From the Publisher
"Witchcraft and magic involve issues that cut across disciplines, and Mitchell has produced a solid, impressively interdisciplinary contribution to our understanding of them. . . . A significant regional study of a neglected era, [this] book also makes important contributions to our larger understanding of European witchcraft and magic and makes exemplary use of interdisciplinary approaches."—Edward Bever, Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"This important book accomplishes several major goals. It illuminates a previously little-examined aspect of Scandinavian history, namely magic in the post-Viking but pre-Reformation centuries. It advances some valuable and broadly applicable methodologies for studying conversion and Christianization. And it successfully integrates Nordic developments into the overall history of magic and witchcraft in medieval Europe even as it highlights uniquely Scandinavian components of that history."—Michael D. Bailey, American Historical Review
"This well-written book will be of great interest to specialists (and students) of Old Norse culture and history as well as to historians of European magic. Finally, this is a text that ought to interest students of religion, who have here an excellent study of 'religious' change."—Nicolas Meylan, Journal of Religion
"Mitchell provides a comprehensive and enlightening survey of beliefs and narratives concerning supernatural aggression in medieval Scandinavia . . . [creating] an effective and evocative bridge through the long and richly storied era that begins in the pre-Christian Viking Age and ends in the Reformation."—Journal of English and Germanic Philology
"[A] thorough and subtle analysis . . . The material assembled here is rich, varied, and often unfamiliar. The socio-historical picture Professor Mitchell draws from it will be of great value not only to scholars of Scandinavia but to anyone interested in the complex history of European witch-beliefs."—Folklore
"This excellent book aims to rectify a lacuna in the study of Nordic witchcraft beliefs. . . To do the subject matter justice requires both a deep understanding of the history and social structures of the region and period, and an ability to work with a huge and varied corpus of source materials. Mitchell is exceptionally well suited to the task."—Scandinavian Studies
"[A] clearly written, sophisticated consideration of the dynamics of popular and elite cultures of religion, witchcraft, shamanism, and magic during the medieval period in the Nordic region."—The Journal of Religion and Popular Culture
"Mitchell's book provides an excellent overview of research and at the same time shows in a convincing manner how popular conceptions of witches and sorcerers changed in the North during the Middle Ages."—Svenska Dagbladet

Well, this is certainly an eye-opening first look (courtesy of the Daily Mail). Photos have leaked of the lovely Gemma Arterton from the set of Neil Jordan's cool-sounding vampire movie "Byzantium." The movie stars Arterton as a woman who, after she's transformed into a vampire, does the same to her daughter (Saoirse Ronan) and the two hit the road, posing as sisters, and presumably getting into a series of bloody misadventures. The cast also includes Sam Riley, Caleb Landry Jones, Bradley Jones, and Daniel Mays. But why are we even typing anything when you're just looking at those photos? Hello? Anyone?
Since the scene they were shooting is on the beach, in daytime, we can assume that either a) this is a sequence that takes place before Arterton is turned into the sexiest damn creature of the night you ever did saw or b) the vampire mythology of the film (written by "Jane Eyre's" Moira Buffini) is skewered somewhat, like Scott Snyder's popular comic book "American Vampire" (wherein the beasties actually get their power from the sun). Either way, this doesn't really matter because Arterton's cleavage is so pronounced (and admittedly impressive). It's been a little while since Jordan has had a new movie out (and the last time he tackled vampires we ended up with the great baroque camp of "Interview with the Vampire"), so she-bosoms aside, we're pretty amped about this one.
Filming just started on the movie but we would be very surprised if it missed out on the key Halloween 2012 release date.

Ondine was a beautiful gem of a film, so I've been curious to see what Neil Jordan would do next. Love his lyrical style.
Michael | December 7, 2011 3:17 PM
Neil Jordan is so gorgeous and sexy. He's a very talented director. He'll be wonderful in (on?) this film.
Easton | December 7, 2011 2:44 PM
Gemma Arterton is so gorgeous and sexy. She's a very talented actress. She'll be wonderful in the film.

- Chinese Tourists in Japan: Return of the Big Spenders
As tension over the Senkaku Islands cools, Chinese tourists have been returning to Japan in large numbers, with over 1 million visiting the country in the first half of 2014. Chinese not only outnumber visitors from other countries but also outspend them, laying out large sums on trips and at stores. They are eager to buy made-in-Japan products, which have a reputation for high quality. And with their open wallets, they are becoming increasingly important customers for businesses in Japan.

Minister's comments insulting
Re: Minister to MLA: Support LNG development to support ferry service, March 12, 2014
It's a slap in the face to Prince Rupert, Haida Gwaii and central coast businesses who will be directly impacted by ferries cuts to suggest they should wait for LNG companies to save them from bad B.C. Liberal decisions.
While many on the coast hold the hope that responsible LNG development can help diversify the northwest economy, it's foolish for the B.C. Liberals to suggest it's the only economic activity the region needs.
While the B.C. Liberals sit waiting for LNG, people still need ferries to get to their medical appointments, visit their relatives, and to power their businesses through the transportation of workers, goods and the promotion of tourism.
It's time for the B.C. Liberals to recognize that ferry service is vital to our coastal communities and our provincial economy.

