By Stone Crusher
As the general election nears with some seventeen days before our version of D-day on 19th February, strange things would unfold as
desperation intensifies.
Many are saying that envy for the thriving businesses of La Qua and Otway/Bailey would continue to prevail as one way or the other quite a number of us may succumb to the results very shortly after the winner is announced.
Stone Crusher is appealing to our people to take warning and do not get too caught up in this excitement to the point of attracting death on the night of or soon after the announcement of the results.
At the end of the day, one party must win and the other must lose and Grenada must go on and life continues.
Should the NDC be given the opportunity to govern with its good governance agenda – good for them! Should the NNP be returned after four and one half years in opposition and take Grenada back on the track to corruption and nepotism – well that is a matter for the people to live with.
What Stone Crusher knows is that things are not going to be the same as during the 1995-2008 period when there was no international crisis affecting Europe and North America especially the United States of America.
By the time this edition is published, Governor of our Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) – Sir Dwight Venner – would have delivered his annual overview of the Bank's performance and by extension the economies of the Eastern Caribbean Currency Union (ECCU).
One ought to have realised that strict fiscal management would have been responsible for the better performance of Grenada in the Union thus taking a hint that all is not lost with us after all and that we are on the right track if only we
would realise that our collective will is needed to take us through the other side of this crisis, exacerbated by the vaporisation of our savings and proceeds of loans which we carelessly stashed in SGL, CLICO, BAICO and to a certain extent in Capital Bank and Building and Loan.
A recent release by the United States Secretary of Homeland Security, in consultation with the Secretary of State, has identified 59 countries whose nationals are eligible to participate in the H-2A and H-2B Visa programs for the coming year.
We ought to be happy and jubilant that the list published recently includes one new addition: Grenada.
Accordingly, this notice is effective January 18, 2013, and expires at the end of one year with the usual annual review.
Serious scrutiny of the list reveals that Grenada is the first and only member of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), which has been included for such prestigious consideration.
Prime Minister Thomas' good governance agenda has earned this for Grenada at a time when God knows our people need it most.
Grenada now joins Jamaica and Barbados in the English-speaking Caribbean to be among the 59 countries – the world over to gain such privilege.
President Obama is sending a message to the people of Grenada on the eve of this important and historic elections.
Under NNP and Keith Mitchell, the Canadians imposed a visa restriction on Grenadians because of the amount of crooks and criminals taking up refuge in Grenada.
President Obama is allowing Grenadians to get a special type of visa to come and work in the United States. NNP spent 13 years in power and could not get this treatment from the U.S government.
After only four-and-a-half years in government, Prime Minister Thomas who is trusted and respected by the Americans has been rewarded so that all Grenadians can benefit.
The Green Gambler and Crew should be kept far away from the seat of power because their style of leadership and methods might once again open the doors to more crooks and criminal elements and Grenadians might feel the wrath of the U.S government including the withdrawal of this special visa for our people to take advantage of certain job opportunities in the United States.
Is this something the country would wish to gamble with by mindlessly putting back any administration led by Keith Mitchell?
Stone Crusher is sure as day that if the good governance agenda is changed on February 19th, Grenada would surely lose its respect in the international arena and more hardship would prevail upon our people who would be boxed in with no place to go for temporary ease of the pressure.
On another note – many people who did not like the "red nastiness" and refused to support the NDC as long as he was inside are today talking loudly about their joy to be able to support the NDC once again.
They are not surprised that he and his gang are today showing support for the NNP whose leader they had the worst things to say about during the period they were in the NDC.
The box head casino man seems to forget that it was Keith Mitchell and Gregory Bowen and company who sidelined him in the Ministry of Works. Box Headman, who sent Police to remove you from the job as senior Engineer on the Eastern Main Road project?
After this strange creature told the entire nation about the sins of the leader of the NNP, he is today behaving in a manner and suggesting to the same nation that NNP is now better than NDC.
It is no wonder that some people in St. Patrick's are saying that the Casino Box Head man is helping to hand out NNP T-shirts especially in the St. Patrick's constituency where Boatswain is running.
Talking about casino, we all know where Uncle Tilly stands on that issue – right or wrong. What we do not know is where the "green gambler" stands on it.
We are seeing indications that he might just favour it but does not want to upset the churches. All those who fell out with Uncle Tilly on the Casino issue are now working in collusion with the NNP in the elections.
The casino money men from Chicago might just be flooding money into the NNP coffers for the elections.
What the country should demand of the "green gambler" is that he ought to tell the church leaders where he stands on the issue considering that you don't want to tell the nation and refuse to answer the local media when they quiz you on casino gambling. Come out and tell us, please!
