This is future mom Stefaney Giordano's R2-D2 painted pregnant belly. I like the perspective of R2's head, that was a nice touch rather than just a top-down version. Now according to my estimates, I put Stefaney at like, what, two months pregnant? I'm not very good at these things. Also, is that dress made specifically for exposing your bare pregnant belly? Because I bet my gut would look pretty sweet in one of those. *jiggling belly* What do you think? "I think I literally just saw full, unbroken Doritos fall from between your fat rolls." Well that's embarrassing. But be honest with me -- did they look fresh or stale? Keep going for two more shots.

This is a 1965 Volkswagen microbus that's been meticulously restored and stretched into a limo. It's up for sale on eBay now for $220,000, which could probably get you just about any other car you've ever dreamed of. Maybe two. Maybe even with enough left over for a decent pre-owned jetpack. The bus was restored with only the finest in high-end parts, has 33 windows, custom sound and light systems, and can seat you and up to eleven of your best friends. Don't have any friends? Welcome to the club. I meet at the bar and just stare at my beer and slowly peel the label off. Keep going for a bunch more shots.

Everything you love about lasagna – all in one bowl of soup! Loaded with chicken sausage, lasagna noodles, marinara and cheese. It's easy, filling, hearty and perfect for a cold winter night.


This soup is SO darn good! Very family friendly – my kids love it! The dallop of ricotta on top really makes it! I used chicken sausage which gave it such great flavor.

Some of my favorite soups are those that are adapted from classic meals. A few examples of this: my Stuffed Pepper Soup, Baked Potato Soup, Chicken Pot Pie Soup, Slow Cooker Chicken Enchilada Soup, and in my cookbook my yummy stuffed cabbage soup.

What I love about turning classic dishes like lasagna into soup is that it's a great way to enjoy those dishes with less calories and it's all made in one pot meal!

As the internet becomes a bigger part of our lives, security has become ever more important. In 2014, we saw the terrible things that can happen to people whose online accounts are not properly secured, from stolen nude photos to leaked corporate emails.

One of the most important things you can do to secure your online identity is to choose a good password. Unfortunately, as this list from the password management company SplashData makes clear, not everyone is doing that:

1. 123456
2. password
3. 12345
4. 12345678
5. qwerty
6. 1234567890
7. 1234
8. baseball
9. dragon
10. football
11. 1234567
12. monkey
13. letmein
14. abc123
15. 111111
16. mustang
17. access
18. shadow
19. master
20. michael
21. superman
22. 696969
23. 123123
24. batman
25. trustno1

These are the 25 most popular passwords, as harvested from a list of 3.3 million passwords that were leaked during 2014. These 25 passwords account for more than 2 percent of all passwords in the data set.

What this means is that if you pick one of these passwords — or others like them — you're setting yourself up to have your account compromised. When selecting a password, don't choose sequences of digits ("123456"), common keyboard patterns ("asdfgh"), superhero names ("superman") or the names of your favorite sport or sports team ("football").

What should you do instead? The best passwords are completely random sequences of letters, numbers, and symbols — something like "a4b*CB34U!tz." Of course, normal people can't easily remember passwords like that especially if — as security experts recommend — you use different passwords on different sensitive sites.

So one good strategy is to use a password manager to keep track of your passwords. Or you can use my personal strategy: write down your passwords on a scrap of paper and store that in your purse or wallet. This way your passwords will be readily available to you, but totally inaccessible to hackers located somewhere else in the world.

Eating fish during pregnancy could be beneficial after all, say researchers from the University of Rochester Medical Center who voyaged to the Seychelles to study the benefits of nutrients found in fish and the risk associated with mercury exposure.

Over three decades, more than 1,500 mothers and their children were observed, with results indicating that eating fish in as many as 12 meals per week does not lead to defects in the developing fetus.

Mercury makes way into the world's oceans both naturally and as a result of man-made constructs such as coal plants.
Compounds in fish such as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) could counteract the damage that mercury causes in the brain, according to the study, which was published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

"These findings show no overall association between prenatal exposure to mercury through fish consumption and neurodevelopmental outcomes," says Edwin van Wijngaarden, Ph.D., and associate professor in the University of Rochester

Department of Public Health Sciences and a co-author of the study. "It is also becoming increasingly clear that the benefits of fish consumption may outweigh, or even mask, any potentially adverse effects of mercury."

Participating women were tested for the amount of prenatal mercury exposure while they were pregnant and the research team used hair samples to gather their data.

