Reduce fat and tone up your muscle definition with the Marcy Vibro Plate.
A 10 minute session is equivalent to a one hour workout in the gym and can burn up to 350 calories, meaning the vibration training is fast, simple, safe and effective training tool for improving fitness and health.
It generates vibrations that are transferred to your body and when you're using it you'll notice that your body automatically responds with a stretch reflex, causing the muscle to involuntarily contract.
There are 6 speed settings and a manual mode to chose from that are great for improving strength, circulation, flexibility, metabolism, fitness, posture, reducing cellulite and stimulating bloodflow, bone density, lymph drainage, fat combustion. Lowers cholesterol and boosts happy hormone serotonin, as well as repairing damaged tissue.
It can also be used to help with aches and pains or as an effective warm-down after intensive exercise.
The large, non-slip footplates offer stability and the large LCD displays speed, time and body fat readouts.
Useful info:
- 6 speed settings and manual mode
- 3 workout programmes
- Large LCD display
- Large non-slip footplates
- Max user weight 120kg (19st)
- Input voltage 220v / 50Hz
- Power output 1.5Hp (1200w)

MARCY helpline: 01159 820122
Please note: the footplate rocks up and down each side. This is a really effective motion for vibration exercise, but it can create some noise. Adjust the feet to meet the floor to minimise this noise. To further reduce this, try using your Vibro Plate on our high impact flooring – KP153.

TEAMS: Los Angeles Angels, Texas Rangers, St. Louis Cardinals
Despite his admiration for Albert Pujols, former St. Louis Cardinals manager Tony La Russa wouldn't have given the power-hitting first baseman a 10-year contract. La Russa told "ESPN First Take" on Wednesday that any agreement beyond six years comes with significant risk, and sided with his former employers, who let Pujols walk. "I don't think 10 years was a smart move for the Cardinals," La Russa said. "I think Albert is perfect -- I call him Albert P. Pujols for Albert Perfect Pujols -- but I don't think that I would ever endorse a contract beyond six years, tops." La Russa added that he wasn't second-guessing the Los Angeles Angels' decision to sign him to a $254-million deal because Pujols is "a great franchise player, so it makes sense for them." La Russa, who retired after leading the Cardinals to a World Series Championship in 2011, was responding to a question about whether free-agent-to-be Josh Hamilton des...

Melissa Gorga wants to make the leap from reality TV star to bona fide movie actress. All About The Real Housewives reported on Wednesday, Jan. 8, that the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star told an entertainment insider that she needs to be included in the new "Entourage" movie.
When Mark Nelson tweeted about a casting in Miami for the film adaptation of the TV show "Entourage," Melissa was quick to respond.
"I need to be in this movie! Best show ever!!" she replied.
When Mark sent a tweet to the twitter account of the anticipated movie, telling them that Melissa would be great in it, Melissa responded again to show how excited she is about the movie.
Unfortunately for Melissa, the official twitter account for "Entourage" has yet to reply to her.
While the "Real Housewives of New Jersey" star hasn't shown much interest in an acting career before, she has made it known wide and clear that she wants a music career. On Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live," she revealed that she's working with a new music manager, a manager who has worked with Justin Timberlake, Akon and the Jonas Brothers. She even said that she's not too old to be strutting her stuff on stage, pointing out that she's 10 years younger than Jennifer Lopez.
Do you think Melissa Gorga has what it takes to be a real actress?

Re: Happiest/Saddest/Angriest times of being a sports fan?
Happiest - Seeing England beat Scotland at Euro 96 at Wembley. I remember you had to apply for tickets for games prior to knowing the matches (it was before the draw) and i couldnt believe that i'd got England/Scotland tickets!! It was a magic day and a great game. My other one was seeing Derby finally win a play off final, and it being the first one at the new Wembley!!
Saddest - The following season from that play off final win where we got 1 WIN all bloody season!! God that was depressing!! On a personal level the Hillsborough disaster will stick with me as the saddest. As a young girl in my very early teens i loved Liverpool and so did my best friend who was a season ticket holder and her and her family managed to get three tickets. However, 1 couldn't go on that fateful day so she asked if i wanted the ticket. I, of course, said yes only to be ill that day. (fate?) She stood at the Leppings lane end of the ground, in that middle pen with her dad, and still wonders how she got out. She cant remember hardly any of it, but she had to have counselling for many years after and has never gone to another match. I believe she knew 2 or 3 people (just from going to games) who never made it home. The last couple of days really have brought those memories flooding back.
Angriest- THAT Sun headline. I knew it was lies right from the start, but shows how powerful the media still is that many people believed them. I hate The Sun with a passion and refuse to buy it!! On a footballing level! When Derby sold Tom Huddlestone to Spurs for a pittance i was bloody livid!! It was so idiotic as we were on the verge of promotion ourselves!! Also, on a smaller scale, being 5-2 in injury time in this year league cup only to lose on penalties after a 5-5 draw!!

