BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Credit for the classic Buffalo wing goes to Teressa Bellissimo, who developed the dish in the kitchen of the Anchor Bar in 1964. Fifty years later, the Main Street eatery remains a must-see for countless culinary visitors.

But there's no need to confine yourself to one place if you're winging your way to New York's second-largest city; the fiery finger food is a staple at virtually every pizza joint and pub you'll visit.

The fun is that no two wings are quite the same.

Anchor Bar wings sizzle in the deep fryer until crispy. They they're tossed in a bowl with a mixture of butter and cayenne pepper sauce — Frank's RedHot is the preferred brand — just before they are served alongside celery sticks and blue cheese dressing for dipping.

"They're the original, that's the bottom line," said Drew Cerza, who was proclaimed Buffalo's "wing king" after starting the wing festival in 2002.

A trip to Duff's Famous Wings in suburban Amherst offers a different twist on the classic.

While the Anchor Bar serves up a crispy wing, Duff's offers a softer, saucier version.

"They cover the wings after they sauce them and it really allows the sauce to penetrate the skin of the wing," Cerza said.

Watch out for the heat here: "The mild is medium, medium's hot, hot's extra hot and extra hot," said Cerza, "will kill you."

Another option, where attention to detail is the theme, comes from the Bar Bill Tavern, just south of Buffalo in East Aurora.

The secret here — the sauce is applied to every deep-fried wing individually with a paint brush just before serving.

"They never go in a bucket," explained bar manager Joe Morcelle. "When you start shaking wings, it starts breaking up the crispiness."

The individual treatment also ensures the sauce gets into every nook and cranny, Morcelle said. And while most places pile the wings on a plate, the Bar Bill arranges them precisely this way: the five drums on the left, five flats on the right, fanned out to form a circle with the celery and blue cheese in the middle.

"You eat with your eyes," Morcelle said (though you'll still need plenty of napkins for your fingers).

Circling back to the city, another of the "wing king's" favorites is found at La Nova Pizzeria, which has perfected a barbecue wing cooked over charcoal, complete with grill marks.

"They put them on the grill but they keep moving them," Cerza said. "You've got to keep moving them and you can't burn them. It's very tricky. It's an art."

The city also hosts a National Buffalo Wing Festival every Labor Day weekend. The event took its inspiration from the silver screen: When Bill Murray's character in the 2001 movie "Osmosis Jones" set out for the National Buffalo Wing Festival — there was no such thing in real life.

The festival doesn't confine its offerings to the usual. Along with the traditional hot, medium and mild varieties, past offerings have included lime cilantro and chipotle garlic wings, and even a meatless alternative featuring hummus dip and breaded green beans.

A couple of rules if it's a true "Buffalo wing" (and not simply chicken wings) you want: They must be deep-fried, not baked or grilled, have at least a few shakes of hot sauce — and for goodness sake, no breading.

Warns Cerza: "In Buffalo, if you get caught breading a chicken wing it's a misdemeanor."

Office and laboratory expansion will accommodate internal growth and consolidated tissue image analysis services.

Westminster, CO (PRWEB) August 27, 2014

Flagship Biosciences LLC, a leading provider of tissue image analysis services to the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, has announced a laboratory and office relocation and expansion. The fast growing company has consolidated its histology and tissue analysis operations from separate locations in Aurora and Boulder to Westminster, CO, just north of Denver. The new addresses are:

IHC and Histology Lab
7575 W. 103rd Ave.
Suite 100
Westminster, CO 80021

Tissue Image Analysis Lab
7575 W. 103rd Ave.
Suite 102
Westminster, CO 80021

The move will allow for increased efficiencies and deliverables in response to demand for the Company’s services. Flagship’s footprint has more than tripled its square footage space with the consolidation of services, and allows for future expansion and growth.

“We have seen steady growth both in the number and scope of projects, as well as an increase in our number of team members, and a consolidation of services with increased operational space was necessary. Our new location will allow us to continue to grow to meet the demand for our services, and improve logistics in all phases of our operations.” said Trevor Johnson, VP of Operations.

