When should it be up?
I enjoyed listening to this and all your other youtube things that pop up haha. I play a Night Elf Druid on the Nordrassil Relm
anyways just wanted to say thanks and that I love your videos
visit my Blog
Oh and one other thing, In your other video you showed your copy of the world of warcraft magazine, I thought it sounded pretty cool and went and subscribed. What I'm wondering is will I get a copy of the first issue or has it already shipped?

Guess I should feel blessed we haven't had a decent druid healer in guild to show me this widening gap between priest and druids. I kinda feel your pain on the changes to holy, where we have become less versatile but I also see the need for tank and raid healing roles and the benefit of having specialization in our talents trees could provide to the overall variety and choice in the game, which I personally feel is worth the sacrifice. Unless we can define holy in some other way, like how we can define discipline as a damage prevention healer, then I think it'll be stuck as a raid heal specialist, but who knows what cata will bring.
I totally get your frustration over the gap between druids and priests, as well as the frustration over not being an efficient tank healer as holy (or an efficient raid healer as disc!). I, too, rolled my priest when BC came out, but that's after flirting with the class through out all of Vanilla. While I was a Shadow Priest for raiding during the vast majority of BC, I was absolutely in love with the way Holy Priests played. Unfortunately, all throughout BT, Hyjal, and Sunwell I was the only shadow priest in my guild, and one of four priests total. However, on off nights you would regularly find me healing any non-progression raids.
When Wrath hit I became dissatisfied with the class, for many of the same reasons you stated. COH was nerfed (although for good reason), and our tank healing capabilities were snatched away. I was pigeonholed into the role of raid healer and in-a-pinch tank healer. Should none of our holy paladins or our disc priest show up for a night, I would be forced to respec to Disc in order to fill that role, instead of being able to roll with my standard build. Mostly, the serendipity change killed efficient tank healing. /pout
Ulduar was boring, although not due to poor encounter design. I fell out of love with the class - a class I had been playing off-and-on throughout Vanilla and had been my main for the entirety of Burning Crusade. I assumed that the class being pigeonholed was the reason I didn't enjoy the fights, and was able to win a spot as a Shadow Priest in my guild at the time. Unfortunately, poor Shadow Priest scaling didn't make me feel any better about the class. Aside from gimmick fights like Hodir HM, I was completely unable to compete with our other casters. It felt like Sunwell all over, but instead of being told I'd never compete in a normal fight, but at least I brought a mana battery to the warlocks/hunters/healers, I was told "oh no, you CAN compete!"
Those two things lead me to my resto druid. At the start of TOC, with everything dropping Conquest badges, I made the switch. I missed the first two weeks, but have been happily tree-ing it up since then. The main thing that brought me to the druid class was the efficiency. Nearly haste capped, I make an amazing raid healer. But, more importantly, since I have points into both Empowered Touch and Living Seed (which are talented because Nourish makes for an amazing burst heal on someone who is dipping low when swiftmend is on cooldown), I can easily and efficiently fill the role of a tank healer.
I can't wait until Cataclysm where I can, hopefully, return to CoHing and Mind Flaying it up.
Speaking of enjoying the Blood Elf, you still owe us some finished elven eyebrows Aliena! "They will go down, they WILL go down". Many thanks for the video's, i'm almost willing to try a priest
i so love that drawing on your desk xD what is it?
Funny and true for me also . I ended up with a NE warrior in original WoW. Made a druid in BC that I have been playing since - an elf .Being the girl that I am I wanted to play an elf.
Why I play a Warrior: That is quite easy to answer http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=11578
Hell, men are so simple minded
Wer reitet so spät durch Nacht und Wind?
Es ist der Kodo mit seinem Rind.
I play a night elf resto druid and I abuse the healing meters on 25 toc twins. I abuse the meter so bad that the wow gods should strike me down. Guess they know I would just heal threw it. On this fight I put up healing numbers over 9k heals per second. I mostly use wild growth, Rejv, and a nourish every now and then. How bad have you abused the meters and what encounter was it on?
I remember my days as a priest fondly. That was way back in vanilla though so I have no clue of what is going on in priest camp these days.
Back then healing was all about efficiency. Some people disagreed with me and probably still do but I am sticking to my guns on this one. I boasted the greatest efficiency in my guild back then (yes I am bragging) and I often finished fights with a half full mana pool. My guild leader frowned on that arguing that if my mana pool was half full at the end of the raid I had not healed enough. I argued that emptying my pool for the sake of appearance was a waste of resources and that an group of healers healing efficiently could save many situations that they could not if they went all out. There is something awesome about saving the day (or attempt) in a raid by blowing your emergency mana.
