LITTLE ITALY — Tube steaks are for the dogs. At least, that's how nine competitive eaters who scarfed their way to mozzarella-covered glory Saturday in Manhattan felt.
Nine contestants, each picked by a Little Italy restaurant as their "best eater," gobbled down as many pizzas as they could manage in ten minutes, for the neighborhood's annual pizza eating competition.
The $100 reward wasn't quite as handsome as the $10,000 that the winner of Nathan's hot dog eating contest gets, but for diehards of Little Italy's food, it's not about the money.
"It's all about bragging rights," said Vivian Catenaccio, 59, owner of the Mulberry Street Bar, which cooks the pizzas and has hosted the contest for three years. She's a native of the storied neighborhood. "Today's winner will be able to walk through Little Italy and tell everyone that he or she ate the most pizza today. Period."
At the end of the eating contest it was Greg Inoa, 30, a waiter at Il Piccolo Bufalo, who could proudly stand, or at least sit, triumphant after eating three 20-inch cheese pizzas. "Man, you have to be an animal to eat all this pizza," said the Brooklynite. "I'm a beast, but right now I can't move, I am so full."
Alex Tisi, 62, owner of Il Piccolo Bufalo, was beaming. "I knew Greg was going to win. I didn't give him breakfast this morning so he would have enough room to win this thing!"
People from all over the world, including folks from Australia, France and England took in the spectacle while enjoying the other sights of Little Italy.
"It's so American - I love it, it's great," said Joan Kavanaugh, 48, from Leeds in England, who stumbled across the contest while walking by.

Author and Gonzaga University Religious studies Professor Patrick McCormick, S.T.D., will deliver a lecture titled "Bone of My Bone and Flesh of My Flesh: Uncovering the Beauty of the Stranger" at 6:30 p.m. Tues., Nov. 17 in the Warde Academic Center's Butler Reception Room at Saint Xavier University's Chicago campus, 3700 W. 103rd St.
The lecture, the third in Saint Xavier's 2009-10 Catholic Colloquium series, is free and open to the public. McCormick will explore the challenges of cultural and religious diversity and the importance of recognizing others as "bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh."
McCormick teaches courses in Christian ethics, medical ethics and Catholic social teaching. He also speaks, writes and directs retreats about social justice issues.
McCormick authored Sin as Addiction and A Banqueter's Guide to the All Night Soup Kitchen of the Kingdom of God. He co-authored Character, Choices & Community: The Three Faces of Christian Ethics and Facing Ethical Issues: Dimension of Character, Choice and Community. He has published numerous works on Christian ethics and Catholic social teachings, and has written a monthly Christianity and culture column for U.S. Catholic since 1994.

