PlateTopper: Makes Saving a Plate Easier (& Greener)
For six years I worked in retail management and when it came to the holidays, I was rarely around at the same time my family gathered to have dinner. They would try to save me a plate, but it by the time I got to it, the plastic wrap-smushed food had lost a lot of its original appeal. This new Kickstarter project (which goes into production in just a few hours!) would have been a help. Want to see how this new lid and plastic wrap alternative works? Check out the video right this way:
The idea is simple. Plastic wrap and foil are kind of sucky. Likewise, reusable containers don't always hold an entire meal and they involve the transferring of product from a plate to the container itself. This new creation is a BPA-free lid that suctions to your original dinner plate.
You can check out the video above to see it in action. You literally press and it's sealed up. We're thinking it would be extra awesome on items that are sensitive to taking on other smells in your refrigerator or giving off said smells. It would also be great for snacks left out on the counter (because if you're like me you've been baking cookies for the last two weeks and a batch never lasts for more than a day).
• Get one: A donation of $20 will get you one in your color choice shipped free (with a few exclusions) and we're sure they'll be hitting stores near you in the next year.
We love products where there truly is a demand, but I'm curious, would it work as well in your kitchen? Would you have need to send a plate of food home with a friend? Save a plate for later? Let us know below!

looks quite clever. I hate saran wrap more and more all the time, and an alternative like this is pretty appealing.
I often use an upside down bowl to cover my leftovers on the plate I just used rather than putting them in a separate tupperware and dirtying another dish. This seems like it would be less likely to slide around and would be a bit more air tight (though I've never had a particular problem with just using bowls).
Awesome! Just pledged. I would use this quite a bit. Maybe not to send neighbors home with leftovers, but certainly for baked goods - those last few biscuits or cookies.
Clever but I don't know that I'd ever buy something like that.
There are so many other options that work just fine without buying another item, a bowl like foodefafa says or a domed lid from a pan or if you already own one of those microwave plate covers or any dish that already has a cover (glass-lock, pyrex, etc.) or a cloche (I snap up cheese board cloches at the thrift store and use them for covering baked goods).
I like the idea, but like Slow Lorus I'm pretty sure I wouldn't use it. You don't have to move a meal off of a plate if you never moved it onto the plate in the first place (which seems like what should happen if you know someone will be late).
I could see myself using it for cookies, quick breads, and other things that sit out on the counter, but I don't want to have to keep it around the kitchen just for that.
That is a nifty idea, but I wonder how well the seal works when the edge of the plate is messy.
Would not work for me - there are other bisphenols and endocrine-disruptors in plastics, and some of them are worse than BPA! For example Environmental Health Perspectives Journal tested 450 plastic bottles bought from retailers and 95% of of them leached BPA-like substances. I bring my Tiffins and Pyrex with me, they are easy to wash and they last a long time!
I work very close to home, and I like to actually fix a plate after dinner to take with me the next day. This would be so much nicer, for storage and travel, than the press-and-seal I'm using now. Pledging!

They were easy and yummy! The yolk from the egg made the potato moist and flavorful. I added green onions, cheddar cheese, and some milk. I might add sour cream next time to help keep them from being too dry. Will be making these again!!

Need Help Fast with Baked Potatoes
- l
- lucienne78 Sep 4, 2007 01:23 PM
OK, so here is my dilemma (at least for me who doesn't cook too much). I'm making a meatloaf tonight that cooks on 325 degrees for 1 hour 30 - 45 minutes. I'm also making baked potatoes, but don't these have to cook on a much higher temp - like 425?? Should I just put the potatoes in right when I put the meatloaf in? I'm planning on coating them with oil and salt (pierce them of course) but do I put aluminum foil around them?? Thanks in advance!!
re: southernitalian
I thought so. How do i go about microwaving baked potatoes? I've never done that before. Will they be good???
re: lucienne78
Scrub the potatoes just as you would if you were baking them, and pierce them with a fork in several places (so air will escape as they heat, otherwise they may "explode"). Microwave on high for about 10 minutes, and then place in 325 oven for about 45min to 1 hour. It helps if you place a paper towel under the potatoes in the microwave, to absorb any condensate as they cook.
I agree with southernitalian: prebake in the microwave and finish in the oven. DO NOT put foil around them, even when you move them to the oven, unless you like limp potato skins. This past weekend, I pierced a couple of potatoes all over and microwaved them for about 8 minutes. Then brushed them all over with softened butter and placed them directly on the oven rack, next to the pan of meat I was roasting. Essentially, the microwave cooked them completely, but finishing in the oven burnished the potato skins to perfection.
re: Deenso
So how long should they go in the oven for after microwaving? Sorry for so many questions. I don't want to dry them out.
re: lucienne78
When I put a large potato in my microwave, it takes at least ten minutes. I've never done more then one at a time. But the microwave will STEAM them, not really bake them. Baking them is so much better. So try to finish them off in the oven.
re: southernitalian
exactly... bring them "up to temperature" in the microwave for 6-8 minutes, then put them in the oven to finish for a half hour or up to an hour at the low temperature to "cook" them. you will be much happier with the results than just cooking them in the microwave.
Another option is to do the potatoes on the barbecue. Try the oil and salt and wrap them in aluminum foil.
I think they'll be fine in the oven for an hour and a half! Stick them with a sharp knife after about an hour. If they feel done then take them out and wrap them in foil to keep them warm.
As far as wrapping them goes, put foil on them if you want the skin soft. I like the skin crispy, so I always leave it off.
You can also bake them in a toaster oven. We do it all the time. I personally don't like the texture of the potato when you nuke them.
re: starlight
Yes, if you have a toaster oven, that works great. I first made baked potatoes in there about a year ago and never went back to the regular oven.
jfood thinks 325 for 90-100 minutes should cook the potatoes. take a cake tester or a fork to double check.
another idea is to cut potatoes into quaters, coat with EVOO and seasonings and bake in the same oven. At 325 these will definitely be cooked in 90 minutes.
third idea for meatloaf is mashed potatoes, can't go wrong with meat loaf and mashed.
You can cook them at 325 --just put them in a little earlier than the meatloaf if you are worried about them getting done in time, esp. if they are big ones. Otherwise, I think one and half hours or more should be fine.
Foil is just an industrial restaurant technique which produces a steamed not baked potato. Baking only requires a couple slits to vent the moisture and kust put them directly on the oven rack. A real baked potato will have a crispy somewhat nutty skin that is great to eat.
As long as they are medium size the potatoes will bake at that temperature. 90 minutes should be plenty. If they are big ones you could nuke them for a few minutes before putting them in the oven.
re: chef chicklet
Neither the potatoes nor the meat loaf are THAT fussy about the oven temp. I usually use 350-375 for an hour or less, and the potatoes at the same time, and they're crisp and the meatloaf cooked. Another casserole of an apple crisp or some other baked dessert, and I've used the oven efficiently.
re: violabratsche
I have never been able to get them both to be ready at the same time. I have to do one or the other. If I cook the meat loaf at any lower than 375 it braises, producing a mushy meat loaf. High heat for works best for me, must be my oven.
Wash 'em, let them dry. Poke 'em with a fork a few times and stick 'em in a 400 degree overn for about an hour or so. The results - the perfect backed potatoe.
Cooked in a foil or microwave will give you a potatoe that doesn't have the "fluff" of a baker. Roasted naked leaves the skin nice and crispy and perfect for eating. I don't order baked potatoes at most restaurants because of the chewey skin and gummy texture of the flesh, a result of foiling.
Try this version of baked potatoes. These need to be baked at 400F, so they can't be cooked with the meatloaf.
Iron Skillet Baked Potatoes
4 Tbsp canola oil
1/4 tsp dried rosemary
1/8 tsp seasoning salt
3 or 4 medium size potatoes, sliced length wise
These potatoes are baked, cut side down in a cast iron skillet. This
results in a potato with a slightly golden brown crust on the cut side and
a delicious, roasted flavor.
In a room temperature, 10" cast iron skillet, add the canola oil and spread evenly over bottom. Sprinkle rosemary and seasoning salt evenly over the canola oil.
Scrub and dry the potatoes. Leave potato skins on. Cut potatoes in half, lengthwise, through widest part of potato.
Place potatoes, cut side down, one layer deep in bottom of cast iron skillet. Press down on potatoes so that the cut side is coated in canola oil.
Place room temperature skillet of potatoes in cold oven. Set oven to 400F. and bake for 45-minutes. At end of cooking time, pierce with fork to test for doneness.
These can be served with sour cream, etc.

