Medina Cafe - Brought to you by the same people that run Chambar (it's right next door). Open for breakfast/lunch only. Expect at least an hour wait on the weekend unless you get there 10 mins before they open (as we did) to be part of the first seating. Food was really good, great service, but I wouldn't wait an hour to eat there.
C - Have been meaning to eat here for some time now. Tried the 9-course tasting menu...definately worth it and it was a great way to try a bunch of dishes in one visit. A meal to remember.
KeyserSoze wrote:My guess is that the tasting menu at C likely changes by season based on availability.
It was not part of their actual menu, just an inserted page...
Mushroom veloute, charred octopus salad, seared scallop, salmon risotto, seared albacore tuna, chevre, cucumber sorbet, chocolate brownie, chocolate truffles.
As for Mortons, I think it did close down.
I never went, but I don't go to steakhouses all that often *caugh boring, caugh overpriced*
Topper wrote:I detest steak houses.
When I go for a nice dinner, I want something I can not easily cook at home.
Was in the NW BC recently and had a hotel restaurant meal that was deplorable.
I ordered blackened pork tenderloin with spatzle, I received raw pork tenderloin and roasted potato wedges. Sent it back and got the same plate with the medallions of pork now seared on the flat top and the same wedges of potato. Mrs Topper ordered salmon, but not the dry overcooked slab that was on her plate.
This place had the audacity to be charging $30/plate. They wanted $35-$40 for a steak and $3/side dish.

Have to agree....
Since Topper taught me how to properly cook a steak I have been incredibly disappointed with anything from a restaurant.
Gothom was bad (and stupid expensive), Hy's was meh (way better and cheaper then Gothom though), the Kegs has always been crap, but I wouldn't wipe my ass with their food now. Even the T-bone from Darios at the Italian centre in east Van (which has always been great) was kind of a bummer.
A month or so back I went camping for the first time in a bazillion years. Picked up a couple bone in ribeyes from costco and cooked them on a grill over a blazing hot, and smoky camp fire.
Perhaps the best steak I have eaten and I think most of my friends felt the same way.
On a side note, camping fucking sucks my balls. That meal was pretty much the only thing good about my trip.

THE BAD: The TX200V is very expensive and its body collects fingerprints and the door covering its battery and ports seems insubstantial given its waterproofing.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-TX200V Review
There's a problem with feature-rich, life-proof digital cameras: they typically look like feature-rich, life-proof digital cameras, and are about as pocket-friendly as a brick. With the TX200V, Sony shows it's possible to make a camera jam-packed with worthwhile features, safe to use at the beach, in the pool, or on the slopes, and yet to give it a body that would be right at home on the catwalk....

Ergo - BlogGreat ideas, and at many different price points. Well done. Just a heads up on anyone considering a Melissa and Doug 'sounds' puzzle -- they are possessed. They make sounds all the time, for no reason! It's totally freaky to be brushing your teeth for bed, long after kiddo has gone to sleep, only to hear "MOOOOOOO" or "WOOF WOOF" from the depths of the toy box.
ReplyDeleteJoanna, I LOVE all these gifts! PERFECT for our little Georgie (just a little younger than your Toby). We already have the picture book from Pinhole Press (per your earlier recommendation). He LOVES it along w/ anyone that comes to visit our home. Georgie has just under 30 1st cousins so this has been a god send! XO

Among the features of autonomously driven cars available in automobiles today, especially high-end luxury cars, is "active cruise control," which can automatically maintain a safe following distance behind cars. Some of these systems can even work in stop-and-go traffic, automatically applying the brakes and accelerator as needed.
German automaker Audi, part of the Volkswagen Group, is also expected to make its own announcement regarding autonomously driven cars at the show. Audi was just granted the second permit to operate an an autonomous vehicle in the state of Nevada. The first was given to Google in May of last year.
By eliminating human error, which causes the vast majority of car crashes, autonomous driving technology is seen as having the potential to greatly reduce traffic deaths on America's roadways.
Toyota is not necessarily working toward a fully self-driving car, the automaker said in an announcement.
"In our pursuit of developing more advanced automated technologies, we believe the driver must be fully engaged, said Mark Templin, general manger of Toyota's Lexus Division said in announcement.

