Jean Coutu's new HQ, distribution centre could support Canadian expansion
MONTREAL - The Jean Coutu Group's new headquarters and distribution centre set to open in 2016 could serve as a springboard to expansion beyond its base in Quebec, the company said Tuesday.
"We're building for the future," CEO Francois Coutu said Tuesday during a conference call.
"We still want to grow a number of stores, we still want to grow the possibilities, not only in this province but elsewhere."
The company recently announced plans to spend nearly $190 million to build a new office in Varennes, Que., about 17 kilometres north of its current premises on Montreal's south shore.
The distribution centre will include excess capacity even after accounting for its own growth forecasts for the next 20 years, added chief financial officer Andre Belzile.
He said investments in automated equipment can be added in stages to accommodate growth.
"It is anticipating some acquisition of independent pharmacies to allow us to grow at roughly the same pace we did over the last few years," he told analysts.
Jean Coutu Group (TSX:PJC.A) said Tuesday it earned $108.6 million or 51 cents per share for the quarter ended June 1.
That was down from $397.3 million or $1.81 per share a year ago when the company realized gains of $348 million from its Rite Aid holdings, compared with $54.4 million in the most recent period.
The operator of franchised drug stores throughout Quebec and in Ontario and New Brunswick said revenue in what was the first quarter of its 2014 financial year was $681.6 million, almost unchanged from $681.5 million last year.
Excluding gains related to the investment in Rite Aid, the company earned $54.2 million or 26 cents per share in the quarter.
That was up from $51.6 million or 24 cents in the prior-year period and matched analyst expectations for per share earnings, according to figures compiled by Thomson Reuters. Analysts, on average, had expected higher revenues of more than $702 million.
Jean-Coutu recently sold 40.5 million shares of U.S. chain Rite Aid for US$110.8 million in net proceeds.
Once the largest shareholder of Rite Aid following the sale of 1,854 Brooks and Eckerd drugstores and distribution centres in 2007, Jean Coutu has reduced its holdings in the company to 7.2 per cent, or 65.4 million shares.
Same-store sales were up 0.6 per cent from a year ago, while pharmacy sales were stable and the number of prescriptions dispensed grew 4.3 per cent. Front-end sales for stores open a year grew 1.5 per cent.
Gross sales of its generic drug manufacturer Pro Doc grew nearly 21 per cent to $45.7 million in the quarter from $37.8 million a year ago as the penetration rate for generic drugs in its network set a new record. Two-thirds of all prescription drugs dispensed were non-brand names, up from 58.8 per cent a year ago.
The growth exceeded Jean Coutu's expectations, said Belzile.
But he said there remains potential for more growth if compared with the U.S. where the penetration rate for generics is more than 85 per cent. The conditions are different because insurance companies cannot dictate to doctors what they can prescribe.
"But yes, we believe that there's more and more pressure to reduce costs in the health-care system in both the private and public system," he said.
Analyst Irene Nattel of RBC Capital Markets said the first-quarter results were solid and "underscore the stability and predictability of Jean Coutu's earnings stream."
She wrote in a report that solid prescription drug growth, offset by the deflationary impact of higher generic drug penetration and modest front-of-store same-store sales and good cost containment "should enable Jean Coutu to continue to deliver high-single-digit EPS growth."
The Jean Coutu Group operates a network of 407 franchised stores in Quebec, New Brunswick and Ontario under the banners of PJC Jean Coutu, PJC Clinique, PJC Sante and PJC Sante Beaute.
On the Toronto Stock Exchange, Jean Coutu's shares lost 66 cents, or 3.71 per cent, at $17.15 in Tuesday morning trading.

