Those involved with the reserve's formation hope it will safeguard the area's biodiversity as well as the ancestral homeland and way of life of local indigenous communities.
China unveils plans for huge railway in South America
(05/27/2015) China is looking to add another rung to its investment presence in Latin America, with an announcement of plans to build an expansive railway bisecting the continent from Brazil to Peru. The bid has raised the hackles of conservation groups, which are concerned the railway will run through sensitive ecosystems, harm threatened wildlife, and affect indigenous communities.
U.S. gov't gives conditional approval for offshore Arctic drilling
(05/15/2015) Earlier this week, the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) approved Shell Gulf of Mexico Inc.'s multi-year Exploration Plan for the Chukchi Sea off the northern Alaska coast. Environmental groups have raised concerns over the approval, saying drilling in the area threatens wildlife, puts workers at risk, and will further contribute to global warming.
World's critical habitats lost Connecticut-size area of forest in a decade
(05/08/2015) Many of the world's endangered animals live in only one place, making them hugely susceptible to environmental upset. One fell swoop, and entire species could disappear from existence forever. New analysis shows that possibility may be edging closer and closer to reality in some areas, with forests known to harbor high-risk species losing an area of tree cover the size of Connecticut in a little over a decade.
Woman defeats mine, saves wilderness, wins $175,000
(04/20/2015) When a huge open-pit mine threatened a pristine lake and surrounding forest in British Columbia, Canada, Marilyn Baptiste jumped into action, spearheading efforts to collect environmental impact data and even physically turning away construction crews. Today, Baptiste was honored for her work when she was presented the 2015 Goldman Environmental Prize at a ceremony in San Francisco.
Scientists find new monkey with unique penis
(04/10/2015) Researchers were in for a surprise when they viewed footage from a remote and little-explored area of southeastern Tibet. Among the more than 700 photos of macaques, they spotted several with physical characteristics that hadn't been documented before; namely, genitals that were shaped and colored differently than other known macaques in the region. The scientists say these differences may make these macaques a new species.
Study finds abandoned pasture is 'a huge resource that is not being harnessed'
(04/09/2015) As tropical forests around the world are cleared for human development, scientists and conservationists are trying to find ways to both stem their loss and reclaim areas already deforested. In a recent study, researchers investigated restoration of abandoned agricultural land in Ecuador, finding that planting trees and even re-establishing pasture may help limit conversion of more forest to farmland.
Palm oil companies, NGOs endorse new deforestation-limiting toolkit
(04/06/2015) Forests not only house many of the world's species, but also much of its carbon. Now, a toolkit has been developed by a group of companies and organizations with the aim of helping other companies and NGOs identify High Carbon Stock (HCS) forests. The toolkit was endorsed last week by major NGOs and plantation companies in Singapore.
Scientists warn of global warming threat to temperate rainforests

One-two punch: farming, global warming destroying unique East African forests
(12/03/2014) Lush mountains speckle East Africa's grasslands and desert, from Mozambique to Ethiopia. These isolated habitats are home to a plethora of species, and are considered by scientists to be some of the most biodiverse regions in the world. However, their forests are being cut down for farmland and are threatened by global warming, putting at risk multitudes of species that have nowhere else to go.
Threatened indigenous forests store more than half the Amazon's carbon
(12/02/2014) A new study released today finds the total carbon load locked up in parts of the Amazon rainforest held by indigenous groups to be much higher than previously estimated – an amount that, if released, would be capable of destabilizing the earth's atmosphere. But because of flimsy land rights, these areas stand at risk of deforestation.
Mapping mistake leaves wildlife at risk
(11/12/2014) Scientists have discovered a new, endangered plant species in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), in an area that is supposed to be protected as a reserve. However, mapping errors effectively moved the reserve's boundaries 50 kilometers to the west, opening up the region and its vulnerable wildlife to human disturbance.
New laws may turn Brazil's forests into mines
(11/07/2014) With the world's largest system of protected areas and a 70 percent drop in the deforestation rate of the Amazon over the past decade, Brazil has made huge strides in safeguarding what's left of its wilderness. However, this progress now hangs in the balance, with new laws threatening to turn many of the country's protected areas into mines and dams.
Conservationists propose Dracula Reserve in Ecuador
(10/24/2014) Deep in the dark, cool forests of Ecuador and Colombia live strange and mysterious organisms.

'A remarkable conservation achievement': Ecuador reserve expands as forest disappears
(10/09/2014) A strip of rainforest running along the northwestern Ecuadorian coast and up through Colombia is one of the most biodiverse places in the world. Yet, less than 10 percent of Ecuador's portion remains intact, with more forest lost every year to human development. But a little more has been saved for now, with 500 hectares added to an area reserve.
Elephants worth much, much more alive than dead, says new report
(10/06/2014) Elephants are worth 76 times more when they're alive than dead, according to a new analysis released this past weekend. The report follows on the heels of findings by WWF that the world has lost 50 percent of its wildlife over the past 40 years, with more than half of African elephants killed for ivory in just one decade.
Throng of 35,000 walruses is largest ever recorded on land, sign of warming arctic
(10/01/2014) A mass of thousands of walruses were spotted hauled up on land in northwest Alaska during NOAA aerial surveys earlier this week. An estimated 35,000 occupied a single beach – a record number illustrating a trend in an unnatural behavior scientists say is due to global warming.
Joint force uses Google Earth to find elephant poaching camps in Mozambique, captures poachers in raid
(09/30/2014) On Monday, September 22, two ivory poachers were arrested in Mozambique during a late-night raid near Niassa National Reserve. The arrest followed on the heels of nearly two-dozen reported kills in the reserve in just the first two weeks of the month.
Reintroduction program ups Mexico's scarlet macaw population by 34 percent in one year
(09/25/2014) While listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, the scarlet macaw has disappeared from almost all of its native range in Mexico, is very rare in most Central America countries, and is locally extinct in El Salvador. A new paper published this week finds a reintroduction program was hugely successful in its first year of operation, with a 92 percent survival rate for released birds.
Scientists use genes, feces to study disappearing monkeys
(09/24/2014) Human pressures through tree clearing and poaching are reducing both forest and fauna in West Africa.

