More than 50% of peace agreements fail within five years of signature. In part, this is because negotiations and accords often do not address the root causes of conflict or seek to prevent a resurgence of conflict. It is also because talks suffer from the absence of women. In 2010, the UN Development Fund for Women found that women comprise less than 10% of negotiators and less than 3% of the signatories to peace agreements.
In January 2011, The Institute for Inclusive Security convened twenty one experts from twenty countries to develop recommendations for advancing women's inclusion in mediation. They considered ways to increase the prevalence of female mediators, enhance communication and cooperation with women and civil society during negotiations, and to
augment attention to women's priorities and needs. Generally, they felt that mediators must ensure negotiations bring a broader, longer-term perspective to talks so that peace agreements endure; involving women will help ensure a focus on critical broader priorities and needs.

Quoted from the BTD Encyclopedia, pg. 342 Reduce your intake of oxalate from food as a way to reduce urinary oxalate. Although many foods contain oxalate, only a few appear to increase urinary oxalate. These foods are spinach, rhubarb, beet greens, nuts, chocolate, tea, bran, almonds, peanuts, and strawberries.
Quoted from Tom Martens I have one as we speak. It has moved into my bladder and now I have no symptoms.I am hypothesizing that I have been eating too much protein which is one of several causes of kidney stones.I can't give you any advice except to drink plenty of fluids
Quoted from Damon Do you know if you're dealing with uric acid stones or calcium stones? If they are uric acid stones, then supplementing malic acid should help a lot.
Quoted from Jane There was a long thread on them a while ago by Policychecker.Welcome back Golf and congrats on your second hole in one. I'm still playing on the small par 3. Maybe I'll graduate next year...lol. I've had 2 hole in ones there on holes that are very short, 70 or 80 yards. I'm usually thrilled to just get a couple of pars.Hope you feel better soon. I've heard that it's very painful.
Quoted from ABJoe Urinary Tract Protocol is the only other recommendation.
Quoted from md This seems to be a time of year when kidney stones make their presence. My husband had them several years ago, and that's what he was told by a nurse.My husband used to work with a Korean woman; and she told him that, in Korea, patients are told to go home and drink beer until the stone(s) pass.An accupuncturist told my husband that he could've caused them to break apart by his treatment---he didn't try it, so we don't know if it would work)The following is what was prescribed by our nutrition advisor for my husband's stones.1 gallon of water a day (can be part cleaver's tea)Pyridoxal 5 phosphate Magnesium citrate with B6 (this, he was supposed to take for the rest of his life to prevent them from returning)Potassium citrate (3 times a day, 3 hours apart---1 then 3 hours a 2nd one, then three hours later take the 3rd one with 1 pyridoxal 5 phosphate)Note: Our youngest son's coworker also had kidney stones recently.
Quoted from Victoria Hello Golf! https://mall.ppcserver.net/mm5.....mp;Category_Code=007Phyllanthus Niruri or Chanca Piedra (Breakstone) Chanca Piedra is a composite name, "chanca" meaning "to break" in Quechua and "piedra" meaning "stone" in Spanish. Chanca Piedra got its name because one of the outstanding qualities of this herb, according to Peruvians is to break up and expel both kidney stones and gall stones. It is believed to help stimulate the production of bile and to promote healthy liver and gall bladder function. It is also traditionally used to clear obstruction throughout the various internal organs of the body by promoting the elimination of mucous and stones. http://store.wholeworldbotanicals.com/Royal-Break-Stone-s/2.htmhttp://store.wholeworldbotanicals.com/Royal-Break-Stone-Kidney-Support-4oz-p/bkrx4.htmhttp://store.wholeworldbotanic.....-Caps-p/bkrvc120.htmThis herb may also be sold in one form or another at a good natural food store or found at various other sites on the internet.I have also heard of people using unsweetened lemon juice in water, drunk throughout the day. I don't know the quantities, but perhaps it is an idea you could research some more.
Quoted from 815 Anyone and I mean anyone who gets kidney stones gets them for one reason. You are dehydrated and not drinking enough water. 64 oz a day. I'm trying to gag down 48 oz a day. I come from a family of non water drinkers and my father got kidney stones. My sister hates water and just drinks coffee.. She got kidney stones...I gag down the water. I don't get kidney stones. Such a very simple cure and prevention. really.
Quoted from Golfzilla ... this is the most painful issue I have ever experienced
Quoted from ABJoe This about sums up the kidney stone issue... I've only had a very small one, but it was enough to let me know that I didn't want another...
Quoted from Victoria Warmest wishes for an "easy passage" and hope you know how great it is to see you around these parts.
Quoted from Lola get well soon are you following a swami?which dairy options do you get?the wrong dairy causes stone formations......have you done liver cleanses?
Quoted from Golfzilla I am willing to do whatever it takes, this is the most painful issue I have ever experienced Thanks for the confirmation as I have read this in several references...Cheers!

