Romeo Ferraris tweaks the Ferrari 599 GTO
by Noah Joseph (RSS feed) on Apr 1st, 2012 at 10:02AM
Soon Ferrari will disocntinue the 599 as it ushers the new F12 Berlinetta into production, but until then the GTO holds its place as king of the hill. So before the ultimate incarnation of the 599 is swept off into retirement, Romeo Ferraris has developed a series of enhancements to the Ferrari flagship. Given that Maranello has put just about everything it has into the 599 GTO, there wasn't a lot of room to play around. So the tuner has released two small upgrades. Stage 1 encompasses a new air filter and exhaust for a 15-horsepower boost, while the Stage 2 kit remaps the ECU as well for... Read More

Dakota's Green, Shaker-Inspired Kitchen
Kitchen Tour
I met Dakota Witzenburg a few years ago at a friend's store. He is a wonderful cabinet and furniture maker (co-owner of todosomething, based in Los Angeles) with an incredible eye for design! And I just found out that he loves to bake, especially his grandmother's secret pie recipes. He has my dream kitchen, a kitchen which he built himself. It's a beautiful blend of modern and traditional — with unexpected green cabinets!
There is definitely something charming about a man who loves to spend hours in the kitchen baking. I tried to get a glimpse of the secret pie recipe, but he told me, "It's actually a pretty simple recipe, but some things are best left as a secret."
I left before he finished making the whole pie (but I will have to request it when I photograph his entire home for an Apartment Therapy house tour in a few weeks).
10 Questions for Dakota (and His Kitchen)
1. What was the inspiration behind your kitchen design?
A lot of the inspiration comes from Shaker furniture and cabinetry. In coming up with the design, I wanted something that was modern, but fit with the architecture of the house. Our house was built in 1938 and making a kitchen that was too modern just didn't seem right. I also didn't want it to be boringly traditional either. I think it bridges the gap between those two worlds well.
On a functional level, I wanted to use the Shaker adage of "a place for everything and everything in its place." I don't like a lot of clutter and tried to put as much as I could behind doors. I think all the doors and drawers are beautiful and it makes the overall look more dynamic. There are a few places for very specific things and I think it adds to the playfulness of the kitchen without being too gimmicky. There is a cabinet for the dish soap and a drawer for bottle openers. All these touches add to the custom tailored feel of the space. There is a place for everything (almost) and it works great.
2. I LOVE your green kitchen. It is such an unexpected and nice surprise. What are some tips for making green work in a kitchen?
The color is called Verdigris and its from Benjamin Moore. I think if you limit the overall palette, you can get away with a color some might consider atypical. It also depends how much is going on in the kitchen. We began with the black Richlite countertops and carried the black into the tile and grout. I'm not a huge fan of countertops or tile that get too busy. There are other touches of black and white with the refrigerator, stove, sink, and trim. It sounds like there is a lot going on, but it seems to work. Basically, keep it simple.
3. Another unexpected design element is the use of flat paint on the cabinetry. What was the thought process behind using a flat paint?
Well, I just like the look of flat paint and to me it's a more natural finish. I like that it draws in light rather than reflects it. In kitchens, it's typical to use a paint with more sheen because it offers, perhaps, more protection in the long run. The paint we ended up using is a super durable "milk paint" from General Finishes (color is from Benjamin Moore) and I believe it will last a long time. However, I also don't mind seeing the patina that comes from use over time. It should weather like a well-made piece of furniture.
4. Is there anything you wish you had done differently?
Worked faster. I made everything for this kitchen and looking back at it, that seems a little crazy. I made some of the flooring from the old cabinet doors and the bead boards from the old cabinets and shelves. Partly for eco-friendliness of it, partly because I wanted that handmade look to the kitchen.
I also made the windows and Dutch door, not just installed them. Part of it was to save money, but it was also to see if I could do it. I knew the basics of door and window making and I found this old book called the "Handbook of Doormaking, Windowmaking, and Staircasing" by Anthony Talbot. Its a lost art that many people, including myself, don't normally have time for. But, I really wanted to do it.
5. Biggest indulgence or splurge in the kitchen:
We're not much for big indulgences. However, the dual drawer dishwasher from Fisher Paykel would probably fall into that category if we had to choose something. It was one of the shallower dishwashers on the market and the custom fronts make it basically invisible. It's also an energy efficient model and we like that we can run smaller loads if necessary.
6. What inspires your cooking?
I really like food. Ultimately, eating is the inspiration. I also like the process of cooking though and if I could spend all day preparing and cooking to eat some big wonderful meal at the end of the day with friends and family, that would be great. We do that occasionally, but I don't spend as much time in the kitchen as I would like to.
7. What is your favorite kitchen tool or element?
I would have to say our French press coffee maker. Next to the stove, it gets the most use of all the tools we have in the kitchen. It's simple and easy to clean. I look forward to coffee every single morning.
9. How would you describe your cooking style?
I would describe it in a similar way to the furniture and cabinetry I like to design. Simple methods using the best ingredients should produce a quality meal.
10. Best cooking advice or tip you ever received:
"Try it, you'll like it."

