Spicy Carrot Soup
I think I am obsessed with the new Asian Market that opened last spring in my neighborhood. I swear every time I go there I discover a new food, a fruit, a vegetable or an appliance. (just found a Tortilla press but thats another post 🙂 ) This week I found some super large Carrots and I am thinking about Spicy Carrot Soup. I am tired of the regular stores that only offer conservative groceries that appeal to the average consumer. I don't consider myself average when it comes to food or shopping. Being vegetarian for the past 10 years and eating gluten free has changed the way I look at food and what I feed my family.
When I enter the grocery store I walk first to the produce section. I scan veggies and fruit picking up salad fixings, cauliflower, asparagus, peppers (lots of peppers), mushrooms, potatoes, onions and avocados. Not so much fruit but we always have bananas, oranges and apples in the house. Then it's off to the organic/health section. Which is usually quite small. Here I look for flours that are gluten free and organic. I pick up some coconut milk beverage, organic tofu and organic coconut kefir as well as some organic Brasil nuts. (Brasil nuts are really good source for Selenium). Then I look for eggs, canned beans, tomatoes and cheese. Everything after that are extras.
For the Spicy Carrot Soup I don't have a lot of ingredients to buy. Just Carrots, Vegetable broth (always organic broth) fresh dill, ginger and my all time favorite spice, Fennel.
I pour the vegetable both and water into a pot and bring it to a boil. Then I add the chopped carrots, onion, ginger and fennel. Letting that simmer until the carrots are soft. About an hour. Once everything is nice and soft I take it off the heat and allow it to cool for a half hour and then pour everything into the food processor and pulse a few times until smooth and nicely blended. At this point I put it back into the pot, add a tablespoon of lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
On top I have added some fresh chopped dill, low carb cheese crisp (which is great with everything) and a maple mushroom bacon slices. The Maple Mushroom bacon is made similar to the Veggie Bacon but uses sliced mushrooms instead of tofu.
To make the Mushroom Bacon, slice 2 cup of Shitaki mushrooms approximately 1/8″ thick. In a glass dish combine all the ingredients and mix well. Add the mushrooms, making sure they are all coated well. I add a little water if it is too thick and doesn't cover. Let this sit for about an hour to let the mushrooms marinade. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and bake for 20 minutes. After this keep a close eye on them until they have crisped up a bit being careful not to let them burn. Approximately 10 more minutes. Take out and let cool.
- 5 lbs Carrots Chopped
- 2 tbsp minced Ginger
- 2 Tbsp Fennel Seeds
- 1/2 Red Onion Chopped
- 4 C Vegetable Broth
- 4 C water
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 2 Cups Sliced Shitaki Mushrooms
- 1/2 C Maple Syrup
- 1 Tsp Ground Fenugreek
- 1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
- 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Tsp Sea Salt
- 1 Tbsp Liquid Hickory Smoke
- Add vegetable broth and water to large pot and bring to boil. Add carrots, ginger, fennel and onions and allow to simmer until carrots are very soft.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool. Puree the soup in food processor until smooth. Return to heat add lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
- Add maple syrup, fenugreek, sesame oil, olive oil, salt and smoke to a glass dish and mix well. Add sliced mushrooms and coat well. Allow to marinade for 1 hour.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place mushrooms in a single layer on shallow baking pan and cook for 25 minutes. Mushrooms are done when they are a bit crispy (not burned) and dry.

The NBL sees getting a Canterbury basketball team in the league next year as a top priority.
The Christchurch Cougars competed in the 2009 and 2010 NBLs, but after the February earthquake withdrew before this year's competition started.
NBL chairman Sam Rossiter-Stead said the league was working hard towards getting a Canterbury team back on court next year.
"We want to be a truly nationally representative league," he said.
"Having one major city not represented is unacceptable, and it (getting a Canterbury team) is a very high priority for us."
He said the league was in communication with Andrew and Amy Gardiner and a lot of people involved in basketball in Christchurch. The Gardiners set up the Cougars when the Canterbury Rams withdrew after the 2008 campaign.
Christchurch was in a unique situation and the Gardiners' home and business were badly affected by the earthquake, Rossiter-Stead said.
Basketball had not been able to use its traditional home Cowles Stadium since the June earthquake, but he said there were other stadia that could be used.
The Breakers' success in winning the Australian NBL helped create a boom season for the NZ NBL this year.
Eight of the nine teams reported an increase in their average attendances.
"It's tremendous," said Rossiter-Stead.
Andrew Gardiner has not been available for comment.
A Canterbury Basketball administrator said the Gardiners had a licence for the NBL and it was "completely in their court to do anything with it".
An entry next year would be a decision for the Gardiners.
"Just to have elite level basketball in the city is and would be fantastic, but we are not part of the dialogue."
In the past Canterbury were one of the NBL's most successful teams. The Rams played in seven grand finals between 1986 and 1994 and won four. They played in an eighth final in 1999.

