Prevents acne
7 people found the following review helpful
Posted by Reviewer1053246 on May 15, 2008

I started taking Lactoferrin over a year ago. In the past year, I have only had a blemish when I run out of Lactoferrin for more than a week. The Life Extension brand is the best one I've tried for preventing acne. Lactoferrin prevents the bacteria on your skin from feeding on iron, thus preventing blemishes. Prior to this discovery, I had battled with acne for years and the only thing that had helped was antibiotics. I take one pill every other night before bed since it makes me sleepy. I take it every other night to prevent anemia and because the bottles are so expensive.

I use lactoferring to bind iron in blood serum. Apolactoferrin is the recommended type of lactoferrin and your's is the only brand that is that type.

The service was terrific! I am actually giving this to our dog who was diagnosed with a torn ACL. Surgery was suggested, but we were told about this product in conjunction with Xtreme Joint by some friends whose dog had the same issue. I am happy to say that Bogiee, our Bichon, is doing great! He is playful, running (although we try to keep this to a bare minimum) and limps only occasionally. Before, when we tried to take him for a walk he couldn't make it past our next door neighbors' house! I am totally sold on this product!
Great A

This is the only form of "apo"lactoferrin on the market.. All the published medical articles verifying the immune benefits of lactoferrin use "apo" version. It's a little more $, but well worth it!

I've been using this product on and off for the past 3yrs now. Before I found this product I've been suffering from cystic acne for a very long time. I went on prescription drugs and even took accutane to help my condition. But nothing really helped. I then decided to go the natural route. Even on natural route nothing helped as much as this pill. I started 1/day until I arrive at 3caps/3x daily. For 2months I was on that dosage and wow! Within a month my cystic acne cleared up. Even during that time of the month I don't get cystic acne anymore. After 2months I started lessening my dosage. I'm now at 1caps/3x daily a week before my period and during my period. I also take Vit. C and 2L of water a day. I know Life Extension brand is expensive but with all the Lactoferrin I've tried nothing beats the effectiveness of this brand and this type of lactoferrin.

Just moved back in the 'Cuse after living in Jersey for about 8 years. People that really know me would say Im probably one of the most trustworthy reliable person they know and im not jus sayin that, thats just me. Im really laid back and get along with anybody. I'm 100% Italian - I was brought up somewhat old fashioned with a loving mother and an older sister which allowed me to have a very good idea on how to treat a woman. I'm not perfect but I strive to better myself on a daily basis. Enough of this description stuff, lets talk if you really want to get to know me :)Sweet, down to earth woman would do. I don't ask for much.

Hinamatsuri in Japan which is a day for girls, and this year it meant extra special to me because it's my daughter's first Hinamatsuri. :D
I made these Hinamatsuri dolls for Lana to wish that she becomes a beautiful young lady and has a lot of happiness in her life.
And of course, some Japanese sweets to go with the occasion. I made my take on Ichigo Daifuku. Instead of putting Azuki I put matcha cream in side and put a strawberry on the top (which is much easier than trying to put it in the middle). It's kind of a mix of Japanese and Western. (Oh! that's just like Lana!)
Lana is too young to have the mochi so that is going in mama's belly but she will have the strawberry. ;)

A federal appeals panel has ruled that Fremont's ordinance that discourages hiring or renting to people who aren't in the country legally is valid, opening the door for the eastern Nebraska city to begin enforcing its law.
In 2010, Fremont voters easily approved the measure, which banned hiring or renting to people who couldn't prove they were in the country legally. The ordinance also required businesses to use federal E-verify software to check on potential employees.
Last year, U.S. District Judge Laurie Smith Camp ruled parts of the 2010 ordinance that would deny housing permits were discriminatory and interferes with federal law.
On Friday, two judges of a three-member panel of the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected that reasoning, reversed the ruling and vacated the lower court's injunction.

Jesse Redniss, David Beck, and Gary Vaynerchuk Form BRaVe Ventures
So that's where social TV leaders Jesse Redniss and David Beck went.
Redniss and Beck, along with social marketing guru Gary Vaynerchuk have formed BRaVe Ventures, which will advise top TV networks, digital agencies, and social TV companies. At launch, the company already counts as clients one of the major broadcast TV networks, Mashwork/Canvs.TV, Watchwith, Spredfast, Clasp.TV, ListenFirst Media, Contend Co., Vayner Media and GLOW.
"Part of the problem today is the vast amount of choice when it comes to how to develop and execute on a new technology-driven program," Redniss tells Lost Remote. "We've watched companies spend large amounts of money and countless hours on technologies that didn't work or on social programs that didn't engage fans. We have the expertise to eliminate waste in order to determine the best solution to help our clients develop targeted programs based on specific business objectives from the start." Read more

