In the southern region of the country, spicy foods like chili are common and turmeric is an important ingredient. Also in this area, turmeric is used predominantly for its taste and distinguished yellow coloring. Mexico's gastronomy includes a variety of delicious cuisine that dates back to 1492, when Christopher Columbus discovered America. The Mexican population incorporated their local agricultural goods to each different meal. The most common staples of the Mexican diet are tortillas and a great variety of chilies, spices and cactuses from the countryside. Whether you eat tacos, fajitas, chimichangas, a hot and steamy pozole, or any kind of sauce, Mexico offers a variety of seasonings to entice all kinds of palates. In the Northern Region of Mexico (Sonora, Chihuahua and Zacatecas), Ranchera and Cabrita beef are common and usually accompanied with the peculiar and exclusive chili called Serrano. In the Western Region (Michoacan and Jalisco), one can easily find seasoned white fish and delicious Curandas. This region harvests Chilaca chili, which when dried turns to a black color. It is then called Pasilla chili and is consumed in thin slices or over a meal. In Central Mexico (Mexico City and Puebla), where you'll find a mix of Spanish and Aztec cuisine, the typical "Mole Poblano" is popular. Mole Poblano is a thick, dark sauce made with dried chilies, nuts, seeds, spices, cocoa and other delicious ingredients that are truly appreciated. Veracruz, on the Gulf Coast, offers excellent seafood, as well as good Atole. Jalapeno chili is the most common in the region, and its name refers to the many years it was harvested in Jalapa, Veracruz. On the Yucatan Peninsula, one can become fascinated by the Cochinita Pibil. The Yucatan peninsula's classic chili is the Habanero chili, which is known to be the hottest of all, and is eaten fresh, raw, broiled and cooked. When reference is made to Hindu food, not only does one think of curry, but also a great variety of spices such as turmeric, ginger and cumin. These spices make it a rich gastronomy and varied in flavor. The importance of the spices in Hindu cooking is such that food without it is considered appropriate only for the sick. In North India, especially the region of Kashmir, Heart, a festival of lamb and fish is celebrated. In this area, there is also Dehra Dun, a region famous for its aromatic rice called basmati. Here, also, lamb is important and it's cooked with asafetida, ginger, fennel seeds, red ground chili and other spice that are mixed with yogurt. Bread of this region is also varied and appetizing. In the area of Bengala, the East, where sheep, duck, pork and fish is consumed, the region has in interest in vegetarian food. The most elegant dish by far is the Hilsa, in which fish is cut in pieces and mixed with a paste made of mustard seeds, mustard oil, red chilies, green chilies, turmeric and salt all rolled up in a banana leaf and stem cooked. Traditional desserts are Rasagulla, Sandesh and Mishti Doi, which is a type of sweet yogurt. In South India, including the city of Hyderabad, the food is usually roasted or steamed, low in fat and accompanied by rice or wheat. A plate of rice is usually served to accompany a Sambha-rasan, thin soup with curry, a vegetable and curd preparation is called Pachadi. Coconut is an important ingredient in this region's cooking. A popular dish in the Kerela territory is Appams, a type of rice pancake and a thick stew. Traditional desserts are Mysore pak and Paya zum. In West India, covering Guajarat and Goa, where vegetarian food prevails, rice and beans cakes seasoned with coriander, coconut or tamarind are common, as well as a bread cracker called Khakhras. A typical snack in this region is one called Bhel Puri that consists of a spicy hot mixture of chickpeas, flour, chopped onions, green chilies, chopped coriander, tamarind and steamed potatoes. The most traditional dessert is the one called Peda, made out of evaporated milk (almost a curd), served in molds decorated with forms and figures. Jose Badia left Spain in 1960, looking for new opportunities in the New World. He first landed in Santiago de las Vegas, Cuba, where he became known for his hardware store, Badia & Garrigo. In 1963, with difficulties facing Cuba, Jose emigrated to Puerto Rico and entered the world of spices. After leaving Puerto Rico in 1967, the Badia family looked for new markets in Miami, the land of Cuban immigrants, building brand loyalty. There, Badia begins to grow with the help of another company, and begins to appear on grocery store shelves. Slowly, Badia becomes more popular and well-known, and it spreads to more grocery stores. By 1998, Badia has expanded worldwide. More than 350 UPC's, placement in 1100 points of sale in the U.S., international markets in three continents, international distribution and a dynamic, high-tech production line with an increase of 28,000 square feet at its new warehouse prove Badia is a great leader in its category. Badia strives to be the strongest ethnic line of spices in the marketplace, with the most competitive prices and an exceptional selection of products for consumers to choose from.

