Cinco De Mayo
Do you know the significance behind this glorious holiday? For those who say no, let me give you that "I learn something new everyday" lesson.
Many believe that Cinco De Mayo, The 5th of May is Mexico's Independence day. *hits loud buzzer* well they are wrong, The 5th of May is actually a holiday that commemorates the victory of the Mexican militia over the French army at The Battle of Puebla in 1862. But, like most days, we don't need a reason to party.
The battle at Puebla in 1862 happened during a very violent and chaotic time in Mexico's history. In 1821 Mexico finally gained independence from Spain after a hard and bloody struggle with numerous internal political wars and takeovers. Which included the Mexican-American War and the Mexican Civil War of 1858, which ruined the national economy.
The French army was stopped near Puebla at the Mexican forts of Loreto and Guadalupe. Lead by Mexican General Ignacio Zaragoza Seguin, 4,500 men were able to defeat the French army of 6,500. This gave Mexicans a good reason to celebrate, although I was short lived due to Napoleon III. He later sent 30,000 troops to dominate Mexico because of his loss. For 3 years Maximilian was ruler of Mexico. His reign ended after the American Civil war was over, the U.S. sent military assistance to Mexico to help expel the French.
So while the holiday is supposed to be more of a regional thing, many cities in U.S., that are highly populated with people of a Mexican heritage, take the opportunity to celebrate. Over the years it has become a larger holiday north of the border, than south.
This year will be our first year celebrating this holiday. In partnership with Luz McCook we are having a Cinco De Mayo themed brunch. Festive hats, bright colors, and a piñata filled with tequila!!!!

"… an extension of love"
Luz McCook … Remember her name, and make sure you remember that you heard it first from Majestical Lips, INC. Luz is a beautiful mother of two darling boys, a working woman, a chef, and the owner and founder of PopupMIA and Discover Gourmet Catering. If that wasn't enough to empress you Luz recently started a non-profit organization called Flowers Against Hunger, a food pantry that provides healthy fresh food for hungry families in South Florida.
I have seen her passion in food through the food she produces, but I had to ask her how she grew to love cooking so much. Luz explained to me that as a child growing up she bonded with her father by cooking with him. That made cooking enjoyable for her, eventually making it a way for her to express herself. Her main ingredient ? Love❤ Consider yourself lucky if you get invited to her home for any cooked meal, because Luz told me "if i cook for you consider it an extension of love". Luz specializes in international cuisine, having cooked for celebrities and professional athletes. Before the birth of her youngest son she had an awesome gig cooking for student who lived on campus at FIU. Im sure it was better than mamas cooking !
Through mutual friends and the lovely social media I have had the please of becoming friends with this magnificent woman (If you couldn't tell I'm all about women empowerment). I am excited to have her as a part of the MLI family. Her energy and positive vibrations are infectious. Growing up with a passion for cooking, Luz has always inspired me with her posts, I made Jamaican Patties years ago since I felt so inspired. None the less her presentation and creativity is beyond any of my home learned skills. Now I leave the cooking up to her and focus of spreading the holistic lifestyle. But, it is has been torturous, salivating over all of her post on Instagram like pan roasted chicken breast braised in homemade roasted chicken stock, served with congri with smoked sausage and steamed veggies YUM !!
I wanted to share Luz with you because Popup MIA will be presenting a series of spring brunches called Nice N' Easy in the Majestical Lips Garden hosted by herself and Dahlia Brice. The first to be held on April 19, 2015 from 11:00am to 3:00pm Book your ticket here before the 17th and get the early bird special .. A portion of all tickets sold at this event will be donated to Flowers Against Hunger. Flowers Against Hunger is a weekly subscription of $4, with this small donation they send you a small bouquet of flowers for your office or home. So while feeding the less fortunate family you get a little reminder of how awesome you are for donating ! I could go on and on about why she is amazing but, the easiest way for you to find out is by making your way here to meet her and Dahlia for yourself!

