I was so great -- -- who was less than five feet away.
From Oscar the story as while all of this played out in the courtroom -- what can you tell us from in that.
Mark bill amazing stuff again I was just a couple feet away from Oscar the story is when the word came down that in fact.
He was free on bail he started to cry uncontrollably behind them is families yelled out a -- of cheer they clearly saw this as -- at this at at least a small victory.
The the accused was then I'll -- off and then the family continue to to cheer and -- each other.
I left them as they were in an embrace a circle embrace like I spoke to a few with a family and friends and they said they were happy they were gratified but this was a long -- -- sure you've been explaining to our viewers we were in -- hot sweaty court -- and -- -- -- known to be methodical certainly took his time going through piece by piece through the evidence.
Through his arguments through the case and finally coming to the conclusion that in fact.
Bail should be granted to the story is that he did not.
Represent a flight risk as he called it he did not represent a risk to other individuals and it would not impede the case but in fact it took a long time to get to that point and the -- made a lot of other points as well.
The key issue about whether or not this shooting this death.
Of -- -- of Revis being camp the former girlfriend while the story as.
That was still left open in -- the judge saying that while he was less inclined.
They think that it was pre meditated murder in fact it was not his position to decide whether it was he would keep -- in what is called category six here in south African law and it would be the would be -- job of a trial judge to decide whether in fact is premeditated murder but he would perceive all on Wal-Mart along those lines he did.
Pick apart the case of a detective -- that was the lead detective in the case up until about all day and a half ago.
Time and time again he said the evidence gathering was sloppy but that he came around and said it.
Not detective book that is the state case that case is still out.
Out there and then point by point by point by point he said he had troubles with the various aspects of the story being put out.
By the defense.
For the story as the actions on the night -- the early morning hours on Valentine's Day which left the slain girl in the slain woman.
In that the bathroom again.
I was very close to the story is in the courtroom again only just a couple of feet away I kept glancing over to him.
And he lost composure again and again and again.
Is his head was down first downcast and then literally in his hands when the judge went through the events of that tragic night.
When he -- recounted.
Eyewitnesses and friends of the story is talking about the relationship with -- camp he was crying he was he was clearly worked up.
There was an adjournment date in the in the case in the in the hearing for the judge to leave for a moment and that.
-- two composed through some degree.
The accused he came back out and heard this decision on the bail that that by the way the mechanics of that as this that should be -- happening in the next couple of hours.
It will be processed here and we're waiting for the details of exactly -- he will be -- -- but but.
I'm on from a short range standpoint family and friends telling me that they are gratified by the decision on bail on the longer range standpoint that is the state of the case against the story is still a lot of questions a lot of doubts raised by this methodical judge in this lengthy conclusion -- this bail hearing Martha.
Today it is so striking -- as you say.
That judge laid out in very clear terms why he thought that the defense's story does not hold up.
Why it was in implausible improbable that the way that the defense is describing what happened that night could be -- And yet and then he went together and piece together and that the problems with detective both as an investigation.
I and it and it felt -- because they could not establish a violent past for the story yes.
-- a history of this kind of behavior and because they cannot prove.
That what happened that night AE it is as it might appear that that prompted this judge to say in that gives me no reason not to allow -- to be out on bail.
-- what about the question of you know what happens now you know what kind of restrictions will be on Oscar -- stories as he waits for his trial.
Do they have a speedy trial system in South Africa or is -- something that's gonna drag on you know indefinitely before we see in back in court.
Martha from legal exercises picking through this will drag on they don't see an actual trial.
In this matter although it seems like there's been a trial here the last couple days at least for many many months if not maybe until the end of this year and that was probably one of the big arguments for allowing the story -- to be granted bail.
The prisons and South Africa are rough conditions in these cells -- off.
Crime is -- here and I think that weighed on the judge's mind heavily that the story is and one of -- south African prisons for 678.
Months waiting for the trial to start all that could raise even more problems yes he will be under -- to supervision tight restrictions we know where he's going to be he's going to be at a at a family home there will be tabs on him.
It on his movements but going into this hearing -- I was basically told that it looked like the judge would grant the -- but once again for our viewers -- -- underscore.
I think the judge -- underscore this to.
This does not in any -- you really make a decision make a judgment on the case that in -- again -- -- time and time again thought that there were all sorts of problems with the version of events that the stories his lawyers a laid out again 6789.
Times the judge said he had problems with that.
At the same time yes he was pretty fair and and pretty balanced on this matter at the same time he took a part time and time again.
The initial work.
By the state I think basically now we say Martha that South Africa has to get down to business and really put some top investigators on this and create a case at at and what I've been told by legal experts is the forensic evidence is not in the autopsy.
Evidence the ballistic all of this is still to come.
All of this potentially.
Potentially damaging -- Yes so many details -- -- think about the angle of the bullets in the way they went into that door and whether or not that determines if he.
Had his prosthetic -- not at the time or not and whether that custody issue.
Premeditation perhaps in what was going on we heard.
You know -- -- about how she was dressed in street clothes when she was in there which doesn't back up the story of you know a couple asleep in bed and hearing somebody.
Sending go bump in the night in another ram and and causing them to to fear.
One more question that I have for you Greg is just in terms of the the trial when it does happen.
It will be to a trial judge but just so everyone understands here at home.
There won't be a jury in this case to convince.
That's a fascinating point you're -- you're crazy market you're absolutely right.
There is no tradition no system of -- jury trial in this country is one judge one judge alone.
Perhaps with some assistance but he's the one -- deciding things and so we all up to one person.
And if that person has one inclination or another in the nation who knows that could weigh in on on a trial as well but you're right it is it is not a jury trial it is the state presenting their cases -- defense presented -- case I could tell you from sitting in that courtroom for a couple of days that defense team is top notch and -- they can -- any holes and in the State's case.
They will they will looked at that but but.
Initially point Martha withdrew workers race to me that -- the fact that the lead detective was bounced from the case the fact that the detective both was disparaged by the defense team.
That might come back to haunt the defense team I am told by by one insider they might have now South Africa's law enforcement agency.
Completely focused on this -- The chances they will make as many mistakes as we saw in the past couple days perhaps lesson month.
Got a couple things -- crossing here one is that he has been ordered to avoid his home.
To avoid the witnesses in this case to surrender his passports.
Is it conversion.
On that bale comes out to about 28000 dollars which seems rather low considering.
What he's been accused of here.
And then means that he has so.
It did this has been an extraordinary.
Warning in this whole case.
Greg thank you very much -- and when I graduated.

