Love Letter to Vanilla (and Aztec Iced Chocolate)
Vanilla holds a place of honor in our house. Fine extract is coveted, and beans are leached of every last bit of flavor. Its use is not limited to baking, although it is perhaps most appreciated there.
Vanilla comes from a South American perennial climbing orchid (vanilla planifolia). Treasured for centuries, vanilla was used by the Aztecs to flavor their xocolatl (bitter water). When the Spanish brought the beans back to Europe, it became all the rage.
The French tried unsuccessfully to propagate vanilla on the Islands of Bourbon (now Reunion) and Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. As it turns out, the orchid had been naturally pollinated by bees and hummingbirds only found in Mexico. To make matters more difficult, the orchids themselves open for only a short time. But where there's a will, there's a way. Vanilla orchids grown outside of Mexico are now hand-pollinated, which, combined with their complicated processing procedure, guarantees their high price.
Its white flowers are followed by long, green pods which are picked before they ripen. They have little flavor or aroma until they are cured and fermented. Vanillin is the flavor compound that we love, and on fine beans it can be seen on the surface as white dust.
You can find three vanilla beans on the market. Madagascar beans are used mainly for extract production. Tahitian beans have a nice aroma but less flavor and are used mainly for perfumes. Mexican beans are fat and fragrant. The extract from Mexico may sometimes contain coumarin, a substance from the tonka bean that is banned in the United States.
Look for beans that are thick and tough, but pliable. To use vanilla beans, pound them gently before splitting them lengthwise to crush the millions of inner mini-seeds and activate as much oil as possible. Once scraped, spent pods can be stored in sugar or steeped in rum to harness as much of the oil as possible.
Most people use vanilla in its extract form. It's made by macerating the vanilla beans in alcohol. Beware of Mexican vanilla extract, as it is often made with banned tonka beans.
Vanilla paste, which is concentrated extract with added seeds, has become popular in recent years. There's also vanilla powder, which is dried, ground pods. Imitation vanilla is much weaker than the real thing. You can make vanilla extract at home by storing beans and spent pods in rum. Or store them in granulated sugar to absorb every bit of oil and then use the sugar in recipes for a vanilla essence.
This traditional recipe is usually served hot, but I love it in the summer cooled and poured over ice.
6 dried pasilla chile pods
4 cups boiling water
1 qt. half-and-half
2 cinnamon sticks, crushed
1 lb. bittersweet chocolate, chopped fine
3 vanilla beans, split and scraped
- Preheat the oven to 400˚F.
- Spread chile pods on a baking sheet and toast for 5 minutes or until soft. Cool, remove stems, and seeds (be careful of the capsicum). Cover chile pods with boiling water and steep for 30 minutes.
- In a large saucepan combine half-and-half and cinnamon sticks. Simmer over medium heat for 5 minutes and remove from heat. Add chocolate and vanilla beans, and stir to melt.
- Transfer soaked chiles to a blender. Blend until smooth, adding a small amount of chocolate mixture slowly as needed. Combine chile paste with remaining chocolate mixture, stir, and strain. Cool to room temperature, then pour over ice to serve.

Jude Law Biography
Who Is Jude Law?
Jude Law was born December 29, 1972, in Lewisham, England. While his first several U.S. films were disappointing, he earned an Academy Award nomination for his role in The Talented Mr. Ripley with Matt Damon in 1999. Law received another Oscar nod in 2004 for his work in Cold Mountain with Nicole Kidman. He also appeared in the Sherlock Holmes films with Robert Downey Jr. as well as Anna Karenina (2012) with Keira Knightley. In 2016, the actor took on the lead role of the HBO series The Young Pope.
Early Career
Future actor Jude Law was born on December 29, 1972, in Lewisham, London, England. Raised in South London by his parents, who were both schoolteachers, Law joined the National Youth Music Theatre at age 13, where he acted in such productions as Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat. He left school at age 16 after winning a part as a teenage runaway on the British television soap opera Families. Over the next several years, Law won parts on stage, in a touring production of Pygmalion and The Fastest Clock in the Universe in London (both 1992), and on TV in both Britain and the U.S. (a 1990 episode of Sherlock Holmes during the PBS series Mystery!). In 1994, Law made his film debut, in the poorly received British film Shopping; the film also featured Law's future wife, Sadie Frost, an actress best known for her appearance in Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992).
The classically handsome Law initially found a greater measure of success on stage than on screen. He starred in the London production of Les Parents Terribles in 1995, and became the only member of the cast who was invited to reprise his role in the hit Broadway version of the play, Indiscretions. Law earned a Tony Award nomination for Featured Actor for his starring role complete with a much-talked-about nude scene opposite Kathleen Turner, as a son involved in an incestuous relationship with his mother.
Disappointing Film Debut
By contrast, his first several U.S. films met with a less than warm reception, both critically and commercially. In 1997, he had important supporting roles in three major American films: in the futuristic thriller Gattaca, co-starring Ethan Hawke and Uma Thurman, he played a genetically-perfect man crippled in an accident; in both Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil, directed by Clint Eastwood and co-starring Kevin Spacey and John Cusack, and Wilde, he played dangerously tempting objects of homosexual desire. Though all three films did mediocre business, Law received praise for his magnetic screen presence and, inevitably, his sultry good looks. Several more disappointments followed, including the little-seen I Love You, I Love You Not (1997), co-starring Claire Danes, Music From Another Room (1998), and The Wisdom of Crocodiles (1998, released in the U.S. in 2000).
Oscar Nod for 'Mr. Ripley'
In 1999, Law's production company, Natural Nylon, which he co-founded with Frost and friends and fellow actors Jonny Lee Miller, Ewan McGregor, and Sean Pertwee released its first feature, the unabashedly bizarre eXistenZ, co-starring Law and Jennifer Jason Leigh. Later that year, Law won raves and an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Dickie Greenleaf, the carefree playboy at the center of a chilling tale of murderous desire in The Talented Mr. Ripley, co-starring Matt Damon, Gwyneth Paltrow and Cate Blanchett.
In addition to his work in film, Law continued his work on stage, appearing in the London production of 'Tis Pity She's a Whore in 1999. In 2001, he starred with Ed Harris and Joseph Fiennes in Enemy at the Gates, a drama set during World War II. That summer, Law played a mechanical love god named "Gigolo Joe" in Steven Spielberg's long-awaited science-fiction opus A.I.: Artificial Intelligence, costarring Haley Joel Osment. In 2004, the actor received an Academy Award nomination for his performance in Cold Mountain opposite Nicole Kidman. Law also starred in a remake of the romantic comedy Alfie that same year, playing the title role—a part that helped boost Michael Caine's career in the 1960s. Other films during this time include The Aviator (2004) and 2006's All The Kings Men, Breaking and Entering, and The Holiday.
Watson in 'Sherlock Holmes'
In 2009, Law played another legendary character in Sherlock Holmes. He took on the part of Dr. John Watson, the faithful sidekick to the world's greatest detective (Robert Downey Jr.). The film, directed by Guy Ritchie, proved to be a smash success. The actors teamed up again for the 2011 sequel Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. The following year, Law took on another literary role in Anna Karenina. He co-starred as Alexei Karenin, the cuckolded husband of the title character (played by Keira Knightley), in this latest adaptation of the Leo Tolstoy work. Law also lent his voice to the animated film Rise of the Guardians (2012).
Law signed on to play a safe-cracker newly sprung from prison in Dom Hemingway and landed a part in the next Wes Anderson film The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) with Johnny Depp and Owen Wilson. The following year he was featured in the hit espionage spoof Spy, starring Melissa McCarthy. In 2016, Law starred as writer Thomas Wolfe in Genius, a bio pic about famous book editor Max Perkins, played by Colin Firth.
Also in 2016, Law began starring in the HBO series The Young Pope. The show earned Emmy consideration the following year, as well as a Golden Globe nomination for its lead actor.
Personal Life
Law and Frost were married in 1997 and have three children: son Rafferty (b. 1996), daughter Iris (b. 2000), and son Rudy (b. 2002). In 2003, Frost filed for divorce. Law was later engaged to actress Sienna Miller, who co-starred with him in Alfie. The couple spit in 2006 after Law admitted to having an affair with his children's nanny.
Law has a child with model Samantha Burke from a brief relationship in 2008. Their daughter Sophia was born in 2009.
In October 2014, Law confirmed that he and his former girlfriend Catherine Harding a.k.a Cat Cavelli, were expecting a child together. They welcomed a daughter in March 2015.

