Test Results
What if you could go online, order a test kit in a box, and, based on the results, prevent disease and optimize your health? If that sounds too good to be true, that's because it is, says human genetics faculty member Laura Hercher.
In a December 2007 Scientific American article, Hercher discussed a new trend in genetics testing: "nutrigenetics" companies that sell test kits directly to consumers, ostensibly determine their genetic predisposition to various health risks, and then tailor nutritional recommendations to each individual's genetic profile.
"Their pitch is that if they look at your genes and your lifestyle—defined by a questionnaire—they can give you valuable advice about how to adjust your diet and your behavior to optimize your health," Hercher says. "This is a good idea on paper, but there are a few problems."
The test results could be helpful, but could also be misleading, she says. The tests turn up "tons of associative data, which are at best suggestive but often turn out just to be wrong." The science behind the tests isn't adequate to show a causative relationship between the gene variants and the tests' outcomes.
By comparison, the test that geneticists use to detect the breast cancer gene can pinpoint a breast cancer risk as high as 85 percent. The commercial tests can only suggest an increased risk of a few percentage points.
"The best advice nutrigenetics companies can come up with, based on all these complicated, high-tech tests, is the same thing your mom would tell you: Eat your vegetables, exercise, and get enough sleep," says Hercher.
"These tests are not exactly scams," she says, "although some of them include pitches for overpriced vitamins and supplements that really are scams."
And the downside to garnering information without interpretation by trained counselors is that "when people get predictions like this, they may either worry unnecessarily or, conversely, believe they have some immunity. Either misconception may lead them to make bad decisions."
Predictably, there are pressures on companies to turn a profit from new genetic testing technology, and nutrigenetics tests can cost between $900 and $2,500. The companies selling the tests are private, so Hercher doesn't have data on how many have been sold. But she does feel that "the potential is being oversold by commercial interests and the media, which may ultimately undermine the public's faith in genetic testing."
"I would recommend that people with specific concerns contact a genetic counselor or their doctor, or look for Web-based sources of information that are not-for-profit," she says. "There are some companies like DNA Direct that do more conventional tests and are a good option for people who can't or don't want to go through medical channels."

WASHINGTON D.C. (NNS) – The mission commander for Pacific Partnership 2011 met with representatives of the domestic and foreign press during a trip to the nation's capital beginning Feb. 27 and ending Mar. 4.
Capt. Jesse A. Wilson, commanding officer of Destroyer Squadron 23, based in San Diego, and mission commander of Pacific Partnership 2011 traveled to Washington to brief Navy leadership on the details of the upcoming deployment and speak to the press about the purpose of the Pacific Partnership mission.
"The tsunami in 2004, that affected the Indian Ocean basin and Oceania, really was the genesis for Pacific Partnership," Wilson said at a round-table interview with reporters from Asahi Shimbun, JiJi Press and Kyodo News from Japan and MBC TV & Radio from Korea. "The hospital ship, USNS Mercy, provided a lot of aid and support, and we saw that the outpouring of support from the region and the limiting of pain and suffering we were able to do. This year, we are embarking on the USS Cleveland (LPD 7), continuing the hard work done in past years."
At the invitation of the host nation, Pacific Partnership 2011 is scheduled to conduct humanitarian and disaster relief work in Tonga, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and the Federated States of Micronesia.
Citing comments from Vice Adm. Scott Van Buskirk, Commander, Seventh Fleet, Wilson pointed out that Pacific Partnership missions allow the U.S. Navy opportunities to work with regional militaries and improve interoperability in support of humanitarian and civil aid. He also commented that working with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) is a telling point about the way the Navy will engage in humanitarian operations in the future.
"All of the participants, whether they are military or civilian, are bringing worlds of experience to the table and have a genuine interest in working to improve our collective ability to respond to a natural disaster or humanitarian crisis," Wilson said. "We have found out that the more we [the partner nations] work together in building trust and confidence, the more effective we are when these natural disasters occur."
Partner nations will include Australia, Canada, France, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand and Spain. Pacific Partnership 2011 will be hosted by Tonga, Vanuatu, Papua-New Guinea, Timor-Leste, and the Federated States of Micronesia. Together, they will participate in medical, dental, engineering and veterinary civil action programs.
Over the past five years, Pacific Partnership has provided medical, dental, educational, and preventive medicine services to more than 300,000 patients in 13 countries. More than 130 engineering projects in more than a dozen countries have included school refurbishment and construction of entirely new clinics for providing essential medical services to remote villages and communities.

Baseball America's finds All-Star's scouting reports
Baseball America compiled a list of scouting reports on this year's All-Stars, from before they were in the majors.
The clip on Daniel Murphy is from after the 2007 season: "A below-average runner, he is more likely to move to first base than the outfield if his defense and/or David Wright's presence in New York forces the issue at third. The problem is Murphy's gap-to-gap power doesn't profile well at a less challenging position, though optimistic scouts believe he might hit 20 homers annually."
There are also reports on former Mets prospects Scott Kazmir and Carlos Gomez. >> Read more at Baseball America

What does RH9 and Fedora use for dialup access? Is there something similar to kppp?
pppconfig? /usr/sbin/pppconfig I believed. I haven't touch RH in a while so I'm not so sure. IIRC when I installed it for a friend in Asia, that's what I used.
well in the end it is using wvdial to get the job done.
Of course, but then again who wants Command Line?? :P
When shit fucks up, thats where you get the details.
Yeah, only when you HAVE to ...
Normally, it's a bitch to look at ( although it gets the job done so much quicker ).
Like yesterday, after compiling the new kernel, I managed to f*ck up my /var drive. So I had to recover the errors and run fsck manually. After all is done, all data on /var is gone. CLI was the only way to get, copy /var from other system and got it up and running again. But there were tons of errors ( mostly webmin related stuff since this box have no webmin ) but at least, I got back and x start again.

