Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Local writer combines passions for travel, chocolate into tasty world tour
Everybody loves travelling for pleasure, but a recent trend sees more and more people travelling with a purpose. One of the best ways to combine purpose and pleasure is gastronomic tourism. There are wine tours along the California coast and whisky tours of the Scottish highlands.
If Manitoba travel writer Doreen Pendgracs has her way, chocolate tourism will be the next big thing.
A professional freelance writer who focuses on travel, Pendgracs has just released her fourth book, Chocolatour: A Quest for the World's Best Chocolate. The independently published book chronicles a four-year chocolate odyssey that took her from the Amazon jungle to the Alps of Switzerland. And this is just the first volume.
"It became a massive project for me and one that I think will consume the next 10 years of my life," says the Winnipeg-born Pendgracs, who spoke to the Free Press from her home in Matlock. "And I willingly agree to that. I can't think of a more sumptuous topic to research and investigate and share." (You can follow her project at chocolatour.net.)
Pendgracs starts by looking at where cocoa is grown, which is always within 20 degrees of the equator. She explains why chocolate has historically been precious and expensive. "Growing cacao is extremely difficult," she points out. "It's all hand done."
"Everything is harvested by hand, and then the pods are cut open by hand, the beans are extracted by hand, then put into bins to ferment and then to roast. There's a lot of labour involved."
Then Pendgracs heads to Europe. (The second volume will deal with the Americas and the Caribbean, while the third volume will examine Africa, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.) She looks at how chocolate is crafted by chocolatiers (who start with couverture chocolate made by companies like Ghirardelli, Callebaut or Valrhona) or by chocolate makers (who begin with unprocessed cocoa beans). She rhapsodizes over chocolates created with Piedmont hazelnuts, sea salt and extra-virgin olive oil, with lemon peel and chiles, with Iranian pistachios and Earl Grey tea.
After offering such tempting descriptions, it's only fair that Pendgracs advocates giving in to chocolate cravings (in moderation). In support, she cites the winningly titled book Why Women Need Chocolate by nutritionist Debra Waterhouse. It turns out that eating pure dark chocolate releases endorphins, a natural anti-depressant.
And there are other documented health benefits. "I was amazed at just how good chocolate is for us," Pendgracs relates. "As children we were always told chocolate is bad for our teeth, for our skin, for our weight." And while you don't want to gorge on sweet chocolate candy, if you stick to pure chocolate (70 per cent or higher cacao) and limit the quantity, chocolate can be part of a healthy diet.
"Chocolate has more antioxidants than any other power food on the planet," Pendgracs points out. It gives red wine a run for its money.
Speaking of wine, we're used to wine snobs talking about "terroir," that unique combination of soil, weather and grapes that gives a wine its specific character. Chocolate fanatics are starting to think this way, too, with a new emphasis on "origin chocolate" from specific growing regions. Cacao from Madagascar has fruity undertones, for example, while Caribbean beans tend to be lighter-bodied.
Each artisanal chocolate makers also brings his or her own style, something Pendgracs discovered as she was researching the book.
"I would be trying to understand the essence of what they're doing," she says, "and I soon came to realize that just like with chefs, they put a piece of their personality into what they're creating."
Pendgarcs offers lists to help readers find the right chocolate match. Are you "Sophisticated, Elegant?" Or "Exotic, Sensual?" Or maybe "Playful, Adventurous?" Pendgracs has a chocolate maker for you.
If you're looking for artisanal hand-made chocolate in Winnipeg, you can check out the work of Constance Popp. But you can also find good bar chocolate from some big-name labels, Pendgracs confirms.
"I just had a heyday at the Lindt store," she says, which offers "excellent quality at affordable prices." Pendgracs particularly loves the company's dark chocolate with sea salt.
Good-quality chocolate bars have a one-year shelf life, but when it comes to chocolate truffles or bonbons, "the good stuff only has a shelf life of one to three weeks."
And it's too fragile to be shipped. This is where the travel comes in. If you really want to get good great chocolate, Pendgracs says, "you have to go to the source." In March 2014, she'll be leading a real-life choco-tour, taking a group of 20 Winnipeg women to Switzerland, a country where each citizen patriotically consumes an average of 9.5 kilograms of chocolate a year.
