Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...Henri Matisse's The Thousand and One Nights, is a large, multi-panel, painted paper cut-out.

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
This exceptional wine is from the single vineyard La Madras, on the slopes of the Andes Mountains in Argentina at an altitude of 2,800 feet, allowing for a temperate Continental climate. Grapes are harvested and selected by hand, gently pressed, and only the first pressed juice used. The wine is then aged in French and American oak for six months.
The 2006 Malbec is a striking deep brilliant purple color. The nose is ripe and full, reminiscent of dark cherries, plums, and chocolate with undertones of loam and earth. In the mouth, the wine displays a profound core of ripe, blackberry jam fruit, lengthening into a sophisticated weighty finish coupled with an elegant silkiness. This is a rich, extracted Malbec, atypical of most Malbecs from Argentina.
"There is a select group of under-$20 Malbecs from Argentina that really do the country and the variety proud. Santos is one of them; the 2006 is easy and ripe on the nose, with lovely cola, berry and herb aromas. The palate has a natural feel and bright black-fruit flavors. Not overly complex but a winner for the next year or two." 91 Points Wine Enthusiast

...watching BJJ/No-gi instructional videos and books?
I'm a complete beginner and wondering if there is any point in me watching or reading these or if its just better to learn it at training sessions?
...watching BJJ/No-gi instructional videos and books?
I'm a complete beginner and wondering if there is any point in me watching or reading these or if its just better to learn it at training sessions?
I find books hard but ive learn't a few things from videos, generally ill watch a technique over and over again and then keep trying it in training that night until i feel comfortable with it
hi newbie here, the good thing about vids are that you become familar with the moves and when you actually start a class ur not standing there with your thumb in ur ass you will know a bit.
by the way evan tanner was self taught from videos ufc middle weight champion RIP.
you can learn loads from books and DVD's.
However you will need a dedicated class of skilled training partners to work your game with.
without that you are fooling yourself. consider it to be something similar to your school days, books and DVD's that have been properly vetted by your coach could be considered homework (as could watching/attending events) while mat time is the equavent of class time.
those students that do the homework are taking a step in the right direction, a good book may well be set out in a useful way that sub categorizes techniques in a way that is easy for the student to remember.
those students that dont do the homework will still learn what they need to know, but may take longer to get there.
however those students that dont go to the classes but just do the homework are like home schooled kids, they are susceptible to their own bias unlike mainstream coaches who are kept honest by the rigors of peer review testing(competition).
Quite a number of the 'old school' fighters (most are now coaches, I guess) were self taught in MMA, from videos and books... the notorious Fighters Handbook!
I'm sure it was suplemented with training where possible... but there wasn't really many people around, especially to learn BJJ techniques from!
this is true, and i take nothing away from the inovators and hard workers who by trial and error have worked to bring the UK mma scene to where it is now.
however there is no need to struggle along like this reinventing the wheel anymore, there are more and more MMA schools in the UK and with some effort made regarding travelling, you can avoid having to plod along making all the usual mistakes and go to a coach who has been there, done it and can smooth your rough edges in a fraction of the time.
and good BJJ schools may have been hard to find, may still be hard to find, but the UK has a long standing rich tradition of respectable Judo scrappers.
you can always train judo until you can get to some BJJ or a school opens up in your area.
What you need to find as a beginner is a friend who will watch/read DVDs/Books with you and practise the moves with u. IMHO.
I pick up some useful stuff from videos, just different ideas and things to try out. I'm a beginner on the ground too and some of the stuff I've got from videos have ended up being my 'go to' moves when I'm getting smashed. Maybe its just because its stuff that the people at my club won't have drilled counters and escapes for. But it can't hurt, it won't make you any worse and may just get those creative juices flowing.
My website now has a new domain, check it out - www.modernviolentgentlemen.com
Thanks for the advice. Any books or videos that anyone can recommend?
The cheaper the better, funds are low

