Innovative author Czerneda brings together major authors and rising stars of the genre for a wide range of tales, with varying levels of success.
Alternative history fans will find this work a diverting afternoon's read that provides intriguing food for thought.
Reviewed at length below are some of the reviewer's favorites:
These fifteen original tales of "what if" explore the futures that might have been if scientific progress had taken different pathways.These stories all diverge from perfectly logical and possible departure points in history, as the authors themselves explain.
In Czerneda's Out of China hypothesizes a world without the devastating effects of the Black Death, when a scholar in 1301 A.D. discovers how the plague is spread and prevents it from leaving China.
Silent Leonardo by Kage Baker wonders what might have happened if da Vinci's inventive sketches had been brought to life by a wily partner and the horrors of modern warfare spread across Renaissance Europe.
Mike Resnick theorizes about the effects of cold fusion on our oil-dependent world
Isaac Szpindel takes a guess at where we might be if Galileo kept his ideas to himself.
Other reviewer favorites include the invention of printing by the ancient Sumerians, to the cloning of Albert Einstein, a world where dogs were never domesticated, and an illegal underground Internet.

Following Monday's 2-1 defeat to Blackburn Rovers second string boss Alan Stubbs had asked his team to combine a good performance with a positve result against Liverpool at Anfield in the Barclay's Premier Reserve League, and for 45 minutes he got just the response he'd been craving.
Everton stormed into a 2-0 half time lead with Greek striker Apostolos Vellios heavily involved in laying on goals for Adam Forshaw and Conor McAleny.
Blues' keeper Connor Roberts also saved a penalty from Michael Roberts, and the visitors looked in complete control.
But after the Reds introduced Toni Brito Silva at the break, the home side burst back into the game and goals from Jesus Fernandez and Nikola Saric meant the fixture ended in a hugely entertaining draw.
The Blues were forced into two changes from the side that started the defeat at Blackburn, Shkodran Mustafi and Shane Duffy were both away on international duty, meaning Tyias Browning and Jake Bidwell stepped into defence - Aristote Nsiala moved to centre half.
The visitors started the game brightly with a five man midfield that looked to press Liverpool at every opportunity.
With just two minutes on the clock, the Blues fed Vellios who stung the palms of Martin Hansen from long range.
Liverpool's early threat came almost exclusively down their right flank, and on 12 minutes Saric just failed to control Jonathon Flanagan's fizzing cross.
Five minutes later Everton took the lead in spectacular fashion. Vellios smartly chested the ball into the path of Forshaw who curled a stunning effort past the helpless Hansen from 25 yards out.
The home side searched for an equally impressive leveller and on 26 minutes Fernandez found some space on the edge of the area, only to shoot inches over the cross-bar.
Soon after Everton's evening took a turn for the worst when Jose Baxter pulled up with an injury, and had to be replaced by Tom Donegan.
On 41 minutes Liverpool worked a free kick well on their left hand side but Steven Irwin failed to control his shot when well placed inside the area.
Just a minute later Everton scored the second goal of the game with Vellios playing an integral part in the build-up.
The Greek striker's flick-on dropped perfectly for Conor McAleny who fired the ball into the roof of the net.
In first half stoppage time Liverpool were awarded a debatable penalty as Aristote Nsiala collided with Jack Robinson on the left hand side of the box.
But the spot kick that followed from Michael Roberts lacked both power and precision and Connor Roberts saved to his left.
Silva then replaced defender Conor Thomas as the home side threw caution to the wind in search of a route back into the game and on 55 minutes his effort was well tipped wide by Roberts.
From the resultant corner Silva's shot was blocked, and Roberts did well to deny Irwin as the ball looped kindly into the forward's path.
But Everton couldn't keep the Reds out for much longer, Jesus Fernandez found the bottom corner from 20 yards for 2-1.
Liverpool almost levelled from the restart as Silva raced clear only to put his effort wide of the post.
With 25 minutes to go the home side did equalise, the Reds' front three were causing havoc, and Nikola Saric found some room inside the penalty area to fire low past Roberts into the far corner.
The Reds were now rampant and on 69 minutes Connor Roberts again had to be alert to deny Silva. Another clever ball into the channel found the substitute, but Roberts darted off his line to extinguish the danger.
As the game entered the final five minutes Liverpool went close to finding a winner. Thomas Ince jinked clear down the left but Silva couldn't convert his low cross.
In stoppage time Everton pressed forward, but the closest they came to a third goal was a looping header from Nsiala from a right wing corner.

At the The Royal Mile Pub, servers and regulars alike greet guests with a hearty "Cead mile failte!" It's Gaelic for "a hundred thousand welcomes," and the sentiment permeates every brew, stew, and show. Juxtaposing the local with the far-flung, Royal Mile cultivates a communal mood while maintaining a Scottish identity. To wit, the menu spotlights haggis, Orkney Scotch eggs, and traditional British-style breakfasts.
Spotlighting Scotland is a trend that also permeates the eatery's decor. Colorful tartans hang from the rafters, some of which match the kilts of live performers. The pub even takes its name from the region: Between Scotland's Edinburgh Castle and Palace of Holyroodhouse, there's a 1-mile series of streets traditionally traveled by Scottish royalty. The Royal Mile Pub is named for this thoroughfare, and its staff has welcomed its guests as it would kings and queens since it opened in 1981.

With a name that means "where the paths cross," it's no surprise that Calleva is dedicated to bringing people of all ages and from all walks of life together to appreciate the outdoors. The certified MAEOE environmental center helps its guests dive into the heart of the wilderness right outside D.C. and raise awareness about its delicate ecosystems. In doing so, it encourages others to cooperate and take risks while stepping out of their comfort zones, like baby birds leaving the nest to start their own nest-building business.
To facilitate these efforts, a team of ACA-certified guides helms seasonal outdoor-adventure and educational programs. In warm weather, activities might include kayaking and canoeing down winding stretches of the Potomac River or paddling to a private island filled with ropes-challenge courses and other obstacles. Fishing and ecological-study programs present even more varied ways to explore the water. Other adventures include the year-round, such as backpacking; the cold weather, such as caving; and the whimsical, such as the annual haunted forest where ghosts and ghouls mingle under a zip-line course.