Norway to pay Liberia to stop deforestation
(09/23/2014) In one of the many major announcements that have come out of the UN Climate Summit in New York this week, Norway says it will pay Liberia to stop cutting down its forests. Norway's payment will come on the form of development aid for the war-torn, impoverished, and now Ebola-ridden West African nation.
Is there hope for the vaquita? IUCN calls for action to save world's smallest, rarest porpoise
(09/19/2014) Since the baiji was declared extinct in the early aughts, the vaquita has taken its unenviable position as the world's most threatened cetacean. The tiny porpoise currently numbers around 100, with accidental entanglement in gillnets primarily responsible for its decline. In response, the IUCN recently issued a statement calling for immediate action to curb vaquita bycatch and head off its extinction – which otherwise may lie just around the corner.
Camera traps capture 'fantastically bizarre' animal behavior in South African park
(09/17/2014) Cowbirds ride cattle to pick off their parasites; egrets pal around with wildebeest and eat the small creatures disturbed by their grazing. But mammals riding other mammals is something long-thought pretty much isolated to humans and their domestic creatures. Then, earlier this month, a camera trap in a park in South Africa captured something that contradicts this assumption: a genet riding around on giant herbivores.
Thought wiped out by climate change, 'extinct' snail rediscovered in Seychelles
(09/09/2014) The Aldabra banded snail was declared extinct in 1997 as one of the world's first recorded direct casualties of climate change. But last month, a monitoring team found a population on one of the atoll's islands, surprising the team and giving hope that other species whose habitats are being degraded by climate change may still be able to cling to existence.
'Canary in the cornfield': monarch butterfly may get threatened species status
(09/08/2014) Monarch butterflies were once a common sight throughout the North American heartland. But declines in milkweed – their caterpillars' only source of food – have led to a 90 percent decline in monarch numbers. Now, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is reviewing a petition that would grant the iconic species protection through the Endangered Species Act.
Canada, Russia, Brazil lead world in old-growth forest loss
(09/05/2014) Every day, the world loses about 50,000 hectares of forest to agricultural clearing, road development, and other human activities, constricting true wilderness into smaller and smaller areas – along with the species that inhabit them. New analysis and maps released this week show these last vestiges are disappearing at a quick pace, with more than 104 million hectares degraded from 2000 to 2013.
The last of her kind: centennial of the death of the world's last passenger pigeon
(09/01/2014) They once numbered in the billions, flying 60 miles per hour in flocks that darkened the sky. But on September 1, 1914, one hundred years ago today, the last member of what may have been the most numerous bird species on the planet died in a cage in the Cincinnati zoo.
'A global tragedy' in the making? Thailand plans highway expansion through World Heritage Site
(08/29/2014) Dong Phayayen Khao Yai Forest Complex (DPKY-FC) is the largest tract of surviving forest in central Thailand, renowned for its biodiversity. Now, the Thai government is planning major expansions to a road that bisects the complex – which scientists say will bar animal movement throughout their natural ranges, result in higher rates of road kill, and give hunters and loggers increased access to the forest.
More trouble with tar sands: oil extraction leading to big forest loss in Alberta
(08/29/2014) Tar sands operations have been the subject of much controversy over the past few years as expected economic gains for Canada the may come at the cost of environmental damage from the proposed Keystone XL pipeline and increased greenhouse gas emissions.

Authorities stop 'greatest destroyers of the Brazilian Amazon rainforest'
(08/28/2014) A criminal organization involved in the illicit deforestation of large portions of Brazil's forests has been stopped, with at least six members of the organization arrested as of Aug. 28 and warrants issued for others. The gang has been accused of committing crimes worth over $220 million.
Where should the roads go? New map offers a solution to the 'Pandora's Box of environmental problems'
(08/27/2014) Roads make it possible to bring goods to market, to get to the office, to log a forest, to hunt its wildlife. Without roads, human society as we know it could not exist. However, to build roads, trees must be cleared and swamps drained, shrinking valuable wildlife habitat and fragmenting populations in the process. A new study unveils an innovative map that defines which areas of the world would be best used to build roads – and which should be left alone.
No longer 'deaf as a stump': researchers find turtles chirp, click, meow, cluck
(07/25/2014) Turtles comprise one of the oldest living groups of reptiles, with hundreds of species found throughout the world. Many have been well-researched, and scientists know very specific things about their various evolutionary histories, metabolic rates, and the ways in which their sexes are determined. But there was one very obvious thing that has been largely left unknown by science until very recently. Turtles can make sounds.
True stewards: new report says local communities key to saving forests, curbing global warming

Desperate measures: researchers say radical approaches needed to beat extinctions
(07/24/2014) Today, in the midst of what has been termed the "Sixth Great Extinction" by many in the scientific community, humans are contributing to dizzying rates of species loss and ecosystem changes. A new analysis suggests the time may have come to start widely applying intensive, controversial methods currently used only as "last resort" strategies to save the word's most imperiled species.
No restrictions: Japan's demand for illegal wood driving rampant deforestation in Siberia
(07/03/2014) Illegal logging is taking a huge toll on forests around the world. In response, many countries have banned the import of timber whose legal harvest cannot be verified. However, Japan has made no strides to reduce its import of illegal timber. Instead, it is knowingly importing mass quantities of wood sourced from vulnerable forests in Siberia, according to a recent report.
A fine line: new program predicts when human impact becomes too much
(07/03/2014) Scientists at Stanford University recently unveiled a new modeling program that can predict the response of the environment to the land-use changes of human communities. Using their model, they found that natural resources can support humanity – up to a certain point.
Is REDD+ bad for wildlife? New study says lowland forest protection bias unfair, urges change
(06/27/2014) A study published this week found tree cover does not necessarily correlate with habitat importance. It suggests that using such a metric may be leading to false assumptions of habitat importance, and that REDD+ and other carbon-centric conservation programs may actually be propelling some species towards extinction.
'Exciting implications' for conservation: new technology brings the lab to the field
(06/26/2014) Times have changed, and technological advancements have scaled down scientific equipment in terms of both size and cost. Among them are the tools and procedures needed to conduct molecular genetic analysis.

