problem with external monitors
Hi folks! I am a first time mac user after a lifetime with Windows. Was sold after using Iphone 3Gs. So got a MBP 17" model about 2 months ago, with Snow Leopard. Love the lap top, HOWEVER.. I have two external monitors, One, at Lacie 526, brand new, with an adaptor for DVI cable, and in another environment, and Monitor with an adaptor for a VGI cable. They both do the same thing.. when I turn the computer on.. both the Mac and external monitor screens, blink on and off THREE times, then stays on.. each time I use either monitor it does this, on and off 3 times.. THEN.. periodically it will blink again.. often when I move my mouse from one monitor to another. Recently, on the VGI monitor, and it blinks on and off even when not going from one screen to the other. Can't be the environment or monitors since it does the same thing with two different monitors and cables, and it is not the computer.. I brought into the store and they ran various diagnostics and says the MBP checks out perfectly and runs with MAC external monitors with no hitch. What's up?? firmware issues with new video input for MBP??
I'm a little confused. Do you have both monitors connected to your MacBook Pro at the same time (which is usually not possible)...or are you saying that these two external monitors are in different locations (you keep saying "environment" which is confusing)...such as different rooms or one at home & one at work?
- Nick
thanks for responding!
sorry about that.. different monitors in two different environments. one at work (VGI cable monitor) and one a home (DVI cable monitor). so using two different adaptors, two different settings, same result.
First thing I would check is to make sure the connectors are seated tightly enough.
They are going to blink when first connected, while the computer "finds" and recognizes the display, but if the cables aren't seated tightly enough, they can come loose slightly and then go back into place... causing the computer to "find" the external display again.
checked many times as there was not much else I knew to do.. they are tight.. and again.. it would been amazingly coincidental if that is the case since it is exhibiting the same behavior with TWO different monitors in two different settings.. both connectors would then have to be lose?? I really think the problem MUST be with the computer, given that the behavior is happening with two different sets of hardware, and given that the laptop itself was checked and works with Apple monitors, it must be the interface between the Mac and NON-Mac external monitors.. and not just ONE external monitor since it does the same with two different ones. Actually, given that, I am bit surprised that I am not hearing this problem being broadcast all over the place??!!
1. There is something unique or unusual to your situation that is causing this.
2. It's not really a big deal to other users.
- Nick
I can't imagine this would not be a big deal.. it's not just the 3 times it takes when starting up, but then it will do it on occasion when going from one monitor to the other.. and clicking on the other monitor.
Hmmm.. since it happens with two different sets of hardware in two different locations, it's almost gotta be with the new graphics connection. My engineer friend from THX said that her was amazed how small the new graphics connector is.. and has to handle different pin configurations for both DVI and GCI. I think this connector.. vision port?? is new to the MBP..or IMMAC, so perhaps the glitch hasn't come out yet enough?? I don't know, I'm not very technical and I am NEW to Macs.
But problem is significant and doesn't seem to be unique to my set up. I am not that fussy, and this is a real annoyance.. can't be ignored if you use an external monitor regularly.
Your MBP is equipped with a mini display port output for video. If you're using the correct adapter (mini display port to DVI or VGA) which is required for whatever monitor you're using whether at the office or home, it should work.
As was pointed out, you may get a momentary blink of the monitor when attached (if it's turned on at the time) but only briefly not two or three times.
Constantly removing and attaching an external monitor via the adapter cable(s) is going to lead to the wearing out or bending of the very small pin connectors. If that's what you're doing, you could have already damaged the adapter or connector.
Suggest you first try a new cable and or adapter to see if that clears up the blinking. If that doesn't help, make an appointment with your local Apple store genius to have the machine looked at.
In other words...if you keep the same external monitor connected to your MBP...then restart or shutdown the MBP...and then restart it...does this 3x display issue reoccur?
I'm being very specific here about the sequence of events. Because you have two different external monitors, and because it sounds like you are constantly switching between these 2 external monitors (home & work). This may be a "syncing step" that the MBP must do to "communicate" properly with each monitor when it is first connected or reconnected.
So do an experiment where you are now...restart your MBP (with the external monitor connected)...and when the computer restarts, does this 3x display thing occur?
- Nick
WOW!!! Nick, that worked!! I shut down the computer with the monitor still connected, then opened it up with it connected and problem solved!! No flickering on and off AT ALL, even ONCE! and no flickering afterwards either so far!
No one has come close to solving the problem, not Mac Medic (local bay area authorized Mac repair experts), not Apple, not my THX engineer friend, or two computer consultants. (Chscag from the previous post... no i haven't damaged my connectors, i'm very careful, computer is less than month old, yet i still had the computer checked thoroughly, and both connectors exhibited the same behaviors.. so couldn't be that).
So, other than understanding what you know and others don't, what do i do NOW?? Your solution resolves when I shut down and open up the SAME external monitor. What about when I am going to shut down and open up to the OTHER monitor. I suppose I should plug in the other monitor before I turn on the MBP, but when I shut down the first monitor, should I keep it plugged in or unplug it before shutting down!!??
Thanks again for coming up with at working solution!
One thing that chscag did say that DOES bother me... I am aware of connector issues, constantly plug in and out. Some connections are not so sensitive.. usb, audio, power and even the mini display port are solid connections that won't wear out too easily. Connectors less pin sensitive like the days of parallel and serial connections, where bent or broking pins were common. But the Firewire 800 connection to my external hard disk does appear to be delicate. But what can you do? I have a LAPTOP and I leave everyday and plug back in every nite! For the life of me, I do not understand why Apple did not common out with a docking station or port replicator for their high end lap tops! I plug in with 5 connections.. and that's reduced from 8 connections that's reduced because I have a USB hub! The one third-party docking station has not gotten good reviews from what I've seen and as a first time buyer of a Mac.. i am amazed at the quality of the lap top and design.. I've fallen in love with my new toys.. iPHone 3GS and MBP 17' antiglare, but can't understand that ommission.
Congrats on finding a solution...and knowing that you probably don't have any hardware problems.
As to your question about the other monitor...firstly you could run the same "experiment"...and I'm going to guess you will get the same positive results.
Here is most likely the explanation that I posted earlier:
"Because you have two different external monitors, and because it sounds like you are constantly switching between these 2 external monitors (home & work). This (blinking) may be a "syncing step" that the MBP must do to "communicate" properly with each monitor when it is first connected or reconnected."
If you were only using one external monitor...or if both of your external monitors (home & work) were exactly the same make & model...you might not experience this "blinking"...but because you are using two different external monitors, your laptop needs to initially establish how to communicate with the monitor...that's why you get the blinking the first time you connect...but then everything is ok.
One further complication is that you are using two different adapters to attach these monitors to your laptop. With your one monitor you said that you are using a "VGA adapter", and with the other monitor you're using a "DVI adapter".
In the end...I think that everything is fine with all of your hardware (laptop & both monitors)...it's just the frequent switching between the two different external monitors (with the different adapters) initially requires your laptop to "establish communication" with the external monitor causing the "blinking".
I hope this helps,
- Nick
Docking Station for 17" Apple Unibody Laptop - New Products! by Olympic Controls Corp./ BookEndz
...it's pretty darn expensive, but it is a solution.
Hope this helps,
- Nick
Thanks.. still not sure whether I should unplug before shutting down when I am going to switch to new monitor, then putting new monitor in before turning on but now I have a solution that I can fine tune, thanks again, working beautifully, problem solved!
Bookenz docking station looks very solid. Small dog electronics sells it for $30 less at $289. thanks!
By the way...I think that it's generally good to shut down (or at least "sleep") your computer before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices...except USB related items...they're supposed to be "hot swappable".
If you decide to get the dock, maybe you could stop back in after you've used it a while, and give a short review.
Good luck,

