Last Night's 'Chuck' Was The Lowest Rated Ever (Subway, Get Ready)
How can a show that is as freakin' entertaining and fun as 'Chuck' get low ratings like this? Sure, the switch to Daylight Savings Time means that shows see a bit of a ratings slide, but I'm not convinced that's the only reason that 'Chuck' got its lowest ratings ever for last night's episode.
I don't know what we can do to save the show, but creator Josh Schwartz says that "it's time to get organized." Subway subs again? I think Chuck and Morgan have been eating their food on the show again lately so maybe they knew something we didn't.
The funny thing is, with the recent plot developments on the show (Morgan finding out about the spy stuff, the revelations about Casey's real identity, the fact that Chuck is becoming more independent), this might be a logical season to end the show. But I want the show to continue. It's massive fun, and those very same points are also reasons for the show to continue for another season.

Studio Impressions was established in Brisbane, Australia over 10 years ago by photographer Marcus Bell and his wife Penny. Marcus' natural ability to capture the spirit and character of the people he photographs has always shone through in his work and continues to form the base of the studio's signature style.
Today, Studio Impressions is considered one of the leading wedding and portrait photography studios in the world. We are a small, close-knit group of creatives. We are especially passionate about photographing people and the moments that are important in their lives. We aren't a great big studio with lots of casual or contract photographers on staff. We also aren't a tiny operation with too much to juggle.
We use the finest materials and partner with the most talented professionals in our industry to produce albums, framed images, boxed sets, artworks and more – special things that you will treasure for life. To ensure the highest quality, we do not outsource and process all the images at the studio.
The Australian Institute of Professional Photography has awarded him the highest accolade in the profession, Grand Master of Photography – the youngest Grand Master ever. He has been named Australian Wedding Photographer of the Year three times, Queensland Professional Photographer of the Year twice and Queensland Wedding Photographer of the Year four times. He has won numerous international awards for his work including the highly-coveted Grand Award for Photojournalism at the Wedding and Portrait Photographers International Awards in the USA, and the International Wedding Print of the Year at the Prix de la Photographie in Paris.
Marcus' expertise in photography has also been recognised by large photographic companies such as Adobe and Nikon who have chosen Marcus to be an ambassador for their photographic products.
Honestly, it is not the awards that make him a great wedding photographer.
First and foremost, Marcus is simply a nice guy. He's a self-confessed romantic with a relaxed and calming nature that puts you at ease. He has a quiet passion for people and their relationships, for families, for touching moments, and an over-abundance of technical ability. Marcus has combined all of this with his love of dramatic natural-landscapes to create a style that is distinctly his own. He is one of the most experienced wedding photographers that you will find. He loves it. Everything about it. It's his way of giving people a record of their love and their lives to share for generations – simply beautiful images that tell simply beautiful stories.
Marcus' industry qualifications include: Grand Master of Photography Australia, AIPP. Master of Photography USA, WPPI. Fellow of Photography UK, SWPP
With 8 years' experience in the photographic industry, 5 of those at Studio Impressions, Gabe has been to more weddings than most guys his age. An avid traveller, his photography has taken him to wedding destinations from Melbourne to North Queensland, and even to New York.
A man of many talents, you might also have seen him in advertising for the Valley Markets or on Masterchef (yes the TV show). He is not only a great cook but a fantastic food photographer. He knows how to capture the love that is there, in the detail. You see that in his wedding photography too. Images that express the subtlety in relationships. The delicateness of love.
Gabe is a quiet achiever, who produces things of beauty in whatever he turns his talents to. His other job at Studio Impressions is to help design your album, retouching your images to bring your story to life. His photographic skill and background in graphic design, coupled with his inherent ability to wade through thousands of photographs and put the right ones together, makes Gabe the ultimate story teller at Studio Impressions.
She too is an award winning photographer with her talent being recognised numerous times with awards from the Australian Institute of Professional Photography, and also from the Federation of European Photographers. Recently, Aurelie was a finalist for 2013 AIPP Queensland Wedding Photographer of the Year, and runner-up 2012 AIPP Queensland Illustrative Photographer of the Year.
Aurelie is much more than a wedding photographer, she is also a master at image retouching – she enhances the features and takes away any distracting elements from your photos, turning already beautiful images into works of art.
When she's behind the lens she focuses on telling your story. She used to be a journalist and has a secret talent as a short story writer. Now she writes stories in pictures. And they are beautiful. It's no surprise that Capture Magazine voted her runner-up Australia's Top Emerging Wedding Photographer in 2013, along with being a finalist in the landscape category.
She is an unassuming observer. Quiet and sweet. Talented and professional. Like all of us at Studio Impressions, Aurelie is inspired by people, their relationships and their interactions. She loves the real emotions that you see and feel at a wedding. She captures this and mixes in a little landscape, a little street photography, drawing some inspiration from her travels, to produce magic photos in the true Studio Impressions style. If that wasn't enough, Aurelie is French, which might explain how she brings that little je ne sais quoi to her photography.
A hopeless romantic, Jarred, was destined to be a wedding photographer. He discovered the power of photography on a trip through Egypt and Morocco, and now travels the globe photographing people in love.
From Paris, to New York, Fiji to London, Jarred has been invited to capture that special bond between two people. In fact it was love that brought Jarred to Studio Impressions. After 5 years photographing for one of Sydney's leading wedding studios, Jarred lost his heart to a Brisbane girl. He invited Studio Impressions to capture his secret proposal, and we invited Jarred to join our team.
You will find Jarred's work published in many magazines or blogs but you won't find him bragging about it. Like true romantics, he is understated and genuine. Like a true professional he is meticulous and dedicated. That is probably why he has been identified by Capture magazine as one of Australia's Top Emerging Photographers. His images are filled with warmth and happiness. Little love stories in every shot.

