The Quonset Business Park is home to 175 companies (including Vineyard Fast Ferry) that employ over 9,500 people in full- and part-time jobs. One important asset at the park is the Port of Davisville, Rhode Island's only public port terminal. In the Aug. 18 editorial about the Fast Ferry ("Yes to Quonset-B.I. ferry") you refer to the Port of Davisville as having "still-underused port potential."
This outdated notion is simply not supported by the evidence — and hasn't been for many years. In reality, the port today is a key driver of job growth and economic activity in Rhode Island. Here are the facts:
•The Port of Davisville is consistently among the Top 10 auto importers in North America. In 2012, 172,000 automobiles were imported through Davisville on 160 ships.
•Stevedores at the Port of Davisville accounted for the majority of International Longshoremen's Association hours at Rhode Island terminals last year by a wide margin.
•In 2011, according to the Rhode Island State Pilotage Commission, which tracks all foreign-flagged vessels entering Narragansett Bay, 391 registered foreign vessels entered the Bay. Davisville received 126 of them, or 32.2 percent of all international shipping here.
•The port has broken the previous year's record for the number of auto imports in three of the past four years. The only exception was in 2009, during the recession.
•The port has enjoyed double-digit percentage growth in auto imports in three of the past four years. In 2012 it was 14.6 percent.
•The port now handles five times the volume of imported automobiles that were shipped there in 1996.
•Honda recently announced that it will be shipping cars to Davisville in 2014, which will only increase the port's business, and its momentum.
•With the recent arrival of a much-needed mobile harbor crane, the port is now hauling additional cargo across the pier. We would invite your readers to visit our social media accounts on Facebook and Twitter to see pictures of the crane at work.
Finally, on a geographic note, the Quonset Business Park is divided into two working waterfront districts. One of these includes the Port of Davisville. The second, a mile to the south, is the Quonset Waterfront District, where the high-speed ferry is docked. Your readers should know that every parcel in both waterfront districts at Quonset is full.
Rhode Islanders should be proud of the progress that's been made on their behalf at Quonset, and the Port of Davisville, in recent years. In fact, we would like to invite all Rhode Islanders to visit us at the Business Park. To arrange a tour, please call the Quonset team at (401) 295-0044, x218.
We look forward to seeing you down at Quonset!
John Laramee is vice chairman of the Quonset Development Corporation's Board of Directors.
Editor's note: The quote in question referred to Rhode Island's failure to fully develop Quonset as a containerized cargo port, which in our view would have done vastly more to energize the state's economy.

The Walkmen's Peter Bauer: "Skrillex makes me feel like I don't understand what's happening"
The Walkmen + Otis.

- Review: Florence + the Machine at Red Rocks, 7/25/12
- The Walkmen at Wells Fargo Theatre with Florence + the Machine, 7/26/12
The Walkmen's first album, Everyone Who Pretended to Like Me is Gone, came out ten years and two months before its latest -- and perhaps loveliest -- Heaven. For the greatest symbol of the band's change in perspective over the last decade, look no further than its promotional art, in which the New York-D.C.-Philly guys showcase their roles as fathers, not rock stars. While their debut heralded youth and experimentation in New York, a sort of dudes-in-a-dorm mentality, their latest has grown with the guys to become an introspective look at life after moving, marrying, giving birth and, eventually, growing up. We recently caught up with organist Peter Bauer to discuss children, longevity, bath salts, dubstep and what heaven really means.
Westword: You've played Red Rocks before. What do you remember of that show?
Peter Bauer: We played this festival there and it was really pouring. All the people were just suffering. It was only like forty degrees, but the rain was cold, and it gets colder up there. There was no inside to go to, and it was just bad. But you know that guy MF Doom? We were leaving the stage and MF Doom just pulls up in a car, leaves the keys in the car with the car running and walks onstage. I thought that was a great way of coming to a festival because usually you get stuck in these situations where it's nine hours of waiting and you're sitting in a room while it's raining. But with MF Doom, he just gets off, walks back to his car, which is still running, and goes. It's not very green of him -- he could have turned the car off -- but nonetheless, I liked it a lot.
You've mentioned that this latest album, Heaven, came about almost by accident. Is that a good thing?
We started off with the idea of just writing a single. We were worn out from the last record and had just finished, and we thought, "Why don't we put out a song?", something different as opposed to another full-length album. But everything came together so quickly -- there were so many ideas -- that we realized we had another record. I don't know if it was doing that -- taking the pressure of by saying we're not going to write a whole album -- but everything came much faster. We were all separated in different cities, so we would basically email tracks back and forth, most of which Paul writes and Ham [Leithauser] sings on and then we put them together as a band later.
How many emails does it take on average to finish one song?
That's a good question. It can be like one and then it's done, but back two records ago, we'd have like 75 versions of each song, all in a slightly different genre. One would be kind of country, then there'd be an acoustic version, who knows. But now I think it's gotten to the point where we have an idea and it either works or doesn't, which is a much better way of going about it.
How do you temper your communication via email? You can't just write, "I hate this. It sucks."
To be honest, the way it works is that when you send a song around, people either respond to it or they don't. If people don't like it you just get radio silence. But sometimes your emails don't go through and you just sit there and think everybody hates you when it's really just that your email didn't get through. You feel like you got cut out of the loop or something later when everyone's talking about a song and you're like, "No one sent me that." But it's nothing personal.
What was your intention with the single, and did it come across on the whole album?
I think we just wanted to write a stand-alone song. With some of our records, there's just one thing that goes into the next thing that goes into the next thing to create an overall feeling five songs in. We wanted to write a couple songs that could just breathe by themselves and be like, "This is the whole kit and caboodle." Like a full statement in one song. I think there are a couple songs on there that come across that way. In general, it can become kind of overbearing when those songs stand on their own six in a row, so I think it worked out to expand.
It worked like clockwork in a way that has never happened to us. Usually we record in several different studios and there's a power outage somewhere and some horrible thing happens and someone goes home. This time it was six weeks straight through and that was it.
What motivated the amount of acoustic sound on this album?
That was something we actually wanted to do more than we ended up being able to [put] on the record. Every time we do a record, we like to have a new instrument. We've used horns on the last two and a lot before that. We used pianos before that sort of as a way to change all the space on the songs. With an acoustic instrument, whether it's a guitar or a piano or whatever, it cuts through and changes the space of everything around it, these electric guitars and the drum set. That's basically the main reason: It gave us a new way of playing. It changes the frequency of Ham's voice, things like that. I think a new way of coming up with something is always an important thing.
One of my favorite lyrics on the album is the line, "I don't need perfection / I love the whole." Does that sentiment apply to the way you guys created the album?
I love that line that Ham wrote a lot. I think it applies to everything we do. The things I like in the world are these beautiful and comfortable albums, and there's this false notion of perfection where everything is dead and no longer alive. A lot of people expect that of music and pop music and especially relevant pop music, and it's really stupid. I don't know what it's based on, and it's this sort of false threat. It's really nice not to feel like that, to realize that's a false notion and this whole scene and world is still very much alive.
What about the concept of Heaven, then, as a kind of perception? Is heaven also a false notion?
No, I think to me it's just an interesting idea. The way you're living your life should be about your own experience and awareness, and your own perception of the world is what heaven is to me. So that was just very much in this time as something I was dealing with. It's not happiness or sadness; it's just being. That's why I really liked the idea of heaven for this record. I don't think we're writing songs about psychological things or whining about them. It's more a phenomenal experience, and I mean phenomenal as in phenomena. That's what heaven is to me -- just this purely phenomenal level. You achieve heaven by virtue of being aware of the world around you. Does that make any sense to you?
Sort of.
Well, that's more than some. [Laughs.]
It's been more than ten years. What continues to surprise you about the band?
What continues to surprise me is that you feel like you're going to run out of gas somewhere along the line, and you just don't. Then you get another track in your email and someone's working on something you're really excited about. I think that's a huge success for us, that we're still making things that we're excited about and enjoy doing. This seems impossible that we're doing so many things together, but for us it feels like it's getting more and more open as opposed to closed. There were points where it felt like, "Well, that's probably all we're going to do," but even now, we don't want to make another record like this. We still want to do something, though, and we'll know it when we hear it.