Emilie Burger was 3-under through three holes on Thursday.
May 9, 2013
STANFORD, Calif. --- Paced by a 3-under 68 by Emilie Burger, the No. 18-ranked Georgia women's golf team posted a 12-over 296 in Thursday's opening round of the NCAA West Regional. The Bulldogs are tied for sixth in the 24-team field at the Stanford University Golf Course.
Burger is second individually and just one shot off the pace of Southern Cal's Annie Park, who shot 4-under 68. The Bulldogs are seven shots behind early leader of No. 7 Vanderbilt, which shot 289.
The 54-hole tournament continues through Saturday. The top eight teams and the top two individuals not among those squads will advance to the NCAA Championships at the University of Georgia Golf Course on May 21-24.
"This golf course is really hard and you're going to make a few mistakes out there," head coach Josh Brewer said. "We played a lot of great golf today but unfortunately we made some mistakes late in the round. We came out here trying to compete for a top spot and that's what I expect us to do. We'll clean up a few things and correct those over the next few days."
Georgia teed off from No. 10 and played the back side of the course first on Friday.
In addition to Burger's 69, the Bulldogs also counted a 75 from Manuela Carbajo Ré, a 76 from Amira Alexander and a 77 from Kailey Walsh, while dropping Rocio Sanchez Lobato's 78. Overall, Carbajo Ré is tied for 46th, Alexander is tied for 63rd, Walsh is tied for 69th and Sanchez Lobato is tied for 77th.
Burger blistered the course early, with a trio of birdies to move to 3-under through three holes.
"This is an intimidating golf course," Burger said. "I decided yesterday that I had to pick targets and aim for those targets. You have to have a lot of trust in the targets you pick, and I decided that was what I was going to do all day today. On No. 10, I hit it within six feet and made my birdie putt. On No. 11, I picked a good target, hit it within 10 feet and made that putt. On 12, I was within six feet and was able to make birdie there also."
Burger moved to 4-under at the turn with a birdie at No. 18 and dropped further into red numbers with a birdie at No. 2. She posted her first bogey of the day at No. 3 but gained that stroke back with a sixth birdie at No. 6. She closed with a double-bogey at No. 9 to finish at 3-under.
"Emilie turned in a huge round of golf for us," Brewer said. "That's what your senior leader is supposed to do. Everyone else was struggling a bit and she picked everyone up. She's been practicing and playing very well over the last month so I was not surprised at all that she played so well. I expect her to continue to lead us over the next couple of days."
The Commodores own a one-shot lead over top-ranked Southern Cal. Fifteen teams are within a dozen shots of Vanderbilt. Following the Women of Troy are No. 12 Purdue at 291; Oregon at 292; No. 19 Baylor at 295; the Bulldogs and South Carolina at 296; Cal at 297; Denver at 299; No. 24 Texas A&M and No. 6 Arizona at 300; and LSU, No. 14 Stanford, San Jose State and Ohio State all at 301.
Tee times will flip on Friday, with the top-12 seeds playing in the afternoon wave. Georgia will again be paired with Stanford and Purdue, teeing off from No. 1 beginning at 3:56 p.m. ET.

