WESTPORT, Aug 28 (Reuters Health) - Children of women with colorectal carcinoma have increased risk of some cancers, suggesting that genetics may play a role, according to Swedish researchers.
Dr. Maria Planck, of Lund University Hospital, and colleagues identified 24,639 Swedish women diagnosed with colon or rectal cancer between 1958 and 1993. These women had a total of 47,811 children who were born between 1941 and 1993 and were followed for the incidence of 32 cancer types between 1961 and 1993.
As the investigators report in the August 15th issue of Cancer, the children had 1057 tumors compared with the expected national Swedish incidence of 988. They had increased risks of developing colon cancer, rectal cancer and, in males, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The risk of colon or rectal cancer was highest for children whose mothers were younger than 50 years of age at diagnosis or developed metachronous colorectal cancer.
Children of women with colon cancer had an increased risk of both colon and rectal cancer, while children of women with rectal cancer had an increased risk of developing rectal cancer but not colon cancer.
Among children of women with colon cancer, the risk of cervical cancer, oral cancer, and, in females, Hodgkin's disease was lower than expected, and among children of women with rectal cancer, the risk of stomach cancer was lower than expected. Overall, however, the research team determined that the children's risk of developing cancer before the age of 50 years was 3.0 times that of the general population.
"This report shows a significant familial aggregation of colorectal carcinoma, demonstrates possible differences in hereditary pattern between colon carcinoma and rectal carcinoma, and confirms that younger age at the time of diagnosis or the occurrence of metachronous tumors indicate familial carcinoma," Dr. Planck and colleagues conclude.

Total Performance Rating
The TPR graph is a combination of all our benchmarks in which NVIDIA and AMD are on an even playing field.
The TPR number is a combination of:
3DMark 11, Heaven Benchmark V2, Resident Evil 5, Tom Clancy's H.A.W.X.2, Mafia 2 (PhysX Off), Lost Planet 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV, Far Cry 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum (PhysX Off) and our four High Quality tests which include Mafia 2, Aliens vs. Predator, Street Fighter IV and Far Cry 2.
All of the benchmark results achieved are then combined into a single number. As this graph will grow over time and cards won't be re-tested, next to each model you'll find the driver version that was used when the card was benchmarked.
Overall that overclock really gives us a nice boost in our score with our TPR graph sitting on the edge of almost 30,000 here.

Thouhgts on Aftershows
My wife and I had the good fortune to be able to attend the third Chicago show as well as the aftershow at HOB. I have attended maybe about 4 or 5 aftershows and have heard and or seen on CD/VHS/DVD other aftershows and several weeks after the excitment of the Chicago aftershow I was thinking of weather or not a lot of these shows generate more excitment about being "in the know" about the show, or maybe seeing him in an intimate setting and posible so close and less about what kind or performance or experience the whole thing is. And I say that based on a few reasons and I am not bashing at all. I am very greatful that I am a fan of a musician who has the ability to do a full arena concert and then the chops to do another club performance but here is some of the things I have found that I walk away feeling, good and bad
- Usually stuck standing, squeezed in like sardines, left standing for a crazy amount of time, barely able to breath and with my back killing me
- The experience of him coming out and then playing nothing but a bunch of covers
- Giving giving the stage away for wayyy too long to others. Rememebr the days of the Steeles, Mavis Staples, etc. And for me in Chi town it was a wayy too long version of Shelby singing Brownnnnnn Skin. Then he abruptly left without a word and we were left with another too long performance by Janelle Monae.
- Now I do have copies of aftershows that are the F-ing bomb. But for me, those are shows where he actually sings Prince songs that are maybe a bit obscure for the casual fan but for you and me it would be huge to hear, I don't know, Lady Can Driver, Automatic, Play in the Sunshine, whatever. Things that we all know but have either never or have not heard live for a long time.
So yes, Prince, I thank you and/or God for your musical gifts and sharing them with us, your great showmanship and it has kept me very entertained for 30 years but I am just amazed and maybe perplexed by some of the huge swings as well as hassles regarding aftershows. Again, no bashing, just curious if anyone else has had similar feelings or maybe I am just getting too old to have to stand in over crowded, loud cramped clubs standing in one place for 2 hours while he pisses around getting ready to play and then shows up and does like Chi town and basically plays the medley from the NAACP award show, where I only knew Housequake, The Jam and Satisfied. So three songs for about $175.00 in tickets for the two of us. Maybe I should just be 'satisfied" with getting to see him up close and in an intimate setting, which is worth a piece of that fee.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
The medley from NAACP award show a few years ago (maybe more than a few) was great though haha. But if it only lasted 10-20 min not worth it. id expect for a 100 dollar after party like the one in chicago atleast 1hr of Prince and some dj or andy allo or something of that nature. Also, keeping in perspective the price for the concert ticket was a 102 dollars and i got 2:36 min tuesday and 1:45 min wednesday. so being so close to prince and in an intimate setting id say 1 hr of him sounds about right for a 100 bucks.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
To be fair to Prince, he was on stage for longer than 15-20 mintues but it was usually in a very minor supporting role. I don't believe he even brought a guitar to the show that night. So he would be on stage, except for the Jenelle Monae set, but just strutting around with his cane. So yes, it was longer than I made it seem but just not with enough direct Prince performance following a long wait and a pretty good price tag. And yes, I know, third night in a row and maybe heading out of town right after but so what.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
True but Janelle Monae is well known also.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
It all depends.
In Cannes 2010 I was sitting during the whole show.
In the 2002 Paris aftershows as well.
In 2007 I stood during all 12 aftershows I attended, though the 21st I had a balcony seat.
2010: Brussels was standing but plenty of rails for support. Kopenhagen was standing.
2011: Kopenhagen was standing.
So you need to practice. Aching comes from weak muscles.

LOL, thanks for the advice. I will go into training mode prior to the next possible aftershow!! Work that core out a bit to get prepared.

Could be worse, you could stand in line for hours and there may be not even be a show at all - Melbourne Hi-fi 2012 - legs, back, and lack of sleep the next day was painful.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
You need good info to begin with.
Also a good condition of the body.
Next is some preparedness: bring food, drinks, etc.
Do not forget the cash. (cards and PIN etc are overrated in aftershow scenarios)

EVERYTHING was right when I saw him in the Melkweg in Amsterdam last year. Standing in line for an entire day was allright because it was summer (not a very hot one) and the atmosphere was so cool you could move in and out ot the line to use the toilet or get food & everybody was chatting with everybody.
Once inside I was close to the stage with no tall people in front of me the wait was not that long and Prince hit the stage almost immediately. No hour-long opening act by Shelby like the night before!
And then he opened with What's My Name!!! And that was only the beginning. He played Chocolate and Mutiny. And Kiss in a way you never heared it before.
This night was a dream come true. So yes, thank U, Prince.