F A+F Health & Safety: They do absolutely nothing. Bad experiences here.
D A+F Off-Campus Housing: Off campus housing is run down and pretty bad
A A+F Greek Life: Greek life plays a very big role at West Chester. There is one fraternity house on the corner of campus and the rest are off campus chapter houses. Greek students tend to be a little stuck up, and a lot of them are private school kids. If you are male and not in a fraternity, you WILL have a sub-par social life. The problem with WCU's social structure is that there is no alternative better than the school's Greek life. Not only is there no better alternative, but there really aren't any interesting alternatives at all. People try to create their own social activities, but the non-frat parties tend to be either fairly exclusive or lower-budget and lame. You can always invite girls and guys to your room/apartment, but do you really want to do that for 4 years?
B A+F Guys & Girls: Greek students are preppy and the rest are middle class.
B A+F Athletics: We have a good football team.
B A+F Diversity: Like any other campus, diversity is a good thing.
B A+F Campus Housing: I do not live on or near campus. I am a commuter from about an hour away.
B A+F Overall Experience: My school is part of the state public university system, so it was much more affordable than any of my other options. The campus is beautiful and the faculty are very intelligent and helpful. There is plenty to do off-campus. There are hundreds of clubs to be involved with, and greek life is prominent.
C A+F Off-Campus Housing: The rent is way too expensive and the available locations are almost always rather run-down. The proximity to campus is convenient, but the closer you get, the higher the cost. Parking depends on the landlord. Most people park on the street. Some have driveways or backyard parking.
C A+F Local Atmosphere: Small town charm with lively downtown, plenty of restaurants and bars, close to several shopping areas and malls, civilian residents can be very aggressive towards college students (went through local government to turn several streets into one-ways in order to reduce traffic on residential streets)
B A+F Facilities: It is a great campus! Aesthetically appealing and has a good vibe!
B A+F Campus Strictness: You will feel safe on campus. If you want to get away with something, you may be able to find a way, but if you aren't taking part, you'll have no issues.
B A+F Local Atmosphere: Overall, it is a great atmosphere! A quaint town, close proximity to Philadelphia, and enough activities to keep it fresh.
C A+F Off-Campus Dining: From what I've experienced, the situation as a whole is what you'd find at an average campus. The town surrounding is very nice though, and there are lots of options.
C A+F Drug Safety: There are busts, and people stay safe while drinking. It is mostly social drinking rather than dangerous types. If you choose not to, they won't look down on you.
C A+F Greek Life: I'm not that familiar with the Greek life, but from what I've heard, it is easy to get into and beneficial.
B A+F Overall Experience: Many friendly people, and the ability to get involved if you want to.
B A+F Athletics: Free tickets for students, and many come and support!
C A+F Weather: I rains quite often. Often windy, but overall, the weather is fair. Some cold days, some hot, but usually somewhere lopsided either way.
B A+F Off-Campus Housing: Many options, so you have the ability to choose.
C A+F Parking: The parking along the street fills up insanely fast and is metered. Permits cost money and don't always guarantee a spot.
B A+F Computers: There isn't any wireless in traditional dorms, but just about everywhere else on campus has access!
C A+F Nightlife: You can commonly see drunk people around campus on weekends. It is unprofessional, but I guess a lot of colleges have the same problems...
B A+F Transportation: Easy access and well informed!
C A+F Academics: its like every school it depends on your professor i have a philosophy class which is killing me but anyone else taking philosophy isnt having such a hard time

The body mass index (BMI) has become the most-used means of determining whether we are overweight or not, supposedly by measuring our body fat. Plug your height and weight into a BMI calculator and you'll get a quick and dirty "definitive" answer. But where did BMI come from and how useful is it really?
BMI was invented in the 1800's by a Belgian polymath named Adolphe Quetelet. It's a mathematical calculation dividing a person's weight by the square of his/her height. He was doing social research on what the "average man" looked like. His research had nothing to do with health. He was researching a lot of things, like a man's arm strength or the age he marries.
The "pioneers" studying and pushing BMI for profit? Insurance companies. In the early 1900's, motivated by their bottom line, life insurance companies started doing studies of BMI to show overweight people were more likely to have health problems and die earlier to show their policy holders.
In 1972 a professor and researcher named Ancel Keys published his paper "Indices of Relative Weight and Obesity." He examined height-weight formulas and determined Quetelet's was the best. Keys gave Quetelet's formula the name "body mass index."
BMI caught on. Instead of being used as studies of population health, doctors began using it as a quick way to measure body fat. But Keys had actually warned in his paper against using BMI for individuals diagnoses, since the equations ignores a lot of other variables, like exercise and ailments like high blood pressure. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) notes that BMI is only one factor to consider in determining weight problems:
BMI is used as a screening tool to identify possible weight problems for adults. However, BMI is not a diagnostic tool. For example, a person may have a high BMI. However, to determine if excess weight is a health risk, a healthcare provider would need to perform further assessments. These assessments might include skinfold thickness measurements, evaluations of diet, physical activity, family history, and other appropriate health screenings. Continue reading

That is the only statement that I could begin this post with. I have never been high on Ponder, but I will admit I started to have some faith after the week three win over San Fran and boy was that a mistake. Since his good start Ponder has morphed into Blaine Gabbert. He looks skittish, lost, nervous, and just plain awful. When he is on the field, he looks like a deer caught in the headlights it is as if everything is moving too fast for him which is fine for a rookie but he has over a full season of starts.
Ponder has a great running game, outstanding TE's, an average OL (replace Loadholt and Johnson and I will say good), and at wr we have a great balance in Harvin as a slot/explosive, Jenkins for possession, and Simpsonin the flanker role. I believe if we replaced Jenkins with a STUD wide out(Dwayne Bowe comes to mind) we would have a top 5 offense up there with Green bay, Atlanta, Houston, New England and those powerhouses. Our limitation can only be Ponder I wanted to like him I tried an then I REALLY tried but he just keeps letting me down. His supporters will say its only his second year which is true, but that is the only reason for optimism because he hasn't shown any on the field. There is a chance Musgrave could be a part of the problem, his play calling is god awful and he doesn't seem to call plays that will allow Ponder to really get the ball down field, but Ponder has also shown inability to throw short and intermediate routes.
I feel like I should put a disclaimer to begin this paragraph: I am not saying Ponder is done and we should draft a new quarterback but I am going to say my opinion. I am afraid to say we may be stuck with the next Alex Smith, a semi-bust but every year he just barely shows enough to keep him around for another year and not spend a pick on a new quarterback. I think the Vikings do need certain positions(#1 Wr, OG, DT, LB) bad enough to where there is no chance of getting another quarterback in the first 4 rounds of the draft this year so Ponder will be the guy next year too but what if he doesn't show any ability to lead this team into the playoffs?

