1. What is MOTXO?
MOTXO is breaking the rules. MOTXO is saying no to doing things the same old boring way. MOTXO is a mix of red wine and cola that we blended and bottled just for you.
2. Where should I drink it?
Anywhere. Everywhere. Drink it wherever the hell you want: fireside, beachside, couchside, mountainside, outside, inside, on rooftops and summer stoops, sunrise, sunset, when you're dancing all night, with best friends, new friends, boyfriends, girlfriends--it's up to you.
3. What's the point?
We think that wine is God's greatest gift to the world. We want to dance around with our hands in the air singing its praises. But our friends don't feel the same way. Wine makes them think of claustrophobic dinner parties wearing too tight ties, Dads doing business on the golf course, the clinking of expensive glasses. That made us sad. So we decided to try something different--very different. Unusual, understandable and unpretentious, we made Motxo so everyone--the skeptics, the haters, and our doubtful friends--could enjoy wine the same way we do.
4. How do you pronounce it?
Mō-cho. Say it with us. Mō, then, cho. Nice, you got it.
5. Where does it come from?
MOTXO is inspired by the kalimotxo [cali-mocho], a red wine and cola mixed drink from the Basque Country of Northern Spain. Over there, the kalimotxo is nothing short of a cultural icon. It's the lifeblood of summer beach parties, bottelón street dancing and community BBQs. Kalimotxo says you should live your life to the fullest. It tells you to sleep when you're dead. We agree wholeheartedly.
6. What's in it?
MOTXO is made from a careful blend of red wine and our own craft spiced cola. We use all our favorite cola flavors—citrus peel, nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla, lavender and more—and leave out all the bad high-fructose stuff you find from the big soda companies. MOTXO is made with natural ingredients and sweetened with real cane sugar. We carefully make our cola with tons of spice flavor and blend in our curated red wine, then carbonate it to give the drink that refreshing bite. Serve it cold, drink it from a glass or straight from the bottle. It's all good.
7. Where can I find it?
Currently you can find it brewing in our backyard. But MOTXO has some big dreams--look for it to be available in stores and through our website in 2016.
8. Why did you make this?
Once upon a time, we traveled across the seas to spend a spring working in Cape Town, South Africa. There we discovered an almost-utopian world of wine. Wine was inexpensive and understandable, tastings were for free. The more we sipped, the more we learned. We drank watching sunsets and on top of mountains and everything was right with the world. Until we came back to the good ol' U. S. of A. and realized that Cape Town had been a dream land--back in the states, wine was just as confusing and mysterious as ever.
We made MOTXO because we wanted to make wine easier. Because we were tired of standing on the outside looking in. Because we aren't afraid of adventure. Because drinking wine should about learning and living and having more than a little bit of fun in the process.
9. Isn't it sacrilege to mix cola with wine?
Some say sacrilege, we say screw it. The status quo is for squares anyways. It's weird, different, and delicious and that's all that really matters.

The Life of St Teresa of Avila by HerselfBy: of Avila Saint Teresa (author), J. Cohen (translator)Paperback
Up to 2 WeeksUsually despatched within 2 weeks
DescriptionBorn in the Castilian town of Avila in 1515, Teresa entered the Carmelite convent of the Incarnation when she was twenty-one. Tormented by illness, doubts and self-recrimination, she gradually came to recognize the power of prayer and contemplation - her spiritual enlightenment was intensified by many visions and mystical experiences, including the piercing of her heart by a spear of divine love. She went on to found seventeen Carmelite monasteries throughout Spain. Teresa always denied her own saintliness, however, saying in a letter: 'There is no suggestion of that nonsense about my supposed sanctity.' This frank account is one of the great stories of a religious life and a literary masterpiece - after Don Quixote, it is Spain's most widely read prose classic.
About AuthorSt Teresa (1515-1582) entered the Carmelite convent in Castile when she was 21. Approaching her vocation with determination but no enthusiasm, she slowly realised God can be loved in and through all things. J.M. Cohen translated nine volumes for the Penguin Classics, including Cervantes, Montaigne, Rabelais and Rousseau. He died in 1989 and was described by the Times as "one of the great English men of letters".