Closer to home, Pendgracs is also helping to organize a chocolate dinner at McNally-Robinson's Prairie Ink on Nov. 2. Chef Karen Nielsen will use chocolate, savoury and sweet, in every course.
Pendgracs is careful to point out that Chocolatour is not a cookbook. She likes eating chocolate, she says, more than she likes cooking or baking with it. But there are a few standout recipes, as well as some sage advice on chocolate pairings.
Mostly the book is about love, Pendgracs says -- "my love for passionate people, my love for travel and my love for the gastronomical world," which all come together, deliciously, in chocolate.
The Simplest Chocolate Dessert Ever
Good-quality bar chocolate
Wine, beer, coffee or tea
Just serve together. This is a simple way to end a meal and encourage people to linger over coffee or wine. According to Pendrgracs, you want to pair like with like. Deep, dark chocolate goes well with a big, bold red wine like a Malbec or a Bordeaux. With milk chocolate, she advises a rosé or a white Zinfandel. With white chocolate, consider champagne or a sparkling white. To pair chocolate with coffee, look for coffee with chocolatey undertones, like a Tarrazu from Costa Rica.
Tester's notes: Absolute proof that sometimes the simplest things are the best.
Guinness Chocolate Truffles
1 kg (2 lbs) dark chocolate (O'Connor uses a 72 per cent cocoa Royal French chocolate), chopped
400 ml (1 3/4 cup) heavy cream
100 ml (7 tbsp) Guinness Extra Stout Beer
Zest of one orange, finely grated
Cocoa powder or desiccated coconut to coat the truffles
In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, add the cream and Guinness and bring just to a boil. Add the chocolate and grated orange zest. Mix together until the chocolate is fully melted. Leave the chocolate mixture until it is cool to the touch, but not set.
Take generous teaspoons of the mixture and roll in your hands to form small round truffles. Dust in cocoa powder or coconut. (O'Connor prefers the coconut as it adds a lovely flavour to the truffles.) Set in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
-- From executive chef Justin O'Connor, of the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin, Ireland
Tester's notes: First of all, I halved the recipe, and even then I blew my food budget to buy 500 grams of good dark chocolate and ended up with a dangerous amount of truffle temptation. Unless you're making truffles for a crowd, you might want to do the same.
You can find an utterly charming how-to video in the recipe section of guinness-storehouse.com. The chef in the video uses a double boiler. If you opt to go without it, make sure to use a heavy-bottomed pot over low heat with constant stirring. I ended up chilling the melted chocolate mixture in the fridge for a little, and then letting it sit on the counter just a bit to finally get a ganache that was soft enough to work with but firm enough to hold its shape. And you do want to work quickly or your hands will end up covered in warm chocolate.
Pendgracs points out that the truffles will be as good as the chocolate you start with, so try to use good-quality chocolate, chopped quite fine. I used Godiva 72 per cent cacao.
Jade Mountain's Bittersweet Chocolate Rum Mousse
340 g (12 oz) bittersweet chocolate, chopped
30 ml (2 tbsp) spiced gold rum
60 ml (1/4 cup) butter
60 ml (1/4 cup) espresso coffee, divided
5 ml (1 tsp) granulated gelatin
400 ml (1 3/4 cups) whipping cream
In the top of a double boiler, combine chocolate, rum, butter and 30 ml (2 tbsp) espresso. Melt over barely simmering water, stirring constantly. Remove from heat while a couple of chunks are still visible. Cool, stirring occasionally, to just above body temperature. Pour remaining espresso into a metal measuring cup and sprinkle with the gelatin. Allow gelatin to "bloom" for 10 minutes, then carefully heat by swirling the measuring cup over a low heat. Do not boil or the gelatin will be damaged. Stir mixture into the cooled chocolate and set aside. In a chilled mixing bowl, beat cream to medium peaks. Stir one-quarter of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture to lighten it. Fold in the remaining whipped cream in two batches. There may be streaks of whipped cream in the chocolate, and that's fine. Do not overwork the mousse. Spoon into martini glasses and chill for at least one hour. Garnish with chocolate swirls. (Serves 4.)
-- Courtesy of Chef Allen Susser
Tester's notes: Not a traditional mousse made with eggs, but it's nice and creamy, and the gelatin helps stabilize the whipping cream. Pendgracs reports that Chef Susser's key to making a dynamite chocolate mousse is spiced rum. He likes to use the Kweyol Spiced Rum, produced by adding whole pieces of local spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon and vanilla.

