salt & pepper is going paleo! Well, paleo-ish.
A little background – a few months ago I cut out dairy & sugar. My allergies had been acting up, my skin was going a bit haywire, and I was getting constant sinus headaches… something needed to change. So I met with Megan from Prescribe Nutrition (she's awesome!!) and she recommended first and foremost cutting out all dairy. Since I didn't have the biggest sweet tooth anyways, she was like, why not give up sugar too? At that point, giving up cheese sounded like the most horrific thing in the world, but I was willing to give it a shot. I didn't think the sugar would be that bad, but the thing is, it's in everything! So, I essentially was cutting out all processed food as well. And honestly, it wasn't that hard.
After a month of detoxing I was feeling good, so Megan signed me for an even more strict detox, essentially a modified paleo diet. Paleo gets a bad rep I think, as everyone thinks it's another fad diet like Atkins, but really it's all about changing your lifestyle and eating foods that aren't going to irritate your system. Paleo promotes eating foods that are
not processed
You'll cut out dairy, grains, legumes, sugar & processed foods. You'll focus on organic grass-fed or pastured meats, organic pastured eggs, organic fruits and vegetables, nuts & healthy oils. Essentially the goal is to eat the food in as close to its natural form as possible – cows are meant to eat grass and roam free, pigs & chickens are natural grazers and usually nibble at a bit of everything, and fruit & veggies shouldn't be doused in pesticides.
It's all about clean eating, and as soon as I made the switch to eating this way I really started to feel better. I can't remember the last time I got a headache, my eczema has vastly improved with less flare ups, and everything just seemed to click. So, I'm sticking with this as much as possible. This is not to say that I'm going cold-turkey paleo, and giving up pizza & bread forever, let's not get dramatic now! I'm all about the 80/20 rule and am literally counting down the days till we go up to Healdsburg in a few weeks and go to Scopa! But I'll be cooking this way at home as much as possible and choosing more paleo-like options while eating out.
And, there are some things that paleo-eaters are on the fence about – if you can tolerate dairy, full fat greek-yogurt and grass-fed butter seem to be a-okay (I know, it's hard to go for the full-fat after everything we've been taught!). Potatoes get some people all fired up, but most agree that they're just fine in a paleo diet. If you are going to eat cheese, try to find it raw (which our local Whole Foods sells) and eat it in moderation. Some people will add back in organic whole grains or rice. So, you don't have to be super strict about this, it's more about changing your diet to be less reliant on pre-packaged, processed foods and to make better choices about the quality of your ingredients.
So now, the recipe! Deviled eggs have become a favorite appetizer, lunch, or sometimes snack of mine since going paleo. You'll find a gazillion recipes online, but this is my go-to as it's really simple and I always have the ingredients on hand.
Deviled Eggs
(makes 20 servings)
10 organic pastured eggs
2 tbsp mustard
2 tbsp mayo (homemade or Sir K's if possible)
1/2 tsp sea salt
1/2 tsp freshly cracked pepper
4 slices organic bacon
fresh chives
First, cook the bacon – I heat my oven to 350 degrees, and then take a baking tray covered by a cookie drying rack and place the bacon on top of the rack. It usually takes 20-25 minutes to crisp up this way, depending on how thick the bacon is.
While the bacon is cooking, take the eggs and place them in a saucepan and fill it with water, covering them by 1/2 inch of water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn down so the water stays at a medium simmer (still bubbling, nothing crazy though) for 6-7 minutes.
Remove from heat, then place under cool running water. When they're cool enough to touch, peel them and cut in half. Remove the yolks into a separate bowl or food processor.
Add the mayo, mustard, salt and pepper and either mash it up or give it a blitz in the food processor.
Spoon the mixture into each egg half (or, if you're feeling fancy, use a piping bag), top with 1/3 a slice of bacon, and then snip the ends of the chives over the top and finish with another crack of pepper.
More zoodles!
Hop on over to The Daily Muse to check out 3 more easy recipes with my new favorite ingredient…
zucchini noodles!
I first stumbled upon Zoodles on Nom Nom Paleo, and then started to see them all across the web… they're super trendy I suppose! You may be wondering what zoodles are, with such a silly name and all. They're simply zucchini strands, cut into spirals using a handy dandy machine you can buy on Amazon.
All you do is cut off the ends of the zucchini, place it in the machine horizontally, and then start cranking the handle. Spirals galore will start pouring out, it's actually quite fun.
To make it a meal I made a quick cheats meat sauce (ground meat + store-bought pasta sauce) and sauteed the zoodles in a little olive oil to soften slightly.
That's it! Just serve with some grated cheese on top and you'll be good to go.
I will always love my mason jar salads, but sometimes you just have to shake things up — behold the bento box, the perfect container to bring your lunch (plus snacks!) to work each day, and have a little fun while you're at it.
Check out my article on The Daily Muse for 3 sample bento boxes, plus loads more ideas on what to pack!

Gentz sentence will come in March
Kathy Ryan Staff Writer
write the author
January 31, 2013
The sentencing hearing for Joseph Gentz, the handyman who pleaded guilty to killing Grosse Pointe Park resident Jane Bashara, has been rescheduled for March 1.
The hearing, originally set for Jan. 29 in Wayne County Circuit Court, was rescheduled by Judge Vonda Evans. No reason was given.
Gentz pleaded guilty Dec. 21, to second-degree murder in the case as part of a plea deal that allowed a second charge he faced, conspiracy to commit murder, to be dismissed. He had originally been charged with first degree murder in the case, as well as conspiracy. Both carried mandatory sentences of life in prison without parole if convicted. Under the plea deal, Gentz will face no less than 17 years in prison and no more than 28.
In pleading guilty, Gentz admitted his role in the murder, but said he killed Jane Bashara at the request of her husband, Bob Bashara.
Jane Basraha was reported missing by her husband the night of Jan. 24, 2012. Her body was found the next morning in the backseat of her SUV that had been abandoned in an alley in Detroit. She had been strangled.
Gentz, who had worked as a handyman for Bob Bashara, admitted to police in February he had killed Jane Bashara. Bob Bashara was named as a person of interest by Grosse Pointe Park police in the case, but has not been charged in the murder of his wife. However, he was arrested in June 2012 for attempting to hire a hit man to kill Gentz. He pleaded guilty to the charge, and is serving six to 17 years at the Oaks Correctional Facility in Manistee.
Police and prosecutors decline to speculate on whether Bashara will ever be charged with the murder of Jane Bashara, but will acknowledge the investigation remains open.

Coping with a Multiple Sclerosis Diagnosis in your Twenties
"Can we talk for a moment?" he asked while waving to me over our backyard fence. I like this guy, a lot. He's quite a bit older than me, but fit as a fiddle. One of those guys who, when you look at him, you cross your fingers and silently hope that you look and feel as good when you're that age. Dropping my rake, happy for the break, I walk to...