1. The title of today's blog is completely sarcastic. There really is no point, just some random thoughts and observations.
2. I really need to hire a cleaner. This flat is way too large, there is cream/white carpeting throughout and I'm losing the battle with clutter, 2.5 year old and the puker (aka Riley the cat). Also as my friend Jaime so wisely pointed out - if I live in a residence with a certified "Maid's Room", I should not be expected to clean my own house. Right? Right?
3. We live in a neighborhood of Tokyo called Hiroo (pronounced Hero-ooh) that is home to the University of the Sacred Heart, an all girls Christian University. Everyday, I push G's stroller past throngs of college age girls dressed very similarly; short shorts (jean or otherwise), tights (fishnets or sparkly silver preferred), high heeled boots (over the knee is a fave), topped with a short jacket or cape and if at all possible a furry hat that resembles an animal (a cat seems to be the most popular). Full makeup including false eyelashes and gel nails - never dark, always pastel, sparkly and/or with rhinestones on the tips. Anyone that knows me, understands that I am DYING inside, biting my lip, wanting to speed dial What Not to Wear and I have absolutely nobody to discuss this amazing fashion with! In my head, the Pretty Woman (as in Julia Roberts) theme song plays. I'm not judging, I'm just sayin'....
Get back to me in 6 mos...perhaps I will be sporting the nails pictured below.
4. 1700 yen is far too much to pay for maple syrup. This is $20. By they way, this is not the gallon size, but rather a regular glass bottle, smaller than Aunt Jemima equivalent in the US. I thought London was crazy expensive, but Tokyo beats it. I've been told that I will eventually become accustomed to spending 800 yen ($10) for 2 perfect, delicious apples but I'm not so sure about that.
5. There is no tipping in Tokyo - not in restaurants, bars, taxis or for services rendered. I prefer to think that the "tip" is built into the astronomical prices being charged.
6. I have 12 channels that I can watch on my television read: are in English. These include but are not limited to 3 sports channels, 1 disney channel, MTV, a movie channel and two channels that alternate between Boston Legal, The Ghost Whisperer, and any/all CSI, American Idol and So you Think You Can Dance. All of the shows are at least 1 if not 2 seasons old. I'm not bothered as I'm not a big TV watcher but have noticed that Roy is doing alot of research on Slingbox.
7. People here wear facial masks not necessarily to prevent getting ill but to prevent spreading the illness or germs that they may have. I answer this question at least twice daily when G asks, "MOMMY, WHY MAN WEARING MASK?" while pointing and staring at the person sitting right next to us on the train. I remember when I use to get flustered and embarrassed...G has cured me of this.
8. Japanese women wear high heels. And skirts. With pantyhose. Possibly leggings with a tunic top. No jeans. My loose fitting boyfriend jeans, motorcycle boots and Gap sweater is really not cutting it here. I am a Glamour Don't in Japan.
9. On the trains, people either sleep or check their phones or play hand held games. There is no eye contact, definitely no talking, thus making G's observations (see number 7 above) all the more obvious.
10. It does not matter how intelligent you are or how advanced your degree, unless you can read Japanese, you will be unable to determine whether the milk carton that you are buying is pasteurized, non pasteurized, low fat, full fat or goats milk.
Happy Holidays!

Refashion time: scarf to boho dress
A couple of weeks ago, I encountered this DIY over on A Cup of Life (definitely worth a look, Shifra is such a positive and bright girl!). Since I have a crazy amount of scarves that I barely wear anymore, I thought I could sacrifice one to make into a boho dress. And here's the result. For a full outfit-photo you'll have to wait a little longer, I had to make these photos right before going to school and my face wasn't in a very cooperative mood..
Have you refashioned anything lately?
Talk to you soon lovelies!

Let Everything Go
December 8, 2011 § Leave a comment
Last night I dreamed my cat and I were sitting on the porch at night, she was leashed so she couldn't run away. Suddenly we heard a rustling in the bushes and sat up with a desire to run after what was making the noise. In the distance we saw a deer walking through the dark forest. I unleashed my cat. She bolted off the porch and into the night running as far away and as fast as she could in the direction of the deer.
Sometimes, we have to let everything go in order to get what we want the most.

Google maps internet monopoly
Seems quite interesting, but I'm not sure how it'll work...
I fancied it and gave it a whirl.
-The servers ballsed up.
-They're still not great.
-The site is too reliant on flash.
-They're resetting the whole shebang next week.
-If you don't log in and respond within 7 days of someone making an offer on your property, the default is that they can automatically claim your streets/buildings.
-It's too easy to have multiple throwaway accounts, and then sell property to yourself at a knockdown price.
I've kinda lost interest already.

Case Tartufo has been around since 2010 but moved to Scarlet Hotel from Forum Gallery a couple of years back. A wise move, given their previous location at a mall didn't exactly fit their profile. We visited the family-run restaurant with our family for KW's birthday and had a lovely experience, thanks to the friendly service and hearty food. The restaurant specializes in truffle-d dishes but it pays to note, their dishes are elevated with a thoughtful touch of truffles, and they don't use truffles for the sake of using truffles. Ahhh, truffles are my spirit animal (or fungi) so truffle anything is half the battle won.
The steak was served with sautéed green beans and we ordered another side of sautéed spinach to get our green quotient up.
Beef, carbs, mushrooms. You can't get any better than this.
For desserts, I knew for sure I wanted to try their tiramisu. It wasn't groundbreaking but still a delightful dessert.
Accompanied with a scoop of smooth icicle-free gelato, their fig tart was a beautiful slice to be had. Sweet, buttery and incredibly homely.
The restaurant surprised us with a lemon cheesecake when they realized we were celebrating KW's birthday. It was a wee bit too tart for KW, but perfect for me! What can I say, I'm a sucker for a pucker.

The Worst Thing on TV: "I'm A Celebrity Get Me out Of Here!"
Call it morbid curiosity, train wreck entertainment, whatever, but I decided to try to watch the NBC show "Im a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here."
"It's the ultimate "Swiss Family Robinson," says the NBC site.
Long story short, I feel like suing NBC for the those minutes of my life that I wasted watching this worthless turd of a television program.
Take the worst parts of "Survivor" and "Fear Factor," add sub z-list celebrities and throw them in the jungle (with studio lighting and robotic cameras, of course) and see what happens when they start realizing that they are hundreds of miles from the nearest room service menu.
The result is completely un-watchable.
The show has contestants that can just barely meet the textbook definition of the word celebrity: OK, you have Stephen Baldwin and Lou Diamond Phillips and Janice Dickenson - all rather well known celebs in their own right ... but then you have Sanjaya (yeah, him) and John Sally and two crybaby brats from some stupid show on MTV and the wife of disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and a former WWE Diva, and...aw who the hell cares. Its utter crap.
"This has got to be the worst thing I have ever seen on television. I mean really? I honestly am in utter shock at how bad things have gotten," said one member of NBC's message board (they have a whole section dedicated to "negative opinions" of the show)
"Thank god for 30 Rock or I don't think I would ever watch NBC again."
This is the kind of show that gets pitched by some wanna-be newcomer producer to a Jr. executive on the bottom rung of the NBC corporate ladder. And yet by some strange gonzo twist of events, the show has actually made it to air.
And yet, NBC wonders why their ratings and ad revenue continues to drop.

