Netflix's popular streaming service knows we like to watch our favorite programs in one extended couch session.
It's why the first season of the network's original content debut, House of Cards, can now be seen in its entirety. The political drama starring Kevin Spacey as a slick, unethical politician spans 13 episodes, and Netflix subscribers can start watching all 13 right now should they wish.
It's one reason why Netflix poses such a unique, and formidable, challenge to the cable TV industry. And recently released numbers bear that out. A new survey says Netlix currently reaches 25 percent of all homes, a remarkable figure given the streaming outlet's relative youth.
The Cards gambit is a sure sign that the entertainment industry takes Netflix seriously. After all, the service lured Oscar-winning director David Fincher to oversee Cards, and the anticipated Arrested Development reunion series will also be seen exclusively on Netflix starting in May.
The company remains the leader in the streaming content field, although major players like Amazon and Redbox could threaten that position in the months to come. Either way, the flexibility and original programming offered by Netflix gives consumers plenty of reason to give it a whirl at less than $10 a month. Meanwhile, cable consumers continue to pay large monthly fees for a gaggle of channels they'll never, ever watch.

The Virgin Mary was from europe?
RE: The Virgin Mary was from europe?
What can I say? Some of us like our batshit insanity to have a decent narrative.

My brother purported the idea that Mary's parents sent her to be educated in the near east and married Joseph and had baby Jesus who was of mixed mid-eastern and Caucasian decent. Now This is just bizarre, I never heard anything like this but my brother always presents his case confidently, and I just find the whole idea a mess. He says he even knows this since they have the census records somewhere. I asked where he got this theory from and he cites Glenn Kimble. I just gave a search and he himself seems very dubious of the little information I actually found. A pseudo-scholar that went on Coast to Coast a lot which my brother is an avid listener. I find coast to coast a bit..eh negligible. UFO's, ghosts, big foot, conspiracies..I mean..really? (although I would like to hear some statements of Coast to coast maybe we have a few listeners? opinions?)
Well that's just silly.
Who in their right might would send somebody to be educated in that region of the known world? Grecian and Roman cities were far greater places to live and learn.
Besides, women can't learn, doesn't your brother know that they exist to provide comfort from the Gods and care for men?! They need no education!
Oh ancient pseudo-primitive societies are funny.
The people closely associated with the namesake of female canines are suffering from a nondescript form of lunacy.

Equifax has already put 143 million U.S. consumers' sensitive private data at risk, and now it has a whole new problem on its hands: an online employee portal in Argentina, which could be easily accessed using 'admin' as both the username and password, according to the BBC.
It's a less-than-reassuring development for the credit report provider, and it was revealed this week by cybersecurity expert Brian Krebs.
The vulnerability Krebs identified was in a web portal that let the company's employees in Argentina access credit report disputes for Argentinian consumers, he said.
"It was wide open, protected by perhaps the most easy-to-guess password combination ever: 'admin/admin,'" Krebs wrote in a blog post detailing exactly how the vulnerability was discovered by Hold Security LLC, a U.S. cybersecurity firm that Krebs advises.
Forbes reports that about 14,000 records were accessible on the site over 715 different pages.
Equifax has already shut down the website in question, according to the BBC.
"We learned of a potential vulnerability in an internal portal in Argentina which was not in any way connected to the cybersecurity event that occurred in the United States last week," an Equifax spokeswoman told the BBC. "We immediately acted to remediate the situation, which affected a limited amount of information strictly related to Equifax employees."
Krebs said that if anyone had gotten into the easy-to-access portal, he or she would have been able to access thousands of customers' private data—including Argentinians' national identification numbers, though unlike U.S. social security numbers, those numbers are not closely guarded, BBC reports.
Still, cybersecurity expert Alan Woodward of the University of Surrey told the BBC that the kind of vulnerability seen in Argentina was "extraordinary."
"It's outrageous that any organization that holds such sensitive personal data can build a portal with this kind of basic security vulnerability," Woodward said. "It simply shouldn't happen and responding that they have now fixed the issue is not the point: it puts a huge question mark over whether Equifax have been applying the appropriate resources to online security elsewhere."
Equifax told the BBC that there was no indication any sort of breach of the Argentinian data had happened.
"We have no evidence at this time that any consumers or customers have been negatively affected," the spokeswoman said. "We will continue to test and improve all security measures in the region."
Pressure is mounting for a federal investigation into the breach in the U.S.
Just yesterday, 36 U.S. senators pushed for an inquiry into the fact that three Equifax executives sold almost $2 million in shares of the credit report company before the breach became public, according to Reuters.

