Here's a delicious alternative to fried fish that gets its great crunch from toasted panko bread crumbs.
Tender grilled rack of lamb pairs perfectly with a smoky grilled fennel mixture brightened with fresh herbs. Make things easy and ask your butcher to french the racks of lamb for you.
Company-worthy roasted lamb is enhanced by the earthy, herbal flavors of caraway and rosemary. Take advantage of the time your lamb roast is resting to make these simple crispy onion rings, no fryer necessary.
Lamb shoulder braised in a simple mixture of chicken broth, lemon zest and juniper berries transforms into a fork-tender roast. The reduced cooking liquid provides a concentrated jus to keep lamb moist and warm and the roasted lemons add a bright note to...
Tucked away in a versatile cake, shredded carrots and parsnips are the secret to keeping this rich treat dense and moist, without being decadent.
Grapes are an unexpected treat when roasted until their juices are warm and concentrated. Here they add a sweet note to a sourdough bread pudding made rich with cream cheese.
This vegan riff on Waldorf salad is deliciously rich and crunchy. Instead of chopping the romaine lettuce, you can also use whole leaves to line a bowl or platter and serve the salad on top.
This easy soup gets wonderful flavor and texture from a mix of cooked and raw mushrooms. If you would like to use portobello mushrooms, first scrape out the dark gills under their caps as they can give the soup a muddy color.
A hidden sliver of Brie bakes up creamy and rich under a spoonful of savory herbed mushrooms in these flaky pastry bites. These easy and impressive hors d'oeuvres promise to be the center of attention at your next cocktail party.
Joe from Louisiana sent us this recipe for a walnut and chickpea dip brightened with fresh herbs and citrus juice. Think hummus, with the richness supplied by walnuts instead of sesame. Spread on crostini, toasted pita or rounds of English cucumber.
Serve this hearty soup with toasted dark bread, thinly sliced apple and a seasonal green salad. To learn how to make this recipe, watch the Secret Ingredient cooking show.
Bake the potatoes until they are just tender and still a tad firm so they don't turn to mush and fall apart. These potato skins are a great side dish to meat, tofu or salmon.
This hearty soup combines two lucky foods, black-eyed peas and collard greens, with vegetables and smoky ham. Enjoy on New Year's Day, or any day, for a satisfying, warming meal. Serve with thick slices of toasted crusty bread.
Enjoy this simple vegetarian version of classic Spanish paella. We added lima beans and peas for extra flavor and protein. Topping with grilled tempeh would provide an even bigger protein boost. Rice in paella should be al dente, so take care not to add too much...
Gluten-free flours combine with apples, carrots, zucchini, raisins and walnuts in these satisfying and nutritious muffins. You can also try our Whole Grain Morning Glory Muffins...
Take advantage of pears in season and try a new variety in this twist on a popular dish. A little sweet pear (or apple or dried fig) makes the dressing especially good.
A small handful of chopped herbs (rosemary, thyme and parsley are especially good) stirred into the finished soup will brighten its flavor. Cut the potatoes, carrots and celery into large chunks if you prefer a heartier texture and appearance.