Hey guys, It's Casi. And this week I just wanted to talk to you a little bit about having to use communal bathrooms and what tips you should know and how to survive that, because if you know what to do, it's really not that bad. So first tip is have a tote bag to put on your clothes in. So, I keep this tote bag right by the door so when I go actually to the bathroom or just take a shower, I grab my tote bag and my towel and that way I won't have to, like, carry stuff back and forth. It's all in the bag. And then we head to the bathroom and there's a couple more tips that I'll show you in there. All right, second tip is to always wear shower shoes. So buy some really cheap plastic flip-flops that you can wear even if you're taking a shower or even if you just run in here for one second, always wear shoes. What you actually see here is kinda gross. Okay, so, this is my friend, [unknown].
She's gonna talk to you about our awesome little communal [unknown]. What you need, you keep in there.
Okay, so-- what we have here?
As you can see, this is my shower caddy. It's really cool. I keep my toothbrush and my toothpaste in it, that way I always grab my stuff here whenever I wanna brush my teeth-- shampoo, conditioner. Also for obvious reasons I have my razor, my shaving cream, and what I like to use too is soap, kinda good stuff if you ever need to like clean anything in your room with spills you have soap, so you know it's good. Oh yeah, wait. Actually, I have to take little rag to clean stuff and my towel 'cause I am earth friendly. Yehey.
Yeah, and a lot better if you could use the towel over and over than just like-- Bye [unknown].
So those are my tips for you if you go into the bathroom. I'm sure you'll get better on.
No thanks, continue without linking accounts.

Serves 2-4
What is breakfast like at your house? Does one person eat more sugar than oatmeal? More syrup than pancake? That's Mr. Picky. One day I fully expect him to eat a bowl of nothing but sugar. Meanwhile I just barely dust my breakfast with sweeteners. While eating, we take turns shaking our heads at each other's crazy eating habits.
Today, take your sugar out for a spin on a bowl of millet porridge, an African treat. Particularly popular in central Africa, you can make this dish as sweet as you like (although the characteristic whole grain/bitter flavor will remain strong in millet) – or you can leave it unsweetened for a more savory dish.
1 cup millet flour (available at African markets or some health food stores)
1/2 tsp grated ginger
1/8 cup sugar, plus extra as needed
1 cup water
1 1/2 -2 cups whole milk
cinnamon for garnish, to taste
Good morning sleepyhead! Rub the fog from your eyes. Grating a little fresh ginger will help awaken the senses. This is also the best way to get evenly sized bits – you know, so that they don't blow your taste buds up.
Add the millet flour, ginger, and sugar to a bowl.
Whisk in the water until a smooth batter forms.
Add the batter to a small pot. Click on the heat and pour on 1 1/2 cups of milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until thickened. You must keep whisking this to avoid lumps and sticking – it works just like making custard or pudding. Add the rest of the milk if it gets too thick.
Serve with sugar and cinnamon on top. Eat with a gaggle of friends. People should do brunch more, don't you think?
Simply fill in your details below.

Season Ticket Holders can come down and watch Friday night's Development Squad game against Manchester City at the Boleyn Ground absolutely free.
Tickets are also available on the gate priced at just £3 for adults and £1 for kids, with the game kicking off at 7pm.
The Hammers will feature the likes of George Moncur, Matthias Fanimo, Sebastian Lletget, Pelly Ruddock, Callum Driver and Elliot Lee, all of whom travelled to Spain and played some part in the first team's friendly with Espanyol.
Nick Haycock's team are looking to maintain a great start to the season which has seen them win three of their four matches so far.
An amazing comeback last time out saw them come from three goals down to triumph 5-4 with a hat-trick from Lee the catalyst for victory against Newcastle.
The team's only defeat came in a pulsating game at the Boleyn Ground when a Lewis Holtby inspired Tottenham took the points with a 3-2 win.
The squad will also be strengthened by the return of defender Leo Chambers, who will be buoyed by his goal for the England Under-19s in a 6-1 win against Estonia.
Friday night's visitors, Manchester City, arrive in East London having lost two of their opening three games, including a 6-3 defeat to Spurs.

