What's your fast-food fantasy?
We promise we won't tell, but where do you like to cheat on your diet? Let us guess: steamy sessions with French fries in the car? Furtive licks of a Frostys during your 4 pm crash? It's only human. Sometimes, you just don't have access to health food, and in the moment, a double-chalupa'ed-McWhopper might not sound like a bad idea. Luckily, help is here. These 10 delicious (and, believe it or not, nutritious) meals will help keep you honest in the face of deep-fried temptation.Chipotle: Barbacoa And Guacamole Salad
Here's an awesome little secret: You can eat 100% GMO free at Chipotle. When the company decided to disclose their ingredients online this summer, they went an extra step further and became the first to list foods containing GMOs in its online menu. Unfortunately, most of their corn and soy contains GMOs, which is par for the course since these are the two most common genetically modified crops. But Chipotle makes it easy to choose other options with simple color-coding: anything with a pink square and a "G" is GMO, along with other designations for preservatives, organic, and responsibly raised meats.
Make your own salad with no-hormone-added barbacoa, which doesn't use unnecessary antibiotics (chicken, pictured here, is also a great choice). Add romaine lettuce, guacamole, a little sour cream, and tomatillo-green chili salsa. It's definitely a sodium splurge, but full of MUFAs and quality ingredients.
*Extra bonus for Cali! You can try Chipotle's new Sofritas: shredded organic (and non-GMO) tofu braised with chilies and spices. They're only available in California right now, but fingers crossed they'll expand all over.
NUTRITION (per salad) 585 cal, 37 g pro, 40 g carb, 19 g fiber, 31 g fat, 11.5 g sat fat, 1215 mg sodiumDomino's Pizza: Veggie Pizza With Gluten-Free Crust
Who knew fast-food pizza could be gluten-free-friendly? Domino's is, thanks to its GF crust with—truly!—nothing bad in it. Load it up with baby spinach, fresh mushrooms, and diced tomatoes, none of which have preservatives. Plus, there's no partially hydrogenated oil (code for trans fat) here, unlike in Pizza Hut's thin crust—code for trans fat. These ingredients are the best you can hope for large-chain pizza.
NUTRITION (per 1/6 pizza) 133 cal, 4 g pro, 16 g carb, 2 g fiber, 6 g fat, 2 g sat fat, 327 mg sodiumStarbucks: Protein Bistro Box And Juice
Sweet, meet savory! Your portable lunch comes equipped with a cage-free hardboiled egg, cheddar cheese, multigrain bread, peanut butter, apple slices, and grapes. After you meet 15% of your daily calcium requirement, sip an Evolution Fresh Sweet Greens and Lemon juice, with no additives and 10 different fruits and veggies.
NUTRITION (protein box) 380 cal, 13 g pro, 37 g carb, 5 g fiber, 19 g fat, 6 g sat fat, 470 mg sodium; (juice, 8 oz) 40 cal, 2 g pro, 9 g carb, 0 g fiber, 0 g fat, 0 g sat fat, 120 mg sodiumMcDonald's: Premium Southwest Salad
Surprised to see McDonald's on this list? Don't be! It's another Koff-approved pick. Opt for this hearty, fresh salad, which comes with mixed greens, black beans, corn, cheese, and tortilla strips. To keep it extra-light, hold the chicken and wield the lime wedge instead of dressing.
NUTRITION (without chicken) 140 cal, 6 g pro, 20 g carb, 6 g fiber, 4.5 g fat, 2 g sat fat, 150 mg sodiumPret A Manger: Wild Salmon Salad
If you live in Boston, New York, DC, or Chicago (or Hong Kong, the UK, or France) you're in luck! Pret A Manger is your no-brainer answer for all quick lunches. With a fresh and truly healthy menu, you really can't go wrong, but our favorite pick of the moment is the Wild Salmon Salad, featuring cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, tzatziki sauce, and lemon. Pret uses wild salmon, which has way less fat and more zinc than farmed fish (check out the differences between wild salmon vs. farmed salmon). It doesn't get tastier than that.
NUTRITION (per salad) 170 cal, 23 g pro, 13 g carb, 3 g fiber, 3 g fat, 0 g sat fat, 820 mg sodiumSubway: Veggie Delite
Though Subway is notorious for packing ingredients and preservatives into their food (the banana peppers alone have 11 ingredients), all of the Veggie Delite toppings are on the clean list. Stick to red onions, tomatoes, cukes, and green peppers, then add on some spinach, vinegar, and minimum-ingredient Swiss cheese. Voila! A a tasty 6-incher that won't send you into a sodium coma.
NUTRITION (per 6" sub) 280 cal, 12 g pro, 44 g carb, 5 g fiber, 7 g fat, 3 g sat fat, 15 mg chol, 320 mg sodiumWendy's: Sour Cream And Chive Potato
Blind yourself to the corn syrupy Frosty and beeline for the classic Wendy's side: the fabulous baked potato. Dressed with reduced-fat sour cream and chives, it's one of the healthiest picks on the menu. Spuds are packed with potassium, folate, and fiber (just remember to eat the fiber-rich skin). And don't play hot potato! Let them cool down first—cool potatoes have much more resistant starch, which gets fermented in your colon and becomes food for your gut.
NUTRITION (per serving) 320 cal, 8 g pro, 63 g carb, 7 g fiber, 3.5 g fat, 2 g sat fat, 50 mg sodiumPanera Bread: Power Chicken Hummus Bowl
This member of Panera's hidden menu (just ask) is a favorite of Prevention's RD Ashley Koff. She applauds the antibiotic-free chicken and mix of fibrous veggies. A dollop of hummus later, and the dish packs 33 grams of lean protein—without many calories, thanks to a satisfying squeeze of lemon in lieu of dressing.
NUTRITION (per bowl) 330 cal, 33 g pro, 23 g carb, 8 g fiber, 13 g fat, 2 g sat fat, 590 mg sodiumBoston Market: Roast Turkey Breast
When you're craving meat on the road, Boston Market's not a bad place to pull over. Choose their roasted turkey breast meal, which has a relatively short ingredient list: just good ol' turkey breast, with a solution of water, salt, lemon juice concentrate, and vinegar. Pair it with a side of fresh steamed vegetables, and you've got a guilt-proof pit stop.
NUTRITION (5 oz turkey breast plus fresh steamed vegetables) 260 cal, 40 g pro, 8 g carb, 3 g fiber, 8 g fat, 1g sat fat, 780 mg sodiumChick-Fil-A: Side Salad And Fresh Fruit
While diving into the ingredient lists, we realized why Chick-Fil-A chicken tastes so irresistible: monosodium glutamate is one of the first ingredients. But in terms of fast-food salads, theirs is one of the cleanest around, with Romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, red cabbage, carrots, and a smattering of cheese. Pair it with a fruit cup of apples, strawberries, and grapes, and you've made a respectable choice on the run.