How do you remake what many consider to be the greatest political thriller ever made? Simple, you cleverly emulate rather than try to surpass. Much like say last year's "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", this is a film which whilst not in the league of its originator, nevertheless stands strongly on its own merits. Its a smart, slickly updated and superbly executed reinvention of what is simply a great story that's just as relevant today as the day it was written, whilst it pays homage and includes nice touches to honour the Frankenheimer original classic.
That 1962 flick even today retains an awesome power. Watching it only a year ago for the first time I was in awe of the film. Admittedly some of the Korean brainwashing scenes and Frank Sinatra's over the top bits feel a little awkward, but the sheer power of other scenes more than make up for the tiny smudges and imperfections that 40 years of imitators have dulled the surface with. From the cliffhanger finale and cleverly unfolding mystery to such scenes as Angela Lansbury's final and unforgettable five minute monologue which gives me chills every time, it truly is a cinematic classic.
The remake does have a few problems which stop it from rising to the level of excellent (let alone classic), but it's well above average for the genre and Demme's best work since "The Silence of the Lambs". The director films things with a sure hand and interesting visual flourish, helped along by a solid script which plans its reveals carefully and smartly spreads them out. While some scenes and elements do harken heavily back to the original, it makes some refreshing new changes to the way events unfold to give everything a more visceral and faster paced feel that modern audiences require.
Performances are excellent all round with Washington never faltering one bit as he tries to uncover the truth. Streep deliciously indulges in her role as Senator Shaw, one which at times could be dangerously over the top but the actress grounds it with a solid level of conviction and drive. Schreiber, Wright, Voight all turn in great supporting work as well and interactions between the two male leads are quiet yet powerful. The cinematography, design and music all effectively add to the atmosphere.
Like the original, the film takes a while to really get moving and the early Iraqi scenes aren't particularly interesting. Yet the suspense and tension is well-laid out even though much of the story everyone is already familiar with. The strong ending is capped off by an unusual and unsatisfying coda, whilst some of the nightmare brainwashing sequences look impressive but aren't ever fully explored (who were those people with the facial stripes?). Still it's minor flaws in what is otherwise one of the few remakes which not just works but stands proudly on its own.