Los Angeles is not only famous for its countless movie stars, its beautiful beaches and the numerous events but it also for being a culinary capitol of the west coast. Checking out the 25 Hottest Restaurants in Los Angeles, it is easy to see that every taste is served. From sushi to local Californian and Northern Thai food, everyone is able to appease his hunger.
So why not treat yourself with a reservation of one of the hottest restaurants in LA after a bike tour through this beautiful city? When taking such a tour in LA you will already be fascinated by the delicious smells which will guide you from one cultural community to the other. And when finishing this biking experience, you can just relax in one of those places and be spoiled by their culinary efforts.
One example for such a bike experience is the excursion 'LA in a day' which takes you alongside upscale restaurants in West Hollywood as well as young and wild places at Venice Beach. You come along earthy and fragrant smells, which you have never underwent before and experience LA in the purest and intense way. This is what you call LA sightseeing in 4D. But even though you are not participating in that particular tour but independently rented a bike, our store is in prime walking-distance location to most of the 25 Hottest Restaurants in LA (see picture below, we are the blue star).
At Bikes and Hikes LA our motto is: Experience LA - Don't Just Drive Past It! Trust us, you'll appreciate the difference. When you take the auto out of the equation, you'll be AMAZED by how many secret gems Los Angeles has all ripe for your discovery. Bike tours and hiking tours offer visitors and Angelenos alike the city's ultimate up-close-and personal adventure — PLUS — you'll be exploring the city in the greenest, most eco-friendly way possible. We further specialize in group tours and bike rentals.
Nowadays statistics show that one-third of the US nation's children are obese. Obesity is a serious issue which can lead to chronic conditions such as diabetes and heart diseases at a young age. All of that can be avoided by improving the children's everyday exercises and physical activity. A better nutritious plan and an innovative idea, which changes the child's everyday routine- such as biking to school instead of driving, can go a long way. Adding that extra environmental conscious physical activity to your child's day can greatly improve their health and make them more active.
Research has shown that children who learn how to make their own way to school; such as walking or cycling instead of being driven by their parents, have an increased power of concentration and the effect of this 'exercise' lasts longer.
Naturally, one of the biggest concerns for parents is the safety of their children who bike to school. If secure bike routes were set up on the roads to schools, this worry could be lessened and the safety of the children more secure. In a bustling and traffic heavy city like Los Angeles, having less traffic on the streets in the morning is beneficial to everyone, especially the parents rushing to work.
At Bikes and Hikes LA we always try to think of the most eco-friendly and health conscious ways of transportation. We try to think of innovative solutions to better our community in West Hollywood, and make the city a safe and healthy zone.
Interested in biking through Los Angeles and never really got around to doing it? Be sure to check out our Bike Tours around LA as well as our Bike Rentals page.
Your Brain on Bicycling
Bikes and Hikes LA is always interested in finding new ways to improve your health and lifestyle in eco-friendly ways. Bicyling.com has posted an interesting article about the benefits of everyday biking on your brain that we wanted to share with you!
It's no secret that cycling makes you fitter. It also sharpens your thinking and melts away stress. Now researchers are discovering why—and exactly how you can maximize the cognitive benefits of a good ride.
Every morning Canadian neuroscientist Brian Christie, PhD, gives his brain an extra boost. We're not talking about tossing back multiple strong shots of espresso or playing one of those mind-training games advertised all over Facebook.
"I hop on my bike, go to the gym for 45 minutes, then ride the rest of the way to work," says Christie. "When I get to my desk, my brain is at peak activity for a few hours." After his mental focus sputters to a halt later in the day, he jump-starts it with another short spin to run errands.
Ride, work, ride, repeat. It's a scientifically proven system. In a recent study in the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, scientists found that people scored higher on tests of memory, reasoning, and planning after 30 minutes of spinning on a stationary bike than they did before they rode. They also completed the tests faster after pedaling.
Positive Spin
Of course, there's a lot more to mental fitness than just improving your smarts. Plenty of science backs the idea that a good ride can also have emotional benefits. Cycling can elevate your mood, relieve anxiety, increase stress resistance, and even banish the blues. A recent study analyzing 26 years of research finds that even just some exercise—as little as 20 to 30 minutes a day—can prevent depression over the long term.
At the moment, scientists don't completely understand the exact mechanisms, but they do know that physical activity like cycling boosts the production of feel-good chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine.
As you pedal past the 20-to 30-minute mark, other mood-lifting chemicals like endorphins and cannabinoids (which, as the name suggests, are in the same family of chemicals that give pot smokers their high) kick in. Even better, regularly riding your bike helps keep hormones like adrenaline and cortisol in check, which means you'll feel less stressed and you'll bounce back from anxiety-filled situations more easily.
The sweet spot for sharpening mental acuity right after exercise is about 30 to 60 minutes of aerobic riding at roughly 75 percent of your maximum heart rate.
Remember: Although it's healthy, exercise itself is a stress, especially when you're just getting started or back into riding. When you first begin to exert yourself, your body releases cortisol to raise your heart rate, blood pressure, and blood glucose levels. As you get fitter, it takes a longer, harder ride to trigger that same response.
What's the cycling prescription for happiness?
Do three to five sessions a week. Each session should be 45 to 60 minutes long and keep your heart rate between 50 and 85 percent of your max. Of course, that's just a minimum recommendation aimed at the general public. You can go ahead and ride to your heart's—and mind's—content.
Suddenly in the mood to go for a bike ride and have an adventure with your friends or family? Be sure to check out our Bike Tours around LA.
See what the Wall Street Journal, the LA Times, National Discovery, ABC, CBS & Bike Times are calling the best way to experience LA. Your adventure starts on legendary Route 66 in West Hollywood and takes you through Beverly Hills & Bel-Air for an up close view of the palaces the movie stars call home. Then it's on to our world famous beach towns: Santa Monica, Venice & Marina Del Rey. Afterwards, you'll bike through Culver City, where you'll find the historic movie studios that put the City of Angels on the map. This 32-mile, 5 hour excursion is "bucket list" worthy and leaves no site unseen.
One of our most scenic adventures takes you through LA's most exclusive enclaves, Beverly Hills, Bel-Air & West Hollywood, in a truly up-close-and-personal way. Whether riding along boutique-lined Rodeo Drive or pedaling past 30+ Legendary Homes, you will see LA's most glamourous neighborhoods in the most intimate way imaginable. Chances are you'll even see a star (or the paparazzi tracking their every move). A few small hills at the beginning are certain to get your blood pumping and spirits soaring. You'll also enjoy a walking tour of the gardens and grounds of a legendary Beverly Hills estate featured in countless tv shows and films.
Proof That Hiking Makes You Happier And Healthier
Our friends at Huffington Post give us some reasons as to why hiking is good for the soul, the brain and the body that we wanted to share with you!
Here's what hikers can teach the rest of us about leading a happier, healthier life.
Hikers are creative.
Forget the caffeine. Those looking for a brainpower boost need not look further than the closest trail. Research shows that spending time outdoors increases attention spans and creative problem-solving skills by as much as 50 percent. The authors of the study also point out that the results may have as much to do with unplugging from technology as they do spending time outside. "This is a way of showing that interacting with nature has real, measurable benefits to creative problem-solving," David Strayer, co-author of the study, tells the Wilderness Society. Plus, it's not only the lack of technology and surplus of trees, sunshine and fresh air that contribute to this creativity boost in trail blazers. Researchers from Stanford University's Graduate School of Education found that walking gets the creative juices flowing far more than sitting.
Hikers are seriously fit.
Hitting the trail works out your body as much as it does your brain. Just one hour of trekking can burn well over 500 calories, depending on the level of incline and the weight of the pack you're carrying. Hiking is a great way to get a serious workout without putting too much pressure on your joints. If you head for the hills, weight loss results are even better. Not only are you burning some serious calories, but altitude itself has also proven a weight loss ally. Plus, tramping through the trails on a regular basis decreases blood pressure and cholesterol. Logging cardio in the form of hiking can lower blood pressure by four to 10 points, and reduce the danger of heart disease, diabetes and strokes for those at high-risk. And don't lose heart if you're not out of breath on the way back. Both the ups and downs have benefits when it comes to lowering cholesterol, but hiking downhill is two times more effective at removing blood sugars and improving glucose tolerance.
Hiking heals.
Some research suggests that the physical benefits of hiking extend far beyond cardiovascular health, and may even go as far as to help cancer patients recover. In a study published in the International Journal of Sports Medicine researchers measured oxidative stress (thought to play a role in the onset, progression and recurrence of cancer) rates of women with breast cancer and men with prostate cancer before and after hiking. The study found that long distance hiking trips may improve the antioxidative capacity, which helps fight off disease, in the blood of oncological patients. Another study showed that breast cancer survivors who exercised regularly -- many in the form of hiking -- believed that physical activity complemented their recovery from cancer treatment.
Hikers are happier.
Research shows that using hiking as an additional therapy can help people with severe depression feel less hopeless, depressed and suicidal. It may even inspire those suffering from it to lead a more active lifestyle.
For those who don't suffer from depression, hiking still offers mental benefits. "Being out in nature, away from the business of our daily lives and technology, can allow people to connect with themselves and nature in a way that brings about peace and a sense of well-being," Leigh Jackson-Magennis, REI Outdoor Programs and Outreach New England Market Manager.

