A Vans Aloha Authentic Vintage Aloha Vans Authentic Authentic Vintage Vintage Vans statistic (singular) or sample statistic is a single measure of some attribute of a sample (e.g. its arithmetic mean value). It is calculated by applying a function (statistical algorithm) to the values of the items of the sample, which are known together as a set of data.
More formally, statistical theory defines a statistic as a function of a sample where the function itself is independent of the sample's distribution; that is, the function can be stated before realization of the data. The term statistic is used both for the function and for the value of the function on a given sample.
A statistic is distinct from a statistical parameter, which is not computable, because often the population is too large to examine and measure all its items. However, a statistic, when used to estimate a population parameter, is called an estimator. For instance, the sample mean is a statistic that estimates the population mean, which is a parameter.
When a statistic (a function) is being used for a specific purpose, it may be referred to by a name indicating its purpose: in descriptive statistics, a descriptive statistic is used to describe the data; in estimation theory, an estimator is used to estimate a parameter of the distribution (population); in statistical hypothesis testing, a test statistic is used to test a hypothesis. However, a single statistic can be used for multiple purposes – for example the sample mean can be used to describe a data set, to estimate the population mean, or to test a hypothesis.
In calculating the arithmetic mean of a sample, for example, the algorithm works by summing all the data values observed in the sample and then dividing this sum by the number of data items. This single measure, the mean of the sample, is called a statistic; its value is frequently used as an estimate of the mean value of all items comprising the population from which the sample is drawn. The population mean is also a single measure; however, it is not called a statistic, because it is not obtained from a sample; instead it is called a population parameter, because it is obtained from the whole population.
Other examples of statistics include
- Sample mean discussed in the example above and sample median
- Sample variance and sample standard deviation
- Sample Mule Sela Women's Mediterranean Blue Sarto Franco qE7w0tn besides the median, e.g., quartiles and percentiles
- Test statistics, such as t statistics, chi-squared statistics, f statistics
- Order statistics, including sample maximum and minimum
- Sample moments and functions thereof, including kurtosis and skewness
- Various functionals of the empirical distribution function
Authentic Vans Vintage Vans Authentic Vintage Vans Authentic Aloha Aloha Vintage Properties[edit]
A statistic is an observable random variable, which differentiates it both from a parameter that is a generally unobservable quantity describing a property of a statistical population, and from an unobservable random variable, such as the difference between an observed measurement and a population average. A parameter can only be computed exactly if entire population can be observed without error; for instance, in a perfect census or for a population of standardized test takers.
Statisticians often contemplate a parameterized family of probability distributions, any member of which could be the distribution of some measurable aspect of each member of a population, from which a sample is drawn randomly. For example, the parameter may be the average height of 25-year-old men in North America. The height of the members of a sample of 100 such men are measured; the average of those 100 numbers is a statistic. The average of the heights of all members of the population is not a statistic unless that has somehow also been ascertained (such as by measuring every member of the population). The average height that would be calculated using all of the individual heights of all 25-year-old North American men is a parameter, and not a statistic.
Statistical properties[edit]
Important potential properties of statistics include completeness, Dr Ns Ashridge Black Martens Women's awrqav, sufficiency, unbiasedness, minimum mean square error, low variance, robustness, and computational convenience.
Information of a statistic[edit]
Information of a statistic on model parameters can be defined in several ways. The most common is the Fisher information, which is defined on the statistic model induced by the statistic. Kullback information measure can also be used.

The reason for so many road games was that some of the games postponed earlier in the season were made up as double headers. The Saints played doubleheaders at St. Peter and Waseca, played three tournament games at JCC and capped off the week against defending state champ New Ulm.
The April snow days have backed up a bunch of games for Saints teams. One of the hardest hit teams being the softball team.
In six days last week the Saints played eight games with all of them on the road.
This young Saints team had a week of Softball baptism going 1-7.
Softball Head Coach Steve Chapin said, "The challenge is that we have not had much time to practice the skills we want to improve on.
"Playing on the road is always tougher than playing at home. These kids have held up really well."
The reason for so many road games was that some of the games postponed earlier in the season were made up as double headers. The Saints played doubleheaders at St. Peter and Waseca, played three tournament games at JCC and capped off the week against defending state champ New Ulm.
Two girls threw all of the games for the Saints. It was either Emily Bottem or Julia Beckius throwing for SJA. That's a lot of innings in just a few days.
The head coach said, "Pitchers are learning about endurance and control and have done a great job of holding up."
SJA started the stretch with a doubleheader loss at St. Peter. The Saints lost 15-1 and 6-0. SJA had two hits in each game. Bottem got a hit in each game.
The Saints played at a planned tournament on Saturday. They dropped another game to St. Peter, one to Jackson County Central and beat Blue Earth Area 10-0.
