Ana Snapshot : John Lewis AW14
Well this isn't an image I ever thought I'd be sharing on the blog, and what a fab night we had too. This Wednesday evening (23rd September) we were invited to John Lewis in Nottingham for the launch of its Autumn Winter 2014 Private Label collection.
When the invite popped itself into my virtual letterbox, I couldn't refuse. A chance to listen to, and meet the infamous Liz Jones, I think my reply was…HELL YEH! Continue Reading
Hotter Shoes Review : Nottingham In the Spotlight
I am already a convert to the Hotter Shoes concept, you can read my first Hotter Shoes Review HERE. However I bought mine online, and I have never been into the store. So I was very intrigued to see what I found, when I was recently was invited.
Firstly the store…
The Nottingham branch is bright and airy, but had a very homely feel, with comfortable chairs and seating areas, fresh flowers, the staff knowledgeable and friendly. I arrived midweek, it was a cold and wet day, and yet the place was buzzing with people, men and women browsing the shelves and being fitted for shoes. Even though the store was very busy, it was spacious and I didn't feel rushed. It is a well placed store, in the centre of Nottingham, near Marks and Spencer's, on Lister Gate – 1-3.
Shopping for shoes here really is different, it actually felt like an experience, it was a real pleasure. The staff were exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, but most of all passionate about the Hotter Shoe brand. I chatted at length to the Manager Tracey Gwilliam-Smith, who talked me through the amazing quality and comfort of the shoes, and how proud she was to work for Hotter Shoes.
After I had browsed the shelves, I was asked to take a seat, and my foot was measured. I do struggle with some styles of shoes, and since I had my first child, my feet have grown (as has my waistline) so I was intrigued to find out what I actually measured up to be. The assistant informed me, I am a size 8 E. Which means that I have a wider than average foot. Hotter shoes come in three width fittings E, EE, and EEE the latter being the widest. That does explain why I have, had problem in recent years with certain styles, including heels.
And now the shoes…
Hotter shoes offer such a wide range of shoes, they are the UK's largest shoe manufacturer. They are already very well known as offering unique Comfort Concept features inside and out – flexible, pillow soft underfoot cushioning to impress men and women alike. They have three core ranges, trend, signature and classic. They not only offer extra wide shoes, accommodating many different foot conditions, but they also have styles that don't have any seams which are perfect for people with diabetes. These features are so important to many people, including myself, but what I was surprised at, is how on trend some styles are. I actually took away with me two pairs of shoes, and I could have chosen many more!
My first choice was the Nigella ankle boot – £90. It was so incredibly comfortable, but this had not taken away any of the style, which it has oodles of. I must admit I had almost given up the thought of wearing heels every day, and I really missed the dressy and smart feeling that it gave to a outfit. These heels were so comfortable, I felt my foot sink into the cushioning and I could barely tell I was wearing heels.
The have flexi grooves in the soles for maximum flex, were effortless to slip on with an inside zip and cushioned comfort in the sole you can feel but not see…..amazing! Perfect for events, and business meetings I have over the winter months.
Dress/Kin by John Lewis £59 Boots/Hotter Shoes £90
Necklace/ Chambers and Beau
Well I now was determined to treat myself to another pair of heels, but a pair of shoes. When I saw these vintage inspired heels - France £80, I knew they would be perfect. They are supple with a slight stretch in the the strap. again with grooved soles, for maximum flex, and blissful padding underfoot, it sounds as if I am exaggerating, but really you have to try these on to understand how comfortable they are.
So there you have it, classy stylish fashionable footwear and happy feet. I couldn't be more impressed Hotter Shoes, I will be back!
Thank you for reading
I was given one pair of the hotter shoes to review, the second I bought myself, because I fell in love!
What has been voted Nottingham's Favourite Dish?
Yes that's right the classic Spaghetti Bolognese has been voted its top family meal. Closely followed by Pizza, a roast dinner, cottage or shepherd's pie and at number 5 a Korma or Fish Pie. Part of me is surprised we are, dare I say boring? However if these dishes are made from scratch for an weekday evening meal or at a weekend with fresh ingredients, then actually they are classic family favourites. I know all of the Ana Mum brood would definitely eat every one of them. I must admit that really is one of the main influences when deciding what to cook in our house.
The research is part of the Tesco 'Love Every Mouthful' campaign. Where they are trying to encourage the UK to celebrate food in all its glory. Tesco also want to highlight ingredients that are fresh, seasonal and British. That's got to be good right?
For more information on the Love Every Mouthful campaign please visit www.tesco.com/LoveEveryMouthful or on twitter #loveeverymouthful
So how did we make this classic? Well in fact this time Tall Dad wanted to cook, and as I don't eat meat, he was able to taste test as he was preparing it.
