Tokyo Market: Exporters benefit from currency boost
Sunday 07 March 1999
Sony, Fuji Photo Film and other companies that rely on US sales are set to gain amid waning concern that a stronger Japanese currency will squeeze overseas earnings. The dollar rose to a three-week high of Y123.43 on Thursday as the Bank of Japan pumped in money, pushing down government bond yields.
While the benchmark Nikkei 225 index rose 3.6 per cent last week - rescued by a 5 per cent gain on Friday alone - the market may be held back in coming days by banks. The end of the Japanese fiscal year on 31 March is ratcheting up pressure on banks to cash in long-held stocks to offset extraordinary losses incurred in part as they restructure money-losing operations.
"You've got foreign investors starting to feel uncomfortable about Japan being so underweight in their portfolio," said Yoshio Inamura, a portfolio manager at Tokyo-Mitsubishi Asset Management, which manages Y20bn (pounds 101m). "On the other hand, domestic institutions are still looking for chances to sell before book closing."
The Nikkei is likely to move between 14,500 and 15,500, Inamura predicted. He expects trading to be volatile because next Friday is settlement day for March Nikkei futures and options contracts, and during the run-up investors will try to push the benchmark in line with their positions.
The broader Topix index of all shares on the first section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange gained 2.4 per cent to 1146.72. The prospect of a weakening yen and falling interest rates helping Japan's struggling economy may encourage investors to take another look at Japanese stocks. Also improving sentiment is news that Sony and Toshiba are working together to produce cutting-edge microchips.
Sony, which last week unveiled the successor to its best-selling PlayStation video game, said it will form a joint venture with Toshiba to make the high-performance chips that will power the new machine.
Falling yields on government bonds may spur buying of utilities such as Tokyo Electric Power that typically offer high dividend returns. At 1.99 per cent, Tokyo Electric's dividend yield is higher than the yield on the benchmark government bond, which Friday fell to 1.56 per cent. Investors looking for protection from earnings revisions will seek safety in drug makers and telecommunications companies.

Coca-Cola launches virtual fountain dispenser
Saturday 27 August 2011
Coca-Cola has created a digital soda fountain that allows Facebook users to become virtual - and offline - mixologists.
The Coca-Cola Freestyle Facebook app, which launched Wednesday, is the virtual version of a real fountain dispenser that exists in select fast-food joints across the US like Wendy's, Burger King and Five Guys.
With more than a hundred drinks to choose from - including Raspberry Diet Coke, Sprite Zero with Peach, and Fanta Zero Strawberry - users can customize their own drink on the Facebook app by pressing and holding down the Push button. Once the cup is 100 percent full, users can name the new beverage and share it with fellow soda pop mixologists on Facebook.
One user, for instance, named his brew Coca-Moonghost, a mix of Sprite, Vanilla Coke, Powerade Lemonade, Lime Coke, Fanta Orange, Orange Coke and Coke Classic.
The real Freestyle machine, meanwhile, rolled out in 2009 and is now in about a thousand locations across the US.
An iPhone and Android version also makes a memory game out of the app. After watching a pattern of brand logos light up, users are challenged to repeat the sequence and push their way to the top of the leaderboard. Users rank against other players around the world.
Pepsi has an iPhone app called Pepsi Loot which rewards people who visit restaurants that serve Pepsi products by offering exclusive tracks and remixes from artists like Keane and Katharine McPhee. Users must check in to select 'Pop Spots.'
To create your own drink from the virtual Freestyle machine, visit http://www.facebook.com/cocacolafreestyle. Their website is http://www.coca-colafreestyle.com/.

If only the GOP had a super majority in both chambers…..
[3] November 19, 2014 at 1:47pm
Indeed Mary Anne…the MSM should be all over Reid and the Democrats for the rampant liars and hypocrites that they are…without the MSM exposing the truth the GOP has little real incentive to embark on a campaign of pointing out all of the lies and hypocrisy…they view it as a waste of valuable time I would imagine. I would say hammer away with the truth regardless of optics or traction. It's the only credible way forward in this crazy world.
[12] November 19, 2014 at 1:42pm
I support your MO 1000% the problem however is the RINO's in the senate, they won't play hardball when hardball is what is needed. I would say a scorched earth policy towards all Democrats is what should be policy of the GOP, but we all know the House led by ***** and Senate led by McFlannel will be anything but scorched earth…then again I may be 100% wrong about that, and hope I am.

