A fruit is a vegetable with looks and money. Plus, if you let fruit rot, it turns into wine, something Brussels sprouts never do.

We'd like to take a look at a significant study that touts the benefits of adding more servings of vegetables to your diet. This study finds there may be parallels between eating vegetables and keeping the brain young; Of 2,000 older Chicagoans, those having two or more servings of vegetables every day showed significantly less mental decline over 5 years than those who didn't. Here at Beachbody®, for years now we've been recommending that you eat your vegetables. In fact, the "pious tier" on Michi's Ladder, Beachbody's nutrition guide, includes most of the vegetables that are cited in the study as being especially beneficial. Veggies are loaded with fiber, vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients, and most have practically no calories. So what's not to like? Well, for many, it's the taste.
We can all agree that eating veggies is a good thing. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recommends that you eat five to nine servings each day. The question is how do you choke down those five to nine servings if you don't care for vegetables? And how can you get your friends and family, especially kids, to "veg out" with you at mealtime without the aid of cheese sauce or a deep fryer? While the best way to consume most vegetables is either raw or lightly steamed, some of us may need to get a little more creative to get all those servings down the hatch. Here are some ideas.
Hopefully, you'll be creatively inspired to try out some new vegetables and some new methods for preparing them. And if you still can't manage to eat enough vegetables, at least try to take a decent multivitamin every day. Also, make sure to check out the recipe index at TeamBeachbody.com. Not a member?

Rule one of avoiding fast food may be to drive right by, but what happens when the fast food restaurants start driving to you? The food truck has become the newest culinary craze, announcing their scheduled appearances via Web sites, Facebook®, and Twitter®, which results in thousands of people cyberstalking their whereabouts every day. In most major cities around the United States, chefs and entrepreneurs alike have been taking these "meals on wheels" to a whole new level. You want samosas, tacos, pad thai, sausage, cupcakes, falafel, or sushi? There's a truck out there that'll sell it to you. But what if you've been diligently following your nutrition plan and everyone in your department decides to "graze at the curb" for lunch? The easy answer would be to submit and go back to your old ways, wallowing in grilled cheeses and cupcakes. But you're better than that. Instead, let's look at some healthier options for food truck feasting. (Note: Specific nutritional information for each dish will vary from truck to truck.)
Tacos have been traditional street food for generations. In their authentic form, a corn tortilla, a couple of tablespoons of chopped meat, and some cilantro aren't actually too much to be concerned about. Unfortunately, gourmet food trucks tend to deviate quite a bit. Most trucks offer tacos, burritos, and quesadillas, many topped with fancy crème sauces, loaded with four types of cheese, and accompanied by a slew of fried tortilla chips. Whatever your local food trucks are offering up, the rule with Mexican food is this: the fewer the ingredients, the better. The traditional taco I just described has about 150 calories, whereas a fully loaded burrito can have 800 or more! Stick to corn tortillas, lean protein, and veggies, and leave your chips for the pigeons.
Many people, myself included, have been led to believe that a tortilla must be better for you than a slice (or two) of bread. Unfortunately, we were all wrong. Your average wrap-sized tortilla has about 300 calories, and up to 6 grams of fat. This is before you stuff it with yummy fillings. And just because the wrap is spinach- or sundried tomato-flavored doesn't seem to make all that much difference. They're still high in calories and carbs, and not so low in fat. So even if you fill your wrap with chicken or turkey and cram it full of veggies, you're looking at a sandwich that's got a minimum of 400 calories. So how do you survive the wrap truck? Ask if they'll make the filling ingredients into a salad, or just dissect the tortilla and eat the insides. This might cause your cool factor to drop among your colleagues, but really, this isn't Spago®, so who cares?
How they get that big smoky flavor out of a truck is anyone's guess. But yummy meat dripping in sauce seems to be a food truck staple. And although chicken, tri-tip, and smoked ham are okay calorically, every tablespoon of barbeque sauce can add 70 calories of sugar to your entrée. And I think the likelihood of their stopping at one tablespoon is about as likely as we all are to win the lottery. Then there are the sides: baked beans, cole slaw, potato salad, and Texas toast (also known as pork fat [beans], mayo fat ["salads"], and butterfat [toast]). Yes, several trips to the BBQ truck could lead to a trip to the cardiologist. Try ordering the chicken with no sauce and some unbuttered toast. If they have collard greens or corn on the cob, again avoid the butter and eat it plain.
Chinese cuisine seems to follow the yin and yang of ancient Chinese philosophy. It's either relatively healthy or horrible for you. Both can exist side-by-side in the same food truck and comingle in your to-go container. An order of mu shu pork at 800 calories a pop, a side of eggplant in garlic sauce for another 300, and a serving of white rice and a single egg roll at 200 each adds up to a day's worth of calories and a week's worth of sodium. If the East is calling your taste buds, ask the chef on wheels if there's a steamer on board. A few ounces of steamed tofu or chicken, steamed veggies, and a half-cup of brown rice could save you upwards of 1,000 calories. For some added flavor, ask for the sauce on the side and use chopsticks to drizzle it on.
Most people who work hard doing an hour of intense exercise daily are probably not going to be lining up outside a hot dog truck. Most of the population would not construe any type of frankfurter as a health food. Especially when you order the gourmet bacon, guacamole, onion, and bean monstrosity that could clog an artery if you look at it. Your average dog sans toppings is between 200 and 300 calories; the bun adds an additional 100. The biggest problem is that most of those calories come from fat. Your best bet is to ask if they have a turkey or tofu version, a whole wheat bun, and more traditional toppings like mustard and onions. Or walk to the next truck in line.
Nutritionally, sushi is probably the least scary of food truck options. Until you do anything fun with it. At around 40 calories a pop, a piece of fish on a tablespoon of rice isn't going to affect you adversely. But the minute you stir in some spicy mayo, roll it in more rice, and top it with tempura, you're looking at hundreds of calories. Stick to fish and rice, with perhaps some edamame if they're available. If you need flavor, add some wasabi and low-sodium soy sauce. And most importantly, if it tastes and smells overly "fishy," use caution. You always have a greater danger of bacterial issues with raw meat or fish.
People have been peddling dessert to us off trucks for decades. Summer wouldn't seem like summer without the ubiquitous ice cream man. Yet what's peddled in trucks today isn't a Big Stick® or a Sno-Cone. Think about homemade ice cream piled between two fresh-baked cookies. Warm crepes filled with Nutella® and sliced banana and drizzled in Godiva® chocolate. Warm chocolate bread pudding with vanilla custard. Crème fraiche cheesecake with a blueberry compote. Yeah, just reading it could send you into a diabetic coma. If you must indulge in something, try a single scoop of ice cream. Or split something with four other people. Or run.
The "roach coach" has been around forever, and especially with this latest gourmet reinvention, it looks as if it'll hang around at least as long as the critters it's named after. Visiting a food truck is essentially the same as going to a fast food restaurant, except the food's slightly more expensive and there are no plastic tables to sit at. Use them the same way you would Subway® or Taco Bell®, which is rarely and judiciously. And if you need to cyberstalk something, use Twitter and Facebook for their original intentions: finding ex-boyfriends/girlfriends and flaunting how hot you are after 60 days of INSANITY®.

