Food & Drink | JOE's Top Five BBQs

The uniquely newsworthy Irish sensation of not having to wear a jacket this week could mean only one thing: it's finally BBQ season. If you're seeking the perfect BBQ, here are the top recommendations from us and the folks over at Bulmers.

You'll want to make an impression with both your BBQ and cooking skills if you're having friends over this weekend so here are our top five recommendations for whether you're seeking a gas BBQ or the disposable option instead:

Weber Genesis Red 3-Burner Gas Barbecue, E310

Price: ?1,200 (available via special order)

Considered the Rolls Royce of barbeques, this retro-inspired BBQ is so luxurious that it's probably more used to tending towards Kobe beef than your regular burgers, so you might want to splash out for meat befitting of such an incredible purchase too.

This BBQ includes porcelain-enameled cast-iron cooking grates, an enclosed cart with painted steel doors and stainless-steel handles. The capacity is 507-square-inch primary cooking area, while it also features a 130-square-inch warming rack for a 637 square-inch total cooking area.

Weber Q200 Gas BBQ with cart

Price: ?346.00

A slight step down from the Weber model above - what isn't? - but the Weber Q200 is a fine choice with most of the above's extras. This gas powered BBQ comes with 280-square-inches of cooking area, a cast aluminum lid and body and two durable work tables for your pre and post-cooked meat.

The nylon grill frame is glass-reinforced too and has a push button ignition so there will be not waiting around for you or your guests.

Sunday Denver Pre-Cast Charcoal Masonry BBQ

Price: ?309.00

Now we're talking about getting back to nature with a masonry BBQ. Not only can such a purchase provide an attractive focal point in any garden, this Denver barbecue is built using reconstituted stone and marble, meaning that it is long lasting. Also, just look how incredible it looks and try to resist it.

Weber Smokey Joe Original BBQ

Price: ?60.75

With a colour scheme that makes it the patriotic choice, Weber?s Smokey Joe Original is a more simple, compact option that burns charcoal. Granted, it lacks some of the bells and whistles of the above models but in what it lacks in versatility, it makes up in portability and eh... being green.

Make sure you're picking up the latest model as it has new improved features including a new style handle with heat shield, side vents replacing the bottom vent and a charcoal measuring cup that takes the guesswork out of fuelling the BBQ.

Party size instant BBQ

Price: ?8.99

Lastly, if barbecues are an extremely rare occurrence in your house and you're reluctant to shell out big money for something you might only use sparingly (this is Ireland...), then don?t be ashamed ? get an instant BBQ instead..

An instant BBQ will heat up in minutes, burn for an hour and a half, costs less than a tenner and won't involve you getting your hands dirty. Best of all, there's no clean-up required.

If there?s a downside, we can?t see it but if we're being honest, we're still quite entranced by that masonry BBQ to recommend anything else...

All models and prices quoted are from B&Q.

Start-Up Of The Week: CoolGeekAustralia - A Young Entrepreneur's ...

CoolGeek is an eCommerce venture launched recently by Tram Tran and her partner which currently caters to the needs of spectacle frames and lenses for the Australian populace. What is unique about this venture is that Tram is a full time student in Sydney who is just 21 years of age and has concurrently created ?CoolGeek to bolster her passive income. Their policy for selecting products to sell here is quite simple - only sell the coolest, geekiest, highest quality stuff that they would like to wear themselves.

Tram is also an entrepreneur at heart and believes in running her online empire from her laptop and phone. ?Another unique feature at CoolGeek is that should you, not like the product for any reason, on return within a stipulated period you will be refunded 110% of the price that you paid for it - I bet that is an offer that you would not have encountered anywhere else. They sell most of their frame + standard lens at $99 AUD. ?I have been following CoolGeek since its inception and noticed that they have just launched a very cool new feature where you can "Try the frame" on different avatars or if you have a webcam then you can snap yourself and actually see what you look like in the frame that you are looking to buy.