Sahyadria denisonii
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Sahyadria denisonii (Day, 1865)
Common Name(s):
Labeo denisonii Day, 1865
Puntius denisonii (Day, 1865)
|Taxonomic Source(s):
|Eschmeyer, W.N. (ed.). 2015. Catalog of Fishes. Updated 7 January 2015. Available at: http://researcharchive.calacademy.org/research/ichthyology/catalog/fishcatmain.asp. (Accessed: 7 January 2015).
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Puntius denisonii was described by Day (1865) from Mundakkayam, Kerala, southern India.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered A2acde+3cde; B2ab(iii) ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
|Ali, A., Raghavan, R. & Dahanukar, N.
|Gopalakrishnan, A., Rema Devi, K.R., Shaji, C.P., Arunachalam, M., Johnson, J.A., Vidyadhar, A., Rahul, K., Krishna , K.K. & Molur, S.
|Molur, S., Bogutskaya, N. & Rema Devi, K.R.
Sahyadria denisonii has been assessed as Endangered as populations have declined by more than 50% in the recent past due to indiscriminate exploitation for the international aquarium pet trade. These declines are expected to continue in the foreseeable future unless local management plans, as well as national and international legislations are created and implemented. The species also has a restricted range with an area of occupancy of less than 300 km² with continuing decline in quality of key habitats.
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|Sahyadria denisonii is endemic to the Western Ghats where it occurs as fragmented populations in the states of Kerala and Karnataka (Raghavan et al. 2010, Prasad et al. 2008). Known from the rivers Chandragiri (Biju 2005, Kurup et al. 2004), Valapatanam (Biju 2005), Karyangod (Kurup and Radhakrishnan 2006), Chaliyar (Shaji et al. 2000), Kuttiyadi (R. Raghavan and A. Ali pers.obs.), Bharatapuzha (Kurup et al. 2004), Sullya (R. Raghavan and A. Ali pers.comm), Kuppam, Iritti, Anjarakandipuzha and Bhavani River in Chavadiar (Mercy 2010; A. Gopalakrishnan pers. comm.).
Populations have also been reported from Chalakudi (Radhakrishnan and Kurup 2006), Periyar (Thomas 2004), Manimala (Thomas 2004), Achenkovil (Kurup et al. 2004), and Pampa (Thomas 2004). These localities however represent S. chalakkudiensis (A. Gopalakrishnan pers. comm.).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:India (Karnataka, Kerala)
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The total population of S. denisonii is unknown. However the species is considered to be rare (Radhakrishnan and Kurup 2006, Kurup and Radhakrishnan 2006). Studies conducted at Cochin University of Science and Technology have indicated that populations of S. denisonii has declined at a rate of 70% at key collection sites (Kurup and Radhakrishnan 2006). A recent ongoing study by the Conservation Research Group, St. Albert's College, Kochi has observed that the species is overfished in Valapatanam River (exploitation rate E = 0.596) in Kerala (Raghavan 2010). In another completed study by MPEDA, based on the secondary data collected from the collectors, the catch by the collectors increased from 2003 to 2007 in Valapattanam, Kuttiyadi, Chalayar and Chandragiri rivers (Mercy and Malika 2010).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|Sahyadria denisonii is a stream dwelling fish with an affinity towards rocky pools, edges with thick overhanging vegetation along its banks (Radhakrishnan 2006, Raghavan et al. 2009). However they have also been observed from a wide variety of riverine habitats including run, glide and riffles with sand, gravel, cobbles and boulders as substrates (Biju 2005). They are gregarious and often appear in shoals. The species is known to spawn during the North East Monsoon in the months of November-January (Manoj et al. 2010, R. Raghavan and A. Ali pers. obs.).
|Continuing decline in area, extent and/or quality of habitat:
|Use and Trade:
|Sahyadria denisonii is the most popular and highly priced freshwater ornamental fish of the Western Ghats. Of India's total live ornamental fish exports to the tune of 1.54 million US$ during 2007-2008, S. denisonii accounted for almost 60-65% (Mittal 2009). This colourful barb is so popular in the hobby that it has been requested in majority of the trade enquiries and exported regularly from India (Sekharan and Ramachandran 2006). The larger individuals of S. denisonii are also used as food fish by the local communities and tribes in the forest areas of Kerala (A. Ali and R. Raghavan pers. obs.). Captive bred S. denisonii are being exported from Indonesia and Singapore (Mittal 2009).
|Major Threat(s):
|Collection for the international aquarium pet trade is the single major threat to S. denisonii (Mittal 2009, Prasad et al. 2007). Harvest of 'yet to be mature' juveniles as well as brooders is a major concern as the fishery is unregulated and 'open access'. In addition, there is an on-going decline in habitat quality at prime habitats of S. denisonii due to pollution from plantations as well as domestic sources. Destructive fishing for larger food fish using dynamites and plant poisons also affect S. denisonii as they share habitats with the larger cyprinids.
|Conservation Actions:
To regulate the harvest and trade of this cyprinid, the Government of Kerala (India) has initiated management plans including fixing total allowable catch (TAC), restrictions on gear size, closed seasons. There are also plans to demarcate certain key S. denisonii habitats as sanctuaries and no take zones (Mittal 2009). Although the captive breeding technology for this species has been developed by both researchers and hobbyists (Manoj et al. 2010; Mathew 2008; Mercy et al. 2010), commercial scale operations have not started. There are reports that S. denisonii is being captive bred in Indonesia and Singapore and exported (Mittal 2009), but the impacts of such operations on the collection and exports from India is yet to be understood.
Life history studies on the species have been conducted by Radhakrishnan and Kurup (2008) and Harikrishnan et al. (2008) studied the population dynamics in \the rivers of Kerala. Distinct genetic stocks identified in Chandragiri, Valapattanam and Chaliyar rivers (Lijo unpublished PhD thesis, NBFGR).

Cash On The Barrelhead Lyrics
Artist: Charlie Louvin
Album: I'll Remember Always
Got in a little trouble at the county seat
Lord they put me in the jailhouse for loafing on the street
When the judge heard the verdict I was a guilty man
He said forty five dollars or thirty days in the can
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son you can make your choice you're twenty one
No money down no credit plan no time to chase you cause I'm a busy man
[ guitar ]
Found a telephone number on a laundry slip
I had a good hearted jailer with a six gun hip
He let me call long distance she said number please
And no sooner than I told her she shouted out at me
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son not parting cash but the entire sum
No money down no credit plan cause a little bird tells me you're a travelling man
[ guitar ]
Thirty days in the jailhouse four days on the road
I was feeling mighty hungry my feet a heavy load
Saw a greyhound coming stuck up my thumb
Just as I was being seated the driver caught my arm
That'll be cash on the barrelhead son this old grey dog is paid to run
When the engine stops and the wheels won't roll
Give me cash on the barrelhead I'll take you down the road

When Microsoft first unveiled their forthcoming Kinect motion-control accessory for the Xbox 360, one prominent feature they boasted about was the Kinect's ability to scan real-world objects to use in game. For example, a real skateboard could be used to pull off tricks in a theoretical Tony Hawk game, or a real plastic lightsaber used to slash through Star Wars stormtroopers.
It could be pretty neat, but the Kinect's director Kudo Tsunoda says not to expect that functionality to appear in any launch titles.
"We saw a little bit of that at E3 last year, but it's not stuff that we have in any of the launch games right now, and I think we're going to see a lot more games start using that as well as we go forward," Tsunoda said in an interview with Eurogamer.
Tsunoda then went on to say that while no current titles were using an Xbox 360 controller along with the Kinect's motion-control ability, he saw that as forthcoming in post-launch titles. Finally, Tsunoda acknowledged that while the Kinect was pretty bad at figuring out what hand gestures meant, he expected the software to get better over time at figuring it out… which may be difficult, given the Kinect's motion-capturing 640×480 webcam. Maybe that's why he suggests everyone move closer to the camera. "The closer you get to the sensor, you can actually get a pretty good reading on a hand motion," Tsunoda noted.