- Description:
ELKI: "Environment for Developing KDD-Applications Supported by Index-Structures" is a development framework for data mining algorithms written in Java. It includes a large variety of popular data mining algorithms, distance functions and index structures.
Its focus is particularly on clustering and outlier detection methods, in contrast to many other data mining toolkits that focus on classification. Additionally, it includes support for index structures to improve algorithm performance such as R*-Tree and M-Tree.
The modular architecture is meant to allow adding custom components such as distance functions or algorithms, while being able to reuse the other parts for evaluation.
This package also includes the source code, since this software is meant for the rapid development of such algorithms, not so much for end users.
- Changes to previous version:
New beta release, including some new algorithms (ODIN, PINN, full O(n^3) Hierarchical Clustering, new cluster extraction methods from hierarchies), new index structures (in-memory k-d tree, LSH, projected indexes, PINN), new visualizations and much more.
This release requires Java 7, for the new visualizations also JOGL will be needed.

Version Changelog Date 0.7.0-20150828
Additions and Improvements from ELKI 0.6.0:
Uncertain data types, and clustering algorithms for uncertain data.
Major refactoring of distances - removal of Distance values and removed support for non-double-valued distance functions. While this reduces the generality of ELKI, we could remove about 2.5% of the codebase by not having to have optimized codepaths for double-distance anymore. Generics for distances were present in almost any distance-based algorithm, and we were also happy to reduce the use of generics this way. Support for non-double-valued distances can trivially be added again, e.g. by adding the specialization one level higher: at the query instead of the distance level, for example.
In this process, we also removed the Generics from NumberVector. The object-based get was deprecated for a good reason long ago, and e.g. doubleValue are more efficient (even for non-DoubleVectors).
Dropped some long-deprecated classes
Clustering algorithms:
- speedups for some initialization heuristics
- K-means++ initialization no longer squares distances (again)
- farthest-point heuristics now uses minimum instead of sum (renamed)
- additional evaluation criteria
- Elkan's and Hamerly's faster k-means variants
CLARA clustering
Hierarchical clustering
- Renamed naive algorithm to AGNES
- Anderbergs algorithm (faster than AGNES, slower than SLINK)
- CLINK for complete linkage clustering in O(n²) time, O(n) memory
- Simple extraction from HDBSCAN
- "Optimal" extraction from HDBSCAN
- HDBSCAN, in two variants
LSDBC clustering
EM clustering was refactored and moved into its own package. The new version is much more extensible.
Parallel computation framework, and some parallelized algorithms
- Parallel k-means
- Parallel LOF and variants
- LibSVM format parser
- kNN classification (with index acceleration)
Evaluation: Internal cluster evaluation:
- Silhouette index
- Simplified Silhouette index (faster)
- Davis-Bouldin index
- PBM index
- Variance-Ratio-Criteria
- Sum of squared errors
- C-Index
- Concordant pair indexes (Gamma, Tau)
- Different noise handling strategies for internal indexes
Statistical dependence measures:
- Distance correlation dCor.
- Hoeffings D.
- Some divergence / mutual information measures.
Distance functions:
- Big refactoring.
- Time series distances refactored, allow variable length series now.
- Hellinger distance and kernel function.
- Faster MDS implementation using power iterations.
Indexing improvements:
- Precomputed distance matrix "index".
- iDistance index (static only).
- Inverted-list index for sparse data and cosine/arccosine distance.
- cover tree index (static only).
Frequent Itemset Mining:
- Improved APRIORI implementation.
- FP-Growth added.
- Eclat (basic version only) added.
Uncertain clustering:
- Discrete and continuous data models
- FDBSCAN clustering
- UKMeans clustering
- CKMeans clustering
- Representative Uncertain Clustering (Meta-algorithm)
- Center-of-mass meta Clustering (allows using other clustering algorithms on uncertain objects) (KDD'14)
Outlier detection changes / smaller improvements:
- KDEOS outlier detection (SDM14)
- k-means based outlier detection (distance to centroid) and Silhouette coefficient based approach (which does not work too well on the toy data sets - the lowest silhouette are usually where two clusters touch).
- bug fix in kNN weight, when distances are tied and kNN yields more than k results.
- kNN and kNN weight outlier have their k parameter changed: old 2NN outlier is now 1NN outlier, as commonly understood in classification literature (1 nearest neighbor ''other than the query object''; whereas in database literature the 1NN is usually the query object itself). You can get the old result back by decreasing k by one easily.
- LOCI implementation is now only O(n^3 log n) instead of O(n^4).
MiniGUI has two "secret" new options: -minigui.last -minigui.autorun to load the last saved configuration and run it, for convenience.
Logging API has been extended, to make logging more convenient in a number of places (saving some lines for progress logging and timing).
September 17, 2015, 10:20:30 0.6.0