To make you need :
Bolognese Sauce
30ml of olive oil
400g of beef mince
200ml of beef stock
150ml of red wine
1 large onion (finely chopped)
400g of chopped tomatoes
1 bayleaf
Ground black pepper
300g dried spaghetti
50g parmesan
Heat the olive oil, add the onions with a little salt for 5 minutes over a medium heat.
Increase the heat now and add the mince, making sure you break up any lumps.
Once the mince is browned add chopped tomatoes, the stock and the red wine and bring to the boil.
Reduce and simmer add a bay leaf, leave to simmer for 45-50 mins (Tall Dad added a little chilli and Worcestershire sauce at this point)
Put the spaghetti in a large pot of boiling salted water (cook until al dente)
Taste the sauce and add seasoning as needed
Drain the spaghetti, and combine with the sauce.
Add parmesan, and serve
We would usually serve with a big salad and perhaps garlic bread.
For this and over 7,000 other recipes go on the Tesco site HERE
This Spaghetti bolognese classic went down extremely well, and as predicted they loved every mouthful. I think I would add herbs to the recipe if I was making it, but Tall Dad said the flavours were great, so perhaps it didn't need it.
Thank you Tesco for providing us with the ingredients to make this dish.

Hot, Hot, Hot : Ashes Mascot for the Day #Ashes
We are all very excited (especially Tall Dad) that Miss N (10 years old) is going to be the mascot on the opening day of The Ashes at Trent Bridge Nottingham. So this Wednesday she will get to the Trent Bridge ground and be given an England t-shirt and cap. She will then warm up with the players. Miss N (filmed by Sky TV) will also go out with both captains for the coin toss, to start The Ashes. Tall Dad, as a life long cricket supporter and player, could not be more proud!
So watch this space….and Sky TV (!!) at 10.30 in the morning, on Wednesday 10th July. You can also follow Miss N on Instagram HERE for live photo updates. Hopefully I will have lots of photographs and maybe a few tales to share too on the blog.
In the mean time, I would love to share with you this photograph, that was sent to me by my lovely local John Lewis store.
Julia created the accessories using patterns for adult size clothing and shrinking them, for example, the cricket helmet was adapted from a winter wooly hat pattern. The attention to detail is amazing, their jumpers (knitted by Sara) have a subtle cable knit just as a real cricket jumper would have. The photos were taken by Jemma Cox in-front of the iconic Members Pavilion at Trent Bridge.

Halliburton says it has agreed to pay $1.1 billion to settle a substantial portion of plaintiff claims arising from the 2010 Gulf of Mexico oil spill.
The Houston firm said Friday in its weekly report that 1,575 rigs were exploring for oil and 338 for gas. One was listed as miscellaneous. A year ago there were 1,776 active rigs.
It will be next month before Gov. Bobby Jindal will likely get a chance to change the membership of a South Louisiana flood board that is suing dozens of oil, gas and pipeline companies.
"Byzantine" is the word members of the nominating committee for the local flood protection authority often use to describe the complicated, multi-layered matrix of qualifications that must be met to fill a vacancy on that board.
The future of the coastal loss lawsuit could rest in hands of board's nominating committee.

Cheers, it's Oktoberfest!
Let's drink up some knowledge.
Today, Oktoberfest celebrations feature large quantities of pumpkin-spiced beer, but behind that is the fascinating geologic process of making the beer and wine used to celebrate with each year.
A mid-17th-century Jamestown family harvests the fruits of their labors, including squash, pumpkins, apples and corn (Sidney E. King, artist)
Hops: The Geologic Ingredient
Hops, the flower of the common hop plant (Humulus lupulus L.), is best known for its use to flavor beers. It is a female plant species that grows as a vine and is native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, such as North America, Europe, and western Asia.
There are many varieties of hops, which are used in the flavoring process of brewing beer. Each variety, grown in various areas, provides a different accent of flavor, contributing to the different flavors for each brand of beer. Other factors that can affect flavor are ingredients, such as barley and wheat, and the different brewing techniques.
Hops are a species of vine, whose flowers are used in the beer-brewing process. It provides flavor to beer, and has several varieties. This variety is called Cascade.
As hops plays an important role in the flavor profiles of beer, the alcohol and viscosity (thickness) are a function of other ingredients such as initial sugar content, which is then fermented by yeast into alcohol.
The Cascade variety of hops can grow to be extremely large and provide a great harvest and flavor for nearby breweries. Each type of hops requires different soil conditions, but hops in general share some broad requirements.The soil must be crumbly and well drained with low soil acidity. Hops also require access to a lot of water, so the presence of surface water is extremely beneficial.
In addition to its geologic mapping, soil geochemistry, and national streamgage network USGS, tracks flood and drought conditions that can significantly affect the growth of hops.
Geology Makes a Fine Wine
It's not just hops that rely on geology, not all grapes are ideal for wine-making. In fact, the soil, geology, and climate combine to make the difference between low-value table grapes and delicious wine. Most winemakers will say that nature and the Earth are as important as people in making the best wine.