Nixon: Fracking provides local jobs, revenue
The oil extraction process known as hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," has gotten a lot of attention lately.
While much of it has been positive, there has been a concerted effort by some celebrities and activists to severely restrict or even ban the practice.
It's imperative that our elected leaders have all the facts before taking premature action to derail a technology that has the potential to create jobs, generate enormous tax revenues and drive the economic recovery California so desperately needs.
The Ventura County Board of Supervisors recently demonstrated sound leadership in that direction by voting to have the county counsel and CEO prepare a report on hydraulic fracturing activities in the region and the status of state regulations.
In addition to compiling that information the report should address and dispense with the many misconceptions that have been perpetuated by the anti-hydraulic fracturing movement. It should also, importantly, explore the economic benefits that deploying safe energy production methods can bring to Ventura County and the state.
Contrary to opponents' claims, all oil extraction activities in California are already strictly regulated by numerous federal, state and local agencies.
The fact that hydraulic fracturing has been employed in California for decades with no evidence that it has caused harm to groundwater or the environment strongly supports the conclusion that public health and the environment are well-protected by this regulatory framework.
Additionally, much allegedly unavailable information can actually be accessed by the public at http://www.fracfocus.org, a website jointly operated by the Interstate Oil and Gas Compact Commission and the Ground Water Protection Council. A majority of the state's oil producers voluntarily disclose their hydraulic fracturing activities on this site.
So, with apologies to Mark Twain, it appears the fears surrounding hydraulic fracturing are greatly exaggerated. Perhaps more attention should be paid to the advantages.
Often overlooked in the highly emotional debate over hydraulic fracturing are the enormous economic and energy security benefits it can bring.
According to a recent study based on 2009 data, oil and gas production already provides more than 19,000 jobs in Ventura, Santa Barbara, Monterey and San Luis Obispo counties, representing $1.3 billion in annual wages and salaries, $1.9 billion in income and more than $300 million in taxes and fees to state and local governments.
The potential for improving these already impressive statistics is very real.
Unlike the sensational claims of opponents, there is well-documented evidence of the unprecedented economic expansion associated with safely accessing previously untapped resources.
States that have embraced increasing their energy production in this manner, such as North Dakota, have seen a corresponding growth in high-paying jobs and economic activity with no documented evidence of environmental problems.
And increased production in the United States has been credited with reducing imports of foreign oil into the United States.
California, which has seen a steady increase of imports and trails the country in economic recovery, should take advantage of the resources it has in abundance and the technology required to safely use them. Ventura County citizens should share in these benefits.
There have been encouraging developments since the Board of Supervisors proactively initiated a local report on hydraulic fracturing. California's Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources (DOGGR) has released proposed new regulations on the process, which would impose many new requirements on oil producers, including additional disclosure of location and materials as well as testing of well safety.
DOGGR's action has opened the door to the type of discussion necessary to enhance public understanding of this well-established technology and further enhance existing protections for our water, environment and health.
Under the circumstances, a sensible course of action would seem to be for state and regional legislators to refrain from pursuing hasty regulations and instead allow the DOGGR process, which will afford stakeholders with ample opportunity for input, to unfold.
With the help of the research it recently ordered, the Ventura County Board of Supervisors can and should actively engage in the discussion to ensure the resulting rule making serves not only to protect our environment but to protect and improve our economy as well.

DETROIT -- Darren Helm made sure the Red Wings wouldn't be swept from the Western Conference Semifinals.
Helm took a perfect cross-ice pass from Patrick Eaves and buried the puck into an open side of the net past Antti Niemi with 1:27 left in regulation to give the Red Wings a 4-3 victory against the San Jose Sharks in Game 4 of their best-of-seven series Friday night.
The Sharks rallied from a 3-0 first-period deficit and tied the game early in the third period, but Helm's goal saved the Red Wings' season.
The Red Wings will try to avoid a repeat of last year's five-game loss to the Sharks when they play Game 5 of this series at HP Pavilion in San Jose on Sunday.
Following the game, Helm talked with the media and had this to say:
Q: How pressure-packed were those five minutes?
Helm: Our season was on the line there. We had a lot of good pressure the last 4-5 minutes and it really paid off. Patty made a great play to me. I saw an open cage and I just put it in there.
Q: Talk about the pass Patrick Eaves made on your goal. It looked like it was perfect.
Helm: Yeah, it was a great pass by Patty. He laid it nicely right in front of me.
Q: Was that third period as close to overtime as you can get without going to OT?
Helm: For us, it was an overtime game. Last five minutes, this place was noisy and we were fighting for our lives.
Q: For the younger guys, did the possibility of this being Nicklas Lidstrom's final game ever enter anyone's minds?
Helm: Well, we want him back, obviously. He does such great things for our team. He's great. I can't say enough about him.

For the final Nicer Tuesdays of the year we're returning to Downstairs at Mother London for a very special evening of talks celebrating what we feel are some of the creative highlights of 2013.
Joining us is French illustrator Jean Jullien who will talk about his show Allo? which playfully captured our ever-dependent relationship with technology, and artist Alex Chinneck whose jaw-dropping project from the knees of my nose to the belly of my toes attracted international attention from the media and art world alike by making the front of a Margate house appear to slide into the street!
Also speaking is founder and editor of Intern Magazine Alec Dudson, whose innovative approach to publishing has provided a platform for new talent whilst also pushing forward the debate over unpaid workers in creative industries, and Irish designer Amy West who will tell us about her hoax design project Grafik BS which turned a satirical eye on the proliferation of trend-driven graphic design in 2013.
As Christmas is just around the corner, there will also be an It's Nice That pop-up shop with a range of products to provide some last minute presents (for others, or you know, yourself).
As always with Nicer Tuesdays, the drinks are on us so come on down and round off the year in style!

