Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common condition in which a build-up of fatty deposits in the arteries restricts blood supply to leg muscles. It is also known as peripheral vascular disease (PVD).
Although many people with PAD have no symptoms, some people have painful aching in their legs brought on by walking. These aches will usually disappear after a few minutes of resting.
Read more about symptoms of peripheral arterial disease.
If you experience recurring leg pain with exercise, see your GP. PAD is usually diagnosed through a physical examination by your GP.
They will also measure the blood pressure in your leg, using the ankle brachial pressure index (ABPI). This involves comparing blood pressure readings from your arm and your ankle. A difference between these readings may indicate PAD.
Read more about diagnosing peripheral arterial disease.
Peripheral arterial disease is a cardiovascular disease, meaning it affects blood vessels. It is usually caused by a build-up of fatty deposits in the walls of the leg arteries. The fatty deposits, called atheroma, are made up of cholesterol and other waste substances.
The build-up of atheroma on the walls of the arteries makes the arteries narrower and restricts the flow of blood to the legs. This process is called atherosclerosis.
Read more about the causes of peripheral arterial disease.
Rates of PAD are strongly associated with older age. It is estimated that it develops in:
Men are more likely to develop the symptoms of PAD earlier in life than women.
There are certain things that can increase your chances of developing PAD and other cardiovascular diseases, including:
PAD is largely treated through medication and lifestyle changes.
Completely stopping smoking and getting regular exercise are the main lifestyle changes that can ease the symptoms of PAD and reduce the chances of the condition worsening.
The underlying causes should also be treated, such as reducing high blood pressure and cholesterol, and treating diabetes. Medication can be used to improve blood flow. In some cases, surgery may be needed to treat PAD.
Read more about treatments for peripheral arterial disease and preventing peripheral arterial disease.
While PAD is not immediately life-threatening, the process of atherosclerosis that causes it can lead to serious problems.
Having PAD means you have a much higher risk of developing other serious cardiovascular diseases, such as:
Also, if the symptoms of PAD worsen, there is a risk that tissue of the lower leg will begin to die (this is known as gangrene), which in severe cases requires the lower leg to be amputated.
Read more about the complications of peripheral arterial disease.
If treatment is successful, and lifestyle changes are maintained, your situation will usually improve.
However, if you are unable or unwilling to make lifestyle changes, especially if your leg pain is getting worse, it is estimated there is a:

There are a host of reasons why you should shop local—and this year, the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce has added one more.
The chamber has been handing out $25 gift cards all week long in partnership with American Express in honor of Small Business Saturday. And on the big day itself—Nov. 24—they're handing out 100 more at 10 local businesses in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights.
To win, follow the Dearborn Area Chamber of Commerce on Facebook and Twitter. Throughout the day, they'll direct shoppers to businesses, where chamber members will be waiting with the gift cards and other prizes. (Dearborn Patch will also be retweeting and sharing the times and locations of the events on our Facebook and Twitter accounts.)
The first 10 shoppers to show up will win the giftcards.
Learn more about the giveaway on Patch.
As you prepare to win your $25, here are some reasons to ruminate why it's a good idea to keep your dollars local this holiday season and beyond.
- According to www.the350project.net, for every $100 spent in locally owned independent stores, $68 returns to the community through taxes, payroll and other expenditures.
- Hate the idea of shoppers pushing each other to the ground over a discounted flat-screen, or employees skipping Thanksgiving dinner with their family to work crowd control at Walmart? Small Business Saturday is the shopping opposite of Black Friday.
- As Dearborn chamber President Jennifer Giering puts it, "The options in our own backyard are endless!" From outdoor supplies at English Gardens to throwback clothing at Retro Image Antiques, you can find pretty much anything you need or want in Dearborn and Dearborn Heights.
- Millions of shoppers can't be wrong. And in 2011, more 100 million people came out to shop at independently-owned small businesses on Small Business Saturday, according to American Express.
- Local businesses care about their community, too! Just look at the donations made to local causes by the owners of the Dearborn Sausage Company, or the beautiful Dearborn pictures taken by Besek Photography. If you want to help your community, help the people and businesses that make it thrive.
Don't forget to nominate your favorite Dearborn businesses to be featured on Patch. Details here.

I'd be lying if I didn't admit that I get a little creeped out when people talk about my husband like he's supposed to be the last barrier between some teenage boy and my daughter's purity. Why is my daughter's virginity anyone's business but her own? Just because he's her father doesn't give him any more ownership of her body than any other guy, right? If you answered that with an affirmative, then get ready to be officially creeped out by the hot new "purity ring" sweeping Pinterest.
The ring (note: not the one seen above) is actually pretty cute -- it's in the shape of a crown, with little diamond-type chips. But the meaning behind it is anything but cute.
According to the listing that's garnered more than 200 "repins" and some 85 likes, that little crown has a pretty creepy back story:
A Father gives his daughter this ring for her 16th birthday (when dating is officially allowed) to wear on her left ring finger—to remind her that she will always be HIS little Princess first— and to remind her to only date boys who will treat her like a Queen—the way her Heavenly Father sees her!!
The ladies over at Jezebel already have the vomit-inducing nature of the ring covered, but what they didn't really address was the message behind it.
You know, the one where a dad tells his daughter that she's his property? Basically, this ring -- and the whole "daddy's little princess" culture -- tells girls that they are mere property to be transferred from one man to another when the time comes.
Please, for the love of everything that is holy, can we drop this patriarchal BS, now?
It may sound sweet for a Dad to be telling his daughter that she's his princess. It may even sound like there's a positive message in telling your daughter she should be treated like a queen.
More From The Stir: How 'Purity Culture' Pressured Me Into Becoming a Teen Bride
Unfortunately, the sweetness is undermined by the message that a girl's really supposed to listen to Daddy because he's master of her fate.
When you tell your daughter that she "belongs" to you, you're taking away her sense of self and setting her up for a lifetime of disaster. Without ownership of herself, she has no self-determination, no self-esteem ... no power.
What, really, does that give a girl to look forward to? Escaping Daddy's iron fist only to have her husband take over telling her what to do and when to do it?
Sorry, but that's not a message I want my daughter hearing. Fortunately, it's not one my husband is interested in sharing with her.
How about you? How do you feel about dads giving their daughter purity rings with this message?
Image via ilovebutter/Flickr
Right because a girl doesn't become a woman until she has an abortion and 5 STDs.
BTW, a promise ring doesn't mean the girl is property to anyone. It's just a reminder that virginity is valued- a concept that goes over the mind of the most of the writers on this silly blog.
Why is it ONLY girls, and not guys? Sexist gender roles! A woman's purity is her worth, but no such standard applies to men. That is why I detest purity rings. I also don't like that they cast women as people who need to be protected with the iron fist of a man, rather than independent beings who can make their own rational choices.
Wow, this is really awful. The whole "Daddy's girl" thing isn't because she's his property, it's because he loves his daughter and cares for her and wants to protect her, including her honor. A father should be protective over his daughter, that's his job. My father was always protective over me, hell I'm 30 years old and he STILL is. I never once felt like a piece of property, I felt like a cherished daughter which is exactly how a father should make his daughter feel, and later on her husband should cherish her as well.
There's no "value" of virginity. That is a sexist, archaic mindset that makes women commodities. Having sex doesn't change someone any more than baking an apple pie for the first time.
I have seen boys wearing "purity" rings.
Actually there is value in virginity and it does change someone.
Katharine, she doesn't get it, because the "value" isn't monetary.
Gods above, a person's virginity is her own or his own business. I would never imply that any of my kids were less valuable as a person because they were sexually active.

