Above Delancey and Allen Streets: a roof garden for the blind and its unfortunate connection to the 1929 stock market crash
Above (and in the photographs below): Young and old alike enjoy the roof garden atop the Bank of the United States building, on the corner of Delancey and Allen
Next to the Tenement Museum in the Lower East Side on Delancey Street stands an elegant grey building incorporating regal Doric columns on its face. Echoing its facade is the restaurant and lounge on its ground floor -- the Grey Lady. It was constructed over one hundred years ago for the Bank of United States, a commercial bank that did not survive the Great Depression.
The bank, a venture by Jewish financier Joseph S. Marcus, had an attention grabbing name, sounding like a branch of the federal government.* But it was the unusual feature on the top of the building that summoned the most attention at first -- a rooftop garden for the blind.
While services for blind people in New York greatly improved with the social changes of the late 19th century, most facilities were in small rooms in overcrowded neighborhoods. With the 20th century came the concept of "open air" schools and libraries for the prevention of diseases.
From the 1919 book called the Education of the Blind: "Whatever may be said of sports and games for the blind, the "open air" principle must be strongly emphasized; if the ever present germs of cold and of the dread tuberculosis are to be conquered, there cannot be too much cheerfully undertaken exercise in the open, where the health-giving sunshine and fresh air can exercise their curative powers the best."
Marcus followed the examples of many Jewish philanthropists is reaching out to the communities of tenements around his bank. His lofty Bank of the United States building opened at the corner of Delancey and Allen Streets in 1914, and, believing that the freshest air in the city could be obtained atop buildings, he topped it with a rooftop garden, devoted only to the needs of the blind.
It initially opened with "flower beds and settees under the awning [several] stories above the street, where it is always cool." The following year, the New York Times reported "[t]he roof is floored with tile and surrounded with a high wall so that the blind may move about in safety."
"This is said to be the only place on the Lower East Side where the blind can be sure of safety from pickpockets." [source]
Blind residents of the Lower East Side were brought to the roof garden with the help of "light bringers," a group of 150 child volunteers from the local public schools.
well known men."
It's the entertainment and leisure activities of Marcus' roof garden that distinguished it from other rooftop gymnasiums which also offered outreach to blind New Yorkers.
An open-air gym at the Lighthouse for the Blind at 111 East 59th Street provided a rooftop running and roller-skating track while such services as cooking classes, swimming pools and a bowling alley were offered in the rooms below.
"Health for the blind through recreation in the open air," was the motto of this institution. [source] Lighthouse International is still at that location today.
I'm not sure when the Delancey Street roof garden closed -- more beneficial services for the blind emerged by the 1920s -- but thankfully it wasn't there on December 10, 1930, when a Bronx branch of the Bank of United States saw the first of many bank runs in the aftermath of the Stock Market Crash of 1929.
The following day, at the Delancey Street bank, "a line of 300 persons extended around the corner into Allen Street," looking to withdrawal their money. Judging from the photograph below (showing the mob at Delancey and Allen Streets on that very day), it appears that more than 300 people showed up! That was the last day of business at the Bank of the United States. [Read its 1930 post-mortem here.]
The building recently made the news -- and made the day of nostalgists -- when the proprietors of the Grey Lady installed the Famous Oyster Bar neon sign above their establishment, another sort of light bringer to this building's unique history.

* By the way, that lofty bank name was controversial back when it was chartered in June 1913. According to the New York Times, "The Bank of United States was chartered yesterday. This does not mean that the new national banking and currency system has gone into effect, and that the great United States is back of this institution, although interests which, it developed yesterday, have been making a hard fight against the use of that name say the ignorant immigrants of the east side are likely to think it does."

Important Notice : Avoiding Fraud
It's rare, but some helpful hints to watch out for with regards to fraud:
- It is important to NEVER wire funds or use/employ other fund transfer mechanisms such as western union: Always use a credit card to protect yourself against fraud. If owners pressure you into providing a deposit or refuse to accept credit cards, there is a high probability that this is a scam.
- If at all suspicious of fraud, ask to see their website, or any other literature they can provide or send to you. Ask them for contact details for guests who have previously stayed on their property insisting on telephone numbers. Be suspicious of emails that originate from free email services (yahoo, hotmail, gmail, etc)
- Research the property thoroughly on the internet to see if there is any history or mention of scams associated with the property.

Check out the full lineup for this year's iHeartRadio Music Festival
Listen to Ariana Grande Radio on iHeartRadio
The curtain is coming down on Nickelodeon's hit show "Sam & Cat." The show, starring Ariana Grande and "iCarly's" Jennette McCurdy, is set to air its final episode later this week.
The network has confirmed the cancellation, releasing a statement after airing promos teasing "only two more episodes." It says it will "not be producing more episodes" but wishes the "very talented cast" all the best.
The move comes after "Sat & Cat" was put on a "permanent hiatus" earlier this year following an extended first season. There were also rumors of on-set tension between stars Ariana and Jennette, which were spurred on after Jennette didn't show up at April's Kids' Choice Awards due to a reported contract dispute.
"Sam & Cat's" series finale will air Thursday at 7:30 p.m. Eastern.