The Urban Think Tank Institute in their words:
"Urban Think Tank Institute is a nonpartisan, community-based home for a body of thinkers in the Hip Hop generation. It is the first organization that analyzes and frames political, economic and cultural issues, particularly those of concern to people of color, from the perspective of the Hip Hop generation. Urban Think Tank, Inc. uses a multi-media strategy to encourage an open dialogue on subject matters and to influence public policy changes." -- UrbanThinkTank.org
Our Take on the Urban Think Tank Institute:
Urban Think Tank provides an outlet for intellectual activists. The organization is a forum of expression, thought, and debate, meant to facilitate discussions about public policy and social issues that effect people of color. Though its publications of articles and position papers in Doula: The Journal of Rap Music and Hip Hop Culture, Urban Think Tank provides intellectuals with a place to express their ideas. The organization also participates in panels, meetings, and workshops to further promote a dialogue focused on urban issues.
What place does Urban Think Tank's intellectual forum have in the world of activism? As Robin Kelley addresses in his book Freedom Dreams, "the map to the new world is in the imagination." Urban Think Tank provides the necessary outlet for activists to throw around ideas--to learn and build upon each other. Its role is that of a brainstorm session. The organization is a forum for "emancipated thought" that births new social concepts and movements.
A major focus of the Urban Think Tank is engaging the political thought of young people through Hip-Hop. Through speaking engagements and social events, the Urban Think Tank Institute unlocks the ideas in their numerous position papers and channels them into the minds of young people.

On Tuesday, August 20, the 38-year-old singer attended the LA premiere of Scenic Route, a new drama-thriller starring her hubby, Josh Duhamel.
Fergie looked the epitome of rockstar chic as she walked the red carpet in a spiked leather jacket and Roberto Cavalli flared leather pants. A snake-print scarf tied around her waist further emphasized her eight-month bump.
Stopping to pose alongside his glowing wife, Josh praised Fergie for being "a champion" throughout her pregnancy.

For this week's Macro Anatomy, I thought I'd share a fun little fishing macro I found in the forums. Tomza wrote a great macro for those of us wanting to react quickly to enemy players while fishing. I've altered it a bit, as I prefer to use the SHIFT modifier rather than the ALT, but other than that it's pretty much verbatim.
This macro, when clicked will equip your fishing pole if it is not already equipped. If a fishing pole is equipped, it will cast your line. (Two clicks of this macro will equip a pole and cast.) Each subsequent click will cast your line. If you hold down the modifier key (in this case the SHIFT key), you will equip your weapon.
Keep reading for the macro, it's a fun one!
Let's get down to business and get you out there fishing! Here is the macro:
/equip [noequipped: Fishing Pole,nomod:shift] Fishing Pole;
/equip [mod:shift] Crescent Staff
/cast [equipped:Fishing Pole,nomod:shift] Fishing;
You'll want to switch out Crescent Staff with your own weapon name, and the item name of your fishing pole. If you have two weapons or a weapon and a shield, just add another line of /equip <weapon or shield name>. That way it will equip both in the case of dual-wielding or shield-bearers.
There you have it, an easy macro to swap weapons and fishing poles, and casts your line to boot! Have fun doing your fishing dailies with a little more peace of mind!

This is starting to become my favorite lipstick! I love the way it looks with my fair skin (I should point out I have pink undertones), blonde hair and green eyes - I think it suits me well. At first when I bought this I was kind of on the fence because it wasn't quite the color I thought it would look like on me (I had seen swatches online, and it always looked lighter on other people, probably because they had darker skin tones than me), but I've grown to love it. I like using when I need a nice subtle pop of color on my face without looking too overdone. I also think this would look awesome on all skin tones. I've had it for about 3 months and I'm like a third finished the tube. Will definitely repurchase!
Also, I might add, although this is a matte finish, I don't find it that drying on me at all.

The color is beautiful, it gives a very soft feminine look, perfect for an everyday lipstick. However, it doesn't last! And I hate how it makes me look like i have cracked lips although i don't, I've tried wearing a lip-balm before applying it, it still didn't help. And after a couple of hours, it leaves clumps on my lips making it look dirty and dry :( The only thing you could do is to use your fingers after applying it on your lips and slowly dap, and reapply after a couple of hours after wiping it off.

