What is the value of the AMA blood test?
AMA are detectable in the serum in 95 to 98% of patients with PBC. So, AMA are tremendously important as a diagnostic marker in patients with PBC. The AMA titers in PBC are almost universally greater than or equal to 1 to 40. This means that a serum sample diluted with 40 times its original volume still contains enough antimitochondrial antibodies to be detected in the binding reaction. A positive AMA with a titer of at least 1:40 in an adult with an elevated alkaline phosphatase in the blood is highly specific for a diagnosis of PBC.

THE WALKING DEAD Getting
Another New Showrunner!!
Glen Mazzara, chosen by AMC to replace "Shawshank Redemption" writer-director Frank Darabont as "The Walking Dead's" showrunner subsequent to Darabont's firing, is himself leaving, is himself departing "Dead."
Mazzara will be leaving subsequent to the current, third season, which resumes with new episodes Feb. 10.
We've no word on who will serve as showrunner for season four.
Serving as showrunner on the widely reviled first season of Starz' "Crash: The Series," Mazzara was replaced before season two on the Starz series by the great "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine" showrunner Ira Steven Behr.
Mazzara replaced Darabont midway through season two of "Walking Dead," around the time Sophia's return was being written. There were many subsequent season-two episodes featuring people wandering Hershel Greene's farm talking about their post-apocalypse feelings.
For season three Mazzara remained showrunner, but many new writers were hired, among them "Sopranos" writer Frank Renzulli. Perhaps he'll be named the third "Walking Dead" showrunner
The third season has been much, much better so far, except perhaps for "Made To Suffer," the season three episode scripted by Robert Kirkman, who writes the "Walking Dead" comic books.
Press release:
Today, AMC announces the season 4 pick-up of The Walking Dead.
AMC also jointly announces with Glen Mazzara today that for future seasons, the two parties have mutually decided to part ways. Glen guided the series creatively for seasons 2 and 3. AMC is grateful for his hard work. We are both proud of our shared success.
Both parties acknowledge that there is a difference of opinion about where the show should go moving forward, and conclude that it is best to part ways. This decision is amicable and Glen will remain on for post-production on season 3B as showrunner and executive producer.

"Difference of opinion" = Kirkman had that with Darabont as well
by Hardboiled Wonderland
If Nichole Beattie is staying, whom I credit for season 3's turnaround in quality, then TWD should be ok. But Kirkman is too close to his baby, he needs to step away imho.

Herc really cant bear to give Mazzarra any credit can he
by judge dredds fresh undies
Can't resist mentioning this starz crash show yet again (whatever that was) and the second half of season 2 was no worse than the first half, it was consistantly poor. Anyway, AMC's continuing friction with the creatives is worrying...

The unknown factor in all of this is Robert Kirkman...
by Prof. Pop-Cult
How much control, pull has he had with the show? I always assumed he was on staff under a creative consulting capacity when it comes to his executive producer title. But has he clashed with Mazzarra (and maybe before him, with Darabont) and AMC sided with him? Then there's Gale Anne Hurd, whom we hardly hear much of -- isn't it her production company that produces the series for AMC? Is it actually Hurd and Kirkman who run this series?
Dec. 22, 2012, 7:30 a.m. CST
I get the distinct impression Herc has a personal grudge
by OutsideChance
...against Mazzara. The level of venom and the completely one-sided coverage (everything that goes wrong on a show he worked on is his fault; everything good is due to another) seems like animus, not analysis. This is part of the problem with allowing anonymous columnists here: no way of knowing if the criticism is merit based or personality driven.
Dec. 22, 2012, 9:02 a.m. CST
outsidechance, Herc is being Herc
by submarinevoyage
Herc completely bases his opinion on someone's career on the thing he first knows them for. He rarely alters his opinion or owns up to a person whose work he previously liked disappointing him or a person he disliked impressing him. Sure, most of us might say that while Crash was terrible, Mazzara also had written for the excellent The Shield previous to that and that the one season of The Walking Dead he was in complete control of, Season 3, was the most confident and well-receieved. But for Herc, Glen Mazzara is completely defined by Crash and so he can't be praised for other things Herc might like.

Honestly don't get the hate for season 2
by theGoldbergV
There are 3 really dumb things in that season, and 2 of them came after Darabont was fired/left/whateverthefuckhappened. First is Glen going in the well. Dumb. Second was the way Dale got killed. Naff, and a poor way to write out what was once a great character. I get that DeMunn wanted to leave, but to have his death basically be a punchline was weak. Then Lori's car crash. Amazingly contrived. Single most eye-rolling moment on the show so far. The rest of the season was great. The slower pace just made the reveal of Sofia in the barn all the more heartbreaking, and with the notable exception of T-Dogg they did a good job of developing the characters. Half of the problem was there's never been an ongoing zombie TV series before, so it was like people expected it to have the pace of a movie. You can't have zombie attacks every episode, it'll get repetitive. Season 3 has still been a great leap forward though, but season 2 wasn't that bad to begin with. Nothing in s2 was as bad as the CDC episode. You know what would be fucking awesome? Get David Milch in as showrunner. Everyone'll become all poetic and eloquent and even the zombies will start monologuing.

I have trouble putting any faith in AMC
by heyoucantlaughatthat
First they were lowballing Breaking Bad on their budget, there's been all this personnel trouble with Walking Dead, meanwhile they're bringing shows like Small Town Security to the screen, with another bizarre taxidermy show coming next year. Why don't they just keep nurturing the three incredible shows they already have (Mad Men, BB, WD) instead of trying to buy in to the "weird profession reality show" game??

