Hotels in this story
1300 on Fillmore will transport you to another time, another place.
The glamorous San Francisco supper club greets you like a contemporary Southern belle with attitude from the moment you step inside its massive, heavy doors.
All warm, chocolate brown leather and polished wood, the lounge features a dramatic wall of back-lit black and white photos of the historic Fillmore Jazz District that surrounds the restaurant, a short drive from the Hotel Kabuki San Francisco.
There's live jazz in the lounge regularly, and even gospel performances during Sunday brunch.
Recently, I was invited to be a guest of the four-year-old restaurant to try Chef David Lawrence's singular take on Southern specialties. Lawrence owns the restaurant with his wife, Monetta, who greets guests in the dining room as if welcoming them to her own home. He is English-born, of Jamaican heritage, and French-trained — all of which shows on his plates. The food has the comforting quality you want in Southern cooking, but here it's done up with far more flair and refinement.
Warm triangles of cornbread, crusty on the outside and tender within, arrived at the table with a pot of sweet-spicy red pepper jam. You will have to summon all the willpower you have not to eat every single one.
An amuse arrived — a large plate with a small crater in the center, cradling thick, rustic grits with tomato marmalade and blue cheese. It had nice balance, because even with the addition of the pungent cheese, you could still taste the lovely corn flavor of the grits.
Little Gem salad ($8) brought crunchy long leaves drizzled with tangy buttermilk dressing, and scattered with spiced molasses glazed pecans and crunchy croutons made from more of that wonderful cornbread.
Barbecue shrimp and grits ($14) carried a lovely hit of spice, as well as irresistible fried garlic chips that made the dish memorable.
Of course, who can resist fried chicken at a Southern restaurant? You need to allow 20 minutes for this one ($24), as it's cooked to order. This is not your fried chicken with crunchy curlicues of crisp batter enveloping it. This is more your neat, civilized version of fried chicken. First off, it's boned out. Second, Lawrence uses a marinade-brine to keep it super moist, then dredges it in organic corn flour seasoned with a touch of cumin, before shallow-frying it in cast-iron skillet. Take a bite and it's more of a chewy crunch rather than a shattering one, with the flesh tender and juicy.
Pan-roasted diver scallops ($26) arrived beautifully seared with sweet potato mash with a hint of cinnamon, and a carrot-cardamom sauce studded with crispy bits of pancetta.
We couldn't pass up a side of white truffle macaroni and white cheddar cheese ($7). This is not your heart-attack version drowned in paste-thick, cheese sauce. Instead, the macaronis are coated in a thinner, more restrained sauce that's still dreamy-creamy and satisfying.
For dessert, you can't go wrong with banana cream pie ($9). It's not served as a wedge here, but as an individual tart with a filling that's more pleasingly custard-like than pudding-ish. Swirls of caramel-lime sauce add a little more sweetness to this very fresh tasting dessert.
Like any good supper club, 1300 on Fillmore takes you to another place — one so comfortable that you won't want to leave anytime soon.

As an online marketer, you can see how many thousands of information products are created to serve this niche alone. Some of the most successful online marketers make their living by promoting courses and e-books that teach various internet marketing skills. You can find information products, though, on every imaginable subject, so the field is wide open. You can also find plenty of info products on topics such as "dating tips" and "dessert recipes," as well as thousands of others. One of the main functions of the web is to deliver information to people, and this will always be the case. If you've ever considered entering the information products business, the following three benefits of doing this might be all the convincing you need.
1) When you sell information products online, you have no guarantee of success, and this is, of course, true of any business. Yet failure in this case, which usually results from not doing proper preparation, doesn't have to be costly, so it's easy to try again. Whereas with an offline business you might be investing your life savings, there are many low cost and free online marketing strategies.
In other words, you can create lots of info products in various niches and proceed with the ones that are successful. Testing out new ideas with info products is a walk in the park. One of the best aspects of an information business is that digital products, unlike physical ones, don't require any shipping or storage. This solves the biggest hurdle businesses face when starting out, which is having to take care of these recurring costs. Your info product can be downloaded by your customers right away, without having to wait – instant gratification!
2) Information products can be created in a single day when you know how. The fact is, experienced information marketers do this consistently.
3) When you have this business model in place, you can simply release products when you want and sell them to the people on your email list. What's more, when you have your list of buyers, your market research becomes as simple as shooting them an email and asking what they want. As you release more products, you'll eventually be seen as an authority in your area of interest.
As we've seen, if you're committed to doing what it takes to succeed, selling information products can be the ideal business. Some of the largest and most profitable info product businesses that are raking in huge profits today were started from scratch. It's not necessary to understand everything perfectly to get started.
The more action you take, the easier it will be to know what to do next. All you have to do is find a topic that excites you, do some research and launch an information product!

Muscle relaxant medicines relax muscles
and may help reduce pain in people who have muscle spasms. The muscle-relaxing
effects of these medicines are most likely the result of their ability to
depress the
central nervous system.
Muscle relaxant medicines are used
when muscle spasms occur because of pain caused by a
herniated disc.
Muscle relaxant medicines are
usually helpful for reducing the pain of muscle spasms. Muscle relaxants may
help to relax muscle spasms caused by a herniated disc, but muscle relaxants
will not affect the herniated disc itself.1, 2
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if you have:
Call your doctor right away if you have:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Regular use of some muscle relaxants, such as diazepam and carisoprodol, can lead to physical dependence or addiction. But the risk is small when they are properly prescribed and taken by people who do not have a history of substance abuse.
Muscle relaxant medicines work
best when taken before bedtime. They should not be used when you are driving or
operating machinery.
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or trying to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

Disclosed approx 61 million share position in Talisman Energy. May have conversations with mgmt re strategic alternatives, board seats, etc.— Carl Icahn (@Carl_C_Icahn) October 7, 2013The 61.5 million shares (61,554,602 shares including options) represents approximately 5.97% of the outstanding common stock as of as of July 26, 2013. Icahn's decision to disclose his investment in Talisman Energy on Twitter follows his creation of an account this summer. In August, Apple's market capitalization surged by $17 billion when Icahn took to Twitter to announce a $2 billion investment in the iPhone maker and a proposal to increase the firm's share repurchase activity. In subsequent tweets, Icahn said he would meet with Apple CEO Tim Cook about his proposals for the company's capital management. Earlier in October, Icahn said a dinner with Cook and Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer had been productive, if slightly testy. He expects to follow up discussions on a $150 billion share repurchase plan in coming weeks. Talisman Energy shares surged over 8% in after-hours trading on Icahn's disclosure of an investment in the Calgary-based oil and gas driller. Talisman Energy shares have fallen over 3% in the past 52-weeks and are under-performing broader markets in 2013. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York Follow @antoinegara
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- A month after Carl Icahn disclosed a multi-billion dollar investment in Apple ( AAPL) on Twitter, the billionaire activist investor took to the micro-blogging site again. This time, Icahn announced a 61 million share stake in Talisman Energy ( TLM). Icahn said in a tweet late Monday that he would speak with Talisman's management about considering strategic initiatives and gaining seats on the driller's board of directors. "Disclosed approx 61 million share position in Talisman Energy. May have conversations with mgmt re strategic alternatives, board seats, etc.," Icahn wrote on Twitter.