Dr. Nicole Sirju-Johnson is the Associate Chief Diversity Officer at Binghamton University. She is originally from Brooklyn NY. She graduated the Valedictorian from George Westinghouse High School (Brooklyn, NY) in 1993 and went on to attend SUNY College at Brockport where she earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Political Science. Upon graduation, she came to Binghamton University to pursue a Masters of Public Administration degree which she completed in 1999. While in the doctoral program, Nicole began to teach several of her own courses in feminism, American government and public administration. In 2005, Nicole accepted an administrative position with the Undergraduate Admissions office at Binghamton University. As an Assistant Director, she soon became the territory manager for the five boroughs of New York City. While Nicole retains a passion for the admissions process, she welcomed the opportunity to serve as Director of the Multicultural Resource Center in 2008, where her charge was to build an inclusive programming agenda for students and a diversity training program for university professionals and staff. While continuing her administrative career, Nicole earned a PhD in Political Science in May of 2011. 2014 was a great year, in that Nicole accepted the position of Associate Chief Diversity Officer with the Division of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, a promotion at the university. In 2014, Nicole and her husband Jamar Johnson, also an alum of Binghamton, opened a food stand during the summer of 2015. The goal was to see if their product, American southern and soulfood would work in Binghamton, without having the overhead costs of occupying a building. The food stand was a trial run at operating a restaurant. The effort was met with great local response. In June 2015, the couple opened Jrama's Soulfood Grille & Barbecue Pit on Upper Front in Binghamton. Since then, the couple opened Jrama's Catering Hall & Event Center in September 2016. Currently, Nicole looks to expand the responsibilities of her division at Binghamton University while supporting the expansion of the Jrama's brand locally.
Jamar Johnson has always had a passion for serving others. While in high school, Jamar's first job was serving as an usher for the historic Apollo Theatre in Harlem NY. Jamar believes that experience of working with famous people at a young age afforded him great insight into how to not only serve people, but also taught him what great entertainment was all about. He graduated from Rice Academy, an all-male catholic school in NYC. He came to Binghamton to major in Sociology. Jamar began working for the Children's Home of Wyoming Conference, in 2001. Upon graduation, he would later complete training to become a peace officer in Broome County, NY. Throughout college and after graduation, Jamar was a busy promoter and event planner, working with many local night clubs to plan events. He knew, while a student that he always wanted to go into business for himself. He did this while still working full time at the Children's Home.
After 14 years of service to the Children's Home, Jamar stepped out on faith and opened a food stand in 2014 in the parking lot of the American Legion, Post #80 in Binghamton. During the summer months, Jamar and his wife would run a street-side restaurant to assess whether southern soulfood would work in a northern NY community. The response was so well received that by the close of the summer season, Jamar and his wife began looking for a permanent home for a full service restaurant.
In June 2015, Jamar and his wife opened Jrama's Soulfood Grille & Barbecue Pit on Upper Front St in Binghamton. Since then, the business has won Best Barbecue by the Press & Sun's Reader's Choice Awards for 2016 and 2017. Jrama's has also been named one of the top 13 barbecue restaurants in upstate NY State open all year by UpstateNY.com
In September 2016, Jamar and his wife opened Jrama's Catering Hall & Event Center on State Street in Binghamton. The venue caters weddings, funerals and everything in between from comedy shows to engagement parties and corporate events. This allows Jamar to not just provide a great food product but also to host great events.
Jamar's immediate goals for the businesses are to continue to build and expand the brand in providing excellence in food and great events locally. He believes Jrama's is unique and stands out among other local restaurants and wants the product to become a household name.

Brianna Barnett is a native of Binghamton, NY and the president/co-founder of Broome County Cleanup Crew (BCCC). BCCC is a local, all volunteer organization that aims to provide an outlet for community members to give back in a positive way, while enhancing the appearance of our town. The crew hosts weekly community cleanups during the summer, and monthly cleanups during the colder seasons. Brianna is also a local dance teacher in the Southern Tier, and holds herself to very high standards when it comes to being a role model to our community's youth. Working as a professional cheerleader/model in NYC from 2012-2017, she experienced a fast-paced, "only look out for yourself" type of lifestyle. Though traveling the world and performing on numerous television shows was what she had always thought was her dream, actually living it out is what drew her back to Binghamton. She felt as though there was a pressure put on performers that allows them to believe that they can only be great if they leave Binghamton. Through her experiences, she made the decision that that is simply untrue. She decided that she was going to begin taking steps to help the community she grew up in thrive, and become a place where people don't feel they need to leave to be great. She wants to bring the greatness here. Though to some picking up trash around town may seem like it won't make a big impact, Brianna believes that it's a way to teach our youth the importance of caring for humanity through kindness, community empowerment, and environmental awareness.

