At the time of our review, availability of the ZenWatch is unfortunately still limited.During the festive holidays we, as a rule, stop counting calories and treat ourselves to delicious food. But luckily, researchers don’t stop counting how much food is wasted at Christmas, to open our eyes to this problem. In the UK alone, 7 million tonnes of food is thrown away, while it’s estimated that in the USA 25% more food is wasted during the festive season. Do you want to help reduce such statistics? Wherever you are, try our tips to reduce your Christmas food waste this year!
Festive traditions differ between countries, regions, and families. And of course, there’s no need to cook traditional dishes if your family doesn’t like them. Take into account the dietary needs or preferences of your guests, and adapt meals accordingly. A large turkey, in a room where half your guests are vegetarians, will only go to waste.
Hosting a big family Christmas or New Year’s Eve dinner can cause justifiable anxiety; everybody wants their guests to be full and happy. But often we start overbuying in a panic. That’s why we recommend planning not just what you buy but also how much. Use a food portion calculator to minimise your chances of waste. You’ll save not only food, but also time and money.
When the Christmas shopping list is written, don’t immediately rush to the supermarket. Look over your storage shelves beforehand; we bet you already have a few items, such as spices and herbs, at home. If you do buy something you already have, use the older product first, as it will expire sooner.
Buy loose produce rather than pre-packaged food. That way you’ll only purchase the amount you actually need.  Bonus points if you take your reusable bags and containers with you to the store!
No matter whether it’s a secret family recipe for cooking brussel sprouts, or a well-known food blogger's recipe, stick to it. Especially if the rest of the year your cooking skills are normally restricted to heating up a frozen pizza! If you follow a recipe, you know that at least one person on Earth has already successfully made a delicious dish using this method. It means less chance of disaster, resulting in you having to cook another dish in a hurry (which would of course mean buying more food).
Cooking for a crowd can be overwhelming, so it’s totally OK to ask your guests to bring a dish with them. But give them instructions on what they should bring to avoid duplications. And if you’re sure you can handle everything on your own, ask your guests not to bring anything.
We firmly believe you can have a minimum waste Christmas table. But unfortunately, unless you can predict the future(!), having zero festive leftovers is a fiction. That’s why we advise you to check out these quick and tasty leftovers recipes to use up the remaining food.
Did you cook too much? Did a guest not turn up? Were you too busy with festive fun to taste all the dishes?  You can only store cooked food in a fridge for a couple of days. But it can be kept fresh from 1 month to 1 year in a freezer; check this chart for storage recommendations. And don’t forget to organise your freezer in advance to make sure there’s enough room.
Offer to deliver food via local Facebook groups or share it through dedicated apps.
And one final tip! If you’ve done your best, but there is still waste food after Christmas—don’t just bin it; compost it. The planet will thank you for it—as at least then the land will get the extra nutrition, even if you can’t. Happy holidays, and bon appetit!
Serving both a fantastic Christmas dinner and producing minimal food waste is a totally doable task. Get ready for an eco-friendly holiday feast with our tips!
Never underestimate the power of hatred. Loathing someone so much, can unite even those who don't flip over "each other" too much.
Hatred motivates you. It propels you. It drives you.
There's a lot of hatred in the Democratic National Convention and it’s focused on one man: George Bush (search).
 And those are among the nicer comments!
But the fact that I'm hearing it from so many so often in this predictably so partisan gathering tells me John Kerry's going to have a tough time keeping the Bush-bashing frenzy from bubbling.
Again, don't dismiss hatred. Don't dismiss how it's unifying a party and focusing a ticket. It's strong enough to bury platform battles and all but quash demonstrations.
These notoriously pre-scripted affairs are more so here this year than most years. Because this year, these guys smell blood and revenge and victory.
There's a lot many here don't share. There are the mad-as-hell Democrats led by Howard Dean, who'd prefer to hear their party more anti-war. And there are just mad — but not mad as hell — Democrats led by people like Al Sharpton, who'd prefer to see their party more anti-Wall Street.
They don't like the Party's stand on all issues, but they are united on one issue: George Bush.
They hate him here and that's why they feel the love here.

February 16, 2013 RSS FEEDLeave a Comment on Walmart Internal Emails: Sales Figures a "Total Disaster"
Bloomberg got its hands on some internal emails exchanged by Walmart (WMT) executives discussing recent sales figures, and they don’t paint a rosy picture.
We already knew that retail sales were going to struggle to begin the year. The expiration of the payroll tax holiday meant consumers had less spending money in their pockets. And indeed, the first retail sales report since the end of the tax holiday showed spending growth grinding almost to a halt, with sales increasing just 0.1%.
That’s not the kind of talk shareholders want to hear, and Walmart stocked predictably nose-dived in response to the news. Shares were down almost 3% on the day to close trading Friday.
Walmart’s fourth-quarter results are due out next week, which means that it will be May before we get to see the first-quarter results that have Walmart’s executives in such a tizzy. Once the Street gets a peek at those numbers, we’ll see whether shareholders continue to believe Walmart’s everything-is-fine spin — or if they agree that the sky really is falling in Bentonville.
see i dont think they should get penalized for this.  I think it's like throwing a decoying nade on cache at the beginning of the round perfectly so it lands @ squeaky door... yeah it's cheeky, yeah it should be fixed, but until it's done and stated that it's not allowed and then patched out of the game, I thought that it was just creative, a skillful find, and should be applauded as brilliant, not
