Thrice is an American rock band from Irvine, California, formed in 1998. The group was founded by guitarist/vocalist Dustin Kensrue and guitarist Teppei Teranishi while they were in high school.[1]
Early in their career, the band was known for fast, hard music based in heavily distorted guitars, prominent lead guitar lines, and frequent changes in complex time signatures.[2] This style is exemplified on their second album, The Illusion of Safety (2002) and their third album The Artist in the Ambulance (2003). Their fourth album Vheissu (2005) made significant changes by incorporating electronic beats, keyboards, and more experimental and nuanced songwriting.[3][4] Their fifth effort was a double album entitled The Alchemy Index (2007/2008), released as two sets of two CDs that together make a 4-part, 24-song cycle. Each of the four 6-song EPs of the Alchemy Index features significantly different styles, based on different aspects of the band's musical aesthetic which reflect the elemental themes of fire, water, air and earth, both lyrically and musically.[5] The band's sixth album, entitled Beggars, was released on August 11, 2009, and their seventh, Major/Minor on September 20, 2011. The most recent albums feature a refined combination of the band's different experiments and explorations.
Each album released by Thrice has had a portion of its sales proceeds donated to a new charitable organization.[6][7]
Dustin Kensrue and Teppei Teranishi knew each other from school and had played in a band called Chapter 11. Teppei recruited his skate park friend Eddie Breckenridge to play bass, who then brought his brother Riley on as a drummer.[8] In 1998, before their first show, they realized they needed a name. Hard-pressed for time, they decided to go with the name 'Thrice' out of desperation. Thrice was initially an inside joke between the band members, and they were going to use it only temporarily for their first show. However, they began to gain fans with the name, and people started to associate them with it, so they were forced to keep it.[9]
In 1999, the band self-released an EP titled First Impressions which was the product of a two-day session at A-Room Studios with Brian Tochilin.[10] Only 1,000 copies were made and the band members sold them out of their cars.[10] Working with Death by Stereo's Paul Miner, the quartet recorded 12 tracks, and by April 2000, the group had released Identity Crisis on Greenflag Records. A portion of the album's proceeds were donated to a local charity called Crittenton Services for Children and Families.[11] More support gigs and local buzz followed, and Thrice sparked the interest of Hopeless/Sub City's Louis Posen.[12] In 2001, Posen signed with the band, reissued Identity Crisis, and sent the group out on tour with Samiam. Tours with Midtown and Hot Rod Circuit followed.[1]

Thrice re-entered the studio with producer Brian McTernan to record its Hopeless/Sub City debut, The Illusion of Safety. The album was released in February 2002 and the band toured extensively to support it, opening for Further Seems Forever and Face to Face before embarking on its first headlining tour later that year. The band again donated a portion of the album's proceeds, this time choosing a non-profit youth shelter in South Central Los Angeles, A Place Called Home. The band's donations were matched by their label.[13]
The album received generally positive reviews and garnered the attention of several major labels. The band eventually signed with Island Records, who had agreed to match Thrice's charitable donations in the same manner that Hopeless/Sub City had.[13] That fall, the band toured with Hot Water Music and Coheed and Cambria before returning to the studio.[1]
In 2003, the band released its Island Records debut, The Artist in the Ambulance. The album's title is in reference to Burn Collector by Al Burian and is meant to reflect the band's desire to do more than make music and contribute to society through their charitable donations.[7] A portion of the album's proceeds were this time donated to the Syrentha Savio Endowment, a financial aid organization for breast cancer patients. First pressings of the album were packaged in a digipak-style case with postcards containing lyrics and notes from the band.[14]
The album spawned two singles, "All That's Left" and "Stare at the Sun." Both songs, and their accompanying videos, received modest airplay, with "Stare at the Sun" being featured in the video game SSX 3, published through EA Sports BIG Electronic Arts, and the band found themselves playing at larger venues as the year progressed. A co-headlining fall tour with labelmates Thursday and opener Coheed and Cambria sold out across the United States,[15] as well as a stint on the Honda Civic Tour with Dashboard Confessional, The Get Up Kids, and Hot Water Music.[16] The song "The Artist In The Ambulance" was featured in the video game Test Drive Eve Of Destruction.
Throughout 2004, the band continued to tour in support of The Artist in the Ambulance. Island Records issued a promotional disc (that features an alternate version of "The Artist in the Ambulance") in early 2004 that would become the basis for If We Could Only See Us Now, a CD/DVD package outlining the group's career.[17] Named after a lyric from "So Strange I Remember You," the CD portion contained live tracks from a performance at the Apple Store and various B-sides. A slot to promote the CD/DVD came on the 2004 Vans Warped Tour. The song "Stare At The Sun" was featured in the videogame SSX3.
Thrice spent much of the first half of 2005 working with producer Steve Osborne on the follow-up to The Artist in the Ambulance. Thrice released Vheissu in October 2005 with "Image of the Invisible" as the first single. The album's title was taken from the Thomas Pynchon novel V.,[18] and featured a wider variety of instrumentation than used in the band's previous albums, including the use of strings, electronics, and a Rhodes Piano.[19] Many of the album's lyrics also feature biblical, spiritual, and abstract themes.
For the band's donations related to this album's sales proceeds, Thrice chose novelist Dave Eggers's charity 826 Valencia, a tutorial program for underprivileged children, which promotes literacy and aids teens in developing creative writing skills.[18] In return, Eggers created the cover art for Vheissu.[20]
The band toured extensively in support of the album, including headlining the 2006 Taste of Chaos tour and performing "Image of the Invisible" on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[18] In April 2006, the band released "Red Sky" as the second single from the album.[21] The accompanying video was directed by Tim Hope, who had previously directed videos for Coldplay and Jimmy Eat World.[22] Instead of releasing just a single, Thrice opted to release the Red Sky EP in support of the single, which included two previously unreleased tracks and four live tracks.[21]