The novel and film tell the life story of Jean-Baptiste Grenouille, played by newcomer Ben Whishaw, a French orphan born into harsh circumstances, who has an impeccable sense of smell that gets him interested in creating the perfect perfume scent. Unfortunately, that involves finding beautiful, pleasant-smelling women and capturing their essence before they die from the process. Yes, it's the story of a serial killer who plagued 18th Century France, and it's a truly original concept in the sense of the setting and M.O. of the main character, and it allowed Tom Tykwer to pull out all of his visual stops to create an unforgettable cinematic experience.
It's quite a comeback for the director who ComingSoon.net got to speak to during a brief stopover in New York City.
ComingSoon.net: This is a well-known book in Germany
Tom Tykwer: In all of Europe. Actually, here it's also got 2 million copies sold here only, 15 million altogether I think.
CS: How did you come onto this project?
Tykwer: I was asked to do it; [the producers] offered to me. I reread the novel, totally loved it. I read it when it came out twenty years ago when I was pretty young and didn't even know that I'd make it as a filmmaker. Then reading it again showed me that there's a lot of stuff in there that I could really connect with on a deeper level than I really knew than what I have a particular knowledge about. There's some kind of strange "siblinghood" or kinship between this character and my previous characters. I really felt like there's someone really struggling to find attention and love, breaking quite many rules for that. In this case of course, more than in any of my other movies. I was really hooked by this whole idea of making a film about someone, who we deeply root for and who then goes away, we find really difficult to follow, but we nevertheless do follow. We don't let go of him. We kind of stay with him all the way through, even though he becomes a murderer, because we're so curious about what he's after.
CS: Was there already a script in play that you worked on and developed or you started from scratch?
Tykwer: I joined a writing team that was Andrew Birkin and Bernd Eichinger, they had done a draft, but we went through another 20, so really, we spent more or less 2 years of continuous writing.
CS: I wasn't sure about this, but is the author, Patrick Süskind, still alive and was he involved with this at all?
Tykwer: No, he's the German J.D. Salinger. Many people don't believe he exists, but I do know he does because I met him, one of the rare occasions that he was available. We had a nice meeting and he was wishing me very much luck, and also said, "Please leave me alone with this film because I've already spent half my life with it."
Tykwer: I was already writing on it, yes. I was sitting there with the writers together, and he was brought to me to be introduced. That was quite an important meeting for me, but at the same time, without any consequence, except the consequence that he left mewhich was also very nicethat we could do the film the way we wanted to do the film.
CS: What was the biggest challenge in terms of adapting his book?
Tykwer: The main character and the ambiguity of the character, and the fact that in literature, a different set of rules apply a bit to how you can treat the protagonist than in cinema, because you're watching the guy all the time, you need to bond with other tricks and terms to get the audience really involved. Yeah, we worked hard on that, specifically in the script, and of course, then it was up to casting to find the right guy, that could make people feel closer to him and never let go of him.
CS: How did you end up finding Ben Whishaw to play Grenouille? He's done a few things but nothing on this scale, I'm sure.
Tykwer: No, that was a lucky thing. I was sent to see this play at the Old Vic Theatre in London, which was "Hamlet," and he was a 23-year-old doing Hamlet on a big traditional stage. It was for me, the most amazingly different and extremely modern approach that he had towards the character that I found so amazing. I found it amazing that he was making Hamlet seem like a contemporary character. That was so much also the instinct that I was having towards our film. I wanted our film to be a period picture shot in a way that it feels so contemporary and modern, that you get the feeling as if you were wandering around in 18th Century with a camera, cinema verité style, and being able to shoot anywhere we want, then also throwing out all the backgrounds in a way just for the shot. Not showing off with it. Not doing this whole presentational mode that so many period pictures have, where you feel like they're forced to become slower in the narration just for the sake of showing how much effort they've put into reconstructing the period, which nobody cares for.
CS: Speaking of narration, that was John Hurt doing the voice-over who also did voice-over for Lars Von Trier's last two movies. Were they an influence on you hiring him?
Tykwer: No influence at all. I just think he was by far the best choice for narrating this, because he gives it a feeling of safety. He's like a safety net that he puts under you, and he gives you a certain amount of security, but he can also relate to the humor and the more ironic parts of the story. At the same time, he's only framing the film with the narration and he gives it this whole feeling of being protected because there's this voice, and then you are not, because the movie goes so far more into unexpected territory and dark zones, and the narrator vanishes, so you're left alone with this darkly romantic nightmare.
CS: This is an interesting production, because it's a German book, you're a German director, but it's set in France with a lot of British actors. Did you actually shoot in France?
Tykwer: Yes, we shot in France, Spain, exteriors, also on location on a stage in Munich. Strangely enough, everyone accepts that they speak English, because it's just the international or common language of film.
CS: Süskind's novel was originally written in German, so would you know why he decided to set the story in France?
Tykwer: Oh, he's very much a Francophile, and he's been living there for awhile, in Paris, and he's been living in Grass for a long time for private reasons, but also he started researching there for the book. So he's quite connected to the country. I am, too. I'm very open in France. I just don't speak French well enough to even have the opportunity to shoot something in French.
Tykwer: (laughs) I don't know. Yeah, this whole idea of Grenouille being sort of like a connoisseur or gourmet of smell whereas Lecter is a gourmet of a specific kind of food, but there's this idea of being a specialist in something and being dangerous because of that, which of course gives some similarity to the characters, but you should never forget that Lecter is a character who kills also partly for pleasure, whereas Grenouille doesn't kill for pleasure at all. He just doesn't know how to do better or how to make it simpler. He's a collector of beauty, he collects sculptural elements in a way to compose the ultimate beautiful sculpture, which is the scent that he's creating. He doesn't have at all the perspective of himself to be a murdered, although objectively of course, he is.
CS: This was a huge production, and one of the most memorable things is the crowd scene at the end. The first thing I thought of was that photographer famous for doing huge group nude shots.
Tykwer: Yeah, we saw his pictures, and he's amazing, and of course, funnily enough because we shot that sequence in Barcelona, his most successful project happened there, more people than anywhere else showed up and were ready to undress and do the picture. It's really funny because that was my experience, too. We needed time to rehearse with those people, and we needed time to get them into the mood and set-up their perspective on the scene, but then they went for it, and they didn't want to stop. They kept going and going and going.
CS: The success of the movie in Germany and Europe is amazing. You said the book sold a few million copies, here, but do you think this sort of movie can translate well here? Period pieces tend to have a bit of a spotty history with audiences here.
Tykwer: Well, I have great experiences with American audiences, they've always been very curious at least about my stuff, I think because of the mix of traditional approach that you can feel a little safe in, and then of course, there's so much to discover in the movie, as much as the book was I hope, that's unlike any other film. I'm still so much an audience myself that I don't want to deliver a movie that I myself as an audience would find a repetition of something I've seen already. I want to see new stuff, because I know what's out there. I know what people are waiting for, and I know that the Americans–once a film is exciting to watch–are quite open-minded about making it a success, especially if it's also interesting.
CS: Before we wrap this up, what is your obsession with that bright red hair?
Tykwer: No, no, no. That's a sheer coincidence. I totally distance myself from any because it's in the book. It's coincidence, as much as we believe in coincidence.

