Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon 2010
One of the most allocated and collectible Cabernets in the world, Caymus Vineyards Special Selection is crafted from the outstanding barrels of the vintage. Special Selection is produced only in vintages that proprietor Chuck Wagner feels are suitable for this designation. It's the only wine to ever be named Wine Spectator's "Wine of the Year" twice, and this is one of their best ever.
Tasting Notes:
Caymus Special Selection remains one of the top producers of the supple side of the style range in Napa. The wine is polished, soft and elegant. But it's not light. It's packed with spicy black and red berries, vanilla, smoke, caramel and blackberries and ends with a long, pure, silky finish.
About 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 14% Merlot.
Drink now through 2020.

Considering many Haitians make barely $2 a day, this can represent close to five months salary for some, Desruisseaux said. We believe the rental subsidy is a much better situation than living in a camp and returning [homeless quake victims] to their pre-earthquake environment; in some cases in a better situation than they were prior to the earthquake.
After IOM paid the $437 to her new landlord for a years rent, Simin invested the rest. She bought $37.50 in candy to resell in hopes of having money come in. She also paid $50 toward her daughters, ages 5 and 8, school fees. But three months later, school administrators sent the girls home after she failed to come up with the remaining $275, Simin said. Days after Christmas, she hit rock bottom again: the friend and fellow quake victim whom she had temporarily moved in with was packing her things to move out on New Years Day after also being unable to renew her lease. If she leaves, I have no choice but to also leave, said Simin, who recently moved in with another friend, also living in Jalousie.
An ongoing IOM-led evaluation of returnees wont be finalized until the end of this month. But preliminary results involving 500 families show that all remain in some sort of accommodations. In many cases though, they have either doubled up, moved back in with families or found cheaper housing, those familiar with the survey said.
Those involved in the governments rebuilding efforts, particularly President Michel Martellys relocation and revitalization of six camps attached to 16 neighborhoods, say progress has been made.
In the last few months, the government has opened a state university and industrial park in the north, where it also unveiled a new asphalt runway to accommodate large carriers. The quake-damaged National Palace was finally demolished, and Haiti celebrated the opening of a new international airport arrival lounge and a privately-financed luxury hotel in the capital.
The number of homeless quake residents, which peaked at 1.5 million shortly after the disaster left more than 300,000 dead, has dropped to 347,284 as of December, IOM said.
Since the government launched its returnee program in 2011, some 635,322 people have been helped by the international community to move out of the camps through either rental subsides, transitional shelters or home repairs, IOM said.
We know there are still camps, but as you drive on a regular day you dont see much camps, said Clement Belizaire, director of the governments camp relocation and neighborhood rehabilitation program who puts the number of quake homeless at 290,000. The first priority of the government was public squares; the second was schools and then sports infrastructures. We cleared all the major public structures; we cleared all the major sports infrastructures; we cleared all of the major schools.
But with 450 camp sites still dotting Haitis hilly terrain, challenges remain. Tackling them, humanitarians say, requires Haiti to not only prioritize and put in strong, accountable government institutions, but to make the transition from short-term humanitarian aid to more sustainable development.
You cannot continue to implement stopgap measures to deal with specific short-term issues, said George Ngwa, spokesman for the U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs here. Haiti goes from one emergency to another. Every time it appears, we are making progress. A disaster takes us back to zero or minus.
Before the quake, Jean Guerrier Sanon lived with two of his sisters in Port-au-Prince and got by with help from his parents, rural farmers who paid his school fees with the earnings from their beans, yam and banana plantations in the outskirts of Jeremie. After the quake, everyone went their separate ways including him. He took up residence inside a tent on the Champ de Mars, the public square of Haitian independence heroes in front of the now razed presidential palace.
With the lease on the bedroom he rented for $500-a-year inside a private home up next month, Sanon said hes running out of options. He has been unable to find a job, and any hope of having his parents help out, he said, was washed away in October when Hurricane Sandy left their crops in ruin.
Moving in with any of his eight brothers and sisters, isnt an option either, he said. Youre 27 years old, and not working. Even if they used to help you out, its not easy to be sitting up in their house doing nothing, he said.
Looking out at the now empty Champ de Mars from his doorway, Sanon said its clearing was a big victory but bittersweet. Once they uprooted us, he said, they should have turned and look back.

