If you're anything like me, you hate cutesy rhyming phrases and made-up words like "locavore." So you'll excuse me for using just such a phrase here.
"What grows together goes together." As cornball an expression as it might be, this is the basis for so many classic dishes and food and wine pairings. Tomatoes and basil grow together – sometimes literally in the same garden plot or pot – and what could be more delicious than a pizza margherita, featuring crushed San Marzano tomatoes and whole basil leaves? Bonito and kelp both come from the sea, and together underpin much of Japan's cuisine. Etcetera, etcetera.
The other night, passing through Whole Foods, I picked up a leg of lamb without thinking too much about what I was going to do with it. Once I got home, I canvassed the pantry. Eggplant and garlic, potato and green beans, all from the farm stand. Out in the garden, I found parsley, thyme, and mint. These are all favorite flavors in Greece, where tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant, all members of the nightshade family (Solanaceae), grow together, and wild herbs like thyme, mint, and oregano flourish. These complement the smaller foraging animals like sheep and goats, who are better suited to Greece's arid, rocky interior than cattle or pigs. What grows together goes together.
This dish reflects the classic tastes of Greece – the lamb, rolled tightly with herbs, is roasted to a medium rare, and served atop a lemony eggplant purée using the ingredients in the classic roasted eggplant salad (melitzanosalata). The potatoes, zucchini, and green beans are loosely inspired by a classic Greek vegetable dish, fasolakia freska (literally "fresh green beans"), but cooked quickly in the lamb's fat and dressed with herbs rather than stewing with tomatoes.
Roast leg of lamb, eggplant purée "melitzanosalata," vegetable sauté "fasolakia freska"
For the lamb:
4 lb leg of lamb, boned, or 2 lb boned out leg of lamb
4 cloves garlic confit
small bunch flat-leaf parsley
about 12 sprigs thyme
about 1/2 c mint leaves
zest of one lemon
olive oil
1/4 c unsalted butter
4-6 sprigs thyme
275F/135C oven
If the lamb is on the bone, remove the bone. Once boned, follow the natural separation between the muscles (you will see membranes and ligaments), and, using the tip of a knife, split the muscles along these separations to open up the leg. Season the leg with salt.
Wash the herbs and dry thoroughly. Mince the herbs (reserving the final 4-6 sprigs of thyme), and combine with the garlic confit, lemon zest, and about 1 tbsp olive oil. Spread this mixture evenly on the surface of the lamb. Roll evenly and tie tightly with butcher's twine. [Note: if you are not skilled at tying meat, you may find this product useful – silicone bands that are heatsafe for roasting.]
Season the exterior of the roast. Place a large skillet over high heat and, when hot, add about 1 tbsp olive oil. Brown well on each side and, after roasting the final side, add the butter to the pan as well as the remaining thyme sprigs. Place in the 275F oven.
Baste the roast every 10 minutes with the butter-thyme. Roast until medium rare – the time will vary based on thickness but it should take between 35 and 45 minutes. Rest on a rack for about 25 minutes before carving. Pour off the fat and liquid, and reserve the fat for the vegetable sauté.
When ready to serve, slice the lamb about 1/2″ thick and remove the butcher's twine.
Eggplant purée
You can prepare this while the lamb rests. It comes together in an instant.
2 medium eggplant, preferably longer and thinner eggplant, halved lengthwise
sea salt
olive oil
8 cloves garlic confit
Juice of one lemon
2 tbsp Greek yoghurt (or any unsweetened yogurt)
Turn the broiler on.
Drizzle the cut surface of the eggplant with oil and sprinkle with salt. Place skin-side down on a sheet pan under the broiler. Once the eggplant begins to turn dark brown, turn the eggplant over and reduce the heat to 425F. You also can perform this step on a grill, which adds a better smoky flavor.
Once the eggplant is tender (usually about 15 minutes), remove from the oven and peel off the blackened outer layer (don't worry if you don't get it all) Scrape the soft eggplant into a Vitaprep or blender, trying to avoid putting the seeds into the blender if possible. Add the garlic confit, the yoghurt, and about 2 tbsp lemon juice. Purée until very smooth, and then taste for salt and lemon juice. Add as necessary.
Vegetable sauté "fasolakia freska"
You can prepare this as well while the lamb rests. In fact, you can use the skillet in which you roasted the lamb.
2-3 red or yellow potatoes (about 1/2 lb), peeled and diced 1/4″
about a dozen green beans or 24 haricots verts, trimmed and sliced 1/4″
one large or two small zucchini, peeled and diced 1/4″
1 1/2 tbsp reserved fat from the roast lamb, or olive oil
1/4 c mint leaves, washed and dried
4-6 large flat parsley leaves, washed and dried
Place a large skillet over medium-high heat (you can use the skillet in which the lamb roasted). When hot, add the lamb fat or the olive oil, or some combination of the two.
Add the diced potatoes to the pan and sauté until beginning to turn golden and not quite tender (about 3 minutes). Add the green beans and sauté a minute more until the potatoes are nearly tender. Add the zucchini and cook until the potatoes are tender and the zucchini still have some bite. Season with salt and pepper and toss with chiffonade of the parsley and mint.
Putting it all together: place some eggplant purée on the plate and arrange slices of lamb on top. Serve with the vegetable sauté and drizzle olive oil on the plate.