Congrats to everyone who participated in modding here .
Man, that's really a big amount of files. Quick calculation: Assuming 50% of this is here on the server (e.g. the big mods are uploaded elsewhere), and assuming every file has 5 mb, then this makes 50 GB of units, leaders, maps and other stuff. Neat. And proud to be a modder here at CFC . |

Utility nixes rate hike, salary increases
Rather than raise rates by one-half cent per kilowatt-hour, the directors voted to suspend the $100,000 per month contribution the district makes to its rate stabilization fund for the next three months. According to a financial report dated Nov. 30, the district holds $4.5 million in the fund.
The proposed rate increase — authorized through the district's Power Delivery and Cost Analysis mechanism — came before the board and the public for the first time since the policy was revised last month. Previously an ad-hoc committee comprised of LMUD management and directors approved PDCA rate increases without board approval or public comment.
The board established the PDCA in December 2005 "to help the district protect its customers from the volatility of purchased power and the unpredictable costs of state and federal mandates."
The district has raised its rates under the PDCA five times since its inception — on March 1, 2006, June 1, 2006, Sept. 1, 2006, Dec. 1, 2007 and June 1, 2008.
Currently residential customers pay 14 cents per kilowatt-hour, a $10 facilities charge and mandated tariffs, charges and taxes.
During the public comment portion of the meeting, LMUD customer Debbie Stampfli said the district should look at cutting costs rather than raising rates. She cited a number of areas where the district could cut costs including hiring an employee to trim trees rather than using an outside contractor, discontinuing the Ruralite magazine, streamlining the district's billing procedures and eliminating items such as the district's coffee service, Christmas party and novelty gift items.
"I'd be willing to give that up if my rates didn't go up again," Stampfli said.
When the rate increase came up on the agenda, Director Jay Dow suggested the board not add the $100,000 per month to the rate stabilization fund. Instead, he said that money could be used for the district's costs as an alternative to a rate increase.
"Maybe we could hold off for the next few months and try not to increase the reserves and hold the rates," Dow said.
Director Fred Nagel cited the difficult economy and said it would be nice to not have to raise the rates now.
"It's a tough call," Nagel said.
Dow said energy prices are falling, and asked controller Bill Stewart if he had any future power purchase projections from the Western Area Power Administration — the agency that purchases and schedules most of LMUD's power purchases.
Ray Luhring, LMUD's general manager, said the district could request that information.
Dow said the board needed that information before it made a decision to raise the rates.
Stewart said not putting money into the rate stabilization fund might not be in the district's best interests.
He said since Sept. 30, 2006 the district has taken "fairly large money hits on past decisions." He added that the rate stabilization fund was part of the district's operating reserves and the board had directed the reserves be replenished at the rate of $1 million per year.
Director Wayne Langston said customers use more electricity in the winter, but he wanted to get the ratepayers through the winter before possibly raising the rates in the spring.
After the board unanimously agreed not to raise the rates and suspend the contribution to the rate stabilization fund, Stampfli said, "I'm proud of you guys."
Salary increases
The board tabled Luhring's recommendation to raise management salaries by up to 5 percent until a later date. According to Luhring's recommendation, the district's management has not received a raise since January 2007.
Luhring's salary is set by contract with the board, and was not included for a possible wage hike. Luhring sought raises for 12 management personnel.
His recommended increases would have raised the district's management payroll by a total of $37,531 per year. He noted all the increases were within the district's approved salary ranges.
"The management team overall has shown a commitment to reducing costs, paying close attention to the board-approved budget and managing within those give parameters," Luhring wrote.
"I hate to be a Grinch," Nagel said, citing the "poor timing" of Luhring's request. "I have a real hard time supporting this" during the current economic slow down.
Dow agreed, and said management was asking for a raise at the same time it was asking for a rate increase.
Langston said the district's rates had increased by 2 cents over the past two years and the possibility of raising the rates another 2 cents in coming years "scares the living hell out of me. It's time to tighten down, not spend more."
President Bud Bowden and Director Matt Lavacot acknowledged the tough times, but said management deserved the increases because their wages had not gone up in two years.
"We need to honor our word to our employees," Bowden said. "We budgeted for this raise."
But Dow said including a line item for a pay increase in a budget is not a promise to employees.
"I don't represent the employees," Nagel said. "I represent the constituents and the community."
Luhring acknowledged management employees at the district were well paid, and said, "I'm extremely proud of these guys. They've done a great job. We'll live with whatever decision the board makes."

Not surprisingly, we're swooning over the new Miss Dior Autumn/Winter 2012 campaign. It stars the gorgeous Mila Kunis who is fronting the handbag line for her second year in a row. Good on ya Mila! The teaser has a 60's French film noir feel to it and shows Mila surrounded by photographers being mad a fuss of - so not that different to her real life then. Filmed in black and white, Mila looks proud and in control amongst the pap chaos, looking seductively at the camera.
There's a lot of buzz surrounding Mila's look for the campaign but the fact she's been papped out and about with hottie Ashton Kutcher has made her even more of a news story of late (lucky you Mila, we're a bit green-eyed about that). In a recent interview Mila spoke of her love for Dior, saying the designs are "very classic, very consistent, really elegant, and really beautiful." Too right.
Mila's beauty look for the campaign recalls a 1960's Audrey glam and the Paris couture house confirmed to us that it was created by renowned make-up artist Tracey Levy, who has worked extensively with Mila in the past (including on That 70's Show). The basis of the look is a dark and heavy purplely-brown smoky eye, with black liner that extends from the top and bottom lashes to form a contemporary cat-eye. Oh and that strong, lean brow is bang on trend, along with those contoured cheeks and nude glossy lip. We love! But our real obsession is her sexy hair-do - she sports a shoulder length bob-cut with her top layer back-combed, pulled into a Barbarella bouffant (we told you in this week's issue that it's all the rage) and held back by a large black bow clip. Divine.
Along with this elegant new campaign and Black Swan last year, Mila has danced to the top of her game but she remains very down to earth about the new title. "I appreciate the attention, but I don't think of myself as particularly attractive," she said, "I do have a pretty sharp sense of humour though and I think that has helped me." It's all going on for Mila: a new campaign, a new beau and a hot new beauty look, everything seems to be going swell in the world of Mila. Watch the video and be enthralled...

