Shh, listen. Carefully. Do you hear those grievous wails and that gnashing of teeth? That is the sound of fangirly hearts breaking.
Read it and weep, ladies. Heartthrob Daniel Henney has been photographed with an unrecognized woman by paparazzi, and the resultant internet frenzy to identify the woman is ongoing.
For once, netizens are refraining from jumping to the conclusion that she's the actor's girlfriend (the force of denial, how she is strong) and are busy scouring the internet for more info. The photographs show Daniel Henney in comfortable conversation with a woman in what appears to be a cafe in what appears to be a foreign country. Way to dig up details, netizens!
Netizens speculate that she's his girlfriend living in the States, but so far all they can say for sure is that she's a new face they don't recognize. (Personally, I think if he was really in the U.S. with his girlfriend, they'd be a lot cozier. And dressed a lot less like a yuppie businessman and -woman.)
Henney was last seen in the film My Father, about a Korean-American adoptee who goes to Korea in search of his birth father, only to find he's on death row, and has been taking a break since the end of last year.
"Kissing Me" sung by Alex of Clazziquai and Daniel Henney, from the Seducing Mr. Perfect soundtrack. [ Download ]

So the neighbor a few houses down, the one who's cat kept scratching my car jumping up on it until I got a car cover ($220) just adopted FIVE more cats and I assume they are all from the same litter as they look like identical tabbies in size and coat.
They are well fed and wear ID collars and all, but problem is that they are outdoor all day except at night, and they almost always without exception end up in my back yard. It makes Wesley and Buttercup a little spazy trying to defend their turf from the cats staring in the house from behind the glass.
I've gone out and banged a big soup spoon on the bottom of a pot I had out but they still come back. Most likely its because I have two bird feeders and a bird bath in the yard which I don't think anyone else in the neighborhood has so there are always tons of birds in my yard.
Ideas short of a super soaker? I know to get rid of the deer eating the plants at my mom's house we got some deer repellant that works. Only concern with a predator scent or something is that occasionally we have the windows open when its nice, and I'd hate to cause a panic in Wesley and Buttercup from the smell.

Cat Pausé is a Fat Studies scholar.
I am a Fat Studies researcher. Fat Studies is an interdisciplinary field that confronts and critiques cultural constraints against notions of fatness and the fat body. Fat studies researchers explore fat bodies as they are embodied and are shaped by/remake the world. Fat Studies creates paradigms for the development of fat acceptance and celebration within mass culture.
My current research interests include the development, maintenance, and revision of fat identity and the education of service workers on the myths associated with obesity.
During my doctoral work, I studied under Dr. Gwendolyn T. Sorell on the Adult Identity Development Project. The AIDP collects data on adult identity development, maintenance, and revision - ranging from parental identity, work identity, sibling identity, friendship identity, spiritual identity, weight identity, and body identity. My dissertation explored weight identity in fat women.

Catt had hoped to make his comeback in a top-of-the-table Premiership clash between Bath and Wasps.
But the calf muscle injury he sustained during a training session last week has not healed sufficiently, and he will remain on the sidelines.
Catt has not played since Bath beat Leicester in the Premiership last November, having been consistently troubled by hamstring problems.
England head coach Sir Clive Woodward would now appear to have little option other than to exclude Catt from his plans for Sunday week's Italian job in Rome.
A fit Catt could possibly have been considered for the fly-half role vacated by injured World Cup star Jonny Wilkinson, but Woodward's choice now lies between Alex King, Olly Barkley or Paul Grayson.

Looking to up my wardrobe a bit. I don't know much about Classic Menswear but I am looking for some items that fall into this category.
Looking for the following items:
Unstructured/Structured Blazers in either navy and black.
Suit in Grey or Black
Possibly ties
My measurements are as follows;
18-18.5 shoulders
41.5" Chest
26"ish sleeves.
About 5'11.5 tall with a slightly short torso.
Anyways, if anyone has anything that looks to be in that ballpark, shoot me a PM! I'm a student so I'm not looking any $2000 suits handcrafted by a 200 year old italian man or anything like that. Just anything decent that would fit well.

You may have seen my asparagus trays in the past… I love those trays. It's a fun form to make and really serves its function well. I wanted to make something for olives, so over the summer I kinda just shrunk the asparagus tray down. The size and scale really work well, and they are as cute as can be.

