Great breakfast, fast, no wait – We went in at 10am on a Saturday to be welcomed to no wait at all. Don't get me wrong, the place was packed but they have a LOT of seating. We took the last table available for indoor seating. Anyhow, the service was quick and efficient, the menu had an expansive selection, and the food was great. Fair pricing and quick and easy location with lots of parking available in the garage.
Two thumbs to the Gillwoods Cafe.
Best Breakfast – By far the best breakfast spot in Napa. Also very good lunches. Busy at times

Salesman, physicsist, geek, father, ex-coffee drinker. I recently rediscovered tea in a quest for a healthier lifestyle.
96 – 100: If I would be stuck drinking the same tea for the rest of my life, this would be it!
81 – 95: Highly recommended! Among the best I've ever tasted!
61 – 80: Recommended. Not the best in its kind, but definitely worth a try.
41 – 60: Neutral. Not bad, but I probably won't buy anymore.
21 – 40: I get that this is tea, but I don't like it and wouldn't recommend it.
01 – 20: Foul drink. Quick! Something else to wash down that awful taste.

SAN ANTONIO -- Detroit Lions linebacker and former Lee High School standout Travis Lewis is no stranger to injury.
"Basically, your whole body hurts," he said about training in the off season. "You wake up in the morning and you're just sore all over."
Lately, however, he's been skipping the massage and ice bath. Instead, he strips down to just a few protective garments for cryotherapy treatment at Stratton Sports & Spine.
Chiropractor Brock Stratton explained that cryotherapy exposes skin to extremely cold temperatures which affect specific receptors that will then send a signal to the brain to go into protective mode.
The treatment is cold -- minus 200 degrees cold -- but only lasts about two and a half minutes.
Stratton, who played football at Roosevelt High School and Texas Tech, said cryotherapy is as effective as it is cold.
He explained that in the protective mode, blood rushes to the center of the body, releasing toxins. And when the patient steps back out, his or her body is flushed with enzymes and oxygen.
Patients can also expect to burn about 500 to 800 calories per treatment, Stratton said.
Previously, Spurs players were the only athletes who had access to cryotherapy in San Antonio. Now the treatment is available to anyone.

Subang, 21 July 2012 : Malaysia Airlines recently announced the introduction of its thrice weekly direct services between Kuala Lumpur and Kathmandu effective 1 September 2012.

We believe that the natural grandeur of the Himalayas and rich cultural heritage of Nepal is attracting travelers to choose Kathmandu as a must-go destination," he added.
Malaysia Airlines is offering all-in return economy class promotional fares starting from RM1299 for travel from Kuala Lumpur to Katmandu. This promotional fare might slightly fluctuate due to currency exchange rates.
Customers can book these fares from now till 19 August 2012 for travel effective 1 September 2012 to 31 December 2012.

Many daily newspapers have been moving away from paper for years, emphasizing digital news. Lately, some print dailies have been moving away from publishing daily, too.
To try to combat the industry's decline — in readership, advertising and profits — a handful of newspapers are now cutting back their publishing schedules from seven days a week in print to just three.

A good friend who works in local government wanted insight into the disdain this newspaper voices on occasion for bureaucrats.
Let us start by saying we think bureaucrats are valuable and essential because they possess expertise their elected bosses do not. A good example is Tim Broome, who was the county's director of public utilities until he retired. In particular, Mr. Broome's knowledge of water and sewer matters was unmatched, certainly in Johnston County and perhaps beyond, and his expertise proved invaluable to a county looking to provide adequate water and sewer service to a growing population.
Mr. Broome, who came to local government from the private sector, gave bureaucrats a good name. Many of his bureaucrat brethren do not.
The worst are those bureaucrats who have no regard for the source of the money they spend or take home in salary. You might recall the federal government's General Services Administration, which, in the most egregious example, spent $800,000 of taxpayer money on a lavish Las Vegas conference that featured clowns, a mind reader and a red-carpet party. But one doesn't have to look to the federal government for examples of bureaucrats being poor stewards of the money entrusted to them by the people they supposedly serve. In Smithfield, bureaucrats behaving badly rewarded themselves with double-digit pay raises with taxpayer money. It's a crime no one has been charged with a crime in that scandal.
Just as bad are the bureaucrats who feel entitled to generous benefits that most taxpayers do not enjoy. In many governments, employees and retirees pay nothing for health insurance, and their pension payment is guaranteed, not subject to the ups and downs of the stock market. These benefits are bankrupting cities – just ask Detroit – and yet when Wisconsin asked state employees to contribute modestly to their pensions and health insurance, those employees tried, unsuccessfully, to recall the governor.
Bureaucrats can be arrogant too, certain they know what's best for the people they serve. We read recently about the Canadian mother who was fined $10 because she sent her two children to school with leftover roast beef, carrots, potatoes, an orange and milk. Her sin, apparently, was that she did not include a grain with the meal. Fortunately, the day care was there with Ritz crackers.
Not all bureaucrats are selfish, arrogant spendthrifts. But if all were like Mr. Broome, we would never have reason to look at bureaucrats with disdain. We hope that answers our friend's question.

