Nice to see the updated office 365 features right there in the community. Thanks
Thanks for allowing us to see the details associated with the service health.
This is great, but kind of after the fact. Where can I read about upcoming service updates?
I'm needing much interacting with the community, since our Organization this in training and I have a lot to learn is pleased that I thank the partners the opportunities offered.
There is a type in paragraph 7. "won't". Which is it? It's hard to understand what paragraph 7 actually means.
I need to know when the upgrade to 2013 is going to happen. As and office 365 business user and office professional subscriber why are we not updated yet?
Microsoft Office 365 Plan E3 and still no Sharepoint upgrade.
Waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting for the visual upgrade to Sharepoint. Still waiting...
Got my 25 emails this morning from Microsoft saying this upgrade will happen soon. Still waiting..
"v-vivekb" is on a roll today. The notification emails just keep coming...
will Rights Management Services support Office Mac 2011 ? we have been using RMS on premises and Windows Server 2008 R2 supports Office Mac 2011
This type of information should be made more available to the customers of SharePoint and Office 365. In particular, posting it to the admin page of an organization's portal would be a great place to start. I had to do a Google search to find this page.
To be a early adopter does not have a benefit any more. The early birds with Office 365 still have to use the old version - even when the Marketing message was "Always use the latest version automatically.."!
Thanks MS for this experience. This was the last product we supported as early birds, the last "fresh" product we try to push forward.
Good luck with this business approach!
vey good info office 365 is good I will pay this month

The Kawasaki ZX-7R is proof that a motorcycle doesn't have to be the latest, lightest and most powerful to be popular. The Kawasaki ZX-7R was no match for Suzuki's GSX-R750 when launched in 1996 and was never updated significantly until it was deleted in 2003. But people love them and bought the Kawasaki ZX-7R because it looked great and they're ...
599cc, 106bhp, 163mph, Insurance group 14
With its genuine 163mph top speed, six-piston brakes, low'ish insurance group and evil induction noise the Kawasaki ZX-6R G-series is the bike that overnight made the 750cc superbikes look superfluous. Even today it's still considered a capable performer, though the suspension and stoppers will doubtless welcome a fettle.
599cc, 109bhp, 163mph, Insurance group 14
Kawasaki's new-for-2000 ZX-6R got a new swingarm, a revised rear shock and engine internals and a facelift – not good enough to compete with Yamaha's stunning R6 on the track nor Honda's new ally-framed CBR600 on the road. In 2002 it got a beefier 636cc motor, which made it a much improved road tool.

Focus on: Frozen Yogurt
Frozen yogurt is hot: There are countless smoothie shops, QSRs and casual restaurants that menu the cool, creamy stuff. But the product leading the charge isn't the ice cream imitator popularized by chains like TCBY in the '80s. That sweet soft-serve with a slightly tangy edge is still available, but concepts like Menchie's, Yogurtland, Red Mango and Pinkberry are focusing on tart frozen yogurt with health-promoting probiotics and live cultures.
"The tart frozen yogurt category has grown 14 percent in sales volume and is expected to grow 80 percent by 2012," reports Daniela Province, associate brand manager for Dreyer's Foodservice, which markets frozen yogurt under the Dreyer's and Edy's brands. "Tart yogurt has a cleaner, more lemony finish and a healthier appeal. It's suitable for breakfast or lunch—not just snacking or dessert," she adds.
Although the biggest customers are frozen yogurt chains, segments on the rise include airports, amusement parks, corporate and college locations and casual dining concepts like Souplantation & Sweet Tomatoes.
In addition to tart, Dreyer's also offers regular nonfat and lowfat frozen yogurts and a custom flavor system that can be applied to all three yogurt bases. The system offers
26 flavors in shelf-stable 32-ounce containers, including unique and seasonal flavors such as apple, pear, honeydew, acai berry and pomegranate. "We had lots of feedback from customers saying that they wanted more fruit flavors," says Province. "Chocolate and vanilla are still dominant, but fruits like strawberry, mango and blueberry work especially well with the tart format."
When evaluating a soft-serve frozen yogurt, there are certain characteristics that determine quality. "The product should have a good balance of sweet and tangy flavors, a fair amount of stiffness so it can be dispensed through a machine, and a smooth, rich and creamy texture. An icy, watery mouthfeel is undesirable," says Chris Bolt, brand manager for Dreyer's Foodservice. Should you opt for traditional nonfat or lowfat yogurt or the tart variety? "Consider your end user," Bolt advises. "Some customers just care about the 'treat' value of frozen yogurt, while others care about the 'better for you' aspects of live, active cultures in the tart varieties."
While frozen yogurt concepts are equipped with multiple dispensing machines, an increasing number of which are self serve, operations without machines can also sell frozen yogurt in scoops or single-serve containers. Blue Bunny, for example, offers a line of "Personals" all-natural frozen yogurt in flavors like white chocolate raspberry, bordeaux cherry chocolate and caramel praline crunch—convenient to sell for a grab-and-go snack or dessert.

