In West Falmouth on 28A the little roadside cart guy "Native Tom Corn" has some delicious corn (can't say that I know it is truly native, but the sign says it is...)

Maybe they heard the chatter here and it helped them improve the product? Wishful thinking. I may have hit them on a good day (But it is still not serious competition for Red's Eats in Wiscasset).

Had a very nice lobster roll at Island Creek Oyster Bar this weekend. Very nice fresh lobster meat, not overdone with mayo, a nice soft roll - and served with delicious cole slaw and some kettle cooked chips (a side of fries were very nice as well). Not tons of meat so I can't claim it is huge - and at 19.00/roll they could have made it a wee bit bigger - but it was filling and very tasty.

Best Fish and Chips in Boston?
AGREE with Area Man -- Matt Murphy's are the best in Boston (in fairness to all, I have not tried the Fish and Chips at many of the other places discussed on this thread) -- happen to have fish and chips in England and Ireland and still find Matt's better than any I have had elsewhere. They really do it right.

What is the best restaurant in Cambridge?
I do believe their fish is awesome. Agree with your review -- BBQ ranges from fantastic to okay -- just depends on the night and the recipe. The fish has always been a standout - unique ideas - not over-the-top that you lose perspective on the native fish but really fun enhancements to compliment the fish. I have friends that think ECG is the only place to go for an awesome dinner (though the lines can be a little long so a reservation on a weeknight might be the way to go if you can arrange it...???)

What is the best restaurant in Cambridge?
Agree about Helmand - love it. How about Atasca (Portugese) near Kendall Square? I also love Rialto (but would be remiss if I said it was "affordable"). Across the hallway from Rialto - Henrietta's Table is fun and great food (more affordable). Red House on Winthrop Street is really nice and great food. What kind of food do you think your guests want to try? Cambridge is a big place - and there are lots of varieties of foods and styles from which to select.

I would agree FoodDabbler -- both hot (not the hottest dish I have eaten by a long shot -- but it is pretty hot) and absolutely delicious. IF you can't take the heat -- it would not be fun to suffer through it to try to find out if it is delicious. As far as pure heat and fire -- I once had a lamb dish at one of my favorite Waltham Moody Street Indian restaurants that was made "extra hot" at my friend's request -- absolutely it was as as hot as anything I have put in my mouth - almost painful beyond belief ( I could not eat it) and it was amazing to me that it did not melt through the copper kettle dish in which it was served.
Jan 05, 2012PhuKew2 in Greater Boston Area
IT was absolutely wonderful. Separately, for the "I love it hot fans" there was a Chinese food truck that parked in front of 500 Tech Square (Main Street Cambridge) each day, it still might be there, and it has a dry fried spicy chicken dish that is amazing - I used to eat it about once a week because it would become addictive (okay so maybe I ate it twice a week :-)

Best (NON-Buffalo flavored) Wings in Boston?
Walked by Bon Chon last night -- and saw at least 4 or 5 parties of 4 or more dining on HUGE platters of crispy wings -- I did not get to taste them but I actually walked in and got a to-go menu just to make a note that I have to go back and return to try them. The woman who was cashiering explained that you can make choices of the sauces and that sometimes they have boneless wings in limited quantities (at lunch and maybe a few into the evening -but when they are gone - that is it for the day/night).
Any suggestions about other things to order at Bon Chon?
Cold Hollow Cider Mill is amazing ! I have to try Ohlin's and some of the others around town - but I can only speak to when I lived a few miles up the road from Cold Hollow and rushed the donuts home to have them still " Just out of the fryer" warm.
Farmer seeking ideas for a CIDER DONUT SUNDAE
I would personally like to see a cider donut sundae made with Cinnamon ice cream and a caramel sauce (on top of the cider donuts) -- if you want to make it ULTRA Decadent - drizzle a little hot fudge and top it with some fresh whipped cream -- but that makes it fattening.
JoJoTaipei Report - I was there last night (1/2/2012) and coincidentally - I ordered the beef with soft soy-custard on the daily special list (mentioned by opinionatedchef above as --braised beef with tofu pudding (a daily Special).
It was outstanding -- very spicy (not for the faint of heart) but wonderfully tasty and amazing textures. If you like having spicy dishes which are hot and make you sweat/cry this is one to put on your 'must try' list. Even though it is hot and spicy - you still taste the beef and and the really soft creamy tofu custard (granted - it is pretty tasteless all by itself so it needs to be the counter-point to the sauce for the beef). I hope they keep this one on the regular menu forever.
I noted that four or five of the other tables around me had equally amazing dishes that people were enjoying. Interesting bubble teas, ricey/bean desert pudding looking dishes that a group of students were delighting over as well ( I could not finish my dinner so I was not going to even contemplate desert on this visit). I suggest going with a few people so you can order up a bunch of dishes and share them since there are so many interesting looking choices. Looking forward to a return visit.
Agreed AdamD. I love the 2-6 lb/sizes just as much. I have made so many dinners/salads/newburgs whatever you like with the larger lobsters and find them every bit as tasty as the chix at a pound or 1+1/4 -- 2 /bers. I like 'em all ! (Can you tell ?)
Agreed. Great additions -- keeping everything proportionately in the tiniest amounts so as not to impede at all on the wonderful lobster flavor. With this being a cornerstone recipe for success - it is amazing to me that there are not a few restaurants that can seize upon this and truly make a landmark statement with a lobster roll that is excellent let along decent in this area?
StriperGuy knows of what he speaks. 100% agree. Pound for pound - I will take a bigger lobster every time because you can access and use ALL of the meat -- in a small lobster, you end up tossing some of the meat because it is just too difficult to get it out or when you do get to it it is the tiniest bit of meat that you are sorry you wasted the time. In a big bug, it is simple to get it out and worth the effort. It is also tender and tasty. I would stick with the hard-shell lobsters every time. Soft lobsters though are frequently a deal, just are not the firm and super pristine consistency of the hard-shell lobsters. I would not forgo eating them all together but if I had a choice - I would go for the hard shell every time.
I have yet to see an amazing lobster roll in Boston. Red's is pretty darn good (but are you going to drive to Wiscasset from Boston for a lobster roll?). The only consistency I have seen is that everyone charges a lot for them. Even the crappiest of lobster rolls gets a premium. I agree with StriperGuy- go to the market and have them steam the lobster, shuck it yourself, mix in a tiny bit of mayo - a little dash of salt and some pepper -- a shard or two of super-finely chopped celery if it is to your liking - barely a dusting of paprika and you are totally in business. Hard to beat the simplicity if fresh lobster meat. If you like hot dog rolls, or nice french rolls or no roll at all - just the lobster salad you are in business (and it is just about the easiest thing in the world to make). By the way - Shaw's has a special on Fresh Steamed lobsters for 4.99/lb today).
Max and Leo's. Real pizza just off exit 17, Newton.
Agree Jenny --- if they want "fresh" please pre-cook or saute - or do something other than lay them on raw. There has to be a better way than pure canned/jarred mushrooms which actually look funky - and don't taste bad - but are so un-romantic sitting next to fantastic ingredients which are either home made or procured from great places. I need to start really figuring out how to deal with amazing ways to prepare pizza mushrooms.
Max and Leo's. Real pizza just off exit 17, Newton.
Looking forward to your reivew StriperGuy -- you turned me on to Fiorella's in the first place many years ago !
Max and Leo's. Real pizza just off exit 17, Newton.
If I am going to head to Pepe's -- the ONLY pizza I am going to order is the CLAM -- amazing.
Are Buff's Pub wings really all that ?
Buff's are about as good as it gets in terms of classic "Buffalo" wings - the others are good - but just like any place that has their own versions of chicken wings which are tasty. I have yet to find a Buffalo wing in the Boston area that BEATS Buff's -- a few are close to being as good -- but none that I have tried are better. I agree with Cookie Lee and others -- if you are in Cambridge and don't want to trek to Newton Corner -- S & S makes very respectable Buffalo Wings (not quite as good as Buff's - but right up there as a #2 in the area in my humble opinion).

