2003 Chrysler Town & Country ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
The luxury of versatility.
For some people, luxury means a deserted beach, a bottle of sunscreen, a new mystery novel, leaving everything behind. For others, luxury means traveling with all the comforts of home. If you fit in the latter category, if you're certain that luxury means never having to say, 'I'm sorry, but there isn't enough room to take that with us,' then Chrysler built the Town & Country for you.
With its responsive engine, smooth, quiet ride, upscale appointments and power accessories, the Chrysler Town & Country drives like a refined luxury vehicle. But it also offers seating for seven (available in leather, of course) and cavernous cargo space, so nothing (and no one) will ever have to be left behind. You can even order Town & Country with all-wheel-drive. How much more luxury can you stand?
Okay, some upmarket SUVs make similar claims. But the Town & Country does it without the excess weight and bulk. It even fits in your garage. You enjoy the same chair-height seating as your SUV-driving neighbors, but with a low, flat floor, so you don't need a ladder to climb in. And you don't need to be a Houdini to squeeze into the third-row seats, either. Once in, the Town & Country delivers better handling than most of those truck-based SUVs. And it costs less than most of them.
Chrysler last redesigned the Town & Country for 2001, and it remains among the best minivans on the market. The interior is versatile with seats that fold and remove. Powerful V6 engines deliver crisp performance. The ride is smooth and quiet. And it's wrapped in an attractive design.
For 2003, Chrysler has added standard equipment at most trim levels, an optional power sunroof, and three new option packages for the Town & Country LX. Power adjustable pedals are expected to be available late in 2003.
Midway through 2002, the Chrysler Town & Country line expanded to five trim levels, with the new high-value eL joining the existing LX, eX, LXi, and Limited. For 2003, the LXi and Limited are offered with either front-wheel-drive or all-wheel-drive; all eL, LX, and eX models are front-wheel drive.
All models are built on a long, 119.3-inch wheelbase, making the Town & Country among the biggest minivans on the market.
The standard engine in the eL and LX is a 3.3-liter overhead-valve V6 producing 180 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque. A 3.8-liter overhead-valve V6 developing 215 hp and 245 lb-ft is optional in eL and LX, standard in eX, LXi, and Limited. All models come with a four-speed automatic transmission with adaptive electronic control (so it learns your driving style and shifts accordingly). All come with four-wheel-disc brakes and ABS (anti-lock brakes).
Retail prices range from $23,870 for the eL to $37,945 for the Limited AWD, the latter loaded with leather and other features. Chrysler's Town & Country Limited feels like a luxury vehicle that happens to be a minivan. In between, a broad range of models meet varying needs and price ranges.
The model lineup can be a little confusing, because the bargain-priced eL comes with some standard equipment (such as three-zone climate control) that the $25,165 LX does not. On the other hand the LX offers some options (including the rear-seat video system) that are not available on the eL. Both come with power windows, heated mirrors, cruise control, tilt steering, seven-passenger seating, multi-stage air bags and ABS. Both feature dual sliding doors, with power an option for the passenger side.
The eX ($26,315) represents a definite step up, with a power-up and power-down rear liftgate, dual power sliding doors, a removable powered center console, AM/FM/CD/cassette stereo with six speakers, second-row bucket seats and split 50/50 roller seats in the extreme rear, a power eight-way driver's seat, and three-zone temperature control. The eX also comes with traction control and 16-inch tires and aluminum wheels. Dual power sliding doors, a security alarm, and a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls have been added to the eX equipment list for 2003.
The LXi ($29,460) adds automatic temperature control, an air filtration system, 10-speaker Infinity audio, a universal garage door opener, an electroluminescent instrument panel, and, new for 2003, an Electronic Vehicle Information Center (trip computer, etc.), auto-dimming mirrors, third-row lamps and assist handles, and a roof rack. Color-keyed lower bodyside cladding distinguishes the LXi as an uplevel model.
Leather upholstery is optional on both eX and LXi. Options added last year include DVD video and remote audio for the rear seat passengers (complete with wireless headphones) and a tire-pressure monitoring system.
The ultimate-luxury Limited ($35,620) coddles its occupants with premium-grade leather, memory seats, and a six-disc CD changer. It is distinguished externally by its color-keyed roof rack and chromed aluminum wheels.
All-wheel-drive editions of the LXi and Limited list for $33,333 and $37,945, respectively.
Side-impact airbags are optional on all models ($390).
In addition to the Town & Country line, Chrysler also markets the Voyager minivan, which is built on a 113.3-inch wheelbase and, with more basic equipment and appointments, represents a strong value in the family-transport market. (See separate NewCarTestDrive.com review of the Voyager line.)
Form follows function in the minivan world; that's why we don't usually think of minivans when we think of stylish designs. In spite of this, the Chrysler Town & Country presents a sleek, solid stance.
It looks aerodynamic in profile, with its raked windshield, rising roofline and beltline, and fast D-pillars framing canted rear windows. Crisp, formal creases have replaced the rotund forms of the 1990s. Pronounced wheel arches complement sharp character lines that flank the integrated grille. Rear-end styling tends to make Town & Country look wider and not as tall as it really is. Huge taillamps feature clear red lenses and jewel-like reflectors.
There's really nothing mini about this minivan. Compared to other minivans, the Town & Country ranks among the largest, at 200.5 inches long and 78.6 inches wide. Its wheelbase stretches a full-size 119.3 inches. The Honda Odyssey is 201 inches long on a 118-inch wheelbase; the Oldsmobile Silhouette 201.4 inches long on a 120-inch wheelbase; and the Ford Windstar 201 inches long a 120.7-inch wheelbase.
Dual power sliding doors (standard on eX, LXi and Limited) can add considerable convenience to your daily life, particularly when you find yourself herding children or carrying two armloads of gear. Press a button on the remote transmitter and the door slides open; press the button again and it slides closed and seals. From the second-row seat, the power sliding door can be opened and closed by pressing a button; it can also be opened manually. A safety lock switch hidden on the trailing edge of the door can be engaged to prevent a child from opening the sliding door from inside. The power sliding doors can be fussy when passengers are in a hurry, however, and they usually are in a hurry.