OAKLAND, CALIF., Aug. 15, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
On July 10, 2012, federal agents taped a notice of property forfeiture to the doors of Harborside Health Center, a medical cannabis dispensary with locations in Oakland and San Jose, Calif. If successful, this action by U.S. Attorney Melinda Haag would shut down Harborside, forcing thousands of patients back into the underground, illegal market.
August 2nd U. S. Congresswoman Barbara Lee introduced H.R. 6335, is called the Medical Marijuana Property Rights Protection Act. It would prohibit the feds from using asset forfeiture proceedings to threaten, intimidate, or otherwise close state-legal cannabis dispensaries, and "begin to align federal law to states' laws that allow for safe access to medical marijuana," she said in a statement. California State Board of Equalization member Betty Yee said lawful dispensaries under attack in California contribute $100 million in sales taxes each year, and the federal crackdown on law-abiding businesses undermines public safety. "It's time for federal government at the highest levels to put a stop to harassing legitimate business such as Harborside Health Center," she wrote. The closure of Harborside would have an especially destructive effect on California's most medically challenged patients, who are less able to negotiate the dangers of the illegal marketplace and who cannot risk using untested cannabis from unregulated sources. Likewise, the patients who volunteered their stories for this video are afraid that if Harborside closes, they will have no reliable, safe source for the medicine they depend on.
NORML estimates that there are now more than 1.1 million medical cannabis patients in California alone. Patients use medical cannabis to alleviate suffering from a wide range of conditions, including arthritis, cancer, migraine headaches, multiple sclerosis, glaucoma and HIV-AIDS.
Harborside Health Center was founded in 2006 to ensure these medical cannabis patients receive medicine that is safe and effective, and is provided in full compliance with California law. Since then, Harborside has become known nationwide as a model medical cannabis dispensary that has set the standard for best practices in legal compliance and responsible operation. If you haven't already done so, we invite you to ask President Obama to stop the war on cannabis patients by signing our petition at saveharborside.org.

Opium Brides
January 3, 2012 // 32:46
Afghan opium farmers have long borrowed money from drug gangs to subsidize their crops. Now, as the Afghan government destroys their livelihood in an eradication program, the farmers find themselves in a horrifying situation: repay their debts or give their daughters to drug-traffickers. Najibullah Quraishi reports on the harrowing story of the collateral damage of the counter-narcotics effort.

Will the iPhone Rock the Entire World?
- Will the iPhone Rock the Entire World?
- Apple in Emerging Markets
That's not to say that these emerging markets will bypass PCs altogether. Indeed, the OLPC and various Netbook devices that sell under $400 USD will likely gain ground in some of these countries and deliver a more flexible and richer approach to computing then could be delivered by cell or smartphone. But these products need to get even cheaper, or their adoption will be modest at best.
Perhaps this explains why Apple created such a robust phone. Of course, it's still too expensive for most of these emerging markets, though unlocked iPhones are finding their way into China, Indonesia, India, and other markets where PC penetration is low compared with that of Western countries. Add the potential impact of the SDK to create a PC-like environment and you can see why the buzz about the iPhone becoming the next PC platform has merit.
The key here is for Apple is to be extremely aggressive in creating new iPhones that are much lower priced, and find ways to get them into these international markets where cell-phone growth is booming. Apple needs to put its stake in the ground in these developing markets and establish a leadership position.
If it does, it will cause real problems for the Dells and HPs of this world, whose entire legacy has been focused on traditional PCs and not cell phones or other small-form-factor mobile devices. Apple has already raised concerns among the traditional PC folks due to its market share gains, so imagine the repercussions of this kind of success. Apple could define what the rest of the world considers its "personal computer."
Think about this: In many parts of the globe, there is not enough electricity to run a traditional PC, and getting some type of Internet connection is mostly impossible. But a battery-operated smartphone that could be charged at community charging stations, and used through access to wireless networks, would more easily provide connection to the Internet.
This explains why Intel and many of its international partners are rushing to install WiMAX-based wireless networks in many of these emerging markets, and why the local telecom companies have made establishing next-gen wireless networks a major priority. (Remember, Intel has a Mobile Internet Device, or MID, that looks much like the iPhone, though it has a bigger screen.) While voice applications rule these markets today, these companies fully understand that wireless networks will someday become the backbone that connects their users to the Internet.
If we do see this shift in personal computing, as many have suggested, the ramifications for our industry are enormous. Today, much of the technology industry is driven by the traditional PC hardware and software vendors. In the future, however, the carriers, handset makers, and a broad range of OS and software companies may be the ones leading the way

Activities at the August 9 Wednesday Strategy Lunch chaired by Dick Dingman of the Free Congress Foundation
Marshall Wittmann of The Heritage Foundation reviewed prospects in the Senate for the MacIntosh/Istook/Ehrlich "No Welfare for Lobbyists" provision that passed the House August 4 as part of the Labor/HHS Appropriations Bill. Senate staff present reported that prospects for passage are "uphill" but will increase substantially if Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) is not appointed to the conference committee when the Labor/HHS bill eventually goes to conference. Majority Leader Bob Dole (R-KS), will make this decision, they said. Contact the Heritage Foundation at 202/546-4400.
Senator Paul Coverdell (R-GA) discussed Medicare & Social Security, saying: "The [country] needs a two-year debate over Social Security. Ask the people: What do you think the changes should or shouldn't be?," and then "do what the people want." A summary copy of President Clinton's Medicare Trustees' Report of 1995 was distributed by other participants. Contact Senator Coverdell's office at 202/224-3643.
Activities at the August 10 Stanton foreign affairs and defense meeting chaired by Laszlo Pasztor of Coalitions for America and Amy Moritz of The National Center for Public Policy Research.
Frank Gaffney of the Center for Security Policy alerted participants that a decision by the Castro government in Cuba to complete two flawed Chernobyl-style VVER-440 nuclear reactors 150 miles from the U.S. "bears not just close watching, but urgent action." If the project is completed and an accident occurs, up to 55 million Americans could be killed as a wave of lethal radiation could spread either across the southern U.S. from Florida to Texas or across the eastern seaboard from Florida to the mid-Atlantic, he said. Among potentially-fatal reactor flaws:
Gaffney reported that Castro seems to want the U.S. to pay him a substantial sum not to complete the reactors, and outlined U.S. alternatives:

Barbara von der Heydt of the Heritage Foundation, author of Heritage Committee Brief #13, "Corruption in Russia: No Democracy Without Morality," reported on the six years she spent interviewing 200 people who resisted the Iron Curtain from within during the Cold War. Von der Heydt described in detail the extreme corruption pervading the Russian economy; cases in which witnesses to corruption have been killed to silence them; the need for a moral renewal in Russia and a Heritage Foundation project to "build bridges between American conservatives and reformers and people of faith" in Russia. Contact the Heritage Foundation at 202/546-4400.
Members of the African-American leadership group Project 21 have endorsed California Governor Pete Wilson's decision to file a lawsuit August 10 charging that seven state agencies have been unconstitutionally practicing race and gender preference policies. Project 21 members call the lawsuit "a necessary step to eliminating racial preferences." Project 21 member Jonathan Leonard, a Los Angeles County Fire Commissioner, supports Wilson's determination to end racial preferences: "I applaud Governor Wilson's action because affirmative action has lost its meaning. Affirmative action must be restored back to its original intent which was to ensure equality of opportunity for everyone. Today, we have minority groups and women who have not suffered at the hands of slavery and legal segregation who are getting a free ride on the efforts of others. What began as a gesture to address the unique circumstance of black Americans has become a political entitlement for almost everyone." Project 21 member Charles House, Executive Director of the Los Angeles County Republican Central Committee says: "It's about time someone took the lead to move our country forward on this important, if not defining, issue of our time. The Governor should be commended for his principled stance on this sensitive issue. I support whole-heartedly his moral stance of not counting people by race." Contact Project 21 at (202) 507-6398.
Members of the African-American leadership group Project 21 say President Clinton's decision to regulate tobacco is a misguided application of government power and resources that would be better spent combating illegal drug use and associated problems in the inner cities and elsewhere. Project 21 members point out that if the increases in cocaine, marijuana, and heroin use between 1992-94 continue at current trends, by 1996 President Clinton will have presided over the greatest increase in drug use in modern history. This includes sharp increases in illegal drug use among teenagers in 1994, despite sharp declines before 1992. Project 21 member and Georgia political activist Teresa Jeter-Chappell says: "I'm disturbed that the President has chosen big government again as the solution for solving the problem of teenage smoking. His actions are probably unconstitutional. It's one thing for the President to use his office as a bully pulpit, but another altogether to use it as a throne to issue yet another executive decree. I wish this President would devote as much energy to the substance abuse problem as he does the tobacco problem. Drugs like cocaine and heroin have a much more perverse effect on society than tobacco." The President's proposals included banning cigarette vending machines, sharp limits on tobacco advertising, and a government-mandated $150 million advertising campaign by tobacco companies to urge young people not to smoke. Contact Project 21 at (202) 507-6398.

Campaign Overview, 22 ABY:
You return to your chambers in the Jedi Academy, quite exhausted from the day's training. Master Skywalker, Master Katarn, and Master Solusar had been working you and the other trainees extra hard today. Ever since the sun had come up that morning, it had been nothing but Force Drills, Lightsaber drills, History lessons, more Force drills... you'd barely even had time to eat!
You take a moment to rest your weary body on the bed, when you notice the small strobing light on your holoprojector, which rests on the table by your bed. You breathe deeply as you reach over and push the button, and an image of Master Skywalker appears before you.
"Congratulations," he begins, "on a job well done today in your training. I was most impressed by the effort you and the other trainees all displayed out there today. Now, I'd like you to take a moment, and remember back to the various missions you have been sent on with your respective masters."
You take a moment and remember back on the half dozen or so missions you'd been sent on with one of the trainers here, to assist and to learn by observation from your masters.
"Now, I want you, for tonight's mediation, to think on all you learned during those times, and from your training in general here at the Academy. You are going to need all the skills you have learned here to overcome your final test; the final roadblock to becoming a Jedi Knight.
Make sure you are well rested as well, because tomorrow is shaping up to be quite exciting for you all."
The holoprojector cuts out, the blue glow no longer filling the room. You lay down on the bed and close your eyes for a moment.... Your final test.

Is the Church Top Heavy?
I struggled with what to name this post. I almost called it "Does the Church Overemphasize Leaders."
A few days ago, I was talking with a friend about leadership among Christians as represented in Scripture. My friend made an interesting observation. He said, "Scripture talks about leaders far less than the church today talks about or relies upon leaders."
I think my friend is right. So, I started thinking to myself, "Is the church today top heavy?" As I thought about it, I determined that I could answer that question, "Yes," or I could answer it, "No."
In one sense, the church is top heavy today because of the emphasis that is place on specific leaders. In many churches, leadership functions are reduced to the giftings and abilities and talents and time and energy and resources of one man (or a few men, at most). In this sense, the church is not top heavy in numbers, but it is top heavy in emphasis. Leaders receive more of the emphasis and attention.
When a decision has to be made (or someone wants a decision made – there is a difference), the church turns to their leader(s). When a question is raised, the leader(s) is expected to provide the answer. When there is a problem or struggle, everyone expects the leader(s) to provide the solution.
This is "top heavy" in the sense that roles and responsibilities are falling on the shoulders of leaders today, while in Scripture we see the entire church tackling these decisions, questions, and problems.
On the other hand (and in another sense of the term "top heavy"), our modern, traditional church structure indicates that the church is not as top heavy as we see in Scripture. Again, we tend to see one person or a few people leading. These people are responsible for the teaching, discipling, admonishing, training… pretty much everything that the church does in Scripture. We relegate other (non-necessary) duties to non-leaders.
In Scripture, we see something different. Everyone takes part in teaching, discipling, admonishing, training, etc. The entire church works together to serve their community and proclaim the gospel to those how are not believers. Thus, many, many more took part in "leadership" in the examples that we see in Scripture. In other words, when it comes to number of people functioning, the church today is not as top heavy as the church in Scripture.
So, yes, today the church is top heavy in the emphasis that is placed on one leader or a few leaders. But, the church is not top heavy when it comes to the functions that every believer should take part in.
In fact, as you can probably tell, these two senses of "top heavy" work together. Since we emphasize one leader or a few leaders, then others are not required to (or even allowed to) function as they should. And (to look at it another way), since everyone is not functioning as they should (to build up one another together), then one or a few have to bear the brunt of the responsibility.
Either way you look it, it's a problem.

Perhaps the imbalance exists because the church is occupied with work it was never meant to do, willfully so in order to avoid the work that it is meant to do. There are always plenty of people in the congregation who are "called" to preach, or run the women's guild, or manage the building fund, or serve on the vestry, or sing in the choir. The rest of us look at the resulting buzz of activity, and are content to think that God's work surely must be being accomplished here. And that we can participate merely by saying, "Just tell me what to do."
Which of the core functions of a church requires someone to make a decision for the group? I can't think of any.
yes! great clear summaries – on both uses of the phrase. I never really thought how they were so connected – but they are very much so. the structure perpetuates it all….. which came first? i assume it all started with pride of some leaders coupled with laziness of "the rest"
It is interesting to note that Paul doesn't address "leaders," in his letters, nor does he tell leaders to solve problems.
Imagine today the flap if someone from outside a local church spoke about issues and problems directly to the church (the people), without first speaking these things over the the "proper" leaders, and without emphasizing the need for their leadership in solving them.
We just think in hierarchical terms, like a business, school, or the military. We have a hard time understanding the concept of every member being connected directly to God, and God choosing to work through each member, such that all members need each other–none are complete or sufficient alone, yet we all bring some pieces to the table that are necessary.
Yes we are top heavy. Because we are in love with the idea of leadership not service. As a matter of fact the people who call themselves "serveants" actually demand you pay them for serving 😮
hmmm… "leaders… one man (or a few men at most)" …
Does "top heavy leadership" also have a gender-specific meaning?