"I am sorely disappointed in the denial of federal approval," Chaney said during a news conference. An exchange is an online marketplace where people can buy health insurance.
Under the federal health law that President Barack Obama signed in 2010, every state is required to have an exchange so people can get coverage starting in January 2014, much of it federally subsidized. States that don't create their own will have one run by Washington.
Chaney submitted an exchange proposal to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services in mid-November.
Gov. Phil Bryant objects to the federal health care law and sent two letters to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius trying to block Chaney's proposal. Bryant and Chaney are both Republicans.
Chaney said he had tried to work with the White House to win approval, but "I feel betrayed at this point."
Chaney and his staff had worked on the exchange proposal for several months, spending about $4.5 million in federal money on the effort.
The Chaney-Bryant rift over the health exchange is a rare public dispute between members of the Republican Party, which controls most statewide offices.
"Gov. Bryant has consistently stated his opposition to furthering the implementation of Obamacare in Mississippi, and he believes that establishing a health insurance exchange as defined by the Affordable Care Act will do just that," Bryant spokesman Mick Bullock said Jan. 4.
Associated Press writer Emily Wagster Pettus contributed to this report.

During the program, remarks will be given by representatives of Iowa Wesleyan College, as well as the project architect and construction manager.
The Iowa Wesleyan College Chapel was built in 1893. The auditorium is the largest performing venue in Henry County and one of the largest in southeast Iowa.
The Chapel has undergone a $5.6 million renovation, which began in February 2008.
The musical gala is open to the public at no charge.

ROM Biodiversity researchers studying insects, fungi, and mammals have been discovering new species in the heart of Borneo, in Gunung Mulu National Park, throughout the month of May. They have descended the mountain to return to base camp and tune into an audience LIVE via Google Hangout, during a Friday Night Live event at the ROM on May 24, 2013.

Every year, thousands of migrating birds encounter urban environments on their way to breeding or feeding grounds. Birds mistake the reflection in buildings for habitat during the day, and are attracted to light at night - both situations cause an estimated 1 million bird deaths per year in Toronto alone.
This blog post was written by Kara Ma, ROM's Rebanks Intern.
As the newest Rebanks Intern, I am excited to present the latest ROM Library display case, located on the main floor just in front of the Library and Archives. On display is a timeline depicting highlights of the ROM's extensive work and achievements in the field of archaeology
The Shorty Awards honor the best in social media.

Sunrise Calendar: Interesting idea, deal-breaker implementation
Sunrise Calendar launched in the App Store this week to mixed buzz. It looks interesting but it only works with Google Calendar and requires -- requires -- you to login with Facebook before it will let you start using the app. That's an absolute show stopper for me. I don't need or want to login to a calendar app, and if I did, while Facebook would be a welcome option among many, I won't use any third-party app, not ever, where it's the only option. But that's not all...
I also use more than Google Calendar. My work stuff is on there, but my personal calendars are all on iCloud. Unless/until Apple's calendar is supported on Apple's platform, I lose a unified calendar, which is another deal-breaker for me. Same likely holds true for Exchange users.
I'm also confused as to why Sunrise Calendar is free. Yes, I do look gift-horses in the mouth, especially when there's a chance they'll bite me. Free sounds great, but nothing is ever really free. If I'm not paying, someone else is paying. And if I'm not being sold a product, odds are I'm either being sold as a product, or the product I'm being given for free won't long survive, at least not in the form it's being given me. I've had too many "free" services I've grown to like and depend on shut down, or get sold to Google or someone similar and effectively shut down. Not again.
Also, my calendars contains not just my personal information, but that of my friends, family, co-workers, and other associates. That's extremely valuable, and I'm extremely careful about how and with what I access it. "Free" is never enough to buy that access. Only "trust".
So this is where my Sunrise Calendar "review" ends for now. Get rid of the forced Facebook login, expand beyond Google Calendar, explain a business model I can trust with my data and trust will be around for a while, and I'll happily give it a full on trial, and who knows, maybe I'll like it and switch to it?
For now, I can't even use it.
If you don't mind Facebook logins, Google-only calendars, or free-as-in-??? apps, check out the video below, and if you like what you see, check out Sunrise Calendar and let me know how it works for you.

