The leader of the Civil Rights movement, a passionate advocate of non-violent resistance who had studied Gandhi's methods and brought them to bear on American racism, Martin Luther King, Jr. moved the nation toward justice through the sheer force of his personality and conviction. But on April 4, 1968, a sniper's bullet claimed King's life as he stood on a motel balcony in Memphis, Tennessee. Almost immediately, there were charges of cover-ups and government complicity in the crime.
CONSPIRACY? reveals how those suspicions have lingered for decades, and examines the evidence which suggests they might be grounded in reality. Experts analyze the competing versions, from the official story naming James Earl Ray as the lone killer to the 1978 House Select Committee on Assassinations report which proposed that Ray acted on behalf of a conspiracy.
Detailed, far-reaching and filled with expert interviews, WHO KILLED MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR.? is the ultimate examination of one of the 20th century's defining events.

Moir Christmas Classic: Davie girls 59, Carson 47
SALISBURY Carsons girls entered the Sam Moir Christmas Classic feeling good, but the Cougars exited with one easy victory, two ugly losses, red eyes and long faces.
Loss No. 2 came at the hands of Davie County, which handled the Cougars 59-47 in the third-place game.
Second-seeded Carson (10-3) had one positive moment when senior Allison Blackwell scored her 1,000th point on a third-quarter offensive rebound, but the Cougars had serious issues, including 28-percent shooting and allowing 17 offensive boards by the fifth-seeded War Eagles (8-6).
It was good to get the 1,000 points, Blackwell said. But I would rather that it happened in a win. We didnt play well, and a lot of things contributed.
One thing that went horribly wrong was that Carson shot 3-for-25 on 3-pointers against Davies long-armed zone, and you can almost achieve that percentage blindfolded.
We got exposed some in this tournament, Carson coach Brooke Misenheimer said. Weve prided ourselves on being a good defensive team, but the last two games weve had a lot of lapses.
Carson had not allowed 50 points to anyone prior to the tournament, but Davie put up 57 just as Salisbury did when it beat Carson in the semifinals.
We just havent been able to get our rebounding right all year, Blackwell said. And dumb fouls hurt us a lot. We were getting over-the-back fouls when they clearly had the rebound and we were getting touch fouls on their drives. They kept shooting free throws, and they were knocking them down.
Pfeiffer signee Amy Steller scored 25 points for the War Eagles. She had three and-ones her specialty and was 13-for-14 on free throws. Steller produced one of those and-ones as she tumbled upside down into a wall.
I cant explain it, she said. I dont know how I learned it, but Ive always been good at drawing fouls.
Both teams had tough semifinal losses, with Davie losing by a point to West Rowan. Davie handled disappointment better.
There was some heartbreak with West, so I wouldnt have been surprised if wed come out sluggish, Steller said. Instead, we had some fire.
Misenheimer was hoping for a blaze of her own, but the Cougars were flatter than Kansas.
There were a lot of things we didnt do well when we lost to Salisbury, and we didnt do those same things well again today, Misenheimer said. Id hoped for more enthusiasm and energy, but we had no emotion whatsoever.
Carson is dependent on Blackwell and guard Kelly Dulkoski for offense, and it isnt going to win against anyone when Dulkoski shoots 5-for-27.
Dulkoski, who didnt start and sat for four minutes, was 8-for-10 on free throws to manage 20 points, while Blackwell had 17 points and seven boards.
But the Cougars got only four field goals from the rest of the roster.
We were active in our zone and got a hand up on shooters, Davie coach Denny Key said. We were basically able to guard two people with five.
Carson trailed 30-22 at halftime.
The Cougars did make a run in the fourth quarter behind Blackwell and got as close as 44-41, but Emeral Gadson got a huge stickback for Davie, Steller drained two more free throws, and Gadson scored again on a layup. The lead went back to nine, and it was over.
Gadsons play came right after a rebounding timeout when I told the girls they had to start going after it, Key said.
Misenheimer said the Cougars will start fixing things Monday. Key says theyll be OK.
Theyre quality, he said. Theyll win 20 games.
DAVIE (59) Steller 25, Hatfield 12, Gadson 8, Zaferatos 5, Peebles 3, Wooten 3, Peterson 3, Jones, Bode, Bohannon, Brown, Dennard.
CARSON (47) Dulkoski 20, Blackwell 17, Cole 5, Huffman 2, Allen 2, Gray 1, Barringer, Parks, Clark.

That feeling when you go to set the heat to 'on', expecting the comforting rumble of the furnace returning to life only for..nothing to happen? It's a terrible feeling that leaves your stomach sinking down to your knees. I experienced this last year at the height of Winter - I do my best to only turn it on when I absolutely need to which is made possible thanks to the high quality which my house has been sealed with. So this year I decided to go ahead and call a furnace repair in Bergen County NJ to inspect my furnace.
I'm starting to think that I should have had it replaced rather than patch it up but at the time with it being so cold, all I was concerned about was having the heat turned back on. There was no way that I was going to sit in that house in below freezing temperatures for two weeks! I was already forced out of the house thanks to the Vortex which was embarrassing enough. If only I had done last year what I have been organizing this year, I know I could have avoided all of the hassle.
