Step 5: Drop one drop of Zoya Fast Drops to the base of your nail bed
Following these 5 steps guarantees up to 14 days of wear on natural nails.
I really wanted to love this color, but the yellow undertone gives this almost a "baby food" green color to me. Not the almost neon green I was hoping for.
This color suits many and is a very wearable green, bright and happy. :) Looks cool with Maisie glittershimmer topcoat!!
i used two thick or three thin coats to reach full opacity.
I do love this color, BUT I was expecting a brighter green, and in the flesh it`s a little more of a leafy/forest green with gold shimmery hints. If you`re after a really bright green then this isn`t it, but it is a fantastic lively color.
This color went on a little darker than I expected. It reminded me of the green face of the Wicked With of the West. But when the light hits it, it has a wonderful gold shimmer. I am very happy with this color.
This color is not nearly as vivid or glittery as the photo shows. With three coats I have a pale lime green with no hint of gold shimmer. I was expecting a lot more glitter. Still searching for the perfect light, glittery green!
I love Midori. It`s hard to find a green that isn`t too obnoxious but this color is super pretty. It`s pretty darn close to the picture. I would definitely recommend it
I really like Midori. It`s a fun, crisp apple green color with gold shimmer. It`s not as vivid or yellow as the screen shows, though. It`s definitely more muted than Tangy (which is more of a pearlescent toxic-waste green). I really like it and applied it as soon as it arrived. I got full opacity with two coats, and it stayed intact with no chips for 4 full days of normal wear & tear.

September 25, 2012
Time once again to peruse the inane and predictable holiday wine and food pairing articles. Conventional wisdom recommends using some sort of formula to pair a selection of wines to complement a menu that might include everything from Aunt Edna's green beans to friend Jerry's tofu turkey. Napa-Valley based Master of Wine Tim Hanni, an internationally renowned guru on the subject of wine with food and professionally trained chef, suggests that instead of offering wines based on what's on the table, hosts at upcoming holiday meals should choose wines based on who is gathering around it.
Hanni has distilled years of experience and research into a seemingly revolutionary approach to wine drinking, based on a simple premise: people really do perceive things differently, and they should be able to discover and enjoy the wines they prefer, including sweet wines, without apology. Conversely, those who prefer intense red wines will need no coaxing to savor a glass of their favorite wine style.. Hanni dismisses the conventional rules of "matching" wine and food as simple metaphors combined with the overly vivid imagination of the wine experts. "You do need to know that the sweetness in a lot of the food will make whatever wine you are drinking more intense, acidic and tannic, and that a little squeeze of lemon or lime with a tiny bit of salt on the food will restore the balance of whatever wine you choose, " says Hanni.
According to Hanni, wine drinkers fall into four categories, or Vinotypes. Derived from both physiological and psychological elements in an individual's make-up, the four basic Vinotypes range from people who naturally prefer sweet wines to those who relish the bigger, more robust (tannic?) wines — and what tastes delicious to one person may easily leave another grimacing with distaste. You remember this from your childhood dinner table. Discover your Vinotype, and that of your guests, Hanni says, and, "you will learn how to consistently find the wines you will love the most and how to get the most pleasure from wine on your terms."
Hanni was a pioneer in the art of food and wine pairings at Napa Valley's Beringer Winery in the 1980s. His experiences there sent him on a three-decade investigation of why people like what they like. "I'd create what I thought were magical pairings," Hanni said. "And while some people loved them, others could hardly tolerate them. I went from thinking, 'What's wrong with you?' to 'What's going on here?'" Hanni began work with. Virginia Utermohlen, M.D., from Cornell University, who shared a deep interest in the subject. Based on their research, Hanni said, "it's clear that the range and intensity of sensations we experience varies, often dramatically, from one person to the next; and these individual difference play an important role in determining individual wine preferences. Some people have as few as 500 taste buds while others have over 11,000; this greatly influences our personal wine preferences - not good or bad, just different."
A series of questions Hanni has developed — How do you take your coffee? What do you think of artificial sweeteners?— are guideposts that help people identify their Vinotype: Sweet, Hypersensitive, Sensitive or Tolerant. At one end of the spectrum are the Sweet Vinotypes, people who experience a sensory overload from stimuli: light, sound, taste and smell. In wines they who crave sweetness to mask what they perceive as intolerable bitterness. These are people who started drinking wine with white zinfandel and ones fueling the explosive popularity of Moscato. They are also the ones who have often been made to feel apologetic about their tastes. "They and their well-meaning friends suffer from the collective delusion that, as their palate mature they will be able to appreciate what's perceived as more sophisticated wines, the big reds, the over-oaked chardonnays," Hanni says. "But it's not true. If a person likes White Zinfandel or Moscato with their steak, turkey or seafood, that's what they should have."
At the other end of the taste spectrum are the Tolerant Vinotypes. "Tolerant Vinotypes don't understand what all of the fuss is about with more sensitive Vinotypes – those wimps!" Hanni explains. They take their coffee black and the most likely to enjoy Scotch. "Big, red wines are their favorites and damn the torpedoes, Hanni says. "Intensity is the name of the game and the bigger the better." The Tolerant Vinotypes are the ones who want the thermostat set colder and the volume on the TV turned up while the Sweet and Hypersensitive demand the opposite.
In between these two extremes lie the types Hanni terms Hypersensitive and Sensitive Vinotypes. Hypersensitive Vinotypes are quite sensitive to all sorts of things and, like the Sweet Vinotypes, they have many pet peeves, he says. They are often artistic and adamant that they know what they like. "Hypersensitive Vinotypes are very similar in sensitivity to the Sweet Vinotypes but tend to prefer dry, or just off-dry, wines on an everyday basis.," he says. "Their favorite wines tend to be more delicate and very, very smooth while also being lower in alcohol. They may even like intense red wines but not with a lot of oak or heavy tannins smooth and rich.www.timhanni.com
"The Hypersensitive Vinotype is a bit more likely to 'talk dry and drink sweet' looking for those wines that have a slight bit of residual sugar," he adds.
The Sensitive Vinotype is the most flexible of wine drinkers. "Sensitive Vinotypes go with the flow," Hanni says. "Maybe they take their coffee with cream or a touch of sweetness at one point in the day, but they'll enjoy black coffee if the wind is right. They are open to trying new things, and variety is truly the spice of their lives." Sensitive Vinotypes love a wide range of mostly dry white and red wines, along with rosés and sparkling wines, Hanni says. "They are among the most adventurous wine lovers and open to all sorts of flavors and wine styles from delicate to robust." They do have more limitations on bitterness and tannins than Tolerant Vinotypes, Hanni notes. "They are not typically looking for the oaky monsters but really impeccably balanced, smooth and the word 'complex' is usually important as a wine description."
"Discovering people's Vinotype helps explain a lot of things people disagree on in life, from the temperature in the room, to the use of cilantro in a recipe, to the volume of the television, to the sheets that you sleep on," Hanni says.
"People should be able to like what they like, and this includes sweet wines," he concludes, and offering wines matched to the different Vinotypes who all come together at holiday dining table just might be your own holiday gift to wine lovers.

