The new iPod Touch is a sensational way to enjoy your favorite music, apps, games, photos and more, all in an extremely mobile, lightweight device. The new 4th generation iPod Touch now comes in two different colors: black and white, and includes iOS 5; which gives you 200 exciting new options, including iCloud, a new service from Apple that stores all of your media and makes it accessible on your other devices, without the need to constantly sync them to your computer.
Some things are just better explained face-to-face, even when you'e miles apart. Video-calling on iPod touch means your friends can see what you'e up to, when you'e up to it. With a tap, you can call someone on an iPhone, iPad 2, iPod touch, or Mac over Wi-Fi. FaceTime works right out of the box; just enter your Apple ID and email address and you'e ready-to-go. You can also create a new email account just for FaceTime.
iPod touch has two built-in cameras, one on the front above the display and one on the back. The front camera has been tuned for FaceTime, and has just the right field of view and focal length to focus on your face at arm™s length. With just a touch of a button you can switch the conversation to the rear camera to share your surroundings with a friend. No more need to try and explain to them what you'e seeing, just show them.
iOS 5
iOS 5 is a seriously advanced mobile operating system that is running the show on every iPod touch, iPhone, and iPad. You know how to use iPod touch from the first time you pick it up. That™s because the revolutionary Multi-Touch interface in iOS was designed for your finger. And the simple, beautiful Home screen is the easiest place to start. Everything you touch is easy, intuitive, and loaded with features like:
¢ Messages with iMessage
¢ Notification Center
¢ Twitter Integration
¢ Game Center
¢ Reminders
¢ Safari Web Browser
¢ Mobile App Store
¢ Multi-touch technology
¢ Long-life battery
¢ Password Security
¢ Parental Control
¢ And more¦
HD video recording
The camera on the back of the iPod touch lets you shoot amazing 720p HD video. And with its advanced backside illumination sensor, it captures beautiful footage even in low-light settings. All while the built-in microphone records conversations, music, or any audio at the same time. No need to wait until you'e back at your computer to edit video. With basic editing built into iPod touch, you can get right down to business. Just drag to select start and end points on a filmstrip. Keep only the parts of the video you want, and turn it into something you and your friends will watch again and again.
Retina display
There are lots of reasons you won™t want to take your eyes off iPod touch. The 960x640 backlit LCD display packs 326 pixels per inch, making it the highest-resolution iPod screen ever. To achieve this, Apple engineers developed pixels so small that the human eye can™t distinguish individual pixels. Even though you can™t see them, you™ll definitely notice the difference they make. Text is remarkably sharp and graphics are incredibly vivid.
Music + iTunes
When iPod came on the scene years ago, it was all about music. iPod touch is the evolution of that first iPod, but one thing remains the same: It™s still about music. With 32GB of storage capacity, iPod touch lets you keep thousands of songs with you all the time. And when your favorite artist drops an album, or you'e feeling like its time for some new music, the iTunes Store is just a tap away.
Games + Apps
It™s hard to be bored when you have instant access to over 500,000 apps. Available in almost every category, all of the apps are just a tap away at the App Store. And when it comes to games and entertainment titles, no other platform comes close to iPod touch, with over 100,000 and counting.
Thanks to iCloud, your iPod touch has an even tighter bond with your Mac or PC (and your iPhone or iPad). iCloud stores your music, apps, games, latest photos, and more and makes them accessible on your other devices, and it also keeps your email, contacts, and calendars up to date across them, too. There™s no syncing required, no management required, no anything required, iCloud does the work for you.
With AirPlay, you can wirelessly stream what™s on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to your HDTV and speakers via Apple TV. You have great photos on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, now you can share them with all your friends in the room on one TV, or maybe you'e in the middle of an epic action scene that could use a little more screen. Tap the AirPlay icon on your iOS 5 device from a specific app and everything streams to your HDTV via your Apple TV. Make sure both your device and Apple TV are connected to the same Wi-Fi network, and the AirPlay icon appears automatically.

mongoosehq necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 88 diseños de 21 diseñadores freelance.
I'm a web application developer. Unfortunately my design skills are not as "mad" as my coding skills. That's where you come in.
Your friend on Facebook (or Twitter) who is always filling out those "Which Robert Pattinson Character R U?" quizzes.
Or spamming you with Mafia Wars requests so they can earn more mafiabucks, or whatever.
BUT - the appeal of the site has to be broad enough that just about any Twitter user (16 - 40) would not be put off by the presentation. (sadly, this rules out glitter and pink as major design elements of the site)
Also, one element of the homepage should say "Application Developer? Add Your App >>" or similar, as the website needs to both attract end-users and application developers.
*** Contest Addendum ***
* Contest winner will provide cross-browser compliant XHTML and CSS (must look reasonable and resemble original design in IE6, IE7, Firefox 3, Safari 4+ and Google Chrome)
* Contest winner will provide designs for 2-3 additional sub-pages at a later date (again with cross-browser compliant xhml + css)
The winning designer will have submitted the following:
* a logo (as part of the overall design)
* Mockups for 2 pages:
A) The home page
B) The "Application" page
This should include the following:
* The word "Mongoose" prominently displayed in some kind of logo-esque fashion + some kind of image people can associate with the brand
Mockup - Home page
I love really simple designs. The best one I've seen recently is Twitter's new homepage.
Goal of this page: get people to sign up! They do this by clicking on a button that indicates they will be taken to a page where they can login via Twiter.
So on the right hand side, there should be a prominent button saying "Sign up now" or "Login now via Twitter" or something.
On the left hand side, there should be a global activity feed for the site.
Mockup - the Application Page
The place for application content.