With over ONE BILLION dollars in approved bad credit auto loan applications, this company is the best option for people making over $1500.00 per month and buying a car with bad credit. Make no mistake about it, this is the most reputable lending source for affordable bad credit auto financing, in North America.
You can expect quick results, exceptional customer service and low monthly payments.
If you would like to, Click here to see what you qualify for.
The Top 10 Reasons for This Recommendation…
1. Legitimate Company – In business since 1999, special finance programs that ACE has developed have resulted in the successful approval of over 4 and half-million dollars worth of bad credit auto loan applications every single month. In fact, over 1,000,000,000 dollars (yes, that's billion) total have been approved through this company, and that's because they are the industry leader.
2. Flexibility – Programs are not limited to used cars as loans for new and late model vehicles are approved, as well. A typical vehicle that fits within their guidelines is a two to a four-year-old vehicle with average mileage for the model year. There are benefits of working with a company that helps to get people into newer cars. Getting approved for a new or late model car has its benefits of lower payments, less break-downs and more warranties. That appeals to not only you, but to the good lenders who will be providing your loan approval.
3. Bankruptcy OK – Chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcy is common in today's economy. As long as your bankruptcy is discharged, then you should be set to go. Rather than having to wait for your credit to be re-established, there are ways to get a good car loan as a first step to re-establishing your credit. Everyday, they are the first step for hundreds of people seeking to get an auto loan after a Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy discharge.
4. Repossession OK – There are a few requirements on this one. Your repossession needs to have either been a part of a discharged bankruptcy, or be at least 12 months old. So if you've just had a repossession in the last 12 months, and it wasn't included in a bankruptcy, they simply will not be able to help you. You'll need to work on re-establishing your credit history first, or let 12 months pass by before applying for special financing.
5. No Money Down OK – No money down programs with monthly payments based on income. It's a myth that you always have to have a down payment when applying for an auto loan with bad credit. These guys know how to get it done by the right choice of lender, auto and credit score. By applying special dealer incentives, rebates and promotional offers, negative trade equity may be dissolved.
6. Great Rates – They'll find the best interest rate and payment terms that you qualify for under their programs. Don't misunderstand this. You will pay a higher rate than someone that has good credit. However, you shouldn't settle for anything outrageous though. Find out by seeing what you qualify for. Did you know that some buy here pay here car lots charge higher interest rates than some credit card companies? Regardless of where you choose to secure your financing, do yourself a favor and avoid predatory lending practices, such as, is commonly found with lower end buy here pay here dealers.
7. Safe and Secure Application – ACE provides a 100% secure application using 128 Bit Encryption on a secure server. There is absolutely no risk of your private financial or personal information being compromised. Data security is actively monitored 24 hours a day, seven days a week by the most advanced encryption technology available on the web.
8. Same Day Approvals – One of the biggest hassles of buying a car with bad credit is the waiting. Having to sit in a car dealership for hours while the finance manager "sees what he can do for you" is a real pain. By handling your application and/or pre-qualification online, you get a quick response at home, without having to wait for hours at a car dealership.
9. Superb Customer Service – You will get the respect you deserve, regardless of your past credit history. Too often, people are treated unfairly or looked down upon when they have bad credit and are applying for an auto loan. When you apply, you're not just sending your information into a dark hole. There are real people standing by to help you. They have one goal, and that is to get you into a good car loan, regardless of your past credit, through the best lending partners available through their service. They will provide you with the information that you need to make a wise decision and there is no pressure, no hassles and no fuss. I've been nice so far, haven't I? Remember, just because you have credit problems does not mean that you aren't a customer! YOU have the final say so about what you do or don't buy, and it's up to YOU to say I will accept this offer or no, I will not. That's the way it should be.

Why is "Buy Here, Pay Here" Financing Not Recommended?
A recent CNN editorial referred to the Buy Here, Pay Here industry as, "bottom feeding for used car buyers in a recession." That is strong language. The buy here pay here industry as a whole, sells used cars with an average odometer reading of 90,000 to 110,000 miles with absolutely no warranty. Buy Here Pay Here interest rates are usually very high with an average rate of more than 20%. Car sale prices are hardly negotiable and down payments are always required. To top it off, buy here, pay here car lots rarely report your payment history to the credit bureaus, resulting in no benefit to your credit score as you make your timely payments.
Having worked around sub prime auto financing since 1996, I can tell you that you will hardly find anyone that would choose to use buy here pay here financing over a real bad credit car loan. It's easier to get approved than many people think for a good car loan with bad credit through companies the specialize in sub prime auto loans. It's mainly a matter of knowing where to apply and focusing on top companies that provide car-buying services and loan arrangements, as listed above. This website is not here to "bash" the in-house financing industry. It is simply our opinion, that there are better options for most consumers. If and when any buy here, pay here dealerships that are fair to deal with are noted, they will be recommended in the future.
What About My Trade In?