After a long, complicated struggle, Ronald Barry Marks passed from this life December 17, 2013, at his home in Quincy. He was born Jan. 2, 1946, to late parents, Isabelle and Donald Marks in Toledo, Ohio, where he loved swimming at the family cottage on Lake Erie, Cub Scouts and catching fireflies with his siblings.
The family moved to Southern California when he was nine years old. Two years later, they relocated to Santa Clara in northern California. In those days, the valley was filled with orchards and summers were spent "cutting cots" where he was the favorite orchard "yard boy" or enjoying the beach at Santa Cruz. Ron graduated from Wilcox High School in 1964. He often said the one thing that kept him interested in high school was playing trumpet in the high school marching band.
After high school, he attended Foothill College in Los Altos and joined the Junior Kiwanis Club. He eventually started his own tow truck business and lived in the Santa Cruz Mountains. He was drawn to the small town life of the Sierras and moved to Quincy in 1973. He opened an auto repair business and worked for a year as the QHS ROP auto shop teacher.
But his real passion came when his career goals turned to woodworking and his business, the Woodworks, was born. Ron was a gifted, creative craftsman with an original, artistic eye. Together with his wife Cindy, they created beautiful pieces of woodwork and cabinet making still treasured in Plumas County homes and businesses.
Ron was fortunate to have a special group of life-long friends from high school and college who shared friendship with fun-loving humor while reminiscing about the "good old days" and staying in touch with him throughout his life. Ron is survived by his sister, Sue Gutierrez, of Meadow Valley; brother, Richard Marks, of Santa Clara; niece Rebecca and husband Neil Bence, children Nathan and Megan of Boston, Mass.; niece Alison and husband John Kim, children Annabel and Sara of Belmont.
Family and friends will always cherish loving memories of Ron's witty sense of humor, the home he loved filled with 49er memorabilia and those great barbecues from his outdoor kitchen sitting on the deck overlooking American Valley. The family and close friends will have a private celebration of his life at a future time.
Virginia (Gina) Bailey Gossett passed away Dec. 18, 2013, at the age of 83. She died from complications following a stroke.
Virginia was born in Sacramento on Dec. 9, 1930, to S.L. Bailey and Helen Armstrong Bailey. As an infant, her parents moved to Quincy where her father was the pharmacist at Quincy Drug Store. She attended Quincy Grammar School and Quincy High School. After graduation, she went to University of Nevada, Reno, where she belonged to Delta Delta Delta Sorority. She later transferred to Heald's Business College in Oakland.
On April 26, 1952, she married James R. Gossett. Their first home was in El Paso, Texas, where Jim was stationed in the army. Following Jim's discharge, they moved to Malvern, Ark. In September 1953, they returned to Quincy which became their permanent home.
Virginia was a Plumas County employee for 30 years retiring in 1991. During this time, she was a legal secretary for the district attorney, county counsel and superior court judge. Some of the attorneys and judges she had the honor of working for included Chellis Carpenter, Morris Durant, Judge Bertram Janes, Judge Stanley Young, Susan Roth and Rob Shulman.
Virginia was an avid reader. She loved horses and often hosted Kentucky Derby parties. After retirement, she and Jim traveled to many different places, but Bucks Lake was her favorite vacation spot. She never gave up her love for learning.
Virginia is survived by her husband of 61 years, Jim; her daughter Sheila Hoad and husband Tom, of Martinez; her son Barry, of Quincy, and her daughter Lorin Roncancio and husband Samuel, of Plano, Texas. Grandchildren left behind are Robert and William Hoad, of Martinez, and Andre, Gabriela and Jonathan Roncancio, of Plano, Texas. She is also survived by her brother Barry Bailey and his wife Peggy, of Quincy, brother-in-law Tom Gossett and his wife Jane, of Quincy, and sister-in-law Mary Straws, of Columbia, California. Also, she leaves behind many much-loved nieces and nephews.