Spicy boudoir poses and pin-up-style portraits with an assortment of props, or babies playing with hats and splashing in the bath. Sandy Puc' specializes in these and other styles of photography. When the award-winning photographer isn't snapping shots, she shares her love of photography and connects with budding shutterbugs worldwide through speaking engagements and services such as Sandy Puc' University and Ukandu––a store for photography tools. In Denver, she runs photography courses where students go from learning the basics of DSLR cameras to photographing a live model and receiving group critiques. When she's not discussing and teaching photography, Sandy practices it along with her colleague Helen Noakes during sessions with kids, high school seniors, families, and individuals.
Element One Photography's owner and lead photographer Kim Kowalczik pays great attention to every detail about her business. Ms. Kowalczik assembled everything in her studio, from the vibrant backdrops, to the professional lighting, to the staffers themselves. She works alongside a professional team of photographers and certified makeup artists, who in turn work closely with photo subjects of all ages. They capture families, newborns, couples, and graduating students, being sure to combine both posed and candid shots. Photogs can also work with pets, which is rare considering they typically refuse to appear in anything but film. Additionally, Element One Photography isn't confined to its studio. Its photographers travel on-location for photo shoots in homes, parks, or other photogenic locales.
We're fun, energetic and passionate about what we do! Andrea and Lora are professional photographers who are passionate about capturing life's most important milestones with their cameras. Both are mothers who know how to create genuine smiles and enjoyable photo sessions!
The all-female staff at Memories Photography foster a relaxed and welcoming environment during boudoir photo sessions. They encourage women to let loose and be themselves in front of the camera, whether they're dressing up or down. With the same relaxed approach, photographers also shoot weddings and engagement sessions as well as high-school-senior portraits. The studio also sells lingerie and corsets for clients' convenience.
DeBoudoir photographers specialize in setting their clients at ease, carefully directing poses and maneuvering lighting to elicit flattering shots that smack of self-confidence. During trademark boudoir sessions, subjects wear sumptuous lingerie or drape their nude frames strategically in sheepskins and blankets before posing in-studio or on the beach. DeBoudoir tweaks this photo formula for its other services, which include engagement sessions and pinup shoots, during which subjects wear stylish vintage garb.
DeBoudoir's lingerie boutiques brim with corsets and accessories such as hats, gloves, and thigh high stockings. Lingerie, meanwhile, runs the gamut from negligees to underthings more delicate than an aging movie starlet?s ego.
Husband-wife team Bill and Kelli Nixon have captured unforgettable moments at hundreds of weddings. Bill, who served for years as a wedding cinematographer, has an excellent eye for lighting, while Kelli is known for her keen sense of timing and framing, making them a powerhouse team when it comes to shooting everything from engagement pics to family portraits to clown college graduation photos. And, in addition to immortalizing special events, the pair also breaks down all the techniques involved with capturing that perfect shot during digital photography workshops for budding photographers.

There are a variety of treatments, devices and products available to cosmetic providers for skin rejuvenation. With all of these options, it can be difficult to decipher which will prove effective and which may just be the latest gimmick. Before taking on a new service or product, it is important that you conduct your research. In order to make an educated decision, use reliable sources, including clinical studies and scientific evidence. The key to skin rejuvenation—whether it is mechanical exfoliation, chemical exfoliation, laser, light therapy or microneedling—is to maintain the health of skin structures, stimulate cellular renewal and increase the production of matrix proteins to provide a healthy appearance.
Microdermabrasion is one of the top five nonsurgical procedures performed in a medical setting, with 498,821 treatments performed in 2012 alone, according to the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery.1 Although this service was originally performed by dermatologists, it is now the most popular exfoliation method used by estheticians. Microdermabrasion refers to mechanically exfoliating the superficial layers of the skin using particles or a rough surface with the use of a tool, while simultaneously creating suction for stimulation. This technology was developed in Italy and gained wide popularity in Europe in the mid-1980s before making its way to the United States in the mid-1990s.
There are currently several methods of microdermabrasion. The original devices were developed using aluminum oxide crystals as the means of exfoliation. Although aluminum oxide works effectively for exfoliation, there has been some controversy regarding the potential hazards of ingesting the material. The use of sodium bicarbonate crystals is becoming the material of choice for crystal microdermabrasion due to its organic nature and smooth texture.
Another development that came about in 1999 is the use of a diamond-tip or particle-free microdermabrasion machine. The diamond-tip provides similar results to the crystal method, but some prefer one over the other. The diamond-tip has a lower cost of consumables and does not leave behind crystals, reducing the risk of side effects, including eye abrasions. On the other hand, there is question about the sanitation methods applied with the reusable diamond tips.
In the past decade, microdermabrasion has continued to evolve, featuring methods such as brush bristles, hydraderm—or wet microderm and dermafiling. There are machines on the market so strong that they can cause pinpoint bleeding with one pass. In contrast, some devices produce such low power that they are similar to using a mild scrub. Regardless of the type of device used, there are other details to consider, such as the strength of the treatment, the vacuum level, the speed of application by the technician, the number of passes performed and the condition of the client's skin before the treatment.

I bought "Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare" for the Xbox 360 and I have been hooked for a few days now.
If you like first person shooter games all I can say is HOLEY COW! This is easily the coolest game I have ever played. It is realistic in it's graphics. In fact, it might be a bit too realistic if you ask me. If you suffer from PTSD as a result of combat stress, don't play this game because there are times where it is almost too real.
All the firearms are done very well. They fire and operated as they should. And the best part about the guns? Some of them can fire through walls. Not just plaster walls but concrete or brick walls. So if a bad guy is hiding behind a brick wall and you happen to be holding an AK, then that bad guy is dead because you can fire right through the wall and kill the bad guy.
Now, this works both ways. I have been killed many times while taking cover behind a brick or cement wall only to see rounds start coming through the wall and then you are dead.
I HIGHLY recommend this game to anyone who likes first person shooter games. It is amazing.