-This was the coldest day so far. We were out walking and decided to document our adventure. Really, like 14 degrees with windchill.
-There was frost INSIDE our window. I love the humidity!!
-This is a cute family in the ward where we had la Noche de Hogar (FHE) last week. I always feel like a giant around all the cute little Latinos…
-It was Elder Neser's birthday. So we had a mini celebration at District Meeting. But mostly we coordinated and planned and all that good stuff, don't worry.
SO this week:
-The Hermanas in the area next to us are teaching Maritza and Juan and they are getting baptized this Saturday!!! They are so solid and on Wednesday they had all the missionaries over from their area and from the branch (so 12 total) and after dinner asked us what they need to do to get baptized. They want to do it before transfers so it's this Saturday!!!
SO this same amazing couple came OUT WITH US to teach Maria and Victor and the whole lesson was just great. They talked about Baptism and testimonies and the Spirit and we pretty much sat back and let them teach. The Spirit is so strong and now it's not a matter of "if" but a matter of "when" for Maria and Victor. They just want to know a little more about the book of Mormon and the Church. But they are sooooo great!!
-We are also teaching a sweet young woman named Maria also. She has three little kids but may be moving to N. Carolina to be with her husband. She is still learning a lot though so pray the missionaries there can help her. She is great about keeping all her commitments and we are just so excited.
-This is the last full week with Hermana Barroso until she goes home. We are going to make it our best and work hard. The harder you work and the better you plan, the better your day is and the more miracles you see! I know this is true.
Read Isaiah 41:10
I love you all so much, stay Steadfast in Christ! My Spanish is mixing with my Southern. So, espero que tenga un muy blessed dia y'all!!!

The Best Photos From Around the World This Year
This year has brought natural disasters, a new administration, and a solar eclipse.
1 year ago
The year 2017 has been one for the books. It brought a series of devastating natural disasters, including hurricanes and raging wildfires. A new administration took the White House and President Donald Trump tried to make national and international changes. A total eclipse grabbed the country's attention, and we were yet again brought to tears by the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. Photographers were there every step of the way to document the historic year. Check out some of the best photos from 2017.

|Wulaba had the honor of playing for the students of North Country School tonight at the 4th annual Capoeira Batizado celebration. Several students from North Country received their "baptism" from the Mestrando Peninha, the Capoiera martial arts professor, originally from Brazil andwho now resides in Montreal. Johnna MacDougall led sixty students in African dance...the roots of the martial arts Capoeira, starting with movements in the feet and then growing the movements larger until they encompassed the entire body. James and Karen both received their next "cord" at the Batizado elevating them to a new level of practice in the art.
Wulaba is a West African drumming group based in Lake Placid, New York and founded by lead drummer and percussion teacher, James Gann. Wulaba, in the African Mandinka language, means "big forest" - perfect for being in the heart of the Adirondack Forest Preserve.

Wulaba Plays for Capoeira Batizado
Wulaba & Soma Beats Perform at North Country Community College Talent Show
On April 17th, 2008, we had the grand opportunity to perform with our newly seasoned Soma Beats dancers, led by Johnna MacDougall. What a blast it was! Johnna did her Bird Dance solo to Gidamba and then the Soma Beats dancers took to the floor for their rendition of Djole. Lou, our only male dancer, said that he is really inspired by the drumming and he loves to dance! One of our newest dancers, Shir, a college professor, just joined on a few weeks ago and already is one of our performers! Most of our other dancers have had experience in dance or yoga and in fact, Mimi Frantz, a local yoga professional choreographed James and Karen's gold winning skating program at the Adult National figure skating championships this month.

B.Rich & Steve
B.RICH (AKA Friggin' Buddy) has, like, fer' sure made his mark in the Great White North. Nearly 20 years into the game as a hoser rapper, a blast of unexpected success following the Youtube explosion of his song "OUT FOR A RIP" gave friggin' buddy a much needed kick in the pants, and the adventure began. Along with his RIP co-star, longtime BFF, and life coach Steve Snarfwell, The past 5 years have been a whirlwind of bizarre d-list Canadian celebrity adventures… Dropped a couple weird as hell sports themed video collabs with TSN… landed a beard oil endorsement & released their own friggin' beer… oh yeah… and that one time the boys got into a bit of a public beef with a Cola company that they can't talk about anymore. On the touring front, with the addition of inimitable hype man Dinky Snarfwell (brother of Steve), the boys have honed the live show into one wild and weird "concert" experience. Not quite a rap show, not quite a comedy show, always a time!