What a beautiful place to cook.
What brand of flour is that on the island?
I am not familiar with the bag. Your crust looks great too.
First: The kitchen is beautiful, but my condo kitchen is even smaller. This would NOT work. I wish I could have him find a way to make my tiny kitchen have this many cabinets and drawers.
Second: What is the secret pie recipe? I make a so/so pie and need help.....PLEASE.
I recognize that flour - it's Trader Joe's!
love it! beautiful green combo of the cabinets and wall color.
Agree, that clock is way cool!
The sink is gorgeous. The cabinet colors are definitely hipster masculine. However, drawers above the stove hood ?!? He looks six foot six, and I guess those drawers work for him, but I'd guess others would find those drawers stylishly fun and practically useless.
I am completely in love with your kitchen! I especially adore the thought put into making the cabinets work for you, and the flat green against the black tile.
um, is he single?
RENEEGEE, becareful not to discuss or comment on how attractive someone is in a post is, AT will cut it. I've made that mistake before. They do however have posts that are dedicated to attractive people and their houses and you can totally comment there how cute/hot/or sexy you find them. They had one last year. Something about hot guys and their homes, or babes and homes. Can't remember but it's there. Hopefully this guy will be featured this year.
But thank you for asking because I'm interested too. :)
@ Renegee and @ Owlgirlo --
Sadly for us, he says "our house" in question 1, which would seem to suggest that he's taken... :)
Maybe he was talking about a cat?!
Oh my goodness - this is a crazy small world. Dakota used to work at my dad's restaurant in McMinnville, OR, years ago... and here he is on one of my favorite websites! Not only is he an extremely nice person, he's obviously now an incredibly accomplished wood worker. That kitchen is stunning, the sleek design and great use of color. I am especially diggin on the black tile backsplash. (Dakota, if you're reading the comments, this is Tomi from Nick's. I hope you're well!!)
Those pieces of exposed wood inlaid in the cabinets are out-of-this-world beautiful. Look at that grain!
Such a beautiful kitchen. I love the simplicity, and the emphasis on the materials used. I also enjoyed the design of the cabinets, even details like mixing painted wood, metal, and stained wood hardware-- the effect is really interesting!
I'd love to know the name of the wall paint -- the lighter green?
woot woot. glad to see the finished product audrey and dakota. it looks amazing!! (from meredith)
I love the cabinetry -- the inset doors, the green painted units contrasting with the walnut units.
And for those wondering about the clock -- it is a Swedish design, and a Swiss company.
RENEEGEE, thank you for being so optimistic thinking it's a cat. I actually thought maybe a dog. Who knows? Thats very funny though.
...neither cats nor dogs use a French press...
Lovely colour, really helps create a great ambiance!
bad news. Dakota has a dog, a wife, a kid, and a semi-feral cat who lives outside.
This cabinet color reminds me of the kitchen shelves in Drew Barrymore's production offices which were featured in Domino and on AT long ago (http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/drew-barrymores-bathroomand-th-45702). I remember it because I am still obsessed with that kitchen and I have always wanted to paint my kitchen cabinets that color. Now I know it's good in practice, not just good in theory. But I kind of like the all one green as opposed to the two different shades for walls and cabinets, but that's just me. The kitchen is still lovely.
I really hope Dakota's dog, wife, kid, and semi-feral cat are saving up for a retro-inspired fridge. It would absolutely be the cherry on the sundae.
Beautiful and elegant kitchen Dakota.
I have to say, I'm seeing a copper pot or two as a terrific accent to this kitchen. Old world and modern all at once!
simply gorgeous
Looking at this in a sort-of "best of 2012" post. Beautiful, beautiful work. This is one of my fave spaces I've ever seen anywhere. Thanks for sharing it.