Have you ever noticed that every car dealer offers to give you a different amount for your trade? They call this a "trade allowance" and is usually not based on the actual value of your vehicle, but is more of a number's game. With legitimate dealer incentives, rebates and promotions, you will probably find that even if you do owe more on your trade-in than it's worth, there are creative ways of absorbing negative equity into your new loan.
Before you make any buying decision, you'll know exactly what you're being paid for your trade, how much is being sent to pay off your present loan and what the difference is, whether it's positive or negative. If your vehicle is currently paid off, that's great and will help to reduce the amount of your new loan. If it's financed through a buy here, pay here dealership it will be handled the same way as if it were financed through a traditional lender. You have the final say in accepting or rejecting any offer or quote.
About This Site: Buying a Car With Bad Credit refers to obtaining an auto loan by a consumer with a low credit score. This is also known as a fair, poor, marginal, slow or less than perfect credit rating or credit history. (Check your credit score here.) Regardless of the terminology used to describe it, if you have bad credit and have had a hard time getting approved for an auto loan that is affordable, sub-prime or otherwise known as, secondary lenders, or service providers that are legitimately in business, as listed above, are your best options for getting approved for buying a car with bad credit.
In today's online world, finding a legitimate company that truly helps people with buying a car with bad credit is tough, and I hope the information on this page has helped to point you in the right direction. See the link above to find out what you qualify for based on your income.

i'm wondering about the gestalt object. it can returns the system or quicktime versions. but what does the "mnam" message ?
A quick Google on 'gestalt mnam' will turn up the Mac OS Gestalt Manager Reference, which is what the gestalt object is based around (it just calls Gestalt on Mac OS, on Windows it does an emulation of a couple of common selectors).
mnam is gestaltUserVisibleMachineName: "Returns a StringPtr to a user visible machine name."

Gunman's note blames radio waves
WASHINGTON The man who killed 12 people at the Washington Navy Yard last week left behind electronic documents saying that the government had been attacking his brain for the past three months using "extremely low frequency" electromagnetic waves created by the Navy, and that was the reason he needed to lash out, senior law enforcement officials said Wednesday.
The documents provide the most detailed explanation to date for what investigators believe motivated the rampage by Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old military contractor and former Navy reservist who was killed in a shootout with the police at the Navy Yard.
"Ultra low frequency attack is what I've been subject to for the last three months," Alexis wrote in one document found by investigators, Valerie Parlave, the assistant director in charge of the FBI's Washington Field Office, said at a news conference Wednesday.
"And to be perfectly honest, that is what has driven me to this," Alexis wrote.
Alexis also said "he was prepared to die in the attack and accepted death as the inevitable consequence of his actions," Parlave said.
It is not clear whether he sent the documents to anyone.
Alexis's employer, a computer services company called The Experts, spoke to him Sept. 13, three days before the shootings, about a "routine performance issue," Parlave said. But law enforcement officials said they did not believe that discussion was a motivating factor for the shootings.
The officials also said they had found no evidence Alexis targeted co-workers and that the shootings appeared to be random.
Alexis had a history of angry outbursts over the past decade, and he had been arrested three times in three states, although he was never prosecuted in any of those incidents.
The Navy has used low frequency electromagnetic waves, or ELF, for submarine communications. But some conspiracy theorists say the government has weaponized the frequencies to monitor and manipulate unsuspecting citizens, Parlave said. The phrases "my ELF weapon," "end to the torment," "not what ya'll say" and "better off this way," were etched into the side of the shotgun that Alexis used to kill many of the victims, she said.
The authorities also released surveillance videos Wednesday showing Alexis arriving alone in a car at the Navy Yard's parking garage, assembling his shotgun and walking down a hallway, ducking in and out of doorways, before opening fire. The video appears to be edited to exclude images of people being shot.
Documents released by the government Wednesday detail search warrants obtained as part of the investigation. In a backpack Alexis carried onto the naval base, he had a flash drive, an external hard drive and several compact discs. At his hotel, the authorities found a laptop in his room.
At the Pentagon on Wednesday, Ashton B. Carter, the deputy defense secretary, told reporters that the military had started three reviews of its security procedures in response to the shooting. The reviews will examine potential flaws in base security, background investigations and other areas that could have allowed the Navy Yard shooting to occur.