Kicking Your Hero in the Teeth
by agnes
This "difference of opinion" can only be one thing: Mazzara did his best for two seasons with the ludicrously small budget AMC was willing to spend on TWD and then had the balls to suggest that, maybe, given that the show gets more viewers than anything else on AMC, they might want to actually spend some cash on it. Here's the thing about the farm house, and the prison and all the other places that the characters have hidden out for multiple episodes: That was NEVER Mazzara's first choice. That's what he HAD to do, because he had a budget that forced him to use existing sets X number of times per episode, and to build new sets only Y times per season (X is a pretty big number; Y is a very, very small number). IT IS AN EFFING MIRACLE the show has the ratings and the viewers it has, given that it was a zombie show being shot like an episode of "ER." That should be impossible -- how can you rationally keep a group of people in the same locations for any period of time, given that if peril shows up, any sane person would run? And yet, he pulled it off. But Mazzara knows there's only so many times you can work that magic trick -- and judging from Herc's snark, maybe it only partly worked -- so since he's achieved the impossible, he asked AMC to help him keep the show vibrant. He didn't ask for $30 million, he didn't fly his cast to Hawaii, he just wanted the money to mix it up a little -- shooting on location, or or building new sets more than once a season is expensive, but it's not going to bust the bank and everyone knows it. Basically, he was doing his job -- protecting the show and his employers' investment in the show -- and their response was to kick him out the door. (The only thing I'll say on AMC's side is that they might mistakenly believe that if you give your showrunner an inch, he'll take your balls -- that's what happened on MM and AMC has taken several financial hits for it -- but if you can't tell that a decent, collaborative guy like Glenn Mazzara is a thousand miles away from MWeiner, you need to cut back on the martinis.)
Dec. 22, 2012, 1:14 p.m. CST
I think AMC thinks the show writes itself...
by tangcameo
...with comics with new plotlines popping out every once in a while. And that everyone's watching to watch people kill zombies and not thinking its as deep as Mad Men or as complex as Breaking Bad. They're wondering what they can dump and save money and still watch this show chug along. Wouldn't be surprised if after the next one or two seasons they shove another showrunner out the door of this hit, thinking "lets try someone even cheaper!"
Dec. 22, 2012, 2:29 p.m. CST
This is crap
by Humie Bubbie
Mazzara has been in charge of the ship since the show turned around. The last few eps of season 2 and all of season 3 have been rock solid television. You can't discount that by saying there are another one or two good writers on staff. It's the whole flow of the show that changed for the better, and that has to be about the showrunner.

Since no one knows
by jason
Since no one knows what the difference of opinion is about it's hard to comment on this. I too would be interested to learn just how involved Kirkman is. I'm a fan of the comics, read them all, but much of what's going on with the comics is lather, rinse and repeat. The prison story was pretty much the highlight of the series, Kirkman hasn't been able to top that. And although I quite enjoy the tv-show, it's very much a watered down version of that story. I'm thinking that they should have focused on a different group of survivors for the tv-series, expand the Walking Dead universe in different mediums. Like the computer games are about different survivors, so should the tv-show have been about someone other than Rick.
Dec. 22, 2012, 3:45 p.m. CST
My take on AMC.
by Finn
AMC's reality shows aren't the problem. Those shows cost the network very little money and are usually done by other production companies. In fact, if their reality shows turn a profit they can invest more money in their dramas. The problem with AMC is that their executives get involved with creative descicions. Show runners tend to be pretty creatively invested, and when you bring in someone else to micro-manage the storytelling and how money is spent, show runners are put in an unfulfilling position. Amc and its executives are still toddlers when it comes to experience and handling their successes. They're only going to grow up when one of their shows takes a dive in the rating because of their meddling, and it hasn't happened yet. They've been lucky so far.

Glen Mazzarra's gone?
by Baked
Oh well. Makes me wonder who is responsible for: 1) The horrible pacing and tail chasing from the last half of Season 2 (which, while slightly more exciting than the first half of Season 2, made a shitbag less sense). 2) Sticking Michonne with the Idiot Ball. 3) The musical chairs of black male characters and their subsequent lack of actual fucking dialogue since Mazzarra joined the crew. And if this will magically go away now that Mazzarra's gone.
Dec. 22, 2012, 8:01 p.m. CST
submarinevoyage, but I thought Herc liked "the Shield"
by OutsideChance
Under your theory, since Mazarra worked on that first, Herc should be a fan.

If Ira Steven Behr were there to helm. Say what you will but there are some DS9 episodes that would make great movies.

If you had the creative team behind Justified working on it. Seasons two and 3 of that show were superb, through and through. The Governor is pretty good, but if he was half as intersting as Boyd Crowder...

outsidechance - true
by submarinevoyage
True, Herc does like The Shield, but he decided that since he didn't like Crash, which Mazzara ran, Mazzara must suck. So Herc hints Walking Dead Season 3 was better because of the writing staff, not Mazzara running it... and I guess somehow Mazzara working as one of the writing staff on The Shield meant nothing. Suffice to say, I don't get it either.
Dec. 22, 2012, 11:06 p.m. CST
by grendel69
Funny people hated the show the first 3 seasons and I used to defend it all the time. History has been a bit kinder to it, and people finally have realized what a great show it was. Dukat, Garak, Weyoun, Dumar, Sisko and Dax, Odo...great stuff... used to love watching those characters interact with each other. Despite my love for the OS and TNG, DS9 was the best Trek.
Dec. 23, 2012, 1:05 a.m. CST
by Hercules
Mazzara was just one of many, many writers on "The Shield" working under showrunner Shawn Ryan. On the horrible first season of Starz' "Crash," Mazzara was the showrunner.