The old joke about Playboy magazine was that guys read it "for the articles." Football atheists and movie geeks have their own version: They watch the Super Bowl "for the commercials."
All kidding aside, there's a reason companies and studios shell out millions to snag a few coveted minutes in between game action. No matter what their reason, people are watching.
Predicting which blockbusters will make their bow during the game is almost as much fun as predicting who will be representing the AFC and the NFC. Well, The Hollywood Reporter got its hands on the list of Super Bowl Trailers, and it's certainly got enough to satisfy everyone.
U.S. & World
Get ready to set that DVR (or, if you're truly a conscientious objector, get ready to Google search the morning after) because here's your primer on the tentpole movies of 2011 that are either making their debut or debuting more in-depth trailers:
Super 8: The super hush-hush alien project from J.J. Abrams ("Star Trek") and Steven Spielberg (we'll assume you know at least one of his movies). Like the Abrams-produced "Cloverfield," story details are sketchy, but rumors claim it takes place in the 40s or 50s and involves something escaping from Area 51.
Transformers: Dark of the Moon: The third installment in Michael Bay's Hasbro toy-inspired franchise, this sees the return of Shia LaBeouf but the departure of Megan Fox. Taking her spot as the way-out-of-Shia's-league love interest is former Victoria's Secret model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. This time around, the action flashes back to America's first moon landing in 1969. Turns out Apollo 11 may have encountered some Decepticons...
Thor: Before Marvel Entertainment can unleash its superhero all-star team The Avengers, they need to fill the roster up. First out of the gate will be the Norse God of Thunder. Although Thor is played by relative newcomer Chris Hemsworth, director Kenneth Branagh has surrounded him with some hefty names like Anthony Hopkins (as Thor's father, Odin, who is the Norse equivalent of Zeus), Natalie Portman (as Thor's Earth-bound love interest, Dr. Jane Foster), and Stellan Skarsgaard (as a scientist).
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides: Essentially a Jack Sparrow spin-off movie, the fourth entry in Jerry Bruckheimer's swashbuckling adventure series finds the bumbling, mascara-caked pirate hot on the trail of the Fountain of Youth. Hot on his trail is the evil pirate Blackbeard, played by "Deadwood" star Ian McShane, and a mysterious femme fatale (Penelope Cruz).
Cowboys & Aliens: "Iron Man" director Jon Favreau directs this obscure comic adaptation that's about, well, exactly what the title says. A western sci-fi mash-up, this movie boasts the most intriguing cast of the summer, hands-down. Check this out: Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano, Keith Carradine, and Clancy Brown. Yeah. Our thoughts exactly.
Limitless: "The Hangover" star Bradley Cooper is a copywriter who volunteers to be a guinea pig for a top-secret drug meant to enhance a person's mental capabilities. At first, it's amazing. Then...not so much. Robert De Niro and Abbie Cornish ("Stop Loss") co-star.
Just Go With It: A romantic comedy of errors starring Adam Sandler and Jennifer Aniston, "Just Go With It" is about a man who likes to use a fake wedding band to score women. When one such hook-up goes spectacularly well, he has to scramble to come up with a fake ex-wife rather than explain his ruse. Because simple solutions have no place in rom-coms, sir.
Battle: Los Angeles: Described as "Black Hawk Down" meets "Independence Day," this gritty action flick takes a grunt's-eye view of an alien invasion. Aaron Eckhart, Michelle Rodriguez, and Bridget Moynahan star.
Captain America: The First Avenger: A few months after Thor makes his bow, the "First Avenger" arrives. Set during World War II, "Captain America" stars Chris Evans as a scrawny Brooklyn kid (clearly, CGI will be used) who wants desperately to enlist in the army. When he's refused, he volunteers to undergo an experimental treatment that turns him into a buff "super soldier." Hugo Weaving plays the main villain - an ex-Nazi called The Red Skull. And yes, his head is a red skull. It's not just a scary nickname.
Priest: Paul Bettany ("The Da Vinci Code") stars in this comic book adaptation about a post-apocalyptic world where the church rules all and warrior priests uphold the law. Oh, and there's vampires. When one of the blood-suckers kidnaps his niece, a former Priest goes on a rescue mission.
The Eagle: Originally called "The Eagle of the Ninth," this historical epic tells the story of a Roman soldier (Channing Tatum) who embarks on a mission to retrieve the Eagle standard of Rome's legendary Ninth Legion, which was believed lost along with the entire legion after they ventured beyond Hadrian's Wall and were (allegedly) wiped out by the savage Pict tribes.
Rango: Johnny Depp voices a chameleon who ventures out into the Old West in search of adventure. Yes, it is animated. And yes, we did have to look that up to make sure. You just never know with Depp. If anyone would squeeze himself into a chameleon suit, it'd be him...
Kung Fu Panda 2: Jack Black returns to voice the lovable chubby martial artist. This time, he has to team up with a whole new band of masters to take down an old enemy. An all-star cast (Angelina Jolie, Gary Oldman, Seth Rogen, Jackie Chan, Michelle Yeoh, Lucy Liu, Dustin Hoffman, David Cross, and Jean Claude Van Damme) are along for the ride.
Take Me Home Tonight: Unfortunately, this is NOT the Eddie Money biopic we've been hoping for. Oh, well, we'll just have to keep up our letter-writing campaign. "Take Me Home Tonight" is an 80s-set drugs and sex romp starring Topher Grace ("Predators"), Anna Faris ("Scary Movie"), Teresa Palmer ("The Sorcerer's Apprentice"), and Dan Fogler ("Good Luck Chuck").
The Super Bowl airs live February 6, 2011.

Cherry Almond Shortbread Heart Cookies | Valentine's Day Cookies
This is my first time making shortbread cookies. I had never really had much interest... as you know, Sugar Cookies are my specialty. I thought, what could be better than a Sugar Cookie? After mowing through a box of Girl Scout Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies, I got addicted to that crumbly, sandy texture of shortbread. Combine that with, Valentine's Day and a craving for the Cherry Almond Cupcakes I made last Spring... boom, Cherry Almond Shortbread Heart Cookies are born!
These not to sweet, crumbly, buttery, sophisticated cookies are the perfect Adult cookie. They have a delicate texture and flavor that overly decadent cookies (think double chocolate chunk...) can't match. The addition of dried cherries gives a touch or red and tartness that is magical! And like most good things in life, they are simple. Only a couple of ingredients. No leavening, no eggs. Just a classic and simple cookie.
Package these in cellophane bags (you can buy here in my online store) with a ribbon and give them to your lady friends or serve them with coffee for dessert at your next bridge party. They are 'that' kind of cookie.
Cherry Almond Shortbread
classic cookies with a cherry twist
3/4 pound unsalted butter, room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon almond extract
3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 cups small diced dried cherries
In a mixer, cream together butter and sugar for 3 minutes. Add vanilla and almond. Slowly stir in flour and salt. Mix until mixture begins to come together into a ball. Add diced cherries. Dump the mixture onto a floured surface and form into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for 20 minutes (if you have time).
Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch (I like them thick) and cut into shapes. Bake at 350 degrees on a silpat lined baking sheet for 18-20 minutes, until the edges brown just slightly.