No. 429 Squadron
Motto: FORTUNAE NIHIL - "Nothing to chance"
No. 429 Squadron formed at East Moor in Yorkshire on 7 November 1942 and was equipped with Vickers Wellington Mk IIIs. It began operations with this type in January 1943 as part of No. 6 Group, operating by night over Europe on bombing and mining missions. In August 1943 it moved to Leeming where it re-equipped with Handley Page Halifax Mk I, resuming operations in September. Augmented by Mk Vs, these were flown regularly night by night on bombing raids until March 1944, when the more powerful Halifax Mk III replaced them. This version bore the brunt of No. 429's war, putting in a full year's operations during the very heavy raids which were the culmination of Bomber Command's wartime attack on Germany. In March 1945 No. 429 re-equipped with Avro Lancaster Mk Is and Mk IIIs, and used these briefly on operations before the war in Europe ended. Thereafter the squadron remained in Bomber Command, flying POW repatriation duties and normal exercises until disbanding at Leeming on 31 May 1946.
Reformed as a Tactical Transport unit at St Hubert (Montreal), Quebec on 21 August 1967, the squadron flew Buffalo aircraft for the Canadian Forces Mobile Command. On 1 February 1968 was integrated into the Canadian Armed Forces as the Air Navigation and Instrument rating squadron of the Canadian Forces and was based at CFB Winnipeg and flew the CC-130 Hercules aircraft. In August 1981 is was renamed 429 Transport Squadron and soon after moved to CFB Winnipeg.
In 1990 it moved to CFB Trenton where it flew the CC-130 Hercules transport. No. 429 was latter combined with No. 437 Squadron and was disbanded and as an operational squadron.
In August 2007 No. 429 Squadron was again re-activated this time as the CF's first Strategic Transport Squadron operating the CC-177 Globemaster III strategic transport aircraft.
Battle Honours:
English Channel and North Sea 1943-1945, Baltic 1943-1945, Fortress Europe 1943-1944, France and Germany 1944-1945, Biscay Ports 1943-1944, Ruhr 1943-1944, Berlin 1943-1944, German Ports 1943-1945, Normandy 1944, Biscay 1943-1944

Something about #OWS reminds me of Harvey Dinnerstein's painting 'The Parade' (from 1972) which was inspired by protests he'd witnessed in the 1960's. In 1976, I visited Dinnerstein in his studio on the top floor of his Brooklyn brownstone. This painting hung in his dining room then. Harvey was born in 1928. He studied with Moses Soyer. He taught at SVA and the National Academy of Design. In the mid fifties he travelled South to record in drawing scenes from the Civil Rights movement. He is a kind and gentle man, a great painter and a great inspiration. I appreciate Harvey immensely for showing us how to be true to our convictions and how to live an artists life.