Reading about such shows in Rolling Stones years before and as blurbs in the same magazine, I was more and more intrigued with the after show experience. Since then, Prince has had countless after-shows and club dates. Club dates are just as fulfilling as after-shows because of the intimacy and the likelihood of different material played as well as his playfulness during them. Hell, the famed Purple Rain recording session may be the most heralded club date ever, which again was posted in Rolling Stone's random notes section.

This. A thousand times, this.
I mean if he did have sex he would break every rule Jehova's have regarding premarital sex so Prince is really just friends with them all anyway.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
I don't know that one either.
Rod hit the nail on the head really. The afters are the stuff of legend. Some better than others, granted. If you offered me 5 tickets to main shows or one ticket to an afters I'd take the afters. Every day of the week.... Of course, I'd buy myself a couple of main show tickets anyway. Gotta check these things out.

i bought 42 tickets for myself to the o2 shows alone just to get to see aftershows, and every aftershow appearance i experienced was amazing. i'd rather hear covers than hear the same songs played at main shows. i want him to play what he wants to play, not what he thinks the audience want to hear, as that's what gives the best performance, when he does what he wants to do
few other artists do anything like what he does. an aftershow is a special thing for fans

i went to opening night of nude in rotterdam. as part of the trip we were supposed to get into the aftershow., which never materialised. anyone remember that weirdo conman chris dawson?
my first and only aftershow was the bagley's sacrifice of victor malarkey. it was heaving in there, sweat was dripping off the ceiling and he didn't come on til daft o'clock.
apart from hearing the ride debut and the undertaker it was a shambles. too much steeles, gameboyz, etc.
88 that was the year for aftershows!
don't play me...i'm over 30 and i DO smoke weed....

Yeah, and '87 (New Morning) and I have to say, some of those Indigo afters were the absolute unadulterated shaved bollocks.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
When the aftershows started in the 80s, it was usually a last minute thing. That went on through the early 90s. It added a whole lot of excitement not knowing if your city was going to get one or not. I only saw a few true aftershows, the aftershow for a Jan 92 Glam Slam gig at Paisley Park (the one with TTD in attendance), the Act I aftershow at Cabaret Metro in Chicago, and the JOTY and Musicology aftershows at Paisley Park. The JOTY ones were ruined by Larry G. I think a lot of excitement was lost when they became rehearsed, planned, tickets sold, and no more new music was previewed. I'd much rather see a main show now, than an aftershow.

Bar None in Vancouver a year ago yesterday was uncomfortable but exciting. It was a tiny crowd and we were propping each other up akin to the subway at rush hour. Prince did not come onstage until almost three. Prince had his back to us and mostly played bass. No matter; it was like being a witness to a private moment. He was so close, practically under my armpit a few times.
The HOB shows in Chicago were good, well, the Tuesday show was great, but they felt more staged. At Bar None, he did not want to stop. That was the difference.

I was lucky enough to experience some of the Indigo aftershows in 2007 and imo they were amazing and I am super grateful I got to experience them. Inparticular the New Power Trio night on the 28th August comes to mind or the last night when he came on relatively early and played most the night. By the end of the 21 Nights in London I was only going to the afterparties the mainshows became repetitive whereas at the afterparties he played a variety of other songs. Though admittedly some nights he didnt play and we had to listen to the NPG for a couple of hours but I'd personally pay to see them anyway so I honestly didnt mind that.

I bought tickets for 2 aftershows in 2007 at the O2 Indigo and Prince/the band never played either, I was annoyed as these tickets were sold at the time as aftershows (I bought with main concert tickets on opening sale), everyone in the Prince world knows what an aftershow is, these were later billed as 'after parties' I believe.
I got a refund as I complained afterwards, but this was a marketing exercise to make money out of the fans, Prince and his people would have known he would not play at every Indigo night but billed it as such.