Your child may have just started high school or just gotten their driver's license. They may have a sense of freedom they never had before.Most teenagers are curious and want to do things their own way. But they also might feel pressure to fit in. That pressure might make it hard to resist alcohol if it seems like everyone else is trying it.The Best Time to Begin Talking Alcohol abuse is not only an adult problem. Most American high school seniors have had an alcoholic drink within the past month. About 5,000 people under the age of 21 die each year as a result of alcohol use.When a child begins drinking before age 15, he or she is much more likely to become a long-term drinker, or "problem drinker." About 1 in 5 teens are considered problem drinkers. This means they:Get drunk Have accidents related to drinking Get into trouble with the law, their family, friends, school, or people they dateThe best time to begin talking with your teen about drugs and alcohol is now. Children as young as 9 years old may become curious about drinking, and they may even try alcohol.Alcohol Can Cause Injury or DeathDrinking can lead to making decisions that cause harm. Alcohol abuse means any of these things are more likely to occur:Car crashes Falls, drowning, and other accidents Suicide Violence and homicide Being a victim of violent crimeRisky Sexual BehaviorAlcohol use can lead to risky sexual behavior. This increases the risk for:Sexually transmitted infections Unwanted pregnancy Sexual assault or rapeDrinking and SchoolTeens who drink tend to do worse in school. Over time, too much alcohol damages brain cells. This can lead to behavior problems and lasting damage to memory, thinking, and judgment. As a result, your teen's grades may suffer and their behaviors may get them into trouble.Health Problems Related to AlcoholThe effects of long-term alcohol use on the brain may be life-long. Drinking also creates a higher risk of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.Drinking during puberty can also change hormones in the body. This can disrupt growth and puberty.Too much alcohol at one time can cause serious injury or death from alcohol poisoning. This can occur with having as few as 4 drinks within 2 hours.Get Help for Your ChildIf you think your child is drinking but will not talk with you about it, get help.

Solicitor-General David Collins is going to the High Court to ask for American businessman Vincent Ross Siemer to be indefinitely imprisoned.
The civil case involves allegations that Siemer allegedly continues to breach an injunction which three years ago effectively gagged him from commenting on Vector chairman and insolvency expert Michael Stiassny.
The hearing has been set for Monday at Auckland.
"The Solicitor-General seeks an indefinite term of imprisonment until the court is satisfied that Siemer has complied with the injunction and has given an adequate undertaking not to breach it in the future," a spokesman for the Solicitor-General told NZPA today.
Mr Collins has applied to the High Court for Siemer to be found in contempt of court.
The hearing will be before two judges, who on May 29 rejected an application Siemer made for trial by jury under section 24(e) of the Bill of Rights Act 1990.
Mr Collins alleges that "by publishing material on certain websites", Siemer has been and continues to be in deliberate breach of an injunction made in the High Court in May 2005, "such that he is in contempt of court".
The Lawfuel website reported last night that the trial would canvass similar ground to a hearing conducted by Justice Judith Potter last year when she sentenced businessman Siemer to six weeks in prison for publishing allegations against Mr Stiassny, in breach of a court order.
The American, who lives in Springfield, Missouri, but also has a house north of Auckland, was arrested in 2007 on his arrival at Auckland Airport from the United States.
He was accused of defying a court order from April 2005 which directed him to stop spreading defamatory material about Mr Stiassny.
Siemer had previously been fined for failing to shut down a website detailing his legal dispute with Mr Stiassny, and in 2006 he and his company were ordered in the High Court at Auckland to pay $198,000 in fines and costs.
The Court of Appeal upheld the ruling, and the Supreme Court dismissed a further appeal by Siemer.
His six weeks in Mt Eden Prison, including a three-week hunger strike, are the subject of a book titled The Rock, available in New Zealand and sold on the internet by Amazon.com.
The Lawfuel website reported Siemer would argue that the Solicitor-General's action was barred by double jeopardy.
"He also maintains he had long ago proven in court that the injunction was incorrect in fact and law but that the judge simply ignored the law and evidence," Lawfuel reported.
"He says the gag order violates his freedom of expression guarantees in these circumstances".

2 Comments & Questions
Mr Siemer is a giant among men: in his fearless search for the truth, he deserves honorable recognition, not this judicial condemnation.
It is the entire shameful judicial system that is on trial now.
When judges ignore the law they are commissioned to uphold, and order imprisonment for a citizen who has the strength of will to tell
the truth in the only way left --to the World-Wide public forum-- when judges disregard factual evidence, when the complainant to the alleged defamation shows not the slightest intention of bringing his case to court (would that any judge might simply declare their personal and vested interets?) it becomes the case that is no longer the defendent ex-prisoner who is on trial, it is an entire incestuous system that demands public condemnation.
The judiciary cannot survive without jury fodder: pending a much hoped-for but most-unexpected acquittal, I rest my contemptuous case.
Good luck to Mr Siemer. My experience of doing business in New Zealand is that it is neither a safe place to invest, nor a safe place to do business.
With respect to the legal profession and judiciary, I am of the opinion that it is corrupt and the likelihood of a fair trial is quite low, given New Zealand is a country where it is acceptable for a judge to preside over a case involving her brother-in-law without disclosing the relationship.
Good luck Mr Siemer.