Most Popular Attraction/Offering: Fly-fishing lessons and guided trips
I'm a first-timer. How do you get me ready for the experience?
If it is your first time fly fishing, we will discuss and practice the basics of casting, tying knots, selecting flies, and finding fish. We will show you how to setup your fly rod and tie on flies, depending on what we are fishing for.
As the old adage says, "Stuff happens." What training do you and your staff have to stay ahead of the unexpected?
Fishing comes with with alot of unexpected events. Our instructors and guides work to resolve any situations that arise. They are also certified in first aid and CPR.
CEO Peter Harvey believes that a quality gym staff must demonstrate more than technical expertise. "Service doesn't only mean showing someone how to do an arm curl," he says. Certified personal trainers develop workouts that zero in on each person?s specific goals, giving clients the skills to pole-vault over impassable plateaus. By steadfastly refusing to hand out fish in favor of putting on master classes in fishing, they help clients become self-sufficient, educating them on fundamentals.
During these one-on-one sessions, and in solo workouts, guests set calories ablaze atop rows of continually updated equipment. Treadmills, recumbent bikes, and strength-training tools line the walls.
Members can also drop in for as many group classes as they can muster. Inside a separate studio, stationary cycles whir in time with galvanizing music, kickboxing strikes arc through the air, and barbells rise with each BodyPump rep. For more meditative practices, Pilates sessions and several types of yoga enhance flexibility and focus.
The first running of the Potomac Hunt Races took place in 1952, and the event has been an annual tradition in Montgomery County ever since. The event celebrates steeplechase racing—a form of competition that originated in 18th-century Ireland, when riders would dash across uneven terrain and use towering church steeples as their beacons. Today, regular two- to four-mile tracks have become the battlegrounds for steeplechase events, and horses equipped with on-board GPS systems have made church steeples obsolete. Potomac Hunt Races carries on the tradition of this modern-day version of steeplechase racing, while implementing a tradition of its own: donating a portion of the proceeds from each year's event to charity.

Title IV Financial Aid is recalculated based on the number of days attended, the total federal aid, and total institutional charges. The percentage of unearned aid to be returned is equal to the number of days remaining in the semester/term divided by the number of calendar days in the semester/term. If you initiate an official complete withdrawal after the 60% point in the semester, you will have earned 100% of the aid you received for that semester/term. The date of withdrawal is counted as a completed day. Scheduled breaks of more than 4 consecutive days within a semester are excluded.
If a return of Title IV aid is required, Lawson State will return the unearned portion of Title IV financial aid funds to the federal programs on behalf of the student. Any return of financial aid funds made by the college on behalf of the student will be charged to the student's college account. Payment for these charges is due on demand. Please pay Lawson State directly for these charges; not the U.S. Department of Education.
If you are one of the few students who are eligible for a post-withdrawal disbursement, you will be sent a letter of notification of your eligibility, which must be returned within 14 days from the date of the notice, or the offer will be rescinded.

3 Effective Tips To Help You Find A Good Dentist
One interesting aspect about learning what there is on Broward County Dentist is that you must decide for your self what is most applicable to what you are doing. We are all under various amounts of information overload, and you and others may not slow down enough to think that there is more to the story. The bottom line is that you do not want to deprive your self of critical information that could be exactly what you need to know. Following this comprehensive approach will ultimately enable you to function much more competently only because you will know what needs to be understood. While some information can look a little intimidating at first, depending on what you bring to the table, you are of course more than capable of understanding the issues involved.
It can be quite a traumatic experience for most people when they have to select a good dentist. Just like with any other job, some dentists are not as good as others. But when it comes to have your teeth worked on, you obviously want a dentist who is not only competent, but also one you like and are comfortable with. So in order to have the highest chances of success, it's important to carefully think about what matters most to you and your family - if you have a family. This article will look at several critical issues that are valid for everyone. You need to consider your own position and expand the list with your own concerns.
We had a lot of fun putting this article together because this subject of Broward Dentist really fascinates us. Once you begin to truly see the breadth of knowledge available plus what it all can mean, then that is a pretty cool thing.
Of course you are here because you have a need to know more, and of course you need some additional support in the way of leveraging the work of others. Not everybody has the initiative to learn more in any truly meaningful way. We think you will agree that added understanding is one of the true paths to personal freedom. Quite often many people find a great dentist by simply asking the people they know. Yes, in many cases, all it takes to find the right dentist is to find out who your friends recommend. It's always a hopeful sign if you find that the same dentist serves several of the people you ask. You can do well this way, as you are asking your friends, who you have faith in. We all do! It's also good to get a recommendation from someone you know because they won't want to give you bad advice and then have to listen to your complaints!
The sector of dentistry that deals with children has different concerns for parents and children as much as dentists. You obviously should take your child with you on the first visit to the dentist. Watching the interaction between dentist and child is critical. Don't worry about being direct and asking the dentist questions. A good question you need to ask is to discover the level of experience the dentist in question has with kids. You also need to carefully watch how much patience the dentist has when dealing with your child. The dentist's facial expressions will help you determine if he or she is genuine and sincere. Ensure that you also determine the degree of comfort your child feels during the visit by watching him or her carefully.
You need to make sure that you fully understand your dental condition. Otherwise, how can you know what work you need done? This means that it is critical for you to determine how well your new dentist will explain matters to you. Does the dentist seem like he/she is interested in your ability to understand?
Be sure to ask a few detailed questions and evaluate the answers you're given. Let the dentist talk and see if what is offered in terms of treatments available, and are they the best and most cost-effective treatments. So, there we go, a few good ideas which should help get your creativity going so you can add to the list. If you want to succeed in finding a good dentist, make sure you ask questions throughout the whole process. Don't be timid or fearful because you don't want to end up with a dentist that isn't the right fit for you, irrespective of the reason. So take your time and be patient about this important process.
One does not have to look far to see how expansive the influence of Broward County Dentist really is. Unfortunately it seems that people never think about things like that until it is staring them in the face.
Just learn what you can about it, and then try not to make too many assumptions about anything. If you only would examine your own and others' behavior you will discover that preventatives is low on the priority list for so many. That really is true pretty much across the board, and it is only after something starts happening that we begin thinking about it. Clearly what you should consider is expanding both knowledge and awareness while taking appropriate measures.

