We're truly impressed that WFM continues to demonstrate a deep willingness to change, and in this case, lead. We're also in total awe of their marketing department and its ability to connect all the dots. Public awareness of plastic bags and plastic water bottles has grown tremendously over the past year, and the idea of taking this step and banning plastic from a store was an idea ripe for the picking (And it's still a hot issue. We'll have two bag-related stories in our next issue of SN Whole Health coming out in February).
But again, John Mackey and company have beaten conventional retailers to the tree. As a result, they get all the publicity, their reputation as a progressive, ethical retailer is reinforced and, well, they get to start saving big bucks by eliminating this line item from their annual budget.
This type of "message marketing" (my term) is yet another wake-up call to mainstream retailers. Health and wellness is an ideal vehicle for such initiatives because it makes people feel good. Let's face it. It's a lot easier to convince shoppers to sacrifice convenience when you tell them it's for the sake of the environment.
This isn't the first time WFM has trumped the conventional industry. Remember lobsters? The chain announced it was phasing out live sales in June 2006 because the whole process of catching them and getting them to the stores amounted to animal cruelty.
Here's something I bet you did not remember: The month before, Safeway said it was phasing out its live lobster tanks. Why? Because... "business was in decline" (their words).
Same idea, different message. Who do you think got the press?

It's Christmas Eve!
But strangely, i am not feeling it. Perhaps it's because we just arrived home safely yesterday from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia and i've not seen the maddening crowds at Orchard Road yet! Haha!
The only thing i baked for X'mas this year is the fruit cake but that post gotta wait a bit because i'm reserving it for tomorrow!
So, for now.. Plum Clafoutis will do ok? ;)
I love plums.
But only the plump, juicy and sweet ones.
When we were given a few batches of plums that weren't so ideal to be eaten just like that, clafoutis came to mind!
I love, love, love clafoutis. This and bread pudding are the only 2 dessert items that i would seriously look out for whenever i'm at buffet or high tea. Grin. Guess i'm a custard kinda girl, huh?
After searching high and low for a suitable recipe, i finally decided on La Tartine Gourmande's recipe. So it's an old old recipe but hey, it's Bea! How bad can it be?
Verdict :
Best with warm vanilla custard sauce or vanilla bean ice cream which balances the tart tasting plums to perfection.
Plum Clafoutis
(from La Tartine Gourmande)
- 2 eggs + 1 egg yolk
- 7 oz milk
- 2 oz cornstarch
- 1/2 cup sugar
- About 1 lb + 2 oz plums
- 3.5 oz heavy cream
- 2 Tbsp butter + 2 Tbsp sugar to cook the plums
i could eat all the plums here! so delish! yes, i stole one to try out of curiosity. :P
- Preheat your oven at 410 F.
- Wash your plums and slice them open. Remove the stones.
- Heat 2 Tbsp butter in a pan. Add the plums and 2 Tbsp sugar and cook for 5 mns. Set aside.
- Butter small molds (or a large one) and sprinkle them with sugar.
- In a bowl, mix together the cold milk with the cornstarch.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with the egg yolk. Add the sugar and mix well. Add the cream and mix.
- Mix the milk/cornstarch preparation with the egg one.
- Place the cooked plums in your molds, face up.
- Pour the preparation over and cook in the oven for about 30 min, until golden.
- Remove from the oven. Sprinkle with sugar and eat lukewarm preferably.
Here's wishing all my lovely blog readers a blessed and merry Christmas! :)

Opportunity has spent its last nine years on Mars doing valuable research. Yet, as it enters its 10th year on the planet, its biggest discoveries and breakthroughs may be yet to come.
The rover has already proven quite conclusively that there was water on the surface of Mars at one point, something that was still debated a few years back. That alone would have made it a very successful mission.
But the rover, which had a planned mission of just three months, has done much more since. It has driven 35 kilometers, 22 miles since 2004 all on solar power.
Its longevity has enabled the rover to reach places the team didn't even consider originally. On the rim of the Endeavour Crater, it's now studying clay minerals created in contact with water billions of years ago.
This region may have been more favorable to life than the previous sites Opportunity explored since it's less acidic. It's here that Opportunity will spend its next few months analyzing the materials and formations it uncovered recently dubbed newberries.
See the gorgeous panorama Opportunity snapped as it celebrated its ninth anniversary on Mars.

Flogging a dead horse
Department of Genetics, University of Leicester, University Road, Leicester, LE1 7RH, UK
Investigative Genetics 2013, 4:5 doi:10.1186/2041-2223-4-5Published: 28 February 2013
First paragraph (this article has no abstract)
We may live in a global village, and do our research in multinational departments, but local cultural traditions still count. A chilly October morning in the bleak English Midlands, and a PhD student newly arrived from Italy (let's call her Giovanna) takes a cigarette break outside our building. In the camaraderie of smokers, she strikes up a conversation with Keith, who is taking a rest from the autoclaving. "Where can I find horse?", she asks. Processing this odd question, via her foreign-ness, he pictures Leicester race-course, and wonders about country riding clubs. But he is wide of the mark. Giovanna's thoughts are in the kitchen, and when Keith realizes this, the conversation stops short.

