Hispaniola Mamajuana
Review: Hispaniola Mamajuana Rum Liqueur 78.5/100
a review by Chip Dykstra (Aka Arctic Wolf)
Posted April 20, 2010
Hispaniola Mamajuana is a liqueur based upon a herb infused rum and wine drink called mamajuana which is indigenous to the Isle of Hispaniola (modern island of Dominican Republic and Haiti). The original mamajuana was a medicinal drink whose roots reach back to the original inhabitants of Hispaniola, the Taino, (who Columbus mistakenly called Indians). This original drink was more of a tea beverage made by boiling local roots and perhaps bark. As the drink evolved, honey was added as a sweetener, and over time rum and wine were added and the drink became the mamajuana known on the Island today.
In doing my research on this unique product, I came across a few suggestions that the original drink has medicinal properties to help with everything from arthritis to toothaches. But the most intriguing suggestion is that it has the ability to increase potency in men, and desire in women. It is playfully called, 'Viagra Dominica' by its adherents. This means my review should be most interesting as I, like you, am genuinely skeptical, but genuinely curious about Hispaniola Mamajuana.
Hispaniola Mamajuana is produced by Mardi S.A. made from aged rum and honey as well as a secret recipe of over twenty different herbs and spices. It bottled at 30 % alcohol by volume. My sample for this review was provided by Rum Runner Imports who are bringing the product to market in my home Province.
In the Bottle 4/5
Hispaniola Mamajuana arrives in a clear tall bottle pictured here to the left. The bottle is not fancy, but it serves the purpose for which it is intended. There is a little heritage with the Isle of Hispaniola featured on the label, but I could find no references to the medicinal benefits which my research had suggested I may encounter.
In the Glass 7.5/10
In the glass the rum liqueur has a rich amber colouration with a mahogany taint. The liqueur displays long trickling legs which seem to return grudgingly back to the bottom of the glass.
There seems to be a myriad of aromas trying to escape as soon as the glass is poured. Anise, woody herbs, cloves, allspice, cinnamon, honey, and faint airs of brown sugar all rise up in a stew of exotic aroma. The nose is aggressive and almost seems medicinal with hints of menthol. (I guess I should not be surprised as the original mamajuana is considered a medicine in folklore.)
In the Mouth 47.5/60
Hispaniola Mamajuana is soft with a nice feeling of oil. This is a rum drink which must be sipped very slowly and gently. The flavours are aggressive. It is also a bit of a chameleon in the mouth. Several of my friends were tasting with me, and the impressions were quite different with each person. One tasted primarily black licorice, another, tasted primarily the cloves and allspice. I suspect that this is because of the aggressiveness of the individual flavours, and how these flavours react to different palate conditions.
After several tastings, I found I could discern a large variety of flavours. The sweetness of honey lies on top of other flavours of licorice, cinnamon, and woody tannin. Cloves, allspice and ginger pop in and out at different times each taking their turn catching my attention depending upon my mood and the time of day. There was much more as well, including an undercurrent of bitterness which seemed to stem from woody bark, twigs and dry grassy notes.
In the Throat 12/15
The Mamajuana has a long sweet honey filled finish. Hints of menthol are attached to the sweetness. A fading dry grassy taste somehow manages to creep in right at the very end of the experience.
The Afterburn 7.5/10
In some ways this is the most interesting part of the review. The original recipe for Mamajuana, is supposed to have somewhat magical properties for the libido, somewhat like an aphrodisiac, and somewhat like Viagra. So everyone must be wondering … did it work?
I will only say that the power of suggestion can be a powerful placebo. In the case of Hispaniola Mamajuana, as long the power of suggestion remains strong, I shall keep a bottle on hand.
Suggested Cocktails:
The smorgasbord of flavours which come with the Hispaniola Mamajuana, should prove to be a boon for mixology. I have come up with a couple of recipes which I quite enjoy. I will start with a coffee based recipe:
1/2 oz Hispaniola Mamajuana
1/2 oz Kahlua
1 0z Dark Rum
4 0z Hot Black Coffee (sweetened to taste)
Whipped cream
Grated semisweet chocolate and cinnamon
Pour the Hot Black coffee into a large glass mug
Sweeten to taste
Add the Hispaniola, the Kahlua, and the Dark Rum and stir
Serve with lots of whipped cream
Top with grated chocolate and cinnamon
As you can see from the picture I love whipped cream!
My next cocktail is a simple combination of grapefruit juice and Mamajuana. I like to drink this as a "shot" style drink, strictly for the medicinal benefits of the..uh..grapefruit juice! (Lots of vitamin C and other good stuff in grapefruit juice.) I call this the Grapeshot Cannon
Grapeshot Cannon
3/4 oz Hispaniola Mamajuana
1 1/2 oz Grapefruit juice
Mix in a metal shaker with ice
Strain and garnish with grated nutmeg

Intriguing post. Here in Fort Lauderdale/South Florida we are quite blessed in having a significant Dominican population.
According to several associates of mine, the aphrodisiac qualities are quite real, and can be demonstrated by sharing a glass with an unknowing friend. As a reviewer, you owe the reading public a professional examination.
We await, lol.
The real first – and totally competent examination of rum (other than historical and economic accounts) – might be accorded to Luis Ayala of "The Rum Experience" (whose book I treasure). He states the ingredients:
"# Albahaca (Basil),
# Anamú (Guinea Henweed),
# Anis Estrellado (Star Anis),
# Bojuco Caro (Princess Vine),
# Bojuco Chino (China Root),
# Bojuco de Palo Indio (Chew Stick),
# Bojuco de Tres Costilla (Basket Wood),
# Canela de Tierra (Cinnamon),
# Clavo (Whole Clove),
# Guauci (Minnie Root),
# Hoja de Canelilla (Rose Wood Leaf),
# Juana La Blanca (Button Weed),
# Manzanilla (Chamomile),
# Marabeli, Nigua (Cornutia),
# Osua (Bay Rum Tree),
# Palo Brasil (Brazil Wood),
# Raiz de Coco (Coconut Palm Root) and
# Timacle (West Indian Milkberry)""The process of making the drink involves introducing the ingredients, cut into small pieces, into a large glass bottle, then curing the ingredients by soaking them with cheap wine or rum and a bit of honey for a couple of days (up to a week or two, depending on how fresh or bitter they are), then discarding the liquid and re-filling the bottle with better quality rum. Once properly cured, the ingredients stop imparting bitterness into the liquid they are mixed with and start infusing it with more delectable aromas and flavors."
For purely sexual purposes I also recommend Ron Matusalem Gran Reserva, and Santa Teresa Anejo with a good medium bodied cigar (which need not be smoked)…

