You think we're gonna have another -- them.
Oh I think we're going to have another meltdown if we did somebody went I can't you be precise date not -- of -- -- -- talk -- but I hope to build an eight.
All -- incentives everything that was broken about our financial system back in 2008 of having institutions that were just too big to fail.
And all the problems that -- got rid of that man today Patel doesn't exist we actually made it worse idol they're now twenty to 25% larger than they -- into -- -- America's on the brink or Citi -- on the brink.
You think we'll still rescue them.
I don't think there any serious person could have any serious question what about -- -- -- lose you know and the and the -- wells that they'll let -- submit these financial.
That that -- here we are -- that since we sell off when everything it's event.
You don't get through the -- -- -- completely unrealistic during a financial crisis that -- that wants to buy even.
Who's gonna assets will be who's gonna buy it in these these banks are so in multi trillion dollars you only the only -- -- possibly -- them is another multi trillion dollar institution.
And we know that their risk is all correlated in part because of the -- -- the regulations are set up so I mean it's it's a pipe -- -- headed down the exact same path we're in 2008.
But because of government policy and making these banks bigger and more dangerous than ever it's going to be an even bigger financial crisis I don't.

They have to look at the circumstances.
We we can't do this again again but I think what you did -- -- -- of course we do it.
The only way to prevent it from happening is to do something about it now.
In the midst of a crisis your options become very limited and if you're looking at staring into the abyss of a global tiznow crisis is what triggered down now right now you know even sandy -- -- did.
The former executive at Citi that sort of created the super bank model who led the fight against glass -- Which resulted in these mega banks has now turned as now changed so that America get rid of Merrill Lynch get rid of Merrill Lynch.
Only thing that should be left the bank America is commercial banking.
Borrowing lending straightforward out of it's gonna happen so another crisis is gonna and you know that's why I wrote this book you know I wrote this -- so the people can understand.
Just how under control.
On -- government has come under these banks with specific examples given that evidence so they can demand the necessary change that we need.
So that our government could work for us not for a group of Wall Street executives.

Posted: Jan 9, 2013 5:50 PM by Associated Press
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - The nation's largest teacher pension fund is taking the first step toward divesting from companies that manufacture guns and high-capacity magazines that are illegal in California.
The investment committee of the California State Teachers' Retirement System unanimously approved a motion by state Treasurer Bill Lockyer on Wednesday.
CalSTRS is invested in private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management, which owns the manufacturer of an assault rifle used in last month's Connecticut school massacre. The pension fund also owns shares of Sturm, Ruger & Co. and Smith & Wesson Holding Corp., two publicly traded gun manufacturers.
Those investments account for $11.7 million of the system's $155 billion portfolio.
Board member Harry Keiley says the fund has the power to change its investments. Staff will meet with the companies and return with recommendations.

For centuries, terrors have existed just outside our understanding. The public may know or even suspect creatures of the night exist, but millions have managed to go on with their lives, focusing on the mundane, the safe.

"When you have someone like you or me who doesn't intend to attack a flight, whether we have a Swiss Army knife in our pocket or not doesn't make any difference," said Ron, president of Virginia-based New Age Security Solutions and former head of security of Ben-Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, Israel.
"If you have somebody like one of the terrorists (who was involved in the 9/11 attacks) or a terrorist who is still out there, I'm not sure we'd want him to have even a Swiss Army knife," Ron said.
"Risk is not measured by the item, whether it is a knife or gun. It is measured by the person holding it. A bad guy with a Swiss Army knife can still cause a lot of damage to the crew and passengers in the cabin before the aircraft can land."
That potential for violence is part of what has flight attendants concerned.
Former flight attendant Tiffany Hawk is "stupefied" by the move, "especially since the process that turns checkpoints into maddening logjams -- removing shoes, liquids and computers -- remains unchanged," she wrote in an opinion column for CNN.
And Veda Shook, president of the Association of Flight Attendants, said the move is "completely unnecessary" and "makes no sense." Rather than freeing up time, she predicted that security officers will get more bogged down testing and measuring the knives to see if they meet the criteria.
The Flight Attendants Union Coalition, representing nearly 90,000 flight attendants, and the Coalition of Airline Pilots Associations, which represents 22,000 airline pilots, also oppose the rule change.
By Monday afternoon, more than 20,000 people had signed a petition to WhiteHouse.gov calling on the TSA to keep knives off of planes.
Traveler Emma Siemasko, a writer and blogger in Boston, sees "the flip-floppiness" of the TSA's policies as the real problem. "There are too many rules to follow and there also doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason."
Many travelers see rules that haven't been eased as bigger hurdles to the air travel experience: "I would prefer they get rid of the liquid restrictions. I'll leave my penknife at home," wrote a CNN reader. "But trying to find 3 oz bottles of everything and stuff them all into a quart baggie is a royal pain."