For God Sake, those aftershow or afterparty tickets were crazy cheap, appox £25 if I remember correctly. I'd say something if you paid £100 and he never played, but £25? Come on! I attended 2 - one he didnt plan and the second (21st) he certainly did!
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
I've seen one aftershow (LA House Of Blues in '04 when Wendy Melvoin showed up) and one small club gig that was not "after" another gig (at Sayers Club a few months ago), and always look forward to the reports from other cities.
My two cents, it seems necessary to shake off any expectations you might have before going in. P may not be on stage the whole time and he may not play much you've heard before. The music might be white hot, or it might be un-together. It may not last very long or might go on for hours. There's no way to tell.
That's a hard pill to swallow when you're thinking about spending a lot of money on tickets or especially travelling. If the risk doesn't seem worth it, don't go. If you were gonna put yourself there, and the possibility of Prince not playing or even not playing a great set is too terrifying, just let it go. There is definitely a possibility of being disappointed. But there's also the possibility of something truly special.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
£25 isn't cheap for nothing, stood in a half empty club/bar after waiting outside for an hour, then trying to get back to central London when you give up on any performance at 2am costs a packet in a taxi fair as there is no tube running, then you got a hotel in London to stay at ..... not cheap at all.
If they sold it as an aftershow, Prince should have played, if he was gonna choose when he played, only sell tickets for aftershows he plays. Its like buying tickets to a Prince gig, you expect Prince to play if the tickets are £31.21 or over £100, you still expect a gig.
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
but they did tell people from the start that prince wasn't going to play the aftershows every night, that the band would play and prince would play if he felt like it. and that's the thing, there are times where he was going to play and then changed his mind, and other times like when they announced mid tour that he was unlikely to play an aftershow if there was a main gig the next day, and that very night he played an aftershow even though he had a gig the next day. in the end he played most aftershows so the odds were good and all the ones i saw that he played more than made up for the few he didn't play. and having tickets in advance and the venues together made everything a lot easier than the old days of running about and looking out for rumours etc
|- E-mail - orgNote - Report post to moderator
But they didn't tell people from the start he would not play aftershows, I bought my tickets the morning they want on sale on Ticketmaster UK, they were sold as aftershow's, later on after lots of tickets were sold they changed to 'afterpartys', they were sold as aftershows and as such should have been, with Prince playing, not being able to change on a whim on the day.
What if the main concerts were sold for 21 nights as concerts, then you get 20,000 people in the O2 everynight, and at 20:55 Prince decided if he fancied it that night or not, so he played 10 nights, sent the band on their own for 6 nights and the other 5 nights sent a crappy DJ out to play tracks for 2 hours, how would that go down? exactly the same thing happened with the aftershows. Prince and his team thought the hardcore fans would buy aftershow tickets whatever, and if he played, its a bonus for them, if he didn't, they'd be happy to just to have the chance and maybe see the (very average) backing band.
I could only get too 2 O2 gigs, due to work/family commitments and I live 250 miles from London, one a normal seat, the other VIP at £250 (to guarantee at least 1 good concert view) and I purchased 2 aftershow tickets for the same nights, meaning I had to pay hotels and transport from the O2 back to London in the early hours.
The first night we queued outside the Indigo for an hour, went in, nothing happened, then we were told Prince or the band would not be playing as Prince had gone downtown partying with P Diddy,so we were stuck in a crap club with rubbish music at the O2, so we left and went to central London.
The second night I went, the band played about 1 hour from 1am, Prince was rumoured to be in the back (a few people saw him at the side), but he decided he didn't want to come out, that was even more annoying as he was there, if he would have come out and just done 1 song, or just played guitar/piano for 5 minutes, a thousand fans would have been made up and really appreciated it, doesn't take allot, I was really disappointed, mainly with his attitude as I took a friend and really sold it to her how great his gigs were.
If Prince/management knew he'd not play an aftershow if there was a main gig the next day, why sell 21 aftershows? they should have just arranged 10-15 aftershows, that suited Prince's schedule/rest time and said he plays, buy ya tickets, then the fans get what they want and don't feel conned, just means Prince and his team won't get £50K a night wahtever they do for the aftershows ......
I've been to Prince gigs, since 1986, seen him on all the UK tours, went to Holland SOTT gigs when he pulled out of Wembley, went to Opening night for Lovesexy in Paris and Nude Rotterdam with the Revolution Club (whatever happened to Chris & Eileen???), I went to the Controversy Convention in 1991 in Mineapolis, its not allot to ask for Prince to be straight and honest with his fans, and make abit of an effort when he can.
Still like his music, will goto his gigs and have fun, but he can be an idiot seeing how he cancels gigs quite often, shuts down his fan websites after taking membership money, doesn't pay his bills and likes to sue others for playing his music/videos on the web, he doesn't help himself to get back into mainstream popularity, while he treats the fans that stuck by him like this, it will be an ever dwindling fanbase he has left to milk .....
So, my message is, if you have a chance at an aftershow, I'd go for it, just be aware that there's no guarantee you will get anything and you maybe just wasting your money, but if he plays, you'll have a great time, just don't pay too much as there are no guarantee's with Prince.

No showings in NY state. Screw that. ;P
Oh, I love those Tim Burton Funny Movies.

So sad they made Dark Shadows into a Fish Out Of Water movie. I was hoping for something more true to the original.

864: Flying Cars
|Flying Cars
Title text: It's hard to fit in the backseat of my flying car with my android Realdoll when we're both wearing jetpacks.
[edit] Explanation
Cueball is complaining to Megan over the phone about the lack of flying cars even though it is the year 2011. Megan counters that phone technology has taken off. For example, in the past it was predicted that we would have flying cars and two-way wrist radios by today.[citation needed] The flying car is still not perfected (although there are some awesome prototypes flying today) but the two way wrist radio pales in comparison to the current state of smart phones.
He chooses to be resentful about the lack of flying cars rather than be amazed at the current state of computers and communication technology. Like many people, he is missing the forest while looking for a particular tree.
The title text references Realdoll, known as "the world's finest lovedoll", and jetpacks, another invention that many people were expecting to have by this point in time.
This strip is quoted at the top of the TV Tropes article I Want My Jetpack, having a similar theme to the strip.
[edit] Transcript
- Cueball (on telephone): It's 2011. I want my flying car.
- Answer from telephone: Dude.
- Megan (on telephone): You're complaining to me using a phone on which you buy and read books, and which you were using to play a 3D shooter until I interrupted you with what would be a video call if I were wearing a shirt.
- Cueball: Can't I have flying cars, too?
- Answer from telephone: You'd crash it while texting and playing angry birds.

Self driving flying car. Happy now? Davidy²²[talk] 10:01, 9 March 2013 (UTC)
I think the title text is more of a reference to other things we expected to have by the 21st century: androids and jetpacks. 220.127.116.11 02:47, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
I think we're missing an important feature of this comic. And that is that Megan is not wearing a shirt. Discuss. 220.127.116.11 14:10, 8 June 2014 (UTC)
Since mobile/cell phones use part of the radio spectrum, they are patently two-way in that they send and receive data, and since smart-watches exist (the long-awaited Apple Watch made its debut in March 2015), I'd say that prophecy came true, and we just never properly realised it until now. 126.96.36.199 (talk) (please sign your comments with ~~~~)
It's sort of like how 3D printers are just very primitive version of replicators from Star Trek... -Pennpenn 220.127.116.11 03:20, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Back to the Future II DID predict video calls, though... Greyson (talk) 05:09, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Good DVD Player at this priceI would be upgrading to a AV Receiver/HT system in near future. So just wanted to buy a cheap DVD player for the time being which will play most media/disks. This player definitely serves my purpose. It can also read subtitle (.srt) files automatically while playing media files which is a nice feature. An HDMI output would have been nice. Also the lack of a LED display may seem disadvantageous. The only problem I am facing is the power button which does not work unless it is hard-pressed. But other than that there is really nothing to complain at this price.

No display on DVD playerInitially I thought the DVD player is defective because there was no LED display to show the playing time and other details of the disc I inserted! Anyway, after consulting customer/ technical support at Flipkart, I was informed this particular model does not have a built-in digital display! Unfortunate - I intend on playing audio CDs mostly. The player is lightweight and compact/sleek.

Excellent and worth the priceYou would expect the product to have some drawbacks because of the price. But there in no drawback of such. It supports all popularly used formats and all versions of DivX and XviD. And to top it all, if you put in an audio CD and a pen drive at the same time, you can rip the songs in the audio cd into the pen drive in MP3 format.