Yes comrades... so... Buenos Aires?
Fucking great show. It always is in that place. It never disappoints. Big crowd, about 10,000!! Just like the old days (man)!!
The gig itself was out doors right beside a busy railway line and quite near an airport AND it was a full moon! At times it was like playing inside a mad video game.
My favourite banner read: NOEL..ADOPT ME PLEASE!!!! Funny that innit? They love a banner down here let me tell you. Now the gig was being filmed and will probably make it onto Youtube at some point. Please look out for what can only be described as an "interesting" version of Supersonic... it started quite badly... stopped... started again... didn't get much better until it died a sorry death.
The best bit though - and I do hope this comes across on the footage - is right at the very end just at the point where I go into the very last chord... there's a dramatic pause... and right on cue a train passes and honks its horn... very discordant and very loud!! It was maybe the greatest review of a performance in the history of all music.
Argentina I love you. See you next time.
You currently find me in Paraguay.
Lord have mercy!!!!!!!

This soup was so delicious!!! I'm going to make it again tonight. Thanks for the great recipe!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3/16/09, 8:55 AM
Gina, would you be able to tell me how many calories and fat grams are in this soup. I am doing a different diet and if this is low enough in calories and fat I could replace the soups I have to buy from them. Thank you for any info you can give me. firstname.lastname@example.com
Sure, each serving is 45 calories and has 1.4 grams of fat using Dairyland Light Sour Cream and 99% fat free College Inn Chicken broth. Parmesan cheese would be extra.ReplyDelete

I finally made the soup and it is fabulous. I was a big naughty and added a little more sour cream and curry powder. I eat it cold. bapkinsReplyDelete
DELICIOUS! I made this last night and have to admit that it looked a little strange after being pureed, but it tasted fantastic. I brought leftovers in for lunch. A great low point lunch or dinner, but doesn't taste low point! I really have loved everything that I've made from your website so far. :)ReplyDelete
Yes, this is a favorite in my house! And so easy to make...ReplyDelete
Random question for you- LOVE the soup! If I make it and leave out the sour cream for now, could I can the soup in a pressure cooker? I tried freezing the soup and it was OK, but when we lost power due to terrible weather, I lost most of what was frozen. Just wondering...ReplyDelete
@Debra, I'll be honest, I don't know too much about canning. I normally freeze my leftovers.ReplyDelete

This reminds me of South Beach's Broccoli Soup Recipe, except thiers doesn't call for sour cream and obviously uses broccoli instead of zucchini. Never the less, a 1 point soup is definatly an accomplishment. Well done! =)ReplyDelete
I bet it's good with broccoli!ReplyDelete
This soup is so delicious, my husband said he could have it every night!!ReplyDelete

Would it be a problem to use a blender to puree the soup ? I don't have nothing else available.

I can't believe how tasty this soup is. It'll be one of my oft repeated soups, for sure. Thanks so much for the whole site. I'm new to it and this is the first thing I have tried.ReplyDelete
A blender is fine, just fill it half way or it will explode.ReplyDelete
I'm glad you all enjoyed this soup. I love the simplicity of this! Enjoy.

Another great cream of zucchini (or broccoli, spinach, mushroom, etc.) soup is simmer 1 cup of vegetable until soft in 1 cup of chicken stock.ReplyDelete
When the vegetable is soft take soup off the heat - add in 1 laughing cow cheese wedge and blend with a stick blender. Add salt and pepper to taste. 1 point for 2 cups of delicious soup!!
Laughing cow, never thought of using that. Thanks for sharing!ReplyDelete

Hi Gina! Im a new reader to your blog, I love it! Thanks for the great and healthy recipes! I was wondering if for this receipe...and other soups- can I use veg. broth? Do you think it would come out the same? Thanks!ReplyDelete
Yes, you could always substitute vegetable broth for chicken broth!ReplyDelete

This is great - I freeze it in individual containers, and re-heat one around 4 PM. I find I am way less hungry at dinner time! Works for me. Thanks for your recipies - and the time you take. Patvancan.ReplyDelete
That's a idea. As a kid, we had soup with every meal. It's a great way to fill up on something healthy and eat less.ReplyDelete

This soup is delicious! I've made it with different vegetables: zucchini, yellow squash, broccoli, and a veggie medley (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots). The vegetable medley was my favorite!ReplyDelete

Just made this soup and am very excited to try it! I see that you have 65 calories on your above nutrient information, but answered a reply with 45 calories per serving. What is the correct calorie count? Thanks and I LOVE this website!ReplyDelete
I made this last night and split up for a side for lunches this week. Tastes great!! I don't know that my family's taste buds would agree on this one. But I love it!! Thank you!!ReplyDelete
I made this today and instead of using red-fat sour cream I used FF sour cream and that made it all power foods so it fits in with the Simply Filling program so I can just eat it and not count points for it. Loved it.ReplyDelete
delicious and beautiful! also, EASY!!! not sure if my hubby will eat it, but definitely adding this as a staple to my WW life. thank you!ReplyDelete
Gina- Ok so, I've been a "lurker" on your blog for about 4 months now, making TONS of your recipes but never leaving comments. I've finally decided that I needed too. EVERYTHING I have made from your site has been absolutely delicious, even my DH raves about your recipes (and he's a total food snob.) I have the barbacoa beef in the crockpot right now for din tonight :) Question about this soup...I'm making it now, and put all the ingredients into my recipe builder and its coming up as 1+ for a 1/4 serving. Am I doing something wrong? How did you get 2+? THANK YOU!!!! :)ReplyDelete
Christy- I'm not sure why, I calculate the nutrtional info, then use the calculator rather than using recipe builder, so it could be the databases are slightly different.ReplyDelete
This was excellent! My daughter has a dairy allergy so I substituted tofutti better than sour cream for the sour cream. Thanks so much, Gina :)ReplyDelete
- Sally1/22/11, 4:06 PM
This was absolutely delicious, I used a large onion, 4 cloves garlic and some Badia Sazon and left out the sour cream,so so good.ReplyDelete