I had the Holy Musical B@man soundtrack stuck in my head ALL DAY Thursday before watching the movie. It was hilarious how many of the jokes and themes from the play made appearances in the movie. Most relevant:
Anyway, on to the comics!
Talia al Ghul where I completely spaced out and couldn't tell you what I'd just seen. Bleh. A bit is good but more than 30 seconds of people punching each other or shooting or whatever without breaks and my brain shuts off.
Last, here are my notes from the premiere if you are interested. A lot of these got cut or altered on their way to the comics:

We're sitting down with our favorite writers and cooks to talk about their upcoming cookbooks, their best food memories, and just about anything else.
Today, we talk to Caroline Wright, who is about to save dinnertime with a book full of Twenty-Dollar, Twenty-Minute meals you'll actually want to make -- including Merguez Burgers that we'll be grilling all summer. We're also giving away five copies of her book!
Caroline Wright is an idealist and a realist all at once: she fell in love with cooking in France, loves to eat, and dreams of merry dinner parties full of friends, stories, and wine. She's also busy. So she began developing flavorful, satisfying recipes that could be made cheaply, in a short amount of time. In her new book, Twenty-Dollar, Twenty-Minute Meals, Caroline shares meals that take little effort but will still excite the people around your table, and keep them coming back for more.
You've already seen some of these meals in Caroline's column, but today she's sharing a little more, talking to us about what she loves to cook for her family and for a crowd. She's even sharing a recipe for Merguez Burgers with Cucumber Dressing, which we can't wait to grill this summer. And we're giving away five copies of her book so that you can start cooking more -- in less time.
You studied at La Varenne in Paris and recall hosting many a dinner party while living there. Is there one meal in particular that stands out as a formative one in your relationship with food and cooking?My awareness of cooking and technique really materialized during culinary school in Burgundy. My time in Paris during college, however, was most important in becoming aware of markets and food as a part of a full and joyful way of life, which perhaps was more informative for my philosophy now than any one particular meal. We ate well, surrounded by friends, and our meals were delicious and simple. This provided the tone for my relationship with food.
What do you like to cook when you have a little more than 20 minutes?I love to cook simple, daily meals in an interesting way, but I also love to roll up my sleeves and cook long and slow and really dig into my own world for a while. I also love to cook for a ton of people, things like braised goat piled on paper plates, as long as I can sit at the table with everyone and enjoy the conversation and wine. Braised meats are my jam.
More: Choose the right wine to pair with your braised meat -- be it goat, beef, or lamb.
You now have a young son. How do you manage feeding him too while you cook meals for you and your husband?My son, while seemingly in the process of developing a gusto for food, is still quite young and toothless at eight months, so he's mostly eating purées. Truthfully, his introduction to food has been simple and fairly effortless so far -- I just blend a bit of whatever vegetables my husband and I are eating with some water and freeze them in ice cube trays. When I've felt a bit more ambitious, I've dressed some purées with different mild flavors, like butternut squash with cinnamon and orange, or parsnips with sage, just to feel like I'm doing something.
If you could throw a dinner party for six, whom would you invite, and what would you talk about?This feels like a fun game for clever dinner party conversation, where I'm meant to ask "Living or dead?" and come up with a cast of characters that include Gertrude Stein. Truthfully, though, the happiest dinners that fill me as a person and cook are those spent with my best friends in Brooklyn. They are the most generous and loving people to have at my table -- we talk, joke, and eat all at the same time. Dinners are loud; the food is good. In a dream scenario, I would spend days making a delicious porky broth for ramen. I'd have everyone put together their own bowls just before we sit down and pass around homemade pickles and seasonal veggies to dunk in our noodles. We'd probably talk about how we'd spent our weeks since we last saw each other, nothing special, mixed with what we're learning from our days in New York. It would be cold outside and warm inside and just the best night we could remember in weeks.
What's your favorite recipe in the new book?That's a hard one to answer, but I love the Merguez Burgers in the cookbook. They are a recipe I make at the first cookout of every year, and are requested by my husband and friends frequently. They are mixed up with ground lamb and all of my favorite spices, including a big dollop of harissa paste, and then they're topped with a simple cucumber dressing and served on chewy rolls. Basically, they're what I want to be eating this very minute.
Merguez Burgers with Cucumber Dressing
Serves 4
2 teaspoons fennel seeds1/2 teaspoon coriander seeds1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds1 pound ground lamb2 minced garlic cloves1 tablespoon harissa pasteKosher salt and freshly ground black pepper1/8 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper3 sliced Kirby cucumbers1/4 cup Greek yogurt1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
See the full recipe (and save and print it) here.
We're giving away five copies of Caroline's new book! To enter, tell us in the comments: What are your favorite weeknight dinners that come together in a flash? We'll pick our winners on Friday, May 17 at 3 PM EST.

New Products on Display at Computex 2007,
Taiwan's International Information Technology Show
MILPITAS, CALIF., June 4, 2007 - Reaching for the "sweet spot" of memory storage for laptop computers, SanDisk® Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK) today expanded its line of solid state drive (SSD) products with the introduction of a 64-gigabyte (GB)1 SSD aimed at both enterprise users and early adopter consumers such as gamers. SanDisk 1.8-inch UATA 5000 and 2.5-inch SATA 5000 SSD products, which already are available in a 32GB capacity, are compatible as drop-in replacements for hard disk drives in most mainstream notebook computers.
The announcement was made at Computex Taipei 2007, where SanDisk is showcasing its comprehensive line of storage products for use in industrial and system-level embedded applications. SanDisk's new 64GB SSD will be on display in Hall 1 in Booths C1000, 1002 and C1004 along with other SanDisk OEM embedded flash storage products such as iNAND™ and mDOC H3.
"Laptop manufacturers have requested more memory capacity for systems that use the Microsoft Vista platform, which can require a number of preloaded accessories and security suites," said Doreet Oren, SanDisk director of SSD product marketing. "Also, there is interest in developing laptops for gaming, and the SSD is well-suited for the performance and memory requirements of those users. Thus, by offering greater capacities on our SSD products, we are making our products more appealing to a wider customer base."
Compared to conventional hard drives still found in most notebook computers, SanDisk SSDs offer key benefits to computer manufacturers and their customers:
Gartner projects global consumption of SSDs in consumer and business notebooks to leap from about 4 million units in 2007 to 32 million units in 20108.
SanDisk SSD products are available now to manufacturers. The company plans to offer 64GB engineering samples in the third quarter, with mass production planned to commence prior to the end of the year. More information about SanDisk SSD products is available online at www.sandisk.com/ssd.
SanDisk is the original inventor of flash storage cards and is the world's largest supplier of flash data storage card products, using its patented, high-density flash memory and controller technology. SanDisk is headquartered in Milpitas, California, and has operations worldwide, with more than half its sales outside the U.S.