One month in the US, and I've already gained six pounds.
Observations on food, drink, sport, life and silliness in the US, Spain...and beyond! [Copyright © 2004-2016. All rights reserved.]
One month in the US, and I've already gained six pounds.
Sal -
Keep up da good work! May I recommend the Francheezie?
A hot dog stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, and deep-fried. Good eatin'!
(That picture has totally put me off my breakfast, thank you very much!)
6 entire lbs?? Scandalous! :-) But it's very good to know that either the restaurants in Chicago or the women in your life have managed to fatten you up a bit.
Have you been listening to my favorite show on NPR? (I know, my nerdiness is showing again.)
We've missed you! The husband and I are heading to Chicago this weekend to exchange Valentine's Day gifts -- Winslow Homer/Edward Hopper exhibit at the Art Institute for me, deep-dish pizza for him. But male modeling ceased being an option for him around the time he discovered XBox. ;)
TBF: That sounds like the CHicago equivalent of Turducken. I've not tried a Francheezie, but I couldn't help but devour a Portillo's Chicago dog a few weeks ago. I am very, VERY interested in hitting Hot Doug's in the near future for some gourmet "encased meat" with a side of duck fat fries. I hate to tantalize you with that image, but I suspect that you'd return the favor were the tables turned. Hey...maybe we can grab a bite when on your next visit.
Christina: My recent weight gain is solely attributable to those two women. But it was weight that I needed. When I landed here, I was at or below my high school weight--which may be admirable in a woman, but not in a guy. I'm still 9-12 pounds under my fighting weight and 16lbs. below my maximum weight (when I bulked-up on a bet in 1990); so my work is not yet finished.
Ang: I'm also a fan of "Wait, Wait." It's incredibly witty, and a great way to kill a Saturday morning. Keep me posted on future trips into Illinois. Sooner or later the stars will align and we can double-date.
Trac: Hey, Trac! You know the best thing about being back here? Elvis Death Day. Every August, like clockwork, some Chicago cabaret will offer a line-up of E-impersonators. I've wanted to go for years (last year, there was a great 30th Anniversary show...but I was flying back to Spain on that day). The King and I are brothers in weight gain.
Fat Sal - Please tell me that picture has been Photoshopped.
I'm curious to know what you honestly miss...
So you do blog sometimes still huh.
Yours mournfully and completely out of the loop,
One of the old crowd from the formerly 'blogpost almost daily' tapas bar scene.
I guess weight gain means you're happy? :)

today's special
ol' fashioned festive breakfast of cornmeal waffles with real maple
syrup, and homemade sausage. Want to join me? The coffee's on,
so come on in, for my scrumptious birthday breakfast!
This wonderful recipe is from the August issue of Gourmet magazine,
which much to my great sadness, is closing up shop. How can they
possibly do this to me? Don't they know I'm their biggest fan? Well,
guess I'll be hanging on tightly to the past issues that are scattered
around the manor.
These delectable waffles quickly became one of my favorite things.
They're light, crispy and the heavenly corn flavor pairs perfectly
with real maple syrup. You mix them up the night before, so all you
have to do in the morning (and believe me, I'm not a morning person)
is the add the baking soda and heat up the waffle iron. Easy peasey.
If I can do this in my sleep, so can you!
Cornmeal Waffles
2 1/4 tsp active dry yeast
1/2 cup warm water (105-115 F)
2 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
2/3 cup stone ground cornmeal
1 2/3 cup flour
1 tsp sugar
1 1/2 tsp salt
1 stick unsalted butter, melted and cooled
1/2 tsp baking soda
Stir together yeast and warm water in a large bowl and let stand
until foamy, about 15 minutes. (if mixture doesn't foam, start over
with new yeast and make sure water is warm enough)
Whisk eggs and milk until combined. Whisk in cornmeal, flour,
sugar and salt until smooth, then whisk in butter. Chill covered,
overnight. Batter will bubble up and expand, slightly.
Next morning:
Add baking soda and stir.
Preheat Belgian waffle iron.
Yummity yum. (This recipe makes 4 whole Belgian waffles)
Oh, and by the way, I was two years old when the above picture was
taken in 1958, so you do the math. I am definitely not over the hill,
though. My feet are firmly planted on this side of that darned
ubiquitous hill.

Happy Birthday Willow! Many Happy Returns of the Day and thank you for sharing it with us on your always beautiful blog! I hope you're spoiled royally today... xoxoxoReplyDelete
Oh, Happy Birthday!!!ReplyDelete
Those waffles sound amazing-Now I'm kinda hungry Lol
Happy Birthday Willow! Enjoy every moment of your day!ReplyDelete
A very happy birthday to you! Nice start with the waffles and I hope you ended the day with something very special as well!ReplyDelete
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Willow. You've got many more balls to host yet, I'm quite sure....assuming WT remains up to it! (and, btw, i didn;t do the math--you as old as you feel..which, err...in my case makes me about 80! Ha.)ReplyDelete
"darned ubiquitious hill" -- the poet in you comes out. Love those words.
"the August issue of Gourmet magazine,
which much to my great sadness, is closing up shop. How can they
possibly do this to me? "
--that was just like me when they closed victoria Magazine down years a go. I had just got into it with the Christmas issue. Here I was, there only male fan with no magazine home. Later i found British House and Garden though but even that is hard to find.
And yes, pour me a cup and I'd love soe of those incredible looking waffles. Yum.ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday Willow. I hope your lovely breakfast is just the beginning of a lovely day for you - hope you get spoiled wrotten!ReplyDelete
Happiest of Birthdays, Willow! A fellow Libra. What an adorable little one you were. I'm going to pretend I'm there having waffles with you--sounds delicious. (In reality, I'll be getting up at the crack of dawn to head out on yet another flight.) Hope you can do something wonderful on your big day.ReplyDelete
I'm sad about Gourmet!! Everyone is really hit by this economy. I'm very sorry to hear that...
Have a splendid day, Willow!
Happy Birthday vintage lady! Vintage things are always better because they show they're age and they're proud of it. Plus, they're one of a kind. Except for the fact that I posted some photos this evening of a little girl from the 1930s who looks a bit like you. You sure you're not a time traveller?ReplyDelete
Happy Birthday WIllow. May you wake up to waffles every morning...the scent alone would be enough to whisk me through the day. xvReplyDelete
Happy Birthday, Willow!ReplyDelete
May your day be special and your new year of life filled with joy and happiness each and every day!
GOURMET Magazine has taught me so many things about cooking and faraway places and life in general. I am still not over the shock of their demise! I am more than ever thankful that I rescued my back issues from being given away when I moved from the States. They stacks were several (yep, many!) feet high, but I am o so glad I smuggled them into the container (as my husband liked to joke, my books and magazines and my piano were more than half the weight of our moving goods)!
Hoppy Bird day to youReplyDelete
Hoppy bird day to you
Hoppy bird day
Deer Willow