Customizing SMF > Modifications and Packages
Ignore User
Link to Mod
Alternative Link to Mod
This mod allows users to hide messages (the posts in the topics) from users you chose to ignore. Settings are based per user, every user has an ignore list of his/her own that doesn't affects other users.
You can see the documentation here
Other languages: upload the language file in the "Themes/default/languages" directory
Button PSD's: Button templates
Default buttons: The Full Set - Thanks to Tanya
Shomazta: The Full Set - Thanks to Shomazta
The 1.1 means the version of the mod, not the SMF. It works for all the versions you see checked on the download page.
I'll update the readme file, thanks for pointing it out.
About the ~Upper Head~ topic I don't know what to say, it wasn't me who created that topic.
The theme changes are made in the themes.xml.
It gives a failure proably because you have modified the default theme.
You can edit the package-info.xml and remove the
--- Code: --- <modification>themes.xml</modification>
--- End code ---
--- Code: --- <modification reverse="true">themes.xml</modification>
--- End code ---
But you will have to apply the modifications in your Display.template manually!
Let me know if you need help with that.
--- Quote from: gri on September 13, 2005, 06:01:36 AM --- As far as I can imagine
the correct scheme of work management around the mod..
the ~Upper Head~ topic of the Author of the Mod
should be Locked from others' posts

do you really want _this_ topic filled by others' questions ?
1. For the Ignored User
View Profile-, E-mail-, PM- icons
and other attributes of mini-profile
can be also hidden. I suppose. Why not ?
The single nickname instead of full set of user's attributes
plus the "Unignore button" are quite enough
to not use the additional reminder of that
"This user is currently ignored".
2. Subtitle of the post (together with the time/date)
is also the subject to be ignored.
3. Then Ignore button can be moved to the line
of other post buttons.
Well let it be just left adjusted.
4. Can the refresh of the topic screen
return to the display of that post
where the Ignore (Unignore) button was clicked ? -
Similar to as the usual topic display
when we come into the topic through the post link .
5. Is it possible to Ignore separate posts,
indifferently to its Author,
assuming the msg-number of a post
as a key for the Ignore list ?
6. It is also usefull to have a possibility
to remember Shown posts of Ignored user.
7. In general it is convenient to be empowered
to Hide(/Show) any post of not Ignored Poster,
at least for the topics which a User is subscribed to.
And to remember the status.
8. The better alternative :
the posts should have checkboxes
(and "check_user_to_be_ignored")
beside the common button "Save all checked boxes"
which would once refresh the screen and remember
the checked (unchecked) objects as ignored (unignored).
The checked (unchecked) posts could also be saved
when any of other buttons is clicked
which require an inevitable screen refresh.
In order to better understand the problem of saving
imagine the User
who needs a continuos period of time
to translate, analise posts, search arguments, etc.
prior to come to a conclusion of ignoring the post..
and also who read posts in offline.

I have always enjoyed having a small protein shake Preworkout (30 mins pre) breakdown is 20 p 20 c 3 f. I have read in several places this would interfere with the effectiveness of my Preworkout supplement, and in other places that the Preworkout shake is an important inclusion. what benefits of my Preworkout supplement will be effected by being taken alongside my shake? currently using Cellucor C4 and have 3 tubs of Enhanced on route to replace it.

Dacrocystocele with dacrocystitis and periorbital cellulitis
Edema/inflammatory changes within the left orbital subcutaneous tissues. Dilated fluid-filled left lacrimal sac and duct which display enhancing walls. No post septal inflammation or subperiosteal abscess.
A dacrocystocele is the second most common cause of neonatal nasal obstruction (second to choanal atresia). It occurs secondary to imperforate valves of Hasner (at the distal lacrimal duct) and results in a triad of cystic medial canthal mass, dilatation of the nasolacrimal duct and submucosal nasal cavity mass in the inferior meatus. Patients typically present with inner canthal swelling and epiphoria but if not detected or treated, periorbital cellulitis, dacrocystitis or even sepsis may occur. If large enough, it may also expand the nasal cavity causing respiratory distress. Treatment consists of duct massage or probing with relief of obstruction and antibiotics (if necessary). The differential for this case would include dacrocystocele, congenital nasolacrimal cyst or abscess. The differential for a medial nasoorbital mass includes meningocele, encephalocele and nasal gliomas. Contrast enhanced CT would be the modality of choice for initial evaluation. MR would primarily be useful for evaluation of a suspected medial nasoorbital mass.