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. – The Georgia College women's basketball team (15-6, 8-6 PBC) rallied from a 13-point deficit before falling to Columbus State University (15-5, 10-4 PBC), 65-54 Saturday afternoon at the Centennial Center. The loss snapped the Bobcats' current two-game win streak as Georgia College hoped to extend its winning streak during Homecoming weekend.
The matchup featured two of the top rebounding teams in the conference with both teams living up to the billing. The Bobcats and Cougars grabbed 51 rebounds apiece. In addition to Keys' 11, senior Thresia Elskamp (Potosi, Wis.) and junior Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) registered eight boards apiece. Elskamp added four points and a steal, while Donley had seven points, two blocks, and a steal.
Senior Brandi McKinney (Cincinnati) accounted for three steals, six points, and five boards. The Bobcats finished with six blocks led by senior Abby Slocumb's (Suwanee, Ga.) fifth-consecutive three-block game this season.
Georgia College was slow to get out of the gate. The Cougars went on an early 13-point run that allowed them to take a nine-point lead into the intermission at 32-23.
Columbus State went up 13-points early in the second half before the Bobcats came to life. Georgia College went on an 18-3-run to take the lead at 43-41. Nine of the 18 points came off threes with McKinney, Walker, and Keys hitting from downtown. Keys' three gave the Bobcats their first lead at 43-41 since a 1-0 free-throw put Georgia College up early and it moved her into sole possession of No. 9 on the Georgia College all-time threes list. Keys' 128th three broke a tie with Beth Heyer (1997-01).
The contest featured four tie-scores midway through the second with the last one at 51 points apiece with less than seven minutes left. The Cougars would finish the game with a 14-3-run with eight of those points coming from Tae Smith to seal the win.
The Cougars were led by Smith with 17 points, six steals, and two assists. Both Chatil Bradford and Carrie Washington finished the game with double-doubles. Washington had a game-high 19 boards to go with 10 points, while Bradford grabbed a dozen rebounds with 11 points. Asha Alexander also turned in 13 points.
Georgia College moves to 8-6 in conference play, remaining in fifth in a tough Peach Belt Conference West Division, where five of the seven teams have winning conference records. The top four in the division advance to the PBC Tournament in March.
The Bobcats' next matchup is at Clayton State University (16-5, 11-3 PBC) Monday, Feb. 17 for a PBC tilt starting at 5:30 p.m.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Embracing Minimalism (Repost of An Old Article)
I re-read it today to make sure that I still felt this way and to see if anything had really changed. I think the only thing that has changed is that I'm not driving to Madison, WI anymore..haha. I guess not everything stays the same.
Embracing Minimalism.
I have spent the last few years "embracing minimalism". In my late teens/early twenties I was obsessed with material things. I spent too much money on booze, clothes, and gadgets. Consequently, by the time I was 23 or 24, I found myself in debt.. I worked a better part of my mid-late twenties getting myself out of debt. The more money I made, the less money I spent. Over time, I became less concerned with spending money on things that I really did not need.
I'm not sure what the real turning point was for me. I think I realized somewhere along the way these material things were not making me happy or healthy and often not utilized.. That's not to say that I still don't get caught up in some material things. I like to keep myself in a newer car, but it is mainly for reliability because I spend so much time driving. I also love a few gadgets like my IPOD which keeps me from having so many CDs in the floorboard of my truck and I also enjoy my Sirius radio which keeps me company on my long-frequent trips to see Kelly in Madison, WI. For the most part, I now save my money for things like travel and other things that are more "enriching" than clothes or the latest gadgets.
Embracing Minimalism is a concept that has found it's way into my training. I used to buy anything I could on training be it magazines, books, DVDs, ect.. Some of these products served me well and did have a profound impact on some of the training changes I made over the years. Many of the materials are great resources but all of the information became almost overwhelming. I didn't want to stay trapped with Analysis – Paralysis syndrome.
A couple of years ago, I came to the realization that dedicated focus on one rep maximal strength was not the best thing for me nor were the training routines associated with the goals of increasing maximal strength.. At one point in time, it was definitely important and the priority of my training. However, at that time, my ego ruled my training and I found myself driven by the weight I could lift even though it did not correlate to my fitness or well being.
Over time, I became more concerned with my longevity and my health. Moreover, I wanted my training to benefit my emotional state. That's hard to do when your focus is on constant tension and Lord knows I have enough of that outside of my garage gym. That's not to say I don't backslide and get caught up on occasion by how much I can lift. That is also not to say that I don't have a tremendous amount of respect for athletes who push themselves to go heavy, e.g. Olympic and Powerlifters. I just know there is something better for me at this stage in my life.
Obviously, as a kettlebell sport competitor, I try to do as many reps as possible and initially that was the primary focus of training high rep snatches, swings and some jerks. But, what I've found is the process involved in this training has made me more "connected" and physically aware. This training system is more than a competitive outlet for me.
I have learned that when I can remove my ego from the effort, I tend to have an easier time making progress and going longer and even faster. I found myself struggling before the last competition. Even prior to Nationals, workouts were a struggle because I was too concerned with numbers. Right before the competition, I just kind of let it go and had a great day….
What I've realized is that I don't need a multitude of exercises or exotic routines. Minimalism is my friend. Too many things are a distraction and if you're like me, you've got enough distractions in life.
I have the confidence to say now that all I need is couple of full body movements like the swing, jerk, snatch and maybe some variation on those movements. But I have an overriding need to stay connected and this training modality that I've found through Valery Federenko and the American Kettlebell Club is the best way to do that; it is very similar to a martial art.
How do we get to this connected state? In order to be successful, you've got to learn the skills and apply those skills for time. Even for the non-competitor, there is a specific-simple way to do this. You focus on making your reps good through slow and deliberate practice. There is no need for complex training routines with this approach. This is simple, but not easy. It is certainly not easy for those who have spent years training tension or training to crank out mindless reps in a particular lift.
Going slow is a sure fire way to bring out flaws. Even going slow, you cannot last if you have bad technique. Going slow allows you to get a true feel for the movement. Going slow also allows you to go longer which of course is a critical component of building work capacity. No one has a true appreciation for this until they do a timed set where they can't switch hands multiple times or set the bell down. This one component is the single most important component in my opinion. Nothing else forces you to become connected or increases your ability to "stay". How can you reach this connected state if you set the bell down after a minute or even two minutes when it starts to get hard?
You might wonder what I mean by connected or when I use words like stay? Connected to me means that your body and mind are in harmony; you know that even though it is uncomfortable, you can keep going because you are physically capable. I don't hit this state every workout. The days events or personal problems may find their way into my thoughts during training and I'm distracted; those days longer sets are a huge struggle. But, the goal is to reach this state and to do that I must clear my mind of the days events which is skill in of itself. No one said relaxing under stress was easy and we should never trivialize that skill! This training is tough; but you will learn to become tougher and the voice that is telling you to stop will become quiet.
The greatest carryover for some is that they learn how to stay by not setting the weight down even for a few seconds. In almost every other strength and conditioning modality involving weights, you can stop or set the weight down for a break. We train to hold onto the weight so even when we are resting we are working. We are forced to learn how to accept a safe level of discomfort.
This is definitely a modality that can boast effective short duration workouts that will definitely improve your overall fitness and well being. After a short time, I found that I recover between workouts quickly and I am rarely if ever sore. I have found that I can increase my volume gradually and things that once seemed impossible are now completed goals. There are times when my ego does get the best of me; I still find that I can grab a 32kg and press it or deadlift a respectable amount of weight even now weighing 35lbs less than I did in early 2006, and without any dedicated pressing or deadlifting practice.
This minimalist modality has been very liberating. It has given me the confidence to go heavier at times, but it has also given me the confidence and ability to go lighter or to do things for an extended period of time because the successful execution of this training works your mind just as much as it works your body. More times than not our mind is what limits us from doing truly remarkable things.