Someday this will all make
by Truxton Spangler
an interesting quote from one of the principals, or a semi-interesting magazine article about what really happened behind the scenes. For today, unless they bring in someone like Shonda Rhimes to run the show, it might not make much of a difference (especially if it's Kirkman or Hurd pulling the strings). AMC I don't give two shits about, as long as they don't interfere with the last eight episodes of Breaking Bad, or the remaining seasons of Mad Men. I don't think either Gillian, and certainly not Weiner, would allow that to happen.
Dec. 23, 2012, 5:10 a.m. CST
Kirkman and Hurd are running things more than any so-called show-runner...
by thomasjarvis
That much is obviousy to anyone who's been following that post-show wank-fest The Talking Dead hosted by Chris Hardwick (I say that with affection). Kirman is on there almost as much as Nicotero and company. He's always explaining why he chose to veer off from his own comics in this way or that. I suspect the licencing deal he snagged for the comics franchise allow him far more creative rights than most would think. I have a cousin really into the comics who claims that most within the fan-community feel that the quality of the books have declined somewhat since Kirkman has turned his focus increasingly toward the television series. I suspect if Kirkman butts heads with a show-runner, the show-runner will inevitably be the one to depart, not Kirkman. History bears this out.

by Dancingforever
Has been the ultimate voice in creative, but i think all three season have been solid so far. Let's hope that part two of this season is as good and Rick doesn't get his hand cut off lolz. That's another change they could make from the comics that would be welcome.

by theGoldbergV
I have only seen season 1 once and am planning on watching it all again so maybe my view might change but I hated the CDC episode. The countdown clock, the lone guy going crazy, the talking computers, it was like watching a syfy TV movie version of a zombie show. Nothing like the gritty 5 episodes previous to that
Dec. 23, 2012, 5:50 p.m. CST
Regardless of which writer you think turned the show around....
by Scott Baiowulf
The face of the matter is the Glen, as showrunner, is the one who made the decision to hire them, so he deserves all the credit for this season's success. It's a shame it's come to this again. AMC definitely won't be able to pull a quality showrunner after how they've treated the previous two. I'd guess they'll promote from within and Evan Reilly gets the gig. If not, I hope they can pull someone from the Breaking Bad writer's room who's never show run before.
Dec. 23, 2012, 8:14 p.m. CST
@thomasjarvis That makes some sense
by Humie Bubbie
The comic has been veering between what it does best, the exploration of a world without rules and morality, and into much more comic booky territory. The Governor as portrayed in the comics was very comic booky, the first time that the storyline didn't feel realistic. Now as Kirkman is working on the show, he's brought in Neegan, a villain who really seems like he's out of a Mad Max spoof rather than The Walking Dead. The book has peaked, I'm just hoping they wrap Rick's story up at some point soon and don't drag the comic on forever. Let the character die with some dignity.

by Kyle
If they followed the source material ala Frank Miller/Robert Rodriguez did for Sin City...but they had to be fancy smancy and add new characters and more gay newness. Totally uneccesary, like spitting in my face. Fuck that show. I watched the first season and had no desire to watch anymore. I read the comics, and I find myself getting pissed the fuck off that I have to wait a month to find out what happens next because they're so flipping awesome and engrossing...man I wish they'd pump those comics out like Marvel is popping out those NOW titles...

The "Real" Showrunner of Any Show...
by agnes
....isn't the person who has time to sit on the set of a talk show and natter on about "what we were going for." The real showrunner is the man or woman who's in the writers' office everyday, breaking story in the room, taking phone calls from set about stuff they're shooting in half an hour and staying late to read drafts and give notes. And anyone who's ever set foot in TWD offices knows that's Mazzara. He did a thankless job about as well as it can be done and AMC was even less gracious than expected.

About this Costume
- Construction Details:
I am in love/obsessed with Utena. The concept, visuals, soundtrack, and characters are my favorite of any anime I've seen. I chose to make Juri's student council uniform because she's awesome and wears a lot of orange. I made this costume by heavily altering commercial patterns and tailoring them to my body type. I learned a lot about sewing in making her pants and top. My husbando/bff Josh made the epaulettes for me out of balsa wood, paperclay, and posterboard so that they were light enough to attach to my shoulders with velcro. The rose holder pin was made out of sculpy, which never really hardened properly. I used an enamel paint on it, which also never cured right, so the day I wore Juri at Anizona '06, I got gold paint all over my pants and top. :C RUINED.
- Personal Thoughts:
- I'm really pleased with how this costume turned out, for my second costume. My only regret is that I didn't branch out and use a wig. Juri's hair is awesome, and I'm not sure that real hair can really replicate it.

Not much for cabin tech or fuel economy, the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 is more show car and weekend racer than everyday driver.
The 2010 Chevrolet Camaro LT is largely about style, although it isn't bad on the performance side. For cabin tech, only a few essentials are available.
Pricing not available
From robots in disguise to the revival of a classic marquee, Chevy's building excitement around its sportiest models at SEMA 2013.
Even though the country roads of the U.K. aren't the Camaro's natural habitat, we still tried to take it for an American-style road trip.
It's big, brash and full of muscle, but the Chevrolet Camaro isn't very good. But we still love it.
Bringing a muscle car to Britain is a square peg/round hole affair. We'd love it to work, but it really doesn't.
With its ultraretro style, the Camaro became an instant hit. Now, the Camaro ZL1 marks a new level of performance for the sport coupe, making it a true muscle car.
The brawniest, meanest, most gas-guzzling Camaro ever made.
The ZL1 is a beast, with a more raw edge than the Shelby GT500. Cooley takes it on the road and on the track to find out if a low tech hot road still has a place in this world - and, really, to savor that exhaust note!
The top trim level of the Camaro has a supercharged 6.2-liter engine, with 580 horsepower.

There is no shortage of suspects when a high-profile lawyer is murdered. Among the likeliest "candidates" are Willard Tappan (Michael Zaslow), a crooked financier who specializes in fleecing wealthy women, and John Curren (Jonathan Hogan), the now-impoverished son of Tappan's most recent victim. Edie Falco of The Sopranos fame appears as defense attorney Sally Bell, who'd once been "serious" with Assistant D.A. McCoy (Sam Waterston).

