Put a Healthy Spin on Pizza Night: New Year's Resolution Tip #9
01/28/15 0 Comments | Posted by Renew Life in Diet and Nutrition, Kids Health, Solutions, Studies, weight loss
Pizza and all its cheesy, gooey goodness is a crowd pleaser in most American homes—not to mention a mainstay of school lunch menus nationwide. The problem? According to a new study conducted by researchers from the University of Illinois at Chicago, too much pizza may have a significant impact on the health of our children. Here's what they found:
- One in five kids eats pizza every day as a meal or snack.
- On days when they eat pizza, children and teens consume an average of 157 more calories; 309 mg more sodium; and 4 g more saturated fat than on non-pizza days.
- When kids eat pizza, they typically eat a lot of it—accounting for more than 20% of their daily intake of calories. And, when it comes to the top source of calories in the diets of U.S. kids and teens, pizza is second only to grain- and carb-heavy desserts such as cake and cookies.
In addition, kids aren't balancing out their diet with more healthful foods on non-pizza days, and the overall effect may be contributing to problems such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and high blood pressure. According to study author Lisa Powell, "Given that pizza remains a highly prevalent part of children's diet, we need to make healthy pizza the norm."
Try these 5 simple tips for taking pizza night to a whole(some) new level!
- Prepare it at home. You may not be able to control what restaurants and food manufacturers put in their pizza, but preparing your own pie at home can go a long way toward improving the nutrient value.
- Swap out dough for flat bread. You can't have pizza without something to put all those toppings on, but try a healthier flat bread base made with whole grains instead of carb-heavy dough.
- Add more fruits and veggies. Ease up on meats and cheeses, which may be high in sodium and unhealthy fats. Instead, add more low-sugar fruits and non-starchy veggies.
- Ditch the jar sauce. Jar sauces are typically high in sugar—often in the form of high-fructose corn syrup—and sodium. Try using a can of natural tomato purée instead.
Pair it with a salad. Pairing pizza night with a healthy salad can help reduce the amount of calories, sodium and unhealthy fats consumed. Plus, the fiber in the veggies can help kids feel satisfied so they don't reach for another slice.
Eliminate High-Fructose Corn Syrup: New Year's Resolution Tip #6
01/19/15 0 Comments | Posted by Renew Life in Diet and Nutrition, General Health, Heart Health, Kids Health, Studies, weight loss
Have you checked the labels in your pantry lately? Chances are more than a few include high-fructose corn syrup (not to mention the fridge, where soda and sports drinks are among the biggest culprits). In 2015 it's time to say enough is enough, especially since yet another study has revealed the hidden dangers of HFCS.
Using mice, researchers from the University of Utah recently examined the effects of a diet high in HFCS—and the results may be a red flag for millions of Americans. According to lead author Wayne Potts, the fructose-glucose mix found in HFCS is significantly more toxic than sucrose (table sugar) and may pose a significant health risk. Unlike sucrose, HFCS is absorbed more quickly (due to the extra fructose), and the fructose travels directly to the liver where it contributes to a number of metabolic imbalances such as increased triglycerides and insulin resistance.
Potts and his team analyzed two groups of mice, each receiving one-quarter of their calories from either HFCS or sucrose—an amount similar to human consumption. Those in the HFCS group saw reduced reproduction (specifically 26.4% fewer offspring) as well as higher death rates among females.
"This is the most robust study showing there is a difference between high-fructose corn syrup and table sugar at human-relevant doses," said Potts. The team points out the link between the introduction of HFCS into the American diet in the 1970s and the corresponding rise in obesity and diabetes. Their advice? Reduce added sugars in the diet and avoid products made with HFCS—an excellent health goal for the new year!

Redskins release backup QB Beck
After selecting two quarterbacks in the NFL Draft over the weekend, Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan announced that backup John Beck was released.
The Redskins picked up Baylor's Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III with the second overall pick Thursday.

Griffin's selection was widely expected, but the Redskins caused a shock Saturday when they took Michigan State's Kirk Cousins with the 102nd pick, including to the player himself.
"I think it is a little surprising," Cousins told The Washington Times. "I was trying to forecast which teams would be looking at quarterback, and I didn't see the Redskins thinking along those lines."
The picks marked the first time the franchise took two quarterbacks in the first four rounds of the draft, according to The Washington Post.
Rex Grossman, who started 13 of 16 games last season, was re-signed in March, and 30-year-old Beck ultimately was the one who had to be let go.
"I thought we owed it to John to let him go out and find a team right away," Shanahan said.
Beck, who was acquired from the Baltimore Ravens in an August 2010 trade, went 0-3 as a starter last season, throwing four interceptions and just two touchdowns.
GOTTA PROB?Vontaze Burfict doesn't get drafted, but NFL still calls his name. Top undrafted free agents
Shanahan coached Cousins at the Senior Bowl and described him as a "steal" late in the draft.
"In that fourth round, you're trying to find people that can make your football team," Shanahan said. "We have a little bit more depth now than we did in the past."
Cousins confirmed he received a huge endorsement from the Redskins coach.
"Coach Shanahan's words to me were he couldn't pass me up and that he was excited to have me," he said.