Brando in a Blue Blazer Slideshow
The Concours d'Elegance in Pebble Beach—or, in friendlier, less Frenchified terms, Pebble—is a fashionable affair. Many attendees change their automobiles as often as lesser mortals change their shirt, and for similar reasons—to match their shoes or because it's hot. The folks walking the greens make for a surprisingly stylish crowd for an auto show. You see plenty of wealthy Kansas land developers dressed down and on vacation, but you can't miss the preppy popinjays who'd fit right in in Milan. These stunning dressers are not all Europeans. And their ranks are swelled by the judges, a very recognizable presence on Sunday morning, all in their classic blue blazers, starched white shirts, and yellow ties, putting the cars through their paces. And of course, the cars set an amazingly stylish tone, all those classic cars, and postwar racing cars, and Euro touring cars, and the big coach saloons.
Pebble, the Westminster dog show of million-dollar cars, attracts the same Upper Richistani demographic as the Miami Basel art fair does, but the feel on the golf course and surrounding villas is very different. Maybe because cars, and the love of them, is more democratizing, because it's cross-generational, even cross-class—there are plenty of mechanics who know as much about the $27.5M 1967 Ferrari Spider as the guy who bought it, and the two types tend to enjoy talking about such prizes in ways that dissolve class difference—there's almost a wholesome feeling in the place. The rich guys are indulging a dream that started back when they only had enough money to buy a Ferrari poster, so all the guys who only ever had a poster cheer right along with them. It's also much more straight male—the triumph of golf and cars over art and fashion. The parties are less fabulous—more lawn party and 19th hole.
It's no coincidence that we keep mentioning Ferrari. It's the only marque that's mastered the trick of making a car that reliably appreciates in value. As a consequence, Ferrari has a mainline into the collectible market. Among rival car companies, there was a sense of futility and envy when this subject came up. From both ends, high and low, mass and custom, Lincoln and Cadillac, Lamborghini and Aston Martin, they all sounded a little like they had to play in a different league, the way golfers used to sound talking about Tiger a few years ago.

How to Beat Up a Face-Slasher
Hiram Monserrate lost his state senate seat after slashing his girlfriend's face with broken glass. Yesterday, Monserrate's former chief of staff was arrested for being a childish jerk. Everything Monserrate touches turns to shit. Now, you can legally punch him.
Hiram Monserrate got himself some nice attention yesterday when he announced that he'll be fighting in a charity boxing tournament to raise money for autism. Mostly the attention was like, "Seriously, boxing is your first public act after the whole wife-slashing thing?" But still, attention.
Let us turn our attention to the real question here: How to bring about Hiram Monserrate's crushing defeat in the ring. Here, a sneak peek at his training regimen:
As you see, he's pudgy, old, and slow. Just tap-tap the jab to the face and then POW, sink that right hand deep into his soft belly, game over. (For charity). He's a heavyweight, so all we need to do is to find a 200-pound female boxer/ domestic violence victim, and sponsor her. Suggestions?

Lack of Rainfall Hurting Cattle Ranchers
SANTA MARIA, Calif. - The lack of rainfall this year is hitting ranchers and growers hard throughout Santa Barbara County. Cattle ranchers are the hardest hit.
Paul Righetti is the owner of Paul Righetti Ranch Company in northern Santa Barbara County. "We've been running cattle, like I said, for four generations in Santa Barbara County and like I said, it's been a struggle here lately," said Righetti.
The hills where his cattle graze are bone dry. "Mother Nature just has not brought us a whole lot of water here of late, and usually in the winter time is when we get our feed and hope to get enough water to carry us on through to the end of the summer," said Righetti.
That hasn't happened for the last couple of years. Along with many ranchers, Righetti is feeling the water pinch, which means he has to spend more money to keep his business running.
"The price of livestock is doing well as far as the cattle, but so is the price of alfalfa," said Righetti.
For many parts of the county, 2012 and 2013 have ranked in the top five for the driest years in the last century. Some areas worse than others.
"Certain areas, especially the Santa Ynez, mid-county area and the Cuyama Valley are experiencing one of the driest years they have had in history," said Debbie Trupe, spokesperson for the agricultural commissioner's office.
And ranchers like Righetti are hopeful the rain comes soon, or else it could mean goodbye.
"If it doesn't rain in the next few years, I guess we're going to have to liquidate some cattle and figure out what we're going to do or relocate to where there is enough grass," said Righetti.

Why don't we read the Bible more than we do? We took that question to several leading Christian writers and thinkers this year, and they each offered their own perspective on the question. First up is apologist Lee Strobel with his answer to the question "What prevents people from reading and engaging with the Bible?"
Filed under 20th Anniversary, Video
Today is the first full day of Ramadan, the month-long Muslim period of fasting. Here are a few interesting and useful links about Ramadan, and how Christians should understand and approach Islam.