When Did Your County's Jobs Disappear?
An interactive map of vanishing employment across the country, updated with the latest figures.
An interactive map of vanishing employment across the country, updated with the latest figures.
By Chris Wilson
Developing this map was a leap of faith. While the Bureau of Labor Statistics is a treasure trove of economic and employment data, the files are far too granular to eyeball for a sense of the big picture. The county-by-county employment data for this map came as a 77MB file that was far too large to stick into Excel and sort by year or location. So it wasn't until three-quarters of the way through the development of this map that I first got a real look at the data.
The story here speaks for itself; in the past year, virtually every part of America has seen a catastrophic decline in employment. While it's a bit morbid to marvel over, it is interesting to watch the red circles cascade through the country, striking first in areas like Michigan and spreading from there. Normally, I think that a good editorial multimedia project should be accompanied by a short narrative that guides readers through the data to get them started. In this case, however, the storyline was all too apparent without my gilded prose.
Explore this interactive map showing the location of suspected slave labor camps which hold an estimated 200,000 prisoners. Washington Post reporters, cartographers and graphic designers worked together to provide this informative look inside a hidden part of North Korea.
Using old-fashioned reporting techniques combined with high-tech databases and satellite photos, Washington Post reporter Blaine Harden provide a different look inside North Korean labor camps. Hardin work with other Post journalist, designers and developers to build this flash feature after he obtained the satellite photos and confirmed the exact locations with his sources. The feature is a Flash AS3 interactive to display the images and the data points. You can also download the Google Maps XML.
Slate's technology columnist Farhad Manjoo presents his Killer Apps for the iPhone. Watch his videos here in Fluid, the new 3-D navigation environment from The Washington Post. Click the "More on this project" link below information about the technology.
This interactive video presentation uses three new technologies developed by the Product Development team from The Washington Post. It will be used for special projects and regular video shows like the upcoming onBeing.
Fluid: A 3-D media navigation tool that allows for hierarchies and multiple types of dusplays. Built on Flash Actionscript 3 and using Papervision 3D, Fluid can display numerous videos in 3D space allowing users to navigate through them without scrolling.
Web-Com: A threaded and user-moderated comment system that provides a visual representation of the most valuable comments and conversations among users. The comments are cataloged in a database and displayed via Flash. The most liked comments become larger and conversations (replies) gravitate to the center. Users who like a more structured view can switch modes to see them in a list.
Omni Viewer:The Flash video player can display lives broadcast and progressive streaming at any size and in full screen. The new controls provide an intuitive interface t also allows users to quickly move through the video without buffering delays.
All three tools have a Django administration tool that provides editors with the ability to build and edit special media packages and to choose which views or technologies to use.
Currently, we are serving the videos via Brightcove but the player allows for live RMTP streams, mp3 or any flv file.
The feature was developed by the Product Development team known as the Web Ninajs. Jesse Foltz developed the code-intensive Flash interface and Lee Trout developed the behind-the-scenes databases, scripts and administration tools.
The Washington Post's Alexandra Garcia hits the streets with a Canon 5D Mark II to find out what people are wearing around Washington, D.C. This feature also uses the new WebCom comment technology and some extra features in the video player.
The visual content of Scene In was shot on the Canon 5D Mark II. Because of the audio limitations of the camera (no headphone monitoring and no manual adjustment of the levels), the audio interviews were recorded with a wireless Sennheiser ME66/K6 microphone onto a Marantz audio recorder and later synced in Final Cut Pro.
The player for Scene In was developed in Flash, and the chapters denoting each fashionista were created using cue points in the Brightcove console. The interface was also developed in Flash AS3 and we wanted to offer people a simple experience that made it easy to either watch all the videos in sequence, like a video slideshow, or to choose an episode by name (list) or location (map). Users can comment on each video or skip to the next one, choosing to engage where they have interest.
The comment system is build using Django and Flash AS3. The idea is to provide a visual representation that allows users to quickly see what are the highest rated and most discussed comments. Expect to see this comment implementation more in the future.
Here you can experience the next generation in online video, photo mosaics, interactive graphics and our next technological advances as well as get behind-the-scenes information on how the different projects were created. Click the "More about this project" link to read behind-the-scenes details about how it was created. You can also post comments and interact with the journalist and developers.

Tyrone the Terrible
|Tyrone the Terrible Toy Tinker (formerly);
Tyrone the Terrific
|Land of Oz
|Emerald City;
Kukala Mountain (formerly)
|Toy Maker;
Tyrant (formerly)
|Dorothy Gale, Green Gobbler
|First Appearance
|Dorothy in the Land of Oz (1980)
Tyrone the Terrible Toy Tinker (or just Tyrone the Terrible) was an evil toy maker who due to his failure to become a successful toy maker turned to a life of evil and sought to take over the Land of Oz. He is the main villain in the animated TV film Dorothy in the Land of Oz.
Some unknown time after the Wicked Witch of the West had been defeated by Dorothy Gale, Tyrone took over as Oz's new prominent evil and constantly made threats to the populace and swore to take over the Emerald City with his army of living toy soldiers. However in truth his soldiers were not alive, due to needing Dr. Pipt's Powder of Life to bring his army to life and take over Oz. After finding out Jack Pumpkinhead possessed the powder, he tried to steal it but was scared off by what appeared to be a giant monster bird.
In truth the monster bird was just a turkey parade balloon that had accidentally carried off Dorothy to Oz. After meeting Jack Pumpkinhead, Jack told Dorothy of Tyrone's plans and actions and thanked her and her monster bird for scaring him off. She then told him that it was not a bird but a simple large balloon. Tyrone over heard this, and no longer having to worry, he quickly grabbed Jack's powder and threw some over the turkey balloon, bringing it to life and turning it into a true monster bird which he named the Green Gobbler of Oz. Tyrone then convinced the bird that he was its master and creator and that together they would take over the Emerald City, assuring that the death and destruction would reign and that those who survived would be their slaves. Tyrone then flew off on the Green Gobbler's back and headed for his castle on Kukala Mountain where he would finally bring to life his army of led soldiers (or as he called it, his army of The Living Led).
- His design seems to have been based on the Nome King's.

Apple's lost iPhone a lesson in chain of custody, data loss prevention
Security threats are everywhere. Not just your traditional hackers and cybercriminals — I'm talking about the people who work for you. Those who absent-mindedly leave a laptop in an airport or misplace a flash drive are putting your company's data at risk.
This type of data loss is pretty common, no matter how serious you are about security. Just ask Apple.
Apple Inc.'s next-generation iPhone prototype was reportedly left behind at a bar last month by an Apple software engineer and just recently returned to the company (after a revealing stay with Gizmodo), providing an unprecedented first look at the newest version well before the expected launch date.
A few weeks ago, I interviewed Larry Ponemon, founder and chairman of the Ponemon Institute LLC, a privacy and information management research center, for a story I was writing about data recovery. One of the points Ponemon stressed was paying attention to the chain of custody — the journey your data takes whenever it leaves the organization — because it's not as closely watched as we may think.
Ponemon said he knows of one company that sent a senior executive's laptop out for data recovery services and never got it back. "It was lost in the cab on the way back," he said. "No one questioned the chain of custody."
So maybe we can't prevent human error when it comes to lost devices, but we should keep our eyes wide open to the possibility. Keep close track of your company's devices and mitigate the risks of data loss via encryption.