In the loss to JCC Bottem went 3-3 at the plate with a triple. Beckius was 1-2 with a RBI and Acacia Foss was 1-3 with a RBI.
Emily Bottem threw a complete game win giving up only two hits against BEA. Lindzey Hanson had a big game at the plate. She went 3-3 with a double, a homer and three RBIs. Anna Haler went 2-3 with a homer and four RBIs.
St. Peter continued to have the Saints number as they beat SJA 9-3 on Saturday. Julia Beckius collected two of the teams 3 hits with 1 of them being a home run. She also drove in all three runs.
On Monday the Saints played a doubleheader at Waseca. The girls lost to the Bluejays 6-1 and 11-1. The girls managed sevens hits in the two games. Bottem and Hanson got one hit in each game.
The Saints closed out this brutal road stretch by traveling up to New Ulm and taking on the defending state champion Eagles. Not an easy way to finish a stretch like this and the Saints fell 10-0.
Anna Haler was the only Saint to get a hit. She got a single leading off the second inning.
Emily Bottem started and took the loss.
As the headline says, SJA plays at home on Thursday night against BEA. The Saints beat the Bucs 10 zip on Saturday, so this one could fall into the Saints win column. Coach Chapin said, "It will be really nice to come home on Thursday evening."
This game is the only scheduled home event for any SJA team next week. Incredibly, this hyper-shortened spring sports season is beginning to come to a close for all the SJA teams as state tournament games, meets, and matches get under way next week.

Three things crossed my mind during the end credits to the remake of Brian De Palma�s 1976 adaptation of Stephen King�s book �Carrie�: a memory of Gus Van Sant�s 1998 remake of �Psycho,� the phrase �What for?� and a strong belief that this version�s director, Kimberly Peirce, blew the ending.
�Psycho� was boasted of as being a frame-for-frame remake of the Hitchcock classic, and it actually was. And though this �Carrie� isn�t exactly a frame-for-framer, it�s close enough to tie right into that second thought: What for? Why remake a movie without adding anything new or improved? Both films took King�s book about a terribly shy loner of a girl, raised by a single mom who is so twisted by her religious beliefs she�s sure that everybody but her and her daughter is one, big collective devil.
Carrie (Chloe Grace Moretz) and her mom Margaret (Julianne Moore) are nice pieces of acting, but a lot of people saw the first film, and there will be comparisons. Moretz doesn�t appear to be quite as haunted as Sissy Spacek did the first time around, nor does Moore seem quite as seriously whacked as Piper Laurie. Both are damaged goods, but Mom almost revels in that fact, while Carrie � the object of ridicule and scorn in her senior year in high school, and likely for many years before � is desperate to be thought of as �normal.� Normalcy, of course, shouldn�t involve Mom regularly shoving her into a cramped closet space to pray for her soul, but that�s the life the Bible-thumping Mom has handed to her. Mom also works as a seamstress, and has an affinity for sharp objects, to be used as weapons on others or to matter-of-factly abuse her own skin.
The film gets down to business quickly with a faithful recreation of the original�s infamous girls locker room shower scene which, since it takes place in a high school, gives new meaning to the term �first period.� It also swiftly sets up the relationships between innocent, naive Carrie and the students and faculty members that eventually trigger the powers she didn�t know she had.
For those who don�t know the book and haven�t seen the first film, the only important bit to be revealed here is that she�s capable of telekinesis, and other manifestations of the ability to move objects with the mind. But don�t make her angry. You wouldn�t like her when she�s angry.
The story is really a study of cruelty � of bullies and self-centered (or disturbed) individuals who would have others follow their way and only their way. Lord knows (oops, a religious reference) that teens have a tough enough time dealing with everyday life without these kinds of complications.
Carrie�s main foe (after her crazy mom) is Chris (Portia Doubleday), the school�s main mean girl, who has made a target of Carrie just because she�s kind of different. We also get a befuddled and wimpy school principal, a concerned gym teacher, another mean girl who turns good, and Carrie who, driven to extremes, soon discovers, researches, and starts practicing her powers against those who would do her harm. Our protagonist goes from being miserable to becoming happy to turning into one of those characters that makes a horror story a horror story.
A quick apology for saying that there�s nothing new about this version. The shower scene is caught on a smartphone and posted on the Web, and �Dancing with the Stars� gets a shout out. Other than that it�s familiar territory � less gothic and gaudy than De Palma�s and just a little more over the top in visual effects of mayhem.
The third thing that crossed my mind was the problem with the ending. Suffice it to say, the original�s caught audiences off guard. We got something we weren�t expecting, resulting in a wonderful communal scream. This one sets up the same ending, then pulls the rug out from under us. The audience I saw it with reacted with a communal groan.

Why doesn't Andrew Maynard just become a Republican?
