I use this product everyday for an effortless healthy look. On my cheeks it gives a natural wash of colour and a glowy highlight. Great blendability It's great on chapped lips as its hydrating as well. I also use this product on my eyelids for a wash of colour. Other pros include the smell and the price. As for the cons, I don't like the packaging, it looks cheap with that plastic cap with words scrawled over it. Won't say this is a very long lasting product either but you can easily take it with you anyway.

These color sticks probably the best value for blush I've seen among high-end brands--$22 for 0.5oz of product, whereas most blush products come in 0.3oz of product or less. The newer Argan Infinity Lip & Cheek Creamy Oil is the only other high-end blush I've seen that is also 0.5oz, but is $18 instead and of course different in formula (and probably better for dryer skin).
I purchased an Argan Color Stick in Peony way back and loved the color, the sheerness, and the how easy it was to blend, and that it was a product I could take on the go and not need any extra brushes or sponges--just a blend with my finger. This also has a strong herbal smell--which, against popular opinion, I actually like--but the smell is fleeting after application. I liked the product enough to purchase a set of 4 from Sephora that includes the colors Beautiful, Pink, Coral, and the highlighter shade Twinkle. The colors the sticks are offered in vary in finish. I don't find that this product is very buildable, but I like it that way because some colors, such as Beautiful (a plum purple) would be too bright and garish if not sheered out.
Despite this product containing argan oil and my skin being combination-oily, I didn't find that the product felt heavy at all on my skin throughout the day. I do find that I could use another application after 4 to 6 hours, depending on the season or humidity. It also feels a tiny bit sticky right after applying, so I remedy the tackiness with a light dusting of a powder blush. It kind of defeats the purpose of being a stand-alone product or product-on-the-go, but applying powder blush does extend the staying power and makes it feel more comfortable.
The packaging appears elegant, but I actually do find that it's a little on the chunky side considering that I do like taking my products in a small makeup bag. If the packaging were taller/slimmer like Clinique's Blushwear Cream Sticks, I think this would be more convenient to tote around. The stick twists up like a lipstick (which by the way, the color can be worn on the lips but I find the application a little clumsy because the stick's diameter is so wide, and they're not moisturizing enough for my dry lips). The twist-up part of it looks luxurious but it's just gold-plated plastic and the twisting mechanism does feel cheap loose (flick of the wrist will spin this like a spinning top!). The NYX Blush Sticks and Clinique Blushwear Cream Sticks have a sturdier twist-up mechanism that doesn't feel like it will break.
Underneath the cap is another air-tight, inner cap covering the actual stick to prevent the stick from drying out. I think it's a great addition, considering that I've had the minis for about a year and they still feel as creamy as when I first bought them. But unfortunately, my Peony shade recently dried out despite being covered, but Peony is an older shade so it could be possible that the product had finally gotten too old...! Oops.
Overall, I liked the Argan Color Sticks as they're versatile cream blushes/lip colors that make a great understatement when worn, and they're made with natural ingredients so aside from the price tag, I don't feel guilty wearing these. I do wish the stick was not as sticky, was taller, skinnier, and sturdier--then this would be my absolute favorite blush product.

A different textural addition to my makeup kit. It is a very sheer colour which becomes a modern way to consider blush. It's soft but it's there. It's colour that seems to emanate from your skin instead of laying on top of it. As we get used to paring away foundation we also need to consider products that do the same for blush. This is modern; this is fresh. I picked up Rosey which is a muted pink, not quite dusty, which unlike any "multiple-use" product really does a good job on lips as well as cheeks. It has a very smooth application and the argan oil isn't greasy, slimey but rather glistening and moisturizing. It held up very well on a humid day and will be a welcome addition in the winter. Since there is so much unwarranted squawk about the scent, here it is: smells like Noxzema on application, which isnot offensive and dissipates in 3 seconds.
UPDATE: had to lower the rating. It doesn't last more than an hour so it is definitely not worth the cost.

While browsing through Josie Maran products in Sephora I came across this cheek/lip tint. What caught my eye was the gorgeous packaging, so me being a beauty junkie I purchased it. The price was a bit steep for a color stick, but I thought I'd give it a try. I choose the color Rose mostly because the Pink shade was sold out, but I was pretty impressed with the color and sheen. The Rose shade was labeled as "a universal shade for everyone", and since fall was coming up I thought I'd like a nice deep red shade for my lips and cheeks. After purchasing it I went home and did my usual BB cream routine with powder. After that I attempted to swipe the color across my cheeks and lips. The stick felt extremely sticky, and I do mean sticky. It was hard as a rock and did not go smoothly unto my skin. After a few uses the stick softened up and began to go on with a quick swipe. (If this happens to you, don't be alarmed. Usually if you use the stick a few times it softens up, you could also try blowing on it with a blow dryer for a few seconds to get the same result). Anyways, the color was absolutely gorgeous on my cheeks and lips and the quality was great. I am always looking for more organic beauty products containing argan oil so I'm glad I found this one. I will definitely repurchase. Quick tip: If you don't want the color to fade, use a setting spray after applying it and it will last all day (even in hot and humid weather).
Pros: Beautiful packaging, organic ingredients, nice rosey shade, good staying power, packed with argan oil, no animal cruelty
Cons: Pricey, a bit sticky

On my second Rosey. I use this like I do Nars Malibu ... scribbled or dotted and blended and then forgot about for the rest of the day. Cheeks and lips. Love it.