In September 2006, the band announced plans for a new album (later titled The Alchemy Index) on their official website. The album was conceived as a series of 4 EPs, each of which represents an element of nature: fire, water, air, and earth. The band maintained a studio blog titled "Alchemy Index" throughout the recording process.[23]
During the recording process, the band announced that they were leaving Island Records, citing a difference of opinion on the band's future direction as the reason for the split.[24] The band joined Vagrant Records on August 9, 2007.[25]
On October 12, 2007, Thrice released the first two songs from the Alchemy Index in their entirety through the band's MySpace page.[26] The Alchemy Index Vols. I & II was released on October 16, 2007 and sold 28,000 copies in its first week. It debuted at number 24 on the Billboard 200 chart,[27] and it topped at number five on the iTunes top-selling albums.[28] To promote the new album, Thrice toured with the bands MewithoutYou and Brand New, and followed with a series of Canadian shows with bands Say Anything and Attack in Black. The second half of the project, The Alchemy Index Vols. III & IV - Earth & Air, was released on April 15, 2008.
The final song on each disc is written in the form of a sonnet, depicting the relationship of man with each of the particular elements. Each of these songs is in iambic pentameter, with a concluding rhyming couplet. These final couplets also contain the same vocal melody and chord progression as each other, although they are in different keys.
Thrice toured with Circa Survive and Pelican in Spring 2008 to support The Alchemy Index, which had now been released in full.[29] The third-to-last show of this tour—the May 28, 2008 show at the House of Blues in Anaheim—was filmed for a live CD/DVD titled Live at the House of Blues. The live album spans 2 CDs and a DVD with live footage and an exclusive interview in which the band answers fan-submitted questions.[30] In Fall 2008, they embarked on a tour supporting Rise Against, along with Alkaline Trio and The Gaslight Anthem.
On January 4, 2009, the band announced on its website that writing had begun for the follow-up to The Alchemy Index,[31] with the title announced as Beggars on June 15, 2009.[32] A July update to the band's website revealed the release date to be October 13, 2009.[33] However, after the album was leaked several months in advance,[34] the band announced on their website on July 23, 2009 that the album would be released exclusively to iTunes on August 11. The physical CD was released on September 15, 2009. Bonus content included two b-sides from the Beggars sessions, two remixes, and a studio rendition of their cover of The Beatles' "Helter Skelter".[35]
Feeling that the band's previous two projects (The Alchemy Index and Vheissu) had a "sleepy feeling" to them, Thrice wanted to make a record that was "a little more upbeat and energetic."[36] Thrice's members also hoped to save money and spend more time with their families by building a recording studio in guitarist Teppei Teranishi's home.[36] Originally, the band expressed interest in tracking the record live[36] (i.e. recording the full band all at once, instead of each instrument individually and mixing together at a later time) in the home studio; however Thrice later abandoned the idea of recording this way. Instead, the band recorded songs with "similar vibe[s] musically, and tonally" in the same session.[37] Several wooden devices were constructed by the band for the home studio to make the recordings "sound better."[38] The self-produced album was released through Vagrant Records.[36]
Thrice played The Bamboozle Left festival in April,[39] and played selected dates on the summer's Warped Tour.[40] Throughout the Warped Tour shows, Thrice played "All the World is Mad," "At the Last" and "The Weight."[41]
The song "All the World is Mad" is featured in the Vagrant Song Pack for Guitar Hero, which was released on July 23, 2009. "Deadbolt" appears on Guitar Hero 5.[42]
On July 29, Brand New announced that Thrice would be playing on select dates of their Fall North American tour.[43] Multiple shows were sold out, and the band notably performed a cover of The Beatles's "Helter Skelter".[44] After this leg of the tour, Thrice began a tour with The Dear Hunter, but they had to play without guitarist Teppei Teranishi who left due to a family emergency.[45]
In 2009, while on the Vans Warped Tour in Houston, TX, the band autographed a Gibson Guitar for the non-profit Music Saves Lives and assisted in their goal of raising the nation's blood supply.
Thrice posted a poll for fans to vote for which song from Beggars to use for a music video. "All the World is Mad", "The Weight", "Circles" and "In Exile" were the choices for the poll, with "In Exile" narrowly beating "The Weight" even after some voters hacked into the system to try to choose the winner. The live-themed, black and white music video premiered on MySpace Music on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, 2009, their first live video since 2002's "Deadbolt."
Thrice's Spring (2010) tour with Manchester Orchestra was unfortunately cut short on April 23 when Dustin Kensrue had to leave because of an illness in the family.[46]
In an interview with Blare Magazine on June 16, 2010, Kensrue revealed that each member has been writing music for a new Thrice album individually, and that "pretty soon" the band will enter the studio to write and record an album collectively.[47]
On April 20, 2011 Thrice announced on their website that their next album was ready to go and studio bound. The album was recorded in May 2011 at Red Bull Studios, with most of the parts being recorded there and the band adding overdubs and "tweaking" a few things in Teppei's home recording studio (New Grass Studios) in the days after recording at Red Bull Studios.
The new album, titled Major/Minor, was released on September 20, 2011 through Vagrant Records.[48]
Following Thrice's spring 2012 tour, the band went on hiatus. In the group's public statement, Kensrue stated that "Thrice is not breaking up," and that the band will be "taking a break from being a full-time band."[49]
Thrice, accompanied by Animals as Leaders and O'Brother, began their farewell tour on May 4, 2012 in San Diego and ended it with a 33-song solo show on June 19, 2012 in Santa Ana. The tour's setlist song pool was determined by a fan vote on their entire song catalog (excluding First Impressions).[50] Thrice's second live album, Anthology, was released on October 30, 2012 on two CDs and as a quadruple 180 gram LP box set limited to 3000 copies, and features 24 songs recorded at select shows along the tour.[51]
Thrice's last interview aired on June 18, 2012 just one day after the band wrapped on their farewell tour.[citation needed] JC from theFIVE10 Radio spoke with Eddie and Teppei.[52]
Riley Breckenridge plays drums in a grindcore side project called Puig Destroyer[53] with Ian Miller (KWC), Jon Howell (KWC, Tigon), and Mike Minnick (Curl Up and Die).[54] Their self-titled demo is composed of six songs clocking in at about six minutes, which is the number of Yasiel Puig (66) of the Los Angeles Dodgers, whom the six song demo is inspired by. The name is a reference to both Puig and grindcore band Pig Destroyer.[55] The demo was released on a 7" 45rpm vinyl by The Ghost Is Clear Records.
Eddie Breckenridge joined the alternative rock band Angels & Airwaves in June of 2014, which also features current/former members of Blink-182, Nine Inch Nails and Hazen Street.[citation needed]
Dustin Kensrue released his first solo album, on Equal Vision Records on January 23, 2007, titled Please Come Home. The album opened at 142 on the Billboard 200 with 5,800 copies sold.[56] The follow-up was Christmas album, called This Good Night Is Still Everywhere, released in 2008 and featured two original Christmas songs and covers of Christmas carols.[57]
Dustin Kensrue revived his solo career by joining Lee Neujahr (drums), Phil Neujahr (Bass), and Jonny Sandu (synth), in order to form the band, The Modern Post.[58] The Modern Post released their first EP in 2012 called Grace Alone. Next, Kensrue released a worship album on his own, entitled The Water & the Blood, on September 30, 2013. In July 2014, Kensrue announced that he was working on a follow-up to This Good Night with a five-track Christmas EP including a re-working of "This Is War".[59]
Teppei Teranishi is in a side project with Chris Jones called Black Unicorn. Chris Jones also played drums and electric guitar on Dustin's solo album.
Dustin Kensrue provided guest vocals and Teppei Teranishi played guitar/provided production on The Out Circuit's album Pierce The Empire With a Sound.