Things are stabilizing as the season grinds on [MLB Power Rankings]
6/24/13 in MLB | Pat | 5233 respect
This week, the bottom 11 teams are all in the same spot they were in last week, showing that perhaps those teams are what we think they are.
The biggest movers this week: the Rangers and Blue Jays, who both moved up 7 spots. The Braves dropped 4 spots, giving them the ignominious honor of the farthest fall of the week.
Without further ado, here are your MLB Power Rankings for week 12:
1. St. Louis Cardinals (47-29) [Last week: 1] - The Cardinals are coming off a 3-game losing streak, but they're still the best team in baseball thus far, and lead an extremely formidable NL Central, which boasts the three best W/L records in baseball.
2. Boston Red Sox (45-33) [LW: 3] - After an excellent start to the season, Jon Lester is becoming a serious concern as of late. Since May 20, he has a 7.30 ERA, and opponents have a .985 OPS against him.
3. Texas Rangers (44-32) [LW: 10] - Well that was quick. The Rangers jump up quite a few spots after last week's epic performance, in which they reeled off 5 straight wins and proved that they're still a force to be reckoned with.
4. Cincinnati Reds (45-32) [LW: 4] - The Reds are in 3rd place in the NL Central, but would be in 1st in any other division in baseball. This is all despite seemingly constant injuries issues with their #1 starter Johnny Cueto.
5. Pittsburgh Pirates (46-30) [LW: 6] - The Pirates have only scored 293 runs this year, which is by far the least among the top teams. Not coincidentally, they've only given up 264 runs, tied with the Braves for the stingiest pitching staff in all of baseball.
6. Atlanta Braves (44-33) [LW: 2] - Justin Upton's average has dipped all the way down to .240 on the season, but it still doesn't even come close to rivaling his brother BJ, who is hitting at an abysmal .175 pace. This brother duo isn't exactly what they were expecting.
7. Oakland Athletics (44-34) [LW: 5] - The A's are 3-7 in their last ten games, which allowed the streaking Rangers to overtake them in the AL West. They'll need to turn things around, because that wild card tiebreaker is no fun at all.
8. Detroit Tigers (42-32) [LW: 7] - The Tigers' +82 run differential is the best in the American League, and trails only the Cardinals in all of baseball. Somehow, they're still a losing team on the road, with a 16-19 record away from Detroit.
9. Baltimore Orioles (42-34) [LW: 8] - The Orioles are tied with the Red Sox and Rockies for the most runs scored in all of baseball, which is a bit of an unusual position for them. But guys like Manny Machado, Adam Jones, Nick Markakis and Chris Davis are tearing the cover off the ball.
10. New York Yankees (41-34) [LW: 9] - The Yankees trail the Red Sox by 2.5 games in the AL East, and they're still not running on all cylinders. This team scares me very much, as a Red Sox fan. I'll be keeping my eye on them.
11. Arizona Diamondbacks (41-34) [LW: 11] - Patrick Corbin's incredible season continues. He's 9-0 with a 2.19 ERA and a 1.00 WHIP. The rest of the D-Backs rotation, however, is a bit shaky at best. He'll need some help.
12. Toronto Blue Jays (38-36) [LW: 19] - After 11 straight wins, are the Blue Jays preparing to make a run in the AL East? They came in with high expectations, and perhaps they're finally starting to live up to them. In other news, Jose Reyes comes off the DL this week.
13. Colorado Rockies (39-38) [LW: 12] - The Rockies aren't exactly hot right now, but they're still sticking around, only 3 games behind the Diamondbacks. Carlos Gonzalez has a .995 OPS, which is better than normal for him.
14. Cleveland Indians (38-36) [LW: 15] - The Indians have only 12 saves as a team, which says an awful lot about their shaky closer situation. It's still a bit crazy, though, that they've had so few saves with 38 wins.
15. Tampa Bay Rays (39-37) [LW: 13] - David Price should be back soon, and that could help the Rays out a lot as they attempt to make a run. If he can come back strong, the Rays could definitely make the AL East very competitive.
16. San Francisco Giants (38-37) [LW: 14] - The Giants had a rough weekend, losing three out of four to the lowly Miami Marlins. Take heart, though, Giants fans. You only have three games left against that particularly juggernaut.
17. San Diego Padres (38-38) [LW: 16] - Edinson Volquez was supposed to be the Padres' ace, but with a 5.67 ERA and 1.60 WHIP, he has been anything but. In fact, he's probably lucky his record is only 5-6. It could (and should) be worse.
18. Kansas City Royals (35-38) [LW: 17] - Ervin Santana and James Shields have been pretty solid despite their combined 7-11 record. Jeremy Guthrie is 7-5 with far worse peripheral numbers, further proving that pitcher W/L record can be deceiving.
19. Washington Nationals (37-38) [LW: 18] - Eric already discussed the Nationals' struggles this year, and it looks like this year will be a long one for them. Still, there's a chance that they could come back. The season is still young.
20. Philadelphia Phillies (36-40) [LW: 20] - Cliff Lee is quietly having an incredible season, but most people won't notice due to the fact that the Phillies have been pretty much irrelevant for the entire season.
21. Minnesota Twins (34-38) [LW: 21] - Opposing hitters are batting .283 against the Twins' pitchers, which is the highest of any team. Joe Mauer is having a great season at the plate, but it doesn't matter if your pitching is garbage.
22. Los Angeles Angels (33-43) [LW: 22] - Josh Hamilton continues his assault on the Mendoza Line, with his average dropping to .207, desperately close to that threshold. At least Howie Kendrick is hitting the ball well, right?
23. Seattle Mariners (34-43) [LW: 23] - I just traded for Hisashi Iwakuma on one of my fantasy teams, so Mariners fans can look forward to seeing him struggle for the rest of the season. Sorry about that, guys.
24. Los Angeles Dodgers (32-42) [LW: 24] - The most expensive team of all time is currently sitting in last place in the not-so-impressive NL West. Red Sox fans are thrilled to see that Josh Beckett's streak of great seasons in odd-numbered years is over.
25. Chicago White Sox (31-42) [LW: 25] - The White Sox are the best team in Chicago... but just barely. The Windy City has seen better days, for sure. Chris Sale is a bright spot, and Jose Quintana shows promise.
26. Chicago Cubs (31-43) [LW: 26] - Nate Schierholtz is leading the team with a .296 average, which is the beginning of their troubles. Their starting pitching hasn't been terrible, leaving them around the league average in team ERA.
27. Milwaukee Brewers (31-43) [LW: 27] - Carlos Gomez is leading all of baseball right now with 4.9 WAR. If he could get some more help from his teammates, the Brewers might actually be able to do something. Although that NL Central is a tough place to play.
28. New York Mets (30-42) [LW: 28] - David Wright is 2nd in the NL in WAR, trailing only Gomez. He's having an incredible season, but his talents are almost being completely wasted on the Mets, who are otherwise pretty terrible at the plate.
29. Houston Astros (29-48) [LW: 29] - The Astros are almost catching up to the Mets, which says a lot more about the Mets than it does about the Astros, who still have one of the worst lineups in recent memory.
30. Miami Marlins (25-50) [LW: 30] - Even after taking three of four from the Giants, the Marlins are still the worst team in baseball, and it's not really even close. The Marlins have some potential, though, with pitchers like Jose Fernandez and Jacob Turner.
If you love these rankings, you're probably a smart baseball fan. If you hate them, let me know why, in the comments below.