How To Set Up A Facebook Welcome Page |
Tuesday, 24 January 2012 21:23 |
Your Facebook landing page (also known as your "welcome" page) is the first thing people see when they come to your Fan page. If a person goes to your Fan page and the first thing they see is your wall, they are much less inclined to engage with you or "like" your page than if the go to your landing page first. The reason is that your landing page can tell them exactly what you want them to do. You're landing page can list an offer that is more enticing because it is bright and colorful, it can point directly to the "like" button requesting that they become a Fan, or it can use video to excite viewers or encourage them to interact with your business. Thanks to applications like Static HTML, MyTab and iwiPage, it's easy to create a "reveal tab" welcome page. Check out the fan page for Hungry Microbes to see this in action. Here's how to set up a Facebook reveal tab welcome page. Static HTML1. Add the Static HTML Application to your Facebook PageGo to the Static HTML Application then click on "Go to App in the upper right. This will take you to the apps page. Once there, click on the" Add Static HTML To A Page" button. 2. Edit the "Welcome" TabHead over to your Facebook fan page, and find the "Welcome" link in the left-hand sidebar under the page image. You can create a regular custom tab by only filling in the top text box. Or, you can create a reveal tab by placing the pre-fan content in the top text box, and the fan-only content in the bottom text box. Your default content should be something that encourages users to like your Facebook page, possibly by using something like an incentive, discount, or exclusive content Your reveal content should provide your new fans with whatever you were offering, such as something to download, a discount code, or a link to the exclusive content. You might also want to thank people for liking your page. 3. Edit the Tab TitleGo to your Facebook page and click the "Edit Page" button on the top-right corner. Then click "Apps" on the sidebar. Then scroll down the page until you see the Static HTML application. Clicking "Edit Settings" will bring up a lightbox on which you can edit the name of your tab. Type in your tab's name, click "Save," and then click "Okay". 4. Make your Reveal Tab the Default TabYou'll want to make sure that your new reveal tab is the first thing that visitors see when they have not yet liked your Facebook page. To do this, go back to Edit Page, then click "Manage Permissions." In the Default Landing Tab dropdown, select your new reveal tab. Additional AppsMy TabGo to http://facebook.com/revealtab, and click on "Go to App". From there, simply click on the "Get Started" button and install. This application follows all the same steps as mentioned above but has an additional "HTML Tips" tab which offers some great help to those new to HTML coding. iwiPageiwiPage. This app offers several very short tutorials to help you get up and running as well as easy to use drag and drop scripts to easily upload images and content. No coding required. That's it! Some easy ways to set up an awesome welcome tab on your Facebook page that encourages people to like your page. |

Series: Evolution Basics (35 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"What did he think of the Greek notion of nature? Simply put, Boyle believed it was inappropriate—both theologically and scientifically—to speak of "Nature" doing anything at all."
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
"Where many scholars in previous generations simply assumed that Christianity and science have always been in conflict—and not just over evolution—recent scholarship has decisively debunked that view. The main message from today's historians is complexity, not conflict."
Today's Origins News Round-up takes us from some cosmic data on the possible existence of life elsewhere in the universe, to some surprising theories about the origin of life, and some interesting general news and editorial items on science and religion.
In this series, Ryan Pettey offers several clips from his powerful documentary "From the Dust". This feature-length film is divided up into various sections, each of which wrestles with the difficult problems that arise when reconciling Scripture with the theory of evolution. A light of hope dawns on the science-faith conversation, however, as scientists and theologians engage in honest dialogue about tough issues such as the interpretation of Genesis, the nature of the Fall, and the idea of random design. Their profound insights are sure to enlighten all minds, raise deeper questions, and provoke new thought.
Where is human evolution going? Where has human evolution been? A roundup of stories from the past few weeks.
This week in the news: a new conversation about rifts in the Christian church (sponsored by the Colossian Forum), a 46-million-year-old fossilized mosquito turns up in a Montana lake, and more…
This entry was originally posted on February 17, 2010. In this video conversation, Jeff Schloss makes the observation that when we use the term "evolution", it is not always exactly clear what we are actually discussing unless we denote the intended usage.
Astrobiology is the field of inquiry about the origin of life on our planet and the possibility of life elsewhere in the universe. Making a comeback is the theory that life began on Mars and emigrated from there to Earth via meteorites dislodged by collisions with asteroids.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Join astrobiologist Stephen Freeland for a look into the nature of information and the origins of life on earth. (These posts were originally published as a paper in the ASAs academic journal, PSCF, and are reprinted here with permission.)
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
This series features excerpts from biologist Sean Carroll's book, Endless Forms Most Beautiful: The New Science of Evo Devo, a well-wrought account of how the field of evolutionary development biology, or Evo Devo, has shaped our understanding of how animals evolve, by studying their development.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
What do today's pastors think about science? What views do they hold on creation and evolution and how strongly do they hold them? How do origins issues impact their ministries? These were just a few of the questions that motivated us at BioLogos to commission a survey of pastors on origins
Is the contemporary theory of evolution an example of good science? Biologist Michael Buratovich explore this question in a well-researched two part essay.