Inkscape - Easily create Vector based graphics. Alternative to Adobe Illustrator.
Amazon Cloud Player is the app I've been waiting for. I was using Spotify and paying for the premium feature so I could have some music on my iPhone. I told myself I would use this until Google or Amazon released one of their cloud player apps for the iPhone. Well, that has finally happened thanks to Amazon and the app is pretty freaking sweet. It does an excellent job between the offline and streaming side of things. I've only noticed one issue and that is when you go to download a playlist, it downloads the songs, but it doesn't add the playlist itself to the device. This is a pretty big annoyance to me and I do hope it is fixed shortly. Other than that, it's amazing and definitely worth checking out.
Paper is an awesome new app that allows you to create multiple moleskine notebooks and they draw or write on the page. By default, it comes with a pen and a eraser, but you can purchase other tools and even test them in a unique popup. The drawing in this is by far the best I've seen, it smooths out your strokes and is very responsive. It is free (one pen), so I highly recommend you give it a try.
Snackr is a new app for the iPhone that I've been using the past two days. It's one of my morning apps that I launch to catch up on current news. The app takes your chosen news sources and reads them to you. The apps voice calls itself Alfred, which is a great choice, because I'm Batman, lol. The app can will also pull in the weather and information from Facebook and keep you posted on friends birthdays and what not. I also have it setup to update me on NFL scores, but that obviously isn't working during this time of year, I wish they had the NHL added. I would be definitely taking advantage of that.
Bit.ly is a service that I'm sure a majority internet peeps are familiar with. It allows for users to take webpage URLs and get a usually shorter and trackable URL to use. It is really a great tool for marketing. It comes in very handy for tracking URLs on third party sites, like Twitter and Facebook, where you don't have access to the web analytics.

Scriptogr.am is a new application I stumbled across that takes advantage of your Dropbox account. It's a web app that allows you to store Markdown files within Dropbox and have them converted into posts for a blog. It's very straight forward and simple, which might make it the perfect solution. It allows you to customize the CSS for the page (I've noticed a few bugs with this) and use a custom domain. The project is still in beta, but I look forward to seeing where the project goes.
Summify is a tool that I recently heard about that helps you find the solid content from all your feeds. Feeds come from many places, such as, your favorite sites, blogs and even social media. It makes it easy to filter that content down to what is most relevant to you based on what is getting shared the most.
Currently, it supports, Facebook, Twitter and Google Reader. It limits the amount of content that it sends you. The most you can receive is 10 pieces of content 4 times a day. That's very minimal compared to what I would see by trying to keep up with my feeds. So, this helps me get back to the important work that I have to do or to what ever other method I use to kill time.

Delicious is back! Well, it never really left, but I did. I was using Delicious for a while, but I started to look from something that would work across browsers and machines. I know Delicious can accomplish this through it's extensions, but I was just not a fan of how it was working. So, I turned to Xmarks and tried that for a bit, but it really didn't work any better for me. Next up was Google Chrome's native bookmarks. The Chrome syncing made it so easy for me to have my bookmarks on all the machines I work on, plus all the other syncing capabilities are very convenient. I then heard Delicious would be going away and I made the decision to just use Chrome's bookmarks. So, yes, I deleted my account and that was a mistake, but now I'm back and loving it.
Delicious is great because it doesn't only bookmark your sites, but it gives you the capability to tag and provide descriptions for them. It allows me to track the when, why, where, how and even the who, if not myself; Which is very helpful for when your are searching or just don't remember why you bookmarked it in the first place. Plus, you can share your links or make them private.
Since they're back (not going away), they released a new feature with the server switch. They call this feature a "stack", which is a great tool for grouping your share-able links that relate to a certain topic. I have one for CodeIgniter, which just has a bunch of links for helping people get started using the amazing PHP framework.
If you looking for a great social bookmarking tool, check out Delicious.