Crappa….hmmm I sense a little bit of panic…all of what you think you have accomplished amounts to nothing more than mere words on paper…with no money to pay for any of it nothing will come of it. Obamacare will be dismantled or repealed in it's entirety. Why ? Because no one can afford it (and that includes the Feds). Two MJ laws ? Really ? Who cares. Equity laws ? They have been on the books since 1865 or haven't you noticed ? Path to citizenship ideas ? That's called immigration law (the current laws), they just need to be followed and those wanting to immigrate must return to country of origin and apply like everyone else. Not broken, it works and has works for eons. Queue jumpers make that patently unfair, not to mention illegal. We value rule of law.
Individuals unfettered by oppressive regulation create opportunity for themselves and others…IE small business…it's the backbone of the nation Crappa…and you have no clue , THAT is sad. Get a life and a brain. The liberal way is unworkable pie in the sky unicorn farts and fairy duct for it fails to take into account to key facts, man's yearning to be free and our own very nature. Free market system is the only system that works to any great degree. Socialism is a dismal failure, predictable failure, it ignores human nature while crushing individual spirit and drive. Look at your own generation ? See any Steve Jobs or Bill Gates ?

Can someone explain the rational behind a living wage ? Frankly speaking it's a code phrase for social justice if not outright communism IMHO. Entry level jobs are just that, entry level, a person isn't supposed to make a life and career off of flipping burgers, managing the joint is another story. living wage is an oxymoron and a very stupid idea in nation that depends on the drive and ingenuity of it's citizens unfettered by the shackles of Government restraint/intrusion. What we need more of is freedom and a real free market, get back to basics at home, in the public square, in business and in Government. It's time to dump the failed constructs/ideologies of the past and go with what built this nation and several others. We know that works we just have to try.

The trouble is they take their base for granted knowing that we conservatives will never vote for a Democrat…it's a cynical way of doing business but I believe it's the way the establishment has operated for quite some time ( a nod and a wink across the aisle being perfectly acceptable ). The vilify and marginalize the TEA Party candidates while paying lip service to the general public. This has to stop, maybe this time is different. I certainly hope it is but fear it will not be. Our jobs have just begun, we are fighting both the commies and the establishment faction of the GOP….tough to make much headway in such a short period of time (politically speaking). Not impossible though…eventually the weight of numbers and unrelenting pressure from us will win out. We might just have to fight the commies for real, break the Union up into two….these are times that have no precedent in US history other than a vague resemblance to the horrors that were the Civil War. If anything the current crisis is a lot more like the original revolution, we are fighting to preserve liberty and the commies are trying to take it ALL away (and loot the treasury, citizens savings, land, houses, wealth in general). It has elements of both major calamities (Civil War and Revolution) . Uncharted waters IMHO…dangerous times never mind the global issues at present (which are equally grave and deeply troubling).
November 6, 2014 at 10:43pm
I have feeling that if the POS EO's amnesty before this year is out the trouble could begin shortly thereafter…..The Oval Office has no legal authority to grant blanket amnesty or to dictate any other laws…all legislation must originate from Congress. The POS really is playing with fire and it knows exactly what it's doing. That is why it must be removed from office as quickly as possible , consequences (with regards to 2016) be damned. The country and it's founding documents are at stake, have been at stake for quite some time now. Congress and the GOP have been guilty the past 4 years of dereliction of duty (to their sworn oath) IMHO. We are in totally uncharted territory here I'm afraid and everyone (save for a few) in DC are worried about how doing the right thing might reflect on their immediate political futures….THAT is the wrong attitude entirely. It's also the reason why most of them have to go, the sooner the better.

Legrand Lays Out Regulatory Landscape for High Performance Buildings
Legrand published a white paper that lays out all the major standards related to high-performance buildings in the United States.
Legrand's paper "A Guide to the Building Performance Landscape," reviews the wide array of initiatives that influence or impact the creation and evaluation of high performance buildings in the US, which is evaluated and regulated through a broad array of mechanisms.
Legrand finds 15 mechanisms, which it groups into five major categories based on their fundamental functions and the scope of performance issues they address:
- Building Energy Disclosure: Require building owners to collect and report annual energy usage.
- Building (Energy & Sustainability) Codes and Standards: Set forth minimum efficiency requirements to achieve targeted reduction in energy use and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Professional and Industry Sponsored Rating Programs: Seek to promote best practices in building performance within a specific industry or professional community.
- Building Ratings Systems and Certifications: Provide prescriptive building performance criteria that require third-party verification.
- Building Design Guidance: Provides highly substantive guidance on building design but does not entail any form of certification or reporting.
- How to Use Lean Tools to Cash In On Environmental and Energy Savings

