98% of American Diets Are Potassium Deficient - NutritionFacts.org - Less than 2% of Americans achieve even the recommended minimum adequate intake of potassium. Here's a link to the most potassium-rich foods (surprisingly, bananas don't even make the top 50...): http://goo.gl/nwcps

Social relevance, algorithms and choice.

In response to user queries over strange stream behaviour, Googlers confirmed that they were "experimenting with ways of bringing the most relevant posts to the top" sparking fears of the introduction of an Edgerank style relevance algorithm.

This brings back to the fore the debate over who should filter the social web: the user or the network.

Richard Branson in Drag
Haha! I just checked Richard Branson's G+ page, and i didn't see this photo on display (and i can understand why, lol!). Just a little advice, Richard: When dressing in drag, it's more effective to first shave the beard.

Testing a new-fangled Mashable G+ / app integration (otherwise I would hardly be caught dead sharing anything from Mashable... that glorified content farm... hehe).

Presumably this will add some sort of do-hickey at the bottom of the Mashable G+ post? We shall see...

BTW I posted the same post this is referencing (in Mashable's near "infinite wisdom" yesterday.... 2 days ago...

Musical Genre Space - Mapped (sort of)
Wowie! This is quite an interesting page for music lovers — "Every Noise at Once." It's "an algorithmically-generated non-analytical map of the musical genre-space."

You can click on any one of the genres to hear an example of what it sounds like, and you can click on the double right-pointing arrows on a genre to see a map of its artists.

What do you think?

Famous vegan, after 12 years without meat, has started eating meat again Alex Jamieson is eating meat again, because she believes her body craved it and needs it (at least, her body). I'm trying to become a full-time vegan — now eating salmon, shrimp, and a rare piece of lean beef when i crave it. 

If you are vegan, do you ever crave meat? Please let me know your comments.

Rumor: Google may open retails stores just to sell Glass!

+Business Insider says a "secondhand source" claims Google plans to open retail stores just to sell Google Glass.

I don't buy it. But I can see Google opening all-purpose stores that strongly highlight and promote Glass:

LEFTOVER ROAST CHICKEN SALAD WITH SPICY PEANUT DRESSING

I promised myself I wouldn't cook today, so I scrounged around the fridge and came up with this salad of:

- the last of the lettuce mix (using the container as my bowl)
- a small avocado
- half a red bell pepper left over from cooking something else last week
- the last of last week's roast chicken breast
- some cucumber, cilantro and onion

and dressed it with a dressing made of the leftover Spicy Peanut Dressing from yesterday's Summer Roll lunch, a little more olive oil, and a healthy squeeze of lemon.

And that was pretty tasty.

Fruit Smoothie - Healthiest Ingredients

When making your fruit smoothies, include lots of fresh or frozen fruits. Extra ripe bananas and berries are particularly good options, but most fruits work. For extra nutrition, consider including a handful of greens or a small amount of avocado, cooked carrots or beets. You can increase the fiber and your intake of healthy fats by adding flaxseeds or nuts to your smoothie. Healthy liquid options include 100-percent fruit juice, low-fat milk, soy milk, almond milk, water and green tea.

Really? Most of the Added Sugar in Our Diets Comes From Sugary Drinks

Nearly 70 percent of the calories from added sugars that Americans eat on a daily basis come from processed foods like breads, jams, cakes and ice cream.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that most of the added sugar in the American diet comes not from beverages, but from food.

There are patterns to relapse.  This is not new.  The problem is alcoholics don't see their own behavior, recognize the triggers and work on being aware of them.  This a good article about predicting a relapse but, the alcoholic him/her self is the only one in control of stopping/preventing it.