The new location now houses all operations, including histology, immunohistochemistry assay development, slide scanning, tissue image analysis, and client communication. The greatest benefit of the move is in streamlining the early phases of projects by the increased interactions of the histology, biology, pathology and image analysis teams. Aside from the logistical improvements of tissue handling, the expansion will improve communication, reduce turn-around times, and ultimately benefit research companies and patients. With a growing team of pathologists, biologists, analysts, and technicians, the new laboratory and office space will accommodate the continued expansion of Flagship.

The complete pathology service includes tissue sourcing, histology, custom image analysis and pathology reports. The histology laboratory supports immunohistochemistry, immunofluorescence and in situ hybridization for both research and CLIA studies, on multiple autostainer platforms.

Credit card payment processing agency introduces service that will allow businesses to access more features for their online billing practices, including account administration, static and dynamic monthly payments, reporting tools and international payments.

Aurora, ON (PRWEB) August 27, 2014

BNA Smart Payments Systems LTD, located in Aurora, Ontario, announces their new Account Payment Manager service for businesses of all industries. Account Payment Manager allows businesses to actively and securely manage payments through an online portal, streamlining transaction processes while reducing reconciliation time, and managing multiple clients simultaneously.

BNA Smart Payment Systems began offering this service as an alternative to the traditional point of sale (POS) terminal card processing that many businesses use. The new Account Payment Manager service provides an online solution with many features for clients, including detailed account management, tracking and reporting, and US fund deposit without the need to convert to Canadian funds.

This solution has simplified processing repeat and routine customers and removes the need to manually input a customers card details or information each time a payment needs to be made. Merchants that take "card-not-present" transactions, such as those dealing with telephone or online orders, and merchants with repeat customers will see a streamlined and efficient billing process with BNA Smart Payment Systems' Account Payment Manager service.

Jordan Rinaldo, marketing manager for BNA Smart Payment Systems, explained that their current merchants are enjoying being able to manage their clients accounts, payments and required monthly updates all in one simple solution. It is greatly reducing the amount of time each merchant is having to spend on monthly reconciliation, and promotes speed when dealing with multiple payments from multiple clients on a daily basis. This feature is a major source of convenience for all of their merchants.

With the Account Payment Manager, clients can also process one-time payments, or set recurring monthly installments when customers store their billing information in the system. Information is stored securely, so there are no worries for BNA Smart Payments Systems' clients or their customers.

Clients using the Account Payment Manager also enjoy the ability to manage and view their transaction history through in-depth and precise invoices and reporting tools. These tools, along with other account administration features, can be accessed through an online dashboard or via applications created using that reporting tool.

One of the features that clients are sure to benefit from with the Account Payment Manager, said Rinaldo, is the ability for administrators to generate which accounts declined and which accounts were successful when collecting billing payments. This type of reporting can save time for businesses when they need to contact cardholders, remove them from a monthly payment schedule, update their accounts or organize any other payment options to retain their business.

Clients can also set static and dynamic monthly payments for their customers with BNA Smart Payments Account Payment Manager. Static payments can be scheduled on a monthly recurring basis with a specific time/trigger date and a static amount. Account administrators will be able to select the amount to pay and the time and frequency of those payments.

For dynamic monthly payments, cardholders and administrators can use the Account Payment Manager to choose a specific time and date for payments. However, the Account Payment Manager will determine the amount owed on the account at the time of that scheduled payment. The Account Payment Manager can also set a dynamic date and payment amount.

BNA Smart Payment Systems LTD was founded in 2001, and provides merchants with modern and responsive POS products and innovative ecommerce solutions. For more information please contact 1-866-324-7585, or email sales(at)bnasmartpayment(dot)com. Reported by PRWeb 4 hours ago.

Apollo Minerals (ASX:AON) is expected to trade firmer after commencing highly anticipated drilling at the Mars Aurora Tank prospect in South Australia.