Taylor Hackford to Direct ABC's Richard LaGravenese Pilot (Exclusive)
ABC has enlisted another Academy Award writer to its pilot season ranks.
Taylor Hackford has been tapped to direct the network's untitled Richard LaGravenese drama, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The drama, set in New York City, revolves around the love and rivalry between two equally matched, powerful socialites who play out their obsessive attraction and seduction of each other through their manipulation of others.
STORY: TV Pilots 2014: The Complete Guide
LaGravenese, who earned an Oscar nomination for 1991's The Fisher King, will pen the script and exec produce the ABC Studios entry alongside Erwin Stoff, Ilene Staple and Wren Arthur.
Hackford -- who won an Oscar for his short film Teenage Father in 1978 and was nominated for his directing work for 2004's Ray -- directed (and executive produced) drama pilot Company Town for The CW last year. He also directed the pilot for E-Ring.
Hackford becomes the latest Academy Award winner to head to ABC. The network also is teaming with American Hustle's David O. Russell for an untitled drama that was picked up straight to series. Fellow Oscar nominee 12 Years a Slave's John Ridley is writing and directing ABC's American Crime; Lee Daniels is prepping Fox's Empire; and Matt Damon and Ben Affleck are executive producing CBS' More Time With Family, with the latter also developing Fox's The Middle Man.
Hackford is repped by CAA.

Drink responsibly (and legally) at football games
For your average fan, football and alcohol go very well together – clearly the opinion of many attending the World Cup 2018. Jan Gebauer and Marija Mušec of CMS Croatia explain some of the restrictions at home and abroad.
The tradition of alcohol consumption at football games goes way back, as far as the first organised football competitions. People would flock to games, enjoying drinks before, during and after the game (whether in celebration or to drown their sorrows). Alcohol consumption by fans during football games was not seen as problematic during most of the 20th century.
Unfortunately, problems on the football scene, including occasional violent incidents, have given rise to a debate on the control of alcohol consumption.
Indeed, last month, a Moscow government department issued statements that purchasing beer in shops or restaurants within a 2 km radius of the Luzhniki and Otkritie Arena stadiums, as well as the FIFA Fan Zone on Vorobyovy Gory will not be possible on match day and the day before. However, sale and consumption of beer produced by the official FIFA sponsor is allowed both at the stadiums and the fanzones.
The motivations behind this may be multi-faceted but it is clear that problems associated with football matches are not just a local issue. Across the world, as more and more people flock to football games, some European countries have issued bans on alcohol consumption at football games. In 1996, the European Parliament adopted a report on hooliganism which advocated the ban of alcohol at football games.
In our home country, Croatia, the national legislator also implemented a ban on alcohol sale and consumption during football games in 2003 with the Croatian Law on Prevention of Violence at Sporting Events (the "Law").
According to the Law, consumption and possession of alcohol at a football match is prohibited, unless the national sport federation obtains police authorisation for the sale and distribution of alcohol at a sporting event. Even when this police authorisation is given, certain restrictions and conditions on the consumption of alcohol will apply inside the stadium and in the areas surrounding the stadium.
Fans can consume only alcohol bought at the venue, which must not contain more than 6% alcohol. As a precautionary measure, alcohol must be served in containers that do not splinter and cannot be used as a tool for striking or tossing/throwing. In practice, alcohol is served in plastic containers. These rules also apply to the so-called fan zones. On a more general note, there are also specific laws regulating advertising/promotion of alcohol in electronic media (i.e. TV, radio and electronic publications) and in other media (e.g. newspaper, other press). The provisions for advertising of beer, wine and fruit wines are more liberal than for other types of alcohol.
Recently the football fans around Europe have raised their voices demanding for the lifting or mitigating of the bans. As it turns out, the bans have not yielded the desired results. Recent studies show that alcohol bans at stadiums and on transport had no real effect on reducing the overall intoxication of fans.
Many fans argue that the bans did not stand the test of time for a number of reasons; over the past couple of decades, the profiling of fans who can afford to attend the games, the infrastructure of the modern football stadiums, and general public awareness of these issues have changed. Certain jurisdictions have already taken a more liberal approach, acknowledging that restrictions are not necessarily the most effective way of re-shaping problematic behaviour.
It remains to be seen whether the ban will be totally lifted in the future or if fans will still not be allowed to enjoy a drink during football games. In any case, CMS encourages you to drink responsibly.

