What Should Be Account-Wide?

Here is my list.
Obviously, we already know we are getting account based pets, mounts, achievements, and titles. We know decently how the achievements will work.
When it comes to mounts, keep all the restrictions. You have to be a Paladin to ride the Charger, you have to be Horde to ride the Dire Wolves, and you need to be an Engineer to ride the Flying Machine. I just think this is fair. Now obviously if you have two of the same class, and one has a class specific mount and the other does not (example, the Argent Charger) then it should be open to the second Paladin that didn't have it originally.
Now for the new stuff.
Reputation - Let's be honest here, Reputations rewards were designed as a way for characters to get some decent items to help bridge the gap between normal dungeons and heroics dungeons. The issue, even more so with MoP, is that it's often easier to just jump into heroics and buy Justice gear rather then grind out a reputation, so after a patch or two the reputation rewards for the most part become useless. The only time you ever want to grind out a reputation is for the shoulder/head enchants, and most of those are account tradeable anyways. By making it account based, it can better do it's job for alts and wouldn't be overpowering (most reputation gear is mediocre after the first content patch, so it's not like having it's going to make your alt a golden god.)
Secondary Skills - As I am on the fence about professions, I decided to focus on the ones I think should be account based no matter what, Secondary Skills. Let's face it, Cooking, First Aid, Fishing, and Archaeology can all be time consuming and boring as hell. Great way to fix this? Just make them account based. I wouldn't mind leveling fishing if I knew I only had to do it once. Archaeology might even get more usage since your characters will more quickly get to the races you care about. If they are worried about losing it as a money sink, keep the fact you have to BUY the skills. Example, I have a 525 Cook. I make a new character and learn cooking, his cooking skill is automatically 75 and I can now buy all the recipes in that level range, however I can't buy the 150 skill until I reach the proper level, at which point I learn that and my skill jumps up to 150, so on and so forth till I get to my max on my other character (525).
Heirlooms - This one is difficult to do properly, since it would require some method of cross-realm mailing in the current form. I was trying to consider ways to alter the system to make it work without mailing, and I think the best way might be to turn them into some type of passive buffs. Basically, when you buy the "heirloom" rather then giving an item, it flags your account so that new characters gain a buff that lasts the proper level range, and gets more powerful as you level. This will do two things, First, it will make it so we actually get to use some of those quest rewards again, you know, the ones that we were constantly selling or throwing in storage for transmog because the heirlooms were always better for the slot. Second, it will make it so you don't have to play the trade game around characters just because you change the alt you want to focus on. The only downside is this change is the buffs might have to be more expensive, and since we will be getting the buff with equip-able items, the buffs themselves will have to be slightly weaker (having a full lvl 70 PVP set and all the heirloom buffs at the stat level they are now would be a bit overpowered.)
Currency - People seem to hate this idea, and I don't really understand it. I earned all those Marks, all those Justice Points, all that Conquest. Who cares if I decide to use the 4000 JP sitting worthlessly on my decked out Mage if I can make it useful for my recently dinged Druid? Why is that so bad? If we need to have a limiter on it, fine, let's keep it server limited, but at least let me use it.
Tabards - This seems to be hard for them to do, something about how they can't get tabards with special effects (rep gain, click-cast muscle flexing, etc.), but why not just leave those alone? Let me explain... Make a new "tabard browser" that pops up when you click the tabard slot, and you can pick any tabard design you want from the tabards you have "learned" (aka, WORN), and it will overwrite the design of the one you are wearing, just like what transmog does. What does this mean? Well, after I am done gaining Stormwind reputation, I can toss the tabard itself and just use the browser to get the Stormwind look. If I want to keep the "click-cast" ability of my Protectors Tabard, I just wear that tabard and apply, say, the Hand of Argus tabard over it because I prefer that design. Why not do it this way rather then trying to revamp it? I don't mind keeping a few tabards in my bank for click-cast bonuses, I keep much worst in there.
There are a few other things I would love to see at the account level, but I don't know how well it would work. Example, I would love RIDING SKILL to be account based, so I wouldn't have to fork out the thousands of gold for each character. However, I realize that is an important money sink, so I may just have to let it go.