See, this year I have been working on a step by step guide that I am utilizing only for Winter. I am calling it my Winter Preparedness Guide which is a checklist of things that I need to do to make sure that the house is going to be ready to take on whatever Winter can throw at it. With the plumber and furnace guys already taken care of, I can now turn my attention to inspecting my windows for any breaks in the seals, closing the storm windows as well as calling a contractor to check out the roof before it ices.
I spent the day talking to the house inspector and in turn he looked through a book he had and found the phone number for a guy who does ac repair in morris county nj. The way it looks to Beth and I, we probably have to hear something we like when we talk to him after he looks this air conditioning system over. Of course the sense I get is that if you do not replace it now, then you still have to do it in a few years. Still it is possible that he comes back and tells you that they can stick a band aid on it and it will do for a good bit of time. It does not seem likely. We really do not need to hear what he has to say about the cost to put in a whole new system. That is going to cost a good bit more than we are going to be able to pay for at this point in time.
Of course it would probably save you money over time to get a new system. The new ones work a lot more efficiently and they thus use a lot less electric power and cost you a lot less to operate over the course of time. That is great, but we just can not afford the cost of a new system on top of the cost of the house. To start with this house is a bit nicer than we expected that we would be able to afford and it is right at the edge of our ability to pay to start with. If we did get it that would exhaust all of our reserves and put us in a pretty vulnerable place to be honest. You have to have some money for emergencies.Click The Link
I need to find a new place to live in the near future, because I am getting evicted by my long time boyfriend. I can't believe that things have actually come to this. He has threatened me before in the past, but I did not take him very seriously. I guess that I was wrong to not take him seriously this time, because he is going to go through with it. I have been looking into this one apartment complex, its URL is: http://www.brookhighlandplace.com and it looks pretty nice. More than that, it might actually be within my price range, which is great. I did not think it would be in my price range when I first saw it, because it looks pretty nice, and apparently, it even has a coffee bar. That sounds fancy to me, and it is more than I am used to, to say the least.
Anyway, I should have enough money to pay a security deposit, and pay for the first month of rent for the place. If I have to pay the last month of rent up front as well, then I might be in a little bit of trouble. Hopefully, that won't be the case, but if it is, then I suppose that I could try to borrow some money from my mother. I don't want to do that, but it is nice to know that she would be there for me, if I needed her to be.
I need to find a place to move into within the next couple of weeks, so hopefully this place will have some vacancies that are open right now. I guess that there is one way to figure that out, and that is to just call them up, and find out. So, I will probably do just that here in a couple of minutes.Click The Link
I don't know how it happened, but my air conditioning quit working recently. It is concerning, and I wonder how extensive the problem is. I have only used the air conditioning a couple of times this year, and I guess it didn't seem to be working quite right then. However, at the moment, it is not working at all. I am in need of air conditioning repair in morris county nj and I would like to find a company that will send someone over to my house on a rather prompt basis, so that the repairs can start immediately.
I guess that it could possibly be fixed by the end of the day, if there is not much that needs to be done. I really hope that it is not going to be an extensive repair job, or anything that would require that the entire air conditioning system be replaced. One theory I have for the reason that it has stopped working, is that it is out of coolant. I do not know how that would happen, and I guess it doesn't do me a whole lot of good to worry about it.
One of the reasons why I would prefer to have the air conditioning fixed promptly, is that my mother lives with me, and she is not very tolerant of the heat, due to her age. I know that she is already unhappy with having to endure the heat today, without the comfort of air conditioning. She actually went to the library for a couple of hours, just to be able to enjoy air conditioning. I feel bad for her, and I want to make sure that this problem is remedied swiftly. Of course, I do not enjoy living without air conditioning either, and I want to get it fixed for my own sake as well.Click The Link
Over time, insurance companies as a whole have earned a bad reputation. Customers get fed up when they spend money for a plan but are then left out to dry when they need to use it, which should come as no surprise. However, this is not how insurance is meant to work and when customers are able to find the right plan, with the right company, the results are usually much more pleasant. Of course that leaves the obvious question, how do you find the right company? Well grapevine tx insurance is easier than ever to find thanks to this great web tool, as it is now possible to sift through all of the options and find the perfect solution for home insurance.
The research starts with choosing coverage, obviously, as this is the whole reason for buying insurance in the first place. As simple as that may sound, it is complicated by the fact that your home's location makes a difference on what type of features are necessary. Certain areas are more prone to different types of problems, so some choices may be obvious while others are harder to make. The ultimate balance comes down to deciding between extensive coverage and lower premiums, so budget and future expectations are crucial for the decision.
Of course if you are worried about being able to afford premiums while still getting enough coverage, there are discounts available for qualified customers. The discounts come in various forms for different qualifications, mostly based around reducing risks for problems. The main form for these discounts come from features such as installing smoke detectors, sprinkler systems, alarm systems, or other related devices. Another type of discount involves the location and construction of the house, as newer homes are generally considered more weather-tolerant and areas of high crime are more likely to see burglaries. In the end, the number of factors that can impact quotes for premiums is quite long, so investigate all options before making any decisions.Click The Link
After the economy took a turn for the worse I found myself hurting for a job in the worst possible way. With about ten thousand dollars stacked against me in debt thanks to some student loans which clearly had not help me find a job with any sustainability, I found myself instead looking toward www.starnightlimousine.ca for help. I had driving a limousine before but the calling of a taxi company had drawn me instead: good tips and constant work was always available whereas I felt that I might not have been able to always find work driving a limousine. With my savings account dwindling away I was becoming more and more desperate to work so I turned toward the limousine service provider for help. I cannot express how thankful that I am to be able to get the job - so far, it is almost exactly as I expected it to be.