Southern California Dog Friendly Hikes
We here at Bikes and Hikes LA are huge animal lovers and incredibly dog friendly, so we wanted to share with you some of LA Times' advice on where to take your dogs on a hike in Southern California from this article.
Sit. Stay. Hike.
Southern California is blessed with a number of parks and wilderness areas that allow you to hike with your dog. Such adventures are mentally and physically stimulating for both of you. Here are some trails and tips that can be useful!
Dog-friendly Trails
There are dozens of places to hike with your dog in Southern California, from Hollywood, to the desert, to the mountains. Some places require your dog to be leashed but there are plenty of off-leash hikes too. Wherever you are, follow the rules for dogs.
Hiking Tips:
·Make sure your dog is in good enough shape for the length of your hike. Start with shorter hikes and increase distance to build stamina.
·If you're hiking in areas with sharp rocks or spiny plants or doing very long hikes, consider hiking booties for your dog to protect its pads.
·Know a bit of first aid kit and bring along a basic kit, including antibiotic cream and bandages.
On the Hike
·Dogs can't cool down as efficiently as people. Hike during the cooler parts of the day. Always carry enough water for you and your dog.
·Never let your dog run off trail with its leash attached or while wearing a training collar. Either could catch on something.
·Be respectful of other hikers. Some people don't like dogs and don't want to be approached.
·You wouldn't leave trash on a trail, so don't leave dog feces either.