New Coke CEO's magic moment
Kent's key test came when the fall of the Berlin Wall created new opportunities for Coke.
NEW YORK (Fortune) -- Every great leader has a crucible - a critical moment that will either make or break a career. For Muhtar Kent, who has emerged as the next CEO of Coca-Cola, that key test came nearly two decades ago when the Berlin Wall fell and major markets suddenly opened for Western-based businesses.
Kent was a hotshot international operator working for Neville Isdell, whom he is now, at 55, positioned to succeed. To get a glimpse of what made Kent a great leader, it's worth looking back at what Fortune said about him at the time.
This is an excerpt from "The World's Best Brand," a May 31, 1993 cover story by former Fortune managing editor John Huey, who is now Time Inc.'s editor-in-chief:
... Muhtar Kent - a hard-charging Turk who, under Isdell, oversees a territory of 21 countries between the Alps and Himalayas inhabited by a quarter of a billion potential Coke drinkers - is off to Sofia, Bulgaria, and possibly on to Albania to stir up some per capitas. Right now Isdell and Kent are clearly among the most golden of the company's golden boys. An independent market survey showed that during last year's fourth quarter Coke had taken the market share lead in every Eastern European country, a region where Pepsi basically held exclusive rights under the communist regimes. For the year, Pepsi still maintained leads in several countries. Coke strategists can barely contain their excitement over Muhtar Kent's territory, mostly because per capitas have grown from 20 to 31 in just two years. By 2000, he projects with relish, per capita will reach 71. In Hungary today per capita is already 83, close to the per capita eight years ago in Austria, which is now more than 150. Coke hopes the Czech Republic falls right into this line of growth. The model can't, of course, anticipate instability in such places as Bosnia-Herzegovina. [CEO Roberto] Goizueta believes the sophistication and progress he sees on this trip underscore a major change: "We used to be an American company with a large international business," he says. "Now we are a large international company with a sizable American business."
Fifteen years and several CEOs later, Coke (Charts, Fortune 500) has lost a lot of its swagger. But Kent's aggressive action in those important markets has paid off. Annual per-capita consumption of Coke products there have boomed - from 23 to 83 eight-ounce servings in Poland, from 104 to 200 in Hungary, from two to 62 in Russia. Coke still leads Pepsi in these markets. Now as the new CEO, Kent just needs to get people drinking that much Coke all around the world.

A man who was left paralysed after contracting an infection during spinal surgery has received over £2,000,000 in compensation to fund a life time of care.
After being diagnosed with a chronic degenerative spinal condition, David was admitted to hospital to undergo an operation to remove a vertebra from his neck. Unfortunately, as a result of the operation David developed an infection which meant he required a second operation.
During the second operation, David suffered an injury to his spinal cord, which left him almost completely paralysed. Investigations showed that that the injury David suffered was a rare but unavoidable risk of the second operation. However, it was proved that David's neurosurgeons were negligent in failing to give him antibiotics at the time of his first operation. If this had been done, he would not have developed the infection; would not have required another operation; and would not have suffered his injury.
As a result of the injury sustained in the operation, David was unable to care for himself and his disabled wife so he was forced to move into a nursing home. The nursing home was some distance from his home and therefore his wife was unable to make regular visits to see him due to ill health.
The hospital trust finally admitted liability for David's injuries after court proceedings were initiated. An initial offer of £150,000 was proposed by the defendants, as they argued that David was not well enough to be cared for in his own home and should remain in the nursing home for the rest of his life, with his wife only able to visit him from time to time.
However, with thanks to Irwin Mitchell solicitors, an out of court settlement was reached which will mean David will now receive a combination of a lump sum payment and annual periodical payments, of more than £2,000,000.
This money will allow David to buy a single storey house, which he can have adapted to suit his needs; and to employ full-time carers to look after him. He will now be able to live with his wife again after over 5 years of living apart.

The White House's "We the People" website is a wonderful part of the web where people from across this great nation can have their voices heard. So what better to petition the White House about but Tim Tebow's status as an unemployed football player? As of this morning 126 fans had signed a petition entitled, "Call NFL Jacksonville Jaguars GM David Caldwell and tell him to stop ignoring the Jaguars fans and sign Tim Tebow!" Unfortunately, The White House found the petition to be a violation of the terms of Terms of Participation and removed it. Here is the original text:
Jacksonville Jaguars fans want the team to sign recently released QB Tim Tebow. However, rookie general manager for the Jacksonville Jaguars David Caldwell is blocking this from happening. If the Jaguars sign & START Tebow, home games will be sold out, sales will spike, the team will win and the fans will be happy.Mr. Caldwell is ignoring lots of facts about the misunderstood Tim Tebow while in Denver: Passer rating of 125.6 is highest ever in Broncos postseason history. Most yards per completion (31.6) in NFL playoff history.100.5 QB rating is best ever for a Broncos QB in his first start.Third most passing yards in a game by a Bronco rookie QB. (308, in his 2nd start), First 15+ point comeback in the final 3 minutes of an NFL game since the merger,7 game winning drives in just 16 games!
Thanks a lot, Obama! Now where is Tebow going to play? I guess the current administration is more interested in this petition: Attend a Major League Ultimate game, see how Ultimate Frisbee is helping to guide our youth and do the coin toss. It's not like Obama couldn't call the Jaguars during the Ultimate game, bro.

