Hits decommissioning Lock and Dam
Now that we have a date that the so-called ``test'' will be run to decide if the New Savannah Bluff Lock and Dam should be decommissioned, as citizens we should get together to stop this tragedy.
Slams candidacy of George W. Bush
To quote Gov. George W. Bush, ``The government ought to trust local folks to make decisions.'' Is this his answer to Dr. Sam Francis (The Chronicle, Nov. 24) whose column recommended the press ask questions about El Cenizo, Texas. He also states the laws and ordinances enacted by the city council is tantamount to treason against the United States. Hila S. Long, Augusta
Rips Braves' Rocker for comments
While I agree in principle that Atlanta Braves pitcher John Rocker has the right to say whatever he wants, and while I agree that he has the right to earn a living, I also have the right not to support his way of living. If he cannot respect those who make his millionaire salary possible, why should I patronize his team? Luis R. Scott, Grovetown

Re the attack on teacher Gail Hendrick: Gloria Smith, Martinez
Fears Russia will ignite World War III
The Russians are relentlessly forging ahead toward the total destruction of the tiny Republic of Chechnya. Thanks to the generosity of the International Monetary Fund, billions of U.S. taxpayer dollars have been funnelled into financing the murderous Russian attacks! This again proves that bombs and missiles triumph over inept and feeble diplomatic efforts and that small countries are prone to subjugation by large, unscrupulous nations. Al Kotras, Augusta
Yeltsin's shocker
The first big news of the new year was Boris Yeltsin's surprising announcement that he was resigning the Russian presidency. Such A move had been long rumored, but it was still a shock when it came.
Ruminates over various topics
No wonder teachers are having such a hard time. Our president says that nine years now make a decade. I wonder what he thinks the ``dec'' denotes? Would he accept nine ones in exchange for a $10 bill? Robert L. Murray Sr., Augusta

It really bothers me when I read a letter like the one from Fran Hall on Dec. 29. Does she have nothing better to do than to downgrade a fire department and its command? Kim Noble, North Augusta
A 2000 tribute!
What a tribute that Augusta area residents were able to put aside concerns about the Y2K bug and terrorism scare talk (in many parts of the country) to come out New Year's Eve for the largest and, many say, the most fun street party in the city's history.
Says Dorsey needs to mature
Rick Dorsey, a fledgling sports columnist, has found a political football to kick around. He should read Cal Thomas's Dec. 28 column and learn how a mature person handles a little verbal flap. The way Mr. Dorsey rushes to the minority side, he is saying they are inferior and they need my help. A good course in ``Logic 101'' would help him. Faber Hance, North Augusta
Hits Corps over oil at Russell Dam
After reading Bill Babb's short opinion article on the pump back turbines at Russell Dam, I agreethat ``750,000 fish killed is a significant number'' contrary to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers report. However, I think that he missed one of the most importent aspects of the pump back and that is the environmental damage due to water contamination by turbine oil. Ted Leavins, Leah
Defends Animal Control chief
Recent comments by Mary Kathleen Blanchard and other letter writers to your publication are wrong about Jim Larmer.
Bashes stand on homosexual rights
In response to the statement in the Dec. 21 editorial: ``If homosexuals are put on an `equal' level with heterosexuals, the former will naturally ask for the same benefits as the latter,'' I am shocked and outraged. Homosexuals are equal to heterosexuals and should be treated as such.
1999's worst quotes
Each year we publish the worst, most biased quotes of the past year, as determined by 44 judges recruited by the press watchdog organization, Media Research Center, headed by L. Brent Bozell.

Most New Year's glitches not Y2K
Call them non-Y2K bugs. Most of the technology snags reported by governments and businesses in the millennium's dawn -- from failed cash machines in Italy to nuclear plant shutdowns in the United States -- had nothing to do with the feared computer glitch.
U.S. markets run smoothly, firms remain on alert
NEW YORK -- Investors were surprised to see the date Jan. 3, 100, on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange Web site Monday morning.

Americans find it's 'business as usual' in Y2K
WASHINGTON -- From Main Street to Wall Street, Americans returned to work Monday, logged onto their computers, checked their e-mail and found that whatever Y2K bug there may have been had largely crept back from whence it came.