Hand Block Prints And Clay
I found this short and beautiful film clip on YouTube recently and thought I'd share it! It it shows a little bit of India and how wood blocks are made, and used. It really caught my attention because of the beautiful filming, and the fact that I use these type of blocks in my clay work.
I have always liked to use pattern on my pots. Places I have found pattern have been as far-flung as a lemon zester, to old tap and die tools from a local factory. A couple of years ago a student of mine gave me some printing blocks from India. I have used them here and there. About a year ago I posted some asparagus trays drying, but never posted the finished product. Here they are again, with the finished product. I used the blocks for texture on the bottom inside.
That Etsy Shop
Ok… so the Open Studio/Holiday Sale is over, and was a great success… now it's time for that neglected etsy shop. Time, time, time… just need a lot more of it!
There have been some great reads on other potter's blogs about etsy, namely John Bauman and Ron Philbeck . I really like the idea of etsy… it is just a new kind of work to me… taking lots of photo's, being a little bit of a story-teller in describing my pottery, and last but not least, listing, and re-listing, and re-listing again. I think it's just the learning curve. I will eventually do it with ease.
Take a look at my foodieceramics etsy shop here! I'm having a sale… FREE SHIPPING in the U.S!!
More Pots for the Sale
Today we started setting up for the Holiday Sale which starts tomorrow at 4:00! The studio is becoming transformed! Here are more preview pics of the latest work.

New Delhi: Floods continued to wreak havoc in Assam, as the Brahmaputra and its tributaries sent more areas under water, and over 2 lakh people were badly hit in 23 affected districts. The 2012 floods in the north-eastern state are the worst ever since 1998. The death toll rose to 30 and many remained missing on Thursday after a boat capsized in Goalpara district of Assam. Govt assures all help Park rangers work non-stop to safeguard wildlife Latest News from India News Desk
"The current flood is biggest since 1998. The river island Majuli is the worst sufferer," said Nilamoni Sen Deka, Agriculture Minister andgovernment spokesman .
The incessant rains have lashed out many parts of the state resulting in alarming rise of water level of the Brahmaputra River in 23 of the 27 districts. The worst-hit districts include Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Dibrugarh, Jorhat, Nalbari, Barpeta and Dhubri where water has engulfed fresh areas of human habitation and cropland.
More than five lakh people have been affected in this wave of the floods which have threatened the existence of Majuli, the world's largest inhabited river island. The situation in the island was unchanged even as there was no fresh rainfall. The Kaziranga National Park, a world heritage site, and Pabitora sanctuary, both housing the highly endangered one horned rhino, are under flood waters.
The Centre on Friday assured all help to Assam in dealing with the flood situation in the state and promised to send more teams of National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) there.
"We have already sent 16 teams of NDRF. One member of NDMA (National Disaster Management Authority) will be visiting flood-affected areas of Assam tomorrow. We will send one more team of NDRF soon," Union Home Secretary R K Singh told reporters here.
Singh said he was in regular touch with Assam government officials and assured them all help in relief and rescue operations.
The Home Ministry had on Thursday deployed 15 teams of NDRF comprising 548 personnel along with 60 boats and other necessary equipment to carry out rescue and relief operations in flood-hit districts of Assam.
An Indian Air Force helicopter has been deployed for air dropping food packets and rescuing the marooned.
Forest officials in most rhino habitats in Assam have been working through the night to save wildlife severely affected after flood waters submerged vast areas of sanctuaries.
The flood season is crucial for the animals in protected areas as poachers take advantage of the situation to hunt, particularly the one-horned rhino for its high value in various Southeast Asian markets.
Officials in the famed Kaziranga National Park (KNP) said that about 70 percent of the park falling in Assam's Golaghat district has been submerged by flood waters till Thursday.
The waters have, however, started to recede since Friday morning.
While the Pabitora wildlife sanctuary in Morigaon district is completely submerged, at least 30 percent of the Manas National Park located in Barpeta district has been affected. The Rajiv Gandhi National Park at Orang in the state's Darrang district is also among the affected parks.As per a census in April 2012 there were 2,290 one-horned rhinos in the KNP, besides thousands of other wildlife species spread over a park area of 860 sq km.
"Mobile patrolling using rubber boats has been intensified in all areas inside the park and all guards have been on duty round-the-clock to secure the lives of wild animals," said a senior park official.
"Almost all 153 anti-poaching camps inside the national parks have been operating despite severe floods. Our forest guards are constantly guarding the park not only to prevent poaching but also to help marooned animals," the official said.