|Patricia Thompson, owner of Children's Orchards in Sterling Heights checks out the merchandise in her store.
My daughter frowns at the runway shots I have of her as an infant - decked out in frilly dresses, ruffled bloomers and a bonnet of some kind - but she always looked cute. I can't tell you how many times another mum would ask me where she could find such an outfit. I'll admit, some of the pieces were purchased at shops such as Gymboree and Little Lords Little Ladies, but a great many others were discovered in resale shops.
Whenever I ventured across the border to visit my family in Canada, I would make a point of visiting this quaint little shop near my favorite coffee house. One of the mums who supplied items for the store had twin girls - a bit older than my daughter - and it is her clothes that I would seek. Like me, she loved Beatrix Potter and Winnie-the-Pooh. Thanks to her, I would find all sorts of cute Peter Rabbit rompers or Winnie-the-Pooh sleepers and tees. Since she had twins, I loved that there was two of everything.
What made this shop such a success, however, was not that it carried a huge stock of designer labels, but that its owner scrutinized what she would buy and sell. You never had to worry about zippers not working or discovering a stain that you didn't see under the shop's dim lights.
In Michigan, a lot of mums have the same experience at Children's Orchard. The upscale resale shop was first started in 1980, and because of its success became a franchise.
"I've been with Children's Orchard since 1999," said Patricia Thompson, who owns a franchise in Sterling Heights. "My sister told me about the franchise in Ann Arbor and I thought it was a great idea. My husband and I owned a Little Caesars franchise in Virginia 15 years ago. We were looking to move back to Michigan. I thought this would be a good adventure." Thompson is still in business and 13 years later is enjoying every minute of it.
"They have a very good system in place," Thompson said of the process by which Children's Orchard obtains its clothing, furniture and toys. "There's a reason it has been around for 40 years."
Thompson chooses products for her store the same way parents should when buying items that are gently used.
Not all shops follow the same system, which is why Thompson advises parents to consider the following tips when shopping at any children's resale shop:
Do a thorough inspection
Make sure you inspect clothing for holes and stains. Thompson has special lights that she uses to inspect clothes and often finds stains that might not appear under normal lighting at home. Ask about the store's inspection process.
Stay in touch
One of the reasons I was successful was I stopped by my favorite shop regularly. Some days there was nothing, others a bonanza. Also, despite already deeply discounted prices, Thompson said resale and consignment stores often hold generous promotions during the summer season. "We have a promotion coming up June 1 where we give them a bag and they can fill it for $5, and another sale in July where all of our 12-months and under clothes are $1."
Stay abreast of recalls
When it comes to such items as cribs, strollers and high chairs, parents need to be sure that the product is safe. Ask the seller about how they stay up-to-date on recalls, said Thompson. "Since most items at resale stores do not come with their original packaging, it is up to consumers to make sure they are not purchasing faulty equipment. You can also look up recalled items on the Consumer Product and Safety Commission (CPSC) website: www.csps.gov/en/Recalls.
Get into the game
Got clothes that no longer fit your little one? "Some stores will actually give you cash for your kid's gently-used clothing, toys, furniture and accessories," Thompson said. "Call ahead for information on what your local resale store is buying (or in need of). Some stores will set up a 1-on-1 appointment with the buyer and others allow you to walk in at your convenience to sell your outgrown kid's stuff."
Designer labels
Most upscale stores such as Children's Orchards receive new inventory daily so shoppers should be able to find current styles by designers like Ralph Lauren and Calvin Klein.
Even if you don't find the clothes you're looking for, it is a great place to visit and you never know what other treasures might find.
"I've been here 13 years and I've seen mothers who came in with their newborns, who are now 13 years old," Thompson said.
Children's Orchards is located at 44915 Hayes Road, Sterling Heights. For more information or to make an appointment, call 586-532-8280 or visit www.childrensorchard.com.

Bill Weir explores Colorado River on CNN
CNN's Bill Weir explores the Colorado River on season 2 of "The Wonder List" airing Sunday, April 3. It's a personal, heartfelt project on Weir's part.
His focus is the troubling intersection of two trends: populations are increasing while waters are receding. Interestingly, he's framed his report as an ode to his father.
"This one's for him … and the 40 million people who depend on the Colorado River to survive," he narrates.

Doane's Boswell Observatory to be Open Commencement Weekend
Doane's historic Boswell Observatory will be open to the public Friday, May 12 of Commencement weekend. From 8:30-10 p.m., viewers can use the historic telescope for sky viewing, with Dr. Mark Plano Clark, associate professor of physics and astronomer, as their guide. Built in 1883 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, Boswell Observatory still retains its original 8-inch equatorial refractor telescope. The building's sheet-metal covered dome is mounted on rollers and revolves 360 degrees to provide horizon-to-horizon viewing. Guests are also welcome to view Boswell's mini-museum, with its vintage engineering instruments relating to 19th and early 20th century astronomy, weather-recording, and surveying. Many items in the collection were used by college founder Thomas Doane when he built the Burlington and Missouri River rail line across Nebraska. Should inclement weather cancel the sky-viewing, the building will still be open to the public.