Well it has been the worst of times for many and it is that the groups from various religious traditions.
Who helped to fill the spiritual void to look.
There is no answer to why this happened today we just have to work together stay together and try to be a confidence consolation for each other.
President Obama traveling to Connecticut to lead the nation in a multi faith display of unity for the victims.
I am.
Very mindful.
That mere words cannot match.
The depths of your sorrow.
Nor -- -- -- You're wounded hearts -- Religious groups are able to mobilize quickly after tragedy strikes but it's more than just having organizational skills without government red tape.
It's what religions are designed for.
They're designed -- to attach us citizens to eternal truths.
And to remind us that there's something greater.
Than our own individual need.
And our own individual desire.
When hurricane sandy hit and destroyed so many lines it was religious groups among others who came to help it's not so much religion but relationship.
To god and what we've seen a Staten Island is an unprecedented.
Movement of of church is coming together.
And it's beyond the nomination.
Chanukah celebration doubles as a charity event helping those who suffered at the hands of -- bringing a message of lying to a darkened world -- I can't say that is a perfect time for the storm -- storm is perfect.
But the most perfect how that if -- come after such a storm misconduct that gives us a tremendous message of hope.
And these tragedies.
These tragedies really remind us to lay aside our differences to focus.
Our common need and to give back to our community not just during the holiday season but all year long.
And that's what the panels focused on as well joining me now is father and Rebecca Roman Catholic -- and author of sole providers for the -- -- -- Limitless love.
Also the reverend Susan sparks -- Madison avenue Baptist Church.
And rabbi David chamber he's -- founder and spiritual director of Roman Roman moved.
OK that together they -- of a new god squad looking at the -- issues from.
Different perspectives but with one goal would help us all.
Get along a lot better is that right.
-- how guys and I kind of come together and it.
To think hey here we should take our show on the -- we should really kind of beat.
Scott a voice to so people how we can all sort of you know we have different version -- religious tradition backgrounds we can all get along.
We as a religious person -- in the media and -- always look for voices that have something to say.
And especially when you want to be inclusive and -- other traditions are saying about topics in the news events like we're talking about here today.
And so when I met the season and -- it.
They both.
Were those people for me.
And we can argue and disagree and yet we had a common desire to really bring the -- to whatever people's will to people's lives in a way that made it accessible.
And so more conversation would have off camera we -- well why not do this to.
Pat in a broader audience that I believe joke because there's a lot of dinners meet at a bar you know I had -- pressure issue.
Well religion causes so many differences between -- that I think it's it's such a -- and it's such a healing thing for voices from different traditions to come together and actually.
Try to move things forward is supposed to break them down yeah you know bridge.
Absolutely you know I'm.
Yeah one of the things that keeps coming out of the situation in Newtown Connecticut and then.
Those people who deal with -- -- -- -- might -- you know being -- clergy or -- it means almost recovery is that.
The question keeps coming out of these events is how -- a good god how could a person could god allow something like that to happen and rabbi maybe you can.
Start with that because that's the question everybody wants to know how could this happen -- why wouldn't -- prevent that happening.
Absolutely it's actually probably the most commonly asked question that I that I received.
And of course -- given it my own people who went through some of the Holocaust and so much of theology in the post holocaust world was focused on how to work with a god there was.
Seemingly absent.
This kind of very they're very big issue and somewhat bigger -- is there's a big difference between theology.
And presents.
As clergy and as members of faith.
We can offer larger vision and it often does that impact people for centuries of coming and rested -- -- -- on the shoulder religion and has offered a very big perspective.
But -- those big perspectives can get in the way -- actually healing and grieving.
We have to be really careful when you're speaking with someone.
That you don't offer kind of pat answers and theology is and who would have -- the obvious he's kind of defenses for god.
It's a different person be angry guy it's a different person to feel rage at god it's a good progress in the field grief and we as clergy and if people -- -- willing to sit with them but thorough in their own.
Yeah payment and then offer them a larger perspective and one of those perspective is that god actually wasn't there for -- in the the act cruel -- it was there in the act of a compassionate response to cruelty.
It's -- god as as Edwards took four is there in the suffering they're offering solace and hope.
For what happens after those horrible moments in terms of rebuilding kinds of.
Yeah reconstruction what -- finalized those people don't ask the questions until there is a tragedy that's kind of a long time because.
Had you know sort of -- have been president -- they might be able to filter or you know sort of take ten.
What's happening -- at that point but it mean.
Obviously it's right that's not the time to actually talk reality when something's.
-- -- Well I agree with what David -- I think there's another question no there's a question of why did this -- but I think the bigger question where -- really empowers people is from.
How do we get through this or how to -- when we do next and you know at least the message might traditionally gospels and Christian is a message of hope of resurrection of new life and surely.
We can't bring back these beautiful children but we can certainly try to uphold their legacy.
And through faith and through hope and through what our tradition teaches us -- we move forward.
We do we -- to try to make love and not guns make.
You know I a safer world make something that will make them like the legacy of the children live and be.
Mean I create this world and is something that is -- is closer to what we envision as Christians and assuming things.
I also think.
That when you start asking where was god implicit in that is that it was -- That -- got to somehow abstinent so this happen.
And I hate that in the sense that it seems to -- humankind for what we do to cause things like this.
I didn't -- the ideas I could it.
Is -- the gut reaction and knee jerk reaction is if there's an all -- all sovereign god that it how could -- stand by and watch that happen.
Because he gives people free will he sets its creation for us to do it will to -- -- she's bad his mental illness is people who break down from.
There's guns running rampant in our country that people aren't doing anything about.
There's all of these issues that you have to say are our issues to solve them and you have bad things happen I think.
God is with us -- the suffering god mourns with us but what kind of god would really be if we -- like a puppeteer.
He managed it also this wouldn't happen -- that would happen and that's kind of -- -- the afterlife connection and -- -- -- earnest effort wide review that was the -- system.
Sad and incredibly he made it.
And never got us Jose and Genesis is clearly know that god made humans fare well then we seek out of the firefighters received got in the rescue workers mixing god and the teachers -- they gave their lives that is true.
I mean that there's these are all options recovered again defending the notion -- -- -- -- -- -- how do you work with that I am -- easily argue that our -- about -- to grow up to.
That you know a guy that is involved and every moment -- her life.
You have to be fully explain the good things right if you don't believe in such a -- couldn't believe -- can -- and god at all all of these wonderful things so.
So -- you can you can live in that -- you -- -- -- -- I don't know I don't know there's room for mystery religion.
What are different -- traditionalists though.
Explain the presence of evil -- mean you've got to say that that what happened in Newtown Connecticut had to be evil right that's -- how do you explain evil.
In the presence of a good.
He makes sense of he -- with -- got a call evil what it is we can't just say there's no such thing as -- there's got to be to explain something like.
Very well we've certainly done it I think in mythic terms we've with a double let's look if you look at the scripture whether you've -- the -- as personified or not.
There's always -- the acknowledgment that there are two forces in the world good and evil -- -- kind of battle each other and from the scriptural tradition good wins.
And yet it doesn't absolve the evil or it doesn't take it out of the world.
So to explain it though is why -- human beings can be so flawed and she's evil.
Well why -- mental illness was this kid really evil was he mentally ill who was -- was the autism something that's so isolated him.
And -- evil work through this sort of weaknesses of human nature I -- is that the conduits through which you can do its work or -- is -- the actual mental illness sort of non.
Moral and -- anyway.
You know I mean is it can be called evil evil or -- we have to like always late with old mental illness.
Well it could also be this or circumstances and situations people's lives the pain and the suffering that may drive them to do -- evil acts.
You know you -- about a broken world a world that is has fallen and this is not whole anymore and I think so many so much of evils so much so send.
Suffering of people comes out of the fact that life has beaten them down life has given them pain and they react not that that's right or wrong but it drives and into -- lives.
We're gonna take a break right now I have another island tough crowd a little bit more with the -- -- here but before we go I want to.
I think if you they need to Connecticut is actually having a live nativity.
After -- church service earlier in the week and there -- is even in the midst of such tragic.
-- there they they put their focus.
Also on the season which is this season of the birth of Jesus so the any town residents -- -- -- live nativity after the first service.
Earlier in week four.
Prepare for residents to have a sense of joint.
In the midst of such sorrow we take a break on nother debate -- -- with more just for accidents.

