Medical marijuana dispensary review: Artisanal Medicinals in Denver
It's not so much that Artisanal Medicinals looks sketchy from the outside. It's...ummm...okay, the place looks sketchy from the outside. It's in a forgotten corner of Denver that you probably only visited back in the day if you were buying paint, having a car repaired or spray painting murals at the communal permission walls. That's not to say it's a bad part of town; it's not. It's just commercial -- meaning there's a lot of commercial weed growing in nearby warehouses, including the one keeping Artisanal Medicinals stocked with hearty, stinky medical cannabis.
Artisanal MedicinalsArtisanal Medicinals' building is a squatty, tan brick building that, aside from the black "AM" logo over one of the windows, doesn't look any different than the other dreary, nondescript buildings around it. With the recent weather, the parking spots out front were muddy -- which matched the adjacent fenced-in lot, with its battered plastic greenhouse in one corner and large stalks and root balls of plants tossed out into the muddy middle of the property. All it was missing was a pissed-off, mean Doberman gnashing at the fence and a few shuffling homeless people to complete the stereotypical bad-part-of-town imagery.2042 S. Bannock St.
Denver, CO 80223
Artisanal Medicinals Facebook.Hours: 2 p.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday. Closed Sunday and Monday.
Raw marijuana price range: $10/gram $35/eighth-ounce, $220/ounce. Members and first time patients receive discounted pricing.
Other types of medicine: A few edibles, hash, BHO.
Online menu? Yes.
Handicap-accessible? Yes.
Then you get inside, and it's nowhere near what you'd expect -- more like walking into a moody, dark art exhibit that showcases weed. Or a shoebox disguised as a clean, stylish dispensary. You walk in -- or rather are let in by whoever is taking red cards and IDs at the door -- and are basically sitting in the lap of the person ahead of you in line. And surprisingly, there were people in line, despite how difficult it was to actually find the shop, which opened less than three months ago.Facebook.com
There are no obnoxiously green color scheme or other obvious dispensary trappings, just a steel-gray paint on the walls and black-and-white chairs along one wall, with an end table stacked with pot mags in the corner. A large desk and filing cabinets take up the rest of the lobby/waiting room; a curtain separates it from the bud bar, which is less than ten feet away.
There's not much to the bud bar; you don't even need to turn your head to see the whole thing. It's three shelves stocked with square glass jars, each labeled with the strain name.
Edibles from EdiPure and CheebaChews are on the top shelf, and herb is kept on the two below. The hash selection isn't huge or diverse; the shop simply runs all of its trim together. EdiPure processes its $25/gram BHO, which looked clean and smelled like a chunk of mixed hash should, without any lingering chemical solvent odors. Facebook.com
I was more interested in the $12.50/gram icewater hash, which I was told was "dab-able" on a skillet or nail. It looked the part and was broken down into shiny, waxy pellets that melted and bubbled on top of a bowl or screen but didn't really hit the dab-able mark. Nevertheless, it's some of the best-produced icewater hash I've seen since I was up in Boulder a few months ago.
Considering there are two windows at the front of the west-facing building, both rooms were really, really dark. Spotlights hung in track lighting only lit half the space. That's not a huge issue when you're waiting around, but when you're trying to look at buds, it becomes a problem. So much so that the budtender handed me a flashlight with the first jar of some impressive Ogre 99. The buds smelled like vanilla frosting on a cupcake and were caked in trichomes.Mixed hash from Artisanal Medicinals.
My budtender was also the head grower, which was nice, because he was able to answer all of my questions about the buds and explain the center's grow. According to him, everything at Artisanal Medicinals is grown with natural and organic additives in either soil pots or an ebb-and-drain hydro system. He also noted that buds are hand-trimmed and cured for about three weeks before hitting the shelf.

Future Energy Alternatives
We are all fully aware of the current need to seek out environmentally friendly & renewable ways to generate energy. This necessity to move away from using energy manufactured from fossil fuels is due to that fact that this energy source is both non-renewable and a major contributor to global warming. With news that global warming is inevitable and calls from environmentalists and politicians alike to seek out alternative energy sources, it is clear that we need to act sooner rather than later. But what alternatives are readily available to us today?
The carbon footprint that we leave when we travel is massive; be it by car, bus, train, or plane. Traditionally these (among other) forms of transport are powered by fossil fuels and make up a huge 14% of annual greenhouse emissions. However, in today's world there are more eco-friendly options available. The electric car is one of these options; powered solely by electricity and with much lower emissions than the traditional combustion engine it seems that travelling by electricity is the way of the future. With lower band tax groups for low emissions vehicles, driving an electric car is also a cost effective way to drive.
Another economical way to save the environment would be to install solar panels on your house. Although initially expensive to set up, once installation is complete additional costs on solar panels are minimal and solar energy is pollution free. Solar panels effectively convert usable sunlight into electricity using photoelectric cells or synchronized mirrors. The best thing about solar energy is, seeing as it is generated solely from sunlight, it is a 100% renewable energy source.
An additional alternative resource to consider in for the future age is the power of wind. Although this resource is not available at a domestic level as of yet and only accounts for 0.1% of the world's electricity demands, it is one of the cleanest and most efficient forms of energy available – providing the wind blows of course. Scientists hope that by, quite literally, relocating wind farms to the skies where the wind blows more consistently and stronger they could generate a larger yield of energy unaffected by lulls in wind flow at the earth's surface.
Unfortunately none of the above alternative energy resources are yet utilised to their full potential. However they do show promise for cleaner, greener and hopefully cheaper renewable energy options in the future.