Great to see you review a Dominican classic. I'm disappointed in the overall score as I truly enjoy this rum liqueur. Of course, I've never tried this specific concoction (brand), and the recipes to make mamajuana are never the same when you ask different individuals. I for one, make my own with a bottle of twigs I bought in the DR. Not as good as some I've tasted down there, but not bad considering I can't get anything remotely close around here.

Since being appointed VUMC's Chief Compliance Officer in 2009, I have been assessing and managing issues relating to conflicts of interest, overseeing regulatory compliance in the health system, and promoting professionalism.
I feel fortunate to be designated to lead the medical center's compliance efforts to enhance Vanderbilt's growing reputation as a national leader. In this position, one of my responsibilities is overseeing the Office of Compliance and Corporate Integrity (OCCI). The OCCI is responsible for ensuring that the clinical enterprise implements and maintains an effective compliance program that includes:
While the medical center's compliance program is managed by the OCCI, it is the responsibility of everyone to ensure its success by following Vanderbilt's policies and procedures, which are designed to follow the laws, rules, and regulations that govern the health care industry, and by speaking up when we see instances that fall short of those standards. I look forward to continuing to serve the Vanderbilt community in this capacity and will strive to ensure that VUMC remains a national leader in compliance, ethics, and professional conduct.
The Office of Compliance and Corporate Integrity (OCCI) is charged with identifying and mitigating risks associated with potential violations of the anti-kickback statute, Stark Laws, the Federal and State False Claims Act and various other laws and rules that impact billing, coding and reimbursement for the Medical Center. While the OCCI is involved with a multitude of compliance related functions and responsbilities, the primary focus is compliance with billing and coding.

Just wondering if anyone has had this with their lil ones? Dylan would get fairly high fevers for a few days, with no other symptoms, or when sometimes when he does get other colds, it is very short lived and symptoms are not all that bad. I think he has gotten these sicknesses from others who were really sick for a long time. So I chalk it up to a good immunse system??? Anyhow, Kaylee has gotten two fevers. The first one had very slight runny nose and a cough for a day. The last one that she just had she did not get any other symptoms. My thoughts are that they may get a virus, they body reacts to a quick temp raise, and kills it before it gets to bad??? I dont know, but the reason why I am asking is bc kaylee is having seizures. she has had three. The first one they thought maybe was a febrile (fever of 101) then with the slight cough/runny nose for the day, the second not sure, the third had another fever, for a few hours, but no cold symptoms, other then two coughs. I wonder if she is prone to seizures, if a virus hits her body, her body reacts, then goes hay wire with a seizure????
Anyhow, any other kids with good immune systems get a fever and not much of a cold after? The docs think i'm nuts when I tell them this (not like its a first time they look at me like i'm nuts). You know how strange we are, trying to keep our kids healthy naturally?

Happy Mother's Day! Big hugs! ~ Jenny
I've added some fun new things to my Etsy shop! I'm the most excited about the above set of papers in my all-time favorite color combo... red and aqua! You likey? Hey, you knew I'd get around to doing that sooner or later! In fact I've been working away on lots of new Loopsies stuff:
As you can see, not just papers, I've done some fun scallop circle and oval frame elements, too. I'm diversifying! ZIg Zag Party is in the works, and I'll be adding it to the shop asap, but the others are already there.
Any ideas for new sets? Requests? Suggestions? I love making this stuff!
Another tada! This is my attempt at restyling the shallow shelves in my sitting room nook, Version One. It's very similar in vibe to the coffee table I showed in my last post. But I wasn't entirely happy with the result. It just seemed kind of cluttery, and the colors didn't excite me. Also, my eye kept being drawn to the structure of the shelves. So on a whim, I added some red gingham shelf edging and next thing I knew, the shelves looked like this:
Two rather different looks, wouldn't you say? I like the bright graphic quality of Version Two, but it has more of a vintage kitcheny vibe. Version One has more of a reading room/library vibe, but is less colorful and graphic. Hmmm... Here is the before pic again, which gives context to the shelves in their little nook:
I need to pick one before I tackle redoing the other shelves, and I'm on the fence... I just cannot decide. Which one do you prefer?
Tada! I finished my first two assignments for my styling class, the coffee table and couch in the living room. I didn't plan it this way, but clearly I ended up channelling a version of Vintage English Childhood. I managed to address each of the fundamental elements of good styling: needs, shapes, color, pattern, texture, placement, bling and botanicals. Justina also suggested we add some 'life' to our scenes, and that's how the vintage stuffed dog ended up there, and he conveniently provided the texture. A few detail shots:
Stepping back for the full view, showing the restyled couch as well...
I'm behind in my assignments, though. See that little dog? He... um... ate my homework.

Ok. within the past couple of months both Canon and Nikon have announced 3 new DSLRs. Which one are you excited about.
1) Canon 1DX
2) Possible Canon 5DII successor coming in the next few months
3) Nikon D4
4) Nikon D800/D800E
5) Other brand (Sony, Olympus, etc) that I am not familiar with.
I am excited about the D4 and made an order the same week it was announced, was hoping to get it today (Feb 16th) but Nikon has delayed the global shipping until sometime in March. As for the D800, which I might order one also, I am just waiting to see whether I should get the D800 or the D800E.
The D4 and my current D700 will be my workhorses for everything and if I ever decide to get the D800/E, it will be mainly for portraiture. I don't have the budget or feel like getting a medium or large format camera...too expensive and too bulky. Even for the D4, I had sell my 5DII + Canon 24 TS + Canon 24-105 to cover 2/3rd the price.