Y2K no problem for SRS
Computer experts at Savannah River Site were able to quash the Y2K bug before it even began to bite, reporting two minor glitches that occurred before the new year.
Fighting the abuse
``I've been going out with this guy for about two years, and I want to break up with him because he gets really violent. Sometimes when we fight he slaps me in the face. When I told him I wanted to break up with him, he said he'd commit suicide. I don't know if I should tell my mom and dad because then I'll get in trouble for not telling them he hit me in the first place.'' -- 17-year-old Augusta girl

What is his attitude? Is he still lying? Is he letting you have access to his phone, email, FB, etc?
He's never been fully honest with me about this.
Until this changes, I am sorry, but the answer is no. You can't make it work if he is unwilling or unable to be fully and completely honest with you.
I am sorry you find yourself here.
I try saying things like "we need to discover why you did it so it doesn't happen again. Obviously you weren't happy." But he disagrees. He just thinks we should move on and just know he won't do it again because he feels guilty. But I feel like it's obvious he isn't happy or why else would he contact her again when he hasn't seen her in so long? A month after he proposed?
Should I make him go to counseling (he doesn't want to)? Should we do a trial separation? Or should I simply let this go since she lives in another state? Do you think he will just do this again with another girl?
Your fiance is telling you exactly who he is and you are NOT LISTENING! When someone tells you who they are believe them. He's immature, irresponsible, unfaithful and wanting to remain unfaithful and no amount of wishing and loving him is going to change that. He has to want to change to do so and he doesn't. You want him to change. They are not the same thing.
You mentioned unconditional love in your JFO thread. IMO mature adult love should not be unconditional. Save that for your children. Your romantic partner should be conditionally loved. You need to start loving and respecting yourslf more than you do him. The path you are on is one heading to your own personal destruction. He will just walk away from the fallout in the end and you will be older and more devastated. Listen to the collective wisdom here. Get into IC and start working on your codependency issues.
Why are you trying to fix this for him?
If you don't want to be with a cheater, then get yourself into counseling and find out why it is ok for you to be accepting this behavior from someone. You are not married, you don't have kids with him yet. Now is the time for you to make a change. Get yourself into counseling.
If you can accept the fact that as long as he doesn't fix himself he will more than likely do this again, and you can live with that, then stay.
I'm not sure what else to say, I read the thread on JFO and you recieved a lot of great advice there.
Can relationships recover from infidelity? Absolutely! Can they recover when the wayward dismisses how you feel, refuses to attend counseling and doesn't like talking about the A? Doubtful.
You are not in R with this guy. Go back to your JFO thread. You have not gotten any different responses hear and the fine people in this section do not know your full story.
Stay with us Shanoa. You need to get those rose colored glasses off and get yourself well. Forget about this guy and work on YOU!!!

Getting all your data out of Google webmaster tools is usually very easy. All you need to do is export your data as a CSV or have it opened in a Google Doc. This is as long as you maintain you website properly because you won't have much to export. I'm sorry to say that this is not the case with many websites on the web. Especially if the owner updates the site every now and then, the odds to find a mess reported in Google webmaster tools, just sky rockets. This does not change much even if a "professional" redesigns the site.
Find out the faster and easier way to Download Data from Webmaster Tools by API in a newer post
So now we have access to a sites profile on Webmaster Tools and of course we find hundreds of errors. (As long as you are under 1000 errors you won't have any problem exporting the data) To export this list you will need to use the Webmaters Tools API. A past coworker of mine Mark Ginsberg wrote a post about it on seomoz, Liberating Your Data from Google Webmaster Tools – a Step-by-Step Guide. I myself used this post many times to get information from Webmasters tools, but a few weeks ago when I ran the script I got an error trying to export data of CRAWL_ERRORS, CONTENT_ERRORS, and SOCIAL_ACTIVITY files. I was mainly interested in the error reports so I was disappointed when I only got TOP_PAGES and TOP_QUERIES exported.
I started looking around for a solution for the script but besides more users asking for help with the same problem I was unable to find an update to get the script to run.
So with no working script and thousands of errors I needed to find a different script.
I found a post by karthikeyan Thangavel Getting Crawl Errors Using Google Web Master Tools API with a Java class based on an example provided by Google. I made a bunch of changes to the code mainly so it won't print extra data and to have it save the data to a CSV as well as printing to the console.
For all the Java e-literates I'm providing a step by step guide to get your data out of webmaster tools.
To run Java you need a platform. I went with Eclipse, the one I'm most familiar with. Getting Eclipse up and running can be a big pain, I hope I can get you through it. The guide is for Windows users only.( At the end of the instruction there is a slide show with some images hope it helps)
- Download Eclipse – go for the classic version.
- Extract the folder and put it someplace on your computer (I put it in C) – no installation required.
- Create a short cut on the desktop from the file eclipse.exe purple round logo (be careful it isn't the eclipsec.exe file)
- Download the Java JDK – click on download JDK, you will need to Accept License Agreement before you can download.
- Download gdata – Google Data Java client library (only the first link) and guava Google core libraries for java (only first jar file listed). Extract and put both folders where it's good for you. (I put it in C)
- Run installation for JDK. At the end a web page will open asking you to register, you don't need to register.
- Launching Eclipse can tack some time. As long as a message box dose not pop up saying you are missing something, you are OK. If a message dose come up I'm sorry to say I don't know how to help you solve the problem, it can be one of many different things. Try Google for help.
- You will get a request to Select a workplace – just give them a location that is convenient for you. (slide #3)
- Wait until Eclipse opens.
- Start a new Java project. Go to File >> New >> Java Project (slide #5)
- Give it a name (I named it wmt-error) and click next. (slide #6)
- On the top of the screen you will see 4 tabs, we need the third tab "Libraries".
- On the right choose "Add External JARs…" (slide #7)
- Navigate to the location of gdata you downloaded previously.
- Go to the folder gdata/java/lib/ and choose all the files and press Open at the bottom. (slide #8)
- Repeat step 15 for guava library (only 2 files and they are not in a lib folder). (slide #9)
- Finally click on Finish (if you don't see a screen divided in to 3 and your project name on the top right, just close the welcoming screen)
- Now you need to create a class. Go to File >> New >> Class (slide #10)
- Name the Class "get_error_wmt" (if you name it something else you will get an error when trying to run the code) and click Finish. (slide #11)
- Delete code on the screen and paste the following code.
Java123456789101112131415161718192021222324252627282930313233343536373839404142434445464748495051525354555657585960616263646566676869707172737475767778798081828384858687888990919293949596979899100101102103104105106107108109110111112113114115116117118119120121122123124125126127128129130131132import java.io.BufferedWriter;import java.io.FileNotFoundException;import java.io.FileWriter;import java.io.IOException;import java.io.PrintWriter;import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;import java.net.MalformedURLException;import java.net.URL;import java.net.URLEncoder;import com.google.gdata.client.webmastertools.WebmasterToolsService;import com.google.gdata.data.webmastertools.CrawlIssueEntry;import com.google.gdata.data.webmastertools.CrawlIssuesFeed;import com.google.gdata.util.AuthenticationException;import com.google.gdata.util.ServiceException;/** Class is used for retrieve errors from Google Web master Tools Using API*/public class get_error_wmt {//Make Sure the site name must end with "/"static String SITE = "http://exampule.com/"; // your web site name(e.g:http://www.example.com/)static boolean printFlag = true;// Here We are using feed to get error.

