"This isn't your usual Chocolate Shop. I loved it the moment I walked through the door. Janet, the owner, is a savvy chocolatier, an artist, and has created (along with her husband) a very charming place.
"While we chatted I had a wonderful cup of Venezuelan Dark sipping chocolate and we shared a great conversation and passion for re-purposing. Not only is there great European chocolate drinks they have a nice assortment of chocolates by Theo, Dick Taylor, and Dolceria Bonajuto, Sicily, and coffee by Velton's."
–Rene F, Seattle WA (from Yelp)
Janet made me one of he best mochas I've had, very cool shop to get coffee chocolate and wine.
Excellent little chocolate shop. I've been here a few times with my wife and the owner is very nice and recommends different drinking chocolates for us. She's also let us sample a few different things. I like to try the high (greater than 70%) cocoa and her recommendations have been very helpful for getting ones that have a complex taste to match.— Manoj B., via Yelp
"This is the place to go for a mocha above all others. Made with Italian drinking chocolate, it's rich and wonderful. My husband had the chocolate raspberry drinking chocolate – super yum! The shop is filled with wonderful chocolate for eating and drinking, cute handmade gifts and an owner who is a genuinely nice and friendly person. And, she knows her chocolate and coffee. Take a break from your busy, crazy day and stop in for a treat. You'll be happy you did."
–Paul C, Seattle (via Yelp)
What an elegant, comfortable little neighborhood spot ! Splendid coffee and extraordinary chocolate. The proprietor is low-key and very welcoming. The space feels nurturing like a great yoga studio, but instead of exercise– chocolate! I'm so glad I happened on this spot.
— Kristen W, via Yelp
I am just in this place. The owner is amazing at communicating her passion to her customers. My chocolate drink is amazing too. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone loving chocolate!
– Arnaud C, Seattle, via Yelp
Amazing ambience, courteous and smiling host, mind blowing drinking chocolate and fab cappuccino!— Richa P., via Google review
We live just up the street, and have passed this place many times. We finally decided to walk down and check it out. Janet, the owner, is quite knowledgable about everything chocolate, and has some wonderful ideas if you are at all wavering on a decision. My husband and I hung around for a while, sipping delicious chocolate in this amazing little shop. DEFINITELY worth the stop. Oh! And they play movies there in the evening!!
Gabrielle R, Seattle (via Yelp)
"This delicious drinking chocolate makes the perfect gift for my chocolate-minded friends."
— Sayre M, New York NY
Janet, who owns this store is amazing. She was very helpful while I was trying to figure out which chocolate I wanted to buy to make my hot chocolates at home. She offered to make me some hot chocolate to try a particular chocolate. When I told her I don't drink dairy and only drink unsweetened almond milk, she said, "Oh, I have that." What? This milk is hard to find in a coffee shop so when a chocolate shop carries this it shows a commitment to the customers. She is extremely customer service oriented and takes a lot of pride in the products she carries. This store is a gem in the Ballard renaissance.
— Sarah L, via Yelp
I found your company through a friend who introduced me to your delicious chocolate.
— Anna T, Mt Vernon WA
"We ordered sipping chocolate from here for our wedding as wedding favors. The owners are very communicative throughout the ordering manufacturing process. When we picked up the order we were able to sample some sipping chocolate in the shop.
We also bought some tea in the shop as well as soap they sell. It's a very awesome, local store."
— Rose B, Seattle (via Yelp)
"The shop owner greeted us at the door, and was so nice and conversational that I wanted to pull a chair up to the retail counter and settle in for a chat. Surrounded by local, regional, and international treats from the finest confectioners, beautiful furniture (tables and counters made by the proprietor's husband, a couple of cool vintage estate pieces that are also for sale), and with a free sample of her sipping cocoa in hand, I merrily perused the offerings, trying to pick only a few. The hardest part was NOT finding something to buy. It was trying to decide what I had to leave behind. Not only did I find some gorgeous labels and wonderful chocolates for me, but I also bought a few as gifts. Now, if only I had room for that chair in my place…I'm looking forward to coming back for another chat and some more delectables."
— Vanessa J, Seattle (via Yelp)
Remember the chocolate river at Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory? Ya? Well Chocolat Vitale is like a coffee shop that serves chocolate from that river in many variations.
Super friendly owners that'll answer all your questions, make amazing recommendations, and throw together some amazingly chocolately concoctions! Some too sweet, some perfectly sweet, some with just the right amount of bite.
It's very easy to get carried away and literally get chocolate wasted here. As we consumed a handful of truffles and drank a few cups of chocolate hot drinks – we were all buzzing from the sugar high followed by a sugar crash a few hours later. But I love this place for it's simple yet sweet ambiance and owners!— Nam N., via Yelp
The drinking chocolate is amazing! You can get it as light or dark as you want. Also serve small batch roasted coffee. Excellent customer service. Very friendly and also knowledgeable about the products they sell! They also offer delicious chocolate bars in an affordable price range. I'm officially addicted!
— Amber B, via Yelp
"If you enjoy fine chocolates and tea then this is the shop for you. The european drinking chocolate is sublime! The friendly and knowledgeable staff can discuss the differences in flavor of Venezuelan verses Madagasar chocolate and are happy to let you sample :) I couldn't be happier with this new shop!"
— Emily C, Lynnwood (via Yelp)
I stumbled upon this place one day, and boy am I glad I did. I was hankering for a mocha, and the shop owner(?) asked me what kind of chocolate I like to eat to get an idea of which one of the mochas I would like the best–yes, there are several kinds! She nailed it. It was seriously the most delicious mocha I have ever had. It makes mochas at your standard chain coffee shops taste like absolute crap. These mochas are truly chocolate drinks with coffee. Not coffee with a bit of cocoa powder. If I could walk to this place I would be here every week. Try it!
— Nathalie T, via Yelp
The coffee there is really good. I like the Americano the best. The also have re-purposed furniture that is eclectic and retro looking decor. The person who runs the place seems to know a lot about chocolate and coffee. I will be back for sure.
— Audrey W, via Google+
Hands down – best hot chocolate I've ever had!! And what a fantastic little shop, very eclectic, with a little bit of everything from tea cups to gummy candies. There is an old brass cash register as well as other old art work that adds lush character to the shore. Along with the sweet smell of the brewing chocolate, you can't help but feel as though you're being whisked away to another time. A sweeter time…
And what an enjoyable time it is!!
— Angella H, via Yelp
"Received my package today and am enjoying a cup of drinking chocolate after a very rough day. I am in heaven! "
–Janet K, Ocoee FL
"Yummy drinkable chocolate and super gifts."
— Paula K, Seattle
Wonderful coffee, and even better chocolate. They change their coffee grind when the weather changes so that every cup is high quality.
— Ruth H, via Facebook
Thanks for making my holidays special with yummy chocolate! Have a very Happy Thanksgiving and a very merry Christmas!
— Jennifer W, Bellevue WA
A simple, eclectic, and appealing neighborhood shop and cafe. Inviting and kind owners, with a passion for fine foods–including chocolate. The place is cozy and comfortable, yet timelessly open and ageless. Go and support a great neighborhood business. Try the great drinking chocolate. Discover chocolate bars by artisan chocolate makers. I must return for lunch sometime and to try the house made chocolate truffles.— Earnie G., via Yelp
"Perhaps the tastiest cup of hot chocolate I've ever had."
— Jessi M, Seattle WA
This is a lovely place. They sell their own gourmet drinking chocolate and have specialty and small-batch chocolate from all kinds of interesting places. The owner was friendly and invited me to sample a no-sugar chocolate drink that we brainstormed together while I was looking around the shop. It's really nice to have this shop in the neighborhood. If you are a chocolate enthusiast you are in for a treat and will definitely learn something while you're there.
— Jennifer S, via Yelp
They have my favorite single origin chocolate brand, so what's not to love? They also serve drinking chocolate in a variety of darknesses, and will even make it vegan with non-dairy milk. Awesome!
— via Yelp
I love this stuff.
— Stephen E, Ft Collins CO
"Best cold chocolate in Seattle."
— Beckett M, Seattle
"As soon as I saw the contents I knew it was going to be great."
–Dan P, New York NY
Best chocolate selection and a true "feel good" place! Thank you Janet for making a wonderful destination in Ballard.
— Becky N, via Facebook
This place has the best espresso, drinking chocolates and sweets! We always stop here when we are in town and we can't get enough of the great decor, tasty drinks and snacks! They have great furniture and artwork from local artists for sale too. We just went into today and they now have a luncheonette menu. The sandwiches were delicious! Janet, the owner, is fantastic and passionate about everything she has in the shop so you know you are getting only the best!
— B.H., via Yelp
They make the BEST drinking chocolate (European Classic) I have ever had. Seriously, it will basically ruin all other hot/drinking chocolates for you, which is a grand and marvelous delight. Their Euro Classic is like drinking heavenly rich Chocolate goodness. The staff and owners are super friendly and the entire store has a surprising vibe to it with 1/2 selling chocolate and the other half selling various unique household knickknacks and decor items. Can't wait to go back for my pantry resupply of Euro Classic.
— Jeff A, via Yelp
Wonderful chocolates and education on them (admittedly the drinking chocolate is just not my thing, my friends loved it). Real passion to bring the best. We enjoyed a chocolate and wine pairing that was delish. Worth a visit.
— Gretchen M, Seattle, via Yelp
This place is one of a kind. The owner is generous with her time and knowledge of chocolate, and with that knowledge comes the best sipping chocolate in the city. She is able to tailor the sipping chocolate to your desired consistency, I personally love the dense consistency she's able to make for me. I've been to other cafes claiming to serve sipping chocolate, but the consistency is thinner, and the flavor weaker. She is a true chocolate connoisseur, serving the best our world has to offer from Bolivia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Dominican Republic, and even Vietnam! Truffles are unique and excellent…Not to be missed if you like chocolate.— Rachel S., via Google review
Love this place! From a casual stop by to get a yummy chocolate drink fix, or some scrumptious gifts, it always impresses. The owner is truly lovely and always makes the visit fun. I really enjoy the free samples and knowledge of local chocolatiers too.
— Kristel W, via Yelp
Great service from the owner. Found exactly what I was looking for, a small gift of chocolate for a congrats gift. Cool spot and great coffee.— Christopher L., via Yelp
"Visited Seattle last July. Loved Choclat Vitale–had to buy more! Could you send samples of other products?
Thank you! Happy New Year–Our resolution….drink more hot chocolate!"
–Rachel M, Livingston NJ
"Thanks for making such GREAT drinking chocolate! I have a cup every morning."
–Peggy F, Tequesta FL
Not easy to find but so worth it. Friendly staff make the BEST Drinking Chocolate ever, and just the way you like it. Four bucks a cup, and you get to pick the country where your chocolate is from. This is not the tepid mud water from that huge Seattle Corp. They have the real deal fair trade and all. Hungry, why yes we were, oh man the homemade biscuit sandwiches inexpensive and very tasty. Tell em MixMasterD sent you. Oh one last thing they have a fine collection of chocolate in bar form to take home. With the money you save get several.
Frequently a customer, never disappointed.— Scott F., via Google review
Delicious. A little bit of chocolate heaven. Chocolates from aroind the world plus a thick dark sipping chocolate. Hostess gracious.— Lind S., via Yelp
"Best hot chocolate I've ever had!"
– Susan K, Bainbridge, Island WA (mail order customer)
Gem of a chocolate shop. Good chocolate bars. Real liquid chocolate, not the chocolate scented milk other places serve. Nice wine, teas, coffee and treats to choose from. We will be back.
Amana K, San Francisco (via Yelp)
Always a treat to come here. The proprietress welcomes us and gives us little tastes of the chocolate. Her hot chocolate is rich and velvety, today topped with fresh whipped cream and raspberry sugar.— Rhenda M., via Yelp
BRAVO! Chocolate is the owner's passion and she is wonderful at sharing it with anyone who walks in the door. What truffles she hand crafts! She wisely controls the quality by making chocolates in small batches. I have never found anything disappointing about the products she makes and all those wonderful items from others that she also provides. She really finds some amazing things. The customer service is only surpassed by the sincerity of the proprietor and the outstanding quality of her product. Chocolat Vitale is a real gem for Ballard and Greenwood and our hands-down preferred source for the finest chocolates in Seattle.
– C.M., via Yelp
"Great Place! Enjoyed stopping by and checking it out, lots of great stuff."
— Zack R, Seattle
This place is a neighborhood gem. Best hot chocolate I've ever encountered, with so many varieties to choose from, and the owner and chef are so friendly and generous that every time I go I feel like I'm hanging out in an old friend's kitchen. Superb selection of artisan truffles and chocolate bars, wines, and a lovely fresh and simple lunch menu. My husband and I have made this a weekend ritual with our 4-year-old daughter and we discover something new and wonderful each time. Also a perfect place to buy gifts.— Jody R., via Yelp
Hands down the best drinking chocolate in town. Drinking chocolate is my vice so I'm very demanding! and I tried dozens of places in Seattle and the Eastside, I'm now a regular at Chocolat Vitale and there isn't one of my friends who tried it who wasn't impressed. Janet, the owner, also makes the place very welcoming, she has great creative flair for decorating so there is always something new…this place is a jewel in Seattle…
— Luz J, via Facebook
We expect to ship Venezuelan Black after December 2. It is on backorder due to a supplier issue. Dismiss