Requiem or recovery?: the Sumatran rhino 200 years after its description
(01/08/2014) In 1893, William Bell, a surgeon in the service of the Dutch East India Company stationed in Bencoolen, Sumatra, examined the body of a dead rhinoceros. The animal, a male, was relatively small as rhinoceroses go, measuring only four feet four inches at the shoulder and eight feet five inches from its nose to the tip of its tail. Dr. Bell noted that the animal resembled a large hog and judged it to be a young individual based upon the condition of the bones and teeth.
Rewilding Chile's savanna with guanacos could increase biodiversity and livestock
(01/06/2014) Local extinctions have occurred across a variety of habitats on every continent, affecting a gamut of species from large predators such as the wolves of North America, to tiny amphibians like the Kihansi spray toad of Tanzania. The long trek toward reversing such extinctions has begun, but it is not without its challenges, both ethical and logistical.
Rainforest news review for 2013
(12/26/2013) 2013 was full of major developments in efforts to understand and protect the world's tropical rainforests. The following is a review of some of the major tropical forest-related news stories for the year. As a review, this post will not cover everything that transpired during 2013 in the world of tropical forests. Please feel free to highlight anything this post missed via the comments section at the bottom. Also please note that this review focuses only on tropical forests.
Jaguars in Argentine Chaco on verge of local extinction
(12/23/2013) The majestic jaguar (Panthera onca), the largest of the New World cats, is found as far north as the southern states of the US, and as far south as northern Argentina. In the past jaguars ranged 1,500 kilometers (930 miles) further south, but their range has shrunk as habitat loss and human disturbance have increased. Overall, jaguars are classified as Near Threatened by the IUCN, but the level of risk facing jaguars varies by region. Populations in Argentina, at the present-day southern range limit, have previously been identified as some of the most threatened of them all.
Biggest new animal discoveries of 2013 (photos)
(12/23/2013) Thousands of species were scientifically described for the first time in 2013. Many of these were 'cryptic species' that were identified after genetic analysis distinguished them from closely-related species, while others were totally novel. Below are some of the most interesting "new species" discoveries that took place or were formally announced in 2013.
Unraveling the secrets of one of the world's most mysterious big cats
(12/22/2013) The Sunda clouded leopard has always been shrouded in mystery. Only declared a separate species from its mainland cousin, the Borneo clouded leopard, in 2006, the IUCN lists the cat as Endangered. The distinction between the Borneo clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulas) and the Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) was made by ground-breaking molecular coding technologies and anatomy studies of the two species. Although it is Borneo's largest predator, very little is known about the Sunda leopard. As a medium-sized, well-camouflaged and mostly nocturnal animal, the leopard has evaded researchers since its discovery eight years ago.
Top 10 HAPPY environmental stories of 2013
(12/19/2013) China begins to tackle pollution, carbon emissions: As China's environmental crisis worsens, the government has begun to unveil a series of new initiatives to curb record pollution and cut greenhouse emissions. The world's largest consumer of coal, China's growth in emissions is finally slowing and some experts believe the nation's emissions could peak within the decade. If China's emissions begin to fall, so too could the world's.
Using stories to connect people to biodiversity: an interview with Tara Waters Lumpkin, PhD
(12/18/2013) In a world where extinctions are almost commonplace and global warming barely raises an eyebrow, very few of us can return to find the places we grew up in unsullied by development. Sometimes, all that is left of a favorite grove of trees or strip of forest are memories. Through Izilwane: Voices for Biodiversity Project, an online magazine for story-tellers, Tara Waters Lumpkin has succeeded in bringing together more than one hundred "eco-writers" who have shared their memories, highlighted environmental crises in their localities and raised their voices against habitat destruction.
Scientists make one of the biggest animal discoveries of the century: a new tapir
(12/16/2013) In what will likely be considered one of the biggest (literally) zoological discoveries of the Twenty-First Century, scientists today announced they have discovered a new species of tapir in Brazil and Colombia. The new mammal, hidden from science but known to local indigenous tribes, is actually one of the biggest animals on the continent, although it's still the smallest living tapir. Described in the Journal of Mammology, the scientists have named the new tapir Tapirus kabomani after the name for 'tapir' in the local Paumari language: Arabo kabomani.
Journalists win environmental news reporting prizes
(12/10/2013) Mongabay's internship program has benefited from the hard work and great environmental reporting of more than 30 writing interns since the program's inception in July 2012. This year, Mongabay asked this pool of contributing authors to submit their most compelling piece out of over 150 articles. The submissions were then reviewed by a panel.
Top 10 Environmental Stories of 2013
(12/10/2013) 1. Carbon concentrations hit 400ppm while the IPCC sets global carbon budget: For the first time since our appearance on Earth, carbon concentrations in the atmosphere hit 400 parts per million. The last time concentrations were this high for a sustained period was 4-5 million years ago when temperatures were 10 degrees Celsius higher. Meanwhile, in the slow-moving effort to curb carbon emissions, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) crafted a global carbon budget showing that most of the world's fossil fuel reserves must be left untouched if we are to avoid catastrophic climate change.
World's biggest palm oil company makes zero deforestation commitment
(12/05/2013) Wilmar, the world's largest palm oil trader and a long-time target of environmentalists, has signed a landmark policy that commits the company to eliminate deforestation from its supply chain. The deal, if fully implemented, has the potential to transform the palm oil industry, which has emerged over the past decade as one of the world's most important drivers of tropical forest destruction.
Sky islands: exploring East Africa's last frontier
(12/04/2013) The montane rainforests of East Africa are little-known to the global public. The Amazon and Congo loom much larger in our minds, while the savannas of East Africa remain the iconic ecosystems for the region. However these ancient, biodiverse forests—sitting on the tops of mountains rising from the African savanna—are home to some remarkable species, many found only in a single forest. A team of international scientists—Michele Menegon, Fabio Pupin, and Simon Loader—have made it their mission to document the little-known reptiles and amphibians in these so-called sky islands, many of which are highly imperiled.
Animal Earth: exploring the hidden biodiversity of our planet
(12/03/2013) Most of the species on Earth we never see. In fact, we have no idea what they look like, much less how spectacular they are. In general, people can identify relatively few of their backyard species, much less those of other continents. This disconnect likely leads to an inability in the general public to relate to biodiversity and, by extension, the loss of it. One of the most remarkable books I have read is a recent release that makes serious strides to repair that disconnect and affirm the human bond with biodiversity. Animal Earth: The Amazing Diversity of Living Creatures written by Ross Piper, a zoologist with the University of Leeds, opens up the door to discovery.
Reversing local extinction: scientists bring the northern bald ibis back to Europe after 300 years
(12/02/2013) The northern bald ibis (Geronticus eremita), also called the hermit ibis or waldrapp, is a migratory bird. Once, the bald ibis lived in the Middle East, northern Africa and southern and central Europe, but due to hunting, loss of habitat and pesticide-use, the birds disappeared from most of these areas and is currently considered Critically Endangered. It became extinct in Europe 300 years ago; the bird is almost gone in Syria, with only a single individual recorded at the country's lone breeding site in 2013; and the only stronghold left is a small population of around 500 birds in Morocco. But now, a team of scientists from Austria is working to reestablish a self-sustaining, migratory population of bald ibis in Europe.
New project works to raise the profile of the world's littlest bear
(12/02/2013) The world's least-known bear also happens to be the smallest: sun bears (Helarctos malayanus), so called for the yellowish horseshoe mark on its chest, are found across Southeast Asia. But despite their telltale markings, super-long tongues, and endearing cuteness, sun bears remain little-studied and little-known compared to many of the region's other large mammals. Now, a new project is working to raise the profile of the sun bears of Borneo—Survival of the Sun Bears—which are a smaller subspecies of the mainland animals.
Scientists discover new cat species roaming Brazil
(11/27/2013) As a family, cats are some of the most well-studied animals on Earth, but that doesn't mean these adept carnivores don't continue to surprise us. Scientists have announced today the stunning discovery of a new species of cat, long-confused with another. Looking at the molecular data of small cats in Brazil, researchers found that the tigrina—also known as the oncilla in Central America—is actually two separate species. The new species has been dubbed Leopardus guttulus and is found in the Atlantic Forest of southern Brazil, while the other Leopardus tigrinus is found in the cerrado and Caatinga ecosystems in northeastern Brazil.
New children's book celebrates the rich wildlife of Kibale National Park
(11/25/2013) There are many ways in which people practice conservation. The most well-known are working to save species in the field or setting up protected areas. But just as important—arguably more important for long-term conservation success—is conservation education, especially with children. Anyone who grew up watching David Attenborough documentaries, reading Gerald Durrell books, or simply exploring ecosystems on their own can tell you how important it is to encounter the wonders of wildlife at a young age. And for many of us most of our first encounters with wild animals are in illustrated books. Eric Losh's new book, The Chorus of Kibale, not only provides an educational opportunity for children to become acquainted with the many animals in Kibale National park in Uganda—through wonderful pictures and sounds—but proceed also go directly to two conservation groups working in the region, U.N.I.T.E. for the environment and the Primate Education Network (PEN).
The quicksilver demon: rogue gold-mining is the world's largest source of mercury pollution
(11/20/2013) In 1956, in the quiet seaside town of Minamata on the southwestern coast of Japan's Kyushu Island, cats began to behave very strangely. They convulsed, displayed excessive salivation, and gradually lost the ability to walk. Then, dead birds began to fall out of the sky. Shellfish opened and decomposed. Fish also displayed abnormal behaviors, eventually floating up to the surface of the Shiranui Sea. Many of the ailing cats wandered into the sea and drowned. Soon, there were no more cats alive in the area.
The swan song of India's dancing bears
(11/20/2013) India's last dancing bear has retired. As the stars of their cruel little roadshows, sloth bears danced to the piercing sounds of the damru for hundreds of years. Orphaned by poachers and trained by the Qalandars, a nomadic Muslim community, these bears trudged through towns and villages to earn their masters a meager livelihood.
UN talks tough to global coal industry
(11/19/2013) Yesterday, at the International Coal and Climate Summit—just a couple miles from the ongoing UN Climate Summit—Christiana Figueres delivered a speech unlike anything ever heard at a coal industry meeting before. Figueres, the Executive Director of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), took time off from wrangling world leaders and officials toward a climate agreement to talk tough to an industry currently worth around $3 trillion.
Fracking: the good, the bad and the ugly
(11/18/2013) The last few years have ushered in a new national and global awareness of fracking, the 150-year-old technology for extracting natural gas and oil from rock. Fracking, short for hydraulic fracturing, uses ultra-high-pressure slurries to create hairline fractures throughout solid rock. Oil, and more frequently gas, comes rushing out while sand from the mixture holds the fractures open in this nearly alchemical process. As many readers are aware, there are two very divisive schools of thought on fracking. One side touts it as the future of energy. The other derides fracking as inherently toxic and demands its immediate and permanent cessation. Like so many aspects of life, the truth lies somewhere in between.
World's most vulnerable nation to climate change turns to coal power
(11/18/2013) In October, a global risks analysis company, Maplecroft, named Bangladesh the world's most vulnerable nation to climate change by 2050. The designation came as little surprise, since Bangladesh's government and experts have been warning for years of climatic impacts, including rising sea levels, extreme weather, and millions of refugees. However, despite these very public warnings, in recent years the same government has made a sudden turn toward coal power—the most carbon intensive fuel source—with a master plan of installing 15,000 megawatts (MW) of coal energy by 2030, which could potentially increase the country's current carbon dioxide emissions by 160 percent.
Zero net deforestation is the wrong target, warn experts
(11/14/2013) Environmental initiatives that target zero net deforestation may miss their mark when it comes to slowing climate change and protecting biodiversity, warns a commentary published in this week's issue of the journal Science. While zero net deforestation may seem like a worthy target in efforts to curb forest loss, Sandra Brown and Daniel Zarin argue that the goal is at best, ambiguous, and at worst, may lead to perverse outcomes for the world's forests.
Powered by Google, high resolution forest map reveals massive deforestation worldwide
(11/14/2013) Researchers today released a long-awaited tool that reveals the extent of forest cover loss and gain on a global scale. Powered by Google's massive computing cloud, the interactive forest map establishes a new baseline for measuring deforestation and forest recovery across all of the world's countries, biomes, and forest types. The map has far-reaching implications for efforts to slow deforestation, which accounts for roughly ten percent of greenhouse gas emissions produced by human activities, according to the authors of the paper that describes the tool and details its first findings.
Bangladesh plans massive coal plant in world's biggest mangrove forest
(11/11/2013) On October 22nd Bangladeshi and Indian officials were supposed to hold a ceremony laying the foundation stone for the Rampal power plant, a massive new coal-fired plant that will sit on the edge of the Sundarbans, the world's largest mangrove forest. However, the governments suddenly cancelled the ceremony, instead announcing that the project had already been inaugurated in early October by the countries' heads of state via a less-ornate Skype call. While the governments say the change was made because of busy schedules, activists contend the sudden scuttling of the ceremony was more likely due to rising pressure against the coal plant, including a five-day march in September that attracted thousands.
Could camera trap videos galvanize the world to protect Yasuni from oil drilling?