An understanding anchored in pragmatismBang Mathiasen, John (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: The subject matter chosen for this PhD, learning within a Product Development (PD) working practice, might give rise to wonder given that I have a theoretical education within supply chain management, achieved practical experience as senior supply chain manager and finally, conducted a great many lectures dealing with supply chain management. Offhand, it may seem an odd choice, but my practical experience, briefly illustrated in the below, triggered the decision to study learning within a PD working practice. PD implies design of components and clarifications of the assembly process. A side effect of these activities is a routing, which establishes the supply chain; that is, the total journey, which all components must undertake before the product is saleable. Hence, seen from the perspective of the operation, the supply chain to be managed throughout the life cycle of the product is created during the PD phase. Changing a supply chain later on is possible, but it requires a significant effort. When managing a supply chain area, in which a large part of the products had a life cycle of more than 10 years, I realised the critical importance of influencing the PD process. Thus, employees from the supply chain department were often engaged in intense exchanges of views with the PD engineers and substantial resources were devoted to improving the awareness of supply chain considerations during the PD process. Nevertheless, in my firm conviction, these efforts only managed to exert minor influence and consequently, the established supply chains were difficult to handle. Ever since then, I have wondered why we were unsuccessful in influencing the supply chain of a new product. The involved supply chain engineers had a highly theoretical background as well as practical experience, but it was not possible to initiate learning among the PD engineers as regards the establishment of a more suitable supply chain.

Et studie af 10-12 årige danske børns brug af internettet, opfattelse og forståelse af markedsføring og forbrugRasmussen, Jeanette (Frederiksberg, 2012)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Denne afhandlingen har haft til formål at udvide den viden, vi har om markedsføring rettet mod børn. Børn i dag lever i en mere kommercialiseret barndom, børn betragtes i højere grad end tidligere som selvstændige forbrugere, markedsføringsmetoder på internettet er karakteriseret ved at være mere sofistikerede og mindre gennemskuelige, og der er stor markedsføringsmæssig fokus på yngre børn, og specielt de såkaldte tweens (defineres typisk som de 8-12 årige). Det har derfor været afhandlingens sigte at undersøge i et hverdagsperspektiv, hvordan 10-12 åriges brug af internettet, deres oplevelse og forståelse af markedsføring på internettet er relateret til deres forbrug (køb og forhold til mærker). Det er tweens oplevelse og forståelse af medier og forbrug, som er i fokus. Afhandlingens teoretiske grundlag er tvær-disciplinært, og derfor er relevante dele fra barndomsforskningen, medieforskningen og forbrugerforskningen blevet inddraget. Metodisk er der brugt en triangulering af empirisk materiale, da dette er specielt godt i forhold til undersøgelser om børn. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8563

Case Study: the landscape architecture for people in CopenhagenYang, Binzhang (Frederiksberg, 2013)[More information][Less information]
Abstract: Urban green spaces have a significant impact on the balance of urban ecosystem, the adjustment of urban environment and especially the enhancement of urban citizens' life and work quality. A city's image and its citizens' health and well-being is to a certain extent directly affected by whether the quantity of urban green spaces is sufficient, whether the distribution is reasonable and whether the functionality is complete. Therefore, the planning and construction of urban green spaces are already being viewed as a city's green infrastructure as well as the guarantee of a city's sustainable development. Currently, China is on the fast track of an urbanisation process. How to handle environmental protection and how to maintain the relationship between ecosystem, urbanisation and city construction are crucial projects China is facing. In this respect, developed Western countries is one step ahead of China and have aggregated massive valuable experience which China can learn from. With this as aim, this Ph.D. research discusses the relationship between urban green spaces and citizens' life by studying the creation and evolvement of green spaces in Copenhagen. The research focus is to discuss the development situation of this city's urban green spaces and what can be learned by China. URI: http://hdl.handle.net/10398/8795