In addition to his writing, Christian apologist Lee Strobel has given many talks about interviews over the years, and many of them are archived on his website. Here are some of our favorites.

text: What We Do College Union is responsible for large event programming that reaches across campus with the goal of bringing together the student body to grow in their friendships, to play, and to strengthen our connection within our community. It is our belief that God desires for us to be a community that comes together to work hard but also one that comes together to relax and to connect with each other. Our large campus-wide events provide opportunities to make new friends while also making new memories with your life-long friends. During the year, College Union plans the Talent Show, on-campus dances, Air Jam, Class Films, Roller Disco, and concerts with contemporary and indie-based artists. On a weekly basis, CU also coordinates coffeehouse concerts known as LIVE! @ The Stupe as well as weekend concerts featuring campus bands. In addition, College Union collaborates with other campus departments to provide programming for Orientation Week, Alumni Weekend, and Family Weekend. How We Work As a board of 12 committed leaders, College Union is a group of students that tackle some of the largest events on campus. When selected in April for the upcoming year, these students hardly know one another but through the HoneyRock training along with working together to coordinate events, they form a strong camaraderie and ability to work with one another to produce memorable events. The board is comprised of 12 positions that are responsible for various areas. These include: president, business manager, events coordinators (4 position which cover the main events,) concerts manger, collaborative arts, and Beamer Center arts coordinator. College Union meets every week, and to be honest, no two meetings are quite the same. With the scope of events that we are responsible for, our pace is rapid but so much fun. For our weekly board meeting we try to balance the time to connect with one another and the time for business. Depending on the agenda, many board members will present reports, updates and details regarding upcoming activities and events. In addition to the large campus events, we also have weekly responsibilities for smaller programming within the Beamer Student Center. And of course, there are the spontaneous dinner parties and fun outings! As a College Union board member, some of the strongest memories you will take with you is from the day of big events. In order to produce these high caliber events, it takes a village. And for College Union that means working directly with campus service providers (Facilities Management, Media Resources, Public Safety, etc…) to ensure that the event goes off without a hitch.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla.— At the age of 5, the current quarterback of Alabama nearly died. His younger brother nearly watched it happen
Add that to the reasons to appreciate what AJ McCarron might accomplish Monday night, not to mention what it would mean to Corey McCarron, who'll be on the sideline watching.
The football side of this is as plain as Nick Saban's great stone face. AJ McCarron might not remind Alabama oldtimers of Joe Namath, but a win against Notre Dame would give him consecutive undisputed national championships, and the list of the quarterbacks who have done that the past 56 years would fit on a gum wrapper.
Tommie Frazier, Nebraska, 1994-95. That's it. Who cares about the Heisman when you're counting rings?
Besides that, the governor of Alabama doesn't get the scrutiny of the Crimson Tide quarterback, so it's like spending your young adulthood in a microwave oven.
"You never understand until you do it,'' McCarron said Saturday of life as an Alabama quarterback. "I can assure you of that.''
He seems as perfect a match for the Crimson Tide huddle as gravy for biscuits. It was Notre Dame defensive coordinator Bob Diaco, having studied a month of reruns of the Tide offense, who mentioned, "The quarterback conducts the game just like Nick Saban was taking the snap himself.''
But McCarron's road to Monday is more than pressure, record books and a state's mania. It is about a second chance and family.
Two brothers, in a Mobile hospital, Aug. 4, 1996 . . .
Corey would not leave the emergency room. Nearly 4, he did not understand much, only that his big brother was bleeding badly from having the left side of his face crushed in a jet-ski accident with his father. Laying there was the brother he played with in the backyard, imagining great football moments together, AJ doing the passing and Corey the catching.
He could not know that the prognosis was so bleak, their mother had already been given a contact card for grief counseling. Or, as Dee Dee Bonner would later tell 'BamaMag.com, that she had already decided to have her son buried in his little league uniform.
Two brothers, at Sun Life Stadium on Saturday, for the BCS National Championship media day . . .
Down below on the field, AJ was entertaining masses of reporters, as quarterbacks must. In the stands, Corey sat alone, a transfer tight end from the University of South Alabama who will not be eligible to play for the Tide until next season.
"I guess people see AJ the quarterback, but I still see my brother as a little kid, throwing the ball around with me,'' he said. "He's the bossiest brother in the world. And the laziest. I used to beat him up when I was younger, but I can't beat him up anymore. Coach Saban would get mad at me.''
Aug. 4, 1996?
"I was next on the WaveRunner that day. I was with my grandpa in the car and I was waiting my turn. And they never came back. I remember I was grabbing the door in the hospital room not wanting to leave, and my mom was trying to get me out.''
Only later would he find out the dire possibilities the doctors laid out.
"They told my mother he might die. They said he would be mentally handicapped. They said he would be blind,'' Corey said. "Now he's the quarterback at Alabama. I think it's a miracle.''
At the podium, AJ was handling questions that probe into every corner of his life. His penchant for shoes (he brought 30 pairs to Florida). His dating history (Miss Alabama). His view on Alabama's storied past.
"I was never an Alabama fan growing up,'' he said. "I couldn't tell you about that one bit.''
Aug. 4, 1996?
"I'm a huge believer of the man above. He gave me a second chance at life. You never know why you get that, and my mom and dad and I promised each other we would live life to the fullest after that. Not many kids can say they've had a second opportunity at life.''
It led to this weekend.
Said Corey, "I know my mom's cried like eight times already, seeing us together here. I have to sit back and look at this as a gift from God.''
Said AJ, on the part his brother played in his decision to return to Alabama next season, "That's one of the big reasons I'm staying around next year. I think he has a great opportunity to play, and hopefully we'll be able to relive some moments like we did when we were young.''
By the way, the brothers still jet ski. "Every summer,'' Corey said.
Then he headed for the team bus, passing AJ, who was still getting questions about a chance so few quarterbacks have ever seen. Little brother turned, listened, and smiled.