Punk rocker becomes devotee7,923 Views / EMail This Post / Print This Post / Home » Punk rocker becomes devotee
By Sukhada Das
( submitted by Pandava Vijaya das )
About 12 years ago my friend Brian and I were staying up late, smoking pot, and flipping though channels. As we scrolled though various channels we caught sight of what looked to be a punk rock concert. Kids stage diving, and bald headed singer on stage singing lyrics I never heard before. We thought we stumbled across something pretty awesome, so we left it on this channel. As we passed the doobie back and forth the scene quickly changed.
Now we were watching George Harrison sing "some song" we have never heard before. Still accepting this as "cool" for a show on public access in the middle of the night the channel stayed on. Shortly after Mr. Harrison's feature was over we were all of a sudden bombarded with a bunch of shaved heads, cartels, and people in orange "outfits". IT WAS THE HARE KRISHNA'S! We were watching, "DANGEROUS TV". Laughter rang out in the smoke filled living room as we watched with a "what the heck it this" kind of attitude. Devotees were on and off the screen, it made NO sense to us at all, but we stayed fixed to the TV so we could further investigate what exactly was going on…
We could not make much sense of the show. The one similarity we found in all the featured people on the show had "these bags" around their neck. In our mentally altered state we decided to play a game…"whats in the bag". After many attempts of trying to figure out just WHAT those dang Hare Krishna's had in the bags' around their neck we decided…. "Dude, that's where they keep their bubbles"
About a year later I gave up smoking pot. I was a vegetarian since about the age of 14. So I was now considering myself straight edge. Straight edge was and is a movement of people that choose to be drug, alochol, and tobacco free, some even refrain from meat. I was listening to a new kind of music, and was gaining a new set of friends. In Houston, there was this all day straight-edge festival, it was an all day event. Something like 20-something bands.
I WAS READY! So I got to the venue, walked around with X's on my hands ready to hear some loud music that proudly spouted my new found views. As I made my way into the court yard I saw two men… Shaved heads, orange robes…. IT WAS THE BUBBLE PEOPLE! I was strangely attracted to them, and I headed over wondering WHAT they could be doing there… The conversation was warm, and I got my my first taste of prasadam. Later in the day, I found myself back at the table asking if I can have more of their food. Then again, I came BACK to the table and asked can I have MORE of that food… The 3rd time around the conversation lasted a little bit longer. They gave me a card, and said, "if you like this food you should come to our temple, we have a free feast, all vegetarian".
Sure enough, one week later I drove to a side of town that I did not even knew existed, I made a left turn down the road where the temple was. It was early in the day, around 5pm, not many people were on the temple grounds. I walked around looking like a deer in headlights, even contemplating getting back in the car and heading home. Then, coming from around the corner I saw this man that reminded me of "the fonz" from Happy Days the television show. He came up to me with a big smile and introduced himself. "Hello, I'm Pandava" he said. What a cool name, I thought. I told him how I met these two guys last week, and am here for the free food. He explained what time the food service was, and if I wouldn't mind staying around a listening to a lecture first. Sure enough I agreed. I sat though the lecture, tried to hang on to as much information as possible, then Pandava led me to the "place to get the food". I tasted a whole new array of flavors, but I LOVED IT!
After I ate, Pandava excused himself, and said he'd be right back. When he returned he came back with an orange bag, the one that holds the bubbles, a set of beads wrapped around his fore arm, and a smaller set of beads for counting. He explained the importance of the beads, and we chant on them, and he requested that I give chanting a try. He gave me a card with the Mahamantra on it, and again, encouraged I give it a try. We parted ways that evening, and as strange as it all was, I knew I'd be back.
That week I pulled my beads out of the bag (not bubbles) and put the card in front of me and tried to recite what was on the card. It was a poor effort, but an effort none the less. Next week, I went BACK to the temple with the bead bag around my neck (again, no bubbles) looking for Pandava… I found Pandava, and he took me around and introduced me to several other devotee's on the temple grounds. One of which was Krisha Kripa Das, Pandava said, Krishna Kripa is someone that may be able to answer some of your questions. Krishna Kripa was something else.
He had a radiating personality, yet still maintained a saintly presence. That day I must of thrown 100 or so questions as Krishna Kripa, and sure enough he had answers for all of the ignorance that was spewing from my mouth. This particular Sunday it was Krishna Kripa that was giving the "talk" in the temple. Again, I stayed around and listened, and made my way to the "place to get the food" with both Krishna Kripa and Pandava. After we were done eating we talked about my attempts to chant, and both encouraged me to keep trying, and God will assist me. "If you take one step toward God, he will talk 3-steps towards you". When it was time to say goodbye, Krishna Kripa gave me this really cool "flower necklace" that he wore while giving the lecture earlier that evening.
For about a year or so I palled around with Pandava and Krishna Kripa. Learning more and more about the philosophy, and getting my chanting down. One temple visit, still being a "newbie" I met this other devotee. He was young, and I told him how I am still trying to get my chanting down. He said, well make sure you say "this" before every round. He wrote down, "Jaya Sri Krishna Chaitanya…."
After hanging with the devotee's for about a year and a half I got a big break in the music industry. I hung my bead bag on a wall with a thumbtack and gave up my drug free lifestyle. I remained a vegetarian, but I smoked, snorted, and swallowed everything I could get my hands on for about 6-7 years while living the "rock and roll" lifestyle. In the midst of it all I knew I needed to give it up. In those years of being on stage, heavily drugged, and diving deeper and deeper into the material world, I felt a HUGE emptiness in my life. So I announced my retirement. I played my last show, and that was that… I knew what I needed to do…
I went to a local tattoo shop and asked for the Mahamanta to be tattooed on my forearm. I got on the phone, and found the number for the local Hare Krishna temple. I asked if I could get in contact with Pandava. The person on the other end of the phone, said Pandava lives in Dallas now. I asked for the phone number of Krishna Kripa. They gave it to me. I mustered up some confidence, swallowed my pride, and called Krishna Kripa Das. "Hi, I'm sure you don't remember me……." I told him the long story of what had happened - he seemed to remember me, and welcomed me back to the temple. Before going back I went to my mom's house where I lived when I first visited the temple. I was looking for my bead bag. My mom said, "I knew it was important, so I never moved it…" Sure enough, my bead bag hung on the same thumb tack in the closet, exactly where I left it. I put it around my neck, and headed to temple. When I made that left turn to the temple grounds parking lot I felt like I was returning home, and in many ways I was. That was 4 years ago….
Since my 4 year return I have taken to the scriptures, chant my 16 rounds, most of which I start at 4am, and have been lucky enough to find a Spiritual Master, His Grace Sankarshan Prabhu in Austin, TX. The story of finding my Guru is another long, yet beautiful story, but I can save that for another time… I have a regular service at the temple, and worked towards getting cleared by our temple president for initiation.
12 days ago, on Sunday March 9, 2008 the temple room was filled with my friends, a whole slew of devotee's, and well over 100 people… On that day, my Spiritual Master chanted on a new set of beads, and initiated me into the Sampradaya, giving me the name Sukhada Das.
To this day I still have the first bead bag that Pandava purchased for me when I first visited the temple, I keep it safe in a drawer. The only reason I do not continue to use it is because my I was lucky enough to receive my Spiritual Master's bead bag. The beads I used up until my initiation were the beads that Pandava purchased for me when I first visited the temple. I have had to retire the beads, but they hang in my office as a constant reminder of Pandava's causeless mercy. I still however, use the counter purchased for me by Pandava 12 years ago… I also keep in my bead bag the sheet of paper that I later found was written by Indranuja Das with the, "Jaya Sri Krishna Chaitanya…." mantra on it, as well as the first letter I received from my Spiritual Master.
Now I hope and pray that I can live up to these standards shown to me by all these perfect devotee's, their Spiritual Master, and Srila Prabhupada.
Your servant, Sukhada Das.