Help for main front porch entrance, some way to put plants on wall that's not hanging baskets.

I am concerned that a planter would take up too much space and just get in the way. Instead I would a piece of art on the left wall. The weather-friendly piece of art would add visual interest without taking up space.

Have you seen those awesome containers of succulent plants? They basically take a shallow (2" deep) square, fill with some kind of light soil substitute and then cover it with an open grid. Then plant completely full of succulents of many varieties, and hang vertically. Stunning! Google "vertical succulent garden" and you'll get some real inspiration!

You could attach something on the side, as in photo, or I would simply do one tall one as in the second photo on the lower right. Boxwood always looks classy. I would buy an inviting doormat.

Louis Vuitton has created a new ad campaign that is the collaboration of photographer and director Inez van Lamsweerde and Vondoodh Matadin. The campaign focuses on the art of travel, and marks Vuitton's first TV advertisement.
The video, an "l'invitation au voyage," features scenes from classic Parisian landmark and museum the Louvre - including a shot of the Mona Lisa herself - and a dramatic connection between two young models. 24-year-old American model Arizona Muse carries a Vuitton Speedy bag as she strolls through the Louvre and flies away in a hot air balloon to the despair of her male model counterpart.
Muse has worked with Isabel Marant and Vogue and has been the face of Yves Saint Laurent. She has been on the covers of French, Russian, Australian, Chinese and American Vogue and on the runways of Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld this year.

This Pharmaceutical Stock Promises Robust Returns
Kiran is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The healthcare sector has always been a subject of great interest to investors and analysts alike. With the rise of sedentary lifestyles and increasing stress levels across demographics, the healthcare sector has a huge market to cater to.
Valeant Pharmaceuticals (NYSE: VRX) is a fast growing company in dermatology, ophthalmology and neurology. Over the years, Valeant has developed a disparate product portfolio comprising of prescription drugs, branded generics and Over The Counter (OTC) drugs.
While 65 % of its total revenue is driven by prescription brands; branded generics and OTC products account for 35% of the total revenue. Valeant Pharmaceuticals has presence across the globe, as it operates in the US, Canada, Central and Eastern Europe, Latin America, South East Asia and South Africa.
The year 2012, saw the company generate revenue from product sales of $3.31 billion, up 47% compared to $2.26 billion during 2011, despite suffering a loss of $161 million in revenues, owing to generic competition. The company delivered cash Earnings Per Share (EPS) of $4.51 during the financial year 2012, which is a growth of 54% compared to previous year. The net cash flow from operating activities in 2012 was $656.6 million, posting a 3% year-over-year growth.
The financial results for the first quarter of 2013 were nothing less than impressive with Valeant posting revenues of $ 1.03 billion from product sales, which is a 38% year-over-year growth, while delivering a cash EPS of $ 1.30, up by a staggering 41%.
GROWTH-Organic and Inorganic
Valeant Pharmaceuticals is a specialty pharma company catering to a niche segment, predominantly dermatology and neurology. The company's growth strategy involves harnessing growth opportunities by seeking strategic alliances coupled with developing newer therapeutic platforms aimed at boosting its organic growth.
The company's past acquisitions of Medicis Pharmaceutical Corporation, Dermik, Obagi Medical Products, and its merger with Biovail Corporation during 2010, have successfully resulted in it becoming a front-runner in the dermatology industry.
Keeping up with its tradition, Valeant is currently in the news for its decision to acquire Bosch and Lomb for $ 8.7 billion. The deal would give a huge impetus to Valeant's ophthalmology business, while securing access to China and other high growth emerging markets.
Closely analyzing the key revenue drivers of Valeant Pharmaceuticals, the company's major operational areas are the Ophthalmology, Dermatology and Neurology segments.
Driven by a surge in eye disease cases and an ageing population, the global ophthalmology market is estimated to touch a staggering $ 18 billion by 2018, growing at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 5.1% from 2011 to 2018. The rise in related diseases causing eye dysfunctions such as diabetes and other hormonal disorders is another major contributor to the advancement of this industry.
Geographically, although the US is estimated to uphold its position as the market leader in the ophthalmology space holding 32.8% of the global ophthalmology devices market share in terms of revenue, emerging markets such as Brazil, China, Mexico and India are also estimated to expand at a double digit growth rate.
Considering Valeant's major business operations are in emerging markets, the industry scenario looks favorable for years to come.
In view of the above, Valeant's intended takeover of Bosch and Lomb would substantially strengthen its competitive position in terms of the profitability of its ophthalmology business.
Dermatology and Neurology
Another key business segment for Valeant's is the dermatology division. Valeant has succeeded in establishing itself as a major player in the dermatology space by its carefully planned strategic alliances mentioned above.
The dermatological therapeutics market is estimated to grow at CAGR of 7.3% from 2010 to 2015. Driven by the expiration of patents and a steep rise in cases of psoriasis, acne, dermatitis and other skin conditions, the dermatological industry is expected to reach an impressive $ 25 billion by 2015. On the other hand, the global neurology devices market was expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.3% from 2008 to 2015 to surpass $4 billion by 2015.
Other revenue drivers of the company include OTC drugs and branded generics. The OTC drugs industry is estimated to exceed $ 70 billion by 2015. As against that, the branded generics segment accounts for 22% of the Valeant's total revenue.
With the global generic market place set to grow at a respectable 11 % annually, emerging markets such as Brazil, Russia, Turkey, China and South Korea provide a robust platform for growth at a phenomenal 15-20 % annually. Given that Valeant's key markets of operation are predominantly emerging growth markets, the future prospects for Valeant's generic drug business look quite promising.
The Competitive Landscape
TEVA Pharmaceutical industries limited (NYSE: TEVA) is one of the key competitors to Valeant Pharmaceuticals.
TEVA is a developer, manufacturer and distributor of pharmaceutical products on a worldwide scale. The company possesses a diverse product portfolio, primarily comprising of specialty medicines, generic and OTC drugs and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
The first quarter of 2013 was in line with the company's expectations. It clocked an overall revenue of $4.9 billion and generated over a billion dollars in cash flows from operations.
The company suffered a 27% year over year decline in revenues from its generic segment in US, which is also its largest market contributing over 50% to its overall revenues.
Moving further, strong performance in Europe in all key segments clocking an overall growth of 11% year over year facilitated the company in sustain a robust performance during the quarter.
In order to bolster its growth, the company has been very aggressive on the Merger &Acquisition front, as it acquired Taiyo and Ratiopharm, which enabled the company into strengthening its generics business. Furthermore, the company also acquired Cephalon in order to penetrate the bio pharma space.The company possesses a strong balance sheet and presence across all major markets.
Another competitor to Valeant is Abbott Labs . Although Abbott Labs a much larger company relative to Valeant in terms of market capitalization, both are pharmaceutical giants.
Abbott Labs (NYSE: ABT) generates the highest percentage of its revenues through pharmaceuticals at around 62%, which is followed by nutritionals at around 18%. The remaining revenues come from diagnostics and vascular at around 12% and 8% respectively.
Within the pharmaceuticals division, Abbott's revenues are driven through AndroGel and Synagis. During 2009, revenues from AndroGel and Synagis declined slightly, however, the growth was back on track from 2011 onwards.
According to Trefis, this division holds maximum value in Abbott's stock price. Trefis estimates a steady increase in revenues from AndroGel and Synagis over the next seven years. It should be well comprehended by investors that consistent growth in revenues from this divisions will ensure a healthy pay-out from Abbott's stock.
Valeant is a large specialty pharma company with a strong potential for upside growth in its top and bottom line in the medium to long term.
The company has been successful in developing a diverse business portfolio on the back of carefully designed expansion strategy, which makes the company resilient and competent to meet the dynamic challenges of the industry.
The impending acquisition of Bausch and Lomb will certainly ensure Valeant strengthens its ophthalmology division and catapults itself in the global league to become the 15th largest pharma company in the world and a significant player in the pharma segment.
With global economies on path to recovery and Valeant having exposure to the emerging markets, I believe it has a great future in store for itself.