Provost's Column
Spring 2012
It is once again my pleasure to introduce the latest issue of Hofstra Horizons, which highlights faculty whose dedication is revealed through their research and teaching. Hofstra University's distinguished reputation is a reflection of the outstanding teachers and scholars that are the heartbeat of this institution. We are proud to share their enthusiasm and commitment to the research and projects they explore.
The first article, by Julie Agris, assistant professor with a dual appointment in Health Professions and the Hofstra North Shore-LIJ School of Medicine, and director of the Master of Health Administration Program, introduces the movement toward an interoperable electronic health record. Professor Agris stresses the potential risk of electronic transmission of health information with regard to both the privacy of the patient and the security of the data. Professor Agris details a fair process approach to global institutional redevelopment of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
The second article, written by Jacqueline Grennon Brooks, a professor in the Department of Teaching, Literacy and Leadership and Julia Caliendo, STEM Studio coordinator, focuses on Hofstra's new STEM Studio. The Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) Studio integrates theory and practice for elementary and middle school education students. It is a teaching and learning lab in which Hofstra students create extended lessons that allow local elementary school students to participate in the work of scientists, mathematicians, and engineers.
Robert Brinkmann, professor of global studies and geography and Hofstra's new director of sustainability studies, presents an overview of local sustainability efforts and research. Together with colleagues and students, Dr. Brinkmann has conducted research on environmental sustainability, pollution, and storm water management. His article examines the benefits of local, rather than national, benchmarking systems, and stresses the need to infuse sustainable practices into our daily lives and engage local governments on Long Island in sustainability initiatives.
The fourth article, by Associate Professor of Anthropology Timothy P. Daniels, discusses how leaders in Kelantan, Malaysia, have infused and circulated religious values within the state's economy. Through an examination of Kelantan's economic policies, Dr. Daniels hopes to reveal cultural and ethical motives that may help us reflect upon ourselves and the ethics embedded in our own economy.
The last article, by Ling Huang, assistant professor of chemistry, examines dangers of the herbal incense "K2 Spice," which is made up of compounds that contain unknown amounts of unknown cannabinoids that can have devastating effects on the human body. Professor Huang, along with Hofstra adjunct professor and retired NYPD detective Mercurio Veltri, has initiated the Spice Accelerated Identification Team (SAIT) within Hofstra's Chemistry Department. Drs. Huang and Veltri, and several undergraduate students, utilize state-of-the-art instrumentation to tackle challenges in detecting, identifying and quantifying the synthetic components in herbal incenses.
These articles demonstrate that the Hofstra faculty continue to extend knowledge and prepare the next generation of leaders to do the same. We are proud to present their research and opinions in Hofstra Horizons. Congratulations to all the authors.
Herman A. Berliner, Ph.D.
Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs

Recipe by IMVINTAGE
"Yum, yum! Sometimes I add some finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate. These are perfect for baby showers or wedding showers. A plastic sandwich bag can be used instead of a pastry bag by filling with the cream cheese mix and making a tiny cut in the corner."
Watch video tips and tricks
1 pint fresh strawberries
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, or to taste
2 tablespoons orange flavored liqueur, or to taste
The directions should read *make a criss-cross cut at the opposite end (not the stem end) & gently fan out a bit*...this creates a pocket for the cream cheese filling. Be prepared to ruin a strawberry or two...some just don't want to fan out. But you can always use those in another dish or do as I do & pop the uncooperative ones in your mouth. That'll teach 'em!!! ;o)
Per user feedback I substitued orange extract, however, I used 1/2 the recommended amount. The orange flavor and smell were so overwhelming I filled 3 strawberries and had our family taste them prior to wasting my time to fill an entire pint of fresh strawberries. No one liked them due to the orange overwhelming flavor.
262 Ratings
I am giving this 5 stars but I think that was due to the fact that I dipped the stuffed strawberries in chocolate(just melted choc semi sweet morsels with a dab of veg oil). Ohh my how good they were and how people raved about them. The filling itself I used only 1 tbsp grand marnier liqueur and found it waaaay to overpowering so I added in a little extra sugar, and a few tbsp of fluff and grated in some nice semi sweet chocolate. That was good but next I think I'll skip the liqueur and add in some vanilla bean or almond extract. I would only give 4 stars as is but DIPPED IN CHOCOLATE..they are fabulous. I bet adding mini choc chips to the stuffing would be great too! This def is a great recipe that you can experiment with.***update..I now have made with the vanilla bean and/or extract on they are TO DIE FOR!!
I think these tasted best after being refrigerated. Instead of criss-crossing the cut on the point of the strawberry, I cut "out" a small triangle wedge before putting in the cream. This was much easier that pulling the strawberry open to get the cream in..plus then it didn't try and squish out. I used orange extract in place of the liqueor.
So very delicious!!! I made a few modifications. I didn't understand how the strawberries should be cut from the directions given, so I sliced them in half and piped the cheese over them. I used neufchatel cheese and shaved half a Hershey's extra dark almond, cranberry, and blueberry chocolate bar into the mixture. Not having orange liqueur on hand, I replaced it with a teaspoon of vanilla extract and only used 1/4 cup of powdered sugar. My husband absolutely loved these and said this was the best quick dessert I've ever made! Thanks!!!
I make two criss cross cuts in the strawberries. It creates a better pocket for the filling. They look like pretty flowers on a platter. I make these for bridal and baby showers all the time. Simple yet elegant!
Five stars for a quick, easy, lovely and delicious dessert. I made just enough for Hubs and me and subbed Amaretto for the orange flavored liqueur, which I'm not a fan of. I made beautiful presentations on individual dessert plates, placing two each on top of baked triangles of puff pastry (Pepperidge Farm), drizzling each with some warmed ganache I had on hand in the fridge, a sprinkling of powdered sugar, a dollop of whipped cream and a sprig of fresh mint. "Gourmet" dessert in a hurry!
This recipe is so easy to make and tastes GREAT! I made this for my sister's Wedding shower and everyone absolutely loved them. What I love about it is they're so easy to make. Just be careful not to beat the cream cheese mixture too much (just until uniform) because when piping it will not keep its shape. Next time I think I'll add a little more Cointreau to give it more flavour. This recipe is absolutely wonderful!!! Thanks IMVINTAGE!!!