Pythagoras conceived that the first attention that should be given to men should be addressed to the senses, as when one perceives beautiful figures and forms, or hears beautiful rhythms and melodies. Consequently he laid down that the first erudition was that which subsists through music's melodies and rhythms, and from these he obtained remedies of human manners and passions, and restored the pristine harmony of the faculties of the soul.:;Iamblichus of Chalcis in Life of Pythagoras
And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.1 Timothy 2:9-10 (as quoted in New Living Translation)

It is not worth asking how to define consciousness, how to explain it, how it evolved, what its function is, etc., because there's no one thing for which all the answers would be the same.

When you have decided to purchase a farm, be careful not to buy rashly; do not spare your visits and be not content with a single tour of inspection. The more you go, the more will the place please you, if it be worth your attention. Give heed to the appearance of the neighbourhood, - a flourishing country should show its prosperity.

These qualities which accompany this unity, praiseworthy community of purpose and welfare, loyalty to public ends, mutuality of sympathy, are emphasized. But when we look at the facts which the term denotes instead of confiding our attention to the intrinsic connotation, we find not unity, but plurality of societies, both good and bad.john dewey
Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement... says heaven and earth in one word... speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time.

AMD One-Ups Intel With Cheap Desktop Chips 362
from the price-war dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
Motorcycles, trucks... hmm, your analogy is nearly there, but there's something missing, I can't quite put my finger on it..
If you buy a 200euro amd you get the best bang for your buck. If you buy a 800 euro Intel you get more bang but pay more bucks per bang.
That's all very well, but how many bangs could a bangbuck buck if a bangbuck could bang bucks?
What tools are you using to determine that on-die cache is the bottleneck for your usage?
Have built systems for quite a few years, and it seems like you can overclock the hell out of intel chips using just good air coolers while AMD pretty much are running at peak speed. Both regarding heat and not crashing.
Built a dual core core 2 Duo 1.83GHz. It is running stable at 3.5GHz.
Intels 32nm i5-650 3.2GHz easily overclocks to 4.7GHz (not sure if stable yet)
If you compare Intel with AMD after you take this headroom into account, intel is on par with if not more cost effective than AMD.
DANG IT! That's what I get for getting on Slashdot at 6:30 in the morning. Meant Intels are FASTER, not cheaper!
I do not fear computers. I fear the lack of them. -- Isaac Asimov

- LeeLee2200 Jan 23, 2014 05:30 PM
Hi I am looking to host a last minute going away party for my brother who is relocating to Atlanta on the weekend of Feb 7th. Any ideas of affordable venues? Halls, or back rooms of a restaurant would work. Expecting about 30 people and We'd like to keep it near to downtown Pittsburgh. Thanks!!!
I see you haven't gotten much action on this question. You might check this recent thread for a lot of answers as a starter.

