I was skeptical as I put the marinade together and even while I cooked it, but it was excellent. Mild in flavor but really tender. I would make this chicken again and maybe add it to a saladflag if inappropriate
I've made this recipe several times to rave reviews. I marinate it longer than specified and substitute a coriander chutney for the one mentioned here. Not sure what planet the rest of these folks are on.flag if inappropriate
Chutney was good, the chicken was NOT good. Period.flag if inappropriate
Chicken is chicken? Can't take anything you say seriously after that comment, Manhattan!flag if inappropriate
I only made the chutney (chicken is chicken). Although I didn't love it, I think it did serve it's purpose as a chutney - which is to add contrast to the dish with which it's served. Beyond that, folks, it's only personal preference. Dana Wherever California person is lucky enough to be "the one" who is able to determine what is good and bad for EVERYONE! Moreover, s/he has the power to cast shame upon a publication for printing this recipe! What pressure! Is that an elected position or by appointment?flag if inappropriate
Everyone's taste buds are different. One person may be able to eat a scotch bonnet pepper without blinking an eye, but another may start crying just by looking at it. It's rude to assume that the cook did something wrong because they thought it was bland. Judging, however, from many of the reviews, it sounds as though the chicken IS bland for those who like it spicier.flag if inappropriate
I wish I'd read the reviews about the relish being so awful. I'm of the same opinion; it simply is not worth making. I didn't love the chicken; perhaps it could've used a squeeze of lemon, fresh garlic, and salt?? My guests didn't rave as they usually do when I make something they love. Luckilly, my reputation was saved by dessert-- try the blueberry tart (Aug.2002, B.A).flag if inappropriate
The chutney was "ghastly"? LOL!! Couldn't agree more-- it was much too heavy on the ginger, to the point of being ridiculous. The chicken was fair, not great by any means. Doubtful that I'd make again.flag if inappropriate
Loved the chicken as did our guests. The chutney was only ho-hum however. We did the grilled eggplant w/yogurt-mint sauce (same issue) and I used that sauce on the chicken instead of the chutney. I'd do the chicken again but probably not the chutneyflag if inappropriate
Those of us who didn't like this recipe should not be made to feel as though our cooking skills lack. Dana Point may very well have not done something "wrong"-- she/he just didn't care for the chicken. For that matter, neither did I. To me, it WAS bland. How is a half-teaspoon of cardamom, cinnamon, etc. supposed to make an impression on all that meat, while at the same time drowned in yogurt? The chutney was ghastly. As someone else mentioned, the ginger was overpowering. So I guess as far as seasoning goes (for this recipe at least) Bon Appetit either hits us over the head with a flavor, or else completely masks it. Obviously, I'd never make this again, even if my family hadn't begged me not to.flag if inappropriate

If you're considering taking advantage of the tax benefits available for individual retirement accounts, or IRAs, you have only a few days left to do so for the 2012 tax year.
While you may feel the need to hurry, haste will make waste if you don't take the time needed to ensure that your IRA contribution complies with the tax code and your financial institution's operational requirements.
The following are some general guidelines.
Note the year on your contribution
If you send in your 2012 IRA contribution now, be sure to notify your IRA custodian that you want it to be allocated for 2012. Some financial institutions provide special forms that can be used for this purpose, and some will accept a notation on a check such as in the memo field.
If your financial institution provides a form for contributions, it is still recommended that you make your notation on your check, just in case it gets separated from the form before being deposited.
If you don't indicate that the contribution is intended for 2012, the tax code allows your financial institution to treat it as a contribution for 2013.
Meet the deadline
Tax filing extensions don't apply to IRA contributions. As such, your contribution for 2012 must be made by April 15, 2013. If you deliver your contribution in person, be sure to ask for a receipt from your financial institution. If they misplace or lose your contribution, documented proof that they did in fact receive it by the deadline should be sufficient for accepting a replacement check after the deadline.
If you send in your contribution by mail, your envelope must be postmarked no later than April 15.
Use an IRS approved delivery service
If you are sending in your IRA contribution by mail, your financial institution will treat it as a 2012 contribution only if it is postmarked by April 15, 2013. For this purpose, the IRS designates a short list of delivery service that meets their requirement for "timely" delivery.
These are:
- DHL Express (DHL): DHL Same Day Service.
- Federal Express (FedEx): FedEx Priority Overnight, FedEx Standard Overnight, FedEx 2 Day, FedEx International Priority, and FedEx International First.
- United Parcel Service (UPS): UPS Next Day Air, UPS Next Day Air Saver, UPS 2nd Day Air, UPS 2nd Day Air A.M., UPS Worldwide Express Plus, and UPS Worldwide Express.
Check with the private delivery service about how to get written proof of the mailing date for your IRA contribution.
Stay within your limit

It's true! We can ship frozen Flying Pie pizzas overnight! We cook the pizzas half way and then freeze them. When they arrive on the other end, you thaw them out and pop them in the oven. We recently sent two 12" No Vegy Pieways (with double garlic!) to South Dakota for Mother's Day. Cool mom, huh?
We can send overnight pizzas anywhere USPS offers overnight service. Another option is FedEx, but it's easily twice as expensive as the post office. And we've had wonderful service and success with the post office, so that seems to be the way to go!
In 2008 we changed the way we ship pizzas. We used to use dry ice and a Styrofoam-lined box, but after countless hours of very careful research, we upgraded to frozen gel packs and an insulated pizza jacket. Before this change, we averaged about two shipments per year. Since we improved and systematized our shipping method, we've done 28 overnight pizza shipments, and we only lost one! (It was during the holidays and the airplanes were iced over – it was a disaster. The pizzas finally made their way back to us…a week later! Ugh! The whole thing, damp cardboard box, thawed half-cooked pizzas and all, went straight out to the dumpster.)
Fun Facts:
The most expensive box we've shipped, so far: $196.87 through FedEx for two larges to Honolulu, HI. (This doesn't include the pizzas or shipping materials).
The most expensive shipping through USPS: $107.90 for two larges and two mediums to University City, MO.
Our most famous recipient: The crew editing the the Man v Food footage for the Boise episode… they got hungry and called in an order! Four larges: Zambini, Chile N Lime, Vegy and Zerto.
Heaviest box: 24 pounds 11 ounces. (This was a box of four larges)
Farthest distance: Honolulu (3305 miles) followed by Philadelphia (2440 miles). We have had customers take frozen pizzas home with them (including at least one batch to Alaska), but as far as the pizzas we've shipped overnight, the farthest is to Hawaii. Years ago we helped someone package up pizzas to transport to New Zealand, but they arranged for the transportation. (There are strict rules about international shipments of perishable food, so we just leave that one alone. We only ship within the United States.)
Longest Drive: To Walla Walla, WA. When Lesley got the Post Office to ship the box of pizzas, it turns out there is no overnight service from Boise to Walla Walla! Since we'd already promised these pizzas to our customer, Lesley hopped in her car in drove the 9 hours, roundtrip, to deliver the pizzas. (And now Step One when taking an order for an overnight pizza shipment is to make sure they are in an Overnight Shipment area!)
Ready to ship some amazing pizzas overnight? Give us a call at 208-376-3455 or send us an email to email@example.com.