text: iOS vs. Android: Your Best ArgumentsAdam Dachis9/17/13 5:00pmFiled to: flame warsiOSAndroidsmartphonestablets2798EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkiOS and Android are both great mobile platforms. They also have quite a bit of room for improvement and different ideas of what matters to users. Naturally, many people feel one trumps the other. So is one actually better? Here are your best arguments.Note: This post summarizes what you said, not necessarily what we think on the subject (although you might find a comment or two from us summarized as well, as we often participate in the discussion). Also, in this specific case, the Lifehacker readership vastly prefers and uses Android. Keep that in mind as you read, and check out the original discussion if you want to see every argument including those from Lifehacker staff (Whitson Gordon and Eric Ravenscraft).Android Is More CustomizableAndroid lets you do so much more with your phone than iOS does. DancherBoi explains why this matters to him:AdvertisementAdvertisementI like change. I like new. I like things the way I like it. And because of these 3 things, Android fits the bill best. The customization that Android allows with 3rd party launchers is fantastic. I can make my phone look and behave like nothing I have ever seen before, and fit the way I like to interface with my phone. I despise the fact that Apple thinks that they know me best. They don't.I also like to tinker. I like to push the envelope with the things I can do with my phone. The open platform Android provides is a sandbox for developers to get extremely creative.But when and where does Android's customization cause problems? Reader jeffreyjames explains:Android is also messy to use and customize. Every time I try to customize it, I realize the only way to customize it is to be happy with launcher skins other people have made and be limited to only their apps on home screens, or really hunker down and spend the kind of time only teenagers from Japan seem to have to make something that suits my needs. Bundled apps that I can't delete are also annoying. At least the standard apple apps are from apple. My phone came with a Zappos (yes, the shoe store) app that I can't delete as well as a golf game, 3 separate amazon stores, and a TON of other crap I don't need and cannot delete.iOS Feels More FluidDespite slower processors on Apple hardware, iOS feels faster and more fluid to most users. Apple prioritizes the user interface over just about everything else so no matter how slow a device runs you rarely feel any lag. While taxing software and aging hardware won't always compete, reader Rory Brett feels Android can't even run fluidly on the latest and greatest:SponsoredWhenever I use an android phone, I get spikes of random lag, and an overall inconsistent experience. No matter which phone I use (I tend to buy and try then return if it doesn't meet my expectations), from the new S4 and HTC One to The new Galaxy Mega I always run into those same issues. It's not fun, because as a tech obsessed, new and greatest gadget loving man, it's a let down to try the best and new and have it feel like it was released last year. So far the HTC One was the closest to everyday usable to me. I love all the features that android has, and I do love how open it is and the customization, but I'm continually let down by the performance.For iOS it's almost the opposite. I am frustrated with the lack of customization, and over all lack of how open it is, but I have never in my life had a more reliable phone. It has been hands down the fastest, most consistent phone time and time again. These comments were mirrored by several other users, and we struggled to find someone arguing on behalf of Android's fluidity so I'll break form here and offer my personal experience. I own an original 8GB Nexus 7 tablet and a 16GB Nexus 4. I've never experienced any lag with either device that I wouldn't expect from a smartphone. I primarily use Apple devices but always considered my Nexii on par with fluidity. That said, this is a very common complaint, so it likely has a lot to do with your device, your version of Android, and what you run on it. It seems like you're pretty much guaranteed fluidity on a modern iOS device, but not so on Android (though it's very possible to get there, even if it takes a few tweaks).Android Offers an Open PlatformAndroid likes to tout its open platform over Apple's closed, walled garden. Reader Howard Blair notes this opens up tons of possibilities on the Google Play Store (versus the iTunes App Store):AdvertisementEmulators are allowed on Android, as is side-loading...you can get apps from Google Play, AppBrain, Amazon Appstore, or anywhere else you can get your hands on an .APK file...something that's hard to do (but not impossible) on iOS. On the other hand, the iTunes Appstore won't allow anything with downloadable code (emulators, Flash).You can change the app launcher (home screen), the default keyboard and Web browser on Android...things you can't do on iOS. If Apple includes it in iOS, chances are you're stuck with it...unless you jailbreak.While Android definitely provides more flexibility in terms of what apps you can get and what developers can accomplish on the platform, calling it a fully open platform rings a little false. You don't have complete control over your device without rooting and Google sometimes pulls content from their store. Still, even with these downsides, Android remains a considerably more open platform than iOS for both developers and users.Android Is FragmentedWhen you look at the iOS vs. Android on a high level, it looks like iOS gets a nice update every year and Android moves a little slower. It also looks like Android's updates never really roll out to must users or make it to them so late it almost doesn't matter. This creates a lot of fragmentation between devices and makes it hard for developers to support every Android user out there. Benjamin Sow, an Android user himself, voices this complaint:AdvertisementHowever, because it is an Open Source OS, Android runs on a battalion of different phone makes and models, and each tweaked with its own features and UI enhancements. It is this that I despise. A great example would be Samsung. This year, it proudly launched its flagship the Galaxy S4. It features cutting edge technology and software