The following is an excerpt from a story in USA Today story outlining niche market camper builder SylvanSport's loss of sales due to Chinese "copycat" manufacturers. To read the entire story click here.
SylvanSport founder Thomas Dempsey learned last summer that a product similar to one he'd patented was being made in China when a customer sent him a link to a Chinese company's website.
On the website, Dempsey found a recreational camper trailer that looked eerily like the one he designed and patented and sells through his 8-year-old Brevard, N.C., company.
"We were shocked," says Dempsey. "We thought at first that what we saw was our product, but as we looked at some of the video and photography, we realized that this is tooled up from scratch."
It was the beginning of what would be a nightmare for any small-business owner. Since then, distributors in South Korea and Japan have opted to market the Chinese company's product instead of Dempsey's. A Japanese distributor mistakenly thought it was buying products from SylvanSport's Chinese factory, says Dempsey. Confused consumers have also e-mailed SylvanSport, asking about its affiliation with the Chinese product, owned by Wuyi Tiandi Motion Apparatus, a maker of dirt bikes and camping gear in Jinhua City in eastern China.
These problems have left the promising U.S. upstart, whose camper trailers retail for about $8,000, in a precarious position. While SylvanSport expects a "break-even" year, with sales around $3 million — more than double 2011's — business could suffer in coming years if distributors keep fleeing to the Chinese competitor, Dempsey says.
In 2011, SylvanSport got about 15% of its sales from outside the U.S. and about half of that from South Korea, Japan and Australia. Dempsey expects 30% of 2012 sales will be international.
"Our politicians, when they describe the companies that are necessary for the economic recovery, (they are talking about) companies like ours," he says. But because of SylvanSport's lost sales, "There's a very real chance that the Chinese company could be the survivor here and we could go out of business."
Legions of imitators
The "shanzai," or copycat, culture is thriving in China. A Google search for "shanzai China" produces references to Dolce & Banana, KFG fried chicken and the HiPhone, imitations of Dolce & Gabbana, KFC and the iPhone. You might even find a reference to the Goojje search site, whose logo once closely resembled Google's.
China isn't the first developing nation to struggle with a copycat business culture. Most nations — even the U.S. — faced the same issues during the last century, says Cai Jun, a professor in the industrial design department at Tsinghua University in Beijing. Developing nations imitate the more advanced technologies of other countries in order to learn, says Cai.
Yet in Asia, "The Western idea of intellectual property seems not yet fully established," says Peter Zec, the founder of the Red Dot Institute for Advanced Design Studies in Essen, Germany, and a former president of the International Council of Societies of Industrial Design.
The severe copycat problem in China and other Asian nations exposes foreign companies, big and small, to copyright, patent and trademark infringement issues, legal experts say.
China is the "factory to the world, so you're going to have good stuff produced and bad stuff produced," says Joseph Simone, a partner in the intellectual property practice group at the Baker & McKenzie law firm in Hong Kong.
In the past, it was "fairly common" for Chinese factories that produced legitimate products to be used at night to make counterfeit goods using the same raw materials, says Leon Perera, chief executive of Spire Research and Consulting, a Singapore firm that specializes in emerging markets. Today, what's more common is for Chinese companies to reverse engineer a product, or take it apart to figure out how it's made, then order parts to produce a similar product, according to Perera.
That's what Dempsey believes happened in his case.
He says that in late 2009, a man in the Los Angeles area ordered a SylvanSport GO, an 800-pound aluminum camping and travel trailer. The customer wanted the product shipped to China but insisted on arranging his own shipping. That raised a red flag, but "as a small business struggling to get going, every sale counted," Dempsey says.
SylvanSport describes the GO on its website as "more versatile than a Swiss army knife." It folds to a trailer that can be used to carry boats and bikes on top then converts to a camper with a self-inflating mattress and a tent that sets up in minutes.