SALINAS, Calif.- Police arrested Phillip Mendes Sparks last year during a big gang bust.
He's a Salinas business owner and the highest ranking Nuestra Familia gang member on the Central Coast, who's not in prison. His trial is nearly two years in the making, but there's a reason it's taking so long.
Opertion street sweep put phillip mendes sparks on the map for all of you---but inside the gang under world sparks had already made a name for himself as the salinas regiment commander of the military-like structure of the nuestra familia.
The owner of Forbidden XTC on West Market St., Sparks was the go between for the gang leaders in prison and the soilders on the streets, the nortenos.
Sparks has been in federal court over a dozen times since he was arrested in August of last year, and the case against him seemed to go nowhere.
He is scheduled to be in court again in February of next year, and it's all because of a different case.
The U.S. Attorney's Office declined an interview Monday, but sent a copy of the other case as an explanation saying "this is a Nuestra Familia gang drug trafficking conspiracy and a fairly big case with many defendants and a lot of evidence."
The case is against five of the highest ranking NF members. Basically, both cases will be rolled into one.
Not only Sparks but Armando Valle who was arrested in Watsonville the same day, and is the regiment commander for Santa Cruz, will be a part of a much larger case.
So far the U.S. Attorney's Office have 209 DVDs and CDs, over 19,000 pages of evidence, and close to 40 wire taps recorded.

