A person must know their own value. As we pay tribute to our women and men who serve on the frontline of long term care, keep in mind the best way to communicate how you feel about them and their service is to stop a CNA in action this week and look them in the eye and say, "I know I don't say it enough, no one possibly could, but you matter and you are a valued part of this team!"
I have always been a person who never just dips a toe in the water. I jump in whole hog! Most of the time it works very well for me. I've been this way as long as I can remember.
Nationally recognized speakers and educators will be featured Wednesday and Thursday at the 14th annual meeting of the National Association of Health Care Assistants. The event, which includes the group's 17th annual "Key to Quality" awards banquet Thursday, takes place at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa, OK, under the banner "Heart, Soul and Rock-n-Roll: A Tribute to Caregivers." For more information on the event, visit the conference page at the NAHCA website.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
PSA Test Cuts Prostate Cancer Deaths -- at a Cost
European PSA Study vs. U.S. PSA Study continued...
And even though the screened men were less likely to die of prostate cancer, death from any cause was just as likely in screened as in unscreened men.
Schroder says the PLCO study has its own flaws -- not least of which is that about half the men in the group that was supposed to be unscreened actually had a PSA test before the study began. This, he says, means that many men with hidden, aggressive cancers were never enrolled in that group.
Indeed, in the European study, three-fourths of the screened men who died of prostate cancer had their disease detected on first screening.
Both Schroder and Miller agree that while they complement each other in some ways, the two large PSA studies have many differences. These include:
- European men were screened only once every four years (every two years in Sweden); U.S. men were screened every year.
- In Europe, screened men got prostate biopsies when their PSA level was 3 ng/mL. In the U.S., the PSA cutoff was 4 ng/mL.
- In the European study, 13% of screening tests were false positives (no cancer detected on biopsy). The false-positive rate in the U.S. study was 7%.
- The European PSA study enrolled about twice as many men as the U.S. study.
- Overdiagnosis rates were about 50% in the European trial, but 17% to 30% in the U.S. trial.
The PSA Test: Advice to Men
Despite their very different takes on the two PSA studies, Schroder and Miller are in remarkable agreement about the lessons men should take from them.
Both agree that the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force is correct to say that men should not routinely be given PSA tests.
But Schroder argues for a more nuanced approach -- the one advocated by the American Cancer Society. That advice is for doctors to sit down with each individual patient to give him a thorough explanation of both the risks and benefits of regular PSA tests.
Unfortunately, Schroder says, doctors are more or less on their own. What they need is research that will tell them the most effective way to help men make this important decision.
"The time has come to develop and validate balanced information on the advantages and disadvantages of PSA screening for the man on the street," he suggests.
The Schroder report, and Miller's editorial, appear in the March 15 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

Kanye West received the most nominations for the 54th annual Grammy Awards during a televised ceremony Wednesday night, but it was the pop stars Adele and Bruno Mars who dominated the nominations for the big awards, each popping up on the short list for song of the year, record of the year and album of the year.
Video: Ben Sisario of The Times's Media Desk on the Grammys.
Adele, the 23-year-old British soul singer, received six nominations for her album "21," one of the best-selling albums of the year, which included the ubiquitous hit "Rolling in the Deep." Mr. Mars, who is 26, also received six nominations, three for "Grenade," his song about unrequited love, and three for the album "Doo-Wops and Hooligans." Foo Fighters – Dave Grohl's rock group – also received six nominations for the album "Wasting Light," and the most popular song off that record, "Walk," was nominated for best rock song.
All three of those albums are up for album of the year and will compete against two albums by flamboyant pop divas: "Born This Way" by Lady Gaga, and "Loud" by Rihanna. Unlike last year, no country or rap albums made the cut. (The full list of nominees can be found here.)
Nominees for record of the year – which goes to the artist and producers of the best single – include "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele, "Grenade" by Mr. Bruno, "Holocene" by Bon Iver, "The Cave" by the folk group Mumford & Sons and "Firework" by Katy Perry. The lineup for song of the year, which goes to songwriters, is identical, except Mr. West's hit single "All of the Lights" won a songwriting nomination in place of Ms. Perry's song.
Bon Iver – the musical project of the haunting alternative songwriter Justin Vernon – is also nominated for what should be an interesting contest for best new artist, along with the country trio the Band Perry, the electronic musician Skrillex and the young rappers J. Cole and Nicki Minaj. Read more…

Stonington House Rental Photos and Description
4 bdrms, 3.5 baths, Sleeps 8 +
Enjoy magnificent water views from this historic townhouse in the heart of Stonington Village. Erected circa 1840, the three-story building has been renovated to fit modern standards. The house feels crisp and new yet retains its original, gracious character, including gorgeous wide plank pine floors and double hung windows. The furnishings are upscale and the beds are luxurious. Completing the package is a charming side yard and two spacious decks overlooking the ocean and Connecticut's last remaining commercial fishing fleet . The owner's took optimal advantage of the beautiful ocean views and choose an upside-down floor plan (living room, kitchen, and dining room are on the third floor). Every day the living room comes to a standstill when the sun, settling upon the water, fills it with magnificent colors. French doors lead to a fully outfitted deck where dining atop the ocean never fails to please.
This is a detached, three story 'townhouse' with a side yard. It is nestled between other smaller houses, on all but one side, and therefore has wonderful unobstructed views to the ocean. There are two flights of stairs, ten steps each. Keep in mind that they are 1800's 'style' i.e. the rise is a 1/4' steeper. Our experience is that the comfort level has more to do with stamina and physical condition than age. We have an 80 year old couple who love this house, but even a fifteen year old doesn't always like stairs.
- Suitability:
- children welcome
- non smoking only
- pets considered
- wheelchair inaccessible

The King James Bible is one of the most commonly used translations of the Holy Bible used throughout the entire world. This translation of the Word of God is considered by many English-speaking Christians to be divinely inspired. This version of the Bible was translated from the languages of Greek and Hebrew (Greek for the New Testament and Hebrew for the Old Testament) into English during the years 1605-1611. This 6 year long process was done by a commission of 47 scholars of the Church of England. This translation of the Bible was ordered by King James VI and I, who was King James VI in Scotland, but in England and Ireland he was King James I. Since it was first published in 1611 the King James Version of the Bible has become the most printed book in history.
This version of the Holy Bible is known for its accuracy and wide acceptance. Many Christian churches accept the King James Version of the Bible as their official Bible. The King James Bible is translated into common language that is easy for most people to understand. As you study the KJV Bible you will grow closer to God. As you gain the habit of consistently reading from the Bible you will have a better relationship with God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Listening to the Bible as an audio Bible is a great way for you to really understand the main messages of the Holy Bible. Any one of our audio Bibles of this translation will easily help you to learn.

Beer-infused sausages, hot mulled wine, a "mustache bash" for diversity and a mini-Magical Mystery Tour — some stuff happening this weekend as we wrap up our Maovember operation. For details, including on Vedett beers specially labeled with Maovember pin buyers — like the one above — read on…
The Brick 'Co-Ed Mustache Bash'
Believe in diversity and that men and women alike should be comfortable sporting upper lip hair? Want to win everything from dinners and drinks to bagels and pies? Sad you missed our corn toss tournament last weekend?