My friend recommended this color on me & I have tanned skin w/ a yellow-golden undertone. The colour is okay, it's nothing special on my lips & it would probably look really good w/ a gloss on top however my issue w/ this product is the longevity. It doesn't stay on & I find that i can't apply another coat on top of my initial one as it makes my lips appear cracked. I have even tried wearing Sugar lip balm in "fresh" under but it stikl doesn't last long & eventually the lipstick clumps together giving me the appearance of dry lips.

This is my absoulte favorite lipstick! It is the perfect pink on my skintone and has a matte finish which I like and can always wear a gloss over top if I wanted. It is very pigmented so a little goes a long way. When I first purchased about a year ago, I was actually looking for another LE that was sold out and the MUA showed me this one which was what I was looking for. It gives you that barbie doll look without looking too fake! Absolutely love with neutral or smokey eyes! Will continue to purchase as long as they keep making this color!

I'm in the minority here and am not into this lipstick. I have olive-tan skin with black eyes, brown hair. I love the color itself but on my pigmented lips, it's just so "snooki" on me. I added "subculture" liner at an attempt to make it look alright but it just doesn't work on me. My lips are too pouty like Lana del rey and am not feeling it. Fanfare, Angel, and Viva Glam Nicki are much more better on my lips. Pretty pink color but not on me, unfortunately.

I realy like the colour of this lipstick. On me it comes out as peachy pink more than a pink. I had never owned a mat lipstick before as I tend to get dry/ cracked lips. However I usually put on a little of Mac's tinted lip conditioner on before I apply this. This usually makes the application a lot smoother and it tends to last a little longer. I like wearing colourful lipsticks every day but I can see this working for those who like a subtle colour every day. The only downside to this product is the drying effect it hs on lips. It also tends to settle into the creases if I don't wear lip balm under it.

Mulled Wine & Baked Brie make it all Merry & Bright
This weekend is predicted to be cold and rainy…ugh! However, this makes for the perfect time to decorate your house, address holiday cards and wrap presents. At the thought of all this "work," visions of warm cocktails appeared in my head…and what did I find but Mulled Wine & Baked Brie recipes bookmarked to try. Now that makes it all Merry & Bright!
Here is the Mulled Wine recipe I am going to try:
4 cups apple cider
1 bottle cabernet sauvignon
1 tbs honey
3 cinnamon sticks, and 1 to garnish each glass
1 orange, juiced
4 whole cloves
2 oranges, sliced thinly, for garnish
In a large saucepan, mix the cider, wine, honey, orange juice, cinnamon sticks, & cloves. Bring to a boil, then turn the heat down to simmer for 10 minutes. Scoop out the cloves & cinnamon sticks. Pour into glasses garnished with cinnamon sticks and and orange slices.
(image and recipe found here)
Don't you think that this Baked Brie recipe with dried cherries and almonds would be the perfect holiday accompaniment to the mulled wine? I do! A girlfriend brought it to "friends giving" a few weeks ago and it was devoured in minutes!
{note- you can get all these ingredients at Trader Joes}
1 (7 to 8-inch) wheel brie cheese
1/4 cup dried cherries
1/4 cup sliced toasted almonds
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 sheets (12 by 18-inch) puff pastry
2 eggs, beaten
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
Cut the wheel of brie in half horizontally and separate the top half of the wheel from the bottom half. Sprinkle the bottom half of the brie with the dried cherries, toasted almonds, and brown sugar. Replace the top half of the brie and apply pressure to secure the stuffing.
Working on a well-floured surface, roll out the puff pastry so that it will fully cover the brie. Place the brie in the middle of the puff pastry and fold the excess pastry around the wheel. Put the wheel aside. Roll out another piece of puff pastry and cut out a circle the same circumference as the top of the brie.
Using a pastry brush, brush the egg on top of the brie in the puff pastry and place the circle on top. Brush the top of the circle with egg. Brush the entire top side of the brie with the egg and place the brie on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 20 to 30 minutes or until the pastry begins to turn golden brown, then turn the temperature down to 325 degrees F and bake for another 20 minutes.

I was just on a conference call where Governor Martin O'Malley (D-MD) was asked whether he thought Republican governors might opt out of the Medicaid expansion in light of the Supreme Court's ACA ruling yesterday. He replied, "I don't know. Some of our colleagues would like to get out of being members of the Union." I think that's the right way to look at it. These are an ideologically extreme set of characters, and they're not going to go quietly, meekly accepting funds that expands health care for poor people. That goes against their worldview.
O'Malley did take the persistent view, on three separate occasions, that states which fail to implement that and other elements of Obamacare will find themselves at a competitive disadvantage. Touting Maryland as an "early implementer, O'Malley said that "We believe that covering our people, bringing down health costs long-term, that makes our states more competitive." He in particular singled out potential Romney VP picks Bobby Jindal and Bob McDonnell, his gubernatorial counterpart in neighboring Virginia. In a memorable line, he said that McDonnell has problems with his legislature in Virginia, because "the only health care mandate they can embrace is trans vaginal ultrasounds for women."
Again, this is the mentality. It's not logical or rational in the short term. But it's pretty clear that will be their perspective. Especially because those who would be left on the other side of the divide, in the event of rejecting the Medicaid expansion, would so clearly be on the side of the "other":
For people of color, the impact of the mess that the court just rolled down Pennsylvania Avenue and out into the country cannot be understated. Blacks, Latinos and Asians are up to three times less likely to have insurance than whites. Half of the nation's uninsured are people of color.
The Center for American Progress estimates that this racial gap in health care coverage costs the country $415 billion a year in lost productivity.
For black and brown America, affordable, quality healthcare is key to closing a wider economic gulf […]
Medicaid is a mitigating force in this lopsided system. Blacks and Latinos are enrolled in Medicaid at twice the rate of whites. Half of those in the program are children. As the Kaiser Family Foundation has bluntly concluded, "Medicaid enables Black and Hispanic Americans to access health care."
The recession has made this more true than ever. Three out of four people who lose their job, also lose their insurance. As a result, the number of people in Medicaid has soared to 60 million.
That final fact will be used as proof by Republican governors that we cannot expand Medicaid any more. It's single-payer health care, after all. It's the road to serfdom. And the beneficiaries are those dreaded minorities, who by the way don't really vote at the same rates as "real Americans," either.
I just don't see this crop of Republican governors, for the most part, accepting expansion funds. And that's bad news for black and brown America.