Delay's Blog is the blog of David Anson, a Microsoft developer who works with C#, XAML, HTML, and Azure.
This blog has moved to a new location and comments have been disabled.
All old posts, new posts, and future comments can be found on The blog of dlaa.me.
See you there!
Have you ever used one of those programs that lets you drag a UI widget, drop it in a folder, and - poof - a file that didn't exist magically appears? Me, too - it's cool! But how does it work? Are they really deferring the work of creating that file until it's needed and then creating the file during the drag-and-drop operation? Yes they are - and now you can, too!
If I have seen a little further it is by standing on the shoulders of Giants.- Sir Isaac Newton
Everything you ever needed to know about drag-and-drop in Windows can probably be found in the MSDN documentation for Transferring Shell Objects with Drag-and-Drop and the Clipboard. That documentation is a great resource for specific questions, but because it covers so many topics, it's not necessarily the best way to get an overview. For that, we turn to Raymond Chen's blog - specifically, a series he did called "What a drag" in March of last year. Raymond's example uses native code exclusively, but don't let that scare you away - his presentation and explanations are always engaging! Please take a moment to read (or at least skim) the following articles, or else the rest of this post might not make much sense:
Okay, so we know what we want to do and now we know how it's supposed to work! The first thing to consider is whether the WPF platform supports the virtual file scenario. And unfortunately, it doesn't seem to. :( Specifically, the DataObject class is where we'd expect to find such support, but the closest it has is SetFileDropList. And while that sounds promising, it's really just a list of strings with paths to existing files. Recall that the DragDrop.DoDragDrop method is synchronous (i.e., does not return until the drag-and-drop operation is complete), and the obvious consequence is that creating a virtual file on the fly isn't practical with this API. Specifically, the bits already need to exist on disk by the time the user starts the drag operation - but you don't know what data they're going to drag until they start! It's a classic Catch-22...
The natural next step is to consider whether subclassing DataObject would help - but it's sealed, so that's a pretty quick dead end.
Move on to consider whether the System.Windows.IDataObject interface used by DataObject would be useful. But it seems not; it's pretty much the same API as DataObject which we've already dismissed.
So that leaves us looking at the System.Runtime.InteropServices.ComTypes.IDataObject interface which is a simple managed representation of the actual IDataObject COM interface that the shell uses directly. Clearly, anything is possible at this point, so if we can just channel our inner Raymond, we ought to be in business!
The good news is that I've already done this for you. I've even written a simple WPF application to show how everything fits together:
[Click here to download the complete code for VirtualFileDataObject and the sample application.]
What I've done is write a custom IDataObject class called VirtualFileDataObject that does all the hard work for you. All you need to do is provide the relevant data, and your users will be dragging-and-dropping virtual files in no time. And what's really neat is that writing the code to support drag-and-drop automatically gives complete support for the clipboard because the Clipboard.SetDataObject method uses the same IDataObject interface!
Let's look at the sample scenarios to understand how VirtualFileDataObject is used:
Text only
var virtualFileDataObject = new VirtualFileDataObject();
// Provide simple text (in the form of a NULL-terminated ANSI string)
Encoding.Default.GetBytes("This is some sample text\0"));
DoDragDropOrClipboardSetDataObject(e.ChangedButton, Text, virtualFileDataObject);
This is the simplest possible scenario - just to show off that simple things stay simple with VirtualFileDataObject. Here's the signature for the SetData method used above:
/// <summary>
/// Provides data for the specified data format (HGLOBAL).
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dataFormat">Data format.</param>
/// <param name="data">Sequence of data.</param>
public void SetData(short dataFormat, IEnumerable<byte> data)
Note that it operates in "HGLOBAL mode" where all the data is provided at the time of the call. Note also that it doesn't know anything about what the data is, so it's up to the caller to make sure it's in the right format. Specifically, the right format for DataFormats.Text is a NULL-terminated ANSI string, so that's what the sample passes in.
Aside: The DoDragDropOrClipboardSetDataObject method used above is a simple helper method for the test application - it calls DragDrop.DoDragDrop or Clipboard.SetDataObject depending on what the user did. It's not very exciting, so I won't be showing it (or the VirtualFileDataObject constructor) in the following examples.
Text and URL
// Provide simple text and a URL in priority order
// (both in the form of a NULL-terminated ANSI string)
Another simple example based on Raymond's discussion of drag-and-drop into Internet Explorer. For our purposes, this example demonstrates that you can set multiple data formats and that formats other than those exposed by WPF's DataFormats enumeration are easy to deal with. Per the guidelines, supported formats are provided in order by priority, with higher priority formats coming first.
Virtual file
// Provide a virtual file (generated on demand) containing the letters 'a'-'z'
virtualFileDataObject.SetData(new VirtualFileDataObject.FileDescriptor[]
new VirtualFileDataObject.FileDescriptor
Name = "Alphabet.txt",
Length = 26,
ChangeTimeUtc = DateTime.Now.AddDays(-1),
StreamContents = stream =>
var contents = Enumerable.Range('a', 26).Select(i => (byte)i).ToArray();
stream.Write(contents, 0, contents.Length);
At last, something juicy! This example creates a virtual file named Alphabet.txt that's 26 bytes long and appears to have been written exactly one day ago. The contents of this file aren't generated until they're actually required by the drop target, so there's no wasted effort if the user doesn't start the drag, aborts it, or whatever. When the file's contents are eventually needed, VirtualFileDataObject calls the user-provided Action (not necessarily a lambda expression, though I've used one here for conciseness) and passes it a write-only Stream instance for writing the data. The user code writes to this stream as much or as little as necessary, then returns control to VirtualFileDataObject in order to complete the operation.
The file that gets created when you drop/paste this item into a folder looks just like you'd expect. And because VirtualFileDataObject supports the length and change time fields, Windows has all the information it needs to help the user resolve possible conflicts:
Here's the relevant SetData method (note that you can provide an arbitrary number of FileDescriptor instances, so you can create as many virtual files as you want):
/// <summary>
/// Provides data for the specified data format (FILEGROUPDESCRIPTOR/FILEDESCRIPTOR)
/// </summary>
/// <param name="fileDescriptors">Collection of virtual files.</param>
public void SetData(IEnumerable<FileDescriptor> fileDescriptors)
It makes use of another SetData method that's handy for dealing with "ISTREAM mode":
/// <summary>
/// Provides data for the specified data format and index (ISTREAM).
/// </summary>
/// <param name="dataFormat">Data format.</param>
/// <param name="index">Index of data.</param>
/// <param name="streamData">Action generating the data.</param>
/// <remarks>
/// Uses Stream instead of IEnumerable(T) because Stream is more likely
/// to be natural for the expected scenarios.
/// </remarks>
public void SetData(short dataFormat, int index, Action<Stream> streamData)
And accepts data in the following form:
/// <summary>
/// Class representing a virtual file for use by drag/drop or the clipboard.
/// </summary>
public class FileDescriptor
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the name of the file.
/// </summary>
public string Name { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the (optional) length of the file.
/// </summary>
public UInt64? Length { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets the (optional) change time of the file.
/// </summary>
public DateTime? ChangeTimeUtc { get; set; }
/// <summary>
/// Gets or sets an Action that returns the contents of the file.
/// </summary>
public Action<Stream> StreamContents { get; set; }
Text, URL, and a virtual file!
// Provide a virtual file (downloaded on demand), its URL, and descriptive text
virtualFileDataObject.SetData(new VirtualFileDataObject.FileDescriptor[]
new VirtualFileDataObject.FileDescriptor
Name = "DelaysBlog.xml",
StreamContents = stream =>
using(var webClient = new WebClient())
var data = webClient.DownloadData("http://blogs.msdn.com/delay/rss.xml");
stream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
Encoding.Default.GetBytes("[The RSS feed for Delay's Blog]\0"));
Finally, here's a sample that pulls everything together in a nice, fancy package with a bow on top. The text is an informative snippet, the URL is a link to an RSS feed, and the virtual file is the dynamically downloaded content of that RSS feed! Way cool - it's like there's this big file sitting around that the user can drop anywhere they want - except that it only really exists on the web and it's always up to date whenever you drop it somewhere!
As you can see, the VirtualFileDataObject class makes the whole scenario really easy and approachable - even if you're not an expert on shell interoperability. It's pretty snazzy, I'd say. :)
There's just one small problem...
If you tried the drag-and-drop version of the last sample above on a machine with a slow network connection, you probably noticed that the sample application became unresponsive as soon as you dropped the virtual file and didn't recover until the download completed. This is a natural consequence of the DoDragDrop method being synchronous and getting called from the UI thread (like it should be). In most scenarios, you probably won't notice this problem because generating the file's data is practically instantaneous. But when there's a delay, unresponsiveness is a possibility. The good news is that there's an official technique for solving this problem. The bad news is that it doesn't work for WPF apps. The good news is that I can show you how to make it work anyway.
But that's a topic for another blog post - one that I'll write in a week or so... :)