- To make it easier to edit the code we will add row numbers. Select from top bar: Windows >> Preference > > General >> Editors >> Text Editors, check on the "Show line numbers" option. (slide #13)
Now that we have row numbers
- Go to row number 24 and put the address for the site you want to get errors for (must be exactly the same url that appears in webmasters tools and must end with a slash)
- On rows 83 and 84 put in your email address you use to log in to Google and your Password.
- On row 59 you can change the name and path of the file that will be saved.
- Press the right arrow in the green circle from top bar. This will run the project.
Go fix all those errors!
If you did something wrong you will see red text in the console area. If you can't figure out the problem you are invited to post a comment and I'll try to help.
BTW if you run the code for different URLs it won't override the content in the file it will just add them below the content that is already there with a title of Crawl Issues for site: "site url".
This code was written to export only the errors but if you'd like to export other information all you need to do is change the feed. The feed being used is one of the feeds Google provides for webmasters tools use.
The feed can be found on row 29. If you look at row 39 you will see that we add on to the feed address "/crawlissues/" which is unnecessary for the other feeds so don't forget to remove "/crawlissues/" and the following "+" sign.
Good luck with exporting your data!

The process of breaking down the prospective 53-man roster for the 2014 Baltimore Ravens has already begun.
To continue the practice, let's take a look at some of the key positional battles as training camp approaches, and which players have the advantage in each race.
Training camp promises to provide a slew of unpredictable competitions at almost every position.
Who will come out on top?
Third Receiver (Jacoby Jones vs Marlon Brown) – An underrated battle to keep an eye on. With the addition of veteran Steve Smith, the top two on Baltimore's wide receiver depth chart is the former Carolina Panthers, as well as fellow Smith, Torrey.
In three-receiver sets, who else touches the field? As a rookie, Marlon Brown wildly exceeded expectations, catching 49 passes for seven touchdowns and emerging as a reliable red zone threat by season's end.
His competition, veteran Jacoby Jones, entered last season with the reputation of a special teamer with raw and inconsistent receiving skills, but he looked much more aggressive and confident in his receiving game in 2013, and his rapport with quarterback Joe Flacco was obvious.
Both had fairly even roles in Baltimore's pass attack last year, and either wouldn't be too bad of a third option.
Advantage: Jones (a very close edge)
Right Tackle (Ricky Wagner vs Ryan Jensen vs the field) – A few weeks ago, Jensen wasn't even considered an option, as he was a swing guard/center for the team last season. But now, Jensen has entered the race at right tackle, battling the current favorite, Ricky Wagner.
Based on merit after playing sparingly as a rookie, Wagner has the edge over Jensen, who can't be properly evaluated until he finally takes a preseason or regular season snap with the team, neither of which he accomplished last season.
Odds are – whether the addition is a viable starting option or just insurance – the Ravens will also add a veteran tackle before or during training camp.
Advantage: Wagner
Free Safety (Terrence Brooks vs Darian Stewart) – Normally a third round selection would face an uphill battle to win a starting job against an experienced veteran. But in this case, pure talent should prevail.
Stewart does provide value to the team as a diverse safety, but Brooks is the reliable, athletic coverage option the Ravens desperately needed after a full season of Matt Elam and James Ihedigbo on the back end.
Advantage: Brooks
Nose Tackle (Brandon Williams vs Timmy Jernigan) – Baltimore's front seven depth is abundant and nose tackle is far from an exception. After using a third round pick on small school defender Williams in 2013, the Ravens went back to the middle of the trenches to snag Jernigan in the second round this year.
Jernigan may not be a true zero/one technique nose tackle, but that's where he'll play most, and with improved consistency, could be a force for Baltimore. But as of now, Williams is the more developed player, whose playing time was criminally low last season (93 snaps) as his rare combination of strength and athleticism makes him the complete package at the position.
That wasn't more apparent than when the Ravens played the Steelers in Pittsburgh last season, and Williams' uncontested strength was on display. Expect a much bigger role for Williams, someone worthy of a promotion.
Advantage: Williams
Nickel Cornerback (Chykie Brown vs Asa Jackson) – Is "neither" an option? No? Well, I guess one has to have the advantage then. Ideally, the Ravens would benefit from a veteran addition at cornerback to spice up the competition behind starters Jimmy Smith and Lardarius Webb.
