The Beauty of 70% Compliance
By Javier Caceres
I have been a follower of the BTD for over 11 years. My first (and very short) career was in Archeology. When I picked up the Eat Right For Your Type Book, Dr. D'Adamo had me at the first chapter. His theory fit perfectly with what I had studied, and quite simply, made sense. I already knew my Type, O+, and I was happy to find out that I could eat steak and lamb guilt free. I was sad about the cheese, or the lack of it. However, we are allowed 30% of non compliance. I can fit cheese and other avoids in while being able to claim 70% + compliance. When I am sick, I quickly go to 100% compliance and this has worked for me all along.
I used to try to convert all my friends and family to the BTD but I would always get the same replies, "It is too hard", "it is too expensive", "it is too time consuming". Is it really that hard or is it that we are not creative and flexible enough? I am not saying it is the easiest diet out there, especially in a world that is rich in wheat, corn, and sugar. However, it is the healthiest and most rewarding because it works.
How do we do it? By 'we' I am including my A- wife and my two O+ kids. You probably could not have more opposite diets and yet, there is a lot in common. Luckily, I enjoy cooking and I do improvise a lot in the kitchen. I am going to make the case that it is not so hard, nor expensive. In part, this is thanks to the power of wholesale buying, and it is not as time consuming as anyone may think. Make no mistake, we will never beat the microwave dinners.
The following is a description of our weekly routine which keeps above the 70% compliance rate required.
This is the easiest meal of all in our household and a quick way to accomplish 33% of compliance with minimal effort and creativity. I say 33% because 3 main meals a day at 33% each equal the 100% for the whole day. We consume more eggs than what the book suggests on a weekly basis but it beats having other grains or avoids. I have always loved eggs and I prepare them in different forms, the best part is that they are easy to combine with vegetables, turkey bacon, chicken sausage or neutral cheese for both O & As. We purchase spelt bread and this makes the typical breakfast bill more expensive than a regular breakfast. However, we often have rice instead of bread or spelt noodles if we had any leftover from the previous night. Rice is very affordable and when you average out the cost of rice with the cost of spelt bread, we end up at about the same price point of a regular non-compliance breakfast.
We often have spelt pancakes. I simply mix spelt flour, soy milk, eggs, butter, salt and honey. They have more of a crepe consistency than a pancake but they taste great and my kids love them. Buying spelt flour in bulk minimizes cost and it does not take that long to blend those five things in a regular blender. We often have them with fruit, honey or make them into a crepe filled with Feta and Spinach or a burrito with refried adzuki paste, lettuce and pulled chicken. This protein in the AM allows me to feel full throughout the morning until lunch time.
I am at work and restaurants around here don't cater to us. I have to brown bag or go to an Asian or Latin restaurant. If I want to minimize cost, I have to avoid restaurants so brown bagging is the best option to keep it within the parameters. Back in the day, we tried making lots of foods on Sunday and freezing them. It didn't work. I got bored easily and my palate demands different flavors after two days or more of having the same foods. Plus, who wants to spend all day cooking while you could be doing more enjoyable things. This is why we now cook for six every night in a household of four. This tactic addresses the time factor plus it offers the benefit of eating fresh every day. Besides, leftovers are often more enjoyable than the original meal.
This is the key. If you get this one to work everything else falls into place. Remember, I said you have to be flexible. I do cheat a little bit or a lot at dinner time and it is OK as I am still within the 70% a day compliance rate. For example, even if my dinner is 50% avoid, and the one that comes to mind is grilled cod fish over fried plantains and avocado sauce. The cod was the only beneficial but there was as much fish as there was plantain and avocado on my plate. This is how I arrive to the 50%. Did I weigh it? Of course not, dinner is not supposed to be stressful. For my A- wife, the avocado is beneficial so for her this dinner was within the 70%. In my case this is only 16.5% of no compliance for the day, well below the 30% threshold. Yes, I am having it for lunch the next day. That means that the next day's dinner should be a lot more compliant than the previous one. Let's assume that it wasn't the case. That would put me at 33% compliance and that is ok. I did the best I could, had a fabulous dining experience, kept it within the budget, and I had fun doing it.
I am writing this blog because I truly believe in this way of eating as the path to optimal health. I see how many people around me are in need of the right diet but they pick the wrong approach because it seems "easier" or agrees with what they want to hear. The Blood Type Diet makes a great deal of sense and it is as easy to follow as any other diet out there. In fact, it is even easier because moderate "cheating" has been accounted for and allows people to fit into social environments where beneficial foods may not be available. This wiggle room allows casual or hardcore followers to navigate the food aisles with less hesitation or frustration.
In the meantime, if my words and future recipes can encourage you to keep trying, I would be thrilled. More importantly, if I can show you that you can dine royally and still be compliant, I would be most satisfied.