Pulling on the outside lever opens the power door manually, with just slightly more effort than opening a regular manual door. Our LX came with a power sliding door on the passenger's side and a manually operated sliding door on the driver's side; the manual door is easy to operate, smoothly sliding open and closed with the pull of a nicely designed lever. The outside door handles are comfortable, easy to operate and well designed; they impart a feeling of quality in appearance and operation. All door handles should be this good, but they aren't.
A power rear liftgate (optional on eL and LX, standard on eX, LXi, and Limited) adds further convenience when picking up groceries or supplies. Press a button on the remote control and the liftgate opens or closes automatically. It's great feature for those all-too-frequent times when you approach the van with an armload.
The Chrysler Town & Country is a comfortable place to spend some road time. It provides seating for up to seven people, and all positions are roomy and comfortable. That's something that can't be said for a lot of sport-utility vehicles. Cup holders are available at each seat, and the rearmost passengers each get their own storage console, though the plastic lid is flimsy. Seat belt anchors are height-adjustable in the front and middle rows. Our one complaint is that the center row isn't adjustable, and can be tight when the front seat is adjusted all the way back.
A low floor makes getting in and out through the side doors easy. Caesar, our 160-pound English mastiff puppy, requires a ramp to get into an SUV; but he stepped easily and without hesitation through the side door of the Town & Country. Judging by his expression, this is one of his favorite vehicles.
Access through the rear hatch is a bit higher, however. Caesar prefers a ramp to get in that way. Loading groceries is no problem, though. Plastic grocery bags can be looped onto special hooks on the backs of the rear seats. There's a fair amount of cargo space behind the third row, which is not true of the Voyager and other standard-length vans. An adjustable cargo organizer (optional on front-drive LX, LXi, and Limited) fits on the floor behind the rear seat and provides a bin for six grocery bags, handy for keeping things from sliding around in.
We found the second-row bucket seats and third-row split bench easy to remove. All or any one of the four seats can be popped out and rolled away in three quick steps, providing a wide variety of seating and cargo configurations. Reinstalling them takes a little more practice, as you need to learn how to line them up before snapping them into place. Each seat is heavy enough that care should be exercised when lifting it off the garage floor. The seats can also be folded down to form a continuous load floor for 4x8-foot sheets of plywood and other large items.
Many other features add day-to-day convenience. A time delay switch leaves the headlights on while you walk from the van to your door. Auxiliary outlets, two up front and one amidships, provide convenient power for gadgets. Four serious coat hooks make picking up the dry cleaning a more elegant chore; few manufacturers do coat hooks this well. Three dome lights illuminate the cabin well. An available overhead console houses power switches for the rear hatch and sliding doors, along with compass and outside temperature readouts. The rear quarter windows, as well as the front door windows, are power operated. Dark tinting on the side windows provides privacy.
A center console houses a cellular phone holder, power outlet, storage tray, light, tissue holder, and a map holder. The console is removable and can be placed between either the front or middle seats. The organizer inside the console seemed a bit high on the bogusity scale.
Small buttons make the audio system a challenge to learn and use while driving, and the column shifter blocks the driver's view of the volume knob and seek button. Steering wheel audio controls are available on selected models and should eliminate this problem. A new feature for 2003 is the availability of Sirius satellite radio.
Cruise control buttons are conveniently located on the steering wheel. Heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls are functional, but rudimentary, on the LX, with his and hers sliders for temperature control. Automatic temperature controls on LXi and Limited models are nicer. A separate knob controls the rear fan, a great feature for kids and pets on hot days. Handsome and straightforward analog instruments use black-on-white graphics that reverse at night. An electronic odometer doubles as the trip meter when a button is pressed. Turn signal indicators and warning lights reside in a thin hooded panel above the instruments.
Lots of glass means good visibility all around, though the t.
Driving Impression
Driving the Chrysler Town & Country is pleasant and enjoyable. It rides smoothly and feels very stable at highway speeds. It handles competently and seems surprisingly nimble for its size. Its power-assisted steering is light, making it easy to maneuver and park in crowded lots, and the front air dam isn't so low to the ground that it scrapes on curbs. Careful suspension tuning, a new steering system and a rigid structure have raised the Town & Country's handling prowess to that of the leading minivans.
Our LX came with the base 3.3-liter V6. It delivered lively acceleration; we felt like we had plenty of motor to jackrabbit away from standstills or pull off that big pass. The engine is smooth and quiet when cruising, although it makes itself known under full-throttle acceleration.
Wind noise is minimal. Chrysler engineers worked hard on this, and as a result, carrying on a conversation inside the Town & Country is easy and pleasant. Special gaskets, re-engineered suspension attachments and other measures have resulted in a quiet cabin, even when cruising at 70 mph.
Four-wheel disc brakes stop the Town & Country quickly and without drama. Heavy-duty brake rotors and new calipers ensure strong braking performance, durability, and improved pedal feel compared to previous-generation models. ABS helps the driver maintain steering control in an emergency or panic stop.
Traction control (standard on front-drive eX and Limited, available on LXi) reduces front wheelspin on slippery surfaces. Even better is the available all-wheel-drive system, which redirects power to the tires with the best grip; all-wheel drive is a smart option for drivers who live in the Snowbelt or in the Pacific Northwest or anywhere it rains a lot. An automatic load-leveling system is available that automatically trims the Town & Country to a level ride height. That's nice when towing.
Chrysler Town & Country is among the best minivans available. Chrysler wrote the book on minivans and the Chrysler Group has sold more than 9 million minivans since 1983; it continues to dominate the market, outselling GM and Ford by a two-to-one margin, and outselling Honda by nearly four-to-one.
This new Town & Country shows why. It's roomy, comfortable, practical, powerful and nimble. Order the Limited model and add the word luxurious to that list.