text: MSF Continues to Treat Earthquake SurvivorsMarch 28, 2002In the two days since a vicious earthquake pummeled the northeastern town of Nahrin, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams have been working around the clock. Using trucks to transport the wounded to three large tent hospitals, MSF has treated 580 people, mainly for fractures and burns. Nearly 50 of the most critical patients have been sent to hospitals in Phul-i-Khumri, where MSF has sent a doctor and 200 emergency kits. Mobile teams are also traveling to neighboring regions to assess the needs of the populations there. While the most immediate needs are shelter, food, and water, aid groups have had major problems getting to the area. Access to the remote mountainous region has proven even more difficult than usual because of badly damaged roads, the presence of countless landmines, and aftershock tremors measuring 5.4 on the Richter scale. Many resources originally sent to address the nutritional crisis are being redirected to assist the earthquake victims, which creates a serious burden on the already extensive aid programs MSF runs in the areas. Severe malnutrition has beset northeastern Afghanistan because of an ongoing drought and decades of war. MSF feeds more than 4,000 children its nutritional centers, in addition to supporting numerous camps for the displaced, and consulting 45,000 patients per month in 18 clinics.

Hostess Brands, Inc. filed for bankruptcy in 2004 -- the first time around. This January they did it again, and on Nov. 16 announced plans to liquidate their assets, which include manufacturing facilities, brand names, and secret recipes. But on Nov. 19, Judge Robert Drain in White Plains, N.Y. prohibited the company from proceeding with liquidation until the unions and Hostess had attempted internal mediation.
But now, talks between the unions and the company have failed and on Nov. 21, Drain permitted liquidation plans to go forward.
The company cites the strike as the last straw that put the giant responsible for Ho Hos and Twinkies over the edge. The unions see it differently, citing what in this day and age have become common bywords: overspending and corporate greed.
"Whenever you take your profit to pay bonuses, it's an injustice," said Dennis Hall, president of the Northeast Oklahoma Central Labor Council. A working man, Hall takes a dim view of the future of Hostess workers and the company itself.
"There's no doubt in my mind there's going to be suffering all around for the working people," Hall said. With the nearly 18,000 workers on Hostess' payroll soon to be jobless, the issue of the company's liquidation is indeed far-reaching in its implications.
It is also extraordinarily inconvenient for the overall economy that the liquidation of the company's assets comes during a peak sales period for the majority of businesses -- the holidays. Many businesses see up to 60 percent of their total sales for the year happen in November and December, according to retailtraffic.com, an online publications concerned with retail and development.
Hostess employee pay runs the gamut from $48,000 a year for a district sales manager to $29,000 a year for a bakery outlet clerk, according to glassdoor.com, a website which specializes in insider looks at jobs and companies. If you take $30,000 as the median yearly pay and multiply it by the number of workers losing not only their jobs but their benefits and pensions, you've got $540 million not making it back into the national economy.
Then there is the staggering revenue that Hostess has averaged yearly, $2.798 billion since 2008. Meanwhile, the company has still failed to stay afloat.
Justin Evans, president of the local company's operating engineers union thinks he has an answer to the company's financial woes: mismanagement.
"Looking at the company's history with CEOs, you can tell they are more interested in padding their pockets than making Twinkies," Evans said. Since the company's initial filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2004, "there [have been] four new CEOs. That's approximately one every year and three months," Evans said. "They each got a $125,000 a month salary, and a $60,000 sign-in bonus."
Meanwhile, 18,000 Hostess workers -- most of whom are unionized even in the right-to-work state of Oklahoma -- have been taking pay cuts in an attempt to save the company and their livelihoods.
The Teamsters union reached a settlement with the company in September, the only union of Hostess workers to do so.
"There was an 8 percent wage cut," said Gary Ketchum, president of the Teamsters Local 523 in Tulsa. "It was something to get the company by. We didn't like it; none of our members liked it."
Teamster members voted by secret ballot, having agreed upon the proposal as the best way for the company to stay afloat. "It was a shared sacrifice, any concession on any article of pay the hourly workers got, the salaried workers also got their wages cut," Ketchum said.
This would have been a good start, but when the bakers and the operators failed to return to work on Nov. 16, the company took the first step on making good with their promised liquidation.
"I think they were uninformed by their leaders," Ketchum said. "The Teamsters have access to every aspect of the financial records of the company."
He could make no comment as to whether the bakers union and the operators union were privy to the same information.
Evans -- of the operating engineers union -- cites the vote of his union, which was counted by a show of hands. "It was 52 percent to 48 percent. It was close, and that's the way it went for them," he said.
Of attempts to meet in the middle with Hostess,
"We went back to the table several times," Evans said.
Speaking on the topic of information access on the part of the unions nationally, "All the unions had access to their economic status. We knew what their situation was," Evans said.
Although the president of the local bakers union could not be reached for comment, Ketchum emphasized the hakers union as having a far greater impact than either the Teamsters or the operators, as the bakers constitute a larger number of unionized employees. The bakers' "sheer numbers" made the difference, Ketchum said.
Hostess could not be reached directly for comment. The answering machine at the local Hostess branch -- 4380 91st E. Ave. -- said the following: "You've reached Wonder Bread and Hostess Cakes. We are out of business."