UFO sightings above Lincolnshire town
Posted: August 05, 2013|
REPORTS have been made of possible UFO sightings in the Sleaford area within the last few nights.
Hovering, flashing lights, have reportedly been seen from Heckington and from Sleaford.
Pete Willerton, from Heckington, said he has seen the lights from his home at around 10pm the last couple of nights.
He said: "It looks a bit like a chinese lantern but it flashes and changes colour from orange to red to white. It moves around slightly then just disappears.
Related content
"It was in the direction of Asgarby."
Pete said he moved to Heckington from Sleaford last year but used to see the same lights hovering around the Bass Maltings area when he lived there.
A Twitter user called @lincssimon tweeted yesterday: "Did anyone grab a video of the strange dancing lights over Sleaford last night? #ufo #lincs".
Then last night he tweeted: "Has anyone got a camera handy. There's strange lights in the sky over Sleaford right now. #lincs #ufo" followed by: "They disappeared then instantly reappeared halfway across the sky. It looks like they can also come to an instant stop #sleaford #lincs #ufo".
Have you seen the lights? Get in touch firstname.lastname@example.com.

First, nobody who wants to stay young should smoke. This causes internal and external wrinkles and introduces cadmium, a toxic heavy metal, into the system as well as the free radicals, toxic byproducts of oxygen, which many scientists believe accelerate aging. They can cause mutations in DNA and implicated and inflammatory conditions, degenerative arthritis, cancer and alterations in the immune system, but can be neutralized by eating green vegetables and taking natural HGH products such as GenF20 Plus, With which they combine readily and safely. If you're interested in products such as GenF20 Plus, you can visit the GenF20 Plus website HERE.
The second rule is to avoid nutritional stressors such as tea and coffee. 'These do you no good at all,' said Dr de Winter. 'We've been programmed to believe that a cup of tea is relaxing, but all caffeine drinks stimulate the system and add stress. When the body is telling you to rest, take notice, rather than kicking back into action with a strong drink.
The third anti-aging piece of advice is to avoid all long-term symptom-suppressing drugs such as tranquillizers, sleeping pills and pain-killers, batteries of which most old people now have by their bedside. 'All chemical pills such as these hasten the aging process,' Dr de Winter said. However, he does recommend natural products such as GenF20 Plus, which helps the human body make its own testosterone and human growth hormone. You can read more about GenF20 Plus at this product review site.
And finally, avoid all hard drugs of addition. This includes alcohol. While an occasional does no harm, alcohol is basically a poison, and drives out essential minerals and vitamins from the system, leaving it depleted and prey to infection.
Dr de Winter believes the question of heredity is a 'beautiful excuse'. 'Cancer, for instance, runs in families, but so does the way we live. I think it is more likely that bad habits and bad examples are passed on, rather than actual genes which make us age quickly.'
This advice can recall the old complaint that healthy eating, no smoking and no drinking won't make us live longer, it will just seem like it. However, Dr de Winter says: 'It's a question of motivation. Those who seriously want to stay young will heed the advice.'
The biggest factor by far in youth preservation is attitude. 'The aging process is set in motion by the breakdown of the immune system, which is intimately affected by stress levels,' he said. 'It is one's view of oneself which is the main determining factor in health and illness. I have observed so many times that those who are self-pitying, defeatist and melancholy are far less likely to recover than cheerful, outgoing individuals. Those who don't, won't. Strange as it may seem there are people who actually prefer to be old and decrepit.
You are young so long as you wake up in the morning and your body is silent, not complaining in any way. It is always a good sign if you don't know where your vital organs are. It means they are not playing up.