Favorite Find Friday: Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream Eyeshadow
Written on August 16, 2013 at 9:00 am , by Fitness Magazine
It seems like as soon as summer hits, a wave of products flood the shelves, boasting of melt-proof magic, heat-withstanding hold and overall hot-weather defying voodoo. And yet, by the time I get home from work—scratch that—by the time 3 p.m. rolls around, these supposed makeup "miracles" have caked up in my fine lines or slid down to various regions of my face. (Not so pretty.) Just when I'd almost resigned myself to perpetual raccoon eyes and creased shadows, I stumbled upon Make Up For Ever's Aqua Cream Eyeshadow ($23, sephora.com). Holy wow. This creamy, hyper-pigmented pot of shadow is pure magic. Its not-too-thick, not-too-thin consistency is perfect for a swipe of sheer color, or to be layered for a stunning, opaque look that truly holds up all day. One 8 a.m. application of Aqua Cream #52 lasted through a 104-degree outdoor commute, a sweat-drenched Zumba class and a constant cycle of allergy sneezes. Yet, by the time I got home, my eyes still looked just as creaseless and fresh as they had 12 hours prior. And despite Aqua Cream's waterproof formula, my lids easily wiped clean with only a little makeup remover. Although $23 per pot may seem a little pricey, trust me—it's absolutely worth it.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) --1987 Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Alysheba has died at 25.
The champion stallion was euthanized Friday night at a medical center in Lexington. The Kentucky Horse Park said he was buried Saturday at its Hall of Champions.
Known on the track as "America's Horse," Alysheba also won the Breeders' Cup in 1988 and was honored as Horse of the Year.
Alysheba arrived at the horse park last year after eight years in Saudi Arabia. The horse first stood at stud in Versailles, Ky.
The horse was the son of Alydar and was trained by Jack Van Berg. He was the 3-year-old male champion in 1987 and won six major stakes races in 1988. Until Cigar, Alysheba was the money-earning leader with more than $6.6 million.

UPDATE: Caran Johnson has "protected" her Twitter feed so you can no longer read her tweets.
A woman who spends her days "tweeting the crazy things that happen" in Vancouver unknowingly provided live coverage of a crash that killed her husband.
KATU.com reports Caran Johnson is well known for her tweets summarizing traffic incidents in the Vancouver area.
Early Wednesday afternoon, Johnson, who tweets under the handle @ScanCouver, began typing up short updates of a two-vehicle crash.
She tweeted "i hate that section of I-205 S. too many on ramps, speeders and too few lanes."
A bit later: "this accident sounds horrible."
Later that afternoon she became concerned her husband had not returned from work.
At 5:17 p.m. she wrote "I'm trying not to panic, but my husband left work early and he drives 205 to get home. he's not answering his phone. … and he's late."
Just before 6 p.m. she tweeted "how long do i wait for him to come home before I call the police?"
At 6:50 p.m. she told shared her grief with the world.
"it's him. he died."
Let's hope Johnson was still in shock when, at 8:41 p.m., she tweeted "I know it's petty, but I went from 567 followers to over 1300."

While I appreciate the irony and deep tragedy of the story you picked for your headline, I have to say that the fact that the NSA is tracking 5 billion cell phone locations a day is really the story everyone should be commenting on. This criminal organization is so beyond out of control that it makes the stories we used to hear about the Soviet Union, East Germany, and other totalitarian regimes seem tame. Where is the outrage? Where are the criminal charges? Where is the impeachment of the president who oversees these crimes and doesn't care?

I was out screaming about the Patriot Act too. I was out working to get Ron Paul elected (one of the few republicans who openly opposed the Act), and I have been working actively for liberty (including running for office in 1994) since I was old enough to vote. Other than Ron Paul, that has meant supporting candidates from parties OTHER than the two major parties that are destroying our freedoms and our liberties.
The two-party mentality is such a horrible plague on this nation. When one opposes a democrat the immediate reaction is "where were you when the republican was doing the same thing" and visa versa. Plenty of us who hate Obama protested in the streets against Bush and his failed wars of choice too.
That the other guy did it, or started it, or whatever is NO EXCUSE for it going on now.

The fact that you were ignorant of the activities of others or are now hurt that your emperor is being criticized is your failing, not a failing of those who have been actively working for liberty. Sorry a resume is required before any postings get credibility with you guys. I know what I have done, I have the election certification from the state to prove at least one thing, the cancelled checks to know a bunch of others, copies of all the letters, newspaper articles and photos to know most of the rest and my own and others' memories to round it all out.

Eocene Rocks
Upper pumice conglomerate (youngest Eocene rocks) - an increase in volcanic activity followed the final lake shale deposition and streams flowing from the west washed large amounts of pumice pebbles into the basin. Sanidine samples taken from various parts of the Florissant Formation (including the ash and pumice intervals in the shales) have been dated to around 34.07 million years ago. This is the last sequence of Eocene rocks to be deposited in the Florissant valley.
Upper shale - paper shale (couplets of diatoms and ash-clay) alternating with tuffs (ash and pumice).
Caprock conglomerate - a lahar debris flow was deposited into the waters of the second lake.
Middle shale - paper shale (couplets of diatoms and ash-clay) alternating with tuffs (ash and pumice) deposited into a lake created by a lahar, possibly at nearly the same time as the mudflow that buried the trees.
Lower mudstone unit - floodplain sediments with stream deposits and at the top a muddy lahar that buried large trees.
Lower shale unit - paper shale (couplets of diatoms and ash-clay) alternating with tuffs (ash and pumice) deposited into a lake created by the damming of the valley by a lahar from the nearby Guffey Volcanic Complex.
Basal sequence (granular granite fragments) - possibly "rotting" granite debris that was beginning to fill the valley before the first lahar.
Boulder conglomerate - Two conglomerates, one older than the Wall Mountain Tuff (the Echo Park Alluvium) and the other younger (Tallahassee Creek Conglomerate) occur in the vicinity of Florissant, CO.
Wall Mountain Tuff (oldest Eocene rocks) - the result of an enormous pyroclastic flow that devastated the area, approximately 36.7 million years old.
Precambrian Rocks
Pikes Peak Granite - a 1.04 billion year old granite formed from cooled magma deep underground, since uplifted to form some of Colorado's tallest peaks.