I had booked a double room for me and my husband and when we got there instead of a double bed they put 2 singles beds together with a double bed linen... but both beds were on wheels, so they would split during the night... very annoying! Also the shower was pretty bad, not much pressure and temperature oscillating all the time. despite of that I really liked the location and breakfast was included and fare. if you're not a couple it is ok but I'd recommend to look for other places if you can

21. Jets (24): If you can't throw it, there is another way to move the football. And the Jets might have discovered it.
22. Cowboys (18): Getting in position to win is one thing. Actually winning is another.
23. Bills (27): Beating the Cardinals on the road was impressive, but the Bills still have a lot to prove.
24. Saints (21): Drew Brees did not throw a touchdown pass last weekend. Chances are good he will throw one this weekend though.
25. Colts (22): The Colts had a predictable comedown Sunday; now let's see if they can find some equilibrium.
26. Buccaneers (25): Beating the Chiefs was one thing. If they can beat the Saints and Vikings, that will be something else.
27. Titans (30): It appears Chris Johnson and Kenny Britt are headed in the right direction, and that could bode very well for the Titans.
28. Raiders (26): They were impressive in defeat Sunday. And that is progress for the Raiders.
29. Panthers: (28): A weekend off might have helped Cam Newton more than any amount of coaching could have.
30. Browns (32): They are 1-12 over their last 13 games, but they also are on a one-game winning streak.
31. Chiefs (29): The offense wasn't any better with Brady Quinn under center than it was with Matt Cassel.
32. Jaguars (31): They drop to No. 32 even though they didn't play last weekend. It has been that kind of season for the Jags.