Cancer is a disease that is feared by many people . The causes of cancer could be anything , even unconscious stuff that is close to our daily life can be a cause of cancer . Trivial things like detergent or white bread and chips may cause cancer .
Things like what can cause cancer ;
Laundry soap or detergent.Not unexpectedly turns detergents can cause cancer , this is due to the presence of 1,4 - dioxane with the threat level 3 . Although detergent can eliminate stubborn stains dibaju , it also left a toxic chemical in the same place . Like what is evidenced by the Environmental Working Group , the U.S. in 2011 .
In that study found the presence of 1,4 - dioxane in the soap . Actually, this content does not cause cancer in humans , but can lead to liver tumors and respiratory systems of mice . The content of 1,4 - dioxane is not listed in the detergent label because this is not a waste of detergent composition itself.
In anticipation of these cleaners use more eco-friendly clothing . Detergent or note the label that you will use when Polyethylene , Polyethylene glycol , PEG , polyoxyethylene or other composition that ends oxynoi and eth usually contain dioxane .
Wrinkle -free clothes.Formaldehyde but can make no wrinkled clothes was also dangerous because there is evidence that formaldehyde can cause cancer in the human nose and respiratory system in any form . And even more dangerous if my friend using formaldehyde containing multiple items at once , it can pose a higher risk . There is no safe level of exposure to these compounds .
In anticipation of these reduce contact between the skin and clothing is by re- using ordinary shirt . But if it is still often wear wrinkle-free clothing made in advance to be sure to wash the clothes because, according to the California Environmental Protection Agency emisis it can reduce up to 60 percent formaldehyde .
Fries , Chips and Bread.Fries , Chips and Bread Acrylamide chemical compounds contained therein . These compounds typically used to treat wastewater .
According to Timothy Fennell, Ph, D director of the division of toxicology RTI International ," When high carbohydrate foods processed with this kind of high temperature, the amino acid asparagine reacts with sugars in food and forming acrylamide" .
When the body reacts to the acrylamide can cause DNA mutations that could increase the risk of cancer . To anticipate choose a meal that can be processed in a short time with a low temperature . If forced to frying , try not to get too charred . In addition try soaking potatoes before frying in the water for two hours . According to experts from the UK , this method can reduce the buildup of acrylamide in potato by more than half .
Glass or Styrofoam box of food.We are already very familiar at all with Styrofoam , when the material is quite dangerous for our bodies . Because Styrofoam materials are styrene that can trigger chemical compounds that can damage DNA. According to David Andrews, Ph.D. , of the Environmental Working Group to anticipate this to avoid various kinds of products made of Styrene including coffee cups , and most importantly, not to heat food in styrofoam or box made of polystyrene food containers , particularly food fat can trigger the release of Styrene .
To be able to tell if a plastic box of food containing polystyrene or not is to look for the number " 6 " at the bottom of the box , if there is then most likely the lunch box containing polystyrene .
Red Rice.Brown rice with certain brands found to contain chemical compounds of arsenic . Usually these compounds are found in a variety of weapons to battle like a gun or rifle . According to Michael Hansen , Ph.D. , senior researcher at Consumers Union , the U.S. , Arsenic can disrupt DNA repair system of a person's body , so when the cells are damaged and its DNA can not be repaired , it can make it susceptible to mutations that can cause cancer .
To anticipate advisable to first wash the brown rice before cooking . When eating out try to restrict consume foods made from rice or rice into two portions a week only.
Electric cigarettes.Electric cigarettes can also cause cancer risk in part this is because there are electric cigarettes that contain nitrosamines. The FDA found that nitrosamines contained in a particular electric cigarette products .
Well, from now on be careful in consuming or using the material presented above. This is to avoid cancer is so feared by many people .

California Legislature Approves $7.5 Billion Water Bond
New bond invests in local water supply projects, groundwater storage and safe drinking water
With California Gov. Jerry Brown's support, the state legislature approved, on a bipartisan basis, a $7.5 billion water bond that would provide clean drinking water for disadvantaged communities and provide $1.5 billion for water recycling, storm water capture, water efficiency and other local water supply projects.
The bond provides substantial funding to restore watersheds across the state, including the Los Angeles River, San Joaquin River and Salton Sea. It also provides as much as $3.6 billion in funding for groundwater storage and cleanup projects.
The bond does not provide funding for the controversial Bay Delta Conservation Plan. Surface storage projects like Temperance Flat and raising Shasta Dam are likely ineligible for funding and would have to compete for funding against more cost-effective groundwater recharge projects.

Curious about the newer model? Check out the 2016 Ford Transit Connect Passenger
By KBB.com Editors
To meet the needs of small businesses and practical-minded consumers, Ford is bringing the Transit Connect, formerly available in Europe and other spots around the globe, to the United States. Why bring a somewhat funky car/van/wagon to America? Because schlepping moderate amounts of goods around town in a traditional commercial cargo van is often inefficient, while small panel vans like the Chevy HHR can be just too small. In kind of a "just right" size, the Transit Connect offers a lower price, lower operating costs and more versatility than bigger vans, and it's been well-proven in some tough areas. There really is nothing quite like it on the American market.
Whether it's household cargo or small-business goods, the Ford Transit Connect has a spacious and tall interior, and available 255-degree-opening rear doors, all of which offer more capability than the narrow and more limited space of the Chevy HHR.
One downside to the Transit Connect is that its overall compact size might not be able to deal with bulky objects that would be easy to haul in larger cargo vans.
After years of great success in Europe and elsewhere, the Ford Transit Connect has been brought to the United States for those buyers looking for something big enough to carry moderately large cargo, small enough to easily navigate narrow roads and equipped with the necessary in-cabin technology capable of keeping their cargo, jobs and daily lives organized.
Driving Impressions
Driving the 2010 Ford Transit Connect is not unlike driving the average minivan. Although it may be tall, the Transit Connect is only three inches wider than the alt_o_t='Ford Focus'>Ford Focus, making it easy to fit into small parking spaces and drive down narrow streets. The vehicle's 39-foot turning radius comes in handy, making for easy U-turns and parking, and the overall steering effort was light and responsive. While the four-cylinder engine is adequate for hauling duty and getting up to freeway speeds, we wish that Ford had brought over the diesel powerplant that's available in the European Transit Connect.
255-Degree Swing-Open Rear Doors
The 255-degree angle folds the doors completely out of the way, allowing for much easier access to the cargo area.
In-Dash Computer System
This Microsoft Windows-based computer system can do just about everything a regular desktop computer can; it even comes with a keyboard and mouse.
On the inside, the 2010 Ford Transit Connect isn't much to look at. Hard plastics abound, as this interior boasts utility over comfort, but for those needing the extra space, the Transit Connect will suit them well. If rear seats aren't needed, there is over 135 cubic feet of space, and it can carry items up to six feet long and just under five feet wide and tall. And, for the average household family, this cargo hauler doubles as a handy people mover, with seating for up to five and ample head and legroom for front and rear passengers. For additional storage space, there is an overhead compartment above the front passenger area.
Blend a Ford Fusion and an E-Series van and you get something like the Transit Connect. This car/van combination has vertically rectangular headlights, a front grille and fog lights that are similar to those found on the previous-generation Fusion, while its sliding side doors and hinged rear doors are just like those found on a cargo van. Aesthetics aside, the Transit Connect's exterior is functional as well. Small business owners looking for more advertising space will find that the optional metal door panels make a great canvas for company logos.
The 2010 Ford Transit Connect comes standard with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine, four-speed automatic transmission, 15-inch covered steel wheels, rear 180-degree swing-open doors and an AM/FM radio with two speakers. The higher XLT trims come with more features, including side and rear-door privacy glass, a single-disc CD player, audio input jack, cruise control, dual front map lights, AdvanceTrac electronic stability control with RSC (Roll Stability Control) and the Power Equipment Group, which includes remote keyless entry and power windows, door locks and side mirrors.
Some notable options include the Nokia Bluetooth system, 255-degree-opening rear doors, reverse-sensing system, an in-dash Magnetti Marelli Windows CE computer with touch screen, Crew Chief – which allows fleet managers to track their fleet vehicles and staff – and Tool Link, which uses radio frequency identification tags that allow the user to keep track of items missing from the vehicle's cabin - such as power tools that might be left at a work site.
The 2010 Ford Transit Connect is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder Duratec engine that gives it a fair balance of fuel economy and power. Although a four-cylinder engine seems rather small for a vehicle that weighs over 3,000 pounds and is meant to haul large cargo, it's surprisingly spritely and supplies enough torque to get the Transit Connect everywhere it needs to go. And, it delivers decent fuel economy.
2.0-liter in-line four
136 horsepower @ 6300 rpm
128 lb.-ft. of torque @ 4750 rpm
EPA city/highway fuel economy: 22/25