If you walked into our small kitchen it might look as though the semi-circles we are dancing around each other are coordinated. They're not. They're of the moment, born of boiling water and butter that needs fetching and a simmering sauce that needs stirring. There's groovy, mellow music from the 1970s floating in from the dining room. (The John Denver station on Pandora. I recommend it.) We've both put down our phones and the endless to-do list. Instead, we're focused on slicing tomatoes, frying eggplant, and finding that damn casserole pan. (I know I pulled it out before we started. Where did it go?) There's heat and steam escaping from the pan, the smell of tart dough lacquered with apple glaze wafting from the oven. The floor needs mopping. We might not get to it before we go to bed. Mostly, we're laughing.
Danny and I are cooking together.
When I first started writing on this site, when I thought no one was reading, I was cooking every night. That's where it began, with cooking. Suddenly spry after a lifetime of feeling lousy, I walked into the kitchen every evening with a sense of anticipation. What would happen that night as I stood in front of the stove? My movements were deliberate, conscious. I noticed everything. After a liftetime of living with dimmed windows, I stood bathed in light. I had celiac and I wasn't eating gluten for the first time in my life.
And I could not believe how much joy existed in my fingertips as I chopped onions and listened for the sizzle as they hit hot oil in a pan.
When I realized people were watching in clutches of comments from strangers it changed, a little. I figured out enough html to put a site meter on here. 56 people a day were visiting in the summer of 2005. 56 people! (Of course, when I looked closer, I realized that at 1/3 of them came from ip addresses in the Middle East, searching for "free girl.") I found other people writing websites with photographs of their food. I thought I was the only one strange enough to tip the camera above my plate. I found a community.
Back then, no one expected to run a business by starting a blog. No one began a blog after investigating WordPress vs. Blogspot or buying a $2500 camera to take composed shots on peeling white picnic tables with sprigs of lavender next to the plate. There was no one watching. We just cooked and took photographs and found our friends.
There are moments that I hate being a food blogger. I don't think of myself as that. I'm a mama, a wife, a writer, someone playing with a more sophisticated camera after a year of a point and shoot, five years of an old used camera, and the camera on my phone. For me, this space this page on a computer screen virtually inspired to look like a page is just a place to write. Lately, I've loved figuring out ways - with Danny and our tribe of good people we can do more to help people and earn enough money at this to do even more. But a blogger? Blah.
It's when I think of myself as a blogger that things go astray.
When I have looked at too many blogs, or lingered in the pretty world of Pinterest for a few moments, or spent too much time on Twitter, I start to doubt. I start talking to Danny about the photo studio space we should make under the one window in our garage, the props we should buy, the ways we should change. I wonder if I should buy those sturdy striped straws that show up in every third photo. I start thinking about hiring someone to teach me what the heck SEO is so we can increase the number of hits we get each month. I start worrying. I stop writing or dancing or looking for light. I start worrying.
It's in this moment that Danny, who knows me best, takes me by the hand. He doesn't say a word. He leads me into the kitchen.
And we cook.
I love having him home now.
We met a year after I started this site. After more than 365 nights of cooking in my kitchen, my movements becoming more deft with every dish, I gave him the keys to the apartment. And then I stepped out of the kitchen. He brought home meals, or played with new ingredients on his days off. Sure, we cooked together sometimes, but I mostly felt like his pupil. I had so much to learn.
For a year, he didn't work at a restaurant, but we were writing our cookbook and surviving our first year of parenthood. I realize now it took almost two full years to feel like we were any good at this. No one tells you that, do they? That you'll fumble and falter and feel like everyone else has it more together so you stay silent when you really just want to talk about the lack of sleep and the way this kid breaks your heart open every day. Having a kid breaks you. And you're stronger for the broken places. So even though Danny was home with me in the kitchen, it's a bit of a blur now. And we were writing a cookbook, where I felt like I had to prove myself, as a writer. And by the way, who was I to write a cookbook? So I relied on the chef.
And then he returned to a restaurant. And I was at home with a baby healing from major surgery, then a darling toddler who never stopped moving. I cooked. I baked. I never stopped. But I wasn't cooking much with Danny. There was no longer time for those slow afternoons.
It has only been in the last six months, since he has been home and we've been doing all that we do as our full-time job, that I can feel us both relaxing in the kitchen. We're not going anywhere. This is our home. And the small daily meals we make for Lu and ourselves are most of the time more interesting to me than the dishes we're creating for cookbooks or other sites. We're cooking in the moment, making a meal out of what is on the kitchen counters. Sauteed kale and onions with oven-dried tomatoes, with scrambled eggs, roasted fingerling potatoes, and goat cheese from the farmer down the road. Black rice and quinoa, with roasted chicken and butternut squash, topped with sunflower seeds and champagne vinaigrette. Vegetable stock started from the stems of the kale we're growing in our garden.
These days, we're really cooking, every day, most of the day. Danny's whistling, more relaxed than he has ever been. I'm cubing cold butter to make a pie dough and look over at the steam escaping as he stirs and run for the camera. There's that light. And it's in the sheet tray full of fried eggplant he lay down on the floor since there is no more counter space.
If I were good at this blog thing, I would have written something entirely different. It would have been less than 500 words. It would have trumpeted easy! delicious! good for your family! I probably would have called it The Best Eggplant Parmesan, gluten-free, for the most hits. I used to do that because so many people told me that was the best way for hungry people to find my website on Google.
But who am I to say that ours is the best? It's just the one we made on Wednesday afternoon, before the preschool potluck, before I flew away to New York. Once, I would have said it tasted of our connection and the way we were going to miss each other. But honestly? It was just really great tomatoes, gooey cheese, and some damned fine eggplant. Part of it ended up on my jeans when Danny tried to hand it to me as I sat in the car. Lu had just thrown a fit because she was flipping out I was leaving her for 2 days and I was holding back tears. This plate of eggplant parmesan disappeared at the potluck.
If I were good at this blog thing, I would know what I am doing by now. There are hugely successful bloggers who nailed their structure and routine years ago. They figured out how long their posts should be, how many photographs they should include, and all the right words to draw an audience. And they repeat those posts - sometimes in brilliant words and photos again and again and again. Stumbling and writing, I've figured out some of that too.
But I still don't know what I'm doing. Sometimes we post three times a week. Sometimes it's once every two weeks. I wish that I could just write a little post every day with our photograph of our lunch and a few words. (And then I remember that Canal House Cooks Lunch has that one owned already.) Mostly, we eat a lot of whole grains, fresh vegetables, local meat, and good cheese around here. But there are many, many baked goods recipes on this site because I thought that's what people wanted.
This is why I love this place. This stumbling. The learning. My fumbling through words. I hope I don't ever get too good at this.
When I don't know much, I do know this. Cooking in the kitchen with my husband is one of the most deeply satisfying acts of my life, mostly without words.
So we'll just keep cooking.
There are hundreds of recipes for eggplant parmesan online, and I'm sure most of them are good. (There's even a page of links on Google for "Eggplant Parmesan to Induce Labor." Um, really?) So this isn't an attempt to create The Best Eggplant Parmesan or The Definitive Eggplant Parmesan.
Instead, this is what we made in our kitchen last week. The tomatoes were ripe, including a few from our own garden. The eggplants we had bought at the farmers' market had a few squishy thumbprints in them, and they needed to be used now. We happened to have some Parmesan and mozzarella in the refrigerator. But let me tell you, if you have some of those same ingredients in your kitchen right now, and some thick tomato sauce, you might think about having this for dinner tonight. For the first days of fall, after a long lovely summer? This feels just right.
2 large eggplants
2 cups neutral-tasting oil, such as sunflower
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 large yellow onion, peeled and sliced thin
3 large cloves garlic, peeled and sliced thin
1 red pepper, top taken off, seeds removed, and sliced thin
1 cup basil leaves, sliced thin
1 quart thick tomato sauce (if your bottled sauce is too thin, let it simmer until it thickens)
12 ounces fresh mozzarella
2 cups grated Parmesan
2 large tomatoes, sliced thin
Preparing the eggplant. Take the tops off the eggplants. Slice the eggplants into 1-inch slices. Scatter salt over the eggplant slices liberally. Let the eggplant slices sit for 1 hour.
Preparing to cook. Heat the oven to 425°.
Frying the eggplant. Set a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, pour in the sunflower oil. When the oil is hot put a drop of water in the oil and watch it sizzle lay 4 to 5 of the eggplant slices in the skillet. (Do not overcrowd the pan. You're going to have to do this in batches anyway.) Fry the eggplant until the bottoms are golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the eggplant slices and brown the other side, about 2 minutes. Remove the eggplant slices from the oil and lay them down on paper-towel-covered plates. Repeat with the remaining eggplant, in batches.
(You can save the sunflower oil in a big jar for the next time you fry something.)
Cooking the vegetables. Set that skillet, drained of the oil, onto medium-high heat. Pour in the olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onions, garlic, and peppers. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables have softened, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add the basil and stir until the scent of the basil releases into the room, about 1 minute.
Heating the tomato sauce. Meanwhile, in another pan, heat up the tomato sauce until it is simmering.
Building the final dish. Ladle enough tomato sauce onto the bottom of a 9×13 casserole pan to cover entirely. Arrange slices of eggplant on top of the sauce. Add a layer of the onion-pepper mixture. Ladle more sauce on top. Make a layer of the mozzarella slices. Add the sliced tomatoes, the last of the sauce, and the parmesan cheese.
Baking the eggplant parmesan. Put the pan onto a baking sheet. (Ideally, you cover the baking sheet with parchment paper too. We had just run out.) Slide it into the oven. Bake until all the cheeses and sauce are bubbling and hot, about 25 minutes. Pull it out of the oven to cool. Serve within a few moments.