My work as an artist is in constant flux. I am inspired to create and collaborate in socially and environmentally relevant ways. From large-scale installations to teaching art to kids, my art is informed by my roles as a mother, a traveler—and as both an immigrant and emigrant.
I am also profoundly influenced by my parent's scientific background (my mother was a biologist and my father was a geologist). Fueled by these interests and influences, I create using a variety of mediums: as videographer, installation artist, painter, and photographer.
From my early years in France (Marseille and Paris) and Senegal, Africa, to the expansive vistas of the desert southwest and my adopted state of California—the built and natural worlds figure prominently in my multi-media installations. My passion for the environment keeps me deeply connected to nature and a sense of place.
My art has evolved from that which is viewed passively, to interactive work that stands at the intersection of community engagement and social change. Through my art, I invite audience participation and co-artist collaboration to explore commercialism and mainstream media as it contrasts with the natural world and my imagined world.
For me, art is less about beauty and more about making meaning that's socially relevant. My work with the Billboard Art Project, which asks people to think differently when they encounter one of my images on an LED billboard, or my video Granted (a Vimeo staff pick), which is about global issues of sustainability and clean water, both reflect my twin aims of social engagement and participatory art.
Through my daily notes—photos and video footage that I take each day, I learn more about, and reflect back, the world that I see around me and I invite you in to do the same.

No two students are alike and their four-year schedule of courses
is not expected to be identical nor to rigorously follow some pre-set standard.
However, most HPS programs rely on a few "core" courses that each applicant is required
to have taken. At R-MC, entering students will have their FYC instructor as an advisor.
While some advisors are quite comfortable with advising students who are interested
in HPS programs, others are not. In either case, it's important to seek the advice
of a member of the Pre-Medical Advisory Committee to insure that you are on the
right track.
Below is a list of core courses required for most medical schools. Similar lists
for other professions are given in the Appendices. Specific information for any
particular school should be obtained directly from the school's websites, so you
should begin your research by considering which medical schools you want to apply
Medical School:
One year of Biology + Lab
Two years of Chemistry + Lab (General and Organic)
One year of Physics + Lab
One year of English

NPR has added another one of my favorites to their 50 Great Voices series. Mrs. L Boogie! Oops my bad, she only answers to Mrs. Hill now.
I don't think I know anyone who does not like her music. She transcends generations. Gloria the Guru (mommy) still
sings tries to sing her songs. The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill is a classic and has been in the dics changer in my trunk since I got my car in 2000 along with The Score. I've made sure she has her own playlist on all my ipods. I think I'm one of the few who actually appreciated her MTV Unplugged album. I miss her voice. Hurry up and come back quick Mrs. Hill. We miss you!
Read the entire article after the jump. It's long but good.