Beh Charan (Rajasthan), May 1 (IANS) She has assisted in the birth of almost the entire village population. At 65, Charki Devi, a dai or midwife in a Rajasthan village, is happy she has played a pivotal role in birthings. But her role and of those like her is now fading, with hospital deliveries taking over.
In Beh Charan, a village of around 650 people in Osiyan bloc of Rajasthan's Jodhpur district, dais like Charki and Imrati Devi have undergone training under the government's programme to train midwives towards ensuring safe motherhood.
Both midwives are very careful about hygiene during deliveries.
'We cut our nails, wash our hands carefully, see' Charki Devi told this visiting IANS correspondent, holding out her hands.
Charki has spent 30 years in her profession, while Imrati, who is around 50, has spent 15 years.
Now with most births taking place at institutions, either the primary health care centre or the nearest hospital, women like Charki and Imrati don't play the key role they did, but nevertheless their services are wanted.
They are beckoned at all odd hours to examine pregnant women, and can tell if they require to be immediately rushed to hospital.
'We can also tell if it is going to be a boy or girl, from the food the pregnant woman craves to eat,' says Imrati.
If the delivery is at home, then the dai, besides ensuring her own hands are clean, also ensures there is a clean cotton cloth on which the delivery is to take place, a new blade with which to cut the umbilical cord and a piece of thread – boiled and sterilised – to tie up the cut cord.
There were times some years ago when the delivery would take place on a bed of sand or a pan of heated soil. The sand or soil would give the cushioning effect and also soak up the blood.
'These dais are called to accompany the expectant mothers to hospital,' says Smita Bajpai, programme officer of Chetna, a NGO working under the White Ribbon Alliance India for safe motherhood.
'The expectant mothers feel more at home with the dais, who are known to them in the village. The dais remain with the women in the hospital, and alert the doctors and nurses when the baby is about to be born,' she said.
The dais would earlier get Rs.50 per delivery, but now they don't get anything, Imrati said.
But villagers do give the women some token gifts and food after a successful delivery. The dais are also called on the seventh day after the birth, during the naming ceremony.
Besides the dais, there are also the ANMs or auxillary nurse and midwives, the ASHAs (Accredited Social Health Activists) or trained female community health activist and the Anganwadi workers who work among the women in rural areas of Rajasthan to spread awareness about birth preparedness.
In Rajasthan, which has among the country's highest maternal mortality rates at 335 per 100,000, the midwives and trained nurses play an important role as interface between the families and the health centres.
Sandhya Rani Purohit, in her 50s, is a ANM with around 27 years of experience working in Beh Charan village. Trained under the National Rural Health Mission, Sandhya takes the blood pressure readings of the pregnant women, checks their weight, gives them their tetanus 'tika' or shots, and also advises the women on family planning methods.
'I monitor the health of all the women between the ages of 15 to 45. I check the mother and child and advise women to go for delivery to hospital,' Sandhya told IANS.
There is also Shyam Kumari, an anganwadi worker in the same village.
'Earlier, births in our village used to take place at home. Now all the women are sent to hospital. We also advise them on their diet and monitor their health closely,' Shyam told IANS.
Aparajita Gogoi, country director CEDPA (the Centre for Development and Population Activities), which helped form the White Ribbon Alliance India, told IANS that the aim was to make childbirth safer 'We work at multiple levels – both at awareness generation level and at the community level.'A select group of mediapersons visited some villages of Rajasthan's Jodhpur district to view the results of a project coordinated by SUMA-Rajasthan White Ribbon Alliance for Safe Motherhood, in partnership with White Ribbon Alliance India and GRAVIS (Gramin Vikas Vigyan Samiti).

great to be able to use rules from my laptop
If you think the special edition pre-ordershould have come with a PDF copy of the book, then why did you pre-order the special edition anyway? :)

Too expensive, sorry.
At the risk of sounding like I'm beating a dead horse, I still think those of us who pre-ordered copies of the Deathwatch special edition should get one of these as part of the package.

Passmark Advanced Multi-User Tests
Version and / or Patch Used:6.1
Developer Homepage:http://www.passmark.com
Test Homepage:http://www.passmark.com
Many users complain that I/O Meter is too complicated of a benchmark to replicate results so my quest to find an alternative was started. Passmark has added several multi-user tests that measure a hard drives ability to operate in a multi-user environment.
The tests use different settings to mimic basic multi-user operations as they would play out on your server. Variances is read / write percentage as well as random / sequential reads are common in certain applications, Web Servers read nearly 100% of the time while Database Servers write a small amount of data.
The Workstation test is the only single user environment and will be similar to how you use your system at home.
The first generation Constellation SAS drive was ran on a controller and that gives the drive a bit of a performance advantage in some of these tests, but we can clearly see that the new Constellation.2 running on its native SATA bus is quite a bit faster than the previous generation drive.

Customer Reviews
Rating: | Thursday Oct 18 2012 12:01 | by Laura |
I bought these for my 17 yr. old son. He loves them. They have a high quality look, and feel. The box they come in is nice,and I like that it holds each piece separate from the other to avoid nicks & scratches. The insert in the teapot is great, ready to add tea grounds without buying the insert is a plus! Our only wish is to have the rest of the dishes in this pattern. A Sake Set in this pattern would be nice also. We have been looking online and most are blue dragons on the white background. The white dragon on the blue background is more pronounced & dramatic looking. A manly looking set of dishes for a young guy who loves all things Asian. Couldn't be happier with these! |

on March 25, 2010Bill Cunningham is the most important guy in the world. Or at least an unidentified Parisian fashionista says so in a scene of Bill Cunningham New York, the new documentary chronicling the life of the legendary fashion photographer (most famous for his ongoing New York Times column, "On the Street" here's a classic from last winter, though it could have been made in any New York winter of the last half-century). Cunningham has been working on the column a collection of candid photographs of famous and nonfamous fashion icons which predates any style blog out there for decades, and the genial octogenarian shows no signs of stopping.
Aside from telling Bill's story how he grew up in a working class family, was drafted in the Korean war, started designing hats before he sort of accidentally became a photojournalist/anthropologist, how he moonlighted during his many years at the Times for the original Details magazine it's the images in the film that work incredibly well. There's Bill in his blue construction worker jacket (he buys them on the cheap so he doesn't feel guilty about messing them up) shooting the shit with Michael Kors. There's Anna Wintour posing on the street for him, and there she is saying that the fashion world gets dressed in the morning for him. There's Bill in a reflective orange vest riding his bike at night on the busy streets of midtown Manhattan, all eight decades of him gray and white and skinny, being honked at by taxis, and holy hell, why do those youngsters drive so fast? There you are, cringing for his life, not yours, because this deceivingly frail-looking man is draped in a garbage-bag poncho with the rips and holes taped up and he's running up and down the rainy crosswalks, amidst heavy foot traffic, wiggling around and snapping photographs like some sort of well-intentioned paparazzo. And while you don't want him to get hurt, you also question your own stamina.
And then you learn this is a man who was so deeply involved with his work he admits he has never had a romantic relationship, and you learn he's spent most of his life living in Carnegie Hall in a tiny apartment filled with filing cabinets almost floor to ceiling, with just a bed on the floor, and no private bathroom (it's in the hallway), and that's he's probably going to get kicked out soon. He'll be okay: he just wants to get outside and keep shooting. But if you haven't felt righteous indignation for a while, this flick will cure that.