Elderly Primigravida
Cheryl tilted her head to the side and squinted, as she often does when she's curious about something.
"Do you feel intimidated by young mothers?"
I hesitated. "What do you mean? You mean, like, the 22-year-olds who are also having kids and are probably going to have five or six more?"
Cheryl, my acupuncturist's wife and receptionist, nodded eagerly.
"Well, I have heard from friends that when my kid gets to kindergarten," I said, "I'll start noticing how much younger most of the mothers are and I'll bond with the older ones."
When Cheryl posed this question, I was nine months pregnant, garnering comments like "You're sure it's not twins?" and coming in for treatments in attempt to induce me to go into labor.
Three months earlier, when I'd run into said friends, well into their 40s, they made the prediction that soon I'd be in the "old mommies club" like them. Their suggestion that I was going to be an old mommy irked me. At the time, I was not yet 40 and still holding on to my 30s, even if only by a thread.
Considering the unusual trajectory that my life had taken, I felt I wasn't starting late, but was pulling into the first-time mommy station right on time. I'd spent the second half of my 20s in a relationship with the wrong guy, and had survived a rocky marriage and divorce, all of which occurred before my 30th birthday. I spent the first half of my thirties traipsing around warzones including Iraq and Afghanistan, enjoying my career as a foreign correspondent. Relationships were on the back burner, save the occasional romances that inevitably didn't work out – probably because I wasn't quite ready to settle down. It wasn't until I hit 35 that I got real again about finding the right man. It wasn't until age 37 that I met him, 38 when we got married, 39 when I got pregnant, and presto, I found myself giving birth at the age of 40.
FORTY USED TO seem incredibly old to have a child. My own mother was born when her mother was 40. But my grandmother had already had two children who were by then 11 and 14, and my mother's conception came as a "surprise." A late-in-life child, was how my mother described herself when I was growing up. She viewed her childhood as having been shaped by parents who first and foremost seemed old. But the hallmarks of them being "old" really had very little to do with their age, and much more to do with their archaic status in my mother's eyes: they were from the "old country," spoke Yiddish alongside their broken English, and never drove a car.
By comparison, having a child at 40 today seems not only completely normal, but even ideal. I've had my adventures, I've established myself professionally, I've been there and done that. I've lost track of how many women I know who have had a first child at or after 40, and some have gone on to have one or two more.
The medical establishment begs to differ. On my release papers from the hospital in September, which I recently read with great interest, one of their main findings is "elderly primigravida." That's doctorese for a woman having her first pregnancy and/or birth after the age of 35. Apparently, in physicians' terms, I ought to be retiring, not gestating.
It's not just the doctors who took note when I was asked, for the trillionth time since becoming pregnant, how old I am and which pregnancy this is. When I read a late-90s version of What to Expect When You're Expecting, one Q&A (meant to mimic the typical questions we preggo-people have) began like this: "I'm 38 and pregnant for the first – and presumably last – time." The message: At or near 40, you're already washed up. (The latest version of the book, unsurprisingly, dropped this very dated question.)
This isn't to deny the very real difficulties that arise around fertility and pregnancy for those of us who've been menstruating for a good 20 years before even trying to conceive. The statistics show that there is a drop-off in viable egg production after 40 and an increase in birth defects. But those are just averages, and we, in contrast, are real women. Human beings. People who want to be parents.
This blog will be dedicated to motherhood after 40. There appears to be a need for it. When I googled around for "motherhood" and "40," all I could find were the websites of people trying to sell me their fertility enhancement systems, and a disturbing website put out by Focus on the Family that lists all the dangers of giving birth "later." Presumably James Dobson, whose fundamentalist writings have been known to get my blood pressure percolating before, doesn't like the proliferation women like me. That is, women who put off having children because they wanted to do a few things in life before becoming mothers. Women like me, who had trouble finding a suitable partner for many years, and in some cases, made the courageous decision to enter motherhood as a single parent, with the hope of finding love and companionship later down the line. Or not.
In this blog, I plan to thoroughly bash FOF's ideas, examine the ups and downs of starting motherhood in what society labels "later" in life, share a few amusing observations, and just put some of this wild, life-changing experience into words, because that's what I know how to do.
And no, I am not intimidated.

Never thought I would shop on-line for fabric but the quality of the fabrics I purchased and Hancock Customer Service has changed my mind! Even though it said this was dry clean only I washed the fabric in hot water, dried it on high heat with no color loss or bleeding, no shrinkage and the fabric is so soft and drapes beautifully! |

I am a newbie to this, so any detailed answers would be very helpful.
Suppose a start-up offers x% (say 10%) of equity to an employee prior to finding venture capital. And say the founder retains 50%. How do these percentages change once venture capital comes in? What say does the VC have in percentages of equity for the founder and employees?
Also, on a related note, say once an employee is offered 10% equity vesting in 4 years, how can one protect against having the stake diluted? My concern is more around protecting the equity stake as an employee, since I would be working for very little or no cash compensation.