I have a soft spot in my heart for the original "Clash of the Titans," because it was one of the first movies I ever saw. It also serves as the beginning and end to my personal knowledge of the classics. Most film buffs know the original "Clash of the Titans" was the final film to feature handmade creature effects from the great Ray Harryhausen. And there's no Kraken quite like a stop-motion Kraken.
A remake of "Clash" is being released this April by Warner Bros., and I'm genuinely intrigued by this. I loved Harryhausen's effects, but certainly it would be interesting to see Perseus' story retold using state of the art effects, and replacing Harry Hamlin with someone who can actually act (in this case, Sam Worthington). The trailer looks pretty cool, even though I don't remember anything about giant scorpions from the first movie. I was unaware that "Starship Troopers" was also based on Ovid's poetry.
But now, WB is taking their effects on this new "Clash" to a whole other level. Call it the "Avatar" effect. The studio is retrofitting the nearly finished movie to be released in digital 3D, and they only have ten weeks to do it. From Variety:
Warner Bros. announced Tuesday that it will convert "Clash of the Titans" and the first part of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" to stereoscopic 3D (S3D), kicking off a flurry of release-date shifts and solving a puzzle that had stumped Hollywood's tech community…
Prime Focus announced its View-D conversion process in September and promised it would be "exponentially faster" than anything else in the marketplace. Those claims will now be put to the test.
Chris Bond, who heads Prime Focus' View-D team, told Daily Variety, "We view this as a 10-week project." Work is already under way.
Ten weeks! Keep in mind that "Avatar" took five years to make. Will "Clash" be able to create the same immersive environment in a fraction of the time? Or is this studio excitement run amok? Regardless of whether or not the new "Clash" is any good (and it looks like solid entertainment), this will represent Hollywood's first attempt to try and duplicate the enormous 3D success of "Avatar."
U.S. & World
Testing on "Clash" has gone so well that WB has also decided to retool "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," which isn't due until November. The switches will cost the studio an extra $5 million per picture, plus another $5 million per film to theaters for 3D glasses and other expenses.
I hope "Clash" succeeds. Also, I hope they kept the mechanical owl.

Dried holy basil is used in a wide variety of Thai dishes. Holy basil dish basically consists of some kind of meat stir fried with a variety of vegetables, garlic, and a generous portion of holy basil. Not just yet, holy basil is also used in stews, entrees, even drink or desserts.
Not many place really use holy basil because it's hard to find and they don't last very long ( what they usually called stir fried mint leaf or basil). Just put in water about 3-5 minutes then refreshing up just as good as you used the fresh one. Net weight 50 g. Ingredient: Holy Basil Leaves. Product of Thailand.

Shooting and Passing the Puck in Ice Hockey
Obviously, if you don't score goals, you won't win the hockey game. Make sure you're passing and shooting the puck quickly and accurately to make the most of your hockey team's offense. Use these guidelines to help:
The younger the player, the shorter the pass.
Cradle the puck with your stick when you receive it.
Don't pass to the player; pass to where he or she is going. And try to put the puck on the blade of the recipient's stick.
Don't pass over two lines; that's against the rules, and the official will blow the whistle. Then he'll call a face-off, most likely in your defensive zone.
Whenever possible, keep your passes on the ice. But if you must elevate the puck to get it to your teammate, try to make it land flat on the ice so it's easier to receive.