J.R.R. Tolkien's War in Middle Earth
Also available on: Amiga - Atari ST - Apple IIgs
Description of J.R.R. Tolkien's War in Middle Earth
Melbourne House jumped into the fray with its own ambitious strategy/RPG that puts you in control of a wide range of characters from Lord of the Rings, starting out as Frodo and his neighbors Sam and Pippin. Strategic elements include allocating armies (similar to Dune) and RPG-like combat, while the adventure portion follows the book quite closely.
Overall, an entertaining and solid adventure, if you can put up with its interface quirks.

This game is good, but I fucking hate its combat, I mean, the battles between armies are cool, but the individual characters are fucking wimpy pushovers.
Let's take Lords of Midnight (Both Lords of Midnight and War in Middle Earth were made by Mike Singleton) as an example, where each lord is a beast, some even killing 100 enemies troops in one day and they only die when their troops are completely dead, last man standing. There's even a dragon that can kill 400 enemy troops.
Now War in Middle Earth, in a defensive position as Minas Tirith, with a shit ton of soldiers defending it, and only 2000 mere orcs besieging it, the legendary wizard Gandalf... Is struck down in the first round, then Frodo... And Aragorn... Ugh, I hate this, it's like the game calculates the battle as if Gandalf is fighting the 2000 orcs ALONE, which fucking sucks and is probably how the calculations works. This game is awesome, but this bullshit put it off for me.
RRW 2017-09-10 -1 point Atari ST version
I had bought this game for my Atari ST for like $90 (which in the year 1989 is worth $177 in 2017, a 97.2% increase in prices.) Sadly for me it was the most I paid for a game that I really never played. I just couldn't get into it. For me, worst game purchase ever.

This game needs to run from C: otherwise it crashes/hangs after asking if you have a joystick.

I always wanted to try this game as a kid but never got around to it. It is quite dated for me now though. I might try it some other day.

I think this is the one where I just had all my troops and stuff abandon all the cities and let the AI play through the script. Then I marched everyone on Mordor and won the game while the AI armies sat on Minas Tirith. Haha

My Supremely Subjective Top Picks For Destination Wedding
Once newly engaged couples have run through my checklist of questions to help guide the honeymoon or destination wedding planning, they invariably throw up their hands and shout at me, "Alright, but you're the expert. Where would YOU go?"
That question has been coming up a lot lately since I inadvertently announced my own (re)engagement on my ABCityblog.com. While my partner whom I call Chef (his job) and I popped the question to each other over eight years ago, I insisted on waiting to get married until I could do it in a location that granted me important rights, like immigration status. Wouldn't you know that Mexico City — my partner's hometown — legalized gay marriage that conveyed citizenship? Really? Before the United States?
So here I am planning my own gay destination wedding and possible honeymoon.
Here then, in no particular order, are my picks for destinations that I have visited have come to love, and are on my consideration list — either for the engaging culture, impeccable hotels, or fantastic food.
Over the next several months, I'll be drilling down into each spot — re-visiting a few — and providing you with specific suggestions for your own getaway. In addition, I'll be providing tips on planning a taste-y destination wedding.
While these locales may not be everyone's cup of tea, perhaps the list will spark a few taste-y ideas. I'd love to hear if your favorite has been left off my list.
1/ Holland + Scandanavia. How can you not love a country whose ad campaign is "Everyone's Gay In Amsterdam?" The charming canals, gorgeous architecture and teeming gay and lesbian nightlife make this a perennial popular European destination. Recently it's become a center of organic food with farm-to-table restaurants sprouting up all over. Besides, the tulip makes a perfect wedding bouquet in a country that is pro-gay marriage. Other countries in the Scandanavian region are worth a look for their cutting edge approach to design and gay-marriage — Sweden was, after all, one of the first countries to legalize same sex weddings.
2/ Provincetown. Time again, I am completely charmed by this oasis at Land's End. The mix of restaurants, shops, and gay and straight tourists make this a little bit of summertime heaven. Grab a bike and plan your beachside nuptials in this idyllic getaway.
3/ Australia + New Zealand. It's a long way Down Under, and totally worth it. Sydney's beaches. Melbourne's food. South Australia's wines. And I'm just getting started. All that plus the friendliest folks on the planet. I wear my love for Australia on my sleeve — literally. The famed Opera House is tattoed on my arm. Not that New Zealand should play second fiddle to is brasher cousin. The wines in New Zealand are some of my favorite—and the scenery breathtaking. Plus it's got all kinds of adventure sports—it's the country that invented bungee jumping after all. The gayest flight I've ever been on was Air New Zealand's "Pink Flight" to Sydney's Mardi Gras with world famous drag queens as flight attendants!
4/ Washington DC. If you're even mildly interested in making a political statement or a history nut like me, then our nation's capital is the spot for you. To me, DC is having a renaissance of activity with gentrifying neighborhoods, standout new restaurants, and fantastic hotels like one of the 5 uber-gay friendly Kimpton Hotels in the area. Invite your local Congressman to your ceremony and make a real statement.
5/ Southeast Asia. You get a lot of bang for your buck in Thailand, Cambodia, Singapore, and Viet Nam. While gay marriage isn't legal, many of the countries court gay visitors with open arms. There are terrific gay owned and operated tour operators like Purple Dragon that help plan gay-friendly honeymoons and getaways.
6/ Canada. I'll admit it — I'm a late convert to the land of maple leaves where gay marriage is legal. But I changed my tune after a few trips to Montreal — great cuisine and hopping nightlife make it Paris without the jet lag. But the rest of the country is worth a trip as well. Cosmopolitan Toronto and Vancouver may be a continent apart, but they share a teeming immigrant community that make them fascinating destinations.
7/ Argentina. The first Latin American country to legalize gay marriage has so much going for it: the culture and food of Buenos Aires; the wine country of Mendoza; the adventures of Patagonia. Besides, what's sexier than the land of tango?
8/ British Virgin Islands. While the Caribbean isn't generally known as a super-gay friendly destination, there are hideaways worth a peek. My recent visit to Rosewood Little Dix Bay on Virgin Gorda convinced me gay and lesbian couples shouldn't overlook this gem with white sand beaches on a half moon bay. The '60s architecture is mod enough to make the characters of Mad Men feel at home.
9/ Hawaii. The spectacularly wonderful year-round weather make this an easy choice for many couples—despite the fact that the state voted down gay marriage. Spend some time matching your personality to the various islands — Maui is a great "starter" island, while Kauai is perfect for adventurers.
10/ South Africa. Until I was lucky enough to go on safari, I never understood why it was considered a "sexy" vacation. But there's something about all those wild animals and wilderness that gets you amped up. Pair it with some time in Cape Town and put this pro gay-marriage destination on your list.
11/ Spain. This gay-marriage destination seems to be on the cutting-edge of everything — architecture, food, and fun. Barcelona is my pick for a stylish city just a train ride away from gay beach getaway Sitges. Oh, but I've left out Valencia, Bilbao…much more later on one of my favorite countries.
12/ Mexico. I'm still amazed that Mexico City legalized gay marriage before the United States. Since that's my partner's hometown, looks like we'll be tying the knot in that sprawling metropolis. Consider uber gay Puerto Vallarta or the rebounding chic Acapulco for a classic beach holiday.
Okay, so other pro-gay marriage US destinations aren't on my list: Connecticut, Iowa, New Hampshire and Vermont. That's because I haven't traveled there frequently enough to make specific recommendations in upcoming columns. So if you're planning one there, invite me! If you have a business there that I should know about, write me! After all, I'm always up for a little more taste-y travel.