Gina, I have been making this soup since I saw it on your website. I'm the one who eats it cold. Well now I am in Weight Watchers and I can quite understand why this soup is 2 Points Plus. I thought all broth is free and so is vegetables. I double your recipe and I use 4 tablespoons for 124oz. of soup. I just don't see how it is a 2. Could you help me here with this. Thank you, BarbaraReplyDelete
- Anonymous2/8/11, 4:09 PM
This is Barbara again, I meant I use 4 tbsp. sour cream.ReplyDelete
Have you put this into recipe builder to see if you get different results?ReplyDelete
- Emma2/14/11, 9:00 PM
Hi, I just tried this soup and I love it.ReplyDelete
I substituted light cream cheese for the sour cream and also got 1 ProPoint (I think the Australian propoints are equal to the US Points
+) in the recipe builder.
Anyway, I will definitely be having this often. It would be a great 5pm snack when I'm going to a restaurant for dinner. Nice and filling, to reduce temptation later.
Well I like 1 pt better than 2!!ReplyDelete

Hi, Thanks for a great site full of wonderful recipes. I just found this and I have tried 3 recipes and loved them all. Do you know about how much frozen zucchini I would use in place of the 3 zucchinis, I have some in my freezer I would love to use for this recipe. I bought 2 zucchini at the store today for another recipe and it was almost 4$. I am thinking 3-6 cups maybe?? Thanks so much I shared this website at WW last week also, is there a spot on here that we can share recipes with you? If you like them you could add them?ReplyDelete
4 cups maybe? Not sure really.ReplyDelete

Hi Gina~ I just finished making and eating this soup. I have a question is it supposed to be thin or a little on the thicker side? I didn't have a immersion blender so I dumped mine into a blender and might have over blended it! LOL The taste was GREAT,and will be making it again!!ReplyDelete
It really depends on how much zucchini is in the soup, it's not terribly thick.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3/24/11, 8:25 AM
I made this soup last night - so delicious and so healthy!ReplyDelete
We used to eat a version (more fat I'm sure) of this soup growing up every summer. We always ate it cold with Fritos. I made it your way but substituted plain non-fat Greek yogurt for the sour cream. It was still a bit thin from what I was used to so I put a spoonful of mashed avocado in each bowl before I served it. Yum! I ate mine cold (made it the night before) but my kids and husband prefer it warm. Thanks!ReplyDelete

This soup was so good by itself, but I'm thinking it would make a great base for other soups... just add stuff to it!

- Evelyn8/10/11, 11:14 PM
I've made zucchini bread from this site and a zucchini casserole both of which my husband and I just love! So, I still have zucchinis and decided to make this soup after reading all of the raving reviews. I made it this evening and I'm getting ready to try it but I must admit the smell is gross to me and I had to "doctor it up" a little for our taste. It was a lot thinner than I expected so I boiled a red potato, mashed it and added to thicken it some. Also, added a little creole seasoning to spice it up a little. I know the pts have gone up but we don't do Weight Watchers, I just love the recipes because they are healthy.ReplyDelete
I LOVED this one too! I've been on a skinnytaste binge lately! Used 0% Greek Yogurt (plain) instead of sour cream. Eating it for lunch as we speak!ReplyDelete

I made this with slight changes, but that's just due to personal choices/tastes.

Hi! I just made this, this afternoon, and it was pretty tasty! I had a giant zucchini, so I used 2/3 of it. Not as thick as I was hoping it'd be but from reading your comments on here, I think it had to do with the zucchini amount I put in. I'm not a part of weight watchers, but I'm looking to get my Mom involved with the points plus program. I had to add a few goldfish to it though, I love my soup with just a few cheesy crackers!ReplyDelete

