" Brand: Yves Rocher / Type: Fragrance / Concentration: Eau de Toilette "
I think anyone that knows me or indeed reads any of my reviews will no doubt be aware of my love of products from the french beauty company Yves Rocher. I've been a loyal customer all of my adult life as I was introduced to their natural plant based beauty products from an early age as my mum always favoured them, and so I grew up with Yves Rocher items being a firm favourite in our household. Some people may love Lush, but for me I'm in my element whenever I receive a new edition of their beauty listings which are normally in the format of several leaflets. I admit to looking forward to scouring for what's new at any time of the year, but in particular I get very excited when I receive their Christmas listings which mainly focuses on limited festive editions of both new and popular brands. When I received last year's Christmas editions leaflets I wasted no time in ordering several beautifully described products which were advertised as being 'limited editions' with this one - Italian Mandarin EDT - being one of them. My review will now focus on my experience of using this product..
*~*What Yves Rocher have to say about this*~*
"...Savour a beautiful Christmas with the limited edition Les Plaisir Nature - Mandarin from Italy. Surrender to this eau de toilette with its luminous, sparkling scent with the citrusy tang of Mandarin from Italy which is the ideal antidote to winter.."
*~*Price, packaging & availability*~*
If wanting to order this, or any product from their collections, then there are a few ways to go about it:
*Order from their easy to navigate and secure website @www.yves-rocher.co.uk
*Pop in to one of their stores that are sporadically dotted about (the nearest to myself in Bradford is in York which is small but adequately stocked)
*By phoning their orderline on 0870 049 22 22
*Placing your order through their mailing leaflets which are sent out (by request at phoning the orderline/customer services number). They also offer a 3 month credit facility this way subject to status and I tend to take advantage of it when placing an order with them.
*Checking out the likes of Ebay where there is always a plethora of assorted Yves Rocher items at knock down prices.
This fragrance is available in an EDT format only and comes in just one size which is 20ml. This may not seem very big but it is adequate enough given the fact the fragrance is quite (impressively) strong for simply an EDT. This was launched last November (2011) priced at £4.90 and though was only supposed to be available as a limited edition for a short period of time, it is still available now through their website at the same price.
Italian Mandarin EDT is part of the Les Plaisir Nature range and comes packaged in a similar designed bottle as all of the rest in the collection, being in a cylindrical 'tubby' shaped glass which is curved slightly towards the neck. The bottle is made from a thick and sturdy glass and is totally transparent so the rich orange liquid can be clearly viewed within and apart from a very basic logo on the front there is very little else in the way of decoration here apart from a slender orange opaque plastic lid which covers the nozzle area.
*~*My thoughts on using Italian Mandarin EDT*~*
I'm not normally a fan of anything particular citrus based as I tend to find the aroma it emits is more masculine than feminine and so I tend to avoid at all costs if I can. Around September time of last year (2011) I received a leaflet through the post with hints of some of the upcoming collections that would be available as part of Yves Rocher's Christmas range. What featured quite solidly I found was that mandarin and orange scented products seemed to domineer quite prominently throughout this particular collection, and though put off slightly at first I soon came around when I realised there was a sample sachet enclosed which was drenched in this EDT's fragrance.
On removing from the sealed sachet I was greeted with an intense burst of mandarin but it was like nothing I had come across before, and although was mainly orange based there was also something else that I couldn't quite pinpoint at the time but it was enough to win me over and therefore the 20ml bottle was added to my upcoming Christmas order.
Once my Christmas order had arrived I wasted no time in opening the 20ml bottle of this fragrance and spritzing lightly over my skin..
*~*Results and recommendations*~*
On removing the tightly fitted lid I was greeted with the mandarin aroma that I remembered from the sampler a few weeks previously and I proceeded to spray onto my wrists and neck. I found that although the nozzle had 3 tiny pin prick holes the actual EDT emitted at quite a rapid pace and covered quite a large area so a word of warning if using as one or two short sharp spritzes are all that's required.
The mandarin used here is fresh, fruity and so succulent it's enough to make my mouth water but I couldn't honestly say I would know they were italian mandarins! There is also another level to this EDT as once applied to my skin and the initial burst of sunny mandarin starts to settle another note lurks it's head during the dry down. Although there is no mention of it I can definitely detect a hint of spice as once settling it starts to give off a warm cinnamon type aroma which is actually quite befitting given that this is a festive EDT.
To say that this is an EDT I found it's longevity to be reasonably acceptable. It offers at least 3 to 4 hours of recognisable aroma and though fades slightly after spraying it retains a noticeable strength for a god few hours. I've found in the past with YR fragrances that although they can be quite overpowering on first applying they tend to fade far too quickly but the EDT's seem to be quite good when it comes to the scent lasting.
For the price I paid of just under £5 I have found this to be an excellent fragrance which has been ideal for everyday use. The bottle is made from a thick glass as mentioned so I feel confident enough to literally 'throw' the bottle of this in my bag for general top ups throughout the day if required. The scent may be advertised as being a festive edition, and whilst it does have a spicy element to it I've found that the warm juicy aroma from the mandarin not only compliments it perfectly but gives it a more universal feel as it could be used at any time of the year. Although it offers a nice balance of strength I personally feel this is best suited to wearing throughout the day as I prefer a more musky, oriental type of fragrance for evenings.
This was supposedly just a limited Christmas edition for last year but has been available ever since and can still be bought now through the website and for £4.90 I would highly recommend it. Its not too cloying and even if you are not a fan of citrus as I'm not you may be pleasantly surprised by this..