My gym doesn't have a crunch machine. I have strong abs, and I like to do resisted crunches, but stacking 45-pound plates on my chest can be awkward. Do you have an alternative?
—Mike K., San Luis Obispo, CA
I'm a firm believer in adding resistance to ab exercises to build strength and accelerate muscle growth. Your rectus abdominis (the six-pack muscle) and obliques are like any other muscle group: They need to be trained with a variety of resistances and rep ranges. In fact, a recent study found that subjects performing a body-weight–only ab workout several times per week for 11 weeks experienced no significant increases in abdominal strength.
Holding weight plates, dumbbells, or medicine balls while doing crunches will increase your resistance, but these methods can limit the amount of weight you're able to use. Your solution? The Smith machine crunch.
How to: Smith Machine Crunch
- To perform this move, place a bench in the middle of a Smith machine.
- Lie faceup on the bench with your knees bent and your feet flat on it, with the bar over your upper abs.
- Keep your back flat on the bench and hold the bar at arm's length.
- Use your abs to explosively raise your torso as high as you can, pushing the bar up as your body rises.
- From the top, slowly lower your upper body back to the bench and repeat for reps.
Quick Tip: When the gym is busy and there's no flat bench available, you can perform the Smith machine crunch on the floor.

Designing an Italian wine label for New York restaurateur
New York restaurateur Nicola Marzovilla recently asked me to design a label for the first vintage of his own wine, made from grapes grown on his Tuscan estate in Impruneta, just south of Florence. The I Trulli owner purchased the property fifteen years ago and promptly planted seven acres of Sangiovese vines (the classic Tuscan variety). After patiently waiting for the vines to mature, in 2008 Nicola decided to bottle the first vintage of a wine he calls the wine Massoferrato, after an iron-rich boulder overlooking the vineyard.
After a playing around with several label ideas (including one which incorporated a vintage photo of the restaurateur's mother, Dora), I eventually took inspiration from an aerial view of the property.
The Marzovilla family moved from Puglia to the Bronx in 1970, and for over twenty years Nicola has been an innovative figure within New York's thriving restaurant and wine scene. Famed for its authentic Southern Italian regional cuisine and extensive wine selection, the groundbreaking restaurant I Trulli will celebrate fifteen years in business in 2010.
The first cases of Massoferrato arrived in New York in November: Nicola immediately unveiled the wine at a dinner held at I Trulli, where it was paired with chef Patti Jackson's whole roasted wild boar. To my surprise and delight, Patti recently created a chocolate-and-coffee cake replica of Massoferrato for Nicola's surprise 50th birthday party. The satisfaction of seeing my label design on a wine bottle was nothing compared to the thrill of seeing it reproduced in edible frosting…
Massoferrato is currently on the wine list at I Trulli, and available for retail purchase at Nicola's wine store Vino.

Tonight's meal made me think of Rahsaan -- lentils topped with "burned" eggplant topped with yogurt (I have Kashk and used that).
Wow, delicious, and Louise said so too.
If Rahsaan doesn't have this book he needs to get it...
I know he likes lentils and I'm not sure I've ever enjoyed them this much.
Jenise wrote:The gnocchi was heavenly. Used Barbara Lynch's proportions and made a sauce to resemble one I had and loved years ago in a little Italian joint in Anchorage, Alaska, which closed after the owner ran off with the cook's wife. I love to tell that, because the extent to which this kind of thing happens fairly regularly makes Alaska the special place it is. Made a great side dish for smoked beef. And the meal really was Italian! Served a warm spinach and mushroom salad on braesola to start and Sicilian wines throughout.
The lentils sound great. Would have to skip any open globules of yoghurt, but would probably love it if the yoghurt were stirred in.
Jo Ann Henderson wrote: I have all kinds of sticky tags on it, but the only thing I ever made from it was the Orecchiette with Cauliflower, Anchovies and Pistachios. As a matter of fact, I think it was this recipe that caused me to buy a 1lb tin of Italian anchovies packed in brine, most of which I still have, melting away in all that salt! For some reason I find Italian cooking daunting, whereas I will easily jump into Thai or Indian - no problem.
Speaking of books on the cheap, I purchased Natalie Dupree's Southern Biscuits, which is currently on sale (Kindle version) for $1.99! I am really enjoying reading it. I had no idea there were so many different versions of the biscuit, and that it's a product used in so many different ways. Natalie even instructs you on how to make and store your own self-rising flour and refrigerated biscuit mix (also on the Amazon site). It's really quite a treat and a great Friday night, Saturday morning mouth-watering giggle. Highly recommend!