(11/07/2013) Even ten years ago it would have been impossible to imagine: clear-as-day footage of a jaguar plodding through the impenetrable Amazon, or a bicolored-spined porcupine balancing on a branch, or a troop of spider monkeys feeding at a clay lick, or a band of little coatis racing one-by-one from the dense foliage. These are things that even researchers who have spent a lifetime in the Amazon may never see. Now anyone can: scientists at the Tiputini Biodiversity Station in Ecuador's Yasuní National Park have recently begun using camera trap videos to take movies of animals few will ever view in their lifetimes. The videos—following years of photo camera trapping—provide an intimate view of a world increasingly threatened by the oil industry.
The mystery of the disappearing elephant tusk
(10/30/2013) Give it a few thousand years, and tusks could completely disappear from the Asian elephant (Elephas maximus). The beautifully smooth, elongated ivory incisors neatly bordering a long trunk are iconic in the public mind. The reigning hypothesis is that tusks evolved to help male elephants fight one another, as demonstrated when males compete over females in estrus. However, a recent study published in the journal Animal Behaviour has shown that tusks may not be key factors in tussles, at least as far as elephants are concerned.
Gold mining in the Amazon rainforest surges 400%
(10/28/2013) The extent of gold mining in the Peruvian Amazon has surged 400 percent since 1999 due to rocketing gold prices, wreaking havoc on forests and devastating local rivers, finds a new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS). The assessment, led by Greg Asner of the Carnegie Institution for Science, is based on a combination of satellite imagery, on-the-ground field surveys, and an advanced airplane-based sensor that can accurately measure the rainforest canopy and sub-canopy vegetation at a resolution of 1.1 meters (42 inches).
Photo essay: notes from India's Kabini River
(10/25/2013) The Nilgiris, also known as the "Blue mountains," in southern India are an extraordinary mountain range that form one of the most diverse biospheres in the country, the Nilgiri Biosphere. And the Nagarhole National Park, declared a tiger reserve in 1999 is part of this biosphere. The Kabini River flows through the National park and is the lifeline to a wide variety of flora and fauna. This river transforms Nagarhole into a water world of wonder.
Armored giant turns out to be vital ecosystem engineer
(10/24/2013) The giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus) is not called a giant for nothing: it weighs as much as a large dog and grows longer than the world's biggest tortoise. However, despite its gigantism, many people in its range—from the Amazon to the Pantanal—don't even know it exists or believe it to be more mythology than reality. This is a rare megafauna that has long eluded not only scientific study, but even basic human attention. However, undertaking the world's first long-term study of giant armadillos has allowed intrepid biologist, Arnaud Desbiez, to uncovered a wealth of new information about these cryptic creatures. Not only has Desbiez documented giant armadillo reproduction for the first time, but has also discovered that these gentle giants create vital habitats for a variety of other species.
The palm oil debate: can the world's most productive oilseed be less damaging to the environment?
(10/21/2013) On Thursday, 17 October 2013 Mongabay.com and the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) co-hosted a discussion on environmental issues related to palm oil. The discussion involved representatives from WWF, Greenpeace and the RSPO. Mongabay.com Founder Rhett A. Butler served as the moderator.
Art, education, and health: holistic conservation group embarks on new chapter
(10/21/2013) It's unlikely conservation organizations can survive if they are unwilling to embrace change: as an endeavor, conservation requires not just longterm planning, but also an ability to move proactively and fluidly to protect species and safeguard ecosystems. Environmental and education NGO, the Art of Conservation, is currently embarking on its biggest change since its foundation in 2006: moving away from its base in Rwanda, while leaving a legacy behind.
Yeti may be undescribed bear species
(10/20/2013) The purported Yeti, an ape-like creature that walks upright and roams the remote Himalayas, may in fact be an ancient polar bear species, according to new DNA research by Bryan Sykes with Oxford University. Sykes subjected two hairs from what locals say belonged to the elusive Yeti only to discover that the genetics matched a polar bear jawbone found in Svalbard, Norway dating from around 120,000 (though as recent as 40,000 years ago).
Mammal-watching: one man's obsession to see the world's mammals
(10/16/2013) There are more than 5,000 different mammal species across the globe, but with this number being dwarfed by the 10,000 bird species, it is little wonder that bird-watching has become the most common wildlife watching hobby in the world. While there are thousands of websites dedicated to ornithology enthusiasts, with information detailing the best places to see particular species and how to find them, similar resources about mammals remain scarce.
Meeting the mammal that survived the dinosaurs
(10/14/2013) So, here I am, running in a forest at night over 2,000 miles from home. This forest—dry, stout, and thorny enough to draw blood—lies just a few miles north of a rural town in the western edge of the Dominican Republic on the border with Haiti. I'm following—or trying to keep pace with—a local hunter and guide as we search for one of the world's most bizarre mammals. It's an animal few people have heard of, let alone actually seen; even most Dominicans don't readily recognize its name or picture. But I've been obsessed with it for six years: it's called a "solenodon," more accurately the Hispaniolan solenodon or its (quite appropriate) scientific name, Solenodon paradoxus.
Tapirs, drug-trafficking, and eco-police: practicing conservation amidst chaos in Nicaragua
(10/10/2013) Nicaragua is a nation still suffering from deep poverty, a free-flowing drug trade, and festering war-wounds after decades of internecine fighting. However, like any country that has been largely defined by its conflicts, Nicaragua possesses surprises that overturn conventional wisdom. Not the least of which is that the Central American country is still home to big, stunning species, including jaguars, giant anteaters, pumas, and the nation's heaviest animal, the Baird's tapir (Tapirus bairdii). Still, not surprisingly given the nation's instability, most conservationists have avoided Nicaragua. But tapir-expert Christopher Jordan, who has worked in the country for over four years, says he wouldn't have it any other way.
Unlikely success: how Zimbabwe has become a global leader in rhino conservation
(10/02/2013) With its collapsed economy, entrenched poverty, and political tremors, one would not expect that a country like Zimbabwe would have the capacity to safeguard its rhinos against determined and well-funded poachers, especially as just across the border South Africa is currently losing over two rhinos a day on average. And indeed, without the Lowveld Rhino Trust (LRT), rhinos in Zimbabwe would probably be near local extinction. But the LRT, which is centrally involved in the protection of around 90 percent of the country's rhinos in private reserves along with conservancy members, has proven tenacious and innovative in its battle to safeguard the nation's rhinos from the poaching epidemic.
'Yet another wakeup call': global warming is here, it's manmade, and we're not doing enough to stop it
(09/28/2013) Human actions are responsible for warming the Earth, reconfirms the landmark Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report released today, the first mammoth report on the physical science of climate change issued in seven years. Scientists now say they are 95-100 percent certain that human actions—such as burning fossil fuels and cutting down forests—are behind the observed rise in global temperatures since at least 1950. Average temperatures have risen 0.85 degrees Celsius since 1880, but the new report warns that depending on how much more fossil fuels are burnt, temperature rises could exceed 4 degrees Celsius (9 degrees Fahrenheit) with untold consequences for global society.
Climate change pushing tropical trees upslope 'exactly as predicted'
(09/27/2013) Tropical tree communities are moving up mountainsides to cooler habitats as temperatures rise, a new study in Global Change Biology has found. By examining the tree species present in ten one-hectare plots at various intervals over a decade, researchers found that the proportion of lowland species increased in the plots at higher elevations. The study, which was undertaken in Volcan Barva, Costa Rica, adds to a growing body of evidence that climate change is having an impact on species range distributions.
Forgotten species: the nearly extinct primate that can be shot on sight
(09/27/2013) The attention paid to charismatic popular primates—such as gorillas, chimps, orangutans, lion tamarins, and even some lemurs—could make one suppose that conservationists have the protection of our closest relatives well in hand; the astounding fact that no primate species is known to have gone extinct in the last hundred years (despite large-scale destruction of their habitats) seems to confirm this statement. However, looking more closely at the data, one finds that not only are many of the world's primates slipping toward extinction, but a number of them have received little conservation attention. According to the IUCN Red List, a staggering 48 percent of the world's primates are threatened with extinction: that's a worse percentage than amphibians which have been ravaged by a global epidemic. And although a handful of the world's 600-plus primates have garnered conservation adoration, many remain obscure.
Malaysia clearcutting forest reserves for timber and palm oil
(09/26/2013) In July Bikam Permanent Forest Reserve in Malaysia's Perak state was degazetted, allowing the forest to be clearcut for an oil palm plantation. Only after the forest was lost, did the Forest Research Institute Malaysia (FRIM) announce that it had contained the last stands of keruing paya (Dipterocarpus coriaceus) on the Malay peninsula, a large hardwood tree that's classified as Critically Endangered on the IUCN Red List. The species is now reportedly extinct in Malaysia, although may still be found in Indonesia. However, the degazettement of the 400-hectare Bikam Forest Reserve wasn't an abnormality, according to activists. Since 2009, over 9,000 hectares of Permanent Forest Reserves have been degazetted in northwestern state, wiping out not just trees, but undercutting protected mammals and birds while threatening watersheds.
President's pledge to ban commercial fishing around Pacific island nation slow to materialize
(09/23/2013) In 2010 President Anote Tong of Kiribati made a historic pledge, committing to protect the waters around his island nation in a massive marine protected area. He said the gesture represented Kiribati's contribution to protecting the environment and he urged industrial countries to do the same by cutting their greenhouse gas emissions, which threaten low-lying islands with rising sea levels. The commitment raised Tong's profile, winning him international accolades, and boosted the tiny country's standing in the fight against climate change. But since 2010 questions have begun to emerge about the extent of Tong's commitment.
Attempt to export nearly-extinct pygmy sloths sets off international incident in Panama
(09/20/2013) Last Monday, the police officer on morning duty at Isla Colón International Airport, Panama noticed some foreigners loading crates with what appeared to be animals on a private jet. Finding this suspicious, he alerted his supervisor. Within minutes the local police chief, the mayor of Bocas, the director of the regional office of the National Environmental Authority (ANAM), community leaders and heads of local conservation organizations were informed about the incident. Little by little, a crowd of concerned citizens from Bocas town gathered around what turned out to be eight pygmy sloths – some of the rarest mammals on Earth
Climate change could kill off Andean cloud forests, home to thousands of species found nowhere else
(09/18/2013) One of the richest ecosystems on the planet may not survive a hotter climate without human help, according to a sobering new paper in the open source journal PLoS ONE. Although little-studied compared to lowland rainforests, the cloud forests of the Andes are known to harbor explosions of life, including thousands of species found nowhere else. Many of these species—from airy ferns to beautiful orchids to tiny frogs—thrive in small ranges that are temperature-dependent. But what happens when the climate heats up?
Lions rising: community conservation making a difference for Africa's kings in Mozambique
(09/17/2013) Everyone knows that tigers, pandas, and blue whales are threatened with extinction—but lions!? Researchers were shocked to recently discover that lion populations have fallen precipitously: down to around 30,000 animals across the African continent. While 30,000 may sound like a lot, this is a nearly 70 percent decline since 1960. In addition, lion populations are increasingly fragmented with a number of populations having vanished altogether. However, there is hope: one place where lion populations are actually on the rise is Niassa National Reserve in Mozambique. Here, lion populations have risen by around 60 percent in just seven years. In part this is due to the effort of Colleen and Keith Begg.
Photo essay: India's Western Ghats is a haven for endemic amphibians
(09/16/2013) The Western Ghats are a globally recognized repository of biological diversity for our planet. We know very little about most species found here, particularly the ecologically sensitive and spectacularly beautiful 179 amphibians. Astonishingly, 87% of all Western Ghats frogs are endemic and found nowhere else on the planet. Our collaborative research project with Drs Paul Robbins and Ashwini Chhatre examining biodiversity in production landscapes of Ghats unearthed some spectacular amphibians in 2013.
Butchering nature's titans: without the elephant 'we lose an essential pillar in the ability to wonder'
(09/12/2013) Africa's elephant poaching crisis doesn't just threaten a species, but imperils one of humanity's most important links to the natural world and even our collective sanity, according to acclaimed photographers and film-makers, Cyril Christo and Marie Wilkinson. Authors of the book Walking Thunder - In the Footsteps of the African Elephant, Christo and Wilkinson have been documenting Africa's titans in photos and film for several years. In 2011, the pair released a film Lysander's Song (named after their son an avid fan of elephants) which depicts the millennial-old relationship between humans and elephants.
Japanese firms buying illegal timber from Malaysia's endangered rainforests
(09/10/2013) Japanese companies are failing to keep illegally logged timber from entering their supply chains, international human rights and environmental watchdog Global Witness said in a report released today. The report links several major Japanese firms to logging companies that are destroying tropical rainforests in Malaysian Borneo through illegal and destructive logging practices in Sarawak province.
Protecting predators in the wildest landscape you've never heard of
(09/10/2013) The Serengeti, the Congo, the Okavango Delta: many of Africa's great wildernesses are household names, however on a continent that never fails to surprise remain vast wild lands practically unknown to the global public. One of these is the Ruaha landscape: covering 51,800 square kilometers (20,000 square miles) of southern Tanzania's woodlands and savannah, Ruaha contains the largest population of elephants in East Africa, over 500 bird species, and a wealth of iconic top predators, including cheetah, hyena, wild dogs, leopard, and—the jewel in its crown—10 percent of the world's lions. But that's not all, one of Africa's least-known and secretive tribal groups, the Barabaig, also calls Ruaha home.

