Game #131: Jays at A's pregame
Toronto (65-65) at Oakland (65-67)
at 10:05 p.m. ET at McAfee Coliseum
Today's lineups:
Matt Stairs, LF
Lyle Overbay, 1B
Alex Rios, RF
Vernon Wells, CF
Frank Thomas, DH
Troy Glaus, 3B
Aaron Hill, 2B
Gregg Zaun, C
Ray Olmedo, SS
PITCHING: RHP A.J. Burnett (7-7, 3.85 ERA)
Shannon Stewart, LF
Jeff DaVannon, CF
Nick Swisher, RF
Jack Cust, DH
Mark Ellis, 2B
Dan Johnson, 1B
Marco Scutaro, SS
Jack Hannahan , 3B
Kurt Suzuki, C
PITCHING: RHP Esteban Loaiza (1-0, 1.17 ERA)
NOTES: GM J.P. Ricciardi said on Monday that LHP Gustavo Chacin is set to undergo exploratory surgery on Wednesday. The operation will be performed by Dr. David Altchek, who is an orthopedic surgeon for the Mets. The Jays had Dr. Steve Mirabello look at Chacin's shoulder and he deemed that surgery wasn't required — only rehab. Chacin wanted a second opinion, and his agency reccomended Altchek, who reported that he believes something is wrong with the shoulder capshule in Chacin's arm, according to Ricciardi. There's no timetable for Chacin's return, considering it's unclear what type of surgery is going to take place. The Jays will know more after Wednesday. … Ricciardi added that he will explore the pitching market this offseason, but mainly as a way to potentially fill in the back end of the rotation. With Roy Halladay, Burnett, Shaun Marcum and Dustin McGowan, Ricciardi doesn't feel he needs a front-line starter — and the free-agent pitching crop is thin again this winter. … Jays manager John Gibbons said he met with McGowan to tell the pitcher he needs to pay more attention to baserunners, especially ones on second base. On Sunday, the Angels' Gary Matthews Jr. swiped third base and scored on a throwing error by Zaun. McGowan uses a leg kick while in the stretch that baserunners have used to their advantage this season. … This month, Toronto has faced former Jays Roger Clemens, Steve Trachsel, Kelvim Escobar and Loaiza. Entering Monday, those four had combined to go 5-0 with a 1.78 ERA, 25 strikeouts and four walks against Toronto this month. After facing Loaiza on Monday, Toronto gets a crack at former Jay Chad Gaudin.
entering Monday
1. Seattle 73-55 (–)
2. New York 72-58 (2)
3. Detroit 70-60 (4)
4. Minnesota 67-63 (7)
5. Toronto 65-65 (9)
REALITY CHECK…Since 1995, the runner-up in the AL Wild Card race has finished with an average of 89 victories. The Blue Jays would need to go 25-7 over their final 32 games to reach 90 wins.

I would never abandon the Jays but my mum always said if you don't have anything nice to say , then better to not say anything. If we don't support them , they will travel along the same path as the Expos . There will be no more Jays . I still go to their games and will continue to do so .
As for pitching, looks like Mussina might be available . JP can add him then let him go like all the others ( Ohka, Thompson and Zambrano) after all it's only money ( obviously not his )and JP must like to gamble
WELL WELL WELL we have a lot of speed on the front end lol.
My mum told me not to put beans in my ears but I did.
Vinnie Chulk , Jays ex-reliever is having a blood clot removed from his pitching arm . Let's hope he he comes through it cleanly
I thought it was Jack and the Beanstalk not garry …..now my childhood has been shattered…..lol
I dont belive for a minnute that any one of us will desert the team,we have a right to be upset with them the way they are playing/not playing.
every time they have a shot at the wild card they fall apart.
These players are not garbage but they are playing like thay are the question is why.
I'm afraid I had to eat them after thats how I discoverd wax beans lol.
Who knows why the Yanks are getting trashed by Detroit tonight . It happens . I don't think they Jays ever found their grove after all the injuries they suffered. I still read all the blogs when I am online just rarely reply
Good for Olmedo smart base running this kid has some speed,Zaun bunts lol.
Mussina is in trouble in the Bronx,if you think were hard on players in trouble go read the Yankees blog ouch.
Houston cleans house now for the Jays.
Another great start from Grandpa Mussina. Done like dinner.
Great comments from JP-way to motivate the troops, JP.
So you're going to explore the pitching available for the back end of the rotation-HUH?
What the **** is wrong with Litsch and or Chacin? Or do you want to sign a bunch of lossers like Okha-like you did this year
Put some time in exploring a new manager that can motivate these hitters instead. You have no problem in pitching.
And get a catcher in there that doesn't have Grandma's arm and can hit .250. Duh!
And Gibby
Maybe, just maybe-you should spend time with Zaun and suggest if he doesn't start to get runners out-you'll replace him with Thigpen, who misteriously has never had a problem throwing out runners with McGowan pitching.
I wonder why that is. DUH!!!!!!!
Another great start from Zaun.
0 for 3 and messes up another throw to 2nd base.
Sort of standard for the territory-so where is Thigpen?
gsumner not like you????
But i agree with you 100%.
Again 2 on no outs no runs ****.
A blind man could see Jansen never had it tonight why leave him in, Of course if you take him out we might win, The game is off in my house I don't need to watch that ****.
I turned the tube back on after I had my little cry lucky for me 6 to 2 now game over with Wolf in for sure.
Not a good win for the jays however a win is a win.
i would like to see that burnett got the win but now a days if you are a bluejay starter you will harldy get a win.
I agree with you guys wat's wrong with litsch. I think litsch can pull off the whole season. If he does bad then i believe chacin will be back until then.
I think that JP is now goign to trade towers or dump him or something. Notice that he said we needed a starter so he isn't relying on towers anymore. (since he ain't relying on litsch too) I hate to see towers go he is a good guy but no help to us.
Mcdonald is gonna be more costly this season but i think he will come to the jays cause the jays gave his career new life.
JP has multiple alternatives for the 5th starter position. He has Litsch, Chacin, Taubenheim-who looks like hes finally getting it, Josh Banks and a dark horse-David Purcey.
If none of those pan out, he can use Janssen. With League, Ryan and Romero all coming back, and with the way Wolfe has pitched, the bullpen's going to be a bit crowded and Janssen could be moved to a starters role without any negative impact in the pen.
To go out and sign some has been like Okha, Zambrano or Thompson is a waste of money and will likely get us a 5th starter who's poorer than our own alternatives.
If JP is so anxious to spend money-spend it on a hitter or better yet, a good manager.
yes well gsumner i was trying to prove the same thing that we don't need a starter right now. YOu put it in better words taht's good.
Any good hitters you know that are on the trading block or are free agents cause i got no clue on any of them?
if someone knows a few then just list the names if possible even if they are outfeild or a position we don't need.
qsumner completely agree with you on spending that money on a good manager. I feel that someone with successful experience in the playoffs is neccassary. I'm curious would you go after Joe Torre if you could ?
By the way (for those of you suggesting to not attend games) just bought tickets for sept. 30 on my birthday, they'll definitaly be playing for nothing by then so i'll continue to to go games whenever i can. I agree with Indigo if ppl stop going they might consider moving the franchise sooner or later (though it appears to be safe for a while =). The only place where the whole "stop going" thing applies in my opinion is with the leafs.
Way to go JP another has been pitcher that we don't need "JOE WHO".
JP should trade for Edgar Renteria for SS — Send Mcdonald back to utility role, and get rid of Zaun and sign someone like Michael Barrett as catcher.
The only remotly good backend pitchers i can think of would Joel Pinerio, Kyle Lohse or even Carlos Silva.
JP might just be looking at depth for his rotation. Tho it does look like the rotation will be fine, as long as there are no injuries. I said earlier, they should explore trading Glaus, or Thomas for a left handed hitting DH/3B. One that hits for a good average, like Overbay should.
If we got Renteria from the Braves, JP hate comments could no longer be allowed. He is the debatably the best shortstop in baseball right now. I have always been a fan of Barrett, but I'm not sure the free agent market is the place for us to get catchers right now. Not only do we have two major league ready catchers in Thigpen and Diaz, but one of our first round picks this year was a catcher (Arencibia)
I'd be happy to see the jays acquire Edgar, but what do you think they'd have to give up Dave? Don`t know about you but I would personally prefer to try out Casey Jannson as a back-end starter. If B.J. comes back and pitches the way he can by late may, early june, then they can have Jeremey in Casey`s current role.
To get Edgar id imagine the Jays would have to fufill something similar to the demand the braves asked the whitesox for in Jon Garland. The Braves also need relief help since they just offed their closer Wickman —
So id say give them Accardo, since the jays are out of the race, and atlanta is totally going broke trying to win this year (the tex deal) this year and will have BJ next year, thus keeping Jansen as the eigth inning guy, especially with League, Frasor and Wolf as awesome alternatives in the Pen next year.
The Braves did trade their slugging Andy Laroche (38Hr) for a 8th inning guy Gonzales, so their is a precedent.
I just think that their is not going to be a good alternative SS for next year on the market, and the Braves want to win now — With Edgar on the 15day DL and their massive love for Yunnel Escobar, the Braves would love to uload the next two years 08/09 on another team, especially if they could get an effective late inning pitcher and the salary relief since they'll be hunting for a CF next year.