Yogurt facials are among the most sought out facials of all the homemade facials that exist, due to the fact that they have a great effect on people with very sensitive skin types.

- Page 2 Features Review
- Page 3 Picture and Sound Quality Review
- Remarkably slim design
- Incredible value
- Good performance for the money
- Toshiba Places a bit content-light
- Obvious backlight inconsistencies
- Limited audio performance
Key Specifications
- Review Price: £399.99
- 32in LCD TV with edge LED lighting
- Freeview HD tuner
- Slimline silver design
- multimedia playback support
- Toshiba Places support
As we look back at 2011, few TV brands have been as consistently busy as Toshiba. For not content with launching some impressive new premium-level TVs to go with enlarged mid and budget ranges, Toshiba also sneaked in a second burst of TV activity just in time for Christmas, introducing the TL868 series to offer active 3D at a lower price point, as well as a new 2D-only RL858 series we're looking at here that's designed to offer cash-strapped punters more features than they might expect and something different in design terms.
The RL858 series is represented today by what will likely be the most popular model of the range: the 32RL858B. This TV's 32in size makes it a potential first and second-room option, especially as its appeal in both environments is greatly enhanced by the impressive slenderness of both its bezel and its rear.
The bezel is barely a cm wide along three sides (and even the larger bottom edge is trimmer than most), while the rear only sticks out around 30mm without the stand attached.
Also immediately catching your eye about the 32RL858B's design is the fact that it's clad in silver rather than the usual black. It has to be said that the glossless silver frame round the screen looks and feels a touch plasticky. But this is only to be expected, really, when you're talking about a fairly feature-rich 32in TV that costs less than £400. And it doesn't stop the 32RL858B from achieving its key goal of looking distinctive.
The fact that the 32RL858 ships already attached to its stand – something that's highly unusual these days – suggests that Toshiba doesn't really imagine people wall-hanging the TV. This is underlined by the fact that the vast majority of the 32RL858B's connections face straight out of the TV's rear rather than supporting wall-friendly side entry.
These connections are more than respectable for the 32RL858's money though. Three HDMIs get the ball rolling, but it's the multimedia support that really stands out. For instance, there's an Ethernet port that very impressively supports both streaming (albeit in rather limited fashion unless you have Windows 7) from a DLNA PC and access to Toshiba's 'Places' online system. Oh, and the Ethernet is also there as mandatory support for a built-in Freeview HD tuner that counts as an excellent finding for the sub-£400 32in market.
The set also sports a USB input through which you can play photo, sound or music files, including DivX HD. Or you can use the USB for adding one of Toshiba's WLM-20U2 wi-fi adaptors.

Lately the big news is that, at the ripe old age of 55, I got braces! Actually, I got Invisalign aligners. That was one of the first things I learned. They aren't actually referred to as braces. If you've ever wondered about them, you've come to the right place. I'm here to tell you everything I've learned about them in the month that I've been wearing them.

- They really are invisible. Well, almost. People who are looking for them can see them, but most people aren't looking for them.
- Well, actually people start looking for them because they make you talk funny. Your tongue just isn't used to them being there.
- Unlike metal braces, aligners don't interfere with your food choices. I can eat popcorn or sticky candy. I just have to take them out before I eat.
- This sounds great, but I also can't drink hot coffee with them in. This is a problem since I can only have them out a total of two hours a day. I drink more hot coffee than that, y'all! These aligners are cramping my coffee-drinking style!!