Ephesus was an ancient Greek city that was second in size only to Rome at the height of the Roman Empire. It is situated on the west coast of Turkey near present-day Selçuk in Izmir Province, Turkey. Famed for the Temple of Artemis one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World it's importance was due to its harbor. Later the importance of Ephesus as a commercial center declined as the harbor slowly silted up due to the run off of the Küçük Menderes River.

Our friends at Boostability have been using Amazon S3 to help their clients build websites hosted on Amazon S3. Boostability provides search engine optimization technology and fulfillment services to agencies, media companies and phone book providers.
I recently chatted with Jared Turner, CTO for Boostability. He told me that they needed a solution that was scalable, cost efficient, had a high degree of up-time, API-based, and easy to maintain. By using an AWS SDK, they were able to get to market very quickly, and they have been happy with the very fast response/load times for their S3 hosted websites.
Today we are extending S3's website hosting capabilities by giving you control over redirects. If you publish some content at a particular URL (let's say http://www.example.com/oldpage) and later decide to move it elsewhere (http://www.example.com/newpage) you can now tell S3 to ensure that requests for the old page are sent to the new one. If you move content around or redesign the entire structure of your S3-hosted website, you can use redirects to so that existing references to the old content will remain valid.
Setting Up Redirection
You specify a redirect by adding some metadata to an existing S3 object. You can do this through the AWS Management Console or through the S3 APIs. Here's how to set up a redirection using the console (the "/" prefix is used to specify a redirect to another object in the same S3 bucket):
Let's Be Direct
Now that I've talked about the basics, I'd like to dive a little deeper. Let's start by reviewing what happens when your browser makes a request for an object hosted on S3:
- The browser sends an HTTP GET request such as "GET /oldpage".
- S3 responds with an HTTP status code of 200 ("OK") and the content of the object.
- The browser parses and displays the object (generally HTML).
Now, what happens if you decide to move oldpage to newpage by setting up a redirect in S3? Here's the flow:
- The browser sends the "GET /oldpage" request.
- S3 responds with an HTTP status code of 301 ("moved permanently") and the URL of the new object. This can point to an external web page or to another S3 object.
- The browser sends a GET request for the URL it received in step 2. This request could return the 200 and the new object (the most common case), or another 301 if further redirection is required.
As you can see from reading step 2, you can use an S3 redirect to point to another S3 object or to a URL that's external to S3. Currently, search engines treat a redirect in a transparent fashion and will maintain the rank of a page even if it has been moved.
Read more about hosting a website on S3 and setting up redirection.

West Star Aviation Name Back Again
West Star Aviation is the new official moniker for Premier/West Star and all its affiliated locations, bringing back a name that had been used for more than a decade starting in the 1980s. The circuitous route the company has taken since then provides insight into the reasons the name is back: Premier Air Center in East Alton, Ill., bought West Star Aviation in Grand Junction, Colo., in 2004. The company then acquired Jet Aviation's maintenance, repair and overhaul operation at Dallas Love Field last November. To unify the company under a single banner, the West Star Aviation name made its return. West Star traces its roots to 1952, when Monarch Aviation was founded at Walker Field in Grand Junction. In May 1987 the Buescher family acquired Monarch Aviation and changed the name to West Star Aviation.

Past Present Future
- Location: Mineapolis, MN
- Website: ppf1.com
Vintage Motherload. This is why the web is going to change how we buy furnishings. We were tipped off to Past Present Future by a reader and can't believe was a huge resource it is.
Steven Mogol started Past Present Future in 1976, naming it after Al Stewart singing "The Road to Moscow," and has become the road to Mecca for those seeking American office furniture from 1862 to 1977. While he now has branched out into new and contemporary furniture, accessories, and art as well, PPF (what he calls it) stands out for its deep catalogue of vintage steel furniture.
With Sonrisa gone from NYC, this is your best bet. PPF has seating, desks, tables, files, credenzas, cabinets, bookcases, beds, lighting and artifacts like a disassembled 1890's mansion.
Prices run in the hundreds, not thousands for most of these items, and a fully restored Shaw-Walker Model 8310 with wood seat and slat back is $725 (pic above), while a mahogany stacking lawyers' bookcase (5-tier) goes for $1250. (Thanks, Randy!) MGR

An omnipotent Cosmic Entity by the name of The Beyonder, chooses groups of both heroes and supervillains and teleports them against their will to a planet created by him in a distant galaxy, stocked with alien weapons, technology and mismatched parts from different worlds. He tells them to kill each other, and, to the victor, his greatest desire will be granted.Sound familiar?Inspired by, but not to be confused with, the original Marvel Comics publication Secret Wars.Deviantart member Kostmeyer, started the project in December 2008, inviting artists and writers across the Deviantart community. The series officially kicked off in January 2009, and is currently ongoing, with the finale planned for mid/late 2010. The story is split into twelve parts like the original, each one starting off with a special intro by Kostmeyer, setting the stage for the events to transpire and guidelines to follow for all artists involved.The plot starts off identical to the original Marvel version, with heroes and villains getting plucked from different dimensions and placed on opposing sides by the Beyonder. From then on, however, it becomes more apparent that it's not a retelling, as each and every character follows their own agenda, making for an original storyline filled to the brim with sub-plots.
This Work Shows Examples Of The Following Tropes:

Unfortunately Weitz can't quite get a handle on what the film should be, despite teaming up with the talented Brian Helgeland on the script.
A vampire movie in sore need of a transfusion.
We never get under the skin of anyone here. Freaks never become characters. They're objects of derision.
Harry Potter needn't call time out on his Quidditch game, and Edward Cullen can stick to his beauty rest.
Mixing horror and comedy while minimizing the gore, writer-director Paul Weitz serves up a witty adventure fantasy with a tasty dollop of schadenfreude.
teenybopper fiction brought to life on the big screen, realized as the first installment in a potential franchise that fails to offer reasons why mainstream audiences will want to follow it any further.
The film was based on a series of twelve books (that) must've screamed "franchise pay cheques!" to actors like Dafoe, Hayek and Reilly, who would usually have known better.
Weitz's screenplay (with Brian Helgeland) contains liberal splashes of humour, but in the end the film lacks an emotional hook, perhaps thanks to the lacklustre performances of the young leads.
Promises more depth and substance than it delivers, leaving all the fireworks of the visuals to drive the film's appeal
This adaptation never quite reaches the sunlight. The difficulty is the credible integration of the normal world with that of the freaks
What in the heck is going on here? Not scary, not funny. The story gets lost in the woods. Paul Chambers, CNN.
Reilly's Crepsley makes both the afterlife and any sequels to come equally appealing prospects.
Plenty of good elements here, but a lack of cohesion and a lackluster performance by the lead actor make the film at best a decent rental.
Not a thing in this movie is subtle, from its cheesy special effects to its by-the-numbers storyline to its cardboard cutout characters.
The funny bits are amusing, the action entertaining, the themes simple, the promise of future tales tantalizing, and the overall feel of the movie is more charming than epic or scary.
...not the pandering exploitation film you might expect. It's not all pentup sexuality, ripened teen flesh and brooding ashen untouchable boys.
A colossal bore of a teen fantasy movie ... crammed with trite, prepackaged lessons.
Older moviegoers who can recall the spate of like-minded horror flicks from the 1980s will find much to appreciate.
A fun, energetic adventure with plenty of inoffensive ghoulish touches that should please kid and adult horror buffs alike.
Inept to the core, The Vampire's Assistant never rises to the occasion.
To some extent, then, Paul Weitz's film is parasitically preying on an established trend, but it also has some fresh blood of its own.
Infinitely more inventive than the sweetly romantic Twilight.
Its high production values - not to mention the world's cutest poisonous spider - can't paper over a tepid and drawn-out plot.
Audience Reviews for Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant

Not everything was horrible. The acting was actually really good, particularly the child actors. New comer Chris Massoglia was actually a nice surprise. He played Darren Shan really well. John C. Reily was amazing too, even if this isn't really his kind of movie. The biggest surprise was Steve Hutcherson, who was actually kind of menacing at some times. In fact, the only actor who did a bad job was Ray Stevenson.
Now I can go on to what I didn;t like. First of all, for other fans of the book series, this is absolutely NOTHING like the book. I think what most annoyed me was Darren's love interest, Rebecca the Monkey Girl. That's right, not Debbie, the Monkey Girl. Who is this Monkey Girl? She was NEVER mentioned in the book. Also, Evra's orgins are completely different too. In the movie, he was found in the dumpster. In the book, he was raised by a sadistic sideshow owner who beat him, but was rescued by the Cirque du Freak.
Another bad thing about the movie was Ray Stevenson's portrayel as Murlough. In the book, Murlough was crazy, sadistic, evil, clever and menacing. I've seen teddy bears more menacing than Ray Stevenson's Murlough, and he's the farthest thing from clever that you can get.
While "Cirque Du Freak" may not be superbad, it is very, very, VERY far from being great and is still pretty bad.

BURKESVILLE, Ky. – In southern Kentucky, where children get their first guns even before they start first grade, Stephanie Sparks paid little attention as her 5-year-old son, Kristian, played with the rifle he was given last year. Then, as she stepped onto the front porch while cleaning the kitchen, she heard the gun go off, a coroner said.
In a horrific accident Tuesday that shocked a rural area far removed from the national debate over gun control, the boy had killed his 2-year-old sister, Caroline, with a single shot to the chest.
Down in Kentucky where we're from, you know, guns are passed down from generation to generation, Cumberland County Coroner Gary White said. You start at a young age with guns for hunting and everything.
What is more unusual than a child having a gun, he said, is that a kid would get shot with it.
In this case, the rifle was made by a company that sells guns specifically for children – My first rifle is the slogan – in colors ranging from plain brown to hot pink to orange to royal blue to multicolor swirls.
Kristian's rifle was kept in a corner of the mobile home, and the family didn't realize a bullet had been left in it.
It's a normal way of life, and it's not just rural Kentucky, it's rural America – hunting and shooting and sport fishing. It starts at an early age, said Cumberland County Judge Executive John Phelps. There's probably not a household in this county that doesn't have a gun.
In Cumberland County, as elsewhere in Kentucky, local newspapers feature photos of children proudly displaying their kills, including turkey and deer.
The whole town is heartbroken, Phelps said of Burkesville, a farming community of 1,800 about 90 miles northeast of Nashville, Tenn. This was a total shock. This was totally unexpected.
Phelps said he knew the family well. He said the father, Chris Sparks, works as a logger at a mill and also shoes horses.
The family lives in a gray mobile home on a long, winding road, surrounded by rolling hills and farmland that's been in the family since the 1930s. Toys, including a small truck and a basketball goal, were on the front porch, but no one was home Wednesday.
There's a house across the street, but the next closest neighbor lives over a hill.
White said the shooting had been ruled accidental, though a police spokesman said it was unclear whether any charges will be filed.
White said the boy received the .22-caliber rifle as a gift, but it wasn't clear who gave him the gun, which is known as a Crickett.
The company that makes the rifle, Milton, Pa.-based Keystone Sporting Arms, has a Kids Corner on its website. It says the company produced 60,000 Crickett and Chipmunk rifles in 2008.

A new report from the CDC finds nearly 15,000 people in this country are treated every year for carbon monoxide poisoning and 500 die. Those experts say more needs to be done to educate the public about carbon monoxide dangers.
So, remember that carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, deadly gas that can seep out of furnaces, cars, gas heaters and generators.
Signs that you could be suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning include:
The fire department says every year, you should have your heating unit checked by a qualified person. Also invest in a carbon monoxide detector. Be sure to check the batteries at least once a year.
If you think you are suffering from carbon monoxide poisoning, get out of the house and call the fire department. If you would just like to have your house tested for carbon monoxide call 775-2635.

Peanut-Free/Nut-Free Directory
Our directory is intended as a resource for people with peanut and nut allergies. It contains foods, helpful products, and much more.
Looking for a fun way to share what you know about your own food allergies? Or are you hoping to educate the people around you in a fun way about what it's like to live with a food allergy?
A science fair is the perfect place to share with your peers (and judges!) what you know about how a body with food allergies works differently.
When you have an allergic reaction, you take medication. What is the reaction and why does the medication work? What are the different types of medication a person can take? From Benadryl to the EpiPen, different medications are used in different ways to address different types of reactions. You can use a demonstration or model to show how they work.
Almost everyone has experienced having hives. But does everyone know why they happen? You can use sponges to represent skin cells. Put a dozen or more dry sponges on a cookie sheet then poor a small amount of water in the pan. There will be enough water to make some sponges swell but not all. This is just like your skin. You can take photos of the experiment or demonstrate for the class.
When a person with allergies must avoid certain foods, he or she is missing out on specific vitamins and nutrients that food provides. Take a look at the nutrients an allergen provides. For instance, peanuts have a lot of potassium. Where else can potassium be found?
Wheat has a lot of iron which is good for blood cells. Where else can a person find iron? Dairy has calcium, which is good for bone growth. Where else can you find calcium? You can use sample diets and real recipes to illustrate the need for proper balance even on a restricted diet.
This one is just fun. A sample of rice bread compared to wheat bread or almond butter compared to peanut butter. Soy milk compared to cow milk. Take some time to let people taste the difference. Take a taste test and show the results. Show people that substitutes – for health and nutrition – are easier than they might think.