For second consecutive year, Hawkeyes deal Gophers a rude awakening
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
MINNEAPOLIS -- One couldn't help but feeling a sense of déjà vu.
For the second consecutive year, the Minnesota Gophers received a rude welcoming back to Big Ten play by the Iowa Hawkeyes.
While the Gophers defense struggled to hold up against Iowa's methodical offensive attack, Minnesota's offense looked overmatched and out-of-sync. As a result, the Gophers could do little more than watch Iowa issue a dismantling 23-7 defeat Saturday afternoon at TCF Bank Stadium.
Flashback quickly to 2012. Holding a 4-0 record for the first time in three years, the Gophers walked into Kinnick Stadium with the hope of catching Iowa by surprise. The Hawkeyes, who ultimately won only four games, dominated the Gophers in nearly every facet to which coach Jerry Kill's squad could muster no sustained response.
Now, one year later the Gophers were once again 4-0 with rival Iowa on tap to serve as their first test in the Big Ten. Having experienced the struggle-filled run in the Big Ten that last season's loss to Iowa kickstarted, the Gophers appeared better primed to answer back in a critical early test of their progress.
But what transpired Saturday was close to a repeat of the disconcerting one-sided loss Iowa delivered when the two rivals last met.
"They outcoached us. They outplayed us. It is what it is. I've always been straightforward and that is about as forward as I can get," Kill said.
Mixing in quarterback Jake Rudock's arm and a punishing run game, Iowa compiled 464 total yards, while the Gophers scattered a season-low 165 yards.
Minnesota made the surprise call to go with sophomore quarterback Philip Nelson over Mitch Leidner after Nelson had been questionable all week with a strained right hamstring. Nelson's return after a one-game absence turned sour quickly. Iowa made sure Nelson and the "U" offense stayed rattled all afternoon, swarming in on rushing lanes and keeping the Gophers' already meek passing game from being a factor.
By halftime, Iowa led 17-0, but the score felt almost double that total with the Gophers offering few signs in the first half of being able to provide any sort of competitive rebuttal. The second half brought little relief, apart from a slick interception by safety Brock Vereen and a momentary glimmer of comeback late in the third quarter.
"It's continuing to be a problem for us, being able to come out in the first quarter and really match intensity," Nelson said post-game, showing a layer of frustration. "That's just something on a week to week basis we have to put more emphasis on."
As a whole, it was a key opportunity that went badly in the wrong direction for the Gophers. A victory or even a closely contested loss would have validated the signs of forward progress made in their rumble through their nonconference slate, a statement that the Gophers were ready to pose a threat in the Big Ten.
Instead, the defeat left a multitude of questions swirling around the Gophers, including whether or not it was foreshadowing of what could await them in their remaining seven games.
While there's no arguing that Saturday was a major failed test for the Gophers, the true measure of this year's squad, however, will be in how it responds in a daunting trip to Michigan next weekend, followed by a visit to Northwestern.
"It hurts. It's supposed to hurt, but we can't let it affect us (long-term)," safety Brock Vereen said. "If we expect to go into Michigan and get a win there it's going to take complete focus starting tomorrow. Let it hurt tonight, watch the film tomorrow, but Monday is a new week."
Therein lies a critical area of concern. Following last year's beatdown against, the Gophers didn't recover until three weeks later in a 44-28 victory over Purdue. Even then, the youthful team was unable to string together success from week to week.
In the Gophers' third go-around under Kill, the expectation is that the resiliency to weather setbacks of this nature has been instilled. That test begins next week in, of all places, the Big House.

LG E900 WP7 Device Spotted with 1.3 GHz SnapDragon
The flood gates have opened. LG and their recent mobile endeavors have been leaking all over the place. Yesterday brought us a new mid to entry level Android smart phone from the company and today is seemingly bringing the interwebs a taste of what's to come. And boy it does sound delicious.
LG known the world over for their phones and microwaves has stepped it up, literally. In the past few months, the world has grown accustom to 1 GHz processing power in their mobile phones. Personally it's hard to believe that much processing power can fit in ones pocket. But the future is upon us people and LG has produced a phone to prove it. The site that brought us the leak of the LG E720 yesterday has gotten their hands on another of LG's devices, and this one's a beauty. The Polish based Android themed website android.com.pl, have snapped some pretty excellent pictures of the new LG E900 which is running WP7. The new LG device is pictured and is running some pretty excellent specs. The E900 is using a QSD8650A Snapdragon processor that clocks in at 1.3 GHz; this same chip is capable of 2D acceleration and 3D graphics. The E900 also rocks a 3.7 inch TFT screen, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, HD Video recording and playback.
The story of LG's E900 will have to be continued as this device is not confirmed, however, it sure is looking sleek and sexy and if the processing power is to be believed, well…then this should indeed be a pleaser.
Tell us what you think of the LG E900, 1.3 GHz enough processing power for you?Microsoft, windows, processing, windows phone 7, WP7

House Broker

Nancy Pelosi believes in being direct. With the Democratic presidential contest running hot, in March a reporter with Boston TV station NECN asked the House speaker about the possibility of a dream ticket uniting Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. Doe eyes wide, the nation's highest-ranking Democrat flashed her trademark smile ominously. "I think that the Clinton administration [sic] has fairly ruled that out by proclaiming that Senator McCain would be a better [long pause, dismayed half- laugh] commander-in-chief than Obama.

It's been a long time since Jerry Brown dated Linda Rondstadt. It's been an even longer time since Jerry Brown was a Jesuit seminarian. He was governor of California, and he ran for president three times. Then, in a diminution of ambition, he ran for mayor of Oakland and won, a very difficult post. During his tenure, the homicide rate apparently doubled.

And even though Edward Kennedy has had probably as much public attention for all these years as any political figure except the various presidents, nobody's really been looking and listening, either.

July 24, 1976
The networks tried to convey an understanding of what they were broadcasting. ABC called it a social occasion: "You get no sense of a political gathering here," cracked Harry Reasoner. Over at CBS, Walter Cronkite remarked: "The convention is in complete control of the Carter and Democratic National Committee forces and no fights are being permitted." The prevailing theme was persistent unrelieved harmony, the image of an absolutely unified gathering. Of the less fortunate, less harmonious past, there were only glimpses and allusions.

