Ah, thought I'd find an Eat pray Love thread here.
Much to my surprise, I loved it. Mostly because it borught me back to my own spiritual practice and reminded me to trust in the universe. I cried when I finished it, then I was in need of another good book to keep me company. Found Anne Lamott's Traveling Mercies which was a good following book...but now what? What have you guys enjoyed reading afterwards? I'm looking for non fiction...

The second-generation iPod Classic adds a new Genius playlist feature to its time-tested combination of music, video, podcast, audiobook, and photo playback.
EQ control is limited; some older iPod video accessories may not be compatible; the plastic screen is susceptible to scratching; users are required to use the latest version of iTunes, which may not work on some older computer systems.
The iPod Classic refines the formula that put the iPod on the map. Few can match its combination of storage capacity, battery life, and intuitive user interface.

I finally took the plunge to purchase an iPod Classic 160GB model after years of putting it off. I've had a good deal of mp3 players (especially grey market or international models) so there were features I had grown accustomed to that had me hesitating. I wanted large capacity. I like to have all my music (or most of it) wherever I go. I wanted a simple interface. Decent sound is important but the music I listen to isn't "designed" for the most pleasant of auditory experiences. The iPod has all of these features. It's exactly what I need. Not exactly what I want but that's life. What could make it better? For one, it should act exactly like a hard drive. 160GB in my pocket should be more useful than just a music player which also digresses into another possible feature: the ability to upgrade the drive itself. I knew this ahead of time when I purchased the player but it's a point that needs to be made. Proprietary formats/designs only hinder customers. Apple, for all that it has done to make computing 'easier' for mass market consumers, continues to try and control the way they use their products. Another point on that, music organization on the iPod and in iTunes is definitely not as flexible as I'd like. I'm a nerd when it comes to my mp3s. I want them organized in such a manner that there is a minimal amount of folders with the maximum amount of organization. Creating a folder for every single artist (regardless of how many songs of theirs I have) only makes for lengthy searches through the menu. I'm happy with the way the iPod performs according to Apple's design. There's nothing here that says poor manufacturing or hurried design. I just know that it could be better.
I love that the 120GB iPod can fit oodles of songs. I have a large CD collection and thought that I'd have to select which songs to download onto the iPod. Not so. This particular model with 120GB can probably store up to 2000 CDs worth of songs. That's HUGE! The iPod is easy to use and the more I use it the more adept I become at operating it. I get frustrated at times trying to dial in a specific artist from the long list of artists I have uploaded, but with such a simple operating wheel, it is a minor drawback compared to the simplicity of the user interface. The iPod has good quality of sound. I hook it up to my home stereo and as long as the volume is not 100%, I cannot detect any distortion. The distortion comes from any sub par recordings.
Downfalls: the only way to charge the battery is to be connected to the computer. This is irritating having to use an active computer to charge it, though the battery is good for maybe 20+ hours of life. Maybe other sold-separately devices like iHome can charge the battery--dunno, I don't have one. Next, the owner is tied to iTunes and Apple software. The operator will have to download 100 megs worth of iPod operating system in order to even activate the iPod for the first time. The good thing is you do not have to pay for iTunes unless you wish to buy music off of them. Any music works--I use Rhapsody and Wal-Mart downloaded music (mpeg) and these songs work perfectly on it.
As long as you have a computer and love music, this device is worth having. I use it for home use as well as in my car and at work. It only needs a cable to connect to other devices (Radio Shack can help--or an eBay auction for a iPod cable). I never thought about owning one of these gadgets but with the reasonable price offered by eBay, I thought, "what the hey." Now I'm addicted. It just will take days to load all of my CDs onto this handy little device. Needless to say this takes a lot of time to do. But once the music is on the iPod, you're set.
I've had this for a couple weeks now and I really do love it. The Genius feature is fantastic and fun and gives me new stuff to listen to from my library just by picking a song I'm in the mood to listen to. Just make sure you connect your ipod to your computer because you have to turn Genius on through iTunes for your ipod before you can use it.
The only downside to this ipod is the sound quality is noticeably flatter than any other mp3 player I have ever had. I'm not saying the sound quality is bad, it's just as full and rich as my old Zune or Zen were. It's a little disappointing and I'm hoping they do something to fix it. I've tried using the equalizer but it doesn't really help much. This heard both through my headphones and my car stereo so I know it's not just a problem with my listening device.
Overall it's a great player and the storage capacity alone is a great reason to buy it. Just be forewarned that the music quality may not be up to par.
I love my ipod, but can only sync a few GB at a time. Apple tells me it is because I use a pc and the usb port cannot handle the large data transfers. If I had a mac this would not be a problem. I took the ipod to the apple store, they tested it and said it was fine and must be my computer. We have 3 ipods in our family and all sync well accept for this one. My other ipod is a 30GB and can sync around 25GB at one time no problem. On the 120GB I can only sync about 3GB at a time. Very Annoying!
One word - Capacity! If you have a lot of songs/videos/movies from iTunes, you won't be dissatisfied. Has the "classic" click wheel. I love it. Screen has good resolution and size for movies, and videos. I listen to music mostly, but long travel distances, allow to me watch and listen. I placed it in a switcheasy case immediately. This is also a very good case for looks, style and use.
There are also games and audio books that can be added for your pleasure. I have one book downloaded. No problems reading from the screen, for me. Other apps included are: calendar, contact list, alarms, clock, stop watch and 3 games.
One down side for me. It is heavy. You will feel it in your jacket or pants pockets.
Obviously there is no touch screen, so if this is your need, you'll want to get an iPod touch. It will NOT have the capacity though! Your choice...