Lillard has punished your critique of him wih a memorable game winner within days of this article being published.
Kevin Durant for MVP, other award picks at the quarter mark of 2012-13 season
By Ben Golliver
With the 2012-13 season at the quarter mark, here are my picks for the league's top performers. (All stats and records are through Monday.)
1. Kevin Durant, Thunder
2. LeBron James, Heat
3. Carmelo Anthony, Knicks
4. Chris Paul, Clippers
5. Tim Duncan, Spurs
The MVP award always boils down to wins, stories and stats. Durant has edged past James in the first two categories and, perhaps most impressively, he has fought the reigning MVP to a draw in numbers.
The case for Durant begins with the Thunder's 17-4 start, excellent in any season but especially so this year in the wake of the James Harden deal. Much is made of the teamwork-first culture in Oklahoma City, but the Thunder's steady response after the unpopular trade of a budding superstar speaks first to Durant's elite reliability. Through five-plus seasons, he's appeared in more than 96 percent of his team's games, and this year he's averaging the third-most minutes in the league and has scored at least 20 points in every game he's played 30 minutes or more. He delivers night in and night out, regardless of matchups or schedule, and his game is growing: He's averaging a career-high 8.5 rebounds and registering more than a steal and a block per game, something James can't claim. He's shown flashes of an improved post game, his defense has gotten markedly better in the last two seasons and he continues to refine the one-two balance with Russell Westbrook late in games.
James is shooting a career-best 44.1 percent from three-point range, and yet Durant has shadowed him there, hitting 44 percent and threatening to join the hallowed 50/40/90 shooting club. There's one last factor: Durant is starving for a title, much as James was last season. His Thunder have played hungry, reflecting that urgency; James' Heat have taken their foot off the pedal enough to raise eyebrows, even if it's too early to generate real concern. James has been as dominant as always and has plenty of time to add another MVP award to his mantel. At the first-quarter mark, though, it's Durant by a hair.
Anthony, Paul and Duncan have all been typically excellent on very successful teams. But James and Durant are a cut above the other contenders.
Rookie of the Year
1. Damian Lillard, Trail Blazers
2. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Bobcats
3. Harrison Barnes, Warriors
A tight two-man race between Anthony Davis and Lillard hasn't developed, as the No. 1 pick has spent more time on the Hornets' training table than on the court, battling a concussion and a series of ankle injuries. Lillard, meanwhile, has played to the high end of expectations for a Trail Blazers team desperate to squeeze every bit of potential out of him.
His transition from the Big Sky to the big leagues has been relatively smooth, especially in the departments that Lillard can control. He's handled a huge workload — 37.8 minutes a game, No. 7 in the league and by far tops among rookies — and delivered nice numbers: 18.4 points and 6.4 assists while shooting 36.7 percent from three-point range. His feel for controlling games and working through half-court sets has received praise and he's shown a desire to command the ball in late-game situations, even if he's yet to deliver a memorable game-winner.
Lillard has had a few rough shooting nights and his share of unforced turnovers, he doesn't always finish plays that he should around the basket and his individual defense has drawn scrutiny. Those are nit-picks, though, the kind of critiques reserved for players once it's no longer a question that they will stick in the pros. Lillard is a finished product whose maturity has impressed rival coaches and players. No other rookie has been asked to do as much and no other rookie, yet, has done more.
Kidd-Gilchrist remains one of the NBA's best-kept secrets, ranking No. 11 among small forwards in Player Efficiency Rating as a teenager and averaging 11 points and 6.3 rebounds. He has the look of a true franchise building block, something that couldn't be said for a host of previous Bobcats lottery picks. Barnes, averaging 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds, can lay claim to a title that no other lottery pick in his class can match: He's a full-time starter on a winning team.
Sixth Man Award
1. Kevin Martin, Thunder
2. Jamal Crawford, Clippers
3. J.R. Smith, Knicks
This race is so close that Martin and Crawford have identical 18.61 PERs. Their stories are similar, too: reserve scorers get a second lease on life by filling a niche perfectly on teams destined for a solid postseason push.
With Crawford, you get more spectacular highlights and volume (17.9 points per game compared to Martin's 15.8). Martin's game is all about efficiency: He's shooting better from the field (47.1 percent to 44.2 percent) and much better from deep (a blistering 47.9 percent to Crawford's strong 38.7 percent). The rest of the numbers — free-throw attempts, rebounds, assists, steals — are a virtual wash.
This tie breaks on Oklahoma City's stronger record and the appearance that Martin's start will be more sustainable. The Clippers will be juggling rotations as players get healthy and minutes could fluctuate; in Oklahoma City, the roles and responsibilities couldn't be much more clearly defined. In addition, Crawford's three-point shooting is up significantly over his numbers last year; Martin's numbers are showing a similar spike but he's been a bit steadier, even through injuries, over the last five years. Martin's dependability might not be as sexy, but his instant impact in Oklahoma City after arriving from Houston in the Harden trade is great news, and there shouldn't be any question about his motivation the rest of the way: He's in a contract year and is preparing for his first legitimate chance at a deep playoff run.