Keyon Dooling has never felt comfortable enough as an NBA player to play without a backup plan. The Milwaukee Bucks guard, who's playing for his fifth team in 11 seasons, has used the same grit he displays on the hardwood to open doors for himself once his career ends. He's always tried to stay flexible, to be able to transition to a different career if playing in the League no longer remained a viable option.
That's why it was so fitting that he led a roundtable among high school students and senior citizens in early November as part of the Bucks' community outreach program. The ASSIST (Active Seniors Supporting Influencing Students Transitioning) program that he participated in was intended as a discussion about the economy and entrepreneurship.
The event provided benefits for the students as well as the seniors. Students learned about handling adversity, the importance of networking and the qualities demanded of a good leader. In turn, they helped educate the seniors on using technological programs. For Dooling, it was an opportunity to help students understand all the career paths they can choose. In a recent phone conversation following a team shootaround, he revealed he's familiar with giving himself career options even as he's charted a path for himself as an NBA journeyman.
"Me being a middle-of-the-pack player, I've always had to do right by my money," said Dooling, who's earned slightly under $27 million in his career, according to basketball-reference.com and hoopshype.com. "I've always had to try things off the court. Some things fail, some succeed. The life experience you get from going through life's challenges is second to none."
Dooling studied business during the two years he spent at the University of Missouri from 1998-2000, but he has never completed his degree. That's something that will have to wait until his playing days are over, as his responsibilities as a basketball player and husband and father to three daughters are paramount. "During the season, it's too much to do school with basketball and family," Dooling said of the study hours required to finish his degree.
He vowed to get his degree, admitting that he needed it for his next career. And what might that be? "I want to be a GM," Dooling claimed. "The business of basketball is by far my favorite spectrum of business, and it's something I want to pursue when I'm finished."
For now, Dooling has his hands in a few different ventures. He owns a club in Miami called Club Play South Beach, and he's in the beginning stages of starting a magazine with his wife, called Sportsality.
"It's a magazine that shows athletes in a different life," Dooling explained. He stated that many times athletes are sensationalized by the media, whether it's for the large amounts of money they make or for controversial off-field and off-court situations they find themselves in. Sportsality, Dooling emphasized, would shine a light on the positive things athletes are doing for themselves and for others, with philanthropy being a consistent theme in the 'zine. "A lot of times [the media] miss the true essence of what athletes are," he said.
Dooling also has a sizable stake in a branding company called Global Village Concerns. GVC, as its website explains, provides schools with "the engine to position your organization to generate revenue 24 hours a day, seven days a week with zero up front or downstream costs to all participating schools."
That his off-court business interests still center around sports shouldn't come as a surprise. As previously mentioned, Dooling aspires to become a general manager for an NBA team. His current role as Vice President of the Executive Committee for the NBA Players Association has given him an essential understanding of basketball economics.
Now that he sees the light at the end of his NBA tunnel—at least on the court—he realizes how important it is to set himself up for a smooth transition after his career ends. And he's found himself identifying with many of his peers in that regard.
"Everybody has those conversations, especially when you get older," Dooling said. "The young guys don't really know what direction it's gonna go. They kind of think it's gonna last forever. As your days get numbered, you want to align yourself with people who have common interests and can be beneficial and positive in your life."
Whatever business success Dooling finds in the future, he emphasized that he wants to be happy and to continue to put in the type of work that's enabled him to play in the League for more than a decade. "I consider myself someone who's a hard worker, a stand-up guy, so I want to continue to learn as much as I can."

How Long Will I Spend In An Inpatient Opiate Drug Treatment Program?
Prescription Medication Addiction Starts At Home
Drug Rehabs Use Massage Therapy to Heal Drug Detox Center Patients
Drug rehabs admit patients from all over the country, but one state seems to lead the charge in drug treatment center admissions—New Jersey. According to drug rehab statisticians, New Jersey's heroin use among 18-25 year olds is more than twice the national average. Drug Treatment Centers from the east coast to the west coast are filled with addicts from the Garden State.
The most commonly used drug in New Jersey is marijuana, drug treatment centers report. However, a federally funded report shows that 5 percent of young adults have heroin habits. Nationally, heroin abuse among young adults is at an average of 2.5 percent.
Many drug rehabs attribute New Jersey's growing heroin problem to the fact that the state has so many shipping ports. Additionally, the state's population density and small size makes distribution easier than most other states in the country. Kane Caviola, a spokesman, states, "We're the first ones that get it.

The governor's Medicaid Advisory Committee on Wednesday recommended that Alabama's Medicaid program be divided into about a dozen divisions across the state.
Birmingham Children's Hospital CEO Mike Warren made the recommendation to the committee during a meeting Wednesday at the county health department in Montgomery. An Associated Press report says Warren's recommendation was approved by an overwhelming voice vote.
State Health officer Don Williamson chairs the commission and said each division would manage its own program. Committee members say the division reflect the different needs in various parts of the state.
Williamson said it would most likely be 2015 before the new Medicaid structure would be in place.

