When Asperger's ATTACKS!
This is a horrifically bad picture of me. Its being used to illustrate frustration, which is felt at this house on occasion. I won't sugar coat our family dynamic. Sometimes I want to sell Nathan to the Gypsies. I would never do that, of course. But there are days...
About two weeks ago, Nathan was in his room, getting dressed. Or so I thought. I knocked on his door to check on him and he's only in his underwear. This was a good sign, which means he'd started the process. I asked him if he needed more time to change and he said yes. I told him he had 5 more minutes.
I checked him again and he had pants on, but he looked like he's about to cry. I asked him, "What's the matter, honey?"
"The pants." he said.I questioned him about the pants. He couldn't really say. I checked them. They weren't dirty or wrinkled. They didn't have a difficult button or zipper. I couldn't figure out what's wrong.
"Nate, what's wrong with the pants?""Mom, they're uncomfortable."
Okay, we're getting somewhere. I was glad I gotten that out of him. But, it's was 7:45 AM. I hadn't showered and I felt like I stunk like a wedge of Stilton. We needed to leave by 8:05. I had a feeling we wouldn't make that time frame.
I said, "Okay, pal. That's fine. You want to wear another pair of pants?"He said, "Yeah, pajama pants."
I normally don't let him wear pajama pants to school, as they look like, well, pajama pants. But this pair had a camouflage print on them. Completely acceptable in my book. I told him he could put them on and he could finish getting dressed.
"But Mom," he whined, "everyone will know..."
"Know what?" I pressed."That they're pajama pants."I got close to selling him on Ebay at that point.
"Honey," I insisted, "who knows they're pajama pants?"
"Me & you" he said.
"Right, so we're the only ones who know. Nobody has to know except us."
"But what if someone asks me?"Ask him if he's wearing pajama pants? Please, half the kids in school don't change their clothes before going to school. But Nathan is a clothes horse and frequently asks me if his clothes make him look fat. I couldn't wrap my head around this. His Asperger's was being too crafty for me. It was 7:55, Nathan was crying and half naked and I was on the verge of having an audition reel for "Jersey Shore" with all the f-bombs I was holding back.
"Honey, nobody has to know they're pajama pants.
You can wear them if you want."
"I'll wear the other pants that make me itchy."
"Nate, you don't have to wear the itchy pants."
"But everyone will know about the pajama pants."
"Nate, you'd rather be uncomfortable and wear the itchy pants?"
"YES!!!"I was befuddled, confused and yes, frustrated. There were some raised voices, by me. There was lots of crying by Nate. I was like, "Why is he torturing himself? Why can't he just put on some darn clothes? Doesn't he know I smell like an 8th grade science experiment?" Nathan was just miserable, in my lap, screeching into my shoulder. Then, like a direct line from the Asperger Gods to me, I had a thought."Nate, do you want to wear a different pair of pants?"
"A different pair?"
"Yeah, like a pair of pants that are comfortable and are not pajama pants?"
He looked at me like I had told him he could swim in ice cream for a week. He smiled a little and wiped his face and said, "Yes. I would like that." I figured he needed another option. In his brain, he had only two options. There was never any consideration of a third choice in his mind, so I put it there.
I held him in my lap and rocked him for a while. He's 73 lbs now, so it's not so easy to keep him there, but he still crawls up into my arms like a monkey when he's sad. I know he needs love when he does that and I am happy to give it to him.
So, to sum up, Nathan wore jeans that day. I did not have a shower before I took Nathan to school, but did as soon as I got home. We also donated the offending trousers to charity. Asperger's may attack without warning. It is best to be as prepared as you can, and try to think outside of the proverbial box. :)

Randy Yale's Blog
Stay in touch with our latest news, thoughts in issues and status of our campaign!
The New York Times has one interesting article and one pointed opinion piece today that I think are more related than they might seem.
The article reports on the differing views of Constitution Day, which is today, September 17. People associated with the Tea Party hold the view that "the federal government is a creeping and unwelcome presence in the lives of freedom-loving Americans." Like most issues that have any political aspect, there is a view that is diametrically opposed. Progressives "see the Constitution not as a limit on federal power but as the spirit behind many progressive laws."
My own take is that the framers were careful wordsmiths. So what is necessary to understand the Constitution is close reading. If that is done, it seems apparent the Constitution is more concerned with liberty than freedom. In fact, freedom is only specifically mentioned in the Constitution in the First Amendment. Religious practice and speech are meant to be off limits from the Congress. However, like the Declaration of Independence, the preamble to the Constitution makes liberty conspicuous. Often liberty and freedom are synonymous. I think there are distinct and important differences in meaning.
Freedom means without any restrictions. I am free to disobey the law. I am free to abuse the power I have over others.
Liberty is more accurately defined by the civil relationship we have to each other. Thus you can take indecent liberties with a minor (the very concept of indecent freedom is unknown). Or a person is not a liberty to share a confidence which they gained in trust. In this more precise sense liberty creates both rights and responsibilities. And any governing document must outline how a civil society will organize so that individual freedom is redirected so that pluribus becomes unum.
This is where the op/ed about food comes in. Joe Nocera describes how any tax on the food industry, even one with wide support meant to fund improved safety throughout the production and distribution systems, is opposed by conservatives as "significant overreach" by the government. The underlying philosophy in opposition to the tax and its use is that food producers should be free from regulation so that they can maximize profits, which will benefit all involved through improved methods. As the recent outbreak of listeria linked to cantaloupes proves, this is not how things work in the real world.
I believe that in our system everyone is at liberty to profit from their efforts and investments. However, those of us who buy products, especially products as essential as food, are justified in expecting that same liberty requires a high-level of safety that can only be coordinated by the government that the framers created with the Constitution we celebrate today.