But for the time being, the battle for the third/nickel corner role will be a race between two inexperienced defenders in Brown and Jackson.
The younger player, Jackson, has been known more for his multiple suspensions than on-field play through two seasons, as he has yet to record a defensive snap.
Brown, meanwhile, had a minimal role in 2013, but was a mainstay in Baltimore's secondary during the playoff run leading up to the Super Bowl in 2012. He took on a large role in all three pre-Super Bowl games, and while he never stood out per se, he held his own against Denver's pass attack, the toughest assignment he's faced in his young NFL career.
The sample size is larger for Brown, so if the battle indeed comes down to these two contenders, it's easier to buy into Brown with less of the unknown factor that Jackson brings.
Advantage: Brown
Backup Quarterback (Keith Wenning vs Tyrod Taylor) – For a detailed breakdown of why Wenning should ultimately win the job, check here. Long story short, Taylor has had three years to prove himself as a viable backup and hasn't. Worrying about the backup quarterback position is far from a priority for Baltimore's coaching staff, but the intrigue of starting the process of immersing Wenning in the offense will prevail by the beginning of the season, and he'll be the backup for Week 1.
Advantage: Wenning
Keep an eye on the battle for the punter job between Sam Koch and undrafted rookie Richie Leone. No prediction on who wins that battle as of now, though, as dissecting the punter situation hasn't been high on the list of priorities to address…yet.

Alan Doyle died hungry.
It was after midnight on Friday, Dec. 5, 1997, when 16-year-old Doyle and his friends left a heavy-metal concert at the Showcase Theater in Corona and started heading home for nearby Yorba Linda. But first they walked to a fast-food restaurant for a late-night snack. Drive-through service was all that was available at that hour, so the group left empty-handed.
As they headed back to their car, parked near the theater, a group of young men in a car followed, taunting them with shouts of "devil-worshipers must die." Doyle and his friends kept walking, but once they reached the parking lot across from the theater, the car pulled up and an 18-year-old gang member named Peter Gallardo Espinoza jumped out holding a knife. He stabbed Doyle in the stomach.
A few hours later, Doyle died at Riverside General Hospital. Espinoza bragged about the incident to his girlfriend, who eventually told police. Doyle's friends then identified Espinoza as the killer. But by the time Corona police detectives began looking for Espinoza, he had already fled across the border to Mexico, where he has remained for the past seven years.
With the war on terrorism three years old and counting, you might think the U.S.-Mexico border would be the last place to find wanted criminals who are actively being sought by U.S. law-enforcement authorities. You'd be wrong. Since allegedly murdering Doyle, Espinoza has repeatedly crossed the border to visit family members, sources close to the investigation say.
"The police have been counting on Homeland Security to catch him at the border, but it seems like he keeps coming back and forth," said Alan's father, David Doyle. "I guess they're just waiting for him to try to cross again. It's hard to believe seven years have passed and they know where this guy is but can't get him."
Mexico—which has no death penalty—has long refused to extradite to the United States suspected murderers who could face the death penalty if convicted, making Mexico a destination of choice for killers. So prosecutors with the Riverside County district attorney's office considered removing a gang enhancement from Espinoza's murder warrant, which would reduce his potential sentence to life without the possibility of parole. But in October 2001, Mexico also began refusing to extradite suspects who could face such a sentence.
Now, the only way to guarantee suspects such as Espinoza ever face trial is to reduce their possible sentences to 25 years to life in prison, even for crimes as serious as first-degree murder, and begin extradition procedures with Mexico.
Tona Rizzi, Doyle's mother, has become active with a group of relatives of people killed by suspects who, like Espinoza, have fled to Mexico. The group includes the family of slain Los Angeles County Sheriff's Deputy David March, who was shot and killed during a routine traffic stop in April 2002 by Armando Garcia, a drug and weapons dealer who immediately crossed the border. Rizzi wanted to expose Orange County Sheriff Mike Carona and District Attorney Tony Rackauckas to her son's case by inviting them to a rally in Santa Clarita last year.
"Unfortunately, the Orange County sheriff and DA were not really responsive," Rizzi said. "I talked to [Carona's press spokesman Jon] Fleischmann, and he said Carona's schedule was booked months in advance. I couldn't get him to become involved. I didn't even call Tony Rauckackas because I've followed his career and I didn't even want to go there."