Then get yourself to The Brick for the "mustache bash" on Saturday. The corn toss, with Mashup, starts at 5 PM; the draw, with over 30 prizes, starts at 9 PM; Bulldog Ale, on draft, is rmb25 until midnight. (See poster below.)
Raffle tickets are rmb20, with all monies to The Library Project (TLP) and prizes from Heineken, China Comedy Club, The Drive Thru, Slow Boat, The Garage, Two Guys, Tavalin, Andy's Craft Sausages and Flamme.
MoDown at YaShow
Chill out — figuratively and literally — Sunday afternoon and evening with food, drink and music at some fave spots on Yashow West Side in Sanlitun…
TWO GUYS AND A PIE: From 2 PM, enjoy Vedett beer with labels that feature Maovember pin buyers. Those bottles are rmb20 each, with all money to TLP. We will also sell 'Funk Fever' Movember T-shirts, courtesy of Migas, and more pins. (Note: We got most of this month's pin buyers on labels.

TAVALIN BAGELS: From 6 PM, just around the corner from Two Guys, check out the BBQ featuring La Chouffe-infused sausages by Andy's Craft Sausages. Half of all money raised will go to TLP.
Also of note:
- Don Lemmon (Ian Burns) and Jorge Arrowsmith (Troy Reilly) of The Beijing Beatles will do a "Magical Mystery Tour" of all three spots from 7 PM.
- 'Funk Fever' compilations, courtesy of Migas, will play at Two Guys throughout the day.
- All Maovember pin buyers will go into a draw for a Vedett keg party courtesy of Duvel Moortgat and The Local.
Finally, Christine Wang of The Library Project will attend both the MoDown on Sunday and The Brick bash on Saturday for the handover of the donations.
Note: If you can't make either event but would still like to help Zhen Hua Migrant School in Beijing get a library, you can donate directly to Library Project on this page (pick "Maovember" on the drop-down menu asking where you heard about TLP).

Best Strategies to Help Picky Eaters Try New Foods?
Good Questions
Q: My boyfriend is a horribly picky eater, with a "no-eat" list as long as the no-fly list. We're young and healthy and I always suggest we try to get a little bit more adventurous in the kitchen. But if it has a specialty-market ingredient or a texture other than crunchy, he's not interested.
The Kitchn's readers are a wealth of foodie knowledge, so I'd love to know: What tips and tricks do you guys use to get picky eaters to try new things when "add bacon" doesn't always work?
Sent by Taryn of Unplggd
Editor: Taryn that is indeed a dilemma. When one partner wants to branch out in eating but the other one doesn't, it calls for some skillful compromise.
This question has a similar theme, and some good suggestions:
• How Do You Get Fussy Adults to Eat Their Vegetables?
Readers, what's your advice? Is this something you've had experience with?

My fiance's the same way - although it's "add butter" and "add cheese" instead of "add bacon." We've since discovered that garlic & olive oil (a much healthier option) works just as well. He "hates vegetables" but magically LOVES Smitten Kitchen's ratatouille - http://smittenkitchen.com/2007/07/rat-a-too-ee-for-you-ee/
I've honestly considering purchasing one of those books about sneaking your kids vegetables in order to work on his vegetable-hating habits . . . But whenever I want him to try something new, I make sure to start small. I'd never have him eat a raw version of a vegetable I knew he didn't like. He dislikes avocado, and I'm planning on changing his mind by first starting with rice that has avocado creamed into it - and THEN work our way up to my dad's guac.
I would love to know this too... Between the boyfriend who doesn't like 90% of veggies, the son who hates anything with cheese or creamy sauce (which the boyfriend also won't eat), any noodles OTHER THAN spaghetti (doesn't matter that they are all the same THING in different shapes), and a daughter who is just downright suspicious of ANY form of meat (but eats the things the boys won't) and 2 step daughters-to-be that hate all veggies and anything other than brown beans, mac and cheese and hot dogs... well my palate is SCREAMING for change and variety!
I think it's a bad idea to "trick" people into eating new or different foods. I used to be a very picky eater and would get very offended when someone would try to coerce me into trying foods I had no interest in consuming. Seriously, it's a boundary and control issue. Drop it.
The solution will come from the picky eater, who will decide on his or her own to branch out, maybe with a little collaboration from a partner who LISTENS when he says no, too far. Really, if you want veggies and he doesn't, make the veggies and let your boyfriend feed himself. He's not a child.
When my kids were young, I asked my mother how she got us to be adventurous w/our eating. She said that, if we said we didn't like something, we had to eat a certain number of bites. My kids seemed to appreciate the "game." I kept the numbers-of-bites random, sometimes 1, sometimes 3, etc. My stepson learned to eat salad that way, even though he started out w/the I'm-throwing-up reflex. At one point, he announced, "Don't tell my mother I eat salad."
If your adult picky eater is too smart for the so-many-bites routine, do like my daughter. She uses her Vitamix to add all kinds of healthy goodness, like spinach, into her husband's smoothies.
I know you didn't specifically mention veggies, so I'll try to be broad. My boyfriend used to HATE all vegetables and "weird" ingredients--except for corn and potatoes,which don't count in my book. Now, he'll eat everything except a few--which he makes exceptions for now and then. I started out slowly, adding a veggie or adventurous ingredient in a dish he already was familiar with. Spinach in mac n cheese, tofu mixed in with ricotta in lasagna, etc. Sometimes I didn't tell him about the additions until he had tasted the dish and expressed liking it, but usually I try not to be too sneaky. But if you mix a small unfamiliar thing in with something familiar, it seems to go over better. Good luck!
It would be helpful to know what your boyfriend enjoys eating. I agree that a lot of times people think that they don't like food because they've had it cooked poorly (i.e. brussel sprouts--hated them for years because I'd always had them overcooked), or because they simply haven't been exposed.
So, for example, if he likes mashed potatoes, maybe you start small by adding some fresh herbs into them, or steamed spinach. Or branch out to something that has a similar presentation, but has a different taste--like mashed sweet potatoes. Then experiment with adding in stronger flavors like horseradish, or chipotle or goat cheese into the sweet potatoes. Or, you can try variations on the theme, like mashed potato and black bean cakes or shepherd's pie with root vegetables and lamb.
Mashed potatoes are just one example. But when introducing new flavors and foods, I think it's often best to expand on a familiar flavor rather than try something drastically new all in one go.
Don't date or marry these people unless you like a life of no interest or adventure.
Does he help make meals? Seems like people who cook are people who eat more adventurously. I started eating more vegetables when I had to start making salad for dinners when I was a kid. I wanted to make a better salad so I experimented.
It's more work, I know, but if you make a meal that he will eat, go ahead and make an exotic version for yourself, or offer more unusual fare as additions to what's already being made.
For example - if you're making plain-jane pork chops, make up a some kind of chutney, or exotic salsa using spices or fruit/chile combos that might be different. You can add it to your chop, and maybe convince the BF to try a bite. He'll still have his safe-version, so he won't be as intimidated by your fancy bite.
That's kind of what worked for me - I'd go to restaurants and order everything "plain" or with the "sauce on the side" but started trying bites of my companions' dishes and began to learn what I liked. Ease him into it, rather than confront him with an entire plate of something he won't even try on principle.
I know so many adult picky eaters, but my boyfriend has been the easiest to convert. I get really excited about food and recipes and when we first started dating I would send him emails full of exclamation points about how we absolutely must eat at this restaurant, or how I absolutely must cook this recipe. At first he was kind of freaked out because there were just all of these foods he was unfamiliar with and he assumed he wouldn't like them.
