Seasonal drinks easy to make at home
Eggnog, spiced lattes and decadent hot chocolate perfect for the festive season.

There's nothing like a heated mug of something sweet to chase away the winter's chill — and calm your mind during the busy, festive season.
And you don't have to brave the cold to get it.
Whether it's hot chocolate, eggnog or a spiced latte, preparing one of these drinks at home takes little more than a grind, a whisk and about 10 minutes, say staff members at the local restaurants who offered up their recipes.
"So easy," says Ada DeCastris, head Barista at Leslieville's Bonjour Brioche, over the roar of a busy espresso machine.
Since joining the team at this cozy French bakery and restaurant about a year ago, DeCastaris has made hundreds, if not more, of owner Lori Feasson's hot chocolate — a bowl of steamed milk poured over smears of freshly-ground dark chocolate. It has become a must-order for customers on brisk winter days.
"It just brings back childhood memories," Feasson says. "So comforting. So sinfully delicious. I just love it."
RECIPE:Decadent Hot Chocolate
At the year-old Café Con Leche Espresso Bar on Dupont St., owners Carlos and Sandra Flores have been tempting customers with a flavour combination that's so good, and so obvious it's a wonder it's only offered by a handful of Toronto baristas.
The Flores' Nutella Latte starts with a rich espresso edged with nutty undertones and ends with a generous lump of chocolate-hazelnut spread stirred in. If your home isn't equipped with an espresso machine, brewed coffee can work too.
"I love Nutella," Carlos says, standing behind the bar at his cheerful shop in front of rows of oversized Nutella jars used as decoration. "I put it in everything."
RECIPE:Nutella latte
At the Paintbox Bistro in Regent Park, owner Chris Klugman has already had his special eggnog on the menu for a little while. His nose twitches, as if intoxicated by scents of freshly ground cloves and cinnamon, when he talks about it. Over the last 10 years, he has made countless kettle-fulls for sale at some of the city's best food shops, including All The Best Fine Foods and Summerhill Market.
"It's liquid custard," he says. "What makes it so special? The richness."
RECIPE:Standout Eggnog

FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The great ones emerge stronger.
In 1980, Goose Gossage fell victim to a three-run homer by George Brett in the 1980 ALCS, hacking up a lead in the final game of a three-game sweep by Kansas City. The next season was the most dominant of the ferociously mustachioed fireman's career, as he followed a 0.77 regular-season ERA with an overpowering 14.1 scoreless innings in the playoffs.
Dennis Eckersley did not shrink after serving up what he might have called a "walkoff piece" to Kirk Gibson, a home run in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series. Though the blast cost the A's that first game and, in the eyes of many, swung the momentum of the World Series to Los Angeles, Eckersley responded with a historic run, recording 175 saves and a 1.79 ERA over the next four seasons, in the process winning a Cy Young Award and an MVP.
And yes, even Mariano Rivera, possessor of five championship rings as the Yankees' late-inning assassin in the postseason, has had his own missteps: the 1997 homer to Sandy Alomar that permitted the Indians to come back and win the Division Series; the 2001 walkoff single that he permitted in Game 7 of the World Series to the Diamondbacks' Luis Gonzalez; the pair of blown saves against the Red Sox in the 2004 ALCS.
Rivera, clearly, did not allow the wound of his defeats to linger. He had a 2.96 career ERA when he allowed the Alomar homer in '97; he produced a 2.26 mark (and closed out three World Series) over the next four years, before the Gonzalez flare; he amassed a 2.03 ERA in the next three years leading up to the losses to the Sox; and, in five years since that playoff defeat against Boston, he has a 1.89 ERA and, yes, another ring to show off.
Thanks in part to those precedents, Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon emerged from his startling defeat in last year's postseason with no outward evidence of distress. Papelbon caught glimpses of Rivera's dominance in the 2009 playoffs, a reminder that a defeat need not represent a permanent setback.
"I've talked to [current Red Sox and former Yankees bullpen coach] Gary Tuck about that a lot. He was obviously with Mo for a greater part of his career," Papelbon said. "There's a lot of little nuances that we talk about, from his game to my game. That's what makes him who he is, and that's what makes an athlete who they are — how they bounce back.
"In this game, that's what's going to test you to see what you're made of. I take it all full steam ahead. It doesn't affect me. I'm not going to take it into this season. My whole goal this season is to start a streak over again, see what happens from there."
Certainly, Papelbon misses one of his proudest numerical accomplishments: his 0.00 playoff ERA. His 26-inning run without allowing a run was the longest ever by a player at the start of his postseason career.
The three runs that the Angels scored against him in the eighth and ninth innings of their comeback victory in Game 3 of last year's Division Series erased that image of lasting perfection. Rather than dismiss the event from his mind, Papelbon allowed the failure of that day to fester over the offseason.
In contrast to the taste of success, for which he has little practical use — Papelbon said that he never bothered watching the replays of his World Series triumph in 2007 — the 29-year-old found benefit in his brutal outing at the end of 2009. By his own account, he replayed the video of that meltdown 100 times in his home gym during the winter, using his unprecedented failure as a tool to push him harder toward 2010.
"I was using it as motivation whenever I was feeling tired and weak in the weight room," Papelbon said on Tuesday afternoon at the Red Sox' minor league training facility, shortly after his first bullpen session of the new year. "I'd pop it on and say, 'There's still work to be done.'"
And Papelbon certainly feels that his 2009 campaign offered a mandate for change and improvement. In some ways, that fact is a remarkable testament to what he's become.
Some of Papelbon's superficial stats last season suggested tremendous success. He had a 1.85 ERA, nearly matching his career mark (1.84) and identical to the number he posted in his outstanding 2007 campaign. He converted 38 of 41 save opportunities, a 93 percent rate that represented a career best.
But the standards for Papelbon are such that there were flaws evident through numbers that would have represented a career year for most relievers. Most notably, the Sox closer walked a career-high 24 batters in 68 innings, issuing one more free pass than he had in the previous two seasons combined (spanning 127.2 innings).
Papelbon attributed that struggle to an effort to alter his mechanics and to generate more power with his legs, thus taking some stress off of his arm. He suggests that as the season progressed, he found a comfort level that mixed his pre-2009 delivery with his adjustments.
The numbers suggest as much. Papelbon didn't allow any walks in his final 14 appearances of the season, giving the pitcher reason to believe that he can maximize his effectiveness and health if he carries those year-ending mechanics into 2010.
"I kind of fiddled around with that a little bit early in the season. My walks were up, and I went back to some of the things I knew best, and incorporated some of both aspects of being able to take some of the pressure off my arm and also me still being me, the pitcher that I am," Papelbon said. "This year, I'm going to be able to take that into Day 1, and hopefully that will be able to propel me through a successful season."
While Papelbon felt satisfied with those mechanical adjustments at the end of the year, he admits that on another count, he never achieved balance. The closer at many times worked with his fastball to the exclusion of other pitches, most notably a split-fingered fastball that was a swing-and-miss weapon for him from 2006-08.
Papelbon admits that he lost his feel for the splitter last season, and as a result, he fell into predictable patterns that made him more vulnerable. That was the case in the ALDS, when the Angels hitters said they were able to sit on fastballs in key counts. Papelbon hopes to create more uncertainty in opposing hitters in the coming year.
"For me, the biggest thing, I think, is being able to improve on my pitch selection. I think you can always improve on that," he said. "I tended to really kind of rely on [the fastball] a lot. Until I got hurt with it, which was a big part of the season, I went with it. Hindsight's 20/20 now, but obviously I'm going to take that into consideration, try to be a little more selective with my pitch."
All of that, Papelbon hopes, will help him to avoid ever having to answer for a defeat such as the one that he stared down all winter. He is hoping that, just as has been the case with other greats at his craft, he will prove capable of using a rare lesson in humility to make a renewed claim to elite status.
"Done with [2009], moving on. I've got new short-term and long-term goals for this season and it's time to rock and roll," Papelbon said. "I had a great streak in the postseason and it came to an end. I'm looking forward to starting that streak all over again for another four or five years, hopefully."