"Pieces" a Ladies Night Out
By Lenae Simpson
CIU Student Writer
I was not in the mood to celebrate my femininity on a recent Tuesday night, but I had already agreed to go to "Pieces," Student Union's night of encouragement for on-campus women. Begrudgingly I resigned myself to dressing up and applying make-up -- there was no time for hair or nails. Clicking down the hall, I made my way to the lobby of the Fitness Center.
It was beautiful. Three tables were covered in cheesecake bites and brownies, cookies and sparkling grape juice. Icicle Christmas lights hung like a canopy, leaving just enough room for eight tables decorated with broken pieces of colored glass.
As young women trickled in, I couldn't help but notice their smiles and excited chatter. Though I did not know everyone, the atmosphere was inviting and relaxed. Before long, over 50 young women from campus were mingling and munching.
Student Union asked four well-respected, godly women from campus to address us young ladies. Each speaker had five (which really means around 10) minutes to share a Bible verse that was significant in her life. Debby Jones, the wife of CIU's president Dr. Bill Jones, shared Psalm 16:11.
You will make known to me the path of life;
In Your presence is fullness of joy;
In Your right hand there are pleasures forever.
This verse taught her to value her relationship with God as her first priority. Though it was easy to be distracted by young men while single, Mrs. Jones had learned to "date" God and find her "path of life ... fullness of joy ... [and] pleasures forever" in Him.
Anne Buck, administrative assistant to CIU Vice President Mickey Bowdon, began by boasting. I did not know who Mrs. Buck was, and I was surprised at her boldness. She likes herself, is loved by her children, and has been married for 27 years. She is healthy and loves people and grocery shopping. She even started a Christian magazine. I had no idea why she shared all this until she also shared her past: abandoned by three mothers, suffered severe trauma, attempted suicide. Her life had seemed hopeless, "but the Lord came and rescued me ... Everything I thought would never happen -- did -- all the blessings ... all God's promises have come true in my life." Her verse was Romans 8:18.
For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.
Dr. Anita Cooper, a CIU professor for 26 years, spoke next on John 14:18
I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.
Dr. Cooper believes this verse teaches the "single most important doctrine in Scripture." That is, God will not leave His people as orphans. He is our "Father," as Jesus called Him. In fact, the only time Jesus did not call Him "Father" was one time on the cross. Look it up. It is true. Because of what Christ did for us we can have an intimate relationship with God. We are his adopted children.
The last woman to speak was Donna Thompson -- the women's chaplain at CIU. She asked us to repeat, "You are a diamond. Glisten in the glory of God." Her verse was Proverbs 18:10
The name of the LORD is a strong tower;
The righteous runs into it and is safe.
Ms. Thompson spoke on God's care for us. Even when we go through difficult times, "the Creator God is the same personal, covenant-keeping God who will walk with you through whatever you go through."
The young women from Student Union prayed, thanked the speakers, and introduced the art project of the night. Every young woman was to take a piece of glass from their table and write an attribute of God which was precious to them on the glass (with a sharpie). Alex Dugas, a sophomore on Student Union, explained, "Alone, we are just one broken piece, but together we can make a beautiful mosaic." The mosaic will be put together and hung in a public place in the near future.
I left the event very glad that I had attended. I was indeed encouraged.

The imminent shut down of a key East Coast fuel refinery was averted earlier today when it was announced Carlyle Group would take over the plant.
According to the Wall Street Journal, the Sunoco plant outside Philadelphia processes 25 percent of the East Coast's fuel supply.
It was supposed to be shuttered last month.
Instead, Carlyle plans to invest more than $200 million to upgrade the plant's facilities and get them plugged into the country's newly abundant oil supply.
The Journal's Ryan Dezember and Jerry DiColo write that because the country's current pipeline system doesn't adequately serve East Coast refineries, they've had to pay more for more expensive, imported oil. Meanwhile, competitors on the Gulf Coast and Midwest, which are closer to domestic oil fields, save.
GasBuddy.com's Gregg Laskoski said the plant's closure "would have hurt the regional economy and reduced east coast gasoline supply at the same time."

Maj. James Coe says living in an environment without roads, bridges, traffic laws, a sanitation system or a power grid isn't as bad as one might think.
Coe, a logistics planner in the Army Contracting Command deputy chief of staff logistics G4, Redstone Arsenal, Ala., deployed to the African nation of South Sudan as part of the United Nations Mission in the Republic of South Sudan, or UNMISS.
According to the U.N. website, the birth of the Republic of South Sudan on July 9, 2011, was the culmination of a six-year peace process that began with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in 2005. The mission is to help the nation establish conditions for it to develop.
"It's been a month since my arrival in South Sudan and it's quite interesting and a good assignment," said Coe, a native of Mansfield, Ohio. "South Sudan is exactly what you might expect from an emerging African nation."
Upon his arrival, Coe was not surprised to see a struggling government that had a smaller military and saw an influx of foreign cash and contractors and environmental issues such as land mines from years of civil war.
In the UNMISS Joint Logistics Operations Center Plans section, Coe serves as the unit's logistics plans officer. He says his ACC job and his U.N. position are as different as night and day.
"On the surface, it seems like it would be the exact same thing. The two positions have some similarities and distinct differences," said Coe, a husband and father of four.
"The logistical planning and coordination aspects of each job are similar; however, the logistical support provided to contingency operating bases here is more heavily involved with the construction/engineering of facilities in support of the mission rather than the requisitioning/ accountability of equipment or the distribution of most classes of supply. It's all logistics, but definitely of a different variety of flavor here in South Sudan."
Previous deployments to Kuwait, Qatar and Afghanistan provided Coe with the experience of working in a joint environment and adapting to austere living conditions.
"Working on a U.N. staff is a drastically different experience than most assignments an average Army officer will ever have," Coe said. "It is a truly joint/international experience. Everyone in my section is from a different nation and either Army, Navy, Air Force or Marine. The cultural and service-specific differences are many so the challenge comes in how to effectively communicate with everyone without offending anyone, or misinterpreting messages or having any misunderstandings."
The language barrier, traditions and customs of numerous nations melting into one organization can sometimes prove very difficult, Coe said, but he relishes the opportunity to overcome any obstacle.
"In this environment a U.S. officer operates independent of U.S. forces," said Coe. "You are truly in the hands of bosses, usually from a nation other than your own, that you work for on the ground. It's a situation that most U.S. troops will never experience."
Work challenges aside, Coe said the deployment has given him the opportunity to visit a place he's dreamed of visiting, but also the chance to help make a big difference.
"I've always wanted to see Africa. Africa, in my mind, represents a great opportunity to help and assist in the development of another culture in need," he said. "As an American of African descent, it also represents the homeland neither I, my parents nor grandparents ever knew.
"I enjoy interacting with the Sudanese people in a lot of ways; experiencing their foods, speaking with them directly about their lives and experiences and observing their growth as a new nation. They are truly a beautiful culture and a very positive, upbeat group of people despite the problems their nation has faced over the years," he said.