I decided to tone it down a bit with the exclamation points, but I also asked him to just trust me. I told him that if I made a dinner he didn't like I wouldn't be offended, but I expected him to at least give it a try.
Two years later, and brussels sprouts are his favorite vegetable. He still doesn't get as EXCITED about food as I do, but he'll often order something other than a plain burger at a restaurant. I consider this a success.
He's going to have to be willing to branch out on his own. Forcing the issue will likely make him retrench. But if he's even a little bit game, it's worth a shot to ask him to work on reframing his thinking about food.
Have him read this article by Jeffrey Steingarten (http://www.slate.com/id/3152/), or take a look at Steingarten's book The Man Who Ate Everything.
I was an incredibly picky eater as a child, but as an adult I'll eat almost anything. Of course, having foods prepared well makes a big difference. Soggy canned vegetables aren't favorites for most people, but roasted cauliflower with burnished caramelized edges and a sprinkle of sea salt, for example, can often convert cauliflower skeptics into enthusiasts. It can take eight to ten exposures to a new food to get over a phobia of it, but most of us can learn to like most foods if we're willing to hang in there for that many tries.
Feed him dishes that have two ingredients he's comfortable with and one that's new to him. That's from an episode of Bizarre Foods, I think.
Feed him dishes that have two ingredients he's comfortable with and one that's new to him. That's from an episode of Bizarre Foods, I think.
It's gotten quite easy for me to cook things my picky husband "hates" only to have he decide later he likes them. Most veggies you can cut up small and in a tomato sauce? No one is the wiser. He loathes green olives, eggplant, squash, kale, etc. All things I've cut to bite sized bits and cooked in my sauces. Tastes great and he has no clue til I tell him after. Most things can be cured with a spaghetti sauce.
For veggies plain that he doesn't like (asparagus, carrots...actually, most veggies) if I cook them generously in butter or very seasoned and, again, cut up (a long asparagus he'd run from, but 2 inch or so bites he can do fine) its much less daunting.
I've gotten him to eat crawfish, mussels, scallops, etc by just cooking it and when he asks what it is I just mumble "um..its shrimp cut up" and hell eat and enjoy it. Most of the time just not knowing what he's eating is enough for him to willingly dig in and then discover it was something else and he likes it.
Soups are a great trick too. Last night I made a really hearty pea soup with some tomatoes in it. He thought it was a meatless chili full of beans and dug in. I told him after it was pea soup and he said "Oh...I like peas"
Every family member adheres to this rule: "Take two bites and say 'thank you' for fixing that". It encourages trying new things, solves the picky-eater dilemma for both cook and diner and embeds basic etiquette for away-from-home meals. There are foods that I don't care for but others in the family enjoy, so as the main cook I also abide by the rule instead of serving only foods I prefer. Birthdays or special occasions call for special meals selected by the honoree. This ensures that nobody in my family can state that they don't like something without having tried it, and two bites haven't killed any of us yet. (We don't have food allergies which of course should be excluded).
I ran into this myself with my now husband so I can sympathize. It took YEARS to get him over to the daring side, but now he's almost more adventureous than I am! My husband comes from a very "vanilla/midwestern" family....they wouldn't even eat calamari at the olive garden. Steaks had to be well done, fish was gross, they destest spicey food etc. When I got into sushi he hated it but then after being around me for so long and seeing myself and several of our friends enjoy the food, he got more into it. Once we moved away from family, he got a kick at going home and realizing that he was now the "wild culinary child" and kinda went with it. He'd even play tricks on his mom letting her eat a spring roll and after telling her their was duck in it. It was funny. After YEARS of exposure, everyone in his family is much more open to trying new things. It's a process.
I also agree Flotisserie that it's a control issue so you shouldn't push too hard. The more I TRIED to get him to eat what I was cooking, the more resistence I got. When I finally backed off and left it up to him, he made the choice himself to be daring. Guys are kinda like that ;) You gotta let them think it's their idea....hehe
In a way, when you "push" someome to try something, it can easily be read as criticism or judgement (i.e. their current way of life isn't "right", your way is so much better, etc).... it's a good idea to tread lightly.
Picky children are one thing, but I have no patience for adults with this mentality. If he is a grown man I would tell him 'eat this or go buy and make your own dinner'.
On a slightly less mean note, I have a friend who agrees to 'try ONE new thing' each time we go out. She is quickly branching out her food palette, but this is something you'd have to get him to agree too.
If it weren't for me, my fiance would eat nothing but sugar cereals and take-out. To some degree, he doesn't like being so limited but he finds cooking intimidating so he sticks to what he knows. So we made a deal:
For every month before the wedding, there will be a veggie on feature that month. I cook it in a number of ways and he only has to try a bit and then he gives me feedback (eg "better peeled" "too soft" etc) So far, we have covered eggplant, green beans, broccoli, cabbage and mushrooms. He has done well with all but broccoli which generally is only "edible" if in small pieces and coated in stir-fry sauce or in a quiche with a lot of cheese.
One thing NOT to do is hide the veggies in other stuff, especially without telling him. It's a betrayal of trust and won't actually expand his repertoire to include those veggies.
I've found that if you don't know what an ingredient tastes like on its own, it can be overwhelming to try as part of a dish. So before trying to feed him mango salsa, eat a mango yourself and offer him a slice.
Picky eaters will also put up a lot of resistance if they think your end goal is to make them like new foods. Make it clear that what your after is just his willingness to try something, and that love and hate are equally acceptable responses.
You can also remind him that our taste buds change over time. Children have more taste buds than adults, making them more sensitive to strong flavors. As we get older, some of those receptors stop working, some get weaker, and our sense of smell gets gradually weaker -- the net result is that stronger flavors that used to overwhelm us are gradually acceptable. If he hates something now, he may taste it months or years from now and find it totally appealing. He's got nothing to lose by taking a taste.
Let me offer my perspective as a picky eater who is slowly reforming the way she eats. First of all, it is really important to remember that your boyfriend almost certainly wishes he had normal eating habits. He doesn't want to eat the way he does! If he is anything like me, he simply cannot avoid the sense of revulsion he feels at eating certain foods. Even now, after I have made lots of progress, I can't control the sense of extreme nausea I feel when I smell a banana, much less see someone eating one.
Shaming him (I'm not saying that you do this, just considering the possibility) into considering the freakishness and unhealthiness of his diet will do nothing but lower his self esteem and his esteem of you. Believe me, he knows! And believe me, he hears it all the time, from everybody, day in and day out, both from strangers and from people he loves. But there is hope! I would suggest sitting down and talking with him at length about what exactly repulses him about the foods he won't eat. For example, after I realized that the majority of vegetables on my "banned" list were hated for their crunchy texture, I bought a food processor and started experimenting. Now, one of my favorite things to make is curried carrot soup. I still have a ways to go but my progress was made pretty clear a few weeks ago when I dined with an old friend who well remembers my "white diet" stage back in high school. The look on her face when I dug into a zucchini cake hors d'oeuvre with gusto was priceless!