Too tempting, too easy: poachers kill Kenya's biggest elephant
(06/16/2014) While illegal, the ivory trade is having a huge impact on elephant populations throughout the world. A new report issued by the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) finds that while there was a small reduction in the number of African elephants killed by poachers in 2013, the rate is still unsustainable.
Tree-huggers: koalas cuddle up to keep cool
(06/06/2014) For animals that live in places that are both hot and dry, using valuable water stores to cool off via evaporation may put them at risk of dehydration. Now, as described in a new study published in Biology Letters, it seems that koalas have figured out a way to stay both cool and dry: by hugging trees.
New study finds environmental damage globally may cost more than U.S. GDP
(06/06/2014) A new study added up all the world's ecosystem services – from carbon storage and crop pollination, to recreation and flood mitigation – and found, every year, nature provides $145 trillion in benefits. It also indicates that land use changes, most of which has been caused by humans, may be reducing these benefits by trillions of dollars every year.
Lab-grown meat: a taste of the future?

The results were published recently in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B.
Coral could prevent HIV: newly discovered protein blocks infection
(05/09/2014) In the waters off the coast of northern Australia lives a species of feathery coral. Years ago, bits of it were collected by the Australian Institute of Marine Science and stored at the National Cancer Institute's extract repository, along with 200,000 other samples. Researchers retrieved and tested this coral sample, and recently reported that it was very effective at blocking HIV infection of host cells.
Loss of wildlife and deforestation can increase human disease
(05/08/2014) Deforestation is wiping out habitat for plants and animals around the world. It is linked to reductions in air and water quality, hastening climate change, and is contributing to increased rates of drought and fire. Now, for the first time, researchers have found that deforestation may also lead to a heightened risk of human disease
Dangerous work: how one man empowered communities and stopped a coal mine
(04/29/2014) For many years, Ramesh Agrawal has worked to spread awareness of the environmental repercussions of India's coal industry to local residents, empowering them with information and speaking out on their behalf. In 2012, his tireless efforts shut down development of a major coal mine, which would have been the largest in the state of Chhattisgarh.
Japan changes its mind about Antarctic whaling ban, plans to continue hunts in 2015
(04/25/2014) Conservation groups were jubilant in response to last month's ruling by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) banning Japan's long-standing "research" whaling practices in the Antarctic. However, the celebrations proved short-lived after news last week that Japan has rescinded its agreement to abide by the ruling and stop whaling altogether, opting instead to redesign its program and continue whale hunts in the Southern Ocean.
'Better late than never': Myanmar bans timber exports to save remaining forests
(04/24/2014) Myanmar contains some of Asia's largest forests, but has been losing them at a rapid pace during the last two decades as logging companies emptied woodlands to meet the demands of the lumber industry. In an effort to save its disappearing forests, Myanmar implemented a ban on raw timber exports, effective March 31, 2014. However, the ban affects only raw timber exports, not milled lumber, throwing into doubt its ability to adequately protect Myanmar's forests.
After widespread deforestation, China bans commercial logging in northern forests
(04/22/2014) Forestry authorities in China have stopped commercial logging in the nation's largest forest area, marking an end to more than a half-century of intensive deforestation that removed an estimated 600 million cubic meters (21 billion cubic feet) of timber. The logging shutdown was enacted in large part to protect soil and water quality of greater China, which are significantly affected by forest loss in the mountainous region.
Rainforests on fire: climate change is pushing the Amazon over the edge
(04/18/2014) From 1999-2010, nearly three percent of the Amazon rainforest burned, and climate forecasts indicate dry conditions conducive to fire will only become more commonplace in the future. A new study indicates that rainforests are more vulnerable to fire than previously thought, and it warns the current combination of climate change and deforestation may be pushing Amazon forests past the breaking point.
Will yellow fever drive brown howler monkeys to extinction in Argentina?
(04/04/2014) The brown howler monkey is listed as Critically Endangered in Argentina, where a small number persist in the northeastern portion of the country. Although habitat loss and other human impacts have contributed to the populations' decline, a new report indicates that yellow fever outbreaks in the region are primarily to blame.
The incredible shrinking salamander: researchers find another casualty of climate change
(04/04/2014) Climate change is contributing to a slew of global problems, from rising seas to desertification. Now, researchers have added another repercussion: shrinking salamanders. Many amphibian populations around the world are currently experiencing precipitous declines, estimated to be at least 211 times normal extinction rates. Scientists believe these declines are due to a multitude of factors such as habitat loss, agricultural contamination, and the accidental introduction of a killer fungus, among others.
Court partially stops Japan's 'scientific' whaling, but Pacific harvests to continue
(04/01/2014) Japan has harvested thousands of whales in North Pacific and Antarctic waters since the implementation of a global ban on whaling, eliciting harsh criticism from the international community. Now, in a landmark decision, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has ruled that Japan must cease its whaling activities in the Antarctic.
Revealed for the first time: the surprising biodiversity of algae 'reefs'