Unlocking phone
Any reasons why i should unlock my phone? I have at&T. what are the pros and cons behind it
only reasons I can think of to unlock are if you are changing carriers, would like to use a SIM from a local carrier while overseas, or to make it easier to sell.
there's really no downside
cool thanks im leaving it alone then
Well there are many many benefits to unlocking your phone. I discuss 6 of most important in my eBook on benefits of unlocked phones, you can get it FREE at globalunlock.com - Official Mobile Phone Unlocking Site, you will see where to get it on the right side.
Any other questions, posts here or contact me.
The only downside is, AT&T will no longer "officially" support your phone, and any issues that arise, they *may* blame on your device being unlocked. The only real benefit is to use any SIM card you want in your device.

Former leader of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (JVP) Somawansa Amarasinghe, said as nomination list of the United National Front for Good Governance (UNFGG) will be finalized by Sunday (July 12) and described it as a 'third force' opposed to the policies of both the United People's Freedom Alliance (UPFA) and the United National Party (UNP).
Speaking to The Nation, Amarasinghe further stated that the platform they were on was against the return of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa. He said the front was not formed against incumbent President Maithripala Sirisena and that he was welcome to join their alliance as and when the opportune time comes.
However, Amarasinghe emphatically ruled out contesting the General Election under the elephant symbol of the UNP as they were opposed to the policies of both the main parties. "That would be impossible," he said, when asked if he could contest the election with the UNP.

ICAP CEO Spencer Not a 'Super Pessimist' on European Debt Crisis
ICAP Plc (IAP) Chief Executive Officer Michael Spencer comments on efforts to curb the euro debt crisis and Greece. Spencer spoke in an interview at ICAP during a charity fund-raising event in his London offices.
On efforts to control the region's debt crisis and whether Greece should leave the euro region:
"I'm not a member of the super-pessimist club. I think there is the will and the capacity for them to reach a sufficient agreement where the euro will hold together. I don't believe the euro will fall apart. We need this for the economy, not only for the U.K., but globally."
"Personally, I think it would be in Greece's own interest to leave the euro. It's my personal opinion, and I appreciate there are those who disagree with that, but I think they face a long, long recession if they remain within the euro, whereas if they leave the euro there would admittedly be a very painful adjustment, but it would be short and it would be sharp."
On European Union plans for a financial-transaction tax:
"The financial-transaction tax is a deeply bad economic idea by the way. Certainly, the City of London would be decimated by the financial-transaction tax and there is no question of whether the U.K. should have anything to do with it at all. I am against it."

One of the many Turkish holiday charters Nov 27, 2010
The first time I went on a holiday to Turkey I was on a Sky airplane. The thing I remember about this flight is that is was a smoking flight, you couldn't see the end of the aircraft. Service was friendly though. Nowadays Sky is a much seen holiday charter airline throughout Europe. Nothing more, but definitely nothing less.

Sky Airlines Mar 24, 2008
My two experiences with Sky were horrible. on the way to Turkey, my seat was in a leaning position, not able to be put up. The tray did not fold out, but flapped all the way down. The seating row behind was not completely broken and free. We were sitting across the restroom and the smell was horrible. First time I was motionsick on a flight ever.
On the way back - we called to confirm times, like we were supposed to. However, the flight has already left - and quite a few of us were stranded at the airport- Unfortunately for me, the others were in a group tour, so they were taking care off. me and another woman were stuck though and Sky did not help us at all, until we really started making a racket. they told us we had to wait 3 days for the next available flight. after lots of arguing we finally were put on a flight to Munich, were we were supposed to be helped by another person from SKY - when we arrived in Munich, we were sent from counter to counter to finally find out there is not even a customer representative to take care of us. we ended up paying 450Euro to get home at all. After giving the case to a lawyer, they reimbursed me 200 Euro - supposedly I could have taken a train (at midnight, with two children, I was not about to go on a train from Munich to Frankfurt).
when my mom booked she did not pay attention to my concerns, as her last flight with SKY was pleasant. For her, the same thing. In her words "oh my God, I thought this plane will fall apart." For my family - never again.

The Reconcilement
COME, let us now resolve at last
To live and love in quiet;
We'll tie the knot so very fast
That Time shall ne'er untie it.
The truest joys they seldom prove
Who free from quarrels live:
'Tis the most tender part of love
Each other to forgive.
When least I seem'd concern'd, I took
No pleasure nor no rest;
And when I feign'd an angry look,
Alas! I loved you best.
Own but the same to me-you'll find
How blest will be our fate.
O to be happy-to be kind-
Sure never is too late!