To be fair, Carona or Rackauckas would be crossing jurisdictions to get involved in the case. Although Doyle was an Orange County resident, the case is being handled by authorities in LA and Riverside counties.
According to Jan Maurizi of the LA County district attorney's office, Corona police are in the process of seeking the U.S. Justice Department's help in drafting an extradition order for Espinoza that Mexican authorities will honor. "If there's a special circumstance like gang membership or lying in wait that requires the death penalty or life without parole, they'll have to dismiss that," Maurizi said. "Unless he comes back up here on his own accord, that's the only way to get him."
At this point, Rizzi said she's all but given up hope Espinoza will ever be held accountable for murdering her son. "I'm trying not to get my hopes up," she said. "I've come to the realization that nothing will bring my son back. But to save other families from this bullshit, I'll work to keep this issue in the public's eye. If nobody does anything, it'll keep happening."

Rookie Ouellet displays poise in just his third NHL game
Duff: Ouellet provides steadiness to Wings' blue-line
With Brendan Smith and Jonathan Ericsson both slated to return from the injured list in time for Friday's game against the Washington Capitals at Joe Louis Arena, it's expected that Xavier Ouellet's latest venture in the Detroit Red Wings' lineup will be coming to an end, but the rookie defenceman will head back to Grand Rapids of the American Hockey League with much cause to feel good about himself.
"I thought he was really good," Detroit coach Mike Babcock said of Ouellet after Tuesday's 3-2 shootout lost to the Winnipeg Jets. "He makes good decisions with the puck, and doesn't get himself in any trouble."
Called up for the second time this season and skating in just his third National Hockey League game, Ouellet, 20, saw 8:50 of ice time, was even and delivered three hits.
"Ouellet played fantastic for us and we didn't miss a beat," said Wings centre Stephen Weiss, currently out with a groin injury. "That's a testament to how they draft here and take care of their young guys."
Babcock compared Ouellet's poise and calmness to that of another rookie defenceman, teammate Danny DeKeyser, who broke into the Detroit lineup late last season with similar silky smoothness.
"We've got an inexperienced back end in lots of ways because of our youth back there," Babcock said. "DeKeyser's been absolutely unbelievable for us, so it's not necessarily the experience that you have, it's the ability that you have and how intelligent you are.
"Smart players, players with hockey sense, don't tend to make a whole bunch of mistakes, so they don't put a spotlight on them.
"That's what Ouellet seems to do when he plays here."
Ouellet admitted that the faith the team has shown in him so early into his NHL career makes it easier for him to relax and just play when he's on the ice.
"It means a lot," Ouellet said. "It feels pretty good. I don't know really what to say. It's just a good feeling to know the coaches trust you.
"I'm pretty proud of that."

A good way to do it is to send them to a tannery like the one Mr. Daniels operates.

Hi Maomao Mom,
I stumbled upon your website as I was looking for some recipes to cook for my picky eating child. I was delighted to find such a wonderful site with variety of recipes suitable for the whole family! Thanks so much for sharing
I've been trying some recipes and have a question in regards to anka sauce. I've searched many local Chinese supermarkets, but none of them carry anka sauce for some
reason. Is there another ingredient I can substitute with when your recipes call for anka sauce?
Thank you and wishing you a joyful holiday season with your family.

No Glee role for John Barrowman
John Barrowman will not be appearing in Glee in the near future, he has said.
The TV entertainer, who has reprised his role as time-traveller Captain Jack Harkness in Torchwood: Miracle Day, set up a meeting with Glee bosses to discuss the possibility of a cameo, only to find out that his commitment to the BBC One series takes precedence over other TV roles.
"The answer is no. I went and met with the casting people - I instigated that meeting and told them that I love the show and I would be interested," he recalled.
"They said surprisingly they know who I am and they have been following my career. But I'm contracted to Torchwood and to Starz and the BBC, and I can't do any other dramas while I am doing Captain Jack. So it's a no."
John, who had a guest appearance on Desperate Housewives, had been rumoured to play one of Rachel's gay dads.
He is a proud Gleek, telling the Daily Mirror: "I absolutely love the show. What would I play in it? I'm not sure what kind of character I'd like to play, maybe I could be a teacher, you know, another teacher who comes in and helps out."
:: Torchwood: Miracle Day continues on BBC One on Thursdays.