Re: The "8800GTX Fits My Case!" Thread
Ok here's the shot of the BFG 8800GTX in an Antec Nine Hundred case. It's a tight fit.
In the bottom pic, you'll notice that you have to arrange the hard drives or the end of the card will overlap the hard drive by about half an inch. I still have room for a 2nd 8800GTX later and my 4 hard drives. I could also alleviate this by condensing my hard drives or creating a NAS enclosure to move most of my mass storage (fam pics, music, movies) onto the network.
Oh well, hope this helps. The 900 is a very nice case though. Lots of space, nice design, very good airflow, etc...

Need to know: CV cliches Why you can`t find a jobHF interviews
A US$18.5 billion Australian natural-gas project is short of natural gas for its export terminal. A rival project nearby without an export terminal needs somewhere to process its natural gas for export.
Sound like a recipe for a major deal? Analysts are increasingly thinking so.
The first project is a liquefied natural gas, or LNG, joint venture in Australia's Queensland state known as GLNG that includes local player Santos Ltd. and France's Total SA. The competing project that hasn't started construction yet is a joint venture between Royal Dutch Shell Plc and PetroChina Co. known as Arrow Energy.
Luke Smith, an energy analyst at Commonwealth Bank of Australia, reckons GLNG is "uneconomic" in its current form and will struggle to be profitable if it can't find a way to increase its value.
Merging with Arrow could be its best option.
The commitment of some of the world's biggest oil companies to a massive Australian natural gas project is about to be put to the test.
Chevron, Shell, BP and BHP Billiton all have a slice of the Browse liquefied natural gas development, estimated by analysts to cost over US$30 billion to build, assuming it can overcome significant technical and environmental challenges.
Project operator Woodside Petroleum just agreed to sell a 14.7% chunk of Browse to Japanese companies for US$2 billion. The other minority shareholders have an option to buy the same stake at the same price under pre-emptive rights agreements.
But the valuation put on the project's equity suggests another possibility: rather than pre-empt Woodside's deal, will any of the minority partners look to exit the project instead?