Product joins four other Natular formulations that comply with organic production standards.
ROSELLE, Ill. — Natular G, a granular formulation of spinosad-based mosquito larvicides recently introduced by Clarke, has been OMRI Listed, indicating that it complies with the Organic Materials Review Institute's Policy and Standards Manual and the requirements of the USDA National Organic Program Rule.
"When we can give our customers more options for mosquito control — especially those who need to balance public health with sensitive ecosystem — it's a win for everyone," said J. Lyell Clarke, president and CEO of Clarke. "Now that Natular G is OMRI Listed, it opens another door for mosquito control professionals."
Natular larvicide, which uses the active ingredient spinosad to control mosquito larvae in aquatic habitats, was honored earlier this year as a 2010 U.S. EPA Presidential Green Chemistry Challenge Award winner. The award recognized Natular's patent-pending plaster matrix that releases optimal levels of product during times when mosquitoes breed, the company said.
The active ingredient in Natular, spinosad, which was discovered and produced by Dow AgroSciences, is used in more than 250 crops in more than 85 countries, with additional uses in animal health and pet care. Natular has been registered as a "Reduced Risk" larvicide by the U.S. EPA. Five formulations are listed in the OMRI Products List and can be used in organic production.
"Natular is a next-generation larvicide with strong potential to reduce the pesticide load in the environment." Clarke said. "It allows for more prescriptive larviciding, using the exact amounts of active ingredients needed to control mosquito larvae, at toxicity rates far below other products."
By creating several proprietary tablet formulations that insulates then slowly releases the spinosad molecule, Clarke has made spinosad formulations which provide control for up to 180 days, the company says. This matrix is comprised of compounds approved for use by the USDA in production of certified organic products.
According to Clarke, Natular is effective at use rates two to 10 times lower than traditional synthetic chemistries, is 15 times less toxic than organophosphate alternatives, is not persistent in the environment or toxic to wildlife, and eliminates the use of hazardous materials and processes in its manufacture.
Registered for use domestically and abroad, seven commercial formulations of Natular are available for use in larval control in a range of mosquito-control environments, from catch basins to salt marshes.
Founded in 1997, the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI) is a nonprofit organization providing organic certifiers, growers, manufacturers and suppliers an independent review of products intended for use in certified organic production, handling and processing.

Henrico Humane Society Receives Gift from Beath Foundation
Henrico Citizen Staff Reports 11/19/10
The Henrico Humane Society (HHS) announced today that it had received a grant from the Jessica Beath Foundation. The foundation also agreed to a matching gift program for donations made to Henrico Humane Society through February 2011. The Beath Foundation's mission is to provide for general charitable purposes, most notably the care and rescue of animals.
"This generous grant from The Beath Foundation will allow us to help animals in desperate need of expensive medical care which we may not have otherwise been able to afford," said Courtney Morano, Henrico Humane Society president. "We are grateful for their support of our organization, which operates solely on donations, volunteers and fundraising."
As a result of the grant, HHS recently was able to save Beatrice, a puppy rescued from an animal shelter and diagnosed with persistent aortic arch condition, which requires open heart surgery. Dr. Lori Pasternak, with Helping Hands Veterinary Surgical and Dental Care, performed the surgery which saved Beatrice's life. The society intends to provide medical care for many other animals as a result of the new grant.
Jessica Beath started The Beath Foundation in 1991 to honor the memory of her husband Dr. Thomas Beath, her parents Mr. and Mrs. William Thomas and her sisters Annie Thomson and Beatrice Stockdale. She died this year at the age of 106.

One beauty of a charmer
Disney's no-frills, live-action 'Cinderella' delights
Cinderella is the latest from Disney's new moviemaking battle plan: producing live-action adaptations of all their older classics. Which is a plan that's had questionable results in the past.
Alice in Wonderland bloated with more Tim Burton goth-pop than the inside of a Hot Topic. Maleficent was a step in the right direction, but the movie couldn't decide if Maleficent should be a hero or a villain (even if she should obviously be a villain) and muddled itself into mediocrity.
Cinderella is much better. Primarily, because it's just Cinderella. No radical rebooting. No Tim Burton dreck. It's the 1950 Disney masterpiece, transposed into live action and left almost entirely untouched. > Read more.

Well… but it's a mod joke, KYM is mostly composed of normal users who (as well as non-users) don't get it and think the enty has been rejected for real. And if it is supposed to be a joke why did you posted "Milpool"? Deadpool is obviously not forced, I gave clear sources to prove that Deadpool is popular in the web. It's just unfair to reject an entry not only 1 hour after it was created, but with no valid reason more than "it's a joke".

