Echinacea species belong to the aster family (Asteraceae) that originated in eastern North America. Of the nine identified species, only three are used as medicine. The roots and herbs of the species have been studied for potential immune benefits.
Echinacea has been taken by mouth in Europe and the United States to help prevent or treat the common cold. In the United States, echinacea sales are thought to make up 10 percent of the dietary supplement market. Although much research has been done on the potential cold-fighting effects of echinacea, results are conflicting. There have been reports of a lack of benefit and rash caused by echinacea in children.
Early studies looking at the potential benefits of echinacea for herpes and radiation poisoning have found a lack of evidence. Applying echinacea juice to the skin has been suggested for wound healing, and taking echinacea by mouth or injecting it has been suggested for vaginal yeast infections. However, clear evidence is lacking in these areas.
Echinacea use has been discouraged in people who have autoimmune disease. However, more research is needed before further conclusions can be made.

Actor Robert Davi has made a career of playing tough guys with a signature cigar.
Monte's is not your usual Hollywood hangout.
It's not chic, it's not trendy, and it's no place to camp out waiting for a glimpse of Arnold or Demi. Monte's is located out in the San Fernando Valley, and it's a big, homey, slap-you-on-the-back sort of place, with great steaks, a friendly bar, a huge TV for watching sports and a faithful clientele that wouldn't be caught dead drinking a white wine spritzer or a kir royal. Monte's is Robert Davi's neighborhood hangout, and it's definitely his kind of place.
"Ho, sorry I'm late," Davi says, rushing in for lunch. "We worked all night, until 7:30 this morning, and I slept right through my alarm clock."
Davi looks as though he's just rolled out of bed. He's dressed in rumpled khaki shorts and a silky shirt of electric blue. His hair's still wet, straight out of the shower, and pulled down over it is a baseball-style cap, bill to the rear. The insignia on the cap: Cigar Aficionado. To emphasize the point, Davi has arrived for lunch armed to the teeth: in his fist he's clutching a half-dozen fine cigars.
Davi is not a casual cigar smoker; he's a passionate devotee and has been since long before cigars became high chic in the Hollywood of the 1990s. In his work in movies and television, Davi also likes to have a cigar in hand, to help him add a distinctive flair to his many memorable characterizations of heavies and bad guys. In the James Bond film License to Kill, he played Franz Sanchez, a ruthless Colombian drug lord with a taste for sadism and Dunhills. He has also played an array of gangsters, a Palestinian terrorist, a Mexican bandito and, in the first Die Hard, a hard-edged FBI agent in Los Angeles.
Now, though, Davi is enjoying an exciting departure and a major career opportunity as a good guy. In the new NBC series "Profiler," he's starring as Bailey Malone, the head of an elite FBI anti-crime unit. At Davi's urging, Malone has been written as a tough but warmhearted FBI pro--with a taste for whisky and, of course, fine cigars.
"Malone is an aficionado," Davi says, settling in for what will be his breakfast. "As an FBI agent, he's a man who seeks the truth. And he's also a man who, even from a distance, can distinguish a Cohiba from a Montecristo No. 2."
As a wake-me-up, Davi now orders a monster coffee--a big mug of American coffee with a jolt of espresso jiggered in. In a few moments, he has ordered a breakfast of fried zucchini with cheese melted over the top and a huge filet mignon, one of Monte's specialties. Now he's ready to properly start the day, with a Hoyo de Monterrey Double Corona.
Davi is a bit bleary this afternoon, and with good reason. With "Profiler" in its infancy, Davi has been working around the clock and under enormous stress. He co-stars with Ally Walker, who plays Dr. Sam Waters, a brilliant forensic psychologist with an unusual gift for visualizing the way a crime has taken place and "profiling" the perpetrator. Davi and Walker, with their writers and producers, are still feeling their way, trying to hone their characters and establish the right chemistry between them. As with any start-up venture, there have been frustrations and growing pains. But all the effort feels good to him; at long last, Robert Davi has arrived.
"Unless you're a pretty boy with uncommon appeal--immediate leading man appeal--the normal progression in an acting career is from bad guy to good guy," Davi says. "And it's a progression that happens little by little. It's been hard, but now I'm there."
With a single glance you can see why Davi has so often been typecast as a heavy or a bad guy. The 6-foot, 185-pound actor cuts an imposing figure, with broad shoulders, muscular forearms, and a bearing of strong, almost menacing authority. His face is rugged and distinctive, with prominent cheekbones and folds and creases that suggest a man of character, with hard-earned knowledge of the darker side of the human psyche. Even his voice is edgy, especially when his New York accent is coming through loud and clear.
In conversation, though, a very different man comes to the fore. Davi is funny, light-hearted, a perpetual prankster, and a serious husband and father. And as his fancy for Monte's suggests, there is something refreshingly un-Hollywood about him. He couldn't give a fig about pomp or pretense or putting on airs. Indeed, as he smokes his double corona and talks about his upbringing and early training in theater and music, you can easily see that behind Robert Davi's fearsome gangster's face there beats the heart of a puppy dog, most likely a playful, slobbery Lab.
"I was born in Queens, in Astoria, in a big Italian family," Davi says. The year was 1953. His father, Sal, was born in southern Italy, and though his mother, Mary, was born in America, her family came from southern Italy as well. His maternal grandfather, Stefano Rullo, was a colorful character who had a big impact on Robert as he grew up. Stefano worked for a while laying railroad track in the coal mining regions of Pennsylvania. According to Robert, his grandfather also worked for a while as a bootlegger. When Robert was five, the family--including Grandpa Stefano and his wife, Michelina--moved out of Queens to a two-story brick house on a rural patch of Long Island. With three generations living under the same roof, the common language at the table was frequently Italian.
"I spoke Italian as a kid," says Davi. "I also grew up with red wine. Mucho red wine. Grandpa Stefano would make and barrel red wine in the garage, often with me at his side. I have vivid memories of the smell of fermentation and of the wooden barrels we stored in the garage."
He also grew up with cigars prevalent in the house. Stefano smoked the little Italian cigars known as Toscanos, and Uncle Mike, Stefano's son, loved cigars as well. "I probably had my first cigar when I was 13 or 14," Davi recalls.
Still, his upbringing was hardly freewheeling. He went to Catholic primary schools on Long Island and then to Seton Hall, a Catholic high school. "I had a good education, a very respectful education." And, he adds, he grew up in a racially tolerant family, community and school: "I didn't grow up with any prejudice."
For a long time, sports were Davi's grand passion in life, and he was a school standout in football and baseball. Always big for his age, he played defensive tackle and sometimes offensive end. "I was a lefty, and in baseball I played first base and was a pretty good hitter." The way Davi describes it, his was very much an All-American youth, albeit with an Italian accent. His friends had names such as Sal De Rosa and Joey Lamingino.
While he shone in sports at school, at home he was exposed to a different sort of calling: music. Opera and classical music filled the Davi house, with Puccini being a family favorite. His grandmother sang, while his grandfather had an old windup record player he loved to crank up, except when Robert's mother was drilling him in his lessons. At school young Robert gravitated toward classes in drama and oratory. He loved Jerry Lewis, and at home he often played the family clown. Davi says he began acting formally in the ninth grade, and one of his first roles was in a school production of Macbeth.
His move into music came soon thereafter. The story goes that one day one of the nuns at Seton Hall overheard Robert singing in the locker room shower and she called Robert's mother on the phone. "Your son has a beautiful voice," she said. "Please encourage him to join our glee club."
Davi says he resisted the idea, but his mother was persuasive: "What have you got to lose?" she asked him. The clincher, he says, was his own youthful hormones: "All the pretty Irish girls were in the glee club," he says with a laugh, stabbing a piece of zucchini.
In high school, Davi began entering local competitions for dramatic interpretation--and he began winning prizes. "We had some sort of competition every week," he says. "It was like getting an Oscar almost every week."
Robert's mother was a strong influence on his interest in music and theater. The way Davi describes her, she was a warm Italian momma who loved music and old movies. And she had a true gift for motivating her children. "I had a TV in my room, which was sort of the family den," Davi recalls. "My mother would sit with me in there and we'd watch old movies. 'This is Spencer Tracy,' she'd say, or 'This is Humphrey Bogart.'"
When he was 16, Robert contracted a mysterious illness. He had severe pain in his right arm and joints, combined with bad congestion and inflammation in his chest and lungs. He lost 40 pounds, dropping from his football playing weight of 220 to 230 down to 180. Davi says there was no definitive diagnosis. When he failed to improve, his family--his mother in particular--sought help through prayer and even from faith healers. Robert's own religious faith remained strong, he says, and when the strange illness lifted, some of the doctors treating him declared, "This is a miracle."
The illness plunged Robert into introspection and metaphysics and, he says, it ultimately gave his life a clearer sense of purpose and direction. He dropped out of sports ("I just didn't have the will to play") and he plunged headlong into theater arts. He got into Hofstra University on a drama scholarship and began working with its famous Shakespeare program, which includes a campus replica of Shakespeare's Globe Theater. After a time, though, Robert lost interest in school. Instead, he held a larger ambition: to work with the great Stella Adler, mentor to Marlon Brando and so many other talented actors.
"I was frustrated at Hofstra, so I moved to Manhattan, worked as a waiter and at a fruit-and-vegetable stand. I lived in a cheap railroad flat on East 171st Street, took classes at Juilliard and finally worked my way into Stella Adler's actors' studio. And that made all the difference. This woman was like getting a flame inside you, she was so inspirational."
Davi worked with Adler for three years and also studied with Lee Strasberg. During his apprenticeship, he acted in a rich variety of plays, from Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard and The Seagull to Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and Ken Kesey's One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest. He also got involved in a start-up opera company on Long Island. "I sang baritone, but I had the heart of a tenor," Davi recalls with a laugh, now tearing into his filet mignon, done perfectly and served with a mountain of French fries.
In 1978, when Davi was 24 and still looking for his breakthrough role, he heard about an audition for an NBC movie starring Frank Sinatra, the Italian kid from Hoboken who was his family's hero and his mother's heartthrob. "As soon as I heard about the casting call, I went to the production offices on Fifth Avenue in search of an audition," Davi says. Told to come back the next day with a photo and résumé, Davi instead raced home, got the photo and résumé and came right back. The tactic worked; he was assigned an audition time immediately. And here there's another lovely family story, even if it sounds a bit apocryphal.
"My mother was diagnosed with lung cancer that same week," Davi says. "One night, Frank Sinatra appeared on television and my mother purportedly pleaded to his image on the small screen, 'Frank, help my son!' " Davi got the part, of course, went to Los Angeles and played the role of Mickey Sinardos in Contract on Cherry Street, with Sinatra in the lead.
Davi never moved back to New York. He began working regularly, in the TV miniseries "From Here to Eternity" and "The Gangster Chronicles," about the beginnings of the mob. He also had small roles in a number of eminently forgettable feature films, including Goonies, Wild Things and Raw Deal.
But this was not a happy period for Davi. Between 1977 and 1979, his parents, his sister and two of his grandparents died. Davi says dealing with the family tragedies was profoundly painful. One day at 20th Century Fox, he recalls, he met an attractive woman and they rushed into a relationship and marriage. In 1980 she gave birth to their son, Sean-Christian. Davi now describes that marriage as a kind of escape. "I couldn't face death; I wanted to create life," he says. The marriage did not last.
Though his roles during this period and into the 1980s were not stupendous, Davi honed his acting and developed a flair for foreign accents. His gift for music was a definite asset in this regard and so was his childhood facility with Italian. To prepare for a role with a foreign accent, Davi starts by immersing himself in the music of his character's country of origin. "The music gives you a blood rhythm; you have to feel the language, not just get the words right."
In 1988, ready for a major role, Davi landed the part of a Palestinian terrorist, drawn along the lines of the notorious terrorist Abu Nidal, in the TV movie Terrorist on Trial: The United States vs. Salim Ajami. The project was the brainchild of the highly respected producer George Englund, who has made such movies as The Ugly American and Shoes of a Fisherman and who has worked with Brando and Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.
"Bob prepared extremely well for that part," Englund recalls. "He gave a very successful, very weighty reading. And he came in with a good accent, which is something he has a knack for." To prepare that accent, Davi met with many Arabs and Palestinians, trying to absorb their music, culture, mind-sets and, finally, the intonations and nuances of their languages. The result, Englund says, was a very convincing performance in a very difficult role: "It was a delicate thing because the Arab community at that time was getting very volatile about the way Arabs were being portrayed in the movies. So Bob had to be believable. That was key."
As convincing as Davi was, the role was still that of a bad guy; there was just no breaking Hollywood's typecasting, which Englund says is regrettable. "As an actor, Bob's well-schooled, well-prepared and with a very strong background. He has a very singular appearance, and that's the good news and the bad news. He fits perfectly into what would be called heavies. People making movies want his face. The last thing they want is for him to show interesting facets. I've often told him, 'Robert, you're always going to have to win it on sheer merit. You just don't have the looks of Troy Donahue or Tom Cruise.'"

