Skinny Fiber Ingredients & How It WorksSkinny Fiber ingredients are a natural combination of a proprietary blend of Glucomannan, Caralluma Fimbriata, Chá de Bugre and Digestive Enzymes. All work together to help you eat less, feel full, detox, block fat, increase metabolism and energy, as well as absorb nutrients in the foods you eat:
Glucomannan (Nature's Skinny Sponge)
Glucomannan Powder (Konjac Root) - Water Soluble Fiber - Appetite Suppressant
Glucomannan is a natural dietary fiber (water soluble) that can help suppress your appetite and reduce food cravings. You may have heard about Glucomannan on the Dr Oz show as one of the supplements he recommends to help control hunger and refers to as "nature's skinny sponge" because it absorbs water. Since overeating is one of the major reasons for weight gain, it is a valuable ingredient in the Skinny Fiber pills. Glucomannan comes from the dried corm (root) of the amorphophallus konjac plant grown in Japan as 蒟蒻/菎蒻 / こんにゃく, China as 蒟蒻, Korea as 곤약 and India as Konjac. It is a natural "food additive used as an emulsifier and thickener" (Wikipedia). Possible health benefits include weight loss as well as to help improve improve cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, blood sugar control and constipation. You should drink at least 8 ounces of water when taking your Skinny Fiber pills with Glucomannan. In fact, you should drink plenty of water in generals. The advantage of Glucomannan to the dieter is if you have cravings and / or feel hungry between meals, just drink a glass of water. It helps Skinny Fiber to swells up a little bit in the stomach and helps stop the desire to eat.
Caralluma Fimbriata
Naturally Controls Hunger & Increases Stamina - Used for 100s of years!
The Caralluma Powder in Skinny Fiber comes from the Caralluma Fimbriata plant. It has been eaten as a vegetable and natural appetite suppressant in India for hundreds of years. "It has been used as a portable food and thirst quencher for hunting. It is also used for its purported ability to suppress hunger and appetite and enhance stamina. It is believed to have an effect on the appetite control center of the brain. Tribesmen on a day's hunt will often only pack some Caralluma fimbriata to sustain themselves and hence it is commonly known as "famine food" in India." (Wikipedia) Caralluma Fimbriata also helps stop the formation of fat. I have read this cactus is both a soluble fiber and insoluble fiber. More information posted as I find it.
Chá de Bugre
Popular Brazilian Plant for Appetite Control, Metabolism Increase, Disease
Chá de Bugre has an interesting history and role in Brazil. It is a plants that produces berries that they brew similarly to coffee, though it is more like a green tea to the body. NOT HARMFUL and DOES NOT have the side effect of caffeine. Chá de Bugre is used for weight loss and to support healthy metabolism. "Cha de bugre is also used to treat cellulite, cough, fluid retention (edema), gout, cancer, herpes, viral infections, fever, and diseases of the heart and blood vessels. It is also used as a general tonic to improve blood circulation and heart function. Some people apply cha de bugre directly to the skin for wound healing." (WebMD.com) It is a natural anti-inflammatory as well.
Protein Enzyme Blend / Digestive Enzymes
Skinny Fiber also has an Enzyme Blend that consists of Amylase Powder, Protease Powder, Lipase Powder, Glucoamylase Powder, Papain Powder, Cellulase Powder, Bromelain Powder
- Amylase Enzyme breaks down carbohydrates into energy.
- Protease Enzyme helps with the digestion of proteins.

About the Dartmouth College Fund
Your annual gift through the Dartmouth College Fund sustains an experience that transforms students into people who can transform the world.
In 2012, gifts through the Fund helped Dartmouth provide need-based scholarships to over 54 percent of its undergraduates, including more than 11 percent who are the first in their families to attend college.
Fund gifts have also helped Dartmouth increase the number of faculty by 18 percent in the past 10 years—one reason U.S. News & World Report ranks Dartmouth #1 for "Best Undergraduate Teaching."
Intense classes with faculty mentors. Life-long friendships. A College steeped in tradition—building better futures since 1769. That's what the Dartmouth College Fund is all about.
Learn more about the impact of your gifts»
Why annual gifts?
Tuition covers only 43 percent of the total cost of the student experience. Dartmouth relies on gifts from alumni—primarily through the Dartmouth College Fund—to make up the difference. In 2012, unrestricted gifts made up 8 percent of Dartmouth's annual budget.
Annual, unrestricted gifts through the Dartmouth College Fund—of any size—are spent entirely in the year they are received. Unlike the endowment, annual funds give Dartmouth the flexibility to respond to urgent needs. Endowed funds are invested for the future and the majority are donor-restricted to specific uses. The College spends five percent of the interest earned from the endowment each year.
Other types of gifts
Friends groups also raise restricted funds for specific areas within Dartmouth, from athletic teams to the Rockefeller Center, above and beyond the College's budget. Class dues raised by individual classes support class activities such as mini-reunions, but don't directly support the College.