Very inspirational! I like the 70 per cent goal, instead of feeling guilty when I eat avoids.

I appreciate this post. I've been on this diet for 13 years. I felt the benefits of the BTD diet almost immediately. Over the years, I have bought dozens of copies of the book to give to people who have chronic conditions whom I know would benefit from this diet instead of taking prescription drugs, and incurring more problems. In the end, only one person (with daily misery) gave it a try, on and off, admitted they felt terrific when they followed it, but said it was just too hard to stick to. I've stopped trying to convince people about the relationship of their diet to their health. I don't know… I guess I have a bigger aversion to doctors and prescription drugs than others have to changing their diets. It's not like I don't miss a lot of stuff, but I'm over the moon that I no longer have a lot of annoying health problems, lost 40 lbs. and have no need for any prescription drugs. I'll never go back.
Karen Vago August 27, 2013 at 6:55 am
Javier, this is a great post. It is a realistic way of integrating the BTD into one's life. 100% when you are sick or working on a health issue. 70% when all's well! And the lists give ideas of foods most people have probably never sampled.
Cocky van Hesteren August 27, 2013 at 9:55 am
Javier, awesome post! Most people think is so timeconsuming preparing fresh foods for dinner. No way! We enjoy our dinner within 30/45 minutes. Essential is to organize shopping and preparation.. EspeciallyI love the spelt pancakes with feta, honey of fruits. Pancakes are our fave type of breakfast. The leftover pancakes (they hardly will survive till evening… 😉 ) will be wraps for our veggie/Turkeydishes for dinner! I will share your post on FB.

Thank you for the insight about staying 70% compliant! It's interesting to me how you've broken the day into 3 equal segments, and how you've maintained a stress-free attitude. I also tried cooking all meals on Sundays, but felt left-out of the family activities going on around me. So back to cooking alittle extra for dinner and having leftovers for lunch. I agree, those usually taste better the next day anyway!
Sarah El August 27, 2013 at 11:55 am
Thank you for sharing! I have the same "problem", I am O, my husband and daughter are type A and love red meat, and I try to avoid my self so they will eat it less possible… But in my family is still working for the most part. And as for the other people that @ Stephanie talk, me too I used to buy a lot of books and give to people, now I stop but anyway I have been more lucky, a lot of them are trying to stick in it.

Huffington Post writer Mike Ragogna recently interviewed comedian Doug Stanhope, who had a lot to say on the subject of inspiration, where his jokes come from, etc.
Says Doug, "The word 'inspiration' is so flowery, it queers my stomach, like there's some great comedy muse out there and I must find it. You hang around, you drink, you talk shit, and then you say, 'Hey, that's funny. I should write that on a cocktail napkin.' I'm not sitting around stroking some goatee, staring at the sky thinking, 'What shall I do with my art? How shall I be inspired?'"
Similarly, he says, "I have no idea where the material comes from. It's like asking me where ideas come from; I don't know. You have material, you have stuff that bothers you, you have stuff that's funny, and you pound the road until you're so sick of saying it that you have to put it on a DVD so that you can never have to say it again. Then, a year and a half later, it comes out, and you're doing an interview where you don't remember what the hell is on the album."