What the fuck was that? person 2: Ohh.. it's just Toucan Sam, Brenda Schwartz walking by. Are you ok? |

Robert B. Kavale MBA '65 entered into rest on May 17, 2012, at the Tracy Convalescent and Rehabilitation Center. He died of pneumonia following a long battle with Parkinson's disease. He was born in the Czech Republic on January 11, 1926, to Josef and Ludmila Kavale. Known for his quick wit and good sense of humor, he will be sorely missed by friends and family.
Mr. Kavale, a resident of Manteca for four and one-half years and former resident of Saratoga, worked in Silicon Valley for more than 30 years in the industrial engineering field. A registered professional engineer and recipient of master's degrees from two California universities, including the Santa Clara University, he helped companies to reduce waste, cut costs, and improve productivity. Among other engineering responsibilities, he designed production facilities, wrote design guidelines, and developed processes and standards.
He is survived by his loving wife of 52 years, Jean Kavale, two brothers and their spouses, Josef and Libuse Kavale and Karel and Kerstin Kavale, and several nephews and nieces. He was preceded in death by his infant son, David Joseph Kavale.
Ranny Riley '65, the psychologist best known for her work helping professional women advance their careers into the highest echelons of corporate America, died on August 14 in her home in Belvedere, Calif. She was 68.
Born Frances O'Brien Riley in 1943, in Detroit, Mich., Ranny grew up on the San Francisco Peninsula. She joined the first women's class at the University of Santa Clara. After graduating, Ranny went on to receive her Master's degree in Psychology from Boston College.
She returned home and began to help some of the Bay Area's most iconic companies, including Apple and George Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic, develop their leadership teams. She took her PhD from Fielding.
These events coincided with a transition in her professional focus from corporate leadership in general to a more specific focus on issues facing women, both in and beyond their corporate lives. She turned to coaching professional women, from CEOs to those just beginning their careers. As she put it, Ranny helped the new professional woman see herself differently and help her establish her own success in some of America's best companies.
Ranny is survived by her husband Lou Lenzen of Belvedere, by her sister Anne Riley of Burlingame and by her five brothers, Reverend Miles Riley of Half Moon Bay, Dr William Riley of Redwood City, Patrick Riley of San Francisco, Ambassador Thomas Riley of Palo Alto and James Riley of Pasadena and by her eight nieces and nephews, Francie Devlin, Lisa Lenzo, Max Riley, Joanna Weidenmiller, Conor Riley, Ryan Riley, Julia Riley, and Aili Nahas.
James R. Kline Jr. MBA '65, a resident of Healdsburg, Calif., age 76, died peacefully at his home on November 17, 2012, after a courageous battle with cancer. Jim is survived by his beloved wife of 54 years, Kay; son Dan (Tootie) Kline, daughter Mary (Dan) Echevarria, daughter Colly (Niel) Fischer; and his seven grandchildren, Tori, Peter, Cori, Riley, Bea, Nathan and Tess. Jim was predeceased by his sister Kay White. He is also survived by his nieces, Erin Neuberger & Colleen Wysong; and cousins Donald J. Kline, Sr., Keven Thompson and Colleen Haymaker. Jim was born in Denver, Colo., to his father Ray Kline and mother, Helen (Reifsnyder). While growing up in Joplin, Mo., he was a star athlete and competitor, playing both football and baseball during high school. Jim was an avid alumnus of Kansas University (KU Jayhawks) and during his college years he met Kay. The college sweethearts married on Flag Day, June 14, 1958. Jim & Kay moved westward and worked for Lockheed while completing his MBA at Santa Clara University. Jim eventually retired from Lockheed as CFO of the Lockheed Shuttle Operations Co. (LSOC) in Cape Canaveral, Fla. After retiring from LSOC, he and Kay moved homeward to California, settling in Healdsburg. In Healdsburg, Jim became an active Rotarian and supporter of the local Catholic parish, St. John's. He also enjoyed travelling and visiting their many friends and relatives. Jim's competitive spirit was always engaged, as he always played "by the rules." This carried to all aspects of his life, including golf, bridge, football pools and baseball. Jim gave us many gifts, including integrity, a strong work ethic, unwavering honesty and a keen sense of humor.
David W. Rodoni '65 was born April 19, 1942, in Oakland, Calif. to Walter and Dolores Rodoni. He died December 12, 2012 at the Windom Hospital. He graduated from Santa Clara University with a degree in math/accounting. He was the fiscal supervisor at the Toro Company in Windom where he was a 33 year employee. David married Barbara Sutherland Johnson May 18, 1971 in Chicago, Ill. He enjoyed playing cards, collecting antiques, watching old movies and spending time with his children. He loved his little poodle Wilbie who was a great comfort to him. He is survived by wife, Barbara; twin daughters, Jennifer (Kari Kustelski) Rodoni, Suzanne (Jason Herberg) Rodoni; step-children, Jerome (Patty) Johnson, Michael (Sandy) Johnson, Brian (Michele) Johnson and Angela (Ed) Johnson; brother, Jim (Michele) Rodoni. Also survived by many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, other relatives and friends.
Albert H. Mahrer MBA '65 of Grand Junction, Colorado passed away peacefully on Sunday evening, July 22, 2012 of natural causes while in the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Grand Junction. He was 85. He was a WWII Veteran.
Immediately following graduation from Lisbon High School he enlisted in the U.S. Army, having served as an SP in the Army's Special Police Unit in northern Italy where he met and married Brunine Piatti-Mahrer. Upon completion of his tour and honorable discharge, he returned to his home of Lisbon and entered North Dakota State University (NDSU) at Fargo under the GI Bill, and combined with the NDSU ROTC program, graduated with a ME degree in Aeronautical Engineering. He was commissioned as a lieutenant in the USAF and served at Edwards AFB (about 100 miles northeast of Los Angeles and home of the Air Force Flight Test Center) until rising to the rank of Captain and later his honorable discharge.
He later earned an MBA degree at Santa Clara University and a PHD in Industrial Management at the University of Northern Colorado (UNC). During his civilian career he served as a jet engine expert and consultant for Lockheed, General Electric, United Technologies, and Pratt and Whitney, major providers of jet engines and aerospace products for commercial and military aircraft. Following his career at E-Systems at Greenville (TX) as a proposal manager, he returned to UNC to teach management information systems until his final retirement. He was a member of the VFW Post of Grand Junction, Colorado and of the Knights of Columbus San Jose Council 879 at San Jose, Calif.
He is survived by one brother Lee Mahrer of Phoenix, Ariz; three sisters, Lorraine Holmstrom, Helen Tangen, and Eileen Munkeby, all of Lisbon; six children, Dr. Bobb Mahrer of Greenville, Texas, Bill Mahrer, Austin, Texas, Maria Mahrer-Lollar of Spring, Texas, Jerry Mahrer of Farmersville, Texas, James Mahrer of Palm City, FL and Sheryl Mahrer-Coffey of Grand Junction, CO; and 13 grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, Henry and Marie Mahrer of Lisbon, three sisters, Margaret Hahn, Bernice Osman, and Louise Claus, and his wife, Brunine Mahrer.