The Locked Gate: Standing Up for My Brother, Troy Davis, on Death Row
Editor's Note: After more than twenty years trying to prove his innocence, Troy Davis was put to death by the state of Georgia on September 21, 2011. On the night of the execution, crowds of Davis' supporters gathered outside the prison.
His sister, Martina Davis-Correia, was also there, fighting, as she had been for over twenty years, for her brother's life. She was also fighting for her own: she had been diagnosed with breast cancer. On December 1, 2011, just a few months after her brother's death, Martina passed away at the age of 44.
The summer before their deaths, Martina Davis-Correia wrote about what it was like to stand beside her brother all those years.
Read more: Troy Davis' Last Request
Mama, my younger sister Kim, and I were visiting my brother, Troy, like we did most weekends. Inside the prison in Jackson, Ga., death-row inmates and family members sat in a narrow corridor, a locked door with yellow bars and a guard separating us from the non-death-row inmates and their visitors.
After Troy and I went over the latest developments in his case, we started talking about religion. Troy has always prided himself on knowing as much as he could about all religions. He's studied the Bible, the Torah, the Quran, and the Book of Mormon. Troy has friends from all different religions and ethnic groups, and he wants to understand all their faiths.
We got into a heated debate about Bible verses. But when Troy began reciting the Bible to me, throwing in some passages from the Torah and Quran for good measure, I got mad. "I don't have to listen to this!"
I got up, left the prison, and went and sat in the car, pouting, waiting on Mama and Kim.
The argument wasn't really about a Bible verse. Most likely I wasn't even right about the verse, and I knew it. My daily frustration about Troy's case and the legal system just came to a boiling point that day. I couldn't get Troy's lawyers to do what they were supposed to do. They knew Troy was innocent, but they didn't have the resources to properly defend him.
Every weekend, I sat in there with Troy, while he dissected police statements and pointed out enormous contradictions and inconsistencies in witness testimony. He had nothing to do all week long aside from examining his case file. And he had nowhere else to pour out his frustrations, except when he was with us. I was trying my best to get him out of there, trying my best to get someone to listen. And then, Saturday after Saturday, I had to relive the case with him. My irritation mounted each time Troy found and parsed a new detail about his case … how could he have been convicted on such flimsy evidence?
About an hour later, Mama came out to the car. Every few minutes, Troy had gotten up and gone to the gate looking for me, she said. He thought maybe I had gone to the restroom and was coming back.
An hour after we got home, the phone rang. It was Troy. He wanted to apologize to me.
That's when I realized: I could get up and leave when I felt like it, and Troy couldn't. He was powerless to leave, powerless to go after me. And, frustrated as I was with his case, Troy's sense of impotency ran far deeper. He had no control over his own life or over Georgia's justice system, which is trying to kill him. And then, on top of it all, his older sister walked out on him, and he couldn't do anything other than twist his neck as far as he could to look out the locked yellow gate to see if she was coming back.
With everything else stacked against him, he couldn't stand the thought that his big sister was angry with him. No wonder Troy called me right away to tell me he was sorry, even though I had been the one who was wrong.
I hung up the phone and bawled.
I will never walk out on Troy again. Not unless he is free to come after me.

Larger icons represent metro areas with higher percentages of commuters who walk to work. Statistics for walking to work are low because the Census Bureau's survey records a single transportation type for a person's longest distance traveled. Workers walking to subways, for example, only count as public transportation commuters.