We're back for Season 3 of the beginners SP Animation Competition! In previous competitions we've seen some very interesting and unique designs for weapons come from the creative minds of the artists participating. Inspired by those, we want to do an entire competition dedicated to Unconventional Weapons! This is a wide open concept to explore: think up some unique ideas for weapons that no one else would come up with. You must come up with at least two, and as long as you're involving these unconventional weapons the rest is up to you! Think you're inventive enough for the challenge?
We would like all entrants to make a thread in the Works In Progress forum and keep it updated with your progress as you animate your submission. Doing this is not a requirement but we will be granting bonus points to those that keep their thread up to date, so make sure you make your thread to collect those points! Here are some past examples of the kind of thread we want you to make:
- Evangelion - 1st Place (Pro) Film Tribute Competition - exceld
- Gurren-Lagann - 3rd Place (Pro) Film Tribute Competition - Irian
- The Hobbit 3 - 1st Place (Intermediate) Film Tribute Competition - Barthimo1
- Super Mario - 2nd Place (Pro) Game Tribute Legion 2 - Syrius
- Metal Stick Rising - 3rd Place (Pro) Game Tribute Legion 2 - Xrebellion
Note: This competition is intended for beginners only. If you can make a better animation than this, you should join one of our main competitions instead. Otherwise, feel free to join in!
Entry Scoring
Submissions will be scored on the following criteria:
- Animation - Demonstration of technical animation skill. Things such as timing, rhythm, arcs, squash, stretch, etc. will all be taken into account.
- Art - How well you can draw. We'll look at things like design, detail, coloring, outlines, etc.
- Length - We require a minimum of 60 seconds, but it doesn't have to be exactly 60 seconds. A longer animation is better as long as the quality doesn't suffer because of it.
- Originality - We're looking for entrants to try new things! The more you set yourself apart the better.
- Posted in Competition Thread
- Created WIP Thread
- Kept WIP Thread Updated
The animation itself accounts for the majority of total possible points, but final ranking is not determined solely by how good your animation is.
Competition Begins
The competition officially commences, entries can be submitted any time after this.
Deadine - Judging Begins
Submit by this date! Judging starts this day!
Absolute Deadline
This is the latest you can submit and still have your submission scored!
Judging Ends - Winners Posted
The judges will submit their scores by this date, with winners being posted shortly after!
How To Enter
To enter the competition all you need to do is reply to this thread stating what your weapon ideas are. After posting, make your progress thread in the Works in Progress section.

We will accept submissions and announce the winners according to the timeline above. We will be releasing the submitted animations on a weekly schedule after the competitions ends, so remember not to leak your entry anywhere until two days after it goes up on official StickPage channels!

- Credits & introductions should not be excessively long, we will not accept submissions that have more credits than animation
- Must contain a minimum of 60 seconds of animation excluding any introductions or credits

- Cursing - StickPage is frequented by a diverse range of people of various ages and cultures, and as such we tend to air on the side of caution when it comes to a controversial subject like whether or not swear words are appropriate. We would rather you avoid swearing completely within an animation.
- Extreme Gore - In the past some talented animators have gone a little overboard with their graphic depiction of violence and gore in their animation, and it left some viewers feeling uncomfortable. To avoid upsetting our viewers we may ask you to tone down some gore if it's too much. This is only in very specific circumstances where the depiction is realistic enough to affect viewers. Your average stick figure cartoon violence is still perfectly fine!

Activists unfurled a large banner saying "Overfishing Starts Here" at the facility where massive industrial fishing boats destined to fish across the globe's oceans are built.The peaceful protest coincides with the Save Our Oceans East Asia Tour in which the Greenpeace ship MY Esperanza is in Taiwan, raising awareness of the impacts of overfishing on the oceans and the communities dependent on them."Our oceans and the billions dependent on them for food and jobs need fewer massive boats and more fish. The Taiwanese government is cheating international agreements and Greenpeace is taking peaceful action today to demand it adhere to scientific advice and help end overfishing," said Yu Fen Kao, Greenpeace East Asia senior oceans campaigner."In the end, it is the small-scale fishing communities and the people of Taiwan that will suffer most from empty oceans and collapsed fish populations."Taiwan's Fisheries Agency (FA) had agreed in 2008 to follow the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission's advice to reduce fishing effort by limiting the number of fishing days for its purse-seine tuna fleets (1).The regulation is meant to allow Pacific tuna stocks to recover from overfishing, as three of the four main tuna species are already threatened with commercial extinction, according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) (2).Instead, the FA has sidestepped the regulation and is allowing its industry to build bigger ships with larger storage capacity, directly undermining efforts to rescue tuna populations.Taiwan's Fisheries Agency approved 22 new big purse seine ships between 2007 to 2012. And the total new purse seine tonnage is 38,988 tons (3).
Taiwan's distant water fishing fleet mainly operates in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean, home to more than 60 percent of the world's tuna. Taiwan has the most fishing vessels in the region – 72 purse seiners and 1,600 long liners (4). In addition, half of the US purse seiners are owned and operated by Taiwanese companies.Other fishing powers currently building more industrial-scale fishing boats include France, Spain, China and South Korea."We have too many boats in our oceans chasing too few fish. Government and business leaders must end the madness and stop building these gigantic boats from fishing the industry out of existence," said Sari Tolvanen, Greenpeace International oceans campaigner."We need action from consumers, who will refuse to no longer buy fish from companies that are adding more unsustainable fishing capacity into our oceans and instead demand fish for the future."Greenpeace is campaigning for responsible fishery management to end overfishing and to support a global network of marine reserves covering 40% of the world's oceans. Both are necessary steps to restoring our oceans to health and to maintain living oceans and ample fish for future generations.

