"Adding a splash of colourful seasonal foods to your plate makes for more than just a festive meal. A rainbow of foods creates a palette of nutrients, each with a different bundle of potential benefits for a healthful eating plan," says registered dietitian and ADA Spokesperson Karen Ansel.
"Healthy eating includes more than counting calories alone. In fact, most children don't get enough of all the essential nutrients critical to normal growth and development," says Ansel.
"Food variety supplies different nutrients, so to maximize the nutritional value of your meal, include healthful choices in a variety of colours."

ESSENTIALS [Frank Oz Edition]
Frank Oz
AKA Richard Frank Oznowicz
Born: 25-May-1944
Birthplace: Hereford, England
Occupation: Actor, Film Director
Father: Isidore Oznowicz (puppeteer)
Mother: Frances Oznowicz (puppeteer)
Wife: Robin Garsen (m. 12-Dec-1979, two children
Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Yoda, Miss Piggy, and The Stepford Wives
Frank Oz is a puppeteer and motion picture director. He created many of the voices and operated "Muppets" for Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, and he has directed movies such as Little Shop of Horrors and The Stepford Wives. He was born to puppeteer parents in England, who emigrated to the United States when he was five years old. Oz played with puppets from a very early age, started staging his own puppet shows at 12, and was an accomplished amateur puppeteer by high school.
Jim Henson met Oz at a California convention of puppeteers, and hired Oz in 1963. They worked together for decades. Oz performed an early version of the Cookie Monster for Our Place, a children's show that aired on CBS in 1967, and Henson, Oz, and the Muppets became cornerstones of Western culture with the debut of Sesame Street in 1969, followed by The Muppet Show and later a series of Muppet movies. Oz's Muppet characters include Bert, Grover, Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, the Cookie Monster, Sam the Eagle, Swedish Chef, and most famously, Yoda, the oracle of wisdom in the Star Wars movies. Producer George Lucas gave Oz a great deal of leeway in designing Yoda's appearance, and the character's reversed grammar was Oz's idea.
In 1982, Henson and Oz co-directed The Dark Crystal, a fantasy told through puppetry. Oz alone directed The Muppets Take Manhattan, and later Little Shop of Horrors, where more than two dozen puppeteers operated an enormous man-eating plant-puppet. But Little Shop was mostly a live-action film, and its success made Oz a bankable Hollywood director, puppets or no puppets. As a director, Oz's credits include Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, What About Bob?, HouseSitter, In & Out, Bowfinger, and The Stepford Wives. Oz has also appeared in cameo roles in several films. He's the corrections officer who hands John Belushi his possessions as he's discharged from Joliet Prison in The Blues Brothers, and he's the cop who takes Dan Aykroyd's stuff when he's jailed in Trading Places.

The Silent Boatman Lyrics
It is said that when we leave this world
If we have suffered we will be saved
So I'll lift up my head, whoever I am
What I cannot do here, there's a place that I can
I'm waiting for the silent boatman
To ferry me across the unknown waters
In this life, though I've tried
Many things couldn't be
Closed minds with faces looking down onto me
Parting means grief, but only for those left
All men descend into earth at the very same depth
I'm waiting for the silent boatman
To ferry me across the unknown waters
I wonder if in death, man at last can love man
Stripped of all life's gifts to him
No ego to remain
When you reach Jordan's bank, there's no money, power or fame
No third or second class, the fare is all the same
I'm waiting for the silent boatman (silent boatman)
To ferry me across the unknown waters (unknown waters)
(x10)

Breakfast At Tiffany's [Starring Marilyn Monroe?]
Ella Rouge - Holly Golightly
Stan Getz Quintet - Autumn Leaves
Cal Tjader - Azucar Mama
Funkadelic - As Good As I Can Feel
Henry Mancini - Latin Golightly
Charlie Parker - My Old Flame
The Bela Sanders Orchestra - Moon River
Miles Davis & John Coltrane - 'Round Midnight
Lester Young with Oscar Peterson Trio - Almost Like Being In Love
When I heard that Marilyn Monroe was originally to play Holly Golightly in the motion picture release Breakfast At Tiffany's I laughed...and then made this new soundtrack. Certainly it is not an absurd thought that Monroe could portryaa woman who would get paid to "go to the powder room"; we are simply stalled at price negotiations.
With Audrey Hepburn, at the high end, receiving $50 for her services; how much would Marilyn fetch? If this were 1960, that may may have been a perfect water cooler question of the moment but, in fact, this 2010 and you need to keep your fookin' ass far away from the H.R. office.

What Would Jarvis Do?

John Lennon is said to have selected it as one of his favourite songs by The Beatles. In 1987, Lennon's original handwritten lyrics of the song, containing 14 lines and some "doodles" in the margin, sold at auction for $19,500.
TerenceTrent D'Arby adopted the name Sananda Maitreya, following a series of dreams and he legally changed his name on October 4, 2001. He proclaimed in an interview that "Terence Trent D'Arby was dead... he watched his suffering as he died a noble death", in what was perceived as an attempt to reinvent himself artistically and free himself from what he believed to be the oppressive nature of the record business.

Jarvis & the Amazing Technocratic DreamMix

To facilitate equilibrium between man and nature, Technocracy proposed that citizens would receive Energy Certificates in order to operate the economy:
Energy Certificates are issued individually to every adult of the entire population& The record of one s income and its rate of expenditure is kept by the Distribution Sequence, so that it is a simple matter at any time for the Distribution Sequence to ascertain the state of a given customer s balance& When making purchases of either goods or services an individual surrenders the Energy Certificates properly identified and signed.
The significance of this, from the point of view of knowledge of what is going on in the social system, and of social control, can best be appreciated when one surveys the whole system in perspective. First, one single organization is manning and operating the whole social mechanism. The same organization not only produces but also distributes all goods and services. [Technocracy Study Course, Hubbert & Scott, p. 238-239]
If you study the card above, you will note that contains a microchip as it serves as a universal identity card. This reflects Technocracy’s philosophy that each person in society must be meticulously monitored and accounted for in order to track what they consume in terms of energy, and also what they contribute to the manufacturing process.
Personal carbon rationing would be a UK-wide allowance system covering the carbon emissions generated from the fossil fuel energy used by individuals within the home and for personal transport, including carbon equivalent emissions from air travel. It would account for around half of current UK carbon emissions from energy. The primary aim of the scheme would be to deliver guaranteed levels of carbon savings in successive years in an equitable way. The government’s current target of a 60% reduction by 2050, or more stringent targets, would assuredly be met in this way.
Les Beat Girls have been pretty quiescent on Zen Running Order, but we were inspired by Doowad & Johnny Luddite's wonderful "Just the Facts, Man." We're the type of gals who've always believed that having answers is no more important than raising questions (though neither is as important as raising hell). So we decided to take our own swing at the technique. Here is the result.