Lauren came to me with only a month to go before her wedding. She was kind and wonderful to talk with. She had a bit of a problem. She purchased another veil markers veil that was called the Angle at a trunch show. The veil did not fit and she was asking for my help. With a little back and forth and her wedding fastly approaching, I decide to bless Lauren with a veil and fascinator from our site as a gift. Her story tugged at my heart so much, I wanted her to have a happy ending. Here is a note from Lauren, telling her story.
A Tale of Two Birdcage Veils….
After purchasing a champagne lace dress with a vintage feel, I decided the only kind of veil for me was a birdcage. I searched high and low for a store or website that sold them. Unveiled Bridal Designs was by far the best site I found. The site was elegant, the veils were customizable and the prices were fantastic.
I told my mother about the website but she insisted that "you cannot get something as important as your veil from a website." We went to a local bridal salon where a woman who makes veils was having a trunk show. I tried on her birdcage veil, placed my order and was told it would take about a month to be done. Imagine my surprise when less than a week later it was ready…
I picked up the veil and it was smushed into a small box. The fabric was very stiff and the veil was sticking out in all directions. For the next few weeks I tried steaming it, shaping it with pins, pulling it, stretching it…it would not budge. I called the woman who I got the veil from and her solution was that "you need to use a lot of bobby pins to get it shaped the way you want." Since I was only wearing the veil for my ceremony, I did not want to stick a ton of bobby pins into my hair and risk ruining my updo. Even after I explained this to her, she insisted bobby pins were the way to go. She had already made her sale and had no interest in helping me. What's worse, it was clear that the veil had not been made correctly or with any care and I was stuck with it.
Photo of first veil (not Unveiled Bridal Designs)
I looked back at Unveiled Bridal Designs and saw all these gorgeous brides with gorgeous veils that didn't stick out in every direction. I decided to email Dorene and asked her how many bobby pins her veil needs. She promptly responded "one, maybe two." I told Dorene about my disaster of a veil and figured in her next email she would recommend one of hers to buy. Instead, she asked for me to send a picture so she could instruct me on how fix the one I already had. I could not believe I was getting such amazing customer service – and I wasn't yet a customer!
I did what she said and took another picture. It was a slight improvement, but Dorene and I both realized my veil could not be fixed and she helped me pick one of hers. It arrived, carefully placed in a lovely hat box and was stunning. It was easy to put in, easy to take out, and I got endless compliments on it. Most importantly, it really went with the look I was going for on my wedding day and made me feel gorgeous. Dorene was a delight to work with and is one of the most sincerely helpful people. Ever.
When you are planning your wedding there are going to be a ton of headaches – what you wear on your head shouldn't be one of them!
Here are the photos of the Unveiled Bridal Designs Angle veil with Kim fascinator.