'Chuck' Co-Creator Chris Fedak on "Season 3.2"
In our wide-ranging talk, Fedak and I talked about how the pickup affected the writing process, how the new dynamic between the characters on the show is playing out, if he fears the energy will fizzle, why Tony Hale wasn't around this year, and if he's confident the show will get a season four.
(Warning: Fedak talked fast, so this is a long interview, with a very minor spoiler near the end. But there's a ton of good info for 'Chuck' fanatics, so read and enjoy!)
'Chuck' vs. WonderCon! Relationship and Finale Scoop from the Cast & Crew
According to incredibly affable 'Chuck' star Zachary Levi, they wrapped filming on season 3 two weeks ago. However, he is not a fan of spoilers and heard that there was allegedly a mole on the set of the show. "We didn't even get the last four or five pages of the last script. That's the first time that ever happened. It always boggles my mind that people would want to spoil that. It takes away from the whole experience of any show, especially a show that's so rooted in certain mythologies."
'Chuck' Star Joshua Gomez Talks Gamer Lifestyle (VIDEO)
Gomez treated Hoda and Kathie Lee to some video game acting on 'Today' (weekdays, 7AM on NBC). Gomez said his life hasn't changed much since 'Chuck,' although he's now a voice actor for many of the games he plays. The actor also revealed every geek's fantasy: a hot girlfriend who plays video games ... and he just happens to have one. "I have a beautiful girlfriend ... she's stunning, I tricked her somehow and she plays video games too, so I lucked out."
Full video after the jump.
Chuck Tells Morgan He's a Spy on 'Chuck' (VIDEO)
We loved Morgan's geeky delight upon learning that his best friend is "a member of a joint NSA/CIA black ops team that is stationed here in Burbank." We expected nothing less than glee from Morgan, and he so delivered.
Where will it go from here? We can't wait to find out.
Watch the video after the jump.
TV Squad Ten: TV's top second bananas
When it came time to put together this list, I wondered if I'd be able to find ten viable and qualified bananas on the airwaves today. But I guess I needn't have worried. It looks like Barney was an inspiration (in more ways than one) to the current crop of second bananas. They litter their peels all over the television landscape, leaving us to trip over in laughter time and time again at their antics. But how do they stack up? Who's the biggest fruit in the tree? There's only one way to find out!
Chuck - VIDEO - Comic-Con Report
There are only so many hours of television I can fit in a day, so I'm picky and particular about what I watch. Chuck is one of those shows that I watched early last season, I liked it, but for reasons I can't think of, it didn't make the cut. Seeing as it was good enough and is clearly popular enough to have a second season, with the first season DVDs out in a couple of months, I may have to do some catching up and find a way to fit it in.
This session was great for fans of the show, as the first five minutes or so were filled with a video montage of scenes from next season. I'll describe some of those scenes in my summary below, but I'll start them off with SPOILER in case you don't want to know.
Big shock of the day -- Chuck's Gomez is a gaming wonk
Joshua Gomez, Morgan on the NBC action-comedy Chuck, loves his video games. And, when I say 'loves' I really mean 'LOVES'. He's a man who can spout philosophically about the difference between Halo and Halo 2, and can spend 12 straight hours on the couch playing Xbox. Now, that's dedication! Especially since he never mentions anything about bathroom breaks.
So, being cast as a die hard gaming wonk on Chuck was probably the best thing that could have happened to him. That, and he was able to find a kindred gaming spirit in the show's star, Zach Levi. In an article at the gaming website Kotaku, Gomez talks about the game references that are liberally sprinkled throughout an episode. He mentions that many of those references are ad-libbed because the writers aren't actually gamers, themselves.

Charges have been filed against three people involved in a Sept. 27 altercation in Glenwood that escalated into a shooting outside the home of Glenwood Community High School principal Richard Hutchinson. The incident occurred around 5:45 p.m. near 209 N. Myrtle St., Hutchinson's residence.
Denver Cook, 18 of Glenwood, is charged with willful injury, a class "C" felony, and assault causing bodily injury, a serious misdemeanor.
Colton McDaniel, 21 of Glenwood, is charged with assault causing bodily injury, a serious misdemeanor.
A Mills County man is facing an animal abuse charge and four counts of assault while displaying a dangerous weapon after shooting and killing a dog in front of teenagers who were walking with the animal along a gravel road.
The incident occurred last month on Rains Ave. in southern Mills County, near U.S. Highway 275.
A former Pacific Junction city clerk is facing criminal charges following an investigation by the Iowa State Auditor's Office and Mills County Sheriff's Office.
Kari Williams, 43, turned herself into authorities last month and has been charged with first-degree theft and felonious misconduct, Class "D" felonies, and tampering with records, an aggravated misdemeanor. She's also accused of failing to properly publish city council meeting Her preliminary in Mills County District Court is scheduled for today (Oct. 7).
CRESTON - Glenwood exploded for 28 points in the second quarter to blow open a 14-14 ball game and cruised to its fifth straight victory of the season with a 56-35 victory on the road at Creston Friday.
The Rams matched a season-high in points and racked up 505 yards in downing the 3-2 Panthers. The Rams' 5-0 start to the season is the best in school history.
HARLAN - The Glenwood girls placed third and the boys sixth at the Harlan Invitational Cross Country Meet Saturday.
Denison won the girls team title with 47 points while Underwood's Karley Larson won the individual crown with a top time of 19:25.08.
The Glenwood girls finished with 101 points, 11 points behind runner up Harlan.
The Rams' Aubrey McIntyre finished with a time of 21:03.15 to place seventh overall. Kate Kaufman added an 11th place finish and Lacey Jackson a 22nd place showing.
MALVERN - All night, Fremont-Mills' Parker Powers had been bottled up by bracket coverage, double teams and an aggressive East Mills defense.
None of that mattered on perhaps the biggest play of the game.
Following Sam Phillips' game tying two-yard touchdown run, Powers' leapt over a Wolverine defender and snagged a Phillips' pass to give his team the lead for good with just 1:39 to go in the No. 1 ranked Knights' 24-22 victory on Homecoming Night in Malvern Friday night.
There are plenty of fish in the sea, or in Glenwood's case, plenty of fish in the lake.
Fishing was already on the upswing at Glenwood Lake Park over the past few years, but now there's an additional 270 catfish in the two lakes at the park thanks to an Iowa Department of Natural Resources (DNR) program.
The catfish, 8-10 inches in length, were placed in the lake recently by Brian Hayes, a DNR fisheries biologist.
Kolten Wilwerding tossed a school-record six touchdown passes and the Glenwood defense was stifling in a 42-0 victory over Denison in front of a reporter-estimated crowd of 1,800 on Homecoming Night in Glenwood Friday.
Four of Wilwerding's record-breaking touchdown passes came in the first half while the Ram defense limited the Monarchs (0-6) to 47 yards on 27 first half plays in cruising to their first 6-0 start in school history.
Matt Malcom will be remaining in black and gold for his collegiate wrestling career.
Malcom, a Glenwood senior, has committed to the University of Iowa wrestling program. He is the first Ram to accept a Division I wrestling scholarship since Mitch Artist signed with Iowa State in 2005.
"I just fit in really, really well I felt like with my style of wrestling and just the atmosphere," Malcom said of his commitment to the Hawkeyes. "I love the coaches. Everything just fit perfectly."
TABOR - Fremont-Mills got a homecoming scare from visiting Stanton Friday night, but held on for a 30-22 Eight-man, District 8 victory. The Knights improved to 6-0 with the win, while the Vikings fell to 4-2.
"I didn't expect us to play as poorly on the offensive side," Fremont-Mills head coach Jeremy Christiansen said. "They (Stanton) did a good job of keeping the ball out of our hands. Defensively, we held them in check until we had some breakdowns in coverage in the second half."