Coleman Exponent 4AA Pack-Away Lantern.
The Coleman Exponent 4AA Pack-Away Lantern is barely 3 3/16 inches tall when collapsed, easy pack away in your glove box, tool box, survival emergency kit, just about anywhere. This lantern is a tough cookie, the outer shell is made of shock-resistant and non-slip ABS, Shatter-resistant polycarbonate globe and the lower case is durable metalized.

Going Somewhere?
The number one question we receive after the cookie sale is: What paperwork do you need me to send in, if our troop is going (fill in the blank)?"
Here's a comprehensive rundown -- all in one place!
Trips, Outings, & Overnights
require a little advance planning by your Troop Trip Coordinator.
Some quick reminders:

stay overnight, drive, or handle troop funds, unless they are approved volunteers and current registered members.

-Overnights are not permitted
without the approval of an Overnight Trip/Camping Application.
This includes ALL overnights, whether at a state park, at one of our Council camps, the local church basement,
a hotel, or your backyard. Applications are to be submitted 2-4 weeks in advance, to email@example.com
A Troop/Trip Folder can save you
tons of time and will keep you ready for every meeting, activity, and travel opportunity throughout the year.
The leadership team-member who is with the girls, must be in charge of this folder.

-health forms, for girls and adults sealed in envelope for privacy.*

Each driver, and your at-home contact, should have an envelope containing copies of the first three items. *
Do not finalize any plans until your overnight trip has been approved by Council, 4 weeks prior to launch.
And, did you know......?
-Caravanning (following a lead driver) is not permitted.
-Emailed permission is valid; it should contains the details of the outing, the name of the girl, emergency contact numbers, and the name of the parent giving permission.
-Before you rent a vehicle (to charter a bus, rent a car, etc.) you must complete the Vehicle Rental Application and have it reviewed by a council staff member.

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood now has a stretch of highway named after him in his hometown of Peoria.
The section of Interstate 74 running through the city's downtown was the focus of a $500 million, multi-year upgrade that LaHood was a driving force behind.
But in a ceremony Wednesday, he insisted the honor shouldn't go to him alone but to all of those who worked on the project.
He boasted of the road's quality, saying, "You don't see many potholes … even after a brutal winter."
The (Peoria) Journal Star reports that Gov. Pat Quinn attended the ceremony.
The Democratic governor praised the Republican LaHood for his bipartisan leadership as a congressman and Cabinet secretary. Quinn said central Illinois is known for that unity of purpose.

Pump me up
"Overall the shoe is comfortable and is true to the online pictures as well as specifics written in the details. The inside of the shoe is comfortable and has that extra cushion that the Soft Style/Hush Puppies brand tends to offer. Very sturdy and excellent coverage for your foot and the sole has good flexibility when walking in them. I wouldn't recommend this shoe for long distance walking but for an every day use for the office or light walking here and there, they are superb. You definitely get the best bang for your buck with this purchase."

Thursday 10 September 2009: Virgin Blue Airlines today joined with the Public Interest Advocacy Centre (PIAC) to announce the implementation from midnight tonight of changes to the application of the airline's Independent Travel Criteria.
The changes give Guests with special needs more freedom to make their own choices about independent travel. Importantly, the changes will also have the effect of making travel on Virgin Blue more accessible, particularly for the elderly and people with disabilities.
The airline is making the changes after feedback from Guests and extensive consultation with Australia's peak disability and advocacy groups (including PIAC) and the Australian Human Rights Commission.
From tonight, any Guest who:
is able to understand and respond to briefings about emergency procedures; and
does not require personal assistance during flight (i.e. assistance with going to the toilet, administering medication and food and beverage consumption);
may travel unaccompanied.
"We are continuously reviewing all of our processes and we are extremely pleased that through consultation with a wide range of interest groups we have been able to introduce changes to the way we apply our Independent Travel Criteria, which is more attractive to our Guests with special needs, while at the same time not compromising our commitment to ensuring the safety of all of our Guests and Crew," said Andrew David, Chief Operating Officer, Virgin Blue Airlines Group.
"A key principle underpinning the change is that in the past we have been prescriptive in relation to deciding whether a Guest meets our Independent Travel Criteria. We are now giving some of our Guests the freedom to choose to travel independently."
Responding to the change, the Chief Executive Officer of the Public Interest Advocacy Centre, Ms Robin Banks, said: "We commend Virgin Blue for demonstrating that they are willing to take a positive and inclusive approach to changing the way they operate to improve the travel experience for people with disability."
"The changes to Virgin Blue's Independent Travel Criteria policy - and more importantly their application in practice - certainly promote equitable travel and are a positive example to all airlines," she said.