Tram is also the blogger behind StartYoungFinishFirst where she professes the idea of how one should start young in life as an entrepreneur and how that poses an advantage to anyone. All of her posts are well researched but my favorite happens to be this. Tram was good enough to take some time out of her hectic schedule and talk to us about her work. Heck, as a bonus to our readers she has created a coupon on her website; use coupon code "ejunkie" to avail yourself a $20 AUD flat discount on the site. Check out Tram's responses below:

Tram, could you please introduce yourself to our readers.?

I?m Tram Tran, 21 years old, university student and co-founder of Cool Geek Specs at www.coolgeekaustralia.com

What was the inspiration behind starting Cool Geek?

I have terrible eyesights but hate wearing just one dull expensive pair of glasses. On my holiday to Vietnam, when going shopping, I found out that owning multiple pairs of stylish, cool frames for a fraction of the cost is possible. The key is to get on good terms with suppliers and have a large network of connections. This helps enormously in securing the most stylish styles for the cheapest price.

I thought to myself. "There must be others wanting to own several pairs of stylish, cool prescription glasses but are afraid of the enormous cost." I told my 2 other friends and they all agree that we should give this a shot. Cool Geek was born like that.

You can read more of how Cool Geek was born in my blog here:

(http://www.startyoungfinishfirst.com/holiday-shopping-and-start-up.html)

What were some of the difficulties that you faced from the point that you conceived the idea to having Cool Geek up and running?

Being a full time student who runs business has its up and down. Time management and self- discipline are the two main tasks I feel I have to master to have Cool Geek up and running. We have no background in designing, so in conjunction of hiring designers to help us build the site, we also have to learn basic designing. We believe that it?s good to know a little bit of everything

What is the criteria that you use to determine whether a frame gets sold on Cool Geek or not?

Van Anh, our head designer hand-picks our frames. We only choose the designs that we ourselves would wear, which means the frames are of the highest quality, the coolest style and of course in the softest price range.

Since you are a start-up how are you promoting the concept and the website? ?

Being a start-up, we mostly use free to low-cost marketing methods such as words of mouth (this can be very powerful), Facebook marketing ( Please like our page at www.facebook.com/coolgeekaus) , Google adwords, offline marketing.

We are also planning a new marketing campaign where we give out FREE prescription lenses. To promote this campaign, we ask for the help of Australia?s top bloggers as well as distributing flyers around university campuses ( because our target customers are university students who love cool, quirky frames but don?t have the budget to afford expensive designer frames).

We also include a $10 gift card in every order we send out, to keep our customers coming back.

We also give out 5% of our profit to help sick kids. We want to make sure the process of giving back is made easy. Our customers simply purchase a cool pair of specs and some where in Vietnam, a kid is helped.

What other people do you look up to for inspiration? This could be other entrepreneurs, artists writers etc.

I look up to a lot of entrepreneurs for inspiration. Their success inspires me. Recently I watched an episode of Shark Tank, one of the entrepreneurs is only 16 but has been generating a profit of one million dollars from her jewelry line.

I thought to myself, if a 16 year old can do it, I can do it

If you could have one superhero (or magical) power, what would ?it be and why?

Funny you should ask, I just had my 21st birthday party not long ago and the theme is Super Heroes. If I could have one superhero power, I would want the ability to heal the sick. That is partly the reasons why I?m so passionate about entrepreneurialism. It opens several opportunities to generate money, make money work for us (instead of us working for money). While money can?t buy your health, it can be used as resource for medical research. By doing business and making money, I can give back and indirectly fulfill my super hero duty.

What are your future plans for Cool Geek? Do you have plans to launch more eCommerce websites?