BEST VALUE FOR MONEYI think its the best value for your money. USB performance is great. It doesn't play mp4 files, but given the price it is acceptable. One great advantage is that it plays AVI files quite smoothly without any disturbances to the frame and the audio. No need to convert AVI files into any other format unless it is upto a resolution of 720 x 576p.

Good productThis product is very good to buy. It plays avi files but not mkv,flv format files. The problem with device is it's not having display but good at this price. Since I use my TV as display I did not find any problem to me. I could not able to play the last played frame whenever the power gone off(may be I did not concentrate much on this). I did not face any Problems with respect to any of the issues like the player Laser head etc. It's able to read Disks which can't be played in the China DVD players. This seems to be good for the money.

Hello all,
NN Newbie here. Okay so I received my NN3 MKII, watched several of the tuts. When I look for my camera set-up the closest I found was the E330/Zuiko 11-22 lens and says the settings are A71 and B111 w/o Camera Plate and A81 and B111 w CP. Seems with CP I cannot set the A rail to 81 (which I assume means 8.1 between the 8 and 9 on the bottome rail), and with CP the B rail does not allow me to set it at B111 (which I am assuming means at the 11.1 mark between the 11 and 12 where the camera mount thread should be? Also I believe I read somewhere that with the NN3 MKII you do not need the camera plate? I just want to make sure I'm reading and viewing the diagrams properly before I start getting frustrated when I start finding the nodal point and finding out the stitching is not working. Also, if anyone has the settings for the Olympus E30 with Zuiko 11-22 lens and the 7-14 lens that would great.
Thanks so much!

The 16 Most Hilariously Dishonest Old School Advertisements
#7. Lose Weight, Eat More Sugar
OK, there's technically nothing misleading about the statement that eating ice cream before lunch will probably make you feel like eating less. It's the same principle that dictates you'll eat much less salad at dinnertime if you chomp down on a Big Mac beforehand.
On the subject of Big Macs:
#6. McDonald's Is Technically Real Food
Why, it's just bread, meat, milk and potatoes! That's the same kind of stuff doctors are always telling you to eat. And our rendered bacon fat milkshakes are made from 100 percent real pig!
#5. The Ford Pinto -- It'll Be Worth Something Someday
Via Ebay
In an ironic twist, this ad might actually be correct. If you own a functional, running, nonexploded Ford Pinto, then it probably would be worth something today just from the sheer odds-defying mathematical unlikelihood of that proposition.
Presumably Ford knew their new car was a piece of shit and went with the tried and true "place it next to successful things and hope people get confused" approach.
#4. Beware the Orphan Asylum
Via Atticpaper.com
The Prudential Insurance Company of America preferred to let this stark image speak for itself. Miss a payment on your life insurance and your wife will be forced to hand your children over to the world's meanest looking woman, and they will live the rest of their lives in a Charles Dickens novel moving around trash with a stick. Like a cliched reality TV star, Prudential isn't here to make friends. They're here for the money.
#3. Juicy Fruit: As Addictive as Crack
Via Davetill.com
The family's supply of Juicy Fruit is low, which means they've gotten all 25 minutes of flavor out of their 300 pack. It's not that Wrigley's gum is made from crack; it's just that children are addicted to the health benefits of chewing on processed sugar after every meal.
#2. Overland -- It's Made of Steel!
This advertisement for the now defunct "Overland" car brand excitedly declares that "steel is 30 times stronger than wood!" And that's how Overland saved the world from road fatalities and revolutionized the automobile industry. Oh no, actually, they went out of business and nobody remembers them.
#1. Sea Monkeys: Just Shrimp After All
Via theawl.com
Perhaps the most iconic bullshit ad of all time. Even in the 1970s, everyone had to have known the Sea Monkeys thing was full of shit. And yet, there was always that lingering feeling that for only $1.25 you could own a breed of intelligent mer-people who served you as their king. Add to that the promise that your sea monkeys would be "clowning around" and "learning tricks" for your amusement.
Instead, you got a packet of quarter-inch frozen brine shrimp. Because this is the real world, Timmy.

Trojan Softball Returns Home SundayFebruary 8, 2014
ANDERSON, S.C. – The 20th-ranked Anderson softball team returns home on Sunday, welcoming Chowan to Smethers Field for a nonconference doubleheader slated to start at noon.
The Trojans
Anderson is riding a four-game win streak after sweeping season-opening doubleheaders past Conference Carolinas opponents Lees-McRae and North Greenville, including three five-inning decisions.
Junior third baseman Bri Cason led the way offensively for the Trojans at NGU, going 3-for-5 on the afternoon, including a pair of home runs. The Lawrenceville, Ga., native drove in four runs and scored three times, while also adding a walk. Junior Jessica Neidigh, who enters Sunday's doubleheader on a four-game hitting streak, added three hits and a pair of walks while also crossing the plate three times.
Senior first-baseman Danielle Swygert notched three hits, with freshman Courtney Czentnar tallying a pair of hits, an RBI and scored once. Senior Abby Child went 2-for-6 with a double and an RBI, and sophomore Molly Child posted a single, two walks and crossed the plate three times.
Freshman Lauren Rudesheim, the reigning South Atlantic Conference Pitcher of the Week, earned her second win of the young season after tossing four innings of relief and allowing two runs, striking out one Crusader and walking one. The Columbus, Ga. native owns a stellar 0.88 ERA on the season after surrendering just one earned run in eight innings of work. Fellow freshman Augie Pena collected her first win of the season with a complete-game five-inning victory at North Greenville, allowing three earned runs off six hits. She walked one, while striking out three.
The Hawks
Chowan, from the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, finished last season with a 26-23 overall record and won its second CIAA Tournament Championship in program history. The Hawks also earned their fifth-straight CIAA Northern Division title and made their second NCAA DII Atlantic Regional appearance.
Junior outfielder Leigh Ward earned First-Team North Carolina Sports Information Association (NCCSIA), First-Team NFCA Division II Atlantic All-Region, Daktronics All-Region Second-Team and Second-Team All-CIAA honors following her sophomore campaign. Ward was 29-for-36 in stolen base attempts last season and led the Hawks with a .461 batting average a year ago. The Oriental, N.C. native also led Chowan in at-bats (152), runs scored (48), hits (70), total bases (75) and on-base percentage (.529).
Liz Hipple and Courtney Baker returned for their senior year after batting .435 and .312, respectively, last season. Hipple was tabbed First-Team NCCSIA and First-Team All-Region while Baker earned the nod on the First-Team All-CIAA squad. In the circle, the Hawks returned sophomore Courtney Groce and junior Alora Lincoln, who combined for 25 of the team's 26 wins last season. Groce earned 10 wins as a rookie while Lincoln tallied 15 wins during her sophomore campaign and was honored as the CIAA Tournament Most Valuable Player.
Sunday afternoon's twin bill is part of a 16-game season-opening road swing for the Hawks, who do not return to Murfreesboro, N.C. for a home contest until Feb. 28. Chowan dropped their season-opening doubleheader to Erskine, 6-2 and 6-4, on Friday and are slated to visit North Greenville this afternoon.
The Series vs. Chowan
The Trojans and Hawks have met five times over the past eight seasons, with Anderson holding a 3-2 edge in the overall series. The two teams met once during the 2006 campaign, with Chowan taking a 4-2 win. The two teams split a doubleheader in 2011, then AU swept a twin bill during the 2012 season.
The Trojans pounded out 28 hits in that sweep, with Swygert going 3-for-4 with a home run and five RBI in the first game. Trojan hurlers held Hawks to four hits in the 15-2 nightcap, as Neidigh went 5-for-5 and posted three RBI. Cason added a pair of hits, including a home run and recorded five RBI.