Union snacks: Forget hotdogs and burgers - classic British savouries are ripe for revival
Christopher Hirst
Christopher Hirst is an award-winning food writer and freelance journalist.
Thursday 10 January 2013
Though burgers, pizzas and even hotdogs have improved out of all recognition at certain specialist outlets, my snack of choice remains an item that would have been recognised by Dr Johnson. Welsh rarebit, specifically the one that seethes under the grill at St John restaurant in Smithfield, hits the bull's eye with its tempting aroma, golden good looks and reasonable cost (£5.20).
A pungent amalgam of cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce and strong, mature cheddar, it merits a detour at any hour but as Fergus Henderson points out in The Complete Nose to Tail, "it makes a splendid savoury at the end of your meal, washed down with a glass of port". You will note that the genial guv'nor of St John says "at the end". Yes, Welsh rarebit (or rabbit) works surprisingly well as an alternative to the customary dessert (Henderson's rendition is so plump and generous that you might want to share it). Indeed, it can be a happier conclusion than a pud, which particularly in the case of chocolatey affairs, tends to obliterate all that goes before.
If this sounds a particularly male approach, I might point out that if my wife spots it on a restaurant menu, she makes a terrier-like dash for the rarebit, planning her meal round the bubbling finale. London restaurants that serve Welsh rarebit among their offerings range from the stoutly traditional Sweetings in the City to the hip Rivington in Shoreditch and the glossy Caprice In Mayfair. Bettys in York also serves a substantial version.
At the culinary lighthouse of Quo Vadis in Soho, Jeremy Lee offers a tempting variant in the form of grilled Ogleshield sandwich. "It is a rather extravagant use of an amazing cheese made from unpasteurised Jersey milk," Lee admits. "You subject the Ogleshield to a prolonged pounding with mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Cut bread in very thin slices, make sandwiches and grill slowly for a long time. When people get the little sandwich served on a tiny white tray, they say, 'Is that it?', but when they have a nibble they say, 'Oh, point taken.' It's quite rich, very delicious."
There is no obligation for savouries to be of a cheesy nature. St John's devilled lambs' kidneys on toast (cayenne, mustard and Worcestershire sauce supply the infernal heat) gives Welsh rarebit a good run for its money, The fashionable fishy haunt of J Sheekey, in London, offers the option of soft herring roes on toast. This comforting combination has made a regular appearance in our house since the recent appearance of Canadian herring roes on the fish counter at Waitrose.
Many may think that these items function better as snacks rather than end-of-meal savouries but previous generations had no such qualms. In the 1934 recipe collection Good Savouries, picked by Tom Parker Bowles as one of his top five cookbooks, Ambrose Heath insists that the savoury "makes an admirable ending to a meal, like some unexpected witticism or amusing epigram at the end of a pleasant conversation". In fact, the savoury was not quite the last word, since diners subsequently tackled "the frivolities of dessert".
Ranging from anchovy and chicken-liver toasts (a highly successful nibble) to devilled prawns on toast and fried Camembert, these savouries must have been fairly modest in size if they were to be an entr'acte between main course and pud. You can see this with angels on horseback (Heath maintained that oysters wrapped in "very thin rashers of streaky bacon" then skewered, grilled and served on small pieces of buttered toast resulted in "the finest savoury of all"), but it is hard to see how more substantial combinations such as cheese artichokes (boiled globe artichoke bottoms on toast topped with Béchamel sauce, egg yolk and grated cheese) could be made small. Oddly, Heath omitted Welsh rarebit and its cousin buck rarebit (topped with a poached egg) because "we are only too familiar through their constant reoccurrence at table".
However, he does include the French equivalent, croque monsieur. The most popular of French savouries, it was invented around 1910 and mentioned by Proust a decade later. Finally gaining traction on this side of the Channel, the croque monsieur is a very protean nibble. Heath insists it is a small sandwich containing cheese-ham-cheese layers (the cheese is Gruyère) that is quick-fried in butter so the cheese doesn't melt.
In his authoritative book, Classic Cheese Cookery, Peter Graham agrees on the content but says the bread should be buttered and the sandwich grilled until the cheese begins to ooze out. "The breed of croque monsieur widely available today in French cafés," he adds severely, "is generally but a pale imitation of the genuine dish." Certainly, the version you usually get in Paris – a single, limp slice with a grilled topping of Gruyère béchamel over ham – does not accord with the name of the dish. Croque means crunch.
St John's Welsh rarebit
Since you make the topping in advance, it is worthwhile making enough for two or three snacks. The following amount is sufficient for six slices.
Melt a knob of butter in a saucepan and stir in 1 tablespoon of flour. Cook until it "smells biscuity but is not browning". Add 1 teaspoon of English mustard powder and half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Stir in 200ml Guinness and "a very long splash of Worcestershire sauce". Slowly add 450g grated mature Cheddar. Stir until creamy and pour into a shallow container to set. When you want to make the Welsh rarebit, lightly toast as many slices as you want, then spread the mixture about 1cm thick. Grill until bubbling and golden brown.
Soft herring roe on toast
Wash 225g of soft herring roe, then drain and pat dry with kitchen towel. In a small bowl, prepare 100g of seasoned flour by adding salt, pepper and a quarter- teaspoon of cayenne pepper. Lightly coat pieces of roe in flour. Fry in butter for 3-4 minutes until crispy on the outside (you might want to do this in batches). Serve on buttered toast with finely chopped parsley on top.