There are several future plans for Cool Geek. We plan to pursue the customization path as we feel this is the way to differentiate our products to the rest of the competition. In initial stage, we would like to include an engraving service, in which we help our customers can express their individuality by engraving on the inside of the frame. It can be a symbol, an image or a meaningful quote. The ultimate goal is to build Cool Geek into a site where our customers can design their own pair of frame. Our vision is to let customers have full control of how their glasses will look like. Customers will be able to add their own touches from the shapes of the lenses, colors of the bridge, material of the frames instead of having someone else design their specs.

Of course, we have plans to launch more eCommerce websites, but we don?t want to be ahead of our words, so hopefully in the near future, we?ll report to eJunkie all the bits and pieces of our new site(s).

As a young entrepreneur what tips and advice would you like to give to our readers on how to succeed online?

I blog regularly about the power of starting young at my blog (www.startyoungfinishfirst.com). As clich? as it sounds, I find this quote true:? Success is a ladder that can not be climbed with your hands in your pocket.? And one more thing, Start as young as you can, if you fail, you still have time to start again.




Thank you for taking the time for this interview, we wish you and Cool Geek the very best for the future.?

mobile technology ? Future Technologies Coming To Your Ever ...

The future contains ever disturbed microprocessors, memory modules and devices. This technology drives our productivity to greater heights, while allowing the professional a greater sense of mobility and interconnectivity. In this article we will discuss some of the most promising technologies coming to a mobile blueprint in the come future. From ultra minute, ultra stable flash memory for USB drives to ultra distinguished shining phones and mobile computers.

A fresh Era of Processors

Intel recently announced in its 2010 Intel Developer Forum that it will be releasing in the second half of 2011 a unique line of processors codenamed Sandy Bridge to replace the original Core i3, Core i5 and Core i7 lines and may even note up in some mobile devices, competing with more prominent manufacturers in mobile technology like ARM. In statements from Intel, the modern processor will house a ring architecture that allows a built in processor graphics engine to piece resources such as cache therefore increasing a devices computing and graphics performance while maintaining energy efficiency.

One goal of this original family of processing is to enhance unique usage of computers in the most favorite applications like HD video, 3D gaming, multitasking and online multimedia and social groups. As notebooks become ever more common and threaten to eclipse the desktop, these unusual developments will wait on to hold users in the mainstream of technology.

But Intel is not the only manufacturer with tremendous designs for the microprocessor. ARM has announced its next-generation processor, the Cortex A15, a 2.5 GHz quad-core designed for mobile computing only days after Samsung announced a dual-core Cortex A9. The Cortex A15 contains architecture that is similar to that venerable in the dominant amount of knowing phones and mobile devices celebrated today. Due to these likenesses, the integration into the unique market will be seamless, easily utilizing such programs as Adobe Flash Player, various Java platforms, MS Windows Embedded, Symbian, Linux and an ARM Connected Community of 700 software and hardware developers and designers.

The technologies in the recent ARM processor will enable hardware virtualization, the ability to address up to 1Tb of memory and error correction developments designed for improved fault tolerance, all the while maintaining vulgar power consumption.

We can explore forward to seeing both of these technologies empower the mobile plot user into realms not opinion possible with recent technology. With applications in Smartphones, Mobile Computing, Digital Home Entertainment Equipment, Wireless Infrastructure and even some server technology we will no doubt encounter the effects of this fresh era of processors

Flash Memory at Its Smallest

In original news reports, Hynix, Samsung and Toshiba have all announced production of ?20-nm class? NAND chips, with Toshiba reaching as miniature as 24-nanometer. This recent process will allow more chips stacked together for higher capacity NAND flash memory modules. The technology is being applied to 2-bit-per-cell 8GB chips which are purported to be the smallest and highest density memory parts in the world. In the future we can notice forward to this process being applied to 3-bit-per-cell 4GB products.

The Toshiba chips spend DDR technology for faster data transfer, and have applications in devices such as smartphones, media players, and tablets to name a few. Previously available in the market have been the 8GB NAND chips using 32-nm technology.