- Another issue I have is eating out. I have to find a delicate way to pop out my aligners before eating and replace them afterwards. I'm supposed to brush before I replace them, too! I don't know about you, but I don't find the public restroom private enough for this type of activity. I'm still working on solving this little problem.
- I've sort of solved my coffee-drinking dilemma by switching to cold tea. At least I'm getting my caffeine. There's still a problem though since I'm not supposed to drink any colored drink that might stain the aligners. I've solved this problem by ignoring this rule.
- I figure I can get away with ignoring this rule because I change to a new set of aligners every two weeks. How badly stained can they get in two weeks? How could it possibly go wrong?
- The purpose of switching to a new set of aligners is the same as the purpose of adjusting metal braces. That's how the movement of the teeth is accomplished.
- Unlike braces, Invaslign aligners don't hurt; at least I haven't had any pain. I am aware of them being in my mouth most of the time, however, especially when I'm speaking. Especially if I have to raise my voice to be heard over a room full of teenagers.
How about you? Did you have braces growing up or as an adult? Have you considered getting them as an adult? What else do you wonder about the whole process?

Study reveals new molecular target for melanoma treatment
A laboratory study led by UNC medical oncologist Stergios Moschos, MD, demonstrates how a new targeted drug, Elesclomol, blocks oxidative phosphorylation, which appears to play essential role in melanoma that has not been well-understood. Elesclomol (Synta Pharmaceuticals, Lexington, MA) was previously shown to have clinical benefit only in patients with normal serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a laboratory test routinely used to assess activity of disease.
For more than 60 years, scientists have known that cancer cells undergo glycolysis, or metabolize glucose, at a much higher rate than normal cells. The observation, called the Warburg effect, demonstrated that the normal energy producing processes in the cell are disrupted in cancer cells, preventing them from using metabolic pathways in the cell's mitochondria (often called the cell's "power plants").
Recently, however, increasing evidence suggests that, in addition to glycolysis, other metabolic pathways may also play a role in cancer, with important therapeutic implications. A promising strategy for targeting cancer cells, while sparing normal cells, is to target these altered metabolic processes with drug therapies. Elesclomol has been shown to trigger cell death in metastatic melanoma cells, primarily by suppressing oxidative phosphorylation the process that cells use to transform nutrients into energy.
Moschos and his team demonstrated in the lab that metastatic melanoma cells exhibit a higher rate of glycolysis compared to their normal counterpart cells, termed melanocytes, which would be expected due to the Warburg effect.
"But we also found, surprisingly, that these cells have higher rates of oxidative phosphorylation they are producing energy through more than one pathway, which explains a lot about how the drug works," says Dr. Moschos.
He notes that this drug has an interesting history. In a 600-patient phase III clinical trial conducted almost 4 years ago, Elesclomol had clinical benefit in the subgroup of patients with normal serum LDH. However, the FDA discontinued the trial, because the Elesclomol in combination with another chemotherapeutic drug may have negative effects in patients with high serum LDH, which is associated with poorer patient outcomes in metastatic melanoma. At the time, very little was known about Elesclomol's mechanism of action blocking oxidative phosphorylation.
"Our inability to show how Elesclomol worked through measurement of biomarkers was the major driver to conduct this laboratory study," said Moschos, whose team took the clinical trial results back to the lab to try to figure out why the drug worked.
"Our results suggest that targeting oxidative phosphorylation in melanoma is a promising strategy for early metastatic disease, before melanoma cells switch their primary metabolic source to glycolysis, as Otto Warburg showed 60 years ago" said Dr. Moschos.
"Second, we were able to demonstrate a mechanism of resistance to Elesclomol, where long-term exposure to the drug leads to the selection of melanoma cells with high levels of glycolysis. This suggests that a two-pronged strategy aimed at blocking both metabolic pathways may be called for."
The results of the study were published today in the journal Public Library of Science One.

June was supposed to be a month off for Pink Martini, but now the colorful "little orchestra" that could is heading back for a concert in Turkey — where it just came from — before stopping at the Hollywood Bowl to be inducted in its Hall of Fame. Then they are off to Montréal before starting a European tour in July.
"I think we're grateful just to be working," says Thomas Lauderdale. He formed the ensemble in 1994 in Portland, Oregon, as a part-time venture in order to provide "better soundtracks" to fundraisers for causes he believed in. (Originally, he wanted to be the city's mayor.)
About a year later, Lauderdale called Harvard classmate China Forbes and asked her to join Pink Martini as the vocalist. They began writing songs together, delving into their many and varied musical influences, from Latin and pop to classical, from retro-chic cocktail to Japanese, and from Middle Eastern to rock and jazz.
Their eclectic repertoire was enhanced by Forbes' ability to sing in almost any language thrown at her and also contributed to their global popularity.
Pink Martini made its Bowl debut in 2000 on a bill with Debbie Reynolds and B.D. Wong. There were also fireworks that night.
"It was staggering the first time we played there," says Lauderdale. "It's both intimate and gargantuan. There is no place like it in the world."
The band ended that evening with the celebratory classic "Brazil," which the group has performed at the Bowl numerous times over the years, sometimes including Brazilian dancing girls and marching bands, but always doing it in an eye-popping fashion.
Lauderdale, who grew up loving the spectacle of old-fashioned Hollywood musicals, says because of the uniqueness of the Bowl, "we always find ways to be visually huge as well as musically huge in the arrangements of the songs."
Having played so often here, Lauderdale says the still Portland-based Pink Martini considers Los Angeles its second home in the United States. A worldwide phenomenon, they think of Paris as their other, international second home.
"I think our music is appropriate for both the Bowl and Los Angeles because it's global and Hollywood spectacular-ish and it's great to be under the stars," he says.
Recently, Pink Martini recorded an album with the Von Trapps, the grandchildren of the famous Maria and Georg Von Trapp.
Lauderdale says the group is always looking for new influences for its already wide-ranging sound.
"Sometimes we forget how lucky we are," he says. "So it's important to keep things moving. Otherwise our options dwindle and next thing we know we're playing casinos — God forbid."

I cherish all gifts given to me, but here I will talk of two handmade jewelry pieces I got from two friends who are very special to me. They are both amazingly creative jewelry artists. Both make totally unique pieces...that are their very own style. And they both are huge inspirations to me.
Last year....in 2010, Shay made, what in my opinion was her VERY best piece until then. I really loved it, but knew I could not afford it. And guess what Shay did? She sent it to me as my birthday gift. I was speechless. Her work is so different from most, and yet her style is very her. I can recognize her work anywhere! I will not speak more about what she made...let her piece speak for herself. It a lovely silver and Amethyst pendant. She hasn't made jewelry for the longest time due to pain in her hands. But now her hands are getting better, and we will soon see beautiful pieces being created by her once again. And here are her links:
This year I was blessed again with another beautiful gift! This was from Mary. I often just go to her blog when I am feeling sad, low, uninspired, or plain and simple just to drool over eye-candy. She is very dedicated to the wire arts, and is always challenging herself to make something different, better. I love everything she makes, especially the vessels! Various shapes, sizes of vessels made entirely of wire weaving. You have just got to see her work! And I often wondered what should I buy from her, because I always wanted to own one of her pieces. I had never said this to her, but one day she just emailed me and asked me if she could send me a piece she made!! I was once again left speechless! Here is the piece she sent me...one I had looked at for many consecutive days, marvelling at the simplicity, elegance, beauty and craftsmanship...a leaf brooch. And here are her links:
If you aren't already familiar with the work of these two jewelry artists, I will suggest you head off to their blogs as soon as you get the chance! :-)))

The Password Book
I could not keep track of all the user name and password combinations required for different websites. They were recorded here, there, and everywhere. So, I bought a small address book and record them (alphabetical by website) in it.