enhancements which sports an array of cool features like Eye scroll, Air gestures etc. These features might have bedazzled a heck load of people, but it has its downside too - a major one at that. Along with those features, you'll obviously get less space, and with the S4, by less I mean almost half. The 16GB model comes with just over half of its promised storage due to its massive size of the its Android Touchwiz OS. Due to the reduced size, it is inevitable that even with state of the art processing power, the software will bottleneck the whole system. In which is the case for many Android phones, they have tweaked Android to such an extent that it backfires on the very great OS they chose to use.He also notes you can easily solve this problem with a Google Nexus (or stock Android) device, as he did, because those get updates immediately and for as long as the latest version of Android will run well. iOS offers more frequent, yearly updates, but not all devices get all the features of the latest version. You generally get everything if you buy the new iPhone or iPad or stick with last year's model. If you keep your device for more than two years, Apple starts removing features that won't run on it. Furthermore, sometimes Apple locks down features on older devices anyway because it wants to use them to promote sales of the new hardware. This sounds bad, but few people keep their smartphones for more than a couple of years anyway because they get an inexpensive upgrade from their carrier.Google doesn't do this. They've also started taking features out of the OS and moving them over to Google Play Services so any device can download them in app form. This keeps new features coming to all users even if they have an older version of Android. The fragmentation argument gets detailed and complex. If you want to read more about the fragmentation issues on Android and why they just don't matter as much as they used to, check out this post.Android Has More (But Sometimes Low-Quality) HardwareApple compliments themselves on great design all the time, and they mostly earn it. Some Android devices, on the other hand, use cheaper materials and lower aesthetic standards. You get a lot of choice in which device you buy, but you sacrifice hardware quality in some cases. Joshua Talley explains:AdvertisementAdvertisementPerhaps more specifically the touch response, camera, display quality, and battery life. My Nexus 4 and 7 are every bit as smooth as my iOS devices, but compared to other Android hardware they are superior. Mainly TouchWiz devices. Also, I really wish the iPod camera was in my N4. Photospheres are way cool, however. The display on the iOS devices just looks better...if only they were a standard resolution, say 1280x720? My iPad will last for days - nearly a week - on idle. The N7 will go for a few days, but not like the iPad. Wow.That said, Apple's phones and tablets have very few models. They control the hardware design themselves. Google, on the other hand, just makes the operating system. They don't try to force specific standards upon Android device manufacturers. Nevertheless, Android hardware has improved. Newer devices run plenty fast, offer lots of battery life, and even look pretty good. This may not include the majority of devices, but that doesn't matter in the long run. If you can choose a well-designed Android device that competes with Apple's hardware efficiency, Android wins that battle regardless of how many crappy devices other manufacturers may create.iOS Is More "Intuitive"Many people argue that anything Apple makes provides a more intuitive and easily-learnable experience for just about anyone. Our own editorial fellow Andy Orin agrees:AdvertisementI recently got a seven inch Asus tablet that runs Android. It's really quite a useful little thing, but I've been surprised by how un-intuitive some aspects of the OS have been. Just the little details. And I know that Icould find solutions to every minor irk and annoyance, but the thing is, with my iPhone I never had to. I knew how to use it without even thinking about it. I don't want to have to search out solutions (and yes I'm working for Lifehacker). There's a reason babies love iPads and I side with the babies.But perhaps babies love iPads because more people happen to have iPads than Android tablets and they're not actually more intuitive. Blaine provides a counterargument:That's not a fair comparison because you learned on iOS and then switched platforms. Likewise, if you learned to use a computer running Windows and switched to a Mac, many things would be unintuitive to you, but the OS would be less to blame than the fact that you were being forced to alter your habits.You also must consider that we all learn differently and may find one platform more intuitive than the other for those reasons. Even so, those arguments only go so far. While we're not here to call one platform more user-friendly than another, one may be. iOS often gets this label, but that could have to do more with what it advertises and less with reality. No one really knows.AdvertisementAdvertisementPerhaps it's better put this way: Apple cares more about design standards. Though Google has made great strides in recent years, it's clear that Apple cares about it more than pretty much any other tech company around. While their design sometimes fall short of expectations, they repeatedly deliver a consistently pleasant experience. Edward Champion puts it best:The reason I love my iPhone over android is the UI. For me I love the way my iPhone works. Clean, quick, and its all consistent. The reason I don 't like android is because different icons on the UI look ugly, and the icons don't look like one team presided over all the icons, they look like one team per icon. On iOS every icon looks like they belong all on the same screen. Also in Android, the Icon gives a different feel that the menus. Where as in iOS, an icon feels like it belongs to that app, the icon and application give me the same feel.Whether or not you feel Android looks great out of the box, apps that provide customization allow you to circumvent most anything you find ugly. If you want to hear how people feel about customization on Android, just refer back to that section of this post. (We don't want to rehash the same stuff in an already long summary.)Android Is For Tinkerers, iOS Is NotMost people