Editorial: Healthy messages can't be overstated
November 9, 2012 at 2:31 am in River Falls Journal
More than one in three Americans (35%) are said to be obese today's euphemism for fat. Fifty years ago that percentage was closer to one in eight (13%). Besides being the most powerful nation in the world, current statistics show that the United States' population is also the fattest.
Being fat means you're more apt to have a heart attack, stroke, diabetes and certain cancers among the leading cause of preventable death. Continue Reading

VOTING-RIGALI Oct-29-2004 (670 words) xxxn
Work for justice must go beyond Election Day, Cardinal Rigali says
Catholic News Service
PHILADELPHIA (CNS) -- A well-formed conscience should compel Christians to "work for a just society not only on Election Day but in the many circumstances of everyday life," Cardinal Justin Rigali of Philadelphia said in a statement published Oct. 28 in his archdiocesan newspaper.
The statement in The Catholic Standard & Times touched on such issues as abortion, the death penalty, poverty, same-sex marriage, war, immigration, cloning, global solidarity, stem-cell research, care for the environment, health care and euthanasia.
"All these issues should be considered by voters as they form their conscience," Cardinal Rigali said. But, he added, "not all these issues are of equal gravity."
"Prudent judgments made by thoughtful Catholics can lead to different legitimate approaches to solving the problems of poverty, immigration, health care and acceptable military force," he said. "Some issues, however, because they lie at the foundation of society and address fundamental aspects of what it means to be human, must be considered first and foremost."
Among those issues Cardinal Rigali included abortion, assisted suicide and euthanasia, embryonic stem-cell research, cloning and same-sex marriage.
"All actions that enable direct attacks upon innocent human life and the family deserve absolute rejection," he said.
On proposals to redefine marriage to include the union of two people of the same sex, Cardinal Rigali said, "Legal protections and provisions for homosexual persons may be reflected in civil law, but society cannot change the definition of marriage that is revealed in natural law and confirmed by human history."
He urged Catholics in the Philadelphia Archdiocese to prepare for voting by attending Mass at one of the parishes where it will be offered on Election Day.
"The eucharistic table is a fitting place to begin the journey of casting our votes," he said.
Bishop Arthur J. Serratelli of Paterson, N.J., had a message similar to Cardinal Rigali's in a column for the Oct. 28 edition of The Beacon, Paterson's diocesan newspaper.
Saying the American people "are at a crossroads in our nation's history," Bishop Serratelli wrote: "We need to face squarely the principles that inform our choices and the consequences that follow them. Not financial gain, but truth; not popular acclaim, but truth; not party spirit, but truth is the foundation for sound judgments and responsible choices."
"Before we make any choice, we need to think logically," he said. "Only with careful reasoning can we hope to arrive at truth -- apart from the slant of the polls and the prejudice of the press."
Rejecting as "blatantly false" the charge that Catholics are "a one-issue people," Bishop Serratelli said, "Not all moral issues bear the same moral weight.
"At times the evil of war may be permitted -- lamentably and always as the last resort -- to guarantee and protect the rights and lives of innocent people," he wrote. "But the direct killing of innocent life is always wrong. Abortion, euthanasia, embryonic stem-cell research and human cloning destroy the most fundamental right of all -- the right to live."
The Paterson bishop also rejected the claims of some politicians that they personally oppose abortion but "will not let this influence my vote."
"Has logic been banished from our land?" he asked. "How can someone personally hold that abortion is murder and yet say, 'Because my constituency wants it, I will support abortion'? How can anyone logically say my religion does not affect my decisions on these issues of life?"
Bishop Serratelli said "respect for the common good" requires an effort to overturn Supreme Court decisions believed to have been wrongly decided.
"Tragically, support for the Roe vs. Wade decision (on abortion) has been made the litmus test of political viability and the more pressing moral challenge to change is sidestepped," he wrote.
"Logic, coupled with integrity, demands the opposite response," he added. "Since human life begins at conception, presidents, governors, legislators, judges and voters should be working to ensure that our laws guarantee all individuals the right to life, even at the weakest and most vulnerable stage of their life."

Recent Activity
Cities and states taking immigration matters into their hands—a trend that began in 2006 in response to federal-level failure—only gained momentum in 2007.
MPI's Aaron Matteo Terrazas and Trinidad Macias report on driver's licenses for the unauthorized in New York State, H-2A reform, a material support bar exemption for Hmong, and more.
Nearly 1.3 million individuals became lawful permanent residents of the United States in 2006. MPI's Gretchen Reinemeyer and Jeanne Batalova look at the latest statistics on legal immigration.
MPI's Aaron Matteo Terrazas and Claire Bergeron report on the halting of DHS plans to crack down on unauthorized employment, Iraqi refugee admissions, the extended deployment of the National Guard on the Southwest border, and more.
In the 1990s, Mexican immigrants began to leave California, Texas, and Illinois for the so-called new settlement states where they had not previously resided. As Ivan Light of UCLA explains, their reasons for leaving or bypassing Los Angeles were both economic and political.
Recent Activity
The events that unfolded in the U.S. on September 11 generated a renewed sense of urgency over border management. Bilateral Smart Border agreements were reached between the U.S. and Canada as well as the U.S. and Mexico in December 2001 and March 2002. This report tracks the implementation of these border accords and seeks to evaluate their effectiveness.
Although the relationship between migration and development has been widely discussed and debated for more than 30 years, a number of unanswered questions and unsettled debates remain. On April 11 and 12, 2003, the Migration Policy Institute sought to advance the dialogue. This report summarizes the key talking points of the high level meeting and offers some key summary remarks.
On November 25, 2002, Congress passed the Homeland Security Act, which effectively overhauled the former Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) and called for a massive reorganization of immigration functions under the newly formed Department of Homeland Security (DHS).This report outlines key changes incurred, highlights points of concern and offers policy recommendations aimed at remedying some of these concerns.
Amidst heightened security concerns in the post-9/11 world, this policy brief examines international responses to the Iraqi refugee situation and explores various tools that can effectively allow states to reconcile security efforts with the continued commitment to international protection.
This report explores the key themes that emerged during a conference convened on September 9, 2002 by the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars and the Migration Policy Institute.
The September 11 attacks demanded a powerful response, but blanket measures such as roundups and arrests, intimidating interviews, lengthy detention, and special registration requirements are blunt tools.This report offers the most comprehensive compilation and analysis yet of the individuals detained in the wake of September 11, their experiences, and the government's post-September 11 immigration measures.
This policy brief examines the implications of the Census Bureau's proposed discontinuation of the "long-form" questionnaire in 2010 for data and research on the foreign born population in the United States.
For more than a century, policymakers and practitioners have debated the structure and purpose of the U.S. immigration system, but in the aftermath of recent breaches the momentum necessary for reform has arrived. A look at the challenges the INS faced and proposals and next steps.