The only aspect of the job that I have found challenging was the test that I had to take in order to qualify to drive one of those beasts. It didn't take me long to get into the ebb and flow of things; I found the act of driving a limousine to be almost calming and I absolutely love getting up in the morning knowing that I am going to be looking fantastic in a suit. That was the one large investment that I had to make - a suit. If you ever consider driving a limousine yourself, I highly encourage to picking up a suit. A suit makes a man and a man that looks good driving a limousine is going to certainly be making higher tips. On top of my wage, I make some fantastic tips - better than I ever did when I was serving at a diner!
I am looking for a new job, and I hope to find something that suits me well. I have previously found work as a maid, and that seems like it would be a good option for me again. I have not had many other jobs in my past, other than odd jobs. I guess that I should try to find an employment agency for such jobs. I have heard of frondosa city maid and employment agency and it might be the best option for me, so I will have to give them a call, to find out more information.
I do not really desire to be a maid, because it is definitely hard work, and there is a lot that is expected of you. However, it is not like I have a lot of skills, and I do not have much of an education either. As such, I do not know what other jobs that I would be qualified for. Further, I do not even know if I would like other jobs, or if they would be a better type of work than what is involved in being a maid. As such, I would probably be best off just trying to get a job doing the same stuff.
As long as I get a pay check on a regular basis, I am not going to complain very much, and that is because I need the money. I have to find a new place to live in the near future, but I will need to start to get an income, before I can start that search. I am living with a friend for the moment, but I really want to avoid wearing out my welcome, and staying too long. I hope I get a job soon, because I have been out of work for months.Click The Link
There is all kinds of cheating that a good private investigator can discover. I hired a private detective agency to find a cheater in my life. No, not the cheating spouse kind of cheater, but a business associate involved in corporate espionage. When I finally got enough evidence to fuel my suspicions, I went to www.acedetective.sg to see if they could help me.
This was a situation that had criminal ramifications as well as civil. However, it was not a violent crime. I was concerned about just calling the police to report suspicions. They are not there to run my business for me. However, I do know that they would be there if there was proof of a crime. Stealing company secrets and sharing them with the competition is theft. It equals money. It can equal millions of dollars for a growing company.
You would not expect any of your principals in your new company to be thieves, but it certainly does happen. The temptation is always money. The motivation is usually money, but sometimes it is revenge. For me it was an officer in the corporation who was high on the board of directors. He had access to proprietary information in our long term research and development department, and it turned out he was selling information to overseas competitors who make inferior products.
Most of those copycat companies make a product similar to ones already on the market, but not so similar it violates patents or anything like that. However, if they could get to market at the same time or shortly after a product release of ours, it could cause millions in lost revenue. When three products had very similar products released at the same time as us, I knew it was not a coincidence. It took a savvy private investigation team to uncover how it was being done and how far it had gone.
I was tired of paying a lot of money to four different bills. I was paying one bill for the internet service, one to the TV service, one for the house phone, and one for the cell phone. It all seemed like it was too much time and money to do so and then I heard that cheap internet bundles were available for purchase online. I was really hopeful to hear that I could go online and look at different bundles that would make me only have to pay one bill. I was so happy to see that there were a lot of options as far as my phone plan went. I do not use my house phone but wanted to be able to keep it because if there was an emergency, it would be a lot better to keep the emergency number easily accessible from a land line instead of from a cell phone.
There was a great online wizard that I could go through that would tell me what my best bundle would be instead of having me guessing what would be the best. There were a lot of different questions that I had to answer about the use of the phone and TV services in my house and with my cell phone and then they told me what would be best for me as far as a package deal. I was so happy to see the price and I knew that it was going to be best for me and the house. My husband was really glad that we only had to pay one bill every month for our services and I could not believe how lucky we were to have all of those things that were really going to be great for us and our needs.Click The Link

U.S. oil production, including crude oil and lease condensate, has grown steadily since 2008, a change from the two decades of declines before 2008. This growth has been driven mainly by increased production from various tight (very low permeability) formations. (Permeability measures how well liquids and gases can flow through open spaces in rocks.) Horizontal drilling combined with hydraulic fracturing have allowed exploration and production (E&P) companies to access commercial volumes of oil from rock formations that are less permeable than those found in conventional formations. The U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) expects that development of tight formations will lead to continuing significant increases in U.S. oil production in the coming years.
Three key basins with tight formations have been the largest contributors to U.S. oil production growth: the Permian Basin in West Texas and southeastern New Mexico; the Western Gulf Basin in southern Texas, which includes the Eagle Ford shale; and the Williston Basin, which extends over parts of North Dakota, South Dakota, and Montana and which includes the Bakken formation (Figure 1).