Lyme Disease Link?
By Daniel Sefton
Editor's Note: We recently received this very interesting email from Daniel Sefton, a Connecticut beekeeper, regarding his bee venom allergies. Dan's been keeping bees since he ordered his first packages from Kelley's nearly a quarter-century ago, and now considers himself "a full-fledged novice."
Dan raises some very intriguing questions about stinging, and Lyme disease. Readers? Please share your thoughts and experiences, thanks.
Three years ago I got stung a few times and developed a moderate systemic reaction, including swelling on my face, itchy palms and coughing. I visited an allergist, and to make a long story short I have developed an allergic reaction to honeybee venom (and bald faced hornets, but that isn't a major concern).
My allergist said, "Um, it would be a good idea to give up beekeeping." I laughed and he said he figured so, but he had to make that recommendation. For the past few years I have been undergoing immunotherapy. I now look forward to getting stung, to see how I react. There has been no major reaction since the first, but I keep an EpiPen® handy. A theory I have heard is that as beginning beekeepers, we get stung a lot. As we develop experience, our sting rate goes down, and that is when most beekeepers develop an allergy. Evidently getting stung frequently keeps the toxin levels high in the blood, but when they drop you somehow are more susceptible to developing a reaction.
Another thought: For the past ten years, Lyme disease has been a significant disease that my wife, children, neighbors and everybody has contracted multiple times. It is a major part of our life nowadays. Although it is now a threat all over the world, I take some pride in that I live in East Lyme, CT, where it was first described.
Anyway, talking with other beekeepers we realize that none of us has had Lyme disease. A little internet searching will turn up anecdotal evidence that some of the proteins in bee venom actively kill the spirochete that causes Lyme. Have you any thoughts on this? Anyone else reported or discussed this in beekeeper circles?

Information on the 50-contract roster limit and 90-player maximum reserve list
by Staff Writer / Edmonton OilersJordan Eberle does not count as one of Edmonton's 50 contracts this season.. |
Roster Limits
Teams have four different "roster" limits to balance under the league's regulations; a 20-player "dressed list" for games, a 23-player active NHL roster, a 50-contract maximum, and a 90-player maximum reserve list.
Starting with the largest and working our way down, teams are only allowed to have up to 90 players on its reserve list, whether signed to a standard player contract (SPC) or unsigned. From there teams are only allowed to have up to 50 players signed to contracts for any given season, including those for the players on the active roster and injured reserve lists. The unsigned players are draft picks of the club who have not yet been signed. In most cases, an organization retains an unsigned drafted player's rights for two seasons after his drafted year, with some extended timeframes provided for US College players and for European players, among others, but that's for another topic later on.
Every player on the 23-person active NHL roster, plus any player on the injured reserve list, must be under contract (and count toward the 50 contract maximum) and every team must have at least 24 players and three goaltenders under an SPC. Beyond those parameters, a team has wide latitude to make up its 50 contracts. In actuality, most teams opt not to use the full 50-contract maximum to give the organization the flexibility to make roster moves – trades, waiver claims, or player signings – at any given time. Most teams carry a significant number of signed players at the minor professional level, AHL being the highest minor pro league in North America. Since these players are already signed to contracts, it's easy for clubs to recall the player(s) to the NHL as needed.
Other players may be signed to contracts but returned to the player's junior club – most often this takes place between an NHL club and Canadian Major Junior teams (teams that play in the Ontario Hockey League, Quebec Major Junior Hockey League, or Western Hockey League, collectively the CHL). But 18 and 19-year-old players assigned to their team in the CHL do not count against the 50-contract maximum, until they have played at least 11 NHL games in one season.
The 50-contract limit has an interesting distinction in that the limit pertains to the season(s) for which a contract is valid. All NHL player contracts expire on June 30. The year varies from contract to contract, but the day remains the same (as we'll discuss more when we look at player contracts in later editions of the feature). Knowing it has expiring contracts coming off its 50-contract maximum, a team can sign players to contracts for the following season. By doing so a team may have more than 50 different players signed to valid SPCs, as long as 50 or fewer are signed to valid SPCs for that current season AND fewer than 50 SPCs on tap for the upcoming season.
The 23-man roster limit is in place from the conclusion of the preseason until 12:01 am on the day of the NHL's Trade Deadline. After that teams are allowed to have an unlimited active roster at the NHL level, provided players are signed to one of their 50 contract slots. NHL teams are only allowed to dress a maximum of 20 players – 18 skaters and two goaltenders – for any given game, but those 20 must come from the 23-player active roster.
Both the 23-player active roster and 20-player game roster can change day-to-day and game-to-game. All changes to the team's 23-player active roster must be cleared through the NHL's Central Registry before the move is considered finalized (and before the player is eligible to play in a game). In most cases the clearance from Central Registry is simple and completed in a nominal time span. Changes to the 20 players on the game roster are even easier – the list is submitted to the NHL official (either referee or official scorer) by the team (usually the head coach) moments before the start of the game. Prior to submitting the list, the team can choose from any members of its 23-man active roster.
As for the 20-player game roster, according to Rule 5.2, "Only players and goalkeepers on the list submitted to the Official Scorer before the game may participate in the game." The rule further states that any goals scored while ineligible players are on the ice are subject to be disallowed – at the time of the goal – and the ineligible player(s) removed from the game with the offending team not allowed to replace the ineligible player's roster spot. However, the rule continues, "No additional penalties are to be assessed but a report of the incident must be submitted to the Commissioner."
There is an exemption to the rule should both of the goaltenders on the game roster become "incapacitated" but that is an extremely specific rule that has very rarely come into play in the league's long history.
Beyond those limitations, the league does not dictate the make-up of a team's roster, though the standard make-up used by most teams for the 20-player game roster is to dress 12 forwards and six defensemen along with the mandated two goaltenders. Rarely a team will use 13 forwards and five defensemen, but it's not overly uncommon for a team to dress 11 forwards and seven defensemen.
While there are defined limitations, teams have a lot of flexibility to personalize their rosters to their organizational needs, preferences, or styles of play.
NashvillePredators.com this past summer looked at different aspects of the business side of the NHL, exploring the business decisions NHL teams make each season and the different league rules and regulations that guide the process. They took an in-depth look at the NHL's collective bargaining agreement as well as other factors NHL teams weigh while making the day-to-day decisions that help the organization succeed.