We spent a serious amount of time over the last couple of months to do an inventory and the necessary steps to make Help & Manual ready for ultra-high resolution ("4K") monitors. Some of the changes will be implemented in the upcoming 6.5.2 release this November, some other features had to be postponed for a later update, because they are still not working as expected.
It was an interesting journey to explore the detailed requirements of 4K and I have put my humble knowledge about this topic into a Delphi programming tutorial, which I put up here for download.
Download link:
http://download.ec-software.com/delphi- ... ide-4k.zip (~ 10mb)
The tutorial is about 40 pages long and covers the basic topics (explanation of scaling and DPI values) to the more sophisticated implementation of runtime DPI-switching on Windows 8.1 with multiple monitors. A DPI-aware test application (compiled and with source) is included. The test application is fully per-monitor DPI-aware on Windows 8.1.

Thinking about using an online Christian curriculum program to home educate your child? For many parents, this educational option provides a unique opportunity for their child to receive an affordable, quality Christian education. However, whether parents are supplementing a few courses along with other homeschool curriculum or enrolling their child in an entire distance learning program, there are some questions to answer before choosing an online Christian curriculum program. To determine which is best for your child, consider these five important questions:
Is the online curriculum truly Bible-based?
Many distance learning programs offer online curriculum that does not present Christianity favorably or even relate their subject matter to God. Since having a child taught through the lens of a Christian worldview is an important consideration, Christian parents would be wise to research online homeschool curriculum reviews before purchasing curriculum. Opinions and advice from other homeschooling families will provide helpful information in choosing the right online distance learning program for your family.
What curriculum formats are offered in the online program?
There are several curriculum options offered in online homeschool programs, such as:
• Web-based – Where all materials are available online and completed over the Internet.
• Computer-based – Where curriculum includes ebooks, satellite broadcasts, or CD-ROM materials sent to your home.
• Traditional – Where some materials are online, but most of the classes use conventional, print-based workbooks.
Is the online curriculum student led or teacher directed?
• Student-led curriculum allows a child to work independently at his own pace. The child usually interacts only with the material and receives computerized feedback that corrects and grades his work.
• Teacher-directed curriculum provides a child with access to a teacher and the material. Personal, one-on-one interaction is available with tutors. In addition, some online school programs provide forums or discussion boards to interact with other students. The child normally works independently and has flexible deadlines for completing assigned lessons.
What lesson assignments and evaluations are offered?
When determining what online Christian curriculum to use, parents should think about what types of assignments they want their child to do for each subject. Does the curriculum offer fun-filled projects, multimedia tutorials, and other online learning tools? Plus, what criteria is used to determine if a child has learned the subject matter correctly. Will tests and quizzes be mostly multiple choice and true or false questions, or does the online curriculum also offer short answer and essay writing tests?
Is the online Christian curriculum program accredited?
Although accreditation usually doesn't play a major role in elementary level grades, some families do want their older children to receive a degree from an accredited institution. While the curriculum itself is not accredited, an accredited distance learning institution is able to provide an official high school diploma that does offer more recognition of a child's academic achievement to colleges. However, many of today's universities are much more favorable to home education and accept a child for entrance based on a homeschool transcript and ACT or SAT test scores.
Finding an online Christian curriculum program doesn't have to be difficult. Simply use these five questions to help narrow down your options, and you'll be sure to find the online distance learning program that fits your family's home education needs perfectly.

Mazda will never forget that the Miata roadster first debuted at the Chicago auto show in 1989. Since then it has used Chicago to roll out various enhancements to the roadster.
This year, Mazda will use the show to debut the new MX-5 Special Edition. You get your choice of red or white exterior color, along with a contrasting black folding hardtop.
Other changes include 17-inch wheels and some unique trim for the interior. It's a 2012 model, so it will be in showrooms soon.

Once again we are at that point where wild rumor has begun to circulate the Interwebs, pointing to potential - but totally unconfirmed - developments within the Marvel Movieverse. Today the rumor looks ahead beyond the end of Marvel Phase 3 (which is only now taking semi-solid shape) to what happens when Avengers 3 (and likely a big showdown with Thanos) is all over - along with the contractual obligations for most of major players currently in Marvel's Avengers lineup.
UTF is the current site claiming to have "inside sources" feeding them hot rumors. Right now, with so many sites claiming to have THE inside sources on everything from the future of the DC Movieverse to the future of the Marvel Movieverse, it's harder than ever to tell the could-be-facts from the total fiction - but this New Avengers angle has a certain amount of logic behind it, which is the only reason we're discussing it.
We already saw the sort of turmoil Marvel faces when it comes to the matter of contract (re-)negotiations; in 2013, franchise star Robert Downey Jr. had a somewhat ugly battle with the studio - not just over his own contract, but those of his allegedly underpaid co-stars - before the matter was finally settled with the star landing a suitable deal to appear in Avengers: Age of Ultron and The Avengers 3.
It's almost been a footnote that Downey has NOT re-signed for Iron Man 4; that supporting actors like Gwyneth Paltrow are ambivalent about a long future with the franchise; or that other leading actors from the Avengers ensemble are probably less-than-enthused about their pay checks. However, taken together, all those small hints point to a future where actors jump ship (or become too costly), even as the Marvel Movieverse continues to expand beyond the initial three phases.
We here at Screen Rant have always been of the opinion that the current iteration of The Avengers has a limited shelf-life; it's just the nature of the movie biz, really. We already listed the new Avengers we want to see onscreen, and looking at the mythos of the source material and potential direction of the films, New Avengers may be just what the doctor ordered by the time the "Twenteens" are coming to a close.
In the comic books, the "New Avengers" are a team that has had three versions - but sticking with the first version from the mid-2000s; the team was made up of heroes who didn't want to adhere to the Superhero Registration Act, which reframed superhero vigilantes as government-sanctioned agents, whose secret identities and personal info were kept on file. At the center of the new team were Captain America and Iron Man, who would become enemies in the Marvel "Civil War" when Tony Stark decided that superhero registration was a necessary evil - an idea that a guy like Cap (who fought that sort of fascism in WWII) vehemently disagreed with.
In the time since its inception, The New Avengers has hosted the likes of Black Panther, Luke Cage, Iron Fist, Jessica Jones, Captain America II (Bucky), and Doctor Strange - all of whom will be introduced either in Marvel movies or Marvel Netflix series within the foreseeable future. (Although, Cage, Fist, Jones and Daredevil will likely be in a Defenders team-up flick for Netflix, so that would be sort of redundant, no?)
Other New Avengers characters like Ms. Marvel, Mockingbird, Spider-Woman or Ronin (Hawkeye's alter-ego) could (or may) easily be introduced at some point in the future of Phases 2 & 3. Heck, by the time Phase 4 rolls around, we could even see the day where other studios lend characters like Wolverine or Spider-Man to the roster (as they were both New Avengers in the comics).
...Or not.
The Marvel Movie Reality
After sitting down with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige and talking all things currently Marvel, I can say this much: At the moment, dollars dictate. Pure and simple.
Yes, there will have to be new blood steadily pumped in (Marvel is currently going with a "one sequel, one new property" per year model) - but if the box office returns and fan love are behind a particular property, and the actor(s) is willing and able, a deal will get struck and that particular actor/character will continue on into further installments. For the franchises and characters that can't drum up the profits to justify their own solo existence... well, that's what team-up films are for, right? (Hulk, looking at you, buddy...)
At this time, any reports about New Avengers - from "sources" or otherwise - are simply premature. There is no concrete story planned that far in advanced demanding that this or that character end up on a New Avengers squad by 20-twenty-something. What there is, is a loose vision of overarching story ideas; some new risks like Guardians and Ant-Man bought and paid for by the mega-success of Avengers; a lot of on-the-fly trial and error decision-making; and some very frustrated directors left in the wake of the Marvel Movieverse's at times stumbling expansion.
That's all to say: This is a pretty fluid situation from a business point - and whatever the best laid plans MAY be, they could be drastically altered by whatever developments occur between now and the distant future of Marvel Phase 4.
Would we like to see some New Avengers by Phase 4? Who would we want on the team? What would the storyline be? Well, that's a great discussion for another article (which is probably coming soon).