Most Connecticut Democrats had reason to be proud of their new senator last week, as Chris Murphy took to the floor of the U.S. Senate to attack the bullying tactics of the National Rifle Association and its call for more guns in schools, not fewer, in the wake of the Newtown killings.
Indeed, many in Connecticut have reason to be proud of the grieving Newtown families for the way they have bravely kept the country focused on the problem of gun violence.
Many Democrats here in eastern Connecticut, though, have reason to worry about how well their political interests are being represented in Hartford, starting with gun control.
Andrew Maynard of Stonington, whose 18th District meanders from the shoreline towns of Groton and Stonington up to more rural sections, was one of the two Democratic senators in Hartford to vote against the historic, bi-partisan gun control legislation developed in response to the Newtown tragedy.
I would have been more inclined to give a pass to Maynard on his vote, an obvious barometer reading of what he must believe to be a majority of his constituents' thinking on the issue, if he had spared everyone the NRA-inspired rhetoric.
But in the wake of his disappointing vote against the mainstream of both parties in Connecticut, Maynard had a lot of tortured explanations for what he did.
He told one reporter he thought the new law would do more harm than good by "disarming potential victims."
Maynard also said he wasn't defending "gun nuts" but upholding the rights of people who "hold this deep conviction that this is a part of who we are."
It was this empathetic view of opponents to gun control that made me think that Maynard is in the wrong party. Instead of turning his back on the traditional Democrats of his district, maybe he should more fully embrace his Republican-leaning constituents.
Party affiliation should be more than expediency, not just choosing the party in power so that you can be more comfortable in the majority. It means choosing one general political philosophy over another.
In the past when Maynard has bucked his party, like the vote against toughening laws for teen drivers and his initial reluctance to repeal the death penalty, he has pitched himself as a maverick. But, really, maverick is sometimes just political cover for obstruction.
Never mind the waffling on the death penalty and votes against gun control, Maynard has embraced a lot of other Republican political philosophies, getting high marks from business lobbyists. One of the bills he most aggressively championed in recent years was a tax credit for people investing more than $25,000 in new businesses.
Something tells me investors gambling that much money on business startups would be more likely to vote for a Republican pitching tax breaks for them.
In the current session of the General Assembly, Maynard has introduced a measure to exempt some boats from the state's sales and use tax, a legislative nod to marine-related business owners. He is also a co-sponsor of a bill that would require the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection to establish trails in state parks for ATVs, not something that would likely please environmentalists.
In Sen. Murphy's impressive speech on the Senate floor last week, he suggested there are some limits to the rights given by the Second Amendment.
"Liberty isn't having any gun any time you want," Murphy said. "What kind of liberty did those kids have when they were attacked by an assault weapon-wielding madman."
It's hard to imagine that Murphy shared the same party line on the ballot with the Connecticut senator from the 18th District, who was not so eloquent in explaining his support of gun rights for people "who hold a deep conviction that this is a part of who we are."
I think many Democrats in the senator's district are more interested in who they want to be in this state and in this country.

LED and LCD – what's the difference? It's a question we hear a lot from budding home theater shoppers. Blame the acronyms. While yesterday's consumers had to make a simple choice between CRT and rear-projection television sets, today's consumers are confronted with plasma, LCD, DLP, OLED, and laser televisions. And now, the age-old term LED has been stirred into the mix. Let's take a look at what those three magic letters mean, how they apply to televisions, and why you might want to consider buying one.
An LED TV is an LCD TV
Despite having a different acronym, an LED TV is just a different type of LCD TV. The proper name would actually be "LED-backlit LCD TV," but that's too much of a mouthful for everyday conversation, so people generally just refer to them as LED TV's, which can cause confusion.
Both types of TV make use of a liquid crystal display (LCD) panel to control where light is displayed on your screen. These panels are typically composed of two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them, so when an electric current passes through the liquid, it causes the crystals to align so that light can (or can't) pass through. Think of each crystal as a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking it out.
Now, since both LED and LCD TV's use LCD technology, you're probably wondering what the difference is. The answer? Backlighting. Ordinary LCD TV's use cold cathode fluorescent lamps (CCFL's) to provide backlighting, whereas LED TV's use an array of smaller, more efficient light emitting diodes (LED's) to illuminate the screen, which gives them a few advantages.
The benefits of LED backlighting
LED TV's carry a number of advantages over regular LCD TV's with CCFL backlighting. First of all, LED's are considerably smaller than CCFL tubes, which means LED TV's can be made much thinner. These days, most TV's that measure under an inch thick are made with LED because they add very little depth to the display profile.
LED's also consume less power than their CCFL counterparts, but the most important difference between the two is a feature called local dimming – a selective lighting technique that allows for deeper blacks and better overall picture.