David Addington
last updated: May 16, 2011
Heritage Foundation: Vice President (2010- )
Office of Vice President Dick Cheney (2001-1009)
Please note: IPS Right Web neither represents nor endorses any of the individuals or groups profiled on this site.
David Addington, a controversial former aide to Vice President Dick Cheney, is vice president for domestic and economic policy studies at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
After leaving government service in January 2009, Addington reportedly had trouble finding work, which some observers surmised was a result of the negative press he received during his tenure in Cheney's office. According to a March 2009 New York Times report, Addington was one of several Bush lawyers who had difficulty landing jobs.[1]
When Heritage announced in August 2010 its decision to hire Addington, Heritage president Edwin Feulner said, "Addington is a brilliant policy expert with over twenty years of senior experience at all levels and branches of governance. As a trusted advisor to two White Houses, the Defense Department, and four congressional committees, Mr. Addington understands Washington and how policy ideas become law."[2]
Although his post at Heritage focuses almost exclusively on domestic policy and the economy, Addington's defense work under VP Cheney received renewed attention from a number of observers in the wake of the killing of Osama bin Laden in early 2011, particularly Addington's role as one of the authors of the infamous "torture memos."[3] However, while some of his erstwhile colleagues, like John Yoo, used the opportunity created by bib Laden's death to revisit their ideas about torture, Addington failed to address the issue in any of his regular publications for Heritage.
In the VP's Office
Widely viewed as having been one of the more influential figures within the office of the vice president (OVP) during the George W. Bush presidency, Addington was involved in several controversies. Among them: the decision to ignore Justice Department misgivings and approve memos authorizing torture techniques during interrogations of "war on terror" suspects; the effort to keep secret the Bush administration's warrantless surveillance program; and the decision to block the release of key documents to the Senate Intelligence Committee regarding its investigation into prewar intelligence.
Referred to as "Cheney's Cheney" or "Cheney's hit man," Addington became Cheney's chief of staff after I. Lewis Libby was indicted in connection to the PlameGate affair.
Addington had been a loyal Cheney sidekick since the mid-1980s, when he served as counsel for the House Committee on Intelligence and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. After the election of George H.W. Bush, when Cheney moved from Congress to his post as Defense Secretary, Addington tagged along, serving as Cheney's special assistant and later as his general counsel. And when Cheney became vice president to George W. Bush, Addington again became Cheney's general counsel, a position he held until November 2005, when Cheney named him chief of staff.[4]
Commenting on his move to chief of staff, the New Republic's Ryan Lizza wrote: "Libby's resignation may be a bigger boon to Democrats than they realize. Addington is both more extreme and more politically tone-deaf than his predecessor. He and Cheney are the harbingers of bad times for Bush. When their names are in the news, political peril seems to follow."[5]
Until his employment in the vice president's office, Addington's public record had been rather thin—possibly one reason few commentators noted his emergence. The New Yorker's Jane Mayer wrote that Addington "is extremely private; he keeps the door of his office locked at all times, colleagues say, because of the national security documents in his files. He has left almost no public paper trail, and he does not speak to the press or allow photographs to be taken for news stories. (He declined repeated requests to be interviewed for this article.)"[6]
Shortly after joining the Bush administration, however, Addington's name repeatedly surfaced because of his role in a string of controversial moves by the vice president's office. In 2002, for example, John Wooden, owner of a parody-producing company called Chickenhead Productions unveiled Whitehouse.org, a satirical website replete with photos and a fake bio of Lynne Cheney. Soon after the posting of the bio—which claimed that the second lady "likes movies, Infusium 23 Shampoo, postmodernist interpretative dance,"[7] Addington, then the VP's general counsel, fired off a letter to Wooden demanding that he "delete the photographs of [Lynne Cheney] and the fictitious biographical statement about her from the website."[8]
The letter's unique accomplishment was to push droves of curious web surfers to Whitehouse.org. It also led reporters to query Cheney's office about the VP's role in the affair; the office denied Cheney had any knowledge of the letter. Some three years later, on October 31, 2005, when the White House (the real one) announced that Addington was going to replace Libby as Cheney's chief of staff, Wooden was quick to react, posting on his company's website a message to Addington: "Chickenhead would like to formally congratulate its best-ever pal, David Addington, on his recent promotion."[9]
Commenting on the episode, the New Republic's Lizza wrote that although the "Chickenhead incident" was only a "minor dustup," it was "emblematic of the larger role Cheney's staff—and specifically Addington" played in the Bush White House. "On issue after issue, the Office of the Vice President overreacts and overreaches," wrote Lizza, "pushing policies that end up embarrassing the administration and from which, more often than not, President Bush must retreat. But Cheney never seems to learn any lessons from these capers. If he had, he never would have promoted David Addington."[10]
During his initial stint as Cheney's chief counsel, Addington was one of several aides cited in connection with the ongoing investigation by Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald into the so-called PlameGate affair. Although not charged, Addington was mentioned in the indictment—by title only—as part of a group of officials in Cheney's office who endeavored in early 2003 to identify Valerie Plame, and to gather and spread information about her husband Joseph Wilson's trip to Niger.[11]
Addington was involved in numerous other controversies during his tenure as the vice president's chief counsel, including the decision to block the release of key documents regarding the Senate investigation into pre-war intelligence.[12] He also helped draft the White House "torture memos," which claimed that the president could sidestep the Geneva Conventions in the "war on terror";[13] he worked to block General Accounting Office efforts to investigate the executives and lobbyists who helped Cheney put together his energy plan;[14] and he led efforts to impede Congress's attempt to draft stringent rules governing the treatment of detainees in prisons like Abu Ghraib.[15]
As Cheney's chief of staff, Addington was accused of pushing the vice president's office to resist efforts by Bush administration lawyers to reverse the White House position on oversight of the National Security Agency's warrantless surveillance program. When the administration announced in early January 2007 that it would allow court oversight of the program, one unnamed official told the Washington Postthat Addington had "clearly lost this round."[16]
The surveillance program, which the administration secretly instituted in 2002, sidestepped a 1978 law passed in response to the Watergate scandal. Meant to protect civil liberties and prevent abuses of executive power, the law requires that government efforts to eavesdrop on U.S. citizens be vetted by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court. When former Secretary of State Colin Powell first heard about the administration's surveillance program, which was revealed by the New York Timesin late 2005, he reportedly said: "It's Addington. He doesn't care about the Constitution."[17]
According to the New Yorker's Mayer, Addington was the architect of what is known as the "New Paradigm," which she described as a "legal strategy for the war on terror" that rests "on a reading of the Constitution that few legal scholars share—namely, that the president, as commander-in-chief, has the authority to disregard virtually all previously known legal boundaries, if national security demands it. Under this framework, statutes prohibiting torture, secret detention, and warrantless surveillance have been set aside." Describing Addington's role in developing the paradigm, Mayer quoted a former administration lawyer who "said that the administration's legal positions were, to a remarkable degree, 'all Addington.' Another lawyer, Richard L. Shiffrin, who until 2003 was the Pentagon's deputy general counsel for intelligence, said that Addington was 'an unopposable force.'"[18]
Republican activist Bruce Fein called the net effect of Addington's influence on the president "quite alarming." Fein told Mayer that Addington and his cohorts "staked out powers that are a universe beyond any other administration. [Bush] made claims that are really quite alarming. He's said that there are no restraints on his ability, as he sees it, to collect intelligence, to open mail, to commit torture, and to use electronic surveillance. If you used the president's reasoning, you could shut down Congress for leaking too much. His war powers allow him to declare anyone an illegal combatant. All the world's a battlefield—according to this view, he could kill someone in Lafayette Park if he wants! It's got the sense of Louis XIV: 'Iam the State.'"[19]