Home to household names like Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hill, the Monterey Bay area can rightfully claim a place among the world's top golf regions. The 36-hole complex at Bayonet & Black Horse Golf Course hosted the 2012 PGA Professional National Championship and bolsters the coastal locale's reputation for world-class links, boasting both a rich historic legacy—Jack Nicklaus, Johnny Miller, and Tom Watson have all graced the Bayonet course—and a recent redesign from famed course architect Gene Bates, which earned both courses a spot on Golf Digest's Top 10 Course Remodels of 2009.
The older of the two courses, Bayonet Golf Course was originally sculpted through the cypress trees of the since-closed Fort Ord Military Base in 1954 by the Army's Commanding Officer General Robert McClure. Measuring in at 7,104 yards from the tips, the course still captures McClure's original vision, with a classic, tree-lined layout and several dog-leg lefts the General cunningly installed to favor his left-handed fade off the tee. Gene Bates' recent design contributions are apparent in the layout's clusters of creative bunkering, reshaped greens, and areas where trees have been cleared to allow for greater views of the Monterey Peninsula.
Bates also made sweeping alterations to Black Horse Golf Course, changing the layout from its tree-lined, 1964 design into a more open counterpart to Bayonet's cypress-, pine-, and oak-ensconced fairways. In addition, Bates carpeted the entire 7,024-yard course with new, smooth-rolling bent grass, while revamping the irrigation to provide for more meticulous playing conditions. The remodeling efforts afford many sweeping views that populate the course, but especially the one golfers' encounter on the newly-added, 224-yard, par three 15th hole, where an elevated tee looks out onto a horizon dominated by the Pacific Ocean.

The Twisted Roots Wine company began producing its own label of wines and its signature wine, Petite Sirah in 2005. Winemaking joined grape-growing as an integral part of the family business, and in 2010 the family incorporated Twisted Roots as a separate family business. As production continued to increase, varietals expanded to include Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and "1918" Old Vine Zinfandel made from the family's oldest vineyard planted in 1918.
Above all else, Twisted Roots Wine strives to create wines that capture the essence of California's Lodi appellation. The Twisted Roots family embraces sustainable farming practices throughout the entire process and they almost exclusively age their wines in neutral French oak barrels, which allow the grapes' natural fruit flavors and pronounced acidity to shine. This style is evident throughout the winery's lineup of current releases. A bright and crisp chardonnay features just a hint of rounded oak flavor for the sake of balance, and the signature zinfandel?made from the vines originally planted in 1918?coats palates with its bold, yet supple notes of dark fruits and spices.

Police informer in court
WINDHOEK – An alleged informer for the Drug Squad of the Namibia Police appeared in court on charges of dealing in drugs. Hendrick Jacobus Petrus Scholtz pleaded not guilty to a charge of dealing in cocaine, alternatively possession of potentially dangerous dependence-producing drugs on Monday before Magistrate Hileni Kavara.
His lawyer Sarel Maritz confirmed the plea and told the court that his client's defense was that he was acting as an informer and trap for the narcotics branch of the Namibian Police especially for Chief Inspector Hermie van Zyl.
He denied having had intention to commit the alleged offence.
The State alleges that Scholtz dealt in or had in his possession 341.9835 grams of powder/pieces of cocaine and 47.8928 grams of cream powder of cocaine containing more than 0.1% cocaine calculated as cocaine alkaloid being 389.8763 grams of cocaine with a value of N$212 500 on 12 January, 2012 in Cimbebasia. Scholtz was arrested on 12 January, 2012 and made a first appearance on 16 January, 2012 when he was denied bail. He was however granted bail of N$25 000 after the State dropped its objection and remains free on bail. The case was postponed on Monday to 13 May for the Prosecutor General's decision.

Can you freeze a cheesecake with a sour cream topping or should this be added after it's thawed?
The sour cream has a very high water content, and will change texturally done, and more than likely, separate as well. Not pretty or tasty. Yous should put he topping on after the cake has baked and is well-cooled.

Hammerspace is a convenient place for characters to carry around mallets, anvils, fridges, or whatever else they need to advance the plot in a very small space. But what do you use to store a whole person? This trope occurs when whole characters manage to hide themselves away into incredibly small spaces. It could be inside a shoe, or a suitcase, a jewelry box, in a friend's pocket, or behind a telephone pole. Where ever the hideaway is, it must be an area so small that even if the character were to scrunch up and get squeezed into the space, it would still be too small for them, making Hammerspace the only plausible explanation for how they could possibly fit. When characters use Hammerspace to disappear behind narrow poles, they are Behind a Stick. If a character turns out to be living inside a Hammerspace Hideaway, then it is probably a Clown Car Base instead. If we can see inside the Hammerspace Hideaway, then it will likely be Bigger on the Inside. Compare Party in My Pocket. See Behind the Black for similar situations resulting from the Rule of Perception.