I guess our modern society's penchant for 30 minutes meals using canned ingredients killed Gourmet magazine, and I for one, am very, very triste(Spanish for SAD).ReplyDelete
Gourmet didn't just introduce me to food I had never tasted before--it showed me a whole different world.
Well gosh darn! A birffday girl! Love the picture...I don't do math...sooooo.... you are.....forever young in my mind!ReplyDelete
Hope you are having a fabulous week

Yet as international attention focuses on one disaster, next door, the self-declared independent state of Somaliland faces its very own drought-related crisis. Action now is essential to help communities emerge from the poverty brought on by successive failure of rains and to support them to move away from a cycle of drought and dependence.

Last week it was revealed that Quentin Tarantino pitched a Star Trek film to JJ Abrams and Paramount, and that we should take the news very seriously. Tarantino had met for hours with writers Mark L. Smith, Lindsey Beer, and Drew Pearce. The idea was to kick around ideas for this to possibly happen. Rumors indicate that Smith, who wrote The Revenant, seems to be the man for the job. Now comes the news that Tarantino has stipulated the film will require to be R rated, and Paramount and Abrams are okay with that. Wow. There has NEVER been a "Star Trek," or "Star Wars" movie for that matter, that hasn't been rated PG-13. Of course, we know that a movie rated R is not anymore a Box-Office kiss of death, as Fox's Deadpool justifiably reminded us that a few years ago.
Tarantino has only made R rated films in his career and I cannot see him ever making anything but that kind of picture. This latest news will no doubt bring a burst of creative possibilities for "Star Trek," which will most likely go places no other film or TV episode in the franchise has gone before.

I am sure these are actually the best thing I have ever made – My friend gave me a reciepe for the yummiest but most unhealthy treats ever and of course I stupidly made them but boy, were they good and could I stop eating them?….of course not! She called it crak, its a mixture between bonfire toffee and smores I think! So in an attempt to stop myself scoffing the lot, I immediately tried to make a healthier version and after 4 attempts I got there and seriously, these are so much better than the butter, sugar filled original.
These are amazing, not only are they healthier…they are actually good for you! filled with utter health and nutrition, there is no need to feel guilty about devouring a couple!
So these little beauties are so easy to prepare, with only 7 ingredients, they filled with the goodness of iron, calcium, vitamin B and masses of antioxidants. I swapped the butter for Avocado – yes Avocado (you really can't tell!) which is also so nutrient dense – containing healthy fats called poly and mono-saturated fats which have been shown to decrease cholesterol levels, reduce the likelihood of brain disease and promote healthy brain function. I used a sugar called monk fruit sugar which is widely available (bulk barn strikes again!), is completely natural given that is comes from fruit, it looks and tastes like Sugar but contains NO CALORIES, making this treat so utterly fabulous!
Makes 16-20 pieces
- 2 Avocados mashed
- 2 1/2 Tbsp Coconut oil
- 3 Tbsp Monk Fruit sugar
- 1/2 Cup raw pecan nuts
- 1/2 Cup raw almonds
- 2 Medjool dates
- 1 Tbsp water
- 1/2 Cup darkest chocolate chips
How to…?
- Place parchment paper in a square tin
- Blitz the nuts in a food processor for 30 seconds or so
- Add in the water and pitted dates
- Using a spatula, smooth the nut mixture to the bottom of the tray, pressing into the side. To ensure it's as flat as it can be, use a small piece of parchment paper and press with hand
- Place in freezer and move onto the topping
- In a saucepan, heat the coconut oil and monk fruit sugar together continuously stirring for a minute.
- Add in the mashed avocado and heat for about 4 minutes
- Remove from the heat and spoon over the frozen nut base, spreading out equally
- Place the tray in the oven at 350 degrees for about 15 minutes, remove as soon as anything turning brown
- Immediately sprinkle the choc chips over the topping and leave for 5 minutes until they start to melt. Using a spatula, spread the chocolate out gently over the top and place back in the freezer for about 4 hours.
- Remove from freezer, slice and return to the freezer portioned up for when you need a beautiful sweet treat.

The local council is stepping in to cut grass in public areas across Lisburn.
Transport NI is responsible for grass cutting in areas such as road verges but budget cuts have seen this service reduced.
Now the council, which carries out an "ongoing grass-cutting and grass maintenance programme" for council-owned parks and grassed areas in its playgrounds and facilities, is to extend that service.
Elected members of Lisburn & Castlereagh City Council say they want to ensure that the main gateways into Lisburn and key arterial routes are well maintained.
A spokeswoman said, "Council is aware of the adverse impact that a poor visual appearance of the area could have and is therefore committed to progressing a partnership approach in improving the overall appearance of the City Council area. The local communities will also be encouraged to participate in maintaining the visual amenity so that the area can be enjoyed by all those who live, work, visit or invest in the area. Civic pride will be encouraged across the entire area and the Council is keen to work with the whole community in this regard."
Alderman Allan Ewart, chairman of the Development Committee, said: "The council endeavours to maintain those areas for which it is responsible however it is important to consider the main gateways where there is some high grass growth. We want the area to be a pleasant one not only for our ratepayers; but for visitors and shoppers coming into our towns and villages in the tourist season.
"We will endeavour, for the foreseeable, that priority area grass cutting which is not our responsibility be undertaken where possible to make the area look a little better."
Alderman Paul Porter, Chairman of the Leisure & Community Development Committee, said: "There are plenty of people coming to leisure facilities over the summertime with children now on school holidays and we want their approach to the Council area, whether it be to the Lagan Valley LeisurePlex or to the Dundonald International Ice Bowl; or to one of our parks to be as pleasant as possible.
"It is important to the council that the area looks as good as it can. We must have a mind to the cost of this work but will do what we can to improve some of the areas which should normally be cut by Transport NI."