Despite sweeping changes enacted by Gov. Bobby Jindal's administration, the health insurance program for state workers and public school employees will have to use $88 million from its reserve fund to cover its costs this year.
The LPSB races are sure to get heated between now and Nov. 4, and with only 9 available seats, this year's field of 20 candidates will surely be wanting to set themselves apart from the crowd early; they'll get their chance next week, starting Tuesday with the kick-off of a three-day series of candidate forums.
Lawmakers say they've received complaints that waits have spiked, with people being forced to wait in line for more than an hour — and sometimes three hours — to handle routine tasks.
The campaign announced that Rep. Stuart Bishop of District 43 and Nancy Landry, District 31, have thrown their support behind the Naval Academy graduate and entrepreneur in his bid to unseat current Hunter Beasley in District 8.
A Lafayette man with an alleged taste for child porn was busted Thursday evening during a cyber crime sting launched by the Attorney General's Office.
U.S. Rep. Vance McAllister says his chief of staff is on temporary leave after being booked with drunken driving.
It was a rare moment in Congress this week as Republicans briefly put aside partisanship in support of President Barack Obama's request to train and arm Syrian rebels, and while a number of Democrats opposed the measure, Louisiana's Democratic Sen. Mary Landrieu found herself on the same side of the issue as her Republican challenger Rep. Bill Cassidy.
City-Parish President Joey Durel is asking the council to sign off on a resolution approving a pair of deals that would lead to razing the seedy Lesspay Motel at Four Corners to build a new police substation as well as transforming nearly a block Downtown where the old federal courthouse building now molders into a mixed-use development.
In 2013, the IRS — already the least popular governmental agency in the country — became the target of intense investigations after it was revealed that they had specifically and improperly scrutinized applications for tax-exempt status from organizations associated with the nascent Tea Party movement.
Improving the running game was "a point of emphasis" during the offseason and the results have manifested themselves in the form of substantially greater production.
Louisiana's health department said Wednesday that its evaluation of the state's Medicaid privatization was on target, despite criticism from the legislative auditor that it lacked key data and contained inconsistencies.
The feds converge on your office, seizing records on several employees as part of a pay-for-plea investigation. WWYD? If you're Mike Harson, you give yourself a $12k raise.
It's football season and after back-to-back winless weekends for the Saints and the Cajuns many citizens are finding it difficult to be civil much less happy. Well, chew on this.
Considering his repeated stays in the local penal system, David Narcisse Jr. should have known that having a semiautomatic shotgun, even one given to him by a friend, wasn't the brightest of ideas.
A state district judge on Tuesday threw out a last-minute retirement hike lawmakers gave to the state police superintendent, ending a political firestorm over a pension boost passed without public scrutiny on the last day of the legislative session.
The House has passed a bill to increase oversight of veterans' hospitals under construction, following a report that some medical centers take three years longer to complete than estimated and cost an extra $366 million per project.
An obvious follow-up question for any Republican politician who accuses Democrats of being science deniers is one about science, to which Jindal bobbed and weaved like a welterweight champ.
The Lafayette City-Parish Council is expected to decide tonight (Tuesday) whether to go along with a proposal City-Parish President Joey Durel made in February's State of the Parish Address and consolidate taxes for mosquito control and the parish health units into a broader tax program that would also cover animal control.
U.S. District Judge Richard Haik has dismissed Greg Davis' lawsuit against the LPSB, yet in his ruling, the federal judge doesn't bite his tongue in pointing out the "threat" being posed by certain board members.
Of all the political offices being contested throughout Lafayette Parish, the race for Broussard's top police post has literally become one of the most heated.

A new website is up for Louisiana's state government employees and retirees to choose their health insurance plans for next year, a choice they must make by October.
That fact that New Orleans led both games in the final 10 seconds of regulation, and lost each by a field goal or less, is of little solace.
SEP 22 This bit of video from Saturday's LSU game is appalling, whether you're a fan of LSU or not. In it, you can see a Mississippi State player literally stomping on two LSU players during the game, which his team won. Twice the player, Dillon Day, can be seen jumping on the abdomen of LSU players during the game, the Picayune reports here. Day is a senior from West Monroe.
SEP 22 Whether you like him or not, you have to admit that Edwin Edwards has an irresistible story - on so many levels. Here's a post from CNN, which also has been unable to resist. His comments are classic EWE.
SEP 22 Blogger Tom Aswell, who spent about 50 years working for "mainstream" media, gives the Advocate what-for in this post. At issue is an editorial the Advocate printed last week, pretending that State Police Commander Mike Edmonson is some kind of saint for his part in the amendment debacle. The problems start with the paper's inability to spell Edmonson's name correctly (a common Advocate problem - inexplicably) and go downhill from there, he writes.
SEP 22 Blogger Crazy Crawfish is reflecting back on what was discussed during the Rising Tide conference, at least in terms of education. He's broken down some of the basic tenants of the current "reform" agenda in education, and explained why these ideas are flawed.
SEP 22 Six of the "privatization" agreements created by the Jindal administration for public hospitals are being renegotiated, at the order of Medicare/Medicaid officials, the Advocate reports here. Lafayette's public hospital is included, the story reports. Part of the order? No "side agreements," the story says. Hmmm.
SEP 22 Blogger Robert Mann tells an amazing story in this post. Cries for revenge and vengeance may be the usual response to violent death, but he's telling the story of people who have, instead, practiced forgiveness and grace.
SEP 22 Seems like there is nothing the interwebs likes more than listing stuff, and ranking states for good and bad things is a common practice. Columnist Jim Beam takes a look at some of the recent good and bad rankings that Louisiana has racked up.
SEP 22 Blogger Ian McGibboney is writing about the Adrian Peterson case in this post. A lot of people are saying "My parents spanked me, and I'm fine," but they usually are not fine at all, Ian says. (The best example: Sean Hannity.) It's not OK to hit kids, Ian says, and it needs to stop.
SEP 20 This isn't the first story, and it won't be the last, written about the apparent conflict between Bobby Jindal's biology degree from Brown and the far right evangelicals who (he perceives) hold the key to his burning, blinding desire to be President. But this one's on ThinkProgress.org, a left-leaning blog, and gives an interesting view of how his dilemma might be attacked in a campaign.
SEP 20 Jeremy Alford examines the Family Forum's influence on the Legislature in this post. The ultra conservative lobby's annual "report card" keeps up with how well our elected officials are following its dictates, he reports, but also shows us how conservative our Legislature has become.
SEP 20 This post on the Dads Gone Wild blog is an ode to the education bloggers who have been akin to voices crying in the wilderness on the subject of "reform." He compares his experience, listening to the "reformers" and wondering why anybody gave them any weight, with loving punk rock in the 1970s. It's an interesting read.