If you're a parent who's counting down the days 'til your kid can ski, you might feel some pressure. Of course you want their first days on snow to be awesome. But should you teach them, or send them to ski school?
13) For lessons, arrive early, preferably the day prior to get rentals if needed, to get tickets in hand and hopefully avoid lines during peak season. It is great to let your children—especially if they are very young (3-6 years)—know where they are going and what will take place throughout the day, to reassure them. — Mary Flinn Ware, Park City Mountain Resort, Utah
Parents often worry about the ski school drop-off. Will there be pouting, crying, clinging? Puhleeeze. Send them to Camp Keystone. They won't be able to get away from you fast enough.
Maybe it's the mini snowmobile in the registration area, or the grooming machine a few feet away that acts as a defacto playground, with a half-dozen snowbooted groms scampering around the cockpit. Maybe the instructors stash Skittles and Gummi Bears in their pockets and apply liberally. Either way, drop-off worries will be a thing of the past.
Opening day at Vail Mountain, 2009
This season has been great so far: You were one of the first people on the snow when the resorts opened, you learned some sweet new tricks, maybe you even conquered those double black bowls you've been working up to. But now that the season's in full swing, it's time to kick your skiing up a notch, and the Vail Snowsports School 2010 SKImmersion program is the perfect place to do it.
"Emo wanted something different," Otto Egger explains to me, his accent still giving away his roots some five decades after he left the slopes of his native Austria for those of Vermont.
Today, SMS thrives on a beautiful 10-acre campus near the Sun Bowl side of the mountain, complete with its own state-of-the-art athletic facility. On a typical winter weekday, head coach Mike Morin encourages and critiques his charges as they rocket down a variety of runs all over the mountain. "We can train anything from slalom to super G, any day of the week," says Morin. "There aren't many places where you can do that."
Sure, there's no substitute for time in the saddle...or the ski boots. But just because you can't get to the mountain doesn't mean you can't learn how to ski or get better at it. Thanks to SugarTube, a new video-sharing platform on Sugarbush's website, anyone with access to the Internet can take a lesson from one of Sugarbush's ski school instructors.
Mont-Tremblant, – Tremblant has been honoured with three distinctions for excellence as a vacation destination, both for the skiing experience and the quality of lodgings in the pedestrian village.

Critical appraisal resources
We have provided a list of books and websites you may find useful as an
aid to critically appraising a research paper.
- CASP The Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) was set up as a programme within Learning & Development at the Public Health Resource Unit, Oxford. CASP aims to enable individuals to develop the skills to find and make sense of research evidence. The website gives access to critical appraisal checklists which guide the appraisal of a systematic review, observational study, or experimental study.
- Centre for Evidence Based Child Health The Centre for Evidence-Based Child Health is based within the Centre for Paediatric Epidemiology and Biostatistics. It was established by Great Ormond Street Hospital Trust and the Institute of Child Health, London, in 1995 as a part of a national network of Centres for Evidence-Based Health Care. The Centre's activities build on the experience and expertise of the Centre for Paediatric Epidemiology and Biostatistics and on the clinical links with Great Ormond Street Hospital. The ever-increasing volume and diversity of information makes it difficult for clinicians and others to keep up-to-date with the latest developments. A major challenge of the National Health Service is to ensure that clinical and other decisions relevant to the care of sick children and the prevention of illness and disability are based on the best available evidence. The Centre for Evidence-Based Child Health was set up to address this challenge through an education and research programme designed to help health practitioners acquire the necessary skills to integrate the critical analysis of evidence underpinning their day to day decisions into their practice.
- Centre for Evidence Based Medicine The CEBM in Oxford is one of several centres around the country whose broad aim is to promote evidence-based health care and provide support and resources to anyone who wants to make use of them. The website contains a useful introduction to Evidence Based Medicine, as well as downloads and EBM tools.
- TRIAGE The Trent Research Information Access Gateway links to a large number of resources on critical appraisal
- Canadian Centre for Health Evidence - Users guides to the medical literature The Centre for Health Evidence is a not-for-profit organization based at the University of Alberta. We are dedicated to helping health organizations and associations find and apply best evidence in daily practice. We work on a project basis, and use a variety of communication and information technologies to create decision support tools and services
- Agree Instrument The purpose of the Appraisal of Guidelines Research & Evaluation (AGREE) Instrument is to provide a framework for assessing the quality of clinical practice guidelines. The AGREE Instrument assesses both the quality of the reporting, and the quality of some aspects of recommendations. It provides an assessment of the predicted validity of a guideline, that is the likelihood that it will achieve its intended outcome. It does not assess the impact of a guideline on patients' outcomes. Most of the criteria contained in the AGREE Instrument are based on theoretical assumptions rather than on empirical evidence. They have been developed through discussions between researchers from several countries who have extensive experience and knowledge of clinical guidelines.
- The Consort Statement Website CONSORT, which stands for Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials, encompasses various initiatives developed by the CONSORT Group to alleviate the problems arising from inadequate reporting of randomized controlled trials (RCTs).The main product of CONSORT is the CONSORT Statement, which is an evidence-based, minimum set of recommendations for reporting RCTs. It offers a standard way for authors to prepare reports of trial findings, facilitating their complete and transparent reporting, and aiding their critical appraisal and interpretation
- Crombie, I WA950 CRO The pocket guide to critical appraisal a handbook for health care professionals BMJ, 1996
- DiCenso, A WA950 DIC Evidence based nursing: a guide to clinical practice Elsevier Mosby, 2005
- Egger M, Smith GD, Altman DG WA950 EGG Systematic reviews in health care: meta-analysis in context BMJ Books, 2001 This is a popular introduction to the science of reviewing biomedical research. It contains chapters devoted to performing and appraising systematic reviews, and the application of systematic reviews in clinical guidelines development.
- Gehlbach, S HV7 GEH Interpreting the medical literature McGraw-Hill, Medical Pub. Division, 2006
- Greenhalgh T WA950 GRE How to read a paper (3rd ed) BMJ Books, 2006 This is a clear and comprehensive introduction to the usefulness and potential applications of evidence based medicine in the clinical setting. It gives guidance on how to find a research paper, assess it, and put the findings into practice.
- Guyatt G, Rennie D (Eds) WA950 GUY Users' guides to the medical literature. A manual for evidence-based clinical practice American Medical Association, 2002 This is a comprehensive guide to evidence-based practice, containing case scenarios and clinical examples of evidence-based practice, how to search for the best evidence, and how to apply it to your clinical practice.