text: Nice spanked asses! This strict teacher lays down the law with some teen spanking on these naughty girls. One girl isn't even wearing panties so she takes the full force of that hand and paddle. She's really screaming when the smack down comes, she can't even help it. Those butt cheeks are spanked red, just as they should whenever a teen spanking is called for. In my opinion that should be all the time! I love it when girls getting spanked submit to my hand for some spanking discipline.

If you want to build contacts and market your business to potential customers without spending much money, joining a social media networking website such as Twitter could be the solution
The business world's equivalent of Facebook, these websites offer a free space to display your details and contact like-minded people. Penny Power, founder of the first UK social network for businesses, Ecademy (now known as Sunzu), explains how to use social networking sites effectively.
Penny Power (PP): "In the future businesses are going to be competing in a workplace with people who have learnt to communicate online. If firms don't learn how to, those people will be eating the food off their plate.
"In the 90s, Amazon and eBay created a whole new business model, and they are now wiping the floor with other retailers. It will be the same story for businesses that don't embrace social media. It is crucial to be found, and you just won't be unless you have links all over these social networks."
PP: "It increases your visibility on the internet. Social networking is an incredibly low-cost, efficient way of achieving a vast amount of new business, but it's not just about getting sales - it's about getting new ideas, finding suppliers and solving problems. On a social network you bump into people who can help you develop your business. Having a large network of online connections is also a fantastic way to distribute information to a lot of people fast."
PP: "Businesses can join most online social networks, create a basic profile, and search for contacts and exchange messages all for free. Beyond this there may be a cost to use services such as setting up blogs and posting adverts."
PP: "Set up a profile describing yourself, including both professional and personal information. It's about relationships first, commerce second. If your profile is purely business-orientated, it looks like you only want to sell and are not interested in other people.
"Read people's profiles and reply to them when they contact you. Send messages to people you think you may have something in common with. You should also ask people what they are working on and what they need help with. Offer advice and connections, and clearly explain what you need help with. Then contribute wherever you can to create visibility and show your desire to help."
PP: "The clearer you are about your expertise, the more influence you will have and the more people you can attract. By posting relevant links - and not just self-promoting ones - you will build a network of contacts who are trying to make a similar contribution to the business world.
"You need to have conversations with people. Share knowledge rather than promoting a product, as people will block you if they feel you are spamming them. Remember, it is called social networking for a reason - you are entering a social world where business happens. Financial success is the byproduct of what you do and must not be your only focus."

Sick spot, sick colors, sick piece. Nuff' said.
This dude is insane, one of my favorite writers hands down. It's almost impossible to take a ride on the CTA and not see EDEM sprayed on something, written on something, or carved into something. He is everywhere.
EDEM and ANKR
EDEM piece got buffed but you get the idea.
These are simply awesome.
MOEN is everywhere, Iv'e seen MOEN's tags and throw ups around all different parts of the city, this dude gets around.
This sweet piece just popped up a few days ago, by MUSH/MUSHY/MUSHROOM/whatever else he writes. The colors pop in these pieces, love it.
It's almost hard to walk around Chicago without seeing at least one of these. I totally dig the message, and the fact that you rarely see FORGIVE on a wall and pretty much always on a sidewalk definitely makes for a unique style.

You more or less have no choice but to go medieval on your computer when browsing through all of these atypical chainmail creations. For some odd reason, chainmail has made a major comeback these past few years. Fashion designers in particular have found an affinity for the material that once protected knights from blades and arrows.
Chainmail fashion is questionable at best but undoubtedly intriguing and daring. If you aren't into fashion there's still a ton of great things to see among all of these atypical chainmail creations. There are chainmail chess sets, carpets and even coasters. If you can't enough of the middle ages or if you just like quirky fashion then you are going to want to check out all of these quirky chainmail creations.