The problem with CCFL backlighting is that fluorescent tubes must light the entire screen evenly, so designers have no way to vary the backlighting intensity in different parts of the screen. Even if you want to show a single white pixel on an all-black screen, the light in the back needs to be blazing away at full brightness. LED TV's offer a solution to this with local dimming. The idea behind this technique is to control the output of the LEDs so that, rather than be on at full brightness all the time, they can be dimmed or turned off entirely.
This makes for much better black levels and contrast. Think of a space scene. You've got this big pool of black, interrupted by little dots of brightness (stars) and maybe one bright object (perhaps a planet or spaceship) in the middle. This is an extremely difficult image to pull off well because LCD panels aren't that great at blocking out all of the light coming from the backlights. That's where local dimming can come in handy. With this feature, the TV can shut off all the lights it doesn't need and just use the right ones to make the stars and spaceship nice and bright.
However, it should be noted that not all LED TV's come equipped with local dimming. Broadly speaking, LED TV's come in two varieties: edge-lit and full-array, and only full-array TV's can pull off local dimming well enough to compete with plasma TVs on a respectable level. Recently, some manufacturers have developed edge-lit televisions with local dimming functionality (Samsung UND8000 series; LG LW5600 series), but due to the way they're built, they generally can't "turn off" different parts of the screen intelligently the same way a full-array set can. When buying an LED TV, make sure you know whether it's edge-lit or full-array before you pull out your wallet.
Efficient, bright, and stylish – but economical?
What does all this mean for the befuddled TV buyer? Well, if you can afford one, an LED-backlit HDTV is the way to go. These badboys are thin, easy to mount, energy efficient, and can produce a great picture – but all these benefits come at a premium. If you're on a budget but you still want a great picture, look for a good plasma screen. They're power hungry and usually a bit on the bulky side, but offer a cinematic experience similar to what you'll get on an LED TV, and for not nearly as much money. CCFL backlit LCD TV's are going the way of the Dodo, but might be the only option if you're working with a limited budget.

Now that Thanksgiving is out of the way, it�s time to start getting serious about the movies, as a host of Oscar contenders take over the local multiplexes in the final weeks of 2012. Some hotly anticipated titles, like �Zero Dark Thirty,� about the execution of Osama bin Laden, and �The Impossible,� a harrowing drama about the 2004 tsunami, won�t arrive here until January. But there�s still plenty of other award hopefuls for you to check out, including Peter Jackson�s new J. R. R. Tolkien trilogy, �The Hobbit,� and the long-awaited big-screen version of Herbert Kretzmer and Claude-Michel Schonberg�s record-shattering musical, �Les Miserables.� And it all begins next week with the debut of Brad Pitt�s bloody �Killing Them Softly,� and continues right up to the final weekend of the year, when Matt Damon�s controversial �Promised Land� bows. So to get you ready, here�s a sampling of the gifts Hollywood Santa has stuffed in his sack, beginning with:
Nov. 30
Killing Them Softly: Brad Pitt reteams with director Andrew Dominik (�The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford�) in an acclaimed drama about a hit man (Pitt) hunting the people responsible for ripping off his bosses. Sam Rockwell costars.
The Waiting Room: Peter Nicks� documentary chronicles 24 hours in the life of the emergency room at Oakland�s Highland Hospital, where a huge volume of patients try the patience of the doctors, nurses and staff.
Dec. 7
Playing for Keeps: Consider this smarmy, sports-themed tale of romance and redemption the antithesis of the brilliant �Silver Linings Playbook.� In it, Gerard Butler (no confusing him for a great thespian) plays a washed up soccer star who gets a new yellow card on life when he returns to his hometown to coach the local youth team. But here�s the kicker, he�s also scoring with the impossibly gorgeous soccer moms, played by Jessica Biel, Uma Thurman and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Where do I sign up?
Deadfall: Eric Bana and Olivia Wilde play siblings who split up and head for snowy Canada after a casino caper goes bust. Along the way, Wilde hooks up with an ex-boxer (Charlie Hunnam), who takes her home for Thanksgiving with his parents (Sissy Spacek and Kris Kristofferson), one of whom is a retired sheriff. And, going against all odds of probability, who else should show up for dinner? Why, her brother, of course. The real shocker is that this preposterous trash is directed by Stefan Ruzowitzky, who won an Oscar for �The Counterfeiters.�
Dino Time: In a year full of underwhelming animated flicks comes this potential stinker about three little boys whisked back to the age of dinosaurs by a time machine. Just knowing that the humongous reptiles speak (in English, no less), tells you that this one is doomed to extinction. Jane Lynch and Melanie Griffith, along with Hollywood laughing stocks, Rob Schneider and Stephen Baldwin, provide the voices.
Dec. 14
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: Before there was a ring and impending doom for Middle-earth at the hands of the evil Sauron, there were the adventures of hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), as he and a band of Dwarves journeyed from the Shire to reclaim treasure stolen by the dragon Smaug. Peter Jackson returns to the director�s chair after winning a much-deserved Oscar for his �Lord of the Rings� trilogy.