Transplanting a Jade Plant ~ Help Please?
My jade plant is a couple of years old. It's healthy and bushy. I am going to transplant it into a slightly larger and heavier pot. I would like to know what kind of soil is best and once it is transplanted should I water it right away or wait a week or so. I've read on some posts about 'gritty mix' but I don't know what that is or what it's purpose is.
When I transplant, should I put some rocks at the bottom of my pot? There is one good size hole in the pot. I've been climatizing it to outdoors for the summer on my deck. Thanks for all your help everyone.
No, no, no, no rocks on the bottom pls. it doesn't help drainage. No sand in the mix, either.
Pls. read around here on mixes, there are MANY & they all need to be fast draining, that's the point of gritty mix or things we do like amending C&S mix w/ 50% perlite, that will do as well if that's all one can get.
pirate_girl, thank you for your help. Got it, no rocks. I was thinking of putting a piece of filter cloth at the bottom to prevent the soil from coming through the hole, would that be a 'no' 'no' too? I bought some soil for cactus and succulents, so I'll mix it with some perlite.Thanks again. No rocks!
As Pirate Girl says.. No rocks on the bottom or sand. Try doing a gritty mix search here and see what materials are available to you. Many use a mix that is sifted bark, granite, and turface. Perlite and pumice are also materials used.
Do not water for about a week after moving it to a new pot. The roots need time to callous.
If you have more questions be sure to ask. :-)
Your welcome!
Just curious, what is filter cloth normally used for? As long as water gets through it will be fine.
I've used flat rocks off set a little in a pinch too. LOL!
I was gifted a huge sheet of cloth screen a few yrs back so am set for life. lol
We love pictures here so please share if you can. :-)
I just use a couple of rounds of newsprint (I trace the bottom of the pot on some newspaper pages 2 or 3 layers thick, then cut them out just inside the lines & place in bottom of pot BEFORE potting up). Newsprint disintegrates quickly, holds the mix in & does the trick for me: cheap & easy, my favorites!
I agree w/ suggestion to wait a week to water (sorry I forgot).
Good luck w/ the transplant.
I've put rocks or large gravel in the bottom of my cactus and jade plant pots for over 45 years and it helps with drainage. It also keeps my big jades from being too top heavy so they don't fall over. I keep the cactus jades root bound so they will be more apt to bloom and they bloom every year.
Thanks so much everyone for all your help.
jojo ~ The cloth that I'm using is just black landscaping cloth. I've got lots of it, so I just cut out a small circle and place it at the bottom of the pot.
pirategirl ~ I like your idea of using newspaper
spider ~ 45 years? Then why do some folks recommend NOT using rocks at the bottom? What kind of soil do you use?
YES 45 Years! I don't know why people say no rocks, but we all have different ways of growing plants. During all my years as a pro and amateur grower, I've always used some sort of drainage material in the bottom of the pots including broken clay pots. The soil I use is a mixture of small sharp rocks, about 3/8", small fir bark, course sharp sand and a small amount of soil. It looks like it has been swept off the side of the road. And when I water the water runs through pretty fast.
This post was edited by Spider1943 on Wed, May 14, 14 at 16:13
Dissimilar layers of mix will impede drainage due to the small particles migrating and lodging betwixt the larger particles, such as gravel at the bottom of the pot. The finer mix immediately above the gravel/rocks becomes saturated and impedes drainage, and the water must then travel horizontally before draining. JoJo nailed it.
Most commonly, folks will use standard bagged peat-based potting mixes on top of a layer of rock or gravel. That combination leads to the saturated layer and impeded drainage.
One *can* make an effective mix of graduated particle sizes in layers throughout the pot/container. Al (Tapla) has demonstrated this. However, it is what I would consider an advanced technique.

Andre Breton
a French writer and poet. He is known best as the founder of Surrealism. His writings include the first Surrealist Manifesto (Manifeste du surréalisme) of 1924, in which he defined surrealism as "pure psychic automatism".
Born to a family of modest means in Tinchebray (Orne) in Normandy, he studied medicine and psychiatry. During World War I he worked in a neurological ward in Nantes, where he met the devotee of Alfred Jarry, Jacques Vaché, whose anti-social attitude and disdain for established artistic tradition influenced Breton considerably. Vaché committed suicide at age 24, and his war-time letters to Breton and others were published in a volume... more »

With traffic as bad as it's gotten in Kampala and housing as expensive as it is, Prestige provides a relatively affordable downtown alternative. The location is convenient to most downtown destinations (you can even walk - it can be faster than public transport), spacious rooms (two toilets in a single!), comfy chairs and beds with nets, and a fairly well equipped kitchen (but no kitchen towel or dishwashing supplies provided). The friendly manager even let me keep stuff in the room while I went upcountry for several days and let me check out late. It's not really quiet, as there are car lots and karaoke all around and the road can get busy. Earplugs did the trick for sleeping comfortably, though.
Wifi is included but can be on and off (go to Piato restaurant down the street for fast, free wifi). The view is fantastic from higher floors. There's an elevator, but it's also on and off and could be more conveniently located. The pool looks inviting but smelled a bit like sewage, so you might do better to resist temptation (though I took the plunge and came out fine). I'd still stay there again. They're building a restaurant to include breakfast in the rate, so look for that soon.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Experience chic city living in the luxurious Prestige apartments. We offer you fully furnished and serviced one and two-bedroom apartments in central Kampala located on Plot 9 Lumumba Avenue near Rwenzori Courts. All apartments have been designed to exceptional modern standards and elegantly furnished. Amenities and services provided reflect international standards and include on-site Wi-Fi and digital satellite TV among others. Our leisure facilities include a swimming pool, gymnasium, Jacuzzi, Sauna and Steam bath. ... more less