History of Marbury Hall and Parkland
This History of Marbury Hall and Parkland has been compiled by FoAM members Frances Findlay and Alan Redley. It arose from research carried out to update and replace an Interpretation Panel about the Hall. Far more information was collected than could be used on the panel and the research has since been extended. Marbury Hall was demolished at the end of 1968 and information about the history of the Hall and surrounding Parkland is frequently requested by visitors, so FoAM decided to make much more of the collected research material accessible here.
The research has been carried out by Frances Findlay, Chris Moseley, Nathan Rathbone and Alan Redley, with help from local historian Geoff Buchan (who kindly agreed to us using material from his book 'BELMONT The House That Jack Built, 1996)'. FoAM member Clive Brookes is researching Marbury during the Second World War and some of his research has been included in Section 5, Second World War Years. Also, letters and articles in the Northwich Guardian have resulted in new information coming to light from its readers.
Thank you to all those who have supplied information or helped in other ways.
Frances Findlay and Alan Redley.
The research material has been organised into sections:
Section 1 Families Associated with Marbury Hall
Section 2 Houses on the Marbury Hall Site
Section 3 Collections of Books, Art and Marbles Housed in Marbury Hall
Section 4 Marbury Hall Country Club
Section 5 Second World War Years
Section 6 ICI Ownership of Marbury Hall and Park
Section 7 Legends Associated with Marbury Hall and its Families
Section 8 Marbury Country Park
(Section 5 updated June 2014)
(Sections 1 and 3 updated August 2014)

