If you are a foster or adoptive parent, you should check this out. Really.
I posted on this last year, but I wanted to get the info up again for anyone interested!
Horn Creek is a Christian family camp in the mountains of Colorado. We went last year with Brian's family (although not to the foster/adoption family week) and we took Jay and Zee, the two boys placed with us at the time.
Jay and Zee loved it, and it's a great time to get away, enjoy some hikes and such, and soak up some family time. They have tons of stuff to do as a family - from bowling and rock climbing to horse back riding and hiking. You will not get bored. Neither will your kids.
Also, someone else cooks for you all. week. long.
Now I have your attention.
One week per summer they have started doing a week of camp specifically for foster parents and adoptive parents and families. The curriculum is specifically tailored to fit the needs of families in these very unique situations.
That means a week completely surrounded by other people who know what it is like to be where you are. They know the frustrations. They know the emotional drain. They know the behaviors.
Also very important to note? Any child adopted into your family or placed with your family as a child in foster care within the last year? Free.
Yup. I know. Super cool.
Brian and I are hoping to be able to make it this year. See you there?

Let me start this blog post by stating something: I have the best sister in the entire world. The kind of sister that makes your dreams come true.
The kind of sister that gets you, as a birthday gift, an entrance to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I know. I'm still crying about how lucky I am.
I asked a little while ago on twitter if any of you would be interested to hear about my trip and my experience in the studios and most people said yes, so… here I am.
Fair warning before getting started: this blog post will be detailing my tour of the Warner Bros Studios in London. If you'd like to hear nothing about it, because you're not that curious or don't want to be spoiled at all about the visit there, I'd recommend you stop reading right here. I wouldn't want to ruin your experience.
For those of you wishing to continue reading, thank you!! I have lots of pictures, (though I tried to spare you all because I took over 350 pictures…) and a lot of fun things to share and I hope you'll enjoy it!
We arrived in London on Friday, November 8th and got up early the next day to head for an early tour of the Studios. Turns out it was the best strategy to avoid the crowds that came more and more as afternoon came by.
The Warner Bros Studios are a little further away from London, in Watford, which is about an hour and a half away from London's city center, more or less depending on traffic. There are a couple of ways to get there: car, public transportation (with multiple subways you have to take), or a tour bus. We had picked out the latter option, it being the easiest one and…. well, we did not regret it, because traveling in this bus was kind of cool.
After a little over an hour and a half trip we spent watching the first Harry Potter movie, we arrived at the studios. Just a step out of our bus and we were already in a very Harry Potter-y atmosphere, the walls alongside the studios plastered with posters we recognized from the movies. It was a gloomy, foggy kind of morning and therefore I only took that picture of the studios sign as we went out of the studios in the afternoon.
The Entrance & The Great Hall
The entrance to the studios was just as magical as I expected it to be, somehow even more impressive than ever. The music from the movies came on as we walked in, the giant dragon above our heads welcomed us. Needless to say, I was already impressed and giddy and kind of out of my mind and it was like 10 in the morning. That would be a fun day.
Finally, we entered the tour, following the small crowd gathering at the entrance. We walked alongside hallways filled with pictures and behind the scenes pictures of each of the 8th movies, posters in every language possible, the cupboard under the stairs.
Then, we disappeared in a closed room I wasn't allowed to take pictures of, where a member of the tour's staff introduced us to the studios, alongside with a fun video. Then, we disappeared in another movie-like room where I wasn't allowed to take pictures, either, but, well… the chills. We went from seeing a short movie of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint to, well, this.
This was the moment that the studios felt real, this room, everything. This was the moment I kind of felt like crying, to be honest. Standing in front of that door, opening it and stepping into the Great Hall, still decorated with everything Halloween. The pumpkins, flying in the air, the long tables, the actors' costumes spreaded all around. Even if we could see the mechanisms of it all, even if they were just this, costumes on lifeless mannequins… it still felt magical.
We unfortunately had to quit the Great Hall a little too soon (since they monitor it for it not to be too crowded), so we headed to the next part of the Studios: the Interior Sets.
The Interior Sets