Meat producers should replace cattle with insects, scientists say
(01/10/2011) Scientists in the Netherlands have discovered that insects produce significantly less greenhouse gas per kilogram of meat than cattle or pigs. Their study, published in the online journal PLoS One, suggests that a move towards insect farming could result in a more sustainable - and affordable - form of meat production.
Leatherback sea turtles tracked for first time in South Atlantic
(01/07/2011) Leatherback sea turtles undertake one of the longest journeys of any animal as they traverse the oceans in search of food, navigating hazards such as plastic pollution and fishing operations. A new study published in the Royal Society Journal Proceedings B has for the first time mapped their odyssey through the South Atlantic.
Ancient bird evolved "clubs" to beat predators, each other
(01/07/2011) Researchers have discovered that the thick wing bones of an ancient flightless bird which once lived in Jamaica may have been used as clubs to beat predators and even members of its own species.
"End of Days" bird kill just a fraction of real death toll
(01/07/2011) The sudden en-masse deaths of thousands of birds in the Southern U.S. on the night of New Year's Eve have created a frenzy of media attention, but in reality hardly compare to the massive number that die each year because of human activity.
Harpy eagles nest in Belize for the first time in over 60 years (pictures)
(01/06/2011) Scientists have confirmed the presence of a harpy eagle nest in the Maya Mountains of Belize. The discovery represents the most northerly breeding pair in the Americas, and signals a comeback for a species which has become locally extinct in much of Central America due to human activity.
Bluefin tuna gets record price ($396,000) at Japanese auction
(01/06/2011) On Tuesday, a 752-pound Pacific bluefin tuna was sold at Japanese auction for the highest price ever received for raw seafood - $396,000. The price tops the previous record by more than $100,000 and comes at a time when tuna populations around the world are experiencing precipitous declines.
Sustainability of Antarctic toothfish fishery, legitimacy of Marine Stewardship Council called into question
(01/05/2011) In November of 2010, the Antarctic toothfish fishery was deemed sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council. This certification goes against the advice of many marine scientists who claim that insufficient research has been done to determine the full impact of commercial fishing on this enigmatic species.
Atlantic ocean warming confirmed by corals
(01/05/2011) A new study investigating the ability of coral to record sea temperatures indicates that the Northwestern Atlantic has experienced unprecedented warming during the past 150 years.
U.S. bumble bees experiencing significant declines
(01/04/2011) Many US bumble bee populations have declined significantly over the past few decades, with certain species dropping off by as much as 96%. While the decline is linked to low genetic diversity and disease, an underlying cause remains uncertain.
Malaysian customs seizes 1,800 trafficked reptiles
(01/04/2011) Malaysia ended 2010 with the confiscation of 4.3 metric tons of reptiles near the Thai border on December 20th, reports the Wildlife Trade Monitoring Network, TRAFFIC. The confiscation was the largest of the year and consisted of over 1,800 monitor lizards, snakes, freshwater turtles, and tortoises.
Biopiracy crackdown results in $59M in fines for Brazilian companies, receives mixed reviews
(12/31/2010) The Brazilian government is stepping up anti-"biopiracy" measures and imposing substantial fines on companies which make use of rare plants or animals without giving adequate compensation to Brazil or its indigenous communities. The move attracts criticism by some who believe that it hampers scientific research.
Fisheries commissions' ability to manage diminishing tuna stocks called into question
(12/31/2010) During a meeting earlier this month, the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC) disregarded appeals from the EU and Japan, as well as from Commission scientists, calling for a substantial and immediate reduction in catch rates of bigeye and yellowfin tuna in response to diminished stocks. An earlier meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT) resulted in only cosmetic cuts to Atlantic bluefin quotas, calling into question the ability of the global system of Regional Fisheries Management Organizations (RFMOs) to prevent overfishing.
U.S. Department of Energy makes $1.5B loan to massive solar plant
(12/30/2010) The U.S. Department of Energy has finalized a guarantee to provide a loan of $1.45 billion to Abengoa Solar Inc. which will fund the world's largest parabolic trough concentrating solar plant. The plant is expected to serve 70,000 households and avoid 475,000 tons of carbon dioxide emissions per year.
Ringed and bearded seals to be listed as Threatened

Seven Brazilian bird species granted endangered status
(12/29/2010) The US Fish and Wildlife service voted recently to designate several rare bird species as endangered under the US Endangered Species Act. The designation becomes effective on January 27, 2011 and will protect against the trade of, increase conservation funding to, and promote habitat safeguards of seven of the most imperiled species in Brazil.
Growing Atlantic dead zone shrinks habitat for billfish and tuna, may lead to over-harvest
(12/29/2010) A dead zone off the coast of West Africa is reducing the amount of available habitat for Atlantic tuna and billfish species, reports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in a study published in Fisheries Oceanography. The zone is growing due to global warming and is expected to cause over-harvest of tuna and billfish as the fish seek higher levels of oxygen in areas with greater fisheries activity.
EPA steps up greenhouse gas restrictions for nation's biggest polluters
(12/28/2010) The US Environmental Protection Agency recently issued its plan for establishing greenhouse gas emission restrictions for the nation's biggest polluters under the Clean Air Act. The restrictions are scheduled to take effect in 2012.