On April 24, the FDA proposed a new rule(s3.amazonaws.com) that would extend its authority to regulate tobacco products. Specifically, the agency would "deem" currently unregulated products, including electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), cigars, pipe tobacco, nicotine gels, waterpipe (or hookah) tobacco, and dissolvables, as meeting the statutory definition of "tobacco product," therefore rendering them subject to FDA regulatory authority under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act.
It's a move the AAFP fully intends to carefully evaluate and offer comments on.
In an April 24 conference call about the new rule, Mitch Zeller, J.D., director of the FDA's Center for Tobacco Products, said, "Products that didn't exist a decade ago are now being used by youth and young adults alike. Between 2000 and 2011, use of non-cigarette combustible products increased 123 percent. Between 2011 and 2012, e-cigarette use doubled in popularity amongst middle-school and high-school-age students. A deeming final rule will help FDA keep pace with this rapidly evolving landscape."
The proposed rule would extend the FDA's authority under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act that President Obama signed in 2009, which allowed the agency to regulate the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of cigarettes, cigarette tobacco, roll-your-own tobacco and smokeless tobacco.
Story highlights
- The FDA has proposed a new rule that would extend its authority to regulate tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes), cigars, pipe tobacco and other currently unregulated products.
- Some elements were not addressed in the proposed rule, including regulating flavoring of e-cigarettes and cigars, marketing to kids, and self-service displays.
- The proposed rule will be available for public comment for 75 days.
Manufacturers of products deemed to be tobacco products in accordance with the proposed rule would be required to:
- register products with the FDA and report ingredients,
- market new tobacco products only after FDA review,
- make no direct or implied claims of reduced risk unless the FDA confirms that scientific evidence supports the claim and that marketing the product will benefit public health, and
- not distribute free samples.
Minimum age and identification restrictions would also be required to prevent sales to underage youth, and no vending machine sales would be permitted, unless the machines are located in facilities that do not admit youth.
Proposed Rule Doesn't Cover Everything
Even though the proposed rule is a significant move toward further limiting tobacco use in the United States, according to some stakeholders, there are regulatory elements it does not address.
Sen. Richard Durbin, D-Ill., who has repeatedly called for federal regulation of e-cigarettes, contends that the FDA's proposed restrictions on those and other currently unregulated tobacco products do not do enough to protect kids.
"Faced with a responsibility to protect our children from an addiction to a product that can harm them, the FDA strained to create a political compromise," Durbin said in an April 24 statement(www.durbin.senate.gov).
"Prohibiting sales to kids -- but doing nothing to protect children from candy-flavored marketing in children's venues -- is an awful outcome."
Zeller addressed the issue of regulating tobacco flavoring during the conference call, saying, "We are very aware of the concerns about the presence of flavors that may be particularly attractive to kids. You will see in the preamble (of the proposed rule), all of the questions that we pose about flavors, that we are looking for more information in response to, and to better understand flavors in both currently regulated products and unregulated products."
Gerie Voss, of the FDA tobacco center's office of regulations also spoke during the call, noting that, "FDA is also not proposing to categorically ban flavors of newly deemed products. In order to do this, FDA must issue, through the rulemaking process, a tobacco product standard under section 907 of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.
"FDA is currently assessing available research regarding the impact of flavors on tobacco product use and is funding research on this issue."
Regarding the regulation of marketing deemed tobacco products to youth, Voss said, "Once a tobacco product is deemed, the law's general prohibition on false and misleading promotion will apply, as well as the prohibition on unauthorized use of modified risk claims.
"In addition, FDA may put in place restrictions on the sale and distribution of those products, including further specific advertising and promotion restrictions. These restrictions will require separate rulemaking and comment."
During the Q&A portion of the FDA call, Dennis Henigan, director of policy analysis and research for the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids, asked why restrictions are proposed on vending machines but not on self-service displays of deemed tobacco products. This would continue to allow cigars and e-cigarette displays to be placed anywhere in the store, including next to the candy aisle, he said.
Noting that confusion around this issue continues, Zeller responded by saying, "The rationale originally for this is that (purchasing products from) these displays still ultimately requires face-to-face interaction … The retailer is responsible for complying with the minimum age restrictions by checking photo ID for anyone they think is under the age of 27."
What's Next?
The proposed rule will be available for public comment(www.federalregister.gov) for 75 days. Although all comments, data, research and other information submitted will be considered, the FDA is requesting comments about specific topics, including:
- whether all cigars should be subject to deeming, as well as which other provisions of the proposed rule may be appropriate or not appropriate for different kinds of cigars, and
- the public health concerns posed by products, such as e-cigarettes, that do not involve the burning of tobacco and inhalation of its smoke, and how such products should be regulated.
The AAFP plans to draft and submit comments on the rule to the FDA during the allotted comment period.

The only recipe I use now. I leave off the baked tomato sauce, and cover with purchased chili sauce, or nothing at all.
Oct 10, 2011
This was just okay. I liked the texture, but didn't care too much for the taste. I also didn't really like the tomato topping too much. We probably will not make this one again.
Jul 13, 2011
Made this the other night for dinner . My husband said this is the best meatloaf you have ever made. It was delicious!!! Would make again marked it in the cookbook.
Jul 11, 2011
There are lots of recipes out there for meatloaf. I thought the sauce on the side was a neat idea. I substituted a half pound of ground pork for half a pound of the ground beef and I topped the loaf with three strips of good quality, thick bacon. Another idea that was listed on in the TOH cookbook was to bake the loaf on a foil covered broiling pan. I lined the basin with regular foil and covered the grated top with non-stick foil. Make sure add drainage holes to the top foil so it will drain into the basin. Clean-up was a snap.
Nov 9, 2009
The meatloaf was tasty by itself, but the tomato topping is fantastic. It tastes so fresh compared to typical ketchup/brown sugar glazes.