Favorite Places & Spaces: Southwestern U.S. Architecture & Style
I have had the great pleasure of finding myself in the Southwestern U.S. this year not once but twice. The geography, culture and style are completely unique from any other region in the U.S. and are immediately identifiable upon first site. As with most places that can trace their history back centuries, the style and architecture are a product of their people's need and surrounding environment. The heat, lack of water and sourcing of local materials are what determined how the structures in the region would look.
The Southwestern architecture and style are soothing and authentic. The adobe walls, soft/muted earth tones, brick, casement windows, long/narrow porches, rough-hewn woods, ironwork and cactus all symbolize typical details found in Southwestern design. This Southwestern style is a combination of the Spanish and Native American who lived in the area and has morphed and blended to create several different definitive styles:
- Pueblo Revival- adobe style, flat roof, wooden beams.
- Mission Revival- adobe style, white walls, courtyards, low-pitched clay tile roof, long arcades.
- Spanish Colonial- smooth plaster wall and chimney finishes, low-pitched clay tile roof or flat roofs, and terracotta or cast concrete ornaments, iron trim.
- Contemporary Southwest- is a mix of all the regional styles sometimes with updated materials.
Here are some of the photos I snapped in Arizona of the architecture and style elements used by its residents:

Parker Cottage Guesthouse is a small, owner-managed business with six permanent staff. Seven if you count Jasper, the Parker Dachshund ...
Phil & Liz
We're Liz and Phil, (the owners), and came to Cape Town from the Eastern Cape (Grahamstown) in 2006.
We bought Parker Cottage Guesthouse in 2008 after a couple of years running another guesthouse, Mountain Magic Suites.
We're also academics by profession: Liz works in the sociology of education and is writing her Phd at the moment and Phil is a linguist with an interest in primary education. When we're not at Parker Cottage B&B, Liz likes nothing better than anything to do with horses, gardens and fantastic outfits! Phil's never happier than when covered in oil working on his Land Rover, skateboarding or windsurfing at Langebaan.
Donovan Jonkers
Donovan is our caretaker at Parker Cottage B&B. Even at the tender age of 24, he manages all painting and decorating here (and now also the wiring and plumbing) with exceptional diligence. He's originally from the Eastern Cape, Graff Reinet to be precise, and loves riding his racer bike around town. He now lives in Mitchell's Plain and is the main breadwinner for his household of five.
Donny plays for a local football team called Napoli (no, not the Italian one!) and makes it known that unless he is playing, the team loses. Donny's big ambition is to become an electrician one day.
Olga Jonkers
Olga has been with us since Donovan, her son, told us that he knew someone who could help with the linen. Olga now is in charge of cleaning all the public areas of the house, the kitchen, lounges, passages and stoep, which takes all day, every day.
Olga and her husband Jeffrey brought the Jonkers family from Graff Reinet to Cape Town about ten years ago. Olga's a passionate housewife and mother of four, of which Donny is the eldest.
Babalwa Ngombane
Babalwa is our Senior Housekeeper at Parker Cottage B&B. She is a single mother of four and hails from the Eastern Cape.
Previously a cinema manager, Babalwa is the younger sister of Nolita, who worked for us when we were still running Mountain Magic. Babs, as she is known, is an erudite lady with impeccable English, a razor sharp mind and a broad education. This is not a woman to be underestimated. Her favourite occupation? Coming home to clean house with dinner on the table and her favourite soapies (soap operas) on the television. Her dream is to have her own catering company one day.
Thandeka Balumane
Thandeka hails from Khayalitsha and used to work for many years at An African Villa (wonderful boutique hotel on Carstens Street), and now for us. She's the mother of four too and has recently become the exceptionally proud owner of her own house after several years of struggling.