Oklahoma State football notebook: Mike Gundy passes Pat Jones as Cowboys' all-time wins leader
Gundy said after the game that safeties Lavocheya Cooper and Isaac Maselera are no longer with the team.
Cooper, a junior from Arp, Texas, left the squad for undisclosed personal reasons. Gundy said Maselera's departure was for a violation of team rules.
Maselera, a sophomore from Glenpool, pleaded guilty to possession of drug paraphernalia on Monday, and received a six-month deferred sentence, community service and a fine.
Charlie Moore was one of the busiest Cowboys on the field Saturday.
The junior receiver had eight receptions for 129 yards, both career highs. He had a 74-yard touchdown, his second straight game with a TD of 70-plus yards.
Moore was the fourth OSU receiver to have a 100-yard game this season, which is a single-season school record. Tracy Moore, Blake Jackson and Josh Stewart are the other three.
Charlie Moore also resumed the duties of punt returner. Iowa State punted nine times, and Moore had four returns for 28 yards.
Saturday brought the long-awaited arrival of Oklahoma State's orange helmets, which accompanied an all-orange uniform combination.
The helmets, which had white facemasks and a logo of Pistol Pete's head on each side, were generally well-accepted.
"The helmets were nice," running back Joseph Randle said. "I liked the uniform today. I was hyped when I saw 'em when I first walked in. We've been waiting a long time for those orange helmets."
While most people seemed to like the new helmets, not everyone enjoyed the Clemson-like combination with orange jerseys and pants.
"Not a fan of the ALL orange OSU uni's. Helmets are pretty sweet but the combo is just too much!" former Cowboy quarterback Brandon Weeden posted on Twitter Saturday.
Weeden coordinated the Cowboys' uniform combinations last season.
According to OSU media relations, the last time OSU wore orange helmets was believed to be in 1979, and Saturday was believed to be the first time in school history that Pistol Pete was featured on the helmet.
Quarterback J.W. Walsh recorded his third 300-yard passing game — the most ever by an OSU freshman — and the 12th 400-yard passing game in OSU history. Walsh's 415 yards is the second-most by a freshman in OSU history, behind Lunt's 436-yard game at Arizona in September... Redshirt freshman receiver Torrance Carr saw his first career action after recovering from a preseason injury, but the 6-foot-2, 215-pounder did not catch a pass... When Iowa State scored on its opening drive Saturday, it marked the first game this season in which OSU did not score first... Saturday's attendance was 57,019.

But, Bazarian added that the researchers only know for sure that there's an immune response. They really don't know whether it's a damaging response or even a protective one at this point.
The issue of repeated blows to the head during play came to the forefront last year after the former National Football League star linebacker Junior Seau killed himself. It was later found that he had a catastrophic brain disorder thought to be caused by repeated blows to the head.
Because so many athletes suffer less serious hits to the head, Bazarian and his colleagues wanted to assess how these types of hits might affect the brain and body.
Blood samples were collected from 67 players before and after games. The number of hits to the head was assessed through video review, and asking players how many times they'd been hit in the head. Ten of the players also underwent brain imaging.
They found that the more hits to the head a player took, the higher the levels of S100B. They also had higher levels of the antibodies. Players who usually sat on the bench had lower levels of these markers.
Researchers also noted changes in brain imaging that correlated with higher levels of S100B, according to the study.
"This is yet another piece of information showing that sub-concussive blows can potentially be bad. It might not be the injury itself, but the immune response that happens after," said Bazarian, who added that if other studies confirm these findings, it might be possible to develop a vaccine against these antibodies.
But, he said, a lot of research remains to be done. "This is a very first step. We need to know if there are other proteins released into the blood. And, is there a genetic susceptibility that causes an exaggerated response in some people? This is all work that needs to be done," he said.

Looking back, he says, he now knows why the offer was made.
"(During the drive to the hospital), I wasn't thinking about anything or anyone," he said. "I must have run every red-light between my house and the hospital."
As he told the story, the frustration of the moments could be seen on his face. Once arriving at the hospital, he couldn't find a parking space, and then left his truck running before realizing he didn't have his keys.
The waiting game
Once inside the hospital doors, Matthew checked in to the emergency room and was told to wait until the receptionist could find out what was going on with Tracy. Soon after, a doctor came looking for him and once they realized it was Tracy's husband, they rushed him back to the ER where he saw Tracy from a distance, surrounded by doctors and nurses. It was then that the severity of the situation sank in for Matthew. Next, they put him a waiting room where he waiting alone and filled out paperwork.
His mother, a nurse at Crouse, arrived shortly after. Around this time, the doctors came and talked to Matthew not about Tracy's condition, but about the fact that his unborn daughter was in distress and needed to come out. He had to fill out a release for the doctors to perform the surgery.
"I told them no," he said. "It wasn't her due date yet, not even close."
After speaking with his mother, he signed the form and Tracy went into surgery.
Matthew remembers reading National Geographic magazine.
"It was an article about sea turtles," he said. "That's what I remember about that, I was reading about sea turtles."
He saw the incubator and oxygen go by and soon after the doctor came out looking for the father.

