Frozen Spinach Pops [for Smoothies & Protein Shakes] (video)
We all know that dark leafy greens are the #1 ingredient missing from American diets so I am always looking for a new way to work them into my daily routine (which brings me to these clever little spinach pops!).
I have to send out a big cyber-thank you to Brittany from LittleB'sHealthyHabits, it's because of her that I can now effortlessly add some greens to my protein shakes and smoothies any day of the week.
Brittany's site is all about eating clean & fitness, her focus and determination are extremely inspirational. Definitely check her out for some clean eating inspiration and fitness motivation.
I haven't tried yet, but I bet you could also add one of these to your morning bowl of oats to make something like this with a little less effort.

Hi Dani,
I have been freezing my spinach for a few months now and it is a great tip. I add it in my post workout smoothies (with protein powder, chia or flax seeds, fruit of choice and some liquid which can be water or almond milk or yogurt) every morning. The frozen spinach accompanied with a few cubes of ice makes the smoothie thicker. As soon as I buy my bag of spinach, I take out my magic bullet and blend it in there, then transfer to silicone individual muffin cups as it makes it easy to flip out and put into a freezer bag for when I am ready to use them.
Thanks for sharing with others who do not know this tip.
That's a great dip, thanks Dani!
Great idea! I've been doing green monster smoothies for a few years and this will save me time and money! (No wasted spinach…)
One question – does it alter the consistency? I tried using bagged frozen spinach once and the color and consistency was all wrong. Made for a really chewy shake (yuck!)
Great idea!! I will definitely try this
Now, out of curiosity, is there any nutritional loss in freezing them?
Thank you so much for the shout out! Glad you find it useful
This is amazing. Thank you Brittany and Dani. I just bought a silicon ice cube tray. Picking up baby spinach at the Farmer's Market on Sunday. Sharing your link with all my friends.
AWESOME IDEA! Hey Dani, where did you get the orange tray from?
Can you do the same idea with Romaine Lettuce (Frozen Romaine Pops)?
About how many spinach pops equal a cup? I wandering how do you determine how may spinach pops replace the cups of spinach in a recipe. I can't wait to give this a try.

Brad Pitt, 'Killing Them Softly' take aim at crime genre
Crime films are not one-size-fits-all affairs. If you've seen one, you haven't seen them all. It only seems you have because certain elements are recurring: all-male settings filled with violence and extreme characters who are hard-boiled or Runyonesque.
Crime still pays today, but it takes more than generic felonious acts and heinous characters to move the needle. »Read Full Article
Actor John C. Reilly brings character to concert at Miller Caves
The Miller Caves, underneath the brewery that not only made Milwaukee famous but also helped define the city itself, apparently never seemed, until Sunday night, like a place to hold a concert.
In retrospect, after the very first such event courtesy of John C. Reilly and Friends, the historic location was a small club waiting to happen: The painted backdrop of cavorting (presumably) Germans had retro style, as did the overhead lamps and the high-arched ceiling. »Read Full Article(4)
What does strange press release from 'Mad Men' mean?

With Peggy listed as the contact, it is presumably the press release Peggy was told to prepare a few weeks ago on the show, announcing the new name of the merged advertising agency. »Read Full Blog Post(3)

Take a seat
Milwaukee's historic house museums are offering patrons a seat at their annual fundraising event Wednesday. And, afterward — guests can take the chairs with them. The Villa Terrace Decorative Arts Museum and the Charles Allis Art Museum have been blessed with chairs — or artistic riffs on chairs — created by local artists for this auction at 6 p.m. at the Villa Terrace. The seats range from an old easy chair dressed as a cozy grandmother to a pew made from doors to a partial-chair that's now totally sculptural. Other seats for auction are ones at theatrical productions, sporting events or a table in a local fine dining establishment. The evening also features live music, hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar. Tickets are $25. Making a reservation would be appreciated and can be done by calling Ann Steinbach at (414) 278-8295 Ext. 5, but it isn't mandatory.

watch: "dreams" – taken by trees
Are you going on vacation this summer? Or are you stuck with the dreaded staycation?
If it's the latter, you can still get some sultry vibes the video for "Dreams" from Victoria Bergsman's Taken By Trees. The Amanda Marsalis-directed clip was filmed on North Shore of Oahu, and it features shot after shot of lush landscapes.
The visuals mesh perfectly with the tropically-inspired song, which was also written during Bergsman's time in Hawaii. Seriously, just put on some headphones, full-screen the video, and bliss out for a few minutes.
Watch for: the song, and Bergman herself, takes off running at 1:21.
"Dreams" is the first song released from Taken By Tree's third full-length, Other Worlds, which will be available October 2nd via Secretly Canadian. You can also hear it on the Dreams 12″, featuring remixes by Henning Fürst of The Tough Alliance.

|RMF In-Depth
Risk Management Framework (RMF) In-depth

RMF Fundamentals is strongly recommended as a predecessor to this course.
Course Duration: Three Days
Course Format: Lecture, discussion, and individual/group exercises
Course Content:
Course Materials: Each student will receive a printed training manual and a CD or "flash drive" containing useful documents, templates and samples.
Cost: $1,500 per person (See special pricing below)
Special Pricing: A 10% discount will be given to trainees who register for the complete curriculum (RMF Fundamentals and RMF In-Depth) in the same training week. The total cost for the full four day training experience is $1,935 ($650+$1,500-10%).