Skoda Yeti
The Yeti is the first Škoda car which offers an off-road mode for the 4x4 version. It is an intelligent system that adapts the characteristics of the engine and brake assistant systems to driving on an unhardened surface and makes driving on a slope easier.
Hill Driving Assistant
The assistant maintains a constant speed when driving down a hill and prevents the wheels from getting blocked, so that the car does not start to uncontrollably change direction across the slope, when there is a risk of overturning. The driver can then fully concentrate on driving and choose a suitable route.

Top style tips from the men at MSN HQ
Getty Images
In the world of porno parlour games, movie erotica and Jackie Collins' novels, the presence of 'bossy women' is a standard feature and fuels a range of escapist male fantasies. But in a society where traditional male roles are changing can forthright ladies be seen by some as a ball snipping threat to the male ego?
There are three typical views of 'bossy women' mainly reinforced through popular culture - that of the sassy female boss in specs and high heels, the fusty battleaxe (think Ann Widdecombe) or the nagging harpy - usually associated with henpecked husbands found on saucy seaside postcards and in 70s sitcoms.
But in an age of so called sexual equality where as many women work in managerial and professional roles as men, why do some guys still find bossy women not just a challenge but also a turn off when it comes to dating?
Rebecca Newman, Sex Shrink agony aunt for GQ magazine, has her own views on why 'bossy women' can be a turn-off for some men.
"I think there is a level where many men are put off by incredibly oppressive women. A classic example is Sex and The City and its characters, such as Miranda the successful lawyer who can't even get laid.
Rex Features
"If a woman wants to impress a guy on a dating website she's more likely to do it if she talks about how fun she is, adventurous and loving, rather than saying that she's got ten PhDs and a BA in economics."
Some of the traits that guys mention they find difficult to deal with in 'bossy' women range from being 'over controlling' and 'scheduling their time' to 'always being right' with one of the biggest annoyances being 'choosing a guy's friends' - which may just be worse than always hogging the TV remote.
But isn't the notion of 'bossy women' and calling them such simply a throwback to when sexism wasn't even an acknowledged concept?
"A bossy man certainly isn't such a problem in society in the same way" says Rebecca. "It's almost accepted because it reflects the status quo. It's been part of historical tradition that women were oppressed and stayed at home and even today this still feeds into the way that a woman tends to be called a 'slag' but a man would be called a stud or bachelor. Where a woman may be termed 'bossy' a man would just be called 'assertive' and I think the same behaviour in men and women is more tolerated in men."
Double standards
Tony Reynolds, who writes for adult magazine Foreplay and receives bundles of letters from men and women, believes that socially, and in some areas of work, men may find it more difficult to deal with bossy women.
Rex Features
But from a sexual fantasy perspective, he sees that some guys are inclined to like the idea of an assertive woman dominating them.
"We get explicit fantasy letters from men who come from very male orientated backgrounds at work, where there's a canteen culture and assertive women are given a hard time. Some of these guys are obsessed with dominatrix type characters and mistresses taking control of them.
"As long as they are allowed to feel they are wearing the pants at home and bringing home the bacon, they allow themselves to be turned on by acting submissive and being chastised by strong, domineering women whipping their asses!"
There's no doubting that some guys are prone to a schizoid mentality towards women - the old cliché of wanting a Maria Von Trapp-figure in the kitchen suddenly able to transform into the Whore of Babylon in the bedroom.
Likewise some men seem to have a problem taking orders from women but conversely also like the idea of a woman being sexually liberated and adventurous.
PA Wire
Perhaps that's why comic-strip, ass-kicking females like Barb Wire and Lara Croft are so popular with some men?
Male emasculation
Two thousand men were questioned in a survey by television channel DMAX back in 2008 where the results revealed only 33% felt they could speak freely and say what they thought.
Asked what they believed society was turning them into, a sizeable number answered 'waxed and coiffed Metrosexuals' - which could best describe most professional football players these days.
The problem it seems is that as 'traditional' roles for men have been changing over the past 30 years, guys can feel 'disenfranchised' if they're not the breadwinners or clubbing some unwitting female to take home to the urban cave.
But what's odd here is that most of these same guys with identity issues who seem threatened by a self-assured, high earning and even possibly 'gobby' woman, don't seem to have a problem with other men who are equally forthright, direct and generally bossy.
Getty Images
Perhaps rather than blaming women for a lack of spine fluid they should be examining why they hold onto double standards in a world where half the female population is working?
Why bossy women appeal
Conversely bossy women are exactly what some guys are looking for in life - with the exception of those searching for a Mother-figure who fail to break away from the apron strings.
It may be a bit of a myth that behind every successful man there's a woman driving his career but it can't hurt a guy's promotional chances if his wife or girlfriend is smart, tenacious and can play a guy's employers with all the smooth manipulation of Mata Hari.
Some famously successful dudes with ass-kicking female partners include:
Winston Churchill: not technically the wife, but his American mother Lady Randolph Churchill who was a force to reckon with and helped nurture young Winston into the famous leader we know of today.
Henry VIII: I doubt we'd be so fascinated by old tubby Harry Tudor if it wasn't for his six wives, particularly the feisty Anne Boleyn, who got him to change this country's religion.
Bill Clinton: His wife Hillary has moved from being US President's Svengali who acted as a sounding board for her husband's early campaigns to becoming a political power in her own right.
AP Photo
JFK: Another revered alpha male US President with a formidable and opinionated woman behind him in the shape of Jacqueline Kennedy, who even had the guts to continue office hours after her husband's assassination.
Alexander the Great: The Greek hero's sexuality is debatable but it can be argued that his ruthless mother (no not Angeline Jolie but Olympias) was instrumental in young Alex's global conquering campaigns.
If you do have problems with bossy women at home or work it may be a good idea to ask what it is that is so irritating?
Is it because such women are demanding of your time or feeling that they are in a role of superiority? Do they make you feel obliged to do things you don't want or is it simply the fact that a particular woman is in a senior position?
Rex Features
If it's any of the above the issue may be one of boundaries rather than certain women being specifically bossy. Rebecca from GQ believes it's a matter of changing mental perspective.
"Maybe some guys are placing themselves in a position to allow a bossy woman to push them around? So learn to say no, you may be surprised by the reaction. It's important not just to develop a more assertive outlook but also to remember that these 'bossy' traits aren't to do with women in general - they just happen to be personality traits of an individual".
Relocate your gonads
Perhaps it's time for some guys to stop whinging about it not being a man's world anymore - as if it ever was - and to start being a bit more assertive themselves in their relationships.
After all, according to many surveys in women's magazines, besides wanting men who are sensitive, romantic and willing to share domestic duties, women also want guys to be confident, show initiative and display a bit of pre 'New Age Man' masculinity in body language and actions.
It's a bit of a challenging schizoid role to play but, according to advice on the Modern Man website, women today - no matter how keen on sexual equality - still "fantasise about meeting the kind of man who has the confidence to walk up to her, start a conversation and sweep her off her feet".
Getty Images
Rebecca agrees, as long as the woman in question has an approachable nature and doesn't come over as a cross between Madonna and Mussolini.
"Even with the term 'bossy women' you can almost feel men's testicles contract. I think what's really off putting is that one person in a partnership should have this narcissism and an attitude that the whole world revolves around her. It's not good for a relationship or friendship and it'll mean he'll be hideous in bed. The idea of one domineering person dictating left, right and centre - it's as attractive as a bucket of cold water".