This week on BJPenn.com's Fist-Ta-Cuff Radio show we welcomed TUF contestant Clint Hester back to the program. Heading into the final week of the show's broadcast Clint spoke about several topics surrounding the show and its impact on his life as a fighter, his relationship with the other fighters, and his upcoming official UFC debut at this weekend's TUF Finale on FX. Here are some of the highlights from his interview:
Clint first talked about Bubba McDaniel getting the wildcard pick instead of him and Bubba's fight agasint Urijah Hall last week:
"With Bubba it was basically he just worries himself sometimes a little bit too much when he has big opponents. And that's just something he does. It wasn't just specifically Urijah. He said he's done that with other bigger fights that he's had. And then what they showed that he was worried about was really his kidneys because he was having lower back pain and then after the Kevin Casey situation he just wanted to make sure his health was ok and that he was ready to fight. But he was having lower back pain so he was worried that keeping his weight down for so long was becoming too much of a stress on his body. So that's what he was really worried about but he did play a couple of things inside his head, over thinking the fight with Urijah but once it was time to go, once the doctor said he was able to fight and it was just a strained muscle in his back he was definitely ready to go."
On Bubba's fight against Urijah:
"Just watching the fight I was hoping Bubba came out victorious because he was on my team. Unfortunately we saw what happened and it was a small opportunity, a small window that Urijah had and he took totally advantage of that opportunity that he had. But as soon as I was watching I was just hoping the best for Bubba. He was my teammate and I helped him get ready for the fight, I helped him with the game plan a little bit, on trying to get Urijah to the cage and really clinching with him and wearing his arms and legs out so it could really slow him down because he's a really, really explosive guy."
Clint gave his opinion on whether Josh Samman was supposedly "ducking" the fight against Urijah throughout the entire season:
"When you come down to the tournament we're in you definitely have to have a strategy of who you want to fight and what's the best way for you to get to the finale, so as far as him ducking Urijah I wouldn't say he was, so to speak, "ducking" him. He's just been trying to get him in the finale which now he has the opportunity, if he can get past Kelvin, he'll have the opportunity to fight Urijah, if Urijah can get Dillon. It's just pretty much these last two fights that are coming up."
Thoughts on being a fan favorite on the this season's show:
"I haven't read any of the forums or anything but on my social media I get it at least 5 to 10 times a day that I should have been the wild card pick and they want to see me against Urijah and I really feel good that so many people think highly of me and that I've been portrayed to be this likeable guy. I think it comes from my laid back, nonchalant attitude and I always try to stay humble and I'm glad that's paying off and it's been worth it this whole time."
On mutual respect for other fighters in the house:
"We have a great deal of respect for one another. Even with fighters from the other team. Me and Jimmy have respect, me and Urijah have a lot of respect for each other. King, Tor, and then all my teammates, like even Kelvin. We all have respect. Luke. We all have respect for each other and they all liked me because I was that guy that never caused any problems, didn't over think anything, I wasn't complaining, I just kind of sat back and enjoyed my time while I was there and was always ready to fight."
Is it hard keeping the TUF outcome and finale matchups under wraps?
"Oh it's simple. I mean, they have me on a 5 million dollar disclosure form so that makes everything pretty easy (laughs). I just tell them I can't say. My training partners, some of my training partners know, and my coaches know because we have a game plan for him and I think Saturday is going to be a great card. It's going to be an amazing card."
As UFC debut fight approaches are the days getting longer or shorter?
"Um, they're actually pretty short because I've been training so much. It's just training, training, training. Then the next day, training, training, training, then the next day. Even today went by pretty fast. So tomorrow I can look forward to training then it'll be time for me to rest up and hop on a plan on Tuesday morning. Actually the time since I've been out of the house has actually flown by, I'm just glad I've tried to make the most of it and I've worked hard. I'm just ready to go out there and showcase my skills, again."
Would you do it all again and what would you change?
"Depending on what it was for and depending on how big the end reward is. If it was a big enough end reward I would definitely go back on and knowing what I know now, the only thing I would change is being more vocal about who I wanted to fight."
"That would be my only regret because I ended up with the worst possible matchup I could have ended up with and I still showed so much improvement through my career in that fight. I did a great job against Jimmy in the first round, stuffing the takedowns and making him pay for trying to take me down and really trying to punish him and I feel like I did a good job compared to some other fights that I've had and other fighters that have taken me down and held me down on the ground, like, I went down and then got right back up. I just kept fighting and fighting and fighting. So if I could do it all over again I would have probably opted for him in the later rounds."
Did all contestants deserve to be on this season of TUF?
"I would definitely say yes because the across the board the talent level, the fighting level was even. Like, some people were better at wrestling, some were better at jiu-jitsu, some were better at striking. If you took it overall, as a whole, everyone was right there. If you do our season 10 times you'd probably have 10 different people in the finale."

Survey shows Minnesota's wolf population down from 2008
By John Myers
Forum News Service
DULUTH -- A survey across Minnesota's northern forest last winter showed the state has about 2,211 wolves, down some from the most recent survey in 2008.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources announced the revised estimate today after a winter-long survey taken by biologists and other wildlife experts.
The number is down about 710 from the state's last major wolf count taken during the winter of 2007-2008 and comes on the heels of last autumn's controversial wolf hunting and trapping seasons when 413 wolves were killed. They were the first regulated wolf seasons in Minnesota and the first sanctioned public killing of wolves since the 1960s. The hunt was allowed only after the wolf population had recovered enough to be taken off the federal endangered species list earlier in 2012.
Another 200 or so wolves were trapped and killed last year, as they are each year, under a government-sanctioned program that targets wolves near where livestock have been attacked.
The 2007-08 survey estimated that 2,200 to 3,500 wolves roamed over about 30,000 square miles across the northern third of Minnesota. That was down from the 2004 survey estimate of 2,300 to 3,700. The 1998 survey showed 2,000 to 3,000 wolves.
Although lower than the 2008 wolf population survey midpoint estimate of 2,921 wolves, the population exceeds the state's minimum goal of at least 1,600 wolves and is above the federal recovery goal range of 1,251 to 1,400 animals.
"Results from the 2013 wolf survey continue to demonstrate that Minnesota's wolf population is fully recovered from its once-threatened status and the population is responding naturally to the availability of deer, wolves' primary food source," said Dan Stark, DNR large carnivore specialist.
The survey doesn't include wolf pups born this year, which will substantially increase the population, at least until humans and other factors begin to take their toll.
Critics of hunting and trapping in Minnesota say the low end of the population estimate could be too few wolves to sustain ongoing wolf killing. But supporters of wolf hunting and trapping say the survey shows the population remains robust under state management.
After a century of unrestricted shooting and trapping as a nuisance animal, Minnesota was believed to have fewer than 500 wolves, all in the Superior National Forest in northeastern counties, when the animal was first given federal protections in the 1970s.
Left alone, wolves gradually rebuilt their numbers and expanded their range, with Minnesota wolves also moving into Wisconsin and Michigan, which now have thriving populations.
Wolf numbers in the western Great Lakes reached the government's official "recovered" level by the late 1990s, but it took more than a decade for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to overcome political and legal opposition to the move leaving wolves unprotected.
Lawsuits are pending that seek once again to place wolves back under protections of the Endangered Species Act, especially noting they have reached safe population levels in only a small fraction of their original range in the United States.