Nutrition Facts
Ingredients and Preparation
- Heat 2 teaspoons olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and cook another 4-5 minutes, until chicken is cooked through. Transfer mixture to a plate and cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Heat stock in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer and reduce heat to low.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil to the large pot. Add onion and sauté, stirring frequently, for about 4-5 minutes. Add the rice and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the wine and simmer, stirring continuously, until all the wine is absorbed. Add ½ cup of warmed stock, and cook, stirring frequently, until stock is absorbed.
- Continue cooking the rice, adding ½ cup stock at a time and stirring frequently, allowing almost all of the stock to evaporate before adding the next ½ cup. Continue cooking until all the stock is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20-25 minutes. (If necessary, add more stock.)
- Stir in the chicken, mushrooms, and 2 tablespoons of the Parmesan cheese. Season with freshly ground pepper to taste. Top with remaining tablespoon Parmesan cheese and the fresh, chopped parsley.

Answering E-mails
With no game on Monday, time to peek in the e-mail bin:
From Scott: Somewhere between 1966 and 1968, the Phillies had a Tony Taylor bat day at Connie Mack Stadium. I haven't been able to pinpoint the exact date. Can anyone at the Phillies shed some light on the date and opponent?
"Off the top of my head, I don't remember a Tony Taylor bat day. It might be difficult to find out but will do some digging. Perhaps someone reading this will have an idea."
From Larry: Attended the Alumni Luncheon. What a great, great program. I wish to inquire as to being able to obtain a video copy of the program. Would love to enjoy it again.
"Our video guru, Video Dan Stephenson, will be working on producing a half-hour program for Comcast's On Demand programming. Will keep you informed."
From Joe: Why is Jim Konstanty not on the Phillies Wall of Fame? He was an NL MVP in a seriously competitive time.
"We haven't forgotten about him but there is a process for election into the Wall of Fame. Fans vote online during spring training and the top five consensus selections are then presented to a Special Wall of Fame Committee that consists of writers, broadcasters and club executives. That committee chooses the winner. I can tell you Jim has been in the top 5 for five straight years but has fallen short each year. I'm sure he'll be in the running in 2013."
From Howard: Kudos to the organization. It was nice to see the Alumni singing take me out to the ballgame, singing happy birthday to people etc. I hope you continue with that realm next year. It added an additional element of fun. Will you consider having another home run hitting contest like past years?
"We had planned the same thing a year ago but got rained out. You would be interested in knowing the Alumni enjoyed it as much as the fans. I'm sure will do the same next year. As far as the Alumni Batting Challenge, I believe that is history for now. It was getting more difficult to have Alumni participate. Most aren't in shape to take that many swings. It looks easy but in reality, it is very difficult and tiring. Another point, we had to start the challenge around 12:30 p.m. and there are very few fans in the park at that time. Doing it after the game isn't practical."
Down On The Farm
Lehigh Valley dropped 5-4, 13-inning decision to 1st-place SWB.

Larry, I'm not sure of your email address, so please consider this an email for your next Answering Emails column–or feel free just to answer it here!
1) What sort of On Demand features do the Phillies have on Comcast? I'm a FiOS subscriber–and watch every game there unless I'm at the park–and as far as I can tell, there are no On Demand programs offered there. Any chance they can also be offered on FiOS? Or are they on Phillies.com somewhere?
2) What are the chances the Phillies might make available On Demand some of the old highlights films, especially for the big years of the 1970s? Or maybe they can be supplied to Comcast SportsNet to be shown as "Philly Sports Classics." As a kid in Reading, I remember then-Reading Phillies GM Mark Helminiak coming into my scout meeting each winter with the 16mm Phillies highlight film in tow, which he showed to our troop. I'd love to watch some of those highlights again. (Better yet to have them made available on DVD or for download!) The 1980 highlight film was released on VHS by the Phillies in the 1990s, and the 1988 to present highlights films (with a couple exceptions) were issued by the Phils on VHS or DVD each year, but the first golden era presumably sits in the vaults of CBP, and I have no doubt people would be excited to see them. And not just, say, 1976-83, but how about some of the building up years, like Lefty's great 1972, or the Yes We Can years of Dave Cash?
Thanks for any comments you have, or anything you can do to push this forward as a project. (Paging Video Dan…)

The project looks at existing procedures and the legal consequences concerning data protection violations in all EU Member States. The findings will provide insights about why available redress mechanisms in the area of data protection are not used to the full extent that they could be. Using both desk and fieldwork based research, the project aims to capture the experiences and views of the main actors concerned – focusing on experiences in selected EU Member States – with regard to the application and use of redress mechanisms.
Recent studies, including special Eurobarometer surveys and the agency's own report on data protection authorities, have highlighted that redress mechanisms in the area of data protection are available but little used. At present there is insufficient information at EU level about individuals' access to redress mechanisms that would allow an in-depth understanding of the situation, and which could provide some insights about what measures are needed to improve use of and access to redress.
The project involves legal and social fieldwork research. The legal component maps current provisions with respect to relevant legislation and redress mechanisms concerning data protection at the Member State level. The fieldwork component involves qualitative interviews with complainants as well as those who decided not to take a complaint further, as well as judges working in this area. Focus group discussions also took place with members of staff from data protection authorities, as well as with legal practitioners and other intermediaries working on data protection.

