Waterless Cookware - Steam Cook Your
Food To Perfection
Waterless cookware is perhaps one of the best ways to cook food quickly and efficiently. Cooking with steam will allow vital nutrients to remain in the food. Not only will your food be healthier, it will take less time to cook.
Nutrients are commonly lost in the cooking process. This means many important vitamins that your body requires will be loss before the food gets to your plate. Waterless cookware provides an affordable way for consumers to eat fresh, wholesome foods that are cooked to perfection without loosing beneficial nutrients.
The boiling point of water is 212 degrees; this is also true with steam. However, steam can be pressurized to such a point as to achieve very high cooking temperatures. In the past, specialized equipment was required to obtain this degree of steam heat. Luckily, for consumers today, cookware is available that will evenly and effectively steam cook foods.
Begin by cooking food on medium heat, once the whistle sounds, close the valve and turn down the heat to simmer on low. An added benefit is the process of stack cooking. By stacking the cookware, you can cook both the meat and vegetables at the same time. The many positive reviews that may be found online are encouraging. By simply browsing the internet, consumers will find numerous reviews from individuals who actually own the product.
Waterless cookware is most often constructed of surgical stainless steel, as this will guarantee years of practical use. Multi-layered pots and pans assure even cooking and heat dispersal. Some of the essential elements used in the manufacturing process are chrome, nickel, manganese, aluminum, silicon, iron and copper. The handles are designed to resist breaking and are guaranteed not to transfer harmful heat.
In the past, this type of cookware set was purely for the professional cook or chef. The high-end price would normally scare the average consumer away. Selling for as much as $2000, only a restaurant could afford one. Consumers can now buy an affordable waterless cookware set that will perform as well as any designer brand. For those individuals who are on a restricted diet or have serious health concerns regarding nutrition, there has never been a more appropriate way to cook food.
Prices are moderate with most waterless cookware selling for under $200. These sets will commonly include up to 17 pieces including the lids. Consumers who desire to eat a healthier diet will benefit greatly from this type of cookware. Healthier food and a more efficient cooking method makes this system a must have for serious cooks.

Robert Pattinson On A Cocaine Bender?!
Photo Credit: TatianaK / JosiahW / Splash News / (C) www.splashnews.com
Star Magazine claims Robert Pattinson went on a cocaine bender last month. Does this surprise you? It did me, but Internio said it's obvious the man is a cokehead. I mean he is really skinny... and pale... and he stays up all night.
Regarding one particular night, a source told Star, quote, "Rob was doing coke all night... he tried to be subtle by scooping the coke out of a baggie with a key, but he was still in plain view of others in the room."
Based on the rumors, this sounds like a regular occurrence for Rob. I really hope he and Zac Efron aren't hanging out getting all cokey together. : /
Ke$ha Admits She's "Kind Of Rapey"
While on with Conan O'Brien last night, Ke$ha was asked about "dating shy guys." This led her to admit that she can be "kind of rapey." Conan was dumbfounded. It is rather shocking, and seriously, Ke$ha is the only one that could get away with saying something like that.