The loss of a mother is a difficult experience. Funeral poems can bring comfort to grieving family members and friends. Poetry about mothers written with spiritual themes, poems written long ago by famous poets and poems by contemporary poets all have a place at a mother's funeral. Here are some tips to help you find and choose the right poems for a mother's funeral or memorial service.
Check the library for published poetry collections. Many libraries now how online access so that you can quickly locate and sometimes even view poetry books without leaving your home.
Search online for poems. Simply by entering "funeral poems for mothers" or "poems for mothers" in a search engine will yield many pages of results to explore.
Here are results from a recent search:
A Mother's Love by Helen Steiner Rice
Motherhood by Joaquin Miller
What is a Mother? by Francis Cardinal Spellman
She is Gone by David Harkins
Choose a poem that brings to mind your mother's character, faith, philosophy or acts of service. You may find a poem that will bring a smile to those attending her funeral. Just as in the eulogy and sharing of memories, a poem read at a mother's funeral can pay tribute to her life and help ease the pain of her loss.

Everything You Wanted To Know On Secret Ponchos
Yesterday we gave you a little tease of our interview with the Switchblade Monkeys team about Secret Ponchos, but we're not ones to keep our dear readers waiting. Here's the full Q&A with Lead Artist Jared Fry, which sheds some light on this very interesting game, coming soon to PS4 & PC. Enjoy!
- Welcome to Worlds Factory! Please, introduce yourself and your game to our readers.
Hello Worlds Factory and your readers! Thank you for talking to us! We, Switchblade Monkeys, are a small group of friends who have gotten together, like a garage band, and have been building Secret Ponchos from our homes. We have all been in the game industry for years and jumped on this opportunity to build a game we are all passionate about. There are a few of us that are working full time on the project and the rest are working on it in any moment they can. It is definitely a passion project that we are all completely invested in, and I think it shows.
Secret Ponchos is a spaghetti western graphic novel come to life. It is full of tension, action and is highly competitive. The bounty hunters you encounter in Lone Tree are weathered, gritty and are all gunning for your head. In order to survive you must be the best gun in the West and claim your notoriety, build your reputation and ultimately become a legend.
Secret Ponchos is an online combat game with duels, gang fights and free-for-all wars. You increase your character's reputation and level up your different attributes by dominating on the battlefield.
We have mixed top-down strategy with first-person shooter matchmaking and the responsiveness of a fighting game. We feel we have something special to share with you.
- First of all, Secret Ponchos seems an interesting blend of genres to say the least, with elements from shooters, fighting games and MOBAs. Did you deliberately aim for this, or perhaps the gameplay just evolved in this direction while developing?
We are so glad you picked up on this! We really set out to do something original in gameplay, and bring something new to combat genres.
The distance management and timing are inspired by fighting games and the tactics from shooters have been pillars from the beginning. Soul Calibur was a big inspiration for that. The top-down camera was necessary to make distancing a functional part of the shooter gameplay. It also gives you a great look at the environments and the mayhem going on around you.
We want to be able to get into a game as fast as possible but also be able to customize the modes within the match creation. First-person shooters have nailed that part of matchmaking, so we took one from their book. Secret Ponchos is always evolving. Everything we create and add inspires something new or something to improve. We won't stop working and improving it until people stop playing it.
- In one of the few available videos, one of the playable characters, "Kid Red", covers behind wooden logs. However, I haven't seen anyone else doing it; is this move available to every character or just him?
Cover is a mechanic that is available to all of the characters. Besides it being a classic defensive tactic, shielding you from bullets, we have added offensive perks by recharging your stamina faster, reloading faster and disappearing from your opponents' view. We have added a "line of site" (fog of war) mechanic to hide the characters from each other when they are behind cover or another object where the line of site is broken. You can imagine this open up all kinds of opportunity for flanks and ambushes.
- On your official website, you have a section dedicated to the Outlaws, the playable characters of Secret Ponchos, and each one has a different set of weapons and specific stats. However, on your "Game Info" page you mention that gamers will be able to upgrade the abilities (and appearance) of the outlaws, so can you talk a bit about progression? Will it be possible to change weapons/tweak stats of an outlaw?
Each character has been designed with specific primary and secondary weapons. The stats for the character can be adjusted and upgraded as you progress through matches and gain reputation points. You will be able to upgrade your speed, agility, reload time and shot damage. The stat upgrades will make a difference, but we want to keep the characters balanced so that a skilled player with a new character could still have a chance at beating a maxed-out character.
- Are there any modes other than deathmatch/team deathmatch and if so, can you describe them? Also, what's the maximum number of players in a match?
We can have up to 8 players on screen. We have matchmaking for 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, and 4 vs 4 and FFA. We have a Domination mode, where players respawn and the match is a tug of war to determine which team can get a 5-kill lead first. There is also a Deathmatch mode, where once a player is taken out in a round, he/she stays dead for the round. So your teammates have to be careful to stay alive, or you may end up alone against an enemy posse. Mix up any of the gameplay modes by adding in the powerups and get some epic battles! We have strong post-launch support planned, where we will be looking to add new gameplay modes in future updates.
- So far we've only seen one map in the videos, are going to be more of them with different layout, therefore requiring different strategies? Do you plan to add more maps/modes via DLC?
We will be shipping with 5 arenas, and each one is themed with a character in mind. They all have different layouts, density of cover objects and overall size. For example, Kid Red's Ranch is a small, tight arena with his family's burned-out house smoldering at the top of the map. It plays really well 1v1 as there are few places to hide. Another map is the "Bone Orchard," a dusty graveyard with open graves, broken walls, fences and crumbling tomb stones to hide behind, making it a great level for bigger battles. We have tried to make each location inspire different strategy and work with all game modes.
- You've talked about the bounty system which sounds very cool: by taking down another player, you gain notoriety based on their own. This sounds great for individuals, but what about clan fights and team wide notoriety? That could make for some awesome matches.
It is all about who has the best reputation. In Team matches bounty is awarded based on the performance of each outlaw during the shootout. For example, if one team member takes out 4 players singlehandedly, his/her bounty will go up significantly higher than their teammates. It's great motivation for someone who carries their team.
- What has been your experience developing with PlayStation 4? What's the single aspect of its hardware that you prefer above all?
Sony has been great to work with! The PS4 has given us the ability to increase the resolution all of our art, improve the lighting and give us a solid 60fps. The game is feeling great using the Phyre engine on the PS4. We are getting 60fps and the game feels smooth, super responsive and snappy. We are really happy about how it is playing.
- Are you implementing the DualShock 4's touchpad in any way and if so, how?
At this time we do not yet have plans of utilizing the touchpad, as the gameplay is really well suited for the analog sticks.
- I know that you have decided to stay console exclusive with PlayStation 4, but would like to bring the game to PC. Is this still in your plans and if so, would you enable cross-platform play, as Sony is open to it?
We always promised gamers we would do our best to bring it to PC, and great news: we have just announced the PC version, and best of all, the game is coming to Steam's Early Access program, maybe as soon as June! We are extremely excited to work with PC gamers to see how a community of players use Secret Ponchos, and work with them to both balance and polish the game.
- Quite a few gamers are puzzled by the constant lack of local multiplayer in the latest games. Will you support any form of it with Secret Ponchos?
We love local multiplayer, and worked hard to create split-screen co-op in Secret Ponchos. You will be able to take on the world's outlaws with your partner-in-crime on the couch. It's so much fun to have a teammate next to you and go online together.
- I understand that Secret Ponchos is focused on being a multiplayer game, but did you ever consider a campaign mode, maybe via DLC or even in a sequel, if there's enough demand for it?
We plan on supporting the community with new characters and arenas for as long as there is demand. We would love to be given the opportunity to develop the Secret Ponchos universe further with sequels and spin-offs. We also have some hopes to add AI modes into Secret Ponchos, for both offline and online play as we develop alternative game modes after launch!
- Finally, you mentioned a Q1 release date a few months ago. Are you still on track, or is Q2 more likely at this point? Also, can you comment on the likelihood of the game to be added to the Instant Game Collection?
As an online multiplayer game, we decided that last 10% of quality in balancing and polish means everything to us! So instead of putting the full game out right now, we are going to launch the game almost immediately in Early Access, and dedicate ourselves to a few months of just balancing and polishing to get things rock solid. Once it's there we'll be ready to launch the full PS4 version, and also a PC version thanks to the Early Access community. We hope you love it as much as we do!
Please follow us on our facebook page www.facebook\secretponchos.com , our twitter at @SwitchbladeMkys or best of all subscribe to our mailing list at www.secretponchos.com. We are going to have some major updates rolling out soon, and that's the best way to get involved!
- Thank you for your time.