Former Team Member Chris Lundy wins PA Cross Country Meet Masters Title
Courtesy of National Masters News
Livingston & Lundy Dominate PA CC Meet
Pacific Association USATF Cross Country Championships San Francisco, California, November 21st
This association meet also serves as the Western Regional and brings the best distance runners in the Golden State together. The course was muddy and the weather alternated between drizzle and sun with some wind. The men's race covered 6.1 miles and the battle for the top spot was really a two mile race. Mike Livingston, 45, of the Asics Aggies and Andy DiConti, 48, Compex Racing ran together during the first two mile loop. Then Livingston began to build a lead and finished first in 33:22 to 34:16 for DiConti. Third was a battle to the wire between Jeff Adkins, 49, Golden West Athletics Club and Gary Gellin, 42, of the Asics Aggies. Gellin had a good 20 meter lead with about 150 to go but Adkins closed the gap and edged by at the finish to get third, second in the Pacific Association, 34:46 to 34:47. Jeff Hongo, 45, Asics Aggies, was 28th among Pacific Association runners in 37:21, but appears to have hung on to capture the season title.
Winning senior men was another Asics Aggie, Kevin Ostenberg, 50, who ran 36:49 to finish ahead of Tim O'Rourke, 52, of the Tamalpa Runners, 37:10. O'Rourke's second place finish clinched the season series title. Don Porteus, 64, of the Tamalpa Runners ran 41:19 to win the Super Seniors race and capture the season title as well. Topping Veteran Men and capturing the season title was Hans Schmid, 70, Tamalpa Runners, with a time of 44:28.
The individual meet title for masters women was a battle between Pacific Association runner Christine Lundy, 40, Impala Racing Team and Southern California Association champion Tania Fischer, 44, The Janes Elite Racing. Lundy took first to win both the association and Western Regional championship running 24:14 for the 4.1 mile courser and sixth overall. Fischer took second in 24:36. Going into this meet Valerie Young, 44, Tamalpa Runners and Holly Hagerman, 42, of the Impala Racing Team were tied for the season title as both had 735 points in five races and had traded wins with each other. Young was tops this time finishing 4th among masters and 3rd in the Pacific Association running 24:47 with Hagerman 6th among masters and 5th in Pacific Association in 26:20.
Christine Kennedy, 54, Tamalpa Runners was the senior winner running 26:58 followed by teammate Karen Steele, 53, in 27:13. Kennedy won her sixth consecutive race to capture the season crown. Jo Anne Rowland, 62, Impala Racing Team took the super senior race and finished an undefeated season to win her groups season crown and Katie Martin, 71, Tamalpa Runners, won the veteran women's race running 42:21 and also completed an undefeated season.

Winter Solstice Celebrations
Next week is the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year and one of the most religiously significant events of the natural world. Long ago, well before our ancestors created written records, we lived more closely aligned with nature. Before the advent of clocks and electricity you got up with the sunrise and for the most part went to bed with its setting.
Arising with the morning Sun every day one cannot help but observe that the daily ratio of daylight to night varies through the course of the yearly cycle. During the periods of shorting daylight, with the scarcity of food and warmth that ate autumn brings, it is easy to attach a spiritual significance to the annual solar cycle and the return of the Sun.
The turning point when the days stop getting shorter is a point of hope. Even though the full winter seasons lays ahead, it too will pass as the Sun's rays grow in strength and duration. Individual people, kingdoms and empires all come and go, but the Sun is powerful beacon that always returns.
Discerning the Sun's path and period helped motivate our development of mathematical and astronomical knowledge. Recognizing it as one star among the countless others in our universe helped us acknowledge the truly unique and precious thing that the occurrence of life here on Earth really is.
Celebrate the Winter Solstice this year by keeping a light or candle burning through the longest night. When you light it take a moment to ponder the clockwork like path of the Earth in orbit around our star, and the special significance the return of warmth and sunlight means to all life here on Earth.
Happy Solstice.

You'll rarely find a site as breathtaking and majestic as Niagara's American and Horseshoe Falls.
Available 24/7
Located in a strait between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, and shared by the United States and Canada, the Falls have become a popular vacation spot for families and honeymooners alike.
This natural wonder is one of our planet's most famous waterfalls. With heights of 176 feet, and a colossal 150,000 gallons of water crashing down per second, the roar of the Falls and the gently cool mist impresses young and old alike.
You can view the Falls year round from observation points on both the American and Canadian sides of the Niagara River. But a visit to the Falls on a summer night will reveal a dazzling display of lights and fireworks.
Between the American and Canadian Falls you find the small uninhabited Goat Island, which is accessible from the American side and offers beautiful views of both falls.
In addition, during the spring, summer and early autumn months, the iconic Maid of the Mist boat tours take visitors right to the base of the Falls for an up close look at their beauty and power.