A critical component of managing your credit is monitoring changes to your credit reports and credit scores over time with credit monitoring. It's a good idea to sign up for a credit monitoring service that tracks all 3 of your credit reports on a daily basis and notifies you of changes on your credit report while also providing you with all 3 of your credit scores. Since you can get notified any time a new account is opened in your name, some consumers use credit monitoring as a form of identity theft protection. In addition, our credit monitoring service will notify you of derogatory reports from creditors. Derogatory reports can often hurt a credit score for years which is why tracking them is very important to building and maintaining a good credit score.
Nobody wants to be the victim of identity theft. Having your personal financial data compromised can be one of the most stressful predicaments you'll face in life....read more
It's no secret.
Increasingly, U.S. consumers are turning to credit monitoring services to help build a firewall between themselves and financial predators – especially identity thieves.
That's a tall order. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has called identity theft one of the biggest consumer complaints over the last decade.
How can credit monitoring help?
Right off the bat, it can keep those identity thieves at arms length. A consumer's worst financial nightmare (at least one of them) is having a stranger steal and assume your financial identity. That could lead to severe financial damage to your credit reports and your credit scores. By monitoring the your credit reports at the major credit reporting agencies, a credit monitoring service can closely track any changes to your data and notify you immediately if there has been a change or security breach. Such services also offer features that will alert law enforcement agencies, key financial institutions (so you can freeze your credit), and even offer insurance against identity theft for a few dollars a month.
That's not all. A credit monitoring service helps you keep on top of one of the most dynamic forces in your life – your credit. By and large, your credit and your credit score change on whenever new information is reported in your credit reports, so it's imperative that you know why your credit profile changes and what factors contributed to those changes. A good credit monitoring service can track your credit reports and scores, even on a daily basis, thus keeping you apprised of where you stand credit- and debt-wise.
A credit monitoring service can also help identify mistakes on your credit reports, primarily from creditors and lenders who report incorrect financial information. Fixing such mistakes (which credit monitoring services can also help you with) can keep your credit scores in good health, and your financial reputation in good standing.
For a dollar a day – or even less – consumers can gain some peace of mind through a good credit monitoring service. It might be some of the best peace of mind money can buy.

By Scott Dolan email@example.com
Staff Writer
PORTLAND — The latest chapter in the internationally known Kennebunk prostitution case came to a close Friday as Alexis Wright pleaded guilty to 20 misdemeanors in an agreement with prosecutors, avoiding a trial.
Alexis Wright appears in Cumberland County Court following an agreement on a plea bargain Friday afternoon. Wright is reacting to the judge's comments regarding possible jail time included in the deal.
John Ewing / Staff Photographer
The agreement calls for Wright, the central figure in the case, to serve 10 months in York County Jail and owe more than $58,000 in fines and restitution. Her sentencing hearing is scheduled for May 31, and she will remain free on bail until then.
In return for the guilty pleas, prosecutors reduced three felony charges for federal tax and state welfare violations to misdemeanors.
The case has made headlines since police raided Wright's Zumba studio and business office in Kennebunk and her home in Wells on Valentine's Day 2012.
Wright, 30, was accused of conspiring with Mark Strong Sr., 57, of Thomaston to run a one-woman prostitution business from the Zumba studio, keeping extensive records and video recordings of her sex acts with customers.
Police and prosecutors have said that Wright had more than 140 clients' names in her ledger and took in at least $150,000 from the business from July 2010 to February 2012.
On Friday, she pleaded guilty to two misdemeanor counts of theft by deception for income tax and welfare fraud, two misdemeanor counts of evasion of state income tax, one count of promotion of prostitution, one count of conspiracy to promote prostitution, and 14 counts of engaging in prostitution.
Wright had faced 106 charges. The two most serious -- theft by deception -- were punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
Under the agreement, 86 counts were dismissed, including 46 counts of invasion of privacy.
Prosecutors and Wright's attorney, Sarah Churchill, reached the agreement after about 13 hours of closed-door negotiations with a judge in Cumberland County Unified Criminal Court: five hours on March 13 and eight hours Friday.
Wright, dressed in a black-and-white patterned skirt, a pink blouse and a black jacket, appeared in court once the deal had been reached and spoke quietly after Justice Nancy Mills read each count, saying "guilty" after each one.
"It was an appropriate outcome," said Assistant Attorney General Darcy Mitchell, whose office prosecuted the tax and welfare charges. "She's taking responsibility for her actions."
Churchill said by phone after the hearing that she left the courthouse first, declining to comment as she was trailed by a group of reporters and camera operators. She then drove back to the courthouse and picked up Wright, who waited unnoticed at a side door, to keep Wright away from the media.
She said the last thing Wright wanted after a long day Friday was to "walk through the gauntlet" of cameras and shouted questions.
Churchill said Wright was pleased to avoid conviction on the felony counts but disappointed at the length of the jail sentence.
"I think it really is the hallmark of a good compromise," Churchill said. "Everyone walked away a little disappointed."
Churchill said speculation that Wright plans to profit from the intense media attention she drew is, so far, unfounded. Wright has signed no book or movie deals and has turned down offers to appear for pay on national news outlets.
The plea agreement does not forbid her from profiting from the case.
"This entire nightmare was never designed or made out to catapult her into the national scene with book deals and movie deals," Churchill said.