BGR exclusively confirmed late last week that Research In Motion (RIMM) would begin laying off 3,000 workers, and this latest round of reductions indeed began this past Monday. The Canadian Press now reports that RIM's Halifax office is the latest facility to be hit. Citing statements made by Nova Scotia's economic development minister, the news organization says that nearly a quarter of RIM's 400 staffers in Halifax have been laid off. The minister claims that the cuts are temporary, though he didn't elaborate, and RIM confirmed to the Canadian Press that the reductions are part of the 5,000 jobs RIM plans to cut by the end of 2012.
UPDATE: BGR has learned that figures reported by Canadian Press are not accurate. We have learned that the number of workers being let go from RIM's Halifax facility may in fact be slightly lower than the 95 employees Nova Scotia's economic development minister Percy Paris said were being laid off. Canadian Press's claim that nearly a quarter of RIM's Halifax-based staff would be let go is also inaccurate — the vendor's Halifax staff totaled approximately 550 employees before this round of reductions hit, not 400 as stated in the initial report.

"Paranormal Pooch: A True Story of the Dog Who Healed One Family" by Olga Horvat
Buy it now for $14.99
"Thanks Olga. I learned so much about dogs from your book. Although, at first, I thought that this book is going to scare me. But, at the end I found it to be very informative and a pleasure to read. The fact is - it improved the relationship with my dog!" John Greenfield, NY
"AMAZING!!! I've never read anything like this before. Thank you for putting all your hard earned knowledge together for the rest of us. I was not familiar with negative energies and how to deal with them. I've learned so much from this book and now I know how to help my dog if he needs it." Susan Gray, NJ
"What a story! This book is really different from any other paranormal book I read before. It's terrific! Thanks for indulging me!" Tom Hopkins, CT
"This book is awesome! I read it in the time span of three days. I got hooked and couldn't put it down. Very inspirational and mind provoking ....." Marissa Ford, LA
Paranormal Pooch is an eye-opening story about one family's four-month sojourn into the dark and unknown side of the canine world. The kind of experiences they went through have never been fully documented in nonfiction.
The pure-bred toy poodle, Princess, seemed to be an adorable puppy and potential Best-of-Show winner when she arrived at the family's Manhattan apartment from a top breeder in Nebraska. Little did anyone realize the dog was a possessed creature. Within days, things began to go horribly wrong and the family was shaken to its very core.
There were a series of bizarre manifestations and 'accidents'. The husband was abruptly fired from his job; the family was nearly evicted from their apartment; their daughter was threatened with expulsion from the third grade. Eventually, the husband was stricken with an unexplainable illness and almost lost his life. They were plagued by supernatural forces and came to realize it was not just terribly bad luck ‑‑ there was something very strange about their new puppy.
It was like something out of the Twilight Zone or a Stephen King thriller, only this was real. The ending of the story is truly shocking, but inspirational in an unexpected way.

Composition Studies As A Creative Art
Utah State University Press, Jun 1, 1998 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 282 pages
Bloom gathers twenty of her most recent essays (some previously unpublished) on critical issues in teaching writing. She addresses matters of philosophy and pedagogy, class and marginality and gender, and textual terror transformed to textual power. Yet the body of her work and this representative collection of it remains centered, coherent, and personal. This work focuses on the creative dynamics that arise from the interrelation of writing, teaching writing, and ways of reading—and the scholarship and administrative issues engendered by it. To regard composition studies as a creative art is to engage in a process of intellectual or aesthetic free play, and then to translate the results of this play into serious work that yet retains the freedom and playfulness of its origins. The book is fueled by a mixture of faith in the fields that compose composition studies, hope that efforts of composition teachers can make a difference, and a sense of community in its broadest meaning. Included are Bloom's well-known essays "Teaching College English as a Woman," "Freshman Composition as a Middle Class Enterprise," and many more recent works, equally provocative and insightful.

When you telephone, you will be asked to provide your name and National Insurance number. You will also be asked to answer three security questions to confirm your identity.
If You have a complaint and it's for AFCS, War Pensions or VWS, then please speak to the Veterans UK Helpline and a member of the team will be able to help you. If it's for AFPS you will have to contact JPAC on 0800 085 3600. If you are not satisfied after speaking to a member of the team, you may ask to speak to a manager.
2. Complaints procedure
Stage 1
If you are still dissatisfied after speaking to the Helpline or a Manager, you may wish to speak to a member of the Veterans UK Customer Services Team, who can investigate matters on your behalf. To speak to a Customer Services Manager you should ring our Veterans Helpline on the number above. Alternatively, you can put your complaint in writing, addressed to:
The Manager
Veterans UK Customer Services Team
Room 6303
Or Via Email email@example.com
Stage 2
If, following investigation and response by a Customer Service Manager, you feel your complaint has not been fully answered or resolved, you can put your complaint in writing to:

In all cases, we will acknowledge correspondence from you within 5 working days of receipt. We will respond either in full or with an informative update within 20 working days of receipt.
3. Independent Complaints Panel (ICP)
If, having followed all stages of our complaints procedure you do not feel your complaint has been handled correctly, you can ask the ICP to look at your case. The panel can only look at whether a complaint has been thoroughly and properly investigated, that a fair investigation took place, and a full and accurate replies were provided.
They cannot consider the substance of a complaint were formal procedures are already in place to review and investigate the issue, e.g. by making an appeal.

