• Research is now showing that five spices we've long savored just for their flavor are also nutritional powerhouses. Courtesy of yahoo.

• Today I saw/heard the Kaiser Chiefs' "Everything is average nowadays"--I was surprised, because based on this song I would say I liked their music, but based on "Ruby" (which has gotten so much airplay this year!) alone, I wouldn't. But the video to "Ruby" is cool. Do they exist in the US? Overall I'd probably still find them a little dark (lyrically) for my taste, but now I'm willing to listen to more of their stuff to see if I like it.