Mentoring event set for April 9 at CCU
The purpose of the event is to provide public school students participating in the mentoring program with the opportunity to visit the college campus to see where their mentors go to school. Mentors normally visit children at their school each week. Not only does it make the college experience more real to these students, but it motivates them to consider higher education in their own futures.
"A Day in the Life of a College Student" is hosted by 150 CCU student mentors as well as 50 volunteer students, faculty and staff members and Chauncey. The event will feature a variety of activities that encourage students to succeed through education, science and artistic expression. Also, each student will receive a new book to promote literacy and reading.
Attending elementary schools are Carolina Forest, Conway, Homewood, Myrtle Beach, Palmetto Bays, South Conway and Waccamaw. Attending middle schools are Conway, Myrtle Beach and Whittemore Park.
The Dalton and Linda Floyd Family TEALmentors program is housed in CCU's Biddle Center for Teaching, Learning and Community Engagement within the Spadoni College of Education. The program teaches CCU students to become positive role models for children in South Carolina schools to ensure success in and out of the classroom.

text: I was born in '84 and had MOTU handed down to me. The hope of getting 200x characters and designs is pretty much the sole reason I'm collecting this line. Yeah I like most of the vintage designs too, but I've been there and done that. It's characters like Marzo, Keldor, and Faceless One (as well as mini comics characters, unmade prototype characters, etc.) that get me truly excited for this line. If this line was nothing but the vintage line with better sculpting and articulation I would no doubt pass.

Soquel >> In honor of Mother's Day, there is a special treat for moms who attend the Rabbit Haven adoption event from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday at the Soquel Pet Pals, 3660 Soquel Drive.
The treat is possibly a flower or other special treats, said Heather Bechtel, Rabbit Haven executive director.
The event will feature 25 rabbits available for meeting, greeting and adoption.
Prospective owners can meet with the haven's staff and volunteers to talk about the perks of bringing rabbits into a home, including companionship and ease of care.
The four-legged mammals also work as great pets for people with busy schedules since they are most active at dawn and dusk, Bechtel said.
Further questions such as care, what supplies are needed, how often they need exercise and even how to play with the rabbits can be answered by staff members, Bechtel said.
Adoptions are more than welcomed since the haven is still experiencing a large influx of rabbits from the Easter holiday. If people want to meet with a specific rabbit, they can visit www.therabbithaven.org to view rabbits and make a specific appointment.
Adoption kits include a free veterinary exam, a home health check demonstration, a nail trim, coupons for pet supply purchases and a rabbit education packet.
Current rabbit owners are also invited to attend along with their furry friends. The haven staff will be on hand for complimentary grooming services and health checks.
For details, email email@example.com.
Where: Pet Pals, 3660 Soquel Drive, Santa Cruz
When: 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday

AMD A10-5800K & A8-5600K Review: Trinity on the Desktop, Part 1by Anand Lal Shimpi on September 27, 2012 12:00 AM EST
Switching gears for the moment we have Minecraft, our OpenGL title. It's no secret that OpenGL usage on the PC has fallen by the wayside in recent years, and as far major games go Minecraft is one of but a few recently released major titles using OpenGL. Minecraft is incredibly simple—not even utilizing pixel shaders let alone more advanced hardware—but this doesn't mean it's easy to render. Its use of massive amounts of blocks (and the overdraw that creates) means you need solid hardware and an efficient OpenGL implementation if you want to hit playable framerates with a far render distance. Consequently, as the most successful OpenGL game in quite some number of years (at over 7.5mil copies sold), it's a good reminder for GPU manufacturers that OpenGL is not to be ignored.
Minecraft does incredibly well on Trinity. While the improvement over Llano is only 15%, the advantage over Ivy Bridge is tremendous.
Civilization V
Our final game, Civilization V, gives us an interesting look at things that other RTSes cannot match, with a much weaker focus on shading in the game world, and a much greater focus on creating the geometry needed to bring such a world to life. In doing so it uses a slew of DirectX 11 technologies, including tessellation for said geometry, driver command lists for reducing CPU overhead, and compute shaders for on-the-fly texture decompression. There are other games that are more stressful overall, but this is likely the game most stressing of DX11 performance in particular.
Civilization V shows some of the mildest gains in all of our tests vs. Llano. The 5800K/7660D manage to outperform Llano by only 8 -11% depending on the test. The advantage over Intel is huge of course.

ananduser - Thursday, September 27, 2012 - linkARS ? Please... it's insulting to Anand to compare it to Ars. You're also insulting of Tom's. Techreport is better than them all as they've "innovated" in the benchmark area via microstuttering tests. You should read more and stop being so high strung about your fav sites. Reply
coder543 - Thursday, September 27, 2012 - linkdon't know what side of the Internet you're from, but Ars Technica has some of the highest quality reviews of anywhere on the net. Anandtech is good, but they're heavily biased against both Linux and OpenGL, so that bothers me about them.
Please, show me some of this low quality Ars material you speak of. I would also have you note that Ars and Techreport cross-post on occasion... so, praising one and not the other is a strange concept.
Tom's does *okay* reviews... but compared to Anandtech, their stuff is usually lacking. Reply
ananduser - Thursday, September 27, 2012 - linkOh please...Ars only knows mainstream. They cite more than they review. The only exception is Siracusa's yearly 100 pages OSX review which every Apple fan reads religiously and extensive Apple related coverage. Anand's, Tom's and Techreport are in a league of their own. Techreport recently impressed me with their "into the second" approach to benchmarking. Reply
Wolfpup - Friday, September 28, 2012 - linkBiased against Linux and OpenGL? How so? There's not much stuff USING OpenGL anymore, but that doesn't mean they're biased, and most people, even enthusiasts like most people here, aren't running Linux, sooo again doesn't mean they're baised against it. Reply
rarson - Wednesday, October 03, 2012 - linkArs Technica is a freaking joke in everything that they do. Reply
medi01 - Thursday, September 27, 2012 - linkNo other site uses 1000 Watt power supplies when testing HTPC CPUs either.... Reply
damianrobertjones - Thursday, September 27, 2012 - link...Unless it's Apple hardware Reply
mattlach - Thursday, September 27, 2012 - linkI don't trust Tom's Hardware as far as I can throw them.
After they were caught taking kick backs from hardware vendors for better reviews, and caught stealing content for their articles from other review sites, anyone who still reads that website is either a moron or ignorant.
Tomshardware wasn't bad back when Tom Pabst still ran it in the late 90s, but these days its a shell of its former self and completely and totally unreliable.
For me it's all HardOCP and Anandtech. Reply
Homeles - Thursday, September 27, 2012 - linkYou're going to have a very biased view of hardware if you only check two sources. I personally don't care for [H]ardOCP (I don't like their site design and the way they present their data), but AnandTech does try to keep things objective.
Still, you can't pretend that AT is infallible and 100% trustworthy. If you do, then you deserve to be misled.
Like all media, it's best to check as many sources as possible before developing an opinion of something. Reply
mikato - Monday, October 01, 2012 - linkPlease link for the kickbacks! After reading this, I just searched Google for "tom's hardware kickbacks" and your comment was 3rd and the most relevant, lol. Need the info. Reply

MV-AR: GAUSS module to calculate three multivariate tests for autocorrelation in VAR model
This GAUSS module implements three multivariate tests for autocorrelation-namely multivariate the LM test, the multivariate F-test and the multivariate portmanteau test-in the VAR model. The output of the module is the corresponding p-value of each test for each autocorrelation order. Among these tests, the modified LM test suggested by Hatemi-J (2004) has the best performance. The modification is based on an Edgeworth expansion. For technical description see Hatemi-J A. (2004) Multivariate tests for autocorrelation in the stable and unstable VAR models, Economic Modelling, 21, 661-683.