Here is a list of Holiday Wine Recommendations for the Vintoypes at your table or party. These wines were Platinum or Gold award winners at the Consumer Wine Awards at Lodi, a unique evaluation event where hundreds of everyday consumers, are grouped into Vinotype panels to taste and recommend their favorites from hundreds of wine entered into the competition.
Sweet Vinotypes are usually found sipping their favorite White Zinfandel or Moscato so try one of these:
- Hagafen Cellars Riesling, Napa Valley $24
- Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Muscat, California $12.00
Hypersensitive Vinotype
Pinot Grigio or silky Pinot Noir are very often the wine of choice and the will love one of the following:
· flipflop wines Sauvignon Blanc, Left Coast, ,Chile $7.00
· Loredona Pinot Grigio, Monterey, California $10.99
· Rutherford Vintners Pinot Noir, Napa Valley, California $12.99
Sensitive Vinotype
If you are limited on number of wines to serve the good news is that the Sensitive Vinotype will probably like whatever you select for the Hypersensitive or Tolerant but these will be specially loved:
- Picket Fence Chardonnay 2009 Russian River Valley, California16.99
- LuLu B., Malbec, Chile $7.00
- Cupcake Vineyards, Red Velvet, Zinfandel, Merlot Blend $13.99

A winner was selected from 174 designs submitted by 29 freelance designers.
Hand 2 Hand Cheer and Gymnastics
We are a small family owned gymnastics facility located in Springboro Ohio. Classes are offered to toddlers up to college students in tumbling, trampoline, and cheer. We have an expanding Pre-K and Kindergarten gymnastics program. Competitive teams are available for trampoline and tumbling (USA Gymnastics sanctioned) as well as traveling cheer squads. We also have an exhibition acrobatic troupe that performs at local area events as well as hospitals and nursing homes, etc. MOST of our athletes are cheerleaders hoping to improve their tumbling skills. We also offer parties and overnights for birthdays or any occasion. We have been using "Flip! Jump! Cheer! Party" as part of our marketing materials lately, and feel that describes who and what we are. Our current logo was designed by the previous owner and we think the acro couple on it seems a bit old fashioned and we are not strictly an acrobatic gym anymore.
Moms, kids and teens interested in tumbling, cheerleading, recreational trampoline, gymnastics pre K and kindergarten programs.
Our colors are red, black and grey. Our t shirts are normally red or black so the logo needs to be able to be used on those colors. We want something that is fun and would appeal to a teen market so we can sell shirts in our pro shop but works as our main image as well. I am attaching the current logo so you can see it, but we are not tied to it at all.
The design needs to be a TWO color design because it is cheaper for t shirt printing ,, rather than a 4 color design

It did not take me long, once I was hooked to the road, to realize that while destinations offer a closure to a journey, it takes a journey to open up the destination.
It was at that moment of realization that individual moments of discovery on the road strung themselves together to create a landscape of sustained beauty, encompassing culture, tradition, places, and people.
In travelling out of the comfort zone the first time, one is tempted to let the anticipation of the destination take over, engaged as the mind is in running over beautiful picture postcard images of the destination that goaded one into embarking on the trip. Then there're logistical issues to deal with – hotel reservations, local transportation, railway reservations, and scouring of eating places among other things, aspects of travel likely to overwhelm the traveller, dulling their receptivity to moments of beauty inherent in the mundane of everyday life different from their own, and the place different from where they come from.
Yet, it takes more than one journey and more than several goof-ups to begin to widen the perspective about life on the road and beyond it. And once that happens, as it happened to me, and as it must happen to many a wandering feet, the unexpected is no longer a constraint to be gotten through, but that to be admired for the inherent beauty of the experience, the promise of the moment, and its relevance to the traveller's own association with the land of his ancestors.
And soon it's no longer only the landscapes that awe with their beauty, or settings that astonish with their sophistication. It begins to include everyday moments with 'everyday people', and everyday places with 'everyday experiences', mundane to the resident but revealing to the visiting traveler, tapping the subconscious into embracing the newly conscious – a singular reason why the beauty of travel transcends expectations every single time.
And I've had my share of encounters with people and places that've taken kindly to my enquiring eye, encouraged even, even as they've been benevolent with their time in humouring my curiosity, possibly amused as I delighted in the acquaintance made, promising to mail in the pictures made with them and return someday before waving out as I left them behind on my way eleswhere, like when I left Appu Kuttan folding his straw mat on a platform outside the ancient Mookambika temple in Kollur on my backpacking trip along Karnataka's coast.
He had turned out to be an Ex-British India Army soldier pre-Independence. At 83, he remembered the key details.
"I did not swing guns on the battlefield," Appu Kuttan recalled. "I served in the 37 Field Ambulance Unit on the frontlines. We took our lunch in the trenches, sheltering from Japanese planes on bombing runs." At this juncture he raises his hands, imitating the Japanese planes swooping down to drop their loads behind British lines. Allied troops were battling to keep China's overland supply route through Burma open while Japan sought to cut it off. The Burma campaign began disastrously for the British in the December of 1941, with thousands of Indian soldiers in the British India army losing their lives to the Japanese and disease, malaria being rife in the swamps. By mid 1945 the tide had turned, and the Japanese were in full retreat.
"We took many Japanese prisoners in Rangoon," Appu Kuttan said, a smile breaking on his lips at the memory as he exhaled after drawing deep on his beedi. "Japanese Officers were made to sweep. They would ask us for Goodbye cigarettes," he said. "Eighteen of us in the Army company did not smoke, so we gave the prisoners our stock of Goodbye cigarettes."
Appu Kuttan offered to share his beedi with me. It took much effort on my part to politely decline his act of kindness, an offering as valuable as any among his meagre possessions that sustained his life as a sadhu since his discharge from the army after independence from British rule. [For more on Appu Kuttan, click to read my account here].
Reflecting on the way back, basking in the humanity experienced with strangers, indebted to the warmth with which I was received, it was inevitable that I would, in time, expand Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder to include Beauty is in the mind of the beholden.
Upon this realization, the road was no longer the same again, turning journeys into destinations, and vice versa. It ceased to merely connect the beginning and end, instead becoming the connection, seamless, and continuous in the way that riding it becomes imperative if one is to make sense of the place one is headed to, and the people who inhabit it. The stops on the road or the street or an alley became equally compelling, and encounters as enlightening as they were memorable.
And nowhere more so as with the chance meeting with Ramkrishna Bhagwan Maukar on a platform built into the enclosure of a 18th century stone temple in Panchavati, the place made sacred by Lord Ram's presence during his exile from Ayodhya.
To this day pilgrims stream in their thousands to offer prayers in the waters of the Godavari where Lord Ram bathed, and to sate their curiosity in the winding tunnels of Sita Gufa where Sita lived before she was whisked away by Ravana, stirring to life among the greatest epics of all time, aided ably by Lord Hanuman whose presence now permeates Panchavati.
Ramkrishna Bhagwan Maukar had come visiting Panchavati with fellow pilgrims bussed in from Yavatmal, soon finding himself in the temple that Naroshankar Raje Bahadur, a Jahgirdar in the reign of Peshwas, built in the Maya style.
Hanging over the entrance was a bronze bell, a token of victory over the Portuguese in Vasai presented to Naroshankar Raje Bahadur by the Peshwas in recognition of his bravery in the battle.
Soon, local tour guides sheltering on the platform from the Sun while awaiting pilgrims desirous of guides to take them around Panchavati convinced Ramkrishna Maukar in no time into lending tunes to the afternoon. Ramkrishna had carried his flute along. But before he played his flute, he sang in a sometimes shaky voice punctuated by a reluctant throat and racking coughs.
The next thirty minutes he transformed the temple courtyard into a rural landscape, replete with the fragrance of the earth stirred by his soulful rendition of lyrics that told of emotions, and sentiments about the everyday, moments that revealed the beauty of a simplicity that urban travelers will sometimes go seeking.
In between he apologized for his throat acting up as he raised his rendition a notch above. We told him he did fine nevertheless. As he strained, I told him it was okay with us if he chose to stop, considering he was old, and it was hot outside. But he would have none of it, brushing aside my suggestion and promptly singing another Marathi song, and we were only to happy to listen to him.
Eventually he expressed surprise at our interest, prompting one of the tour guides listening along into telling him that if it wasn't for the fact we were interested we wouldn't have sat through his singing. That seemed to please him and allay his apprehensions before bringing a smile to his weary face that must rank among the most beautiful smiles I've been graced with.
Then he took up the flute, and the afternoon soon rung to faraway images of an ancient land, elevating the everyday of an appreciative audience with the unexpected tenor of an unscheduled meeting with an old man from the hinterland.
Play the video below to share in the experience of listening to an impromptu session with Ramkrishna Maukar that summer day in the courtyard of an old stone temple, with idle tour guides and flower sellers in attendance.
The unexpected, if one is receptive to experiencing, is as much a beauty to behold and experience as say a river flowing through a valley in a mountain range, rivaling in equal measure with an elderly sadhu offering to share the only beedi in his possession, not to speak of being regaled with songs sung heartily from the heart.
Beauty exists in many forms, sustaining life, giving it meaning, while motivating living, even as it encourages reaching out, repeating the cycle all over again and making for a fulfilling life.
It exists as much in the faith of another as it does in the faith in another.