3rd Annual Windows of Hope!
On the night of November 26th, a group of volunteers from Ashton Service Group participated in the 3rd annual Windows of Hope at the Richmond Auto Mall. Our busy elves spent the evening painting festive themes on the windows of Cowell Volkswagen in the Richmond Auto Mall to raise money for the Richmond Christmas Fund.
Many families in Richmond live with only the bare necessities. As such, this program aims to distribute grocery vouchers and gifts for less fortunate families and children across Richmond. The Window's of Hope program encourages dealerships to donate money to the Christmas Fund instead of paying for window decorations. In exchange, a team of Ashton Service Group volunteers will paint and decorate the dealership's windows free of charge, benefiting both the dealership and the Richmond Charismas Fund. This year's Windows of Hope was a great success thanks to our volunteers and the generosity of Cowell Volkswagen.

Question: The weather is getting colder and colder, how can I prepare my furnace for winter?
When it starts getting cold, you don't want to turn on the furnace only to discover that it's not working. Your best bet is to hire a professional to have them inspect, clean and check for unhealthy gases to ensure everything is in order. However, there are a few simple steps you can take right now to get ready for winter.
Check all the vents around your home and open them if they are closed. Ensure that any household items are not sitting on top or in front of your air vents. This can dramatically reduce the efficiency of your furnace by impeding airflow. Remove any items near the furnace to avoid any potential fire hazards. Check your furnace filters regularly and consider changing them if they are in dirty or in poor condition. You can also upgrade to a HEPA filter which will increase the energy efficiency of your furnace. Changing your furnace filters regularly will ensure a high standard of air quality in your home.
It is also important to have carbon monoxide and radon detectors installed and inspected for everyone's safety.
Call Ashton Service Group to schedule a quote for your furnace inspection at 778-802-1607.
Ask The Expert- Furnace
Question: Will my new furnace work like the old one I had?
A new furnace will not operate the same way as an older one. As with electronics and cell phones changing, furnace systems have also changed in recent years. These changes will affect how your system operates and what you notice about them.
Furnaces have become more efficient with high efficient systems and you can see a number of them the marketplace. Consumers, government agencies and manufacturers all see higher efficiency as a way to conserve our natural resources while reducing consumer energy costs. Furnaces are now designed with high efficiency in mind and it is tough to find and purchase furnaces that were produced more than 15 years ago due to more government regulations.
To achieve higher efficiencies, new gas furnaces must move more air over the heat exchanger than older furnaces so that as much heat as possible can be sent throughout the house. The air that comes out of your furnace registers may not seem as warm as the air from your old furnace, but it will heat your house just as well. Better airflow can improve the heat in your home by reducing air temperature differences from the ceiling to the floor.
Ashton Service Group in Vancouver has a dedicated furnace repair and replacement team who can provide you with expert advice and information about the best furnace options for your home. Feel free to contact us and we can schedule an appointment at your convenience.
Ask the Expert- Furnace
Question: What is a 2-stage furnace and are they better than a single-stage furnace?
Two-stage furnaces have two levels of output: they can run on a low setting (first stage) to heat your home during mild/cool evenings and on high (second stage) when the days are colder. The low setting normally meets the heating demand of a home 80% of the time and as the furnace runs for a longer period, the heat is evenly distributed throughout the home. Two stage furnaces can adjust their output from the low setting to high when the temperature drops so you do not have to keep adjusting the thermostat.
There are a number of benefits with having a 2-stage furnace such as the noise of the furnace is quieter as there is no "kick" or blast of air when the furnace turns on to full capacity as it is switching from the low setting to high. The low setting allows the filter to capture more contaminants because air is constantly passing through it. The two-stage furnace burns less fuel as it normally operates on the lower setting before switching to high to meet demand unlike the standard one that runs only at full capacity and then shuts off when the desired temperature is reached.
Call Ashton Service Group, your Richmond furnace replacement company to schedule a quote for a new furnace before the weather gets any colder at 778-802-1607.
Having A Safe Thanksgiving
Safety in the kitchen is important, especially on Thanksgiving when there is a lot of activity and people at home. Here are a few reminders that will help make the holiday a little less stressful.
- Stay home when cooking your turkey and check on it frequently.
- Keep children away from the stove. The stove will be hot and kids should stay 3 feet away.
- Make sure kids stay away from hot food and liquids. The steam or splash from vegetables, gravy or coffee could cause serious burns.
- Keep the floor clear so you don't trip over toys, pocketbooks, jackets or bags.
- Be sure electric cords from an electric knife, coffee maker, or mixer are not dangling off the counter that can be easily pulled or caught accidently.
- Never leave candles unattended.
- Don't place glass casseroles or lids on the stove or burner – they can heat up or even explode.
- Make sure your smoke alarms are working. Test them by pushing the test button.
- Buy a food thermometer if you don't already have one. A cooked whole turkey is safe at a minimum internal temperature of 74°C throughout the bird and stuffing. If you're thawing the turkey in the refrigerator, we also recommend using a refrigerator thermometer to make sure the temperature is no higher than 5°C.
Most importantly is to remember to take time to enjoy the holiday with your friends and family.
Happy Thanksgiving from Ashton Service Group!
Richmond Caring Companies: Growing Business While Growing the Community
For many companies it's simply a place, a location, a point on a map. For some, though, it's more than that. It's a way of thinking, deeply ingrained in their workplace culture and shared by all employees. "Community-minded" is an accurate term, yet doesn't quite go far enough. Because these companies don't merely think about giving back. They plan how they can make the greatest impact in their community, and then they act, repeating the process again and again.
As a result, their reputation grows. So does employee morale. More and more qualified candidates start sending in resumes, hoping to work for a company that puts community first. Meanwhile, business picks up. Clients and customers choose these companies because of what they represent. They offer quality products and services, but they also offer peace of mind: it feels good to support a business that's socially engaged.
These types of companies can be found all over the world, but, thanks to an innovative program launched in 2011, Richmond is quickly becoming a hotspot. The Richmond Caring Companies program is a joint initiative of Volunteer Richmond Information Services, the Richmond Chamber of Commerce, Coast Capital Savings, and Ashton Service Group. Through a series of workshops and consultations, participating businesses receive the tools and resources needed to create their own corporate volunteering policies, in addition to learning how to identify partnership opportunities with local non-profit organizations.
The first group of Caring Companies to complete the program included Ashton Service Group, Back in Motion, Beavis Wong & Associates, Misty Mountain Specialties, Richmond Funeral Home, and Scotiabank. They did more than take part in the workshops and consultations, however; their employees also volunteered at the first ever Richmond Day of Caring, held at the Sharing Farm. The event received local media coverage (even the Mayor paid a visit), helping to highlight the incredible work of the companies involved.
Wondering how you can get involved?
To reserve your space, call 604-279-7020 or visit www.volunteerrichmond.ca and complete an online application form. Don't miss this opportunity to grow your business while growing the community.
Fall Maintenance Tips
Summer seems like it was a while ago with the back to school and returning to work mode. Fall is here even if it isn't official yet and it is best to begin carrying out some home maintenance to prepare for the cooler days ahead.
1. The number one thing that affects a person's bill is the heat they use in their house. Heating accounts for approximately 70% of a person's energy bill.
The simple act of turning down your thermostat at night or while you are gone during the day will go a long way to reducing your energy bills. If you have trouble remembering to turn the temperature down, consider installing a programmable thermostat.
2. Install weather stripping or caulking around windows and doors to prevent drafts and lowering your heating bill.
3. Consider installing a carbon monoxide alarm near the fireplace and furnace. Also remember to test your smoke alarms and change the batteries too.
4. Clean your dryer vent once every 6 months. Move your dryer away from the wall, unplug it, and vacuum behind it. (If it's a gas dryer, turn off the gas supply to the dryer at the appliance shutoff valve.)
Unhook the tube that leads to the vent and clear as much lint from the tube as you can. Grab a shop vacuum, go outside, and tackle the outside dryer vent as well.
5. Replace the filter in your furnace. Consider having an Ashton heating professional check your heating system to ensure optimal performance and discover minor problems before they turn into costly repairs. Clean your ducts to better your heating system's efficiency as well as to reduce household dust and to provide relief to those with respiratory problems.
Ashton is helping people get their furnace checked before the weather gets cooler. Book your Ashton furnace tune up before Sept. 30th and save 40%; book before Oct. 14th and save 30% off the service.