Are Gluten-Free Diets Just Another Fad?
Are gluten-free diets a fad? Is this trend just an expansion of the low-carb craze?
The answer to both of those questions is no. Over the past 15 years, there has been an extraordinary amount of research and clinical evidence on the deleterious health effects of gluten. When gluten is removed from the diet, we've seen a reversal of depression, joint pain, psoriasis, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and autoimmune disorders, including Hashimoto's, arthritis and Type 1 diabetes.
But often improving our health is not enough of an impetus to stay away from gluten, particularly if a bagel and coffee is your de rigueur breakfast. The real driver for the explosion of the gluten-free trend is the weight-loss claim associated with eating gluten free.
And it's valid. I frequently see a 10-pound drop of weight during the first week that someone goes gluten-free. Obviously, they need to have more than 10 pounds of excess fat in the first place to lose it, so don't think that going gluten free is going to miraculously turn you into a Victoria's Secret angel if you're five pounds away from your ideal weight.
This weight loss is partially water, but you want to get rid of it. It's toxic, inflammatory water from an up-regulated immune system that's been busy fighting off the gluten molecules. That water (and weight) doesn't come back if the gluten-free diet is maintained.
So what exactly is gluten? Gluten is the protein molecule in wheat that makes bread elastic and rise. It's also in rye and barley. Going gluten free means avoiding all products that contain these foods: bread, pasta, bagels, cookies, pastries, cous-cous, granola, oatmeal, most cereals, soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, some canned soups and anything that contains wheat starch, including one of my favorites, licorice.
The right way to eat gluten free is to replace these foods with plants (i.e. fruits and vegetables). For breakfast, instead of an egg on a bagel, try two eggs with avocado. For lunch, instead of a sandwich, have a spinach salad with beets, carrots, pumpkin seeds, tomatoes and wild salmon. As an afternoon snack, have a cup of berries versus a cookie. For dinner, have white fish with tomato sauce and roasted vegetables instead of pasta and tomato sauce. These swaps are easy to make and bring not only weight-loss but also a renewed sense of vitality, clearer mind, more radiant skin and a better mood.
Eating gluten-free-labeled products should be done on only an occasional basis. If you simply replace the gluten-based foods with packaged gluten-free foods, you'll limit the gluten-induced inflammation but you'll spike your blood-sugar levels more and end up on a moody, high-low blood-sugar roller coaster, which can make you crave more carbs than when you had gluten in the diet! The reason for this is that gluten is a protein, and protein slows the glycemic response. Taking it out and replacing it with high-glycemic foods like pulverized rice, potato and tapioca starch (the basis of most gluten-free foods) makes blood sugar levels rise faster than a piece of bread. Skip the gluten-free products, and eat real food instead.
If you've been tested for celiac disease and have come back negative, it doesn't mean you won't benefit from going gluten-free, nor does it mean you're not gluten sensitive. Being a celiac is like being a diabetic, while being gluten sensitive is analogous to having elevated fasting glucose levels. You don't want to be a diabetic, nor do you want to be a celiac. But if you continue to bomb your body with sugar and gluten, that's what you may become.
If you're thinking about going gluten free, I encourage you to do so. Make it an experiment for two weeks, and monitor how you feel. If you see improvements in your health, including weight, then continue on the gluten-free diet. If you don't, then re-introduce it after two weeks. If you feel fatigued and a sense of malaise after its re-introduction, it's likely you have a gluten sensitivity. This reaction is due to a hyper-sensitivity that occurs when you take out an allergenic food, be it gluten, dairy or any other highly reactive protein molecule. If you don't feel any adverse symptoms, then you can re-introduce gluten but keep it to no more than every second day, and select low-gluten foods like spelt and kamut.

Using PayPal for domain sales up to $500 is generally okay. The good thing about using PayPal is that there is no commission beyond the small 2 to 3% that they typically charge. The bad part about using PayPal for intangible goods like domain name salesis that you don't have any recourse should the buyer claim that he never received the domain. That's why a service like escrow.com becomes essential for domain sales above $500 – $1,000.
DIY Escrow.com Links
Creating links for any item with PayPal is generally really easy. Just log into your account, edit the price and then paste the html code back on your website. Well now it can be just as easy with escrow.com who now allow sellers to create leaks and buttons on their websites that allow buyers to accept a price and began an escrow transaction.
This service is available for all escrow.com customers
You have the option to register as a user or a partner, both registrations will offer the same features. If you are a marketplace or have a large portfolio we suggest registering as a partner. The Bulk Import feature allows you to submit a spreadsheet with all your items and prices. Escrow.com then returns a unique button/link for every single item.
Since these are just html links (or buttons) you can place these links anywhere on the web that they're welcome like forums and domain marketplaces. There is no additional cost associated with using these self-serve buttons beyond the usual escrow.com fees. You as the seller decide how you want to split the escrow fees when creating your 1-click checkout button. It would be wise to set the escrow fee split to 50/50 and simply adjust your price to take into account the fee you're paying. The minimum fee for using Escrow.com is $25, with an extra $25 charge if your buyer is outside the United States to cover international wire transfer fees. Nominally Sedo's fee starts at 3.25% for transactions up to $5,000 and go down drastically from there. As a point of comparison, Sedo's domain transfer service starts at a 2.5% transaction fee for sales up to $5,000, but their rates don't go down as fast compared to Escrow.com and their minimum transaction fee is higher at $60.
2016 Update For those using Bodis for parking you can now deploy an Escrow lander for your domain which allows you to set the BIN (Buy It Now) price. This gives you the trust of Escrow along with a helpful (and immediate) checkout flow for your potential buyer. If you have an account with Bodis, set your Nameservers to theirs (ns1/ns2.bodis.com) and select the Escrow lander for your domain in your backend:

By PFC Lee, Dong-hyunOctober 31, 2013
CAMP RED CLOUD, Korea- It is quite an unusual occurrence to see an agent of the Criminal Investigation Division, CID in uniform. They normally wear civilian suits when they work. However, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Unsil Lee, special agent-in-charge of the Camp Casey CID Office, arrived to the police agency in Army Service Uniform for something other than her job.
It is an unprecedented event in Area 1 that a CID agent receives a certificate of appreciation from Korea National Police, KNP. Lee received a certificate of appreciation from Chief Superintendent General Lee Man-hui, commissioner of the Gyeonggi Provincial Agency at Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency 2nd Office, Uijeongbu, Korea in late October.
As a special agent-in-charge of the Camp Casey CID office, Lee has been doing a tremendous job in supporting joint criminal investigations along with KNP, in drug related crimes.
"Drug crimes committed by the U.S. Soldiers have been a problem in the area, and the assistance of CID agents was vital in drug crime investigations," said local police Lt. Kim Chul-won, chief inspector of International Investigation Squad, Gyeonggi Provincial Police Agency 2nd Office. "Since 2012 when Lee took charge of the Camp Casey CID Office, we have been very successful in rounding up drug criminals."
Kim added that three to four years ago the number of yearly drug crimes was about 20, but now it is almost at zero. In addition to drug crimes, Lee has lead several joint investigations of big crimes such as one million dollar defraudation committed by Korean labor union manager and 10 million dollar fraudulent delivery contract.
"I've accomplished a lot as a leader of the Camp Casey CID office," said Lee. "Thanks to the hard work of my agents, investigators and KNP officers."
She emphasized that the role of KNP officers is important because CID does not have any authority to investigate off-post in Korea. "Friendly relationship with KNP should be promoted through official and unofficial gatherings," she said.
One of the factors that may have helped Lee's success with KNP is that she is a Korean-American. The absence of language barrier and cultural difference made the joint-investigation process easier. Furthermore, the Camp Casey CID personnel say that she is a great leader.
"She is very thorough at the workplace," said Cho sung-chun, criminal investigator of the Camp Casey CID office. "I have been working here for 12 years, and I can definitely say that Lee is the best professional among past special agents-in-charge of our office."
The achievements of Lee were also highly recognized by the U.S. Army. She is Chief Warrant Officer 3 promotable, and soon will be promoted to Chief Warrant Officer 4.