agree that you use Android if you enjoy messing around on your phone and you use iOS if you just want something that works. Let's hear from a few people on this subject, starting with mpcarolin:AdvertisementI've used both extensively and I'm all Android. I think the answer to the question, however, is simple:If you want to take the (sometimes extensive) time to tinker with your phone to create an experience that's molded to your preferences and ultimately more productive than iOS, Android's the OS for you.If you simply want your phone to work very well out of the box, an work smoothly, iOS is for you.That's my experience. My galaxy s4 and nexus 10 are power houses of efficiency and productivity that I don't see being replaced any time soon. My iPad doesn't come close to them in that regard, but neither is it bad, and it didn't require any work. It's also a much more refined and smooth os, on which android needs to improve.Reader ender42081 agrees with a food metaphor:I find that iOS is a bit like fast food. It is simple, convenient, and appeals to the masses without going out on any limbs. You want beef? here's your whopper. You want a keyboard? here you go. Simple, easy, pretty good, but very limited. Android is that local restaurant franchise which is a bit inconsistent (bad managers at some locations) but lets you do what you want. Want beef? well, we have quarter pounders at the buffet, but you may want to talk to doug at the grill who will do something amazing with bacon and blue cheese for you.Despite that, some feel iOS offers a better platform for tinkering because jailbreaking opens up so many different options. Of course, you have to want to jailbreak and forego later iOS updates. The same goes for Android if you want to root, but Android offers more without rooting and so you can update without the fear of losing any of your effort. So while you can make an argument to the contrary, most people stick with Android for tinkering and iOS for something that just works predictably.I Like This One Thing...Everyone has something about Android or iOS that they claim keeps them on the platforms. Sometimes it's a lot of little things. These tend to be pretty specific and the ones that actually do keep people around, rather than all the grand sweeping benefits described in previous arguments. Let's take a look at some examples.AdvertisementAdvertisementFor lurking_grue, it's Tasker:Tasker on android makes things so much better. I love how my phone now will just seamlessly change depending on where I am or what I am doing.Hop into a terminal and my keyboard swaps out.Get to work and my ringer goes to vibrate.Get in my car and it turns on the ringer and GPS and disconnects to wifi networks.With apple things are either easy or near impossible.For Joshua Talley it's about sharing (among other things):Both my wife and I have had that moment where a certain file needed to be attached to an email, or uploaded to a site, etc., and been on the verge of irate when it just couldn't be done on iOS. Android is an entirely different story. The ability to share any file through just about every app is so nice...if at times a bit overwhelming (I have about 25+ options that I have to scroll through).Tom hates iTunes (which, for the record, you do not have to use with an iDevice anymore) and the lack of a back button:AdvertisementI have never owned an iOS device before, but i have to admit they made a better job with the UI than Android. The smoothness of it all just amazes me. But there are two things keeping me from getting an iPad:The first is the horror of iTunes, which has to be the worst piece of software in history, at least on the PC, and the lack of a universal file system. I used to have an ipod, but i ultimately parted with it because it could only be synced using itunes. On android you just drag and drop, and open the file with any app that supports it.The second reason is the lack of a "back" button. This is probably because i never used an ios devecie for a longer period, but every time i play with someone's iphone/ipad i get stuck somewhere in apps, not knowing what to do next. Every app has a different way, some have a back button on the screen, some are gesture controlled, and some are just plain stupid. I once asked the owner of an iphone how to get back to the previous screen. He went back to the home screen and restarted the app. It's probably just his stupidity, but talk about intuitiveness.Our former editor-in-chief Adam Pash often complained about the inconsistency of the back button on Android, so clearly you can take the same issue and consider it a deal breaker on either OS.Why None of This MattersBecause most of us choose a mobile platform because 1) we're used to it and 2) we like something pretty specific, no argument really holds a lot of weight. In fact, most arguments boil down to a concise comment made by reader Ovy:AdvertisementAdvertisementX platform is better than Y platform because X is better at fulfilling my idiosyncratic needs, which I have stupidly generalized as being everyone's needs!Reader add explains why this debate doesn't really matter:This is like asking what's better? a santoku or a bowie knife? Italian leather or Air Jordan's, an SUV or a sedan?The fact is (which rabid fanboys really need to start to accept) is they both have a place in the market and they're both better and worse for different things.So pick what you like. You don't really need to justify your choice. You like your mobile platform, it helps you do what you want to do, and not much else really matters.

S&P Says Buy Sysco
Sysco (SYY ): Maintains 5 STARS (buy)
Analyst: Anishka Clarke
Foodservice distributor Sysco posted March-quarter operating earnings per share of 30 cents, vs. 26 cents, a penny below S&P's 31 cents estimate. Sales rose 9.9% on 4.3% real growth, food cost inflation of 5.2%, and 0.4% from acquisitions. In S&P's opinion, higher operating leverage from efforts to improve efficiencies and productivity at the delivery level, and lower expected inflation, should lead to further margin expansion in the remainder of fiscal 2004 (Jun.) and beyond. S&P maintains the fiscal 2004 earnings per share estimate of $1.38, and sees fiscal 2005 earnings per share of $1.64. S&P is raising the 12-month target price to $48, from $45, on a historical p-e of 29 times the fiscal 2005 earnings per share estimate.
