Why Stay At La Valencia
With its blend of Hollywood history and jaw-dropping views, La Valencia embodies the old-school elegance of La Jolla, San Diego's tony enclave tucked against a cove.
The Scoop
Its nickname has long been the Pink Lady, but La Jolla's La Valencia is anything but fussy. With its Mediterranean elegance, sweeping views, and steps-from-the-beach location, the hotel has been a local institution since it opened in 1926, when it attracted Hollywood types as well as World War II soldiers waiting to ship out. Today, the rosy hotel evokes two distinct eras: the compact hallways, black-and-white silver-screen-star photos, and petite chandeliers recall a bygone sensibility, but the property also offers a front-row seat to San Diego's posh enclave La Jolla, with bakeries, bookstores, and a Cartier boutique just across from the entrance. Recent additions are a brand new business center as well as fitness room for the health conscious. Many of the 112 tropically themed rooms feature balconies and all are outfitted with resort amenities such as complimentary Wi-Fi, high-end coffee makers, private bars and deluxe bath toiletries.
Insider Tips
Want to watch the waves lap the shore over dinner? Sit back at on-site signature La Sala Lounge's 7th floor terrace for al fresco dining on nouvelle American cuisine.
Design inspired by the hotel's own mid-20th century murals portraying French bohemian life and debuting its comfy albeit elegant European village style this fall is Café la Rue.

Why We Love La Jolla
While technically part of San Diego, La Jolla (pronounced la HOY-a) feels a little un-southern California: there's sun and sand, but no sprawl. The walkable streets in the Cove area are lined with shops, art galleries, and some of the best restaurants in San Diego.

On Sept. 4, I took both grandsons to Cole Bros. Circus. At 5 years and 3 years of age, they had quite an experience.
I have a couple of issues--not with the circus, but the letter to editor on Sept. 5 about circus animal abuse ["Circus animals no better off than Vick's dogs"]. Our family witnessed no such abuse. From dogs to tigers, ponies to elephants, all received proper handling, and were rewarded with fresh bananas, carrots, etc., after each act. I am familiar with what a bullhook can do to elephants, and none showed fright or were dirty or mistreated. Furthermore, no act was too strenuous.
I also thought The Free Lance-Star showed poor judgment in running the letter between the two dates the circus was here. I'm sure the advertising department had no problem taking the circus's ad money for two weeks prior to the shows.
It was a wonderful show, well-presented, and family-oriented. All had a good time.

Arizona won the first three games of the series, mostly by coming from behind.
The Brewers prevented the sweep by roughing up Ian Kennedy (3-6) early with a string of two-strike hits and a second straight strong outing by Peralta (7-9)
Carlos Gomez hit a two-run single in the first inning and Jean Segura had three hits for Milwaukee, which ended a six-game losing streak to the Diamondbacks.
Miguel Montero homered for the second straight game, but Kennedy gave up four runs in the first two innings to remain stuck on 49 career wins for the seventh straight start.

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- The new online exchange where people can buy health insurance opens Tuesday. But advocates for those in Wisconsin who will be shopping for coverage say December 15th, not October 1st, is the date that concerns them the most.
That's when the deadline hits to get coverage beginning in January. That date is especially important for 92,000 people being forced off Wisconsin's BadgerCare Medicaid program at the end of the year. If they don't sign up for coverage through the exchange by Dec. 15, they will have no insurance at the start of next year.
Jon Peacock, research director for the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, says there could be a "big bottleneck" around that December deadline. Both he and state officials encourage people to start shopping for insurance early.

We are a nation of immigrants
Recently, I received from a friend in Iowa several forwarded emails regarding immigration. Usually she sends interesting humor or musical pieces. I was shocked at the racist and intolerant tone set in these. Some really sounded like the United States should be kept pure Aryan Christian (There's an oxymoron for you!). They were frightening but couched in sometimes humorous language. I wrote the following to my friend:
By Jesus L. Lopez
Within a year of the railroad's arrival in 1879, the population in east Las Vegas equaled that of west Las Vegas, and between the two communities there was great activity and bustling enterprise. As a result, businessmen in particular began to see the need for basic services which only a municipal government could provide.
There was also an alarming need for organized law enforcement, as mayhem and violence were becoming prevalent.
By Bob Moss
Now's the time for New Mexico residents with Medicare to check their health and drug coverage for 2015.
Medicare's open enrollment period runs from Oct. 15 until Dec. 7.
Open enrollment is the best time to make sure your health and drug plans still meet your individual needs, especially if you've had any changes in your health.
By now insurers should have notified you of any adjustments in your health or drug coverage or any changes in your out-of-pocket costs for next year.
Compiled by The Associated Press
The Journal Record on congratulating the newlyweds (Oct. 6):
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday said it would not hear any of the five same-sex marriage cases on appeal from lower courts. That means the decisions in those cases will stand.
The five cases, including Oklahoma's, stand in favor of same-sex marriage. More accurately, they stand in favor of equal treatment under the law.
We like the idea of tying teacher evaluations to growth their students demonstrate on state proficiency tests.
Teachers who manage to move their students forward by one grade level or better during a school year deserve to be recognized for that accomplishment. Similarly, teachers who aren't moving their students forward need to know that, and they need to be given an opportunity to change the way they're teaching so that they can get through to their students.
Probably for the rest of my life I will carry a certain amount of guiltfor things I thought and did in my childhood. Twelve years in a parochial school made a believer out of me.
Most of my scrapes came as the result of inappropriate laughter. Why was it permissible — and even encouraged — for elementary school kids to laugh, even to guffaw, when the teacher attempted humor, but never OK for me to try instigating some laughter on my own?
One of the feel-good features of living in the Meadow City is its diversity. For a small town, it's phenomenal the amount of activities and groups available.
And an important part of the equation is the willingness of groups to help out any way they can.