Those where the days... well actually I like the way the game is now more but nostalgia is a powerful thing. I there is anything mechanically I would like to change now it would be making healing more about efficiency again... not to the point of needing healing rotations but you get the point.
I think your WoW development paths closely to mine. I broke my raiding teeth in Karazhan, as a Shadow Priest, since my main was a Rogue then and there were way, way too many Rogues. Also, the guild really needed a shackle/mana restore so our star hunter didn't have to play his Shadow Priest alt anymore.
Unfortunately, no one mentioned that the tailoring cloth was BIS or nearly so until t6, and that our raid leader thought shadow priests should be able to top the DPS meters even though our scaling was *terrible*. I made it to Hyjal before I was being sat because of my class.
I had originally rolled Priest to heal (for Deadmines) back in Vanilla. So in Wrath I decided to go full time healing, after my early flirtation with raid tanking on my warrior. Now, I'm raiding ICC, and beating our mainspec shadowpriest (and our GM) on the DPS meters using my hand-me-down Holy gear. Unfortunately, I don't get a chance to heal much anymore, because we have way too many healers at the moment. Oh well, Shadow is only the 3rd most annoying, twitchy DPS spec in the game and still has scaling issues imo...
As for class balance, it may be because our best Druid healer also went DPS (on his Hunter), but I've not noticed this imbalance with Druids. When I (and our other Holy Priest) go for Renew on fights like Putricide, we *murder* the competition on the meters. Murder. Not pretty. However, there are a lot of Renew-friendly (read: Druid Friendly) fights in ICC, so that is rather annoying. I'm not sure exactly what Blizzard is up to with healer balance, although I'm not sure they're so worried that Druids top meters all over the place. Maybe if we all start rerolling Druids...nah.
I do also miss being able to tank heal, and I think the Holy tree could use some work. You have to spend way too many talents on single spells, in my opinion. I want to see more talents like Blessed Resilience and Test of Faith, that benefit all or most of our spells in interesting ways. I think Holy *can* tank heal, just that you have to give up most of your raid healing talents to do it, and Disc is sitting right there saying "why would you want to tank heal as Holy when you could tank heal as me?"
I'd also have say our stories are quite similar, except I [i]started[/] as a priest and, tho I still play him, my main focus has gone to another character.
I first got into WoW back during vanilla a few months after my roommate at the time started. He had been a long time fan of D&D, EQ2 and the like so when WoW launched he jumped right on it. I had been working as a retail manager so I spent 50-60 hours working each week however ended up losing my job. With the abundance of time I had I was rather bored and kinda ticked my roommate didn't ever want to do anything. So, to remedy the situation, I got a trial account for WoW and started playing
He played a Night Elf warrior on US-Executus and I was rather persuaded to start a priest so I could, as you said Aliena, follow and heal is bum. What turned out to be a blessing in disguise, since he was already 60, I was forced to spend quite a bit of that time questing by myself. It was quite the journey though since I had never played a game like this, I had no idea of the mechanics behind it. Thankfully at the time, the top of our disc tree had improved wands which made leveling quite easier.
Finally hit 60 and was able to really start healing, which I must say....got boring after a while. When BC launched it was clear that priests were no longer the only "masters of healing." Shadow became quite raid viable. No we weren't topping the dps charts but we were still highly desired as we were simply mana batteries. While I had a couple alts, I was faithful to my priest all the way through Sunwell.
Lich King hit. I leveled up to 80 and decided to give healing another go. I had taken a break from the game for about 6 months and when I came back I of course didn't have a raiding position with my guild. That didn't bother me since I also wasn't as interested in raiding. Not that I don't enjoy the thrill of new content, but I simply didn't have the time or energy to sit 4 nights a week, 4 hours per night progressing through. Due to a series of misfortunes I was no longer speaking to my old roommate and, since he was the only reason I joined that server, I switched. On my new server I joined a more casual guild where I was quickly accepted since I had quite a history with the game and was able to help out. We wanted to start running heroics and maybe do a lil raiding but I quickly realized we had plenty of dps, not too many healers but enough to do 5mans with, but no tanks. This is what caused me to roll my paladin. I haven't given up completely on my priest, he is in mostly T9 gear (granted who isn't now) but my pally is certainly the one I spend most of my time on.
Very little unique perspective on actual content in this one. :-(
Since when did Tankspot become a playground to talk about whatever you wanted? Tankspot needs to focus on stuff that's useful, save the stories about vanilla for your guildmates and fanboys, not the front page.
this way.