Vegetables That Stand Up to a Busy Life
By KAY RENTSCHLER
Published: March 30, 2005
I ADORE vegetables, as long as someone else cooks them. Vegetable prep is a nuisance. Wash, dry, peel, pluck, trim: the sheer organic refuse is staggering before you even start cooking. Then you have to blanch, shock, dry, reheat or delve into the splattering inferno of stir-fry.
Compared with all this, a pork chop practically cooks itself. Give me a slab of iceberg and a bottle of ranch.
Trouble is, when those ubiquitous ''they'' people tell us to eat vegetables, they are not talking about lettuce. They are talking about vegetables wired with free-radical scavengers to repair the damage our cells sustain through oxidation. They are talking the family of pigments called carotenoids and flavonoids. They're talking sulfur compounds. They're talking broccoli and cauliflower.
Broccoli and cauliflower were kicked around for years before anyone decided to have fun with them. For a while broccoli lay spent and lifeless, then went irritably crisp. Cauliflower paid for its pallor and assertiveness under decades of Mornay. As one too lazy to fuss with vegetables, I resolved to take these steam table classics and render them quick, painless and fab.
As a primary dividend, broccoli and cauliflower come compact and easy to rinse. They do not harbor sand or bugs. They do not bruise if you tear them wrong, and they do not demand careful drying. They have nice little cut-on-the-dotted-line contours.
Beautiful vegetable cookery begins with the proper cut; how you plan to cook the vegetable determines that cut. I wanted to cook mine quickly (avoiding the blanch cycle) and sought to keep things small. The natural size of the florets and stems in broccoli and cauliflower were simply too large and disinclined to cook at the same rate. A typical solution would be to chop off the stems and let the florets roll about on the plate. But by bisecting larger stem and floret pieces down to smaller ones, I was left with beautiful, graceful shapes -- both stem and floret attached -- that cooked quickly and evenly.
In my opinion the nicest cooking technique for small, less than supremely tender vegetables uses a touch of water first to steam them over high heat, then a touch of fat to saut?ome flavor into them. The operative phrase here is high heat. While restaurant stoves have two settings, high and off, many home cooks do their cooking in the mid-range. This means vegetables stay in the pan too long.
The recipes here advance at high speed with admirable results. I did not just want perfectly cooked vegetables. I wanted vegetables with some aromatic bounce. To flavor the broccoli, I toasted garlic slivers in olive oil until sweet and nutty, added oyster sauce to round the edges, then a rustle of sesame seeds and a wisp of orange to pull the whole thing into focus. I tossed the cauliflower with minced apples and shallots and warmed all three with browned butter, sherry and nutmeg, flavors that work cooperatively with other tastes on a plate. Either dish enhances a basic chop or fillet.
So be good and eat your vegetables. You might not even mind cooking them yourself.
Saut? Cauliflower with Apples and Sherry
Time: 25 minutes
1 medium head cauliflower
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons shallots, minced
2/3 cup Braeburn or other apple in 1/4-inch dice
1 tablespoon amontillado sherry
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Grated nutmeg.
1. Pull off leaves from cauliflower, and trim tough stem end away. With sharp paring knife separate cauliflower into florets, leaving 1-inch stem at base of each floret. Cut pieces in two lengthwise and lay flat side down. Cut each piece lengthwise in two, and repeat until you have 2-inch-long carved floret and stem pieces of approximately equal thickness (about 1/2-inch) top to bottom. There should be 16 ounces, about 7 cups of cauliflower. Set aside.
2. Melt butter over medium-low heat in large skillet until brown, about 4 minutes. Transfer to small bowl and set aside.
3. Toss cauliflower, salt and 5 tablespoons water in empty skillet, cover, and set over high heat. Cook until cauliflower is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 5 minutes. Uncover skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Drizzle with reserved butter. Stir in shallots and apples, and cook, stirring until tender, about 2 minutes. Add sherry and pepper, and toss to combine. Transfer to warm serving platter and sprinkle nutmeg over top.
Yield: 4 to 6 side dish servings.
Saut? Broccoli With Toasted Garlic, Orange and Sesame
Time: 25 minutes
1 medium head broccoli
2 teaspoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 1/2 tablespoons thinly sliced garlic cloves
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel.
1. Rinse broccoli. Cut off thick stem where it meets slender stalks, and reserve. With sharp paring knife separate stalks into florets, leaving stems about 1 1/2 inches long on each. Cut pieces in two lengthwise and lay flat-side down. Cut each piece lengthwise in two and repeat until you have 3-inch-long carved floret and stem pieces of approximately equal thickness (about 1/2-inch) top to bottom. Peel tough skin from stems, and cut crosswise into 1/4-inch medallions. There should be 12 ounces of broccoli, about 7 cups. Set aside.
2. Toast sesame seeds in large nonstick skillet over low heat until golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside.
3. Place olive oil and garlic in skillet over low heat. Toast garlic, stirring frequently, until garlic is deep golden brown, about 6 minutes. Add pepper flakes to hot oil, and stir. Transfer to small bowl, and set aside. Toss broccoli, salt and 1/4 cup water in same skillet, cover and set over high heat. Cook until broccoli is tender, shaking pan and stirring once, 4 minutes. Uncover skillet (water should be gone), and toss. Stir in garlic and oil, oyster sauce and orange peel. Transfer to warm serving platter, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Yield: 4 to 6 side dish servings.