The company is now using active ultrawide-band tags to track motorcycle production and parts ninventory, ensuring that the proper components are installed, as well as automating orders for
components of the motorbikes it produces in what may be one of Italy's first active ultrawide-band (UWB) RFID applications since the country's government amended a law in early 2008 to allow for use of the technology. Italy had previously blocked the use of UWB RFID on the grounds that it could interfere with frequencies utilized by the Italian military.
The RFID application is an extension of a pilot Honda Italia implemented in mid-2007 (see RFID Revs Up Honda Italia's Motorcycle Production). During that pilot, the company affixed passive 13.56 MHz high-frequency (HF) tags to the motorcycles' chassis and certain components, in order to track the assembly process.
Angelo Coletta, Honda Italia's project manager, says the company was happy with the system designed for the first pilot, which it dubbed Ariana. However, workers were bothered by the antennas that had been installed close to the production line to enable interrogation of the passive HF tags, which have a short read range. In addition, he says, since employees had to confirm that tags were successfully interrogated during the production steps, the RFID application essentially added an additional step to the existing work process.
To eliminate this extra step, and to move antennas farther from the production line, Honda Italia switched to active tags in April 2008, launching a project it calls New Ariana, with IBM serving as systems integrator. The vehicle manufacturer now temporarily installs a UWB active tag made by Ubisense to each motorbike's chassis. Thirteen ultrawide-band RFID readers form a tag-reading zone around the production line.
"We found that active tags were more operator-friendly," Coletta explains. The system enables Honda Italia to assure that the proper parts are built onto the right motorcycle frames. For instance, the company must make sure bikes shipped to the United Kingdom have the correct headlight design for that nation, where vehicles drive on the left side of the road instead of the right, as they do in the United States and continental Europe. Honda Italia can also utilize the RFID system to trace the production of individual motorcycles. Such historical production information is essential if a bike needs to be recalled for safety repairs.
Containers of components are now fitted with both passive HF tags that support the ISO 15693 standard and offer 1,024 bits of memory, and active UWB tags. The active tags allow operators to easily locate a particular container within the production zone, while the passive tags are used to hold such critical information as the supplier code, part number, lot number and date of production. By tagging containers, Honda Italia can ensure that parts are not mixed up, and that the proper components are installed on the appropriate frames.
In the first step of the production process, workers attach an active RFID tag to the chassis of each motorcycle to be produced, then use a handheld interrogator to save that bike's VIN number onto the tag's memory. The tag transmits its signal every second to the 13 antennas surrounding the 80-meter-long (262-foot-long) production line, which has 38 individual stations at which different production steps are performed.
"From this point on," Coletta says, "we know exactly where the frame is on the production line." Honda Italia has production lots, or production runs, of 60 units (60 motorbikes, for instance), so it decided to place passive and active tags on only the first and last containers of large parts for each lot (that is, container number 1, which holds a headlight, and container number 60, which holds the last headlight for that lot). All individual containers holding smaller parts, such as 60 cables, are fitted with both a passive and an active tag. These containers are tagged at Honda Italia's warehouse, located in the same industrial area in the city of Atessa as the production facility. Passive tags are linked to active tags in the database. After tagging, the containers are moved to the production facility as required.
When production begins on a new lot, a worker takes one of that lot's tagged containers of components and moves it to the production zone, where the active tag is read automatically. The passive tags are not interrogated in the production zone—they are simply used to store additional information and link that data to the active tags via the database. The company tags containers with active tags so that constant reads help continually confirm that the correct components are being assembled on the proper vehicle. If a worker attempts to bring the wrong active-tagged container to the production line (for instance, the incorrect part for a bike under construction), an alarm will trigger.
As a motorcycle's chassis moves through each production position, employees add components. If shifts change, Coletta says, or if managers suddenly opt to alter production to a different model, the system makes it easier and faster to hand the work over, or to switch production, since managers always know the whereabouts and status of each bike in production. "If we have to produce a different model all of a sudden, we already know which parts are in the production area," he explains. "We only have to go get the missing parts."
The system is set up to automatically calculate the time required to finish a production run, based on the times the active tags on the bikes were interrogated. Before Honda began employing RFID, managers had to call down to the production line to obtain an estimate of when a particular run would be finished, or else manually determine an estimate by hand.
At the end of the line, active tags are removed from the bike for reuse, and production information is stored. With the data collected from the active and passive tags, Honda Italia documents which individual motorcycle frames were built with which part lots. "A customer can find out when his motorcycle was built," Coletta states, "and which parts were used to build it." The system also gives Honda Italia the ability to automate orders for parts, he adds, since it calculates the estimated time at which production runs will be completed.
Before the first Ariana project, Honda Italia utilized bar-coded labels to manually identify chassis. The company scanned the labels, then wrote down production information by hand. Honda Italia uses and reuses approximately 3,000 passive and 300 active tags per year. It has tagged most containers with low-cost passive tags, but purchased only enough higher-priced active tags for daily production. As such, active tags are reused quickly after moving through the production line, and are removed from containers and bike frames.

Do you cook with fresh herbs?
I must admit to using dried herbs and spices more often - such an easy way to add flavour when I'm cooking for the family but I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can add fresh garden herbs to my summer salads.
Full of flavour, vitamins and a great way to add taste without extra calories!
Most Greek households have fresh mint drying in the sun - we sprinkle it over our Tzatziki
but fresh mint is also used a lot especially boiled and seeped as tea for an upset tummy (good way to lower cholestrol too, so I've heard...)
Not only are herbs used for cooking, medicine, perfume and healing they also look gorgeous in the garden and in the kitchen - I do love the look of herbs in planters - this old can with simple thyme plant has that french rustic look that I love - a few of these on your kitchen windowsill would look great.

I experienced a slight skin reaction from Amala treatments.
The living plant energy in our treatments has been formulated to work in harmony with the skin. Some customers may notice slight, short term skin reactions as they begin integrating Amala treatments into their skincare rituals. This is a normal result of the detoxification process that occurs with a shift to 100% natural, organic products. As the skin adjusts to the benefits of organic, whole plants, it may experience a mild, temporary reaction to the purity of Amala treatments. Customers experiencing longer-term skin reactions (more than four weeks) should discontinue use of Amala and consult their health care professional.
Why do Amala product fragrances vary in strength?
The fragrances in Amala skincare treatments are 100% natural blends of organic essential oils and pure whole plant extracts. Like fine vintage wines, each batch of our fragrance blends is as unique as the year's plant harvests. Our product fragrances may gently evolve over time, and are often their most potent when first applied to the skin. We know it's the habit of our customers to try skincare treatments on their hands and immediately smell what they've tried. It's important to remind our customers that 100% natural fragrances behave completely differently from their synthetic counterparts. Our fragrances soften on skin a few moments after application. The more immediate strength of our fragrances when product is first applied is an important indication of both the freshness and potency of our whole plant ingredients.
Is all Amala packaging recycled and recyclable?
We strive to use environmentally responsible materials whenever we can. To the extent that it's possible, our paper, packaging and shipping materials are eco-friendly and created from post-consumer and post-industrial materials. We support and collaborate with like-minded printers who use organic ink and paper suppliers who use wind power and 100% recycled paper. In some cases, we are not satisfied with the materials and methods available, and are actively pursuing alternatives that meet our standards.
Why doesn't Amala use biodegradable plastic for its packaging?
We think biodegradable plastic has a lot of potential, and we continue to work with our Research and Development department to figure out how we can integrate it into our packaging. Thus far, our tests have concluded that biodegradable plastic actually starts to break down when in contact with our pure, 100% natural formulas. It's not that our formulas are too aggressive – it's that are formulas are so natural, the plastic "thinks" it's already in contact with the earth and should begin its decomposition!
Why do Amala treatments contain alcohol?
Alcohol is a crucial element in our formulas because it helps keep our 100% natural essential oils and extracts stable. We use organic alcohol derived from wheat, which is absolutely pure and safe for your skin. We use the lowest possible levels of alcohol that we can, while still maintaining the stability of our formulas.