Bentonite Clay
What is it?
Bentonite clay is a natural healing clay that is made up from minerals that are formed by volcanic ash. This volcanic ash was originally found near Fort Benton, Wyoming. It is a very powerful clay that produces a negative electric charge when activated by water, This aids in binding and removing toxins. The water alters the components allowing the clay to become a powerful tool to absorb those nasty toxins. Bentonite clay is used to remove heavy metals from the body in addition to toxins. It can be used both externally and internally, if the quality of clay is high (while we do mention ingesting Bentonite clay we do not recommend that you do so).
How is it used?
Externally, this clay can be applied to any area of your body. Some people go as for as to taking a Bentonite Clay bath, applying it to their entire body.
- Apply the bentonite clay and water paste on the skin. This can be used for any skin irritation like blemishes, insect bites, cuts, skin itching, and burns. It helps with skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis.
- For more severe issues try making a poultice by applying a thick layer of clay on the skin, then a layer of wet gauze or cloth. After the clay and gauze have been applied, wrap the area, changing the poultice every 2 hours.
- Detox Bath – Add 1/4 to 1/2 cups of clay to your bath and soak for 15-20 minutes. It will revitalize your body and awaken your cells.
- Substitute for Baby Powder – The clay can be applied the same way you apply baby powder. It soothes infection and redness.
-Face Mask Recipes-
- 1 tablespoon bentonite clay
- 1 tablespoon water, apple cider vinegar, or kombucha
- essential oils like tea tree and lavender are optional
- a cup or bowl and a spoon to mix (plastic only)
Mix the ingredients together and apply to the face or area of skin you wish to focus on. Allow the mask to dry for 15-20 or until hard, this will allow the sponge like mixture to draw out all toxins and heavy metals in the skin. Once the mask has hardened, rinse with warm water and pat dry. It is always important to moisturize your skin, keep it natural and try raw shea butter. If you find it to be too greasy try a light weight moisturizer that contains SPF.
– Add 4-5 drops tea tree essential oil and 1 tablespoon of ground oats (grind in food processor or blender until flour like) for an acne fighting mask
-Add 1 tablespoon of raw organic honey for an antibacterial acne fighting mask
– Substitute the water, apple cider vinegar, or kombucha for a plain yogurt for a soothing face mask
Kombucha Love pt.1
Let's talk about it … the Immortal Health Elixir, commonly known as Kombucha. In a nut shell it is the superfood of beverages, but before we rant and rave about how amazing it is, we need to know WHAT it is.
Kombucha is fermented tea, plain and simple. Fermentation, as per Webster's definition is, a : a chemical change with effervescence b : an enzymatically controlled anaerobic breakdown of an energy-rich compound (as a carbohydrate to carbon dioxide and alcohol or to an organic acid); broadly : an enzymatically controlled transformation of an organic compound (http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fermentation). It is the process of that the ecosystem uses to digest complex matter into simpler molecules, which brings it down to base level to be re-entered into the food chain.
The drink is alive ! After the fermentation process, it has the power to nourish the body with compounds that can detoxify, energize, support your immune system, promote healthy skin, aides in digestion, and elevates your mood.
So, what's in it ? Kombucha is made with tea, we use a green tea, but you may find it made with white or black teas as well. The tea is sweetened with white sugar. I know, I know, white sugar … this is probably the only time when white sugar is the only option. During the fermentation process the SCOBY, which I'll get to in a second, eats up all the sugar. Finally, and the most important part of the fermentation process, the SCOBY. SCOBY which stands for Symbiotic Culture Of Bacteria and Yeast, is what gets the party started…. (There will be a later post on how to make Kombucha which I will go into detail about the process and all its ingredients.)
Okay, now that we got the business out the way… let's talk about how AMAZING kombucha is.
First and foremost it is a probiotic drink. It is rich is many of the enzymes and bacterial acids your body naturally produces and uses to detox your system. While almost every batch can very in it components, I will give you a list of a few of them that have been found by scientific studies.
- Glucosamines – Increases the hyaluronic acid in synovial fluid
- Probiotics – Aides in digestions and fights candida overgrowth
- Acetic Acid – The longer the tea is left to ferment, the higher the levels of acetic acid. This particular acid has the effect of leveling blood sugar spikes by disturbing the process of the breakdown of starches and sugar.
- Caprylic acid – This acid is associated with the reduction of high blood pressure, as well as the treatment of Crohn's disease. Caprylic acid is often used to treat vaginal and other yeast infections, including thrush.
- B vitamins – Now we all know the importance of B vitamins, in Kombucha you may find …
- B1 – Thiamine; deficiencies in this particular vitamin can cause optical, neurological, cardiovascular, and other serious diseases.
- B2 – Riboflavin; This helps to prevent migraine headaches, treat anemia, breakdown fat and carbs, and aides in the production of energy in your body.
- B3 – Niacin – Decreases the risk of❤ disease !!! Also, it is helpful in regulating hormones; specifically, sexual hormones.
- B5 – Pantothenic Acid; helps to regulate the ratio of good cholesterol to bad cholesterol & it is also a great defender against heart disease
- B12 – Cyanocobalamin; cell maintenance, particularly in the blood and nervous system. It helps with fatigue, Alzheimer's disease, breast cancer, and anemia.
- Catechins and other polyphenols – Basically … antioxidants. Antioxidants do not live long in the body, therefore it is beneficial to consume them throughout the day. That does not mean that you have to only sip Kombucha throughout your day, it just means that now you have another option to your daily consumption of antioxidants. Oh, and if you weren't familiar with polyphenols before, you should start. Polyphenols help to reduce body fat. You're welcome.
- Lactic acid – This particular acid is made by our muscles during exercise, which is what our mitochondria use to maintain performance. Therefore, the more lactic acid our little mitochondria have, the longer and harder they can work. IMPROVED PERFORMANCE.
Those are just a few of the compounds that have been found by multiple scientific studies. Now, and I'll make it short and brief, I will list a few of the benefits that have been found through cultural wisdom …
- Acid Reflux
- Acne
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Atherosclerosis
- Colitis
- Depression
- Diabetes
- Eczema
- Excess Weight
- Fatigue
- Fibromyalgia
- Hangover
- Headaches
- Hypertension
- Hypoglycemia
- Indigestion
- Radiation Poisoning
- Rheumatism
- Sluggish Metabolism
- Thinning Hair
- Tonsillitis
and believe me… ask a few different people whose families have been drinking Kombucha for generations, the list would never end.
So, hopefully you have been convinced to, at least try Kombucha, if you haven't already.
When you do we recommend that you start off with only 4oz a day. I know that it isn't much, and when you taste it you will be bummed because it actually taste great, but it does contain live bacteria. You want to first introduce it to your body. So, try the 4oz daily for about a week, then increase it to 8oz. Do a week with the 8oz then move up to 12oz. Baby steps people, baby steps. Once you've slowly moved up the Kombucha ladder, stop at 16oz. At 16oz a day you will receive all the benefits from Kombucha without it being in excess.
There is a forever growing supply of knowledge about Kombucha. I have recently started my own journey with it and I am already in love. When I make Kombucha, I make it with love and appreciation for its history. I have learned so much from literature but even more from the Kombucha community around me & the shop. I am excited to document my journey and share my knowledge with anyone who is willing to listen … or in your case read.
Until next time !
HERB: Dandelion Leaf and Root
Dandelion/Taraxacum officinale
Parts used: Roots, flowers, leaves
Also known as: Blowball, Cankerwort, Common Dandelion, Dandelion Herb, Leontodon taracum, Lion's Tooth, Pissenlit, Priest's Crown, Swine Snout, Taraxaci herba, Taraxacum vulgare, Wild Endive, Pee in the Bed, Lions Teeth, Fairy Clock, Clock, Clock Flowers, Clocks and Watches, Farmers Clocks, Old Mans Clock, One Clock, Wetweed, Blowball, Cankerwort, Lionstooth, Priests Crown, Puffball, Swinesnout, White Endive, Wild Endive and Pissa-a-beds. Dandelion, comes from Dents Lioness, medieval Latin, or Dent de Lion, French, both meaning tooth of the lion.
Dandelion's are Blood purifiers and builder. They are high in vitamins and minerals, especially calcium.
The dandelion is hated by men who strive for a golf-course swath of grass in their yards. But is also a herald of spring beloved by children. Children around the world delight in presenting their mothers with tight-fisted bouquets of vivid yellow and love to blow the o'clocks on the puffy seed heads. If the delight of children is not reason enough to appreciate the common dandelions. The medicinal benefits and culinary applications of this carefree plant ought to garner grudging respect.
The dandelion's use as a medicinal herb reaches far back into Chinese history. The Arabs were the next to recognize its usefulness and wrote about it around the 11th century. It was they who taught Europeans about its medicinal benefits.
When the Mayflower arrived in 1620, there were no dandelions in North America. By 1671, they were everywhere. They were introduced to America by European immigrants whose cultures used dandelions as part of their regular diet.
Contains all the nutritive salts for the blood. Dandelion restores and balances the blood so anemia that is caused by deficiencies of these blood salts disappears. It is used to lower blood pressure, helps build energy and endurance. Overweight people when losing weight can become over acidic. These acids in the blood are destroyed by dandelion.