Hello hoopers!!
So I, somewhat last minute, decided to make an Electric Forest Hoop Troupe casting video (don't worry, I'm not on here to promote or anything). It was my first time making a video, but despite the fact that I didn't really know what I was doing, I really really loved the whole process of making the video. The hooping, the editing and music matching, ooh it was all so fun and I really loved the whole process of figuring out how to put it together.
I felt like my video wasn't very well received though. That wouldn't normally matter, but I've taken soooo much inspiration from other hoopers and hoop videos, and I'm really excited to start giving back to that giant pool of inspiration - so I want people to actually enjoy watching my videos and it not be a chore to watch! Anyways.. I'm not sure if it was the quality, the way I put the video together, or just my hooping itself (which I guess is understandable; I've been moving away from tricks a lot lately to just delve into some awesome feeling flowtasticness). Anyways, since I loved the process of making the video so much, I want to try to do it again (but a little more artistically inspired instead of due to a contest). So I was hoping to get some advice or tips before proceeding onto the next one! Any sort of advice is helpful... I'm a total video-making newbie!
Here's my video. Can't wait to hear some suggestions and make another one!
Lots of love to you all! <3
Tags: video
fist off you need to get lost of different clips to play with...like clips of different tricks to mash up togethere...the more varity you have the better it is for veiwers to watch without getting board, cause people cant consertrait for log periods of time
I liked your video :) the only two things that I think that really stood out in my mind was that your head was cut off a few times and the ending, it just kinda cut off boom done! but pratice makes perfect keep making video's.
Here's a excerpt from a longer article I wrote about creating hooping tutorial videos. Although it's focussed on tutorials, a lot of the advice applies to any video you make.
The rest of the article is here: http://spinmatsuri.com/2012/02/09/a-tutorial-on-hoop-tutorials/
Thanks guys I super appreciate the tips!!
Totally random and un-hoop related question... any one have tips on a good/cheap camera to buy? I'm wanting something digital that takes nice enough quality of pictures and video. I'm a super camera noob, so I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. I've become super interested in photography and videography lately, but I'm feeling quite limited with only my camera phone and webcam!
Lots of love to you all!!
In my experience, there has been 2 constant variables i find that create an awesome end result (and keep in mind that if you think your video is amazing for this reason or that, then thats ALL that matters! your opinion on the outcome is the only opinion that really matters! who else can appreciate how smooth you made that isolation look as compared to ur previous attempts - when you finally nail that 3 beat weave and you caught it on video, no one except you can get that feeling of pride and joy and confidence from understanding all you put into it and finally getting it!!!) Dont get me wrong all hoopers feel this but may not necessarily enjoy that video as you will because it is not their progression they are experiencing - what im trying to say is, TRY to understand that there will be so many viewers of that video and everyone will critique and judge and love it or leave it in their private thoughts but only a FEW may actually take the time to share their comments - Its been over a yr of hoop video creations and I STILL have trouble accepting that the lack of comments/likes/etc does not mean lack of interest every time - i have even uploaded the same video on numerous sites on multiple occasions just to test my theory if maybe there were not many folks online at the time to catch it in news feed or what have you so i would upload again to freshen the feed, but alas not much difference - more views, YES, but still no comments :( i think many people arent sure of what to say - if i make a great video with flawless dance and hoop movements with an LED hoop that turns out bright and clear, thats when i get most of the feedback - people need visual stimulation so back to the drawing board --- what is your goal with these videos, figure out who you trying to reach, who you want to watch and be moved more - a new hooper, someone who never has hooped, your parents, friends, co workers, or oh heyyyy YOURSELF! thats a good start mentally to know ur audience and what will keep em watching or inspire them!
BAck to the 2 elements i personally see surfacing in every video that I adore of myself hooping are:
while you are alone with no distractions - sit or stand or lay down or do ANYTHING but pick up the hoop YET - put your ipod on shuffle and make sure you created a playlist full of all of your ALL TIME favorite songs, and explore back into genres you may not currently be feeling but go back in time with a song that draws up crazy strong emotion, good or bad or hey it could just be a fun song that you could help but to sing to every time u hear it and your feet or legs cant sit still through! When you start seeing yourself in your minds eye hoop dancing to the song you are hearing, thats when you know you found a song that will take you and your hooping and your video to the next level :)
click here to see my latest video
forget about the techniques of each trick or iso and just dance, move with the hoop - follow dont lead, then allow yourself to forget the camera is there! (u wanna keep in mind your planes though so dont face the camera square and start weaving, it just doesnt show the true pattern and path if your not side shooting that one, but just dont over think it, you should really get a nice long lasting battery camera and large memory card and set it up and forget about it - u can always do over, edit, erase, anything is possible but i think a clear mind that is focused on the music and the emotion it draws is the foundation to creating an inspiring video and the rest is all common sense
Again, this is all my personal beliefs and it works for me, but i think every hoop dancer has the understanding of what Im trying to say especially about the music, how it makes you feel, how it makes you move, we ALL have the passion for music in common here, Oh and we ALL like to make ourselves dizzy by spinning in circles too :P jk on the last part, kinda
I want to add that there is NO LIMIT to what you can create with these gifts,the free computer programs to edit, the skills of the dance, the perfect setting, and the most incredible song/songs to match! A handful of times I have laid a completely different song on top of a video of me dancing to a whole other song and its been crazy how each time it seems like fate and it actually turns out looking cooler then if u heard the original song i was dancing to, oh this has shown true for me as well when i try to add the original mp3 to the video and mute the original sound during editing so that the echo of room is not there and the smacking of my hoop to ceiling is not distracting viewers from the dance,but what can happen is the song is like 4 secs a head or behind the timing of the original recording and after muting clip you notice that you actually POP the hoop perfectly with the drum BOOMS and your timing is altered but looks better some how - oh girl i could go on ALL night!!! I had to buy an external hard drive to store my videos on so i didnt use up all the computers internal memory, i bought a TERABYTE of memory space thats 1000 GBs of memory!!! Id say Im a tad narcissistic when it comes to recording every single time I pick up the hoop, I dont want to miss a thing!
ps many clips from diff videos isnt always necessary, just about everyone of my most popular videos are one continuous recording with maybe a few mistakes chopped out and transitioned together - the transition if not done properly is where you can lose people, especially if its sloppy or the quality changes or volume goes up in this short clip then back down again - too much room for error, ur best bet is to keep it simple short and full of heart <3