QUESTION: How does the procedure actually work?
A thin laser is inserted via a tiny entry point usually near the knee. Laser energy is then delivered to seal the faulty vein closed. Normal daily activities can usually be resumed and in fact we encourage patients to plan on taking a trip to the mall afterwards to do some walking and some shopping!
QUESTION: Is Venous Disease a hereditary disorder?
In a study involving 134 families, the risk of developing varicose veins was: 89% if both parents had varicose veins, 47% if one parent had varicose veins, and 20% if neither parent had varicose veins.
QUESTION: Is this loss of a vein a problem?
No. Once the diseased vein is closed, other healthy veins will take over and carry blood flow from the leg, re-establishing normal flow.
QUESTION: When should I be evaluated for venous disease?
If you experience symptoms of aching, pain, or swelling. If you are unable to tolerate compression stockings. If cosmetic improvement is requested. If there is a thickening or discoloration of the skin in the ankle region. If you have impending or active ulceration or bleeding veins. Please contact us for assistance.
QUESTION: What are the complications of this procedure?
VenaCure EVLA(TM), like all minimally invasive procedures, can potentially have some slight bruising, which commonly disappears within the first few weeks. With VenaCure EVLA(TM), you will feel a delayed tightness (or "pulling" sensation) 4-7 days after laser treatment which is normal and expected following a successful treatment.
All surgical procedures involve some element of risk and have the potential for complications. This should be balanced against the risk of complications if your varicose veins remain untreated. Other possible complications include eczema, skin discoloration and even severe skin ulceration which can be very difficult to treat.
Am I at risk from the laser?
You will be given a pair of special glasses to wear to protect your eyes, however this is just a precaution against accidental firing of laser energy outside the body.
QUESTION: What are the alternatives to this treatment?
Surgery (called 'Ligation & Stripping') is the traditional treatment, but it can be quite painful and often has a long recovery time. It is performed in a hospital, involves general anesthesia, leaves a scar, and has a fairly high recurrence rate (on average 10-25%).
Sclerotherapy has been used by some as an alternative but is generally only well suited for the smaller so called spider or reticular veins. It is generally considered unsuitable as a method of treatment for the larger "greater saphenous vein" that we treat here with the EVLA.
QUESTION: How successful is EVLA?
Clinical data with up to 5 years of followup show success rates of 93-98%. This is much higher than surgical ligation and stripping, radiofrequency electrosurgery, and injection sclerotherapy. Market researchers predict that, based on its superior efficacy and lower morbidity, endovenous laser treatment will soon become the new 'gold standard'.
QUESTION: How much does it cost?
VenaCure EVLA(TM), when medically necessary (e.g., for relief of symptoms), is usually fully reimbursed by most carriers (including Medicare).
QUESTION: What does a Great Saphenous insufficiency mean?
Great saphenous inefficiencies occur when skin changes are seen along the medial or lateral aspect of the ankle. The presence of skin changes is a proven predictor of future ulceration.
QUESTION: What are symptoms of chronic Venous Disease? Let our vascular specialist help you with any questions you may have.
Aching, fatigue, heaviness in legs, pain: throbbing, burning, stabbing, cramping, swelling (peripheral edema), itching, restless legs, and numbness have been known to occur in cases of Venous Disease.