The other one time NDC character who is running around campaigning for the NNP against "Trix" is the one that KCM once described in Parliament as a "mad man" and "a rapist".
This characterless individual told some people that if any of the two major parties gave him a commitment that they would drop the charges against him, he would campaign with them in the election.
So it NNP looks like NNP agree to the proposal ands the man is doing a number on Trix for Emmalin in St. Andrew South-east.
Is the Wild One coming back as a Special Prosecutor to take charge and drop the case against the man? The current DPP is a good man and will do no such thing.
This election is a referendum on corruption versus good governance and the people will choose. They have to remember that there is a consequence attached to either. One we can live with and the other we can't.
This nation ought to understand and appreciate that several of our people are encircled by their un-repented sins, which come back to haunt them time and time again.
About twenty years ago the brother of one of the NNP candidates was arrested and charged by the Police with murder fur using a cricket bat and hitting him in the head and taking his life out of him.
It was alleged in the village that someone either hid the bat or burnt it altogether and so the police were never able to recover the bat to enter it into evidence.
Did the police question any of the NNP Candidates with being a possible accessory to the crime? Michel Baptiste did ask a pertinent question this week – what are the criteria used by Dr. Mitchell and NNP to select their candidates for general elections.
KCM, are you not afraid that the missing bat might surface in Parliament? Parliament is a place for Honourable Men and Women and not for characters with a checkered history and past.
The characters of Uncle Tilly, Franka, Randall, Merle and others are never in question?
The "green gambler's" choice of caretakers reflects "who" he is as a person far less the challenged nature of his character.
Isn't it ironic that when Dr. Mitchell entered politics in 1972 that he ran on the side of the Massa types (GNP) and this is probably his last election and he appears to have gone back with that type again?
Dr. Mitchell must understand that Massa days are done and that he must
realise that these people are using his NNP as a vehicle to enrich themselves on the various deals they are likely to preside over as government ministers.
Armond Williams of the GULP softened Gordon Renwick of the GNP in the St. George South East constituency when Gairy's GULP took home 13 of the fifteen seats on the run for independence.
Keith Mitchell ran against the might of the economics scholar – George Hosten in the same North West losing badly.
Stone Crusher thinks it's unfortunate that so many people seem so incensed by the thought of Mitchell attracting Massa types in his midst when he promotes himself and his party as champions of the poor and vulnerable.
One woman in particular recalls when her sister used to work for one of "that type" and the madam used to force her to call their eight-year-old son "Master".
While speaking one could have felt the vitriol in her tone for the memory of that experience, especially as she says, Gairy smashed that and the revolution cremated it and yet for all Mitchell wants to reactivate it again.
Tell Keith, the people would not forgive him for seeking to bring back Massa days in Grenada. The electorate must reject the two Massa candidates of the NNP in the elections. Massa people must not rule this country at all. This is 2013 and not the pre-1951 days.
Mitchell knows that the Massa type don't genuinely like him. But he is prepared to use them to get their money to take him where he wants to get – which is back in power.
Stone Crusher visited a rum shop and was amazed at the things that were being said inside the place because of their close connection with the two major political parties
One of them said that a top man in the force is making telephone calls to his relatives in Uncle Tilly's constituency, and telling them to vote for "Man" of the NNP who is running against Uncle Tilly.
When one of the persons asked him why he wanted her to vote for "Man", the high up police officer described Uncle Tillly in words that this column would not like to repeat.
This is the same police officer who was trying to get the lady's father to throw in a word with Uncle Tilly for him to become the Commissioner of Police.
Stone Crusher also heard that another top one who retired not too long ago is running up and down in a St. Andrew's Constituency like a horse for the NNP Candidates.
He told a few friends that the NNP has promised to make him the Commissioner of Police. Another resigned Superintendent of Police, the former Special Branch Chief bragged a few years ago whenever he comes back to Grenada from the U.S is to become the Commissioner of Police.
One wonders how many police officers the NNP are planning to make Commissioner of Police. The Public Service makes provisions for only one Commissioner of Police at a time – and not two, three and four.
The NNP has not even been given a mandate as yet, and they are showing their true colours to want to dismantle the stability of the Police Force so that a political appointee could be put in place to demoralise police officers all over again.
It would appear that supporters of the "green gambler" at all levels within the Public Service are at their work and behaving as if this were their Christmas Eve.
Stone Crusher understands that assignments were dished out to see to it that no cricket comes to Grenada around the election time so that the "green gambler" could chastise Uncle Tilly and Congress for losing the cricket matches, and public servants were supposed to have been paid late again.