reading all the reviews, i wasnt quite sure that i would like this blush stick. but i do. i like it. i do not love it.
i got it in glow, full size. the tube is a bit wide and not really usefull for use as a lipcolor. which is ok, because i find this collor doesnt really show on my lips, but only makes them dry.
as a blush, i like it much better, because the color is absolutely gorgeous on my fair skin. my cheeks glow, yet the color is most natural. good for daytime and with another swipe, for an evening. i am in love with the way it looks.
note: not very easy to apply on dry skin. if your skin is dry, please add extra moisturizer or argan oil before using this stick.
staying power is average. again not bad, but not the best. i get 4-6 hours on everage.
if not for my beloved cheek gelee, i would probably give this blush a higher rating. i still might buy it in travel size, but nothing compares to the coolness and staying power of gelle. at least, nothing thus far :)
edit: had to take 1 lippy off and change to 'NO', will not buy again.
1) the smell of this color stick is just too off-putting. usually, i do not mind herbal or medicinal smells. heck, i even took traditional chinese medicine. and if you ever made healing tea prescribed by tcm doctor, you know strong smell. but the smell of this stick is so strong, it makes my eyes water every time i try to use it as a blush.
2) for some reason the blush gets more and more difficult to apply. strange. it was not easy to blend when it was cold outside. as the weather is getting warmer, one would think, the blush would get softer. but no, it gets drier instead. maybe i got a bad product, when i tried it at sephora several times and it was rather creamy. but then sephora has those industrial strength lights beaming all day...who knows. but i will not re-purchase. in fact, i had a chance to buy few other colors on sale, but couldnt get over the horrid smell.
too bad, because if you can get over awful smell and difficulties with application, the resulting color is gorgeous.
update: i traveled a lot over summer months and did not take the stick with me, as it is too bulky. it was stored inside a container with a tight lid along with other jm products. just came home to find the stick is so dry, it is impossible to use. dry paint is not as dry. it did not dry out in a tube, and retained the original shape. it is just so dry, it cannot be spread without ripping your skin. to the trash it goes. what a waste of money :(

I am all for NATURAL, but this color stick is 2 thumbs down 4 me. I got mine (color: Pink Peony) in a make-up kit from QVC & was actually shocked at the SMELL!! I have been an ardent user of essential oils for 25+ yrs & the STRONG scent of this 'color stick' caused me to do a 'double take.' It smells to high heaven of (mostly) tea tree oil. Even tho I can tolerate the strong smell, I KNEW many users would NOT! Also, I do like the idea of a combo lipstick & blush which I have done for decades w my Cover Girl lipstick, but JM missed the mark on this, too. On the lips, there is little color payoff & formula is too greasy as a lipstick. As a blush, the results r ok, but there is little 'staying' power. Also, I do like the color (4 my skin tone), but I recommend JM rethink the name. 'Pink Peony' is more like 'Rust Brick.' On the upside, this is the only product of Jodie Marins I am not impressed with.

I love this in spice, a brown rosy color. It blends really nicely and gives a healthy glow. It lasts longer on me then other creme blushes I've used in the past. It smells minty and has a cooling effect. So far no clogged pores, will give it more time before deciding if its HG for creme blushes.

I like the portable stick of color idea and the shades are pretty, but the smell of these is just so off-putting that I cannot put them on my face. I received these as a gift and after smelling them, I was very glad that I did not pay for these. I went to look at the Tarte cheek stains, and those colors are beautiful AND they smell nice as well. I think that I would be much happier with the Tarte product instead of this one---which was a total no-go for me.

I really love Josie's products, and really do love certain things about these color sticks. The colors are beautiful and natural looking, and you get so much product it would take you forever to finish one.
I have two of them: Petal Pink, a peachy pink with a little bit of luminosity; and Beautiful, a natural rosy pink. Both the colors are ridiculously flattering in their own way. Petal is the color that brightens you up: it's the ultimate external hangover cure. Beautiful makes you look like a blushing bride, innocent and sensual at the same time. There's a major problem with Beautiful, though: from what I can tell, it's only available on QVC in the JM Pure & Simple kit. Believe me, the kit is totally worth it, but it really stinks that you might just want Beautiful and aren't able to get it separately if you wanted.
I take it easy with cream blush, as it's so much easier for my cheeks to look blotchy (which they are under my foundation). I only have to tap them on my cheeks for enough color. I then use my fingers to blend, using a tapping rather than a rubbing motion in order for my foundation to not get rubbed off. It looks so natural and so youthful.
As others have mentioned, they do have a smell. To me it smells like Tea Tree, which this does contain, and it has a medicinal smell that takes some getting used to. The ingredients list rosemary oil, which I think is partly to blame as well. That's a shame, because not only is the smell unpleasant (unlike actual rosemary), it's also known to be an irritant. It's low down on the ingredient list, but still. What is the reason for it to be there? She already put Argan oil, shea butter, avocado butter, and other moisturizing ingredients in these sticks. There's no reason on earth to put rosemary oil in this product.
I do apply these to my lips but I don't find them moisturizing in the least. My cheeks are pretty oily anyway, so I can't comment on whether they moisturize the face.
The main problem I have with these is that they disappear so quickly. I don't know if they work better on dryer skin than mine. But if you want longer lasting blush without an irritant, try Josie's Coconut Cheek gelees. They stain all day!

While touring Steven's kitchen a few weeks ago, I noticed a sweet and useful detail: a white pegboard over the stove. I haven't personally seen this material used in a cooking space since a visit to Julia Child's amazing kitchen at the Smithsonian museum as a kid. Turns out a pegboard can look fresh and totally modern, as we've seen before. Find out why Steven loves this storage system:

Once you try Steven Soria's banana brûléed pancakes, it's hard to go back to any other pancake.