In the American cut of Metropolis the mentioning of Hel is completely removed from the movie. But it pretty much explains Dr. Rotwangs actions. Why was such an important story-element taken away?
I did a little bit of online research on this, and it would appear that the American distributors considered the movie too long, complicated and controversial and employed the playwright Channing Pollock to make a new version.
The American release was considerably shorter than the original (at 115 minutes it was about 25% shorter than the original) and massively changed the plot - to the point where some scenes became almost incomprehensible. According to one reference I found Hel was dropped because her name was too close to Hell - unbelievable really.
Pollock's version was released in the USA and the UK. Other adaptations of around that length or some even shorter (91 minutes) were released in the USA and Germany. The 91 minute version was the most commonly available from world-war-2.
I found a description about the restoration of the movie which contains some detail about the different versions. A documentary of the restoration can be found on a DVD and Blu-Ray.
This research has made me want to see the restored version, as I saw a version around 1992 with live piano accompaniment - and I now have no idea how butchered the version I saw was.

HARRISVILLE, Ohio - Charles Carpenter was searching through a mushroom patch near his home in Fairmont, W.Va. on Monday afternoon.
By chance, Carpenter's gaze turned upward and a peculiar sight caught his attention in a nearby tree.
What Carpenter discovered was a mylar balloon stuck in the branches. A wide-eyed, smiling caricature of Spongebob Squarepants was staring back at him.
Article Photos
Photo provided
CHARLES CARPENTER of Fairmont, W.Va. poses with a balloon he found Monday in the woods near his home. The Feher family of Harrisville released this and four other balloons nearly a year ago on the birthday of William Feher Jr., who passed away in January of 2011.
An odd thing to find in a tree, but after Carpenter took down the balloon, he discovered a message written in black marker.
This coming Monday would have been William Michael Feher Jr.'s 34th birthday.
Feher unexpectedly passed away in January of 2011 at the age of 31.
Last year, to celebrate what would have been Feher's 33rd birthday, his mother Lou Ann, father William Sr., his sister and young niece Abriauna met at William Jr.'s grave site to pay their respects to another young man taken far too soon.
To honor him, each family member selected and released a balloon. On each balloon, a message was written that:
"Today is my son's 33rd birthday. He passed away on Jan. 7, 2011. Please, if you find this balloon, please call," and a phone number and name were listed to call.
Lou Ann Feher, of Harrisville, and her family were hopeful that maybe, someone might find the balloon and let the family know.
They waited and waited. But as the weeks and months passed, hope began to fade that anyone might ever find one of the balloons.
Then last Monday, the phone rang.
"I had just gotten home from work and my husband said he just got off the phone with a guy from Fairmont," Lou Ann Feher recalled. "He said 'Do you remember last year when we left off the balloons on William's birthday?' and I busted out crying.
"I waited to call him back and when I did, he was still in the woods. I thanked him first and told him how much his calling meant to us.
"He didn't just pass it over or think (the balloon) was garbage and not bother with it."
Lou Ann asked Carpenter if he would mind sending a picture of he and the balloon and Carpenter was more than happy to oblige, having his wife snap a quick picture and sending it to the Fehers.
It was little Abriauna who selected the Spongebob balloon.
During William Jr's last weeks, his niece came to visit him at her grandparents house every day and the two would spend time watching the Spongebob show together. It was a tribute to a special memory she had of her uncle William.
It's fitting that Carpenter found the balloon exactly a week before William Jr.'s birthday. But that wasn't the only coincidence.
Lou Ann explained that her son was a lover of all things outdoors.
An avid hunter and fisherman, rarely did William Jr. enter the woods and not return with either a deer, turkey or whatever was in season. He was one with nature and nature was where his balloon was found.
Then there is the connection on the other side of the story.
The mushroom patch Carpenter was walking in is situated roughly 20 feet from a monument to his cousin that passed away.
The patch is on the family's land and Carpenter and other family members will head up on the hill to plant flowers and pay their respects.
For Lou Ann Feher, it's not just a coincidence.
"I still can't get over it," she said. "Nearly a year later, a week before his birthday ... it's like he was sending us a message to let us know that he's ok.
"I don't know how to explain it. But I feel like he is letting us know he is out there."
Feher said she and her family plan to release balloons every year.
This is a tough time of the year for the Feher family. But the kindness of a stranger more than 100 miles away in a different state helped her and her family find a small measure of peace.

Does the Recovery power only heal physical stress and not mental? Is there a way to heal mental stress besides taking a consequence?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
All stress tracks (not just Mental) clear after a conflict ends. Unless you take consequences, which don't "heal" stress, but more absorb it, all your stress returns as soon as the conflict ends, as long as there's a reasonable opportunity to stop and take a breather.
It is possible to dive right from one conflict to another without a chance to rest. Just defeating a bad guy or whatever is not enough to trigger stress recovery. When wizards in my game are going from conflict to conflict with short rests, I try to decide if they have had enough time to unwind in between. I ask myself, "Is this next conflict a continuous event emotionally? Has there been another state of mind in between?"
I will have to check my book for the exact details on the Recovery power, but if memory serves, it's about Physical attributes, like Toughness and Might are.