It's not all looking down microscopes for the work of a Natural History Museum scientist. Plant expert Dr Maria Vorontsova is on the hunt for wild spiny aubergines in Africa and she records her daily activities in a new NaturePlus blog.

So far, Maria has climbed up 2 mountains, taken a 5-metre fall and seen the strange sausage tree. She has also found out how some aubergine species help farmers keep away the ants and how climate change may be affecting the growing seasons.
'It is amazing to be able to tell the world about things that are important to me,' says Maria. 'The Tanzanian flora is so poorly known and so endangered, I want everyone to know so we can all help preserve it.'
Maria is searching for some of the 29 species of wild spiny aubergines that exist in Tanzania, and not the common cultivated aubergine, or eggplant, on sale in shops around the world, which comes from just one species called Solanum melongena.
The wild spiny aubergine Solanum thomsonii is found only in Tanzania (endemic) and has small orange fruits. © Maria Vorontsova
The Solanum genus of plants, which the aubergine belong to, is extremely important worldwide and includes many other vital food crops such as potatoes and tomatoes.
There are many Solanum specimens in the Museum's world-class botany collection. However, there are always gaps to fill and Maria's work should help with this, as well as increase scientists' understanding of this essential plant group.
Maria has already cleared up one puzzle. In the Museum, Maria works from a collection of sheets of preserved pressed plants (herbarium) and wanted to find out if 2 similar looking plants were the same species or different.
Already, out in Tanzania, she has found the 2 species growing side by side and was able to confirm the differences and that they are indeed separate species.

Identifying the differences between 29 species is not an easy task. Branches and leaves can look quite similar but the key is finding flowers, fruit or having a microscope to look at the tiny stem hairs. The flowers and fruit should appear in the rainy season, in March, but Maria had to wait until the very last day of March for the rains to begin properly.
Another factor that didn't help identification was goats, as Maria found out when she was searching for one particular species. Local people told her that as soon the flowers and fruits appear, the goats eat them!
Maria's research trip began last month and she is also travelling to Kenya. So far her team has found some of the aubergine species they were looking for, some that are only found in Tanzania (endemic) and Maria also hopes to find 3 new species. Follow her blog to get regular updates.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Nancy Eckerson: Tenth Boston Marathon a drop in the bucket for Dover's Kounlasa
Sunday, April 14, 2013
Numbers are important to runners – race times, pace, miles run. Milestone races make that list too and for Sinthy Kounlasa of Dover, this year's Boston Marathon will be her tenth time at the historic race, and 81st overall marathon. Kounlasa, 56, is a petite woman with endless energy and enthusiasm for running, racing and life. She's a runner, triathlete, and snowshoe racer who recently placed second in her age group at the 2013 Snowshoe National Championships held in March. She's competed in road and trail races from 5Ks up to 50 miles, and triathlons up to Half Ironman (70.3 total miles of swimming, biking and running) where she qualified for and competed at the World Championships. She holds a number of N.H. state age-group records including the half marathon (age 50, 1:39:03) and two for marathons (age 51, 3:28:28; age 53, 3:50:44.)Impressive for anyone, but even more so for someone who did not start to run until after the age of 40.
A local race that holds special meaning for Kounlasa is the St. Charles Children's Home 5K that benefits the St. Charles Children's Home in Rochester, a group home for children from families in crisis.