Elizabeth & The Catapult is that band you don't realize you know. You've heard their songs in commercials for Google and Amazon, especially "Taller Children," the title track from their eponymous debut LP. Elizabeth Ziman's perfectionism and musicality made the debut album a breath of fresh air. Looking back at that time, she might have done things differently, but she has not regrets. Now with the release of Like It Never Happened, Ziman is looser, wiser, but still has her sense of humor. Ahead of their show at Jammin' Java on Saturday, the multi-instrumentalist talked about busking, her solo record, Broadway, her chance encounter with Ryan Gosling, what she really thought of American Hustle, and more.
FO: There was a bit of confusion, you were Elizabeth and the Catapult, but now you are solo but under the same name?
EZ: No, the guys I was working with, Danny and Pete, are in the band Lucius now, but I have been playing with other friends of mine that I have been playing with for awhile. And actually this album It Never Happened, is not a solo record. I recorded it with Danny and Pete from Lucius, and Danny produced it. I actually just recorded an album about three weeks ago on a very inspired night in the studio over the course of four hours that's a solo record, that will be out later this year.
FO: Four hours, how many tracks are on it?
EZ: I recorded 8 tracks, they were all kind of throw away songs from this last album. But as I was playing them, I realized that I do actually quite enjoy them. There's some good little nuggets in there. I'm going to have my friend Rob Lews, who did strings on the last couple albums, arrange it. And go back in and finish it up in the next month. There's a lot of music coming out.
FO: So is it going to sound a lot like Like It Never Happened, or is it going to sound like an official solo record?
EZ: It's me at a piano and they're all live takes. It was recorded very fast and furiously, so it will definitely have a different sound. Cause it's not produced, it's really just recorded. It's me and it's my music,[laughs] so there will me some similarities.
FO: Sometimes when I hear you, I think of Sara Bareilles, and I know you went on tour with her. What is similar about your voices is that you can hear different genres, a little bit of R&B, pop, jazz, folk. Have you ever thought of doing something different than you're known for? Even perhaps Broadway?
EZ: That's so funny that you ask this [laughs] cause my father was an actor for a couple of years, a couple of short years in his twenties. He was on Mork and Mindy, All In The Family, all this cool stuff. And he has been trying to get me to do it. I know a lot of Gershwin from listening to a lot of jazz standards, but I never listened to musicals growing up. And I just watched the Marvin Hamlisch story [laughs] with my dad on PBS like yesterday. It was so funny, he kept relating ever thing back to Marvin; "Marvin, such a great guy." He kept trying to get me inspired by Marvin, and I think he's wonderful, but I don't know a lot of his work. But I do think that there's a lot of fun behind not taking yourself too seriously. And humor obviously, like some of it in lyrics is fun to play around with. I think people with humor in their lyrics are often compared to people who right musicals. Like some of my old stuff, like "Perfectly Perfect." Or there is a song off of my latest record, "Poison," which has that tongue in cheek, playful, vaudevillian quality to it. I take it as a compliment.
FO: You should. Which brings me to your Ryan Gosling video.
EZ: Oh my gosh, I love your questions [laughs]. This is what's important people. I was basically in the studio, and there was a camera crew there a couple months ago because I was just supposed to play a couple songs with my band and film for my website. And while we were testing the mics, I had literally just been across the street at this cute little vintage shop in that had all these Ryan Gosling coloring books.
FO: What?
EZ: Ryan Gosling books with all the feminist quotes. And whoever owned this shop is obsessed with him, and I thought it was so funny, and I had this ridiculous experience with Ryan Gosling a couple years ago, that I just started literally improvising just to test the mics, and the cameras were on and I improvised the whole song. I listened back to it [laughs] and said is this not the best song I've ever written. Is this not pure gold right here. So we made this ridiculous video and I think it's only got like forty hits, I'm so confused cause I truly have great hopes for this song.
FO: I can't believe it's not bigger than it is.
EZ: We need to get it on one of those comedy sites, or get Reggie on it. Reggie Watts was on my album but he did not sing on that song clearly.
FO: So that actually happened, he actually told you to call him?
EZ: I swear to you. First of all, I think he was method acting, cause he was talking to me in this very strange dialect that is not the same as his Jersey accent from all of his stuff. I think he was just trying to, I'm not trying to put him down, but I think that he wasn't, that maybe when he's talking to random fans on the street maybe he has a little bit of a front. [laughs] I'm not even sure that was his real number.
FO: So you haven't tried calling it at all?
EZ: Oh my gosh, no.
FO: I know a lot of people who would have called immediately.
EZ: I know. I was such a coward
FO: Speaking of New York, you were busking a lot. How does that compare to just playing in tiny bars? And would you recommend it to artists?
EZ: I love busking and I was actually thinking of moving away from New York at some point which would have been very silly. My rent was hiked up and I was thinking about leaving, and then I realized that I couldn't busk anymore if I left the city. It's such an integral part of what I do and my day to day. I think it's something about the acoustics, and now I guess it's just formed into a habit. I think I really started cause it's like a church down there the reverb is incredible. And I don't busk in a very busy area, it's not like I'm busking in Union Square. I'm busking really out of the way in Brooklyn. It kind of feels like my own little reverb chamber studio, and it forced me to pick up the guitar and really shred. [laughs]Not really shred I would say, my shredding, shredding on an acoustic guitar would sound horrible. It forced me to really practice and actually learn the instrument. So I'm grateful for my time down there
FO: Did it sound like you were taking lessons down there or were you just playing?
EZ: I wish, I still haven't taken lesson. I took one lesson with this guy Michael Daves, who's an incredible blue grass player, who had an album with Chris Thile, and I loved it so much. But I think I was really intimidated by him, cause when I actually took the lesson I didn't practice as much as when I was just teaching myself. I think it's just, I was just down there learning as much Gillian Welch, Lou Reed, Tom Waits, as many covers as possible, Bonnie Rait. I think as a songwriter, the only advice that I ever give people, other than try to connect to your fans as much as possible and try to create things that you standby obviously, share as much as you can. Other than that, I just say you should learn as many covers as you possible can, because the better you are at your instrument and the more influences you have, the better learner you are going to become. I stand by that.
FO: If your students wanted to go down and try something like that, do you actually recommend it to them or would you prefer that they stick to traditional methods?
EZ: Yeah, I think it's great. I think if you have the balls to do it, do it. [laughs] You are performing for people even if they don't care to listen to you. There are going to be people who are really excited. Once in a while one of my fans will discover me down there [laughs] and be really really confused. And just siked to be there. I think that my mother thought it was kind of strange when she first heard that I was doing it, because she thinks that it looks bad or something about appearances. But I'm not really interested in any of that and it serves a very specific purpose for me. I would always recommend playing out all the time and learning as much music as you can.