From the Publisher "The inertia of language," declares Geoffrey Hill, is also "the coercive force of language." Good poets write against coercion, and Against Coercion is essentially about the power of words. Looking at our most highly organized form of words, poems, and how they work, it observes how that work speaks—always indirectly—to historical, ethical, and aesthetic questions, including matters of culture, identity, and feminism. It also demonstrates how to read poetry—how to go beyond an elementary (and usually boring) approach, thereby recovering the sheer pleasure of good poems and resisting the coercion of language, that power of words to do ill.A study in advanced poetics, Against Coercion pays close attention to the intricate workings of poems, building larger claims on specific evidence and enjoying the praxis of master writers. The focus is on modern poets, from the early moderns (Stevens, Eliot) through to mid-century (Bishop) and recent (Merrill, Hill). Some chapters reach back to Milton, Wordsworth, and Aristophanes, however, while two even widen to encompass prose fiction.The opening section centers on matters of empire, war, and nation. It includes chapters on Eliot, Keynes, and empire, and on Geoffrey Hill and Elizabeth Bishop (with reflections on language and war). The second section moves to questions of culture and the uses of memory, notably in allusion to earlier writers. It examines what our collective memory chooses to retain and to forget. The range of reference here extends from the King James Bible through Milton and Wordsworth to A. R. Ammons.In the third section, poetry is seen at play, offering those happy occasions when work and play become one. Chapters treat the concept of play in Milton (including some feminist questions), the poetics of punning in Stevens and Bishop, riddles both large and small, in Stevens, a proposed typology of riddles, and a newly recovered Graeco-Latin pun in Alice in Wonderland. The final section moves to practical criticism and offers a new theory of ghost rhymes, a new suggestion of a formula in dream literature, a model for reading a poem, using John Hollander''s "Owl" as an illustration, and, taking Stevens as an example, a pedagogical argument that emphasizes the importance of logic and thought in poetry.

The first is a new article from Rochestor Minnesota where the outdoor reporter has surprisingly nice things to say about beaver.
Chris Kolbert: Beavers create havens for trout — and anglers
Beaver ponds are one of my favorite places to fish trout, and studies have shown that they can enhance trout and salmon populations. The large rodents are engineering geniuses, building dams to deepen the water, creating habitat that allows them to survive harsh winters.
Just upstream, a beaver lodge, made of logs and branches, was built into the stream bank to create an impenetrable fortress in which the animals could live. As is typical for beavers, a food bed of freshly cut saplings was buried in the pond, with only the tips of the branches rising above the ice.
I moved out of the willows and cast into a shallow riffle below the beaver dam. As the line passed a large boulder, another fish picked up the bait. This time, it was a spunky 12-inch brook trout that gobbled up the nightcrawler.
The mid-day sun beamed down on the water as I turned back. For a short time at least, I'd cured my case of cabin fever — and I had a few beavers to thank for that.
The photo is a dam on a trout stream in northeast Iowa creates a deep pool that's perfect for trout. Beaver dams can cause problems for landowners, but they can be an angler's best friend.
(Except in Scotland and Wisconsin where they are terrified of them.)
Thanks Chris for reminding us of yet ANOTHER reason to appreciate beavers. We always need more. Although I won't post this article anywhere near our beaver dam, because the last thing we need is a beaver snagged by some fishing tackle or tangled in line!
More good news from Ohio because Sharon Brown sent me the article on Mason we missed when I was away conferencing.
Controversy Builds Around Beaver Dams
Now there's a story you don't read every day from Ohio. They are still hard at work deciding if they can stand learning such new things and co-existing with beavers, but I'm thinking with BWW on their side and some very concerned residents they have a dam good shot at success! Go here to read the full article with has only 1 or 2 things I'm scratching my head over.
For example it says there are "30 beaver families" in this park. Where on earth does that stat come from? Do they mean 30 dams? Hopefully Owen and Sharon will explain that one dam doesn't equal one family. Our family maintained as many as four at one time. People have all kinds of complicated statistical methods to infer beaver population, but honestly. The only way you're going to know for sure is just by watching.
And remember, it was Scott Stolensberg of Ohio's perfect Glass Farm Beaver photo that gave me permission to use his photo and do this.
Now I'm off to record a post-conference interview with Furbearer Defender Radio, to talk about what was learned at the State of the Beaver. Hopefully it will be up and share-able sometime soon. Wish me luck!