I have been hesitating on whether I should buy this brush considering the ridiculous price but eventually gave into its beauty. I was so excited because it matches my Anna Sui hand mirror. Anyways, the quality is amazing since it is made of both plastic and black boar bristles. The intricate detail is very gothic and pretty which I always expect from Anna Sui. Overall, it does a wonderful job of toning down the frizz and static in my hair. Because I love the brush so much, I take extra care of it hoping it will last.

i didn't buy this, i got the anna sui rat tail comb as a gift from a friend years ago, still using it today! more pricey than it looks but meh, how bad can an expensive comb be?
This brush was pretty pricey ($50 CDN before tax), but I got it while Sears had a sale - $10 off every $50 purchase... In terms of quality it's great! Sturdy and it really smooths out my over-dyed + damaged hair, without being too rough! And in terms of looks, like all Anna Sui products, it's soooo cute! Definitely would buy again should it break.
I bought this brush in 2003... and haven't looked back since. I don't use this everyday, about once a week if my hair is looking a bit frizzy, but it does it's job really well. As well as the fact that the brush itself is gothic and pretty, I totally love this brush! Anna Sui certainly has a winner with this one!

I have all Anna Sui hair brushes and they are the prettiest things. Period. It's expensive for a hair brush but I find it totally worth it. I'm a Anna Sui brand whore. The brush is very soft and combs very nicely. I love carrying them around, it looks so feminine and trendy.
Very expensive, but a BEAUTIFUL hair brush that's uncomparible...it's qualities are great =) However,after a couple brushes through my stubborn hair, it sort of snapped off one little bit on the bristle..but it's all good, since it's got tonnes left? But still, it look pretty weird with one missing! Umm..other than that, I really love this brush for it's sleek black and vintage-y look. i have practically all of anna sui's accessories, and this is definitely one of the top five favourites !!
I just bought myself the new foldable brush (can put in handbag). I love it!! It so pretty n feminine as always!! I also have the flat comb (the one with sharp tail).

This is a splurge item. I purchased this with a gift card some years back and it has really held up. I should also mention that it is gorgeous. It os completely black and decorsted with the sinature molded Anna Sui rose motif. I also bought the comb. It does a nice job on my hair and I think it will last me a long while.
To my great dismay it is getting harder and harder to find Anna Sui's great beauty products! I own this brush and am going to buy a back up soon. It is gorgeous AND utilitarian. I would imagine that it would not be suitable for those who have thick hair. I have thinning unruly curly hair and this brush is perfect for me. I love it!

I am trying to find some information on hybrid Caladium and Hippeastrum that Henry Nehrling and Theodore Mead created. Both were prominant horticulturists who lived in the Orlando area in the late 1800s/early 1900s. Both did a lot of hybridizing of amayrllis and caldadiums.
So does anyone know of any specific named hybrids either of them created ? Thanks ! Eric
Follow-Up Postings:
Are there any local nurseries that have been around for much of the time between that would have been interested in the plants and helped to grow them on for market? Did they ever export to European growers to access the markets there? Despite the two world wars a number of growers continued over the upheavals, or passed their particular treasures to 'safe hands' so they could restart. Growers in Holland, perhaps, or the Royal Horticultural Society in Britain may be able to give you better leads. Another place to post could be on the Australian forums as these are outdoor plants for many areas there - and they have long-established horticultural societies. Possibly also South Africa. Good luck. |

Primate Quotes (4 quotes)
I am entitled to say, if I like, that awareness exists in all the individual creatures on the planetworms, sea urchins, gnats, whales, subhuman primates, superprimate humans, the lot. I can say this because we do not know what we are talking about: consciousness is so much a total mystery for our own species that we cannot begin to guess about its existence in others.
Man is no new-begot child of the ape, bred of a struggle for existence upon brutish linesnor should the belief that such is his origin, oft dinned into his ears by scientists, influence his conduct. Were he to regard himself as an extremely ancient type, distinguished chiefly by the qualities of his mind, and to look upon the existing Primates as the failures of his line, as his misguided and brutish collaterals, rather than as his ancestors, I think it would be something gained for the ethical outlook of Homoand also it would be consistent with present knowledge.
One of the great commandments of science is, 'Mistrust arguments from authority'. (Scientists, being primates, and thus given to dominance hierarchies, of course do not always follow this commandment.)
Primates stand at a turning point in the course of evolution. Primates are to the biologist what viruses are to the biochemist. They can be analysed and partly understood according to the rules of a simpler discipline, but they also present another level of complexity: viruses are living chemicals, and primates are animals who love and hate and think.