Smith, playing some of the best all-around basketball of his career, is only a half-step behind Martin and Crawford. He will wind up making a strong case by season's end if he stays locked in and productive even after Iman Shumpert and Amar'e Stoudemire return from injury. Smith is averaging 13.7 points, a career-high five rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.2 steals while shooting 37.2 percent from three-point range in 32.8 minutes.
Coach of the Year
1. Mike Woodson, Knicks
2. Gregg Popovich, Spurs
3. Jacque Vaughn, Magic
There's a strong temptation to give the nod to Popovich in solidarity for the fine levied by commissioner David Stern to the Spurs for Popovich's decision to strategically rest key players during a nationally televised game against the Heat. (San Antonio's league-best 18-4 record is a pretty good reason, too.) Popovich would be the play here if the Knicks weren't out to such a surprising and sensational start. New York embodies so many of the virtues we look for in well-coached teams: unselfishness, overachievement, good shot selection, trust in self and others and the ability to put big personalities and egos aside for a common good. The Knicks' veterans — especially Jason Kidd and Tyson Chandler — get some of the credit, but clearly Woodson has fostered the ideal environment in a place that has been more hellish than heavenly for a decade-plus.
Don't get it twisted: This case isn't built on warm fuzzies. The Knicks' fundamentals — best record in the Eastern Conference, No. 2 offense in the league, an above-average defense despite the heavy use of small lineups — are all strong. Perhaps the highest compliment for Woodson is that he's already answered a key preseason question: whether anyone in the East besides the Celtics could push the Heat. Not only have the Knicks pushed Miami, but they've also soundly beaten the defending champs twice in two games. Even James admitted after last week's game in Miami that the Knicks "kicked our a–."
How did Vaughn sneak onto the list with an 8-12 record over the likes of Memphis' Lionel Hollins or Golden State's Mark Jackson? Because the rookie coach has won as many games in the first quarter of the season as many expected him to win the entire first half of the season with a thrown-together roster that lost its two best players, Dwight Howard and Ryan Anderson, without receiving any replacement star power and has dealt with injuries to veterans Jameer Nelson, Al Harrington and Hedo Turkoglu. Five of Orlando's wins have come against bottom-dwellers (Pistons, Cavaliers and Suns), so Vaughn isn't necessarily guaranteed to become the league's next coaching prodigy, but his early work deserves some recognition.
Defensive Player of the Year
1. Joakim Noah, Bulls
2. Serge Ibaka, Thunder
3. Tony Allen, Grizzlies
Noah was left off the All-Defensive teams last year after being a second-team selection in 2010-11 — but getting passed up for Howard and Chandler is no shame. The Bulls' big man deserves a little shine now. He's No. 2 in the NBA in minutes per game, a major increase after Chicago's decision to let Omer Asik sign with the Rockets. His numbers have jumped even more than you would expect, and he's averaging 10.8 rebounds, 1.4 steals and 2.3 blocks. More importantly, Chicago is tied (with Memphis) for No. 1 in points allowed per possession and finds itself back on top of the Central Division without Derrick Rose. There have been rough spots, including a three-game losing streak on the road in November, but Noah's energy has been key in keeping it together.
Whereas both Howard and Chandler have seen their respective teams' defensive numbers decline this season, Ibaka's Thunder remain a top-10 defense, and he ranks first in blocks. His defensive-rebounding numbers remain solid, too. Allen's reputation as an elite and relentless perimeter defender is well-established, and if Memphis continues to lead in defensive efficiency, there's an outside chance that he could make a run at becoming the first guard to receive this honor since Gary Payton in 1996. It's also quite possible that he simply gets lost in the trees again, even if the Grizzlies continue to win and post solid defensive numbers.
Most Improved Player
1. Andray Blatche, Nets
2. O.J. Mayo, Mavericks
3. Omer Asik, Rockets
It's hard to show more improvement than Blatche, who was essentially sent home by the Wizards last season for conditioning issues and then deemed not worth the trouble and amnestied over the summer. That's the NBA's version of a dumpster pile. Blatche has climbed out of it to be an effective reserve and fill-in starter for the Nets, averaging 11.2 points and 6.6 rebounds. Leaps don't get much bigger than going from worse than worthless (the Wizards paid him $23 million to go away) to one of the league's better values (the Nets have him on a minimum deal). That might be a slightly twisted version of what "Most Improved" is supposed to stand for, especially this late in the eight-year veteran's career, but the turnaround shouldn't go completely unnoticed.