Properties and Benefits of Leek: Though a common garden vegetable, leek (Allium ampeloprasum) is one of the healthiest vegetables in the world. Leek comes from the same family as onions and garlic and, just like its famous relatives, it too boasts more than impressive health benefits. Research suggests that leek contains special compounds that can efficiently prevent gastric and prostate cancer. In addition to this, it is a great vegetable source of vitamin C, possibly the most potent antioxidant-vitamin known to man.
Regular consumption benefits eye and bone health and supports blood coagulation processes. Moreover, leek contributes to cardiovascular health by helping prevent calcium and cholesterol plaques on the inside of artery walls that could restrict normal blood flow and encourage cardiovascular events such as stroke or heart attack. It supports digestion, boosts immunity and helps prevent anemia. Overall, leek is a highly anti-inflammatory vegetable, with a nutritional profile set to prevent chronic disease.
What is the difference between leek and scallions or spring onions? As far as looks are concerned, leek can easily be mistaken for spring onions, also known as scallions. They are both white and green, stick-like vegetables after all. Nevertheless, a quick sniff can distinguish the subtle fragrance of leek from the iconic onion smell. As funny as it may seem, it is not such a bad idea to guide ourselves after our smell.
When purchasing fruits and vegetables, olfaction plays a key role in distinguishing good fruits from spoilt ones and real garden-grown vegetables from no-taste, no-smell, wannabe veggies. Also, leek is usually taller, larger, bulkier-looking than spring onions and much crunchier. Unlike scallions, leek does not have a bulb underground, but preserves a tubular appearance with tightly wrapped white leaves. It also has a milder taste.
How to plant leek. Leek is a truly healthy and low-maintenance vegetable you can successfully grow yourself. A well-drained, fertile patch of garden and deep enough trenches (30-40 cm or 12-15 inches) so the plant gets enough protection from the sun will secure you a beautiful leek yield. Depending on the variety, it can be planted either after the last spring frost for a fall yield or in late autumn, before the first frost, to be harvested the following spring.
Health benefits and nutrition facts of leek. As humble as they may appear, leeks are actually a great source of vitamins A, B6, B9, C, K and a good source of iron, copper and zinc. More important, they are rich in potent antioxidants which contribute immensely to our good health.
About 100 g of leek contains 61 kcal and almost 2 g of dietary fiber, almost no fat and lots of water (83%). This makes ideal if you are struggling to keep you weight and cholesterol levels under control. Fiber is especially healthy because it prevents fat from being absorbed at the intestinal level, reducing blood cholesterol levels and helps relieve constipation and maintain a healthy colon.
But the greatest health value of leeks lies in their high antioxidant content. Leek contains three organosulfur compounds: diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide and allyl propyl disulfide. When the vegetable is crushed or chopped, these compounds are converted into allicin by means of special enzymatic reactions. Allicin is a powerful antiviral, antifungal, antibacterial agent, with potent free radical-scavenging properties. The allicin in leek is the same responsible for the antibiotic-like and antihelmintic (anti-parasitic worms) effects of garlic.
According to research, the organosulfur antioxidant compounds in leek are the ones responsible for the reduction in stomach and prostate cancer risks. Moreover, preliminary research suggests that allicin may inhibit a specific liver enzyme responsible for cholesterol production, reducing cholesterol levels and blood vessel stiffness.
Though further confirmation is sought after, these compounds found naturally in leek, garlic, red garlic and other members of the Allium family appear to reduce blood pressure and prevent the formation of platelet clots. This reduces the overall risks of coronary heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and stroke.
Unfortunately, the allicin in leek is highly unstable, thus having an extremely short lifespan and cooking will most likely destroy other beneficial compounds as well, vitamins included. If consumed fresh, leek can help improve immunity due to its incredibly powerful antiviral and antifungal properties which reduce the frequency, duration and severity of common colds and flue. Moreover, more stable allicin extracts are currently under research for their ability to destroy several antibiotic-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus as well as the Herpes simplex virus.
If you take a look at the nutrition table above, you will notice that leeks are a great source of vitamin C (20%), an incredibly potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Along with vitamin K (39%), they are highly efficient at reducing inflammation, a marker of chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and cancer.
Vitamin K is also essential for bone health and supports essential blood coagulation processes. In addition to this, leek contains generous amounts of vitamin A: 55% of the RDA. This means that regular consumption of leek contributes to healthy eyes and mouth, nose, throat, lungs and stomach mucous membranes.
Leek is also recommended for treating nausea, dry mouth and loss of appetite. It is also an excellent natural diuretic, great if you are dealing with water retention. However, if you have an irritated stomach mucosa, gastritis, ulcer or a sensitivity to Allium vegetables, you might want to stay away from onions, garlic, even leek. As healthy as it may be, if it upsets your stomach, it might be best if you simply substitute it with some other vegetable.
I admit I absolutely love leek, especially since it doesn't bother me like garlic does. My favorite spring vegetable recipe is a simple fresh cow milk cheese, leek and tomato sandwich. But I also have a soft spot for potato leek cream soup with thyme, pepper and a pinch of salt. What is your favorite leek recipe?