I have nothing to add. Great and easy recipe. I used baby bok choy also. I will definitely make this again. I am not a salmon fan, but this made a fantastic salmon experience.
This is a great recipe for how much time it takes. The marinade is pretty spot on, but maybe a touch sweet. I'll definitely make it again for a quick weekday meal-- can be ready in 20 minutes or less. I served it with white rice.
I rarely make the same recipe twice, but I've made this several times. My recent twist is to put baby bok choy and some fresh shitakes directly in the baking dish with the salmon and sauce. Better flavor for the veggies and I don't have to clean the wok!
Absolutely delicious. Usually on the first try of a new recipe I prepare per the recipe but this time...I added more garlic to the marinade and let the salmon marinade for an hour. I used baby bok choy and once the stem is removed, they are the perfect size and no additional chopping is required..... Also added about a tablespoon of lemon juice to the bok choy and mushroom mix. Dinner guest for my New Years Eve party all wanted the recipe. The best ... Food was delicious, the presentation very attractive and this recipe is no fuss, tastes wonderful and the clean up is a breeze. A keeper. Next time, shall try with tenderloin steak and BBQ. This will be for a summer time dinner party and I will cook the bok choy on the BBQ as well.
This is my "go to" salmon recipe. My children love it for a quick weeknight dinner (minus the bok choy) and it is an easy company meal.
I maybe used a bit too much hot sauce (replaced chili-garlic sauce for sriacha, which I always have on hand), but this was quite good. My husband, who loves salmon, felt it overpowered the fish but he loves hot, so he was happy. I dislike salmon, so it worked very well for me. I'd make it again, maybe with less heat. I'll also think this might work well on wings.
I enjoyed this dish and the marinate/glaze. Trying to be a little healthier, I didn't saute the bok choy and shiitake in the oil. I put them in my bamboo steamer and after lightly sauteed with some o the leftover glaze. I didn't have chili-garlic sauce handy so used a little hoisin and sambal. I served with my quinoa fried "rice" and some kimchi. Delicious and somewhat easy dinner.

The test kitchens at Cornell University host a crew about to embark on a simulated mission to Mars. Researchers are looking at ways to improve the health of deep-space travelers and as our Tamara Lindstrom tells us, it starts with a healthy appetite.
ITHACA, N.Y. -- This crew training at Cornell University may be headed for Hawaii, but it's no vacation. "The area is on very fresh lava flows. It's very sparse. There's no vegetation. It's red rocks. It's not swaying palm trees and beaches, it's very Mars like," said Kim Binstead, associate professor at the University of Hawaii.
Out of about 700 applicants, six of these nine finalists will spend four months isolated in a space simulation, part of a NASA research program on interplanetary eating. But first, they have to learn space camp survival, including how to cook. That's where the researchers at Cornell University come in.
"We are learning to cook different foods based on the ingredients that we will have available at the habitat," said Yajaira Sierra, a candidate and materials scientist.
The candidates are working with a variety of commercially available foods with very long shelf lives. The challenge is to not only make them edible, but appetizing.
"Space anorexia can set in, which is sort of a loss of appetite," said Dr. Yvonne Cagle, a NASA management astronaut. "And that means your nutritional intake could go down and you're at risk for health and performance impacts just because you're not maintaining the calories or the nutrients you need."
Part of the problem is a swollen stomach that can develop from fluids moving around the abdomen in zero gravity. But the astronauts may not get hungry because they can't smell their favorite foods.
"Air molecules and odor molecules are not as concentrated," Cagle said. "And that can actually reduce sensitivity of being able to smell things that you like to eat."
A problem that can hopefully be cured with the expertise of Cornell's top chef.
With the help of Cornell and the University of Hawaii, NASA researchers are hoping the new menu they develop will allow for deep space missions that can last three years or more.