Virtualization software vendor VMware Inc. is teaming up with a host of leading IT companies to work on open virtualization standards, the company announced Monday. As part of those efforts, VMware will provide its partners with access to its VMware ESX Server source code and interfaces under a program it's calling VMware Community Source.
VMware's partners include Advanced Micro Devices Inc. (AMD), BMC Software Inc., Computer Associates International Inc., Dell Inc., Hewlett-Packard Co., IBM Corp., Intel Corp., Novell Inc. and Red Hat Inc. The partners will be able to influence the future development of VMware's ESX Server through a collaborative development model, according to a company release.
Under a royalty-free license, the VMware partners will be able to access the virtualization software server's source code and they can contribute shared code or create binary modules to help with interoperability and integration. There will be an architecture board to help manage partners' contributions and suggestions.
Focused on x86 server virtualization, VMware is an independent subsidiary of storage giant EMC Corp.
Last week, at EMC's analyst day in New York, Diane Greene, VMware's president and one of the company's founders, said that she expects VMware to clear between $350 million and $400 million in revenue, with enterprise customer numbers reaching 20,000 this year. VMware is growing as fast as Oracle Corp. did in the 80s, and hit the US$100 million revenue mark about as quickly, she said.
The company has "millions" of users at the desktop level and its software has the same code base for both its desktop and server products, meaning PC users can easily scale up to the server level, she added.
Last week, Greene talked about the need to further "proliferate the VMware platform" and to create a "virtualization ecosystem." Today's move fits right into that strategy.
As its first contribution to VMware Community Source, the company will make available its Virtual Machine Hypervisor Interfaces (VMHI) framework, according to the company. VMware defines hypervisors as a base component of virtual infrastructure which facilitate system partitioning.
The company hopes collaboration around VMHI will focus on the development of cross-platform operational and management frameworks, cooperative virtualization APIs (application programming interfaces) between hypervisors and operating systems, and virtual machine formats enabling virtual machine migration and recovery across platforms, according to the release.
VMware is providing more information about opening up VMHI at http://www.vmware.com/standards and about joining VMware Community Source at http://www.vmware.com/communitysource.

Corvallis 104.3 FM • Hood River 91.9 FM • Portland 90.7 FM
Johnson Creek flows 26 miles from its headwaters near the Sandy River to its confluence with the Willamette River, passing through five cities (Gresham, Portland, Milwaukie, Damascus, and Happy Valley) and two counties (Clackamas and Multnomah) along the way. Once a favorite camping and fishing spot for Native people, the creek was degraded by decades of abuse when white settlers took over the landscape. For years, Johnson Creek was known primarily as an eyesore that frequently flooded. Over the last few decades a growing number of people have become determined to right past wrongs in the Johnson Creek Watershed and return the creek to something of its former natural glory.

Analyzing body composition can prevent serious diseases – calculate your body fat percentage
By: Dr Charles Fiscella | Published Thursday, December 20, 2012, 3:57 PM | Updated Thursday, December 20, 2012, 3:57 PM
Calculate your body fat
Too much body fat is a major contributor to chronic health problems such as heart disease, strokes, diabetes, cancer, arthritis and many pain syndromes. Determining how much fat (% body fat) as well as the areas of fat distribution (abdomen, hips, and thighs) can help determine risk factors related to these diseases.
Height and weight charts provide an inconclusive assessment of body composition. Even those who are of normal weight can still be over-fat. Many who have lost weight through dieting have unfortunately shed that weight by reducing water and muscle, leaving too much unhealthy fat tissue inside their body. People of normal weight can also have disease risks similar to those who are overtly overweight.
There are many contributing factors to an unhealthy body composition. Common causes include lack of physical activity and exercise, poor diets which include foods high in sugar and bad fats, excess alcohol, some medications (especially steroids), hormone imbalances and unhealthy stress.
Modern body composition analysis instruments can accurately determine the percentage of body fat and its location. Additionally, a complete body composition analysis will account for all of the body's components, which when taken together, make up a person's total body weight.
The human body is composed of a variety of different substances including water, metabolically active lean tissues - such as muscles, bones, connective tissues, body organs, and fats. Body fat includes both essential and non-essential fat stores. Essential fat is vital for normal body function and can be found in organs and tissues such as nerves, lungs, liver, brain, and mammary glands. Essential fat is necessary for normal body function, while the non-essential fat serves no real purpose and is likely to contribute to disease. Non-essential fat is stored primarily within adipose tissue.
A thorough body composition analysis should include many measurements and calculations including the total body weight, abdominal circumference, hip circumference, the waist-to-hip ratio, the body mass index, the basal metabolic rate, the fat-free body mass, the percent body fat, the total body water, the intracellular water, the extracellular water, and the phase angle.
This information, along with other laboratory findings. can then be used as the basis for making important lifestyle changes for better health and longevity.