Bruce Dear, Placer County Assessor, announced a 12.75 % increase in this year's property assessment roll. The recently completed local assessment roll rose to over $39 billion for 2004-2005, an increase of $4.4 billion from last year's roll. The dollar increase broke the previous record of $4.1 billion set last year. The increase is attributed to a higher value for properties that changed ownership and to the continued high rate of new construction.
On a percentage basis Lincoln led Placer County jurisdictions with a 34.3% increase in net assessed value. Assessment information by jurisdiction is as follows:
The annual property assessment roll, delivered by Dear to the County Auditor, generates the property tax revenue that is used to fund education, criminal justice, health, welfare, and many other city and county government services.
"Notices of assessed value" are being mailed over the next two weeks to all business property owners and to some real property owners, based on certain changes of status that may have impacted their real estate.
Questions related to property assessments can be directed to the Assessor's office at telephone number (530) 889-4300. You can also obtain information from our website at placer.ca.gov/assessor. For anyone who would like to discuss their assessment in person, the main office of the Assessor Department is located at 2980 Richardson Drive, Auburn, in the DeWitt Center.

Can a portable induction cooker be used for sous vide?
Posted 15 January 2012 - 02:17 PM
OK, dear. But we still don't have enough friends to justify a shabu/fondue/raclette party.
Anyway, reading the description of these portable induction cookers, they claim to be able to hold food at various temperatures -- which could be IDEAL for small amounts of sous-vide. A couple steaks, for instance, but not a turkey.
Here's a typical brand/model to run through Google -- Sunpentown Micro Induction Cooktop 964TB.
Any chance this working?
Posted 15 January 2012 - 02:27 PM
Yes, you can definitely do sous vide in a big pot of water that you hold at a given temperature. An induction burner will do that more accurately than a gas or electric burner, but you're still not going to have the level of control you would with a PID device. An induction hot plate is probably a good investment in its own right though, so you might as well pull the trigger!

I have one and recommend it. A few more wires to manage than other solutions, but very cheap for a system that includes a bubbler or circulator.
Posted 16 January 2012 - 10:33 AM
An induction cooker would be cool to have around, but not for sous vide. For the same cost you can get the portable solution from http://freshmealssolutions.com/ that includes a Sous Vide Magic controller and a bubbler. You can use this in most any size pot, or a small cooler for higher temperature cooking.
I have one and recommend it. A few more wires to manage than other solutions, but very cheap for a system that includes a bubbler or circulator.
That's hardly the same cost. The Supentown that scoopkw was mentioning sells for under $60. The SVM controller and bubbler combo is over $350. I'm not saying they are the same thing, or that you could do anything but simple sous vide with the induction cooktop, just pointing out they aren't in the same cost ballpark.
Posted 05 May 2012 - 04:26 PM
There might be a few "dumb" portable induction hubs out there with mechanical controls, see Viking - Portable Induction Cooker and Manual Control Countertop Induction Cooker (120V)if you want to use something like sousvide magic controller to do sousvide with an IH burner you are going to run into two problems. Induction burners don't turn on automatically when they are plugged in so they can't be modulated with the controller unless you modify them. Also I have a had a lot of trouble using digital thermometers with IH burners. Something about the magnetic field of the burner causes the thermometer to malfunction. unless you are getting a 220v induction burner it will also take a long time to get the water up to temperature.
If you really encounter a dumb induction hob, I guess it would make a very responsive (low thermal inertia) system similar to an immersion heater like FMM.
If you can get one, please post your experiences here. But before buying make sure it heats after power OFF/ON.

I think the above which I quoted more or less puts paid to the idea of using an induction cooker for SV. If the magnetic field induces a current in the thermometer probe, then you will never get accurate temperatures.