I just got my first Pachira and want to know what type of soil I should use. It came with a little card with its light and water care but don't say anything about soil.
How fast do they grow? Does anyone have one that has ever bloomed? I also see there are two speices Pachira Microcarpa and Pachira Aquatica, how does one know which one you have? Stevi |

Hi Stevi, I have 2 Pachira Aquatica, I only know because they came labeled! I would have guessed that Aquatica would have been native to a wet environement but based on my experience that is not true. I have mine in indirect light, very close to windows that do no get afternoon sun. I rotate the pots about once a week and only water thoroughly maybe once or twice a month. They have never bloomed in the maybe 1 1/2 years I've had them. The label did say to mist, but I don't. I once placed it outside on the patio where some direct sun hit the leaves and they fried up and bleached white so bad, I did not think the plant was going to be able to recover. it took a long time but it did...I'm lucky it wasn't out there even an hour longer! |
HI thanks for your email. I am glad your Pachira recoverd. Any special potting soil? When you put your Pachira outside did you do it slowly? When I first put my plants back out in late spring I put them on the porch first and then slowly let them get more sun over a week or so. Otherwise they do burn. Stevi |
Stevi, I had a pachira aquatica until hurricane Charley. Mine was grown in the ground with no special care. Our environment here is zone 10, very wet summers, and well draining soil. Not sure how much help that is for growing in your area. I did find the tree undemanding. I grew mine from seed, and it was about 20' tall when it was destroyed. It flowered for years, and produced many seed pods also. The tree had a nice rounded shape, attractive foliage, and bloomed periodically different times of the year. The flowers were unusual and attractive. I am growing a new one now, but it is too small to flower. Bill |

Mine (Pachira Aquatica)is about 15 ft tall and produces many flowers but has yet to set fruit. It is beginning to form that butressed trunk and is a striking tree. Seems to love water but also doesn't seem to mind periodic droughty conditions. Hurricane Wilma gave it a bit of a ragged appearance but it is recovering well, and the beautiful symetrical structure is intact. Everyone who can, should have a Provision Tree! |

WEll-draining soil is very important..if there's one thing Pachira doesn't like it's wet feet. Most die because they drown. I think this plant prefers a semi=humid atmosphere so it should be misted and/or a humidifer in the same room. Toni |
I am curious about the last post. I think it would be unusual that a tree with the species name "aquatica" would not like wet feet. You would think the opposite would be true. I can't agree or disagree however, since although mine was planted in a low spot that held more water than any other spot in my yard, in my area of Florida everything is well draining since the soil is mostly sand. Bill |

A Quote from Floridata.com concerning P. aquatica: "Pachira aquatica prefers a site that is flooded much of the time and may develop stilt roots under such conditions. Like most swamp trees, it is likely to grow faster if planted where the water will recede and let the roots get some oxygen now and then." |
So how do you tell which type of Pachira you have? There are 3 of them 1-Aquatica, 2-Grandiflora, and Macrocarpa All mine said was Pachira here is a link to a picture of mine. You may have to copy and paster it. Stevi |

does money plants have edible fruit? |
It'll have a large brown oblong seed pod filled with quite a few chestnut-colored seeds. YOu roast the seeds (nuts). They don't taste good. |
Hi, I've had my money tree for quite a while now and I've put up some info on what I've done (and learnt) to take care of it on my blog. In case you want to check it out (I have a photo as well), you can go to: Of course, I'm no pro, just personal experience. I see there's a lot of pro's with experience here. Learning tons, so thanks for that... James |

i recently purchased a money tree from a local store- i place it on my enclosed screend deck with indirect sunlight- the leaves now have white and brown spots on them- what is going on and what can i do--move it inside? very little water has been added-=-write me direct at firstname.lastname@example.com if possible thanks |
- Posted by hopefulauthor z5IL (My Page) on Sun, May 13, 07 at 17:08
Ed, are the white and brown spots inbedded in foliage or do they move? Bill, I'd have to say, watering depends on where one lives. I've talked to people who grow Pachira in cold, dry climates much like where I live, (IL.) Those Pachira's watered heavily in winter died.. |
- Posted by jpk(email@example.com) onThu, Jul 9, 09 at 23:46
is it normal for my money tree to have 6 leaves??? |
If you dont pot them up,they reduce like Bonsai. As a matter of fact, they make great Bonsai with their fat trunks. |
- Posted by stuartdave 10a (My Page) on Mon, Jul 13, 09 at 19:44
Actually I think they taste pretty good raw somewhat like a peanut. I have 3 the tallest about 15 ft and they have been fruiting for a few yrs now.3 hurricane eyes did not budge them and they were about 8 yrs old then. |

Hey. I just bought a pachira aquatica from a store and im not sure how to raise it. I am thinking along the lines of: water once a week mist once a week 3-5" pot braided indirect sunlight in summer/winter; direct in spring/fall watered from bottom apparently it is native to wetlands so i am going to try more water...i hope it grows for a long time. is it bad to have a few shriveled leaves here and there? Thanks ahead, A.B. |

HolyJourneys is an educational travel group for Jewish women who want to get inspired and stay inspired. We bring groups of women at all levels of observance to holy sites in Israel and in Eastern Europe so that we can learn, pray, sing, dance and grow together. Our trips are exhilarating, exhausting, reviving, challenging, comforting, and most
important—inspiring. Even when we travel the same route, the journey is always fresh because every woman alters the experience of the group by contributing herself, her feelings and concerns, her knowledge and prayers, her hopes and dreams…
We are Chassidic and Traditional, Litvish and Modern Orthodox; Ashkenazic and Sefardic (and Georgian and Bukharian!); FFBs and Baalot Teshuvah; single and married; mothers and grandmothers and daughters, waiting for children or not; healthy and in need of refuah; younger and older and everything in between. We are a mosaic of vibrant Jewish women who know that if you want to grow, you have to keep moving. "The path of life for the intelligent person is UP!" [Vilna Gaon on Mishlei 15:24]
Sara Melman, a long-standing student of Rabbi Moshe Weinberger of Woodmere, relocated to Jerusalem several years ago to deepen her connection with the Breslov community and raise her family in the holiness of Jerusalem. She has been leading trips to kivrei tzaddikim in Ukraine since 5761 because she knows what a privilege it is to awaken the hearts of Jewish women to serve Hashem. Sara also organizes tefillah outings across Eretz Yisrael and engages inspiring speakers to keep that flame burning. She and her husband Yonatan are the administrators of the charitable organization Shlomzion, which provides assistance to families in need in the holy city.
Yehudis Golshevsky is a graduate of Yavne Teacher's Seminary in Cleveland and SUNY Buffalo. She is a Breslov Chassidiste who lives with her very patient and forgiving family in Jerusalem, and has taught Breslov Chassidus and a broad range of Torah classes and worked in Torah publishing for nearly twenty years. She currently writes the NarrowBridge.org twice-weekly e-mails on Rebbe Nachman's teachings for Breslov Research Institute and teaches a variety of in-depth Torah classes in Jerusalem. Yehudis first traveled to Uman in 5755 and began taking women's groups in 5766: "Every trip reminds me that there is a G-d in the world."