- Main article: Nandor
nandor is a Qenya word meaning "farmer".[1]
While listed by Helge Fauskanger in his Neo-Quenya wordlists, he notes that the word is "perhaps obsolete in LotR-style Quenya, clashing with the name of the Nandor".[2]

The best ending of the season? I think that was from Gatchaman Crowds, closely followed by Silver Spoon. Rozen Maiden had the potential to top both of them, but no, they had to come with that damn cliff-hanger!
And that is pretty much the only complaint I have about the final two episodes. The character development really was great, for a lot of the cast. Hina Ichigo, beautifully redeemed herself for a season of absence, Jun grew in both his versions and Suigintou… the reason she did not take Souseiseiki's Rosa Mystica promises great things for the future.
The same goes for Jun: he always looked up to his younger self, and now it becomes apparent that younger Jun was great because he just never challenged his own weaknesses. Putting him in a coma will have a great effect on the rest of the cast, and put them into the roles that he previously occupied. Which brings me back to how this is the end of the season.
So yeah, whoever is producing this: you had better have planned a second season, instead of using this as a stupid sequel hook, putting off the decision for a sequel based upon whether or not the sales are right. Nothng has been announced yet, and that cliff-hanger could have been completely omitted and we would have had a satisfying finale. A bit of anime original aftermath for Jun, and Voila! That would have worked easily, and Tomomi Mochizuki can write that without a doubt to make it leave a good impression.
It's not like I can hunt you down or something… but yeah. I'm watching out for that sequel…
Rating: 5.5/8 (Excellent)

Sizing for Arch Angels Children's Insoles:
XS = US Toddler 6-8 (EU Size 22-24)
S = US Toddler 9-10 (EU Size 25-27)
M = US Children 11-12 (EU Size 28,29)
L = US Youth 13-1 (EU Size 30,31)
YM = US Youth 2-3 (EU Size 32,33)
YL = US Youth 4-5 (EU Size 34,35)
Keep in mind that Arch Angels will take up additional space inside the shoe, and therefore it may be necessary to move up a half-size shoe to accommodate their cushioning support. Because the product is 3/4 length, Arch Angels are designed to fit comfortably into most enclosed shoes
Why Arch Angels?
Arch Angels pick up where the shoe design leaves off by upgrading the insole. Arch Angels can do what even the best shoes can't: makes kids' feet more comfortable while enhancing natural arch development.
Arch Angels uses a unique triple-layer design:
Arch Angels are constructed of durable, non-toxic materials, and are hand washable.
Arch Angels contour to the developing foot, going from a low, gentle curve in the smallest size, to a higher arch that more resembles an adult foot with the largest size.
Simply put, no matter what you pay for your children's shoes, any shoe with Arch Angels inside is a better shoe!
Arch Angels will fit into any enclosed shoe and can be moved from shoe to shoe to provide uninterrupted support.

Yesterday close to two hundred women from Fukushima began a three-day sit-in outside the Tokyo office of Japan's Ministry of Economy calling for the evacuation of children from areas with high radiation levels and the permanent shut down of nuclear reactors in Japan currently switched off. Their peaceful protest is a powerful - almost radical – act in a country where standing up for something can often mean ostracism from one's community. These are not women who regularly participate in civil protest. These are mothers who fear for their children's safety and future. These are grandmothers separated from their families. The fact that they have put their own lives and families on hold for these three days reflects the harrowing situation these women and their families have found themselves in since the nuclear disaster. The responsibilities of these women have only grown since the nuclear meltdown completely disrupted their lives. One of the women protesting, Ms. Saeko Uno, fled Fukushima with her 4-year daughter just hours after the earthquake struck Japan on March 11. She is now living in another city, but her husband can't give up his job in Fukushima and has to commute back and forth between the two cities. She is frustrated by the separation that has been forced on her family by the disaster. Ms. Uno came to the protest to tell the world that Fukushima doesn't need nuclear power. In Fukushima, many victims of nuclear radiation are not recognised by the government as having an official right to evacuate the area. This injustice is another issue that has brought Ms. Uno and dozens of other women to Tokyo to protest.The women come from all backgrounds. They are young and old (including an 86-year-old woman), teachers and farmers. During the sit-in they will knit a long woolen chain together, a symbol for them of connecting themselves in one circle. They are calling on women from all over Japan and the rest of the world to join them, beginning on October 30th. Some of the women have been protesting against the Fukushima nuclear plant for years – long before the earthquake and tsunami. Others have joined the cause after the radiation began to affect their families, their children. Most of all, Ms. Uno explains, they want to connect with each other and - amongst the despair that has brought them together – find hope.

This is such an important protest. We support you here in the U.S. We are watching, listening and following your story. Our hearts are with you. As a mother, my heart is with you all. I will join your protest here in New York.