One Night in SF—Where Would You Go?
- loratliff Oct 4, 2013 01:25 PM
We are unexpectedly heading to SFO next week and while one night's dinner is taken care of, we have one free night. Budget is about $125 for two people after tax + tip, so not necessarily cheap eats, but not breaking the bank either.
We like all kinds of food, although my SO is the not the biggest fan of Vietnamese and Indian—otherwise good ethnic (especially anything we can't find here in NYC) is appreciated.
It's been almost three years since we were in SF, but last time we enjoyed Flour & Water, Foreign Cinema, Slanted Door, and Rosamunde, among others.
re: Robert Lauriston
Izakaya Yuzuki will be tough at a budget of $125 for two people including tax + tip. It's very easy to spend $200+ on dinner for two there. Well worth it, though.
re: Robert Lauriston
Unless you mean that Yuzuki is of an unparalleled quality not available elsewhere, NYC has like a gazillion izakaya places.
I still say Nopa, if you have only one night.
re: dunstable
Yuzuki's not typical izakaya food. I don't know that NYC has anything like it.
re: Robert Lauriston
Well, Yuzuki may be my favorite here in SF but in NYC for things just as good or better you can go to Omen, Blue Ribbon Sushi, Kyoya, Rosanjin, Sugiyama. And that's what I know of even without knowing about whatever the newest wave of additions is out there.
I'm afraid NYC has us beat in this department.
re: pauliface
Yes, I live right down the street from Blue Ribbon Sushi so I think we'll skip izakaya in SF.
Keeping tabs on all of the other suggestions so far—thanks!
re: pauliface
Are those places using koji and making their own tofu and miso from scratch?
re: Robert Lauriston
You know, I kind of regret my previous posting. I'm just missing some of my NYC favorites at the moment.
Go to Yuzuki, especially if you are partial to Japanese food.
I'd certainly I'd pick it before anything else yet mentioned on this thread.
loratiff, since you know Blue Ribbon, I can perhaps put Yuzuki in context for you. If you were to go to Blue Ribbon and ignore the sushi/sashimi on the menu, and instead put together a dinner from all the other parts of the menu, it would begin to resemble a yuzuki dinner.
But the cooking at Yuzuki is more refined, (yet highly soulful in a japanese way). More like omen at its peak than Blue Ribbon. Have you had the set course at omen? It tends to begin with a little trio of appetizers? This resembles what would be the first item on Yuzuki's menu, which is always a little trio of dishes.
P.S. Sugiyama has had housemade sesame tofu as part of their dinner in the past. Don't know about the Koji. I can say that Omen has the best assorted pickle (tsukemono) plate. Better even than Yuzuki's koji pickles, although I have been to Omen since the rise of Yuzuki; I will be at omen soon and I can report back on that claim.
Forgot to mention that State Bird Provisions would have been my first choice, but it says they are closed until early October. Anyone know when they'll be reopening?
Also, Rich Table but no reservations available. (I know that's a stretch with the amount I gave, but that's not hard and fast for the right place.)
re: loratliff
How about AQ or Bar Jules?
re: karenfinan
Hard to do Aziza for $125 for two people any more...
The tasting menu for one is now $95.
Delfina, Bar Tartine are closer to $150 with a reasonably careful wine choice, but worth the slight over budget.
re: kellyransford
If Indian and Vitnamese are out, then don't see why Burmese would be in.
re: Civil Bear
For Burmese, I'd go to Mandalay over Burma Superstar. They're at least as good and they take reservations.
Just wanted to update... We only had two nights in San Francisco, but on the first night we were so exhausted that we ended up just eating downstairs at the hotel—Trace at the W. Pricey, like any hotel restaurant, but it was a satisfying meal and was better than we expected. I am disappointed that I didn't get to take advantage of the great and much appreciated recommendations here, but all the more reason to return soon.
Last night was the one dinner that was for sure planned—we went to Tosca, as we're friends of the house at the Bloomfield restaurants in NYC. It was great and I think they'll be tremendously successful.

Health & Parenting
Growth and Development, Ages 12 to 24 Months - Promoting Healthy Growth and Development
During ages 12 to 24 months, children learn and develop best in a caring and loving home from which they can safely explore and experience life. You can help nurture your child by knowing the challenges of toddlerhood, learning basic parenting techniques, and using behavior management strategies.
Physical growth and development
Promote your child's physical growth and development by:
- Adopting healthy eating strategies. Although picky eating is common during this age, a simple and relaxed approach to eating usually helps your child to eat well. Offer healthy foods at regular times. It may also help to set a pattern by being together at the table for all main meals. For more information on helping your child to eat well, see the topic Healthy Eating for Children.
- Seeing your doctor for all well-child exams. During these visits, the doctor will measure your child's growth to make sure he or she is on track. The doctor will also give your child any needed immunizations.
- Teaching healthy habits to help reduce your child's risk of infections.
Thinking, reasoning, and memory skills
Promote your child's thinking, reasoning, and memory skills (cognitive development) by:
- Building with blocks. Help your child learn to stack blocks and knock them down.
- Scribbling on paper. You can find washable and thick crayons and pencils that are made for a toddler's fisted grip.
- Playing with balls and other moving toys. Toddlers love to watch a rolling ball. It helps them learn to track objects and fosters eye-hand coordination.
- Finding toys he or she can turn, sort, pound, push, and pull. Examples include knobs, sort-by-shape toys, and thick-paged books.
Social and emotional development
Promote your child's social and emotional development by:
- Spending time with him or her. Make an extra effort to sit and play, read, and talk to your child. Don't worry too much about having "play dates" and organized activities for your child between the first and second birthdays. Children this age don't interact much with each other. Rather, they tend to play alone but near each other, a behavior called "parallel play." Your love and attention are the most important factors that help your child's social and emotional growth.
- Knowing about your child's individual temperament. Every child is different. Getting to know your child's personality helps you to predict and handle his or her reactions to everyday situations.
- Praising your child. When your child reacts well to a difficult situation, such as leaving the park without protest, tell him or her how proud you are. Although your child may not understand the exact meaning of your words, he or she will associate the positive behavior with your approval.
- Not responding to angry outbursts. When you react to a child's temper tantrum or similar behavior, it is more likely to continue. Unless your child's behavior is dangerous, ignore it (but stay nearby and soothe your child as needed). After the outburst is over, you can talk to your child calmly and reassure him or her that everything is okay. It is very important that you do not get angry or threaten to spank or hurt your child. Staying calm can sometimes be difficult. Keep in mind that you are the model for your child's behavior.