Deb Owen
Business Strategist. Brand-builder. Storyteller - Reinventing the Status QuoSUBSCRIBE
(It's Italian meaning 'the Way.')
Enlightening, empowering, and equipping aspiring and existing female entrepreneurs globally with the skills, insights and tools to start – and grow – a healthy, sustainable business. Business-building for women looking to stand out from the crowd, while making their business work for them. Writing, speaking, and consulting on the shift from the corporate-consumer culture to an entrepreneurial-creator culture based on purpose and service to your world.
The economic landscape has been shifting. Women have consistently been starting businesses at a higher rate than men for the last 20 years. Eschewing corporate politics, disinterested in climbing and clawing their way up the corporate ladder, or working long days without feeling the fulfillment they crave, women have been starting businesses aligned with personal values seeking freedom, flexibility, and independence.
We're creating a new culture. Willingly standing up to be authentic, to craft work around a life of depth and meaning, we're marching our souls, our great ideas, our bold vision out for the world to dissect, discuss, and sometimes ridicule. In short, we're changing the way business gets done.
But forging a new path doesn't come easy.
Entrepreneurs and creatives walk a different path, one filled with uncertainty, isolation, risk, and failure.
And yet, we do something that qualifies as sacred. We get back up. We dig in, excavate our strengths and gifts, and bridge the confidence gap with courage. We ride the rhymes and rhythms of possibility. We rethink. We rebuild. We recover. We begin again. We rise.
As corporations struggle facing the results of standardization and structure that squashes the very creativity and innovation required for growth, we've chosen a different way. We've chosen to move away from a corporate-consumer 'me-centric' model to an entrepreneurial-creator purpose-driven one. And we've chosen collaboration. We've chosen to do this thing…..together.
Deb Owen is founder of Percorso, LLC and debjowen.com. She's developed marketing strategies, provided creative direction and built brands in the consumer, business, and not-for-profit sectors.
Practiced at the art of innovation and pragmatics of turning strategy into action, Deb founded Percorso to help clients build healthy, sustainable businesses, matching strategies with creative elements that deliver profitable, effective, and replicable results.
Deb delivers results through close collaboration with clients, facilitating and managing the contributions of a diverse group of strategic thinkers and creative practitioners.
Deb also uses her learning & development background to design and deliver programs that give an organization or entrepreneur all the insights, skills, and tools needed to reinvent the status quo and experience business growth based on your own terms.
Deb has served at an eight-county regional economic development organization led by a former Lt. Governor. (Not just any Lt. Governor either. She soundly managed five state agencies that administered over $1 billion in programs.) Overseeing all marketing efforts, including brand development, online marketing, advertising, press relations, and alignment of communications with regional partners, she developed a vision and voice that created a cohesive region.
She's worked with military and civilian leaders in the Army and Navy, and a slew of others in state and national level government. She impacted a small, struggling, unknown, disjointed region by creating a unified, cohesive voice and implementing strategies that resulted in the establishment of a national presence.
Placements and mentions have included the Wall Street Journal, Boston Globe, Bloomberg Business, Chicago Tribune, amongst many others.
Deb has also worked for international multi-million dollar consumer electronics & telecommunications corporations, and served as a former director of a publishing firm.
She's run the gamut as creative director, communications director, and marketing strategist for multi-million dollar international corporations, and one-on-one with a large number of entrepreneurs and small business owners.
Spending a portion of her corporate life in learning & development, Deb designed and delivered a year long program based on the Toyota Production System after being trained at Toyota herself. So she understands the facets of operations of a successful corporate landscape — and knows how to design programs that work.
Deb was tapped by Carolyn Kepcher, formerly of the Trump Organization and the board room of the Apprentice, to write for a project called 'Work Her Way' alongside the likes of Bobbi Brown, of Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, and Cathie Black, CEO of Hearst Publications that publishes 'O' Magazine.
She is devoted to being a catalyst that enlightens, empowers, and equips women in their entrepreneurial endeavors and lives.

Publisher: Ishi Press Author: William Winter Year of Publication: 2009 (2nd)
Pages: 299 Notation Type: Descriptive (DN)
This is one of the great classics of chess literature. British Champion William Winter deeply annotates 50 games that were played in matches for the World Chess Championship, starting with the 1907 match between Lasker and Marshall and ending with the 1951 match between Botvinnk and Bronstein. Winter writes with authority about these famous games, because he was personally present when many of them were played. Winter met all but one of the players he writes about in this book and Winter played tournament games against most of the grandmasters discussed in this book. All 50 games have been translated into Algebraic Notation with Diagrams by Sam Sloan.