Then, on July 19, 2010, this task force released a set of final recommendations that set a new direction for improved stewardship of the ocean, our coasts, and the Great Lakes.
To translate the set of final recommendations into on-the-ground actions for the benefit of the American people, the National Ocean Council released the final implementation plan on April 16, 2013. The implementation plan focuses on improving coordination to speed federal permitting decisions and better manage the ocean, coastal, and Great Lakes resources that drive so much of our economy. The plan also seeks to develop and disseminate sound scientific information that local communities, industries, and decision-makers can use. In all these goals, effective collaboration with state, tribal, and local partners, as well as marine industries and other stakeholders, is essential.
The purpose of this website is to provide users with marine planning information, including national-level policies and NOAA's prominent role in this activity. Of equal importance is the goal to help managers and policy makers, and all others who use and appreciate the ocean, understand the concept of marine planning and advance its implementation regionally in real-world settings.
Coastal and marine spatial planning—or marine planning—is a science-based tool that regions can use to address specific ocean management challenges and advance their goals for economic development and conservation. Just as federal agencies work with states, tribes, local governments, and others to manage forests, grasslands, and other areas, they also can use marine planning to coordinate activities among all coastal and ocean interests and provide the opportunity to share information. This process is designed to decrease user conflict, improve planning and regulatory efficiencies, decrease associated costs and delays, engage affected communities and stakeholders, and preserve critical ecosystem functions and services.
Put simply, marine planning is a process developed from the bottom up to improve collaboration and coordination among all coastal and ocean interests, and to better inform and guide decision-making that affects their economic, environmental, security, and social and cultural interests.

At this time of year, Canadians may be preoccupied with paying off their holiday credit card expenses – and not thinking too much about longer term prospects. With high unemployment, continuing stock market declines and worrying news about the European and American fiscal crises, many Canadians have been lowering their debt loads.
Their federal government is planning to do the same. The trick is to cut without stalling a fragile recovery, while making the investments necessary to ensure sustainability for the next generation of Canadians.
While this may seem to be entirely an economic exercise, important ethical issues are involved. Christians can use this opportunity to consider the type of budget that will best reflect our deeply-held values.
This spring, our federal government will present the 2012 budget. This will be the first concrete indication of the spending priorities of the majority Conservative government. Canada's finance minister has signaled his plan to make an immediate $1 billion in spending cuts (followed by billions more in future years) to address the country's $31-billion deficit.
A lot of angst is being expressed in the country's social sector about what these cuts could mean. Several international organizations (including the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace) have been left waiting for months now, and fear they may lose grants to support worthy projects overseas.
The parliamentary budget officer reports that up to 6,000 public servants could receive pink slips over the next three years.
So what should a budget do – if judged by ethical standards?
A biblical ethic would demand that our society get its priorities straight: Our first call is to defend the orphans, the widows and the strangers (Deuteronomy 10.18; 24.17-21.)
Strangely, when we look at Canada today, we find that children in single-support families and newcomers to Canada (those here for less than a decade) are over-represented among those groups of people living in poverty.
In Alberta, according to Food Banks Canada, 58,735 individuals were assisted by food banks last March. This number was up a staggering 75 per cent since 2008, with 44 per cent of users under age 18.
At the same time, most Canadians realize that the poor are growing poorer, and the rich, richer. A Jan. 2 report of the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives reported that, even in these turbulent economic times, the average of Canada's CEO elite 100 make 189 times more than Canadians earning the average wage.
Over the past 25 years, according to a recent study by the Caledon Institute of Social Policy, earnings of the wealthy in Canada grew by 16 per cent, while those of the poor dropped 21 per cent.
There are tendencies inherent in capitalist markets that generate inequality. Government interventions can regulate markets and distribute income to avoid extremes of inequality that eventually harm everyone in society. Will budget 2012 increase or decrease inequality in Canada?
While Canadians may believe that governments tend to use their contributions to favour the poorest income groups, the Centre for the Study of Living Standards reminds us that government redistribution efforts mostly favour the elderly.
There is an important lesson to consider: when Canadians decided to address poverty among seniors in the 1960s, we made a plan, implemented the OAS and GIS, and succeeded. Now, seniors have the lowest poverty rate of any demographic group.
Surely, if people of faith decided that we've seen enough poverty in Canada, we could make common cause with others and encourage Ottawa to develop a plan, and make major progress towards eradicating poverty among other target groups – like people with disabilities, children or aboriginal Canadians.
Of course, not all cuts can or should be avoided, and sometimes our political leaders must make tough choices.
When Citizens for Public Justice presented a brief to the House of Commons' Standing Committee on Finance last August, we suggested measures that would not cost more, but that would lower inequality, assist the vulnerable and sustain livelihoods in beneficial ways. We recommended three alternatives:
Budgets are all about choices. Remember to place your own values first whenever you hear the mistaken mantra that "the economy" presents us with no options. Christians can be the leaven in societal movements that place the needs of the vulnerable and the earth above the wants of the few. The choice is ours.