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 50,000overall rating 7 of 10rating details
Pros: "Good MPG with heavy cargo"
Cons: "Traction control cannot be disabled."
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 6
"This first-year vehicle had a few hiccups, but dealer made good on all problems. Glad I bought the extended warranty. I live on a mountain, and the traction control got me stuck more than once in mud or snow trying to go up a 12% grade. It cannot be disabled and automatically applies the brakes when it senses any slip which will stall your running-start climb on a slippery up-grade. Vehicle is a little noisy at Interstate speeds on long trips. However, I find the vehicle has amazing power for a four cylinder, and great gas mileage. I often carry 500 to 900 pounds of cargo plus passengers with gas mileage in the mid-20s at 70 MPH. Rear seat area is tight, but I wanted to carry heavy loads and no mini-van is safe at the loads I carry. Rear doors full-swing is great. Caveat - If this was an AWD vehicle, it would be the perfect truck."

I own this car - My approximate mileage is 24,000overall rating 7 of 10rating details
Pros: "Storage and accessibility"
Cons: "Doesn't handle well in wind or snow & bad mileage"
Likely to recommend this car? (1-10): 7
"If there is wind out - it does not handle well, on snow and ice, it does not handle well, it does not get very good gas mileage and the window levers being in center instead of on doors is very inconvenient and ride in backseat is pretty bad - relatively good in front? The best thing about this is the storage capacity and the accessibility to the contents inside. We do vendor shows and we can get everything we need in there and unload in minutes and with room and height is pretty much like having a truck for most items that you need to move, like big chairs and mattresses actually fit inside. Since I can not afford a normal vehicle and one for transport it is used for both and having no back windows that open up is not convenient for anyone in backseat riding, especially our dogs that want to hang their heads out and can't. If I were using it just for our shows I would keep it in a minute, but since it has to be our regular vehicle as well, I have to go back to another type of vehicle - probably the Escape which is one of the best vehicles I ever owned and got better gas mileage in 6 cyl than this vehicle did for a 4 cyl. I still have my 2003 Ford Escape which is only now after about 10 years of use starting to have more major issues than it had most of the time I have had it. What I should really do is put lots of money into it to fix it back up and then keep both vehicles?"

This monograph is intended for informational purposes only, and should not be interpreted as specific medical advice. You should consult with a qualified health care professional before making decisions about therapies and/or health conditions.
Uses based on scientific evidence
These uses have been tested in humans or animals. Safety and effectiveness have not always been proven. Some of these conditions are potentially serious, and should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional.
Megaloblastic anemia (due to vitamin B12 deficiency)
Low levels of vitamin B12 are a cause of megaloblastic anemia, in which red blood cells are larger than normal. Other possible causes include folate deficiency or various metabolic disorders. Anemia should be diagnosed by a physician to address the underlying cause.
Vitamin B12 deficiency
Studies have shown that a deficiency of vitamin B12 can lead to abnormal mental symptoms. These symptoms may include ataxia (shaky movements and unsteady gait), muscle weakness, spasticity (stiff or rigid muscles), incontinence (lack of bladder and/or bowel control), hypotension (low blood pressure), vision problems, dementia, psychoses (abnormal condition of the mind), and mood disturbances. Giving vitamin B12 by mouth, by injection, or by nasal inhalation is effective for preventing and treating dietary vitamin B12 deficiency.
Alzheimer's disease
Some people diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease have been found to have abnormally low vitamin B12 levels in their blood. The effects of vitamin B12 supplementation on the prevention or progression of Alzheimer's disease remain unclear. More studies are needed before a conclusion can be made.
Angioplasty (opening narrowed/blocked arteries)
Some evidence suggests that giving prescription-strength folic acid and vitamins B12 and B6 for six months following coronary angioplasty reduced the risk of overall adverse cardiac events; however, other studies have found this combination to increase restenosis (reoccurrence of narrowing of a blood vessel). Further research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Breast cancer
Researchers have reported that women with breast cancer tend to have lower vitamin B12 levels in their blood serum than do women without breast cancer. However, one study found that giving a combination of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 failed to decrease the risk of breast cancer. Further research is needed before conclusions can be made.
Canker sores
Vitamin B12 and vitamin B12 injections combined with hydrocortisone were studied to treat recurrent canker sores; although treatment with sublingual vitamin B12 may have some benefit, further research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Cardiovascular disease/hyperhomocysteinemia
High homocysteine levels in the blood have been suggested as being a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, blood clotting abnormalities, atherosclerosis (hardening of arteries), heart attack, and stroke (due to a blood clot). Taking vitamin B12 supplements in combination with other B vitamins (mainly folic acid) has been shown to be effective for lowering homocysteine levels. It is unclear whether lowering homocysteine levels has an effect on cardiovascular disease risk and death. More evidence is needed.
Cervical cancer
Some evidence suggests that vitamin B12 supplementation may have a role in preventing cervical cancer. Further research is warranted in this area.
Claudication (leg pain from clogged arteries)
Human research evaluated the effects of vitamin B12 and results demonstrated that although walking distance was improved, sufficient high quality evidence was lacking. Further research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
A combination of folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 lacked any difference in symptoms of depression in older men as compared to placebo. Well-designed clinical trials are needed to confirm any potential benefit.
Diabetic neuropathy (nerve damage)
Some evidence suggests that supplementation with vitamin B12 may be helpful in people with diabetic neuropathy. More research is needed in this area.
Diagnostic procedure
In order to detect the presence of vitamin B12, lab tests to measure plasma and serum vitamin B12 may be used; however, many investigators believe testing is unreliable. Research has reported that diagnosis of vitamin deficiencies cannot be made by evaluating vitamin B12 levels alone.
Facial spasm
Research has reported that vitamin B12 lacked any benefit over acupuncture in treatment of facial spasm. Further research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
There is some evidence that vitamin B12 injections given twice weekly may improve the general well-being and happiness of people complaining of tiredness or fatigue. Further studies are needed before a conclusion can be made.
Fractures (prevention)
Some evidence suggests that a combination of vitamins including vitamin B12 may help prevent fractures. More research is needed.
High cholesterol
Some evidence suggests that vitamin B12 in combination with fish oil may be better than fish oil alone when used daily to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels. More studies are needed before a conclusion can be made.
Imerslund-Grasbeck disease
Vitamin B12 injections may be effective for treating a hereditary form of vitamin B12 malabsorption (Imerslund-Grasbeck disease). Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Joint pain (elbow)
Preliminary research suggests that vitamin B12 may be effective for elbow pain, but evidence is lacking. Further research is needed.
Mental performance
Increased homocysteine levels have been associated with lower mental testing scores. However, there was a lack of association between low vitamin B12 blood levels and mental decline, Alzheimer's disease, or dementia. More research is needed before a conclusion can be made.
Poisoning (cyanide)
Hydroxocobalamin (a chemical form of vitamin B12) has been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) since 2006 as a potential antidote for treatment in people with suspected smoke inhalation cyanide toxicity, and although research is lacking on the use of hydroxocobalamin in pregnant women, it did gain FDA approval in pregnant women in 2010. In addition, according to the Australian Resuscitation Council, serious adverse effects with hydroxocobalamin were lacking, and many people with fatal cyanide poisoning had survived.
Shaky-leg syndrome
Clinical reports show that shaky-leg syndrome may be due to vitamin B12 deficiency. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Sickle cell disease
Early study suggests that a daily combination including folic acid, vitamin B12, and vitamin B6 may reduce endothelial (cells lining vascular walls) damage in people with sickle cell disease. Further research is needed to confirm these results.
Sleep disorders (circadian rhythm)
Taking vitamin B12 by mouth lacked any effectiveness for treating delayed sleep phase syndrome. Giving vitamin B12 with bright light therapy may be helpful for adolescents with circadian rhythm sleep disorders. More research is needed in this area.
Lung cancer
One study found an increase in lung cancer in people with heart disease in Norway whom were taking vitamin B12 and folic acid. More research is needed to better understand this relationship.
In people with a history of stroke, neither high-dose nor low-dose vitamin B12 combinations containing vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and folic acid seem to affect risk of recurring stroke.