One of the myths about the vegan lifestyle is that it's too expensive for the average or low-income family. Perhaps this is because many people relate the term 'vegan' or a plant-based diet to pre-packed vegan spreads, meat alternatives, vegan dairy substitutes and the cost of some fruits and veggies*.
While it is important to note that veganism is not a diet, but rather a life philosophy, we all have to eat and a plant-based diet is an essential part of living as a vegan. With that said, there is no single 'plant-based diet' and there are plenty of ways to eat vegan on a tight budget including or excluding prepackaged food items. Whether you want to go 100% whole foods, or you enjoy a bit of Daiya cheese here and there, these eight tips can help you navigate the vegan lifestyle and stay on budget.
*Wonder why some nuts, seeds, fruits and vegetables seem so expensive? "National dietary guidelines advise consumers to cut meat and dairy consumption and increase their intake of fruit and vegetables. But more than 60 percent of agricultural subsidies have directly or indirectly supported meat and dairy production, while less than one percent benefit fruit and vegetable producers." – The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine
1. Buy in bulk:
It's amazing how much you can save if you buy in bulk, either by receiving "case/quality discounts" on large orders of packaged items or by purchasing what you need from the bulk bins in your grocery store. The bulk bin section is one of the first sections I head to in any health food store or well-stocked grocery store. You can find anything from pasta to chickpeas, often for a fraction of the packaged cost. And it's wonderful to be able to buy small quantities of specialty items from the bulk bins as well (such as a couple of cups of buckwheat flour for great pancakes!)
Dishes you could make mostly from the bulk section include:
- Hummus
- Pasta
- Dahl soup
- Pancakes
- Polenta
- Black Bean burritos
Extra tip: If you don't want to soak beans/chickpeas and then cook them, try precooked canned beans/chickpeas for convenience.
Buying in bulk isn't just for food. You can often find bulk bodycare items at your local health food store as well. Save your favorite shampoo bottle and simply refill from the bulk section when you're ready.
2. Shop in season:
Eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables is essential to any whole foods plant based diet, but finding cheap fruit and veggies can be a challenge. There are a number of ways to cut down on cost though by shopping smart!
- Shop for fruits and vegetables that are in season in your area; they will be cheaper and tastier than veggies that are out of season.
- Shop at your local farmers' market. Every farmers' market is different, but often buying directly from the grower is cheaper and you might be able to get 'seconds' (fruit and veg that has slight blemishes on it) at a discount.
- Try a CSA! Community Supported Agriculture programs are becoming more and more common. Instead of going to the market and picking out a box of veggies, the farmers do it for you, providing large or small boxes of in-season fruit and veggies each week. At first glace many of the CSA boxes might sound pricey, but that is usually because you pay for the whole season at once. This arrangement helps the farmers by guaranteeing them income and giving them money to plant seeds/starts before the season has begun (remember subsidies are rare for fruit and veggie farmers). They then pass these benefits back to you in the form of great prices on beautiful produce.
- Sometimes frozen fruit and veggies can be much cheaper then fresh. Naturally eating as much fresh as possible is great, but if you can't always afford fresh then go for frozen!
3. Stick to the Staples:
Staple items like red lentils and whole grains are cheap and can be added to any meal for extra protein. Look for staple items you can build healthy and delicious meals around, such as: Lentils, beans, potatoes, brown rice, rolled oats, whole wheat couscous, wholegrain bread, yellow/green split peas, chickpeas and so on. Keep your cupboards well stocked with staple foods (which can often be bought in the bulk bin section!) and then add veggies, fruits, nuts, seeds and extras to supplement your staples.
4. Plan out your meals:
Especially when you first transition to a vegan lifestyle and plant-based diet, coming up with new meal ideas can seem like a task. In the long run I've found it's easy to whip up delicious vegan fare, but as your tastes change, planning out meals can go a long way to cut down on meal stress and keep your grocery budget in check.
Once you get used to vegan cooking you may not need to plan out your meals as long as you keep staples around the house. There are plenty of vegan blogs and cookbooks that can help you find meal ideas and make your grocery list.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant dealt with a sore back during practice this week and there was a thought he might need a pain injection to play in Sunday's game against the St. Louis Rams. Well according to ESPN Fort Worth/Dallas, Bryant doesn't need a shot in his back and should be fine for the game.
Bryant has dealt with back issues in the past, especially when He took a hit to his back in the 2012 regular-season finale and needed a wheelchair to leave the stadium because he was in so much pain. Bryant said the back issues he suffered in the Week 2 loss at Kansas City are different.
"No concern," Bryant said. "I got hit in my back. That's what happened. If you take a blow to the back the way I took a blow to the back, you're probably going to feel the same way I feel."
Bryant tore it up last week and I expect him to do it again this week.Do you follow the NFL Draft? If so follow NFL Draft Diamonds on Twitter and Facebook for up to date NFL Draft News, NFL Draft Projections, and NFL Draft Rankings. Jesus is the only way to Salvation

Ownership of a Samish canoe, believed to date from pre-contact, has been formally transferred to the Samish Indian Nation from the San Juan Island Historical Society & Museum.
Samish has cared for the canoe since 2011, when the historical society began construction of a new exhibit space. As the exhibit space neared completion, Samish requested that the canoe, which is in fragile condition, be repatriated in exchange for new cultural items that the museum can more easily care for and use to teaching the history of the island's indigenous peoples.
The museum board approved the proposal and the transfer took place June 28. Among those present were people from Nooksack, Saanich, Swinomish, as well as Samish.