Neman or Nemunas (Нёман, Nioman, 'nʲoman; ; Lithuanian: ; Neemen; Niemen; Неман; Німан) is a major Eastern European river rising in Belarus and flowing through Lithuania before draining into the Curonian Lagoon and then into the Baltic Sea at Klaipėda. It is the border between Lithuania and Russia's Kaliningrad Oblast in its lower reaches. The 14th largest river in Europe, the largest in Lithuania and the 3rd largest in Belarus, it is navigable for most of its 900-kilometer length.
The Neman River basin was formed during the Quaternary period, and is located roughly along the edge of the last glacial sheet, dating from about 25,000-22,000 BP (Before Present). Its depth varies from 1 meter in its upper courses to 5 meters in the lower basin.
In German, the river has been called die Memel at least since about 1250, when Teutonic Knights erected Memelburg castle and the town of Memel at the mouth of the Curonian Lagoon, baptizing it after the indigenous name of the river, Memel. The city of Memel, now in Lithuania, is known today as Klaipėda. On German road maps and in German lexika, only the 112 km section within Prussia (starting at Schmalleningken ) was named Memel ; the part outside Germany was labelled Niemen
The border between the Teutonic Order state and Lithuania was fixed in 1422 by the Treaty of Lake Melno and remained stable for centuries. In 1919, the Treaty of Versailles made the river the border separating the Memel Territory from German East Prussia as of 1920. At that time, Germany's Weimar Republic adopted the Deutschlandlied as its official national anthem. In the first stanza of the song, written in 1841, the river is mentioned as the eastern border of a (then politically yet-to-be united) Germany:
The Treaty of Tilsit between Napoleon and Czar Alexander I was signed on a raft in the river in 1807.
|German lyrics
|Approximate English translation
|Von der Maas bis an die Memel,
Von der Etsch bis an den Belt
|From the Meuse to the Memel,
From the Adige to the Belt
Lithuanians refer to the Neman as "the father of rivers" (Nemunas is a masculine noun in Lithuania). Countless companies and organizations in Lithuania have "Nemunas" in their name, including a folklore ensemble, a weekly magazine about art and culture, a sanatorium, and numerous guest houses and hotels. Lithuanian and Polish literature often mention the Nemunas. One of the most famous poems by Maironis starts:
|Lithuanian lyrics
|Approximate English translation
|Kur bėga Šešupė, kur Nemunas teka
|Where the Šešupė runs, where the Neman flows
|Tai mūsų tėvynė, graži Lietuva
|That's our homeland, beautiful Lithuania
Almost every Lithuanian can recite these words from heart. It is so well known that it is sometimes thought to be an unofficial national anthem.
There are many other smaller rivers and rivulets in Lithuania with names that may have been derived from "Nemunas" - Nemunykštis, Nemuniukas, Nemunynas, Nemunėlis, Nemunaitis. The etymology of the name is disputed: some say that "Nemunas" is an old word meaning "a damp place," while other say that "Nemunas" was a god in Baltic mythology.
Since the loops are located in Lithuania, they are often referred to as "The Nemunas loops".
In 1992 Nemunas Loops Regional Park was founded. Its goal is to preserve the spectacular loops (Lithuanian: vingis) that the Neman makes in the Punia forest. Near Prienai, the Neman makes a 17-km long loop (like a teardrop) coming within 1.2 km of completing the loop. The Neman flows along the double bend between Balbieriškis and Birštonas for 48 kilometers and then moves in a northerly direction for only 4.5 kilometers. It is a significant historical site with castles that served as the first line of defense against forays by the Teutonic knights.
At its delta the Neman splits into a maze of river branches and canals mixing with polders and wetlands and is a very attractive destination for eco-tourism. The four main distributaries are Atmata, Pakalnė, Skirvytė and Gilija. The river plays a crucial part in the ecosystem of the Curonian Lagoon. It provides the main water inflow to the lagoon and keeps the water almost fresh. This allows both fresh water and mixed water animals to survive there. As the Neman's delta expands, the lagoon shrinks. Since the delta is located in Lithuania, it is often referred to as Nemunas Delta. Nemunas Delta Regional Park was created in the delta in 1992.
The Neman River is used for a variety of purposes such as fishing, hydropower generation, water supply, industry, and agriculture, as well as recreation, tourism, and water transport. There have been proposals to deepen its watercourse below Kaunas to make it more consistently usable.
The largest cities on the Neman are Hrodna in Belarus, Alytus and Kaunas in Lithuania, and Sovetsk in the Kaliningrad Oblast of Russia. The river basin has a population of 5.4 million inhabitants. Industrial activities in the Belarusian section include metal processing, chemical industries, pulp and paper production, and manufacturing of building materials, as well as food-processing plants. In Lithuania the city of Kaunas, with about 400,000 inhabitants, is the country's principal user of the river; the local industries that impact the river are hydropower generation, machinery, chemical, wood processing and paper production, furniture production, textile and food-processing. In Kaliningrad, industrial centres near the river include Sovetsk and Neman, which have large pulp and paper production facilities.
Above Kaunas a dam for Kaunas hydroelectric plant was built in 1959. The resulting artificial lake is the biggest such lake in Lithuania named the Kaunas Reservoir (Kauno marios). It occupies 63.5 km² (24.5 square miles); its length is 93 km (58 miles); its greatest depth is 22 m (72 feet). The Kaunas Reservoir is a popular destination for Lithuanian yachting.
The Neman connects to the Deima through the Polessk Canal.
The following fish have been found in the Neman: perch, pike, zander, roach, tench, bream, rudd, ruffe, and bleak. Its tribitaries also contain stone loach, the three-spined stickleback, minnows, trout, sculpins, gudgeon, dace and chub.
Atlantic salmon formerly migrated upstream to spawn; the dam constructions on the river, most of which took place during the 20th century, reduced their numbers considerably. The dam at Kaunas does not provide fish ladders. The spawning season took place in the fall; ethnographic studies of the time report that night fishing, using torches and harpoons, was a common technique.
A report by the Swedish EPA (Environmental Protection Administration) rates the quality of the Neman in Lithuania as moderately polluted or polluted. High concentrations of organic pollutants, nitrates and phosphates occur in different parts of the river. Environmental issues include water quality (eutrophication and pollutants), changes in the hydrological regime, and flooding control. The environmental problems in each of the countries that make up the basin are slightly different. In Belarus the main problems are oil products as well as nitrogen and BOD (biological oxygen demand). The environmental issues in the Kaliningrad section include high concentrations of BOD, lignosulphates, and nitrogen. In Lithuania, the operations of the Kaunas hydropower station cause changes of the water level that affect the riparian ecosystem. Old wastewater treatment facilities along the entire river also contribute to pollution.
The co-operation necessary to ensure the health of the river is complicated by the political divisions in the basin - its territory is shared among Russia, Belarus and the European Union country of Lithuania. Several co-operation initiatives are underway to address the environmental issues of the river.