We at Bikes and Hikes LA are excited to be partnering up with AIDS/LifeCycle for this event and helping promote awareness and increase AIDS activism and volunteerism among the LA community!
We here at Bikes and HIkes LA are world travelers in our hearts heart and in practice. Huffington Post wrote a fantastic article with some tips on how to use your phone abroad without racking up a huge bill. We'd like to share this awesomeness here! Some of these insights are great for your domestic phone use, too. We're always looking for ways to save get the most out of our phones when we're giving tours of LA or when we're out around scouting new aventures for group events. Enjoy!
1. Unlock your smart phone and purchase an international SIM card. Many major U.S. wireless carriers will now "unlock" your phone for you. This allows you to use a SIM card from any carrier in any country, which gets rid of those pesky roaming charges. You can purchase a prepaid SIM card when you arrive at your destination or, if you plan ahead, you can buy one in advance from a service like Keepgo or Telestial.
2. If you want a more traditional phone plan, try T-Mobile's "Simple Choice" plan.
T-Mobile's plan costs $50 per month with no annual service contract. The plan includes unlimited texting and data in over 120 countries -- so if one of those countries is on your list of destinations, you're all set. International voice calls are a flat rate of 20 cents per minute, and there are no roaming charges for data or texting.
3. Regardless of your phone plan, use Wi-Fi as much as possible.
Apps like Free Wi-Fi Finder use your phone's GPS to find free Wi-Fi in your area.
4. Offline maps will save your life... and your data.
Download offline apps like City Maps 2Go and OsmAnd, or cache your own offline maps in Google Maps. Cacheing a map is actually very simple -- just zoom in on the area you want to save, type "OK Maps" into the search bar, and press the "search" icon.
5. Save data and battery by turning data roaming off or putting your phone in airplane mode.
Turning off your data will ensure that, when you're not on Wi-Fi, apps don't eat up all your data or make you exceed the data limit you have. You can still send and receive calls or texts while your data roaming is off. Keeping your phone in airplane mode will save your battery in a pinch. Disabling "push notifications" and manually loading your email will help save data as well.
6. Save money on international calls and texts with call and text Wi-Fi apps.
Google Voice, WhatsApp, Skype, FaceTime and Facebook Messenger are your friends. They're also free. #winning
7. Keep all your travel information in a note (or take screenshots), so if you need to check a flight time or hotel address you can do without using data.
You won't always have Wi-Fi, and at some point you'll probably need to access information regarding your flights or reservations while you're on the go. Saving all that information in a note on your phone -- or taking screenshots of emails containing that information -- means you won't need to log into your email and use up that precious data. Apps like TripIt also help by keeping all your info in one nice, tidy place.
8. Monitor your data usage.
If you have a limited amount of data available, you can monitor your usage on most phones. This ensures you don't go over the data limit you have and incur hefty overage fees.
9. Download any and all apps you need for your travels before you get on the airplane.
You won't want to rely on Wi-Fi abroad to download apps you may need while traveling. There are tons of apps out there for travelers, but a few staples include Google Translate, Evernote, Yelp, local map apps and TripIt.
So get your phone game in order and get traveling! If you ever find yourself in Los Angeles, come take a tour with us! At Bikes and Hikes LA our motto is: Experience LA - Don't Just Drive Past It! Trust us, you'll appreciate the difference. When you take the auto out of the equation, you'll be AMAZED by how many secret gems Los Angeles has all ripe for your discovery. Bike tours and hiking tours offer visitors and Angelenos alike the city's ultimate up-close-and personal adventure — PLUS — you'll be exploring the city in the greenest, most eco-friendly way possible. We further specialize in group tours and bike rentals.
On our LA in a Day tour, we stop for lunch at the Fruit Gallery in Venice. This is the lone healthy option in a mass of greasy junk food vendors. The Fruit Gallery has wraps and juices made from fresh, local produce. The taste is amazing and the quality never disappoints. We consistenly receive rave reviews from our guests about this little spot. Guests get re-energized from this quick, healthy lunch and they can then tackle the second leg of the sightseeing tour that takes them back to our shop in West Hollywood.
We know that this healthy lunch option is critical for our guests to tackle this awesome Los Angeles biking tour. According to a Reboot with Joe article titled "Fruit and Vegetables for Improved Performance":
"The micronutrient content of fruits and vegetables has an important role to play in maintaining health and optimising exercise performance, energy production and tissue recovery during periods of exercise training. Certain nutrients can't be synthesised by the body so it's essential that a person consumes a diet rich in fruits and vegetables to support daily training and recovery.
A sub-optimal intake of fruits and vegetables can lead to fatigue, muscle damage, lack of muscle strength and impaired immune function; all of which can have detrimental effects on training and recovery for competition or general sports performance and fitness."

