About Betsy Winthrop
I am a retired attorney. I own and manage two beach properties in addition to Shoreline Vacation. I have extensive experience hosting vacation rentals in Santa Barbara and in other areas of Southern California. I am assisted by a highly competent management team that has lived and worked in the Santa Barbara community for 30 years. You can be assured that you will be well cared for should any concerns arise. We respect your privacy and leave you alone unless you call.
Betsy Winthrop purchased this house in 2013
Why Betsy Winthrop chose Santa Barbara
In my experience, people who visit Santa Barbara want to live at the beach, while being close to the shops, restaurants and theaters. This property gives you all of that and a swimming pool as well! It is on a quiet street but close to everything. And, you can walk around the corner and be on the sand.
What makes this house unique
The swimming pool, of course. And there is only one bedroom upstairs if part of your group wants peace and privacy. The backyard provides plenty of outdoor living space with a covered porch as well as sunny areas and a propane fueled BBQ. The decor is 'cheerful chic' and reflects the Santa Barbara beach lifestyle. When you come back sandy from the beach you can stand under a hot shower by the pool to rinse off, and then step right into the spa and relax, or choose the heated pool for a lively game of water volleyball. Cooking is a dream in the brand new kitchen, decorated in blues and greens with a wall of mosaic glass tiles. And the cook can chat with the rest of the adults, whether seated at the kitchen counter or spread out in the spacious living room. Meanwhile, the kids can retreat to the back bedroom to watch their own TV.

Slique Tea
Slique Tea is an exotic drink from Young Living that has been formulated with natural ingredients to help support individual weight goals.* This blend is rich in flavonoids, a dietary compound generally associated with helping maintain certain normal, healthy body functions. It also contains polyphenols, which may be useful as part of a guilt-free weight-management regimen when combined with a healthy diet and physical activity. This unique blend is enhanced with 100% pure therapeutic grade Arabian frankincense powder, exclusively sourced from Young Living's distillery in Salalah, Oman.
Item No: 4560, Pricing Info
Jade oolong tea, inulin, ocotea leaf (Ocotea quixos), Ecuadorian cacao powder, vanilla essential oil, frankincense powder (Boswellia sacra), and natural stevia extract.
Copaiba Essential Oil
Copaiba is an incredible essential oil that continues the tradition of South American essential oils being offered by Young Living.
Deep in the heart of the Brazilian rain forest, the copaiba tree is harvested by "tapping" the heartwood similar to how rubber and maple are tapped. The resin is collected and then steam distilled, a process that delicately extracts the pure essential oil.
Copaiba has traditionally been used in native teas and is very soothing. It also has helped regulate people's natural immune response.*

Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils
What does Young Living Therapeutic Grade (YLTG) mean? Read more about Young Living's commitment to providing you with the highest quality essential oils.
Experience Amazing Benefits of
True Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils
Therapeutic grade essential oils are extremely concentrated particularly when they have been derived through distillation, which is the most effective method of extraction. Because essential oils are so highly concentrated, most of them are at least 50 times more therapeutically potent than the herbs or plants they came from. When herbs are cut & dehydrated for therapeutic use, they can lose as much as 90% of the healing nutrients as well as the vast majority of the vital oxygen molecules. Not so with essential oils, which are many times more potent than dried herbs.
Most of the essential oils you find in health food stores are so low in quality and full of adulterations, you would be shocked. Even essential oils labeled as "PURE" are not what they seem.
There is a very big difference between the low quality essential oils and true therapeutic grade essential oils.
Young Living Essential Oils set the standard for purity and quality in the U.S. Every batch of oils is rigorously tested by independent laboratories before being sold to customers. You are protected by Young Living's unconditional guarantee of purity and quality.
To be able to certify completely the high grade of his oils, Gary Young has taken the ultimate step: he has developed his own farms and his own distillation techniques to guarantee the top quality he seeks. He has become a true pioneer in developing these operations in the United States. I wish everyone could see firsthand the Young Living Aromatic Farms.
If you would like to . . .
- Relax after a stressful day
- Replace harsh chemicals with natural personal care and household solutions
- Support your healthy immune system
- Have healthy skin care options that reveal your natural radiance
- Decrease obnoxious odors
- Pamper your body from the outside in
- and much more
. . . then please consider True Therapeutic Grade Essential Oils!
If you're not including essential oils in your health regimen, you are missing one of Nature's most powerful, means to enhance your health and the sheer enjoyment of being alive.

Vivid Named Studio of the Year- XCritic Consumer Reviews
"Hank Hoffman is the sickest mind in porn." High definition video!!! This isn't her debut...but it's her "nasty" debut because she does things she's never done before. Like a three-way with a double facial!!! And when Savanna enters the picture for a fetish-and-f*ck slamathon, you'll be treated to a Lacie you've never even imagined!!! You've seen her nice. Now see her naughty. The Switch is on!!! Only from Hank Hoffman.
It always comes back to you. Cheating. Laying. Lying and loving. Adults great new visionary B. Skow creates a series of scorching vignettes that revolve around the subject of infidelity. Lit and acted as only B. Skow can do. See Mercedez as you've never seen her before. As B. Skow sees her in Karma, an honest look at dishonesty in all its forms.
Sunrise hooks up with her new man on New Years Eve and all they can talk about is old lovers...you know...that old baggage we all own. But in the end they see something in themselves that they never saw before: each other. And suddenly, everything old is new again.