From the costumes of the Yule Ball which were absolutely stunning, to the moving staircases, the Gryffondor common room, Dumbledore's office and Hagrid's Hut… we got to see so much, in so many details. Everything was stunningly impressive, really. The details in each of the rooms, all of the incredible props, from the Golden Cup to every single Horcruxe there was, to the Pensine and the Portkey…You could really see the stunning work of every people working on this movie.
The flying car and brooms, Hagrid's motorcycle, the Weasley's kitchen, Tom Riddle's tombstone: we got to see so, so much of the movies in this single space, it was amazing to see it all living right in front of your eyes.
The Forbidden Forest
Okay, so my pictures aren't that great for the Forbidden Forest, but I also feel like it's a space you have to be in, to really experience. Though that's true for the entire studios.
The Forbidden Forest was chilling, filled with a dark, cold, foggy atmosphere and music, where you meet creatures of all sorts: centaurs, hippogriffs, patronuses… and even, well, aerm, spiders. Like, giant spiders and small spiders coming from above you. I'm sorry. I didn't take pictures of the spiders and… I didn't even look. I'm terrified of spiders okay.
Platform 9 3/4
We headed out of the spidery, gloomy forest to step onto Platform 9 3/4 and to hop on the Hogwarts Express.
Literaly. We didn't only get to stare at the train, looking exactly like it did in the movies, waiting for us, but we got to step in (!!!). The train had 8 compartments, one for each of the movies and each of them was done up with every little prop of each of the 8th movies, which was amazing.
Exterior Sets: Privet Drive & the Knight Bus
After admiring some incredible props from the movies, newspapers and actual books, letters and ugh just so many incredible details, we stepped into the cold, foggy London weather to check out the Exterior Sets. We discovered the gigantic Knight Bus, one we couldn't visit from inside, but was still fairly gigantic from outside.
We discovered 4, Privet Drive and its interior, the staircase, the letters flying all around…
We spotted James and Lily's house, the bridge from Hogwarts, some chess pieces and the flying car.
Creatures Shop
We went back inside to discover the work of everyone on every single creature ever created for the movie. From Goblins to Dragons, Mandragores and the magical creatures in the Great Lake… there was so much to see and so much to learn, from the time it took to create masks and props to the time it took to put them on the actors, sometimes over 3 hours.
Gringotts & The Vaults
Gringotts and The Vaults were probably one of my favorite parts of the studios, though it'd be hard to pick one thing. I just feel like Gringotts was so damn impressive, I was amazed, even more than usual. It was like stepping into a movie, into the movie, really. Everything was grand and stunningly real with so much details, I felt like Harry stepping into the bank for the first time.
We discovered Bellatrix's vault next, once again staged exactly like in the movies.
We weren't ready for our next stop, let me tell you. You know, in the story. Harry, Ron and Hermione go to Gringotts. Get into Bellatrix's vault. You remember what happens next, right? The pounding on the bank's floors, the goblins startled. The tension of that freaking scene in the movie. Before that dragon gets loose and destroys everything.
Well. That happened in the studios, too. With stunning effects making you feel like you've just stepped into that movie scene, for real. No pictures here, it's really something you have to experience live.
Diagon Alley
After all the emotions of Gringotts, we were lucky enough to step into Diagon Alley as no one was there, allowing me to take deserted pictures of the little paved road and little shops, once again incredibly detailed and beautiful.
Model Room
Our last stop in the tour was the Model Room, once again showing us the behind the scenes of building up the movies and their decor. We got to see almost every single decor, from the Astronomy Tower to The Burrow to the Three Broomsticks, stunningly done as little models. If I had to do these kind of things… well I would never because I lack the patience, so my admiration is great.
The last room of the tour was the most impressive of them all, and another moment where, as a Harry Potter fan, I felt overcome by emotion upon seeing it all. It's a gigantic model of the Hogwarts castle, probably over twice my size, in absolutely incredible details and, I don't know, it made me feel very emotional okay.
If you're a Harry Potter fan, of the movies, of the books, of both, visit the studios. If you're a movie fan, visit the studios, too. I've always adored the series and seeing it come to life – or, well, be a little destroyed, obviously, by all the mechanisms showing – was one of the best experiences of my life.
Even if you can see all the ropes of it all, even if you can see the costumes, the way magic is created, on screen, every single step of it still felt magical and only made my love and admiration for every single person working on these movies stronger. Everyone from the big actors we all know and love to the designers and make up artists and architects working on it all… there's just so much. So much happening behind the scenes, behind the screen that you discover in the tour, really. It all felt magical and I hope I can go back there someday.
Are you a Harry Potter fan?