The strategy employed by the Canoga Park boys soccer team during an opening-round match of the Southern California Regional Division II playoffs was simple: Put pressure on the opponent at the start and again to begin the second half.
The host Hunters followed the plan effectively, grabbing the lead in the first two minutes against Coronado and duplicated the feat right after the break with another goal to secure a 2-0 victory Tuesday and a return to the regional semifinals.
"We approached this match a little differently that our some of our others this season," Canoga Park coach Jake Gwin said. "We exposed ourselves in the back in order to be in attack mode up front and I think things worked out in our favor today."
Coronado (21-3), the No. 6 seed, could not stop the third-seeded Hunters (22-1-4) for the second year in its regional opener. It was a struggle from start to finish against Canoga Park, which now advances to Thursday's semifinals at 6 p.m. at second-seeded Royal, a 3-0 winner over Bakersfield South.
"Once we started to settle down in the back, and made some good touches on the ball, that set things up for the guys up front," Hunters defender Edgar De La Torre said. "We had a plan, and then, did what we had to do. That's how we got the job done."
Jared Lopez set up the first goal. The sophomore sent a well-placed cross through the penalty box, in the direction of Cesar Ramirez in the second minute. Once the senior gained control of the pass, he put the ball in the net, near post, for a 1-0 advantage.
"It helped with our confidence," Ramirez said. "The goal was early. That was good. It was easy. But we were relaxed. We had to focus. We had to play soccer for the rest of the game. We did not want to lose this match."
The Hunters struck again in the 42nd minute to demoralize the other side. After a scramble in front of the frame, Jason Jimenez scored to increase the advantage to 2-0.
"I was surprised the ball came to me. I also knew that I had to finish,"Jimenez said. "I was in the right place at the right time, didn't have time to think, and toe-poked the ball into the net. After that, I think we knew that we were going to win the match."
De La Torre anchored the backline for Canoga Park, with plenty of help from teammates Oscar Ramos, Omar Gonzalez and Omar Solarzano. The unit was able to do a good job of marking forwards Tyler Gilmore and Anthony Chonga.
Coronado had a couple of quality chances in the second half, but goalkeeper Mauricio Garcia was up to the task each time, finishing with five saves to help the Hunters continue their momentum in their fifth consecutive regional playoff appearance.
"I think we had better structure, and better shape, out there today, on both offense and defense, much better than the past couple of matches," Gwin said. "When you're in a tournament like this, you want to see improvement. There were positives to build on."

Ruzi Mohammed thinks that he is around 110 years old. He keeps track of the years using the changing seasons, and there is no missing them in Turtuk, where winters reach -20˚C, and summers are warm and pleasant. Too high for mosquitos, and low enough for a good harvest, Turtuk is a paradise in the summer. The winter is survived by shutting down, almost hibernating, and surviving on wheat mixed with water. It is no wonder that this Himalayan town has been the center of a drawn out conflict between India, Pakistan and China over Ruzi's lifetime. The town now lies at the Pakistani border, on the Indian side, and has recently been opened up to foreign visitors. Ruzi doesn't meet many of them though because he mostly stays in bed, having recently lost the ability to walk, and he only speaks Balti, so it takes two translators for him to talk with us (Balti – Hindi, and Hindi – English).
Ruzi had two sons and two daughters. He lost his sons at a young age to small pox, but his two daughters survived and he now lives surrounded by grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
In a town such as Turtuk where until recently there was no outside access, many people are illiterate (including Ruzi), and there are no cables connecting them to the rest of the world, the only records are held within living memories. Understanding the historical pattern of hazards in a region is essential for assessment of risk today, and it is important to include evidence from all sources – geology, geomorphology, modern satellite measurements, and historical records. We spoke to Ruzi about his memories of 110 years in this valley.
"The winter snow cover used to be thicker. Before the war, in 1971, it was always more than two feet deep." The climate has changed here over his lifetime, but the winters are still harsh.
Ruzi recalls a large flood when he was 8 and a half years old. His family sensed the water coming and managed to flee to higher ground in time, but their village was washed away. The mosque survived – it was well built and on higher ground. Ruzi has donated the farmland behind his house for a new, second mosque to be built.
It is likely that the flood Ruzi remembers was caused by blocking of the river at a higher point by a glacier or landslide. If a lakes builds up behind a dam and then the dam suddenly destabilizes, the lake is sent cascading downstream. We saw lake sediments on the margins of the river – evidence that this process has occurred in the past. As we drove along the silk road we observed many debris flows that could potentially block the river and result in the formation of another unstable lake.
Ruzi says the secret to his long life is eating only local fruit and veg, especially the apricots, and the occasional piece of lamb. And of course, God's will.

" Brand: Playmobil "