April 20, 1995By Pamela Cressey
April 14,1865, was Good Friday in Washington, D.C., and the Lincolns planned to attend Ford's Theater on 10th Street. Although the president did not want to attend the theatre that night, he said to his wife on the way, "I have never felt so happy in my life." Soon after, people were shouting in the streets, "Abraham Lincoln has been shot!"
This sounds like a Washington, D.C., story that has nothing to do with Alexandria. But the assassination of Lincoln propelled an Alexandria artifact into history and eventual obscurity. Over the next few weeks, I will reveal the manufacture, uses and destruction of an object once associated with Alexandria. But first we must go back in time to a bit before the assassination. During Alexandria's occupation by Union forces in the Civil War, the United States Military Railroad (USMRR) operated the Orange and Alexandria Railroad roundhouse complex near Duke and South Patrick streets. The rail yards were surrounded by a stockade erected in the early years of the war. The USMRR also constructed numerous buildings to build and maintain rail cars delivering supplies for Union military campaigns in the South. The staff also designed and built bridges, trestles and modular housing, and, according to the soon-to-be-published article of Slusser's in Alexandria Chronicles, the publication of the Alexandria Historical Society, "invented tools for ripping up and bending rails and devices for straightening bent rails."
Of all the interesting items designed and made in the USMRR rail shops, one stands out: Between November 1863 and February 1865, a rail car was constructed here for the use of President Lincoln. It was, Slusser says, the "only railroad coach ever built by the United States Government for the use of a president in his executive duties."
Mr. Slusser has discovered that there are virtually no government records that document the request order, supply vouchers, construction plans or financing of the car, or even its furnishing. He has undertaken personal communication with dozens of people across the country to piece together the story of President Lincoln's railroad car.
Although Mr. Slusser's research provides a full chronicle of the car, he concludes: "This elusiveness of firm information about the birth of the car continues to cloud information about almost every aspect of its ensuing life."
Follow the stories of the USMRR complex and the Lincoln railroad car over the next few weeks in "Alexandria Artifacts."

The best laid schemes o' mice and men
Gang aft a-gley [often go astray],
And lea'v us nought but grief and pain,
For promised joy.
At the beginning of Of Mice and Men, we learn about George and Lennie's dream (or scheme) of owning their own ranch, living off the fat of the land, and raising rabbits. Just when it appears that George and Lennie will get their dream farm, fate steps in, and those plans go astray.
In this case, fate is given a hand by Lennie's inability to control his strength and to understand what to do. In the end, George is left with the "grief and pain" of losing his friend Lennie and therefore of losing the "promised joy" of running their ranch together.

I have a 94 legacy. Recently about 5% of time when I let off the gas
the engine will shake pretty badly. I dont get right back into the gas
I let it coast a few seconds and then back into the gas and it is
fine. It doesnt do this all the time only a few times a week.
I think I need to replace my EGR valve for another problem with
loseing power. I pull over when I feel I am loseing power it runs
rough for a min and then it is fine and I can drive it no prob,
Any ideas on these two probs?