Hare Krsna Sukhada Prabhu,
Please accept my humble obeisances at your lotus feet.
All Glories to Srila Prabhupada.
I have no other word except .. Beautiful to describe what you have written. It was really inspiring and touching. Actually once we come into devotional service become fixed up, get initiation and do various services in the temple ……in between all this we somehow forget the people who got us to this wonderful family of Srila Prabhupada. Its so important to be Grateful to those wonderful jewels for saving us from the onslaught of this world. Only a Grateful Heart can Cultivate Bhakti. This will help us in remaining fixed in our joyful position of the servant of the servant.
Thank you very very much.
Your humble servant,
Vibhava Krsna Das.

Indications: For the temporary, soothing relief of nasal congestion, sinus congestion and pressure and dry, irritated nasal membranes associated with sinusitis; irritated/swollen sinus passages; hay fever; a cold; or other upper respiratory allergies (allergic rhinitis). Helps clear nasal passages and promote nasal and/or sinus drainage.
SinuFix Helps make nasal passages and sinuses feel clear and more comfortable so you can breathe and sleep better, fast!
Therapy for sinus/allergy problems should help control symptoms and also help people feel and function better in their everyday lives.
Antibiotics are widely used to treat sinusitis. According to the Mayo Clinic, the primary cause of sinusitis is fungi - molds and yeasts which become airborne like pollen. Antibiotics, therefore, are not effective, in most cases, because they target bacteria. Synthetic over-the-counter decongestants may offer some relief of symptoms, but they have no effect on the inflammation. With prolonged use, common nasal decongestants typically become ineffective and can lead to dependency. This won't happen with SinuFix Mist.
Suggested Use
Adults and children 6 years of age and older: Clear the nasal passageway by gently blowing your nose prior to using SinuFix. Remove the safety clip on the bottle. Prior to initial use, prime the pump by holding it upright and pumping 1 or more times into a tissue until the solution is dispensed. Insert nozzle into nostril and depress pump completely while breathing in through your nose. Spray 1-2 times in each nostril every 2-4 hours until symptoms subside. The nasal pump sprayer provides precise dose delivery of the soothing spray in a fine mist. Wipe nozzle clean after each use and replace cap. Children under 6 years of age: Consult a health care professional.
Other Ingredients
Active Ingredients: Allium cepa 6X; ambrosia artemisiaefolia 6X; argentum metallicum 8X; echinacea angustifolia 3X, 6X, 12X; euphorbium officinarum 4X, 6X 12X; hepar sulphuris calcareum 8X; hydrastis canadensis 3X, 6X, 12X; kali bichromicum 6X; 10X; kali sulphuricum 3X, 6X, 12X; lemna minor 3X; luffa operculata 6X; origanum vulgare 3X, 6X; pulsatilla 3X; sabadilla 6X; sanguinaria canadensis 6X; silicea 8X; and spigella anthelmia 3X.