Stags go final four in NSW
THE Stags are through to the semi-final round of the Champion of Champions competition after they defeated Maroubra's Heffron hawks 5-0 at Cookbundoon yesterday.
It is the furthest the side has ever progressed in the under-21 age group of the competition that sees the top side in each NSW Association compete to be the best amateur club in the State.
The Stags had previously made the quarter finals last year. They will now head to Sydney next weekend against a side yet to be confirmed.
After recently taking out the Highlands Premier League, coach David Jones was ecstatic for his team that included nine players from the grand-final winning side.
"What's exciting is that the Highlands now know about Stags, and now Soccer NSW will be looking at who Stags," he happily told the Post after the victory.
Heffron arrived from Sydney's Maroubra at Cookbundoon with only nine players available due to illness, injury and commitments.
This resulted in the side being severely disadvantaged, although they did well to keep the score at only 1-0 going into half-time. The only goal coming for the Stags thanks to a Jason Broadbent wonder strike.
Rightfully though, the Stags should have capitalised more on their dominance and advantage.
"We expected that it might be a bit hard, and they (Heffron) played the same tactics that I would have done, which is park the bus," Jones explained.
"I talked to the guys in the sheds at half-time and said that we need to turn up the tempo, knock the ball around a lot quicker and make them work, and they did that."
Stags captain Jarrod Twaddle knocked two goals in to make it 3-0 for the Stags half way through the second half.
Not to be outdone, Broadbent, who was the club's leading goal scorer in the Highlands competition, knocked a goal for a brace.
Jake Mutton finished off a dominant performance from the Stags to make the final score 5-0.
"Considering in the grand-final a few weeks ago I got hurt really early on (corked thigh), I couldn't have the impact I would have liked then. So it was good to come out today and sort of redeem yourself," Broadbent said after the game.
"When Jarrod (Twaddle) had the two goals and I only had the one, I wasn't going to let that happen, I had to get another one. No way can he score more than me.
"We're tied in this comp now. I can't let him beat me, not at all. He'll hold it over me forever."
Striker Mamboy Muta is expected to return from injury for the Stags come the semi-final.
"He's a real good ball player, we missed him heaps today," Jones said.
In the previous game, Crookwell went down to Wollongong team – Coniston - 10-2.
It means Crookwell's Champion of Champions run has ended in the third round.