House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) slipped up and said something uncharacteristically conservative in an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday: He said that the American regulatory and legislative environment is bloated and that Congress should be in the business of repealing laws — not making them.
That's the kind of Tea Party talk Americans have come to expect from a tiny minority of conservative Senators like Rand Paul and Ted Cruz or from Representative Justin Amash, but to hear the small sermon on small government from the mouth of the Weeping RINO is confusing. After excoriating Obamacare and hemming and hawing about his true stance on immigration legislation, Boehner offered this:
…[T]he American people are looking up at a government that's out of control. It's too big to govern. And so the mission I came here with as a small businessman 23 years ago is still my mission — to fight for a smaller, less-costly, a more accountable federal government, to empower the private sector to be all that it can be, to create jobs for our kids and grandkids. That's what drives me every day. And I know people from the outside look in and go, "how can he put up with all this nonsense?" But I don't look at it that way. I stay focused on the mission I came here with, and it's still the mission I have.
…[W]e should not be judged on how many new laws we create. We ought to be judged on how many laws that we repeal. We've got more laws than the administration could ever enforce. And so we don't do commemorative bills on the floor. We don't do all that nonsense. We deal with what the American people want us to deal with. Unpopular? Yes. Why? We're in a divided government. We're fighting for what we believe in. Sometimes, you know, the American people don't like this mess.
In throwing true conservatives a bone, is Boehner motivated by some internal party pressure? Is the vocal minority of conservatism in Congress — and among back-home constituents — becoming more vocal and less of a minority?
Lest people worry that Boehner is experiencing a sea change in his philosophy of government, a look at his discussion of immigration reform should set their minds at ease. CBS host Bob Schieffer tried everything but waterboarding to coax out of Boehner a definitive explanation of his views, but the best he could manage was this response:
If I come out and say I'm for this and I'm for that, all I'm doing is making my job harder. My job is to — as the leader of the House — is to facilitate this conversation, this process, that involves members on both sides of the aisle, involves the American people, and when they can see us moving in a deliberative, step-by-step, commonsense way.
…Yes, I've got certain things that I'd like to see accomplished. But this is not going to be about me. I said it the opening day. And it's never going to be about me. It's what's in the best interest of the country. If we're listening to the American people and we're following their will, our House will work just fine."
So… are you for amnesty or not? Didn't quite catch that.
Perhaps the biggest reassurance that the Speaker hasn't truly bought in to the whole "get government out of the way" ethic came in Boehner's breezy conflation of government entitlement with government deregulation:
Republicans have a plan for job creation. We've been at this now for the last two and a half years. And whether it's making student loans more affordable, stopping unnecessary regulations, trying to get our budget deficit under control — all of these things would help get our economy moving again.
So cheap government-subsidized loans and disentangling government treats from people and institutions somehow go hand in hand?
For now, it looks as though Boehner's transitory moment of clarity was just that: a moment.

Reflective metering. The "zones" you see, and place, are the result of both how much light they receive and how much of it they reflect. If you use incident metering two elements of the picture that receive the same light but that you place on two different zones (a black cow and a white cow) will appear to "fall" on the same zone. Reflective metering keeps into account the different placing of the different cows on the film's curve.
With an incident meter under even illumination you only meter one value and have no idea of the degree of "inner contrast" of the scene.

What's New
Improved app guide
App Description
To view a demo video of one of our apps paste the link into your browser http://t.co/W8spO12rap
*****Must have an iPhone4 or greater*********
CameraCalc is the world's first camera calculator. CameraCalc is an app that makes math a lot easier. It allows the user to take a picture in bright light of a list of numbers printed on paper and receive the sum of squares of deviations of that list of numbers. With CameraCalc, math is as simple as taking a picture.
1) Press 'Calculate' this allows you to take a picture. You should take a clear picture in a well lit place of a list of typed numbers.
2) Focus on the list of numbers that you would like to take a picture of. If you see that the iPhone casts a shadow over the list of numbers, hold the list of numbers at an angle of 45 degrees or more in order to eliminate the shadow, as shadowing can cause a false reading. Once there is no longer a shadow over the list of numbers, press the camera icon.
3) Please make sure to zoom in on the list of numbers once the picture is taken, you can do this by using the pinch gesture, place two fingers on the screen and slowly move them apart. Make sure none of the numbers are in the gray areas.
4) Next select 'use', the app now prints the numbers you took a picture of at the top of the screen below 'Calculate'.
5) Confirm that all of the numbers from your list are on the screen, placing a finger in the area and scrolling up and down to confirm all of the numbers you took a picture of are there. If the numbers are correct then the calculations are correct and you are done. If the numbers read by the app are not the same as the numbers from your list, go to step 6. Otherwise sit back and watch CameraCalc do all the work.
6) Tap the screen where your numbers are listed. Delete the incorrect numbers or characters. Enter in the correct numbers, you may have to scroll to view all of your numbers. Press the 'Done' button and the correct answer will be calculated. If you are still having trouble, repeat these instructions beginning at step 1. Otherwise sit back and watch CameraCalc do all the work.
So what are you waiting for? Download CameraCalc today!
Never struggle with Sum of Squares of Deviations again. Calculating Sum of Squares of Deviations is now as simple as taking a picture. Math is as simple as taking a photo.