Hi, I've been reading your website recently, I was wondering if any of your members have any photo's of the isolation hospital at marbury off old Warrington rd,
It ws situated on winnington side of Heydons pool
Regards Joe
The road through to Northwich was called The Old Hole and the ice-cream was made by an Italian family called Bacegalupo, always shortened to Bacchys. The dancing school was run by Kitty OAKES
My great grandfather John Harrison worked on the estate in the 1930s when it was a country club. He was head groom. The gentry would visit for weekends etc enjoying riding, fishing, shooting and general relaxing. John made sure all the horses were ready and managed the stable lads that worked there. He would often sleep over the stalls in the hay ready for early starts. He told his son Vincent that he saw the Marbury Lady ! Quite a famous ghost in those parts and he was deadly serious. He was also a horse judge of hackney horses and hunters, very well respected too.
Does anyone know where I can view a catalogue of the books in the Marbury Hall collection please. I understand there was a catalogue made around 1819?
I lived in Northwich as a child and my mum taught dancing at Kitty Lakes dancing school where she taught some polish children that lived in Marbury hall.I remember mum taking me so see them and can remember how huge and the height of the rooms.It was (how I remember) a fabulous place.I also remember biking from Church Road with my boyfriend(now husband) to visit friends that lived in one of the huts and thinking how lovely they were inside.Many happy days spent in and around Marbury..it was our haunt as kids.I live on the isle of Anglesey,but when we visit friends it is lovely to look round all the old places……..happy days!
Memories…. I lived in Marbury Road, Anderton at the top of Marbury Hollows. I went to Winnington Park School and caught the bus with all the Marbury Park kids. I had friends who lived in both East and West Park, names that come to mind are Suzanne Lamb and Susan Bradley. Dad worked for ICI and every Summer I went to Marbury Baths. I was taught to swim there by a lady who taught swimming there for years (I can see her but can't remember her name). There after I would ride my bike to the baths after school in Summer. I remember the phone box. We didn't have a phone and I remember biking with my Dad to the phone box to make calls to his old army mates in Preston (when I was little, sitting on the cross bar of his bike). When he was on the phone I would play on the steps that in grander times would have led to the mere. I too remember the garden beds and the fountain near the baths. What a shame the hall was allowed to fall into disrepair. I left Anderton and Northwich when I was 18 and never lived there again. The past 30 odd years I have lived in Sydney, Australia bringing up two Aussie children who despite the distance appreciate their Cheshire roots. Years ago when I was in my 20's I was interviewed for a job by a guy who it turned out who had been a prisioner of war at Marbury, one of a number of interesting 6 degrees of separation moments I have had with Cheshire since being in Australia.
This has brought back so many memories for me and my family wish more people would print more memories.
We lived in number 8! Oooops! I've gone senile in me old age! Since the last note I've remembered other things about Marbury:
1. The bus service was rubbish – about 3 buses a day is all we got!
2. The huge conker tree in the field directly opposite Woodcock's farm entrance. I can't remember how much time we spent chucking sticks up that tree to knock the conkers off the branches!
3. Marbury Hall snooker room! We used to sneak in through the open windows in the summer – but we hadn't a clue how to make the snooker table lights come on…..we played snooker in the dark for about years!
4. I was the BEST paper boy in all of Comberbach and Marbury from 1965 to 1968! I got up to collect the papers from Wyatt's paper shop in Comberbach at 6am every morning, including Sundays. I got 15 shillings a week wages!I went to school after I'd completed my morning paper round.
5. "Three Trees"! Pete will remember – we played football nearly all the time on a patch of ground directly between the telephone box and Marbury Hall. We called it "Three Trees" – it was always better than playing on the football pitch over at East Park.
6. "The Old Dole" – is how me mam used to call the road that went from Marbury, through to Barber's Garage at the top end of Witton Street in Northwich. (Why it's called the 'Old Dole' I don't know – maybe I've got the spelling wrong, but I'm sure that's what me mam always named it) I biked up and down that road for 2 years going to Sir John Deane's Grammar School.
5. Bill Gardener! Bill was an ICI employee, and actually also the gardener who tended all the lawns and gardens around Marbury Hall. He made a beautiful job of it always. I loved the smell of new-mown grass when Bill had been round with his lawn-mowers.
6. The Marbury Shop: We got fed up of going for stuff and finding they had sold out or were waiting for delivery of something.
7. Batchey's the Ice Cream Man! Not very good by modern-day standards, but his 'Dragon's Blood' on an ice-cream cornet was me favourite!
Ayup Steve,
Typical , you old bugger – we lived at number 8 , the Fletcher's lived at number 7 ! 😉
No mention of scrumping in the orchard – we had a few visits from the local bobby about that!
Thanks again team – fine effort.
Hi. Thanks for the info – really great to see the pictures and info from all those years ago. We grew up in Marbury – we lived in No7 West Park. Next door to the Perkins family. My brother Pete and I travelled to Winnington Park Primary school each day, until we left Marbury in 1966, and relocated to Weaverham.
Another highlight for us was every Thursday night for the 1st Marbury Cubs and Scouts – which Tom Holland and David Ikin ran for many years.
It has also to be said that Bonfire night at Marbury was THE event of the year for us kids! We kept a bonfire burning for 4 days after November the 5th!
The water temperature of Marbury Pool on May 1st was, typically, 52 degrees! Bloody freezing! I think the warmest we ever experienced it was 74 degrees one summer! But…great great days…and a very happy childhood. We had nowt compared to kids these days – but we REALLY enjoyed what we had! Thanks again for the website!
This takes me back !! I was brought up in Marbury (born 1954) and we were one of the last families to leave in 1966. Many happy days there and THE perfect place for kids to grow up – simply wonderful. All the rest of the family still live in close proximity to Marbury , but alas, I now live in Cape Town , South Africa. I was on holiday in Cheshire last year and spent a lovely day in Marbury Country Park – so many memories.
Thanks for a wonderful website – I'm sure there are many others out there who enjoyed visiting it as much as I did.
Thanks again,
Pete Roberts
I have followed a trail back to the Park and 66 West Park where my grandparents Edward and Kathleen Sharp + family Nora and Joan.
I anyone has more on this family or knew them. It would be great to find out more.
Clifford Brian Sharp
Wonderful, I was born at 107 East Park in Marbury and I have spotted a picture with me in it. Love a copy it that were possible.
Thank you for your efforts brought a lot of joy.
Wonderful to see all the things i remember, from the gate house by the canal with its lovely rhodedendrons, the hall, the huts and the pool. We used the pool a lot when i was young, there was a sweet shop in one of the huts that we went to before riding our bikes home. I am so so pleased to see the statue in the courtyard, i thought everyone had forgotted about him! In 1968 i was inside the hall with a group of school friends, it must have been in the summer just before it was demolished the caretaker took us around, the stair case was magnificant to a youngster. I wish it had not been demolised it is such a shame.
I was 16 when I went to live at 107 East park……May I say that your photo's and print are exceptional most enjoyable to see face that I remember….plus My Mother, My auntie, My father-in-law and my baby sister JEAN SAVAGE, I have a few snaps if you would like them an E'Mail would help
Very interesting and informative, good work.
wonderful to see all the pictures takes me back .
Great piece of work, well done to everyone involved.
Very interesting.

Former King Theus will be named Kings' next coach
Updated: June 20, 2007, 11:01 AM ETBy Andy Katz | ESPN.com
New Mexico State coach Reggie Theus is going home again -- back to the NBA and back to the Kings, but this time in Sacramento, not where he starred in Kansas City.
The Sacramento Kings named Theus their next coach late Tuesday night and plan to introduce him at a news conference on Wednesday.
Theus would not confirm the figures, but sources said he will get a three-year deal worth an estimated $6 million.
Theus will replace Eric Musselman, who was fired after the Kings ...