In Alaska
Sound off on the important issues at
In 1901, the city of Nome was incorporated as a first class municipality.
In 1918, Thomas Riggs, Jr. took office as the third governor of the Territory of Alaska.
In 1960, two nine-year old boys safely escaped from a drifting ice floe in Cook Inlet after a hair-raising ride on an outgoing tide.
In 1976, Nome edged out Bethel to win the ninth annual Native Youth Olympics in Anchorage.
In the nation
In 1861, the American Civil War began as Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in South Carolina.
In 1862, Union volunteers led by James J. Andrews stole a Confederate train near Marietta, Ga., but were later caught. (This episode inspired the classic Buster Keaton silent comedy "The General.")
In 1877, the catcher's mask was first used in a baseball game, by James Tyng of Harvard in a game against the Lynn Live Oaks.
In 1934, "Tender Is the Night," by F. Scott Fitzgerald, was first published in book form by Charles Scribner's Sons (it had been serialized in Scribner's Magazine).
In 1955, the Salk vaccine against polio was declared safe and effective.
In 1981, the space shuttle Columbia blasted off from Cape Canaveral on its first test flight.
In 1983, Chicagoans went to the polls to elect Harold Washington the city's first black mayor.
In 2002, Boston's Cardinal Bernard Law ignored growing demands for his resignation because of the sex scandal engulfing the church. (Law ended up resigning in December 2002.) Secretary of State Colin Powell's trip to the Middle East was marred by a suicide bombing in Jerusalem that claimed six victims; the White House put on hold Powell's scheduled meeting with Yasser Arafat. Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez resigned under pressure from the country's divided military. (However, he was returned to office two days later.)
In 2006, jurors in the Zacarias Moussaoui trial listened to a recording of terrified shouts and cries in the cockpit as desperate passengers twice charged panicked hijackers during the final half hour of doomed United Flight 93 on Sept. 11.
In the world
In 1606, England's King James I decreed the design of the original Union Flag, which combined the flags of England and Scotland.
In 1776, North Carolina's Fourth Provincial Congress adopted the Halifax Resolves, which authorized the colony's delegates to the Continental Congress to support independence from Britain.
In 1961, Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first man to fly in space, orbiting the earth once before making a safe landing.
In 1997, undaunted by a cache of explosives found on his travel route, Pope John Paul II plunged into a peace mission to Sarajevo, wading into crowds and declaring, "Never again war."

Media: Iran has agreed to set oil prices at $50-60
The Iranian authorities agreed with the proposal by the representatives of Algeria to set oil prices at the level of 50-60 dollars per barrel, said the source Agency RIA Novosti.
According to him, the oil Minister of Algeria will soon meet in Paris with his counterpart from Saudi Arabia. Together with the Secretary General of OPEC, they will discuss oil prices.
Previously, Saudi Arabia and Russia issued a statement in which he indicated the willingness to work together to maintain balance in the oil market. Russian energy Minister Alexander Novak said that Moscow and Riyadh are considering the possibility of freezing oil for 3-6 months.