Säsongmat API
The service provides Swedish-language content about seasonal availability of foods in Sweden and the region. When foods are naturally available, they can be supplied with the least environmental impact while they are also least expensive and quality is highest. The service seeks to help consumers to maximize their uses of seasonally products by giving access to a database of foods and sources. API methods support retrieval of content on raw (unprocessed) food products specified by name, EAN-13 bar code, or PLU code. Methods also allow specification of a region where foods are grown, harvested, or produced. Methods also allow applications to update the database with new information about food products. A plug-in for the WordPress blogging platform is available, and data can be retrieved with semantic markup.

The most exciting part of the Oscars is the red carpet, at least for us girls. What did you think of the fashion last night? Hit or miss for Angelina Jolie? I loved it! Simple, yet so elegant. I heard her family threw all of the designers name in a hat and picked the winner. Very different than I thought it was going to be. I thought for sure she was going to pop the carpet with more color. The black dress showed off her figure amazingly.
Loved Tina Fey, Penelope Cruz, and I like Kristen Wiig. Most of the girls on E! News was not a fan of Kristen, but I thought the dress and style fit her personality. It wasn't over the top.

I hear mumbling this morning wondering why there is such jubilation and excitement regarding last nights win. I watched the game and as a realist, I have to admit this team still has a long way to go. The offense got itself into a couple 3 and out situations and wasn't firing on all cylinders. The defense was getting moved on at will with huge chunks of yards getting torn out of them that never stopped until Henne did something stupid and decided to push things rather than staying safe.
However, I am still filled with joy this morning and very excited for this team. Why? Because:
1. 1. The Pats took advantage of mistakes at almost every opportunity.
2. 2. The Pats defense was swarming, hitting harder and getting very good pressure on their QB.
3. 3. The Pats played angry, like they had serious chips on their shoulders.
4. 4. The gel of this young team got a little thicker last night.
5. 5. The Pats stomped a mudhole in a team in a stadium we have a proven track record of not doing well against.
6. 6. The Pats made a very big statement.
7. 7. I saw Brady near the end of the game on the sidelines as fired up as I've ever seen him and yet still wearing a big chip.
If you consider yourself a Pats fan and don't find yourself excited after last night, you might want to get your pulse checked.

COLUMBIA CITY — Whitley County's Commissioners heard a proposal for a fiber optic cable plan that would aid industry in the area.
Alan Tio, president of the Whitley County Economic Development Corporation, spoke at Monday's meeting with Bill Overdeer of the Whitley County Redevelopment Com-mission.
The pair petitioned the commissioners for $40,000 to put toward the project. The remainder of the funds would come from grants and other sources.
The proposed network would terminate at Parkview Whitley and would cover the industrial corridor east of the hospital. Tio said part of the grant specified funds be used near a hospital.
"It is for rural hospitals and medical care," he said.
The fiber optic cable would provide a boost to industry in the area and would also provide redundant cable, which is more than one source of fiber in case it were cut in one area.
The project is currently in the proposal stage with the county hospital pondering if it will join.
The commissioners thanked Tio and Overdeer and said the proposal would be brought up at the next County Council meeting, which will be in January.