In these instances, two top public service operatives with close ties to the "green gambler" were supposed to deliver on these bastardly acts in order to make the government look bad in the eyes of the electorate.
God alone knows where else the NNP have deployed their operatives within the service to sabotage the current administration in the lead up to the elections.
Green Gambler, is forgetting one thing – Uncle Tilly used to hold bible studies with the Jehovah Witnesses on a regular basis and knows a lot about prayers.
Uncle Tilly will prevail because of the nightly vigils of the Church people – because they believe like many people in Grenada that 'you can't keep a good man down".
Good will always triumph over evil.

I am about to buy a Stag and a Pullet, I have been looking at several farms from Richard Kelly ( https://www.coalminermugs.com ), Johnnie Jumper ( https://www.johnniejumperfarm.com/prices.php ) and AC Compound ( https://arcompound.com/gamefowl-farm ), and decided on AC. Would this be the best choice in your opinion? and if so what would be a good breed that they have to start out with? Mug, Grey, Kelso, Hatch? Thank you.

How to Clean Your Electronic Cigarette
Electronic cigarettes have all sorts of advantages over tobacco, but they do need some minor maintenance to keep them in top working order. If you neglect them they'll eventually start to go downhill – you'll get less vapour, the taste will deteriorate and you can even damage your equipment. The good news is it isn't hard to keep everything in great shape. Some simple cleaning will make sure your gear keeps working and you get a great vape every time.
Like any electronic device an e-cig will last longer if it's kept clean, so give all your gear – batteries, atomisers, mods, the lot – a regular wipe to get rid of dust and pocket grime. Wipe off any spilled liquid right away, before it finds its way into the electronics. It's worth taking a regular look at the atty connector, too. Many designs tend to leak tiny drops into the connector, so give it a daily wipe with a tissue or cotton wool. With mods – especially mechs – it's worth giving the inside of the battery compartment an occasional wipe too. While you're poking around inside check the contacts. If they're tarnished that can reduce the voltage being delivered to the coil, so keep them clean with some metal polish and a soft cloth.
Atomisers themselves need some maintenance, too. Even if you use clearomisers with disposable heads it's a good idea to keep things clean. Drip tips and mouthpieces should be wiped with a damp cloth at least daily, and washed through with hot water two or three times a week. Tanks and clearos should also be washed out weekly to get rid of any traces of old liquid. You can extend the life of heads by occasional dry burning – with the tank empty press the fire button in a series of short pulses, to burn any residue from the wire and wick.
If you're using more advanced gear, like rebuildable atomisers, they need slightly more attention. An ultrasonic cleaner is a good investment; dismantle the atomizer, put all the parts in the cleaner with some cleaning solution and let it vibrate for 20 minutes. That will clean any grease, old juice or caked on gunk from the parts. Once the cleaner has done its job just rinse it all off and reassemble.
If you're using a genesis style rebuildable it's a good idea to clean the wick every time you wrap a new coil. The best way to do that is simply to burn it clean. Take the wick out and run it through a gas flame until the juice soaked into it burns off and it's glowing brightly. Then quench it in cold water, let it dry and fit it back in the atty. Do that regularly and a mesh wick will last for months. Silica wicks can be kept going by dry burning until any residue burns off and leaves the silica white again.
Keeping your vaping gear clean only takes a few minutes a week, and it's well worth the effort. After all this is stuff you put in your mouth, so you want it to be as hygienic as possible. You'll also get a much better vape, of course, and that's what it's all about.

Hello experts,
I have a priority issue between rows and colums while using EPM Formatting Sheet for changing their colours.
I gave priority to column formatting and defined a format for TIME and Parameter dimensions(both dimensions are in the column axis). Columns are greying out according to spesific Parameter members or TIME members. For example , if parameter P001 appears in the colums axis , formatting uses that selection. But if parameter P002 appears in the column axis , formatting uses TIME dimension's member to change column format.
My problem is , in addition to all these column members , row members will effect formatting also. But column formatting will remain the same without effecting one another's format.Only for spesific row members, row formatting will have the priority (not for all row members because of the effect of column formatting)(screenshot is attached to explain better what I am trying to attain)
Hi Selin,
Can you share your formatting sheet?
I have fixed your tag, please select more careful next time.

De Amerikaanse priester Robert Barron werd op dinsdag 21 juli 2015 door paus Franciscus benoemd tot hulpbisschop van het bisdom Los Angeles. Barron is de oprichter van de stichting Word on Fire Catholic Ministries en presentator van de DVD-reeks Catholicism, die eerder dit jaar ook door Betsaida werd uitgegeven.