Pizza Delivey in SoLo
I've been a resident of the South Loop for over two years, but haven't been able to find a reliable pizza delivery. Of course, Connies delivers here, but it's quite expensive. Also, Ricobenes (ehh....) and Bacci (okay pie, horrible delivery service) deliver to the area, but they do not cut it.
Any recommendations?
I like Pat's (638 S. Clark) but only if you ask for light cheese, extra sauce and well done, which is the way I like my pizza anyways. Also Pizano's (61 E Madison) has a good pie, some people don't like the butter crust but I do. It's really thin and crispy. I believe Pizano's is owned by the Lou Malanti family or has some relation.
and please refrain from calling the South Loop SoLo...We are not , nor do we want to be, New York;)
we enjoy both these places when ordering in dinner at work. we got so burned out on giordiano's, had to add some other places.
pat's is good thin crust, and pizano's has more of a butter/corn crust.
I don't know if Damenzo's delivers, but you might ask. This "Do the Right Thing" joint is at Taylor almost to Western and serves a huge slice. A thick, bready crust, but real flavor to the pie. The estimable Rene G, one of the all-time great (andnow erstwhile) 'hounds, once rated Damenzo's meatball sandwich as among the top twenty sandwiches in Chicago.
Good luck.

They deliver to the South Loop and up to 800 north! If you're a thin crust pizza fan this place is the one!
I grew up with this great thin pizza. Give it a try. I'm not sure how this location in the Holiday Inn is compared to the original southside locations.
I'd go along with Aurelio's as a pretty good (but not as good as the original Homewood location) thin crust and Pizano's for Chicago-style deep dish. I'm fairly certain Gino's East will also deliver if not directly, then via CEODeliveries (a phone/on-line multi-restaurant delivery service). The downside to CEODeliveries is the add-on appx $4.50 charge.
The beauty of living near south (or South Loop or SoLo...I think if you live there you can call it whatever you like) is the ability to jump in your car and go pick-up an Uno/Due (or whatever your preference) in mere minutes. That's assuming a partner to stay with the car for two minutes while you run in.
re: kmmccorm
Do you mean the D'Agostino's on Addison Street at Southport? Decent thin crust pizza. The rest of the menu is totally disgusting...what happen here?
First off, I regret calling it SoLo. I had just finished browsing through the junk mail in our building looking for a pizza delivery menu and saw it on a number of condo buildings. I was unsure about it at first, and after a few days of meditation, think it's annoying. So, I apologize to one and all that had to read the horrible abbreviation of the South Loop.
Now, thank you all for your input. I don't think D'Agostino's delivers that far south. I'm ordering Aurelio's online right now.
Went online to get Aurelio's number and discovered you can order online. Big plus in my book - so I ordered a medium sausage on "Award Winning Crust" and headed into traffic to accept delivery.
90 minutes and one phone call to Aurelio's later, my pizza arrived....cold. Well, not cold, but room temperature. I was shocked upon my first taste....this pizza is terrible! I'm doing the "sick face" as I type this - I'm still disgusted. The sauce is almost flavorless and the cheese has way too much cheddar in it. There were 11 pieces of sausage on my pizza - 11! The crust was just okay, so I guess the award it won was "Least Excitable", or something.
I had three pieces and threw the rest where garbage belongs - in the dumpster.
I've never been more disappointed in a pizza before. I called to report the above to Aurelio's and the manager couldn't care less. Horrible.
Up next: Pat's.
re: Walrus
Sorry, I would've warned you if I saw this post. Aurelio's is rubbish. The sauce is sickly sweet. To me, bad sauce is deal breaker. Anyway, you should post up your thoughts on Tomato Head - I live in Printers Row and I am looking for something besides Giordano's for pizza. I am cuirous to hear your thoughts on it.
re: RottenTanx
I *loved* Tomato Head! The crust had very nice chew to it - delicious. We had a grilled veggie pie and it was delivered quickly (within 45 minutes on a Friday) and was piping hot!
Your next pie should definitely be from Tomato Head. In fact, I think I'll grab one tonight.
Order online:
re: augustus gloob
to give credit Walrus did apologize for his SoLo comment/mistake:)
Now on to better pizza!
We had the same problem when we moved to the South Loop last year. We almost always order from Tomato Head Pizza in the West Loop (they also have a location in Lincoln Park). I think they do a pretty good thin crust and I can always get delivery - even on weekends - within an hour. Try the grilled veggie pizza. They use really fresh vegetables, rather than the canned stuff that other places use.
You can even order directly off the Web site, which is what we usually do - http://tomatoheadpizza.com
Still looking for a good New York style pizza down here. Let me know if you find one.
re: Captain Easychord
Yeah...thanks for the suggestion. I always pass by tomato head but have never ordered from them. I'll give em a try next time.
God I LOVE pizza!!!!!!!
Thanks, Cap!
I'm totally down with a grilled veggie pizza. I'll be out of town for a couple days, so a good pizza when I return will hit the spot.
I think Pat's (on S. Clark St.) thin crust is one of the top 10 in Chicago. They are so close, we usually just order for pickup, but they do deliver. BTW, when you are calling mention the $3 off coupon when ordering a large pizza, then tear the coupon off one of the takeout menus sitting on the counter when you go to pick it up. We do it all the time, nobody has a problem with it.
Had a Pat's medium sausage last night and was very impressed! Absolutely fell in love with it. The crust had character and great texture, a bit chewy with great flavor. The sauce is good and the sausage tasted great. Overall, a great pie.
I'm going to try Tomatohead this weekend, then probably not eat pizza for another six months! Ha!
Thanks for all the help!