The smart money says that this is Mayo's award to lose as he appears to be the best "conventional" candidate. Mayo has exploded in his first year with the Mavericks, in part thanks to the freedom he's received because of the absence of Dirk Nowitzki and poor guard play around him. After spending the last two seasons on Memphis' bench, Mayo hasn't just scaled his per-minute numbers in a big opportunity; he's taken them to another level altogether. Mayo is averaging a career-high 20.8 points, four rebounds and 3.5 assists and shooting 48.7 percent from the field, including a league-leading 53 percent from deep on more than five attempts per game.
The notion of Mayo's chucking 15 shots a game would have probably been viewed as an efficiency nightmare as recently as September, and yet he trails only Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade and Harden in PER among starting shooting guards. He's also helped keep the Mavericks above .500 as they await Nowitzki's return. Mayo's shooting percentages will come back to earth and his scoring will take a hit once Nowitzki is back as the No. 1 guy, but he's proved he deserves to be a starter in the league.
Asik has made a nice transition from the Bulls to the Rockets, averaging a double-double of 10.7 points and 11.4 rebounds. His per-minute numbers aren't drastically different from when he was backing up Noah in Chicago last season, but he's logging more than double the minutes he played last year. Harden gets the headlines, but Asik deserves a little love for his role in keeping Houston, projected to be terrible in a rebuilding season, near .500.
Crawfords impact on the Clippers has been greater than Martins impact on the Thunder . Martin and Smith have both been good but Crawfords addition is giving the Clippers a shot at the West and has made the players around him better simply as the focal point of the second unit hes allowed guys like Bledsoe and martin to simply just play their games .
You have defensive coaches like Thibs double teaming Crawford so things like that really tell the story on the impact hes making and pushes him to the top
How about Chandler Parsons for most improved? He's budding into a legit NBA forward next to Hardin and Lin in Houston.
MVP- both Durant and James are pretty much playing with full casts while Melo is playing without his 'Robin' and another starter. He also is playing out of position at Power forward and is second in scoring while improving his D and rebounding. If I said before the season Melo would have the best record at this point with no Amare or Shump, while playing power forward and second in the league in scoring, (higher than both James and Durant), I would have been laughed of the site. This ESPN love for Lebron and hate for all things NY must end
Duncan has to at LEAST be in the conversation for DPOY. He has the best individual defensive rating in the NBA.
xxI am a type 1 diabetic. My feet were going to be amputated. until I found a simple way to stop that from happening. if you are a diabetic you need to read saveyourfeetDOTwordpressDOTcom
Apparently finally living up to expectations with your super star filled team gets you first place for Coach of the Year...
Really no Lionel Hollins on the coach of the year list? Mike Conley should also get a look at most improved player.
I thought Varejao would get some love for defense. And with a few more games like tonight's against the Lakers, Kyrie Irving is in the mix for most improved...
But I love Kevin Martin as a pick. The guy has been the pro's pro since entering the league but toiled for poor teams without any spotlight.
Agreed. Thibs and Mark Jackson need to headline the COY by consistently doing more with less.
No love for Tom Thibs in Chicago for COY? Best defense in the league, once again, and in first, without their star player? Definitely worth my vote.
Absolutely ridiculous to have M Jackson off the coaches of the year list with what hes doing for the Warriors without Bogut
@EricCallahan Now this is a different spin from the conspiracy theory crowd. Usually one of you paranoid types is ranting about everything being biased in favor of the east coast. Now it is an agenda of hatred against the capital of the east coast, NYC! Brilliant! By the way, this is SI, not ESPN.
It hurts to say this as a disgruntled Nuggets fan, but Melo is blowing it up in NYC. Respect given when it's earned. Kudos.
Dude, ESPN coverage revolves around NY and Boston! NY hasn't been basketball relevant in over a decade but got Linsanity coverage. ESPN hate's NY? That statement might get ya laughed out of the site.
@Alex20 they have one star, unless you have a time machine. And expectations were they would be middle of the road until there two starters returned.
@Alex20 Mark Jackson doesn't deserve anything. He threw last season so they wouldn't have to give up their draft pick (as evidenced by the fact that they lost 22 of their last 27 games after starting off 18-21.) That is the reason for their success. It was a completely classless move and worthy of a $250,000 fine.
@Alex20 Totally agree on Mark Jackson also. He has the Warriors playing some good basketball.
JFFR, you're kidding right? Look at the history of the NBA, teams such as San Antonio, Boston, and Denver have all tanked or attempted to tank to get a high draft pick. So now that the Warriors do it there's a problem? The Warriors draft pick netted them Harrison Barnes; he's the reason for their success? You are either completely delusional or a disgruntled Utah Jazz fan.
Buddy there's an NBA lottery! It makes tanking not as smart as in the NFL! For every year that the worst team in the league gets the #1 pick like Cleveland with Lebron, there are like 8 years where they don't.
@phillipkb Nailed it! Disgruntled Jazz fan :) I hate Mark Jackson for plenty of reasonsDon't forget Cleveland. They did their best to get LeBron. I think David Stern should have fined those teams.