Wednesday on KFSN, Fresno, CA's ABC affiliate, it morning show "Action News AM" ran a few seconds of a clip of former Gov Sarah Palin's (R-AK) discussing the minimum wage issue on her new online Sarah Palin Channel.
However, host Jason Oliveira described it in a very curious manner.
"Palin posted a bizarre rant on her new online channel," Oliveira said. "She mumbles about how much she thinks liberals hate fast food."
But it turned out the local ABC affiliate had only played an out-of-context cut from an almost nine minute video, which originated on the liberal blog The Daily Banter.
Oliverira, on the other hand, cast Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) as the hero, who was the subject of Palin's critique in the original video.
"Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren – who is fighting for more rights for low wage, fast food workers."
The larger point Palin was trying make was that while liberals often take up the cause for fast food workers and their wages, they often deride fast food establishment for providing foods they deem to be unhealthy.
The entire video, "A Conservative Response to Elizabeth Warren's Progressive Commandments," can be viewed in context at Palin's website.

Get Over 250 Recipes
The BE Living Cookbook
Probiotics aren't a health fad. They date back thousands of years to when humans first began intentionally fermenting foods.
Fermentation was once a way to preserve food. This is because the fermentation process keeps food (like cabbage or milk) from spoiling with active enzymes and beneficial bacteria. The texture and flavor did change a bit but this was also quite enjoyable. Humans love the sour taste and it should be included in our diet. Sour helps us resists sweets.
These days we know a little bit more about the microbiota—or probiotics—that make fermentation possible.
For example, we know that many of these bacteria and yeast promote health in many ways including educating and strengthening our immune system. Diabetes, allergies, autoimmune disorders, and even mental health disorders are more common than ever now. And many researchers believe that this is linked to a lack of diversity in the beneficial — or I prefer the term "mutualistic" — microbiota living in the gut.
Unfortunately, the most beneficial fermented foods have never been a part of the American diet and if you do want to eat them you have to purchase them in a cutting edge health food store or make them at home. The loss of traditional fermented foods coupled with a diet rich in processed, refined foods means that the average person is walking around with an imbalanced gut and is vulnerable to disease. Actually all diseases, including cancer, heart disease, arthritis, diabetes and Hashimoto autoimmune disease, begin in the gut.
The solution is to bring back fermented foods. Make them a regular part of every meal and you too will soon begin to realize what the recent buzz about fermentation is all about.
Fermented Vegetables May Be a Fantastic New Food For You
At Body Ecology, we have long advocated the use of fermented vegetables. They actually have certain benefits over just taking a probiotic supplement. The most important benefit is that fermented vegetables have more microbial bio-diversity.
To explain this in more detail, imagine that you want to ferment these five vegetables: cabbage, carrots, garlic, onion and ginger.
Each of these vegetables grew in a field and from the very beginning of its life the vegetable was covered in beneficial bacteria. These bacteria formed a sophisticated "symbiotic relationship" with each other as the plant grew.
When you bring those vegetables into your kitchen, cut them up and ferment them you are eating an amazing diversity of beneficial bacteria as well as the wonderful "wisdom" of Nature".
Using A Probiotic Starter Culture
In order to create a consistently successful batch of fermented vegetables Body Ecology recommends using a starter culture. Starter cultures speed up the fermentation process. Basically they jump-start the fermentation instead of waiting for the resident — aka endogenous — microbiota to begin colonizing the vegetables.
The probiotics in Body Ecology Culture Starter have been selected to protect and improve the health of your gut. For example, Lactobacillus plantarum produces folate, is resistant to many antibiotics, is anti-viral and has been shown to inhibit histamine and other "biogenic amines" like putrescine, tyramine and cadaverine that form in the gut. Purtrescine? Cadaverine? Just seeing the names of these biogenic amines you can tell immediately that you don't want them forming in your gut, but unfortunately they do.
Some people have a "histamine reaction" when they eat fermented foods so they avoid them. But reacting to fermented foods is a "symptom" telling you to look for a "root cause" to the problem. The root cause of a histamine reaction to fermented vegetables, for example, is usually a pathogen growing in the large or small intestine. The pathogen is causing a gut infection that must be treated under the care of a functional medicine doctor.
Histamine, under normal circumstances, is a molecule that helps regulate digestion and brain function. But Histamine out of balance can cause a lot of misery including gas, bloating and pain, a flushing to the face, hives, irritable bowel syndrome and other more serious conditions. Histamine is also found in aged, cured, fermented and cultured and spoiled foods. Having a healthy gut along with the added protection of L. plantarum preventing histamine formation is a real plus for all of us.