For the second time in two years, a rising star of Seattle's burgeoning rock scene has died at 24 of an apparent heroin overdose. In March 1990, the victim was Andrew Wood of the band Mother Love Bone, whose survivors launched chart- topping Pearl Jam. On June 27, 1992, Seven Year Bitch guitarist Stefanie Sargent, back from a career-launching concert at New York's New Music Seminar, was found dead in her apartment.
''That's kind of Stefanie for you, her left-field sense of timing,'' says Daniel House, president of Bitch's Seattle-based label, C/Z Records. ''Heroin isn't fashionable anymore,'' he adds, ''but in this city it's more prevalent than ever.''
C/Z hopes to release the debut Bitch album of singles this fall. ''Eulogize Stefanie,'' says Sub Pop Records' Jonathan Poneman, who discovered Seattle's Nirvana, ''but don't write a eulogy for Seven Year Bitch.''

Standing Up
1. Start in the water, floating on your back with the board perpendicular to the rope. Your arms should be around your bent knees, with both hands gripping the handle (like a baseball catcher's squat). Keep your eyes focused on the boat.
2. As the boat begins to pull, let your hips slide to your ankles and your chest to your knees. Don't muscle it--the boat will pull you up. Slowly rise with your back straight, move the handle in front of your lead hip and let the board turn until it's in line with the towrope.
3. While riding, keep your knees bent slightly with your chest up and hold the handle in front of your leading hip. "Let the boat do all the work," Schwenk says.
Cutting (aka Edging)
1. To swipe back and forth across the wake, turn your shoulders and hips so they are more open to the boat. Look where you want to go and move the handle slightly to the inside of your forward-facing hip, while transferring your weight to your heels.
2. As you cross the wake, keep your knees bent. "Don't steer with the rope," says Shawn Watson, two-time national wakeboarding champion. "Keep the rope at your hip and your arms straight. It's more of a lower-body movement."
3. To cut back in the other direction, slowly press your toes down and push your knees forward toward the water. Turn your shoulders and hips in the direction you want to cut.
Jumping the Wake
Now for the fun part: getting air. Amateur jumpers should shorten the rope to around 55 or 60 feet. "The shorter your rope, the narrower the wake, so you can jump it a lot easier," Watson says.
1. As you begin to cut toward the wake, fix your gaze on an object across it. Gradually increase the speed and angle of your cut as you approach the wake, and extend your knees fully as you hit the top.
2. Raise your front foot up slightly so you don't bury the nose of the board when it lands. As you fly, keep your chest up and bend your knees to turn them into impact-absorbing shocks.
Dry-Land Practice
Before hitting the lake, sit on the ground in the catcher position with your feet shoulder-width apart, knees together and arms straight, holding the handle. Have a friend be the boat and slowly pull the rope until you stand up.

Another day of triple digit temperatures are expected for the interior valleys as offshore flow pumps dry air across the region. The heat will peak on Monday with temperatures reaching 103+ in some locations.
Coastal valleys will also be hot with temps ranging from the low to upper 90's. Beaches will be seasonally warm -- they could near 80 degrees in places like Avila and Pismo Beach.
Onshore winds will return on Tuesday, cooling things off slightly, but we won't see a big drop in temps until Wednesday.
By the end of the week, temperatures will return to normal as low pressure moves into the Central Coast.
Have a great week!

Ballard's Quapaw name is Honganozhe, or "Stands with Eagles." As a student he learned to play piano. He entered the University of Oklahoma and studied at the University of Tulsa, receiving bachelor's degrees in music education and fine arts and a master's degree in music. During an extended academic career he served as director of music and performing arts at the Institute of American Indian Arts (IAIA) in Santa Fe from its founding in 1962 to 1970. The Bureau of Indian Affairs selected him in 1970 as director of music curricula for its nationwide school system. Critics proclaim Ballard's most important work to be Incident at Wounded Knee (1974). A commissioned work, it is a symphony and dance piece in four movements: Procession, Prayer, Blood and War, and Ritual. The composer's inspiration came from studying the 1890 massacre of hundreds of Oglala Sioux after a Ghost Dance ceremony as well as from hearing about the events at Wounded Knee, South Dakota, in 1973. The piece premiered with the St. Paul (Minnesota) Chamber Music Orchestra in 1974 during a U.S. State Department sponsored tour of Eastern Europe and was performed at Carnegie Hall in 1999. Among his noted works for ensembles are Katcina Dances (suite for cello and piano, 1970), Ritmo Indio (for woodwinds, 1969). The Maid of the Mist and the Thunderbeings (1991) is an orchestral suite, and choral cantatas include Portrait of Will Rogers (1972). In the 1960s while at the IAIA he composed The Gods Will Hear, with lyrics by Lloyd Kiva New, IAIA art director and president who was born in 1916 in Fairland in northeastern Oklahoma. The Four Moons (1967) is a ballet that commemorated the sixtieth anniversary of Oklahoma statehood and was performed at its Tulsa and Oklahoma City premiers by four of the state's Indian prima ballerinas, Yvonne Chouteau, Rosella Hightower, Moscelyne Larkin, and Marjorie Tallchief. Ballard received a Lifetime Musical Achievement Award from First Americans in the Arts in 1997. He has received honorary doctorates in music from The College of Santa Fe and William Jewell College and in 2004 was inducted into the Oklahoma Music Hall of Fame, the first classical composer to be so honored. At the end of the twentieth century he resided in Santa Fe, New Mexico. BIBLIOGRAPHY: Baker's Biographical Dictionary of Twentieth-Century Classicial Musicians, ed.

FDA Mandates New Warnings for Botox
Posted: May 1, 2009
Though none of the reported problem cases have involved using the drug for dermatological or cosmetic procedures, skin care professionals should note the newly Food and Drug Administration (FDA)-mandated warnings on Botox and other similar products.
Reports of deaths among people using popular anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox to treat muscle spasms have prompted a change in labeling. Botox and similar products will now be required to carry boxed warnings, the most serious type of label warning, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday.
Most cases involved children given the drug to control muscle spasticity associated with cerebral palsy and adults using it to treat muscle spasticity, migraines and cervical dystonia. "The hospitalizations are very few, deaths are very rare, but they have been reported," said Dr. Ellis F. Unger, acting deputy director of the FDA's Office of Drug Evaluation, said during a teleconference. "We don't want to discourage use of these drugs as patients taking them have significant disability and the drugs are effective to relieve important problems. But people just need to understand the risks that are involved so they can make informed, risk-benefit decisions."
Unger said the deaths have not been clearly attributable to injection of the drugs, as everyone who died also suffered from other conditions. None of the cases so far reported have been associated with use of botulinum products in cosmetic or dermatological procedures, such as clearing furrows between the eyebrows, according to the FDA. Botulinum toxins are not approved by the FDA to treat severe arm and leg muscle spasms, although they are approved for dermatological indications as well as cervical dystonia.
Officials believe that most of the problems occurred when one product was substituted for another without corresponding dose adjustments. "There are now three products approved in the U.S., each with different units, and the units cannot be interchanged," Unger said. "Switching patients from one to another runs the risk of underdosing or, more important, overdosing." The three approved products are Botox, Myobloc and Dysport, which was approved this week. Officials said there have been no post-marketing reports of similar problems with the newest drug.