Re: Shakes when letting off gas at higher speeds
Does it idle smoothly? I'm wondering if at that age your car could use
a throttlebody cleaning. I think that can clear up some problems with
the IACV which meters air when the throttle is closed. Do you get a
check engine light?
(saw your other post, I'll certainly investigatemy EGR valve)

Steve Jobs: Apple TV getting YouTubed
May 30, 2007
Jobs revealed the partnership with YouTube during his talk at the D: All Things Digital conference in Carlsbad, Calif. Starting next month, Apple TV users will be able to select "YouTube" as an option from the device's main menu and view thousands of the most viewed and most popular videos on the site.
Apple TV is designed to connect a wide-screen television with content purchased or downloaded over the Internet by a Mac or PC. Until now, however, Apple TV users looking for content were mostly dependent on television programs or movies they had purchased through the iTunes Store. There's no browser inside the interface that would let users access other Internet videos, though they could move their home videos to Apple TV.
Now, Apple has designed a hook into YouTube that will let Apple TV owners access the most popular videos that have been converted into the h.264 standard, said David Moody, vice president for Mac hardware marketing at Apple. The full catalog of YouTube videos will be available later in the year, as YouTube converts the rest, Moody said.
Apple also announced that it will make a higher-capacity version of Apple TV available Thursday. The current Apple TV product costs $299 with a 40GB hard drive, but a version with a 160GB hard drive will now cost $399.

- Why YouTube...
- I surf YouTube's site when I need a break from work, but there is a lack of quality content. There is nothing on YouTube that I find worthy of downloading to Apple TV.

- Exactly YouTube
- I disagree. I find a decent amount of random things worth watching. They are either educational, or entertaining, or just contain tons of shock value. I'd say I watch as much content on YouTube every week as I do on TV. I maybe watch 60 to 90 minutes of TV a week, and that's usually just the Colbert Report or Mythbusters. Nothing too fancy, and both of them somewhat educational. Adding YouTube to Apple TV is just as fitting as putting apple in a pie. But I don't suggest putting your Apple TV in a pie, as that may void your warranty and require lots of Pepto-Bismol...

- DivX would be best.
- I like better Stage6 than You Tube
- Like Reply Link Flag
- Like it or not, it seems to be the winner...
- Like Google, YouTube has gained a certain critical mass of users
that makes it a huge content channel for all sorts of things, good
and bad. I'm happy its going to be limited to h264 (or is it x264)
content, maybe we'll start to see a general raise in quality of video
on the site over the next few years with h264 and its descendants
leading the way. Of course people are going to need to learn how
lighting and such works as well, we'll see ;)

- I Would Like Both
- I think they need both, since each has different strengths.
YouTube has the mindshare and a huge amount of content. Most people have probably not heard of Stage 6, but I think the quality of their video is better. Hopefully, h264 will improve the YouTube video quality, since YouTube as-is it will look pretty small/crappy on an HD TV.
As far as codecs go, h264 probably has a bandwidth advantage, but it seems to require much more CPU to decode/play compared to the DivX codec. For example, on my old G4 Mac Mini, I can play DivX video at 920x540, and it looks absolutely great. That resolution is unplayable using Quicktime and h264, even though the encoded files are about the same size.
Since DivX content can already be uploaded to YouTube, hopefully they will be able to convert the DivX to h264 without the huge quality loss that happens now with YouTube.

- iPhone next?
- This likely means we'll see YouTube on the iPhone. YouTube videos
viewable via Apple TV are being converted into the h.264 standard
which iTunes, iPods and the iPhone can easily play as well.
Wonder if we'll be able to listen to Pandora via the iPhone web

- Barely Mentioned The Bigger Drive
- I think that news is just as big, because now the AppleTV is true iPod also. That is, all your music/photos should be able to fit on the Apple TV, allowing you to use it off-line as an iPod stereo component.
Now if they just offer subscription-based HD content for Apple TV, I think it will be a huge hit. I think it will make the internet a truly viable alternative to cable/dish subscriptions.

- Not enough
- I think it would have been better to add the ability to browse for and stream internet radio stations. Also the interface for dealing with digital photos is poor. I hope this is simply one of many upgrades coming to Apple TV. It's a great unit, but it is clearly in it's infancy. While YouTube is indeed a popular source of content, it's not one I or many other users will use heavily.

- Finally Youtube on AppleTV...
- This will definitely enhance the AppleTV product. While Youtube videos are not the best quality I always find something of value.
BTW, you can also watch Youtube and other video sites on TV using Nintendo Wii or PS3. Applications like moowee.tv and stumbleupon video make it easy to watch web videos on TV using the Wii.

and search and create custom channels and stuff.

- Will it be the same lousy quality?
- I find the flash encoding on YouTube to be barely watchable. Apple
makes a big deal about H264, but will we really be seeing home
videos shot in hidef or the same crappy files transcoded? Also,
who is going to be doing all this compression?
- Like Reply Link Flag
- Re: Lousy Quality
- You don't have to shoot in hi-def to get good quality h264
compression. Much of the video uploaded to YouTube is poor to
begin with (shot with phone, still camera, etc) then compressed
and converted to FLV (Flash video). I think Apple & Google will
focus on converting the best quality content first. Either way,
demand and technology will raise the quality over time.
"iLounge spoke with Apple's Vice President of Worldwide Mac
Hardware Marketing, David Moody, who provided more details
about this upgrade.
According to Moody, not all of the Youtube catalog will be
available on day one. Instead, "thousands of videos designed for
Apple TV" will be available at launch, but that the remainder will
become available by the fall. The reason for the delay is that
Youtube will be encoding all of their videos into a "H.264
streaming-efficient compression format" specifically for the
Apple TV."