It's easy to forget you're in Europe when a real deli is as hard to find in London as a good espresso - and when it comes to experiencing authentic Spanish Tapas, it's easier to just, like, book with Easyjet and like, go there??! Though the word 'Tapas' is everywhere in this city, in fact only a handful of humble establishments serve to prove that simple, small and traditional appetisers can be better than any full meal.
Scarcity being the case, it's never easy to get a table at Tapas Brindisa, I think because once people do taste these Tapas they just sit there and never leave. Everything about this busy restaurant on the corner of Borough Market says simplicity, with a tried and tested list of dishes including all the Spanish classics and some decadent delights you can't get enough of.
Love you: Oh, Pan De Coca (aka Tomato Bread You'll Want For Every Meal)! A sharp fresh tomato taste on thin Turkish style toast..making you ask why we ever made food so complicated. Follow with a smear of Deep Fried Monte Enebro (Goats cheese with Honey) on country bread and forget where you are altogether.
Leave you: Brindisa is right above London Bridge station – it's always crowded unless you go at a weird time, and tables are small. Be warned: As this is real Tapas, dishes arrive fast and you're not encouraged to hang around.. even though you really really want to…
There are also Brindisas in South Ken and Soho, so whilst your brain says this place is part of a London chain, your tummy says this is the only one in the world. Like Barrafina and Iberica (my other favourites in London) This is a Spanish Tapas that even Spanish who love Tapas will love. Viva Europa.

Disturbia Gallery
After his father's death, Kale (Shia LaBeouf) becomes sullen, withdrawn and troubled so much so that he finds himself under a court-ordered sentence of house arrest. His mother, Julie (Carrie-Anne Moss), works night and day to support herself and her son, only to be met with indifference and lethargy. He becomes a voyeur as his interests turn outside the windows of his suburban home towards those of his neighbors, one of which Kale begins to suspect is a serial killer. Check out photos from Disturbia...

Editor's note: A photo on Page C6 in Sunday's Sports section showed Patriots rookie quarterback Kevin O'Connell wearing a wristband with inappropriate language written on it. The photo did not meet the Globe's journalistic standards and should not have been published.From Scott's Shots:
Careful inspection of the Barry Chin-shot photo reveals a sticker on O'Connell's left wrist (over his play-call wristband) that reads, "My dick is tiny too!"Adding to the fun was the Globe's caption: "The Patriots are refining Kevin O'Connell's mechanics, but they believe he has the tools to be a top-flight quarterback." Thanks for sending us the photo, Mr. Anonymous. Globe Apologizes For O'Connel Tiny Member Picture [Scott's Shots]

The New Republic
Play Ball!
April 28, 1947
Your radio reporter was having a tough time. The weekly sermon, its text presumably based on what's new, fresh or vigorous in radio, threatened to turn into a dull, depressing dissertation. But along came Old Gold cigarettes, Ballantine's ale and Pabst's Blue Ribbon beer. The day, the preachment, the season were saved. For those ate the generous firms which, in my listening area, bring me respectively Red Barber, Mel Allen and Frankie Frisch.It was exactly 1:55 p.m.
Lincoln in 1944
February 14, 1944
There are many reasons why we recall Abraham Lincoln more vividly than we do either Christopher Columbus or George Washington, the other two men for whom public holidays are generally observed. Lincoln was the only one of the three born under the United States flag. As a child of the Middle West he grew up in the most American part of America, and through his veins flowed the blood of ancestors from both Virginia and New England.

Recently I have discovered this little and cool utility, similar to df but with some extra features and a bit clear output. The utility is di, the disk information.
From the man pages…
di displays usage information on mounted filesystems. Block values are reported in megabytes (1024k bytes) by default, but may be changed. If file is specified, the usage information for the partition on which file is located is printed.
As usual, to install the utility emerge the package…
emerge di
For a basic usage simply type…
kranpak root # di
Filesystem Mount Megs Used Avail %used fs Type
/dev/hda1 / 4102.4 202.9 3899.4 5% reiserfs
tmpfs /dev/shm 376.7 0.0 376.7 0% tmpfs
/dev/hda3 /home 3106.2 1362.5 1743.7 44% reiserfs
tmpfs /mnt/.init.d 2.0 0.0 2.0 1% tmpfs
/dev/hda8 /tmp 2102.2 34.6 2067.6 2% reiserfs
/dev/hda2 /usr 5106.4 3246.0 1860.4 64% reiserfs
/dev/hda5 /var 6000.6 2621.8 3378.9 44% reiserfs
The first thing here is that, as opposed to df you have the info regarding your filesystem type at first sight (compare this with df -t reiserfs).
Here are some of the switches a like:
-s [ s|n|r ], output sorted/unsorted/reversed
-t, print totals