The robust young pilot who stands with his father and their aircraft in this photo is not as he seems. Although he is an extremely healthy 18-year-old, Jim Rollison has a genetic heart defect and, without the attention of some doctors throughout his life, he might not be here.
It's a nightmare no parent should ever face: a child with a life-threatening condition. Worse yet, this condition requires more surgery as the child grows. Jim's first surgery was at two weeks old. The second was at age 4. During his third surgery at age 11, his father was buying coffee for the hospital nurses at a local Starbucks. A firefighter asked him why he was buying so many cups of coffee. When Jimmy Rollison told him his son was in his third open-heart surgery for aortic coarctation, the firefighter responded: "Oh, you're a lucky man."
"Lucky?" Rollison asked him. "How did he think I was lucky when my 11-year-old son was having open-heart surgery?"
"We get one call a year to a high school basketball court for a player down of an apparent heart attack," the responder said. "We call the coroner before we leave the station because it is usually fatal—because of a misdiagnosed aortic coarctation."
For for Jim Bennon, his earliest memory is sitting on his father's lap in a J–3 Cub while his father let him hold the stick. His father was a flight instructor during World War II and later manager of the airport in Parkersburg, West Virginia; his uncle was a career pilot. Bennon was surrounded by aviation growing up and assumed that he'd become a pilot, too. But at age 11 he developed diabetes—his doctors thought it was caused by strep throat, during which the infection attacked his pancreas.
The young boy put his aviation dreams aside and lived a life without wings. But at age 53, his health had deteriorated and he faced end-stage renal disease. His doctor told him his best hope was a kidney transplant. His son Chris was a match and the successful transplant took place in 2006.
In the small town of Parkersburg, most people knew Bennon had always wanted to fly. His doctors knew that, too. And, as a team, they and Bennon's aviation medical examiner, Todd Fredricks, M.D., began the process of helping him realize that dream. Today, Bennon is a partner in a Cessna Skymaster with his doctor, has logged 500 hours, and is working on his multiengine instrument rating.
This tale of two Jims (three if you count Jim Rollison's dad, Jimmy) has one common denominator. Her name is Jo Ann.
In 1983, a lawyer named John Yodice was working for the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association in Bethesda, Maryland. He proposed that the association could help its members by assisting them with legal representation for their aviation-related problems. The AOPA Legal Services plan grew over the past 30 years to represent more than 70,000 members and today is a critical part of AOPA's Pilot Protection Services, which also offers help for members with medical certification issues.
AOPA's Pilot Protection Services provides proactive tips and advice from AOPA's legal and medical consultants to help members avoid problems with the FAA. PPS combines the best of AOPA's previous medical program and AOPA's Legal Services Plan to help members protect both their medical and pilot certificates. The program is designed to meet the needs of pilots, and starts at $39 a year.
The PPS legal and medical professionals are often pilots, too. They understand member issues, and they know how to work with the FAA. They know what it takes to keep members flying. Members receive one-on-one legal advice, potentially worth thousands of dollars; fast, professional action on medical and pilot certificate questions and issues; and tips and advice from attorneys and medical experts to help members stay healthy, fly smarter, and avoid any problems with the FAA in the first place.
When Jimmy Rollison wanted to help his young son realize his dream to eventually become a pilot, and when Jim Bennon's doctors wanted their patient to realize his dream to fly, they met Jo Ann. Jo Ann Wilson is the senior medical certification specialist for AOPA Pilot Protection Services. A former nursing student, emergency room and doctor's assistant, and founding member of the local Elder Services Provider Council, she has worked for AOPA for 19 years.
"If you ever go into the AOPA offices on a dark day and there's a bright light, it means Jo Ann is there," says Jimmy Rollison.
The Rollisons are an aviation family. Jimmy flies an MD-10 cargo jet for FedEx. The family lives in Vacaville, California, and keeps aircraft like most suburban families have bicycles. When their son was born in 1994, doctors told the couple they'd need to consider becoming a one-career family—young Jim was going to need a lot of attention. And his father knew that if his son ever expressed an interest in flying, he'd have an uphill battle.
The older Rollison began that battle as soon as Jim expressed the inevitable desire to become a pilot. He became a CFI so he could teach his son to fly. On his fourteenth birthday, Jim soloed a glider. If he was to get a private certificate—and this aviation family wanted that to happen on Jim's sixteenth birthday, just like his dad before him—Jim's doctor, Leroy Brown, suggested a call to AOPA.
Wilson's response was to tell the family to give her every piece of documentation she asked for. Rollison didn't have great hope. But as the months and work progressed, Wilson seemed to get them closer and closer to their goal. On the Friday before his son's birthday, Rollison saw the AOPA phone number come up on his cellphone. He was taxiing out in the MD-10—he'd forgotten to silence his phone—and thought This is bad; it's a bad time of day and it's a Friday.
But the message Wilson left and the news she later gave was amazing. "I have my son's medical certificate in my hand," Rollison said through tears. "I never thought it would happen.
Jim Bennon—who is now the airport manager at Parkersburg, like his father before him—is also now an aviator just like his friends and family, even though it didn't happen until he was 58 years old. "I'd given up on it," he admits. "But with my doctors, my family, and AOPA, I got over the hump."