It's not all about WhatsApp you know, there are tons of instant messengers out there, we've got a roundup of the ten best the Android platform has to offer, along with screenshots and feature lists so you can best choose which one suits your individual tastes and needs. So, here are the best instant messenger apps for Android.
WhatsApp: because everybody has it
It's not all about WhatsApp... but WhatsApp sure is a big part of it. While it doesn't have the same feature-rich content as many of the other apps on this list, WhatsApp can't be beat for sheer numbers of contacts using it. Chances are, if you know someone with an Android, they've got WhatsApp. WhatsApp uses your existing contacts' phone numbers, so you don't need to add contacts manually. You can send written and recorded voice messages, stickers, emojis and media, as well as broadcast and group messages.
Messenger: because everybody has Facebook
Facebook's official instant messaging app has recently been made over to deliver a faster, cleaner service and interface. It's much like WhatsApp (as are most of the apps on this list), but Messenger obviously connects to all of your Facebook contacts. As of recently, however, you can also message non-Facebook friends by using their phone number. Messenger allows you to access all of your Facebook messages without using the main app or website. It's also got stickers and emojis, groups, voice recordings, location data, free calls, photo sharing and more.
Skype: for voice and video calls too
The granddaddy of video messaging, Skype has been around for forever and is still kicking on strong. Skype is primarily a video messaging service, but the IM component is just as popular. In fact we use it at AndroidPIT as our daily office messaging tool. Skype requires Skype ID's though, so you'll only be able to add friends if you know their Skype contact name. But once you do, and basically everyone is on Skype too, you can have video chats anytime you want for free. You can also add Skype credit and make cheap international calls to landlines and mobile phones. The chat section offers group chat, media sharing, emojis and more. Plus you can have one account on several devices (WhatsApp doesn't allow this).
Viber: for sticker enthusiasts
Viber is really pushing the Sticker Market, where you can get tons of free and paid sticker packs, but the core business of Viber is instant messages. You can, of course, also send recorded voice messages like WhatsApp (but not video calls like Skype) and you now have the option to call any phone number anywhere with Viber Out – much like adding Skype credit to call people not on the service. Check out my tips and tricks for Viber article for more info.
Line: if you want the younger, cooler Skype
Line is becoming more and more popular, and for good reason. With the recently added video calling functionality, it is now as fully featured as Skype, but has a younger, sexier feel to it than the tried and true Skype. It's jam packed full of stickers and other fun stuff, and is immensely popular throughout large parts of Asia. But it's also feature filled with group chats, multi-platform capabilities (phone, tablet, PC), timeline, recorded voice messages, media sharing and much, much more, including official account messages from celebrities you like. Line is kind of like Twitter, Facebook and Skype all rolled into one.
Hangouts: because it's Google
Google set up Hangouts as the standard (but interchangeable) messaging app in Android 4.4 KitKat, and thanks to this it picked up a lot more users. Hangouts is a combined SMS and IM app, that separates the two types of messages, but can be used to automatically place calls from your phone via Hangouts rather than traditional carriers. Because it handles both SMS and IM, it cuts down on the number of apps you need to be working with, although some more streamlined features, like combined chats with contacts regardless of message type, would help its usability improve. The same features are on offer otherwise: media sharing, location sharing, video calling, and more.
Tango: for networking
It takes two to Tango, but there's plenty more than that using the service. Tango does much the same as the rest: instant messaging, media sharing, stickers, in-call games, video calling, group chat and more. Tango will automatically find your friends based on your contact list, but they must be using the service to show up (or you can invite them). Tango can be used to place calls, find like-minded friends or people in the vicinity using the service, which adds a bit more social networking to the mix than some other providers. The mid-call mini-games also help Tango stand out from the rest.
KakaoTalk: because WhatsApp is taking over the world
KakaoTalk is right there in the middle, offering up all the same features as many more on this list, but not catching on in quite the same way as WhatsApp (even if it performs better). KakaoTalk features group chat, free chats and calls, media sharing, recorded voice messages, location sharing, stickers, themes and emojis. You can even connect with brands you like or friends on BBM, use the service on multiple devices and multitask while talking to someone (by writing chats to someone else). KakaoTalk really is feature packed and deserves more attention than it currently gets.
WeChat: so you can say you used it before it was cool
WeLove, WeShare, WeChat. WeChat is huge in China and is only getting bigger internationally as well. A new update just came out today, and brings games to the instant messaging service. You've got video calling, voice messaging, texting, stickers, games, group chats, media sharing, walkie talkie mode, always-on, and the same social networking with those nearby as Tango. As more and more people start using WeChat, expect to hear more about it soon.
BBM: for the important
After a substantial waiting period, BlackBerry's messaging service finally made it to the Android platform last year. BBM is not as Androidy as the rest of the apps on this list, but it does offer some very cool features including: always-on service (you don't need to open the app to use it), timed and retractable messages, 2-way opt-in (nobody can message you until you specifically allow them), delivery reporting, groups, emoticons, broadcast messages and more. The ability to choose who can message you, rather than it being available to anybody with your number, makes this an attractive messaging option.
Razer Comms: for gamers
Though Razer Comms is a fantastic instant messenger in its own right, it's first and foremost known for its popularity in the gaming community. With an accompanying PC version too, Razer Comms allows to you to group conversations, free VoIP chat, and it makes it quick and easy to connect with other gamers around the world. Think of it as Xfire for the smartphone era.
Telegram - for the paranoid
Telegram made a name for itself for being a "secure" instant messaging service: messages sent via Telegram are heavily encrypted. This was a major selling point in comparison to WhatsApp's flimsy security, but recent changes to WhatsApp mean that it is going to have encryption going forward, so where this leaves Telegram users we aren't sure. It is free, though.
Kik - for fun
"185 million people love Kik!" Says its Play Store description, proving there is more to messaging than just WhatsApp. Kik is a little more playful than the likes of WhatsApp, with more color and sticker options. Kik also houses its own built-in browser, to make video and image sharing between friends simple. It's a fast growing and friendly messenger with users from all over the planet, give it a try.
What would you say is the best instant messenger apps for Android?