Splatoon is a online third-person action shooter For Wii U
Nintendo announced Splatoon. Get ready to get messy! Splatoon is a colorful and chaotic online third-person action shooter exclusively on Wii U. Challenge your friends in chaotic four-on-four matches, in which the goal is to get your ink on as many places as possible and claim your turf, all while strategically submerging yourself in your team's colors and blasting your enemies. Splatoon is due for release in the first half of 2015.
– Team up and take on other teams in an action-filled battle to cover the level with as much ink as possible. Spray walls to access hard-to-reach areas.
– Covering more territory with ink unlocks powered-up super weapons that can be used to attack rivals or cover more turf.
– Strategy is everything. Defeat enemies to splatter them in an explosion of ink, covering more turf for your team. But choose wisely: Players who only go after the enemy might find their turf redecorated in their enemies' colors.
– Refill ink tanks, hide from opponents or move faster by turning into a squid and diving into the ink with the tap of a button.
– Select between multiple control options on the Wii U GamePad controller, including using gyroscopic controls to look around, allowing for better aiming and control.
– Hop online and battle in four-on-four matches.

God of Carnage, International Wetlands Day, Fry Bread, Bird Singers and Gourd Dancing
Events January 30-February 1, 2020
Various Authors noon, Jan. 25
Forbes magazine today (March 27) published its annual compilation of the valuation of Major League Baseball teams. The top four teams were the NY Yankees, $2.3 billion; LA Dodgers $1.62 billion; Boston Red Sox $1.3 billion and Chicago Cubs $1 billion. Notice that three of the top four play in old ballparks. Hmm. (The Cubs are trying to squeeze impecunious Chicago and Illinois for rehabilitation funds for Wrigley Field, built in 1914, despite the team's perennially awful performance on the field.)
The Padres are worth $600 million, says Forbes. But Forbes excluded teams' ownership positions in local TV deals in calculating teams' worth. Says Forbes, "The San Diego Padres were sold to a group headed by the O'Malley family last year for $800 million; $200 million of the purchase price was for the team's 21% stake in its new Fox Sports San Diego. We value the Padres at $600 million." The $600 million valuation puts the team 18th out of 30 teams. The Padres had revenues of $189 million last year, says Forbes. The Dodgers were at $245 million and the Cubs $274 million. The Tampa Bay Rays, with the lowest valuation of $451 million, had revenue of $167 million last year.

Cognition and the way that we think has always fascinated me. Not necessarily at the biological level (although you obviously can't study cognition without getting into some of that), but the way that we make decisions. What kinds of factors are given more weight than others, and why is that the case? Why does that hierarchy of factors seem to change not only between different people, but also between different decisions the same person makes? These are the kinds of questions that I find very interesting.
The way that we make decisions at work is changing as well. In one webinar I attended on how to create brain friendly workplaces, they referred to the modern business world as being in COAT – a state of Continuous Overlapping Accelerated Transition. In layman's terms? Everything is changing, and it's changing faster and faster. That reality has led to a challenge in the business world, where more often than not the reaction tends to fall on the following spectrum:
At one end, you have those who are apprehensive of change. It makes them nervous. They might not stand in the way of change if it's small, but they are definitely not a fan of it.
At the other end, you have those who, like Dr. Sheldon Cooper, will have nothing to do with change. Change is greeted with extreme anxiety and is to be avoided at all costs.
But at a certain point, we all have to acknowledge the reality that any business is operating in a continuous state of change. So you have to learn to not only operate within a constant state of flux, you need to learn to thrive in that environment. How do you do this?
The Human Capital Institute presented a webinar with Sae Schatz and Lynn Pollard of Executive Development Associates last week. Beyond Critical Thinking – Making Smart Decisions Under Complexity is still available in the webcast archives, and I would recommend this webinar to anyone who wants to learn some useful tips to help make smarter decisions in this ever-present state of COAT. The webinar covers a lot of material, but it does offer seven skills to cultivate to help you make better decisions in complex situations.
I won't detail all seven skills here. I would highly recommend that anyone interested watch the webinar in its entirety because it does make more sense when seen in context. But I want to point out some things I found surprising in their skill set recommendations. One thing that surprised me is the inclusion of Intuition in the skill set. Standard advice generally steers towards avoiding using Intuition as a factor in any decision made in a complex environment, because intuition is kind of fuzzy, hard-to-describe type of thing that often can't be justified in the business world. Advice instead recommends coming to logical, analytical conclusions which can be justified with hard data and facts. But Schatz and Pollard point out that in a state of constant change, and especially within complex or chaotic environments, finding hard facts and data is often difficult, if not impossible. They recommend recognizing your intuition as a factor, but acknowledging its nebulous features. Unless, of course, you are Jethro Gibbs….then always trust your gut.
Another recommendation I found interesting was an acknowledgement of something that can be a strength, but when over-used is really a weakness. This recommendation was related to adaptability, and points out that adaptability is a key component of making decisions in a complex environment. But they defined adaptability to be "Change when change is required"…with an emphasis on the required bit. In other words, you shouldn't be seeking to change simply because you can. You have to be comfortable with the idea of challenging your comfort zone when needed, and be OK with making changes if necessary. But don't focus on being so adaptable and flexible that you are constantly changing simply because you can.
If you are interested in hearing the other five recommended skill sets for making better decisions in complex situations, check out Beyond Critical Thinking – Making Smart Decisions Under Complexity.