Made this soup last night. Im not a veggie fan at all, but I figgured I needed to widen my taste buds. This soup was great!!! Had to add a little more garlic and a bit more salt, but it was wonderful! And very filling!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/25/12, 11:47 AM
Wow! With so few ingredients this just didn't sound like it could possibly be as good as you stated but it is fantastic. It's one of my favorite soups now.ReplyDelete
Oh, wow. I've never liked zucchini in anything but baked goods or fried and dipped in ranch dressing. This soup is sooo deliciious. I added a few drops of Tabasco to my bowl.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/28/12, 11:54 AM
I printed this recipe a while ago and had forgotten about it, and came across it today when I was looking for something else. I had some zucchini that had to be used soon, so I made this soup. It is really, really good! (I added a bit of dried basil to mine.) I put a couple of tablespoons into a small bowl to try it, and ended up eating a full bowl because I couldn't resist it. Thanks, Gina, for another great (and easy) recipe.ReplyDelete
My kids did not say a word until they finish the bowl :)ReplyDelete
I ran across this recipe a year or so ago. Wrote down the ingredients, but failed to bookmark the site. Made the recipe... LOVE, LOVE, LOVED IT! Since then I have made it many times. Tried to find you again so I could thank you. Today, I spotted this on Pinterest. I just want to say I think this recipe is delish (and can't get easier!) thanks for posting it!ReplyDelete
I have been into different instant soup flavor that are available in the supermarket. Now, I want to prepare one from scratch. I like this recipe and I wish I can make it right. :)ReplyDelete

I am an Army wife (yes, a male Army wife). My wife was deployed to Iraq, and we have three boys. I had to learn my way around the kitchen in a hurry. I have made about four of your recipes so far (not counting this soup on the stove right now, and the Barbacoa Pork marinating in the fridge) and it is so nice to be eating healthy. My wife is back now, and VERY impressed with my skills. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!ReplyDelete
Hi thereReplyDelete
Wanted to ask a question as I have never used a zuchini before - do I just use the skin of the zuchini and throw the rest out? Sorry if this is a daft question just not sure?
Mags....keep the skin on; cut off the 'tip' of the zucchini (and throw the tip out); chop the zucchini in large chunks as Gina wrote in the recipe and off you go... hope this helps.Delete
I make the same soup - only difference I do is use 'light laughing cow cheese' (one wheel) and it is super good... I will try with low fat sour cream. The kids eat it all up and the next day is even better (if any leftover) ... thanks ginaReplyDelete
- Anonymous5/22/12, 8:35 PM
I have a question...ReplyDelete
this soup looks awesome, but I dont get how it could be 2 points... the only thing that is ANY points is the sour cream, but for all the reduced fat sour cream added its only 1 point, so wouldnt this soup be like .5 point maybe? Or am I doing my WW math wrong? Im trying it no matter what, it looks great!
Really yummy recipe - just curious, any thoughts on how it could be made a little thicker in consistency without adding too many more calories?ReplyDeleteReplies
- Anonymous6/9/12, 12:55 PM
I used fat free greek yogurt instead of sour cream, and it was nicely thick.Delete
I just love thisReplyDelete
- Anonymous6/13/12, 12:33 PM
I made the zucchinin soup last night and both myself and husband loved it. I f I made this up to the point of adding the sour cream could I freeze it for in the winter? That way I can use fresh zucchini from the garden. Then just defrost and warm and add the sour cream.
This soup is good. I made up a batch last night, and it goes so well with my sandwich at lunch. I am going to try to the other soups!ReplyDelete
Would I be able to freeze this soup if I made a medium size batch of it?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous7/8/12, 8:51 PM
Made this for the first time, thought it was very good and easy. I added 1/2 can of coconut milk and extra curry after I pureed it. YumReplyDelete
This is REALLY GOOD!!! I had my mind made up that it would be bland and tasteless. Am I ever glad that I just tried it. Love that it is so low calories too, I can have a cup whenever I want. Also,a great way to use up all the zucchini from my garden.ReplyDelete

Any ideas on how to freeze large amounts of zucchini in the freezer to use for breads, soups, and salads in the winter time?
- Vivian9/17/12, 12:32 PM
I weigh out 1 lb. of zucchini, shred it and then dump it onto a couple layers of paper towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Put the pulp into a medium freezer bag, label, seal and press flat. That goes into the freezer for use later in the year.ReplyDelete

I made this yesterday..The amount of flavor in this soup is incredible! Sooo tasty! For just 2 points, I used it as my starter for dinner last night, and lunch today. soo good!!ReplyDelete
- Bombaymama9/28/12, 9:29 AM
I just made this! So good! I used homemade chicken stock that I made out of roasted chicken carcass, it is definitely not fat free, but very silky and rich so I left out the sour cream. Great, easy recipe! I might add some fresh herbs next time.ReplyDelete
- Anonymous10/6/12, 5:28 PM
This soup was amazing! I must say I was rather surprised being that there are only a few ingredients. The only thing I did different was, I sauteed the onions and garlic cloves in about a teaspoon of olive oil to get some color on them, the proceeded with the rest of the recipe. Amazing!ReplyDelete