I actually went to my priest when Blizz decided before WOTLK that the warlock needed the fix and eventually screwed that class so bad that they are just now recovering from those fixes...
Anyways, I jumped to healing on the priest
1st as holy/shadow and now as holy/disc (Disc=OP, but don't tell Blizz I said that!!
When I first started playing her, I was a little bummed that I wasn't able to 'compete' with EHPS with the shamans & druids ~ But she holds her own in raids now and when Disc, consistently is topping the meters ~ gogo bubbles FTW!
Just wanted to share my little history ~ LOVE the videos and I think you're awesome!

Gotta' love the Dragon Age Origins, almost any World of Warcraft player I have talked to has been referenced to the game or played the game. (So off topic)

Have you been following New York Fashion week? If not, no worries; us writers here at Lovelyish have been paying attention for you, and have the collections worth seeing. Check out the ones I liked best after the cut!
Theia was one of my favorite lines, and it had a supremely regal, 1920s feel but with a bada** twist that came from lots of metallics and sharp patterns. The collection was a perfect mix of elegant and edgy, and may be my favorite of the bunch. Naturally, the luxurious, McQueen-inspired dresses from Marchesa made my (and everyone else's) favorites list; expect to see them all over the red carpet soon. And while many of the shows featured darker colors, I especially liked Preen's use of color, florals and color blocking in a fall/winter collection.
What did you think of NYFW? What were some of your favorite looks?

Richard Wilson
English, 1713–1782
oil on canvas
81.2 x 146.5 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mr. Jeremiah J. Nolan
Along with Thomas Gainsborough, Richard Wilson helped shape the development of landscape painting in Britain, influencing artists like John Constable and J.M.W. Turner and their view of nature. Wilson's landscapes combine the natural elements of the English countryside with the light and atmo-spheric elements associated with the landscapes of Claude Lorrain and Nicolas Poussin. After studies with Thomas Wright in London, Wilson spent at least three years in Italy where he witnessed the Roman painting style firsthand. In Cock Tavern at Cheam, Wilson introduces a number of figures and cottage architecture into the composition as a means of exploring the relationship between man and nature. Here we see the artist's ability to bring together the real and ideal in the landscape, creating a scene that allows the Italianate style to thrive in the English countryside.

Legislator proposes 'keep right' driving law
Feb 26, 2013 | 9 Comments
By LAUREN GAMBINO
Of the Associated Press
SALEM — Frustrated by slow drivers who don't stay to the right, a state lawmaker has proposed a bill that would make it illegal to drive in the left lane of interstate highways unless passing another vehicle.
"If you're not passing, stay out of the left lane," said Sen. Ginny Burdick (D-Portland), the measure's sponsor. "It's really not that hard."
Burdick, who commutes to the Capitol daily, testified in support of the bill Monday before the Senate Business and Transportation Committee. She said the measure would improve traffic flow by clearing the left lane for drivers to safely overtake vehicles that are on the right.
The law would not apply when traffic is heavily congested.
Under the bill, drivers could face penalties of up to $1,000. But Burdick says the proposal's primary purpose is to educate drivers, not penalize them.
A handful of other states have keep-right laws on their books, including Washington, which Burdick pointed to as a model.
Burdick's bill would amend a current state law that she said is "vague and imprecise." The current law prohibits trailers, campers and trucks from driving in the left lane unless passing. The bill would expand this law to include all vehicles.
In 2012, Oregon state police troopers cited 125 drivers for left lane-related violations, according to police statistics.
In the same year, the Washington State Patrol stopped 14,241 drivers for left-lane violations. Of those stops, troopers ticketed 1,097 motorists, about 10 percent, according to Washington State police statistics.
"We treat this as an education issue rather than an enforcement issue," said Robert Calkins, a Washington State Patrol spokesman. He said there are some areas throughout the state where motorists can drive in the left lane. These spots are clearly marked by road signs.
"We treat this as an education issue rather than an enforcement issue," said Robert Calkins, a Washington State Patrol spokesman. He said motorists can drive in the left lane in some areas throughout the state. These spots are clearly marked by road signs.
The Oregon bill seemed to resonate with the committee members, who each had a story to tell about being stuck on Interstate 5 behind a slow-moving vehicle. But some had concerns.
"So will it make things better or worse?" committee Chairman Lee Beyer, D-Eugene, asked Ted Phillips, director of Oregon State Police Patrol Services.
Phillips laughed and said only that he has witnessed reckless driving resulting from drivers frustrated with slower vehicles in the left lane.
Committee member Fred Girod, R-Stayton, said he was worried the measure may negatively impact drivers like himself who use speed control during their daily commutes.
"The bill has nothing to do with how fast anybody's going," Burdick clarified. She said the bill's aim is strictly to keep the left lane open so drivers can easily and safely pass vehicles.
Burdick said the bill has received a lot of support already and hopes it will be up for a Senate floor vote soon.