Fintech startups are everywhere – how do you determine which ones are worth a second look? It's a question that KPMG and fintech investment firm, H2 Ventures attempt to provide clarity on each year via their Fintech100 Report, which details what they believe are the leading 50 established fintech companies across the globe, and the most intriguing 50 'Emerging Stars'. These can be defined in a number of ways including exciting new fintechs with bold, disruptive and potentially game-changing ideas, companies that are using technology to their best advantage, and companies that are driving disruption within the financial services industry. One of the 'emerging stars' this year is Australian-based Afterpay.
What is Afterpay?
Afterpay offer simple instalment plans for shoppers, allowing any online purchases to be paid for in four equal instalments, due every fortnight. Sign up online, and you can choose to shop from over 900 stores across Australia. First-time customers provide payment details as usual, returning customers simply log in to make their purchase. They will remind you when payments are due and will process your payments automatically.
After you check out, the goods will be shipped to you by the merchant. At any time, you can log in to your Afterpay account to see your payment schedule and make a payment before the due date. Otherwise they will automatically deduct the instalments from your debit or credit card every fortnight.
Q&A with Afterpay Managing Director and Co-Founder Nick Molnar
Q: Congratulations on being named as one of the top 100 'emerging star' fintechs by H2 Ventures and KPMG as part of their 2016 Fintech100 list. What is your response to that achievement?
It's fantastic and humbling to be recognised alongside such a prestigious list of global innovators. Afterpay is experiencing great growth momentum and we are excited to see this acknowledged by the H2 Ventures and KPMG expert teams.
Q: Can you give our readers your elevator pitch: why use Afterpay?
Afterpay is a next generation retail platform and a modern day lay-by system that provides customers with a better way to shop.
Afterpay provides customers with a convenient payment option which lets them buy and receive their purchase immediately but pay later in regular instalments. Afterpay is unashamedly customer centric and we do not charge customers any interest or upfront fees.
Retailers love Afterpay because it attracts customers and generates a much higher return on sales for them, addressing issues such as shopping cart abandonment online and similar instore purchase procrastination.
Q: New fintech startups are launched every week. Irrespective of idea or solution, are there any underlying qualities that a startup needs in order to hope for success?
We are inspired by what the end-customers want. We built Afterpay, with a deep understanding of what customers are looking for within the retail payments environment. We have addressed a gap for customers within the payments landscape.
Obviously there is an enormous amount of effort that goes into building a successful brand, and we have a brilliant team engaged in that task.
However, at its core, we believe Afterpay is a great example of what occurs when you get the recipe right for customers. Much of our customer growth is built around organic, word-of-mouth customer advocacy. That is a privileged position to be in.
We have seen enormous business growth in 2016. The next 12 months is about continuing to on-board our growing list of more than 900 Australian retailers and growing our customer base. We are making a few further product innovations and also exploring global opportunities.
Australian fintech stars
Afterpay was just one of an impressive nine Australian fintechs to make the Fintech100 report this year. For a small population, that's a pretty good achievement. You can check out the full list of Australia Fintech100 inclusions here.

Fall Out Boy Contemplates a New Release
Guitarist Patrick Stump says the band members are concentrating on "life stuff"
A new marriage and a baby on the way won't keep Pete Wentz from releasing a new album with fellow members of Fall Out Boy. The only question is when.
"The band is really not talking about a record yet, but we're all itching to do one," guitarist Patrick Stump tells Billboard.com, adding that at Wentz's recent wedding to Ashlee Simpson, "we were like, 'We should do another record.'"
Stump hopes the band performs a few concerts this year to avoid getting rusty. Meanwhile, they are concentrating on "life stuff." While Wentz prepares to start a family, Stump is directing a short film and producing music by Gym Class Heroes.
We're always writing," says Stump. "We've had material since [2007's] Infinity on High dropped. So there is plenty just floating around.
There is nothing 'hiatus' or 'indefinite' about what's going on with Fall Out Boy right now."

Mexico besides of being my place of birth is my inspiration.
I'm sitting at Madrid airport, drinking a tea and waiting for my last final flight after those 2 long flights: Guadalajara-Cancun (2 h 45m), Cancun-Madrid (8 h). My ass hurt for being seated too many hours, but nothing matters after so many memorable moments with such inspiring people. My creative friends, visual artists, sound artists, label artists, cultural promoters, the climbers, trail runners, mountain bikers and taxi...

Imagine yourself just floating in the air thanks to one harness, hanging on a static rope that's attached above you. Already unimaginable for somebody with the fear of heights. Then add a SonyA7 camera with a 24-70 mm in your one hand and a 100 mm lens for close up details in the other and tangling on this thin rope, you have to switch the lenses! If it falls, it dies!
Harnesses are a great invention but to do it properly, we have to admit it's a bit painf...

We just came back of a three weeks journey to Luis' homeland: Mexico! We enjoyed being with the family, eating every day tasty food (chilaquiles, tacos, shrimp cocktail, ceviche, carne en su jugo, fresh juices, coconuts and many more), went to the lucha libre (Mexican wrestling show I worked as a camerawoman back then) and went swimming at some beautiful cenotes at the Mayan Rivera next to Tulum. It was incredibly wonderful to disconnect, to relax and enjoy every day with the flow it...