The important thing to remember is that he won't start experimenting until he is ready. You can't push him or, as others have wisely said, he will retrench and things will be even worse. Find flavors that he likes and incorporate them into recipes with problem foods. Make the experience of eating itself fun - paradoxically, I have always loved trying new flavors and discovering new restaurants (and the experience is far more enjoyable now that the menu doesn't have the potential to trigger an anxiety attack). My issue was never a lack of exposure - my mother is a wonderful home cook (and a saint, for dealing with me all of these years!). But other picky eaters, perhaps like your boyfriend, react negatively to unfamiliar foods that simply require a very slow and patient introduction. Try taking him to the greenmarket and chatting to the farmers about their wares.
Just start out slowly, start out small, and be patient. Other commenters' suggestions to add a tiny bit of an ingredient to a dish and then progressively move upwards is spot on. And please, please don't listen to closeminded people like Rick Roberts. My issues with food, while obviously detrimental and, shall we say, unusual, are only one facet of an otherwise very rich, creative and fulfilling life.
Ask him to cook you dinner for your birthday or Valentine's day. People will always taste what they cook, and if he's cooking for you he'll likely experiment with some of the foods he knows you love.
my boyfriend won't eat any other meat but bacon or beef, and physically shakes if cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise or anything white touches his food. He won't kiss me if i've eaten anything with white sauce or fish in it.
He gets really really upset if i ask him to try something and i get upset if he refuses to try something that's in his small span of foods... so it's best to just offer it once and if he says no, let it go. If he's not willing to try things, then it's not worth the hurt you'll both feel arguing over food.
If he likes to eat out or is open to the idea, I'd try taking him to a tapas restaurant and making a night of ordering as many dishes as possible. If you get 15-ish small plates and are diverse in your selections (that's fun, he can't object to that, can he??) then it's highly unlikely he won't like a few of them. Maybe you can try to recreate some new dishes or incorporate new ingredients at home?
I would definitely steer clear of the mentality that "well, he likes fried chicken, so let me try to make lots of different kinds of chicken." I'm not picky but I do find that when I have a specific expectation I'm less likely to be pleased.
I, too, am a somewhat picky eater. Truly, the only thing that has gotten me to try to branch out is that I wanted to be less annoying in restaurants and expand my horizons. But I'm still terrible.
Strangely, I used to love some things (artichokes, asparagus, mayo, scalloped potatoes, pickles, olives) when I was little, but stopped liking them over the years. Some things were the result of getting sick after eating them, but others I think my tastes just changed (or I wanted to be stubborn and it stuck)
One thing I've tried is to read the health benefits of a certain food, and try to make myself like it. Sometimes it works (avocado! Love it now!), sometimes not so much (beets... always taste like dirt.) but at least it gave me a solid reason to try. I still have a long way to go, though!
As a formerly picky eater, I can say that one of the essays in Jeffrey Steingarten's book, The Man Who Ate Everything, really opened my eyes. For the record, nearly all of my hang ups are texture related rather than flavor related.
I made it my New Year's resolution one year to be open to trying new things, and to try the same thing at least 8 or 9 times in different dishes before I could really say I didn't like it. There are still foods I don't like, but my list of foods I dislike is much much smaller. I have even made friends with my arch-nemesis from childhood, the zucchini.
Last night I tried a whole freeze dried baby crab in some kind of soy coating. They were meant to be eaten like snack food. (I had to spit it out and go brush my teeth afterwards, but I popped the whole thing in my mouth without giving it much of a thought.)
I also have to add, that eating food in season tastes so much better than frozen or out of season food. So, for example, don't make your BF try asparagus in January, wait until spring when it's at it's tastiest.
My question is an extension of this question. How do you get a picky eater who sides with eating as healthy as possible to try a small amount of a quality dish that has fried elements to it? To them, the word fried is only associated with fast food and grease. The problem is this doesn't apply to restaurant grade 'fried' as in a different cooking style. How do I change this perception, or at least plant the seeds?
Both of us were tremendously picky eaters, and we've branched out by cooking familiar foods with a few unusual ingredients or flavors.
Our local fruit market has lots of spices for food from different backgrounds. If he'll eat cheese and pasta, try saag paneer, goat cheese enchiladas, truffled macaroni gratin, ricotta gnocchi, penne frittata, or fondue (Gruyere works well with bread, green apples, and veggies).
If he'll eat potatoes, go for garden vegetable gratin, rosemary roast potatoes, or potato and leek soup. Potato pizza's great, too.
Try a twist on latkes with courgette fritters, or bruschetta made with grilled eggplant or sweet potatoes in place of bread. Rather than your usual pizza, try cauliflower pizza. Instead of cheese ravioli, maybe your boyfriend can go for mushroom and Mascarpone or butternut squash with butter sage sauce. It takes time, but having a familiar flavor can relax the palate, making it possible to work in a couple of other flavors. Once those become familiar, you can branch out even further.
Good luck!
adult picky eaters are so strange to me. it just seems so child-esque that someone would outright refuse to try something. maybe its because i was never allowed to do that when i was growing up, had to at least TRY everything.
that said, start making stuff for yourself and letting him try it. or ask him if he wouldnt mind making the effort to try a new dish you made, even though there might be something he isnt used to in it.
When my brother and I were kids and up until our teens, we were EXTREMELY picky (we still both have texture issues, though mine are limited to tomatoes). My mom didn't want her kids to grow up eating only grilled cheese sandwiches and chicken fingers, so she made a rule: every year, we had to try at least 10 new things.
And it worked. We both really expanded what we ate, and wanted to try far more than just 10 things a year. I still try to do it, though I'm running out of things that aren't the stuff Andrew Zimmern partakes in.
I also had the benefit of being with a partner who encouraged me to try new foods -- he would eat basically anything, so it became a challenge to find something that I would eat and he wouldn't (he also introduced me to both sushi and Indian food). Eventually, we learned that I could eat durian and he couldn't even swallow it...but I think that's not that unusual for most people.
I used to be very picky, but over the past few years I have made a huge turnaround! There are probably a few major things that contributed to that. I started cooking and got really sick of always making the same things, and when I looked up recipes they had so many ingredients I had never tried. I started living in an area with WAY more food choices and ethnic restaurants, and even though I didn't branch out right at first I was convinced/decided that I would try one bite of my husband's or friend's dish. And I realized that our tastes change ever few years so that even though I didn't like something a few years ago I might like it now, so it is at least worth a try. Although my husband isn't very picky he is very anti-vegetable but he agrees to at least try things and I started off by making fresh veggies he thought he didn't like and I just drenched them in salt in butter or roasted them in the oven with olive oil and seasonings. He has since realized that before he had probably only tried poor quality or poorly cooked versions and that makes a huge difference.
He might be a supertaster. Many adults who are picky eaters are. If so, the reason why he doesn't like the things that the rest of us like is that they really do taste different to him. You would think that having a very keen sense of taste would be good, but actually it makes many flavors overwhelming.
1. Alcohol first. Get a beer or some wine in him, then try a new food. Inhibitions lowered, he may be more likely to take a shine to something new and strange.
2. Nothing makes people open to new flavors like being hungry. Cut out appetizers and snacks (with his blessing, of course. He isn't four) after lunchtime, and whatever is served at dinner will seem WAY yummier.
3. Find a TV chef personality that he can identify with, and watch them. Alton Brown opened up so many doors for me that way.
4. If all else fails, put bacon on his portion. Pairing the positive stimuli with something new could very well get him liking the new thing on his own.