4th FloorBlock A, Centre House
Wood Lane
Friday 27th April 2012
A piece of Staffordshire's famous pottery is to be presented to New York police officers ahead of a charity boxing event to raise money for disabled children.
A unique hand-crafted vase will be handed over to NYPD Deputy Chief of Police, Brian McCarthy, at a reception at Staffordshire Police headquarters on April 27.
It will be the first time Staffordshire Police meet their US opponents, prior to the Battle of the Badges boxing event, taking place at Fenton Manor Sports Complex, Stoke-on-Trent, after the reception.
The event is being held to raise funds Stoke-based charity Caudwell Children and the Teddy Atlas Children's Foundation.
Event organiser, Pc Colin Gay, will be there to see the vase, which has been specially designed by local fine art painter Lawrence Woodhouse and made by Ainsley China.
Pc Gay said: "The vase is one of a kind and we are thrilled to be awarding it to the officers coming over for this special event.
"It has taken over three months for the vase to be completed and we can't thank Lawrence and Ainsley China enough for their hard work in creating such a magnificent piece.
"It's a great local memento for the New York and Los Angeles Officers to take back to their station in recognition of their support for Caudwell Children and the Teddy Atlas Foundation."
The Battle of the Badges event, which raised more than £22,000 last year, will attract more than 70 businesses from across the region.
Tickets for the event are still available. For more information call Gareth Aston at Caudwell Children on 01782 600113 or email email@example.com.

Morgan Freeman: I'm not a grumpy old man
by Luxury.net
Morgan Freeman admits that he can get cantankerous at times.
The 75-year-old Academy Award-nominated actor's schedule is normally packed with professional obligations.
Morgan manages to keep his cool most of the time, but confesses that he buckles when he is not well rested.
"I have moments. I think generally I'm easy going for the most part but sometimes in the morning if I didn't sleep well I can be kind of grumpy," he told USA Today.
"But my grumpiness doesn't have that much to do with my dissatisfaction with my station in life."
Morgan is currently promoting his new movie The Magic of Belle Isle and is preparing for the release of his next film The Dark Knight Rises later in the month.
The thespian doesn't foresee an end to his career.
"No! What good is that? You want to retire from a job you're not that all enamoured with," he shared. "I love what I do. I want to keep doing it till I can't get out of bed doing it."
Morgan's not concerned about aging.
"I don't worry about it but I work hard at preventing it," he explained. "I try to keep my mind active. I'm a solitaire and puzzle addict. I exercise religiously."

Hang a Right at Jupiter
For space navigators, the best course to a distant object is never a straight line.
- By Michael Milstein
- Air & Space magazine, January 2001
NASA/JHU Applied Physics Laboratory
(Page 4 of 6)
The NEAR team was rudely reminded of this risk in December 1998, when NEAR fired its thrusters to enter orbit around Eros. For reasons that still aren't clear, the spacecraft went into a tumble. In what Farquhar now benignly calls an "unscheduled fuel dump," it started spewing propellant, then shut itself off. For a tense day, the team feared the craft had been lost. In fact, it had reverted to a backup "safe mode," aiming its solar panels at the sun to recharge its batteries, which had taken it out of contact with Earth. Controllers finally reestablished contact, but the mishap threw NEAR far off course.
Fortunately, Dunham, well-prepared navigator that he is, had devised a plan to use in the unlikely event the maneuver failed. It took another year to loop back to Eros, and a little more delta-V, but the spacecraft finally made it, getting as close as three miles from Eros this October.
"You should always have a contingency plan and a generous fuel supply," Dunham says with a satisfied grin.
Extra fuel wouldn't have been much help to the hapless engineers in charge of JPL's Mars Climate Orbiter, whose story serves as the great cautionary tale of modern space navigation.
Launched in December 1998 to study the Martian atmosphere and relay signals from the Mars Polar Lander, which followed it, the Mars orbiter had an idiosyncrasy that flustered navigators: Unlike the Mars Global Surveyer that preceded it, the craft had solar panels that stuck out to one side. The lopsided design created a kind of sail that caught the solar wind, torquing the spacecraft around. Controllers had to counteract this force every day using onboard reaction wheels—spinning flywheels that could absorb the unwanted momentum. But the flywheels could store up only so much energy before they too had to be "unloaded" by a thruster firing in the opposite direction. And heavy use of the reaction wheels required the spacecraft to fire its thrusters 10 times more often than the navigators had expected.
Every time the thrusters fired, the navigators calculated the spacecraft's change in trajectory. But because of a procedural mixup that began with a parts subcontractor, the calculations used English units instead of metric. The firings were actually more than four times stronger than they should have been, pushing the spacecraft slowly and steadily off course. "Even very small thrusts over time can really add up," explains JPL's Watkins.
Wandering off course should not in itself have spelled disaster. But in this case, the other essential ingredient of space navigation—precise tracking—also broke down. Navigators typically keep track of a spacecraft just as Farquhar's team follows NEAR: by watching the Doppler shift in its signal. But this method only measures the distance in one direction: along the line of sight between Earth and the spacecraft. It does a poor job measuring the spacecraft's motion out of that line, which unfortunately was the direction of the Mars orbiter's error.
Had the spacecraft been carrying a camera during its final approach, it would have been obvious from the photographs of the Martian moons that the craft wasn't where it was supposed to be. But photography wasn't one of the mission's scientific objectives, and cameras were left behind as an unnecessary luxury. Cost considerations also had led NASA to allow a supplementary tracking system known as VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) to fall into disuse. If the navigators had had the giant VLBI antennas on opposite sides of Earth, they could have used triangulation to fix the spacecraft's position in three-dimensional space. But only the line-of-sight Doppler tracking was available, so mission control didn't know the craft was off course until it was effectively too late.