As a birthday gift from David, I simply told him that I would like to go out somewhere on a free day that we had. I didn't really need anything; I just wanted a nice day out. When it came to choosing a place to go, I realized that I had never really experienced Portland, Maine. I've been there to run the Maine half or full marathon, but never explored the city. So that's where we went.
We could not have asked for a nicer day yesterday too. It was sunny and in the mid 50s.
To start the afternoon, David and I went to Duck Fat for lunch. I had heard great things about their fries and their overall menu. It was crowded when we arrived, but the wait was only for 15 minutes.
The set up inside the restaurant was very communal. There were two big tables of 8 chairs, a small bar and a long communal bar along the wall. To eat here, you have to be ok with sitting thisclose to other people. But they do keep you occupied while you're staring at the wall.
For drinks, David and I both requested their craft sodas: I had the mint and lime, he had the birch beer. It took a while for the soda's came out and they were in little ball mason jars. David complained that his was mostly ice.
For entrees, we ordered the Belgian fries with truffle ketchup and garlic mayo, David ordered the roasted pork belly panini with pickled fennel, shaved apple and horseradish mayo, and I had the ham and Swiss panini. Well, that's what I ordered, but apparently the server heard grilled cheese. When they brought our dishes out, they took mine back but left David's. I encouraged him to eat, while I snacked on the fries.
As the name of the restaurant implies, these are cooked in duck fat. They made the fries more soggy and I couldn't really discern a different flavor made by the duck fat. The truffle ketchup was delicious! But I guess I like my fries with a bit more crunch.
After about 5 minutes or so, I finally received my ham and Swiss panini.
For all of the hoopla I felt that surrounded the restaurant, I was a bit underwhelmed with it all. Don't get me wrong, the panini was cheesy, crunchy and full of ham, but it wasn't mind blowing. Thankfully, because of the mix up, our server took it off of our bill. But in the end, I probably wouldn't seek this place out again. Some people may rave about its food and atmosphere, but it's just not my type of place. I think once is enough.
Duck Fat is located on 43 Middle Street in Portland, ME.
After the restaurant, the only other place that I wanted to check out was Holy Donut…donuts made from Maine mashed potatoes. But apparently it is SUPER popular, especially on this holiday weekend, because when we arrived around 1pm, they were all sold out. Whomp whomp. They did give us two coupons for a free donut so next time we'll be there bright and early!
Since we had some time to kill before we were going to meet my cousin, David and I drove around for a bit. Then we got the idea to meet my cousin where she worked so that David could get a hair cut. After that we headed down to the Old Port to walk around.
Even though I was full from Duck Fat, David was still a bit hungry. We ended up popping in to Buck's Naked BBQ and Gritty McDuff's.
At Buck's David ordered some pulled pork and pulled brisket for us to share. I also ordered a Buxton IPA (I'm pretty sure that's the name?). At Gritty's, David had a French onion soup and I had the Red Claw IPA. That beer was delicious. It was smooth and had a bit of a caramel flavor to it.
Once my cousin, Angie, was done with work, we met up for some frozen yogurt.
I had the blood orange with mini chocolate chips, sliced almonds and toasted coconut. Yum! And the prices were so much more reasonable than Pinkberry: $3 for a huge small!
We hung around for a bit before David and I had to head back to Massachusetts. I hadn't seen Angie in over a year so it was wonderful to catch up.
And that was my birthday day! After all of the cruddy weekends we've had, it was so nice to finally have beautiful weather. And wonderful company.
Hope you all have a wonderful holiday weekend!

About Me
I am a media veteran and China public policy specialist. I was an English Anchor for China Central Television (CCTV) International from 2002-2005, presenting Chinese political and economic events with fresh perspectives to a global audience, and interviewing world business leaders for their insights on doing business in China. My major Newscasts included live coverage of the 2003 Iraq war, the SARS epidemic, the first round of Six Party Talks, and the launch of China's first manned spacecraft Shenzhou 5, etc. In 2006, I was at CNN Washington Bureau. Since 2007, I have held important roles in think tanks promoting U.S.-China Relations in New York City and advised several financial institutions on the interface of business and government. Most recent years, I was a Senior Research Associate for China Public Policy at Harvard University, where I developed case studies through first hand interviews to bring insights into public policy making in China. Research also focused on policies regarding Chinese investment in the U.S.. This year I founded Innovation Ideas Institute with other Harvard scholars, a think tank that aims to foster innovation in China.

Air New Zealand will fly a Boeing 767-300ER to McMurdo Sound in Antarctica to assess the suitability of operating charter services there.
Research body Antarctica New Zealand said in a statement that the Star Alliance carrier has been invited to assist with transporting researchers to and from the frozen continent, and the airline will operate a proving flight from Auckland on 5 October.
The research organisation had previously relied on the Royal New Zealand Air Force's Boeing 757s to fly to McMurdo. However, unlike those aircraft, the larger 767s will not require refuelling on the ground to make the return trip to Auckland.
The 767 would not require any modifications to land at the blue ice runway at Pegasus Field during the summer season. If the proving flight proves successful, Air New Zealand could operate another two services this season.
Darren Howie on AirTeam Images
"Working with Air New Zealand could provide the New Zealand and United States national Antarctic programmes with more operational flexibility," say Antarctica New Zealand chairman Rob Fenwick.
Australia's Antarctic research organisation also operates regular flights to the Wilkins blue ice runway if weather permits. They are flown using an Airbus A319CJ operated by Sydney-based company Skytraders.