There's more to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens than the tea room
Photo courtesy of Derek Keats
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden was established in 1913 to preserve South Africa's unique flora.
While many visitors enjoy the garden's dramatic setting at the foot of Table Mountain by having a lazy picnic on the lawns or a quiet coffee at the Botanical Cafe outdoor coffee shop, there are other ways to explore this Unesco World Heritage site.
The paved pathways make a casual stroll around the gardens a pleasure, while signboards provide you with information about the thousands of indigenous plants to which the garden is home. There is a daily walking tour (at 10h00, no cost) as well as golf cart tours every hour (for only R25).
If you're in the mood for some more strenuous activity and would like to see some of the surrounding sights, there are two popular hiking paths – the Skeleton Gorge and the Nursery Ravine – which wind their way up Table Mountain. If you're feeling fit you can follow the contour path north to the Rhodes Memorial, which boasts a spectacular view of the city below. From here, you can access the pedestrian path down to the University of Cape Town and explore the striking old buildings of South Africa's oldest university.
The most popular activity in the gardens during these sultry summer months, however, is the Sunday evening open-air concert, held from 17h30 to 18h30 every week. It's best to arrive early to claim a patch of grass on which to lay out your picnic and leisurely sip your Cape wines.

Fall River, city of hills, old mills and unpaid bills. Where do we go from here? Whether all citizens realize it or not, Fall River can have a great future, just like the past when our ancestors came from Europe and Canada. I don't know what the unemployment rate was in the early 1900s, but I'm sure they never kept records.
Today we have a mayor who's heart is on fire with love for our city. Yes, I'm talking about Mayor Will Flanagan. Since his first day in office in his first term, his main intent was to bring jobs to Fall River. Always realizing the hard times the residents of Fall River are going through, people losing their jobs, their homes and their dignity.
Trying steadfastly to make Fall River a resort city, Flanagan will not give up. Fall River, a resort city close enough to Boston, Providence, and, yes, New York City. This sure can be a reality. Fall River has one of the most beautiful landscapes I've ever seen in an older city. If you look toward Somerset from the top of Highland Avenue, I think we can all agree.
To get to my point, Mayor Will Flanagan has a great desire to bring a resort via Foxwoods to the South End of our city. We need the jobs and we need the business that comes with it. We also need the revenue that the city will be entitled to offset the needs of police and fire protection. People who gamble are going to gamble. People go to church bingos; we don't look down at that scenario.
I think the City Council needs to show respect to our mayor and stop trying to undermine him. He is a man with a lot of spunk and a genuine love for Fall River. And, it's not easy to find a mayor with his charisma.
Mayor Flanagan is a true leader. Let's let him lead and let's follow.

Cyberduck (Free)
A great free FTP client. This is my go-to application. Anytime I need FTP access, I use Cyberduck. It's not quite as lightweight as Fugu, but it adds a lot more functionality than Fugu. I also really like the Growl integration with Cyberduck.
Fugu (Free)
Awesome little FTP client. As I noted above, this is a lightweight FTP client. It is great for simple FTP transfers and browsing. I do like the dual panel navigation.
EDIT: I forgot to add these.
Filezilla (Free)
I haven't actually used Filezilla extensively, but from what I've seen of it, I really like it. I downloaded it and played with it for a bit and I really like the tabbed connections. I also like the ability to jump to a path easily.
RBrowser (Free, $29 Upgrade)
A free FTP/FTP-SSL client. I don't usually use RBrowser because a $29 upgrade is necessary to unlock other protocols (Local, FTP/SSL/TLS, SFTP-SSH). I do like the Site Manager. It's a handy little thing to have.
I searched and came up with some other free FTP clients:
FireFTP (Free) - Firefox extension
The one downside I see is that this is for Firefox. The website doesn't make it clear how it works with Firefox, so I assume it is an extension.
Macfusion (Free)
This one relies on Google's MacFUSE. Since I don't know anything about MacFUSE, I don't know if this is good or bad.
Transmit ($34) By Panic
I have never used Transmit before, but I have used Coda and I definitely would recommend anything from Panic. The only reason I haven't used this because of the $34 price tag.
ForkLift2 ($30)
Never used it, just found it when searching.
Fetch ($24 per user)
An amazing program with a long, long, long mac heritage. It's way up there with Transmit by Panic and Interarchy as a file transfer program loved by long time Mac power users.
Flow ($30)
Never used it, but looks good from the screenshots. I really like the fact that it looks like Finder. I may have to give this one a try.
OneButton FTP (Free)
Just searching around and found yet another one...It looks pretty nice, except it's no longer supported. However, you can still download it.
Panic's Transmit tops my list. An extremely well built and executed FTP Client that fully supports sFTP. Priced at $34.
Forklift 2 is another terrific client that is just as solid and just as well built. Priced at $29.95.
Lastly, Cyberduck rounds out the list. It is not as well polished, but it sturdy and does the job. It is free.
There are others to be sure, but these are the one's I've used and personally recommend. Additionally, you may want to hit up places like MacUpdate, VersionTracker, or iUseThis for these types of questions. You will find much more diversity and get a better understanding of the programs available to you.
ExpanDrive acts just like a USB drive plugged into your computer. Open, edit, and save files to remote computers from within your favorite programs—even when they are on a server half a world away. ExpanDrive enhances every single application on your computer by transparently connecting it to remote data.
I have tried Cyberduck and Flow in the past but Filezilla offers a side-by-side interface which is quite useful. The only limitation with this tool is that it's not really MacOSX-aware, e.g. it shows all hidden files
Most other answers gave an objective analysis, but I'll share my experience.
Top clients:
Add to others
This provides more of an interface like Finder than the others (stricyly much more like the original NeXT version) Apart form standard ssh/ftp it will syncronise directories etc.
A more recent option is to use the newer implementation of Fuse for OSX in combination with SSHFS. This is a better solution because most of the applications mentioned are either outdated or payed (and expensive).
Fuse for OSX allows you to use new file systems in user space and SSHFS configures the system to allow you to connect to SSH drives automatically, as if they were drives supported by OSX.
CaptainFTP is the best choice
Easy to download from itunes:
Yummy FTP (commercial) : http://www.yummysoftware.com/
Can't believe the one that blows most of the above out of the water hasn't yet been mentioned.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
If you need graphical utility with support for SSH you may try CRAX. This software has a built-in SSH client and after connection to the SSH server it's possible to invoke file operations like copy, move, and delete.