Note: This is a lengthy, reflective piece, a personal attempt to thresh out issues I faced during my month of travel. It is deliberately written so as not to reveal specific locations and thus, no real names and addresses are given. I recommend reading this when you're relaxed and have the time.
The lobster corndog is as soft as her words are biting. I don't want this meal to turn into a feast of recrimination so I let her talk. I dip one dog into the accompanying sauce of whole grain mustard melded into crème fraiche. I like its temper of tang caressed by smooth and the bonus of mustard seeds flitting through my teeth. I sip my Cosmopolitan, feeling the fragility of the glass's stem. It's as fragile as I feel right now.
There's a reverent lull in conversation once the foie gras PB&J arrives. Ah, foie gras. Resistant to teeth but submissive to tongue, it possesses a firm but melting texture – how is that possible? Foie gras has a feral flavor but it's faint here; instead, it forms an alliance with the pistachio crust it lays on and its ravishing strawberry gelée atop. The studied carelessness of the pistachio butter swipe on the plate invites just that, so I swipe my finger into it and taste. It's creamy and subtly nutty and assuages more than just my hunger.
A traveler brings on her travel many hopes, the solitary traveler even more so. I'm on this trip because I'm in search for stimulus. And I'm looking for something, although what that is exactly, I don't yet know. I wish this trip to be the culmination of my current contemplations and fever dreams.
At a restaurant, I'm reminded that seemingly simple intentions can have complex underpinnings. In a black melamine bowl – really, why not a lighter-hued receptacle instead? – sit roasted dates. Their bodies are swathed in bands of bacon, and seemingly inconsequential ingots of parmesan peek out from between. It begs to be picked up with fingers so I obey.
I bite down on sweet succulence and feel myself fall limp. The date's sticky smokiness echoes the bacon's own, which ring in its inherent saltiness resounding that of the parmesan's. I eat another. Then another. It's too good, it feels almost illicit.
New emotions explore my every moment as I continue on my journey. Around me, people are tethered to their hands-free headsets and iPads; the elixirs of their lives are their iPhones (almost always black in color, but the super hip have white). I have neither. The buzzing liveliness of the neighborhoods I walk through is my soundtrack, the conversations I have are face to face. What I am right now is a student being taught a multitude of lessons on her travels. So I'm learning to trust my judgment.
I remember the Choose Your Own Adventure books of my youth where one decision would impact the protagonist's fate. I wryly remember peeking ahead and being able to ascertain from these sneak peeks how the ending would turn out. Too bad it's not like that in real life I muse as I nibble on a cheese wedge that I've dipped into wild honey still oozing from its honeycomb. I've always adored these charcuterie boards because of the possibilities they present: pair salami with cheese – but which cheese? Every cheese yields various, resultant flavors depending on what it's paired with. Or will I consider the dates and melon finished with a bite of sourdough rye? But say nothing of the rainbow of pickled vegetables because they'll go only with the burrata and cranberry whole wheat raisin walnut batard topped with mustard-laced prosciutto. Unlike Choose Your Own Adventure books and charcuterie boards, there's no peeking ahead to see what life has in store for me.
As is true when I rip myself out of my familiar, my senses are on high alert, my experiences run in Technicolor and High Definition. My attention becomes so sharp that every taste, sight, emotion, and motion hits me with a gasp. As such, when happiness appears on this trip for me, it is unrepentant and I revel in it. Warm sea urchin (uni) sits on a gilded glory of mashed potatoes. It's an island unto itself – no, a peninsula of pleasure for it juts into a sea made of lemon beurre blanc heightened with fines herbes pocked with crab. Thick enough to coat my spoon but neither chowder nor soup, it's so va-va-voom velvety that I'm shocked to hear that my voice has seemingly dropped an octave when I open my mouth to speak. It's unceasingly amusing to me that the bistro bills this dish under "Appetizers." I agree, there can be no foreplay more devastating than this.
Other times I find my rapture in bread. I wrench out the doughy arms that jut from a finely-formed ficelle or liberally dip slices of a pain au levain into olive oil, a vista of glistening green on which I scatter needles of rosemary and bullets of sea salt, salty stopgaps to plug my wayward fits of grief.
Another time, I'm overjoyed to be introduced to sweet potato fries. My mind retorts, "Oy, kamote fries lang iyan, 'day!" I have an undying love for sweet potatoes, any and all kinds. But I've never had them like this before. Long, Crayola-orange fingers with ooh-ouch-hot crispy exteriors give way to mealy insides still steaming. And the carnival of dipping sauces that come alongside? This is pure serotonin with aioli on top. Forget Prozac, give me my sweet potatoes.
Oyster stew is something that I've only read about in my cookbooks. And when it's in front of me, it's one of those rare pleasures where the fantasy lives up to the reality. Oysters engorged with brine and the allure that allows them to be called aphrodisiacs are awash in a creamy dream forged with foam and flashes of thyme. The broth is riddled with reams of bacon, their breath abounding and adding to the enchantment of it all.
The best meal I eat on this trip is unsurprisingly, steak, my favorite food in all the world. I can't even recall which cuts I eat – a tragedy, that; perhaps tastings of two Custom-Aged USDA Prime Beef and one from Australia? (filet mignon? Rib eye?), I know not now. What I do know is that during this meal, hunger and contentment cocoon me from my presently perpetual travel companions of restlessness and solitude.
When traveling alone, I delight in the company of people I don't know and I find myself reliant on their kindness. I can talk to anyone about anything and I'm not shy about asking for help. I realize that this longing for connection is one of the needs of a solitary traveler. Ryann, whom I meet at a high-end boutique, urges me to ditch that neighborhood for this – "The view is worth it!" She exclaims and scrawls on my map the numbers of the buses I should take to get there. We converse for a good half hour and when I leave, we hug like old friends. "Remember that spark, that spark!" she calls out to me when I wave goodbye. What she says imprints on my mind the way her fiery pink bustier dress and black combat boots do, physical manifestations of her brand of verve and fire. I covet her certainty about her place in the world.
Like that, much can be said about the confidences exchanged and afforded by the anonymity of strangers. There's Tina, who's on the same bus riding downtown. "I like your hair," she asserts and that starts off a conversation, a rather personal one, that continues off the bus and on into her favorite coffee shop where she introduces me (and treats me to!) her current coffee favorite: an Americano with a spritz of hazelnut syrup and a splash of half and half. She looks anxious as I take my first sip; I've told her that I'm a food writer back home. "Do you like it? Is it ok? I'm not an expert." Her words rush out. I like the drink very much and tell her so. "Never mind people like me," I tell her with an encouraging smile. "What's important is what you like."
- Greek coffee in an honest-to-god Greek cafe. It wasn't my thing, though (the coffee, not the cafe).
Coffee, obviously, is one thing that fuels my trip. Contemplated over in cafés, chugged on freeways, or sips stolen through a slit while wending my way through a neighborhood pummeled by rain and wind as I frantically grasp my backpack and maps. I buy coffee from coffeehouses I come across by coincidence or those I purposely seek out. I'm besotted by these places, taken by the way they smell and feel, always full and hungry for them.
- the infamous bacon maple latte
My two-times-daily poison of choice (skip the sleeve, please — I have very high heat tolerance) depends on what my mood dictates. Black mostly, because I'm macho like that but when it's an especially rough patch I skid across on the trip, then I seek the caress of a cappuccino, especially soy cappuccinos of which I'm growing an alarming attachment to. When I meet a bacon maple latte, I laugh at the hilarity of it but my snicker is silenced by a single sip. Two tablespoons of rendered bacon fat, a glug of maple syrup, two shots of espresso, and enough milk to rob a cow translate into a sheen of oil broken through by my receptive lips. As the liquid pulses through, a breath of bacon quickly overtaken by milk and maple and somewhere in all of this, the espresso steps on toes and shows who's boss. I get weak and whimper. Oh coffee, it will always be coffee for me.
And cocktails. And wine. I'm still learning about both but their names enchant me like the lyrics of my favorite songs. Love Letter, Major Danger, Belvedere, Cosmopolitan, Ginger Limeade. And the wines: whites, reds, and everything in between from all over the world. As proclaims a sign I see in a wine shop: "Sometimes no matter what the question is, the answer is always wine." But I'm decided on whiskey: I hate it.
At trip's end, I'm at a bistro gazing at my bruschetta plate. It's a masterpiece mosaic made up of housemade ricotta, tomato marmalade, candied olives, roasted garlic confit, and points of grilled crostini. Again, I'm mixing and matching and choosing-my-own-adventure, examples made edible of what I've been doing throughout this travel. Memories of it play through my mind like a frenzied slideshow – I'm exhilarated and exhausted with everything that's happened to me here.
At trip's beginning, I'm looking for something and I find plenty; not exactly what I was hoping for but the attempt of discovery is the fear of discovery: who knows what I'll find? I end my trip with more questions than answers, more sorrows than joys but of one thing I'm sure.
With dessert, there's always a better tomorrow.
You'll laugh, I know, but this statement has multiple interpretations.
I order the house cinnamon roll. It's ridiculously large and as big as my outstretched hand, which is reaching for it now. It's touch-me-hot and sticky and all levels of gratifying. My lips feel a sugar-sting like an eternal game of spin the bottle.
My cellphone beeps. It's S, my best friend, who's been keeping tabs on me during my trip. Last night, I texted him that I was coming home.
His reply: "I am looking forward to you coming back and excited that your exodus is over. The past is done but you can make decisions to make the present better. Love you, S."