From Goblin Horde Green
Waiting, we go into a cafe and order coffee. A woman is weeping over her potato pancakes. I offer her some potato pancake topping I've found in my coat pocket. She perks up. As she tries it her eyes bulge. 'OH MY GOD!' she shouts, then starts to convulse. 'Are you... okay?' I ask, slightly worried. 'That's the best thing I've EVER eaten!' she shudders and spoons more greedily into her mouth. She's just orgasmed, I realise. There's a crowd now. The owner of the cafe leans over to me and whispers in my ear, 'Can you make me some more of that?'

Ok so I was really studying hard on a science unit test and I was frantic. The teacher told what major things were on the test. When I was in the library studying, my friend helped me and told me things I should study since she already had the test. When I took the tst, I did really well at it. Now looking back, did I cheat by obtaining her help on what to study for?

even though here in san francisco we're starting to enjoy our indian summer, in the rest of the states, and in many other countries, it's beginning to look a lot like fall. it's time to get out our favorite blankets and throws and snuggle up on those chilly afternoons reading, or evenings chatting by the fire. i have quite a large stash of blankets myself — one might call it a bit of an addiction. i have many vintage blankets i've thrifted over the years from flea markets and etsy, and a few other favorite fuzzy warm ones with a more modern twist — stacked together they make for a colorful collection atop my armoire and easily accessible when the evening chill sets in. here's a few others i love.
i might do many improper and unseemly things just to get my hands on this Leonor Crochet Blanket by Miga de Pan, Made by hand in Argentina, at couverture and the garbstore.
this is a really pretty striped BOLIVIAN FRASADA WOOL blanket from mille.
pink pom pom throw from hattan home, and anthropologie's black & white dotto sweater throw.
ferm living's new squares blanket is a modern beauty! and a super sweet half moon blanket from poketo. made for kids, but i don't see why grown-ups can't have one, too.
donna wilson's pretty pink house throw, and her wooly wood throw. serena & lily's charcoal and dusty lilac and gray throw.

Picture: Lily Allen leaving the Box club at 4am with cigarette ash on the back of her jacket London, England - 04.05.12
British pop star Lily Allen will never to move to the U.S. - because Americans are too vain.
The 22-year-old singer admits she wouldn't like to follow in the footsteps of fellow Brits Robbie Williams and Victoria Beckham and move to Los Angeles - even if she was allowed into the country.
She says, "I can't even get into America now but I wouldn't want to anyway.
"It's all about aesthetics over there and that isn't really what life is all about. L.A.'s just weird, it's chaotic but flat - a bit like purgatory."
The star missed the MTV Video Music awards in Las Vegas last month (Sep07) because U.S. officials withdrew her work permit following an alleged assault on a photographer outside a London nightclub earlier this year (07).

Two days after ESPNcricinfo published a critique of USA Cricket Association by USYCA's president Jamie Harrison, the American Cricket Federation raised further questions in a press release that is now circulating widely across USA's leagues.

Two days after ESPNcricinfo published a critique of USA Cricket Association by USYCA's president Jamie Harrison, the American Cricket Federation raised further questions in a press release that is now circulating widely across USA's leagues.
USACA has "proven itself incapable of establishing cricket as an American sport," Harrison is quoted as saying in the article. Harrison, whose efforts to promote cricket among American youth have won him the top prize from ICC Americas in 2010, was stinging in his criticism of the status quo.
"Rather than prop up a dysfunctional, unpopular body saddled with crushing debt that cannot act in the best interests of American cricket, the ICC should do the right thing and let us begin again, and if the ICC won't get on the right side of the debate, then the USA should just do it without them.
In response, both ICC and USACA admitted to problems but maintained that cricket was heading in a new direction. Tim Anderson, ICC's Global Development Manager, told ESPNcricinfo that USACA was now putting in place the changes required to progress. "To the USACA Board's credit, it has recognised that change is needed for the game to move forward more purposefully, and over the past year this has led to the appointment of a new CEO, the implementation of an independent governance review and the development of a new strategy and staffing structure that has a focus on both improving performance and growing participation. For his part, Darren Beazley, CEO of USACA, said a lot of progress had been made over the last six months.
American Cricket Federation, an organization that counts among its members several leagues that were disenfranchised by USACA, asked more questions in a press release issued on August 30th. "While commending the article for reading by all U.S. cricketers, the ACF prefers to look forward rather than adding its comments on a universally accepted and historic perspective," the ACF release noted, adding that "The formation of the ACF itself was motivated by similar terminal frustration."
Among the questions raised by ACF's Steering Committee:
The media release also noted that the ACF 2013 Annual National Inter-League T20 Tournament would be held in Orlando, Florida, October 12-14, 2013. The tournament will be hosted by the Florida Cricket Conference and played at Silver Star Park and Eagles Nest Park in West Orlando, Fl.
The organization also said that Elections would be held for Board and Advisory & Judiciary Committee in December, 2013 after which the currently governing Steering Committee will disband en bloc. All league, club and individual members of good standing will be entitled to nominate candidates and vote. ACF noted that a cut-off date for new members to receive a voting privilege will be announced shortly as mandated by audit and voter publication provisions under the ACF Constitution.

The GPL has held up in every single court case against violators in the US and Germany. (I don't know what the situation is like in other countries. It may differ there.)
(In most every case, the defendant demurs and settles before the case is actually tried before court. That's probably not because they're afraid that the GPL may be deemed invalid.)
By disputed I didn't mean "legally" disputed, and being a non-native English speaker I may have misunderstood it. By disputed I meant that it is:
A certain Israeli BSD developer noted that sites like gpl-violations.org are "the anti-thesis of