Sac O Grande - Canadian Designed Growing up in the Gaspesie, Sandra Cassivi, had dreams like most other young girls - getting to the big city where she would work in high-end marketing and fashion.
Sandra was looking for the latest looks and trying to find a handbag that would make the perfect statement without breaking her budget.

Sac O Grande was born in Montreal in 2007, and promises to deliver affordable, high fashion and most importantly gorgeous handbags that would allow women to 'finally feed their handbag habit."
Sac O Grande is not just a pretty face it has depth! Sandra and her team work hard to make each bag with quality metals, zippers and fabrics. The handbags are made of Polyurethane nicked named "PU" which is a high quality of faux leather.

"Better Than Expected"
By DJS
from Chelsea, MA.
About Me Midrange Shopper
Comments about Dimplex Warren Burnished Walnut Electric Fireplace Convertible Mantel Package - CFP3902BW:
[...]. We use this as a decorative piece and will be using it for zone heating. The online picture is beautiful,but we found the fireplace better than expected. On line the wood looked lighter and I started to have second thoughts after placing my order. When it arrived I was so thrilled. The color was a bit darker and matched my woodwork perfectly.

About Me Budget Shopper
The only change I would make is that you could turn off the flame and leave the heater on.This way when you go to bed the flame doesn't have to be on.

A true winner!
By Pilates Queen
from Hanover Township, Pa.
About Me High-end Shopper
I cannot say anything bad about this fireplace. It looks beautiful in the corner of my huge bedroom, and, I don't turn the regular heat on. I can use it in the corner or against the wall, the wood is beautiful, keeps the room perfectly warm, and you really can't ask for anything more! I love it, and, I like that I can use it in the summer by just turning the heat off! A WINNER!!

Wall or corner in one mantel package
By Priscilla
from Electric Fireplaces Direct HQ
Convertible fireplace that can be changed from a wall unit or a corner mantel unit easily. The quality mantel has a formal style and a great burnished walnut finish. Dimplex firebox is realistic and comes with a 2 year warranty. Bottom line: Great design, remote included, convertible design

Beautifully made.
By Lou's wife
from Staten Island, N.Y.
We set it up as a corner unit. It looks great and like it's part of the living room. The cabinetwork is high quality. However, I wish the flame was more attractive - it is actually quite dim and the wood and embers look somewhat unrealistic. The heating unit is sufficient for the medium sized room that it's in. I would have given it 5 stars if not for the flame.

If you rip open a bandage with latex quickly, it'll produce a tiny spark!
In simple words, this is a product of the static energy created by the friction from the glue they use.
The same applies with some brands of duct tape. You'll get the best results with the brand "duck tape". Try it yourself!

Little things that matter in language design
I wouldn't call all the packaging differences between the two distributions problems, since in many cases the best you can do is aim for eventual consistency.
For example, Debian might be frozen to the point where it won't accept certain package changes, but those changes are required by Ubuntu. That might show up as a difference in the two releases, but the change may get merged after the freeze is lifted. The same can happen in the other direction.
Debian Etch and Ubuntu Feisty: a comparison
Posted Aug 12, 2009 5:14 UTC (Wed) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link]
If Ubuntu is based on Testing or is a snapshot of Debian unstable then it should be fine not to actually provide any software other then what is in Ubuntu main and then just have people pull directly from Debian repositories.
If Debian and Ubuntu get their 'stable' releases syncronized then that should make it even more possible.
It's difficult situation both ways.
Ubuntu was created, essentially, as a response of Debian's inability to get software out on time and create a user-friendly default desktop install. (If this is not true then Ubuntu would of never reached the level of popularity that is today.. people would simply be using Debian instead)
I remember back in the day when a bunch of companies like Progeny and Xandros and all that tried to develop a "standard debian base" and all that so that they could share packages between them. But all those efforts failed because of Debian's failures and limitations. Debian was just unable to produce software releases on a dependable and timely manner.
If Debian developers could be made aware of the value and advantages to time based releases AND Ubuntu can gain the discipline in packaging to remain compatible with Debian then big benefits both ways can be realized.
That way Debian gains user-friendly desktop and Ubuntu gains credibility as a really useful OS in the business/server world. Debian's big advantage is the quality of packages and the amount of work that goes into making sure that everything is consistent, tested, and compatible. If, for example, your doing something big like setting up a Kerberos/LDAP system for Linux desktops then the packages provided by Debian will actually work for that, unlike most distros that don't get that stuff tested well or depend on proprietary products. It's obvious from the amount of details and little compatibility configurations and tools that people actually use Debian for that stuff. Ubuntu needs that sort of thing to be taken seriously as a desktop operating system for businesses.
I do NOT see any reason, other then people's hangups and personal politics, why (with work and coordination) the Debian Tasksel that you won't be able to pick 'Ubuntu Desktop' as a installer option. I also think that instead of having the 'universe' and 'multiverse' users could just point at 'deb http://ftp.debian.org/' for their extra package mirrors.
I think that would be a wonderful thing to shoot for.
Posted Aug 12, 2009 7:25 UTC (Wed) by mbanck (subscriber, #9035) [Link]
Remember that Ubuntu is only based on Debian (unstable, by the way) on the source-package level. They rebuild revery package against their own toolchain, which in general makes it unsuitable to be installed on a Debian system (and vice-versa).
Now that library dependencies are more fine-grained on the symbol level via dpkg-gensymbols, it might get easier to share binary packages (e.g. most C programs do not use features of glibc-2.8 or above, and will now only declare a Depends on, say, glibc-2.3.6), but that will have to be seen.
Probably another factor in wasted possibilities for collaboration was Launchpad: from the outside, it looked like Ubuntu developers (at least those employed by Canonical) were suggested to use Launchpad for things like packaging. On the other hand, Debian Developers could rarely be convinced to use Launchpad due to its non-freeness. Maybe this will change now as well, however there is still the somewhat incompatible choice of VCS (svn/git on the Debian side, bzr on the Ubuntu side).
Posted Aug 12, 2009 14:56 UTC (Wed) by drag (subscriber, #31333) [Link]
I don't know how much truth is in that really. In what ways are the code generated by the toolchains incompatible?
For example I've installed Chrome and a few other programs from Ubuntu's PPA on Debian and that worked just fine.
I know that for Opera offers dozens and dozens different packages for different distros.... but if you look at what is in them they all use the same binaries and install the same libraries to the same locations. Checksums and everything matches. There are a only a few different files, mostly minor things to do with packaging and the only different binary that is supplied is one for very old versions of Ubuntu that have use a different GCC C++ ABI.
Is it really neccessary for every program to be built using the same exact versions of GCC and whatnot?
Posted Aug 18, 2009 20:01 UTC (Tue) by oak (guest, #2786) [Link]
Err... Even their essential packages set is different. Ubuntu has declared python as essential. (essential = package to which other packages may not declare a dependency unless a versioned dependency is needed and without which other packages cannot be installed)
Posted Aug 20, 2009 20:38 UTC (Thu) by jengelh (subscriber, #33263) [Link]
By that logic, I should be able to capture the entire U****u fanbase by merely slapping a 1024x768 GUI installer on top of OpenBSD (they already have timely releases)!

We're after Ki sung yeung from Celtic aswell, showing that I think Hughes wants rid. Dont get me wrong I'm happy for him to stay but atm, it's not a big deal if he goes. Think Park will be used as a CM if needed aswell.

The Delaware County Daily Times (delcotimes.com), Serving Delaware County, PA
Monday, November 19, 2012
By NEAL ZOREN
Times Television Columnist
Cecily Tynan has had a couple of busy weeks.
Last week, she put together and presented her winter forecast, in which she predicts a lot of shoveling between lulls when temperatures will remain low.
This week, the Channel 6 meteorologist joins colleague Rick Williams as the lead anchor of the annual local Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The parade is only the middle part of Cecily's mid-November schedule. Like most Americans, she has a family celebration planned, one that begins before the parade takes march and continues after she and Williams announce the arrival of Santa Claus and sign off until next Thanksgiving.
Cecily describes her Thanksgiving period as "crazy busy."
Forget all the parade prep. Cecily's relatives, her brother and sisters-in-law arrive on Wednesday, the day before Thanksgiving and sit up all night chatting.
"Think lots of coffee," Cecily said.
Of course, no matter how late it is before Cecily catches up with all of the family news, she knows she is going to receive an early wake-up call to get the parade site on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia in time to say good morning to the Channel 6 audience and start talking about the first band or float.
"More coffee," she said.
"And Rick Williams's jokes help a lot. I get a kick out those."
During the parade, Cecily's family, including her children, Luke and Emma, visit the broadcast booth. She also receives texts from friends watching in Raleigh, N.C., and other place where affiliates have picked up the parade.
Right after the parade, Cecily picks her mom in Delaware County and heads home.
"I have to admit, when the parade is over, and my adrenaline is waning, I usually end up taking an afternoon nap." Cecily said. "Thank goodness my husband (Greg Watson) takes over the cooking duties. I love waking up to the smell of Thanksgiving dinner cooking. The rest of the afternoon is time for family and eating. It is not a relaxing Thanksgiving, but I wouldn't have it any other way, Rick's jokes included.
"Now that I'm a mom, it is especially fun to see how much my children enjoy the parade," Tynan continued. "A few years ago, my daughter, Emma, fell in love with one of the parade's featured singers. 'Julia' is now my children's favorite baby sitter. I think my kids look forward to seeing her every year even more than seeing Santa!"
Cecily conveys a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone and hopes everyone enjoys the day.
"And the parade."
Channel 6 to the rescue
Philadelphia's Thanksgiving Day Parade was about to be relegated to the annals of history.
It was begun in 1920 by Gimbel's department store which used the occasion to bring Santa Claus to its Center City, Ninth and Market, flagship store. Santa would actually climb a ladder and descend into a "chimney." It was quite dramatic for children.
Gimbel's went out of business and Stern's, which purchased Gimbel's stores, continued the parade. But Stern's also went out of business. The parade looked to be part of the collateral damage of the collapse of major department stores. Then 1984 came, and it looked as if for the first time in more than 60 years, Philadelphia would have no Thanksgiving march.
Channel 6 to the rescue.
Channel 6's general manager at the time, Larry Pollock, loved parades, as does current Channel 6 GM, Bernie Prazenica. His station aired the parade, and he set about to own it. Literally.
Each year, Channel 6 finds a sponsoring partner and produces the parade it airs. This year the partner is Dunkin' Donuts, and with Major Drumstick leading the charge, the show kicks off at 8:30 a.m. Thursday. Cecily Tynan and Rick Williams will be in the anchor booth. Other Channel 6 personalities, including Karen Rogers and Adam Joseph, will be schmoozing with the parade crowd. Some will be waving with their children from the Channel 6 float.
Among celebrities gracing the parade are Phillies first baseman Ryan Howard, who last year produced a remarkable number of RBIs for a player who was out of the lineup for more than half the season; Delco native Charlie McDermott, currently seen as Axel, the wayward teen, on the ABC series "The Middle;" Kristen Alderson of ABC's "General Hospital," and "Good Morning America" weathercaster Sam Champion, who returns for the fifth time.
Singers and musicians abound at the parade. These include "American Idol" finalists Justin Guarini, who was electric and superb as Billy Flynn in the Media Theatre 2011 production of "Chicago," and Joshua Ledet; current faves All 4 One singing a medley of their hits; "America's Got Talent" Season 1 winner Bianca Ryan; veteran pop star Rita Coolidge; "American Idol" alumna, Frenchie; country singer Charlie Worsham; and the cast of the current Walnut Street Theatre production, "The Music Man."
Marching from the Disney Channel is Coco Jones. Also in the line are Philadelphia radio and pop music legend Jerry Blavat, Miss America 2012 Laura Kaeppeler, and the Pennsbury High School Marching Band.
Disney is, of course, represented by Mickey and Minnie Mouse, joined by the cast of "Disney on Ice Presents Rockin' Ever After" and Rapunzel and Flynn from "Tangled." Non-Disney participants include characters from Sesame Place.
Also featured are Miss Pennsylvania, Miss Delaware, and Miss New Jersey along with Miss America's Outstanding Teen, Rachel Wyatt, and the Outstanding Teens from Pennsylvania, Delaware, and New Jersey. The Eagles cheerleaders will also appear, as will Carli Lloyd and other member of the USA gold medal soccer team from the 2012 London Olympics, Heather O'Reilly, Nicole Barnhart, and Christie Rampone.
The parade will feature a special tribute to Dick Clark, who started his climb to stardom at Channel 6.
Viewers can also watch in the 11 a.m. hour of the parade for words they can text for a chance to win prizes including mini-tablets, a video game system, and a family trip to the South Seas Island Resort in Florida.
A private affair?
Michael Strahan said the words I wanted to hear while talking about former CIA director David Petraeus and his dalliance with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
Strahan, during his daily badinage segment with morning show co-host, Kelly Ripa, said if Petraeus is the most qualified person for his various jobs, why should a romantic affair end his career and service to the nation?
Ripa talked about security and blackmail.
I go with Strahan's original thought. Yes, blackmail is possible, but what are the grounds for blackmail if the affair is known?
We live in a Judy Hensler world.
Hensler is the character on the classic sitcom, "Leave It to Beaver," who tells on everybody in the class, making the teacher, Miss Lander, investigate schoolyard incidents and impose discipline she'd rather avoid, while getting Beaver and his friends in trouble.
Hensler is the ultimate moralist, the one who can't stand if someone is having a relatively harmless good time and wants a sort of politically correct perfection.
The media these days acts as a pack of Judy Henslers. They like to appear sophisticated and broad-minded, but they are actually a bunch of back-fence gossips who are parochial and conservative in their attitudes. Until, that is, they are the ones caught in the moralistic net.
While I of course would be troubled if Petraeus shared state secrets or classified information with his mistress, or even his wife, I do care if he has a mistress or if she is jealous and emails someone she suspects to be his next mistress in threatening words.
It's not attractive, but I'd rather have Petraeus's talent working for my and my country's defense than someone with lesser military gifts. I was never interested in his wife, and I'm not interested in his mistress or the twins she regards as rivals.
If they turn out to be Mata Hari, the World War I spy that slept with generals to glean secrets, I'll recant. But for now, I don't care who Petraeus loves or has in his bed. I care that he is brilliant and has been the difference that improved situations in Iraq and Afghanistan.
If Bill Clinton could have affairs, and many presidents before him, why not David Petraeus?
Besides, as Barbara Walters said on "The View," Broadwell is a biographer and archivist. It would be legitimate for her to be privy to some otherwise private information and to hold her tongue regarding it.
I refer readers to play from the 1920s, Harley Granville Barker's "Waste," in which a man everyone, Tory and Labour, thinks should be prime minister is driven from public life by a sex scandal. Barker dramatically poses the question Strahan did.
The media, from political analysts to "Good Morning America's" Lara Spencer, have to be careful about moralism. It's as much a poison as scandal itself.

Governing on Empty
The Senate, having struck its compromise, has gone home. The House, controlled by delusional Republicans, has gone home. Payroll taxes are slated to rise, and unemployment insurance is set to expire before they return in January. The compromise wasn't just between the two parties in the Senate, apparently. According to Wednesday's Washington Post, House Speaker John Boehner and House Majority Leader Eric Cantor met with Senate GOP leader Mitch McConnell on Friday and told him they'd get the votes to pass the two-month extension deal he'd worked out with Harry Reid. But Boehner, who is turning out to be the weakest speaker since the House was first gaveled to order in 1789, couldn't hold his troops, whose caucus meetings, by numerous accounts, increasingly resemble the pep rallies of cults that have lost all feel for how other humans think.

1) How did you hear about the gym originally?
Mike and I have a history together. Every gym he worked at I followed him and trained with him at those gyms. I had lost my job and didn't have the funds to continue to train. One day I was browsing on Facebook, his name popped up and I messaged him because I was just really unhappy with myself and told him I needed to get back into the gym. I went to visit his gym and the rest was history.