Peralta sets sights on 20-homer season
ST. LOUIS -- Having etched his name into the franchise record books with his 17th home run as a shortstop on Tuesday night, Jhonny Peralta has his sights now set on the next milestone: 20.
Any additional home runs Peralta hits this season will further distance himself as the single-season shortstop home run leader for this storied franchise. Peralta has hit 20 homers in a season four times, most recently in 2011. His highest single-season total is 24, reached in '05.
"I don't try to go in the field and try to hit a home run," Peralta said. "Whatever happens in the game is going to happen. I try to do the best for the team. If I hit 20 or more, it would be really good."
Currently, Peralta is the only Cardinals player on pace to have a 20-homer season. Matt Adams and Matt Holliday rank second on the team with 12 home runs. No one else has more than nine.
Peralta has hit seven of his homers (including his last three) at Busch Stadium, where he feels has been more difficult to go deep than Comerica Park, his home park the previous four years. His longest stretch without a homer this year has been 22 days.
"The history is really good for the St. Louis Cardinals," Peralta said. "People pay a lot of attention to everything, the record. For me to be [first in home runs for shortstops], I feel really proud about that and more for this organization."

Six Successful Cover Crop Outreach Efforts
Across the United States, 41,509 water bodies are considered too polluted to meet water quality standards. When it has been determined that a river, lake or stream cannot be used for drinking, swimming, or fishing, local authorities often face difficult decisions to address these water quality deficiencies. Constructing water quality treatment infrastructure can be a costly means of meeting water quality standards. Alternatively, addressing non-point sources of nutrient pollution can improve water quality at a much lower cost. As more states and watersheds adopt nutrient reduction strategies, increasing numbers of local entities will look for innovative ways to improve water quality through agricultural stewardship. In particular, cover crops are proving to be a valuable agricultural practice that can significantly reduce pollution flowing into water bodies and help meet nutrient reduction goals.
Cover crops are non-commodity crops that are typically grown during the non-growing season, when the soil would otherwise be bare. Farmers who invest in cover crops typically do so for higher yields, nutrient retention, soil tillage, forage for livestock, reduced erosion, reduced input costs, and a more sustainable cropping system overall.