The next time you're trying to pick solid colors for your next quilt, take a trip to the hardware store and grab some paint chips that match the colors you're thinking of working with. There are thousands of colors available at Lowe's and Home Depot, and if you go armed with your color charts, it's pretty easy to find a close match to the fabric. Here's how I did it.
Have you ever tried to design a quilt with only solid fabrics, using just a color chart card? It's tough!
Kona and Bella both make gorgeous charts that have swatches of all of their colors, but it can be kind of hard to determine if some colors will work together, especially if they are far apart on the chart.
How can I tell if Betty's Red will work with Summer Sky? One easy and inexpensive way is to go to the paint department of your local hardware store and pick up some matching paint chips.
In my case I wanted to see if Kona Curry
So, I found a paint chip that was the closest match to Curry. It's called Santa Monica Blvd. Gotta love the names of paint colors!
And then I found the closest match to Kona Stone, which was a paint called toll booth.
Once the matching paint chips were found, I can easily put them next to each other to see if I think the colors will work well together in my quilt.
Next was Kona Butter. Deep Cowslip 2 is a good match for that one.
Kona Sweet Pea was a tough one to match, and the closest color I came up with was Olive 4.
Kona Olive is pretty close to Olive Grove.
Bee's Wax was the closest match I could find to Kona Mustard.
Once I found chips to match all of the colors I had in mind for the quilt, I put them all together. They are so much easier to move around and play with different color combinations this way than try to move the color chart around.
Here are my first color choices. I thought they worked well together, but I couldn't help but feel that they had a little too much of a 70s vibe, and not in a good way. I'm thinking Avocado and Golden Harvest appliances...not quite the feeling that I want in my quilt.
So, I switched out the green with another golden color, Bee's Wax, and I'm really happy with how these four colors work together.
The coordinating Kona fabrics for these colors in my quilt will be Butter, Curry, Mustard, and Stone. I think they work really well together, and I could never have determined that using only my color chart. I'm going to start keeping a stockpile of color chips to use in designing my solids-only quilts, and I hope these tips will help you in designing your solid quilts, and other sewing projects, too!

What John Carter did
Sarah from Cinesnark says that John Carter might break even, eventually, but that it's still considered a bust considering how much it cost to make and market it. Yes, John Carter took a massive dump. But there's one good thing to have come from it:
Taylor Kitsch gets papped now.
I mean, 3 months ago, you couldn't pay a photographer to recognise Taylor Kitsch. Photographers don't watch FNL. They had no idea. And now?
Now TK goes to London and they shoot him leaving a restaurant. Maybe they'll even shoot him at the airport. Or having lunch in LA. The point is, it's so much easier now finding new pictures of him when you request it for shout-outs.
We must thank John Carter for this.
So here's TK in London today for the Battleship photo call with Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker, and Peter Berg. As mentioned earlier this week, Battleship will open a month earlier in Europe so as to avoid Euro 2012 and capitalise on the international market. After all, it's the international market that's saving John Carter's ass. Universal is smart to put aside the tradition of releasing domestically first and go for where the money is. What difference does it make to the people in America anyway?