KC Kingdom is expanding at a rapid pace, and our goal is to be the best Kansas City area sports site on the internet. Aaron, Josh, and I are pleased to announce we have added another new staff member, Brian Barnett, to our staff roster.
Brian will be helping in our effort to expand our Royals coverage, plus maybe stuff Chiefs, Tigers, and Sporting KC content as well. We are excited to have him writing for KC Kingdom.
Brian has hit the ground running, and has already published his first two articles with us. In his first article, he shows it may not be as hard as some think to replicate the stats from last years rotation, and he discusses the roster battles that do exist for the Royals this spring in his second article.
Like all of the new writers to KC Kingdom, Brian Barnett took a few minutes to answer eight questions so we can get to know him just a little better. Here are his answers to those 8 questions:
How did you become a fan of the team you're covering?
I have been a Royals fan for my entire life. Like everyone else my age, I would try to be George Brett every time I picked up a bat.
Where did you grow up and where do you currently live?
I moved from Kansas City out to Lees Summit when I was 12. My wife and I lived in Raytown for about 10 years before moving back to Lees Summit a couple of years ago.
What is your college/educational background?
Went to Longview for a year after high school, then went out to start working on computers as we started having kids.
What do you do for a living?
I.T. work for a law firm.
Do you have a family?
I am married, we have a 13 year old daughter and 10 year old son.
What do you like to do for fun (sports related or otherwise)?
Hanging out with my kids mostly. In the summer I love to get out every night and take care of our yard and flowers.
What are your least favorite team(s) and why?
The Broncos because of John Elway. The Jayhawks for being from a terrible state.
What is your favorite sports moment or memory?
Watching Sporting KC win the MLS cup last year. It was the first time that I was ever able to see a team I root for win a championship.
If you would like to write for KC Kingdom, covering the Chiefs, Royals, Sporting Kansas City, the Jayhawks, Wildcats, Tigers, or Shockers, please fill out our online application. We are always looking to add passionate fans to our roster of outstanding staff writers. We are happy to give anyone a voice but we really need writers to help with our college coverage. If you love the Tigers, Wildcats, Jayhawks, or Shockers, come join us at KC Kingdom as a staff writer.

Honey Ginger Tea & DIY Recipe
About a month ago, my mom bought a jar of Assi Honey Ginger Tea and told me that my aunt raved about the health and beauty benefits of ginger tea. I'm a big fan of tea in general but I'm not always consistent about drinking tea everyday. I really like the flavor of this tea and there has been some noticeable difference. This tea comes in a jar and it looks like a jam. Basically, you add a tablespoon of the tea to hot water and mix it well. It tastes the best when it's warm. My mom and I finished this big jar in about 2 weeks. Now we've switched to making this tea on our own using fresh ginger and honey.
Here's a little bit of background info on the benefits of ginger tea:
- Lower the chances of indigestion
- Soothes pain, menstrual cramps, headache, and inflammation
- Prevents nausea, cold, and flu
- Clears the skin using its Vitamin C and antibacterial properties
- Contains antioxidants to prevent aging
You can read more about it here.
Obviously, some of these benefits are long-term effects and don't show immediately results. But I have noticed a difference in reducing menstrual cramps and preventing nausea. Last week, I was sick with a nasty virus and it left me stuck in bed for a couple of days. I experienced nausea, dizziness, and excessive sweating. But drinking this tea has helped me to recover quite quickly.
To make this tea at home, simply boil a pot of water and add some chopped ginger and a bit of honey so that the tea doesn't taste too spicy. I usually make some concentrated tea and put it in a large jar. You can store it in the fridge for a few days. When I want to drink it, I would dilute the concentrated tea and heat it up in the microwave. It is best to consume ginger tea in the morning since the spice can really wake you up and the tea helps with digestion throughout the rest of the day.
I hope you'll give this a try!
Getting Your Body & Mind Ready for Finals Week
Hi guys! If you are a student like me, then you know that finals week is approaching quickly. I'm going to share some tips on how to prepare for exams and maintain your sanity during this crazy time of the year. Sometimes I feel like this type of posts are more of a pep talk for myself, but I hope you'll find something useful!
Study Tips:
Note: I was a science major in college so whatever I say probably applies to science courses more than humanities courses.
- Start early! I really mean it. Start studying at least 2 weeks before your exam to allow enough time to go through all the material. I know it's really hard to start studying for the final exam while you still have other assignments due. But start small by spending 15 minutes per night reviewing and then gradually increase that amount of time as it gets closer to the exam.