Loser David – To David....Learn to spell and construct a sentence. YOU are the loser. HaHaHa
Security are losers!!!! – Had someone still my cell phone. when confronted person with information about "friends" who stole my phone and person told me "to get the f*** away" security heard the whole confersation. when the person said get the f*** away and i walked away, i started to walk away , the person, who was drunk said it again. and i admit at that point i was annoyed at that point. I said shout the f*** up b**** Security admittely told me to leave. I started to but when i asked to talk to them by my self to tell my side of the story, they pepper spray me TWO TIMES!!!!!!!!! I was not resesting! When I told them i had a complaint they told me to go to the police. i flaged a CHP car down and they said security was like that cause of the drunks from the bars around the area.I WAS NOT DRUNK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The security at Hot Rods is unprofessenol and losers! do not go there!
Wankers! – Just had my first at Hot Rods. (no pun intended) Might I say, that the food is terrible and well, when I arrived both of the "boys" were hanging/sitting on the counter and the front lights were off. The nice flat screen TV's looked nice and black, not on. But who goes to a restaurant for the ambiance any how, right? On to the food. Burger, fries and a shake...lets see, that will be $14 dollars please....! I know I am a big guy, but did they see me coming. Being this establishment is in a G&L area, was I subject to a straight tax that I was not aware of? Paid the money expecting something that was palatable and hot. What I received however was the opposite. Another post above mentioned a dry burger. +1 for them, right on target. But I will add tuff and no seasoning/flavor. The fries, how can you mess up fries, must have been left over from last night with the heat lamp on over them too boot! As a side note a nice older lady came in while I was waiting, asked for an ice cream cone. The "boy" sold her the cone, took her money then told her (with out missing a beat) sorry, we do not have any cones. Of coarse her response was exactly what any of us would say. "What about those"! Nice staff my A$$, the owner needs to monitor his staff a little more. I and whom ever I can tell will not be trying this establishment...
I'll be back ... – It's a HAMBURGER-SHAKE-FRIES place! It's not fast food .. I didn't go there expecting "fast food".
I've been there 2X .. and I do plan to go again. 1st time was with family - wife's idea .. it was a good one! I enjoyed the atmosphere (the place is small, quiet .. ) so I organized a "Z Social". A social gathering for fellow Z-car enthusiasts. We (20 of us - 17 "cars") went on a Sunday ... kind of overwhelmed the staff (they were concerned that we were going to expect "fast food" type of service .. we weren't). Food was enjoyable .. service was "just right" ...
Comments I got .. we want to go back ...
Never again – Thats all I have to say and I have nothing more to say except the review says I have to write at least 100 characters so I'm going to continue to waste space because as far as this restaraunt goes I have nothing more to say except never again.
Good gay food – If you want to see and be seen, this would be the place. The food is fairly good but a bit overpriced for "fast food" - burger, fries and drink came to nearly $9. On the two occasions I was there, the staff attitude varied widely - the first time it was way overly friendly, and the second time it was indifferent to the point of being perturbed a customer actually showed up.
Great lunch place! – Not recommended on the weekend unless you don't mind stumbling through a crowd of rude kids and tempermental staff. But the food is good. We try going during lunch time and found that the staff are pleasant and they'll make your hamburgers they way you want. It is a little overpriced but worth it.
Misdemeanor – Chicken San $5, Onion Rings, $4. Very Disappointed. When we picked up an onion ring it dripped of grease and was soggy in minutes. The chicken san was dry and the bread had been sitting out for a while. While the guys behind the counter were cute, not a one smiled or seemed very happy we were there to buy food and eat.
Great burgers!! – The burgers are great! Just like the kind you used to get years ago..before the fast food craze. The hours are great to for late nighters or midtowners. Overall we had a great time there though the service was way slow and not particularly on the friendly side.
This popular late-night eatery is the most recent addition to the city's blossoming gay neighborhood. – In Short
Deep-red walls, brushed metal and big-screen TVs make this a modern, fashionable alternative to the typical fast-food joint. The vibe is casual, with a simple menu of burgers, shakes and fries to match. Diners come here not so much for the food, but to see and be seen at this overwhelmingly gay hangout. The location across from the city's most popular gay nightclub, coupled with extended hours, makes it the perfect place to curb your hunger after a night of dancing.