CC + GSoC: Integration is the Word
nathan, March 21st, 2011
Creative Commons is once again participating in the Google Summer of Code, an opportunity for students to spend the summer writing open source software. Students have the benefit of being mentored by established open source developers (we think ours are pretty good), and organizations develop their network of contributors. We've participated since 2006, with mixed success. Some projects go nowhere, while others, like last summer's work on the OpenOffice.org plugin, have far exceeded our expectations.
We have a lot of ideas, and this year we're looking for students interested in working on integrating Creative Commons into the larger ecosystem. Creative Commons licenses have revolutionized sharing on the web by reducing the friction between creators and users of work. We want to further reduce that friction by integrating CC license selection, display, and content discovery into other applications and tools. In the past we've had students develop extensions and add-ons for OpenOffice.org/LibreOffice, Drupal, WordPress, and Banshee. There's some good code there, and we love the work that's been done. We want this year's prospective students to think about what applications they use that could integrate CC license selection or — at least as importantly — content discovery. Use our existing code as a starting point for ideas, and craft your proposal to tell us how your project will integrate CC licensed content into users' daily life.
Not a student? We've started a hit list of applications on the wiki, and if we're missing your favorite, add it along with some thoughts about how you'd like to use CC.
I'm looking forward to a great GSoC this year, and can't wait to see the great ideas that come from students and the community!
One Response to "CC + GSoC: Integration is the Word"
[…] Nathan already mentioned, we will be once again participating in Google Summer of Code this year. GSOC can be a lot of fun, […]