Most helpful review
Good Action - can't wait for MI:3
By a customer from Northamptonshire , 14 Feb 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
Great update of the 70's series.
Tom Cruise is great as Ethan Hawk. As he now seems to have a hand in the majority of his film choices with his own production company, the man is almost unable to make a bad film.
The stunt work on this film was dangerous and arduous - and the care taken to make these scenes as perfect as possible really shows.
With regard to the poor review listed for this film - I can only conclude that they were watching the original!!!!!
I thought that the supporting cast were actually good on the whole - but the problem of acting on the same screne as Cruise is that if you are not in his league - then I'm afraid that you will pale in comparison. Having been in the game myself, I think that the old saying of 'Never work with children and animals' (because they are usually scene stealers) should also include the rare breed of actor - like Cruise - because by god you have got to be good to score 'evens' never mind actually win a point!!!! Oh, and by the way, I'm not particulally a Cruise fan - but I'm honest enough to give credit where credit is due!
Well worth watching. More please.- Was this review helpful to you?

By 316wwe (42 reviews) from Wembley , 29 Jul 2012I was never going to watch this because I cannot stand Tom Cruise but then someone said I should forget about that and just watch it.
I must say that I really enjoyed this first installment so much that I cannot wait for the rest of the films.
I have realized that it's not always the actor but the films.- Was this review helpful to you?