Since January 2009, North Dakota's crude oil production has more than tripled from an average of less than 190,000 barrels per day (bbl/d) to nearly 675,000 bbl/d in July 2012, based on North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources statistics (Figure 2). This growth makes North Dakota the second largest oil producing state, behind Texas and ahead of both Alaska and California. The Bakken tight oil formation has accounted for nearly all of the new production in North Dakota. EIA forecasts total Williston Basin production, including North Dakota and Montana, will approach 1.1 million bbl/d by January 2014.
Texas oil production has increased about 770,000 bbl/d since January 2009, and in June 2012 averaged 1.9 million bbl/d. Texas has seen the largest volumetric increase of any state. The Permian Basin, which was already producing significant quantities of conventional oil, has experienced increases in oil production from both conventional and shale plays. EIA forecasts Western Gulf Basin production to rise to almost 930,000 bbl/d and Permian Basin production to reach 1.55 million bbl/d by January 2014.
The shift of the U.S. drilling rig fleet away from dry natural gas to oil and wet natural gas suggests that the production of oil and other liquids will continue to climb. E&P companies are making significant capital investments in horizontal drilling rigs and deploying them to tight oil plays. Many existing rigs with horizontal-drilling capabilities are being redeployed from plays rich in dry natural gas to those that can produce crude oil and other liquids that have a significantly greater value under current market conditions. The total number of rigs drilling for oil increased 76 percent from an average of 801 in February 2011 to an average of 1,409 in September 2012, based on detailed weekly active rig count data provided by Baker Hughes Incorporated. The number of rigs drilling horizontal wells has grown even more rapidly, increasing from 362 to 823, over the same period. September 2012 data show that a weekly average of 58 percent of the entire U.S. onshore rig fleet was drilling horizontal wells, compared to 45 percent in February 2011. Because horizontal drilling is often associated with tight formations, it is apparent that an increasing number of producers are targeting tight geology.

U.S. national road champion George Hincapie delivered the BMC Racing Team a runner-up finish on the final stage of the Amgen Tour of California Sunday while teammate Steve Morabito placed 12th overall.
Breakaway Of Seven
Hincapie was among seven riders who escaped the field on the second of four trips up the difficult Rock Store climb during the 134 km race. "This stage was brutal," Hincapie said. "I knew the race was going to be hard. I did everything right. I just didn't have the legs today." Hincapie was beaten in the sprint by Ryder Hesjedal (Garmin-Transitions) as Michael Rogers (HTC-Columbia) won overall. Morabito and Hincapie were two of only 63 finishers (of 128 starters), the lowest in the race's five-year history.

Colorado tick fever is an infection that is spread to humans by the bite of an infected tick.
Colorado tick fever is caused by the Colorado tick fever virus. Humans can get the virus through the bite of an infected tick. The Rocky Mountain wood tick is the main carrier of the Colorado tick virus in the United States (US). This tick can be found in the western US states (not just in Colorado). It can be found in areas above 5,000 feet in elevation.
The virus is also carried by other small mammals, including ground squirrels, porcupines, and chipmunks. There have been reports of rare cases of Colorado tick fever caused by exposure in a laboratory setting and a blood transfusion.
Colorado tick fever is transmitted through the bite of an infected tick.

Risk factors include:
If you have any of these symptoms, do not assume it is caused by Colorado tick fever. These symptoms may be caused by other, less serious health conditions. Symptoms usually appear 4-5 days after a tick bite occurs and may last for three weeks:
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Tests may include the following:
There is no specific treatment for Colorado tick fever. Complications are extremely rare and include aseptic meningitis, encephalitis, and hemorrhagic fever. The fever and pain may be treated with acetaminophen (such as Tylenol) and other pain relief medications. It is important to stay hydrated by drinking enough fluids. After a person gets Colorado tick fever, it is believed that he or she will have immunity against re-infection.
To help reduce your chances of getting Colorado tick fever, take the following steps to limit your exposure to ticks:

Life support for print materials

While many/most libraries are decreasing the number of print materials they maintain, news reports indicate that the current economic woes are leading many users back to libraries to borrow books rather than buying books online. Another effect of the financial crises … Continue reading →

Blunt NC political memo gives GOP an opening
RALEIGH (AP) — To politicos, the most intriguing document coming out of Raleigh this year hasn't been Republican Gov. Pat McCrory's first State of the State address or a tax reform proposal some in the GOP-led General Assembly like.
Rather, it was a document written for liberal-leaning groups brainstorming how to fight back against McCrory and legislative leaders during the next two years, stop their policies and sway public opinion. The result ultimately would get their allies — the Democrats — back into power.
Such strategy memos aren't unusual in political circles, with consultants on both sides of the aisle routinely evaluating a politician or party's strengths and weaknesses. But the language in the draft memo, obtained by reporters recently and later attributed to the state affiliate of a national political nonprofit group called America Votes, surprised many for its bluntness.
The document suggested mitigating Republican legislation most effectively by weakening "our opponents' ability to govern by crippling their leaders," naming McCrory, House Speaker Thom Tillis and Senate leader Phil Berger, in part through research, organizing and capitalizing on GOP political tensions.
Progressives, according to the draft memo also obtained by The Associated Press, should seek to "eviscerate the leadership." The memo also said "McCrory is extremely thin-skinned," opposition groups should consider taking video to "follow the targets' every move" and even hire private investigators, presumably to uncover dirt.