Farmers' Market Report: Weiser Family Farms
Los Angeles
Blue potatoes, red carrots, purple cauliflower – the rainbow of offerings at Weiser Family Farms is so vibrant right now that we couldn't limit this week's market report to just one fruit or vegetable. Weiser also has an extra special treat this month that Angelenos should keep an eye out for. And even if you don't shop at the Hollywood Farmers' Market, read on for recipes that cover the spectrum of seasonal produce.
Tehachapi's Weiser Family Farms is one of the stars of the Hollywood Farmers' Market and other Southern California markets. Renowned for their premium organic potatoes and carrots, Alex Weiser's produce isn't just Technicolor beautiful, but always wonderfully flavorful, tender, and sweet. We've been known to proclaim that we'd never truly tasted potatoes until we discovered these ones. The rest of the farm's offerings are just as superb.
Here's what's in season at Weiser right now, along with recipe suggestions. Among the fall and winter staples like turnips and parsnips are super-sweet red flame raisins on the vine. They are not to be missed and should be available for at least another week.

Oh Man! I MISS Weiser Farms! They were my hands down favorite vendor at the market when I lived down in Long Beach! They introduced me to romanesco and crosnes!!
They are written about in Russ Parsons' book, "How to Pick a Peach", too!
Great vendor. Love those potatoes.
these pictures make me wish i wasn't so damn lazy. I've been cooking more - but I rely on Ralph's I'd like to really start to do the whole local grocer/farm thing - but I feel so dumb when I'm at farmer's markets. Maybe I will hit the Hollywood farmers market next weekend.
Chusmabilly, I hope you don't let feeling dumb keep you away from the farmers' market! The farmers, and even other shoppers, are always so happy to answer questions and give cooking suggestions. You'll discover lots just by letting the farmers talk about their produce, tasting samples, and bringing things home even if you're too shy to ask what they are (and then feel free to ask us at The Kitchn!). The book that spotonmeg recommended above, How to Pick a Peach by Russ Parsons, is also a wonderful beginner's guide to selecting and cooking fresh produce.
I was a fan of the Weiser vegetables but hadn't tried the Jerusalem artichokes until a few months ago: delicious! They're wonderful and creamy when roasted (just a little olive oil kosher salt pepper); my next experiment will be making a soup out of them. It was Alex Weiser who encouraged me to try them, and that underscores Emily's point: don't let feeling dumb keep you away from the market or keep you from trying new things. If I'm going to try something, the odds are on my side when the recommendation comes from one of the farmers I've come to know and respect.

The Purity Promise
These days, young stars are sacrificing sex in favor of virginity vows. Momlogic explores this modern movement -- and what it means for teens everywhere.
What's the latest accessory to grace the bodies of teens wearing barely-there skirts and tummy-bearing tops? Purity rings. Selena Gomez, the 15-year-old star of Wizards of Waverly Place, wears one on her left ring finger that says: "True Love Waits." And the pop group the Jonas Brothers (Kevin, 20, Joe, 18, and Nick, 15) don silver metal bands to signify their promise to God to remain virgins until marriage.
American Idol winner Jordin Sparks says of her ring: "My parents gave me a purity ring and talked to me about waiting until I'm married to have sex. It wasn't forced; it just made perfect sense. It's going to be awesome to say to my husband that I waited my whole life for him."
These stars seem to want to prove they can be young and have fun without sacrificing their beliefs. And although this celebrity pledge may inspire young teens to wait until marriage, the numbers show they are just a reflection of a booming trend. Over the past decade, the number of Web sites selling purity rings has skyrocketed. In fact, sociologists found more than one in eight American teens have made a virginity vow to God.
K-Mart now sells gray, yellow, and blue sweatpants that proclaim in what they call "bold abstinence screen print" a logo that reads "True Love Waits" on the crotch and butt of the pants. And there's a new magazine geared toward junior high and high school students called Just For Girls, which encourages "abstinence living."
The good news: Studies have shown that purity pledges lower the risk of early sexual activity and teen pregnancy. The bad news: Researchers have also found that girls who make purity pledges were six times as likely to engage in oral sex than virgins who hadn't taken a pledge, and were also less likely to use a condom the first time they go all the way.
What do you think of purity pledges: good idea or a waste of time?
Great website! I am loving it!! Will come back again. I am bookmarking your feeds also
This page seems to get a large ammount of visitors. How do you promote it? It offers a nice unique spin on things. I guess having something real or substantial to say is the most important thing.
Really like your websites details! Undoubtedly a wonderful offer of data that's extremely helpful. Keep it up to hold publishing and i'm gonna proceed studying by means of! Cheers.
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
Coming home from very lonely places, all of us go a little mad: whether from great personal success, or just an all-night drive, we are the sole survivors of a world no one else has ever seen.
Hey there, You have done an incredible job. I will certainly digg it and personally suggest to my friends. I am sure they'll be benefited from this website.
Hello! keeeeeg interesting keeeeeg site!
This has made my day. I wish all psotnigs were this good.