"I am very disappointed with the natural flavor of fruits and vegetables I purchase from my local grocery stores. The produce looks succulent; however, when you taste it, it has no flavor. It taste bland. When I was a child, I remember the district flavor of eatihng a juciy, red ripe strawberry. Strawberrys now look beautiful but lack in texture and sweetness. YUCK!!"

"I would just suggest going to the pcrm.org website to read the real TRUTH about veggies and fruit because this person doesn't know what he's talking about. Whenever you cook fruit or veggies, they lose a LOT of their nutritive value. And fruits and veggies taste great by themselves if you haven't tainted your taste buds with the sugar and salt laden diet of fast food crap. Eating meat causes ALL heart disease and drinking milk (liquid meat) causes diabetes and cancer. Get the facts."

I've said this before but my husband is a true meat and potatoes man. To the core. Hard core. So naturally, he went nuts over this.
But he does love garlic, so garlic it is!
Give your potatoes a good scrub with a paper towel or rinse them off a bit and dry.
Feel free to add a bit more cream as necessary.
So none of the butter and cream can escape while cooking.
Be careful when opening the packets because the steam is gonna come outta there fast and furious. Now dig in!
Serves 4
Cook's Note: Trying doing these on the grill. Prepare the same way.
Put on a grill sheet over medium heat for about 35-45 minutes (check after the first 30 minutes).
Also, make sure you clean your grill really well. If there are any old, crusty bits on your grates, then it may poke a hole in the aluminum foil (or you could just double-foil these packets).

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women's basketball team is in a familiar place this season – defending its Southern Conference crown. The defense starts with a strong home schedule, a tournament in the Pacific and a slightly shortened Southern Conference lineup.
Chattanooga fans will get a first look at the Lady Mocs against Lee University in early November. The Lady Flames will be making their debut as a Division II school, moving up from NAIA. The Lady Mocs will host Alabama, the first of three SEC foes on the schedule, in the home opener on November 8. From their UTC will drive up the road to take on the SEC Tournament Champion Tennessee in a Thursday night matchup on November 14.The Lady Mocs claimed their first DI win over UTK last season at the Roundhouse with an 80-71 win.
UTC will return to the McKenzie Arena to host Belmont, UAB and Auburn over an eight-day period before heading out to take on Missouri, Colorado State and the University of Hawaii in the Ala Moana Classic in Honolulu. The Lady Mocs won the tournament in 2006 and Alex Anderson was named tournament MVP.
After returning to the mainland, the Lady Mocs will remain on the road through December taking on non-conference foes Jacksonville State (12/10), Austin Peay (12/18) and East Tennessee State (12/21). The Bucs will be returning to the Southern Conference next season after departing the league in 2005. Chattanooga will open the SoCon season on the road at UNCG on December 14 followed by its last trip to Elon on December 16.
The New Year will bring the Lady Mocs back home to the Roundhouse which saw a renovation of the lower bowl seating over the summer break. Georgia Southern and Davidson will make their final visit to Chattanooga as a Southern Conference school with each departing at the end of the school year. UTC will next travel to North Carolina to take on Western Carolina and another departing SoCon school, Appalachian State.
A three-game home stand with Wofford, Furman and Samford will fill out the remainder of January. The Lady Mocs will take on the Wildcats and Eagles at the start of February followed by home contests against the Mountaineers and Catamounts. The final road trip of the season begins at Furman followed by Wofford and Samford before closing out the regular season at home against the Spartans and Phoenix in early March.
Chattanooga will join the rest of the league in Asheville, N.C., in defense of its Southern Conference Tournament crown March 7-10. The first two days of the women's tournament will be held on the UNC Asheville campus at Kimmel Arena while the semifinals and final will be moved to the Asheville Civic Center.
From the top down, the Lady Mocs will have a new look despite returning 10 members of the 2013 Southern Conference championship team that posted a 29-4 overall mark, matching a school record for wins, and advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the ninth time in 13 years.
Jim Foster, a 2013 Women's Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, replaces long-time head coach Wes Moore at the helm. Through 35 years at three different Division I schools, Foster has an overall record of 783-307 and is ranked 11th all-time in victories. He is the only coach to lead three different DI schools to more than 200 wins. (St. Joseph's – 248-126; Vanderbilt – 256-99; Ohio State – 279-82). Foster is currently serving his fourth term on the selection committee for USA Basketball and is the Chair of the U19 National Team.
Joining Southern Conference Tournament MVP Ashlen Dewart (Spartanburg, S.C.), All-Conference selection Taylor Hall (New Tazewell, Tenn.), All-Freshman Team member Tatianna Jackson (Atlanta, Ga.) will be six freshmen. Moses Johnson (Greenforest-McCalep Christian Academy), Whitney Hartlage (Mercy Academy) and Chelsey Shumpert (Tilghman High School) will provide depth at the guard position depleted by the graduation of seniors Kayla Christopher and Kylie Lambert. Aryanna Gilbert of Columbia Central and Southhaven High School's Jasmine Joyner will add to the depth in the blocks while Ansley Chilton of Dade County will redshirt the season.
Also returning for Chattanooga will be all-tournament point guard Alex Black (Memphis, Tenn.) along with fellow senior guard Meghan Downes (Newnan, Ga.) and posts Faith Dupree (Knoxville, Tenn.) and Destiny Bramblett (Radcliff, Ky.). Juniors Kayla Freeman (Carlton, Ga.) and Ka'Vonne Towns (Lilburn, Ga.) along with sophomore point guard Alicia "Red" Payne (Memphis, Tenn.).
Larry Ward, Director of Broadcasting for the Chattanooga Lookouts, will begin his 13th season as the "Voice of the Lady Mocs". All games will be carried on the Mocs flagship station ESPN Radio 105.1 FM unless otherwise noted.
The College of Charleston departed the Southern Conference this season for the Colonial Athletic Association leaving the Southern Conference with 10 women's teams and an 18-game league slate. Davidson and Elon will join the Cougars in the CAA following this season while Georgia Southern and Appalachian State will be moving to the Sun Belt Conference in 2014-15.
Season tickets are on sale now at GoMocs.com and the McKenzie Arena box office. New for the 2013-14 season: women's basketball season ticket holders will now be able to access reserved seating and parking! Contact the ticket office for more information at 423-266-MOCS (6627).