Cooking for 1
I'm a live-alone widow. When I invite friends and family to dinner, I usually fix more than enough. I have started putting leftovers in several small, single-serving, microwavable containers and freezing them for those days I don't want to cook just for myself. There is no food wasted, and I don't eat out as often.
Plus Size Clothing
I am a plus-sized woman, and I have found that I can buy trendy clothes at a cheap price on eBay. I have to watch out for shipping and handling costs, so I buy more than one item from the same person if I can, and I ask them to combine shipping. Most people are more than happy to do so.
Eliminating Laundry Odors
To combat laundry odors, I put white vinegar in the rinse water. I have one of those balls for fabric softener, and it opens automatically during the rinse cycle. I just fill it half full with vinegar. It works really great on teenage boy's socks.

Longer Lasting Roofs
At half the predicted life of our roof, we get it inspected and do some touch up work. This tends to extend the life of our roof by five to six years, which is an increase of 25%. It's a huge savings in the long run, and the touch ups are usually only a few hundred dollars. Keep tabs on the shape of your roof and get it done before it fails.
Easy Homemade Applesauce
I love homemade applesauce, but I don't have the patience to make it. I discovered an extremely easy method. First, I cut a red apple into chunks (removing seeds and peel) and then I put the chunks into a blender along with some orange juice. After blending for a minute or so, I have perfect applesauce for one!

Less Time in the Grocery Store
For grocery shopping, I make my normal grocery list categorized by the grocery store aisles. Then I go through my coupons and pull out those that I need for that trip. I put a circled "C" next to each item with a coupon, and then I list each coupon's details on the back of my grocery list in alphabetical order. Then when I shop, I don't have to pull out each coupon to see the details. Instead, I just have to look on the back of the grocery list. This really speeds up grocery shopping!

Changing the Holidays
The holidays were just getting too expensive and the stores too crowded, so we decided to try something radical. We invented a new holiday. Instead of exchanging gifts on Christmas Day, we now exchange them on New Years Day. Yes, we still do the full Christmas dinner and the tree but wait for the gift giving until after the holiday rush.
We save a bundle, and the kids get exactly what they want for at least half the price. We never have to worry about the cool toys being sold out because stores often get a new shipment right after Christmas when no one else wants them!
What Do You Need?
This seems so basic, but often we forget to do it. Anytime you have a need, simply let folks know. Get the word out to your friends, family, neighbors, classmates, coworkers, the people at your church, etc. Someone may be able to solve your problem for you at no cost to you.
For instance, my 1980s-era microwave oven just went out. I mentioned this to my coworkers. The gal who sits besides me just moved into an apartment with a built-in microwave, and she offered to give me her old one!
Here's another example. Last summer, this same coworker was moving. Her old apartment lease ended a month before her new place was ready. She stayed with friends for four weeks, but had nowhere to keep her furniture. Renting a storage unit would have been expensive. She told us about it, so I let her use the empty side of my two-car garage. Problem solved! It didn't cost either of us any money.
If either of us had kept quiet about our need, the other one wouldn't have known about it, and therefore wouldn't have helped. Both of us got what we needed for free. As an added bonus, we have a sense of community and a stronger friendship because we cooperated in solving each other's problem. The bottom line is that people can often help you, but only if you tell them what you need.

Anyone has experience in using estrogen receptor (ER) fusion protein? - (May/31/2013 )
Hi, guys. These days I need to study a protein funtion in nucleus. So I constructed vector expressed estrogen receptor (ER) and estrogen receptor (ER) fusion protein. Then I transfected 293T cell with these vector to detect ER and ER fusion protein expression by western blot and immunofluorescence. The ER fusion protein expression can be detected when cell did not treat with 4-OHT and can be induced to translocate to nucleus by treating with 4-Hydroxytamoxifen (4-OHT). However, the ER (did not fuse with others protein) expression can not be detected when cell did not treat with 4-OHT. Is this normal? Please help!!!
, oh, somebody help me!!!

* First of all, I love you CSS3 Menu. I think it's beautiful! I purchased the CSS3 Menu "business edition" yesterday, and I'm very happy how easy it is to use. Found this to be one of the fastest ways to get a menu on the web. Thanks.
* Firstly - My gratitude for a menu wizard that is lightweight, incorporates a variety of new CSS properties, is easily customizable but comes with a more than sufficient collection of examples and finally - degrades in MSIE (my IE6.0 displays the menus nicely). Thanks again - I have already recommended you to a friend.
* Great product by the way and saved me loads of time. I really like your Css3 Menu program! Very nice.

Study tips for Summit County students during finals week
With the holiday season comes another season, one which students around the nation view with various mixtures of nervousness and dread – finals. However, with the right study habits, finals can be a time of achievement rather than one of stress.
Sharon Loeb, a study expert at McGraw-Hill Education, recently released her top 5 study tips for a successful finals week.
It should come as no surprise that food is one of the most important elements in maintaining our overall physical well-being, including energy levels and brain function. Though the stress of studying may prompt students to reach for unhealthy, sleep-inducing comfort foods like pizza and fried chicken, research shows that there are many delicious food and beverages that can actually improve the way we think and work. Dark chocolate, for example, is chock-full of antioxidant properties and contains natural stimulants that produce endorphins while enhancing focus and concentration. Berries of all kind – also rich in antioxidants – are known to improve memory and motor coordination, as are the properties found in coffee. Students should consider the benefits of these "power foods" before settling for unhealthier indulgences to get them through finals.
Add exercise to your study routine. Numerous studies have demonstrated the positive correlation between exercise and improved brain function. Many of us, however, neglect our exercise routines during periods of intense studying and stress. That's a big mistake because exercise helps push more oxygen and glucose (sugar) to your brain which are basically the high-octane fuel your brain needs to perform its best. Just make sure you pick the right type of exercise – exercise that gets your heart pumping but doesn't overly tax your muscles (i.e., aerobic vs. anaerobic) is best because your brain doesn't have to share as much fuel with other muscles. So, getting out there walking or lightly jogging is better for your brain function than sprinting or lifting weights.
According to an associate psychology professor at Howard University, making personal connections to course material can help students retain and recall information. Also known as "mnemonic devices," students who develop acronyms, rhymes, visuals or other shortcuts while studying, are actually helping their brain better file and encode relevant information. Arguably, mnemonic devices may take a bit more time and creativity; however, students who use more innovative study methods oftentimes outperform their peers who opt for more of a conventional study path.
Several studies, including one by researchers at Cardiff University in Wales, find that chewing gum while studying actually increases alertness, improves productivity and actually lowers stress levels. In many instances, students who chew gum display reduced anxiety and quicker reaction times. This is because the act of chewing actually causes a temporary increase in arousal, which leads to increases in heart rate, blood pressure and blood flow. Whether it's Extra, Trident or Bubblicious you prefer, students should consider a trip to their local local market before hunkering down to study.
Technology can be your greatest ally or your biggest enemy when it comes to studying for finals. Students should consider curbing their use of mobile devices, tablets and computers to access social media platforms (Facebook, Twitter) that may be disruptive to the studying process, but should leverage these same technologies to access study tools that make the process much easier, more engaging and more effective.