Could you substitute vegetable broth instead of the chicken? Thanks.ReplyDelete

I'm always looking for vegetable based light soups to have as a first course. I've found if I have a cup 1/2 hour before dinner my appetite is in much better control during the meal. This one is a winner! I substituted yogurt and loved it! Thanks so much!ReplyDelete
Gina -ReplyDelete
Could I add cauliflower to this and eliminate the sour cream instead? My entire family is lactose intolerant and apparently has a problem with Soy, so even the Soy sour cream and yogurts are out of the question.
Super easy and great flavor. Yum!ReplyDelete
I absolutely love this soup! I have made it once and have been craving it ever since. In fact, I bought an immersion blender on Black Friday so I could use it for this recipe (the blender didn't work out so well for me, I didn't know it had to cool down before doing that and hot liquid went everywhere)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1/15/13, 5:21 PM
any suggestions on a 2nd course to pair with this? thanks!ReplyDelete
Made this tonight in combo with a Greek salad. Was good for us vegetarians - just subbed chx stock for veg stock, omitted the sour cream completely and added some silken tofu for protein. So I guess it turned out vegan not even on purpose. Was delish for a light dinner. LOVE skinnytaste!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous3/24/14, 8:26 PM
I guess I did something wrong, because it did not turn out delicious (although it looked and smelled great). It didn't taste like zucchini at all, and was just...it wasn't good. :/ I might give it a try with a different veggie; maybe butternut squash?ReplyDelete
- Anonymous4/1/14, 4:23 PM
I found this recipe on the vegetarian section. While I'm sure this soup is delicious, the fact that it includes chicken stock means it's not vegetarian, just so you know for future recipes.ReplyDelete

FINAL SALE Strapless Chiffon Dress with Ruffle Detail Style 460849 4 4
Don't Pass This UP! This dress was awesome with my fur over the shoulders. This dress was a winter wedding dream come true. It was cold and rainy on my wedding day so the train on the dress was just right I did not need 2 or 3 people holding my dress up out of the mud I was able to do it all by myself. I will get the train removed and use this dress as my Easter Dress I love this dress. March 28, 2014
Amazing I bought this dress in a size 4 and I LOVE it. It fits me perfectly. I don't even need to take it in for alterations. October 7, 2013
Very disapointed I just received this dress today; am sad to say I am going to have to ship it back. Like the other review, the bust area is loose and floppy (there is NO boning in the bust area, so if you are a big girl like me on top, this dress is just going to sag on you!). And hate to say it, but the bum area of the dress was extremely skin tight, despite the top being loose. So it was an ill-fitting dress to say the least. And the material was very thin and flimsy. January 28, 2013
Not at all as pictured Bought this dress for a Jamaica destination wedding and was super disappointed when it arrived. It is completely see-through and the construction is sloppy and not good quality. The top overlay around the bust is loose and messy. The ruffles around the bust and down the front are not as nicely "fluffed" out as in the picture. Well back to the drawingboard. All of David's "beachy" dresses are online only. So it seems as if this is going to be a long process of ordering, paying to ship back and re-ordering. I guess you get what you pay for. :( January 24, 2013

Few garden plants will survive waterlogging or flooding. Prolonged periods of sitting in ground saturated with water causes yellow leaves, root rot and death. However, conditions can be improved using various techniques to promote drainage and prevent damage.
Bog gardensChalky soilsChalky soils: plants forClay soilsClay soils: plants forGardening in a changing climateGardening on wet soilsPhytophthora root rotTrees for wet soilsWaterlogged lawns Gardening Matters - Front Gardens
Soils become waterlogged when water builds up, unable to drain away. This leaves no air spaces in the saturated soil, and plant roots literally drown.
Short-lived flash floods after a downpour seldom harm most plants. It is prolonged, saturated soil that cause the most damage.
Symptoms of waterlogging are not easy to tell from other disorders but look for the following;
Some of the symptoms are easily confused with water stress (too little water). But in fact, a waterlogged plant actually is water stressed. This is because the roots are drowning and can not absorb any water or nutrients to move around the plant.
Excess water causes problems for plants in a number of ways;