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc now runs its largest U.S. data center entirely on renewable energy, with a majority of the power generated on-site from solar panels and fuel cells, the company's chief financial officer, Peter Oppenheimer, said on Thursday.
The data center in Maiden, North Carolina, which supports Internet storage and Apple's service-hosting iCloud product, produces 167 million kilowatts — the power equivalent of 17,600 homes for one year — from a 100-acre solar farm and fuel cell installations provided by Silicon Valley startup Bloom Energy.
They are the largest, non-utility power-generating facilities of their kind in the United States, Oppenheimer told Reuters.
"We switched over to these new energy sources in December," he said. "And we are committed to generating 60 percent of the electricity that the data center will use by making power on site. We are now achieving that goal."
Apple purchases the rest of the green power needed at the facility.
Apple and other technology companies — such as Amazon and Microsoft — that build and run computer server farms have come under criticism for their high consumption of electricity and other resources. These data centers cater to an explosion in Internet traffic, streaming content through mobile devices and hosting of services to corporations.
Apple has switched many of its corporate facilities to fully operate on green power, including those in Austin, Texas; Cork, Ireland; and Sacramento, California, Oppenheimer said.
The company is building another 20-megawatt solar farm at its Maiden facility with solar panels supplied by SunPower Corp.
Overall, Apple said it has increased the proportion of renewable energy used throughout the company to 75 percent. Eventually, the company aims to use only renewable energy at all its facilities around the world.

