Mew's 2006 album And the Glass-Handed Kites was notable for the supreme ugliness of its cover art. But the Danish band's 2003 release, Frengers, is probably the superior album, and last week - at long last - it was released stateside.

Sometimes you gotta give it up for eye candy. Take for example, the HP Pavilion g6. Sure, it's packed with a 15.6-inch HD display, up to 6GB of RAM, 750GB of hard drive space, and Intel dual-core and Core i3 processors for maximum speed and storage, built-in WiFi Wireless-N for fast web browsing, but let's be real - what gets you at first are the colors.

Coming in five fantastic color options - charcoal grey, luminous rose, pewter, pacific blue, sweet purple - and starting at $429, it's easy enough to buy one for yourself or splurge on a loved one by giving it as a gift. Mother's Day is right around the corner, you know. Other features include a web cam, SD card reader, and speakers with SRS Surround Sound. The only downer? The six cell battery that gives you around four and a half hours of juice. That aside, the g6 is looking mighty fine as a great all-around machine for work or play.

When it comes to eating enough veggies and fruits, Americans are failing miserably. The CDC estimates that only 14 percent of adults and fewer than 10 percent of teenagers in the US eat three servings of vegetables and two servings of fruit on a daily basis.

And you know, five servings of fruit and veggies is the minimum suggestion. Many health advocates believe we should be eating nine servings of produce daily. The percentages above represent the national average; in some states only nine percent of the adults eat enough produce. The CDC published this first state-by-state report to help us all understand how far off the mark we are when it comes to nutrition.

Here's the CDC list, ranking states from lowest to highest percentage of folks meeting the recommended servings of fruit and veggies.

1. Mississippi: 8.8%

2. Oklahoma and South Carolina: 9.3%

3. Alabama: 9.8%

4. South Dakota: 10.1%

5. West Virginia: 10.3%