During a recent interview, Stephanie McMahon touted the WWE app by revealing that it has been downloaded more than eight million times.
"Everything just went so quiet, it was a sellout, can you imagine that, here I am, wrestling my hero, the champ, and I end up winning the belt, one, two, three, a knee drop of the top, and I say, "where is the belt?" Finally, he raises my hand and he says, go back to the dressing room; you'll get the belt back there. They were afraid of a riot. I didn't pick up on it, but I did notice the people were very, very quiet. You could hear a pin drop, because they couldn't believe that Bruno got defeated after what, seven years? As far as Bruno was concerned, a lot of people don't realize, but those rings up there in New York are the boxing rings, the four ropes and a lot more stable base on the ring and not as much spring on the ring. Consequently us wrestlers, taking big back drops and suplexes on that, it ends up taking a toll on the body a lot more, so I really believe that Bruno needed the time off maybe surgery, maybe just get some rest. You know, I can imagine wrestling nearly every night and the pressure is on you because you're the champion and you have to draw money, so it was the whole idea that Bruno didn't mind the situation that much, because he wanted time off any way."

Sound of explosion cause revealed
Updated On: Jun 19 2013 05:01:35 PM CDT
We know what caused the sound of an explosion in a Goleta neighborhood.
It happened around 6 p.m. Tuesday during a house fire on Momouth Avenue in Goleta. Santa Barbara County firefighter Cpt. David Sadecki said burning ammunition, propane and cans of paint created the loud noise.
"It was like a loud explosion. It was really loud. And, it was like pop, pop pop," said neighbor Howard Rose.
The explosive material was stored in a shed near the home. Firefighters are confident the fire started in the shed but, the cause of the fire is still under investigation.

This post originally appeared on the Bio-Optronics Blog
The analysis of patterns in clinical trials has indicated that studies are becoming increasingly complex. Over time, more and more procedures are included in protocols, and these procedures are increasingly complex. Frequently, amendments are added to protocols, further complicating the implementation of the desired protocol.
In addition, adaptive trials are predicted to gain traction in the next several years. In fact, many CROs and sites have already expanded their capabilities to accommodate adaptive trials. Adaptive clinical trials are another effort to reduce waste in clinical trials. In this design, protocols can be optimized or changed midstream as data is collected. According to the Journal of the National Cancer Institute, the types of adaptations "can be to drop a treatment arm that isn't effective, alter dose levels, or increase the trial size if a drug proves less responsive than predicted." The belief is that many trials fail because the protocol is not optimally designed, making it difficult to tell if an IMP is actually effective. The FDA and industry are pushing for adaptive trials because they are expected to be more efficient that traditional studies.
Adaptive trials are expected to encourage more patients to enroll in studies. In adaptive trials, if a treatment is working with the initial trial participants, later enrollees are more likely to be given the medicine over a placebo. It is proposed that patients will prefer the increased chances of receiving a new treatment and will be more likely to enroll.
Nevertheless, adaptive trials and otherwise complex trials will require more time and effort by staff be spent on administrative tasks. Ideally, a technology could alleviate the administrative burden of increasingly complex trials, leaving staff to focus on patients.
The right CTMS can help sites, CROs, AROs, other research networks, and sponsors simplify their workflow and the complex environment around them. The investigative staff should be able to easily add procedures to the protocols, and change them as needed. A product should provide flexibility that can handle many amendments and will allow the user to determine when each is activated and can apply the changes going forward.

I'm working on a very large Flash RPG at the moment. In order to make some major progress, I would need to take a short break from producing music. Please do me a favor and pick the statement that sums up your feelings (or just pick one at random if you want)
a.) I don't care how long it takes for you to make the dumb RPG, just keep making music and we'll see the game when we see it
b.) I want to see the RPG finished within a few months and I don't care if you don't make any music in the meantime
c.) I don't care if you finish your RPG or make your music because I think you're a talentless poohead
d.) I don't know who you are and I don't care at all. You should make up your mind like an adult instead of leaving your decisions to strangers on the internet
For anyone wondering, the RPG I'm working on is going to be a full-length Flash RPG (about 10-15 hours, probs) with an original story and original characters. I've been working on it on and off for almost a year now already and am kinda wondering if I should just blast through it and get it done.