Hi aloefreak1, I will describe to you what I have done with mine. I am in Zone 7b. Your a lot warmer. I have never used paper towels to germinate my seeds so I cannot comment too much about this. I fill pots (6") with a free draining mix similar to what I use for adult Adeniums, but I add some coconut coir for more moisture retention. Once filled to about 1/2" from brim, I place seeds (I soak for 2-3hrs. If purchased. Would not if fresh) on top of mix and press in slightly. I then top dress with a 1/8" thin coat of grit (granite or forestry grit) and water in sparingly. I place in a propagator with a lid and on a heat mat which keeps it at 80-85F. I have mine in a south facing sunroom. Have never used artificial light, but may be necessary if you have no place to give good light. Watch to make sure that you open the lid occasionally to let in air. I only mist the grit if it looks to be drying out, but usually do not have to with the humidity from inside. When I see 50 - 60% heaving through the grit ( soil if not using ) I remove them from the propagator. Keep in a warm place with good light and I do not use the heat mat. I have even started them before on top of a second fridge that we have with no heat mat. The seedlings will need to be kept evenly moist. Good light, but not full summer sun until they have 4 or 5 true leaves. I may have missed something and this is what I do. I am sure that we all have different methods. The SwazicumxObesum are nice plants. Rick |
You all go thru so much. I repurpose some sort of tray, either the styrofoam containers mushrooms come in or the clamshell containers from the salad bar. Make some drainage holes, fill with a well draining potting mix and stick the seeds about 1/4 into the soil. I soak the seeds for several hours before planting and just keep the soil lightly moistened. I use a seed mat for bottom heat and keep the trays covered until they germinate. Once they get a couple sets of true leaves I transplant into individual containers with a grittier potting mix. They are under T5 lights while inside with the rest of my succulents. If I'm starting seeds during the summer I just stick the seeds into a tray and put it someplace outside that's shaded. |
Karyn, me too. I only sow them in April or May. Soak the seeds and put them in soil. Keep them moist and see them grow. Very simple and it works. Marie |
i too use a very simple setup, some sort of a container, more flat than tall, usually an ice cream box or some takeaway food container. make drainage holes if there are none, fill with a mixture of perlite fines and pine bark fines 1:1, basically what ever is left over from screening for gritty mix. it is a mix that discourages fungus growth and stays moist for a sufficiently long time. once assembled i wet it thoroughly before placing seeds. i make small grooves with a ruler or something similar, about 5 mm deep, place seeds in sideways. take a sprayer of some sort, make a solution of filtered water, some fungicide and some superthrive, spray seeds generously, until you see them changing color a bit. cover with cling foil, place on router or something warm if it is cold in the house. they start sprouting usually in 2-3 days, most are up by day 5, i throw away those not up by day 7 (if there are any). they can stay in the same container for a couple of months, no need to transplant unless there were a million of them in there. |
If you don't have a built in fridge the top is nice and warm. I used to use it for trays if I ran out of seed mat space before we renovated the kitchen. |
I know for myself that starting in the early spring to have the seedlings at a good age before the winter is best for me. Started before in Oct. and they where fine, but the seedlings started the following Feb. by far surpassed the early sowing. I used to seed most of mine in separate 2" pots, but I tried what Dr. Mark Dimmitt shows in his book. Did some both ways and when it came time to transplant into individual pots. The ones started as Dr. Dimmitt showed had an unbelievable amount of roots. I liked it and it took up a lot less space. Nice to hear what others do. Rick |
- Posted by aloefreak1 AZ 8 (My Page) on Sun, Nov 25, 12 at 20:02
Thanks for sharing all of your set-ups! I guess I'll just keep it simple from now on instead of constant monitoring and misting |
Rcharles, would you by any chance want to describe that method in short? I still haven't found a source which would ship that book to me for less than a gazillion dollars... |
Hi teyo, I am by no means an expert, but I will describe what is mentioned. I used the same potting mix I use for all the seedlings (gritty, but bit more coconut coir). The container should be 4"-5" deep min.. Fill to within 1/2" - 1" from top edge. Place seeds on top of mix, press in slightly and cover with a grit. I use forestry sand, but chicken grit (crushed granite) is same. Water in moderately. As for Dr.M Dimmitt's book. It is excellent. I checked on a couple different sites and found it and it was fairly pricey, especially when you added on the shipping to Canada. It just so happened when I was looking for it, I was going on a holiday in the U.S. and asked the person on eBay what the cost of shipping and whether they could send to me there. They did and the shipping was dirt cheap and I got it in two days. Wonder what the shipping would be for someone else other than eBay individual, to send one to you? Rick |

Hi Everyone!! I am like Karyn and Marie.. I go for simple!! My seeds are placed in seed starter in the small seed square trays. seed starter trays. I dont soak the fresh seeds either. I poke them down about 1/4 in into the soil and top them with Turface Fines ( the very small fines from when i make my Gritty Mix) this gives some weight to the top and i also like to transfer the new seedlings into the gritty mix as they get a little older. I also place on a heat mat. Water them in well, and keep them moist, not wet. Place in a sunny location and watch then grow. I did start some about a month ago, and they are all doing well. These seeds came from Mark D. So, i go the easy route.. and they do fine!! Good Luck!! Laura |

Ever heard of a concept called flow? Well at ACE Adventure Resort, the concept of flow abounds everywhere. You must be wondering to yourself, what exactly is flow? Despite what you may be thinking, it has nothing to do with the river or which way the current takes your raft.
Flow is the feeling you obtain after accomplishing a high adventure activity. In a sense, it can be related to nirvana or enlightenment. When a guest comes to ACE, they are often doing what they perceive to be a high-risk activity. While we have great guides that take wonderful care of each and every guest, there is inherent risk in almost all aspects of our lives. High adventure activities are high intensity and high adrenaline experiences.
Imagine yourself, rafting on the Upper Gauley for the first time. You've heard just how intense the Upper Gauley can be. Everyone likes to tell the wildest stories and as you embark on your adventure, so that's what is in your head. This causes you to foresee a great risk. Yet, the excitement makes you push all worry aside. Upon hitting that first big wave, flow immediately sets in. Flow is more than the accomplished, post-trip bliss you will feel, but the feeling you experience during your activity that makes you brave enough to carry on. Once your trip is over and you have conquered multiple rapids and huge waves you will instantly gain a sense of great accomplishment, pride and excitement that leaves you feeling as though nothing is too great a battle for you. This is the essence of flow. It's the foundation of feeling euphoria.
When all your t's are crossed, all your i's are dotted, the world comes together in front of you, leaving you feeling as though you can take on anything that comes your way. Because the foreseen risk is greater than the actual risk itself, this is a common feeling to accomplish while spending time at ACE. If your life could use some excitement and you find that flow is exactly what you've been missing out on, come to ACE and let us help you experience the feeling you simply won't be able to forget.