- For concepts that you have to memorize, write them all out (by hand if possible) and study them everyday before the exam. I usually write out a long version first, and then create a condensed version to pinpoint all the crucial points.
- For classes that you have to solve problems (such as genetics, chemistry, physics, math), learn the concepts first, identify different types of problems, do practice problems, and summarize how you should approach each type of problems. Make a list of the step-by-step procedure if the material isn't too theoretical.
- Do practice exams and time yourself! Unfortunately, not all professors are willing to provide those….
Take Care of Your Body:
- Eat healthy, snack often. I don't know about you, but I get hungry really easily when I study! My favorite snacks while studying are: Greek yogurt with granola and nuts, mixed fruit bowl (I suggest chopping up the fruit right after a meal and put them in a Tupperware. Trust me, if you are too lazy to chop/peel fruit when you are full, you won't do it when you are hungry.), chips & guac, and dark chocolate (can't live without my dark chocolate :P).
- Get some rest. I know it's much easier said than done but make sleep a priority. Sleep at least 6 hours per night. Being well rested makes studying easier.
- Stay (somewhat) physically active. Time is tight but try to exercise/play sports twice a week and take walks on the other days.
- Drink lots of water, don't drink too much coffee. Although I love my daily cup of coffee, I usually can't stand the taste of coffee during finals week because I'm so tired of the taste. I like to drink green tea when I'm stressed because I find it to be very calming. I normally just use whole leaf green tea and add some honey in there.
- Use a sheet mask 1-2 times a week. Stress is a major cause of dull skin. Sheet masks are easy to put on and remove. Plus you can keep doing your work while you have the mask on.
Positive Mindset:
- It's natural to get overwhelmed but don't stress too much. Breakdown your larger tasks into smaller bits and you'll get more done than you expect. I love making lists so I depend on my Todoist app to keep me on top of things.
- Don't be too hard on yourself if you slack off for a little bit. Just pick yourself up and focus on your work afterwards. Get rid of distractions such as electronics. It's too bad that the SelfControl app doesn't work in OS X Mavericks. Now I gotta exercise real self-control :P
- Change your study/work environment so you don't get too comfortable. For example, rotate between studying at the library, coffee shop, your desk, dining table, etc.
- Listen to instrumental music. I've been really enjoying the Study Music Project, created by a current medical student. You can listen to his music here on his YouTube channel.
- If you are soooo stressed that you feel like you are on the verge of a mental breakdown, stop what you are doing and take a break! Spend an hour watching TV, reading, drawing, baking, napping, or whatever that helps you to relax. Sometimes you need to get your mind off your work so you can approach it with a new attitude later.
- Resist the urge to online shop. I have this bad habit of really wanting to online shop whenever I'm stressed out, but I end up regretting most of those purchases. To deal with this, I have 2 solutions: 1) create a Pinterest board of the things you want instead of actually buying them, 2) write down "I saved $____ today by practicing self-control" on a slip of paper and put it in a jar. I know they are kinda silly but they work!
Phew, you finally reached the end of the post! I wish you all the best of luck with your final exams! Hang in there!
Ginseng Green Tea Recipe
During the summer time, one of the favorite beverages is the green tea. Today I'll show you how I like to make my tea.
A little bit of scientific background: Green tea comes from the plant Camellia sinensis, which is rich in polyphenols, a type of antioxidant. Antioxidants neutralizes free radicals and help to prevent cell and tissue damage (anti-aging). The flavonoids in green tea are natural anti-inflammatory compounds that have shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.
Personally, I prefer using loose leaf tea. I recently started adding another ingredient, ginseng. Ginseng is a root that has many health benefits, including:
- physical/mental health stimulant
- weight control (appetite suppressant)
- relieving menstrual cramps.
It's important to use ginseng in moderation. For tea, chop up the ginseng and use 1 tbsp of ginseng per 1 cup of water. I'd suggest purchasing ginseng in the form of small pre-cut pieces or powder. It's really difficult to cut ginseng roots so it's better to leave the cutting up to the manufacturer.
- boil the water
- add green tea and ginseng into a cup/teapot
- add hot water into the cup
- let the tea and ginseng steep
- remove the ginseng after a few minutes
- lastly and this is optional, serve the tea over ice
I hope you enjoyed this simple recipe! This is a really easy way to flush out the toxins in our bodies and improve the overall skin complexion. I usually make a pot of tea in the morning so I can drink it throughout the day. I'm not the best when it comes to drinking lots of water, but making this tea helps. In the next few weeks, I'll be posting a few different DIY green tea mask recipes using the tea leaves from this beverage. Be on the lookout for these effective and affordable beauty masks!