|The sitting room we inherited
Nothing spurs you into activity more than physical discomfort. We moved into our little
cottage in the summer and even then it was cold,"indoors." As the evenings
started to draw in through autumn we started to feel the chill even more and
the light was never quite, well bright enough to see. I was thinking of getting
my eyes tested and constantly cleaning my glasses, but had to accept it was the
general gloom of the interior once actual direct sunlight stopped shinning
through those tiny windows.
|Starting to "improve"?
|The wall down dust and boulders
Because of the dust we had set up camp in our bedroom, but do you know dust can come through floorboards and carpets! When we were busy it was not so bad, but once we stopped, I had taken to getting into bed with a thick cardigan on and knitting with gloves on. I looked like a character out of a Dickens novel, all poor and Victorian!
We would leave the windows and solar panels to the following year, but the difference with the wall going down was amazing even though the floor was full of boulders and dust half tiled and half cement, it looked brighter already.
|Brr freezing outside and in!
|the "beast" holding the promise of warmth & cosiness
They were all up to their neck in work and would send us a quote ASAP. Three weeks later, nothing, with another round of calls and promises coming to nought we came to the conclusion they spent all their time going round chatting to folk and living off tea and cake laid on during their mammoth visits and didn't actually install anything. Having invested so much time we tried to recruit one guy who although "busy" had shared a lot of good ideas with us, but he had to tell us he couldn't actually do the job because he was too "busy!".
He came round about three times advising us and he was great and we selected a burner with his guidance and he delivered it and helped Phil and good old brother in law carry it in. It was a beast I have never got so excited over a lump of metal with a glass door in it before, not even a new car has thrilled me to the extent this handsome multi fuel burner did. It was, actually beautiful and it hinted at warmth and cosiness something I yearned for with a passion.

LSU basketball will hire VCU's Will Wade to take helm of program
BATON ROUGE, La. — Where there's a will, there's a way, and at LSU there will be a Will Wade. The 34-year-old Virginia Commonwealth coach has agreed to a six-year contract to become the next LSU men's basketball coach.
The deal was initially reported by ESPN, then made official by LSU basketball's Twitter account within the hour.
Sweet dreams Tiger fans. It's official! pic.twitter.com/jAKrmVoRfG
— LSU Basketball (@LSUBasketball) March 21, 2017
The numbers of Wade's contract at LSU have not yet been released, but he was set to make $1.5 million per year at VCU the next seven years. He also has a $1 million buyout.
LSU athletic director Joe Alleva and deputy athletic director Eddie Nunez flew to Richmond, Va., to interview Wade on Sunday morning and apparently sealed the deal to make him the Tigers' next head coach Monday evening.
Wade took over the VCU program from Shaka Smart and led the Rams to the NCAA Tournament in both of his seasons. The Rams reached the second round last year and were eliminated by No. 7 seed St. Mary's in the first round of this year's tournament. He had a 51-20 record at VCU on top of a 40-25 mark in his two seasons at Chattanooga.
Wade started at his alma mater, Clemson, as a graduate assistant and director of basketball operations before landing assistant coaching jobs at Harvard (2007-09) and VCU (2009-13). Wade will be LSU's first men's basketball coach under the age of 40 since the Tigers hired 37-year-old Dale Brown in 1972.
LSU fired Johnny Jones after five seasons as the Tigers dipped to 2-16 in SEC play and set a new school record for consecutive losses. LSU has only reached the NCAA Tournament once since 2009.