I often tell people that 'Al Aire Films' was founded more through a coincidence than actually a plan or a wish we longed for. Luis expressed his first idea to learn how to fly a drone when we lived in Cologne, Germany. He bought himself a mini helicopter and suddenly we had a robotic fly in our living room crashing against the walls when he was trying the biggest challenge: to get the heli through the living room door to our bedroom.
Then in Mallorca he purchased a second-hand drone, a...

I remember hearing people talk about "postpartum" skin and thinking what the heck? Isn't it just the same as before?
Apparently you have the most beautiful, perfect baby ever AND not only does your body go all whacky, but your skin does too. Like hello acne again, dry patches, weird wrinkles, tired eyes–whatever, you name it and I guarantee at least one of us knows exactly what you're talking about. Maybe those perfect babes of ours take it all? No wonder they're so cute 😉 Was that just a compliment to myself too? Kind of, maybe..like my pre- pregnant self. Haha!
Okay, but seriously–I've learned a few tips and tricks to helping your new tired eyes, wrinkles everywhere, hello red stretch marks, dry skin. So, I figured I would be doing us all a favor by sharing them. Right? How generous of me! 😉
I use Mustela for almost everything that I can and would use even more if they had more, ha! In fact, not only do they have a postpartum line, but they have baby products that I steal from Blake too….
My little regimen goes a little something like this:
1. WASH THE FACE. I use Clean & Clear "Morning Burst" every time, like even night time. I'm a rule breaker 😉
2. EYE CREAM. I'm a firm believer in my eye cream now that I've had a baby because just in case you didn't know not only do you get the cutest baby ever, but you also get eye wrinkle and giant bags! Ha! So I swear by this stuff, right here. Literally GAME CHANGING.
3. LOTION UP. Lotion goes errrrwhere, like errwhere people. I use Mustela's Soothing Moisturizer and it's my favorite by far. I use it on my face and my body. It's super smooth and keeps my skin hydrated all day long — which is the main reason I use it.
4. ADIOS STRETCH MARKS. Seriously, I wish I had known about Mustela's stretch mark prevention cream before I had baby. BUTTTT..what can you do? At least I have their Recovery Serum now and honestly it's made a big difference with the stretch marks I did get from pregnancy. In fact they're almost gone. I wish I had before and after pics, but I didn't know I was going to do this post. SO just trust me. 😉
5. AS NEEDED. I also use Mustela's Stretch Mark prevention oil as needed. I use it on really dry skin as well as my stretch marks I'm still working on fading.
What are your favorite skin products?!

The Philadelphia Wings traded forward Chris Cloutier to the Buffalo Bandits on Wednesday. In exchange, the Wings have received defenseman Ryan Wagner and a 2021 NLL Draft first-round draft pick.
Wagner joins his third NLL franchise, as he previously also played for Vancouver. Cloutier will be joining his second franchise.
Cloutier was the Wings second overall selection in the 2018 NLL Draft. This season, he had seven goals and 17 assists for 24 points.
"This was a very difficult decision, but as an organization moving forward we thought it's the best for not only the Philadelphia Wings, but for Chris," Day said. "Ryan is a fast, physical defenseman and has played for our defensive coach Ian Ruble. We needed some help defensively and we're able to acquire a very good athlete who's only 24 and already has quite a bit of experience in the league."
This season, Wagner played in four games for the Bandits. He had 14 loose balls, 3 caused turnovers and 1 shot.
In 2018, his first season with Buffalo, he had 15 appearances. He had one goal and 10 assists for 11 points with 2 PIM. He had one power-play assist, one short-handed assists, and one game-winning goal.
He also had 77 loose balls with eight turnovers, 15 caused turnovers, and 11 shots.