The document's author, Jessica Laurenz, said her group has no plans to hire private eyes, but she defended her group's right to fight against conservative policies. The organization also falls under a portion of the Internal Revenue Code that allows it to participate directly in political races.
"Many people strongly disagree with Gov. McCrory's vision for the state of North Carolina and will aggressively fight it," Laurenz wrote in an email. "That's why I drafted the memo and I stand by it."
The memo's disclosure couldn't have come at a better time for GOP leaders and McCrory, who had been taking hits for weeks from similar liberal groups and Democratic lawmakers. The opposition had been criticizing Republicans for passing bills that would cut future unemployment benefits and decline to expand Medicaid to more people, accusing them of not caring about the poor.
The memo helped McCrory and legislative Republicans change the narrative — to one of liberal groups conspiring to attack elected leaders personally instead of coming to the table to fix the state's problems together.
"It provided for a soft landing for the Republicans," said Brad Crone, a longtime Democratic political consultant. McCrory complained during the 2012 campaign that opponents were attacking him personally. Now he was able to say he had more proof.
"I'm not going to let a few foolish, and I think irresponsible political organizations impact the way I govern," McCrory said at a news conference last week. "When you have independent groups that are talking about hiring private investigators, who are talking about eviscerating people — that makes it very difficult for me to convince young people to get involved in public service."
The memo's contents threaten to have longer effects upon those deemed guilty by association with the memo.
America Votes lists on its website more than a dozen groups considered members of the group's North Carolina coalition — unions, a trial lawyers' group and abortion-rights activists among them — that work to elect "progressive candidates."
Laurenz said the draft memo was presented in December at a meeting with Blueprint NC, an umbrella group for many public policy groups that also lobby the General Assembly. The head of Blueprint NC has told other media outlets it had nothing to do with the memo, which Laurenz said wasn't endorsed at the meeting.
Some Republicans say what little trust they had with many liberal-leaning groups when they try to persuade them on legislation is now gone because of the memo. "To me they lost all credibility," said Sen. Andrew Brock, R-Davie.
Democrats and some of the member groups for America Votes have tried to distance themselves from the memo. Several organizations that form the North Carolina coalition of America Votes didn't respond to emails or declined to comment about the memo.
Brian Lewis, a lobbyist for the North Carolina Association of Educators — a coalition member — said the state's largest teacher lobbying group doesn't want to be a "part of anything that tears anyone down." Historically, the NCAE's political arm has leaned Democratic but has been trying to work with Republicans after a rocky start with GOP legislators in 2011.
"What we're about is actually engaging people on ideas," state Democratic Party Chairman Randy Voller said. "That's why you're not going to hear me make personal attacks."
Crone, the Democratic consultant, said it was a mistake for America Votes to be so frank in writing. He recalled 30 years ago when an adviser to then-Gov. Jim Hunt told the governor in writing to "welcome a good disaster" in his final year in office as a way to reduce his political vulnerabilities. The document got statewide attention.
"Never put down on paper what you don't want to see in a headline in the state papers," Crone said.

Many women dream of having it all, but some find that it's just not in the cards. That being said, sometimes when women lawyers get married and decide to start having children, they leave the law — but the law never leaves them. They'll always hang on to that knowledge for safekeeping if the need ever arises.
Today, we've got a story out of California about how a former lawyer used her knowledge of the law to keep milking alimony and child support payments out of her ex-husband. She certainly figured out how to "have it all."
Here's a lesson for all of the men out there: just because your ex-wife wore a wedding dress does not mean she's remarried in the eyes of the law….

If you're a fan of chocolate you how easy it can be to "over" indulge. While chocolate certainly has many health benefits, most of those come from eating it in moderation. The down side to chocolate is that it's generally high in fat and sugar – making it easy to pack on a couple of extra pounds. Fortunately for us though, one doesn't necessarily have to cut back on their chocolate consumption (although you probably should) to keep the weight off. There are now many different weight loss supplements available to aid you in the process of losing weight or simply just keeping it off. One of the most popular, and likely one of the strongest, is a product called Synedrex. This supplement is most effective at increase your metabolism and energy level, while providing a overall sense of focus and clarity. Synedrex also works by suppressing your appetite. The general rule it to burn more calories then you intake, so if you're consuming less and burning more, you can see what makes this product effective. The only caution I'd warn is for those sensitive to stimulants – products like Synedrex are packed full of stims, so for some they can make your uneasy and anxious. If you're going to try this product be sure to take it early and avoid any other forms of stimulants. Fortunately, there's not a ton of caffeine in chocolate! If you're sensitive to stimulants a good product without the stims is Phenolox. It's made by the same company and is also very effective, just without the stimulants. Instead Phenolox uses B vitamins.
How to Setup Your Desert Display
A catering buffet is never complete without delicious desserts, including chocolates and truffles. Truffles and chocolates are smooth and velvety treats that come in a wide range of flavors. You can amaze your guests with an elegantly displayed table containing their favorite chocolates and truffles. Whether you're concerned about table skirting, linens or bouquets on the table, it is important to be flexible and creative. You need to try different options for displaying a wide range of confectionery treats.
Fresh Linens
It is very important to consider the color of chocolates and truffles while choosing buffet linens and table skirting clips. You need to choose colors that complement the color of chocolates, and entice your guests with the deliciousness of these dessert choices.