There was once a king who was thirsty. He did not quite know what the difficulty was, but he said, "My throat is dry."Lackeys at once ran swiftly to find something suitable to alleviate the condition. They came back with lubricating oil. When the king drank it, his throat did not feel dry any more, but he knew that something was not right. The oil produced a curious sensation in his mouth. He croaked, "My tongue feels awful, and there is a curious taste. It is slippery…"The doctor immediately prescribed pickles and vinegar – which the king ate.Soon he had stomach-ache and watering eyes to add to his sorrows.
"I think I must be thirsty," he mumbled, for his sufferings had made him do some thinking.
"Thirst never made the eyes water," said the courtiers to one another.But kings are often capricious, and they ran to fetch rose water, and scented syrupy wines fit for a king.The king drank it all, but still felt no better – and his digestion was ruined.A wise man happened along in the middle of this crisis, and he said, "His majesty needs ordinary water."
"A king could never drink common water," shouted the court in unison."Of course not," said the king. "and, in fact, I feel quite insulted – both as a king being offered plain water, and also as a patient. After all, it must be impossible that such a dreadful and daily more complicated ailment as mine could have such a simple remedy. Such a concept is contrary to logic, a disgrace to its originator, and an affront to the sick."That is how the wise man came to be renamed "The Idiot."
Man is always in crisis. Man is crisis…constant. It is not accidental, it is essential. Man's very being consists of crisis, hence the anxiety, the tension, the anguish. Man is the only animal who grows, who moves, who becomes. Man is the only animal who is not born complete, who is not born closed, who is not born like a thing; who is born like a process. Man is open. His being consists in becoming. That is the crisis. The more he becomes the more he is.
Man cannot take himself for granted, otherwise one stagnates and vegetates. Life disappears. Life remains only when you are moving from one place to another place. Life is that movement between two places. You can't be alive at one place – that's the difference between a dead thing and an alive phenomenon. A dead thing remains in one place; it is static. The alive thing moves – not only moves, leaps, jumps. The dead thing remains always in the known. The alive phenomenon goes on moving from the known towards the unknown, from the familiar towards the unfamiliar. This is the crisis. Man is the most alive.
You have to go on moving. The movement creates problems because the movement means you have to go on dying to that which you know. You have to go on dying to the past, which is familiar, which is comfortable, which is cozy. You have lived it, you have become skillful about it, you have learned much about it; now there is no danger in it. It fits with you, you fit with it. But man has to move, man has to go on the adventure. You are a man only when you go continuously on that adventure – from the known to the unknown.

All I can say is that after living in the Middle East for 4 years, it was clear that the burial MUST take place within 24 hours, otherwise the spirit could not pass into their equivilent of our heaven and if the Americans were seen to be preventing that then they would lose a lot of Arab friends, notwithstanding the fact that he may have been refused entry at the gate in any case!
but didnt the arabs refuse to accept hs body to be buried in their country? hence the reason why he was dumped at sea. But imo the whole thing happend pretty quickly. I have also been told tha pictures of osamas dead body have been banned from being published to the public which doesnt help with the theory that many people dont know if they believe that osama is really dead or not

Too many Americans are still out of work and Washington has too much debt.
Our oversized.
And -- federal government is a drag on economic growth and job creation.
And has burden every American with a 50000 dollar share of its debt and rising.
Meantime the Dow is responding to that jobs report up about four points but it's been fluctuating on either side of the flat line.
Joining us now for some reaction Bob O'Brien better business reporter and a former columnist at Barron's Magazine -- seven point 8% is the number Bob what's your take.
Well John it's a little bit.
A sister gifts are nothing -- nothing to get excited about but nothing to be.
Too disappointed about basically what it says it is.
There were on -- same trajectory.
That we pin on for several months which is.
A little bit of growth.

Literally hundreds of thousands.
To the negative so.

Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
For much of the year, they were bitter rivals on the campaign trail, each vying for the same job.
But Thursday, President Obama and Mitt Romney are putting the election aside and sitting down for lunch together.
As the location--the White House Private Dining Room--indicates, the lunch will be a private affair between the two men. No press will be allowed.
A White House spokesman says there is no specific agenda for the meeting, but that the president would like to talk about Romney's ideas for making government more efficient.
Obama expressed a desire to meet with his former opponent in his acceptance speech Nov. 7 and again in his first post-election press conference, but many in the political world were uncertain if such a meeting would ever come to fruition.

DVD Menus Under Control: QDVD-Author New Version 1.8.0
The DVD authoring software has been released in the new 1.8.0 version that promises to keep complex DVD menus under control.
It's been a while since Qdvdauthor forecast a new version of the DVD mastering software. Version 1.8.0 will help in creating menus for homemade DVDs. The program leans heavily on Ffmpeg, M/Player/ Mencoder and Dvdauthor.
According to QDVD developer Varol Okan's blog, the latest version also includes 25 bugfixes and a new DVDLayout tab (see graphic). This will enable a graphic display of the DVD menu structure. It shows which link leads to which subpage and if there is a way back. This could prove to be extremely helpful with complex menus.
A PrintPreview and a check box in the MovieDialog to Loop are included in the stable and more reliable software. The source code for the software is available for download here. Packages can be found here.