Senior Scholar Jeff Schloss Reviews "Faith vs. Fact" by Jerry Coyne in The Washington Post

Jeff Schloss argues that Jerry Coyne's elevation of "fact" over "faith" is based in a misunderstanding of both science and religion.
As practitioners of the emerging science of geology dug up previously unknown creatures of enormous size, readers of their books and articles responded with a mix of fascination and anxiety.
These finds open up a new horizon of research into the earliest hominins and how they lived. They also provide us with even more clues in our ongoing search for the last common ancestor.
Though the fossil record does not include every plant and animal that ever lived, it provides substantial evidence for the common descent of life via evolution. The fossil record is a remarkable gift for the study of nature.
When we make distinctions between natural and supernatural activity in Scripture, not only do we push our modern categories into the Bible, but we also limit God's action.
In none of these cases was Newton inserting God into a "gap" into our knowledge that science would someday fill. Rather, his prior belief in God helped him arrive at attitudes and ideas that have unquestionably advanced our understanding of nature.
The biggest science stories of the week are reviewed.
Many arguments claiming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. A popular argument is that, since all effects come from causes, there must have been a "first cause" that is outside the material world—an "uncaused cause". The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?
James Kidder explains how a stunning fossil discovery affects our understanding of human evolution.
Researchers in the emerging field of Paleogenomics are investigating the past using genetic research.
Is Christianity anti-science? Can Christians be good scientists? Is science the only source of true knowledge? Pastor Dave Gustavsen of Jacksonville Chapel addresses these issues.
A short guide to where BioLogos fits in the origins debate.
Interview with Bill Nye and follow-up thoughts from president Haarsma.
Divine Hiddenness is the claim that our public evidence is strong enough to make Christian faith reasonable, but not strong enough to make it compelling.
In the early 1700s, Isaac Newton and Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz famously disagreed about whether God periodically "corrected" the orbits of the planets. Why their disagreement matters for today's debates about God and evolution.
Pope Francis is reiterating a basic claim in Catholic Christianity: If one acknowledges that God creates by giving creatures not only their existence but also their natures, one can reconcile an evolutionary worldview with the Christian faith.
While reading about and studying the processes that gave rise to this astonishing world, please don't forget that it is beautiful. It is not merely mechanics, but poetry.

Senate President Pro Tem Phil Berger is out of the gate with tax reform. He is calling for reduction, possible elimination, of personal and corporate income taxes and increases in consumption taxes that would mean most services currently exempt to the sales tax, such as auto repairs, haircuts and lawn services, would be taxed.
Caution Senator Berger: sharp curves and slippery roads ahead. You need bipartisan support. Gov. Pat McCrory needs bipartisan support. Lots of folks and lots of interest groups have a stake in the tax code.
No doubt most North Carolinians understand that we have an antiquated tax code based in a past decade where the economy was quite different from today. The Economic Future Study Commission recommended reform 20 years ago. The reason: anticipation of a changing economy. There is agreement on the need to modernize but the devil is in the details. And those details need some level of bipartisan support if for no other reason than political cover.
Republicans may have supermajorities and the Governor's office now but tax reform without bipartisan support could be an easy messaging win for Democrats heading into 2014. Jack Betts wrote that tax reform will "take a lot of guts." Changing the tax code and restructuring means having the courage to stand up and stand down a lot of interest groups when another election is right around the corner even if you do get to help those who helped you get elected.
There's already a messaging vehicle Democrats can ride – that nagging redistricting plan drawn by the Republicans that is still in the courts and could be there a while. Two million North Carolinians were placed into split precincts, five times the number of people in past redistricting efforts.
Changing demographics in N.C. favor Democrats. Policies that hurt large numbers of those constituencies should sound the alarm for Republicans, especially McCrory. Transferring revenue-raising to increasing sales taxes will have a pronounced effect on the poor, and our economy is still very weak. Poverty has been on the rise. McCrory ran as a moderate, level-headed leader who can bring people together. Recent polls show him slipping after appointments of controversial folks. A tax reform package that is neither fair or level will be dumped on his feet. His four year term and future political ambitions will be judged on the quality of the N.C. economy. He needs bipartisan support on tax reform or he could flat line on support.

Ron Guth: The 1924-S Peace Dollar is a low mintage date, but one which can be found easily in circulated grades and most of the lower Mint State grades. However, in Gem condition, the 1924-S is one of the great condition-rarities in the Peace Dollar series (the 1927-S is slightly tougher and the 1928-S is much rarer). The difficulty in finding a Gem 1924-S lies in the general poor quality with which these coins were made. Most examples are lackluster, with heavily abraded surfaces, and a poor strike. The few exceptions are few and far between; certainly not enough to satisfy the demand from collectors of this popular series. Only a handful have earned the MS-66 grade and none have been graded finer by PCGS (as of 11/12/2010).