This could mean obliging things for the consumer. Firstly, this is liable to incite a label war bringing the cost of this fresh technology lower than would be expected with only a single manufacturer creating them. Also, as tall corporations develop their newest devices to meet market seek information from, costs for lower capacity NAND flash like USB drives, which are level-headed in very high ask, could go down. contemplate for notice reductions later this year.

So what does all of this mean for the business professional on the go?? Why, more go of course. I glance forward to testing and even purchasing some of this technology, improving my careers, both professional and academic.

As India's old ways change, senior-care homes are on the rise ...

TRIVANDRUM, India ? R. Padmanathan Nair sits on a plastic chair in the entryway of the Heritage senior home talking about the fellow residents who treat him like family, which is helpful seeing as his own rarely visits.

His wife tried to abscond with their valuables, he said, so he gave the house to a niece, who ignored him after she got the property. Now his daughter is the only one who visits the 76-year-old retired teacher here in the capital of the southern state of Kerala, and that?s just a few times a year.

?But she only comes to get money from me,? said Nair, unshaven and dressed in a white lungi skirt-like garment and striped polo shirt, his voice rising in anger. ?It?s a blessing there are homes like this.?

India, a nation that prides itself on the inclusive embrace of its extended families, is slowly accepting a feature long common in the West: elder-care facilities.

Social changes find more urban families rejecting traditional arrangements involving grandparents, parents and children under one roof, preferring life without nosy in-laws. Economics is also playing a role as more professionals work abroad or in large Indian cities, too busy to care for aging parents.

But things work both ways, sociologists say. More older people also prefer living with others their age, even enjoying a bit of romance away from the disapproving gaze of grown-up children.

?Life here is easier than living with my family in all respects,? said P.V. Bhaskasan, also a retired teacher. ?There?s too much fighting in extended families.?

As India?s traditional social contract frays, however, seniors are also more subject to neglect, physical and mental abuse and depression. In 2010, 11,100 people older than 60 committed suicide, a 20 percent increase from 2008.

?In abuse cases, parents don?t want to come out against their own children,? said Anjali Raje, deputy executive director of the International Longevity Center in Pune. ?So it?s swept under the rug.?

The idea of senior homes has long carried a stigma in India.

?I can?t imagine sending my parents to one of these,? said Sathish Kumar, 47, a Trivandrum rickshaw driver who shares care of his 77-year-old father with his brother. ?It?s rather tragic.?

But that?s changing, as more upscale gated communities for seniors, such as Mumbai?s pioneering Dignity Lifestyle, offer saunas, aromatherapy, gyms and pools.

Because it?s a relatively new concept, there?s a generational difference, with those in their 70s and 80s generally more unhappy about living in a senior home and those in their 60s ? a group that?s had more time to watch society change around them ? more accepting, said Dr. C.P. Muralidhara, care home manager at Utsav Retirement Resort outside New Delhi.

India, with its relatively young population, is still a long way from Western nations. Most extended families still live together, and even when grown children move away they tend to stay relatively close and visit often.

But the picture is changing, with the number of India?s people older than 60, now at 96 million, expected to double by 2030. Critics say government planners are so enamored of the ?India shining? narrative of its young people that they all but ignore the demographic shift.

?This is the government?s last priority,? said Roshan Jacob, an elder-care expert. ?We?re digging our own grave. It?s a 200 percent crisis for India if we don?t start thinking about this.?

A recent survey by Economist magazine rated India last among 40 nations, behind Uganda, on ?end-of-life care services,? including access to drugs and caregivers. Only a few medical colleges in this nation of 1.2 billion people teach geriatrics. And less than 15 percent of the population is covered by a pension system, which offers as little as $1.50 a month.

Kerala is at the leading edge of the trend, reportedly home at one point to half of India?s senior-care facilities. The state is among India?s most rapidly aging, its average life expectancy, at 72, nearly six years above the national average. And it has one of the highest percentages of its labor force working overseas.