At 20 months of age, the mothers allowed their babies to undergo a battery of tests to assess their motor and communication skills as well as their behavior, with researchers concluding that mercury exposure did not correlate with low test scores.

The researchers also tested the women for the presence of PUFA during their pregnancies and concluded that children whose mothers had high levels of n3 -- also known as omega-3 -- fatty acids found in fish performed particularly well on tests.

These n3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory properties, according to the researchers, whereas similar ones like the n6 -- omega-6 -- fatty acids found in meats and oils are known to promote inflammation.

According to the researchers, inflammation is the vehicle by which mercury inflicts damage, which explains why the anti-inflammatory fatty acids lead to favorable results.

"These findings indicate that there may be an optimal balance between the different inflammatory properties of fatty acids that promote fetal development and that these mechanisms warrant further study," says senior author Philip Davidson, PhD, a professor emeritus at U of R.

The Seychelles, an archipelago of 115 islands in the Indian Ocean off Southeast Africa, were selected for the study because the approximately 89,000 residents consume 10 times more fish than the populations of the US and Europe.

Years ago, Hello Kitty notebooks and stickers and little doll houses were coveted by little girls, and not often found in American stores. Now, Hello Kitty is everywhere you look and as much beloved as she was years ago.  She’s also helping Raymond Cheng attract children to his community organic garden program in Hong Kong. Cheng was searching for a way to get more kids involved in his program, when he had the bright idea to employ one of the world’s most popular felines as his mascot. Now his farm has exploded as both a place for growing food and an attraction – all thanks to Hello Kitty.

In a foodie's ideal daydream, they would be sipping on freshly squeezed pomegranate juice from Dubai in the morning and eating Hainanese chicken rice in Singapore at night.

Food markets are spread across continents and while each one has its own unique offerings, there are some markets out there that have become foodie favourites.

From Montreal's Atwater Market that sells everything from South Asian lunches to fancy chocolates, to Barcelona's Mercat de Galvany that has an array of fresh fruits and vegetables, you may want to consider hitting up a new travel destination this year in the name of food.

Fairmont Hotels and Resorts has come up with an infographic of the best food markets (according to foodies, of course), to help you navigate through some of world's best (and cheapest!) street spots. Each market also includes information about the type of stalls (so much cheese!) and must-try foods at each location.

In previous National Geographic's ranking of the world's top food markets, Toronto's St. Lawrence Market was the only Canadian destination on the list.

Check out the full infographic below and let us know if you've checked out any of these spots:

The U.S. scores poorly when it comes to Wi-Fi quality compared to Europe and Asia. Pictured is a Wi-Fi-equipped hotel guest room at the ZAN Hotel in Voineasa, Romania. Mihai Dragomirescu / Flickr

As the conversation about hotel Wi-Fi continues querying whether or not it’s available and free at a property, some hotels forget free Wi-Fi means nothing if connection speeds don’t resemble elite marathon runners.

And apparently the race isn’t on at American hotels, since about 80% of the top 50 most frequently tested countries on hotelwifitest have better quality Wi-Fi than the U.S. The U.S. sits at number 40, behind Brazil, China, and Russia, (among others) but ahead of France and Spain. Hotels in more than 4,000 cities around the world have Wi-Fi test results on the site, with 241 hotels in Manhattan and 83 in San Francisco alone showing results.

The U.S. score is 35.9% for hotelwifitest’s ranking which considers all tests since the site was founded in 2013. The New York Hilton Midtown’s average tested speed is 16.2 megabits per second (Mbps) and The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park is 1.2 Mbps, for example.

South Korea’s 92% score makes it the best country for Wi-Fi quality, and the first page of results for Seoul, South Korea show much higher scores than New York City’s first page, as the Grand InterContinental Seoul Parnas average speed is 26.2 Mbps and the Grand Hyatt Seoul is 15.9 Mbps.

Japan (84.9%) has the second highest score, though only half of hotels tested in that country offer free Wi-Fi. These scores correlate to Asia having the best Wi-Fi overall, scoring 50% and narrowly besting Europe (46%).

If free Wi-Fi access matters more to guests, U.S. hotels have a lot to offer seeing as 85.4% tested around the country offer some type of free access.

Portland, Oregon is the U.S. city with the best hotel Wi-Fi, scoring 66.7% and is tied with Albuquerque, New Mexico and Austin, Texas for the free access hotels in these cities offer (86.7%). Stockholm, Sweden’s hotels have the best W-Fi for an international city (88.9) and 89.5% of hotels in that city offer free access.