Luckily, Steve shared some of his pancake-making wisdom with me:

Why I Garden: Aimée of Simple Bites Talks About Children, Chickens, & Her Homestead in Quebec
Garden Tour
Who gardens here: Aimée Wimbush-Bourque of the blog Simple Bites. Danny, her husband, their children: Noah (8), Mateo (6), and Clara (2)
Where: Outside Montreal, Quebec
I have long admired Aimée, the blogger and voice behind Simple Bites. I love her writing and her warm photography, and the way that she talks about life in the kitchen with her family. I got the opportunity to visit her when I was in Montreal last fall, and I discovered that she's just as warm and generous in person. She also makes gardening and homesteading look very, very easy.
Here's a peek at her garden and chicken coop, and the brunch she made from the bounty of her family's garden. We talked about what it really takes to garden (less time than you might think!) and why Aimée values it so much for her children's sake.
Why Chef Michelle Marek Stores Her Cast Iron Skillets on the Side of the Cupboard

Where: Montreal, Quebec
Visit their blog: An Endless Banquet
This week we peeked inside Montreal chef Michelle Marek's kitchens — both of them! The one at home, and the one at Foodlab, the restaurant where she works. Today I want to go back to the home kitchen for a moment. I noticed that Michelle and her partner, Anthony, who does most of the cooking at home, hang their cast iron skillets on the side of the cupboard. I asked her why they store them here, and not in the cupboards themselves.
A Chef at Work: Michelle Marek of Foodlab in Montreal
Kitchen Tour
Where: SAT Foodlab, Montreal, Quebec
Who cooks here: Michelle Marek and co-chef Seth Gabrielse
Yesterday I gave you a peek inside Montreal chef Michelle Marek's home kitchen, and today we're going to visit her restaurant. No, we don't usually write about restaurants at The Kitchn, but we certainly take inspiration for home cooking from them, and I felt that it would be interesting to talk to Michelle about how home and restaurant cooking differ from one another.
Those differences turn out to be less dramatic than I expected at Foodlab, an unusual restaurant that initially bootstrapped itself into existence with few resources; Michelle and her co-chef Seth carried appliances and tools into the restaurant straight from their own home kitchens, even biking in the food itself before they got stoves installed!
Here's what Michelle has to say about cooking with love and making do — at home and at the restaurant — and why her KitchenAid mixer has never made it back to her home kitchen.

When I was in Montreal a few months ago I looked around, as I always do, for a cook to visit, someone willing to open up their own home kitchen to all of us. On this trip, I got a double pleasure: a visit with chef Michelle Marek both at home and at the restaurant, Foodlab, she runs with her partner Seth Gabrielse.
While we don't really handle the restaurant beat here at The Kitchn, I thought it might be intriguing to see a cook both at home and in the professional kitchen, and to talk about how her cooking differs between the two. Today we'll start at home — come take a peek into Michelle's cozy and vibrant home kitchen.
What I Cook: Abby's Favorite Cookbooks & Her Tip For a Stress-Free Dinner Party
Kitchen Tour
Last week we showed you Abby Ruettgers' sweet South End kitchen, a gorgeous, well-edited space with rows of cookbooks, soapstone countertops, and a big chopping board. Abby loves to entertain, and her kitchen is perfectly set up for it: in colder months friends hang out at the counter or lounge around her dining table; in the summer they head out to the patio, which is in near-constant use in grilling season.
I know that anyone who frequently entertains has a tip or two up her sleeve, and Abby certainly did. Here she shares her three favorite cookbooks (for now!), a few go-to dinner party recipes, and the one thing she does to ensure she isn't stuck in the kitchen all night when she has friends over for dinner:

While looking through Abby's kitchen tour yesterday, did you notice the huge chopping board on her countertop? If there's one thing Abby believes in, it's her John Boos cutting board. She calls it a "beast" and it never leaves her countertop. Here's why it's so crucial to her kitchen, and how she keeps it in top-top shape:

Abby Ruettgers' kitchen is not where you think it'd be. When I walked through the front door of her lovely (and narrow) four-story Boston townhouse and didn't see the kitchen, I assumed it was up the stairs on the second floor, and said as much. But Abby surprised me: no, she said, it's in the basement!
A basement kitchen? I was intrigued, and then blown away when I rounded the corner on the last few steps downstairs and found myself in a beautiful, light-filled room. Part cooking and part entertaining space, Abby's kitchen isn't huge, but it's a "good layout in a funny space," as she notes, with plenty of room for her frequent dinner guests, her ever-growing cookbook collection, and of course, Cooper and Keegan, her two very large and very beloved dogs.

Seriously, I have no idea. I am trying to think of the evolutionary benifit of a men being constantly horny in there 20's but women not hitting there peak until 32. By the time the man hits 32 his libido isnt what it used to be. So as a species are we even supposed to be with people our own age. It just doesnt make sense. What I am trying to figure out is, is there any evolutionary benifit to mens sexual peaks being in there 20's yet women dont hit it until there 30's.
One thing I have noticed is that a lot of women in there 30's, married, w/boyfriend, or whatever still crave younger guys. They want the young penis, I know from experience. Do you think this may have something to do with the fact that they subconciously want to be with a guy who is at there sexual peak, who probably has a better chance of impregnating them?

Who says pork chops have to be boring? Not DaVita dietitian Mary from Minnesota. Mary's recipe for Dijon Pork Chops has a fancy touch almost everybody will love.
A DaVita dietitian for 18 years, Mary loves meeting interesting people from different cultures and all walks of life. During her school days at the University of Minnesota, Mary found her renal rotation the most challenging part of her studies and decided it was the specialty she wanted to work in.
"The most challenging aspect of my job is caring for patients with multiple medical problems, but there's a rewarding aspect to it," Mary says. "When a patient tells me that the information I give them really helps, I feel as though I'm giving them the tools they need to follow their diet and thus enjoy a better quality of life." Mary describes her approach with patients as a caring one and she advises that the single most important thing patients can do to improve health is adhere to their dialysis treatment schedule.
When asked what makes her center special, Mary says, "We have a Special Needs Unit with two beds for those patients who are unable to sit up during their dialysis treatment. We also have private rooms for patients who suffer from mental illness and behavior problems, and an isolation room for patients with hepatitis B." Finally, Mary adds that her favorite thing about the location is not having to take the freeway to get to work.
Mary's hearty Dijon Pork Chops are just the ticket for an old-fashioned meal with a tasty update. And, if you have leftovers, pork chops reheat or freeze well for another day.

