Tighter security ordered for some U.S.-bound flights - CNN.com

Read the full article: Tighter security ordered for some U.S.-bound flights - CNN.com:

""We will work to ensure these necessary steps pose as few disruptions to travelers as possible," Johnson said in a statement. "We are sharing recent and relevant information with our foreign allies and are consulting the aviation industry."

Specific steps or airports were not disclosed. A homeland security official said that TSA would work with airlines and security agencies overseas and that the changes will primarily focus on airports in Europe and the Middle East.

The effort does not involve changes to what travelers can take aboard flights. But passengers may see additional inspections of shoes and electronics, additional use of scanners designed to detect trace amounts of explosives, and another stage of screening at boarding gates, in some cases, the official said.

The measures do not involve U.S. domestic flights, and passengers could see changes as early as next week."

Consumer Alert For Wine Lovers | Ruth To The Rescue - ClickOnDetroit

Read the full article: Consumer Alert For Wine Lovers | Ruth To The Rescue - Home - ClickOnDetroit:

"Some wine lovers might want to rethink how they're opening their favorite bottle of red or white wine. A recall has been issued for a device called the Coravin 1000 Wine Access System. This opener works by using a hollow needle to penetrate the cork so it doesn't have to be removed from the bottle.

However, during pressurization the system can cause wine bottles to break.

Coravin has received 13 reports of bottles breaking, including one in which a bottle burst into four pieces and resulted in an injury involving two chipped teeth and a laceration that required stitches, four in which the bottles cracked and leaked, and eight in which bottles broke into two pieces."

Read the full article: Tiger Woods: Pain-free and ready to test his back - USA Today:

"Saying he is pain-free and the risk for re-injury to his back that was operated on March 31 is minimal, Woods is anxious to tee it up with Jason Day and Jordan Spieth in Thursday's first round of the Quicken Loans National.

"Expectations don't change," Woods said when asked if he was here to win. "That's the ultimate goal. It's just that it's going to be a little bit harder this time. I just haven't had the amount of prep and reps that I would like, but I'm good enough to play, and I'm going to give it a go."

Why More Expensive Food just Tastes Better: Study -  Science World Report:

"Researchers at Cornell University discovered that people will pay more for their meals with the idea that the food will taste better than those at a cheaper price.

Summer travelers looking for bigger, longer vacations this year - CNBC:

"Travelers from the U.S. are looking to make more trips to Europe and Asia this summer, Gavin said. While the Asia trips (mainly Thailand, China, the Philippines and Taiwan) are likely due to a 4 percent price drop over last year, the European vacations appear to be catching up to pent-up demand left over from the recession, she said."

ESPN’s Masters ratings plummet without Tiger Woods | For The Win

English: in 2007 Esperanto: en la jaro 2007 (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

ESPN’s Masters ratings plummet without Tiger Woods | For The Win:

"ESPN’s first-round telecast was down 800,000 viewers from last year to a record low of 2 million. That’s the lowest Thursday viewership in the seven years the network has been broadcasting the Masters.

How much of the drop is directly attributable to the lack of Tiger is anyone’s guess. Interestingly, he wasn’t featured in last year’s Thursday broadcast since he teed off early in the day. Could the idea of Tiger, or just his presence on any portion of the leaderboard, really be responsible for a 33% decrease in viewers?"

"Some herbs were better to cook while others were better added to the finished dish. Rosemary, bay leaves, thyme were mostly used for long cooking where their oils would be extracted slowly out of their leaves while sage, oregano, marjoram needed very little cooking time and basil, parsley and mint tossed raw, is enough to get their aroma."
