Hiding Log Output:

By default, this module will show log output similar to the following:

1$ npm start
2✔ Mongoose connected to: mongodb://localhost/start-express-mongoose

To hide this log output, set the HIDE_SE_LOG flag to true:

1$ HIDE_SE_LOG=true npm start

HIDE_SE_LOG can equal true or false (default false).