I think you all forgot one possibility. Although it wasnt cool anymore to make high profile match in WWE a tag match, I wouldnt be glad to see them making one at WM.
Since theres almost no doubt they want to make Super Cena vs The Rock "3 times a year wrestling Peoples Champ" their main event, and its a rematch from last year, it would be too smart to make another rematch in

File server issues and consolidationposted by Dark0ne Game NewsWhen it rains, it pours! I am aware of the current issues with the file servers for both TESNexus and FO3Nexus. This is a completely unrelated issue to the down-time and work that went on yesterday and revolves around a financial move by myself to consolidate the current servers.
Several ISPs are currently in a price war with their 100mbit unmetered services that has brought prices right down. As a result TESNexus and FO3Nexus are being taken down to 1 file server each, along with an addtional premium server, but with a higher throughput than originally available. The current issue lies with the ISP incorrectly locking the network connection at 10mbit rather than 100mbit (so there's some major congestion going on!) and is being looked into as we speak.
The London based servers are being taken offline; bandwidth in the UK costs about twice as much as the US at this time, and what with being in a recession and all it is important I consolidate the available resources and save pennies where-ever possible, even if it's at the expense of some user comforts. A site that works, but is slightly slower, is better than no site at all! This also includes the premium server, which will be taken offline some time next month and replaced by a server in Texas. The Texas premium server will be available within the next week, so for a month or so premium members will have two servers to choose from!
It's important to point out that these are preemptive measures in light of the economic climate and I'm not taking a negative approach to expanding and supporting these sites.

PARIS - David Beckham will make his first start for Paris Saint-Germain in the French Cup match against rival Marseille on Wednesday.
Beckham made his debut for PSG in the 2-0 league win over Marseille on Sunday, coming in during the 76th minute and helping create the second goal.
PSG coach Carlo Ancelotti says Beckham will start in place of suspended midfielder Marco Verratti.
Ancelotti says "this is an important position on the field, it will help the team in building the game and have good positioning. He can play a whole game."
Beckham is aiming to win a championship title in a fourth different country after previous successes with Manchester United, Real Madrid and the Los Angeles Galaxy.
The 37-year-old former England captain joined PSG in January for five months.

It looks like a pretty vast canyon to me but, I was sure before the season and before the draft that it would be that way. I had people telling me that the Colts pass rush was better than the Jets. I have had people here saying lots of things and they lead the league in excuses for their rookie QB.... Perhaps it is time to consider that he is just what the stats say that he is, a very average or less QB. The fact that none of you will look at the stats or watch the other games to see just how much better RGIII is boggles the mind. Do you think Luck could do that 75 yd. TD run? RGIII has world class speed and what he may do is unlimited. He is carrying his team while Luck is burying his.....
I missed the Colts game. Robert looked good, but i still didnt like all the called keepers.
His long scramble to ice the game was nice, though. He disnt wait to long in the pocket, and he made a smart deciaion to not force a pass
I can't wait until Luck leads another game-winning drive so Blu will, for maybe five minutes, just shut the ***** up.
Up until today Luck had the best QBR in the league so stats, just as usual, don't tell the entire story.
I really don't care that a QB ran it for a huge touchdown. I know how those types of QBs end up down the road.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I agree but the fact is that he is not the only one doing it.There's nothing cool about saying someone is going to get injured.
2 wrongs don't make a right. Just because another poster said something about RG3 getting injured (link?) doesn't mean it's ok for olblu to go on a "Luck is going to injured" posting spree.
Btw, a running QB is 100x more likely to get injured so at least there is actual reason to worry about RG3 getting injured. There is no reasonable evidence suggesting Luck is injury prone or at risk of getting injured.
If the mods don't boot the troll, I'm sure a lot of posters will enjoy the official colts forum.

