The accommodation is located in Balaton, the largest lake in Central Europe. Its northern shore is well known for great vineyards and southern - for vibrant resorts. Siofok, Keszthely, and Balatonfüred are the major resorts which are famous for vibrant nightlife and attract the majority of tourists. Other resorts like Hévíz and Marcali are well known for thermal spas.
At the Balaton some of the beaches are grassy but many resorts have artificial sandy beaches with sun beds, playgrounds and showers. The highlights of Balaton include Keszthely - the site of the famous Baroque style Festetics castle, Balaton museum, picturesque Tihany village, Balaton national parks, Kápolnapuszta buffalo reserve, Africa museum and Safari Park with exotic animals. Moreover, sports enthusiasts will find this area a haven for water sports like windsurfing, kite surfing, surfing, as well as beach sports such as volleyball, soccer, kite buggies. Visitors who want to sample local cuisine, will be spoilt for the choice of restaurants, cafés and bars offering various seafood, particularly a pike perch or fisherman's soup which have been a top delicacy here since many years. If you want to taste a fine wine produced around the lake of Balaton, visit the "House of Balatonian Wines" in Keszthely. Especially, it is recommended to arrange visit in September or October when many harvest festivals take place, so you could not only taste the wine, but also try local food and dance with the locals.
The lake is almost completely surrounded by separated bike trails, therefore it is the best way to explore this area. But if you want to get a bird's eye view of the lake, you can have a sightseeing flight or you can have a boat sightseeing tour. Moreover, Balaton is a famous tourist destination in winter. When the lake freezes over visitors go ice-fishing, skate, ice-sail or sledge.
So if you want to have an unforgettable vacation, you can easily access Balaton by car or train. Trains from the stations Budapest Keleti and Budapest Déli run frequently to the south side of lake. Intercity trains stop at the main stations such as Siófok, Balatonföldvár and Fonyód.

Bitter Feast: Amerindians & Europeans in Northeastern North America, 1600-64 // Review
Delage, Denys, Anthropologica
Bitter Feast: Amerindians and Europeans in Northeastern North America, 1600-64 (originally Le Pays Renverse, 1985) Denys Delage Translated by Jane Brierley Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 1993. xi + 399 pp. $60.00 (cloth), $29.95 (paper) Reviewer: Virginia P. Miller Dalhousie University
Delage set a formidable task for himself in Bitter Feast: a consideration of northeastern North American economic history in colonial times, from the perspectives of both European colonizers and Natives. He accomplishes this task with an economic perspective focussing on the fur trade, first examining the internal domestic situations of the three major European powers at the beginning of the 17th century: the emerging English capitalists, whose domestic economy pitted cottage industries against large landowners; the tolerant and successful Dutch capitalists, with a thriving peasant class at home; and the French feudal society, with its poor and suffering peasant class.
Drawing heavily on accounts from the Jesuit Relations, Delage then provides similarly thorough descriptions of Iroquois and Huron groups, emphasizing their pre-contact economic practices. He then describes the developing fur trade, which was initially based on Native exchange practices, but which quickly changed as the trade was subsumed by the world economy. The eagerness of both Huron and Iroquois for the goods that the fur trade offered brought about a rapid depletion of beaver pelts in their territories by 1640, causing the Huron to carry out more intensive trade with inland tribes for pelts to offer the French, while the Iroquois intensified raiding to obtain pelts for the Dutch.
From Delage's account, we see that the Jesuit strategy for conversion not only introduced the fur trade to new groups, but Jesuit contact also resulted in the introduction of epidemics of European diseases and large-scale culture change and destruction. The Huron who survived this onslaught lived in a culture that was divided between Catholic converts, who lived according to European standards, and traditionalists, who refused Catholicism.
Delage also describes European rivalry in the New World. After 1620, England encouraged its peasants to emigrate to the mid-Atlantic and New England regions, where these energetic settlers thrived. …

Cannae 216 BC: Hannibal Smashes Rome's Army (Praeger Illustrated Military History)
The battle of Cannae is rightly regarded as one of the greatest battles of military history. Apart from it being the greatest defeat ever suffered by Roman arms, Hannibal's stratagem has become a model of the perfectly fought battle and is studied in detail at military academies around the world. Following his invasion of Italy during the Second Punic War Hannibal inflicted two bloody defeats on Rome at the River Trebbia and at the battle of Lake Trasimene, in the case of the latter destroying the consular army of Caius Flaminius. After this disaster the Romans determined to ensure both Consuls were present at any future battle. At Cannae the Romans confronted Hannibal with an army of 80,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry under both consuls who because of a quirk of Roman politics commanded on alternate days. Hannibal faced them with 40,000 foot and 10,000 horse-drawn up on a clear plain where there could be no threat of hidden troops (such as at Trasimene) effectively using his whole army as bait. The battle which followed is a masterpiece of battlefield control. Hannibal allowed his centre to give ground, drawing in the more numerous Roman infantry while his cavalry drove off that of the enemy. Having defeated their counterparts the Carthaginian cavalry returned and charged into the rear of the struggling Roman Legions. By the end of the battle the Romans lost 47,500 infantry and 2,700 cavalry killed and a further 19,300 captured. Mark Healy recounts this battle in detail as well as explaining Hannibal's campaign before it, with particular attention to his invasion of Italy.