Couple save pieces of Anderson history through two old homes
ANDERSON - Sun glistens off both porches — each painted completely white. Trees that are almost as old as this town shade the lawn here. Crepe myrtles bloom all about. And huge white columns announce the presence of both homes, standing as a reminder of how much history lives here.
If these walls could talk, they would have nearly two centuries of stories to tell.
The first home, 1103, dates its birth back to 1835, and was built by a man who brought Anderson its first general store. The second home was built in 1906 as a wedding gift for a granddaughter.
Welcome to 1103 and 1109 South Main St. in Anderson — two homes that sit a top a place some locals still remember as University Hill.
All these years, the homes, called Evergreen, have survived the wrecking ball despite periods of dilapidation and even fire. They have weathered the years thanks to the determination of Peter and Myrna Ryter.
This is a couple who sold a home in California and gave up a job in Tahiti to purchase the homes, located in the same town where Ms. Ryter's father grew up. Since 1982, they have battled with the expense of meeting building codes for two historic homes and the ups and downs of running a fine dining restaurant in the unlikeliest of neighborhoods.
To set the record straight, the dream of taking over Evergreen did not begin with both Ryters. It began first with Ms. Ryter. And the first step did not include both homes, just 1109.
"As soon as I saw this place, I just fell in love with it," Ms. Ryter said. "Growing up in California, I'd never seen anything like this. It was like 'Gone with the Wind.' "
Ms. Ryter was here visiting her parents. And against her father's advice — she admits with a smile — she talked with the home's owner, Chester Johnston, and sealed the deal with a $1,000. The only thing to do after that was convince her husband, Peter, to leave his job as a hotel manager in Tahiti so he could open a restaurant here.
The first part, the bit about the restaurant, would not be a hard sell. She knew that. But the moving-to-Anderson part of the deal would be harder.
That's because Mr. Ryter, a native of Switzerland, had only seen Anderson once. That was in 1978. And for a man used to California and Tahiti, this Southern town was too small and too quiet."I told Myrna that this place was one place I didn't want to live because there was nothing here," Mr. Ryter said, laughing.
But he came. When he arrived in April 1982 — four years after that first visit — Mr. Ryter said he was surprised at what he found. International companies were making their home here. And the home at 1109 South Main St. was beautiful.
At that point, Ms. Ryter's father had already started work on the home, repainting it three times and repairing an area near the kitchen that had burned when a burglar left a candle burning on a stack of papers. By September 1982, the restaurant, called 1109, was open.
For 17ƒ years, the Ryters made their home on the top floor of 1109, all while earning their living on the first floor, serving European, continental gourmet dishes to residents and corporate officials visiting Anderson.
They would go on to purchase the house next door, 1103 South Main — the home built in 1835. A veteran of the War of 1812, Samuel Girard Earle, built the home so his children could attend school in Anderson during the winter. The "city home" bore the same name as the Earles' plantation on Big Generostee Creek.
Under the Ryters' ownership, both South Main Street homes would house a combination of bed-and-breakfast, spa and restaurant over the years.
In December 2006, after 25 years as a chef at 1109, Mr. Ryter closed the restaurant and is now catering at people's homes for private events. And Ms. Ryter is expanding her day spa at 1109. Guests are still checking in for getaways at 1103.
Recently, Mr. Ryter recalled those early days in his restaurant.
"Some nights, you could come in here, and people were speaking different languages in every room," Mr. Ryter said. "It was incredible to find the international crowd here."
But there were frustrations too.
As their restaurant prospered, they watched the neighborhood around them change.
One home, next door to the Evergreen, was torn down to make way for a car wash. Just across the street is a car lot. It used to have a home on it too. Now it doesn't even have cars on it — just a slab of concrete.
"For so long, everything seemed to be happening on the other end of town," Mr. Ryter said.
Then there were the expenses of maintaining the Evergreen estate and the constant maintenance that the homes required. Putting a special paint on the house, a coating that is guaranteed to last 25 years, cost $65,000.
"It was always something," Mr. Ryter recalled. "You're always scraping, painting or sanding."
At times, the struggles made them consider leaving. But they stayed.
Now, neither have any regrets. Downtown Anderson is now gaining more attention — something that the Ryters hope will travel south on Anderson's main street. And all these years later, they are proud of what they have done to save a piece of this Southern town's history.
They came because they fell in love with the charm of a house at 1109 South Main St. They have stayed because they fell in love with the people here.
"We've had a lot of fun here," Mr. Ryter said. His wife agreed. "I am happier now than I have ever been in my life. I am happy we didn't leave when we wanted to."