C.S. Lewis: Christian, Writer, Scholar, Prophet
It's hard to be a casual fan of C.S. Lewis. Many despise him for his Christianity and convictions. Many love him dearly for his brilliant mind and writing and prophetic insight.
If you've read enough Lewis to track with his vision and life's project, you'll either love him or hate him. Let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about being only a casual fan. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.
With the Desiring God 2013 National Conference just around the corner — and the July 26 early-bird deadline for registration approaching even faster — we sat down for a quick conservation about Lewis with Bethlehem College & Seminary professor, and unapologetic Lewis-lover, Joe Rigney. Joe is scheduled to give a seminar at the conference on "Live Like a Narnian: Christian Discipleship in C.S. Lewis's Chronicles," as well as a 10-minute "small talk" on "Lewis Against the Hipsters (And Those Who Despise Them)."
The conversation is only seven-and-a-half minutes, but Joe can talk fast and get a lot in. He addresses Lewis's amazing versatility as a writer of children's books, science fiction, essays, sermons, apologetics, Medieval and Renaissance lit, and more. He also discusses Lewis's prophetic gifting which makes him so relevant today, as well as how to prepare well for a conference like this on Lewis (with an important shortlist of Lewis books to commend).
You can listen in on this short conversation at the resource page, or download here.

447 Critchley to Department of External Affairs
Cablegram K321 BATAVIA, 23 June 1949, 12.10 a.m.
The Republican Delegation ascertained on 20th June that the leaders on Bangka were willing to accept the compromise proposals set out in paragraph 3 of my telegram K.319. [1] After intensive informal negotiations over the past two days to finalise details, the formal meeting referred to in K.319 was held this afternoon, 22nd June. In addition to the two Delegations and the Commission, it was attended by four members of the B.F.O. representing the non-Republican areas. The Sumatran B.F.O. representatives did not attend.
2. The procedure at the meeting followed that outlined in K.319.
The following are summaries and extracts of the official statements at the meeting.
(a) Van Royen. 'The Joint Committee, entrusted with the task of making the necessary investigations and preparations incidental to the return of the Republican Government to Djokjakarta, has practically completed the preliminary part of its work. It will give its continuing attention to certain questions of supply and other measures of a technical nature. The progress reports of the Joint Committee will be definitely approved by my delegation as soon as we receive the necessary clearance from the Netherlands Government.
The preparations for the return of the Republican Government to Djokjakarta have thus proceeded to such an extent that the Netherlands Government will order its troops to start the evacuation of the Residency of Djokjakarta on 24th June. If this evacuation encounters no hindrance, the Republican Government will be able to return to Djokjakarta on or about 1st July, 1949. With regard to the cessation of hostilities and co-operation in the restoration of peace and in the maintenance of law and order, an agreement has been reached between the Netherlands and the Republican Delegations, with which the B.F.O. concurs. I am authorised to state that the Netherlands Delegation subscribe to this agreement with the proviso that both parties reserve the right to propose amendments with regard to lesser details- The Netherlands Delegation is authorised further to state that the Netherlands Government approves the agreement reached between the delegations of the Netherlands, the Republic of Indonesia, and the B.F.O. concerning the time and conditions for holding of the Round Table Conference at The Hague. I present herewith, for formalisation, the document incorporating this agreement.
With regard to the fact that the subject of New Guinea is being mentioned under items to be discussed at the R.T.C., I wish, in view of the attitude of the Republican Delegation and that of representatives of other areas with regard to that point, to state that putting this item on the agenda in no way prejudices the position to be taken on that subject by any of the participants.
The Netherlands Government on its part, fully maintains its attitude on that point.' (b) Roem expressed satisfaction that the Republican Government could now be restored by 1st July and he understands the final details would be formalised without delay. He continued: 'In regard to the argeement reached concerning the cessation of hostilities and the time and conditions for the holding of the R.T.C., I am able to declare that these constitute points of the policy to be urged upon the Government of the Republic of Indonesia after its restoration in Djokjakarta, in accordance with my statement of 7th May, 1949. However, with regard to the items in sub-paragraph 7(e) [2] of the R.T.C. document, we can only approve to have the items included on the agenda of the R.T.C. on condition that it is fully understood that we consider that the territory of New Guinea should be part of the U.S.I.
Further, I should like to remark that, as far as the agreement regarding the cessation of hostilities is concerned, as was stated by Van Royen, the parties will still have the opportunity to make amendments on the lesser points; while later in Djokjakarta when there will be an opportunity to consult the military experts of the T.N.I., the technical details-in this case, the military definitions and the rules to provide for the implementation of the principles reached-will be discussed and determined.' (c) Hamid, on behalf of the members of the B.F.O., representing areas in Indonesia other than the Republic:
(1) Concurred with the measures to be taken to cease hostilities.
(2) Endorsed the agreement on the terms and conditions for the R.T.C.
(3) Took the same viewpoint as Roem on New Guinea.
Following the meeting, a Press release was issued: the terms of which were arrived at only after protracted and difficult negotiation. This made guarded reference to a 'meeting of participants' on proposals for a cessation of hostilities and for the time and conditions for the R.T.C. The document incorporating the latter was published (see K. 320).