Reaper: The Favorite
by Debra McDuffee, posted Mar 25th 2009 1:02AM
(S02E04) Reaper pulled it out again with another winner of an episode. Something tells me they know exactly what they are doing this season, and I'm loving every second of it.
Although I enjoyed the addition of Morgan, the Devil's other son, very much, I was getting a bit irritated that they kept introducing new characters -- Kristen, Nina, Morgan -- and just left the whole storyline with Sam's dad floating out there. I was getting nervous that they didn't really know what to do with it, so they were just going to drop it and hope we didn't remember. Well, they got back to it tonight, and I can't wait to see it all come together.
But we'll get to that later. Let's talk about the rest of the episode first...
Ten all-time scariest TV characters
by Keith McDuffee, posted Oct 24th 2007 12:01PM
Everyone's got their own idea of what's truly frightening. I'm not talking about people or things who just are scary because they're dangerous or despicable. I mean things that truly keep you awake at night, afraid to turn out the lights. Afraid to be home alone. Afraid to fly on a plane. There are a few characters on television over the years who've stuck out more than others as being truly frightening to a handful of us TV Squadders, and we've put together a list (surprise!) of characters who have haunted us for years. If we're digging up old unforgotten nightmares of your own, well, sorry about that.
The list is numbered, but it doesn't necessarily mean these are ordered. Like I said -- we all have a different definition of what truly frightens us. Make sure you list your own in the comments. Click on a number below to get started.

Here and Now
Christmas tree pickup
Trees must be cut into sections no longer than 6 feet, with branches trimmed to under 4 feet to fit into collection trucks. Sections should be bundled with string or twine.
Trees that are flocked or decorated with tinsel or ornaments will be collected as extra garbage. But they must be cut into 3-foot pieces, and each piece will be charged as extra garbage at $5.50 a piece.
Seattle residents can drop off holiday trees and greens for composting for free at the city's north and south recycling and disposal stations today through Jan. 11.
For composting, trees must be cut into sections no longer than 8 feet, and the trunk must be no bigger than 4 inches in diameter. The limit is three trees per vehicle, and only trees without decoration or flocking can be composted.
The city's two recycling and disposal stations — at 1350 N. 34th St. in the Fremont/Wallingford area, and 8100 Second Ave. S. in the South Park area — will be open regular hours, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., but closed on New Year's Day. Information: 206-684-8400.
Collection schedule
Concerned about garbage, recycling and yard-waste pickups? If you're a Seattle resident with normal Thursday pickup, your pickup this week will be today.
Waste will be picked up tomorrow for customers who normally have collections on Friday.

"My wife and I stayed @ the Kona Coffee estate from 3/5 to 3/10. The location is fantastic. The ocean views are amazing and the whole vibe is totally relaxing. The directions to the place were spot on although finding the correct left turn was a bit of challenge at first in the dark but after that, easy. Shay the dog was great. She's a very nice dog and we thoroughly enjoyed her company. I hope I'm that mobile when I get her age. The unit was light and airy with beautiful ocean views from the kitchen and bedroom. The area's animals (wild chickens, pigs and turkeys) were cool. Be aware the chickens start making noise at 4:30 and we were awake by 6:30 typically. No biggie but something for folks to be aware of. This is a great value for the money and I highly recommend it."Guest: Miguel D'Anconia Date of Stay: March 2014 Review Submitted: March 19, 2014View listing
"I just wanted you to know how perfect Hale Kawika was. It was everything and more! We DID make guacamole every day. It was hard to leave the house but we managed to go snorkeling and kayaking as well as attend my daughter's wedding. We definitely didn't want it to end and we will be back. We dream of staying at Hale Kawika again in the future. Thanks for everything.