by Zoe Chace
I interviewed a lot of people for my story about Lauryn Hill's voice. I had to, because I didn't know if I'd be able to speak to her myself. The singer and rapper last released a recording eight years ago. She rarely performs in the U.S., and she almost never gives interviews. But her fans haven't forgotten her — they're still pleading for her to come back. Hill is a fantastic singer, as well as one of the greatest MCs of all time, and the story of her voice is the story of a generation.
It doesn't take much for a group of 30-somethings to get nostalgic about Hill. Put her solo album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, on at a bar, and it takes the crowd right back to college days or high-school summers. I met Daryl Lutz while he was hanging out with a group of friends on the deck of Marvin's Bar in downtown Washington, D.C."We went to school in Hampton, Va., and she came to do a show," he said. "It was one of the best times in my life — I mean, she spoke to me! We snuck backstage and I got her to sign my meal card. She said, 'This is your meal card, brother, you know?' I said, 'That's all I got.' She signed it, 'Eat well — L. Boogie.' That's something I'll never forget. I love her. I love her to death."
I heard tons of stories like Lutz's that night — mostly closed with this plea: "Come back, Lauryn. We need you. Come back!" People spoke directly into the microphone, as if it were a telephone line.

Are there any macros out there that will do this automatically?
Like, by pressing one key have it automatically remove nameplates, alt-z, take the pic, then return name plates to previous setting and alt-z you back to normal screen?
i searched a little but couldn't find any.
Theres an addon i found on curse client called smart screenshot it seems to do what you want:
Allows quick creation of clean screenshots, removing names on players and the whole UI, restoring it quick after. Four ways to use it: 1) bind a key in wow bindings 2) use comandline command "/sss" 3) execute the script "DoSmartScreenshot()" or macro "/run DoSmartScreenshot()" 4) hold shift when doing usual sreenshots (NOTE! this will take some time and will generate 2 screenshots, one with and one without UI)

Um well my first kiss was in 6th grade with a boy named Tom it was kinda awkward i remember it being in between periods in school and all my friends were do it again ahh yeah haha and i have never been in love
So your father told you once that you were his princess,
but you don't see your castle and you cannot find your prince.
And now you've grown a lot, and your dresses don't fit right,
your daddy's not a hero, he stole your chariot.
So here you are in pieces, trying you prove to us it's real,
the softness of your smile and the lies you want to feel.
And the scales beneath your skin are showing off today,
there's evil in your heart and it wants out to play.
I've made a home here for me, don't burn it down with your fantasy."—Brand New Eyes Concert Intro [Live in Philadelphia 17-10-09] by Paramore. (via conspiracy-19)

It's a multicultural history lesson, a quick-service diorama, a culinary-science-fair trifold of the restaurant business in Charlotte over the past four decades.
Partners Tung Ngo and Ronnie Yee grew up in the restaurant business here. Yee's father ran The Oriental in the '70s and '80s; Ngo, who came from Vietnam, took a job at age 13 at Imperial Garden, another Chinese place on the east side.
"You had to Americanize Chinese food back then," Yee says, for an audience unsure of and inexperienced with the cuisine.
Both continued to work in Asian places ("it's in the blood"), watching as Charlotte inched toward comfort with Chinese food, then Japanese, then Thai, Vietnamese and Korean (well, a little). Together they opened Sushi at the Lake in Cornelius in 1998. K.O. Sushi and Yoshi's and another Yoshi's followed: different attempts to hit the CLT zeitgeist – long lists of small plates and pared-down menus; warm decor and simpler atmospheres – in areas from uptown to University City.
And Ngo kept thinking about burgers. "Most restaurateurs don't eat what they serve," says Yee. "We always ate burgers." Ngo says he considered doing burgers and sushi in '98 (pre-Cowfish) but didn't think it was time.
Six months ago, the two executed their turnabout: They Asianized the burger. And what a fine turnabout it is.
The signature, eponymous burger glazes cooked-to-order beef – Nom Nom uses Sterling Silver – with house teriyaki sauce, then stacks it with shiitake mushroom, caramelized onion, provolone cheese and the master stroke: ginger-orange marmalade. I know, I know, but trust me. On a soft, faintly eggy brioche bun, this is killer. Says Ngo: "It's not the prettiest burger, but I think it's the most well-balanced."
The Kalbi marinates the beef with a Korean sweet-edged barbecue-like sauce usually used on ribs, then adds kimchi (here a mix of pickled cabbage and daikon radish, for crunch), nori (seaweed) with sesame, roasted garlic, spicy mayo and a fried egg on top (think bibimbap, if you're into Korean food). Terrific.
Other beef-centric offerings: the Pad Thai burger (bean sprouts, carrots and a peanut aioli); the Nom-Believer (American-style: cheddar, bacon, lettuce, tomato); the Black and Blue (bacon, blue cheese, shiitake, spinach).
Chicken begins with the Banh Mi, a Vietnamese take on grilled breast with a lemongrass marinade, served with curry aioli, pickled vegetables, jalapeno, pork pate (though mine was missing this) and a bowl of sweet-edged fish sauce for dipping. (Says Ngo, "I'm not trying to be authentic... We don't have room to make our own baguettes. I've got the flavors.") There are more chicken versions, plus duck (with pork belly), ground turkey, portobello, even a slab of ahi tuna on a "bun" constructed of rice paper wrapped around sushi rice that is both unlikely and delicious.
Servers show enthusiasm, and are speedy and helpful. The place feels like a chain: spare, with colorful signs and weeknight specials, and yes, Yee and Ngo (who's also a full-time contractor) would like to replicate, though it's gone slowly so far.
Is that because the concept's new? The location's challenging? (You have to climb down steps or take the elevator at ParkTowne Village, across from Park Road Shopping Center.) That Nom Nom (the Asian child's equivalent to "yum yum," explains Yee) makes more people think of weird cat videos than affordable food?
You got me. But add fine sweet potato fries and local craft beer to a full-circle story of dining in the American South, and you've got Nom Nom.

