Chicken Cacciatore - The Official Recipe of Bad Italian Hunters
Are you telling me the proud, cunning hunters of Italy have allowed their official dish to use chicken as the main ingredient? Where's the dangerous wild boar? How about hard-to-shoot pheasant? I mean how hard is it to hunt chicken? My hunting skills are only slightly better than Paris Hilton, yet I could shoot a damn chicken.
Sorry to have to call you out, Italy. Don't feel too bad; you still have your cooks, artists, lovers, and opera singers to be proud of. All that being said, chicken cacciatore is a very delicious dish, and this video recipe shows my favorite version. Enjoy!
2 tbsp olive oil
1 whole roasting chicken, cut in quarters
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
1 large onion, sliced (so they hold together, slice the onions "with the grain" in the same direction as the lines of the onion, instead of across the onion like they are usually sliced)
8 oz fresh mushrooms, quartered
4 cloves garlic, sliced
3 springs rosemary
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes, or to taste
1 cup tomato sauce
1/2 cup water
2 red bell peppers, sliced
2 green bell peppers, sliced

"with the grain" vs "across the grain", sliced garlic vs chopped/crushed garlic; is there a taste difference in the end result?
If not (which I suspect there isn't), why one way and not the other?

First, I tried making this dish few weeks ago with another recipe....the result was heart burn disaster, I'm gonna have to try your recipe now! Its amazing how you magically guess the recipes that im currently experimenting with......any chance you're gonna do beef stroganoff any time soon?
Also, as the legend goes, if a hunter came home without catching any food, his wife would kill a chicken and make this dish....so in that sense it is the stew of bad hunters, not to mention kinda castrating if you think of the symbolism of that chicken.....
- December 19, 2008 at 11:51 AM

heartburn is probably from tomatoes and peppers, not the recipe, but good luck. Yes, the metaphorical significance of the name is interesting. Thanks!
- December 19, 2008 at 12:15 PM

Susanna, onions cut with the grain will not disintegrate and will stay visible. Garlic that's sliced is more mellow that crushed garlic since crushing releases more of the sharp flavor compounds. Thanks

Hi Chef John,
Thanks for this wonderful recipe! It has become my weekly staple weekend meal. Both hubby and I love it! It usually lasts us for 3 meals and I will prepare the first with pasta, 2nd with garlic bread and lastly turning it into omurice (japanese dish - omulette rice).

Chef, I found your Cacciatore excellent. I really like your videos, your knowledge and your sense of humor.
I have learned much from you and will just say thanks and Enjoy!!!!
- May 6, 2010 at 3:31 PM
Chef John, if I wanted to double the amount of chicken in the recipe, how much longer would I need to cook the chicken in the oven?
- February 3, 2011 at 2:35 PM
- Chef John said...
Sorry, can't tell you, id have to test. Just cook it until it is all done and fork tender! :-)
- February 4, 2011 at 10:07 AM
well shizzle....I didn't know I could put my le creuset with the black top handle lid in the oven....
- April 14, 2011 at 4:15 PM
Wonderful tasty dish. I like my sauce a little more concentrated so may remove the top at the one hour mark to promote some dehydration.

If Italian "cacciatore" is anything like the spanish "cazadora", I think it was originally made with rabbit... So don't judge those poor italian hunters, it's not their fault that some lazy person started using chicken instead of rabbit!

do i realy have to use le creuset? i dont have that.can i use a caserole instead?

I gave this a go last night. I was craving some. I didn't have mushrooms on hand and I used boneless skinless chicken tenders but it still turned out great. The chicken was very tender and moist. I also used my cast iron skillet. There wasn't any leftovers. I'll be making this again later this week but with mushrooms.

The Naked Close
We sell high end information products to business owners and career professionals to facilitate them with tools to increase their revenue through higher sales conversion rates.
Slogan: Riveting Sales Solutions. Weapons of Innovative Execution.
Also include the small "TM" after the logo.
I want to come from a fresh, clean, sophisticated and new generation approach like Apple, but since it is a brand about ultimately creating wealth through sales, I want to come from a very strong, stable, and value oriented energy as well (such as a bank). I am younger than most of my target audience, which are men and women business owners 30+. I am a successful entrepreneur now but I am a former exotic dancer (yes stripper), which is why I chose, "The Naked Close," as a play on words - but I don't want something as drastic as a naked girl in the logo! So, naked in a literal sense, but also coming from a "naked truth" sense of value and authenticity. My product is riveting because it has revealed for the first time in history how people really tick from behind the scenes confessions in the champagne room - takes the technical concepts of sales psychology to a whole new level - but is professional and respectful and a brand that will ultimately be worth millions. I also used to be a college professor and I have a masters degree in music, and the dancing is what really differentiated all of that. With that being said, I want the word "NAKED" to be emphasized creatively and to captivate my audience to realize the double entendre, but I do not want to overplay it because then it is just trashy and second rate. At the same time, I'm building my business in California which is a very progressive minded state, and eventually I'll be doing business nation wide, but as we all know, California is the leader in innovation and everyone else ends up following suit to what we are all out to up here!
I would rather have "The Naked Close" in the logo as we are branding that name - and also include the same version of the logo as "The Naked Close.com" as we will brand the website as well.

On my journey to find a new place to take my dog on walks during the summer and sit outside with her to have a beer.. I discovered there were no places within walking distance to sit outside with a beer..
But.. in the same journey I found a little hole in the wall bar called "Farmers" that is a pit friendly establishment. The bar manager has two pits and he let me bring the dog in, and even filled up a bowl of water for her. So even if your dog is not dog park/bar appropriate this is another establishment that should be supported. The manager is a great advocate for the breed, and dogs in general. It's definately a dive bar (which are my personal favorite bars) but has nice TV's, a dart board and a pool table.

This week, moviegoers will see Zach Galifianakis and Will Ferrell square off in 'The Campaign.' Of course, Americans have been watching Barack Obama and Mitt Romney go at it for months now, not to mention the grueling Republican Primary season which has been going on basically since Obama was elected in 2008. Politics are now truly a part of everyday life, and unfortunately, it doesn't look like they're going anywhere.
With that in mind, today on FilmWeek we'll take some time to look at the world of political films. Campaigns, the Cold War and even movies about lobbying will all be covered by guest host David Lazarus and our KPCC critics. What are you favorite political movies of all time? What do the good ones get right and the bad ones get wrong? Can these movies be both informed and entertaining?
Andy Klein, film critic for KPCC and the L.A. Times Community Papers chain
Peter Rainer, film critic for KPCC and the Christian Science Monitor
Next week, The Hammer Museum is kicking off a series of free political movie screenings with the documentary 'Primary,' chronicling John F. Kennedy and Hubert Humphrey as they vie in Wisconsin to be the contender against Richard Nixon. More information can be found here.