|Friendly islanders welcome us in their village of nipa (palm) huts at Guinahoan Island
|Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Caramoan town
|Small bangka at Guijalo Port, Caramoan
Getting to Caramoan involves transfering from Naga to Sabang port (1 hour) in San Jose, then catching a lantsa (outrigger ferry) (PHP 120, 2 hours) or ro-ro ferry boat (PHP 150, 2.5 hours) to Guijalo port in Caramoan municipality.
Though connected to mainland Luzon, Caramoan proper is more accessible by sea because the road that connects it to the rest of the province remains undeveloped. From Guijalo, it's a 20-minute ride to Caramoan town, where most of the budget guesthouses are, halfway to the northern jetty of Bikal where bangkas (outrigger boats) take tourists to the numerous offshore islands. A full-day boat rental would normally cost 1,500 to 2,500 depending on the distance of the islands to be visited.
For a DIY budget breakdown, check out this entry by Tripadora.

AMD Banks On Flood of Stream Apps
timothy posted more than 5 years ago | from the streams-come-with-banks-anyhow dept.124
Slatterz writes "Closely integrating GPU and CPU systems was one of the motivations for AMD's $5.4bn acquisition of ATI in 2006. Now AMD is looking to expand its Stream project, which uses graphics chip processing cores to perform computing tasks normally sent to the CPU, a process known as General Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU). By leveraging thousands of processing cores on a graphics card for general computing calculations, tasks such as scientific simulations or geographic modelling, which are traditionally the realm of supercomputers, can be performed on smaller, more affordable systems. AMD will release a new driver for its Radeon series on 10 December which will extend Stream capabilities to consumer cards." Reader Vigile adds: "While third-party consumer applications from CyberLink and ArcSoft are due in Q1 2009, in early December AMD will release a new Catalyst driver that opens up stream computing on all 4000-series parts and a new Avivo Video Converter application that promises to drastically increase transcoding speeds. AMD also has partnered with Aprius to build 8-GPU stream computing servers to compete with NVIDIA's Tesla brand."

Promoting Fat Shaming? Really?
"Expert" claims nothing else works as well as shaming to encourage overweight to eat less and move more.
Full disclosure: the guy who's proposing this is 82 and probably grew up in the "you'll go blind if you rub it" era.
Also, the same guy is an ex-smoker, who says that people shunning him for his "nasty" habit played a big part in his cessation.
I used to smoke a pack and a half a day, and let me tell you — I couldn't care less if the overwhelming portion of the populace thought it was gross. Other people's opinions weighed fuck-all in my decision to quit. I quit burning tobacco because I was afraid I was going to have a fucking stroke if I didn't.
TL;DR - Self-confessed easily manipulated tool of popular opinion promotes bullying. Fuck him in the goat ass and no one owes him or anyone else a fucking explanation for their size.
If shaming worked I'd have shamed myself gaunt by now.
Gaunt!? If I could be shamed, I'd be a fucking gaunt, poor, celibate, uber christian, bible bashing missionary …
I have the type of body that evolution perfected for "persistence hunting" - one that was useful to generations upon generations of my ancestors to work all day and survive on what was available. I am the only person I know who became a vegetarian for a decade AND PUT ON WEIGHT! I have the evolutionary results of genes designed to survive and become uber efficient within 10 days - which means I need to have new forms of physical activity every ten days - otherwise my body WILL start squireling away energy even if I ate nothing but Brussel Sprouts.
Shaming? Fuck you. I have a sedentary lifestyle based on a society that values earning money more than it values any other thing. I already succumbed to the shaming of being "successful" as a "working member of society" rather than doing what I love, but society deems is not worth paying for.
Further, why is it always those who can eat three cheesecakes in a row and do 20 minutes in a gym who are the ones quick to state these stupidities?
Well, that escalated quickly from a snide joke to an angry rant …
as you were.
Also, I just discovered that I'm a persistence hunter. Cool!

Nursing Jobs Abroad - An Overview
Last Updated: 22-10-2013
Your job as a nurse can take you overseas, so if you've always yearned for travel and excitement, why not consider working abroad? You could work your way around the world, nursing in countries that appeal to you. Nurses are in high demand all over the world.
From the Middle East to the United Kingdom, you can use your nursing qualifications to fund your trip overseas. And when you get time off, you can explore and experience the exciting sights and culture of your new country.
There are jobs available for Australian nurses in the Middle East, New Zealand, Canada, and the United Kingdom. For example, if you obtain a nursing position in Dubai, as well as your normal salary, you could also receive an accommodation allowance, furniture allowance, return economy flight to Australia and 30 days paid holiday per year. It's
One of the best ways to find overseas nursing jobs is to sign up with a reputable nursing agency that has listings for overseas nursing jobs. They will know if you need a working visa (depending on the country you wish to work in), if you need to be licensed as a nurse for that particular country and what you need to do in order to be licensed in that country. For instance, you may need to sit a nursing exam before you can practise in another country.
A reputable nursing agency that is experienced in dealing with overseas employment can help you get organised, and will also help you if any professional or cultural problems arise with your new employer. When you start work in a new country, it's important to observe the cultural practices of your host country. For instance, the UAE is an Islamic country so you would need to observe the cultural traditions of this country.
If a job in the UK appeals, to you, then you will need to apply for registration with the UK Nursing and Midwifery Council before you can start work. Many Australian nurses enjoy working in the UK as the culture is similar and there is no language barrier. There are also wonderful stately homes and lush countryside to explore, and since the UK is a small country compared to Australia, distances between cities and towns are quite short.
There are many jobs available to nurses all over the world, so if working abroad appeals to you, then either sign up with a reputable nursing agency, or browse the overseas job listings for nurses on job websites such as www.ncah.com.au to find a job that you'd like to apply for. Just make sure that you do your homework and have all the paperwork you will need to work in your new country. You don't want to be stranded without work a long way from home!