Hurricanes and workplace fatalities, 2005
August 15, 2006
A total of 29 work-related fatalities were attributable to hurricanes and their aftermath in 2005.
Hurricane-related fatalities were concentrated in three States—Mississippi (10 fatalities), Louisiana (8 fatalities), and Florida (8 fatalities). Virtually all of the hurricane-related cases in Mississippi and Louisiana were attributed to Hurricane Katrina, while about half of fatal work injuries attributed to hurricanes in Florida were associated with Hurricane Wilma.
Of the 29 cases identified by the fatality census, 9 involved workers who were struck by objects, 8 involved transportation-related incidents, and 5 resulted from falls.
The Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries, part of the BLS Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities program, provides the most complete count of fatal work injuries available. For more information on fatal work injuries, see "National Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries in 2005" (PDF) (TXT), news release USDL 06-1364. Data for 2005 are preliminary. While all data from the fatality census are subject to revision, data on work-related fatalities attributable to hurricanes were especially difficult to collect and verify, and therefore may be subject to a larger than normal revision.

The Authentic Pea Coat
The Authentic Pea Coat
U.S. Government Specification Style Peacoat.Traditional U.S. Navy model.Double-breasted overcoat.24oz. 80% Wool 20% Nylon Melton shell.Full fleece lining with satin yoke and sleeves.Convertible collar.Framed slash pockets.Inside breast pocket.Vented back with parallel tack.Anchor design buttons.NOTE: The Authentic is a heavy-duty, long wearing coat that is made to exacting standards and specifications. All of our coats are made in the U.S.A. of entirely U.S. made materials. The Authentic is the ONLY commercially produced peacoat on the market today that accurately reproduces the look, feel, warmth and durability of the U.S. Navy issue peacoat. Don't be fooled by cheap imitations, sold at department and specialty stores, that claim to be "Official" or "Specification" peacoats.The size chart is provided as a guide to help you in determining which size peacoat to buy. Generally speaking peacoats run tight across the chest and back. Our recommendation is that you upsize one size from what you are accustomed to wearing (i.e. if you usually wear a 38 regular suit coat, or your chest measures 38 inches, then you should order a 40 regular peacoat.) This formula will also allow for extra clothing (i.e. a heavy sweater, etc.)

A quartet of diamond stars from the Illinois Quad-Cities are striking scholarship gold today. Alleman's Cody Sedlock, Morrison's Kaitlyn Finneran and the Moline duo of Jordan de los Reyes and Matt Brill all are using the first day of the NCAA's Early Signing Period to sign scholarship deals with Division I colleges. Sedlock, who helped pitch Alleman baseball to a state runner-up finish in Class 2A last spring, is scheduled to follow through on a verbal commitment with the University of Illinois at 3 p.m. in the school cafeteria. De los Reyes, an Illinois State-bound slugger for three consecutive state softball trophy winners, has a signing ceremony at 2 p.m. at Wharton Field House with Brill, who is taking his baseball talents to Appalachian State. Also at 2 p.m., Drake officially inks Finneran, who played for Morrison's 2011 state softball champs. A fifth local diamond star, Rock Island's Jake Scudder, won't be signing with Iowa Western baseball until later this year, when the junior college signing period starts. Sedlock committed to the Illini in August. The All-Stater posted a 10-3 pitching record, with 108 strike outs and a 2.91 earned run average. The senior also hit .377 with 13 doubles and 33 RBIs as an outfielder. De los Reyes verballed with ISU last spring, before she and three other Redbird recruits finished third in a state title defense. The All-State performer hit .354 and had a team-leading 8 homers and 49 RBIs for a squad that included current ISU freshmen Brittny Drish, Kaitlyn Knary and Hayley Marlier. Brill, who committed to Appalachian State in late September, after reaching the Legion World Series with Moline Post 246, led the Maroons to a regional title during the high-school season, hitting .384 and fanning 31 batters in 15.2 innings of relief work. Finneran, an All-Three Rivers Conference performer, finished with a team-best .485 average last season, including 11 doubles, four triples, 32 RBIs and 35 runs scored. Football players, such as Rocky's Iowa-bound Derrick Willies, won't be able to use the week-long Early Signing Period, either. The NCAA's Winter Signing Period for gridders starts on Feb. 6. In all, 17 local high-school athletes have announced plans to utilize the Early Signing Period. Also among those signing on the dotted line today are softball's Chloe Miller (Wisconsin) and Pleasant Valley classmates Gabby Stecker (Illinois swimming), Kaycee Kallenberger (Eastern Illinois basketball) and Anna Cullinan (Western Illinois golf). Signing ceremonies also are scheduled at Assumption and Sterling. Assumption's pen party is for Kyle Springer (Indiana wrestling) and Billy Daniel (Truman State basketball). Sterling's recognizes Jennifer Rahm (Iowa rowing) and Keanu Interone (Utah swimming). Davenport North's Hope Scheffert also signs with Iowa State softball on Friday. Muscatine boasts five athletes inking today or Friday. Included are basketball's Leti Lerma (Bradley), baseball's Derek Burkamper (Nebraska), softball's Megan Butler (Upper Iowa) and the swimming duo of Haden Calegan (Pittsburgh) and Travis Greenwald (Denver).