Last year I purchased my sons a lego city advent calendar which they shared between them and took great delight in opening every day. I was tempted to buy another lego one this year until I saw one with the contents on display in the lego shop, and I thought to myself it was very little variation on last year's theme. Seems though I have bought both my boys a playmobil set for their main present this year, I decided that a Playmobil calendar might be the better option for this year. I was then umming and aahing about which one to choose as there are a few different themes, and I almost went with Pirates, but then decided to buy this dinosaur one as my children have recently been playing with dinosaur toys more and also they loved Jurassic Park when they watched that.
I felt that the price I paid of around £14 including postage was a brilliant price. The usual RRP is over £18, and that is a lot, but this is a 70 piece set, so it is a fair price I feel.
This came in a pretty large and impressive box, and my children were absolutely delighted on the 1st of December to see such a large colourful box. The dimensions of this calendar are 30x 40cm, and 7cm in depth. The calendar came in a cardboard sleeve which was taped to the advent calendar on the sides of the box. I took this off, but managed to tear some of the picture off the box doing so. It's only on the bottom and top edges, so it hasn't wrecked it but it has spoiled the look a little.
The back of the box the calendar is in has a perforated section with a hole, so if you wanted to you could hang your calendar on a wall. We have not used this, instead perching this on a table so my children can access it when they want to open a door each morning.
Under the cardboard sleeve was a cardboard play scene to put all your little playmobil figures on. We have not assembled this yet, as it is quite large at 50cm long. I don't think it would last till Christmas time if I assembled it now without having somewhere to put it. I'm saving it till we get some more accessories.
The calendar itself is quite a sturdy cardboard. We have been able to easily open the doors using the perforated edges around the doors. None of the doors have torn off when opening, which is something I disliked on the lego advent calendar. I felt that it really looked tatty by the time advent was done.
The pieces inside have been excellent. So far we have had an explorer, his hat and binoculars, his map and sat nav, a motorbike, some boxes with pictures of dinosaurs on, and some walkie talkies and a torch.
The outer sleeve shows pictures of what we will be getting on each day, so I know we will get more excavation tools like a shovel, snakes and scorpions, a little plastic island, a dinosaur, some eggs and a hatched egg. I didn't like this really that the surprise is spoilt, and I made sure I got rid of the outer sleeve before the kids started having a good look at it. I think if you know what you are going to get, it is then not as exciting for them.
My only complaint about this is that the contents inside are in a plastic tray, and we have found that some of the smaller items have fell from one section to another, so this morning for example, my sons took out the torch and walkie talkies, then they looked again and found a set of three tools. They were about to just use them, but I realised that they would then be upset another day to get nothing. I luckily could see from the outer sleeve exactly which door the tools needed to be under, and managed to sort it out.
My children are enjoying this, but I do think they found the little lego models that needed assembling last year were a lot more engaging. Here, the play value will improve as we go through the 24 days and collect all the bits, but for now, they are not finding it as exciting as I hoped. I think when we get the dinosaur skeleton on day 8 they might enjoy more pretending to dig it up and build the bones together.
The recommended age on this is 4-10. The lower end of this I totally agree with due to the number of smallish parts. We've had smaller parts in other sets, but plenty of things are small enough to be a choking hazard. I am not sure about the upped end - I think judge it yourself on your child. I think from the 10 year olds I know, they would find it a bit babyish. The link to Christmas is pretty minimal, with a little picure of santa on the box and some little snow flakes on the outer sleeve being about it.
I think for the price, if your child likes little figures and dinosaurs, then you can't really go wrong with this set. Currently it is £12.99 on amazon with about £3.50 postage on top. I think there are a fair few of these advent calendars with toys in, and this is better quality than some of the more expensive ones like the lego.

Without knowing it, residents of Nenana, Alaska, have been betting on global warming for decades. Each spring, the townspeople erect a wooden tripod on a nearby river and take wagers on when it will fall through the ice. This lottery has inadvertently accumulated almost a century of data on the river's thaw, and a recent analysis of town records shows that the ice cracks about 5 days earlier than it used to. Researchers hope their findings, which match other climate change records, will encourage others to seek climate data in unlikely places.
In 1917, a group of railroad employees working on the Tanana River in central Alaska gathered $800 in wagers on the exact minute that the ice would begin to give way. The friendly bet became an annual tradition in the nearby town of Nenana, and it has since grown into a statewide phenomenon. Today, Alaskans come from all over to partake in the Nenana Ice Classic, enjoying a banana-eating contest and betting on a jackpot that exceeds $300,000.
Raphael "Rafe" Sagarin, an ecologist at Stanford University, believes this betting tradition has created an extremely accurate record of local climate change. Because of the high stakes, he says, organizers have tried to use the same location, equipment, and definition of what constitutes the "breakup" for 84 consecutive years. When he and his colleague Florenza Micheli analyzed records from the Ice Classic, they found that the ice now breaks an average of 5.5 days earlier than it did in 1917. The same warming trend exists in regional temperature readings. Sagarin hopes that the results, appearing in the 26 October issue of Science, will encourage others to look for environmental responses to global warming in data sets collected informally by individuals or communities, like a bird-watcher's records.
"I think it's cool that people living their ordinary lives can contribute to the scientific community," says Julie Coghill, the Ice Classic's Web master, who lives in Fairbanks, Alaska, and has attended the event for decades. Is she concerned that Sagarin might use his data to purloin next year's prize? "Absolutely not," she says. "Rafe is welcome to buy as many tickets as he likes."

In the Northeast, Super Storm Sandy followed by a Winter Wonderland quickly ushered out watermelon, strawberries and asparagus as seasonal options to fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables. As it gets colder and the season undeniably changes, so should your shopping list.
Focus on winter fruits and vegetables that provide health benefits, especially vitamin-rich, immune-boosting nutrients. My Top Ten will help you maximize taste and availability, while minimizing cost.
Sweet potatoes: A good source of vitamins A, C, B6, pantothenic acid, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper and manganese. Many children love sweet potatoes when they are babies, but then lose the taste for them, probably from lack of exposure to them. Keep sweet potatoes on the menu! They are great baked, roasted, whipped, or as a 'French fry' substitute.
Mushrooms: A good source of riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, potassium, phosphorus, copper and selenium. Personally, mushrooms are one of my favorites, but not a winner with everyone in my family! I like to use them in soups, pasta dishes, sautéed or in salads, but there are a lot of ways to use mushrooms!
Kale: This veggie hosts a bounty of nutrients, including Vitamins A, C, K, thiamin, riboflavin, B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper and manganese. Try kale chips in the oven, sautéed, or in salads.
Broccoli: Rich in vitamins A, C, K, folate, magnesium, phosphorus and potassium. Steam florets, roast, stir fry, or eat raw with dip. If you haven't tried Cream of Broccoli Soup, you'll enjoy this recipe! P.S. I made it Monday night–It's super simple, fast and the kids loved it.
Leeks: Loaded with a host of nutrients including vitamins A, C, K, B6, folate, calcium, iron and magnesium (and more!). You can roast leeks or my personal favorite, use them with onion as a base to flavor a variety of soups.
Clementines, Mandarin Oranges, Oranges, Tangerines: All these citrus fruits are packed with vitamins A, C, E, niacin, potassium and copper. I keep them in a bowl on the counter (in fact, I can't keep clemmies stocked!) for those off-schedule requests for food.
Grapefruit: Not for seniors only! Pink grapefruit (as opposed to white) is sweeter, but both types are full of vitamin C, thiamin, B6, folate, pantothenic acid, magnesium and potassium. Peel and eat, or add to salads.
Kiwi: Packed with vitamins C, E, K, folate, potassium and copper. Sure, you can peel a kiwi and slice, but one of the easiest ways to eat them is to cut off the top near the stem, and spoon out the flesh. This sure does make it easy to pack in lunches!
Pomegranate: Vitamins C and K, folate, potassium, copper and manganese–a lot of punch in this fruit. Also, this is a fun fruit for kids to eat. Eat the arils alone or add to vegetable and fruit salads, yogurt, or cereal. If you don't want to mess with the labor of harvesting arils, you can find them ready to eat (and my review) in stores.
Avocado: Vitamins C, K and folate, not to mention a rich source of healthy fat. Make guacamole, spread on sandwiches instead of mayonnaise, add to salads, or just cut in half and sprinkle with fresh lemon, olive oil, Kosher salt and pepper.
Have you tried all of these? Any other ideas for preparing or eating them? Share in the comments below!