Androgen Deprivation (ADT) can be an effective treatment for controlling prostate cancer for many years in most men. When ADT is no longer effective, you may be told that your cancer is "androgen-independent", "hormone-resistant", "hormone-refractory" or "castrate-resistant". The terms all have similar meaning. For consistency, we will refer to CRPC.
The nadir PSA is an important prognostic marker. Stewart, et al. concluded: "A PSA nadir of greater than 0.2 ng/mL, after 8 months of ADT given for postoperative or postradiation PSA failure, is significantly associated with prostate cancer specific mortality."[1]
When a prostate cancer patient becomes castrate resistant, the cancer journey becomes more involved. It requires more time devoted to treatment choices, treatment monitoring, and treatment side effects. It is important to investigate each treatment carefully so that you understand what to expect regarding signs of response, signs of failure, side-effects and potential drug interactions.
Our Insights article Empowerment In Advanced & Hormone Refractory PC provides many suggestions that may help you to get the most benefit from your treatment choices. The first suggestion is to review all medical records and keep a detailed log to allow you to correlate treatments with evidence of response and impact of side-effects. The article should help you understand how to identify and select the next treatment. It suggests ways to learn how to give the treatment the best chance of success and how to minimize side-effects. It may also help you deal with the emotional issues that you face along the way.
Is your cancer really CRPC?
The first step is to recheck the PSA value to verify that it is rising and also check the testosterone to verify a castrate level of less than 50ng/mL (1.725 nM/L) or preferably less than 20 ng/mL (0.69 nM/L). If your testosterone is not at castrate level, a change in the type of androgen deprivation or the frequency should be considered. If testosterone is at castrate level, your cancer should be restaged before selecting the next option.
How is CRPC restaged?
PSA is the most prominent laboratory marker but there are also tests like prostatic acid phosphatase (PAP), chromogranin-A (CGA), and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) tests that are useful in some patients. The chromogranin-A and NSE represent markers of neuroendocrine differentiation which may provide an indication of very aggressive disease.
Radiographic tests that are useful to detect metastases include bone scans, CAT scans, and MRI's. Most metastases occur in the bone (over 90% of patients with far advanced cancer will have bone metastases). The second most common site of metastases is in the lymph nodes. When lymph nodes are involved and able to be detected with CT and/or MRI testing, the most common locations are near the aorta, in the abdomen, deep in the pelvis, or in the chest.
What is Small Cell?
Elevation of chromogranin-A and NSE in the blood may result from an underlying small cell component to a patient's disease. Small cell prostate cancer should be considered in patients who do not respond to ADT, have high Gleason scores of 9-10, or have rapidly progressive disease. A biopsy of accessible lesions can be considered for confirmation. When small cell is confirmed treatment with chemotherapy regimens such as either cisplatin or carboplatin combined with etoposide may provide better results.
What about symptoms?
In evaluating your situation with your physician, you should be conscious of any symptoms. Is there pain or swelling of your extremities that could be edema from lymph node involvement? Are you experiencing appetite or weight loss, fatigue, or loss of energy? Prostate cancer symptoms in the CRPC disease state relate to either general elements related to tumor bulk (fatigue, loss of appetite, or weight loss), or symptoms of metastases to bone (bone pain).
What are the options if the PSA rises while on androgen deprivation?
It is important to understand that patients respond differently to different treatments. An effective treatment for some may provide no response for you and vice versa. Since some of the treatments below can first result in a short term PSA increase (flare), it is advisable to try a treatment for at least a couple of months. If you are not one who responds favorably or if you encounter intolerable side-effects, you should probably discontinue the treatment and try something else.
What secondary hormone manipulations can be considered?