When it comes to table linens, the most popular choices include polyester, vinyl and cotton. You need to choose something that can be easily washed. However, it should look elegant. Black linens can prove to be a good choice. On dark colors, food stains are not easily visible.
Buffet Organization
As a general rule, the dessert table needs to be at the end of your buffet. When your guests arrive at the table, you need to focus on the amazement factor. The food and chocolate displays at the event should be exceptional works of art. They should be able to represent the tastes people are going to enjoy.
When it comes to chocolate displays, luxury and elegance are always the key. Since dessert tends to be the last course, you need to be sure that the guests leave the event ahing' and oohing' over the chocolates and truffles.
Display stands can be easily used to create different levels on the table. This leads to more visual variety. You should try to create about four different levels, and stagger them from the front to back on your table.
Table skirting should also be used wisely. This will help you create a stair step visual. You will also be able to create random levels to add more interest. In case you don't have access to the display stands, you can use different sized boxes. This can help you create different levels. You should cover them with tablecloths.
Keep It Clean and Organized
It's very important to keep your dessert table clean and organized. A common mistake most people make is to overload the display with a lot of chocolates, decor and levels. It's always better to keep things simple. You need to understand that subtlety will be your key to success. If you aren't careful, it can be easily to cross the line from being classy and elegant to cheesy and cheap. In order to keep things organized, you can also use table skirting clips.
Last but not the least, you can use a wide range of materials to accentuate the buffet. Some good choices include flowers, balloons, small figurines, ribbons and more. Candle can also be an excellent choice. You should put labels on different containers of chocolates to let your guests know what they're choosing.
The Benefits of Chocolate
Does everyone call you a chocoholic? Well, scientific studies have proved that your little addiction can actually save your life. A recent study has reported that consuming good amount of chocolate on regular basis can reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by 37% and strokes by 29%.
Even though experts often advise to eat chocolates in moderation due to high calorie content, it's hard to deny that chocolates can be a healthy addition to your daily diet. Hundreds of studies have already proved that dark chocolate is a good source of antioxidants that prevent cardiovascular conditions and promote heart health. In this article, we'll share some common benefits of chocolate that will definitely have you grab that bar in the refrigerator as soon as you are done with reading.
1. It Can Help You Improve Math Skills
Flavonoids, a compound found in chocolate are rich source of antioxidants. Flavonoids are known to improve blood circulation to the brain. A study conducted in 2009 asked group of participants to count backward from a number between 700 and 899. After drinking a cup of hot cocoa, the participants were able to do mental calculations more accurately and quickly without feeling tired.
2. It Fills You Up
Moms have had always warned about spoiling dinner by eating tempting treats beforehand. Guess, they were right! In recent study, Danish researchers gave 100 g of chocolates to 16 participants, followed by a slice of pizza after a gap of 2 hours. Those who consumed dark chocolate ate about 15% fewer calories than the one who did not have any chocolate. In short, people who are chocolate were less interested to eat more.
3. It Can Make You Feel Better
Chocolates contain phenethylamine – a compound that triggers the production of endorphins. This creates same reaction as the one that people experience when they feel loved or fall in love. Doctors in England at the Mind Lab asked eight couples to eat one square of dark chocolate before kissing each other. All the couples were hooked up to heart and brain monitors. In the result, it was seen that both tasks made participants' brains buzz and hearts pound, but chocolate doubled the rate of excitation in the brain's pleasure center, especially in women. Cocoa's blend of caffeine and sugar produces long-lasting high.
4. It Can Help You Relax
Why not reach for a temptation when feeling stressed? There's a biological reason attached to the fact that chocolates are a great stress busters. Studies have shown that chocolates contain a compound – Anandamide. This compound activates the brain receptors that are responsible for stress.
5. It Can Help You Live Longer
A study conducted in the British Medical Journal reported that chocolate consumption can help you live longer by almost a full year! Participants who liked indulging in chocolate andy one to three times a month had low mortality rate than the ones that refrain from eating sweet stuff at all. This is due to high antioxidant properties. A study in 2009 also found that heart attack patients who ate chocolate were less likely to die from strokes than those who went without it. It is beneficial to stick to an ounce serving to get the fix without affecting your waistline.
Cooking with Chocolate
Almost every person loves the sweet, delicious taste of chocolate. While eating chocolates is convenient, it is even possible to cook with chocolate. Most people don't have any idea about some delicious recipes that can be easily prepared with chocolates.
If you have been planning to cook with chocolate, buying chef coats or chef uniforms will be important. Melting chocolate can make your clothes dirty, and it may be hard to get rid off the stains. Besides this, there are also some other important factors to consider. Here is an overview of some important ones.
It is important to purchase chocolate from a good source. The seller should have a good turnover. This makes sure the chocolate you're buying hasn't been stored improperly or too long. In order to choose the best type of chocolate, you should sample some varieties.
These days, you can choose from many different options. Your choice will mostly depend on your taste. If you don't like any brands in the sampling stage, you shouldn't use them for cooking. It's worth mentioning that the basic taste won't change in your recipe.
Prior to cooking, chocolate should be tightly wrapped in a dry, cool place. It should be able away from possible temperature changes and strong odors. You should never store chocolates in the freezer or refrigerator. In these places, it can easily collect moisture. This can affect the taste of the chocolate.