Signal intensity in proton magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) depends on several factors including the local environment of a proton, density of protons in a tissue, and the sequence of radiofrequency (RF) and gradient pulses used to generate the magnetic resonance signal. The local environment of a proton affects relaxation, that is, the rate of return to equilibrium of proton magnetization after perturbation by a RF pulse. At equilibrium, net proton magnetization is in the longitudinal axis. With an applied RF pulse, longitudinal magnetization decreases and there is some magnetization in the transverse plane. The longitudinal and transverse components of proton magnetization then return to equilibrium with different time constants. Longitudinal magnetization recovers at a rate determined by the average T1 relaxation time of the tissue. Tissues with short T1 recover a greater portion of their longitudinal magnetization within a given time period, and tend to have a higher signal intensity than tissues with a longer T1. After an RF pulse, transverse magnetization de-creases because of spin-spin relaxation, or dephasing, and is described by the T2 relaxation time.
In MRI, differences in tissue relaxation can be translated into differences in image contrast. Each tissue has unique T1 and T2 relaxation times that are affected by both the internal biochemical environment as well as the external environment. Internal factors that affect proton relaxation include motion, chemical shift, and blood flow. External factors include external field strength, magnetic field inhomogeneity, and the use of exogenous contrast agents. For example, T1 relaxation time varies with magnetic field strength (Larmor frequency) to a much greater degree than does T2 relaxation time, to such an extent that T2 is often considered to be independent of field strength. 1
Magnetic resonance (MR) contrast agents act by enhancing T1 and/or T2 relaxation rates for a given tissue type in a particular environment. Materials can be distinguished based on their inherent magnetic properties. Paramagnetic agents are materials that have no intrinsic magnetic field, but, when placed within an external field, can augment that field by alignment of its dipoles. Examples of paramagnetic materials are copper, iron, and manganese. Superparamagnetic materials are small particles that can act as single magnetic domains. A collection of these particles, when placed within an external magnetic field, enhance that field to a greater degree than do paramagnetic materials.
The affinity of a material for magnetization is termed susceptibility, with the magnitude and vector of the induced magnetic field dependent on the characteristics of the material. Relaxivity is a term used to describe the energy exchange that occurs when excited protons in water molecules return to a state of equilibrium more quickly when within the sphere of influence of paramagnetic materials. 2 Selective enhancement may be based on differences in biodistribution and residence times of the contrast agent within a particular tissue. This allows a very small amount of contrast material to affect a large number of protons. Compared to iodinated contrast media doses, MR contrast doses are relatively small.
The most commonly used intravenous (IV) MR contrast media are agents that enhance T1 relaxation times. All have metal ions that contain one or more unpaired electrons. These metal ions are either part of a metal-chelate compound, such as gadolinium diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid (DTPA) or are contained within a macromolecular ligand. When T1 contrast agents are used, tissue water diffuses into the sphere of influence of the metal ion and the relaxed water is then exchanged with bulk tissue water, resulting in a rapid relaxation of tissue water in the vicinity of the contrast agent. In this way, a very small amount of contrast agent can exert a large influence on tissue longitudinal magnetization.
Other T1 contrast media use manganese as the metal ion, usually chelated with dipyridoxylethylenediamine diacetate bisphosphate (DPDP). This complex is specific for hepatocellular uptake.
Gadolinium DTPA (GdDTPA) is the most commonly used IV T1 contrast agent. GdDTPA is the meglumine salt of diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, and acts by enhancing the relaxation rates of protons in its vicinity, having its greatest effect on T1 relaxation time. The usual dosage is 0.1 mmol/kg. GdDTPA is excreted primarily by glomerular filtration, and has a half-life of 90 minutes. Excretion is slower in patients with renal failure, but this does not increase the incidence of adverse side effects as there is no associated nephrotoxicity. The incidence of minor side effects is 1.5% with the most commonly reported effects being headache, symptoms at the injection site, and nausea. Death is rare with a reported incidence of 1 in 2,500,000. 3
T2 contrast agents are iron oxides and other materials that can form tiny particles called nanoparticles measuring 10 -9 meters (1 nanometer [nm]). These nanoparticles share electron fields, and produce large magnetic fields in the MR scanner magnet. Superparamagnetic agents have greater magnetic moment than paramagnetic agents, and their biodistribution is affected by particle characteristics including material, crystalline symmetry, core size, and coating.
A particle smaller than 15 nm can act as a single magnetic domain, and can create a large magnetic gradient that produces local field inhomogeneity. Diffusion of water protons through these gradients results in rapid dephasing of spin, and leads to a relative shortening of T2 relaxation times. Surface coatings affect biodistribution, a well-known feature of scintigraphic agents. It is possible to target agents to specific body tissues as a result. Superparamagnetic agents have a powerful effect on the relaxation times of targeted tissues, making it possible to use only small amounts. This is beneficial from a toxicity standpoint. 3
The inherent toxicity of native metal ions necessitates careful chelation. Gadolinium chelates have been used since the 1980s, and the adverse reaction rate has been reported in the 3% range. 4 Most reactions are categorized as minor; however anaphylactoid, severe asthmatic, and even fatal reactions have been reported. 4 There is no appreciable difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among the four approved gadolinium agents currently in use (gadopentetate meglumine, gadoteridol, gadodiamide, and gadoterate meglumine). 4 The incidence of adverse reactions is somewhat higher with the single manganese chelate (7% to 17%) and the larger ferumoxide particles (15%) than with gadolinium agents. 4 In the United States, IV administration of contrast agents is not approved for use in children under 2 years of age; however, off-label use of contrast is common in these children. 5 In European countries, approval for use of IV contrast in children under 2 years of age is more common, and there is no reported increase in incidence of adverse reactions in the younger pediatric group. 6
Extracellular magnetic agents are excreted in breast milk, and cross the placenta and are excreted by the fetal kidneys. These agents are therefore category C, not proven safe for use in pregnant or lactating women. They can be used in patients with diminished renal function as they are partially dialyzable, however, agents designed for the hepatobiliary and reticuloendothelial systems have an intracellular biodistribution and as such can be considered to be of greater potential harm.
Cardiac and vascular anomalies --Many congenital anomalies of the heart and great vessels require early detection and surgical repair in the neonatal period. Abnormal development of the aortic arch and the great vessels can result in a variety of symptoms related to extrinsic pressure or shunt vascularity. Arch anomalies can also be largely asymptomatic. Obviously, the more symptomatic lesions are detected earlier in infancy. 7-9
An aberrant right subclavian artery is the most common arch anomaly, occurring when the proximal part of the right fourth embryonic vascular arch is absorbed rather than the distal part. The aberrant right subclavian artery runs posteriorly from the descending thoracic aorta on its path to the right arm, passing behind the esophagus and causing a typical indentation. This anomaly is usually asymptomatic and may be an incidental finding on a barium swallow esophagram. 10
A right-sided aortic arch occurs when the distal fourth arch is absorbed on the left instead of on the right (figure 1). This may result in mirror image or non-mirror image reversal of the great vessel origins. A right arch can be asymptomatic, but is commonly associated with tetralogy of Fallot and truncus arteriosus.
The more symptomatic anomalies typically result from vascular rings formed around the trachea and esophagus. These are seen with a double aortic arch (figure 2) formed when there is no absorption of any part of the embryonic fourth vascular arch. The right arch causes compression posteriorly on the esophagus as it passes behind to join the left arch. Both left and right arches cause lateral indentation of the trachea and esophagus. The descending aorta is usually left sided, but can be right sided with a retroesophageal left arch. A constricting ring can also be formed with a right-sided aortic arch and a left-sided patent ductus arteriosus or ligamentum arteriosum, causing indentations on the esophagus and trachea similar to those seen with a double arch.
Obstructive aortic anomalies can be divided into diffuse or localized narrowing of the aorta. Diffuse narrowing is usually associated with some degree of arch hypoplasia, formerly known as preductal coarctation, in the region of the aortic isthmus. In severe cases, this may result in complete interruption of the arch and is frequently associated with devastating congenital cardiac defects. 7-9 A localized juxtaductal or postductal coarctation (figure 3) can be seen as an isolated anomaly, but is also associated with bicuspid aortic valve (85%), aberrant subclavian arteries, ventricular septal defects, patent ductus arteriosus, berry aneurysms of the circle of Willis, and Turner's syndrome. Overall fetal development is usually normal with an isolated juxtaductal coarct because of blood flow through the widely patent ductus arteriosus. As the ductus closes off, the changing blood flow patterns can cause left ventricular failure and symptoms of aortic stenosis. Uncorrected coarcts can cause development of collateral circulation with typical rib notching in later life; in the neonatal period, collaterals have not yet developed.
Surgical repair of congenital vascular anomalies is done as early as possible to prevent strain on the developing cardiovascular system. Presurgical planning is almost as important as the surgery itself. A reliable noninvasive method of mapping is required for optimum pediatric patient care. Studies have shown that 3D gadolinium- enhanced MR angiography (MRA) using the double-dose "FASTCARD" technique is a safe and effective adjunct to traditional arteriography. 11-12
MRI of the thoracic aorta --Aortic imaging studies provide anatomic information for the surgeon as well as an indication of the functional effects of a vascular lesion on hemodynamics. Current vascular MRI techniques are considered more accurate than echocardiography in the depiction of the aortic arch and the descending thoracic aorta. 11 Compared with conventional catheter aortography, MRA is appealing because it is noninvasive and requires neither iodinated contrast nor ionizing radiation. Sedation is still usually required for children under the age of 5 years, but older children are usually able to remain still for the required image acquisition time. Body coils are generally used for optimum signal-to-noise ratio, but in infants and small children a head coil may provide even better resolution. Electrocardiographic gating can be used to acquire images at a particular point in the cardiac cycle, and respiratory compensation may be applied as needed. 12
Three types of MRA are currently in use: black blood, bright blood non-contrast-enhanced, and bright blood contrast-enhanced techniques. The simplest sequence is a T1-weighted spin echo acquisition that produces a static "black blood" image from the flow voids within vessels. Slab thickness in children is usually 3 to 5 mm. Transaxial, sagittal oblique, and coronal oblique planar images provide views equivalent to the standard conventional angiographic positions, allowing ease of interpretation.
The second type of MRA is a gradient refocused echo technique that provides a dynamic "bright blood" image secondary to flow-related enhancement. In these images, the signal intensity is roughly equivalent to the blood flow velocity. MRA can be performed using phase contrast or time-of-flight sequences. Phase contrast techniques are generally not used in the chest secondary to degradation by cardiac and respiratory motion artifact.
Gadolinium contrast-enhanced MRA has been used to better delineate complex anatomy prior to surgery, especially in lesions which disrupt the normal blood flow. Gadolinium-enhanced 3D time-of-flight images are acquired as slabs in the sagittal and coronal planes, and post-processed into 3D volumes. These volumes can then be rotated in space and viewed from multiple angles. Breath hold time-of-flight images provide im-proved signal-to-noise ratio, in-creased resolution, and decreased image acquisition time, but are not always practical in the pediatric population without the use of general anesthesia. 12
Musculoskeletal --Musculoskeletal injuries in children can adversely influence future growth and development of normal bone. A "simple" fracture that would be easily treated in an adult may have serious implications in a skeletally immature individual. Careful imaging plays a major role in the accurate assessment of injury and the subsequent treatment plan.
MRI has become a mainstay of pediatric musculoskeletal imaging, with its superior depiction of marrow spaces, joints, soft tissues and its ability to aid in the accurate characterization of tumors. Contrast-enhanced MRI is being used to better evaluate cartilaginous and synovial injury. Physeal injuries, growth plate fractures, and any cause of ischemia to the growth plate have important implications for future growth arrest, and consequently need careful imaging evaluation. These changes can be seen in developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), proximal focal femoral dysplasia (PFFD), hemimelias, acute fractures, chronic trauma, and infection. The use of gadolinium contrast has allowed early identification of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, infection, and ischemia due to physeal injury. 13 Synovial overgrowth, the hallmark of juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA), can be easily delineated using contrast-enhanced MRI techniques. The affinity of gadolinium contrast agents for synovium permits diagnosis of JRA before bony erosions have occurred (figure 4). 14-16
In a Swiss study by Weishaupt et al, 17 dynamic MRI of Legg-Calvé Perthes disease in the pediatric hip was found to be as effective as arthrography in the evaluation of the articular surfaces. The MRI must be performed on an open magnet to allow for changes in hip position. Dynamic MRI was noninvasive, did not use ionizing radiation, and, in this study, did not require sedation.
Intravenously administered gadolinium contrast medium concentrates in synovial joint fluid, and the relative enhancement can be increased with moderate exercise. 17 This arthrogram effect can be utilized in patients who will not tolerate an intra-articular injection. The synovium itself can be seen to enhance following IV administration of gadolinium contrast media. 18
In a study performed at Children's Hospital in Boston, gadolinium contrast-enhanced MRI was performed following reduction and spica casting of dysplastic hips. 19 Hip position and physeal vascularity were adequately demonstrated. This technique may aid in predicting response to conservative treatment and the need for surgical intervention in developmental dysplasia of the hip. 20,21
MRI techniques are attractive for use in the pediatric patient population mainly due to the lack of ionizing radiation. In the United States, most gadolinium contrast agents are approved for IV use in the over 2-year-old age group, but "off-label" applications are frequently utilized in children under 2 years of age. Pediatric approval in European countries has been less stringent with no increase in reported adverse reactions. New techniques utilizing gadolinium contrast are improving diagnosis of congenital vascular anomalies, making surgical planning easier, and obviating the need for invasive angiographic examinations. Applications of contrast-enhanced MR techniques in the musculoskeletal system are improving prognostic predictions in the management of Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease, JRA, and developmental dysplasia of the hip. Continued development of sophisticated imaging sequences will provide faster and better examinations in the pediatric patient population.