The Bonner-Whitaker-McClendon House
The McClendon House is considered one of the last remaining Eastlake Bracketed Victorian homes in the Tyler area. The exterior colors are authentic to the home.
Judge M.H. Bonner purchased the property for his eldest daughter, Mattie and her attorney husband, Harrison Whitaker and around 1878 they built their home on this site.
Unfortunately, after five years of marriage Mattie passed away and her husband remarried. The home was then sold to Mattie's sister, Annie and her husband, Sydney McClendon.
Annie was a suffragette and her husband was active as the Democratic Chairman for Smith County, a position he held for 20 years. He owned a book and stationery store.
By 1981 only two elderly McClendon sisters were living in the home, which by then had an overgrown yard and chipped-paint exterior. Family stepped in and made plans to preserve the home and open it to the public, which was accomplished in 1988.
Our guide informed us that Sarah McClendon, noted D.C. correspondent, was born in this house.
Two historic outbuildings have been moved to the grounds, one which will be used as a wedding chapel. Admission is $5.00 per person to tour the home. The estate is currently the scene of many weddings and receptions.
It's recommended that you call for an appointment, but we just showed up due to our time limitation.Related to:

Historic CHARNWOOD
The HISTORIC DISTRICT, which encompasses Charnwood, Brick and Azalea streets, has several lovely homes listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
This district was designated a historic area in 1999. It includes 208 properties and extends for twelve blocks.
Not all of the homes are mansions--some are average size. Homes in the historic district date from the 1860's and later. I included several design styles in my selection of pictures. All are located on Charnwood Street.
As we drove through these streets, large shady trees and mature plantings accented the yards. It was such a pretty residential area!Related to:

A Glimpse Of Tyler
Tyler was named to honor President John Tyler, the 10th President of The United States (1841-45) who was born in 1790 and represented Virginia.
Tyler's town core has a few multistoried office buildings, such as the Bank of America building, Tyler's Town Center and the Courthouse -old and new sections (pictures #3-4). A pleasant enough park with water feature is located nearby (picture #2)
The surrounding area, for the most part, is comprised of two story buildings housing shops, restaurants and small businesses, with the exception of Christ Episcopal church (picture #5)
The scenic areas were beyond town center, where neatly landscaped homes highlighted Spring blooms and interesting ornamental features such as, fountains, trellis and arbors, wrought iron embellishments, bricked walkways or stone bridges. I much preferred this section of Tyler--along Azalea, Dobbs and Lindsey Streets and the Historic Charnwood District.
Tyler's suburbs had many small shopping malls, at least two movie theatres, a number of restaurants, churches, many businesses and residential developments.Related to:

Eagle's Bluff
Recently, a group of friends and I decided to take a little vacation and go to Tyler, Texas. I had never been anywhere in the state and was happy to visit.
Anyways, we spent 5 days there and it was amazing. I've always heard that private golf communities are full of snobs, but not for this Tyler Texas one. I thought the people were friendly.
Enough about the people!
We played 2 rounds of 18, and I was awful, but who cares? I really do care.
There was a pretty good-looking swimming pool, but I don't swim that often. So, no swimming for me!
We had drinks and then played tennis a few times. They looked like brand new courts. I had an excellent time doing that.
We even got to go fishing on Lake Palestine. That was definitely my favorite part about the entire experience. The lake is huge. I really loved that.
If I had to rate this vacation at the country club, I'd give it an 8.Related to:

Four Port St. Lucie AT&T employees honored with volunteer award
PORT ST. LUCIE - AT&T employees Peggy Bowman, Eric Peters, Frank Smith and Cindy Stone are the recipients of the prestigious President's Volunteer Service Award (PVSA).
The PVSA gives Presidential recognition to U.S. citizens who have demonstrated a sustained commitment to volunteer service each year.
There are three PVSA award levels: Gold for 500+ hours of volunteer service; Silver for 250-499 volunteer hours; and Bronze for 100-249.
Bowman, Peters, Smith and Stone all received the Silver PVSA.
Smith, a wireline service technician, donates his time coaching girls' softball for the local athletic association.
Bowman and Stone, both on AT&T's Construction and Engineering team, are heavily involved with the AT&T Pioneers, a network of AT&T employees and retiree volunteers.

text: Any recommendations? Doesn't have to insulate completely; it needs to repel lots of wind. Another requirement is they would fit in a single jersey pocket, or a small pocket mounted at the bottom of the seat (think Assos arm and leg warmers form factor). I have large neoprene shoe covers, but not what I'm pursuing...since cycling shoes are all made out of mesh, occasional windproof insulation can come in quite handy. I'm almost tempted to sew something together with nylon and such, geared for descending from high altitude at very fast speeds.

Thank you, Black Mountain
Dear Editor:
Thanksgiving is the season for giving thanks, and this year the wonderful citizens of Black Mountain are at the top my list.
My twin sister and I were vacationing in Ridgecrest. We decided to go shopping in Black Mountain. We found a parking place across from the Doncaster store.
My sister exited my car first and when I looked for her, she was nowhere in sight. I found her directly behind my car. She was face down on the concrete with her beautiful white coat red with blood. A nurse, getting her nails done across the street, saw her fall and was the first to respond. Directly behind her was a medical doctor.
Within minutes many of you came to our aid including two medical doctors and three nurses. Some took off their coats and wrapped them around her. Others found her glasses and the lens which had fallen out. Someone saw me looking for her and called 911. Never have I experienced such love and compassion. Thank you, dear people of Black Mountain. We sing your praises wherever we go.
My twin sister has fully recovered and has a new hairdo to cover the scar on her forehead.

Friends of the Library Benefit and Book Sale recap
Dear Editor:
The Friends of Black Mountain Library (FOBML) wanted to thank everyone that supported/attended our recent benefit hosted by Phil's BBQ and our annual book sale.
We had a great turnout at both and made a little over $2,100 from the benefit, new memberships, and book sales. We want to extend a special thank you to Phil and Jackie, the owners of Phil's, who provided wonderful food and a terrific atmosphere. Also to everyone that volunteered. The proceeds that FOBML generates through membership dues, donations, book sales, and benefits are used to purchase periodicals, additional children/adult books and cover other expenses that are not included or fully funded in their budget. We appreciate everyone's support!

Howl-O-Ween Parade was success
Dear Editor:
This year's annual Black Mountain Howl-O-Ween Parade, sponsored by Bone-A-Fide Pet Boutique in honor of previous owner Sandi Rector, was a huge success this year! Lots of people and pets showed up in the most creative costumes yet. As a judge, it gets more difficult every year to decide the winners (we want everyone to win)! I also want to thank them for allowing the animal groups to come be a part of the festivities and for collecting food and bedding for needy animals.
Folks from Full Moon Farm, Brother Wolf, and ChainFree Asheville were there representing their organizations and spreading awareness. I, and ChainFree Asheville, would like to especially thank Dawn Wilson Realty for sponsoring the Cozy Canine Project that provides warm bedding for needy animals in winter months. Can't wait until next year!

Frustrated with our country
Dear Editor:
I've started this letter four times. I finally decided to write it and see if the paper would publish it.
I'm really frustrated with the way our country is going. It is out of control and Washington is really out of control. The so-called leaders in Washington live on another planet. They have no concern for the common man.
If we don't wake up and get control of the national debt, we are going to lose the best country in the world.
The person in the White House is on a mission to transform this country. He's going to gut the military and bankrupt the United States.
Washington goes from one trauma to another. The man in the White House never knows anything going on and no one is held responsible for their actions. Lying is accepted as being alright and no one ever calls it like it is.
I'm really fearful for my country and resent anyone trying to destroy it.
Everything being done in Washington is being done on purpose because someone is out to destroy this country.
Our freedoms, our privacy, our beliefs, and our way of life is at stake.