I know this question has been asked many times before but I would like to know if one can send and receive text messages on the iPad without having to bother those who are texting you to join IMs etc. Maybe something through email or sms gateways....
Google voice is a good option. It lets you send and receive texts from anywhere you have Internet. You get a phone number through it.
But to receive the messages you have to configure your Skype account with your mobile phone number and then you will receive the replies on it instead of the iPad.
Also, give Textfree a look.
iMessage in iOS5 will bring about some of this, but only for other people running an iOS5 device. Viber and other similar apps to the same thing but they're even more niche.

Let $(M,g)$ be a compact Riemannian manifold. On some neighbourhood $X$ of the zero section in the cotangent bundle $T^{*}L$ we have a complex structure $J$ and a Kähler form $\omega$ s.t. $(X,\omega)$ is a Kähler manifold. My question is: are there any examples known where such a construction does not admit a Ricci-flat Kähler metric i.e. where one cannot find a different Kähler metric which is Ricci-flat (maybe in the same cohomology or not)? I would be very thankfull for answers.

Is it possible to turn off automatic preview of attachments when composing an e-mail?
NOTE: Yes I know that I can manually ctr+select the attachment and disable preview, but I want this done automatically
In Terminal, type:

There is an extension for Apple Mail called Attachment Tamer. It has all kinds of settings, but the most useful is the one that defaults attachments to the icon view.
It is $15 but well worth it.
To expand on @user43521's answer, there are two ways to solve this problem:
First solution:
If you drag-and-drop files—even images—into Mail.app's compose window, they'll be sent as real attachments (
Second solution:
If you open a terminal and enter this command, it will always make attachments real attachments:
You only need to do this once. To revert to normal behavior:

I have a laptop that I have used for many years, and it has had Ubuntu on it since maybe version 8.04 or so.
This morning I upgraded from 12.04 to 12.10. The upgrade process went perfectly smoothly until it rebooted.
Now, when the computer boots, it goes into some kind of memory test, and never reaches GRUB.
On the one hand, it would seem that this is a hardware memory failure, and nothing to do with the operating system. On the other hand, I can't shake the feeling that it seems the timing is more than just coincidental. If my memory were as cataclysmically faulty as it now appears, I'm sure I would have seen some problems before today. In my experience, memory tends to start failing bit by bit, not all at once like this.
Is it just a horrible coincidence, or is there anything about an OS that can impact or trigger a problem like I'm seeing?
I've tried rebooting, but it will not get past the memory test. The memory test itself seems to go on indefinitely. It's been over 24 hours and it's still going.

Isaiah Boyle/Durango Herald file photo
Todd Wells� dream of qualifying for his third U.S. Olympic Team came crashing down in mountain bike reality on a cruel 2012 spring day in Pietermaritzburg, South Africa.
Wells, a two-time Olympic mountain biker from Durango, thought his dream had broken apart in a gnarled mass of bike parts at the bottom of a big downhill drop � a World Cup big downhill drop.
In addition to assorted scrapes and rock rash, Wells� ankle was sprained � severely.
And his ankle was bruised � severely.
His dream of racing in a third Olympic Games, however, was unscathed.
�This year, when I wasn�t an automatic selection (to the U.S. Olympic team) ... I�m really honored to have the coaches select me,� Wells, 36, recently said in an interview with The Durango Herald.
In spite of a season slowed by the horrible crash in South Africa, Wells was named by the mountain bike coaching staff to represent the United States this summer in the London Games. He�ll race in the Olympic mountain bike cross country race for the third time.
�It had been a very frustrating season to this point,� Wells said.
But based on his extensive international racing experience and two of the most productive seasons in his career, Wells made the U.S. team. He immediately rewarded their coaches for their support when he put together one of his best World Cup races ever, finishing on the podium in fourth place in his native New York.
�It was an awesome weekend,� said Wells, who came back to Durango to rehab his injured ankle before returning to the World Cup with his Specialized race team.
�Windham (N.Y.) is about 40 miles north of where I grew up,� said Wells, who learned to mountain bike on the roots and rocks of the Hudson Valley around Ulster Park.
�There was a World Cup in Canada, and then I got to spend a fun day at home with my family,� Wells said.
�They were all there to watch.�
And they saw their native son stage a remarkable comeback in Windham, coming from 30th place on the first of six laps to finish fourth.
�I had to play catch-up for most of the day, but I was able to pass people,� Wells said.
�It�s great when you�re having a big day, and it�s not wasted on a training day,� he said.
The Olympic validation of a World Cup podium finish, Wells said, was a tribute to everyone who has helped him in his cycling career.
�With any Olympic athlete, you don�t get to that point without an entire network of people supporting you. Durango ... the whole town ... has really been supportive,� he said of his adopted hometown.
�I just happened to be in the right place.�
And he wants to share his Olympic experience in London with Durango. There will be an Olympic going-away party at Carver�s Brewing Co. from 4 to 7 p.m. July 22 as a sendoff for Wells.
�This (Olympics) is for everyone ... for my family, my friends, my supportive wife (Meghan),� he said.
�My first Olympics was Athens (2004),� Wells said. �It was a completely overwhelming experience.�
He qualified for the team early.
�In a way, I was just happy to be over there,� he said.
Four years later, again he qualified early for a position on the team headed to Beijing.
�In Beijing, I ... put too much pressure on myself. I expected a lot more.�
Things are different the third time around.
�This year, I feel like I�m in a good place mentally,� Wells said.
He said he had to battle to regain confidence after his bad wreck in South Africa.
�I got hurt on a big, big drop. My biggest thing was I lost some confidence,� Wells said.
He also returned to his original training program after an experience with a new program didn�t pan out.
�I changed my training ... in search of that extra 1 percent. As an athlete, you always want to get better. But it completely backfired on me,� Wells said.
With his ankle slowly recovering and his familiar training program in place, Wells pedaled back on the U.S. Olympic mountain biking team. He followed his World Cup podium finish with a 1-2 punch at the USA Cycling Mountain Bike National Championships in Sun Valley, Idaho, last week.
Wells won the national title in the pro men�s short track race, and he finished second in the cross country race, an event he was leading until he was slowed by a flat tire.
A veteran of years of international racing, Wells already has sampled the new Olympic course on Hadleigh Farm in Essex.
�The course there is very open ... it�s in a big grass field on the side of a hill. There are no trees,� Wells said.
�You can pretty much see the whole course,� he said of the spectator-friendly Olympic mountain bike venue.
�They brought in ... 100 truckloads of rocks,� Wells said. The organizers created rock gardens and rock falls for tricky descents and climbs.
Wells said they set the rock sections so there are three basic lines � A, B and C � faster, faster, fastest (and riskiest).
�The London course is littered with these technical sections,� he said.
The Olympic course will feature lap times of 12 to 13 minutes.
�On a short course like that, you really have to study different lines. It�s almost like a downhill,� he said.
The Olympic cyclists will have to evaluate risk-reward in selecting routes through the rock falls. Wells said when they raced on the course earlier this year, it was dry.
�The course was dry and parched ... like Horse Gulch can get,� Wells said. Rain, he said, will add another element of intrigue to the Olympic course.
The mountain bike cross country race will be on the last day (Aug. 12) of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
�We�ll miss the opening ceremonies, but I�ll get to the closing ceremonies,� Wells said.
�Mountain biking ... is a solitary sport. You�re off in the woods alone, for the most part.
�But to walk into a stadium ... with 100,000 people, walking in with all the other athletes, the vibe is amazing,� Wells said.