CANTON, Ohio (AP) — A crew of officials with college experience worked the Hall of Fame game Sunday night, filling in for regulars who are locked out in a labor dispute with the NFL.
It was a glimpse of what's to come if the NFL and the officials' union fail to reach an agreement before the season openers. And it didn't take long to have a gaffe.
Craig Ochoa, who has worked Big Ten games, was the referee for the game between the New Orleans Saints and the Arizona Cardinals. Ochoa has eight years of experience in BCS conferences and 16 years officiating Division III games.
He flipped a commemorative coin at midfield to start the game, then incorrectly announced the result to the crowd, saying that New Orleans had won the toss and deferred.
Then, starting to walk away, he caught his mistake.
"Correction, Arizona won the coin toss," he said
The other five officials also have worked college games. Most of them also have experience in other professional leagues, such as the Arena League.
Umpire Timothy Morris has worked 16 years in BCS conferences, including the Pac-12. Head linesman Kevin Akin has six years in Division II. Line judge Esteban Garza has one year in Division III. Field judge Rusty Spindel had 25 years in BCS conferences. Side judge Dwayne Strozier has worked 12 years in Division III. Back judge Mark Wetzel has five years in Division II.
Commissioner Roger Goodell said Saturday that the league and the officials' union had talks last week. The NFL has been training replacement officials for a couple of months to be ready for preseason games and the regular season, should the sides fail to reach an agreement.
The league also used replacements for the opening weekend of the 2001 season, then reached a deal with the officials' union.

Upon opening found several boards were split/broken/damaged. Within the first few steps found pre-drilled holes were not in the right place (off a bit) leading to issues with parts not lining up. Also this meant none of the 4 door shut correctly or lined up either. Also as we screwed in the provided screws into the predrilled holes, the wood began to split in many places. Also we had 2 boards that are warped. In addition to all this atleast 3 steps on the directions are incorrect leading to having to undo and redos. Basically after 6 hours of assembly we have a doorless piece of furniture that looks like something we could have bought for $199. Now we are dealing with Sears as we refuse to put an additional minute to dismantle it to return. Charging this kind of money for this piece is robbery. Was this helpful?YesNo Flag read more

Recipe by THEATREGIRL
"My mother has been making this form of ambrosia salad for years. To make blue fluff, substitute Blue Raspberry or Berry Blue Jell-O for the raspberry gelatin."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 (16 ounce) package cottage cheese
1 (8 ounce) container frozen whipped topping, thawed
1 (15 ounce) can crushed pineapple, drained
1 (12 ounce) can cherry pie filling
1 (3 ounce) package raspberry flavored Jell-O® mix
I make this all the time for my family. I always put the cottage cheese in the blender and blend until creamy. No one can guess they are eating cottage cheese! I don't ever use a pie filling. The Jello gives it enough flavor...and strawberry is really good. You can use a low-fat cottage cheese to reduce the fat, also. I think it makes for a healthy snack and it's good for breakfast!
oh my goodness is this stuff is sweet! i left out the pineapple. in my family ambrosia type salads of every variety have always been on the dinner table at any family gathering as a side dish. so i am very acustomed to have it as part of the "dinner" rather then dessert. But let me tell you, this one is a dessert. It was way way to sweet for me. thank you for the recipe, even though it didn't suit my personal tastes.
42 Ratings
Wowze,is this one ever SWEET, too. Both Pink Stuff and Pink Fluff recipes should be considered dessert rather than salads. They are both way too sweet. However, this can be modified by increasing crushed pineapple, adding mandarin oranges and using unsweetened whipping cream rather than cool whip. I gave this a four against my personal preference because my family and guests loved it. Thanks Angela.
I am giving 4 stars as I modified the recipe so it wasn't so sweet. I used whipped cream rather than cool whip and frozen blueberries rather than pie filling. I also used blue jello. It was a hit at my sons Winnie the Pooh b-day party as Eyeores Rainclouds. I served with a dab of Cool Whip on the top. The other parents loved that the kids were eating cottage cheese and fruit! I poured the jello slowly into the blender after the cheese was smooth. It blended with no sign of any jello granules.
I made this for Thanksgiving and it went so fast I had to make another batch. I have used it for a couple of pot lucks since then and it is always a hit!
Mine turned out gritty from the gelatin bits. It would have tasted good if I could stomach that texture.
This recipe is very easy and very tasty! I found myself eating the most of it! :O)
Beatiful and delicious. So easy!