AOPA Pilot Protection Services began 30 years ago with the launch of the AOPA Legal Services Plan. "It all started because we are trying to help pilots," says AOPA Legal Counsel John S. Yodice.

Diagnosis of osteosarcoma may include several different kinds of procedures. Typically, a physical examination takes place first in order to identify any swollen or tender areas of the body. Subsequently, the bone in question may be X-rayed in order to observe any structural changes that are characteristic of osteosarcoma. Although generally signs of a tumor may be detected in this way, a bone biopsy is usually carried out in order to authenticate the diagnosis. In some cases, a computed tomography (CT) scan or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are also used to provide a more detailed depiction of the state of the disease, readily revealing whether or not the cancer has spread to surrounding tissues or metastasized to more distant parts of the body. Such tests are also commonly performed after treatment has begun as a way to gauge the extent of the success of the therapy and whether or not the disease is continuing to invade new areas.
The adherent culture of human osteosarcoma (U-2 OS) cells illustrated in the digital image above was stained with Oregon Green 488 conjugated to wheat germ agglutinin, a plant-derived lectin that targets the Golgi apparatus, as well as Alexa Fluor 568 conjugated to phalloidin for cytoskeletal actin. Nuclei were labeled with the ultraviolet-absorbing probe DAPI. Images were recorded in grayscale with a QImaging Retiga Fast-EXi camera system coupled to an Olympus BX-51 microscope equipped with bandpass emission fluorescence filter optical blocks provided by Omega Optical. During the processing stage, individual image channels were pseudocolored with RGB values corresponding to each of the fluorophore emission spectral profiles.

Aerial robots
We're trying to make the most of robots that fly. We're studying a range of challenges, from the fundamentals of giving robots the intelligence to fly well, to their integration and exploitation for novel applications.
Future aerial robots have to deal more intelligently with uncertainty. For example, flying in a city exposes you to unpredictable, turbulent air flow, which is particularly troublesome for very small aircraft like Micro Air Vehicles (MAVs). If you're flying indoors to survey a damaged building, say, you have to deal with unexpected obstacles. In both scenarios, you've probably lost your GPS reception, so the aircraft needs to track its position and surroundings using its own on-board sensors. And, of course, all the computers and sensors have to be lightweight so they fit on the aircraft.
To tackle these challenges, we bring to bear a range of technologies:
- Control systems, including robust and fault tolerant control
- Motion planning, trajectory optimization and their inclusion in predictive control
- Flight dynamics modelling and simulation
- Bio-inspired approaches from the study of bird flight
- Computer vision, especially embedded systems, SLAM and intelligent exploitation of sensors
- Systems integration, bringing all these things together to deliver a useful capability
We collaborate with a range of companies and researchers to investigate novel uses for aerial robots. Examples include:
- Tracing of radiation
This video shows the work of the RISER project led by Blue Bear Systems. The demonstration included the implementation of Bristol's visual SLAM algorithms on board Blue Bear's UAV.

SEATTLE, WA, and QUEBEC CITY, QC, April 9, 2013 – IDRI (Infectious Disease Research Institute), a Seattle-based non-profit research organization that is a leading developer of adjuvants used in vaccines combating infectious disease, and Medicago Inc. (TSX: MDG; OTCQX: MDCGF), a biopharmaceutical company focused on developing highly effective and competitive vaccines based on proprietary manufacturing technologies and Virus-Like Particles (VLPs), today announced that they will be presenting positive interim Phase I clinical results for their H5N1 Avian Influenza VLP vaccine candidate "H5N1 vaccine" at the World Vaccine Congress. The meeting is being held at the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center in Washington, DC, April 16-18, 2013.
Dr. Steven Reed, Founder, President, & Chief Scientific Officer, IDRI, and Dr. Brian Ward, Professor of Medicine & Microbiology, McGill University, member of Medicago's scientific advisory committee, will be presenting at the World Vaccine Congress on April 17, 2013, at 2:35 p.m. EST. The presentation, titled "H5N1 Phase 1 clinical trial combining Medicago's VLP vaccine with IDRI's GLA adjuvant formulation," will discuss preliminary safety and immunology data from the ongoing H5N1 vaccine clinical trial.
The Phase I clinical trial, which commenced in September 2012, enrolled 100 healthy adult volunteers, aged 18-49 years, at three locations in the U.S., testing for safety and immune response. The vaccine was also tested in comparison to Medicago's H5N1 vaccine with alum. The trial is funded by a multi-million dollar grant IDRI received from the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), a division of the United States Department of Defense, to investigate the safety and immunogenicity of a novel adjuvant with a Nicotiana benthamiana produced vaccine candidate. Each study participant in the trial received two doses of a given formulation in order to collect and compare data.
The trial focused on evaluating the safety and immunogenicity of the H5N1 vaccine, combined with IDRI's Glucopyranosyl Lipid A ("GLA") adjuvant, which was administered intramuscularly or intradermally. The intradermal route of administration was also tested in comparison with intramuscular delivery, using an FDA licensed device (MicronJet600®, NanoPass Technologies) as the micro-needle device was previously shown in seasonal and pandemic flu tests to allow significant dose sparing. This study is among the first to test intradermal adjuvants.
"This trial is an important step toward development of an influenza vaccine that could be rapidly and widely administered in case of a pandemic outbreak," said Reed.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the highly pathogenic avian influenza A (H5N1) virus is a deadly virus that occurs mainly in birds including domestic poultry. Though relatively rare, sporadic human infections with this virus have occurred and caused serious illness and death. Because of the unpredictability of pandemic flu, efforts are being made to create and stockpile a vaccine to combat H5N1 that reduces the amount of vaccine needed per person and can be easily administered.
The H5N1 vaccine candidate includes IDRI's GLA adjuvant, which has been exclusively licensed to Immune Design Corp. for certain fields, including influenza, and is produced in Medicago's plant-based expression system, which is speedier than the traditional route of producing flu vaccines in eggs. The adjuvant system has been combined with Medicago's vaccine candidate and other recombinant protein antigens to elicit both humoral and cell-mediated immune responses associated with protection in pathogenic animal challenge models. In animal studies, GLA has also been shown to expand the cross reactivity of antibodies induced by the H5N1 vaccine to other potential pandemic influenza strains such as H2N2.
About IDRI
As a nonprofit global health organization, IDRI (Infectious Disease Research Institute) takes a comprehensive approach to combat infectious diseases, combining the high-quality science of a research organization with the product development capabilities of a biotech company to create new diagnostics, drugs and vaccines. IDRI combines passion for improving human health with the understanding that it is not just what our scientists know about disease, but what we do to change its course that will have the greatest impact. Founded in 1993, IDRI has 125 employees headquartered in Seattle with more than 50 partners/collaborators around the world. For more information, visitwww.idri.org.
About Medicago
Medicago is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel vaccines and therapeutic proteins to address a broad range of infectious diseases worldwide. The Company is committed to providing highly effective and competitive vaccines and therapeutic proteins based on its proprietary VLP and manufacturing technologies. Medicago is a worldwide leader in the development of VLP vaccines using a transient expression system which produces recombinant vaccine antigens in plants. This technology has potential to offer more potent vaccines with speed and cost advantages over competitive technologies, enabling the development of a vaccine for testing in approximately one month after the identification and reception of genetic sequences from a pandemic strain. This production time frame has the potential to allow vaccination of the population before the first wave of a pandemic, and supply large volumes of vaccine antigens to the world market. Medicago also intends to expand development into other areas such as biosimilars and biodefense products where the benefits of our technologies can make a significant difference. Additional information about Medicago is available at www.medicago.com.
About NanoPass Technologies Ltd.
NanoPass is the developer of MicronJet600™, an FDA-registered intradermal microneedles device. NanoPass has concluded the world's first intradermal pandemic (H1N1) flu vaccine clinical study and additional seasonal flu studies, demonstrating equivalent or superior immunogenicity to standard intramuscular delivery using only 20% of the dose.