It's the peak of flea season and veterinarians say this year could be one of the worst in Southwest Florida. And some of the products you're using may not even be doing the trick.
Fleas - it's a five letter word no pet owner wants to hear.
"It's definitely a complete mind sore," said Fort Myers pet owner Irma Parajon.
And that mind sore isn't going away any time soon.
Veterinarian Laura Braun, with the Coral Veterinary Clinic, says this year's flea season could be one of the worst.
"I'd say we probably are in for a pretty rough season for fleas and ticks throughout the rest of the summer," she said.
She says her office sees between 10 and 2- pets each day - just for fleas.
"We will see the dogs that are itching, pulling their hair out, often times cats will just start obsessively grooming their bellies," Braun said.
Parajon says it's a huge pain for her pug, Monte.
"He has a horrible time whenever he gets fleas. He cries all the time because he's very, very allergic and uncomfortable," she said.
Vets say getting rid of the pests is challenge - especially because many products on the market don't seem to work as well anymore.
"We do tend to see the efficacy wear off a little," said Braun.
Braun says one product she recommends is Capstar.
"We do use a product called Capstar that product is given as a pill and begins working within 30 minutes to kill all the fleas on the dog or cat," she explained.
But Dr. Braun says the real trick is year-round prevention.
She said she suggests Revolution or Vectra 3D.
She went on to say it's not just treating your dog; you also have to treat your home or the bugs will keep multiplying by the thousands.

An Inspiration Gallery of Cool "No-Color" Rooms
Maybe it's the hot summer weather, maybe it's the zeitgeist, but my purple sofa and teal walls are looking tired today. Instead, I keep drooling over these dreamy color-free rooms, the very picture of cool — which is not to say cold! Shades of white, black and grey, these rooms still manage to be interestingly layered, even cozy. What do you think, could you go color-free?

Love, love, love the way these look, but I think this is the hardest 'color' scheme to achieve.
You have to have exactly the right amount of texture, contrast, and natural elements, plus I think it only works really well when the light is perfect and the volume of the space is just right.
Plus, speaking only for myself, color keeps creeping in. Even though I love the no-color look, the minute I let myself go I've bought a bright turquoise or chartreuse pillow or flowers or something.
THANK YOU for this no-color post. My living room is black, white, grey and brown. Family members keep stating I may need an accent color, and i hate the yellow/brown, blue/brown combos. This is inspiration of what i LOVE
LOVE it, too. So soothing and peaceful. But I relate to Dulcibella, that it would be a constant struggle to keep the color at bay.
Too sterile, cold, and hospitalesque for me.
You must hang out in much plusher hospitals than the rest of us...
I love this look. If we bought a new place (preferrably a big home with lots of windows and light, the opposite of our apt.), I would totally do this look.
i am loving this look as well. the more i see white painted hardwood floors , the more it appeals to me. Plus, white, black and little wood accents here and there can easily be given help of color by some gorgeous flowers, colorful dishes, maybe a few accent pillows in colors.
I think it's a good way to "open" up a small space as well.
The elegant homes in the photos are dramatic and polished, and I'd like to visit them, but wouldn't want to live in them as they are. My home's shell, window treatments, furniture, and appliances are mostly in whites, browns, and black, too, but I add bright color in accessories. To each her own!
I'm in the process of decorating my entire apartment to look like a black and white photo!!! So you know I LOVE these rooms!!
I get the sense that these rooms aren't so much well-designed well as they are well-photographed.
I agree with what some other people have said... some of these photographs are definitely beautiful, but they look more like they've been staged to make a dramatic art piece than like they're actual homes with actual residents.
Also, I LOVE color. LOVE IT. I would go completely crazy living in an entirely black & white world.
I think they're well-designed and well-photographed. The difficulty of this for me would be that the items that are not necessarily decor, but things like books, records, etc. would clash with the overall aesthetic. Plus there's always going to be *something* you like that's not color-free, and when that happens, well, there goes the room.
Nope not for me. I want to throw a yellow pillow or something into these rooms. Your asking a girl who never wears black & is always in a color & who has lots of color all throughout my house.
I have always loved this general aesthetic. I find it calming and focusing. Great for the bedroom.
I don't mind the look but I don't have the discipline. I'm too attracted to color!
I think they're depressing looking.
I'm currently converting my bedroom into neutral (mostly white & cream). I am doing this so I can easily change up some color when I desire it (accessories, pillows, etc.). The secondary color is moss/olive green right now. I'm also doing this so that my bedroom evokes more calm & tranquility. I LOVE color, but having a white bedroom will help desensitize me for a restful sleep. I couldn't do stimulating color in there. (All my other rooms are layered in color.)
No. 4 is lovely. I didn't think I could like b+w striped pillows... guess I was wrong.
I think these rooms are fantastic. I love color, but a nice, neutral bedroom or bath makes such a relaxing retreat. I ditto the sentiment that it is the most difficult style to achieve without looking too sterile, however. And what is the deal with all the dead cows that I'm seeing lately. How do you clean those things?
*SO* not for me I'm having trouble restraining myself from typing the adjectives that these images evoke...
I love the restfulness of this group of rooms but almost every one has high ceilings, great architectural detail, and expensive looking furniture. These are dream rooms not real people rooms. Number 4 does not and it looks pretty average to me.

Readers' comments (2)
We look forward to working with Mr Edmonds as he steps into his new role at the Legal Services Board. The Bar Council made a significant contribution to the wide debate which resulted in the Legal Services Act, and we will look to work closely with the Legal Services Board to deliver a successful implementation of the reforms to the regulation of the legal profession.
We are committed at the Bar to the regulatory objectives and professional principles contained in the Legal Services Act and to providing high quality advocacy and advisory services, through a well regulated and independent profession. We therefore anticipate a positive and dynamic relationship with the Legal Services Board.
We look forward to working with David Edmonds to help ensure that the regulatory environment enables high quality legal services to flourish for the benefit of the public and the profession. I wish him every success in his new post.