Thandeka has a wicked sense of humour: be careful! She also greets every guest she meets with her traditional isiXhosa handshake. It's a real honour.
Lexi De Coning
Lexi has been a friend of the family since we lived in Grahamstown and now is working as an Assistant Manager. Lexi's got a very big brain: she's completed her MA in English Literature at Rhodes (where Liz and I used to teach) and has all sorts of publications about monsters in fiction.
She had a bit of a baptism of fire, starting with us in a month when we were 92% full, but so far she's done a sterling job!
Nompilo Gcwabe
We like to do everything in house at Parker Cottage, and that goes for our linen too: so we've taken on Nompilo Gcwabe (if you don't speak Xhosa, that's a little hard to pronounce!) who is an old friend of Babalwa's.
Having worked her way through six months of hard work as a general cleaner at Parker Cottage, Nompilo has now graduated to our laundry maid. She's in charge of the laundry and linen (that is a huge job) and with the help of the industrial steam iron we bought, is doing just fine. Welcome Nompilo!
Jasper is actually the son of the legendary Monty, who belongs to the owners of An African Villa, Jimmy and Louis, just up the road from Parker Cottage. He's only 10 months old, very excitable and very amusing. The only toy that we have found that will last more than a day with him is an old piece of car tyre.
Jasper regularly attends our wine evenings and makes his comments on the vintages we are tasting.
Parker Cottage b&b in Tamboerskloof, Cape Town is conveniently situated for all visitors to Cape Town. If you enjoy exploring the cultural side of a city and all things art, Parker Cottage is close to many renowned Cape Town art galleries.

summer snow
Fairfield Cheese Company
July 2, 2012 - 1:54pm | by erictw"I opened during the worst part of the recession," Laura Downey says with a chuckle as a coda. Such a statement of entrepreneurial horror isn't often followed with a gentle laugh, but Downey has earned that right. For her, the recession isn't an excuse for a failed business, but something that she has succeeded in spite of. She is the co-owner with Chris Palumbo of the thriving Fairfield Cheese Company in Fairfield, Connecticut, a shop bringing the best in artisan and locally produced cheeses to the Connecticut suburb.
The Most Amazing Cheese Moment of 2011
December 21, 2011 - 4:27pm | by stephanieThis summer at the Vermont Artisan Cheese Festival I scored the last available Summer Snow from Woodcock Farm. Mushroomy bloomy rinds are a favorite of mine on a summer evening with friends. I brought it home to the Berkshires and that weekend we opened a bottle of wine, plunked the Summer Snow on a cheeseboard, and tromped out to the screen tent in our flipflops and shorts. We live outside all summer in the Berkshires, but barricade ourselves behind screens because it rains often, and the mosquitos, noseeums, and mayflies are ATROCIOUS. We settled in under our flimsy screen tent.
It was a beautiful evening with a cool breeze keeping the worst of the unwanted guests at bay. We were admiring barn swallows swooping, and cedar waxwings appearing to have an allout rave on the blueberries when the first drops of water hit us from behind. What the...? The western sky was black, but summer rain is a passing thing, and welcome. We scooted closer to the cheese.

The Santa Rosa County Board of County Commissioners denied a conditional-use permit for a proposed dog kennel and grooming facility to be located off of U.S. Highway 98 in Navarre.
The business venture on Kubota Lane ran into some public opposition during an Aug. 11 meeting but was narrowly approved by the zoning board. However, commissioners denied the request Aug. 25.
Joshua and Melanie Hawkey requested the conditional use for a boarding facility, Wags and Whiskers, on a piece of property within a highway commercial development and residential two zoning district, but neighboring homeowners of the Fountainview subdivision were against the conditional use.
Planning and zoning associate Leslie Statler said the proposed business would be contained to the HCD portion of the property. The business would contain a fenced-in exercise area, one existing building for a grooming parlor and a secondary building for overflow kennels.