Dandelion leaves provide vitamins A and C, (the vitamin A content is higher than that of carrots)
Dandelion flowers are one of the best sources of lecithin, a nutrient that elevates the brains acetylcholine and may play a role in boosting memory and mental focus. Lecithin is also good for liver problems. Dandelion root taraxacin, a hepatic stimulant, insulin, as sugar, lacvulin, choline (a basic constituent of lecithin), phytosterols, (which prevent the body from accumulating cholesterol), and potash, (a diuretic).
Dandelion root helps the body dispose of unwanted skin bacteria. It also stimulates digestion and supports the liver – the major organ that helps rid the body of toxins and excess hormones, including the androgens that trigger acne breakouts.
Dandelion root contains bitter principles that have a tonic effect on the liver and digestive system. It is also a natural diureticthat doesn't rob the body of potassium. This detoxifying, diuretic action also earns dandelion a place in many herbal weight loss formulations. In recent studies, Taraxacum officinalis was shown to have a positive effect on weight management. Dandelion root also contains sugars and starches easily assimilated by diabetics, and can be incorporated into a diet meant to help control blood sugar levels.
Constituents/ Properties:
Constituents: the bitter principle taraxacin, triterpenes (including taraxol and taraxasterol), sterols, inulin, sugars, pectin, glycosides, choline, phenolic acids, asparagine, vitamins, potassium. leaves: lutein, violaxan-thin, and other carotenoids; bitter substance
Properties: * AntiCancer * Bitter * Cholagogue * Depurative * Diuretic * Galactagogue * Stomachic * Tonic
Ways to prepare Dandelion root/ leaf:
Preparation Methods & Dosage : All parts of the dandelion are used for food and medicine, the roots are roasted and used in herbal decoctions, the leaves and crowns for salads and cooked greens, the flowers for making dandelion wine, and the juice to cure warts and blisters.
Drink dandelion root tea to eliminate the toxins that cause skin breakouts and acne.
Drink a cup of dandelion tea in the morning to increase regularity. It is a natural diuretic, and gentle laxative that doesn't rob the body of potassium.
Dandelion flowers are a feline safe pain reliever. (cats cannot tolerate aspirin) Drop a generous handful in near-boiling water. When the water has darkened, it can be cooled and administered with a dropper.
Squeeze the juice of a dandelion flower stem and apply the milky juice to a wart and leave it to dry on. Repeat as necessarily until wart falls off.
Combos / Recipes:
Chopped dandelion root can be combined with myrrh to make a poultice for boils and abscesses, with honeysuckle flowers to make a tea to be drunk to treat boils and abscesses, with skullcap and/or chrysanthemum flowers to make a tea to be drunk to treat sore eyes, or with heal-all to treat hard phlegm in bronchitis. Can also be administered in capsule or extract form for convenience.
Dandelion and bilberry "coffee":
This dark, sweet, and spicy herbal combo also tastes great which makes it a pleasure to include a morning cup in your daily routine. Helpful for heart health, and improved circulation, gout and arthritis.
1 tablespoon dandelion root
2 teaspoons tablespoon dried ginger
1 tablespoon bilberry fruits
3 cups of water
Additions:Cinnamon, cardamom, ramon nut
Recipe Instructions: Decoction :Bring to a boil slowly over low heat, simmer for 10 minutes, then serve hot.
Those who suffer from sensitivity to latex should not harvest their own dandelion leaves, since the stem of the dandelion contains a liquid latex substance that could trigger an allergic skin reaction.
Because the FDA does not oversee the production of dandelion herbal products, the risk exists for contamination of the product from pesticides and other chemicals. As a general safety precaution, do not give dandelion products to children, pregnant women or nursing mothers, unless directed to do so by a doctor.
HERB: Chickweed
Chickweed / Stellaria media
Parts used : leaves and stems
Parts used : leaves and stems
Also known as : Alsine media, Capiqui, Fleur en Satin, Herbe de Langue, Hierba Gallinera, Morgeline, Mouron des Oiseaux, Pamplina, Star Chickweed, Starweed, Stellaire Intermédiaire, Stellaire Moyenne, Stellaria media.
Chickweed is a member of the Caryophyllaceae, or carnation, family. Chickweed has been used for centuries as an early spring tonic, eaten fresh or steamed, to cleanse the kidneys and liver. English physician Nicholas Culpeper described chickweed as "a fine soft pleasing herb under the dominion of the Moon."
In early modern English herbals, chickweed is recommended as a healing salve or ointment. Some Native Americans used the herb as a wound poultice. It is considered by contemporary herbalists to be an anti-inflammatory herb, good for relieving coughs, congestion and other symptoms of the common cold.
Stomach and bowel problems.
Muscle and joint pain.
Skin conditions including boils, abscesses, and ulcers, when applied directly to the skin.
As chickweed is a very rich source of nutrients that are necessary for balancing the metabolic functions of the body, its intake lessens mucus buildup. It is beneficial in the treatment of various respiratory diseases like bronchitis, chronic cough, cold, asthma and allergy symptoms.
As a poultice, chickweed is used for reducing inflammation of the eyes, in people affected with pink eye or any other eye infection.Chickweed tea benefits include its use in treating coughs and strep throat. Honey can also be added to it for sweetening.Chickweed has diuretic properties, which help the body to flush out toxins through urine and also to reduce fluid retention, weight gain and bloating. Maintaining a healthy urinary system is one of the health benefits of chickweed. It is also used for treating urinary tract infections and cystitis, as it purifies the blood and the kidneys.
Chickweed is also used for weight loss, which is said to be due to the presence of saponins in this herb. It is also used in the treatment of cysts, ovarian cancer and thyroid disorders. Ingested as a tea or tincture, chickweed is indicated as an antitussive (for coughs), a mild diuretic, and as a demulcent for stomach ulcers and sore throats. As an ointment or salve, chickweed is used for inflammatory skin diseases such a eczema and psoriasis. It is also good for rashes, insect bites and burns.