Utah cabin burglar recounts evading manhunt for years
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Troy James Knapp was dodging authorities, again.
The fugitive with a fondness for whiskey and a dislike of living near people had been wanted for a string of break-ins for years at cabins in Utah's mountains. With each near miss, each wanted poster and each threatening note left behind for law enforcement, the legend of him only grew.
Knapp survived by holing up inside the cabins, sleeping in the owners' beds, eating their food and listening to their AM radio for updates on the manhunt. And then, authorities say, he would take off, stealing items such as guns and high-end camping equipment and vanishing into the woods where he lived off dandelions and wild game.
Over Easter weekend, authorities were on his trail, again.
By Tuesday, his life on the lam came to an end, done in by an educated guess by searchers who had grown to know his tendencies, the tracks he left with his snowshoes and the sounds of him chopping wood outside a cabin near a mountain reservoir.
A team of 14 officers approached him on snowshoes — the only way to quietly sneak up on him — and called in reinforcements to help corner the bearded and camouflage-clad fugitive, a trim 45-year-old standing 5-foot-8.
Now in police custody, Knapp is telling authorities how he managed to evade them for so long across a mountainous region stretching for 180 miles. "He really has a fascinating story to tell, and right now he's willing to tell it," Sanpete County Sheriff Brian Nielson said.
Knapp, born in Saginaw, Mich., got into trouble with the law early. As a teenager, he was convicted of breaking and entering, passing bad checks and unlawful flight from authorities, according to court records. His most serious offense, an arrest for felony assault in Michigan, was reduced in 1994 to a charge of malicious destruction of property after he agreed to plead guilty.
"He says, 'I don't hate people. I just don't like living with them,'" Sevier County Sheriff Nathan Sheriff Curtis said.
With no known occupation, Knapp drifted across the country and ended up in prison in California for burglary. He fell off the radar in 2004 when he "went on the run" while on parole, said Bobby Haase, a spokesman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
By 2007, Utah authorities began investigating a string of cabin burglaries they believed were tied to one person. It wasn't until early 2012 that they identified Knapp as the suspect from cabin surveillance photos and fingerprints lifted from one cabin. In one photo, he was wearing camouflage, a rifle was slung over his shoulder and he had purple-colored aluminum snowshoes on his feet. Knapp appears to have aged considerably from a 2001 California mug shot.
Tracy Glover, chief deputy sheriff in Kane County, said it was fairly easy to identify Knapp's cabin habits. Knapp would drink any coffee and alcohol he could find, authorities say. Unlike typical burglars, he never took large or expensive appliances such as TVs or stereos. He took only what he could carry, mostly camping gear and weapons he stashed in abundance in the woods. He returned to burglarize cabins more than once, even swapping one stolen rifle for another, officials said.
A few years ago, investigators found an abandoned camp they linked to Knapp. It had a doomsday supply of dehydrated foods, radios, batteries, high-end camping gear, 19 guns and a copy of Jon Krakauer's "Into the Wild," a book about a young man who died after wandering into the Alaskan wilderness to live alone off the land.
It was in Kane County, near Zion National Park, where authorities lifted Knapp's fingerprints from items in a cabin. The prints matched sets in criminal databases, giving law enforcement confidence that he was their guy.
Knapp is believed to have left that area in early 2012. He started to make his way north from Kane into Sevier, Sanpete and Emery counties, where he was occasionally spotted by hunters. Knapp has told detectives he was feeling stressed trying to hide from hunters last fall, said Brian Nielson, the sheriff in Sanpete County.
Court records from multiple Utah counties indicate Knapp regularly spent several days in snowbound cabins, exhausting the food and firewood before moving on. Authorities say the signature clue of his presence was an empty bottle of whiskey. In summer, he retreated to makeshift camps deep in the backcountry.
He sometimes tidied up a cabin, but other times left it a mess or riddled with bullets, authorities say. He was known to deface religious icons. He scrawled notes for cabin owners, alternatively thanking them or demanding they "get off my mountain." He also warned sheriffs he was "gonna put you in the ground!"
Even authorities have found something to admire in Knapp's knack for survival and evasion. He stepped on saplings to avoid leaving discernible boot tracks and changed stolen footwear often to confuse searchers. He walked alongside trails instead of on them and kept mostly to backcountry.
He used some of those tactics in his final flight, which started more than a dozen miles away from his capture site. At Joe's Valley in the Manti-LaSal National Forest, deputies found boot prints around two burglarized cabins. The tracks led in no apparent direction, Emery County sheriff's Cpt. Jeff Thomas said.
Deputies copied his silent mode of travel on snowshoes over three days and nights as they tried to track Knapp across rugged terrain, first losing his size-10 shoe prints, then regaining his tracks on snowshoe as he ventured higher on the 10,000-foot Wasatch Plateau.
"They stayed quiet and built no fires — and they were very cold," Thomas said.
To get this far, deputies had to think like Knapp. He moved often and swiftly across the backcountry, covering 20 miles in a day "and that was nothing for him," Curtis said.
They had to imagine where Knapp might have taken off. They guessed it was a collection of cabins a dozen miles away at a high-altitude reservoir. They believe Knapp had visited there before. Along the way, they picked up his snowshoe tracks.
With 13 cabins at the reservoir, "we didn't know exactly where he was," U.S. Forest Service officer Scott Watson said. "We couldn't just go knocking on doors."
By 10 a.m. Tuesday, 40 officers took positions around the 9,000-foot reservoir. Knapp fired off a handful of shots at a helicopter that flushed him out of a cabin. He tried to escape into the woods, but ran into three armed officers. He laid down his rifle and surrendered.
The last three nights Knapp spent as a fugitive were in a framed log cabin with a commanding view of forest roads leading to Ferron Reservoir. Owner Eugene Bartholomew said "it was kind of messed up" and "stunk like crazy." It wasn't his only discovery. On television news, Bartholomew took his first look at Knapp.
"That son-of-a-bitch has got my coat on," he said.

We are pretty sure that most of you would agree that Jeff Van Gundy is an unlikely excellent NBA analyst. We're sure he would have never imagined that's the way his career would go. He's just coachy enough to be a TV preener.
In a way, we kind of hope Van Gundy never goes back into coaching; we can see this accidental career being his ultimate true calling. Can't you kind of see him as a Dr. Jack Ramsey in 30 years?
Plus, you know, he might not just grab onto his players' legs anymore. Though that could be a downside.
So: Do you like the Jeff Van Gundy? Do you not like the Jeff Van Gundy? Sweep the leg, JVG.