Arugula's a great choice for your next pot, it grows quickly & easily. Plus when it bolts the flowers are SOOO yummy. (ditto Mache)
hummingbird, I hope the rest of your garlic is doing OK! You have all my sympathy - something is eating the borage I planted
I dug up & gave away two of the uber celery plants. If the celeric I got at the tilth sale takes off I'll probably send away at least one of the remaining two as well. They're certainly thriving, but I only use celery a stalk or so at a time for making Stock & the like, so I really don't need much. we got a 4 pack initially in the theory that they wouldn't all make it - hah! They not only did well initially but they overwintered & came back even bigger & stronger this year.

I read the same thing just this morning, but it was by a gardener form somewhere back east in a much warmer climate, so I assume that's the difference. It is indeed my first experience with them, but so far I'd say the things are hardy & easy to grow.

On the bright side, the tomato plants have grown a lot over the past couple of weeks and I have lots of flowers and baby tomatos all over the plants. I was lucky to find starts in such great shape.
Posted 02 June 2008 - 12:23 PM
I don't mind for me, but I do worry about what this could do to my plants!
Posted 02 June 2008 - 04:03 PM
Speaking of plants unhappy in cool weather, my special little "homemade pickles" pickling cuke starts I got at the Tilth sale, which were VERY small, were eaten while I was on vacation. If anyone sees any interesting varieties of pickling cuke starts, let me know.
Posted 03 June 2008 - 12:18 PM
I do mind for me!, but I guess for the tomatoes it just means they stay in their wall-o-waters. They seem to be quite happy in them, and are starting to push out of the top. The peppers are also under cover in the (usually futile) hopes that they will make something of themselves.
Not that weather forecasts are dependable, but the forecast for next weekend has it dropping down to about 38 at night and a high of 51 in the day for next Monday, so some kind of protection for the delicate plants like tomatoes may be in order.
I don't mind for me, but I do worry about what this could do to my plants!
I don't know what the mache looks like when it sprouts, but I don't see anything yet in that area--and I've put seeds in twice!
The favas are only about 8" tall--we are always way behind since we can't plant until mid-April, but we still usually get a good crop, so for those of you in the flower stage--in my book you're way ahead!