Recent News Articles on Giuliani's Papers
NState official says contract over Giuliani records is
inconsistent with the law
by Diego Ibarguen
Associated Press Writer
February 14, 2002, 3:03 AM EST
NEW YORK -- The public may be able to view records from former mayor Rudolph
Giuliani's administration, including documents related to the World Trade Center
attack, without getting Giuliani's approval.
The state's top Freedom of Information official said Wednesday that Giuliani does
not have the right to determine which mayoral records can be made public.
Robert Freeman, director of the state's Committee on Open Government, said a city
agreement governing Giuliani's records contains sections that are "inconsistent
with the Freedom of Information Law and the interpretation of that statute."
By the terms of the agreement -- signed Dec. 24, just days before Giuliani left
office -- records related to his administration were handed over to the Rudolph
W. Giuliani Center for Urban Affairs, a new organization run by colleagues of the
The agreement also gives the former mayor the right to determine what documents
can be made public -- a provision Freeman found inconsistent with state law.
The records in in question include a wide variety of information from Giuliani's
office and those of his chief of staff, deputy mayors and their chiefs of staff.
The Associated Press had requested Freeman review the agreement and issue an advisory opinion.
"From my perspective, since the documents are city records, and since all city
records are subject to public access conferred upon the public by the Freedom of
Information Law, the former mayor has no `right' to determine which documents are
accessible to the public," Freeman said.
"On the contrary, the law serves as the basis for determining rights of access."
Freeman also questioned the validity of a term in the contract stating that the
center's intent is to ultimately make the documents available for "research and
study purposes."
"It has been held that when records are accessible under (the Freedom of
Information Law) they are equally available to any person, regardless of status
or interest," Freeman said.
The agreement with the Giuliani Center asserts that ownership of the documents
remains with the city and says the center will comply with the Freedom of
Information Law and other disclosure statutes.
But the agreement also says whenever Giuliani "has a personal interest or right
in a document separate and apart from the interests and rights of the city, his
approval shall be required before any document may be released."
It gives the center discretion to determine whether a document is public.
Saul Cohen, president of the Giuliani Center, said he had not seen Freeman's
opinion. He said the agreement allows the city to decide what is made public, not
the center.
The agreement sparked controversy when it was first reported last month. City
Comptroller William Thompson has launched an audit of the agreement, and Public
Advocate Betsy Gotbaum has asked for it to be reviewed, noting that it may
violate the City Charter.
Freeman said the city "could terminate the agreement or renegotiate to ensure
that its terms are fully consistent with the law." He also suggested the
agreement could be challenged in court and sections invalidated.
Michael Cardozo, the city's corporation counsel, had yet to receive a copy of the
opinion and had no immediate comment.