- Anti inflammatory
- Anticancer Demulent
- Laxative
- Refrigerant
- Astringent
- Anti-rheumatic
- Demulcent
tea , tincture , salve , poultice, essential oil, and ointment.
Gather chickweed from young plants before or during flowering and throughout the year. Snipping the stems will encourage growth of new branches for later harvest. The freshly harvested herb will keep for several days if refrigerated. The fresh herb may be eaten in salads, or very, very lightly steamed as a potherb. Chickweed has a somewhat bland taste, so other edible greens may be added to the pot to enhance the flavor.
Infusion: Place 2 oz of fresh chickweed leaves and stems in a warmed glass container. Bring 2.5 cups of fresh, nonchlorinated water to the boiling point, and add it to the herbs. Cover and infuse the tea for about 10 minutes. Strain and drink warm. The prepared tea will store for about two days in a sealed container in the refrigerator. Chickweed tea may be enjoyed by the cupful up to three times a day. A strong infusion may be used as a skin wash or bath additive to soothe itching and inflamed skin.
Poultice: Chop fresh chickweed leaves and stems in sufficient quantity to cover the area being treated. Sprinkle the herb with water and place over the area. Cover the herbal mass with a strip of wet cotton gauze to hold the poultice in place. When gathering the older, tougher plant, the herb may be simmered either in water alone or in a 50/50 mixture of water and vinegar for about five minutes. Apply to the skin after the mixture has sufficiently cooled.
Tincture: Combine four ounces of finely-cut fresh or powdered dry herb with one pint of brandy, gin, or vodka, in a glass container. The alcohol should be enough to cover the plant parts. Place the mixture away from light for about two weeks, shaking several times each day. Strain and store in a tightly-capped, dark glass bottle. A standard dose is 1–4 ml of the tincture three times a day.bly safe in non-allergic people when ingested in food amounts, based on its use as a wild edible plant in Spain.
A general cleansing combination that you can make yourself, which helps you lose weight, is a blend of:
- Chickweed
- Black Walnut
- Echinacea
- Mandrake
- Licorice
- Safflower
- Gota Kola
- Hawthorne Berries
- Papaya
- Fennel Seed
- Dandelion

There's nothing wrong with going back to the well and offering variations on a theme. Hip-hop is a referential medium, and plenty of artists have built sustained, flourishing careers on the basis of a few ideas flipped in new ways. (EPMD's business-mindedness comes to mind.) But at a certain point, you gotta let it go. To choose a particularly stark example: LL Cool J turning, "They call me Jaws, my hat is like a shark's fin" from the classic "I'm Bad" into the hook for "Deepest Bluest (Shark's Fin)," one of the deeper valleys in LL's sine-wave career. You made it a hot line, then you made it a wack song.

By Aaron Swaney Herald Writer
Have you met Randall?
He's a wee little fellow that loves beer and comes up to about the average beer drinker's knee. But watch out, he can pack quite a punch.
In the craft beer world, Randall isn't a who but a what. Created in 2003 by legendary East Coast brewery Dogfish Head, Randall — or fully Randall the Enamel Animal — is a organoleptic hop transducer module. In layman's terms, it's a chamber filled with flavor-enhancing ingredients such as hops, fruit, coffee, etc., that beer pours through, directly infusing the beer with the flavor of whatever is in the chamber.
Often times, especially with hops, those flavors are heightened exponentially. Instead of a rounded flavor profile a casked beer may display, Randalled beers provide a bright, sharp drinking experience.
"When you drink a beer Randallized by hops those characteristics are raw and in your face," said Ajen Birmingham, who works for Mukilteo's Diamond Knot Craft Brewing.
The theme of this Saturday's Everett Craft Beer Fest is Randalls. For more information on the festival, see the box at right.
Dogfish Head created their Randall to house hops. The thought was that giving beer direct contact with the lupulin glands — lupulin is the active ingredient in hops — on the hop cones would infuse the beer with hops' three major essential oils (myrcene, humulene, and caryophyllene). Instead of evaporating during the boiling process, the essential oils would be in the beer.
"Alcohol works as a solvent and strips those essential oils off the lupulin and into the beer," Birmingham said of the Randall process. "A lot of times you'll get this little oil slick on the top of the beer. That's the essential oils."
Birmingham said he's even heard of a "lupulin buzz" that affects certain people after drinking beer Randalled through hops. "I've heard it calms people down and even helps them with their voice," Birmingham said, laughing.
Diamond Knot plans to pour its signature IPA through a Randall full of Sorachi Ace hops at the beer fest. Sorachi Ace hops are a rare, sought-after Japanese hop that has grapefruit characteristics with lemon and cotton candy flavors, said Birmingham.
"Sorachi Ace hops are really high in essential oils; really dank and sticky," Birmingham said.
Hops are far from the only thing brewers put in Randalls. It has become a competition at festivals to see who can put the craziest combination together. Gummi bears, Baby Ruth candy bars, candied bacon bits, the list goes on. At this year's beer fest, Bellingham's Boundary Bay is bringing a Randall full of cedar chips.
Geoff Middleton, owner and head brewer at Everett's Middleton Brewing, is no stranger to using far-out flavors like pecans, peanut butter and tangerines in his beers. Middleton pours a beer through his homemade Randall every Friday. Last Friday he Randalled Snipes Mountain's Blueberry Berliner Weisse through Sour Patch Kids and berry gum.
Middleton said some of his experiments have been hits while others not so much. He pointed out a Randalled version of his peanut butter oatmeal stout through bananas as one of the hits. The miss he remembers most? A pecan porter through toffee.
"It was way too overpowering," said Middleton, who is looking forward to soon Randalling Highwater Brewing's Campfire Stout through marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate.
Middleton made the single-chamber Randall he uses at the brewery for $30, but he said he's considering purchasing a Randall from Dogfish Head that has two chambers to cut down on foam.
Not everyone is a fan of Randalls. Sean Wallner, who, along with Aaron Wight, owns Marysville's Whitewall Brewing, said he understands the appeal of Randalls but doesn't have a particular fondness for them.
Despite that, he and Wight spent this week building a double-chamber Randall to bring to the beer fest. Whitewall will be pouring their Truck Nuts porter through a mixture of coffee, chocolate and cherries.
"It does bring in new clientele," Wallner said. "It can be a gateway for people who are curious about beer."
The genesis of ideas for Randall beers come from anywhere. Wallner received a sample of roasted coffee beans from Camano Island Coffee Roaster a few weeks ago. They then added local chocolate from St. Rita Chocolates in Marysville and Washington-grown cherries to the mix.
"We knew we had to do something," Wallner said. "I'm a big fan of chocolate-covered cherries, so this seemed like a good fit."