MONTREAL (AP) -- The United States enjoyed a near-perfect start
to the Presidents Cup winning five of the six alternate-shot
matches on day one.
Steve Stricker and rookie Hunter Mahan (MAY'-han) began the day
at Royal Montreal with a 3-and-2 victory over the Australian duo of
Adam Scott and Geoff Ogilvy.
Tiger Woods and Charles Howell the 3rd closed it out with a
3-and-1 decision over K.J. Choi and Nick O'Hern.
The International team got its only point when Americans Woody
Austin and Phil Mickelson conceded a short par putt on the 18th
hole to Mike Weir and Vijay Singh (sing).
So with six matches in the books, the Americans lead the
International team 5 and a-half to one half.

I've been fighting with my insurance company to pay a medical bill, and they ultimately refused to pay the entire claim. As I was slugging it out with the Insurance b*st*rds, the Doctor sent my unpaid balance to a CA, who just sent me a dunning letter... in which they've tacked on 15% interest to the final total.
Can they do this?
I'm sending a DV letter to buy some time to get the money together, now that I now that my Insurance Rapists won't couogh up the money (and I work at an insurance company, so you would thnk the plan would be quality, it's not).
Are there regulations under HIPAA that can help me with this?
When a CA send a dunning letter or starts reporting a Bal more then what you owe,It is usually the CA that does that not the Dr.
I would call the Dr and not say a word about the CA.....ask for the amount that you owe....mail that amount using the restrictive endoresment.
Wait unril it is cashed before doing anything. Then start the HIPAA process.
You should not send a DV or have any contact with the CA.
You can contact your state and ask if a CA can do this on a medical bal.

I guess no Church in center, kind of risky to let Beltran play.
Mets Lineup:
SS Jose Reyes
LF Nick Evans
3B David Wright
CF Carlos Beltran
1B Carlos Delgado
RF Fernando Tatis
2B Damion Easley
C Robinson Cancel
P Jon Niese
Brewers Lineup:
2B Ricky Weeks
SS J.J. Hardy
LF Ryan Braun
1B Prince Fielder
RF Corey Hart
CF Mike Cameron
3B Bill Hall
C Jason Kendall
P Manny Parra
Pitching Matchup:
LHP Jon Niese(0-0), 0.00 ERA, 0 Ks
LHP Manny Parra(10-6), 4.00 ERA, 127 Ks
Game Notes:
This will be Jon Nieses first career major league start.
Parra faced the Mets earlier this year and lost the game. He only went 4 innings and had a 6.75 ERA.
Nieses signature pitch is his 12-6 curve ball. His combined number this season are 11-8 with a 3.13 ERA. Combined stats are between AA Binghampton and AAA New Orleans.
I guess no Church in center, kind of risky to let Beltran play.
If Beltran is healthy enough to play, then that's fine with me. I just hope it's not one of those cases where he harms the team in the process, because he's only 78% instead of 100%
Looks like I'm going to get an early night of sleep.
First batter homer for Niese...
This games ovaaaa
1 more jon, 2 outs. get it done.
Obviously has a few jitters, but his curve ball is nasty(in fact, he has 2 different curve balls). I thought he sat around 91-93, its more like 89-92.
C'mon Niese!
wow, good job jon. showed me something.
30 pitches, 15 strikes lol.
Nice to see he fought out of the jam with some K's and limited the damage
Leadoff walk.
Get some runs for Niese..
Tatis magic please..
Tatis magic.
AVG up to .296 and climbing for Tatis..
good job Big E.