Do the words and symbolism you use in your wedding ceremony really mean something serious to you, your family and your guests?

Engage an officiant who will make your ceremony personally meaningful and memorable. ~ Welcome to our blog, where you can learn about how we write wedding ceremonies.

Memories - Sweetened thru the ages just like wine
by Peter Verbruggen (2003) hardback, 160 pages - in English
Subtitled: On the road with Elvis and John Wilkinson. The book holds over a hundred rare illustrations and takes you back to the days when Elvis filled showroom after showroom. The 160 page book brings back to life the many memories of Elvis Presley's friend and rhythm guitarist John Wilkinson.
The book comes with a bonus CD containg John's own single releases and two hidden bonus tracks in which you can hear two live recordings of John performing his signature song "Early Morning Rain" on stage with Elvis and the TCB band. But on these versions he does not only play the guitar, but also sings them.
Signed by John Wilkinson.

Hi-res shots of Phoenix lander…on Mars!
High-five, humanity!
Coooool. This photo of the Phoenix were taken by the HIRISE camera, stashed on the Mars Orbiter. For the full-size pic, go here.
This is like some giant 'it's awesome to be human' moment. Wicked badass awesome. We sent something thousands of miles to another planet, got it to land all by itself, and the damn thing still works. Of course, this makes the continued insouciance of my toaster all the more perplexing. Via io9.

Wherever faith meets art with Menachem Wecker
Monthly Archive for April, 2011
Where did Gabriel Metsu get his Hebrew Crucifixion inscription from?
Gabriel Metsu's c. 1650-60 Crucifixion incorporates all the props one would expect: a skull and crossbones, a chalice, a dramatic sky with a suspended moon and three figures, presumably John, the Virgin Mary and Mary Magdalene. The unexpected element of the work, though, is the Hebrew inscription (titulus in Latin) on the cross. [Read More]
Should religious art be removed from the National Gallery of Art?
Do atheists, who say that public funding shouldn't support the installation of religious art in museums, have a convincing argument? If not, why should museums, like the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, consider removing art perceived as anti-religious? [Read More]
Thinking inside the box: saints and relics
The current exhibit at the Walters Art Museum in Baltimore, M.d., Treasures of Heaven: Saints, Relics, and Devotion in Medieval Europe, which was previously at the Cleveland Museum of Art and will travel to the British Museum later this year, literally puts saints in boxes. For some, it will be difficult or impossible to get […] [Read More]
Dear Facebook, please reinstate the Intifada page, and here's why

Dit recept is bestemd voor 12 stuks (afhankelijk van de vormpjes).
Pureer de rijpe bananen fijn. Meng de fijngepureerde bananen, suiker en eieren door elkaar. Smelt de boter (niet te heet laten worden). Voeg langzaam al roerend de boter toe. Zeef de bloem en voeg dit samen met het bakpoeder bij het beslag. Roer vervolgens de karnemelk bij het beslag en spatel de gehakte walnoten erdoor. Vul de beboterde vormpjes met het beslag. Bruin bakken op 145 graden in 50 minuten in een voorverwarmde oven.
Cream marg. Blend in eggs and bananas. Add milk and lemon juice. Mix in flour and soda. Blend well. Put in buttered 9x5x3 pan (inches I presume :-) Bake at 350 F (= (350-32)*5/9 C = 180 C ) or gas mark 4 for about 1 hour or until bread springs back when lightly touched in centre.
Preheat oven to 350F / 180C / gas mark 4.
Put together and sift:
Cream or melt:
Add and mix:
Beat in, one at a time:
In a separate bowl, put:
Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture in 3 parts, alternating with the banana mixture. Stir the batter after each addition until smooth. Optionally, stir in:
Bake in greased pan(s) about ½ hour (may be longer - it's done when an inserted knife comes out clean). I usually use one large pan, but you can also use 2 round baking pans (8-9 in. / 20-23 cm diameter). In the first case, I just serve it as it is. In the second case, you can finish it off in the following way:
When cool, place between the layers:
Spread the cake with:
If served at once, this cake is good without icing, just sprinkled with powdered sugar.
Preheat oven to 350F / 180C / mark 4. Grease a loaf pan (or it will bake faster in a low, broad pan). Mix the bananas and eggs together in a large bowl. Stir in the flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add the walnuts and mix. Put the batter in the pan and bake for 1 hour, or until the cake springs back when you touch it.
350 F oven, 40 - 50 minutes to bake, 2 loaves
Beat in a large bowl, beginning with sugar or honey and butter, add eggs one at a time. Add remaining ingredients, and beat until light in color.
sift together - twice
Add flour mixture and banana mush alternatively to butter mixture, beginning and ending with flour (flour - banana - flour - banana - flour). After each addition mix gently to combine, but do not beat or otherwise overmix - this toughens and dries a cake [umm - banana bread?]. Add nuts last. Generously butter 2 loaf pans and sprinkle with sesame seeds (they'll stick to the butter). Divide batter and bake.
Cool 10 minutes in the pan, then remove to finish cooling.
Serve plain or with butter or cream cheese.
Yield: 12 (large) muffins
Dry Ingredients:
Wet Ingredients:
Preheat oven to 375 F / 190 C / Mark 5.
Measure and sift all the dry ingredients except the sunflower seeds, the wheat bran and the chocolate chips together in a large bowl. Sift a second time. Add the sunflower seeds, bran and chocolate chips and toss. Set aside.
Puree the bananas in the food processor using the puree blade. The pureed banana should measure about 3 cups. Add the remaining wet ingredients (oil, egg, honey, extract, and rind) and pulse to blend. (If you do not use a food processor, mash the banana by hand using a fork or potato ricer. Add the remaining wet ingredients and stir to combine.)
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir just until mixed. Do not overstir.
Spoon the batter into greased or papered baking tins. Fill each cups nearly to the top.
Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Cool in the baking tins for at least 10 minutes. Remove from the tins and brush the top of each muffin with canola oil.
If your muffins don't seem to be airy and light, your oven might not be hot enough. Also it's important that you don't overstir -- the batter should not be beaten, just stirred enough to mix the wet and dry ingredients.
Combine oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a mixing bowl. Lightly beat together eggs, buttermilk and oil. Stir liquid ingredients and banana into dry ingredients. Mix only until all ingredients are combined. Pour ¼ cup batter per pancake onto a hot, lightly greased griddle. Cook, turning once, until golden brown. Yields about 12 big pancakes.
Per pancake: 150 calories (European kilocalories), 5 g protein, 21 g carbohydrate, 5 g fat (1 g saturated), 36 mg cholesterol, 188 mg sodium, 2 g fiber.
You can also make small pancakes (several to a pan). The recipe halves well, using still one whole banana. (Otherwise I hope you have about 6 people to feed. You can refrigerate this for a couple of days then re-heat them in a warm oven.)
Personally, I don't like the taste of the oil -- I prefer butter, but then it is not as healthy. Also, you don't need the cinnamon -- too much can hide the flavors of the other ingredients.
Combine ingredients and quantities from all the recipes on this page, stir, and put in an oven for approximately 1-2 hours.
Share and enjoy!