I saw you walk up and sit down at the bar, I got up to use the restroom and when I came back you were sitting in my seat.
Maybe that was your plan? I sat next to you and struck up a conversation. You were from out of town, visiting friends. I thought you were very attractive, but didn't get your name.

Libyan Trial of Bulgarians Postponed Again
The trial in Tripoli of six Bulgarians and a Palestinian who face the death penalty if found guilty of deliberately infecting nearly 400 Libyan children with AIDS has been postponed again, Bulgarian radio said Saturday.
The trial will resume on February 10. It is the eighth postponement since the trial opened in February last year.
Defence lawyers had asked for the adjournment because of the absence of the lawyer for the chief accused, a Palestinian doctor, the paper said.
The six Bulgarians, five nurses and a doctor, and the Palestinian doctor, stand accused of "triggering an AIDS epidemic by injecting contaminated products" and premeditated murder at a children's hospital in Benghazi.
They have all denied the charges. Two of the nurses initially admitted guilt but then withdrew their confessions saying these had been obtained under duress during police questioning.
Eight Libyans have been accused of "negligence" in the same case.
Bulgaria has been lobbying Egypt to support endeavors to ensure a fair and objective trial.
Bulgarian Foreign Ministry spokesman Radko Vlaikov has said the accusations were "absurd" since there were cases of AIDS transmission at the pediatric hospital where the accused worked, both before and after their time there -- SOFIA (AFP)

Out-of-towners might find the name "Washington Court House" a tad unusual. It's the name of our neighboring town (and county seat). Washington Court House was named in 1810 for the first president of the United States. While you're staying at our hotel in Jeffersonville, check out Washington Court House's courthouse, built in 1885. Make sure to inspect the seven bullet holes in the courthouse door, a souvenir from the Riot of 1894. Luckily, we haven't had that much drama since. We have, however, had a gorgeous museum open-the Fayette County Historical Society Museum guides visitors through the county's history. The Victorian-Italianate home in and of itself is a treasure worth seeing. Lastly, when you're ready for some modern-day pastimes, be sure to visit both Prime Outlets (adjacent to our hotel in Jeffersonville) and the Jeffersonville Outlet Mall.

Whatever the reason for your visit, we hope you'll enjoy these fun ways to relax and keep in shape.

I don't think I've ever felt this bad after going to a show. I went to see Jonathan Jones (We Shot The Moon/Waking Ashland) play tonight and was pretty excited about it. When my friend and I got to the venue there was like 30 people there and by the time he went on there was less. This is a venue that can hold like 300 people and everyone was just hanging out by the bar, no one by the stage. Even went he went on, my friend and I were the only people by the stage. I was the only person singing along, he kept asking what songs I wanted to hear, it was like we had a private concert. Some people might think this is cool, but the fact he came out to Long Island to play a show and to have no one show up is just so depressing. He's been at this like 10 years and his bands have been signed to labels like Tooth and Nail and The Militia Group and no one comes out? I mean he played fantastic and damn does he have a voice and he was so nice/gracious after. I loved watching him, but being the only person into it is just such a weird feeling. And I know he has fans because his kickstarter last year did so well and I know people who live elsewhere that listen to him. I guess it just hurts me since I'm used to going to sold out shows and to have an experience like this really puts things into perspective.
But honestly, go out and support the bands/musicians you like because if you skip the show, there might not be a next time.
Posting a video to spread awareness is cool as it is a horrible thing that's been going on for over 25 years and needs to be stopped, but Invisible Children is a joke of a charity. Hanging up posters isn't going to do shit but kill some trees. Most of the money they earn goes toward staff wages and other expenses. This campaign they're doing now "expires" on December 31, 2012. Causes shouldn't have an expiration date. The U.S. Government and other countries have been trying to stop the LRA for years with peace talks and other means, so these policy makers the video talks about are most likely aware of the situation. I'd suggest finding a better charity to donate to.
I'd also suggest reading this, which shows action is already being taken: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/10/15/world/africa/barack-obama-sending-100-armed-advisers-to-africa-to-help-fight-lords-resistance-army.html?_r=1
And this which is IC's financial statement for last year.
woke up with the urge to listen to All Time Low, probably haven't listened to them since summer. I miss how this band used to sound, Party Scene and So Wrong, It's Right are so good.