If you're afraid of flying, you may want to skip this item.
The Cast Away crash scene is pretty scary and about what I'd expect to happen if you crashed at night in the middle of the Pacific. But I find the crash scene from ALIVE to be harder to watch. Mostly because it's a true story and happened pretty much as the movie shows it. Plus you know that they've got 72 days of starvation and cannibalism ahead of them in the Andes. And as one commenter mentioned the crash at the end of United 93 is also almost unbearable to watch after everything the passengers went through.

Recalling Dave Weigels Privacy Standard
Sarah Palin took to her Facebook account today to inform her readers that Joe McGinniss, an award-winning reporter and author, had rented the house next door Can somebody explain to me how this isnt a despicable thing for Palin to do?Apparently in his view reporters have an unlimited right to invade someone's privacy as far as the law will allow. Yet when his own emails on Journolist were revealed (which breaks no law), he was outraged at the loss of his privacy. Goose, gander, sauce, and schadenfreude.
And more here on why leaking the Journolist entries was real, responsible journalism.

BBC prepares Olympic Torch ad campaign with Elbow soundtrack
By Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith, campaignlive.co.uk, Monday, 30 April 2012 01:28PM
Rainey Kelly Campbell Roalfe/Y&R has created the BBC's Olympics campaign for the torch relay, using Elbow's 'First Steps' in the creative, to showcase the national broadcaster's coverage of the event.
The campaign breaks tomorrow (1 May) and uses a graphic motif image of the Olympic Torch, featuring 8,000 holes within the design that each represents an individual torchbearer.
The TV ad pans back to show the individual dots joining together to create the image of the torch, which then transform into different images of landscapes, athletes and celebrations for the torch relay.
The 60-second ad will run across BBC One and BBC Three. Parts of the ad will be used within title sequences for the 'BBC Torch' specials, 'The One Show' special and 'Blue Peter'.
The ad will be the first in a series for the BBC to showcase its coverage of the Olympic Games, and the Elbow track, 'First Steps', will be used throughout Rainey's upcoming work for the broadcaster.
Executive creative director Damon Collins worked on the ad, with creatives Jules Chalkley and Nick Simons, producer Sarah Caddy, and production companies Red Bee Media and Studio AKA.
Earlier this month, RKCR/Y&R merged its digital shop, Saint, into the main agency, while at the same time, recruiting Jon Sharpe, the former chief digital officer at M&C Saatchi Group, as its chief innovation officer.
Executive creative director Damon Collins and chief executive Richard Exon left the agency in September last year to launch their own start-up. However, Collins oversaw the account and the creation of the current campaign in his time in the agency.

The Who Are You stars will perform in the city on 28 November, following a date at Dublin's O2 on 26 November.
The Who Hit 50 tour will then continue throughout the UK, including dates in Glasgow, London, Cardiff and Manchester.
The much anticipated concert will see the band take their audience on an 'Amazing Journey' through their entire career from the days of The High Numbers to classic albums such as Who's Next, Tommy, Quadrophenia, My Generation, up to the present day.
Guitarist Pete Townshend described the upcoming show as "hits, picks, mixes and misses".
He added: "Trying to stay young. Not wearing socks. Growing a great big Woodcutter's beard. Might even wear a check shirt on stage and get a tattoo of a Union Jack. Always a fashion victim. But under no illusions.
"We are what we are, and extremely good at it, but we're lucky to be alive and still touring. If I had enough hairs to split I would say that for thirteen years since 1964 The Who didn't really exist, so we are really only thirty-seven."
On the tour announcement, singer Roger Daltrey said: "This is the beginning of the long goodbye."
The Who have sold over 100 million records since forming in 1964.
Tickets for The Who Hit 50 at Belfast's Odyssey Arena go on sale from Friday 4 July at 9am.