Yesterday was Michael Jackson's 54th birthday and there was some media mention but nothing like the world media coverage on Elvis' 35th anniversary. There was also a small vigil gathering outside of his childhood home in Gary, IN. His 'children" (I quote that because they're not really his biological kids) were there to greet them then sign autographs. The oldest, Paris Jackson told the small gathering of fans "you guys are amazing!". If she thinks 25-50 people is "amazing" for being at the vigil of the man who is supposed to be the almighty "King of pop" only 3 years after he passed, then I wonder what she thought about the 75,000 people who attended the candlelight vigil at Graceland for the 35th anniversary of Elvis' death? Heck, James Brown probably gets a bigger vigil.
Anyway, this isn't a bash-MJ thread. It's just to point out and show just how loved and remembered that Elvis still is worldwide when he draws a mass crowd to his home opposed to what MJ's fans do for him. This proves once and for all that there will NEVER EVER be another human like Elvis. His longevity will go on after all of us are dead and gone. Now that we have reached Mars, it wouldn't surprise me if Elvis' music is the first ever to be played on Mars one day.
P.S. there are over 50 Elvis statues worldwide, one in Isreal even! How many MJ, Beatles or Sinatra statues are there?
Long live the REAL and TRUE King....ELV1S!!!

I dream a world where man no other man

No secret to all of this....Elvis is the most loved!
too true Diane...............
and thanks Viva......didnt know it was Jacko's b-day yesterday.......lol
"NO-ONE, BUT NO-ONE,IS HIS EQUAL, OR EVER WILL BE. HE WAS, AND IS SUPREME".Mick Jagger
It's a shame that Jackson's fans haven't rallied round and made a bigger effort. I suppose fame can be a fleeting thing and when some stars pass on the legacy can take a knock. Only time will tell if the Jackson fans can somehow centralise their pilgrimage and make something from the ashes.
That makes fans want to go there, to feel the love he felt there and left behind there.
Perhaps Neverland could someday fulfill that feeling for MJ fans.....althought it is such a circus/amusement park type atmosphere from the photos I have seen.
I am not sure the love MJ had for Neverland is on par with the almost spiritual love Elvis felt for Graceland....that may be the difference.
Work in Progress!
Here is the information: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neverland_Ranch
It can never be like ELVIS' Graceland, it just will not happen, just my thoughts. ELVIS is and always will be the greatest artist that ever lived. Graceland was the dearest place in HIS heart.

And to think in the past Elvis's Graceland was called "garish and hillbillly" in style and appearance.
Work in Progress!
I never thought Graceland was garish, in fact, I found it as graceful as it's name. People who called that should look around at some of the other star's homes. Neverland does look like a theme park.
Did any of you watch that Martin Bashir documentary years ago? Jackos interior designs were "off the wall" I do remember seeing a Peter pan statue in there, amongst other things but one mans castle is another mans dump.
Graceland was a home not a theme park that is the biggest difference. That is why Elvis loved it so much, sure he could have purchased a bigger house later in life but it wouldn't have been a home to Elvis like Graceland was.
I think that is one reason why Graceland has that magical feel when you visit because it is not some monstrosity of junk. It is something that we all could see ourselves living in.
Love Elvis...The Greatest
RIP Tommy
....Thanks Tommy.
Even the name of possessions says a lot about their character.
I've always loved the name GRACELAND - Lands of grace. What elegance and timeless.
Beautiful and noble.
I'll Remember You!!!