Right, then "disputed" was the wrong word. "Controversial" would have been a much better choice.
Fair enough. "Controversial" it is. I'm pretty sure I heard "disputed" used for non-legal things, but in this context it might be misleading.
programmers should just focus on writing good code, and making sure their software is widely used and supported, rather than pursuing people who supposedly violate it.
See, that's an excellent demonstration of your point that nobody really understands licences. (By the same token I cannot in good consciousness claim that I understand them; the most I can say is that I have identified more errors in my reasoning than many non-lawyer type people.)
Well, I read the MIT Licence and understood everything there. Then I realised sub-license means something a bit different than what I thought. I also read the SleepyCat (now part of Oracle) BerkeleyDB licence and it was pretty obvious and easy to understand. It is a GPL-like licence, but from what I understood somewhat more liberal in allowing even non-GPL-compatible, and proprietary source to link against it.
I read the GPLv2 one day and didn't understand most of it. My (superficial I am sure) understanding of the GPLv2 is by reading what educated people said about it and judging for myself what sounds more logical.
Again, like I wanted to say, some licences can be interpreted in several different ways by the Law. But one doesn't have to be a lawyer specialising in copyright law to be able to have a more superficial understanding of what a licence entails. It helps though.
The core thing to understand with licences is that the licence never affects the copyright holder. The copyright holder themself can do whatever they damn well please. What the licence regulates is who has what rights when the work has been distributed by one third party to another.
In this exchange, the GPL favours the recipient. The MITL favours the distributor.
Not sure I agree with it. Sometimes people can play different roles.
That's it. Neither licence is more or less free; both give one party power over the other, they just differ in which party gets the preferential treatment.
Also, to come back to this point:
programmers should just focus on writing good code
This combines at least two fallacious ideas. One of them is that all the skill necessary to drive a software project to success is programming aptitude. (Not true; thus, the fact that some project devotes effort to track down GPL violators does not at all imply diminished effort in programming.) Another is that time is fungible, ie. time you spend watching TV, say, is interchangeable with time you spend programming. (Not true; just because a programmer devoted some of his time doing something other than programming doesn't mean he could equally well have been coding in the same time.)
I see how you can deduce that I meant that from what I said, and I therefore apologise. However, I'm well aware of both of these fallacies and that wasn't my intention. What I meant to say was something along the lines of Linus Torvalds' "Show me the Code!". I.e: do whatever you can do to best promote your software and make it of better value to the users, popular, etc. In my opinion, going after violators of the licence legally is an obstacle to this. That's because legal processes are time-consuming, money-consuming, repute-destroying, and leave a bad taste in your mouth (to say nothing of the fact that people and organisations may be too quick to sue). Even if you win, you probably have lost a friend, a customer, your reputation, etc. Don't go there unless you have to.
I believe (and you can disagree with me) that by using BSD/PD-like licences for my software, I am best making sure that I have the fewest worries about how my software is going to be abused, because I promise myself that there's very little chance of it to be abused. And this makes me happier, keeps me out of as much legal trouble as possible (whoever initiated it), and gives me much more time to do other things. If Microsoft or SCO or Satan himself wants to use my code in his "proprietary" product, or modify it to suit his needs, that's fine by me. That's because it's also fine if Debian, Red Hat, NASA or my best friend will do it.
What I want to say is that sometimes spending time on something does not come at the exchange of something else. This is one reason why a common argument that says that porting software to Windows is bad because it wastes time is wrong. But legal hassles are a nice way to waste and accumulate many resources that are wrong.
I can respect companies and people who distribute GPLed products with an optional commercial exemptions (e.g: SleepyCat BerkeleyDB, TrollTech's Qt, etc.). However, if I were them I wouldn't waste too much time trying to hunt them because they probably wouldn't have become paying customers anyway [berlios.de].
The fact that bsd-violations.org does not exist may possibly imply that BSD people care more about getting good code into widespread use, but it certainly does imply that by the very nature of their licence they care less about the power of the recipient of their software – to a first approximation, anyway. It can be argued whether this ultimately ends up benefiting said recipient more, or not.
It probably should better be bsdl-violations.org for BSD Licence. I hate grouping the BSD people together with their licence and with calling their anti-thesis the GNU/Linux/GPL camp. The BSD developer I paraphrased kept making this mistake, and I don't want to repeat it. But back to our subject.
You are right that it may not be indicative of whether it benefits or harms them. The How to become a Hacker howto [catb.org], can be interpreted to mean that both the GPL is better and the BSD or the LGPL are better. ESR later voiced an opinion against continuing to use the GPL, saying it was no longer necessary, and basically too much trouble. At Raymond's defense I should say that he still didn't try to spread misleading information about the GPL.
But in any case, as far as I can see, it really is not possible to declare either licence the better one. There is a fundamental polarity that cannot be resolved, and the two philosophies, BSD vs FSF, merely fall on either side of it. (This is why I currently like the LGPL best; it attempts to straddle the divide.)
The LGPL is not too bad a licence. You're probably safer with LGPLv2 and above, because the LGPLv3 is not GPLv2 compatible. (%-)). I think it makes sense for Perl modules too, if you don't intend the module to be integrated into the perl5 core. I was told the Artistic licence (or at least the Artistic 2.0) makes even more sense for Perl, but thinking about it makes my head spin.
In any case, I am a firm believer in free choice and a "Do and Let Do" attitude. If you want to publish your own silly Ozy and Millie [ozyandmillie.org] comics fetcher under the Microsoft Vista EULA then all the power to you. I'll stay a clear mile away from this script, but someone may find it useful.
I don't think developing or distributing proprietary software is immoral or unethical or whatever like the FSF thinks. Since the BitKeeper saga, where I got personally burnt, I've become more suspicious of most classic non-free software, but I'm still using it as long as I try not to depend on it. (Adobe Flash being a notable exception). But I still see myself as a developer and advocate of free software because there are enough other ways I can make money from my software (assuming I want to) besides restricting its licence by one iota more than the MIT X11 Licence. That is assuming I actually do, which I don't see as a necessity.

GAINESVILLE - Gainesville children came to see Santa arrive in downtown Gainesville while their thrifty parents came looking for bargains during the annual 'Jingle Mingle' on the Square Thursday afternoon.
The Voices of North Georgia was one of the music groups that helped get everyone into the spirit. Santa arrived on a fire engine and held court on the square.
Mary Beth Alexander brought her sons, three year old Cash, and one year Davis, to meet Saint Nick. They were first in line and it was the first time for little Davis.
Mom said Christmas is on a budget this year.
"We're thrifty," she said. "We'll be looking for sales, we have a budget and we save all through the year."
Children also had pictures taken with Santa and the young and 'young at heart' rode the Kiddie Train from Dahlonega.
There was a kid's candy station at Cozy Corner and holiday surprises throughout the evening, and since Gainesville is the Poultry Capitol of the World it was only fitting to hold the Lighting of the Great Chicken above Main Street Market at 7:00 pm. Jingle Mingle also served as the monthly Business After Hours event for the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce.
Merchants all around the square opened their doors and invited the shoppers inside, enticing them with discounts and treats. Linda Orenstein at Gem Jewelry said 'Jingle Mingle' is held to remind shoppers downtown has a lot to offer; that's especially important in this year of economic uncertainty.
"People have been buying what they absolutely have to," she said. "Life goes on, however, and we hope they will decide to go out and spend money."
The National Retail Federation predicts seasonal sales to increase four percent this year.

Casey Dixson's review published on Letterboxd :
another Marvel film. rather, an extension of the first one. yet again, Tony Stark's villain uses his own tech against him. Iron Monger in the first one? no thanks. Whiplash in the sequel? fuck. is the villain in 3 going to be Crimson Dynamo? i'd rather have M.O.D.O.K. or Mandarin, or Fin Fang Foom and i think those would be horribly done in the Marvel film universe setting. don't get me wrong, pretty great performances all around (but recasting Rhodey when he's actually utilized more this go round? why even bother?) there are some decent moments but the story is just really not held together that well.