The Desolation of Smaug, part two of this three-part saga based on the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, will open next December, followed by �There and Back Again� in summer 2014.
Hyde Park on the Hudson: British director Roger Michell attempts to give us an American version of �The King�s Speech� by chronicling King George VI�s visit to Franklin Roosevelt�s retreat in Upstate New York in the fateful summer of 1939. Don�t expect Bill Murray to win any Oscars for portraying FDR, but it should be humorous just the same, especially when the prez sneaks away to tryst with his cousin, Margaret Stuckley, played by Laura Linney. Murray is an interesting casting choice, as is asking the lovely Olivia Williams to portray the decidedly unglamorous Eleanor Roosevelt.
The Central Park Five: The incomparable Ken Burns moves from the small screen to the big one to tell the disturbing tale about how five kids from Harlem were falsely accused of raping a white woman in Central park in 1989 � and how they became further victimized by the �wilding� media frenzy that ensued.
Dec. 19
The Guilt Trip: Barbra Streisand attempts to make amends for those �Focker� flicks by playing mom to Seth Rogen, as the two embark on an adventurous road trip. Does this mean we�ll get to see Babs fire up a joint? Let�s hope so. But I�ll settle for the �Funny Girl� just being funny again.
Monsters, Inc.: Disney�s fleecing of America continues with the rerelease of yet another Pixar classic refitted with tacked-on 3-D. Buyer beware.
Dec. 21
Jack Reacher: Tom Cruise reteams with his �Valkyrie� director Christopher McQuarrie for this potential franchise about an ex-military cop called in to solve the baffling murder of five people by a suspected Army marksman. Rosamund Pike and Richard Jenkins costar.
This is 40: Remember the best pals of Seth Rogen and Katherine Heigl in �Knocked Up�? If not, director Judd Apatow offers you this refresher course in which Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) are dealing with both the advent of middle age and the daunting task of raising two rascally children. Jason Segel and Melissa McCarthy costar.
Rust and Bone: Marion Cotillard is drawing deafening Oscar buzz for her turn as a whale trainer who finds love after sustaining a disabling injury. The director is Jacques Audiard, who won near unanimous acclaim for his last film, the powerful prison picture, �A Prophet.�
Cirque Du Soleil: Worlds Away 3-D: The next best thing to attending a Cirque Du Soleil performance in person is seeing it on the big screen, opulently presented by directors James Cameron and Andrew Adamson in the highest-quality 3-D.
Hunter Killer: With the acclaimed �Zero Dark Thirty� not slated to open in Boston until January, this other Navy SEAL story � from director Phillip Noyce � will have to do. But unlike �ZDT,� the SEALs on this mission are much more benevolent, as a team led by Gerard Butler and Sam Worthington races to rescue the president of Russia before WWIII breaks out. The only question is if this one is for real, or are they just Putin us on?
Dec. 25
Les Miserables: Victor Hugo�s timeless tale of woe, by way of Herbert Kretzmer and Claude-Michel Schonberg, finally makes it to the big screen with the season�s most eclectic cast. We know Hugh Jackman can sing, but what about Anne Hathaway and Russell Crowe? Word has it that all three are excellent filling the roles, respectively, of Valjean, Cosette and Javert. But the direction by Tom Hooper (�The King�s Speech�) is said to be even better.
Django Unchained: In Quentin Tarantino�s follow-up to �Inglourious Basterds,� a recently freed slave (Jamie Foxx) offers to help a Teutonic bounty hunter (fellow Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz) locate a pair of murderers, if the German will help him find the wife (Kerry Washington) taken from him years earlier by the slave trade. Their search eventually leads them to the infamous Candyland plantation run by Leonardo DiCaprio and his trusted house slave, played by Samuel L. Jackson. Expect plenty of clever humor and violence to ensue � in other words, the perfect holiday movie.
Parental Guidance: If Tarantino and star-studded musicals aren�t your yule thing, Billy Crystal and Bette Midler offer up this lighthearted alternative about a pair of fogies who bite off more than they can chew when they�re asked to babysit their trio of mollycoddled grandchildren after work assignments take Mom (Marisa Tomei) and Dad (Boston�s Tom Everett Scott) temporarily out of town. Let the kibitzing begin. Andy Fickman directs.
Dec. 28
Not Fade Away: When last seen, David Chase was leaving us all in the dark with the finale of �The Sopranos.� Now he�s back as a writer-director for this big-screen offering about a New Jersey teen � not unlike Chase � who dreams of making it big as a 1960s rock star, but encounters nothing but disappointment. Newcomer John Magaro plays the Chase surrogate and he�s a knockout, looking like a young Bob Dylan. No wonder he breaks the heart of his chief groupie, played by �Dark Shadows� scene-stealer Bella Heathcote.