- Antiandrogen administration – If an LHRH drug has been the only treatment, adding an antiandrogen (flutamide, bicalutamide, nilutamide) may provide a response by blocking the ability of the cancer cells to use the testosterone produced from the adrenal androgens.
- Antiandrogen withdrawal – If an antiandrogen has been used with or without an LHRH drug, a mutation of the androgen receptors may be allowing the antiandrogen to stimulate cancer growth. Discontinuing the antiandrogen may provide a favorable response. If successful, a different antiandrogen might also be tried.
See: Anti-androgen Withdrawal Response (AAWR).
Note: A similar withdrawal response may also result from discontinuing Megace if it has been used to reduce hot flashes. - Adrenal suppressants (ketoconazole, aminoglutethimide) block the production of androgens that are produced by the adrenal glands and further lower testosterone. A substantial number of patients will respond to ketoconazole, and sometimes for a long period of time. Note: Ketoconazole requires careful administration and monitoring because it alters the effect of many other medications.
See: High Dose Ketoconazole Plus Hydrocortisone (HDK+ HC) - Glucocorticoids (ex. dexamethasone, prednisone, hydrocortisone) produce some anti-angiogenesis activity and also suppress the pituitary's ACTH (adrenocorticotropic hormone), which leads to a suppression of adrenal androgens such as DHEA and androstenedione. Dexamethasone is a potent synthetic member of the glucocorticoid class of steroid drugs. It acts as an anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressant. It is 20 to 30 times more potent than the naturally occurring hormone cortisol and 4 to 5 times more potent than prednisone.
- 5-alpha reductase inhibitors (finasteride and dutasteride) have shown some response in patients who have castrate testosterone. They decrease dihydrotestosterone and also induce fairly substantial increases in estrogen levels in the blood.
- Estrogens (ex. DES, fosfestrol, estramustine, estradiol patches) were once used as a primary treatment for prostate cancer but the use was largely discontinued due to side-effects of blood clots and strokes. The development of anticoagulant drugs allows estrogens to again be considered as an option.
- Abiraterone (Zytiga®) is a novel, targeted, oral androgen biosynthesis inhibitor that prevents cancer cells from producing their own testosterone. It is presently only approved for after chemotherapy. However, this is an artificial distinction since it will be effective before chemotherapy as well. However, at a price of $5,000 per month insurance companies will probably restrict payment to after chemotherapy to save themselves money.
Except for abiraterone, these are discussed in detail in our 2005 Insights article: Hormone-Refractory Prostate Cancer: A Continuum of Diseases and Options by Oliver Sartor, MD.
Is immune therapy an option?
- Provenge – is approved by the FDA as an autologous cellular immunotherapy for the treatment of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic metastatic CRPC. A patient's white blood cells are used to trigger the patient's own immune system to fight the cancer itself. Since immunotherapy takes some time to work, an immediate PSA response will probably not be seen in most men. For more info, see:
PROVENGE® Approved in the U.S.A.
www.provenge.com - Other immune therapies – a number of treatment alternatives are being reviewed and have been used to benefit some patients, including: Low-Dose Cyclophosphamide, Leukine, ipilimumab (MDX-010), GVAX. For more info, see:
Immunotherapy And Advanced Prostate Cancer
Immune Treatment for PSA-Relapsed Prostate Cancer
What about docetaxel?
Docetaxel –Two clinical trials demonstrated an improvement in overall survival. These trials reported an average survival advantage of only 2.5 months. Many logically ask, "With such a small survival advantage why should I bother?" First, the survival advantage is probably larger than what was reported because men who were not in the docetaxel arm were allowed to cross over and receive docetaxel when their cancer progressed. So, in a sense, the trial was a study of men who got immediate docetaxel compared to men who got delayed docetaxel.
At the 2010 PCRI Conference, Dr. Vogelzang addressed this issue of survival in a different way. He pointed out that despite the chemo side-effects, quality of life was better. He also pointed out that there is a smaller group of men who benefit with dramatically longer survival. For example, at the same conference, Dr. Scholz pointed out that a 30% PSA decline within 3 months powerfully predicts for much dramatically improved survival. The patients whose PSA dropped to less than 4.0 had a huge survival advantage of about 20 months.