Holey moley! Muddy Mole's entire family has been abducted by that malvolent mole-napper, Jinbe! It's a terrible predicament for the mild-mannered mammals, but the scene is set for the most challenging puzzle-action game since the Adventures of Lolo series for the NES. As Muddy Mole, you must use your sharp sense and expert mole hole-digging ability to clear the many rooms that stand between you and your anxious family. Time's running out—dig in!A Game Boy game developed by what is now Pax Softnica, and a mostly unknown work of Shigeru Miyamoto.Muddy Mole and his family normally live a quiet life, with Muddy doing the daily raid of crops for food, but an evil farmer known as Jinbe decides he's had enough of moles ruining his land. As a result, Muddy returns home one day to find that his wife and seven kids have been kidnapped, and Muddy must fight Jinbe to get them back.The game uses a top-down view and amounts to an action-puzzler. Muddy can dig holes through soft ground and throw/push/pull objects to proceed. Despite his simple arsenal, Muddy finds himself working his way through seven levels of Jinbe Land to take down the bosses, which is naturally full of spikes, Mooks and other dangers that shouldn't be plaguing a cabbage farm.It was released with little notice (for different reasons) in both Japan and the USA, leading it to become one of the most obscure-yet-enjoyable games of its time, though its Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console release gives it a wider audience.

Assassin`s Creed Revelations Review (Xbox 360)
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido), Nov 15, 2011 16:31
Assassin's Creed Revelations is here and that means Ezio, Altair and Desmond return for the final show down and the wrap up of the story. This time Ubisoft takes us to Istanbul (or Constantinople if you prefer) as Ezio continues his journey of discovery and expansion of the Assassins. Desmond lies in a coma, and Altair makes several appearances throughout the game as well.
Along the way you will meet a lot of familiar gameplay, some interesting new twists and what I believe to be some of the best multiplayer out there today. That is all combined into a game that offers a good long single player and loads of multiplayer which makes me have to ask, why can't other big names deliver that much game for the same price point?
Ubisoft didn't skimp on anything with this final installment of Ezio Auditore's saga. The massive environments, the well-made cut scenes and the unique multiplayer are all here. So too are the piles of side quests, hidden boxes, collectibles and other game mechanics which have become part of Assassin's Creed over time. Then again, the controls which can be sloppy and finicky are still here as well making for some clumsy gameplay at times which leads to some frustration with the game.
Since many of you have probably played Assassin's Creed by now we can skip over a lot of things and just talk about what makes this a brand new game without reinventing the wheel.
A lot of standard features have returned like hiding, pickpocketing, side missions for different factions and recruiting of assassin's to call for help. There are also missions around the Mediterranean that tie into history and present a larger overall struggle between Templars and Assassins, as well as help you level up the assassin's in your dens. You can also call assassin's in to take out targets when you're in the city itself as you could in the last game.
Assassin's Creed Revelations New gameplay features
The Hookblade - Take a hook, slap it onto a blade and hide it in your wristguard, that's a hookblade. Quite a handy tool it is in that you can both use it as a mode of transportation (on ziplines found throughout the game) and as a weapon with some pretty cool moves attached to it. The hookblade adds some height to your climbing and gives you more reach.
Bombs Away! - Three types of throwable bombs are added to the weapons roster all with specific types of uses; distraction (diversion), destruction (lethal), detection avoidance (tactical). Yes and they're craftable so you can make a wide variety (approximately 300) of them with specific ranges, uses and properties. Find a bomb crafting table and you're off and running as you'll already have collected an ample amount of supplies by then.

A Visit with Sugar & Salt Creamery:
Jon Carpenter's Delicious Vegan Ice Cream
Maker Tour
Who: Jon Carpenter
What: Sugar & Salt Creamery
Where: Santa Barbara and Santa Monica, California
I've spotted a curious blue short bus all over Santa Barbara lately, always surrounded by happy kids munching on ice cream. My curiosity finally got the better of me, and that's when I discovered Sugar & Salt Creamery and its founder, Jon Carpenter. Jon, together with a small team, creates creamy sorbet from sprouted almond milk and local, organic produce. Yes! I've finally found the holy grail of healthy summertime treats!
Jon Carpenter grew up in a small town in Southern California, and never gave too much thought to vitamins, minerals and health. But while working as a member of the Coast Guard, he began to eat more healthfully, filling up on the bounty of California organic produce that was so readily available year round. He began juicing as many fruits and vegetables as he could, and this process led to making almond milk, which in turn led to creating a base for a healthful, sprouted almond milk sorbet.
Sugar & Salt's vegan sorbets come in a variety of seasonal, produce-driven flavors ranging from fruit-forward flavors like strawberry, peach apricot, blackberry and mango, to spice/add-in driven tastes like coffee with cacao nibs, salted caramel, cinnamon (this combo tastes like a horchata!), thai iced tea, almond vanilla and beyond. The flavor inspiration comes from what's ripe at the farmers market and whatever else Jon's got a hankering to experiment with. Every flavor is made with almond milk, organic cane sugar and fruits/spices. That's it.
Jon makes his almond milk sorbet in a commercial kitchen in Soho, a popular music venue in Santa Barbara. He shares the space with Juice Ranch, another small business focused on making a highly nutritious food product. Together the two makers test flavors and serve as each other's sounding board. To make his business tick, Jon spends many long hours in this kitchen preparing the ice cream. When we met just a few days ago, he'd been in the kitchen until 1am the previous night and woken up at 5am to get down to the Santa Monica farmers market where he sells his almond milk.
Jon's curiosity, ingenuity and ability to tinker have acted as the backbone of his business. When asked how he developed his base recipe and myriad of flavors he quickly responded, "trial and error." There's no secret here. Just hard work. Having studied aviation and mechanical engineering, it's clear Jon likes to resourcefully problem solve. From developing his own blender using magnets to fixing up the 1966 mail truck that now acts as his vegan ice cream mobile, this DIY ingenuity permeates every aspect of his work. He's passionate about healthy living and wants to get people hooked on a treat that lacks preservatives, conventional ingredients and fillers.
Want Sugar & Salt Creamery to come your way? Jon's blue truck is available for private events wherein clients pre-pay to have his almond sorbet available for party guests. Jon loves kids' birthday parties because he gets to serve kids his healthful ice cream and get their unfiltered feedback. They love certain flavors and aren't shy to let Jon and his crew know if a certain type isn't working for them. Jon takes this criticism seriously and tweaks flavors with the kids in mind.
Jon's vegan ice creams are sold through his truck at various locations in Santa Barbara (see the schedule here) and at Isabella Gourmet Food's in Santa Barbara. Jon also sells his raw, sprouted almond milk at the Santa Monica farmers market every Wednesday.
Visit the website → Sugar & Salt Creamery
Jon's 5 Tips For Making Non-Dairy Ice Cream at Home
- "A nutritious vegan ice cream begins with good nut milk. Make sure you are careful to select the best possible water source when making your nut milk."
- "When creating flavors, there's nothing better than adding fresh seasonal fruits. When I choose fruit for my flavors, I incorporate only local, organic fruits from the farmers market to obtain essential nutrients and minerals in my final product."
- "Replace refined sugar with unrefined sugars and natural sweeteners such as stevia, coconut palm sugar, or organic cane sugar."
- "Preservatives are not necessary because they replace what nature already nutritionally offers when ingredients are properly incorporated. Take the time to read the labels because you are responsible for the ingredients that you are putting into your body."
- "Conventional foods and preservatives are sterile foods and lack essential minerals that whole foods are capable of providing. Non-pasteurized products are perishable and adding Himalayan sea salt will both preserve and add depth to the flavor of your non-dairy dessert."
Thanks, Jon and Sugar and Salt Creamery!