Randall beers at Everett Craft Beer Fest
Saturday's Everett Craft Beer Fest will feature more than 100 beers from 30 Washington breweries. Many of those beers will be poured through Randalls. Here's a list of the Randall beers on tap:

i've reviewed before. for a change i subbed a vegetable medley of yellow and green squash, red pepper, mushrooms, red onions, and fresh corn kernels cut from the cob before adding. i stir fried, added a little water and covered the pot for 2 min and the veggies were just crisp tender, i used hoisin sauce and pignoli nuts. equally delicious. i served with roasted sweet potato and avocado tomato salad with lime cilantro dressing.
Good quick weeknight meal. I doubled the sauce as suggested by previous cooks and served over noodles tossed with sesame oil.
Absolutely my go to recipe when I am in the mood to make Chinese food. You can change the meat, the vegetables, the type of nut and it is still fantastic. Last night I used steak, asparagus and onion, and pine nuts. I always double the sauce ingredients in recipes these days, there never seems to be enough. And I like spicy foods, so I quadrupled the garlic, ginger, and hot pepper flakes. I have made it with pork, leeks and celery. Oh, and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds for a real treat!!
Fantastic recipe. I omitted hot pepper flakes and ginger (which I didn't have), substituted white zin for sherry, and added more garlic and soy sauce. Delicious and beautiful, a big hit here.
This is easy, cheap, and delicious. I made as written, except omitted the sherry and added a bit more soy sauce and sesame oil just because I didn't have sherry. It's great as written, and I think it would also be great with scallions and mushrooms. I'll definitely be making this again!
Delicious! Cooking for 1, I did half the sauce and about 1/4 everything else, heavy on the ginger and garlic. I will use it again for sure, with chicken and mushrooms.
This was delicious! The only thing I did differently was make double quantity of sauce due to the previous reviews and this worked well with noodles. Definitely making this again. A note for English cooks, peanut oil in England is known as Ground nut oil - it may save you searching the shops as I did!
Really flavorful and fairly simple. The only change I made was to add a couple of scallions along with the snow peas. This doesn't call for many ingredients that I don't typically have on hand so I'll make it often.
This is the best pork stir fry we have ever had. The only change I made was to double up on the sauce. The heat from the pepper flakes was just right. The meat was tender (I used pork tenderloin) and the veggies were tender crisp.
I changed a lot of things about this recipe and it turned out great, though I'm sure it would be delicious as written, too. I marinated sliced pork chops in the ingredients written minus sherry, plus shaoxing cooking wine and some rice vinegar. I also added a large spoonful of peanut butter to the mix. I used canola oil instead of peanut oil and used a mixture of bell peppers, onions, broccoli, zucchini, and mushrooms in place of a bell pepper and snow peas. I left out the cashews (hence the peanut butter "replacement). My Chinese boyfriend, an experienced stir-frier himself, loved it.

he told me that the home had nothing to do with palm harbor and it was some outside company and i was on my own.
he said the people who sold me the home was baters properties and i needed to talk to them.
i asked him why he said it was palm harbor when selling it to me and he said i just assumed that. so why would he be selling me something that was not from a palm harbor location if he works at palm harbor.
i now have to pay $3000 to replace an air conditioner and i am letting everyone know to never buy a home from him.

The Badè Museum of Biblical Archaeology and the Oriental Institute at the University of Chicago present "Our Work: Modern Jobs – Ancient Origins" now through December 2016.
About the exhibit: Our Work: Modern Jobs – Ancient Origins, an exhibition of photographic portraits, explores how cultural achievements of the ancient Middle East have created or contributed to much of modern life. To show the connections between the past and today, artifacts that document the origins or development of professions such as baker, farmer, manicurist, brewer, writer, astronomer, or judge in the ancient world are paired with a person who is the modern "face" of that profession. The resulting photographic portraits represent the diversity of Chicago residents, ranging from ordinary workers to local luminaries. The portraits are accompanied by commentary on the specific contribution of the past and remarks from the modern representative, resulting in fascinating new insights into how members of the public view their relationship to the past. Learn more here
This exhibit will be on display at the Badè Museum now until December 2016!
The gallery is open to the public on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at 10am-3pm (except throughout June and July). Contact the museum at 510/849-8907 or email@example.com for group tours, reservations, and more information.