Automotive beauty can be a two-edged sword, simultaneously enticing with seductive curves while disappointing through any number of ergonomic missteps. And while the original Rapide stunned with its fluid silhouette and snarly V12, the sedan had a tough time stealing buyers from Porsche's eminently practical (and more affordable) Panamera ubersedan.
How to stoke the fire of what is arguably one of the most gorgeous four-doors money can buy? Three years into its product life, the Rapide has gained a series of upgrades intended to make it more relevant. First and foremost is a power bump from the 6.0-liter AM11 V12, which gains 80hp for a grand total of 550hp. Torque also climbs to 457 lb-ft, with a fatter bottom-end for livelier takeoff; Aston claims 60mph can now be reached in 4.7sec (0.4sec shaved from its predecessor), while fuel efficiency and CO2 emissions have also improved.
The engine has been dropped to meet pedestrian impact requirements (with the hood acting as a trampoline), offering the added benefit of greater agility with a lower center of gravity.
Bilstein's adaptive damping adds a new "Track" mode to augment "Normal" and "Sport"; the stiffness levels take into account throttle and brake position, steering angle and speed.
Visually reflecting these upgrades is a bigger, more aggressive grille and a more pronounced lip on the rear.
Swing open the signature "swan wing" doors and climb inside. The low-slung cabin offers predictable luxury: available in new duotone red and black leather with subtle perforations in offset colors, while the alcantara headliner serves up a plush counterbalance to the metals and optional carbon fiber throughout.
The waterfall instrument panel still features an outdated multimedia system with a pop-up nav screen - the Rapide hasn't inherited the updated set up from the Vanquish - but the exquisite swathes of fragrant leather make it hard to fault.
A push start of the V12 stirs a raspy exhaust note, and tapping the leather-wrapped paddle shifter enables smooth forward motion. The electronically adjustable suspension's three modes deliver a dramatic effect on ride quality and stiffness, though we didn't find the more aggressive settings entirely necessary during high-speed tangos on the twisty roads north of Barcelona.
The added torque at low revs lend the Rapide S perceptibly quicker acceleration, while the "Sport" button further enlivens the exhaust note and delivers sportier shift points, awakening the drivetrain with more dramatic power delivery. In fact, the engine will readily bounce off the rev limiter and leave cog swapping entirely up to the driver. This can require careful timing since the counterclockwise tachometer offers no visible redline. Yet the tall-geared six-speed automatic delivers quick gearshifts and immediate response from the paddle shifters.
Several hours of fast paced driving make it easy to forget two snug seats are positioned aft, and that's just as well: at its soul, the Rapide S is more of a 2+2 than the bubble-tailed Panamera. The choice of a bulky, cabin-cramping rear transaxle speaks volumes about Aston's priorities: the resulting weight balance is welcome when tossing this two-ton machine through winding roads. There's something incredibly special about how easily the $200k Aston maneuvers.
We can credit Aston Martin CEO Dr Ulrich Bez for curating such engineering choices: the German relaxes by endurance racing at the Nurburgring and was previously responsible for developing watershed sports cars like the iconic 993 Porsche 911.
It may have a sumptuous cabin and seductive body surfacing, but Aston's Rapide S feels notably gutsier than before, delivering a more satisfying rush for sybarites who absolutely must marry the sports car experience to a sedan. Although not without faults - especially when it comes to the vestigial rear seats - the Rapide S proves nothing compares to purposeful beauty.

Continuing the confusing trend of Android dominating in market share but iOS continuing to lead -- by huge margin -- in mobile web usage share, both Apple's iPhone and the iPad reportedly eclipsed Google's Android in Thanksgiving and Black Friday online shopping use over the last few days. This according to IBM Digital Analytics Benchmarks:
Mobile Shopping: Mobile purchases soared with 24 percent of consumers using a mobile device to visit a retailer's site, up from 14.3 percent in 2011. Mobile sales exceeded 16 percent, up from 9.8 percent in 2011.
The iPad Factor: The iPad generated more traffic than any other tablet or smartphone, reaching nearly 10 percent of online shopping. This was followed by iPhone at 8.7 percent and Android 5.5 percent. The iPad dominated tablet traffic at 88.3 percent followed by the Barnes and Noble Nook at 3.1 percent, Amazon Kindle at 2.4 percent and the Samsung Galaxy at 1.8 percent.
We've seen this again and again, iOS web usage reports that dwarf the competition. Tablets, of course, are understandable. Apple is the market leader. The iPhone, however, while often the best selling phone in many markets, doesn't outsell all other phones -- or all Android phones -- combined in the market.
So what explains the discrepancy? Do people upgrading from feature phones to a cheap or big screen Android simply keep using it as a feature phone and not bother with things like web browsers? Is the web browsing experience on Android somehow less discoverable or enjoyable? Do expert users simply not care to use the web?
None of those explanations make sense. Chrome on Android is easy to find and easy to use. So why aren't Android users using it?
Maybe that's the wrong question. Maybe the right question is why are iPhone and iPad users using the web so much? What is it about Apple's products that make using the web so much more discoverable and enjoyable?

Wal-Mart is expanding its reach into the organic food business, and Rodger Bilbrey is neither concerned nor surprised.
AUBURNDALE | Wal-Mart is expanding its reach into the organic food business, and Rodger Bilbrey is neither concerned nor surprised.
Consumer interest in organics has shown no sign of slowing, and Bilbrey has all the business he can handle at his organically grown produce farm in Auburndale, where 35 members pay an annual fee for fresh lettuce, eggplant, kale and other items.
"Our membership is full. We actually have a waiting list of about 20 people right now who would love to get in for next year," said Bilbrey, co-owner of Bilbrey Family Farm. "It definitely has grown."
Earlier this month Wal-Mart announced a new venture with the Wild Oats company that will broaden Wal-Mart's selection of organic foods. The retail giant says its products will be competitively priced with other organic brands, "removing the price premium associated with organic groceries." At the same time, Target is rolling out a new line of natural and organic products as part of its "Made to Matter" collection.
The reaction from organic growers in Polk?
"I think it's probably a good thing," said Gil Daigneau, who runs Go Natural Organics, a farming cooperative on Dewitt Drive in Lakeland. "It's obviously an indicator of demand, because Wal-Mart doesn't do anything unless they thoroughly analyze it. In my opinion, there can't be too much good food produced, regardless of who does it."
Loosely defined, organic food is that which is produced without the use of most conventional pesticides, as well as chemical additives or fertilizers.
Nationally, organic food sales increased from about $11 billion in 2004 to an estimated $28 billion in 2012, according to a report by the Department of Agriculture's Economic Research Service. Organics accounted for more than 4 percent of total at-home food sales in 2012, and that figure is expected to grow considerably in the years ahead.
A 2013 survey by the Organic Trade Association found that 81 percent of U.S. families buy organic products "at least sometimes."
"There's a growing awareness of how serious it is — how chemicals can affect people in their diet," said Peggy Campbell, co-owner of Barefoot Creek, a Lakeland-area business that produces organic vegetables and herbs and teaches organic gardening classes.
"We have just seen an explosion in interest since we started growing and selling," Campbell said. "We joke that we might put ourselves out of business by encouraging people to grow their own ... (but) we think there's room for everybody right now."
The organic food business did not always seem like a sure thing, Daigneau said.
"I've been doing this for about 19 years, and when I first started people didn't give a flip about it," he said. "You couldn't get people to cross the street (to buy organics) ... but now I have people coming from all over the place."
Daigneau's Go Natural Organics is a 15-acre farm that supports a clientele of about 150 people, who pick their own produce. Members pay $100 fee that serves as a credit balance and can be replenished as desired. The offerings include tomatoes, carrots, onions and green beans.
The Organic Trade Association notes the price of organic foods is still an issue for consumers, and Bilbrey said the costs of production can be difficult for growers.
A membership at Bilbrey Family Farm typically costs about $560, which covers a weekly allotment of produce during a 33-week period each year — averaging to $17 for each batch.
Bilbrey and Campbell also sell vegetables at Lakeland's Downtown Farmers Curb Market.
Even as large chain retailers play a greater role in the organics business, Bilbrey said farming operations like his will always have certain advantages.
"We don't want to be one of those big conglomerates. We want to stay a small farm with a certain group of people who want what we provide," he said. "Our members know they're welcome to walk the fields anytime they want to ... they get their share of vegetables, and they know where they came from."