Aventis (AVE ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold)
Analyst: Herman Saftlas, David Seemungal
Aventis accepted a sweetened bid from French drugmaker Sanofi-Synthelabo to acquire Aventis for about $64 billion, about 14.6% higher than Sanofi's previous bid. The terms call for 1.6667 Sanofi American depositary Shares plus cash of 20 euros for each Aventis ADS. Novartis said it will not submit a revised offer for Aventis. A Sanofi/Aventis combination will create the world's third largest drugmaker, with strengths in heart and oncology drugs. The deal should also yield synergies expected to reach $1.9 billion by 2006. S&P maintains the 12-month target price of $78, which represents a modest increase from the value of the new Sanofi offer.
Clear Channel Communications (CCU ): Maintains 3 STARS (hold) and Viacom (VIA.B ) 43.30 ): Maintains 5 STARS (buy)
Analyst: Tuna Amobi, CFA, CPA
According to the Radio Advertising Bureau, radio revenues grew a combined 10% in March, on 11% and 5% gains in local and national markets, after a 1% February gain and a flat January. As expected, the data affirms anecdotal evidence that bookings are occurring earlier in the cycle. S&P maintains the 2004 radio outlook for about 7% growth as national converges with local, and as firmer pricing interplays with modest unit growth. S&P notes, however, the stocks of Clear Channel and Viacom have lately been exposed to broadcast indecency enforcement actions by the Federal Communications Commission and Congress.

Good dental habits start early:
Parents play a big part in helping their children develop good dental habits by:
Children should have regular dental checkups after age 3, when all 20 baby teeth have come in, or as recommended by a pediatrician. Some children may need to visit to the dentist earlier.
Baby teeth are important:
Baby teeth, or primary teeth, are important because they help children:
Children that learn to take care of their teeth at a young age are more likely to have good dental habits as adults.
During teething, a baby's gums may become swollen and a one-piece teething ring or pacifier may ease the discomfort, Dentists discourage parents from dipping these rings in sweet liquids, which can stay on the teeth and provide a source of bacteria that can cause tooth decay.
Daily cleaning should start as soon as the baby's first tooth appears using a piece of gauze or a damp cloth to wipe the tooth/teeth clean. Switch to a toothbrush with a small (pea-sized) amount of fluoride toothpaste, as the child gets older.
Some children may develop decay in spite of the best preventive efforts. Check the teeth for early signs of decay, which may appear as white, yellow, or brown spots on the teeth.
What is fluoride?
Fluoride is a natural chemical that:
Fluoride is available in most municipal water supplies, and is also available as a supplement. The fluoride content of local water supplies varies. Water that has low levels of fluoride can be a problem for infants who get very little fluoride from breast milk or formula. Check with your local water department to find out the exact water-fluoride level in your area. Then talk with your pediatrician to see if your child needs additional fluoride.
What about thumb sucking?
Thumb sucking is normal in infants and young children and should cause no permanent problems if not continued past the age of 5. Likewise, it is generally harmless for infants to use pacifiers. Children who suck their thumbs past the age of 5 may need a referral to a pediatric dentist to determine if problems are developing.
Habits that are bad for a child's teeth:

A Review of Tandem's t:slim
Touchscreen meets insulin pump
By Adam Brown, diaTribe
"Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it's really how it works... To design something really well, you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something, chew it up, not just quickly swallow it. Most people don't take the time to do that."
Those were the words of the late Steve Jobs in an interview with Wired in February 1996. More than a decade later, Tandem Diabetes Care took this idea to heart with its new t:slim touchscreen insulin pump, which it designed after conducting a remarkable 4,000 in-depth interviews with patients, healthcare providers, and caregivers. Tandem really wanted to get inside the minds of people who take insulin — pumpers and non-pumpers alike. The new pump was approved by the FDA in November 2011 and launched just last month. I was able to get trained on the t:slim at Tandem's San Diego headquarters soon after it launched, and what follows is my experience wearing the device over the past week. So far, three themes have emerged: some clear differences from other insulin pumps, a focus on simplicity and convenience, and an attention to safety.
Part One: Differences from Other Pumps
Adam's Favorites
- iPhone-like touchscreen
- Rechargeable battery
- Highly customizable "personal profiles" for insulin delivery
From the minute I opened the shipping box, it was clear that the t:slim pump was somewhat different from other pumps I've used — included with the pump were a USB charging cable and adapters for both the wall and car. Even the included user manual comes on a credit-card-like thumb drive. But the most obvious difference between the t:slim and other pumps is the touchscreen. I found this to be the most compelling feature of the pump and a major departure from the button-driven devices I've used since I began pumping in 2002.
The Touchscreen
Most important, the touchscreen is easy to use, intuitive to navigate through, and responsive. I appreciated the screen's very bright, high contrast, full color design, which also incorporates highly readable bold font and large icons that make selection easy and mis-taps rare. Unlike some other medical device touchscreens, I also appreciated that the t:slim screen did not require a lot of finger pressure to use — it's right on par with using an iPhone or Android smartphone. The one minor shortcoming of the t:slim touchscreen is it doesn't have the smartphone swiping (i.e., to navigate up, down, left, and right) that I'm so used to. Instead, you must hit a down or up arrow key, though this was a fairly minor inconvenience because few of the menus take up more than one screen length.