Five Years Post-Katrina … Eco-Voodoo Lingers On
With the upcoming five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina (August 29), the Gulf Coast is bracing for another media onslaught.
Network anchors all have their tickets (each competing for turf with Anderson Cooper along New Orleans's Riverwalk), CNN is broadcasting a two-part special ("New Orleans Rising") and next Monday/Tuesday HBO will air Spike Lee's four-hour documentary, "If God Is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise."
As if the place hadn't gotten enough attention during the past four-plus months, the Gulf States can't stay out of the news these days, which is a good thing. Given the continuing debate over just how much oil is still stewing in the ocean it deserves to be in the headlines for a long time to come.
As I predicted a few days ago, every day seems to bring a new estimate on just how much of the oil spewed by BP is still out there. The statistics grow evermore confusing. The government says "74 percent of the oil is gone." A University of Georgia team claims "79 percent is still there." And today a report in Science – which the Times calls "the most ambitious paper to emerge yet" – casts grave doubt on the government stats and suggests there is a huge plume of oil two miles long floating beneath the surface, which will pose problems for the ocean, wildlife and man for months, possibly years, to come.
While that chatter dominates Gulf-related headlines, I think now is an appropriate time to reflect on all the other bad shit impacting the region on top of the multi-million gallons of crude that were recklessly dumped into it.
The Deepwater Horizon explosion and sinking was one of two sizable man-made disasters that will have long-lasting impact on Louisiana shores. The other goes back to 1927, when man (i.e. the Army Corps of Engineers) began his failed attempt to "control" the Mississippi River. The twin debacles, combined with a historically corrupt and inattentive state government, has assured that despite the cantankerous quality of life that makes the state the most unique of all fifty is also treated like America's toilet bowl.

Brownwood to Implement Fines, Citations for Water Violations
By: Lisa Tipton, BrownwoodNews.com
Updated: June 13, 2012
The newly approved ordinance establishes penalties for violating the restrictions and provisions of penalties, which includes disconnection of water service, citations for multiple violations, and providing authority for certain city employees to issue citations for violations of the ordinance.
The ordinance states that the city will work with citizens to seek voluntary compliance, but if they refuse to comply with the drought contingency plan, the ordinance will allow citations to be issued by code enforcement officers and police officers for such violations.
The ordinance also states that if a person if found guilty of a violations, a fine may be assessed up to $2,000 per occurrence. The fine for a first conviction of the plan has been set by the judge at $265 and amount of further fines is at the discretion of the judge.
In addition, the ordinance states that a second violation of the plan may result in disconnection of water service without prior notice to the person. Service will only be restored upon payment of a reconnection charge, currently set at $35 according to the ordinance.
"It is not the City's intent to write citations to people. It's the City's intent to request all residents comply with our drought contingency plan," said Brownwood City Manager Bobby Rountree. "Our goal is to seek voluntary compliance of the drought contingency plan. These rains have helped us with a little bit of relief, but I don't know if we caught a lot of water in the watershed of the lake, so we still need to follow our drought contingency plan."

Pawlenty coming to NH to campaign for Romney
Pawlenty noted he lived through the veepstakes four years ago, when John McCain passed him over in favor of Sarah Palin.
"It's an honor to be mentioned and considered. We won't know until Gov. Romney makes his choice," Pawlenty said earlier this week in an interview with the New Hampshire Union Leader.
Pawlenty sought the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, and although he campaigned somewhat in the Granite State, he placed most of his effort on Iowa. He dropped out of the race in August 2011 after finishing third in a non-binding straw poll in Iowa.
Pawlenty is expected to arrive in New Hampshire tonight and then spend a day on the ground Saturday. His most visible appearance will be in the morning at the New Hampshire Young Republican annual convention at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics at St. Anselm College.
He's also expected to go knocking on doors in Manchester, appear at a Republican ice cream social at 1800 Elm St., Manchester, and attend a backyard barbecue in Derry.
Pawlenty would not discuss the vetting process that he's gone through with the Romney campaign, including how many years of tax returns he's had to submit.
"We don't want the election won or lost on old tax returns or old college transcripts," Pawlenty said. The Romney campaign's focus is jobs and the economy, he said.
He said Romney has released his 2010 tax return and an estimate of last year's return, but Democrats and some Republicans have said he should release more. Other Republicans have countered that Obama should release his college transcripts.
"Why does Pawlenty think Romney should get to vet him, but the American people shouldn't get to vet Romney?" said New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Raymond Buckley.
Pawlenty said the limited government, individual responsibility ethos of New Hampshire conflicts with Obama's government-centered approach to problem solving.
New Hampshire polls show Romney and Obama in a virtual tie, with the Democratic President's approval rating dropping.
"For an incumbent President to have these soft numbers, approval numbers as low as he does, indicates the country's not happy with him," Pawlenty said.
Buckley said both Romney and Pawlenty are failed governors who left their states in financial disarray and with piles of debt.