Conditioning and Tryout Camp July 25-29
Submitted by Anonymous on July 18, 2006 - 01:27
Jones, Keller, Kvapil, and Lascek among 21 prospects scheduled to be in attendance. Mihalik, Rogers, and Smaby slated to protect Ramo from 20 non-roster invitees. Should be the largest assemblage of draftees/signees since the opening camp in Lakeland Civic Center. Effectively dispells last week's scaled back report. July 25 - July 29 8:15-9:45 a.m. conditioning drills 9:45-11:15 a.m. more drills 3:15-4:30 p.m. scrimmage Official Press Release details/profiles: LIGHTNING TO HOST CONDITIONING AND TRYOUT CAMP CAMP OPEN TO THE PUBLIC FEATURES 41 PROSPECTS The Tampa Bay Lightning will host 41 prospects at the St. Pete Times Forum Tuesday, July 25 through Saturday, July 29 for the 2006 Conditioning and Tryout Camp. The event is open and free to the public. Highlights of the players invited to the camp include Finnish goaltender Karri Ramo, defensemen Vladimir Mihalik, Andy Rogers and Matt Smaby, and forwards Marek Kvapil, Justin Keller, Blair Jones and Stanislav Lascek. Ramo, a 6-foot-2, 192-pound native of Asikkala, Finland aided HPK Hameenlinna to the Finnish Elite League Championship in 2005-06 in his first year with the club. The 20-year old appeared in 24 games during the regular season and posted a 2.16 goals-against average with a .929 save percentage. He ranked first on the team in save percentage and was second in goals-against average. He was signed by the Lightning on May 31 and will play in their system this season (potentially in Johnstown). ???????? Mihalik, 19, was 6'7" 216# when selected by Tampa Bay in the first round, 30th overall, at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft and made his North American Debut in 2005-06. He scored three goals and added nine assists in 62 games with the Red Deer Rebels. He also attended Lightning Training Camp in 2005. (as a bundle of fetal stem cells) Rogers, 19, was 6'5" 201# when selected in the first round, 30th overall, at the 2004 Draft. He appeared in 21 games with the Prince George Cougars in 2005-06 and recorded three assists. His season was shortened due to injury. He was signed by the Lightning on October 3, 2005 following Training Camp. (& nearly bought the 10-game pack) Smaby, 21, was 6'5 202# when selected in the second round, 41st overall, at the 2003 Draft. He captained the University of North Dakota Fighting Sioux that reached the NCAA Frozen Four for the second consecutive season in 2005-06. Smaby skated in 45 games with the Sioux this past season, scoring four goals and dishing out 15 assists. He was tied for third on the team in plus/minus rating with a plus-20 rating. Smaby was also one of three Sioux to be named to the All-WCHA Third Team. (Scored twice in the 2005 NCAA Championship Game, albeit for Denver) Kvapil, 21, was tied for fourth on the Springfield Falcons in goals and was fifth in points with 45 in his first professional season. He was the third leading scorer among OHL rookies, and was named OHL Rookie of the Month twice in 2004-05. Kvapil was chosen by the Lightning in the sixth round, 163rd overall, at the 2005 Draft. (little blonde RW) Keller, 20, was signed by the Lightning on May 23, 2006. He led the Western Hockey League with 51 goals in 72 games for Kelowna, which finished with a 46-22-1-3 record in 2005-06. In 12 WHL playoff games, Keller recorded nine points. The 5-foot-11, 185-pound native of Summerland, British Columbia is best remembered for scoring the goal that won the 2004 Memorial Cup for the Rockets. Keller was selected by the Lightning in the eighth round, 245th overall, at the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. (& exudes confidence) Jones, 19, played in 72 games for the Moose Jaw Warriors in 2005-06. He finished the season third on the team in points with 85 and goals with 35. His 14 power play goals led the team and he ranked second in assists with 50 as he helped his team to the Western Hockey League's East Division title. Jones, a 6'2" 193# pivot, also ranked sixth in the league in points, one place behind Keller, and tied for fifth in assists. He also appeared in 22 playoff games with Moose Jaw and led the team with 21 points. (No doubt the biggest thing coming out of Central Butte) Lascek, 20, recorded 47 goals and 135 points in 64 games for Chicoutimi of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey league in 2005-06, finishing as the second leading scorer in the league and third overall in the Canadian Hockey League (including the Ontario Hockey League and Western Hockey League). He was selected by the Lightning in the fifth round, 133rd overall, at the 2005 NHL Entry Draft. The 2006 QMJHL Second Team All-Star lit up score sheets all season long, winning Offensive Player of the Week honors in September, Offensive Player of the Month honors in November and recording a seven-point game (two goals, five assists). (lefty RW with hands) This is the first time in franchise history the Lightning will host a Conditioning and Tryout Camp during the summer.

Juice of ½ a lemon
Sugar to taste
Over medium heat, bring the water, ginger candies and lemon juice to a boil. Stir until the candies dissolve. Pour into mugs and add sugar to taste. Serve.
*Like these original ginger chews by the Ginger People, which I have found at Target, Whole Foods and online. Asian markets often sell very similar chewy ginger candies as well.