Dwarf mistletoes: Biology, pathology, and systematics
Hawksworth, Frank G.; Wiens, Delbert. 1996. Dwarf mistletoes: Biology, pathology, and systematics. Agricultural Handbook 709. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, Forest Service. 410 p.
Arceuthobium (dwarf mistletoes), a well defined but morphologically reduced genus of the family Viscaceae, is parasitic on Pinaceae in the Old and New Worlds and on Cupressaceae in the Old World. Although conifer forests in many parts of the Northern Hemisphere are infested with dwarf mistletoes, those most commonly infested are in western North America and Mexico. In North America, Arceuthobium ranges from central Canada and southeastern Alaska to Honduras. Only A. pusillum occurs in eastern North America, and only A. juniperi-procerae is found in the Southern Hemisphere. Arceuthobium bicarinatum and A. azoricum are restricted to islands (Hispaniola and the Azores, respectively).
In this taxonomic revision, the 46 recognized taxa comprise 42 species - 4 with 2 subspecies each, and 1 with 2 formae speciales. Eight species are known in the Old World and thirty-four species occur in the New. Natural hybridization and polyploidy are unknown and have resulted in a relatively clear, dendritic line of evolution. The genus is probably of early Tertiary origin and its closest relative is the genus Notothixos, which has tropical Asian and Australasian distribution. Arceuthobium presumably migrated to the New World before the Miocene Epoch. Intensive adaptive radiation occurred into the Pinacea. Some of the species of Abies, Picea, Tsuga, Larix, and Pseudotsuga and 95% of the species of Pinus are parasitized.
Keywords: Dwarf Mistletoe, Arceuthobium, morphological characteristics