Thread: Facebook Drops Conservative Ad.
Results 1 to 2 of 2
#1 Facebook Drops Conservative Ad.02-12-2009, 11:31 AMFacebook Removes Conservative Groups Anti-Stimulus Petition
Thursday, February 12, 2009
By Edwin Mora
Facebook offices (AP photo)(CNSNews.com) Facebook, one of the Internets top social networking sites, has kicked out a conservative groups Web site --NoStimulus.com -- from its paid advertising space.
NoStimulus.com, which is promoting a petition to stop President Obamas economic stimulus bill, is sponsored by the nonprofit conservative group Americans for Prosperity.
Phil Kerpen, national policy director for Americans for Prosperity, said the paid ad had been running for days on Facebook with no problem.
They had already screened it and approved it, says Kerpen.
The petition featured in NoStimulus.com allows for those who oppose the stimulus bill to voice their objections, which are then sent to their respective lawmakers.
Congress should not enact an expensive spending bill under the pretense of stimulus or recovery, reads the petition. We cannot spend our way to prosperity, and such an expansion of the federal government will put a crushing burden on taxpayers in the long-term.
Once the NoStimulus.com Web site started getting a large volume of visitors, Kerpen told CNSNews.com, they put a disapproval notice on it and they pulled the ad."
But Facebook, which confirmed that it took NoStimulus.com down, told CNSNews.com that it did so because of user complaints--and did not mention any violations of Rules 8 or 9.
At Facebook, we strive to create a trusted environment for our users and advertisers, Facebook spokeswoman Erin Zietler said in an e-mail. We encourage users to report any advertisements they find offensive or misleading, and we offer the ability for them to provide immediate feedback on our ads. We have a team dedicated to investigating ads and user complaints.
In this case, users informed us about misleading offers in many ads with promotions related to the U.S. economic stimulus package, the spokeswoman said. We are in the process of removing ads with these types of misleading offers as they are brought to our attention.
Kerpen, meanwhile, said that Facebooks decision to bring down the ad bordered on censorship and was completely inappropriate, because we are not commercial; we are a non-profit organization, he said.

From what I've heard, the guy who created facebook also created Obama's website...plus the company is based in CA. What do you expect?
But that's not the worst of it! Even when the article cited the two rules, a bunch of atheists created the groups: the "Fuck Christianity", "Fuck Judaism", & "Fuck Hinduism" were finally deleted, but the"Fuck Islam" still remains (with 3866 members).

The Bishop's cope is made up of two panels which tell the story of his spiritual journey, from his beginnings as a teenager when he discovered God - you can see him as a youngster carrying a cross. Then I've reflected him living and working in London in some quite deprived areas, where he discovered lots of different nationalities and cultures. He moved on to Bath and Wells Diocese, which I think he perceived as very "rural England", but he's since discovered a range of cultures and faiths there as well. So there's a Muslim woman in a Niqab and a Sikh man in a turban.

It used to be that vestments were embroidered with pictures (ikons) of saints, but now they are just another venue for manifesting one's own self. They no longer show the glory of God, but are just another medium for clerics to talk more about themselves. How awful! No wonder so many young people are pressing the ejection button...

"So there's a Muslim woman in a Niqab and a Sikh man in a turban."
I suppose we should feel grateful that he didn't encounter the Naga Bama on his spiritual journey.
- February 6, 2010 at 2:27 PM
- Al said...
Roger is right. The real purpose of vestments was to downplay the individual & remind us that he wasn't the focus Christ was.

What, no druid? no witch? What about the indigenous religions of Britain? I'm going to complain to somebody about this?
- February 7, 2010 at 2:21 PM
- Janjan said...
She says:
"If someone came and suggested they just wanted an altar cloth with a picture of a cross on the front, it would feel a bit boring. My gift is to add some spiritual depth to a vestment or a cloth, and perhaps to tell a story of a church or a person and give people a focus to help them worship God."
So a cross isn't focus enough, I suppose.....
- February 7, 2010 at 2:23 PM
^ Apparently the cross does not have enough 'spiritual depth' either, whatever that means.
Key word: "feel."
- February 8, 2010 at 7:14 PM
- The Lakeland Two said...
Agree that the vestment is to draw us closer to Christ, not the wearer.
In its favor, there are several crosses in it...more than what's been going around.
As art, good representation of vision. As vestment, too much.
- February 10, 2010 at 12:54 PM
No Red star? Hammer and Sickle? Swastika? He's probably met those people too.

I hope that isn't the Taj Mahal to the right of where the bishop's butt would be; that might be offensive to Muslims.
- February 12, 2010 at 3:01 PM

Has anyone told the Muslims or the Sikhs? I'm sure they're pleased as punch to have been discovered.

It would play well on Market and
Castro streets.

Go easy on this bishop; after all, it was he who discovered God. I know that because I can see him carrying a cross.

Girls S2: Exclusive First Looks!
It's going to be another awkward year for the ladies on Girls. ''You know how an infant doubles its weight in the first few weeks of its life?'' asks the HBO series' creator, exec producer, and star, Lena Dunham (above left, with Jemima Kirke). ''That's what's happening to these girls right now.'' Apparently Hannah (Dunham), Jessa (Kirke), Marnie (Allison Williams), and Shoshanna (Zosia Mamet) are still figuring out how adults are supposed to act, and that means there are plenty of cringeworthy moments to come in season 2, premiering Jan. 13
When Girls returns, Jessa receives a wedding gift from her new husband, Thomas-John (Chris O'Dowd): puppies! Adam (Adam Driver, above with Dunham) is recovering from being hit by a car last season, and he's still feeling rejected by Hannah.
Also in the mix, Hannah's ex-boyfriend/gay best friend, Elijah (Andrew Rannells, above with Williams), has moved in with her, and they're throwing a housewarming party, complete with a karaoke performance of a Sarah McLachlan song. ''Of course, Hannah being Hannah, the party cannot go successfully,'' Dunham reveals. ''Even though she made cheesy pretzels.''