So I've been trying to identify this tree for a few days now; it was growing in one of my flower beds and I originally thought it was going to be a black walnut, but that's obviously not the case. Any help would be appreciated; I think I've determined it's not listed on any of the invasive species lists that I've found online, so that's a start. I have a hunch it's just a "weed tree" but I'd like to know what it is before removing it. Thanks for any help. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Where are you located (approximately)? Obviously you recognize that you are dealing with a compound leaf. Hickory is an option. If you pull off a leaf/leaflet, is there a strong odor? |
I'm in northwest ohio. What was interesting to me was that some of the "branches" have leaves directly across from each other while others are offset. There is zero smell if I pull a leaf; I even tore the leaf in half after that and crushed it. For what it's worth, the leaves are fuzzy. Do you think the leaves are compound? I was thinking those were branches, giving me a simple-type leaf |

Not a hickory - butternut - J.cinerea; or, could be Japanese walnut, J.ailantifolia, its budsport the heartnut. J.ailantifolia var. cordiformis - or a hybrid of butternut with one of the J.ailantifolias. DNA fingerprinting has revealed that a number of 'butternut' cultivars which are exhibiting resistance to butternut canker are actually hybrids. |
- Posted by Dzitmoidonc 6 (My Page) on Tue, Sep 10, 13 at 22:21
Lucky, do these hybrids make Butternut nuts. In other words, would somebody like me be able to tell the nuts apart? (The average farm boy-type.) The reason I ask is because i would plant the hybrid. If I can get the nut without the threat of the canker, the purist in me goes out the window. |
Yes that is a compound leaf. Come fall, that whole thing will separate and fall off, proving to all that it was a leaf after all. :) |
I agree with Lucky butternut, heartnut, or hybrid of the two. |
Thanks for the responses. So this is something I should let continue to grow instead of removing? |
Is there enough room around it to reach mature size? This gets to be a good sized tree. |
Yep, plenty of room. Wikipedia tells me it'll normally get 60-90 feet, which is no issue. |

we are planning a bathroom renovation and would like some ideas. Unfortunately, we will not be able to enlarge the space, so we have to work with what we have, which is 5x7. I was looking to do 8x12 floor tiles, but not sure the space is large enough for larger floor tiles. We are planning to tile around the window and go all the way up in the shower. As for the rest of the bathroom we will go 4 feet up the wall. I would like a glass accent and am planning to go with browns and beiges.
Any ideas or images will be helpful. Thanks! |

Aside from tile size and preferred colors, you don't provide thoughts as to what you are seeking to do - total gut, utilize existing fixtures or something in between. Two winters ago, we updated a bath which measures 5 x 8, retaining the existing tub, WC and vanity (30" which we painted). Kept existing wall tile however will change it in the future. What we did change was the flooring where we used 12 x 12 tile set on a diagonal. even though the area is only about 30 sq. ft., it seems to fit fine. Additionally, the medicine cabinet was removed and a larger one installed in place of the wall-mounted mirror, a train rack added for towel storage. New hardware too. A granite vanity top with undermounted basin and new faucet rounded the update along with a curved shower rod following removal of the by-pass glass tub enclosure. Our color scheme has been drawn from the tile which contains gray with tan and rust. As I like to redecorate, wall tile outside the shower limits my changing wall colors should I choose. I'm linking photos which include before and after views. Commentary is below some pictures. Hope this helps, Good luck with your update. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Updated Bathroom
I forgot to mention we are doing a complete gut. We are adding all new fixtures, including tub and toilet. Fmnroberts ... Nice bathroom! You did a great job. |
- Posted by fnmroberts (My Page) on Mon, Nov 28, 11 at 17:51
Maybe if I bump your post, others will add their suggestions. Thanks for the compliment. From your photo, it appears the bath is a family or youth bathroom. Only additional thought I have is, consider making the space a wet room by having a waterproof membrane installed under your floor tile. If the floor is cold, of course warming the floor is always nice. |
Thanks fmroberts. Actually it's our only bathroom And no kids in our home, so we'd like to make is as adult as we can, but kid friendly. I was considering heated flooring. Thanks for the bump. I hope to get more suggestions. |
Heat the floor, makes a huge difference when stepping out of the shower on the cool mornings. Love that feature in my bathrooms. |
jgopp, Definitely considering it. Did you install yourself or have it professinally installed? |
- Posted by fnmroberts (My Page) on Mon, Nov 28, 11 at 21:22
If you want it adult, then ditch the tub and replace with a two-person shower. |
ruf: I don't partake in construction regarding my home. It is just too old to do some things myself and I need things done right the first time. I basically become 'project manager and designer' for the time that it is being done. I have a contractor that I absolutely love and have used for almost all my renovations (going on 15 years now). Although, I saw how the heated floor was installed in the bathrooms and the side entryway and it doesn't seem very complicated if you're handy. I agree with fnmroberts that the shower should be a walk in "adult" shower. I'd go with rainshower function if you're into that, something I wish I had done after finishing the master. |
2 cents here... Since you mentioned it is your only bath, I would not remove the tub (although I loath tubs) simply because for resale (if thats an issue for you), you will need a tub in the house. Also, larger tiles in general will make a space look larger since there are fewer joints. Do you have an idea of the look you are going for? Or what colors you like? |
Twn85 - well my hubby won't have it- so we are keeping the tub. I am Looking to do warm cream beige/brown colors. I'm hoping to work around this tile. http://www.glasstileoasis.com/item.asp?item=16608 Possibly as a border or accent to a cream/ beige subway tile. I would love if I can see others who have used similar color tones in their bath. |
fnmroberts...your bathroom looks great! Can I ask where you got your train rack? I want to put one in our bathroom also because we have zero storage for towels in there. |
- Posted by fnmroberts (My Page) on Wed, Nov 30, 11 at 14:56
jreed22 Thank you. Train rack is from Pottery Barn. Update was two winters ago and the last time I was at PB, didn't see our actual style on their display. Might just be a display change so I'd check on-line too. Good luck. |
Jreed22 - we're not starting demo until February. Maybe you can post your finished bathroom for me to see. I'm getting a head start to get some ideas. I prefer not to tile all the walls, but my DH and his contractor friend say I should. I'm sure it will look nice, but I like the clean look of fresh paint. We're planning to do a pedestal sink - in hopes that it will make the bathroom look larger, however storage maybe limited. |
I will definitely post pictures when we are done. We don't have a start date just yet because DH is going to do the demo and he has been crazy busy at work right now. Soon, though(I hope!) I agree with you on the painted walls vs tile walls; I just don't think I'll like tiled walls. maybe because I've lived with the tiled walls for 15 years and I'm sick of it, who knows. Plus, more tiles = more money, so it made that decision easy for me to go with no tiles on the wall ;) I am a little concerned with the lack of storage with a pedestal sink, but I am hoping it makes the bathroom feel a little more open. We are using the Kohler Memoirs sink. I ordered a recessed mirror/cabinet from Restoration Hardware so that will give us a little storage anyway. I am going to ask the congtractor if he can build a little recessed niche or cabinet of some kind in the wall opposite the sink/toilet in hopes of getting a little more storage that way. We will see what we have to work with when we take the walls down. If all else fails, the hairdryer and straightening iron will have to be relocated to the upstairs bathroom, that has a vanity! |
jreed22 - great! looking forward to see pictures. I am aso considering building a cabinet in the wall in the hope of having more storage, which is why I don't want to do tile on that side of the wall. I wanted tile behind the sink area and in the shower only. I agree it would be less tile, which = less $$. |
- Posted by hackwriter (My Page) on Sun, Dec 4, 11 at 19:11
OP: Your bath is like mine, except mine is black tile with seafoam green trim. ;-) I'm doing a partial remodel for now, since the walls are plaster and I can't bear the thought of demolishing tile that's in perfectly good shape and adhered to plaster, and replacing it all with wallboard, even if it's cement board. I'm just wondering what you're planning to do about storage, since you're replacing your vanity with a pedestal sink? That's the one stumbling block I have. I would like to put in a 9" deep freestanding cabinet, but it's impossible to find one. |
I don't have any floor space for a free standing cabinet. I found a great idea online to build in the wall and attach a mirror with a swing to open. I will try to post a picture. |
- Posted by jillaroo123 (My Page) on Wed, Jul 25, 12 at 23:50
I am also doing a bathroom renovation which will be a complete gut and replace. The room is 6'x8'. Is there any plan that could allow that size room to have a bath, shower, toilet and pedestal basin? Any ideas would be appreciated. |