Matt Preston's bucket list
From sleepy Spanish towns to charming country retreats and extravagant three-star restaurants, Matt Preston picks the hottest culinary destinations to visit around the world.
There are so many great places to eat and such little time to do it in. This honour roll promises amazing food and memories for the next 10 years. Tuck in now and start ticking off your own list of unmissable foodie experiences.
1. The first restaurants were in Paris and were famed for their glamour - and so it is today. Everyone should visit a Parisian three-star at least once. Choose somewhere that's as overwrought as a rococo chocolate box and as full of waiters as an off-Broadway show. Pick from Les Ambassadeurs, L'Ambroisie, Guy Savoy or Alain Ducasse au Plaza Athénée. As an antidote to the pomp, Le Chateaubriand takes the bistro into the 21st century (at about a tenth of the cost).
2. Long, languid lunches in idyllic rural surroundings have to be on the list. There are many fine places to choose fcapirom - Michel Bras' restaurant in Laguiole, Thomas Keller's French Laundry in the Napa Valley or Magnus Nilsson's Faviken in northern Sweden are all great picks. Even Skye Gyngell's Petersham Nurseries just outside London would work for me!
3. Noma is a must for three reasons: it's the number one restaurant in the world, it's in Copenhagen - the tal of cool - and influential chef René Redzepi's love of foraging for wild ingredients and his Scandinavian terroir make him a huge force for change in international cuisine.
4. Certain towns just have it when it comes to food. San Sebastian is one of those. World-renowned modern restaurants Arzak and Mugaritz could make it onto any bucket list, but then San Sebastian could make up a bucket list of its own, with fish restaurants on the quayside at Getaria, a tapas crawl in the Old Town or drinking the local sloe gin, pacharan, in the elegant town square.
5. Modena isn't just about balsamic, it's also home to two of Italy's best, yet radically different, restaurants. Enjoy lunch in Hosteria Giusti at the back of an ancient deli - perhaps fresh tagliatelle or suckling pig. For dinner, after an aperitivo in one of the city's sexy little bars, visit Osteria Francescana, Italy's current number one. It's here that chef Massimo Bottura creates conceptual dishes that are as intellectually engaging as they are heavenly. No wonder his place is ranked fourth best restaurant in the world.
6. The three brothers who run El Celler de Can Roca in the small Spanish town of Girona between Barcelona and the French border can be relied upon to serve up plate-licking deliciousness and novel ideas in equal quantities. A dish of almonds, cherries and eel paired with a bottle of pinot-like Fleurie here still rates as one of the most amazing things I've ever tasted.
7. Yum cha has to be on the list and Hong Kong has to be the place. The pork buns in the world's only grungy one-Michelin-star restaurant make Tim Ho Wan the place to go. Short and crumbly crust, rich smoky pork filling and a glaze of sugar and lard. My mouth is watering just at the thought! Everyone I've sent there raves about it, with one correspondent describing these buns as a wonder to rival the pyramids of Giza.
8. Equally as widely praised are David Chang's pork buns at Momofuku Ssäm Bar in New York, where slightly sticky steamed buns hide hoisin-slathered pork. The slow-roasted pork rolled in butter lettuce with oysters and a kimchi pickle sauce is equally worth the pilgrimage to the States.
9. Alex Atala has done for Brazil's culinary self-confidence what René Redzepi has done for Scandinavia's, but Alex's menu at D.O.M. is loaded with elegantly expressed dishes championing seldom seen indigenous Brazilian ingredients. Like Massimo Bottura, he's seen a meteoric rise and is another of the great thinkers about food - whether from Brazil or around the world.
10. I wanted to include a German festival celebrating the sausage, but in the absence of finding anything suitably 'wurthy', Slow Food's biannual Salone del Gusto in Turin will have to suffice as a chance to see a range of artisan charcuterie skills in action.
11. Steak is close to a religion in Argentina. The grass-fed cattle raised on the fertile Pampas plains reach their apotheosis on the metal parilla grills at casual neighbourhood joints such as El Pobre Luis or at the more touristy El Desnivel in San Telmo. Wash the red meat down with a bottle of local malbec.
12. Heston Blumenthal has a sparkling showman's mind and every time I've eaten at The Fat Duck in Bray outside London, I've loved the sheer theatre of so many of the dishes. Stay at Michel Roux's wonderful boutique The Waterside Inn for the other side of the three-star coin - classic, modern French fare - and lunch the next day on a venison cheeseburger at Heston Blumenthal's pub, The Hinds Head. This is the best lunch-dinner-lunch combination in one village in the world!
13. Digging into a fat slice of intense Chocolate Nemesis at The River Cafe by the Thames in London and raising a glass of vin santo to the memory of wonderful co-founder Rose Gray, who inspired the likes of Jamie Oliver, is a very personal inclusion on my list.
14. Forget shark fin, China offers so many more unique and acceptable foods, from Yunnan ham and Peking duck to the 21-fold Goubuli dumplings of Tianjin. Thoughts of eating zhangcha (tea-smoked) duck in ge bao (butterfly buns) in Chengdu excite me most. Especially if chef Yu Bo at Yu's Family Kitchen makes them.
15. There's nothing more wonderful than a white truffle - the funky fungi fragrance is heady and the musky flavour unmatched when fresh from the earth. The Italian town Alba holds the greatest market for them during their annual truffle festival each October, where you can buy and try these dirty gems.
16. Step aside Vegemite and Port Lincoln bluefin tuna, our greatest culinary export is arguably David Thompson. Pay homage at his restaurant Nahm in the Metropolitan Bangkok, then enjoy street eats in the Or Tor Kor market, from a true green curry or something as prosaic as warm banana roti with sticky condensed milk.
17. The pomp of a five-star high tea should be something that everyone 'takes' at least once, perhaps in a suitably gilded location, such as Hôtel Plaza Athénée in New York, or at The Ritz or The Berkeley in London.
18. A visit to a simple Normandy brasserie, such as Les Vapeurs in Trouville, for a cheese board loaded with local fromage - pungent Pont l'Evêque and Livarot, and an oozy, creamy camembert like the one that apparently inspired Dali to paint The Persistence of Memory - is a must. Besides cheese, load up on the other great Cs of Normandy: cider, Calvados, cream and crevettes grises (prawns).
19. Singapore's fastest rising culinary star is André Chiang. His Restaurant André may only be a year old, but it's already an essential stop. His menu is a harmony of eight themes: the purity of an unseasoned flavour, sea salt, artisan heritage produce from around the world, textures, terroir, memory, unique ingredients and the south of France.
20. Japanese culinary philosophy underpins so much of modern restaurant thinking that any bucket list must include a trip to Kyoto to eat at a kaiseki (degustation) restaurant, where the environment is as studied as the food. Load the credit card and try Yoshihiro Murata's Kikunoi or Mizai. In Tokyo, there are few places more understated than Jun Yukimura's tiny three-star Azabu Yukimura, which has less seats than a city-bound tram at 8.30am. The simplicity of the food is reflected in an impeccable sashimi of snapper dressed with little more than shaved bottarga.
Any room for more?
My food-loving friends on Twitter and I have a few additions to share that should also make it onto your bucket list.
A sashimi breakfast at Tsukiji fish market in Tokyo is a vital experience, as is eating oysters straight from the water at Hog Island in California or more locally at Freycinet, Bruny Island or Coffin Bay. Bluff oysters from New Zealand or from any Brittany bed also make the list. As does a meal of just-caught fish in a Greek taverna on Vathi.
Rabbits, rice and beans are to be found in traditional paella in Valencia - a mandatory inclusion. Also, a properly layered and baked Indian biryani from places such as Paradise or Bawarchi in Hyderabad. For carnivores, slurping up the bone marrow at Fergus Henderson's St. John in London and pho on the streets of Ho Chi Minh City make the cut. As does the original carpaccio and a classic Bellini cocktail at Harry's Bar in Venice. For suckling pig, head to Segovia in Spain, Cebu in the Philippines or a Balinese warung. Enjoy a pulled-lamb sandwich in Marrakech made with meat straight from the blazing underground fire pit or succulent skewers of yakitori in a smoky Tokyo joint under the railway line between Shimbashi and Yurakucho.
Street food specialties include a hot dog at famous Pink's in Los Angeles or Gray's Papaya in NYC, the charcoal grilled kebabs in Bombay's Bade Miya, a bowl of bun ca (noodle soup) from a market stall in Hanoi or hot chips served with gravy and curry sauce in Scotland or slathered with mayo and satay sauce from a street cart in Amsterdam. Alternatively, enjoy your chips with a big bowl of moules (mussels) in a Belgian seaside town or paired in the classic Aussie way with fish and consumed on the pier at Hobart or Mornington or on the sand at Manly, Coogee, Bronte, Dee Why, Noosa, Apollo Bay, Glenelg or City Beach.
For sweets, it's to old Vienna for a creamy melange (coffee) and buttery cake in Cafe Sacher or Cafe Dommayer, or sipping cay (Turkish tea) and nibbling pastries in a tea garden next to the Bosphorus. It's to Paris for macarons at Ladurée or the white truffle and hazelnut praline macarons from Pierre Hermé. For 860 ice cream flavours such as guava, beef or sweetcorn, head to Coromoto in Merida, Venezuela.
For contact details of all the restaurants mentioned, visit: deliciousmagazine.com.au. My bucket list is by no means comprehensive and we can continue to add to it on Twitter. Please share your suggestions at @mattscravat using the #foodiebucketlist hashtag.