Ask The Supplement Guru: Omega 3 Vs. Omega 3-6-9
Vital Stats
Name: Jim Stoppani, PhD
Occupation: Creator of JYM Supplement Science, fitness coach and consultant
Website: www.jimstoppani.com/
QI'm convinced that omega-3 supplements are legit. But, is it best to take omega-3 on its own, or as part of an omega 3-6-9 supplement?
I've been getting this question a lot lately. After all, it seems to make sense that getting a variety of healthful and essential fats in one supplement is better than a supplement that is limited to just one type of fat. Nevertheless, my quick answer is to stick with just an omega-3 supplement. The reason isn't a problem with 3-6-9 supplements themselves, but rather with the way most of us eat.
The Alpha Omega
I'm all about matching up the right supplement precisely to the right athlete and his or her goals. However, if there's one supplement that I recommend for anyone and everyone, it's fish oil, or more specifically, the omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). And I mean everyone: your grandmother, your father, your sister, your nephew, and even your kids.
Omega-3 supplements provide far too many health benefits to ignore. These include reduced risk of heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, as well as enhanced brain and joint function, just to name a few. They also have muscle-building and fat-loss benefits for athletes. And despite what you may have read in the headlines earlier this year, they're safe.
Like omega-3 fats, omega-6 fats are essential in the diet, and they provide numerous health benefits, but there's a major difference: Because omega-6 fats are commonly found in vegetable oils, nuts, and grain-fed meats, they aren't a fat most Americans are deficient in. This is problematic because, despite being essential, these fats can become downright unhealthy when the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 gets higher than 4:1.
Consistently eating a diet that is higher than this ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats may contribute to the development of heart disease, cancer, asthma, arthritis, as well as depression. Plus, it can prevent optimal muscle recovery and growth, as well as inhibiting fat loss. Sadly, most American and European diets put people well over this 4:1 ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats. When the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats is closer to 1:1, the risk of these diseases is significantly decreased, and muscle growth and fat loss are enhanced.
Like the omega-3 and omega-6 fats, the omega-9 fats also provide health benefits, namely anti-inflammatory properties that enhance joint healing and may help prevent numerous diseases. But unlike omega-3 and omega-6, the omega-9 fatty acids are not essential fats. This means that your body can produce them on its own. Plus, the omega-9 fats are also found in olive oil and other vegetable oils. So, if you include olive oil in your diet, which you should, you are likely getting adequate amounts of omega-9 fats.
Supplement What Your Diet Lacks
I understand the reasoning for a 3-6-9 supplement: Since the proper ratio is so important, why not supplement in that ratio? But the truth is that the only thing wrong with most people's omega fats ratio is too little omega-3s. Supplementing with omega-6 fats, even in a 3-6-9, will only further reinforce the bad ratio for them. After all, omega-3-6-9 supplements generally have only 10-20 percent the amount of omega-3 fats as omega-3 fish oil supplements.
My advice is to skip the omega-9 supplements and focus on supplementing with an omega-3, like fish oil. In addition, regularly use olive oil for cooking and in salad dressings. If you do this, you'll get a proper ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats and still take in adequate amounts of omega-9s. Plus you'll get all the benefits that come with these fats.
I recommend taking a minimum of 6 grams of omega-3s in the form of fish oil every day, split between two or three doses of 2-3 g apiece. If you really want to be precise on your dosing, aim to take 1,500 mg of DHA per day. Your fish oil supplement should tell you how much DHA and EPA are in each capsule. Getting in 1,500 mg of DHA will also net you an adequate amount of EPA, which is in higher amounts in fish oil than DHA.
- Follow This Discussion by:
this is exactly why I will always listen to what Jim says he breaks it down and explains why. No one else does this and he also does what he says he's tried it. Thanks Jim I always love your advice and look forward to more informative articles like this one.
I recommend fish oil to everyone. I should print out this article, give it to all of my customers, and force them to read it.
I've always taken Udo's blend which consist of plant based sources. The article focuses on consuming omega 3 from fish oil. Are you saying that you prefer an omega 3 sourced form fish oil?
They are different. You have ALA, which will be coming from the plant based items such as flax and chia. Then you have DHA, which you can get from algae sources or fish sources. Lastly you have EPA, which primarily comes from fish sources (you can find a plant based, but it's rare and not very concentrated).
They all provide benefits in the body (which is why I take fish oil and flax oil multiple times a day).
They are all anti-inflammatory, but the EPA seems to be the most popular in that department. Fish oil EPA is much less expensive than a plant source and will be much more concentrated. As long as you get a quality fish oil supplement that has proper distillation or other purifying methods you won't have to worry about the heavy metals populating in the supplement.
The DHA in fish supplements are also a bit more concentrated and are definitely less expensive than the algae sources.
I would never tell you to stop the Udo's because it's a **** good supplement, but you could always add fish oil in with it.
mjdec - ALA (the plant omega-3) has been shown to have poor conversion to EPA (the end product of all omega-3's) in the body of those with traditional diets; however, in vegetarians the conversion seems to be higher (body's natural adaptation(?)).
Nero is correct, but the conversion is so bad that it's not even worth it. A strict vegan may have like 1-3% conversion if they're lucky. If you want all of the benefits I would do all of the above.
Glad I saw this article because I'm taking fish oil now in my diet!
So if my fish oil says 1000mg and 300mg of EPA and DHA i should be taking 6 fish oils a day spread over the course of the day? Correct?
That is a good question. What I do is when buying supps is, get a product that say 1000-1200 mg at least because whatever the amount of serving suggested, I always take 1-2 caps a day.
There is no absolute amount to take every day. As the article states, a ratio of 4:1 (omega-6 to omega-3) is generally believed to be an ideal ratio. Supplement your diet so as to get you closer to this ratio.
I take anywhere from 2-3 grams of actual DHA/EPA on average in addition to about 2 tablespoons of unfiltered flax oil for the ALA. The amount of actual fish oil in the capsule doesn't mean anything if there's no omega 3s contained inside of it. A 30% concentration is a typical strength capsule. I'd recommend looking for a double strength 50-60% concentration if you don't want to swallow a handful of pills a day (or a liquid and just down a teaspoon or 2).
People who typically stand by a Mediterranean type diet end up closer to the 1:1 ratio that Dr. Stoppani had mentioned above. This ratio lowers many diseases by a ridiculous amount.
I have never had this explained to me so well before! *lightbulb* It all makes sense now.
I take an omega 3 supplement called OmegaXL. By far the best I have come across, and what I love the most is that it isn't derived from fish, so you don't get that fishy burp. It's actually from a green lipped muscle found off the coast of New Zealand. Look it up on YouTube. You won't regret it.
Hey Jim love the articles you write.
A question I have, is it really necessary to take the recommended servings wether it is fish oil, multivitamins ect...
Fish oil should be used to help you diet be closer to the recommended ratio of 4:1. You should take whatever dosage helps you get there while making sure to adhere to any daily maximums suggested.
For multivitamins, a one-a-day tablet is usually all that is necessary since it is supplementing your diet and not making up the bulk of your nutrient sources. That being said, that one tablet may work better by taking half in the morning with food and half in the evening to increase the overall absorption.
This man knows everything. really an inspiration to me because I am majoring in exercise physiology. I want to learn everything. Love your articles man!
My physician told me to keep taking the fish oil as it has really lowered my triglycerides. Many benefits. Thank you for breaking down all these other oils a bit.
Dr. Stoppani, what do you recommend for those that are allergic to seafood?
Excellent article Mr. Stoppani. I feel we also would benefit from an article with your breakdown about daily vitamins with the backlash recently from the media and some doctors
Already covered that here on the site.
Sorry. Just came across it. Great stuff
What about CLA ? That�s a omega 6 molecularly modified. Does it count in the 4:1 ratio ?
I think in Jym�s Shortcut to Shred it is prescribed to have both fish oil and CLA in large amounts...