UNDP brings 'fair trade' to Turkey
The French man was looking for a quality food product with a good story behind it… The Turkish villagers were looking for a good buyer who would pay a fair price for their product, and they had lots of stories… This combination started a 'fair trade' between Paris and Suvarlı, a small town of about 5,000 inhabitants in Southeastern Turkey .
New Horizons - Nicholas Mounard is the representative of a French company called "Alter-Eco" , which is a prominent actor in the 'fair trade' system. Nicolas hiked in the mountainous countryside between Adıyaman and Gaziantep in the beginning of June to see whether they could take small Turkish producers on board as well. And indeed intensive negotiations and a bit of convincing power led to a three-year agreement between the small farmers of Suvarli and Alter-Eco Commerce Equitable . According to the contract, Suvarlı villagers will produce good quality Besni grapes, preferably organic, and the French company will initially buy 4 tonnes of it after the harvest, for a price which is well over what the villagers were paid by other tradesmen before. So why does Alter-Eco do this? "After all, we are also tradesmen", said Nicolas; "but our company is doing it for 'fair trade'." So we asked Nicholas Mounard, Producer Support Manager of Alter -Eco Company , what 'Fair Trade' was…
Nicholas Mounard: Fair Trade is based on different commitments. First of all, we pay a fair price. Fair price is a price that covers the cost of production. Then, it's a direct link. We work directly with the producer. Generally we speak with a producer organization. And we work in a transparent way. That means, we ask them to give all the information about cost structure, about accounting, everything... And for our part, we tell everything about our margin, about the way we deal with the product, who are our customers... A last criteria would be to work with sustainable agriculture, it means environmental-friendly production. It can be organic or non-organic, but it has to be sustainable and it has to respect the land.
New Horizons: So who are you, then? Will you please tell us about your company?
NM: I'm working for Alter-Eco. It's a French-based company but we also have a subsidiary in the U.S. The company was created in 1998, under an association. It was created by my boss, Tristan Lecomte. He opened two shops in Paris, selling food and handicrafts. But under this business model it didn't really work, because we couldn't make big volumes. Our volumes are quite an important thing for us because we pay more, so with big volumes you can crash the fixed cost. Through the shops, it wasn't efficient enough, so we closed the shop in 2000 and re-opened a company, called Alter-Eco, with a new business model, mainly oriented towards supermarkets. We are importing products from 37 co-operatives in 30 countries and we are selling under our own brand.
NH: Which countries, for example?
NM: Around 50% of our turnover is coming from South America: Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador. Between 35-40% -these are products like tea, rice, spices and sugar- from Asian countries such as Phillippines, Thailand, India and Sri Lanka. We also get olive oil from Palestine. And 15% from Africa: like Togo, Ethiopia, Ghana and South Africa. For example, Ethiopia is making coffee. South Africa is making red tea. Ghana is making cocoa and chocolate. Togo is making dry fruits.
NH: How did 'Fair Trade' start?
NM: Fair Trade appeared in the 1950s and the 60s. At the beginning it was mainly a religious movement. It was linked with the protestant church and the catholic church. During the 70s and the 80s, it became more political, with organizations such as Oxfam in Europe. They were making fair trade and also lobbying for better trading conditions against the World Trade Organization, or lobbying for the cancellation of the debts of poor countries. In 1990s appeared some new actors that were more oriented towards touching the everyday people, excluding any political opinion, just making fair trade and trying to develop trade volumes. To develop the volumes you have to go where people are going, so these actors made the choice to enter the supermarkets. That's what we did.
NH: How many companies are there, such as yours?
NM: I can't give you an exact number, but you can find two or three main companies in every developed country. It's mainly developed in Switzerland, Germany, U.K. and Italy. It's still very young in the U.S. and in Japan.
NH: How do you find your producers? Or do they find you?
NM: Both actually. Most of the products we are buying are certified by an association called "Fair Trade Labelling Organization" (FLO). They are based in Germany, in Bonn. They are certifying producer organizations under certain criteria which are social, economic and environmental. So FLO is a good basis for us because they give us the data base for all the producer organizations that they certify.
NH: Is it like a voluntary organization or do you pay for it?
NM: No, the system is organized like this: in every country you have what they call national initiatives. These organizations were born to promote 'fair trade'. And then in the 90s, they decided that they should merge and have a common system for creating a common association called the FLO. FLO is owned by all national initiatives. So for every product, like for chocolate, for sugar, grapefruit, tea, coffee, etc., they will set the rules for buying fair trade products, saying "you should pay this price, you should be careful about this criteria" etc. So FLO is making the rules and making the certification under the criteria. FLO is a private company, they are making the certification and they go to every single organization to certify them.
NH: But Turkey is not included in this organization?
NM: No, there does not seem to be any Turkish organizations. That's why FLO is not our only source of information. Sometimes, for different reasons, we go outside because there is no standard for such and such a product. There's no rule, like for olive oil for example, importing olive oil from Palestine and from Morocco. But there is no rule for olive oil. FLO is not saying "you should pay that price for olive oil", so we cannot have any certified organization. If we want to make a fair trade (olive oil in this example), we have to identify the group, we have to identify what is a "fair trade price", we have to do all that job by ourself. So in that case, we really use our network, which is a network of producer organizations, NGOs, even Oxfam or the other fair traders, and they can tell us "OK, you should maybe go and see that organization that might do the products you need." We also receive a lot of offers from organizations writing to us or calling, saying "I have a very good product, you might be interested in buying this product." They usually send us samples of their product; we test it, and if we like it, and if there's a market opportunity, we go there to see what we can do.
NH: Is there a limit to the variety of the products? For example, if an oil producer in Turkey approaches you, what happens if you already have a few variety of (olive oil) offers?
NM: Well, you can work on a few different criteria. First of all, you either make the choice to work with more organizations, or you want to make the choice to strengthen the relationship with the organization you are already working with. So you are both driven by market demand, what market wants, and by your choice in the face of the organization you're working with. Let's take an example, olive oil organization in Turkey... We just have to see what the market is: do we need more volumes than we are doing right now, and if yes, what should we do? Should we just strengthen the organization we are working with, or should we work with another one? Usually we make the choice to have more impact of the producer we are working with, just because this producer, they usually don't sell all their product to us, they are just selling 10% of their volumes on the fair trade market and the rest on the conventional market. So usually the objective is to make fair trade proportion grow, just to have more impact on them...We judge on this, on distributing... And we always start with small amounts. Because when you launch your products, you don't know how it will work, so you begin with a few volumes, then you see how the consumers are reacting and if the sales are growing, you will buy more volumes.
"In fair trade, you have to be committed to a long term relationship with an organization."
NH: Is this the way you usually work? Are there contracts you finish in one year-two years, or do you continue?
NM: We have never stopped working with a cooperative until now. That's also one of the criteria for fair trade that you have to be committed to a long term relationship with an organization. We always work on a three-year contract, but that's a rolling contract. It means that every year you'll tell them "OK, let's re-negotiate the contract." So they always have three years in front of them. They are able to invest in function of those volumes. So we never stop a relation. All relations we begin have a three-year future at least.
NH: Is there a special model? For example, do you work with a production company, or cooperatives? And if there are no cooperatives, how do you handle it?
NM: We have all different kinds of cases. We always need to have a collective structure, for different reasons. The first reason is that we are paying on two levels for price. The minimum price which is the price we want the producer to be paid and we add what we call the "fair trade premium" which is paid to the collective group to finance collective projects. It might be an association, a cooperative, a village committee.
The objective is to transfer most of the added value to the co-ops, to make them do the whole production. So we usually begin with a bulk import. We find a solution in France to package it, to design it. And then we transfer some of the added value progressively. On some products such as rice, spices, or tea, everything is made in the cooperatives: the raw material, the quality process, the packaging, the printing... But we always make the design. The design is made by computer in Paris. We send them the design, then they will work with a printer service provider. They print and stick it on the packages.
NH: Until you arrange this with the local people, do you do it yourselves?
NM: It's really case by case. Usually at the beginning of the relationship, we import by bulk and then progressivelly we transfer all the process. Let's take the example of the grapes here. The cooperatives we visited are not able to package for the moment. They don't have the machines for that. So we will import by bulk and we'll find a solution in France, no problem. But next year, maybe we can find a company here that will be able to do that, and we'll contract the company to make that for us. So we'll transfer a part of the added value in Turkey which is already a good thing. And then through volumes, through money invested in the cooperatives, some day they will get enough cash to invest in some packing machines, which is very simple for dried fruits. You just have vacuum machines. So you will transfer from the Turkish company to the co-op and they will do everything, and we'll send them the design, they will contact a printer in Gaziantep, they will print stickers and stick them manually on every bag, and put them in card boxes and export them to France.
"A collective structure that gathers all the products, and deals with us in trading is needed".
NH: Are you approachable by individual producers?
NM: We always work with a collective form. For different reasons: first of all, it's too hard for us to say "OK, I'll buy 30 kg from you, 20 from you, 20 from you..." It's like impossible, for us to work with thousands and thousands of producers. We have to have a focal point which is the cooperative. So for pragmatical reasons we need to have a collective structure that gathers all the products and that would be the structure that is dealing with us in the trading relationship. And also, we always work with a collective group, with co-ops because it's important for us that the producer is not only selling the product but he's also the owner of an organization that might give him some other skills that help him manage (the group manager company), the quality process, manage the packaging. It's very important to have a quality structure, just to gather all the producers around a common project. That's also a part of the deal, so we are not reachable by one producer saying "I have one hundred kilos of this product"; that's not possible.
NH: You mentioned social projects by the cooperatives... What kind of projects are you talking about here?
NM: Social projects are financed by the premiums the cooperatives are getting. These have to be dedicated to collective projects. It's not always social projects. It's gradual. Usually at the beginning it's more about operational projects, to have more skills or about the process in the co-ops. They invest in the machines to be able to get more of the process in the co-ops. Then, when they have that, they usually invest in schools, in alphabetization programme, you can have all that kind of thing... Or you can also invest premium in environmental projects. You can use it for paying for organic certification, or for a re-plantation programme, etc. You can use it in plenty of ways. You just have to use it for common interests.
"The only thing we ask is that the premium is used for everybody."
NH: So, that is your condition.
NM: We don't say "you have to spend the premium like that". That's the reason why we always work with collective structures and we are always paying a lot of attention to how the collective structure is working, that it works very democratically. The only thing we ask is that the premium is used for everybody. The project has to be voted by the general assembly of the cooperative, so every single producer is part of the collective structure. They gather once or twice a year in general assembly. And the president says "Okay, we should maybe spend the premium on school, or on machines, or an environmental programme." He says "I vote for this." That's the guarantee for us, if the cooperative is working democratically. That's the only condition for us.
NH: Would they want money for themselves?
NM: No. What I mean is, the only condition is to finance only collective projects. There's no point in saying "Ok, I have 1,000 Dollars; so I give $ 1 to you, $1 to you, etc..." It's not individual, it has to be something for everybody.
NH: So there has to be a project.
NM: There has to be a project. It can be inside the co-op for operational reasons (maybe they'd want to invest in something), or it can be a social or environmental project.
NH: Do you have examples of such projects?
NM: Sure. For example, rice in Thailand. They were selling their rice to a company but they could not make the packaging, so they invested in vacuum machines, to put their rice in vacuumed packages. So they could do the whole processing. They invested in 3 or 4 vacuum machines. Now, they can export by themselves the finished product.
Another example is cocoa in Ghana. They used the premium for school and for digging wells for water. Or as in the Brazil case, they used the premium for a re-forestation programme. In South Africa, they invested in a tea court, a place to make the tea dry. Before, they had to work with a private company and they were not independent.
"The project in Turkey was interesting for us, because women were involved."
NH: Let's come to Turkey... How did you end up here today?!
NM: Good question! We wanted to import raisins. We wanted to have dried fruits in our range of products. The standards are both for each product, and also geographical. There is a standard for raisins in South Africa, but there is just one organization in S.A. and it was not very satisfying for us. We didn't want to work with them. The only solution was to find other countries. We wanted something different in terms of taste, colour and form. And UNDP Turkey Office was trying to find some outlets, some commercial opportunities from Turkish producers. The project people came to our office and said they found this product, these raisins. And it was exactly what we have been looking for. These raisins were different: bigger, different colour, with seeds, and the taste was different and very good. It was an interesting project for us, because women were involved. And we were in a part of Turkey that was different from the rest of the country. So it was perfect for us, in terms of product, in terms of taste and in terms of project. So we decided to come here to see what was the reality on the field.
NH: And what is the process after this? You'll go back to France after you make some calculations. Do you have to vote a decision? Or do you decide here and sign a contract?
NM: I'm here for knowing better the project and to meet the producers, to see with which producers we'll be working, define the work structure and the quality issues. Then I'm back to France. I will present to my team what my understanding of the project is and if they agree, we will approach... Before coming here, we had agreed on the product, we tasted it and gave a price. And we had a first understanding of the project, which was what we wanted. So I'm going back to France, and I will tell them if what we understood before was consistent with what I saw in the field. And if it's the case, then let's do it. We'll make the order and we'll sign the contract.
Shortly after this interview, Alter Eco Company did confirm its order to buy 4 tonnes of dried Besni grapes from the producers of Suvarlı village in South East Anatolia. The company is now waiting for the harvest in September 2006 to import and market the product in French supermarkets.
Meanwhile Suvarlı villagers and producers have already started on creating a cooperative structure, which is a fundamental part of the Fair Trade criteria.
Besni raisins for health:
During his stay in Suvarli, the villagers told Nicolas Mounard many stories about their Besni raisins. This one is about the healing power of the dried grapes:
A Suvarli man was taken seriously ill during a visit to Syria . He immediately went to see a doctor. The Syrian doctor examined the patient and asked him to come back the next day to get his prescription. Before going to bed that night the villager ate a handful of raisins that he brought with him on the journey. Next morning he woke up feeling on top of the world, strong as steel… The doctor couldn't believe his eyes, and asked him not to tell this to anybody; "otherwise" he said "we, doctors, would loose our job!"
Suvarli people have many such anecdotes about the healthy quality of their big, tasty raisins, containing seeds. They believe that this type of raisins, which they also call "the Prophet's raisins", have a good effect on jaundice disease and stomach disorders, and increase red blood cells.