Posted 16 June 2008 - 10:09 AM
I wonder if this is the problem with my carrots - we have crappy soil as a starting point (love that seattle glacial till!) so we've got a ton of steer manure over the top, but that might be encouraging the green fluffy bits up top while the roots just sit there...
My radishes were all tops and no radish when I used organic veggie fertilizer on them. So I started just seeding and watering, no fertilizer, and they are great (French breakfast and cherry belle).
We can't eat peas fast enough to keep up with the snap peas around here, and the lettuce is totally out of hand! I ate my first wild strawberry yesterday
Posted 29 June 2008 - 12:04 PM
The lettuce has started to bolt in mine. I'm going to plant the next round someplace shadier... lots of little strawberries are ready to be picked & the birds and I are fighting over the cherries...
Posted 23 July 2008 - 03:22 PM
Posted 23 July 2008 - 06:31 PM
The favas are finally ready to pick--but quite a few plants had to be pulled because they were completely covered with black aphids. We have never had aphids so bad!
Fennel is happy too--braised some last weekend and had it over pasta with some pancetta--yummy!
Posted 24 July 2008 - 09:26 AM
I was reading that you're supposed to rotate your tomatoes to different beds every few years, but there's really no better place inside my yard to grow them except where they are now. Is this really necessary? My only other sunny option is the parking strip.
we've been eating Blackberries by the bucketful! We've gotten a nice handful or two of raspberries as well & expect that by next year we'll be harvesting these in notable quantities as well. The Wineberry has lots of clusters, so I'm hopeful that they'll open soon.
There are 4 count them four little berries on the black currant we just put in this year!
We also harvested our first round of carrots. We decided to grow the little thumbellinas this year because we'd had no luck with regular carrots in the past, but these little round guys are doing great. I'm thinking of tossing in some radish seed, now that I know shallow rooted root veggies will work for me.
What are other folks planning for their fall/winter crops? I'm not a big fan of the brassicas so I'm just not feeling inspried...
Posted 24 July 2008 - 02:56 PM
I plant my tomatoes in a different section of my p-patch every year, so that in general they are not in the same place as they were in the previous 2 years (does that make sense?). I don't know how much it matters, but crop rotation is always suggested for organic gardening, so I do it. Being in a p-patch, it's all sunny, so I'm lucky that it doesn't really matter where in the patch they are.
My carrots are poking along slowly--I always grow regular (purple and orange) and usually they grow really well, but this year they have been slow to germinate and somewhat sporadic in their germination as well. No idea why.
I have a seasonal p-patch, so don't do fall/winter crops.
Posted 24 July 2008 - 04:13 PM
I've never done much fall/winter gardening--what have people had the most success with?
Posted 26 July 2008 - 07:51 PM
Tomatoes loved the heat of July, we have lots and they are starting to get light color. Have picked a few from the early varieties.
Posted 26 July 2008 - 08:44 PM
A. Alliums
Right about now, you could sow Japanese scallions, Ishikura and nebuka types, available from Kitazawa Seeds Oakland CA and elsewhere for overwintering. Elephant garlic are leeks that also overwinter well in some microclimates. Of course, there are the garlics, the hard-necks and the soft-necks. Other alliums like shallots for next year [get ready], multiplier onions, ramps.
B. Greens
B.1.Lettuces Buttercrunch, red lettuces are very cold tolerant,
B.2. mizuna though a brassica may surprise you, great for cutting in salads
B.3. choi sum likewise a great tasty cooking green different from run of the mill brassicas like kale or collards, good for salads in baby stages as well
B.4. around august 22 Spinach cv. Olympia for fall crop; cv. Monnopa for low-oxalic acid
B.5. Overwintering spinach cultivars; see Territorial Seed for availability or Univ. Extension services; John Navazio, spinach breeder etc.
B.6. Sow fenugreek if inclined to experiment with this delicious green avidy consumed by Indians: buy seed from Indian grocery or wherever fenugreek is sold as spice
B.7. Cilantro.
B.8. Beetroot, chard, black spanish radish, Parmex type carrot, small-seeded mache for succession sowing [Verte de Cambrai type], claytonia [miner's lettuce], dill for cutting.
C. Peas: for pods and shoots [especially from snowpeas]
Short and medium duration accordng to your microclimate

2. Alderman [tall]
3. Frosty short, fast maturing

for earwigs (sp?) - get a stick with an overturned little pot stuffed with straw. they climb in there and again pick and toss.
am about to go check whats in the garden now.

I enjoy using fenugreek in cooking occasionally, but have never come across it in plant form. I did find this re it's cultivation though: "Fenugreek likes warmth: its growth is slow and weak in cold temperatures or wet soils." which makes me wonder if it is well adapted for Pacific Northwest winters.
I'll look for some spinach seeds for sure, and put in another round of carrots. I already have a good snow pea that will grow so happily through the winter, people stop in amazement when they pass it by on the street (Ferry Morse: Melting Sugar snow peas)

We put our tomato starts out too early this month and three days of cold and rain killed them all. Well, it also killed the peppers, broccoli and Brussel sprouts. It was very sad. Lesson learned. We've since bought some new tomato and pepper starts from a neighbor and planted some new seed just to say we grew some tomato plants of our own.
Our lettuce got off to a rocky start as it was being mysteriously eaten all the time down to little nubs. When we discovered that the culprit were quail, a bit of netting fixed the problem and we now have some really nice lettuce. Spinach is also doing well, though the chard is moving a bit slowly.
Beans and peas are growing rapidly, though we are having a devil of a time with ground squirrels eating the peas. They dig right under any fencing or netting we try.
The squash plants appear to be doing well, along with the cucumbers. Watermelon and charentais melon are coming along more slowly.
We planted a lot of herbs, too, and have tarragon, oregano and basil. We transplanted some mint, thyme and another oregano from indoors and they are struggling, but surviving. Cilantro, parsley, marjoram and more basil are just coming up. Dill, too, but it was recently victimized by the ground squirrels as well. Or birds. Hard to know sometimes.
The onions and beets are doing very well. I was given some shallot seed, but they haven't come up, yet.
We ate the first strawberry a few days ago -- the first food we have grown ourselves other than herbs.
We planted asparagus late and it is growing, so we hope that there will be a crop next year. Same with the rhubarb.
We also planted several types of flowers to aid in attracting insects and birds as well as some medicinal herbs.
We probably went a bit crazy with our first garden and planted way too much, but it's been a great learning experience so far and will continue to be, I'm sure.