We have come a long way since the first Thanksgiving in history. I don't think that is a good thing, though.
Thanksgiving used to be pretty laid back around my family's house, but in 2011, stores started a new tradition of opening up at midnight on Thanksgiving for Black Friday. This meant that instead of enjoying a night of peaceful slumber after a big meal, I had to get up from a nap at eleven and go with my family to the hell that is Black Friday shopping.
I miss the years when I could just get a good long rest after eating so much! It does not feel good to run and fight and stand in long lines for toys on such a full stomach!

Jardines de Murillo, Seville
Barrio Santa Cruz
Spain 41004
Concierge.com's insider take:
Just a hop, skip, and salto from major tourist stops and watering holes, the Murillo Gardens are easy to recommend, yet often overlooked. The park, hidden behind the Alcázar palace walls, is essentially a backyard for the maze of alleys that form the endlessly explorable Barrio Santa Cruz. The gardens are named for a famous son of the city, Baroque painter Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, yet their calling card is a striking statue honoring another major player in Seville history, Christopher Columbus. Though the monument merits a look for its odd rendering of Columbus' Santa Maria impaled on a pair of towering columns, it is the park's quieter charms that are worth lingering for: the palms, colossal banyans, and tile-edged gardens, walkways, benches, and fountains. With backdoor access to some of the Barrio's less traveled, most atmospheric plazas and patios, this is a shady spot to contemplate the picturesque present and charged history of the neighborhood, centuries ago Seville's Jewish quarter. The gardens are also a handy escape for families with kids maxing out on culture or cobblestones.—Patricia Reilly

Article brought to you by: Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)Deadly delay: Many women waiting six months to hear results of ovarian tests
By Catholic Online (NEWS CONSORTIUM)
January 23rd, 2013 Catholic Online (www.catholic.org) In a shocking new study, it has been learned that one in three women with ovarian cancer had to wait six months or more to be diagnosed after first seeing their doctor. Target Ovarian Cancer says that the delay in treatment for an often "silent killer" as it is difficult to diagnose may have fatal results. LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Initial symptoms for ovarian cancer may include a distended abdomen and a sense of bloating. Thirty percent of these women are wrongly misdiagnosed with irritable bowel syndrome, 15 percent ovarian cysts and 13 percent a urinary infection.It's estimated that 500 lives a year could be saved through earlier diagnosis if the United Kingdom could match the best rates in Europe. The charity's Pathfinder Study found that almost a third of women with the disease had to wait at least six months for a correct diagnosis. More troubling is the fact that even when GPs suspect ovarian cancer, one in 10 doctors had the request for a diagnostic test refused by trusts or hospitals. Female patients as well may take time to act, with one in four taking more than three months to visit their GP after first symptoms. More than half took over a month, with one in 10 never consulting their GP about their complaints. The figures were revealed in a survey of doctors, nurses and patients. About 4,400 women die annually from the disease, often because it is found only when it has spread to other parts of the body. Married with three children, 60-year-old Esther Matthews of Kent, who is developed symptoms of bloating, abdominal pain and breathlessness in February of 2010. Her doctor initially diagnosed a urinary infection and prescribed antibiotics, but when it didn't clear up it took weeks to get hospital tests. "Misdiagnosis and delays meant seven frustrating months before I was finally diagnosed with ovarian cancer. It was a frightening and anxious time for me and my family. "I was lucky, and am now free of cancer, but for many, the delay means their cancer has already spread, and treatment is difficult." "We must improve symptom awareness with women, improve GP knowledge and ensure they have prompt access to diagnostic tests,' Annwen Jones, Chief Executive of Target Ovarian Cancer says.