In honor of our Fast Cities Breakfast coming up on June 22, we spoke with Portland mayor Sam Adams, who, in his first State of City address last February, vowed to make Portland "the most sustainable city in the world."
And this wasn't some populist politician's empty promise. In his first year in office, Adams implemented the Climate Action Plan, a roadmap to cutting Carbon emissions 80 percent by 2050; he's merged the Office of Sustainable Development with the Bureau of Planning to infuse all city plans with sustainability; he's worked toward allocating $20 million for new "bicycle boulevards"; and he's started a pilot program for clean energy retrofitting.
Adams has proven that even in slow economic times, he's still moving Portland forward as a Fast City.
Fast Company: In your first year in office, what would you say is your biggest accomplishment in Portland?
Mayor Sam Adams: I would say Clean Energy Works, which is the nation's only consortium that offers on-bill financing for clean energy upgrades and retrofits. It addresses the hidden roadblock for sustainability, which is the lack of financing for clean technology upgrades for residential, commercial, and industrial buildings and facilities. This kind of financial tool is now needed more than ever. We've also embarked upon a 25-year strategic plan for the city. Called the Portland Plan, it better aligns the $9.7 billion in government spending that happens in Portland, and over time, make it more accountable to the public. I'm the mayor, but I'm only one of about 45 public decision makers on issues within the city.
FC: As just one decision maker, you must deal with many city officials, as well as the public. How do you keep Portland innovative in a system that tends to grind slowly?
SA: By being strategic, having a pull on the community, and taking risks. I'm always willing to put an idea out there, and in a friendly way, challenge others to come up with something better. I have a point of view, and I want to challenge others in an energetic and open way to come up with better ideas–and they often do.
FC: Especially in this tough economic climate though, how as mayor can you keep putting out bold ideas for Portland?
SA: With the federal stimulus, for example, we took our $2.4 million from HUD and the Department of Energy, and used it as venture capital to get Clean Energy Works going. We could have doled it out to individual facilities and buildings, which would have been more direct and politically expedient. But instead, we wanted to create a return on investments in a new industry. In this era of very tight revenues and budget cuts, it's a lot about rethinking: About better aligning what you do have, and about paying attention to the quality and the effectiveness of what you're doing.
FC: What Portland initiatives would you suggest for other big cities?
SA: Our open source and open data initiatives. We have CivicApps, where we're turning over our information to the public and making government services more accountable.
We're also working to make every section of Portland a complete 20-minute neighborhood to strengthen our local economy. Two-thirds of all trips in Portland and in most American cities are not about getting to and from work. So if I can offer quality, affordable goods and services, eliminate food deserts, have neighborhoods with schools and parks and amenities–if I can create these 20-minute complete neighborhoods all over Portland–it strengthens our local economy. We drive 20% less than cities of comparable size, and because we don't manufacture cars, produce oil, or have car insurance companies, every dollar that we don't spend elsewhere, will stay in Portland's economy. There's about $850 million that stays in Portlanders's pockets because we drive less. With a 20-minute neighborhood, also reduce congestion and meet our climate action plan goals.
FC: You've promised to make Portland the most sustainable city in the world. Do you think it's a necessity today to view Portland with a global mindset?
SA: Yes. You have to be a city of the world. I spend a lot more time traveling than the previous mayor because part of my job is to sell the Portland brand. Otherwise, companies in China or Japan might say, Why would I hire an architecture or engineering firm from Portland, Oregon? Portland what? Part of my job is being a salesman. We have a natural strength in Portland around sustainability and clean technology, and it's my job to help commercialize our local laboratory and export it around the world.
As for sustainability, there's still vestiges of the old days when people thought of sustainably as an economic caricature. Here in Portland, we've shown that it isn't a stark choice between prosperity or sustainability. We're a city that tries to live our values: the triple-bottom line of social, economic, environmental justice.
FC: If you could only accomplish one more thing before leaving office, what would that be?
SA: It would be to grow Portland's economy into the most sustainable and equitable in the world. I think we have it in our capacity, but we have a long way to go. We were just named the most sustainable city in the United States. We are often ranked top 10 most sustainable cities in the rarefied air of Copenhagen and Stockholm. But as I like to tell people, that should inspire us to do more because it really is high-praise for Portland, on a relatively low standard for the United States.

A recent draft reform of China's Food Safety Law, which is now available for public comment, is a great improvement for supplements exporters who have been increasingly frustrated at the time and expense required to gain certification in the country.
The draft, which was approved by the National People's Congress, covers overall food safety in China, including regulations that oversee the country's burgeoning supplement and nutrition industry.
At its current rate of growth, China has the potential to become the world's largest market for dietary supplements and nutritional food ingredients, especially as it has the largest consumer base in the world.
Supplements encouraged
According to Jeff Crowther, executive director of the US-China Health Products Association, China's Ministry of Health has been positioning the healthcare system towards a more preventative system, with supplements gaining greater prominence.
"The authorities have also been encouraging the move from an export-driven economy to a consumption-based one. Dietary supplements are consumer goods and fit nicely with increasing domestic consumption," Crowther said.
"The Chinese are among the most health conscious people in the world. With centuries of natural based therapies, with traditional Chinese medicine, massage, and herbal and food therapy ingrained in their culture.
"Unfortunately, the regulations [until now] have been keeping the industry at bay and have essentially been stalling the explosive growth of the industry that one would expect."
Less time and cost
Crowther, whose association has been urging Chinese authorities to allow consumers the same access to dietary supplements that the US and other countries offer, says the draft reform shows that China's National People's Congress has been listening to the many pleas for change from industry groups, companies and consumers.
Among the most important changes in the draft are articles 65 and 66, which refer to the status of health food products in China.
According to Article 65: "For health foods imported to China for the first time, these products should be approved by the administrative sections in the exported country (or region)."
Labels will also be required to state clearly that "this product does not have the functions of disease prevention and treatment".
Article 66, meanwhile, suggests that importers of certain supplements will be allowed to record their products with China's Food and Drug Administration―a significant improvement on the existing law, which requires all so-called "health food" importers to apply for "blue hat" certification, with in turn takes time and great expense.
However, the proposed changes will only affect a small percentage of the products attempting to enter the market. For example single ingredient vitamin and minerals products will not have to go through testing and their manufacturers will simply have to notify China FDA. Products containing more than two ingredients, though, will most likely have to go through the current blue hat registration system.
"This is a great move in the right direction," said Crowther. "But they will have limited effect on many of the companies and products that are attempting to be sold in China. For example most American and other imported products have more than one ingredient in the formula. They are also at potency levels that are too high for China FDA standards.
"What these reforms are doing is creating a notification system which is what we have been advocating for since 2010. Once the notification system is in place the industry can continue to share information with China FTA to encourage the expansion of any ingredient approval list as well as formulas and potency levels. So basically there is a crack in the door and we the industry should firmly plant our foot in it."
Companies and the public can comment on the draft until July 31.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Jan. 27, 2008) -- With a successful conference road swing behind them, the ETSU Buccaneers will make a quick two-day turnaround to host Atlantic Sun Conference foe North Florida Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. inside Memorial Center.
The Bucs (10-9 overall, 4-2 A-Sun) are coming off back-to-back victories, having dropped league contenders Lipscomb and Jacksonville in just the last week. Presently, ETSU is one game back of JU for first place in the league, after handing the Dolphins their first conference loss of the season on Friday evening. Meanwhile, the Ospreys have had a completely different experience this season, currently standing at a dismal 1-17 on the year and having gone winless in league play so far this season.
The UNF game is the first of three straight at home for the Bucs, as they try to solidify their conference standing and make the most of playing inside Memorial Center, where they have won over 75 percent of their games over the last 10 years.