The Colts can protect Luck thru improving the O line (thru player growth, coaching, draft, and FA) as well as play calling. And of course improving the running game as well.
The Redskins can't protect RG3 on designed keepers or leaving the pocket too soon. Let alone if he doesn't sacrifice yards to miss the hit. And it's pretty questionable him playing one week after a rather significant hit and suffering a concussion. Especially considering the position he plays and the style he plays at.
All's well that ends well though I guess.
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
I agree. That Vick guy has had a terrible career.
You can go extreme and say he should never run the ball, but then if you want to use that logic then I guess no QB should ever scramble, lest they get hit....
I agree I thought it was weird he was back this week, but he had to pass all the tests and everyone said he was good to go. He sure looked fine yesterday
So let me get this straight: olblu doesn't want luck to be a failure but he does at the same time? Olblu isnt a fan of the Colts, he just admitted it without knowing he did.
Also if you cna't see the difference between the offensive play calls the Skins call for RGIII and the ones the Colts call for Luck. I don't know what to tell you. Right now Luck is running a more complicated offense. Right this very second.
RGIII is supported by a pretty good defense and a very strong running game. Alfred Morris gives RGIII an offensive support that Luck could only dream of right now. He had a running game like that for one half against the Packers and look at what happened.
You are the only one here trying to say that between RGIII and Luck one will suck and the other will be amazing.
Almost everyone else on this board universally agrees that both QBs will end up having very good careers, but you can only accept that one of them will be good and the other one will not.
Both RGIII and Luck are setting records and doing things we have never seen and instead of just being able to get on here and talk about it and enjoy it, we have to get on here and listen to your insufferable *****ing about Luck. We can't have hold an actual comparison between Luck and RGIII if we wanted to because all we ever hear from you is that Luck sucks, is overrated and has excuses made for him. It is insane that we can't just be able to enjoy both of them and instead have to hear how we are all out to get RGIII when nothing is further from the truth.
I mean **** the Colts and Skins don't even play in the same conference let alone the same division, they are not natural rivals, and yet we can't even root for both of them because of how intent you are on bludgeoning us about Luck every single time he makes a mistake. However as soon as RGIII has a good game you get on here creaming your pants about it. You completely ignore the fact that Luck is the first QB maybe ever? To lead TWO game winning fourth quarter drives in the first month of his rookie season. You keep forgetting that Luck is being forced to throw much more than RGIII and in a much more complicated down field passing offense. RGIII plays in a very controlled quick hitting, dink and doink pass scheme. Instead of being able to talk about the fact that both of these guys are having incredible rookie years so far, we have to hear about how Luck is going to be carried off on a stretcher and that he sucks and that the Colts have set themselves back a decade with picking him none of those things are based on stats or in reality, you are literally the only person that I have seen anywhere proclaim such baseless jibberish.
I don't know if you're exactly going to help RGIII by comparing him to Vick. Vick has had a pretty "Meh" career for a first round draft pick. No conference champ appearances, lots of turnovers, and lots of injuries. RGIII will have to be more of a pocket QB as his career wears on. He is built more like Vick, not like Steve McNair for example.
Except he did change his game. He played smarter, and actually "slide", something I did not think he was capable of doing.....
I HOPE he is more productive.
However I think it is unfair to say Vick has not won more becuase of his style of play.
FWIW, I agree (and hope) RG3 becomes more a passer and less of a runner. Obviously, this is a process that will take a while to progress, it will not happen over night.
I have been a fan of the Colts since the early days of Johnny Unitas. That doesn't mean that I agree with the way the team is run or that I think management is always right or even rarely right. I think Irsay is one of the worst owners in the NFL. He got lucky with Peyton and he is trying to strike gold the same way again. The difference is that Peyton had much more talent around him and a better line to protect him. That is not a good recipe in my opinion. I have not seen great results from teams that draft their francise QBs before they have a line around them. I have seen a lot of careers destroyed that way but you all will break out your excuse book and say those QBs were just never good enough. The people here make more excuses for Luck than any other QB in the NFL. My take is that if RGIII were here, the Colts would be better and would get more wins with him. If Luck were in Washington, they would be dealing with rookie mistakes and they would not be as good as they are right now. That is just my opinion and nothing more but the people here in Washington (that is where I am now) certainly believe it. Their comments invariably contain a "Thank God we didn't draft Andrew Luck" just like the Colts board says "Thank God we didn't draft RGIII." That is fandom speaking. The nearest thing with the Pacers is the people who say, "Thank God we didn't trade for Bynum." They would be a lot better now if they had. This argument is going to go on for years because the two QBs were drafted one, two and they were so close. It is my opinion that RGIII will put a lot of distance between himself and Luck over the next three years and Colts management will not be effective at putting a team around him as they are currently constructed. The coaches illness doesn't help this but even good coaches rarely survive a complete rebuild......
[QUOTE=Trader Joe;1509917]Andrew Luck ran the same 40 time as Cam Newton. who you claim is just a beast of a young QB.
Also if you cna't see the difference between the offensive play calls the Skins call for RGIII and the ones the Colts call for Luck. I don't know what to tell you. Right now Luck is running a more complicated offense. Right this very second.
You can be very fast and still not be a great runner. RGIII is world class fast and a very good runner. He will do less running as he picks up the passing game more. I do see the difference in the play calling and that is a compliment to Washington's coaching staff and a failing of the Colts staff. Luck might be doing better and might not have to run for his life and take such punishment if his offense was simplified. Right this very second.....
I am not gleefull about Luck eventually being serious injured. I am resigned to it as I would be about any QB taking that kind of beating. I have made it clear that I am NOT an Andrew Luck fan. I thought he was the most overrated player to ever come into the NFL and I thought the price we paid to get him would strangle the franchise for many years if not a decade or more. I still think that. I believe the Colts front office is bordering on inept now that Irsay it playing a bigger role. I think that this front office and the coaching staff will not last to year four. That is usually the fate of the rebuilders. I don't believe complete rebuilds are necessary and great teams like the Patriots just don't do them. Yes, they may have a rare 6-10 season but they don't become the laughing stock of the league every so many years. They do have the evil genius guiding them so that is part of the reason. They are masters at letting some folks go while they still have some value and they are very good with midrange draft picks. They are getting ready to let Wes Welker go but they won't go 2-14 to do it......
[QUOTE=OlBlu;1509927]I thought Griffin was a superstar? Why would he need to pick up on the passing game?
You know how hippos are made out to be sweet and silly, like big cows, but are actually extremely dangerous and can kill you with stunning brutality? The Pacers are the NBA's hippos....Matt Moore CBS Sports....
The price we paid to get him? What price did we pay to get him? Do you really think this team is winning games with Peyton Manning this year? Would Peyton have been playing safety against the Jags on that TD pass? Would Peyton have been playing safety and linebacker yesterday as Shonn Greene ate our defense alive? The two games Peyton probably would have won us on last second drives, Minny and GB, Luck has also won us.
I forgot that Peyton was never ever blown out by the Jets....oh wait....41-0, and 44-6 his rookie year when he was 20-44 for 193 yards and 2 picks in New York, honestly the way they are mirroring each other early is getting a little eerie..

VOLUNTEERS who 'muck in' week in week out to help maintain Darwen Cemetery have received a welcome boost.
The Friends of Darwen Cemetery have bought a new 'muck truck' to help with restoration projects in the cemetery.
The vehicle is a remote- controlled dumper truck, meaning waste material can be moved without the need for a wheelbarrow.
The East Lancashire Masonic Charity donated £2,650 to the group in order to fund the new machine.
John East, group chairman and a Whitehall town councillor, said: "The machine is basically a little tipper truck with a remote control, so nobody has to push it.
"It will probably be able to carry about three or four wheelbarrows worth of stuff.
"It means we can move stuff from one side of the cemetery to the other and it will make the labour- intensive jobs a lot easier.
"We had been looking for one of these for a long while and then the Masons came and said they would buy one for us.
"We are so grateful for the donation, and the 'muck truck' will certainly make things a lot easy for the work parties."
Terry Woods, volunteer at the East Ribble District Freemasons, said: "It gave us great pleasure to present the cheque to the Friends of Darwen Cemetery.
"We offered to do some volunteering work and support the friends with some removal of rhododendrons during our visit."
And David Lightbown, district chairman of the East Lancashire Masons, who attended the presentation and helped the cemetery volunteers, told them: "It is clear that you all put much effort and work in.
"You should be very proud of yourselves.
"We will certainly spread the word about your work and hopefully get another work party together the near future."

"It's a completely stocked science lab!" declared principal Rabbi Joshua Levy. "We already have a great science program. This is a way to get it up a couple of notches."
The redesign of the center, which has a capacity for roughly 25 students, was funded by a grant from Dr. Raphael and Rene Rubin.
'Volumes of Information'
While Torah Academy has had Internet access for a while now, according to Levy, this is the first time an entire science classroom will be able to hook up to the World Wide Web.
That kind of connectivity, he added, offers a wealth of possibilities.
"They'll be able to research topics and get volumes of information," he said.
Along with the new equipment, the school plans to send its budding scientists on a number of field trips.
"We'll go to science centers around New York, to research pharmaceutical facilities and visit some laboratories," relayed Levy.
The school also plans to call in the professionals.
"The speakers that are going to be [addressing] the children are experts in science and medicine," said the principal.
To help launch the center, explained Levy, the school hired a new instructor – Kim Ragazino – who with a background in natural and environmental sciences will "expand this program way past the textbook."

British-based Virgin Atlantic Airways was first out of the gate Monday with a royal baby promotion.
To commemorate the birth of Kate and William's boy, who will be third in line to the British throne, the airline will bestow a perk upon U.S. airport passengers who are third in line.
For 24 hours from the birth announcement, the third person issued a boarding pass for Virgin Atlantic flights to London out of San Francisco, New York-JFK, Washington-Dulles, Boston or Newark, N.J., will receive two passes to Virgin's Upper Class Clubhouse for a little preflight "royal treatment" (as in free cocktails, high-end appetizers and castle-like sanctuary from those airport commoners).
The offer applies to customers checking in online and in person. Details: www.virginatlantic.com.

Head and Neck Cancer
Headaches, Ringing in Ears, Tingling
I`m having headaches, ringing in ears, tingling numing feeling on left side of face, slight sore tooth when face feels the numbing feelings, then it just goes away. Also my legs sometimes feel like ther no circulation or blood flowing when I sit down, like a knot in my leg cuting off blood circulation or some thing. I had this problem for a long time now its geting worse. I told doctor but the clinic I go to is a free one so Tylenol is the answer, or stress for everything, then on to the next patient. I have no luck there. I just got medical coverage and I want to know what can it be, or what kind of doctor can I see?
In order to have your diverse medical questions answered, you need to start with a generalist (i.e. Internal Medicine doctor) to help sort out things. Otherwise based on the symptoms you would likely need to see multiple specialists (i.e. ENT, vascular, neuology, dental just for starters).