No one is emerging well from the Julian Assange extradition circus playing out in London. As the Wikileaker in chief sits tantalizingly beyond the reach of British police in the Ecuador embassy, he can congratulate himself on a rare trifecta.
By holing up in some corner of a foreign field that is forever Ecuador, he is embarrassing the British government, which prides itself on upholding the law. By resisting Sweden's demands that he return to Stockholm to face rape charges, he continues to besmirch the justice system of a country otherwise famous as a beacon of liberality and progressivism. And by picking Ecuador, he is drawing attention to his reluctant host's cruel, despotic regime, which thumbs its nose at democratic governments everywhere.
Add to that a fourth motive – and to Assange perhaps the most important – for his failure to turn himself in: his reproach of America. The reason he cites for not answering sexual assault accusations against him by two women is that Sweden may extradite him to America, where he fears he will be tortured and put to death.
His account of the law is both misleading and inaccurate. Britain could as easily extradite Assange to the U.S. as to Sweden, but it can't. Like the rest of Europe, Britain may not deliver to America a criminal suspected of a capital crime – spying, in Assange's case — because America has the death penalty. The same is true of Sweden. But his suggestion that if America could capture him he would be tortured and killed is plausible. And any who doubt his seemingly absurd claim should acquaint themselves with the wretched plight of United States Army Private First Class Bradley Manning.
Manning stands accused of providing Assange with a document dump of secret information in the biggest breach of security ever suffered by America. While the world's press has reveled in America's discomfort, the wholesale exposure of secret diplomatic reports has made it more difficult to work toward a peaceful settlement of the turmoil in Iraq and Afghanistan. If found guilty, Manning deserves to be punished.

J&J 4Q profit jumps on higher sales, lower chargesBy LINDA A. JOHNSON
The Associated Press | January 23,2013AP PHOTO
Johnson & Johnson products are displayed in Orlando, Fla. Higher sales helped Johnson & Johnson post a much bigger fourth-quarter profit than a year ago, when a slew of charges depressed results.Higher sales of prescription drugs and medical devices helped Johnson & Johnson post a much bigger fourth-quarter profit than a year ago, when a slew of charges depressed results.
However, consumer health product sales dipped and the company again pushed back its timeline for returning recalled products to stores. In addition, J&Js 2013 profit forecast, for $5.35 to $5.45 per share, is below the average analyst estimate of $5.49.
The New Brunswick, N.J., company said Tuesday that net income was $2.57 billion, or 91 cents per share, up from $218 million, or 8 cents per share, in 2011s fourth quarter.
Excluding about $800 million in charges in the latest quarter, earnings would have been $3.38 billion, or $1.19 per share, 2 cents above analysts expectations. The charges include J&Js biggest acquisition ever and increased litigation reserves over recalls of defective DePuy hip implants.
The maker of attention deficit drug Concerta, Acuvue contact lenses and consumer health products such as No More Tears shampoo said revenue totaled $17.56 billion, up 8 percent from a year ago but just shy of analysts average estimate of $17.69 billion.
In late-afternoon trading, J&J shares fell 60 cents to $72.63.
On the whole, the quarter was no problem, said WBB Securities analyst Steve Brozak, adding J&J needs to quickly decide what to do with its $12.5 billion in free cash flow. Are they going to buy, are they going to sell or are they going to stand still?
CEO Alex Gorsky told analysts during a conference call that the company is exploring alternatives such as the sale or spinoff of its Ortho Clinical Diagnostics business. It makes equipment and supplies for detecting and diagnosing conditions such as HIV, diabetes and high cholesterol and for ensuring donated blood is safe.
Johnson & Johnson delivered solid results in 2012, with momentum continuing to build and sales growth accelerating, Gorsky said. As we enter 2013, I believe were well positioned to drive growth in this increasingly competitive, dynamic market.
However, J&Js long-running manufacturing quality problems continue to hurt sales of consumer health products, which were down 3.6 percent in the U.S. and 0.4 percent worldwide at $3.65 billion in the quarter.
The company has issued about 30 recalls of Tylenol and other products since September 2009. Reasons range from nauseating packaging smells to tiny glass and metal shards in liquid medicines.
Costs for upgrades and completely rebuilding one factory, and for lost sales as Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl and other products remained off store shelves, top $1 billion. Upgrading its factories and getting all the products back in stores has dragged on far longer than the company initially predicted.
We will return a consistent supply of our key products over the course of 2013, Gorsky said, with about 75 percent of the brands getting back on the market.
Two years ago, Gorskys predecessor, Bill Weldon, said all the products would be back in stores by the end of 2011.
They havent turned the corner on the fallout from the string of recalls, said analyst Erik Gordon, a professor at the University of Michigans Ross School of Business. Without the sales added by the Synthes acquisition, overall sales were anemic and medical device and diagnostic sales took a dive.
The $19.7 billion acquisition of surgical trauma equipment and orthopedic implants maker Synthes Inc. last June drove a 14 percent increase in sales of medical devices and diagnostics, J&Js largest segment, to $7.38 billion.
Prescription medicine sales rose 7.1 percent, to $6.53 billion, despite continuing revenue losses to generic competition for several drugs. Newer medicines posted double-digit sales jumps, including HIV drug Prezista, Invega Sustenna for schizophrenia and Simponi and Stelara for immune disorders such as psoriasis.
Gorsky told the analysts the company is poised to take advantage of expected growth of health care sales in developed countries from $5.5 billion in 2012 to $8 billion in 2022.
Brozak said the companys growth assumptions are too optimistic, given that government health programs, particularly in debt-laden European countries, are trying to trim their spending.
Theyre talking about a pie ... thats only growing in terms of demand, but whos going to pay for that demand? he said.
For all of 2012, J&J reported net income of $10.85 billion, or $3.86 per share, on revenue of $67.22 billion. The company expects 2013 revenue of about $71 billion.
During a lengthy presentation on the medical device business the worlds largest managers of its three divisions said they intend to increase market share, partly by expanding sales into more countries.
Other sales-boosting strategies they cited include developing innovative products, such as a new artificial knee with improved range of motion that makes climbing stairs easier. Another is giving customers both clinical and economic value, as with a program J&J developed to speed up each step in treating patients with new hip fractures so theyre sent home from the hospital quicker, saving insurance plans lots of money.MORE IN National / World BusinessNEW YORK Procter & Gamble is canceling an on-field breast cancer awareness promotion it had...