Buc Shots
A seven-time NCAA Tournament and two-time NIT participant, the ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2007-08 season coming off a regular season Atlantic Sun Conference championship with a 24-10 overall record, and a 16-2 league mark a year ago ... The Bucs return the 2006-07 A-Sun Player of the Year in junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis), as well as the A-Sun Coach of the Year Murry Bartow and All A-Sun Freshman team pick Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) ... Along with returning players like Pigram and Smith, the Bucs also return significant contributors to last season's success such as senior post Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.), senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna), and senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) ... Newcomers for the Bucs that are expected to contribute early and often include junior college transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.), who was the JuCo Division II National Player of the Year last season, and lightning quick JuCo point guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) ... Several Bucs are currently leading A-Sun statistical categories, see page 6 of this notebook for more information on those players and their rank ... In addition, see where the Bucs ranks as a team and individually on the national charts on Page 4.
The series against UNF
ETSU and North Florida have met only four times ... Both schools joined the Atlantic Sun Conference for the 2005-06 season and the Bucs are 4-0 all-time against the Ospreys.
Last time against the Ospreys
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Feb. 10, 2007)- In a game that was anything but pretty, the ETSU men's basketball team overcame 33 percent shooting and a sluggish effort in the paint to drop North Florida 56-51 in Atlantic Sun Conference play inside UNF Arena ... With the win, the Buccaneers improve to 19-8 overall, 13-2 in A-Sun action, while the Ospreys drop to 2-23 overall, 0-14 in league play. More importantly, the Bucs now hold a two-and-a-half game lead on second place Belmont, which lost to Lipscomb for the second time this season on Friday ... In the first half, ETSU suffered through its worst offensive 20 minutes of the season, hitting on just 25 percent of its shots and missing 12 of its first 13 attempts. Luckily, however, the Bucs defensive effort held UNF to just 30 percent shooting and ETSU used a 6-of-7 clip from the foul line to lead 20-19 at the break ... While the Ospreys manged to tie the game at 22 early in the second half, the Bucs quickly regained the advantage and actually never trailed after the break, holding on to a lead that never grew beyond nine points. While freshman guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) was the only Buccaneer in double figures with 10 points, it was sophomore guard Dante Williams (Romulus, Mich.) who came off the bench to hit a lay up and drop a pair of 3-pointers to give the Bucs an offensive spark. While the Ospreys cut the lead to just three points late in the game, ETSU hit just enough free throws down the stretch to get the win ... ETSU shot just 33 percent from the field, but held UNF to a 34 percent clip as well. While the Ospreys won the battle of the boards 40-33, the Bucs did force 20 turnovers ... While Smith led the way, senior forward Brad Nuckles (Council, Va.) finished with eight points and nine rebounds, and Williams ended the game with eight points on 3-of-5 shooting. Sophomore guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) suffered through his worst shooting night of the year, going 1-of-15 from the floor and 1-of-9 from 3-point range ... UNF was led offensively by 15 points from James Grimball and 14 from Chris Timberlake.
Last time out
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (Jan. 25, 2008)- In a one-point game with 3:16 remaining, the ETSU men's basketball team got an much-needed 7-0 offensive spurt to build a cushion and ultimately hold on to drop Jacksonville 83-77 in a critical Atlantic Sun Conference battle Friday evening before 6,873 at Veterans Memorial Arena ... With the win, ETSU (10-9, 4-2) moves to within one game of the Dolphins in the race for the A-Sun regular season championship. Jacksonville (9-9, 5-1) had started the season undefeated. The 6,873 fans was the second largest crowd in JU history ... ETSU held a five point lead at 70-65 with 4:17 left, but the Dolphins used a 4-0 run to make it 70-69 with 3:16 remaining. But from there, the Bucs went on a 7-0 offensive run powered by a lay up from senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.), a 3-pointer from junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis) and a pair of free throws from junior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) to build a 77-69 with just 1:09 left in the game ... While Jacksonville managed a couple of 3-pointers of its own, the Dolphins never got closer than four points the rest of the way and ended the contest down six ... The first half was a back-and-forth affair, with the Bucs enjoying the largest lead for either team at 31-25 with 3:39 left before the halftime break. Jacksonville didn't let that last, making up the six-point deficit to take a 36-35 advantage with three seconds remaining on Marcus Allen's lay up. Unfortunately for the Dolphins, the game clock - which should have kept running - stopped on Allen's lay up, giving ETSU's Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.) a chance to throw a deep pass to Tiggs, who grabbed the ball and scored as time expired to make it 37-36 at the break ... Five Buc players reached double figures, led by a team high 22 from Pigram. Meanwhile, senior forward Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) pitched in 15, junior Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) added 11, and senior guard Travis Strong (Memphis) and Reed netted 10 apiece. For Jacksonville, forward Marcus Allen scored a game high 23 points and posted a double-double with 11 rebounds, while guard Ben Smith added 19 points and forward Lehmon Colbert netted 13 ... The Bucs committed just nine turnovers in the game and shot 83 percent from the foul line, including a critical 15-of-15 in the second half. While Jacksonville out-rebounded the Bucs 40-33, ETSU did force 16 turnovers ... ETSU will return to league action next Friday night against Mercer. The game will begin at 7:30 p.m. to accommodate CSS, which will broadcast the game on cable network's throughout the Southeast.
Bucs' RPI, Strength of Schedule rank among best in nation
Though the Bucs are off to a 10-9 start, it's understandable when considering ETSU has only played seven home games so far this season ... More importantly, as of Jan. 21 the Buccaneers' strength of schedule (SOS) currently ranked 74th in the country according to RealtimeRPI.com ... That SOS rank is obvious when looking at the RPI of ETSU's opponents in the early season schedule, which includes St. Mary's (4th), Dayton (7th) and Syracuse (11th) ... In fact, until just recently the Bucs SOS was as high at 18th in the country, before entering conference play ... As for RPI, the Bucs ranked a respectable 123rd out of 342 Division I teams.
Home Sweet Dome
Since the 1996-97 season, the Buccaneers are an amazing 113-37 inside Memorial Center, good for a winning percentage of 76 percent ... The Bucs ETSU had won five straight at Memorial Center during the 2006-07 season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the final game of the year in the championship of the A-Sun Tournament ... This year, the Bucs are 6-1 at Memorial Center so far. season before a loss to Belmont (1/2) ... The Bucs then rattled off 10 straight at home to stand at 15-1 on the Memorial Center floor that season, but fell to Belmont in the final game of the year in the championship of the A-Sun Tournament ... This year, the Bucs are 6-1 at Memorial Center so far.
The Bucs at the Rainbow Classic
Spending a week in Hawaii during the winter months is always enjoyable, but ETSU's second trip ever to the Rainbow Classic was a bittersweet experience ... While the Bucs picked up their first win over a Southeastern Conference opponent since 1991-92 with a 76-58 victory over Georgia in the first round, the team finished the trip 1-2 after falling in back-to-back games to St. Mary's and Louisiana-Lafayette ... While the St. Mary's game was expected to be difficult -- considering the Gaels were ranked No. 2 in the RPI -- the 82-80 overtime loss to a 3-7 Lafayette team kept the Bucs from evening their season record to 6-6 coming home from the islands ... In two trips to the Rainbow, the Bucs are now 2-4 all time.