We've found a gem in Venice, and we look forward to continuing to working with the Fruit Gallery to provide our biking tour groups with the proper nutrition they need! The article further notes some critical nutrients that you get from eating certain natural foods:

Concord Picante
(Est. 1980) When Concord Picante founder Carl Jefferson created the Concord Picante imprint in 1980, he wanted to provide a much-needed home for such seminal Latin jazz musicians as Cal Tjader, who released the label's first album, the GRAMMY-winning La Onda Va Bien. The rhythm and percussion-rich music that Picante produced caught fire and helped to popularize Latin jazz. A quarter of a century later, the label can boast an all-star roster of Latin music legends, Ray Barretto, Charlie Byrd, Pete Escovedo, Tania Maria, Eddie Palmieri, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria, and Poncho Sanchez, among them.
Spanish Harlem Orchestra
Mongo Santamaria
Something special happens when Mongo Santamaria sits down behind the congas. The man himself is transformed. He approaches the stage quietly, as if listening to some inner cue. He settles in his chair without a word. Perhaps he touches one drum with the palm of his hand, as if greeting an old friend.MORE
Pete Escovedo
Escovedo is today viewed as one of the standard bearers of Latin jazz. "There are so many great young players who are carrying on the tradition. My job, as I see it, is to keep on doing what Tito, Mongo, Cal, Willie and others would be doing if they were still with us today."MORE
Cal Tjader
After a short stint as leader of his own group, Cal joined George Shearing's Quintet as featured vibraphonist and percussionist. While with Shearing Cal made frequent trips to New York and began listening to the Latin New York bands of Tito Puente and Machito. "I always had an affection for Latin rhythms and I was looking for something different."MORE

The Buell X1 Lightning evolved from the M2 Cyclone and features the same short wheelbase chassis, with Showa suspension on the early run base models, then WP kit on the later X1 Lightning, and souped up White Lightning variant. With more grunt than the M2 the X1 feels like more fun and the build quality improved somewhat as time went ...

Although arguably a better bike, the Ducati 999 has never really stepped out of the shadows of the preceding, iconic Ducati 916 series of motorcycles. It lacks the grunty, fluid finesse of its V-twin rival motorcycles, the comfort of Japanese superbikes and has typical Ducati failings; of poor riding position, useless mirrors and quirky electrics. On the right racetrack, the Ducati 999 ...

Quirky doesn't adequately describe the Buell S1 Lightning and this mid-90s take on the Buell dream has its plus points, as well as a few serious flaws in its roadster concept. The engine and gearbox felt outdated even when new, the handling was OK, with the braking perhaps slightly less so. The 93bhp White Lightning has more oomph and is ...

Is the Cagiva Raptor 1000 the wise alternative to a Ducati Monster? Penned by the same designer, the similarities are outstanding. The Suzuki engine is more reliable than any Duke but Cagiva parts back up can be patchy and specialist knowledge scarce. Small, fast and unstable on rough surfaces and stacks of fun.

It's hard, objectively, to see the point of the BMW HP2. It's a 105bhp, 175kg off-roader that costs almost £11,000. Yes, it does have some clever technology like air suspension, but on the flip side its use as a road bike is limited, which is why the factory now offers free 17-inch rims and tyres with each new HP2. It's ...