Australia's competition watchdog is racing to move from its nine-year-old content management system (CMS) to the open source Drupal platform before the Government tightens its budget in July.
Under 2012-13 federal budget savings measures, announced last November, agencies will be required to achieve an additional 2.5 percent efficiency dividend by reducing expenditure on consultants and contractors, travel, media, advertising, printing and publication.
A spokesman for the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) said it was working to a "very tight timetable" for the redevelopment of its website.
All work would be undertaken from May to June, so as to complete the project by the end of the financial year, he said.
According to ACCC tender documents, the commission will deploy Drupal version 7 to replace a Sytadel CMS developed by local company Synop in 2003.
Synop closed shop in 1 October 2006, and work on Sytadel effectively ended with the CMS becoming open source in 2009.
ACCC's annual report for 2010-11 reveals it sought to maintain the CMS when it "undertook a modernisation of the ACCC website's technology base" using Sytadel 5.
It began using Drupal for a Freedom of Information document portal last year, joining several high-profile Drupal sites in the Australian public sector, including those of the Prime Minister, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Department of Regional Australia and Australian Law Reform Commission.
Tender documents published last week revealed that the ACCC had installed Drupal into a virtualised server environment, and was in the process of configuring the platform within its IT infrastructure.
Consulting services required
The ACCC called for an "experienced vendor" to help it develop a content migration strategy for moving from Sytadel to the new Information Architecture within Drupal.
It sought strategic technical advice, Drupal module selection and review, Drupal programming and related quality assurance work.
The successful vendor will work with an in-house Applications Management team, with the in-house team responsible for installation, configuration and long-term maintenance of the Drupal CMS.
Besides developing the new Information Architecture and website design for "a complex website structure of approximately 65,000 content pages", the vendor will be required to document best practice, train ACCC IT staff, assist with integration and provide advice on complementary toolsets.
Tender documents suggest that all work will be undertaken at the ACCC's Canberra offices and will be costed on a time and materials basis with zero or "minimal" budget for travel.

A well-known retired teacher and coach from Central Pennsylvania was found dead in a remote area of Maine last week. Eugene Koehler of Riverside was on a hunting trip. Investigators believe he died of natural causes.
Friends describe Eugene Koehler as happy, passionate, friendly and always willing to lend a helping hand. The former coach and teacher was hunting in Maine. He was found dead Thursday. His friends and family are preparing to honor him at a memorial luncheon.
Koehler, 73, was a longtime member of St. Paul's-Emmanuel United Methodist Church in Danville.
"The first thing you would notice is his smile. Gene would be at the door and he'd greet everybody who came to church," Pastor Greg Molter said.
Koehler's friends spent the morning setting up for his memorial luncheon at the church in Danville. The longtime teacher in Central Pennsylvania was hunting in Maine last week, when he died of what authorities believe was natural causes.
Friends say Gene was a teacher and coach for 30 years in Montoursville, Selinsgrove and here at the Benton Area School District where he retired from in 1993.
"Had been there for many years. He was a physical education and drivers education teacher there," Larry Horne said.
"Friendliness describes Gene in one word. The kind of guy everybody liked? If you didn't like gene there was something wrong with you," Molter said.
Friends say Gene's other passions were spending time with his family, and hunting. He frequently traveled to hunt, and was doing what he loved when he died.
"Always had plenty of time to give to anybody that needed his help. Whenever anything needed to be done here at the church, gene was the go-to guy," Horne said.
"Never looked for a reward. Always willing to give a hand. That was Gene," Molter said.
A celebration of Gene's life will be held Tuesday at 11a.m. at St. Paul's-Emmanuel United Methodist Church in Danville.

When one of their own accomplishes something noteworthy in life, neighbors in the close-knit town of Miles City, Montana, like to make a fuss. So when Stephen Berg, the son of longtime residents Jeanne and the late Conrad Berg, was named the next bishop of Pueblo, Colorado, the news spread faster than a Texas wildfire.
The next time you're away from the city lights on a cloudless night, take a glance skyward. There in the heavens will be an endless universe filled with countless stars. It's a miracle we can witness just by opening our eyes. As author Joseph Pearce began his journey away from hatred and toward love of his fellow man, he saw the wonders of the night sky as one of many magnificent signs of God's presence.
It's been a banner season for new bishops selected from the Diocese of Fort Worth. The diocese's own Monsignor Michael Olson was appointed bishop of Fort Worth, Nov. 19, 2013 and ordained and installed Jan. 29; and Diocesan Administrator Monsignor Steven Berg received the papal call to shepherd the Diocese of Pueblo, Colorado Jan 15, and was ordained and installed Feb. 27.
When faced with tough decisions during his years as a pastor and later as diocesan administrator for the Diocese of Fort Worth, Monsignor Stephen Berg knew there was a trusting soul who understood the challenges of ministry. For advice and encouragement he turned to his uncle, Bishop Emeritus of Des Moines Joseph L. Charron, also known to his many nieces and nephews as "Bishop Uncle Joe."
By raising more than $2 million dollars in 23 years with the Father Aidan Donlon Vocations Dinner, Knights of Columbus Council 1473 based out of Our Lady Queen of Peace Parish in Wichita Falls, has played an important role in the lives of many priests in the Diocese of Fort Worth, including those of Bishop Michael Olson, and Father Michael Moloney, associate pastor in Wichita Falls.