CarGo sits out as he deals with cold
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Rockies All-Star left fielder Carlos Gonzalez did not bring back his best hitting stroke when he returned to the club after participating with Venezuela in the World Baseball Classic. All he brought back was a nasty cold that he's still trying to shake.
Gonzalez is 0-for-8 with two walks, two RBIs and two runs scored in three games since coming back to the Rockies.
"I haven't felt very well since I got back, health-wise -- I have congestion in my body and my stomach," said Gonzalez, who was not in the lineup for Monday night's game against the Reds at Salt River Fields at Talking Stick. "But I'm trying to get back, feel better, take a lot of medicine and start recovering.
"Either way, I'm not wasting my time. I'm taking at-bats. I'm seeing pitches. That's all a part of Spring Training. Of course, I'll be ready to play in the season. We're already excited about Opening Day. The good part is we have something like 10 more games left. We can get work in, concentrate and be ready for first pitch. We all want to be 100 percent when that happens."

Question help

Question help
Hi there,
Can someone pls help with the following questions? I've written down what I think (altho its prob wrong) but any help will be most appreciated!
what are the limitations/advantages of animal bioassays?....is it basically just stuff like accuracy, we used organ baths in our labs and many times out tension was different or stuff like wrong concnetrations via pipetting..and the advantages being things like able to determine the effects various drugs have on the tissue and able to calculate their potency?
Advantages/disadvantages of in vivo animal studies vs. cells?...in vivo studies lets us see what happens to the whole animal (knockout exps) whilst cell just shows what happens to the tissue it was extracted from
disadvantages of hetologous expression systems? (no idea bout this one)
Re: Question help
they are all worth 10 marks each so dnt think cost is gna get me thing ...any other ideas?
No think about the cost of the assays. Raising animals vs keeping cells... But their are other reason, like the complexity of whole animal (intake, product life, etc..) that you pointed out or complex effects that cells cannot really mimick (ex: read about the botulinum toxin assay)
Science has proof without any certainty. Creationists have certainty without
any proof. (Ashley Montague)
Re: Question help
ahh ok, thx!...
i hv a few more that i need help with:
what are the advantages and disadvantages of autoradiography or immunohistochemistry over homogenate binding?...disadvantages of homogenate binding will include non-specific binding and also there has to be a radioactive form of the ligand being studied whilst immunohisto and autoradiography will not have these things to worry about. advantages for histo. and immuno aare that amplification can occure dur to the secondary antibody etc......any other info will be soo helpful!
the disadvantages/advantages of immunohisto and autoradiography (AG)...is it just that with immuno visualization is more easier cos it just invovles a microscope as opposed to in AG you have to use "bigger machines"...need help on this question as well
also..both these q's were 10marks each so im thinking if i wrote in my exam wat i hv above i wld get really low..so please help me!!..

Just as Amityville was heating up, the fire alarm rang at Wyandanch with 23 seconds left in the third quarter. The building was evacuated and the players and fans stood outside for about 10 minutes.
It turned out to be smoke from the kitchen that ignited the alarm and everyone was let back in with no harm done. The brief delay couldn't slow down the Amityville momentum, especially Raven Price and Janiece Jenkins.
Price had 17 points and 13 rebounds and Jenkins had 18 points and 10 rebounds for Amityville in a 55-41 win over Wyandanch Saturday in the Wyandanch Basketball Classic. Marshae Sterling scored 12 points for Amityville (5-2).
"I didn't think the delay would impact us," said Price, who was the game MVP and is the sister of Amityville graduate A.J. Price, who now plays for the Indiana Pacers. "It was cold out there. We just needed to get back in the flow quickly."
Following the delay, Sterling scored on a layup with one second left in the third quarter to give Amityville a 40-38 lead. Then Price stepped up her game. After Sterling missed a free throw, Price scored on a putback.
After she got a steal, a double team came her way in the post and she dished to an open Sterling for a layup under the basket and a 44-38 lead. Symone Jacas scored on a putback and Jenkins went 1-for-2 from the foul line before Price hit a jumper with 4:35 left in the game for a 49-38 lead. Wyandanch went scoreless in the quarter until Jalicia Robinson scored with 2:48 left to make it 51-40.
"I told Raven Price to take over the game and handle the basketball," Amityville coach Shabue Mosley said. "She's a post player, but she can handle the basketball and have everything go through her. She needs to lead these young girls. She acted like a senior captain. I saw it in her eyes. She started grabbing every rebound and demanded the ball more."
Jenkins played with the flu and struggled in the first half. She turned it on in the second half, scoring 12 points with nine coming in a 21-15 third quarter.
"I couldn't let my teammates down," Jenkins said. "I had to keep shooting."
Said Mosley: "I told her to just get through it and take the open shots. She's a scorer. In the last couple minutes, she came up with some big rebounds."
Wyandanch (2-9) played well for three quarters. Brianna Lampkins scored all 12 of her points on three-pointers in a 23-19 first half for the Warriors. Lorenza Birt spent most of the first half on the bench with foul trouble, but exploded in the third quarter with 13 of her 14 points.
Wyandanch honored former coach Warren Fuller at halftime. Fuller, who retired before the season, coached 33 seasons at the school and is second in the state with 579 career wins. Wyandanch assistant coach Carl Clark presented Fuller with a plaque.

Great Product!!Works great! Priced great! — 9 years, 10 months agomvap47 | 345 reviews
Suave has stepped their game!!I do not normally like suave or even waste my 1 dollar bill on it, but they were giving away samples. Wanted to see how "professional" suave can be. Great shampoo!! Believe it or not, no buildup, plumped my hair and it washed out with no wax left behind. I wouldn't use this as my go to shampoo but if you are on a budget, highly recommended. Inexpensive and smells good ! — 5 years, 4 months agoGlowGirl | 108 reviews
AVERAGEUsed Suave years ago and it is an OKAY shampoo. For the price you can't go wrong. — 4 years, 1 month agoHandbagLover | 150 reviews

Volume?I'm not so sure if this product gives me volume, I haven't really noticed. That probably means that the product is lacking in giving volume for me. But it IS really great at removing product build-up. It makes mt hair feel very clean. — 8 years agohankatcar | 146 reviews

Great volumeSomeone told me that Suave shampoo works as well as better, more expensive brands. I tried the volumizing shampoo and conditioner and figured if I didn't like it, it wouldn't be a big loss because of the low cost. I LOVE it!!