The Future of Neural Stem Cell Therapy
In the early 1990s, as part of therapy designed to restore neural function in patients with Parkinson's, Curt Freed, a neurosurgeon at the University of Colorado, performed transplantations of cells derived from fetuses. Now, however, "we're moving into an era in which we'll create cells in the laboratory," Freed says. "I see the cell therapy area as becoming very sophisticated during this century. Two hundred years ago, drugs were not pure products but were ground-up leaves." Today, chemists can refine drugs to nearly 100 percent purity. "I think exactly [the same thing] is going to happen with cell therapy," he predicts.
That is the business model of Stem Cells Inc., which purifies fetal cells, multiplies them a thousandfold, and freezes them in "cell banks" for individual patient use. A cell population grown by this technique is much more uniform than the original sample, which should keep results consistent from patient to patient. "Because we can bank and store them," explains Rodney Young, CFO of Stem Cells, the company expects eventually to profit as the pharmaceutical industry does, by selling a product--"stem cells in a bottle."
Even though the primary goal of the initial Batten trial is to discover whether or not the treatment is safe, the OHSU/Stem Cells researchers expect that the doses of stem cells used in this trial could have therapeutic effect in the children. "We certainly will publish the results & whether they are positive, negative or neutral," Steiner says. In the meantime, "we don't think it's helpful to have a lot of hype about this study. We just want to do our work and take care of the children as best we can."
Twenty-eight days after the surgery, the parents of the first patient in the Batten trial held a press conference to thank the doctors involved. "There were doctors and nurses and so many specialists & it was a symphony of love for our son," says Marcus Koerner, the father. "The first news we got was that the first injection of neural stem cell--transplant cells--had gone in & everyone was so elated."
The boy emerged from surgery with a shaved head and incision scars. Steiner and the other surgeons warned the parents of possible side effects but all has gone smoothly so far. The child, who had seizures before the surgery, has had none since and has even spoken words the parents have not heard in a long time. With Batten disease, language ability can fluctuate and this improvement may have been caused by the support the child experienced in the hospital. "We are way too early in the uncharted territory [to be certain the surgery has had a beneficial effect] & but as parents," Koerner says, "we are overjoyed."

Destructoid is three years old
Destructoid turned three yesterday, and gushed itself all over the internet in the process.
There's one birthday story I like to tell about the Internet and gaming in particular — one of this art school drop-out who wanted to go to a video game event so badly that he blogged his little heart out until he made it. But that wasn't enough. Soon others with the same dream joined the blog and now it rests on him to build that company up — to share and realize that dream for his friends, too. It dies in an instant without the support of our readership, so today I'm mostly thinking about you — the Destructoid reader, lurker or community regular. It's your day, too.
How exactly do you say thanks to over a million people that have helped you realize your childhood dream?
There are no words.
A lot more words through the link. Happy birthday, chaps.

Destructoid pulls rumoured GTA IV multiplayer details
Rockstar has requested that US site Destructoid remove details of GTA IV's multiplayer compenent. Following the launch of Rockstar's GTA IV website yesterday, the site posted some rumoured information about online play. The word "multiplayer" was seen for the first time on the game's site, tantalisingly ghosted out.
"We've been asked by Rockstar to wait until the game is closer to launch before giving up all the goods," said the site "Just as we respect our anon tipster's wishes to remain out of jail we're also willing to work with the game company's wishes. The less lawyers involved the better, so some of the details from this post have been removed so some people can sleep soundly tonight. Go home, lady!"
Unfortunately for Rockstar (and its lawyers), Kotaku got to the news first. According to the site's coverage of the story, "a rumored tagged report from Destructoid, citing an anonymous source," says "a suite of multiplayer options are planned, including death match, co-op, team based head-to-head battles and online races."
The game's Xbox 360 achievements list is also known to be in circulation. That addage about death and taxes being the only certainties in life missed a third: "you can't beat the internet".

So it looks even worse. I've thought about pre exausting shoulder presses with laterals. Right now I'm doing a HIT routine. So I could probably work that in there. Anyone ever have this same problem and come up with a remedy?

The Gallatin County Sheriff's Office received a report or 2 overdue backcountry skiers on Saturday night around 10:35.
The 2 male skiers, one from Big Timber and one from Idaho, planned to ski the Blackmore Trail near Hyalite Dam and were expected back that evening.
Approximately 30 Search and Rescue Volunteers responded but the snow and wind prevented them from doing a complete search that evening. SAR resumed the search around 5:30 Sunday morning.
According to a press release from Gallatin County, the skiers reported that they triggered an avalanche and one was swept down a couple hundred vertical feet.
Although both skiers were reportedly okay, one lost a ski and was not able to make the descent.
The two decided to stay the night but were unable to light a fire due to high winds. The skiers sought shelter behind a rock and hiked out the following morning.
The skiers were located around 8:30 a.m. as they were making their way down the mountain. They reportedly refused transport to the hospital.
Sheriff Gootkin stated the skiers did several things right like letting someone know where they were going and what time they expected to be back. Also they went with a partner which is often the single most important survival skill.