Don't let the picnic hampers, fold-out chairs and all-terrain pushchairs put you off - Latitude Festival may be the summer's most middle-class event, but it's also one of the UK's most diverse and unique outdoor experiences - just don't try to jump the queue for the Costa coffee van in the pre-12pm rush for cappucinos and mochas.
Twin Shadow opens our Latitude experience, performing the lush woodland hillside of Henham Park. His eighties-influenced electronic-indie sounds incredible, but the steep incline and exceptionally low roof at The I Arena make seeing any of the action impossible for anyone on the outskirts.
Lana Del Rey proves an early highlight of the weekend, putting on a surprisingly stunning performance in The Word Arena, performing with confidence, charm and charisma, lighting a trademark cigarette and even jumping off the stage to perform from the photographers' pit before closing with 'National Anthem' - this year's essential festival jam.
Janelle Monae proves a worthy main stage performer with her funk-soul sounds ahead of Bon Iver's Friday night headline slot. The US star's performance was haunting and ethereral - but failed to pack the punch you might expect from a main stage headliner, leaving many people (us included) wandering off to find something more energetic to end our first night with.
Scheduling was a problem across the weekend, with many artists performing in unsuitable time-slots or unlikely stages. Dance highlights SBTRKT and M83 performed in ridiculously early slots on the Saturday and Sunday, despite both putting on two of the most energetic performances of the weekend. Of Monsters And Men put on an achingly-perfect performance on Saturday afternoon, but once again The I Arena proved incapable of providing a decent viewpoint as hundreds descended to see the Icelandic stars on the tricky-to-see stage. On the plus side however, the band's performance staked their claim as future festival headliners, with a flawless set of soaring tracks.
On the flipside, jazz-star Esperanza Spalding was wasted in a mainstage afternoon set, her subtle soul sounds all but blown out of the park as the picnicking audience munched down on the (admittedly delicious) haloumi and chorizo baps which were a festival food revelation. Thank goodness for the Waitrose set.
Elbow's epic Saturday night set was another highlight, and the strongest headline slot of the weekend, climaxing in a firework display, while late night attendees in the BAFTA tent were treated to a 12:30am performance from Country & Western star Wanda Jackson, who's tear-jerking tribute to Amy Winehouse had her gathered audience in sombre silence as she performed her 'Tears Dry On Their Own' cover.
Sunday opened with early afternoon performances from Rufus Wainwright and Alabama Shakes - the latter justifying ever inch of hype with their 45 minute performance. The might of singer Brittany Howard's voice losing non of its impact in the enormous main-stage setting.
More line-up confusion ensued with Simple Minds performing before Bat For Lashes and Ben Howard on the main stage. With all audience energy generated from 'Don't You Forget About Me' and 'Alive And Kicking' vanishing as the tempo dropped into Sunday evening.
Latitude falls down on many levels - the questionable scheduling, an infuriating bar system (£3 for a plastic cup, bar staff refusing to serve attendees who looked under 30) and the sheer number of people sat reading Kindles with their backs to the bands - but thanks to a brilliant line-up and stunning location was a success. A few tweaks to the scheduling issues, and Latitude could be set to rival the big-hitters on the UK festival scene.
Below: the highlights of Latitude 2012

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka, 3 October 2012 – Sarath* had been living and working abroad. Until a few years ago, he had also been a successful track and field athlete, competing in 400-metre races and the triple jump. Then he contracted HIV from a sexual partner.
UNICEF correspondent Rajat Madhok reports on advocates living with HIV and cricketers who are raising awareness about HIV in Sri Lanka and other countries. Watch in RealPlayer |
At first, he had no idea what HIV was. By the time he realized what had happened, his employer had fired him and asked him to leave the country within 48 hours. Sarath took the next flight home to Sri Lanka.
Home to face stigma
It took Sarath months to come to terms with the reality of being HIV-positive. It took another few years before he could confide in his loved ones. While his sister and mother stood by him, his friends shunned him almost immediately.
Every day, across the world, HIV infects about 2,500 young people between the ages of 15 and 24. Stigma against people living with HIV is still rife in many countries. Reducing discrimination is therefore critical, as is increasing awareness among and about groups at high risk of infection.