Samsung might be gearing up for the release of the Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean platform for its Galaxy S III smartphone, but the company hasn't provided info on a specific release date as of yet.
However, the owners of this device have already had the chance to grab some leaked Jelly Bean build for their devices, so as to give the platform a try before its official arrival.
A new such leak is now available for download, build I9300XXDLI4, and is said to be the most stable leak until now.
Apparently, all of the issues that have been previously spotted in leaked test builds for Galaxy S III have been fixed in this leak, which suggests that it might be one of the near-final or final Android 4.1.1 ROMs that Samsung is working on.
A link to the build, which is dated September 7th, can be found over at SamMobile. If you are planning on installing it, keep in mind that it is not an official release.

|Somerset, Bronte Jean
|University of Technology, Sydney. Faculty of Education.
|Modern technologies have changed the way doctoral candidates create theses and present knowledge. The traditional thesis has evolved to include a range of dynamic components. Inroads made by technologies and multiple forms of media provide for "a dazzling array of research and scholarly possibilities for emerging Ph.D.s" (Lang, 2002, p.681). This activity forms a new research paradigm of research literacies and identities in knowledge production and a unique research epistemology. In order to create knowledge about such 'thoroughly modern theses', this qualitative study explores the experiences of fourteen candidates from Australian universities. Literature scarcely publishes the voice of those who take unconventional approaches to creating their theses, so this explorative study uses phenomenology to seek enlightenment and understanding by asking in what ways candidates' experiences reveal the phenomenon of media theses. 'Media theses' is the term used in this thesis to describe those which include narratives, poetry, multimedia, artworks, etc. Candidates' individual accounts are represented in case studies using narrative, verse, prose, participants' voices, and reflection and insight. The exploration found that in most cases, candidates' boundary pushing endeavours led to successful outcomes. Some considered their enterprising, courageous and inspirational journeys were 'life-affirming'. Other candidates encountered challenges which reflected their choice of thesis construction. Primarily, these related to unclear guidelines for using media in theses, finding appropriate supervisors and examiners, justifying the inclusion of media elements to research boards, being misunderstood and accessing technological training and expertise. These circumstances sometimes led to candidates' feelings of insecurity and isolation, and hindered the development of their theses. To learn what was occurring in this social research activity from a wider perspective, the study also asks how the experiences of academic staff enhance understanding of the phenomenon of media theses. This phase of the research is an interpretive exploration of ten academic staff members' experiences, opinions and attitudes. They discussed the qualities of media theses and the new languages they brought to research. They shed light on issues relating to supervision and examination and technological skills development. They offered advice to candidates and discussed their ideas for the future of research. There was often consistency of attitude and consensus that the way of the future involved media theses. However, inconsistencies of thought and an underestimation of what was possible and of what was occurring could prove to be detrimental for media thesis candidates and the creation of dissertations. This investigation found that media theses offer more potential for authentic presentation of thesis content. They create the need for amended thesis submission policies and guidelines. They alter candidature and supervisory practices and need specific examination criteria. They also transcend conventional modes of knowledge categories. Based on its evidence, the study suggests advice for candidates and makes recommendations for supervisors, examiners and universities. This dissertation leads to understanding about candidates' experiences with their media theses and how academic staff and universities contribute to their support. This exploration should benefit doctoral candidates and supervisors who are involved in creating a media thesis. It should contribute to innovative research practices by providing research communities insight into the phenomenon of theses with multiple forms of media and their impact on knowledge creation.

Alien species cause major environmental and economic problems worldwide and India is not an exception. Many native species are threatened by competition and predation from the invaders, resulting in the ecosystem modification and loss of biodiversity. Quantification of the ecosystem damage and loss to biodiversity due to alien species invasion is complex due to the interaction of many biotic and abiotic factors. Because of human population growth and human activities related to trade and tourism, the present time is witnessing increased risks associated with aIien species introductions. This damage is further aggravated by climate change, pollution, habitat loss and human-induced disturbance.

Stockholm is on the 3D map
Tuesday, May 25, 2010
[Cross-posted from the SketchUp blog]
Stockholm, which is said to be referred to as the "Venice of the North" may not receive a lot of sunlight throughout the year, but today it's in the limelight as the newest city to be included in the 3D Buildings layer of Google Earth. Watch the video below to see Stockholm, Sweden in 3D:
Stockholm is a unique geographic location - filled with historic bridges, buildings, and parks. The rich architectural history make it a fulfilling destination for the virtual tourist.
The city's oldest section is "Gamla Stan"(The Old City). It's located on the original small islands of the city's earliest settlements and features cobbled streets and medieval alleyways.
And if time is short, make sure you fly over to The Royal Palace, the official residence ofHis Majesty The King. Explore Stockholm in 3D with Google Earth and now with Earth view in Google Maps.