Two of America's smallest towns have already voted in the Presidential Elections and made the results public. One is Hart's Location, the other Dixville Notch, both from New Hampshire.
As the nation is rushing to vote for either Obama or Mitt Romney as President, the residents of the two towns quietly gathered to cast their votes at precisely midnight.
By 12.05, they were already done in Hart's Location, as an announcement on the official site reads. Hart's Location boasts of being the first to announce the winner in elections every 4 years.
"New Hampshire's smallest Town and First in the Nation every four years!" it reads.
With a population of 41 (according to the 2010 census), Hart's Location named Obama the undisputed winner in the Presidential Elections.
The president and Joe Biden, running for Vice President, got 23 votes, while Romney and fellow Republican Paul Ryan only 9. Quite a difference, if we may say so.
Gary Johnson and James Gray got one vote, while Virgil Goode and James Clymer none.
Things weren't as clear in the other New Hampshire town, Dixville Notch, MSN reports.
"Poll results from Dixville Notch, N.H., have declared that the winner of this year's presidential election is ... indecisiveness," MSN writes.
"The town's residents traditionally vote at midnight, casting some of the first ballots in a presidential election, and they almost always favor the winning candidate," the same media outlet points out.
"But anyone looking to Dixville Notch for a prediction of this year's victor will be disappointed: The town's 10 registered voters split their votes evenly between President Obama and Mitt Romney, awarding them five apiece," MSN adds.
Perhaps, these elections, Americans can only use the results in Hart's Location as the closest thing to a prediction, now that Dixville couldn't come up with a satisfactory one.
Until the official results are made public, as Katy Perry said on her Twitter a few hours back, "happy voting day!"

Yep, Lima would do wellJust the classic case that only the champs are good in non UFC promotions which just isnt the case
1/25/13 1:51 PM by PrettyBoy
Lima would trash most of UFC 170ers. He beat him.

Even though Ben's GNP was much improved, I still don't like him. How does he fare if he migrates to the UFC? It's hard to tell with the people he's fighting in Bellator.

Read: A Coach's Challenge Could Be Coming To The NHL
At NHL.com, Dan Rosen spoke with Mike Murphy, the NHL SVP of Hockey Operations, who said that a coach's challenge could be coming to the NHL.
Florida GM Dale Tallon has brought up that topic at GM Meetings before and is believed to be doing so again when the GM's meet next month.
Murphy said "I think that there is a real possibility it could happen, but you'd have to sit down with a group of smart people and you'd have to go through just about every type of play you'd want to allow a challenge for. It can't be used as a tactic. That's a concern. It has to be a legitimate play that has been defined into the coach's challenge rule. Mainly, it's goals."
During Hotstove on HNIC over the weekend, Glenn Healy spoke about how five GMs and five prominent players should sit down over the summer and discuss the topics that should be available for review.
At 30 Thoughts, Elliotte Friedman writes that some GM's want there to be some kind of penalty called for an incorrect challenge, such as in football when you lose a timeout.
Another issue, he writes, is the definite criteria for a challenge, "let's say you can challenge an offside. If the other team goes right in and scores, no problem. But, let's say after the missed offside, the offensive team cycles the puck for 25 seconds and then puts it in. Should that still be reviewable? Some guys say no. It's hard to get all the GMs to agree."