A Japanese telecommunications giant reports its worst loss ever, while a midsize auto maker posts a strong profit.
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, Japan's largest telecommunications carrier, posted a record loss for the past fiscal year. The company lost $6.4 billion. That is the worst loss ever for a Japanese company outside of the financial sector.
The news was widely expected after NTT issued a profit warning last month. The telecom giant blames its poor numbers on restructuring costs and overseas investments that have fared badly.
NTT president Junichiro Miyazu says "NTT slashed domestic calling prices and that business conditions are bad."
The company also unveiled a management shakeup. Senior Executive Vice President Norio Wada takes the helm in June.
Nippon Telegraph and Telephone's rival, KDDI, reports a steep fall in profit for the last business year. Japan's second-largest telecommunications company saw net profit fall 40-percent, to $100 million. Heavy competition and a one-time charge for scrapping some outdated equipment caused the slump.
For the next year, KDDI expects profits to more than triple. It forecasts a strong performance by its mobile phone business, which recently launched what are called next generation services. It has attracted more than 300,000 subscribers with the new services.
Mazda, Japan's fifth-biggest auto maker, returned to profit in the most recent fiscal year and says it expects better results next year. Its earnings for the fiscal year ending in March totaled $69 million. It has just completed an aggressive two-year restructuring plan that included more than 2,000 lay-offs. Last year, the company booked a loss.
Mazda, which is one-third owned by Ford of the United States, says favorable exchange rates and cost cutting are behind its strong results. Two other Japanese car makers, Toyota and Mitsubishi, also reported strong profits earlier this week.

The Dutch have spoken in unprecedented numbers (80% turnout) and the final result is gradually becoming clear. Now is the time for analysis on Twitter or with colleagues around the coffee machine. Consultancy firm GKSV, in collaboration with Public Cinema, created an infographic, which offers insights into likely scenario's and how the process of coalition building will take shape in the coming months. You can find the infographic attached.
Three main observations, based on preliminary results.
- Leader of the populist party PVV, Geert Wilders, has not lived up to expectations and previous polls. Although the PVV became the second party and gained 5 seats, the party leader and the followers were – as in the campaign – barely visible. Due to the high expectations, it is a Pyrrhic victory for the PVV.
- The former coalition 'Rutte II' is severely punished, but the Liberals still come out on top. While the current government of VVD (Conservative Liberals) and PvdA (Social Democrats) could rely on 79 seats in 2012, they now only have a joined 42. The VVD is still the largest party however – with 33 seats – and is celebrating. The penalty ended up with the PvdA, who lost a historic 29 seats. This means the smallest fraction in the history of the party will join the opposition to lick their wounds.
- The Christian Democrats (CDA) and Progressive Liberals (D66) have positioned themselves as solid middle parties with these result. They will be hard to ignore for Rutte, party leader of the VVD. For a majority in the House of Representatives however, a fourth party will be necessary. That can either be the Green Party (Groenlinks) or Socialist Christians (Christenunie). For the VVD and CDA, the Christenunie is the more appealing party: smaller and ideologically closer. For D66, Groenlinks would be the better pick, because their positions overlap significantly. Big winner Jesse Klaver (Groenlinks, +10 seats), will be a logical choice for a seat at the table.
What will the possible coalitions look like and what does that mean for the most important issues facing the Netherlands right now. Check out our infographic.

text: Nemacolin Woodlands Resort keeps it cleanThe resort constructs a wash pad facility that is both environmentally friendly and low maintenance.Brian D. Anderson, director of turfgrass managementNemacolin Woodlands Resort, Farmington, Pa.Published date: August 2006 Nemacolin Woodlands Resort, an exclusive resort in the mountains of southwest Pennsylvania, recently constructed a new maintenance complex. We worked with Carbtrol Corp., a Connecticut-based wastewater recycling company, to custom design a wash water recycling system to fit our needs. Austin Shepherd, vice president and engineer of the project, worked with designers to determine the best fit for our company. After several meetings and revisions we finally began constructing our water recycling system. Wash water recycling The system is a simple, but well-engineered unit that offers unlimited water availability, removal of solids, hydrocarbons, and turf chemicals using EPA-recommended Best Available Technology. Our wash water recycling system uses chemical and physical treatment technology that isn't disrupted by temperature, pH, or shock loads of pesticides. It uses carbon and sand filters in conjunction with safe pool chemicals to create a wash water system that has the option to be zero discharge and 100-percent recycled wash water. View our wash water recycling system. Personalizing our wash water recycling system We added a few unique items to our wash water recycling unit to ensure that it was environmentally safe. Our facility has more than 38,000 square feet under roof which results in a lot of water drainage. The Carbtrol system was used to catch and recycle all of the floor drains in our 8,000 square foot mechanics shop, and our 20,000 square foot equipment storage building. This was done in case we ever had a fuel or hydraulic oil spill. Any liquid that touches the floor in either facility is washed down the drain, pumped to the Carbtrol system, treated, and used to wash our turf equipment. We also added a car wash. It works just like your everyday, run of the mill, high-pressure car wash. Through the use of phosphorus free soaps (they are fast breaking and don't create big foams) we can keep our turf equipment and vehicles looking brand new. Recycled water is used to wash equipment and vehicles. Wash water recycling concerns Before this installation, I'd heard horror stories about recycling systems, most of those stories focusing on system maintenance. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized the system that we have is very low maintenance. On average it takes one person 5-10 minutes a day to keep it running smoothly. The biggest issue is training the staff to maintain the grass-clipping cart to ensure that the clippings are not overflowing from the trailer. The grass cart requires the most attention. It is where all of the larger particles are removed from the water and screened out for removal either to a compost pile or waste dump. The time invested in keeping the cart clean depends on the quantity of machines cleaned and the volume of grass from those machines. We usually dump the cart one or two times a day. Benefits Nemacolin Woodlands Resort has benefited greatly from the installation of this wash water recycling system. Public perception has improved too. The public now views the golf facility as an environmentally conscious property and as a positive influence on the local environment. We don't discharge any wash water into local streams. Grass clippings are washed down the drain to float through the resort's wastewater system. We reuse our wash water at the 100 percent mark. We now operate more efficiently thanks to the layout and design of our new system. All equipment washing and cleaning takes place on a large pad (covered from the elements) that can accommodate up to four fairway mowers at a time. All hoses are stored on retractable reels that are mounted to the wall so that there are no tripping hazards or hoses laying everywhere covered in grass clippings. Since we work in a covered structure, on rain days we can scrub and wax our equipment so that it will last longer, look new, and have a better resale or trade in value. The investment made in the wash water recycling system was a great one. We took the initiative to become more environmentally steward before wash water recycling becomes a legal requirement. As we move into the future, and guidelines for all facets of golf course maintenance become more stringent, we know we are doing everything we can to promote golf and the environment.