Have you ever heard the phrase you've got to spend money to make some. Edenton is getting some cash in order to save some.
The Governor's Office announced Edenton is one of several cities getting federal and renewable energy intiatives. "North Carolina continues to use recovery funds for job creation and energy efficiency," said Governor Beverly Perdue. "These grants will provide service jobs for local businesses and help local communities save money on utility bills."
A $30,500 grant will go towards Edenton's historic town hall, to improve insulation and for new lighting. Officials say the energy efficient updates will save more than $4,500 a year.

I've changed my mind on the matter.
We should start Davis, since he is clearly the best preseason QB on our team.
But that is not going to be enough. We should bench Frank Gore for Glen Coffee. In fact, Sheets has also been better, so we should move Gore down to the third string. After Robinson's strong effort against the Raiders, maybe Gore should be fighting for a roster spot.
I've been very impressed with Marcus Hudson this preseason, and it is time we sit Nate Clements.
And, Jacob Bender was really outstanding at LT against the Cowboys, and Staley had some shaky moments. So, time to demote Staley for Bender.
And, that Miller kid. Who needs Norris? Time to dump him.
We need to make these changes, NOW.

Washington - The head of the Internal Revenue Service refused to apologize Friday for lost emails in the scandal over the improper screening of conservative groups and denied more widespread computer failures.
House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Dave Camp, R-Mich., grilled IRS Commissioner John Koskinen about why Congress wasn't informed earlier that a computer hard drive failure had compromised Lois Lerner's email records. She headed the exempt organizations division that acknowledged last year inappropriate scrutiny of tea party groups.
"I have never seen an IRS so broken," Camp said in his opening statement, adding that average Americans find it hard to believe that the never-popular tax-collecting agency can just lose records. "How far would the excuse of, 'I lost it,' get with the IRS?"
Camp asked for an apology for being kept in the dark about the hard drive failure.
"I don't think an apology is owed," snapped Koskinen, a management turnaround specialist tapped by three presidents to fix troubles in government.
At times, the contentious hearing lost all decorum.
"I don't believe you. That's your problem, no one believes you," Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., told Koskinen.
Rep. Kevin Brady, R-Texas, called the agency Koskinen leads "the most corrupt and deceitful IRS in its history."
Koskinen, sworn in two days from Christmas last year, was taken aback.
No one has ever questioned his integrity, he countered, noting the agency has a long history. That was a not-so-veiled reference to President Richard Nixon, whose misuse of the IRS against opponents became one of the articles of impeachment that forced Nixon to resign.
Republicans argue that's not far off from the unfair treatment of applications by conservative organizations for tax-exempt status. The IRS maintains the scrutiny was to ensure the groups in question were educational organizations, not political ones funneling money into campaigns.
The central focus Friday was when Koskinen knew about missing emails and when he decided to tell Congress about them. Camp and other top Republicans argue that the Treasury Department and the White House were aware of the hard drive failure in April, yet the IRS told Congress on June 13.
Koskinen tried to explain that in fact this information already had been provided to Congress, that lawmakers were told back in March that the date sequence of emails suggested something was awry.
Koskinen said he was unaware of communication between his legal department and other branches of the federal government. In any event, he insisted, it didn't affect anything the IRS was doing.
As to lost emails, Koskinen disputed the term, saying about 24,000 have been recovered from accounts to which Lerner had emailed. By the end of the month, 67,000 Lerner emails will have been provided to Congress.
"A hard drive crash does not mean the emails are lost forever," the IRS chief said.
It was Lerner, he added, who pushed her information technology department to try to recover lost emails in April 2011. The effort was eventually pushed up to the criminal division of the IRS, which has high-level forensic specialists trained in recovering lost data. They could not recover any data.
A backup tape designed to store IRS emails only does so for six months - industry practice - and the missing emails from a period between 2009 and 2011 disappeared from IRS computer servers. It wasn't clear whether the email of IRS executives is stored differently than that of the roughly 90,000 rank-and-file IRS employees.
Taking responsibility for the decision to delay the release of information to Congress, Koskinen said the delay was meant to provide more complete information to lawmakers.
"If we provide incomplete information, people sometimes tend to leap to a conclusion," he said.
Asked if he supported a special prosecutor, Koskinen said there are six government investigations now underway and a special prosecutor would be a "monumental waste of taxpayer money."

I am writing with interest to the comments regarding C-Tran and our Vancouver City Council. These are the people speaking for us and making decisions for us. My feeling is "walk a mile in our shoes." I take C-Tran to Portland daily for work. Thank goodness we have something available to us. However, along with a rate hike, they are combining some of the routes, which may mean overcrowding, etc. C-Tran makes many trips with many riders across the river daily. From what I read, not one of the big boys is a regular rider of C-Tran. Too bad you don't have to commute an hour each way to work daily. We gripe about Portland, but it's where we have to make a living.