Very nice write up Catherine. And very true, probably for most kettlebell athletes.
I think we all go through that stage where we try to find as much information as we can, attempting to wrap our minds around our training and probably in way, even if subconsciously, looking for that magical protocol. But over time we come to realize that it is the physical training that makes the difference. I also think over time we start to internalize our training, as we get more and more connected, it becomes a part of us and we no longer feel the need to advertise it to others as much. I think this same phenonmenon occurs when one studies martial arts as well, as you made reference to. Thanks for sharing.

Found your blog via Valery Federenko on Facebook, and reading this post, I gotta say that your story of where you were in your early twenties and your realization about embracing minimalism kind of freakily mirrors where I'm at at the moment (23 and in debt? Check!). I'm even going into IT as well, although I'm my KB journey is just starting and I'm still getting whooped by my 16 and 20kg bells.
Anyways... I found your post very inspirational, so thank you for sharing your experiences! Best of luck in kettlebells and all other things as well!

The Caribbean is the Cruising Capital of the World
Boasting crystal-clear waters warmed year-round, powdery beaches lined with palm trees, friendly laid-back culture, and rich history steeped in pirate lore, the Caribbean is the world's most popular cruise destination and it's no mystery why.

Valentine's Day school lunches
I was completely exhausted this morning and went pretty simple on the lunches today. And I will admit I am glad the valentiney lunches are done with for a year. I've got new supplies I'm dying to play with. :)
Okay, Paige's lunch today:
Packed in our PlanetBox:
- organic strawberry yogurt with sprinkles, packed in the leakproof PlanetBox Big Dipper
- three mini peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, cut with a mini heart shaped cookie cutter
- strawberries
- row of pretzels
- conversation hearts
Have you noticed how ridiculous the sentiments on conversation hearts are these days? I remember them saying things like "xoxo", "cutie pie", "luv you", things like that. I was aghast to read "text me" and "tweet me" on these candies. TWEET ME? Seriously? Where's the humanity?! #oldfogey
Ethan's lunch for today:
Packed in a 4 square Lock & Lock box:
- kiwi fruit
- strawberries
- cereal bar and granola bar, cut to fit in that section, with more ridiculous conversation hearts
- pretzels
These Lock & Lock boxes with the 4 sections are back in stock at Amazon! After mysteriously disappearing for months and months! So glad. They are too good to be retired. I've resisted using them lately because every time I do I am asked "where can I get one?" and to have to answer "sorry, they aren't selling them anymore!" was kind of sucky. Oh happy day.
Supplies used to pack these lunches:

Hi Melissa
I came across your blog while looking for reviews for planet box. Thank you for that, I've been thinking of buying one for my daughter, but wanted to make sure it would be worth the investment.
I really enjoyed reading your creative lunch ideas.
I have a question though, do you plan your lunch in advance - Is that for a week or just the night before?
Will pick some great ideas from your blog

Hi Arts!
I *try* to have a plan in mind the night before. And if I can muster up the energy to prep some stuff the night before, like washing the fruit, putting crackers/cookie cutters/etc. out on the counter with whatever container I'm planning to use -- just that little bit of forethought makes packing lunch in the morning infinitely quicker and easier. It doesn't often happen though!

hey, melissa!
just a heads up that the boxes you linked to at amazon are NOT the four square divided ones.
i actually ordered the four square divided ones in january and went to order another one last week and got that one with the funky tray. not sure why it's different or switched out, but it is. i haven't been able to find it anywhere else. :(

These lunches are amazing (and make this mama look like a total slacker). I really do have to get it together and start making fun, healthy, beautiful lunches for my little girls. Thanks for the inspiration!
I'd be thrilled if you'd link up at this week's Off the Hook!
- February 15, 2013 at 7:15 AM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Really Melanie? When I pull up that page it even gives the note across the top saying "Instant Order Update for Melissa Sharp. You purchased this item on September 28, 2010". What is funky about the tray in this one?
Lauren, don't feel like a slacker! My kids passed out store bought valentines, if that makes you feel any better! :)
- February 15, 2013 at 8:44 AM
I love your blog.! Just got in our planet box and hoping to get some ideas. Do you buy all organic or mix? And what's your favorite bread? I love making bread but my kids prefer store bought..:( so I try to buy as least ingredient bread as possible... Thanks!
- February 17, 2013 at 7:23 PM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Hey #6!
We do a mix of organic and non-organic. Fruit and veggies are nearly always organic. Certainly the things on the list of worst conventional produce I buy organic, like apples and berries.
For crunchy-type snack foods (crackers and whatnot), those are not usually organic, though there are some things that are. Dairy is usually non-organic because organic cheese and whatnot is so cost-prohibitive.
I have been making bread a lot lately because my oldest is really enjoying eating fresh bread. After years of him not wanting anything to do with bread, it's a welcome change. :)
Enjoy that PlanetBox! It's a great lunchbox. :)
- February 19, 2013 at 8:54 AM
- Melanie said... [Reply to comment]
hey, melissa - couldn't reply to your comment directly for some reason...
but yes, i get that instant order update as well but it's NOT the box with the four dividers that i ordered in january. instead, it's the square box with a slotted tray at the bottom. i guess to keep whatever it is you're storing non-soggy? regardless, it's not the same thing. they've changed the name and the photos accordingly but for some reason it says it's a past order.
i contact amazon about it when my second order came a few weeks ago and they refunded me b/c it was the wrong item.
whew! sorry for the book!