BoxNation, Top Rank Ink Exclusive Output Deal
BoxNation has agreed to an exclusive output deal with leading boxing promoters Top Rank which will see the channel continue to air the world's best fights.
'The Channel of Champions' is living up to its name after reaching an agreement with the American promoters to show all events which are available to the UK, live and exclusive on the undisputed home of big time boxing.
The agreement will start next month when BoxNation airs Mexican superstar Juan Manuel Marquez's battle with the skilled Mike Alvarado on May 17th, before Filipino hotshot Nonito Donaire moves up to featherweight to challenge Simpiwe Vetyeka for his WBA Super world title on May 31st.
The deal with Top Rank will ensure that BoxNation continuously delivers the biggest and best bouts, and comes hot on the heels after the channel secured the two biggest draws in boxing in Manny Pacquiao and Floyd Mayweather.
BoxNation has a jam-packed schedule over the coming weeks, starting with Carl Frampton's bout against Hugo Cazares tonight, before Pacquiao takes on Tim Bradley next weekend, with Mayweather's monster May 3rd card against Marcos Maidana the jewel in the crown.
Further top names on the channel include IBF world champion Bernard Hopkins as he looks to unify the light-heavyweight division against WBA Super title holder Beibut Shumenov on April 19th, Amir Khan against Luis Collazo on the Mayweather bill and knockout king Adonis Stevenson defending his WBC light-heavyweight belt against Andrzej Fonfara on May 24th.
Plus, in other exciting news for BoxNation viewers, the channel has secured the rights to the WBC heavyweight world title eliminator between Chris Arreola and Bermane Stiverne on May 10th.
The pair do battle at the Galen Center in Los Angeles, to see who will the man be to take on the hammer-fisted, brash-talking, all-American sensation that is Deontay Wilder.
With the prize a shot at Vitali Klitschko's recently vacated WBC crown, both Arreola and Stiverne will be ready to leave it all in the ring, with BoxNation being the only place to see how the heavyweight tale unfolds over the coming months.
With Tyson Fury taking on Dereck Chisora on July 26th, on boxing's number one pound-for-pound channel, BoxNation is the home of the heavyweights, with only one set to emerge as the rightful heir to the Klitschko throne.
To subscribe to BoxNation for only £12 a month (plus a one-off registration fee) please visit www.boxnation.com.

Banned aid agencies warn of disaster in Somalia
NAIROBI, Kenya Aid workers and residents in Somalia are expressing outrage after the militant group al-Shabab banned 16 aid groups from its territory, a decision officials say puts tens of thousands of people in danger.
Tens of thousands of Somalis have already died from drought and famine-related causes this year, and the U.N. estimates that 250,000 people still face starvation in a country plagued by violence.
Somalis expressed sadness and anger Tuesday at al-Shabab's decision. Al-Shabab on Monday ordered UNICEF, the World Health Organization and the Danish Refugee Council, among others, to leave.
UNICEF spokesman Jaya Murthy said thousands of children could die if its operations in Somalia are stopped.

THE final song written by Bee Gees singer Robin Gibb, recorded using an iPad, is to be released on an album of previously unheard recordings.
The track, called Sydney, prompted tears from Mr Gibb and his wife Dwina, from Thame, when he wrote it as he looked back at his early life in Australia.
It was recorded in August 2011, just nine months before his death after a lengthy period of ill health.
Other songs from the album, called 50 St Catherine's Drive, were recorded between 2006 and 2008.
Widow Dwina, who compiled the tracks with son RJ, said: "Robin composed this late at night, in August 2011, at our home, The Prebendal.
"He cried when he wrote it, and I wept when I heard it."
The album, named after the address of the home in which Mr Gibb was born on the Isle Of Man, is due out on September 29.
It will also feature a new version of the Bee Gees song I Am The World.

The Centre for Women's Studies and Gender Research, established in 1987, at Monash University brings together expertise in feminist social sciences and humanities research.
The Centre fosters research and teaching collaborations that address women's equity and produce knowledge about women's lives and status in society, and the dilemmas and contradictions in gender relations, gender equality outcomes and sexualities in all societies. The gender studies stream within the Sociology teaching program, and the collaborative research activities of the Centre are all informed by the belief that all social processes are 'gendered', and that feminist analysis and knowledge is crucial in understanding social processes, power and participation.

Lynch's TD run shook ground
Published: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, January 11, 2011 at 10:16 a.m.
SEATTLE — Marshawn Lynch's 67-yard touchdown run that clinched Seattle's upset of New Orleans in the first round of the NFL playoffs may be remembered for more than the half-dozen or so broken tackles.
It shook Qwest Field and the ground around the stadium — literally.
John Vidale, director of the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, says that a seismic monitoring station about 100 yards west of the stadium registered seismic activity during Lynch's fourth-quarter run that clinched Seattle's 41-36 victory.
Vidale says he was inspired to look at the seismic graphs after watching a video posted on the Internet from the upper deck of the stadium and noticed the shaking as Lynch completed his TD run.
Vidale says the shaking lasted about 30 seconds and then faded off for another minute.

I am thinking of a way to display the most popular posts on my blog. Is it possible to do either of these with this plugin:
A. A sidebar widget that displays the title of the most popular posts based on thumbs up rating.
B. A sort functionality on the homepage that will display the most popular posts based on thumbs up rating. Currently, on the homepage of all WordPress blogs, the posts are displayed by date of post. However, I would like to offer my visitors the option to read the posts based on popularity.
Are either of these possible with this plugin?

Britt Festivals will partner with South Stage Cellars in Jacksonville for the second annual Rising Stars competition, in which local musicians compete and the public votes on their favorite. Applications for the contest are now being accepted.
Artists interested in applying to Rising Stars 2013 can start the application by sending a music link and photo to Porscha Schiller at email@example.com or by messaging South Stage Cellars on Facebook.
Application forms can be picked up at South Stage Cellars' tasting room in Jacksonville. There is no entry fee.
The Rising Stars competition is open to solo, duo or trio acts in jazz, folk, classical, blues, country, rhythm & blues, bluegrass, flamenco, soft rock, a capella, contemporary or original music.