Unlike hops, though, cultivators need to be concerned about giving grapes too many nutrients. In this video, USGS scientist Larry Meinert describes how grapes, when supplied with too much water and nutrients can over-produce and result in mediocre wine. Unlike most gardening, the more stressed the grapes, the better they become for wine production.
Wine-making grapes, like these Syrah (or Shiraz) grapes, require different growing conditions than grapes meant for eating. Cultivating wine grapes involves trying to concentrate sugars and encourage thicker skins, because these are what give wine its flavor. To do that, one of the most important factors to look for is the drainage of the soils. These grapes are grown on a greenstone schist formation in northern Maryland.
To do that, one of the most important factors to look for is the drainage of the soils.
Proper Soil Means the "Sauce" Won't Spoil
Soil chemistry and nutrients play a big role in the taste of the various hop and grape varieties. Soil drainage is an extremely important factor in the success of grape growing.
The better the drainage, the more concentrated flavor can be in grapes and therefore the better the wine. Better drainage is usually found in loose soils where the water can flow away from the vines. When wine grapes have access to too much water, the sugars are diluted and the grapes grow too large, meaning the skins aren't thick enough to provide proper flavor and color.
Soil drainage can be studied either through geologic mapping or through remote sensing surveying, like 3DEP. The 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) initiative is being developed to respond to growing needs for high-quality topographic data and for a wide range of other three-dimensional representations of the Nation's natural and constructed features through high-quality light detection and ranging (lidar).
Diatomite: The Natural Filter
Filtering is a key step to the beer and wine-making process. It is important to make sure that these beverages are clean and healthy. Luckily, the Earth has provided a natural filter in the process, a mineral called Diatomite, or diatomaceous earth, used in agriculture for grain storage as an anticaking agent, an insecticide, and as a natural de-wormer. Some farmers add it to their livestock and poultry feed to prevent the caking of feed. Diatomite is a chalk-like, soft, and very fine-grained sedimentary rock, usually light in color (white if pure, but usually gray, and rarely black). It is very finely porous, very low in density (floating on water at least until saturated), and essentially chemically inert in most liquids and gases.
The principal use of diatomite is as a filter aid, an absorbent for industrial spills, and in toothpaste. It is also used as filler in a variety of products from paints to dry chemicals, and as insulation material. USGS tracks these uses as well as the supply and production of diatomite in its annual Mineral Commodity Summaries.
Start with Science
Amidst all the fun and festivities, there is still much to learn. USGS provides the science and information to understand the potential, production, and consumption of all minerals, water, and climate conditions in the wine and beer making process.
So whether you're celebrating Oktoberfest with a cold pumpkin-spiced beer or a glass of red wine, make sure to learn some science with every sip!
A film that reminds us that "food is memory."
At the movies with Covo & Covo
By Delia Covo and Frederic Covo
In every issue, we screen and review a film related to food. For our reviews on current feature films, check www.EdibleSA.com and sign up for the free Edible SA newsletter, which premieres in late August.
Lasse Hallström (Chocolat) directed The Hundred Foot Journey, easily one of the best films of the year so far. The foodie film underscores the joys of cooking and absolutely showcases food as the universal language, with the power to tear people apart and, well, you'll have to go see this magnificent film to learn more.
The movie tells the story of a successful restaurateur family from Mumbai whose lives are turned upside down when tragedy strikes. To restart their lives, they decide to leave the land where their roots ran deep and travel through Europe to find a home. They are of course, the ultimate foodies, and their mission is to return to the culinary landscape where they are most likely to succeed again. Papa, played perfectly by Om Puri, decides the family will settle in a quaint town in the south of France. Madame Mallory, the not-so-welcoming neighbor, owns the Michelin-starred classical French restaurant across the street. And the battles begin.
Foodies will certainly understand this quote, delivered with great aplomb by Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren) in the scene above:
"In this restaurant, the cuisine is not an old, tired marriage, it is a passionate affair."
Juliet Blake, Steven Spielberg and Oprah Winfrey produced this charming film that embodies cooking as an art, local and fresh foods, complimentary flavor sensations, modern techniques and the power of emotions while cooking. Add fabulous cinematography to the mix — and audiences will enjoy the bonus of being carried along the tranquil and bucolic scenery of southern France, giving all a moment to appreciate the farmers markets and fresh foods growing in the nearby pastures.
The compelling screenplay is based on the delicious novel "The Hundred Foot Journey" by Richard C. Morais, who recently released his second work, "Brooklyn Buddhaland."
The movie runs about two hours and 30 minutes, but the time flew by. The entire staff agrees this is a must-see film for our readers.
We were sad to see it end. Splurge and go enjoy "The Hundred Foot Journey," which opens nationwide August 8.
Bon apetit!
"CHEF" serves up warm delights
At the movies with Covo & Covo
Every issue, we screen and review a film related to food. For our reviews on current feature films, check www.EdibleSA.com and sign up for the free Edible SA newsletter, which premieres in August.