Hang on to your drink and popcorn, because there's a movie seat that wants to take you for a ride.
It's not often theater seats get an unveiling like this, but at Ultra Star at Hazard Center, the seats are part of the show.
Guy Marcoux of D-Box Motion System says, "You have surround sound. You have 3D. I think we bring the next level."
The next level by offering a theater seat that moves with the movie.
Damon Rubio of Ultra Star Cinema says, "Because motion pictures have always needed motion, and now we have a way of delivering that."
The D-Box Motion System uses three motors and a script that times the action on the screen with the action coming from your chair.
Damon says, "They'll turn, they'll tilt, they'll go up and they'll go down, they can actually rock around in a circle so they have a lot of different degrees that they can move."
Take the clip from "The Fast and the Furious," the seat mimics the action on the screen.
This isn't like an amusement park motion ride. It's more subtle than that. But you do get an extra kick when cars skid to a stop or squeal out. You can even dial the movement's intensity up or down to your liking.
Guy says, "Very subtle, very extreme if we want, depending on what the movie can bring us, we can replicate it."
Theater guest Keith Miller says, "I had it all the way up so it wasn't subtle at all. It was shaking me."
Theater guest Lois Jones says, "I felt like I was right there in the car when they were doing the chase scene."
The motion sensitive seats not only enhance the film, but also the price of watching the movie, about $8 for the experience.
The seats are sold in advance. Right now there are 9 films that work with the D-Box system with more in the works.
Guy says, "I think we enhance the movie experience as a whole and that's why people are loving it so far."
Lois says "I was actually feeling the movie. I wasn't feeling the seat move."

I know that I'm going to meet an old person one of these days. It will be down the road in 10, 20 or 30 years. He'll be waiting there for me; I'm catching up with him all the time.
What kind of person do you suppose I'm likely to meet? That's a significant question, it seems to me. He may be an enthusiastic person who has grown old gracefully and is surrounded by a host of clients, associates and friends who regard him as successful because of what his life and its work have meant to them and to others. On the other hand, he may be a bitter, unsuccessful, even cynical old buzzard without a good thought about anything or anybody.
The kind of person I meet depends entirely on me. Actually, that old person will be me. He will be the composite of everything I do, say and think today and tomorrow. His mind will be set in a mold that has been fixed by my attitudes and actions. Every thought — positive or negative — goes into his makeup. That person will be exactly what I make him — nothing more, nothing less. It's all up to me, and I'll have no one else to credit or blame. Every day and every way, I'm becoming more and more like that old person. That's amazing, yet true. I'm getting to look like that person, think like that person, and talk like that person.
A good point for me to remember is that things don't always tell immediately, but they do show up sooner than we think. The little things, like attitudes, beliefs, commitments, ambitions, dedication and desire, are so unimportant now, but they all add up inside, where I can't see them, crystallizing in my mind and heart. One day, they will be hardened into that old person, and nothing will be able to soften or change them.
It's quite apparent to me that the time to take care of this old person is now — today, this week, this month, this year. I need to check on him carefully. I would be smart to work that person over while he still is plastic, still in a formative position. One day soon, it will be too late to make any changes. Hardness will set in, the character will have crystallized, and that will be the last chance for him and for me.
There is more to planning than just dollars and cents. For help you may ask questions in the comments or contact me privately here: Tim Barton Chartered Financial Consultant

CliQr launch could hold key to Google's future cloud service
Summary: Would you trust Google to run your internal enterprise apps?
CliQr Technologies today emerged from stealth mode with the announcement of a cloud based service that can port large enterprise applications to any cloud platform in under one day.
If the Palo Alto based startup can deliver on its promise it could result in significant IT cost savings. Enterprise applications are notoriously difficult to rewrite for cloud platforms and their performance can be unpredictable.
"With CliQr we can port an app in under one day," said Gaurav Manglik, co-founder and CEO. "You can also test run your application across different vendor platforms and choose the one with the best price/performance."
CliQr itself, is a cloud based service that ports the customer's apps and monitors their security and performance.
The cost savings for IT departments would also be matched with considerable time savings. It can take many months to port an enterprise application to cloud platforms. These are large business applications that are essential to every organization and ports could introduce new bugs.
CliQr also offers an additional advantage: it helps prevent lock-in when critical apps are tied to one host service. "Because you are using the same application you can move it easily around public cloud vendors," said Dave Cope, chief marketing officer.
Google Ventures, the venture capital arm of Google, is one of the investors. Although the technology is probably not useful for Google's internal apps, CliQr could possibly become part of a future service offered by Google to large enterprises.
Google already sells a suite of cloud-based productivity apps such as docs and email. The next step could be to expand that service to hosting customer apps in its datacenters. Google's data centers are finely tuned, with custom built equipment and software, to be highly efficient — far more efficient than most corporate datacenters, with their layers of legacy equipment and poor design.
Eric Schmidt, Chairman of Google, has said that a key goal for the company is to be able to host the IT needs of any business, in addition to handling all of its e-commerce, marketing, and advertising operations. Technologies such as those from CliQr are a crucial step in that direction.