In the initial rounds, the public can vote for their favorite performer for $2 per vote. All voting proceeds will be donated to La Clinica. The final rounds will take place April 26 and 27, on the Britt stage, with the winner chosen by a combination of public voting and a panel of judges.
The Rising Stars 2013 winner will receive a monetary prize, and will perform on the Britt stage as an opening act in the 2013 season (pending artist approval). The first competition raised $7,000 for charity.

is going on. Does someone know something I don't about VNR. Down-down-down. Is a screaming buy or a sell? The Obama dividend tax rape does not affect this. The dividends (distributions) were always fully taxable.
Two hedge funds in conjuction with downgrade article from J. Cramers "boys" are doing the damage!
Sentiment: Hold
You'll notice it hit the bottom of the window (gap) and then bounced strongly. Bought three times yesterday at average of 26.08. I like the hedging so not worried.
Sentiment: Buy
I'd like an answer, too. Just bought a couple of weeks ago. Not my only O&G that's down. Whazzup?
Exactly....Oil and Gas are down...that kills the stock...be patient... O&G will come back and so will the stock... meanwhile sit back and collect the Divvy, as a small bonus while you wait...or better yet pick up some more while it is down...
Why fully taxable. VNR distributions are Return of Capital.
" VNR distributions are Return of Capital."
That's not really true.
Anyway the point is that there is tax deferral but by the time you sell, all those distributions have been taxed at full ordinary income rates (ie. higher rate than dividends). You get tax deferral not elimination (except for step up on death).
Hi Biker #$%$ and Wardsown:
Maybe I can point you in the right direction. If you haven't seen and read the VNR presentation they made Dec 4, 2012 at the Wells Fargo Conference in New York City. It is on the VNR web-site. I would suggest you download and read the presentation. my takeaway is that the current selling is an OVER-REACTION BY UNINFORMED SELLERS to current low Nat gas prices and probably compounded by the "Fiscal Cliff" Slide 24 shows that the hedging policy used by VNR favors lower Nat Gas prices such as we are currently having.
A lot of pertinant information packed into the presentation and since it was presented on Dec 4, 2012 it is very current.
If the world doesn't end on Dec 21, 2012 as predicted by the ancient Mayan Calendar or the Fiscal Cliff on Dec 31, 2112 ,I have and will continue to be a buyer at these and lower levels if the fundamentals don't change.
Good luck

"RE: What to do? Bad lens? Bad D7000 body?"
I know the lens has already gone back, but just a few comments for future reference.The 50 f/1.4 should produce very sharp images, but DOF is very small wide open. That makes it easy to miss focus. But you already know that. The other issue is the 50 f/1.4 is not at it's sharpest wide open. While you should use f/1.4 for fine tuning, it really performs much better at f/2-2.8. So getting sharp images requires a different aperture than fine tuning - and your test images should be a little soft at f/1.4.In comparison to the 18-200, the zoom has an minimum aperture of f/4 or so at 50mm. That means you are going to have a lot more DOF and many errors will be forgiven. The 18-200 may have issues at the extremes, but at 50mm it is in a focal length where it performs very well compared to any lens including the 24-70. AF is not perfect. AF accuracy can be viewed as a relative distribution of AF errors over a number of images. If your test equipment is precise, you'll see that every time you focus using AF, the result is a little different. There should be a concentration of AF results at the best the lens can perform, but there will also be a distribution of missed focus that includes some bad misses. There is a thread somewhere here by NatGeo photographer Daniel Cox with a link to his blog. He tested the D4, D800 and D600 AF on a moving dog in great light. With the D600 he only hit focus on 54% of the images - and he thought that was quite good. The D4 hit about 70%. All of the results were better than any prior Nikon camera.http://www.naturalexposures.com/corkboard/testing-the-nikon-d4-d800-d600-in-predictive-auto-focus/While it did not come up here, the center sensor is the one that performs best on Nikon cameras. The surrounding cross sensors perform slightly less well, and the other sensors less accurately still. This also applies to the amount of light required wide open - the center sensor is the one that focuses at f/5.6 or f/8 and other sensors may only provide focus at f/4.Phase detect AF is slightly less consistent and less accurate than the contrast detect AF of Live View. Live View will be better and more consistent, but it is slower - and not practical for some images. Still, Live View provides a perspective on what the lens is capable of delivering if properly fine tuned. Think of it as a baseline.There are a wide range of AF tests for different factors. You can test to fine tune the lens. You can test for performance of phase detect focus on specific AF sensors. LensRentals.com does most of their testing with the center sensor only - other sensors are not going to be as accurate and introduce many other variables.Stick with the 50 f/1.4 - it really is a very good lens in spite of the copy you received and issue you experienced.Eric BowlesNikonians TeamMy GalleryWorkshopsNikonians membership — my most important photographic investment, after the camera

I couldn't believe it, I talked to Mazda supervisors, at first they tried to say the dealer said it should not be under warranty, but after doing a conference call with the dealer and he again agreed that the missing welds were to blame, the Mazda supervisor would not back down and just keep restating their policy.
I think that it is amazing that they can sell you a truck designed to hold a lumber rack (it has the holes in the bed top for a lumber rack to fit into) not say anything about no warranty on the truck if you put on a rack, and not stand behind their truck when it is obviously missing a required weld.

Hi guys
I was fan of Ravenshield & Athena Sword back on the PC, so wanted to ask a quick question about the two Rainbow 6 Vegas games on the 360.
The thing that made Ravenshield & AS so tense and exciting was the fact that when you were dead, you were dead! Die and you have to sit out the rest of the round until one team wins.
Is it the same case in the 360 games, or is there a similar game option available?
If so then I'm going to buy them both. If not then are their any ex RS/AS players who would still recommend these games?
Cheers in advance!
When you create a server you have the option to put it in realistic, normal and casual (1,2,3 lives).
Not only is will change the number of re-spawn, but it will affect the number of ammo and frags as well.