A.C. Thompson's reporting on transgressions by the New Orleans police force in the wake of Hurricane Katrina led to an article in The Nation, a reporter position at ProPublica, three convictions (one since overturned) for the police officers involved in the murder of a man named Henry Glover, and, starting September 23, a character on HBO's Treme.
Treme, written by former journalist David Simon, takes place in a post-Katrina New Orleans. Its third season premieres this Sunday at 10 p.m., when we'll be introduced to a new character: L.P. Everett. Much like Thompson, Everett comes to New Orleans to investigate racially motivated violence during and immediately after the hurricane hit, only to find that members of a corrupt and dysfunctional police force are behind some of it.
Simon, Thompson, and Treme co-Executive Producer Eric Overmyer attended a panel sponsored by NYU, ProPublica, and HBO on Tuesday night to promote the show and discuss how Simon and Overmeyer are turning "real life" into "reel life."
Thompson entered New Orleans as a freelancer, supporting his work through funding from nonprofits such as The Nation Institute. He eventually found that, a few days after Katrina hit, a 31-year-old father of four named Henry Glover was shot in the chest while walking with his friend, Bernard Calloway. Calloway and Glover's brother, Edward King, flagged down a passing motorist named William Tanner. Glover was placed in the back seat of Tanner's car, and the group set off for the nearest hospital. Tanner decided to drive instead to an elementary school being used by the SWAT team as a temporary base, because it was closer, and he figured that the police would be able to help and call an ambulance.
Instead, the police cuffed and beat Calloway, King, and Tanner, leaving Glover in the backseat of Tanner's car to die. The three men were released, but Tanner's car - and Glover - were kept in "police custody." A few days after that, Tanner's car was found. It was now a burnt-out shell with Glover's remains in the backseat.
It was only after Thompson's story broke that federal agents carried out a thorough investigation into Glover's death. Ultimately, NOPD officer David Warren was convicted of shooting Glover in the first place; Officer Gregory McRae was convicted of burning his body; and Lt. Travis McCabe was convicted of writing a false report (that conviction was overturned).
Treme is a fictional show that is rooted in reality, much like Simon's previous HBO series, The Wire, which featured The Baltimore Sun in its fifth and final season. Simon was a longtime Sun reporter, but his portrayal of the industry was generally unfavorable; cutbacks made good reporting more difficult to do, important stories were pushed to the back pages, and reporters who made up stories and sources were rewarded while the honest ones were demoted.
These issues are still present in journalism, but there are also nonprofit organizations such as ProPublica that can do in-depth investigative reporting without worrying about selling ads and pleasing advertisers. Before the panel, I asked Simon if he approached writing about nonprofit journalism differently than he did for-profit.
"I think reporting is reporting," he said. Basically, the institutions that sponsor such reporting may have different objectives, but the work their reporters do is the same. While Simon focused his depiction of journalism in The Wire on the institution and the business's shortcomings, "it was not an argument against professional journalism at all the issue is the revenue stream." He wonders if that revenue stream will be able to "support a beat structure" again. Reporters like Thompson can come into a city, uncover and expose grievous wrongs, and hope there's a response. But what happens when Thompson moves on to his next assignment and New Orleans doesn't have a beat reporter (or even a daily newspaper)? "The way you keep those institutions honest is by covering them every day," Simon said. On the panel later, he added that "a thousand points of blogger light," well-intentioned though they may be, cannot replace professional journalism.
Thompson told the mostly adoring crowd that he tried to be fairly hands-off when it came to how his fictional counterpart was written. As a journalist, he said he's had nightmares about subjects of his stories telling him he depicted them incorrectly. His suggestions to Simon and Overmyer were "occasional," Simon said, and usually only came when the show diverted from reality in ways that damaged that reality. Otherwise, Thompson said, he was content to let go and see where the story went.
Even so, it looks like L.P. Everett will stay fairly true to the man he's based on - especially in regards to Thompson's work. Everett will investigate a body found in a burned car and the NOPD's involvement in that case.
I asked Thompson if he'd noticed that the actor playing Everett (Chris Coy) was 26 years old—Thompson was about a decade older than that when he went to New Orleans. Thompson laughed, saying that in movies and cinema, "youth often prevails." What he's seen so far of Coy's performance, he added, was "tremendous." And while it's a "crazy honor" to work with Simon and Overmyer and see a depiction of himself on the TV screen, "doing work that has some kind of real-world impact, that actually helps bring about a modicum of justice and some sort of social change, is the most rewarding thing it's why I do what I do."

For such a massive series, the standard Star Wars action figures have never exactly set the world on fire. The originals had a range of movement last seen at the Nuremberg Rally, and subsequent ones haven't improved much.
For 2013, though—and perhaps spurred on by Star Wars' fresh ownership—Hasbro has pulled out all the stops, announcing the "Black Series", a run of figures that will appeal mostly to adult collectors.
See: beautiful photos of classic Star Wars figures.
Instead of the traditional (and under-sized compared to most other figures) 3¾ inches they've stood at for 35 years, the Black Series will be a more contemporary 6 inches. They've also got increased detail, poseability and even fancy new packaging.
Selling for $20, they'll be out in August. The first figures on the market will be"Luke Skywalker in his X-Wing Fighter flight suit, fan-favorite droid R2-D2, bad guy Darth Maul and an Imperial Sandtrooper."
USA Today says it's part of Hasbro exploring options and sizes for the new films currently in the pipeline. Please, Hasbro, stick with this.

While I was in Washington D.C. a few weeks ago, both on one of the BlackBerry® commuter shuttles and at the first Appy Hour event, I had a chance to help out with some more demonstrations of the BlackBerry® 7 OS and BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablets. Even though I use these devices on a daily basis, I love to explore the functions and tie the features into everyday business and personal use cases. Showcasing them to those viewing the devices and software for the first time makes it even better!
After walking through a few demonstrations of BlackBerry 7 smartphones and BlackBerry PlayBook tablets, I think a few of the biggest hits were remote control via BlackBerry Bridge, the overall interface of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet (including the intuitive bezel gestures), and the mini-HDMI output that allows you to present on a projector, TV, or monitor at full HD 1080p.
As for BlackBerry 7 OS, the liquid graphics certainly pack a punch – but beyond the performance and sleek hardware, built-in apps like the updated BlackBerry® Travel, BlackBerry® Maps (with new contextual deals), and BlackBerry® Mobile Conferencing make the devices a must have for business.
The truth is, many organizations and individuals are using BlackBerry® 6 smartphones – and while we all have a soft spot for our original BlackBerry devices, we still want to get the latest and greatest into your hands! Unpacking some of the features of the top-of-the-line BlackBerry 7 OS models was a great experience, and the responses were fantastic as all involved were able to easily see how these can translate into more productivity at work and more intuitive connections to friends, family, and colleagues.
Cool phones…but what I get isn't up to me!
Hands-on demos are great and all, but with many organizations in government providing the devices for work use, how can you actually make an upgrade happen? We're trying to help with that too. Head over to www.upgrademenow.com to get some help on making that business case, or to learn how you can trade up a personally owned phone for a newer model (there are some amazing deals that can come along with this if you're eligible!). Check it out today, and let us know how it goes.
Have you upgraded from BlackBerry 6 to a BlackBerry 7 OS smartphone? What do you like best about the new model? Share in the comments below.