Mutek: Peak Time, Picnic Time
If you had a festival pass and a reasonable sense of humor, British duo Quiet Village's "show" on Saturday night was good comedy. For 20 minutes we waited in line to get into Metropolis' smaller subvenue Savoy to see one of the Quiet Village's first shows this side of the ocean. At a quarter past midnight, the room opened its doors, and we were surprised to hear as "filler"/pre-show music a track off QV's just-born debut, Silent Movie, a wide, true-school Balearic grin of self-aware disco-funk cheese that is oh so awesome; you should run, not walk, and buy it now. Consider it the leopard-print babymaking–yes, even more so–companion piece to Hercules and Love Affair's debut.
On the screen was a kind of psychedelic/pornographic collage film. The room filled quickly, and the minutes continued to pass. A friend remarked, "Isn't it strange that they're playing the album before the show?" It took partway through the next track and a few silent minutes of watching the movie projection to understand that we were, in fact, watching the show. We were getting our "silent movie." You had to feel kind of bad for the couple waiting in line with $41 tickets for just this one show of the night, but, really, no matter what kind of a fan you are of electronic music, you gotta admit that most of the time a "live" set is one or two white men in front of laptops mousing and tapping the space bar. We'll assume it was an intended comment. So we did what most anyone would do at a sleazy '70s cocktail party–"I feel like we should be putting keys in a hat," observed another friend–and mingled, while taking note of the porn collage turning into a slow-motion playback of The Cube, that Jennifer Lopez Hellraiser-lite drug trip.
The night changed right quick afterward with the Field getting, oddly, into updated if throwback arena electronica in the next room, performing as a three-piece band instead of awkward Axel Willner with a laptop. This lineup performed epic, vaguely New Age–you were waiting for wind effects to kick in–pieces instead of the pop-friendly minimal techno everybody fell in love with last year. Lasers started shooting from the ceiling like a rave-fashioned rainstorm, and I ducked out to find an ATM.
Instead, I found out that a large percentage of the ATM machines in downtown Montreal don't take Visa cards and wandered around through a circus swarm of Canadian post-clubbing college-tards. It was to the extent where you had to walk down the middle of the street to get anywhere. And walking down the street to avoid Canadian college-tards is apparently OK, as a police officer politely asked us, in French, "Would you like to walk down the street?" Though I've misunderstood before, and he may have said, "Walk down the street and I'll shoot."
By the time we got back to the club–3 in the morning? 4?–it was full -on peak time, rave-up megatechno party, and the undrugged of us were quickly singled out and led out the door by our better sense and growling stomachs.
One last dance:
Every Sunday the city of Montreal hosts an afternoon rave on an island in the St. Lawrence River, Picnic Electronik (photo). You will not see white people with these kinds of dancing skills this side of the Atlantic, anywhere. This included at least three senior citizens with more moves than we deployed all week in the space of Turkish DJ Onur Ozer's all-vinyl boompity house set.

A sunken secret. A missing woman. A race against time.
Former SAS major Ben Hope is relaxing at his home in Normandy when he hears the worst news of his life. His ex-girlfriend Dr Brooke Marcel has been kidnapped. Racing against the clock, Ben's frantic search for Brooke leads him from Ireland to the Spanish mountains and the rainforests of Peru.
What is the mysterious link between the kidnapping, the salvage of a sunken 16th-century Spanish warship, and the secret activities of its wealthy discoverer? As the trail of wreckage and mayhem intensifies, Ben soon uncovers a web of intrigue, corruption, and brutal murder. But will he be too late to find Brooke alive?

There are no listener reviews for this title yet.
I would recommend this book because it's a good story if you want to list to something not too taxing, and it's skips along at a decent pace most of the time - the hero is also flawed enough to be believable.
A good easy read, plot works well enough, the characters are clear cut and mostly believable.
Narration good apart from a problem with accents. I like Jack Hawkins but he cannot do Spanish (the Peruvian speaks with a French accent) and he has a limited number of 'voices' to cover all the characters.

You may recall that last year our friend Pietro brought some of his horses to graze on our land at Tre Cancelle, to help keep the grass short in the olive groves. Pietro has about 12 horses in all and has a small farm surrounded by the Aurunci mountains where he also keeps a herd of goats, some chickens and sometimes a pig.
We have taken to visiting him often as we are keen to learn about keeping livestock.
Pietro's two teenage boys are amazing, they willingly help him with the daily chores on the farm, they are so hard working.
Each afternoon after school the boys, Mirko and Matteo, take the herd of goats out for a long walk so they can graze freely along the hedgerows.
One of our first visits was in January, while Emma and Aneurin were still here.
Aneurin was totally fearless amongst the goats.
I, however, was a little more hesitant as I can recall visiting a farm zoo as a child, and becoming most upset when one of the goats started to eat the buttons off my coat !!!
However, slowly I am becoming braver. Each one has a different character, apparently some have horns and some do not. They are very inquisitive, but they don't really want to do you any harm.
We were surprised to see that a young puppy was living with the goats in the barn. He is a beautiful Maremma sheepdog, an ancient breed used for guarding flocks of sheep or goats. As the dog grows up with the goats a strong bond develops and they become very loyal to the flock and will protect them against danger.
Pietro told us that before long the pregnant goats would be giving birth. We returned a week or two later to see some of the babies.
When we arrived many of the mother goats were out on their constitutional walk so the babies were left bleating in the barn on their own. They were so cute !!!
This mother had only given birth a few hours earlier.
Soon we could hear the clanking of bells signalling the return of the flock and the babies bleated eagerly awaiting their mothers.
At first there seemed to be great confusion but we soon realised that the boys had already learned who belonged to who and deftly began pairing up each mother with its offspring, latching them on to their mothers' teets. The boys then helped put fresh hay into the racks for the adult goats to eat.
We returned a few weeks later, and my how the babies had grown !!!
They skittishly ran back and forth from one end of the barn to the other.
Now they were no longer totally dependent on their mothers' milk. Pietro said he would soon think of making some fresh Marzolino goats cheese.
Here are some of Pietro's cockerels and chickens.
Hopefully before too long we will get around to getting some chickens of our own !!!
And I may have talked Paul into getting a few goats to graze on the hill and amongst the wood !!!
Thank you Pietro for being such a good friend and for sharing your invaluable knowledge.