Since winning the inaugural Scottish Comedian of the Year Award in 2006, barely a year after his first-ever open-spot, Mark Nelson has firmly established himself on the comedy circuit.
A powerhouse mix of dark humour, cutting observations and superb one-liners have seen him quickly rise to the ranks of being a much sought-after comic and writer.
His effortlessly likeable manner on stage belies some of the stronger content and Nelson often has audiences laughing at things they know they really shouldn't be laughing at.

Ireland Tours
- Dublin - temple bar, Aran Islands, Ring of Kerry, The Burren, Giant's Causeway, Galway
- Dublin
- Dingle Peninsula
- Killarney
Legendary the world over for their beer, music and joie de vivre, the Irish are an eloquent lot. Never short on charm, the land that has produced more poets and writers than any small island should, is equally renowned for the countryside that produced them. From the rolling deep-green hills of Kerry to the rocky Aran Islands and unearthly geometry of the Giants Causeway, Ireland is storybook at every page, complete with stone castles, lush glens and rugged shores. But a new Ireland has risen too, and fresh sophistication has creeped into everything from design to cuisine. No matter which Ireland you seek, just visit the local pub for a few pints and you're sure to find some good craic (fun). Slainte!
St. Patrick's Day in Ireland (EQPD)
Leave the green beer and tacky hats behind and have an authentic St. Patrick's Day experience in Ireland. Of course, there'll be the requisite Paddy's Day partying in Dublin, but there will also be pub crawls in locales like Galway, Killarney and Cork, as well as storytelling tours and orientation walks to get you up to speed on Ireland's culture. A small group size means that you'll get more attention from the trip's CEO—and more seats at the pub!
Highlights: Blend into a green on a Paddy's Day pub crawl in Templebar (Dublin), kiss the Blarney Stone, dance an Irish jig to traditional music at the local pub, experience the best craic Ireland has to offer.
Highlights of Ireland (EQHI)
We're all a little bit Irish come March 17th, but if you're in the market for something more meaningful than a pint of green beer, hop aboard this delightful 9-day adventure to the Emerald Isle. Yeats' grave, Cork, Blarney Castle, the karsts of the Burren, traditional music in a local pub... seriously, it doesn't get much more quintessentially Irish than this. We mix the essential sites and time in the villages and country to really round out the experience. Even if Ireland isn't the Old Country for you, this trip will make you feel as though you're back home.
Highlights: Drink a pint and listen to traditional music in a local pub, visit the famous sites of Newgrange and Drumcliffe, learn how to bake traditional goodies, sail to the Aran Islands, kiss the Blarney Stone for the gift of gab
Trip | Length | Style | Service Level | Starting Price |
St. Patrick's Day in Ireland (EQPD) | 8 days | Yolo | Basic |
Highlights of Ireland (EQHI) | 9 days | Classic | Standard |

Andaharah - The Land of Scattered Ages [OOC + explanation]
Andaharah is a land which has tossed time like a salad, the fourteen regions of Andaharah are each in their own separate age of man, and have their own rules, laws, societies, and magic.
the fourteen regions are as follows (This could get a tad confusing so please understand that the RP currently focuses on only the first three regions, and will spread to the others at a later time)
1: Arena
This region is an extremely technological advanced place where Aimen (humans with an AI implant) are forced to fight in massive colloseums, they use increased movement strength and intelligence to wage battles humans never could, however some of these Aimen have escaped and plan to free their fellows.
Phase gear: used to increase movement and mobility, it is a skin tight suit which deflects all vectors which would inflict harm unto the wearer to the things around him/her allowing them to jump higher, fall further, and run faster. Experienced users can even run up walls when using it
Seekers: The deadly flying robot army used to keep the Aimen in line, whenever Aimen problems arise they are deployed, they are controlled by the mysterious council which holds power over the city that spans the entirety of this region.
2: Apocalypse
This region is a massive post apocalyptic wasteland where deformed mutants, and mysterious wanderers roam and survive. Three main factions have made themselves a name in the wastes. This land has been in a post apocalyptic state ever since a great event that happened 100 years earlier. Some people speak of this event, but none are too sure what it exactly was.
The Acolytes: This fanatic cult of priests have booby trapped the entirety of the city ruins that lies in the southwestern edge of this region, many have tried to penetrate their defenses, but all have failed.
The LSM (Legion of Suppressed Mutations): These barbaric, barely human creatures have sworn an oath to rid the wastes of every last human without a mutation in existance. After being stepped on for years the mutants bound together under Harris the Abomination, and have pillaged and killed humans everywhere ever since. Their base is within the massive cave system that spans the entirety of the underground of this region.
Wanderers: These mysterious 'humans' are not an official faction, but many rumors have spread about there being a secret Headquarters hidden somewhere in the wasteland. The wanderers have strange powers unexplainable by any, some have said that they have seen them shoot lightning from their fingertips. Whether they be actually magical or simple innovative is yet to be divined. Nevertheless they are extremely dangerous, and are considered an enemy by both the Acolytes and the LSM.
3: The Lost Regions
This region is not in any given time setting, it is stuck fluctuating from age to age, it is a massive black abyss with small islands of land floating through it, the largest of these isle's is the realm of the Wall Walkers. These powerful sages have been gathered from each of the other thirteen regions and have been given the responsibility of watching over each of the other region from the shadows, constantly protecting them from the powers of darkness. These beings are the only ones with the ability to travel from one region of Andaharah to the other. All other inhabitants are stuck in the region they were born to, and have absolutely no knowledge of the other region at all.
4: Dull
5: Dark
6: Exemplary
7: Modern
8: Barbaric
9: Chivalric
10: Honorable
11: The Sea of Dreams
12: The Coast of Hope
13: The Valley of Death
14: The Tower of Time
The other 11 will get their explanations in due time, but for now I shall allow them to be shrouded in mystery. (Oooh scary ghost noises O.o)
well anyways I will be in need of at least three other players before I start this
character 1:
Joey (he is an Aimen you make up the rest)
Cassy (Also and Aimen, again make up her personality, fighting style and what now)
Scott Taylor (the man driving the blimp over head. he is an engineer, that is all)
we are currently in the Arena region and have no idea that the other regions exist, none of us are Wall Walkers.
any custom characters will be accepted once these roles have been filled
please post which character you want to be and how you will portray them in this thread
my character's name is Colton Grey, my friends call me Colt, that is all.
Character Sheet:
Region: (either Apocolypse or Arena at the moment please)
Morality/Standing: (True Evil, Neutral Evil, Lawful Evil, Chaotic Neutral, True Neutral, Lawful Neutral, Chaotic Good, Neutral Good, Lawful Good)