Although there are growing options for middle-class retirees, those at the bottom in India often fall through the cracks. Institutions such as the 20-bed Bethany Home for the Aged, on the outskirts of Trivandrum, struggle to cope, taking in those destitute, abandoned, afflicted with Alzheimer?s disease.

One resident thinks he?s being poisoned every time they give him his blood-pressure medicine, said the home?s director, P. Edison, a minister with the Church of South India. Others don?t remember they?ve eaten and accuse the facility of starving them.

?Most of those living here don?t want to be here but have nowhere else to go,? he said. ?It takes enormous patience.?

At the other end of the spectrum is a growing number of upscale options, including the Utsav resort near New Delhi, where apartments for residents 55 and older in a gated enclave with manicured lawns and fancy topiary sell for $40,000 or more, plus monthly maintenance charges.

Residents Sushila Jagtiani, 75, and her husband, Lal, 78, both retired doctors, considered living at a senior home in Australia near their son but opted for Utsav in part because it was much less expensive. ?And residents in the Australia home were all lonely,? she said. ?In India, it?s not like that. At this stage we can?t adapt.?

Nair, the retired teacher, who?s lived at Heritage Home for 12 years, bemoans the loss of traditional Indian values in society.

?Young people today have become more like in America,? he said. ?They?re greedy and have no respect for the older generation.?

With the afternoon heat at its peak, he heads up some stairs to his 15-by-15-foot studio apartment, with a single bed on, a cupboard and a small altar with images of several Hindu gods.

Although he?s pleased that his fellow residents help one another, he says moving into a community with 56 unrelated people has its challenges. Occupants argue, yell, even have brawls.

?The way some residents act is quite deplorable,? he said. ?They may be old, but they?re not always very mature.?

(Tanvi Sharma of the Los Angeles Times? New Delhi bureau contributed to this report.)

2 more activists charged related to NATO summit

This undated photo provided May 20, 2012, by the Chicago Police Department shows Sebastian Senakiewicz, 24, of Chicago. Chicago police said Sunday, May 20, 2012, that Senakiewicz has been charged with one felony count of terrorism/making a false threat. He is accused of planning to make a Molotov cocktail to be used during the NATO summit. Prosecutors previously charged three other men after a raid on a Chicago apartment with planning to attack President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home and other targets. They're also accused of trying to make Molotov cocktails. (AP Photo/Chicago Police Department)

This combo made from undated photos released Saturday, May 19, 2012 by the Chicago Police Department shows from left, Brent Vincent Betterly, 24, of Oakland Park, Fla., Jared Chase, 24, of Keene, N.H., and Brian Church, 20, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. The three men arrested Wednesday, May 16, 2012, in Chicago, accused of making Molotov cocktails with plans to attack President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters, Mayor Rahm Emanuel's home and other targets during this weekend's NATO summit, according to prosecutors at a court hearing Saturday. The three were arrested in a nighttime raid of an apartment in the city's South Side Bridgeport neighborhood ahead of the two-day meeting. (AP Photo/Chicago Police Department)

CHICAGO (AP) ? Prosecutors charged two more activists Sunday with crimes tied to the two-day NATO summit, accusing one of saying he wanted to blow up a downtown Chicago bridge and a second with seeking to build pipe bombs.

But attorneys for the two men said the charges were manufactured by a pair police informants or undercover officers they know as "Mo" and "Gloves," and again accused authorities of trumping up a case to scare protesters in town for the summit.

"He is being targeted because of his beliefs," defense attorney Molly Armour said of her client, Sebastian Senakiewicz. "These charges are extremely sensational."

The Cook County State's Attorney's office charged Senakiewicz, 24, of Chicago, with falsely making a terrorist threat. Mark Neiweem, 28, of Chicago, is charged with attempted possession of explosives or incendiary devices. Both men were arrested Thursday.