SharpPros: VC Cons: none Other Thoughts: I have to say this is a very impressive lens for the price. It has allowed me to get some great shots of my toddler who never sits still. Did you find this review helpful? |
Poor focusingPros: Price. Cons: I purchased the lens based on many exciting reviews on the internet praising its sharpness. However, when I received my lens, I was very disappointed with its focusing. Every picture I took with the lens came out very soft. In fact images were worse than with plastic kit lens. Other Thoughts: Warranty repair improved performance of the lens but not to the expected level. Next time I will buy at local store. Did you find this review helpful? |
Excellent quality and Excellent pricePros: This is a great wide angle lense for low light situations. The color reproduction is excellent and is much better than a Sigma lense. The autofocus is very fast and sharp -especially in low light. I have used this lense while taking pictures at concerts and it really made a difference it terms of lighting. Cons: While the build quality is good, it's not great. There is too much plastic on the lense, which might make it less durable than the Sigma EX series. Also, the gold ring around the lense is rather cheap feeling. Other Thoughts: The price and quality of this lense makes it an excellent deal. While it is not up to Canon's L series, it is still a great choice that surpasses Canon's other lenses. The wide angle and 2.8 f-stop make this lense suitable for most shoots. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great LensPros: Image Quality, Built Quality, Auto Focus, VC / IS Works Good in Low Light Cons: None Other Thoughts: Build quality is much better than the previous version. Good IQ in all focal length range, much better than Canon 17-40 L lens. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great single lens for all-purpose usePros: Very sharp and good contrast. Low chromatic aberration (given that it is inexpensive, fairly wide angle and fast). Cons: Not as quiet AF as Canon USM or Sigma HSM but not so bad as to make you wince. Noticeable, though. Wish the zoom was a little smoother; perhaps will smooth out a bit with age and use (catches just a tiny bit at the wide end but only sometimes). It's not a Canon L lens so live with it and smile at the price. Other Thoughts: I read everything I could on competing products and decided this was the best compromise for a single lens solution. I'm very glad I went this way. Later, I can buy more specialized glass but this is hard to resist. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Deutsche Bank (DB) lowered its price target on DIRECTV (NASDAQ:DTV) to $55 from $58, while reaffirming its "Buy" rating on the stock.
The bank wrote that DTV benefits from its higher-end customer base, leading brand, advantaged distribution and fast growing LatAm.
"Enthusiasm is moderated by the potential impact of slowing growth or greater Latam competition on valuation, any housing recovery might disproportionately benefit cable, and the higher '12 /'13 capex investment pushes off FCF," DB said in a note to clients.
On Wednesday, the stock rose 1.6% to $46.62. The shares have been trading between $39.82 and $53.40 over the past year.