Cary Medical Center Launching Kids Cooking Program
Turning county kids into chefs – that's the idea behind the Cary Kids Cook program – which was unveiled Tuesday morning. Cary Medical Center will be working with the faith based community to teach middle school aged kids to cook healthy foods for themselves and their families.
"Different skills that aren't being taught in schools anymore at this age so they'll learn knife skills, mixing, teaspoons and tablespoons…the long term goal is to improve the health of the people in our communities," said Lisa Prescott, medical laboratory technologist at Cary.
The Cary Kids Cook program will be an an 8 week long cooking class for kids ages 11-14. It came out of a concern that many families in Aroostook County are struggling with getting proper nutrition and the cost of healthy foods. Program Coordinator Anna Blackstone is really excited to teach kids how to cook healthy on a budget and introduce them to foods they maybe haven't tried before.
"Avocados and fish, learning how to use ground turkey instead of meat, a lot less dairy," she said.
And all of the food that's cooked in class will go home with the kids. The project will hold classes at churches in all six of Cary Medical Center's Healthy You Communities – which include Caribou, Presque Isle, Van Buren, Fort Fairfield, Limestone and Washburn. It's funded by a 50 thousand dollar grant from Wal-Mart. Manager Chad Gray says the company is working on making the products they sell healthier, but it's all about making people aware.
"We have to follow that up with an ingredient that's probably more complex than anything and thats the educational and the informational background to it," he said.
"If you teach them to fish, then they eat for a lifetime..and so we are looking for lifetime habits and really changing the eating habits of the people here in Aroostook County," said Prescott.
The program will happen Saturday mornings from 11-2, and is expected to start within the month. Cary is now recruiting six families for the Presque Isle cooking class and six for the Caribou cooking class. To sign up call Cary Communications at 498-1112.

Master's Touch Acrylic Paints have intense color and coverage. Applicable on multiple supports: paper, canvas, wood and more. Dilute with water. Clean tools with water before acrylic dries. Paint comes in a 4.1-ounce tube.
2 out of 2 found this review helpful.
Recommend: Yes
...but of course like most things, you get what you payed for. This is a student grade paint in my opinion, and when compared to liquitex Ultramarine, Master's Touch showed to be a bit thinner and not near as vibrant. I just recently found out Master's Touch is owned by Hobby Lobby and though their brushes can be spectacular at times, I'd leave the paint n' pigment game to the masters.However if you're on a budget, the low prices, probable discounts, and impressive selection of colors make this an adequate choice.