Northeast Classic adds 2 new teams
BRIDGEPORT -- Two new teams will join host St. Joseph and Trinity Catholic in the Northeast Christmas Classic -- one of the top high school basketball holiday tournaments in New England -- at the Webster Bank Arena on Dec. 27-28.
LaSalle Academy of New York City and Monsignor Farrell High School of Staten Island, N.Y., fill the field for the tournament, which was moved to the arena last year after 25 years at St. Joseph.
St. Joseph is the reigning Class LL state champion and finished the 2011-12 season with a 25-1 record. The Cadets are ranked No.4 in the Max Preps 2012-13 preseason state poll. Trinity Catholic finished last season 14-4 and is anticipated to be a Top 10 ranked team this season.
LaSalle Academy is an annual powerhouse in the New York City Catholic High School Athletic Association. The Cardinals, led by voach William Aberer, are eight-time city champions, most recently in 2004. Msgr. Farrell, coached by Mike Dunn, is led by leading scorer Conner Nicholson, who averaged 14.6 points per game last season.
The tournament marks the Northeast Christmas Classic debut of St. Joseph coach Chris Watts, who took over this year for the legendary Vito Montelli.
Montelli capped a 50-year career as the Cadets coach with last season's state championship.

- I will not promote any individual blog posts on any of my social media networks except for generic postings regarding the contest itself. The only exception will be for those people that are subscribed to my RSS/Email updates automatically.
- It will be up to the individual to promote their own recipe on their specified day however they wish, but they must direct them to the Carrie's Experimental Kitchen specific link for that recipe (which I will give each entrant separately).
- Feel free to use any Social Media you feel comfortable with (Facebook, Twitter, Blog, etc. to get people to view your recipe)
- The 5 recipes with the MOST page views (which means how many times someone clicked on that recipe) will advance to the next round.
- Once the Top 5 Recipes have been decided (based on the most page views), I will create a poll on the blog itself where readers can vote on their favorite recipe.
- The recipe with the most votes will win

Tuna, Arugula and Apple Sandwiches
Tuna and apple might seem like an odd combination but it works wonderfully in sandwiches. The tuna is creamy, the apples are tangy and sweet and the arugula adds that peppery and lemony taste that makes all the flavors meld beautifully.
As the weather is slowly moving towards summery temperatures, I like to plan out great picnic food. There's just something about packing up delicious goods and enjoying them with friends or family outdoors. These sandwiches work perfectly for those kind of days. I like to make them mini sandwiches - they are less messy and allow you to make different sandwich combos to try. If it's really warm and you can't keep the sandwiches cool, I would suggest skipping the mayo and using a little more mustard instead. Serve it with a fresh salad (I like roasted red and yellow peppers with goat cheese crumbles) and a glass of homemade ice tea and you're set!
Tuna, Arugula and Apple Sandwiches (makes 4 mini sandwiches)
2 small cans of tuna packed in olive oil
3 tablespoons of mayonnaise
1 tablespoon of grainy mustard
1 handful of arugula
1 granny smith apple, thinly sliced
4 mini ciabatta rolls
Olive oil
Salt and freshly ground pepper
Slice the ciabatta rolls lengthwise. Lightly drizzle with olive oil and toast for 3-4 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and crusty. Take off the heat and reserve. In a small bowl whisk the mayonnaise and grainy mustard and reserve.
In a bowl, add the tuna (drained from most of the oil). Using a fork, press down on the tuna to separate the chunks. Fold in 3/4 of the mayonnaise mixture and add a good pinch of salt and pepper. Divide the tuna mixture and add it to each ciabatta half. Layer with a few slices of apple and top with arugula. Spread the mayonnaise on the other side of each piece of ciabatta. Close the sandwiches and enjoy!

mmmm, that looks wonderful. I would imagine that those three would work very well together on both flavour as well as texture levels, brilliantly done! (P.s... the photo is pretty stellar too).

Tuna and apples sounds like a brilliant combo, the arugula lending its peppery bitemust round everything out nicely :)

The combo of tuna and apple sounds excellent! I've made a chicken salad sandwich with apples so the tuna will definitely work great too!

I've put diced apple in my tuna salad before, but I love the idea of thinly slicing it to rest on top--very aesthetic and probably makes it better to taste the different flavors/textures.
Absolutely beautiful photo by the way!

Your photos are absolutely gorgeous. Even if you weren't crazy about the dish you've got to love your photo.