What is the basic postulate on which QM rests. Is it that the position of a particle can only be described only in the probabilistic sense given by the state function $\psi(r)$ ? We can even go ahead and abandon the particle formalism as well. So what is the QM all about ? A probabilistic description of the physical world ? and nothing more ?
Existence of non-compatible observables: measuring one of them (say, coordinate) leads to an unavoidable uncertainty in the result of a subsequent measurement of the other (say, momentum). This is the essence of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in the kinematics of your system. There is a detailed discussion along these lines in the beginning of the Quantum Mechanics volume (volume III) in the Course of Theoretical Physics by Landau and Lifshitz. Any measurable (physical) system, be it particle, atom or anything else, is quantum only if you can identify a manifestation of Heisenberg uncertainty principle (non-commutativity of observables).
To me, the most basic postulate is that energy comes in discrete packages of $h \nu$. Based on this assumption, you get much of the rest of basic quantum mechanics.
In fact, the Schrödinger equation is related to the Hamilton-Jacobi formulation of classical mechanics with the added assumption of quantized energy, and the Heisenberg picture follows directly from the Poisson bracket formulation of classical mechanics, assuming quantized energy.
Wave-particle duality is also a very important assumption- this gives us a way to interpret exactly what these equations express, which is the probability of locating a particle per some (small) volume of position- or momentum-space.

Model 10, and related. Nice revolvers, if you like revolvers. I have Dad's retirement piece; a nickle-plated Model 10 with a 3" barrel is a standard item in S&W's catalog, specifically as a presentation piece.
But my first purchase as an adult, with the purpose of self defense in mind, was a pistol.
See, here we go again with the specialized weaponry considerations.The original question was what should you buy as your first self defense firearm?...
I don't want to beat a dead horse, but the words were "home defense" not "self defense."
...but my husband and I have $300 to spend and would like a handgun that we would feel comfortable shooting often (for practice) and for home protection. We do not have anything right now.
And for some reason you are leaving out this part:Aside from the fact that she is asking for handgun info, the fact that she wants to spend less than $300, and wants to feel comfortable shooting often for practice (which is simply not true or practical for most long guns), you might have a point - although I happen to disagree with the home-self defense bifurcation, myself....
The exact warranty terms and conditions can be found in the back of the instruction manual that came with your Kel-Tec product. It usually covers defects in material and workmanship for the lifetime of the product and for the ORIGINAL OWNER only. Only Kel-Tec manufactured products are covered by this warranty, for exact details please consult your manual or download a copy here.
All Hi-Point firearms carry a lifetime, "no-questions asked warranty." Whether you are the original purchaser, or the third-hand owner, your Hi-Point firearm will be repaired free of charge.
This is interesting from AmazonSpr xd 9mm subcompact 3 blk 2 16rd spr xd9801hcsp06 + 10% offhttp://www.amazon.com/Spr-9mm-subcompact-16rd-xd9801hcsp06/dp/B000YQSQTC/?_encoding=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&keywords=Spr%209%20mm&linkCode=ur2&qid=1345170538&sr=8-7&tag=wwwviolentkicom
I'd like to comment on the picture quality but it appears to be some sort of projector based on the size and shape, and mine arrived with no lens or bulb. I looked down the tube while flipping the switch and there is definitely no light coming out.
Not all Kel-Tecs have problems out of the box. We have several of their products, and have had no problems.Also, Kel-Tec has no problem with owners performing their own work on their guns. Screw it up and they'll fix it. You generally have to pay shipping.
Well, CD will certainly agree with you about that 870, Cap!
I'm glad this topic got revived. I, too, am looking for an inexpensive handgun. My Saturday Night Special fell apart. The 3 things I'm looking for in a handgun are price (under $300 would be good but I might be able to go up to $400), .22 (anything more than that would be overkill - it's mostly for killing rabbits), & not too heavy. I'm having more problems with my hands & wrists, so if it has a slide it has to be easy to use. I'm sort of leaning to a revolver but my son says I should go with something else. What, I don't know.I'd like some recommendations so I don't sound like a complete idiot about guns (even tho I am) when I go to the store.

Low-Calorie Pasta Recipes (Slide 20)
Made this last night and really enjoyed it. I did add 50gram of lean finely chopped ham (add 70cal), but did not use full fat milk - I used the 98%fat free milk instead. I had also run out of grain mustard so substituted Dijon which still tasted nice. Not sure how much cal difference in Dijon but I think this still came in under my cal allowance. Will make this one again... maybe with lean poached chicken would be nice too.

Woah baby! The little zucchini strips really made this dish special...so creamy...leftovers are awesome as well. Would fool alfredo - lovers.

I recently picked up the vegetable pasta and was thinking of mixing that with some white pasta to finish the box. Although I love wheat bread white pasta just tastes better if you cook al dente. I always mixed eggplant being of American Italian and grew up on the food.
Thanks for the tips. I always enjoy mixing my quick dinners being single. Don't like restaurant foods, too of everything. If you notice SUBWAY veggie sandwich is low in calories and extremely satisfying on wheat bread. Good lunch.

This is one of my favorite pasta recipes. I have used 1% milk and it still tastes great. I'm thinking of experimenting with soy milk because it naturally has a creamy texture. This recipe is definitely a keeper!