What? La Bamboche for macarons
Where? 4 Manor Rd. E (5 min walk from Eglinton station)
Price? $2.75/macaron (changed now)
The skinny: La Bamboche with its two locations (midtown at Manor rd and at Avenue rd), was opened in 2005. It's a pâtisserie that's quite well known for their (classic and imaginative) macarons, croissants, and Japanese inspired cakes.
If you enjoy desserts, especially French ones, La Bamboche should be on your list of pâtisseries to hit up. Flawless and clean execution of desserts, pastries, and confections.
Finally, I made my way there! I've got some crème de marrons that I haven't used yet but I now know the perfect use Mont Blanc. :D They make their own jams and spreads. Good stuff.
Here it is, the reason why I went: les macarons. Almond flour + icing sugar + egg white = iconic confection. That day, they had 12 flavours available. On twitter (@labambocheTO), I'm always seeing photos of new products that they're testing out, including different macarons flavours. That's super exciting! Variety is the spice of life! ;D
Adding some "fresh" ones to the display! Not surprisingly, I had a really tough time choosing what I wanted to try.
In the end, I choose according to what sounded good, what I know I'd like, what was recommended, and colour coordination (yes, I'm "such a girl".) The plastic case is an extra cost but worth it knowing my track record of transporting macarons home…(I once crushed 4 macarons)
Pistachio macaron
All the macarons look great and they're the biggest ones I've had yet. My parents and I love pistachio macarons. I get them every time I try a new pâtisserie (had them at Petite Thuet, Patachou, Bobbette & Belle, Georges Larnicol, etc).
I'm used to buttercream that's lightly coloured (thanks to the food colour powdering). The buttercream here is flamboyant and has clearly got some pistachio paste in there. Oh yeah it was good!
Mystery flavour macaron
I'm pretty sure it was strawberry. As per usual, beautifully light macaron. I loved the buttercream!
Yuzu macaron
Yuzu is a Chinese citrus fruit (but seen much more often in Japanese cuisine now). It's got a tart flavour and is also somewhat similar to mandarins.
My parents really liked this macaron. I'm not surprised…haha It wasn't too sweet (macarons aren't by nature) and the citrus flavour makes it even lighter.
Caramel Sea Salt macaron
This may be just me, but this is a classic flavour that I almost always get each time I pick up macarons. This one was exceptional. Besides the buttercream, there was a piece of caramel toffee in the middle! That's what made it. :D
Cassis macaron
"Cassis" is French for blackcurrant. I've had this flavour before (from Pusateri's) and really enjoyed it. The one from La Bamboche is really different.
The sweetness is minimal and the filling was quite dense and rich. Definitely not what I had expected.
Strawberry Champagne macaron
This is supposed to be a knockout flavour. I'd say it was for me. :D You can taste both the strawberry and champagne in the buttercream. Lovely! There's even tiny bits of strawberry still visible in there. I'm not sure why the macaron shells are this pale blue, but it looked pretty! haha
Verdict: I'm coming back. I loved all the macarons. They changed the size (smaller) and pricing (less than the former $2.75) of the macarons now, so what better excuse to have more?! ;D Next time, I'll also pick up some of their "du jour" items, a cake or two, and definitely a croissant.

A declaration opposing the inclusion of aviation in the European Union's emissions trading system (ETS) and signed by a group of non-European countries has been endorsed by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO).
The paper, signed by 26 members of ICAO, may not be legally-binding but has drawn a fierce response from EU climate action commissioner Connie Hedegaard.
"It is disappointing that ICAO discussions once again focus on what states should not do instead of what they should do to curb growing aviation emissions," said Hedegaard.
"Unfortunately, ICAO has missed again the opportunity to tell the world when it will table a viable global solution."
Hedegaard added that ICAO's endorsement of the declaration does not affect Europe's desire to work with the United Nations body on finding a global solution, nor will it have any impact on the EU's plan to include aviation in its ETS from 1 January 2012.
"Our legislation clearly says that if a country outside the EU takes 'equivalent measures' to reduce aviation emissions, all incoming flights from that country can be exempted from the EU system," said Hedegaard.
"We really look forward to plans from other states to reduce aviation emissions." However, concerns have been expressed over what exactly is meant by "equivalent measures".
ICAO's endorsement of the declaration is the latest in a series of international moves condemning the ETS. The US House of Representatives last month passed a bill that would prohibit US carriers from taking part in the scheme. Political opposition has also been expressed in Russia, China and Latin America.
Association of European Airlines secretary general Ulrich Schulte-Strathaus today called for politics to be removed from the equation.
"Over recent weeks, we have seen legal cases against ETS, bills to prohibit airlines from complying, vocal foreign indignation, retaliation and now a challenge through ICAO. Political conflict does not cut emissions," he said.
"AEA urges political leaders to seize the negative energy around ETS and turn it into urgent, positive action towards a global solution."

The 19 Most Influential Grunge Musicians
Nobody ever set out to be a grunge icon — at least nobody who actually became one.
Nobody ever set out to be a grunge icon — at least nobody who actually became one.
This month has brought both wonderful and tragic events to Dave Grohl and his family.
Courtney Love and Dave Grohl put aside their long-standing differences over Nirvana's legacy at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last night.
Those in attendance at Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ceremony at the Barclays Center arena last night were certainly treated to a nice surprise when the surviving members of Nirvana performed with various female singers to close out the event. But an even bigger thrill came for those lucky enough to make it into a tiny Brooklyn bar for an after-party where the Nirvana members performed a full set!
Joan Jett joined the surviving members of Nirvana in an explosive live performance at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Great news from Dave Grohl and his family. The Foo Fighters frontman is reportedly expecting his third daughter with wife Jordyn Blum.
Let's face it, there is no love lost between Courtney Love and Foo Fighters frontman / Nirvana drummer Dave Grohl. In the trailer for her new YouTube Channel, Love recently went as far as asking her public, "Is there anybody on the planet who would be watching this that doesn't know that Dave Grohl and I don't get along?" The two have had some very public spats throughout the years, stemming back to the rights held by Love and subsequent use of Nirvana music in the wake of Kurt Cobain's passing.
Historic heavyweights the Rolling Stones and Black Sabbath (as well as relative newcomers Muse and Gary Clark Jr.) were in contention for the Best Rock Song Award at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards, but the trophy went to 'Cut Me Some Slack' by the nameless group featuring surviving Nirvana alum Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselik and Pat Smear with Paul McCartney.
Lindsey Buckingham will join Dave Grohl, Queens of the Stone Age and Nine Inch Nails during the Grammys finale on Jan. 26. But nobody's sure what this very loud, and totally awesome, lineup will perform together.
As announced late last night, Nirvana have been voted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This was the first year that the iconic grunge band was eligible for a nomination, and along with Kiss, Peter Gabriel, Hall & Oates, Linda Ronstadt and Cat Stevens, Nirvana will be immortalized at the Hall's 2014 induction ceremony. In response, Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl have responded to the honor.
On Nov. 18, 1993, Nirvana took a trip to New York City and taped their iconic 'Unplugged' set for MTV. The special aired less than a month later on Dec. 14, adding yet another immortal moment to Nirvana's vast list of achievements. However, 20 years later, MTV has revealed that at the insistence of Kurt Cobain, drummer Dave Grohl almost didn't perform at the 'Unplugged' set.
Both Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl were part of one of the biggest bands ever in Nirvana, but in April 1994 Nirvana ended with the suicide of frontman Kurt Cobain. Both musicians recently spoke with Rolling Stone about their reflections on the groundbreaking band and still dealing with the aftermath nearly 20 years later.