David O'Meara has a great chance of landing the first big handicap of the Flat season.
David O'Meara saddled runner-up Mondialiste in this race 12 months ago when he had the misfortune to run into Gabrial, who was good enough to finish third to the legendary Frankel in the Sussex Stakes in 2012, not to mention a fine third behind Solow in last year's Goodwood showpiece.
Mondialiste went onto prove himself a Group One performer when winning the Ricoh Woodbine Mile at Woodbine in September and the Upper Hemsley trainer is clearly hoping that he discovers a similar rich vein with Lord Of The Land, who, like Mondialiste began his racing life in France.
Lord of the Land (102) may be rated 3lb inferior to what Mondialiste (105) was going into the Lincoln, but the son of Shamardal has all the attributes to go one better in this year's race.
He won first-time out as a three-year-old and went on to win another two of his five starts that season, but, just as crucially, he was forward enough to run Don Bosco to three-quarters of a length in a condition race at Maisons-Lafitte over ten furlongs on his reappearance last April, so clearly comes to hand early.
Lord of The Land had enough speed to win over six-and-a-half furlongs on the all-weather at Deauville in August and went on to exact revenge on the tough-as-teak Don Bosco over a mile at Fontainebleau the following month and remains relatively lightly-raced after only nine career starts.
Click here for all the best Lincoln Handicap odds
O'Meara will no doubt be trying to plough the same furrow he did with Mondialiste later in the season but Lord Of The Land has reportedly being coming up to expectations on the gallops and, from a stable that enjoyed two winners at the meeting last year, he could well be capable of providing his trainer with a first Lincoln success.
William Haggas is no stranger to Lincoln success and the Newmarket trainer will be bidding for his fourth victory in the race with Mitraad, following High Low (1992), Very Wise (2007) and Penitent in 2010.
The Aqlaam gelding has been putting in some sterling effort on the Newmarket gallops in his build up to the race and hopes are that if he remains fully sound then he could well prove a Group class performer in time.
He looks nicely weighted on 8st 13lb, off a mark of 99, but he has only had three career runs and is clearly not the easiest to train. His defeat by Hakka when a short-priced favourite at Chelmsford last August doesn't really give that much encouragement that he could be a handicap blot but Haggas has proven himself to be a master of his profession and he has to be feared.
Richard Fahey finally prospered in the race with Brae Hill in 2012 and last year with Gabrial, but his plans for the day are unlikely to be known until much nearer the time and it is not worth hastening a guess as to which is number one but Heaven's Guest has the right credential on his head defeat of Balty Boys in a seven-furlong heritage handicap at Ascot last Summer. One that could go well at big odds would be Eve Johnson Houghton's What About Carlo, who finished fourth in the race 12 months ago and, if the ground is riding soft or heavy, will be right in his element.

DUNEDIN — Leroy Hardy Jr. remembers growing up in the public housing projects of north Douglas Avenue, the heart of the city's black community.
Hardy's family lived on Lorraine Leland Street, bordered by a few dozen families in the neighborhood later known as Highlander Village. Hardy and his friends would climb mango trees or cast nets onto St. Joseph Sound, a short walk away.
"Everybody knew everybody. It was truly a community," Hardy, 44, said Friday. "If you were riding your bike down the street and you did something wrong, your parents probably heard about it before you got home."
Shiloh Missionary Baptist Church, now more than a century old, was the small community's spiritual and political center. As the civil rights era dawned, the church mobilized its members to action. Hardy grew up in the church's pews; now, he serves there as a minister.
But Dunedin's black community has shifted and shrunk in the decades since Hardy's youth. Many families followed jobs or housing outside city limits, and Hardy believes only a few original families remain. U.S. Census figures estimate only 3 percent of the city's residents are black.
The geography of the North Douglas neighborhood has changed as well, gentrified over generations. The old wooden houses and crumbling projects were razed for planned townhomes by developers eyeing the nearby waterfront. Where once there were homes, there are now open lots. But even as the landscape changed, the black residents of Dunedin, many of them Shiloh parishioners, left their mark on city history.
In the early 1990s, Shiloh members joined other residents to protest the city's plans to open a yard-waste mulch site next to the church, saying the noise and odor would devastate the community. Persistent lobbying by minority residents — a rarity in city affairs in those days — persuaded officials to cancel the plans.
Five years ago, neighborhood residents flooded City Hall to protest another plan — this time, the expansion of the nearby sewage-treatment plant further into their neighborhood. The church argued that the larger plant would displace land long used for homes. Smells from the plant had sickened neighborhood residents for years. Its foul stench, they said, sometimes wafted into the church sanctuary.
Former Dunedin Mayor Bob Hackworth and current Mayor Dave Eggers, serving then as commissioners, agreed with residents that the land would better serve the community as affordable housing. The plant expansion plan failed.
"You can't underestimate the power of the church in the black community," Hardy said. "The church itself is the voice."
But not all of the church's involvement ended in clear victory. When the city considered renaming Jackson Street, a short road through the low-income area, after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 2003, the church argued the road was too small to be significant. Commissioners next proposed Patricia Avenue, but business owners there fought the idea, saying the name carried a stigma of destitution.
After more than a year of discussions, the city chose to rename a low-traffic, litter-prone stretch of Highland Avenue between Skinner and San Christopher boulevards. Hackworth told the Times in 2004 it was a cop-out; another resident called it a mockery.
However, Hardy stood before city officials at a meeting last week and praised their devotion to diversity and inclusion. He said their efforts, including designating a week each year to celebrate other races and cultures, had made a difference.
The city's first Diversity Week was in 2004 and was partly credited to the Rev. Clem Bell, the church's leader. This year marks the seventh annual celebration, which began Saturday with a breakfast and performances at the downtown Pioneer Park and continues all week.
Even that has faced its own struggle. Church members met with the local NAACP in 2005 after a King Day choir was interrupted by a white man in a truck driving along Main Street, honking his horn and blasting Dixie.
Hardy, speaking Friday from the pews of Shiloh's sanctuary, said he can't be sure what the future holds for Dunedin's black neighborhood. His children — Ashley, 25; Latoya, 23; Eboni, 17; Leroy III, 16; Isaiah, 13; and Darius, 8 — know little of the community he grew up in, and he imagines that within 10 years even the old projects' streets will be unrecognizable.
Yet the history remains.
"When I drive down Lorraine Leland, I still hear voices," he said. "I still hear kids playing."