This is awesome! But I don't live anywhere near Santa Barbara. Anybody have a good recommendation for something I might be able to find in the Chicago area, or in a specialty grocery? I'm highly lactose intolerant and haven't found a dairy free ice cream I like enough to satisfy the cravings.
Have you tried Trader Joe's dairy-free cherry chocolate or vanilla ice cream? It's our house favorite. Temptation Vegan Ice cream is also good but only available in restaurants.
helloooooo, jon! :)
no way!! i went to school with this guy in lompoc
THANK YOU for posting this. It's refreshing to see a recipe I can use without trying to adapt it . delicious and :) :) !
More vegan recipes!!!
This sounds amazing and reminds me of scream sorbet (which is now gone!!) from Oakland.
@Ladybug683 I'm from Chicago and I have a few suggestions for you! Dairy Star (North of Chicago) has vegan soft serve!! http://www.dairystaricecream.com/ Also I LOVE and miss Anthony's italian ice in Lakeview. I've never had either of these, but I think you can also get dairy free at iCream and Temptation vegan ice cream http://www.chicagoveganfoods.com/temptation_vegan_ice_cream/
Good luck!!
Try So Delicious! They don't sell as much in Australia, so I've only tried their mint chip, turtle trails, and cookies and cream (the coconut-based ice creams), and the vanilla minis (almond-based), but they're all absolutely delicious and beautifully creamy. There's a store finder on their site, and it looks like they definitely sell in Chicago.
I'm with katiebop. He can serve me ice cream anytime.. :)
yum. come open a stand in Portland, Oregon! :)
I had no idea that men like this existed. Intelligent, great smile, healthy and makes ice cream. WHERE DO I SIGN UP?
i'm with katibop and jessjeang :D :D
I think we need a sample recipe!
We tried this at the Fermentation Festival in Goleta last weekend - SO YUMMY! I can't wait to find more - it blows away TJs dairy free options by a long shot. I just wish he could get it in more local stores... Hopefully he will eventually get it into Whole Foods and Lazy Acres.

Cosmetic surgeon Jamuna Pai inspects the face of the Miss India contestant before her in Mumbai, furrows her brow and points to a blemish. The verdict: the young woman needs a botox injection in her chin because the "proportions are off by 0.6 percent."
About 400 kilometres away in the town of Aurangabad, worlds apart from India's financial capital, a middle-aged woman in a sari lectures adolescent girls about wanting careers.
"How can you deny 5,000 years of evidence that you are the weaker sex? Stop asking for equality," she thunders to her audience of rapt teenagers in traditional Indian attire.
The two women in Mumbai and Aurangabad, and the subjects of their scrutiny are at the crux of Nisha Pahuja's film "The World Before Her," which opens in Indian cinemas next month.
The documentary juxtaposes two training camps — one for the Durga Vahini (army of Durga), the women's unit of the right-wing Vishva Hindu Parishad (World Hindu Council), and the other for the annual Miss India beauty pageant.

Last updated on 9/7/12, 3:36 AM.
The 'touch-move' rule is [particularly] used in live 'face-to-face'-type (OTB [Over The Board]) tournament- and/or match-format play. Its use is less common in most formats of internet-chess. It most likely evolved not only from 'formal'- or serious-level game play involving high stakes, but more due in part towards the deterrence for 'analysing [positions] over the board' during actual game play. The ruling stipulates: If a player intentionally [or unintentionally] touches a piece when it is their turn to move, they must move or capture that piece, only if it is legal to do so. Once a player has released one's hand from the piece that was touched/moved, the player may not retract that move back - the move [or capture] must be made, if possible. There is no penalty incurred if the piece touched/moved cannot be realized. A player may not touch any piece on the board if it is not their turn to move - otherwise doing so may incur a penalty from the tournament director.
The only other exception to this rule is if the player is adjusting a piece. Piece adjustment is the right for a player [on the move] to correct the placement of any piece[s] 'in doubt' of their current game position over the course of play. A player may 'adjust' [at will] any number [and colour] of pieces not centered on their designated squares. When a player adjusts they must clearly say "I'll adjust" [or "j'adoube"] before actually touching the piece, then places [adjusts] the piece back to its original game position. After all satisfaction of piece adjustment, the player then makes their move [of any piece - adjusted or not] accordingly.
Nice to know
I have lost because of this...
Same here...
info here is just of amateur player standard.More scientific explanation required.
Anyway it is good...
my father uses this when he's loosing and he make's up a few of his own rule's lol
Try this...
This article offers speculation concerning historical origins. That is pure laziness when the history is known. Please consult the texts of Lucena, Ruy Lopez, Greco, and other writers 1497-1800. The rule was well-established when these authors wrote, and they all discuss it.
After doing your homework, please rewrite this article.