Illinois State Senator Bill Brady is hoping the third time's the charm as he launches another run at the governor's office.
The Republican from Bloomington ran for governor in 2010 and was narrowly beaten by Governor Quinn.
Now, he's formally announcing his candidacy with a statewide tour, one of those stops was in Quincy's Washington Park Friday afternoon.
"Our campaign is going to be about jobs, it's going to be about fiscal integrity and restoring Illinois to a position of greatness," said Brady.
Brady joins an already crowded 2014 Republican field. Illinois Treasurer Dan Rutherford , State Sen. Kirk Dillard and Chicago Businessman Bruce Rauner already announced bids in the March 8th primary.

Hello ladies, this is Donna's handsome other half, though she may tell you different.
This Tuesday, Donna had a spinal tap, most painful to have and very painful to watch.
She was extremely brave and only broke two of the finger of the hand she was holding, mine.
None the less, I'm very proud of her, personally, I would have done a runner.
She's having more tests and an MRI to come. She is being moved to the neurological ward. (Possibly looking for the Canadian brain cells that make her walk wonky) Can I also thank everyone that sent their best wishes to her. Thank you all.
For and on behalf of Donna.

The Facebook group has attracted more than 13,000 followers.
Facebook group claims teen suspect in Boston bombing is innocent
A "Dzhokar Tsarnaev is innocent" Facebook group has attracted more than 13,000 followers, suggesting that the surviving younger brother charged in the Boston bombings "is turning into a mixture of pop icon and Internet martyr, spawning photo campaigns, posters, and a rubber 'cause' bracelet," The Daily Mail reports.
The 19-year-old college student and his now deceased older brother, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, are accused of killing three and wounding many others last Monday at the Boston Marathon.
The Facebook page's creator, AXJ Boston, contends in a blog post that the lengthy complaint filed against the teen "has more holes in it than Swiss cheese." Among problems it lays out in another post: "No videos of the actual arrest" and "no video of the suspects planting the bombs."
"We truly believe he has been set up and that there is not enough evidence to incriminate him," states the Facebook page, in part.
Related: From outsiders to suspects – the Tsarnaev brothers
It's not the only supportive Facebook page. Other smaller Facebook groups supporting the teen include "Dzhokar Tsarnaev is Innocent until proven guilty!," and at least a couple simply named "Dzhokar Tsarnaev."
Attracting fury
"What a bunch of unbelievable idiots," an unidentified federal agent in Washington, D.C. told the Daily Mail. "These morons will make it much harder for the country to recover from this."
Fury over the "Dzhokar Tsarnaev is Innocent" Facebook group has forced its administrators to turn it into a closed group. It now screens who is admitted as a follower. A statement reads: "Dear DT Supporters: We are being viciously attacked for having presented the Habeas Corpus to the Court. We will not allow anyone else into this group unless you have previously screened them. Please set up your own system of screening but until you give us the go ahead no one else will be allowed in. AXJ."
#FreeJahar gains steam on Twitter
The teen also is gaining support from people on Twitter, many tweeting under the hash tag #freejahar, note The Daily Caller, Wired and Huffington Post.
According to Wired, "@J_Tsarsupport posted a photo (warning: graphic) claiming "proof that half the 'victims' are fake" based on a suspicion that there ought to be more blood. Links to conspiracy accusations on Infowars — which disrupted an FBI press conference on Thursday — proliferate. Photos circulate purporting to show, as with this one, that the backpack containing the bomb matches one carried by a different individual."
Meanwhile, more than 6,700 people have signed a petition at Change.org asking President Barack Obama to guarantee that "wrongfully accused" Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev will get a fair trial, saying that "conflicting information shown by the media" doesn't add up to enough evidence to condemn the teen.