As creaky as an arthritic hip, "Last Vegas" does for four leading stars of the '70s and '80s what movies like "Tough Guys" and "Grumpy Old Men" did for survivors of Hollywood's storied Golden Age: It lets them show they can still throw a punch, bust a move, and get it on, and that they're not quite ready for the Motion Picture Home just yet. Beyond that, this genteel "Hangover" for the AARP crowd has little to recommend it, though a smattering of funny gags and the nostalgia value of the cast keeps the whole thing more watchable than it has any right to be.
2 1/2 (out of five stars)
Director: Jon Turteltaub
Cast: Robert De Niro, Michael Douglas, Morgan Freeman, Kevin Kline, Mary Steenburgen
Rated: PG-13 for sexual content and language
Running time: 1 hour, 44 minutes
One doesn't exactly expect "Death in Venice" from a movie that begins on a shot of female cellulite jiggling beneath the surface of a Florida community pool. But as various senior-centric pics have proven, from Martin Brest's delightful caper "Going in Style" to Ron Howard's "Cocoon," going gray isn't automatically an impediment to a screenplay that consists of more than death and Viagra jokes. But "Last Vegas" scribe Dan Fogelman (who wrote the monumentally smarter and shrewder "Crazy, Stupid, Love") pretty much sticks to the lowest common denominator as he contrives to get four childhood friends together in Sin City for the bachelor party of the last unmarried man among them.
He's named Billy and played by a blow-dried, spray-tanned Michael Douglas in what feels like a watered-down version of the actor's magnificent aging lothario from 2009's "Solitary Man." When Billy impulsively proposes to his strapping 31-year-old girlfriend (in the midst of delivering a friend's eulogy, no less), best bud Sam (Kevin Kline) — the one trapped in that infernal Florida swimming pool — suggests a boy's weekend in Vegas, and the rest of this white-haired wolf pack is soon to follow. Back when they were kids on the streets of Brooklyn, Billy and his pals were known as the Flatbush Four, though now they're mainly just flat and bushed: In addition to Sam, there's stroke survivor Archie (Morgan Freeman, essentially reprising his "Bucket List" character) and surly widower Paddy (Robert De Niro), who hasn't forgiven Billy for skipping out on his wife's funeral (she was their shared childhood sweetheart).
From all points they converge on the ultra-luxurious Aria casino resort, where they find themselves comped with a penthouse suite — and a personal concierge (Romany Malco) — after Archie cleans house at the blackjack table. That pretty much gives them the run of the place, though they do make one important side trip to nearby Binion's, where Billy catches the eye of a jazz chanteuse shimmering in a sparkly mauve gown as she belts out "Only You" in a desolate hotel bar.
The singer, Diana (Mary Steenburgen), is also "of a certain age" and has been around the block a few times, but unlike her male counterparts in "Last Vegas," she's been written as more than a one-dimensional type, and she's played by the marvelous Steenburgen with a richness that goes even beyond what's on the page. She's an oasis of real, grown-up emotion in a movie that often feels more sophomoric (and a lot less funny) than the concurrent "Bad Grandpa."
The rest of the movie rarely if ever rises to Steenburgen's level. Most of the comic payoffs are so obviously telegraphed that the audience can see them coming within a few frames of the setup. Actors like these can sometimes be a pleasure to watch even when saddled with sitcom material, because their timing and delivery is still better than most. But in "Last Vegas," everyone seems to be on a mildly diverting paid vacation, especially Freeman, who can scarcely disguise his contempt for the material. He doesn't just seem to be phoning it in; he seems to be emailing it in from his trailer.

text: I got a little more work done on the build over the last few days. I got the ejection port cleaned up some with files. I left it on the smaller side so I can open it up as needed. I never did get the die grinder yet. Since my build is going to look mostly like a suomi I decided to go ahead and use the original type charging handle. Since I'm using a thick receiver I'll need to either make a new taller lug or add some metal to the old one to make it tall enought to retract the bolt. I rough cut a slot .325" wide starting 1.29" from the back and 5.56" in length. I centered the slot by using a piece of angle iron and using the notch for the feed ramp. The long 5.56" length cocking slot actually extends to the back of the fireing pin and serves as the opening for the hammer as well. I decided a while ago to get a remington hammer and sear set up from a 870 or 1100. The remington hammer is thin so I shouldn't have to widen the cocking/hammer slot any. Thats where I'm at now, I"ll get a picture of the updates on in the morning.

That is a day brightener! Your mom did a fabulous job!
If your SERIOUS about sneaking it home tomorrow, I suggest you implement part of the plan today. Perhaps you could casually drape something OVER the pillow TODAY so when you sneak the pillow out TOMORROW it won't be missed as quickly. :)))
Plan B could be to ask your mom to make you one... 'cause I'm betting she would. Moms like it when you like the stuff they make!

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 3 mph
To The Editor:
I walk. I run. I bike. I drive. I live in Fayston. I think having a safe pedestrian path through Waitsfield Village is wonderful for our health and safety. But it is a sad day for those who also bicycle this route. Our safety has been measurably compromised.
Despite the new signs and stenciled markings, there is no bike path on Route 100 through Waitsfield. There is a terribly paved, narrow shoulder full of debris. Hard curbs recently installed trap yet more debris and trap bicyclists.
And what's with the curbs that abut only grassy areas? They serve no function and are an obstacle for bicyclists.
But wait, after several hundred yards of the newly declared bike lane, driving north toward Bridge Street, another new sign declares that the bike lane ends! Drivers cannot even see the sign due to one of those errant utility poles in the path and hanging tree branches. Who authorized these signs?
Finally, the several feet wide shoulder that used to exist in this same spot where the bike lane ends, next to the Bridge Street Marketplace, has been taken up by the new path. I am sure every walker in Waitsfield would have been happy to have a path half as wide and saved some of the shoulder to give bikers a little more space.
The only solution at this point is to remove the unnecessary curbs, take away the signs indicating bike lanes and bike lane endings and put up signs for bikers and motorists both north and southbound that the "road narrows" and "share the road" as you approach the Bridge Street area of Route100.
Please give us all a chance to be healthy and safe!