What else to consider?
- Thalidomide exerts some antiangiogenic activities after it is converted to various metabolites. Antiangiogenesis agents, like thalidomide may not show a lot of PSA decline but there may be PSA stability and failure to progress. Revlimid®, a second generation of thalidomide is a less toxic alternative.
- Bisphosphonates (zoledronate) if bone metastatic – has been shown to prevent disease-related skeletal complications in addition to reverse osteoporosis caused by androgen deprivation. Denosumab (a monoclonal antibody) was approved by the FDA on 2010. It may be slightly more potent than the bisphosphonates.
- External-beam radiation therapy can be used to treat specific metastatic sites identified by imaging. This can be beneficial to relieve pain but has not been proven to extend survival.
- Bone-seeking radiopharmaceuticals (samarium-153, strontium-89) – target widely metastatic and painful skeletal involvement as they "seek out" and radiate areas of increased bone metabolism that characteristically occurs with metastasis. However, because of their wide ranging impact long term bone marrow suppression with low platelet counts and anemia is a risk. See: Bone-Targeted Therapy for Advanced Prostate Cancer.
- Experimental therapies – Patients are encouraged to investigate Clinical Trials.

text: Beauty Hemsley & Hemsley: Chocolate Molten Pot 13 February 2013 Hemsley & Hemsley Picture credit: Hemsley & Hemsley/Nick Hopper MELISSA AND JASMINE HEMSLEY, the sisters behind London-based healthy food business Hemsley & Hemsley, are sending us a weekly nutritious recipe. Read more about them and see all of their delicious recipes here.At last! A "decent" proposal for Valentine's Day! We've got a hot date with a pot of molten chocolate, gooey in the middle and fluffy on the outside. Try our simple recipe - mix it up in 5 minutes and pop it into the oven for 10 - by the time you have finished licking the spoon and mixing bowl there won't be much left to wash up.If you're anything like us then chocolate was your first love and, thankfully, it's also best friends with St Valentine. Known as an aphrodisiac, chocolate is a symbol of sensuality and sexuality. Even the ancient Aztecs gave chocolate as wedding presents and used the cocoa bean as a form of currency - very apt for this usually expensive occasion. The scientific name for cacao, "Theobroma," literally means "food of the gods." Hear hear. If you like chocolate then check out our other chocolate recipes - Mexican hot chocolate, ChocBeet cupcakes and chocolate mousse.Many people consider chocolate a "guilty pleasure" - unhealthy and gluttonous. This bad reputation stems from harmful processing and refining as well as the addition of unhealthy ingredients found in your average chocolate bar and dessert. However, in its raw, unroasted and minimally processed state, chocolate (cocoa and cocoa butter) is actually good for the body and mind. It is choc-full (sorry) of antioxidants (more so than blueberries, red wine and tea!) and rich in nutrients - especially iron, zinc and magnesium. Chocolate is also renowned as the natural "feel good" drug because it contains chemicals such as Trytophan, Seratonin and Phenylethylamine - the same chemicals we secrete when we're in love or experiencing joy.One of our best friends Stephanie, considered part of the family, developed this recipe after cooking and eating Hemsley & Hemsley recipes for the past six months. She started with 85 per cent dark chocolate but then reworked it using just pure organic cacao powder (save your good chocolate for an emergency!). This simple recipe yields 4-6 trembling chocolate desserts depending on how big your ramekins are and how deep you fill them - ready to collapse as soon as the spoon goes in so make sure you serve them pronto. The wobbly, gooey texture is thanks to organic eggs and either melted grass-fed butter or virgin coconut oil - no flour needed. So as well as gluten and grain-free this is a nut-free pudding!To keep with all things Valentine's we chose "date" syrup to sweeten the bitter chocolate, though feel free to use high grade maple too. This recipe is not very sweet - we feel that these little puds are already delicious enough being hot AND chocolatey but if you find it a little on the dark side for your taste then feel free to add a bit more of your chosen sweetener or even a dash of stevia.If you're a keen cook and have the time then by all means whip up your egg whites separately until they peak for a super fluffy and light pud. As usual we love a shortcut and found that we still get a lovely puffed pudding just by beating the whole eggs. If you are without an electric whisk and you're saving your energy for something else, then a 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda will give you the rise you need.Gorgeous and puffy when they come out of the oven these puddings deflate in the first few minutes, so for maximum drama get them on the table fast! But even when it gets cold these are still yummy - in fact they take on a fudge texture which some of our taste testers almost prefer. They freeze really well too so pop any spare pots(!) into the freezer ready to reheat in the oven exactly when you need them.Ingredients(use organic/natural ingredients where possible)Makes 4-6 puddings3 medium eggs at room temperature75g coconut oil (we like Biona) or grass-fed butter4 tablespoons of cacao powder - we use The Raw Chocolate Company1 pinch of sea salt4 tablespoons of date syrup - we like Crazy Jack (or 3 tablepoons of maple syrup)1 teaspoon of vanilla extract - we like Nielsen Massey OrganicOptional: 1/2 teaspoon of bicarbonate of sodaInstructionsPreheat the oven to 180C.On a medium/low heat melt the coconut oil/butter in a small saucepan then take off the heat.Add the cocoa powder, salt, date syrup, vanilla (and baking soda if you're using it) and mix well.Separate the egg yolks and beat them with a fork (or use the whole eggs) then mix them into the cooled chocolate. It will thicken from the residual heat to a gloopy custard.In another bowl whisk the eggs whites until they are light and fluffy and starting to peak.Heap the egg whites into the saucepan and gently fold them into the chocolate custard with a metal spoon until thoroughly incorporated, making sure not to over-mix.Spoon the chocolate mixture into 4-6 ramekins leaving at least half a centimetre clear from the top.Place the ramekins onto a tray and pop in the oven. Cook for 7-13 minutes depending on how many ramekins you use. The more chocolate pots you make out of this mixture the less cooking time they need.hemsleyandhemsley.tumblr.com Related Reading Hemsley & Hemsley: Blueberry Pancakes With Cashew Mango Cream 06 Feb 2013 Hemsley & Hemsley: Winter Green Smoothie 22 Apr 2014