This is a video from the Super-Fan Builds webseries (previously: a Hobbit-hole litter box and Bioshock aquarium) documenting the construction of a custom Batmobile stroller for young Collin and his father Josh. It turns out pretty amazing. Sure it'll take up the whole sidewalk, but does it not deserve to? Of all the baby strollers I've seen in my life, this is definitely the one I'd be most willing to step into the street for. Will I get hit by a bus? Probably. Will Batman save me? God no, just look at him -- he's like two years old and can barely stop staring at that lollipop. Sometimes I wish you spent more time living in reality with the rest of us. Keep going for the video.

You know what the best part about soup is? You can still eat it even with no teeth. That will come in handy when we're all 400-years old. You know what the worst parts are? A lot of times it's too hot, bland, and it's easy to spill. Plus it's not a steak. This is the Nessie Ladle designed by OTOTO and available from Animi Causa ($16). It makes it look like there's a little cartoonish Nessie swimming around in your soup pot. Plus it's functional! I'd have to say of all modern mythical beasts, I think Nessie is my favorite. Followed by Bigfoot, Santa, and the Bogeyman. Most people don't like the idea of a Bogeyman living in their closet, but I'm pretty desperate for a friend right now. Plus like, every night could be a sleepover. Thanks to TBTMH, who agrees the best soup isn't found at Souplantation, no matter that their radio ads might say.

In August of last year, a copper mine owned by Buenavista del Cobre, a subsidiary of Grupo Mexico, spilled 10.5 million gallons of copper sulphate acid into Cananea, Mexico’s public waterways.  Called the “worst environmental disaster by the mining industry in modern times” by Mexican Secretary of the Environment and Natural Resources Juan Jose Guerra Abud, the disaster has devastated the local environment and, even worse, there are still no signs of any clean-up efforts.

A new study shows our forests will be less magnificent in the future, thanks to climate change. Since the 1930s, California has lost more than half of its largest trees—those over two feet in diameter—and it is highly doubtful the next generation of trees growing in their place will ever be as lofty as their giant predecessors. That’s based on a recent study published by Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences that looked at 46,000 square miles of California forest. According to Grist, the main factors in the stunting of tree growth include dwindling snow pack and rising temperatures, which are leading to an unreliable water supply in the dry seasons. And they found no areas of forest were immune to the effects.

Fake, the shadows are all wrong! You can tell it's fake because there's no horribly misspelled name on the cup. Nice try, Starbucks marketing. This is the Starbucks cup some random customer allegedly decorated with a detailed map of Middle Earth. Did he draw it all from memory? No clue, but I'm kind of blown away at the time and effort this must have taken. Most people have jobs. Or at least sit around Starbucks on laptops pretending to have jobs and not doodling on their cups. Personally, whenever I go to Starbucks I try to get in and out of there as quick as possible without any employees noticing I just used their bathroom without buying anything. Keep going for two more shots of espresso.

Is Vancouver the sushi capital of the world? Probably not! Cod it be the sole sushi capital of Canada? We like to think so! From standard California rolls, to takoyaki, Vancouver eel-y has it all. And we're not shellfish, we'll share..

Kishimoto Japanese Kitchen
Oh Kishimoto, you paragon of sushi goodness! Sure, the wait is usually long, but it's always worth it. Get your name on the list, then glue yourself to the window and stare longingly in at the diners -- bonus, if you're creepy enough they might leave and you'll get a table faster! Food presentation is impeccable here -- get the caterpillar roll, if for no other reason than to fall in love with its tiny antennae (then eat them mercilessly!). Still hungry? The okonomiyaki is absolutely unmissable here.

Toshi Sushi
Aside from having a perfectly pleasant rhyming name, Toshi has some of the best food around. The miso black cod is heaven, and if you're feeling ocean-friendly, the spicy agedashi tofu will get your tastebuds tingling, and the miso eggplant will send you over the edge! This place is tiny so, again, be prepared to wait -- it's worth it! There are no frills here but the food is outstanding, and you will leave stuffed and happy!

Ajisai Sushi Bar
The rolls here are slightly smaller than in the rest of the Lower Mainland, and you will wait for a table, but trust us -- it'll be worth it. There's very little hot food, so come for the rolls and stay for the tataki! For a hit of unusual, try the smoked salmon battera -- the sundried tomato and basil combo will melt your face. Order the seafood salad for a light bite, and revel in the crunchy cereal topping.