Sarath (name changed) is living with HIV. A few years ago, he dreamed of a career as a track and field athlete, but destiny had other plans. He is now a Think Wise campaign volunteer, committed to raising awareness about HIV. |
Having faced stigma and discrimination associated with being HIV-positive, Sarath decided to fight the disease by doing what he could to spread awareness and end the stigma.
"One day, I just decided to face reality and accept this. Then I wanted to help others who were living with HIV, as I felt many of them were being discriminated against and suffering as a result of it. I saw society not accepting them. And so I wanted to advocate on behalf of them. I felt I could make a difference," he says.
Bringing an anti-stigma message on the road
Recently, Sarath traveled across the length and breadth of Sri Lanka by bus with a group of other people living with HIV to raise awareness about HIV and about how people can keep themselves safe. The team used everything from posters to kites to street theatre to get their message across.

The Think Wise campaign is a joint effort among the International Cricket Council, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS and UNICEF. Cricket stars from across Africa, Asia and the Caribbean come together to tackle discrimination and to raise awareness about HIV/AIDS. |
The road show was part of the Think Wise campaign, a joint effort among the International Cricket Council, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS and UNICEF. The campaign features cricket stars from across Africa, Asia and the Caribbean who leverage their popularity and make people rally under such slogans as – 'Get the facts – protect yourself' and 'Think wise. Don't stigmatize.'
As part of this campaign, cricketers reach out to children and youth during interactive sessions at big tournaments where both HIV awareness and cricketing tips are on the programme.
"Sport plays a major role in building a nation, and obviously with these kinds of events being so huge, it can only bring a lot of attention to a lot of people, and we are certainly grateful to be part of it – and hopefully we can create some sort of a difference within our world and our countries," says South African cricketer JP Duminy.
© UNICEF Sri Lanka/2012/Madhok |
During a street theatre performance, part of the Think Wise campaign, Sarath plays the part of a person living with HIV telling others not to shun him. |
Breaking the silence that helps spread HIV
UNICEF Representative in Sri Lanka Reza Hossaini discusses the importance of raising awareness: "Sarath is not alone in this journey. Tens of thousands of young people get the fear of stigma and discrimination. They do not go for testing, even though they know that they have had a risky behaviour. They do not seek medical help and psychosocial support when they know they are HIV-positive, and this silence actually helps in silently spreading the virus. We strongly believe that, through the power of cricket, we can motivate and we can encourage the young people to speak out to seek help when they need and increase the public awareness in general."
Sarath is on antiretroviral therapy, and he has been leading a healthy life. Proper treatment and care will ensure he remains healthy and can carry on fighting against the virus that has changed the course of his life. He hopes to make a difference in the lives of those who either don't know about HIV or are too afraid to ask.
Sometimes, he slips into a reverie, wishing that he could still be running on the field and not watching from the sidelines. Nevertheless, his resolve to help and protect those who suffer from HIV only grows stronger.
*Name has been changed to protect his identity.

Dim sum.....one of my favourite past times. I love going out for dim sum. I remember back when I was a child and we would go on a weekend, off and on, for this delectable Chinese cuisine.
Dim sum is a Cantonese term for a type of Chinese meal that involves small individual portions of food, usually food is pushed around on carts by servers and served in a small steamer baskets or on small plates. The server stamps your card to mark your order. Going for dim sum is usually known in Cantonese as going to "drink tea" (yum cha, 飲茶).

Alrighty. So I know religious threads don't usually fair very well on SOMB. I hoping this will be different, but it probably won't. So here goes (just try to keep it clean & respectful guys).
Do you believe in the 2nd coming of Jesus (or even the 1st) & do you believe in the signs supposedly happening now (and to come) that allude to the 2nd coming (per Revelations)?
I have to preference, I am very neutral in this discussion. I was brought up in a religious home, but have since drifted to various opinions, nothing substantial. I just thought this would be an interesting topic.

Hmmm. Could have been a wonderful experience but too much crammed into too little space. A little too aggressive selling wine and the aisles are a bit narrow. Variety is okay but not everything is of the best quality, i mean c'm if you're gonna sell truffle oil couldn't you have chosen a good one?
Meat department shines but all their pork has been brines but if you like spending money on salt water, go for it. BUT, too much of the meat is dry packed disallowing any real butchering or options with regard to fat - the main component of flavor in meat. They try but they just don't have the goods. Now that there is a REAL Whole Foods in town they will need to pick up their game.
There ARE independent butchers and fishmongers in town that put this place to shame.
Their produce is well waxed and geometrically piled but has very little variety. Where exactly do I find Escarole or Rapini?
Too bad one can not award half stars because it honestly only deserves two and a half from me.
I was at HDS a month ago, and it was like losing an old friend. The Grill had always been one of my favorites, true unaffected Arizona style, comfortable setting, good food. A place to relax with family and friends. It has changed for the worse. Now there is an amuse bouche, how un-western can you get and little cups of chocolate. The service which used to be quiet and unassuming, now is trying to be like New York. Pretentious and overbearing. I will say the steak was perfection, so all is not lost. However, the other diners reported they were not so lucky and much of the dinner went uneaten.
Lets Dance club events here are well attended with nicely dressed folks, a good instructor for the first hour and different musical groups providing live music. Light refreshments are included in the price of admission. dancers range from novice to compititions level skills. Large room with suitalbe floor, chairs and tables, and a stage. Entrance in back of building where there is plenty of Free parking.