Non-conference home win streak at 16
Over the last three seasons, the Bucs have fared well against non-conference opponents within the confines of Memorial Center ... In fact, the Bucs have won 16 straight non-conference homes games since losing a 90-73 contest to Fresno State back on Nov. 27, 2004 ... ETSU has enjoyed wins over teams such as Marshall (2), Chattanooga, Central Michigan, Morehead State, Tennessee Tech, UNC Asheville, Eastern Kentucky, Radford and Appalachian State in that time frame ... Against conference opponents, the Bucs have won 10 straight regular season conference games.
Another championship banner
With a win against Stetson (2/22), the Bucs wrapped up an outright 2006-07 A-Sun regular season title and garnered the No. 1 seed in the week's league championship tournament ... For ETSU, it was the continuation of a recent string of success that dates back to the 2000-2001 season ... In all, the Bucs have captured championships in five of the last seven seasons, including back-to-back NCAA Tournament trips in 2002-03 and 2003-04, and a trip to the NIT in 2006-07 ... Here is the championship breakdown:
2000-2001-- Southern Conference North Division Championship
2001-2002 -- SoCon North Division championship
2002-2003 -- SoCon North Division championship; SoCon Tournament Championship
2003-2004 -- SoCon North Division championship, SoCon Regular Season Championship, SoCon Tournament Championship
2006-2007 -- Atlantic Sun Conference Regular Season Championship
New starting five
During the Bucs recent trip to the Rainbow Classic, head coach Murry Bartow used a completely new starting five, with junior guardJocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.), junior guard Courtney Pigram (Memphis), sophomore guard Mike Smith (Vandalia, Mo.), junior forward Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) and senior forward Andrew Reed (Port Richey, Fla.) ... While that group went only 1-2 on the trip, they did pick up the win over SEC foe Georgia and lost a close overtime battle with Louisiana-Lafayette ... However, the Bucs reshuffled the lineup again versus Appalachian State, moving Pigram to the point position, and inserting seniors Travis Strong (Memphis) and Kenyona Swader (Smyrna) to go with Tiggs and Reed ... That starting five is now 3-1 on the year, but the starting lineup was shuffled once again Thursday night against Belmont, as junior guard Jocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) was inserted into the lineup at point guard, moving Pigram to the two guard over Strong ... That lineup went 2-1 this past two weeks in Nashville and Jacksonville, losing by three to Belmont and beating Lipscomb by five, before dropping Jacksonville by six Friday night.
Davis, Pigram and assist/turnover ratio
One positive to come from the early season schedule as been the play of both junior guardsJocolby Davis (Meridian, Miss.) and Courtney Pigram (Memphis) ... From a distribution of the basketball and offensive production standpoint, both have shown an ability to pick up assists without turning the ball over ... Currently, Davis ranks third in the A-Sun with an assist/turnover ratio of 1.6 ... As for assists per game, Pigram ranks 6th with 3.5 a game, while Davis is 9th with 3.3 a contest
Pigram eclipses 1,000 points
Beginning just his third season at ETSU, junior guardCourtney Pigram (Memphis) has already eclipsed the 1,000-point mark with a jump shot from the right corner at the 17:52 mark against Chattanooga (11/28) ... That basket gave Pigram 1,000 for his career and following the contest with the Mocs ... The junior now stands at 1,246 for his career and ranks for 14th on the all-time program scoring list ... The 6-1 shooting guard scored 325 points as a freshman and then netted a remarkable 614 as a sophomore ... His 614 points a year ago ranks 6th on the single season list.
Chilton's No. 42 comes out of retirement
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Aug. 31, 2007)- For many years, Tom Chilton's No. 42 has held a special place in ETSU basketball's history. Next season, fans will see that special number on the floor once again ... Chilton, who ranks first all-time with 26.1 points per game and fifth on the all-time scoring list with 1,801, has agreed to allow junior transfer Kevin Tiggs (Flint, Mich.) to wear his No. 42 jersey for the 2007-08 and 2008-09 season. Chilton, who now makes his home in Madison, Ind., said he was honored a current player would want to wear his number ... "I wish him the best and I'm honored he wants to wear No. 42," said Chilton, whose 42 is the only retired number in ETSU's program history. "I hope he always considers that the number doesn't make the player, but the player makes the number. A lot of hard work and effort went into that number during my time there, but ETSU gave a lot back to me and I wouldn't be where I am today without that university, so I'm happy to allow the number to be worn again." ... ETSU head coach Murry Bartow said he was appreciative Chilton would allow the number to come out of retirement, and he reiterated that the number will go back into retirement two years from now ... "Tom Chilton was one of the finest players to ever wear an ETSU uniform, and his willingness to allow Kevin to wear the number shows he is still proud to be a part of our program's tradition," Bartow said. "It's our expectation that Kevin understand the importance of the number and the responsibility that goes with wearing it." ... Tiggs, the 2007 National Junior College Division II Player of the Year, said he certainly understood the history behind the number ... "Mr. Chilton was and is a legend here, so wearing his number comes with a great deal of responsibility," Tiggs said. "I just want to play in a way that would make him proud."
1,119 wins and counting
With a win Jan. 25, 2007 against Belmont, the Bucs collected the program's 1,100th win all-time ... In over 80 years of basketball, the Bucs are 1,118-901-27.
Bucs on the Tube
Along with the new ASun.TV package which will video stream all ETSU men's and women's home games on the Internet, the Bucs will again have a significant presence on the television screen as well this year ... In fact, ETSU's trips to Oklahoma State (Dec. 8) and Syracuse (Dec. 15) both aired live locally, with the Oklahoma State game showing on WKPT (ABC) and the Syracuse contest aired on WJHL (CBS) ... The Bucs will also appear on regional cable through the Friday night CSS Atlantic Sun Game of the Week with the Jan. 25th trip to Jacksonville and the Feb. 1 home game against Mercer scheduled for air on CSS ... In addition, Charter Main Street will air its weekly ETSU replay on Charter 13 and Comcast 14 Tuesday nights at 8 p.m., with the weekly games beginning on Dec. 4th with the Tennessee-Wesleyan game ... For a complete schedule, visit ETSUBucs.com.
Bucs dominate Preseason All A-Sun Picks
Last season, ETSU won its first Atlantic Sun Conference men's basketball title, but Belmont denied the Buccaneers the conference's automatic bid in the final of the General Shale Brick Men's Basketball Championship ... Entering the 2007-08 season, both the coaches and the media predict that the Buccaneers will again be battling the Bruins for conference supremacy ... Both chose ETSU as the favorite to win the conference and defend its regular-season title with Belmont second ... The Bucs were the clear choice by the media to win the tournament ... The Buccaneers, who have gone 28-10 in A-Sun play in their two years in the league, will continue to be led byCourtney Pigram (Memphis). The junior from Memphis, Tenn. was named the preseason Player of the Year following up his Player of the Year award for the 2006-07 season ... As a sophomore, Pigram averaged 18.1 points per game, second-best in the conference and also ranked in the top 10 in steals (2nd, 2.62 SPG), 3-point field goals per game (3rd, 2.62 3-pt FG per game) and assists (7th, 3.74 APG). He turned in one the league's virtuoso performances of the season when he dished out a conference-record 18 assists against Mercer on February 24 to go along with 29 points and eight rebounds. The 18 assists set an A-Sun record, were one off the school record, and were the second-highest single-game total in Division I in the last two seasons.