Richie and Jacob Nessel will be the honorees at the annual Montauk Harbor Old Timer's Dinner, hosted by the Montauk Chamber of Commerce, on Thursday June 5, at the Clam and Chowder House at Salivar's from 5 to 8 p.m. The two brothers have made their living fishing in Montauk for over 50 years. They own their own boats and have also worked on various charter and party boats in the hamlet.
Richie Nessel, who captains the "Nasty Ness," recently received the Chester Wolf IGFA Sportsman Award at the first annual Shark's Eye Tournament, which is a tag-and-release event to promote conservation of sharks. He was also instrumental in easing this year's New York State fishing regulations and catch limits, specifically addressing the summer flounder restrictions in the state compared to neighboring states.
To do, he reached out to Governor Andrew Cuomo and invited him for a day of fishing on his boat. That resulted in the governor learning of the unfair regulations and a change in the daily bag limits by the Department of Environmental Conservation, which will have a positive impact on charter and party boat business in Montauk Harbor this summer.
Jacob Nessel began fishing in Montauk with his dad in 1951. By 1955, as a 15-year-old, he was already working as a deckhand on Montauk party boats on weekends and summer vacations. Captain Jake spent the next 15 years running the Marlin 3, 4 and 5. His own charter boat, "Sportfisher," fished in 1994 and 1995. Since 1996 he has captained the Marlin5/Ebb Tide.
Tickets for the event are $40., which includes dinner with wine or beer. The evening begins at 5 p.m. with a roast of both brothers. Tickets are available at the Montauk Chamber of Commerce office, or by calling (631) 668-2428. Tickets can also be purchased online by going to www.montaukchamber.com, scrolling to the "Events" tab and using PayPal or a credit card to purchase a ticket.

Last week I did a video-recorded oral history interview with the last of the old-time Nisei oyster farmers. Giro Nakagawa was hired by Issei oyster farmers in 1939 to harvest oysters in a shack-on-stilts in the middle of Willapa Bay, Washington. It was difficult making a living farming vegetables in Kent, Washington, so Giro decided to relocate to South Bend with its steady pay of 70 cents per day seeding and picking oysters. Right after December 7, 1941, the sheriff shut down the oyster harvesting shack, sending Giro back to land. After being sent to a detention camp and then serving overseas in the army, Giro returned to South Bend with his veteran status and union membership to head the return of Japanese oyster farmers to a hostile anti-Japanese community. 75 years after Giro set foot in South Bend, he is still active there as a 93-year-old director of an oyster company.
Meeting people like Giro and his wife Miyo and listening to their stories is an incredible joy and learning experience for me. During the video interviews the viewer is transported back to times and places that only exist in the memories of these elders. Over the past 18 years, Densho has collected 750 stories which will be preserved for many generations. Please consider contributing to the GiveBIG campaign today (see below) so that we can capture even more stories.

In 2003, Densho interviewed the 90-year-old Roy Matsumoto who recounted his incredible story of fighting in the jungles of Burma with Merrill's Marauders against the Japanese. Roy saved his unit with heroic actions and he was later inducted in the U.S. Army Ranger Hall of Fame. We are sorry to report that Roy passed away on April 21st at the age of 100. This clip comes from Roy's 2003 interview where he describes a mission to hold Nhpum Ga hill in Burma, in which he shouted military orders in Japanese to confuse the attacking Japanese soldiers.

Musical Malpractice will provide entertainment for the event. Tickets are still available at the Book Mart & Cafe on Main Street and from Starkville-MSU Symphony Association board members.
Barbara McLaurin, past symphony president, said the Starkville-MSU Symphony Association relies on the monies raised at this event each year for various functions.
"We have the symphony orchestra, the symphony chorus and programs for children," McLaurin said. "One thing I think makes our organization truly unique is that all of our events are free to the public, and fundraisers like 'A Crown Affair' are part of the reason we're able to do that."
Starkville-MSU Symphony President Robert Phillips said the event, which serves as the group's main yearly fundraiser, is always a fun evening for attendees.
"The Symphony Association depends on its fundraisers to contribute a substantial amount toward its annual $100,000 budget," Phillips said. "We take pride in the quality of the symphonic music we have been lucky enough to bring to Starkville, but to do so takes interest, participation and money. We are always grateful for the support from the community."
Michael Brown, MSU music department head and symphony conductor, said the event is a fun way for the community to show its continued support of the symphony association.
"It is always gratifying as the music director of the Starkville Symphony to have people respond to the music with their attendance and applause, but it is also gratifying and equally important to have friends who will respond to us with their financial support," Brown said.
Jean Marcus is co-chairing the event. Marcus said she plans to provide some surprise entertainment Saturday during the intermission, but would only provide a couple of clues as to what it might be.
"Why is it called 'A Crown Affair?'" Marcus asked. "To whom belongs the crown? Who is the king?"
Marcus said last year's event was so much fun that although the event was meant to be over at 10 p.m., people were still dancing and enjoying themselves at midnight.
"I like to put the 'fun' in fundraiser," Marcus said.
The ability to experience the arts for free is something for which Starkville can be proud, Marcus said.
"When you have the arts represented in the community, it actually makes the community more economically positive to outside business and people who might be interested in moving here," Marcus said. "It's wonderful to have the arts so well-represented in Starkville."
McLaurin said the symphony association is funded through grants, contributions and fundraisers as opposed to ticket or subscription sales.
The final two concerts in this season will be presented in the coming weeks. On March 3 the Starkville-MSU Symphony Orchestra will present "Romantic Rendezvous," and on March 26 the Starkville-MSU Symphony Chorus will present "Music of American Composers."