A Gallery of Paintings: Craftsman, Bungalow, Historic and More Across the USA
A House Portrait is a Source of Family Pride
Why a House Portrait?
Many of the people I meet and speak to, initially do not realize the personal satisfaction and pride that comes from having a portrait of their home. They spend many years or a few, doing the constant upkeep, making an improvement here and there, or maybe even some well-thought renovations to improve the house or the landscaping. They may have a fine old home in a wonderful historic neighborhood or maybe not.
But at first thought, they don't think it is much or important until they see it represented as a work of art.
In many ways the attitudes towards our homes reflect the attitudes we have about ourselves – we discount what is really there and undervalue it. Yet a home represents you, your lifestyle, your family and one can even say becomes an extension of your personality.
Just as we all value a family portrait for its sentimental and historic value, so it is with a house portrait. It immortalizes your home and all you have accomplished with it. It becomes a very cherished item, not just another painting on your wall.
Here is what a few of my clients have said:
"When Leisa brought us the house portrait of our Craftsman style home, it exceeded our wishes and expectations. I was amazed at how well she was able to evoke the actual feel of our home. Leisa was a delight to work with throughout the process and listened to our thoughts and vision for the portrait. I still find it incredible that she was able to take our vision and put it to paper so beautifully. We are more than happy with the result!"
– P.L., Virginia USA
"What a warm, comforting feeling when I look at my house portrait. I can feel us in the living room in front of a fire on Christmas morning. I can smell turkey in the oven. I will pass my house portrait painting to my children who I have no doubt will pass it on to their children. Thank you!"
– D.W., New Jersey USA
"Thank you for our bungalow house portrait! The pen details of the house are very precise and the painting is a wonderful remembrance of many happy family memories. It makes a beautiful piece of original artwork for our home."
– S.P., Wisconsin USA
The House Portrait Process
The process of creating a house portrait is quite simple. I am sent a photo or photos of the home from the perspective the client would like it to be painted or from different angles so I can see what will look best. I then combine two mediums in creating the house portrait.
First, I complete a pen drawing of the subject, ensuring all details of the home and garden are included.
Second, I do a watercolor painting on top of the drawing to bring out the life and uniqueness of the home and surroundings. Being that water is used instead of opaque white paint, one can create that magical translucent quality of watercolors but still see the pen details underneath.
The result is a beautiful and evocative work that makes your home in to a work of art!
The Cost of a House Portrait
My usual price range for a house portrait is $350 to $650, depending on size and framing. Other factors can also effect the price, such as larger sized paintings (which I usually recommend for larger homes and gardens). Just as personal tastes vary, every home is uniquely different. so it is best to contact me directly so that I can answer all of your questions. Call me or click a contact link on this page and I will get back to you promptly.
Thinking of a House Portrait, Talk to the Artist

Diamondback Capital Management is shutting its doors as a result of the government's insider trading probe, as clients pulled out of the hedge fund.
Clients demanded the one-time industry favorite return more of its assets than co-founders Richard Schimel and Larry Sapanski expected, the Journal reports: Assets were just $1.45 billion, compared to more than $5 billion two year ago, too little for the company's business model to function properly. The two men said they received requests for the return of $520 million, five times as much as they had anticipated, accounting for 26% of assets under management.
In a letter to clients today, Schimel and Sapanski said their only other option was to execute a major restructuring, which would be its second in a year and a half.
The two men, along with a third founder, Chad Loweth, had worked at Steven Cohen's SAC Capital Advisors, which is also facing questions of insider trading. Todd Newman, a former Diamondback portfolio manager, is also on trial for alleged insider trading.
In the letter to investors, management said that it expects the majority of investors' capital to be returned next month. The fund was founded in 2005.
It's another hit for SAC Capital if true.
Bloomberg News' Saijel Kishan is reporting that Steven A. Cohen's $14 billion hedge fund has put portfolio manager Michael Steinberg on leave after being identified as an unindicted co- conspirator in a $62 million insider-trading scheme.
Bloomberg cites a person familiar with the matter. The person said that Steinberg was put on leave last week.
Here's how the wire connects the dots to the case of Jon Horvath:
Court documents linked Steinberg to the securities-fraud case of Jon Horvath, a former SAC Capital technology analyst that he supervised. While he didn't name Steinberg, Horvath told a federal judge in New York during his Sept. 28 plea that he was part of a group of analysts who passed nonpublic information to each other. Horvath said he passed some material, nonpublic information about Dell (DELL) in August 2008 and Nvidia (NVDA) in May 2009 to his portfolio manager, who then traded on the information.
"In each instance I provided the information to the portfolio manager I worked for and we executed trades in the stocks based on that information," he said.
Steinberg was Horvath's manager, two people with knowledge of the matter said last week.
As exchange-traded funds and other investing vehicles have ballooned in number, the task of figuring out what works well and what doesn't has only gotten harder. Barrons.com's Focus on Funds looks under the hood of ETFs, mutual funds and hedge funds for overlooked values, actionable ideas and the latest pitfalls for fund investors.

PROT in TBC is fun and it is a lot better than it ever was in the past. With the right gear and spec you will out threat your entire raid. Most warriors don't understand the HUGE value of shield block value (that causes your shield slams to scale by bigger hit - 2k shield slams are not hard to get at all anymore and that is more threat in one single attack than anything else in the game). Shield block RATING is useless and I see so many tanks stacking that for god knows what reason. Visit www.evilempireguild.org/guides/ if you want to see the math behind this. I do 300+ dps on Gruul with the right setup. This includes picking up Cruelty, 1H spec and Shield Mastery to scale up your damage/threat.
Spamming devestate on anything is not gimmicky and not sure how you think so. The only thing that limits this attack is the global cooldown and is intended to be spammed.....but it is only worthwhile to do so if you apply a few sunders while grinding. Your damage will be terrible if you don't do so. Allowing a tank in a 10 man fight with no threat issues to do that much damage to push past rogues and locks shows just how powerful this attack is with the right gear and buffs.

Anesthetic Effects in Mitochondrial Disease
Summary. At the present, the investigators do not have the perfect anesthetic for
mitochondrial patients. When possible, consideration should be given to the use of local
anesthetics in small amounts. When a general anesthetic is necessary, they each carry
significant risks and have been associated with poor outcomes. At present it is not
possible to eliminate one group as less safe than others. What is clear is that these
patients must be monitored more closely than other patients. The advent of the bispectral
index (BIS) monitor may allow us to monitor their depth of anesthesia more closely and thus
expose these patients only to the minimum amount of drug necessary to carry out the surgical
Purpose. The investigators hypothesize that specific mitochondrial diseases, in particular
those that decrease complex I function, make certain children hypersensitive to volatile
anesthetics. These same patients may be at increased risk for adverse outcomes following
general anesthesia. The specific aims of this application are:
1. Determine which molecular defects in mitochondrial function lead to alter sensitivity
to the VA sevoflurane.
2. Establish the relative safety of sevoflurane in treatment of patients with
mitochondrial disease.
The investigators plan to monitor patients with mitochondrial disease using expanded
measures of cardiovascular stability and measurements of brain electrical activity while
slowly inducing general anesthesia. The investigators will use those measurements to limit
the amount of anesthetic these patients receive in an attempt to minimize their risk. In
addition, the investigators will correlate their sensitivity to the type of mitochondrial
defect so that the investigators may be able to predict which patients are likely to have an
increased sensitivity.