Silvan Elvish descended from Nandorin, the language of the Nandor.
In later centuries, their language became known as Silvan Elvish, heard both in Lothlórien and the Woodland Realm of Mirkwood.
After the First Age, the surviving Elves of Beleriand carried their speech back into the east. Sindarin-speakers settled in both the main Silvan realms, and in Lórien, at least, Sindarin quickly overtook Silvan Elvish in common use. The history of the tongue in Mirkwood is more difficult to determine - some sources suggest that it, too, was quickly overtaken by Sindarin, but other sources dispute this.
By the end of the Third Age, the only remnants of Silvan were a few names, like Caras Galadhon or Amroth, which sound like Sindarin, but actually betray the influences of Silvan words.
[edit] Names
Legolas calls the dialect the "woodland tongue".[1]
In one note Tolkien calls the language just Silvan.[2]

MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Andre Agassi was shocked and saddened by disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong's confession to using performance-enhancing drugs and the eight-times grand slam champion said tighter, more frequent dope testing procedures in tennis would be good for the sport.
The American, who co-founded a philanthropic organization with Armstrong and other athletes like Muhammad Ali, women's World Cup winner Mia Hamm and NBA champion Alonzo Mourning, said he had been convinced of Armstrong's innocence.
"Well, my reaction to it is the same as everybody. It was shock, hard to stomach, sadness, disappointment. I think 'anger' is a fair word," Agassi told reporters at Melbourne Park on Friday.
"I was certainly one of those that flat out believed him that long period of time. The thought of it not being the case was unconscionable to me."
Armstrong, 41, admitted in an interview with Oprah Winfrey last week that he used performance-enhancing drugs and lied about it for over decade, finally owning up to being at the centre of one of the biggest drug scandals in world sport.
In 2007, Agassi and Armstrong were two of the founders of the organization Athletes For Hope which helps educate professional athletes on how to raise money and the profile of charitable and philanthropic causes.
Armstrong is still listed as one of the founders of the organization on its website (www.athletesforhope.org), though he does not have a biography link on its front page.
The 42-year-old Agassi, who admitted to recreational drug use in his autobiography "Open", said he felt that tennis was relatively clean and doubted anyone would be able to get away with the systemic level of doping that Armstrong admitted to.
"It's a sport where I wouldn't know how to get away with that level of cheating. It's a year round sport," Agassi said.
"It's an out of body governance, a third party governance. When last I played, it was comprehensive in the sense of nearly every tournament, nearly week to week, blood, urine, out of competition testing.
"I don't know how it's changed, but if it's stayed the same at least that's a good thing."
Agassi tested positive for methamphetamine during his career, but lied to ATP officials about how it got into his system, claiming he had consumed a drink spiked with the drug.
He felt that his own drug use, and how he avoided a ban, may have helped tennis in pursuing more vigorous drug testing programs.
"You know, for their own reasons I might have played a part in it, for them going to WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency) and the governance that has no horse in the race," he said.
"That, to me, is a great thing.
"For me, it would have kept me from destroying a few years of my life. That's what I did to myself with the use of the recreational, destructive substance of crystal meth.
"It would have saved me on a lot of fronts."
Agassi was also keen for tennis officials to increase testing so that the sport was not tainted by claims and counter claims of hiding the extent of any problem.
"Anything that can protect the integrity of the sport, and those that aren't cheating should absolutely be considered," he added.
"The more the better as far as I'm concerned. The stricter, the better; the more transparency the better; the more accountability the better.
"It's sad to watch people who may question things for those that worked pretty darn hard.
"Describing a problem is a heck of a lot easier than solving it, is one thing I've learned. Let's always have the discussion of making it more comprehensive."