Brony Fan Fair - The Brony Chronicles Q&A (by PaleoSteno)
My panel at Brony Fan Fair in Austin, TX for The Brony Chronicles!
I showed a short promo and took questions about the project.
Alright! Our Kickstarter campaign has ended and now we're ready to get work started on this project for the summer!
For those of you just finding out about this project, this has sort of evolved into a collaborative community effort to make a documentary by the fans of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. Many of you know of John de Lancie's documentary that will be in production this summer, and they have a professional crew working on their documentary, but for this project, it's all made by the fans. I will remind you that we had this documentary in mind and had our Kickstarter up and running well over a week before John de Lancie even announced his project. We had no idea he'd be making one as well, but we are in full support of it!
The two people heading this project are Saberspark and myself (Paleo). We intend to make this a very fun, informative, and exciting documentary. It will encompass everything about My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the fandom surrounding it, from the show's beginnings, to the birth of the fandom, to the conventions and meetups that we'll be visiting in the documentary. There will be many interviews during the film that are sure to be intriguing. We've secured some pretty great talent to talk to during Bronycon and Everfree NW, so we're very excited to see what they have to say about the show and the fandom.
This tumblr will be used for small updates as well as big updates on the project, so stay tuned and follow this tumblr for more information on the project!

BOSTON (AP) — U.S. Rep. John Tierney is trying to beef up his campaign account after a bitter re-election campaign.
The Salem Democrat narrowly squeezed out a win over Republican Richard Tisei in the state's 6th District last month.
Tierney's campaign was dogged by questions about what he knew of an illegal offshore gambling ring involving his wife's family.
In an email to supporters, Tierney said he raised more than $2.1 million for the campaign, which all but wiped out his account.
Federal Election Commission reports show Tierney had about $21,000 in his account Nov. 26.
Tierney's email says it's time to rebuild his campaign coffers and show strength early in 2013.
Tierney said Republican Tea Party leaders made him "their number one target in 2012" and won't hesitate to try again.

The Scrip Store — Introduction
Please see the "Latest News Page" for all the latest scrip store updates.
What is Scrip?
Scrip is 'substitute money,' and looks and functions just like gift cards and paper certificates. Families and friends purchase scrip for everyday expenses like food, gas, clothing and entertainment. They then take the scrip to those businesses in exchange for goods and services. WSOC buys large quantities of scrip from merchants at a discount, selling it at face value. There are no added fees - it doesn't cost a penny extra! WSOC keeps the difference between the discounted price and face value of the scrip, generating revenue. Offering freedom of choice and versatility, scrip is also a great gift idea for anyone and any occasion.
How is Scrip Purchased?
The Scrip Store is located within the Office. Hours are every school day from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM. It is a year-round program; summer hours are abbreviated. Scrip order forms are available for convenience to either fill out at home or at school. One does not need to complete an order form to purchase scrip; hopefully, it serves to pre-plan purchases as a time-saving measure. The Scrip Store stocks all of the merchants and businesses listed on the order form, unless it is out of stock and being re-ordered. The gift cards and gift certificates are activated and ready for immediate use.
Scrip does not expire. It is against the law in California for expiration dates to be enforced. Payment is respectfully requested in the form of personal checks (to "WSOC"), cash and ATM. If you have any questions, comments or concerns, please visit The Scrip Store.

Acid Reflux - Top Five Tips . . .
Attention Acid Reflux Suffers!
Looking for a guide to natural methods for acid reflux written in easy to understand language that will provide an effective solution to your acid reflux, heartburn and GERD problems?
You know the feelings! Your esophagus feels like its on fire. You get the bitter taste of stomach acid, and you try to get to sleep propped up uncomfortably on a pile of pillows.
Sound familiar? Click here to continue
Acid reflux affects millions of persons worldwide. The common symptoms?
Food coming back into the mouth after you eat.
Lying in bed at night in extreme discomfort because of the burning pain in your chest or esophagus.
Tip #1: Antacid medications may be alright for occasional use, but if used as a matter of routine for acid reflux, they can affect your body's digestive system and make it harder to digest food in the future. Avoid using these routinely and seek a permanent solution.
Tip #2: Leave two or three hours after eating a meal before lying down. If you tend to eat late then a change in daily habits may be necessary. Eat your main meal a few hours before going to bed for the night to allow the body time to digest the food. This simple habit alone can do much to alleviate acid reflux discomfort.
Tip #3: A lifestyle change that may be needed is to stop smoking. Tobacco use can be a contributing factor in the development of acid reflux disease.
Tip #4: Raising the head of the bed can be an easy solution for many individuals affected by acid reflux. This helps prevent stomach acids and juices from backing up into the esophagus.
Tip #5: Seek a remedy from your local physician for acid reflux disease. Prolonged problems can cause damage to the esophagus, and in a few cases this can even lead to cancer. Better to seek prevention before it becomes serious!
Comments on Kathryn Whittaker's guide: "Stop Acid Reflux Now!"

Yesterday we had a despidata for me… We all went to Inasal, a chicken place, and all the Agape girls, most of the older girls, and four of the little kids came with us. It was such a good time — Philippino "fast food" that you eat with your hands! I was smiling and tearing up at the same time. The little ones LOVED our outing! We went to the Inasal at the mall, so the kids were running around and sliding on the waxed floors (floors here are much more slippery…)
Afterwards the Agape girls and I went to youth group! I am going to miss them so much…I don't want to leave! After youth group a visiting couple took us out for ice cream at McDonalds (why are the McDonalds in other countries so much better than the ones in the US?!).
It was a really good day…I got a lot done, and I was so glad to be able to hang out with the kids and the girls. I can't believe I'm leaving tomorrow morning — I don't want to!