Infinite Vitality has become my natural gas supplier for four many years now. I really like their Net-based paperless billing and their prices are among the the lowest.
GNG's variable prices stated below apply to shoppers using a beginning meter reading day ( which appears as being the 'Prior Meter Reading through Date' on their own Invoice ) on or right after May perhaps 5, 2018.

I truly want all my activities with any customer service could be dealt with fifty percent plus the way Danny taken care of my contact. I do not know if Danny's skill is actually a testomony to his coaching or supervision at Infinite Vitality but I essentially really feel that it's him Individually. I don't believe that kind of attention to detail, and private possession and obligation could be taught. I think it's inherent in his character and when any one warrants the credit In addition to him it is actually his dad and mom. Ultimately, I believe that Danny really should be training customer service reps and/or supervising them. Kudos to Danny and kudos to Infinite Energy for recognizing his potential and hiring him. Rob Mccray
I happen to be an Infinite Power shopper for more than 3 many years. I have loved their rates and customer care a great deal which i basically transferred my services over the point out whenever we moved. I Actually didn't want to get to choose another company.

Women dressed like brightly colored street walkers? Check.
Men costumed, gelled, and glittered for a night at a gay night club? Check.
A Cher tribute concert? RuPaul's entourage? Nope and nope. There must be a salsa competition brewing...
Cali is salsa. Salsa is Cali. Unlike any other place in Colombia, you hear the horns and cowbells everywhere you go. It pours onto the streets from the radios' of taxis and eminates from little tiendas all across the city. There are sections of Cali where club after club - sometimes for several consecutive blocks - are all salsa bars.
It seems only appropriate then, that Cali is the host of the 2010 World Salsa Festival, a celebration of the dance that Caleños hold with such pride. The festival features concerts of reknowned salsa bands, interviews and forums with famous musicians of the genre, and a dance competition.
We attended the first round of competition on Saturday at the Cristales Open Aire Theatre. Even the "bad" groups were pretty amazing. Both of these videos are of the group portion of the contest. We arrived in time to catch the last handful of contestants in the pairs division, but unfortunately, I didn't have the mind to record any of that.
Despite the glitter and often-times ridiculous hair-styles, this dance has evolved to a point known as "Cali-salsa," adding flairs to the footwork not found in other salsa styles. When coupled with theatrics, cheerleading-like lifts and throws, not to mention the fact that women are in very high heels, this is a sub-culture all of its own. As evidenced by the crowd's reaction and screaming throughout, this is kind of a big deal here.

Hello! I was really excited when I found your blog. Thank you for interesting and informative post! I want to share with you some article too. It is so sad, but we must think more about people's attitude to animal. This article describes how two cats narrowly escaped the death. Someone threw them on railroad tracks. It is terrible, how much people can be cruel. Please tell me your opinion. More information about this incident you can read on https://quivo.co/22798-gatos-abandonados-en-las-vias-sobreviven-tras-atropellados-por-tres-trenes.html.

MOLTING - YOUR FLOCK'S ANNUAL SHEDDINGWhy exactly does molting happen you may ask? Many 1st time poultry owners may wonder if their flock is sick as soon as they see the pile of fluff in their chicken run and the bald spots all over their flocks members. Well in this article you will learn the who, what, when, where, and how's of molting.
length. Molting can also sometimes be triggered by stress.Molting occurs throughout the animal kingdom in a wide variety of species, in the Webster dictionary molting is defined as "to shed hair, feathers, shell, horns, or an outer layer periodically" referring to poultry, feathers are shed periodically throughout the specimens life. Chicks actually go through one complete and three partial molts during it's first 5 months. When they are 2+ weeks old they will begin to molt their down and grow in their 1st set of feathers. When they are approximately 7-9 weeks of age and again at 12-16 weeks of age and finally at 20-22 weeks of age, they will go through a partial molt where they do not completely shed all of their feathers. Mature birds normally undergo one complete molt per year, usually in autumn. This can depend on the time of the year that the bird started laying. Natural molting usually begins in autumn. The main factors that bring bout molting are: physical exhaustion/fatigue, completion of the laying cycle and reduction of day
Does molting hurt? No many of my friends and neighbors have asked me if molting hurts but the answer is no, molting is very similar to losing a piece of hair or clipping a finger nail the feather is already dead, the only time in the process of molting where the specimen can be in pain is close to the end where they are starting to grow in "pin feathers" this process can sometimes be painful so during this period DO NOT PICK ANY MOLTING MEMBER OF YOUR FLOCK UP!!! If you pick up a molting member of your flock during this process it could cause them pain and even damage one of the developing feathers.
Can I speed up molting? Yes, you can speed up molting but only by a few days, if you feed your flock a high protein supplement added onto their daily rations then the process of molting can be sped up. Feathers are comprised mostly of protein and it takes a lot of energy to reproduce feathers so by giving them the extra protein (can be from scrambled eggs, black oil sunflower seeds, cat food, etc.) you speed up molting. But why would you want to speed up molt? When the hen is in molt their egg production will either drop radically or stop completely. If you have a large family or sell the eggs you are going to need every egg you can get your hands on!
So for the newbies or even the experienced poultry owners molting is 100% natural and is actually a process that helps your chicken live a happy life by giving them new, clean, un-damaged feathers. So don't worry when you see the "snow storm" in your flocks run it is a natural process that all poultry and 90% of other organisms experience. After a few weeks they will be back to normal again!