5. A Sun That Never Sets (2001)
Sometimes the calm comes after the storm. During Neurosis's '90s road-warrior days, Scott Kelly would listen to the country and folk albums he grew up with as he fell asleep in the tour van. Those deep-seated Americana influences finally broke into Neurosis's sound on A Sun That Never Sets.
Next to the seismic one-two punch of Through Silver In Blood and Times of Grace, this disc sounds positively airy. Steve Albini's production peels off much of the doomy heft of the preceding efforts, leaving desiccated bones. The sparser tones create room for Kelly and Steve Von Till's considerable songwriting chops, emphasis on the song; their rough-hewn singing drives album highlights like "The Tide," "Stones from the Sky," and the hair-raising three-man vocal round that concludes "Falling Unknown."
A Sun That Never Sets is a transitional album in the sense that it hangs between the density of Times Of Grace and the austerity of The Eye Of Every Storm. Still, its soulful songwriting and towering crescendos make it one of the most memorable metal records of the aughts.
My favorite photograph of Neurosis is the one posted on their Wikipedia entry. It's a grainy shot of the band performing in Seattle in 2008. You can make out the band members, but only just. The blue-white eclipse projected on the wall behind them washes out their features.
It's a great picture, despite the graininess, because it captures the way Neurosis the band subsumes its component individuals. Few bands — and especially few metal bands — have achieved their degree of ego-free cohesion. Neurosis is a singular entity; their music is an austere ritual. Lots of songwriters say that they 'channel' their music rather than compose it. Coming from Neurosis, it's a believable claim.
Neurosis formed in Oakland in 1985, rising from the ashes of a previous band called Violent Coercion. Initially, they were a relatively run-of-the-mill member of the burgeoning Bay Area hardcore punk scene. (Neurosis headlined the second-ever show at the legendary DIY venue 924 Gilman Street; Operation Ivy, No Use For a Name, and pre-Green Day punkers Isocracy played the third.)
Neurosis had become something utterly different by their third studio album, 1992′s Souls At Zero. This second-tier hardcore band was suddenly hard to describe. A touch of punk remained, but Neurosis also crammed sludgy riffage, gradual dynamic shifts, electronic textures, and a whole clutch of non-rock instruments into their lengthy songs. It was artsy music, by contemporary standards; unlike their didactic and/or goofy peers, Neurosis wrote imposing songs and elliptical lyrics that defied easy interpretation. Drawing on Jungian psychology for inspiration, they started festooning their live performances with disturbing visual projections. (Neurosis finally discontinued the practice a few weeks ago.) Souls At Zero was a rarity — a truly original, unprecedented metal album.
Over the ensuing decade, Neurosis would synthesize a laundry list of influences — Black Sabbath, Swans, Amebix, Townes Van Zandt, Black Flag, Loop, Joy Division, Melvins — into a unique approach. (Unique approaches are rarities to be cherished in the metal world.) By the turn of the millennium, Neurosis's slow-burning shamanism had become its own subgenre: post-metal. Some bands, like ISIS and Mastodon, openly aped Neurosis before pursuing other sounds. Many, many others have tried unsuccessfully to simply imitate them. Post-metal has mostly faded, but Neurosis lives on.
Neurosis toured relentlessly for the rest of the '90s. Upon finding themselves pressured into tours that conflicted with their deep-seated DIY ethics, the band retired both their van and their record label affiliation. Their own Neurot Recordings, which was founded to release music by their ambient side project Tribes of Neurot, became their permanent home. In the decade since, Neurosis has effectively become a self-contained studio act, playing rare live dates while its members lead more balanced lives. (One member, Steve Von Till, is a schoolteacher; it is amusing to imagine him leading a classroom full of unsuspecting children.) At present, they've got five US dates scheduled to support their new release, Honor Found In Decay. Coincidentally, just this morning they announced a rare NYC date, on 1/19/2013, five years to the day since their last NYC show.
Neurosis began as a pact among friends who wanted to do something meaningful with their lives. For Neurosis's most enduring lineup — Von Till and Scott Kelly on guitar and vocals, Dave Edwardson on bass and vocals, Jason Roeder on drums, and Noah Landis on electronics — that pact has been fulfilled. Neurosis is one of the most influential and beloved metal bands in the genre, and for good reason. This is the kind of band that inspires devotion, even obsession.
Here are their full-length albums, from worst to best. You can get lost in here. If you're lucky, you will.
All upcoming Neurosis US tour dates:
12/29 – Atlanta @ The Masquerade (w/Rwake, Primate, U.S. Christmas)