here are generally four main types of work at home jobs with each type holding appeal for different individuals. By considering the various prospects and money requirements, almost everyone finds the perfect way to make a living from home. These four types are domestic, telecommuter, self-owned businesses and Internet opportunities. while there are wide-ranging diffrences between them, each offers freedom and flexibility not found in the traditional workplace.
Domestic work-at-home jobs include opportunities ranging from babysitting to adult care-giving. Because of individual circumstances, the persons hiring help will have varied requirements. Positions may vary in length from a few days to months, and even years. For instance, a parent with an autistic child may employ a responsible and capable person to provide 8 – 12 hour per day structure or temporary, weekend supervision. While domestic jobs are often are time and labor intensive, they generally pay well and in provide some of the best work at home jobs currently available for persons who enjoy care-giving and working closely with others.
Many companies hire skilled persons with computers, Internet connections and telephones to work from their homes. Even if the company pays for the installation of extra telephone lines, high-speed Internet access and equipment, this company saves money. Their employees benefit because the commute time is extremely short, usually only 10 or 20 feet, and dress codes are very relaxed unless the job includes video conferencing.
Data entry, reading and responding to e-mails, web designing, data conversion, paralegals, affiliate marketing, customer service, virtual assistants and telephone communications positions are available. The process is simple with employers explaining their needs and willing workers filling them. Duties range from paper work to interaction with customers and clients and solving complex problems.
Some positions are flexible. As long as the employee does the work, this company does not care if the work is done from 8 AM until 5 PM or midnight to 7 AM. Others require regular shifts with designated coffee breaks and meal times. Benefits include regular paychecks and income guarantees; sometimes medical, sick leave, vacation and retirement funds are included.
Many enthusiastic, energetic people desiring to stay home and earn a living start their own business. As one of the fastest growing industries in the United States, healthcare needs computer literate people skilled in electronic billing. Doctors, hospitals, nursing homes, pharmacies and insurance companies hire people to convert medical procedures to a series of uniform numbers and letters, transmit the information via Internet and track claims and payments. Detail oriented people make perfect medical billing and transcription workers. Interested workers find on-the-job training or take quick classics.
Other best work at home jobs include day care, small appliance repair, mechanic, baking or hobbies like sewing or woodworking. Day care can be as simple as watching children while their parents work or entertaining adults needing supervision with projects and trips. Many working parents need help with both as they have young children and their parents needing assistance with meals or mobility. Busy people willingly pay someone else to arrange outings to the museum, skating park or swimming pool while people who give fantastic dinners and parties are in demand as party planners. The only trick to working from home is finding something a person loves to do and a way to get paid for doing it. After all, turning a hobby into a thriving industry is an easy way to make money and have fun.
The ideal candidate for a self-started business is someone with a passion and ability to wait for financial success. These people start out by doing it all themselves and adjusting the program to fit clients' needs. As they grow, these entrepreneurs hire help.
When most people think about working from home, they immediately think of Internet possibilities and potentials. Almost anything is possible with the computer, the right programs and desire. These opportunities are divided between Internet businesses and personal efforts.
Internet businesses are simply virtual shops where customers find and buy items they want. Sites like eBay and Craig's List help millions of people sell surplus items or resale items and make money. Some people specialize in niche markets developing websites offering items like knitting yarn, fishing lures, small kitchen appliances, books or tools. When orders arrive, the money goes electronically into the seller's account and the order is packaged and sent. For many people, virtual stores and sales sites are golden opportunities to make money on their terms.
Personal efforts pay people for doing something. Taking surveys, finding new buyers or products, trying goods, writing, blogging or reviewing merchandise and services provides income. The amount of money earned depends on the offer and work performed. Since people decide what they do and when they work, these possibilities give workers the most freedom and flexibility. Getting started is as simple as matching the work to a person's desire and deciding what to do when.
The first step is deciding how much effort to invest in this new adventure. Surveys are fast and easy as they just require answering questions. Companies paying people to promote their product require more work, time and knowledge while websites offering consumers free samples or trial offers pay people for a few keystrokes. Writing and blogging are technical in nature, requiring good grammar and the ability to communicate. Product reviews are valuable to manufacturers and quick to complete. Although some of these require research and technical abilities, others are quick and easy.
The next step is doing it. As amount of income depends on the work performed, some people earn $50 or $100 a week for extra spending money. Others supplement regular 9-to-5 jobs while decicated individuals can find enough opportunities to support families.
Presently, the most in-demand, work at home job is also an Internet job. While most reputable businesses maintain a website and employ a webmaster, those interested in improving their Google rankings in order to increase traffic and sales also employ Search Engine Optimization (SEO) Specialists. However, the advent of popular social media sites has further complicated the online presence challenges businesses face. In addition to SEO Specialists many have begun hiring Social Media Managers — who use blogs, Facebook, Twitter, Google+, Stumble Upon, LinkedIn, and other Web 2.0 sites to increase brand awareness and refer prospective customers.
The problem is that presently there are not nearly enough qualified Social Media Managers to fill the available jobs. This need has spawned an entire brand-new industry of highly-paid ($70,000 – $120,000 per-year), work-at-home jobs. Perhaps, the most exciting part of these lucrative opportunities is that most do not require a degree of any. Expertise in referring traffic via Web 2.0 platforms is all that is really required, especially for independent Social Media Managers who contract their services to businesses for fees ranging from $200 – $2,000 per month. Once established, these independent operators can service numerous accounts multiplying their earnings while maintaing the freedom and independence provided by a work-at-home job.

Volleyball vs. Palm Beach Atlantic
Volleyball Falls to Sailfish 3-0 on the Road
Modified Sep 10, 2013 09:56 PM
West Palm Beach, Fla.- The Lynn University volleyball team lost to Palm Beach Atlantic, 3-0 (23-25, 19-25, 16-25), on Tuesday night.

Marissa Tandron recorded 18 assists while junior Nikki Haben added 10 digs.
A back-and-forth battle from the start in the first set, Lynn took a slight lead over the Sailfish when a Sara Aloisio kill gave the Blue and White a 16-13 edge. PBA responded with a 4-0 to edge LU by one at 16-17. A kill by Liga Strautniece evened the score at 17-all and an attack error by Palm Beach Atlantic's Katie Ballantyne would give Lynn their final lead of the game. The Sailfish ended on a 6-1 run to take the 1-0 lead in the non-conference match.

Should Cannabis be legalized as a medicine?
The rich biodiversity of plants in nature has provided humans many medicines to prevent and cure sickness and disease. The use of cannabis as a medicine continues to gain acceptance within the scientific and medical community, with Connecticut early this month joining 16 other states to legalize it for medical use. Case studies continue to support the value of cannabis as a medicine to ameliorate various ailments ranging from glaucoma, multiple sclerosis, AIDS, Parkinson's, chronic pain, and nausea associated with cancer.
Despite scientific evidence supporting medicinal qualities from cannabis, much controversy surrounds outright legalization for medicinal use. While many states currently allow cannabis as an alternative to traditional medicines, the FDA continues to classify cannabis as a schedule I drug subjecting patients to possible fines and/or imprisonment under federal law.
Can cannabis find a place in today's society as an alternative medicine, or are possible unforeseen consequences too great to allow this plant for medicinal use?