|Andrew Simpson (actor)
| 1 January 1989
Derry, Northern Ireland
Andrew Gerard Simpson (born 1 January 1989) is an Irish actor. Born in Derry,[citation needed] Northern Ireland, he now lives in Donegal, Ireland.[1] He has two sisters, Charlotte and Sarah. He was spotted while performing in a festival by talent scout Patrick Duncan, who was working for Aisling Walsh, the director of Song for a Raggy Boy.
Simpson's first film appearance was as Gerard Peters 458 in Song for a Raggy Boy (2003), a story about an Irish reform school. In 2006, he appeared opposite Cate Blanchett and Dame Judi Dench (both of whom were nominated for Academy Awards for their roles) in the film Notes on a Scandal. He plays the pivotal role of Steven Connolly, a schoolboy whose affair with his art teacher, Sheba Hart (played by Cate Blanchett), leads to disaster. In 2012 he appeared in the docudrama Saving The Titanic as electrician Albert Ervine, the youngest member of the engineering crew, which reunited him with Song for a Raggy Boy co-star Chris Newman. [2]
Andrew currently attends the London School of Economics and is studying law.[when?]

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
Mezmer, what you said is extremely true.
I think blizzards design philosophy on Priest's healing is full of fail, like the design philosophy of mages. In a raid setting, Priests will be replaced by healers of expertise, unlike 5 mans where priests shine.
I think Blizz should introduce a new healing mechanic that priests specialize in. Disc's preventing damage is a nice start and has a lot of promise.
If i was to change holy, i would design the tree to be able to do two things at once. I mean like Aoe healing and applying hots at the same time or Healing a single Target and Aoeing at the same time.
If priests don't excel in one area, they need to be able to do ok in 2 areas at once to be viable.
(PS my highest lvl priest is 10, so forgive me if some of my input is off)

Preventive Health Care Tips For Your Pets
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" – this certainly is very true when dealing with pet health. The cost associated with prevention is far lesser than the cost of treating a certain disease. Indeed, early diagnosis as well as treatment of developing certain diseases or problems can increase the chance of successful results.
Preventive healthcare will involve a multi-faceted approach that will include vet evaluation of your pet's overall health as well as the probability of acquiring diseases or other health problems.
Here are some preventive health care tips for your pets:
Annual vet visits – This is the best way to prevent any health problems in your pets. Your vet will indeed check your pet from head to toe for any changes that can affect its health. On the other hand, routine lab tests will detect early stages of disease before signs and symptoms occur. Always remember that this will help your pet live a longer, happier and healthier life.
Vaccinations – this is the best way to protect your pet from diseases like rabies, distemper and cough. For dogs, you can even immunize them against canine flu and the like. Know that there are vaccines that are given every 3 years or more. To learn more about this, you can talk to your vet now regarding which vaccines are best for your pets based on health status, exposure and age.
Provide proper exercise and good nutrition – This is one of the keys in order to last your pet's good health. Always keep your pets on a high quality dies which will address their certain healthy needs, activity level and age. On the other hand, regular exercise will keep your pet in a lean body while providing a great bonding experience. You can actually talk to your vet so you can have the right nutrition and exercise plan for your pets.
Routine grooming – This will include routine ear cleaning and nail trimming. Know that a strong odor or discharge from the ears of your pet can be a sign of an infection. Proper nail trimming, on the other hand can keep your pets from getting caught and injured while they are walking.
Dental care – Taking good care of your pet's teeth is very important in order to maintain their overall health. You must understand that an infection that arises from the mouth can spread to the other parts of the body. Plaque as well as tartar build up can cause bad breath and even lead to lose tooth. Vets recommend brushing twice every week in order to keep the teeth clean and to prevent problems.

Blessed are the poor for they will pay the biggest price in reducing the deficit. They will behold the rich and see something good.
Blessed are those that mourn. Those we have sent to be killed will be lauded as heroes; their achievements will not be questioned; those they have killed will be forgotten.
Blessed are the meek. No one could have anticipated that perpetual growth built on illusory credit was unsustainable, or that we couldn't go on consuming without paying the true price. We are all in this together.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness. The opportunities to do this are legion in the Big Society.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will no longer need to understand the causes of riots, or of any other behaviour labelled 'criminal'.
Blessed are the pure in heart. They are the law abiding majority who enable the identification of 'problem' families, the scapegoating of an 'underclass', and the division of society between 'us' and 'them'.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will underwrite and promote commercial arms sales, renew our nuclear weapons, and justify military intervention in the national interest.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake. Keeping them beyond our borders means our Britishness is maintained and our 'Christian' values kept pure.

'When seeking well qualified engineering graduates with a demonstrable interest and expertise in energy, we always work with Engineering at Birmingham. Over the past few years we have found course graduates to be motivated, aware of current issues and technically competent.'
- Louis Koonjean, Graduate Recruitment Manager, RWE npower
At the end of second year if you do well you will be declared eligible to proceed to MEng which is a four year programme. This would allow you to ultimately qualify in your main engineering discipline as a Chartered Engineer. You may also wish to seek dual recognition through the Energy Institute.
Alternatively you may decide to complete a BEng degree and then a postgraduate Masters. At Birmingham we have two Master qualifications which are suitable for those who wish to specialise:
Through the Institute of Energy Research and Policy we have links with all the major energy companies, many of whom target our graduates. For example Centrica recently awarded a series of 10 UK scholarships (with no strings attached) to final year engineering students:
'We will sponsor two final year Engineering undergraduates at the University of Birmingham. The sponsorship will be a £3000 payment to assist with study and living expenses. Our aims with the sponsorships are to support high-calibre students in engineering and subsurface disciplines and give them the opportunity to network with professionals within Centrica. I was extremely impressed with the Birmingham students and as a Birmingham alumnus myself I was pleased to see such high calibre in the sponsorship applications. It wasn't easy to choose two. Tom and Sadie stood out through a combination of academic achievement, extra-curricular involvement and work experience, some of the key things we look for in our leaders of the future.'