I give this chain music store 3 stars out of 5 based on selection alone. GC has tried to adopt a retail-like store mentality lately. They are attempting to due away with bargaining which helped to make them a viable choice for the savvy musician. Now they attempt to lock prices on you and try to sell you items at around 20% off retail. By the way, a top Gibson electric is marked up no less than 60%. Hear that? 60 plus percent! Boss effects? Huge markups folks. So what is a good deal on say a Les Paul or an American made Strat? Not 20-25% off! Shoot for close to 40% or walk. CG can more than afford to make such deals when they want because, for one, they buy in huge volume. Moreover, they make their poor sales people work five to six 10 hour days work for peanuts.

Ways for cancer patients and caregivers to cope with cancer, side effects, nutrition, general cancer support issues, grief/end of life issues, and shared survivor's experiences.
Frequently Asked Questions / Types of Cancer / Lung Cancers / General Concerns
The University of Pennsylvania School of Nursing
Last Modified: May 8, 2013
I heard it is better to get a CT scan rather than an x-ray of your chest. If you are at risk for lung cancer, is this true? If so, why does my family doctor say my insurance will not pay for it?
Taine Pechet, MD, Thoracic Surgeon at Penn Medicine, responds:
You are correct that the CT scan provides more information than the chest x-ray. There have been a lot of trials looking to show that any type of radiographic screening is effective when looking at large populations. It is only recently that this has been shown, with CT scans used for screening in patients at a high risk of developing a lung cancer in the future showing an overall survival benefit. Unfortunately, as this is a recent finding, and there is no consensus on the use of chest imaging for screening of lung cancer, many insurance companies are still not paying for the screening study, but I expect that will change in the coming years. Your family doctor may be able to cite the New England Journal of Medicine publication to help persuade the insurance company to pay.
You can learn more about the results of the National Lung Screening Trial study in Dr. Torigian's presentation at the CANPrevent Lung Cancer Conference.
Dr. Rustgi discusses genomics and cancer and translating laboratory research into clinical practice. Read more.

Vittoria Zaffiro Pro 2 Tire - Clincher
- Item: VIT0016 Actual Weight:"Actual Weight" means we weighed this item ourselves. 253 g
Sale from $19.50
The Vittoria Zaffiro Pro II Clincher Tire fulfills a wide variety of needs to an equally wide variety of riders. Constructed with Vittoria's durable Aramid Endura compound, the Zaffiro Pro II is built to roll fast, far, and without incident. The nylon Puncture Resistant Belt (PRB) found in Vittoria's higher-tier rubber, like the Open Corsa and the Rubino, is also used here. The Zaffiro Pro II accomplishes all this without adding an exceptional amount of rotating weight. Its newly developed tread, with deeper grooves in the middle and shallower shoulders, means you'll get excellent cornering in both wet and dry conditions. Since it's a 60 TPI tire, the overall cost is reasonably low for the high-quality performance. Black tread with black sidewalls only, leaving you to choose from 700C x 23mm or 25mm widths.

Escape From Mount Stupid - X-COM
Danny hunts down enemies unknown in Escape From Mount Stupid's history of the X-COM series.
The original UFO: Enemy Unknown is held in such high regard that it's easy to forget the series' tumultuous history. This is a franchise that has swapped hands around half a dozen times. A series with several canned sequels--and dodgy spin-off--that could have easily been left forgotten in gaming history.
When Take Two picked up the IP in 2005, the response from fans around the world was incredible. The passion for the classic games--combined with the growing apathy towards first person shooters--had fans demanding a turn-based reincarnation of the series. What they didn't know, was that a team was already hard at work creating that game; XCOM: Enemy Unknown will finally be released next week.
Whether you're a fan from the good old days, or a new gamer wondering what all the fuss is about, I hope this brief history of the games and the people behind them reminds you of just how lucky we are that a new XCOM game was ever even made.
NOTE: At 8:14 we incorrectly showed footage of the open-source XCOM inspired game 'UFO: Alien Invasion' when referring to the Hasbro title 'X-Com: First Alien Invasion'. We apologise for the error. For more information, or to download and play UFO Alien Invasion, please visit www.ufoai.org.