I don't understand how people can date, let alone marry, people with these nonsensical limitations. Food allergies I can understand, but "won't kiss me if I eat anything with white sauce" is so ridiculous it's almost funny.
it really depends on why he's picky and if he's actually at all interested in learning to like new things.
I was an extremely picky child. I didn't even like pizza or hamburgers. it was mostly a control issue, but also partly just the way my palette developed. many food literally made me gag that I can eat with pleasure now-- there is hope!
don't go too fast. start with the most 'normal' foods he refuses. learn why he doesn't like them and work with it. texture? cook it in a way that it won't bother him. my mom finely chopped mushrooms into her stuffing, leading my brother and I to love the flavor. it took a few years before I could eat a whole mushroom, but now I do. that said, learn which battles not to fight. I would slap someone (after gagging) who tried to slip me hard boiled egg.
do be careful. he may be feigning pickiness out of pure embarrassment for his culinary ignorance. it's a lot easier to say "I don't like that!" than to admit you have no clue what something is or show fear that you won't like it and look 'unsophisticated' in your reaction. if you have him cook with you, you can provide information and explanation without adding to his embarrassment. you can also substitute 'safe' ingredients. if a recipe calls for pancetta and he's wary of anything with a foreign name, just use bacon. the whole recipe will seem more 'normal'.
I 100% agree with Rick Roberts's comment: "Don't date or marry these people unless you like a life of no interest or adventure."
I absolutely cannot stand picky eaters. My ex-boyfriend would ask "What is in it?" when I gave him some delish snack to eat (no he didn't have any allergies), and that alone was a MAJOR piss off for me. Like I'd give him something yucky.
One of my current boyfriend's older teen cousins while visiting my bf's parents refused to eat anything other than macaroni and cheese from the box and hot dogs. I was literally in disbelief. Bf's stepmom had to prepare a special meal just for him so he doesn't starve (instead of steak). How absolutely rude and disgusting!
I want to slap all picky eaters with an old raw fish. I will never tolerate that in my house.
I agree: it's a boundary issue. One doesn't have the right to make another adult eat something they don't want to.
That said, there are a lot of good strategies listed here... especially the "use quality ingredients" idea.
I thankfully have a boyfriend who is if anything a more adventurous eater than I am.
I honestly don't have much patience with people who are picky eaters for any reason other than: allergy or other physical need to avoid a food (sugar if diabetic or milk if lactose intollerant) or a religious/ethical reason. Anything else I expect the person who I'm cooking for to make an effort to try it and if they don't like it they are welcome to make their own dinner. It's very likely this person may need to let her BF know that he'll be responsible for his own cooking if he isn't willing to be more adventurous.
You're probably fighting a losing battle - eating habits are established in childhood, and children follow the example of those around them. As others have said, he's an adult, let him cook his own meals if he dislikes what you've cooked.
Great suggestions. I was picky eater as a child myself -- it runs in my family, among my cousins and across generations, so it's not a question of having been spoiled, as some claimed.
And how disappointing that among the thoughtful replies were the usual smattering of self-righteous sneers that *they* would never stand for such a thing or marry such a person. What makes you think such comments are helpful?
I feel your struggle! My boyfriend is also a fairly picky eater - vegetables, except for a *rare* spinach salad, are right out and I've basically had to accept this and stop trying. It is frustrating for me sometimes since I have a very adventurous palate, but my best advice for meals where you want to branch out would be to either a) go to restaurants where you know there's both simple things your partner would like and more adventurous things to keep you interested or b) cook something for you and something else for him. Option b doesn't have to involve much effort - we do a "mixed grill" lots of nights where he'll get the simply seasoned chicken breast he wants and I'll pick up some interesting new fish or sausage or something that I want to try and we can just cook them side by side on the grill pan.
And like other commenters I do NOT think differences in food preferences preclude a happy relationship! Food - moreover healthy, interesting food - is a major part of my life and it's tough when my partner doesn't have the same priorities, but I figure that if the only thing we can't agree about is what to eat for dinner, we're doing pretty well otherwise :)
People HAVE to be willing to try things. So many people I have known seem to have mindsets against whole classes of food. I may not like something but I will always at least try it.
No more boyfriends who are picky eaters--I got tired of all the endless accommodation!
I was a picky eater when I was a child and the foods I was really forced to eat then are the foods that I still hate to eat now, although I will if it's to be polite.
The summer after I finished highschool I went on a trip to Malawi, in Africa, and was told that my picky habits would not cut it. The ultimatum was that if I didn't eat everything on my plate at every training weekend then I wasn't allowed to go. They wrote me a list of basic ingredients - vegetables mostly, but I was also vegetarian due to fussiness, so beef, chicken and sausages were on there too - and I took it home. Whenever my mum was making something with the ingredients, I was required to try a forkful. The next time it would be two forkfuls, and eventually I would be having full portions. Before my staple diet was spaghetti Os and grilled cheese, but now I do eat everything.
My mum had been trying for years to get me to eat more food, but until I had a strong source of motivation, I didn't make the change. As a method of changing, I liked having the list up in the kitchen, and marking off things as I tried them and started to like them, so I could see the progress I was making.
If he does want to change his eating habits, then a small reward-type method might help. Write a list of all YOUR favourite ingredients, and cross them off one by one (or some other small reward - a beer, or a take out the following day, or whatever he chooses. Being able to see his progress might help him, and having a list makes expanding a lot less scary, because there is a set end point.
Once I had the basic list of ingredients down and started enjoying food, I became more willing to try new things myself, and am now even expanding my cheese horizons, which I never thought I would do.
My brother used to be really picky with foods growing up, but since he's actually grown up now, he's been experimenting with food more, thanks to his wife. If it weren't for her, he'd be eating beef jerky and Redbull - as she loves REAL food (the stuff that we Kitchn'ers love).
Like TabbieWolf, I had textural issues growing up. For example, I wouldn't eat mushrooms because they were usually some sort of canned ones (therefore rubbery) or broccoli stalks (which are what a majority of frozen broccoli usually is in the bag). I eat the random mushroom here and there, but it has to be fresh and cooked well. As for broccoli stalk, I love it now more than the crowns after feeling so wasteful for throwing it away. There are still some weird things I have about foods - but nothing that scares me off of eating them, such as the way the seeds inside a bell pepper looks. I don't know why, but both me and my mother get chills down our spines seeing those little white buggers clinging to the wall, all lined up. Ergh...
I'm also very fortunate to have a boyfriend who is willing to try new things. Actually I can't say "willing" as that makes it sound like he's picky, which he's really not. He works in an Italian restaurant, which makes some really amazing and pretty damn well authentic dishes, so he's no stranger to food. Since the 9 months we've been together, I've introduced him to Sushi, Thai food other than pad thai), phở, sriracha, tofu and tempeh and a slew of cheeses and other flavour combinations. And he's not just into eating new things, he loves cooking new things, too. For example, I came home the other night to a cranberry and pear BBQ marinated chicken on a bed of bleu cheese coated romaine tossed with dried cranberries and pear shards, all topped with gorgonzola... I'm so lucky. :) He's usually big on flavours when he cooks, while I'm more of a lighter guy... Like last night, I made calamari-ring-style organic pasta (from whole foods) tossed with sauteed red bell pepper, a bit of white onion and, a lot of tempeh, with olive oil, rosemary, thyme and lavender sea salt. Simple, yet he loved it. Regardless, we actually discuss what we make/eat and give the dish a score on a scale from 1-10, and give feedback on how to improve or just overall change the dish into something else completely.