Providing the highest quality natural foods for baby's first foods is a priority for many parents. Finding the best baby food maker can be a challenge when you know nothing about making baby food. That's where we can help! We purchased and tested the six of the top baby food makers on the market to discover which options make the best purees. We ran each maker through a gamut of tests with a variety of foods to pinpoint the right product for different goals and families. From the all-in-one steamer/blender to the simple immersion blender, we did the messy work so you don't have to.
The Best Baby Food Maker Review
Analysis and Award Winners
Best baby food maker
Baby Bullet
The Baby Bullet is a quick and simple baby food making solution with few parts that is easy to clean. The Bullet creates smooth purees and chunkier foods by blending or pulsing as desired. It has few parts to keep track of and everything is easy to clean with no nooks or crannies for harmful bacteria or mold to hide. We like the friendly price and food storage containers that make this an affordable and useful option for most families. While you do need to cook the food on your stove top before blending, we think steaming on the stove top is just as easy as an all-in-one steam without the plastic related health concerns and a quicker dishwasher safe clean up. Unless you have your heart set on an all-in-one option you can set and forget, we think it is hard to go wrong with the impressive Baby Bullet and its simple setup.
Read review: Baby Bullet
Easy handheld option
Sage Spoonfuls Puree and Blend
The Sage Spoonfuls Puree and Blend produced near perfect puree every time with a simple, intuitive interface that can be used quickly right out of the box. We did run into a few hiccoughs with some crunchier than desired carrots while using the immersion blender, but overall its compact size, versatility, ease of use, simple cleaning procedure, and the high-quality puree impressed us. The immersion blender enables parents to puree softer foods to a perfect consistency in a matter of seconds. We found the food processor to be equally effective, quickly grinding brown rice or oatmeal to tiny granules, perfect for baby cereals. While the immersion blender is not equipped to handle hard, raw foods, the food processor takes over in this category to finish the job. In short, this product blends like a dream, has a small footprint in your kitchen, and will definitely remain a useful cooking tool well beyond the time you use it for preparing food for your baby. With a budget-friendly price, it is hard to find fault with this healthy option.
Read review: Sage Spoonfuls Puree and Blend
Best all-in-one steamer and blender
Cuisinart BFM-1000
The Cuisinart BFM-1000 is the highest ranking all-in-one we tested with a simple cooking feature and smoother purees and the other steam and blend options. The Cuisinart is an easy to use steam and cook product that utilizes the same bowl for cooking and blending making it a quicker and easier to use choice than the products that require food transfer. We liked the simple user interface and the ability to do other things while the food cooked. On the downside the Cuisinart has a hard to clean steam tank you can't see or reach into that Amazon reviewers report can get gross over time and the price is on the high side for families on a budget. However, if the price isn't a factor and you are diligent about cleanliness and routine maintenance, then the Cuisinart might be a good choice for parents who want a set and forget option.
Read review: Cuisinart BFM-1000
Analysis and Test Results
For testing we considered the following criteria to be the most important when it came to evaluating how well the baby food makers work, puree quality, ease of use, ease of cleaning, and health and safety.
Obviously, you want a product that creates high-quality purees for baby's first foods, but there are other factors to consider that impact daily use and cleanup. The following sections provide details on the results for the baby food makers we tested.
Puree Quality
The most important component of any baby food maker is its ability to puree food smooth enough for baby. We considered how well the products pureed, whether or not there were chunks or skins left behind, and how consistent the texture was time after time. We found most of the problems with puree quality typically had to do with the blade, the bowl and blade design that sometimes caused food to move away from the chopping area, the consistency of the food (how well it was cooked and type), and the quantity being blended. Like cooking for adults, you need to be willing to adjust your recipe as you go (such as adding extra water to particularly dry foods) to achieve a quality puree for an infant. Of course, older babies that are more accustomed to eating solids will likely not mind chunkier foods, but you should always be cautious to avoid hard solid foods to prevent choking.
The puree only food makers, in general, created smoother and more consistent puree blends than the steam and blend options. We aren't sure if the products failed to cook the food enough or the blades and product design were incapable of blending as well as the blend only options, but we created much smoother food with the Baby Bullet and the Sage Spoonfuls Puree and Blend the only two products we tested without steam capabilities. The Baby Bullet earned the top score with the Sage Spoonfuls Puree and Blend and the Cuisinart BFM-1000 coming in right behind it.
Ease of Use
Most of the products we tested were fairly easy to use. Naturally, the number of parts corresponded with the difficulty of setup and use, but the user interface varied from one knob to no buttons to settings that required the manual to determine.
All of the blender only options were simple to use, had intuitive interfaces and required little effort to assemble. The all-in-one machines required more research to operate properly. We also found ourselves constantly turning to the manual to determine just how long each particular food needed to be cooked for some of these options. It would have been helpful for these companies to provide a magnet or laminated guide of steam times, so parents are not always flipping through the manuals.
Even though the blend only options will require stove top cooking of food before use we still think that is easier and less of a hassle than using the all-in-one steamers with the higher learning curve. Once again the Baby Bullet and the Sage Spoonfuls Puree and Blend earned top scores for ease of use with the Cuisinart BFM-100 right behind them. The Babymoov Nutribaby has a complicated setup process and user panel, with two different bowls for cooking and blending making it the hardest one to learn and operate.
Health and Safety
Health and safety include elements related to potential health concerns or the possibility of injury while using the machines. For the blender, only options the main concern is the blades and is there some kind of safety mechanism that prevents the blades from spinning when your fingers may be in contact with the blades.
With the steamers, we considered the potential for plastic to leach chemicals into food, especially when heated during the cooking process and whether or not the devices had steam tanks that were hard to clean or difficult to see into indicating a potential for bacteria or mold growth that could reach baby's food.
The blender only options once again excelled with no water tanks or nooks and crannies for things to grow unchecked. This gave the Baby Bullet and Sage Spoonfuls Puree and Blend top scores with the Cuisinart BFM-1000 earning the lowest score thanks to an impossible to see into the water tank and a plastic mixing bowl. All of the options had safety mechanisms to prevent blade interaction, but they all made different efforts to prevent burns from steaming. The all-in-one options that require transferring cooked food from one container to the blender container have the highest potential for burns, which really hurt the BEABA Babycook and the Babymoov Nutribaby.
Ease of Cleaning
Cleaning food off of any surface is difficult, particularly if it is sharp. Extra care needs to be taken when cleaning each of the products we tested. Cleaning the all-in-one products was a bit trickier, as the water chambers cannot be accessed (these need to be cleaned periodically to prevent mineral deposit build-up to preserve the longevity of the machine).
A lot of the machines had top-rack dishwasher safe parts, which was helpful, but we also found the use of a bottle brush really simplified the hand-washing process and quick rinsing after use helped as well. Even though many parts were dishwasher safe, we recommend hand washing whenever possible to prolong the longevity of the product. This will also help prevent degradation of the plastic that could lead to potential leaching of chemicals.
The Sage Spoonfuls Puree and Blend earned the highest score for ease of cleaning. With few parts that clean quickly and no small crevices or need for a bottle brush, it is tough to beat this blender. The Baby Bullet was right behind with only two components that also require no special parts or harbor hidden bacteria you can't reach. The all-in-one machines were the hardest to clean with steam tanks that require regular maintenance and some areas you can't see much less reach for proper cleaning. The Baby Brezza Complete has a lot of parts and the unique blade with small holes required rinsing immediately after use, or you'd be scrubbing for awhile to get the holes clean.
Buying a baby food maker can be a challenging decision if you have little experience in this arena. Deciding if you need an all-in-one machine or a simple puree device alone can be difficult, add on determining just how you plan to use the maker and what is most important to you and the decision can become overwhelming. After extensive testing, we think there is an option here for every family with almost any baby food making goal in mind. If you're looking for more advice on how to make your decision, you'll want to review our buying advice article to help you determine if you need a cooker/blender or if a simple puree machine will do.