2009 Dodge Grand Caravan Reviews and Ratings
Grand Caravan SXT 3.8L
Expert Reviews
The Dodge Grand Caravan is still fresh from a complete redesign for 2008, and for 2009 the Grand Caravan gets more safety features.
The Grand Caravan is all about transporting people comfortably and safely, while keeping them entertained. Its designers focused on interior creature comforts, and they succeeded. As part of that focus, Dodge has made its Stow 'n Go seating standard. Stow 'n Go has bins behind the first row that can be used to fold the second-row seats into the floor. When the seats are up, the bins can accommodate toys, games and other cargo.
You can get Swivel 'n Go seating with second-row chairs that swivel to the rear and a table that pops up between those buckets and the third-row bench. You can get a video system with one or two rear screens, wireless headphones, and remote control. You can plug in your laptop. You can press buttons on the ceiling and watch in awe, or amusement, as the side doors and liftgate flip open and closed. You can download you music to a hard-drive radio. Or you can fold down all the seats, and haul a stack of plywood or a load of hay.
The Grand Caravan's suspension delivers a nice, smooth ride, though it can sometimes wallow. It's more about comfort and safety than carlike precision. Electronic stability control is standard, and the Grand Caravan has performed well in government crash tests. The handling is a bit cumbersome, not surprising given the Grand Caravan's size. It doesn't go around corners as well as the Honda Odyssey and Nissan Quest do. It leans in hard turns, so drivers will have to be careful not to upset whatever activities are going on in back.
Three V6 engines are available, including a 4.0-liter 250-horsepower V6 added for 2008. We found the base 3.3-liter engine can struggle with freeway on-ramps. The 3.8-liter engine is acceptable, though we prefer the 4.0-liter V6 introduced for 2008. The top engines from Toyota, Nissan and Honda offer more power and response.
But a minivan isn't about speed and handling. The Grand Caravan's unique cargo and entertainment features give it a competitive advantage in the minivan class. Families will like it, especially because those entertainment features will make for peaceful family trips.
The 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan SE ($23,530) comes with a 175-horsepower 3.3-liter overhead-valve V6 mated to a four-speed automatic transaxle. Seating is two-two-three, with Stow 'n Go (second- and third-row seats fold flat, into the floor) standard. Also standard on the SE are cloth upholstery, air conditioning, tilt steering wheel, cruise control, heated power mirrors, power windows and locks, remote keyless entry, four-speaker AM/FM/CD stereo, conversation mirror, and P225/65R16 tires on steel wheels with wheel covers. Options exclusive to the SE start with Quick Order Package 24G ($1770) with tri-zone manual climate controls (including rear controls), tachometer, trip computer, outside-temperature indicator, compass, and alloy wheels. The tri-zone manual climate controls are offered separately in a Climate Group ($995). The Popular Equipment Group ($1495) adds power-adjustable pedals, power-sliding rear doors, and a power rear liftgate. UConnect Tunes ($725) comes with a 30-gigabyte hard-drive radio, six-disc CD changer, two additional speakers, and a USB connection. An Entertainment Group ($1395) includes a rear DVD entertainment system with a single nine-inch screen and Sirius satellite radio. A roof rack is also offered ($250).
Grand Caravan SXT ($27,825) uses a 197-hp 3.8-liter overhead-valve V6 with a six-speed transaxle. SXT equipment includes three-zone manual climate control with rear-seat controls, leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, eight-way power driver's seat with lumbar adjustment, power-adjustable pedals, power sliding rear doors, Sirius satellite radio, trip computer, compass, outside-temperature indicator, universal garage door opener, illuminated visor mirrors, 115-volt power outlet, fog lights, roof rack, overhead storage, pinpoint LED lighting, and alloy wheels. The 250-hp 4.0-liter V6 ($630) is optional. Other SXT options include Quick Order Package 28L ($2365) with leather upholstery, heated first and second-row seats, power passenger seat, power rear liftgate, vehicle information center, additional interior lights, rechargeable/removable flashlight, bright bodyside moldings, sport suspension, and P225/65R17 tires. The Premium Group ($1995) includes tri-zone automatic climate controls (including rear controls), third-row power-folding seat, nine-speaker 506-watt Infinity audio system, UConnect Phone wireless link, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and rain-sensing wipers. The Security Group ($1425) adds rear-obstacle detection, Dodge's new Rear Cross Path and Blind Spot Monitoring systems, UConnect Phone, auto-dimming rearview mirror, and automatic headlights. The Family Value Group ($695) includes a removable center console, sunshades for second and third row, and remote engine starting. The SXT Entertainment Group 2 ($2200) comes with a rear DVD entertainment system with two nine-inch rear screens, a six-disc CD changer, USB connection, UConnect Tunes, and a rearview camera. UConnect Tunes ($675) is available as a standalone option. UConnect GPS ($1300) includes UConnect Tunes, plus a navigation system with voice activation and real-time traffic, rearview camera, six-disc CD changer, Sirius satellite radio, UConnect Phone, and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. With rear DVD entertainment, customers can order Sirius Backseat TV ($495). Other SXT options include a Trailer Towing package ($600) with heavy-duty engine and transmission cooling, load-leveling suspension, and a trailer-wiring harness; a sunroof ($895), a power rear liftgate ($400); and heated first- and second-row seats ($500).
Options available for both models include Swivel 'n Go seating ($495) with swiveling second-row bucket seats and a removable table; a Mopar Exterior Appearance Group ($937) with special floor mats, mud guards, bright door sills, and running boards; second-row integrated child seats ($225); running boards ($700), and an engine-block heater ($35).
Safety features that come standard on all models include dual front airbags, all-row curtain side airbags, tire-pressure monitor, four-wheel-disc ABS with brake assist, traction control, and electronic stability control. Front side airbags are not available. Optional safety features include a rearview camera, rear obstacle detection, and the new Rear Cross Path and Blind Spot Monitoring systems. The Grand Caravan received five-star front and side crash ratings and four stars in rollover ratings from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
A minivan is not a stone that lends itself to sculpture. A description of the overall shape of this newest generation of the Dodge Grand Caravan wouldn't sound too much different from a description of the 1982 model. People don't buy minivans so others will look and say, "That's the new minivan. Some styling!"
The Dodge Grand Caravan is boxy, but it's attractive in an SUV kind of way. The hood is less fairly flat, and it bears character lines. The grille is very upright, making the Dodge crosshair grille look like that of a Dodge truck, especially in chrome. Just the thing to encourage that pokey driver in front of you to get out of the way.
Sixteen-inch wheels are standard. They're boring looking, but the optional five-spoke 17s look better.
Dodge now offers only the long-wheelbase Grand Caravan. The short wheelbase Caravan was dropped with the 2008 redesign. All of them are now Grand.
The Grand Caravan is the second largest minivan on the market, smaller than only the Nissan Quest. These comparisons are relatively unimportant, however, because the other minivans are within an inch or two of the Grand Caravan in both wheelbase and overall length. The Grand Caravan is a big vehicle, with a 202.5-inch overall length and a 121.2-inch wheelbase.
The Dodge Grand Caravan leads the minivan field when it comes to interior convenience, capability and versatility. Chrysler has been working to give its minivans a competitive advantage in these areas for a long time, and they haven't been afraid to be creative.
The interior materials are lackluster, however. Hollow hard plastic dominates the dash and door panels. Everything fits together well, but it doesn't make for a luxurious look and feel. Yet options quickly add to the price.
Our Grand Caravan SE came with stain-resistant fabric for the seats, designed for the soccer-mom lifestyle. We quite liked the look and feel. The black vinyl trim and satin aluminum-look plastic didn't look rich, but nor was it ugly. These fabrics can be easy to clean, however, dog hair still has a way of sticking into them, so those who haul canines are probably better off with leather.
The Grand Caravan is designed well for hauling youngsters with some thoughtful features. Among them is the convex "conversation mirror," which might also be called the "looking at your kids while you're yelling at them without having to turn around mirror. We like this feature.
We had six 10-year-old soccer players test the Grand Caravan's video player during a 90-minute drive to the game, and they liked it. The DVD was a snap to play, which is important because some of them, even those in much more expensive vehicles, are not easy to use. Plug in the DVD, press Play, and you have a miracle: It works. The screen drops down from the ceiling and the viewing begins. It comes with wireless headphones. It has jacks to plug in video game systems. It's available with Sirius Backseat TV, which comes with three kid-friendly channels: Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, and Nickelodeon. When the DVD screen is deployed, the driver loses some visibility in the rearview mirror so more attention needs to be paid to the side mirrors.
The dual-DVD entertainment system is even more impressive. With the two-screen system, third-row passengers can watch one thing and second-row passengers can watch (or play) another. Plus, video can be shown on the front touchscreen (which comes with both UConnect Tunes and UConnect GPS) when the vehicle is in Park, for viewing by the driver and front-seat passenger.
We liked the UConnect systems, as well. Both come with a hard-drive radio with 30 gigabytes of storage space to hold music and picture files. UConnect GPS adds a navigation system with voice activation and real-time traffic provided by Sirius. Songs can be ripped from CDs, and music and pictures can also be downloaded from thumb drives via a standard USB port. The hard drive is a great way to have ready access to your music collection without toting around a bunch of CDs.
The Grand Caravan's second-row bucket seats slide rearward to ease access to the third row, so there's less fighting and yelling about stepped-on feet. Or they flop forward with one lever. Don't get your foot caught on the seatbelt or you might end up face-down on the rear bench. You will want the available LED pinpoint lighting for back there, for your children to read by so they don't fight or bug you while you're driving.
Stow 'n Go works superbly well. For a fairly simple invention, it's a masterpiece. In just a minute or so, and without having to refer to the manual, we dropped the second- and third-row seats flat into the floor. We put them away manually, though a power option is available for the third-row bench. We unloaded the kids, then stopped at the furniture store to pick up a long leather couch. We converted the Grand Caravan from soccer bus to cargo van in 60 seconds, and easily carted the couch home.
The Swivel 'n Go seating option is another great development from Chrysler. It comes with second-row seats that rotate 180 degrees and a stowable table that fits between the second and third rows. The seats are easy to turn (once you figure them out), and the table stows away easy enough. Best of all, if you have kids that can get along (at least for a while), they can play games on road trips.
The overall interior volume in the Grand Caravan isn't class-leading, the competition offers more legroom, but all of these minivans are big inside and the Grand Caravan is comfortable for kids. Both rear rows are big enough for adults.
Up front, the instrumentation is good, black on light gray lettering, with big divisions so you can read each 5 mph. Our option package included a digital information display (it showed an average of 19.1 miles per gallon for one week of city and highway driving), but the button to change the information is in a terrible position, most easily (but treacherously) reached by your left hand through the three-spoke leather steering wheel. Otherwise you have to lean forward, reach around the wiper stalk, and fumble for it, which isn't a whole lot safer. Other information includes distance to empty (about 400 miles on a tank of gas), compass, outside temperature, and estimated time to destination.
A leather-wrapped shift lever sticks out just to the left of the center stack, an efficient location. The automatic transmission offers a manual-shift feature allowing the driver more control. There isn't much need for manual shifting with this relaxed cruiser of a vehicle, but the sturdy, well-placed lever may encourage this in certain situations.
The sloped A-pillars allow good visibility, but the longer hood in the redesigned Grand Caravan means the driver sits back a bit farther from the front bumper, so it's harder to gauge when parking.
The center console is removable, which is good; but when it's fully attached it feels loose. We lost count of all the storage cubbies and cupholders. Dodge has outdone itself in this area. The driver and front-seat passenger can each drink four drinks at once (or store empties). Front-seat occupants will never be lacking for a place to put stuff of all sizes and shapes. We're talking bins under the second-row seats, compartments in the floor, and an umbrella holder.
Fifteen hundred dollars is a lot to spend for the convenience of not having to physically slide your minivan's side doors (there are two of them, by the way), or lift the liftgate, but it might be worth it, maybe especially the liftgate. Minivan owners tend to have full, busy lives, and small conveniences like having the power tailgate raise as you walk up with your arms full can be worth a million bucks. The buttons are located on the headliner between the front seats, and using them imparts a wonderful sense of power. It makes you look cool to your kids, too. Everything is controlled by you. Your assault vehicle awaits your command.
Minivans tend to generate pages of notes on the interior but little driving impressions. The Dodge Grand Caravan is a transporting machine, not a driving one. The main thing is, on the road, it's safe and stable. Electronic stability control is standard, and it activates fairly early, minimizing wheelspin and reducing the chance of a spin.
Our SE had the smallest of the three engines, the 3.3-liter V6 making 175 horsepower at 5000 rpm and 205 pound-feet of torque at 4000 rpm. For the way we drove it during our week, which we believe is the way most Grand Caravan owners drive, it offered enough acceleration and speed, though it struggled to merge with freeway traffic. The 3.3-liter can be fueled with E85, an ethanol mix.
The 3.3-liter engine comes with a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. We found it shifted smoothly and wasn't overworked by our suburban demands. Theoretically, more speeds than four is better, but it depends on the programming; in some cases, more speeds means more snatches or rough spots. In any case, we found the four-speed automatic worked well and did not hunt for gears.
Theoretically, a manual mode allows smoother transitions because the driver can choose when he or she wants to shift. Our four-speed had Dodge's AutoStick manual shift capability, controlled by reaching toward the center stack and notching the shift lever from side to side. But we found little need or occasion to use it, because minivan driving occasions demand less sporty performance. However, with more miles and more demands, we might change our tune. Chrysler invented the manual mode about 10 years ago, and it's good to have. Holding a gear in hilly terrain or sluggish traffic or in tight quarters is sometimes advantageous.
The SXT offers higher performance with its 3.8-liter V6 making 197 horsepower or the aluminum overhead-cam 4.0-liter V6 making a big 250 hp. These engines only get one less mile per gallon than the 3.3-liter, so they should be seriously considered. All of these engines run on 87 octane Regular gas, a nice advantage over engines that demand more-expensive Premium. The 3.8-liter and 4.0-liter engines use a six-speed transaxle, compared to the four-speed in the 3.3-liter.
During our test drives of SXT models with the 3.8-liter and 4.0-liter engines we found that 3.8-liter offers more useable power than the 3.3, but we'd recommend the 4.0. The 4.0-liter engine is close in power to the best engines offered by Honda, Nissan, and Toyota. The six-speed transmission that comes with the larger V6s can sometimes hunt for gears, but it helps both of these larger engines get decent fuel economy.
Suspension-wise, the Grand Caravan has rear coil springs and a twist-beam rear axle with a track bar. (A Trailer Tow Package includes self-leveling shock absorbers.) In other words, it's not an independent rear suspension. Despite being less sophisticated than other minivans, the ride is good. Our SE didn't bounce or strike any notes of discomfort, during three hours with six kids in the back, and more hours driving alone over freeway and city streets. The only demerit is a bit of wallow at speed.
Handling, on the other hand, isn't impressive. The Grand Caravan is large and it handles like a large vehicle. It leans a lot in turns and takes awhile to react to changes of direction. The Honda Odyssey and Nissan Quest are more carlike on the road.
The brakes are plenty big, though a braking test conducted by Car and Driver magazine suggested the Grand Caravan doesn't offer the shortest braking distances.
We've tested Dodge's two new safety systems for 2009. The new Blind Spot Monitoring system uses radar sensors to detect vehicles in the van's blind spots and warns the driver with lights in the side mirrors or a driver-selectable chime that sounds like the seat belt chime. We found it worked well, but like similar systems offered by other manufacturers it can sometimes give false readings. It's still important to look before you change lanes.
The new Rear Cross Path system is activated when the van is in reverse. It uses radar sensors to detect vehicles crossing behind the Grand Caravan and warns the driver with lights in the side mirrors and that same chime. The system won't detect small objects, like pedestrians, so it's still important to proceed slowly. It does, however, detect vehicles up to 20 meters away, and is programmed to recognize the speed of oncoming vehicles and alert the driver only if they are traveling at a speed that could lead to an accident (in other words, stationary and very slow moving vehicles probably won't register). We like this system. It works well and is especially useful in crowded parking lots.
The Dodge Grand Caravan offers unmatched versatility. The 3.3-liter V6 with 175 horsepower is fine, while the optional 3.8-liter and 4.0-liter engines make more power with almost the same fuel mileage. The ride is smooth, but handling is decidedly minivan. It's inside where the Grand Caravan leaps high hurdles. Flexible seating, lots of storage space, good lighting, and impressive entertainment options can upgrade your lifestyle, at least while underway. In terms of versatility, the Stow 'n Go seats that disappear into the floor for carrying cargo are hard to beat.