Opa... ZZZzzzzzs for Zs
Day 7: Lincoln, NE
Loading Map
Following the Quilt Museum, we took the recommendation of my friend Emily who attended graduate school here in Lincoln for the past two years, and went to Stauffer's Caf� and Pies
NOTE: We weren't the only ones who couldn't turn down the pie. Two men in the booth behind us had the following adorable conversation that would probably only ever be heard in a mid-western town like this:
Waitress: "Do you want any pie today?"
Man 1: "Hmm, well… I might be tempted."
Man 2: "Hmm, well, then, I'll have to be sociable, I suppose." They both settled on a piece of pie and seemed to really enjoy themselves.
Some curious sights/musings from the road:
1.) All throughout South Dakota, there are yield signs where we Easterners are used to having 4-way stop signs. Apparently, the Dakotans are polite and civilized enough to take turns carefully without a mandatory, law-enforced sign to ensure fair turn taking.
2.) In Nebraska particularly, we noticed "What to do in case of tornado" signs everywhere. They are in the bathrooms of every restaurant, museum, and hotel. Meanwhile, we're still trying to get a straight answer about what to do if you're in a car because one site told us to stay in the car and another told us to get out an lie in ditch with our hands over our heads. At the hotel, it was reassuring to learn from the guest information book that the personnel at the hotel would activate
the hotel fire alarm if the sirens went off in town, and then would make
every effort to wake us by phone or door-to-door. We were told that first floor guests should go into their bathrooms and be prepared to admit guests from upper floors.
3). The highways in Iowa are noisy. Really, there is a loud whirring noise as you drive over them that eventually fades into the background but when it finally stops, you are stunned that you haven't gone deaf listening to it for the past however long you've been driving.
4.) While driving through Indiana, we saw a little biplane doing some passes above us. As it came in for a landing, directly over the highway, there was a very odd smell from the visible exhaust, kind of like mothballs. I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but it was weird. We can only assume that there was little landing strip right next to the highway behind a clump of trees, otherwise, the smell might have been from the plane smoking and crashing (but we're pretty sure it didn't).
5.) Iowa has made quite an investment in the Rest Stops along I-80. All of them offer free wireless Internet and are fully non-smoking. We were particular grateful for the wireless Internet, when we pulled over on the side of the road at 11pm last night to try and find a hotel room in Lincoln for a few hours later.

P.S. Since you are actually in Nebraska, you just might want to check out "Harold Warp's Pioneer Village Museum in Minden, Nebraska. It is truly a mind blower, a one of its kind collection of just about everything you can imagine that was made and used between 1830 and 1960! I'll never forget my visit some 40 years ago, long before I met Oma.
More hugs,
I noticed that you were just north of St Joseph Mo. My factory was in Hiawatha ks 40 miles from St Jo which by the, is the starting point for the wagon trains starting west. It is also the area where Jesse James the outlaw spent some time.
Your trip is amazing and a fascinating read. Keep up the goodcwork

"If that were an efficient way of delivering torque to the wheels, all cars would have electric transmission systems instead of mechanical ones. They don't, for good reason."
I think the main reason why they don't have electric transmissions systems is because of cost. They are more expensive and complicated to build. All these hybrid cars are all fly by wire like an airplane. It can add another $3000-4000 per car. The electric transmission and electric drive trains are also more expensive. A pure electric car would most likely use motors for each wheel using a fly by wire system to control the speed and movement of each wheel.