I have read that police estimate that in any given situation about 80% of drivers travel at the correct speed for the conditions. Why not accept that? There will always be the occasional idiot, but most people use common sense.
There is never enough tax money to fund Oregon's lunatic spending. Hence, the legislature has morphed to tackle that problem.
Several years ago, all traffic fines were increased 50 -100% (and more), license and registration fees saw even more increases, as did permits for nearly every activity. But all this 'new money' wasn't enough to satisfy those feeding from the public trough (it never will be).
The solution, or so it seems, is to keep adding new ways to extract more money from the citizens. It's quite simple - pass more laws and collect more fines. This has been happening for some time, but we keep sending the same fools to Salem. And they spend most of their time figuring out how to screw the public out of more cash.
The real tragedy in this whole situation is the fact that none of this nonsense will stop until Oregonians send a strong message to Salem. Quit doing so much TO THE PEOPLE, and start doing something FOR them!
1. Those morons who have absolutely no clue that anyone else is on the streets with them. They just poke along, blissfully unaware that traffic is piling up behind them while they match their speed with the car to their right, having no idea that that car on the right is even there.
2. Those motorists who consider it their Christian duty to make sure everyone else drives 55 or less. Heck, if 55 saves lives, then 45 must save even more! And what better way to make sure everyone else follows the letter of the law than to block the traffic and limit everyone to 50 mph?
3. The terrified timid rabbit who has no business being behind the wheel at all, much less on a busy freeway. I just love it when I'm on the freeway doing 85 in Southern California and I come across some tourist from Oregon in a dirty camper doing exactly 55 on an 10-lane interstate.
While I know you have nowhere to be and are in no hurry to get there, many of the rest of us operate on tight schedules.
Do you think we need speed limits?
Nothing good comes from speeding. It's selfish behavior with dangerous consequences. For example if you go above 60 at night you will not be able to stop with the distance of what you can see within your lights (on low).
I would say your number two above is no better than a person driving full blast all the time.
This law won't work on multi-lane highways. There is already a law for being in the left lane compared to the right. This law would simply state we need only two lanes of traffic then because you will either be in the right, or passing on the left. (but not speeding to pass) btw....The moment you are not passing.... Well.. Then you must get back to the right.
Myself. I would vote no on the bill, since we already have a law that deals with it, just differently. Too many laws already.
Does anybody actually fall for this stuff?
It's another tax, plain and simple.
BTW: Excellent comment Don Dix, you took the words right out of my mouth.

We decided on a one stop strategy today and with the new tyres I felt that the grip was much higher than before but I knew that it would be difficult to get the time back. We tried something different and you never know; had it rained in the middle of the race we could have been well-placed to take advantage. It is good to finish the race without any mistakes, even if eighth place isn't what we were hoping for this weekend; it's also a shame that Kimi didn't finish the race, but we go to Monza hopeful of better things."
Kimi Raikkonen: "I had a brake failure so there was really no point in trying to continue. We both got good starts off the line but there wasn't enough space into the first corner where I went over the kerb and lost some time, but after that I was pushing as hard as I could. There were some brake issues at the beginning of the race but we were managing them and it was going okay until we had to retire. We've finished a lot of races and had some good reliability; one day your luck has to run out and today was that day."
Force India:
Adrian Sutil: "An interesting and exciting race, and it's good to come away with two points. At the start I didn't make the best getaway and lost a few places, but after that I settled into the race and was able to get ahead of a few cars and move into the top ten. I always enjoy driving here at Spa and I had some exciting overtaking moves today, which felt very nice. The two-stop strategy was the best way to go and it worked out well because I think we achieved the maximum that was available to us. We are still in a close fight with McLaren so it was important to get back in the points today after a couple of tough races."
Paul di Resta: "I got a lot of wheel-spin at the start of the race and was down in about tenth place going into turn one, but during the first lap I managed to recover to seventh. After the second pit stop I was racing closely with Adrian and there was a train of four cars battling as we went into the final chicane. Pastor [Maldonado] went in deep and missed the apex so I tried to get the cut-back and was going around the outside of him. He then decided to try and enter the pit lane, which was impossible given his track position. As a result he hit me, which took the rear corner off my car. It's a real shame because the speed was quite strong today and I think there was definitely a point or two up for grabs."
Toro Rosso:
Daniel Ricciardo: "It was nice to get that point! We ran a long first stint on the Hards and I think that helped us build a good base to have a strong pace in the final stints on the Medium. I felt much more comfortable on the Option tyre and that's when my race really started. With the last set of tyres I was knocking out maybe ten or so qualifying laps and managed to pick off some cars in front to bring home that crucial point. We knew we had to move on from yesterday. I had said that starting where we were, getting in the points would be good, so I'm happy with that and with the pace we showed while fighting to get there."
Jean-Eric Vergne: "I think we could have done a bit better than this twelfth place, because my pace was good until the final stint when I had a slow puncture almost right from the start of it, which meant my performance dropped off. I managed to get past Hulkenberg with an exciting move, but I could not close to Perez ahead of me and then my team-mate Daniel came up behind me on new tyres. It was hard for me to be competitive therefore in the final stint. A bit of a weekend to forget as it could have ended so much better, if we had not made a mistake in qualifying, but at least when things were going well it seems that our car has picked up some speed that was lacking just before the break."
Nico Hulkenberg: "I was able to improve a couple of positions at the start. It was tight but I managed quite well. I had a good first lap, but the pace was missing pretty much from the beginning. The car was difficult to drive. We were lacking a good balance throughout the whole weekend and during the race, and the tyres started to go off pretty quickly. We had to pit earlier than planned. Overall, we were simply missing speed today."
Esteban Gutierrez: "From where I started I had to make progress and be clever about how much I could push. It was a matter of finding the right balance between pushing and taking care of the tyres, and I found that balance pretty well. I just focused on being as quick as possible, trying to manage the tyres well and getting the most out of the car. We lost a lot of time in the first stint with the traffic I encountered as I was coming from the back of the field. The strategy we planed was not ideal, so we had to change it and that still wasn't perfect. I totally respect the FIA 's decision to penalise me for overtaking Pastor, but I don't agree with the penalty. To be able to fight and to extract the maximum today is good to know. Now we have to improve in qualifying, because I think with the pace we have we can still fight for the top 10."