Will the iPad anti glare film fit the iPad2?
- Asked by Vicki R from Wooster
Power Support HD Anti-Glare Film Set for iPod touch (4th Gen.)
Product No Longer Available
2 Answers from the Community
Best Answer:
Technically it will fit, there was no change in screen size, your only concern would be your front camera. The camera will show things a bit fuzzy, but besides that you should have no problem with it. I personally put a small drillbit where the camera hole should be, on the film, and took out that small bit very evenly.
Hope that helps.

4-H Clover Catalog
Empowering young people to reach their full potential
4-H brings young people, ages 5 to 19, and adults together to learn everyday skills through hands-on learning. Working on activities from animal and plant sciences to robotics, 4-H'ers learn problem-solving skills that can make a positive impact upon our community. Through 4-H, young people learn to:
4-H clubs are open to ages 8 to 18. Clubs meet monthly for group activities and club business. Each
club elects officers and has an approved adult leader who supervises club activities. Club members also
enroll in projects in their areas of interest.
With projects on more than 75 topics, 4-H has something to interest every child. Here are just a few of the opportunities 4-H offers—geocaching,
robotics, international exchanges, horsemanship, pets, starting a business, arts and crafts, raising animals, woodworking, photography and gardening.
Clover Kids introduces 5- to 7-year-olds to the 4-H experience. In Clover Kids, children
learn how to get along with others, work in groups, explore their interests, while building self-confidence. Clover Kids do not enroll in projects or
raise animals, and do not participate in competitive events, contests or shows.

29th August 2012, Posted in Things to do, Things to see
Described as the food and wine heartland of the country – Franschhoek is a mere 30 minutes' drive from Stellenbosch. Nestled between the mountains, lies the beautiful town with its French influence, brought by the Huguenots over 300 years ago. Between the award winning restaurants and the world class wine cellars, there is something to do for everyone and every budget. The main street is lined with craft shops, galleries and restaurants – ideal for a Sunday stroll. A place worth visiting is the Huguenot Fine Chocolatier, selling hand crafted Belgian chocolates. They offer a half hour program where guests to this chocolate wonderland can view demonstrations; learn about the history of Chocolate and most importunately, have a tasting.
The Franschhoek Motor Museum, another highlight especially for motor enthusiasts, gives visitors the chance to view motoring history dating back more than 100 years. The museum is comprised of an extraordinary collection of motorcycles, cars and bicycles. They even have a Limousine, made by Wolseley, from 1910!
A well know wine farm in the area is Vrede en Lust with daily wine tastings form 10am until 5pm. Their restaurant offers the Cotage Fromage Tasting Menu, especially created to offer their guests 6 small portions to pair with the carefully selected Vrede en Lust Wines. Rich in history, Vrede en Lust was established in 1688 by a French Huguenot Jacques de Savoye. Their logo also has rich history behind it – so remember to ask them when visiting.
The Bastille Day festival, held every July in Franschhoek, celebrates the towns' iconic French heritage. Festival goers dress up in red, blue and white and are treated to French inspired food, craft markets, good wine and the famous barrel-rolling contest. The highlight of the festival is the Food and Wine Marquee with live music, widely acclaimed chefs preparing mouth-watering dishes with Franschhoek's finest wines on offer.
But that is not all Franschhoek has to offer, take a stroll through one of the many walking trails, go for wine tasting on horseback, visit the monthly street market or sample locally made Franschhoek beer at Dieu Donnè, all while enjoying the picturesque sights of Franschhoek!

Has Apple Filed A Patent For Microsoft's Surface Smart Cover?
While the underlying technology that makes Touch Cover work is said to have been used in a much earlier MS keyboard and mouse, its innovation into the Surface's novel smart cover is evidently much more recent—and the design of the Touch Cover quite definitely is.
AppleInsider notes the U.S. Patent Office just revealed a patent application, number 13/208235 originally filed back on the 11th of August 2011, which may prove to be very controversial. It was filed by Apple and it covers a number of technological improvements to the iPad smart cover, such as a display that would be connected to the tablet via a set of contacts embedded in its clever magnetic hinge. One of the uses of this tech, Apple imagines, is to have an ultra-thin touch keyboard on the cover, and possibly to allow it to be used as a giant touch-sensitive trackpad, complete with stylus for accurate drawing.
Sound familiar? It's more or less exactly what Microsoft calls its Touch Cover, revealed alongside its Surface tablet, given almost as much limelight, and used to infer how much of a productivity tool the Surface will be for business users.
Here's the Touch Cover:
And here's the relevant image from Apple's patent application:
While the underlying technology that makes Touch Cover work is said to have been used in a much earlier MS keyboard and mouse, its innovation into the Surface's novel smart cover is evidently much more recent—and the design of the Touch Cover quite definitely is.
Which raises a very difficult question: What will happen if Apple, which can prove it came up with this idea some time ago, actually wins this patent? The question touches right at the heart of the problems surrounding the current patent model, and the issue of what constitutes technological innovation—both of which matters are threaded through the high-profile Samsung vs. Apple lawsuit that's currently underway.