Top Stories
Redbacks fight back stuns sloppy Indians
Tom Cooper scored 12 runs from the final over of a pulsating game to seal a stunning 5 wicket victory over the Mumbai Indians who conceded 48 runs from the final 4 overs to slump to an agonising defeat.
The 23 year old Dutchman remained calm to seal a stunning victory which leaves the Indians on the verge of elimination after losing their opening two games.
Faced with a victory target of 181 Michael Klinger and Daniel Harris started off the run chase slowly but the openers were helped along the way by the Indians who put down two easy catches which allowed the pair to build a substantial opening partnership.
The first lifeline was handed to the Redbacks by Sachin Tendulkar who put down Harris out at square leg after the opener had top edge a delivery from Lasith Malinga.
After only scoring 27 runs from the first 5 overs, the pair tried to break the shackles by targeting spinner Ali Murtaza who conceded 15 runs to get the Redbacks run chase back on track.
With the runs starting to flow Harris started to hit out and was lucky to remain at the crease after he was dropped by Saurabh Tiwary at the start of the 7th over much to the displeasure of bowler, Harbhajan Singh.
The Indians were now feeling the pressure and this was now evident in the field with a number of fumbles by the fielders as Harris and Klingers partnership reached 69 after 10th overs.
Despite the steady reply the Redbacks had started to fall behind the required run rate but Harris launched a fresh attack when Dwayne Bravo came in to bowl the 11th over dispatching him for a boundary and two sixes.
Kieron Pollard suffered a similar fate conceding 16 runs two overs later before Murtaza came back into the attack to make the vital breakthrough to dismiss Harris (56) after he was caught by DP Duminy to end an opening partnership of 112.
With his partner gone; Klinger (50) tried to continue the attack but he perished 6 deliveries later after he was caught by Bravo out on the long-on boundary after he tried to dispatch Malinga for a six.
It was a vital breakthrough for the Indians who took control of the game with Murtaza picking up his second wicket of the night to dismiss Graham Manou (10) who was caught by Tiwary out on the deep backward square leg boundary.
The double breakthrough left the Redbacks needing another 54 runs from just 28 deliveries and with two new batsmen at the crease it should have been game over but Daniel Christian (16), Cameron Borgas (14) and Tom Cooper (19) lead the fight back to leave the Australians needing 11 runs from the final over.
With the pressure mounting Harbhajan Singh was called on to bowl the final over but Cooper remained calm dispatching the spinner for a massive six from the second delivery of the over to leave the Redbacks needing 3 runs with victory being secured with a cover drive through mid-wicket for a boundary.
The Indians came into the game with a lot to prove after their shock 7 run defeat against the Highveld Lions on Friday night at the Wanderers Stadium.
The pressure was also on Tendulkar despite his blistering 42 ball 69; thanks to some questionable tactics from the skipper which contributed to the Indians defeat.
Having won the toss Tendulkar decided to bat first, hoping the inclusion of Tiwary and Dwyane Bravo in the batting line up would help boost his teams chances of claiming victory.
Tendulkars decision to bat first didnt pay off though for the Indians who lost Shikhar Dhawan (2) at the end of the second over after he edged a delivery from Gary Putland through to wicket keeper Graham Manou.
The skipper responded brilliantly to the loss; dispatching Daniel Christian for two boundaries and a massive six over fine leg during the 5th over as he looked to break the shackled imposed by the Redbacks.
His aggressive nature proved to be his downfall though an over later when he charged down the wicket attempting to smash Aaron OBrien over mid-on but the skipper failed to make contact with the ball which crashed into the stumps to leave the Indians 35-2.
With Tendulkar (20) gone the Indians needed Ambati Rayudu and JP Duminy to stay together at the crease but their partnership only contributed 12 runs before OBrien struck again to remove Duminy (3).
The middle order batsmen departed without really troubling the Redbacks but Rayudu looked composed at the crease and with new partner Tiwary beside him the Indians were well placed to start their recovery.
Although he only added 38 runs to the total Rayudu gave the Indians innings new urgency before he was dismissed by Cullen Bailey at the start of the 13th over.
Tiwary responded to the loss by smashing the next delivery for a six over long-off before launching a blitz two overs later which saw him dispatch OBrien for three consecutive sixes during an over which cost the Redbacks 25 runs.
To their credit the Australians struck back with the first ball of the next over which was bowled by Shaun Tait. Having been brought back into the attack Tait dismissed Tiwary (44) who tried to smash the ball over Callum Ferguson at mid-off but the fielder plucked the ball out of the air to leave the Indians 137-5.
With Tiwary back in the dugout, Kieron Pollard, who up until now had been a spectactor at the non strikers end took control of the game; launching a short ball from Tait out of the ground much to the delight of the crowd at Kingsmead.
The big hitting West Indian enjoyed a quick fire 6th wicket partnership of 33 with compatriot Dwayne Bravo before Pollard (36) was dismissed by Christian at the start of the final over.
Christian struck again to remove Bravo (22) but the damaged had already been done by Tiwary and Pollard who helped the Indians reach 180-7.