Discuss Solutions
What can we do to help older Americans who are struggling? The conversation has started—add your ideas on how we can improve programs and services around employment, nutrition, health, housing, and transportation for vulnerable seniors in your community.
Low Cost, Big Impact
Because of the high cost of living in California and a one-size-fits-all federal poverty measure, the official poverty rate leaves thousands of California seniors invisible to the public eye. These real people, our parents and grandparents, disappear on paper, caught in an "eligibility gap" with too much money to qualify for many public and private support programs but not enough to cover their most basic needs. Enter the Elder Economic Planning Act—a little-known bill to help seniors that was signed into law on Oct. 9.
Protect and Strengthen the Older Americans Act
The Older Americans Act (OAA) is a key vehicle to provide support that keep older adults healthy, independent, and engaged in their communities. Since 1965, the OAA has funded programs and services such as nutrition assistance, caregiver support, transportation, and more.
One Fall Away
Many of today's older adults are one fall away from physical and economic disaster. The good news is that falls are largely preventable and are not an inevitable part of aging. September 23 is the 4th annual Falls Prevention Awareness Day, dedicated to increasing awareness of falls as the leading cause of injury deaths and nonfatal injuries for those 65+.
Our Message to Congress: The Need is Real and It's Time to Act
More than 80 advocates joined the One Away campaign on Capitol Hill last week, as we premiered our third national video and launched our drive to have every member of Congress publicly support the Older Americans Act.
Keeping Our Loved Ones in the Community and Out of Nursing Homes
Emma has been caring for her 85 year old mother and 102 year old Gran for years. Several times each week they take the senior bus to the Josephine P. Argento Center, where they meet their friends for group exercise, lunch and of course bingo. Two days each week Gran goes to an adult day service program where she participates in all sorts of activities. These programs allow Emma to have a break from her caregiving duties, give them all a sense of independence and belonging and allow Emma's mom and Gran to remain in the community and out of nursing homes.
A Daughter's Struggle to Stay Afloat as Caregiving Resources Sink
Senior Services is proud to present its latest video, "A Daughter's Struggle to Stay Afloat as Caregiving Resources Sink." Listen to Lupe's story as she talks about her economic struggles and taking care of her mother with Alzheimer's disease. Female caregivers will lose an average of over $300,000 in lost wages, retirement benefits, and Social Security when they leave their jobs to take care of a loved one.
Support for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren
When we talk about caregiving issues with respect to aging, most often people are referring to seniors caring for their spouses or older family members. However, as I read the numerous One Away postcards, I am reminded of the hundreds of struggling seniors who are caring for young adults and children. Dozens of these stories are from seniors who are already living with such extreme limited incomes yet are stretching their dollars to help raise their grandchildren and even great-grand children.
We're Taking Your Stories to Capitol Hill!
Thanks to our 4,000+ One Away supporters, we have quite a story to tell Congress this month! One Away will be taking your real stories of struggle directly to Capitol Hill—and asking members of Congress to act. You're invited to join us for this special event.
Do you know a Rosie?
Per a previous blog post by my colleague Ali Cherry, Giving voice to more older adults. Will you help? on August 5th, I wanted to share my thoughts on one particular postcard that caught my attention.
Transportation as an afterthought
Older non-drivers--who often are low-income--make far fewer excursions outside the home than their driving counterparts, a fact that can lead to social isolation. For these seniors, affordable, accessible transportation options in their communities are essential to maintaining their health and independence.

Heya Maangchi,
I had a question, your last podcast on itunes is cut short. It ends abruptly after you add the salt, was that on purpose so we would have to come to the website. *wink* :P :) Also I noticed that the picture quality on the podcast is worse, or maybe I need new glasses...*sigh* :) My husband used your recipe to make meukguk after the baby was born. :) It was so good, and my mom was happy, since she couldn't be there right after the birth. Thank you. :)

Jason Flegel,Product ManagerJason loves to travel, eat ice cream, and take long walks on the beach (but only sandy beaches -- those rocky beaches aren't really his thing. Really, what is a rocky beach compared to a nice sandy one? This one time, in Nice, he had to pay 20 euro for the 'pleasure' of stubbing his toes on a rocky beach; he was not amused). When he's not frolicking on the beach, this travel writer-turned-techie works with Gogobot's engineering team to deliver users the best website and app experience.
Julia Pond,Managing EditorJulia is slowly making her way around world capitals, having called New York, Rome, and London home, with Bogota in all likelihood up next.

Quickly promoted to Editorial Assistant, then Associate Editor, Julia is now Managing Editor. She also reviews dance for East London Radio between trips to India, South America, and San Francisco.

Aside from adding stamps to her passport (38 countries and counting), she is a professional dancer.
Alix Farr,Editorial AssistantAlix is a writer with a background in journalism and international relations who believes in the power of travel and communications to connect people across borders and, in turn, make the world a generally more pleasant place to live. Before landing at Gogobot, she spent five years in Peru working with non-profits and as a reporter/editor. She is a passionate llama enthusiast and marks as her most proud life moment the time she was kicked out of a Lima hotel for trying to "find" and "interview" (read: "stalk" and "gush over") Shakira.
Eunice Lee,Office Manager & HR GeneralistEunice takes excellent care of the entire Gogobot staff, worldwide. No task too great or small, her infectious smile and constant storytelling keeps morale up. The Bay Area native wears multiple hats at Gogobot, managing day-to-day office operations and HR duties.