Whilst researching for the filming at Campodimele we had the pleasure of being introduced to Maria and Fausto who run a bar and the village's petrol station located at the foot of the ancient village. Annexed to the bar is their little trattoria called La Casareccia. We had already heard by word of mouth that this was a rather good place to eat.
To be honest, the restaurant doesn't look much from outside, but inside past the bar it is homely and cosy. In the warmer summer months one can eat "al fresco" in the tented extension.
Maria and Fausto were very friendly.
Maria is clearly passionate about cooking and puts her heart and soul into whatever she creates. She explained to us that she uses fresh wholesome locally sourced produce to create authentic traditional dishes of this beautiful region. It could possibly be called "cucina povera", which literally translated means food of the poor. It is rustic Italian country cooking at its best, humble yet packed with flavour.
On this morning she was going to cook "Ciammotte" one of the village's local delicacies (snails flavoured with mint and other herbs). She showed me the snails that she was preparing.
Maria showed us how she makes her own pasta including the typical "Laina" which is made with wheat flour, water and a pinch of salt, without the addition of eggs. The dough must be worked vigorously to obtain a uniform mass and then rolled out thinly. This is then covered with a thin layer of flour and allowed to stand for a few minutes. The it is then rolled up and then cut into uneven strips.
It is typically served with a sauce containing fagiole beans or "la Cicerchia" (the grass pea), an unusual type of chickpea / pulse widely used during Roman times.
Maria also makes her own delicious Ravioli.
We booked a table for four for the following weekend to celebrate our friend's birthday. Maria and Fausto were very attentive and helpful. We all ordered the "Antipasti della Casareccia" which was made from typical local produce and had a delectable range of flavours and textures.
In addition we were presented with crunchy "bruschetta", little fried dumplings ……
and the typical "Zuppa di Cicerchia".
Then I ordered Gnocchi with Wild Asparagus and Mushrooms
while the boys chose Tagliatelli with a Pork Ragu. Absolutely delicious.
The prices are very modest and the portions are generous – so we recommend expandable waistbands !!!
We have eaten here 4 times in the last two months and on every occasion we were very impressed by Maria's dishes. It is soooo good – we just can't wait to go back again !!!
The last occasion was Easter Monday or "Pasquetta" and the place was full and buzzing with people.
During the winter months the restaurant is only open on Friday and Saturday evenings, but during the summer months it is open most evenings.
Highly Recommended !!!

Disappointingly Autumn this year there were very few olives. It was not just us, but many of the local olive farmers found themselves in a similar situation. Back in May, when the olive trees were in flower, there was a cold spell with strong wind and heavy rain, so because of this the olive flowers had not set to form their miniature little olives.
Yet there is always work to be done in the groves. This Autumn we welcomed three more young keen volunteers to help out, Kirsten, Kay's daughter, and two of her good friends Kyle and Jessica. They had wanted to help with the olive harvest, but Paul soon got them to work pruning around the bases of the trees where unwanted shoots grow and making bonfires with the debris.
Kyle took many photos of their stay. I think they had fun !!!
I will let his photos do the talking ….
Kirsten and Kyle, the mad fools, were determined to take a dip in the pool. It was somewhat nippy at this time of year !!!
Kyle and Jessica even managed to fit in a day trip to Rome on the train.