Turkey donates medical devices to Kyrgyzstan
Friday, March 07, 2014
BISHKEK, Kyrgyzstan – Turkish Coordination and Cooperation Agency (TIKA) donated an ultrasound machines and digital mammography equipment for breast cancer screening to a hospital in the Kyrgyz capital, Bishkek on Friday.
Speaking at the ceremony at Bishkek National Oncology Hospital, Turkey's ambassador to Bishkek, Metin Kilic, said public health is one of the most important issues in Kyrgyzstan.
Celik said Turkey and Kyrgyzstan, as two friendly countries, will work together to modernize hospitals.
"We will sign a health agreement with Kyrgyzstan in the coming days and under this agreement we are planning to host a significant number of Kyrgyz patients for treatment in Turkey," Celik said.
Kyrgyz President's spouse, Raisa Atambayeva, thanked the Turkish ambassador for Turkey's effort to support Kyrgyzstan's health services.
Elena Butonova, who has been working for Bishkek National Oncology Hospital for 23 years, told Anadolu Agency that there were around four old mammography devices at the hospital. She said the devices donated by Turkey are the first modern equipment.
Butonova also said around 500 women get breast cancer every year in Kyrgyzstan.
TIKA also renewed the furniture, computers and office equipment of two rooms at the oncology hospital.
TIKA, established in 1992, undertakes projects in fields including education, health, restoration, agricultural development in 30 countries across five continents.