What are yours? Share with a comment below!
|Cook with your kids! It really is easy and fun. My tips on this are {here}.
Lasagna! I began making Trader Joe's Bolognese recipe a few years back, and it's SO yummy. It's that recipe or Slow Cooker Lasagna, courtesy of Diane Hopkins' blog and recipe book. If I have time and energy, I like to make my own french bread or focaccia...I know, sounds tricky, but it's so easy, even for a beginner like me. It just takes some time and some forethought...finding the recipe that works well is the trick. This one for focaccia was the very first I tried and it works like a dream. I served it to friends and they asked which bakery I had bought it from. (Now, that's a good recipe!)
Spaghetti, bread and a salad: almost too simple to mention, but so good, whether with meat or without. We like cooked Italian sausage and extra veggies in our sauce (like my Mom and sister make in their homes).
About serving veggies at mealtime: My all-time favorite salad is Caesar, but any good salad works...my kids will usually try some. If it's there, eventually they will try it, so I keep serving it. If I don't have time to make a salad, I cut up veggies, like cucumbers and celery and serve them with baby carrots and ranch for another option. Often, I'll just have these cut-up on a sealable tray in the fridge, so it's easy to pull out and place on the table, or the kids & my hubby and I can snack on them during the day. It's an easy way to fit more veggies in, with less work on my part.
Homemade pizza. The BEST recipe (which also happens to be nutritious and use whole grains) comes from one of my favorite mentor moms, Diane Hopkins. My kids like plain cheese, but I dig pineapple and ham!
Taco salad. Hubby gets credit for this one...he started making it regularly after the birth of our third child and it's stuck as a staple in our house. Ground beef gets mixed with taco seasoning and is served warm over crisp lettuce with a dressing of salsa and sour cream. We like sauteed onions, as well. Toppings to try are chopped tomato, chopped olives, shredded cheese, and crumbled tortilla chips. I also like warmed refried beans mixed with the meat for this dish sometimes. You could easily adapt this dish to be served meatless with just warmed rice and beans, seasoned with cumin, oregano and chili powder.
Taco Soup or Italian Meatball soup. I LOVE that either of these variations can be put together in the morning in a slow cooker and be ready for dinner. So EASY! Saute onion and garlic and chopped celery and carrots in olive oil. Either add in ground beef or prepared meatballs. Add a lot of broth and a can of diced tomatoes. For taco soup, add a can of green chiles, some cooked pinto and kidney beans, and a can of corn and taco seasonings for flavor. For Italian, add cooked kidney beans, a handful of frozen green beans, and Italian seasoning. Cooked rice can also be a nice addition for either variation. Serve taco soup with crushed tortilla chips and cheese and sour cream. For the Italian soup, serve alongside crusty bread.
Fish, rice pilaf, steamed veggie. Baked salmon gets high marks around here. Broccoli and carrots and bell pepper are our go-to veggies for steamed, but I am partial to steamed brussel sprouts with butter. Begin with a rice cooker that you just set and forget, then stick the fish with lemon and dill and olive oil in the oven, and it only takes just a few minutes to steam the veg while the others cook. It's a low-energy, no-brainer, brain boosting meal. MMMMM!
Chili with corn chips, shredded cheese, and sour cream. Sometimes we serve this over baked potatoes with green onions, a tip I learned from my sister-in-law. It's very filling and comforting on a chilly day like today. I would love to develop a great recipe for homemade, mild chili. That one's on the list, but for now we buy a big can from Costco.
Okay, now...about cool kitchen gadgets and appliances...
Pressure cooker!! Have you not tried it out yet? I am loving my Fagor express 8 quart model.
Seriously, slow food, quick! Chicken in 8 minutes, mashed potatoes in 6, from scratch. Steamed broccoli in 3 minutes. Saves money, time, energy and effort, and retains flavor in the food wonderfully.
What's not to love?
I have done a few things in it, including beans, two different chicken dishes, various veggies, and quinoa. I'm so excited to try more recipes, like desserts...my hubby is asking for a roast.
If you have yet to conquer the kitchen,
or just need some encouragement in this aspect of homemaking...
So you think you can't cook....
My advise to anyone struggling to make what their family will like / eat, think you haven't time or energy to make home-cooked meals that are affordable, or who otherwise feels like a failure as a cook, is:
- Learn to make one recipe at a time really well, and then move on to another. Keep trying; you really can do this! Try a few recipes until one works well. Master chocolate chip cookies, or potato soup, or spaghetti sauce. Then, you have one item that you do well. It builds confidence, and your supply of recipes. When most people in the family will eat it, it's a winner.
- Make it your own! Just bake a batch of chocolate chip cookies and everyone likes it? Well, now, that's YOUR "chocolate chip recipe"! (Of course, give credit to others when it's due, like if you are compiling a cookbook) Other people do this; you can have a recipe that's "yours", too. After you make it again and again, it's easier to put together without referring to a book all the time.
- Plan ahead. The Nanny Plan from BYUtv's show "Food Nanny" is a neat option; you can do your own the way you like. This makes a big difference as waiting until 4 p.m. to find out there is nothing to make dinner with is too late. It made cooking with dried beans and other things doable for me, as a part of everyday life. It also showed me that cooking for my family was easier when I spent more time at home, but planning helps a lot if you do have to spend time outside the home, whether for work, kid's activities, or whatnot.
- Keep your goal in mind: cooking well for your family. After making a recipe that works well, don't mess with it. Don't go after every single chocolate chip cookie recipe out there, hoping that maybe this one will be the one that will top the last one (or outshine your neighbor's). That takes a lot of time, and unless you really need to improve on a recipe, stick with what your family likes and works well for you. Leave the recipe "one-upping" to those classy foody bloggers. :-)
- Make a cookbook! There are lots of companies you can use to create a professional looking one. I have used Tastebook, because I like the format, but I am not as happy with the quality. I might use another company next time. I am an in-your-hands, turn the pages, kind of person, but there are plenty of digital ways to collect and share recipes, too. Maybe you are the kind of gal who would also sell it when your cookbook is created; that can be done. Or if simple works for you: choose a binder and print off pages at home to slide into sheet protectors. It took me over 2 years to test recipes, compile, and then write and edit the book. I did it bit by bit, when I had a spare hour in the evening or Sunday--but it's done (!) and now when I have a new recipe to add here or there, I can order them individually. It feels like such an accomplishment, personally, to have this treasure trove of tried-and-true recipes that I can make anytime and know most of the family will eat and like.
Gateway to Good Food
I highly recommend watching "The Food Nanny". You can watch for FREE on BYUtv.org here. She reminds you how important dinnertime is for families, especially those with young children. AND she shows you how DOABLE cooking from scratch for your family can be, whether you know how to boil water or not :-) I love her...check her out if you're in doubt!
Diane Hopkins: a Homeschooling Mom, she has recipes for free on her blog and sells a simple, but tried-and-true cookbook, Hopkin's Healthy Home Cookin'.
Cynthia Lair's blog Cookus Interruptus has the funniest, and helpful, videos on cooking fresh, whole foods meals, snacks, desserts, and more. Her cookbook is FABulous: Feeding the Whole Family.
Hip Pressure Cooking and Miss Vickie. Good ideas and tested recipes to try out. Beginners paradise!
Crystal @ Everyday Food Storage talks you through recipes, made by a Mom, for Moms, in her videos on her blog. She has recipes online you can use for free and sells a cookbook. She specializes in making food that tastes awesome with staples like whole wheat, dried beans, powdered eggs, and more. I LOVE her EZ wheat bread recipe. I also use it to make amazing cinnamon rolls. Key? Easy, inexpensive, and yummy. She recently did a Bosch giveaway, too.
Why Do I Share?
My desire is to share what works for me, and if it is helpful to someone, that is a blessing. If something I share here is helpful to you in some way, why not comment? If you have something that helped you in the kitchen department, why not share it here? It's a lot more fun for everyone when there's a conversation going on. Be a part of it!
Do you have a question about cooking that I haven't answered in this post?
I love to answer reader's questions. Ask away!
Most of all, my wish for you is that this year, in 2012,
you renew how you enjoy food with your family:
Make it, Eat it, Enjoy ... Repeat ! Happy Cooking :-)