The Intel SSD 320 Review: 25nm G3 is Finally Hereby Anand Lal Shimpi on March 28, 2011 11:08 AM EST
- Posted in

- Intel SSD 320
Random Read/Write Speed
The four corners of SSD performance are as follows: random read, random write, sequential read and sequential write speed. Random accesses are generally small in size, while sequential accesses tend to be larger and thus we have the four Iometer tests we use in all of our reviews.
Our first test writes 4KB in a completely random pattern over an 8GB space of the drive to simulate the sort of random access that you'd see on an OS drive (even this is more stressful than a normal desktop user would see). I perform three concurrent IOs and run the test for 3 minutes. The results reported are in average MB/s over the entire time. We use both standard pseudo randomly generated data for each write as well as fully random data to show you both the maximum and minimum performance offered by SandForce based drives in these tests. The average performance of SF drives will likely be somewhere in between the two values for each drive you see in the graphs. For an understanding of why this matters, read our original SandForce article.
Random write speed is improved compared to the 510 thanks to Intel's controller, but we're only looking at a marginal improvement compared to the original X25-M G2.
Many of you have asked for random write performance at higher queue depths. What I have below is our 4KB random write test performed at a queue depth of 32 instead of 3. While the vast majority of desktop usage models experience queue depths of 0 - 5, higher depths are possible in heavy I/O (and multi-user) workloads:
Random read performance has always been a strong point of Intel's controller and the 320 is no different. While we're not quite up to C300 levels, the 320 is definitely competitive here.
Sequential Read/Write Speed
To measure sequential performance I ran a 1 minute long 128KB sequential test over the entire span of the drive at a queue depth of 1. The results reported are in average MB/s over the entire test length.
Without a 6Gbps interface the 320's performance is severely limited. Compared to other 3Gbps drives the 320 is quite good here though.
Read performance is at the top of the chart for 3Gbps drives. I wonder how far Intel would've been able to push things if the 320 had a 6Gbps controller.

bji - Monday, March 28, 2011 - linkYou're retarded. Their systems do 'just work' according to the promised features and reliability. Just because they don't promise TRIM support, and apparently don't require it to satisfy the performance that they promise, doesn't mean that their stuff doesn't 'just work'. The fact is that end users do not need to do any of those commands to use their SSD drives as they are intended to be used.
Not that I should even have to say this, but I don't own a single piece of Apple hardware aside from an old iPod Touch. So please don't accuse me of being a fanboy just because I can't stand ridiculous criticisms like yours. I would defend any company against such drivel. Reply
Vidmar - Monday, March 28, 2011 - linkWait a minute...
"Their systems do 'just work' according to the promised features and reliability."
"I don't own a single piece of Apple hardware aside from an old iPod Touch"
So how can you quantify the first statement if you don't own any? Reply
bji - Monday, March 28, 2011 - linkSo how many Apple devices do I have to own before I can say whether or not they 'just work'? 10? 100? A million? All of them?
Obviously there is no answer to that question that makes any sense; because the question doesn't make any sense.
I was not talking about the actual fact of whether or not any particular Apple device 'just works', I was talking about the question of whether or not the claim that Apple products 'just work' is an any way refuted by the original poster's dumb post. I don't need to ever have touched an Apple product to be able to argue about how those comments did not refute any of the claims that Apple may make directly or indirectly about their products.
Here is a simplified example if this is too hard for you to follow:
Poster A: Look at these instructions on how to replace the heating elements of my toaster with a miniature nuclear reactor core! The are so long and complicated! I can't believe that my toaster manufacturer claimed that this toaster was easy to use!!!
Me: That's dumb, the manufacturer never claimed that installing aftermarket parts on your toaster would be easy; that has nothing to do with the ease-of-use of a toaster. By the way I do own an electric razor made by your toaster company but that doesn't mean I'm biased towards them.
You: How do you know whether or not his toaster is really easy to use if you don't own one? Reply
B3an - Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - linkYou call me a retard, yet you dont even have ANY first hand experience with OSX.
I think you're the retard here.
It's not just about TRIM, it's with many things about Apple products. Hardware and software. All Apple do is falsely advertise and claim that everything they make just works, and is immune to viruses, even though OSX is the most unsecure major OS around.
It can also be argued that if Apple are going to use SSD's in there products, then they should atleast fully support TRIM, which is something that is needed for an SSD to perform at it's best. Reply
sean.crees - Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - linkThey do fully support TRIM. For SSD's that ship with their products. This isn't just an SSD thing though, they have always been this way with hardware, only fully supporting hardware that they personally sell. It does have it's advantages though. You may not personally like it, but Apples approach to hardware and software does have its advantages over the way it's done in the PC world. Reply
marraco - Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - linkApple pretends to be user friendlier than Windows, yet each non basic troubleshooting ever takes a boatload of console commands, hex editors, rebooting into console mode, and crap like it. Reply
Brian Klug - Monday, March 28, 2011 - linkI've taken the plunge and am running TRIM (via the hex-edited kext) on my 2011 MBP with Vertex 2. If this drive randomly implodes, I'm sure someone will get a stern emailing about it ;)
-Brian Reply
Anand Lal Shimpi - Monday, March 28, 2011 - linkI think there's a lot of misunderstanding about what TRIM really does. TRIM simply passes information to the controller - it just says "hey controller, I don't need these LBAs anymore so you can do what you will with them".
The controller then chooses what to do with those LBAs given its internal policies.
The alternative would be to use aggressive idle time garbage collection. I'm not personally a fan of this as it does burn up p/e cycles vs. more conservatively running through garbage collection routines when necessary.
TRIM really does help keep performance high. Until we get filesystems that are NAND-aware, it's the best option we have.
Take care,
Anand Reply
bji - Monday, March 28, 2011 - linkWhat is a filesystem that is 'NAND-aware' other than one that knows how to tell the underlying device that it's done with a block, i.e., issue a TRIM command? Reply
jcompagner - Tuesday, March 29, 2011 - linkThen please tell me,
if trim didn't tell the ssd that it doesn't need that block, what can garbage collect do then?
So i write the drive completely full. then i delete half of it without trim.
Now i don't do anything, what can then a GC do? Nothing.. because as far as the ssd concern everything is still valid real data.
Only when i then start writing on places where the ssd thought that was written it knows that it can write there again..
If you keep your trash out of the the garbage bin then you can empty your bin all the time you want but the garbage is not cleared. Reply