Virgin Mary appears in Google's Iowa data center
Who needs religion in middle America when you have Google? Google executive Ken Patchett recently visited Council Bluffs, Iowa and received a hero's welcome. Patchett leads Google's effort to build a $600m data center in corn country, and the locals couldn't be happier to have him around - at least according to propaganda …
So nothing Google does is worth anything? Is that right?
Let me get this straight: During the building of the datacenter, Google will employ 'hundreds' of building-trade workers. After the datacenter's operational, it will provide 'three dozen' IT jobs (that didn't exist before) for, let me see, how many years? In a podunk little town that currently employs how many IT workers?
Why is this a reason for an extended sneer at Google?
Oh, you've got a book to peddle! Now I get it.
Having grown up in Iowa, I can tell you why The Register got so excited by Google doing anything there: young people are leaving the state in droves (myself included). The problem is getting so bad that the state is considering exempting people under 30 from state taxes, and tax breaks for companies that create new jobs in Iowa.
"Iowa suffered the fourth-greatest numerical loss in the nation in terms of emigrating college graduates in 1995 and 2000, according to a report by Iowa State University. Percentage-wise, only one state lost more college graduates between the ages of 25 and 39 than Iowa - North Dakota." - from http://media.www.dailyiowan.com/media/storage/paper599/news/2005/01/28/Opinions/TaxBreak.Plan.A.Start.Not.A.Panacea-844563.shtml
So, 1. the fact that anybody is bringing jobs to Iowa is newsworthy in that state, and 2. the fact that it's a high-tech company is also newsworthy. Due to derogatory news-reporting (such as that done by yourself), Iowa is stereotyped as 'corn country,' despite having one of the foremost research universities in the U.S. (IA State in Ames).
Say lay off the corn already. If you can't say something nice, go write about Washington D.C.
Apparently you haven't been to western Iowa lately...
Not to burst your rant, but 13 tech jobs in Western Iowa *is* a big deal. (anything that's not a $9/hr call center job is a big deal around here, though).
Define "podunk"...
Council Bluffs isn't a big city - it's about 60,000 people (quick Wiki check there, so take it for what it is) - but it's not really a podunk town. Especially when you consider that the drive to Omaha, Nebraska (pop. ~390,000, same source) involves driving across a bridge. So 30-odd jobs isn't going to make a meaningful economic difference in the long-term.
However, it's a serious morale boost and, if they leverage it right, could be good PR for convincing other companies to follow suit. (See, we've already got the infrastructure. If it's good enough for Google...)
People with college degrees have been leaving the midwest in droves for decades, and it's only getting worse. The general opinion is that every little bit helps.
Why all the bias?
Virtually every article I've read on El Reg in the past few months with anything to say about Google appears to always be protraying a biased and negative opinion of the firm.
Microsoft, Sun, Apple and other big-name firms consistantly get bashing too, I agree, but only apple seems to get anywhere near the bad press from ElReg that google does.
Why do I suspect someone either has a personal vendetta or is getting paid for all the consistantly biased articles?
Bleeding obvious
from the previous comments, it is clear that, outside the bubble universe of California, some other places in the US (especially those away from the coasts) have not had it nearly so good in the last decade.
here in SE Michigan, nearby Detroit would be ecstatic about a new datacenter. a large construction project like that would make many an unemployed worker salivate. the ripple effects of an expenditure of that magnitude in the local economy, will likely last longer than the project itself. the additional utility demands and recurring maintenance expenses will continue to contribute locally, long after the construction is completed.
even here in Ann Arbor (UMich), people were excited about the Google advertising facility that opened recently (not that many jobs there, actually).
California was, until very recently, the world's 7th largest economy (may still be), so the assumptions valid there are a special case, and the context in Iowa, or Michigan, is starkly different. perhaps that's why the big players are going to obscure places - because they get more cooperation there. Microsoft may be going to Siberia, which makes Iowa a rather conventional choice, actually.
the PH icon is for the distorted, bubble-universe perspective.
I dunno about you, but I'm with Blackly
Is anyone else tired of this over-hyped book? It's damn near as bad as Dr. Phil: Read my book! listen to my tapes! Watch my videos! Again in HD! Again on Blu-Ray!
30 Jobs now...
Google is a rapidly growing business diversifying into many arenas. What might be 30 jobs now for Iowa may turn into hundreds or thousands in future.
It makes sense for corporations to escape the big cities for so many obvious reasons it borders on a self-evident truth.
Over the last century industry has deserted the smaller towns. Many places outside urban America feel like they have been gutted and left to die. I am glad corporations are making a move in this direction. It not only shows financial responsibility but insight and social conscience.
Perhaps journalists looking to evoke a corporate pariah to bolster circulation could take heed of these values? I somehow doubt it.
that damn book
I'm with the others on this one. Ok Google may not be bringers of life and may have a large amount of smoke blown up their ass, but in a country where corporation is king, where jobs are thin on the ground and money has all but evaporated for many people, any news of jobs etc is wonderful. In pimping his fuckin new book (which i desire to read less and less the more its pimped at me) Ashlee Vance has basically used the Walmart effect to shit upon the efforts of Google. Google is a business and is in it for the money, lets not beat about the bush on that one. But lets face it, instead of bogging themselves down in some non-profit activities like cleaning lakes and sitting on chambers of commerce, they could have just bought a site, built a data centre and brought in their own experienced people.
No need to piss on the fire Vance.
Better than nothing
Surely a few jobs is better than none. In any case, it creates a piece of industry around which other industries can grow (logistics, cleaners etc)
"Google is teh D3V1L!"
Come on guys, are you trying to get a job for The Sun or something? No, google isn't the new saviour, but they will bring some help to an ailing community. Stop pushing books, start writing articles.
May be missing the point but
In a small community, an employer which takes on 30, reasonably well-paid people can be big news. Each of those jobs will have roll-on effects in terms of additional jobs created and furthermore a small town can attract other employers "hey - we're good enough for google" - AND local inhabitants can feel the warm glow of pride in their hearts.
Can we have a google icon for posts too?
The way I see it
either Google is actually trying to be nice and help out a community, or, more cynically and more likely, they are trying to get people to start thinking of that Do No Evil slogan again and using this as not only an opportunity to get a new datacentre, but also to make it look like they really care. Whichever it is, it doesn't really matter, because it clearly will impact the community. Whatever their motives, attacking Google skirts the fact that it's quite a good idea.
For once, I'm fully agreed with Blackly, stop blagging your book, I was quite interested in the basis of the article, but the content put me right off.
>We'd bring you more examples
"... of Google's coming generosity if only the reporter had bothered to dig up anything else substantial."
Erm, you're ripping off someone elses news story and then criticising the quality of it?
Why don't _you_ do the research, you're a reporter as well, aren't you?
There's been a stack of these deconstructions of the work of reporters for other papers, often it's "No comment" Orlowski so they don't get the response they deserve. About time you did your own reporting and stop worrying about what's written in other papers.
I agree with the author
You've all made reasonable points here, but from reading the article I didn't get the impression that the author was having a go at Google. They just seem to be criticising the prevalent view that Google are nice people, a view which I encounter every day. Because their products are generally quite good, people have a good impression of them as a business, whereas a company like Microsoft whose products are perceived to be generally quite poor are thought of as being nasty people. Like the author says, Google sell advertising - not an industry I consider to be particularly beneficial to humanity. I fully agree with criticism of the positive spin that's put on them expanding their core business; they're not doing it to be nice people, they're doing it to make more money from advertising, and I'm sure they couldn't give a flying monkey's about the residents of Iowa. I advise caution when defending companies like these.
Imported Employers are not Enough
My local town has been giving tax-breaks to big-box stores and warehousing/distribution centers to bring jobs and revenues to the area for the last 20 years or so. The local gov drools over the jobs and "prestige" and rests on its laurels after landing the big fish. It looks good because these businesses require a lot of labor but the jobs are low-skill.
When the tax deal expires the business moves leaving vacant buildings. As far as I can tell it hasn't really stimulated any significant local business development and certainly no tech jobs.
While the construction is a boon and 30 jobs for a rural community is positive, there's too little information to know what incentives were offered to Google or how the community plans to leverage this opportunity. If the community doesn't do something, they'll have 25 minimum-wage operator jobs and 5 management jobs. If that happens, it's not Google's fault.
Build a bridge
Get over it.
You don't have to read the subscript about Ashlee Vance's book. The book in question is Nick Carr's.
Get over yourselves, Vance's book has nothing to do with the article, but is contained in the footnote.
Re: I agree with the author
Same here.
The ripping that the likes of Apple and Google get in these pages is proportional to the amount of PR bullshit these companies use to try and pass themselves of as a fluffy pink altruistic hug-fest even though their CEOs are **mandated by law** to place profit above all other concerns. The only reason they'll clean a lake is if they think it will be more effective PR than doing a mailshot telling everyone how great they are.
That's fine, as long as people are aware of it and use Google's desire for a good public image to coerce them to do the things that the community itself wants.
It's not bias, just a proportional response.
I'm with Steve and Matthew
I'd punt a book here if I had one to sell!
And capitalism is about profit - any company doing anything nice is always about profit, not doing the nice thing.
The "Computers For Schools" scheme at Tesco? It's not about being nice, it's about getting you to keep shopping at Tesco instead of another shop.
Like Google cleaning the lake, it's a silver lining, but the sole motivation is more profit, not altruism.
I'm not saying that nothing good can come from capitalist enterprise, but that we should see it for what it is.
Next set of icons for El Reg
The Sergey and Larry angel/devil pair.
Google is good for economies of the present.
Even if it only takes thirty workers to plug the boards in to the servers the place itself will need a lot of maintainence. Any way you look at it this kind of infrastructure is a great boost to a sleepy rural community. In northern Colorado the no growthers like to keep our economy crawling by chasing all infrastructure dependant economic development downstream.
Re: Google is good for economies of the present.
You've forgotten about remote admin. The people _will_ be flown up from Atlanta, as necessary for depot repairs. No need for onsite techs here; they'd be too expensive. (Yet, there will be people onsite to tend the coolers.)
I chose the iHate.SJ icon for the anti-"reality distortion field". Google's a HUGE business now, not just some dorm room experiment from 10 years ago.
Re: So nothing Google does is worth anything? Is that right?
Hear here. The construction industry by definition lives on temporary and medium-term jobs, and datacentres of that magnitude don't pop up overnight. But let's not let that fact preclude a good old-fashioned Googlebashing.