Motor Boat on the Water Christmas Ornaments
Personalized Christmas Ornament
On a river, lake, or on the sea, a ride in a motor boat is a great way to spend a sunny day. With a motor boat, fishing, waterskiing, swimming, sunbathing, or just bouncing along the waves are all possible. This red, white and blue power boat zips over sparkling blue waves, painted to show the multicolor blue of the waves and glittered to remind you of what the water looks like with the sun glinting off the surface. A personalized motor boat ornament is a great gift for the guy who takes his boat out every weekend and lives for the summertime when the lake or ocean are his home away from home, getting a tan as he zips through the river currents going upstream.

Should parents be prosecuted if their kids miss too much school? Or is that going too far? Post a comment in this story, comment on WTOP's Facebook Page or use #WTOP on Twitter.
WASHINGTON - Parents could be charged if children miss too many school days under a bill proposed by a District of Columbia councilmember.
The bill was proposed Tuesday by Council member David A. Catania. The Washington Post reports the proposal calls for the Attorney General to prosecute parents if their child has 20 or more unexcused absences in a year. Four of the 13 members of the council are co-sponsoring the plan.
Parents would receive written warnings after 10 unexcused absences.
Catania says chronic truancy is child abuse and a crisis in the district. He says the district already has a rarely enforced elementary school law that can lead to up to five days in jail. Under Catania's bill, parents could be sentenced to parenting classes or community service.

The best park in London!
There are loads more than five dinosaurs at the park! I even saw a tortoise sunbathing on a rock near there, as well as all kinds of interesting birds and other wildlife. The old part of the train station is a marvel and the maze is just the right challenge for kids. Add in a small zoo/farm, an abandoned railway tunnel and the remains of the finest exhbition this country has ever produced, and I can't think of any reasons why people wouldn't come here.
We live nearby and I must say this is the best park I've ever been too!!! My 4 year old loves it and it's free!!! Great day out enjoyed by all! Lovely cafe too and the dinosaurs are great!!!

In addition to hyperspectral imaging data, the Product Definer collects data about objects' fluorescence. The images are saved, creating a spectral library of objects' unique signatures and fingerprints.
Collecting this data expands Key's knowledge base and fuels the development of new sorting solutions.

New Mercedes recruit Paddy Lowe will return to the Formula One paddock at the British Grand Prix, according to a report.
Lowe quit as McLaren technical director earlier this year to take up the position of executive director (technical) at Mercedes.
He was initially expected to remain on gardening leave until the end of the season, but McLaren agreed to release him early, which paved the way for him to start working at Brackley on June 3.
Autosport reports that Lowe will make his first appearance for Mercedes in the paddock at Silverstone this weekend.
Although he has been given the title of executive director (technical), team principal Ross Brawn has admitted that they still have to define Lowe's role, saying they still have "to find the best way of using Paddy immediately".
While his immediate future is unclear, Autosport adds that "Lowe is expected to eventually move in to a team principal role when Brawn eventually decides to retire".