We are stronger...
Dear Editor:
I wanted to thank the Town of Black Mountain, its businesses, restaurants, and especially its people, for the support they offered to Whitney Madden from Source for Well Being.
Source hosted a fundraiser at The White Horse in Black Mountain on Thursday, October 10. The event was a complete success! In these tough economic times, and during a period of division within our political entities, it was refreshing and exemplary, to have such complete and total support from The Town of Black Mountain for one of their own.
The event showcased musicians, artists, and restaurants, all who gave freely of their talents, to celebrate a member of the neighborhood who clearly means so much to the community at large. It was like the story of "Stone Soup" where each donated what they had, in order to make the collective better off. That level of kinship should be shared and celebrated at every opportunity. Not only did folks attend and donate money, but the gratitude of the Town for the event itself was palpable.
I hope that communities in our state watched the example of Black Mountain and understand that together we are stronger than any divisions that attempt to divide us.

This makeup remover is terrible. Despite labelling it as appropriate for sensitive skin, it is highly scented. You will smell like you squeezed a grapefruit all over your body. I do not mean a light, citrusy, whiff. Literally, people will be confused about why it smells so much like actual grapefruits yet they see no grapefruits. So if you want a scent that confuses people then go for it. Anyways, so since this scent is stronger than any of the perfumes I own it is clearly terrible for sensitive skin! I didnt use it near my eye area yet my eyes burned anyways. It says it is not neccesary to rinse, but it is definitely neccesary, unless you are fine with weird clumps of makeup sitting around your face. it didnt remove my makeup, it shoved it all together and put it in a few spots around my face and then when i reapplied makeup the makeup formed hideous orange patches on top of this makeup. I guess they meant "neccesary" in the loosest possible interpretation of the word. This also seems to make me break out....I do get break outs once in awhile so maybe its not this, but I think its so acidic it dries out my skin then breaks me out. Anyways, i think its strange that these didnt remove all the makeup despite the harsh scent. It smells more citrusy than mr clean. Also I used this over the course of multiple months at least a few times a week before making my conclusion (no idea why it took me so long to throw this out. but now that i have thrown it out at work in the garbage at my desk, people keep asking why it smells like grapefruit)

These are really terrible cleansing wipes. They dont clean very well at all and they have menthol in it which stings and makes my eyes water even though I dont even use them on my eyes (that would be a terrible mistake btw). These might be nice to use on your body in the summer, I could imagine that would feel nice. But NOT for the face. Why do some companies think its a good idea to put menthol in face products???
-cooling menthol would be nice on the BODY
-doesnt cleanse
-stings and irritates the face
-menthol, terrible for the face
I wish I didn't buy these.

I bought these cause i liked the pink grapefruit cleanser. They also made my face sting, and always left some residude. It usually didnt completely remove my eyeliner either but its better than not removing your makeup at all. It kind of makes me wish i read some of the other reviews before i bought it.

Honestly, when I first picked these up I thought these were the pink grapefruit version of the makeup wipes. That being said, these are pretty bad; they really stung my face and also they smell awful. They did feel like they were cleaning my face; but they did it with a lot of alcohol that stung of my face-particularly my eyes. Also, they smell really badly.

My co worker's family member bought this for her by accident and she gave it to me since her skin is dry and sensitive. I'm glad because I love these wipes. I read through the reviews and the rating would be a lot higher if people actually reviewed what these wipes are meant for. These are MEDICATED cleansing wipes for acne/oily prone people. They are not meant to remove makeup, especially eye makeup. Please READ the package. With that being said, I noticed how well my skin was clearing up! I love using these after workouts. The grapefruit fragrance is strong but tolerable, at least for me and the salicyclic acid helps exfoliate and brighten the complexion. I picked up an extra package.

I bought these over the past weekend when I was browsing TJ MAXX. I stopped using make up wipes a few months ago because I noticed they weren't removing the eye makeup very well. However, I decided to pick some up for when I stay out all night (and don't want to lug around my night time routine for my face) AND because I saw these were half the price than at normal drug stores.
Let me just start off by saying, when I was using make up wipes daily, I LOVED the Neutrogena (blue packaging) wipes.. but for the amount of money and how many were in the package.. ehhh. Didn't love that. Nonetheless, they removed most of my makeup pretty well.
I am not sensitive to scents. I don't mind scents, usually. But, these grapefruit (acne prone) wipes have the WORST scent. It is such an intolerable smell that I couldn't even finish off one side of my face as it began to sting. Even after washing my face a few times, the smell lingered and gave me a bit of a headache. It really had the strong scent as hair dye would. Had there not been such a strong scent, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have had an issue with these wipes.
I will not be repurchasing, everrrrrr.

SOmehow this grapefruit scent does not suit my skin completely.
It always breaks me out no matter what.
I am finding Simple makeup remover wipes, much better, as they dont have any scent and are very sensitive.
I dont have sensitive skin but grapefruit wipes are just too strong for my skin.

bought these (foolishly) without reading the packaging completely. I buy the neutrogena makeup remover wipes and saw these next to them in a value pack of 2, thinking they were just an oil-free version of the makeup remover wipes for acne-prone skin. first thing I will say -- the smell is EXTREMELY strong. way too strong; it's overpowering. you could hold the package shut 5ft away from you and still smell it. that being said, I used these twice thinking they were makeup remover before realizing the words "cleansing wipes" in huge letters (duh) and it did a great job of removing face makeup but burned my eyes (now I know why!) broke me out a little, probably just because it's a new product and I already have acne-prone skin, but I'm sure these would be handy if you're on a flight or road trip and need to wipe the gunk off your face. if you have sensitive skin or are sensitive to smells I would definitely not recommend this, but overall I think it's ok.

This product should not be used by those with sensitive skin, let me say that! On me it tingles (maybe even burns) & turns my face red. With that being said, the redness dissipates soon after & the tingling...well, I like to think of that as it doing it's job & actually working. My skin is sensitive but it can take a beating. Some say the product drys out their skin & to be honest that's what I look for. My skin gets so oily during the day my GOD you could fry a chicken cutlet off it! All in all, I absolutely adore this product & wish I could purchase it Costco size. It makes me skin incredibly clean, matte, & taut

I got these in a gift set and have used them a few times over the past couple of weeks.
The smell is pretty strong...OK, really strong but not necessarily a bad smell.
These are not makeup removing wipes ( I'd hoped they were) so I do not recommend using them to wash away eye makeup. Even using them on your face around your eyes kind of makes them burn.
These did not break me out or dry my skin terribly but I gently washed my face after using them every time.
They claim to need no rinsing but they leave a sticky film on your face that itches a little and having a residue on my skin does not make me feel clean.
I don't like the idea of just relying on a wipe to clean my face so I just don't see the point of these. I still need makeup remover AND I still need to wash my face.
Maybe these would be handy if I were flying or camping?

The songs on Suzanne Jarvie's debut album sound like they come from an experienced songwriter. They don't settle for trite sentiment or easy topics; a couple drift into the realm of the metaphysical. As it happens, they all were written by a relative newcomer to songwriting. Even with a lifelong love of music and performing, it took not one, but two life-threatening situations involving her children before Jarvie discovered a songwriting gift that she never knew she had.
Jarvie's album, Spiral Road, was released late last year to rave reviews. Her engaging vocals (somewhat reminiscent of Lucinda Williams) and thought-provoking songs found a receptive audience not only in North America but overseas as well. So where had she been? Was she banging away on the folk circuit before getting her big break? Actually, prior to this record, she could most often be found in a Toronto courtroom.