Naast zijn catechetische bezigheden was Barron sinds 2012 werkzaam als rector/president van de University of Saint Mary of the Lake/Mundelein Seminary nabij Chicago.
We wensen de aanstaande hulpbisschop veel zegen toe en we hopen dat zijn nieuwe verantwoordelijkheden hem niet zullen verhinderen om zijn zeer gewaardeerde catechetische werk voort te zetten.
It was with enormous surprise that I received word of my appointment as auxiliary bishop of Los Angeles, but it is with a humble and joyful heart that I accept it. The Church of Los Angeles—the most populous in the United States—is energetic, diverse, and creative. Over the years, I've visited many times, including multiple trips to the Los Angeles Religious Education Congress in Anaheim; most recently, I was in the Archdiocese for a lecture at Thomas Aquinas College. So though I can't claim to know it well, I have been able to taste and see some of its richness.
The late Francis Cardinal George—the spiritual grandfather of Word on Fire—was a mentor and friend to me. The mission closest to his heart was the evangelization of the culture, bringing Christ to the arenas of media, politics, law, education, the arts, etc. I can't think of a more exciting field for this sort of work than Los Angeles, which is certainly one of the great cultural centers of our time.
Many might be wondering what this means for the important work of Word on Fire. The short answer is that it will certainly continue! Through the ministrations of Fr. Steve Grunow and his extremely gifted staff, we will keep bringing you my regular articles, sermons, videos, and media resources.
We have so many projects in the works, including our new film and study program on God and atheism, titled The Mystery of God, and our beautiful new documentary series CATHOLICISM: The Pivotal Players. Those projects will continue as planned with more to come in the future.
I am grateful to all of you who follow and support Word on Fire, using our content to form yourselves and share the Catholic Faith. I thank God each and every day for you.
It is a blessing for me to work with you to introduce people to Jesus Christ and invite them to share all the gifts he wants his people to enjoy.
Please pray for me as I begin this new adventure under the Lord's providence.
Bishop-Elect Robert Barron

When Can I Feed My Baby Solid Food?
If you are a parent, you have most likely asked important food-related questions about your baby. Because of babies' immature bodies, digestive systems, and eating milestones, it can be difficult to determine what foods your baby should and shouldn't eat, as well as when your baby can eat those foods.
Provided your baby doesn't have a dairy allergy, cheese can be introduced at 8 months. Cheese is a great way to provide Baby with calcium and protein.
|OK cheeses
|Not OK cheeses
|Cheddar, American, Colby, Monterrey Jack, Cottage Cheese, Romano, Parmesan, Mozzarella
|Feta, Brie, Blue, Camembert, Roquefort (These cheese are typically non-cultured and could contains a bacteria that is harmful for babies.)
Egg yolks are recommended for baby at 8 months of age. A long standing rule is that egg whites should be introduced later, around 12 months. However, most pediatricians are now saying that whole eggs are an acceptable food for an 8 month old, provided the baby is showing no signs of any allergies. You can still consult with your baby's doctor before serving egg whites.
Peanut Butter, Peanuts and other Nuts
Peanuts (and other nuts) is another food that has been thought to be avoided until 12 months of age. This rule is also changing. If Baby's doctor has given approval, you may introduce peanut butter and other nut butters (such as almond butter) after 8 months.
It is a good idea to thin the peanut butter with water or formula for easier swallowing. Do not offer Baby spoonfuls of peanut butter or whole/chopped peanuts and nuts, as they are choking hazards.
You can introduce yogurt between 6-8 months. It is wise to feed Baby plain yogurt or even Stonyfield YoBaby yogurt, as to avoid excess additives, such as sugar, gelatin, and starches. If you chose to use plain yogurt, you can add applesauce and other mashed fruits and veggies to make it more appealing to Baby.
Rice and Oatmeal
Brown rice and oatmeal are great first foods. You can start these between 4 and 6 months of age, though many pediatricians suggest waiting until 6 months. You can use store-bought baby rice and oatmeal, or you can make you own. (Place uncooked rice or oats in a blender or food processor. Add 1/4 cup powdered rice or oats into 1 cup boiling water and let simmer for 10 minutes. Stir or whisk continually.)
Try using steel-cut oats rather than rolled oats, and avoid using instant oatmeal.
Do not serve in a bottle.
Cheerios and Other Cereal and Crackers
You can give your baby finger foods, such as Cheerios and graham crackers, between 7 and 9 months of age. Be sure the cereal and crackers are easy to gum and are without sharp corners.