Before cooking, you will have to melt the chocolate. In order to evenly melt the chocolate, you should chop it into equal sized, small pieces. Warm these pieces over simmering water. This should be done in a double boiler. You can even use a microwave safe bowl to melt the chocolate at the lowest power setting for 30 seconds. Between each burst, you should stir the molten chocolate properly.
It's important to understand that even a single drop of water in chocolate can turn it into a major gloppy mess. Therefore, when you're melting chocolate, you should keep all the utensils and bowls completely dry. This will allow you to melt the chocolate without experiencing any problems.
Quality Control
It's quite obvious that you need to use high quality chocolate. It will not only prevent any health problems, but also make the recipe more delicious. When it comes to the quality control for chocolates, most people feel confused.
High quality chocolate always has an even looking appearance. Moreover, it has a sharp snap when you crumble it. Needless to say, it has a strong chocolaty aroma and velvety texture. The delicious aftertaste of chocolate lingers for more than 30 seconds. All these things should be considered while buying chocolates for cooking delicious recipes.
While using chocolate for cooking, it's always better to buy high quality chef coats of chef uniforms. Coats and uniforms not only make you look professional, but even protect your clothes from stains. These days, you can easily buy chef coats and uniforms on the Internet. You just need to make sure you buy them from a reputed dealer. You should also look for discounts.

I can't believe I am finally sitting down to write a blog post after such a long break! Time passes quickly in my world and my schedule has been filled with plenty of activity. While I am incredibly excited for the fall season, the weather in Portland still boasts plenty of sunshine and high temperatures so Tim and I are taking full advantage during the dwindling days if summer. Here is a peek at the highlights:We visited our friends in Seattle a few weeks ago and enjoyed brunch at Cafe Flora. I had a plate with potatoes, toast & jam, tofu scramble, and homemade soy sausage. It was delicious, especially the scramble. Tim had a tofu sandwich that came with salad. He didn't care for it, but it sure looked pretty:After we left Seattle, we wandered around Nisqually National Wildlife Refuge. It's so much fun to explore places like this because if you are patient and quiet, all sorts of creatures make their presence known with a chorus of sounds. We even saw jellyfish floating in the southern end of the Puget Sound! Overall, it's a very peaceful place to visit.When we returned from Seattle, we decided it was time to take a backpacking trip. It had been awhile and we knew September meant less crowds and less bugs. We opted for a two night loop hike in the Deschutes National Forest. We crossed paths with very few people and had our campsites all to ourselves. Plus, both campsites were next to chilly mountain lakes which we happily dove into after hiking all day in the sunshine.Campsite on night number two looked toward this view:
And then, before we knew it, my parents were in town for a visit. My mom had never been to the Pacific Northwest before so she really enjoyed all the scenery and places we took her.
We took my mom to see Mt. Hood! It was a gorgeous day despite the haze from nearby wildfires. We also took her and my dad to Portobello for dinner. I opted for the portobello burger, garlicky fries, and a homemade peach and rosemary soda. Don't you just love how my meal was served? Everything was amazing, especially the fries. Oh my goodness, those fries were the best!We took my parents to the coast too. It was windy and a good 30 degress cooler than the city but still worth the trip. They both dipped their feet in the icy Pacific Ocean. I knew better.After my parents left, I accepted a job offer with one of the coolest vegan companies in Portland. I am now happily employed after many months of miscellaneous freelance stints here and there. It's a quick bike ride from home and I am sandwiched between Food Fight Grocery and Sweetpea Bakery. This has already proven dangerous because yesterday I snuck over to Food Fight for chocolate caramel cups, ginger iced tea, and a curried tofu sandwich. It's perfect because I work part-time and can still enjoy outdoor adventure activities while the weather permits. Come visit me if you are ever in Portland!!
This past Friday Tim and I went hiking on the southern slopes of Mt. Saint Helens. A good portion of the trail involved boulder hopping, but snacking on an abundance of wild huckleberries and views such as the one below made up for it, just a bit.And finally, this weekend is Portland's 2012 VegFest! I will be selling/sampling treats from Nicobella Organics (chocolate truffles!). Stop by and say hello and I might let you have a sample!
Enjoy the week ahead!

The Sabres announced today that they have signed defenceman Andrej Sekera and forward Matt Ellis to multi year deals. Sekera was set to go to arbitration next week but couldn't turn down the Sabres offer. He set career highs last year in points and assists (29-26) after only playing in 76 games. Sekera has been streaky at times but last year really stood out as one of the teams top defenceman. With the additions of Robyn Regehr and Christian Ehrhoff on the back end, the Sabres now have a solid defensive core. Forward Matt Ellis signed a two year, two way contract today. He played 52 game last season in Portland and served as the teams captain. Ellis will most likely spend the season in Rochester and again serve as captain. With these two signed the Sabres now have to get Jhonas Enroth and Marc Andre Gragnani signed to make the roster for the 2011-2012 season complete.
Darcy Regier said today that Jason Pominville is healing nicely and should be ready for training camp come September.
After a long wait Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning have agreed on a 5 year 37.5 million dollar contract. He will be a UFA in 5 years when he is 26 years old. I can only imagine what kind of pay day he will get July 1, 2016.