Edwardian Suffragette Pendant
Emerging during earlier 19th century and gaining force till the early years of the 20th century was the movement to allow women the right to vote. America and most of the countries on the Continent (with the exception of Finland) continued with this disenfranchisement of suffrage. Those who allied and supported the idea of granting the right to vote to women were referred to as suffragettes. A number of groups sprang up in defense of this cause. In 1903 the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) was formed to take action into their own hands with the motto of "Deeds not Words". The official colors of the organization were purple which represented dignity, white stood for purity and green symbolized hope.
Superior craftsmanship is the vanguard for this magnificent 18k yellow gold and silver pendant. The focal point is a round faceted natural amethyst of approximately 8 carats and 13 mm in diameter. Deeply hued, the color is actually a tad bit darker in person than illustrated by our photographs. Enclosing the lush gem is a surround of white enamel with tiny dots with a green and white enameled perimeter with seven (7) old mine cut diamonds set in silver. The bale fitting is set with three (3) additional old mine cut diamonds which brings the total estimated weight of the ten (10) white diamonds to .69 carats. The pendant is accompanied with a modern fine rolo chain of 18k white gold.
Date: Circa 1910.
Measurements: Pendant is 1-1/4 of an inch (3.2 cm) in length including bale by 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter. Chain is 23 inches (58.4 cm) in total length. Weight of 13.6 grams (8.7 dwt) for pendant and chain.
Condition: Very fine; a tiny restoration to one area of white enamel which is barely visible even with magnification.
Origin: Most likely English.
Note 1: Stones were not removed to preserve the integrity of the setting. All weights are approximated by measurement and formula and may vary from actual weights.
Note 2: There was a good deal of jewelry decorated with this color scheme during the Edwardian period as gems such as amethyst, diamonds and peridot were quite in vogue. Consequently, not all jewels with this specific color scheme can be referred to as "suffragette jewelry" .

I don't use an electric mixer very often because I usually whisk my cake batters, mix my doughs with a spoon and knead my bread doughs by hand. I appreciate the manual method because it allows me to really feel what my dough's doing and get a good idea of how thick it is. Could this possibly be the baking equivalent of a cyclist riding a fixed gear or driving a stick instead of an automatic? Having a good feel of where your dough is going is all fine and good but there are other times when an electric mixer can really come in handy and is actually essential in your kitchen, such as when you really want to make sure the fats and water-based liquids in your dough are mixed well before adding flour. Read on to see how the Viking 5-Speed Mixer stacks up.
When baking with margarine, avoid tub margarine and always use stick margarine or Vegan Butter. Tub margarine contains extra water for easier spreadability. This is great for things like toast but can negatively affect your baked items due to it's lower fat content and higher water content. Stick margarine still contains more water than butter in most cases but will result in better performance than tub margarine, especailly in things like puff pastries, pie crusts and tart crusts.
I have an obsession with sprouting grains and legumes. I think it's related to my obsession of inviting nature take its sweet time to process your raw ingredients in it's own special way. Sprouting instead of cooking has many advantages if you have the roughly three days to spare. Supplanting puréed sprouted grains for some or all of your flour is also a great way to make hearty breads.
So now that you're making your own bread, or at least enjoying your favorite tasty bread to the fullest, how do you store it so it's as good as possible for as long as possible? I've seen it all in bread storage schemes. Bread stored in paper bags, in the freezer, in the refrigerator; I remember a friend who's Mom stored even it in the microwave oven, using it as a makeshift bread box. The question of how to best store bread is difficult to answer. This is because it depends on what your goal is: Are you planning on keeping high quality bread as fresh as possible for a few days so it can be used for the next chowdown with minimal staling? Are you just trying to squeeze maximum longevity of your sandwich bread to it can be used up before it starts to mold?
Written by Mattie 2
Having a wild yeast starter (also known as a sourdough starter) in your possession can lead to a whole new wold of fascinating flavors and food experiences. Everything from breads, pancakes, quick breads to pizza crusts can be made with wild yeasted dough, which has no need for commercial bread yeasts. Think of it as your magic little dough friend that's actually alive, waiting to morph into and enhance whatever you introduce it to.
I like to advocate most things in moderation, which obviously includes vegan baked goods. Sweets are in no way, shape or form a part of a healthy diet. Even if you take the sugar completely out of baked goods, the refined flour alone will probably spike your blood sugar to unhealthy levels. That said, sweets sure are fun to eat every once in awhile aren't they? I believe there are certain food products that don't apply to the everything in moderation mantra and they should be avoided as much as possible. These unhealthy food products can usually easily be substituted by other products that are less detrimental to health, with virtually no reduction in the quality of the baked item. If we can do this, then why the heck not? What food products am I talking about? Partially hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup come to mind. Recently there has been talk of a new food product that might need to be added to this list: agave syrup.
The concept of reading words and numbers and using them to direct you to make something to eat is a strange thing. This simple list of directions is often the only companion you have in your quest to replicate what the original baker created. It's a good thing she meticulously listed all of the ingredients, their measures and thoroughly described all of the steps in an easy to follow manner. Or did she? If we were to go back in time a little over a hundred years or earlier, we would need a large heaping spoonful of luck for many of our recipes to turn out as they were intended. Luckily, recipe writing has evolved. Read on to find out how to write a recipe so it's interpreted in a clear, fun and informative way.
Your baked items are only as good as your ingredients. I'm unaware of a single case where this isn't true. It's one of the reasons I stopped using tofu in my recipes years ago, although there are certain rare occasions where it shines. Plain yogurt provides a great way to add complex flavor and introduce mild binding properties to your recipe. It's not going to bind as much as an egg, but in things like cakes, pancakes and muffins you don't need powerful egg replacers anyway. Read on for my review of the top four plain vegan yogurts currently on the US market.