Last years build for the Rock Vs. Cena 1 was way too weak with the twitter wars and barely any TV rivalry time. This year was a way better build up, and I actually am looking forward to the match this

Hi everyone.
I'm Kat, I've been active on this board for a while but mostly in the Women With Epilepsy forum. I was going to post this in there but I feel like it should be more open to everyone since it's not focusing on women only issues.
Since starting Lamictal almost two years ago, I have noticed some fluctuations with my mood as well as my ability to concentrate, that showed mostly as I got up in the dosage. I started at 25mg like most patients and eased my way up to my current 250mg BID (twice a day) dosage. I did the escalation slow as recommended & did not experience any obvious side effects. However, as I've gotten more into my medication routine with it, I have noticed that my moods seem to fluctuate (just a little bit, but still noticeable) and I know that Lamictal is also used to manage bipolar disorder. I am currently in the process of switching doctors so I've been waiting to talk to my new doctor about these issues. I don't have the best relationship with my current doctor & feel as if he doesn't listen so I don't see the point in even bringing it up. In fact, I believe I brought it up to him in the past but to no avail. His answer for everything is either "that's normal but not worrysome" or "lets increase the dose & call me in a week".
To run through what I've noticed, the main thing is that I have a hard time handling a day regimen that requires me to multitask. This presents a lot of problems because I have a very busy life with working, managing my home due to my boyfriend being away a lot for his work, taking care of a new puppy practically by myself & being a college student, about to enter a very heavily crowded schedule. I have taken on two jobs in the fall after school starts & even though I have an optimistic look to it, I know from my past that my memory lapses cause a lot of problem. For example, I missed the deadlines for several things involving school that will make my semester hard such as missing the deadline for a grant that would be very helpful & missing the date to order the main campus parking permit & having to get one that's much more difficult to deal with.
I've always been a little scatterbrained but it seems much worse lately. Sometimes someone can tell me something & in just fifteen minutes, I forget what they said. This causes a lot of frustration with everyone around me & makes me feel incompetent. I'm not entirely sure it's just the medication but in my heart, I feel like it has something to do with it.
Does anyone else that's on Lamictal (I take the generic lamotragine) experience similar problems? If so, how much does it affect your life & how much is your current dosage?
I appreciate any feedback.
Thanks guys!

These little three-bite Pistachio Agave Cookies ($3) are stored in glass cookie jars at Toby's Estate. They compete with the likes of Roberta's glorious Sticky Buns, canelés, and gigantic lamingtons, and while they're not nearly as attractive as the rest, order one to-go and you won't regret it. The toasty pistachio flavor is vibrant, and the touch of agave seems only to amplify it, while the texture is like a cross between a flourless cookie and traditional meringue. (For those curious, it is gluten-free). Crunch and then melt into this simultaneously soft and chewy, nutty cookie—three bites is just enough to satisfy.

Some weekends it seems like nothing much is happening. This will not be one of those.
The Bay Area is gearing up for a remarkable confluence of sports, music and culture -- a perfect storm of high-profile events where literally there is something for everyone.
Baseball playoffs. Bluegrass. Football. Justin Bieber onstage. America's Cup World Series regatta on the bay. And the breathtaking sight of the Blue Angels in the sky.
And that's just the start of a lengthy list of pulse-racing doings that will have the region hopping, dancing and cheering.
"This is what we live for here," said Giants CEO Larry Baer. "There's just a vibe to the region right now. There's so many events going on and it makes you feel alive. We're lucky to live in such a vibrant community."
That's not just Chamber of Commerce-style hype, either. Consider this marquee lineup:
"That's pretty awesome," said Jonny Gomes, the A's outfielder and Petaluma native, about the weekend. "You should go around town, soak in all that stuff, then head for Napa and do some wine tasting on your way out."
So, buckle up. Wait, on second thought, officials are asking -- actually, begging -- that you instead use public transportation because this convergence of events promises to create traffic headaches.
"This really is unprecedented," said Jerry Robbins of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. "We've had football and baseball simultaneously. We've had football and Fleet Week simultaneously. But we've never had everything all at once. We're encouraging people to use any transportation other than drive."
Public officials have had this weekend circled for months and are beefing up mass transit service to help deal with the masses, like the wave heading for the free Hardly Strictly Bluegrass event. The six-stage, 88-act jam includes an eclectic range of artists such as Emmylou Harris, The Civil Wars, Elvis Costello and Dwight Yoakam.
The festival reportedly has drawn 800,000 in the past, but publicist Tracey Buck would only say that they are expecting a "massive" crowd.
"This is probably the craziest weekend in a good long time and maybe the craziest ever," Buck said. "When it rains, it pours." Then she stopped herself. "But hopefully there's no rain."
No worry. The National Weather Service is predicting a pleasant fall weekend in the Bay Area after the recent warm spell.
In addition to events that had been long scheduled, the Giants and the A's crashed the party by surging into the playoffs -- making it a great time to be a Bay Area sports fan.
The Giants are vying for their second World Series title in three years. The A's, despite one of the lowest payrolls in baseball, have become the national pastime's best story. The 49ers are playing like a Super Bowl contender.
"It's a perfect weekend for sports," said Gary Radnich, the longtime KRON television and KNBR radio personality.
So perfect that he's staying home to watch multiple games from his couch.
Music fans also might feel there is too much going on. Gary Bongiovanni, editor-in-chief of Pollstar, which monitors the concert scene, said it's only coincidence that so many must-see acts have arrived at one time in the Bay Area.
But while tickets for the Madonna show and others might have been purchased months ago, Bongiovanni said: "Your baby-sitter bills might be a little high this weekend."
Mike Ferguson, spokesman with the San Francisco area office of the California Highway Patrol, said if people must drive, they should carpool and give themselves plenty of extra time.
"We don't want to discourage you from coming out," he said. "But be smart about it. If you're going to Fleet Week, come early because if you're traveling near 49ers game time, you're going to be facing trouble."
49ers owner Jed York and wife Danielle plan to attend a rooftop barbecue Saturday to watch the Blue Angels and, of course, the 49ers game at Candlestick Park. But that's enough fun, he said, with Danielle expecting their first child in two weeks.
"This is just a great time with all the teams playing and everything going on," York said. "A rising tide really does float all boats. It's really exciting. In fact I told Larry Baer that it's a 50 percent chance that Danielle goes into labor either at a Niners or Giants game."

EVERETT — Police are reminding folks to stay safe as boating season kicks off Saturday.
Temperatures in the Everett area are predicted to reach the 80s this weekend, according to the National Weather Service in Seattle.
Warm weather combined with fun on the water can result in tragedy in Snohomish County. The county so far this year has seen at least one boating-related drowning on Silver Lake.
Roughly a dozen people have died in boating accidents in Snohomish and Island counties since 2008, state data show. Some of the most common factors in fatalities were people not wearing life jackets, using alcohol and drugs or falling overboard. Overloading and capsizing because of rough weather also were factors.
"We encourage people to have fun but to pay extra attention to others on the water and as always, wear your life jacket, and know and follow the boating laws," said Snohomish County sheriff's Lt. Rodney Rochon, who leads the marine unit.
People are reminded to check weather and water conditions before they head out. They should let people know where they're going and when they'll check back in, Rochon said.
That can aid rescue crews in the event of an emergency so they can find people faster.
Everyone should wear life jackets that fit well and meet modern U.S. Coast Guard standards, Rochon said. People also should obtain and carry the boater education card as required by state law. Exceptions to the law exist based on horsepower and operator age.
Groups also should assign an adult to watch children around the water full time.
People who operate boats while drunk or high can be arrested and face criminal sanctions, Rochon said.
Last year, the violations most commonly spotted by marine officers were for people not having enough life jackets, not having their boater education card and not carrying updated boating registration information.

Staying safe
For more information about boater education, go to www.boatered.org.
For child safety and life jacket rental information, go to www.snosafekids.org. Life jacket rental cabinets at local parks are slated to open Memorial Day Weekend.
•Never use innertubes and rafts designed for swimming pools on open water.
Know your limits; do not attempt a section of river beyond your skill level.
Pay attention to weather and water conditions. Wear wool clothing or a wet suit and dress for the water temperature. If the water temperature and air temperature combined total 100 degrees or less, wear protective clothing.
Enter cold water slowly.
Avoid swimming near boat ramps or in boating areas.
Avoid downed trees, snags and confluences.
If your vessel capsizes, float on your back, feet together and pointed downstream. If you go over a ledge or drop, tuck into a ball.
If you're caught in a fast-flowing river or rapids, try to float feet first in a half-sitting position. Release your craft only if it improves your safety. Stay upstream, away from the boat.
Also this time of year, emergency crews often have to respond to incidents where infants or toddlers have fallen out of windows, according to Snohomish County Fire District 1. Parents should move furniture away from windows and consider installing safety devices. Screens will not bear a child's weight. Window devices should be easily removed by adults in case of a fire.