The only test that can give a definitive diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease is an autopsy with brain evaluation. An autopsy can reveal the plaques and tangles in the brain that are characteristic of Alzheimer's disease. Nevertheless, an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis is almost always possible using a few different tests.
According to the Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research, doctors today are able to diagnose Alzheimer's disease with up to 90 percent accuracy. This is important, as there are many other disorders that can cause dementia. Doctors rely on a number of tests to accurately diagnose Alzheimer's disease. These include:
- Brain imaging tests
- Lab tests
- Medical history
- Neuropsychological tests
- Physical examination.
Brain Imaging Tests
A brain scan (such as an MRI) is an important test in formulating an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. Imaging tests can reveal abnormalities in the brain that are characteristic of Alzheimer's, such as areas of the brain that are dense (due to amyloid plaques) or uncharacteristically inactive.
Imaging tests can also reveal the presence of other potential causes of dementia, such as:
- Blood clots
- Brain tumors
- Stroke.
Laboratory Tests
Laboratory tests on blood and urine are also important for eliminating the possibility of the presence of other medical disorders. Lab tests can help to reveal the presence or absence of medical problems such as:
- Anemia
- Diabetes
- Infection
- Liver problems
- Thyroid disorders
- Vitamin deficiencies.
Medical and Family History of Alzheimer's Disease
An examination of an individual's personal and family medical history can offer some clues towards making an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. You may want to bring a friend or family member with you to help provide this information, in case you're unable to provide all the necessary details.
Neuropsychological Testing
The purpose of neuropsychological testing is to identify the cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's disease and to arrive at an accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer's. Your doctor will use simple exercises and tests to assess your:
- Memory
- Motor skills
- Problem-solving skills
- Visual-motor coordination.
Physical Exam
Part of the process of coming up with a diagnosis for Alzheimer's disease is to rule out all other potential causes of dementia. A physical examination can help accomplish this. Your doctor will look for any potential abnormalities in your nervous system or in any of your organs.
New Possibilities for an Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis: Neuroimaging
Neuroimaging is a relatively new and sophisticated type of imaging that enables doctors to measure changes in brain function or structure. These changes can be seen even in the very early stages of Alzheimer's disease. This allows for an early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease, often even before symptoms of the disease have become obvious.
This promising new method of obtaining an Alzheimer's disease diagnosis will allow those with Alzheimer's disease to begin treatment much earlier than was previously possible. Although early treatment can not prevent the degenerative nature of Alzheimer's disease, it can slow the process of mental deterioration.

Sleep Well No More Snore Ring Reviews
Using acupressure, the Sleep Well No More Snore Ring can tap into your body's energy meridian to help comfortably open air passages and ease your snoring.
About Sleep Well No More Snore Ring
Sleep Well No More Snore Ring is a snoring solution that claims to use the principle of acupressure to activate pressure points in your body, which open air passageways and ease snoring.
At night, simply place No More Snore Ring on your pinky finger with the ridges on the underside, and it promises to help stop you from snoring—without annoying inserts, nose strips, or mouthpieces!
Is the Snore Ring really an acupressure snoring solution, or just a gimmick that has no basis in reality? We fully understand the importance of stopping your snoring, which is why we'll cover all the key points in this review. Let's begin with the basics.
What Is Acupressure? Can It Help You Stop Snoring?
Have you ever heard of acupuncture? Basically, practitioners claim that by lightly puncturing skin in very specific areas with ultra-fine needles, they're able to tap into the body's energy meridian. As a result, they can affect different areas of the body, especially organs, and cause real change, such as decreased pain and relief from hundreds of different conditions—including snoring.
Well, acupressure takes the same basic ideas found in acupuncture, but instead of using needles, these meridians are activated by applying direct hand pressure on specific areas of the body. In turn, the Sleep Well No More Snore Ring claims that it can provide these same acupressure benefits using only three small raised bumps on the underside of their adjustable ring.
Here's something to note: Although the principles behind acupuncture have been used in traditional Chinese medicine for more than 5,000 years, there is little clinical evidence showing that there is any kind of energy meridian in the body. In the instance of the Snore Ring, this causes a bit of a snowball effect:
First, even if there was evidence showing this energy meridian existed, there's no evidence showing that it can be manipulated to affect change in the body.
Second, even if it was shown that our body had an energy meridian that could be altered, there's no evidence available showing that acupuncture can do so.
Next, even if there was evidence showing that energy meridians existed and could be manipulated using acupuncture, there's no evidence showing that acupressure provides the same benefits (if any) as acupuncture.
Finally, even if acupressure was shown to be effective, there's no evidence showing that small ridges on an object can create the same amount of pressure, and thus the same benefits, as traditional acupressure.
But hold on; don't make up your mind about No More Snore Ring just yet, because there are still some important points to consider, including price.
How Much Does Sleep Well No More Snore Ring Cost?
You can only purchase two No More Snore Rings during checkout, which will cost you $10 plus $11.98 S&H.
All Snore Rings come with a 30-day refund policy, less S&H charges. Did you catch that? This means that if you decide to process a refund, by the time you ship them back to the company, you could spend 50% more in S&H than you'll get back as a refund!
Nonetheless, you can contact InvenTel's customer service department at 323-375-1042. Other than that they manufacture No More Snore Ring, what else can we tell you about InvenTel?
Who Makes No More Snore Ring?
Although InvenTel's been in business since 2001, it seems they've really made their mark on the ASOTV industry over the past several years, with hugely popular releases like DashCam Pro, HD Free TV Antenna, Liberty Lantern, and more.
Here on HighYa, these products had an average rating of about 2 stars at the time of our research, with common complaints citing failure to work as advertised and less-than-stellar customer service experiences. In the instance of DashCam Pro, many customers seemed complained about long shipping times, which seems to have since been resolved.
Pro tip: The reality is that these are common complaints about most ASOTV products, and aren't specific to InvenTel or any other company in the industry.
But does this mean you can expect to experience the same with the Snore Ring? While there's certainly no reason to believe so, we think it's worth mentioning and keeping in mind.
Sleep Well No More Snore Ring: The Solution to Your Snoring?
Ultimately, whether or not you should give No More Snore Ring a try depends on a combination of factors, so let's quickly break it down:
The benefits of acupressure: Although we came down pretty hard on acupuncture/acupressure above, the reality is that these practices have been used successfully my millions of people for a very long time. In the end, whether or not there's clinical evidence to support their efficacy—or whether or not these benefits are the result of a placebo effect—if it works to help provide some snoring relief, then that's really all that matters.
Snoring is a personalized problem: As we detailed in A Step-by-Step Guide to Finding an Anti-Snoring Product that Works, there can be dozens of causes of snoring. As a result, what works to curb your snoring might not work at all for someone else. And even if it did, personal preferences (like comfort) can determine whether or not the same treatments will continue to be effective.
Your finger size: Do you have especially small or large fingers? If so, No More Snore Ring appears to be one-size-fits-all (although there is a small slit in the side for minimal adjustability), so it might not provide the pressure needed to "activate" your energy meridian.
S&H charges: Last, but certainly not least, although it's positive No More Snore Ring comes with a 30-day refund policy, because of its high, non-refundable S&H charges, you're basically putting $15 on the line by placing your order. Is it worth the risk? Ultimately, this is only something you can decide.
We've certainly covered a lot of territory in this review, but when it comes down to it, your ultimate goal is to curb—or completely stop—your snoring. After all, it's not just an annoyance to your loved ones; it can also be a cause for health concerns.
Given this, rolling the dice on Sleep Well No More Snore Ring might be worth a shot, especially if you've tried other common anti-snoring products like chinstraps, mouth guards, nasal strips, and nostril wideners without any real success. Like any other product intended to address a medical concern though, we'd always recommend speaking with your doctor first, who can help point you in the right direction if you're unsure where to turn.