Advances in multislice CT technology have resulted in a 4- to 6-fold increase in imaging speed and have enabled both the acquisition of thinner slices and an increase in z-axis coverage. Together, these improvements are prompting reconsideration of conventional approaches to the use of contrast media. Now, along with setting appropriate parameters for pitch, slice thickness, and the number of passes to make during various phases of contrast enhancement, radiologists tailor the delivery of iodinated contrast by adjusting volume, concentration, rate, and the timing between injection and scanning.
The organ whose imaging is most affected by advances in multislice CT is the liver. Identification of pathology within the liver is related directly to differences in normal hepatic parenchyma and abnormal tissue. In the vast majority of cases, metastatic disease presents as lower-density, hypovascular lesions against a bright background, made so by substantially greater contrast enhancement. 1 The goal in hepatic imaging is to increase the difference in enhancement between the two tissues, so that the conspicuity of lesions is maximized. The best way to do this is by giving adequate amounts of contrast material, as gauged by the total grams of iodine. The rate of contrast administration determines the timing of peak contrast enhancement.
The enhancement curve of the liver is characterized by a fairly steep uprise. It then reaches a plateau, followed by a slower downward curve. It is at the peak that the maximal difference in the enhancement of the liver and hypovascular liver lesions becomes apparent. It is, therefore, imperative that scanning be performed during the maximal phase of contrast enhancement. 2
Single-slice helical scanners require a significant amount of time to scan the liver, and therefore must include some of the upward phase of the contrast enhancement curve, as well as the plateau and the downward phase (Figure 1). Scanning during the early upward phase of the enhancement curve is inefficient, as images are obtained when the concentrations of contrast are still low, even though the patient has received a large contrast load.
Scanning during the downward phase of the enhancement curve is worse. As contrast reaches equilibrium, the aortic enhancement curve and the liver enhancement curve begin to run parallel, and hypovascular liver lesions begin to fill in from the periphery. During this equilibrium phase, liver lesions become much less conspicuous, they appear smaller, and, finally, they disappear. This results in a less accurate representation of the extent of disease and could, for example, give the false impression that lesions were improving with chemotherapy or radiation therapy when, in fact, their change in size was simply a hemodynamic artifact caused by encroachment of contrast into the lesion.
A major advantage of multislice CT over standard helical CT is that it takes significantly less time to scan a target organ. Consequently, less of the upward and downward portions of the enhancement curve need be included. Instead, most of the scanning closely surrounds the area of peak enhancement of the liver (Figure 2).
Ideally, imaging would capture just the peak of liver enhancement, with none of the up- or downslope of the enhancement curve. To do that, image acquisition in the entire volume of the liver would need to be completed within only seconds. Although we have not yet achieved that goal, the development of 4-, 8-, and even 16-slice CT scanners has brought us much closer.
Computer Automation
As 8- and 16-slice CT scanners become available and, in the future, volumetric CT is introduced, it will become even more critical to time scanning precisely to correspond to the peak contrast enhancement of the liver. We can do this by using either a test bolus of contrast material or, even better, computer automated scanning technology (CAST). SmartPrep (GE Medical Systems, Milwaukee, WI) is one example of this technology.
Using a test bolus has several disadvantages. It requires giving additional contrast material, at additional expense. In addition, it is done separately from routine scanning and, therefore, adds to the length of the examination.
By comparison, CAST enables contrast to be given at an acceptable rate (2.5 to 6 mL/sec) and a series of low-radiation-dose scans taken at short intervals until a specific enhancement threshold over baseline is achieved in the liver. The computerized software is now sophisticated enough to automatically track with cursor placement in aortic and liver enhancement curves.
Our research has shown that an enhancement threshold of 50 HU results in excellent lesion detection in the liver. 2-5 When the contrast reaches this threshold, the technologist simply performs the diagnostic scan. The time it takes to switch from enhancement detection scanning to the actual diagnostic study is acceptable for parenchymal organs, such as the liver, though it may be slightly longer than is ideal in some applications, such as CT angiography.
The development of CAST was prompted by the observation that contrast circulation times vary from person to person. The average time from injection to portal venous phase scanning of the liver is 65 to 70 seconds. While this time frame would likely be appropriate for a very fit person, a patient with cardiovascular disease would benefit from CAST, which automatically adapts to the patient's decreased cardiac output and delays the liver scan until enhancement is optimal.
Computer automation may also reduce the volume of contrast used. Research in this area has demonstrated that the degree of liver enhancement achieved with a 125-mL bolus of contrast using CAST is equivalent to that achieved with 150 mL of contrast using a conventional time delay between injection and imaging. 3-5
Another technique used to achieve better contrast enhancement is the "saline-push." By chasing the contrast with saline, a greater degree of contrast enhancement can be achieved. This approach requires additional time, a more experienced technologist, and may compromise contrast sterility if not well managed. In the appropriate clinical environment, however, it can be a useful method to improve contrast enhancement.
Contrast Concentration
For most CT examinations, it is typical to use approximately 150 mL of contrast with a concentration of 300 to 320 mgI/mL. As multislice CT technology advances, the ability to deliver higher concentrations of contrast in smaller volumes will become important. With faster scanners, including those capable of volumetric scans of an entire organ in one acquisition, it is absolutely critical to deliver contrast rapidly. Volume, on the other hand, becomes less important. With increasingly fast scanners, it is no longer necessary to use volume to prolong the examination, as has been done in the past. Higher concentrations (for example, 370 to 400 mgI/mL) and lower volumes likely represent the future of contrast administration as scanners become faster and faster.
Some caution is warranted, however. Rates of contrast administration have increased significantly in the past decade. Two surveys conducted by the Society of Computed Body Tomography/Magnetic Resonance, in 1995 and 1998, 6 indicated contrast delivery rates for routine body examinations have increased from a range of 1 to 1.5 mL/sec to 2.5 to 3 mL/sec, and in the case of evaluation for hypervascular lesions, to 5 to 6 mL/sec. To remain comfortable in delivering contrast at such high rates, we must be sure that there is an extremely low incidence of contrast extravasation.
In our practice, we are committed to universal use of low-osmolality contrast media, and have been able to achieve exceptional efficiency with an extremely low incidence of adverse reactions. Careful attention to safety will be even more critical as we venture into intravenous use of higher-concentration iodinated contrast material in CT.
Another potential problem may be the use of relatively high concentrations of iodinated contrast when scanning such areas as the neck and upper thorax, where streak artifacts emanating from undiluted contrast material can be detrimental. Despite this, higher concentrations of contrast, assuming they can remain safely within the low-osmolar range, will likely become widely used.
Additional Efficiencies
The use of prefilled syringes is now becoming more popular, as scan times are reduced and workplace efficiency critically examined. At the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, we perform nearly 300 CT procedures each day. If the cost of using prefilled syringes is comparable to that of manually drawing up contrast for each procedure, the added advantages of sterility and time savings for nurses and technologists are likely to be deciding factors that propel the use of prefilled syringes.
Another cost-saving approach might be to buy contrast in bulk, perhaps in 1000-mL containers, rather than the 500-mL containers now more generally in use. We could then spike these containers once and, using a series of one-way valves to protect against bacterial and viral contamination, fill syringes for multiple patients. This approach is actually being used now in many hospitals, as the contents of today's 200- to 500-mL contrast bottles are used for multiple examinations in multiple patients.
Current and future multislice CT scanners will generate interest in using higher concentrations of contrast, lower volumes, and techniques to clearly define contrast circulation and peak enhancement, such as computer automated scanning. Prefilled syringes will probably be more widely used as pressure to increase efficiency continues. Purchasing contrast in bulk containers may be another effective means of reducing costs. *