Meet Janelle, our Styled by Sarah makeover contest winner
Janelle before
Meet Janelle: the winner of our first Styled by Sarah contest. The 34-year-old mother of three spends her days working a full-time job, going to nursing school, and participating in MN Rollergirls. When you're that busy, it's no wonder that style would be low on the priority list. However, Janelle recently lost some weight, and has moved on to a new era in her life. She describes her style as "edgy and bohemian," but admits to being too busy to focus on herself.
"I really do love the person I am now, I just need to reflect that on the outside," she said in her application.
As the first winner of our Style by Sarah series, it was time for a style boost.
The folks at Bespoke
Savanna Ruedy
For threads, we went to Cliché on Lyndale in south Minneapolis. We chose the boutique because it carries a variety of classic pieces that have a twist of creativity and edge.
Janelle tried on an assortment of flirty dresses, patterned pants, and chiffon tops. However, we knew we had our winner the moment she stepped out of the dressing room in a maxi dress by Line and Dot that had the perfect mix of sexy and summer casualness. The look was versatile enough to be dressy when paired with heels, but could also be casual with sandals.
Our next stop was to meet with the lovely ladies at Bespoke Hair Artisans. They spoiled Janelle for the day with haircut, color, brow wax, and makeup.
After getting all made up, we wanted to make sure that our winner had somewhere to go. The awesome folks at Ace VIP Limousine service treated Janelle and her three adorable kids to a trip downtown Minneapolis for a complimentary dinner at Gluek's restaurant and bar.
"Being chosen for this made me realize it's okay to take time for me and to feel amazing," She says.

Do Parents who Choose Life over Abortion Deserve Tax Break For Unborn Child
The congress has already set the table for protecting the unborn child's right to be defended against harm, with passage of the 2004 Unborn Victims of Violence Act. When President George W. Bush signed the legislation into law, it recognized:
A "child in utero" as a legal victim, if he or she is injured or killed during the commission of any of over 60 listed federal crimes of violence. The law defines "child in utero" as "a member of the species Homo sapiens, at any stage of development, who is carried in the womb."Read More »

About Me
Addicted to life.
... and wine.
To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all. (Oscar Wilde)
cultures, languages, travelling, health, environment, yoga, flea markets, trekking, adventures, hiking, theatre, gardening, alternative lifestyles, photography, writing/journalism, international relations/politics, humanitarian development, cooking (vegetarian, vegan), sports, sailing, surfing, diving, exhibitions, the 60s, fine wine, fine chocolate, bouldering, religion (but I'm an atheist), music, concerts, dancing, good books, philosophy, nature, sunshine, summer, spring, autumn, winter ..
Music, Movies, and Books
I haven't seen many films yet. But I'm constantly improving my film knowledge (especially and mainly in winter times) When I was younger I didn't really get the pleasure of watching a movie (maybe because I just knew that Hollywood crap) and I preferred reading books or living my own life instead of watching other (or not even real) people's adventures - but then I discovered the beauty of some movies and I'd be really happy if you share your favorite ones with me!
It's too bad I wasn't born a few decades ago - I adore 60's music. But if someone would like to invite me to the Austin Psych Festival, that'd be great.
One Amazing Thing I've Done
..only one? Wow, there are so many amazing things happening in life! Everyday! Embrace it! But while talking about faboulous experiences: try the pilgrimage to Santiago on the "Ruta de la Pata" (it's an alternative route to the touristy northern Camino de Santiago) and see for yourself. I also recommend to visit a Rainbow Gatherin at least once in your life. It will change you, I promise.
Teach, Learn, Share
Just imagine: if society collapses, what can you offer?
I'm more of a thinker and not an expert in anything practical, but I'm constantly trying to improve my practical skills and knowledge. Maybe you can teach me something new?
And while doing that I would love to hear about your view on life and wonderful stories!

Recently, all sorts of sensational headlines popped up about:
Semen test for prostate cancer helps diagnose early warning signs
Prostate cancer accurately identified with semen test
Prostate cancer diagnosis may be more accurate with semen test
Semen test is latest diagnostic prostate cancer tool and may be best
Whoa. Look at the phrases I highlighted. Slow down. What, precisely, has been found?
I asked one of our contributors, Dr. Richard Hoffman, who tracks prostate cancer research, to comment. He wrote:
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is not a very good cancer screening test. Most men with an elevated PSA level do not have cancer. Up to 40% of cancers detected by PSA are considered overdiagnosed–they would never cause any problems during a man's lifetime. Investigators are fervently seeking a better biomarker for prostate cancer–one that would not have so many false positives and one that could predict which cancers are potentially dangerous and need to be treated. Now investigators from the University of Adelaide report "the presence of certain molecules in seminal fluid indicates not only whether a man has prostate cancer, but also the severity of the cancer." However, the news release from the University and all of the news stories we saw are remarkably devoid of details. Although we're told that investigators evaluated microRNA in 60 men, readers are left to assess the value of these new biomarkers only through the ambiguous statement that "these microRNA were surprisingly accurate in detecting cancer." The most telling comment is that investigators are next going to validate their results in a larger patient group–implying that the test is a long way from being clinically useful.
Neither Dr. Hoffman nor I – through our respective university libraries – were able to access the full manuscript – only the abstract in the journal Endocrine-Related Cancer. And given how much of the news coverage seemed to echo and pull quotes from the University of Adelaide news release, we don't think many journalists tracked down the published work either.
In our view, it's far too early to speculate what all of those headlines above speculated.
I still haven't given up hope on someday reviewing not only health care news stories but also health care-related news releases. This may be another prime example of research news disseminated to the public via news release – not by independent journalistic vetting.