1981 was certainly the Year of the Wolf. We got John Landis's amazing An American Werewolf in London and Joe Dante's equally excellent The Howling, but there was a third wolf film out that year that many people have forgotten called Wolfen. What people didn't know, and the studio did their best marketing spin to keep it that way, was that Wolfen was not a werewolf movie like the previous two. At no point in this film do we see anybody's body parts stretch or shift and grow an abundant amount of hair, and though this film is classified as a horror/crime/thriller the horror element is very, very small.
What this film is truly about is man's hubris towards the environment and how it will eventually bite him in the ass, and in this case quite literally. Long before Global Warming became a hot button topic many people cried out against man's treatment of the natural world, and using film or television to promote environmental political agendas was certainly nothing new, and one of the best ways to sneak that stuff to the masses was to slip it into a genre movie. So in this outing we have a former NYPD Captain Dewey Wilson (Albert Finney) yanked out of retirement by his gruff boss (Dick O'Neill) to investigate a particular gruesome crime; Christopher Van der Veer (Max M. Brown), a powerful real estate magnate, and his lovely wife (Anne Marie Pohtamo) are horrible torn apart in Battery Park. Their chauffeur/bodyguard is also found dead, his hand severed yet still holding his unfired gun.
He's either being stalked by a Wolfen or The Predator.
The Wolfen-Vision is one of my bigger problems with the film, because for most of the films 114 minute running time we do not see our title creature, instead we get Evil Dead-Cam tracking shots that go on for fucking ever. Now keeping your creature's appearances limited can be very effective, just look at how well that worked for Spielberg's Jaws, but in the case of Wolfen we get way too many of these thermo-cam POV shots before even knowing what the creature is supposed to be. In Jaws even if you don't see the shark we all know what a shark is and how terrifying they are, but what the hell is a Wolfen? This is not helped when we eventually see them and they look just like normal wolves.
"Oh, who's a good boy?"
I'm not saying wolves aren't scary, if I was alone in the woods with them, and I wasn't Liam Neeson, I'd be terrified too. But the simple fact is that wolves are really beautiful animals and plucking them into an urban environment takes much of their power away. It's not until the third act that we get the supernatural element of these creatures explained, but what we learn wasn't worth the wait.
Note: Back when I first saw this film I assumed they were invisible as that is really the only way to explain them wandering around New York City completely unnoticed, but that turned out not to be the case as they apparently can "ghost out" and teleport.
During his investigation Captain Dewey Wilson, who gets partnered up with criminal psychologist Rebecca Neff (Diane Venora), first suspects that Native American militant member Eddie Holt (Edward James Olmos) is involved, and it's while interviewing him up on the high steel of a suspension bridge that the first mention of shape-shifting occurs, totally getting our hopes up. Holt tells Dewey that he can turn into many types of animal including wolves and eagles, and even tells Dewey to go jump off the bridge and flap his arms, offering the tip, "It's all in the head." When Dewey tails Holt that night he finds him naked at the beach acting like a wolf, but just when Dewey is going to shoot the apparently "Crazy Indian" before he can pounce on him Eddie stops cold and says, "Dewey, I told you man, it's all in your head." Eddie Holt was totally fucking with him. This is one of my favorite moments in the movie as it's nice to see the "Wise Native American" having fun with the stupid white guy.
Also you get to see young Commander Adama running around naked.
Unfortunately this moment is harmed by two things; one being that Edward James Olmos is of Mexican descent and not a Native America, but secondly and more damagingly is that later the Wolfen are revealed to actually be magical Native American bullshit. I would have been much happier if the whole Native America thing had just been another red herring like the terrorist angle that most the bigwigs in the movie believed it to be. Instead we get a scene where, after his friend Whittington (Gregory Hines) is killed while trying to help hunt the wolves, Dewey staggers to a bar frequented by Native Americans and is told by Holt that the Wolfen are wolf-spirits that combined with some of the Native Americans during the genocide caused by White Man's arrival in the New World, and that they now live off the forgotten people of the world, with the occasional murder to protect their hunting grounds.
Gregory Hines should have known better than to be a black man in a horror film.
So we learn that Christopher Van der Veer was targeted because he was demolishing the slums that the Wolfen hunted in for his urban renewal project. This of course relies on us buying wolves seeing a man in a suit using a silver shovel during a "Ground Breaking" photo op to be the guy they need to kill to save their home. The Wolfen even start targeted people who are investigating the deaths. Ferguson (Tom Noonan), a zoologist that Dewey and Whittington go to so that he can identify animal hairs found at the scene of the crime, is slaughtered by the Wolfen. This happens after we learn he loves wolves, hates how they were hunted to near extinction, and doesn't believe they could be the culprits.
So he was killed by the Wolfen because they hate sympathy?
Setting aside the title monsters not making any sense we now look to the film's bigger problem and that would be its pacing. This movie trundles along like the slowest police procedural in the history of film, and when I heard that Michael Wadleigh's cut of the movie, before his removal from the film in post-production, was over four and a half hours, my mind reeled in wonderment as to what the hell else he shot. A year later Larry Cohen would release Q: The Winged Serpent a film with very similar themes; it has police investigating a series of brutal killings that turn out to be done by a creature, but he managed to tell that story in 93 minutes. Not to mention the fact that the movie ends with them facing off against what is basically a dragon and not a bunch of wolves that have been living off the homeless…
…and like pretending to be Michael Myers.
Michael Wadleigh's only other screen credit is the 1970 Woodstock documentary and one wonders why the hell he was hired to helm a monster movie, but its certainly clear why he never directed another movie. The only thing this movie has going for it is the cast as across the board every part in this movie is handled really well, even non Native America Edward James Olmos is fine. Maybe if he'd stay closer to Whitley Strieber's book, which had no mysticism at all, we may have got a better movie. In 1983 Tony Scott would tackle Whitley Strieber's book The Hunger and by staying truer to the source material he gave us a film that was much better adaptation of Strieber's work than Wolfen was. I will say this though, Wolfen had a really nice tag line.
"They can hear a cloud pass overhead, the rhythm of your blood. They can track you by yesterday's shadow. They can tear the scream from your throat. Wolfen. There is no defense."
Wolfen (1981) – Review
Wolfen is an interesting police procedural but its pacing and inconsistent take on the film's antagonists makes it fail as a horror movie, thus makes it a hard film to recommend.