With 94:30 of the 95:00 minutes in Team USA's match against Portugal in the books, the US Men's National Team looked to be well on their way to winning their second consecutive pool match and clinching a spot in the Round of 16.
Just thirty seconds later, the entire country was left in a state of shock, after Portugal tied the game on a last second header, set up by Ballon d'Or winner Cristiano Ronaldo. More importantly, the US had failed to clinch a spot in the next round, keeping all four teams in Group G alive.
So the million-dollar question remained: How do the men in Red, White and Blue make it to the Knockout Stage?
If you're a causal fan who wants the simplest of scenarios, any one of these three, basic, tiebreak free outcomes would result in the advancement of Team USA:
- Team USA defeats Germany (Thursday at 11:30am)
- Team USA ties Germany
- Portugal and Ghana tie, regardless of the score
If you're interested in a more in-depth look, here are a few scenarios in which the USA can advance, even with a loss to Germany and a winner in the Ghana/Portugal Matchup:
- If Germany defeats the USA by 1 goal
- Ghana must win by only 1 goal
- Or, Portugal must win by 4 goals or less (i.e. 5-1, 4-0)
- If Germany defeats the USA by 2 goals
- Portugal must win by 3 goals or less
NOTE: If Ghana wins outright in this scenario, they advance
- If Germany defeats the USA by 3 goals
- Portugal must win by 2 goals or less
NOTE: If Ghana wins outright in this scenario, they advance
- If Germany defeats the USA by 4 goals
- Portugal must win by 1 goal
NOTE: If Ghana wins outright in this scenario, they advance
Some of the above scenarios would result in dead ties between the USA and Portugal, depending on the score, (for example, if Germany beats the USA 4-0 and Portugal defeats Ghana 2-1) which would require a coin-flip to determine who advances.
One thing that is certain: You don't want to miss the matchup between the USA and Germany this coming Thursday. It is sure to be an instant classic.
In a dream world, the USA beats or ties Germany, and we take care of business ourselves. However, much like many of the teams I root for (Mets, Jets etc.), this team has proven to be heartbreakers. They played an unbelievable match against Portugal and still only managed a draw. Reminds me so much of those 14-hit, 1-0 games the Mets seem to lose once a week.
I just wish Jürgen Klinsmann (who you'll remember is a German hero) could tell Germany to just kick the ball around with us on Thursday. After all, a 0-0 draw would be an ideal outcome for both squads. Germany would win Group G outright, the US would advance as the group's runner-up, and all the while, both the teams would have a little rest before the next round.
Too bad FIFA doesn't fix the World Cup, however.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see what this outcome is on Thursday. I think I speak for all of New York and the country when I say: I couldn't be more excited.

Kayaking originated among the Inuit, the natives of Greenland, probably a thousand or more years ago. Qajaq is the Inuit word that we know as kayak. For the Inuit, the kayak was an essential tool for hunting seals, a critical source of food. These sturdy, lightweight craft consisted of a skeletal wooden frame (made from driftwood, as there are no trees native to Greenland) assembled for the most part without metal fasteners, which was covered with sealskin. This type of construction is called skin-on-frame, often abbreviated as S-O-F or SOF.

Modelmaking has been a passion of mine that has developed from a young age. I've always loved making things and as I've progressed with ability, attention for detail, and patience, my models have improved as well as my ambition. At university I've been developing my skills in many areas of model making, but so far my strengths have lied in architecture, product and paper engineering. I have had work exhibited in Norwich Sainsburys Centre, Ely Babylon Gallery, and I've had commissions from a variety of clients.

New York City. Make It Here.
Foreign journalists from Australia, China, France, Israel, and Japan gathered at Varick Street Incubator yesterday for the kick-off screening of two video profiles of NYC startup companies that have graduated from our network of City-sponsored incubators and since expanded to their own office space here in New York City. Micah Kotch of NYU-Poly also provided a tour of the incubator (photos) where attendees interacted with startup companies currently working there, and NYCEDC President Seth Pinsky presented on how New York City is working to spur entrepreneurship across all industries in the City.
The videos we screened are from our new series, "NEW YORK CITY. MAKE IT HERE.," which features different business enterprises and owners in the City telling their own success stories, including how NYCEDC helped them "make it" in NYC through programs and resources.
The first video (top) is from EcoLogic founder Anselm Doering. It tells the story of how he founded and took EcoLogic Solutions from his apartment to the Varick Street Incubator, and then to the Brooklyn Navy Yard as a thriving business. EcoLogic's mission is to bring the safest, most effective and cost-competitive cleaning products and solutions to institutions.
The second video (below) is from Pixable CEO Inaki Berenguer, and tells the story of how he—an immigrant entrepreneur from Spain— started his tech startup at MIT, moved into the City's first incubator at 160 Varick Street, and became the first company from the incubator to graduate and expand to its own office space in NYC. Click below to play:
