Teeccino - Chocolate Organic Herbal Coffee Dark Roast Caffeine Free 10 Tee-Bags (2.12 oz./60g)
Teeccino Chocolate Herbal Coffee Dark Roast is organic, naturally caffeine free, and non acidic. Teeccino Chocolate Herbal Coffee has a velvety chocolate taste layered over a lush, dense body with a hint of heat from chilies, which gives this flavor a dark roasted intensity to delight the senses.
When Montezuma was drinking his "Nectar of the Gods," a brew that combined cocoa beans with vanilla, honey, and chilies, he knew what he was doing. Just a bit of heat generated from those chilies will wake up your system with just the right amount of stimulation. It's subtle so it won't overwhelm your senses, yet it provides a gentle prod with warmth for your digestion and circulation.
Though Teeccino can't guarantee that it will bestow longevity on you like it was reputed to do for the royal Aztec lineage, they can tell you that Montezuma and his Maya neighbors knew how to create exciting flavor that is worthy of the Gods. Roasted coffee and chocolate notes from ramon nuts blended with cacao, vanilla and chile - now this is truly an exalted beverage from the New World brought to you courtesy of Teeccino!
Every cup offers you many health benefits:
Now you can enjoy a steaming cup of deliciously rich, deep-roasted, fresh brewed flavor that delivers all the satisfaction without the caffeine and acidity of coffee! Teeccino (tee CHEE no) is a nutritious blend of herbs, grains, fruits and ramon nuts, a nutrient-rich food of the Maya civilization, that are roasted & ground to brew and taste like coffee.
Enjoy Teeccino Many Ways
About Teeccino Herbal Coffee
Teeccino Caffeine-free Herbal Coffee is a delicious blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted and ground to brew and taste just like coffee.
Coffee lovers are attracted to Teeccino's full-bodied, dark roasted flavor and its nutritious health benefits. Those who can no longer drink coffee may experience caffeine withdrawal, and weaning oneself off coffee with Teeccino is a great way to avoid these effects, by quitting caffeine painlessly.
Teeccino allows coffee drinkers to keep their cherished coffee ritual with all the enjoyment and satisfaction of a freshly brewed cup! Unlike instant coffee substitutes, Teeccino brews just like coffee in all types of coffee brewers. Teeccino prefers the term "herbal coffee" or "coffee alternative" to "coffee substitute" since no one calls herbal tea a "tea substitute", now do they?
Teeccino Frequently Asked Questions
Is Teeccino all natural and healthy for me?
Yes! Teeccino is created from all natural ingredients that are nutritional and have been consumed by humans for thousands of years. Teeccino is low in calories, has only three grams of carbohydrates, one gram of fiber, and no fat.
What do you mean by herbal coffee?
Herbal coffee is brewed from herbs that have been roasted and ground to brew and taste like coffee. Most people are aware that there is no "milk" in soy milk, and there is no "burger" in a veggie burger. However, many people don't remember that there is no "tea" in herbal tea.
Tea always used to refer to Camelia sinensis, the plant that has been grown for centuries to produce black tea. But now they have green tea, red tea, white tea, and herbal tea. The term "tea" has become a generic term for leaves, bark, flowers, roots and spices that are brewed in hot water like true tea. Teeccino hopes that one day people will also understand "herbal coffee" as easily as they now understand soy milk!
How do I quit coffee?
Over a two week period, start blending Teeccino with your coffee. Begin with 3/4 coffee, and 1/4 Teeccino and gradually increase the amount of Teeccino until you are drinking 100% Teeccino. Herbal tonics and nutritional supplements can also aid you in restoring your own natural energy supply.
Will Teeccino give me an energy boost?
Many people experience an energy lift from drinking Teeccino. The nutrients in Teeccino are in liquid form, making them very bio-available and quickly absorbed. Teeccino replenishes potassium, an electrolyte mineral that stimulates nerve impulses, helps oxygenate the brain, and enhances athletic performance.
The potassium in Teeccino is completely natural, coming from the ingredients themselves. Sports drinks rely on added potassium to achieve the same effect, but Teeccino's natural potassium is at an even higher per serving quantity than sports drinks. Thus many people find Teeccino makes a re-energizing drink after workouts.
Another factor that may explain why people experience an energy lift from Teeccino is the pinitol that is naturally present in carob pods. Pinitol has been shown to act like insulin by making cells receptive to taking in glycogen, the energy component in the blood. The natural pinitol in carob may help people who are insulin resistant by increasing the ability of their muscles to use glycogen.
What makes Teeccino's flavors natural?
Teeccino uses only pure, natural flavors made from flavoring constituents that are extracted from natural ingredients like fruits, spices, herbs and even coffee. Teeccino flavors do not contain any constituents from meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, or edible yeast. Teeccino does not allow any monosodium glutamate, propylene glycol, or preservatives in its flavors.
All Teeccino flavors are 'organic compliant' which means that no ingredients are allowed in them that have been extracted using synthetic solvents or that are not permissible in organic products according to the USDA National Organic Program.
Is there caffeine in the natural coffee flavor in Teeccino?
Flavor houses extract the flavor components from all natural ingredients in order to create natural flavors. In the case of Hazelnut flavor, the flavor is extracted from a hazelnut paste and other nut pastes. In the case of coffee flavor, the components of coffee flavor are extracted from a number of ingredients that include both coffee, chicory and even, believe it not, garlic! Who would imagine that coffee and garlic share the same flavor component?
The expertise of flavor chemists allows them to use natural ingredients to derive flavors without getting all the components of each source. Thus it is possible to produce coffee flavor without caffeine, which in any case doesn't contribute to the flavor of coffee. Watch out though for coffee flavored ice cream, yogurt, etc. because these foods usually contain a coffee concentrate or even ground coffee beans that do have caffeine. I make sure that the flavors they use are completely natural and don't contain harmful ingredients like propylene glycol, a petroleum product that is added to many food and skin care products, or MSG, preservatives, etc.
Does Teeccino buy fair trade ingredients?
Most of Teeccino's ingredients are grown in Europe & the USA by first world farmers. Teeccino sources organic chicory in India and wild-crafted ramon nuts in Guatemala, which allows them to work in developing countries with small family farmers and rainforest villages. These ingredients create new trade that provides more economic opportunities in regions where sources of income are scarce.
Fair trade is very important for commodity-driven products where exploitation is common. Creating new trade provides more ways to raise the quality of life for rural communities. By drinking Teeccino, you join Teeccino in supporting families devoted to organic values in both first world and developing countries.
Is Teeccino good for people with acid reflux, GERD & IBS?
Yes! Teeccino has many customers who drink Teeccino because they gave up coffee after being diagnosed with acid reflux and/or inflammatory bowel disease like IBS. Coffee, both caffeinated and decaffeinated, is highly acidic and stimulates an increase in gastric acids. Coffee is also shown to speed up the process of gastric emptying, which may lead to acidic contents passing into the small intestine too soon. This could injure the intestinal tissue causing very unpleasant symptoms.
Teeccino's potassium content will help correct symptoms of metabolic acidity. Inulin, a soluble fiber in Teeccino that comes from chicory root, supports a healthy population of beneficial microflora in both the gut and the colon. If you suffer from digestive disorders, Teeccino highly recommends weaning yourself off of coffee using the Teeccino 2 week program. Also, taking probiotics when you first start drinking Teeccino will help establish the good bacteria for the inulin to support.
Does Teeccino have an acidic or alkaline effect in the body?
Drinking Teeccino helps you reduce acidity in your body in two ways:
Does Teeccino need to be refrigerated like coffee?
No! Teeccino won't go stale like coffee because it doesn't have coffee oils which go rancid if unrefrigerated. Just replace the plastic cap on your can of Teeccino and it will last for at least two years. Brewed Teeccino can last up to five days in your refrigerator making it easy to drink iced Teeccino in the summer.
Is Teeccino GMO Free?
Teeccino is completely GMO free. Fortunately, Monsanto and others haven't seen fit to tinker with the genetic composition of most of the ingredients that are used in Teeccino. Teeccino is vigilant however with all their suppliers requesting a guarantee that the ingredients they supply do not contain GMOs. There is some GMO experimentation with barley to make it resistant to a fungus called barley scab, but fortunately it is still restricted to the laboratory and has not been successful so far!
Are the ingredients in Teeccino organic?
Teeccino's seven Teeccino Mediterranean flavors (Almond Amaretto, Chocolate Mint, Hazelnut, Java, Mocha, Original & Vanilla Nut) are certified as 75% organic. Their Maya flavors (French Roast (formerly Caffé), Chai & Chocolaté) are certified USDA Organic which means that at least 95% of their ingredients are certified organic. Their Boutique flavors have a selection of both USDA Organic and 85% organic variations.
Carob, barley, chicory root, and ramon nuts used in Teeccino are all certified organic. Some of Teeccino's other ingredients are organic too, but they may not be declared certified on their label due to problems with consistent supply. Any ingredient listed as organic on the label is certified by Quality Assurance International of San Diego, CA.
Does Teeccino's grind work in all the different brewing methods?
Yes! Teeccino contains a variety of ingredients which are each ground to different specifications. This composite grind allows Teeccino to be brewed in a variety of ways; from a drip coffee maker to a French press pot or an espresso machine.
Is Teeccino safe for pregnant women and nursing mothers?
Yes! All the herbs in Teeccino have been in the human diet for thousands of years. There are no stimulants or drugs like caffeine that could cause uterine contractions or hyperactivity by the infant. Teeccino is nutritious for both Mom and baby.
Herbal Tea & Herbal Coffee: Their Origins
Teeccino is the creation of Caroline MacDougall, an award winning herbal beverage designer for such companies as The Republic of Tea, Yogi Tea, Uncle Lee's Tea, and Organic India. Caroline chose nutritious ingredients that have been safely consumed as foods for thousands of years to create the rich body of Teeccino. Teeccino tastes so much like coffee that people think there must be coffee in it!
When herbal tea was introduced to the American market in the early 1970's, tea drinkers complained that herbal tea wasn't really tea at all since it doesn't contain Camellia sinensis, the caffeine-containing plant known as "tea" from which they get black tea, green tea, oolong tea, and white tea. Tea connoisseurs still think that herbal tea should be called an infusion or like the French and Italians call it, a "tisane". But Americans are more practical. If it brews and looks like tea, but it's caffeine-free and made from herbs, it's simply called herbal tea.
When the 1990's came along and coffee bars were being opened everywhere, Caroline was inspired to create Teeccino, a new herbal beverage that brews, looks and tastes like coffee although it's made from naturally caffeine-free herbs. In the beginning, she called Teeccino an "herbal espresso" because she began brewing it in an espresso machine, but finally, it dawned on her that everyone wanted to brew Teeccino whichever way they preferred to brew coffee. Of course, she realized, Teeccino is herbal coffee! It was one of those things that after you say it, it's so obvious, you wonder what took you so long.
Both tea and coffee contain caffeine, a drug that triggers the body's stress response called the "flight or fight" syndrome. Too much caffeine can aggravate stress and many other health conditions whose symptoms are made worse from caffeine consumption. Herbal beverages offer a wide variety of healthful properties without any caffeine so they can be drunk any time of the day and as much as you like!
Herbal teas and herbal coffees contain herbs that have been consumed over many millennia for their healthful and medicinal properties. Herbal teas and herbal coffees are made from herbs that are safe to drink on a daily basis. Rest assured that pharmaceutical herbs that shouldn't be consumed regularly are not used in herbal beverages or wellness teas.
Teeccino hopes you enjoy the many herbal beverages Caroline has developed for your tasting pleasure and to improve your health.

Holiday shoppers are finding ways around shipping fees and Nogales business is making the most of it.
Patricia Rodriguez has been working for Correo Federal for about eight years. In that time she says the shipping and receiving company has grown tremendously.
"Our clientele is everybody from the little old lady three blocks away to a professor in Mexico City." she said.
In the last few years business has grown about 40 percent, from clients to package pick ups.
She says the majority of her customers are Mexican nationals who use the service to guarantee they get the delivery.
"If its held in customs and you're not told about it, weeks could go by. Its easier for me to receive it here, check it in, let them know I have their boxes and we'll proceed from there," she said.
Here's how it works: Correo Federal gets the package, repacks it, takes it to customs and then its on its way.
Or for people like Lucia Juerez who lives in Sonora, Nogales they just pick it up. Today she picked up a TV she bought online.
She says the chances of her getting the TV in Mexico would have never happened, especially since she rents her home.
And although she has to pay for the service she says it's well worth it.
"The convenience the cost of the goods. Where this television here is $400 in Mexico its up to $900," she said.
It's a risk and they don't want to take a risk, they've already invested in the product and now they have to see if they are going to get it, its not worth it to them." Rodriguez said.
Rodriguez says the convenience and popularity of online shopping has really help the business.
She says they get about 100 boxes a day and just a couple of years ago it used to be 50 boxes a week.

I've got several commercial pads but I want to make my own for kicks. anybody got a good patern/template or pictures of their home brewed Landing strips? Beta on their contruction would be great as well.
I would be interested in this as well if someone has more info.
I second this... it'd be cool to see what people have made...
My roommates are from MN and they say the owner from Organic (form MN) is super nice...I'm sure he wouldn't mind offering some advice..
Organic Climbing has a couple of videos on how they make their crashpads on their website. May help you out: www.organicclimbing.com/
I got pissed at the airlines for changing the luggage size from 72" to 62" and I was heading to JTree. So I made a pad that would fit within their guidelines and still maybe soften the landing. It is a trifold - 48"x36"x3.5". Folded up it is 36"x12"x12". The foam is 2" of open cell and 1.5 of closed with that gym carpet top (got some gym scraps). It was kind of a tricky sewing job, with a good bit of hand sewing involved to close all the foam pockets. I put some straps on it to close it up and carry it on my back, but some of them tore off. Also used a velcroed on cloth to close the center seam. I'm no Organic designer or anything. I posted some picks in my album. Click on my name to see them I guess?
i think the real trick is getting the foam and fabric at reasonable costs. i remember my friend looked into it, and could only find the materials in bulk. that being said, i'd just take a look at the pads that you have, and go from there. maybe read up on the manufacturer specs to get an idea on materials.
I've been looking into this recently, want to make a big beast of a pad to take out on solo ventures. Anyone have any luck finding decent supplies of foam, closed and open-celled?
Asana will sell foam sized for their pads at a pretty reasonable cost and you can sew your own cover for it for very cheap.
I've found that couch and chair foam is a little too soft for pads. Plus what you really need is appropriate hard cell to disperse the impact. 1 or 1.5 inches on one or two sides.
Just a quick Question--- What makes Organic pads organic?
Already mentioned, but be very careful with the sofa/couch foam. Really tall, and too soft, very easy to roll ankles.
Try here, free shipping on orders over $75 The Foam Factory
Here are two crashpads I've made:
Oh yeah, one more tip. If you're making a big crash pad, I highly recommend sewing in some baffles. If you don't, and you stuff it with loose foam scraps, it will balloon into a football shape which could be dangerous when you land on it. You can see in this photo where I sewed baffles (the two straight lines in the middle of the pad).
Thanks Mike for the tips. Any more information would be much appreciated as well. I am ordering the scraps tonight and I plan on making a couple of these for my woody that is almost complete. When you land on it, does it bottom out? Would putting carpet on it disperse the impact at all if it does bottom out? How difficult was the sewing of the fabric? Thanks for any advice you can give. Edit: also, you found muslin wide enough to make one big strip on top? I dont see a seam on top, so it would appear that is the case.
If you plan on heading to Joshua Tree and are flying in (see Adam's comment above), another option is renting a pad from Joshua Tree Outfitters. They also rent camping gear. joshuatreeoutfitters.com/Miscellaneous.aspx
Yes, that is one big piece of muslin. You should be able to get fabric at least 5' wide. That pad does not bottom out. It depends on how much foam you put in there. If you find that it's bottoming out, put in more foam. The sewing isn't too hard because you are mostly doing long straight lines. However, it's never a bad idea to have an expert do it for you, if you have one available. You are dealing with a ton of fabric which can be tricky to feed through the sewing machine, but it's not impossible. Make sure you put the opening along the longest edge of the pad, or you will have trouble getting all the foam in there.
Well Mike. Thanks for the advice. I attempted my first huge pad today with enough stuff for 2 more. It certainly doesnt look as good as yours. Itlooks like blown up footballs between the baffles. It will work for falling on your knees, but it looks like an ankle breaker with the odd shaped foam pieces inside. How did yours turn out so flat and smooth looking? Did you put the foam pieces in like tetris to get a perfect fit?
Haven't tried it out on anything super highball, but me and my friends used two old spring mattress stacked on top of each other, it worked for problems about 20 feet high, nobody complained about the impact

Review submitted: February 3, 2014 Date of arrival: January 1, 2014
This was a very cute town house on a very pretty lake. You could watch fire works from one of the parks every night at 8PM. There is a restaurant next door, you can walk to that had good food and fair prices. The customer service was very good. The location was great right near Disney, Epcot, Universal, the water parks, banks, restaurants etc. The town house supplies every thing you may need while away from your home. The bad part is the traffic. When trying to get on to Turkey Lake Road there should be a caution light or better means of getting across to the other side of the street when you need do. The traffic on I4 and Sand Lake Rd was so very bad. Dangerously bad. Some road engineering needs to be done to re-route non vacationers because people who live there permanently don't have any patience for vacationers trying to find a road , grocery store etc, they just as soon run you off the road. They will blast the horn at you and flip the bird. I learned to just smile and wave at them. I think that bothers them more. That was our main problem, the traffic. My concern was for people with children vacationing and having to drive in the traffic there.

Owners response:
Thank you for your positive comments about the townhome!
Good discussion about traffic too. Your concern for traffic is common no matter where you stay in Orlando! Kissimmee is even worse. Our cities do not have a good mass transportation system. Many requests come in asking if getting around without a car is possible - it's possible but not easy which is why there is so much traffic!
The comment about safety of people with children having to drive here is the same issue. We have over 55 MILLION visitors to Orlando every year. Most are here with their children for the thrill of Disney, SeaWorld and Universal. One good point is that with heavy traffic, cars move slower in general and our traffic accident count is very low. Turkey Lake Road, the street where the townhome entry is, has a street light just a block away, so patience when waiting to get on the road is your best bet. There will be a break in the traffic at regular intervals.
About the townhome location - you DO NOT HAVE TO GET ON THE bumper to bumper Interstate 4 to get to any of those parks, restaurants, stores or shopping! That's one of the reasons many guests rate the location 5 star. You can even walk to the open 24 hour Wal-Mart and there are well lighted sidewalks. With an on-site restaurant and at the resort next door with a market and deli, you don't even need to leave the property for food.
Taxi service is available and quick to pick up. Orlando is building a tri-rail system to ease the load from the airport to Disney and for local commuters. It's about three years out but Orlando city fathers recognize the problems and are working to improve our roads.
When you visit best advice is to GPS where you are going or plan your route using maps included in the welcome brochure before you get on the road. Many people come here from more rural areas and are not used to so much road activity. Tourists will cut over 5 lanes and locals realize that - we do try to watch out for typical lost souls on the road. Tourists need to watch out for each other too! Sorry someone was so rude to you. It's very rare for people to honk their horns in our town. Most folks find that after a day or so they know their routes and the closer you can stay to whatever park you are visiting the better. Guests will find the townhome location is great.

Great Location, quiet community
Review submitted: August 7, 2013 Date of arrival: July 26, 2013
Purchased this condo for my parents anniversary gift to Disneyworld. The owner is extremely responsive and answered my questions as I booked the unit. Pet friendly, which allowed my parents the choice to bring their dog or not. My parents said the location was perfect - only a few minutes from DisneyWorld and and easy on/off exit. Somehow, they could not hear any freeway traffic from the condo! They loved how quiet it was. During their trip, they had a question about the condo and the owner had provided her phone number and was extremely responsive to them. Received refund of deposits promptly. Overall, excellent experience!

Hi Gayle! In spite of cool temperatures, we had a great time in Orlando. It was a great way to spend some time with my daughter before she headed back to college.
Your townhome worked out perfectly for us. It was very clean and quiet and the location was great. Thank you for the quick refund of our security balance.
Thanks again,

We cannot thank you enough for hosting us in Orlando. We had an absolutely wonderful time. The townhouse was such fun - like having a vacation home of our own. David liked to go down to the lake every morning and watch the birds drying their wings and the fish jumping. It was quiet there too and I liked that there is a guard at the gate house. We felt comfortable and safe. We'll always remember our stay - worked out great to take the cruise from nearby Cocoa Beach too!

Sign up for free UK Haptics newsletters.
According to Encarta, haptics is defined as 'tactile sensation applied to computer applications' which bascially translates from our viewpoint into
software that enables users to 'feel' their interaction with the computer program. If you've watched Star Trek, then you could think of it as a desktop holodeck.
Although force feedback is common in computer games, it can bring real benefits to training environments of all kinds.
UK Haptics is looking primarily at medical and clinical training environments and the benefits of practising technique to establish confidence and competence in nursing
students in particular. Imagine the benefits of a situation where you can practise a procedure in a number of life like scenarios,
learning as you do so how to improve and perfect your technique in a safe environment which poses no risk to patients, but where you
do obtain feedback and metrics on performance.
Because our training is virtual, there are no costly disposables to buy, so not only can you do more training but you can do it more cheaply, and
our software gives you full feedback on performance, how's that for innovation in training?
In UK Haptics training software, haptics technology enables you to touch a 3D virtual model, use tools to interact with the
model, and even feel the model! This means that in Virtual Veins you can feel the 'pop'
as the needle enters the vein.
Using haptics allows us to produce training software that realistically
simulates the sensations you would encounter with a real patient, but in a totally safe environment. Interestingly an added bonus of
working in the UK Haptics simulated training environment is the fact the reality creates a greater depth of empathy, so much so that we have students
apologising to the software for hurting it, and so far its helped a number of students get over issues of feeling unable to insert a needle into a human.
The last one is an interesting one, because where students train on a mannikin often the first time they feel they can't perform the procedure is when
they are face to face with a patient who needs to be cannulated.
Using haptics in programs such as Virtual Veins, allows:
If you'd like more information on how Virtual Veins could help your organisation improve training and reduce costs OR if your
organisation or company would like to work with UK Haptics to develop some training then please

A man suspected of threatening a pregnant woman at knifepoint, tying her up and robbing her northwest Portland jewelry store was arrested Wednesday night at the Lloyd Center Mall.
Eric Eno, 31, is not only accused of robbing Little Things Jewelry Shop on April 22, but he's also been linked by police to a Wednesday night robbery at the Wigland wig store located at Northeast 10th Avenue and Broadway.
At around 6:30 p.m. at Wigland, police said, Eno showed a knife, then tied up the employee in a back room.
The victim managed to untie himself and then struck Eno with a golf club before he ran out of the store toward the Lloyd Center mall, police said.
Police officers quickly canvassed the area and examined surveillance video from nearby stores to track Eno down at a Stanfords restaurant.
They arrested him without further incident.
Eno now faces two counts each of kidnapping and robbery.
Late last month, FOX 12 spoke with Andrea Angell, the owner of Little Things Jewelry Shop, who said the robber apologized while robbing her.
"He was remorseful and he was saying I'm sorry I'm doing this to you and I have a drug problem and I just need some cash," said Angell.
Eventually, Angell was able to free her hands and call 911.
Employees at Western Bike Works, a nearby bike shop, think the suspect later tried to help the victim.
Around 7:30 p.m., someone with a restricted number called the bike shop twice and told them the woman in the jewelry store was in trouble.
"We were informed that the woman across the street had locked herself in her store and that the keys were underneath the dumpster," said Patrick Bohan, from Western Bike Works.
When Bohan went to get the woman's keys, he noticed police pulling up and he pieced the incident together.
Eno will make his first court appearance Friday.

Building eco homes of the future
3:30pm Friday 22nd June 2012
Apprentices are developing their skills on a ground-breaking project at Noble Park, Epsom.
Forty apprentices are working for developer Crest Nicholson on the development which includes working on five cutting-edge, eco-friendly homes.
Under the title AIMC4, the homes are being delivered as part of a wider consortium project created to research and build mass-market carbon efficient homes which optimise the fabric of the building.
The project is supported by funding from the Technology Strategy Board, and the outcome will be the development of a series of low energy, easy-to-maintain and cost-effective homes for the future.
Crest Nicholson's chief executive Stephen Stone, said: "Working on the groundbreaking new homes at Noble Park has provided an unparalleled opportunity for our apprentices to be at the cutting edge of developing new construction techniques and technologies."

New Graduate Programs at Queen's for 2009
Ten new graduate studies programs being launched at Queen's University this fall reflect the changing landscape of both the academic and professional worlds.
These new programs are diverse, ranging from specialized study in cancer research to a master's level program in the newly-named Gender Studies Department; several are multi-disciplinary, with courses offered by two or more departments.
"The fact that many of Queen's new graduate programs also have an interdisciplinary focus speaks to prevailing interest in society to ask questions that lie at the intersection of singular disciplines," says Janice Deakin, Dean, Graduate Studies & Research at Queen's University. "There are many spin-off benefits to having an increased number of graduates on campus, including assisting in the recruitment and retention of new faculty members, improving the pool of potential teaching assistants, and enhancing opportunities for interaction between graduates and undergraduates."
For more details and contact information for each of the 10 programs, please click on the program name below.
The new programs are:
• Aboriginal and World Indigenous Educational Studies (MEd)
This part-time blended (on-line and on-campus) MEd program in Aboriginal and World Indigenous Educational Studies is intended to develop leadership abilities and provide hand's on experience.
• Biomedical Engineering (MASc, PhD)
This course is fueled by the demand for increasingly sophisticated medical devices and treatment methods required by our aging society.
• Biostatistics (MSc)
The demand for biostatisticians in Canada and internationally is very high and graduates will find excellent employment opportunities upon completion of their studies.
• Cancer Research (MSc, PhD)
This program will formally link the unique strengths of the participating departments in cancer research, creating an optimal training opportunity.
• Cultural Studies (MA, PhD)
This program intersects the humanities, science studies, the social sciences and the arts and comprises 61 distinguished faculty from 20 different disciplines.
• Economics and Law (Combined MA / JD)
There are many areas in which we need experts who understand both economics and the law: the financial crisis of the past year is a good example of this relationship in action.
• Gender Studies (MA)
Gender Studies points to the recent opening up of gender categories, encompassing racial, gendered and sexual diversity.
• Global Development Studies (MA)
"Recession," "peak oil," "food crisis" and "pandemic" are common currency in the business media. This program offers new ways of thinking about and practical approaches to addressing global inequalities.
• Law (PhD)
This program will provide students with the opportunity to engage in intense research and writing necessary for work in policy development, government, international organizations, and the judiciary.
• Public Health (MPH)
With the emergence of infectious diseases such as SARS and H1N1, and the growing burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mental illness, this new program provides a broad mastery of the subject and methods necessary to public health practice in Canada.
Aboriginal and World Indigenous Educational Studies (MEd)
This is a part-time blended (on-line and on-campus) Master's of Education program in the field of Aboriginal and World Indigenous Educational Studies intended for students with experience in Aboriginal communities. It is designed to develop leadership abilities and theoretical, practical, and experiential knowledge.
"Because our new masters program is taught largely online with only one summer residency, it attracts students from national and international locations. Our courses have been created and are taught primarily by Aboriginal scholars or those with expertise in the field," says Rebecca Luce-Kappler, coordinator, Graduate Studies and Research, in the Faculty of Education at Queen's.

Biomedical Engineering (MASc, PhD)
This collaborative program links the graduate programs in Chemical, Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and provides shared learning experiences, bringing students from a variety of backgrounds together to learn about research methodology and professional practice in the field of Biomedical Engineering. This area is diverse and multi-disciplinary, bringing in concepts from chemistry, mechanics, biochemistry, cell biology and physiology.
"Although the demand for some engineering specialties are expected to plateau or decline in the future, the US Bureau of Labour Statistics is forecasting a 21 per cent growth for Biomedical Engineers through to 2016," says Brian Amsden, who will be teaching in this new program. "This growth is fueled by the demand for increasingly sophisticated medical devices and treatment modalities required by our aging society. However, unlike many engineering fields, most entry-level Biomedical Engineering positions require an advanced degree.
"The development of the proposed Collaborative Graduate Program in Biomedical Engineering will meet the needs of both students and faculty by formally linking the unique strengths in research of the participating departments and thereby creating an optimal training opportunity."
For more information, contact:
Brian Amsden
613-533-600 x 75309
The Department of Community Health and Epidemiology offers a broad range of courses in biostatistics, epidemiology, clinical trials, and health services research. The Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers strong programs in mathematical statistics. By combining resources from both these departments, students will have unique opportunities to develop the analytic skills and practical experience needed as biostatisticians to interact with practitioners and to work on current research projects in a variety of health areas.
"The high demand and low supply of qualified Master's level biostatisticians is the main reason we believe that this program is needed now," says Paul Peng, program coordinator. "The program will also strengthen the biostatistical research and increase the profile of the excellent health research happening at Queen's."
The demand for biostatisticians in Canada and internationally is very high and graduates will find excellent employment opportunities upon completion of their studies.
For more information, contact:
Dr. Paul Peng
613-533-600 x 78525
Cancer Research (MSc, PhD)
Collaborative Graduate Program in Cancer Research - participating departments are: Anatomy & Cell Biology; Biochemistry; Community Health & Epidemiology; Microbiology & Immunology; Pathology & Molecular Medicine; Pharmacology & Toxicology; and Psychology.
Cancer research is one of the strongest and most comprehensively developed research priorities within the Faculty of Health Sciences and at Queen's University as a whole. A primary goal of this program will be to meet the needs of both students and faculty by formally linking the unique strengths of the participating departments in cancer research and thereby creating an optimal training opportunity.
"We are really excited about the opportunity to develop the Collaborative Graduate Program in Cancer Research," says Lois Mulligan, a coordinator of the new program. "Until now, graduate opportunities in cancer research have been found in several departments at Queen's but, for prospective students, it hasn't always been easy to identify the departments in which to look or to identify the potential supervisors whose focus was in cancer research and matched the students own interests."
The program will provide students with an added official recognition of their specialization in cancer research as recognition of the new area of specialization.

Cultural Studies is an emphatically interdisciplinary area of inquiry that intersects the humanities, science studies, the social sciences and the arts. Drawing on a range of practices, from the Frankfurt and Birmingham schools to critical globalization studies, Cultural Studies researchers investigate values, beliefs and belongings, cultural processes and cultural objects, economic and social relations, institutions and identities.
"We have designed an innovative program that includes options in the degree programs that allow students to become involved in various kinds of community organizations, to participate collaboratively with cultural producers, or to pursue community-based projects that have clear ties to the field areas of the program," says Lynda Jessup, a professor in the Department of Art. "Student response to the program, which is beginning this September, has been overwhelmingly positive, and we are excited as they by the opportunities this new program offers."
Cultural Studies at Queen's comprises 61 distinguished faculty from 20 disciplines to offer an innovative program at the MA and PhD levels. Cultural Studies at Queen's is committed to a diversity of students and faculty and to the global expertise that they bring to the cultural and academic fields.

Economics Combined MA / JD (Juris Doctor)
This combined degree will offer focused interdisciplinary training for students interested in pursuing academic careers, high level policy work, and specialized legal work in the many areas where law and economic analysis interact.
"Lawyers and policy makers often confront challenges in which economics and the law are tightly intertwined," says Cherie Metcalfe, who teaches in the School of Law. "The financial crisis of the past year is a good example of this relationship in action. Graduates of our new program will be able to combine strong analytical skills and understanding of economic policy with their legal expertise.
"This background will prepare them to make unique contributions in their careers - whether as lawyers, policy-makers, or academics. There are many areas in which we need experts who understand both economics and the law - international trade, competition law, tax law, corporate law and financial regulation, consumer protection and insurance law, labour law, and environmental and resource management - these are just some examples."
Students in this combined program will be able to complete the requirements for both the Juris Doctor and the Master's within three calendar years.

Cherie Metcalf

The Master's Program in Gender Studies will emphasize the ways in which women, gender and politics are informed by questions of racism, colonialism, and globalization.
"The new graduate program in Gender Studies will seek to answer questions of difference - race, sexuality, class, age - in relation to local, regional, national, and outernational flows," says Katherine McKitterick, who teaches at both the graduate and undergraduate level in the Gender Studies Department. "Students will have the opportunity to think through creative works, political economy, diasporic and migratory cultures, activism and feminism as they are locally experienced, yet also lived within the context of globalization."
The Women's Studies Department is also changing its name to Gender Studies.
"The shift to Gender Studies points to an opening up of gender categories," says McKittrick, "encompassing racial, gendered and sexual diversity. With the first Gender Studies MA candidates arriving to Queen's in fall 2009, we will maintain strong links between the undergraduate program and the graduate program. Naming both the undergraduate and graduate programs Gender Studies will demonstrate academic, intellectual, and institutional coherence."

Global Development Studies (MA)
Global Development Studies at Queen's is an interdisciplinary department with faculty from a variety of backgrounds. The program is engaged in cutting edge teaching and research on Asia, Africa, Latin America and Aboriginal communities in Canada.
A Master's in Global Development Studies will provide students with the critical conceptual tools and the historical and comparative insights to understand international changes and prepare students for further studies in the social sciences and/or for careers in law, media, foreign affairs, international business, aid work and other fields.
"Development Studies at Queen's has experienced enormous growth since it was first established as an undergraduate program in 1997," says Marc Epprecht, who teaches in the department. "A new generation of young people is hungry for critical knowledge about the relationships between economic growth in the Global North, and poverty, human rights abuses, ill-health, and environmental destruction in the Global South.
"Today, when "recession," "peak oil," "food crisis" and "pandemic" are common currency even in the business media, this program offers new ways of thinking about, and practical approaches to addressing global inequalities."

The doctoral program in Law at Queen's will provide students with the opportunity to engage in intense research and writing under the guidance and supervision of established legal scholars with a view to developing knowledge, expertise and skills necessary for a career in the academy, or a career in areas of the legal profession that tend to involve scholarly, critical or reflective analyses, including work in policy development, government, international organizations, and the judiciary.
"The new doctoral degree in Law at Queen's reflects both the commitment of the Law Faculty to excellence in research and scholarship, and the changing landscape of legal education," says Mark Walters, a professor in the School of Law.
Until recently, the LLM was the only graduate-level degree needed for those pursuing a career teaching law. However, in the last 15 years or so that has changed as more and more legal academics have pursued doctoral-level studies.
"As Queen's Law has emerged as one of Canada's leading research-oriented law schools, it is well positioned to offer a doctoral program that will permit students to consider challenging legal problems from a variety of comparative, interdisciplinary, theoretical, and global perspectives," says Walters.

The Master's of Public Health will equip students with a broad mastery of the subject matter and methods necessary to public health practice in Canada. Through a combination of coursework and practical experiences, students will develop applied skills required to organize, analyze, interpret and communicate public health knowledge, as well as to apply this knowledge in the assessment, planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health policies and programs.
"Public health is concerned with promoting population health," says Heather Stuart, a professor in the Department of Community Health and Epidemiology. "Historically, many of society's most significant health accomplishments have been public health accomplishments. With the emergence of infectious diseases such as SARS and H1N1, and in recognition of the growing burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, cancer, and mental illness, there has been a renewed interest in public health and in strengthening our public health capacity."
The knowledge, attitudes, and skills gained from the MPH program at Queen's will equip graduates to practice competently as generalists in public health in Canada and elsewhere.

A $45 million overhaul of the Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry's computer system for processing workers comp claims has backfired, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer ("Computer woes plague Pa. worker comp system," by Angela Couloumbis).
"New software was designed to modernize the process of filing claims," the paper reports. "Instead, the opposite has happened, according to interviews with lawyers, judges, and others who use the system. The glitches range from inability to upload claims or other supporting legal documents into the system to disappearing court paperwork. The result: Injured workers and their lawyers have been unable to get hearings, creating a backlog of cases at the Labor and Industry Department's Bureau of Workers' Compensation."

Setup Problem #4
Slow scrolling speeds on your fish finder.
Why is it that most fish finders come out of the box set to medium scroll? I've been on boats with knowledgeable captains only to hear that the one complaint they have about their fish finder is the slow scroll speed - until I started pressing buttons and changed it for them. A slow scroll speed reduces detail level and can cause multiple targets to "stack" and appear as a single target. It's no different than the number of frames per second in a video: The more there are, the better the picture will be. In fact, the only reason ever to slow down scroll speed is to maintain a visible history on screen for a longer time period. But if you didn't notice a baitball or drop-off before it passed across the screen, you must not be paying much attention in the first place.
The Fix
Set the speed as high as it'll go. All fish finders come with this necessary adjustment; you just have to figure out where it's buried.

If someone told you there's a diet that can make you lose weight, get healthier, live longer, and is reasonably easy to stick to, would you believe it?
There's reason to think the "fast diet" might actually live up to the hype. "The Fast Diet" is a book that's been selling like crazy since it came out in January in Britain and now a U.S. edition is out.
The term "fast diet" refers not to speed, but to actual fasting--but not entirely. The diet supports something closer to what's known as "intermittent fasting."
The key formula to remember is "5 to 2." That's five days of eating normally, and two days of eating a very low-calorie diet. On those two days, women are supposed to eat 500 calories per day and men, 600 calories. That's about the equivalent of a small omelet for breakfast and fish and veggies for dinner.
There is research to back-up the benefits of intermittent fasting, though not every expert agrees it's a good idea. One positive is that it's relatively easy to stick with, so it could encourage long-term healthy eating habits.

120 police officers were killed in the line of duty across the country in 2012, two of them from Western Massachusetts - officers Kevin Ambrose and Jose Torres.
The fallen were recognized at a candlelight vigil at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial in Washington, D.C. on Monday night
Officer Ambrose's son, Kyle Ambrose, says even though it is hard to see his father's name immortalized on the walls he still has plans to follow in his father's footsteps.
"At an early age it's all I really knew between my uncle and my father," he said.
Kyle Ambrose grew up surrounded by law enforcement and when he was little it was a path he had already planned to follow. His father's reputation in the department as a charismatic officer that loved his job makes the decision easier.
"I have to live up to his legend," he said.
More than 75 Springfield and Massachusetts State Police officers stopped at the spot where his name is carved into the memorial wall to honor him.
"He was a great guy and you couldn't beat a patrolman like Kevin Ambrose, you just couldn't," said Springfield police officer Kevin Burnham.
When Kyle Ambrose and his family lost him last June as he responded to a domestic disturbance call, the Springfield police family Kyle had grown up with grew tighter around him.
"They've been so supportive for the past year and it doesn't surprise me," Kyle said.
Monday night the Ambrose's were among the families escorted into a candlelight vigil by law enforcement from across the country.
Thousands held up candles and supported loved ones. For Kyle, it was an emotional tribute to his father and the others who sacrificed it all.
"Speechless. That's pretty much all I can say, it was just truly unbelievable. The amount of people that were here that recognize law enforcement, that recognize fallen officers, that they're never going to forget."
It was a sight Kyle says he'll come back to see again every year. But his tribute will be to honor his father's life, by following in his footsteps.
"I want to make it a tradition to come back here every year, whether I'm an officer by next year or not."

Philadelphia researchers compared outpatient surgery in a hospital and at an outside facility.
They found urological procedures cost significantly less when performed in a doctor's office or surgical center. Doctors estimate medicare could save $66 million a year if 50% of hospital surgeries are moved to ambulatory surgery centers.
Too much noise in a hospital intensive care unit could harm some patients. Yale researchers interviewed 70 ICU patients and recorded in room activities overnight. They found the sound level often exceeded recommended levels. The study says excessive noise could lead to worse outcomes because patients are sleep deprived.
And - researchers in Sweden found people exposed to mold in their homes are at increased risk of chronic inflammatory lung disease. The disease, known as sarcoidosis, can lead to permanent organ damage.

3.9/5 rDev -4.9%
Poured from 330mL bottle into a tulip. My bottle is labeled as having been bottled on 8/4/2007, so it's got a couple of years.
Appearance: very dark brown-amber which allows some red light through when held up to a light source. Head is practically nonexistent: a thin film of large tan bubbles; not surprising for a beer this size.
Smell: musty, yeasty, bready aroma with plums and alcohol. For all that, the aroma is not turned up to a very high volume, even as the beer warms. Not too bad, though.
Taste: rather a lot like the aroma, but somehow more pleasing. Nice rich malt flavor that tastes old and strong. Alcohol is definitely noticeable here, but it's not necessarily a bad thing; the natural dark fruit flavors are complemented.
Mouthfeel: rich, silky mouthfeel despite low carbonation. Body is medium but it has a great, not syrupy but not thin consistency.
Drinkability: actually, quite drinkable for its strength. I'm going to enjoy this glass a lot.

Pours a darker shade of borwn with a real nice sticky head thats seems to dissapte quickly,great aroma of raisins and light chocolate with some definent alcohol notes.The raisin seems to be the dominant flavor I get with some syrupy flavors as well.A touch of nuttiness and alcohol makes this a nice warmer,I have alot of bottle to drink yet wish me luck.

A dark brown pour with a medium tan head. Semi sweet nose. Molasses, grapes & black currant. Light roasted notes as well. Taste wise this brew was ru\ich and sweet...deacdent w/ a port-like grape sweetness. Underlying burnt sugars. Alcohol warmth. Nice lingering flavors. Great combo of fruit and alcohol. The mouthfeel was rich and creamy, sticky and sweet, thick n syrupy. This was quite the decadent, dessert beer. A great cold weather sipper, however, a little too sweet to have several.

Poured from a bottle into chalice style glass.
Pours a syrupy dark brown to near black, very small head that diminishes to a rather dense short layers of off-white foam. Light lacing.
Lots of dark fruit and hints of alcohol. Heavy sweet malts come to mind as you inhale.
I was a bit surprised by the sweetness that envelops the tongue on the first swig. I know this is considered a strong dark ale but it seemed more like a very sweet barley wine. Very sweet and heavy in the mouth, with the strong flavor of fig most present.
This is quite a brew. Rather a bit syrupy for my taste but it doesn't necessarily taste bad. As for the style of a strong dark Belgian ale, I suppose, but it's closer to cough syrup. I did enjoy it overall though and if you are feeling adventurous, give it a shot.

A "donker" beer, brewed in 1999 (mine was). A dark brown brew. Very rich and malty with a port-like finish. Sweet bliss in a bottle with a shelf life of over 25 years. One of my favourite of the sweet dark beers that I tried when in Belgium (March 2000).

1.83/5 rDev -55.4%
750ml bottle, bottled on 070924 (9/24/07?). Pours a murky brown with a small head that quickly goes to a tiny collar.
The aroma is subdued. It has some sweet caramel and toffee malts, some oak, a little dark fruit, and a bit of oxidization and alcohol.
The flavor is very sweet sugary malts and molasses, a little cola and fruit with a big sugary finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied and syrupy.
Overall, this is way overly sweet. It's a bit of a treacly mess. As it warms and I get accustomed to the sweetness a little nutty malt and banana come out. So there's some complexity, but the sweetness overwhelms everything and makes it rather unpleasant.

From a growler purchased at Half Time, pours dark mahogony, seems to be pretty low in carbonation, mellow head, with just minor lacing observed. Nose is nicely glowing with cola, vanilla, bourbon and spice. Strong late night sipper kind of brew. Plenty of dark candi sugars, cola, alcohol, complexity etc to please all the strong beer/quad lovers out there. Character, boldness obviously evident, well worth a try if you like the style, not for everybody, but certaintly for me! A treat and in nice shape on tap/growler.

Poured into a Chimay challice from a stubby fire plug looking bottle. A mirky muddy brown with a light tan collar with some very tiny bubbles stringing from the sides of the glass barely visible.Leves somes nice webs of lace down the glass
Sweet dark fruityness lots of prune and currants,carmell candy,butterscotch,earthy with a vinious sweetness. Vey malty and complex
Very sweet overripe dark fruit tastes upfront, some nice boozy tastes with a warming feel.candy sugaryness throughout with some burnt carmell flavors near the finish.Mouthwatering bitterness fading out the end of the taste.
Cloying,with some stickyness yet smooth and suprizing drinkability.

This beer rates well for me because of the experience that went along with it, which was "Beer School," one Sunday afternoon at the Beer Trappe in Lexington, Ky. I say that not because it reminds me of a good experience, but part of Beer School is learning about the beers you sample, how they are crafted, what distinct flavors, smells, and feels should be, and you get to compare samples from the same class of beer side by side.
I went to Beer School with my cousin Tony, another beer lover, whose taste differs from mine. I prefer stouts and lagers, he prefers witbiers and hefeweizens. We agreed that both the Kasteel Donker had the best flavor and feel among the six that were sampled that day, all of which were bock beers. I brought home several of the ones I liked to increase my sample size, and reconfirmed that the Kasteel was best in class.
For having a high ABV, this brew does not have a strong alcohol taste to it. It was surprisingly smooth, and the roasted malt flavor was strong but not overpowering beginning and end of taste. I drank from the bottle, like a heathen, so I cannot comment on the pour or the color, sadly, and I will drink from proper glassware next time I try one so I can update my review.
In short, if you like bock-style beers, this is definintely one to try and enjoy!

Very dark. There was a little foam, but it quickly went away
Dominated by dark, dried fruit.
A little fruity. It was sweeter than I expected, but incredible. There's a little coffee or red wine note as well
Smooth with very light carbonation
This is one of the best beers I've ever had. The one I had was part of a Belgian sampler and I went out the next day and bought a whole case.

3.35/5 rDev -18.3%
Appearance: dark brown, clear body; mocha head fades out quick, but it was poured in a chalice
Aroma: rye bread, tin, caramel, roast malt, dates, banana
Taste & Mouthfeel: super sweet and syrupy, a feel which is accentuated by the low carbonation - it really is like drinking American "maple" syrup; banana, dates, candy sugar dominate, and a whisper of chocolate, breath of alcohol, appear in the finish; kind of like coke or root beer, but without the carbonation
Overall: only barely avoids being cloying, the lack of suds or balance to provide a break from the sweetness hurts the beer's potential - teetering on the edge of being a very good brew; it's difficult to finish the bottle

3.3/5 rDev -19.5%
12oz bottle, poured into a snifter. Had this once before three years ago at a private tasting. I'll admit right away that I remembered a different beer than the one I had last night.
A: Nice, dark brown color, but weak, barely-there head.
S: You can tell right away that this one's going to be sweet. Heavy commingling of brown sugar and raisin.
T: Overwhelmingly sweet at first, which threatens to ruin the beer from the get-go. After I got past that, I could appreciate some of the other elements, especially a pleasant, champagne-like effervescence.
M: For all it's sweetness, it's not an overly thick beer. Nice and rich, and the carbonation is pleasant.
D: On the plus side, the alcohol presence isn't too powerful. But that sweetness makes this hard going down.
I can see this going well with a rich cheesecake or something equally bold and sweet, and maybe it mellows over time. That said, I won't drink this again as a stand-alone beer, and don't think I could get through a 750ml. Not bad, but I'm not likely to revisit this (again).

This is a great expression of the style. The pour from the 750ml bottom produced a great foamy head that was quite peresistent and left a classic Belgian lace. Very dark with ruby hints, the aroma was there but not as strong as I might have imagined, mostly sweet and raisiny. Mostly a sweetish malt flavor with some raisin taste with a drying burlap finish. Shae a bottle for desert and you will make a friend, drink it alone and you will be asleep early.

(Served in an long stemmed chalice)
A- This beer has a smooth creamy head on a dark dense brown thick body. I couldn't tell if there was any visible carbonation but it was low light in the bar.
S- Nice smell of dark sweet malts with notes of prunes and other dried fruit. A hint of molasses in the finish also.
T- This is deep complex flavors but hints of apples and prunes stuck out the most. As it warmed it became more of an apple juice flavor. However there were lots of other flavors like port and brown sugar with some prunes and red wine hints also.
M- Medium-light mouthfeel with a hint of alcohol but it doesn't feel like 11 %
D- This is a good complex malty beer that has great complexity. I happen to meet the brewer after I wrote my review and he said the kegs are all pasteurized but the bottles are still alive and kicking so I will have to try those next.

11.2oz. stubby 'Duvel' style brown bottle, purchased at Party Source, poured into a chalice.
A: Deep shoe leather pour that's completely opaque. A short fluffy head forms and holds for a bit before falling to a chunky skim. Decent lacing throughout.
S: Alcohol soaked dark fruits dominate most of the aroma. Some sweet caramel malts and maybe a touch of meatiness in the back.
T/M: Alcohol is very present and meets nicely with the dark, plump, pulpy fruits. More of the sweet caramel and light meaty flavor. Has a touch of sour/tart fruit flavor to it but very much an undertone. Still, it's not quite what I want. Body is nearly full but a syrupy feel to it. Lighter carbonation makes for a vinous feel.
D: This would be a very tasty brew if it weren't for that little bit of sour fruit in the back. Still, not terrible, and seems reasonably drinkable for a Quad.