I ask my husband what it is about the food that he doesn't like, and usually it's either just the idea of it (i.e. he has never actually tasted it), his mom made him eat it when he was younger, or it was cooked poorly in his past. So now when I make something new, I acknowledge it's something he's never had and may not like, but I don't tell him what it is until he's at least taken one normal sized bite (not a lick -- fool me once). Sometimes the name of it alone turns him off and he won't try it, which is why I have to wait to tell him what it is until after he tastes it. And sometimes, it's just the preparation of the food itself. For example, he hates cooked spinach, but if I use raw spinach in a salad, he'll eat it right up.
I agree with Charlotte. I hate it when people say they don't like something, but they've never even had a bite of it before. You have to at least try it. How can you have an opinion without ever tasting it? So if the husband doesn't like whatever I've made for whatever reason, fine. At least he's actually tasted it. Not everyone has to like everything.
I was an extremely picky eater growing up, and my mom did the same thing several other mothers here did too--she made me take two bites of whatever she prepared, and if I still didn't like it, I was welcome to go make myself a bowl of cereal. I ate a metric ton of Cheerios, to be sure, but since I tried everything every time (and my mother is an excellent cook), I eventually started liking new things. Same with restaurants--my parents took us out quite a bit and asked me if I wanted to try their dishes every time.
I think I was just a really stubborn little kid. Another trick that worked for my mom was inviting people I liked over for meals. I would eat anything my older cousin would eat, because I liked her so much and figured if she liked things, they had to be good. So perhaps arranging dinner dates with his more adventurous friends might inspire him to try new foods. This tactic works especially well if you are both trying something new--that way he doesn't feel like the deck is stacked against him. Almost all of my food breakthroughs came after trips with friends, dinners with extended family, etc.
You can try pulling a "bread and jam for Francis" on him...
You can get a third party to enthuse over some new dish...
But mostly just let him be, and enjoy healthy food yourself. When he gets sick of his unvaried food and starts looking for 'something different' it will be around.
10 years ago, when I first started dating my husband, he wouldn't eat any fish - my mother had to plan an alternate entree sometimes. Repeated exposure to a huge variety of well cooked fish led to him gradually trying things off my plate, accepting fish broth soups, and eventually ordering lobster and salmon on his own.
I think the shift came about because I asked why he didn't like it - texture, smell, flavour - and then tailored the intros to minimize the negatives. Also not making a huge scene. And repeated exposure.
Adults are allowed to have preferences but tastes also change. Plus, using recipes from chefs/styles you know they like.
Mixing veggies into pasta sauce makes sense to me. Or making sweets like zucchini bread.
There's a big difference between truly not liking something and saying you don't like everything you've never actually tried. I do get really annoyed at the latter. We have a couple of friends like that and often have to limit our restaurant selection because of them. You shouldn't force or trick someone into eating something they don't like (I wouldn't want anyone force-feeding me bananas), but insisting they give something a fair shot I think is fine.
@mavieenrose, you couldn't have said it better. Props to you.
I'm a very picky eater who's trying to change. I agree with those who said to go slow, don't force him, and DON'T sneak! Let him make the decisions; go at his pace. It may take a while, but eventually he'll expand his "edible" list.
Picky grown ups are so annoying - there are foods (even meals) I dont really like, but I'm a grown up, so I eat them (I exclude allergies but dont have any, even though I really need one for dads crunchy lasagne), why cant you?
A friend of my sister had been convinced by his mother that corn kernals (sp?) were "yellow peas" bc peas were the only vegies he ate - when they (accidently) let him know that it was corn, there were problems...
I had this same problem 8 years ago when I began dating the person who is now my husband. When we met, I was a vegetarian and he was one of those people who would eat steak, hamburger (no lettuce, no tomato, and no pickles), and pizza kind of guys. It annoyed me to no end. What bothered me most was the mentality behind his pickiness--he didn't care to expose himself to new things. He didn't care to experiment and without even trying something he assumed he knew better than I about what was good and what was bad. I told him why his attitude bothered me. That to me it represented an arrogance and a closed-mind which are attributes I could never appreciate in a significant other. And that I knew that these characteristics were not in line with who we truly was as a person. I also told him that with his current attitude, I could never introduce him to my family. My family is Persian and food is a HUGE part of who they are. And Persian food is weird for westerners. We serve yogurt on the side of everything and pickled vegetables and will add raisins to rice dishes. You have to be open-minded to appreciate it. After we had this talk, he promised me that he would try. He didn't promise he'd like anything but he promised to always try and be as open-minded as possible. Now, the guy who never ate fish in his life is a huge fan of sushi, the guy who never ate vegetables now can't get enough of them and most importantly HE LOVES, LOVES, LOVES Persian food. :)
I'm sorry. I realize there are a lot of typos in my message above. I was trying to finish a conference call while typing!
As an adult picky eater, I can promise you, it's no walk in the park for us. It's not just a "I don't wanna" mentality. It's closer to a phobia. It comes with all kinds of social anxiety just about anytime we go out to eat, it's ten fold when we're around new people and have to field all the questions about what we will or won't eat, and why haevn't we tried this or that. And don't blame our parents. My folks often tried to get me to try new things. They tried telling me I had to sit at the table until I did, or take just a bite or even offered rewards. None of it worked on me. And I hate it. But trying something new is often followed by gagging and even vomitting.
mavieenrose, I'd love to know more about how you were able to start trying new foods. I'm still pretty healthy, but as I'm now in my mid 30s, I'm more afraid of not being around for my family.

It is an old US Navy portable LCR bridge. It features an 'eye' tube for the null detector, and it has a built in power supply. You can charge capacitors up to over 400 volts while simultaneously bridging them. The voltmeter that you use to set the voltage has a momentary ammeter switch setting, so you can see what current a capacitor is drawing as you apply the charge voltage. It's interesting to use, because the 'Q' of old higher-voltage capacitors improves as you bring the working voltage up. It is definitely an 'instrument to die for' if you're a tube equipment enthusiast. Not as aesthetic as a General Radio 1650 (which runs on "D" cells) but an excellent piece of equipment.

For more than three decades, the Cincinnati May Festival has presented an intimate evening of choral music sung by smaller forces in the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption in Covington.
Sunday's sold-out concert with the May Festival Chamber Choir and May Festival Youth Chorus offered a vast contrast to that heard on Saturday, when 320 singers and instrumentalists performed Britten's "War Requiem" in Music Hall. In the cathedral's radiant surroundings, Sunday's program drew the listener inward with music that was serene and contemplative.
Robert Porco, director of choruses, was on the podium with his Chamber Choir – a select group from the 140-voice May Festival Chorus. The short selections – an international palette of sacred pieces by 20th-century composers – were deeply spiritual and sung a cappella.
Porco caught their gentle, reverent atmosphere, and each unfolded with more beauty than the last. The most inspired was American master Morten Lauridsen's "Ave Maria," which had a timeless, floating quality and featured seamless vocal counterpoint. You could only bask in the glow of the plush choral sound in the cathedral space.