As they mourned the passing of the King, the cogs of politics were all ready being put into motion; just as they had countless times going back as far as the Cnut the Great in the 11th century; the passing of the crown from father to son.
The Peeping Law
The people of Denmark are required to pay an annual media licensing fee of 2,200 kroner ($372.47) for permission to own a tv, radio, or computer. Apparently people are skipping out on this fee so Culture Minister Carina Christensen has proposed a new law that would allow inspectors to?
look in people?s windows and listen at their doors to find out if they have a television or radio operating
When ever you think that the government of the US is getting out of hand, there is an example somewhere in the world that shows it could be worse.
In other news: The people of Denmark have to pay an annual fee to own a tv?!?!?!

The sport of Air Racing has over 100 years of rich heritage and has inspired millions of people. Air Racing began in Reims France in 1909 and soon became a global phenomenon, reaching its Golden Age in the 1920s-30s. Throughout the last century Air Racing was regularly used as a platform to develop technology as well as for recreation. It took many forms from exciting pylon races (like the Reno Races, Formula 1 air racing and Aero GP) to single-plane time trials (like Red Bull Air Race) to the great long distance air races (like the Thompson Trophy and the Schneider Trophy). Air races challenged the world's most accomplished aviators and created heroes of the skies. Air Race 1 taps into this past while looking forward towards a new era for this magnificent sport.

I say this necklace is nicely made and just like shown on the webpage. However, I wish the rings are much smaller with maybe also a shorter chain (eg., 16'). At least for petite sized women, this size doesn't look feminal at all. I've returned it.

Hannibal (102 miles)
... 65 miles in, I stopped at a store. Two guys walked up and were blown away by my bike. They wanted to know all about it. They thought it was hilarious and had never heard of bike touring. Their reactions were very over the top and amusing to me. I got a few miles of flat but once I got into Hannibal, it got super steep. I got to my campsite at 98.2 miles, so I biked further down the highway. I'm glad I did, because I got to see some cool sights of the Mississippi ...

I also climbed up 244 steps to a lighthouse that was dedicated to Mark Twain and when I was about half way up I man told me not to bother there was nothing there to see and he was right!
But I was pleased I could climb the stairs without pausing.

Assume the following shooting scenario:D300AF-C - release onlyAF-ON button onlycH - continuous shootingDynamic area 21 pointsAF-ON button held while shutter is released.I hope I can phrase my question clearly. A question RE NX2 Version 2.3.1 when I select 'show focus points' in the View menu and examine a sequence of shots (shot in RAW) from a burst. Shouldn't the focus square displayed on my computer screen in NX2 follow the object that was originally focused on even though it is moving around in the frame (in the area that it must remain in for focus tracking)? The focus squares from one picture to the next seemed to be jumping around almost at random. What is the software "telling me" regarding the focus squares displayed from one shot to the next in a burst sequence? If they are in fact jumping around seemingly at random does this mean that I really did NOT "track" or maintain focus on the object? Also, I see only one focus square in NX2 even though I am in Dynamic area focus mode when shooting.
Jim F. from Prescott, AZhttp://jamesfarrell.smugmug.com
Only the AF sensor that was actually used will be shown - not the group that potentially could have acquired focus. If you see the indicated sensor jumping around in NX2, that's what happened, and it's not uncommon. A subject that doesn't contrast well with the background or that has many areas with similar tonality or color increases the likelihood of it occurring. I've seen it many times. It's not bullet-proof on that or any other camera, including other brands. All that helps is patience, multiple attempts and some awareness of what can cause problems.

Startups Are Everywhere We hear a lot about startups in the news, blogs, movies, and even commercials.

In my opinion those hopes and dreams are fuel in the nascent stages of your company, but not usually what happens. It's Hard It's hard work finding product-market fit.

Spend some time listening to companies with APIs and you may hear one refer to "long tail developers." Usually it's said in a derogatory and dismissive manner: "We aren't going after long tail developers with our API."

In an effort to focus, companies shun the so-called long tail developer for fear that resources will be drained catering to their every whim.

Also, the US economy. This was the start of excessive military spending. Reagan increased the debt from $1T to $3T, or 200%.