Aronia berry health benefit, this
plant is known by the botanical name Aronia arbutifolia or
melanocarpa, by
Ray Sahelian, M.D.
January 10 2015
Aronia or chokeberries are native to eastern North America and
are often found growing in swamps or damp woodlands. The hardy shrub
reaches about 2-4 meters in height and withstands salt and swampy conditions.
The plant produces very bitter dark purple fruit clusters that are often used in
jam and wine making. Aronia
berries have been an
important and integral part of the native Indian diet for hundreds of years.
Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice and anthocyanins derived from the
fruits have been studied intensively, particularly in Bulgaria and eastern
Europe. This plant appears to have compounds that are protective to the liver, have
blood sugar stabilizing properties, anti-tumor, and have anti-inflammatory
Nutritional content
Aronia contains a high concentration of flavonoids and antioxidants. Berries are full of flavonoids, trace minerals and phenolic phytochemicals,
including anthocyanins, of which it contains one of the highest of any known
plant (several times higher than cranberry juice). Some of these specific
substances include cyanidin-3-galactoside, epicatechin, quercetin, caffeic acid,
delphinidin, malvidin, petunidin, pelargonidin, and peonidin.
Health benefit
Aronia melanocarpa fruits are one of the richest plant sources of phenolic
substances, mainly anthocyanins--glycosides of cyanidin. Anthocyanins are water
soluble pigments accounting for the dark blue and even black color of the
fruits. The main active ingredients of Aronia melanocarpa fruit are phenolic
substances, mainly flavonoids from the anthocyanin subclass. Aronia may be
helpful in blood sugar control and reduction of cardiovascular risk factors..
Combination therapy of statin with flavonoids rich
extract from chokeberry fruits enhanced reduction in cardiovascular risk markers
in patients after myocardial infraction (MI).
Atherosclerosis. 2007. Department of Pharmacognosy and Molecular Basis of Phythotherapy,
Medical University of Warsaw, Warszawa, Poland; Center for
Atherosclerosis Research, Pomeranian Medical University Szczecin, Poland.
patients who survived myocardial
infraction and have received statin therapy for at least 6 months (80% dose of
40mg/day simvastatin) were included in the study. The subjects were randomised
to receive either 3x 85mg/day of chokeberry flavonoid extract (Aronia
melanocarpa E) or placebo for a period of 6 weeks. The study extract was a
commercially-available product of the following declared composition: anthocyans
(about 25%), polymeric procyanidines (about 50%) and phenolic acids (about 9%).
Compared to placebo, flavonoids significantly reduced
serum 8-isoprostans and Ox-LDL levels, as well as hsCRP and MCP-1 levels. In addition, significant increase in adiponectin levels
and reduction in systolic and diastolic blood pressure were found.
Hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects of Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice in
streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats.
Methods Find Exp Clin Pharmacol. 2007. Department of Preclinical and Clinical
Pharmacology and Biochemistry, Medical University, Varna, Bulgaria.
Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice is rich in phenolic antioxidants, especially
flavonoids from the anthocyanin subclass. The aim of the present study was to
investigate the influence of Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice on plasma glucose
and lipids in diabetic rats. Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice significantly
decreased the streptozotocin-induced abnormalities in blood glucose and
triblycerides in diabetic rats and might be useful in prevention and
control of diabetes mellitus and diabetes-associated complications.
Chemotherapy toxicity prevention
Folia Med (Plovdiv). 2013. Protective effect of Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice
in a model of cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity in vitro. The protective effect of
Aronia melanocarpa fruit juice observed in this study is most probably due to
its well appreciated antioxidant activity as oxidative stress plays a central
role in the toxic effects of cisplatin.
Aronia side effects
No major aronia side effects have yet been reported.
The shrub
The Aronia plant is a deciduous shrub native to the eastern part of North
America and also grows in cooler parts of Europe and Asia. The plants are
usually about three to 10 feet tall. The shrub grows well in wet areas, and is a
very resilient plant that will easily resist the dangers of drought, pests,
disease, and pollution. Species of Aronia are differentiated by the color of
their small berries, either black (Aronia melanocarpa), red (arbutifolia),
or the purple hybrid (prunifolia). Due to the tannins, the berries are
very astringent when raw - hence the name "chokeberry" - but when cooked they
can be used in a variety of delicious ways such as wine, jam, syrup, or even
candies. Aronia is also used as a natural color or flavoring for food products
like yogurt or juices. The intense coloring of Aronia berries is actually a
natural defense from harsh sunlight. The pigmentation develops as a "sunscreen"
to protect the pulp and seeds from the sun's UV rays.
Aronia species
Q. I am very interested is a comparison if the nutritional values and uses
of acai berry compared to that of the aronia berry.
A. There are dozens of berries that provide health benefits for
human consumption. Each of them has certain substances that the other berries do
not have. We prefer consuming a wide variety of berries rather than one or two
types. Which is healthier to eat, an apple or an orange? They both have benefits
and provide their own special nutritional value.
Q. Is there such a thing as aronia extract?
A. Yes, I am aware of aronia extract 4 to 1 concentration, I am
sure there are other extract potencies.
Q. I am an organic farmer in Iowa looking for information on Aronia melanocarpa also known as chokeberries. Is there any interest in aronia for its ORAC value? Have there been any double blind, placebo controlled trials?
NP Nutra has tested over 100 different superfruit powders over the last year, including the most popular ones from other manufacturers. NP Nutra's water soluble Aronia 4:1 extract got an ORAC score at 4738 umoleTe/g, which is more than virtually all other superfruit powders. Aronia is also known as chokeberry and has a very attractive dark purple color. It is also high in anthocyanins, antioxidants, flavonoids, phenolic acid, trace minerals and vitamin C.
Kaden Biochemicals of Germany has introduced an aronia extract (Aronia melanocarpa). The ingredient contains more than 15 per cent natural anthocyanins and has an ORAC value of 7300 µmolTE/g. Kaden also sells many other berry extracts, such as bilberry, blackcurrant, cranberry, elderberry and blackberry. Kaden Biochemicals is a wholly owned subsidiary of Symrise.
Emails received 2009 and 2011
As you know, aronia berries contain very high levels of antioxidants. Because of
its nutraceutical properties, public interest in aronia is growing at a
phenomenal rate. It is even being researched as a natural, organic additive to
pet food.
Dr. Eldon Everhart, ISU aronia expert
Vaughn Pittz, owner of the farm
Aronia A New Crop for the Midwest
By Eldon Everhart, Horticulture Specialist, Iowa State University Extension
Why is aronia in the news?
Aronia berries contain very high levels of antioxidants. Aronia melanocarpa is a
perennial, deciduous, self-supporting shrub, native to the eastern half of the
United States. Its native range extends into Canada and south into Georgia, and
includes only Winneshiek County in Iowa. Aronia is cold hardy to at least USDA
Zone 3 (-40 F). The cold tolerant blooms open in late spring and avoid most
frosts. The plants will grow on various soils from poorly drained to
well-drained sites.
Where is it grown commercially?
Early in the 20th century, aronia was introduced in Eastern Europe where high
quality, large fruited cultivars were selected. It is now grown on thousands of
acres in Eastern Europe. The aronia berry industry is still in the early stages of
development. Commercial plantations are mostly being planted in the Midwest.
Are all cultivars the same?
'Autumn Magic' and 'Iraqis Beauty' are commonly sold ornamental cultivars of
Aronia melanocarpa. They were selected for their ornamental traits white
flowers, shiny green leaves, orange-red fall foliage, and dark purple berries.
If not harvested, the berries will hang on the bushes until songbirds eat them
late winter. 'McKenzie' is a cultivar that was selected for use in windbreaks
and conservation plantings, not for commercial berry production. It was released
in 2008. 'Viking' and 'Nero' were selected in Russia for commercial fruit
production. Within the last 15 years, these two cultivars were introduced back
into the United States. Mature plants of 'Viking' are six to eight feet tall
with 40 or more shoots per plant. They are the size of a common lilac bush and
live just as long.
How are aronia berries harvested and used?
The round, pea-sized, violet-black berries of Aronia melanocarpa hang in
clusters of up to 12 berries. Aronia berries are ready to harvest by hand or
with a mechanical harvester in mid August to early September. Aronia berries can
be eaten fresh off the bush or used in bread, muffins, pies, cookies and other
baked goods. They can be used to make tea, smoothies, juice, and aronia wine.
The fruit or fruit juice can be used to make jams, jellies, syrup, candy,
salsa, barbeque sauce, and to flavor and color yogurt, sorbet, ice cream, milk,
and other products.
What do they taste like?
Taste is difficult to describe and not all things taste the same to all people.
Aronia berries have a distinctive, pleasant flavor. Astringency is the sensation
that most people notice first. The berries will make your mouth pucker. This dry
mouth feeling is caused by chemicals known as tannins. Tannins make dry wines
dry. Many people like that dry, mouth puckering quality of dry wines and aronia
berries. Freezing reduces the astringency and makes it easier to extract the
juice. When fully ripe, aronia berries have a sugar content as high as grapes or
sweet cherries. They have a high acid content (low pH) but are not sour when
fully ripe.
Where to get more information?
Dr. Eldon Everhart retired from Iowa State University in 2010. He is now the
president and CEO of Everhart Horticulture Consulting business. The family-owned
business provides advice by phone, email, & on-site visits related to aronia
berries, gardening, and herbicide drift, as well as business plan and grant
writing. Dr. Everhart also serve as an expert witness in herbicide drift cases
and presents PowerPoint programs and workshops face-to-face or over the Internet