Prosecutors told a judge at a Sunday court appearance that Senakiewicz, a Polish native, said he could blow up a bridge in downtown Chicago. They accused him of bragging repeatedly about having explosives and said he claimed to have hid them in a hollowed out Harry Potter book. Prosecutors said searches did not uncover explosives.

Prosecutors said Neiweem wanted to build a pipe bomb and wrote a list of ingredients required, including model rocket engines.

A Cook County judge set bond at $750,000 for Senakiewicz and $500,000 for Neiweem. Defense attorney Sarah Gelsomino said after the hearing the bond amounts were "punitively high."

The charges came a day after three other activists appeared in court and were accused of manufacturing Molotov cocktails and harboring plans to attack President Barack Obama's campaign headquarters and other targets during the NATO meeting.

The trio charged Saturday are Brian Church, 20, of Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.; Jared Chase, 24, of Keene, N.H.; and, Brent Vincent Betterly, 24, of Oakland Park, Fla. They were arrested on Wednesday and face charges of conspiracy to commit terrorism, material support for terrorism and possession of explosives.

Police Superintendent Garry McCarthy said he didn't know if Senakiewicz and Neiweem had any connection to Church, Chase or Betterly.

But defense attorneys said Sunday that a common thread is that "Mo" and "Gloves" befriended all the charged activists and appeared to steer them into activities that could be perceived as illegal.

Gelsomino said "Mo" and "Gloves" began befriending activists in the Chicago area in early May and were present when Church, Chase or Betterly were arrested. She said many activists in Chicago for the NATO protests knew "Mo" and "Gloves" and are now worried they could also be arrested.

Critics say filing terrorism-related charges against protesters is reminiscent of previous police actions ahead of major political events, when authorities moved quickly to prevent suspected plots but sometimes quietly dropped the charges later.

McCarthy on Saturday flatly dismissed the idea the arrests of the initial three suspects were anything more than an effort to stop "an imminent threat."

Kris Hermes, an attorney with the National Lawyers Guild, which has represented many of the activists, said the charges against Senakiewicz and Neiweem are also an "effort to frighten people and to diminish the size of the demonstrations."

"Even if charges are dropped or reduced later, they will have succeeded in spreading fear and intimidation," Hermes said.

Prosecutors said Church, Chase and Betterly used fuel purchased from a Chicago gas station for makeshift bombs, pouring it into beer bottles and cutting up bandanas to serve as fuses. If convicted on all counts, they could get up to 85 years in prison. They are each being held on $1.5 million bond.

Expected in court later Sunday is a third man, Taylor Hall, who was arrested during Saturday night protests and is charged with aggravated battery to a police officer. Authorities did not immediately release Hall's age or hometown.

haha naah I wouldn't do that. She got it first :] I've Rp'd with Reapergirl before though, she's really good. She'll do great. I might be down to be a second sibling if you'd be interested in that. Seeing as how Thor has had more than a few love interests from Jane Foster, to Lady Sif to Amora the Enchantress it would be easy for a second child to be out there but it's up to you. Your rp after all :)

I mean it depends on how many people I get for this. I'll PM you tomorrow or Monday to tell you how I'll decide though. I mean it is true and I might change it so that Thor is the one with two kids instead of Tony Stark.

And sure to both reservations

How do you feel about someone playing as spider-man or other marvel heroes? Spider-man has always been a solo act but he's been known to team up with the avengers on numerous occassions. If you're going to to do teenage superhero thing, why not follow DC's lead as they did with YJ.

Can I reserve the last female and make her Stark's other child? Or would you prefer his other to be male?

Zero: This is more related to the movie than the comics. Sorry.

Kay: The females are all taken.

Bromander: If that is what I decide, your character would be male?

Oh. My. Goodness. I'm basing this on the movie guys. I've never read any of the comics, so sorry if this isn't %100 accurate.