One of the most inspiring stories in Texas Longhorns football history is that of the Freddie Steinmark, and soon, fans will be able to see his story of determination and courage on the big screen.
On December 6, 1969, the Longhorns were celebrating their come-from-behind to defeat the Arkansas Razorbacks in a game that is now referred to as "The Big Shootout" and "The Game of the Century," leading to the Longhorns' third national championship.
The celebration, however, wouldn't last long Freddie Steinmark and his Texas teammates.
Less than a week later, the junior starting safety was diagnosed with a cancerous bone tumor, which forced doctors to amputate his leg at the hip.
A week after the amputation, Steinmark returned, this time watching from the sidelines as his Longhorns defeated the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the 1970 Cotton Bowl.
After the game, his teammates and head-coach Darrell K. Royal rallied around Steinmark, honoring him with the game ball.
Steinmark's battle with the cruel disease continued throughout the fall, but he remained with his team after being named an assistant coach for the Longhorns during his senior season.
Sadly, the cancer eventually spread throughout his body, and despite Steinmark's strong will and determination, he would lose his battle with the disease on June 6, 1971.
Today, on the 41st anniversary of his death, his family has announced that Steinmark's story of courage will finally be commemorated on film.
The movie, which will be produced by Nine-Layer Productions in Los Angeles, will even include actual footage of Steinmark himself singing "The Eyes of Texas."
The screenplay will be written by Bower Yousee, a childhood friend and teammate of the Texas icon.
Today, Steinmark remains a symbol of courage, strength, and hope for the Longhorn nation. When his picture is shown on the big screen before football games, a load roar envelops the crowd, so many years later.
And now, the eyes of not only Texas, but the eyes of the nation will be inspired by this Longhorn legend.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Jos. A. Bank Clothiers (JOSB) may have pulled its bid to acquire Men's Wearhouse (MW) but one activist investor continues to argues that clothing retailer should still consider a buyout.
Eminence Capital, the owner of 9.8% of Men's Wearhouse common stock and its largest shareholder, is apparently angry that the men's specialty-clothing retailer failed to engage in discussions with its largest competitor.
"Eminence Capital believes that by allowing yesterday's deadline to expire, the board has confirmed that it is not committed to exercising its basic fiduciary duties to shareholders and is satisfied with the status quo," it said in a release on Friday.
Shares of Men's Wearhouse was gaining 0.7% to $46.44 while Jos. A. Bank was adding 0.6% to $50.62.
The investor is seeking to call a special meeting with Men's Wearhouse shareholders in order to amend the company's bylaws so it can replace board members and "allow shareholders to remove directors without cause and increase board accountability," Eminence Capital said. The investor has filed a preliminary solicitation statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to Eminence Capital, Texas law allows for a special meeting to be called by shareholders of at least 10% of all of the shares of Men's Wearhouse entitled to vote at the special meeting. Men's Wearhouse is based in Houston.
"In light of the board's actions, we are forced to launch this initiative that will give shareholders the opportunity to effect important corporate governance changes at Men's Wearhouse," Eminence Capital CEO Ricky Sandler said in a statement.
"We continue to encourage the board to take immediate steps to complete its review of strategic options, including a merger with JOSB, that was disclosed in our November 12 letter," Sandler said. "If the board fails to do so, our special meeting initiative will give shareholders the tools to hold the board accountable for its failed leadership."
As expected, Jos. A. Bank terminated its all-cash offer on Thursday for Men's Wearhouse after it refused to engage in discussions with the Hampstead, Md.-based company and denied it access to non-public financial information.

Im wondering if anyone here has experience with lotus birth?
I'm considering it, but I really want to allow my baby to do the breast crawl and do laid back nursing as much as possible. Will this be difficult with the cord **** intact?
Thank you!!!
Fledgling midwife on hiatus, Wife to B, mama to C (c/s 12/04) and S (12/07), m/c (3/12) and expecting another bean 6/13 .
I've seen a few lotus births as a midwifery student. In terms of initial latch and/or breast crawl, some of it depends on how long the cord is and how quickly the placenta separates. Usually it's no problem, but occasionally the cord is short and the baby can't reach the breast until the placenta is out. The breast crawl, if done as seen in the videos you can access online, with no help from anyone, takes around 40 minutes to complete. I find that it's actually fairly unnatural to not touch your baby or help them in their efforts to find the breast. Mothers typically work with their babies instinctively to help them to the right general area and then the baby does the actually latching-on. Once the placenta is out, you package it up with herbs and in cloth diapers and you just tote it around with the baby. It shouldn't interfere with nursing at all other than the cord can feel cold and clammy, which squicks some people out.
This was what I wanted to say. I think the breast crawl is amazing and beautiful but I see it more as a marvel of nature but not something I'd choose to do. It seems like torturous somehow to make a newborn who just did all the work of labor have to try to do that.
I agree! While I think it's an amazing thing to watch I don't think I could bear to watch them work that hard.
Mama to DS (6/07) , DD (6/09) , and DD (07/12) ..
births is pretty high for first latch. So many moms have trouble
with the latching on at first or just in general. I've read that latching
doesn't have to be so hard and require so much how to info. if
we just let our babies self attach as they were designed to do.
I also agree about watching them work so hard, but I think it would
also be instinct on our part to help the baby somewhat during the
whole process. Who knows how I'll really handle that situation
when I get there, but I'd like to try:). As an extension of the breast
crawl, there is a position called Laid Back nursing in my LLLI
breastfeeding book which involves being in a comfortable
reclined position, allowing the newborn/infant to lie on you and self
attach. This is something you can do ongoing with your baby
even after the first nursing. Anyway it all makes sense to me,
I'm going to give it a try:). Thankyou all for your replies!!! Have
a wonderful day:)
I don't think there's anything wrong with trying if you're heart's set on it, but if, in the moment, you want to reach down and grab that baby, do it! I think babies being forced to the breast can get in the way of a latch but it sounds like you're already mindful of that and wouldn't do it. Let the baby "be" and explore; that's fine.
Fledgling midwife on hiatus, Wife to B, mama to C (c/s 12/04) and S (12/07), m/c (3/12) and expecting another bean 6/13 .
I agree with you that self-attachment is a wonderful idea. However, I see that as being different from the "breast crawl", which I envision as the baby literally crawling up the mother's belly from the abdomen to the breast, as seen in the breast crawl videos. That's the process I was describing as taking a long time and being fairly unnatural for the mother to just sit there inert and watch her baby make its way to the breast for so long. I think the more typical self-attachment, with mom holding the baby, guiding its head to the general area of the nipple and then allowing the baby to take the lead with the latching-on is a great idea. I think maybe we're just talking about two different things when we say "breast crawl".
I think she knows what it is but I don't agree about having the baby do it. I understand why she might think it's great but I see it as more of a survival thing.
Yeah, the only way any primate baby would have to crawl to the breast on its own would be if the mother was completely incapacitated via being busy hemmoraging or having stroked out from eclampsia. If you see any of our primate relations give birth, they all instinctively catch the baby and lift it up into their arms. We're not marsupials, and our babies may be *able* to hitch themselves to the nipple, but I feel that denying the urge to pick up and touch your baby in order to test its post-birth instincts is pretty far from "natural."
(side note: I never found the "laid back nursing" position particularly natural either. My breasts drop down into my armpits in that position, making it uncomfortable for me and difficult for baby to latch without awkward neck torquing.)
savithny, 42 year old moderate mom to DS Primo (age 12) and DD Secunda (age 9).
Hi again!
I really appreciate all the feedback!
All this info. really makes me think. It does make
sense about the breast crawl being survival
instinct. Its true we can't compare ourselves with other
species who cannot pick up there babies with their
hands. Good point! I think self attachment to a certain extent
Still makes sense to a degree because of all the
success stories I've heard compare with a lot of
the "how to" advice that still seems to not work
for some people. Thanks again and keep the feedback

ICYMI: All the brands mentioned on Sex and the City, from 7-Eleven to Zip drive
Consider this your Monday mid-afternoon pick me up. ICYMI, somebody put together a video of all the brands mentioned on Sex and the City. Check out the video over at Who What Wear. It's just over nine minutes long (and helpfully, in alphabetical order) and completely ridiculous.
It's also surprising. There are the usual suspects: Barneys, Chanel, Fendi, Manolo, Tiffany, etc. But there's also more than a few mentions of stuff like Band-Aid, BBC America and ESPN.
And, of course, Post-it. Sorry Berger, you're still not forgiven.