Have you made this pattern?
Share with the Craftsy community.
This is a super easy pattern for a first quilt. Great for teaching technique to younger quilters! Super simple and easy to throw together in a afternoon. Single color or multiple color options. Great for using up scraps as well.
I have been quilting for almost twenty years and crocheting longer than that. I have started machine quilting fairly extensively in the last five years or so and have started quilting for friends and family. Trying now to branch out and maybe some day soon start my own business with a store front. Come check me out on facebook at https://www.facebook.com/TheJadedSpade

A. It is unlikely that this would be looked upon negatively and, more often than not, will be considered a positive. Many employers understand this situation, especially in a recession and if the position is held for a short duration. Furthermore, this ability demonstrates flexibility to an employer and shows that you are continuing to expand your skills. — Cay Gliebe, VP, Sales and Marketing, Northgate Arinso
A: Anytime the economy has seen a tremendous downturn and the workforce is hit with enormous amounts of closings and layoffs, employers should expect to receive resumes with variations in employment history. Regardless of how these variations are viewed on a resume, it challenges the individual to be creative in explaining and tying their present experience with past experiences, while reflecting their dedication and willingness to maintaining employment and learning new skills. — Ronald Miranda, HR Manager with Aldeasa A.J.V
A: It's no secret that jobs have been scarce, so future employers should be more open-minded to those candidates who must take a position temporarily outside their career path. What's important is that the individual remains active and, if possible, finds a job that complements the skills needed in his chosen field and allows him to demonstrate enhanced abilities. — Margaret Hintz, Team Manager for Administaff in Atlanta

I was terminated when someone I worked with on a job that was a step down from where I was in my career was hired by my employer. Somehow it came to my supervusors attention that I had not put this job on my resume as I had built my resume of 18+ yrs as a value and contribution summary for the position I was seeking. They said it was an integrity issue that I left it off my resume. In a terminate at will state I had no recourse. At the time I was receiving accolades from both peers and clients. I would appreciate your opinion on this as I have been basically unemployed since and that was 2 years ago. It still upsets me.

It is not outside of my element to take on a new job in a different industry but somebody need to re-evaluate the requirements for American citizens. There have been countless jobs that I qualify for BUT! why are we required to speak Spanish in a primary English speaking country? This I know for sure have set back countless job hunters that I personally have spoken with, so our Congress need to update a few laws that all incoming legal and illegal citizens be required to SPEAK ENGLISH not the other way around!!!

How about learning Spanish?
Learning does not kill you.

Yeah you're right learning does not kill you….but, this is an English speaking country…we shouldn't be turned down for a job if we can't speak, read or write spanish. Let them learn, speak/read/write English for once!!!!!!!!!! You probably have a job…but for people that don't….its pretty tough out there!!

I received my MBA degree in Human Resource Management in May of 2006. However, I have not had any success finding a position with the HR field. Presently, I am employed with an Infertilty Specialist as a Precertification Representative. I have been applying for HR postiions but I have not received any responses. Do you have any suggestions as to how I can get into this field?

It comes down to survival. I would take anything at this point. And I am getting really tired of reading articles by so-called "experts" who obviously have not been in the job market recently. And if any of them have been, I apologize.

I moved from Columbus, Ga to Atlanta in August 2008, leaving behind a part time position in the print shop for a beverage distributor. The move was prompted on the decision to transfer from Columbus State University to pursue my degree at the more affluent and business driven college at Georgia State. I was hoping that not only would I get a better education but also find a better job. I am content with my education at Georgia State and will be graduating this semester. However, it seems I picked the wrong time to switch jobs being that I have been unemployed since I left Columbus in August of 2008. As a result I'm not looking forward to graduating and looking for a job, as I have applied at many places, even McDonald's which did not lead to a single call back. So now imagine how I feel about the bailout plan and stimulus plans. Yeah, a complete waste!

I can tell illegal Aliens are here thinking we should be speaking Spanish in AMERICA. FU all.
WE SPEAK ENGLISH HERE!!!! I've stopped shopping in Walmart locally since they are infamous for hiring Mexicans to sell the Crap made in China.
For the record I do speak Spanish, but this is America. Se hablas ingles aqui!!!! LEARN ENGLISH!
For the sorry A$$ employer's that hire anyone not American, I choose not to buy any of your products or services, I sure as heck don't want to work side by side with the illegal aliens you hire.

I kind of agree…If you want to move to this country, the least you can do is to learn our native language. I have thought the same thing…I see lots of jobs there that I think I could do except for one thing—they say that you need to be fluent in Spanish as well as in English! I don't mind learning another language but that is beside the point. Either learn English or get out of here!

I agree that illegals should learn English but if an employer hires them or only hires employees that speak Spanish then blame them, not the illegal trying to get work. Too many times anger is directed at these people when they are just pawns to big business.

Is it true that HR will allow an investigation into the financial situation of an employee before a lay off to determine if the employee is in a position to waive a separation agreement and preserve his right to file a complaint with the EEOC?

Is it true that hiring managers automatically disqualify unemployed job applicants, with the weight of disqualification bearing more so on those who are the longer-term employed, despite stellar qualifications?

The Stickman humor comics -team is looking for your ideas and comments.
Join and show your support for Stickman humor comics.
Comic book released!
Comic book (actually more like a booklet) with 246 stickmans, 49 comics and 69 objects that you don't need daily is now here! We made 20 copies from it and few of them are going to our relatives and friends. Rest of them are for sale with 3e, but we don't know where to sell them yet. All comics in the book are also here in the WAM.
Hey would you mind letting me know which web host you're using? I've loaded your blog in 3 different browsers and I must say this blog loads a lot faster then most. Can you recommend a good hosting provider at http://onlinewritingthatworks.com/ a fair price? Thanks, I appreciate it!
Hi! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering if you knew where I could locate a captcha plugin for my comment form? I'm using the same blog platform as yours and I'm having problems finding one? Thanks a http://content-creaters.com/ lot!
It's onerous to seek http://sanfranciscoairportcarservice.org/ out knowledgeable individuals on this matter, but you sound like you realize what you're talking about! Thanks
thank you for the logical critique. Me & my neighbour were making ready to perform a little research about that. We obtained a respectable e book on that matter from our local library and most books where not as influensive http://borsefendiitaly.com/ as your information. i am very glad to see such information which I was looking for a long made very glad!
Good website! I really love how it is easy on my eyes and the data are well written. http://csgogamer.com/ I am wondering how I might be notified whenever a new post has been made. I have subscribed to your feed which must do the trick! Have a nice day!
Hello there, just became aware of your blog through Google, and found that it is really informative. I'm gonna watch out for brussels. I will appreciate if you continue this in future. http://bootheelhealthystart.org/ Lots of people will be benefited from your writing. Cheers!
I have learn a few excellent stuff here. Certainly price bookmarking for revisiting. I surprise how a lot effort you place to make the http://bootheelhealthystart.org/ sort of excellent informative website.
Excellent information here. This appealing publish made me smile. Possibly so long as you throw in a couple of footage it will likewise make the http://beinhaus.com/ whole thing more enjoyable.
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. Let's find out about the rest when the WAM store goes live! :)
Well, it's quite open, but as said here, it's now 3e + posting, but it can change when the WAM store goes live.
Well, it all depends from the price, of course. Hope it's reasonable! :P
Buy, of course. One owes to fund fellow WAM productions, even if on a little scale. 8P
Print or buy?
I'll definitely get myself some! :P
I can put the .pdf here and the top image here later, but you have to change the order of the comics a bit... They are ordered by page number in the pdf, but when you print it, you have to print the last (two white pages at the end) and the first in the same page and so on.
I think about giving some away, but we have only 20 books if you don't print any.
Size of one page is A5, but as you can see it's just splitted A4
Well, maybe you could give some away at the event, to get you noticed?
I could print some, is it just black and white on A4?
How much did you mean? XD
Of course. I will bring two copies with me when I come (if I remember) :)
Wow, that actually looks very cool! :)
Can we have some of them at the Wreckamovie Festival?