The Battery
Another departure from other pumps is the t:slim's rechargeable battery, which lasts seven days on a full charge. A dead battery would take about 90 minutes to completely charge, and on average it takes about a minute of charge time for every percentage point of battery life (i.e., if the pump is at 80% battery life, that's about 20 minutes to fully charge it). Tandem recommends plugging in the t:slim for 10-15 minutes every day to "top it off" — I did this while I showered (see water resistant information below) or when sitting next to my computer, and the t:slim would always return to 100% battery life. The pump can be charged whether or not you are connected to it.
Although a rechargeable battery is new to insulin pumps, I found it refreshing and fairly easy to remember to plug it in — I'm used to doing it for my Dexcom Seven Plus CGM, my LifeScan OneTouch Verio IQ blood glucose meter, my cell phone, my laptop, my iPod, and pretty much everything else these days. The included charger cable is the very common micro-USB computer cable used for many consumer electronics, and I was happy to see Tandem include a wall adapter and car adapter. There are also a variety of battery packs, solar chargers, and the like for those who will not have access to electricity (Tandem is not currently selling these but they are easy to find online). I was glad to hear this is an option since I know many pumpers that are into outdoor camping and backpacking where charging would be a challenge.

We're not sure how George Smiley would feel at the news, but we're certainly pleased to see that Europe and Russia are teaming up to revive the moribund ExoMars missions. The ESA has signed a deal with Roscosmos, its Soviet counterpart, that'll see the pair launch an orbiter to the Red Planet in 2016, followed by a rover mission two years later. Unsurprisingly, Russia will be chipping in the rockets, leaving Europe with the job of building the hardware that'll go on it. Now all the pair need to do is argue about how best to usurp Curiosity as the mayor of the Gale Crater.

New York Fashion Week AW 2012....Michele
6 comments:
Love the relaxed leather pieces in this outfit - her jacket and her Balenciaga pom pon bag!
AwayFromTheBlue.blogspot.com.auLike Kate and stylonylon have already pointed out, this is Michele Ouellet. She and her produce their own rose, she's a total Jenna Lyons lookalike, and she's a favorite of Garance Dore's. What's not to love about Michele?!
This outfit is casual but amazing on so many levels. For one, that leather jacket is just the right amount of embellished with the epaulets, the zippers, and the buttons. I need a gorgeous jacket like that! Paired with some black skinny jeans and a chambray top, a leather jacket is the perfect piece to wear everyday. A black scarf ups the warmth factor while some fun pink lips add a great jolt of color.
Simple but oh so lust-worthy!
Ainfinitaire@Kate@Glossy Pages, @Stylonylon, @Alice - thank you so much for letting me know Michele's name and her beautiful blog! I appreciate y'all letting me know!
@monkeyshines - it is beautiful isn't it. The right shade of red on a cold and grey day in NYC. Can't wait to see what the make-up is like for the show in February!
@Mica - I could be hit by a Balenciaga bag and I wouldn't know which one it was! Thank you for letting us know!
@Alice - Agreed! that leather jacket has just the right amount of embellishment and her red lips are insanely beautiful!

Gionta returns tonight vs. Sens
by Staff Writer / New Jersey DevilsStephen Gionta will return to the New Jersey Devils' lineup Wednesday after missing the past 11 games with a sprained right ankle.
Gionta skated as the center on the fourth line between Steve Bernier and Cam Janssen during the Devils' morning skate at Prudential Center in advance of their game against the Ottawa Senators. He has two assists and is a minus-5 in 21 games this season.
Janssen is in the lineup despite leaving practice early Tuesday with an apparent right leg injury.
Martin Brodeur will start for the Devils after making 33 saves in a 3-0 win against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Saturday. That performance came on the heels of Brodeur allowing five goals in a 5-4 loss to the Columbus Blue Jackets on Dec. 10.
Ottawa goalie Robin Lehner will start opposite Brodeur. Lehner is making his third consecutive start and is coming off a 30-save performance in a 3-2 overtime win against the St. Louis Blues on Monday.
Senators coach Paul MacLean is not making any lineup changes from the game against St. Louis, meaning defenseman Marc Methot, who is able to return from his three-game absence because of the flu, will be a healthy scratch.
Here's the Devils projected lineup for tonight:
Dainius Zubrus - Travis Zajac - Jaromir Jagr
Adam Henrique - Patrik Elias - Damien Brunner
Reid Boucher - Andrei Loktionov - Michael Ryder
Steve Bernier - Stephen Gionta - Cam Janssen
Andy Greene - Mark Fayne
Eric Gelinas - Marek Zidlicky
Anton Volchenkov - Jon Merrill
Injured: Ryane Clowe (head), Bryce Salvador (foot), Adam Larsson (lower body), Peter Harrold (foot), Ryan Carter (leg)