MADRID (AP) — Formula One champion Jenson Button's move to McLaren is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing decisions of the season.
Button left constructors' champion Brawn GP in November after seven years with the former Honda group just before it was taken over by Mercedes, which is investing in an F1 team for the first time in 55 years.
The Briton traded in the comforts of a team he knew well for a chance to drive at McLaren, where teammate Lewis Hamilton has been racing since he was 13. Hamilton's influence inside the team led Fernando Alonso, who joined immediately after winning a second straight championship in 2006, to leave after just one season due to supposed favoritism.
"Jenson knew exactly what he was letting himself in for," McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh said of his all-British lineup. "So far he hasn't regretted it. We will see as the season unfolds which of our drivers feels most uncomfortable — inevitably they will. One of them has to feel uncomfortable if he's being beaten by the other."
Last season, Button won six of the first seven races and then hung on to win the championship over Red Bull driver Sebastian Vettel. Hamilton was fifth after a mixed season with McLaren, but preseason testing has shown that the British team is one of the favorites going into a field where Alonso has been reinvigorated by a move to Ferrari and seven-time champion Michael Schumacher returns to take Button's place.
Despite all of the competition on the grid, it's the in-house threat that seems most dangerous.
"Our chances our good. I have a confidence in my ability and my confidence in building a good team around me," Button said. "But you never know until you're racing someone in the team. It's very difficult to know where you stand.
"There will be rivalry, there always has to be between teammates. (And) one of us is always going to be on top."
Whitmarsh, who regrets how the team treated Alonso, said the rivalry will help the team's drive for the title.
"Jenson and Lewis in harmony at McLaren isn't a headline we're likely to read," Whitmarsh told the BBC. "We'll do our best to do everything as fairly as we can with the two drivers.
"There is all kind of speculation about this is a Hamilton team — Lewis knows we want a fair fight. We will be fair and treat these guys equitably."
Hamilton, who won two races as McLaren rebounded down the stretch last year, said his working relationship with Button was good, but the 2008 champion did not mince words when it came to getting back into the title fight.
"I'm happy to put my hands up and say when I've been beaten, and I have lost a race to a teammate, but not a championship," said Hamilton, who also admitted to errors in handling Alonso's stay at the team. "At some stage it could happen, but I will just do everything I can to make sure it doesn't."
Button said his driving style will also suit new regulations, which have banned refueling.
"It's still a different way of driving for me because it is like an endurance race. It's like driving at Le Mans, you really have to look after the tires at the start of the stint," the 30-year-old Button said. "If you damage the tires on Lap 3 you are (in trouble) for the whole stint. You really have to be very gentle with the car."
Whitmarsh said McLaren has the fastest team on the grid, which is quite a statement considering Button was better known by his playboy reputation than driving skills for some time.
Button made a promising debut for Williams at 20 before eventually moving to Benetton and Renault, where his off-track reputation came alive.
He joined BAR-Honda in 2002 and finally scored his first victory four years later in Hungary, but waited until last season to triumph again. Button was on the verge of exiting the sport when Honda pulled out in December 2008, even taking a pay cut while paying his own way to some races.
The highs and lows have obviously benefited Button, whose maturity and patience eventually paid off with Brawn at the start last year, something he will need to do with McLaren or risk falling by the wayside of Hamilton.
"This year I'm more excited because of the competitiveness of the four top teams, plus Sauber and Williams," Button said. "Also having Lewis as a teammate. He's an exceptional driver and it's really a challenge, an exciting one."

The Politics of Cleavage
In agreeing to establish a Community Constituency Group that would attend ACTG meetings, Hoth and Fauci proposed that the group include representatives of a wide range of constituencies—gays, racial minorities, women, injection drug users, people with hemophilia, and children. Whether NIAID officials deliberately sought
to dilute the impact of gay male treatment activism, or simply considered it good politics to broaden the community representation, the significance of the CCG was that it became the first place where activists from all these various communities came together to talk about AIDS treatments. Particularly for activists representing communities of color, this was a long-awaited opportunity to present their views before government officials and scientists, and their agenda was broad. The established treatment activists, however, saw it as inappropriate to use the CCG as a forum for issues beyond the purview of the ACTG. They wanted to talk about the science of clinical trials, and they urged the newcomers to "get up to speed." Almost immediately, tensions rose sharply.
At an AIDS Treatment Activist Conference held just prior to a CCG meeting, some called the ACT UP/New York Treatment & Data Committee's agenda a "white male" approach to health care, focused solely on drug development to the exclusion of issues like health care financing, which were of primary interest to women, minorities, and poor people.[95] One ACTG committee meeting ended in chaos, when members of ACT UP/New York's Women's Caucus, most of them white, blasted a planned clinical trial of pregnant women with HIV as "bad science" and "unethical." (The study, ACTG 076, was designed to test the use of AZT in interrupting transmission of HIV from mother to fetus. The activists objected to, among others things, the apparent prioritizing of fetuses over adult women in clinical research.) In response, several African-American women who were involved in running the study denounced the activists, leading a number of black and Latino members of the CCG to cry that ACT UP was "racist."[96]
On the local level, similar pressures fractured individual ACT UP chapters. Flush from its triumphs at the Sixth International Conference, where it had mobilized hundreds of people into the streets around the conference center for a weeklong series of demonstrations, ACT UP/San Francisco swelled with new members in the latter part of 1990 and then rapidly exploded. Ostensibly, the debate concerned whether the group should continue to operate according to the consensus process, allowing a single voice of dissent to paralyze decision making. At a deeper level, most commentators agreed, the split was between those (mostly gay white men who were HIV positive) who supported the basic goal of "drugs into bodies" and those (including many of the women and people of color in the group) who sought a more thoroughgoing engagement with the class-based inequities of the
U.S. health care system and with the racist, sexist, and homophobic dimensions of biomedicine and, indeed, of U.S. society as a whole.[97] From the standpoint of the latter group, the privileged white men were insensitive to any issues but their own; from the vantage point of the former, the forces of political correctness were engaged in utopian phrase-mongering while they were busy saving lives. The former group seceded from ACT UP/San Francisco to constitute a new chapter, ACT UP/Golden Gate.
Similar splits soon occurred in ACT UP/Chicago and ACT UP/Portland. Meanwhile, women in the Women's Caucus of ACT UP/New York became increasingly disturbed by the incorporation of "the boys" into the ACTG system. Though the Women's Caucus members had succeeded in pressuring Fauci to hold the National Conference on Women and HIV Infection in December 1990, they had never enjoyed easy access to NIAID officials, and the conference itself proved to be a tense and acrimonious event. "So imagine our fury," wrote Risa Dennenberg, describing the occasion in Outweek , "when, like ships in the night, three of [us] collided in the lobby of the Sheraton at the close of the conference, with members of the Treatment and Data Committee of ACT UP/NY, who were, unbeknownst to us, heading to a social event with these same dreaded government bureaucrats."[98]
Members of the Women's Action Committee proposed a six-month moratorium on face-to-face meetings with government officials—to the utter bewilderment and consternation of the Treatment & Data Committee. "As soon as we got the seat at the table, which we had fought for, and which had been a part of our rhetoric for years, there was a faction in ACT UP that didn't want us to claim it," Harrington recalled with disbelief, several years later.[99] Soon afterward, the core of the Treatment & Data Committee split off to form a new, more exclusive organization, which they called the Treatment Action Group, or TAG. "In New York, we were running a participatory democracy with nine hundred people in the room," commented David Barr, recalling how painful it was to contemplate leaving ACT UP: "You know, you can only do it for so long. …"[100]
Gender and racial divisions, as well as debates over internal participatory mechanisms, insider/outsider strategies, and overall priorities and goals, are the kinds of issues that can tear apart any social movement. What particularly complicated the internal battles of the AIDS movement was the additional overlay of the politics of expertise. It was not simply that some people were working on the inside while