Easter rain boosted interiors but crippled garden trade
Room specific products during the Easter 2012 weekend saw a 16.4% boost according to a new report by the GfK, which said the dismal weather meant people spent more money - as well as time - indoors.The poor weather meant people went shopping for their homes rather than their gardens, said the GfK
In contrast, the report also highlighted poor performance in garden products, which declined by 53.2% compared with last year's Easter bank holiday. As a result, the market saw an overall value decline of 11.4%.
It was better news for bedroom furniture, which saw an impressive 31.2% growth in value, while living and dining furniture was boosted by 29% and kitchens weren't far behind at 19.6% growth. The gulf between the 2012 period and 2011 - which was measured over the week ending April 23, 2011 - was accredited to the difference in weather conditions.
GfK account director Simon Foy said: "Easter is such an important trading period for the DIY sector and weather conditions always play a significant part in the performance of key sectors. Unfortunately this year with the weather not as good as last Easter, it was a difficult trading period for the garden categories with sales more than halving year on year.
"Despite this, there was impressive growth in the interiors markets and in particular room specific. This indicates there is still willingness from consumers to undertake significant DIY activities over the Easter break, resulting in total sales only falling by 11%."

David Buckland, 46, was repelling down a mountain near Tanners Flat when, according to his son, two anchors gave way.
"He fell almost 60 feet and luckily one of the lower anchors caught him," son Isaac Buckland said. "I was able to catch him on the belay system and he wasn't killed.
Isaac said he and his father are avid climbers who use ropes, harnesses and helmets. Still, Buckland took a nasty fall and got tangled in the rope upside down.
"He bounced off a ledge, broke his ankle and possibly broke his hip," Isaac said.
Search and rescue crews were brought in for a highly technical rescue. They set a 600 foot high line down some of the most treacherous terrain in the canyon to bring Buckland to safety. He was rescued after approximately five hours on the mountain.
"This was a very experienced climbing team," Salt Lake County Sheriff Jim Winder said. "Even with the best of intentions and training things can happen."
Winder advised people to never hike or climb alone.
"All it takes is one incident like this where no one knows where you are and this could have turned into a fatality," Winder said.
Buckland is recovering from his injuries in a local hospital.