ATLANTA — Falcons starters aren't expecting a short day against Tampa Bay today just because they've clinched home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs.
"We're getting paid so we've got to go out and play," said center Todd McClure.
Added quarterback Matt Ryan: "My mindset is to prepare myself to play the entire game and that's the way I'm going to go into it and really it will be no different than any other week."
No different? It's not that clear-cut, at least for those looking at the game from outside the Falcons' meetings.
The Falcons (13-2) would seem to have little to play for other than the goal of bringing momentum into the playoffs. Atlanta coach Mike Smith would be second-guessed if a key player suffers an injury which could hurt the team's postseason hopes.
There's so much uncertainty about how long starters Ryan, tight end Tony Gonzalez and receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones will play that there is no betting line on the game.
Smith is motivated to end his streak of three straight playoff losses. The Falcons also were the NFC's top seed when they lost to Green Bay after the 2010 season. Atlanta was embarrassed in a 24-2 loss at the Giants in the 2011 playoffs.
The success of the Packers and Giants, who each won Super Bowls after beating the Falcons in the playoffs, has shown that momentum is more important than carrying the best record into the postseason.
That has been a popular subject for Smith and veteran Falcons players, including McClure, this week.
"Like Todd says, there's no 'mentum like momentum," said linebacker Sean Weatherspoon.
Atlanta has won two straight since a loss at Carolina. Ryan has seven touchdown passes with no interceptions in the two wins. Smith wants the Falcons to enter the playoffs on a roll.
"I think it's very important for us," Smith said. "We've talked all along about having a different mission every week but we want the same result, to win.
"We're going to go through the process like we always do. I think it's very important for us to finish the regular season off the right way and Tampa is a very good football team."
The Buccaneers (6-9) have lost five straight games. The streak began with a 24-23 home loss to the Falcons on Nov. 25. Tampa Bay was a playoff contender before the sudden collapse.
Buccaneers coach Greg Schiano said he can only wish he had Smith's dilemma of deciding how best to prepare his starters for the playoffs.
"That's not my concern. That's Mike's issue," Schiano said. "I wish it were my issue to deal with, but not this year. My whole deal is getting my team prepared. We'll be familiar with all the backups in case they play, but we're planning on seeing their starters and we'll go from there."
Tampa Bay has been overwhelmed by a wave of turnovers, including five in two straight weeks. Josh Freeman has thrown four interceptions in each of the last two losses. He threw only three interceptions in his previous eight games.
The Bucs were stopped on downs twice inside the Rams' 10 in last week's 28-13 loss to St. Louis. They also had five turnovers the previous week in a 41-0 loss at New Orleans.
Tampa Bay ranks first in the league in run defense but last in pass defense. That could be bad news against Ryan, who is coming off what Smith said were his most impressive back-to-back games.
"I think clearly pass defense, whether it's coverage or pass rush, we haven't been up to the levels we expect of ourselves," Schiano said. "It's a passing league. It's a quarterback-driven league.
"Then when you play good run defense, people quickly shy away from the run if they're not having success. If your run defense is your strength and your pass defense is your weakness then you better believe you're gonna see more passing and that's kind of what we've done."
There have been some individual highlights for Tampa Bay's offense.
Freeman needs 157 yards to become the franchise's first 4,000-yard passer. Vincent Jackson leads the Bucs with 69 receptions for 1,334 yards and eight touchdowns. He needs 69 yards to break Mark Carrier's franchise record of 1,422 yards in a season.
Rookie Doug Martin's production has declined in the losing streak, but he is third in the league with 1,766 scrimmage yards, including 1,312 yards rushing. He has 10 rushing touchdowns.
Smith has hinted he may give his team a lighter practice schedule next week as the Falcons will have a bye in the first round of the playoffs. That's all the more incentive for Falcons players to keep the coach happy today.
"We're not going to change the way we're approaching this game," said safety Thomas DeCoud. "We're acting like it's Week 3. We're all expecting to play and we're all expecting to play well."