by Brett Yates
May 12, 2011
I'm traveling in Europe this spring and summer. I'm very
fortunate to be doing this, and I want to make the most of the
opportunity. By this I mean that I'd like to understand, to some
degree, the sights I'm taking in - to have a sense of the
significance of these grand old buildings and priceless works of
art. Europe, as we all know, is the place of history and culture,
and while here I want to understand why one palace was built in the
fashion it was built in, why a sculpture was sculpted in one manner
instead of another. In every country, I want to know who lived here
and what they were like. I don't want to come back to the United
States, as so many kids do, feeling that the only European
experiences that meant something to me were the ones that took
place in bars.
It's really embarrassing for me to admit to myself how little I
know about the Western world that I inhabit. I've reached the point
where, occasionally, I actively avoid learning about it so as not
to call my attention to the paltriness of the information I already
possess. But before leaving for Europe, I felt I had to admit to
unworldliness and start educating myself. It was a big step for me.
I hadn't read a nonfiction book in quite a while.
It was unfortunate, however, that I didn't begin my quest for
understanding until about a week before the trip. Here are the
books that I read in preparation for my voyage:
1. "The Annotated Mona Lisa: A Crash Course in Art History from
Prehistoric to Postmodern" by Carol Strickland: I read this book
over a span of two days, and it seemed quite illuminating at the
time. I found out not only which movements various artists belonged
to but, in the book's better sections, why those movements sprung
up in the first place. Sometimes, Strickland's descriptions of the
painters are banal - everyone was a pioneer and a rule-breaker, but
the author doesn't devote enough time to the (presumably) banal art
whose rules were being broken to understand why. A few days after
reading this, I felt I'd forgotten most of the facts I'd learned,
but I'm hoping that, as I visit some art museums, they'll return to
me and inform my impressions of the paintings.
2. "Europeana: A Brief History of the Twentieth Century" by
Patrik Ou?edník: I felt I didn't know enough about WWI or WWII, but
really this is more a work of literature than of straight
nonfiction. That's not to say that its contents are untruthful; I
mean that it uses a poetic style - a kind of reverberant deadpan,
humorously clinical and yet very affecting - to induce an emotional
understanding of a century marked not only by incredible horrors
but also by a lot of other stuff, and it's less interested in
communicating facts designed to be memorized. Ou?edník is a Czech
novelist. He's really good.
3. "A Short History of Europe: From Charlemagne to the Treaty of
Lisbon" by Gordon Kerr: The sad truth is that I read this book
simply because it covered the longest stretch of European history
(1250 years) in the fewest pages (150). Much of it reads as though
it was copied and pasted from Wikipedia. You learn about a million
wars (when they started, when they ended), but you learn about the
causes of only a few of them. (The fact is that Europe simply had
way too many.) Some of the stuff about the Reformation and the
Counter-Reformation was educational for me, but I'd forgotten
almost everything in this book by the time I'd turned the final
page, and I'm fairly certain that it's gone for good.
4. "A Very Short Introduction to Economics" by Partha Dasgupta:
Economics doesn't have anything more to do with Europe than it does
with anywhere else, but I felt that in attempting to bolster my
understanding of the world in general it would be useful to pick up
a book on the subject. Writing for the Oxford University Press's
extensive "Very Short Introductions" series, Dasgupta does a good
job of explaining how economic analysis is applied to explain why
life is the way it is in various parts of the world, and this - to
have a totally logical explanation for why Africa is different from
India, which is different from the United States, and so on -
seemed kind of awesome to me, although I was lost whenever he
employed any math. His worldview also seemed kind of depressing,
though, in that he seemed to reduce the entire human destiny to
producing and consuming, as though every source of happiness and
every impediment to it were a result of economics. In any case, I
think I have a general sense now of what economists do, so I guess
the book was successful.
5. "Experiencing Architecture" by Steen Eiler Rasmussen: There's
very little architectural history in this book (fortunately, "The
Annotated Mona Lisa" contained some), and it won't help you
classify a building you see into any particular school or movement.
Rather, it deals with ways of looking at buildings and of
understanding them. It describes philosophies of architecture and
tries to convey what architects are thinking about when they design
structures. The idea that architecture is not so much the art of
constructing solid forms but of creating spaces - that is, the idea
that the most significant shapes in a building are not the ones you
can see but the shapes comprised of air, within the solid
structures - was novel to me, yet I feel right now that I won't
experience great architecture much differently than I did before
reading this (i.e., with a kind of awed indifference). Written in
1959 and translated from the Danish, Rasmussen's book manages to be
both quite lucid and, somehow, quite beyond me.

Final thoughts on The Bureau: XCOM Declassified (review)(0)
Established after the success of BioShock, 2K Marin's history has been tied to other franchises. This is the developer that worked on the BioShock port to the PlayStation 3 and the inevitable BioShock 2. If that weren't enough, the team even did a little work on BioShock Infinite as well. If fans didn't know any better, they'd be a studio known as the BioShock B team.
But 2K Marin is more talented than most folks give them credit for, and the team finally has a chance to show what itcould do with The Bureau: XCOM Declassified. For the most part, this is an original spin-off. Yes, it's set in the XCOM universe but the origin story and its requisite gameplay elements are innovative.

Written by Thomas E. Brewton
Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel has simply changed the way he proposes to ration healthcare.
Dr. Emanuel, the brother of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, is Special Advisor for Health Policy to Peter Orszag, the Director of the Office of Management and Budget.
Sara Palin and others annoyed proponents of a National Socialist Healthcare scheme by noting the Dr. Emanuel has opined that rationing medical care is a necessity. In an effort to douse what has become a raging forest fire of disapproval, White House spinmeisters have concocted the following statement from Dr. Emanuel, quoted in the Washington Times:
"When I began working in the health policy area about 20 years ago ... I thought we would definitely have to ration care, that there was a need to make a decision and deny people care," said Dr. Emanuel...
"I think that over the last five to seven years ... I've come to the conclusion that in our system we are spending way more money than we need to, a lot of it on unnecessary care," he said. "If we got rid of that care we would have absolutely no reason to even consider rationing except in a few cases."
What is the distinction between rationing medical care and eliminating care that the Federal government's health panels regard as unnecessary? In how few cases, on what criteria, would Big Brother nonetheless ration care?
The only truly and consistently unnecessary medical care, and the costs are huge, is doctors having to order every imaginable test and procedure to forestall malpractice litigation by the tort bar. If Dr. Emanuel, the President, and other officials of the Democrat/Socialist Party really wanted to reduce medical costs, they would legislate a stop to the tort bar's extortions. They will not do so, of course, because the tort bar is one of the Democrat/Socialist Party's chief sources of campaign funding.
Another extract from the Washington Times article, which also quotes Dr. Emanuel's earlier essays advocating rationing of medical care:
The charges of rationing, or concerns about his language in journal articles, Dr. Emanuel said, is somewhat understandable given that he was "writing really for political philosophers, and for the average person it's not what they're used to reading, even if they've had a good liberal education."
[Note, by the way, that both Adolph Hitler and Benito Mussolini qualify as political philosophers under Dr. Emanuel's definition]
Nonetheless, a spokesman for Sen. Tom Coburn, Oklahoma Republican and a practicing physician, said the senator remains "concerned about the rationing provisions in the House and Senate bills."
Coburn spokesman John Hart said: "On three different occasions during the [Senate Health, Education and Labor and Pensions] committee markup, Dr. Coburn and other Republicans attempted to insert language prohibiting rationing.
"All three amendments were voted down, which suggests that Democrats do, in fact, want to preserve the ability to ration care," Mr. Hart said.