Pioneer and entrepreneur Smedlap Effingtas famously forged a trail into the West, brewed his own secret moonshine, drove a general mad, and won a fair maiden's heart as a stowaway. But his most memorable contribution to the world turned out to be his descendants. Generations after Smedlap's heyday, his kin opened a restaurant to honor the memory of their infamous ancestor, instead of conducting a seance. After nearly 30 years in business, ownership was passed to Jim Favorite and his family, who had blazed a trail West in the footsteps of Smedlap.
After years of working in the steak-house business, Favorite snatched up the opportunity to transform a local institution into his dream restaurant. Though he and his chefs changed the menu a bit, he made sure to preserve some of the beloved traditions, such as the two-story slide behind the hostess stand. The overhauled menu includes a varied blend of dishes, from lake perch to lean burgers decked out with a dozen possible cheeses. Though broad, the menu's focus remains the steak, with choice cuts served on a plank and drizzled in peppercorn sauce.
At Dégagé Express, Head Chef Joseph Jacobsen uses techniques learned beside Jacques Pépin and Bobby Flay to transform locally sourced meats and produce—most cultivated within 30 miles of the restaurant—into elegant sandwiches and desserts. These ingredients fill the menu, composing seasonal dishes such as the Missy's Fix sandwich, made with housemade corned beef, apple slaw, thousand-island dressing, and local sauerkraut. Sous Chef Skyler Stanton, meanwhile, cooks soups such as the Train Wreck Chili. A testament to the culinary staff's creativity, croutons flavored with bacon fat and cheese top the restaurant's caesar salad, and housemade hot chocolate and locally baked pies from Schmucker's lend a sweet note, like a banker who underwrites loans with chocolate coins.
Dégagé Express calls the historic Commercial Building home. It is rumored that none other than Abraham Lincoln stayed at the building when it doubled as an inn way back in the early 19th century. Today, Dégagé uses the winsome building to host another cornerstone of the American experience: live jazz music.
When walking past the duck pond, giant chess pieces, and chaise longues sprinkled throughout the park area of The Shops at Fallen Timbers, the only thing missing to make it the perfect day is a just-starting-to-melt scoop of ice cream. And since 2008, that need has been filled by Abe's Daily Scoop. There, the team fills cones, cups, and insulated pockets with generous portions of ice cream available in 32 flavors daily. They specialize in Ashby's Sterling hand-dipped ice cream, but also dish out low-fat soft-serve ice cream and fruity sorbets. Working with flavors such as amaretto cherry, wild berry granola frozen yogurt, and black raspberry pomegranate sorbet, the staff creates everything from sundaes to floats and twisters with a choice of candy mix-ins. They also offer steamed hot dogs topped with a choice of condiments and paired with chips and sodas as well as the pulled-pork BBQ parfait, which includes a combination of pulled pork, mashed potatoes, and barbecue sauce in layered form.
Sugary sculptures of characters such as Yoda, Hello Kitty, and Barbie grace custom cakes at Cherry Tree Bakery and Floral, where confectioners also whip up muffins, scones, and other baked goods from scratch each day. For heartier appetites, they also prepare café fare ranging from oatmeal sprinkled with cinnamon or dried cranberries to salads, sandwiches, and soups. Additionally, florists pack a glass display case with flowers fashioned into artful bouquets or trompe l'oeil donuts.
Blossoming from the original Pennywise, established in 1969, Expresso Car Wash now shoos dirt form begrimed automobiles at six convenient lube-and-detail facilities. Upholding a focus on swift service, mechanics perform quick 10-minute oil changes, towel off 12-minute full details, and scrub cloths on their eight-minute abs. As environmental stewards, the detailing staff carts off all used water to a water-treatment facility and uses fewer chemicals than home washings tend to.
Each vehicle's aesthetic and under-the-hood beauty gets continual boosts with additional services, including air-conditioner and timing-belt repair and transmission flushes. When they are not pampering autos, the Expresso staff lends philanthropic support to nonprofits, including local schools, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and teenage cars saving up for a new driver.
The name Barry Bagels conceals the diversity of its menu. In addition to 16 bagel varieties, the staff churn out homemade soups, sandwiches, desserts, and coffee. The flagship Barry Bagels shop opened in Toledo in 1972?the company celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2012?and now shares its oven-mastery with three other Toledo-area locations as well as one in Ann Arbor, MI.

How cool is it to get an assembly line and make your own pizza? I love having people over to do this, they have a blast!
Here's an idea for your next team cook, use a wok, set out raw meats (shrimp, chicken, steak,etc..) and let the girls pick their sauces and veggies and wok it up! I love that even more because it is a little cleaner and amazing to cook!
Great work man!

DIY Science Experiment #14 - Glowing Hands!
Ever wanted to glow in the dark? Try it out with this simple experiment.
Materials: Black light bulb, petroleum jelly
How does it work? Black lights were given their name for a reason - they give off very little light that our eyes can actually see. Visible light contains a spectrum of colors from red to violet, but beyond violet light is ultraviolet light. We cannot see UV light. The type of UV light found in black lights are very low energy, not like the ones emitted from the sun, so you cannot get a sunburn from black lights. Petroleum jelly contains substances called phosphors. A phosphor absorbs radiation and emits it as visible light. The phosphors in the jelly are absorbing the invisible ultraviolet radiation from the black light and emitting visible light.

LAWTON, Okla._Police were initially called to a domestic with injury which turned into woman with a rather large cut to her throat.
Original Story: Woman's throat cut after an argument
New details are emerging in the story about an argument turned throat cutting as police continue to investigate the ordeal. The female victim told officers that the attacker, Elliot Gaines, cut her throat and then attempted to run her over. The fight and attack started inside her home, after which she ran to a neighbor for refuge as Gaines continued to chase after her. The neighbor responded to her pleas for help and gave her refuge and also guarded the door with a shotgun.
At that point Gaines noticed that the neighbor had the shotgun and quickly stopped before reversing and driving off, hitting multiple vehicles before getting out of the car and running off.
The victim is doing well and her injury was considered not life threatening. Police continue to search for Gaines.