Promised Land: Consider this the feel-good fracking movie of the holiday season, as Matt Damon and Frances McDormand play corporate shills trying to sell an economically depressed town on the false promises of prosperity, if only they�ll let them destroy their land and water by drilling for natural gas. And the only people daring to stop them are John Krasinski, Rosemarie DeWitt and Weymouth�s own Hal Holbrook. Gus Van Sant (�Good Will Hunting�) directs this decidedly pro-environmental fable.

Incorporating different forms of acquiring your vegetables and fruits will assure your daily requirements are met!
Lately I have heard a lot of hype about the whole "juicing" thing. Like many other people I know, I wonder: "What is the big difference between a juicer and a blender?" Don't they do the same thing? Isn't grinding veggies down to their liquified state the same with rotating blades? Apparently not, but both are great ways to keep your body healthy.
Juicing involves putting the whole fruit or vegetable into a juicer. Juicers work by dividing liquid from the vegetable or fruit. This quickly gets absorbed by the body due to its lack of fiber. The reason juicing is so healthy for you is because it provides you with a great boost of nutrients to keep you energized all day. You can combine lots of different vegetables and fruits for a tasty treat, this is a great way to mask the flavor of an undesirable vegetable. Simply blend it with some of your favorite veggies and fruits to reap its benefits without the horrible taste you dislike! If you are diabetic, be careful when you juice. Don't use a lot of fruit due to its high sugar content. Instead, use vegetables as your main base for juicing. You should consult a doctor before you begin to be sure it is safe to do so. Juicing is good for those people who have digestive issues however. It is much easier to digest due to its lack of fiber. Juices are a good addition to a healthy diet to aid in getting all of your daily vegetable and fruit servings in because you can put a lot of "stuff" in your juice at one time.
Blending retains the fiber and pulp of vegetables and fruits. Smoothies are the result. These are better suited to replace meals. You can add all kinds of tasty things to your smoothies. Some especially great items are: coconut water, almond milk, spinach, tomatoes, flaxseed, whey or any protein powder, nut butters, or avocados. The more healthy things you add, the more nutritional your smoothie. Due to the fiber present in smoothies, you will feel fuller longer. The fiber helps slow digestion and lets the nutrients be absorbed into the body at a slower rate. This is good for diabetics because it won't cause spikes in blood sugar levels. The drawback here is that it is harder to digest, so people with digestion problems may have difficulty with this way of gaining nutrition.

The information we have shared with you today comes from the website nola.com where Registered Diatician Molly Kimble shares her expertise. She also adds:
"Tips for juicing and blending
Here are some ways to maximize nutrient density and minimize sugars and calories, whether you're blending or juicing on your own or ordering at a juice bar:
Start with a base of nutrient-dense nonstarchy vegetables, incorporating a variety of colors, from dark greens to purples and reds to orange, as each color represents different nutrients.
Instead of limiting your blend to the same combinations over and over, rotate ingredients with what's fresh and local. Not only will you add interest and variety to your juice or smoothie, you'll also ensure that you're getting a broad range of nutrients.
Keep in mind that everything is concentrated — particularly with juicing. This includes desirable vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, but also potentially harmful pesticides and fertilizers, so be sure that even organic produce is washed thoroughly.
Boost the flavor and health benefits of juices and smoothies with add-ins like herbs (think basil, mint or cilantro) and spices (cayenne, ginger, cinnamon).
If the drink is going to be used as a meal replacement, increase its staying power with protein such as Greek yogurt or whey, soy, or vegan protein powder and healthful fats such as nuts, nut butter and avocado.
Freshly made juices and smoothies are highly perishable and can lose nutrients quickly, so drink or freeze shortly after juicing or blending.

Andrew and I were out with friends gorging at Applebees last weekend (half-priced appetizers after nine you know) and the group got into a good discussion about favorite movies by genre. You're free to chime in with your two cents, here are my picks with a few editorial comments from the group thrown in:
1. Best romantic comedy: While You Were Sleeping. For sheer quotability alone. In fact, if I ever attend a family dinner without someone saying "These mashed potatoes are so creamy . . . Argentina has good beef . . . Caesar Romero was tall" I'll then know my family has been abducted by replaced by alien pod people. But Sandra Bullock and what's-his-nose-romantic-lead are terrific. Love that show. Anyway, it's the best though we agreed Return to Me was also a contender. I thought Runaway Bride was at the top of the list too but no one was with me on that one.
2. Hardest cry: Dead Poet's Society. Took me four or five theater viewings and enough Kleenex to supply a funeral home before I could get through it without sobbing. Not sniffling. Sobbing. Ask Andrew about his Simon Birch experience. I won't humiliate the man here, not in front of the world.
3. Best "heist" movie: I'm going to go with The Italian Job on this one. Though Ocean's 11 and Sneakers are both good too. Oddly enough many of these great films are remakes . . . any other's you'd nominate?