Let's face it, every guy wants an older woman. It's not that cougars just like the attention, but they're also down to do the same things girls your age want to do, except with a bit more "maturity." So where are the top spots in the country to land yourself a mega-hottie? Check out our list below and you may be leaving with the hottest lady in the bar... even if she is twice your age!
10. Rockit Bar and Grille
22 W. Hubbard St., Chicago, IL 60654
Living in the Windy, you'll have plenty of opportunities to snatch yourself a cougar, but Rockit Bar & Grille in the River North area is one of the best. Not only will you catch your eyes wandering around the first floor restaurant while chowing down and getting your tipsy on, but head to the bar upstairs and mingle with some of the sexiest ladies you've ever seen.
9. The Patterson House
1711 Division St., Nashville, TN 37203
From the moment you enter the lobby, the tone is set for the type of classy, sophisticated women you'll meet at this bar. You'll find yourself trying to peak around the curtain separating the haves from the have-nots, just to get a glimpse of some of the talent that's in the bar for the night. Once seated, get yourself a Bacon Old Fashioned, sip with some friends, and browse the room for your cougar. Don't be too aggressive though, Patterson House has expectations for each gentlemen to be just that, a gentlemen.
8. Stone Rose
10 Columbus Cir., 4th fl., New York, NY 10019
Not even a long day of shopping will keep the seasoned East coast women from visiting this hot spot. Allow the ambient lounge music to set the mood, enjoy a potent cocktail, and get ready to have a unique story to separate yourself from everyone else.
7. Tangerine
232 Market St., Philadelphia, PA 19106
Although Tangerine is large, the private couches and tables seem to give it an ambiance unmatched by sports bars showing another Eagles game. The lights are low, the music is smooth, and the drinks are strong. It all adds up to a perfect spot for chatting up your cougar crush.
6. Beluga Martini Bar
3115 Piedmont Rd., Atlanta, GA 30305
The signature martinis bring the cougars to the bar, make sure you're the reason they want to leave. Sit in the outside lounge, scope the field of play, and do your thing. With a reputation in Atlanta as one of the swankiest spots around, it shouldn't be hard to get it in with whomever you want.
5. Bliss Bar
4026 24th St., San Francisco, CA 94114
If you want a recipe of style and class, Bliss Bar is the perfect spot to get your cougar. It offers music nights to get the party started, as well as a blue room for you to lay that mack down and get away from everyone else.
4. Library Bar
630 W. Sixth St., Suite 116A, Los Angeles, CA 90017
At the end of a long work week, throw yourself on a barstool or couch, and ask the bartender where his favorite cougar is sitting. With hits from Hendrix and The Dead echoing in the background, this bar allows you to strike up conversation with the cougar of your choice, without the pretentiousness of other cougar spots.
3. Suede Restaurant & Lounge
7307 E. Indian Plaza, Scottsdale, AZ 85251
Get down on the dance floor, but just remember not to break out the running man. If dancing isn't your thing, an outdoor patio attracts the posh cougars of the Southwest, so you can stare at your favorite lady, while taking in some of the other scantily-dressed women. Great location makes this place a good night ending spot.
2. Wall
2201 Collins Ave., Miami Beach, FL 33139
Located at the W Hotel South Beach, Wall is the perfect blend of young and old, giving you a chance to at least leave with somebody if you strike out trying to catch your cougar. Offering bottle service, hot ladies, and dancing, is there any reason why a tanned cougar wouldn't try for her cub here?
1. V Bar
3355 Las Vegas Blvd S., Las Vegas, NV 89109
The absolute epitome of Sin City, V Bar will make you break all the Vegas rules. A unique mix of New York and L.A. rolled into one, cougars flock here for exactly the same reason you do—to take in every bit of Vegas. Sleek lines, double-sided leather lounges and ambient lighting only adds to the appeal for sexy women. After a night here, you'll want to think twice about keeping what happens in Vegas to yourself.

Volunteer firefighter cuts heroic figure in Chile fire
Volunteers and firefighters help after a huge fire devastated an area of Valparaiso, Chile, on April 14, 2014 - by Martin Bernetti
"I would do it over again -- a million times. Being a volunteer is a real calling," the 22-year-old paint factory worker told AFP.
Like the rest of his colleagues at Valparaiso's volunteer 4th company, Victor is desperately scrambling to control the fires which President Michelle Bachelet says could be the picturesque port city's worst.
At his age, he might be new to the calling, as he calls it. But he has four years of firefighting under his belt.
His firefighting company is pulling out all stops to get this record-breaking blaze under control once and for all. It has already claimed 15 lives and left 11,000 people homeless.
Hernandez understands the pain of all those who lost their homes. It has happened to him this week, too.
- Ultimate volunteer's sacrifice -
"I realized how huge the fire was. So I ran down to my company for orders. They sent me running over to La Cruz Hill. But then we had some water problems there because the fire was incredibly strong," Victor told AFP.
"As we were heading away with the fire truck, in the distance, I could see that the neighborhood where my own house is was burning."
Hernandez said he suddenly realized that the family home he grew up in, and his memories there, were about to be reduced to ashes.
"Over at my house, lots of people were there: my parents, brothers and sisters and an aunt and uncle; but they were all evacuated. And that was the most important thing," he says.
The city, an architectural gem located about 80 miles (120 kilometers) from the capital Santiago, is famed for its UNESCO-listed center with cobblestone streets and brightly painted wooden homes.
While the fabled historic center has been mostly spared so far, most of the over 2,000 homes lost so far were wooden -- like those on Lide Hill where Victor lived. They burned up quickly as wildfires raged uncontrolled.
"I am hurt. And I am frustrated. But material things you can get back," said Hernandez. "What I really cared about was that my family was fine, and everybody made it out safely."
For now, his family is making things up as they go along.
"My mom and aunt have gone off to Olmue (80 km away); my brother is staying at his girlfriend's house. My dad works at city hall so he is staying there. And I am staying at the firehouse for now," he explained, his face reddened by the heat and blisters on his hands and feet.
"I am exhausted, achy, and tired. But as long as we have to be fighting the fire, I am going to be there."
- Not about being paid -
In Chile, fire fighters are all-volunteer. There are no salaried firemen. Volunteers usually live off donations.
They are often seen out on the street collecting money for the upkeep of their firetrucks, often donated by European companies.
Some firehalls open their dining rooms to the public at lunchtime, operating as informal restaurants to keep money coming in.
Firemen routinely sleep with a radio nearby as they take turns staffing the station round the clock.
As if Victor had not given enough to his city, he even donates some of his factory earnings to the firehall to support its mission.
"This is a volunteer thing; I am not here to get paid," he stressed. "I like what I do, and I would not change a thing."
Except that he dreams of saving enough to study to become a paramedic or a nurse.
"I will have to take time to get my things on track, until we get out from under all this, and we recover from this disaster."