Video:How to Make a Home Emergency Kitwith Sarah Pihl
If an emergency arises, will you be prepared? Find out everything you need to make a home emergency kit.See Transcript
Transcript:How to Make a Home Emergency KitHi, I am Sarah Pihl for About.com Home. Emergencies can happen anywhere and any time. That's why it pays to be prepared, even in the comfort of your own apartment.
Stock Up on WaterA three day's supply of survival gear is what you should aim for. Water is essential. Guidelines recommend three gallons of water for every person. I opt for the suggested amount but in smaller containers.
Buy Plenty of FoodFood is a must - plenty of canned meat, fruits, and veggies. But do not assume you will be cooking up a storm. This stuff must be ready to eat.
Be sure to throw in some high-energy items to keep you going and some comfort foods to help with stress. And also helpful, a manual can opener, cutlery, cooking supplies like aluminum foil, garbage bags, and a seasoning or two.
Make a First Aid KitA first aid kit is key. You can put together your own, but there are plenty pre-made ones to choose from. Be sure to include back-ups of any eyeglasses, vitamins, medications, and prescriptions you use.
Pack the Essentials in the Emergency KitStock up on sanitary supplies. That means toilet paper, soaps, dental care, disinfectant, and feminine supplies.
Other essentials include:
- cash - $50 to $100 dollars is a good start
- a flashlight with extra batteries
- a battery-powered clock radio combo
- matches sealed up in a waterproof bag
- a utility knife and other basic tools
- compass and area maps
- paper and pencil
- needle and thread
- household bleach
- a whistle
Store the Emergency KitIn any apartment space comes at a premium. But because I opt for smaller water bottles, I can fit them and the rest of my supplies in two Tupperware containers stored neatly under my bed.
Collect important documents like passports and insurance policies, and seal them in in an airtight container.
Maintain the Emergency Kit SuppliesAnd lastly, include a list of the contents of your survival kit and all the expiration dates. I keep that list with my supplies and mark my calendar to check the expiration dates once a year.
Thanks for watching. To learn more, visit us on the Web at homegarden.about.com