Guu With Garlic
Boisterous, loud, intense, delicious -- these are the words you associate with Guu. Always busy, the servers and chefs always exclaim loudly when new folks walk in, or diners leave -- true Izakaya style. The food is carefully crafted deliciousness -- get the tuna with sesame oil for a light bite, the ebi mayo if you're craving some deep-fried goodness, and if you need warming up, their hotpot is a must-have.

Sushi Mart Vancouver
I know, I know, but hear us out. It may have "Mart" in the name, but this little gem will knock your socks off. A great and reasonably priced spot to grab your lunch, get it to go, or sit with your complimentary miso soup and tea at the communal table, and people watch until your food arrives. You really can't go wrong with anything you order here -- but get the chirashi don, you won't be disappointed.

Miku
Sure, it's expensive, but the view is unbeatable, and the ambiance unmatched -- not to mention the freshness of the fish and the tastiness of their flavours. Being located right next to Canada Place gives you a stunning view out over the North Shore mountains -- talk about romantic! For a gorgeous dish, try the ebi oshi aburi sushi, not just fun to say, but delicious to eat, too! Or if you want to keep it simple, order the sashimi and savour the fresh ocean flavours (but not in a weird way).

Shizen Ya
Perfect for those people who are into the whole organic scene. They carry brown rice, and quinoa sushi, which is worth the trip in itself. The menu is small, but expertly curated, and the vegetarian and gluten-free items are highlighted -- so no guesswork here. You will pay a premium for this kind of quality, but who cares! Try the sakura blossom roll, and the tuna tataki -- all the fish is local so you know it's hella fresh.

Kingyo
Killer atmosphere, and some of the hippest servers in town. Don't be shy to ask for help deciding what to eat -- the menu is vast but you really can't go wrong, so if you just want to close your eyes and point, it's a pretty safe bet. Again, this is a slightly pricier spot, but when you have dishes like the smoked salmon wrap, you will quickly forget to care. For a twist on the Korean classic, try the sea urchin bibimbap, or to keep it more traditional, grab the Kingyo negitoro sushi.

Hitoe Sushi Japanese Restaurant
Another tiny spot that is gluten-free friendly! The first two pages of their menu are dedicated to gluten-free items, so celiacs: eat here without fear! But first you'll have to find it. Hitoe is a hidden gem, so happy hunting! The unagi cream cheese roll is melt-in-your-mouth good, and the spicy salmon sashimi will knock your socks off. The focus here is on fresh fish, and the quality definitely stands out. Gorge yourself without guilt!

1. In a new financing round, SpaceX announced that it's raised $1 billion from Google and Fidelity, valuing the company at roughly $10 billion.
2. Last week, SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said that the company plans to build a new satellite-based global internet network, and Google has previously experimented with aerial internet networks.
3. It's widely speculated that the two companies plan to partner on a satellite internet service.

What SpaceX and Google might be planning

We don't know for sure, but lots of people now think that this deal could be a sign the two companies are going to partner on a satellite-based internet network. This sort of network could bring internet access to unconnected areas that don't have telecommunications lines — particularly in the developing world.

Google's ambitions in this area have been clear for a while now. In 2013, it launched an experimental network called Project Loon, made up of large balloons that floated above New Zealand, allowing users on the ground to connect to a wireless internet network. But there was a lot of skepticism around the balloon plan.

Google has also been developing a satellite-based system, though that too has faced hurdles. In September, the leader of Google's satellite project, Greg Wyler, left the company to form his own satellite-internet company called OneWeb.

Now, it seems that Google may be looking to partner with SpaceX — a rocket manufacturing and launching company — to build a new satellite network. (Before founding OneWeb, Wyler also reportedly negotiated with SpaceX — but a deal never materialized.)

(SpaceX)

Musk has described SpaceX's planned network of communications satellites in pretty grandiose terms: "Our focus is on creating a global communications system that would be larger than anything that has been talked about to date," he told Bloomberg Businessweek.

He said he'd do this with hundreds of micro-satellites in low Earth orbit (much closer to us than the geosynchronous satellites typically used for communication, which orbit at about 22,000 miles above sea level, allowing them to remain above one spot on Earth over time). Using lasers to send signals from satellite to satellite, Musk claimed, would allow data to be transmitted over vast distances much faster than it is currently, through ground-based networks. He even alluded to the possibility that the network could someday be used to create a communications network with Mars.