Symphony Nova Scotia is truly Nova Scotia's orchestra. With a home base in Halifax and performances across the province, Symphony Nova Scotia reaches more than 50,000 Nova Scotians of all ages each year with some of the most innovative concerts and educational offerings in the country.
Though Symphony Nova Scotia had its origins with the Halifax Symphony (1897-1908, 1955-1968), the Halifax Sinfoniette (1947-1955), and the Atlantic Symphony Orchestra (1968-1984), the orchestra as we know it began in 1983 with only 13 full-time musicians.
Today, under the thoughtful and dynamic leadership of Music Director Bernhard Gueller, it is the largest employer in Nova Scotia's cultural community, employing 37 musicians and ten administrative staff, along with over 150 contracted artistic, production and technical personnel. Its talented team has won many awards, including four East Coast Music Awards for classical music.
The orchestra has repeatedly been praised for its versatility and flexibility, performing everything from baroque to pops to jazz with equal finesse. International music veteran Howard Cable calls Symphony Nova Scotia "the most versatile orchestra in Canada," and the Chronicle Herald says, "They can play it all: Beethoven, Shostakovich, Hatzis and Current, as well as Tommy Dorsey, Scott Macmillan, Rose Cousins, Buck 65 and Natalie MacMaster. We are, in this province, exceedingly fortunate to have them."
Symphony Nova Scotia also places a high priority on community engagement and corporate social responsibility. Its education programs reach over 15,000 elementary, junior, and senior high school students each year – students who may not otherwise have access to symphonic music. The Symphony also conducts many accessible community programs, including pre-concert chats, performances in local public libraries, and free community concerts.
Symphony Nova Scotia continues to present Nova Scotia's music to Nova Scotia's people. From baroque to classical to pop, Celtic, rock, and folk, Symphony Nova Scotia brings you the music you love right here at home.

Fulton, Mo. - Did you know that the Blue Jay mascot at Westminster College originated from the name of the former yearbook?
Prior to 1902, the Westminster College yearbook, or annual as it was referred to at the time, was called Searchlights. But that was to change. During the 1902-03 school year the staff of the yearbook changed the name of the publication to Blue Jay. "For the first time Westminster's annual publication appears as the BLUE JAY. Suffice it to say that reasons good and sufficient warrant the board of editors in the change of name…(Page 5, 1902-03 Blue Jay)."
The change of the name of the yearbook was well received, so much so that the athletic department staff adopted the name Blue Jay as the nickname for all athletic teams. Not surprisingly, there was another change which resulted from the change in the name of the yearbook. The school colors were changed from yellow and white, to true blue with approval of the student body, faculty and Board of Trustees. "Blue, as Westminster's color is peculiarly appropriate, both because the college was founded by the staunch Scotch type of Presbyterianism, and because her past history has given evidence that she possess those sterling qualities typified by the blue. (Page 30, 1902-03 Blue Jay)."
"It's quid to be upright and wise, It's quid to be honest and true; It's quid to support Westminster's cause, And abide by the old true blue."
Notes: The Blue Jay mascot was given the name Winston in the late 1990s when football returned to the campus. As you can imagine, it was adopted from none other than Winston Churchill…A yearbook is no longer published at Westminster and has not been published for a number of years, so much of our history is in the archives, in cyberspace and in the memories of some who have been around long enough to remember.