About Florentine biscuit
Any French or Italian dish described as 'Florentine' uses spinach as its base. A florentine is also a kind of biscuit made with nuts, honey and dried fruit. When the biscuits are cooked and have cooled theyre spread on one side with melted chocolate and left until the chocolate cools and hardens.
These very luxurious biscuits cant be dashed off in five minutes but, if you have the time, then they do make a marvelous present, particularly at Christmas time.
Makes about 20
150 gm / 5 oz dark chocolate with 70-75% cocoa solids
25 gm / 1 oz butter, plus a little melted butter for greasing
75gm / 3 oz golden caster sugar
10 gm / ½ oz plain flour, plus extra for dusting
65 ml / 2½ fl oz double cream
50 gm / 2 oz whole almonds, blanched and cut into thin slivers
50 gm / 2 oz ready-flaked almonds
50 gm / 2 oz whole candied peel, chopped
25 gm / 1 oz glacé cherries, chopped
25 gm / 1 oz angelica, finely chopped (if you cant find angelica, use green glacé cherries instead)
1. Preheat the oven to 190ºC / 375ºF. Prepare two baking sheets, 28 X 35 cm / 11 X 14 inches.
2. Melt the 25 gm / 1 oz butter, together with the sugar and flour, in a small, heavy-based saucepan over a very low heat, and keep stirring until the mixture has melted.
3. Gradually add the cream, stirring continuously to keep it smooth.
4. Add all the remaining ingredients, except the chocolate. Stir thoroughly again.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and put the mixture on one side to cool.
6. Brush the baking sheets with a little melted butter, lightly dust with flour and then tap them to get rid of the excess flour.
7. Place heaped teaspoonfuls of the mixture on to one of the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2.5 cm / 1 inch apart, to allow the mixture room to expand while baking. Flatten each spoonful with the back of the spoon.
8. Bake on a high shelf for about 12-15 minutes, or until golden.
9. Take the biscuits out of the oven and leave them to harden on the baking sheets for 2-3 minutes, before quickly removing them to a wire rack to cool.
10. Repeat with the second batch.
11. Melt the chocolate in a basin over a saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the base of the bowl doesnt touch the water.
12. Place the cooled Florentines, base up, on a wire rack and, using a teaspoon, coat the underside of each Florentines with warm melted chocolate.
13. Just before it sets, make a patterned, wavy line on each one, using a fork.
14. Leave the Florentines to cool completely.
15. Serve or packing in alternating rows of fruits and chocolate side up in boxes or tins.

Hunting with Bait
(See below.)
Aug 25 – Sept 20
Sept 1 – Oct 31
All dates are inclusive except that hunting is prohibited on Sunday.
See Laws Pertaining to Hunting Equipment for information on the use of crossbows.
For information on bear trapping, see below.
The fee for this permit is $27.00* for residents and $74.00* for nonresidents and aliens. A bear permit is required to hunt bear prior to the firearm season on deer. During the firearms season on deer, nonresidents and aliens are required to obtain a permit to hunt bear. The fee for this permit is $40.00*. Although this permit is not required to trap for bear, you do need a trapping license and a bear trapping permit to trap for bear.
*Plus agent fee.
Bait may not be used to hunt for bear from September 21, 2014 to November 29, 2014. Hunting with the use of bait is defined as hunting from an observation stand, blind or other location which overlooks any bait or food except standing crops and foods that have been left as a result of normal agricultural operations or natural occurrence. "Bear Bait" means any animal or plant, or derivative of an animal or plant, used to attract bear. "Bear bait" does not include any packaging or container materials that fall within the definition of litter under Title 17, §2263.
Bait may not be placed to entice, hunt or trap black bear unless:
A permit is required from Inland Fisheries & Wildlife to place bait on wildlife management areas for the purpose of hunting bear. Contact the wildlife biologist in your administrative region, which can be found on page 2, to apply for a bear baiting permit.
A permit is required from the Bureau of Parks and Lands, (207) 287-3821, to place bait on Public Reserved Land for the purpose of hunting bear. Baiting of animals is prohibited in State Parks and Historic Sites.
NOTE: Hunters are required to remove a premolar tooth from the bear they harvest and provide the tooth when they register their bear. Hunters will receive instructions at the registration station or can go online. Hunters will be notified of the age of the bear they harvested on the Bear Hunting Page on the Department's website
There is an open season on trapping bear from September 1 through October 31 annually. You are allowed to take one bear by trapping and one bear by hunting each year. See above for Bear Hunting Regulations. You must obtain a trapping license and a bear trapping permit to take a bear by trapping.
If you trap for black bear you are required to follow the same general rules that apply to the labeling of traps, the tending of traps and the need to obtain landowner permission. If you trap a bear, you are required to follow the same transportation and registration rules as those for bear which have been taken by hunting (see below). In addition, you are required to follow other rules which apply specifically to bear trapping, as follows:
Regulations in red are new this year.

Teen Delinquency Won't Stand a Chance Against Lap Pool and Gym, St. Louis Officials Hope
"They've been on the street causing all kinds of messes," said Alderman Freeman Bosley Sr. at today's groundbreaking. Bosley added that since the pools and rec centers of his childhood have closed, youths are hard-pressed to find somewhere to spend time under adult supervision, especially during the summer.
|A rendering of the proposed rec-plex.
The O'Fallon Park Recreation Complex is slated to open by December 31, 2011, "just in time to fulfill our New Year's resolutions," Slay remarked.
The $23 million, 79,000-square-foot park will include amenities such as a gym, indoor track, aquatic center with a splash pool, slides, sauna, and outdoor lap pool.
Comptroller Darlene Green said the complex will benefit the community by creating jobs, especially for minorities. Her goal is that the workforce at the community center be at least 30 percent minority.
The complex will be built by contractors SM Wilson to conform to LEED Silver standards.

Lana Del Rey's song "Video Games" got us thinking — what if some of our favorite songs were made into actual video games? We thought about some tracks we love, and quickly found that many of them lend themselves perfectly to the video game format. We've even taken the trouble to add an objective and plot to each of our selections, so we think that someone should take some of these hit songs and pixelate them so we can add them to our consoles. You have to admit, they do sound more appealing than that rumored Angry Birds / Kanye West collaboration…
Lana Del Rey – "Video Games"
In which you attempt to save Paz De La Huerta from herself.
Rihanna, Jay-Z & Kanye West – "Run This Town"
In which you are the mayor of a town, and must run it as such.
Drake – "Crew Love"
In which you attempt to build and sustain a "crew" with challenges including in-fighting, mutiny and rival crews.
Beyoncé – "1+1″
An educational game in which you solve math problems.
John Mayer – "Heartbreak Warfare"
In which you use love as a weapon, in the style of COD. You can pick up different "guns" as you go, including truth bombs, guilt launchers and sniping rifles.
Pat Benatar – "Love Is A Battlefield"
As above.
Christina Aguilera – "Fighter"
In which you gratuitously fight everything that comes into your path, with no apparent plot.
Grace Jones – "Pull Up To The Bumper"
In which you steal cars and sell drugs in the style of Grand Theft Auto, but more glamorously and without the misogyny.
Arcade Fire – "Suburban War"
In which bored housewives becomes zombies and take over your town. You must fight using your scruples and mundane objects you find in the deserted suburban landscape to survive.
Kanye West – "Gold Digger"
In which you must search for gold in order to build and sustain a community and military force to take over neighboring land, in the style of World Of Warcraft.
Radiohead – "Karma Police"
In which you are a future cop responsible for exacting justice based on ethics and/or morality. You must also fight orthodox police who believe in the arbitrary rule of law.

Anyone have any suggestions for bakeries that do a good red-velvet?

- Potatoes
Floury or waxy
They're usually divided into two main groups: floury and waxy. Floury varieties include King Edward and Maris Piper, which are ideal for mashing and roasting, but tend to break up when boiled for salads.
Waxy potatoes - Jersey Royals, Charlotte potatoes and Pink Fir Apple, hold their shape well when cooked, and have a subtle, delicate taste - ideal for salads.
They are in-season at different times of the year, many maincrop floury varieties are at their best during winter, while new potatoes, such as Jersey Royals have a season that runs through from late spring to early summer.
If you can, buy unwashed new potatoes and give them a good rinse and scrub before cooking - they have a better flavour then pre-washed potatoes. Look for papery thin wisps of skin that can be easily removed by rubbing.
To store
Keep potatoes in a dark, dry cool cupboard (and not in the fridge). If you can, store them in a paper bag, so they can 'breathe'. Plastic bags don't do them any favours and tend to make potatoes 'sweat' and age ahead of their time.
New potatoes have a shorter storage life than maincrop ones. It's best to use Jersey Royals within a few days, while regular potatoes, if stored well, will keep for around a three weeks.
In the kitchen...
New potatoes only need a good wash and scrub before cooking, but maincrop ones aren't normally eaten with their skin on.
If you're boiling them, cook new potatoes in lightly salted boiling water (adding a sprig of mint complements their delicate flavour). Maincrop varieties are best placed in a pan of lightly salted cold water and brought to the boil.
Each variety has a distinctive flavour. To preserve maximum taste, try baking maincrop potatoes instead of boiling. Rub the skin with a dab of vegetable oil and sprinkle over salt before baking in a hot oven until tender when pierced with a sharp knife. The delicacy of new potatoes is best appreciated, when steamed.
Their popularity spreads across the world and has especially caught on in former colonies where white settlers have lived. There's really no end to the ways in which potatoes can be cooked - baked, chipped, mashed, fried, steamed, boiled, roasted....
Because of their bland flavour and creamy, starchy texture, they work well with dairy produce as well as with stronger-tasting ingredients - tomatoes, cheese, onions, garlic and spices. Here's a round-up of popular varieties
Good for mashing, roasting and making chips
King Edward: pinkish-red skin, creamy-coloured flesh, floury texture
Maris Piper: mild flavour, pale beige skin
Estima: creamy yellow flesh, oval in shape
Best for baking
King Edward
Desiree: red-skinned, they hold their shape particularly well after cooking
Romano: reddish skin, soft, dryish texture and delicate flavour
Wilja: grown mainly in Holland, this yellow-skinned variety is noted for a sweetish flavour and dense texture.
Great for boiling, steaming and salads
Charlotte: a popular choice, their distinctive, elongated oval shape, firm texture are delicate taste make them well-suited to simple cooking methods.
Jersey Royals: perhaps the most prized of spring and early summer potatoes, this variety is grown only on the island of Jersey. The early season potatoes are smaller and particularly tender, whereas the later season ones are larger
Speciality varieties
Oval in shape with white skin and a waxy texture - good for boiling, but it's soft texture makes it a good choice for baking and mashing. They work particularly well when sliced and baked in dishes such as boulangere potatoes (layered potato slices baked with onions in stock).
Carlingford new potatoes
White-skinned, best used in salads and for boiling
Kerr's Pink potatoes
A powdery texture makes them a good choice for mashing
Marfona potatoes
Good for baking and boiling, they have a distinctive, slightly astringent taste
Pentland Javelin
In-season when Jersey royals finish at the end of June, this variety has a short season, until the end of July. A firm texture and delicate flavour makes them an excellent choice for boiling.
Pink Fir
Pink skin, firm waxy texture
An old French variety with a chestnut-like flavour
Red Duke of York
Red skinned with a pale yellow flesh, they're best suited to boiling
Shetland Black vintage potatoes
Noted for their deep purple skin and purple-ringed yellowish flesh, they have a light, floury texture and are best served boiled.

'90s Hip-Hop Jam of the Week: Wreckz-N-Effect, "Rump Shaker"
This was probably not the best video for an impressionable adolescent to watch, but perhaps it sent me on my uber-feminist path.
Fun fact: My calculus teacher in high school used to reference this song, vaguely, when mentioning us doing math on our TI-82 calculators. It wasn't creepy; it was just hilarious.
Even more fun facts: According to Wikipedia, "'Rump Shaker' is also notable for featuring a verse (performed by Teddy Riley) written by a young Pharrell Williams, who, along with fellow future-Neptune Chad Hugo, contributed additional production work as Teddy Riley's then-protégés."
Williams and Hugo, of course, are in town at 8 p.m. this Sunday night at the Pageant with N.E.R.D. See our feature here.