FO: Interesting that you said that about your mother cause I was going to ask you about if you got any negative backlash from it. Because you are maybe more established then some other people down there.
EZ: Right. Well I'm not really asking for money. Cause I'm playing in an area where there aren't a lot of people and I'm not getting a lot of money. I think that if Yo Yo Ma played in the subway, other than the traffic that it would cause when he appeared, I think it would be really really cool. I don't think it should be based on class or success level. I don't think it has anything to do with any of that. I think it has to do with are you present, are you excited to play, and do you have the time, and does it serve some purpose for you. I know people who are incredible street musicians who have never come above ground because of some feeling they have about it. I was talking to this guy the other day, he must be in his 50s maybe 60s, he's a gospel singer and he plays with his keyboard at West 4th street, and I was having a conversation with him because he obviously could play in some of the best rooms in New York and do a great job. He's so so talented. He said "there's some calling for me down here. I don't want to play for anyone else. I'm playing for myself and the public, and I don't want to be branded in anyway. And if I'm comfortable and enjoy it down here than that's what I'm supposed to be doing." I would maybe beg to differ that I think he could have success up there and he could maybe make a little more money. And I don't think it's selling out playing in a club, but some people are really hard core down there. It's like self-fulfilled prophecy kind of thing, it's really interesting.
FO: That makes me think of the DIY way the music industry is going to. Artists doing everything for themselves. Is that something that you think is going to be more popular or will people go back to the industry?
EZ: I think that there is no way if music is basically free now, most people are getting their music off of Spotify. I had a conversation with someone the other day, have you heard All Things Must Pass, that really famous Beatles record, have you checked it out? They were like no. and I was like well it's on iTunes. And they were like, well I listen to everything on Spotify. Which I didn't think about. It's happening very rapidly and I don't think it's that extreme for everyone, but a lot of people are just using Spotify. And if that's happening, other than playing shows, there is no possible way you can keep people excited, keep people in the loop, and other than just creating content on line and having some kind of presence, I don't think you can really fight the wave, at least for another ten, twenty years. I hope that record companies will somehow make more money at some point and there will always be the big artist that are reaping money in for everyone. But I think I highly doubt that this trend is going to go away. People are going to need to rethink how they are pushing their music and how they are connecting to their fans and their sharing.
FO: That makes me think of Beyoncé and her whole surprise album success.
EZ: Totally. That was so cool. And to have someone at that level, that's that big who can just give that much content and on the whim just release an album. I mean some of my friends were pissed, "she just comes out with an album whenever she wants." I was thinking this is so cool, how many people had to keep that a secret, all the video crew, she had like hundreds of people that knew about this and didn't say a word. and then this album came out and I've been watching those videos everyday laughs. I feel like it's just the holidays of Beyoncé. Every day I can watch a new video. She gave us twelve videos right.
FO: I think it was seventeen.
EZ: So cool, so cool
FO: If someone who wasn't Beyoncé tried that maybe it wouldn't have been so successful. So it's not like a model that people can follow. The fact that she was able to do it, is kind of exciting for the industry in general.
EZ: I think it's fantastic. I just wrapped a music video. one of my friends shot it. Someone in my band, who sings with me in my band, and plays like every instrument. She edited my video, she's like a jack of every trade. So we just finished this video and I already have another one that my friend is illustrating and I'm trying to come up with another idea for a video. There's all these lyric videos, I just read about it, I don't really know much about that. I guess they are popular now. So I'm talking to someone now about putting a cool background for that kind of stuff so we can put that out pretty soon. People are too over stimulated, they are bored too quickly to just have, especially on an indie album to just, oh I'm going to come out with an album every couple of years. That would be cool if that was enough, but at the same time when I post a video ever couple of days of me singing at my piano, or whatever cover I'm working on or whatever new song I'm working on, I think that makes me a better musician. That makes me a better performer, that makes me more motivated. I think it's better for everyone.
FO: It's exactly like you said. If something doesn't go viral it almost doesn't matter to people.
EZ : I remember with my first album, [laughs] god bless all who worked on that with me. I was such an over achiever. I think that some of the tracks, I stand by the songs, it was my first album my first work. I'm proud of it, but I know that I was over producing and over thinking a lot of things. Every picture had to be perfect and all the art work, and it was just so much tinkering with stuff that can be better in its raw state. I think I've learned a lot since that. And just try to put a lot more content out there hopefully, without a lack in quality.
FO: This is a hard question to answer. When do you, if you are not a perfectionist, when do you know when you are done when making music or any art?
EZ : When do I know when I'm done, that's a good question. I think it really helps to have people who you trust and that you believe in, that you are working with, and that can tell you to shut up when you need to shut up. I think otherwise it's kind of a feeling you know, there's like that indescribable feeling that you've made something worthy, or that something is connecting. There's something in this that I've seemed to say what I wanted to say, and I think that if I wasn't a musician, I think all those years of when I started doing this, especially with my film scoring work, I think I would be an amazing editor [laughs]. My dad is actually a script doctor, but I feel like I'm really good at knocking things out and keeping what matters. I love over editing [laughs], so I think I would be an editor of some sort, and I think now that I've finally learned in the last couple of years and with this record, I made it really fast, this most recent record I think took six weeks in total with everyone to finish, I'm getting a lot better at just coming in and knowing what I want to say. And really celebrating the mistakes and the happy accidents. I'm just king of embracing all of it, you are kind of embracing a moment in time. So while you can believe in that and a lot of people say that, but to actually do it takes a lot of playing practice performing.
FO: Editing is one of the more important things in art, music, writing, anything.
EZ: Yes. I just saw American Hustle, I do not thing that movie was edited correctly. Everyone else seems to love it. I think it was a rush job. I think the costuming was great, the actors were great, the writing, they had some really good lines, it just wasn't edited. [laughs] I think something happened where they were like we had all this amazing stuff now we have to get it done in two minutes, or something happened, cause it was so long. It was like two and a half hours, my friend Lauren actually fell asleep in the movie. [laughs] I couldn't even discuss it with anyone after. Most people loved that thing. I wrote about it on Facebook and people were outraged that I didn't get it. People loved it. I thought it had its moments.
Like It Never Happened is out now on iTunes and Amazon. Catch Elizabeth & The Catapult at Jammin' Java, Saturday January 25, at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12.