Recipe by Aven
"This is an authentic Irish recipe. I got it from a dear Irish friend. It is not for the faint of heart.... but it is divine."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/2 cups butter, softened
3 cups white sugar
6 eggs at room temperature
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour, sifted
This revisits a common recipe of a solid performer. This classic, standard pound cake recipe is so popular and so enduring because it's delicious and turns out perfectly every time. On this occasion, I used the batter for cupcakes for my grandbaby's Baptism. I filled them about 1/3 full, dotted them each with 1/2 tsp. of seedless raspberry jam, then added more batter to about 3/4 full. I baked them at 350 degrees about 23 minutes, then frosted them with a Vanilla Buttercream. The combination of the cake, the raspberry and the buttercream couldn't have pleased me more. The flavor variations in this cake are limited only by your imagination – in this case I used 1-1/2 tsp. of clear vanilla and 1/2 tsp. of almond flavoring; but rum, coconut, orange, lemon are all just a few of the many interesting alternatives. Bake this dependable pound cake recipe with confidence, and beware of those recipes with changes in the amounts of sugar or, most particularly, butter. (Now, cross your fingers for me that these make it intact to Minneapolis tomorrow for Andrew's Baptism!)
I made this cake exactly to the recipe. It baked up beautifully. The finished product turned out visually appealing, very full and dense. The flavor though was just okay for me though. It is, as other viewers have indicated, a very rich cake. This, in my opinion, is too rich of a cake to serve to guests for formal occasions or to family for informal occasions. Despite my lack of fervor for this cake, my husband quite enjoyed it.

This butter-bomb is not for the faint of heart (!), but it is outstanding. It resembles a rich pound cake. I sifted some powdered sugar on top, but thin slices would also be great with a fresh fruit sauce and whipped cream.
OMG! BEST CAKE EVER! SO CREAMY AND DELICIOUS!!!! here is the link of the video i made :3 http://youtu.be/-swNlXJNn9U
Egg-xactly what I was looking for...something Irish on St. Patrick's Day and a way to use up some of the excess eggs my hens are laying these days. My eggs were warmer than room temperature as they were straight from the hen house (yes, I did get pecked!) but the cake turned out incredible. So decadent! First class!
I made cupcakes using this recipe. They were little bundles of moist buttery goodness. I used cool whip buttercream frosting tinted orange for Halloween. Had to take them to work so we wouldn't eat them all.
Delicious and very dense. I had to bake it for closer to 2 hours but it came out fine. I loved this because it's not super sweet and a great festive treat.
I chose this recipe as it sounded very firm and dense and I wanted to make a 6"x6" cube cake for my nephew's 1st birthday-to resemble a musical toy he loves. I bought a 6x6x2" cake pan and thought the baking time would be significantly reduced due to the small pan. BOY was I WRONG! It took almost an hr and 45mins to bake out clean! and while my cake was level thanks to the damp towel wrap trick-- the top of the cake was like a crisp cookie and had lifted away from the cake below. I also greased and floured the pan very well and still had difficulty getting it out of the pan cleanly. There is no direction how long to cool it before unmolding and I did run a knife around the edge to loosen before overturning. I did 3 layers so I tried 3 different ways to grease/flour, cool before freeing and different utensils around the edge but to no avail. Also the cookie like top cracked and chipped apart when overturned. Tastewise-OMG I wanted to just sit down and eat the batter--oh I also added a Tablespoon of vanilla instead of a teaspoon YUM! Well we will see what happens when I take the chilled layers out for assembly and decoration tomorrow. Wish me LUCK!

I really don't understand how the federal government can spend millions of dollars to boast about their economic action plan and then close down the Kitsilano Search and Rescue station in Vancouver to save a mere $800,000?
Are TV commercials more important than saving mariners' lives?
Not to be outdone, Christy Clark is also running prime time ads bragging about B.C.'s job plan and how lucky we are to live here, blah, blah, blah.
The federal and provincial governments are something like $24 billion and $1.4 billion in the red for the fiscal year, respectively. These ads are paid for with borrowed money, so add the interest cost to that as well.
I earn my paycheque working outdoors in the winter at 3 a.m. at -20 C. When I see the government blowing my hard-earned money on frivolous, meaningless and patronizing ads I just see red.
To me it is disrespectful, wasteful and insulting to the trust I place when I surrender 40 per cent of my paycheque to income tax, not to mention CPP and EI, and then, 12 per cent HST on what I do clear.
If I want to get in debt I can easily do that myself and have fun doing it rather than paying to watch Christy's face on TV. I won't apologize if this letter appears personal because it is.

Leonardo Di Vinci Accidentally Used The Same Model for Both Christ and Judas in "The Last Supper."-Fiction!
Summary of eRumor: This email claims that Leonardo Da Vinci spent seven years painting "The Last Supper" in Milan, Italy. He interviewed hundreds of models to get just the right ones to use for each disciple, choosing the one to portray Christ first. Six years later, he looked for someone to be the model for Judas and found a convicted murderer in Rome who fit the part. When he finished the painting, the man revealed that he was the same person Leonardo has used years earlier to be the model for Christ but had degenerated because of his sin and crime.

(Richmond, Va) - Paul C. Marlowe, 20, of Chesterfield County, Va., pled guilty today to two counts of transportation of child pornography. Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, made the announcement after the plea was accepted by United States Magistrate Judge Dennis W. Dohnal.
Marlowe was indicted on Nov. 17, 2009, by a federal grand jury. Sentencing has been scheduled for April 27, 2010. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of five years in prison and a maximum penalty of 20 years and will be required to register as a sex offender in any U.S. jurisdiction in which he lives, works, or attends school.
According to court documents and information provided in open court at the plea hearing, Marlowe was identified by law enforcement officers during an undercover investigation of individuals trading images of child pornography online. During their investigation, agents executed a search warrant at Marlowe's residence where they seized a computer. A subsequent forensic examination revealed two emails sent from the defendant's AOL email account with attachments containing numerous images of child pornography to two separate individuals on Feb. 24, 2009. The defendant later admitted to sending the two emails.
This case was investigated by agents of the FBI and the Virginia State Police. Special Assistant United States Attorneys Gene Fishel and Tommy Johnstone of the Virginia Attorney General's Office prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