Hand Wave as Suddenly Always Knew That, but has the additional benefit of the "Hey, I could do that!" for the audience. Moral Guardians often take this trope way too seriously, begetting the concept of Murder Simulators. However if it did work, you could learn medicine from Dr. Mario and cure people with nothing more than a high powered microscope and a bag of Skittles. Now as far as the controls, basic sense of tactics and (hopefully) physics are concerned, actual vehicle simulators can supplement real and semi-real (more hardware-based) training and experience. After all, that's where simulators came from to begin with. Also note the difference between video games designed to be fun, and simulator machines designed to accurately emulate a cockpit and be used in training. And of course, even if vehicle in question doesn't subject the pilot to G-forces that could cause a blackout, the difference is likely to make Falling into the Cockpit unsafe, if for no other reason than specific reflexes are still required to use the real controls fluently. See also Ascended Fanboy, Taught by Television, Falling into the Cockpit. When someone who knows what they're doing for real fails at a video game version, then it's I Don't Know Mortal Kombat. When someone tries to use fighting game moves in real life (and fails horribly), it can lead to What the Fu Are You Doing?. There's a lot of room for Product Placement with this trope.

Workshop: Successful Habit Change
- When: Thursday, January 23, 2014, 7 p.m.
- Where: Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital, Hood River
- Cost: $25
- Age limit: Not available
- Categories: Activities: Classes, Education, Community
The future may be hidden in your daily routine. Ninety percent of our behavior is based on habits. What we eat, whether we exercise, how we organize our day, our home and our finances — all have great impact on our health and our lives.
Providence Hood River Memorial Hospital invites the community to a workshop in habit change, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. in the hospital's boardroom.
Habits are understandable, and change is do-able. Attendees will learn ways to create successful change by learning how habits are formed. Habits have structure; they have building blocks. The more one recognizes the triggers and rewards that hold these routines in place, the better one can be prepared to change them.
It's been estimated that more has been learned about the brain in the last five years than in the previous 5,000 years. This class features how the brain works with habit change — what works and what doesn't.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Marmite (/ˈmɑrmaɪt/ MAR-myt) is the brand name for two similar food spreads: the original British version, since 2000 a Unilever product; and a modified version produced in New Zealand by Sanitarium Health Food Company and distributed in Australasia and the Pacific. Marmite is made from yeast extract, a by-product of beer brewing. Other similar products include the Australian Vegemite, the Swiss Cenovis and the German Vitam-R.
The British version of the product is a sticky, dark brown food paste with a distinctive, powerful flavour, which is extremely salty. This distinctive taste is reflected in the British company's marketing slogan: "Love it or hate it."
A version with a different flavour[1] has been manufactured in New Zealand since 1919. This is the only product sold as Marmite in Australasia and the Pacific, whereas elsewhere in the world the British version predominates.
The image on the front of the British jar shows a "marmite" (French: [maʁmit]), a French term for a large, covered earthenware or metal cooking pot.[2] British Marmite was originally supplied in earthenware pots, but since the 1920s has been sold in distinctive, bulbous[3] glass jars of approximately the same shape.[4] A thinner version in squeezable plastic jars was introduced in March 2006.
The product that was to become Marmite was invented in the late 19th century when German scientist Justus von Liebig discovered that brewer's yeast could be concentrated, bottled and eaten.[5][6] In 1902 the Marmite Food Extract Company was formed in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, England by the Gilmour family, with Marmite as its main product and Burton as the site of the first factory. The product took its name from the "marmite" (French: [maʁmit]), a French term for a large, covered earthenware or metal cooking pot.[2] The labels of the UK product still carry the image of a marmite. The by-product yeast needed for the paste was supplied by Bass Brewery. By 1907, the product had become successful enough to warrant construction of a second factory at Camberwell Green in London.[7]
The product's popularity prompted the Sanitarium Health Food Company to obtain sole rights to distribute the product in New Zealand and Australia in 1908.[8] They later began manufacturing Marmite under licence in Christchurch, albeit using a modified version of the original recipe, most notable for its inclusion of sugar and caramel.[1] Common ingredients are also slightly different quantities from the British version;[1] the New Zealand version has high levels of potassium, for example. New Zealand Marmite is described as having a "weaker" or "less tangy" flavour than the British version.[1] It is distributed throughout Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands.