I.FLY TrapezeRead MoreEach and every rung that you climb brings a new rush of excitement and anticipation. And for good reason. What waits at the top of that ladder is a trapeze platform, but more importantly, it's a chance to flip, fly, and soar through the air like a circus performer or the most attention-starved of pet parakeets. I.FLY Trapeze's instructors guide people on just these sort of journeys, and they work with all levels—from complete beginners to seasoned flyers. Even first-timers get up in the air; during the first class, instructors can teach them to swing from their legs, let go with their hands, and catch an instructor as he or she swings from another trapeze. More and more tricks build from that moment, as long as students show up for additional sessions. Beyond these trapeze classes, I.FLY Trapeze's instructors help people hone their strength, flexibility, and dance skills in many other aerial arts, including silks and lyra hoops (a round circle that hangs from one attachment point). They even work with students to build graceful full-scale routines set to music.31486 Merrick AvenueEast Meadow, NY US
Woodmont sportsRead MoreAt Woodmont Summer Camp's fully air-conditioned facility, and on its outdoor fields, a team runs a full-day summer camp with activities for kids aged 4 to 13. Throughout the day, kids participate in a variety of activities, including basketball, swimming, and special events. They even have a video-game area where kids who need a break from running around can run around virtually. The camp also sponsors field trips and a talent show that parents can attend to see their kids shine.3728 Park AvenueWantagh, NY US
Le Play CafeRead MoreKatrina Wells was frustrated. The new mother loved spending time with her child but still longed for a place to relax and sip coffee. Family-friendly play centers had been widespread when she lived in South Florida, but they seemed entirely absent from her new home in Long Island. Undeterred, Wells took initiative and designed a business that would cater to children and their parents. Across Le Play Cafe Indoor Play Area & Coffee Lounge's 2,000 square feet, imaginations spring to life at performance stages, dress-up areas, and pretend kitchens. A climbable play structure helps little ones to develop gross motor skills, and age-appropriate toys delight toddlers. On the other side of the play center, scents of fresh roasted coffee fill the café as parents relax, socialize, and share photos of their baby dolls. In addition to cheering children and adults, Wells' brainchild also puts a smile on Mother Nature's vine-covered face. Her eco-friendly facility boasts LED lighting and oversize windows that help to reduce energy costs.2465 Merrick RoadBellmore, NY US
Long Island Adventure ParkRead MoreAt The Adventure Park at Long Island, small platforms hang at various levels among the branches and boughs, connected by bridges and ziplines. Guests navigate up into the canopy and then soar back down, experiencing fantastic speeds coupled with stunning aerial views. To ensure all visitors have ample time to enjoy their experience, course start times are staggered throughout the day. This keeps the treetop traffic at a minimum, ensuring minimal wait times and no outbursts from squirrels with road rage.75 Colonial Springs RoadWheatley Heights, NY US
The Rock ClubRead MoreA veritable mountain greets climbers inside The Rock Club, challenging them to scale its 40' high face without speaking a single word. After pulling their eyes away from the main wall, guests discover the gym's other rocky offerings, including 80 climbing stations, more than 200 individual routes, and muscle-testing bouldering cliffs. Experienced staff members with a passion for climbing roam the gym, eager to help veteran climbers reach new heights, introduce new climbers to the sport during beginners' classes, or describe the scent found at the top of the Himalayan Mountains. The Rock Club also offers lead climbing, slacklining, and movement classes as well as a kids program with a competitive climbing team, junior programs, and camps.130 Rhodes St.New Rochelle, NY US
Vertically InclinedRead MoreThe guides at Vertically Inclined maintain an intimate knowledge of the steep slopes, craggy rocks, burbling steams, and scenic wooded overlooks at each of their chosen hiking locations. They tailor their day hikes, overnight treks, and fall-foliage winery expeditions to fit the ability levels of their fellow hikers. Depending on their chosen route, treks may wind along trails through the Bear Mountain region and the Hudson Highlands, or to rugged landscapes including Fort Montgomery. During their many journeys, they keep their cameras handy to snap photos and document their hikers' victories over the terrain and in arm-wrestling matches with bald eagles. Though adventures technically begin at the trailhead, guides know that getting there is half the battle and provide round-trip transportation from the Bronx.1916 Benedict Ave, 2nd FlBronx, NY US

Samantha Stosur stretches for the ball. Photo: Screen grab: Fox Sports
When the highlights reel is compiled at the end of Samantha Stosur's career, it'll be one of the first shots included.
The Australian world No.9 says it's probably her best yet, and it couldn't have come at a better time.
Locked in a tense first-set battle with unseeded local Kristina Mladenovic in the second round of the French Open, a remarkable Hail Mary volley proved a game changer.