My friend Debbie's Green Jackfruit Salad and rice paper crackers (an improvised alternative to Vietnamese sesame rice crackers!)
We invited our good friend Bev over for supper the other night. She's a busy person, so we don't get to socialize with her very often! I'm trying to eat lightly these days and I had some mung beans sprouts that I needed to use, so I thought I'd make a fragrant "Neatball" Pho (read about Pho here; there's a recipe you can adapt for using vegan "meatballs"-- you could use commercial ones.). I had lots of my homemade "Neatballs" (more about them below) in the freezer, so it seemed a good choice.
Of course, I forgot that we would need some fresh herbs, in short supply at the moment, and I couldn't go off the island that day! But, we managed, even if in a non-traditional way! I used my recipe for vegetarian Pho that I posted on my blog here, except that I substituted my "Neatballs" for the seitan "steak". Since I had no fresh herbs I sprinkled the noodles with dried mint, parsley and basil combines, and add strips of bell pepper for color, along with the thinly-sliced onion and green onions.
About those "Neatballs": I can't give you the recipe here because they will be in another book I'm planning, but this invention is one I'm very proud of. They can be made ahead and frozen (I made a batch of 150 last week!). They seem a bit like hard cookies when you're finished but, when they are cooked for 20 minutes or so in a broth or sauce, they plump up beautifully and have a great texture! You can add different seasonings to ther "Neatball" mixture, or you can simmer the basic ones in a seasoned broth appropriate to the dish you are making. They are very versatile for quick meals because almost all cultures have yummy meatball recipes which can be veganized!
Production of "Neatballs":
I simmered the "Neatballs" for the Pho in a broth of 4 cups vegetarian broth with 2 tsp. Chinese 5-Spice Powder.
The result, ready to add to the Pho:
I'll get to the jackfruit salad below, but I just wanted to mention what we had for dessert. In keeping with the light theme, I layered fresh mango slices with pineapple tidbits and topped it with a nonbdairy creamer and toasted coconut flakes:
Now, the green jackfruit salad. I had this in a Vietnamese restaurant in Anaheim years ago, and I have never forgotten it! So delicious!
The salad supposed to be served with Vietnamese sesame rice crackers (Banh trang me) as "scoopers':
Before cooking (Debbie says you can get black sesame or white sesame)
after cooking-- crunchy and light!
How they roast them in Vietnam:
Debbie writes: "I was taught to microwave it for 1-2 minutes. So it is not fried and oily. It was good microwaved."
Of course, I didn't have any sesame rice crackers (I thought I had some papadam, which Debbie often uses instead, but, alas, they had been used up!). I wracked my brain for an appropriate substitute and finally decided to try microwaving plain old rice papers (used for Vietnamese summer rolls). It worked!
I broke each one up into smaller pieces
and microwaved them for 1 minute.
The result was very nice and made good "scoopers" for the salad!
Finally, here is my friend Debbie's recipe for the jackfruit salad. Of course, I was missing the fresh herbs for this as well (what was I thinking that day?), and had to use dried, so it wasn't as good as it should have been, but the 3 of us ate the whole thing anyway! Note: I can purchase cans of green jackfruit in brine in my supermarket's Asian section, or any Asian grocery. You could also order it from an online Asian store, or amazon. The texture of this unripe fruit is almost like tuna when prepared this way! (Here's some info about jackfruit.)
Here's what the can looks like (may be a different brand):
Despite the many substitutions, it was a delicious meal!
Printable Recipe
- Preheat wok. When the wok is hot, add oil, garlic, and onion. Stir fry until fragrant. Add young jackfruit strips, salt, sugar, black pepper, and vegetarian fish sauce or soy sauce. Mix and stir-fry in high heat for 10 minutes until spices are absorbed to the jackfruit. Add a little water to the wok to prevent sticking.
- Add lime juice and Thai/Vietnamese basil. Mix well for 1 minute.
- Finally, add the miso mixture. Mix well for 1 minute.
- Turn off heat. Set aside jackfruit in a bowl and let it cool.
- Serve the salad room temperature on a plate with chopped roasted peanut and chopped cilantro/basil sprinkled on top.
- Dot it with Sri Racha hot sauce on top and all over the salad. Each person can use the sesame crackers/pappadum to scoop the salad, dot with fresh squeezed lime juice and more vegetarian fish sauce.
Mix together and store in a jar in the refrigerator:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup water
1 Tbs. lime juice
1 Tbs. rice vinegar
1 clove garlic, crushed
1 Tbs. sugar
1/2 tsp. chile flakes

I want these neat balls! Will this future book be the Field Roast book or still another book?
I need things that can be prepared early and frozen. I normally cook for two of us, and that means a lot of stir frying. But later this year I am expecting a visit is from our older son and his family, which brings it up to 7 people. My daugher-in-law (
whose parents live in Victoria) is sarcastic and skeptical about vegan cooking. It is hard to jump from 2 people to 7, and I want to defuse her criticism. Any suggestions?

Ahhh!!! You must be reading my mind. I've been craving Vietnamese lately (I even recently did a post on some Banh Mi that I made). I am definitely going to make those neatballs of yours and the pho broth.

The NFL's regional programming rules are famously byzantine, but luckily the506.com cuts through the bullshit for you, providing weekly maps that allow us to answer the only question that really matters: Which fans are the most screwed this Sunday?
Week 8 winner: Portland and Salem, Ore.
I really don't get this one. Indianapolis vs. Tennessee could be a fun matchup of two young QBs who cut their teeth on the West Coast: Andrew Luck (Stanford) vs. Jake Locker (Washington). Except ...
- It's clearly not fun enough to give either the Bay Area or Washington this game.
- Jake Locker is still injured.
- People in Oregon hate him.
CBS has the AFC package and the AFC sucks this year, so none of these games is a standout. The Dolphins could make the Great Leap Forward, though, plus the Rams get screwed out of a home game, which is always nice, I suppose.
As several commenters pointed out last week, the networks seem to assume that Oregon roots for the Seahawks, and this is incorrect. Seattle's been as much of a surprise as Detroit has been a disappointment, but it would probably be more interesting to watch the Falcons try to stay undefeated against the NFL's ultimate wildcard. Oh, and Andy Reid has won 13 consecutive games after a bye week.
Everyone gets Giants vs. Cowboys (except Kansas City, which is playing at home in the CBS late game). Boooooooring.

Synopsis by Jason Buchanan
A group of friends living in suburban Oregon come into contact with a sensual free spirit named Chloe (Alexa Davalos), who changes their outlook on life in the most unexpected of ways in this ensemble drama adapted from the acclaimed novel by author Charles Baxter. As college professor and writer Harry Stevenson (Morgan Freeman) sits quietly in the coffee shop of his tight-knit Oregon community, the local residents all around him all become swept up in the magical mischief of love. Coffee shop owner Bradley (Greg Kinnear) has a bad habit of looking for love in all the wrong places, and his relationship with wife Kathryn (Selma Blair) is a prime example of that penchant. Meanwhile, frazzled real estate agent Diana (Radha Mitchell) becomes ensnared in a taboo affair with a married man (Billy Burke), lovely newcomer Chloe attempts the formidable task of romancing troubled soul Oscar (Toby Hemingway), and Harry's own wife, Esther (Jane Alexander), affectionately tries to get through to her husband as he wrestles with the pain of losing a loved one. Fred Ward, Alexa Davalos, Stana Katic, Toby Hemingway, and Erika Maroszán star in a whimsical tale of intersecting lives inspired by Shakespeare's Midsummer Night's Dream, and directed by Robert Benton (Nobody's Fool, The Human Stain).