It comes as welcome news that the United States Department of Transportation Inspector General is concerned about the integrity of high-speed rail projections, "including ridership, costs, revenues and associated public benefits."

Las Vegas: The Boom - Bust Bender
It's delightfully easy to blast Las Vegas… or simply to make fun of it. It is the world capital of shamelessness, so it is more or less beside the point to criticize. Yet with the debut of the colossal $8.5 billion CityCenter, Vegas makes pretension to "sustainable urbanism." Even by Vegas standards of hype, this is mendacity at a colossal scale. read more »
High Tech Won't Save California's Economy
Much has been made of California's struggles, but some still say California's best days are ahead of it. In this calculus, innovation in high tech, biotech, green tech, clean tech, any tech will ultimately pull the state out of its current funk and to even greater success tomorrow. Promoters of this view cite an impressive roster of statistics around venture capital, patents, new business formation, etc., along with obligatory anecdotes of ambitious new startups with world changing products (coming soon) and their slick, dynamic founders. read more »
Move the United Nations to Dubai
The opening last week of the world's tallest building, the half-mile-high Burj Dubai, has largely been greeted with guffaws and groans. The Daily Telegraph labeled it "the new pinnacle of vanity"--"a purposeless monument to the subprime era." The Wall Street Journal compared it to the Tower of Babel. (When the Empire State Building was completed in 1931, in the throes of the greatest financial crisis of the 20th century, it was met with similar jeers. The then-tallest building in the world was called the Empty State Building, and it remained vacant for several years.)
Yet the Burj's completion--indeed the whole wild enterprise known as Dubai--could signal a potential opportunity to the global community: turning the place into the headquarters for that other misguided ship, the United Nations. read more »
Beyond Neo-Victorianism: A Call for Design Diversity

Investment in commercial development may be in long hibernation, but eventually the pause will create a pent-up demand. When investment returns, intelligent growth must be informed by practical, organic, time-tested models that work. Here's one candidate for examination proposed as an alternative to the current model being toyed with by planners and developers nationwide. read more »

China's Heartland Capital: Chengdu, Sichuan
On May 12, 2008, Chinese architect Stepp Lin was focusing intensely on his professional licensing exam in a testing center in central Chengdu when suddenly he felt someone bumping his desk. By the time he looked up to see what it was, most of the other exam takers were frantically fleeing for the exit. It turns out that what he was feeling were the tremors of what was to be the most devastating earthquake to hit China in recent memory. read more »
Reducing Traffic Congestion and Improving Travel Options in Los Angeles
While traffic congestion plagues many cities, Los Angeles stands apart. The Texas Transportation Institute tracks congestion statistics for U.S. metropolitan areas on an annual basis, and Los Angeles routinely ranks first for both total and per-capita congestion delays. Considering the value of wasted time and fuel, TTI estimates the annual cost of traffic congestion in greater Los Angeles at close to $10 billion. read more »
Housing: Density & Desire
Density — the number of units per acre on a proposed site plan — is at the heart of the developer's mantra: More density, more profit.

The compression of families is an attempt to curb sprawl and reduce transportation energy consumption. For these reasons, many Green programs demand a minimum density to qualify for certification. read more »

Built from 1933-1936, the Bay Bridge linking San Francisco to Oakland was an engineering marvel of its day. A complex series of multiple spans, when it opened – six months ahead of the more famous Golden Gate Bridge – it was both the longest suspended bridge deck in the world and the longest cantilever bridge in the world. The western suspension bridge section, technically two bridges in one, had to settle for being only the second and third longest suspension bridges in the world. read more »

NEW ORLEANS, 8 January 2014 -- Writer/Director Randy Mack celebrates the production wrap of his latest feature (Laundry Day) with a showing of his first feature, Burning Annie, hosted as part of DyverseCity's Krewe du Cinema series. As part of the venue's mission to empower art, products, and services in a collective artistic co-op, DyverseCity often hosts events promoting entrepreneurs and community development.
Burning Annie (2007) -- released from LightYear/Warner Bros. -- is a story about a college student's addiction to Annie Hall. The film received a Golden Starfish Award nomination for 'Best Fiction Feature' at the Hamptons International Film Festival where it initially premiered, and won 'Best Feature' at both the West Virginia Filmmakers Film Festival and MassBay Film Festival. It has also been awarded for 'Best First Feature' (Seattle True Independent Film Festival), and as the Tastie Awards for 'Best Screenplay,' 'Best Director,' and 'Best Actor.'
Among a collection of short films and screenplays from Armak Productions, Mack is currently in post-production for his feature film Laundry Day, which shot on location in New Orleans this past December. This latest feature, being promoted as "a dark feature by/of/about New Orleans," has best been described as Magnolia meets Barfly. It tells the tale of four New Orleans residents whose fight in a bar reveals the intertwining of their lives—and the lies they entail.
Laundry Day stars Samantha Ann Huffman, Dave Randolph-Mayhem Davis, Kerry Cahill, and Billy Slaughter as the four central characters.
Following the showcase of Burning Annie, Mack will participate in a Q&A session. He also has clips from his other cinematic works to share with attendees.
The event happens on Wednesday, 22 January starting at 7p, 3929 Fourth St. Admission is free, and concessions are available.