Coffee needs non-dairy substitute for cream
I'd like to do a 2-week dairy challenge, to find out how spouse and I do without it.
The only area I foresee a problem is with our morning coffee. We use full fat cream in our coffee.
I could just give coffee up for 2 weeks and figure out what to do at that point should we decide we'd be better without cream in our diet, but my spouse can't imagine life without coffee, so I'm looking into what a good substitute would be.
What non-dairy cream replacement do you put in coffee that tastes the most like real cream to you?
re: soupkitten
Looked it up, it's a soy creamer, FOI. Looks like whole foods carries it, there's one not to far from us.
I'm with you, prefer just the flavor of coffee and cream, though the spouse does occasionally add a splash of "Dr B" in his. (That's Bailey's Irish Cream)
PS: I just ran across this person's comparison of several alternatives.
Taste being so subjective, I'll probably have to just take a whack at it and guess what we'd like best. If the dairy test /challenge reveals problems we'll probably have to experiment some. Just hoping to avoid an obvious "vile" option...
Supertaster likes the So Delicious french vanilla coconut milk creamer...
re: happybaker
I just learned there's coconut milk creamers. I thought it would be between almond milk and soy milk brands.
Oh, I guess there's rice milk versions, too, but they seem generally disliked from what I'm seeing.
I have no sweet tooth and don't care for the flavored coffee drinks, so the more plain the better. Most substitutions rarely taste like the original, so I usually try to forgo them, but I don't think the spouse will try this unless I find something as close to cow's milk cream as possible. Spouse doesn't drink many cups a day, but probably still qualifies as a coffeeholic! lol
have you tried DaVinci sugar free syrups? soooo many options there for flavor, and you only need a little. I really like the kahlua :) yummy
Gotta tell you, I too like the So Delicious Original creamer. Not a huge fan of flavored coffee unless the flavor comes from real liquor, and then I prefer that in black coffee.
re: Enso
the So Delicious original (unflavored) really is your best option. you might sense a teeny bit of coconut aroma or flavor from it, but it's the closest thing to dairy in terms of body & mouthfeel, and it won't separate. i don't do soy so i can't weigh in on that, but IMO almond milk does NOT work in coffee, and rice milk is way too thin & watery.
i've gone back to a splash of organic half & half in my morning cup - these days it's the only dairy i consume - but when i was 100% off it i used the So Delicious original creamer.
re: Enso
Just wanted to say that not all soy-milks are created equal!
I used plain (non flavored, non sweetened) Westsoy brand full-fat soy milk in coffee for years. The non-sweetened is key in my book. Also, none of this non-fat schtuff for me! It IS an acquired taste. It's good. But... it's not cream. A teeny tiny drop of real full fat creamy cream goodness still cannot be beat for flavor and mouth feel in my book.
Good luck!
Spouse thinks the soy product that got tossed was Silk. Wondering if there can be enough variation that another brand might work.
The So Delicious coconut is a possibility. It doesn't last long as we found we had to about double the amount we use to give a similar taste. There's a faint coconut aroma/taste that is tolerable, for us.
Wondering how the almond version would stack up for us...
Haven't used this in coffee, as I don't drink the stuff, but I like MimicCreme for other cream substitutions (like for making ice cream).
Rich's Coffee Rich often found in the kosher section at the grocery store
. As well some of the soy based milks do have creamers dairy free for coffee.
re: Ruthie789
RCR: I'll have to pass; the 2nd ingred. is corn syrup.
re: Enso
Here's the full list of ingredients, not an appealing read: WATER. CORN SYRUP, HYDROGENATED COCONUT OIL, CONTAINS LESS THAN 2% OF THE
re: Ruthie789
Black coffee. Seriously, I'd rather not live than give up half and half in my coffee. There must be one of the subs out there, almond, hemp, coconut or soy that has less deleterious to health stuff in it. Cutting out cream and replacing it with hydrogenated fats and corn syrup wouldn't be even number 100 on my list. YMMV.
re: SWISSAIRE
I just can't love black coffee nor espresso.
re: mcf
If you cannot eat cream and dairy and don`t like your coffee black what would be your recommendation? The substitutes available do not seem great in terms of ingredients, almond, soy, rice alternatives all have additional ingredients added to them including oils and sugars. The op is asking for suggestions to replace cream but when you actually go to find a replacement it is very difficult to find an alternative that you want to drink.
Here is what is in my unsweetened almond milk, natural almond base, calcium carbonate, sea salt, locust bean gum, sunflower lecithin, gellan gum, zinc glutonate, Vitamin A, B2, D2, B12.
Of all the soy milks, rice milks almond milks this was the one I could find that seemed the least intimidating. I spent some time at my health store yesterday and let me tell you it is not easy to find something that resembles the natural components of milk.
re: Ruthie789
First of all, they can, but are, for some reason, experimenting with no cream. Second, I listed a number of products, most of which do not contain mostly corn syrup and hydrogenated fats. I may be presumptuous here, but am guessing that maybe they're a tad health conscious. The ingredients you list for your product are not offensive nor unnatural. AFAIK, they're also not associated with increased risk of cardiovascular mortality they way Coffee Rich is.
If the OP were looking for something like the natural components of milk, then milk would be the best choice. What I'm getting at is that choosing something made from among the very worst ingredients out there just to get a particular taste and mouth feel is maybe not a very useful strategy. Just my opinion.
Maybe plain coconut milk? So Delicious makes a non dairy creamer from it, it has titanium dioxide, which is also used in toothpastes for color, but no other nasty things, AFAIK.
re: Ruthie789
I beg to differ with Ruthie789. If you take a look at the following link, I think you'll be pretty pleased with the ingredients in Mimiccreme's coffee creamer:
No added oils, sugars, or chemicals.
I have no connection with this company other than really enjoying their products, but you may want to take a look at their website and the nutrition facts/ingredients for their coffee creamers. Their unsweetened creamer is made up of the following:
Purified Water, Nut Blend* (Almonds & Cashews)*, Natural Flavorings, Sea Salt, Bicarbonate Soda.
They also have a sweetened version, as well as a sugar-free version with some sort of artificial sweetener, and those have a few more ingredients each, but generally more "healthy," vegan-y stuff. It's totally dairy-free, and kosher, for anyone who needs that (as I do).
re: queenscook
I am from Quebec I have not seen the product that you have mentionned here. I am trying a dairy free diet for health reasons and was not impressed with what I was seeing on labels. I did purchase a Silk almond milk which had the least ingredients added. I was not saying that all non dairy products are not good substitutes it takes some research to find what you need.
My Dad was using Rich Coffee Rich this is what they serve to patients in hospitals on gluten free diets and it is kosher. Your product sounds like a much better alternative.
re: Ruthie789
Ruthie, if health is your objective then Coffee Rich is an exceptionally bad choice. Unless allergic, switching to grass fed dairy products would be far healthier.
re: mcf
Thank you for the advice, I am not eating dairy over the next few weeks to see if I feel better. I do not drink Coffee Rich myself. I suggested it as they were looking for a substitute for cream. It was a suitable replacement for my 86 year old Dad who could not eat gluten. When sick some people have to make radical diet changes something like the product can just make the change easier. I do understand that you have a strong stance on nutrition and respect your level of knowledge and that you are able to apply it to your health and diet. In the case of the OP it is not always obvious why people want to make the dietary changes.
re: Ruthie789
I see your point, and if someone is 86 and hasn't got heart disease, it could be a compromise worth making. In literal terms, there's just no health benefit to using a nasty product in place of one not implicated in CVD. I'd cut carbs before dairy to see if I felt better first, but maybe you've already tried it?
re: mcf
Without going into detail, I have intolerances to dairy and that is why I am trying to see if I feel better without. My symptoms increased when I went to Quebec city and had a cheese platter. As well I went on a 1 week fast for my church fast last January and to my suprise was symptom free during the week.
re: Ruthie789
I have sporadic severe lactose intolerance for medical reasons, taking high potency probiotics (enteric coated ones from the fridge) and lactase with meals gets rid of it.
Of course, if it's allergy, that won't help. When you fasted, didn't you also cut out wheat/starch?
re: Ruthie789
I guess you can try a rotation diet type routine to figure it out. Hope you figure it out soon.
re: Ruthie789
I meant he had to be on a gluten free low protein diet re my Dad's restrictions.
I'm going to go out on a limb and make an unpopular suggestion. Just do without for 2 weeks. I quit coffee cream cold turkey last winter. I was sick of worrying about carbs in fake half and half and concerned about the sat fat in real cream. (I have to be concerned about both, unfortunately--and the calories.) But honestly, if you love coffee, you don't need the cream.
re: sueatmo
I love coffee, and I NEED the half and half. Saturated fat is one thing I never worry about, but I do buy half and half from pastured cows, very heart healthy.
re: mcf
I thought I needed it too. Turns out, I don't. Sometimes on a hot day, I take my afternoon carb break as a decaf, nonfat iced latte, so I have the milk in that. If I decide I want to drink an iced Americano, I'll add cream. But I don't need it for regular coffee. I can't believe how much I enjoy a cup without cream. I've drunk coffee with cream since 1970. Just this year I made the change.
re: sueatmo
I've tried it numerous times over the years, either due to temporary lactose intolerance or for experimentation. It's a buzz kill for me.
re: mcf
Neither my partner or I care for black coffee. And we don't care to do without coffee altogether, at this point anyway.
Cheese, butter, and yogurt are the only other dairy we consume, and those will be somewhat hard to do without, but not nearly as hard as the cream in coffee.
We can tolerate the coconut creamer sub. for the 2-week "intolerance/feel better challenge" I would like us to do. Or maybe we'll try coconut milk/cream. At this point, that's sufficient effort to get us through 2 weeks and based on what we learn, we'll go from there.
Hard to know the whole context, so I appreciate all the varied ideas, letting my know about products I wasn't aware of before. It's nice to have choices!
re: goodhealthgourmet
LOL... I've had people tell me "if you drink it black for three weeks, you'll never put cream in your coffee again." As IF. I gave up starch and sugars, but they'll have to pry the half and half and good coffee out of my cold, dead fingers. ;-)
re: sueatmo
I *have* to have cream! ;-)
I have an allergy to cow's milk, and I can't (okay, don't want to) function without my morning coffee. My go-to creamer is something I make myself so that I can better control quality of ingredients and avoid soy.
I take one can of Whole Foods 360 organic coconut milk, dump it in a blender, add a good squirt of raw organic agave nectar, then add one can's worth (use the empty coconut milk can) of almond milk or oat milk. Whir a bit and enjoy.
I have tried goat's milk, soy-based creamer, coconut-based creamer, non-dairy creamer (ick) and almond milk. This recipe is my favorite.
In the interest of full disclosure, my husband dislikes this concoction and uses straight almond milk in his coffee. I think he's nuts.
I am also giving no dairy a go. I have tried Silk Almond Milk in my coffee and as well went to Starbucks today and had a coffee with soya milk. I did not like the silk at all, once in the coffee, I had to keep stirring to keep the combination emulsified, some thing with the soya milk and the soya milk left some kind of sludge at the bottom of my cup. The soya milk tasted fine though, just not the same texture as cream. Has anyone used an alternative that does not separate to some extent?
re: Ruthie789
I don't think Mimiccreme separates, but I won't swear to it; I don't use it in coffee.
re: queenscook
I just found some at the health food store but the ones there are almond and cashew based, and for me a concern that is not neutral tasting, I did find an organic milk with an enzyme to remove lactase so now I am trying this.
As well tried coffee black today and quite frankly it was the best option so far.