Two of Beethoven's most popular violin sonatas taken from Anne-Sophie Mutter's acclaimed complete set, with long-time partner Lambert Orkis, recorded in 1998. Mutter is one of the world's most recognizable soloists, Orkis a chamber-music specialist. They have now been playing for 25 years - one of the great partnerships.
The Penguin Guide
highly accomplished and intelligent performances ... Mutter's playing (and that of her distinguished partner) has much personality, is commanding, masterly and undeniably compelling.

Today's Devotional
Laying Our Lives DownHow has Jesus' example inspired you to freely give of yourself?
Carry My Cross- Third Day (with computer graphics)
Carry My Cross by Third Day (Lyrics) As long as I remember, I've been walking through the wilderness. Praying to the Father and waiting for my time. I've come here with a mission and soon I'll give my life for this world! I'm praying in the garden and I'm looking for a miracle. I find the journey hard but It's the reason I was born. "Can this cup be passed on?" Lord, I pray your will be done in this world. So I'll carry my cross and I'll carry the shame to the end of the road through the struggle and pain. And I'll do it for love. No, it won't be in vain! Yes, I'll carry my cross and I'll carry the shame. I feel like I'm alone here. And I'm treated like a criminal. The time has come for me now even though I've done no wrong. "Father, please forgive them; They know not what they've done" in this world. Three more days and I'll be coming back again! Three more days and I'll be coming back again!

Kukla's Korner Hockey
With A Month Left In The Regular Season
by Paul on 03/27/13 at 03:02 PM ET
Comments (0)
from James Mirtle of the Globe and Mail,
In the East, it currently looks like the cut-off will be about 52 points, which is very low if you project it out over a full 82-game season (about 89 points).
In the West, it's slightly higher at about 53 points, which is closer to about 91 over a full season.
Now, it's possible to get in with less but not overly likely. And, with tiebreakers factored in, teams could miss even if they hit these targets.
Part of what's happened this season is there hasn't been enough time for true separation, with teams failing to fall into the bottom and lose a pile of games late in a longer season in a trend that usually pushes the playoff pace higher.
Keeping in mind these projected targets, here is what all 30 teams will need to do over the remaining games to get there:

The Ohio Supreme Court has dismissed a lawsuit filed against Personhood Ohio. The suit was aimed at stopping the pro-life organization from circulating a petition that would allow Ohioans a vote to define all human beings as persons, thereby ending abortion throughout the state.
An organization calling themselves Healthy Families Ohio brought the suit in January, asking the Court to split the citizen initiative into two separate measures, after the Ohio Ballot Board ruled the Ohio Personhood Amendment dealt with, and could move forward as, a single subject. Planned Parenthood has previously used the title "Healthy Families," as a shell to oppose personhood efforts. Mississippians for Healthy Families organized the No on Amendment 26 campaign last fall.
Healthy Families Ohio also charged that the ballot title, describing the effects of the amendment, was inaccurate.
The Ohio Personhood Amendment would define the words "person" and "men" to "apply to every human being at every stage of development of that human being, including fertilization." The amendment language and ballot title further specify that the measure will not affect "genuine contraception that acts solely by preventing the creation of a new human being" or "In Vitro Fertilization procedures that respect the right to life of newly created human beings."
The amendment also includes language clarifying that it would apply only to living human beings, from the moment our lives begin, and not "human 'eggs' or oocytes prior to the beginning of life."
Personhood Ohio has until July to collect the 385,000 signatures required to reach the 2012 ballot.
"This ruling from the Ohio Supreme Court confirms what personhood supporters have been explaining all along. Recognizing the legal rights of all persons, regardless of their size or age, will simply put an end to their destruction," commented Ohio Family Physician and Personhood Ohio Director, Dr. Patrick Johnston. "By dismissing this frivolous lawsuit, the Court got it exactly right. Contraception and reproductive medicine will continue to be widely available in our state. And contrary to the way it has been portrayed, personhood will not grant rights to human eggs. Rather, it will recognize that all men are endowed by our Creator with an unalienable right to life from the moment of our creation."

Benefits Of Cinnamon
Benefits Of Cinnamon
Cinnamon is well known as a delicious spice and is used in the preparation of a variety of dishes and recipes. Apart from its use as a spice, cinnamon is very beneficial for the body and is used as a medicine for the treatment of various ailments. The many befits of cinnamon to the body include:
1. Enhances the activity of the brain.
The most important benefit of cinnamon is that it enhances the activity of the brain. It acts as a brain tonic. Cinnamon also helps to remove nervous tension and reduces loss of memory.
2. Helps maintain sugar levels in type II diabetes.
Cinnamon helps to control the blood sugar levels in people suffering from diabetes. There are two types of diabetes. Type I diabetes occurs because of decreased secretion of insulin by pancreas and type II is genetic in origin. Studies have revealed that that cinnamon is helpful for patients suffering with type II diabetes. Cinnamon contains a polyphenol compound that is water-soluble and is known as MHCP. This substance improves the function of insulin in the body and thus maintains the blood sugar levels.
3. Improves colon health.
Cinnamon helps to improve the health of the colon. This ultimately helps in reducing the possibility of fatal diseases like colon cancer.
4.Improves digestive health.
Cinnamon helps in reducing the acidity in the stomach and thus improves the overall digestive health of the person.
5.Enhances the secretion of breast milk.
Cinnamon helps in increasing the secretion of breast milk especially among new mothers.
6.Cinnamon improves metabolism.
Cinnamon supports and enhances metabolism of fats, starches, and many other nutrients. It thus improves the digestion of food in the digestive tract.
7.Helps in lowering blood pressure.
Cinnamon contains a chemical substance that helps in the thinning of blood. When the blood is thin it flows freely in the arteries and the veins. This thin blood puts less pressure on the walls of arteries, thus lowering the blood pressure.
8.Improves blood circulation.
Cinnamon helps in improving the circulation of blood in the body.
9.Puts away bad breath.
Cinnamon is also used to clear up foul smell from the mouth and the gums.
10.Helps during cold.
Cinnamon helps during cold by clearing up a stuffed nose.
Apart from the great enhancement of taste and flavor of your food cinnamon offers so many benefits to your health. It is therefore important to include and increase the quantity of cinnamon to your diet and keep fit and healthy.
Benefits Of Cinnamon1 User Submission
I suggest you update the article to include mention of medical concerns regarding the potential toxicity of Coumarin – present in Cassia Cinnamon, but almost absent from Cinnamon Zeylanicum, the original cinnamon from what we used to call Ceylon and is now Sri Lanka.
I learned about this when researching my own daily breakfast – which includes 1-2 g of cinnamon. My understanding is that this would be a potentially hazardous level of consumption if it was Cassia.
It was quite difficult to find a supplier guaranteed to be only dealing with the Sri Lankan product so, although I appreciate you might not wish to favour a commercial site, I pass on http://srilanka-cinnamon.com/index.html in case anyone else is keen to find a safe supply of this splendid spice.
In fact you'll see on that page they take the opportunity to push the Coumarin message because it obviously favours their own product. But they didn't even know about it until I informed them and advised them to exploit the information.
They are quite reasonably not overstating the case. It is only believed to be a potential hazard, as the article below makes clear, because it has produced a toxic response in animal models. There are no examples in the literature of cinnamon induced coumarin poisoning in humans. However, after reading material like
I didn't feel like being the first!