Dr Pepper Preps New Campaign for New YearPLANO, Texas -- Dr Pepper is getting ready to launch its latest advertising campaign just in time for the new year. The "/1" campaign, or "one for one" will feature real people with real one-of-a-kind stories. According to the Plano, Texas-based beverage company, each spot in the "/1" campaign will follow an inspiring individual to reveal, through a series of descending statistics, why he or she is truly one of a kind, including:
"Now, in an age of YouTube stars, Tumblr and Twitter, people more than ever are putting their individuality out into the world," said Leslie Vesper, director of marketing for Dr Pepper. "That's why the '/1' campaign features real people with real stories that make them like no one else -- in hopes to inspire more people to live their one-of-a-kind lives, a sentiment that Dr Pepper has shared since its beginning." The first two "/1" spots will debut on Jan. 1 and feature the personal stories of Mayer and Mayfield. Dr Pepper will also release a 60-second montage ad that celebrates the "one of a kindness" in all of us to run during the Discover BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7, televised nationally on ESPN. The "/1" campaign was created by Deutsch LA and will be supported by an integrated marketing campaign that includes national television and online media.

Sacred Time and the Search for Meaning
In Sacred Time and the Search for Meaning, author Gary Eberle contemplates how humans' view of time has evolved throughout history, how we came to measure time, and why we feel especially starved for it now. Eberle seeks to rediscover a renewed sense of meaning in life through looking for ways to enter the realm of sacred time or "sabbath time"—where we can reconnect with the slower, deeper rhythms… Read More

More copies of this ISBNDrinking Arak Off an Ayatollah's Beard: A Journey Through the Inside-Out Worlds of Iran and Afghanistanby Nicholas Jubber
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:An engrossing blend of travel writing and history, Drinking Arak off an Ayatollah's Beard traces one man's adventure-filled journey through today's Iran, Afghanistan, and Central Asia, and describes his remarkable attempt to make sense of the present by delving into the past. Setting out to gain insight into the lives of Iranians and Afghans today, Nicholas Jubber is surprised to uncover the legacy of a vibrant pre-Islamic Persian culture that has endured even in times of the most fanatic religious fundamentalism. Everywhere—from underground dance parties to religious shrines to opium dens—he finds powerful and unbreakable connections to a time when both Iran and Afghanistan were part of the same mighty empire, when the flame of Persian culture lit up the world. Whether through his encounters with poets and cab drivers or run-ins with "pleasure daughters" and mujahideen, again and again Jubber is drawn back to the eleventh-century Persian epic, the Shahnameh ("Book of Kings"). The poem becomes not only his window into the region's past, but also his link to its tumultuous present, and through it Jubber gains access to an Iran and Afghanistan seldom revealed or depicted: inside-out worlds in which he has tea with a warlord, is taught how to walk like an Afghan, and even discovers, on a night full of bootleg alcohol and dancing, what it means to drink arak off an Ayatollah's beard.

Check these out, too...
Well, the time is finally here! Right after this year's MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, June 3, season 2 of Teen Wolf will premiere as part one of a two-part special! The second part premiering the following night, June 4, during the show's normal time slot of 10 pm ET/PT.
Obviously everyone should be checking this season out, but if you're still not sure if you're going to, here's why we think it's a total must!
More of the cute boys you love
Tyler Posey, Dylan O'Brien, Tyler Hoechlin and Colton Haynes lead the cast of hot boys in this show. They are often broody, often in the middle of the action, but always attractive. We love these boys and can't get enough of them on our TV screens.
Werewolf vs. Werewolf vs. Werewolf Hunter action
The action in this show is nonstop, between werewolves fighting other werewolves and werewolves fighting werewolf hunters. We love all the fighting scenes and the drama. Plus, the muscles on the guy werewolves don't hurt either.
Forbidden romance that's getting a bit less forbidden
It's the old story of boy loves girl and girl loves boy, but boy and girl shouldn't be together. And just like how most of those stories end, they end up together and we couldn't be happier! Allison, daughter of a big-time werewolf hunter, and Scott, a werewolf, have fallen in love and don't see any way out. At the end of last season, they decided they would give their relationship a good try and we can't wait to see what happens next.
Allison and Lydia continue to dress to impress in the middle of a werewolf breeding ground
It's usually dark in this show and the characters are usually near—or in—the forest, yet Allison and Lydia are always dressed like they are in the pages of a magazine. We want to steal every single one of their outfits and can't wait to see which season 2 pieces we'll quickly wanna mix in with our own wardrobes!
Stiles brings more of his sarcastic humor
One of the funniest characters on the show without a doubt is Stiles. He is sarcastic and has perfect timing with his comments. The other characters, like Scott and Derek, are often so serious in the midst of all the show's drama. Stiles' humor makes the show just that much better.
Be sure to catch part one of Teen Wolf's season 2 premiere this Sunday, June 3, at 11 pm ET/PT, right after the 2012 MTV Movie Awards!