I write to you from Buenos Aires, Argentina, expecting a baby girl on 19th of Feb! My husband and I have a 2 year old son named Agustin Marcelo (said Ah-goo-steen in Spanish) which was lucky, because it can easily be pronounced in English, and my family will be moving to Virginia, U.S.A. about four months after the new baby is born.
We have not come up with any names we are seriously considering so far because we are wanting to be extremely cautious about the bilingual factor. We will be in the US for 10 years at the least, so our children will clearly be raised very American. I myself spent my high school years in Washington, and as a Marcela, I know the troubles of having a name that is not pronounceable in the country where one is living, and I do not want that to happen to my daughter.
The only names we've really liked so far are impossible to pronounce in English, so let us start from scratch. We like very lovely, long names, although short is fine too. Hopefully it will sound nice with Agustin (with the English pronunciation too). We would also love for the middle name to be Magdalena or Isabel, but it is not necessary. Hopefully it would not be too common a name in the US. We do not really like common names (we have looked at Andrea, Julia, etc, but they do not appeal). Also, we are inclined toward nickname-able names (Agustin is called Agu, I am Marce, my husband Feli).
Sorry if that is very much to ask! Of course not all the criteria needs to be met, just some things we am looking for.
These are, for me, the hardest questions to answer. I feel pretty solid with U.S. names, but nowhere near familiar enough with other countries' names or pronunciations---let alone the connotations of names, which is the hardest part for a non-local to get a feeling for, or to research---to even make a start at it.
But this is the beauty of the internet: we can pool our knowledge. And so I post this question, even though I'm unable to answer it, and I hope others will be able to work on it.

Customer reviews
Another great game from Double Fine Productionsxarabas02 | April 6, 2014 | See all xarabas02's reviews »
If you still feel the need to play some more quality adventure games after Psychonauts or Costume Quest, then The Cave is definitely a game for you! It features seven playable characters with three to choose from at any moment so replay value is pretty good in that aspect. You will also be impressed with great level design and amazing soundtrack. Humor is also one of the other selling points about this game, but it's not like you would expect anything less from a game made by talented bunch of Double Fine.
There May Be Unforseen ConsequencesCrimsonWizard | Jan. 31, 2014 | See all CrimsonWizard's reviews »
The Cave is a Platform Adventure game starring seven (technically eight) characters who seek out the title dropping cave in their quest for their greatest desire, or perhaps redemption. The Double Fine team did an excellent job in keeping things ambiguous enough with the story to give The Cave some mystery and intrigue while still helping you understand the motivations and backstory of the characters you choose. The humorous wit of Ron Gilbert is in full effect here from the snarky comments from the narrator who voices the cavern itself, to the colorful supporting characters along the way.
In terms of gameplay, The Cave plays like a mix between LucasArts' classic adventure Maniac Mansion and Blizzard's (from long long ago) Lost Vikings. Both titles gives you a team of three characters to navigate puzzles using each hero's unique ability, using Maniac Mansion's humor while Lost Viking's level based structure and platform elements are used in lieu of one interconnected area you click around on. It's a good idea to mix, but The Cave doesn't do either particularly well with the platforming rather basic, the puzzles being decent, but nothing that's going to test your brain too hard, and it's overall a bit short.
It also pulls another page from Maniac Mansion that's hurts it a bit. Since you can only go through the adventure with three characters, you only get to see three of the interesting stories play out at a time. That means to really see everything, you need to play at least 3 times. One could argue that this is part of the reason the game is shorter, so that you can replay with the new characters to experience more of the stories. It's rather tedious though when only certain levels are changed for the characters, but others are completely the same as the first play-through. Also, the fact that each character has a unique ability is mostly wasted. Outside of their unique level, each character only really gets to use their special ability once or twice total in other stages. In contrast, other puzzle platformer games like Lost Vikings or the Trine games require constant teamwork to navigate each stage. While I'd argue that The Cave trumps both games in story, it's sorely lacking in terms of gameplay.
On a good note, one thing I can compare The Cave to with Trine is that this game looks really nice. Despite being in a cave, Double Fine did a great job making every area unique and adding little details to make their world stand out, adding to the mystery and the stories of the characters. While the music is forgettable ambiance, the voice work of The Cave's narrator is well done, really hitting you right at home when you've acted on something.
Overall, this game feels like a Double Fine game. What does that mean? It means that they've managed to build up a very unique world with great visuals, interesting characters with dark pasts, good voicework to add to the mood, and gameplay that sounds good on paper, but doesn't execute as well as you'd hope. It's not bad, and the sum of it's parts is great, but The Cave leaves me with the same feeling I had with recent titles the developer made like Costume Quest where I wanted to like it more than I did. It's no Psychonauts, but if you're looking at The Cave as an story experience with some simple puzzles to vary the pattern, then give it a go. If you're looking for a game though with meatier gameplay while still retaining some wit and fantastic graphics, try out Trine 1 and 2 instead.
Best platformer of 2013gforcesa | Dec. 25, 2013 | See all gforcesa's reviews »
One of the best platformers i've played this year.In the beginning you have to choose a couple of characters to play as.in the entire game.Each character has a different ability and has their own story.The graphics are very enjoyable and the art of the levels is greatly done.When you complete the game you might want to go back and play it with different characters which will add a whole new experience to the game.Double Fine have made a great game and i recommend you try it out
Cave-aliciousTPCGorillaMunch | Nov. 23, 2013 | See all TPCGorillaMunch's reviews »
The Cave is a fun game in which the player chooses three characters to use from seven, with each character having a different ability. Using the three chosen characters the player must complete different puzzles, some can be quite difficult.
The game is reasonably short, however, can be replayed using different characters giving a different story and different levels unique to each character. The cave is quite dark and humorous and an enjoyable game that is worth playing.
The game is very fun played in single player but even better when played with a friend.
Surprisingly dark.MSJ | Nov. 21, 2013 | See all MSJ's reviews »
Despite the art direction, the darker elements of the game is a pleasant surprise. Each of the characters you can play have their own backgrounds that gets revealed through both their own unique levels and the great comic panels you can find throughout the game. None of the stories also necessarily end with a poetic comeuppance too. The narrator can be annoying for some, I find his presence tend to liven thins up a bit.
The puzzles are mostly pretty simple to figure out, but the execution can be complicated due to the player having to manage three characters (but you can only control one at a time). The characters also have to be brought to a location individually, except at the start or end of certain sequences. Backtracking is thus a must, and it can get tedious. I must also complain that despite each character having a unique ability most of the time they are unused except in the aforementioned character-specific level.
It's a fairly short game, and you can replay it at least once to see all the unique character stories. It will satisfy your adventure game puzzle-solving itch, and the characters can be memorable, but in the end it is let down a bit by some of the design decisions.