THe controls are simple, there are not a lot of setting options. This may be a good point, as it forces you to concentrate on your source level. The preamps are very clean. Did a Sitar/djembe live recording with pristine purity. They do not color the sound so count on using a nice preamp or else some mastering tools. Phantom power is included which is a nice touch. It is possible to record 10 inputs simultaneously however you had better be running a dual processor g4 or 5 to run so many inputs and effects at the same time.
I highly recommend this interface. It is high quality. I would say that it is a more portable, cheaper alternative to those who think that the MOTU units are too large. The MOTU will give you more front panel routing options, as well as ADAT interfacing capabilities. (in general, more versatility). The Edirol, however, is simplicity personified, with a plug and play operation unequalled. Ableton Live 4 plus this unit equals a very powerful setup for live performance or recording. Good luck!

In Of Mice and Men many characters are lonely or at least act that way. The characters I think are lonely are Lennie, George, Candy, Crooks, and Curley's Wife. The loneliness in the story is what causes most of the conflict in the story. Everyone in this story is lonely or must have been lonely. I think loneliness is one of the most important parts of this story. Lennie is one of the loneliest characters in the book. He makes friends with animals, he likes to pet them and talk to them even if they are dead. Him being lonely even caused him to get trouble in weed. As a bright side to it, as result he meets his best friend, George, who helps him through the rest of the story. It is truly the best relationship throughout the whole book. Lennie however is still lonely with George. When they get to their new job he gets into even more trouble due to his loneliness; first killing his pup followed by doing the same to Curley's Wife.
Crooks is lonely, however I think he probably most times is just overlooked. No one wants to be with him because of his race. This does take place when there was still segregation. Even his room is set aside from the rest. While everyone sleeps in the bunk house he sleeps out in the stable with the horses. Then one of the only times they spend time with Crooks, in my opinion, was not a pleasurable experience for him.
Candy had his dog. Which he must have really liked and he must have had it for a long time because when everyone else was sick of the dog he still kept him around. This is why I think Candy was sad during the duration of the story or before. Eventually he does let go of the dog but he can't even kill it.
Curley's wife always acts like she is lonely. I say she is most likely acting because there is a possibility that she is the kind of narcissistic person who always needs more and more attention. She is always "looking for Curley" and she ends up mainly just taking to...

I wasn't that surprised Prof. of philosophy Roger Steare's work on morality finds we women come out on top. When it comes to the way we face life's moral dilemmas we're more likely to consider the feelings of others - despite it being 2012 many women are more likely to be "people pleaser's" - sometimes unnecessarily so but many times in the kindest possible way..
I've commented about this in today's Sun newspaper and made a fun moral compass quiz for you to take - have you got the morals of Fagan in Oliver Twist or something a bit higher I hope?
And despite trying to share the load with men we still end up juggling the needs of so many people in our lives from our partners, our children, friends, colleagues and often put ourselves last.
I've written an article that's gone live on MSN UK Her channel about bending to the pressure to get married - as Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get engaged. There are so many people who put you under pressure and my article points out that you need to draw a line with them.
TODAY'S TIP: if it's your children who want you to get married think very carefully about how strongly they feel when they see friends parents married. Children like to fit in and although we should encourage our children to be unique people they are there certain things where they just want to be the same.
Ultimately it's up to you but it might be fun to have your children act as page boy or bridesmaid at your wedding one day.
Take care of yourself, Pamx
I'm excited that my new book 'THE LAWS OF SISTERHOOD - The girlfriends' guide to successful dating and finding the one' is available to preorder on Amazon.