An Interstate highway runs through a rural area in our state. My friend uses 'white' noise, to cover up the traffic noise. Motorcycles are by far worse noise than big trucks. Power mowers run from April to October daily in the neighborhoods. Leaf blowers are incredibly loud. People don't use brooms or rakes any longer. If anyone out there has any ideas that would be great...........cause I don't have a clue how to get away from noise.

The lights are on
Please bear with us as we have launched in beta so you may notice a bug or two. The best thing you can do is let us know right here in the Site Feedback Forum. Have a question or comment regarding the new site? This is your place.
I think it is a highly logical and very useful idea that we get to download and store the digital issues of the magazine to our hard drives. I for one travel a lot, and so decided it was a better idea to switch from the paper mag to the digital one, but depending on where I am, periodically my internet does not work. This means I can't enjoy the issue when I am not online, which is not so much fun.
Another point I had, is the back issues. We pay to subscribe to Gameinformer, yet this new digital format doesn't allow us to look at passed issues, only the current one. With the original magazine being delivered, we have access to all of our collection (I've been a subscriber since I was about 13) whenever we feel like reading one for an old rating, or even a taste of nostalgia from old games or even funny old advertisements. I don't know about you, but the, "Hey I remember that!" reaction is very soothing and peaceful to me, reminds me of an awesome childhood/teenhood.
Please Gameinformer, let us download the magazine we love and pay for every single year! Or we may have to get back on the paper trail.
I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum, and I'm all outta bubblegum..
I second this, with the added suggestion that you consider a subscription tier that allows us to subscribe to both print and digital versions of the magazine. The digital version is very enjoyable with a lot of content not in the print version, but you can't set the last several issues of the digital version on your coffee table for guests to read. You can't read the digital version (conveniently) while sitting in your doctor's waiting room.
The print and the digital versions both fill a need/desire with the consumers, but they're not mutually exclusive needs/desires. I personally would pay extra (not double) for a subscription to both. As it is, I will not give up my print version and so must miss out on the experience and extra content of the digital version. As the OP also said, I've been a subscriber for years and have all my back-copies and enjoy the nostalgia of glancing back at the older issues. I won't give that up.
So please, I implore you, consider a subscription tier that allows us to subscribe to both print and digital versions of the magazine.
One cool thing I've found out is a lot of people that work at Gamestop know how we feel, and will just give you an issue. Always works for me, I explain why I wish I had the paper version, mostly for toilet reading haha, and they just say, "Yea dude that makes sense, well you can go ahead and grab one of those if you want." and wah-lah, I've got both
I completely agree the idea to be able to download and other stuff.
To cooperate in developing ideas for a better magazine, there are several comments I present since I was able to enjoy the full experience of the digital version:
1) The digital version is an immersing experience, which brings so much more to GI magazine.
2) The reason why anyone would consider having the digital version is the extra content they would be able to review. This content would obviously needs to be available in a portable manner that feels similar to having the magazine in your hands. As such, the digital version requires great compatibility with different computers or tablets. Sadly, the digital version in my experience could only be seen in the home computer to experience fully the extra content (including the videos). These were not compatible with the iPad, so the extra content (videos and pictures) was lost, only then been able to have the same experience as the magazine. Until this is addressed many customers, such as myself, who benefit from portability of systems such as the iPad, won't consider changing to the digital version.
3) Furthermore, many magazines have started to include the digital version as a free add on to benefit thier customers, which means they would benefit from both the printed magazine and digital content. If a switch to the digital version is considered as a plus since it reduces operation costs for printing and mailing, additional benefits should be given to customers to promote the change such as price reduction, several coupons for discounts as GameStop, or other stuff like that. If not, the digital version should be left as a bonus to be enjoyed by existing customers, similar to what other magazines have done.
I wanted to share my comments through this forum to be able to improve the implementation of the digital version, specially since I really enjoyed it and think many people would consider changing if their needs were correctly addressed.
Carlos, you've taken the words right out of my mouth!
GI: there is no possibility of me giving up my print subscription. As an avid reader, I enjoy the physical interaction with books, mags and newspapers.
As a geek and a corporate executive who travels frequently, I also enjoy the benefits of digital reading.
I'd love to be able to see the digital version of GI on my iPad, for one thing. I know that is a technical problem (no flash on iPad), but I think you do well to extend your reach to that market segment.
Setting aside that technical issue for a moment, I can't expect to access the digital version of GI for free merely because I subscribe to the print version. Carlos makes a good point that your overhead for the digital version should be a little lower than the print version. However, I do recognize that you are providing additional content through the digital version by including interactivity, videos, audio and the like. I realize this costs you money and the model isn't simply that of providing scans of the print version online.
Having said that, most of the content is the same online as it is in print version. So, following that logic, I'd be willing to essentially "pay the difference" to get access to the online version. Charge print subscribers a few extra dollars to help offset the production costs of the online extras. I'd pay a small upgrade fee for that.
I paid extra for "iPlayboy" recently, too. Having been a print subscriber for 10 years now I have my own archive. But that publisher made available every single page of every single magazine since the very first Monroe edition all in full color and iPad compatible. It also publishes each new month's magazine online for viewing. The online membership is independent of the print subscription in their case but Playboy is arguably far more collectible than GI and they can command the additional fee. In my case that gave access to archives of material published before I was even born.
Anyway, that's a bit off track but the point I wanted to make is that there are successful print and online models out there. I think you would find you could actually increase top line and bottom line by extending an online discount to your print subscribers since many of them are not going to make the switch or pay double for online access. You've got number crunchers for that - did they already crunch a loss? I would find that hard to believe.
In conclusion, the following would compel me to pony up some additional coin to you guys:
A substantially discounted subsccription fee to the online magazine (digimag????) for current print subscribers;
Prorated fee set to coincide with the billing/renewal cycle of my print subscription so that I only have a single bill to deal with;
iPad compatibility either through an iPad app or through a non-flash based method of online presentation; and, finally,
Downloadable issues that I can archive on my hard drive.
I truly believe you can increase your revenue (obviously) and your net by finding a way to include your built in audience of loyal print subscribers.
Thanks for listening and I hope you take these comments to heart.
I agree with the above posts. Having an offline version of the digital magazine would help a lot for us travelers. Could you consider an app for Android or iPhone? That would be amazing!
Also, given that the digital version has had so many bugs, I have not been able to read a single digital issue since September. Really upsetting, I was expecting that you guys would have had this all figured out before most of us in our excitement made the digital switch. So now I don't have a digital version or a paper copy.
Please listen to us, and fix the bugs. We're counting on you guys.
i dont know what GI did, but after 3 months of no mag, I can now, lo and behold, see a launch button... and.... yes, I can read the magazine! Wow. Did the complaining do the trick? I don't know. The world may never know.
I can see how downloading it could lead to people just downloading it from other websites and whatnot. Given that, why not allow download of older issues instead then. Current issue is online only and maybe after 3 months the copy can be downloaded and kept permanently, like the hard copy is now.
I just changed to digital version this month and started to regret it! I thought we could at least download the issues (Specially after paying the same money than the print version) I see no advantage at all having this, so I will give it a month of trial and if I hate it (as I am doing it right now) I will switch back!
I just renewed my subscription and was the sales clerk kinda pushed the digital version saying it came out earlier and gave you more content like videos. It sounded like a great deal cause I get other magazines digitally on my tablet like wired. What makes Wired the digital version so.great is being able to download it and then read it anywhere also having access to all issuses you have subscribed too. You have a great magazine so don't get in your own way, take Wired's lead I bet most takers have tablets and would get your magazine app it would only get you more subscribers. I do love your magazine and don't mean to complain too much cause I'm sure you will make it downloadable at some point I just want it to happen surer.
I'm one board with the above posters. I recently switched to the digital edition thinking i could view it on my nookcolor but it's too glitchy to use on that. If there was a nookcolor specific version along with zinio and coverleaf versions instead of this craptastic flash based thing that freezes constantly.
I was told by a GAMESTOP EMPLOYEE that the digital version was a DOWNLOADABLE PDF. This is so far from the truth, it's depressing.
I agree totally! We should be able to download the mags, I mean we still pay the same price for our subscription so being able to download and read it where and whenever we want would be awesome. Also it would be great if they had an App for the magazine so that would could look at the magazine on an android based Tablet! Currently when I try to view the magazine online on my tablet I can't scroll up or down because the website automatically makes you view the magazine for an iphone or ipad and it doesn't show up right on an android OS. I hope GI is considering these issues and will soon allow us to download the mags and also view them on android based devices.
I agree too!!! We should be able to download the magazines!!!!
I just switched mine back to print copy becouse I cannot view the magizine very well on any mobile device.
Kind of sucks becouse it looks great on a PC, problem is a magizine should be portable and not have to worry about connecting to internet to get your magizine VIA browser.
Too bad becouse I was really looking forward to that option.