There are countless reasons to adore this railway-station-turned-food-emporium. Four floors of Italian delights have been drawing in tourists and locals alike ever since it opened a week ago. And I am told they have been streaming in the front door in droves every single evening.
The only way to get a few decent snaps of the offerings was to go during the Italy-Germany Euro Championship semi-final. It was empty. Loved it. It was essentially a private tour of food, books and maps. We strolled, marveled, and dreamed of the baskets-full of goodies that will be our future bounty. Now is just an evening reconnaissance.
Eataly is of course cornering the whole local aspect. With so many products made in-house - buffalo mozzarella, gelato, and it appears even some beers. Wine is sold by the liter straight from the barriques mounted on the wall. Nearly every food station displays maps of Italy with regional designations of the specific product type colourfuly delinieated.
One display is particularly useful, a calender wheel of seasonal veggies specific to the surrounding Lazio region. Speaking of veg, by the produce they have a cute box plot of salads and herbs by the window. This lead one Italian friend to comment, "these designers have been around. This is so not Italian." I am sure she is right. Considering the success of New York's Eataly, it is clear much has been learned and seems to be successfully applied. Hopefully it sticks around.
There have been articles floating about for months now discussing the revitalization it hopes to bring to the
Ostiense area. The unused rail terminal has been compared to many nasty things, and it all comes down to it being an eyesore lurking over the horizon. A lot of PR has been put out by Eataly on how their previous locations have elevated struggling urban neighborhoods by setting up shop in brownfield sites. And a big injection of cash does make for a striking launch.
The first two floors house a range of food items, kitchen tools, books, and small snack areas. The third floor has some proper restaurants, and the fourth was a bit empty, as it contains rooms for cooking classes. Notices for culinary courses were in Italian, but I would imagine English language ones could be on offer in the future.
The open-plan style works quite well for the space, allowing visiters to wander freely about. It seems also a bit unique to have the kitchen/prep areas so open. Everything normally kept in the back of house is instead only seperated by panes of glass. Transparency of production ties in nicely with the local element being touted.
Eataly, we will be good friends.

Chrysolina americana
|Chrysolina americana
|Chrysolina americana on Lavender (Lavandula sp.)
|Scientific classification
Chrysolina americana
|Binomial name
|Chrysolina americana
Chrysolina americana, common name rosemary beetle, is a species of beetles belonging to the family Chrysomelidae.
Chrysolina americana can reach a length of 5–8 millimetres (0.20–0.31 in). They have colourful elytra with metallic green and purple longitudinal stripes. The wings are quite short, so these beetles can not fly.
This species feeds on various aromatic Lamiaceae, mainly on rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) (hence the common name), lavender (Lavandula) and thyme (Thymus).
In the Mediterranean region females lay their eggs in late summer on the leaves of the host plants. The larvae show whitish to blackish bands. Larval development continues during the winter months. The pupal stage lasts about three weeks. The imago is released in the spring.
Despite the species name americana, this leaf beetle is native and common to southern Europe, North Africa, the Near East and the Middle East.[1]
Introduction to the United Kingdom[edit]
This species was first discovered living outdoors in the United Kingdom in 1994. By 2002 it had become widespread in the London area, and spreading rapidly throughout. Although it is susceptible to some pesticides, it is usually recommended that home growers pick off beetles by hand, or shake them off onto a sheet of paper to remove them, if the plant affected by them is intended for culinary purposes.

Hi! Our 4 year old peahen has sat on five eggs and two days ago two chicks appeared! she seems to have now abandoned the other three eggs - what should we do? I'm not experienced with candling and I've tried it looks like there is about 1/3 air sac and a dark mass, do you think they're likely to be fertile and still alive? Any advice greatly appreciated!
It is a good idea to have an incubator or a good setting chicken handy BEFORE this happens
If those eggs have been cold for two days any peachick that was alive has died.
On a cold night in October 2008 I had a chicken setting on her own eggs who must have been feeling ill so she abandoned those eggs and later passed away of natural causes. I hastily collected those eggs and put them in warm (NOT hot) water while I turned on my incubator since I was left in the lurch Half of those eggs did live to hatch. Two of those are still alive.

When writing my second cookbook, Banh Mi, which by the way is already available for preview and pre-order, I tried to share authentic and traditional recipes for Vietnamese sandwiches, condiments and sides. If you've ever tasted a bánh mì, you probably are familiar with the standard condiment of pickled carrots and daikon. It takes the place of cornichon-based pickles (tiny French gherkin pickles) found in Western sandwiches.
You can of course vary the ingredients to your liking, and in this recipe I prepared a modified version of the bánh mì condiment with shredded Chinese cabbage, pickled lotus and freshly-picked satsuma mandarins that baby Aria helped me gather from our garden --follow me on Twitter and Facebook to see more pictures-- (sadly it was our very last batch). With a few peanuts and a nice dressing, it makes a great salad. Though it isn't strictly speaking a traditional pickle, you could also use it in your own bánh mì sandwich. The flavors are mellow enough to let the meat or tofu of your choice shine.
If you love the official drink of the Kentucky Derby, you will adore these mint-flavored scones. I used my favorite Mint Julep Sugar from our friends over at Bourbon Barrel Foods for this sweet treat. The raw sugar creates a crunchy, sweet topping with a rich caramel flavor and a refreshing hint of mint.
Pair these with the Southern cocktail and I promise you won't be disappointed!
The authentic recipe for lotus soup, called canh củ sen in Vietnamese, calls for pork broth, dried scallops, dried octopus and various dried fruits and nuts. With my family being mostly vegetarian, I adapted it to fit everyone's diet.
I tried to mimic the meaty broth with Okinawan potatoes (purple-fleshed Japanese sweet potatoes) and preserved daikon radish and flavored it with the usual dried black dates called jujube (or plum), dried South almonds, peanuts and gojee berries. Lastly, fresh lotus root is sliced thinly and added to the broth until softened. Some people like it on the crunchy side, but I prefer it very tender.
If you've been following my culinary adventures for a while, you probably know that Daddy's (my father-in-law) diet revolves around anything spicy. So he rarely eats the French dishes (except for the desserts) or Vietnamese meals I prepare for the rest of our family. So today, I prepared pepper popper appetizers. Who doesn't like fried food? Not even Daddy could say no. I prepared mild ones using mini tri-colored peppers and jalapeno peppers, and a couple of really spicy ones just for him.
Mini peppers are hollowed out, stuffed with a cheese mixture, breaded and deep-fried. You can't go wrong!
I haven't cooked any tofu dishes for my husband Lulu in a while and I thought it would be good to vary his diet. So I prepared tofu with fresh wood ear mushrooms, sweet potatoes, carrots and red bell peppers that I stir-fried in coconut, galangal and turmeric curry sauce.
I topped the tofu dish with a few roasted peanuts to create a contrast in texture and make the dish more fun.