The CCC women's basketball team fell to 2-10 on the season with a 29 point loss on the road to Manhattan Christian College, 91-62. The Crusaders raced out to a double digit lead early in the first half, but the Tigers switched to a press defense and forced the Crusaders into several turnovers late in the half. The Tigers turned those turnovers into quick buckets and trimmed the Crusader lead back to 4 at the break 36-40. In the second half the Tiger offense went cold and the Crusaders caught fire. As fatigue set in for the Tiger defense, holes began opening up and the Crusaders began to get easy looks at the basket. The game quickly got away from the Tigers and the Crusaders raced out to a 91-62 victory. Brooke Rhodes led all scorers in the game with 20 points before fouling out late in the second half. Krystina Powell was the other Tiger in double figures with 11. The Crusaders had 4 players score in double figures led by Sarah Wenger with 19. In the battle of the Hawthorne sisters, CCC's Sarah Hawthorne outscored younger sibling Rebecca, who plays for MCC, 9-7. The Tigers will be back in action on Saturday at home against Ozark Christian College. Game time is scheduled for 3 p.m.

Can you define these popular missing words?
The definition of "Tashon" Is creative in the mind but doesn't express it to other's. He keeps everything to his self and doesn't express his self to anyone. Its hard for you to earn his trust and once you break there is really no getting it back. He has an amazing personality but you have too look past his flaws too see them. He's faithful and cares for other's more than he cares for his-self. But he has a temper a very set off temper and he is very blunt with people. He has a gorgeous body and stays fit, he's good in bed and know's how too treat his women the right way. He puts other people before his-self and it seems to hurt him more than do good for him. But he is amazing and down to earth. There is no words to describe him but he is just perfect.
Tashon is amazing.

Andriy Kotelnik Ready To Retire, Plans Final Career Fight
By Ruslan Chikov
Former WBA junior welterweight world champion Andriy Kotelnik (31-4-1, 13 KOs), announces the imminent end of his boxing career. The Ukrainian fighter recently celebrated his 34th birthday. His decision was partially made due to health problems, but he also felt a lack of support to obtain championship fights. Kotelnik was the first man to beat Gavin Rees and Marco Maidana. He lost a decision to Amir Khan in 2009 and then a controversial decision to Devon Alexander in 2010.
Kotelnik wants to stage one farewell figh, either in the United States or Kiev, Ukraine.
"This year I determined the fact that my career is coming to an end. I do not lack the desire to train, but my old injuries manifest themselves [when I train]. As soon as I start training, [the old injuries] immediately return in my back, leg, and so on. I want to have at least one fight, either in America or in Kiev. If I do not get offers in the United States, then my fight in Kiev will be my last. This will be a ten round fight, a typical fight at the end of my career. I know my capabilities and I know what I could do to prove who the real champion of the world really is. But I do not have a manager who could help me [get those fights], I'm not able to do anything. I do not want to waste what I've worked for, for 25 years. I do not want to be someone's sparring partner or a [name] used [for] records." - declared Kotelnik.
I want to see him against Matthysee and Morales. And Bradley, but that's not as likely.Comment by bojangles1987 on 12-30-2011

So I got away with NOTHING! Not a sneak out. Not a goosey night. Not a tiny tad of criminal mischief. Nothing at all.
Frank, my then-boyfriend-now-husband, had no curfew and hadn't for years. He slept at any number of houses and crash pads, disappeared for weekends without letting his parents know, and kissed me until I agreed to join in with his fun. Kind of agreed.
Factor in a girlfriend with a raging conscience and a sense of proper human conduct, and even the baddest bad boy starts to squirm when various lifted trucks and jeeps start pulling into one-of-a-dozen's aunts' driveways minutes before a romantic dinner/movie date.
Frank shifted his eyes and took my hand, kissing my knuckles in that way he knew melted my heart. "Look, can you wait here for a few minutes? I'll be back soon, alright? Don't come out!"
I watched girls pull out lawnchairs and offer them to Frank's various male relatives, then sit, demure and cross-legged at their feet. There was a lot of stalking, pacing, phone calling, shouting, waving of arms, and clapping of backs.
It was a yard of shenanigan-experts preparing for a history-making shenanigan.
Frank finally came back to the room. "Don't be mad," he preambled, his hands up and his eyes wide. "I gotta stay here for a while."
I got exactly one night a week off from the grind of college and work, and I wanted a romantic date!
"Am I allowed to ask why, or should I get you a lawnchair and a beer and sit at your feet until you send me to fetch something else?" I sneered.
"What?! No!" He gathered me up in his arms and held me close. "No. I want to be with you. Trust me. You have no idea. But my brother…"
"What? What happened?" I demanded, trying not to get woozy over the delicious smell of his aftershave.
"He got into it with this guy, and the guy is going to beat him up."
I could tell from the tight set of his lips that this was the highly edited version of the story. "Okay. Call the police."
He kissed me, an obvious attempt to divert my attention. Awesome. Wonderful. Not working. I turned my head away and he sighed. "Can't."
"Uh, no. No one has to smash anyone's headlights in."
"So, what are you going to do? Beat him up?"
"Yeah." Frank looked relieved. Finally, I had seen the light!
"You're going to wait for this guy to come here, then gang up on him and beat him up because he said something that made your brother decide to bash his taillights in?" I stared at Frank. He smiled.
"Take me home, now," I demanded.
Franks entire face fell. He argued. He cajoled. He begged, but it fell on deaf ears.
"Take me to dinner, or take me home. But I'm not sitting here and watching you idiots brawl, and I'm not waiting for the cops to come and arrest all of you for it."
I couldn't believe I was in this situation! I had waited my entire life to see shenanigans close up, and here I was, right in the thick of a big, broiling one, and I was calling uncle.
"We're going out?" I was shocked.
"I'm not choosing a backyard brawl over you," he said.
"Frontyard," I corrected. Then I kissed him. And thus began the bitter end of Frank's long, twisted shenanigan history. All for a girl who wanted to see it fisthand, and wound up with no taste for it.
At seventeen, Trinity McCabe has already made enough mistakes to fill a lifetime. Especially the one where she got high, drove a car, and almost killed a dog. And then let her friend Aidan take the blame. She's clean now and desperate to fix the messes she's made, but first she's going to have to get out of her pajamas.
As Trinity struggles to stop sleepwalking through life, she faces the painful, tingling sensation of waking up. It's sometimes embarrassing (she really didn't want to have lunch with Aidan's mom), sometimes terrifying (group therapy is beyond intimidating), and sometimes, amazingly enough, pretty romantic (who'd have though Aidan would be such a great kisser?)