OLYMPICS: We're watching and hoping
9:00am Sunday 5th August 2012 in All the latest news from our Wiltshire Olympians By Owen Houlihan
A SUDDEN appearance in the limelight is something many of Team GB have had to get used to as part of the build-up to London 2012 – and their families don't escape the Games experience either.
Especially when your son happens to be tipped as a potential home gold medallist on the final weekend of the Games.
So while Bradford on Avon's sprint canoeing hope Ed McKeever has escaped the fever-pitched excitement to finalise his assault on gold at a preparation camp in Spain, parents Derek and Janice have been getting their own taste of being part of the 'Olympic Family.'
And if that includes being interviewed in the car park of a well-known supermarket, then so be it.
"It's an interesting time. We're getting involved in doing a whole load of things than normally we wouldn't be getting involved with,'' said Derek, the membership secretary at Bradford on Avon Rowing and Canoeing Club where Ed started, aged 12, his long road to an Olympic appearance.
"We don't usually do these sorts of things so it's been quite unusual.
"We've had film crews down here (to the club) and I've been called to do a few radio interviews, including one just after Edward had been selected.
"I was driving Janice to work and had to pull into Morrisons car park to do it.'' Media interest is just one aspect though, with the couple also encouraged to feel part of the Team GB camp ahead of the Games.
He added: "We got invited up for the opening of the friends and family (Team GB) house in London (in June).
"It was a strange day because when we actually go to the Olympics, we are not going to get involved in what goes on in Stratford.
"We are going to be based in Dorney (Eton, which is hosting the canoe sprint events).
"It was nice to go up and see the Olympic village and the Orbit and meet parents from other sports.
"We met (swimmer) Rebecca Adlington's parents and (eventing rider) William Fox-Pitt's wife as well as (swimmer) Gemma Spofforth's family. We were a group invited as the parent group and while we were there I met David Hemery (1968 Olympic 400m hurdles champion, who now lives near Marlborough).''
He said: "We've lived in east London and it's been quite interesting to see how it's all changed.
"His big brother (Tom) was born in Whipps Cross Hospital, which is probably one of the nearest hospitals to the (Olympic) stadium, although Edward was born in Bath.''
The serious business gets underway on the morning of next Friday (August 10) when Ed launches his bid in the heats of the K1 200m at Dorney Lake with his parents and Tom watching from the waterside.
And taking himself away from all the pre-event hullabaloo is a tried and trusted method of preparation for the 28-year-old, who will return to Britain early next week just days before his event.
Janice said: "He's gone off to Spain and basically been cool, calm and collected over there.
"He likes to go off before big races and just be by himself and with his coach and not get involved with anything.
"We don't go near him until after competition – he never normally speaks to us until the race is finished.
"Some of the other athletes come over and speak to their mums and dads, but never him and we just don't go near him. Sometimes I'll speak more to his opposition than him.''
As he is the 2010 world and European champion and a a multiple World Cup race winner, there is no disguising the fact that many are pinning their hopes on the Bradford on Avon man to add the Olympic title to his collection.
The 200m was added to the programme for London ahead of the 500m, dramatically increasing the chances of potential Olympic glory for the Wiltshire paddler.
"One of his targets has been to get to the top and the Olympics has been a hard road to actually qualify,'' said Derek. "The competition to get to the Olympics is ridiculous. It's harder to get to the Olympics than it is to do well when you are there.
"You've got to race against everyone at some point during all the build-up but, when you think about it, half the opposition (at the Olympics) isn't there because they haven't made it through the European qualifiers.''
He added: "We were out in Canada a few years ago when we heard that all of a sudden the 200m, which we've known is Ed's best event, had been made an Olympic event.
"I think it took a day or so for the implications to sink in for Ed. We knew he was in the top 10 for 500m but it was a complete surprise to find that in that first year afterwards he was the number one at the 200m.''
The ferociously-quick nature of the 200m event though ensures any mistakes are magnified and picking a winner can prove something of a lottery.
Janice said: "One mistake and that could be it. You saw Usain Bolt in the (athletics world championship) 100m final last year (he was disqualified for a false start) and you know what can happen.
"In the European Championships he was down in fifth and we were thinking 'what have you done wrong here?' but he pulled back up to third which shows his class because you don't normally change positions in that short distance.
"He's just had a bad start and taken a while to get going. We sometimes don't know what's happened in a race and where he's finished.''
And when it's all over? "A good holiday,'' according to Derek, although two other rather important dates loom large on the horizon.
"Both our boys are getting married this year (Ed on September 22 to fiancée Anya Kuczha in Beaconsfield near his Buckinghamshire base), so we've still got that to come,'' said Janice.