Forward Anton Rodin scored the lone goal for Chicago, which captured the Amtrak Rivalry trophy despite the loss. The Wolves earned 14 points in the 12-game series to the Admirals' 12. Right wing Darren Haydar was named the Amtrak Rivalry MVP after posting 13 points (5G, 8A) in 11 games against the Admirals this year.
"They took it to us pretty hard in the second and my expectation was to push back in the third, and we did," said Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish. "It is never fun to lose, but I hope we gave the big crowd some entertainment."
The Admirals bagged the game-winner at 3:21 of overtime. Defenseman Jonathan Blum stripped a Wolves skater at the blue line and skated in on Chicago goaltender Eddie Lack with center Chris Mueller on a two-on-zero break. Blum slipped the puck from the near circle over to Mueller, who hammered home the game-winner.
After a scoreless first period, Milwaukee (39-29-2-5) opened scoring at the 15:27 mark of the middle frame. The Admirals skated in the Wolves zone on a three-on-two break and right wing Ryan Thang's pass attempt from the near circle was redirected off a Wolves defenseman's stick and over the shoulder of goaltender Eddie Lack.
Lack (21-20-3) kicked out 28 of 30 shots in regulation and overtime.
Chicago (41-27-4-3) knotted the score at one with 6:33 remaining in the third period when Rodin controlled the puck in the far circle and snapped a quick wrister that sailed under the bar and over the glove of Milwaukee netminder Jeremy Smith.
Smith (30-19-2) posted 22 saves.
The Wolves wrap up their 18th regular season when they host the Peoria Rivermen in an Illinois Lottery Cup contest at 4 p.m. Sunday at the Allstate Arena. Chicago opens the 2012 Calder Cup playoffs next week against an opponent still to be determined.
Milwaukee 0 1 0 1 -- 2
Chicago 0 0 1 0 -- 1
First Period---None. Penalties---Laakso, Milwaukee (interference), 10:59; Matson, Chicago (tripping), 13:16; Valentine, Milwaukee (interference), 16:44.
Second Period---1, Milwaukee, Thang 16 (Blum), 15:27. Penalties---Dupont, Milwaukee (fighting), 16:27; Clackson, Chicago (instigating, fighting, misconduct), 16:27.
Third Period---2, Chicago, Rodin 10 (Haydar, Lack), 13:27. Penalties---Henry, Chicago (goaltender interference), 5:39.
Overtime---3, Milwaukee, Mueller 32 (Blum), 3:21. Penalties---None.
Shots on goal---Milwaukee: 7-14-7-2--30. Chicago: 10-5-8-0--23. Power plays---Milwaukee: 0-3; Chicago: 0-2. Goalies---Milwaukee, Smith (22-23). Chicago, Lack (28-30). A---15,719. Referee---Graham Skilliter. Linesmen---Mathieu Chenier and Peter Cichy.

Tried it out - liked it
Was searching for a place to grab a sandwich in Malad, when I came across this on Burrp, so decided to check it out. Like mentioned in an earlier review, its pretty small with about 4 tables for four (outside seating).
The person there was very friendly and nice to talk to. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich which was nice. He recommended a pineapple-mosambi jiuce, which was really nice and fresh.
Overall, I enjoyed my meal and will surely visit again.