SA celebrates Heritage Day
Sep 25, 2012 |
Sowetan |
HERITAGE Day celebrations kicked off at the weekend with the National Heritage Council holding an awards ceremony at the Birchwood Hotel, where cultural activists, artists and intellectuals were honoured. King Zwelithini celebrated King Shaka Day on Sunday at George Goch Stadium with a feast of cultural activities, while President Jacob Zuma commemorated Alexandra's 100 years at the local stadium.
Sep 25, 2012
"SA celebrates Heritage Day" yes so much has been said, money wasted, but nothing learnt. The question I am asking is did we inherit anything positive from our Four Fathers. There is no more respect, we careless about each other, we just need more power for ourselves. Walking around naked and drunk is not our heritage i guess, but if it is yours, shame on youReport Abuse

First week in Startup Sauna
It's Friday and I'm exhausted. This was the first week of Aalto University's tough startup incubation program, the Startup Sauna. This is what they say that happens there:
"During the Startup Sauna, the selected teams work intensively to develop their business model, technology & its applications, and early market entry. The teams graduating will be prepared to seek for initial investments and first customers. Startups will go through blood, sweat and tears to become the next success story."
And this is what really happened:
"Startups go through blood, sweat and tears to become the next success story."
Ok, ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, but any one of the 18 companies would agree with me that this was no ball dance. On Tuesday we started to train on two minute pitches. We trained, trained and trained, were given some tough love by the coaches, and then trained again.
On Wednesday, we were thrown on stage at Slush 2011, in front of a demanding audience, and judged by some of industry's finest. After my pitch I was rewarded with advise not to keep my hands in my pocket, otherwise they will be tied behind my back for the next pitch
Ramine Darabiha had advised us on networking, so of course we had to take part in the evening program, too, mingling with the Angry Bird hotshots, VCs and other smart people until wee hours. Thursday continued at Slush, with two of our Sauna team making it to Slush 20, congrats to InBelly and Appscale, our lovely ladies.
Today was all about Slush wrap-up, learnings, feedback, and Business Models. For Mobile Brain Bank, finding the right business model is not self evident. I have started to fill in a business model canvas, writing, erasing, and re-writing again.
This is what the Startup Sauna seems to be about, working your behind off to achieve the perfect outcome.
Have a good weekend, people

…be your own man
It's hard to believe, but the awards season is upon movie-lovers. It's a season of triumphs, tragedies, and oh so few comedies (what's up with that?). Plus we have the ever-raging battle of Oscars vs. Golden Globes.
Whether or not you were aware of this sibling (or possibly distant cousin) rivalry, it's real and the Oscars have landed another blow to their small screen loving cousin.
What heinous act have they committed? …you might ask. They've gone and moved their timeline up two whole weeks. GASP!!!
For those lost on why this is a slap in the face to the Golden Globes, let me explain: there is a (probably not entirely true) belief that the outcome of the Golden Globes has an influence on the Oscar nominations.
This calendar shift has many thinking that the Golden Globes are getting shoved into obscurity. What these "many" fail to realize is that Oscar nominations were in fact due before the Golden Globe ceremonies last year as well.
Also, we don't watch the Golden Globes to see what the forecast for the Oscars is. We watch to see just what they'll let Ricky Gervais get away with this year, and who exactly celebrities thank after they've had a few glasses of champagne.
Okay, so the interested among us also like to guess at Oscar nominations too, but will this shift in schedules really impact that? No, and it's hard to believe that's true for anyone else either.
Whether or not this was a logistical act of warfare by the Academy against the Globes may never be known, but I can't imagine (regardless of motive) that it will truly have much impact. However, I invite them to surprise me, preferably through unforeseen nomination choices. Do your worst.