Fennec fox, blue eared pheasant for Langkawi Wildlife Park
Posted on 21 July 2015 - 01:44pm

LANGKAWI: Fresh from winning another TripAdvisor recognition, the Langkawi Wildlife Park is ready to showcase additional attractions to lure more visitors to enjoy "a unique wild interaction".
Its general manager, Teoh Cheng Kung, said a fennec fox and a blue eared pheasant will be the latest additions to join some 100 other species of wildlife at the park, which was accorded a certificate of excellence by the world's largest travel site.
"The new animals would only be available for viewing after the Aidilfitri holidays. We obtained them recently and they need ample time to recondition and de-stress themselves," he told Bernama.
Teoh said the fennec fox is a small nocturnal omnivorous mammal commonly found in the Sahara desert where it feeds on insects and rodents.
"Visitors to our park will definitely adore this fox more for its unique physical features such as its big ears and small size that really makes it a cute animal," he said.
Teoh said the blue eared pheasant is a rare and beautiful fowl from central China.
"It is quite big and will definitely become another star at the park, especially for its colourful features," he said.
Other animals at the part include crocodiles, Arapaima fish and a variety of bird species.
The park, situated in Kampung Belanga Pecah, 13m from Kuah, enjoys an average of 400 visitors daily during off-peak periods and about 700 on weekends and holidays.
"Our park's specialty is interaction between the visitors and the animals. Other parks may not allow visitors to feed their animals but we do and we even provide the proper food for the animals that our guests plan to feed," Teoh said. – Bernama