KINGSTON, R.I. -- June 23, 2000 -- It's only a few years old, but already
the University of Rhode Island's program in Pharmacoepidemiology and Pharmacoeconomics
has attracted $2 million in research funding.
"In the last two years, we've attracted funding from pharmaceutical
companies, pharmacy benefit companies, health maintenance organizations
and retail firms," said E. Paul Larrat, director of the program.
Major companies are paying attention. Larrat said URI has developed relationships
with Blue Cross/Blue Shield of Rhode Island, CVS, Quality Metric, and Keystone
Mercy Health Plan.
URI is also doing work with Internet pharmacy companies as well.
Students enrolled in the programs are conducting research under the guidance
of Larrat and other URI pharmacy faculty. "For example, we help managed
care companies set up policies to make decisions on how to use certain drugs,
and what works best within certain health conditions," Larrat said.
"It's a unique way to teach students," Larrat said. "It's
starting up a virtual pharmacy benefit management center through the Internet.
We have actual contracts with managed care companies."
Larrat said the goal is to make sure patients get the right care, so
that managed care firms don't wind up paying for poor or inappropriate treatments
that result in unnecessary drug costs or hospital admissions.
Research topics at URI include: inappropriate prescribing for the elderly,
internet health companies, benefit design, pharmacy network management,
claims processing with major companies, mail service pharmacies, formulary
management, drug use review, disease state management, pharmacy marketing,
health care legal issues, alternative medicine, the impact of direct-to-consumer
advertising, medication compliance, HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, and
outcomes measurement.
The program has initiated several projects, including a comprehensive,
web-based pharmacy benefit resource and an antipsychotic guideline program.
"The projects could have an impact on the health care of millions of
people," Larrat said.
Larrat said the program evolved, in part, from a College of Pharmacy
survey among its alumni, friends and corporations to determine what skills
and strengths pharmacy graduates should possess when they leave URI. "It
came through loud and clear that graduates need more managed care instruction
and more management experience," Larrat said.
The curriculum is based upon principles, knowledge and research from
the disciplines of pharmacoeconomics and pharmacoepidemiology, which focus
on large groups and how prescribing patterns can be changed to effect higher
quality care at medically appropriate costs.
"Managed care specialists might be looking at data from a million
or more prescriptions in their research," Larrat said.
Jerry Brehany, a new member of the URI pharmacy faculty who is a pharmacist
and an attorney, said major health corporations want to know if the generalists,
such as internists, family doctors and pediatricians, are making the right
prescribing decisions.
The companies are all very interested," Brehany said. "It's
real-life applied research. It's not esoteric.
"These companies aren't giving away money, and so they only want
good science. We all want to learn how best to spend the health care dollar."
Although only four students were enrolled in the program when it was
initiated three years ago, it now has 20 students at both the master's and
doctoral levels. This spring, two students earned the first Ph.D.s in pharmacoepidemiology
and pharmacoeconomics from URI.
Brehany said there is growing interest in putting such curriculum in
medical schools. "We're actually very progressive, because a lot of
pharmacy schools aren't doing this." Both Larrat and Brehany have discovered
that students who earn both the six-year, undergraduate doctor of pharmacy
degree and a URI master's degree in business administration will hold powerful
credentials. Currently, three graduates of the Pharm. D. program have applied
to the one-year, full-time MBA program in Kingston.
In addition to Larrat and Brehany, other faculty members of the Program
are Cynthia Willey Temkin, associate professor of pharmacy; Susan Andrade,
assistant professor of pharmacy and The Thomas M. Ryan/CVS Chair in Community
Pharmacy; Norman A. Campbell, professor of pharmacy; and David Lipson, associate
professor of pharmacy.

Risk of thrombophlebitis
Thrombophlebitis happens when a blood clot causes swelling in a vein, the Mayo Clinic says.
This typically occurs in your legs, but can also happen in the veins in your arms or neck.
According to the Mayo Clinic, thrombophlebitis can occur in a vein near the surface of your skin or deep in a muscle. Blood clots in your deep veins can potentially cause more serious health problems, the Mayo Clinic states. These clots are at risk of breaking free and causing a pulmonary embolism.
Thrombophlebitis can be caused by periods of inactivity, such as being on bed rest or on long flights.

34 35th St., Unit 26, Brooklyn, NY, 11232
@Eyebeam I meander, would love an honorary residency, continuation of what I work on here, inner flesh, self-doubt, criticality, apotheosis of a Theory of Everythings: title of the book manuscript I'm working on. But I fit in awkwardly, unclear, problematic, messy; my connections are more to universities than digital media conferences or urban institutions. I do know I'm working more slowly than I'd like; the performances are occurring late in the residency, due most likely to family issues I couldn't control. My work deals more with internal psychic structures than anything else, theory without Lacan or Freud or Ettinger for example, so a kind of wandering that's at the heart of everything. My music/soundwork is the same - it's music without "music," I can't take a song or anything else for granted; every time I play it's an extension that could go horribly wrong and a lot of the resulting music is a suturing of that fragility - it's a kind of cover-up music.