Will The Next Generation Smart Device Come From Disney?
When one thinks of cool smart technology, it is usually associated with companies like Apple Inc. or Microsoft. However, the latest revolution seems to be emanating from a rather unusual company - Entertainment giant Disney. Touché, a new technology unveiled recently by the company's Pittsburgh based research laboratory, is powerful enough to turn any object and even the human body, into a touch screen. Intrigued? Read on . . .
Think of Touché as a more advanced way to navigate around your smart device. For example, the current touch screen just responds to it being touched be it with one, two or five fingers. Touché on the other hand, recognizes different types of touches - a light flick of the finger can indicate one command, while a full grasp of the hand, can mean something different.
What's even more amazing is that the technology can be taken outside the smart device world and used in everyday objects like a doorknob - Pinch it and it displays a message that you will be back in five minutes, grasp it firmly and it lets people know you are gone for the day and even, locks the door behind you.
Not impressed? How about this? Touché will allow you to program the sofa in your living room such that it will turn on the television and dim the lights as soon as you settle down. And, if you happen to fall asleep, it will even switch both off. The only thing it can't do (yet), is tuck you in!
While it may seem as though Disney waved its magical wand to make Touché, the technology built by Munehiko Sato, Ivan Poupyrev and Chris Harrison is based on brilliant research and engineering.
The scientists began with the capacitive sensors currently used in smart devices to detect electrical impulses from a finger touch and translate into action. They then modified them so that instead of one, the sensors are able to scan multiple electrical frequencies - each related to the nuances of a touch. For example, a light flick of a finger sends out a very different electrical impulse from a full hand grasping - Since Disney's Touché has the capability of recognizing the difference, it can be programmed to respond to each one. Then they went one step further and made it integratable with every possible object using just a single electrical wire connected to a controller that has a wired or wireless connection.
So what will Disney do with the technology? Nobody knows, since the company officials have not yet made up their minds. We sure hope they decide soon and sprinkle this magical technology into our everyday lives!

Authorities have arrested a suspected mob soldier in New Jersey after 65 pounds of pot was found in his vehicle.
According to NJ.com, state police have said that troopers made the discovery when they stopped a truck driven by Carlo Taccetta, a suspected soldier in the Lucchese crime family.
Sgt. Brian Polite said in a statement released Sunday that the 41-year-old's Dodge Ram pickup truck was stopped around 1:30 a.m. Saturday as the result of "an ongoing investigation."
Taccetta willingly allowed officers to search his truck, in which they discovered the marijuana.
The Lucchese crime family is one of the families that dominates organized crime activities in New York City.
The Montville Patch has reported that Taccetta's father, Michael "Mad Dog," is a capo for the family and currently incarcerated on charges of racketeering, extortion and conspiracy.
Taccetta is charged with possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Police say his bail is set for $75,000 and there is no 10 percent option.

Elite angler Nate Wellman surprises even himself with 22-4 bag after Day One of Northern Open on Lake Erie.
Heading to the big waters of Lake Erie, Mike McClelland geared up his Stratos boat with some apparatus to help him stay safe.
My first catch in practice was in the exact same spot where I caught my first Lake Erie smallmouth as a kid.
Elite Series pro John Murray calls himself a "desert rat," and that's precisely why he's competing this week in the Northern Open on Lake Erie.
On Sunday, Mike McCoy was practicing on Lake Erie for his first Bassmaster tournament as a pro when disaster struck at home.
Things change. I'm not going to fish the Open on Lake Erie. I'm going to the Bristol Motor Speedway to work with one of my sponsors, Toyota.
The first thing on my Lake Erie to-do list is: put three drift socks in the Phoenix 721.
This week we'll talk about practice time and some of the factors we should consider when we're planning for a tournament.
If I told you that you were going to catch fish until you could not reel in another, what would stop you from joining me?
The Bass Pro Shops Northern Open on Lake Erie should be something that excites anglers and fans alike.

BOSTON, MAA research team at Brigham and Women's Hospital has developed a novel device that may one day have broad therapeutic and diagnostic uses in the detection and capture of rare cell types, such as cancer cells, fetal cells, viruses and bacteria. The device is inspired by the long, elegant appendages of sea creatures, such as jellyfish and sea cucumbers.
The study will be published online on November 12, 2012 in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
The device, a microchip, is inspired by a jellyfish's long, sticky tentacles that are used to capture miniscule food flowing in the water. The researchers designed a chip that uses a three-dimensional DNA network made up of long DNA strands with repetitive sequences thatlike the jellyfish tentaclescan detect, bind and capture certain molecules.
The researchers, led by Jeffrey Karp, PhD, BWH Division of Biomedical Engineering, Department of Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, senior study author, and Rohit Karnik, PhD, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, co-author, created the chip using a microfluidic surface and methods that allowed them to rapidly replicate long DNA strands with multiple targeting sites that can bind to cancer cells, but also custom tailor critical characteristics, such as DNA length and sequence which would allow them to target various cell types.
In this study, Karp and his team tested the chip using a DNA sequence that had a specific affinity to a cell-surface protein found abundantly in human cancer cells.
The researchers engineered the device to efficiently capture a higher quantity of cancer cells from whole blood patient samples at much higher flow rates compared to other methods that use shorter DNA strands or antibodies.
"The chip we have developed is highly sensitive. From just a tiny amount of blood, the chip can detect and capture the small population of cancer cells responsible for cancer re