I made the onion citrus salad only with grapefruit instead of blood oranges. It was good, though those barbie onions(Cioppellini) were tough to deal with it, from skinning them to chopping them up.
Next time, I will forego the whole raw baby oinion think and lightly saute some shallots. I am the biggest fan of raw onion.
French onion soup, definitely. I'm thinking about making some oniony enchiladas soon, either with caramelized or just with lots of chopped onion inside.
I have a nice recipe for this onion salad, from a tapas recipe book I got a few years ago. It's really simple, just sliced white onions with some black olives, parsley and olive oil. But it's fantastic in the way you cook the onions to take the bite out of them, while leaving them a bit firm and crunchy.
i kind of have to do this -
for the whole of 2010 i am hosting a can jam for a very large group of food bloggers. each month we can a specific fruit or veggie and this month it was alliums. there are over 80 recipes of canned onions, shallots, garlic and the like:
Ah, man. That salad looks delish. I wish I wasn't so intolerant of onions.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that typically affects the small joints in your hands and feet. Unlike the wear-and-tear damage of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis affects the lining of your joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually result in bone erosion and joint deformity.
An autoimmune disorder, rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system mistakenly attacks your own body's tissues. In addition to causing joint problems, rheumatoid arthritis sometimes can affect other organs of the body — such as the skin, eyes, lungs and blood vessels.
Although rheumatoid arthritis can occur at any age, it usually begins after age 40. The disorder is much more common in women than in men. Treatment focuses on controlling symptoms and preventing joint damage.
Signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis may include:
Early rheumatoid arthritis tends to affect your smaller joints first — particularly the joints that attach your fingers to your hands and your toes to your feet. As the disease progresses, symptoms often spread to the knees, ankles, elbows, hips and shoulders. In most cases, symptoms occur in the same joints on both sides of your body.
Rheumatoid arthritis signs and symptoms may vary in severity and may even come and go. Periods of increased disease activity, called flares, alternate with periods of relative remission — when the swelling and pain fade or disappear. Over time, rheumatoid arthritis can cause joints to deform and shift out of place.
Make an appointment with your doctor if you have persistent discomfort and swelling in your joints.
Rheumatoid arthritis occurs when your immune system attacks the synovium — the lining of the membranes that surround your joints. The resulting inflammation thickens the synovium, which can eventually destroy the cartilage and bone within the joint. The tendons and ligaments that hold the joint together weaken and stretch. Gradually, the joint loses its shape and alignment.
Doctors don't know what starts this process, although a genetic component appears likely. While your genes don't actually cause rheumatoid arthritis, they can make you more susceptible to environmental factors — such as infection with certain viruses and bacteria — that may trigger the disease.
Factors that may increase your risk of rheumatoid arthritis include:
Rheumatoid arthritis increases your risk of developing:
While you might first discuss your symptoms with your family doctor, he or she may refer you to a rheumatologist — a doctor who specializes in the treatment of arthritis and other inflammatory conditions — for further evaluation.
Write a list that includes:
Your doctor may ask some of the following questions:
Rheumatoid arthritis can be difficult to diagnose in its early stages because the early signs and symptoms mimic those of many other diseases. There is no one blood test or physical finding to confirm the diagnosis.
During the physical exam, your doctor will check your joints for swelling, redness and warmth. He or she will also check your reflexes and muscle strength.
People with rheumatoid arthritis tend to have an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR, or sed rate), which indicates the presence of an inflammatory process in the body. Other common blood tests look for rheumatoid factor and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) antibodies.
Your doctor may recommend X-rays to help track the progression of rheumatoid arthritis in your joints over time.
There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis. Medications can reduce inflammation in your joints in order to relieve pain and prevent or slow joint damage. Occupational and physical therapy can teach you how to protect your joints. If your joints are severely damaged by rheumatoid arthritis, surgery may be necessary.
Many drugs used to treat rheumatoid arthritis have potentially serious side effects. Doctors typically prescribe medications with the fewest side effects first. You may need stronger drugs or a combination of drugs as your disease progresses.
Your doctor may send you to a therapist who can teach you exercises to help keep your joints flexible. The therapist may also suggest new ways to do daily tasks, which will be easier on your joints. For example, if your fingers are sore, you may want to pick up an object using your forearms.
Assistive devices can make it easier to avoid stressing your painful joints. For instance, a kitchen knife equipped with a saw handle helps protect your finger and wrist joints. Tools such as buttonhooks can make it easier to get dressed. Catalogs and medical supply stores are good places to look for ideas.
If medications fail to prevent or slow joint damage, you and your doctor may consider surgery to repair damaged joints. Surgery may help restore your ability to use your joint. It can also reduce pain and correct deformities. Rheumatoid arthritis surgery may involve one or more of the following procedures:
Surgery carries a risk of bleeding, infection and pain. Discuss the benefits and risks with your doctor.
You can take steps to care for your body if you have rheumatoid arthritis. These self-care measures, when used along with your rheumatoid arthritis medications, can help you manage your signs and symptoms:
Some common complementary and alternative treatments that have shown promise for rheumatoid arthritis include:
The degree to which rheumatoid arthritis affects your daily activities depends in part on how well you cope with the disease. Talk to your doctor or nurse about strategies for coping. With time you'll find what strategies work best for you. In the meantime, try to:
