Volvo XC90 Entertainment System Questions
Hello, I just bought 2006 XC90 from the dealer stock, but it came without DVD player. I always had entertainment system in my previous cars and it was first what my kids asked me about when I got our XC90. Any suggestions? Overhead flip screen would be OK?
I checked Circuit City, they have nice Sony and Pioneer overhead consoles, but I am not sure if I can install them in XC 90. Thank you!

davebobave Posts: 2My wife has a 2006 xc90 and we want to put sirius in it. I have the after market kit in my vehicle and she does NOT want that ugly cradle on her dash and there ia no other place to really put it where it's not in the way but still accessible. Does anyone know if they can take a 2007 radio unit and have it installed in a 2006 and have everything still work? Don't care about cost. Her car is the new road trip vehicle, and I MUST have my Sirius. We tried one of the portable units, but if it is not hard-wired into the radio there is too much interference with local stations everywhere on the FM band.

eldzacco Posts: 1Hello,
I'm French and I leave in the US since August 07. Iwould like to unzone/dezone the DVD player in my Volvo XC90 from 2007 (Rear Seat Entertainment) in order to play my french DVDs and, potentially, to bring back this car when I move back to France.
I'm looking for answers to your question, but I don't find them. Did you fix it ?
Thank for your answer and help.
Best regards,

rogovin Posts: 2I've just purchased the headrest DVD system and am getting ready to install them but I'm unclear as to how to get power to them. I was told that there is a plug under the driver seat but I've been unable to locate it. Does anyone have experience installing these units? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. -
rogovin Posts: 2I had a local car audio company install it. Prior to installation I explained to them what had been communicated to me, that the power source was under the driver seat. When I picked up the car a few hours later, they told me that it wasn't an easy install at all and that the power source was NOT under the driver seat. Not sure where they are pulling the power from. All I know, is that the unit is not a quiet one. As the actual DVD is inserted into each headrest, as you drive down the road, you can hear it spinning. Really annoying but the convenience outweighs the annoyance. I paid $120 for the install. Hope this helps.
needxc90help Posts: 2I have a 2006 XC90, that we bought used. It has a DVD system but the remote and headphones did not come with the car. Volvo wants $114 for the remote and $147 a piece for the headphones. Is there an after market option for the remote or anyplace where I can get the volvo remote cheaper?
qbrozen Posts: 17,839hmmm... well, all I can suggest is to try searching around the internet. Watch ebay, things like that.
Just a quick search and I spotted these headphones on amazon, which claim to be compatible.'14 CTS Vsport; '15 Fit LX 6-spd; '98 Volvo S70 base; '14 Town&Country Limited
tmanning2 Posts: 1I just got a 2009 XC90 loaded up and we have a 2 year old that doesn't like to wear headphones. Has anyone figured out a good way to get sound from the system to the back seats without going thru the car audio system or headsets? I was a dreadful day when we listened to Noggin shows for 5 hours on a weekend trip.
I was thinking about small speakers wired into the RCA jacks or a small radio set to the FM transmission frequency placed under the kids car seat.
Any recommendations or experience with this situation? -
vickyb4 Posts: 1Hi, I have a 55 XC90, bought the headrest entertainment system (player goes in boot) but it does not seem to be working properly- keep getting no signal - have a 2nd AV connection that plays the playstation through it fine! I bought it from a Volvo garage (not a main dealer) who are being less than helpful. No installation guide came with it, I have had a very experienced Auto electrician look and attempt installation but still not working! Does anybody know where I can get an installation guide from so that we can double check that before 'presuming' the system is faulty!! The screens came already fitted inreplacement headrest - VOLVO 10disc DVD player in boot. Remote control has also been tested.
Somebody please help!! -
volvomax Posts: 5,274Don't know what system you have, but the factory authorized dealer installed system has the dvd players in each of the headrests.
Obviously, you have some aftermarket system which is being touted as Volvo compatible. Volvo's have weird electrical systems and a lot of aftermarket stuff doesn't work well with it.
If your garage can't make this work, I'd have them pull it out,refund your money and then go to a dealer. -
cpardo Posts: 1Hi, unfortunately I don't have a recommendation to your issue but I'm hoping you or anyone else can tell me how to get the audio from the rear entertainment system to come through the car audio system, we can't seem to be able to figure it out and we have two infants that are not old enough to use headphones.
Thanks to anyone that can provide help.
Regards. -
jk764 Posts: 17I have a similar problem. Though I think Caillou is a lot more whiny and annoying to listen to!
My 3-yr old is now not adverse to wearing headphones, but surprise -- the headphones from VOLVO are WAY too big!
Who the heck designed this system anyway? Duh - your demographic is kids. Make the headphones fit smaller sized heads.
So now my problem is how to get my kid's "monkey"-wired headphones to attach to VOLVO's fantastic DVD system. Any ideas?
I like your idea of including a small radio in the back seat tuned to the program. Then I could plug the headphones into that! -
rcrx Posts: 1I have the MB8000 in headrest system. The screens would light up and display the 8000 in the upper section of each screen. I moved the "cable that runs from the center console to the DVD box" and it blew the fuse in the right rear luggage compartment. I found the "cable that runs from the center console to the DVD box" to be nearly severed. (Not sure how it worked at all) I replaced the "cable" with a $105.00 factory replacement from the local dealer and not able to even get the screens to light up now. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

cdgodfrey Posts: 1I have a 2008 Volvo XC90 with the DVD Entertainment in each headrest (from the factory). It's frustrating to me because my 20 month olds don't want to wear headphones, nor do I really want them to. The only way I've been able to find to play through the car stereo is through the FM modulator, which sounds like crap. I called the Volvo dealership where I bought the car and they seem to know nothing about the entertainment system. Is there a way to play the DVD's directly through the car stereo (using the AUX jack or another method) without using the FM modulator? This is my biggest complaint about the car...
bird17 Posts: 2in my 2009 you need to turn the source to Aux on the stereo and then hold the source button on the screen you want to hear the sound from.....
I'm doing this from memory (we tried it once months ago - but our 3yo wears the headphones and 12mo is still rear facing).
If that doesn't work let me know and I'll try doing it for real (but it's cold and snowy outside right now). -
sbenz Posts: 1The entertainment system for my 2003 XC90 also has gone wacky. Usually it won't turn on. Then at some random moment, it turns on by itself. Then when I turn off the car, it won't turn off, at least right away. I have had to partially start the ignition to get it off.
Sometimes it works, sometimes not. Sometimes it turns on by itself. Sometimes it won't turn off. Sometimes when it is on, the display is incorrect and the volume won't work and I can't change stations or sources.
I fear a $1000 replacement...as other owners have posted.
Please help!

What To Do In The Big Apple – NYC!
Times Square Named New York's Top Tourist Attraction
Our friends over at Kaplan International English surveyed more than 350 English language students aged between 18 and 59 from 39 countries to discover what they loved about New York. The results are in and, from the point of view of this New Yorker, are spot on!
According to a global survey of international students, New York's neon heart, Times Square, is the city's most popular tourist attraction. In fact, visiting Times Square was the preferred tourist activity for more than one-third (35%) of international students with "The Crossroads of the World" proving more popular than many other famous New York destinations.
When asked, "What's your favourite tourist attraction," Times Square topped the category beating the likes of Central Park (24%), Brooklyn Bridge (14%), the Empire State Building (9%) and the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island (3%).
Kaplan International published the results of their "What to do in New York" survey as a motion graphic. This amazing video graphic takes you on a fabulous journey around some of the most popular places in New York City. Check it out, and then come to NYC. We're waiting for you!

The reporter tells us he isn't sure of the exact direction of the story but he is interested in learning more about the kinds of support the government and VA gives caregivers. We went to a non-working dinner with him Friday night and spent Saturday on our back deck detailing the time line of the injuries, our families' friendships and the devastation of Cleve's death.
It was emotional.
When I tell the story from start to finish the memories and loss come flooding back. The fights, the grief, the moments of hope, the disappointments of Bryan's medical care not being covered—it's all there. I have never had a reporter sit and listen for hours to our story. I have never had someone interested enough to want to tell our story and change the way wounded warriors are treated so other families don't have to suffer.
I hope his story does some good. When my husband was lying in the hospital bed at Walter Reed I asked point blank if his medical needs would be taken care of. Doctors promised they would.
They haven't.
We are now appealing our case to Medicare because the wording on the bill was incorrect. Tricare won't pay either for the same reason. Now, we have $35,000 in unpaid medical bills arriving at our house on a daily basis.
This has to change and stop for others.
During our talk with the reporter, listening to Karie relive the same emotions I felt was painful. I felt like my chest was closing up and I couldn't breathe. My heart was pounding . She is doing so well but she will never get over what happened to her husband.
The reporter eventually asked the question that they all ask: "What do you see for your future?"
This question always stops me in my tracks. We have been simply surviving for so long that the future is measured in seconds, minutes, hours, or days. I have ideas of what I want to do in the future but it's hard to see the forest for the trees.
My sole focus right now is to get Tricare to pay his medical bills. Then I can breathe. Eventually, I want to earn my master's degree. Bryan has also expressed interest in attending school but who really knows? Things, for the most part, have been stable for over a year. But there always seems to be something that pops up and zaps every ounce of our stability and peace.
I am looking forward to reading this reporter's article. I hope it opens it helps to show the VA and the DoD what is really going on with our wounded warriors.
We need more support—period.

LONDON: There will still be opportunities for highly skilled students from non-EU countries such as India after their studies in UK, even as new visa rules come in effect from April 6, a top education official has said.
"Students can currently work in the UK for 2 years after their studies have finished under the Tier 1 (Post-study work) route. But from April 6, a more selective system will come into effect, so only the most talented international graduates can apply to stay in the UK for work purposes, Prof Eric Thomas, President of the Universities UK has said.
"Only those who graduate from a university, and have an offer of a skilled job at a salary of at least 20,000 pounds (or more in some cases) from a reputable employer accredited by the UK Border Agency, will be able to continue living and working in the UK. There will still be an opportunity to work," he said.

Join us Monday 9/26 at 5p when we welcome Charles Staley, a fitness and training industy icon, to Teamworks/CATZ Acton for a rare hands-on workshop.
The workshop will focus on two specific areas:
1) Olympic Lifting Competency in a Day – Learning, adjusting and using olympic lifts safely in your training/fitness program. The olympic lifts make training fun, and can produce results in athletics, body composition and power when used safely and appropriately. Charles has an incredible knack of breaking the lifts/movements down to their simplest parts, and identifying areas for improvement. Whether you are an elite athlete or a 50 year old stay home mom, you will benefit from this information.
2) More Work – Less TIME - Charles is the inventor of EDT (Escalating Density Training), a brilliant workout method used to build muscle, reduce injury and burn fat. The buzz word in fitness today is "metabolic" training, and whether it's P90X, Bootcamp, CrossFit, or GroupX – it can be brutally effective when done safely. However, many systems, coaches and individual exercisers have difficulty programming this style of training. Learn how to get more out of 30 minutes than 3 of your current days of training, and why this approach is so brilliant. Charles and I will share, and expand upon, 1 key phrase that we hope will change your thinking, and your training philosophy, forever!
The Details:
- WHERE: Teamworks Fitness/CATZ – 30 Great Road, Acton, MA 01720 – 978-402-8340

Hi, How do the Cityline hydrangeas do in zone 5? I'm particularly interested in "Rio" (but would be happy with any of the others if they would fare better). |
Follow-Up Postings:
Cityline hydrangeas will need the same careful winter protection as any other hydrangea macrophylla in your zone, as well as a mulch to protect roots. I suspect it would be iffy in Z5. An alternative might be to grow it in a large container you could move to an unheated garage in winter, where you would still protect it (wrap) during the coldest of weather. |

Open Stack Adoption Fun Facts & Surprises
Information is coming in fast and furiously (I adverbialized for all the English majors!) from the Open Stack summit that recently took place in Hong Kong. Among other tidbits came the results of a user study that offered some surprising news; namely that adoption and deployment of Open Stack is being driven by smaller companies right now rather than global behemoths as one may have surmised. While 21% of OpenStack installations are in companies with more than 10,000 employees, fully 42% of installations are in companies with fewer than 100 employees.
The Top 5 Business Drivers for deployment are: 5) ability to innovate & compete, 4) flexibility of underlying tech choices, 3) open platform, 2) operational efficiency and …#1) cost savings. Puppet Labs is the #1 deployment tool, while Ubuntu is the #1 host operating system at 55% and KVM is by far the dominant hypervisor with 63% of installations. The Top 10 Applications/ Workloads are, from 1 to 10, web services, QA test environment, databases, research, continuous integration/automated testing, storage & back up, virtual desktops, data mining/big data/hadoop, management & monitoring systems and HPC.

Thank you for the post. I will certainly return.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

BDP Architects to Host Charrette to discuss the Urban Implications of Preston Bus Station
June 20th, 2013
In December 2012 Preston City Council voted 'in principle' to demolish Preston Bus Station and replace it with a surface car park. This building is a major cultural landmark and it should be preserved and creatively adapted to serve the city. It could act as a key building and public space to make Preston accessible and temper the decay that is affecting the city.
BDP Architects will host a charrette on Friday 28th June 2013, at their North West office to discuss ideas for the future of this building and the urban area surrounding it.
The charrette or workshop will be held in BDP's Manchester offices in Piccadilly Basin. Key members of their architectural and urban design team will contribute to the discussion. They feel that this is a very important project, both locally and nationally. The state of panic that now exists in Preston is symptomatic of the reaction not only to the recession, which has hit the North particularly hard, but also to the change in shopping habits that the digital revolution has caused. How the post-industrial city will have to adapt to an uncertain future is one of the most pressing issues for architects and designers at this point in the twenty-first century.
Preston Bus Station was constructed in 1969, and was designed by BDP. It was built at a time of great confidence; it was, after all, the same year as the first Moon landing. The building resembled an airport lounge, testament to the importance that was placed upon it by the people of Preston. Modernist buildings can possess great quality and worth, and can contribute to the collective memory of a place. If we are not careful, we will regret the loss of many of them, just as we regret the loss of many older structures that were torn down in the name of progress. Certainly the Bus Station is very much a symbol of Preston, if it is lost the city will lose a famous landmark and part of its optimistic heritage.
This charrette is open to all, architects, designers, and students as well as anyone else who is interested in the future of the building.
Contact Sally Stone for more details or to discuss this further: firstname.lastname@example.com.
Gate 81 is a project that intends to bring to greater attention the plight of Preston's Bus Station. There has been a considerable amount of negativity surrounding the future of the building, and this is our attempt to bring some optimism to the situation. To this end, we are staging a series of events to both raise the profile of the building, and to generate ideas for the future of this troubled building and the urban area that surrounds it. The first, which was held on May 11th, was an open workshop, collection of lectures and other happenings that was held on the concourse of the Bus Station. Gate 81 is supported by: The Arts Council, Manchester School of Architecture, They Eat Culture.

The Hand of the Architect Sketching
May 2nd, 2012
Continuity in Architecture have been a-twitter with excitement at the prospect of a lecture by the highly acclaimed architect Peter Wilson. The sense of expectation was heightened by the memories of past and highly influential talks which probably date back to the 1980s. Concepts of interpretation, context, place, narrative and storytelling are always a marvellous encouragement.
Peter Wilson did indeed deliver an inspirational lecture at CUBE. Using the illustrations from his new book about drawing as the basis for the talk, he skipped through a chronological dissection of the work of Bolles + Wilson. He is a man obsessed with hand drawing, and to prove this he showed the preliminary drawings for each project before describing how these sketches influenced the final building. "If the initial sketch is not correct", he explained, "then the finished building will not be right." Wilson considers architecture to be "something that accompanies daily life" and his talk and the sketchbooks gloriously showed that.
Outstanding Academic Achievement
July 5th, 2011
Continuity in Architecture is very pleased that one of their final year students has been awarded the University of Manchester award for Outstanding Academic Achievement. This prize recognises the truly exceptional performance of a graduate student.
Tom Cookson, who has just completed his sixth year, designed a collection of small structures within an intimate area of the city of Dubrovnik. This exactingly designed Repository for Unwanted Memorabilia attaches itself closely to the grain of the city. It integrates a series of interconnected spaces with the three-dimensional character of the dense urban environment. The project was beautifully communicated; Tom used both computer and hand drawings to describe his vision.
Tom, who has recently been asked to interview by a number of architectural practices including the with the 2011 RIBA Royal Gold Medal winner, David Chipperfield, also won the Manchester School of Architecture Student of the Year award.
St Wilfrid remains in Hulme
November 8th, 2010
A flying visit to St Wilfrid's RC Church in Hulme, Manchester designed by A.W.N. Pugin.
Pevsner writes: By Pugin, 1842, and memorable as a very early case of the archeologically convincing church … The exterior of the church is red brick, with lancet windows. It all had to be done cheaply - Pugin's bane. But he allowed himself the touch of archeological fun of laying his bricks English bond, not Flemish like the hated Georgians.
The church was subsumed in the redevelopment of the 1970s and lost its relationship with low-rise terraced streets. The New Hulme has reinstated something of the original scale of the surrounding buildings.
The building was deconsecrated in the early 'nineties and converted for use as workshop and business start-up units. The nave has been filled with a utilitarian free-standing structure - in theory the insertion can be removed and the single axial space would be revealed. The chancel and high-altar house a cafe.
Millions have been spent on the adjacent award-winning park and bridges but the exterior of this pre-existing monument continues to deteriorate and repair is probably beyond the resources of the present occupiers.
English Heritage inspectors continue to visit the Grade ll-listed building and are, in general, pleased that the building is heated and used.
Degree Show 2010
June 17th, 2010
The Degree Shows at Manchester Metropolitan University open on Friday 18th June at 5pm.
CiA Studio's Bachelor of Architecture Projects can be found in Rooms 502 and 503 on the fifth floor of the Chatham Building, Cavendish Street, M15 6BR.
We're very pleased with the quality and variety of work this year and we hope visitors will be delighted by the physical models, pencil drawings, sketchbooks and good old-fashioned CGI on view. Teaching staff, including Studio Director Sally Stone, will be at the Show tomorrow evening from 6pm if you would like to talk about the work or perhaps discuss joining the Studio in the next academic year.

April 12th, 2010
As part of the Manchester Art and Design Festival (MADF), Future Everything (FE) and the Manchester School of Architecture Events Programme (…?), Continuity in Architecture will be holding an investigative workshop:
Experiments with Urban Narratives
Workshop participants will explore a narrative approach to understanding cities, taking Manchester as their object. They will explore how the past and the present combine and/or clash in the streets, paths, blocks and spaces of the urban environment. They will bring creativity and strongly reflexive approaches to questions of for who, and by whom, cities are designed. Participants will predominantly use film-making as their medium, but may also use montage, modelling, drawing and redrawing as methods of interpreting and designing cities – with attention to urban form, contextual relationships, social relationships, sensory experience, activities and movement.
Collaborators include:
Simon Green, President, Manchester Society of Architecture, Hurd Rolland Partnership
Dr Stephanie Koerner, School of Art, History and Archaeology, University of Manchester
Dr Raymond Lucas, Manchester School of Architecture
Dr Amanda Ravetz, Miriad, Manchester Metropolitan University
Sally Stone, Director Continuity in Architecture, Manchester School of Architecture
Dr Bronislaw Szersznski, Centre for Environmental Change, Lancaster University
The three-week workshop, which begins on Thursday 22nd April, will include a series of film-making exercises, editing instruction, seminar discussions, film showings and a one-day colloquium to discuss results. The films produced during the workshop will be shown at the CUBE Gallery at 6pm on Thursday 13th May and an exhibition of the work will be staged at the Contact Theatre during the Future Everything conference, 13th-14th May.
The workshop is open to students in all departments of Manchester Metropolitan University and the University of Manchester and will be of particular interest to those studying in Faculties of Art & Design, Planning and Architecture. Any interested parties from outside the Universities should contact Sally Stone at the email address below.

Does anyone know if sedum will crowd out spring flowering bulbs once it is established? (...prevent them from pushing through in the spring). Would like to use it under an oak that gets quite a bit of sun on the ground underneath.
Thank you in advance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Sedum should be fine as long as the bulbs are not very small ones like early crocuses. |
Thank you for the information. There are just tulips planted currently. |

Well I use k3b for reproducing CDs and it works about as well as just about any CD burning software I've ever used on _any_ platform, even on Gnome, though it's primarily a KDE utililty. I'm just looking for a simple, solid CD player UI that understands CDDB lookups, local and remote. -- Lindsay Haisley | "Fighting against human | PGP public key FMP Computer Services | creativity is like | available at 512-259-1190 | trying to eradicate | <http://pubkeys.fmp.com> http://www.fmp.com | dandelions" | | (Pamela Jones) | -- firstname.lastname@example.com mailing list