This book came out last year, and a lovely one it is too. Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery by Martha Swift and Lisa Thomas published by Kyle Cathie Limited in 2010. I had this one pre-ordered, and have looked through it often, but it was only at the beginning of this summer that I started cooking from it. I've never been to the actual Primrose Bakery itself in London…well yet anyhow, one day I hope. Until then I am happy – more than happy to have their cookbook on my shelves and to be able to cook from it in my kitchen.
The book itself is a nice pale primrose yellow in colour, a nice touch I thought. Its chapters are ~Basic Cupcakes~ Basic Icings~ Festive and Seasonal~ Special Occasions~ Weddings~ Beyond Cupcakes~ Decorations~ and finally Techniques and Equipment~. There is also a handy stockists page at the back for UK shops and websites. The book is full of mainly cupcakes, but with a few cakes at the back too. Beautiful pictures that just make you want to pick them up off the page and eat. It is undoubtedly a good thing that I can't eat a bit of each of them in one go! Cute little line drawings throughout as well.
Here are some of the cakes I have marked to try: Orange Cupcakes with Orange Blossom Icing, Ginger Cupcakes with Ginger Fudge Icing, Caramel Cupcakes, Vanilla Cupcakes with Lime and Coconut Buttercream and the one I'm going to try next, Chocolate Orange Cupcakes.
I tried three out and they were all great, but if I had to play favourites it would be the Raspberry and White Chocolate cupcakes they were very good indeed!
Strawberry and Cream Cupcakes
Strawberry flavoured sponge, strawberry jam filling and vanilla icing. I added some strawberry extract to the icing and made it pink, but I am a tinkerer. Lovely, very Summery.
Lemon Cupcakes with Lemon Buttercream Icing
A good lemon hit and cute too. I made these as mini cupcakes.
Raspberry Cupcakes with White Chocolate Buttercream Icing
Delicious. Raspberry filled and white chocolate icing, just perfect. The world is a better place with a batch of these under your cake dome, or in your tins!
Raspberry Cupcakes with White Chocolate Buttercream Icing
Adapted Slightly from Cupcakes from the Primrose Bakery by Martha Swift and Lisa Thomas published 2010.
110g Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
180g Caster Sugar
2 large Eggs
125g Self-raising Flour, sifted
120g Plain Flour, sifted
125ml milk at room temperature (semi skimmed)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 tablespoons raspberry jam (I like Dalfour)
(1)Preheat the oven to 160 F fan / 180 F / 350 C / Gas mark 4. Line a 12 hole muffin tray with big cases.
(2) Cream the butter and sugar (I use my mixer with the paddle attachment) until light, pale and smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, mixing for a few minutes after each goes in. Meanwhile sift the flours into a bowl and in a jug mix the milk and vanilla.
(3)Add one third of the flour to the butter mixture, then one third of the milk mixing just to incorporate each. Do this twice more with each until all the flour and milk is used. Fold in the raspberry jam (stirring the jam first to loosen if you need to) to give a good rippled effect. Spoon or scoop the mixture into the 12 waiting cases. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until cooked.
(4) Leave in the tins for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
30g Unsalted Butter, at room temperature
15ml Milk, also at room temperature (semi skimmed)
Drop or two of Vanilla Extract
125g Icing Sugar, sifted
100g good white chocolate (I use Lindt)
3 tablespoons Double Cream
Filling for cakes, 1 teaspoon raspberry jam per cake
Final Topping: Fresh Raspberries 12 to 24
(1)In a food mixer with the whisk attachment (for ease) whisk the butter, vanilla, milk and half the sugar for a few minutes until smooth. Gradually add the remaining icing sugar, beating well between each addition.
(2) Melt the white chocolate, either in short (20 second) bursts in the microwave or on top of a pan of barely simmering water on the cooker top – take care that the water does not touch the bowl. Leave to cool a bit.
(3) Once cooled add the chocolate and cream to the vanilla icing that you have made to turn it into white chocolate icing.
(4) Make a hole in the middle of each cupcake big enough to take the teaspoon of raspberry jam, then top with the white chocolate icing. Finally place a raspberry or two on top.
Note: if you make this icing ahead it will need to be kept in the fridge due to the cream, beat well before using if you do this.

This article is one of many that spoke strongly against the growing number immigrants from what were seen as "less desirable" countries. In particular, many articles argued that immigrants from southern or eastern Europe and Jews were inherently unfit to enter the U.S. This article claims that a literacy test would shut out many from those countries, "a large share" of whom, it asserts, "are absolutely illiterate." Its reasoning is that illiterate immigrants were poorer and would never assimilate. But these claims mask a larger agenda: that all immigrants from these regions (literate or not) are "a pretty indigestible lump," that could never assimilate. These claims have proven to be entirely unfounded, as millions of Americans of Italian, Polish, or any other descent can demonstrate. The bill referred to here requiring a literacy test passed Congress but was vetoed, as had been the 1896 bill. In 1917 Congress did pass a literacy test bill over the veto of President Woodrow Wilson. Bills passed in 1924 and again in 1926 drastically restricted all immigration into the U.S.

Date: 6/15/2009 11:15 pm EDT
I've laid all of my Avaire tile (clicked together), but have yet to grout it ... the reason being is that when I walk on the avaire tile I can hear a "creaking" from the the plastic clips. The floor is completely level and my installation was done properly ... I've have a solid skill set regarding tile installation, but this is the 1st time with avaire. Will this noise go away after the grouting? Please advise. Thank you.