American Harvest Restaurant
Online Reservations
Run by a fine culinary school. Great food, and the servers are eager to please. Deserts are works of art and more delicious than you can imagine.
Food was great, beautifully presented and reasonably priced.
My husband and I always enjoy eating at your restaurant. Great food and service. We especially enjoy those delicate, yummy desserts. The person who waited on us was very pleasant.
I always enjoy dining at American Harvest. The students have never disappointed - excellent service and the food is always wonderful.
I called to increase my reservation by one person and was denied. Our group of coworker have dined with you before. Another coworker was inteested in joining us. It was very disappointing to have to deny that one person joining us.
Always a great meal and outstanding desserts. Fun to see the students learning. Prices so reasonable that they're almost cheap for the quality of food. Excellent presentation.
Food was outstanding, presentation was very appealing.
This is at Schoolcraft college so times are infrequent. If you have a chance to eat here, you won't be disappointed. The students do a great job and really want you try their different foods. Great time.
This was our first time here. We made the reservation because my son will be attending the Schoolcraft Culinary Arts Program in the fall. The entire experience was outstanding! I have already recommended it to a number of people. We will be back.
American Harvest Restaurant is part of the Culinary Arts Program at Schoolcraft College. The menu is limited because of this. The entrees offered depend upon the current course of study. The food on the day of our visit was tasty, but not items I normally order at restaurants. Presentation of the entrees was outstanding. Dessert choices were amazing and tasty.
This restaurant is run by the Schoolcraft College Culinary Institute. My first visit - one of the best meals I have had in Detroit. Food and service were perfect. We had the sauteed perch, the rock cornish hen, and bread pudding - flawless.
It was a wonderful dining experience with more choices than anyone could imagine and can't wait to go back again!
Every thing was excellent, but the service of the waiting person was rather poor.
I try to come to this restaurant as much as possible. Everything is great. Due to the lack of exposure, I may not know how some food should taste.
After only being open one day after summer break, our wait person was excellent. Food is always marvelous here. We have been here many times and will be here again!
As a first timer, I thoroughly enjoyed the experience of dining on foods prepared by the culinary students, and overseen by the executive chef. Everything was very good. The deserts were also exceptional. While this was our first time, it won't be our last.
Food is great. We can always get unique menu items. There is a great desser selection and it is "out of this world".
My son and I enjoyed tasting all the different foods at the buffet. they were all delicious and there was a large variety of food to try
This is a hidden gem! The salad selections and desserts were especially good! Everything included in one price-a great treat, especially if you are celebrating a special occasion!
The food was excellent! This restaurant is a hidden gem. My husband and I kept exclaiming how wonderful everything looked and tasted. We will definitely come back and tell others to try it as well.
I guess for me when hearing about American Harvest I always heard of the great food. Which is true. Food was delicious and prepared to the highest quality. The other expectation was that it was a sit down restaurant. Which was not the case. Food was served buffet style. Which made me slightly disappointed.
My son and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch. Presentation( cucumbers and potatoes were spherical), quality (fish and pork were flavorful) and service(manners and smiles) were excellent! Was surprised at the $34 bill for lunch but that included lunch, drinks (coffee) and dessert.(chocolate, cashew apple pie and tableside "Bananas Foster") This will be a "special" place to dine.
I had such a great experience at American Harvest Restaurant! The food was amazing, and came out so fast! We had the green goddes salad, the flank steak, and bananas foster for dessert, which the students made for us right at the table! The food is made by the culinary students and the waitstaff are culinary students as well. I must say, i had a great experience! Our waiter was very kind and checked up on us frequently. Everything was perfect and the prices are great too. For a place where the students make the food AND serve you, it honestly could not be better. Highly recommend this place for any person who loves good food and great service at an awesome price!
What a delightful way to spend an afternoon with friends! The food was delicious, service immpeccible and beautiful atmosphere.
We loved being able to sample foods that we normally would never order! Deserts were to die for!
First time diner at American Harvest and was not disappointed. Staff was very pleasant and knowledgeable. Wonderful experience.
Wonderful start to the student's semester. Great variety of well presented salad, entree and desserts.
Schoolcraft College has an excellent culinary school. The food is great, with a limited menu which includes an entree salad, chicken, seafood, or meat. There's something for everyone. The desserts are to die for, especially at $3.95 each. They are on display as you enter the restaurant. Your tip is put toward a scholarship fund as all chefs and waitstaff are students at the school. The hours are limited so check before going. Try it!
I have never had a bad meal there. You can't go wrong going there. It is an enjoyable experience - great food / service.
The staff at this restaurant are all aspiring chefs in the school's culinary arts program. They all do all things to learn to run a restaurant as week as cook in one. So the wait staff is working and learning. The menu changes every day, and some days are more to my taste than others (which sometimes gives me a push to be more adventurous in my eating). But two things always wonderful are the multigrain bread and the dessert bar. You walk by the desserts as you are lead to your table and it is a good idea to pick out your favorite as you walk by and order it even before your lunch to make sure it gets saved for you (at least at lunch, which is the only time I've been there). It's great for birthday celebrations.
Culinary Arts School at its finest. Fresh food priced for a great value. Awesome desserts!! Great spot for a lunch or dinner!!
Four of us ate at American Harvest on Oct 18. My husband and I had poached rainbow trout which was delicious. One person had a shepherd's pie with rabbit and there was not a drop of food left. The fourth person had pork and loved it. We all went to the dessert display and chose four different desserts which were all delicious. The restaurant was crowded and service was good.
First time experience was a very plesant one all the way around. I will definitly plan a return visit
So many selections of food to choose. All were wonderful was great dinning.
We wanted to offer a dear friend a nice lunch for her birthday. We were very pleased with all aspects of our experience at American Harvest. Of course, the spectacular desserts were a great finish to our luncheon experience.
The menu is always outstanding and the service high energy
Everyone (10 guests) was pleased with their experience. However, two guests felt they had to send back their meal because it was too cold. When the meal came back, the plate was hot but food was not really any warmer.
Went there on a cold rainy afternoon and the whole experience was perfect in all areas: ambience, service, and food. Would highly recommend this experience regardless if you have an afternoon to kill or just a short time for lunch.
We were very excited about this restaurant in that it is run by students at Schoolcraft College. This food was good. The desserts were wonderful. However, we were a little taken aback about the food choices. We thought the fare was a little heavy for lunch time.
Very nice table setting. Waitstaff friendly, professional. All dishes nice presentation. Veal very tender sauce complimented it well. Chicken dish perfect comfort food. Vegetables perfect, not overcooked. Dessert selections fabulous. Had lemon panna cotta delicious and beautiful. We'll be back.
Menu was buffet this evening. Lots of choices but hot food was not particularly hot
The menu is small, but the food was well prepared, well plated and very tasty. I ordered perch and it was cooked perfectly. Service is formal and very careful, but a bit intrusive. I look forward to going back, however, as the food was great. The desserts are practically works of art and tasted even better than they look!
The options from the salad bar to the dessert were wonderful. There were 7 of us, and we all loved the samon and the duck. There were so many dessert choices, the lemon cake was so tasty. The American Harvest is a winner. I will recommend to friends.
We enjoyed our lunch very much. The food, the decor and the staff all make for a very pleasant dining experience. The vegetarian choice on the menu was delicious and the desserts (were there 20 desserts to choose from or even more?) were 5 star standard. We will back.
Had lunch with dad after an early movie at AMC Theater. Seating was quick and easy. Service was super and friendly. Drinks were filled all the time, without asking. Description and knowledge of menu was exactly what you want from service. Totally pleased with the plating (4 stars out of 4). Taste of food hit the mark. Dessert was the right size and tasty! Only disappoint is with myself for not eating here more often!
The served food was o.k., but not outstanding as they usually were. Too long a wait for serving the ordered lunch, e.g., more than 30 minutes. The service of waitress's was rather slow, although she seemed have tried hard to do a good job.
Our lunch experience was outstanding in every way. The menu selections offered enough variety to satisfy every taste; the presentation and portion size were excellent and the food was delicious. Don't get me started on the desserts -- just let me say, "Save room!" Our waiter was both knowledgeable and attentive, making us feel most welcome. We are looking forward to having dinner there in the near future.
the theme for the evening was Latin/ south American, we were concerned that the food would be too hot and spicy but our fears were unfounded. I had tripe soup with hominy, saveeche scallops , grilled shrimp,mole chicken,many other nice dishes and deserts.
It was a huge embarassment for me personally when I scheduled ONLINE for 12/03/13, the latest date available, and my friend didn't believe it and was able to get a reservation by PHONE for 12/13/13, leaving me looking like a fool. How is it possible that she got the date I asked for about a week after I tried to schedule it? PS I cancelled my reservation for 12/03 as soon as I got word that my friend's effort succeeded, so I don't know why this request for review of the cancelled 12/03/13 date was sent to me in the first place.
I visited American Harvest with 3 others for Asian night. I am a foodie but not typically an adventurous one so this Asian night forced me outside of my box. The entrees tasted very good although not necessarily attractive. Thankfully there were four of us so we went full force at the dessert table. We literally had at least one, if not two, of everything so we can try everything.