When he is not hiking with his wife and cheering on the Los Angeles Lakers, he is feverishly writing code at Gogobot and enhancing the user experience on web and mobile.

Which one international or regional cuisine are you next interested in learning...
how to cook?
I realize many of us are interested in many cuisines, but if you had to pick one... Say if I were going to treat you to classes, and you had to make a decision.
What intrigues you about the one you've cited?
I've had a desire to learn something about Spanish/Spanish regional cuisine(s). I'm curious about it/them, because I know there's got to be more to the subject than tapas, jamon, Manchega and olives, but that's all I ever seem to hear about in the general media.
I am starting to delve into Singaporean and Malaysian which are both fairly remote and exotic options where I live. From what I can tell, they seem to take the best of Southeast Asian and Chinese cuisines and turn them into a spicy, flavorful amalgam, which I could see easily turning into comfort food for me.
I'm good with the basics of Thai, Indian, Japanese (well, just sushi, really,) Chinese, Mexican (and I'm talking moles,) Eastern US (real*) bbq pork parts, and a few others I'm forgetting, BUT, what I really wanna get into is BBQ brisket - The Texas stuff.
By real, I just mean wood smoke, not implying that eastern bbq is the only real bbq
Have you seen One the Road Again? Really lovely. The seafood, the wine!
Ghanaian cuisine. I just found a Ghanaian restaurant listing close to me, going to check it out and get cookin'! Oto, Fufu, Red-Red...
I've enjoyed seeing your answers and then going on the Web to read about some of these cuisines. So I just wanted to thank those of you who have responded.
It's a fascinating thing, to think about one food item and then consider all the different things that various cultures can do with that one item.
Living in the Houston area most of my life I have always been familiar with Mexican cooking. Lately with the large Vietnamese population in the city I have become a huge fan of Vietnamese. I would really like to learn how to prepare more of the dishes at home.
For me it's definitely Indian. I think the cuisine is magical and I love experiencing so many different flavors in one meal. It all ingrigues me -cooking with all the different spices and using different cooking techniques with them, roasting and grinding or frying and leaving them whole in the dish. The heat and the sweetness of different chutney's and pickles and the cooling from riata and how each of these flavors interact with the meal. All the different types of breads, roti, chapati, puri and poppadoms. Basmati. There is no rice more beautiful or fragrant than Basmati. The sweetness and floral flavors of drinks like Shabat made with Rooh Afza and Kheer made with rosewater.
I'm happiest when I'm cooking a big Indian meal to share with friends and family introducing them to these wonderful flavors.

Abstract—Java-enabled wireless devices are preferred for various reasons. For example, users can dynamically download Java applications on demand. The dynamic download capability supports extensibility of the mobile client features and centralizes application maintenance at the server. Also, it enables service providers to customize features for the clients. In this work, we extend this client-server collaboration further by offloading some of the computations (i.e., method execution and dynamic compilation) normally performed by the mobile client to the resource-rich server in order to conserve energy consumed by the client in a wireless Java environment. In the proposed framework, the object serialization feature of Java is used to allow offloading of both method execution and bytecode-to-native code compilation to the server when executing a Java application. Our framework takes into account communication, computation, and compilation energies to decide where to compile and execute a method (locally or remotely), and how to execute it (using interpretation or just-in-time compilation with different levels of optimizations). As both computation and communication energies vary based on external conditions (such as the wireless channel state and user supplied inputs), our decision must be done dynamically when a method is invoked. Our experiments, using a set of Java applications executed on a simulation framework, reveal that the proposed techniques are very effective in conserving the energy of the mobile client.