How to Make Homemade Nut Butters
Every week on FOOD52, a DIY expert spares us a trip to the grocery store and shows us how to make small batches of great foods at home. Today, Marisa McClellan of Food In Jars helps us stock our pantry with some of her favorite nut butters.
Several years ago, I found myself obsessed with nut butters. I was always on the lookout for new flavors and nut combinations and was willing to pay truly obscene amounts of money for small jars of cinnamon vanilla sunflower butter or coconut peanut butter.
>>RELATED: See our easy way to make homemade butter (the dairy kind!)
Soon enough, I came to my senses (helped by a quick tally of how much I'd spent) and realized that all these little tubs contained were nuts, sweeteners and spices. I got to work. The very first batch of maple roasted almond butter sealed the deal. When it comes to any kind of nut butter -- plain, fancy, and everything in between -- homemade is most definitely the way to go. In my experience, this technique works best with peanuts, almonds, cashews, sunflower seeds, hazelnuts, and sesame seeds.

Bring some friends and prepare to see a side of them you may not have seen before while you laugh, fret and beam with pride as you work together solving riddles and racing against the clock to escape!
This event is ideal for:
*A Team Building Function. If you don't work together, you won't escape!
*The Coolest Date Night Ever!
*An Exciting Family Outing.
*Crazy Fun With Friends!
What happens if the Zombie touches me?
Don't get touched by the crawling Zombie! If you get touched by the crawling zombie, you will be required to sit and no longer will be permitted to search for clues, but you can still participate verbally. The Zombie is chained to a wall and may not roam freely, but the chain is released another foot every five minutes so you better be quick at putting together the clues, solving the riddles and finding the key that will set you free, otherwise you will be Zombie bait.
How long will it take?
This depends on how much smarter you are then a Zombie! If you do not find all the clues and solve the puzzles that unlock the door within 60 minutes, you will be eaten by a Zombie and we will have to remove your body from the room. Allow one and half hours for the entire adventure for instruction time and a solution explanation.
Will I really get eaten if I don't escape?
Cannibalism has been outlawed since 1804, so the Zombie is not legally permitted to eat you.
What should I bring with me?
Your inner Sherlock Holmes and all the sleuthing skills you can muster! The answers to the clues, riddles and puzzles are all in the room. You will be using your ability to look for clues, figure out logic and apply deductive reasoning to escape. Don't give up! Keep searching for clues. You are going to have to work fast!
Are cell phones permitted?
Cell phones are not allowed to be used in the room. The use of electronic devices or any outside tools are strictly prohibited and you will immediately be removed from the show if you attempt to use them.
What happens if I arrive late?
The door to the room closes exactly at the time you signed up for. Please arrive 15 minutes early to make sure you are there before the room is locked. You will not be permitted into the room if you are late. THERE ARE NO REFUNDS.
How old do you have to be?
You must be 14 years or older to participate without an adult. If you are under the age of 18 you must print out and have your parents sign a liability release waiver. CLICK HERE. If you are under 14 years older you can participate, but you must be accompanied by a paying adult and purchase a ticket.
#1. DON'T JUST STAND THERE! There are clues scattered throughout the room. Move, touch, pull, turn, twist and open as many things as you can to find clues.
#2. SHARE YOUR FINDINGS. The only way to solve the puzzles and escape is to put all of the clues together. A safe may take two or three clues to open. Gather your clues in one spot and work as collaborative unit with the other adventurers to come up with solutions.
#3. LET SOMEONE ELSE TRY. If a participant thinks that they have the correct answer and a clue will not open…..THEY HAVE THE WRONG ANSWER OR THEY ENTERED IT IN WRONG! Have someone else try it. The riddles are obvious to some people and appear impossible to others. Have everyone give the riddle a shot. This will be one of your best tips to escape!
#4. STAY AWAY FROM THE ZOMBIE. The Zombie is hungry and he wants to eat you. He is chained to a wall, but don't get near him. If the Zombie touches you, you will have to sit and no longer will be permitted to search for clues, but you can still participate mentally.
#5. DON'T GIVE UP! The participants that get eaten stop looking for clues, stop trying different combinations and believe they can't figure it out. Keep entering in numbers, keep looking at the riddle and keep trying any possible combination. The worst thing you can do is "NOTHING". Keep moving, keep looking, keep trying and never give up!
* Cell phones & tools are strictly prohibited during the event. If you use a cell phone, tool or any outside device during the event you will be escorted from the room immediately.