4. Best action movie: Tough one here. I know Carinne would say the "Bourne" series (she's a fan) but I think I may have to go with Casino Royale. Nope, I'm changing my mind. Even my love for the new James Bond can't get past my love for Raiders of the Lost Ark. I still love watching that one. Classic, funny, entertaining, everything's great but Karen Allen.
5. Most inspirational movie: This one's a difficult category. Kendall suggested Ghosts of Mississippi and Andrew said Gandhi, both of which are which are terrific. I think Gandhi nudges out the other by a neck.
6. Best mystery: Dial M for Murder which is perfect in its plot and development though I'm also a fan of M. Knight Shyamalan's movies, with Unbreakable being my favorite.
7. Funniest movie: O Brother Where Art Thou? Every time. And if this movie doesn't convince you the Cohen Brothers are hilarious, then see Raising Arizona. Though (forgive me Carinne) Napolean Dynamite is right there with them.
8. Best animated movie: Finding Nemo. Ellen Degeneres and Al Brooks are the perfect combo and coupled with the parenting-theme I could watch this over and over. And have. That turtle scene gets me every time . . . "takin' on the jellies." Heh.
9. Scariest movie: Putting aside my childhood feelings for Malificent from Sleeping Beauty (what was with those horns??) I'm going to have to say Wait Until Dark. Not because it still scares me but because it's so artfully done and scared me so much the first time I saw it. The movies that really bother me I won't watch (I couldn't make it through Silence of the Lambs even edited on t.v.) so I'll name this Hepburn classic. Poltergeist and Jaws were scary when I was a kid and are both pretty good scares.
10. Best romance: Out of Africa. Though this could also qualify as the Worst Romance too. Worst meaning most tragic, but I love this story. The music, the biplane, the countryside, the accents, everything. Also The Scarlet Pimpernel (the old 80s version with Anthony Edwards and Jane Seymour), Pride and Prejudice (the A&E version of course) could be contenders but they were never regular feature-length releases so they might not count.
11. Best fantasy: This isn't really fair, because Lord of the Rings takes up the top three spots with no competition, but after that I'd say Ron Howard's Willow for--once again--quotability and also because the two brownies are totally Lenny and Squiggy from Laverne and Shirley.
12. Best musical: The Sound of Music. Even Andrew loves it. I still remember having the 8-track cassette in our old rust-colored Chevy Impala station wagon. That and a Dione Warwick album. I liked The Sound of Music soundtrack better, doesn't every kid love the goat-puppet scene?
13. Best sci-fi: Setting aside Star Wars (the obvious choice) I suppose it depends on your definition of science-fiction. Anything with aliens? Probably Close Encounters of the Third Kind (can you even eat mashed potatoes and not think of Richard Dreyfus?) Anything with science? Back to the Future or Contact. I like those too. This is probably the toughest category.
14. Best classic (pre-1980): Charade. Or maybe Rear Window (in my dreams I dress like Grace Kelly did in that one). Though Roman Holiday gets me every time.

A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but what about Parcel Post and Express Mail? If these products have new names, will they be more appealing to customers? We are about to find out.
Later this month, the U.S. Postal Service will change the name of Express Mail to Priority Mail Express. Earlier this year, the Postal Service renamed Parcel Post to Standard Post. These name changes also come with some product enhancements, including improved tracking and insurance services. All of these changes are designed to strengthen the Postal Service's shipping business in the rapidly expanding package delivery arena.
Parcel Post, one of the Postal Service's oldest products and among its best-known brands, just celebrated its 100th anniversary. Its origin in 1913 is memorialized in stone at the old Post Office Department headquarters in Washington, D.C, where it is among a list of historic postal products inscribed in the building's façade. In 1977, Express Mail became one of the few new "subclasses" created since passage of the 1970 Postal Reorganization Act. Since then, it has been known as the Postal Service's premier express mail service, providing overnight delivery to some destinations. Of course, postal products should evolve to meet market needs, not remain frozen in time like an etching in stone.
Despite the long history of these products, the Postal Service believes that these rebranding changes will reinvigorate them and make them more competitive. In particular, the Express Mail change seeks to capitalize on the strong Priority Mail brand and the positive associations with it. Express Mail volume has fallen three times faster than Priority Mail since 2006, and Priority Mail is 20 times larger than Express Mail; and unlike Express Mail, Priority Mail has seen recent volume growth. Also, the Postal Service said "Priority Mail Express" will allow it to offer more definitive service expectations. Priority Mail will no longer be called a "2-3 day" service, and instead customers will get 1-day, 2-day, or 3-day service based on the specific origin-destination characteristics of the package.
Do you think the name change will reinvigorate Express Mail? Will customers be confused by the name changes? Are the name changes important from a sales and marketing perspective, or are there other service-related changes that would help?