Yeah, he'd be male. If you decide to go ahead with it I'd like to throw a few pm's to and from Reapergirl so we can set up any sort of relationship that may or not be there between the siblings. I was thinking of having him Sif or Amoras son which would be cool since Reapergirl's is Janes daughter. Half siblings like their father. Hopefully they'll get along better than Thor and Loki though lol

I hate when some kid sees a movie and is all "OMG I am making a RP of this!" and has no idea about ANY of the non-movie related details, and makes an abomination of fan-fic garbage. Im sorry if this offends, but honestly..how hard is it to read a few wikipedia articles at least?

If you knew ANYTHING about the comics before making this, then you would know that Zero there CAN have Spiderman, as he IS a memeber of the Avengers these days. As is a whole buncha folks not seen in the film. Hell, what about Pymm? He is kinda important.

If you wanna make a RP about something you know little about, why not let people that DO know more help fill in the gaps?

Hey in Riot's defnese she DID use the film as her copyright reference source effectively giving everyone viewing the rp prior knowledge to the fact that the rp will be based off the movie and not the comic books. That being said these characters all have deep and rich histories in the canon verse and you can't really expect someone to learn enough to satisfy the fanboys with a few wiki articles. If it helps look at this as an alternate universe thusly allowing Black Widow and Hawkeye to have a child and so on. Hell DC and Marvel are notorious for alternate realities so cut Riot some slack. I get the frustration, it pisses me off too but let's not flip Asgardian monkey shit and wait to see if she actually makes a mistake.

Yeah that is a rant :)

I havent seen the movie.

Let me know if you make an rpg based on the comics, not that Im an expert (like ol' nox there) I have read (downloaded) the first 5 or 6 avengers comics.

Is this true about cardio and aerobics? | Health and Fitness

Question by celicast2002: Is this true about cardio and aerobics?
I read that 20mins of cardio or aerobics in the morning on an empty stomach burns fat more effectively than 30mins a day after a meal since it takes 20mins to start burning fat.

Best answer:

Answer by Dave
Your question is highly debatable and there is no clear answer. We dont know for sure, no one knows, they just tell you what they think. No doctor, bodybuilder, scientist, trainer, researcher, or teacher knows the answer to your question before. I read a 33 page post on a bodybuilding forum where people were arguing about it, and let me tell you, some of the top bodybuilders were part of it. I mean bodybuilders you see on tv that win competitions. It also included pharmacists and other people who have a deep knowledge of the human body. Theres also studies that have gone both ways. For some reason, we still dont know the answer.

But whatever the answer is, I can tell you this. You need to go longer with the cardio, I would do at least 45 min either way, whether your doing it before or after food. And if your doing it before food, I think you should take a couple amino acid pills so you minimize muscle loss.

Just to let you know, the whole debate has to do with what is actually lost. Some people say that when you do cardio on an empty stomach, you lose more muscle than if you have food in your system, which is not something you want to do (lose muscle).

Know better? Leave your own answer in the comments!

94% Marley

All Critics (83) | Top Critics (23) | Fresh (77) | Rotten (5)

Sprinkled with riffs, concert footage and home videos, the family-authorized documentary does what the artist usually did: When in doubt, return to the beat.

Macdonald supplies some interesting and novel details about the musician's life and art, though the movie's narrative arc and documentary methods are totally predictable.

Bob Marley wrote the same song about 8,000 times, and the documentary "Marley" makes sure to include each version.

This is a life story worth telling, and "Marley" does it much justice. Marley may or may not have been perfect, but he was certainly fascinating.

It's hard to imagine audiences who don't know much about the man sticking around for more than a few minutes of this. And they're the ones who need to know about him most of all.

The movie has enormous force - because it's about a genius, yes, but even more so because of the intelligence, passion and wit of the people who knew Marley.

Kevin Macdonald's "Marley" is worth sticking with, and not just for diehard fans who had "Get Up, Stand Up" emanating from their dorm room speakers all through college.