Apple doesn't sue Microsoft because Apple exists because of Microsoft. MS still holds a 10% stake in Apple, and they have broad cross-licensing arrangements. Don't bite the hand that feeds you.
The thing to keep in mind is MS did not rip off a shipping product like SAMSUNG and Android in general. Therefore, I do not think Apple will get as revved up as it currently is with Android and SAMSUNG. Also, MS and Apple have some existing albeit bounded IP agreements between them.
My guess is Apple will not sue MS over this patent unless a future Apple product had substantial capabilities in this area before MS revealed them. Or to protect themselves against a suit by MS regarding some cover technologies it might reveal.
Also, it is my bet that MS has patents [not yet revealed] related to this that overlap with Apple.
Pretty much all of Apple's suits have been about shipping products that have been copied e.g., Windows95 and SAMSUNG Galaxy.
Remember when people naively imagined Apple as the good to Microsoft's evil.
Yeah, because protecting your intellectual property from slavish and shameless infringement is 'evil'. Apple is still the same Apple is always was, in terms of fundamentals. They have every right to protect their IP.
All companies are out to make a profit. Anyone who thinks a company that is in business for profit is either evil or good is a moron.
Apple are the "Adolf Hitler" of corporations, they are evil pure and simple.
Yeah, a computer/gadget company is 'pure evil', to be compared with a genocidal maniac. Who is 'pure evil' at Apple? The executives? CEO? Programmers? Designers? Mailmen? Apple store employees? Or do they transform into satan when combined into a unified entity?
Get out of your basement, stop custom screwing your Android phone and bashing Apple on messageboards, and get some fresh air.
Godwin in just six comments - well done sir
Nothing happens. Microsoft and Apple have a broad cross-licensing agreement. Ergo, no suing. They just use each others ideas in their own products.
Yay - the future of AAPL's patent trolling is looking good!
Do you know the definition of patent trolling? Because your statement implies you don't. Patent trolling is a term reserved for organizations that purchase patents with no intent to use them and every intention to sue anyone remotely infringing as to make as much money as possible. Does that sound like Apple? More to the point, would Apple create a very popular Smart Cover (for their own product no less) that already grosses $1 billion a year, then improve upon it for the sole purpose of suing Microsoft (before Microsoft even intimated they would be making one)? No. So who's really trolling? You.

All right lissen up, you food writers who are not bloggers. I'm about to tell you how having my a blog got the new edition of Will Write for Food reviewed on Epicurious.com, a massively popular website, then tweeted to around 50,000 people.
No, it didn't go like this: I wrote a new book, the publisher sent it to Epicurious as part of its regular mailing, and someone at Epicurious decided to review it. Life would be easier that way, but also duller.
Let's back up a little so I can tell you how it happened and how this affects you (always the critical part of any story).
First, I started this blog. Then I joined a Google Group called BayArea Food Bloggers, which sends an email around with messages (if you're local and want to subscribe, see this). Fast forward to July, when an email from a local blogger appeared on the listserv and began this way:
- "Epicurious at the Ferry Building July 20th, Stop by and say hi to editor Tanya Steel!
- Hi Everyone, Christina here from Farm and a Frying Pan. For my day job, I am the PR Manager at Epicurious, and next week kicks off our summer Farmers Market Tour with our first stop at the Ferry Building Farmers market on the 20th…"
A chance to meet the editor-in-chief of Epicurious! I was all over that, even though I didn't have a food blog and I wasn't going to interview her about produce and healthy eating. But I had a writing blog, so I had a place to publish our interview. After the interview I asked for Tanya Steel's card, something that takes nerve but I did it anyway.
Knowing she would never see the post unless I told her about it, I sent an email to Steel, providing the link. (Do you always do this, if you have a blog?) Days later, a response said, simply: "Thanks so much. Great to meet you." Just remember that she is exceedingly busy and, because she's a Brit, exceedingly good mannered.
In my email reply to her, I mentioned that I asked my publisher to send her a copy of my new book. I figured it couldn't hurt, since Epicurious probably receives dozens of new books every week. I didn't want mine to be lost in the shuffle.
And a few days later, this positive review appeared on Epicurious's daily Epi-Log. It began with a link to my website and then said my book "should be mandatory reading for everyone who aspires to be a food writer." After that came an Epicurious tweet to around 50,000 followers, with a link to the review. That's gold, baby!
Now, why am I telling you all this, and what does it mean for you? A few things:
1. If you are a traditional print author with a new book, you need a blog to take part in opportunities like this.
2. If you are not on Twitter, get with it. Right now. You never know who will pass on your tweets to their readers, potentially building your base of followers.
3. My launch has been so much more successful than the first edition, five years ago, because of my blog and the opportunities it provides for exposure. You never know who's reading you and who will pass you on to their blog and website readers either. Eater.com, The Food Section, and Publishers Weekly's Cooking the Books, for example, have picked up recent posts. I got on Martha Stewart Radio last Monday because the person who contacted me said she "heard it was out." Since I made the announcement on my blog and on Twitter, that's how she found out. To top it off, the home page of Martha Stewart Radio is selling my book. And blogger Stephanie Stiavetti has already done a giveaway on Wasabimon.
So that's my testament to using social media for a book launch. If you have any other tips, would love to hear them.
26 Responses to "How Blogging Got My Book Reviewed on Epicurious"
BRAVA! I would say as important as having a blog is getting out from behind your desk and meeting an editor IN PERSON. When I meet an editor in person and I send a pitch later, it gets a much better response then if I have never met the editor. Many bloggers think they don't have opportunities to meet editors, but if you go to every event you can, eventually you WILL meet editors.
Good for you Dianne! Social media can be so powerful…thanks for sharing your story.
Good article, thanks! And I just retweeted Epicurious's tweet on you book to my almost 4000 followers. This is how the world turns. Best…Susan
The post seems to imply a causal relationship between the review, and the blog post. I will be contrarian and say if you haven't made the individual effort to promote your book, it wouldn't have been reviewed, blog post or otherwise. Kudos to that, not so much the blogging.
As for the remainder of your 1330 Twitter followers, we have no book to be reviewed, and the blog will always be… just the blog.
Outstanding, Dianne. I was impressed with your launch 5 years ago! Your books are in great demand. Congrats, Pat
Way to go Dianne!
Do you think this successful launch was largely due to social media? Or to the fortuitous visit with Ms Steel?
Huge congrats and well-deserved too. Tried to get the book in the UK and US when I was there last month with no success. But I see it's now available so will have it sent to Singapore. Basically, get off my butt and re-start the blog eh?
BRAVO! Diane
I just added Will Write For Food to my Amzn widget.
Now all I need is an interview to move some books!
Fantastic! Just another of the many reasons why it's important to network.
Just a note to let you know I'm enjoying going through your archives. Also, I got your new book (after some resistance because I already had your old one) and it really opened my eyes to some things about my blog that needed improvement. Thanks so much.
Hi Dianne, I am interested in checking out BayArea Food Bloggers (I'm in Petaluma) but the link you provided just goes to a generic help page. I have searched within Google Groups (with and without a space between bay and area) but no luck. Do you have a more direct link?
Dianne, your post just reinforced why a yet unpublished Grandma Moses author whose mantra is "Will Write for Love" is stepping out in the digital world, and loving it.
thanks for your helpful tips on promotion.
Your link was given to me by Romney "Nani" Steele who has published a beauty of a book called "My Nepenthe". Have your read it??? got to.
Best wishes, Mary