President Barack Obama has characterized Pakistan as the "cancer" inhibiting US progress in Afghanistan. Pakistani leaders openly wonder whether America is an ally or an enemy. US taxpayers ask why Washington is giving billions to a country they see as a breeder of terrorism. Pakistanis, having been burned by America's fair-weather friendship before, expect their fragile trust in the US to be shattered again.
That is the grim context for this week's high-level meetings between Pakistani and US leaders in Washington. It will be tempting to push for a diplomatic divorce. Yet the strategic alliance between Pakistan and the United States remains too vital to global security interests to fail. The modernization of Pakistan's government, economic infrastructure, and social fabric is a crucial bulwark to keep Muslim radicalism from taking root, or being exported, so easily.
Pakistan's fundamental problem is lack of good governance. Politicians remain self-serving and greedy, unable to deliver even the most basic of government services when tragedy strikes, as it did with this summer's historic floods. Nobody seems able to account for the billions in aid that the government has received. Donor fatigue is at all-time highs. The Taliban and Al Qaeda stand ever ready to fill the void left by government to provide safe, structured ways of life to millions of Pakistan's poor and needy.
An Army that can't decide
The Army, Pakistan's only viable institution of governance, can't decide whether it wants to nurture the Taliban so it can maintain strategic depth in Afghanistan or kill them so the money spigot continues to flow from Washington.
Pakistan's vaunted intelligence services stand accused of harboring America's No. 1 enemy, Osama bin Laden, in northwest frontier border areas in the relative luxury of homes, not caves, by the very NATO officials they are supposed to be assisting in tracking down the terror master and his key aides. Current policy therefore, it seems, is hypocritically a little of both.
The one thing the Army doesn't seem to want to do anymore is take over the reigns of government – perhaps the clearest sign yet of how deeply ill Pakistan is.
To top it off, Pakistan's revolving door politics will soon see Asif Ali Zardari, the president, at fisticuffs with a Supreme Court that is threatening to reopen corruption cases against him at the behest of another former premier, Nawaz Sharif. The chief justice, sadly, owes his return to power to Mr. Sharif.
What a mess....
And still, Pakistan's resilience is its saving grace. That is why the world, and particularly America, needs to come to its side and help fix what ails it. While Pakistani leaders are meeting with their American counterparts in Washington this week, relations should be put back on a strategic long-term path developed around three main action points:
Helping Pakistan after the flood
1) Flood reconstruction. America needs to win back Pakistanis on the streets by assisting in reconstruction of flood-ravaged areas more visibly and widely. Gen. Ashfaq Kayani, Pakistan's army chief, who travels to Washington this week, should meet with the US Army Corps of Engineers to agree on terms for an elite team of American road, bridge, water, and electric grid systems experts to be integrated into reconstruction efforts.
General Kayani should then ask Mr. Zardari to create the Pakistan Reconstruction Board, a blue-ribbon panel of experts whose mandate and power to execute redevelopment plans is sanctioned by an act of Parliament.
The panel should be comprised of US, European, and Chinese experts. Pakistani engineers can offer local expertise and some global heavyweights (like Muhammad Yunus of microcredit fame and former President Bill Clinton, the fundraiser-in-chief) should join to get the private sector involved. Even the Taliban should be allowed to contribute so they have a stake in the most important non-partisan project the country will ever undertake.
The commission should be funded in part by American taxpayers and a Chinese government grant. But the largest share of funding should come from the Pakistani military's bloated budget. Its primary task should be to coordinate foreign donor aid that will help reconstruct roads, bridges, and rail lines. It should also ensure that foreign companies can bring needed manpower, equipment, expertise, and money in without being ensnared by Pakistan's legendary bureaucracy and commission merchants.
Drone strikes
2) US actions on Pakistani soil. The US military needs to be smarter about its stealth operations in Pakistan. Killing bad guys may give the White House a sense of achievement and excitement, but every misfire sets relations with Pakistan's people back years.
The underground culture that pervades Pakistan's streets can disseminate inaccurate information about each botched attack faster than a Google search. No amount of American political fence-mending or money can compete with that. Drone attacks should be fewer and farther between. Coordination with Pakistani ground intelligence needs to be infused with a new commitment of trust so Drone operators don't attack unless Pakistan's Army command gives the green light. If it goes wrong then, everyone shares the blame.
Most of all, America needs to engage Pakistan's people at the human level by allocating the bulk of its 5-year, $7.5 billion aid package to building lots of local health-care facilities, schools (particularly ones that educate girls), and nourishment centers. Microcredit finance, to which the US should contribute significant amounts, can become a centerpiece of US policy to rehabilitate Pakistan. Pakistanis are industrious and want to work – the world should help them do so.
Peace talks with India
3) External relations. When Mr. Obama visits India in November, he must urge Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to rekindle peace talks with Pakistan. He should explain that while Pakistan may have given birth to and nurtured South Asia's extremist groups, they are now everyone's problem.
India must take the lead in managing the metastasis of South Asian extremism. Mr. Singh should invite Zardari to New Delhi for a summit. Trade is the easiest subject to tackle. Kashmir and nuclear arms are the most difficult. Kayani, who would be charged with implementing any peace accord concluded by Zardari, would get support from his Army hawks if the tangible benefits to Pakistan's national security and economic revitalization outweigh lingering perceptions of threats from New Delhi.
Singh should also assure Obama that India has no nefarious designs against Pakistan by assisting in Afghanistan's rehabilitation. Fears of this East-West squeeze have driven hawkish sentiment inside Pakistan's Army command structure since 2001; these must be alleviated if Kayani is to succeed in co-opting his hawks.
Pakistan can also play a constructive role in calming unrest in Muslim Kashmir, where separatists were once bankrolled by Pakistan's intelligence services. Instructing their former proteges to engage in peace dialogue with New Delhi would reap great dividends for Pakistan in the larger regional peace equation.
The Obama administration's bet on a good outcome in Afghanistan has no meaning if America loses substance in its relationship with Pakistan. The problems that beset this nuclear-armed nation are overwhelming on any scale. But that's no reason to replace smart policymaking with fear and cynicism. It takes a president with skill, strategic vision, and some guts to eradicate the cancer without killing the patient. It is time for Obama to demonstrate just how good a surgeon he is.
Mansoor Ijaz, an American of Pakistani origin, is a venture capitalist who jointly authored the blueprint for a cease-fire of hostilities between Indian security forces and militant Islamists in Kashmir in July and August 2000.