You hear a lot about oxidation and the importance of anti-oxidants. I want to introduce you to a concept at least as important - glycation. New studies reveal that all of us suffer to some degree by the damage caused by glycation. What is glycation? It is sugar binding to a protein or fat. Glycated fats and proteins are described by scientists as Advanced Glycation End-products, appropriately abbreviated as A-G-Es. A-G-Es damage our bodies by causing cross-linking that leads to intracellular damage and cell death. Think of glycation as caramelization of your body. Essentially, glycation speeds up aging by turning your tissue into CRÈME BRÛLÉE.
Recent research indicates that these damaging end products play a role in skin wrinkles, hypertension, impotence, heart disease, cancer, neurodegeneration (dementia), cataracts, kidney failure and in general - aging itself.
How does one increase glycation and age faster? Eat like most Americans. If you didn't know better, you might think we are trying to age faster by the way we are eating.
Measuring Glycation
The hemoglobin A1c test is also known as glycosylated hemoglobin. The hemoglobin A1c test is best known as a common test for tracking long-term glucose control in people with diabetes. However, we know realize that the hemoglobin A1c is quite useful for those without diabetes too: The Hemoglobin A1c or glycosylated hemoglobin correlates with age-accelerating glycation reactions in the body. In other words, by monitoring the hemoglobin A1c level, we can identify age accelerating excessive glycation in our bodies and take measures to reduce it.
By the way, another dark side of high A1c levels is their association with higher insulin levels. Higher insulin levels cause increases in blood pressure, appetite, weight, heart disease, cancer and chronic inflammation. In men, impotence and prostate enlargement is also associated with hyperinsulinemia.
An Optimal Level of the Hemoglobin A1c is less than 5%
Research suggests that a hemoglobin A1c level of less than 5% is ideal. It can also be challenging to achieve.
What raises our hemoglobin A1c? Many physicians only consider foods which raise the blood glucose levels as causing the A1c to increase. Surprisingly, blood sugar levels are only part of what increase the A1c. Eating advanced glycosylated end products increase glycation in our body too.
So, Glycation and the hemoglobin A1c rise when:
1. We eat foods that raise our glucose. Sugary, starchy foods cause our glucose to increase and this causes glycation of our proteins.
2. We eat A-G-E rich foods. These glycotoxins cause both direct damage and the expression of genes which accelerate aging.
5 Ways to lower your hemoglobin A1c. reduce glycation and slow aging
1. Eat low sugar foods – those with a lower glycemic load.
This includes vegetables, lower sugar fruits like berries, nuts and some animal products. Avoid processed foods, artificial sweeteners, sugar, fructose and grains – especially wheat (even whole grain). Animal-derived foods that are high in fat and protein are prone to A-G-E formation during cooking. This can be reduced by smart cooking methods - see point 2 below. In contrast vegetables and fruits contain relatively few A-G-Es, even after cooking. Read "Wheat Belly" by William Davis and "Eat to Live" by Joel Fuhrman for more details.
2. Cook Smart: Steam, Stew, Boil or Raw.
You get A-G-Es with dry heat. A-G-Es/glycation are significantly reduced by cooking with moist heat, using shorter cooking times, cooking at lower temperatures and by use of acidic ingredients such as lemon juice or vinegar. Low-AGE– generating cooking methods include boiling, poaching, steaming and stewing. The high AGE content of broiled chicken (5,828 kU/100 g) and broiled beef (5,963 kU/100 g) can be significantly reduced (1,124 kU/100 g and 2,230 kU/100 g, respectively) when the same piece of meat is either boiled or stewed.
Eating raw foods can often rapidly improve health. Why are raw foods so good for us? Raw foods are rich in nutrients and live enzymes plus they have virtually no A-G-Es. Many have found www.rawfor30days.com to be helpful.
Unfortunately, A-G-Es taste good and many foods are cooked in such a way as to increase their A-G-E content. For optimal health and to slow the aging process you should largely avoid foods which are:
· Barbecued
· Blackened
· Broiled
· Browned
· Carmalized
· Charred
· Fried
· Grilled
· Microwaved
· Roasted
· Toasted
A-G-Es are also found in roasted coffee, cereals, biscuits and chocolate.
The use of acidic marinades such as lemon juice and vinegar before cooking can limit A-G-E generation. Reducing glycation does not require eating cardboard; A-G-E reducing culinary techniques have long been used in Mediterranean, Asian and other cuisines throughout the world to create delicious easily prepared dishes.
3. Exercise regularly. Exercise reduces insulin resistance and lowers blood glucose.
4. Hormonal balance: Thyroid, DHEA, testosterone in men, progesterone in women reduce glycation and help the body repair itself.
5. Supplements to lower glycation include: Cinnamon, garlic, psyllium, chromium, alpha lipoic acid, fish oil, Vitamin C, Vitamin B6 and L-taurine. Carnosine and benfotiamine help too. Resveratrol helps protect against AGE damage. The enzyme transglucosidase has also shown promise in reducing the release of sugar from starch and converting it to fiber.
How to get a Hemoglobin A1c test
Testing your hemoglobin A1c can help you refine your lifestyle so you feel better and enjoy a longer, healthier life. Getting an A1c level is easy. You can ask your doctor (Hotze Health & Wellness guests will have this test run routinely as of this summer). You can also have many labs run this test without a doctor's order– i.e. ZRT labs Hemoglobin A1c Blood Spot Test Kit or Life Extension Foundation. Since the Hemoglobin A1c test reflects what you have been doing the past 3 months, you would not want to repeat this test more often than every 3 months.
To your health!
Don Ellsworth, M.D.