Super juices!
Went there last night with my mom and 4 year old daughter after reading rave reviews on burrp. Locating the place was not a problem since its diagonally opposite to Grand Hometel. The sitting area is minimal with 4 tables and chairs.
Since this was our first visit to the place, we left the juice and food choices with the owner, Suketu. An affable person and someone who knows what he's doing. He gave us testers for 2 juices (kiwi + jamum and mango + mulberry). Before deciding, I happened too glance at the targola fruit (the English name is palm fruit I was told after enquiring) lying at the counter and asked if this can be used in a juice. Yes, it could be had with litchi and tender coconut. I ordered one and viola! The concoction was so cool and great that we ordered a repeat :) The other juice we ordered was a kiwi and jamum drink which was also fab!
We were hungry as well and settled on a Pizza and a veg grilled sandwich recommended by Suketu. I forget the name of the sandwich now though.. Both the items were good, though could be improved.
The USP of the place is clearly the exotic fruit juices and milkshakes (Suketu proudly told me they don't add water or sugar to any of the drinks :). The heady mix I had of tender coconut, palm fruit and litchi was beyond super and I will definitively be making another trip for this before the season for palm fruit is over.
A place worth a visit for all in this heat. Your are sure to feel refreshed!!
May 21, 2012response from management at Venue6:
Thanks for the review. We Appreciate you taking out the time to express it. Do keep coming back and do keep letting us know your opinion.
we come up with new fruit juices every season, you will definitely find more & more interesting fruits to try and enjoy your favorite ones.

Excellence delivered again and again
This is one place I have never been disappointed and sometimes I travel all the way to Malad just to visit them and have what they offer best the exotic fruit juices. Its true they have redefined the way I looked at fruit juices which to me was always boring with same oranges, mangoes or chikoo etc.. but the juices you get here are simply amazing.. So much to chose from and such exotic flavors dragon fruit, kiwis, mulberry etc. I am in love with this place and I truly believe this place deserves every bit of success they have revolutionized the mindset in their line of service and they deserve a pat on their back for this. Not to forget Suketu and the staff are extremely courteous and make this place an amazing place to hang out.

Thank you Sandhya :)

Venue6 is here to stay!
Seldom do we come across a veggie joint in Mumbai that serves the entire gamut of sandwiches, pizzas, juices, and shakes. What I liked most about V6 is that the owner, Mr. Suketu Nandaniya, goes that extra mile that few would do today to make sure that the customers get the best of the season. 'Innovation, he produly claims' is the name of the game'. And that's what we get: Fresh juices of fruits procurred from around the globe, and some more!
Placed in a quaint lane near V Rock, V6 easy to find. We raced through the menu, and ordered ourselves BBQ Pizza and Pathani Grill, which instantly blew us. The BBQ Pizza is a thin crust pizza that had a great BBQ sauce with the softest cottage cheese that added that new taste dimension that left me wanting for more.
To beat the Mumbai heat, we ordered fresh juices in Tropical Fusion and Mulberry Kiwi. The juices were fresh and served ice cold. the flavours were for real, instead of some processed can juice, and tasted like heaven. We wanted some more of V6 and some typical 'Mumbaiya' flavour so we went ahead and ordered the Italian Grill Sandwich and some Crispy Bhel. When in Mumbai a bhel is a must have, no? The Italian Sandwich was just made right with some delicious, authentic mozerella cheese which melted on our taste buds. The Crispy Bhel was 'bole to ekdam 'paisa vasool' kya? A few things that V6 is doing well alright are Free Home Delivery within a specified distance, a special add-on in of enjoying the Internet via free Wi-Fi for its customers only. The prices are just right, and the quality is super-awesome. Make sure that you check-out their seasonal offerings from time-to-time.

Now this is one seriously good place and very affordable. At least if you wish to chill out with friends, with a juice, pizza or sandwich in the open air, with a stunning crowd.
As someone mentioned earlier, it is a "Hidden Gem", so very true!!!
A great place for good quick bites...
Service is quick as well... :)
Thank You Venue6

Intrestingly Different
This place is very close to my house but dint notice it. One of friend told me other day it is worth going here and i m glad i did. i m a fruit and juice lover since i am particular about my health. These guys are so good in exotic and Indian juices that this place has become a place of my visit everyday . i just love the various exotic fusion they make . i never thought ever someone would serve mulberry juices. They are simply good .. Perfect menu for some different grub . Full 5 stars :) thank you Venue6

Rad some reviews on burrp and decide to reach this place. Its a treat for your palate i must say . Totally different sort of menu , wide range of exotic fruit and juices , superb sandwich mixes , and supercilious desserts .. to seal the eve the fantastic strawberry cream .. it beats all the cream i have ever had ... i wish they could deliver it in Andheri .. 5 stars for a different experience..
March 3, 2012response from management at Venue6:
We are glad to hear that you liked our strawberry cream. We have lots of customers who come regularly to cherish that !!! Thanks , ask for the strawberry desert next time when you are in :)
Simply delightfull - Strawberry cream
i had about the juices they serve from one of my friend but dint find time to visit this place. i happen to be around & i saw this place and thought of trying a few things .. i had some lovely pizza ... totally diferent .. i asked the indian chinese style and they did it .. it was simply awesome .. but the best what i loved about this place was Thier STRAWBERRY CREAM ... i just loved it .. i always use to have them at mahabaleshwar .. but this one beats those guys as well ... try it .. u will love it ..
fantastic food and juices ...
i read the reviews on burrp and thought of going here to taste some juices and a pizza. They offered me awesome mixes. I tried the lovely strawberry and mulberry fusion juice. This place is going to rock as its just so different from any other juice and fast food bar.