How to Get Someone Committed to a Mental Hospital
Two Methods:Procedural CommitmentEmergency Commitment
Committing somebody to a mental hospital is an emotional, gut-wrenching thing to do, but sometimes—for their own good—it must be done. The procedure varies from state to state, but in general, involuntary commitment is done by a doctor, therapist, and/or court. Often, after a suicide attempt, temporary commitment is mandatory. The key is usually that the person has to be a threat to themselves or others. We'll give you some guidelines on how to accomplish this unpleasant but sometimes-necessary task.
Method 1 of 2: Procedural Commitment
1Visit the city or county courthouse. You will need to do this in the district where the person you're asking to commit is living. Ask the clerk for the proper application papers, and fill those out.
- You'll generally be asked to describe the behavior that explains why you believe this person should be formally committed to a mental institution.
2Attend the hearing. If there is not a reason for immediate commitment, a hearing will be scheduled, and the judge will make the final determination, based on any evidence presented. Once the papers are filed, you will have little direct say in what happens, though you will likely be called upon to testify at the hearing.
3Be prepared for complications. The person in question may have serious problems with being placed in a mental institution. If there is not an immediate resolution, and you feel yourself to be in potential danger, have a restraining order placed against the person, to restrict their contact with you. If they violate that, you can have the police and mental health professionals intervene.
- Generally, the respondent (the person in question) has the right to get a second opinion, and if not completely impaired, will likely argue that they should not be committed. Be prepared to talk about the situation with their attorneys, health care professionals, or other advocates. If it comes to this, it would be wise to secure the services of an attorney yourself.
- Cutbacks have shortened hospital stays significantly. If you can participate in discharge planning, insist on real signs of progress, real supports for recovery, and real protections for you and the respondent both.
4Prepare a "Plan B." You can sometimes block a premature discharge by strong advocacy. If you're truly committed to this course of action, you will need to be a strong voice for yourself. If the respondent is somebody close to you, remember that this is, in the long run, in everyone's best interest.Ad
Method 2 of 2: Emergency Commitment
1Contact emergency services. If there is an immediate threat to anybody's safety, call the local emergency services number.
- Describe the situation as it stands, as best you can. Be very clear about the situation, and do not maximize any potential threat. Law enforcement personnel are trained to prevent injury or death to others—sometimes, with tragic consequences, at the expense of the respondent.
- If you're seeking immediate commitment and there's no immediate danger, you'll likely be required to provide evidence of need, whether that be the statement of a licensed physician, or sworn statements by other witnesses that the person in question could be a danger to themselves or to others. If the judge agrees, local law enforcement will detain and escort the person to the local mental facility, and a hearing will be scheduled for further resolution.
2Protect yourself. While emergency services may remove the respondent to a care facility, they may be out again in a day or two, and they may not appreciate their stay at the mental hospital.
- If you are harmed by the person, they will be considered a threat to others, and even more intense treatment will result.
- Thus, one place to begin is by taking out a restraining order against the respondent. If they violate the restraining order, you can call the police—mentioning the mental illness—and they will arrest the person. They may bring in an emergency services team, which will include a physician who can commit the person.
- Even in a criminal justice process there is usually an opportunity for the person to volunteer for a detox or a mental examination.
3Don't get sentimental. The respondent may be very close to you: a parent, spouse, or child, perhaps. If they have a mental illness, you're not hurting them by having them committed—you're giving them an opportunity to heal, or at least get the treatment they need. You're also doing this in a way that will prevent them from causing physical or emotional injury to those they are close to.Ad
We could really use your help!
- Mental illnesses often affect judgment, and as many as half of people with psychotic illnesses—schizophrenia, bipolar, psychotic depression—will not admit or actually do not know that they have a mental illness. They will not seek help for themselves unless they realize their problem. In the meantime, they may tend to "self-medicate." This usually translates to substance abuse.
- Your personal safety is paramount. While the vast majority of people with a mental illness or substance abuse issues are not violent, they are unpredictable and may not be themselves when in a psychotic break or when someone threatens their addiction.
- The person committed will no doubt be discharged in time with prescribed medication, and it will be up to him/her to take it. So there could be fall back.
- It is illegal in most states to have someone committed against their will. You will have to prove that the person in question is a danger to himself or others.
- Treat them like you would anyone else recovering from a serious illness. Give them a get well soon card, a few flowers or support them in their recovery. Maybe see if anyone can help them with their medical costs, no one deserves the stress of being sick, alone and broke.
- Local law enforcement is aware of mental illness, and may have training in dealing with it, or may be able to refer you to somebody who does. You should not let shame or stigma keep you from the police or sheriff's office.
- Heed the warning about involving law enforcement and the consequences falling back on you. It happens all too often.
- Try to peacefully get them to help if you haven't tried already. Bring up a problem they already admit having, such as depression, paranoia or anxiety. Ask them how they plan to get treated for it and see it is reasonable. Ask if you can help in any way. If that fails, then force them to get help.
- Prepare yourself for a possible loss. Suicide is caused by mental illness and is the 10th leading cause of death in America. Understand the stress may be hard on your friend or relative and try to be understanding.
- Never lie. Don't ever try to commit someone who isn't a danger to themselves or others. You might wind up flipping the situation onto yourself when it backfires.
- Before taking the steps toward committing someone else, seek professional mental health help, and counseling for yourself. Examine your own motivations very carefully. Are you suffering from caregiver burn out, or fearful of your loved one becoming a burden to your resources? Are you blowing things out of proportion? Could this problem be resolved by setting stronger personal boundaries?
- Be certain the person can withstand the destabilizing effect that going through the court and commitment process has on his or her life. Will this interfere with their future ability to secure employment, will they lose their job, relationship, housing.
- Realize that committing someone is for a limited time-frame, it could last hours, a few days, probably no more than a few weeks. Once the person is out of crisis, they will be released.
- Maintain your personal safety. If this is a family member or someone you love and care for, you should stay with them as long as you can, but you should not go down with them.
- Your friend or relative will resent you for trying to get them committed. You are not to blame for this behavior, set boundaries and understand anger is part of the acceptance process.
- If done needlessly, this will destabilize their lives. Are you ready to meet the needs of your loved one (long term housing, money, personal time, and commitment) once they are out in a few hours, days, or weeks?
- There is a difference between criminal behavior, and someone with mental illness. Don't try to commit someone who should be going through the jail system.