This is the first I've heard of the "structurally unsound" label. I do know that Patel initially did want to save the theater, but the cost of mechanical upgrades was prohibitive. The interior, except for the downstairs auditorium, was consmetically in good condition a year ago, though much of the ornamentation had already been removed years before.
Not only is it easier to fill a smaller venue like the Tivoli or Portage, but you need a place for them to put their cars, too. A 2,000 seat neighborhood house is an anachronism; if a theater is large, it has to be a regional destination. The Tivoli has on-site parking, and the Portage has a municipal lot half a block away. The Nortown is in the middle of arguably the worst parking mess in the City outside of Downtown. Two small screens serving the local populace will work a lot better there.
The building now houses Saratoga Printing.
The neighboring Selwyn and Harris theaters were indeed built; they're listed here under their later names of Cinestage and Michael Todd. Their façcades are still standing; the site has been home to the Goodman Theatre since 2000.
Midway Theater – please e-mail me at Thanks.
Yes, but they are actively raising funds to build a new facility on Leggs Hill Road.
Some of the terra cotta pieces were falling to the street a few years ago. The City of Chicago pitched in and removed pieces to repair and store them; they will be reinstalled. See posts above from around October 2005.
The Villa is featured in the documentary Preserve Me a Seat by Apartment 101 Films. The new floor is just wood platforms; the original auditorium floor is completely intact. Dr. Adib said in the film that he wanted to leave as much as possible intact so it would be possible to convert it back to a theater someday. If he did not buy the building, it would have been demolished.
According to the film, the sign did not work and was damaged when Adib moved it. The estimated cost to repair the sign was $70,000.
It's a shame that the owners thought the porn niche was strong enough that they could jack up the price so much. I guess they thought that none of their audience would be content just watching at home. I still think they'll do better with Bollywood at any price than they did with porn at $9.
I'm not sure what you mean by "The Fair is nowhere." The Fair will actually still be there. I'm not interested in the management's well being, either, but theaters are businesses, not social service organizations. It's a shame that you would rather see the building torn down than stop showing porn and kung fu.
pmullins, I have nothing against the Fair's current patrons or porn itself, and from the thread and articles I've read, I was under the impression that patronage was pretty sparse. Porn kept a lot of our theaters going because there was no demand for anything else. Now it's a dwindling niche market. I'm happy that the management is keeping the theater going and adjusting to the demand rather than eeking it out with porn for a couple more years and then selling out to a developer.
How is Bollywood a bad thing? Their current business plan of porn, camp, and third-run mainstream films doesn't seem like it's drawing many customers, while the nearby Eagle, at least when I passed by the place regularly a few years ago, is packed.

The Cingular Wireless banner is gone. The marquee still says PATIO RENOVATING.
Geo, for a more recent peek inside the Uptown, watch the trailer for last year's Uptown: Portrait of a Palace – View link
This theater is featured on the cover of this month's Bus Ride magazine, as part of an article on Wade Tours.
The theatre description should be updated; the Gateway hasn't been the home of the Silent Film Society of Chicago since the Portage reopened last year.
Sadly, Sportif, the jewel box bicycle shop across from the Gateway that Paul Fortini mentioned a year ago, has been a vacant lot for a few months.
I'm not sure what you have heard most recently, so I apologize if any of this is old news. The City has been shopping around for a new owner to renovate the theater, and entertainment giants Live Nation and AEG were supposed to submit proposals in December. Meanwhile, owner Robert Lunn still isn't selling, and the City is considering condemnation proceedings to take possession of the property. Again, this information is two months old, but I hope it helps.
I rode by the Apollo today, and it looks a lot better than it does in the above photo. The marquee has a new-looking sign that says "Apollo Banquet Hall," though the phone number is unchanged from before. The front of the building, including the ticket window, looks beautiful. Unfortunately, the windows are covered with black fabric, so one cannot see inside.
I'm not sure if the mural changed, but the one on the building now is in tribute to all Latin-Americans, not just Mexicans.
The Portage Theater is on MySpace! Stop by www.myspace.com/portagetheater and send a friend request…
Screen (at least in Theater 3, but I think they're all about the same) was a good size. I noticed no obvious problems with the picture or sound, but there was one abrupt scene change that was probably a bad splice; I won't know for sure until it I see it again on video. There was also one crying baby in the auditorium – but my wife hustled him out to Ladies' Lounge very quickly :).
Sadly, it isn't that surprising. The Leroy in Pawtucket, RI was torn down just ten years after a half-million dollar restoration. I'm sure there are countless other examples.
I'm a bit confused. The Friends website says it was updated January 13, yet it bears no mention of the demolition. Isn't this event of minor importance to a group that is supposed to be raising funds to "restore" the theater?
Certainly the same was said of drive-ins when they began to supplant traditional movie theaters.
The theater marquee and entrance can be seen on the cover of Steve Smith & The Nakeds' 1984 album Coming to a Theatre Near You. The "OCEAN" vertical and "State" script were still in place, with PPAC identified by a banner hanging below the marquee.