Technology Transfer Sponsored by
Researchers from the The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich and the University of Lyon have developed a gene therapy method using the apple metabolite phloretin and a gene network encapsulated in algal gelatin capsules.
The alginate capsules were produced with living cells and contained a specially designed genetic network that produced secreted alkaline phosphatase (SEAP). Researchers implanted the capsules under the skin of test mice, then topically applied a specifically formulated test skin cream.
The skin cream was formulated with commercial milk fat and mixed with phloretin. The researchers chose phloretin, an antioxidant found in apples and used in cosmetics as an antiwrinkle agent, because it is known to make cell walls more permeable. Upon application of the cream, the phloretin was found to penetrate the skin, the gel capsules, and the cells contained within; thus, the encapsulated gene was released from the capsule in a precise dose and was stimulated into action, expressing its relevant activity.
As the researchers hypothesized, phloretin reduced the production of the protein. They also believe that a large dose of phloretin in the cream could stop the production of SEAP altogether.
This method was patented and researchers anticipate that the pharmaceutical industry will be interested in further developing the principle. This form of gene therapy reportedly puts no strain on the liver because it acts locally. Also, since phloretin is a molecule that can be found in everyday food, it undergoes rapid degradation in the body. Finally, implants can be stored in the body for a relatively long period of time and are easily removed after the end of therapy or in the event of complications.