Herein, we introduce the fabrication of polymer micropattern arrays on a chemically inert poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) surface and employ them for the selective adhesion of cells. To fabricate the micropattern arrays, a mercapto-ester—based photocurable adhesive was coated onto a mercaptosilane—coated PDMS surface and photopolymerized using a photomask to obtain patterned arrays at the microscale level. Robust polymer patterns, 380 µm in diameter, were successfully fabricated onto a PDMS surface, and cells were selectively targeted toward the patterned regions. Next, the performance of the cell adhesion was observed by anchoring cell adhesive linker, an RGD oligopeptide, on the surface of the mercapto-ester—based adhesive-cured layer. The successful anchoring of the RGD linker was confirmed through various surface characterizations such as water contact angle measurement, XPS analysis, FT-IR analysis, and AFM measurement. The micropatterning of a photocurable adhesive onto a PDMS surface can provide high structural rigidity, a highly–adhesive surface, and a physical pathway for selective cell adhesion, while the incorporated polymer micropattern arrays inside a PDMS microfluidic device can serve as a microfluidic platform for disease diagnoses and high-throughput drug screening.

Hear Jessie Ware's Silken 'Sweet Talk'
From the Londoner and SBTRKT collaborator's forthcoming, much anticipated full-length debut, 'Devotion'
In the wake of some staggering collaborative work with SBTRKT last year and a breathtaking string of singles in the past few months, Jessie Ware continues to prep for the release of Devotion, the nascent pop supernova (and former 5 Best New artists alum)'s full-length debut, due August 20 on PMR. "Sweet Talk," a silken, somewhat queasy reboot of early '90s R&B is yet another minimal, mood-setting number that places the Londoner's vocals in marvelous light. It's set to feature prominently on Devotion, but hear it below now, via Consequence of Sound.

Interview with Dr. Randall Krakauer, Aetna
Interview with Dr. Randall Krakauer, Chief Medical Officer, Medicare, Aetna.
Q: There's been a lot of buzz in the media recently around models of care that improve patient/family satisfaction while also lowering costs of care. Why do you think that now might be the time to make an impact in improving advanced illness care?
A: Now is the time for a couple of reasons.
First, we've (speaking of C-TAC and other stakeholders) accumulated the right groups, from health systems, health plans, community care organizations to policy makers and communication experts and many others.
Secondly, there's heightened interest in achieving higher impact in medical care and health care coverage, especially with treatment and coverage of advanced illness care. We've shown that you can achieve the greatest impact when you turn informed care decisions over to patients and families to make in partnership with their clinicians and provide them with the necessary information and support to better coordinate care.
Q: What makes the 2013 Summit on Advanced Illness unique?
A: Better care management of advanced illness represents our very best opportunity for real impact on the intersection of quality and cost. There is no better opportunity. The speakers at the Summit are the pioneers who have demonstrated this impact: they'll talk about what they did and how to replicate it.
There will also be policy makers, health economists, leaders from faith communities and caregiver advocates – these groups usually don't get in the same room together to dialogue with clinicians about how to improve quality of care for some of the sickest and frailest people in America.
There is no propriety information here. We're going to see innovators who want to inform others of what they've done to ensure that the best care is available for patients and families.
Q: Who should come to the Summit?
A: Certainly better care management for people living with serious illness is going to become increasingly expected from clinicians and system's leaders.
If you are in an Accountable Care Organization (ACO) or another arrangement where you're accountable for outcomes, then it would be greatly beneficial to engage in strategies to improve medical management for advanced illness.
Those presenting at the Summit have tested models of care management that have been shown to work – and we have networks, such as C-TAC, that can help you effect change in your community or institution by using best-practices from these models.
Dr. Krakuaer is a speaker on the panel, Assessing the Benefits and Costs of Transforming Advanced Care moderated by Mark McClellan on January 29, 2013. He will be sharing new data from Aetna's Compassionate Care program managing advanced illness.
Join Dr. Krakauer and other leaders at the Summit and help us build a Roadmap for Transformation January 29-30!
Space is limited and registration is required.

Go Radio have announced that they will be calling it quits in a statement on their facebook earlier today.
It is with heavy hearts that after 7 years of making music and touring the world, Go Radio has come to an end. For some of you this comes as a huge shock and for our friends and family this will be a certain sense of closure. There is no easy way to write something like this so we won't beat around the bush.
Earlier this year Jason came to us with the news that he felt his time with Go Radio had come to an end. He felt a shift in priority to spend more time with his wife and retire from a life on the road. The decision to end this chapter was far from easy, but it simply would not be Go Radio without all four of us. Because of that, this decision is the right one.
The experiences, relationships, and memories we have shared are irreplaceable. You, the fans, have had our backs from day one and we could not be more grateful for what you enabled us to accomplish. You've given us a chance to travel the world and share our stories as you shared yours with us. We cannot thank you enough. We always strived to be the best band and friends we could be. To take the time to meet each and every one of you, talk to you, laugh with you, cry with you… we wouldn't trade those moments for anything. Go Radio was not just a band, it became a worldwide family, a lifeboat for all of us to keep our heads above water in good times and bad. Music is immortal. What we've created will never die. We encourage you all to focus on the good as it significantly outweighs any sense of bad.
As for the future… we will all be involved with music one way or another and will be active in letting you know what we're up to."
We love you all and look forward to your continuing support and seeing you all in the future!
Alex Reed and Steven Kopacz
Go Radio released their second album Close the Distance last year, and made their only Australian tour as part of 2011's Counter Revolution.
Drummer Steven Kopacz has since joined Anarbor's touring lineup, who will be touring Australia in December on the Vans Warped Tour Australia.