Season six of Full House is jam-packed with incident for the Tanner household: widowed San Francisco TV host Danny Tanner (Bob Saget); his three daughters Stephanie (Candace Cameron), D.J. (Lori Loughlin), and Michelle (played by twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen); his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis (John Stamos), Jesse's wife, Becky (Lori Loughlin) and their twin babies, Alex and Nicky (now played by real-life twins Blake and Dylan Tuomy-Wilhoit); and Danny's comedian pal Joey Gladstone (Dave Coulier). The season opens as D.J. returns from a summer study program in Barcelona -- with a new boyfriend, the slightly older Steve Hale (Scott Weinger), in tow. Meanwhile, Jesse continues touring America and the world with his singing group "The Rippers," capitalizing on his surprise song hit, "Forever." And Danny and his girlfriend Vicky Larson (Gail Edwards) are still weighing the option of making their relationship permanent. In other sixth-season highlights, Mark Linn Baker guest stars as Becky's snooty millionaire cousin Dick Donaldson; little Michelle goes to great lengths to prevent her best friend, Teddy (Tahj Mowry), from moving to Amarillo; Stephanie's homemade ear-piercing job ends in disaster; Jesse graduates from night school, but a comedy of errors results in a sparse turnout for the ceremony; and Danny's daughters inadvertently wreck an expensive museum exhibit. The season ends with its traditional two-part finale, set in Disney World -- where Michelle wanders off and gets lost, and where Danny finally pops the question to Vicky. Though Full House lost a bit of its audience during the 1992-1993 season, the series remained comfortably in tenth place in the overall ratings. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Kick off 17:15 BST at Dnipro Arena, Dnipropetrovsk
Ukraine - Nazarenko 29'
Stuart Mawhinney in Dnipro
England suffered their first competitive defeat under Fabio Capello, with Ukraine seizing on an early red card for the unfortunate Rob Green and earning three points. Green saw red as Ukraine won a penalty in the early stages, only for the seasoned performer Shevchenko to fluff his lines.Nazarenko scored minutes later to put Ukraine in front, and despite a valiant effort from England in the closing stages it was the hosts that took the spoils.Fabio Capello stuck with Robert Green in goal for England, making his sixth successive start for The Three Lions and there was a first competitive start in three years for Michael Carrick who came in for Gareth Barry at the heart of midfield.The game started with a hail of flares from the Ukrainian fans towards Green in the England goal, and a stoppage ensued as stewards and firefighters tackled the offending missiles.Aaron Lennon worked the first opening following as he found space inside the Ukraine area, only to see his lofted cross headed away by Oleksandr Kucher. From the resulting Gerrard corner Emile Heskey headed over the bar. John Terry then bounded forwarded and produced a terrific cross that Rooney narrowly failed to reach at the far post.In a dramatic few minutes England were reduced to ten men when the Slovenian referee ruled that Rob Green was the last men when he upended Artem Milevyskyi. From the resulting penalty former Chelsea forward Andriy Shevchenko struck the foot of the post and England could breath again.In the meantime, David James had replaced Lennon, and following the miss there ensued another barrage of missiles on the English penalty area.The miss was a small reprieve as England faced the prospect of more than three quarters of the match with ten players, but the advantage would go to the hosts who were in desperate need of victory to aid their chances of securing the playoff spot.60 seconds shy of the half hour mark and Ukraine took the lead with a deflected shot from Sergei Nazarenko. Then Wayne Rooney produced a magical turn and pass to feed Lampard inside the area, and though the Chelsea midfielder found a gap past Piatov the ball went narrowly past the post.From the restart Milyevskyi hit a thumping left-foot volley that smacked the inside of the post and shot to safety.Glen Johnson twice found a crossing angle on the right, both times found by the superb Rooney, but was unable to pick out anyone through the packed Ukraine defence.England had chances to level the scores but in difficult circumstances they entered the interval trailing by a goal for the first time in this qualification campaign.James Milner replaced Steven Gerrard at the break as England sought to regain a foothold in the match.It was the home side who had the first meaningful effort on goal though, as marauding full-back Yaroslav Rakytskyy hit a fierce effort that forced a splendid one-handed save from David James.Lampard then saw a chance slip from his grasp as he was played through by Rooney. Kucher came to smother the shooting chance and when Lampard tried to turn inside the ball was in Piatov's arms.Lampard looked like he had earned a penalty, only for the referee to point to the very edge of the Ukraine area. From the free-kick Rooney played the ball short to Lampard whose effort was blocked. Johnson struck the follow up but was denied.England pressed for an equaliser in the dying moments, but it was not meant to be and Ukraine will now have every chance of securing second place.


text: As Francis' visit on Long Island was coming to an end, we decided to do some geocaching on the Eastern end of Long Island. The weather reports for Saturday looked rather gloomy, but since we haven't geocached together in a while we were determined to go rain or shine. I put together a pretty busy itinerary of almost 30 geocaches in the Maple Swamp County Park as well as in the Hubbard County Park, close to Riverhead, on the south fork of Long Island.

Serves eight to ten.
Yields about 2 cups.
Aside from being a great party dip, tzatziki is also delicious served with roasted or grilled meats, or with the lamb meatballs. Chopping the garlic in the salt is a Greek trick that brings out garlic's punch. Raw garlic, however, becomes acrid rather quickly so to be at its best, tzatziki should be made the day of serving or no more than 24 hours ahead.
Spread 3/4 tsp. salt on a cutting board. Peel the garlic and finely chop it on top of the salt. Transfer the garlic and salt to a medium bowl and stir in the yogurt.
Put the cucumber in a colander and squeeze as much liquid out of it as you can. Add the cucumber, vinegar, mint, dill, and olive oil to the yogurt mixture. Stir to blend and season to taste with salt. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours before serving. Serve cool, garnished with the mint leaves (if using) and accompanied by fresh pita wedges or toasted pita chips.
The dip can be made up to a day ahead.

by sbgolden, 8/12/2009This is wonderful and so easy to make. Fabulous flavors. It has been a staple in my summer entertaining. I have seen guests that would never otherwise eat yogurt devour it. Everyone asks for the recipe!
by larodwick, 6/18/2008Awesome! Super garlicky which gives it great flavor, but may not be the best party idea. The chopping the garlic on the salt was new to me, but may have been the reason for the strong garlic flavor. The dill was also just right.
by Amy, 5/31/2008Excellent with lamb meatballs in the article on meze. My tzatziki ended up looser than the photograph show, just FYI, but it was soooo good!