There is a moment at the end of every Bolder Boulder when a stadium filled to the brim turns quiet as thousands listen to astonishing stories of bravery by former military members.
It was a stroke of genius combining those inspirational tales with the 10K race on Memorial Day. Founder Steve Bosley recognized years ago there are certain people in the world whose selflessness should not go unrecognized especially while they are still here to be celebrated.
It is Bosley's favorite part of each race day. Earlier this month during a conversation about preparations for this year's Bolder Boulder, Bosley became emotional for a moment when telling the story of the brave doctors the race plans to honor this year. They saved a soldier's life by removing a live grenade from his neck.
"Damn, I haven't done anything in my life compared to that," Bosley said. "Holy cow."
Today on the eve of the 35th running of the Bolder Boulder, it seems like an appropriate time to pay tribute to a man who turned his simple idea 35 years ago into Boulder's signature event. Sure, organizing a world class road race isn't sticking one's neck out to remove a grenade from another man's neck, but it's tough to think of another person who has made a more substantial impact on Boulder at both a community and individual level than Bosley.
His race has brought millions of dollars into the city over the years while having a positive impact on hundreds of thousands of lives and dozens of charities. Its core philosophy of being inclusive comes from Bosley who has always strived to keep entry fees low while the race tries to remain ahead of the curve in making use of the latest technologies to maximize the experience for participants.
The Bolder Boulder has introduced running and the idea of physical fitness to thousands of children over the years. It has also provided opportunities to compete and interact with the community to thousands of people struggling with addictions, disabilities and diseases.
While the Bolder Boulder is what Bosley is most well known for, he has served the Boulder community in other ways. He was president and CEO of The Bank of Boulder for nearly 25 years from the mid-1970s to the late 1990s. More recently he has served on the University of Colorado Board of Regents helping guide the school through tough financial times and declining funding from the state.
There have been hundreds of thank yous for Bosley over the years. From people who have been inspired to take better care of themselves through participation in the race he started or by watching a friend or family member compete. Others have come from people who met their wives or husbands at the race and still more from people who used the race to raise money for a charity or cause.
Perhaps it's time for a larger acknowledgment of Bosley's contributions to Boulder.
But what would that be? How does a city go about choosing an appropriate way to say its thank you to an individual who has done so much?
Whatever it is, it should have staying power.
Does it erect a statue in Bosley's honor? Perhaps it names a street after him or a section of a street? Being the son of educators, Bosley might be most appreciative of a scholarship endowed in his name at CU.
Bosley turned 71 in February. He has dedicated half his life to building a race that has become iconic in Colorado sports, but the thing about Bosley that so many have come to appreciate is his humble nature.
I spent more than 30 minutes asking him questions about the race earlier this month and a handful of those questions gave Bosley opportunities to pat himself on the back. He didn't even come close. In fact, each time he was presented with an opportunity to take some credit, he gave it instead.
He talked about the thousands of volunteers who have worked the race over the years as well as the race's employees, his son, Cliff, who serves as race director, and legendary distance runner Frank Shorter, who has advised Bosley on the race from the beginning.
"We couldn't have done it without them," he said.
There are probably dozens of ways of acknowledging Bosley's contributions to the betterment of this community. This much we can count on: Bosley will view them all as unnecessary and maybe even ridiculous. That's just who he is.
But it's a conversation that should be started now.

This week whilst browsing through radio programmes on BBC iPlayer, looking for something to help me get to sleep, I came across a wonderful new series entitled 'The History of Private Life'.
The series, which is broadcast on BBC Radio 4, consists of thirty 15-minute programmes presented by historian Amanda Vickery and, according to the press release, includes:
'Men behaving badly, adultery on the sofa, servants running amok, witches, poltergeists, burglars, bashful bachelors, glamorous widows, wedding nights, rows in bed, bedbugs, pots and pans, the imperial bungalow and suburban love – all in their own words.'
As family historians it is perhaps with private life, the domestic, that we are most concerned. We want to know who our ancestors married, how many children they had and where they lived. This series explores how they lived and is based on research in archives across the UK.
Some of the most revealing material comes from private letters and diaries and so naturally is concerned with the middle and upper echelons of society rather than the illiterate masses, but there are also sources used that will be familiar to many genealogists including The Proceedings of the Old Bailey.
I think the strongest programme so far has been the opening episode entitled 'The Bed'. A particular highlight was an extract from Samuel Pepys' diary showing that married life has changed little in 350 years:
'At night to bed, and my wife and I did fall out about the dog's being put down into the cellar, which I had a mind to have done because of his fouling the house, and I would have my will, and so we went to bed and lay all night in a quarrel.'
The series also includes songs from the 18th and 19th centuries that have never previously been recorded.
The first five episodes are currently available on BBC iPlayer and there is also an omnibus edition and a discussion inspired by the programme. Further information, including details of the research behind the series, is given on the BBC website at http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/features/history-of-private-life/

I have owned and ridden a Trek road bike since around 1993 (Trek 1200), my new 2017 Emonda SL 6 is the best one yet. This is an awful lot of bicycle for the price that I paid for it. The Ultegra drivetrain is just as reliable as it has always been, my 2200 ZR is equipped with Ultegra and I haven't had any problem with it since I purchased the bike in 2006. My Emonda is just a dream, I love it and I am yet to get really comfortable on it. I am 6'4", so I ride the 62 cm frame and being as tall as I am, having a bike that fits, is nimble and fast, is responsive to my input as a cyclist, is all that I can expect from my bike. I will probably exchange the stem for a longer one, I have long arms and I am most comfortable in a less upright position. Not sure if at 63 years old, my Emonda will be the last bike that I buy, I will strongly recommend the Emonda SL 6 for any serious cyclist that is looking for a sub $3,000 bad....sss machine.
Without a doubt the best all around bike frame I've ever ridden. The stock 56 cm frame was like a custom made, I've never felt more dialed in to a bike fit whether hands on the bars, brake hoods and yes even in the drops. I'm a 6' muscular 210 lbs and the Emonda SL6 responds with nuance to out of the saddle sprints, climbs sitting down or standing on the pedals, and fast cornering. It accelerates effortlessly, not without effort of course, and is stiff with NO FLEX. My version is built out with the Shimano Ultegra 6800 11 speed Drive Train and pedals (Ultegra in my mind still the best value in the market for quality and performance). I upgraded the saddle, stem, and bars, the three components that over 20+ years of riding and experimentation provide me with perfect balance of comfort, fit and performance. Adding custom built carbon wheel set with Swiss DT 240S straight pull hubs and Sapim CX Ray spokes this is a super lightweight, fast, responsive riding machine and hands down my best ride ever. The only negatives I've ever seen related to the Emonda are comments about it's basic matte black finish. That's purely a matter of personal aesthetic and when you're suffering up a long, steep climb or battling a head wind the last thing you care about is how it looks, this is a bike for serious athletes. I myself prefer the stealth look opposed to elaborate and colorful paint schemes but again that's a matter of individual taste and preference that has nothing to do with the perfection this machine represents for me. Still not sure, find your local TREK dealer, ask to test ride the SL 6 and experience it for yourself.
Love this bike, very lite and rides very well