loved Ufo Enemy Unknown. as soon as I finished the last mission on Mars I started the game again and kept playing. highly addictive! one of my all time favs. ;)
Awesome show as always Danny and as someone mentioned below can you do an episode about blood omen and soul reaver games that would be awesome !
Even with Firaxis I am worried it just won't live up to my memories of the original games which I loved.
I miss turn based games and have never played these games, now I'm genuinely interested in playing XCOM enemy unknown, great show Danny
Played Ufo Defense when it first came out. It is my favorite computer game of all time, I could lose 8 or 9 hours at a time in that game. I really liked this piece Danny. You answered many questions I have always had about why it has taken so many years for something like Enemy Unknown to come out. Well done.
Have to say man, most of the videos that involving gamespot staff, well suck... Gamers need a face they can trust and gamespot needs it desperately.
You are it... hope others see that as well...
Every place needs that one guy that one gamer guy...
I loved the episode, its always interesting to see other game series that i haven't played before
Next Week - Resident Evil Yay!!!! Cant wait!!!
Some pretty weak arguments against my original post about how the new game is dumbed down compared to apocalypse.
I won't bother with the many reasons, except to say that when you start a game in the original ufo or apocalypse, you just see the geoscape/cityscape, and the ufos start coming. You learn about cover/tactics not through a tutorial, but on the corpses of your first few squads.
Anyway, I'm not a hater. A dumbed down xcom is still better than 99% of other games out there. And its introducing a new generation to the style of game. We're on the same team.
@KidRockNZ Not dumbed down, improved. Got rid of annoying excess stuff the original game's creators were too short-sighted to predict. Glad I could clear that up for you
Well, what some call excess stuff others call depth. I'm sure we could discuss that all day long....let's not.
@KidRockNZ ...sigh... See, back in the day there were these things called manuals... and this game had a pretty good one... it even had a 20 page tutorial section in it that walked you thru all the systems and held your hand all dumbed down like.
I don't know any of these games,But I love the show,Danny could make a game about something as boring as haggis sound fun.Keep up the good work Thanks.
I tried out the X-COM Enemy Unknown demo on Steam last night, and I was very impressed. It was pretty fun. I'm looking forward to trying out the full game out very soon.
Althoug ugly, x-com apocalypse is the best game I ever played!
I don't really think this new release will be better, but will be awesome anyway.
I think there was also a X-COM PBEM (play by e-mail).
And anotehr version of laser squad was done around 2000 i guess.
Firaxis hasn't done itself any favors releasing its XCOM demo on Steam because it has to rank as one of the shortest, most tight-fisted, no effort-spent demos ever. We can only hope the time not spent creating a decent demo has been spent making the full game even more awesome.
First time i've actually watched one of these video's form this video series, and actually they are pretty good. I might even give XCOM: Enemy Unknown a try, as i've always been a fan of strategy games.
P.S.I liked the jab at IGN there...good job >_>
My favorite X-Com is Apocalypse. Its probably the worst looking game I've ever played, but the mechanics were solid. I replayed it just months ago, cant wait for the new Firaxis version.
Great feature!
@TERMINATOR-SSD There is a Legacy of Kain - Soulreaver reboot in progress read ===> http://www.gamespot.com/news/crystal-dynamics-rebooting-soul-reaver-report-6367143
I find games that allow my squad to die forever emotionally scaring. Not in a bad way... I remember years ago playing a Fire Emblem and making it to the very end where I had to sacrifice a squad mate to win... They live forever in my memory.
Good stuff but it might have been more interesting to talk about the ealier roots of the series: Chaos, Rebelstar Raiders and Rebelstar as these give a true picture of the origins of the Julian Gollop's turn-based style rather than spending time on those crappy later games. Especially Rebelstar, which is an amazing game. Just a thought, other than that, a great video.
I really like "Escape from Mount Stupid" ...... and this XCOM... whoa... you dont know how long i've waited for this game...
Remember "jus aboutt" UFO: Enemy Unknown but i think i was too busy playing Command & Conquer and painting warhammer :) Love the IGN diss to, i can not see how they gave RE6 7.9 is laughable the demo was total pony!!
Thanks for an informative and interesting vid. I've never played an X-Com game and probably never will. But these vids are great fun. Looking forward to Res Evil. So much material to work with, you'll be spoiled for choice!
I remember when I got a demo disc from a jumble sale (yard sale for you yanks) with something stupid like 101 PC demos on.. Straight away UFO: Enemy Unknown got my attention because it had the word UFO in.. I was 7 :P
But yeah.. bit too young to appreciate it really. The gameplay SERIOUSLY confused me as it was all turn-based, and the movement points thing just got me completely lost.. To be fair though I didn't have a clue what I was even doing.
Either way this video of Danny's is a good one! Fills in the missing gaps of my childhood. I've been watching the XCOM teasers for a while now and will likely pick it up.
Good work!