others were outside—just as important, those who were on the inside were increasingly mastering specialized forms of knowledge with which their fellow activists on the outside did not come into contact. There resulted what Gilbert Elbaz, in an analysis of ACT UP/New York, has nicely described as a gap between the "lay expert" activists and the "lay lay" activists.[101] Stratification by gender, race, class, and education helped to structure access to the "lay expert" identity. "[It's] interesting how similar they are to the people that they're fighting," reflected Michelle Roland, a San Francisco Bay Area treatment activist. "I mean, it's science. And who is raised in this culture to believe that they could be scientists? Smart white men. And who are the treatment activists? Smart white men. All with an education. … And then you have … the occasional woman who says, 'I can do it too!'"[102]
The CCG should have been a place where possession of knowledge became equalized. In practice, people who not only came from very different backgrounds and had sharply differing priorities but also had widely varying degrees of exposure to biomedical science were thrown together and expected suddenly to perform. The CCG "was a great experiment," reflected David Barr, "but there were people at all different points within the learning curve." Barr explained: "You'd have somebody … who had AIDS, who knew a lot about AIDS, [but who] didn't know anything about AIDS research—you know, nothing. And never had seen a clinical trial, didn't live in a city where they did clinical trials, on the one end—and then Mark Harrington and Martin Delaney on the other."[103] The solidification of knowledge-based hierarchies was furthered by the difficulties experienced by the first wave of autodidacts in developing a coherent educational strategy that would bring larger numbers of activists into the arena of knowledge-assessment. One activist who remained with ACT UP after others left to form TAG painted a picture of a Treatment & Data meeting circa 1990: the core group of activists "feverishly [tossing] acronyms at each other," complaining that they were overworked and in need of help; the "mostly silent majority of 20 or 30," sitting in the back of the room, "waiting for a revelation."[104]
Another tendency accentuated by the organizational splits and the professionalization of treatment activism was the increasing emphasis on Western medicine and reliance on the pharmaceutical industry, to the relative exclusion of alternative treatments and non-Western conceptions of healing. The main ACT UP chapters had always had committees on alternative treatments, while Project Inform had promoted
Compound Q, derived from the root of a Chinese cucumber, and AIDS Treatment News had regularly and consistently promoted a range of nonpharmaceutical products. With the splits in the prominent ACT UP chapters, advocates of alternative and mainstream treatments often ended up in different camps. ACT UP/Golden Gate focused on the ACTG and the pharmaceutical companies, while interest in natural and alternative treatments was pursued mainly by ACT UP/San Francisco and other groups. Similarly, in New York, TAG focused on mainstream science, while alternative treatment activists found ACT UP to be a more congenial environment.[105]
At a national level, too, there was often little room for discussing alternative treatments. Jason Heyman, a San Francisco activist who tried to address the issue at a CCG meeting, recalls being "told to leave the room" by a prominent East Coast treatment activist.[106] In this case as in others, the dominant treatment activists had acquired the power to perform the "boundary work" that distinguished legitimate treatment issues from illegitimate ones.[107] "They were a wall … between us and the establishment. They were keeping us out." Heyman had no objection, in principle, to the fact that activists had moved to the inside. But once they had done so, "they changed … and they looked at us differently. They were offended by us." And the irony was that "we were doing what they had done. We were just being rude and … coming in there and saying, 'Look, this is what we want'— which is just what they had done."[108]
By 1992, the links connecting treatment activist experts with their grassroots base had become increasingly attenuated. Knowledge still flowed "downward" in the form of articles by the treatment activists that appeared in the gay press and the treatment newsletters. But there was less accountability to the broader movement. Perhaps predictably, perhaps inevitably, pressures to democratize science conflicted with pressures to establish new hierarchies of expertise. The tugs toward these different poles coincided with yet another tension, that which existed between "prefigurative" and "accommodationist" politics— between the appeal of a radical critique of medicine and the felt need to save lives now. By the early 1990s, it seemed that the voices of pragmatism had become dominant. Core groups of activists had established themselves as important contributors to the development of knowledge about AIDS treatments—but at the price of increasing distance from what was, in any case, a rapidly splintering movement.