Thank you so much guys for all your hard work.
It was so appreciated.
We had a hot and busy summer, and Paul was very pleased as he managed to recruit some extra helpers to assist him with chores around Tre Cancelle.
Firstly our cousin's son Alex volunteered to come and lend a hand for a week, and his stay coincided with a visit from our youngest grandson, Aneurin, and his Mum Emma. Paul soon put them to work !!!
More fencing was required as Pino, our horse, was becoming a dab hand at escaping from his enclosure on a regular basis. There was lots of wood to be collected from the groves, from the trees that had been pruned back in the Spring. Both Emma and Alex worked like Trojans, despite the heat, and little Aneurin did his bit too by helping to fill up the wood shed.
We were happy to welcome the return of the White family, who are regular visitors to Tre Cancelle. (You may recall that they helped us last summer when a wild fire came dangerously close to our olive grove) - http://trecancelle.wordpress.com/2012/08/08/146-fire-at-tre-cancelle-august-2012/
Sadly Andrew could not make it this time, as he was recovering from heart surgery. Jenny and the girls, Caitlin, Niamh and Bethan thoroughly enjoyed helping to look after Aneurin and fussing over Max, who had recently become a house dog, having been bullied by one of our adoptees, ie Henry.
Once again the pool came into its own ……..
Many happy evenings were enjoyed whilst dining together "al fresco". One evening Emma gave a cookery lesson for the girls and they all made pizza …..
Very tasty it was too !!!
We managed to fit in a quick visit to Atina with them all ……
and a quick visit to see cousins Mario and Mara.
Sadly too soon it was time for the Whites to make their way home.
We wish you could have stayed longer !!!
Meanwhile we enjoyed some more extra special time with Aneurin and Emma.
Cheeky Monkey !!!
Thank you to everyone for making our Summer such a happy one !!!

We were so happy to be able to invite our two eldest grandchildren Jamie and Tom and their Mum Vicki to come and stay during July, they had had a tough year and really needed a break. Jamie, 11, had just finished at primary school and was going up to senior school in the coming September.
However, the weather during their stay was extreme to say the least, hot and humid with temperatures reaching up to almost 40 deg C, totally energy zapping.
Thank goodness we had the pool for them to cool off and play in.
We invited up our friends children who moved from the UK to live in Itri three years ago, and they got on so well and great fun was had !!!
During their stay with us Tom celebrated his 9th birthday for which we held a little party.
Tom was especiallyl impressed with his special ice-cream birthday cake from the Fiocco di Neve.
The evening before their last night our friends Pauline and Filippo kindly invited us all to have supper at their home.
Thanks to Pauline and Filippo for a lovely evening !!!
Sending our love to you all.
We miss you !!!

For a long time we have wished to have some more animals at Tre Cancelle, you might think we have quite enough with the 10 dogs in the Woof-Gang !!!
Our land takes a deal of looking after, and before the summer and the risk of wild fires, Paul has to spend lots of time and energy strimming the groves. We had talked of getting some sheep to graze our land and keep the grass and weeds down, but somehow we had never got around to organising it. One evening we visited our friends at the Bellavista Restaurant in Itri and Giancarlo eagerly told us that they had acquired a pony to clear their small patch of land. The horse was named Pino and was temporarily on loan from a farmer named Pietro who lived nearby. We asked if Pietro might have any other horses that needed grazing.
We soon got to meet Pietro who arranged to come and find us to see the lay of our land. Pino had done a very good clearance job up at the Bellavista, in fact he had practically eaten his way out of a job. Pietro suggested that he could bring Pino down to us for a trial period. First, however, Paul had to organise some more fencing to make him an enclosure.
Finally Pino arrived and seemed to take easily to his new surroundings. At the restaurant he had been always tethered but here at Tre Cancelle he had much more space to roam.
Having had no experience of horses previously we didn't know what to expect, but we soon came to realise that he had an individual character, as much as any of the dogs do. He is very friendly, very used to human contact and comes to find you when he hears you call. He is very happy to received tasty morsels such as carob pods, apples, water melon, but his particular favourite is carrots. Paul would go down to find him early each morning and a friendship has developed. Pino's appetite never seems to diminish and he eats a range of plants, grass and weeds, but does not touch the olive tree at all.
Originally we'd incorporated the wooden posts, which had plain wire running between them for supporting the vines, but before long we realised that three lines of plain wire did not constitute a "Pino-proof" fence and he escaped with alarming regularity to where the grass was greener and tastier on the other side. It seemed that every day we were going to retrieve him, often from the vegetable patch where he'd polished off all the lettuces we had planted !!! Bit by bit Paul improved the fencing and before long we had to extend his enclosure as he had done such a good clean up job. Pietro and his children comes up regularly to see Pino and and is always available when there are problems. He has taught Paul how to improve his technique of barb-wire fencing and also shown him how to install an electric fence.
It became apparent that poor Pino was becoming severely bothered by flys so Paul decided to experiment with Neem oil, a natural insect repellent, which we have used on the dogs for ticks and fleas. On one occasion, whilst massaging Pino with the oil, without realising that they were both standing a little too close to the electric fence, Paul bent down to apply the Neem to Pino's legs and somehow managed to reverse himself into the electric wire giving himself a severe jolt on the bum.
Not to be recommended !!!
The Madonna della Cività is the patron of Itri. An ancient sanctuary, one of the oldest in Italy, bears her name. It is located inland, approximately 10 km from the centre of Itri, along a long winding road that leads its way through the Valle d'Itri into the Aurunci mountains, perched at a height of 670 metres on the peak of Monte Cività.
Up here the mountain air is clean and fresh, and on a clear day there are magnificent panoramic mountain views, whilst in one direction you can look down over Itri, the Gaeta peninsula and Ischia, in another you can see Fondi and its coastal lakes and the superb coastline that sweeps round and culminates in the rocky promontory of San Felice Circeo, and the Pontine archipelago.
Here there is a church decorated in a Baroque style, a quiet place of prayer and contemplation.
It houses the sacred icon, a painting of a black Madonna and Child, which is thought to have been painted by the St Luke the Evangelist, dating back to the 8th century when the Byzantine Emperor Leo III ordered religious persecutions and outlawed sacred images.
Legend has it that this work of art was lost at sea and then later found by a young mute herdsman who was searching for a missing cow on the mountainside. On discovering the painting in the branches of a holm oak tree, the boy fell to his knees and prayed, and miraculously was able to hear and speak for the first time in his life. He went back to the town of Itri to tell people what had happened and the townsfolk were amazed to witness that the boy could now communicate.
This site became a venerated shrine and a Benedictine monastery, a destination of pilgrimage. The steady stream of pilgrims grew over the years and the sanctuary and its hostels grew accordingly.
In 1527 Itri found itself struck by the devasting Black Death. On the 21 July of that year many people gathered at the Sanctuary and a procession took place through the local towns and villages with the sacred icon carried aloft. The Madonna is said to have miraculously intervened to spare many from the terrible plague.
So each year on the 21 July approximately 500,000 people make a sacred pilgrimage to the Sanctuary, some still on foot.
On the outskirts of Itri in the Raino district there is a small shrine at the start of an ancient sheep track, a winding mountain trail that pilgrims have followed to reach the Sanctuary.
In Itri near Via Farnese there is also a shrine dedicated to the
Madonna della Cività.
The annual Feast of the Madonna della Cività
is held in Itri over three consecutive days, 20th, 21st, 22nd July.