The Obameter
Seek to negotiate a political agreement on Cyprus
"As president, Barack Obama will show U.S. leadership in seeking to negotiate a political settlement on Cyprus. He believes strongly that Cyprus should remain a single, sovereign country in which each of the two communities on the island is able to exercise substantial political authority within a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation."
Settlement talks are continuing, but they're struggling
During the 2008 presidential election, Barack Obama promised to "show U.S. leadership in seeking to negotiate a political settlement on Cyprus. He believes strongly that Cyprus should remain a single, sovereign country in which each of the two communities on the island is able to exercise substantial political authority within a bi-zonal, bi-communal federation."
Since 1974, Cyprus has been divided. Two-thirds of the island is under the control of an internationally recognized government that is predominantly Greek-Cypriot. It is a member of the European Union. The remaining one-third under the control of a Turkish Cypriot government that is recognized only by Turkey.
According to the U.S. State Department's country background page on Cyprus, "The United States regards the status quo on Cyprus as unacceptable. Successive U.S. administrations have viewed U.N.-led intercommunal negotiations as the best means to achieve a fair and permanent settlement."
On-again, off-again negotiations under United Nations auspices have been under way for decades. The most recent round of talks began in May 2010.
Before a U.N.-called meeting of Cypriot leaders in late January 2012, the Guardian reported that "the prospects for a settlement ... remain as distant as ever."
After those talks concluded, Voice of America reported on Jan. 26, 2012, that "United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon has acknowledged U.N. talks on Cyprus have ended with little tangible progress, but added he may call an international conference in late April or early May on a settlement to resolve the division of the island."
VOA reported that "negotiations between President Demetris Christofias, who heads the internationally recognized Greek-Cypriot government, and Turkish-Cypriot leader Dervis Eroglu have effectively stalled and are in jeopardy of collapse. Commentators originally believed that the U.N. chief might succeed in Cyprus where others had faltered, but he acknowledges major issues, such as property abandoned by displaced Greek Cypriots then occupied by settlers from mainland Turkey, remain unresolved."
If the talks turn in a more positive direction, we'll adjust our rating. But for now, the downbeat assessments of the current round of talks suggest that the likelihood of progress seems distant. So we rate this a Promise Broken.
State Department Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs, "Background Note: Cyprus," Oct. 31, 2011
The Guardian, "Farewell to an era - but island can't move on: Legacy of Turkish Cypriot leader survives as failure of talks frustrates EU and UN," Jan. 21, 2012 (accessed via Nexis)
Voice of America, "U.N. Tries to Revive Faltering Cyprus Peace Talks," Jan. 26, 2012
Obama has promoted settlement of Cyprus issue with Turkish officials
"Advancing peace also includes the disputes that persist in the Eastern Mediterranean. And here there's a cause for hope," Obama said in his address to the Turkish Parliament. "The two Cypriot leaders have an opportunity through their commitment to negotiations under the United Nations Good Offices Mission. The United States is willing to offer all the help sought by the parties as they work towards a just and lasting settlement that reunifies Cyprus into a bizonal and bicommunal federation."On Oct. 17, 2009, President Obama and President Abdullah Gul of Turkey spoke by telephone, and according to a White House readout of the conversation provided to the press, one of the issues discussed was "the need for sustained engagement in resolving the Cyprus problem and in promoting stability in Bosnia-Herzegovina."
And then on Dec. 7, 2009, Prime Minister Erdogan of Turkey traveled to the United States and met privately with President Obama. In remarks made by the two to the press afterward, neither mentioned Cyprus by name. But according to a White House press release in advance of the visit, one of the issues Obama planned to discuss was "promoting a settlement of the Cyprus problem."
We think those diplomatic efforts warrant this promise moving to In the Works.