Of course, there are plenty of reasons to be skeptical of the plan. One obvious one, as the Wall Street Journal points out, is that the use of lasers to send data from satellites to the ground isn't reliable all the time, as they can be hindered by bad weather. And the backup option — using radio waves — might be tricky, as neither SpaceX nor Google own the rights to the spectrum they'd likely need to beam signals down from these satellites to potential users. Google, in fact, lost some spectrum rights to Wyler when he left the company in September.

Musk said the satellite network would cost $10 billion in total, and take at least five years to build. He has previously avoided giving up any control of SpaceX whenever possible, but in taking this deal, just gave up nearly ten percent of the company — so it may be a sign that he's pretty serious about trying to build it.

Correction: This post originally said that using lasers to send data between satellites (rather than from satellites to the ground) wasn't always reliable.

Excessive sitting is tied to all kinds of health problems, and a new, massive study finds that you can't counteract them with just an hour of exercise each day, though it still helps.

Toronto researchers pooled data from 41 studies and found that regardless of exercise regimen, prolonged sitting increases the risk of heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and death.

The review, out this week in Annals of Internal Medicine, showed that people who exercised regularly but sat for long periods had higher risk of serious illness or premature death. Those who didn't exercise often fared worse. The increased risks come from your activity levels across the entire day.

The definition of prolonged sitting ranged from eight hours a day to 12 hours or more in the studies the review analyzed. Really though, a person shouldn't be sitting more than four or five hours a day, the researchers say.

The biggest risk from sitting for long periods of time was a 90 percent higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, according to the review. There was also a significant association between a sedentary lifestyle and breast, uterine, ovarian, and colon cancers.

A body functions differently when sedentary

Researchers also tried to get at the question: why is sitting so bad? Their best guess is that sitting for long stretches of time leads to metabolic changes in the muscles. They're still not well understood, but one likely explanation is that idle muscle cells release much lower amounts of lipase, an enzyme that's important for eliminating fats from the bloodstream and maintaining high levels of "good" cholesterol.

Another likely cause is that our bodies become more resistant to insulin when consistently sedentary. The expression of genes involved in suppressing inflammation is also altered when we sit, and may contribute to the increased cancer rates observed in people who sit a lot.

Ultimately, all of these mechanisms — along with others we still haven't detected — probably contribute to the insidious health cost of sitting all day.

You burn 50 fewer calories per hour when sitting

There's another, more obvious side effect spending a full day in a chair: you burn fewer calories sitting all day, compared to standing or walking. This is because your leg muscles need to work to keep you upright and balanced, expending some energy.

It varies widely from person to person, but it's estimated that you burn an extra 50 calories per hour when standing, compared to sitting. This might not sound like a lot, but it adds up if you sit for eight hours per day, five days a week.

Standing just half that time means you'll burn an extra 1000 calories each week without changing your diet or exercise. Do it for a year, and that's about 50,000 extra calories — the rough equivalent of running 15 marathons.

So what should you do?

Simplified Building/ Flickr

The researchers recommend getting up to stand or walk for a few minutes every half hour. Pace while you're on the phone, have a standing meeting, or put your trash can further from your desk so you have to walk to it. If you want to try a standing desk, experts suggest taking sitting breaks to cut down on heel and knee strain.

At home, you can use commercial breaks to take a quick walk. Research has shown that people break up sedentary periods with short walking breaks have lower rates of obesity and other risk factors for diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

Note: Really been struggling. I'll be back full blast tomorrow, promise. This is an infographic comparing an internet minute in 2013 versus one in 2014. I learned a lot. Mostly that it would make a lot more sense to have the numbers right next to each other. Thanks to David, who made the chart or at least had something to do with it and probably doesn't appreciate my constructive criticism.

By 2050, huge areas of the US coast could be subject to more than 30 days of flooding each year, thanks to accelerating sea level rise from global warming. Recent data from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association identifies 2050 as the “tipping point” for nuisance flooding, which refers to floods that see water levels 1 to 2 feet above local high tide. The NOAA says these tipping points will affect all US coastlines, and they’ll even be exceeded in many areas.

At 10 a.m. Saturday morning, a pipeline breach spilled up to 50,000 gallons of oil into the Yellowstone River near Glendive, in eastern Montana. This recent spill sits just over 200 miles upriver from the site of a 2011 Exxon Mobil pipeline breach which sent 63,000 gallons of oil into an 85-mile stretch of river and riverbed.