Home > Local History | Genealogy - Carnegie Branch Library
Our History
The Carnegie Branch Library is housed in the original Boulder Public Library. The library was built in 1906 with money donated by steel tycoon Andrew Carnegie.
Carnegie donated $15,000 for the library to be built with the agreement from the city that $1500 would be set aside each year to maintain the building and the collection.
Located at 1125 Pine Street, it can be recognized by the two Greek columns that give it the neoclassical look chosen by architect Thomas McLaren of Colorado Springs. Because the people of Boulder were proudly calling their town the "Athens of the West," McLaren patterned the library after a small Greek temple that had been unearthed in 1905 near Athens. The exterior is built of sand-lime facing brick with sandstone detail.
The windows have glass segmented by a metal frame in a fish scale pattern. The ceiling is patterned tin, and the floors are pine. The green marble fireplace was imported from Vermont. Inside, a large open two-story room, complete with fireplace, greets patrons who cross through the airlock entry. The open spacious design allowed the librarians over the years, to move the furniture and stacks to meet the demands of a growing collection.
The Carnegie Library was able to keep up with the town's needs until the population doubled the decade after World War II.
The slide show requires Flash Player to display
By 1961, the attractive little building was bulging with books and patrons, and a new library was built at 1000 Canyon Boulevard. Used for recreation programs and later as a city warehouse, the Carnegie showed signs of deterioration and neglect as its role in the community diminished.
In 1981, Library staff rallied to regain ownership of the building. With the Colorado collection outgrowing space at the Main Library, the entire collection of books, maps, oral histories and documents were moved into the little building on Pine Street. The Boulder Genealogical Society also moved their collection from the Main Library onto the premises. Oak ceiling beams, pine flooring, leaded windows, and a marble fireplace were restored to their original beauty. New furniture and book stacks were installed. In 1983, it became a library again when the Boulder Public Library reopened it as the Carnegie Branch Library for Local History.

Final 2012 Presidential Debate Materials Being Produced on Mohawk Products
October 19, 2012Océ, a Silver Sponsor of the debate, called upon Mohawk to partner in this momentous occasion because of its high-quality products, and specifically Mohawk's new Specialty Digital Substrates. The ability for Mohawk to provide a wide range of synthetic materials and premium papers for the production of event materials—press releases, guidebooks, campus maps, programs, car decals, window signs, and commemorative posters—was a key factor in the coordination of this multifaceted project.
"It's an honor for Mohawk to be asked by Océ to participate in this important historical event. Mohawk has always been a supporter of educational institutions, and we were happy to supply the materials needed to produce the printed materials for the final debate," said Chris Harrold, vice president, business development, digital technologies, Mohawk.
About Mohawk
Mohawk is North America's largest privately owned manufacturer of fine papers, envelopes and specialty substrates for commercial and digital printing. Mohawk papers are chosen for commercial printing, photo specialties and high-end direct mail.

NEW YORK - Perhaps the Zune has spent some time at a Seattle spa: The newest version of Microsoft's media player is slimmer, stronger and more intuitive than its first-generation sibling.
At first glance, the new Zune ($249.99) looks similar to the old, except sporting a face-lift and a larger hard drive — 80 gigabytes, up from 30.
With a black matte face and brushed metal back, it also looks more like an iPod than it used to. And its slightly larger, 3.2-inch glass screen — no longer plastic — somewhat improves viewing compared with the old Zune.
But Microsoft's latest effort is easier on the brain as well as the eyes. It includes simpler touch-based navigation and software with larger fonts. And fans of old Zune features such as the integrated FM radio and Wi-Fi media-sharing function will be happy to see them on the updated device — and to note that the Zune can now sync with a PC via Wi-Fi, instead of just through a cable.
But a variety of improvements are still needed if the product wants a chance of besting Apple's iPod Classic, such as a better display and longer battery life.
Among the most noticeable new features on the updated player is a touch-pad button, replacing the button-within-a-button controller. It takes much of the clicking out of navigating the Zune and, despite some overzealous finger swiping on my part, it made using the Zune easier, especially when scrolling radio stations.
The improvements don't stop with the casing and buttons. Microsoft included a software update — also now available via download for the first-generation player. And first-generation Zune owners who download the new software should be able to enjoy the new wireless syncing feature.
The most noticeable difference is in the main screen fonts, which are larger and clearer than on the old device. Microsoft also added a "Podcast" option to the main menu and renamed the "Community" option "Social." And the "Pictures" area has a new layout that I found more aesthetically pleasing.
The PC software has been refreshed as well, with a slicker, brighter interface and larger icons that make it easier to play tunes and videos and manipulate files.
The Zune marketplace is also bright looking, and as of this week sells music videos along with tunes.
Of course, how your tunes, videos and images look and sound is key. The Zune doesn't disappoint on the audio — though I was irked by the absence of a music equalization feature on the new model.
Visual challenges still stunt it, however. The grid of pixels on its screen was at times distractingly visible, which also was a problem with the old player. For such close viewing, a sharper experience seems necessary.
As with the old Zune, users can send each other songs and images via built-in Wi-Fi, and it was fun to send tracks between players. The previous restriction on sharing has been changed, so users who receive songs can now play tracks three times and pass them along to other Zune owners, who can also pass them on. Previously, users had three days in which they could play a song up to three times and then it would simply expire.
Microsoft updated related online social features, too, adding a Zune card users can customize with a picture or song links and then post on their blog, for example, so friends will know what they're listening to.
The included earbuds, with smaller heads than the old ones and replaceable rubber tips, are easier to wear, better at canceling outside noise and more comfortable.
Yet, for all its improvements, the Zune still has some issues, most of which are holdovers from the original. It still has file limitations. For music, the Zune supports several types of WMA files plus MP3 and AAC files, but you won't be able to play copy-protected music you purchase from iTunes.
For video, it supports WMV, MPEG-4, H.264 and, with the new firmware, DVR-MS files — but not the QuickTime format. And for photos, it supports only JPEG files. Also, the Zune communicates only with PCs, leaving Mac and Linux users out in the cold.

RusHydro, the Russian hydro power company, listed its shares in London today, and set out its vision of how huge volumes of electricity could be exported to meet China's growing energy needs.
In many ways, hydro power is the best of all energy sources: carbon free, proven technology, long-lived and with very low marginal cost. The problem is that there are not enough suitable rivers. The potential of hydro power is strictly limited by geography, and in most western countries all the suitable sites have been used. As a result, large-scale hydro has very little potential for growth.
In emerging economies, however, the position can be very different. Where France and Germany have used up about 95 per cent of their hydro power potential, and the US 82 per cent, Russia has used just 19 per cent of its potential. In Russia's far east, including east Siberia, the scope for development is even greater. That creates a huge opportunity to export Russian electricity to China. There are, however, some daunting challenges to be overcome. Read more