My new book The Emotional Eater's Diet is published in the UK on May 15 - I'm very excited as I hope emotional eaters - women or men will find it helpful. Each year 2/3s of people start a diet and 20% start a new diet each month. Yet 95% of diets aren't successful.
I firmly believe that emotional eating to soothe difficult feelings is the culprit behind most of this failure. My book has a huge range of practical tips/strategies to help understand your emotions and manage your appetite. There are mini-quizes and real case studies.
It's available to preorder on Amazon. Please remember that food can fuel your energy needs but not your emotional needs. Take care!

Merck reaches settlement in privacy violation suit
Merck has reached a settlement with the consumer group that filed a civil lawsuit against more than 25 pharma companies and the supermarket chain Albertson's charging its pharmacies violated patient confidentiality.The terms of the settlement were not disclosed.
The lawsuit, filed by the consumer group Privacy Rights Clearinghouse (PRC), alleges that a number of major pharma companies used information they purchased from Albertson's to contact consumers via direct mail and phone calls. The solicitations appeared to be reminders from concerned local pharmacists to renew a prescription or consider an alternative drug but were really pharmaceutical promotional materials generated from a database sold by Albertson's, the suit alleged.
Initially filed in California's San Diego County Superior Court in May 2004, the lawsuit was amended in Sept. 2004 to specifically name major pharmaceutical companies including Merck, Aventis, Schering-Plough, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, Tap Pharmaceutical Products, Eli Lilly, Novartis, Wyeth, Procter & Gamble, Teva Pharmaceutical, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Allergan, GlaxoSmithKline and others.
Jeffrey Krinsk, an attorney handling the case for PRC told MM&M the consumer group plans to fight an anticipated April motion to dismiss the case by the pharma companies and Albertson's.
The case could enter the "hearing phase" by June, Krinsk said.
Calls to Merck and Albertson's regarding the settlement went unreturned.
In October 2004, Albertson's strongly denied the charges made in the lawsuit to MM&M. "We consider the charges to be false and without merit – and we will vigorously defend ourselves against them," an Albertson's spokeswoman said.

President Obama's New Print: Gary Simmons' 'Starlite Theatre'
Artsy Editorial
Publisher: Tamarind Institute
Gary Simmons references film, architecture, and American popular culture in paintings and drawings that address race, class, and memory on both personal and collective levels. In his 2010 exhibition "Midnight Matinee," Simmons used images of drive-in theater marquees and houses from vintage horror films to reflect on ghosts and abandoned pasts. Simmons has centered much of his practice on erasure. Early on he drew in white chalk on readymade chalkboards or directly onto slate-painted walls, then smudged the images with his hands, and in recent years he has adapted the process to canvas, using pigment, oil paint, and cold wax.

We carry 2 varieties of lavender roses, and ship only those that are at the peak of their growing cycle at the time of your order. Therefore, the shade of lavender and other variables, such as stem length and head size may differ slightly from what is displayed here. You can be assured only the finest roses will be shipped.
NOTE: One of the lavender varieties that we carry (as shown to the left), although considered lavender within the floral trade, is often viewed as dark pink among many consumers when they first arrive. This is due to the dark pink outer petals that are visible when this rose is in bud form. As this variety opens, the lavender color will begin to reveal itself.

Florists usually clean up the roses by removing the dryer and wrinkled outer "guard petals" before you purchase them, and while this improves the initial appearance of the roses, these petals are a natural part of the rose and important to their lifecycle. Removing the outer guard petals will have an adverse affect on the vase life and performance of the bouquet. You will notice that as the rose blooms, that the guard petals will peel back behind the inner petals and they will not be visible.
What To Expect When Your Roses Arrive
Your roses may arrive a bit thirsty after the overnight trip to your door. Please note that the outer "guard petals" may be bruised and slightly brownish or greenish in color, but don't let that fool you. This is completely normal. We do not remove these outer petals as described in the above paragraph. Once they are properly trimmed and placed in water they will re-hydrate, perk up and continue to open over the next several days to reveal beautiful California Blooms!

Extreme Weather Delivery Warning
Many parts of the USA are experiencing extreme weather this time of year and it's important to know that roses - being very delicate - do not hold up well in either very low or very high temperatures. In addition, we ship all orders via FedEx Overnight, and very cold weather often results in service delays. We ask that you do not send our roses into these areas to avoid the disappointment and waste.
You should always check the
Local Forecast
for the recipient's location and desired delivery date prior to placing your order, since we are not responsible for weather related damage. We are happy to help further, so please give us a call at 888-600-8865.