During World War I British troops were issued with Marmite as part of their rations.[5] Marmite was used to treat malnutrition in Suriya-Mal workers during the 1934–5 malaria epidemic in Sri Lanka.[9] Housewives were encouraged to spread Marmite thinly and to "use it sparingly just now" because of limited rations of the product.
In 1990, Marmite Limited – which had become a subsidiary of Bovril Limited – was bought by CPC International Inc, which changed its name to Best Foods Inc in 1998. Best Foods Inc subsequently merged with Unilever in 2000, and Marmite is now a trademark owned by Unilever.[10]
There are a number of similar yeast products available in other countries, which are not directly connected to the original Marmite recipe and brand. The most well known in English-speaking countries[citation needed] is the Australian product Vegemite which is also distributed in many countries and AussieMite which is sold in the UK through Waitrose stores. Other products are Cenovis, a Swiss spread and since 1913, Vegex, a similar autolyzed yeast product has been available in the USA. It is sold by CEA, a not-for-profit organisation.[11]
Initially, Marmite was popular with vegetarians as a meat-free alternative to beef extract products such as Bovril, which were popular in the late 19th and early 20th century.[citation needed]
Marmite is traditionally eaten as a savoury spread on bread, toast, savoury biscuits or crackers, and other similar baked products. Owing to its concentrated taste it is usually spread thinly with butter or margarine.[12] Marmite can also be made into a savoury hot drink by adding one teaspoon to a mug of hot water much like Bovril.
Marmite is paired with cheese, such as in a cheese sandwich, and has been used as an additional flavouring in Mini Cheddars, a cheese-flavoured biscuit snack. Similarly, it has been used by Walkers Crisps for a special-edition flavour; is sold as a flavouring on rice cakes; and Marmite Biscuits. Starbucks in the UK has a cheese and Marmite Panini on their menu.[13]
In New Zealand, Sanitarium, the NZ Marmite company, recommends spreading it on bread with potato crisps added to make a "Marmite and Chippie" sandwich.[14] In Singapore and Malaysia, Marmite is popularly added to plain rice congee to give it a strong, salty flavour. In Malaysia, Marmite has been used for cooking with chicken, prawns or crab.
In 2003, the Absolute Press published Paul Hartley's The Marmite Cookbook, containing recipes and suggestions on how to blend Marmite with other foodstuffs. In August 2006, as part of the launch of squeezy Marmite, celebrity chef Gary Rhodes created a dessert consisting of coffee ice cream topped with chocolate sauce with a dash of Marmite.[15]
While the process is secret, the general method for making yeast extract on a commercial scale is to add salt to a suspension of yeast, making the solution hypertonic, which leads to the cells shrivelling up; this triggers "autolysis", in which the yeast self-destructs. The dying yeast cells are then heated to complete their breakdown, and since yeast cells have thick hull walls which would detract from the smoothness of the end product, the husks are sieved out. As with other yeast extracts, Marmite contains free glutamic acids, which are analogous to monosodium glutamate.
Today, the main ingredients of Marmite manufactured in the UK are glutamic acid-rich yeast extract, with lesser quantities of sodium chloride, vegetable extract, niacin, thiamine, spice extracts, riboflavin, folic acid and celery extracts, although the precise composition is a trade secret.[16] By 1912, the discovery of vitamins was a boost for Marmite, as the spread is a rich source of the vitamin B complex; vitamin B12 is not naturally found in yeast extract, but is added to Marmite during manufacture. With the vitamin B1 deficiency beri-beri being common during the First World War, the spread became more popular.[17]
In the 1930s, Marmite was used by the English scientist Lucy Wills to identify folic acid and its effect in suppressing anaemia.[18] Besides folic acid Marmite has useful quantities of several other vitamins, even in small servings. The sodium content of the spread is high and has caused concern, although it is the amount per serving rather than the percentage in bulk Marmite that is relevant. The main ingredient of Marmite is yeast extract, which contains a high concentration of glutamic acid. Marmite made in the United Kingdom and exported to several countries is believed to be gluten free[by whom?]. However, Unilever will not confirm that it contains less than 20 PPM of gluten, the current European standard and the proposed U.S. FDA standard for gluten-free labelling.
Marmite today is fortified with added vitamins, resulting in it being banned in Denmark which disallows foodstuffs that have been fortified.[19]