Our U.S. trucks log millions of miles every year, delivering products to our more than 4,800 locations across the country. So when it comes to sustainability and fleet efficiency, the goal is simple: deliver more while driving fewer miles. This goal is the driving principle behind our commitment to double fleet efficiency by 2015 (compared to 2005). We're already 80% of the way there. Since 2007, we've delivered 658 million more cases while driving 298 million fewer miles.
But the key to continued improvement is through technology. We need to use the most efficient equipment available – and we need to pursue and test the technologies of tomorrow. That's why we've been working with our suppliers to pilot new and emerging technologies for about 20 years. These tests have included a number of prototypes: hybrid assist, wheel-end hybrid assist, full propulsion hybrid, natural gas (LNG and CNG) and waste grease.
In Canada, our Supercube trailer pilot has just entered its second test phase after proving that it can ship up to 40% more merchandise than conventional tractor-trailer combinations, reducing costs by 24% and greenhouse gas emissions by 14%.
The latest example of this is our new Walmart Advanced Vehicle Experience concept truck, which is the result of collaboration between many vendor partners, including Peterbilt, Great Dane Trailers and Capstone Turbine. The truck combines aerodynamic, mictroturbine-hybrid powertrain, electrification, and advanced control systems all in one vehicle.

REALLY?? You think this is a good thing? How does it benefit there employees? When you have employee starting a food drive for themselves.FLAG Reply
i do not its going to halp anyone but the driveers of the Trucks..and ps this will make the wilmart 's employee's mad.FLAG Reply
Really? Think about it, how whould this benefit the employees? Simple, more fuel efficient trucks can help lower costs in all directions. If your salary stays the same, but the price of food can drop, then everyone benefits. The trucks they use now burns 1 gallon of fuel an hour just idoling, and gets about 6 MPG. If they can cut diesel use that would be great. It costs around $800 a day in diesel for regular rigs.FLAG Reply

Elvis Shifflett, who led police on a manhunt last October, entered an Alford Plea in court Tuesday.
Shifflett admitted that there was enough evidence to convict him of the grand theft auto and gun charges he faced but did not admit guilt. The manhunt ended when police shot Shifflett.
He is scheduled to be sentenced on July 2nd. He is still facing charges in Charlottesville for allegedly trying to shoot his girlfriend.