Welcome To Woodland Caribou Provincial Park
For many, the offseason is filled with dreaming of remote Canadian wilderness adventures. In searching for next summer's best opportunity to see Moose and Caribou, eat freshly caught fish, and paddle the most remote lakes and rivers this country has to offer.
While there are a ton of great paddling opportunities in Canada, one of the best and most remote options is actually quite accessible. It's the wild and rugged wilderness of Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. Tucked neatly into the northwest corner of the sprawling province of Ontario, Woodland Caribou Provincial Park's interior measures over 1.2 million acres of glistening lakes, rivers and streams. It's home to some of the best fishing Canada has to offer and will likely be your greatest opportunity for traveling in complete solitude. In fact, only 500 paddlers annually gain access to this wilderness making it one of Canada's best-kept secret for a wilderness destination!
So what's so special about Woodland Caribou Provincial Park and why is it so easy to access?
Well for starters, the sheer size of this park and it's Prairie Boreal landscape make it a paddler's paradise. In fact, one could paddle around the park for an entire summer and not retrace their own steps once. It's also likely your best opportunity to paddle in a park system with over 2000 campsites and 2200 km of navigable canoe routes, and still, never see another soul along the way. Something extremely rare in today's world.
Maybe the park is just overlooked? Or maybe there are other more popular paddling destinations one could try on their way up to Woodland Caribou? For years I've often wondered why a park that is seemingly the crown jewel of the Ontario Park's system see so few explorers each year. I've come up with the determination that people just think it's plain difficult to gain access to this incredible wilderness. So let's set the record straight and show that's not the case!
Gaining access into Woodland Caribou Provincial Park begins at the town of Red Lake, Ontario. With a small town feel and a population of just under 5000 people, Red Lake offers a perfect gateway as you drop off the map and enter the wilds of this park. Although essentially a frontier town, one can find all the amenities they're looking for prior to a trip including overnight accommodations, outfitting supplies, rentals, or anything else required for a successful canoe adventure. For those looking for a guided experience, local guides are also available to take novice partners into this pristine wilderness.
For those wondering just where the heck Red Lake is and how one gets there, Red Lake is at the end of provincial Highway 105 which is accessed by turning north off of the TransCanada Highway (Hwy 17) once entering the town of Vermilion Bay. It's a paved modern road all the way up with the journey taking just under two hours once turning onto Highway 105.
While this is the northernmost paved highway in Ontario, drive time from International Falls, MN is only five hours, or a quick 5 1/2 hours from either Winnipeg, Manitoba or Thunder Bay, Ontario. Red Lake also boasts a modern airport and receives scheduled flight service from Winnipeg and Thunder Bay three times daily making it incredibly easy for travelers to leave in the morning from a major city and be in the town of Red Lake by the early afternoon or evening.
So let's put that into perspective. Many travelers will fly internationally and have to take either a layover or a separate domestic flight to gain access to their vacation spot for adventure. Sometimes that will take an extra day or even two. In that context, the wilderness of Woodland Caribou Provincial Park becomes an attractive option. You could leave from any major United States city on a morning flight and by the early evening, you'd be at the gateway to one of Canada's greatest wilderness parks. That's not such a bad deal!
The park itself offers 4 entry points navigable by ground shuttle or your own if you have a 4 x 4 vehicle. Lund lake, Leano Lake, Onnie Lake, and Johnson Lake are all designated access points that will have you paddling the park' interior in no time. Most paddlers use a shuttle service as the roads are rough and the drive can sometimes take several hours however if you have a well serviced 4 x 4 you can make the drive on your own. The park may also be accessed via a 28-mile boat ride across Red Lake, accessing the park through the Douglas Lake portage
Ground Shuttle Access Options –https://www.redlakeoutfitters.com/services/ground-shuttles/
Water Shuttle Access Options – https://www.redlakeoutfitters.com/services/water-shuttle/
Float planes are another popular way of accessing Woodland Caribou Provincial Park and unlike designated access points that require shuttle service, paddlers are free to fly into any lake a float plane can safely land on. This opens up a whole host of options for adventure seekers looking for the ultimate in solitude and adventure as the ability to fly into their own private lake becomes a possibility.
Float Plane Access Options – https://www.redlakeoutfitters.com/services/air-services/
As for the destination itself, I believe Woodland Caribou Provincial Park holds itself well against all other wilderness destinations in Canada. In fact it's one of the last few places left in this country where you have complete control over your trip and how you travel it. Take a look at any number of far north rivers. Once you begin your trip you have an itinerary and you'll have to stick to it. You're constantly moving down river working towards the end, however in Woodland Caribou it's truly "your trip your way" You have complete freedom of choice to choose to travel or to just lay over. With no designated campsite system you have complete control of where you sleep at night and for how long you'll stay there. With the likelihood of not seeing another paddler for the duration of your trip, you won't have to worry about feeling rushed on a portage trail or race for a campsite. Imagine travelling back in time, 300 years ago to travel as the voyagers once did. Imagine the freedom they felt as the gazed upon and unpopulated land, full of wildlife and fish and knowing it was all their's and their's alone. You to can experience that same emotion and it begins with a trip to Woodland Caribou Provincial Park.