Elk Creek is a very nice park. The bathrooms were very clean. We had trouble getting a Wi-Fi signal at our site so my husband went to the rec room to use his laptop. I got a good Verizon signal on my smartphone. The highlight of our trip were the moose in our site. They even brushed up against the back of our trailer while they were munching on the willows. - Glory
Aug 2014 - $36.00
Stayed here for 12 days in mid August. A camper in this area needs to understand the choices. For a Big Rig and large 5th Wheel rigs there are two commercial campgrounds. For smaller rigs there are multiple campgrounds commercial and NP operated. This campground serves all types, tents, small and big rigs including cabins to rent. That said, the rate is based on 1 week + 5 days at daily rate. Taxes are high for visitors. This campground is built on a hill, with hard pan packed dirt interior roads that the wet weather is starting to create ruts in. The sites (all back-in) with fine dirt/gravel base are terraced into the hill in a long oval loop with a semi circle at the top. Because of the incline on which the park is built, there is side to side level issues that need to be considered. Almost everyone has blocks under the wheels, but no one has wheels off the ground. There is heavy vegetation, willow bushes, pine trees and tall grasses, that separate the sites so there is a real feel of privacy. Many sites are booked well in advance because of the proximity to the NP so you are not going to just "drop in" for a stay of any length. There are guests who come for the season and the 20 FHU sites are taken up quickly. The rest of the 34 sites are W/E only. They have 4 overflow electric only sites on the flat in the front of the park for short term. For every 5 days they have a very efficient free Honey Wagon service, otherwise it is $15 per dump and a signup is needed. Having said that, I called 3 weeks in advance and the owner worked very hard to get my 40 foot rig into the same site for the whole time. I asked for 14 days, and she worked out 12. The site (RV 20)is adequate, but narrow once my slides are extended. There really wasn't any room for spending time outdoors once we moved to the uphill side to obtain a level surface. Other sites (FHU) we have seen are configured a little differently and seemed to have more "patio" area so there was more room to extend and awning and put out chairs. The restrooms are very clean, the showers are a single long hall with a floor to ceiling door to close for privacy and immaculate, but there is no place to sit. There are 3 washers and 3 dryers for 50 sites plus cabins plus tent sites. They have a completely separate area for tents and the cabins, which we found satisfying. This location is has (moose) wildlife that frequent the grounds and it is well to consider that when coming. We travel as full timers completely self contained so Wi-Fi is not required from the parks we stay in, neither is TV, so I can't comment on those services. What we look for is satellite access for these services from the roof of our rig. So few/no trees to the southeast are more important to us. This park has that. I can tell you it is a magnificent outdoor natural environment which if all the sites had full hookups, probably would get a higher rating from me. The owners work hard and will accommodate any reasonable request. The town of Grand Lake is very close as is the entrance to the Rocky Mountain National Park. This is why we chose it. - ALFA Maytwins

Excellent base camp to visit the great views in Rocky Mountain National Park. Our 45' rig had no problems in and out of Site 19. Wi-Fi was very good, using a Super 3 Antenna Booster. AT&T phone worked great. Owners were very friendly and willing to help in any way. The place to stay in Grand Lake, CO. - jbskone

The rate reflects a 50% senior discount for a non-hookup site. This is National Forest Service Campground manged by a concessionaire. Based on what we had read and imagined, we thought that Lake Granby would be this quite, remote Forest Service lake. It is not; the lake and the area are heavily developed, so don't expect a wilderness experience. That being said, the area is still very nice with beautiful views. This campground is pretty much devoid of trees, but that does make for some good views. The sites have some separation but, because of the lack of vegetation, there is no privacy. There is also some road noise from the adjacent highway. This is the one campground on the lake with a dump station. There is also fresh water at the dump station, but, for some unknown reason you have to attach your hose to a tap that is about 7 feet up. Perhaps this is a temporary issue. Our Verizon phone and data were very strong. We had no problem with satellite since there are almost no trees. We did not stay at this campground our allotted time of 8 nights. - TheJim
Sep 2012 - $32.00
The rate is $25 for an electrical site, plus the $7 NFS day use fee. This is our second time here, the first being a few years ago before it was clear cut due to the pine bark beetle infestation. While I do wish the trees were still there, the 360 degree view of the mountain ranges with the lake in the foreground is in a word - spectacular. It is a few miles from Grand Lake and the west park entrance. - barbielab
Aug 2012 - $22.00
Gorgeous views of Lake Granby and the Rockies from almost every site in this National Forest campground. Verizon signal was usable. It's about ten minutes drive to the town of Grand Lake, otherwise there's not much in the immediate area. There was no potable water at the dump station when we visited, but some sites in the middle (toward the peak of the hill) have water and electric. Widely spaced sites and most are level. Overall, very nice. - silvertube