practices or otherwise to expand clinical services can still provoke resistance by area practitioners.
More generally, the financing of dental services has incited bitter debate since at least the 1920s. One starting point was the work of the private Committee on the Costs of Medical Care. With funding from several foundations, the committee set out to collect data on the cost and availability of health services. Its five-year investigation generated 27 field studies and a controversial final report (Anderson, 1968; Starr, 1982; IOM, 1993b). One part of this investigation was a survey of the incidence of dental disease and of the cost and availability of dental services (McCluggage, 1959). These studies found that 12 percent of health care spending went to dental services versus 30 percent to physician services and 24 percent to hospitals. The proportion of dentists to population varied from 1:500 to 1:4,000 for the population generally, but it was 1:8,500 among the segregated black population. The committee's proposals for change, which included group practice and voluntary private insurance, were strongly opposed by both the medical and the dental professions. The controversy discouraged the Roosevelt administration from including health coverage as part of its social security proposals.
In the 1940s, a series of government actions almost inadvertently encouraged employers to expand nonwage compensation to their employees (Somers and Somers, 1963; Starr, 1982). Substantial growth in private, employment-based health insurance was one major consequence, although dental insurance specifically did not really begin to grow until the 1970s. Less than 2 percent of the population was covered by private dental insurance in 1965 compared to over 25 percent in 1978 (IOM, 1980). When the Medicare program was established in 1965, it excluded dental services—and that exclusion remains in place. Although required to cover some services for children, most state Medicaid programs pay relatively little for dental care, especially for adults IOTA, 1990). Today, not quite half the U.S. population has some form of public or private coverage for dental services (Keefe, 1994).
Controversy has also surrounded other steps to extend access to dental services. In 1970, Congress established the National Health Service Corps (NHSC; P.L. 91-623) to improve health services in underserved areas. Although the focus was on areas with shortages of health personnel, the legislation also included provisions for partly or fully subsidized care to those who could not afford to pay. In most cases, local medical or dental societies as well as local governments had to agree to designations of shortage areas. Opposition by dental groups was apparently more frequent

Detective Angie Flynn
Kristin Lehman
No stranger to series television, Canadian actress Kristin Lehman most recently starred as the campaign advisor in the critically lauded murder mystery THE KILLING. Prior to this, she appeared in DRIVE with Emma Stone, PRISON BREAK with Wentworth Miller, KILLER INSTINCT, TILT, CENTURY CITY with Viola Davis, JUDGING AMY, STRANGE WORLD, and FELICITY with Keri Russell and Scott Speedman.Lehman will also be featured in the upcoming film The Loft with James Marsden and Karl Urban. Additional film credits include Arthur Newman with Colin Firth and Emily Blunt, The Sentinel with Michael Douglas, The Chronicles of Riddick with Vin Diesel and Judi Dench, and The Way of the Gun with Benicio Del Toro.
Born and raised in Vancouver, Lehman and her husband are the proud parents of a five-year-old son.
Detective Angie Flynn
Some things in Angie's life have stayed the same. She still rents her house in a working class neighbourhood and drives a "classic" Oldsmobile Hurst, but there has been one major change – her son, Manny, left home to attend college. Now technically an empty-nester, Angie dives even further into her work, but the station's new team commander doesn't make it easy on her.Sergeant Mark Cross has a mysterious connection to Angie's past, one she's not keen to revisit. She's never let her personal life get in the way of her job, but what happens when the lines between personal and professional are blurred?
As always, Angie looks to her partner Vega for support. He's her rock and confidant. But three can be a crowd and the addition of Cross tests Angie and Vega's relationship in a way it never has before.
Through it all, Angie calls on her experiences each time she's faced with a challenge. She's impulsive, determined, and always speaks her mind. But as a mother, she's caring and empathetic – having a soft spot for the underdog and spending more time fighting for others than she does herself. It's a combination uniquely Angie and there's no way she'd ever change.

South African olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius arrested on suspicion of murder after his girlfriend has been shot dead. BBC reporting breaking news just now.
South African olympic athlete Oscar Pistorius arrested on suspicion of murder after his girlfriend has been shot dead. BBC reporting breaking news just now.
I came here to start a thread on this.
Pistorius took four shots at his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, from a 9 mm automatic pistol inside his home in South Africa. He hit her twice, once in the arm and once in the head.
Reeva Steenkamp had tweeted to Pistorius yesterday:
Murder, apparently."What do you have up your sleeve for love tomorrow??? #getexcited #ValentinesDay"

Tragic love affair on Valentines Day--sad---
I know this is going to be spun around to "the" talking points. I will just point out that these types of homicides, i.e. boyfriend/girlfriend, husband/wife, happen thousands of times everyday and have been for millennia.
He thought his house was being burglarized, didn't he?
Sadly played out everyday all around the world. You never know what goes on behind closed doors
This will be a beyond a reasonable doubt thing. I have to believe him until proof that it is murder.
BEWARE! Harassing the Indian may result in sudden and severe hair loss.
South African police are saying there is a history of "domestic incidents" at the Pistorius home. They say that reports that Pistorius may have mistaken his girlfriend for an intruder did not come from them.
Not looking good for Pistorius.
If he is found guilty of this, i hope his celebrity won't buy him leniency.
Latest report says there was a history of domestic issues on the police record.
So it is a high probability of murder.
Living in a very high security area .. ?
Now burglar is almost an impossibility.
She was a beautiful and intelligent woman. What a tragedy to see her murdered in her prime.