1. You believe anyone who lives in Detroit is: a drug dealer or
junkie; a murdering carjacker who is dirty, uneducated, stupid, or
just plain crazy. (OK, there might be some truth to that last one)
2. You think Detroit is a cesspool. (I admit that SOME PARTS are
pretty bad)
3. You would NEVER set foot past 8 Mile.
4. Where is Detroit?
It has been brought to my attention that a few people believe
that I am not interested in anyone living in the suburbs. To that I
say: "Why would I do that?!?!" Just live within an hour's drive of
Detroit. AND . . . Just because I chose to live where I live does
not mean that I am blindly in love with Detroit or that I won't
live anywhere else. I just believe in making the best of what one
has. "Think positive thoughts." My grandmother once told me.
On to my profile . . .
Why should you get to know me? Because I am fun and loyal and
loving and a great friend. Because I am dependable AND spontaneous.
Because I have depth and I've got my head on straight but since
I've "grown-up," I realize that this entails knowing less exactly
of what is going to happen in life (though some things I'm totally
sure of). Because I have a genuinely good heart.
Here is what I am NOT: married, separated, recently divorced (or
recently out of a long term relationship), involved with
significant other(s), any "babies' daddy", a druggie or alcoholic,
or looking for just sex-partners.
I am goal oriented and family oriented. I usually have fun no matter what I am doing. And there is much more . . .

Mickey Arison, the owner of the Heat also sent out a tweet saying he is in London and was "just woken up with great news," adding "welcome to the family #20!!"
The Heat were already the favorites to repeat as Eastern Conference champions and have now added the one piece many thought they were missing, a lethal jump shooter.
Allen, who will be 37 next season, is a 10-time NBA All-Star and averaged 14.2 points per game this past season, his fifth with the Celtics. Allen has averaged 20.0 points per game during his 16-year career.

RIVERSIDE, Calif. --- California Baptist University Athletic Director Kevin Steele has announced the hiring of Wade Watkins as the new Cross Country Head Coach at CBU.
Watkins, who begins his duties Monday (Feb. 18), has spent the past eight seasons as the assistant coach for cross country and track and field at NCAA Division II Cal Poly Pomona. He will be charged with restarting the cross country program, which was dropped in 2003.
"I am excited about the challenge of restarting a program that has a rich history," said Watkins. "I am going to pound the pavement to bring quality kids to build a quality program that the university can be proud of. The talent pool is deep in the Inland Empire."
Watkins was a valuable assistant for the Broncos track and field program, working with decathletes, heptathletes, pole vaulters, jumpers as well as distance runners, which he focused on this past season. He also served as the lead assistant for cross country.
Prior to his stint at Cal Poly Pomona, Watkins spent 16 years at Los Altos (Calif.) High, spending 10 of those as the head coach of both the cross country and track and field teams. In his last seven years as head coach, Los Altos was undefeated in cross country and won four league titles in track and field.
In the early 1990s, Watkins competed as a nationally-ranked mountain biker and duathlete (running and cycling).

A letter in the March issue ("IRC Sprinkler Rule
Misinformed") suggests that residential fire
sprinklers are not worth the expense when considering lives
saved. The writer may not be aware of other savings. I have
designed commercial buildings in rural areas where the owner
also had to install the water lines and water storage tanks for
fire protection. I forget the particulars, but recall that for
one building of a given size, the Uniform Fire Code required
that a "fire flow" of 1,000 gallons per
minute had to be sustained for three hours. This meant the site
needed 180,000 gallons of water storage in addition to domestic
water needs. If the building was sprinklered, though, the fire
flow was allowed to be reduced by half — saving the
cost of one large water tank.
A friend in the local volunteer fire department told me of a
nearby city that requires residential sprinklers. This city
saves substantially because it can get by with smaller water
mains and water storage tanks, fewer fire hydrants, and
possibly smaller, less expensive fire engines and fewer
Most fires (the figure I recall is 97 percent) in sprinklered
buildings never grow big enough to activate more than a single
fire sprinkler. I'm sure that this makes fire-fighting
less hazardous for fire personnel. When you factor in these
savings, the overall costs for residential fire sprinklers
would be less than the writer states.
I would like to see more consideration given to installing
sprinklers as part of the domestic water system rather than as
a completely separate system. While a hybrid system may not be
as good as the separated systems found in commercial projects,
it might be adequate for residential use and would reduce
installation costs substantially. This is certainly better than
having stand-alone sprinklers rejected by municipalities
because they are too expensive — then you have no
sprinkler system at all.

Tom O'Brien responds: A consolidation epoxy is a
liquid that's designed to soak into rot-damaged wood,
where it hardens, fortifying the wood fibers and promoting the

After reading Tom Sims' letter about his experience
with an Advanta account ("Credit Card
Warning," 4/09), I don't feel so alone. I too
have had an account with Advanta; for quite a few years they
had the lowest APR of any credit I was offered. It was low
enough that I turned down or — in a few cases
— canceled other lines of credit. Then out of the
blue, with no late payments or over-limits, my rate went up to
19.9 percent.
I am poorly set to pay this card off in the near future, but
in time it will be paid in full and canceled. When I see their
ad in your and other publications, I wish I could put out my
own ad with a warning of things to come.

as it's one piece of information I always use in

more pressure on manufacturers to start making quality tools in
the United States again.