Gamers are getting tired of World of Warcraft, according to the developer of upcoming fantasy MMO Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures.
Speaking in an interview with VideoGamer.com, quest designer Joel Bylos said that while "everybody working in the industry respects WoW", there is a "feeling on the Internet" that it is losing its lustre.
Blizzard's World of Warcraft has proved to be a gaming phenomenon since its release in November 2004 and currently enjoys 9.3 million active subscribers across the globe.
When asked whether he thought people were getting tired of WoW and might be looking for something different, Bylos said: "Yeah. There's definitely that feeling on the Internet. You get that just from online communities, which of course we all pay attention to as well."
He added: "But I think one mistake a lot of people make is they design a game to be WoW and WoW was successful on its own two legs and that's what Conan is going to do."
AoC is a violent fantasy MMO set in the universe of Conan the Barbarian and is scheduled for a March 2008 release on PC and sometime after that for Xbox 360.
For more on Age of Conan head over to the first part of our hands-on preview.

You know you're in neo-noir country when the first images on the screen turn out to be empty freeway ramps bathed in cold moonlight and oil-cracking towers looming in the fog. It's as though Michelangelo Antonioni and Nicholas Ray had both been let loose again in Los Angeles to spread wide the old alienation, the dark blanket of cynicism.
How long will it be until someone gets shot, point-blank, in the chest? How long till the next betrayal?
Not long, actually. From its bleak title (taken from a real suburb, actually) to its final killing, John Irvin's City of Industry is drenched in the gloom, violence and ennui of film noir. But in this self-conscious, postmodern version of the great 1940s genre, suggestion is less valued than literalness: The blood is now more profuse, the women wear less, the dialogue is cruder. Director Irvin (Widow's Peak, The Dogs of War) fulfills all the conventions of the form, then bangs us over the head for good measure.
The raw, tough-guy hero, played by--here's a surprise--Harvey Keitel, is a career criminal named Roy Egan, who's done his stretch in the penitentiary and is otherwise a fastidious professional. Before setting out on the film's diamond heist gone wrong, he carefully presses his suit, then goes to bed early. Everything about Roy--his quick thinking, his tough code of ethics, the pure single-mindedness with which he later takes up the role of avenging angel--tells us that he's a bad guy we can love. He's the old guard, primed and polished.
His opposite number is the robbery crew's ratty blond getaway driver, Skip (Stephen Dorff), who's been recruited by Egan's younger brother, Lee (Timothy Hutton). Reckless, cruel and fatalistic, Skip plays Sid Vicious to Roy's Mozart. Half an hour after the robbers pull off the job, Skip kills Roy's brother and the fourth thief, irresponsible Jorge (Wade Dominguez), and runs off with all the loot. Roy pursues slippery Skip through the underworld of Los Angeles with blood in his eye.
Thus do director Irvin (who's quite a stylist) and writer Ken Solarz (writer-producer of Miami Vice) get their chance to show us Oriental gangsters in the fleshpots and gambling houses of Chinatown, black gangsters from Watts, and every dark, desolate stretch of unknown L.A. "scenery" they can find. As you might imagine, indestructible Roy Egan can rough up sullen bartenders, slimy lawyers and arrogant fences with the best of them, but he meets his match in Rachel (Famke Janssen), the grieving (but savvy) widow of the slain Jorge. When preview audiences snickered at the idea of a Keitel-Janssen romance (she's the sizzling villainess from the latest James Bonder, Goldeneye), those scenes were cut; what we've got left is straight vengeance touched by a little redemption, some inventive killing and a slice of neo-noir that doesn't quite measure up to the best new specimens--movies like John Dahl's The Last Seduction and Stephen Frears's The Grifters.
When someone tells Roy Egan, man with a mission, to call the police, he tells that someone: "I'm my own police." Well, of course he is, just as John Wayne used to be his own police when he was chasing outlaws in black hats, and just as Dirty Harry Callahan was his own police even when he was a member of the police force.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Will Roy get his man? Will it be nighttime when he does it? Will he get shot a couple of times? What do you think? This may be 1997--a year as postmodern as all get-out--but some things never change.
City of Industry.
Screenplay by Ken Solarz. Directed by John Irvin. With Harvey Keitel, Stephen Dorff, Famke Janssen and Timothy Hutton.

I still think this site can be useful, in that it invites more public participation (in fact, I hope mos tof the content here will come from public participation). But I do appreciate the work Noise Off has done, especially their sections headed "The Money Trail." NIce work.

No. 65: Thompson Square, 'Are You Gonna Kiss Me or Not' – Top 100 Country Love Songs
The breakout hit for husband and wife duo Thompson Square became one of the most sought-after singles on iTunes in 2011 on its way to No. 1 and an armful of major award nominations. What makes this song so remarkable — and a must have on the list of Top 100 Country Love Songs — is that it works to be nothing more than a sweet, simple story of one long-lasting relationship. There's no syrup or drama, just two people nervous in love.
"When the preacher man said, 'Say I do' / I did and you did too / Then I lifted that veil and saw your pretty smile / And I said 'Are you gonna kiss me or not,'" they sing together.