Marmite's publicity campaigns initially emphasised the spread's healthy nature, extolling it as "The growing up spread you never grow out of." The first major Marmite advertising campaign began in the 1930s, with characters whose faces incorporated the word 'good'. Soon afterwards, the rising awareness of vitamins was used in Marmite advertising, with slogans proclaiming that "A small quantity added to the daily diet will ensure you and your family are taking sufficient vitamin B to keep nerves, brain, and digestion in proper working order."
During the 1980s, the spread was advertised with the slogan "My mate, Marmite", chanted in television commercials by an army platoon. The spread had been a standard vitamin supplement for British-based German POWs during the Second World War.
By the 1990s Marmite's distinctive and powerful flavour had earned it as many detractors as it had fans, and it was known for producing a polarised "love/hate" reaction amongst consumers. Marmite launched a "Love it or Hate it" campaign in October 1996, and this resulted in the coining of the phrase "Marmite effect" or "Marmite reaction" for anything which provoked strong and polarised feelings.[23] On 22 April 2010, Unilever threatened legal action against the British National Party for using a jar of Marmite and the "love it or hate it" slogan in their television adverts.[24]
As Sanitarium has the exclusive right to the Marmite name in Australasia, Unilever International sells the British Marmite as Our Mate in Australia and New Zealand through local distributors. However, the reverse is not true – New Zealand Marmite can be sold in the UK and Ireland as "Marmite".
In Denmark, food safety legislation dictates that foodstuffs which contain added vitamins can only be sold by retailers which have been licensed by the Veterinary and Food Administration.[25] In May 2011, the company which imports the product to Denmark revealed that it wasn't licensed and had therefore stopped selling the product: this led to widespread but inaccurate reports in the British media that Marmite had been banned by the Danish authorities.[26][27][28]
In the Netherlands Marmite 125g jar and 200g Squeeze jar are available through major Dutch retailers like Albert Heijn, Jumbo and Plus.
In November 2011, Sanitarium shut down the sole production line of New Zealand Marmite at its Christchurch factory after a cooling tower at the factory was deemed unsafe, having cracked in the 22 February 2011 Christchurch earthquake and its aftershocks. On 19 March 2012, the company announced that its own stocks of Marmite had run out and the production line was not expected to be running again until July. Some supermarkets reported at the time they had already run out of stock, and there was only a few weeks of stock left in their distribution centres, leading to the dubbing of Marmite as "black gold" and the crisis as "Marmageddon".[29][30][31]
Immediately after the announcement, there was reported panic buying of Marmite from supermarkets,[32] and over one hundred auctions for jars of Marmite, new and used, were listed on online auction site TradeMe, with some sellers asking for up to NZ$800 per jar; over 185 times its usual retail price of around $4.25 per 250g jar[33][34] People were advised to use the spread sparingly, with even Prime Minister John Key admitting he may have to switch to Australian rival Vegemite once his personal supplies run out.[35] Throughout the shortage Marmite ran a number of marketing campaigns on social media which led to a 2,975% increase in Fans and a lot of brand exposure.[36]
In June 2012, it was announced that additional structural damage had been uncovered at the factory, and the proposed July return to production was rescheduled to October.[37] Problems with an unfinished lift at the factory delayed production into 2013.[38]
Sanitarium announced in February 2013 that production had restarted and the factory was in the process of building up stock ready for the return. Marmite returned to New Zealand retailers effective midnight on 20 March 2013, although only the 250g jar size was initially available and many supermarkets imposed a limit of two jars per customer per day to promote fairness and prevent bulk buying. The return to overseas retailers is on now that the New Zealand supply and demand has settled.[39][40]
In 2002 a 100th anniversary jar was released.
In February 2007 Marmite produced a limited edition Guinness Marmite of 300,000 250g jars of their yeast extract with 30% Guinness yeast, giving it a noticeable hint of "Guinness" flavour. In January 2008 Champagne Marmite was released for Valentine's Day,[41] with a limited-edition run of 600,000 units initially released exclusively to Selfridges of London. The product had 0.3% champagne added to the recipe, and a modified heart-shaped label with "I love you" in place of the logo. In 2009, a limited edition Marston's Pedigree Marmite was launched to celebrate the 2009 Ashes series.
In November 2008, the NZ version of Marmite was rebranded as 'Mo-mite' in support of Movember, the annual moustache-growing charity event.[42]
In 2009, a limited edition Marston's Pedigree Marmite was launched to celebrate the 2009 Ashes Cricket test series.[43]
In April 2012 a special edition jar in commemoration of the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II was released. With the product renamed "Ma'amite," the redesigned label featured a colour scheme based upon the Union Flag; the marmite and spoon logo replaced by a gold crown, and with a red rather than yellow cap.[44] The front label also declares "Made with 100% British Yeast". Coinciding with the 110th anniversary of the brand, production was limited to 300,000 jars.[45] For Christmas 2012 a gold limited edition was launched, containing edible gold-coloured flecks.
Historically the product was available in 2, 4, 8 and 16 oz jars.