PHILIPPA HAWKER Haunted-house horror movie The Conjuring has a distinctive feel even as it embraces familiar fright elements.
PAUL BYRNES ''To conjure'' originally meant to summon a devil, but then it became a word for magic tricks. In his latest horror confection, James Wan gives us both meanings.
A family encounters spirits living among them in their New England farmhouse.
PAUL BYRNES Do we really care whether slashers and supernatural flicks are based on real events?
This is the real deal. There hasn't been a good haunted house/exorcism movie since William Friedkin's THE EXORCIST. James Wan is the new master of horror. The horror for most part is in the dark recesses of the imagination and the last 40 minutes will have audience on the edge of their seats.

Gijs Papavoine Sting Armchairfor MontisA luxury armchair of compact dimensions
Sting gives new meaning to the words 'easy seater': its seating height is that of an ordinary chair, but it simultaneously offers all the seating comfort of a luxury armchair. What sets Sting apart from most other armchairs is the fact that is combines a decidedly roomy seat with a chair of compact dimensions. The secret lies in its trapezium-shaped design, combining a broad front with a narrow back – a principle which is echoed in the chair's vertical structure, with a narrow base 'fanning out' into a wider upper structure. Its curved lines lend it a degree of elegance previously unattainable for a fully upholstered closed armchair. Sting offers the widest possible range of applications. It is equally at home in the living room and at the dinner table, but also takes conference or boardroom duties in its stride.
Sting is available either with fixed legs or with castors.
Sting's proportions are (w x d x h):
Armchair: 69 x 65 x 87 cm
Seat height: 46 cm

In the Finger Lakes, Baco Noir and Vidal Blanc are planted and produced in proliferation. They do make some very nice wines throughout the region. Mind you, Hybrids such as Traminette, Noiret and Corot Noir to name a few of Cornell's recent victories are being planted all over the FL and have produced some stellar results in a short time span.

True wine lovers can appreciate all wines, no matter the grape parentage. Labrusca grapes are capable of producing balanced, aromatically complex wines. And they can be much more difficult to make well than vinifera wines.

Based on my extensive tastings in the Niagara region over the past 3 years, I highly recommend Honeymoon Trail for Catawba and Diamond, and Schulze for a sparkling Catawba that is NY wine history in a glass. (the entire NY industry was based on sparkling Catawba for many years)

Brian, you should also consider a post related to fruit wines in the Niagara region. As the region is primarily orchards, many wineries are producing exceptional fruit wines from local fruit.

Bryan I agree with your thoughts on Baco and Vidal - I think they can be very enjoyable. I've also had some real nice Traminette, Chambourcin and Cayuga blends over the years.
 As many of you know there is a worldwide effort to promote and grow indigenous varieties from various regions. We should look at natives and hybrids with the same view. Frankly, I find drinking these wines a refreshing change from the sometimes monolithic flavors experienced with tasting the same noble vinifera.
 In addition, natives and hybrids offer a pathway to complete certified organic grape production in the northeast - something that more growers should take advantage of as the market demand grows for these types of wines.

of course these are two different issues, wine makeing and grape growing.

Im only begining to learn winemaking, so I cant state with certainty how, but I know there are ways to work around high acid. The most obvious is to use them in a blend. In the old world tradition of winemaking their are many more blended wines than varietals.

Ill half agree with you about hybrid hardiness. They are for people who have no choice in their vineyard site, aka the farmer or person who already has land, maybe 4 or 5 miles away from the river (im in the Hudson valley, substitute your big water), and plants grapes on it. In a non ideal vineyard situation, hybrids and natives will probably always out perform vinifera. But regardless of the varietal, you only get the best from it at the best sites (well actully thats just step one, as we all know).

I did make an error in linking hybrid and native in the same thought. Hybrid grapes can be done dry with success.

Native grapes on the other hand are naturally more acidic and, generally speaking, need sugar to balance them out.

The fact that hybrid grapes are bred to be more cold hardy and disease resistant does in fact make them easier to grow and require less strategy when choosing vineyard sites.

Baco and Vidal are two shining examples of hybrids and I do feel that I shouldn't generalize such a large class of grapes.

Thanks for the comments, they are much appreciated!

Labrusca and Hybrid = sweet wine. Wrong.

 "They can be quickly turned around, don't require barrels and don't demand the same attention as their vinifera cousins. " DEAD WRONG. Just because that is how they are often treated dosnt make that true. I dont know what kind of wines you expect to produce working on that assumption. The only difference is we have had thousands of years to work with vinifera, and only a few hundred with labrusca and hybrids. Be patient grasshopper.

We have the same issue in New England. I think part of the problem is that many of the dry vinifera wines are just, how can I put this...god awful. There are pockets of more established grape growers/wine-makers who have already done their trial and error and have zeroed in on the vinifera that can really do well in that locale. For others, the only vinifera varietals that are remotely palatable (particularly where reds are concerned) are the sweets.

Bryan, I would contend that even visitors to the Finger Lakes face the same situation. While there are a lot of wineries dedicated primarily to vinifera, these wineries are not clustered in one location, and therefore a visitor travelling down the road may encounter several wineries with a non-vinifera emphasis between wineries that offer dryer fair.