May 18 2012: I agree with the majority of commentors that marijuana should be legalized, especially for medical use. I think there is an unfortunate lack of research and evidence for both the benefits and risks of smoking marijuana because of its status as an illegal drug. We know that there are some medical benefits of smoking marijuana, but I think current medical knowledge is unfortunately limited and potentially undervalued because of the stigma associated with drugs. If marijuana were legalized, we would stand to gain a great wealth of information about how this drug should be used and when it poses potential risks rather than benefits. Medical and recreational users should have clear information about how and why marijuana can be useful. Additionally, legalization would help manage weed use in situations when it is perhaps not beneficial (ie smoking and driving, selling/buying in risky situations, etc). I think it is about time that the law reflects the honest benefits and relatively low risk factors associated with marijuana.
Tina ZhuMay 20 2012: I agree with you Lauren that medically, cannabis is an extremely beneficial. Also, that if it were to be legalized, the dangers of dealing with it illegally (such as drug dealing) would decrease. I think many people have such a strong opinion on keeping marijuana illegal is because of the social norm behind the word "illegal". Because of this, people automatically assume that marijuana is all bad and can never be used for good. But of course, as more more research supports it, it can be used for good, and that in some situations, it has been used for good. Sure, people abuse it. But it also seems that its in our human nature to abuse things and by making it illegal won't ever stop people from abusing it. However, this doesn't mean that everything should be legalized just because people will abuse it either way. There are things that are harmful to human health that should be kept illegal such as cocaine and such.
May 22 2012: Marijuana if made legal for medical reasons should be regulated by the DEA like opioid based drugs. This way what is dispensed legally can be regulated and maintained at a high quantity. Also it would probably be better to ingest it in other ways than smoking it due to the fact that it can cause more health problems in the future. Even if it is regulated by the DEA as a C2 drug, it will still be abused by people just like any other C2 drug out there. But this is a way for the people who do use it for its medical purposes only to make sure they have a quality product. The reason why I say not to legalize it completely is because of studies that have shown consistent use of marijuana can lead to mental health problems. Marijuana has a longer lifetime inside the body than alcohol and even some other more addicting drugs. Without studies done on the long term effects of consistent marijuana consumption, no one knows what the bioaccumulation will lead to.

Prior to founding Bosley Inc., L. Lee Bosley had gone through extensive medical training for over a decade. After receiving his B.S. at the University of Nebraska, Dr. Bosley attended the University of Nebraska College of Medicine, where he received his M.D. at age 24. Following an internship at Pierce County Hospital in Tacoma, Washington, Dr. Bosley volunteered to serve in the U.S. Army Medical Corps, was commissioned as a Captain, and honorably discharged after six years of service. Dr. Bosley performed his specialty training in dermatology at the University of Oregon Medical Center, studying under the renowned Professor Walter C. Lobitz, Jr., M.D. He then completed his residency training at the University of California Medical Center at San Francisco, studying under the world famous Professor Rees B. Rees, M.D. In 1964, Dr. Bosley was awarded Certified Diplomate status by the American Board of Dermatology and became a Clinical Instructor in Dermatology at the University of California Medical Center at San Francisco.
It was in 1974 that Dr. Bosley founded Bosley, bringing a keen focus on artistry and naturalness to the field of hair restoration. In 1979, he was granted registered trademark protection for Micrograft, a process that enables Bosley physicians to restore hairlines that look as soft and feathered as a man's natural hairline. Dr. Bosley's contributions continue to change the way the world looks at hair transplantation and help give patients soft, feathered living hairlines that look like their original hairlines.
Dr. Bosley still occasionally performs hair restoration at the Bosley Beverly Hills office and has helped innovate many of the advanced artistic and scientific techniques in use today. Since performing his first hair restoration procedure in 1963, he has personally performed more than 32,500 hair restoration procedures, comprising more than three million individual transplant grafts. Patients who are interested can have their hair transplant procedure performed by Dr. Bosley himself, but his fees are higher than those charged by the rest of the doctors at Bosley due to the number of people who ask specifically for him. For more information on hair loss, Bosley physicians and treatment options, please schedule a consultation with a Bosley professional at no cost.

Cumberland Gap National Historical Park is the recipient of the National Park Service's Design Project Achievement Award for the 2008 renovation of its amphitheater located at the Wilderness Road Campground. The renovation included a complete facelift to the amphitheater building, new seating, inclusion of state of the art sound and lighting systems, installation of a waterline to support an accessible water fountain, and the pouring of new concrete for decking and walkways. Though the facility met accessibility codes beforehand, wheelchair positions were limited to only a few spaces and located on the last row of the viewing area. Correcting this last insufficiency was of highest priority for the park as staff planned, designed and constructed improved accessibility for all park visitors. The result of the park effort not only tripled viewing area space for visitors in wheelchairs, but now allows front row viewing for visitors in wheelchairs.
Superintendent Mark Woods explains that the campground amphitheater renovation is a boon to park visitors. "The amphitheater is used extensively during the summer months as park rangers provide programs on the park's incredible array of resources. The amphitheater is also the perfect venue for the numerous music programs offered by the park. Gorgeous hemlocks and pines provide the perfect backdrop for the amphitheater; combine that with a campfire which is usually present at every amphitheater program and visitors return home with many fond memories. Superintendent Woods also reminds visitors that the amphitheater can be reserved for weddings."
Chief of Maintenance Bill Brumbach further elaborates that while design plans were acquired via contract, selection and procurement of all project materials, planning, scheduling and all construction work was provided by park personnel. "I tip my hat to the maintenance staff! As each step was undertaken, staff always kept park visitors in mind. Work was also of top notch quality. Maintenance personnel are very proud of this project; their trademark of excellence can be seen in every aspect of this access project."
For information on this project and the accessibility award, please contact Bill Brumbach at 606-246-1100. For information on summer programs being offered at the amphitheater, please call 606-248-2817, extension 1075 or visit the park web site at www.nps.gov/cuga.
Did You Know?
Gap Cave has also been called: King Solomon's Cave, Soldier's Cave, and Cudjo's Cave! The cave was originally referred to as "Gap Cave" because of its proximity to the Gap. When early pioneers saw the cave they knew they were about to cross the mountains into the wilderness of Kentucky.

Improved Multi-Threading Performance: Google's Perf Tools Version 1.0
Google Performance Tools, part of Google's open source projects, is now available in version 1.0. Perf Tools is especially useful for optimizing multi-threaded programs.
Google's Perf Tools has been around for the last four years and now the collection of performance tools has arrived at version 1.0. Protected by the BSD license, the tools enable developers to write more efficient codes. Particularly C++ developers working on multi-threaded implementations should benefit from the new release.
The high performance tools include a very fast malloc, a thread-friendly heap-checker, heap-profiler and cpu-profiler. Developers are concentrating their efforts on further optimization of multi-threading environments with multi processors and they aim to provide better support for Non Uniform Memory Access (NUMA), allowing processors improved memory access.
Perf Tools can be downloaded as RPM and DEB packages or as Tarball from the Google projects website.