In the franchise world, I'm often watching trends in what types of businesses are becoming popular and successful. Take the frozen yogurt trend for instance; it's still going strong. New franchises are opening every day. It will be interesting to see how long the buzz in frozen yogurt continues.
I've noticed another recent trend toward healthier food options. With statistics like the fact that more than ⅓ of adult Americans are obese,* it's no surprise, really, that the franchising world would respond in kind.
Move Over, Burgers
Used to be, salads were the thing you didn't want to order on a fast food menu featuring hamburgers.* They were wilted, waterlogged and anything but appetizing. Then a few years ago, fast food franchises like Wendy's started offering better-tasting salads. And they sold pretty well.
Now those old standby fast-food chains have to compete with franchises that specialize in salads. Consumers are increasing their demands for healthier options and more and more franchises that focus on healthy eating will continue to spring up.
Changing the Formula for Fast Food
Not only are we seeing a trend in franchising away from traditional burger franchises, we're also seeing a shift in expectations. "Slow" fast food brands like Chipotle* have appeared on the scene in the last few years, focusing not on delivering food in seconds but rather customizing orders and using quality ingredients. As long as consumers can wait for "slower" fast food because they can see and taste the difference, franchises will emerge that specialize in this way of cooking and presenting food.
Thinking Outside the Traditional Franchise
We're not just seeing new restaurant concepts popping up in the area of healthier eating. There are now healthy vending machine franchises being offered. Healthy options that can now be found in vending machines include fruit juice, smoothies, fresh fruit, granola bars and organic and gluten-free options. For franchisees, these are particularly enticing because of the premium people seem to be willing to pay for some of these "healthy" snacks.
Don't Forget About the Kids
More and more parents are becoming concerned about the unhealthy options offered in school cafeterias. While the government has made great strides in improving school meal standards over the past few years, some schools are taking matters into their own hands by partnering with franchises like Wholesome Tummies.*
Back to the Question
So will these healthier food franchises make America healthier? Or are they simply a reflection of a movement that is already in place: one of making more conscious choices about what we eat? Either way, there seems to be plenty of room for franchisors, franchisees and customers alike to benefit.
And the increase in the number of these healthy franchise options really has the attention of the fast food moguls. McDonald's announced it would offer healthy options as sides* this year in all locations worldwide by 2020. That might not be soon enough, judging from the speed at which the healthy food franchise niche is growing!
I'll be keeping my eye on this industry to see what comes up in the next few years.
You should too.

Butterfly Forest returns to Phipps Conservatory
Butterfly Forest returns to Phipps
Butterfly Forest is a colorful exhibition for the whole family.
Photo by Paul g. Wiegman
If it is even possible, on April 20, Phipps Conservatory and Botanical Gardens will become even more colorful with the reopening of its Butterfly Forest. A beloved family tradition, the enchanting annual exhibit is designed for the delight of all ages, and offers intimate encounters with live monarchs, zebra longwings and more as they emerge from their chrysalides and take flight among the colorful tropical blooms in the public garden's Stove Room – sometimes even stopping to land upon guests.
With approximately 20,000 species on earth and roughly 575 in the U.S., according to the North American Butterfly Association, butterflies are important pollinators that help to ensure the proliferation of life-supporting plants and global diversity. At Phipps, guests will have a chance to see the delicate lifecycle of these fragile insects unfold firsthand as they cultivate a sense of wonder at the beauty and benefits the winged beauties bring to the planet.
Phipps is open daily from 9:30 a.m.-5 p.m. and until 10 p.m. on Fridays. The Butterfly Forest exhibit runs through Sept. 2 and is included in the price of regular Conservatory admission, which costs $15 for adults, $14 for seniors and students, and $11 for children ages 2-18. Members and kids under 2 enter for free. For more information, visit phipps.conservatory.org.