Cook's Note: This Southern dish usually is prepared and served in an iron skillet, but may be cooked in a frying pan with an ovenproof handle.
Im a student without an actual skillet just a larger pan that looks like one but is not oven safe. Any way I can do this just on the stove top

Ok! Someone had the same challenge (and disappointing surprise) that I had when I prepared a 'Best of the Rest' recipe from the 5th Anniversary Cooking With Paula Magazine Keepsake Edition, CHICKEN AND SAUSAGE GUMBO. I did everything as indicated, and it looked beautiful and was chunky, but oh-so bland! I was so disappointed, because I prepared it for a ladies meeting, and because I had always had such great results with Paula's recipes, I did not taste it before serving it! Well, it's a good thing, I had laid out some seasonings and spices, because the Gumbo needed them!, and when used, the Gumbo was delicious!!! So - the 'key' is to remember to add your seasonings, file', salt, pepper, etc. (and I'd think you want to make sure to include in the preparation of the roux)!

the whole family loved it! i did add a little smoked sausage to it, but left everything else the same. i will definitely cook this again!!!
By Anonymous on May 20, 2010
I loved this recipe. I didn't use the topping. Just used it as a quick gumbo and served over rice. All my guests loved it and I will definately use it again!. MCarter
By Anonymous on April 27, 2010
This was a super-delicious and very simple dish to make. The only suggestion I would make is to cut back on the okra just a little and possibly add a little smoked sausage. It was a hit with my whole family!

My previous notion of gardening, plants, and anything that grows from the Earth was that it required soil. A company called AeroGrow has quickly changed this perspective by offering a system that enables plant growth through the suspension of plant roots in mid air. AeroGrow's Aeroponics growth system works by extracting nutrients from the air – as oppose to soil – and additional help is provided through the "smart�? lighting and nutrient cycling system that reminds you when to water. AeroGrow is so confident in their product that they guarantee a 28 day harvest and claim 5 times faster growth 5 then soil based.
Available here starting at $150.

breakfast in DC?
- r
- rhymeswithdreidel Nov 10, 2006 03:23 AM
hi. i'm here for the weekend and am looking for an inexpensive but good place to eat in the city. something unique would be nice. other than that, i don't have many requirements. not a chain would be nice; if it is a chain, local DC/VA/MD chains would be okay.
Luna is great- near DuPont circle as is Kramerbooks for breakfast (I'd skip the rest of their meals).
Colorado Kitchen, 5515 Colorado NW. It's not near Metro (though you can get there by bus). It's widely praised on this board and justifiably so. Definitely unique, with fantastic food and homey atmosphere.
Also unique is the Market Lunch at Eastern Market. It's an old-fashioned diner with communal tables inside a great farmer's market. Get the blueberry buckwheat pancakes. You will have to wait in line for a while, though; if you get sick of that, go across the street to Tortilla Cafe and have a breakfast burrito.
One place I been going to for breakfast lately is Fedo (the irish bar on 7th and H in chinatown) for the irish breakfast. Really a nice plate, 2 eggs, two patties of sausage, two links, 2 pieces of ham, 2 pieces of black pudding, two hunks of soda bread and beans (of the pork and bean fame). For $10.99, its really is great on a cold day. Now, only if I drank, I could chase that with a proper pint of guinness.
Eastern Market on weekend mornings is a terrific destination easily reached by Metro. The lines at Market Lunch are awful on Saturdays so you can try the Salvadoran place across 7th Street as well.
Also in the area is the Tune Inn, 300 block of Pennsylvania Ave, SE, where they serve breakfast all day along with other great greasy spoon diner food. Hawk and Dove on the same block had good breakfast and lots of Hill staffers and neighborhood locals.
Around the corner on 2nd Street is Pete's, another old-time diner. Lots of non-chain local places in those few blocks. They should all be busy in the next few weeks during the Lame Duck session of Congress. A little local color so you'll know for sure you've visited the Nation's Capital.
About the most unique but "down home local" DC experience for breakfast that I know of would be Florida Avenue Grill. Been there for ages and has pictures all over the wall of local and out-of-town celebs to prove it--everybody from Bill Cosby to John Ashcroft has been there. More for local color than food quality tho. 11th and Florida Ave.
For a really good quality breakfast the previously mentioned Colorado Kitchen can't be beat--Sunday for sure, I'm not sure they're open for bkfst on Sat. Be sure to order the donuts---heaven. Colorado Ave near Kennedy St.
One more possibility, near the convention center, would be Saint's Paradise Cafeteria, also know as Daddy Grace's Place, in the basement of the United House of Prayer for all People. Really down home. 6th and M St. I'm pretty sure they're open every day for all three meals.
thanks for all the great suggestions. i actually chose the Florida Avenue Grill. i loved the atmosphere and the food. being from the South (KY and NC) i thought the food was spot on. very friendly service and a nice walk from my hotel at Dupont Circle.

Wanting a "turn off shoulder option" has been on many players' Blizzard wish lists for a VERY long time.
Unfortunately, Blizzard has consistently refused, though their reasons have ranged a bit. Mostly they seem to center around the artwork of their shoulder pieces being a defining look of the game that they do not want to loose.
I know for my part, my entire transmog set for my main was centered around trying to find as invisible a set of shoulders as possible. Even on a clothie this proved difficult. Most of the shoulders that were not bigger than my gnome's head were still brightly colored and/or pointy.
In the end I settled on a pair of Northrend shoulders that curved down and look like leather football shoulder pads. Not ideal, but they were by far the smallest visual profile I could find, and when matched with other brown items they blended in slightly.
Here's hoping with all the rest of their visual changes Blizzard eventually adds a "Hide Shoulder Slot" setting. /fingers crossed

Germany: Stuntman walks up Germany's highest cable car
A Swiss stuntman has made a bid for a new tightrope walking record by scaling a cable car route up Germany's highest mountain.
Freddy Nock, 46, used neither a balancing pole or security harness as he scaled the two inch thick cable to the top of the 9,000 foot Zugspitze mountain in southern Bavaria.
He gained some 348 metres in altitude as he walked the 1,000 metre long route, which took an hour and 20 minutes.
He plans to submit his feat for entry in the Guinness Book of Records as the "longest and highest wire walk above sea level without a balancing pole". (via The Telegraph)