"Thank you so much for having the vision and putting so much of yourselves into building this incredible home AND being willing to share it. Your place made our vacation a wonderful experience and we cannot wait to come back. It was an honor to stay in your lovely space and we cannot thank you enough, Mo and Chris."Guest: Adrienne Date of Stay: October 2014 Review Submitted: October 26, 2014View listing
"I enjoyed a week stay at Kona View Estate in August 2014 with my wife and two children, ages 12 and 14. The house is lovely, clean, modern, and really had everything we could possibly need during our stay. It is spacious and very relaxing to spend time both inside the house and out by the pool and Lanai. When we weren't traveling around Kona, we enjoyed lounging in the house, where we also made most of our meals in the well stocked and inviting kitchen and outside grill. It was really just a wonderful week on the Big Island! As for our hosts, Randy and Atsuni were warm and gracious while respectful of our privacy. They answered any questions we had, delighted us with some delicious Cappuccino, and made our stay most enjoyable. Atsuni also does Rolfing and Gyrotonic body work in the downstairs gym. My wife worked with her for a separate but reasonable fee and loved the experience. In all, we had a wonderful stay at Kona View Estate and would absolutely come back. It is important to note that the house is in Holualoa so beaches are a drive. Kona View is best for visitors who are looking for a relaxing stay that is close by but away from the busier parts of the island. Coming from the bustle of a big city, we were very happy getting away and enjoyed the relative quiet and the stunning views from our Lanai. We would head over to the Beaches, Volcano, or into downtown Kona but really cherished the serene beauty of this home. Our family certainly enjoyed a restorative and lovely week there. Thanks so much Randy & Atsuni, and hope to see you again!"Guest: Henry & Jill Date of Stay: August 2014 Review Submitted: August 21, 2014View listing

Why Unemployment Remains too High
in Politics
I want to be sure Americans know why unemployment remains too high these days. I want to be sure Americans know it is in our hands, we the people, to bring down the unemployment figures. Unemployment is high and more than one group is at fault, for different reasons. There's enough blame to go around. It's mostly about greed and some of it the greed is because of need. How can you willfully, daily, hurt the country you confess to love?

Ebola +Police shooting +High Unemployment still = Dead Niggas pt 2
Black Entertainment Television founder Bob Johnson, speaking at The National Press Club, on 4/8/2013 said the nation "would never tolerate white unemployment at 14 and 15 percent." Black unemployment has been double that of white Americans for more than 50 years. The black youth unemployment rate is more than 40 percent nationally. In some cities, unemployment for black working-age males is more than 50 percent. Let's look at this, but first let's look at some history.From 1900 to 1954, blacks were more active than whites in the labor market. Until about 1960, black male labor force participation in every age group was equal to or greater than that of whites. During that period, black teen unemployment was roughly equal to or less than white teen unemployment. As early as 1900, the duration of black unemployment was 15 percent shorter than that of whites; today it's about 30 percent longer. To do something about today's employment picture requires abandonment of sacred cows and honesty.
Why don't we as black people support black business? I have a theory as to why we don't but I wanted to hear it from my colleagues, friends, and business associates. Below is a list of reasons I was given when I asked other blacks why they thought blacks don't support their own:
They give poor customer service
They are only trying to make a quick buck and don't care about their customers
They sell cheap products / below average services at exponentially high prices
They don't guarantee their products / services
They are very unprofessional / ghetto
The #1 reason given by blacks for not supporting black owned business is that black businesses are ghetto & unprofessional. Sadly in some cases this is true but when it's not and those businesses that .

Immigration Reform vs Black Unemployment?
in Politics
Immigration reform is not about Blacks and Latinos. Immigration reform includes people from countries all over the world and it is about citizenship. Immigration reform is necessary not just because people have crossed into United States illegally or are here undocumented. Immigration reform is necessary because we are a country of immigrants. Immigration reform is necessary because without it employers will continue to exploit workingclass citizens and non-citizens. A pathway to citizenship is for the good of all America. Right now, our broken immigration system benefits only the 1% and those who are the puppets of the 1%. Black unemployment and citizenship for the illegal and the undocumented are not a rivalry issue about immigration. We all immigrated here except for Native Indians and stolen Africans. And every since Africans were freed from slavery, unemployment has been high for African Americans. Self-employment kept African Americans living. Self-employment became part of the black code law that put African Americans at the mercy of slave wages. So there is nothing new in 2014 about Black unemployment. Unemployment for Blacks has always been higher than unemployment for any other groups of Americans. Pre-President Obama, Blacks experienced first fired last hired. Had it not been for family/communitiy way of life over the decades, and creativity that has been handed from one generation to the the next, where would Black families be today?
Highest unemployment is the norm in Black communities and for Black Americans
Poor living conditions reflected in shelter and transportation means
Consumption of foods not for nutrition value but based on value of available funds
High imprisonment for lessor offenses
No protection under the law for hangings and rape at will