Gift Wrapping Tips & IdeasAs gurus, we're always on the hunt for the perfect gift, and when it comes time to wrap we want to hit the mark too. So, we reached for our trusty copy of "The Modern Girl's Guide to Life" for some fun gift wrapping ideas. These photos are from our actual trials and we think they came out great! Follow Jane Buckingham's effortless steps, like we did, and you'll have gifts as memorable on the outside as they are on the inside whether it's for your boyfriend, your best friend or your boss.
The Brown Paper Package
Wrap Step 1
Use brown paper from an office supply store as your base (for a guy's present, even grocery brown-bag paper can look chic if you fold it sharply on the creases). Measure your box, then place it top side up, making sure to fold the ends of the paper in at least a half inch to hide rough edges. Use double-sided tape for a clean, flawless look.
Wrap Step 2
Don't have ribbon? No problem. Just take a ball of cotton string or twine and wrap it around the box three times to create a cool pattern. Then find an ornament to slip under the twine. Clip a leaf or fresh flower from your garden, or attach a fun trinket that corresponds to the gift (for example, a cute olive fork if you're giving a friend a martini set).
The Gift Basket
Have a pretty basket you never really use? It makes the perfect gift vessel for bath, kitchen, and gourmet items (regifted utensils especially...since you likely won't have the original box).
Wrap Step 1
Fill your basket with gift items and sit it on a large square of clear or colored cellophane (three times the size of the basket's base). You can pick up cellophane at most party or gift stores.
Wrap Step 2
Pull the cellophane straight up over the edges of the basket, then give it a twist to the left and secure with a rubber band. Tie a ribbon around the cellophane, then clip the rubber band off. Trim the edges of the cellophane if necessary.
The Wax-Paper Present
I know�the only time you'd think to use wax paper is when you're baking. But the milky feeling of the paper gives your gift a sophisticated, Zen-like vibe.
Wrap Step 1
Simply wrap your box with wax paper, being careful to make sharp creases and fold under any zigzag edges. And avoid boxes that have writing on them. But don't be afraid to use a colorful or black box�it looks great peeking through the wax paper.
Wrap Step 2
To dress it up, add a strip of decorative gift paper. This technique is called the "cummerbund." (It's a great way to use any beautiful bits of paper you saved from past gifts.) Just make sure you fold the edges of the cummerbund under to achieve smooth edges. For an extra kick, tie a skinny ribbon through the top of the cummerbund, and top with a fresh-picked flower.

"...This course really appealed to me due to the broad range of subject areas covered, taking in psychology, linguistics, anatomy and physiology. The best part of the course was the clinical placements which give you the opportunity to link what you are doing in the classroom to its practical application. It also provided great insight into the range of possible working environments, from hospitals to schools and community clinics. It is a challenging, enjoyable and rewarding course which leads on to a great career..."

Students will show off a variety of artistic styles, presented through a collection of paintings, sculptures, digital work, and photography.
Briseno, a senior from northern Illinois, dedicates her artistic endeavors in all their forms to "offer people visuals of God's promises." Her hours in the art studio have been inspired by the idea of hope, and she works to portray its fulfillment and healing power.
The charcoal drawings and oil paintings that Clemmer presents will not only showcase her own talents but also the lives of her more recent ancestors. In her effort to honor the lives of others she has chosen to base most of her work on the heirloom photographs passed down within her family, capturing in a brief moment those who came before her.
"I believe that everyone has an important story to tell, no matter if it seems little to them . . . this was my way of trying to show appreciation," said Clemmer.
Starting in ceramics but having since branched out into painting, Davis finds her inspiration in both people and nature. She believes the two have much in common, including an implicit invitation to explore their mysteries more deeply.
"The purpose of my art is to inspire not only thought but imagination as well," said Davis. "Without imagination, we become paralyzed in the mundane."
Osborn works chiefly in portraits, attempting to represent the complex inner workings of people he knows and respects. His goal is to capture the secret struggles that people hide and hold dear.
"From my own experience, the struggles we face within our own spirit are what bring us closer to God," said Osborn. "My goal is for my art to relate something of that experience."
The exhibit is open to the public Tuesday through Friday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., and on Saturdays, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. There will be a closing reception on Friday, May 3, 3:30 to 5 p.m.
The Senior Showcase is sponsored by Cooke's Food Store.


text: Perfect Climate Deluxe Pond De-Icers by K and H Manufacturing are designed to keep ice free water in your pond during the winter. Simply follow the zone chart recommendation provided on this page to choose the proper de-icer for your location. If your pond is larger than the 1200 gallons simply add another de-icer designed for the additional volume (A 1700 gallon pond in zone 3 will use one 1500 watt model and one 750 watt model). The chart will also assure that by using the correct size de-icer only the required amount of energy is used - saving the customer money in energy costs. Thermostatically controlled to turn on/off only when needed (approx. 35 - 45F range) the Perfect Climate Deluxe Pond De-icer provides an effective and economical solution for your pond. Safe for use in all types of ponds regardless of pond liner. This de-icer may be used as a floating de-icer right out of the box or may be converted to a submersible deicer with just the touch of a button!

In building construction, a structural frame usually fabricated from pieces of metal or timber to form a series of triangles lying in a single plane. The linear members are subject only to compression or tension. The horizontal pieces forming the top and bottom of the truss are called the chords, and the sloping and vertical pieces connecting the chords are collectively called the web. Unlike a vault, the truss exerts no thrust but only downward pressure; supporting walls require no buttressing or extra thickening. Trusses have been used extensively in roofing and bridges. Wood trusses were probably first used in primitive dwellings c. 2500 BC. Wood was replaced by iron, which in turn was succeeded by steel. A truss's outer members are called the chords, its interior members are called the web members, and —© Merriam-Webster Inc.

Mexican Chocolate-Banana Muffins
- Total Time:
- 55 min
- Prep:
- 10 min
- Inactive:
- 15 min
- Cook:
- 30 min
- Yield:
- 12 muffins
- Level:
- Easy
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups mashed bananas (about 2 big bananas)
- 1 large egg
- 8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1 (3.5-ounce) disc Mexican chocolate, chopped
- Special equipment: 1 (12-cup) nonstick muffin tin with 12 paper cupcake liners
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
In a large bowl, mix the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a separate mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, melted butter and milk until incorporated.
Stir the banana mixture into the dry ingredients just until blended (but do not over-mix as it could result in a tough muffin). Stir in the chopped Mexican chocolate.
Divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake the muffins until the tops are pale golden and a tester inserted into the center comes out with some melted chocolate attached but no crumbs, about 30 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to rack to cool for 15 minutes. Then remove from the muffin tins.
Cook's Note: The muffins can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