I spent a fair amount of time searching bikes online and visiting some of the local bikeshops and chain stores. I initially shied away from the Trek brand because of their behemoth status in the industry, but I'm glad that I finally had an opportunity to check out some of their bikes at one of my local shops. The Madone was great, but I'm 44 with a cranky back and wanted something with a slightly more relaxed geometry. The Domane was nice, but felt a bit lifeless on the road. I was coming from a comfy 10 year old steel Lemond, so perhaps my expectations were a bit different for carbon bikes. After trying a few more bike brands and riding at other shops, the salesperson said "we need to get you on an Emonda". After a 15 minute demo ride, I was hooked. The best way to describe the bike is that it provides the perfect balance between race ready and endurance bikes. Fast and nimble, but still extremely comfortable. It's super lightweight, and I'm constantly amazed at the climbing ability of this thing. It feels like I'm being pulled by a cable up the hills. I'm waiting for my friends at the top of the hill now. I've owned it for nearly 6 weeks and have about 400-500 miles and I couldn't be happier. I've added the Bontrager bluetooth enabled computer, and went through a proper bike fitting with a modified stem and cleat positioning. The Ultegra 6800 group is excellent, many compare it to the previous version of Dura Ace. I did upgrade the wheels and tires, which has made a notable difference in the ride quality. It comes stock with Bontrager Race wheels, which is their entry level road wheel and hubset and 23mm R2 tires. I wish they would have at least included the Race Lite edition wheel set, but it's still a lot of bike for the way they've priced it. If you don't want to spend extra on wheels, I'd at least recommend moving up to some wider tires such as a 25mm. I'm 200 lbs, so it made a noticeable difference in the ride quality. I also upgraded the to an 11-32T cassette (my expense) to give me a few extra gears for our steep hills. This required a swap of the rear derailleur with a medium cage. To net things out, this is a fantastic bike that you'll want to ride as often as you can. Go test ride one!

um yeAH i dont think anyone was questioning the epidemic and it's world wide and hits everywhere and everyone at any time doesnt mean your less of a person. but what did you do to fix it . the reason of the site is to share knowledge so if maybe you can tell what you did and it can help some one. not sure if you ever had the problem but its like having a constant fire every day , and picking up and leaving behind eveything you owned and moving on isnt as easy as you think.
Jo on 07/29/2011
There are no bed bugs here, there were in the past just like there were bed bugs in many other places, even in high rent luxury areas like upper east side and many stores in Manhattan, people blaming the super for this problem are ridiculous no one can control the spread of bed bugs and any intellectual person can figure out that the bed bug epidemic was widespread so just get over it and move on, so many miserable ppl living here.
Anonymous on 06/05/2011

The production of antibodies in vitro was introduced by Georges Köhler and César Milstein, who first employed cultures of fused cells to isolate antibodies of defined specificity. In this procedure, termed monoclonal antibody production, antibodies are first produced in mice, and activated B-lymphocytes from the host's spleen (the source of antibodies) are fused with cultured plasma tumor myeloma cells (that do not produce antibodies) from mice of the same strain. The fusion product is a hybrid (termed a hybridoma) of the two cells that continues to grow and divide in culture and produces large amounts of the antibody. Unfused cells and non-productive fusions are eliminated by classical cloning techniques to purify the culture of antibody-producing cells. A hybrid cell line produces only a single type of antibody, which can be used as a selection marker in serial dilution cloning by monitoring the culture medium for secreted antibody at each stage. Ultimately a cell line is established from a single cell (monoclonal) in which all of the cells produce an identical antibody.
A fixed and permeabilized culture of adherent APM cells grown on cover glasses (illustrated above) was treated with mouse anti-vimentin monoclonal primary antibodies followed by goat anti-mouse secondary antibodies (IgG) conjugated to Texas Red-X. The filamentous actin network and DNA in the nuclei were simultaneously imaged by labeling with Oregon Green 488 conjugated to phalloidin and Hoechst 33258, respectively. 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.

BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romanian airline Tarom cancelled a flight to Bucharest because the pilot was suspected of being drunk before takeoff from London's Heathrow airport, it said on Friday.
In a story reminiscent of Denzel Washington's portrayal of flying under the influence of alcohol in the movie "Flight", British authorities refused permission for the pilot to take off in the Airbus A318 from Heathrow on Wednesday morning.
"We cancelled the flight because one crew member was not physically fit to operate. His medical incapacity was tracked down in London during routine checks," the state-owned Romanian carrier Tarom said in a statement.
"The pilot returned home on Thursday and we suspended him from activity until the investigation is finalized."
European Union member Romania has pledged to sell a range of state companies under an International Monetary Fund deal, including a 20 percent stake in Tarom - which operates 23 planes - by August.
"If official results we receive show he tested positive for alcohol, we'll immediately fire him," the airline said.

HOW TO | Find the best tea for beauty
INNER BEAUTY is all the rage, and we're not talking about your glowing personality. Beauty supplements have been booming business in recent years, from traditional pills to powders, injections and even gummy bears.

Publisher's Description▼▲
Using a unique story-driven format, God without Religion dismantles common religious misconceptions, revealing
the true meaning of being filled with the Spirit
the facts about judgment, rewards, and God's discipline
the simple truth behind predestination and the divisions it causes
the problem with the popular challenge to "live radical"
Pulling no punches, Farley shows how the truth about these controversial issues can liberate and unify believers as we discover how to rest in the unconditional love of God.
Author Bio▼▲
In God without Religion, Farley carefully teases out the threads of religion and examines them in the full light of Scripture. He likens the process to switching from one computer operating system to another. When one switches to a new operating system, the old system needs to be abandoned completely. It doesn't work that way anymore on your new system. Farley's criticism of religion is that it tries to use an old operating system on a new computer. (Yes, Apple computers will run Microsoft programs but Farley defends against that argument, too!)
The destructive thought patterns that plague many believers are brought out, carefully examined, and dealt with accurately and appropriately. Without seeming harsh or haughty, the reader is lead to carefully and biblically consider the truth of such thoughts as "I'm not good enough, "I'm not consistent enough," and "I'm too guilty." The biblical case is presented lovingly and pointedly; Christ was either the perfect and complete sacrifice or He was dishonest, disqualified, and deceitful. The author makes a very passionate case for the right relationship between the believer and the law that bears careful consideration.
Turning from the issue of salvation, Farley then undertakes to debunk several prevalent myths among believers. First to be considered is the belief that "if I give, God will bless me," or its corollary "if I don't give, God will punish me." Again, Scripture is brought out, allowed to speak on its own and make commentary on itself in order to bring the reader to a thoughtful conclusion.
The discussion then turns to the limits of salvation: who exactly can be or will be saved? The author deftly handles Scripture to allow a full portrait of God's amazing love and pursuing grace to be revealed. The remainder of the book deals with the repercussions of that amazing love. Because God's great mercy, love, and grace have dispensed so great a salvation that lives are drastically and radically changed in the process how should we live? Farley discusses the topics of extending forgiveness to others, dealing with sin in one's own life, meeting together in corporate worship, and preparing for the life that is to come. The well-established pattern is followed: Scripture is presented as the final authority, and where clarity is needed, Scripture is its own interpreter.
Throughout the book, Farley issues a very clear call for a grand distinction to be made between following God and following religion. Rules never save; they only highlight the infractions that occur. God is the only Savior, so it is He who must be trusted above all others even religion. I commend this book to your careful reading and consideration. Charles Eldred, www.ChristianBookPreviews.com