Public utilities are private companies that provide essential public commodities, such as water, electricity, and transportation, and are subject to government regulations.
Sovereignty is a political concept that refers to dominant power or supreme authority. In a monarchy, supreme power resides in the "sovereign", or king. In modern democracies, sovereign power rests with the people and is exercised through representative bodies such as Congress or Parliament. The Sovereign is the one who exercises power without limitation. Sovereignty is essentially the power to make laws, even as Blackstone defined it. The term also carries implications of autonomy; to have sovereign power is to be beyond the power of others to interfere.

Process & Workflow: More than Just Brick and Mortar
In today's business climate, PSPs need to use every tool in their arsenal. Have you embraced Web-to-print and online storefront technology? You might be missing out on a bigger opportunity than you realize.
Web-to-print is widely used in the commercial print market, where it is deemed an accepted way of doing business. But in the wide-format market, that's not the case. Web-to-print software and platforms supporting wide- and grand-format printing projects are few and far between. But more and more, manufacturers are starting to provide software for this growing market segment.
Doug Ballinger can't give a definitive answer as to why web-to-print software and platforms supporting wide-format aren't seen in greater numbers. But Ballinger, president of San Mateo, CA-based PageDNA, whose software is used to create online storefronts, does have a few educated guesses.
"I'm guessing part of it is that a lot of wide-format printing is sold in fewer pieces," he said. "There's no reason wide-format guys can't use our software, but they may not have enough business from a given customer to justify it, or may not see the value other printers do in having an online storefront. The value people find in our storefront relates to products ordered routinely, even daily."
In other words, a big issue in justifying the use of an online storefront has to do with order frequency, as well as with products Ballinger calls "versioned."
If the purchasing frequency is high, and if the product is of the type that begins with a template and lets clients retain most of the template's repeatable elements while ordering customized versions that make it their own, online storefronts provide more value, Ballinger reports. An example of a versioned product, he said, might be a poster for a national retail chain that can be ordered by each of the chain's stores, customized with each store's names and hours.
Michael Rottenborn, president and CEO of Philadelphia's Hybrid Integration, a four-year-old maker of GoPrint and GoSign, believes a different factor was involved in delaying wide-format imaging companies' entry into web-to-print. "We think web-to-print is very well suited to wide-format, as long as the portal can accept very large graphic files from a variety of sources," he said.
"I think file size was a big driver [of the delay in adoption to web-to-print]. When you're talking about huge graphics, files get very, very large. We needed networks and portals that could manage those very large files. The technology has been evolving over the years, and it's finally here."
At Foster City, CA-based EFI, meantime, Digital StoreFront product manager Dave Minnick sees the delay as one that reflects a slower adoption of digital technology in the wide-format segment. "It was once an analog market, and now is fully embracing digital," he said. "It's a natural progression [to web-to-print], and one we saw in the commercial printing market as well."
Many Advantages
What can web-to-print do for wide-format print providers? Well, first of all, it can take products directly to the buyer, Minnick said. "It allows direct contact with the customer, and it allows for automation of the order process, which can save the printer money, while also adding value," he reported.
Added Gerald Walsh, market development director for EFI's Advanced Professional Print Software (APPS) division: "The printer can now provide the buyer with a catalog, which can be customized to that buyer."
Let's say a wide-format provider is working with client ABC Auto Parts, which needs display graphics for all eight of its stores. The individual locations can access the website and order those graphics. Let's say the ABC store in South Minneapolis wants its graphic to bear its address as well. An online storefront like EFI Digital StoreFront can handle that, Walsh said. "We can set up catalogs for ABC Auto, and make it easy for them to do their buying, and for corporate to track buying from multiple locations," he said. "And because it's not a manual handoff, it's going from Digital StoreFront to the management system and on into production, which can be a touch-less workflow throughout."