Laser Light
Terror Claws
I want both, but if I had to choose only 1 then I would choose Laser Light Skeletor because I don't own him in the vintage line due to his rarity.
MY TOP 5 MOST WANTED MOTU Classics:
Ice Armor He-Man, Rio Blast, Multi-Bot, Ninjor, Sagitar
I know 2 angels: their names are Jedi_Kunle and Mikethedrummer!
Worship the Snake Goddess!
The Blade sword colors are wrong!
these results are outrageous! LL skeletor is one of the two last vintage figures ever to be made to the original MOTU line.
Filled with details, unique sculpt and features, the link between vintage and NA, and yet these results suggest people would rather buy yet another skeletor iteration with a pink armour and gloves?
TC would not be a refreshing figure at all, i seriously hope he's given the least priority!
I think most people don't have an emotional connection with LL skeletor. sports bra aside, Terror Claws skeletor really captured my imagination as a kid, LL skelly, i saw cardback images I wasn't fond of his head sculpt's radical change but I looked for him still. I wanted him but I wasn't as excited as when i saw other variants.
CHECK OUT MY BRAND NEW WEBSITE for my Akil and Saltfish comic strip, more to come soon!
I've got everything that I need, right in front of me! Life's a happy song people!
Fear is faith in failure
i can understand many USAers not feeling emotionally attached to this figure as it was an euro exclusive, thus not being part of many's childhood, STILL, when you think about TC skeletor (which btw is one of the vintage figures i like and own proudly), you can probably imagine how it will turn out:
a pink armour
extended gloves
extra dinosaur piece
This is mainly an accessories pack! Do we really want (for now) another snake man-at-arms like variant? Just think of what the 4HM could do with this design:
Would love to see something different for a change, RAM-MAN for example was such a refreshing figure
Why can't we have both?
By the Power... and For the Honor of GRAYSKULL!!!
HE-MAN and SHE-RA Rules!!!
"Frustration is only felt when one realizes there is an option!"
- Ancient One (BeastMaster: The Series; Fifth Element)
Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from MAGIC!
- Clarke's Third Law
hopefully we will
but i've been looking forward for LL for waaaaaaayyy too long, i really hope we can see the lasers in MOTUC
I voted for LL Skeletor, mixed with NA Skeletor. They are almost the same in a different scale
Behold the gaseous stench of Skeletor's breakfast burrito!Robot Chicken dixit
yeah, i made this comparison in my blog, but i'm not sure this could be a combo figure like trapjaw\kronis, there are a lot of similarities but also a main colour diference in the chest piece, boots etc

Giants quarterback Kerry Collins managed a pained smile, even through his disappointment and exasperation after Monday night's game, when he realized just how many times this season he had repeated the same explanation after a loss. He even apologized for the repetition.
After he threw two interceptions and lost a fumble in the Giants' 19-13 loss to Tampa Bay, Collins was stuck for anything new to say. He threw the interceptions as a byproduct of trying to make something happen, he said.
He said he might have forced the throws, but when a team is stuck in a nightmarish downward spiral toward 4-7, that kind of thing happens.
''When you lose that aggressiveness, that's when you really have problems,'' Collins said. ''There's no question I made some bad choices. But I go into a game trying to see it and throw it. A couple of times what I saw wasn't what I needed to see, but I have to continue to be aggressive.''

When On The Floor came out in early January, I liked it, but I didn't expect it to do much. Boy was I wrong, the song became her first real hit in years, all without hitting #1 on the Hot 100, though it did on the Dance Charts. It was a formula she'd used before, catchy chorus, guest rapper, ear-candy. And she didn't stop there, she pulled out Lil' Weezy for a feature on the Stargate jam I'm Into You. The bright, summery single didn't fare quite as well as it's predecessor, peaking just outside of the Top 40, but it did hit #1 on the Dance Charts, just like OTF. Then came the promotional singles Papi and What is Love?, the latter of which is one of my favorites off the album. WIL? failed to make any impact, except on my heart, but Papi went on to become her 3rd single, also reaching to top of the Dance Charts. Though it hasn't done much on the Hot 100 (aka peaked at 96), her recent performance at the 2011 AMA's and promotional use of the song in Fiat commercials (in which she stars) may change that.

According to a new study, to be published in the Journal of Trauma's July issue, led by Dr. Donald Redelmeier, Director of Clinical Epidemiology and a practicing physician at Sunnybrook and Women's College Health Sciences Centre, risks are too high for pregnant women during the summer, amounting to approximately one major trauma case per day in Canada.
"What this implies is that the summer surge in trauma rates is not caused by alcohol or reckless behaviour alone, as pregnant women generally stay away from these activities," said Redelmeier, who is also a Professor of Medicine at the University of Toronto. "Everyday lifestyle has a larger impact on the individual's safety."
The study looked at all pregnant trauma patients admitted to Canadian hospitals between April 1, 1994 through March 31, 2001. During the seven years 2,618 pregnant women were admitted for major trauma, amounting to about one in every thousand pregnancies and about 150 extra events in the summer. This 12 per cent increase in the summer is noticeably larger than the nine per cent increase that occurs for the general population.
The study found that injuries sustained by pregnant women were due to common activities. This indicates that pregnant women cannot eliminate risk by avoiding obvious hazards like extreme sports and alcohol. The consequences of their injuries were substantial with about 40 per cent of women requiring surgery and ten per cent staying in hospital for more than a week.
"Treating pregnant women who sustain major trauma is very worrisome for both the patient, family, and health care professionals," says Redelmeier. "Because most medications and surgeries have uncertain risks for these patients, prevention is a much better solution."
"Many people undervalue established methods of