In The Americas With David Yetman showcases the landscapes, peoples and history of North America and South America — from the frigid, glacier-carved barrens of northern Canada to the tip of Tierra del Fuego in Chile.
Day of the Dead: A Mexican Celebration
Many Native American groups in pre-Conquest Mexico celebrated one day each year when their deceased ancestors would return to visit them-El Dia de los Muertos. This ancient tradition has become the state of Oaxaca's most important celebration. Parades, home altars, and gaily-decorated graves welcome back the dead. The custom has spread throughout Mexico and even to Los Angeles and Tucson.
In The Mouth of the Amazon
The Brazilian city of Belem at the mouth of the Amazon is a showcase of products from the great river basin. Now the famed acai berry is expanding Belem's reputation. Reclusive river people, called ribeirinhos harvest the berries by climbing the tall palms where they grow and rush the produce by boat to the port. There they trade for other goods, and quickly escape the city to return to their tranquil, timeless lives at the edge of the world's greatest river. Host David Yetman takes us through Belem and visits the homes of the river people.
The Pride of Guatemala: Tikal of the Mayas
Over two thousand years ago Mayas undertook construction of a city deep within the jungles of the Peten region of Guatemala. For over a thousand years the city of Tikal dominated the countryside and the region with its towering temples, affluent society, and hosts of scientists, engineers, and craftsmen. Host David Yetman accompanies archaeologists who explain the unfolding story of Tikal as new discoveries emerge a daily basis. Yetman visits new excavations within the temples and joins a festival at the home of Maya descendants who live not far away from the ancient site.
The Working Coast of British Columbia
The Georgia Straits of coastal British Columbia, Canada are dotted with hundreds of islands. This is lumber and fishing county nearly free of roads. One cargo ship delivers heavy equipment and supplies to remote camps, and takes on passengers to view the wild beauty of the straits and inlets, with towering peaks and glaciers overlooking the sea.
Brazil: The Diamond Range
Far inland from the tropical beaches of Brazil's Bahia state lies an ancient escarpment that juts up into Bahia's vast interior. Host David Yetman takes us on a tour of the Chapada Diamantina, once a rich source of diamonds, now an increasingly popular recreational region. The sheer cliffs and steep mountainsides intercept moisture from the distant Atlantic. The resultant rainfall brings flows into the arid sertao and waters the great swamp where runaway slaves hid from their owners.
Peru: A Train to the Clouds
Once each month a train departs the coastal mega city of Lima, Peru, bound for the highlands. Along the way the railroad passes through numerous tunnels and over trestles, crowning out at nearly 16,000 feet elevation. Host Dave Yetman hops on the train to arrive at its destination, the indigenous city of Huancayo, high on the Altiplano of the Andes and as different from Lima as any two cities in the world.
Hawaii's Big Island: The Volcanos' Gifts
The Hawaiian Islands owe their existence to a volcanic hotspot, whose spewings over millions of years have created the archipelago. Host David Yetman climbs over old and new lava flows to observe new lands emerging from the ocean. At night manta rays flock to the newly created seafloor of the Kona Coast.
Chiloe and Chilotes: Proud Islanders of Chile
Chiloe is the second largest island in South America and just one island of an archipelago of southern Chile. Chilotes, as the residents are known, consider themselves a people apart, a proud mixture of indigenous and Hispanic origins. Host Dave Yetman joins Chilotes who demonstrate the traditions of food, towns, and society that extend back well before the arrival of Europeans.
The Cry for Mexican Independence
On September 16 each year, Mexicans from all parts of the Republic flock to the small city of Dolores Hidalgo, Guanajuato to commemorate the "Grito," the call for independence from Spain. The grito's originator, the popular but unconventional priest Miguel Hidalgo, issued the call in 1810 from the steps of the town's stately church. The annual celebration involves the entire community but we are offered a special tour by one of Father Hidalgo's descendants.