How Does a Vegan Survive the Holidays? Deliciously.
Let's face it: to your average holiday reveler, the phrase "vegan dessert" has about as much appeal as, say, "asparagus milkshake." While being a vegan no longer seems to invite the kind of puzzlement and even outright hostility that it once did (like announcing you were a Communist), instead you can often expect a sort of pity, especially around the holidays. After all, the classic holiday treats are, at their essence, all about two fundamental ingredients that even the vegan's fellow traveler -- the vegetarian -- can enjoy without compromise: eggs and butter.
Corn and Black-Eyed Pea SaladPace Salsa & Picante
This colorful side dish features corn, black-eyed peas, green peppers and red onions, simply dressed with Pace® Chunky Salad.
Three Citrus Basil CocktailVegetarian Times
Basil lends a subtle herbal note to this citrus-berry cocktail.
Basic Roasted RutabagaFine Cooking Magazine
You can jazz up this basic recipe by adding Rosemary-Lemon Thyme Oil or Moroccan Spice Rub when you toss the rutabaga with olive oil and salt and pepper before roasting. Or toss the rutabaga with Sesame Sea Salt, Caramelized Shallot Butter, Ginger-Lemon Soy Splash, or Toasted Coriander & Garlic Oil after it comes out of the oven.
Ginger Chile Dipping SauceMonk Fruit In The Raw
This dipping sauce is perfect to accompany dumplings, grilled shrimp or chicken kebabs. Either pour the sauce into a bowl and set it on a tray accompanying them, or divide the sauce among 2 to 4 small bowls to set at each place.
GloggVegetarian Times
This bracing Swedish punch gets its kick from aquavit, a potent, potato-based liquor. The wine must steep with the spices for at least 12 hours before drinking, so begin your glogg a day ahead.
Garlicky BroccoliniFood & Wine
Jason Travi recommends using a peppery olive oil to saute the blanched Broccolini with the garlic and crushed red pepper. The recipe is delicious with a variety of other vegetables as well, such as cauliflower, snap peas, or green beans.
Peanut Noodle SaladBetty Crocker
Go vegetarian with a perky noodle salad that's ready in less than 30 minutes.
Slightly Spicy Sugar Snap Peas with Mint & LimeFine Cooking Magazine
Rather than letting an opened jar of curry paste languish in the fridge, try this unconventional approach of using the paste like a condiment for pan-steamed snap peas. The peas have a mild, slow-burning heat, but if you like things hotter, try doubling the curry paste. This treatment is also good with green beans or broccoli, though you may want to leave out the mint.
Garlic-Roasted Green Beans & Shallots with HazelnutsFine Cooking Magazine
Chopped hazelnuts are a fine flavor match for green beans--and a refreshing departure from the more expected almonds.
Minty PeasParents
Best-of-the-West Bean SaladPace Salsa & Picante
This scrumptious bean salad combines kidney beans, pinto beans, sliced red onion and diced green pepper dressed with a flavorful combination of Pace® Picante Sauce, cilantro, oil and vinegar.
Baked Sesame TomatoesParents
Charro BeansFood & Wine
"Most people prefer margaritas either frozen or on the rocks. In Texas, it's the same with refried beans versus charro," says Tim Love. Refried beans are made with mashed pintos; for charro -- a Tex-Mex take on pork and beans -- the beans are served whole in a spicy broth.
White Beans in Tomato SauceFood & Wine
This lush, stewlike dish is typically made with zolfini beans, a pale yellow Tuscan legume that can be challenging to find in the U.S.; firm, creamy cannellini beans are an excellent substitute.
Chickpeas with Tomatoes and CarrotsFood & Wine
Starting with dried chickpeas instead of canned ones makes all the difference in this citrusy side dish. Although soaking and cooking the chickpeas takes a bit more time, the effort is minimal.