~ Random Pretty... Pink Stripe Pyrex and her friend Butterprint...
It's late November... and we need to see some new pictures in here! Just a random picture of a couple things that live in my kitchen. I am tired of seeing my previous post still here, from September. So I decided to just show off something random from my home. : )
Do you have something pretty to show off too? Lets see it!

~ Pyrex Butterprint... and my can of Bar Keepers Friend....
I am late. So late. I had not realize there was a contest going on for Bar Keepers Friend.
What I can do... is show off why I love this magical can of goodness. Along with my Mr. Clean sponge. These two items are my go to cleaning products for practically everything in my kitchen. Especially when cleaning vintage glassware.
See that cooked on... grime covered Butterprint dish. The one that the glass lid had decades worth of burnt nasty in all the grooves.
The one that I purchased for 3.99 at the thrift store. And had been there looking all ugly, with no takers. Well it got a forever home with me. I knew I could make it pretty again.
With a little time... a sink of warm water and that can of Bar Keepers Friend. A little miracle can happen. I pour some power out on the counter and dip my damp sponge in it. And get to rubbing.
Look how pretty she turned out! The only time I have run into issues with baked on grime... is in those tiny thin areas on the inner handle. It requires a tooth pick or a small tooth brush... a wet paste made from Bar Keepers... and patience. Sometimes I need a little help with the patience.
I have always used Bar Keepers Friend for cleaning my vintage glass. It has never dulled anything I have worked on. Or scratch up the design.
(Every thought shared here, is from my own bias opinion. These pictures are from my original post from Farm Girl Pink @ 2013 which I decided to share here. Strictly so you can see how well the product has worked for me in the past. And I buy my Bar Keepers Friend from my local Kroger...)

Contest Extension
We still have two Bar Keepers Friend gift baskets to hand out for PCI and PCII. I'm going to extend the contest until next Friday the 15th. If there are still no entries, we'll open up the contest again to PCIII.
Thanks again to Bar Keepers Friend for their generous gifts. If you know of any BKF posts I can tell them about, please let me know via email. This company is jazzed about Pyrex.