Because fish contain a large amount of Omega 3s and amino acids, it is a very important food for healthy diets. You can introduce thoroughly de-boned fish to babies after 8 months of age, unless your family has a history of fish-related allergies. In that case, wait until 12 months.
Avoid fish that contain high levels of mercury, such as swordfish, shark, king mackerel, and tilefish.
Fruits and Vegetables
Most fruits and vegetables can be cooked, pureed, then fed to Baby after 6 months of age. As your baby grows and become more accustomed to eating, fruit and veggie meals can become lumpier and lumpier until they are simply diced and served.
|All fruits, except for bananas and avocados, should be cooked before feeding to a baby under 8 months of age. If you start serving grapes as a "finger food" around 8 months of age, be sure to quarter them to avoid choking.
|Stall the introduction of broccoli, white potatoes, and asparagus until 8 months. Stall the introduction of spinach until 10 months, as this is one of the highest nitrate-containing foods.
Chicken, Turkey, and Beef
You can introduce meat to your baby after 8 months of age. Boiling is an acceptable way to cook your meat, but because of the loss of nutrients during this method, steaming or baking is recommended. After the meat is thoroughly cooked, chop it up and add to a blender or food processor.
It is best to avoid deli or processed lunch meats (including hot dogs) due to the added salt, preservatives, and nitrates.
Dried Beans, Lentils, and Legumes
You can start feeding your baby legumes around 8 months. Be sure to thoroughly wash, soak, and cook the legumes before mashing and serving.
At around 8 months, you can begin feeding a baby pasta. The carbohydrates are great for keeping your baby energized, and the pasta provides much needed nutrients.
In order to prevent botulism, refrain from giving your baby honey until 12 months of age.
Milk, Juice, and Water
Although they are not solids, these liquids are on the list of "should I?" foods.
Cow milk should be avoided until after 12 months old. Little baby bodies cannot thoroughly process the lactose and protein. The reason a baby can have cheeses and yogurt before cow milk is because the lactose is broken down and the protein reduced during the culturing of yogurts and cheese.
Water can be given in small amounts after 6 months of age. Any earlier and the extra water could affect the body's ability to absorb nutrients and even cause water intoxication. After a year old, Baby can drink as much water as he or she pleases.
Juice should be avoided until after plain water has been introduced. Always serve the juice in cups rather than bottles. It is recommended to serve juice sparingly and diluted.

Audi's Q7 continues to be one of the finest large luxury SUVs on the market. With a 6.0-liter V12 TDI that's available for Europe only, US buyers are offered instead a 3.0-liter TDI with up to 225hp and 406 lb-ft of torque. A 3.0-liter supercharged gasoline V6 is also available.
It was a bit worrying when Audi announced that they would be dropping the 4.2-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 in favor of a pair of 3.0-liter TFSI V6's tuned for different outputs. It made us think of the time, a few years ago, when Audi decided that the US didn't appreciate diesel enough to make it worth offering their monstrous 6.0-liter V12 TDI in the Q7. Truthfully, the 3.0 TDI we did get is quite a good engine, but we still feel as though we're missing out.
Well, it is true that the 3.0 doesn't offer quite as much horsepower as the engines it replaces, but you'd never notice. The difference is small, and the 3.0's Roots-type supercharger more than makes up for the smaller displacement. In the higher-output (333hp) trim, torque output is the same as it is in the engine it replaces, and in lower-output (272hp) trim there is a noticeable bump in torque over the old 3.6-liter V6. This torque is also very smooth in application, and that kind of thing is important in a vehicle weighing just shy of 5700lbs.
Helping with this smooth delivery of power is a new eight-speed automatic transmission, previously found only in the A8. This new transmission seems to have a much easier time finding the proper gear than the old six-speed did, especially when bolted up to the higher-output engine. When selecting the diesel option, you get the same 3.0 TDI as before, but now with the new eight-speed auto. With its 225 horsepower and 406lb-ft of torque, the TDI actually makes for a surprisingly capable off-roader, not that many Q7 owners are likely to take them off road.
The interior is, well, an Audi interior. That is to say it's fantastic. Spacious, comfortable, well appointed and well laid-out, we have no complaints on the interior. The exterior doesn't work quite as well, particularly the front fascia. Here the Q7 suffers in much the same way as its platform-mate, the Porsche Cayenne. In attempting to use styling cues from a much smaller vehicle, they have made a front end which seems incongruous with the rest of the vehicle. To date, the Volkswagen Touareg is the only vehicle to use this platform that isn't odd-looking in some way, and for some reason, the more you spend the odder it gets.