Guest blogger Jodi has come up with three.
In the evening, he wants to make love. In the morning, he wants to get it on. Sometimes, he just wants a little sumthin' sumthin'. Sex by any other name is still sex, but all sex is not created equal (do not get me started). I blame the names sex is given. Take "humping" for example. Ew. So I've come up with a few of my own.
Renaming sex can inspire the most overwhelmed of moms to want it more, and heeeey, get it better! Because orgasms, like pizza and shoes, are all good, and you deserve plenty of each. You don't have to employ a babysitter, lingerie, lotions, potions and paddles (you tart!) to have more and hotter sex. You only need a few new sex names to get you going. And hopefully coming.
The Double Duty Booty
What if it weren't that you're always too tired for sex, but that just the word "sex" sounds like a lot of work? Put your leg over there, move your arm over here, lift the hips higher, oh baby oh baby. Then suddenly "OMG the baby!" The Double Duty Booty is a multi-tasker. Try this: Sunday morning shower; he scrubs your back while you apply a hair masque; you find a position that isn't slip-dangerous; you both get your jollies while repairing split ends.
The Warm and Yummy
You're tired. You're blue. Something has happened. You just feel, well, needy. The Warm and Yummy is comfort sex, like if you could give your vajayjay a chicken pot pie. It's not aerobic, and there's no orgasm goal. It's the closest to making love, but without the bogus pressure to be pretty or perform. You're simply connecting. Ask for it, like you would a hug--a hug that happens to involve his privates.
The Vajayjay Volcano
It's not as if mindblowing sex is as easy as ordering a side of ham. But if it were, wouldn't you be having it all the time, no matter who vomited on your new J.Crew canary yellow t-shirt this morning? If I had the quick answer for this one, I'd be...something besides a tired mom. You want, you need, you deserve Vajayjay Volcanos with your man. A for effort on this one. May I suggest you employ a babysitter, lingerie, lotions, potions and paddles?
Do you have a type of sex with your man that deserves a new name? Send us a quickie note!
This article is stupid and pointless! Guest blogger Jodi doesn't sound very intelligent, doesn't sound very experienced and doesn't know how to write and article that make sense!
You enroll in the second program for two years, and during that period you continue to teach full time. ,

The moment when you come back from something and someone has taken your seat.

(Source: smokeandwhiskers)
I'm not a shy person but when I'm around new people, I'm so quiet. It takes me a while to open up since I don't know what to talk about with them and stuff. I hate being such an awkward balloon sometimes. But once I'm comfortable with someone, I talk so much to the point where you can't even shut me up. That's why I don't really believe in first impressions because it takes time to get to know someone.