By Angela Covo and Frederic Covo
Jon Favreau, writer, director and lead in the new film "Chef," gets back to his cinematic roots and serves up a delicious indie based on an idea "that hit me all at once."
"And then I wrote this thing (I have a lot of really, really good 8-page scripts, by the way). I didn't want to lose the scent, I was tracking it like a creature in the woods — and in less than a couple of weeks it was written," he shared.
After a couple of huge films (think Ironman), the friendly, easygoing filmmaker said the landscape is ripe for doing smaller films.
"You can do smaller movies now again. I think that's really good for all of us, because the big films have to appeal to everybody … to make its money back. But little ones like this, you can create for you and for an audience that will connect with it more personally, even if not everybody feels it," he said.
And he assembled a stellar cast to get the job done: John Leguizamo, Dustin Hoffman, Oliver Platt, Scarlett Johansson, Emjay Anthony, Robert Downey, Jr. and Bobby Cannavale. (A little trivia: NY Times food critic Andrew Platt is the brother of Oliver Platt, who plays the food critic).
The plot is easy to swallow too – a chef is already a little estranged from his son, Percy (Emjay Anthony) because he's always so busy. But when he lets the pressures of work and a well-meaning food critic (Oliver Platt) completely dominate his vista, he loses sight of what's important and hits rock bottom. His evolution is the feel good part of the film, but there's so much more.
Part road trip, part drama, part comedy and commentary on the techno aspects of today's society, Mr. Favreau succeeds in his endeavor. He created a terrific, light-hearted film that tells a story and shares the passion of the culinary world, from the inside out.
You won't find shoot-'em-ups or explosions here. You will get to see a father-son relationship develop (kudos to the wonderful young Emjay Anthony for a great job), the inner workings of a professional kitchen and the mind of a chef, some pretty amazing dishes and how wonderful life can be when you just let it happen.
Oh yeah, and remember to not to go see this film hungry, because you will suffer. We could almost smell the delicious meals and those Cubanos on the screen, thanks in no small part to Chef Roy Choi.
Culinary prep for the film
Mr. Favreau wanted to depict the nitty-gritty side of being a well-known chef. So he roped in Chef Roy Choi, affectionately known as the king of food trucks in LA, to teach the cast everything they needed to know to make the film as real as possible.
Chef Roy jumped right in as the culinary and technical advisor and put Mr. Favreau through an intense training period.
"It was more like a boot camp," the actor said. "Roy said I ate like a 9-year-old boy, because I had this whole list of things that I wouldn't eat. I wanted to show I was serious about this thing because a chef will taste anything and eat anything especially if it's being served to them by somebody. That's because it's a medium, it's an exchange."
Together, the duo created kitchen scenes that ring true, and will certainly resonate with many of our professional cooking friends. Chef Roy shared everything, from the proper choreography and etiquette in a professional kitchen to the proper knives to use and when. The degree of authenticity they achieved alone makes this film worth your time and trouble.
And most important, the passion and dedication required to be successful in today's culinary scene shines through.
Note: There is a free online cookbook available with Chef Roy Choi's recipes for the movie at www.bakespace.com, no need to sign up for free access to the book. Bonus tip: Make sure you stay for the credits, it will be worth your while.
We rate this a must-see film for all foodies and anyone who enjoys a good film.
And for those of you inspired to start your own truck … Ms. Lakendra Lewis will have all the information you need in the August/September issue! Also see page 53 in the June/July issue for the recipe to make the perfect Cubano sandwich.