Let the Contest Begin!
Alright pretty Pyrex people.
We had a few great contest ideas. Here's what we want:
1. A photo of your most baked on, caked on Pyrex that has stubborn oven stains, etc.
2. A Haiku about your favourite Pyrex score. Being a teacher, I like the language tie-in. Here's a reminder about Haiku. It's poem with three lines. Traditionally, the first line has five syllables, the second has seven, and the third has five.
Please title your post something with the word 'Contest' in it, so I don't miss it. This Friday I'll take the names of everyone who entered from each Pyrex Collective site. Names will be cut up and put in a Pyrex bowl. I'll get my son to pick the winner.
* If I only get one response from a PC site, they will win. I will email the lucky winners to get mailing info which I will forward to the good people at Bar Keepers Friend.
Please use one of their products to clean your grubby Pyrex and post an 'after' photo. Thanks to Sir Thrift-a-lot for being such a proper contest idea generator!
Have fun and rock on!

Bar Keepers Friend Contest
Hello my Pyrex Buddies,
Over the years people have written about the proper way to clean vintage Pyrex. Bar Keepers Friend is a name that has popped up frequently as a cleaning agent that works for removing some stains from vintage Pyrex.
I was approached in good spirit by a representative from Bar Keepers Friend to do some publicity for the product. They have generously offered the gift basket you see pictured for each of the three Pyrex Collectives.
Do you have an idea for a contest?
Please email me with ideas. I will take submissions by the end of the weekend and hope to launch the contest next Monday.

Have a Remington Mohawk 48 that has a 1/8" metal pad silver soldered onto the rear sight groove area of the receiver. This was done for a scope mount. I'd like to restore this back to where I can use this gun for shooting clays. Appearance is not all important. Planning on cold bluing it when I'm done. Can I simply reheat the area and remove the metal pad? Is there a way to remove the residual solder left behind?

Residual silver solder can be removed by heating it, and wiping the area with a folded clean cotton cloth while hot. A trace may be left where the metal was tinned- it can be buffed away. Silver solder will be harder than lead/tin solder.
What we have here is... failure- to communicate.
If it is real silver solder then you will have to use alot of heat. Most likely it is soft solder.

Thanks for the input. Regardless whether it is silver or lead solder it will take a certain amount of heat to remove. I plan to go slow so i don't have more cosmetic damage than necessary. Really appreciate the advise.

Honest critics are rare: Imran Khan
Uma Ramasubramanian
[ Wed, Dec 5, 2012 ]
Mumbai, Dec 5 (IANS) Actor Imran Khan feels there may be many people who praise him to his face, but there are few who give him honest reviews. Among the rare ones are his mother, and his wife, Avantika.
"The biggest critics in my life are my mom and my wife Avantika. The truth is that when you become an actor, when you become a celebrity, people will come and tell you 'Bro, you are the best, you have done a good job'. So those people are everywhere," Imran told IANS.
"What is very rare is people who will say these are your weaknesses, this is your problem and this is where you have to work on. People who will honestly do that, those are very rare," he added.
Among Imran's much-awaited projects is "Matru Ki Bijlee Ka Mandola", directed by acclaimed film-maker Vishal Bhardwaj. The actor feels there is a tremendous benefit to work with experienced directors like Bhardwaj, who has given the industry a different genre of cinema with projects like "Omkara", "Ishqiya", "Kaminey" and "7 Khoon Maaf".
"I never realised it before, but now I realise that you get tremendous benefit as an actor. Earlier, I have worked with first-time directors or second-time directors... there is a sense of two of us finding our way together. We used to find the correct way of working.
"Here I am working with someone who has consistently proved himself and he knows what the correct way of working is," said the 29-year-old.
In "Matru Ki...", Imran will be see playing a Haryanvi boy. Having played the modern, boy-next-door roles in the past, he admits that he was apprehensive about this one before he began shooting for it.
"I was skeptical. I had great doubts about whether I will be able to learn the body language correctly. I was very nervous and I spoke to Vishal about it. He said, 'I have immense faith in you'. He said, 'if you can put your best effort, then you can do it'," said Imran, citing how encouraging Bhardwaj was all the time.
"He introduced to me a teacher named N.K. Sharma in Delhi. He has a theater group in Delhi. I spent two to three months in Delhi working with him to understand the dialogues and the body language. Everything had to be learnt from scratch," he added.
Imran is nervous about this film, and says it is quite normal.
"I think that in my experience, any person, who is an honest artist or an honest worker, will always be nervous about whether they have done a good job or not. The greatest people that I know or I respect would say, 'Did I do good enough and can I do better?'"
"Matru..." also features Anushka Sharma, Arya Babbar, Pankaj Kapoor and Shabana Azmi.