If you want a bit of a nostalgia trip Joystiq did up a "then and now" video montage of all the icon features of X-COM like the Geoscape and you can see the differences the new version has. http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/13/video-from-x-com-to-xcom/ Quick video too, only 4 minutes long.
@warhawk-geeby sure np, I liked the vid and if it makes people like XCOM a bit more like myself then that's just self serving really lol.
One thing that still bugs me. Isn't it 2K Games that acquired and now develops the franchise?
@picho86 Firaxis is the developer, probably the best strategy game developer in the business. 2K just handle the Publishing, like advertising, distribution and stuff. Same for Gearbox and Borderlands 2.
@Joeguy00 I know... I used the wrong wording. I was talking about Take 2 not having a part in the franchise AFAIK.
@picho86 After using the power of Google (which I will hence forth take all credit for) they are indeed the same company. 2KGames is actually part of Take-Two. They own Rockstar and 2KGames, so that means they make Grand Theft Auto and everything. Heavy hitters.
@Joeguy00 After a tiny bit of research I'm even more confused. In an IGN article about the shooter, at first they wrote Take-two, but later they wrote 2K Games. Are they the same? Is everyone wrong? Am I going crazy?:)
The first game was amazing. I don't know why I didn't play the second but oh, well, I think I'll try out enemy unknown
Loved the first game! Never played the sequels, but the new one looks awsome. I like that its coming out for consoles also because its just more fun if you are sitting at a friends house and just seeing the game on tv! And for a fodnote i so enjoy all most all games from Sid and his team! Civ Rev was an awsome game, even if you didnt play yourself but only watched!
@Sprock26 The fact i'ts even on console is not good, totally ruined the game. All interfaces are made to support that awful gamepad..... so no more x-com on this one. I think they'd better use a differnet title because this is not X-com ... this is something different. And costs too much for what this game is offering...
@virus10101 Well just dont play it if you dont like it. Iam not going to go into a big debate about which platform is the best. I like the console as i said because its just more social. I think its about time the dev started making more strategy games for consoles!
@Joeguy00 i'm going to see ... if i like that 1 i'd really that will happen.
But for now i think it will be very very hard.
@virus10101 Yeah PM me over GameSpot what you think about, it is always good to hear both sides and I'd like to know if you ended up liking it.
@Joeguy00 cool tonight i'll order ! Then once played we may argue better :D and fight again !!!
@virus10101 @Sprock26 Yeah its SteamWorks, so will work perfect plus you get the physical copy too. (Which I always like)
I actually bought XCOM: EU for ?33 from GameStop a little while ago, you can order it cheap online or from the store and see whether you are right or not. Its the simplest way and at least you'll have tried it then and will have a stronger understanding of the mechanics. - I'll give a link. (Sorry if there is a cheaper place) http://www.gamestop.ie/PC/Games/12169/xcom-enemy-unknown?previousUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gamestop.ie%2FSearchResult%2FQuickSearch%3Fq%3DXCOM%20Enemy%20Unknown
@Sprock26 as i told to another guy i have enough experience on gaming to say that. I said (after the foirst beta that swtor and tws would have failed => i was right, and tons of other circumstances). I always see comments like your and about fan.boys trying to say the game is great and so when it is not, and time always give me reason. This time wont be different.
Today's fps may be bot not older games where no one was telling you what to do, now you have markers everywhere you do not even need to bother to look around because the game does most of the objective tracking.But this is an off topic argument. so go back to the topic.
Game mechanics can be clearly seen from the demo and the videos, and that's all we should need to evaulate a title.
I think that this game is worth nothing more than 35 ?, i wont pay a full price for this one. As i ask onyone, i ask you too : will you pay 1000000 ? for a Fiat Panda?
GW2 is a game that is worth the tripa A and the full price but not most of the today's games.
I will play this game, for sure, but only when it's price will be right. Full price for this title is a theft.
@virus10101 How can you say that this game will suck before youve played it. Yeah maybe you tried the demo from Steam, but thats just some of the gameplay. Conserning you statement that you cant develop a good rts... Now ive only played Civ5 a little bit, but how many buttons did you really need to play that - a mouse? And you are definitely in titled to your opinion that these types of games are only for mind-less people. But for me most fps are for mind-less people so thats just your opinion!

Which online stores have the best prices for loose leaf tea?
I find that loose leaf tea is quite expensive—especially when blended. Which online stores have the best prices for the best quality teas? I am looking specifically for herbal blends.
Thanks to all willing to impart their wisdom!
I work for Rishi Tea, and our website www.rishi-tea.com has all of our Loose-Leaf Teas available for sale!
I love Rishi teas. Good selection and great value. I think some of the other tea companies buy from them.
Matty, Is "Rishi Ancient Tree Earl Grey Organic Fair Trade" currently available? A Rishi site search can't seem to find it. Thanks.