Coming into the net at the wrong time, Stosur found herself with nowhere to go and on the end of an unexpectedly-powerful shot from her opponent.
With no time to think and no other option she threw her racquet out and it somehow stuck, the ball catching the baseline and nearly taking Mladenovic's head off in the process.
The Court Philippe Chatrier crowd gasped, the Frenchwoman stood in disbelief and both players couldn't help but smile.Perhaps still in shock, Mladenovic double faulted on the next point to hand Stosur the first set.
The ball flies past Samantha Stosur's opponent and hits the line. Photo: Screen grab: Fox Sports
"I don't know what grip I had, or what I did really, but I'm looking forward to seeing the replay too," Stosur said.
"It's probably the best shot I've ever hit.
"It's certainly not something if I tried to do again would come off."
Samantha Stosur: "The best I've ever hit." Photo: AFP
Mladenovic concurred and she probably knew at that point it wasn't going to be her day.
She lost 6-4 6-3 in the end and was likely relieved just to have escaped the moment unscathed.
"Obviously it was not on purpose, but it was an amazing reflex," the world No.46 said.
Kristina Mladenovic: "An amazing reflex." Photo: AFP
"I think she won't do it again in her life.
"It's an unbelievable shot and all the match is like this.
"Some shots, some points very close and that made a difference for her."

Hillary Rodham Clinton [1]
Hillary Rodham Clinton is a woman of many firsts: a former First Lady, New York's first female senator, and the first woman to win 18 million votes in a presidential primary election. After completing her time as the United States Secretary of State last year, Clinton's focus now lies on an even bigger first—taking the seat in the White House as the first female U.S. president. Clinton's approach to foreign policy, women's rights, and healthcare has made her a frontrunner for candidacy in the 2016 election. Mon 8 p.m.

sensor size, CX4 v X10
A question to the clever folk out there... Am I right in thinking that the sensor in my excellent CX4 is the same 2/3" size as in the forthcoming Fuji X10?
I ask partly because the image quality I'm getting from the BSI sensor in the Ricoh is great, easily the best yet from an R/CX model, and also if the Fuji sensor is the same size, then the quality should be appealing, and the price rather high!
I would rather have liked the X10 to be a Ricoh too...

As prospects for a bill allowing charter schools dims in the Washington Legislature, some in the so-called "education reform" movement are considering compromise options or again asking the voters about it.
With a proposal to introduce charter schools into Washington still stalled in the Legislature, those seeking to shake up the state education system are considering other avenues, including again taking the issue to the ballot box, several leaders of the so-called "education reform" movement said last week.
The leaders said they prefer to work with lawmakers on a compromise that would allow for at least a handful of charters — public and free but independent schools that use unconventional techniques. But resistance from the Legislature's controlling Democratic Party has made that increasingly unlikely as the session nears its conclusion.
"Because the teachers union and (Democratic) leadership won't consider lifting Washington's ban on charter schools, there are some rumblings of an initiative," said Lisa Macfarlane, state director of Democrats for Education Reform, a political-action committee.
Macfarlane and others, especially in the business community, support charters because their unorthodox methods sometimes help poor and minority students, who struggle in normal schools.

But some note that many charters perform the same as or worse than traditional public schools. And others worry about charters' ability to hire nonunion employees or partner closely with outside organizations.
Almost all states already allow charters. But in Washington, voters have rejected them three times, in 1996, 2000 and 2004.
Supporters believe things could be different this time around.
A poll released Thursday by the Washington Policy Center, a business group that supports charters, and conducted by Moore Information, a conservative pollster, found that 60 percent of state residents support changing the law to allow for charter schools. Only 25 percent of the interviewees opposed it. The margin of error was plus or minus 5 percentage points.
But the state teachers union, which opposes charters, pointed out that the 400-person telephone poll didn't define charters or give any facts about their success rate; instead, it said only that most states allow them.
"There's no way this classic push poll accurately reflects what Washington voters think," said Rich Wood, a spokesman for the union, called the Washington Education Association.
Meanwhile, negotiations are ongoing in Olympia.
Several conservative Democrats want approval of monitored public charters to be included as part of a budget deal, but it's unclear if they have enough momentum to get there, especially because liberals already have conceded on a bill mandating stricter teacher-evaluation systems.
Recently, some have floated a compromise centered on a small, controlled number of charters as pilots.
Regardless, members of the movement seeking changes say it's time for action.
"Those serious about moving the issue forward should put all the game pieces on the board and look at the best way to succeed for the long run," said Chris Korsmo, CEO of the League of Education Voters.