With each success you score, your scale and respect among the film fraternity and the public will keep increasing. However, it is almost next to impossible that you can always score a hit. That impossible feat has been achieved by one man in Tollywood.
He is none other than the tough taskmaster S S Rajamouli. Till date, he has scored only bumper hits and blockbusters with the latest one being the magnum opus Baahubali. Now, he seems to have taken a decision which is being perceived as over ambitious.
According to reports, Rajamouli is going to shoot four different versions of climax for Baahubali-The Conclusion. He would take a call on which one to be put at a later stage. Some feel it is an over ambitious thing to do but knowing Rajamouli he sure knows what he is doing.

Agave nectar (also called agave syrup) is a sweetener commercially produced in South Africa and Mexico from several species of agave plants (a type of cactus). It is approximately 1.5 times sweeter than sugar and is often substituted for sugar or honey in recipes. In cooking, it is commonly used as a Vegan alternative to honey for those who choose to exclude animal products from their diets. Agave nectar dissolves quickly and so it can be used as a sweetener for cold beverages such as iced tea. It is also added to some breakfast cereals as a binding agent. Agave is sold in light, amber, dark, and raw varieties (the darker the more cooked or processed) and is usually categorized as blue and white (blue has had moisture removed via distillation).
Whatever form you decide to buy, the impact of agave nectar on blood sugar (as measured by its glycemic index and glycemic load) are comparable to fructose, which has a much lower glycemic index and glycemic load than processed table sugar. We use it (and honey) as a substitute for sugar in all our recipes.

Elk Grove, CA 95757
Elk Grove, California has two mottos: 'Proud Heritage' and 'Bright Future'. You can see what they are proud about while cruising through in a brand new Jeep Renegade. You can enjoy the outdoors at Stone Lakes Refuge, Cosumnes River Preserve, or Laguna Creek Parkway which offers walking trails, fishing and bird watching. Elk Grove hosts many festivals throughout the year including Elk Grove Western Festival, Strauss Festival, CSD Giant Pumpkin Festival, and Dickens Fair. Any golfers will want to play a round at Emerald Lakes Golf Center or Valley Hi Country Club. Old Town Elk Grove offers a unique shopping experience with historic buildings and antique shops. So take a quick trip through Elk Grove in your very own Jeep Renegade.
Imitators are everywhere, though perhaps nowhere more prevalent within the automobile industry.
The Jeep is the original off-road vehicle. Developed by the Army, deployed into the battlefields of the world, tried and tested (literally) under fire and threat of immediate harm. It emerged from that cauldron and found its way onto American roads, in the process becoming one of the true icons of the United States' manufacturing prowess and invention. It is a brand that has come to represent a lifetime of durability, strength and innovation.
So what happens when you have an innovator that becomes something of an imitator?
After all, Jeep may have invented a vehicle that would inspire what we now know to be the Sport Utility Vehicle, it didn't invent what we now know to be the Sport Utility Vehicle. So you have to wonder what it is that happens when Jeep imitates.
The result, it turns out, is the Jeep Renegade SUV. Here we have something of an imitator, but bred from the mind of an innovator. Here's where we see what an innovator truly can accomplish with someone else's ideas.
The Jeep Renegade SUV is something only Jeep could truly make, fitting within the automaker's proven formula of endurance, durability and utility. All with a modern sheen and sensibility to it while still being the king of the (off) road.
You want something original? Go to an innovator like Jeep. You want something done better than all the other guys' stuff even if it's not your idea? Go to an innovator like Jeep.
Ready to see this 2020 JEEP RENEGADE in person? Request