I don't get all this electric hybrid stuff. There seems to be an awful lot of misleading and hyped up information out there, including the Volt fuel economy figures. What about the cost of manufacturing and then at some point disposing of the batteries?
For less that $24,000.00 I recently purchased a Jetta diesel that easily gets 45mpg and with a little effort on my part 50+ mpg. Not to be ignored is the fact that this car won some sort of "Green Car of the Year" award recently.
For me, all I need now is some kind of economical and environmentally friendly bio fuel.
The cost of operating an electric automobile has little to do with the miles per KWH or real or phony gasoline mileage. The real cost will be the maintenance cost because the battery pack will need to be replaced after a period of time and that will be expensive to the point that fuel economy will be meaningless. As far as green credentials go, the crux will be in how much recycling can be done with the very toxic battery components.
Alas, I will never find these things out as I am unable to spend $40,000 on any vehicle. My budget allows only for much lower capital costs. This will limit the success of the Volt.
The Geopolitical benefits of reduced oil consumption should not be overlooked. My preferred way of getting this across is to tack on an additional tax on oil based fuels that covers two thirds of the U.S. defense budget. Thats about how much of the budget we wouldn't need if we could tell OPEC to go do something anatomically unpleasant and mean it.
Thank you are an excellent article. What enviromentalists who hate the gasoline propelled car do not like to admit is the power that may be squeezed out of each liter of gas and that the more than century old design of the internal combustion engine has yet to reach its full potential. The same is true of Herr Diesel's design. If th aim is to conserve our limited petroleum resources, then the diesel design should be better utilized.
For any car that does not run solely on diesel or gasoline, the cost per mile, or CO2 per mile, or whatever per mile will always be "it depends." This is true for straight internal combustion engines too, but not to nearly the degree of an electric vehicle or a hybrid vehicle for a whole host of factors.
But look at the Volt in the long-term. Cars at the end of this century, assuming we still have cars, will either be series hybrids (the Volt) where the power generation is hydrogen and a fuel cell or they will be internal combustion engines (most cars today) running on a carbon neutral fuel. If you believe in the fuel cell car and a hydrogen future you need a couple of things. A fuel cell, a hydrogen generation and distribution system, battery or capacitor technology and regenerative brakes. Every fuel cell car will have the same guts as the Volt, except the gas engine will be replaced by a fuel cell. This is because a fuel cell cannot respond to your foot as fast as a gas engine. A fuel cell needs a buffer, in other words a battery or capacitor, between it and the electric drive train. If this is the future then the Volt is simply part of the natural evolution of the car.
If it is not the future, then it will be a dead limb on the evolutionary tree of the automobile. There will be niche markets for pure electric vehicles and probably hybrids too, but currently I would bet on a carbon neutral liquid fuel as the future. Gasoline is not a single molecule. It is a stew of several molecules. They are all strings of carbon atoms connected to hydrogen atoms, hence the term hydrocarbon. Alcohol, as in the alcohol in your beer, wine and spirits, is simply a short hydrocarbon. There are already several strains of organisms that make the gasoline length hydrocarbons the same way yeast make alcohol. It is all a question of feedstock and efficiency. And the technical hurdles just seem a lot less than a hydrogen infrastructure. I see the future of energy as deep geothermal for electricity and GMOs producing carbon neutral gasoline.
Thanks for a well-thought-out article which debunks all the hype about the Volt, which is a public relations product anyway, and will never sell in enough volume to help out the General or the taxpayers who own it. Too bad so many people still believe there is a free lunch out there somewhere, if only big corporations would just let us have it.
I am not clear as to whether or not the proposed GM (Chevy) Volt is a "pure electric vehicle" with an emergency gasoline powered generating system onboard - OR - is it a re-chargeable "hybrid" in that deceleration and braking also charges the battery (or batteries). A major concern on my part is the Lithium Ion battery system and the immediate questions are; 1) what is the toxicity factor and 2) what is the hazardous waste factor? Lastly, if driven at typical freeway speeds in Southern California (65 to 75 mph) how far will the vehicle go on one "full charge" and is that with lights, entertainment and air conditioning and/or heater operating?
No consumers will believe this ridiculous marketing. With these unrealistic exaggerations , GM's credibility suffers even more.
Perhaps a more appropriate name - the 2010 Chevy Fiasco.
It's too expensive - starting at an astonishing loss making $ 40,000.
It's too heavy - a 4 seater that weighs 3600 lbs and more than 500 pounds heavier than the 5 seat Toyota Prius.
Its endurance is meager - GM promises a range of 40 miles between charges but mileage under realistic driving will indubitably differ than the utopian promises.
Its styling is unexciting - a warmed over Dodge Stratus, not that there is anything wrong with that, but it doesn't send anybody's heart racing.
It's too late - GM has needed a real revolution for a long time now and after years of hype this is all they bring us?
I really want Detroit to turn around and succeed, but so far I see nothing to look forward too. I hope my pessimism is proven wrong.
GM could start by giving us realistic and honest statements. Nonsense about 230 mpg doesn't help the credibility. $ / mile would be an easy conversion between different power sources, even if fuel and power prices vary.
The measure of C02 emissions per mile is problematic because it is so dependent on the source of the electricity used to charge the plug in hybrid.
At the low end (as PSH discussed), you have an old coal fired power station with maybe 30% fuel to electricity conversion efficiency burning a v carbon rich fuel.
Then you have modern combined cycle plants fuelled by natural gas with efficiencies of >50% and a relatively low carbon fuel.
Then beyond that you have Bomasss, Nuclear, Wind, Wave, Geothermal, Solar et al.
Each one of those will have its own C02 per mile profile.
Given that consumers have limited choice in where their electricity comes from and limited ability to digest pages of emissions data, I am concerned that we currently have no good way to inform people of the consequences of their choices.
Probably the simplest solution is cost per mile and have a proper tax structure in place to reflect the true costs of emissions. However as we've seen from recent congressional stupidity, getting sensible emissions legislation is some ways off.
tharanga's earlier recommendation to focus on the CO2 emissions per mile and the cost per mile is right on target and captures the essence of two out three of the core concerns. But perhaps we should also factor in the minimization of our use of and dependency upon oil. In other words, even if the CO2 and cost factors were roughly equal for electricity and gasoline, wouldn't the scales tip significantly in favor of electricity? Also, in calculating the CO2 emissions per mile, it would seem advisable to amortize the emissions produced by the manufacturing process of the vehicle itself.
Show me those hydrogen-powered Hummers GM was talking about a few years ago and I'll believe they have a car that gets 230 mpg.
...at last, some good old-fashioned commonsense... well, sort of...
To add to what PSH said:
If the power is coming from the electrical grid you will generally have to pay less to move your vehicle (outside the initial cost of batteries and so forth). Electricity off the grid while not necessarily much more efficient than an internal combustion engine, is still cheaper. This is because power plants are allowed economies of scale far greater than automobiles. It is cheaper to ship and generate power in a plant then it is in a car.
The true comparison is feedstock energy input to distance traveled. This is the burden the environment must carry.
For the all electric example, of the energy fed into a thermal power plant, perhaps 30% is converted to electrical energy. Of that, roughly another 10% is lost to the grid and charging system, leaving perhaps 25% of the feedstock energy available to the drive train, which is around 80% efficient, leaving around 20% used for propulsion.
The self contained vehicle is similar. Of the oil energy put into the refinery, perhaps 80% comes out in some combustible form. A high efficiency internal combustion engine might convert 25% to the drive train which is maybe 90% efficient. Final conversion efficiency is 16-18%.
At this point, you have a fair comparison between the environmental burden of energy conversion systems. Different vehicles will not get the same distance for each unit of energy. That would be a basis for computing the operating cost, and satisfying Congress on its fleet efficiency targets.
17 vs 20% is significant, but not the extraordinary comparison claims being bandied about.
Of more importance, is how much burden the generation places on the environment. Right now, many would argue that it's a wash. The self contained vehicle may be less efficient, but overall it is cleaner than an old coal fired power plant. A hydro or nuclear plant/plug in car wins this comparison in a walk (although it neatly ignores the watershed damage, long term waste problems and associated costs). The average electricity generation mix is well known, making a comparison fairly easy.
If the EPA takes its name seriously, it should focus less on the vehicle itself, and more on breaking out the overall environmental cost. There's no reason they can't do both, and both are important to the consumer.
This article seems to be stating the obvious. No car, petrol, hybrid, or electric, gets the same mileage as the EPA estimates. Any car gets worse mileage on hills, at different altitudes, with incorrect tire pressure, etc etc. You can't blame GM for putting what could be the best mileage achieved on their sticker.
According to AT&T they have the best cell phone coverage in the United States, but I'm sure we could all discredit that statement too.
Why is everybody trying so hard to fit square pegs into round holes? Just dump the metric of mpg altogether, and publish two other metrics instead: cost per mile, and CO2 emissions per mile. True, many of the problems mentioned above remain, but at least the terminology reflects what we're actually concerned about.

Tablets and CRM, Part 2: Revolution in the Making
November 19, 2013
GE Capital has an iPad app, based on Salesforce.com, that integrates geospatial data to let mobile sales reps know which customers need attention and where they are. It is a simple, yet impressive example of a company using tablets and CRM functionality to improve its internal productivity. While appreciating its capabilities, many companies would not put the necessary energy into developing it.
New iPad Mini Tiptoes Into the Market
November 12, 2013
Apple snuck out the iPad mini with Retina display in a low-key launch on Tuesday, making it available for purchase online, through personal pickup of Web orders at its retail stores, or from various carriers. The device is also available at selected authorized resellers. However, the iPad mini with Retina display apparently is not available for direct purchase at Apple stores.
Tablets and CRM, Part 1: A Plus for Productivity
November 12, 2013
The CRM case for tablets is quite clear: Workers are more mobile than ever and need to be able to access their systems on the go. Ditto customers and the workers who service them while on the go. Tablets are more robust tools than smartphones and allow for even greater functionality. Somehow overlooked in this business case, though, is the productivity factor.
Amazon Offers Indie Booksellers a Piece of Kindle Pie
November 06, 2013
Amazon on Wednesday announced a new program that will enable independent bookshops and other small retailers to earn extra money by selling Kindle devices and accessories. Dubbed "Amazon Source," the program gives retailers a discount on Kindles and accessories for resale as well as 10 percent of the revenue from every Kindle book purchased on the device for the first two years.
Apple Takes a Bruising in Tablet Market
November 01, 2013
Android tablets outsold iPads in the calendar quarter ending in September, according to IDC. Apple's share of the worldwide tablet market also declined compared with the same period in 2012, the firm said. Although Apple sold slightly more units into its retail channel during this year's third quarter compared with last year's, its market share slipped to 29.6 percent from 40.2 percent a year ago.
Apple's New iWork: 3 Steps Forward, 1 Step Back
October 31, 2013
Real updates to Apple's iWork suite of apps -- Pages, Numbers and Keynote -- have been a long time coming, so when Apple updated the suite with a free upgrade that plays well with iOS 7 and with Web browsers, plenty of users jumped into the new version without looking. Unfortunately, a good many found they had leapt into a shallow pool full of sharp rocks.
New Disney Kids' Show to Get 1st Run on Tablets
October 30, 2013
Disney is giving one of its new children's shows a home on mobile devices before it broadcasts the program via its TV networks. Sheriff Callie's Wild West, the first Western for 2-to-7-year-olds, according to the company, will make its debut on Disney's Watch Disney Junior App on Nov. 24.

Ashton Kutcher Joins Lenovo, Keeps Day Job
October 30, 2013
Lenovo's newest product engineer got a higher-profile introduction to the world than many of the company's other employees. That's because he's also famed actor and investor Ashton Kutcher. Lenovo announced its multiyear partnership with the Two and a Half Men star at the launch event for the company's latest tablet. Kutcher will work with engineers on the Yoga Tablet product line, Lenovo said.
The IF Convertible: 3 Devices, 1 Data Plan
October 29, 2013
Back in 2011, in the dark, pre-tablet days of the netbook, Motorola introduced a phone and laptop combo called the "Atrix." The then-powerful 4G, dual-core AT&T phone slotted into a unique receptacle on the back of the optional laptop's clamshell hinge -- a bit like a game cartridge slides into a console. The phone then powered the Chromebook-like, highly stripped-down laptop.
What's Missing in the iPad Air
October 28, 2013
Apple fans seem to thing anything Apple brings out is perfect and to suggest otherwise is heretical. Given that I think fanboys give up their intellectual freedom to the vendor or product they religiously follow, I tend to wear the Apple Heretic badge with honor -- and thus I'm going to point out the technologies the Microsoft Surface 2 and Nokia 2520 products have that the new iPad Air lacks.
Powerful Nokia Tablet Focuses on Photo Skills
October 23, 2013
Nokia has announced its first Windows tablet, the Lumia 2520, along with two phablets with 6-inch screens. The 2520 is "designed for people who like to take photos on their smartphones and edit them on tablets," noted tech analyst Rob Enderle. The phablets "can be used as pretty decent readers, so they're a good alternative to having to carry both a phone and a tablet."
Apple Plays the Free Card
October 23, 2013
Apple threw down the gauntlet to the PC industry and aimed some veiled barbs at rival Microsoft at a Tuesday launch event to refresh its software and hardware lines. Apple announced new editions of its iWork and iLife suites, which will come free with any new iPad, iPhone or Mac. Further, all of its customers can upgrade to OS X Mavericks, the latest version of OS X, for free.
You've Got to Touch Apple's Airy New iPad to Believe It
October 22, 2013
In a flurry of presentations at its special media event on Tuesday, Apple introduced new iPads, MacBook Pros, the Mac Pro, OS X Mavericks -- available immediately, and free -- as well new generations of iWork and iLife app suites. The biggest buzz comes from Apple's brand new iPad, the iPad Air, which is 20 percent thinner and 28 percent lighter than the fourth-generation iPad that it replaces.
Will Apple Throw the Enterprise a Bone?
October 21, 2013
Apple will likely debut a new iPad and possibly a new iPad mini at its Tuesday event in San Francisco. There is speculation about a new CPU, a keyboard case, better cameras, a splash of color, and the likelihood the new iPad will come preloaded with the buggy iOS 7. If the enterprise is looking for a little more business-friendliness from Apple, it may not find much gratification this time around.
Dell Hedges Its Bets in Latest PC Lineup
October 19, 2013
It doesn't take a genius to perceive the difficulties mainline PC vendors have faced over the past three to four years. As user preferences have shifted toward ultramobile products such as smartphones and tablets, PC makers and core allies have suffered enough stumbles, false starts and pratfalls in their attempts to keep up to populate a Hangover movie.
Windows 8.1 Could Get Some Love
October 17, 2013
Microsoft on Thursday began rolling out Windows 8.1 worldwide. This latest update to its flagship OS has improved multitasking, improved search, a redesigned Windows Store, and new and updated apps. The Start button, which users have been clamoring for since Windows 8 was released, has been restored.
How to Get Rid of Bloatware on Your Phone or PC
October 16, 2013
You know all those free programs that typically come on PCs and mobile devices whether you want them or not? Common examples include paid antivirus programs within the PC environment and phone company add-ons like music stores within Android. Often called "bloatware," they are usually manufacturer- or carrier-sanctioned stripped down come-ons designed to get you to buy a subscription or upgrade.
Apple's Oct. 22 Invites Kick Rumor Mill Into High Gear
October 16, 2013
Apple on Tuesday sent out invitations to an undisclosed event to be held Oct. 22 in San Francisco, fueling fresh speculation about the company's planned product launches. It's widely expected that Apple will unveil new versions of the iPad and iPad mini. "The most solid rumors are that we'll see a 9.7-inch fifth-generation iPad," suggested Jeff Orr, a senior practice director at ABI Research.
Lenovo's Android Laptop Will Bend Over Backwards
October 11, 2013
Manuals from Lenovo that were leaked onto the Internet indicate that the company is working on a laptop running Android. Not only were two manuals for the IdeaPad A10 discovered this week on the Web -- one dated July and the other dated August -- but Lenovo has reportedly since confirmed the upcoming product. Android will come preinstalled on the device.
Disney Tech Makes Touchscreens Touchy-Feely
October 10, 2013
Disney Research has developed an algorithm that will render 3D textures and tactile features on a touchscreen, it announced earlier this week, enabling users to "feel" the on-screen images they touch and see. The technology works on still images as well as streaming videos, and it achieves its effect by altering the friction the user's fingers encounter as they glide across the screen's surface.
No Break for Samsung on US Import Ban
October 08, 2013
The Obama administration has upheld a ban won by Apple earlier this year that requires Samsung Electronics to stop importing certain smartphones and tablets into the U.S. U.S. Trade Representative Michael Froman made the announcement on Tuesday morning. Two older versions of the Galaxy smartphone and Galaxy tablet were the products affected.
Dell Whisks the Wraps Off New Tablets, Laptops
October 03, 2013
Dell on Wednesday released new tablets and updates to its XPS line of laptops for geeks, less than three weeks after founder Michael Dell won a long and bitter battle to take the company private again. The company launched two Windows 8.1 tablets and two Android tablets under the revived "Venue" name. It also unveiled the XPS 11, XPS 13 and XPS 15 laptops.
Apple's Sneak Attack on Gaming Is Now in Play
October 03, 2013
Apple let a silly game demonstration take center stage at WWDC in June, and it released a new framework with instructions on how developers could build physical game controllers. The two together led me to believe that an Apple sneak attack on living room gaming was imminent. Since then, two more elements have risen to the surface, and now I think the sneak attack is well under way.
BlackBerry and Surface 2: The Fight to Reclaim Past Glory
September 30, 2013
Both BlackBerry and Microsoft have been in far stronger positions with regard to personal technology. At one time, Microsoft was contending for leadership in smartphones against Palm and BlackBerry, and BlackBerry took leadership only to lose it to Apple and then Samsung. Microsoft put tablets on the map in the early part of last decade, but it missed a memo and Apple refined them to success.

Ingredient of the week: Washington Strawberrieson June 25, 2014 @ 9:00 am (Updated: 9:33 am - 6/25/14 )
"Many people eat strawberries with a crunchy texture, I don't like crunchy strawberries," Thierry says. "I like them with a little mush, when they have that beautiful ripeness."
He suggests cooking strawberries in your breakfast crepes, "It's very simple."
He usually adds a little bit of flower, eggs, sugar, and a tad of milk into a bowl. Thierry recommends warming the pan first and running a small amount of butter around the edges. "Then I put my batter right on top of that, let it sit for a few minutes and once its cooked, I flip it," he says.
Once the crepes are cooked, chef Tom Douglas recommends sprinkling powdered sugar and tossing a bunch of chopped strawberries in the crepes.
"Now put some thin chopped mint and vanilla whip cream on top, roll the whole thing together and go at it," says Tom.
Thierry says that, to him, is the sign of summer.
When strawberries are fresh, Tom believes there is nothing better than a strawberry cream pie. "This would be a fun time to either add a nut or black pepper to your crust, so you have some kind of counterpoint to the sweet strawberry taste."
Thierry, Tom, and Katie-O discuss some of their favorite ways to eat fresh Washington strawberries in the most berrylicious ways possible on this week's Seattle Kitchen.
Whole Foods Markets are a proud sponsor of Seattle Kitchen's Ingredient of the Week.