Hotel owner doubles the price of wedding receptions just weeks before couples' big day... then brands those who can't afford it CHAVS
- Alice Tarry, 49, drastically raised cost of hiring Walton Hotel in Nottingham
- Some prices more than doubled, including restaurant hire (£250 to £1,000)
- Owner gave couples the choice of paying new rates or cancelling bookings
- She later took to Facebook to answer complaints about massive price hike
- Branded couples who could not afford the revised rates 'wedding chavs'
- Ms Tarry married millionaire businessman in lavish ceremony in late 2012
- By law, new firm has no legal obligation relating to previous agreements
A hotel owner doubled the price of wedding receptions at the last minute - and then branded couples who could not afford the hike 'chavs'.
Alice Tarry, 49, left dozens of brides-to-be devastated after she drastically raised the cost of hiring the posh Walton Hotel in Nottingham.
In some cases, the price had more than doubled - with one bill seeing the cost of restaurant hire soar from £250 to £1,000.
Sparking anger: Alice Tarry, 49, left dozens of brides-to-be devastated after she drastically raised the cost of hiring the Walton Hotel in Nottingham. Above, Ms Tarry is pictured with her millionaire husband, David Shelton
Hotel: She gave couples the choice of paying the new rates or cancelling their bookings at the hotel (pictured)
Ms Tarry, who took over the three-star hotel in February, gave engaged couples the choice of paying the revised rates or cancelling their bookings.
Many were forced to cancel the venue just weeks before their big day, while others had to scrap their honeymoons too because of the short notice.
Ms Tarry later took to Facebook to answer complaints about the price hike - and called couples who could not afford it 'chavs'.
Some of the price hikes at the Walton Hotel in Nottingham include:
Restaurant hire: £250 to £1,000.
Ten bottles of Prosecco: £199.50 to £299.50.
Evening barbecue buffet: £1,196 to £1,600.
Service charge: £150 to £507.08.
The new owner, who is married to David Shelton, the millionaire boss of UK car supermarket Motorpoint, wrote: 'Really need your support. Please check and befriend the Walton Hotel, Nottingham.
'Would you please checkout the backlash from the wedding chavs. I need a thumbs up on my comment as support.'
Heather Sulley, 26, was planning to hold her wedding reception at the hotel on August 16 when she received an email saying the cost had risen from £5,190 to £7,751.
Now, she and her fiancé Darren Smith, 31, have been forced to cancel their plans - and may also have to scrap their honeymoon to Mexico.
Ms Sulley, from Carlton, Nottingham, said: 'When I got the email my heart sank. The new owner said that she had taken over and that the price had gone up and the rooms had also gone up to between £110 and £160, even though we had agreed £70.
'I emailed back asking her to call me and she never did. It would have been easier to speak to the Queen than the owner.

'I was eventually sent a new inventory last Friday night and I broke down in tears because everything had gone up by £2,500.
'My mum found the Facebook comment and made us aware. It really upset her. We felt her [Ms Tarry] and her friends were laughing at us.
'We have managed to secure another place but we've had to find extra money which is jeopardising our honeymoon. We don't think we can afford it.'
Upmarket: In some cases, the price of hiring the venue had more than doubled - with one bill seeing the cost of restaurant hire soar from £250 to £1,000
Other customers claimed Ms Tarry had failed to give an explanation as to why the the fees had been increased at such short notice.
Web designer Christopher Dowson and his bride-to-be Clare Gunning were asked to pay an extra £1,500 for their reception, which was due to take place next Saturday.
The 33-year-old, of Netherfield, Nottingham, said: 'It took us several weeks to track down the new price and when we did we saw that everything was much more expensive.
'We had agreed on £3,000 and that went up to £4,500 - I do not know how they can justify this behaviour.'
Ms Tarry married Mr Shelton at the luxury four-star Rushton Hall in Northamptonshire in front of 100 guests in December 2012, before going on a honeymoon in Thailand.
The couple now live in a sprawling Grade II-listed farmhouse, worth £1million, in Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire.
The hotel owner has refused to apologise for the price hike, which came into effect last week, but has admitted her Facebook post was 'inappropriate'.
'I'd like to personally apologise for any distress and inconvenience this has caused. It has been a difficult situation for all concerned,' she said.
'As new owners of The Walton, we are passionate about ensuring it remains one of Nottingham city centre's best-loved independent hotels, and, in order to do this, we have had make some changes so it can be a sustainable and successful business in the future.
'This means we have had to discuss some previously agreed rates with some customers. We have offered a full refund or new rates to the couples affected in line with the terms and conditions of their agreements, and have personally discussed their options with them.