In terms of timing, in theory using an FBO should be faster as CopyTexImage will respecify a new texture with the appropriate dimensions, format and miplevels, then transfer the data to that new texture (CopyTexSubImage should skip the respecification step). An FBO doesn't need the additional data transfer so can save on the time required to do it.
On the other hand, changing a render target can be a time-consuming operation. It may involve a CPU/GPU synchronization (see http://www.opengl.org/wiki/Synchronization#Implicit_synchronization) which may be a bigger performance impact. If you're doing it a lot of times per frame then there may be a cutoff point beyond which the bandwidth cost of CopyTexImage (or CopyTexSubImage) is the lesser evil. (And remember that an FBO means minimum two render target changes per frame, so that's two potential synchronization points.)
On the other other hand, there are things that FBOs allow you to do that CopyTex(Sub)Image doesn't. You want multiple render targets, for example? Gotta use an FBO.
So that's a lot of "maybe"s and "might"s and whatnot. By now you should be getting the idea that there is no absolute answer to this question, and that cases can exist where either is preferable to the other, and that sometimes those cases can be implementation-dependent. So in the end we need to fall back on the time-honoured answer: benchmark, find which is best for your program, and use that.
(Finally, and as a historical note, Doom 3 used CopyTex(Sub)Image and didn't suffer overly much from it, but FBOs didn't exist back then so maybe that's not too relevant a point...)

Police brought three young men to North Platte Saturday for vandalized a car back in September at South Oak Manor.
The investigation began on Sept. 1, police spokesman Rodney Brown said. A police officer went to the parking lot of the South Oak Manor high-rise apartment building to check out a report of $4,500 in damage to a 2002 Hyundai.
The 64-year-old man who owned the car said someone slashed three tires and scratched the paint across most of the body sometime during the previous two days.
An investigator identified three suspects -- Blake Swartz, 18, Lucian Peterson, 22 and an unidentified 17-year-old man -- who had been in North Platte to help a family member move, police spokesman Rodney Brown said.
The three live in Atwood, Kan.
With the help of Atwood police, investigators found probable cause to arrest the three. They arrived in North Platte on Saturday to be arrested, processed and released from the Lincoln County Jail, charged with felony criminal mischief.

Indian compound mixed pair of Abhishek Verma and Jyothi Surekha Vennam lost in the bronze medal play-off to cap a rare forgettable outing at the Archery World Cup Stage I in Shanghai today.
The country`s top archers, including Deepika Kumari, will be seen in action in the TATA National Ranking Archery Tournament (NRAT) - 2nd Stage for Sub-Junior, Junior and Senior beginning at Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium on Tuesday.
Deepika Kumari got back into rhythm and kept India`s medal hopes alive advancing into the round of 32 in the recurve individual section at the Archery World Cup Stage 4 in Wroclaw, Poland on Wednesday.
With the confidence of women archers "shattered" by the recent incident of alleged sexual misconduct and a suicide in the Army Sports Institute in Pune, the Archery Association of India could shift the venue of the national camp for next month`s World Cup stage III.
The derecognition of the Archery Association of India has jeopardised the careers of archers employed with the Railways as they have been asked not to take part in any tournament conducted by the AAI.
The top four men and women archers in the recurve and compound section of the 2nd National Ranking Archery Tournament (NRAT) will represent India in the forthcoming World Cup Stage I and II, an official of the Archery Association of India (AAI) said.
Ace archers Deepika Kumari and Atanu Das of Steel Plant Sports Board (SPSB) and Dola Banerjee of Railway Sport Promotion Board (RSPB) won the top place in the 1st and 2nd elimination round of the ongoing 2nd National Ranking Archery Tournament (NRAT) at the JRD Tata Sports Complex on Saturday.
Dola Banerjee could not make it to her third straight Olympics but has no doubt that the squad picked for the upcoming London Games is the best to represent India.
Indian archer Rahul Banerjee says his success graph would not have gone upward without motherly support of his elder sister Dola.
Calling for financial assistance for the London Olympics-bound archers, Indian chief coach Limba Ram on Saturday said he was hopeful of winning at least two medals in the July 27-August 12 mega sporting event.
Olympian Dola Banerjee slumped to a poor seventh place, even as her Railways colleague Rimil Biruly made the cut by finishing on top in selection trial for the season-ending 17th Asian Archery Championship.
Indian archers were hoping to strike three medals in the Asian Games, but were getting a bit tired by the plethora of felicitations after their success at the Commonwealth Games.

Service and greetings from staff need much improvement. Staff look tired, overworked, underpaid and untrained. They had a sign posted seeking two supervisors!! They need it. We wondered who was supervising when we went. Burger ordered was supposed to be 1/3 pounder but was less than half that. Tasted poorly and slid out of soggy bun. Soda cups were so cheap and flimsy they crushed easily and slipped from your hands. Will never go back. There are other filipino choices nearby and far better.