Summer brings with it a lot of down time, whether you're standing in line for the Titan at Six Flags, riding in the back seat of the family SUV or sitting in the outfield at Globe Life Park, waiting for the Rangers game to start.During these breaks in the action, why not throttle a few aliens, hit some homeruns or explore an enchanted realm? All you need is a portable video game system and a handful of the hottest, most recent titles, such as Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster for Sony's PlayStation Vita or Kirby: Triple Deluxe or Yoshi's New Island for the Nintendo 3DS.Here are 10 of the most popular current titles for the gamer on the go. Borderlands 2 Platform: PlayStation Vita Publisher: Sony ESRB rating: Mature Price: $39.99 Available at: Best Buy, GameStopFor the PlayStation Vita version of Borderlands 2, developmental duties were transferred from Plano-based Gearbox Software to Iron Galaxy Studios. And, despite certain concessions to the more limited format (slower frame rate during combat and the lack of a four-player co-op mode, for example), the company did a fantastic job. The sprawling, first-person-shooter action is largely intact, as are the role-playing elements.Wielding a huge variety of guns, grenades and other weapons, players traipse across planet Pandora, accumulating cash while blowing away robots, giant insects, flamethrower-wielding troops and other enemies. If you own the PlayStation 3 version, you can cross-save your file, meaning you can transfer your game-in-progress to the Vita (and vice versa). Bravely Default Platform: Nintendo 3DS Publisher: Square Enix ESRB rating: Teen Price: $39.99 Available at: Best Buy, GameStopBilled as a "spiritual successor" to Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light, Bravely Default puts players in control of Tiz Arrior and his three companions as they wander the landscape and explore the dungeons of the fantasy world of Luxendarc, engaging in turn-based battles along the way. When you encounter an enemy, you can select Default, which helps shield your character and builds up your Brave Points, or Brave, which spends Brave Points on performing multiple attacks at once.As in many RPGs, characters earn new skills and level-up their abilities by winning battles. Animated cutscenes, watercolor backgrounds, 24 job classes (thief, pirate, mage, etc.) and the ability to recruit citizens (online) to rebuild Tiz's destroyed village add to the fun.Color Zen Platform: Nintendo 3DS Publisher: Cypronia ESRB rating: Everyone Price: $3.99 Downloadable via: www.nintendo.comCircles, squares, triangles and other geometric shapes fill the screen in Color Zen, a challenging yet relaxing puzzler. The objective of each of the game's 100-plus levels is to connect objects of the same color to make the entire screen turn a specific color. To complicate matters, there are white shapes that can turn any color, black shapes that eliminate other colors and dotted lines that shield shapes from turning another color.The hypnotic action is backed by a new-age electronica soundtrack that the creators of the game refer to as "16 'reverby downtempo' headphone jams suitable for meditation."Disney Magical World Platform: Nintendo 3DS Publisher: Nintendo ESRB rating: Everyone Price: $29.99 Available at: Best Buy, GameStop, Wal-MartA charming game the whole family can enjoy, Disney Magical World is essentially Animal Crossing for Disney devotees. After creating and customizing your avatar, you'll begin a journey in which you can interact with more than 60 Disney characters (including Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy) while exploring four worlds: Alice in Wonderland, Cinderella, Aladdin and Winnie the Pooh.The activities are virtually endless, from piecing together outfits, to building furniture for the cafe you manage, to battling ghosts in dungeons, to planting and harvesting crops. By collecting Happy Stickers, you can access new areas, including Chip and Dale's Workshop. This game will keep you busy for weeks.God of War Collection Platform: PlayStation Vita Publisher: Sony ESRB rating: Mature Price: $29.99 Available at: Best Buy, GameStop God of War Collection brings the PlayStation 2 classics God of War and God of War II to the Vita. Gamers guide a musclebound, tattooed, ashen-white anti-hero named Kratos as he slays his way through a Greek mythology-type world. Wielding such weapons as Apollo's flame, a barbarian hammer, the blade of Olympus and various magical attacks, Kratos battles Medusas, cyclopean beasts, minotaurs and other tough enemies, including the God of War himself, Ares. There are puzzles to solve as well. The running, jumping, hack-and-slash action is third-person 3-D at its finest, but the game is a brutally intense bloodbath, featuring over-the-top violence, a protagonist with ambiguous morals, and gore and nudity to spare. Clearly, this one's not for the kids. The LEGO Movie Videogame Platforms: Nintendo 3DS, PlayStation Vita Publisher: Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment ESRB rating: Everyone 10+ Price: $19.99 Available at: Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Wal-MartWhen The LEGO Movie hit theaters in February, critics and audiences alike were pleasantly surprised that the film was much more than a simple toy tie-in — it actually had heart and soul. Less surprising was The LEGO Movie Videogame, which plays a lot like LEGO Marvel Super Heroes, released last year.Despite (or because of) the familiarity, kids (and many of their parents) will enjoy the game, in which players control Emmet, an average Joe who was mistaken for The Special, a Master Builder who must save the world. While journeying through 15 levels, plus various side missions, Emmet battles villains, collects LEGO studs, builds helpful items and encounters such playable pop-culture heroes as Batman and Gandalf.MLB 14 The Show Platform: PlayStation Vita Publisher: Sony ESRB rating: Everyone Price: $39.99 Available at: Best Buy, GameStop, TargetIf the basement-dwelling Texas Rangers are too depressing to watch, start your own baseball season with MLB 14 The Show, the ninth game in the popular series. In addition to updated rosters, the game features a new Online Franchise mode, in-game currency (for purchasing training points and the like) and year-to-year saves, the latter of which lets you carry your progress