Volume 58 is now available!
Order Your Copy Today!
Volume 58 of West Virginia History will interest Civil War historians and genealogical researchers alike. Thousands of West Virginians served in local state militia and home guard companies, protecting Union property and pursuing Confederate guerillas. Their role in the war, as well as postwar efforts to compensate these citizen-soldiers and document their service, are surveyed in a short introduction. Information compiled on members of companies in four counties Barbour, Boone, Braxton, and Brooke includes rank, unit, company, age, and other remarks on military service. The list contains names from the West Virginia State Archives online militia database. Researchers will also find a large number of additional names extracted from records of the West Virginia State Service Commission, created in 1901 to examine claims for compensation by members of these local units. Information found in these latter records is made available for the first time in this issue of West Virginia History.
The impact on West Virginia of late-nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century industrialization is the subject of two other offerings in Volume 58. In Clarksburg and Moundsville, the growth of the glass industry attracted significant numbers of foreign-born workers, who altered the ethnic, cultural, and political character of the two communities. Other parts of the state experienced industrial development in different, but equally profound, ways. In Transforming the Appalachian Countryside, Ronald L. Lewis examined the impact railroad building and large-scale lumbering had on the state's backcountry regions. During the 1999 Appalachian Studies Association conference, a group of scholars critiqued Lewis's book. Their comments appear in this issue.
West Virginia History also looks at U.S. Senator Peter G. Van Winkle and his role in the impeachment trial of Andrew Johnson. Van Winkle was one of a small group of Republican senators to vote with Democrats and Johnson Conservatives for the president's acquittal.
Since 1939, West Virginia History has featured some of the best scholarship on the economic, political, social, and cultural history of West Virginia and the Appalachian region. West Virginia History also reviews the latest books on state and regional history. West Virginia History, Volume 58, is available for the subscription fee of $12 per year in the U.S. or $15 per year outside the U.S. To receive your copy, return the order form with your check or money order. Checks or money orders should be made payable to "West Virginia Archives and History" and sent to Archives and History Section, The Cultural Center, 1900 Kanawha Boulevard East, Charleston, WV 25305-0300.

BOSTON, Mass. - One week after a record performance at the All-New England Championship, the nationally-ranked no. three MIT women's cross country team returned to Franklin Park and picked up where it left off at the Saints Invitational hosted by Emmanuel College. The Engineers recorded a perfect team score of 15, as all five of the top scoring finishes belonged to the Cardinal and Grey.
Katherine Eve broke the tape in 18:50.34, 26 seconds ahead of teammate Tania Morimoto, who took second. Eve's time was a personal best at MIT's home course. And the sixth fastest in program history After an Emmanuel alumna came across in third, the next three finishers were all Tech harriers. Alicia Kaestli's time of 19:40.77 was good for fourth. She was followed by Lauren Allen (19:54.04) and Juliann Lajoie (20:06.45).
MIT's team total of 15 was well ahead of second-place Wheaton, which finished with 98 points.
The Engineers will take next week off before taking aim at their third straight New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship on October 31. The meet will also be held at Franklin Park and the women's race begins at 12:00 p.m., following the men at 11:00 a.m.

DescriptionFlight Path 737 is a flight simulator or as the cover says an "advanced pilot trainer". The player is the pilot of a jet airliner and his task is to take of from an airport, climb over the mountains that surrounds it and then land safely on an airfield in the valleys below. The player only gets one chance as there is only enough fuel for one landing. The game is played from a first person perspective and the screen is split into two parts: a landscape view at the top and the instrument panel below. The instrument panel shows all the information that is needed such as altitude, speed and artificial horizon. The game can be played on six different skill levels. Each level adds more complexity to the task. On the first level the mountains are 5000 ft. high and the runway is three miles long but for each level the mountains get higher and the runway gets shorter. On the most difficult level the mountains are 9200 ft. and the runway is only 1.5 miles. Each level also adds more tasks that have to be taken care. On level 2 the engine can catch fire, while level 3 require smoother landing. Level 4 to 6 add crosswinds and require reverse thrust when landing.

Hair Stylist Video Review!
Learn About Hair Types
Here is a quick guide that will make you an expert on choosing the right virgin remy in no time!
First of all, regardless of what type of virgin hair that you buy, Wealthy Hair has taken proper care during the harvesting of the hair from the donor and while wefting the hair. There will be very minimal tangling and/or shedding.
If you are starting out, we highly recommend going with Virgin Brazilian because it blends easily with many hair textures, is very durable, straightens easily (if you use a flat iron) and holds curls for a long time.
- Virgin Brazilian Remy– This is our best selling type of virgin hair because not only is it very soft, very durable, it is also ideal for a full look, as the Brazilian hair has a thick hair strand. Virgin Brazilian hair is also very easy to blend with for African Americans regardless of their natural hair texture. We highly recommend Virgin Brazilian for women who have relaxed hair or are transitioning to their natural hair and need something that looks natural on them. Because of it's density, Virgin Brazilian will hold curls for a long time as well.
- Virgin Malaysian Remy- It is very light weight and soft. It is our second most popular type of virgin remy after the Virgin Brazilian Remy. Virgin Malaysian is silkier than Brazilian Remy. It blends very well with African American hair and also the hair of people of Asian heritage. It is also very popular with celebrities such as Beyonce.
- Virgin Peruvian Remy– This is our silkiest virgin remy that we offer and it is popular for people that are looking for natural straight or relaxed yaki hair textures. It is also very light and you can easily wear many bundles without it weighing down your head. It does not swell too much and it straightens very easily when a flat iron is used.
- Virgin Indian Remy– Virgin Indian remy is hair that is donated to Indian temples and the donors are usually from India. Virgin Indian remy is very versatile and easily blends with African American, Caucasian and Asian hair textures. It is more course than both Virgin Peruvian Remy and Virgin Malaysian Remy.
If you are unsure about what type to get, call us at 1-855-500-4321, chat online, or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com and we will be glad to help!

Happy Friday!
Today I was able to see gorgeous waves AND a giant rainbow--all in one day.
Had to share them with you.
Nauset light beach in Eastham, MA. Just one of my surfing buds out today. Water temp. 64-66? I think.
Nauset light beach again. This is where I walk to strengthen my quads. The sand is deep, yet soft, so it's easy on the knees. Funny how this end of the cape was dark and cloudy and the other end was sunny.
And now closer to home, the rainbow we saw tonight was absolutely stunning and thick too. Never saw a rainbow width that wide before (if that makes sense). This was taken at town neck beach--boardwalk side.
Here is the other end of the rainbow. Hard to see, but it's in the middle of the two houses. This is when I wish I had one of those fancy zoom lens cameras. The sunsets on cape cod are memorable.
Today is the last day of summer. Booo.
I'm sad. I'm a sun-loving water girl; I hate to see summer go.
When I was younger I loved the fall and loved the snow in winter
Now any weather under 80 degrees and I'm frozen.
Could be old age, who knows. I do know for a fact, that come February I get a small case of the blues--SAD (seasonal affective disorder).
This is one of the reasons hubby is working so hard (god bless and love him) to get us back out to cali.
No snow there and plenty of sunshine.
I would be curious to know if any of my readers suffer from SAD?
What do you do to keep it at bay or minimize it?
I up my fish oil, stay outside more since they say even being outside even if it's cloudy the outside/sky illuminations helps the brain.
My friend has made coconut cupcakes with marshmallow creme frosting. I adore coconut cupcakes.
She has one of those fancy schmancy cameras and is quite good with it too.
How 1-hour on Sundays will change your life. What do you think?
Photo booth art from around the world.
Carole Feuerman sculptures. Hand painted resin sculptures that look exactly like humans.
You have to see her work.
How to make Jello worms (just in time for Halloween).
Interesting. Saw this at Whole Foods. Had no idea that Kale had that much Vitamin C. Did you?
What your belly fat really means.
Why CrossFit is getting popular with women.
Oh I love this! Getting the best hamstring stretch.
And for those of you who love to stretch moreso than working out, this new book maybe for you. Ballet Beautiful. I firmly believe that stretching is a great way to strengthen and tone up the body.
Ballet Beautiful is great book! I highly recommend this if you want to be more flexible and want a change up from your yoga routine. Definitely not as hard as the NYC Ballet Workout book. Remember that one? Oh that was hard.
Read an interview with Jennifer Graham, author of "Honey, do you need a ride? Confessions of a fat runner".