We used these in our family for over a year. At first I really liked them, noticed more energy and improved health, but over time we developed skin rashes. My kids had rashed on their arms at the inside crease of their elbows. I had itchy skin on my arms and head. For the longest time I was unable to figure out what was happening. I thought it was an allergy to gluten. but even going gluten free did not make the rash go away completely. It would come and go for no apparent reason. Finally I took us all off of these Alive vitamins and the rash went away completely and has never come back. I tried myself to go back on them about a year later since I missed the increased energy, but immediately my itchy skin came back so I had to stop taking them again. I am not sure why. I found on my second try of taking them the itchy skin was worse when I spent a lot of time in the sun (I even thought I might be allergic to the sun), but when I quit taking them the irritation disapeared completely, even with a lot of sun exposure. Could it be the vitamin D in the supplement? My family spends lots of time out of doors, so the vitamin D theory could be it. Too bad! These vitamins have a lot to offer.

Celebrating America, Revisiting Empire: Total War
By EquitasInvictus 4 Comments
The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it's natural manure. - Thomas Jefferson
What better a way to celebrate Independence Day than lead a young United States to victory in Empire: Total War? Loading the game up for the first time in a while, I chose to play as the United States in a Grand Campaign of Empire: Total War, which can be unlocked at the end of Episode III in the Road to Independence campaign line.
Post-Independence United States' Grand Campaign
In the United States' campaign at the conclusion of the Road to Independence, you start out as a young United States. Off the bat, you're at war with the Barbary States, an accurate reflection of history (the U.S. actually fought the Berber states at the start of the 19th Century due to their piracy of U.S. vessels.) By the way -- historically, the United States won the First Barbary War after a successful blockade, several of naval victories, and the landing of the United States' first marines in the shores of Tripoli, where the United States flag was raised in victory for the first time over foreign soil. (If you'd like to read more, click here to read about the First Barbary War in Wikipedia).
In my alternate history of the Barbary Wars, a small force led by veteran American Revolutionary War General Nathanael Greene embarked on the USS Constitution for Algeria, the location of one of the two Barbary States' centers in Africa.
My strategy was to completely eliminate the Berbers with surgical strikes on their region capitals (in Algiers and Tripoli) with Nathanael Greene's strike force. Although outnumbered, the experience of Nathanael Greene and his forces as well as their longer ranged weaponry gave them an edge.
Choosing to fight out the battle as my first tactical-level experience in Empire: Total War for a long time, I remembered how fun it was to control lines of troops and cavalry in battle.
Algiers was not well defended, and Natahnael Greene defeated the army of its commander, Barbur Akil.
Wait, why am I playing this, again? (The Drawback of E:TW)
Playing through the Grand Campaign turn-by-turn, I realized what deterred me from Empire: Total War when I first played it years ago -- the excruciatingly slow loading times between turns. I figure this had something to with how the major/minor AI nation code was written for the Grand Campaigns, which were extremely large in scale considering they included not only Europe, but also the Americas and India. Even with a competent Intel i5 CPU, the times between my turns waiting for the AI nations to complete theirs was kind of hard to sit through. This is probably why I barely examined Empire: Total War after exhausting it for the first time after its release.
Pressing on past Painfully Slow Turns... the Conclusion of the Barbary Wars
From Nathanael Greene's success at Algeria, I decided to finish the fight and take the fight to the Berber's last bastion at Tripoli. That got kind of gnarly, since it required a frontal assault on a walled fortification. In the end, the U.S. infantry, with their superior experience and equipment, managed to successfully scale the walls, defeat the Berber infantry defending them, and open the gates for a cavalry charge. Nathanael Greene died heroically leading the charge, however. Eventually, the enemy commander's cavalry was forced to the fight, but by then I had already positioned riflemen to pick them off.
Eventually, the remaining United States forces lived up to history and planted their flag on foreign soil for the first time of this United States' now not-so-alternate history, eliminating the Barbary States. (In actual history, however, that wasn't the last time the Berbers were a problem.)
Some Post-War Diplomacy Tips for Total War players out there!
As a young, protestant United States, there's no way in hell you can expect to hold the formerly Barber regions in Africa. In general, for any nation, it is difficult to hold regions an ocean away from your capital (*cough* Pre-Revolutionary War Great Britain *cough*), so learning from the mistakes of our predecessors, the African regions were given away for trade agreements with other European nations.
And so my young United States, enjoying newly found trade through selling its spoils of war, unwittingly started the Scramble for Africa almost a century too early...
The End... or is it?!
Coming out of winning the Barbary Wars, I felt invigorated to declare war against the Iroquois Confederacy. Unfortunately, I was not invigorated to sit through any more of the slow turns of Empire: Total War's Grand Campaign for today.
Should Empire: Total War be Revisited?
Honestly, as amazing of a total war game Empire was when it was released, I feel like Napoleon: Total War worked out the kinks with regards to the slow campaign turn load times I experienced with Empire. Although that could be attributed to the smaller scale (the campaign map incorporated only Europe for Napoleon), I also think the campaigns in Napoleon cover a more exciting, turbulent time in history, leading to a superior campaign experience with frantic war and diplomacy.
I did have fun revisiting Empire: Total War as a young United States; however much I would recommend Napoleon, Napoleon lacks the American experience Empire offers.
Perhaps one day I'll have a far superior CPU and will be able to play a much faster paced American campaign and actually conquer Western Civilization with the United States! For now, I might just have to revisit Crusader Kings II.