So, you are considering consulting with an interior designer or decorator to assist with an upcoming project. How do you select one designer over another? And what should you expect at the first meeting? Here are some things to keep in mind.
- Decide on the scope of the project – What is it that you are really looking to get done? Are you remodeling the entire kitchen or just need help select colors for the kitchen walls? Are you in love with a chair or piece of furniture but not sure how to make it fit in the room? Ensure you KNOW THE ANSWERS to these questions definitively before you start your search. The very first question an interior designer or decorator will ask is -What is the project? The scope of the project will determine the type of help you will need – from a design build firm to an interior re-designer or somewhere in-between.
- Talk to local friends about experience with a similar project -Now that you are confident about the scope of project, ask friends and family about their experience in the same arena. If your friend started out with a simple color consultation that blew up into a major home remodel, you can talk to he/she to learn how it happened. And how to avoid the same situation from happening to you.
- Gather pictures and ideas of rooms that appeal to you -When you say 'modern', it can mean totally different things to an architect, designer and/or decorator. Show pictures instead! Collect pictures of rooms and ideas from magazines, web pages, pictures of friends homes, books and prepare them to show the designers in your first meeting. Additionally, if you like the décor of a local store, take pictures for yourself and ask the salespeople which designers shop there frequently. You may learn of additional designers to consider as well.
Now – you are prepared to meet with an interior decorator or designer and have narrowed down the list of possible companies. What should you expect next? As you contact and meet designers, keep the following things in mind.
- Expect a nominal initial consultation fee – As the old adage goes – time is money! Expect an experienced and preferred designer to charge for the initial visit. An hourly fee or set fee for the first meeting is common and some designers may apply it to the first order. Hint: Savvy interior designers use this as a gauge for new clients. If a prospect grumbles or complains about the initial consultation fee, the designer may assume the prospect will have trouble paying subsequent fees and not interested in taking the prospect on as a client.
- Expect to answer lots of questions about your taste and style – Since this is the first time that the designer is meeting you, he/she will do what they can to learn about your style. He/She will take notice of the current state of your home, your furniture choices (if those are evident) and how you and your family currently live in your space. If you have any big dislikes or likes, now is the time to express those – i.e. – no roosters in the kitchen décor or a desire for a water element in your bedroom. And don't forget to show the pictures that you collected, as discussed earlier!
- Ensure important decision makers are available – Even if your spouse/significant other will not be involved with the process, if he/she will live in the space, then include her/him in the initial meeting. Especially if the room is shared, like the kitchen or master bathroom. Don't set up this meeting during the day when the spouse/significant other is not available. This can easily become a cause for contention once the project gets underway.
- Expect to discuss budget – This can be a touchy subject but not talking about it won't make it go away! Be sure to be clear about what your budget limitations are and ask the designer/decorator if your budget expectations match the reality of the project. And if the designers don't mention budget, be sure to bring it up – you deserve to get a sense of things before any plans get started.
- Know what you like but be open to explore new things – The saavy designer won't design an entire room at the first meeting, but he/she may suggest a few things to gauge your reactions to different ideas. If you find yourself reacting negatively to the suggestions, keep looking! Soon you find a designer/decorator who speaks your language…but keep yourself open to learn a few new words in that language! (I hope that analogy makes sense). That is what you are paying a designer to do – bring new and fresh ideas to your space!
We hope the above advice is useful as you consider hiring a design professional for your next project. The list was developed from our own experiences and interactions with clients before, during and after home projects.

40/60 Call to Action Featured
The latest events in the 1967 occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip have led many to consider a possible end of the Palestinian political system shaped by the Oslo Accords, and they have caused despair at the West's approach to human rights and democratic principles in the Middle East (see: "The End of National Unity of the Palestinian Elites...").
Events in the Nahr el-Bared refugee camp in Lebanon have also demonstrated, once again, the vulnerability of Palestinian refugees and the complexity of the political scene in Lebanon (see: "The Ongoing Nakba: Sickness and Health Among Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon", "Lebanon: A Proxy Way in Nahr el-Bared Refugee Camp?" and "Commemorating Palestine in Lebanon"). At the same time, the persecution suffered by Palestinian refugees and the Iraqi population in Iraq is reaching unprecedented levels and requires immediate protection; a protection that is, unfortunately, not forthcoming (see: "Palestinian Refugees in Iraq: The Lost Protection").
Amidst 40 years of Israeli occupation and colonization of the West Bank and Gaza Strip and the worsening political, humanitarian and human rights situation in the region, Palestinians, however, remain steadfast. In May, Palestinians commemorated the 59th anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba of 1948 while becoming victims of "a new Nakba", i.e. Palestinian inter-factional armed conflictintheoccupiedGazaStripandWestBank.TheNakbaofalmost60years ago has become a powerful symbol of what continues to happen to Palestinians until today. It symbolizes the Palestinian quest for justice, redress, and the right of return (see: "The Power of Memory").
In this year's 59th commemoration of the Nakba, Badil organized the the first Al-Awda Award.Popluar marches, rallies and conferences were held in Israel, the occupied Palestinian territories, Europe and North America in memory of past displacement and with the demand for future return. The 40/60 Call to Action is an appeal from displaced Palestinians to global civil society to address the root causes of 60 years of conflict between Israel and the Palestinian people and join the quest for new principled vision and struggle (see: "BADIL's 40/60 Call to Action"). The civil society Campaign for Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) against Israel, which is being joined by an increasing number of persons, unions and organizations, is also part of this strategic effort to pressure Israel and states to respect the rights of Palestinians under international law (see: BDS Update).