MILWAUKEE (AP) -- Hollywood director David Zucker is returning to Wisconsin to help out the state tourism department.
He directed a winter tourism television spot last December, with the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra performing a concert and breaking into a snowball fight.
The new commercial will be shot in the Eagle River area starting Tuesday and will air next summer.
Zucker plans to feature a cast member from one of his biggest films. Zucker, Gov. Scott Walker and tourism officials are expected to announce the person on Monday.

The box truck driver involved in a fatal crash on Interstate 95 in February accepted a plea deal Tuesday.
Buenaventura Fernandez was sentenced to a $1,000 fine, 250 hours of community service, and had his license suspended six months. He was charged with careless driving.

Bethesda-area restaurant succeeding on word of mouth
- i
- ImaginaryGirl Aug 20, 2006 11:48 PM
Hi folks --
This may sound like an odd request, but here it goes anyway.
My book club always tries to be "thematic" with our foods, mixing food to book in some way. (For example, when we read "The Kite Runner," we went to an Afghani restaurant. When we read "The Queen's Fool," we made a Shabbat dinner. When we read "Deception Point," we ate cold foods. You get the point.) I'm in charge of this Friday night's book club discussion of Malcolm Gladwell's "The Tippint Point."
As the book discusses social epidemics and (among other things) the way huge trends are sparked by the word-of-mouth activities of Connectors (people who know tons of people), Mavens (people who know unbelievable amounts of information), and Salesmen (people who have innate qualities that make you trust the information and message they sell you), I thought that the best food option would be a restaurant that has become popular and trendy not by big advertising, but by word of mouth -- or a restaurant that is poised to be popular because of word-of-mouth.
Any suggestions on such a restaurant? I'm hoping for the general Bethesda area, and reasonable in price -- this is more about the discussion and friendship than an expensive dinner.
Not in Bethesda, but Joe's Noodle House?
Otherwise maybe Jaleo (though the DC one is better) - as I don't recall ever seeing any advertising for it.
re: ImaginaryGirl
Joe's seems to fit the bill fairly well, but you'll want to go in off hours, as it's not too big and does have some good traffic at peak times.
Rays the Classics, in Silver Spring, just opened across from the AFI theater. No advertising, no public relations company, just great word of mouth and great food. But reserve before the Post review comes out or you'll never get a table. If Silver Spring is too far from Bethesda, then boo-hoo for you.
Signed: ConnectorMavenSalesman
Man, your book groups sounds so cool!!!
I will third the recommendation of Joe's Noodle House in Rockville. They have one or two big round tables that would be perfect for a book discussion.
Ha! Your bookclub meetings sounds much like mine.
While it certainly isn't trendy, Houston's in Bethesda seems to fit the bill regarding word-of-mouth.
As far as I can tell, there's never been any advertising (and that goes for any of the locations), but the place is always full. Which makes me think it's a word-of-mouth thing....even if the first words were uttered a decade-plus ago.
In fact, I seem to remember hearing that the chain never even advertises when a new location opens, knowing that w-o-m will bring people in.
Thanks for the tips, everyone. We went to Joe's Noodle House, and it was fantastic! Some of the best Chinese food I've ever had -- it will definitely be my regular Chinese restaurant from now on. And, we got a round table, so it was perfect for discussion. I would not have known about this place but for y'all.