Bummer about the Lock & Locks! I found the four squares at a local Asian market and bought one the other day. If they aren't being made/sold anymore I might have to go stock up!

I love bentos, I just don't have the time to make them. My question is, how do they stay so neat in the boxes? I think my kid drop kicks her lunch box at school. LOL! Pinned! Thanks for sharing at Two Cup Tuesday at Pint Sized Baker! Hope to see you there again on Monday night!
- February 23, 2013 at 11:50 AM
- Melissa said... [Reply to comment]
Hi Pint Sized Baker! A lot of times my bentos are not elaborate and really don't take any extra time to put together. It can be faster to put food in compartments than wrestle into baggies and seal up! When a box has individual compartments, as these ones do, the food can only shift around within that one spot, so even drop-kicking the lunch box can't do too much harm! LOL!

Jim Davis and His Fat Feline Celebrate an Anniversary
10 Responses to Jim Davis and His Fat Feline Celebrate an Anniversary
I wonder if there'll ever be a critical re-appraisal of Garfield in the next decade or two and Fanta'll give him the "Peanuts" treatment; maybe get a cartoonist who's in the early stages of their career now to do the design work; someone like Michael Deforge….that'd be excellent.
And I like how Garfield was drawn in those early strips, too. He has a real mass, almost like a fuckin' Kirby drawing, or something. Hahah. I just wrote that.
Since the entire run of Garfield is in print and readily available in numbered volumes — in color and black and white, in single volume and omnibus editions— there would be little reason to mount another reprint series, unless one is desperate for Garfield hardcovers.
lol @ kim's reply
but there's something to be said for that buoyant, rubber-stamp art style that davis perfected. dumb as it is, garfield has a certain "scanability" that Davis (like bushmiller before him) utilizes to draw the eye and deliver the gag as expeditiously as possible, with an aggressive simplicity of text, layout, and image. though i admit theres an awkward ugliness that kind of grates the eye
i remember in grade school it seemed like garfield (and maybe tintin) was the only comic that /everyone/ read, and i think that was due to the immediacy of its aesthetic rewards (bright colors, expressive characters, and clear contours) — so much so that it didn't seem to matter that most of the gags were pretty "whatever."
The first comic I ever read was a collection of Garfield strips my brother had brought home from the U.S. (to Ireland) in 1984. They made such an impression on the family that when we adopted a kitten later that same year, we named her Garfield (gender-appropriateness be damned!)
I remember Garfield as being extremely funny in its early days and even had several of the early collections. I should go back and reread those early strips now, I guess, to see if I still respond that way, because today, nine times out of ten, I scratch my head in bafflement as to what's even supposed to be funny about the strip.
On a totally unrelated topic, what in God's name has happened to the Adam comic strip? It used to be at least mildly amusing consistently when Bassett did it, and I thought his art was very good. Then, some time back, the art style shifted when someone else took over (and the humour quotient dropped signififantly, along with the quality of the art). . . and for the last few weeks . . . . yikes!
Bob, another great profile!
The Davis/Bushmiller comparison is so apt that a hundred alt-comics cartoonists just simultaneously shot themselves.
The timeline is all over the place. How long did it take to write this piece?
I never did care for Garfield, but I am impressed at how big PAWS is. Kudos to Mr. Davis. He really does know how to write everyday humor. That craft bit was my favorite part.
If Mark Newgarten wrote an analysis of Garfield it would be about three sentence long.
The most enlightening thing about Garfield is GarfieldMinusGarfield.

Division III began its 40th anniversary year celebrating six former Division III student-athletes holding head coaching positions in the National Basketball Association.
That group didn't include two brothers prominent in the NBA – one, a former head coach who now is highly visible as lead analyst for ABC and ESPN broadcasts of league games, and the other who just has returned to the head coaching ranks.
With SUNY Brockport graduate Stan Van Gundy's selection last month to coach the Detroit Pistons, seven of the league's 30 teams now are led by men who played basketball at Division III member schools. (An eighth team, NBA champion San Antonio, is led by former Pomona-Pitzer coach Gregg Popovich.)
Meanwhile, younger brother and Nazareth graduate Jeff Van Gundy – himself a former coach of the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets – wrapped up his seventh year in television this week as a member of the broadcasting team for the NBA finals on ABC.
Stan left a mark both athletically and academically at SUNY Brockport, where he played for his father, Bill Van Gundy. On the court, he set a school record by making 53 consecutive field goals, and in the classroom, as a double major in English and physical education, he earned the State University of New York Athletic Conference's Sam Molnar Men's Student-Athlete Award for demonstrating the best combination of athletic and academic ability.
Jeff initially enrolled at Yale, then played during his father's final season at Brockport before joining the squad at Nazareth.
"His nickname was all-out Jeff," his Nazareth coach, Bill Nelson, recalled during ceremonies in 2012 after Van Gundy funded renovation of the school's men's and women's locker rooms. The locker rooms have been named for Nelson and former Golden Eagle coaches Jim Emery and Bob Ward, as well as for Farrell Lynch, Jeff's college roommate, who died in the 2001 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
"Students cared for each other. We were very tight," Jeff, a history and education major at Nazareth, said during a 2012 athletics department video interview about his experiences at the school. "Faculty were tremendous, caring about how you were progressing. And even though it's small-college athletics, there was a huge care factor for winning, but winning with honor and doing it right….
"The overriding thing I remember is the quality of the people I played for, and the people I played with."
Jeff coached briefly at the high school level before serving stints as an assistant at Providence and Rutgers. He became head coach of the Knicks after seven seasons as an assistant in New York.
Like Jeff, Stan wanted to follow in their coaching dad's footsteps, but his path led him through head coaching stints at three colleges – starting at current Division III member Castleton State and then at Massachusetts-Lowell and one season at Wisconsin – before joining Pat Riley's staff with the Miami Heat in 1995. He succeeded Riley as head coach of the Heat for two seasons beginning in 2003, then later coached the Orlando Magic for five seasons, leading the team to the NBA finals in 2009.
Like his mentor Riley, Stan will serve the Pistons not only as head coach but also as the franchise's president of basketball operations.
Jeff Van Gundy was nominated for inclusion in the 40-in-40 series by Joe Seil, assistant director of athletics and sports information director at Nazareth College.