ALLEN PARK Ś Dominic Raiola has been watching Calvin Johnson catch passes for seven training camps and six full seasons. It never gets old.
The Detroit Lions center said heÆs amazed every day at the exploits of the wide receiver known as Megatron.
ōYou get more used to it now, but at the same time itÆs æDamn, wow look at that catch.Æ I canÆt believe heÆs the best in the world and heÆs on my team,ÆÆ Raiola said.
One reason heÆs the best is his work ethic. Two plus hours of training camp wasnÆt quite enough for Johnson on Sunday.
He answered reporters questions on his way off the field, then instead of heading to the locker room he went back out on the field to catch a few extra balls from the Jugs passing machine.
Johnson, who set the all-time NFL receiving yards record last season, is always working on his game.
ōFor me being a taller guy it never really changes,ÆÆ Johnson said. ōYouÆve got to work on your footwork, shorten up your stride, working on your hands at the line of scrimmage because guys have got to get their hands on you to stop you from getting down field.ÆÆ
He wows the training camp crowds along with his teammates and coaches.
Reggie Bush, who is seeing Johnson up close for the first time, calls him ōa freak of nature.ö
During a team drill on Sunday, Johnson was double-covered by cornerback Chris Houston and safety Glover Quin, two of the LionsÆ top defensive backs. Of course, he stretched out and made the catch like they didnÆt exist.
ōI had to make that, I missed a couple early so I had to make up for it,ÆÆ Johnson said.
It doesnÆt matter that itÆs just training camp.
ōAny time things arenÆt going right out there for me or I drop a pass, itÆs real upsetting to me. It messes up practice a little so I have to come back and make a big play later,ÆÆ Johnson said.
While lining up against him is great work for the defensive backs, Johnson said itÆs helps him too.
ōI love our defensive backs,ÆÆ Johnson said. ōIÆve been working with Chris (Houston) a long time, I love the fact that we get to work together every day. To me heÆs one of the best in the league, getting to go against him just makes me better.ÆÆ
Johnson beat Houston on a sideline pass big-time on Saturday too.
ōIÆm all over him and still heÆs so lengthy, when they threw the ball he just stretched out,ÆÆ Houston said. ōIÆm like æDamn you got extra arms, Stretch Armstrong or something?ÆÆÆ
Second-year cornerback Bill Bentley gets his share of one-on-ones with Johnson too.
ōHa, ha, ha. Why you ask me (what itÆs like to go up against Johnson)? YouÆve got to ask people on Sundays, it donÆt count (here),ÆÆ Bentley said. ōItÆs a blessing to line up in front of that man every day and just to compete. HeÆs going to bring the best out of you.ÆÆ
Not only is Johnson valuable for the defensive backs at camp, he makes all the wide receivers better. They just have to watch him, but heÆs willing to help them out too.
Rookie wide receiver Corey Fuller said Johnson has been working with him in all areas including how to watch film.
ōEvery little detail of the game heÆs helping me with,ÆÆ Fuller said.
After Johnson, Nate Burleson and Ryan Broyles there are no locks to flush out the wide receiver group. Instead thereÆs good competition for the final two spots.
ōShoot about four or five guys at this practice today just randomly came up to me, and we were talking about the competition we have at the receiver position,ÆÆ Johnson said. ōOne of the guys was joking æMan theyÆre going to get your spot.Æ I was like, æMan, they keep me sharp.ÆÆÆ
Always humble, always hard working.
ōYou guys know what he is like (in camp). He is going to go get the ball, he is going to go out of bounds, he is going to toe tap and he is going to dive,ÆÆ coach Jim Schwartz said. ōIt is a pleasure to watch a guy like that practice. I think that, like I said before, he is one of the best players in the National Football League. He always goes out here and works like he is trying to make the team.ö

Anyone ever used these before. My LHBS got these in and I plan on using them in a single hop brew. Thanks!
"Any man who is under 30, and is not a liberal, has no heart; and any man who is over 30, and is not a conservative, has no brains."
They were in one of the kits I made from AHS. One of my favorite beers I've made. Just a nice simple smooth pale ale. I've looked around to find them again but they must be seasonal or something.
They're from down here in NZ, so I imagine not many make it up to you folks
I use Pac Jade all the time. Most often as a bittering hop, I've used it in blondes, pale ales and, if I'm remembering right, even a wheat beer. It gives a nice smooth bitterness, and a soft citrus aroma.
I reckon it's a great neutral bittering hop for a pale ale. I've never used tons of it late, but I imagine it would be fine, but uninspiring in a single hop beer.
Happy Brewing
I used the Pac Jade and made this:
8.0 lbs MO
1.0 lbs Honey Malt
1.0 Lbs Munich Malt
1.5 lbs Corn Sugar
Eff: 75%
1.0 oz Pac Jade @ 60min
1.0 oz Sterling @ FWH
1.0 oz Sterling @ 30min
1.0 oz Crystal @ 10min
1.0 oz Pac Jade Dry Hop
1.0 oz sweet orange peel @ 10min
Spicy oranges. Very nice. The Pac Jade bittering is very smooth. Similar to Simcoe I would say. The aroma on these is incredible. I think this is the NZ version of Simcoe.