GAFFNEY — Thomas "Tom" Alan Wheeler, 56, 166 Walker Farm Road, Gaffney, SC, died Nov. 30, 2012, in Gaffney, S.C., as the result of an autombile accident. He is a son of George A. Wheeler of Gaffney, and the late Joan S. Wheeler.
Born March 21, 1956, in Spartanburg County, Tom was a "native son" of the Sunnyside Community in lower Cherokee County. You won't find Sunnyside on the map, but that's what the local folks have always called this stretch of good farm country between the Broad and Pacolet Rivers. Tom made his home by the creekside on his piece of the family farm.
As a songwriter and musician, his music reflected the good things about country living and his connection to the land and the people. He enjoyed woodworking, telling tall tales and beekeeping. Tom worked previously in the timber industry.
In addition to his father, he is survived by one brother, David Wheeler and wife Robin Alexander of Gaffney; two sisters, Mary Lois Wheeler of Union and Jan Whelchel and husband Wendell of Gaffney; a niece, Julie Phillips of Gaffney; and his faithful canine companion, "Horrible."
A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held Saturday, Dec. 8, 2012, at 1 p.m., with Revs. Tommy Hill and Toby Pope officiating, at Salem Presbyterian Church, Gaffney. The family will visit with friends after the service. At other times, they will be at their respective homes.
You may remember Tom with memorials to Cherokee County Meals On Wheels, 403 W. Montgomery St., Gaffney, S.C., 29341.

Satisfaction Rating:
"Too many repairs"
We had a weatherking natural gas with weatherking 1.5 ton A.C. installed in Oct.94'. In May,99', we had to replace the Evaporator Coil/ cost $300. In Nov.99' replaced flame rod. On 2/01', replaced Ignitor Bar and again in 4/03'. Finally replaced limit switch twice between 2006 and 2008. It just seems that it was one problem after another. Our installer confirmed that the evaporator coil should not have gone bad within that short of time. Our last repairman told us he had sold Weatherking in the past but found too many issues with them so stopped selling them.

Satisfaction Rating:
"Used to be good"
We have a 90% WeatherKing. Never had a problem until recently. The gas supply pipe would rattle upon ignition and it would take several tries before it would ignite if at all. Most of the time it locks out because it can't light. They replaced the gas valve but the problem remains. They then replaced the control board. Problem still remains. They aslo replaced some other parts and it still does the same thing. Our hvac company that is working on this has been great as we have only paid for the gas valve. They removed the small plugs on the side for now to let more air into the furnace and it is working fine. Yes they made sure that the air inlets and outlets were not plugged. The service company has been here for several days from the early afternoon to 11 or 12 at night trying to figure this out. They now have a call into Weatherking for thier advice.It seems that the furnace is wanting to much air and not getting it. Nothing has changed as far as piping etc. I will let you know.

We bought our house with this furnace already installed. We have had the blower motor go out 2 years ago and now the igniter. This furnace cannot keep our house warmer than 65 degrees, and in Michigan that's not good enough
Location: Seattle, WA
Years owned: 8
Satisfaction Rating:
Had 90% efficient gas furnace that went bad after 8 years. I am told that 10 years is the typical lifetime but man the other furnace was 20+ years old. All I can say is buy the best filter you can get and change it often. On the plus side, the system is modular so only those units that needed changing were replaced. But I had to buy the whole furnace anyway.

X3 Live with Flextone iii and a stereo extension cab
Like (0)
I'm about to purchase an extension cab for my Flextone iii plus and I wanted to ask what the best cabling method would be to connect my X3 live to the Flextone amp, in order to take advantage of the stereo effects and dual channel tone capabilities on the X3. I'm assuming I'll be able to route the X3 live to drive tone one through left speaker and tone two to right speaker etc. Also, I'm fine to use the X3 live for amp modelling and effects so bypassing the Flextones modelling capabilities would be fine.
If this was my setup, I'd dial in a flat, clean tone on the Flextone as there is no true bypass.
Plug the left analog output of the POD into the Guitar Input of your Flextone.
Remember that all of your stereo effects will still be summed to mono. The only way you can have a true stereo image is if you were plugging into the amp itself in stereo.
I really wasn't sure what I could expect with the combination of my Flextone III amp and a POD X3 Live combined with a separate stereo extension cabinet, Your reply left me thinking I'd made a mistake and bought too much gear that wouldn't really work together, but I am ECSTATIC TO REPORT THAT IT DOES WORK. In fact, it works so well I can barely believe my ears. All of the effects and dual tone sounds run in true stereo. It is literally, the exact same sound that I'm getting with a great pair of stereo headphones plugged directly into the X3 Live.
I've connected my guitar to the the Pod X3 guitar input. The Pod X3 Live to the Flextone's L/R effects return, (using the Pod's 1/4" L/R outputs).
I have a dummy plug in the Flextone's amp input and an extension speaker cabinet running from the R channel speaker out on the Flextone III.
I can control the Flextone via the volume control, but the amp's tone controls, amp and cab models and effects are disabled. (Exactly what I wanted).
Now I control all of the amp and cab models, effects, stereo settings etc. on the X3 Live. THE RESULT IS UNBELIEVABLE!
Can you please explain what I've done with this configuration? Have I bypassed the Flextone's preamp and models etc?? It certainly sounds like it.
Anyway, LINE 6 -- you guys have really nailed it - thank you!!
The fx-return is routed after the flex pre-amp. If you visualize it, you can say that it's more or less connected directly to the flex power-amp.
Please remember that if you have the stereo version you need to make sure that both speakers are sounding (connect to both fx-returns) otherwise you'll loose some sound (at least on my flex-II).
Also, try to search for the 4-cable medhod (4-cm) in this forum. This may give you better control as well, especialy when connected to an 'analog' amp.
The POD XT was good, but I ended up selling it because it took way too much effort to set up and my band hated the amount of time I spent trying to balance out volume levels between channels. The M13 is light years ahead of the POD.
the M13 effects are now in the new pod HD's