'We're sorry if some of the couples no longer wish to hold their weddings with us, and wish them all the very best for the future.
She added: 'Regarding the Facebook post, I'm sorry for any offence caused by comments I made on my personal social network site. They were meant to be private, but were inappropriate and were made in a moment of frustration, for which I apologise.'
Under law, a new company has no legal obligation in relation to agreements made by previous owners.
Trading Standards manager Jane Bailey said: 'We have had a complaint about the change in terms of a contract, but we are not currently investigating the hotel.'

Franklin County Sheriff Announces Bid For Columbus Mayor
Franklin County Sheriff Zach Scott said, Wednesday, he will run for Mayor of Columbus next year.
Police say a 20-year-old man has died after being shot during a birthday party on the city's north side.
Authorities were called to a parking lot at 3439 Westerville Rd. at 1:57 a.m. Saturday, where they found the unidentified victim with a gunshot wound to the upper body. He was transported to Ohio State University Hospital, where he died 45 minutes later.
Witnesses said a dispute at the party led to a fight and the shooting.
The incident marks the city's first homicide of 2013.

Parsons, Patterson lead Rockets past Jazz
Hayward sank a 3-pointer and scored seven points in the first six minutes of the third quarter, and the Jazz rallied to tie it. He was whistled for an offensive foul when he elbowed Asik on a drive. Asik came out of the game and walked to the locker room, pressing a towel to his face.
Hayward sank another 3 with 3:26 left in the third to put the Jazz up 75-74. He scored 11 points in the quarter and made all four of his shots, then dunked an alley-oop pass from Earl Watson early in the fourth.
Delfino, back after missing seven games with a groin injury, hit a 3-pointer to tie it at 88 and Parsons converted a three-point play after finishing a fast break to put Houston back on top.
The Rockets hit three 3-pointers early in the fourth quarter to stretch the lead to 10, but the Jazz answered with a quick 9-0 spurt to cut the deficit to 105-104. Both teams had their starters on the floor for the last six minutes, including Asik for Houston.
Patterson sank a corner 3 for a 112-109 lead with just over four minutes left. The Jazz missed their next four shots, running out of energy on the heels of a loss in Oklahoma City on Friday night.
"We came back and had opportunities in the game, on the road," Corbin said. "We just didn't finish it off."
NOTES: Jazz F Marvin Williams sat out for the second straight game with concussion symptoms, and Corbin said he has to pass more tests before he'll be cleared to return. Williams took a hard fall in Utah's 96-84 win in New Orleans on Wednesday. ... Jazz F/C Derrick Favors has an MRI exam scheduled for Sunday after straining his right arch in Friday night's loss to Oklahoma City. "Any time you hear about an injury you've got to have an MRI for, the MRI could reveal something," Corbin said. "Hopefully, it's just a short-term thing." . ... The Rockets have won 23 of their last 25 December home games. ... All five Houston starters scored in double figures for the third time in four games.

Starbucks invests in mobile payments with Square deal
Starbucks has struck a deal to integrate the technology of Square, the mobile payments start-up from Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey, into its US stores, as well as investing $25m (£16m) in the business.
Starbucks: introduced mobile payments into the UK this year via an iPhone app
Square, which was founded two years ago, processes transactions between merchants and customers, enabling small businesses who do not accept cards due to transaction fees, to accept payments on their Android, iPhone or iPad devices, using a small reader.
It also offers a mobile payments app, which users pre-load money onto and which allows them to pay at registers with a tap of their phone, positioned as an alternative to near field communication (NFC) technology.
The partnership, which includes a $25m investment from Starbucks as part of an investment round, will see Square process all credit and debit transactions in its US stores.
Follow @shearmans
Starbucks customers will also be able to use the Pay with Square app in Starbucks's US stores, later this year.
Starbucks's chief executive Howard Schultz will join Square's board.
Starbucks has not indicated whether the partnership will roll out to the UK, as Square is currently only available in the US.
Starbucks already embraces mobile payments technology and has an app which allows users to pay using their phones, locate stores, and check rewards points.
The deal will significantly extend the reach of the payments, company, which competes with eBay's PayPal and Google Wallet in the US.
Schultz said "The evolving social and digital media platforms and highly innovative and relevant payment capabilities are causing seismic changes in consumer behaviour, and creating equally disruptive opportunities for business."
Jack Dorsey, co-founder and chief executive of Square said: "More than two million individuals and businesses can already use Square. This partnership will accelerate our ability to provide them with the tools they need to grow their business and thrive in today's economy."
The mobile payments market is hotting up in the UK, with O2 recently launching a Wallet service to take on PayPal. However, NFC payments are yet to reach the mainstream and Google has yet to launch its Wallet service in the UK.