The annual celebration involves the entire community but we are offered a special tour by one of Father Hidalgo's descendants.
Peru: People of the Altiplano
Indians outnumber non-Indians in the Peruvian highlands. Many of them, in cities such as Ayacucho, Huancavelica, and Huancayo and hosts of villages continue to farm and produce handicrafts much as their ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Now they use cell phones and the Internet, but their native dress and languages and their nearness to the soil help them maintain their identity as a people apart. Host Dave Yetman meets Quechua people and learns from them about their fascinating past and present.

Paula's Choice Customer Reviewsnice fragrance doesn't seem to block pores - 11/29/2014 10:23:48 AM Only downside..it pours out of bottle quickly. Redness is calmed down and it seems to work quickly..good stuff..great priceLight like water but heavy duty - 11/14/2014 8:52:05 PM Keep my pores clean and breakouts at bay. Feels like water on the skin. Slight acid scent. Price is reasonable. I use it every night when I don't use a exfoliating serum. It's a must if you care about your skin.You need this. - 11/14/2014 8:49:00 PM If you are into anti aging and you have combination to oily skin, you need this. Even if you have combination to dry skincare, this is still a very good serum for those hot summer morning. It's super light in texture. It is the lightest serum Ive ever used. It gets absorbed instantly and makes my skin very comfortable. It's a tiny tube but it is also cheaper than most of the anti aging serum out there. I love Paula's products and this is one of their best.made my skin glow! - 10/9/2014 10:23:55 AM I received a sample of this product, and can say that after the first use, my skin was glowing. I applied at night, and woke up to smooth, soft skin. It really made a difference in the appearance/texture of my skin. I'm ordering the full size today and plan to alternate this with my retin a at night time. I am so glad I got the sample of this!Works! - 8/23/2014 8:53:27 AM Have only been using on my nose because was afraid would be too harsh, and that is where I needed it. Worked in days ! Pores definitely smaller and did not dry out skin. May be brave enough to use elsewhere after reading other reviews.Love it! - 7/7/2014 1:33:26 PM I've been using this under my tinted sunscreen by SkinCeuticals and it works like a primer, treatment and moisturizer. I have large pores and my skin was breaking out. Now I'm clear and people say I look 20 years younger than I am! And it's a great value!Feels like a Serum - 6/25/2014 9:10:58 PM I did not realizing how much this was doing until I did not use it one day. Had used only my regular serum and moisturizer and within an hour felt my skin was drier/tighter. I now use this everyday. Hydrates better than anything I have tried and the hydration lasts. Hydrating your skin is one of the best things to reduce signs of aging. I am an esthetician. Has Ferulic acid which protects your skin from the sun (another company that has ferulic acid charges $157 an ounce!) I splash this on and then apply my moisturizer while skin is damp. Sinks into skin, does not leave a residue, just feels calmed, hydrated. And another big benefit no perfume added!! (perfume is in most skincare and it is an irritant). I now use this on neck, declotte, arms, hands and see a big improvement. Could not afford to use a serum all over but this one I can afford to use it on other areas I want to protect. Love this product. It is much more like a serum than a toner. Highly recommend it!I am HOOKED! - 6/15/2014 12:20:18 PM The packaging said I would notice a difference after one nights use. I thought...Yeah, Right! But they were Right!! My skin was smoother and the texture was better after the first use. Even my husband commented that day about how good my skin looked...and he notices nothing:) I am a believer and now a loyal customer for life. I would recommend this product to everyone, but especially to those with adult acne. My pores are smaller and my skin less oily.Good product for clogged pores - 6/2/2014 11:39:39 AM My skin gets oilier with warmer weather. Which means breakouts and clogged pores. I use this at night.In the morning my face does not feel as oily. My face has not broken out as much. I will use all summer.Best I've Used - 5/16/2014 9:57:13 AM I have bought this product 3 times, having also tried several others including Peter Thomas Roth and Philosophy's Turbo C. I keep coming back to Paula's Choice. It immediately brightens my skin and it appears so much clearer. I don't break out from this, no rashes or stinging. I usually don't put much stock in outrageous claims about skin care products doing magic, but with this one I can see a difference after using it in the morning. After finishing the first bottle, I can definitely say my skin looked better in a number of ways pertaining to pores and fine lines. I will definitely continue purchasing this one.