CAIRO (USA TODAY) - Egyptian troops opened fire Friday on mainly Islamist demonstrators outside the Republican Guard military barracks where ousted President Mohammed Morsi is being held, killing as many as six people.
The bloodiest confrontation came as troops opened fire on protesters outside the Republican Guards military barracks where the ousted president is being held.
There was also some confusion regarding the source of the gunfire. Reporters for various news organizations reported seeing Egyptian troops open fire on the crowd. Reuters quoted a military spokesman as saying the army fired only blank rounds and tear gas at the protesters, not live ammunition.
BBC reporter Jeremy Boven, who was hit above the ear by shotgun pellets, said he saw the soldiers fire on the protesters.
Gehad El-Haddad, the spokesman for Muslim Brotherhood, said it was military police nearby -- not the Republican Guards -- who opened fire. He said on a Twitter post that he did not know if the shots were fired "under panic or by order."
The shootings came as tens of thousands of demonstrators heeded a call by Islamists for a "Friday of Rejection" to protest the removal of Egypt's first democratically elected president two days ago. Protesters rallied at the military barracks, and later at Cairo University and in front of state TV.
It also coincided with the formal dissolution of parliament by interim president Adly Mansour, who was installed as leader by the military after Morsi's dismissal.
The gunfire erupted after protesters marched from a Cairo mosque following Friday prayers toward the barracks, chanting, "After sunset, President Morsi will be back in the palace."
Troops standing guard tore down the sign and warned the crowd to stay back. A protester then hung a second sign and the soldiers opened fire on the crowd, according to an Associated Press photographer at the scene.
Several protesters fell bloodied to the ground. At least person one had a gaping, bleeding exit wound in the back of his head.
Fellow protesters carried the body into a nearby building and covered his head with a blanket, declaring him dead, according to AP Television News footage.
Protesters pelted the line of troops with stones, and the soldiers responded with volleys of tear gas, but the clashes appeared for the moment to ease with midafternoon prayers.
Here's how the BBC reported the incident:
About 2,000 people had marched on the officers's club after passionate Friday Prayers at the nearby Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque. As the crowd grew, got angrier and pushed forward, the troops opened fire -- first into the air, then at the crowd, our correspondent reports. He saw one man fall to the ground with blood on his clothes. More people are arriving at the scene and anger there is growing, he adds.
The military, which ousted Morsi, had warned protesters against violent demonstrations.
The National Alliance in Support of Electoral Legitimacy said it "feels rising public anger and the imminent danger threatening the nation as a result of the unprecedented military coup d'état against legitimacy derived from the will of the people and the January 25 Revolution."
Supporters of ousted Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi rush a wounded man away from the scene of a shooting outside the Egyptian army's Republican Guard headquarters on July 5 in Cairo. At least three Morsi supporters were killed.
In a statement, the alliance said "it affirmed its full and categorical rejection of the military coup - against the President, the Constitution and democratic legitimacy - and all consequent actions and effects."
Mohammed Badie, the supreme leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, spoke at a rally near the Rabaa al-Adawiya Mosque in Cairo, and denied reports that he had been arrested. He also said demonstrators were determined to oppose the military's actions.
"We shall stay in the squares until we bring President Morsi back to power," he told a cheering crowd.
In Nasr City in Cairo, Essam ElErian, deputy chairman of the Freedom and Justice Party, which Morsi once headed, told a rally that "all of Egypt says 'no' to military coup," Al Jazeera reported.
"The honor of the military forces has been violated by the coup," he said. "What kind of reconciliation can take place after people's voice has been neglected? We will not accept such coup on elected government. We will not cooperate with such rule."
The military leaders who brought down Morsi on Wednesday also ordered the nation's parliament to be dissolved, suspended the constitution and installed Mansour, head of the country's High Constitutional Court, as the interim president until new elections are called.
As the country braced for more protests, the military warned protesters against any violence. The first major attack by militants, in Sinai, raised fears that the Islamists' extreme fringe will turn to violent retaliation for the toppling of Morsi.
Early Friday, masked gunmen used rockets, rocket-propelled grenades and anti-aircraft guns to attack the airport in el-Arish, the provincial capital of northern Sinai, as well as a security forces camp in Rafah on the border with Gaza and five other military and police posts. At least one soldier was killed in nearly four hours of clashes that ensued.
The ongoing political turmoil has sparked pockets of violence nationwide over the past week, killing around 50. Clashes erupted again on Thursday between Morsi's opponents and supporters, this time in Morsi's hometown, Zagazig, which is located in the Nile Delta region. Dozens were injured.
Reports also said gunmen on Thursday attacked several police and military outposts in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula - a massive chunk of land that borders Israel and the Gaza Strip. Egypt's army announced a state of emergency in the area Friday, state TV reported.
Some fear violence may escalate in the coming days, and there are threats of Islamist retaliation. But organizers of Friday's pro-Morsi rallies are calling for peaceful mobilization.
Islamists are furious over what they view as a blatant attempt to thwart democracy. They say Morsi has constitutional legitimacy because he was democratically elected in what was considered the country's first free and fair election.
At the Cairo mosque where Morsi supporters have gathered for nearly a week, the mood was subdued on Thursday. Protesters said they won't budge until Morsi comes back. Many are angry at what they view as international support for a military coup, particularly from the United States.
"America supported the coup," said Hani Abu Nasser, an Arabic teacher at an institute associated with Al-Azhar, a leading academic and Islamic establishment. He said he thinks the U.S. is supporting Hosni Mubarak's "discriminatory" regime to try to keep political Islam from succeeding.
Muslim Brotherhood figures have been rounded up and arrested over the past few days and some are barred from leaving the country, further infuriating Islamists.
There is also concern among human rights groups over the effects of such rights abuses.
"A return to Mubarak-era practices of mass arrests and politically motivated imprisonment of Muslim Brotherhood leaders will have the worst possible effect on Egypt's political future," Human Rights Watch said.
"Egypt's new interim president and the military leadership should immediately end reprisals against Muslim Brotherhood political leaders, including arrests or travel bans, and should allow the Freedom and Justice Party to fully exercise freedom of association, the rights group said.
Several Islamist television channels have also been cut, violating expression freedoms.
Maha Maamoun, a human rights activist, said there is concern that rights violations could escalate in the weeks ahead as the army implements steps in the transitional period.
In a separate move Friday, the African Union suspended Egypt's membership on the grounds of an unconstitutional change in government.
While Egypt was ruled by a group of generals after Hosni Mubarak was ousted in 2011, the nation witnessed a spike in the number of military trials for civilians. In military courts, judges are military officers and basic due process rights are not respected, rights groups say. Soldiers also killed protesters, repeatedly broke up demonstrations using force and committed other human rights crimes.
"We are worried about the military," Maamoun said, noting that even under Morsi military trials for civilians have continued.
Still, many have cheered the military's role in facilitating Morsi's ouster, celebrating again Thursday night in Tahrir Square. Morsi's opponents don't view his overthrow as a coup, but rather a second - or continuing - revolution in which the army acted on the will of the people.
"It's going to be a transitional phase and (the military) will not rule," said Amir Dous, who protested against Morsi in the square this week. "They are here to make it easier for the transition to a democratic country."
"That's what I believe," he said.

If there is a line...it is a great sign of fabulous food. If you are on vacation, what does an extra 5 to 10 minutes really matter? Now, if it is a lunch hour, the parking is hectic and the food might take a minute or two, but you will leave very happy! My favorites are the Cosmo with the Chicken Salad, Pasta, & Fruit, the Shirley, or the Maiben. I love the bite size portion of the Mississippi Mud! Can't have a Mary Ann's Deli experience without a Mud Bite!

Top of the World is an excellent place for a romantic dinner. It's located in the Stratosphere and the restaurant actually rotates. The waitstaff is very cordial and knowledgeable when it comes to wine. The food preparation can take a while depending on what your order. Like most nice restaurants, they do offer bread before the appetizers and entrees. Top of the World also has various specials for couples which include 4 course meals with wine. They also have an on-site photographer to take pictures of happy couples but the photo packages were pricey. I bought 3 pictures in that came in black photo stands for $100! I haven't had anything from the dessert menu, so I can't comment about the quality of desserts. I know the filet mignon I had was the most tender filet I've had in a long time. It was cooked to perfection. If you do order a side dish, don't buy one for each person because one side dish is big enough to feed two people.