Very good, thanks! Next time I'll use a bit more applesauce and a bit less margarine and add walnuts.
Great. I'm not vegan so I used regular butter and milk. I needed a recipe using turbinado sugar since thats all we had in the house.
I just made these. I used all vegetable shortening instead of the vegan margarine. I thought the cookies came out a bit flat, but the taste was good. I may need to fiddle with this recipe to get it just to my liking.
wow these where awesome. my daughter is allergic to eggs and dairy so finding things for her is a challenge. so far every vegan recipe has had a different texture or just tasted completely different than you would expect. however these where so moist and tasted just like the non vegan recipe i always use. Everyone in the house ate them without realizing they where vegan hehe. I did use the white/brown sugar mix and followed the recipe exactly. plus it made a TON of cookies. thnx so much for sharing this :)
Oh, my goodness! These were absolutely DELICIOUS! (My older brother, who is non-vegan and hates soymilk, tried them and loved them. But once I told him that they had some in them, he freaked out... =P) Rather than using the turbinado sugar, i used the alternative you gave --white and brown sugars mixed together (which was great because we weren't sure where to find turbinado!) Before I made these, I was worried that the variations that I used for each ingredient might make the cookies taste strange, so here is each of the variations I used: For the brown sugar, I used DARK brown. I used vanilla-flavoured Silk for the soymilk. WHITE flour. I also made a few of them with chopped walnuts, which were even better because they had a nice texture, and they added a little bit more protein. ;-)
Amazing cookies. I will be making these again and again. I added walnuts and used 1 cup reg sugar and 1 cup brown. Husband couldn't stop eating them. Thank you so much
Great cookie.. tasted just like my mom's non-vegan version.
This recipe has quickly become one of my all-time favorites. I've made them twice and both batches turned out great. The first time I added about 1/2 cup of finely chopped walnuts, and the second time I used 3/4 cup each raisins and vegan chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup walnuts. I did a taste test with meat eaters and they could not tell they were vegan. Very yummy cookies! One note: this recipe makes a lot more than 36 cookies, at least the way I make them. It's possibly double that amount.
Best oatmeal cookies I've ever had - vegan or not. I substituted vegan chocolate chips to feed my chocolate craving and they turned out great!
Fantastic recipe with ingredients that I have all the time! Taste so good no one will ever know they are vegan except for me! Thanks for posting!

LONDON, Oct 31 (Reuters) - Two founders of bwin.partydigital entertainment, who are divorcing, have agreedto sell their stakes in the online gaming group if it issuccessful in winning a licence in New Jersey, the third U.S.state to allow online gambling.
James Russell DeLeon and Ruth Parasol DeLeon will put theirstakes of 7.16 percent each into a trust to be sold over thenext three years under an agreement with New Jersey's Divisionof Gaming Enforcement (DGE), the company said on Thursday.
Under state legislation, substantial shareholders in gaminggroups also have to submit individual licence applications,something that the DeLeons did not want to do for reasons ofprivacy, bwin.party said.
Analysts at Numis said the agreement indicated that it wasmore likely that bwin.party would be eligible to startoperations in New Jersey next month.
"It seems unlikely to us that it would have been executed sonear to the start of online gambling in New Jersey if bwin.partywere not likely to get permission to participate," they said.
Bwin.party applied in July for a licence in New Jersey, thethird state after Nevada and Delaware to legalise onlinegambling.
The industry sees New Jersey as the most lucrative casinomarket based on size and the fact its law encompasses many formsof gambling, while Nevada's regulations only allows onlinepoker.
Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa, owned by Boyd Gaming Corp's and MGM Resorts, said it received the firstInternet gaming permit ever in New Jersey from the state'sDivision of Gaming Enforcement earlier this month.
Borgata is partnering bwin.party in its online gamblingoffering.

Newly re-signed Roosters star Chris Flannery says a massive weight has been lifted off his shoulders ? after the popular back-rower inked a new three-year deal yesterday with the club he joined as a fresh faced Queensland junior.
The 25-year-old became the second high profile Roosters star to extend their contract this year, after inspirational halfback Brett Finch committed to the club until the end of 2007 last month.
Currently in camp with Queensland, Flannery says the decision to stay was a ?massive relief?.
?As much as you try and put it away, it plays on the back of your mind a little bit,? he said.
?It means I can now just focus completely on the Roosters and trying to get us another premiership.
?The club has a great future, I?ve had a great time since coming here and I know that will continue.?
Flannery?s announcement was greeted with smiles all round at Roosters training this morning.
?It?s top news ? we knew he had a few other clubs chasing him, so it?s a big boost for the club to get him on deck for the next few years,? halfback Brett Finch said.
?The guy can play anywhere ? who wouldn?t want a player that has played just about every position except front-row?
?He?s been a bit of a Mr Fix-it for us, but with ?Ricko? retiring I think he?ll have a good crack at cementing the number 13 jumper next year.
?It?s a tough time of the year for every club ? we?ve obviously lost a couple of guys this week ? so this has given everyone a lift.?
Powerhouse prop Ben Hannant said: ?Personally, I?ve been able to learn a lot of ?Flanno?.
?We both came to the club as young guys from the Gold Coast, so it?s been great to have him as a role model.
?He?s very professional and a tough bugger, so it?s great news for the whole joint.?