A luscious and nourishing hand and body moisturizer that your skin will eat up.
Start with fresh, ultra-thick, high-quality cream from pasture-raised cows, add some healing and aromatic natural oils...and that's about it.
No more disguising those beautiful eyes
with shades and circles and deepening lines
spread some vitality all around your peepers
and say so long to day-walking sleepers
moisten and tighten and brighten your light
by using Eye Caramba in the morning or night.
Our mission is simple - it's really a hoot
to help you celebrate your happy birthday suit
for your knees and toes, elbows and nose
and all the places the sun never goes
this allover scrub will soften your skin
and wash away its cellular sin
so spread the joy one part at a time
and invite your body to feel simply divine
Unmask your beauty with this simplest of spells
and see what it's like to jingle like bells
indulge your face with a stay-cation retreat
but don't forget your elbows and feet
maybe you'll sleep and dream of peace
or dream you climbed some creamy peaks
maybe you'll awake in an Asian forest
or dream you were an antioxidant-al tourist
Refresh your face that faces so much -
from things like smog and frowns and such
for skin that's prone to oil and bumps
exfoliate your skin until your spirit jumps
the power of purple cannot be beat
for cleaning, and preening and feeling complete
Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer

Recently we published an article on brands disappearing, when hundreds of people contacted us to complain that their favourite brands and products had recently disappeared from the shelves of the big two supermarkets. It was surprising how passionate they were about the topic, and it got me thinking. Or should I say reminiscing. It's amazing how food can be so emotive - to the point that it's not necessarily the food itself you remember, but where you ate it, who you ate it with and the era in which you ate it. And when that food has fallen off the recipe cards or exists no more, you're left with the bittersweet taste of nostalgia.
Take Robinsons Lemon Barley Water for example - the tinned powder variety. For me this conjures up memories of farms and log cubby houses. My best friend and I would set off down into the paddocks armed with a plastic bag heavy with spoonfuls of this tangy powder. We'd lick our fingers, dip them into the bag and then suck. It was our own, vastly cheaper, version of Whizz Fizz (are these old favourites still around?).
I also have fond memories of making vegemite worms with Vita-Weats. I'm now making them for my kids, but is it just me or have the holes gotten smaller? I don't seem to be able to make worms anywhere near as long as I did as a child.
A Sunday night ritual in our household growing up was to sit down to watch The Wonderful World of Disney with a big bowl of "Fluffy Pud" (green, pink or yellow 'flavour' depending on which child had requested it). There's something about the combination of fridge-set, whipped, tinned evaporated milk and jelly crystals and a story about a boy with his canine best friend getting lost and finding their way home that makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Fluffy pud would undoubtedly be panned by the judges on Masterchef, but to us kids in the early 80's it was a culinary masterpiece.
On the subject of treats with dubious flavour credentials, what became of that chewing gum filled with a liquid centre - often lime, from memory - that burst into your mouth when you chewed into it? Squirt, it was called. At least I think so - I wouldn't put money on it. Whatever its name, I still remember it as being pretty cool. And then of course we had my all-time favourites Barney Bananas - banana-flavoured ice cream on a stick that actually tasted like banana (and may even have contained banana for all I know). What a concept! Why they disappeared off the shelves, to let the far inferior banana Paddle Pops reign supreme, I'll never know. (I was heartened to note that a likeminded fan in 2008 created a petition to bring back the Barney Banana. Unfortunately it seems his efforts were fruitless).
I could go on - the more I reminisce about dated delicacies the more fond childhood memories I get to relive. However I'd like to hear about your own food nostalgia. What foods from your past do you miss, and why?