Elephant's Ear Plant Care
Listen up: Make room in your summer garden for the dazzling tropical beauty of elephant's ears.
Elephant's ears offer some of the boldest foliage you could ever want in a garden. Huge, heart-shaped leaves come in black, purple, emerald green, chartreuse, yellow, or a mix of colors. The mammoth leaves can be more than 3 feet long on plants that can grow higher than 6 feet tall. Even the stems deliver impressive colors. New breeding has resulted in hybrids that offer a wealth of choices in a range of colors, sizes, and habits. Some of the best new ones are from the Royal Hawaiian series with selections such as 'Hawaiian Punch,' 'Blue Hawaii,' 'Kona Coffee,' 'White lava,' and 'Pineapple Princess.'
Elephant's ears grow from tubers. Some clump, while others spread on runners along the ground. If you are worried about elephant's ears going rogue in your yard, choose clumpers instead of runners, or grow runners in pots. Either way, they all love water, sunshine, and fertilizer. Plant tubers or transplant container-grown plants into soil amended with organic matter such as chopped leaves, peat, or composted manure. It does not have to be well drained. These plants have big appetites, so feed regularly with Dynamite Organic All-Purpose (10-2-8) or Espoma Plant-tone (5-3-3).
Most elephant's ears are perennials and will come back every summer in the Lower, Coastal, and Tropical South. Some are perennials in the lower part of the Middle South. They like the soil to be relatively dry in winter. If gardening any farther north than that, lift tubers before the first frost and store them in a cool, dry place over the winter months.
Create a Focal Point
Grow elephant's ears en masse for a big show of texture and color, or use one as a specimen for a striking accent. They thrive in big pots and will work in water gardens if placed in submerged containers. Elephant's ears mix great with each other and also combine well with the flashy foliage of other tropicals such as bananas, cannas, and crinums. For a colorful summer combo, try this container recipe in a big pot: Use chocolate leaves of 'Puckered Up' elephant's ear as the thriller, the pink flowers of 'Fanfare Orchid' impatiens as the filler, and the chartreuse foliage of 'Margarita' sweet potato vine as a spiller.
Where to Buy: Visit your local nursery for a selection of elephant's ears to transplant into your garden. You can also check out Tony Avent's Plant Delights Nursery (plantdelights.com) in Raleigh, North Carolina, for a big assortment of elephant's ears. Or click on these sites: justfruitsandexotics.com, floridahillnursery.com, and logees.com.

After using its customized sports nutrition products for 18 months and seeing his Ironman Triathlon time fall below 11 hours for the first time, Darcy Haggith decided to bring Infinit Nutrition's product to a wider Canadian audience.
U.S.-based Infinit Nutrition seeks wider market in Canada
After using its customized sports nutrition products for 18 months and seeing his Ironman Triathlon time fall below 11 hours for the first time, Darcy Haggith decided to bring Infinit Nutrition's product to a wider Canadian audience.
Haggith, who has 22 years experience in the pharmaceutical industry, bought the rights to use U.S.-based Nutrition's name for $10,000 in 2006 and now operates a independent stand-alone version of Infinit, currently in the process of moving into larger quarters on Walker Road from a small operation in Amherstburg.
"It was after my fourth or fifth Ironman and I was looking for something to help bring my Ironman times down," said Haggith, now Infinit Nutrition Canada's chief executive officer. "I'd heard about how Infinit provides customized sports nutrition drinks for high-performance athletes and I thought it was too good to be true.
"But I went through the online process, filled out a customized profile which takes into account weight, gender, sweat profiles and other custom information," said Haggith. "I started using the product soon after and because it's taken in a liquid form, it's far easier to absorb into the body than solids and I found it was extremely effective."
After a conversation with Infinit founder Michael Folan in Lake Placid in 2006, Haggith decided to launch Infinit Canada after hearing Folan explain he was having difficulty getting his product into Canada.
"I guess getting white powder across the border can be tricky," said Haggith smiling.
Haggith has had a number of partners since launching Infinit Canada but now works with John Roketenetz, a Chicago-based marketing consultant who handles all of the company's marketing and web-based campaigns.
Haggith spent more than two decades in the pharmaceutical industry with Pfizer Canada and Accucaps Inc. He recently left Accucaps as site director of its local operations to devote his fulltime efforts to Infinit.
"I loved working at Accucaps and I loved the people but I was having a difficult time juggling the demands of family, Accucaps and Infinit," said Haggith. "I decided it was time to devote my full-time energies to Infinit."
Haggigth and his wife Brenda, a school teacher, have a 19-year-old son Mathew.
Infinit is is the process of moving from a small manufacturing and packaging plant in Amhersburg to larger quarters on Walker Road. The company currently has two full-time employees and three part-time.
"We'll have about three times the manufacturing space in addition to more room for packaging and shipping our products," said Haggith.
Inifint produces a variety of powdered nutritional products including Ice, Ride, Raw, Jet Fuel, Recovery, Repair and Run, all made from natural raw materials such as sucrose, dextrose, maltodextrin, electrolytes and amino acids. Flavours include lemon-lime, orange, fruit punch, grape and cherry.
The company supplies products to high-performance athletes aligned with such organizations as Rowing Canada, Swimming Canada, Rugby Canada, Cycling Canada and Canada's women's basketball team. It also has an endorsement agreement with Dougie and Freddie Hamilton, a pair of professional hockey players, who lend their images to Infinit in exchange for a share of royalties.
Infinit has also launched a variety of retail products which are available online and locally at Cycle Culture and PowerTech Hockey at the Windsor Family Credit Union Centre.
Haggith's work with Ironman triathletes has also led to a relationship with the Canadian Sports Institute, a network of high-performance sports centres across Canada, through performance dietitian Susan Boegman.
"Athletes have an understandable fear of endorsing or inadvertently using illegal performance-enhancing products so we're also aligned with Informed Choice, an organization which conducts inspections, testing and audits of our processes and products to ensure they are completely natural," said Haggith.
Infinit's custom-formulated products cost between $50 and $60 for about 25 servings per batch when mixed with water.

En la práctica del respeto a ambos "tipos" de derechos humanos: aquellos que debe garantizar el gobierno (esencialmente, el acceso universal a los servicios de educación y salud, como a otras prestaciones sociales) y los que debe propiciar ejerza libremente cada ciudadano (la libertad real y abierta de opinión, de afiliación política, religiosa, civil, entre otros del estilo), está probablemente el éxito más equilibrado. ¿Debe evaluarse a la totalidad de los países bajo el mismo prisma? Parece ser algo sensato...
only in a pathetic assemblage like the UN: a debate between "rights" provided by government and rights endowed to us by our Creator...
Yes, the Castro regime must be trembling at the prospect of a rigorous review of its record by a "human rights council" dominated by the likes of Zimbabwe and Myanmar. Evildoers of the world: Be afraid, be *very* afraid!
Actually Zimbabwe and Myanmar are not on the Human Rights Council. Cuba is. Perhaps folks should reflect on why the region voted Cuba in.
Anon 1:59, perhaps you can tell us how "rights endowned by the creator" are enforced here on earth, without governments providing for them? And I am pretty sure Jesus would consider things like food, water, health, education and housing basic human rights.
inalienable rights like to life and liberty are not "provided" by anyone but God; the role of government is to protect them. Housing, food, etc. completely distort and confuse the issue -- which is why criminal regimes like Cuba's insist on promoting them as such.
"Perhaps folks should reflect on why the region voted Cuba in. "
Because the United Nations is perhaps one of the most corrupt world bodies there is. Take it from someone who walked those hallowed halls for two years. I saw much that I will never forget.
Perhaps you are of the belief that a nation with human rights violations as egregious as those of Cuba deserves a seat on the council? That is absolutely incredible to say the least. We are a world of hypocrites, liars and narcissists. In short, we are a shameful race and the Cuban dictatorship's presence on that council is proof positive of that sentiment's strength.
Bringing god in debate illustrates how far fringe this right wing crowd has gotten.
If it were up to the Palins in this usa, we would be like Taliban.
Please , get an education.