Poems by Kassi de Absalom Malum : 2 / 1
The Girl Of Gold, She Is Gone
The girl with the heart of gold is gone
She who outshone the sun was darkened to the deepest of shadows
Shot through the heart
and arrow dipped in poison
Greed brought the killer to do this dastardly deed
Only caring for himself
So the lover quit life itself once the girl of light was gone
Two lives cut short

Ocular begins Phase 2 trial of glaucoma treatment
Send this to a friend
- Don Seiffert
- BioFlash Editor- Boston Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Ocular Therapeutix in Bedford will conduct a Phase 2 trial of a so-called punctum plug, which can be inserted near the eye, to deliver a sustained release dose of an existing drug, travoprost, to treat ocular hypertension (abnormal pressure in the eye) and glaucoma.
Glaucoma is a chronic disease which must be monitored and treated for life which afflicts more than 2 million Americans, and represents a $5 billion market worldwide. Travoprost is currently administered through prescription drops which must be taken daily and at regular intervals, but a lot of patients don't use the drops as prescribed, Amar Sawhney, Ocular's president and CEO, told Mass High Tech. While the disease does not cause pain, it can result in blindness.
"There are many problems with topical eye drop administration," said Sawhney in an email. "For example, older patients may have difficulty administering drugs for themselves. They may put in too much medication or too little medication. Or, since glaucoma is a silent disease, patients don't feel the need to consistently take their drops which over time will cause worsening of their vision, and may even lead to blindness. Therefore, something which is administered consistently without relying on patient administration is important."
The company said in a statement that its travoprost punctum plugs, which are inserted into canals along the side of the nose near the eyes, will release the drug to the ocular surface over the two-month treatment period. The study was extended to two months from the one month period tested in the Phase 1 study.

Diane Keaton 'Colbert Report' Interview Turns 'Crazy' [VIDEO]
Diane Keaton's strange interview with Stephen Colbert this week has many people wondering if there is something wrong with the Oscar winning actress.
Diane Keaton's strange interview with Stephen Colbert this week has many people wondering if there is something wrong with the Oscar winning actress.
Keaton, 66 appeared on the "Colbert Report" Monday supposedly to talk about her new book "Then Again."
However the interview turned awkward when she began asking Colbert if he was still running for President, ignored his questions about the book and told him out of the blue "I don't want to see your butt naked a--."
"Now you know why I wouldn't vote for you?" Keaton told Colbert ignoring a question he asked. "Because you're a sexual pervert."
Throughout the segment, Colbert tried to talk about Keaton's book but she insisted on her nonsensical statements.
"So is there any part of this book that you would like to discuss?" Colbert asked to Keaton's laughs.
"Before I encourage my viewers to buy the book, you have to say one f**king thing about it. You want to read the Library of Congress number or something?" he continued.
Reactions on Twitter included that Keaton "went crazy" and was "plain nuts" in the interview.
"Watching Diane Keaton on Colbert makes me think she's absolutely nuts. Reservoir Dogs was more linear than that interview," one Twitter user wrote.
Others said she was "visibly drunk" and recommended the segment for those who like to watch "trainwreck interviews."

You and I are both on 20/2 but you definitely get 2-3 times faster download speeds ...and the worst speeds I get are in the evening hours.....things kind of miraculously get fixed by themselves after midnight....and I get what I used to get 24 hrs/day for the first month or so...i.e. over 20M download speed...
But EVERY night for 6-7 hrs to have speeds of less than 10Megs and like last two nights as low as 2Megs....sorry but this is UNACCEPTABLE!My old DSL connetion as slow as it was was never slower than 5Megs....and it sure cost me much less than what I pay now for my cable at 2Megs....
You guys should stop harassing the OP. Sever cable node congestion is mostly myth these days, most people on these forums know that. So continuing to shove that in his face is rather ignorant. I'm sure if the OP was only seeing a decrease down to 10 consistently he wouldn't be as aggravated. But 2Mbps, heck anything under 5Mbps, is highly unusual, especially when paying for cable 20 package.
The OP wrote a pretty well mannered thread, he's not raging, cursing or flaming TekSavvy, he's asking for help. And it seems TSI tech support is working with him.Telling him "oh that's normal, suck it up buttercup" isn't helping him.
As I said and you must glossed over, severe node congestion is mostly myth.
I also haven't seen the OP directly claim he expects the full 20Mbps all the time either.
I can certainly understand that every once in a while....say once a week....I get couple Megs less download speed because my neighbors happened to download something at the same time..
Here are the latest speed tests results I just did. It is evening hours ...and the nightmare has began again...I can not even get half the speed any more...and as you can see from the last test it is so bad now that the up speed is better than the down speed!!!!??TSI just told me despite the 48 hrs period expiring they still have no answer from Cogeco about the reason for my problems....Next step will be to message Marc himself... [att=1] [att=2] [att=3]Your Speed Result:Download Speed: 2265 kbps (283.1 KB/sec transfer rate)Upload Speed: 2095 kbps (261.9 KB/sec transfer rate)Your Speed Result:Download Speed: 1848 kbps (231 KB/sec transfer rate)Upload Speed: 2085 kbps (260.6 KB/sec transfer rate)I guess things are getting from "normal" ....to "SUPER NORMAL"...When I get my next bill I will pay TSI "up to" the amount they ask for...something like 10% sounds fair based on the 10% speeds they've been selling me.....lets see how they like that!!!