As a business you will no doubt have all kinds of data coming from different parts of your company. You might have your sales orders in a CRM system and your delivery information as an XML extract from your supply chain system, meaning the data you need to make decisions isn't in a consistent, useable state.
Before you can gain business insights from your data, or even start to work with it, it needs to be blended into one data source that plays nicely with your BI software. What you need is a tool that does this for you, and that easily integrates with your BI product.

A sarcophagus (plural sarcophagi) was a type of coffin used by the ancient Egyptians.
The stylised technology of the Osirian lodestone had the appearance of an ancient Egyptian coffin. There were also others that stored the Osirian service robot, who appeared as mummies. (TV: Pyramids of Mars)
The Monk's TARDIS appeared as a sarcophagus in a church in Northumbria in 1066. (TV: The Time Meddler)
A sarcophagus with an electronic lock was stored on board the space-faring version of the Orient Express as a means of capturing a mummy known as the Foretold. However, it was never put to use beyond accidentally being opened by feedback from the Twelfth Doctor's sonic screwdriver, as he later found away to help the Foretold pass on when alien technology kept his body from dissolving until it registered that a long-ended war was over.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Man gets two-year sentence for shooting gang members at birthday party
Crown cites several key witnesses who refuse to testify, claim they saw nothing, or have gone missing
A man has pleaded guilty to opening fire on gang members who crashed his 20th birthday party – hitting one victim in the arm and causing "horrific" injuries.
Alexander Sanderson pleaded guilty on Wednesday in The Pas to a charge of criminal negligence causing bodily harm for the July 2013 incident in his home community of Grand Rapids. In exchange, the Crown dropped a more serious charge of attempted murder.
Sanderson was then given a sentence of two years jail as part of a plea-bargain. The Crown cited serious concerns with its case, including several key witnesses who either refuse to testify, claim they saw nothing or have gone missing.
The incident began when Sanderson and numerous friends were celebrating his birthday at a residence on the reserve. The party mood turned sour when several people – connected to the Indian Posse street gang – began confronting guests outside the home. They were also flashing gang signs and may have been carrying weapons, court was told.
"There was lots of monkey business going on," said Crown attorney Todd Rambow.
Sanderson grabbed a shotgun, came out his front door and fired at least one blast while the firearm was at his side. He did not specifically take aim at any victim, court was told.
The victim who was hit suffered gruesome injuries to his arm which has left it practically "useless," court was told.
Defence lawyer Wendy Martin-White said her client suffers from cognitive issues and felt like his safety was being threatened.
Provincial court Judge Malcolm McDonald told Sanderson to "consider yourself very lucky" the Crown was forced to cut a deal and agree to a much lighter sentence than this type of crime would typically attract. The judge also expressed concern about the prevalence of gangs in communities like Grand Rapids and the reluctance of people to cooperate with police and justice officials.
"It's nothing but a recipe for disaster," said McDonald.
Sanderson has spent more than 13 months in custody without bail, which was given time-and-a-half credit. That leaves him with only about four months left of his sentence to serve.

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 11/12/14
NBA star Kris Humphries, the soon-to-be ex-husband of Kim Kardashian, reportedly has hurled the most explosive accusation during their bitter breakup: that Kardashian's mom, Kris Jenner, instructed her to shoot her infamous sex tape, and even told her to re-shoot it because it didn't come out "pretty enough." Humphries told this and other scandalous stories about the Kardashian clan to ex-girlfriend Myla Sinanaj in conversations and text messages, according to TMZ. The sex tape, which Kardashian made with R&B star Ray J, helped launch her celebrity -- which in turn did the same for the rest of her family. TMZ says sources close to the Kardashians deny the claim. Kim's lawyer's have subpoenaed Humphries' ex-girlfriend in the divorce trial, with sources saying her text messages and testimony could prove damaging to Humphries.