I guess each type of drinker should find their own place, no big deal. Where I think this is can be a problem for the industry as a whole is when a visitor who enjoys vinifera randomly selects a few stops and leaves the region disappointed or confused by the sweet stuff they've encountered. There are enough wineries to satisfy their palate, and yet the physical layout of the region has convinced them to not look to the Finger Lakes for future wine consumption. The lack of their purchasing loyalty hurts the industry as a whole, no matter what their personal tastes.

Hang in there--it's nice hearing about the wineries in the Niagara region that are trying to make vinifera work for them.

WASHINGTON - President Bush stepped into foreign policy for the first time Monday, meeting with Canada's prime minister, Jean Chretien, and rebutting talk that he prefers Mexico to the United States' neighbor to the north. "I've got a preference for friends," Bush said.
Bush and Chretien, along with aides, spent half an hour in the Oval Office where they discussed among other things trade and a shared passion for bass fishing. They then moved to the president's residence for a dinner of Maine lobster, pan-seared bison loin and chocolate hazelnut terrine.
The missile defense system that Bush hopes to build, and on which Chretien has been silent, loomed large among issues between the two leaders, as did drilling for oil in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Canada has criticized that idea on environmental grounds.
Calling Canada "our closest friend to the White House," Bush said he looks forward to developing a friendship with Chretien. The Canadian offered an appreciative smile, and said he felt like "kind of a cousin coming to visit."
"Whenever there are problems, we can talk, consult and try to find an acceptable solution," Chretien said. "I want to wish you the best luck in your job. I know that you will be successful, and when you need us, we'll be there. And we hope that when we need you, you will be there."
The meeting was Bush's first face-to-face session with a world leader since taking office Jan. 20. It was arranged after Bush said he would visit Mexico, not Canada, in his first foreign trip this month, abandoning the Canada-first precedent of his three most recent predecessors.
Bush sought to dispel sore feelings in Canada about his plans. "Canadians are long-standing friends of the United States. Mexico is an important country as well," Bush said. "My preference is for friendly relations in our hemisphere. . . . It's so important for the United States not to neglect the hemisphere."
Bush invited Chretien to his Texas ranch to fish for large-mouthed bass, and he said he hoped to do some fishing at Chretien's Canadian retreat as well. As for whether they would golf together, Bush said: "If he gives me enough strokes."
Bush said he would push Congress to promote free trade, starting with "fast-track" presidential authority to negotiate trade agreements. "A free-trading hemisphere is going to benefit Canada; it's going to benefit the United States," Bush said.
In a speech before the Organization of American States, Chretien said he views relations with all American nations, including the United States and Mexico, as that of "una gran familia" - one big family - that is "secure in our unique identity and sovereignty."
"Canadians felt that our national journey was taking a different path than that of the Americas," Chretien said. "Those days are gone, forever."
Canadians have not ignored the fact that Bush made a congratulatory call to Mexican President Vicente Fox when Fox was inaugurated last year. Nor have they overlooked the chummy nature of the Feb. 16 Bush-Fox meeting, to be held on Fox's ranch, or Secretary of State Colin Powell's comment that the Mexico trip was evidence of "the special place Mexico holds in our national priorities."

These are great. The kids loved using them to make cards for the animal shelter's gift shop. Very cute alone, or with a ribbon behind them. Kids even put them on Cricut cut-out dogs mouth like he was holding a bone. Great set and good deal.
These are so cute. I've already used them on a couple of pet pages. I'm glad I ordered them.
So cute.

BOULDER � The spring semester grade numbers are in for the University of Colorado athletic program, and the news is good, paralleling the success the school enjoyed with the Academic Progress Report (APR) released in June.
The two reports don't have much correlation with each other, but certainly both indicate positive results achieved by the student-athletes, their coaches, and the staff of CU's Herbst Academic Center.
The 303 student-athletes enrolled for the 2012 spring semester had a term grade point average of 2.935, the highest since the department starting tracking the information in 1996 and shattering the old mark of 2.891, compiled during the Spring 2000 semester.� Third best is the 2.871 for Spring '99 term, with the Fall '11 semester GPA of 2.867 now fourth.� In addition, it is the first time that the GPA has been in excess of 2.850 for both the fall and spring terms in the same academic year.
"We are thrilled that for the first time in recorded history, the overall student-athlete GPA has topped 2.9," said Kris Livingston, Director of the Herbst Academic Center.� "A lot of hard work went into this accomplishment, starting with the student-athletes who work hard, prepare and engage in their coursework while representing CU in their sports.� Credit also goes to the coaches who believe in the academic endeavors of their students and support the academic staff, as well as to the Herbst Academic Center staff who roll up their sleeves every day to help the students find success in the classroom and navigate academics and athletics.
�"I also have to recognize our athletic administration, which continues to support our efforts and provide valuable resources and the CU-Boulder campus administration, faculty and staff who understand the value of intercollegiate athletics and provide assistance every step of the way."
Five programs had team grade point averages of 3.2 or better (men's and women's skiing, women's golf, soccer and tennis), while eight boasted 3.0-plus marks. �The 12-member men's ski team had a 3.620 GPA for the semester, not only its best term GPA on record (its 3.402 number just last fall had been tops), but the second best and just the fifth by any program to post a 3.5 or better.� They fell just shy of the all-time semester best, a 3.627 by the women's skiers in Fall '07, but did top the 3.604 by the women's cross country team in Spring '01.�
To put what the men's skiers did in perspective, the 12 student-athletes for the spring combined to record 28 A's, 7 A-minus', 8 B-plusses and 5 B's, with just one each B-minus and C-plus and two C's, out of 52 classes (not including two classes taken pass/fail, both of which were passed); 10 of the skiers posted term GPA's of 3.433 or better, including one 4.0 and two 3.925's.����
Other superlatives included the women's ski team posting its 22nd consecutive semester over a 3.0 (and 32 of the last 33), while the women's cross country team did so for the 16th straight term; women's golf posted its third best term on record (3.258); and football recorded its third consecutive semester with its best GPA term ever tabulated (2.720, besting its 2.661 last fall).
Cumulatively speaking, the 303 student-athletes posted a 2.892 number, the second-highest number ever calculated, trailing only the 2.897 figure posted following the Spring '09 semester; Fall '11 (2.876), Fall '09 (2.870) and Spring '11 (2.869) round out the top five, meaning three of the best five cumulative marks have been recorded in the last three semesters.� This marks the ninth straight semester all Colorado student-athletes have combined for a GPA over 2.8 (and all 2.827 or better).�
Seven squads own cumulative grade points of 3.0 or greater, again led by the men's skiers at 3.512 the first time a cumulative GPA has topped the 3.5 mark; the women's skiers were next at 3.321 followed by women's cross country at 3.251.� Football's cumulative average was 2.658, its second-highest; since attaining 2.50 or higher for just the third time in the Spring of 2008, the team has recorded nine straight semesters in excess of that barrier.
A look at all sports semester numbers (with cumulative average in parenthesis):
3.620� Men's Skiing (3.512)
3.392� Women's Skiing (3.321)
3.258� Women's Golf (3.091)
3.252� Women's Tennis (3.176)
3.199� Women's Soccer (3.085)
3.170� Women's Cross Country (3.251)
3.043� Women's Track (3.127)
3.010� Women's Volleyball (2.969)
2.944� Men's Cross Country (2.926)
2.845� Women's Basketball (2.855)
2.822� Men's Golf (2.684)
2.816� Men's Track (2.793)
2.720� Football (2.658)��������������
2.576� Men's Basketball (2.750)
Overall, 64 student-athletes owned semester grade points over 3.5 (21 percent, matching the previous all-time high), 145 over 3.0 (48%, also tying the record) and 232 over 2.5 (77%, an all-time high mark); 11 students scored perfect 4.0 semesters.� Cumulatively speaking, 13 percent own GPA's of 3.5 or higher, 39 percent of at least 3.0, with 76 percent at 2.5 or better.