Blown Transformer Blamed for waking residents near Walmart - But firsthand reports conflict
At about 3:30 am a loud noise was heard that sounded like a loud gunshot. Several minutes later it was followed by a second, but lessor, explosive sound.
Soon the emergency scanners put locals at rest. Many had been awakened by the sound and became alerted for prowlers as the were unable to identify the sounds that woke them from a sleep.
Many from as far away as the Intersection of Lindbergh and Motherlode heard the noise and soon went to a popular Facebook website called, "El Dorado County Watch" to check for neighborhood alerts.
It was here that scanner traffic and firsthand reports first became known.
Katie. "At first I thought it was some one braking in! Then went out to check not out then Heard another one!"
Darcy H. was the first to ID the sound, "Blown transformer. Possible grass fire, responders are on their way" she wrote.
She added, "Their confirming with all engines, power lines down @3:33am. I might not have power in a minute."
Janet G. reported hearing it from, "Near Lindbergh and Motherlode" and Darcy H. heard it from, "down Forni near weber creek bridge btwn Herbert Green and In & out."
About 40 minutes after Lisa K. confirmed that,T"he sheriff said blown transformer with small grass fire near Walmart. I smell the smoke."
Leah F. added, "That was a pretty huge explosion to hear it all the way over here on Missouri Flat by Green Valley church."
Darcy H. "It was louder than any firework or gun shot.....I went out and looked up because I recall how loud it was when the transformers blew up in the Northridge Earthquake. I was visiting there and it woke us up at a similar hour. Very scary."
But the information became less clear as events, and reports continued to unfold.
Stacie H. "But on scanner just now heard them ask units if they needed PGE and they said no did not seem to be power lines?"
Robin K. "The sheriff told us that this was the third location tonight. Not aware of any transformer. Huge explosion with immediate fire." At 4:30 am She added, "We were told one near Safeway, one at Wal-Mart and not sure of the other. I live near Wal-Mart. Heard the explosion saw the fire out my window and called 911. Went our and spoke with sheriff again and they said they have not confirmed what caused of the explosion but Forni is now blocked off and they are turning cars around."
Katie L. "My husband put out the fire with an extinguisher before the fire department or sheriffs could even get here. No injuries. There wasn't any transformers on this corner to explode.......it sounded like a gunshot. I have no clue what started the fire."
NOTE: Every report above is first hand, but unconfirmed! We will report when investigators release an official statement.

INDIANAPOLIS – When coach Chuck Pagano arrived home after Saturday's playoff victory, he tried to settle down.
Instead, he settled in for the reality that the Colts aren't finished yet.
You're able to go home and sit on the couch, turn the TV on and find out that it did happen. It is real. It wasn't surreal, Pagano said Sunday, less than 24 hours after his team pulled off the second-greatest comeback in playoff history.
Those guys, our players, they lay it on the line week in and week out. They truly left nothing, nothing, out there.
The shocking turnaround, from a 38-10 second-half deficit to 45-44 victory over the Chiefs, left Indianapolis spent physically and mentally, linebacker Jerrell Freeman said.
And it has Indianapolis (12-5) playing at New England next weekend in the divisional round.
Those are the results of this monumental victory.
But a rare non-game day Sunday also gave the Colts a brief chance to reflect on what had been accomplished.
They won their first postseason game without Peyton Manning since January 1996.
They won their first postseason game without Manning or Jim Harbaugh behind center since John Unitas was the starter in 1971.
They became the first NFL team in playoff history to win despite giving up 40 points and losing four turnovers.
And they did it all with Andrew Luck leading the way on a less than stellar day.
How? By following Pagano's long-standing mantra of playing hard until the final whistle and never losing faith in their aptly named quarterback.
Hey, he does it all. As long as we continue to get the ball to him, we know some kind of way he's going to put points on the board, that offense is going to get rolling, Freeman said, referring to Luck.
(Offensive coordinator) Pep (Hamilton) has a lot of different schemes. I'm sure y'all see it, they can do it in the passing game and the run game. It's great to have a quarterback like that.
It's not just Luck, though.
These Colts thrive on debunking conventional wisdom.
When they started the rebuilding process after the 2011 season with a first-time general manager, a first-time head coach, a rookie quarterback and no Manning, they were considered one of the worst teams in football. They wound up winning 11 games and making the playoffs even with Pagano missing 12 games to battle leukemia.
Last summer, when some said Indy would regress against a tougher schedule, the Colts still won 11 and captured their first AFC South title without Manning.
And on Saturday, after trailing by 28 with 28 1/2 minutes remaining and everybody else giving up on them, the Colts still believed.
NFL sacks champ Robert Mathis walked to the bench and slammed his helmet, then stewed stoically on the bench waiting for his next chance as Luck took the field one more time.
Saturday marked the 11th time he led the Colts to a winning score in the fourth quarter or overtime over the past two seasons – more than any other NFL quarterback.
And after Saturday, even the outsiders are beginning to wonder if there's anything Luck can't do.
Pagano and his players already know the answer.
I don't know what level it is, but he sure went to another one (Saturday), Pagano said. He's a guy that is able to put things behind him in a hurry.
I've seen a lot of guys on either side of the ball have some poor plays here and there whether it's a quarterback and you throw three interceptions, you come right out of the half and you're gunned up and ready to go play good football and boom, you start the second half the way we started the second half. The guy is just strong-minded that way.
Note: Pagano said he had no updates on the three players who left Saturday's game early. Cornerback Greg Toler reinjured his groin in the first half, safety LaRon Landry left in the fourth with a concussion and receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey left during the second half with a leg injury. Pagano said Toler and Heyward-Bey were being evaluated and Landry would have to go through the concussion protocol.