A Powerful Force for good since 1961
Over 50 Years of Outward Bound in the U.S.
"There is more to us than we know. If we can be made to see it, perhaps for the rest of our lives we will be unwilling to settle for less."
— Kurt Hahn, Founder
Outward Bound was founded in 1941 in the tumultuous waters of the North Sea during World War II, to provide young sailors with the experiences and skills necessary to survive at sea. Named for the nautical term for a ship's departure from the certainties of the harbor, Outward Bound was a joint effort between British shipping magnate Sir Lawrence Holt and progressive German educator Kurt Hahn. Hahn had developed his progressive ideas, first as founder of the Salem School in Germany, and later at Gordonstoun, a boarding school in Scotland, that soon became one of Britain's most distinguished and innovative schools. Hahn believed education must encompass both the intellect and character of a person. In creating the first Outward Bound School, he expanded the concept of experiential learning to include real and powerful experience to gain self-esteem, the discovery of innate abilities, and a sense of responsibility toward others. Outward Bound has since become the premier experiential education program in the world.
History of Outward Bound in the United States
The history of Outward Bound in the United States began in the early 1950s when Josh Miner, an American who taught under Hahn at the Gordonstoun School in Scotland, was inspired by Hahn's philosophy and teaching model. Over the ensuing decade, and with the support of other inspired and capable individuals, Miner founded the Outward Bound movement in the United States and established the first U.S.-based Outward Bound School in 1961. This first Outward Bound School was founded on the principles of hands-on learning through outdoor adventure. In 1962, Outward Bound led its first U.S.-based course. C-1, had 35 students who set off on June 16 in the Colorado Rockies. 2012 marked Outward Bound's Golden Anniversary and 50 years of leading the way in experiential education in the United States.
Outward Bound gave rise to an entire outdoor education industry in the U.S. Today, with its nationwide system of wilderness courses, special programming for at-risk youth, professional and group programs, and community-centric programming spanning the continent, it is as strong and relevant as ever. Hundreds of courses are delivered each year through a national network of regional schools, and we serve thousands of students with diverse interests, varying physical abilities and social backgrounds.
Outward Bound is the leading experiential education organization in the United States, helping to change lives and communities for the better. In these challenging times, Kurt Hahn's vision of learning through experience is as valuable and necessary now as ever before.

More characters revealed for Avengers: The Battle for Earth
4 Jun 2012  by
Ubisoft has showed off a CG trailer for the forthcoming Wii U and Kinect title Avengers: The Battle for Earth which reveals a few more of the Marvel characters that'll feature in the game. In the footage, we get to see Wolverine, Venom, Spiderman, Magneto and Storm having a scarp, while the Avengers (Thor, Captain America, Hulk, Iron Man and Black Widow) look on.
The title is said to be based on the 'Secret Invasion' comic book series rather than the recent film, and a total of 20 Marvel characters will feature in the game.
See the trailer, below.

Alone : Finding Connection in a Lonely World
Help today's teens find real meaning and community in our connected but isolating world.
Hundreds of Instagram friends. Thousands of text messages. So why do students feel so alone?
It's a sad irony that today's students have never been more connected and have never felt more isolated. Andy Braner believes the answer lies in showing students how to build real and lasting community that's centered on God's love and grace.
This is an important and essential read for parents and modern youth workers. Learn how leading healthy students begins with a solid understanding of gospel community and mission.

It's a massive leap forward over the old Super Duke which was far from a bad bike.

Non-retro naked street-rod motorcycle was a brave marketing decision from Honda. Unfortunately the Honda CB1100 X-11's sales were slow and the plug was pulled quickly. Often thought of as an unfaried Honda CBR1100XX Super BlackBird – but it's not. The Honda CB1100 X-11 is indecently powerful, big, very well put together and slightly iffy in the corners.

Rolling along the eastbound Interstate 94 and Century Avenue ramp in Maplewood was a frightful sight -- a school bus engulfed in flames.
The Minnesota State Patrol confirmed no injuries were reported and no students were riding a school bus that caught fire Tuesday afternoon, but the incident blocked a lane of westbound traffic near Century Avenue shortly after 3 p.m.DRAMATIC VIDEO
At one point, the flaming school bus started to roll down the road, directly toward a parked fire engine. Video of the bus fire was submitted to Fox 9 News by Tom Linnell.
"She's rolling! Hey, it's rolling!" someone yells, before the fire truck is put in reverse to avoid a crash with the burning bus. The bus eventually came to rest in a grassy ditch next to the Merit Chevrolet dealership.
The preliminary investigation suggests the fire may have started in the engine compartment, according to State Patrol Lt. Eric Roeske.
SHARE THIS VIDEO: http://bit.ly/1kmxqn8
"At first it was pretty intense, wondering if there were kids in there," said witness, Ron Hogan. "Scary."
Maplewood Fire Chief Steve Lukin told FOX 9 News the bus driver had just dropped off his last load of students. After the driver noticed a burning smell, he pulled the school bus over. Meanwhile, Hogan was looking on.
"I ran outside quick I asked the bus driver was just coming off the bus and he was carrying his lunch pail, so it didn't look to threatening," Hogan recalled.
The driver was outside glaring at his bus -- but five minutes later, the scene changed.
"It just started in flames. Then it escalated pretty quickly from there. Flames just went through the whole cab," Hogan said. "Cars were driving by and the stoplight was red. Next thing you know they were backing up and cars were sitting right next to it."
While on the scene, Lukin said his crew encountered another startling close call.
"They were in the process of pulling out their inch and a half lines to make an attack on the bus and then the bus decided to start coming down the ramp way," he said.
The flame-engulfed bus then got within inches of the fire rig. Luckily, the bus then steered itself onto the ditch.
Wthin minutes the fire was completely put out.
"You hear of close calls like that but I tell ya what, in my 37 years, I can tell you I never seen one or been there when it's been that close of a call, and I really don't want to see one again," smiled Chief Lukin.
Lukin believes the fire started in the engine compartment. An investigation into what caused the fire could take up to 60 days.