James Montague, president of the Professional Meeting Planner's Network in Durham, N.C., always said that the plan was to establish a not-for-profit meeting planning organization to support the Medical Meeting Manager Certificate program PMPN launched in 2006. While that's not happening—at least, not yet—he, another meeting management firm, and an audiovisual company have formed a for-profit association to manage the MMMC program and further the profession of medical meeting planning.
On September 1, Montague; Pat Schaumann, CMP, CSEP, DMCP, president of the meeting management firm Meeting IQ, St. Louis; Marissa Wolfard, CMP, Meeting IQ's director of meetings; David Gillette, vice president of audiovisual company Image Technologies Corp., St. Louis; and Henry Wu, president of China Connect, an arm of Meeting IQ based in Beijing, announced plans to launch the International Medical Meeting Professionals Association, or IMMPA, to be headquartered in St. Louis and Beijing, in November.
The goal, says Schaumann, is to provide uniform training for medical meeting professionals, and certification through a revamping of PMPN's existing MMMC certificate program. Also included in the IMMPA plans are an online community with groups, blogs, forums, chat rooms, threaded discussions, and webinars; along with a referral center for domestic and international travel and meeting support resources such as vendors/suppliers, speakers, destination management companies, and translators. For now it will be privately owned, says Schaumann, though it may become a nonprofit association in the future.
A Global Resource of Its Own
But does the medical meetings industry really need its own association? Schaumann says that, after surveying medical meeting planners of all stripes—corporate medical meeting planners, medical association planners, independent planners, and providers of continuing medical education—she feels the answer is, "yes."
"While I think there are a number of good meeting planner associations out there—I am, after all, a member and past president of Meeting Professionals International, and I think they're wonderful—there is a need for an organization that is geared more to healthcare's many aspects, including veterinary medicine and hospitals." The plan is an ambitious one: To provide education that is backed by universities. IMMPA already has formed an alliance with St. Louis University, which, Schaumann says, "has an incredible medical school." It will be providing an "articulation program" with the University of Peking , which consists of discounts on some course work for IMMPA members, along with some IMMPA-accredited classes.
The latter is especially important, Schaumann says, because the organization is going to be global from the get-go. There are plans to hold a conference in China within a year. The certification piece, which the founders expect to catch on in the United States, will be even more important in China, where healthcare is also a hot topic, and certification and education are highly regarded.
While the certification IMMPA will provide will be largely the same as the current MMMC certificate—with meeting planning aspects similar to those covered in the Convention Industry Council's Certified Meeting Professional designation as well as content regarding the PhRMA Code and other regulations specific to medical meetings—Schaumann says the plan is to retool and relaunch it as an ongoing certification program quickly—before the end of September.
Ready, Aim, Launch
Other aspects may take a little longer to put in place. "We're still crawling. We want to do this in the right way," says Schaumann of IMMPA's impending launch, which will happen with a conference November 2–3 in Kansas City, Mo., held in conjunction with another conference, Missouri Meetings and Events. In addition to a keynote address by Lisa Keilty, who is a team leader with Pfizer Meetings, the IMMPA conference will include a panel of industry experts discussing the state of the industry and future trends, and a certificate class. The board also will be meeting for the first time at the conference.
The organization, which is incorporated as a limited liability company (LLC), will be funded by membership fees, meeting registrations, certification fees, and possibly a bookstore, and will be managed by Drake and Associates, an association management company based in Chesterfield, Mo. It will be staffed with one full-time executive director, a position currently held by one of the founders, Marissa Wolfard, CMP.

XMedia Recode 3.1.3
on 26 October 2012, reviewed by: S L
As a casual user not a professional or heavy user, I loved handbrake as was among the best I used so far. I recently tested XMedia Recode 220.127.116.11 and quite impress with it so far. Couple of things to say about difference I found between latest XMedia Recode and nightly build HandBrake svn 5026.
For a 350mb avi movie using same settings for both encoders, XMedia Recode took just 7 mins to get it into 160mb mkv while handbrake took 15 mins to get to 155mb. But there is slight quality difference, handbrake uses Constant Quality RF 22.5 while XMedia Recode needs Constant Quality RF 25 to achieve the target filesize I wanted that was 150-160mb range. If based on target filesize Handbrake has superior quality but if based on encode speed XMedia Recode is way faster.
Faster encoding than Handbrake
Bigger filesize than Handbrake

There seems to be a small mix-up with .wma audio. When you choose WMA codec v7 (wma1) it converts into WMA codec v8 (wma2) and vice versa.

Be careful installing the newest version 188.8.131.52.
Norton Security had an alert: one of the integrated DLLs (libfaad.dll) is containing malware (Suspicious.Cloud.7.F)
You should check by your virus-scan before installing - maybe, it is only a FALSE alert.

well,"xmedia recode" overall it is a good choice but how about using/comparing it with some other best converters/encoders (Although my prefferred ones are handbrake & xmedia recode because of availability h264 options)
1-handbrake (freeware)
2-format factory (freeware)
3-mediavatar(better conversation speed/quality than the followed affiliate ones)/imtoo/xilisoft) - some other choice of the same category is aimersoft-4videosoft(shareware(s))
4-super (freeware)
5-staxrip (freeware)
6-dvdfab (shareware)
7-total video converter (shareware/freeware)
8-pepsky all in one (shareware)
9-quick media converter (freeware)
10-iWisoft Free Video Converter (freeware)
for a full pack converter/encoder , choose mediacoder but it has a heavy GUI which makes it a-no-choice for many users .
for video fixing(avi/divx/rm(vb)/wmv/asf) , choose video-fixer (A discontinued shareware project but you will be able to find registered one around the internet)