Hey everyone,
I've been browsing and reading here forever, but I got my hands on a video camera, so it felt like about time to make an account and post a video. I would appreciate your feedback... I've tried tons of the drills on here sporadically, but I don't do any religiously... I kinda think that if someone points out which one(s) I would benefit most from that would help me motivate myself to really do them everyday instead of just going out and throwing.
Both throws are with Star Wraiths, my driver of choice. I'm getting about 350' or so on a pretty flat, straight line, with little to no wind. I tend to be a pretty low, flat thrower in general, and I tend to be better with understable rather than overstable plastic.
Having watched that several times, it seems to me that my weight could stand to be further forward, more over my front leg instead of between my legs at the hit. And speaking of the hit, I don't think I'm really hitting it. I'm not sure if that's because I don't have enough late acceleration or if its because my timing is off, I would like to hear what you guys think. Also, as a bit of general information, I have trouble getting the nose down on anything above my typical hair-level laser beam. I don't know if this is a form flaw, or if its because of my weight being too far back, or if its wrist extension/lack there of, but I would like to be able to throw higher for longer drives and for the sake of some line shaping issues on a few courses.
Thanks for your time guys, like I said I'd really appreciate it if you could just give me a bit of feedback and some drills to do, and better yet, hold me to the drills... I hope posting will make me feel accountable and I'll stick to them a little better than I have in the past.

I had planned on starting my garden updates this weekend, but yesterday it rained all day, and even today it's a bit cold, so I'll just tell you that with 17 tomato plants, there will be a lot of slow roasted tomatoes in my future! Hopefully I'll have the first garden update of 2007 next weekend.
Now, here's what people have been cooking and blogging about, and there are so many recipes this week that I'd love to try!
Melbourne, Australia
New Jersey, U.S.A.
Toronto, Canada
Ruth from Once Upon a Feast has been moving to be closer to her grandson (good reason to move!) so she's focusing on easy dishes in her kitchen. This week she roasted some chicken and cauliflower with fresh herbs, and then later in the week she made another roasted chicken. So that's two votes for roasted chicken when you're not quite settled into your new kitchen, and fresh herbs make it even better.
North Carolina, U.S.A.
There is always something interesting cooking in the kitchen with Asha, who shares her recipes created for events at Aroma. This week she is focusing on peppercorns for WHB and creates a very interesting sounding dish called Pepper Chicken, with a combination of seasonings that sounds great to me.
Next, Sra from When My Soup Comes Alive sends us a post about the yin and yang of summer in tropical countries, with the excessive heat, dust, and humidity, but also the wonderful fruits, including Indian mangoes. Sra has a recipe for Mutton Fry, garnished with cilantro and sounding just heavenly to me.
Seattle, Washington
Chicken Marsala with Parsley is the featured dish up next, beautifully cooked by Amy of Nook and Pantry. When I confessed to Amy that I've never tried this famous dish, she said this is the first time she's had it too, but it certainly did turn out looking spectacular. (Note to self: must try this.)
Surrey, U.K.
Next is one of those talented bilingual bloggers who amaze me so. On her English blog, Trembom in English, Valentina has shared a lovely sounding recipe for a Salad with Tomato, Quinoa, Chillie, Lime, and Avocado. Doesn't everything about that ingredient list sound perfect?
Zurich, Switzerland
Peppermint is the featured herb this week for Myriam from Once Upon a Tart. She's showing us an interesting and amazingly easy way to make Peppermint Sugar, and Myriam tells us just a tiny amount will add a delightful minty flavor to lots of dishes.
California, U.S.A.
One of the most creative dishes imaginable comes next from Tigerfish at Teczcape. First, she uses fresh baby spinach to make pesto. Then she sautees some lovely looking sea scallops and layers them with the pesto to make Spinach Pesto Scallop Scallopwiches. You must see this one!
Covina, California, U.S.A.
Another great combination is this Pesto Chicken which comes from Melting Wok. Of course, everyone loves pesto, but there are a couple of surprise ingredients here which really caught my attention. See what you think.
Somewhere Near the Triangle, North Carolina, U.S.A.
Pookah from What's Cooking in Carolina has shown us a wonderfully interesting way to cook green beans. From a dinner loaded with great-sounding chutneys, Pookah is spotlighting Green Beans with Coconut and Brown Mustard Seed for WHB this week, and it sounds great to me.
Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A.
Another amazing post next from MeleCotte, where Christ not only gives a great recipe for Fruit and Vegetable Spring Rolls, complete with powerpoint drawings of how to fold them, but also shares some fabulous sounding recipes for dipping sauces. I am very impressed!
Heart of the Vendee, France
You will be very envious when you read about the lovely lettuces that Katie from Thyme for Cooking is growing for her upcoming summer salads. She starts out the salad-eating season this week with a Sausage, Potato and Chevre Salad which sounds like a completely winner.
Springfield, Missouri, U.S.A.
Next, here comes Glenna from Fridge Full of Food who has been very busy making some Herbalicious Oils. You'll be drooling on your screen when you read the wonderful combinations she's made and I can think of endless possibilities for using them. Great job, Glenna!
Davis, California, U.S.A.
How fun that right after Glenna I hear from her buddy Sher from What Did You Eat, who seems to have the same taste buds I do; her food always looks good to me. This week she's made absolutely gorgeous Cottage Cheese Dill Bread, and you simply must go see the fabulous combination on the sandwich she made from this bread.
A delightful looking antipasti of Marinated Eggplant and Zucchini (Melanzane and Zucchini Marinate) comes next from Brigitte of Küchendunst Aus Singapur. She gives very good instructions for marinating these two veggies and how to preserve them in jars, or if you want to eat them right away there are suggestions which sound wonderful.
Melbourne, Victoria, Australia
In the southern hemisphere it's getting colder, and Anh from Food Lover's Journey is thinking of soup. Her love for cauliflower has been renewed with Creamy and Cheesy Cauliflower Soup, something I'd love to eat in any weather.
Vienna, Austria
Astrid from Paulchen's Food Blog has been ultra busy these days, but she still manages to find time to make a delicious looking baked dish with Gnocchi, Zucchini, Mushrooms and Cheese. There are fresh herbs in the dish, including cilantro, which Astrid has taught me is used in Portugese food.
I've decided that Angie of My Kitchen, My Laboratory has made the most perfectly shaped dinner rolls I've ever seen from her recipe of Swedish Dill Bread; they're simply gorgeous. Possibly Angie and Sher are channeling each other this week to both make a bread with dill, halfway around the world from each other.
New York City Metro Area, U.S.A.
Susan, The Well Seasoned Cook, has a husband who is not fond of cabbage, but Susan manages to tempt him into eating it when she transforms savoy cabbage, carrots, and peppers into Confetti Cole Slaw with a sweet and sour dressing. I think this salad sounds just wonderful, and you must see Susan's great photos of the savoy cabbage.
Melbourne, Australia
I think Haalo from Cook (almost) Anything At Least Once has made so many interesting dishes for Weekend Herb Blogging, and this week she has a surprise for us again. Featuring the humble parsnip, a vegetable Haalo admits that has a bad reputation, she transforms it into Chocolate and Parsnip Loaf. You've got to see it to believe that a parsnip could look so completely delicious.
Colchester, Essex, U.K.
It's a dish that's sure to win over the most obstinate okra-avoider out there; Freya from Writing From the Kitchen Table dazzles us with Akri Bhindi or Crisp Okra. This is a combination of strips of okra, red pepper, green pepper, onion, and ginger, coated with chickpea flour and fried until it's all crisp and yummy-looking.
Pasadena, California
We are entering the season of salad in the U.S. and Rice Noodle Salad with Grapefruit, Watercress and Cashews from Emily of Superspark sounds just fantastic. If that list of ingredients doesn't have your attention yet, there is also mint and cilantro and a lime-juice dressing. Emily, please send me some.
Next up is an interesting pasta dish from the lovely Sarina, the Trini Gourmet. What makes this recipe for Pasta with Basil, Tomatoes, and Lemon Zest extra appealing to me is that the tomatoes, herbs, and olive oil spend some time together before they get added to the pasta, which I'm sure really blends the flavors in a wonderful way.
Kronshagen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany
The beautiful yellow flower called Rape is in full bloom near the home of Ulrike from Kuchenlatein, and she's sharing some photos. Visit her blog to see how lovely it looks.
Connecticut, U.S.A.
Sarah from Cucina Bella is writing a cookbook, and she's letting us see one of the recipes in advance. How cool is that! Mouthwatering Greek Salad has lots of fresh oregano, making it extra good, not to mention very healthy too.
Salt Lake City, Utah, U.S.A.
My own entry this week featured Shrimp and Black Bean Salad with Cilantro, Cumin, and Lime, a combination I came up with when my freezer runneth over with shrimp. If you're not a cilantro fan like some of my blogging friends (you know who you are) then just substitute the cilantro in the salad for parsley and it will still taste fantastic.