I love your entertainment news stories. Where can I leave a comment about them?
Click on the "read more" button underneath the story if you're on the home page of the news, and once you're in the story, you'll see a comment box below the story. Comment often and get a discussion going with our other commenters! We encourage interaction.
When are showtimes updated? Why can't I get certain future showtimes (for example, for the upcoming weekend on Wednesday or before)?
We update showtimes four times a day, so as soon as the theatre owners decide on the times they will appear on the website. Please keep in mind that movies generally change weekly on Fridays and showtimes generally run from Friday to Thursday each week, so early in the week theatre owners may not have decided on the following week's schedule. New showtimes for the upcoming week may not be posted until Wednesday or Thursday.
How long will a particular movie be playing in theatres?
There is no way to predict how long any movie will play at a particular theatre. It depends on the theatre and how popular the film is. Please keep checking our showtimes.
I went to see a movie and you had it listed, but it wasn't playing yet.
Some theatres determine showtimes more than a week in advance. Please check the drop down date option to check all future showtimes. Please make sure that
the listing says that it's playing on the day you're planning to go. For example, if you want to go on Thursday, but the showtimes are listed as Friday to
Wednesday, then the movie isn't playing until Friday.
I want to see a particular movie, can you tell me when it will be coming to my theatre?
Each theatre selects the movies that will be screened at their cinemas. As soon as we have confirmation of the film's dates and showtimes, we will update our site. So keep checking our site for updates.
I went to see a movie and the showtimes were wrong and/or I went to see a movie but it didn't have 3D screenings like it said on the website.
We post the movie times provided by the theatres. Please email us if this happens and we will notify the theatre and investigate what happened. Our showtimes cover all Canadian theatres/movies and we pride ourselves on the accuracy of our showtimes data.
What does No Passes mean?
That means if you have a free pass to get into a movie, you can't use it for that movie. Gift certificates are still accepted for these movies.
I have a theatre and I would like Tribute to display my showtimes, how do I submit them?
If you own a theatre and want your theatre and showtimes displayed, please email: email@example.com
How do I find out who won a contest?
When you go to Tribute's Contests page, there's a link that says "View Contest Winners" at the top right hand of the page. Click there for a full list of winners.
How many times can I enter your contests?
For most contests, as often as you like. Occasionally we have a contest you can only enter once, so please check Section No. 6, General Terms and Conditions in the Rules and Regulations if you're not sure.
The contest won't let me enter.
Make sure to close the browser after you enter a contest and open up a new one in order to enter again, or you'll get a message saying you've already entered. You may enter as many times as you want, but remember to close and reopen the browser between entries.
How do you contact your contest winners?
If it's a big prize, we call the winner by phone. If it's a small prize, such as a book or DVD, we'll send the prize in the mail without notification. In the case of tickets, we'll either notify you by email to make sure you keep that evening free or attach a voucher to the email that you can present at the theatre.
Why do I never win your contests?
The odds of winning a prize depends upon the total number of eligible entries received on or before the applicable contest closing date. We receive numerous entries for each contest. You can enter most contests multiple times to increase your odds of winning.
Why am I getting a message that says I already entered a contest when it allows unlimited entries?
After you enter a contest, you have to close the browser and open up a new one in order to enter the same contest again, or you'll get a message saying you've already entered. You can enter as many times as you want, but close and reopen the browser between entries.
Why can't I switch the country on your contest entry form? Am I eligible to enter your contest?
Some contests are only open to certain people, e.g. residents of Canada, or people above the legal drinking age. If a contest is only open to certain people, those fields may be pre-filled in the entry form. Please read the rules and regulations to ensure you are eligible. You can find these by clicking on the Rules and Regulations link on any contest entry page.
Can I enter by mail?
Yes, you can enter our contests by sending the answer to the contest question, along with your full name, address, postal code and phone number to Tribute Entertainment, 71 Barber Greene Road, Toronto, ON M3C 2A2.

Montreal Canadiens Tickets
Montreal Canadiens Tickets Tickets Rated 0.00/5 based on 0 customer reviews 100 0
The Montreal Canadiens represent the city of Montreal, Quebec, Canada in the NHL and are members of the Northeastern Division of the Eastern Conference. The Canadiens, also known as Les Habitants (Habs) were founded in 1909 and is the oldest team in the NHL, predating the founding of the NHL. Make sure you don't miss out on the action by getting your tickets to all Montreal Canadiens games from your guy at Gold Coast Tickets! Habs fans have something to smile about despite a disappointing season last year. In the 2011-12 NHL season, the Montreal Canadiens placed last in the Northeastern Division and failed to quality for the playoffs for the first time since 2007. But franchise has been already hard at work during the offseason to ensure that are no repeats of last season. The Canadiens drafted highly touted Alex Galchenyuk, who may need a season in AHL due to a major injury last season, and Sebastian Collberg, a Swedish winger who accumulated 17 points in 21 games for his junior team. New GM Marc Bergevin has been hard at work to bring a franchise with the most Stanley Cups its first in almost two decades. He has already renovated a majority of the coaching staff, bringing in new head coach Michel Therrien as well as new assistant coaches. The Canadiens defense should be fine, provided they reach a deal with key defenseman P.K. Subban. As long as the Canadiens can continue to have the success they found this offseason, the 2013 NHL season will likely see a turnaround in Montreal. Since their founding, the Canadiens have won 24 Stanley Cup championships, more than any other team in NHL. The last time the Canadiens won a Stanley Cup was in the 1992-93 NHL season against the LA Kings. Some of the best players to ever play for the Canadiens include Doug Harvey, Jean Beliveau, and Maurice Richard, all of them Hall of Famers who have had their numbers retired by the franchise. Since 1996, the Bell Centre has been home to the Canadiens and usually receives the highest attendance of any area in Canada. The Toronto Maple Leafs and Boston Bruins are two of the Canadiens biggest rivals.

No hazy, lazy days of summer for these startups. Many of the companies on this month's list are challenging the big, established players in the IT industry.
From Base's "post-PC era" CRM that's taking on Salesforce.com to Cumulus Networks' Linux-based challenge to Cisco to the mobile development system offered by AnyPresence, startups aren't fazed by the idea of competing against the IT industry equivalent of those muscle-bound guys who rule the beach in the summertime.