Picnic Club Debuts in Central Park; Manhattan's Better With Rye
The owners of a coffeehouse–wine bar combo might be on to something and a Country chef opens a Nolita restaurant in today's neighborhood food news.
Central Park: The Picnic Club's first picnic is this Sunday, at 1 p.m., in Sheep Meadow. [Picnic Club via Down by the Hipster]
Chinatown: Try pairing Tribeca Film Festival flicks with not-inconvenient, quasi-relevant meals, like going to the Peking Duck House before checking out Three Kingdoms: Resurrection of the Dragon, in which "three ancient Chinese kingdoms battle for control of the country." You and your date can fight over the crispiest skin. [Zagat]

East Village: Arlo & Esme might actually succeed at being a "coffee geek's cafe/'speakeasy' bar." [Eater]

There were no actual other chickens to which to compare the tasty bird, but "anytime you can walk right into a restaurant without a reservation or a wait, and find spectacularly delicious food, cheap prices, and on-the-ball service despite a full house—that's a very happy, very rare night in NYC."

About Our Waterfowl Hunting Service
We offer four different waterfowl hunting venues. Most offering below ground blinds and only the top waterfowl guides in the country to make your hunt comfortable and successful.
Delevan Waterfowl Hunting
The first is our "Delevan" rice fields in the Sacramento Valley, approximately one hour north of Sacramento by car. This location boasts in ground steel pit blinds that keep you warm and dry even on those rainy days. The primary game are Snow and Specklebelly Geese that are flying off of the Delevan refuge in the morning hours. This field is directly adjacent to the Delevan refuge, so the success rate of geese taken at this location is very high.
New Maxwell Specklebelly Hunting
The second field is our "New Maxwell" field which is specifically used during the Delevan closure by the DFG on December 15th to hunt for Specklebelly geese. Only hunted on Wednesdays and Thursday as well as Saturday and Sunday in order to keep the pressure ultra low. A great low pressure hunt. You can expect lots of in your face goose action at this location also located in the heart of the Sacramento Valley.
South Dakota Waterfowl & Pheasant Hunting
If you have been a hunter at one time in your life, you probably know about the reputation South Dakota carries for wild game. If you are a pheasant hunter you probably know it is the best place in the country to hunt pheasant. Kill Zone Outfitters is very proud to offer Pheasant and Waterfowl Hunting just outside of Watertown South Dakota in the little town of Henry. Marty who ruins our outfit, is one of the most down to earth characters and moved to South Dakota from California just to chase pheasant and waterfowl. Marty now offers full lodging along with one of the best guide services in the country, right in the heart of South Dakota.
Early Season Honkers
South Dakota along with a couple of other eastern states offer a early season Canada Goose hunt starting the first week of September for these elusive giants. During this time, you can expect to have generous limits of these large birds decoying like they have never seen a decoy before. Our experienced crew scouts daily and puts you on the "X" for the next days hunt. Most hunts are done from layout blinds in corn or other grain fields. All birds are feet down in the decoys when the shots are called. This is one of the only places in the nation to rival Canada for hunting honkers.
Duck Hunting
Along with great goose hunting South Dakota also offers unbelievable duck hunting. Duck hunting here is done on a variety of properties depending on the time of year you plan your trip and what species is making the migration. You can expect stellar duck hunting until the cold weather starts. Special permits to hunt Indian land are available at times. Please call for more information.

With top notch dogs, a great staff and local knowledge, rest assured you will have the pheasant hunt of a lifetime.