Full color clamshell w/ spot UV accents. Hardcover cover interior book, full color cover w/ spot UV accents - 11 x 13.5 x 2". 356 full color pages. $100.00USD. Limited to 1,000 copies.
This book will be first made available at NEW YORK COMIC CON 2011, at Booth M13. And if you're up for a challenge and building some muscle mass (the book weighs around 8 pounds - which is about 3.6 kilos to the European contingent), please drop by and get a copy for yourself. It will be my great pleasure and honor to meet all of you in attendance.
A special thanks to all those who've contributed to the making of this art book. It would not look as polished nor as impressive without your generosity and support of my work. I owe you kind folks many great thanks.
Another exemplary individual who deserves my utmost gratitude and respect - an individual whose keen eye for color the clamshell of this book made it look as good as it does - is the very tireless, very patient, and very talented TONY WASHINGTON. He is a true professional who not only helped to add the beautiful colors on the first image you see above, but also delivered it in such short notice that I'm beginning to suspect that he's actually less human and more like a painting super machine. Thanks, Tony. I have your copy waiting.
Finally, I'd like to offer up my eternal gratitude to AMANDA LI - the person directly responsible for formatting, assembling, and designing this entire monstrosity of a volume. She not only had to deal with me and my art, but also had to engross herself with the business of printing - from double-checking proofs of the book, to addressing and amending any and all notes/concerns about the book during pre-press (and post-press, for that matter), to fielding and answering a whole set of incidental yet important questions that a first time publisher has to deal with. She did it all with style and it wouldn't have been as impressive a product without her artistic touch. Thanks, Amanda. You're all class.
Hope you all have an enjoyable week.

|Foxx the Negotiator
|Wednesday, 05 September 2007 20:12
Congressman Virginia Foxx says her experience in education contributed to her appointment as a House conferee for a Higher Education bill.Foxx had several concerns she shared with the committee.
"Every time federal money goes in to help students, the colleges raise their tuition," Foxx says.
One way to address that concern would be through work-study programs, Foxx said.
"There's probably 30 years worth of study that show that work study is probably the most effective federal benefit to education."
Foxx says her idea is even getting bipartisan support.

Priced: BMW X1 Compact CUV to Start at $31,545, Offers Exclusive 300-HP U.S. Model
Who doesn't want a cab driver driving something that top heavy?
Cab is made in MEXICO
A movie today in New York with this thing? I prefer to watch an old starsky and hutch movie than to go to New York and see the city from this car. It's really the end of the fascination
American brand? sort of. Made in Turkey? Yes.
A low annoyance horn is useful when the vehicle is honking! I don't know about you, but I've trained my 2004 Mach1 not to honk unless I tell it to.
Hey Angus, I see you're hiring high school dropouts as writers.
Anyone else think this looks similar to the "Johnny Cab" taxis in Total Recall? I'll have to see Swarzenneger in one to be sure...
What alot of you don't know is that the NV200 is made in the states. They have 2 plants in Mississippi and Tennessee that will produce the new cab. Some foreign parts but also American parts as well. Most domestic cars are made with foreign parts as well. Just FYI
I still don't see why the Ford Transit Connect didn't make the cut. It's an American branded vehicle, looks to have more space than that ugly NV200, and probably gets the same amount of mpgs. Oh, and you can also get an electric one, with probably a hybrid coming in a few years. Scratching my head...
My thoughts exactly, Nissan did there homework, way to go Nissan!
I think its a disgrace that the big 3 couldnt/wouldnt produce a vehicle to compete with Nissan. If the New York Taxi cab commission is handing 600K passengers PER DAY Im pretty sure they know what their doing. They obviously picked the vehicle that could best handle their needs. Hats off to Nissan.
I disagree mat it is much cooler then the ones we have now becuase there is alot more stuff inside then we have in the old ford taxis and it eco freindly comment back to me if you disagree
I still see it as an utter DISGRACE that NYC didn't pick an American brand to be their next cab. Look at most other major cities in the world, they use cabs made by their domestic brands, or the brand that supports their country the most. When people come to NYC, especially people from foreign countries, they think America, they think about the NYC cab being some big AMERICAN sedan. It's a disgrace.
I must say that looks pretty cool. I wonder how it will hold up compared to the Crown Vics? What about maintenance cost? And why not tell us the actual mileage?