Ricky Gervais – very good. Winners who have been drinking all night – dangerously entertaining. Prestige and connection with mass public – no comparison. I'd like to think Oscar doesn't spend much time worrying about the Globes…

I just spent five days with my Mom and sisters at this location. The unit was as described - all photos are accurate. We had a very comfortable, quiet stay. It was great to see some of our group as they golfed the 16th hole. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. The owners were great to work with and everything went smoothly from the first email, through the payment process, to the check out. We will definitely stay here again if in the Branson area and will recommend it to friends if they are going to be there. Very easy to find in Branson and the unit was easy to find within the complex.Recommended for: Girls getaway, families with teenagers, age 55+.

We just returned from a stay at this condo. The owners were great to work with and I had alot of questions! The gate had our name and it was no problem getting in. The condo slept 6 of us comfortably and with 2 full baths we had plenty of space. The kitchen is stocked and ready to go and the patio has a great view of the golf course and we even had ducks come up for bread. More than one nap was taken on the lounge chair. We will be staying at this property anytime we return to the area. Much cheaper and better than a hotel and the location is wonderful. Its about 2 miles off the strip and if you are taking in Silver Dollar City or the Branson Belle you are on the way without traffic.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, girls getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, age 55+, sightseeing.

Just got back and can't wait to go again! My family of 6 was very comfortable here. It was truly home away from home. Pointe Royale is beautiful community. Owners were very easy to work with and everything was as stated in listing. Close to everything in Branson, but yet far enough away to get relaxed.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers, adventure seekers, age 55+, sightseeing.

We enjoyed our stay at this condo. It is not new and the furnishings are somewhat dated, but the unit was very clean and comfortable. We were in Branson in the off-season so it was very quiet and relaxing in this development. I would recommend staying at this unit, the owner's were very easy to work with.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with young children, families with teenagers.

The condo was very nice and well maintained. It is a great location - close to everything. We liked that it was a gated community. We were able to bring our jet ski and enjoy Table Rock Lake as well. My kids enjoyed the indoor and outdoor pools. Nice golf course.Recommended for: Families with young children, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

This condo unit was located on the ground floor bordering the 16th hole of Pointe Royale Golf course. Excellent views of the golf course and small stream. Location was convenient to all Branson attractions. The condo is in good shape but definitely showing it's age. Keyless entry system was nice, no keys to keep track of. Toilet in master bath would not flush properly. TV in master bedroom was very small (10" and very old) and the 2nd bedroom did not even have a TV. Flat panel TV's would be a very nice upgrade. The wireless internet worked very well thoughout our stay. Access to the swimming pool at the clubhouse was very nice. The golf course was in very good condition and a solid layout. We had a great time in Branson and the condo unit and with some minor upgrades this condo would be an excellent value unit. Thank you for the use during our stay.Recommended for: Adventure seekers.

Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) Program
Drumlin Farm offers two CSA programs, one in the summer, and another in the winter. Our CSA provides a mutually beneficial, season-long relationship between the farm and our shareholders. There are many great reasons to join our CSA, including:
- Knowing exactly where you food comes from.
- Getting a season's worth of sustainable, delicious fruits and vegetables. Learn more about our growing practices.
- Interacting with the farmers and like minded community members.
- Spending time in the fields to assist in the day-to-day operations.
- Learning more about the farm and its food through the Weekly Beet, an email sent directly to our shareholders a few days before each pickup.
- Knowing that you are helping a small, local farm maintain its day-to-day operations.
- Getting a great "return on investment". We strive to give shareholders 20 percent more than their initial investment.
Each week during the season, shareholders pick up a robust share of sustainably grown and freshly harvested produce. We plant over 120 different crops on 15 acres of land. A share in the height of summer will likely include lettuce, carrots, beets, eggplant, peppers, summer squash, new potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, onions, radishes, herbs, and more. In the fall, shares are brimming with sweet potatoes, winter squash, broccoli, parsnips, kale, and more.
Shareholders may also purchase a Pick-Your-Own (PYO) Share (summer only), a Greens Share (winter only), and special add-on shares with other local farms such as apples, eggs, or cranberries to name just a few. Looking to dig in deeper? Sign up for our Work Share program to reduce the cost of a CSA share.