The Q7 is neither small nor light, and the handling does not disguise this. Driving the Q7 is quite a bit more enjoyable than driving a school bus, for example, but you will be aware of the vehicle's heft when behind the wheel. The $48,000 base price in keeping with what the competition is offering, and the option list is less of a license to steal than it is with certain other German companies. Fuel economy has been improved as well, so the Q7 will hurt less while you're standing in front of the pump than most of the competition.
We would have a hard time justifying the purchase of a Q7 in situations when the Q5 would do, but assuming you have the need for more room, the Q7 is a good way to go.

- Rate includes: All associated taxes. Some hotels charge extra fees for parking, cots, rollaways etc. Such fees can be confirmed on request based on your requirements.
- Payment Schedule:
- Deposit: 25% of the full amount is due WITHIN 7 DAYS OF CONFIRMATION to secure the booking.
- Final Balance: Invoice will be issued for the remaining balance 80 days prior to departure. PAYMENT IS DUE 70 DAYS PRIOR to departure. Failure to pay by 70 days may result in the auto-cancellation of accommodation by the accommodation provider or late payment fees.
- Bookings within 70 days: Full payment is required within 7 days to secure the booking.
- Variations: In some circumstances suppliers may have different payment policies to the above. Additionally some Early Bird deals require full payment by or soon after the book-by date. In these instances Scout will clearly communicate any variances prior to confirmation.
- Cancellation Policy:
- All deposits are non-refundable once received.
- For balance payments made within 70-45 days prior to the trip the deposit amount is non-refundable.
- No refund for total amount for cancellations 45 days or less prior to arrival and no-shows. In unexpected, unfortunate circumstances (family death etc) Scout will work to negotiate with the supplier for a full or partial refund, however this is not guaranteed. We recommend taking travel insurance to make sure you are covered. Cancelling due to weather, missed travel connections or lack of snow is not considered an unexpected circumstance and is one of the risks you must wear as part of taking a ski trip. Unless the supplier has a snow guarantee or weather cancellation policy, Scout will not refund any part of the package due to these factors.
- Variations: Please note that some hotels may have stricter policies (such as no refund within 60 days) and we are required to pass on these policies. We will communicate any varations to the above cancellation policy prior to confirmation of booking.
- Changes Policy:
- Once bookings are confirmed and deposit is paid service fees will apply for every amendment to existing elements, late final payment and travel document re-issue in addition to fees charged by suppliers
- In a few instances we purchase products through third party providers. If you change part of your package whilst at a destination, the 3rd party provider may have a different refund policy to that of the supplier in the destination. Wherever possible we will work to recover any refunds that come from a change at the destination, however we cannot guarantee it.
- Surcharges: Scout does not charge any additional fees for the booking. Prices quoted are for cash (bank transfer) payments only. Credit card payments (Visa or Mastercard only) will be subject to 1.8% surcharge.
- Booking Currency: Scout will quote and charge in one currency of your choice from AUD, USD, CAD, JPY, EUR or GBP only.
- Currency Exchange Policy: If you book an international destination all amounts quoted are subject to change (based on currency fluctuations) until the final payment has been processed. This can go either way (if your currency gets stronger you will be invoiced less!). We will confirm at the time of invoice what the final amount is, based on the exchange rate at that time. Should you wish to pay the balance earlier (prior to when it's actually due) to secure that current exchange rate you are welcome to request the final invoice at any time. Once payments have been made (deposit or final balance), no refunds will be given for changes in the amount of what that payment would be, based on currency changes at any time prior to your trip.
- Travel Insurance: Once your booking is confirmed, we strongly recommend taking out travel insurance as it will often cover the cost of cancelled reservations.

Colorful Compounds that May Prevent Diabetes (recipe included)
A recent, large-scale research study validates what smaller studies have indicated: Certain dietary compounds are associated with increased blood glucose regulation, less insulin resistance, and reduced tissue inflammation.
Although scientists do not yet know how much of these compounds we must consume to reap the benefit, they are increasingly confident that regular intake can help prevent type 2 diabetes and influence glucose management.
The Dietary Compounds
The inflammation fighting bioactive compounds the study focused on are called flavones and anthocyanins. Both are a type of flavonoid—plant substances responsible for many dazzling plant pigments. Flavones are abundant in a variety of vegetables and herbs. Anthocyanins are found in blue or red-colored vegetables and fruits.
Colorless, crystalline, water-soluble flavones are comprised of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen rings (C15 H10 O2). The flavone compound is the parent substance of several yellow plant pigments. Slight alterations in bonding between the elements create flavone's first, second, and third cousins called flavonals, flavanones, and anthocyanins.