WASHINGTON, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- U.S. crude oil supplies fell sharply in the week ending Friday, dropping by 7.7 million barrels to 350.2 million, the Energy Information Administration said.

Usually when they have themed shows like this, they normally air for a full week, and since it's been on two days straight, my guess is yes.
Thanks kara. :up This isn't a show I normally watch, so I'm not familiar with the drill.
I went to their official website and you type your city (or the closest to you since you can only choose US cities) and it gives you a list of different channels and time that it airs. So even for 1 city it airs on more than 1 channelQuote:

The Legend of Zelda review, a puzzle game
The 3DS-exclusive The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds puts an artful spin on the popular game franchise.
Here, Nintendo's fantasy-action hero Link can turn into a painting to explore caverns, dungeons and forests as a movable art object on the wall. Link's primary weapon is still a sword, but with the ability to transform into a stenciled image of himself, the mood of the game shifts. Never before has a Zelda title felt as much like a puzzle game, as dungeons exist less to be raided than solved.
Though meant as a sequel to 1992's A Link to the Past, the new game works as a nostalgia-eschewing stand-alone title. The kingdom and the princess are in peril, but Nintendo often uses story more as a device than a necessity. The game is all about giving players gadgets from a rod that sends Link spinning into the air to a switch-flipping boomerang and finding places where they can be used.
Perhaps the game's greatest asset is pace. A dungeon may need one or two go-rounds, but there's no strict order in completing them. If you simply want to wander the kingdom and chat with a helpful witch or a magical beast who lost her children, feel free to do so.
There are multiple little stories for players to discover in the game, and it's not uncommon to be stuck on one puzzle for 30 to 60 minutes. Players will have to think themselves out of a fix rather than slash their way out.
RATING E for Everyone
PLOT Link turns himself into a painting as he enters new dimensions.
DETAILS Nintendo 3DS, $39.99
BOTTOM LINE A work of art

Well said.
'08-'09 is legit guaranteed though.
Here was what the Rockets lineup would be heading into the '09 post-season
PG: Aaron Brooks/Kyle Lowry
SG: Ron Artest/Von Wafer
SF: LeBron James/Shane Battier
PF: Luis Scola/Chuck Hayes
C: Yao Ming/Dikembe Mutombo
Of course Tmac didn't play in that post-season due to a bruised va
ina....as usual. The Rockets still managed to get past the 1st round without him. That Must be a coincidence that the Rockets got past the 1st round without Tmac but were never able to get past it with him during those seasons
I mean really, that is a legit super team. That would be a better team than the current Miami Heat in my opinion as well.
Three elite perimeter defenders in Artest, LeBron, and Battier on that team and an elite defensive anchor down in the paint with Yao Ming and with Dikembe Mutombo backing him up in the middle?
Seriously, game over.