I've been studying a bit on the Caro Kann. I have recently been playing the French Defence but I just wanted to see how well I do compared to the French. I'm still trying to figure out if i'm a positional or tactical player. So I'm experimenting with the positional and tactical openings. I've recently posted a forum of my french game if you guys haven't seen it yet. Link to the game.
Your opponent lost a piece on move 8. He also should have avoided 7. g4 and just returned the pawn with 7. Nc5. You avoided 7...Be4 8. Qe2 Bxa1 9. Nd6+ Kd8 10. Nxf7+. After that your opponent was a piece down without compensation.
Maybe 12. e6 offered "practical chances."
17. b5 exploits the pin nicely.
I assume when you played 19...Bxc5 you failed to notice that the queen was defending the rook.
I was surprised, but 23...Ra8 traps White's queen. 25...Qf2#, so you chose the strongest move anyway.
31. Qf1 holds out longer, but is futile.
@aggressivesociopath: I fail to see anything after 23...Ra8 24. Qb4, nor 25. Kd1 Qb3+ (25...Rd8??? 26. Qxd8#) 26. Kc1. But of course black's winning. The rest I agree with.
Yeah I probably should have just stuck to what I orignaly wrote instead of writing more and more as I typed.
25. Kd1 Rb8 is a mating net. I am still being a bit lazy, but 26. Bf3 Rb1+ 27. Be1 Qf2#, 26. Bb4 Qb1+, 26. Bxd4 Bxd4 leaves the rook en prise, and 26. Ke1 Nf2+ 27. Kd1 Rb1+ all win.
Some of these patterns are pretty. EDIT I neglected to mention a line where White could give up his queen to countinue.
4...Nd7 is another variation. Directly supports the e5/c5 breaks or a recapture by a piece after Nf6 Nxf6, which is the bread and butter of the Caro-Kann. I prefer that line of play. You have clear plans to pursue, your development is generally easy, and no pawn weaknesses.
It's a good, solid opening.

Saffron has always been associated with high quality and value. Before it became widely known as a spice, it was used primarily as a dye for royal garments and the robes of Buddhist monks.
Today, saffron is the most expensive spice in the world, due to the delicate and time consuming means of harvesting the fine threads. Saffron is the red-orange stigma of a variety of crocus grown mainly in Spain, Iran and India. Each flower produces three stigmas which are picked by hand, dried, and sold around the world. Saffron is a common ingredient in risotto, bouillabaisse and paella, and is a popular addition to rice, which takes on the rich saffron-yellow colour. Most recipes call for only a small quantity, as the musty honey flavour can become bitter if overused.
Saffron is available all year round from supermarkets and speciality stores. The quality of saffron can vary greatly. Some suppliers include the harvest date on the packaging – look for threads that have been harvested within the last 12 months and are deep red, preferably with orange tips. Saffron threads with white spots are best avoided, as are those that still have the flavourless, yellow stamens attached. Real saffron is expensive, so if it is being sold for a cheap price, it is likely either an inferior specimen, or a total fake. Ground saffron is also available, however it is usually mixed with other ingredients, and lacks the quality and flavour of saffron threads. Store saffron in an airtight container in a cool dark place for up to 6 months, or in the freezer for up to 2 years.
For best results, infuse saffron in a small amount of warm cooking liquid (water, milk, stock), for approximately 15 to 30 minutes. The liquid is then added to the other ingredients, usually towards the end of cooking. This draws out the colour and helps to ensure the flavour is evenly dispersed throughout the dish.