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — U.S. stocks finished higher Tuesday, with the Dow industrials scoring their biggest one-day gain since Sept. 13, buoyed by strong earnings from several major companies and reports that Spain is mulling a request for a line of credit from the European Union.
"The market had a solid rally today," said Robert Fuest, head of investment research at Landor & Fuest Capital Managers. "The continuation will only come if we ... remain on a more positive note — or less negative, if you will — with upcoming economic releases and the continued appearance that the euro zone will continue cooperating with their members."
The blue-chip Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA, +0.08% rallied 127.55 points, or 1%, to close at 13,551.78, with 24 of its 30 components finishing higher.
The benchmark index marked a third straight session of gains as well as its highest close since Oct. 8. Its gain was the largest since the day the Federal Reserve announced its third round of quantitative easing.
Several Dow companies reported generally robust earnings ahead of Tuesday's opening bell, including Johnson & Johnson JNJ, -1.41% UnitedHealth Group Inc. UNH, -3.01% and Coca-Cola Co. KO, -0.12%

The S&P 500 index SPX, -0.36% gained 14.79 points, or 1%, to close at 1,454.92, with energy and materials the top gainers among its 10 industry groups. The index also notched its highest close since Oct. 8.
Anthony Lazzara, chief executive officer of Newport Beach, Calif.–based Lido Isle Advisors, pointed out that the S&P 500 has reached its key 1,450 level. "Yearly highs are close in sight, and we expect those to be breached soon," he said.
Murphy Oil Corp. MUR, +3.38% rallied 8%, the second-best gainer in the S&P 500, on news that the company's board has approved the spinoff of its U.S. downstream unit. See: Energy stocks up; Murphy rallies more than 6%.

Court Papers Claim Government Responsible in Deutsche Fire Deaths
New York, NY —
Court papers filed Wednesday claim that government agencies, more than construction workers, are to blame for the deaths of two firefighters at the former Deutsche Bank building.
The documents were filed on behalf of three construction supervisors and a demolition subcontractor. They also claim prosecutors withheld evidence from the grand jury that was favorable to the defense.
The Manhattan district attorney's office said it will respond to the filing later. Charges against the supervisors and the John Galt Corporation include second-degree manslaughter.
The fire broke out at as it was being dismantled on Aug. 18, 2007. It was filled with toxic debris from 9/11.
Two city managers were reprimanded over botched inspections. The defense also faults state and federal agencies.

Show Off 3 by Brian Tudor (DVD Download) The pioneer of high-speed, visual card magic and ATTITUDE WITH A PACK OF CARDS presents a new chapter in his life's work. Show Off 3 is aggressive and packed with passion, just like the man.
In stock: Download INSTANTLY.
"Showoff Vol. 3" is undoubtedly both more polished and audacious than its two predecessors (the groundbreaking "Showoff" was released in 1999 followed by a second equally important volume "Showoff 2" in 2001) and is almost certainly destined to be recognized as one of the most important collections of card flourishes ever released.

The sort of thing you buy just to complete the set Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 20th, 2008
We all know the guy has incredible skills. Also, I really like Show Off 1,2 & GenX. I didn't like this. I have three issues with it:
1) Very familiar. The moves are just combinations or variations on things you've seen before. With enough prior XCM experience these are the sorts of moves you will have thought up yourself.
The "Tudor Tower" - just a 7 packet line cut from the table to his nose. Like I haven't seen that a thousand times.
Asher, "diving board shouldn't be a double!" - the title speaks for itself. It's Lee Asher's diving board double with a packet rather than two cards.
2) He makes a big deal out of how original the revolution cuts are, then does REV 4. This is an needlessly awkward version of a cut I've done and seen other people do for as long as I can remember. It was the same for REV 3 (It's just something people come up with when they get their Charlier wrong). Also REV 2 was a variation on a cut people have been doing since before he was born. Maybe he thought these up independently but they were not original. REV 1 I will give him, and it is brilliant.
3) Without the swearing and ranting it's only about 15mins long for 11 flourishes. Having said this, I actually think the teaching is OK on most of the moves as long as the people watching have enough XCM experience to be remotely capable of them.
Overall, if you're really into your XCM and you have the money to burn then you might get a couple of things from this, probably not any more than that. If that's not you then look elsewhere.
Not as bad as fellow reviewees say Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 25th, 2008
This DVD is not that bad. People don't like the DVD because he doesn't explain things thoroughly. I think he does fine. If you can't see that this the THIRD volume. You obviously have to purchase the first two. You wouldn't watch a movie by starting with the last third!!! In order to learn the moves he assumes you already know, I would suggest purchasing Generation Extreme. You can buy it on Penguin under the XCM section on the left. Generation X teaches you the first three one-handed revolutions, many sible variations that you need to know, and the original Castro Cut. (there are two variations on this DVD) Once you have mastered all, or at least most of, the material on Generation X, buy this. It is awesome.
The only reason it did not receive 5 stars is because of the cussing. There is a lot of it, but, I must say, Penguin does warn you about it. With the previous knowledge required to understand the moves, this DVD is great.
People are just too lazy and do not want to practice. Anything worth doing, including XCM, requires lots of practice. It is just that simple. If you are willing to put in the practice time, you will seriously increase your skill.
My favorite moves are Rev 4 and 5, the Tudor Tower (I invented a slight variation to get !9! vertical packets!), and the Tudor Production.
Overall, I think it is good.
ADD TO CART!(once you have mastered Generation X!!)
Uh... Report this review