over to future versions of The Show.In the revamped Road to the Show mode, players can create a player and advance from the minors to the majors. For those who find the sport a tad on the slow side, you can enable Quick Counts, in which each at-bat begins deep into the count.OlliOlli Platform: PlayStation Vita Publisher: Roll7 ESRB rating: Everyone Price: $12.99 Downloadable via: store.sonyentertainmentnetwork.comDating back to 720 Degrees (1986) in the arcades, Skate or Die (1988) for the NES and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (1999) for the original PlayStation, skateboarding video games have a rich and enjoyable history. One of the most recent entries in the genre is OlliOlli, a fun side-scroller with retro visuals and fast gameplay. Controls are simple (if nuanced), as the X button handles speed, the analog stick lets you pull off more than 120 tricks (flips, spins, grinds, etc.) and the shoulder buttons alter said tricks with twists and turns.A special Daily Grind mode gives you worldwide access to the same level each day for 24 hours, challenging you to top the online leaderboard.Shovel Knight Platform: Nintendo 3DS Publisher: Yacht Club Games ESRB rating: Everyone Price: $14.99 Downloadable via: www.nintendo.comIf you have a lot of Facebook friends who are heavily into gaming, you've likely seen praise for Shovel Knight, a retro-style, side-scrolling platformer that borrows from such classic Nintendo NES titles as Castlevania, DuckTales, Mega Man and Zelda II. Funded through a Kickstarter campaign, the game puts the player, as the title suggests, in control of a shovel-wielding knight, battling enemies and digging up treasure.Shovel Knight, a high-jumping hero, works his way through an impressive variety of colorful areas, including plains, a village, a stranded ship and a clockwork tower. Spot-on controls, tough (but fair) challenges, charming old-school graphics and a certain sense of familiarity combined with new gameplay elements make this one a winner.Tomodachi Life Platform: Nintendo 3DS Publisher: Nintendo ESRB rating: Everyone Price: $34.99 Available at: Best Buy, GameStop, TargetIf you enjoy such open-ended life-development simulations as Animal Crossing and The Sims, you should get a kick out of Tomodachi Life, a game that is as quirky as its Japanese title. Players create a bunch of Mii characters — family, friends, teachers, celebrities or anyone else — and watch and interact with them as they eat, go shopping, argue, play music and games, try on outfits, develop friendships, fall in love, and much more.As you facilitate the action and problem-solve, Miis often behave in humorous and surprising ways. Earning experience points lets you add more items and characters, increasing the whimsical, unpredictable nature of the game.

AOL is now Aol.—complete with period. In the campaign designed by Wolff Olins, the old logo is now offset by hundreds of different backgrounds that include everything from a leaf to a kissing couple to a goldfish. The change is part of a larger strategy to create a "new brand identity" for the ailing company—last week AOL announced they were laying off a third of their employees—prior to being spun off next month by Time Warner. Will the new logo help revive the faded online giant? (Watch a video showing off AOL's revamped image)
It signals a new day for AOL: This rebranding is "the media equivalent of moving out of your parents' house, heading to the nearest tattoo and piercing parlor, and yelling FREEEEEEDOM!" says Caroline McCarthy at CNET News. This is about more than just their logo, though. New CEO Tim Armstrong, formerly of Google, "keeps talking up AOL's future as a powerhouse in digital content and publishing."
"Farewell, triangles: AOL preps its post-Time Warner look"
Nothing can save it: A radical reshift in brand identity suggests something's wrong, says ad man Oliver Reichnestein to the Christian Science Monitor. "Well, we all know what": AOL's business is "obsolete." The redesign of the logo, which amounts to "random images" is surely a "drastic measure." If the rebranding's goal was to illustrate how redundant AOL is, you'd have to say: "job well done."
"Goodbye, AOL triangle. Hello, AOL goldfish."
Rebranding makes sense, but they've bungled it: AOL "has an eclectic mix of content sites" attractive to advertisers, says Jeff Bertolucci at PC World, including gossip site TMZ and tech blog Engadget. But this logo just doesn't suggest Internet superiority. "Cynics may suggest that the lower case characters symbolize erectile dysfunction," reminding people that AOL is "not the virile Internet player it once was." The days when AOL had 34 million subscribers "are long gone."
"AOL changes its logo, and more"
The worst part? The logo is too easy to parody: "Anyone with Arial on their machine will be more than happy to slap an "Aol." on whatever they find funny or demeaning," says Armin at Brand New (click to see examples of parodies). "When you are a media giant, vulnerable to an endless array of criticism, you have to be careful what ammunition you give your haters."
"Aol. Generation. Next."

They are ignorant, uncompasionate, employees.
SUBMITTED: Wednesday, August 21, 2002POSTED: Wednesday, August 21, 2002
I am a new graduate, and newly licensed Registered Nurse. And was unable to find employment in Germany due to the fact that I had under one years experience, and the fact that the need for nurses in Germany is not high, like in the states. Therefore, I tried to call Americredit and explain the situation, and to work something out. They were of no help and offered no suggestions of any kind. I fell quite behind for awhile, and still tried to work something out with Americredit.
Their employees were rude, and ignorant when I explained certain military details they couldn't comprehend anything. They were very uncaring of the misfortunate situation I had been put in. I was a great customer up untill this situation. However, it didn't make any difference to them.
I DID, get employment, and I did catch up three months of payments in two paychecks, and I have been a great customer since.
I would never again deal with Americredit, and I will refinance and find a new financial lender in the near future. I will also spread the word of their poor customer service and attitudes to other military members, hospital employees, friends, and family.