Ask the Expert- Furnace
Question: Are there any rebates available for my furnace?
Yes there is.
I know you probably haven't put any thought into your furnace for some time. Believe it or not, but now is the perfect time to start thinking about your furnace! In order for your furnace to operate at maximum capacity, annual service is strongly recommended.
There are 3 reasons to have your furnace tuned up before winter.
#1 reason is to prevent break downs. The last thing anyone wants is for their heat to fail on one of the coldest nights of the year. Service will also prolong the life of your furnace.
#2 reason is efficiency. Leaving a furnace un-serviced, runs the risk of increased energy costs.
#3 reason is safety. Your furnace creates harmful gases that are meant to be directed outside. For a number of reasons, those dangerous gases can make their way into your home and in a worst case scenario can result in death.
To motivate people to get their furnaces serviced, Fortis BC is offering a $25 grant that expires on August 30th.
If you are interested in having your furnace serviced- call Ashton at 604-283-2383 and one of our licenced technicians will be happy to get your furnace running at 100% for the upcoming winter.
Why Have A Service Plan Agreement?
A Service Plan agreement is a great way of protecting your home in the event of equipment breaking down. A service plan is insurance for your furnace, boiler, air conditioner etc. You hope not to have to use it but it is there in case you do.
If your heating and cooling equipment break down when you need them to be working- it can cause a lot of stress and has lots of costs associated with replacing them.
If you choose to purchase our Ashton Value Plan (Silver or Gold), you will receive priority service for plumbing, heating and air conditioning calls (routine or emergency), we will place emergency valve tags on all your safety valves so you will know which ones to turn off in the event of an emergency.
You will also pay no emergency service fees if something occurs after normal business hours and you will receive a 15% discount on all repairs.
What's more if you purchase our Gold Ashton Value Plan, you will receive an annual performance tune up of your heating or cooling system to keep your systems running efficiently. We will call you to schedule your tune-up or you have the option of calling us when you would like to have the tune up done.
To learn more about our Ashton Value Plans.
Ask The Expert
Question: Are there ways I can increase the efficiency of my home's heating and cooling systems?
Yes, there are different things you can do to increase the efficiency of your heating and cooling system:
1. Clean and replace your filters regularly.
2. Your system will heat and cool more evenly when the blower is in the "on" position. The blower provides constant air movement throughout the home, and allows for better filtration.
3. Install shades, drapes, shutters, or screens on windows that are exposed to extreme sunlight to keep room temperatures at moderate levels.
If you notice that it is taking longer for your heating/cooling system to heat up or cool down or if your heating bills have been increasing and you don't know why—they may be signs that your heating/cooling system has a problem.
Phone Ashton Service Group and we can have one of our technicians help you diagnose the problem and provide recommendations on the best course of action at 604-283-2383.