I really didn't know what to say after watching this the first time... The flourishes presented here take TONS of skill and are HIGHLY original. Now, does that mean this is a good DVD?
Nope. Because it lacks ONE element that would make this DVD a 4 star. TEACHING.
He basically performs the flourishes. Then there is ONE little clip of it in slow-mo (maybe 2 clips) that last for a few seconds, and then Brian comes on there and curses out other flourishers and talks about how he is the best in the world.
I definitely don't recommend this DVD.
Sad for Tudor... Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on April 11th, 2008
Hi guys...I'm a big fan of Tudor's work on card flourishing, and thought he was the very best till now...I just finished looking at the very short vol.3 of the amazing Show Off series...nothing compare to the 2 first parts...
I'm really desappointed, and after thinking that it's a shame to release a DVD like this, I fell just sad now for Tudor, because he is really really angry, and he shows it openly!
Before any explanation I should mention: BEGINNERS IN CARDS FLOURISHING: RUN AWAY and buy yourself onother volume like the 1 and the 2nd...YOU'RE NOT GOING TO LEARN ANYTHING here...NOTHING!!!
Even when you know already all the mooves that he's using, it's nearly impossible to follow! For nearly every flourish, it goes like this:
- first the demo,
- than 1 or 2 times "speed" slow motion with 2 different angles,
- and than, when he fell like doing it, some vocal "angry" explanations, like if we had to fell miserable to need his words to understand the flourish...
Finally, just look at it and try to figure it out by your own, but his angry attitude just made me want to turn it off.
("So...why 3 stars...???")
Than, at the very end of the DVD, Tudor speaks and explain his feeling, and shows his warrior face...he's been so much criticized for everything that he's now very angry and ready to fight everyone against his art...
THIS MAN IS A CREATOR, and brought so much to card flourish that it's a shame to clash him for his bad explanations in all of his DVDs...he said it, "I'm not good with words!!!", what could he do more? He showed the world his creations (think about how oftenly-used is the one hand revolution 1 in cards flourish...and I don't mention his works on the Sybil...) and the world blame him for that??? Because not a good teacher??? I don't agree...people made him became angry...and that's why I put 3 stars to this DVD that you should buy only if you want to thanks Tudor and show him your support and recognition on what he did for cards flourish...othewise, don't buy it.

Flourish with Attitude Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 6th, 2008
I have to agree with the other reviewer who said that it is unfortunate to see Tudor express his anger the way he did. But in all honesty, I think the attitudes portrayed throughout this DVD shows the devotion and the passion this man has for art of card magic. Listen to what he says carefully: they are not simply a rant; they carry more meaning than they seem. Apply what he says to our own performance in magic (I assume most of us purchase magic rather than take time to create an effect); shopping here for the latest effect may be a quick fix, but creating one's own material should be far more gratifying. Tudor will tell you the same thing, but you gotta buy the DVD just to see how he says it; I love it.
My favorite quote in the DVD was where he said "The argument from oldschool magicians say that "don't show off skill because it takes away from magic"... it's true, but so is comedy". There are other anecdotes Tudor blurts out that I agree with him wholeheartedly.
Personally, I believe that if people can fully master the flourishes that he throws at them, wasting valuable minutes with technical terms for every single minute detail is indeed a waste of time. Given the kind of material Tudor has to teach, criticizing his "poor" instructional skills (which I don't think is poor at all, considering the multiple-angle and slow motions he shows, it's no better or worse than Buck Twins System) is inappropriate in comparison to other magic instructions. Plus, he'll tell you all the information you need to know anyway. The rest is a knack; folks, it's an instruction flourish for XCM(and a very difficult one at that), it has to be, otherwise everybody would be able to do it.
I recommend this DVD to those who can digest Tudor's previous flourish materials. Don't pay attention to other reviews for criticizing instructional quality because all the information is there to do this. (except for the very last cut, which even Tudor can't fathom to explain... it's hilarious yet mesmerizing at the same time of how this man does this without even thinking)
NEGATIVE REVIEWS ARE FROM NEGATIVE PEOPLE Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 12th, 2008
This is my first purchase of a Brian Tudor product and I really liked it! This guy is awesome with his flourishes and the time, effort and patience he puts into his creations show! I need to purchase his first 3 dvds so that I can learn more! I learned from his dvd, and in my opinion everybody teaches in their own way,in the end what matters is what you've learned, right? Brian Tudor is very talented and if you want to learn his awesome flourishes, don't let these negative reviews keep you from learning from the best! MAGIC--> LEARN IT! KNOW IT! LIVE IT!
Great material Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on June 12th, 2008
Alright, I give this 5 stars for what Tudor created, which is amazing. All these flourishes are awesome for lack of constuctive words and you will find them great and use them.
This said though, this material is HARD! Not only that but Brian teaching isn't full and step-by-step, which is ok. He's trying to get you to make variations, he even tells you to create your own material in the DVD.
Also, begginers run away. No not Generation Extreme run away, I mean get the heck outta Dodge run away! You will not, I repeat not get this material. Get XB and the System and Generation Extreme and the other Showoffs and all that stuff before this!
Even if you think you're ready being an advanced flourisher, you aren't. Penguin should move the warning on Gen. Ex. to here because this time it's dead serious and I'm dead serious.
This DVD was shot by Brian Tudor for Brian Tudor, you will get little out of Brian's creative mind by getting this.
I got nothing out of this, it's way too advanced, but don't let this ease you hereing a begginer (me) say this, this stuff is still hard.
Go buy a svengali deck and be happy, and if you want the most modern cutting edge card manipulation, click off this page and go elsewhere because this is beyond modern, it's Tudor.
DON'T BUY IT! Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on July 4th, 2008
This is a piece of garbage.
Throughout the whole thing he seems to be angry and not really desiring to share his secrets. He keeps cursing every 5 words and doesn't really explains what he's doing.
In a few words, the material is good, but the explanation is not.
If you're not into XCM do not even bother to begin to consider to buy this DVD. Only after you've mastered some XCM moves and have watched his previous works, THEN start to begin to consider to buy it.