After Justin Bieber was arrested and charged with a DUI, his team sent a private plane to pick him up from Miami to take him to rehab on Thursday, he refused to get on, however on Saturday the entertainer finally boarded a plane and left Miami.
After refusing to get onto the first private plane, Bieber returned to his rented Miami mansion with his father, Jeremy Bieber. According to CelebBuzz, reports surfaced that Bieber's father was a bad influence on the pop star.
Jeremy Bieber responded in a tweet:
I can protect my kids, but I can't protect them from you and your lies. Believe in the truth not in the lies of the enemy. #reallife
— Jeremy Bieber (@JeremyBieber) January 24, 2014
As Bieber left the mansion, he was swarmed by fans, reports Extra. He had to return to the house and leave through another door. In an effort to thank his fans, Bieber tweeted to them saying that they "are all worthy," how they "changed his life" and that he is "grateful."
It is not certain where the singer is going-whether it is actually to rehab or somewhere to lay low.

About the Course
Some of today's most respected companies—including GE, Motorola, Allied Signal, and Sun Microsystems—have used Lean Six Sigma to improve their organizations. Join the ranks of these successful corporations and let Lean Six Sigma work for you.
Lean Six Sigma is a combined process-improvement methodology that accelerates processes, increases efficiency, and reduces or eliminates variation. Competition for the same customers is increasing throughout the corporate world, putting company profits on the line; customer expectations are changing rapidly as the rate of information increases; and costs are escalating. Now more than ever, achieving process excellence is essential.
Our Lean Six Sigma program gives you valuable business tools to achieve process excellence and help your team:
- Redesign flow to better account for customer and supplier variability
- Analyze the root causes of process or system problems
- Make informed decisions about cost-benefit of a company project
- Capture meaningful metrics to help know and grow your business
- Experiment to determine best practices to deliver quality, every time
This offering is a pre-recorded rebroadcast of our Winter 2013 Lean Six Sigma Green Belt (LSSGB) program offered by the Systems Science and Industrial Engineering (SSIE) Department at the Thomas J. Watson School of Engineering and Applied Science at Binghamton University and the Binghamton University IIE Student Chapter.
Here is what previous attendees say about this training:
"This was an excellent class. I am a 16-year IT professional in global management for a Fortune 10 company and I found this one of the best training seminars I've attended in my career. The instructor's background was not limited to the classroom as he had very tangible and realistic examples based on his experience in the field. He was clear, articulate, and very well organized. The course materials were well constructed and easy to follow. Dr. Khasawneh's lecture and instruction were excellent."
"Dr. Khasawneh was extraordinarily knowledgeable about this subject matter, and was skilled at tailoring the intensity of his answer to the question given. If asked a basic question, he replied with a simple, hands on answer. If asked a complicated, high-level question, he gave as much depth and detail as was needed to answer the query. There was a wide range of knowledge level in the class, and he did a good job balancing the needs of all."
"I feel prepared to begin real world projects."

"For PC graphics cards, we went to production with our SiI1930 in Q4 2005. We have plenty of inventory and availability. It's just a matter of manufacturers choosing to put HDMI on the design or not For the moment, we are indeed the only company (that I know of) that is in actual production with a HDMI chip for PC graphics cards. nVidia is designing an integrated HDMI transmitter, Chrontel announced a similar HDMI transmitter at IDF, so competition is also coming."
Interesting stuff. It begs the question of ATI and Matrox, and whether or not they will be incorporating SiL's technology when the time rolls around.

BMW shows performance substitute for 3 Series
BMW used to own the mantle for German performance cars, until Audi redesigned its model lineup over the last decade. In the face of this competition, BMW today released photos of the Concept 4 Series Coupe, which looks ready to go up against the Audi A5 and S5.
The BMW product design department has come up with some odd ideas in recent years. Witness the X6 and 5 Series GT. However, this new Concept 4 Series looks like a more natural fit between the 3 Series and 5 Series, and borrows styling from the recently updated and stylish 6 Series. … Read more

It's made using South African rooibos – red bush – tea and tastes sweet or bitter depending on how you drink it. The Trafalgar Hotel off Trafalgar Square has just launched its menu of Roispresso, drinks made with red bush tea blended with different flavours including chamomile, mint or goji, then brewed in seven ways – from macchiato and espresso to latte and cappuccino…Overall, mint is my favourite; I could imagine drinking the espresso shot after a filling dinner while the iced tea version – sweetened with two spoonfuls of coconut sugar and served in a tall glass – is like a cocktail.