Blades' Bistro
Online Reservations
We have dined at Blades many times and each time is a wonderful experience. The food is always delicious and the menu and specials change often enough to make it a great neighborhood spot to visit frequently. The outside patio is particularly nice.
We have been to Blake's Bistro more times than I can count and have enjoyed it each and every time. The menu changes several times a year and there are special each weekend. The food is impeccable, and the wait staff is efficient, friendly and very knowledgeable. Everyone who steps in the door is greeted as an old friend whether it is the first time you have been here or the hundredth time. I highly recommend this restaurant.
The variety of choices on the brunch menu was was a plus. Everyone in our party of four got something different and each person said their choice was the best. That's a true test that shows high quality food, well-prepared, with excellent taste combinations. Large portions were appreciated also. Prices were very reasonable for the quality of the meal, so we'll be back for sure!
Wanted to try a new spot. Wow! Was this a find!! Superb food and service. Only, and the only drawback are the acoustics. Very hard to hear your dining partner's conversation and even the server. This is the only reason I rated Blades as VERY GOOD.
I always make sure that I introduce Blades to clients moving or planning to move to Placitas. It is such a plus to have an excellent dining experience close to home. The staff goes over and beyond with their food and service
Our server was good but she just had too many tables. I think they only had 3 servers for a very busy Wednesday evening. The inside and outside patio were bustling. We had a nice meal but waited too long to get our table bussed and too long for dessert to arrive and too long for our bill. I really hate when that happens because it just puts a different spin on what should have been an easy dinner. I will go there again but hope they hire enough servers. Oh, they ran out of fish and chips that night. 2 people had to change their order--not good.
This place was recommended thousand Abby a friend for our 20th anniversary celebration and it was wonderful. The food was really amazing and I don't think I Have ever said that about a restaurant before.
The food, service and atmosphere were really great. But please update your menu on the website more often. I was disappointed that something I wanted from the website was from a menu from years ago.
This is a great place and dining there was a superb experience! Thank you!
We have always enjoyed our evenings at Blades -- every menu item we have tried has been better than most restaurants and t he service is solicitous and friendly. We feel confident in recommending the Bistro to our friends.
I love the food and service at Blades. I am never dissapointed with the menu selection and the attention to detail with each item prepared. Mike Montoya
Wonderful dinner with close friends, everyone enjoyed their dishes.
Great food and nice people. Wine choice was OK too.
I moved back to Placitas after a 5 year hiatus and am so pleased to find Blades Bistro here. Very nice food, interesting wine and beer lists.
We were so happy to find such a terrific restaurant close to home. Everything was perfect. In particular, we enjoyed some very well prepared steaks, something not so easy to find in this area. The service, atmosphere, wine, everything was just top notch.
We have been to Blades several times, usually in May-October when we can sit outside. The food is the best in the area and the service is excellent. The menus varied and they usually have choice "Specials" I would eat anything on their menu - except maybe mussels, not because of Blades' cooking, I just don't like mussels AT ALL :) Their desserts are spectacular. You should try them sometime!
Four of us had an early dinner at Blades Bistro. Two of us had the lamb entree and we both felt it was excellent -- the meat fell off the bone, so tender. And the flavors were devine. The chef accommodated my gluten free and dairy free needs in a most attractive and gracious way. The other two diners were equally impressed. We would definitely go back again for a special occasion.
What a delightful neighborhood restaurant ! Great service, tasty food at a good price and cool atmosphere. Wasn't able to sit on patio but it looked cute enough with live music. Too bad the restaurant doesn't face the other way to capture the gorgeous mountain views from Placitas . Highly recommend.
My husband and I dined at Blade's for our anniversary dinner last week. The drive to Placitas from SE Albuquerque made it feel like a little get-away and we welcomed the opportunity to try something outside of our usual go-to list (Zinc, Savoy, Artichoke Cafe) The appetizers were good, although the fried oysters took FOREVER to arrive and were neither spicy or Cajun, as described. My steak was well prepared but very fatty and my husband's crab stuffed grouper was bland. Service was friendly but slow. Wine list is enticing, particularly by the bottle. The patio seemed like a great option for drinks with friends, although we dined indoors. Overall, if we are in the area we might try Blades again, but unlikely to make another special trip.
Such a wonderful evening, as always, at Blades. Loved seeing all the happy people enjoying their food and the music.
Chicken Francais special was not very flavorflul. Everyone thought we should have just double ordered the appetizers.
Excellent patio atmosphere with a jazz band- extraordinary salads, dinner specials and yummy desserts- also a chocolate martini to die for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another extremely enjoyable meal at Blades. My wife had the Wellfleet oysters which were briny and at their best. I succumbed to the chicken liver and onions which were flavorful, tender and perfectly cooked. Blair gave her usual cheerful and efficient service. The weather cooperated and we sat on the patio listening to a delightful Jazz trio. Sandy
Blades was such a great experience that we are sad that we have been here sooner. Great food we had the ribs, artichoke, and beers for appetizers. The French onion soup and wedge salad was great. The NY stripe steak was awesome! Service was a little slow but acceptable. I highly recommend going to see this hidden gem!
We dined outside and enjoyed live music with dinner. Inside it's a bit noisy; outside its perfect.
Well taken care of. Staff was very personable and helpful. This is our second meal here. We are traveling through from CO.
Great ambiance on the patio. Fresh ingredients, but I felt the flavors were lacking a big. Did not care for their key lime pie at all.
This place is a hidden treasure and worth the drive if you aren't a resident of Placitas! Brunch is amazing, we stayed for hours! The location is tucked away in the high desert area of Placitas, New Mexico and the owners are super amazing. You won't feel left out. All of the food is amazing and we are still trying to get through the menu. Desserts, amazing. Drinks, very generous! Ambiance for night time inside dining is great, outdoor brunch dining - amazIng.
Anja and Kevin continue to delight us with the superb food, wine, service and ambiance. A special gem and worth the drive to dine in Placitas!
This great small restaurant in Placitas is truly a hidden gem. After a memorable first meal (Sunday brunch on the patio), our group of 8 intrepid diners enjoyed a wonderfully varied menu on a Saturday evening, which includes music on the patio. Altho quiet at first because of an early start time (6pm), by 7 the room was almost full and the noise level did get high. Our server was very friendly and quite professional, and informed us of all the many specials of the day. The food was prepared beautifully....all diners very much enjoyed their meals. The wine selection was quite adequate and they offer several "unique" specialty drinks. Entrees average about $20-22. A very enjoyable dining experience, well worth the drive to Placitas.
Took a friend here to celebrate his recent retirement. Hadn't been before but Blades came with high reviews. This was my first time using the Open Table service. The owner's wife greeting us and seating us. Service was superb. We had a 40 something male waiter who was in his element. I'll request him when we go back, though I can't remember his name. Wines by the glass were plentiful and my friend commented on the honest pour of Maker's Mark he received. Food was spectacular. Crab cakes in New Mexico? These were better than most I've had on any coast. One special and one menu entree were oohed and aahed. Then decadent truffles for dessert. Again, service was perfect, the timing of the courses suited my eating pace. Well done! We'll be back.
Great food, great service in an energetic bistro atmosphere. Local for us and one of our favorites.
I've dined at Blades Bistro four times and have always had a wonderful experience and delicious food! The servers are very knowledgeable and helpful.
Blades is very consistent with both their service and food - owners are always present. The food is excellent - try the Frutti de Mar (not sure of the spelling) - excellent pasta dish with scallops, prawns and lobster in a parm cream sauce. The London steak is fantastic! I have also had the mussels & they are always great. They have 2 tables situated in alcoves & I always reserve ahead of time to obtain seating at one of these two tables.
Looking for a high-end gourmet restaurant with food you'll never forget AND cozy, mom & pop bistro warmth? This is it! Perfect for any occasion, and you won't want to eat anywhere else.
I try and eat here at least three times a month. Chef Kevin always has specials that if well liked, may go on the menu later. I had dinner there on Saturday the 19th. He had lamb as a special. It was outstanding. The wine as suggested by his wife topped off a fantastic evening,(as usual).
Blades always has excellent food and service. We're so glad they are in our Placitas neighborhood!
I drove up from Albuquerque, to take my girlfriend out for her birthday. The food was great and the prices were good. I will definitely be returning. The noise got a little loud, but it was the dinner rush on a Saturday night.
One of the things that MAKES the place you live home are special things. Most people would say along with good friends, a wonderful restaurant is key to making a place home. Blades is such a place large enough to make it easy to get in on the spur of the moment but small enough to be that intimate, friendly gathering place. Anya and Chef Kevin make you feel as if you have come over to their place for a dinner with friends. It is a special place.
We prefer to sit at the bar, but their bar is very small so we made reservations as a backup if there were no seats. I mentioned preferring the bar in the Open Table reservation. The owner actually reserved us a spot at the bar with a reserved place card and everything. That's never happened anywhere. She is the best!!
We had a lovely evening with my daughter and her partner, who just were engaged. The drinks, food, wine, and service were all spectacular, as usual. Anna is always charming and Kevin is the best chef in New Mexico!
Blades Bistro was quiet, personable, and the dinner was delicious! The staff was very friendly and courteuous.
Blades is a great restaurant and you will not be disappointed with anything you order. Chef Kevin is a genius! His soups - Split Pea, Watermelon Gazpatcho, to name a few, are heavenly, And his main courses can't be beat. The Choucroute Garnie à l'Alsacienne last weekend was spectacular, And the dessert, Pumpkin Creme Brulee, what can I say. We took friends to Blades last weekend and they said they never had a better meal,
A GREAT casual FINE dining experience. In the center of a strip mall......just unbelievable food, service, and the view outside of Sandia Mountain.....beautiful especially at sunset....
Look; this place consistently serves great food! It's that simple. And, they have a wonderful wine list, too!!
As always, we enjoyed Blades' Bistro. The menu is getting more and more varied, and the food is excellent! It's always fun to watch the chef In his kitchen. All in all, a very pleasant experience.
The Charcuterie l'Alsaice (a new dish) is fantastic. Steaks are always stupendous. And Wednesday half-price-wine-night is great.
We live in Placitas. Restaurant is close, food great, so are wines and cocktails
I was treated to brunch for my birthday; it was a marvelous celebration. We were greeted warmly by the owner who also made a point to say good bye to us when we left. The food is delicious; the service was attentive and careful. When our server brought silverware to the table, she carried it in a linen napkin and silently placed it on the table. I love those elegant touches and the care to do everything quietly is something else that I admire. The special pie of the day was apple with green chili. Oh my goodness! Delicious. Blades Bistro has become a favorite of mine. And the patio is a lovely place during warmer weather.
Been to this Placitas neighborhood gem many, many times and it does not disappoint. Always good, always friendly and always fun.