War Funds Include Drug Interdiction
Byline: Jerry Seper, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration gets $9.2 million to combat Afghan drug warlords and the Colombian navy receives $13 million to buy drug-interdiction aircraft as part of the $94.5 billion House-passed emergency spending bill for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Our defense funds in the global war on terrorism are finally reflecting the post-Cold War reality that illicit drugs are now a major means of support for nearly half the foreign terrorist organizations," said Rep. Henry J. Hyde, Illinois Republican and chairman of the House International Relations Committee.
"The passage of the war supplement gives our DEA and our good friends in the Colombian navy additional tools to break these ties between narcotics and terrorist organizations," Mr. Hyde said.
The emergency spending bill, which passed Tuesday on a 351-67 vote, provides $65.8 billion for the war efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan and $19.8 billion for Gulf Coast hurricane recovery. Avian flu preparedness efforts receive $2.3 billion, and border security receives $1.9 billion.
The Senate is expected to pass the measure today and send it to President Bush.
The additional $9.2 million for the DEA will allow the agency to continue to disrupt drug operations in Afghanistan, especially those that use the drug trade to finance terrorist organizations and attacks on coalition forces, Mr. …

You thought Argos and Tesco's supermarket tablet offerings were cheap, well check this out.
Aldi are offering one for under £80.
It doesn't look too shabby either. It's got a quad-core 1.6GHz processor, runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean and a 7 inch 1024x600 resolution screen.
You get front and back cameras - 0.3MP and 2.0MP respectively - and a few apps including Kaspersky Tablet Security.
There's minimal hype in the ad and it's certainly lacking a catchy name but if it lives up to its billing that's not bad at all for £79.99.
It goes on sale on Sunday 8th December but if you want one you'll have to hurry as stocks are limited.
The new iPad Air 2 from Apple is an incredible new upgrade to the tablet you know and love. It's far lighter and thinner, has an upgraded processor, and in our review we called it nothing short of a "masterpiece". If you have more than £399 to spend on a tablet, spend it on this.
The Surface Pro 3 is an entirely new type of tablet from Microsoft. Designed as a rival to both the Apple iPad Air and the MacBook Air this stunningly thin tablet hybrid will sport a huge new 12-inch display and will run the latest version of Windows 8.1. The only tablet to come running Intel's hugely powerful i7 processor the Surface Pro 3 is all about power and creation with a new smart pen letting you use the screen as a virtual notepad or canvas.
The Z3 Tablet Compact is Sony's somewhat delayed reaction to the success of the iPad Mini. The Z3 Compact is an astonishing 6.4mm thin. It's waterproof -- like its smartphone counterparts -- and it comes with the same Full-HD display. With a massive 4,500mAh battery as well Sony's hoping that the premium features and impressive build-quality will dissuade you from buying with Apple.
The Tab S 8.4 and 10.5 are Samsung's first real attempt at beating the iPad Aid and the iPad Mini Retina. With incredible 2560 x 1600 Super AMOLED displays these tablets definitely trump Apple's efforts in terms of resolution. They also both include fingerprint sensors, a feature yet to appear on Apple's tablets. Yes they'll feature the same design as the Galaxy S5 but whilst some may dislike that plastic body it keeps the Tab S ultra-light whilst retaining strength.
Tesco's Hudl 2 tablet improves on its predecessor in every way, it has a larger, higher-resolution screen, dual-speakers and a faster processor. It's also a really great option for those who want a no-fuss Android experience.
The new Nexus 7 has a higher resolution display (at 323 pixels per inch), a quad-core Snapdragon S4 processor and a thinner bezel on both sides of the screen. It's also the first device to run the new version of Android, 4.3 Jelly Bean, and a 5-megapixel screen at the same bargain-basement price.
At £319, the iPad Mini with Retina display isn't cheap. Also its only major upgrade on the last model is the addition of a Touch ID sensor. It's a decision that has raised eyebrows but as you'll soon realise, when a tablet is this good, sometimes it's more about what you don't do that matters.
The new Kindle Fire HDX tablet comes in both a 7- and 8.9 inch version, and both are tasty upgrades. The 7-inch has a 1920 x 1200 display, a quad-core processor, LTE, all the Amazon services you'd expect plus a new 'Mayday' support service for new users. It starts at £199. The 8.9-inch is pricer at £329, but has an even more impressive 2560x1600 display - and still comes in lighter than an iPad Air.
The Google Nexus 9 has an excellent display and comes running Android 5.0 Lollipop. It's thin, powerful (thanks to a 64-bit processor) and sports HTC's BoomSound speakers making it a multimedia powerhouse.