Port Vale: Adams pays tribute to Alexander
Posted: March 06, 2010|
SHOCK: Macclesfield manager Keith Alexander who died this week, and Vale boss Micky Adams, right.
MICKY Adams has paid a glowing tribute to former Macclesfield Town boss Keith Alexander, who died this week.
The 53-year-old died hours after the Silkmen's 1-0 defeat at Notts County on Tuesday.
Alexander, who suffered a cerebral aneurysm in 2003, collapsed at his Lincoln home, although the cause of death has not been disclosed.
During a distinguished managerial career, spanning more than 16 years, Alexander led League Two side Lincoln City to four successive play-off campaigns between 2002 and 2006.
"The world of football is in shock – it was only a few weeks ago that Keith was standing next to me on the touchline," said Adams.
"He was a football man who worked at the coal face. I don't think he got the jobs he deserved, particularly after what he achieved at Lincoln.
"He never really got the accolades he deserved, but football people knew the job he'd done.
"He worked with very little money, but got the best out of people.
"We knew all about that at Vale Park this season because Macclesfield beat us at their place and earned a draw here in January."
Alexander started his managerial career with the Imps in 1993 when he became the first black manager of a professional club in England.
"He'll be known as a pioneer for black managers, although I don't know why his colour or creed should come into it." added Adams.
"Whatever colour you are, if you're a football man and have an understanding of the game, it should never affect anything.
"But I hope he's an inspiration to other black players to show them they can make that step up to management."
Alexander returned to Lincoln in 2002 – when the Imps were battling to exit administration – following spells with Ilkeston and Northwich.
After leaving Sincil Bank for a second time in 2006, the former striker had a brief spell as Peterborough boss in the 2006/2007 season.
He then became Bury's director of football, and was appointed Macclesfield manager in February 2008. Such is Adams's admiration for Alexander, he compares his managerial achievements to those of Stoke City manager Tony Pulis.
"What Keith achieved at Lincoln is the sort of job Tony Pulis is doing now in establishing Stoke as a Premier League side," said Adams.
"Tony is getting the accolades, and rightly so, and that's what Keith deserved for the work he did. But you don't get the same accolades in the lower leagues that you do in the Premier League.
"I'm not sure there is ever going to be another League Two manager who will make the leap straight into the Premier League."
CLUBS across the country will hold a minute's silence or applause as a tribute to Alexander before tomorrow's matches, while players will wear black armbands.

Cardamom Cookie Recipe
We like an Indian restaurant that serves the most delicious, warm cardamom cookies after every meal. They have the consistency of pecan sandies or shortbread. I've searched the net for the actual recipe and I guess the chef/owner has decided not to release the recipe. Does anyone have a recipe that sounds similar? I wonder what she uses in place of butter since she serves no beef products in her restaurant.

Tom Waits Paved the Way for Shrewd Musicians Cashing in on Literal Commercial Success
Shawn Ahmed | Flickr
Pharrell Williams
"Happy" might be the most popular song of the past year, but Pharrell Williams has been honing his skills and reputation for more than two decades (the man helped write "Rump Shaker" for Wreckx-n-Effect in 1992!). He's scored hits with the Neptunes and N.E.R.D., but Williams quickly became known as the man behind other acts' chart-toppers. Think about it: Without Williams, we might live in a world without "Blurred Lines" or "Get Lucky." But it was "Happy" from Despicable Me 2 that brought him mainstream success and notoriety, so it was time to cash in, like he did with a commercial for Beats by Dre:
But that damn song was too big for just one ad. Fiat decided it wanted to be "Happy," too, though the car company chose to feature Diddy's face with Williams' music:
But like the infomercial hosts say, "Wait, there's more!"
Continue to page three for more from Williams, plus an ad about a penis. Sort of.

Fiat 500X & entry-level Jeep confirmed for 2014
Will be built in Italy
Fiat has announced plans to build two new crossovers at their Melfi plant in Italy.
Following an investment of more than €1 ($1.3) billion, the plant will be able to start assembling an entry-level Jeep and the Fiat 500X. Both models will ride on the company's Small Wide platform and be available with all-wheel drive.
The Jeep will be the first vehicle to go into production and it will be sold globally. The Fiat 500X will follow shortly thereafter and the company hinted that the plant can accommodate two additional models.
Once all the upgrades are completed at the plant, Fiat expects it will produce 1,600 vehicles a day.
Melfi plant to produce two new vehicles
Today at the Fiat plant in Melfi, Chairman John Elkann and CEO Sergio Marchionne –
with Prime Minister Monti in attendance – presented plans for the production of a new
Jeep brand vehicle and a new Fiat brand vehicle beginning in 2014.
Following an investment program of more than €1 billion, Melfi will be one of the most
advanced car assembly plants in the world equipped with the very latest technologies
and managed according to World Class Manufacturing standards. Activities to prepare
the plant for production of the two new models have already begun.
Those activities include modifications to existing production processes to
accommodate the new modular Small Wide platform – one of Fiat-Chrysler's three
principal architectures – which can be easily adapted to produce even larger vehicles.
The platform is configured for product content that complies with U.S. regulatory
standards meaning that vehicles produced at the Melfi plant will be export ready, with
no requirement for further modifications.
The first of the two new models will be a Jeep utility vehicle that represents the brand's
entrance into a new market segment. Melfi will be the only plant in the world to produce
this model and, as for all Jeep products, it will be sold in markets worldwide.
In addition to the new Jeep, Melfi will also produce the new Fiat 500X, the latest
addition to the 500 family which is larger, more spacious and more capable than the
500L launched 3 months ago.
Once the plant upgrades are complete, Melfi will have increased flexibility with the
ability to produce up to four different models on the same assembly line.
The planned investments will also include technological upgrades in all areas of the
plant, including a new metrologically-equipped stamping shop, new panel and body
welding lines, 500 new welding robots and introduction of the latest technologies in the
paint shop. The assembly area will also benefit from major upgrades with completely
new equipment that will enhance work station ergonomics and logistics flows.
Total production capacity based on three shifts will be 1,600 vehicles per day.