Food Porn - Mrs. Field's Cinnamon Roll with Cream Cheese
Cinnamon Roll With Cream Cheese Icing Is Food Porn, Says CSPI
September 9, 2002
Mrs. Fields new Cinnamon Roll with Cream Cheese Icing has been named Food Porn of the Month by the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interests Nutrition Action Healthletter. Bulging out of its burger-sized box with more than one thousand calories, 18 teaspoons of sugar, and 48 grams of fatincluding one-and-a-half days worth of the artery-clogging saturated kind this snack outweighs even the notoriously fattening half-pound Cinnabon. In fact, says CSPI, one could eat four Dunkin Donuts Glazed Donuts and still fall 170 calories short of Mrs. Fields latest invention.
A few of these rolls from Mrs. Fields and youd be well on your way to your own roll around your midsection, said CSPI senior nutritionist Jayne Hurley. Mrs. Fields cookies are among the most artery-clogging snacks you can get at the mall food court, but you could have three of Mrs Fields Milk Chocolate Chip Cookies and suffer less arterial damage. Putting cream cheese icing on a huge cinnamon roll is adding insult to injury.
Food Porn is a regular feature on the back page of Nutrition Action Healthletter. Other recent Food Porns include Pizza Huts PZone, the pizza you eat like a sandwich, and Dairy Queens Brownie Earthquake.

|False Charges on San Salvador Vendors Dismissed
|Written by Peter Gabny
|Tuesday, 14 April 2009 14:01
Witnesses say police planted evidence
The 14th Court of Peace in San Salvador released Roberto Alexis Víchez Osegueda, Adalberto Martínez Mejía, Carlos Alexander Soriano, Alfredo Mauricio Rivas Campos y José María Elizondo on Tuesday and dropped charges by the Attorney General's Office (FGR) that they had been selling child pornography. Family members believe police instigated the vendors' wrongful arrests.
On April 8, 18 members of the Finance Division of the Salvadoran National Police (PNC) raided several vending stands in the Central Market of San Salvador as part of an operation to seize pornographic merchandise. After confiscating hundreds of videos from approximately eight vendors, witnesses say the police proceeded to place the videos in stalls that were not connected to the raids and make arrests.
Witnesses said that the police assaulted two of the vendors when they attempted to cover their faces from television cameras and reporters.
"None of the vendors were selling pornography and none of them are gang members. They are vendors and nothing more," said the sister of one vendor. "The police are accusing them of something they didn't do. They [the police] put the videos they confiscated on my brother's table and essentially said, 'Here's the evidence'."
"They [FGR] had no evidence against my son yet they showed his picture all over the television and newspapers," said Yanira Ortiz, mother of one of the vendors who she chose not to name. "It was as if he had already been convicted."
The arrests are perceived by many as an attempt by the Salvadoran right wing to instill fear among thousands of vendors in the Central Market and to reproduce criminal images of thousands of low-income workers in the informal sector, over 65% of the workforce of San Salvador.
"They took my son from behind his stand for no reason, then stole his merchandise and all of the money he had earned for the day," said the mother of another arrested vendor. "He doesn't sell pornography and never has. They're just doing this to us because they don't want us here. They think it's OK to violate our rights because we're poor."
As street protests began that night in response to the raid, members of the Unit and Maintenance and Order (UMO) division of the PNC arrested another man, Carlos Chávez Alexander, for 'public disorder' as he was walking home from work. Alexander's family believes he was singled out because of his appearance.Seven more arrests made throughout the night -- which resulted in charges of 'Illicit Activity' and 'Public Disorder' - were also dismissed by the Court for lack of sufficient evidence.
"The police said he looked suspicious to them because he doesn't dress like a worker and carries a bag over his shoulder," Alexander's mother reported. "Do the police arrest people for looking different? He's never been arrested before but with these charges, he could have served 3-5 years [in prison]." Alexander's friend was also detained temporarily but eventually released at the scene.
According to organizers, the PNC have made an annual routine of raiding the Central Market during Easter holiday. "I don't know if the PNC celebrates anniversaries but for some reason every year they return before, during, or soon after Semana Santa (Holy Week) and try to provoke unrest," said vendor and organizer Martin Montoya.
In April 2007, an almost identical set of PNC actions took place, which failed to provoke a response from the vendors. The police revisited on May 12th, where they were met with heavy opposition. In all, 20 arrests were made and 14 vendors were charged with terrorism. After several months in jail, where vendors faced substandard living conditions and the loss of thousands of dollars in family income, the Secret Court on Acts of Terrorism dropped the charges in February 2008.

New policy plans for India stimulates confidence and investment in solar energy
- Date
- 06 December 2012
NEW DELHI: India has released a draft policy stating the nation will build 9,000 megawatts of solar plants by 2017, which will increase confidence and investment in solar energy within the emerging economy.
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's National Solar Mission policy sets out plans to boost grid-connected solar to over eight times its current capacity, based on the Government's need to 'promote ecologically sustainable growth while addressing India's energy security challenge'.
Included in the policy are plans to:
- auction 1,650 megawatts of photovoltaic capacity in the next financial year
- release direct grants covering up to 40% of the upfront costs of building solar projects
Beyond India, a big contributing factor towards global growth in clean energy investment is due to the success of solar power, according to research by Worldwatch Institute's Climate and Energy Program. It found that solar was propelled by a 50% price drop and US$147.4 billion in investment in 2011.
Aditi Dass, Director of Technology Programs, The Climate Group said: "This new policy draft comes in as a shot in the arm for the solar sector, which is already under the spotlight as far as Government focus is concerned. The announcement certainly sends out a very clear message about the Government's mandate to accelerate the clean energy growth map and will go some way in stimulating India's energy markets."