Women's Houston Texans #41 Zach Cunningham Navy Blue Name & Number Logo Pullover Hoodie FootballIn Stock
Houston Texans can't be eliminated from the playoff race this week
The Houston Texans now are climbing a steep hill in the AFC and they sit at 6-6, but they can't be eliminated from the playoff race in Week 14. Here are the reasons:
If the Texans lose to the Pittsburgh Steelers this week, they will fall to 6-7 and the best possible record would be 9-7. In that case, the Texans' record in the AFC would be 6-6.
Now in the conference, the Denver Broncos hold the sixth and final playoff spot. If the Brncons win this weekend, they will rise to 9-4. If they lost the last three games, they would fall to 9-7 and their AFC record would be just like Houston, 6-6. From there, the two teams would move to record vs. common opponents.
Both the Texans and the Broncos face the four teams - the Raiders, Patriots, Bengals, and Jaguars. Houston is 3-2 in those games while Denver would be 2-3 in the given scenario after losing to two of those teams over the last three weeks. That gives the Texans the tiebreaker.

Not all fears can be conquered.
That was the lesson Kendra Wilkinson learned during Tuesday's episode of ABC's new reality series "Splash," the diving equivalent of "Dancing With the Stars."
Because of her intense fear of heights, the Playboy playmate refused to dive, eliminating her from the competition.

"Splash's" big ratings and 5 other unlikely reality-TV hits
"I'm so sorry, everybody," Wilkinson said when she was unable to dive from the 23-foot-high platform. "This is the first time in my life I've quit something. This will haunt me for the rest of my life."
Wilkinson was paired with extreme skier Rory Bushfield during the episode, which presented the celebs with a synchronized diving challenge. Prior to Wilkinson's inability to dive from the board, Bushfield was advised by doctors not to compete after he ruptured an eardrum in practice.
"I start spinning, I start wanting to throw up, I'm shaking, my fingers wiggle," the reality-TV star recently told E! News' Terrence Jenkins about her fear of heights. "It's ilke a real thing, when my fingers wiggle--that's, like, a truth."