Various types of campsites, from rugged tent to spacious pull-throughs for large rigs. For RVs, sites are gravel with easy to use hook-ups. Excellent Wi-Fi. They have special facilities for horses and ATVs. Adjacent to the Rocky Mountain National Park. Grand Lake area has three large lakes for boating and fishing. If you like hiking, you are in paradise. Only weakness is muddy roads after a rain. - AGCS
Jun 2014 - $48.00
The back pull-through spots are very quiet. However, they are not level. There were potholes and ditch marks in sites 119-129. I saw one big rig with its front wheels off the ground. Our site was 4" off level sideways. Otherwise this was a nice park. The view of the Indian Peaks Wilderness is spectacular. All the pine trees in the area are dead, so the scenery isn't that great. You cross the bridge and you are in the Rocky Mountain National Park. The restrooms are dated but clean. Moose and elk right near the RV park. They had a road grader smooth out the interior roads, I don't know why they didn't work on the pull through spots. - scouter
Aug 2013 - $40.00
This park is wonderful! It is very large and scenic. All people that work here are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of activities and fantastic access to Rocky Mountain National Park. Easy access and roads. Will definitely stay here again and recommend it as often as we can! I am not sure of the rate we paid, but it was totally worth whatever it was!!!! - Easter2

Beet growers urge more investment in Norfolk
10:57 02 February 2013
Beet growers are looking to monopoly processor British Sugar to invest in the future of the home-grown industry, said a leading East Anglian producer.
Robert Law, deputy chairman of the National Farmers' Union's sugar board and which represents 3,500 growers, said that the processor must invest in refining and storage capacity.
As a grower sending 15,000 tonnes of beet to three factories, Bury St Edmunds; Wissington, near Downham Market, and Newark, he has experienced this campaign's variable levels of performance.
He was speaking to the EDP ahead of the British Beet Research Organisation's annual conference at Peterborough on Tuesday when farmers' leader Peter Kendall and British Sugar's managing director, Richard Pike, will address delegates.
Mr Law, who is based near Royston, said that until British Sugar had grasped the nettle at the Newark factory and invested, it had been "an industry joke." Now, Newark, which had struggled to slice 8,500 tonnes each day was slicing 9,200 tonnes.
"The investment clearly made a big difference," he added.
Mr Law said performance at other factories, and especially at Cantley, has been very disappointing.
With the beet campaign now running into early March, many growers had voiced frustration at British Sugar's lack of investment plans, said Norfolk farmer David Papworth, chairman of beet reception committee for all four factories.
He said that British Sugar has now issued delivery permits for Cantley until March 4. While the processor has helped some growers by diverting beet from east Norfolk to other factories, it was a fact that all three East Anglia refineries had under-performed. He accepted that it had been a trying campaign and there had been sugar filtration problems, which had added to the difficulties.
At least, the condition of beet left in the ground was holding up and was probably better than tonnages left in clamp and roadside, which were becoming more of a concern.
Mr Law said that British Sugar's top management has talked about expansion. The new managing director Mr Pike was talking about 1.5 million tonnes of beet. "We all want to be part of a growing industry and seeing it move forward.
"We cannot understand how he is going to process 1.5m tonnes because last year, we had a 1.3m tonne crop and they had to slow the factories down at Christmas and the New Year because they couldn't cope with the volume of sugar production. They ran out of storage.
"This year we're looking at 1.15m tonnes or 150,000 tonnes less than last year and they have struggled all this season to process it.
So we're running an absolutely full-length campaign to process 1.15m tonnes. "We've asked British Sugar how the crop will be processed. What are your investment plans? What are your capital expenditure plans?
And we have had no response. "The few projects of capital investment outlined have concentrated more on reducing energy efficiency but nothing on storage," added Mr Law.
For the last two or three years, the tonnage has been grown and the acreage has increased. "This year we're in an almost perfect balance because quota is worth nothing to lease. You can buy it for nothing and transfer it for nothing."
With options to grow other crops, he said that he did not know of any growers looking to expand tonnage in 2014. "I know quite a few growers including some very big ones in Norfolk who are seriously looking to reduce their tonnage.
"There's a lot more competition for our acres now than two or three years ago. You can sell your oilseed rape crop three years' forward or maize to an AD (anaerobic digester) plant on a 10-year contract."
"One very large grower told that when you do the figures oilseed rape knocks sugar beet out of touch."
He grows about eight different crops. "This last year, sugar was fourth or fifth in the gross margin league and we averaged 79 tonnes per hectare. We're getting the yields but it is down the league table.
n East Norfolk NFU members have invited Ruth Digby, of the sugar board, to speak on Tuesday, 7.30pm, at Sutton Staithe Hotel, Stalham.

Gallery: Soul pictures
JUST before the first world war, the 38-year-old Swiss psychologist Carl Gustav Jung was troubled by awful dreams and visions. Analytical to the core, he embarked on what he later described as his "confrontation with the unconscious", and documented the lot.
The material went through various drafts before Jung recopied it all, using an ornate gothic script, into the single big, red, leather journal which gives the previously "lost" Red Book its popular name. Jung went on to add historiated (enlarged) initials, ornamental borders and a substantial number of paintings (see Soul pictures).
Though it was written for public consumption, Jung eventually decided not to publish it and put it to one side. After his death in 1961, the Jung family declined access to all comers. But nearly 50 years later, after years of dialogue with the Jungs, translation and editing, it is now published. ...

|Our Vision: Filling The City With Our Doctrine
|About Faith Ministries
|Written by Central Admin
|Tuesday, 01 March 2011 18:47
Back in the mid-eighties, God spoke clearly to us from Acts 5:28 where the Sanhedrin accused the disciples of having filled the whole of Jerusalem with their doctrine. The disciples were simply telling everyone they met that the Jesus who had been crucified was the Son of God and that He had risen from the dead. Meanwhile, whenever they met, they devoted themselves to teaching, to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. They took seriously Jesus' promise to them that when the Holy Spirit came, they would be His witnesses. We were not looking for this when the Lord dropped it on our hearts. It was so strong that we soon realised God wanted this to be our calling scripture as a ministry.