The singers performed with the same quiet virtuosity in Polish composer Henryk Gorecki's setting of the Marian prayer, "Totus Tuus" (I am completely yours). They sang tricky florid lines cleanly in Scottish composer James MacMillan's motet, "Data Est Mihi Omnis Potestas" (All power has been given to me).
The centerpiece was Britten's "Rosa Mystica," an inventive setting of words by 19th-century poet Gerard Manley Hopkins. The men and women of the choir alternated their parts between melody and an undercurrent of chanting. The effect was mesmerizing, and Porco brought the piece to a climax on the words, "Is Mary that rose, then?"
The program included mystical Estonian composer Arvo Pärt's setting of Psalm 17 and a 2001 setting of the hymn "Ubi Caritas" (Where charity) by Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo.
To open the program, gifted conductor James Bagwell took his Youth Chorus through three pieces in the tradition of the Anglican Church. Their most substantial was Britten's "Te Deum in C," a nod to the festival's observance of Britten's centennial, performed with soprano Amanda Carmen Bower and organist Heather MacPhail. The singers' light, well-trained voices were ideal for Britten's hymn of praise. Bower, a graduate of the University of Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, performed her lines (orginally for boy soprano) with a beautiful pure tone.
"Sing Joyfully," by William Byrd, the foremost composer of the Elizabethan era, was a charming opener to the evening. The ensemble was also excellent in Thomas Weelkes' brilliant anthem, "Hosanna to the Son of David."
Spotted in the crowd: May Festival music director James Conlon, fresh from conducting opening weekend, and Louis Langrée, incoming music director of the Cincinnati Symphony orchestra.

Boot CD not recognizing any mouse or keyboard
I couldn't quite find a forum that was a good match for my question, so I went with General. Hope I'm in the right place.
Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit SP-1.
There is a cloning program that I use and really like called EZ Gig IV. It's made by Apricorn. I know there are a million free programs out there, and I've tried a lot of them, but this one is so simple, and really meets my needs. So.. would appreciate avoiding recommendations to change programs. Thanks.
They just updated their software version with some bug fixes and enhancements, and now their Boot CD no longer recognizes my USB keyboard or mouse. I've even tried swapping them with other brands. Oddly, it works fine on my wife's PC. Slightly different model computer, but same HP and OS.
Their last version of Boot CD worked fine. Also, their updated program works fine within Windows. It's just the updated Boot CD v4.3.5
EZ Gig allows free downloads of their Boot CD if 2 forms: 1) A bootable file (made once the program is running in Windows) 2) an ISO file. I've tried both with same issue. Here's the link: http://www.apricorn.com/products/software/ezgig.html
I spoke with their Tech Support and was told there is nothing that can be done. Perhaps true.
I have no experience in this area, but am hoping there is a way to use their ISO file and somehow combine it with a Windows 7 file that would provide the drivers, or whatever is missing, and make the thing see my keyboard and mouse. I've heard some things about Windows PE 4.0, but don't know if that's applicable.
Sorry for the long post. Thanks all...
|My System Specs
|24 Nov 2013
If you want to go with the WinPE option, here is one of the easier video tutorials.
|My System Specs
|24 Nov 2013
whs: Thanks so much for the info. I watched the video and was able to follow in thru about 1/2 way before it lost me. I have virtually no experience with command prompts or DOS, so even with the excellent step-by-step video, I'm not sure I can manage it.
3 Questions please:
1) Based on my issue of the program not recognizing my keyboard and mouse, is this something Windows PE would provide?
2) Would I be able to just download and use the EZ Gig ISO file in Windows PE?
3) Is there a utility that uses a wizard to accomplish the same thing as was done in the video?
I'm not sure what else to ask or do at this point.
Thanks so much...
|My System Specs
|24 Nov 2013
Yes to questions 1 and 2. As for Q3, I don't have a direct answer. Maybe one could trick a 'ready made' WinPE stick to add your program. E.g. with the free Macrium WinPE you have access to command prompt. We'd have to study how to use that for your purposes. Here is a Microsoft guidance on how to do that (maybe). But as the usual MS write-ups, you really have to read it very carefully.
This whole operation is probably best done in a virtual partition. If all fails, we can ask SIW2 (a member here). He plays with this stuff all the time. He is in the UK - so we'll have to consider the 5 hour difference between EST and GMT.
|My System Specs
|25 Nov 2013
I'm psyched that 1 & 2 are a yes. That's fantastic!
I've been reading all morning about WinPE, and this is starting to feel beyond my capabilities. I was really hoping to find some sort of simplified wizard that I could download (more at my level). I actually saw one yesterday, but I'll be damned find it today. Very disappointed now that I know combining my ISO with WinPE would do the trick.
Last week I created a Macrium Reflect WinPE 4.0 CD to check it out. It was a piece of cake. But I was not aware that an ISO from another program could be added to the Macrium WinPE.
BTW: The Macrium WinPE 3.1 would not work with my USB 3.0 ports. Needed to be WinPE 4.0. Suggestion came from Macrium Tech Support.
Any additional (and simple) suggestions will be greatly appreciated...
One last thought. It seems crazy that EZ Gig would update their boot CD and not include all the drivers necessary to work on a standard HP Win 7 machine. As I mentioned, it works fine on my wife's (very similar) PC. That said, is it possible I had a bad burn when I created the CD, and it would still recognize my wife's keyboard and mouse?
|My System Specs
|25 Nov 2013
BTW: The Macrium WinPE 3.1 would not work with my USB 3.0 ports. Needed to be WinPE 4.0. Suggestion came from Macrium Tech Support.
I have sent a PM to SIW2. Maybe he has an idea on how we can trick the WinPE of Macrium to accept additional programs. But since I have not seen him around for a little while, the answer may take some time.
|My System Specs
|25 Nov 2013
Win7 x 6 PC's
If you have any WD or Seagate HD then you can use the free premium Acronis cloning/imaging app which works best of all.
Otherwise try Windows Backup Imaging which lacks flexibility but will reimage to the same or another HDD or SSD: Backup Complete Computer - Create an Image Backup
If that's not satisfactory try Paragon Hard Disk Manager free.
|My System Specs
|25 Nov 2013
whs: Thanks so much for reaching out to SIW2 on my behalf. Very kind of you. I feel like I'm so close here, now I'm getting determined. Am also interested to learn more about the uses of WinPE. The youtube video you sent me was very good, and "almost" something I could follow. Will wait to hear back...
gregrocker: Thank you very much for the suggestions. As I mentioned in my original post, I'd really prefer not to change software. I've tried a bunch, and EZ Gig really meets all my needs, and... it's so, so EZ
|My System Specs
|25 Nov 2013
But maybe Greg has a point. You could always try another imaging program and see what happens. Paragon is a good program but it is a bit too complex for my taste, I prefer free Macrium because it is real easy, fast and very reliable. Would not hurt to make a trial run.
Imaging with free Macrium
And the .iso for the recovery disc you can download from my Skydrive. Just burn that to CD. That saves you a couple of hours downloading the WAIK which you need to produce that .iso.
And if you don't feel like installing another program, just get the recovery CD. With that you can also make images apart from recovering from images.
|My System Specs
|25 Nov 2013
I've already installed Macrium and burned their Boot CD to test drive it. It is simple, and I do like it. If I can't get EZ Gig going, Macrium was my 2nd choice. It also has the advantage of working with USB 3.0. A big plus.