Dave Pietramala's reputation for being cautious and methodical precedes him as he takes to the recruiting trail every summer. The Johns Hopkins coach cast that aside when it came to wooing Zach Palmer.
In 2008, Pietramala received an email from former Georgetown standout Brodie Merrill, the coach at The Hill Academy, a prep school in Ontario, Canada. Embedded in the email was a four-minute video clip of a small, fast attackman who dodged, dippedand dazzled against his opponents.
Based on that video, Pietramala agreed to offer Palmer, an Ontario native who was considering Princeton and Georgetown at that time, a scholarship — without having watched him in person.
"We really hadn't gotten to know him that well, and yet we're taking a flyer on him, saying, 'We can't wait because he's going to make a decision. So we've got to decide now,'" Pietramala recalled. "And we took him. We still had to fill in the blanks on some things. We thought we knew about his natural ability, but we didn't know how hard he worked or know enough about what kind of kid he was or what kind of character he had or how he handled adversity. These are things you hope you find out in the recruiting process, and we didn't have that. So that coupled with never having had a Canadian before, it was a new process for us. I couldn't tell you if we were really worried because we didn't know what to worry about."
That risky decision paid off handsomely as Palmer has emerged as the top playmaker for the No. 8 Blue Jays (10-3), who welcome No. 20 Army (7-7) to Homewood Field in Baltimore on Saturday in the regular-season finale for both teams.
Palmer leads the team in both assists (21) and points (39) and along with sophomore Brandon Benn, has been a constant on an attack unit that has absorbed injuries to senior Chris Boland (broken collarbone) and freshman Wells Stanwick (right hand).
Reminded of his unusual path to Johns Hopkins, Palmer acknowledged that the program took a leap of faith in offering him a scholarship.
"Yeah, it's a little bit surreal once I think about it," he said. "I guess I really haven't thought about it too much, but I guess it's pretty crazy when you think about it."
Palmer's potential was spotted early by Merrill, the nation's Defensive Player of the Year in 2005. Merrill, who still plays for the Major League Lacrosse's Hamilton Nationals and the National Lacrosse League's Philadelphia Wings, said Palmer reminded him of a certain opponent who is the only player to twice win the Tewaaraton Award, which is presented to the country's top collegiate player.
"He reminded me so much of [Syracuse's four-time All American] Mike Powell in the way that he moved and how aggressive he was," Merrill said. "And he kind of had that pass-first mentality. I had played against Mike Powell in college, and I just saw a lot of similarities in their game. Obviously, Zach has a little bit more of a Canadian feel to it, but I suspected that he would have an early impact."
After a freshman campaign in which he split time between midfield and attack, Palmer blossomed last year, finishing first in assists (25) and second in points (47). He is on par to at least match that production this season.
Listed at 5-foot-8 and 168 pounds, Palmer takes a pounding from opponents' top defensemen, who freely use their stick to batter him. But Boland said Palmer is deceivingly strong and unafraid to attack larger opposition.
"I think this year especially, he's grown into more of a dodging role, and that has to do with some of the injuries we had early in the year with Wells and myself," Boland said. "But he's always been a capable dodger. He's small, but he's very quick and has got a great burst of speed. He's a pretty physical dodger for being so small."
When injuries sidelined Boland and Stanwick, Palmer filled the void on attack, amassing 10 goals and 12 assists during Boland's seven-game absence. But Palmer said he didn't feel much pressure to carry the load on attack.
"We all have certain roles to play, and other guys can step in and play them," he said. "As long as everyone did their job, we were fine in all the games that we didn't have Bo. So it really wasn't a huge deal. I just had to lead a little bit more when I have the ball in my stick. But I didn't mind that and everyone stepped into their roles, and we were fine."
Palmer's continued development could help determine if Johns Hopkins reaches the Final Four on Memorial Day weekend for the first time since 2008. Regardless of the team's final destination, Pietramala said he's been pleased with Palmer's progress.
"We've been thrilled with what he's done," Pietramala said. "He's an outstanding passer. When you think of Canadians, you think of finishers usually, and really, we'd love to see him pull the trigger a little bit more. We want him to be more aggressive because he is a very good dodger when he puts his mind to it. Watching him against [junior defenseman] Tucker Durkin in practice, you can see that. But he's a guy that we'd like to see be more aggressive, and I think he's still learning and growing into that role."

I've never been to Vegas before, but I'm inspired by its glamorous hotels and resorts. As Vegas gets quite hot, my purple lace top with bows would be just right for the warm temperatures, while the lightweight bomber jacket would be the perfect cover-up to transition to an evening look, as the lovely embroidered detail gives it a dressed-up feel for night time. The jeans and copper-toned ballet pumps would allow me to walk around the city freely, without feeling restricted. Finally, my holographic 'love' handbag adds a glamorous finishing touch and is roomy enough for my beauty essentials, so I could freshen up before hitting the town.
I hope you like my #Ultimate Vegas Outfit! If you're planning a trip to Vegas, you can find inspiration from this helpful page. What would you wear on a trip to Vegas? Let me know in the comments below!

Cinnamon Buns
I was planning on trying my hands at making cinnamon buns, and last night was the night! The kneading the dough was the toughest part...5- 10 minutes. I think I managed to do 7.Had to take my sweatshirt off to do it.
Kneading dough is an art all in itself. So once the dough doubled in size, at least 2 hours I left it on the counter. Keep in mind I live in cold climate, so I am certain it would be less time if you lived somewhere warmer:P
Now most of my recipes are my own, or adapted from somewhere. But because I wanted a fool proof recipe, I googled the best vegan cinnamon bun recipe, and found this one...
Seemed simple enough. So I put everything together and keep it in the refrigerator over night, so in the morning the smell of cinnamon was what got them out of bed:)
2½ t active dry yeast
½ C unbleached sugar
1 C soymilk, warmed
2 eggs worth of egg replacer OR 2 T ground flaxseeds whisked together with 6 T hot water
⅓ C Earth Balance margarine, melted
4½ C unbleached flour
1 t salt
1 C brown sugar, packed
2½ T ground cinnamon
⅓ C Earth Balance margarine, softened
About 3/8 (3 oz) of a container of Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese
¼ C Earth Balance margarine, softened
1½ C powdered sugar
½ t vanilla extract
⅛ t salt
Mix yeast, sugar, and heated soy milk in a large mixing bowl and let stand until foamy.
Add egg replacer, melted margarine, flour, and salt. Mix well and knead for 5-10 minutes. The dough should be firm and smooth, not sticky. Set the dough aside in a covered bowl and let double in size.
After the dough has doubled, turn it out onto a floured work surface, cover, and let rest for 10 more minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon.
Roll dough into a 16x21 inch rectangle. Spread dough with margarine and sprinkle evenly with sugar/cinnamon mixture. Roll up dough and cut into 12 sections with a sharp knife.
Place rolls in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking pan. (A cookie sheet also works fine.) Cover and let rise until nearly doubled, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
Bake rolls in preheated oven until golden brown, about 15 minutes. While rolls are baking, beat together Tofutti, margarine, powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt. Spread frosting on warm rolls before serving.

Hi Kirsten! I love cinnamon rolls and yours look simply delicious--all that work in making them is well worth the time in my opinion! Your blog has been a stopping point for quite a while--I will add you to my blog roll as I love your recipes!ReplyDelete
The buns were actually not much work. Except for the kneading, but if you had a bread machine...(which I would love :P), they would be easy.
Thanks for adding me to your blog roll, I will do the same.
Nice looking cinnamon buns, Kirsten. I always say that a 10 minute knead is a good upper body workout, but nobody in my family believes me. Thanks!ReplyDelete

About olives
The olive fruit is a drupe. It has a bitter component (oleuropein), a low sugar content (2.6-6%) compared with other drupes (12% or more) and a high oil content (12-30%) depending on the time of year and variety.
These characteristics make it a fruit that cannot be consumed directly from the tree and it has to undergo a series of processes that differ considerably from region to region, and which also depend on variety. Some olives are, however, an exception to this rule because as they ripen they sweeten right on the tree, in most cases this is due to fermentation. One case in point is the Thrubolea variety in Greece.
Oleuropein, which is distinctive to the olive, has to be removed as it has a strong bitter taste: it is not, however, pernicious to health. Depending on local methods and customs, the fruit is generally treated in sodium or potassium hydroxide, brine or successively rinsed in water.