The Flavone Influence
Researchers gathered nearly 2,000 female volunteers who completed a food questionnaire and provided samples of their blood. The questionnaire established each person's flavonoid consumption. Their blood was assessed for inflammation indicators and insulin resistance.
The scientists found:
- Participants that ate plenty of flavones and anthocyanins (e.g., herbs, berries, red grapes/wine, dark chocolate) had lower insulin resistance, putting them at less risk for developing diabetes.
- Those least likely to have chronic inflammation were participants who consumed the most anthocyanins. Inflammation has been linked not only to diabetes onset, but to cardiovascular problems, obesity, and cancer.
- Participants with the highest flavone intake had the best levels of adiponectin, a protein important in metabolic processing that affects blood sugar levels.
The flavone researchers recommend caution in applying their results before randomized trials with people developing type 2 diabetes are completed. However, their work drives home the point that what we eat impacts our health, that of our partner, and other family.
Recipe: Berries with Custard Sauce
Treat your taste buds to this anthocyanin and flavone flavor festival.
- 1/4 cup sugar, or use a sugar substitute such as Splenda
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups nonfat milk
- 3 egg yolks, beaten
- 4 cups fresh red and blue-colored berries
- In a heavy, medium saucepan, combine sugar (if you use a sugar substitute it will be added later), cornstarch, and salt. Add milk. Cook and stir on medium heat until bubbly and thickened, then cook and stir 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
- Slowly whisk half the hot mixture into a bowl containing the beaten egg yolks. Return the egg mixture to the saucepan. Cook and stir on medium heat only until bubbly; remove from heat.
- Place saucepan in a bowl half filled with ice water for three minutes—stirring the mixture continuously—to quickly cool it. Strain the custard into a medium bowl using a fine mesh sieve. Stir in vanilla, and the sugar substitute (if used).
- Cover surface with plastic wrap and chill for 2 to 24 hours. To serve, divide the berries between 6 dessert dishes and spoon the custard over them.

I stumbled across Kvelertak at the end of 2010, reading a short review of their debut album in one of the metal magazines. Something from the descriptions struck a chord completely, taking the plunge and purchasing the eponymously titled album. What followed became one of those earth shattering musical moments, as you hear for the first time something truly, truly special. Loud shouts announced "Ulvetid" prior to colossal drums, a massive riff and one of the most venomous throat ripping vocals known to man, translated into English, Kvelertak means stranglehold, the name proving apt. While the tempo and power of the album never waver, melodies are intrinsic and hints of playfulness within their music arise. A burst of acoustic guitar in "Mjod", "Blodtorst's" one note piano , even a surf guitar chord at the end of "Sultans of Satan," proving Kvelertak no ordinary hardcore / metal outfit producing one of the greatest debuts of all time.
I saw the band live supporting Come Back Kid at Manchester Academy back in April earlier this year, where they definitely picked up a number of new fans and tonight finds Kvelertak back in the city, this time as headliners at The Roadhouse. Before the gig, Mudkiss met vocalist Erlend to discuss how the tour's progressing and what the future holds for the mighty Norwegians.
ANDY: You're well into your headline European tour, how's the response been so far?
ERLEND: It's been great…the bands we've been playing with are awesome…Doomriders joined us in Norway, Sweden and Finland and then they jumped off and then Wolves Like Us from Norway jumped aboard……we've been playing Germany now the U.K, England, Ireland and Scotland……the show's have all been great, it's been a cool trip so far.
ANDY: The Roadhouse is quite a small venue, is there a big difference in the size of venue you are playing in Europe and Scandinavia, especially Norway?
ERLEND: Yeah…..Norway, they're like I guess, three times bigger……In Germany they're probably twice as big……….you know you just have to start somewhere, so hopefully we'll play bigger shows next year but it's cool doing shows like this, more intimate.
ANDY: The lyrics from the debut album are sung in your native Norwegian, did you ever think that may restrict your appeal to a wider audience? Did you ever consider singing in English?
ERLEND: I never thought about singing in English…..no I've always been singing in Norwegian since I was sixteen and first start playing in a band…….it just feels more natural for me and I don't think it's been like any hindrance for us, it doesn't seem that way…… People still sing along even if they probably don't know what the hell they're singing (laughing)….. it seems to be working.
ANDY: I think with metal, it matters less what language the lyrics are than most other genres.
ERLEND: I guess it's more a part of the music than other genres probably.
ANDY: Do you have any new material you'll be playing tonight?