At the end of June we were invited to attend the Italian wedding of our dear friends, Raffaele and Nicole. A few years back Raffaele was one of our English students. He had a longing to travel to America and was thus keen to improve his English language skills. He went to stay with family friends in California and while there met is wife to be Nicole. Nicole's family also orignate from Itri.
They had recently married in California but the they were to then to fly to Italy to hold a second wedding ceremony here in Itri.
The ceremony was to be held in the old medieval quarter of upper Itri, which has an ancient castle and a warren of narrow cobbled streets, stone stairways and alleys. At the top is the old 9th century church of of San Michele Arcangelo.
The wedding reception was to be held in the most splendid setting of Villa Paola near Fondi.
A huge range of delicious antipasti were served al fresco in the beautiful gazebo. This was the bride and groom's table.
For the rest of the meal we were directed inside into the lavish banquet hall.
The delicious meal that insued was fish based and of numerous courses served at intervals during the afternoon.
In between there were pauses for those who would like a little twirl around the dance floor. The fuller everyone got the harder it was to move, let alone dance !!!
There were numerous toasts or "brindisi" wishing the happy couple happiness, good health and good fortune by family and friends alike.
Finally it was time to step outside once again for the bride and groom to cut the wedding cake.
Congratulations Raffaele and Nicole, may you have many happy years together.
Thank you both, and a special thanks also to Florisa and Franco for allowing us to share your special day.
Auguri !!!

On the Sunday afternoon of the Infiorata in Itri, people come from far and wide to see the beautiful carpet of flower petals created for the Feast of Corpus Domini. In this instance I think I will allow the photos to speak for themselves …….
This is the butterfly design that Kay and I helped out on ……..
We walked down the old cobble stones of the ancient Via Appia (Corso Appia Claudio) and peeked down a narrow alleyway to see yet more colourful designs.
An altar had been carefully set up along the way side. The solemn Corpus Domini Procession was on its way.
The priest walked under an ornate embroidered canopy, his shoulders covered with a silk cloak, the ends of which he used to prevent his hands from touching the sacred sacrament that was held aloft in a special holder. He paused at intervals along the way to say prayers and bless the various districts of the town.
As the procession wound its way around the town, we chose made our way back to Via della Repubblica where a podium had been set up for the culmination of the ceremony. Finally the procession arrived here lead by young children who had recently make their First Communion and the members of the town's band..
Prayers were once again said and in due course the priest blessed the town and all its inhabitants.
At the close of the ceremony, the priest and his group of little angels proceeded to walk over the painstakingly prepared carpet of flowers back towards the parish church.
It seemed such a crying shame that the beautiful floral tapestry would be destroyed after so many hours of painstaking work by the teams of volunteers. However by the following day, all was dutifully swept away, indeed there was little to show that it had even taken place.