ARLINGTON, Tex. (WTAQ) - The battle for the Vince Lombardi Trophy is taking place as the Pittsburgh Steelers square off against the Green Bay Packers in Super Bowl XLV at Cowboys Stadium.
The Packers third drive of the game took them 80 yards in 9 plays, capped by an Aaron Rodgers to Jordy Nelson 29 yard TD pass on a go route, beating William Gay.
On the next offensive play, Nick Collins intercepts an underthrown pass by Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger and returns it 37 yards for a touchdown. Packers led 14-0 after 1st quarter.
Steelers kicker Shaun Suisham kicked a 33-yard FG, capping a 13 play, 49 yard drive.
Later in the 2nd quarter, Rodgers found Greg Jennings down the middle for a 21 yard TD pass. It came on a short drive after Jarrett Bush intercepted Roethlisberger in Packers territory.
Inside the 2 minute warning, Roethlisberger engineers a 7 play, 77 yard drive which culminates with an 8 yard TD pass to Hines Ward.
The Packers begin the second half without cornerback Charles Woodson, who's lost for the game with a collarbone injury. The Steelers lost wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders to an ankle injury for the game.
After the Packers went 3-and-out on opening drive, the Steelers marched 50 yards in 5 plays, capped by an 8 yard TD run by Rashard Mendenhall.
The Packers then turn a 3rd Steelers turnover, a Rashard Mendenhall fumble, into a 55 yard, 8 play drive capped by an 8 yard TD pass from Rodgers to Greg Jennings. The Pack has scored 21 points off those 3 turnovers.
Then the Steelers drove 66 yards in 7 plays, capped by a 25 yard TD pass from Roethlisberger to Mike Wallace. Pittsburgh then successfully went for two, on a pitch out to Antwaan Randle El.
The Packers follow up with a 10 play, 70 yard drive, which is capped by a Mason Crosby 23 yard field goal. The Packers lead 31-25 in the 4th quarter.
You can listen to the game right now on 97.5/1360 News Talk WTAQ.

USA renews 'White Collar'
USA Network has said yes to more Matt Bomer. (And who wouldn't?)
The network announced today that it has renewed White Collar for a six-episode sixth season. The studio declined to say whether the season would be the series's last.
Meanwhile, USA has also picked up Rush, a drama written and produced by Warm Bodies director Jonathan Levine, and Complications, a drama from Burn Notice creator Matt Nix. Both shows are slated for 10-episode runs.
Rush stars Tom Ellis as a party-loving doctor named William Rush who is a master of discretion and the go-to for hush-hush medical needs. Meanwhile, Complications is a medical drama/action series starring Jason O'Mara as a doctar whose outlook on medicine is transformed after a drive-by shooting incident requires him to make a rash decision.
USA announces premiere dates for 'Psych', 'White Collar,' 'Suits,' and more
Matt Bomer may not be playing Christian Grey, but he'll be back on your television soon.
The actor's show, White Collar, will return Thursday, Jan. 9 at 9 p.m. ET, the network announced today. USA also announced return dates for several of its other popular shows.
Psych will return for its eighth season Wednesday, Jan 8. at 9:00 p.m. ET. This season will feature guest stars Mira Sorvino, Phylicia Rashad, Kristy Swanson, Anthony Michael Hall, Tom Arnold, Billy Zane, Loretta Devine, Bruce Campbell, and Cary Elwes.
Steven Pasquale to guest on 'White Collar' -- EXCLUSIVE
He had two personalities on his short-lived NBC drama Do No Harm, but we presume Steven Pasquale (Rescue Me) will be playing just one role when he pop us on White Collar this season. He's set to appear in one of season 5's final five episodes as Conrad Worth, a rogue stock broker who sees an opportunity to exploit the world of high-frequency trading on Wall Street, EW has learned. Most recently, Pasquale starred in a limited-run Off Broadway musical adaptation of Todd Haynes' 2002 film Far From Heaven.
Season 5 of White Collar premieres Thursday, Oct. 17 at 9 p.m. ET on USA.
'Suits': Max Beesley talks Stephen's bathroom brawl with Harvey, 'legitimate feelings' for Donna
While fans await the courtroom fireworks on tonight's episode of Suits (USA, 10 p.m. ET), now that Harvey (Gabriel Macht) knows Stephen (Max Beesley) orchestrated the murders that oil tycoon Ava (Michelle Fairley) stands accused of ordering, we're still obsessed with last week's bathroom brawl between Harvey and Stephen.
"Stephen's referenced quite a few times as being a rugby player and someone who could be dangerous, so obviously he couldn't be a complete walkover. However, Harvey is Harvey. There can only be one winner physically," Beesley says, chuckling. "So the old ego had to take a backseat there."
While they filmed Stephen throwing a few more punches than he ended up landing in the final cut, Huntley was happy with the way the scene turned out: "The audience has always got Harvey's back. It made sense story-wise for him to come out on top. And it was really good to do something [physical] like that, because I don't think the show shows a lot of that. It ups all the tension between Harvey and Stephen for the next episode."
Unlike most of his previous roles, Beesley didn't know "fixer" Stephen's full arc when he signed on to Suits.
'Burn Notice: Behind the Burn': 'This is how I find out that my best friend is still alive?' -- EXCLUSIVE VIDEO
Before Burn Notice's hundredth episode tonight, check out our exclusive video from USA with a behind-the-scenes look at the episode, which was directed by star Jeffrey Donovan. You'll learn how Donovan (Michael), Gabrielle Anwar (Fiona), and the show's creator, Matt Nix, decided what to include in the flashbacks of when Michael and Fiona first met (hint: explosions and some butt-kicking). As Sharon Gless points out, when the show first started it had been ten years since Fiona had seen Michael and now it's been almost a year.
There's also a tease for one of the episode's most emotional and dramatic scenes: the reunion of Michael and his mother (who, you know, is partially responsible for him being in trouble in the first place).
Check out interviews with the cast, a look at what went into the Irish pub flashbacks, and a pretty sweet 100th episode cake in the video below:
'Burn Notice': Jeffrey Donovan teases season 7 premiere -- EXCLUSIVE PROMO
When season 7 of Burn Notice picks up nine months after last season's finale, Michael Westen (Jeffrey Donovan) is deep undercover and far away from his friends back in Miami. When we chatted with Donovan about the premiere, we asked him if this was the darkest we've seen his character.
"Absolutely," he responded. "One of the show's conceit[s] was Michael had to compartmentalize his feelings to protect himself and survive, not only as a spy but as a child. The first time we're seeing him this year we're gonna pull that layer away and expose how he feels."
Speaking of how he feels, last season's dramatic final scene between Fiona and Michael left many fans worried. They're not together when the show picks up, but Donovan teases that the season "pulls them together" over the next 13 episodes. However, he didn't reveal if that meant as a couple or as friends.
Given that this is the show's final season, we had to ask Donovan where he hoped Michael would end up. "That's a difficult question to answer, because I think that Michael truly wants what's best for the people he cares about not for himself. But I think that if Michael left this family of Sam, Mom, and Fi they would be unhappy. So he wants to be in their lives but he knows that him being in their lives tortures them. So it's a difficult conflict."
Burn Notice's final season premieres tonight at 9 p.m. ET. Next week will be the show's 100th episode which is also directed by Donovan. Watch a special promo for the season below:
'Psych': Guest star Christopher Lloyd talks the 'Clue'-inspired 100th episode
Great Scott! Psych has reached episode number 100!
And how better to celebrate the milestone for the oft-'80s-referencing, wacky USA Network show than to salute a wacky '80s movie? Psych's 100th episode, which airs tonight, fully embraces its Clue theme, complete with guest stars plucked right from the 1985 film: Lesley Ann Warren (Clue's Miss Scarlet), Martin Mull (Colonel Mustard), and Christopher Lloyd (Professor Plum).
In Psych's nod to the cult classic, Shawn and Gus are invited to a mysterious party at a historic Santa Barbara mansion. Not long after they arrive and meet their fellow guests, there's a deadly crime to solve, and five suspects emerge: the Butler, the Groupie, the Manager, the Author, and the Host.
The Clue theme is a good fit for Psych, not just because the show has mystery-solving and crime-fighting at its core, but because the comedy of each is very similar: farcical, frenetic, somehow pulling off a combo of being both delightfully over-the-top and packed with some solid deadpanning.