Homegroup Printer Sharing Fails error 0x000003e3
We have an ASUS Zenbook U31F. We like it, but may have to return it because we cannot get it to print to our network printer on our HomeGroup. We have a Dell Studio 17 that prints to this computer with no problem.
When we attempt to print to the printer (HP OfficeJet 6100 Series), the ASUS computer downloads a driver from the server and then issues the message "Operation failed with error 0x000003e3."
Here are some things that I have tried.
1) Updating the HP printer driver
I cannot do this. Windows reports that the printer driver is included in Windows 7 and I do not need to update it (and I cannot update it - the OS will not allow me to.)
2) Attaching the printer directly to the ASUS ZenBook
ASUS ZenBook can print to the HP OfficeJet 6100 if it directly connected with a USB cable. This is not an acceptable solution: my wife needs to use the printer from anywhere in the house.
3) Registry Hack
I read about a registry hack to fool Windows into thinking that the printer is already connected. I did this and the printer appears in the Devices and Printer applet. Unfortunately, the first time I attempt to use the printer, the ASUS ZenBook downloads the printer driver and fails again.
ASUS and Best Buy have been completely useless. ASUS points the finger (I am not sure which finger) to HP. Best Buy wants me to pay an additional $70 for a support contract to get the computer that I bought from them to work.
The server is a home-built gaming system built on a Gigabyte motherboard - Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit, SP1, 6GB RAM, Intel i7 920 @ 2.66 GHz.
The laptop is an ASUS ZenBook U31F running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit.
Any help would be appreciated,

Hiya and welcome to the forums
Maybe look at an affordable USB print server takes allot of the headaches out of Network printing and it means you can print to the printer without having to set up printer sharing etc. (print server connects directly to the printer and router)
USB print servers These are in £ but I rekon you'll get a rough idea
You could even purchase a new all in one printer (with fax) and network ready for cheaper than the $70 support fee
HP Officejet 4500
Hope this helps pal

After several false leads, I finally discovered the solution to the problem. The issue was permissions on the print spool directory. The fix is to give permissions to everyone to write this directory. You actually have to do it two ways: Windows Sharing and NTFS File Permissions. See the post by Drompa in [Solved] Adding network printer in Vista. - Vista-General-Discussion - Windows-Vista. I applied this fix and it worked right away. Well, almost right away. Windows asked me to select a printer driver and, after I did, told me that one was already installed and I should use that one. Typical.
I would expect HomeGroup printer sharing to address this issue automatically but, after, it is Windows:
5.1 versions

Still wrong...

Robert Pattinson for Dior Homme Fragrance
It was only a month ago that hunk-du-year Robert Pattinson was confirmed as the new face for Dior Homme's forthcoming fragrance. Hours after the announcement, Dior teased us with a droolsome shot of the 'Twilight' star in moody black and white, and now we've been rewarded for having waited (not so) patiently with another shot of the actor turned model - in a bath tub no less! Hold on to your pants though, ladies, he's fully dressed, but with a scorcher of a smile.
Photographed by American artist Nan Goldin and filmed by French director Romain Gavras, leaked shots from a Dior event see the actor getting sultry in the ad alongside a barely-dressed lady. And now he's in a bath tub, ooh we can barely contain our excitement for the rest of the campaign - which, annoyingly, is already being broadcast in Europe (minus the UK) and Asia (minus China and Japan).
Rob is reportedly soon set to take to the big screen again in David Cronenberg's next film, Maps to the Stars before going on to star in Hold on to Me, directed by James Marsh and co-starring Carey Mulligan.
Drool through some snaps of the scruffy scorcher in our gallery below...

After months of staying out shops and not even doing any online shopping because I couldn't be bothered, I have now officially broken and ruined my 'stand against materialism' run. In the last 5 days (4 really, because Christmas Day doesn't
count) I have bought the following (for myself, not presents!):
Black short shorts
2 tops
A necklace
A pair of sunglasses
2 pairs of shoes
1 pair of boots
3 pairs of lace knickers (two black, one red. Ooooh la la!)
The new Neil Young CD
However, all that for $390.00. The pre and post
Christmas sales are just sooooo good and to think I wouldn't have bought any of it if it hadn't been Christmas because it was Christmas shopping and Christmas present returns that had me in the shops in the first place. Retail has all its little ploys to get you in there and sucker you in good and hard and boy was I suckered. At least I look good though!
You and your boots!

By PoliceOne Staff
ISSAQUAH, Wash. — The gunman who was fatally shot by officers outside a school on Saturday fired at pedestrians before aiming at police, officials said.
A group of four teens reported seeing a shooter wearing dark camouflage and brandishing two rifles walk through the school parking lot and fire shots in their direction, according to the Seattle Times. None of them were hit, which has raised questions of whether the man was trying to shoot them or trying to attract gunfire from officers.
"If he really wanted, he could have killed us pretty fast," Shanae Hover, 17, said. "The first shot went between me and my friend."
Police on Sunday said they still did not know why the 51-year-old man opened fire near Issaquah High School, where an estimated 150 people were gathered for a football game. While children and their parents hid under the bleachers, police fatally shot the gunman.
The Sheriff's Office is investigating the shooting, and the Issaquah officers involved in the have been placed on paid administrative leave.

Should a Skyscraper's Spire Count Towards Its Total Height?
It's a hotly contested issue amongst architects and designers. Does a building's height stop at the highest usable floor, or should the spire above it count, too? What's the difference between a spire and an antenna? Does it really matter? Well, it does to the developer of the 1,776-foot-tall Freedom Tower. »

Electric Paris
Sat, Feb 16 - Sun, Apr 7, 2013

Venue: Sterling and Francine Clark Art Institute

Long before the widespread use of electricity, Paris had been known as "The City of Light" -- the name arose in the eighteenth century, when Enlightenment philosophers made Paris a center of ideas and metaphorical illumination. By the late nineteenth century, the term had come to be associated with "real" light in the artificially illuminated streets and boulevards of the French capital, and its showy spaces of public entertainment and leisure.
While these locations are familiar from the works of such artists as Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec and Pierre Bonnard, the different types of lighting that animate such outdoor spaces as well as commercial and private interiors at the time have never been considered in detail. This exhibition is the first to explore the ways in which artists depicted both older gas lighting and the newer electric illumination that began to supplant it around the turn of the twentieth century. Assembling images from both high art and popular culture, including paintings, prints, magazine illustrations, and photographs, the exhibition will demonstrate that lighting was a key aspect of the way in which Paris was defined as a modern city.
Curated by S. Hollis Clayson, Professor of Art History and Bergen Evans Professor in the Humanities at Northwestern University, Electric Paris draws primarily from the collection of the Clark and the Troob Family Foundation, with several key works lent by other institutions.