Soda shop/market in Austin?
- k
- knightro98 Jul 25, 2011 01:34 PM
Anyone know which market/store/bodega whatever that has the best variety of cane sugar sodas? I know I can get Mexican Coke, Sprite, Dr Pepper and Pepsi just about anywhere, but I'm looking for a store that might carry dozens if not hundreds, similar to http://thesodagallery.com/index.shtml in Dallas.
BTW, I'm moving to Austin next week!
Welcome (soon) to Austin! I don't believe we have such a place. Central Market or Whole Foods, particularly the downtown headquarters, is probably your best bet.
Central Market
4477 S Lamar Blvd Ste 100, Austin, TX 78745
re: Optimista
I found this googling around: http://www.yelp.com/biz/hyridge-groce...
Anybody ever been to Hyridge Grocery? I may have to check it out. That's the kind of place I'm talking about...it wouldn't be a soda-only store, usually a cool little neighborhood grocery where the owner has a passion for sodas.
re: knightro98
Man i go right by this place all the time. Need to stop in next time and check out the beer and soda selection
Cabo Bob's is a burrito joint to keep in mind. All their sodas are cane sugar and they have 7 or 8 of them (Serve yourself, inexpensive).
Cabo Bob's
500 E Ben White Blvd Ste D100, Austin, TX 78704
The Soda Gallery is amazing-make your own six-pack! Sigh. Nothing like that here, as far as I know.
One thought though is Big Top Candy Shop, which has an old-school soda fountain.
Hyridge is pretty near me, I will try and check it out.
there is a local business called Maine Root that bottles their own cane sugar soft drinks, fairly easy to find at most specialty groceries. Some places also have Boylan cane soda on tap. Mexican coke is usually in good supply, even at convenience stores. while I've read that Austin is technically outside the permitted distribution area, Dublin Dr. Pepper is available on tap and in bottles around town. See http://www.dublindrpepper.com/
If you're looking for a specialty shop, no, not really.
re: willtryanythingonce
I'll +1 Live oak market on manchaca, they have a nice selection both in bottles and in the fountain. I'm really impressed with how many places in Austin have dublin dr pepper and main root sodas in fountains. I really like the Main Root "Mexican Cola" that Hopdoddy has. Torchy's non trailer locations also have Main Root and Dublin Dr Pepper in the fountain.

|Total (w/tax)
|Total (w/tax)
Book Description:
Should the rich bear the brunt of the tax burden, or should it be shared proportionately among the population? This issue has dominated recent public debates over the tax system, and is a controversial issue among economists. This book contains nine essays by economists on tax progressivity--how the tax burden is borne across income classes--and how the tax system affects the inequality of income. It presents the basic facts about how tax progressivity in the U.S. has changed in the 1980s, and assesses its role in exacerbating or offsetting the overall trend toward increased income inequality.

Cuban sandwich and Versailles -- in Miami, they go together like, well, José Martí and poetry. Like most everything on Versailles' extensive menu, this Cuban sandwich is a credit to its cuisine. Lots of ham, generally more than in other versions, and melted Swiss cheese between not-overly-flattened slices of very fresh Cuban bread. No gratuitous grease. The only thing that could make it better: a little less stinginess with the pickles.

text: Daily Gut: Cornel West Takes Race-Baiting to New Heights! by Greg Gutfeld 23 May 2011 post a comment Share This: So Cornel West recently called President Obama "a black mascot of Wall Street oligarchs and a black puppet of corporate plutocrats." Translation: someone discovered a Thesaurus! But there's more: in an interview on some wacky website, he spews... "I think my dear brother Barack Obama has a certain fear of free black men... It's understandable... All he has known culturally is white... When he meets an independent black brother, it is frightening." Now in all the coverage of this, the authors painstakingly point out that West is both a Princeton and a Harvard professor, and a leading black intellectual. They do this because they are scared witless of pointing out the obvious: that West is an ass. But he's also a hero, in that he unintentionally brought race-baiting to an absolute absurdity - a black progressive accusing another black progressive... of racism against black progressives! Now for black conservatives, this kind of defamation is nothing new. But for President Obama, it's got to be hilarious. He's just been outed as a white racist! But that's not the worst part. It's when West says: "As a young brother who grows up in a white context, brilliant African father, he's always had to fear being a white man with black skin." So, in one crappy sentence West praised the dad who was never there, at the expense of the family who was. So It doesn't matter to West what a man does to his family, as long as his ideology is sufficiently radical to meet West's tastes. Anyhoo, this is probably more about petty slights than anything. West thought he'd be at the White House, hanging with Barack. Instead he sees... Common. That's gotta hurt. When you're a petty jerk. And if you disagree with me, you're a racist homophobe. Tonight: Joe DeRosa! Dana Vachon! Kayleigh McEnany!