oh right, that way you're at the top of the list with a low speed oc while pbmaster is towards the bottom for the highest speed?
I just think that's the way it should be. I won't be at the top of the list, it would be... Solaris17 I think, but I'm not sure. I'm more twards the bottom
I agree, both rankings should be up there. Sure, raising the multiplier is the easiest way to go, but it's still impressive when you get a high clock. All of these speeds we're reaching are rather impressive in my opinion.
That's what I'm saying. AMD's are known for being a little more difficult to overclock...everyone here is doing a good job and should all be noted for it.
if your on D9's i think you can get higher.I get 4-4-4-10 @1000mhz @2.2v on my ram and it has D9's unless you have the slower chips.
i think you should divide the list up because it is much easier to get a single core to 3ghz than it is for a dual core,and panchoman shouldnt be here with his close attempt at 3ghz

More and more passengers are speaking up about texting and driving. If a texting driver is making you nervous but you're not sure how to bring the topic up, here are some ideas:
If a driver absolutely won't stop texting or laughs at you for being nervous, don't argue. The last thing anyone needs is a road-raging, texting driver. Get out the car as soon as you can. Next time that driver offers to give you a ride, say, "no, thanks."

Learn to cook like Gordon Ramsay in New Zealand
Tuesday, 24 April 2012
The Northland-based Culinary Institute of New Zealand (CINZ) is launching a new diploma as part of its professional cookery courses – developed in partnership with Gordon Ramsay's internationally acclaimed Tante Marie Culinary Academy.
"Our professional qualification is designed in consultation with some of the industry's leading chefs. Throughout this qualification, students will learn the skills and knowledge required to cook in a professional kitchen environment, and gain the keys to a successful career in the industry," says Gordon Ramsay and Tante Marie.
The Culinary Institute, a boutique school based in Kerikeri, will begin teaching the Confederation of Tourism and Hospitality's (CTH) Diploma in Culinary Arts from May 14.
Institute Manager and Head Tutor Noel McRae says students will study for the Diploma while completing the school's NZQA-accredited national certificates in professional cookery, and the City and Guilds qualification.
The Diploma has been designed in consultation with some of the industry's leading chefs. It is a mix of practical and theoretical sessions. As well as key cooking subjects, the course also covers menu planning and budgeting.
"It allows our students to tap into the skills of Gordon Ramsay as one of the world's premier chefs. His food's amazing and he's a very talented operator in our industry – a true professional we can learn a lot from," Mr McRae says.
The Ramsay's U.K.-based Tante Marie Culinary Academy, is one of the oldest and most successful independent cookery schools on the international scene – well known to prospective employers.
"I believe the greater a student's range of qualifications the more likely these are to be recognised overseas – and therefore the more employable the graduate student will be."
Introducing the Diploma has other benefits, encouraging the Institute to broaden its curriculum. "If we teach the NZQA national certificates on their own, the curriculum is very specific. As course designer, I see the Diploma's introduction resulting in a very balanced set of qualifications, which cover the full range of skills and knowledge required by a professional chef."
General Manager for Quantum Education Group, Janet Dalby, says that adding the Diploma takes the Institute to another level of excellence. She says that it has always been the Culinary Institute's aim to be a centre of excellence, and the Diploma is "another tool to ensure we're achieving this."

Tentative Agenda:
Are doing development of details. Pursuing speakers. More as developments occur.
Gene & John,
Theory, belief then fact. Personal Responsibility has always been a fact in families where "Father" was head of household. Children did not vote and "no excuse sir" was the proper reply. You have to have the proper foundation. Free government cheese to go with Whine has not been the answer.
Grant writing, government jobs, get your "Obama Dollars" ....no personal responsibility. Help me. No help yourself to the trough. Work won't work in America now? There's your thesis,..... see you in Kalamazoo John, love to hear more from you in person.
Gene: I like your "by line" - Freedom and Liberty.
Would you consider adding one more word FREEDOM, LIBERTY & PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY (??)
I just wrote a 20 page thesis and realized that a person cannot experience true freedom and liberty ... without assuming personal responsibility.
No other form of government requires personal responsibility. We are rapidly sliding to a "socialist" government where personal responsibility is devalued.
IF you are available, Gene, I would be glad to review the thesis with you.

Tiger Woods Car Accident Links To Rachel Uchitel Affair No Joke
Well that didn't take long. Tiger Woods had barely been released from hospital after a serious car accident when jokes started circulating on in the internet about the Tiger Woods accident. Perhaps it's just a sign of the times--or a sign of the fact that Tiger Woods car accident turned out to be not too serious--but jokes and innuendos are being made about the Tiger Woods car accident.
Some Tiger Woods jokes were pretty basic (one popular one: Perhaps Tiger should have used a driver) Many jokes and comments, however, focused on rumors of Tiger Woods' alleged affair with Rachel Uchitel.
So who is Rachel Uchitel? It turns out she is a 34 year-old New Yorker with a history of dating married celebrities after she lost her fiancée in the September 11 terrorist attacks.
FOX Sports and Kansas City Star columnist Jason Whitlock was the first media figure to connect the Tiger Woods car accident with the Tiger Woods-Rachel Uchitel affair story.
Based on Natl Enquirer story, do we suspect Pussy Galore played a role in Tiger's 2 a.m. dash from the crib?
It could be argued that Jason Whitlock should be commended for, as Deadspin put it, saying what we've all been thinking. At the same time, there are precious few facts available about the Tiger Woods car accident and Tiger Woods affair and it's not exactly fair to connect the two in any real way.
Jason Whitlock, however, defended himself by simply saying:
hey, ray, you may not have heard. but i don't do politically correct. take it somewhere else.
UPDATE: It appears that Jason Whitlock may have had a point. TMZ has reported that the Tiger Woods accident occurred after an argument with wife Elin Nordegren, presumably over the rumored Tiger Woods-Rachel Uchitel affair. TMZ later posted a Tiger Woods injury update, which stated that Woods' injuries were caused by Nordegren not the car accident.

IPL 2013 Auction Sold Players List by Team
The IPL auction concluded in Chennai, and it saw quite a few surprises. The highest bid went to the unlikely Glen Maxwell who was snapped up by the Mumbai Indians for a cool $1 million, followed by Ajantha Mendis who fetched $725,000 from the Pune Warriors. Meanwhile Abhishek Nayar was the subject of a five-way bidding war and ultimately went to the Pune Warriors for $675,000.
Among the 37 players who were snapped up this season were Ricky Ponting and Michael Clarke who surprisingly only went for base price, Darren Sammy and Dirk Nannes.

It is, however, the lack of unity that has been one of the main features of many of the strategies.

Yesterday saw Google's entry into the Browser wars. Launched initially for Windows, later releases will include Mac and Linux/Unix-based software.
The SEO industry in particular has been abuzz with the launch, with many taking special time out of their day to test the new tool (Ref: Twitter – you know who you are).
However, what is the big deal?

July saw the much fan-fared launch of Cuil (pronounced cool), which so far, to many in the industry, hasn't quite lived up to the hype.
Billed as a potential Google killer and dubbed the "world's biggest search engine", the initial response has been lukewarm, with mixed reviews from many of the industry.
It certainly didn't help that the site went down shortly after launch and that general first impressions certainly haven't put Cuil in the same league as Google (or Yahoo and MSN for that matter).

There are a number of key services that are hot in the industry at the moment (and no, we aren't talking Twitter or social media services here), but online reputation management must be one of the hottest.
While it is enjoying somewhat of a boom in popularity, it is something that has been talked about within the industry for quite a while. However, it is one of those unfortunate services that sits as a hybrid.