Chris Culliver, the 49ers cornerback, is taking a ton of heat for the outrageously offensive things he said Wednesday about gay players. He earned it.
But we'd like to point out something remarkable that the 49ers organization and four of its players did last August -- something that deserves just as much attention as what Culliver said. They became the first in the notoriously macho NFL to join "It Gets Better," the anti-bullying campaign aimed at helping gay and lesbian teenagers. They released a video that has gotten more than 100,000 views on YouTube.
Safety Donte Whitner, linebacker Ahmad Brooks and defensive tackles Ricky Jean Francois and Isaac Sopoaga stepped out on a limb to join the fight against homophobia. They look even more like heroes today. The team that backs "It Gets Better" quickly denounced Culliver's hateful words Wednesday, and so did Coach Jim Harbaugh, who has said he would welcome a gay player in the locker room.
Chris Culliver was flaunting his ignorance. There are still many like him in the NFL and in the world. But many others in the 49ers organization are making a positive difference in the battle for equality. We hope Culliver's rant shines a light on the good work other 49ers are doing to end the bigotry their teammate now represents.

One of Montreal's largest wholesale distributors and importers is leaving its 12-year-old, rented headquarters in the central market.
President George Pitsikoulis said Canadawide is moving to a new building just west, along Highway 40.
The first phase of the building is now complete, Pitsikoulis said. It brings together half the company's storage facilities and adds 20,000 feet of production space to expand the Frescadel packaging program.
While the original plan was to construct phase two after the company's lease in the central market expired in about eight years, he said the plan was accelerated recently after Canadawide struck an agreement with its landlord, owner of the Marche Central shopping center next door.
"The agreement enables us to leave sooner rather than later," Pitsikoulis said.
He said Canadawide expects to complete the second phase of the construction project by the end of 2013.
"Then we will have our entire operation under one roof," he said.
Pitsikoulis said he understands the building he currently occupies and the parking lot around it will be demolished and the space will be home to a new retail anchor and smaller retail stores.
The agreement has left the grower's market across the parking lot pondering its future.
Andre Plante, general manager of the Quebec Produce Growers Association, said his group plans to conduct a large, comprehensive $100,000 study involving everyone who uses the market, from growers and distributors to customers.
"Buyers may say they want something new and different, or they don't like the access to the market," he said.
"We want a forum with all the players to decide what we should do for the future."

You are sitting at your desk when you are handed an envelope that just arrived in the mail. It bears the return address of the Department of Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) and it contains an administrative subpoena seeking information and documents relating to a particular transaction in which your company participated. It asks you to make this discovery production to OFAC's Office of Enforcement within 30 days.
You may have seen news stories about financial institutions and manufacturing companies facing extremely large civil penalties for violations of OFAC's sanctions programs, but if you have not dealt with OFAC before, there are several important questions that you are probably asking yourself:
- What is OFAC?
- What should you do in response to the subpoena?
- What are the potential consequences for your company as a result of an investigation?
- What can you do to ensure compliance with OFAC's regulations or to avoid an investigation in the first place?
This article answers these questions and offers a brief introduction to the subject of OFAC enforcement actions.
What is OFAC?
OFAC is a component of the Department of Treasury that administers and enforces economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. against various countries and individuals. OFAC supervises a host of sanctions programs, which fall into one of two basic categories:
- Comprehensive sanctions programs that broadly prohibit transactions with all individuals and companies in particular countries: Cuba, Iran, Myanmar, Sudan and Syria.
- Non-comprehensive programs that prohibit transactions with specifically named individuals and entities who are in certain countries (such as North Korea or the Ivory Coast) or who are engaged in terrorism, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction or international narcotics trafficking. These individuals and entities are included in a list maintained by OFAC that is formally known as the "Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons" —usually referred to simply as the "SDN List." The various sanctions programs are authorized by two principal federal statutes—typically either the Trading with the Enemy Act (TWEA) or the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
All U.S. persons—meaning U.S. citizens and permanent residents—must comply with OFAC regulations. This is true regardless of where the U.S. person currently resides. OFAC sanctions programs also apply to all persons and businesses within the U.S., and the foreign branches of U.S. companies. The Cuba sanctions program also applies to foreign subsidiaries that are owned or controlled by U.S. companies (which can create a conflict of laws in some countries, including Canada, that prohibit adherence to the Cuba sanctions programs).
What types of transactions can give rise to a violation of an OFAC sanctions program?
OFAC sanctions programs have a broad reach. Most obviously (and with certain exceptions), a U.S. company cannot engage in financial transactions with, sell goods to, or provide services to anyone on the SDN List or to nationals of the countries that are the subjects of the comprehensive sanctions programs. But not all violations of the OFAC programs are quite so obvious.
The following facts, under certain circumstances and in the absence of a license or other permission, could give rise to a violation of OFAC sanctions programs:
- A U.S. company acquires a European bank that has customers who are Cuban nationals and now is faced with providing banking services in violation of the Cuba sanctions
- A U.S. parent company provides back-office services for its overseas subsidiaries, which may do business with entities or individuals on the SDN list
- A financial institution makes a loan in support of an underlying sale of goods that are shipped on a vessel affiliated with an Iranian shipping company
- Employees of a financial institution "strip" out accurate information in order to disguise transactions involving a Sudanese business
- A food manufacturer sells its products to wholesalers knowing that the products will be sold to Iranian supermarkets
Also, to the extent that a U.S. company restructures its business or reporting lines in order to use a foreign subsidiary or non-U.S. personnel to engage in a transaction that otherwise would be prohibited by sanctions, the company may be liable for facilitation of a prohibited transaction. The sanctions programs are complicated and can be easily overlooked, even by well-intentioned businesses.