Chocolate - Recipe Redux Challenge February 2012
I recently ran into a site that hosts a challenge, near and dear to my heart (literally). The Recipe Redux Challenge is held once a month using a designated ingredient, sometimes having a 'bad for you reputation', and the challenge is to take that ingredient and make it fit into a healthy, whole foods way of life. Now this was something I could dig my knife and fork into. Inspiration for this month's theme is courtesy of the Meal Makeover Moms @JaniceBissex and @LizWeiss.
Today debuts my first submission. The theme, chocolate. The dish, mole.
Don't turn your nose up yet. You think mole is not creative enough, try this one on for size....a Middle Eastern Mole. Yes, I took ingredients from two different cultures and made one sauce.
We know two things about chocolate, the Mexicans have been eating it for thousands of years and it has recently been deemed as a "GOOD" food. Everything old is new again.
There is in fact a growing body of credible scientific evidence that chocolate contains a host of heart-healthy and mood-enhancing phytochemicals, with benefits to both body and mind. For more information read this article over at the Huffington Post.
You see, asking me to create a dessert using chocolate is like asking a cat to sit. I leave delicious chocolate desserts for the ones who love to eat it. Yes, I am afraid so, I don't have that chocolate gene. If I ate no chocolate for years I would not crave it.
I had to find a dish that uses chocolate in a savory way. I think I got it very right.
After marinating dark meat poultry pieces in this magical marinade roast them in a 325° oven for 40 minutes, turn and roast 15 minutes more.
Serve with Mexican Corn (recipe to follow) and spoon the sauce over the chicken. A little goes a long way, and our dishes were shy of licked clean.
I never saw The Nudge pick the bones on dark meat chicken. He wanted to know if I could freeze it for another meal (it freezes well) and started telling me what he thought it would work well with. When he gets this excited about something I have cooked, I know I hit a Grand Slam.
It meets all the requisitions....has easy to find ingredients, an easy preparation, totally healthy (see nutritionals), uses whole foods (all the way) and perfect for a romantic dinner for two or a family of six.
I am very proud of this recipe. Extremely complex, you can taste all the different components but not one comes to the foreground. I know you will not find this sauce anywhere else in the world but on my blog.
Middle Eastern Mole Sauce
Makes 24 (2 tablespoon) servings (can be doubled)
* 1 tablespoon shelled pistachio nuts, (unsalted if available)
* 5 hazelnuts, chopped
* 5 whole almonds, chopped
* 1/2 tablespoon pumpkin seeds, shelled
* 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
* 1/4 teaspoon each, cumin, ground coriander
* pinch each salt, pepper, cayenne
* 1 (2") cinnamon stick or pinch cinnamon
* 1/2 oz grated baking chocolate
* 1 Pasilla pepper, seeded and stemmed
* 1/2 chopped sweet onion
* 3 roasted garlic cloves (regular will work also)
* 2 tablespoons olive oil
* 2 teaspoon ancho powder
* 2 tablespoon tomato paste
* 2 cups chicken stock
* 2 tablespoons agave nectar
* 1 tablespoon grated hard cheese (Parmesan, Romano, Cojito), optional
Heat oven to 350°. Arrange the nuts and the pasilla pepper on a baking sheet and roast for 8 minutes. Add the sesame seeds and roast for 3 more minutes. Remove to bowl and add all the spices (cinnamon, coriander, ancho powder, cayenne, cumin and pepper).
In a saucepan heat olive oil. Add onions and saute until translucent. Add roasted garlic and the nut/spice mixture. Add chocolate and tomato paste and stir till blended. Add chicken stock and simmer for 30 minutes, uncovered. Remove from heat and cool completely, remove cinnamon stick.
Process mixture in a mini processor or blender until smooth. Press through a mesh strainer. Add agave and more stock if desired.
One serving is 2 tablespoons.
Mexican Corn and Rice
Makes 4 servings
* 1 tablespoon canola oil
* 1/2 small sweet onion, chopped
* 2 small cloves garlic, minced
* 1/2 cup Uncle Ben's Converted Rice (Diabetic Friendly)
* 1 cup corn
* 1 cup chicken stock
* Pinch Goya Sazon with azafran (for that lovely color)
* 1/2 can chopped green chilies
* 1 roasted red pepper (pimenton), chopped (jarred or hommemade)
* salt & pepper to taste
Saute onion in oil, add garlic and rice. Toast until rice turns a nutty color. Add white wine and cook until it evaporates. Add chicken stock, and Sazon, bring to a simmer, cover and cook 20 minutes. Add red and green peppers, check for seasoning, cover and serve.