I have been a customer of yours for several years now and I have often told friends about your excellent products and service. Today I needed to address a problem I had with an order. The rep that took my call was Alyshea and she is definitely an asset to your company. For years I owned my own small business and I realize how difficult finding sharp, courteous, customer oriented people are to work. This girl was very professional and polite, seeming happy to make things the way I needed them to be. I have ordered a few times and your employees weren't rude but they could have been a little more friendly and helpful in my opinion. I wanted you to know that Alyshea was definitely above and beyond in her service compared to others I have dealt with over the phone, not only in your company, but other businesses I deal with on other matters. Hope you will take the time to let her know that some people really do appreciate excellent service!"

Beaulieu Vineyard Merlot Century Cellars
Beaulieu Vineyard - California - United States - Sonoma Valley
Merlot has long been a grape associated with excellent quality of character and flavor, and has spread around the globe as a result of its relative hardiness and reliability. From Chile to Bordeaux, Merlot vines grow to ripeness, and end up producing a remarkably wide variety of wines. Single variety wines made from Merlot grapes tend to be beautifully rich in color, and packed full of jammy, hedgerow flavors and notes of plum and currant, and ideal for newcomers to red wines as a result of their medium body. This medium body comes about due to the fact that the skin of Merlot grapes tends to be quite thin, meaning that the tannin content of Merlot wines is lower than those made from other blue-black grapes. The mellowness and roundedness which results is ideal for blending, also, and Merlot is used as a blending grape in some of the world's finest wineries, to produce aged wines of exceptional character.
When it comes to New World wine regions, it is widely agreed that many of the finest wines are grown and produced in California. The long stretches of coastline and the valleys and mountainsides which come off them are ideal areas for vine cultivation, and for over a century now, wineries have found a perfect home in the hot, dry state, with many of the wines produced here going on to reach world class status. The state is greatly helped by the brisk oceanic winds which cool the otherwise hot and dry vineyards, which hold mineral rich soils covering vast areas and featuring many established wineries. The state is split into four main regions, the largest by far being the central valley which stretches over three hundred miles in length.
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
The mid-nineteenth century was a hugely important era for the United States wine industry, and it was in this period when Sonoma Valley was first used as a wine region. The earliest wineries which made the wide and flat valley floor their home recognized the potential the region had, and noted the fantastic climate Sonoma Valley received. Alongside this, they understood the importance of the mineral rich volcanic soils and geothermal springs of the region, which would go on to provide nutrition for millions of grape vines over the next century and a half. Today, Sonoma Valley is one of California's premier wine producing regions, and it is widely agreed that many of the state's finest red and white wines hail from this beautiful area.

skeletonizing leaves
Does anyone know of a method to skeletonize different kinds of leaves? Thanks for any ideas!
Dorie, If you've had lots of rain there recently like we've had, check under the Magnolia trees...I found several leaves yesterday almost skeletonized by Mother Nature. Also a few Oak leaves. Just needed a little rubbing as I washed them.
Also, I ran across a method in Penny Black's book "A Passion for Flowers". I've never tried it but she's a real professional and uses a lot of skeletonized leaves in her published work, so I'd think it worth a try if I weren't scared of pressure cookers...LOL Anyway, her method is:
"Green Magnolia leaves can be gathered from tree and skeletonized by pressure-cooking them in about 1-1/2 inches of water, to which has been added 1 teaspoon of soda crystals, for about 12 minutes. If leaf tissue can not be brushed away, may need additional 5 to 10 minutes cooking time".
Do you know what she means by "soda crystals"? Someone told me it was Borax...but I'm not sure. As I said, I've NOT tried this, just offering for info. If you (or anyone here) tries it, would you please report back to the rest of us scaredy cats?...jo

Rafael van der Vaart: Hamburg decision to let me go is not a problem
Rafael van der Vaart said he understood Hamburg's decision not to extend his stay as he was again linked with a move to MLS club Sporting Kansas City.
Midfielder Van der Vaart will not be offered a new contract when his current deal with the Bundesliga strugglers expires at the end of the season.
The 32-year-old former Spurs midfielder told Bild: "It's not a problem and also no surprise.
"Maybe it's better for both sides. There is a time to come and a time to go."