The first drill hole will test a strong chargeability anomaly possibly associated with surface gold geochemistry, and the second hole will test an undrilled, non-magnetic dense body in proximity to historic drilling which returned anomalous iron, copper and gold.

Large-scale IOCG targets at Bundi South and other Eaglehawk joint venture sites will also be tested as part of this drill program.

The program consists of 2300 metres of reverse circulation and diamond drill core, and will be Apollo’s largest to date.

Preliminary results will be available from late September.

Apollo is earning a 75% interest in the Mars Aurora Tank from Marmota Energy (ASX:MEU), and holds 100% of the adjacent Mars Prospect situated immediately south.

In July, Apollo raised $2.2 million through a placement of 100 million shares at $0.022 to fund the drilling.

Dominic Tisdell, CEO, commented: “We are very happy to have begun what is our first major copper and gold focused drilling program on the two joint venture properties Apollo has secured the rights to earn 75% interests in – Aurora Tank and Eaglehawk.

"Each project has a number of exciting targets and we look forward to continuing to keep our shareholders informed of results as we continue with this drilling program over the coming months.”

*
High impact drilling*

This drilling program has been keenly awaited by many in the market for several months, which is not surprising given geological and geophysical similarities of the Mars Aurora Tank prospect to the giant Prominent Hill IOCG deposit.

In 2013, Prominent Hill produced 73,362 tonnes of copper and 128,045 ounces of gold contained in concentrates - so if Apollo discovers anything of that magnitude it is likely to do very good things to its share price.

Mars Aurora Tank is just one of a number of large IOCG targets identified as part of the joint venture with Marmota, including the Bundi South target.

These will also be drill tested during this program.*Analysis*

Given the size of the targets and Apollo's lean market cap of around $13 million, market interest in this drill campaign is high.

Interest should continue to gather momentum as drilling progresses and assays draw near, as it is not every day that IOCG targets of this size and potential are drill tested.

Add this to the current drilling at Commonwealth Hill with Robert Friedland's High Power Exploration, and Apollo has multiple high impact price catalysts to look forward to in the immediate future.

The next episode of “Extreme Weight Loss” Season Four introduces Rod, a fun-loving drama coach from Tallahassee, Fla. who longs to audition for roles on Broadway, but his 448-pound frame has made achieving that dream impossible. This episode documents his year-long physical and emotional journey.

Aurora, Colo. (PRWEB) August 28, 2014

The next episode of “Extreme Weight Loss” Season Four introduces a fun-loving man from Tallahassee, Fla. He’s a drama coach who longs to audition for roles on Broadway, but his 448-pound frame has made achieving that dream impossible.

Featuring a unique, non-competitive approach to weight loss transformations, “Extreme Weight Loss” airs Tuesday, September 2 (9:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on the ABC Television Network.

49-year-old Rod always wears a big smile on the outside to hide the self-doubt and unhappiness he keeps buried deep down. He struggles with food addictions and has never told his father he’s gay. Rod realizes that his excess weight and hidden sexuality have kept him from truly expressing who he really is. This episode documents Rod’s year-long physical and emotional journey.

New in Season Four, each “Extreme Weight Loss” participant spends the first 90 days of his or her weight loss journey at the University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center (AHWC) in Aurora, Colo. Holly Wyatt, MD, medical director for the AHWC, also serves as medical director for the television program and is seen on the show each week helping participants safely lose up to half of their body weight.

At the end of this episode Rod will “pay it forward” by giving a friend or family member the opportunity to transform his or her life. The CU Anschutz Health and Wellness Center will provide a scholarship to the one-week, evidence-based “Extreme Weight Loss: Destination Boot Camp” transformation program.

The University of Colorado Anschutz Health and Wellness Center offers some of the country’s most advanced research and science-based expertise, focusing on a comprehensive weight loss and weight management approach, including fitness, nutrition and wellness services.