New Support for BatchPipes/MVS
MartinPacker 11000094DH Comment (1) Visits (14686)
As many of you know I've been very fond of BatchPipes/MVS (aka "Pipes") down the years (17 to be precise). So I'm pleased to see APAR PK34251: ADDING BATCHPIPES SUBSYS SUPPORT TO TEMPLATE UTILITY describes some new support in the DB2 Load Utility (as driven by the Template utility) which makes it much easier to use with BatchPipes/MVS.

If you're one of the nation's plutocrats, you might be feeling a bit nervous right about now. Economic inequality, long the issue for most progressives, is squarely on the national agenda for the first time in decades. President Obama gave a significant speech on the subject on Wednesday, calling it "the defining challenge of our time." There is movement afoot on the left to increase Social Security benefits, in a reaction against the austerity policies of the last few years. And thousands of fast-food workers are taking to the streets to protest their meager wages, which make it impossible to support a family even when working full time. When centrist Democrats begin publishing op-eds in the Wall Street Journal warning that too much economic populism is a political loser for the people's party, you know there's something they're afraid of.
Economic realities notwithstanding, it isn't too likely that the Republican candidates for president will spend a lot of time talking about inequality during their 2016 primary campaign. But the Democrats almost certainly will. Obama achieved many of the major goals he articulated when he ran in 2008, including passing health care reform and getting out of Iraq. But unless he can reverse the trends of the past 40 years in the next three years—a tall order, to say the least—inequality will remain the great unfinished business of his presidency. A party for whom economic justice has always been a key principle will want to know what their next candidate will do about it.
Story Continued Below
And that next candidate, in all likelihood, is Hillary Clinton. With the Democratic race almost inevitably revolving around her, it's natural to think that if anyone can successfully challenge her, it will be from the left, with a candidacy focused on economic populism. (Given her history in the "third way" politics of the 1990s, her foreign policy hawkishness and a grab-bag of more conservative positions like support of the death penalty, Clinton is never going to be the liberal alternative.) But history tells us that such a challenge is highly unlikely to succeed. It isn't that an economic populist message won't resonate in the next general election—it will, and it might very well be the key to enabling the Democratic nominee to hold on to the White House. Democratic candidates inevitably characterize their Republican opponents as out-of-touch rich guys whose only economic agenda consists of helping the rich get richer, and it usually works. But ideological primary campaigns in either party almost never succeed.
Before we discuss why that is, it's worth reminding ourselves why the economic inequality issue is gaining steam. The recovery may be proceeding, but for most Americans it still feels like we're climbing out of a hole that was dug long before the crash of 2008. Between 1979 and 2007, real annual wages for the top 1 percent grew by more than 150 percent. For the bottom 90 percent of Americans, they grew by only 16.7 percent. The difference in income gains from investments was even greater. And things haven't changed in the Obama years. A study by Berkeley economist Emmanuel Saez found that between 2009 and 2012, the incomes of the top 1 percent rose by 31 percent, while the incomes of the other 99 percent grew by next to nothing—0.4 percent.
What the depressing data don't fully capture is the pessimism that grips so many—the feeling that things just won't get better, that a pink slip is always just around the corner, that a good job is still so hard to find, that living paycheck to paycheck is a permanent state, and your kids won't be better off than you were. A recent Washington Post/Miller Center poll found that two-thirds of Americans saying it has become harder in the last few years to get ahead and one-third saying they worry " a lot" about losing their job.

ThorstenOtto wrote:frank.lukas wrote:What about integrate mke2fs in the Tool with no need of an LNX or RAW partition ?
That tool is not a harddisk driver or something, and it also does not partition it. You will need a recognizable partition first. And afaik the mint kernel always requires a LNX or RAW partition for ext2fs, otherwise it would try to access it as FAT.
Also the parameters for mke2fs are very different than for fat, there is no such thing as numbers of fat, sectors/cluster etc. Dunno wether it makes sense to integrate it. But if you look at the source you will notice that it is actually very simple, so you might as well write a similar program for mke2fs. All the actual work is done by a commandline tool anyway, gemkfatfs is just a gui frontend for it.

What i could imagine is that you started the other version first, and that gemma.slb from that version was still in memory. I think mint immediately removes it when the last application using it exits. Maybe MagiC behaves differently there, by keeping it alive until the memory is needed otherwise.
Neurotoxic wrote:In the first test I just didn't replace the gemma.slb and I just renamed the kernel32.slb. That was wrong, I think.
Neurotoxic wrote:Could you explain to me what's the difference between the two versions? Which one is better? Or isn't there any great difference for a normal user that I have to care about?
ThorstenOtto wrote:The main difference is that one use kernel32.slb to make TOS/MiNT calls, while the other calls them directly like a normal application would. As user you should not notice any difference. And i think that kernel32.slb was mainly done as a proof of concept. The main purpose of such a shared library is to save memory when more than one program needs it. However in this case, calling the functions defined in the shared lib takes as much space as calling the TOS function directly, so all it does it add a little overhead.

Day 3 of the Cutter Creek Golf Classic saw another shake up atop the leaderboard Saturday as former N.C. State standout Adam Hogue shot a 6-under 66 to move to 11-under for the 54-hole lead.
SNOW HILL � Day 3 of the Cutter Creek Golf Classic saw another shake up atop the leaderboard Saturday as former N.C. State standout Adam Hogue shot a 6-under 66 to move to 11-under for the 54-hole lead.
The 66 by Hogue marked the third day of the four-day tournament where a score of 6-under or better pushed a golfer to the top position on the board.
Brian Richey, who is tied for third at 9-under, posted the day�s other low round.
Hogue, who posted a 5-under on Thursday, started Saturday�s round by birdying hole No. 1 and scoring an eagle on the 545-yard, par-5 second hole en route to shooting his first bogey-free round of the tournament.
�I�m excited, I�ve never really been in this position before,� he said of the prospect of winning his first tour event. �This week I�ve really work on course management. You have to miss it in the right spots, because if you miss it on the wrong side of the whole around here you�re going to have to work really hard.�
While course officials were worried late Friday afternoon about the potential for firm greens for the weekend rounds, morning showers started about halfway through Hogue�s round.
�We didn�t really have rain until the 10th hole, so we were able to get off to a good start before the bad weather came,� he said.
Tennessee native Hunter Green will be paired with Hogue during today�s final round. Green is the only golfer to post three rounds of scores in the 60s. He sits at 10-under for the tournament after posting a 3-under 69 on Saturday.
Green�s round included six birdies, but a trio of bogeys, including a pair to close out the front nine, kept him from a share of the lead. However, he did shot his best score of the week on the back nine, including three birdies and no holes over par.
�I�ve been getting off to a rough start every day,� Green said of his troubles on the first nine holes. �There were a lot of holes out there that you couldn�t birdie today, I had some good chances and I finally made some putts on the backside.�
Thirteen golfers will start today�s final round within four shots of the lead, including a four-way tie for third place at 9-under. Of the six international players to make the cup, South Korean Jin Jeong (9-under through Round 3) and Canadian Ben Silverman (7-under) are the only two poised to make a run at the tournament championship.