I did run into a small issue of it not recognizing drives with their Boot CD, but managed to get that going.

Lamar Odom was drunk -- very drunk -- at Beacher's Madhouse in Hollywood Wednesday night ... eyewitnesses tell TMZ -- and it's a dramatic, depressing turn in his life.
People who were present tell us ... Lamar showed up with several guys. In short order Lamar was hanging at the bar doing shots of Patron. For the next 3 hours, Lamar could not be seen without a glass of champagne.
Our sources say he was "hammered." One witness -- who knows the difference -- says Lamar didn't seem like he was on drugs. It appeared to be alcohol-fueled.
Lamar stayed until closing at 2 AM. By 2:30 AM he was in the valet area talking about where to go for the "after party."
Lamar claims he's been clean for the last few weeks. Khloe Kardashian even invited him to a Kanye West concert earlier in the week as a show of support, although we're told she's already decided to divorce him.
Give him a break, he is allow to drink he is a grown
man not a child. What is wrong with some people
they can't mind there own busuness
Crack or Kardashians? I'd choose crack every day
Dude , go to rehab.
I think the Kardashians are funding TMZ themselves. As in paying them to publish stories about them
How is being drunk a "dramatic, depressing turn" from being a crack addict. You guys need to get some life experience and stop clutching your pearls.
Alcohol takes the edge off the crack cocaine.
I cannot believe how delusional and crazy some of you haters are, you talk and write so much crap
it is unbelievable always blaming the Kardasian
for the press and media stories about Lamar.
The press and media have always make up lies
about Lamar, Khloe and the rest of family before
all this story about Lamar, so piss off you retards
he drinks to forget the fat ass kardashians...
The media giving him any props at all for such a short time of not doing drugs - People Magazine COVER story says he has 2 weeks off of drugs. SUCH disrespect to the entire true sobriety clean recovery approach to life. You have to plan to stop forever, one day a time. This FOOL is so not at rock bottom yet.
Who cares! I'm jealous, I tried to get drunk too.
Khole ?? I bet lam lam again didnt come home to you. You and ur bro robbie will always be the 3rd wheel..
Khole why dont you donate that grossly ring u wear to skid row vs you trying to be a humanitarian!! Your stock is going down hill like your jobless brothet!!
Anytime you are dealing with an addict - with a long history of ongoing addiction problems, it is just a matter of time before they relapse ... again and again and again.
It is best just to move on from this kind of addict - and let them self destruct on their own without taking down any unwilling prisoners with them. HE is the only one who can finally to realize he is an addict on a path of destruction ... and HE is the only one that can make the decision to change - or forever spiral into a long deep dark abyss he may never crawl out of alive.

Lenovo Reach unifies platforms; file streaming, cloud apps to come
Summary: Lenovo's latest business pitch appeals to bring-your-own-device (BYOD) workers, along with those using multiple device types and platforms.
Lenovo has added another latest tick to its to-do list on the company's cloud computing strategy by announcing Lenovo Reach, a secure synchronization service that stores your passwords in the cloud.
The Chinese electronics maker offers "anytime, anywhere" cloud access with one simple password login that allows users to access sites wherever they are from any device using one simple password.
On the face of it, Lenovo Reach is a glorified cloud-based password manager, with the inclusion of a few additional features, such as a free 5GB SugarSync-provided cloud storage unit and a cloud-based search facility for finding files and photos across various storage accounts.
But here's the killer feature: Lenovo Reach delivers a consistent user interface across your various devices — for now it's limited to Windows 7-based machines and Android devices — that simplifies finding files, photos, and other items stored locally or in the cloud.
Here's what's in store, and how it looks:
Lenovo explains on its website that its focus is on removing the complexity for both cloud users and IT staff, by offering secure access to data and applications without "clogging up the datacenter" or draining IT staff resources.
Next on Lenovo's to-do list includes the ability to share and stream files without the need to store them in the cloud (effectively peer-to-peer sharing), as well as the secure access of applications and services through the desktop browser.
Currently in testing, general availability is slated for later this year.
Cue the obligatory cheesy promo video:

The number of child mortalities continues to decrease across the world. Source: Our World in Data
It's good to see that the issue of malnourishment amongst the indigenous in Guatemala is receiving attention both inside and outside the country. I wrote a policy paper in 2009 on the causes of the malnourishment and options for reducing it, and it's interesting going back to it almost five years later after watching this video.
The Science of Designing Food for the World's Poor
Those delivering nutritional aid have often focused on supply at the expense of demand. Instead, the priority should be empowering recipients to understand malnutrition and devise their own solutions.
Why Indian Children are Shorter than African Children
I found this paper by Jayachandran and Pande to be pretty fascinating. Indian children might be shorter overall because of parental preference in India for the first born children.
I love Venn diagrams, and this one from USAID is a pretty good one.
I've had the chance to work a bit with ICM in the Philippines. I've always been impressed with their work and approach to development, but I'm even more impressed after watching this video update.
It's a six-month update about their response after Typhoon Haiyan. They talk about why they needed to respond to this disaster, whereas in the past they kept focused on their long-term development programs.
The level of transparency is amazing. But what's even better is how they talk about how 2,400 children die every month in the Philippines as a result of severe poverty. It's an ongoing crisis, and that's why a commitment to long-term development is worthy of our focus.
Measuring Impact for Convoy of Hope
It was 30 minutes before lunch-time, and the four-year-olds sitting in the classroom's front row couldn't keep their heads up. I knew it wasn't a matter of getting a good night's sleep. Considering the poor community the two boys live in, it's likely the food they get at school is their only substantial meal of the day — and they've only just begun to receive it this week with the start of a new school year. Their hunger and undernourishment make it difficult to stay alert, which means learning in a classroom is nearly impossible.
I noticed them while helping Convoy of Hope's Tanzanian staff take baseline health measurements for the new school year, so thankfully I know this isn't the end of the story for those two boys. A nutritious meal every day will give them more energy, and by the end of the year we should see physical signs of them coming out of undernourishment.
That's actually why I was there — to help Convoy of Hope measure its impact on the 145,000 children in the nutrition program in 11 countries. To do that, I've been working hand-in-hand the past couple months with field staff as we roll out a new global Monitoring & Evaluation system (along with a new online database). In the countries where there are more than 2,000 children, we are measuring a sample of the population, so I've worked with our staff to make sure the sample is random and representative.
This spring, I've traveled to Tanzania, Kenya, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Haiti, and the Philippines helping conduct baseline health measurements on over 1,800 children — just a small percentage of the data field staff will collect this year. We'll compare this data with endline measurements at the end of the year in a "pre-post" test.
As I'm getting the complete baseline data in from each country, the fun statistical analysis is just starting. While I love stats and think they can tell a great story, I've thankfully also had the chance to hear some of the kids' stories and know more about where they live. And for me, this means it's now more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
I've followed Nate Silver and his FiveThirtyEight blog since 2008 when he began making predictions on that year's political races.
In 2010 and 2012, I was again a frequent reader, so of course I read Silver's book in 2013, which came on the heels of his new-found popularity.
Today, Silver & Co. have taken a big step and re-launched the FiveThirtyEight website. There are now twenty full-time writers (it used to be just two) covering a broader set of topics through the lens of "data journalism". Their hope is to make journalism more rigorous and evidence-based; a worthy goal.