This smoke-shrouded monster is Lockheed's 92-ton Constitution, the largest commercial-type land plane in use. Built for the U.S. Navy, the Constitution took off last week from Moffet Field, Calif., on its maiden passenger trip to Washington. Six auxiliary jets helped the plane cut its take-off run. The double-decked Constitution broke no speed records (it made the trip in 9 hrs. 35 min.), but it carried 90 people, the largest number ever flown in a nonstop transcontinental flight. Though Lockheed has no commercial orders for the plane, President Robert Gross thinks it would be a moneymaker. It could carry 180 passengers nonstop...

By now you have probably seen the two most prominent reviews of the BlackBerry Bold, and chances are that you are somewhat excited about the phone (at least curious, right?). RIM has not been able to cut through all the iPhone 3G hype, but if you need a great smartphone and you're not interested in an Apple product then there is a very good chance that you have your eye on the Bold or Thunder.
The good news is that you won't have to wait too long for either. Boy Genius is reporting that we will be seeing the Bold sometime in September for most carriers. As for the Thunder–the touchscreen iClone–it looks like that will be arriving around the middle of October on Verizon. If this turns out to be true then it could be a great grab for Verizon, who would be really helped out by picking up a BlackBerry before (or at least at the same time as) the rest of the market.
Some interesting conversations are coming up about RIM's dual phone strategy. They definitely don't want to stray too far away from something like the Curve, but the Bold seems like it could have issues with build quality and it might not be different enough to lure in anyone aside from current BlackBerry users. The Thunder is still a bit of an unknown at this point, but it will be interesting to see how well it is received. It might end up being even more of a gamble than the Pearl, which actually worked out quite well.

DIY Gate Installation – is it right for you?
Things to Consider When Installing Your Own Gate
There is a growing interest, mainly due to several TV shows, amongst people to do their own renovations in order to be in control. DIY renovations can be basic such as changing the colour of the fence or can be more complex such as building a deck and it can be installing a new gate to your house to improve its curb appeal as well as increasing the value of your house. However, regardless of the fact if you are new or experienced around the house, you will need to have a set of skills before you can start a major DIY project.
Before you begin, what you need to understand is that many people undertake DIY tasks in order to save money. You can easily find Aluminium Gates in Perth that are not only affordable, but also come with a professional team that will install the gate for you at little or no extra cost. There is no point in carrying out a technical task when professionals can do it.
The next thing to consider is whether your gate meets the requirements set out by the state. If you choose to install a gate yourself, you will have to check out the special circumstances yourself, while a professional company will be able to guide you more easily about things.
Aluminium Gate Installation is also a difficult task, as you need to be informed about uneven grounds, contours and slopes. These can introduce problems with your installation process, which you will not know how to deal with. If you do not have a lot of knowledge about gates, you will not be sure if it requires additional supports or if you need extra materials.
There are other types of risks involved if you consider choosing to install the gate yourself. It is recommended that homeowners who are either qualified in a trade and use different types of tools should only consider gate installation at a DIY project as the types of risks and liability involved can be harsh.
There are manual and motorized two options for gates available in Perth. Manual gates and fences could potentially be installed by homeowners as they are not extremely technical although it can prove to be a long and exhausting task. Due to the complex nature of installing motorized gates, as well as the safety problems associated with aluminium gate installation, it is a wise idea not to attempt this on your own.
The best option in terms of aluminium gate installation is to meet the contractor half way so that they can do most of the work and you can assist them in a consulting role to ensure that you get exactly what you want. This way you will not have to do the heavy lifting and digging and the complex part that involves electrical work.

Is it a pig? Is it a seal? No, it's Wetdog! Pippa loves nothing more than water. No matter if the bathtub at home or the great open sea, this elderly collie cross is happiest when digging in the water and barking at even the tiniest waves.
Alas, for urban dog owners, there are few opportunities to bestow such ridiculous happiness on our pooches, especially on hot summer days. Ponds and rivers can be full of irritants or plagued with poisonous Blue Algae, and the traditional paddling pools for children don't stand a chance against claws. NM
Pets at Home has come to the rescue with the Coco Jojo Pop-up Paddling Pool. Packed up, it is light and the size of a large frisbee. It pops up easily and features a drainage tap for when the fun is over. The pool is made of double-wall polyester and a non-slip fabric. The outside net for shampoos is a nice touch, although we find it more useful for balls
and treats.
The Paddling Pool is available in two sizes (the medium size of 65cm in diameter costs £26, and Pippa's large size of 91cm in diameter is £31). Click here to order.