PERSONAL HISTORY about the writer's experience managing his family farm in Pakistan. After finishing college at Dartmouth, writer decides to return to Pakistan, where he will inherit a family-owned farm in the south of the Punjab province. His family had become prosperous landowners during the nineteenth century, but, by the time of his graduation in the late eighties, his father lived in Lahore in a state of threadbare stateliness and aristocratic decline, his large house infested with flunkies and hangers-on. Writer's father died shortly after his arrival. Writer travelled to the farm, where he met the group of managers who had been running things: suave, ruthless, cunning operators, lined up in the farmhouse portico and waiting to plot his confusion. Writer was particularly dependent on one of the managers, Chaudhry Sameer (the author has changed his name). Drop by drop, Sameer would dole out bits of information or misinformation about the farm, not only about agricultural techniques but also about personalities and power structures. Writer began to suspect that the managers, including Sameer, were stealing from him, but he had to overcome his fear and uncertainty if he was to retake control. Writer describes the process by which he came to shed his fear and started consciously working to develop his cunning. Describes life on a farm in Pakistan, and the difficulties of managing such an operation, as well as the writer's loneliness. Title refers to some samosas made by Sameer's wife as a present for the writer, perhaps with an ulterior motive.

Despite strong opposition, Lake Erie water drain deal may be voted on by Senate today
The Columbus Dispatch - June 28, 2011 6:06 AM
Overlooking opposition from two former governors, two natural resources directors and the ex-head of the EPA, an Ohio Senate committee today approved a bill giving business greater lattitude to withdraw water from Lake Erie.The bill could be up for a full Senate vote this afternoon.
House Bill 231 was approved 7-2 this morning by the Senate Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources Committee. Acting with uncharacteristic swiftness, the committee batted down one amendment and voted on the bill.
The bill would require permits only for businesses or other entities that tap more than 5 million gallons of water a day from Lake Erie, 2 million from rivers or groundwater, or 300,000 from rivers deemed "high quality." Permits are not now required in Ohio.
In 2005, Ohio, seven other U.S. states and the Canadian provinces of Ontario and Quebec signed the Great Lakes Compact. Each body must individually approve water-use plans by December 2013. Former President George W. Bush signed the compact in 2008, making it federal law.
Former Govs. Bob Taft and George V. Voinovich oppose the bill, saying it would vioilate terms of the Great Lakes Compact and open the state to possible litigation. Environmentalists and many Democrats also oppose the legislation, arguing it threatens the "health and safety" of the Lake Erie watershed and will result in a dangerous drain on the water supply.
The legislation is strongly supported by Republicans and the business community.