On day 1 of race 13 of the Clipper Round The World Yacht Race 2103-14, the Grange Hotels Trophy got off to a flying start yesterday as the 12-strong matched fleet left behind the warm, laid back hospitality of Jamaica ahead of the 1,420 mile race to the city that never sleeps, New York.
Race 13, day 1 - Clipper Round The World Yacht Race 2013-14
With less than 20 miles currently separating the tightly-packed fleet as it head towards the Windward Passage between Cuba and Haiti, Derry~Londonderry~Doire is currently neck and neck with overall leader of the race Henri Lloyd as OneDLL and Mission Performance and the rest of the fleet continue the chase.
Skipper of Henri Lloyd, Eric Holden, reflects on his teams start for Race 13 in his skipper report today. 'We got around the turning mark in the top group so are pleased we got away clean and can focus on beating upwind towards the Windward Passage between Cuba and Haiti. Earlier on the breeze allowed us to sail the direct route but that was too good to last and now the wind has shifted right where we want to go.'
After a spectacular stopover in Jamaica which saw Switzerland collect its second podium, the Swiss team is hoping that Race 13 will be third time lucky as they head for New York. Skipper Vicky Ellis, discusses her team's start in her skipper report today:
'Race 13 start got us off with a bang and we have been enjoying some close racing with the other teams since the gun went. A wind shift overnight saw the fleet divided in to two groups but it is still very close between all the boats. Great Britain is on our tail and has been now for several hours.'
Meanwhile, skipper of Jamaica Get All Right, Pete Stirling, was disappointed with his team's start yesterday, but as a veteran Clipper Race skipper is well aware New York is still a long way off.
'I decided to head further east than the rest of the fleet and left the Formigas Bank to port whilst the other teams left it to starboard. Whilst we were the most southerly boat we were also the most easterly boat which I thought would put us in a good position to lay through the Windward Passage between Cuba and Haiti.
'However we got headed early by the wind and now find ourselves approximately ten miles due south of the rest of the fleet. I am quite annoyed at myself for following these tactics but it is still early days and we have a long way to go to New York.'

Cosmos - "The Clean Room" Clarification Question about Age of the Earth.
My wife and I just watched the seventh episode of Cosmos called "The Clean Room" which tells us (among other things) about how Clair Patterson determined the age of the Earth.

After it came down fast, it drained to the lowest area and pooled up. It became obvious that the pad site had some low areas after everyone has been working on it so much lately. The barn builders, RBI Construction, are still doing everything they can, but rain always slows construction a little bit. Hopefully a few more days of sunshine and it'll all be dried out again.

In any living organism, all cells have the same DNA, but each cell's identity is defined by the combination of genes that are turned on or off, any given moment in time. In animals, this cellular memory is erased between generations, so that the new egg has no memory and, as such, has the potential to become any type of cell. In flowering plants, on the contrary, cellular memory passes from generation to generation, with potentially harmful implications for the development of new plants. In the latest issue of the journal Cell*, scientists from Instituto Gulbenkian de Cincia (IGC), in Portugal, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL), in the USA, describe a novel mechanism whereby potentially mutagenic sequences of mobile DNA are silenced in the pollen grain and in seeds, thus avoiding damage to new plants.
One of the main mechanisms that contributes to cellular memory is the addition of a chemical group - the methyl group - to DNA sequences (a process called methylation). DNA methylation turns a gene off. These changes in gene expression that are heritable, but not directly written in the DNA sequence, are called epigenetics. Using the plant model Arabidopsis thaliana, Jrg Becker, Jos Feij and their team, at the IGC, and Robert Martienssen and colleagues, at CSHL, analysed the genome of pollen grains and their precursor cells, the microspores, and pinpointed the sequences of DNA that were methylated. Pollen grains contain two sperm cells (the sexual cells) and an accompanying vegetative nucleus, whose DNA is not passed on to the next generation. Thanks to the technique developed by the IGC team, the researchers were able to separate the two sperm cells and the vegetative nucleus of the pollen grain and look at their methylation status separately.

Jan 6-'Special juice,' 'pageant crack'? 'Toddlers & Tiaras' moms take competition to whole new level
|4 years ago

The secret behind what it takes to create the ideal child pageant contestant has been revealed in a sneak peek of the upcoming season of TLCs Toddlers & Tiaras.
Six-year-old pageant hopeful Alana and her mother, June, are the main subjects in the shocking six-minute clip released online Thursday. June, a self-described Coupon Queen from McIntyre, Georgia, has no qualms about feeding her daughter special juice to give her daughter on edge on stage.
A lot of pageant moms and people know what the special juice is. Everybody has their different concoction. Special juice is to help energize her, June says in the clip.
A lot of moms say, Oh, youre doping up your child. No Im not. Im not hurting her,' she added.
The clip shows young Alana chugging back the mystery drink backstage while a number of glammed-up girls toss back powdery candy.
We had tried Pixy Stix, as theyre called pageant crack. We went through 15 bags at one pageant, and it just dont do anything for her, June says. She just drinks it for pageants, to give her that extra oomph. So, whatever works for your child, use it.'
June seems to be confident in her secret concoction. In the episode, her daughter is award third place in the competition.
They want their child to stand out, so you've got those moms that are going to do whatever is necessary to put their child in that light, one commenter explains in an interview.
While it remains unknown what exactly is in special juice, many speculate its a caffeinated soda or sugary fruit juice. Still, the behavior of an out-of-control Alana has raised a few eyebrows.
Go-go juice make me laugh-ey and play-ey and it make me want to pull my mommys hair, slurs Alana, before launching into a hyperactive fit.
I want to win because I want to make money, says the tot. A dollar make me holler, honey boo boo!
This isnt the first time Toddlers & Tiaras has sparked outrage from concerned viewers.
Last season, the mother of a pint-sized pageant queen caused controversy when she sent her 4-year-old on stage sporting fake brea$ts and a padded rear-end something she said was "just normal" to resemble Dolly Parton.
The Parent Television Council was outraged the following week when TLC decided to air an episode in which a 4-year-old dressed as Julia Roberts character a prostitute from Pretty Woman.
Over the course of the show, stage moms have come under fire for subjecting their little girls to fake tanning, false teeth, hair extensions, eyebrow plucking, and enough makeup to make the late Tammi Faye Messner cringe.
Toddlers & Tiaras airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on TLC.