A wedding is a time of great joy and happiness for couples and their families. The honeymoon after the wedding is in place to help the couple relax and blossom as a newly married pair. It can sometimes be hard for couples to relax on their honeymoon because of the price and costs involved. Honeymoons can be made more relaxing by choosing an affordable and equally satisfying honeymoon destination. The following are some of the most affordable honeymoon destinations that will give you a honeymoon with romance and excitement without breaking the bank.
Montreal, Quebec
If you've always dreamed of traveling to Paris, but can't quite budget the trip in Montreal is your second best option. If you opt to stay in Old Montreal you can find hotels that are less than $150 per night. This area will give you access to the city's best sightseeing including museums, boutiques and bars. The city has a Parisian feel with the convenience of easy transportation system and many predominantly French-Canadian residents.
Montenegro gives you the European dream vacation that you have always wanted without the high prices that are seen in the bigger tourist areas. It boasts beautiful countryside atmospheres and private suite hostels that start at $75 a night.
Another option for a perfect European getaway is Iceland. It used to be one of Europe's most thriving tourist destinations, making it expensive and unattainable. Iceland has, like most countries, been hit with the recession. They are relying heavily on tourist revenue and have in turn lowered prices on everything from flights to hotels to make visiting this beautiful country more affordable.
Key West, Florida
Another option for newlyweds to stay stateside, Key West provides a tropical atmosphere for a romantic getaway. Comparable to the Bahamas, couples will love the lazy days, wild nights and never ending fun that can be had in Key West. A perfect destination for summer weddings, as rates tend to be lower in the hot summer months.
Oahu, Hawaii
Hawaii is notoriously expensive, but doesn't have to be for lovers looking for an affordable destination. Unlike the other, more tourist driven islands, Oahu has lower prices on day to day activities as well as low rates for hotels. Oahu is able to fit into most destination budgets and is still one of the 50 United States.
Puerto Rico
Do you want a honeymoon in a foreign country? Puerto Rico gives you the option of an exotic, Spanish infused vacation without even having to dig for your old passport or pay extra money for a new one. Since it is a territory of the United States, you won't need to worry about your passport. Flights to this country can be expensive, but most dining, hotels and activities have dropped significantly during the recession.
Sri Lanka
For more adventurous honeymooners, a getaway to the island of Sri Lanka may sound like the perfect opportunity. India can be expensive and, at times, unsafe. Sri Lanka boasts a lower crime rate as well as lower prices on everything from hotels to tours. Transportation on the island is fairly easy, as a train runs the entirety of the island. Airfare is expensive and the plane ride is long, but extremely low prices in the country will save you plenty of honeymooning money. Grab a surfboard, eat with the locals and hike the wonderful Sri Lankan jungles.
With its rich Mediterranean culture, vast beaches- on three different oceans- and airy resorts, this country is much like Greece before it was hit with a wave of tourists. A stay in Turkey can be almost half the price of a stay in Greece and this country offers almost identical amenities, exploring options and exciting activities. Greece boasts island beaches; however Turkey also offers beautiful beach resorts on the mainland, at a fraction of the price.

Shiny, deep green foliage. Smaller and finer than Rudbeckia 'Goldsturm'.Longer blooming season, July to October. Six weeks after 'Goldsturm' is brown, this plant is at it's peak! Excellent cut flower. Provides seeds in the winter for birds and nectar for butterflies. Beautiful and versatile!
|Rudbeckia fulgida var. fulgida LP50 - 50 per flat
|Rudbeckia fulgida var. fulgida - 72 per flat
Height24-30 Inches
Spread1-2 Feet
Spacing12 Inches
Bloom ColorGolden Yellow
USDA Hardiness Zone 5-7
This is an excellent late blooming form of Black eyed Susan. Smaller flowers than Rudbeckia fulgida "Goldstrum" but longer blooming, going from mid-July to October. 2-2.5' with shiny green foliage. Easy to grow, asking only for good drainage and good sunlight, this is a great addition to the late season garden. gardenNJ.com
Black-eyed Susans need little introduction, for whether lining the roadside or the garden path, they are some of the most cherished and recognizable wildflowers. They offer an award-winning combination of bold, eye-catching flowers and an easy disposition that has made the genus popular here and abroad. These are true meadow and prairie plants that are perfectly at ease with ornamental grasses, blazing stars, and coneflowers, among others, and they have helped to popularize a new trend in gardening based on a prairie aesthetic, characterized by bold sweeps of grasses intermixed with colorful drifts of late-blooming perennials. They are good nectar plants visited by a host of butterflies and other insects, and when in bloom look as if draped in a quilt of chocolate and gold.
Orange Coneflower has become one of the top selling perennials in the United States, and it is no wonder, for this is a superlative plant for massing, meadows, or the border. If the highway yellow color is hard on your eyes, try Green-eyed Coneflower, a larger, more informal species with soft yellow blooms. William Cullina, Wildflowers
Grow in full sun average to dry soil with good drainage. Water well on planting and regularly until established. Drought tolerant.

Ahh thanks for pointing that out Dasha! It's fixed now. Good catch.
Th@nks f0r t@b d0wnl0@d link! M@n y0u r0cK!!!!
Brian…. this one was slow enough for me to get almost the first time. Good video!
@coltgrabber - Good! I'm glad that you were able to follow this. I'm going to be making lots more of these introductory type videos.
Brian, I just discovered this site and saw a couple of your lessons, (pentatonic Blues scales) and this one and I must say you are a very impressive teacher. Thank you!
@Bioswami Thanks man. I honestly never thought of myself as a teacher before I started putting these lessons up on YouTube… I didn't think I had the patience to actually teach guitar - but I'm glad you are finding these lessons useful. Thanks for the kind feedback.
let me put it this way.. for someone who picked up the guitar on his own and never had lessons as such.. these are a godsend.
Can I make a request for a lesson on connecting up all the different patterns for the pentatonic scales running the length of the neck? I think that would make this series pretty complete!
Hey Brian, quick question, I played a mexico tele (lefty) at the guitar shop yesterday, brand new was a scratch n dent had 1 chip in the paint not a huge deal, they usually go for $499, this one was $379, is a tele going to give me that strong bluesy feel and sound? maple fretboard, sounded pretty good too, say more than a strat or les paul? it sounded pretty good but did need some TLC PS I played a strat and the tele felt a lot better to me.
to add to my previous inquiry, I really like the G&L teles as well, what would brian choose and why?
@1976lespaul - I love the sound of a Telecaster, they have a better sounding overdrive (to me) than a Strat, however, the Strat is the best playing guitar out there.. and definitely the most versatile. The one blues guy that immediately jumps to mind in regards to Telecasters is Albert Collins (a.k.a. the master of the Telecaster) - check him out if you haven't.. to hear the tone he got out of his guitar (his Tele had a humbucker pickup in the neck position).
So to answer your question, yes a Telecaster can give you a very bluesy sound, but bending string on a Telecaster aren't as easy as bending strings on a Strat - I think the tone of the Tele beats a Strat though.
Regarding G&L, I honestly don't know much about them - If it were me, I'd stick to the Mexican Tele
Thanks Brian, G&L is the company Leo fender started after he sold fender to whoever he sold it to. he had no say on the manufacturing or anything so he started G&L, they make some quality instruments.
Greetings again Brian, played a MIM Arctic white lefty strat today, guitar center wasnt busy, empty really, plugged into a peavey 2-12 combo,I was able to really test drive this guitar all tones, all amp settings…. I was really impressed with the comfort and the tone, never really tried a strat,for blues they are the standard, now that im playin lots o blues, I just may have to purchase it! Thanks again G
Nice! Those Mexican strats are great guitars (and half the price of the US Strat). They're pretty much the exact same guitar but the US Strat goes up in value over time where the Mexican Strat really doesn't. In terms of playability, they're pretty much identical. Just saw Jimmie Vaughn play last week and he was playing a Mexican Strat (he has his own signature Tex-Mex strat). Yeah, as for playing blues, it's hard to argue with the Stratocaster - Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Hendrix, Robert Cray, and the list goes on and on.
Tex-Mex start, that is pretty cool, Its nice to chat and relate to someone who is as passionate about music and guitars as I am. at times,quality lefties are hard to find,I find a nice one and its mine, when i first started playing 20+ years ago lefties were non existent, walk into a shop and wow 300-500 guitars….and maybe a lefty or not.and dont forget the guitar books are all transcribed for righties, and yes when you are learning, everything is upside down. I do have an Ibanez RG5EX-1 that I purchased new a few weeks ago(flat pewter). its not super bluesy by any stretch, but boy does it have many tone options, and a great neck, and its 20lbs lighter than my Les Paul, amps today can give anything a bluesy feel, I see an arctic white strat in my future, Thanks Brian! (<:
wonderful! I have already got the feel for this lick, and should be ok with a bit more practice.. Thanks
just finished lesson had great craic
Nice and easy vid! How do you get this sound from your amp? thanks
The links are broken again - unfortunately.
Otherwise a very good lesson

What about emissions from the military? Either in routine operations (are these counted in aviation & transportation)? Or in war?
Yes. Double counting is always a hazard when analysing GHG emissions sources.
Perhaps we did not adequately explain in slide 1, paragraph 2 that several of the emissions percentages in the other 14 slides (e.g. residential and commercial buildings) are subsets of the 25-30% emissions from power plants as these sources use electricity and heat from the power sector.
We felt that it would be odd to omit power plants and so included them as the biggest 'umbrella' source, then drilled down into more specific sources. We hope the new explanation clarifies this.
Didn't anyone who was on this study have a calculator? If you put the power plants(the only one with a range) at the lowest stated level (25%), the percentages add up to 106.5%.
such old posts here, why is this still news online?
have we nothing better to talk about?
No gases can be GHG. That is just imaginary. If there were GHGE then upper region of our climatic atmosphere would be warmer than on the surface of the EARTH. details in the blog: devbahadurdongol.blogspot.com
I have often seen much higher figures for the production of cement. The amount of CO2 released from the chemical process of making cement is quoted as 6% and another 2-3% for the energy to produce the cement. The latest European Union/JBL report is backed up by the USGS:
CO2 emissions from the cement clinker production process, the largest of non-combustion sources of CO2, increased globally by 11%, mainly due to a 16% increase in China. Since 1990 these emissions increased from 0.5 to 1.4 billion tonnes of CO2. Including related combustion emissions, the cement industry accounts globally for about 8% of global CO2 emissions, a share that has doubled since 1990.
The figure quoted in your report is half this. Please can you explain.
Andrew Waugh
With what has happened in the Gulf oil spill,why haven't we by now changed to a newer cleaner energy source e.g electric combustion.We could eat more conservatively with greater emphasis on following the diet charts of nutritionists so a short amount of the good food sources are farmed one or twice a year or vice versa with meat production at a premium.
Thanks for the quick reply :-)
I am 50% satisfied, because I'm afraid I did not phrase out the question well enough. It is clear that within the "oil and gras production" emissions, only the upstream emissions are counted, not the dowstream. BUT: in the fertilizers it 'seems' the downstream (nitrogen oxide) as well as the upstream (extraction and production of fertilizers) are counted. If this is so, the extraction of oil for the production of pesticides would be counted twice, right?
Thanks a lot for helping to understand better ;-)

BERLIN (AP) - The German subsidiary of Fort Worth-based Moncrief
Oil is suing Russian energy giant OAO Gazprom over ownership rights
to a Siberian gas field bought in the late 1990s.
Moncrief Oil International says it filed the lawsuit in a
Tarrant County state district court in Fort Worth over Gazprom's
use of confidential information in a 2005 lawsuit. That previous
suit was thrown out of court.
Moncrief says it obtained 40 percent exclusive ownership of the
Yuzhno Russkoye gas fields from Gazprom.
In exchange, it provided the Russian energy conglomerate with
know-how and business plans. The value of the stake is estimated at
around 8½ billion dollars.

Public Wi-Fi is ubiquitous now. Nearly every coffee shop, fast food restaurant, and airport offers it. It's even hard to find a public park without Wi-Fi. But with that convenience comes risk. There are several ways you could be the target of an attack via public Wi-Fi.
The first is called a Man-in-the-Middle attack. This is when someone collects login information or other personal data as it is passed between your computer and access points. A hacker can then go back later and log in as you or use your information, such as credit card numbers.
Similarly, someone might set up what's known as an Evil Twin. This is an access point that provides free public Wi-Fi but is also collecting all your personal information while you use it. The network name might be very similar to the network the store offers and could even use the same password. The perpetrator might even position the Evil Twin access point closer to where people are using computers so that the signal is stronger than the legitimate network. Stronger networks will show up on your computer at the top of the list of available networks.
Less common now, but a growing threat, are Wi-Fi viruses. These are spread via the Wi-Fi network and, like a regular computer virus, can cause any manner of destruction.
The key to safe computing on public Wi-Fi comes down to a mixture of common sense and vigilance. Always be aware of what you are connecting to and what you are doing over that connection. Don't expose usernames, passwords or other personal information if it can wait until you are on a private network.
The only true protection for public wifi is to use a VPN service. This will encrypt all traffic to/from your computer while connected. Most personal VPN services start at around 5 dollars a month. Using them just involves clicking an icon. Once started all traffic from your computer runs over an encrypted tunnel to the VPN provider, thus preventing snooping anywhere in between.
Another option is to use a secure session service such as the one offered by IronKey on their USB thumb drives. The downside to this is it only encrypts the traffic from the browser itself. If your email is sending/receiving in the background someone could still snoop your email password. The most likely snoop will be someone using Firesheep or FaceNiff, which focuses mainly on web browser cookies for people on facebook or other popular websites.

Poll: 53% in N.S. oppose fracking4/11/2013
Nova Scotians are almost evenly divided on fracking, says a new poll.
A recent Corporate Research Associates Inc. survey found that 53 per cent of residents oppose hydraulic fracturing even if the province had adequate regulations in place to protect the environment.
Another 39 per cent have no problem with the controversial extraction method, which is used in shale gas exploration, while the remaining eight per cent were undecided.
Don Mills, chief executive officer of Corporate Research Associates, said Wednesday the results show it will be a challenge for government and the industry to promote shale gas development in the province.
This has become an emotional issue, rather than a rational discussion, Mills said in an interview. At some point, we have to get back to a rational discussion.
Fracking uses large volumes of water and chemicals to fracture layers of rock and release trapped oil and gas. Opponents say the process could be harmful to groundwater, a claim the industry denies.
Acceptance of fracking was highest in Halifax Regional Municipality, at 43 per cent. Forty per cent of Cape Breton residents had no problem with the practice, while 35 per cent of mainland residents agreed.
Residents also had mixed views based on age, with 47 per cent of people in the 35-to-54 age group saying fracking is acceptable. In comparison, 41 per cent of Nova Scotians ages 18 to 34 said they agreed with the practice, while 30 per cent of those age 55 and over had the same view.
A 2011 poll in New Brunswick had similar results, although the question was worded differently, Mills said.
That province recently introduced new regulations for shale gas exploration.
A reviewing of fracking is underway in Nova Scotia, with the results expected in mid-2014. In the meantime, the government wont approve the process to be used in the province.
Mills said it is difficult to have a debate about a potential shale gas industry when so many people say they oppose fracking even if adequate regulations are in place.
The problem we have in this region is that we have no history of hydro-fracking. This is something that has happened for decades in other jurisdictions.
The director of the Sierra Club of Canadas Atlantic chapter said the poll results show Nova Scotians dont think shale gas development is worth the risk.
To me, this means people simply do not believe that fracking can be done in a way that protects the environment, Gretchen Fitzgerald said in an email.
Fitzgerald said she thinks the poll would have found even greater opposition to fracking if the question hadnt asked respondents to assume the province had stringent regulations in place.
She said she expects fracking to be an issue during the upcoming provincial election.
The telephone poll was conducted with 400 Nova Scotians from Feb. 7 to Feb. 20. The results have a margin of error of 4.9 percentage points, 95 times out of 100.