Graphics Cards Guide
- ‹ Prev
- Next ›
Looking into our extremely unreliable crystal ball, we see much hope tainted with just a hint of desperation for ATI. The beginning of another year may yet herald an upturn in fortune for the Canadian chipmaker. Since its less than successful launch of its newest Radeon X1000 series of graphics cards, ATI has not exactly flooded the market with its new cards until recently. Despite a staggered release date, some of the higher end models were relatively in short supply and its performance was quickly surpassed by the even rarer but powerful NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GTX 512MB. Luckily for the Radeon X1000 series, NVIDIA's kingpin is even today grossly expensive and rare. By the closing phase of 2005, retail availability of ATI's new graphics cards shot up drastically while the flagship Radeon X1800 XT unofficially became the fastest mass available graphics card in the market. Even so, ATI is in the works to release a revision to succeed the Radeon X1800 XT - the Radeon X1900 XT. Supposedly better equipped to tackle NVIDIA's top-end, we would have to wait till it arrives to see if it is up to snuff, but then again lies the question of when that would make it to retail, which by now everyone is well aware of ATI's launch patterns.
As for the Radeon X1800 XT 512MB, they are no longer that hard to find so today we have finally assembled quite a few of them from various brands. Hence for the next few days, we will be going through the merits and demerits, if any, of these cards. First up, in alphabetical order, we have the ASUS EAX1800XT TOP, a beast among the Radeon X1800 XT cards. Overclocked to the extreme of ATI's approved limits, this card features a unique cooler and for the first time ever, its very own external power adaptor. Here are its technical specifications:

I can type
feature-request -status-declined -status-bydesign -status-completed on the address line once I'm there, but is there no easier way? Statuses are a special concept and really only apply to things like feature and bugs. And it would be nice to easily switch between statuses when looking at these tags.
- I don't generally want to see declined features, when I'm looking at features to see what's in the wind.
- But if a feature occurs to me, I don't want to pester the developers with a request that they've already said no to as a concept. So being able to see declined features is a good thing here.
(I've recently dealt with a similar thing in one of my projects: general tagging scheme vs. an evolving specialized concept getting dumped into the GTS--which oddly enough was a sort of status. So I can appreciate the evolving case.)
- I have them in my ignore tags.
UPDATE: I edited this whole post based on Jeff Atwood's clarification.

Yes, you want to eat better. But a complete dietary overhaul seems like a full-time job -- one you just don't have the energy to take on. Instead, replace a few key items with healthier options, and focus on what you're adding to your diet -- not on what you're losing.
Baked, roasted, or mashed, sweet potatoes offer all the comfort-food satisfaction of white potatoes -- but with much more nutrition. One medium sweet potato delivers more than a day's worth of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), plus 57 percent more fiber and 55 percent more vitamin C than white potatoes. Rich and moist, they taste great -- even without loads of butter or sour cream.
You know that iceberg lettuce is no nutritional star, but you love its crunch in salads, sandwiches, and tacos. Next time you shop, reach for romaine lettuce instead. It has the same crisp texture as iceberg but more than three times the folate and seven times the vitamin A, as well as more potassium and vitamins C and K. Like other leafy greens, romaine is rich in carotenoids, which studies show may inhibit the growth of certain cancers.
You can reduce your risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and weight gain by eating more whole grains. A good rule of thumb is to make at least half your grains whole.
For baking, keep a container of whole-wheat flour next to your all-purpose flour and use equal amounts of each.You'll get almost three times the fiber, as well as important antioxidants.
Try the swap and see what you think; if you don't like the results, consider white whole-wheat flour, which offers the same benefits but is made from a milder-tasting variety of wheat.
Plain whole-milk yogurt may sound like an indulgence, but compared with sour cream, it's downright spartan. Cup for cup, whole-milk yogurt has less than half the calories and one-third the total and saturated fat of reduced-fat sour cream, yet it boasts 16 percent more calcium. Use it in baked goods, dips, and as a garnish instead of sour cream. Stick with whole-milk versus low-fat or fat-free yogurt; you won't feel like you're sacrificing flavor for health. Just don't go overboard (think teaspoon, not ladle).

Oregon Primate Rescue founder Polly Schultz works with a cynomolgus monkey who demonstrates self awareness by recognizing her own mirror image.
Annie is a 4-year-old cynomolgus monkey who was born in a captive breeding facility. Her mother died while giving birth, so Annie was isolated from other monkeys and fed mechanically for the first five months of her life. During this time, she was rarely touched and received little, if any, nurturing. The breeding program may have focused on producing a smaller monkey breed known as the "Pocket Java," since Annie has a very small bone structure. This breed often encounters an array of health issues, which may be attributed to the inbreeding process used to reduce their natural size.
The breeder did not know how to deal with Annie's problems, so she was shipped to our rescue facility when she was 5 months old. She also exhibits multiple abnormal behaviors, including pulling and eating her own hair. Annie goes beyond "aggressive" and seems to hate all other monkeys to whom she has been exposed. Likewise, other monkeys despise her and would probably kill her due to her small size, combined with her inappropriate combative behaviors. Therefore, she is housed without a conspecific companion. A psychologist who observes Annie's behaviors said if Annie were a human child, she would diagnose her with high-functioning autism.
I spend much of my time working with Annie, and her extensive enrichment program involves a great deal of creativity. She frequently observes me applying makeup, combing my hair and doing other activities in front of the mirror. When I first introduced Annie to the mirror, tried to "kill" her image. I would briefly disapprove of her behavior using vocal and facial expressions, and then quickly make play faces and friendly vocalizations to her image in the mirror. When she stopped acting like a bully, I would then playfully interact with her along with her image.
A few months ago, I first noticed Annie looking in the mirror and examining her own teeth. She used her finger to pull her lip down to get a better look at them, with her face close to the mirror. Annie noticed a small piece of raisin stuck to her tooth and used the mirror to direct her fingers to remove it. She did not reach to the raisin image in the mirror; she reached to the raisin piece stuck to her tooth and removed it as she looked in the mirror.
We put a red dot on Annie's forehead recently while she was anesthetized for medical procedures, and then later took her to the mirror.
She moved her face very close to the mirror and looked at the dot for some time. Then she reached up to the dot on her forehead while still looking in the mirror and tried to groom it off. A few days ago, I quickly stuck a small white paper dot to the top of Annie's head while we were playing together, and she did not notice it. At the mirror once again, she saw the white dot and removed it. Later in the day, we were at the mirror again, and I observed her searching the top of her head using the mirror. She appeared to be looking for another dot!
I have made progress in changing Annie's mood from "rage and anger" to "playful and silly" under various circumstances by not responding with an aggressive or submissive reaction to her behaviors. I ignore her and engage only in a playful way with other creatures or objects, and I maintain that behavior until she joins me. Annie's negative behaviors are slowly changing, and my hope is that someday I will find the right match for her and be able to house her successfully with another monkey.