I'm officially the worst blogger ever. Sorry I haven't posted in over a week! :( I'm ashamed.
Anyway, last week was amazing. The bf came to visit me for a whole week and I had a great time introducing him to my crazy, amazing, splendiforous friends up here and showing him around beautiful Tallahassee. We ate at all my favorite restaurants in town, saw the sights, went to Lake Ella, partied it up for CBK's birthday (we made a banner for her and put it outside her door, we also decorated her door with pink and green crepe paper and sat outside with confetti poppers to surprise her at 8:45 a.m. :) She loved it), and watched a ton of movies. Friday afternoon we drove over to St. Augustine for a weekend at the beach to celebrate another friend's birthday. The best part... I GOT TANLINES!!! For all of you that don't know me, this is a BIG deal. I'm a blue-eyed blonde with a ton of freckles. Tanning does not come easy.
Unfortunately, now it's back to reality. Only two more weeks of classes and then one day of exams on exam week. Summer '09 officially begins April 30th around 7 p.m.!!
In other news... I received a call from my reporting professor last week with some exciting news. She called to tell me that she's not sure if the advanced reporting class will be offered in the fall but it looks like it will be. If it is, I definitely have a spot in it. Second bit of good news... the intro reporting class will definitely be offered in the fall and she asked me to be her TA. But wait, it just gets better! She then said she would like to offer me an internship at her station, WCTV, in the fall, saying that an internship with her at WCTV is basically her way of training you to work in her newsroom after graduation. I was practically offered a job after graduation!!!! So now that 74 I got on my poli sci research test last week doesn't even bother me. I've got a job waiting for me anyway!
The future is lookin' bright :)

1 Tbls. garlic powder
1 Tbls. Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce OR ↓

Italian bread crumbs - as needed for thickening
In a saucepan over medium-high heat, brown beef and onion, breaking up the beef while it cooks; drain off grease.-Add remaining ingredients, except breadcrumbs, to pot and simmer over low heat for 1 hour.-Slowly stir in bread crumbs to reach desired thickness.
serve chili over a hot dog in a bun and top with grated cheddar cheese and chopped onions. OR!---To make a Five Way, start with a large helping of spaghetti on a platter, ladle on the chili, spoon some kidney beans over top, sprinkle with chopped onions, and smother with grated cheddar cheese. Sometimes I just leave off the Onions and Beans and just make it a three way...just as good in my opinion!

I start by selecting 2 coordinating sheets of paper. The plain one should measure at least 12" x 6", unless you want to create a differently sized card.
I needed to cut my plain paper in half for it to be the desired size.
I then folded it in half to measure 6" x 6".
I measured and cut a piece of paper from the coordinating paper to fill 1/3 of the front of my card, allowing for a small border around the edges. Mine measured 4" x 5,5".
I then used a distress ink pad to ink the edges of the coordinating paper.
The colour I used for my inking throughout this project is Tim Holtz' Distress Ink in Pumice Stone. However, I suggest you use whatever you have available that will work with your colour scheme. Never get hung up on someone else's choice of colours.
I then find an A4 sheet of paper in a very pale yellow, almost cream colour. This will coordinate very well with my existing colour scheme.
I measure and cut a piece from this paper to fill the top 1/3 of my card. Mine measured 2" x 5,5".
I gather some paper crimps to emboss my project with.
The piece of paper that I cut for the top of my card is embossed.
I then ink the edges.
I also rub the ink pad lightly over the embossed paper to give slight colour to the embossed surface.
I stick this paper in place with double-sided tape.
I then use Tombow glue to glue some sunflowers onto the card.
I once again use double-sided tape to place the bottom paper over the flower stems and to keep it in place.
I then draw a very rough outline of a pumpkin on the coordinating paper I used. I need five segments on the pumpkin, but draw a 6th to make the pumpkin slightly wider than makes sense. This is to accommodate the overlap later on.
When I cut the segments apart, I cut only the 5 segments I need. Be sure to number them on the back so your pumpkin can be reassembled correctly. This is also shy my numbering reads from the back.
Each piece of the pumpkin is embossed differently from the other pieces.
Each piece is then inked around the edges and lightly on top of the embossing.
I use 3-D double-sided squares to attach the pieces to the card.
Make sure the center piece ends up on top of the other pieces when you overlap them.
I draw a stem and leave for the pumpkin on green cardboard.
This is inked on the right side. I then use a 3-D square on the stem and double-sided tape on the leave.
I attach it to the pumpkin.
The final touch is to glue a ribbon to the pumpkin.
You can now add any appropriate wording of your choice. This is a brilliant card for employers to give to their employees who worked hard throughout the year to help bring in the 'harvest' for the company.
A close-up view of the completed card.