All eyes were on Oscar during the Summer Olympics...We talked about him in the Hot Topics Summer Olympics thread...Inspiring life-story...I liked him, he's eye-Candy, looked good in his Spandex and he seemed so down to earth during interviews...Crazy to hear this story about him now that he's more Famous than ever....But he must have a temper on him because the police have been called out to his home in the past...
I'm going to wait for more evidence because everything that's being leaked about would COULD have happened is speculation....
Mitchymo...You need to ask the Moderators to add Oscar's name to the Title of this thread...It's a popular current event and people might skip over the current title...

The area where he lived has 10 foot high walls topped with electrified razor wire.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/02/14/world/...ing/index.htmlIn 2009 Silver Woods, built around a golf course, was voted "the most secure estate in South Africa", according to its website. It has a three-metre-high wall, electrified fences, armed 24-hour security guards and manned, controlled access.
Sounds like he lived in a high security area to me."This is a very quiet area, and this is a secure estate," Beukes said.
Take a drive around Sandton, a northern suburb of Johannesburg... there's razor wire and walls everywhere. When you're behind those fences, you're secure.

I went to their web site
but my browser wasn't cooperating, so I checked here:
Residents in the estate say there has been no security incident behind its walls for more than two yearsThe place sounds safer than Chicago. Even Kenilworth too.In order to gain access to Paralympian Oscar Pistorius' upmarket security estate, one has to pass a manned boom under the watchful gaze of closed circuit cameras, produce identification, sign in with officials, and call a specific unit number, for the resident to then buzz in any visitor.
It appears someone's more likely to be killed by a resident, not an intruder.
Interesting that Oscar is hiding his Face in SHAME. His Dad gave a statement to some reporter or newspaper saying Oscar is sad & embarrassed Really?...I wonder if he was he embarrassed back in 2009 when a 19yr old lady accused him of assaulting her? As more of his background comes to light its beginning to look like Oscar has a SERIOUS anger problem Oscar LOVED when his Face GRACED Magazine covers across the Globe and now that its been alleged he shot that Beautiful young Girl hes SAD & embarrassed?
If the evidence proves he unloaded 4-bullets into Reeva while she was in his bathroom, on top of some floating police reports documenting domestic disputes he pretty much handed the Prosecutor his freedom on a platter
BEWARE! Harassing the Indian may result in sudden and severe hair loss.
Pistorius was known for his aggressive nature and violent temper, and often boasted about his fanatical love of guns.
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/201...olence-emergesPistorius also told his Twitter followers how he had pulled a gun out after hearing his washing machine going at his home and thinking it was an intruder. "Nothing like getting home to hear the washing machine on thinking its an intruder to go into full combat recon mode into the pantry! waa" he tweeted in November.
That month, a newspaper also reported the runner had threatened to "break the legs" of a friend of a man he thought had slept with his then girlfriend.
The 26-year-old athlete had also told reporters about drawing a pistol to search his home when his alarm went off the night before an interview and said he slept with a pistol, machine gun, cricket bat and baseball bat for protection.
In 2009, Pistorius was arrested after a 19-year-old woman accused him of assault, but no charges were brought against him because of a lack of evidence.
"Bloodied cricket bat 'found' at Pistorius home
Steenkamp's skull had been "crushed"." "There was lots of blood on the bat,"
I wondered about domestic conflict, why don't they go their separate ways.
Who stopped them? Especially if there is no blood relationship, its easier to walk away.

Lots of abused women stay with their abusers - there's a fuck load of research about that.
I am not giving in yet. He has not said he intentionally killed her. So far it is just an accident.
Rumors are coming out and you cannot CANNOT rely on rumors.
BEWARE! Harassing the Indian may result in sudden and severe hair loss.
an accident ?
r u serious ?
Yes, I'm serious. Sorry to disagree with you.
BEWARE! Harassing the Indian may result in sudden and severe hair loss.
I'm more inclined to believe that he did INTEND to hurt her, but i also believe that he wasn't in his right mind at the time. For whatever reason, the red mist descended and....
It looks like Reeva Steenkamp's Agent is already in Oscar's corner…
"SteenKamp's agent, Sarita Tomlinson, tearfully told Reuters. "They did have a good relationship. Nobody actually knows what happened."
Interesting...I wonder if the local-Police leaked or provided the information about the cricket bat & Reevas fractured skull? The tabloids in that country are ferociously covering this story like hounds..They're reporting every second and printing every word that is uttered about this horrific event...I wish we could separate facts from speculation..
So Oscar's Defense Team is saying he THOUGHT an intruder was in his bathroom. He got up, walked down the hall, shook the door knob, realized the Intruder was in there and instead of calling 911 he shot 4 rounds into the door...Wow…They gotta do better than that….
"She couldn't go anywhere. You can run nowhere," prosecutor Gerrie Nel said at a bail hearing."
"Nel said the couple had had a shouting match and Steenkamp fled to the bathroom, down a seven-meter (yard) passage from the bedroom, and locked herself in. He said the 26-year-old Pistorius got up from bed and had to put on his prosthetic legs to reach the toilet door."
"Nel told the court the door was broken open after the shots were fired. Pistorius' lawyer insisted there was no evidence to substantiate a murder charge.
"Was it to kill her, or was it to get her out?" defense attorney Barry Roux asked the court, referring to the broken-down door. "We submit it is not even murder. There is no concession this is a murder."
The judge says the Premeditated Murder charge could be downgraded later I'm guessing to Murder or Manslaughter…As much as I liked that Super Nice Celeb Oscar showed the world during the Olympics I believe he wanted to scare the Shit out of Reeva. Maybe, just maybe he only wanted to terrorize her while she locked herself in the bathroom…
Was he stupid enough to forget Bullets can go through most doors? I don't see how the Charge can go any lower than Murder...

Shifting Perspectives: Druid feral cat raiding strategy for Cataclysm, part 2 {WoW}
Mar 29th 2011 1:29PM Nice article, but during the Atramedes fight, if you get targeted by the Sonic Breath during the ground phase you SHOULD NOT use a movement speed increasing ability because he will follow you for as fast as you are moving. Our feral druid and our rogue have wiped us because of this. Atramedes just spun around really quickly and hit everyone. You should also try to move in as wide of a circle as possible since ferals do have 30% increased movement speed so that people that are in front of you have a chance to outrun it.