This is a nice certified organic RTD tea with no caffeine, very few (30) calories per serving and a strong tea flavor. Rooibos, or red tea, is a strong, almost vegetal tea leaf that isn't grassy in the least. It smells like fresh-brewed tea that's steeping in pot, and drinks clean and slightly sweet, with a tangy finish. Packaged in a 16-oz widemouth glass bottle with a classy label, this product is definitely worth a try for tea lovers who want to try something new.

text: Farage: People Who Call UKIP Racist are 'Cretinous' Print article Send a Tip by Nick Hallett 2 May 2014 post a comment UKIP leader Nigel Farage told a public meeting last night that people who describe his party as racist are "cretinous". Speaking to an audience of about 900 in Derby, he also accused the European Union of wanting to "homogenise" Europe, and hit back at critics of his party. The Derby Telegraph reports that Farage was greeted by about 50 far-left protesters outside the Riverside Centre in Derby. They chanted "Racist Nigel", but police reported no trouble as the UKIP leader entered the conference centre. Mr Farage made his visit hours after he was hit by an egg thrown by a protester in Nottingham. The Nottingham Post reports that 33-year-old Frederick Glenister has been charged in connection with the incident, and is due to appear before Nottingham magistrates on 22 May. In an earlier interview with the Derby Telegraph, Mr Farage said that the city's Toyota factory, a major employer in the area, would benefit if Britain left the EU. "Because of a whole series of agreements signed up to in Brussels, energy companies are paying between 15 and 20 percent more for their energy. "Only outside the EU can we bring down energy prices and give our manufacturing industries a chance to compete. "Leaving the EU would mean they would get cheaper energy. It would make them more competitive and maybe able to sell even more cars." He also criticised the city council's decision to spend £118,000 helping Eastern European immigrants learn English. "Speaking the language should be a prerequisite [for coming to live in Britain] and shouldn't be paid for by the British taxpayer." He added, however: "It shouldn't have to happen but it has because we have an open door to Eastern and Southern Europe."

Back to Breitbart TV
Texas has done so well economically, that in October 2013 TIME Magazine declared Texas was the country's future.
Grieder credits what she calls the "Texas model"—a limited government apparatus based on low taxes and low services—for the Lone Star State's economic success. Between June 2009 and June 2011, Texas created 40 percent of America's new net jobs. In that period, Texas saw a net population migration of 110,000 people—making it the fastest growing state in the country.
But the solid growth of the Texas economy didn't stop critics like Paul Krugman of The New York Times from attacking the data and dismissing the state's performance as myth.
"The critique of it I was really surprised by, especially when the country was not doing that well. I would think you would at least stop to check the numbers first," says Grieder, who believes criticism of the Texas model is rooted in negative political attitudes toward a state that is largely Republican. "People have this feeling of Texas, [that] it can't possibly be doing well. It's this sort of belligerent state, or not that smart of a state, or whatever their perceptions may be."
The state's explosive growth and changing demographics (Hispanics are expected tooutnumber the state's White population by 2020) have made Texas a valuable prize on the electoral map. Democrat strategists—and even President Barack Obama—have expressed the goal of turning Texas blue in coming election cycles. But Grieder doesn't think that change will come any time soon.
"So far we're not seeing the Democrats putting out the candidates or campaigns or really the message," she states. "The Republicans aren't either which is kind of interesting. Given how well the state has done I've been surprised how the state Republican Party in this last set of primaries is just focused on issues that nobody cares about."
While Grieder says she has seen a surprising resurgence of the religious right in the latest round of primaries, the turn toward the Christian conservative movement is not indicative of mainstream Texans.
"I think that a lot of Texas Republicans—a lot of Texans in general—are sort of quasi-libertarian or tacitly libertarian because of the issues they prioritize," says Grieder. "I think that the social conservative movement is intrinsically at odds with the libertarian side of the party, but if those issues aren't advanced from the social conservative side then you don't see that tension become so manifest."
"The media class is the wall that we have to climb over for our voices to be heard. Once our voices are heard, then democracy will happen."