Sony failed to follow standard security practices
By its own admission, Sony failed to follow Industry Data Security Standard guidelines when it failed to delete elderly credit card details from its Online Entertainment network, allowing them to be snaffled up by miscreant hackers.
Robin Adams, director of security, fraud and risk management at The Logic Group and - it says here - "a recognised expert in the Payment Card Data Security Standard (PCI DSS)," says Sony inadvertently admitted that it is not compliant with the standard.
Adams points to Sony's comments, regarding the second loss of data it discovered on its servers - that relating to Sony Online Entertainment. Sony said: "Information from an outdated database from 2007 containing approximately 12,700 non-US customer credit or debit card numbers and expiration dates (but not credit card security codes) and about 10,700 direct debit records listing bank account numbers of certain customers in Germany, Austria, Netherlands and Spain may have also been obtained."

Steelers bring in Georgia's Jones for visit
Jarvis Jones, an outside linebacker from Georgia who is expected to be a first-round pick in the NFL Draft later this month, was one of five potential draft choices who visited the Steelers on Tuesday.
Also brought in for personal visits were linebackers Jamie Collins of Southern Mississippi and Khaseem Greene of Rutgers, and safeties Jonathan Meeks of Clemson and Phillip Thomas of Fresno State.
Since Monday, the Steelers have brought in eight players for in-house visits, including five linebackers. Outside linebacker John Simon of Ohio State and inside linebacker Vince Williams of Florida State met with them Monday. They can bring in as many as 30 players for such visits.
Jones, a strong pass rusher, began his career at Southern Cal only to miss the final nine games in 2009 with a neck injury. He subsequently was diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a narrowing of the neck canal, and USC doctors would not clear him to play. He transferred to Georgia, where he finished his career.
Jones had 12 1⁄2 sacks last season, but the neck condition has left some teams wary of devoting a first-round pick to him.
Collins, Greene and Thomas are projected to go as high as the second round, and Meeks is regarded as a lower-round pick.
Thomas accounted for 20 turnovers during his college career and led the nation with eight interceptions last season. Collins turned in one of the top workouts of any player at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, running a 4.64 in the 40 and leading his position group in five categories. Greene is the half-brother of Pitt running back Ray Graham; he began his college career at safety but was moved to weak-side linebacker by former Rutgers coach Greg Schiano, now the Buccaneers' coach.
The NFL Draft is April 25-27.

McCaffery's pledge changes culture of Iowa basketball
Coach has delivered on promise to compete
IOWA CITY — Iowa's slow build to basketball respectability began a pledge from Fran McCaffery nearly four years ago.
McCaffery sat in front of a packed room during his introductory news conference and issued a value statement of sorts for his era of Iowa basketball.
"I can promise you this: We're going to compete," McCaffery said in 2010. "We're going to play the game the right way. I'm going to coach with passion, but our players are going to have fun. They're going to enjoy what they do on the floor, and this place is going to be rocking again."
McCaffery has delivered on his promises. The Hawkeyes won 25 games last year, 15 more than in 2010. Before McCaffery, Iowa averaged 60.5 points a game. Last year the Hawkeyes scored more than 70. Nine scholarship players with eligibility left the program under predecessor Todd Lickliter, followed by two more shortly after McCaffery's arrival. Under McCaffery, just two opted to leave. Iowa's season-ticket totals now could soar past 10,000 for 2013-14. In 2009-10, Iowa's average paid attendance was 9,550.
Iowa's basketball culture has changed. It's relevant locally and nationally. Nearly every preseason publication ranks the Hawkeyes. They return 93 percent of their scoring following an NIT runner-up finish and a 9-9 Big Ten record. The expectations are real, not a dream. It's something the current players appreciate while reflecting on their humble beginnings at media day.
"To be honest with you, when I signed as a high school kid, that wasn't really on mind," said junior forward Aaron White, a third-team all-Big Ten selection last year. "I didn't think I was even good enough to help turn a program around like we have. I take great pride in that, and it's something I'm always going to look back on and be proud of."
"I've seen those guys (the coaches) work from the bottom," Iowa senior forward Melsahn Basabe said. "We were losing, we lost seven consecutive games in the Big Ten my freshman year. Different low points. But I seen how hard they consistently worked and put into this. I think it's a testament to all the people here that's put into the program and the players."
Senior point guard Devyn Marble had to deal with his own legacy before coming to Iowa. His father, Roy, is the school's all-time leading scorer. Devyn Marble signed with Iowa before McCaffery arrived. He recommitted after McCaffery was hired. Now, a third-team all-Big Ten selection, Marble has thrived under McCaffery's tutelage.
"I wanted to make a difference, be remembered for some way," Marble said. "Some guys like to go to the big-time programs, and that's cool, too. To each his own. But I feel like when you can go and change a program, the culture ... that means a lot more. I feel like after this season, if everything goes the way I have it planned, I definitely will be very happy the way my four years went here."
McCaffery still has one step to go. In his 2010 opening statement, McCaffery said it was his "responsibility" to lift Iowa to the NCAA tournament, where he's placed three other schools. He's built an impressive resume, but taking Iowa to the NCAA tournament would be a pinnacle achievement in his 18 years as a head coach.
"No question," McCaffery said Wednesday. "I think anybody who gets into this business hopes to be in that position. How great is it to have the opportunity to coach in the Big Ten. Not everybody gets to do that. I'm very thankful to President (Sally) Mason and (athletics director) Gary Barta for giving me the chance and believing in me that I could be the guy that got it going again. But I believed it from the beginning."I had people tell me I couldn't do it. It couldn't be done. But I knew if I get the right staff, and we go after the right players and we get the right mix of players, we can win. We can have fun, and we can do it the right way. We're not going to cut corners. But little by little, we've had players that have come because they wanted to be Hawkeyes. You've got to get guys who want to be here. To a man, that's what we have."

Anyone use it? Like it? Can we get on unrooted bionic?
I use it but you need to be rooted. It is cool to use.
How do you get it to work on the bionic. The new APK i tried does not work due to seeing google search already on the device and will not overwrite. Phone is on ICS rooted and CWM installed. Not on a custom ROM. on OTA update ROM.
I followed the instructions in this thread over at XDA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747224