Pembroke Welsh Corgi, one of two Corgi breeds, was first recognized as
the smallest of the American Kennel Club's Herding group in 1934. The
Pembroke Welsh Corgi's history is can be traced back to the 10th
century, making it a very old breed of canine. Not to be confused with
its close relative, the Cardigan Welsh Corgi, the Pembroke Welsh Corgi
is a friendly and jovial dog breed that makes a great family pet.
Telling the difference between the two for the common person can most
easily be achieved by the tails of the Corgi. The Pembroke Welsh Corgi
will most always have a docked tail, while the Cardigan will have a full
tail. The Cardigan is also a bit larger, and has larger ears. The
Pembroke Welsh Corgi will generally have a coat color of red, sable,
fawn, or black and tan. The Cardigan Welsh Corgi can have coat colors
that are red, sable, brindle, black and blue merle. The word Corgi in
the Welsh language means "Dwarf Dog", which definitely works given the
Corgis small stature. However, they are surely not short on personality
as they are energetic and fun dogs. Pembroke Welsh Corgis have been the
preferred breed of the British Royal family for over 70 years, as Queen
Elizabeth II herself has owned over 30 Pembroke Welsh Corgis during her
reign as Queen.
When purchasing a lovable Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy it is essential to be aware of all characteristics of this breed. Looking for a puppy to bring into your family is an exciting process, but having the knowledge of what to expect with any dog is the key to successful integration into your family. A puppy is a huge commitment, so being knowledgeable about how to train and care for your Pembroke Welsh Corgi puppy is particularly valuable.
Thank you for taking the time to learn about the sweet and jovial Pembroke Welsh Corgi. You can take a look at our available puppies to view all of our Pembroke Welsh Corgi Puppies for Sale!

* Telenet 2012 revenues beat forecasts
* Results released early, ahead of Liberty's bid deadline
* Liberty's 35 euros per share offer closes on Friday
* Telenet shares up 0.3 pct, above the offer price
* Telenet 2012 revenues beat forecasts
* Results released early, ahead of Liberty's bid deadline
* Liberty's 35 euros per share offer closes on Friday
* Telenet shares up 0.3 pct, above the offer price
BRUSSELS, Jan 10 (Reuters) - Stronger-than-expected revenues
at Belgian cable firm Telenet have increased the
pressure on U.S. shareholder Liberty Global to raise
its 1.96 billion euro ($2.6 billion) bid to take full control of
the business.
Telenet shares were up 0.3 percent at 35.35 euros in
Thursday afternoon trading, above Liberty's offer of 35 euros
and signalling investors are hopeful of a better deal.
"It looks as if Liberty will have to increase its bid," said
KBC Securities analyst Tom Simonts.
Liberty's offer is due to end on Friday. The U.S.-based
cable group, which already owns 50.1 percent of Telenet, has
said in the past it would not raise its bid.
Telenet unexpectedly released a trading update late on
Wednesday, saying its 2012 revenues rose by 8.2 percent to 1.49
billion euros, beating analysts' average forecast of 1.48
billion and company guidance for growth of 7-8 percent.
KBC's Simonts said the figures would boost confidence in
Telenet's forecast for revenue growth of 10-11 percent this
year, which in turn could merit a higher bid price.
"The 2013 guidance makes for a valuation model out of which
we deduce a valuation of 39 euros," he said.
Telenet, which was due to release full-year results on Feb.
27, said its 2012 profits had risen in line with its forecasts.
The guidance for 2013 implies revenues of between 1.64
billion euros and 1.65 billion euros. That's as much as 5
percent more than 1.58 billion currently forecast on average by
23 banks and brokerages polled by Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.
Liberty dropped a clause from its original bid that it must
get at least 95 percent acceptances, so the bid will proceed
even if it falls well short of that level.
Justifying its bid price, Liberty has questioned growth
forecasts for 2012-2018 prepared by Telenet's management.
Liberty says they are overly optimistic about Telenet's
fledgling mobile business, see only a limited impact of
regulation and rely on growth in later years.
However, to achieve its goal of increasing its control of
the company, Liberty may end up having to purchase more shares.
In December, Norges Bank Investment Management, which holds
said it would not tender its shares.