Amy's Kitchen Scores with Natural Frozen Entrees and More
Amy's Kitchen is a remarkable natural frozen food company located in Petaluma, California, just 30 miles north of the Diabetes Health offices. The company was founded in 1987 by Rachel and Andy Berliner, who named it after their young daughter Amy. They started on the proverbial "shoestring" budget, working out of their house and using their barn as headquarters.
In 1987, the idea of organic food was not well known and there weren't many frozen meals for vegetarians to buy. Their first product, a vegetable pot pie, was an instant success. Since then, according to Amys.com, they have created more than 88 frozen meals, including pizzas, pocket sandwiches, pot pies, entrées, snacks, and whole meals. In 1999, they introduced a grocery line that includes canned soups, beans, and chili, as well as bottled pasta sauces and salsas. Their foods are carried by natural food stores, supermarkets, and some club stores in the United States, Canada, and abroad.
Not all their food is diabetes-friendly because the carb counts can get a little high, especially if you're trying to follow Dr. Bernstein's diet. But check out their products at the store, read the labels, and decide if there's one that fits your carb budget. The company's website features several success stories about people losing weight by following some of their detailed diets.
Diabetes Health recently sampled three of Amy's newer products: the Roasted Vegetable Tamale, the Organic Chocolate Cake, and the Breakfast Scramble Wrap.
My 11-year-old twin daughters and I tried the Breakfast Scramble Wrap. We thought it tasted pretty darn good for something so easy to prepare (two-and-a-half minutes in the microwave). You'd swear it contained eggs (none of Amy's products contain peanuts, shellfish, fish, or eggs), but it's made of organic tofu, vegetables, and cheese. We liked its nice "perky" flavor that was neither bland nor too spicy. We thought it tasted much better than it looked (it's a yellow explosion once you take a bite), and the whole wheat "wrap" was nicely textured. For those of you with allergies, the Scramble contains wheat, milk, soy, and sesame oil. While not exactly low carb, the whole Wrap has 30 grams of carbs, 21 grams of protein, and 380 calories, and could be a complete breakfast. It's a nice way to get going on a cold morning!
The Roasted Vegetable Tamale entrée is non-dairy and gluten free. It's made from organic white corn, filled with organic vegetables, and topped with a red sauce. A side of black beans rounds out the meal. Our office taste testers really liked it. They felt that the flavor and texture of the tamale was complemented nicely by the beans and thought that the sauce was perfect-not too heavy and not too light. Definitely a "thumbs up." The entire thing is one serving and contains 46 grams of carb, 9 grams of protein, and 280 calories.
The organic Chocolate Cake was an instant home run in our office. Yup, it's a dessert, and desserts are a no-no, but if you're going to go there...this vegan non-dairy cake delivers. We found the flavor deliciously light, very chocolaty, and moist. Wow! There are about six servings per container. One serving has 27 grams of carbs, 2 grams of protein, and 170 calories.
Amy's Kitchen uses only natural ingredients, so there are no partially hydrogenated oils in any of their products. Their products also contain no additives, no preservatives, no GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and 0 grams of trans fat. Trans fatty acids, or trans fats, are formed when liquid vegetable oils go through hydrogenation. Some food manufacturers use hydrogenated vegetable fat because it is solid at room temperature and has a longer shelf life. However, consumption of trans fats from partially hydrogenated vegetable fats and oils is thought to play a role in diabetes and other serious health-related issues. The FDA and the American Heart Association (AHA) recommend that people consume as few trans fats as possible. Products made from vegetables, fruits, and grains have no trans fats.
Tip: Amys.com is a fun and informative website. Check out their Gluten Free Diet Plan, which uses their numerous gluten-free entrees.

School is just around the corner, and all those school supplies can end up being costly, which is why several local McDonald's restaurants hosted a backpack giveaway Saturday.
The McDonald's in Santa Maria was one of just several local McDonald's that participated.
In all, McDonald's gave away 2,000 free backpacks to elementary and middle school students Saturday morning. Some of the restaurants even hosted a back to school fair.
On Sunday, United Way of San Luis Obispo is hosting its KidSpree event. 200 kids will get gift cards to spend on new school clothes.

Hot, Buttered Cauliflower Puree
One 1-pound head of cauliflower, cored and separated into 2-inch florets
1 cup heavy whipping cream
¾ stick (6 Tbsp.) unsalted butter
cayenne pepper
1. Preheat oven to 325°F.
2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the cauliflower florets until tender, about 7 minutes. Drain well. Spread the cauliflower on a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for about 5 minutes, to dry it out.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the heavy cream with the butter and bring to a simmer over moderate heat just until the butter is melted.
4. Working in batches, puree the cauliflower in a blender with the warm cream mixture; transfer the puree to a medium microwave-safe bowl. Season with salt and cayenne. Just before serving, reheat the puree in the microwave in 1-minute intervals, stirring occasionally.
Servings: 6
Cooking Tips
*Make ahead tip: The cauliflower puree can be refrigerated overnight and reheated in a microwave; stir occasionally.