Bob Marley fanatics are going to treat this film like the Holy Bible.

Will get you up to speed regarding all things Marley.

For a movie this long, it's too bad there isn't more footage of Marley in performance, joyously bringing music to the world.

...likely as close as we'll ever come to a definitive film biography of this gnomic figure.

Macdonald effectively lets the talking heads and the music explain the longevity of Marley's appeal.

Recounts a short life that seemed to straddle worlds and eras, and perhaps the definitive portrait will never be filmed or written. Until it is, though, there's always the music.

A truly human portrait of an extraordinary life.

Marley is a terrific documentary. It goes beyond one figure, and captures the essence of life itself. The film is as infectious and spiritual as one of his songs.

Good documentaries make us want to know more about their subject. But great ones like Marley don't need to.

It's certainly comprehensive, even if -- at two and a half hours long -- not exactly concise.

If you'd asked me a month ago how Marley had died, I might have cluelessly suggested a drug overdose.

Chronicles the life and times of the first musical superstar from the third world to gain a global audience, with the reggae singer's posthumous Legend album selling some 25 million copies.

In the end, it's just good, comprehensive storytelling, a film that justifies the legend rather than hypes it.

Gradually, the dreadlocks, the music and the cloud of ganja smoke come together to form as recognisable an image as that of the equally short-lived Che Guevara.

The film never shows us Marley in a complete performance. It's hard to understand the magic of a man whose most awesome moments are reduced to edited snippets.

It smartly captures his dynamic personality both through the words of those who knew him, and more importantly, through his enduring music.

Bettina Elias Siegel: Congressman Jared Polis Revisits 'Pizza = School Food Vegetable'

One of the most dismaying aspects of the recent?passage of new federal school meal standards?was the collective caving by Congress to pressure from various food manufacturers seeking to protect profits.

The most notorious of these episodes was the fight over the continued classification of pizza as a school food vegetable.?To recap: ?a quirk in prior regulations allowed schools to count pizza as a school meal vegetable serving due to the nutritional content of the tomato paste. When the USDA, following a sensible recommendation from the Institute of Medicine, sought to change that rule, huge food companies like Schwan and ConAgra -- major producers of frozen pizza for the National School Lunch Program -- went into high gear and successfully lobbied against the change.?(More background?here and here.) ?It was a stark, depressing demonstration of the power of corporate interests versus children's health.

But based on conversations I'd had with a source on the Hill, I noted in my last Lunch Tray post on "pizza = vegetable" that the battle was lost but the war was not necessarily over: ?the agricultural spending bill that gutted the pizza rule will expire at the end of the current fiscal year, i.e, September 2012, creating an opportunity to revisit the issue.

Well, it looks like Congressman Jared Polis (D-Colo.) is seeking to take advantage of that window.?He's just introduced new legislation, cleverly named the SLICE Act?(School Lunch Improvements for Children's Education) which, according to his website, would seek to:

implement healthful standards to pizza in public schools in three significant ways:

• Allow the USDA to accurately count 1/8 of a cup of tomato paste as 1/8 of a cup, instead of half of a cup, which qualifies pizza as a vegetable;
• Allow the USDA to implement science-based sodium reduction targets; and,
• Allow the USDA to set a whole grain requirement.

Given the demonstrated, unstoppable power of the food lobby to quash even the most modest anti-obesity efforts over the last few years (and if you haven't read the Reuters article referenced in the foregoing hyperlink, I urge you to do so),?I have no reason to believe this bill will be any more successful than the last attempt to change this outmoded rule.

But hey, a school food blogger can dream.

And, regardless, kudos to Rep. Polis for keeping the issue alive and reminding us that:

Agribusinesses should never dictate the quality of school meals. ... Big food companies have their priorities, which include selling cheap, unhealthy foods at high profits. But parents and schools have their priorities; making sure our kids eat right because research shows a clear connection between nutrition and student performance in school.

Amen.