Ottawa - unique hidden gems
- s
- Sam Jun 7, 2006 01:56 PM
Was re-reading question about desert-island picks below (okay, so we got off-topic)and was wondering about other Ottawa hounds' hidden gems - the spots that you wouldn't find elsewhere. I'm thinking not just high-end, but lower end or street-food too. If you're not making it yourself, where do you find the best tabouleh, samosas, rice-paper rolls, etc?
A few of my examples:
-the special effort I make for rice-paper rolls at Cam Kong (with sautéed shallots and mushrooms) even though the rest of the menu is less exciting
-picking up fresh scones at the Sconewitch when I have houseguests
What are your unique hidden gems?
Some I can think of at the top of my head...
Zuni Grill on Greenbank - Good food for Great Value
Kanata Sushi - Affordable Sushi in the westend
Nokham Thai - Great and Different Dishes
Khao Thai - Best Yellow Curry in town
Pasticceria Gelateria Italina - Great Italian Baked Goods.
Mama's deli - Barrhaven (Great place to pick up European treats & meats)
re: JOJO
You know, having just moved here last year I never know if something is 'hidden' or just new to me because everything is new to me.
But haven't noticed people mentioning 'Chez Lucien' much here. On Dalhousie and Murray maybe? Great place for beer and a burger, cool building, amazing jukebox. And the prices are incredibly reasonable.
Love this place! Chez Lucien and The Manx really do put me in mind of great old pubs in England.
re: Piali
-German Towne Deli at Bank and Slater at lunch for liverwurst on a bun and salami on rye (got to go early!).
-Nicastro's on Merivale for anchovies that I can't get at the Byward Market or Glebe locations (it's in a clear jar at the back, forget the name).
-Stubbe Chocolates on Dalhousie for thrice-dipped chocolate hazelnuts.
-Wasabi's in the Byward Market for the best agedashi dofu in town.
-Pho Bo Ga La on Somerset in Chinatown for their S7 special, a shrimp/garlic noodle soup.
-Place Bell Bakery in the Place Bell building on Elgin Street at lunch for pinwheel sandwiches (got to go early!)
-Farm Boy in Barrhaven for walnut bread.
-Ottawa Organic Famer's Market at Bank and Heron every Saturday from 10 - 2 for wild BC salmon fillets. Same place for pretzel buns (if there's any left) from Beck's Bakery. Same place for organic pork chops and salami from "the pork man" who comes once a month.
Ooh, now I'm hungry....
re: Anijunga
Di Rienzos on Beech for Italian sandwiches and Andrew the cheese guy at Nicastro's on Wellington & oh yeah thespicy chorizo at the Europa food centre on Beechwood
re: bruce
If you like healthy, fresh bread that doesn't taste like a brick, try Bread and Sons (bad name, good products.) They are completely committed to buying grains from local mills who grind mainly locally grown grains. Ingredients are organic.... skip the spelt bread, but do try whole wheat and whole grain loaves. Fab for sandwiches or toast.
The turnovers are great and so are the brownies (spelt brownies that taste amazing, go figure.) Skip most of the cookies unless you like 'em crunchy.
The owners are lovely and just getting the business going. Hope they stick around.
You can find the place on Bank St. just south of Laurier on the East side.
Hopefully not too obvious, but: "Fettucine's." On Elgin, vaguely near Somerset. Pasta, Italian take-away stuff (though if desperate, it can be thrown in an oven there and eaten at one of the two chairs in the place...). Better than anything I cook -- which is no insult to me; it's also better than almost any other Italian place in the city.
Also hopefully not too obvious: "Ahora." Mexican place on Dalhousie in the market. Very tasty, fantastic prices, remiscent of Southern California (as opposed to, say, normal Ottawa "Mexican").^
Boushey's, also on Elgin a few blocks further south, is not a restaurant or even largely take-away, but what take-away is there is often -- especially the in-house stuff -- worth going for; makes a great picnic in the parks nearby or office lunch. (See especially a very well-done fruit salad; 4.50 for a big bowl of a good variety of good stuff -- their produce is usually excellent -- plus pasta salad, baked goods, etc.)
"Place Bell Bakery in the Place Bell building on Elgin Street at lunch for pinwheel sandwiches (got to go early!)"
It's a deli, too, and in response to "got to go early," have to point out "got to go late" -- salads & some other take-aways are half-price late in the day. Much better than usual office-building fare.
The Ritz on Elgin street is quite good: don't be put off by the name: Ritz restaurants are now all independently owned and operated, so the quality of the food varies a lot between locations.
the elgin st. location is a small place, their specials are usually south american in origin, quite tasty and reasonable!
I haven't lived in Ottawa for years but I still miss Boushey's. Their tabouli and their rice pudding especially. I used to send people out for their rice pudding when I was sick. I think I picked my apartments to be within walking distance of Bousheys.
I don't know if Lightning Bakery is still open in the Glebe but they had awesome pumpkin pie.
Its not actually in Ottawa itself but i'd highly recommend the trip to Plantagenet to visit: "Mariposa Duck and Goose Farm"
Actually, nevermind forget I mentioned anything. I want to keep this gem to myself *wink* and still be able to get a reservation (which is a must IMHO).
Green Earth Restaurant on Preston St. It's a 98% vegan restaurant with dishes influenced mainly by asian recipes. Highlights are the Crispy Wontons, Summer Rolls, Smoothies, Sweet and Sour Sensation, Gourmet Hawaiian Fried Rice. For dessert, they have an amazing Fried Banana Rolls with Vegan ice cream, as well as a dynamite vegan carrot cake.
Meals come at a great price. Me and three other adults split 2 apps, each had a meal and a drink, then split 2 desserts for an unbelievable $65 bill! Usually when we eat out the bill easily surpasses $100.
Ottawa Bagel Shop on Wellington, which carries a wide array of jams, preserves, baked goods and prepared take-away items. www.bagelshop.ca
St Laurent Bakery on St Laurent for rye bread.
Piccolo Grande on Murray in the Byward Market for gelato. www.piccologrande.com
Chez Lucien on Murray in the Byward Market for great burgers and atmosphere.
Il Negozio Nicastro on George St in the Byward Market (also on Wellington) for Italian specialty items.
The Manx pub at Elgin/Frank for fantastic pub fare and casual, chill, yet lively vibe.
Social on Sussex for the duck entree.
Pub Italia on Preston in Little Italy for a vast beer selection. www.pubitalia.ca
The Green Door on Main St for ultra casual vegetarian with a crunchy vibe. www.thegreendoor.ca
The Wild Oat on Bank in the Glebe for organic, whole grain breads, pastries and take-out (vegetarian).
Art-Is-In bread. Not sure if they have a retail location, but you can find their bread at some local groceries, inlcuding the Loeb on Bank St in the Glebe.
re: topbanana
Life of Pie on Leonard St in the South end of town, a tiny little storefront operation, she posts the weeks pics on email to her subscribers, but can do walk in on a small scale, cash or cheque only. Makes a to die for Strawberry-custard pie, but anything Ive had from there is wonderful.
re: kaymanti
Tried Life of Pie for my birthday dessert after reading this posting. Loved it. She`s not kidding about the pie feeding 8 people - I was worried about not having enough to feed my dessert-obsessed family (there were 8 adults and 10 kids) so I bought 4 pies, and had 1 a half pies left. They look small, but are rich and tasty, so you don`t need as much! We had the chocolate haupia (very rich) and apple (a bit tart, especially after the chocolate one) pies and Pascale`s White Chocolate Pistachio ice cream. Delicious! BTW, she takes Visa and MC now.
re: topbanana
I second Ottawa Bagel Shop bagels - a local tradition and always wonderful. The shop is great for other yummies too, as mentioned.
Thyme and Again on Wellington just a bit west of Parkdale. They make all sorts of lovely things, like homemade marshmallows, a wide variety of delicious desserts (their flourless chocolate cake is possibly the best cake that I've ever put in my mouth), all kinds of beautiful little sauces and jams, frozen pies (savory, including things like elk tourtiere, and sweet), homemade ice cream, etc. It's a lovely place to stop for a few high end products or for lunch (they have a food counter) and a coffee.
Best of all, they sell Art-Is-In bread, which is the best bread in town.
I second Kanata Sushi for affordable sushi. I usually have the Kanata Sashimi combo - 20 pieces for $20.
Nicastro on the market is La Botega, not Il Negozio. I like the amareto and pistachio tartufo there (and at Merivale).
Stubbe Chocolates also has a branch in Kanata (Hazeldean and Terry Fox).
Truffle Treasures on Richmond Road, just East of Churchill, has some nice ice cream, made on the premises.
re: piccola
DEFINITELY, DEFINITELY second the French Baker for croissants. Unbelievably good.
I also think Kettleman's is nice for Montreal-style bagels.
As for Chinese, I forgot to mention: Veranda D'Or. Really good, reasonably authentic Chinese food prepared from scratch and MSG-free. Excellent service, too. Every time I visit this gem, it's empty and I can't understand why, as they serve some of the best food I've had in Ottawa.
I would add ice cream from Pascale's Icecream - she's at The Piggy Market on Winston (across the street and a bit west of MEC on Richmond Rd.) You can also find her ice cream at The Red Apron and at the Sunday Farmer's market at Landsdowne. Also for wonderful tea, to buy, to have lunch or an afternoon pick-me-up is Nectar, on Wellington just west of Holland Ave. Another great bread bakery is True Loaf on Gladstone east of Bronson.
re: Sue
Just got back from a few days in Ottawa. I used to live there, but am now sorely out of touch with the food scene. Went and tried to True Loaf mainly because of this rec, but also saw it in the current Ottawa Life (don't know if I got that name right) mag. The woman (presumably owner) was fantastic. I wanted to try their bun with almonds, chocolate, orange peel and ginger but didn't see any. When I asked she apologized and said that they had been a little overbaked that day so she hadn't put them out. She showed them to me, and while they were a little on the dark side I knew it was my only chance to try them so I took 2, which she sold me at a discount. They were delicious! I stuck my head back in the bakery as she was closing for the day to let her know I loved them. I then got in my car to head home and as I backed out she tapped on my window and gave me her 2 remaining buns. Great bread and great, friendly service!
Definitely Nokham Thai on Richmond Road.