This trip marks the first "pro" trip I've ever officially been on. Jim Cielencki asked if I was down to film with the Sunday crew and I was more than happy to join. It was a nice change of pace from office life and everybody I met on the trip was super chill and great to hang out with.
We went from Las Vegas to SLC and back to Las Vegas again, making some random stops along the way. Half the crew got sick, hence the title, but it was all still good times nonetheless. Hopefully I'll get to go on more of these down the road.
Tom Arkus helped film and he put together the edit while I added the motion graphics.

Q&A: Parkland's Incoming Interim CEO on Problem Solving
Robert L. (Bob) Smith, a retired Tenet Healthcare Corp. executive, has been named interim CEO of the beleaguered Parkland Health & Hospital System. His four-month agreement is effective Sept. 1.
"A little shell shocked but excited" is how Robert L. (Bob) Smith describes his mood one day after being named the second interim CEO for Parkland Health and Hospital System in Dallas.
The former Tenet Healthcare executive is leaving the comforts of retirement to help Parkland get on track. The safety net hospital must satisfy a large number of federally mandated requirements put in place after a series of surveys identified an extensive list of deficiencies deemed so serious as to create immediate and serious threats to patient health and safety. Parkland has until April 2013 to become compliant or face termination of its Medicare and Medicaid funding.
Smith succeeds Thomas Royer, MD, who retired in June 2011 as president and CEO of Dallas-based CHRISTUS Health and was named Parkland's interim CEO in Dec. 2011.
In an interview with HealthLeaders Media, Smith talked about his philosophy of problem solving, his preparation for the Parkland job, and why he decided to take on the challenge.

Leonid's Story
Istoriya Leonida , Germany, Ukraine, 2011, 19 min, DVD, Animated, Environmental, History, Human Rights
A Soviet family searching for a modest paradise is swept into an immense disaster. Chernobyl 1986. Leonid grew up in the village next to the reactor. The film comprehends the development of this world disaster through the destiny of the protagonist and his family. The small episodes reconstruct the emotional dimension of the tragedy: The children who run to the burning reactor, getting a look at the spectacular drama, the unsuspecting village people in the surrounded area, the animals which remain behind after the evacuation, and the helpless tries of mankind to eliminate the impact of the nuclear disaster, accompanied by the faceless Soviet system. In the end there is a happy ending: The triumph of life over the disaster.

i chose Tapatio.
I chose Tapatio too, but I love Cholula and Sriracha too. Tobasco is garbage.
I'm a reasonable man, get off my case....
sriracha and chile oil w/ my pho today. cholula for my burrito friends
Is there that many Asians in the house?
Idol snake, get out of that skin.
I'm always shipping tapatio to my brother at the naval academy, he can't find it anywhere in Maryland.
Louisiana Hot Sauce is the correct answer. Tabasco wins out of these choices though. PS, I love hot sauce, and enjoy many kinds, but think Tapatio and Cholula taste like shit.
Andrew Bird - pwrTALK - Nacosta - Chris Thile - Four Tet - Laurie Anderson w/ Kronos Quartet - Cut Copy - Coachella 2014 W1 - Chick Corea/Bela Fleck - Philip Glass Ensemble - Philip Glass
The best commercial sauce is undoubtedly Red Devil. I love to mix a little ranch in with it or minced garlic to make killer hot garlic wings.
"Oh this uncertainty is taking me over"
I put Sriracha whenever its around. Tabasco is too watered down for me. Cholula>Tapitio.
Anyone try the chipotle Cholula?

Some of you people really suck at dealing with reality.
Fui quod es, eris quod sum. I once was what you are, you will be what I am - epitaph carved on Roman gravestones.
Frank's Hot Sauce is the Shizsnappie.
Having both Cholula and Tapatio on the ticket was a tactical error. It's splitting the mexican vote.
Fui quod es, eris quod sum. I once was what you are, you will be what I am - epitaph carved on Roman gravestones.
The reality is people will bitch no matter what.
Also, if I recall both Red Rooster and Louisiana Hot Sauce are the same, just different names. Both made by Bruce Foods, both same recipes. I could be misstaken though.
EDIT: I have a call into Bruce Foods' customer service to verify. Apparently 2 of the people I spoke to didn't believe there was a difference but the hot sauce meister is busy at the moment.

Yeah it's really tempting to just smother everything in the chipotle.
I chose Tabasco, Sriracha 2nd. I hate Mexican hot sauces. Tabasco will always be number 1, I put it on everything. The other hot sauces are for people who hardly ever use hot sauce.
Tabasco is mostly just vinegar. Cholula has a much more interesting and complex flavor.

I would rather just use hot sauce packets from taco bell and Del Taco than Tobasco. And yeah i use hot sauce nearly every day as well. I put cholula on everything. It mixes really well into my meat marinades as well.
I always use chipotle powder or chipotle Tabasco when seasoning the burgers. Will have to try it with Cholula.