Linda Woodhead - Director of the Religion and Society Research Programme and Professor of Sociology of Religion at Lancaster University - draws from the findings of the Religion and Society research programme to explore the dis-embedding from traditional community relationships to new communities formed from choice rather than inheritance.
In the wake of political and social reactions to the financial crisis, austerity measures and the riots of 2011, debate continues to determine the role of the individual and society. The 2012 Lent Talks consider the relationship between the individual and the collective. Is each person one alone or one of many? Is it the human condition to be self-contained or to belong to the family, the tribe, the congregation, the nation? We live in groups but our most intense experiences are incommunicable. Jesus shared a communal last supper but he died an outcast, abandoned and rejected by his people, his disciples and (apparently) his Father.
Speakers of this year's talks include the journalist and author Martin Wroe, who will explore humanity being at its most divine when working in community; John Lennox, Professor of Mathematics at Oxford University, explains how his encounter with God is enhanced through science; Tariq Ramadan, Professor of Contemporary Islamic Studies in the Faculty of Oriental Studies at Oxford University, examines the philosophy of the individual and how this is neglected in many areas of Islam; Dr Gemma Simmonds CJ, explores the agony of the individual in society.
The Christian season of Lent is traditionally a time for self-examination and reflection on universal human conditions such as temptation, betrayal, abandonment, greed, forgiveness and love.

Arundel Brewery History
Above: Majestic Arundel Castle with mist rising from the nearby River Arun. Present day planning regulations would probably make it difficult for a brewery to set up in such an historic location, so we opted instead for a unit on nearby Ford Airfield Estate, which is to the south of the town. Photo by Steve Clements.
Arundel Brewery was founded in 1992 (see footnote). It was the historic town's first brewery for 70 years, and marked the rebirth of a tradition dating back more than 200 years. The brewery has been under new ownership since 2004, and continues to improve its range of core brands and seasonal beers. In addition, it also brews a range of occasional beers that are available in selected months (see the Beers page for further details). In 2005, the company began to introduce a range of bottled beers, which currently consists of the following:
- Sussex Gold, ABV 4.2% – our popular golden ale
- ASB, ABV 4.5% – Arundel Special Bitter, the bottled version of draught Special Bitter
- Old Knucker, ABV 5.5% – a dark old ale
In July 2010, the brewery doubled the size of its premises by moving into the industrial unit next door, and then three months later installed a brand new, 20 barrel stainless steel brewing plant which was necessary to cope with the ever-growing demand for its products. Next in line was the cool store, which was doubled in size in July 2011.
Arundel's Brewing Past
Like many country towns, Arundel used to possess a number of breweries, the most important of which was that belonging to G.S. Constable & Sons Limited. This business was founded in 1845 at Littlehampton, and operated breweries in both Littlehampton (The Anchor Brewery in the High Street) and Arundel (The Swallow Brewery in Queen Street). However, trade directory entries for the Swallow Brewery are even earlier and date from 1783 – the year of the French Revolution.
Constable's really put Arundel on the brewing map in 1917, when the company switched its two breweries to specialised production: Littlehampton went over to manufacturing mineral water, while Arundel handled all the brewing. Constable's became part of a bigger firm in 1921 when it merged with G. Henty & Sons of Chichester to form Henty & Constable (Brewers) Limited, but this signalled the end of brewing in Arundel. The last brews were mashed in about 1922, when all production was transferred to Henty's Westgate Brewery in Chichester. Henty & Constable closed down in 1955, but are still remembered fondly by a few older locals.
Despite Constable's brewery being the oldest in the town, the name 'Arundel Ales' had been taken by another company, Lambert & Norris Ltd., whose Eagle Brewery was located in Tarrant Street. Lambert & Norris was founded in about 1828 as Puttock & Co., but was taken over in 1910 by Friary, Holroyd & Healy's Breweries Ltd. – a large company based in Guildford, which went on to become Friary Meux Ltd. via the usual process of mergers and takeovers. Friary, Holroyd & Healy kept the Eagle Brewery in operation until at least 1915, but then left Constable's to maintain Arundel's brewing tradition on their own. Nowadays, little tangible evidence remains of these bygone breweries, bar the occasional enamel sign or frosted glass window. These relics are out there for the observant to find, but are extremely rare.
Visitors to West Sussex often wonder why the county had so many breweries, but the beer was safer to drink than the water! (It was boiled for at least 1½ hours.) Country areas received their public water supplies much later than the big cities. For example, Henty & Constable's home town of Chichester did not receive a public water supply until the 1890s, and this helped to keep beer sales high. However, the start of the 20th century must have been a very difficult time for country brewers, when families began to rely on safe drinking water instead of low-alcohol products such as Luncheon Ale or Family Ale. Factors such as these, and the growth of ever larger brewing companies, conspired to keep Arundel without a brewery for 70 years, but now local brewing is back!
Footnote: The original Arundel Brewery was set up in 1992 by John Ryan and Stephen Lowson.