Apple has announced a new Apple TV device, capable of supporting resolutions of up to 1080p and featuring a sleek new UI
Well, we definitely saw this one coming. Apple has announced a new Apple TV at this evening's press conference, where the main event was the unveiling of the brand new Apple iPad 3.
The new device supports 1080p videos, and features a new streamlined user interface that makes accessing all your music, movies and photos a mere doddle. Apple TV users now have access to 15,000 movies and 90,000 TV shows via iTunes, as well as being able to tap into the wide-ranging catalogues of third party services such as Netflix and Vimeo.
As for the UI itself, it is all now displayed in full 1080p resolution. As for controlling it? Selecting the media of your choice is as simple as it ever was. To return to the home screen, you simply hold down the home button, whilst a quick tap brings up a pop-up shortcut menu. Simple but very effective.
said Philip Schiller, Apple's senior vice president of Worldwide Marketing said, "People are going to love streaming movies and TV shows in 1080p with the new Apple TV, and photos look beautiful displayed at the maximum resolution of your TV,
"Apple TV is easier than ever to use with its new icon-based interface and the ability to access your purchased movies, TV shows and music right from iCloud."
The new Apple TV goes on sale March 16th at a price of $99.
Apple also took the time to announce some of their key figures to those journalists lucky enough to have recieved an invite. iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch have sold a combined 315 million units in the last year alone. Many of these new users have contributed to the iCloud, which now has 100 million users, and to iTunes, which has hosted over 25 billion app downloads.
Are you excited about the additions to Apple TV? Does the idea of downloading and streaming 1080p video loosen your purse strings? Whatever your opinion, we want to hear it! Let us know what you think via the comments box below, or head on over to our Facebook and Twitter pages to make yourself heard.

Kampala — DEFENCE minister Dr. Crispus Kiyonga has asked army officers to desist from land grabbing.
He said the act would alienate the people from the Government.
Citing Col. John Mugyenyi and Maj. Gen. Jim Owoyesigire of the Air force, the minister asked the army leaders to investigate cases of land grabbed by army officers.
Kiyonga was on Wednesday speaking at the second annual general meeting for Wazalendo Credit and Savings Cooperative Society, at the Junior Officers College at Gadaffi Barracks in Jinja.
"Soldiers were accused of evicting people. This is betrayal. The land situation is spoiling our relationship with the population," he said.
"Comrades, if we don't handle this issue carefully, it will be a big problem. We came to government through a revolution. Our revolution is to transform the people. The urge to get rich quickly is dangerous for the revolution."
Kiyonga asked the commander of the Land Forces, Lt. Gen. Katumba Wamala, to take up the matter.
"We need to sort out these issues. Our comrades like Mugyenyi, are evicting people. Jim of the Airforce has too much land in Masindi and is fighting the church.
"Mugyenyi should know that he is a beneficiary of the revolution and he can not spoil it. What does a soldier want with 300 acres of land when other people have nothing? This matter should be addressed urgently," the minister said, adding that army officers should acquire land peacefully.
He urged the soldiers to embrace SACCOs to improve their standards of living.
The Government would improve the soldiers' salaries, Kiyonga added.
He denied allegations that the Government had killed the cooperative movement, arguing that the Government had instead reformed the cooperatives.
"In the old cooperatives, the beneficiaries were only the secretary generals and the managers of the cooperative movements, but now it is individuals on the ground."
Kiyonga urged the soldiers to avoid corruption and contracting HIV/AIDS. "We must keep alive. Dying in the battle field cannot be resisted, but dying of controllable diseases can be.
"Even if you were, there are ARVs to keep you and the revolution alive."
Katumba urged soldiers to embrace saving. "Financial discipline is the key to success. Don't spend on unnecessary items."
The manager of Uganda Credit and Savings Union, Wilson Kabando, said the Ministry of Finance should come up with a law managing SACCOs.
SACCOs are being run under the cooperatives law.

Website of the day: CC: Jokes
Where do jokes comes from? Most of us will have a mate who is a reliable source, but the chances are that they didn't actually write them - they come from somewhere else.
The one liners, the rude ones, the "a guy walks into a bar" ones - they all start out as a few scribbled lines on a page, but where that page sits usually remains a mystery.
But, we're fairly sure of one thing: we know where a lot of them now go. They end up at jokes.cc.com. And thank goodness for that.
This online offshoot of TV channel Comedy Central, is a brilliant depository of amusement.
People can submit their favourites, regardless of where they found them, and they are all handily categorised by type or theme, making finding jokes for any occasion a walk in the park.
We're no closer to finding who actually writes all the best jokes, but at least we now know where a hell of a lot of them are stored.