Terrelle Pryor, Oakland Raiders quarterback is certainly a player has way more talent and determination than expected. He is an underdog to say the least. In the preseason, he showed just how much talent he packed and gave quite a surprise to everyone and even the coaches when he came on top of veteran Matt Flynn to win the starting quarterback role from him this season. it wasn't only the preseason that went well for him. He played exceptionally well and at a professional level for all the starting five weeks of NFL regular season 2013.
He has shown talent, sportsmanship, determination and ability to evolve. He might be just in his rookie years but sure knows which way he must go. He has asked renowned pitching coach Tom House to help him develop his skill set to another level.
Tom House isn't just an ordinary coach. He was a relief pitcher for a total of eight years for the Atlanta Braves, Boston Red Sox and Seattle Mariners. He is now a top name in coaching quarterbacks and specializes in training them. And Terrelle Pryor isn't the only one who has sought his help. House has been approached and trained people like Tim Tebow, Drew Brees, Tom Brady, Joe Flacco and Carson Palmer.
Even though Tebow fell way low and that might marr House's reputation, it was actually the reason that Pryor contacted him. He wanted to remain well away from the downfall that Tebow had.
"Tebow looked great, he was throwing the ball great, wasn't missing anything," he said. "Then they said he went to [training] camp, and when he went back, he reverted back to himself because [that's] when the bullets are flying at you."
It has been going good for Pryor so far. He is ranked at the fourth place by ESPN.com with a 72.7 completion percentage. He isn't just giving a good performance; he is improving with each one and is giving better and better results. His passing is refining into professional levels as time is passing by.
Pryor may be getting ever better with time but he still needs to work on his passing skills. Even though his statistics are going strong, he can get a little muddled sometimes and confuse his plays. His play calling and movement on the field needs to improve.
But he knows his errors. That is why he has gone to House who knows how to resolve these issues. If he gets a handle on these problems then he can certainly contend to be a top quarterback in NFL at a very early start in his career.
Terrelle Pryor is evolving into a star quarterback for Raiders