Pitt Panthers Television to debut in time for Miami game
College Football Videos
Fans of Pitt athletics will have about 500 more hours each year to watch their favorite school.
Pitt and The Comcast Network are launching Pitt Panthers Television, a programming service that will annually present more than 500 additional hours of Pitt athletics coverage.
"We are going to be able to do some things we've never been able to do before," Pitt athletic director Steve Pederson said.
Pitt Panthers Television debuted this week and will feature pre-game and post-game coverage of the Miami-Pitt football game on Sept. 23 at Heinz Field.
The Pitt athletic coverage will include live broadcasts of men's basketball games and football coach Dave Wannstedt's weekly press conferences, as well as women's basketball games, women's volleyball, baseball, softball and wrestling.
There will be rebroadcasts of football and men's basketball games, and they will be available from On Demand. Thursday's game with Miami will be rebroadcast on Sunday using the PantherVision production and Pitt's radio call.
Any men's basketball games that aren't picked up by other stations (ESPN, CBS, FSN, etc.) will be aired on Pitt television.
The Pitt network will be available to Comcast digital customers living in Western Pennsylvania and parts of Central Pennsylvania on either Comcast Network channel 188 or 210.
The broadcasts will include eight consecutive hours every Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Pitt joins Connecticut and Syracuse as Big East schools using a similar television network initiative. Pederson said the venture will make money for Pitt through ads and sponsorships.
"Things like a (Big East) network or anything you might want to launch are a number of years away," Pederson said. "We're going to go ahead and push forward as an institution with everything that we can find to put on the air for our fans and then evaluate any of those other opportunities that come up in the future."

Democrats take control of the House
CONCORD – House Speaker William O'Brien won reelection to the House, but he will not be reelected as speaker as Democrats appear to have a majority in the lower chamber.
Former House Speaker Terie Norelli, D-Portsmouth, said Democrats currently won 217 seats, Republican 177 with six races still not decided.
"I always thought we had an outside chance of taking back the majority," she said this morning. "Whether or not it happened . . . would depend a little bit on the coattails from the top of the ticket."
Norelli and Nashua Rep. David Campbell are expected to seek the Democratic nomination to be speaker in their caucus which is scheduled for Nov. 17.
The Republican caucus is scheduled for Nov. 15.
O'Brien finished second in the race for two seats representing the towns of Mont Vernon and New Boston.
Democrat David Woodbury was the top vote getter with 2,263, while O'Brien had 2,110. Democrat Kary Jencks had 2,043 votes and former House Chief of Staff Bob Mead had 1,913.
According to unofficial counts, between 210 and 220 Democrats were elected to the House Tuesday. Official results will not be available until late today or early tomorrow.
Democrats controlled the House for four years from 2006 to 2010 until the Republican landslide in 2010 swept in nearly 300 GOP lawmakers.
Until 2006, Republicans had controlled the House for more than 80 years.

Emergency crews called off a search for a plane crash Friday in a heavily wooded area in Castalia, N.C.
After a nearly six-hour search, Nash County Deputy Fire Marshal Chris Bissette said emergency crews called off the search for a plane crash in a swampy, heavily wooded area near Sykes and West Castalia roads.
The search began around 6:15 p.m. Friday after Bissette said an eyewitness reported seeing a plane smoking and circling multiple times before coming down in a block of woods.
Bissette said searchers ventured deep into the woods on foot and on ATVs but could not locate any wreckage. He said the North Carolina Highway Patrol also assisted with the search, using night vision technology in the air.
Bissette said surrounding airports did not report any overdue flights, and Raleigh-Durham International Airport did not report an aircraft on its radar.
Bissette said emergency crews do not plan to continue the search on Saturday.

Officials with the City of Lake Elsinore say they are working to alleviate traffic jams on Railroad Canyon Road, and an apology has been issued regarding recent backups on the busy street.
The following statement about the issue from Lake Elsinore City Manager Grant Yates was issued Jan. 22:
"On behalf of the City of Lake Elsinore, I would like apologize for the lengthy delays along the Railroad Canyon/Diamond Drive corridor this past week.
"On Wednesday, January 15, the City began the installation of a signal communication upgrade project on this intersection. Unfortunately, problems with this project led to unforeseeable glitches and unexpected delays. While the City responded as quickly as possible, the poor signal timing caused significant backup for travelers along Railroad Canyon Road. The City has been in constant communication with Caltrans' Traffic Operation team and an interim fix is now in place to reduce congestion. Meanwhile, Caltrans, County and City representatives will be meeting on Friday, January 24 to resolve any remaining technical issues that the system is still experiencing.
"Alleviating congestion and planning for future improvements along the Railroad Canyon/Diamond Drive corridor is one the City's top priorities. We are working diligently with our regional partners to explore short and long-term solutions for this roadway.
"The signal communication upgrade project is a critical first step to monitor and reduce some of the daily congestion commuters experience along this corridor. It will include a new coordinated signal timing plan and remote communication capabilities between the intersections and City Hall, which will allow the city to more readily monitor and correct timing issues in this intersection. The project is expected to be completed in the coming month. In the interim, if you should notice an unusual backup in this intersection at any time, you may contact our traffic engineer at email@example.com."