Researchers find secret of Scottish sheep evolutionJanuary 18th, 2008 - 2:12 pm ICT by admin
Washington, Jan 18 (ANI): A new research has found the secret of why dark sheep on a remote Scottish Island are mysteriously declining, apparently contradicting Darwins evolutionary theory.
Researchers from the University of Sheffield, as part of an international team, found that the gene responsible for dark coat colour is associated with other genes that reduce an animals fitness.
Lead authors Dr Jacob Gratten and Dr Jon Slate, from the Universitys Department of Animal and Plant Sciences, and their colleagues looked at coat colour in a feral population of Soay sheep on Hirta in the St Kilda Archipelago.
They found that on Hirta, about three quarters of sheep have dark brown coats, while the remaining quarter have light sandy coats.
But despite the fact that the dark-coated Soay sheep are larger, which is usually linked to survival and reproductive success, the researchers found that the frequency of light-coated sheep has increased over the last 20 years.
Darwins theory would have predicted that because dark-coated sheep appear fitter that they would do better than light-coated sheep, until only dark-coated sheep remained in the population.
But the new research has revealed that the process of evolution by natural selection in Soay sheep is actually more complex than this.
For the study, the researchers used a statistical genetics approach similar to that used by medical geneticists, when trying to map genes for human disease such as heart disease or diabetes.
They found that the dark coat trait is usually co-inherited with a set of genes that increase size but decrease reproductive success. The light coat trait is usually co-inherited with a set of genes that decrease size but increase reproductive success.
The new finding means that sheep with one copy of the dark gene and one copy of the light gene are quite large and also have quite high reproductive success.
Sheep with two copies of the dark gene are larger still, but have poor reproductive success. Sheep with two copies of the light gene are small, but still have quite high reproductive success.
According to researchers, this means that the two types of dark sheep although indistinguishable visually, vary in Darwinian fitness.
The findings were based on over 20 years of field data, and involved researchers from the University of Edinburgh and the Queensland Institute of Medical Research in Brisbane, as well as members of the University of Sheffield.
The aim of this study was to improve understanding of how evolution by natural selection operates. The study addresses an important problem in evolutionary biology, Dr Jacob Gratten said.
It shows that predicting the evolutionary response to selection is difficult without knowledge of which genes are in close proximity to each other.
It also highlights that an understanding of the underlying genetic basis of a highly visible trait was necessary in order to understand its evolution, Dr Jacob Gratten added.
The study will appear in the journal Science. (ANI)

First Review by Cottser
Big enough to carry a good selection. - Edit
Good sized store but not large with a wide variety of everything you might need from a health food store..
Amazing Store! - Edit
Love love love this place! The staff are so friendly and knowledgeable about everything.
This place carries products that I cant find anywhere else in the city!
And to top it all off, its in the village!
The Best in London - Edit
I have shopped every health store in London and this is by far the best! Friendly knowledgeable staff. Fresh organic produce. If they don't have a product just ask. They can usually order it for you. I would love to see them open another store even larger.
Great - Edit
This is a really solid place with lots of options and a great feel about it. As with many independent natural food stores, it's pricey, but there are a few good home-made options as well (though more would be useful...)
Best for selection, friendly - Edit
I've been to all the (non-coop) health food stores in London fairly extensively. I've always had good experiences with the service at all of them, but this store has a great selection, probably because it's also the biggest.
They also have tasty & fresh vegan muffins that I've recently become a fan of. Please, don't wait as long as I did to check out this store! They have lots of different and hard to find items.

Occidental Petroleum Corporation has announced that the Libyan authorities have approved, effective July 1, 2005, Occidental's recent agreement with Libya's National Oil Corporation whereby Occidental will resume operations in its historical Libyan contract areas. Occidental was required to leave its oil exploration and production operations in the prolific Sirte Basin in 1986 when the U.S. government barred American companies from doing business in Libya.
During the interim, the producing properties have been operated by a subsidiary of Libya's National Oil Corporation. While Occidental retained its contractual rights during the sanctions era, the company derived no economic benefits from these operations.
The immediate impact of Occidental's resumption of operations in these Libyan properties will be to add net production in the range of 12,000 to 15,000 barrels of oil per day to the company's 2005 exit rate.
In announcing the accord, Dr. Ray R. Irani, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer said, "Occidental's return to these properties not only will have an immediate positive impact on the company's current worldwide production, but also holds significant potential for future production growth through new investment in enhanced oil recovery projects. This agreement, which follows our success in winning interests in nine of the 15 exploration blocks awarded in Libya's recent licensing round, is an important component in our growth strategy in one of our core regions. The old contract areas, which include four exploration blocks, plus the nine new exploration blocks, encompass an area of approximately 130,000 square kilometers, making Occidental the largest net working interest holder of oil and gas acreage in the country. Occidental has a long and successful history in Libya, and we believe our return will produce significant benefits for the people of Libya and for our stockholders."