Astoria Favorites -- All Cuisines
I offer my long time faves below. I'd love to hear from others where the best chow is.
-- Elias Corner. Greek seafood, no menus, great atmosphere. Swordfish shish kabob, all items grilled and olive oiled. Get the chopped green salad with dill and feta, the cold marinated octopus, and the fried potatoes/zucchini/eggplant and you won't be sorry. Almost everything is a standout, so bring friends and also order the jumbo shrimp, fried whitebait, calamari, and the porgy. Only drawback: a very limited choice of wines.
-- Zenon Taverna. Also great Greek food, more classy setting, and with a Cypriot twist. We had my husband's 50th birthday party here with a large crowd, and had a wonderful time. We had arranged a reasonably priced spread to be put out, and the food just kept coming. The gracious host was concerned we hadn't eaten to capacity and send out extra treats on the house. My favorite lunch plate is the char-grilled zucchini and eggplant with skordalia.
-- Cevabdzinica Sarajevo. My first Bosnian restaurant and why would I go anywhere else? Everything we've ordered in our many visits has been delicious, even the "hamburger" and liver. Order a scoop of the fantastic cjaymak spread; it's is a cross between butter, cream, and sour cream. Most outstanding: the borek and the mixed grill.
-- Balkh. Best Afghan food in the city. You can eat in the outside garden, inside has rug covered walls. I love the salmon kebab. Under the el on 31st St., between Elias Corner and Ditmars.
-- Sabor Tropical (on Grand Ave). Neighborhood Brazilian. Grilled steak of course, with all the traditional topics and sides. Plus at least one caiparina. A fun family place.
Agnanti up on Ditmars near the Park does great Greek food, as does S'Agapo on 34th Avenue at 35th Street.
Michael's on Broadway is the best dinner, hands down.
Brick Cafe up on 31st Avenue at 33rd Street is higher end, but very nice.
El Sitio II, down on 36th Avenue at 31st Street is a hole-in-the-wall, but well worth the visit. Incredible Cuban food.
Tierras Columbianos- Columbian food- get their Grilled chicken dinner (comes with rice, beans, and plantains.) I'm craving it right now. It's really, really great. Never had anything else on the menu. Probably never will.
I'd second Elias Corner. I'm also partial to Taverna Cyclades on Dimars and 32nd. A relative newcomer thai called Wave Thai on 31st is pretty decent.
I'll agree with you on Sabor Tropical, but I think Malagueta (36th ave) is slightly better overall.
For Greek, my favorite has been Agnanti, but S'Agapo is great as well, if a bit overpriced.
I also enjoy Brick Cafe, a nice simple place for a date or romantic night out. The food is good, but nothing to blow you away.
Trattoria L'Incontro is my favorite place in the neighborhood, excellent and inspired Italian food, but it can be loud and it's often a pain getting seated, even if you have a reservation. It's not a traditional red-sauce place however, so that may deter some people.
Okay, I have to ask. What exactly is so great about Elias Corner for the past 5-7 years? I used to love it in the old days (across the street and when they first moved) but my semi-annual visits have yielded no fresher fish or better selection of fish than Kyclades (for example) with no sides worth even eating (not even the often unavailable chips), no good apps. at all, no bargain prices (actually they cost more than comparable places), no real charm... well, you get the idea.
re: Steve R
Ten years ago people were complaining Elias Corner wasn't as good as it was 5-7 years before. It sure musta been something back when it opened.
re: hatless
before it opened, it was really stratospheric.
Sabry's on Steinway, just off the GCP, for fresh bread, eggplant, fried calamari and insanely flavorful whole fish. I've feasted here with friends on many an evening and never spent more than $20 per person.
S'Agapo on 34th Avenue at 35th Street - amazing food, maybe a bit pricey, but it's very comparable in price to the other higher-end Greek restaurants in Astoria. Best meatballs (Keftedes) and Tzatziki I've found in Astoria - amazing appetizers across the board.
I still think Michael's on Broadway is the best comfort food in Astoria. So many options, generous portions, good, quality food, even if it is a diner and the staff are extremely friendly and accommodating.
Winegasm is a new addition, great meats and cheeses, great wine selection and some very nice mixed drinks. The Mac and Cheese (get it with bacon) melts in your mouth and will make you very happy.
Viva El Mariachi - best Mexican in the area, hands down. Best chips and salsa too.
Mojave - nice Southwestern - wonderful space, great margaritas.
Il Bambino - nice soups and paninis.

Paragraphs are so important to the construction of all writing projects that they deserve a little more attention. Here are some more tips on writing paragraphs:
Building a paragraph involves a lot more than just indenting once in a while. The drawing below illustrates how the paragraph works:
The illustration reveals that the three parts of the paragraph support one another: the specific evidence or details support the key ideas which, in turn, support the topic sentence. The illustration also shows the relative volume level: a well-developed paragraph has one topic sentence, several supporting ideas, and a lot of evidence. Do not infer from the illustration, however, the "ideal" organization of a paragraph: a topic sentence does not have to begin the paragraph (it may need to come at the end), and a supporting idea is followed by its specific evidence, not a second supporting idea.
The main idea here is that developing a paragraph involves strategy--it's not just throwing some sentences together. Make your writing stronger and more interesting by building better paragraphs.