Exhaust Fans
In almost every home, the kitchen is a common place for gatherings. Holidays are a popular time to spend hours in the kitchen cooking various foods while bonding with friends and family. For this reason, most people prefer their kitchen to look its best, but even when it is in tip-top shape, pollution in the air can still linger. Due to odors, smoke, grease, and moisture produced by cooking, the kitchen area is often a major pollutant source in homes. The pollutants in the air can stick to upholstery, carpets, ceilings, furniture, and walls which will require cleaning regularly. Continuously cleaning these things could be costly and time-consuming. These problems can be helped by installing kitchen exhaust fans in the home.
Those who are doing a lot of broiling and frying foods will benefit significantly from reliable kitchen exhaust fans with light. Certain cooking methods can produce unseen particles and grease mist which can cover kitchen surfaces should they not be exhausted or vacuumed to the outside of the home. Without this vacuuming system the inside air will be filled with harmful contaminants and various agents which can cause illness. Cooking can also release a lot of excess moisture into the air which can make the air inside extremely humid. Without proper and adequate kitchen ventilation, the quality of the air can lead to nausea, skin rashes, allergies, headaches, asthma, and other issues related to breathing. It may also cause mildew, fungus, and mold which can cause more severe health issues. There is also a probability that the humidity will warp furniture and cause paint on walls to peel and crack.
There is a wide selection of great-looking kitchen exhaust fans that can help in keeping your kitchen well-ventilated. Range hoods, fans, and exhausts are all designed specifically to help maintain a comfortable atmosphere and fresh air in the home. There are various manufacturers that offer great quality exhaust fans that will not only help keep your house and family healthy, but will be an absolute stunning addition to your home decor.
The Hunter Fan Company offers traditional craftsmanship for tomorrow's innovations. This manufacturer has roots tracing back to 1886 making them pioneers in new, smart ways to circulate, condition, and clean air in homes. They have set a high standard in quality and their products will help transform homes into healthy, stylish, and comfortable homes that look and feel the way they were meant to. Hunter offers styles which range from something classic and something more contemporary and they are specifically designed for homes of today. They create designs that are stylish so beauty can be added to any and every room of your house.
Hunter is a manufacturer of bathroom exhaust fans, thermostats, humidifiers, and portable fans which are simply gorgeous yet tough enough to give them lasting quality. Using Hunter products will help in keeping our planet clean and green. These products can help in decreasing energy usage as will without you having to sacrifice comfort. This can help save you money on your electric bill significantly. Another great way to save money is to use energy star ceiling fans, they cool efficiently. Clearly the Hunter Fan Company takes great pride in providing the perfect product not only for the consumer, but for the environment as well. Browse through the Hunter products and see the beautiful collection for yourself. Whether you're looking for elegant designs such as Montesino, contemporary designs such as Ventura, or an exhaust fan that is quiet in sound, you are sure to find your perfect fan with Hunter products.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 13:33 GMT le 25 mai 2010
The extratropical low pressure system (90L) approaching North Carolina has weakened some over the past 24 hours, and has a much reduced chance of developing into a subtropical storm. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is giving 90L a less than 20% chance of developing into a depression or tropical/subtropical storm, and anticipates not writing any more special advisories on it. Last night's ASCAT pass saw a large area of 35 mph winds to the north and east of the center, and buoy 41048 to northeast of 90L's center was seeing sustained E winds of 31 mph, gusting to 36 mph this morning. Bermuda radar showing an area of moderate to heavy rain has now moved north of the island, and seas are running 10 - 15 feet in the outer waters of Bermuda today.
Figure 1. Visible satellite image of 90L and the Central American disturbance this morning.
Strong upper-levels winds out of the west are creating about 20 knots of wind shear over 90L, and the shear has been gradually decreasing over the past day. Visible satellite loops show that 90L has a well-defined surface circulation. The main thunderstorm activity is in a large curved band to the north and northeast of the center. This band is several hundred miles removed from the center, which is characteristic of subtropical storms. Sea surface temperatures are near 24°C today and will remain in the 23 - 24°C range the next two days. These relatively cool SSTs have hampered formation of much heavy thunderstorm activity, as has the presence of a large area of dry air to the west, as seen on water vapor satellite loops .
The system will move slowly towards the Southeast U.S. coast today, making its closest approach to the coast on Wednesday, when most of the models indicate the center will be 300 - 500 miles southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. All of the major models currently predict that 90L will not make landfall, but will move slowly eastward out to sea on Thursday, when a trough of low pressure moving across the Eastern U.S. picks up the storm. There presently isn't much to be concerned with about this storm, though Bermuda may get more heavy rain and high seas from the storm late this week as it moves out to sea. Wunderbloggers Weather456 and StormW have more on 90L.
Central American disturbance
An area of disturbed weather has developed just off the Pacific coast of Guatemala. The disturbance will move inland over Central America during the last half of the week, potentially bringing flooding rains to portions of Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, and Nicaragua. There is the potential for the disturbance to push into the Western Caribbean late this week and pose a threat to develop into a tropical depression. While there is high wind shear over the northern Caribbean, shear should be low enough to allow development should the disturbance stay in the southern reaches of the Caribbean. Any storm that develops in the Caribbean in the coming week would get steered to the northeast and will not pose a threat to the Gulf of Mexico.
Tornadoes rip through the Plains
The Storm Prediction Center logged 17 reports of tornadoes yesterday, with twisters reported in South Dakota, North Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas. In addition, there were 158 hail reports and 126 reports of damaging winds. Fortunately, there were no deaths or injuries reported, and it was a good day for the Vortex2 tornado field research project. Former wunderblogger Mike Theiss caught up with a very picturesque tornado near Faith, South Dakota, and has posted some spectacular video of the tornado.
Figure 2. Large tornado near Faith, South Dakota on May 24, 2010 just misses hitting a church. Image credit: Mike Theiss, ultimatechase.com. Check out his spectacular video of the tornado.
I'll be back later today to discuss how a hurricane might affect the oil in the Gulf of Mexico.