Regarding Standard Post, does the jettisoning of the established "Parcel Post" brand strengthen the Postal Service's position in the shipping business? Does the inclusion of "Standard" in the title make it too similar to other postal products, notably the mail category of Standard Mail, which is used by business mailers to send advertising? Or is the name likely to be unimportant to users of this ground parcel service?

I plugged the gizmo in and turned on the table lamp in my living room. Within seconds, the number 55 appeared on the digital display. I turned the lamp off, unscrewed the regular 60-watt incandescent light bulb and replaced it with a compact fluorescent. When I turned the lamp on again, the number on the display was only 13.
The gizmo in question was a power meter that measures electricity consumption. I had borrowed it from the Ottawa Public Library just the same way I might borrow a book. The meter is one of several ways people can find out about electricity consumption at home.
Knowing energy consumption matters more than ever as Hydro Ottawa transitions to time-of-use billing. When the phase-in is completed, all Ontario homes and businesses are expected to be on time-of-use billing by the end of this year, according to the Hydro Ottawa website— consumers will pay different rates for electricity at different times of day.
And if you have a home appliance that's an energy hog, chances are it's going to cost you.
"There is a fair amount of energy illiteracy out there," says Dana Silk, general manager of Ottawa's EnviroCentre, a non-profit organization focused on energy-efficient goods and services. Silk says there's a lot people can do to reduce energy consumption and ultimately save themselves money.
While lighting gets a lot of attention because it's easy to change a 60-watt incandescent bulb for a compact fluorescent one that uses a lot less power, lighting generally accounts for only a small percentage of power use in a home, says Silk— about five per cent.
The big energy users are the furnace and the air conditioner, the water heater, the washer and dryer, and the big kitchen appliances — stove, fridge, dishwasher.
"New appliances are much more efficient than old ones," says Silk, so if you have old appliances you can save money on electricity by updating.
How you use an appliance will also matter.
Silk says a fridge placed in a sunny corner of the kitchen will use more power than one in a darker part of the room, simply because it will cycle on more often.
And a fridge that is less often opened will be cheaper to run than a fridge in a family of people who like to open the door and stand there contemplating the food inside.
The bottom line is that people who are concerned about energy consumption can do something to cut their use by modifying habits (washing clothes with cold water, for example, instead of hot), switching to more energy-efficient appliances and products and, once time-of-use billing takes effect, timing their use of electricity.
It helps if you know how much power you are consuming. Power meters are a quick and easy way of measuring that — at least for devices than are plugged in with regular plugs.
You can buy a power meter at a hardware store —the Blue Planet meter is listed at $24.99 on the Canadian Tire website— or you can borrow one from the library through its "Kill-a-Watt" program.
Line Gravelle, manager of the Ottawa Public Library's main library, says the library began lending the meters in 2005 in partnership with EnviroCentre and Hydro Ottawa, which provided the meters to the library free of charge.
"The Kill-a-Watt meters are treated as any other library material," says Gravelle, explaining that customers can place holds on them and borrow them for up to seven days at a time.
"There is no charge or deposit to borrow them and they are available at all 33 of our branches plus the bookmobile," she says. "We currently have 168 units available for circulation."
You can also book a home energy audit through EnviroCentre. The audits usually cost about $300, but Silk says homeowners can get a $150 rebate from the province.
The audit takes about two hours and gives homeowners a report on the home's energy consumption, along with suggestions for saving money and making the home more comfortable by changing ventilation and heat distribution.
EnviroCentre has also just opened a retail store at 366 Rideau St. EnviroBoutique sells a variety of energy efficiency products and, in co-operation with Montreal's CO Gallery, products and objets d'art made from recycled goods such as pillows made from recycled car seatbelts or doggie beds made of recycled plastic.
"Our real goal is to facilitate the purchase, installation and use of energy-efficient goods and services," says Silk, adding that they are also trying to develop the Rideau Street location into a recycling depot for things like batteries.
Silk says it's important everyone be as knowledgeable as possible about energy use. I certainly had a better idea after a few days with the power meter.
I discovered my clock-radio used only one watt to run, and when I charged up my iPod the number was two. The number shot up to 240 when I ran my food processor, but then that was only for short bursts. My chest freezer, when the motor was running, was sucking up about 95 watts.
The freezer is probably my oldest appliance— and I bet I'd save money if I updated.
In the meantime, the incandescent light bulbs in the living room lamps are gone.
Time to Pay
When time-of-use billing comes into effect, electricity users will be billed according to three different rates.
The highest rate will be charged during peak hours — the middle of the day on weekdays in summer, when air conditioners are most likely to run, and morning and early evening on weekdays in the winter, when heating and lighting demands are greatest.
Time-of-use billing is possible because of the recent installation of smart meters in homes. See hydroottawa.com and follow the links for more information on time-of-use rates and billing.