The next time you're considering bumping uglies with a new partner, bump phones first.
Wait, what?
A recently added feature to the MedXCom app for iOS, called MedXSafe, allows users to seamlessly exchange their STD free status by bumping iPhones.
After getting a screening, users can have their doctor sign off these results through the MedXSafe service (he/she will need to sign up with MedXCom him/herself). This information is loaded into a user's profile, which in turn can be shared through bumping phones with another MedXCom user.
But what about HIPAA? You know, the federal regulation protecting personal health information? Is MedXSafe in violation of this rule?
"Absolutely not," says Dr. Michael Nusbaum, creator of MedXCom. "Your doctor, college health center or local health clinic can test you for STDs and sign off on MedXSafe that you are free of STDs as of the date the tests are completed. You choose to share the info. No privacy laws are broken and it never reveals if you have anything. It only provides you with a clean bill of health as of a certain date."
As Dr. Nusbaum insinuates, such an app could prove to be especially beneficial to the college population as more than one in four college students have an STD (slightly worse odds than Russian Roulette). But as the obligatory STD-conversation goes, and the MedXSafe website reiterates, the only way to be 100% safe is through abstinence.

Antonio Ballatore Bio
Antonio Ballatore, the Season 4 champion of HGTV Design Star, is ready to bring his distinct and edgy design aesthetic to HGTV audiences. With his new series, The Antonio Project, Antonio wows viewers with the same unexpected design perspective that the HGTV Design Star judges loved.
Antonio, a New York native, believed he would be a rock star by age 40. While pursuing his dreams of music stardom, he spent time between gigs learning how to build houses. This experience led him to design restaurants and clubs in Manhattan and, later, design sets for world-famous photographers, including Annie Leibovitz and David LaChapelle.
Antonio resides in Los Angeles with his English bulldog, Chewie.

He is the only reporter who was present for Kennedy's shooting, the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald, and the shooting of Oswald by Jack Ruby.

Author has written 5 stories for Romance, and General.
Most often, I write sort of modern/post-modern. I love stream of consciousness, so expect some dabbling as such. I write whatever comes to mind, be it fantastic, romantic, historic, or just a moment in time I thought I might capture with my own description.
On a more personal note, I most enjoy crisply clean lines, Ice Breakers Liquid Ice (they pop in your eyes, not your hand), new cell phone ringtones, neck and head massages, bookstores and the smell of new books, stretched canvas, the Lazy!backstroke, and pretending I'm too cool to dance to Billy Idol. Of course, you'd know all of this if you'd been to my MySpace. ;)
Reviews are more than welcome. In fact, they are very much desired. I've been writing for the entirety of my living memory and I know there's still more I could learn from even just one truthful review or criticism.

Branches of Science Lesson Plans
Teachers can use branches of science lesson plans to get students excited about science careers.
By Jennifer Sinsel
When asked to describe a "scientist," most children imagine a man with glasses and a white coat working alone in a lab. Words that sometimes come to mind include "Einstein", "genius," and, unfortunately, "nerd." However, the ways in which scientists actually think and act often contradict these stereotypes. Real scientists come from many different backgrounds and approach problems in many ways, often using various forms of what we call the Scientific Method to investigate questions of interest. Furthermore, rather than sitting by themselves in front of a Bunsen burner, scientists frequently collaborate via email, telephone, and professional conferences.
In addition to the above stereotypes, most students mistakenly believe that careers in science are relegated only to the four major courses found in most high schools: biology, chemistry, physics, and Earth science. However, there are literally hundreds of branches of science, ranging from anatomy to zoology – there is literally something for everyone with an interest in science!
One way to get students thinking about various career opportunities in science is to write the name of a major branch, such as Earth science, on the board. Teams of three or four students can create a graphic organizer listing as many sub-topics as they can. For the Earth science example, students might list things like weather (meteorology), rocks (geology), oceans (oceanography), volcanoes (volcanology), earthquakes (seismology), and fossils (paleontology). If no one knows the technical terms for scientists who study these topics, students can use books, encyclopedias, or the Internet in order to find out.
Ask students to choose a branch from those discussed in class and conduct research to write an essay entitled "A Day in the Life of a _____________________." The essay should include how the scientist might spend the day from the moment he or she arrives at work until it's time to go home in the evening. Other things students might want to include are educational requirements, travel opportunities, or exciting elements of the job. After individual students share their essays, a game of "I Have, Who Has" can be played to review the various branches of science that were presented.
For other great ideas that deal with various branches of science, try the following lesson plans.
Branches of Science Lesson Plans:
In this lesson students learn about scientists and their occupations. They discuss what companies might hire scientists, and find out what they might do. This can help students start thinking about all the different tasks scientists might have.
Students learn about Earth science, and identify the different branches. They discuss the jobs an Earth scientist might take on. They also discuss the Earth's shape, its dimensions, and composition.
This lesson has students do Internet research to find out about different scientific fields. They discuss different types of scientific work. They compare what they learn in class to the research that is conducted outside the classroom.

Help the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a mega mutant battle between them and the super villains Bebop and Rocksteady with their dark ninjas. After a good slice of pizza, choose two of them to be part of your fighting team, going as a couple to analyze better the battle and offer you full control of the action. Click with the Mouse in the perfect moment, just as if trying to score or something, for them to unleash all their skills and abilities using weapons, aiming perfectly to the head of the enemy.