Not actually Italian Pizza
I went to Venue6 for the pizza. Did not try the juices nor do I think I will be trying any due to the fact that the location is very off putting.
The pizza I ordered and paid Rs. 10 extra for was to be made with real mozzarella cheese. It was not. I ate the first slice and at its best, this is pizza that you can get at any South Indian/North Indian restaurant in the suburbs. The taste is that of a pre-baked crust you could get at your local bakery with some spicy sauce and Gowardhan (unmelted) cheese.
What I expected from their ads in Crazeal was an actual authentic pizza on par with what one would find at other brick oven or at least Italian themed restaurants in the city.
A big disappointment and I guarantee that if you actually visit this location, it will not be very appealing. It's located smack dab across an auto garage and the cooking staff is not knowledgeable about much.
Again, haven't tried the juices, I'm sure they're fine, but I truly feel cheated by the misleading ads and the disappointment that only a desi pizza place can bring.
November 03,2011
Fantastic is not the word
I haven't had fusion juices like these ever ... the combinations they have ... it is difficult to resist ... i simply love trying new & new juices they have to offer ...
i could not believe when the owner said they were not rigid with the menu and were willing to experiment based on my likings and the fruits i like ...
Super customer friendly ...

Just Too Good, and Too Reasonable Priced
I have visited this place with my wife. Want to say that the food quality is very good and is very delicious. Had tried desserts and Pizzas.
Overall Price is also very reasonable.
I would recommend to the owner if he plans to open multiple branches like dominos or McD, it would be very profiting to him as well as to us.
Will keep visiting this place regularly.
One question to ask to Suketu bhai, which is that pizza, the one you have shown on the sosasta advertisement flash screen?
I am just so delighted for visiting this place.

Unique ...
Had been here around 1 month ago but I felt that the menu was same as Bunty Juice Center in Borivali, the juices and sandwiches are almost the same and only names are different. Well about the food, I had ordered Pahadi sandwich which was really good and a layer of spinach at the bottom..Didn't like the pizza much as the cheese used in it was not good..The juices were really good...Best place to have juices after Bunty Juice Center....Both have many similarities, I guess...But as this place is close to my house, I will go here.
October 24, 2011response from management at Venue6:
Hi, Thanks for your feedback.
On the opportunities bit you mentioned that there was some issue with cheese.. We use Mozzarella & Processed cheese from reputed and top most manufacturing company. I am not sure what went wrong but we will make a note of it .. There are some pizzas who just go good with processed cheese, may be that could be one of the reason if mozzarella cheese was used in this case. Please drop in someday and let me know , i will work on the same pizza and lets c the difference. Also the other bit you mentioned we are simi

Fresh Juices and Tasty Pizzas
Although a small place, the Venue 6 menu boasts of some unique items that one may not find anywhere else. Suketu, the owner, is extremely hospitable and will make sure that you have a good experience. The juices and the pizzas were very, very tasty!
The one gripe I have is that the place is a little cramped and has no air conditioning, but the extremely friendly service compensated for that. The owner was also kind enough to offer us samples of the juices that we wanted to try. The menu could definitely be more descriptive so it would save the staff the trouble of having to explain the ingredients.

Commissioner Tommy Robinson is leading the effort to streamline the cost of running Jones County's nine convenience centers, which costs taxpayers a million dollars a year to manage.
The commissioners looked at two plans, the first closed six centers one additional day each week and three centers a third day. That plan leaves the schedules of the three busiest centers, Overland Way, Garrison Road, and Rock Creek, unchanged.
The second simpler plan closed all centers one additional day, which would mean all the centers would be closed Monday and Thursday. Commissioner Jonathan Pitts appeared to be alone in his preference for the second plan.
Both plans will save the county $45,000 to $50,000 a year. The annual savings of closing the centers for a day is $5,375, and both plans close centers for a total of nine days.
Chairman Preston Hawkins said the reason the first plan is preferred is it will effectively give all convenience center full-time employees the number or hours required to keep their benefits and keep open the three busiest centers the maximum possible number of days.

Don't worry about kids falling out of this tree. It's terrible for a tree house, or just for climbing, and for pretty obvious reasons.
It is a native deciduous plant, fairly common from New York through the lower Midwest, and south to Texas and northern Florida. Most people would consider this plant something of a shrub, but it does get to be tree-sized, that is, short tree-sized, with the tallest usually about 30 or so feet high. The plants grow quickly in a variety of woodland habitats, often on open, disturbed ground. Otherwise, they can handle reasonably shady places. The plants are quite striking when they reach any appreciable size, for a variety of reasons.
The plants themselves are only sparingly branched, and so a thicket of these will sometime have a kind of "stickly", willowy look. The plants frequently spread themselves by runners, just below the soil surface. The leaves are quite impressive: technically, they are the largest leaves of any North American tree species. Each leaf is equipped with a smooth, pale brown stalk, and the blade is divided over and over again into many dozens of teardrop-shaped leaflets. Because most people will look at the entire leaf and see only leaflets, they think the leaf itself is small. But the leaf is definitely compound, and big ones can be nearly 4 feet long. The autumn foliage is attractive, a sort of shiny yellow. In winter condition, the scar produced by the falling leaf is quite prominently U-shaped, something like a smile, and each of these leaf scars will reveal a series of vascular bundle scars within, arranged in a crescent. Small white flowers are produced in umbrella-like clusters in large, branched arrangements toward the top of the trunk. A variety of insects love the flowers, including bees, wasps and several butterflies. In late summer, the young fruits begin to swell and turn dark, eventually becoming shiny purple-black, and very juicy. Delicious for birds…although when I sampled one or two, they were terrible!
But the wondrous thing about this plant must be the fantastic assortment of "stickers" it exhibits. The young stickers are pliable and green, but eventually become hardened, or indurated, both hook-shaped as well as straight. The sharp stickers may be found all up and down the stems, and also on the leaf stalks and successive divisions of the leaf blade. You'll also see a prominent "crown" of these things associated with each leaf scar. (Note that these stickers are technically what we call "prickles," and are not thorns, as they contain no vascular tissue. The "thorns" of a rose bush are also prickles. If you want true thorns, you might consider something like the treacherous honey-locust.)
This native species makes a wonderful addition to the back border of a garden, as long as you can handle its sprouts, from the runners. The flowers and fruits are attractive to wildlife, and the fall foliage is nice. Be sure to tell your friends that it is a relative of ginseng (and English ivy!).)