A Vital Downtown, A Vital City
Dear Alibi ,
Calling all Downtown and near-Downtown Albuquerque residents: Are you an advocate for living in or near Downtown? I am! I value the accessibility and walkability to our anchor of cultural resources such as Old Town, museums, the zoo, the Botanic Garden, the Aquarium, the National Hispanic Cultural Center, the KiMo and Albuquerque Little Theatre. Equally important to my quality of life are the natural resources—the public parks, the minutes-away bike paths, the Bosque and the river. Not to mention incredibly easy post office and airport access. Living Downtown is like having my cake and eating it, too. I have everything I need just around the corner—my auto repair shop, dry cleaner, shoe repairman, hairdresser, bookstore, community arts center, local drug store, restaurants offering every price range and variety I could desire, a multiplex cinema, loads of live music options and art galleries, and convenient public transportation. It's all there for me to enjoy—as long as I use it!
Everyone knows "if you build it, they will come." But the opposite is also true. Use it, or lose it! I was enjoying a great meal in one of our newest Downtown eateries the other day and listened as the owner expressed doubt about his business being able to survive the winter due to lack of patronage. Please, neighbors, it is vitally important to support with our wallets and consumer choices our local Downtown merchants. If vitality of your Downtown is important to your quality of life, let the businesses know you value them. Let your presence and patronage be their presents this holiday season, and beyond!
Margaret Lopez
Shop Local
Dear Alibi,
I would like to thank Gov. Susana Martinez for encouraging New Mexicans to shop at small businesses (as reported in the press recently). I am not a Republican or a Martinez supporter. However, I appreciate her gesture because small business is so important to our economic recovery.
Unfortunately, many of my neighbors and friends are of the mindset that they must do all their shopping at the world's largest retail chain. It is a familiar habit. But habits can be broken for the good of New Mexico and America.
Small businesses provide 56 percent of all private sector jobs in New Mexico, according to the U.S. Small Business Administration. Also, 96 percent of our state's employers are small businesses. These people need our moral support and our dollars to improve the local economy.
I was appalled to read in Time magazine's Dec. 5 issue that more than one-third of the business done by big American companies in now done in other countries like China. This seems very unpatriotic. Does this mean one-third of us folks in New Mexico need to move to China to obtain jobs and business opportunities? China also is the No. 1 choice for new investment by America's largest firms, according to Time magazine. It feels as if big business in the USA has turned its back on its own people.
That's why I urge my neighbors to put some effort into locating and patronizing local businesses. "One-stop shopping" is not helping us out of the recession.

A Letter From Mr. Logic
Dear Alibi,
[Re: Feature, "Talk Jock Signs Off," Dec. 8-14] I'll give the morning show one year. It's not because the others aren't talented. It's just what business wants. Just like the Alibi. Continuously printing letters from The Don and ¡Ask a Mexican! is just as stupid. What happened to Ask Kat? That's why the Alibi is free; you can only give it away.
Jose Jimenez