By Varietal
The aromatic flavors of the Yucatan were introduced to me by Diana. I have put together ingredients and techniques that truly complement each other and put a new twist on the American burger.
When I think of France I think of delicious French onion soup, with the flavors of carmelized onions in a rich beef broth topped with a slice of French bread covered with melted cheese.
The ingredients say it all! Country Ham, Vidalia Onions, Mustard Greens and Coca-Cola...can you get any more southern?
This is a great local American burger because it incorporates many of the great products specific to the Midwest, and is a hearty burger that fits the food culture of the region.
My many years spent as an artist and art teacher inspired this burger which blends the sweet and the savory flavors of French cuisine.
I like to use all local ingredients to keep the burgers fresh. There is nothing better than sitting out on the deck mid-autumn as the leaves are changing, with the cool crisp air on your face.
Recently I started making chutneys to go with different meat dishes. I was inspired by my daughter who makes a great Autumn chutney.
I love the taste of hickory smoke. Where there is good smoke, there is good BBQ. There is nothing like the smell of wood burning for hours in someone's backyard.
Every year I make a nice Waldorf salad to go with holiday dinners in place of a heavier fruit salad.
What inspired me for this burger was my recent agony of defeat in a local cooking contest, just like the old ABC Wide World of Sports intro. I lost again but won the "people's choice" award.
This is a tweaked version of a recipe I've been making for a few years. I was inspired by a spicy tuna sushi roll with wasabi mayo and tried to translate the flavors into mini-burger or slider.

MOORE, (Dr.) Edmund, (deceased), a pioneer physician and surgeon of Morgan County, was born in Elphin, County Roscommon, Ireland, May 26, 1798, a son of Lewis and Ellen (Lockwood) Moore. The paternal ancestry of the family is Scotch-Irish. Dr. Moore's mother was a descendant of the historic Shannon family, and had two brothers who attained great distinction in British military and naval affairs. One of these, a Lieutenant under Nelson, commanded a ship at the battle of the Nile, and also fought at the battle of Copenhagen and at Trafalgar, where Nelson was killed. He died at the Soldiers' Home at Greenwich. Another brother, who became a General in the British army, was in the East India service for many years, and died while in the East, the husband of an East Indian princess.
When Edmund Moore was an infant in arms, his parents came to the United States, locating temporarily at Frankfort , Ky. Soon afterward they removed to Florida, then a Spanish colony, and subsequently to Louisiana, then under French dominion, remaining about five years in the two provinces. Returning to Bloomfield, Nelson County, Ky., the elder Moore took up a tract of land and spent the remainder of his life there. There Edmund Moore was also reared and educated. After reading medicine under the supervision of Dr. Bemis at Bardstown, Ky., and attending lectures at Louisville, he began practice under a State license at Rockport, Ind., remaining there until his removal to Morgan County, Ill., in 1827. Here he was examined and licensed by the State of Illinois. Upon arriving in Morgan County he purchased a tract of land located about one mile east of the farm now owned by George W. Moore, his son, erected a cabin, and occupied that place about six years, practicing his profession and improving his farm. In 1833 he located on Section 29, of the same township, where he spent the balance of his life, dying there May 29, 1877.
Dr. Moore was a splendid specimen of manhood, mentally and physically. He typified the "doctor of the old school," immortalized by Ian MacLaren, the Scot novelist; for, during the half century of his residence in Morgan County, he was called upon to perform a vast amount of professional work for which he expected and received no remuneration. His practice necessitated very extensive rides throughout the surrounding country, and his trips to relieve suffering humanity were frequently attended by great personal risk, through exposure to the elements in a wild and sparsely settled country. Most of his early practice was accomplished on horseback, with the old-fashioned saddlebags. For many years there were no other physicians in his neighborhood, and it was not infrequently the case that he was called to ride as far south as Edwardsville. Many of his rides covered a distance of sixty miles or more from his home. He became an acknowledged expert in the diagnosis and treatment of the fevers and other diseases peculiar to the Illinois and Mississippi valleys. During the Black Hawk War he was Surgeon of the Third Regiment of Illinois troops, which rendezvoused but was not called into active service. During the War of 1812 he had endeavored to enlist for the service under General Harrison in the Canadian campaign, but was not accepted on account of his delicate health.
Dr. Moore was well acquainted with Abraham Lincoln as a boy and man. While practicing his profession in Spencer County, Ind., he was frequently called upon to attend the Lincoln family, but lost sight of the future President after his removal to Morgan County. After Lincoln's election to Congress, the two men met one day on the streets of Jacksonville, when the former, extending his hand to Dr. Moore, asked him if he did not remember his former patient. The Doctor finally recognized him and in later years reverted to the incident with feelings of great pleasure.
Though deeply interested in public matters, the only office which Dr. Moore ever consented to fill was that of Township Treasurer of School funds. A Whig in early life, he became a Republican upon the founding of that party, voting for John C. Fremont for the Presidency. In religion, stanchly devoted to Presbyterianism, he served as an Elder in the Pisgah Presbyterian Church for about thirty years.
Dr. Moore was married November 30, 1823, to Mary O'Neal, who was born near Bardstown, Ky., May 18, 1796, a daughter of Bryant and Ann (Cotton) O'Neal. Her father was born in Ireland, accompanied his parents to Virginia, was reared in that colony, and afterward removed to Kentucky. He served in the Revolutionary War, and for his patriotism and service, received from Patrick Henry, then Governor of Virginia (which included the territory now embraced within the limits of Kentucky), title to a tract of valuable land near Bardstown, Ky. Bryant O'Neal fought under St. Clair when the latter was defeated by the Indians in the Ohio campaign, and also under General Wayne at the battle of Fallen Timbers, near Fort Wayne. His son, Thomas, the only brother of Mary O'Neal, saw valiant service in the War of 1812. He fought throughout Harrison's campaign, helped to defeat the British forces at the battle of the Thames where Proctor surrendered and Tecumseh was killed, and personally assisted in the capture of the noted British General. He held a commission as Sergeant-Major in a regiment of dragoons. It is worthy of note that Ann Cotton O'Neal was an eye-witness to a battle between the British and Continental forces during the Revolution, which occurred in her father's wheat field in Fairfax County, Va.
A romantic incident of the Revolutionary period is related by George W. Moore, son of Dr. Moore, and is here preserved for the first time in print. During an engagement between the British and Colonial troops near the home of the Cotton and O'Neal families in Fairfax County, Va., a British soldier who had received a serious bullet wound in the abdomen dragged himself to the Cotton home and asked for a drink of milk. This was furnished to him by Mrs. Cotton, who invited the sufferer into the house that he might receive the care and treatment necessary to his recovery. The milk that he drank passed from his digestive organs through the wound, soothing it and eventually curing him. He remained at the Cotton home, and ultimately transferred his allegiance to the Patriot cause.