Are you an owner, employee or ex-employee with either negative or positive information about the company or individual, or can you provide "insider information" on this company?

6 Bands No One Noticed Broke Up
By Corey Deiterman
Every time front man Bob Schneider figures he's had enough of the Scabs, he gets yet another juicy contract offer to bring 'em back one more time. The chunk of cash I saw him flip through before paying off his band at a Satellite gig in the summer was just like the kind of spectacular wad of jack some Enron execs were likely flashing at gentlemen's clubs earlier this year after cashing in their stock. The money's great, but so's the adulation. What rock star's ego wouldn't be caressed by the sight of a jam-packed club full of awestruck fans, many of them wishing they could play horizontal rugby with Bob after the show? There's no reason to think these two gigs will be anything less than New Year's Eve to the power of ten. As one fan said in a recent posting to a Scabs Web site: "Ain't no party like a motherfuckin' Scabs party."

*groan* at some of those debate topic suggestions. LOL What about "Kittens or puppies: Which are cuter?"
Seriously Fuchsia -- sending positive thoughts and prayers your way! Whatever you want to talk about, I'm certain we'll be game!
Fuchsia, SO glad to hear that things are looking up for Rob. Will be thinking of him and you guys. What part of BC are you in? My mom lived in Sooke, and my sister is probably moving to Vancouver (from Bangkok) sometime in the next few years.
I loved the shopping cart debate a lot.
I just invented a really weird muffin. I'm not sure how I feel about it. It was supposed to be a blood orange poppy seed muffin but then I ran out of blood oranges before I had enough juice for it so I used Meyer lemons. It's very tangy. It's a little odd, I admit. The texture's perfect, though.
Dave is away until Thursday night so it's just me and the kiddies. He lovingly made us enough dinner food to get us through the next few days since I can't cook anything (except muffins, loaves, and cookies).
We could always debate the death penalty. Or something about car seats.
I saw the naturopath yesterday. In his opinion all my symptoms are inflammatory responses and they are likely all a reaction to wheat and/or gluten. Constant sinusitis/colds, psoriasis, reflux, alternating diarrhea/constipation, painful joints, puffy hands and feet, weight gain. I'm off all grains, including rice and corn, and anything else containing gluten until I go back in 3 weeks for my lab work results. He also recommended I read a book called 'Wheat Belly'. Anyone read it?
Lisa I've read it- I'm gf and would be happy to talk to you about it- will fb message you!
fuchsia I love Victoria, I lived in Seattle for 6 years and used to spend lots of time up there- beautiful beautiful place!
It is official. DH is getting the big v. June 20 I cannot wait to get off bc.

I guess my nights are so cheap because I pretty much only drink or go out at my rowing club, where beer's 1,20. So assuming everyone gives an equal amount of rounds end you end up paying give or take as much as you'd have paid had you bought all your own drinks, you wouldn't even get to 20 a night.
Yeah my nights out in leiden were never more than 20 euros. Tbf last night was only about a tenner. Found two quid on the floor so that was a free double. Wonderful.

The History Of Manteno, Illinois
The township of Manteno was established in 1855. The town was named after Manteno Bourbonnais, the child of a Potowatami Indian woman and Francois Bourbonnais, Jr, the son of the man whom the town of Bourbonnais is named after. The Indian word "Manteno" is possibly Anglicization of manito or manitou, which means spirit in the Potawatomi language. In many of the books of that era the town has a wide range of different spellings. Here are a few examples from19th century books, including one written by one of the original inhabitants of the area Oliver W. Barnard:
- Mantenau
- Mawteno
- Monteno
The town of Manteno was pretty unexceptional during the decades after its creation. This is true for most of the small towns in rural Illinois during that era. This history of Manteno, IL is very basic but you can find out more by visiting the links located at the bottom of this page. Manteno gained a lot of attention in 1930 when the Illinois State Hospital was built on the east side of town. The Manteno State Mental Hospital or Insane Asylum was a massive campus of buildings and it stayed open until 1985. It is listed on many paranormal web sites as one of the most haunted places in Illinois.
Manteno has enjoyed an excellent growth rate due to the large number of employers. Both Kmart and Sears have massive warehouses in Manteno and there are many other warehouses and manufacturers.
Manteno Historical Society & Museum
If you want to learn more about Manteno IL (60950) I strongly suggest visiting the Manteno Historical Society (MHS). The dedicated men and women at the Manteno Historical Society have worked hard to preserve the history of Manteno and educate anyone who is interested in learning more about this town. I am sure anyone from the MHS who reads this article will cringe at the lack of details and the likely inaccuracies.
To actually see the history of Manteno you can visit the museum. This museum contains artifacts from the earliest days of this wonderful town. This museum is an excellent place to bring your family. Here are the details for those who want to learn more:

Educational opportunity is under attack on many fronts
If you have the means, you can afford to choose among many different options for your children. Though New Hampshire has better schools than most states do, no one seriously believes that one school is the best possible choice for every student in a particular zip code. More opportunity leads to better outcomes.