TODAY sees Francis Cummins' Bradford Bulls entertain St Helens at The Provident Stadium, in First Utility Super League (kick-off 3.00pm).
Please note gates are to open at 1.30pm and all tickets ordered for collection will be available from 'Ticket Collection Point', situated adjacent to the all-new Team Shop.
Both will be open from 11.00am, enabling supporters to purchase ticket for the afternoon's game and items from our official merchandise range – long before the action gets underway.
Supporters wishing to 'pay on the gate' can do so by entering the stadium via turnstiles 3, 8, 16, 23, 27, 32, 37 and 38.
Meanwhile, supporters who have already pre-purchased a ticket – or are a BELONG 2014 season-ticket holder – will be able to gain access through turnstiles 4, 6, 7, 17, 24, 28, 31 and 39.
Legendary announcer Steve Long will be back in town, making a long awaited return to The Provident Stadium to perform some of Cliff Richard and The Shadows' greatest hits, alongside Josh Doyle, as we celebrate the 2014 Eurovision Song Contest.
You will be able to enjoy more action from the award-winning Panache Cheerleaders and Rugby AM's Alex Simmons is to again act as our gameday host, in addition to the main event as the Bulls entertain Nathan Brown's high-flying Saints.
Ahead to kick-off, the club will be marking the 29th anniversary of the Bradford City fire by staging a minute's silence, followed by a minute's applause. The disaster, which claimed the lives of 56 people and injured hundreds more, occurred on Sunday May 11, 1985 - precisely 29 years to the day this weekend.
Bulls directors, players, staff and supporters will be joined my members of the emergency services and representatives of the Rugby Football League and the Football League in paying their respects to those who passed away and their families.
With this in mind, club officials are calling on supporters to arrive early in order for the two-minute tribute to take place prior to the game's scheduled 3.00pm start.
Don't forget to pick up a Matchday Magazine, which will be available from around the ground, including an exclusive interview with new signing Antonio Kaufusi, plus the very latest from commercial director Danny Potticary, who gives his thoughts via 'A View From The Boardroom', and head coach Francis Cummins.
Former St Helens star Lee Gaskell goes 'One-on-One' while we get to grips with rising talent Sam Bates in 'Team-Talk'. Skipper Matt Diskin submits his latest 'Captain's Log' and we round-up the very latest news from around the club.
For all that and much, much more, grab your copy - for just £3 - from 1.30pm right up until kick-off this Sunday.
Priced at £20 (adults), £15 (concessions) and £10 (juniors), based on terraced admission, match tickets offer fantastic value for money.
Car parking is also available for the First Utility Super League round-twelve tie, with secure spots on offer for just £5 - available on a first come, first served basis.
Supporters are reminded that all 'Junior Swaps' must be made in the Matchday Ticket Office.

Motown Meets Gospel and Country at Art Museum
January 22, 2009
- The Knoxville Museum of Arts Alive After Five concert series presents the John Myers Band on Friday, January 30, from 5:30-8:00 pm.
John Myers is an extraordinary entertainer whose early career included stints with R&B groups The Five Pennies, The Four Pennies, and then The Hearts of Stone on the Motown label in the early 1970s. Now living in Knoxville and performing with some of its top Americana musicians, his career has taken a whole new turn. His repertoire still contains some soul songs from his Motown days, but he can just as easily pull out a song by Hank Williams, croon a number by Louie Armstrong or belt out an old-time banjo tune. Myers currently collaborates with his wife Pamela who is a prolific songwriter. He recently released a live album from the WDVX Blue Plate Special radio show which includes two of their original songs. He is currently working on a studio album as well.
For more information about John Myers, visit
. Admission to this performance of Alive After Five is $8 for non-members, and $4 for museum members and students. Alive After Five is sponsored by Cherokee Distributing Company, Knoxville News Sentinel, WVLT-TV8 and WDVX-89.9FM. For more information about the Alive After Five series, please contact Michael Gill at (865) 934-2039.