Gorgeous pics you took today and I know what you mean about wishing you had a certain lens at a certain time - invariably, whenever I leave my camera at home, that's when I see like 80899 super cool things all in like an hour :)ReplyDelete
I, too, think the bee pollen is hype. Regarding the arsenic & rice, Consumer Reports is just catching up ... http://www.nature.com/news/2005/050801/full/news050801-5.html Until DDT, arsenic was the pesticide of choice for lots of things like cotton, apple orchards, etc. http://soils.tfrec.wsu.edu/leadhistory.htm Unfortunately the residual stays in the soil. My house, in Pennsylvania, is on land that used to be one of the state's largest orchards. We've always had public water from a local artesian well, but homes in the next township had well water found to have high amounts of arsenic. :-(ReplyDelete
Personally I'm old and still love the change of seasons. We even go places where the seasons are even more extreme than our own. If I could afford it, I'd move to Trondheim, Norway.
In france, a lot of people suffer from what you call SAD. It's very known. The less sunlight have something to deal with our bad feelings.ReplyDelete
I'm lucky : i live in the east south of france and there's a lot of sun.
I understand each person who suffer from this "disease".
Beautiful pictures!ReplyDelete
I'm with you on the SAD thing... I grew up in FL but now live in TN where there are actual seasons. Seasons are lovely, but the whole gray/brown vista takes a real toll on me by late January or early February. I try to be outside more during those months and run or hike or do SOMETHING cardio-ish several times a week. That, and my husband arranges for me to go "home" to FL for a few days when I start to turn into a grizzly after too many days without sunshine!
On a side note, I had a dream last night where I was hunting down blue gummi bears. I wonder what that meant!?!
I love those pictures, especially the first one with the rainbow! The 10 bunkers were pretty funky and I really want to make that diy pumpkin spice latte - yum!ReplyDelete

Learn more about Muslim Immigrants
At a December 7th campaign stop in South Carolina, Presidential candidate Donald Trump called for a "total and complete shutdown" of Muslims entering the country. The announcement sparked outrage from across the political spectrum with Republicans and Democrats both deeming it unconstitutional. Proponents argue that the government has little idea who is entering the U.S. through its current immigration system and that a temporary ban on Muslims is necessary after the terrorist attack in California. Opponents argue that the proposed ban is unconstitutional and racist towards Muslims. See recent Muslim immigrants news

What I didn't realize was how weird it is to have someone discuss your blog. Melissa didn't just show my blog and say how awesome I am and move to the next blog. Oh no, she analyzed all the features on my blog. Here's where you can subscribe to Tina's blog. Here's where you can follow Tina's blog. Here's where you can see all the categories on Tina's blog. Here's the surname page on Tina's blog. Here's the archive on Tina's blog.
Looking at my blog and all the features of it on the big screen got me thinking.
- Why was my archive set up on a weekly basis? That was find back in the beginning when there wasn't much time elapsed on the blog. But it makes more sense to set the archive by month now.
- Should my categories by listed by frequency (as they are now) or in alphabetical order? Or in a cloud (even if Melissa isn't a fan)?
- When was the last time I updated my surnames page? And why haven't I set it up like on my husband's blog with the area where they lived?
So I went home from the class and did a little blog tweaking. Even the crasher learned something.
[It is also really fun to tweet while crashing a genealogy blog class. Then the presenter gets emails asking her what she's doing with other people's blogs.]

January 15, 2011
Two nights of trouble
It began last night. We bought fresh rotini pasta and marinara, and while it's not a perfect match, I thought why not try the 1996 Ca Rome Barbaresco Maria di Brun. Picked two up at auction a while back, the first was oxidized and I was suspicious of this one. Looked fine, should have been fine, but wasn't. Damn.
So we dial back for some "everyday" Barolo, which readers should remember well. The 2006 Reverdito Barolo that I wrote about last fall that was available locally for well under $20. Absurd pricing for real, even if entry-level Barolo. Wouldn't you know it. Corked. That unmistakable scent of mildew from improperly processed cork.
That's where I draw the line. So out comes the 2005 Paolina Chianti Classico that we picked up dirt cheap when Whole Foods opened in our neighborhood a while back. Nothing fancy, but good honest Chianti with a little extra richness than usual. Perfect with the meal and obviously what I should have started with. Barolo and Barbaresco needs something more, though my rule with wine and food matching starts with wine you like with food you like. You don't need to get fancy with matching.
So tonight we're making our version of enchiladas - vegetarian, with mushrooms and spinach. Meaning, it's not actual Mexican food and to be honest, not my favorite and certainly not something I look forward to on a weekend night. What's the right wine match for Mexican food? Beer. But I like slightly sweet white wines, and they do well with spicy food. So why not throw caution to the wind?
I opened the 2005 Tessier Cour-Cheverny That's off-dry wine from the romorantin grape in a somewhat obscure appellation of France's Loire valley. I had this on release and it was delicious. Tonight, from a bottle that was already in the fridge, it smelled a little odd, tasted ok and then...bleeech. Sour yogurt. Clearly something biological in this bottle, turning a not quite right wine to something vile and immediately poured down the drain.
Oh well. Pffft. Wait, what's that? Oh yes, the sweet, sweet sound of beer bottles being uncapped. Oregon's own Heater Allen brewing out of McMinnville. Isarweizen, for those who care. Clearly I should have known better and started here. Will remember for next time, no doubt.

Sorry I've been such a stranger-- my Dad passed away last November afer a year of accelerating decline. I haven't asked you to ship my futures because I'd really like to visit. Mid-March, possibly, after I deal with a bunch'a stuff in CA. I have difficult feet & I'd like to buy a pair of hiking boots from Danner, then take a train East & open a couple bottles for my birthday with my NY buddies.

Hey, good to hear from you. Yes, there's a purpose even in these odd bottles.
Sorry about your dad. Sadly I have experience there. Hope you can make it out here, but just let me know what you want to do.

Electronic Tape Measures
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2014 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
February 28, 2014
I visited several big-box stores and my local hardware store to collect information for this article on electronic tape measures. The dust on top of some of the packages was pretty thick, and there was a distinct lack of customer support information from the sales staff. Do the manufacturers know something the retail world doesn't? To help answer that question, I did a quick survey of people in the energy auditor business. I was surprised to learn that only about half of the auditors I surveyed used electronic measuring tools. I think the technology may be ahead of the market. If you are going to invest in one of these devices, it is important to know how you intend to use the tool before you buy it.