If you have spent any time developing with Magento I expect that like me you have found a number of tasks you find yourself repeating many many times. While developing new modules or themes there are many times when you need to clear the Magento cache or even disable it completely. Now of course you can log into the admin system and carry out these actions but have you every thought there must be an easier way?
Many development frameworks or other open source projects have tool that can be used by developers to issue commands quickly and easily. Magento however does not have any built in tools to improve the development workflow. This is where MageTool fits in!
How can MageTool help? Well hopefully in a number of ways. MageTool extends the existing Zend Framework command line tool zf, adding new commands that are specific to Magento development workflow. Rather then navigating the Magento admin system to clear cache or the enable or disable caching you can issue a simple command in your terminal window and achieve the same results. You can also modify the Magento configuration quickly or issue commands that will selectively update many configuration values.
In my standard development practices I maintain a number of Magento installs on different servers. These are used for Development, Staging and UAT each using different domains to access the stores. This means however that I often need to move databases between servers, resulting in the 'base_url' configuration being incorrect. This can be easily updated if you have database access and is fairly simple if you only have a couple of sites setup. However if you have more sites setup this can become very very difficult to maintain and calls into question the idea of working with many environment servers during development.
MageTool can help again in any situation where you need to move a Magento install and then update the 'base_url' configuration. You can construct a command that will quickly and easily update all URLs in the Magento config.
First install ZF:
1 2
Then install MageTool:
1 2
Once you have installed ZF and MageTool you will need to create configuration for your user by creating the following file:
Add the following lines to load the additional MageTool commands making them available to zf:
1 2
After the install has completed successfully if you run zf you will see the additional commands available for Magento.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
Example Usage
To clear the entire Magento cache simply run the following command from within the Magento project root directory:
To disable the entire Magento cache:
Core Config
MageTool provides commands to show existing configuration values and to set their values. It also has an additional command that can be used to perform a str_replace on the config values. This can be used if you have moved the database from another server with a different domain to update the config values in a single command:
This will update all the config value that include the string "www.current-domain.com" and substitute it for "shop.new-domain.co.uk". This can also be further refined to only affect specific config paths or scopes.
Core Resource
During the development of a new extension you sometimes need to remove the resource from the internal registry to force it to re-run the install scripts. MageTool can help you first see which versions of each extensions are installed:
You can also remove specific entries:
Admin User
If you inherit a Magento project you may need to create a new admin user to gain access to the system. MageTool can list existing admin users and email addresses or it can create a new user for you to use.
I plan to add additional functionality to create skeleton files for new extensions or themes, removing the repetitive creation of directories and configuration files when creating new extension.
If you have additional suggestions please let me know or alternatively you can fork the MageTool project on github and add the commands before sending me a pull request.
Feedback and Bugs
If you have any problems using MageTool or if you have any feedback or suggestions please submit them here.

BONSALL--A man was electrocuted early Thursday morning while apparently trying to steal copper power lines, authorities said.
Sheriff's deputies responding to a call of downed power lines in the 6100 block of Highway 76 shortly after 1 a.m. found a ladder propped against a roadside utility pole, scattered tools and two cut power lines, Sgt. James Bovet said.
Once San Diego Gas and Electric Co. employees turned off the power, deputies found a man lying on the ground in contact with a power line, Bovet said. Fire paramedics, initially responding to the downed line, pronounced the man dead.
Bovet said the county medical examiner's office later determined the man, who was not identified Thursday, had been electrocuted. An accomplice probably cut the wire and the second man died catching it or picking it up, Bovet said.
The incident left 14 households without power until 1:40 p.m.Thursday , SDG&E spokeswoman Rachel Laing said.


text: [xfloat=left]http://www.wiichat.com/robry/crusin.jpg[/xfloat]The Nintendo Wii will play host to an exclusive classic arcade title, Cruis'n which is due out this November. You may remember Cruis'n USA and Cruis'n World which were released both in the Arcade and on the N64. They didn't exactly receive rave reviews either, at the time the official Nintendo Magazine gave the former one of there lowest scores ever! So then, this new installment called Cruis'n right now will hopefully be a step in the right direction for the franchise. Details on the game are slim although Midway did mention to IGN (who may we add broke the news) that you'll be able to pick from an impressive lineup of cars which will be raced on twelve street circuits. The Wii remote will play a part in the way you control the game and there will be the option to upgrade your vehicles with body kits, turbos, neon displays and plenty of other things. More on the title as we get it.

Clinton visits school massacre scene
Officials say Mr Clinton's visit is very much a personal one
By Rob Watson in Washington
President Clinton is due to visit Littleton, Colorado on Thursday, the scene of last month's high school shootings, in which 15 people died.
White House officials say he will meet pupils from the school, and their families, and will tell them the nation as a whole is grieving for Littleton.
They say the president will also express his admiration for the resilience Littleton in general, and the school in particular, has shown in the wake of the killings.
'Personal' visit
That said, there is little doubting the profound effect the killings have had on America's political landscape, and more specifically on the issues of juvenile violence and gun control.
Over the last few days the Senate has approved measures which, if finally passed into law, would make child locks on guns compulsory, ban the import of high capacity ammunition clips and increase the checks on people seeking to buy guns.
Such measures would have been unthinkable before the Littleton shootings and reflect a change of heart from Republican Senators who fear being cast as tools of the pro-gun lobby.

TUCSON, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Arizona investigators said they turned the photos accused Tucson gunman Jared Loughner left at a Walgreens over to the FBI.
The images reportedly show Loughner clad in a bright red g-string and posing with the handgun he allegedly used to gun down six people and injure 13 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., outside a Tucson supermarket last weekend.
The Pima County Sheriff's Office told ABC News the photos were on a roll of film Loughner dropped off at Walgreens for processing the night before the Jan. 8 shootings.
ABC said Saturday the photos were part of a timeline the FBI and local investigators have been putting together of Loughner's actions leading up to the shooting spree.
Loughner remained in custody Saturday pending further court proceedings while Giffords continued her recovery from a head wound at the University of Arizona Medical Center.