Lyttelton, a sleepy port town, was the arrival point for many of the early Canterbury settlers. The Canterbury Pilgrims' landing place is marked by a rock near the road entrance to the port. A mix of renovated wooden villas and contemporary homes now rises halfway up what was once a volcanic crater. Today, because of its relative isolation from Christchurch, Lyttelton has developed its own distinctive quality, attracting creative types who like the small-town character. Lyttelton was very badly hit by the earthquakes. The biggest loss, historically, was the Timeball Station where, in the days before GPS and atomic clocks, ships would make sure their chronometers were accurate by checking them when the large ball at the Timeball Station was lowered. By mid-2012 Lyttelton town should be open for visitors, but in the meantime Governors Bay and farther round to Diamond Harbour makes a nice half-day drive from the city. You can also catch a boat for a harbor cruise from the port.

Relations between justice and society – Working session with Polish judges
Poland's National Council of the Judiciary (NCJ) had invited the CCJE-GT to hold its 8th meeting in Katowice so as to foster the pooling of experience by CCJE-GT members and judges from the courts in the Katowice region. It was against this background that it had proposed that a debate be held on relations between justice and society.
The CCJE-GT underlined that the theme proposed by the NCJ was in line with the subject being considered by the CCJE in 2005 (see part IV above). The proposal to involve the CCJE directly in the national debate on possible improvements in relations between justice and society fitted in perfectly with part of the CCJE's terms of reference ("providing practical assistance to enable states to comply with Council of Europe standards concerning judges").
During the working session with the judges from the courts that came under Katowice District Court (approximately 50 people), the Chair of the CCJE described the body and, in particular, the work on the draft opinion on relations between justice and society. At the request of the participants, the CCJE-GT delegations reported on best practices and particular difficulties encountered in relations between courts and the media in their respective countries.
In the course of the discussion that followed the various presentations, the participants voiced their concerns about the accuracy of the information supplied by the press both about the quality of the judiciary and about proceedings. They stressed the need to train journalists in basic legal concepts, while acknowledging the difficulty of putting that into practice. They also underlined the need to train court spokespersons in relations with the media and the need for spokespersons to exchange information at European level. This could be done through associations of court spokespersons, the setting up of which should be encouraged in countries which did not already have them.
The educational role which the courts should play was mentioned several times. The development of court public relations policies, the holding of "open days", measures to raise young people's awareness of the operation of the judiciary and the publication of decisions on the Internet were mentioned as means of moving justice closer to society and improving general legal awareness.
Reports on the working session in Katowice were broadcast on local radio and television.
During the visit to Chorzów Court, the CCJE-GT delegations attended a hearing in a criminal case, found out about the operating methods of the court, which had jurisdiction for both criminal and civil cases, and held discussions with the local judges about practical aspects of the work of judges.
The CCJE-GT believed that meetings between the CCJE and the domestic courts in the various member states should be continued and expanded. On the one hand, they enabled the CCJE to find out more about the situation on the ground, which helped it to expand its base of expertise for the preparation of opinions, while, on the other, they were a very effective means of raising domestic judges' awareness of the Council of Europe's judicial standards.

A Special Thanks – Thank you Dr. Cooper for all the things you have done for my family, and animals. Including the little mini you just saw. If it weren't for your honest opinion i'm not sure she would still be here! So i know she thanks you to.. You're great at what you do, and I thank you for that!
TERRIBLE!!! – Although their vets are friendly THEY DON'T what they are doing I have never seen a more unfriendly staff. Their staff is very rude and not helpful. The office manager being the worst of the lot, every time you have to deal with the office manager it is a nightmare. A new breeder at the time I relied on the vets advice. The vet talked me out of having a C-section, when everybody knows real French bulldogs have to have C-sections and I lost the pups as a result. The only French Bulldogs that are born naturally are the horrendously huge European French Bulldogs. Beware if you use this vet, you better know what you are doing and not listen to their recommendations.

text: Part of the discussion was around whether we ought to consider some changes to the charter. In light of the current issues that the College of Scribes is having, there was some thought that it might be good to have term limits for the various officers. I don't feel strongly one way or another about it, and the general consensus seemed to be more or less to leave it as it is. But I thought it would be worthwhile to put it on the list for discussion by anyone who wants to offer any opinions, particularly those who weren't there to discuss it on Wednesday. Thoughts?