Drake didn't head straight to his next tour stop like some artists do after his show Saturday at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park. The "Best I Ever Had" rapper kept the party going in the Chicago-area that night an the night after that.
Drake hosted his after party at V Live in Logan Square Saturday and, according to the video above (Warning: Language is NSFW), performed for the crowd.
"I'm (going to) let you know, I can honestly say tonight was like the greatest show I've ever had in my life, so if you were there, I appreciate you," Drake told the V Live crowd, "And I said to myself, I'm (going to) come to this club, but I'm not just going to stand up here and drink and act too cool. We about to have a (expletive) party tonight."
Apparently not everyone on hand for the scheduled appearance was a Drake fan. Someone in the crowd threw something (I'm guessing a drink or ice) at Drake around the 4:30 mark in the video. It could have gotten really ugly if not for the fact that he and his entourage didn't know who threw it.
"I wish you would point yourself out, I really do," Drake said. "I'd come down there and (mess) you up myself. I wish you would, but of course not."
On Sunday, Drake started his night with dinner at Sunda. He ordered the Miso cod and drank Hennessy VS and Red Bull. After that, he headed to The Underground, where he ordered 10 bottles and partied until around 3 a.m.
Where did he stay while in the Chicago-area? I'm not sure, but he did name drop The Elysian hotel in the Gold Coast on The Game's "Good Girls Go Bad" before it became the Waldorf Astoria. For those who haven't heard the song, Drake raps "Good evenin', I'm in Chicago at the Elysian with some girls who say they models but, hmmm, I don't believe 'em."
(UPDATED: Drake was seen leaving the Peninsula hotel and watching basketball at Bull & Bear Monday.)
Drake's next show is Tuesday in Memphis, so it's possible he'll stay in Chicago Monday. Who knows? Maybe you'll see him out having lunch or shopping. I saw him walk into Barney's New York in the Gold Coast two years ago. Drake seems to roll about five to seven deep, so he's pretty hard to miss.

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported on a major change at the paper recently:
LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas Democrat-Gazette executive editor Griffin Smith announced Monday that he is leaving the post effective Tuesday.
Smith, speaking to the newsroom, said there was no single factor in his resignation, adding he knew it was the "right time." In his address to several dozen employees in the paper's downtown headquarters, Smith thanked the staff and publisher Walter Hussman.
"It's been a tremendous privilege to work here with him and with all of you at this newspaper," he said.
Hussman said the paper will not hire a new executive editor for the "foreseeable future." Managing editor David Bailey will lead the newsroom.
Bailey, who called Smith "intellectually brilliant" and a good friend, indicated he didn't plan major changes in the day-to-day operations of the newsroom.
"It's a really wonderful institution," Bailey said. "It's a wonderful institution because it takes great pains to report very accurately and very carefully and to do so with authority and credibility. I don't think that's something you tamper with."
So what does that have to do with the Godbeat? Well, Frank Lockwood, the religion editor at the paper -- aka Bible Belt Blogger, has some insight, having served under him for a while. He notes that Smith's grandfather and father were also journalists and attorneys and that the grandfather was a newspaper publisher before becoming chief justice of the Arkansas Supreme Court. Frank fills in some details here:
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette's executive editor announced his resignation this week after nearly 20 years of service.
Before leading Arkansas' statewide paper, Griffin was one of the founding journalists at Texas Monthly, a writer at National Geographic (writing those great big stories that they run on Guatemala and China, for example).
He is an attorney and a former White House speech writer (for Jimmy Carter.)
Griffin is a big believer in the importance of religion coverage, a big fan of Terry Mattingly's column and a journalist who really got religion.
While other papers were eliminating the religion beat, he remained committed to offering weekly religion pages.
And he committed resources to the religion beat, dispatching a reporter to the last two Episcopal Church triennial conventions and continuing to send reporters to the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention.
By the end, reporters from secular publications had all but disappeared at SBC gatherings, but Griffin felt it was important to cover the SBC in the Bible Belt. So the Democrat-Gazette kept sending a reporter.
Griffin found a way for my predecessor to travel to the Vatican in 2005. And, when the Pope died, she was there to cover his death and the election of Pope Benedict.
He gave big coverage to the split in the Anglican communion, instantly sensing its importance. Likewise, he understood the news value when an Episcopal diocese in northern Michigan elected a "Buddhist bishop." Ultimately, the Democrat-Gazette was able to report that Kevin Thew Forrester had been defeated several days before the Episcopal Church made the announcement.
Griffin understands this state and its people and he has great news judgment.
Let me share some circulation figures from 1992, the year Griffin became editor here.
I hope I've typed all these correctly. (I used the 1994 World Almanac to get the older data.) You'll notice a trend or two:
Standard (non-branded) print circulation statistics (Sep. 30, 1992) and March 31, 2012
Arkansas Democrat-Gazette 176,741 175,276 Detroit Free Press 580,372 132,635 San Francisco Chronicle 556,765 165,523 Miami Herald 404,679 167,057 St. Louis Post Dispatch 339,545 169,608 Orange County Register 332,164 162,921 Boston Herald 330,614 103,616 Atlanta Constitution 302,616 163,607 Fort Worth Star-Telegram 256,199 136,624 Louisville Courier-Journal 236,103 136,766 Kansas City Star 287,119 163,697 New Orleans Times-Picayune 269,639 133,577 Baltimore Sun 227,706 136,708 Oklahoma City Oklahoman 210,004 116,350
There are a few things worth noting. Most religion reporters these days are battling against innumerable pressures. They're being asked to do more with much fewer resources than even a few years ago. Many editors are completely axing religion beats or failing to see the importance of having an educated reporter on that beat. When you have an editor who does see the value in the beat, it can make all the difference.
And those circulation numbers are fascinating, no?