The British actress has taken her clothes off on camera for films including The Duchess and The Edge of Love and she insists she is not embarrassed to bare all for a role.
She tells British newspaper The Mirror, "I'm not prudish when it comes to nudity. If the role calls for nudity, then I'm going to be naked. I'm not afraid to expose myself that way."
However, Knightley, who is engaged to Klaxons rocker James Righton, is adamant she finds love more difficult to fake than passion.
She adds, "I'm much more worried about revealing personal sides to myself, which I find harder to do. The hardest thing to capture about love is the actual physical intimacy between two people.
"The way two people behave when they are next to each other and touching each other, holding hands, resting your head on your partner's shoulder. In your personal life, you generally don't think about the fact you're touching your partner. That's a difficult thing to capture on film."

For months now we've told you about the House for Hope. It's a brand new house in Shreveport someone will win later this month.
But I don't want us to lose site of the reason behind the house give-away. It's a fundraiser for Community Renewal International.
Money raised will help build Friendship Houses in our community. Those Friendship Houses directly benefit the less fortunate in the ArkLaTex.
Many of our neighborhoods are run down, crime ridden and drug infested. The Friendship House is a refuge from all the bad things that can happen. It's a place for children to go after school and during the summer. It's a place for families to go for help.
Contributing to the House for Hope is a way to invest back into our most challenged neighborhoods right here in the ArkLaTex and maybe win a brand new house.
The house we are giving away on June 28th is now complete. It's located in Island Park in Shreveport. It's valued at more than $320,000. For a chance to win, you can call this number to reserve your ticket or go by the house, see it in person and purchase your $100 ticket. The house is open daily from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. the House for Hope is a joint project of KSLA News 12 and the Homebuilders Association of Northwest Louisiana.
Someone will win this house. The time to buy your chance is now.
I'm James Smith.

I meant swans, yes. And I remember that I fastened a great furry leaf to one of the swans. It looked like a burdock-leaf—–
And then it turned into Lohengrin's boat—with the swan yoked to it.
How fond you were of that game, Irene.
We played it over and over again.
Every single Saturday, I believe,—all the summer through.
You said I was the swan that drew your boat.
Did I say so? Yes, I daresay I did. [Absorbed in the game.] Just see how the sea-gulls are swimming down the stream!
[Laughing.] And all your ships have run ashore.
[Throwing more leaves into the brook.] I have ships enough in reserve. [Follows the leaves with his eyes, throws more into the brook, and says after a pause.] Irene,—I have bought the little peasant hut beside the Lake of Taunitz.
Have you bought it? You often said you would, if you could afford it.
The day came when I could afford it easily enough; and so I bought it.
[With a sidelong look at him.] Then do you live out there now—in our old house?
No, I have had it pulled down long ago. And I have built myself a great, handsome, comfortable villa on the site—with a park around it. It is there that we— [Stops and corrects himself.] —there that I usually live during the summer.
[Mastering herself.] So you and—and the other one live out there now?
[With a touch of defiance.] Yes. When my wife and I are not travelling—as we are this year.
[Looking far before her.] Life was beautiful, beautiful by the Lake of Taunitz.
[As though looking back into himself.] And yet, Irene—–
[Completing his thought.] —yet we two let slip all that life and its beauty.

As pro-democracy activists continue their campaign of civil disobedience, China applies pressure where it hurts — on the territory's businesses and media
China's communists say Hong Kong will get universal suffrage as promised in 2017, but Beijing will control which candidates are selected.
Unofficial poll organized by the Occupy Centre with Love & Peace garners more than 700,000 votes, with a week more to run
China does not permit Cardinal Joseph Zen Ze-kuin to enter the mainland anymore. But they cannot silence his voice in Hong Kong, or in Canada
Beijing is offering cash rewards for reductions in pollution, as the WHO declares that the air in some cities is a bigger cancer threat than second-hand smoke.
Hong Kong's embattled chief executive faces calls to resign after flouting planning rules — just like his discredited opponent.
Nobody seriously believed in the "One country, two systems" bromide uttered by Beijing's new mandarins when they reclaimed Hong Kong. But this year's attempt to impose China's version of history on the territory's school children has been met by protests and sit-ins.

I've seen these made before but I'm just not a fan of sunny side eggs and oozing yolk.
The Best and Easiest Toast in the World – probably
This is my officially new favourite for breakfast/brunch. It is damn easy and extremely yummy. First think of soft-boiled egg; then think of cheese toast; THEN think of soft-boiled egg AND cheese toast. You have just attended the best wedding ever between two heavenly food in this world. They are so destined to be together and I'm sure their marriage will be blessed, for eternity.
Okay, so maybe I'm a little bit exaggerating. But for a soft-boiled egg lover and cheese lover and a toast lover like me, this simple recipe couldn't be better. And it's so easy! I chanced upon this recipe when I was random hopping on Sunday night and I found this site which is also a yummy food blog (the photos really make me drool -almost-). And I immediately made it on Monday morning. It takes only around 20 minutes to make it – probably less, and it's so delicious that I wanted to make another piece for myself but hey, I have to watch my calories o.O
Well without further-ado, let me share this easy breakfast with all of you! =)
Best and Easiest Toast in the World (serves 1)
2 slices of bread
1 egg
1 slice of cheese
Salt and pepper
Butter (optional)
Preheat the oven to 175 degrees Celsius.
Using a cookie cutter, cut a hole out of one bread (you can munch on it while you prepare the bread!). Place another slice of bread on a rack. Cut the slice of cheese into 4 strips and lay them as close as the edges of the bread as possible. Lay the bread-with-a-hole on top and then crack the egg inside.
Sprinkle with a little salt and pepper and drop in a dot of butter into the egg. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes till bread is browned. The egg will be 3/4-cooked. Serve immediately.
Yum~ I'm definitely making them again soon!
Happy baking!

we call these bulls eye's and yes they are the greatest breakfast food!
i simply love it!! =)
how do i prevent my bread from getting burnt easily before my egg is half-cooked?