Education reformers passed a public charter school law in 2003. The idea was to create innovative alternative schools that allowed students, particularly those who can't afford existing alternatives, another public choice in education.
Similarly, last year the Legislature passed a modest program of school choice scholarships. It allows tax credits for businesses that donate to organizations that give scholarships to students from lower-income families. The program is just starting, but it promises to give poorer children another choice.
From the beginning, both opportunity programs have been under attack. The charter school program endured the apathy of lawmakers and the governor, who merely shrugged their shoulders when a school district strangled the first charter school by neglecting to pass on the funding appropriated for the school. Enforcing that law was a bridge too far.
Future Legislatures and funding formulas changed the law to eliminate the opportunity for criminal mischief, but opponents aren't done. The state Board of Education has been guided by the odd advice of one state lawyer who claims that the board is no longer permitted to authorize charter schools because the next budget hasn't been passed so no one knows if there is going to be funding. Logically, then, they can't grant any school a five-year charter because we have a two-year budget.
This contorted logic, by the way, would also suggest the closure of every other charter school (after all, the next Legislature could theoretically not fund them) and most public schools (the Legislature could suddenly decide we'll only have 14 really big schools and no one else gets money). That's ridiculous, of course, but so is the back-door moratorium.
If there is ambiguity (and I don't honestly believe there is, nor did the Legislature that passed the law the lawyer claims frustrates the board), it can be cleared up. Funding is the province of the Legislature. Approval of schools by the board includes a financial component, but the board was never meant to try and prognosticate future funding decisions of the Legislature. Any cap or retreat from the policy of opportunity should be decided by the Legislature, not by administrative fiat or a legal opinion that has not been written down or presented for public discussion. Law is currently being determined by a private, unpublished, oral opinion.
The second attempt to limit opportunity is being conducted openly in the Legislature. Opponents are trying to repeal last year's school choice law. The law limits scholarships to students in the lower half of incomes in the state. It would allow tax credits for business donations to scholarship organizations. The scholarships would help parents purchase an education at any approved school in the state. This law, like the charter school law, is about increasing opportunities for people who have limited educational opportunities today.
Scholarships will average $2,500, but that small amount can make a radical difference in the life of an individual child. Today, every non-public school has some students who pay no tuition and some who pay a small amount based on need. The modest scholarship will allow every school to accept more students who pay zero and more who pay little.
It's easy to lose sight of the goal of educational opportunity in all the ideological banter. When the liberal Washington Post editorialized in favor of a D.C. opportunity program, it reminded us all what this debate is about. The editorial, titled "The Right Answer," concluded: "What shouldn't get forgotten in this seemingly endless fight are the people with the most at stake: parents who simply want what's best for their children."

Only one person working on premises it was over a half hour waiting time to return the truck and I was second in line probably people had to wait longer
Nothing everything was great!
I was very happy with the service
The right rear light was not operating and I forgot to mention it when I returned the trailer. I will call in the morning to report it
The auto transport I rented had to be the oldest junkiest one on the lot, I was surprised the tail lights worked when we hooked up and am pretty sure they didn't stay working during the tow.It did get that job done but I think its time to retire that unit.
The staff was very friendly and helpful and I will definitely rent from that location again.
Back in 6 months .
Top quality people work at this location. Very happy.
We were forced to rent a trailer much bugger than we needed and at a much more cost. We had reserved a 4x5 trailer in Pprtsmouth NH for this moving and had to change plans due to a death in the family. This required us to rent the trailer in NJ and was told that I could only get the bigger trailer even though Uhaul had 4 x 5 foot trailers available for local rentals. This coas us almost $200.00 more & additional fuel to complete our move. This feels much like a BAIT & SWITCH game ND HAS LEFT US VERY DISCOURAGED BY THE CORPORATE DECISIONS THAT EFFECT THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE UHAUL SUCCESSFUL BY RETURNING OVER & OVER TO RENT FROM YOU
TRuck kept stalling out everytime it was idiling.
The only thing I might suggest is either hiting an additional part time person on the weekends to reduce the wait time or find a way to make the checkout process more efficient.
I was very pleased with the Customer service of Mitch. He went out of his way to make sure I was satisfied. I will be doing business with U-Haul in the future most definitely.
The only bad thing was the gas meter was under 1/4 tank. They gave me nine dollars credit. But when I returned it over 1/4 tank I got no credit like they said. I had to pay nine dollars instead ! Strange!
Really liked the E-Mail confermation
Very helpful and courteous service representative. He was fast, efficient and professional. I would definitely recommend this facility to those looking for rental equipment.
Great customer service. They'll get you in and out even at rush hour. Will rent again in the future.

Excellent service. Reasonable price. Courteous personnel. Will definitely use again!