- For each serving: you'll need:
- 1 Tblsp. chive and onion flavored cream cheese
- 1 Tblsp. cold butter
- 1 boneless skinless chicken breast
- 1 slice of bacon or turkey bacon
- dried tarragon
- salt and pepper
- In a zip lock bag or between 2 pieces of plastic wrap, pound chicken breast until it's all the same thickness, about ½ inch.
- Spread 1 Tblsp. of cream cheese over each chicken breast. Top with 1 Tblsp. butter.
- Season with salt, pepper and a sprinkle of tarragon.
- Roll up each piece, wrap with a slice of bacon, secure with a tooth pick.
- Place, seam side down, on a baking sheet.
- Bake at 400 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes, or until juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Terri's Notes
~ Adding dried chives and onion powder to cream cheese works in a pinch.
~ 1/2 Tblsp. of butter worked out well for me. You decide?
~ No tarragon? I'd like a sprinkle of garlic or basil, but you can make these to YOUR taste!

Rookie Buchanan has best start of his career
ST. LOUIS -- Ryne Sandberg's laugh filled the small manager's office deep below Busch Stadium on Thursday night when he heard the question come out.
Could he believe, he was asked, that the Phillies hadn't won four consecutive games in more than a year?View Full Game Coverage
ST. LOUIS -- Ryne Sandberg's laugh filled the small manager's office deep below Busch Stadium on Thursday night when he heard the question come out.
Could he believe, he was asked, that the Phillies hadn't won four consecutive games in more than a year?View Full Game Coverage
"You've mentioned that a couple times," Sandberg said, beginning to laugh. "It is remarkable."
The Phillies broke that forgettable stretch with a 4-1 win over the Cardinals, giving them their first four-game winning streak since last June 2-6 when they won five straight.
In winning eight of their last 10 games, the Phillies have inched within five games of .500 for the first time since May 31 and within four games of first place in the National League East for the first time since May 30.
Fresh off a three-game sweep of Atlanta to begin this seven-game road trip, Thursday's win came with the help of Ryan Howard's return to his hometown and rookie starter David Buchanan's best performance of his young career.
"This entire stretch of a road trip, starting off in Atlanta, coming here, it's two really tough ballclubs," Howard said. "For [Buchanan] to come out here, especially in St. Louis, it's not an easy place to come into and play and do well. We did just that."
Buchanan, who struggled with leaving pitches up in his first five starts, allowing seven home runs, ran into no such problems against the Cardinals.
The right-hander faced the minimum in five of his 7 2/3 innings and remained calm when he did face a threat in the sixth.
After Buchanan's counterpart, Shelby Miller, led the inning off with a double into left-center and moved to third with two outs, Buchanan got Cardinals left fielder Matt Holliday to fly out to center to end the threat.
"I think he rose to the occasion," Sandberg said. "He has that kind of makeup and that kind of character. He seems to be showing improvement and he seems to be adjusting as he's gone along. It looks like he's growing out there."
Buchanan had plenty of run support thanks to Howard, who returned to play at Busch Stadium for the first time since 2011 after being injured in each of the past two seasons.
The Phillies got on the board in the fourth after Carlos Ruiz hit a leadoff double to right and moved to third on a single by Chase Utley. Howard took a first-pitch fastball to right to score the team's first run, and Utley came around to score the second on a sacrifice fly by Domonic Brown to right.
His big hit would come in the sixth with Utley on first. Howard took a fastball the other way down the left-field line, and the ball scraped over the fence for a two-run homer.
"I wasn't sure if the ball was going to stay fair or not," Howard said. "Off the bat it started to slice and then I wasn't sure if it was going to go out. I thought it was going to land right in front of [the wall] or in front of the 336[-foot mark] down there. I was a little surprised, but I'm not mad at it."
The ball in fact flew 340 feet over the fence to give Howard his third home run during the team's four-game winning streak.
"He's on a good roll for us," Sandberg said. "He's played big for us in the last four wins putting a crooked number up there and swinging a good bat."
The Phillies' offense has outscored its opponents 48-23 in winning eight of their last 10 games. The four runs provided for Buchanan on Thursday were plenty.
The rookie wouldn't allow a run until there were two gone in the eighth. After walking the leadoff hitter, Buchanan got a popout before a soft grounder moved the runner to second.
A line drive to right brought in the Cardinals lone run and ended Buchanan's night after 7 2/3 innings. He allowed the lone run on four hits and a walk.
"[Ruiz] called a great game," Buchanan said. "Me and him were on the same page, we were working the ball in and out. The main thing I was trying to focus on was keeping the ball down, not letting the ball get elevated on me."
"He hit his spots and kept us off balance," Cardinals second baseman Kolten Wong added. "When you can throw strikes with three pitches, he's definitely tough to beat."
Jake Diekman retired the final hitter of the eighth before Jonathan Papelbon pitched a clean ninth to close out his 17th game of the season.
More importantly, the win ended a yearlong stretch of three-game winning streaks staying just that.
"Well, hopefully we don't go another year before that happens," Howard said when he heard the news. "I guess now we've got another goal to try and go for."

Oh, dear. That scene is dreadful. "Kill him! Stick an arrow in his gob." "No! We need information!"
A travesty of Tolkien's moral vision, even worse than beheading the Mouth of Sauron.
solicitr wrote:I suppose on a moral or ethical plane people could debate which crime was worse (although both, to Tolkien, would clearly be crimes)- but Saruman was both a major character in the narrative, and one of the great persons of middle earth- in the book, Frodo spares Saruman (even after S attempted to murder him)- "He was great once, of a noble kind that we should not dare to raise our hands against. He is fallen, and his cure is beyond us; but I would still spare him, in the hope that he may find it."
A long way from "Stick an arrow in his gob," is it not? Especially Saruman's response, rounding out a dialogue which I fear is beyond PJ's comprehension: "You have grown, Halfling... You are wise, and cruel. You have robbed my revenge of sweetness, and now I must go hence in bitterness, in debt to your mercy. I hate it and you!"
Gandalf'sMother wrote:Gorgoroth_101 wrote:I love the scene with the Mouth of Sauron, such a weird character I don't know if it should have been in the film, but I think the Saruman scene at the start of ROTK should have been in.
The Mouth of Sauron should have been in the film, but should not have looked, sounded and acted as it did in the film. A pompous man, as in the book, would have been much more effective.

The Jamaican sprint king has not lost the 200m at a major championship in more than five years. Looking to dethrone Bolt will be his good friend and rival, American Wallace Spearmon Jr., a two-time Olympian who has collected three world championship medals in the 200m. Americans Isiah Young and Curtis Mitchell, who have both clocked sub-20 second times this year in the 200m, will also be contenders.
NBC's Olympic track and field broadcast team of Ato Boldon, Tom Hammond, Lewis Johnson, Dwight Stones and Craig Masback will call the action from Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow, home of the 1980 Olympic Games.