On March 18th, 2004, Bridgette Herian made the fateful decision to be my best girl.
A year later, I salute her.
I salute her for putting up with the troubling meanderings of my mind. Last night, for instance, I posited this question to her: "What would your reaction be if you came into my room and caught me making out with Hitler?" Many other times I have shared tales of troubling infidelity and comic animal mutilation with her, and she just rolls with it.
Why would she put up with this, when clearly there is nothing physically, financially, or nutritionally attractive about me? I truly don't know, but I refuse to question it. I found a girl who loves me and isn't alienated by my terrible, hateful personality and obsession with life's unmentionables. She doesn't even seem to mind my irregular bathing and unnatural love of the "Beastmaster" film series.
It's been a great year. A year I certainly don't deserve.
Thanks, Bridgette.

Knapen welcomes steps to modernise World Bank
At the annual meeting of the World Bank in Tokyo, international cooperation minister Ben Knapen has welcomed moves to modernise the Bank under its new president Jim Yong Kim.
Mr Knapen stressed that, when money is lent, it must take account of changing relations in the world. He also spoke up for fragile states like South Sudan and Yemen.
The Netherlands contributes €300 million annually to the World Bank, which provides loans and investment capital to developing countries. The Bank's terms for lending money largely depend on incomes in the borrowing country. In 1969, most of the money it lent to poor countries came from the governments of rich countries. Now, that proportion is only 14%. An increasing amount now comes from the private sector and other new donors, with whom, in Mr Knapen's view, the World Bank should work more closely.
Moreover, the world has recently seen an increase in the number of middle-income countries like India that still have many poor people. At the end of next year, we will need to decide whether these countries still qualify for the most favourable terms and whether the Bank will need to adapt its goals.
At the Tokyo meeting, participants asked whether the World Bank should focus on poor people rather than on poor countries and whether it should get more closely involved with global issues such as climate change.
In Mr Knapen's view, sustainability goals must be included in the new international agreements that will replace the Millennium Development Goals after 2015. 'The World Bank is right to tackle this issue, but its ambitions to embrace global public goods must not lead it to reduce its efforts on behalf of fragile states.'
The latest reports on the internationally agreed Millennium Development Goals for fighting poverty shows that fragile states have made the least progress. The Netherlands has co-initiated a new strategy for these countries.
Mr Knapen praised Mr Kim for taking the time during the meeting and in the margins to speak with representatives of fragile states. 'It's refreshing to see how he is approaching the task and opening the World Bank's doors.'

VIDEO: A.I. girls soccer downs Appo A.I. duPont's Cynthia Hagerty and Stephanie Davis helped lift the Tigers 2-0 over Appoquinimink in a competitive Blue Hen Flight A Conference battle on Monday night. In the 33rd minute, Hagerty had the open shot, after a foul was called on the Jaguars, to give the Tigers the early 1-0 lead going into the half. Appo and A.I. (8-2-1) both tallied nine shots a piece, but Appo couldn't quite connect as A.I.'s goalkeeper Anna Bradley saved them all. Late in the second, Haley McNaulty spotted Davis with an open look down field. With the right touch, Davis snuck one by Appo's Haley Wahrhaftig. The Tigers handed Appo their second loss of the season. Appo's only other loss was against Charter last week. Appo (10-2) will host Senior Night against St. Mark's on Wednesday, while A.I. heads to Middletown for more Flight A action to try and extend a three game winning streak. |

Five Acres of Patriotism
By Debra Gibson Isaacs from July 2014 Issue
Credit: Jon Paul
The year after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States, Bob and Doris Burr of Bowling Green wanted to do something to "show support" for their country. When the Fourth of July arrived, their support couldn't be missed. The couple had a 5-acre flag painted on the land leading up to their home. In following years they not only painted the flag again but added a party with country music bands and fireworks. One year they even managed to have two Black Hawk helicopters land on the flag (shown here). After retiring, the Burrs no longer hold the huge parties but they are as patriotic as ever. "We believe in our country," says Bob. "We believe in our constitution. We believe this is something real good to do to show our love for America."

How do I get a quote?The easiest way to get a quote is to simply stop-in. We are now staffed to provide estimates on a first come, first served basis. The key to an accurate estimate is to set aside the proper amount of time to allow a thorough inspection of your vehicle.

This is my favourite kind of Michael Cox article because it's a kind of subtle two fingers to the "tactics don't explain everything you know!" crowd who inevitably show up to tell people who've thought long and hard about these things for months and years the flippin' obvious.
Anyway, Cox gets to the hard, tactical core of what Harry Redknapp brings to QPR, and what they desperately need. Haul out your patented AVB tactical notebooks and Texas Instruments programmable calculators children, this is going to be really painful! Here, in full, is Cox's diagnosis of the Loftus Road disease:
"As any QPR fan will tell you, the problem has been with motivation, determination and belief."
Those ineffable things that don't quite make sense on a chalkboard and yet matter deeply all the same. In all seriousness, Cox goes onto explain that while Redknapp is a tactician (though not a technocrat), his approach speaks more to his ability to work with footballers.
And yes, that means something vitally important in improving performance, as the weak-tea Harvard Business School study on Sir Alex Ferguson inadvertently demonstrated. A lot of his genius is knowing how to deal with footballers, who to groom them, how to cushion their disappointment, how to motivate them to play to the best of their ability.
There's no graph for that, but it matters nevertheless. And I'd introduce you to the serious tactics analyst and statistician who thinks differently, but he's sadly made of straw.

Recommended: Rose & Chocolate Macaron from Chocolate & Macaron
By danderma | October 2, 2012
Even though I am not a fan of macarons I have to admit there is one kind of macaron that is growing on me. The chocolate rose marshmallow one from Chocolate & Macaron. I don't usually reach out for macarons when they are available but I did reach out for that particular one for the first time in a Ramadan ghabga at Just Noon's and ever since I've been hooked.
I don't know why this macaron tastes different but I think the combination of flavors and textures does work indeed. They are made by Chocolate & Macaron in Kuwait and again, Just Noon had brought over a box of their macarons for the movie night which I've yet to post about. Caramel & Pistachio were some of the flavors she brought as well.
Chocolate and Macarons also have a new macaron flavor: Salted Caramel! It was good yet a tad too salty. Still really good though.
I also got some macarons for dessert from Chocolate & Macaron in the last dinner party I've thrown (post).
If you still can't make up your minds regarding macarons I suggest you give that rose chocolate one a try and maybe you will change your mind. I do quite enjoy it even though I'm not a macarons person still but that one is for some reason different and worth a try.
Chocolate & Macaron have many locations in Kuwait. You can find out more about them by visiting their facebook page (link), follow them on Twitter (@ChocoandMacaron) or instagram (@ChocoandMacaron).