ERLEND: Yeah, we're gonna play two new songs, they're gonna be on the next album, that's all we have so far.
ANDY: So the second album is in the very early stages?
ERLEND: Yeah, we have to make the songs first and we'll start working on that when we get home from this tour and then we'll record hopefully something next year and maybe have the album out by Fall but we don't know yet…..it depends on how smoothly things go. (Laughing.)
ANDY: Where do your influences as a band come from? It's a big, big sound with three guitars and there's a real classic rock feel about the music, Jimi Hendrix and even perhaps a bit of Status Quo. Are you influenced by the 60's / 70's era?
ERLEND: It's not so much me personally…..Bjarte our guitarist he writes all the music and he's got one of the broadest tastes in music that I know in a person…….like he has in his car, Marvin Gaye, Beach Boys and Burzum……that kind of shows you what he's into.
ANDY: I've never picked up on the Marvin Gaye and Beach Boys aspect in your album I must admit. (Laughing.)
ERLEND: There's supposed to be a Beach Boy reference, but I don't know where it is. (Also laughing)
ANDY: There are a lot of melodies in the album though, so perhaps it's not that surprising.
ERLEND: You should ask Bjarte about that, but I don't know where he is. (Laughing.)
ANDY: So are you personally more about the metal side? You also sing with Djevel, which is much more Black Metal based, is that the type of music you prefer to listen to?
ERLEND: Yeah, that's more like the music I listen to…… so it's cool to be in a band like that too, where I can sing like the music I listen too.
ANDY: Has that been purely a recording project at the moment or have you had any gigs as Djevel?
ERLEND: It's just been recording……….we're talking about doing a gig at some point……I don't know……he (T. Ciekels) just got a kid and I'm busy with Kvelertak and now we need to find a new drummer…….I think we'll probably start recording our next album before we start playing live, I don't know.
ANDY: I did read that work on the second Djevel album had already started, is that the case?
ERLEND: Yeah, he's already started writing stuff so yeah, we'll probably start recording once he's ready.
ANDY: From an audience point of view, do you tend to see a broader age range at Kvelertak gigs, than you would expect to see at more out and out metal gigs? I saw you supporting Comeback Kid at The Academy earlier this year and just before you came on, Gravemaker played and the audience were all younger metal kids.
ERLEND: Yeah, there were a lot of young kids at that tour.
ANDY: When Kvelertak came on stage, quite a few older rockers suddenly appeared at the front with the younger fans, do you feel your classic rock sound also draws in more mature fans?
ERLEND: I think so…..At the show's we play we get everybody from sixteen year old Emo girls to forty year old…… fifty year old rock guys.
ANDY: That's me, the forty to fifty year old rock guy. (Laughing)
ERLEND: I think that's awesome……we take any fan we can get. (Laughing.)
ANDY: So the current tour takes you to the middle of December and then I guess you are taking a break over Christmas, so what else do you have planned for the New Year?
ERLEND: Yeah, we're taking a break and we're going to start writing the new stuff and we have a tour in Australia, the Soundwave Festival.
ANDY: Is that you're first visit to Australia?
ERLEND: Yeah, I'm really looking forward to doing that I've never been to Australia before so yeah….it seems like a comfortable festival to do, it's like you do one show and then have two days off……hang out around the hotel, sounds perfect. (Laughing)
ANDY: So Kvelertak is taking you round the world to places you've never seen before.
ERLEND: Yeah, it's awesome.
ANDY: And what are you hoping for tonight in Manchester?
ERLEND: Packed show, it's sold out so it should be.
ANDY: You've sold out quite a few shows on the tour haven't you?
ERLEND: Yeah we sold out like Sweden and Norway they ended up being sold out. I remember the two shows we did in Germany before coming here were sold out, London is sold out tomorrow, so pretty good…….I think it will be crazy tonight I hope.
ANDY: Well, it's a small packed venue in Manchester, I'm sure it will be a bit hectic.
ERLEND: I just hope it's not too early for people, it's pretty early stage times today.
ANDY: What time are you on tonight, 8.15?
ERLEND: 8 o'clock, quarter past eight yeah…… we haven't played before nine so far……. Club night after so what are you going to do. (Laughing.)
And with thank you's expressed all round, Erlend disappears into The Roadhouse Green Room, re-appearing on more than one occasion, watching the support acts prior to a ferocious Kvelertak performance, proving to be one of the gigs of the year, Manchester going absolutely mental for the six piece from Stavanger. Let's hope they find time to write and release album number two in 2012, the new material offered tonight already suggests a potential highlight of next year.