New Delhi, Aug 26 (IANS) After the fashion industry, designer Rohit Bal has entered the world of beauty products through a collaboration with international cosmetics brand Lancome for their bridal makeup range.
Known as 'The Lotus Collection', the range is meant to suit Indian skin types.
'Generally most of us have this notion about Lancome that it is an international cosmetics brand and caters mainly to Europeans' skin type. But this product range is different because it is specially meant for Indian skin tone,' Rohit Bal told IANS at the launch of second Lancome boutique at the Promenade in DLF Emporio mall here Wednesday.
'The idea is to enhance the beauty of the bride and make her look elegant. A bride always needs pampering and a luxurious beauty ritual to prepare for her big day,' he added.
Celebrating the association, Lancome's director Dinesh Dayal said: 'Rohit was the natural choice for us. The couturier's creative genius, combined with our understanding of beauty, led to the creation of this fine collection.'
Available in a beautiful vanity case, the collection is handpicked by Bal, keeping in mind the smallest of details to make a bride look and feel gorgeous.
The collection is available in two variants -- the silver set with 12 cosmetics products priced at Rs.15,000 while the gold set has 21 cosmetics products priced at Rs.25,000.

8000 miles in a 1970's Volvo 144 - Malaria No More

Every Journey should have a purpose.This 8000 miles journey from London to Cape Town has a few.
If you gave a penny for every 10 miles Rob and Richard cover, Its just £8, add a bit extra to round it up to £10 and we have just brought 2 mosquito nets, those nets will not only save the life of the child or children under them but also those who sleep close by are protected. The more money : The more nets.
Rob and Emma lived in Luanda, Angola in 1998/9: it was an amazing place to live, known as the "Paris of Africa" in the 70's. The now bullet riddled buildings have Chanel and other famous logos on them. People washed in the pot holes in the road, street children ran everywhere and every street corner was occupied by the victims of the war and landmines.
Despite adversity the town was friendly and lively.
Amy, aged one, came down with a raging fever one day and would not wake up. Emma wasn't allowed to drive, so Rob had to leave work and take us to the local hospital. The nurses took one look at her and rushed us both into a freezing shower.
A pill quickly brought her temperature down, but the blood test confirmed she had malaria.
It is common enough illness to all who live in Africa, but we had been so careful about repellent and keeping her covered up from dusk to dawn, I had never seen a bite but still she had malaria
We were given 3 pills, one pill to be taken every 12hrs.
A few days later she was her normally bouncy self, and it has not reoccurred, many thousands are not so lucky.
A few facts from the World Health Organization
The smells, the sounds, the heat, they get into your system and we have a longing to go back. So much so that we sat in a restaurant in Covent Garden one evening and drew a map of Africa and decided that one day we would drive to Cape Town via Luanda ( it may have had something to do wit the empty jug of Margareta sitting on the table), but that map still sits in my purse as a reminder of a journey we will one day do.
Rallying Old Volvos
Volvos are our passion and our life so when Richard Atherton suggested taking part in the London Cape Town Rally run by the Endurance Rally Association, Rob's reply was "it'll have to be a Volvo" . I'm letting him go so that he can recce my route for when he and I go together, and somebody has to stay behind and run the business and look after the children and dogs.
To see how we turn an old Volvo into a car ready to take on the whole of Africa please visit our website : www.amazoncars.co.uk
Richard and Africa:
Richard also lived in Africa betweem 1982 and '83, working as an agronomist on a Commonwealth Development Corporation irrigation scheme in northern Swaziland: this was one of the most interesting and energising periods of my life. The friendliness of the Swazi people and the contrasts of this beautiful little country, from the majestic veldt to the north to the green mountains and valleys in the south, live with me to this day.
Living in Swaziland, I also had the opportunity to travel around the south of this vast continent - including South Africa, Mozambique and Kenya - giving me a small insight into the day-to-day lives of the ordinary people there and, more pertinently, their constant battle with Malaria. I had almost daily, first-hand experience of dealing with this parasite's effects amongst the local people who worked with me and, eventually, fell prey to it myself. I therefore have a very personal reason for making this journey and supporting 'Malaria No More'!
Our Choice of Charity
As the WHO say "It is preventable and curable." Amy, now 12, is our daily reminder of that, and prevention and cure is really quite simple
Malaria No More UK is a not-for-profit organization, committed to ending unnecessary death caused by malaria.
The costs of running the charity are covered by grants so all our donations purchase anti-malarial goods.
"Malaria No More" aims to:
It has never been easier to prevent malaria – £5 will buy and deliver a bed net to cover a mother and baby, or two children, for up to five years.
Donating through Just Giving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with Just Giving – they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it's the most efficient way to donate - so we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate.....
and Thank You
Emma, Rob & Richard

You've had pizzas, you've had chicken schnitzels... you've had more forgettable meals than Makybe Diva's won dollars on the Melbourne Cup. So if you're looking for something a little more memorable, you need to get involved in today's deal from Red Ox Steakhouse. Because for just $79, you'll get a delectable dinner for two including two entrees, two mains and a bottle of either Hugo Chardonnay or Don Camillo Sangiovese Merlot (normally $191). Choose from a range of delights including oysters, scallops, Morton Bay bugs, linguini, duck breast and eye fillet (excludes the Red Ox Plate for Two). The menu is as long as it is distinguished. So if you're so hungry you could eat a horse... you know what to do.