T.E.A.C.H.: Teachers Exploring American Culture and History
The Montcalm consortium schools are located in a rural central Michigan region that faces persistent challenges, including academic underachievement, poverty, substance abuse, significant achievement gaps and high failure rates on American history achievement tests. Each year, 32 teachers from high-need, low-performing schools will attend two 3-day workshops taught by a team of academic/pedagogy experts from the Smithsonian Institution and a credit-bearing, weeklong summer institute taught by professors from the Central Michigan University history and education departments; in Years 2 and 4, the teachers will participate in summer learning excursions to Washington, D.C., to study with university historians, museum educators and content specialists at the Smithsonian Institution and other historic sites. Teachers from each participating school will attend peer-education forums every two months to explore teacher-identified topics, lesson plan development, modeling and peer education. The project will explore how culture and history have intertwined to shape and steer the American experience and the values and beliefs that define our national identity. Partnerships with the Smithsonian Institution, Central Michigan University and local historic sites/organizations will give the project teachers an opportunity to better understand the social and political conflicts, events and conditions that expanded civil rights, promoted the protection of personal freedom and encouraged the growth of democratic values throughout U.S. history. The project will produce a Web portal for archiving lesson plans, primary sources and material from workshops, seminars and institute lectures. A blog will allow teachers to share best practices and seek advice from peers regarding classroom challenges and content topics.

What canoes do we use?
We use 2 man fiberglass Indian Mohawks.
How do Mohawks differ from crocs?
The Mohawks are faster and more maneuverable; in a headwind they are much easier. They are also more comfortable and can carry more equipment.
What grade is the river?
The river is grade 1 and 2; this means nothing too big and scary – suitable for the entire family.
Will there be a guide to paddle me or my child?
The guides allocated to your trip will have a lot of equipment to carry so we cannot guarantee they can fit an extra person in their boat. Should you feel you definitely need someone to paddle you down please inform us when you book, and there may be an extra charge for this service. Please note this service is not available in season (Easter, September school holidays, December).
Where do we sleep?
You sleep out in the open in tents; under the stars. Due to the wilderness nature of the trip there are no permanent structures any of the campsites.
Where do I go to the toilet?
Each trip takes a portaloo on river with them. This will be set up each night, and we use a paddle to indicate whether it is engaged or not. This will be explained to you upon arrival.
Can I have a shower?
You can have a shower on the first night at our base camp, and when you return to the camp on the last day. Whilst on river, you are able to bathe (using bio-degradable soap) every evening.
What is the weather like?
From November to the end of March it can be very hot (over 40 degrees c). A good hat and sun block is imperative, as well as plenty drinking water. April, May, Sept, and Oct should be a little cooler. But still be prepared for the sun. June, July and August, temperatures are usually in the 20's during the day, with cooler evenings and nights. You also need to take precautions from the sun, but also need warm clothes for the evenings. It can be colder during the day, so take a light windbreaker.
Does it ever rain?
It is not common but it does sometimes rain, especially in the winter months.
Who carries all my gear?
You carry all your own personal gear in your canoe with you. Felix guides will carry the rest.
How do I keep it waterproof?
We will provide you with 3 x 25 litre buckets between 2 people. Generally you share one bucket for both sleeping bags, and then have one each for your personal gear. These buckets are waterproof as long as they are closed properly. The guides will give you your buckets on arrival and explain to you how to close them & secure them to your canoe.
Do I need to have paddling experience?
No you don't need any paddling experience; your guides will give you a full briefing on how to paddle.
Are the guides qualified?
All our lead guides are qualified through the African Paddling association.
How many guides will be on my trip?
Each trip will be led by a qualified and experienced guide. He will be assisted by a number of junior guides, with varying levels of experience and qualifications. We generally allocate 1 guide to every 10 guests.
Can I get cell phone reception on river?
What happens in the case of an accident?
All our lead guides are qualified in first aid, and carry a first aid kit with them. In the case of an emergency, as with any wilderness adventure, the guide will have to make his way to a phone and call for assistance from there.
Can I drink the river water?
Although the river water is clean and you cannot catch any diseases from it, we do not recommend you drink it. We do recommend that you bring at least 3 litres of liquid per person per day.
How do I carry that amount of cool drink? What about my beers?
Each canoe has a cooler box for your drinks and water. We meet you on the second day on river to refill your cooler box with ice.
Can my wife just join us at night in the camp?
Unfortunately there are only 2 access points on the river. One where you re-supply on day 2, and one where you take out.
How many hours a day will we paddle?
This really depends on the group. Some people paddle a lot faster than others.
However in general you will paddle for about 6 hours a day, 3 hours in the morning and 3 in the afternoon.
What time will we have lunch/stop in the evening?
Again, this depends very much on the group; your guide will decide when to stop. Generally lunch will be between 12 midday and 2pm. There are so many variants, such as the time everyone gets up in the morning, if the group wants to float or paddle hard, etc.
What is the minimum and maximum age limits?
We do not advise taking children younger than 8 years of age. There is no maximum age limit, though obviously you have to be relatively fit to do this trip.
What time will we get back to camp on the last day?
In general you should be back at the camp between 11am and 3 pm on the last day.
Will we travel into the Richtersveld National Park?
Yes you do but the scenery is so fantastic throughout the trip, it is not really a significant moment when we get into the park.
Will I see any wildlife?
You will see plenty of wonderful birdlife and perhaps a vervet monkey, or baboon. There are mountain zebra, small buck and leopard in the mountains, but you are highly unlikely to see them.
What time of year will the river be at its highest?
The river is dam controlled so flows throughout the year. However, as it relies on the summer rainfall areas of the country for its water, it should be at its highest in March/April.
I used to be able to get into Namibia with an id book.
This is no longer possible, you require a passport.
GPS Co-ordinates?
What do I bring?

What does Felix Unite supply?