Well, at least they used the right "your"...
I don't have a problem using Facebook or Twitter as a login mechanism, it saves keep creating new accounts all the time, but support for google calendar only is a deal breaker!
Exactly the same as the promising mailbox app, looks nice but spoilt by only supporting google services, what's the point in spending all that time developing a promising app to only support google services, especially on iOS!?!?!?!!?
I too deleted this app. The only way to use it is use Facebook. I don't use Facebook. I deleted the app.
The question is why did the app activate Call Forwarding on my iPhone5 - when I didn't even use the app, only opened it to see Facebook login and deleted.? I haven't used Call Forwarding on one of my cell phones since 2001.
I wonder what this app accessed on my iPhone just by opening? Don't use this folks.
An aside - I wonder if the author sees the irony of this site won't allow one to post a comment unless they login with Facebook. Or Google, twitter.
Honestly I have yet to find a third-party calendar app that can replace iCal. I can get an idea of what my day is like with just a scan through the "day view". Most apps only provides an infinite list of events that I don't find helpful at all.
Bingo. Excellent article. Installed it today and knew within minutes that no matter how great the design was/is, it wouldn't make the cut. Will be interesting to watch and see if it grows or fixes its issues. Until then, just too many deal breakers.
That is a great review! I'm impressed. I have no Facebook account, so now I know enough. Well written.
Seems like a great idea. I am using it simply to keep the user base up. For now I require Exchange if this is something that I will continue to use (Mailbox app may change that). I would pay for the app as well ($.99 to start and $3.99 or so for a premium version). As for how the company will monetize Sunrise - hope for a 7+ figure buyout, ads, or premium services. If anyone uses FB or Google and will not use it for a log-in, well, consider yourself a modern day Luddite (or wearer of tin foil hats). I expect more log-in and email options if Sunrise makes it to v1.5+.
We've pushed an update to Apple to include login with Google. Sorry for this bad first experience, we are committed to fix that in our next (which I hope would be out later this week).
Pierre, co-founder @ Sunrise.
The update with Google Login is now live: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sunrise-calendar./id599114150?mt=8

Comments about BLADERUNNER Girls' Phaser Recreational Ice Skates:
Beware of these skates! They are not sized correctly! Best bet is to go to the store and try them on first. My daughter is not the only one who had this problem. Our friend's daughter had the same experience. A size 1-4 is really for a size 1 foot (you'll be cranking it up to size 3 for a size 1 foot). We're going to try the next size up because my daughter is sold on the turquoise design on the skate. Kids! Note that this is not the case for other Bladerunner skates, just this particular model.

I've been feeling old lately. Not old like I'm on death's door, but old like I'm supposed to be aware of the consequences of my actions instead of flirting with random men at bars and accidentally lighting my hair on fire in a drunken attempt to have a cigarette. (NOT THAT THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED.)
There's the whole 25 thing. There's the whole trying to get on a real career path thing. There's the whole being in a Serious Relationship thing.
And then there's the male best friend from high school getting married in a few weeks thing. I try to rationalize my total and complete abject fear at the prospect of attending his wedding but all I can come up with is seriously? You're old enough to have a wedding I must attend? Is everyone else there going to be all mature? Am I supposed to be all mature?
So, in a bit of a state, I began watching St. Elmo's Fire last night. I thought their relatable twenty-something life crises would soothe me, plus I have a generalized crush on all the boy characters except for Emilio Estevez.
Instead I wound up feeling kind of bad about myself, mostly due to Demi Moore's breakdown wherein she sobs "I just really thought I'd be somebody by the age of twenty-three. You know? I just really thought I'd be somebody." Sitting there in my pajamas it occurred to me that at twenty-five, not only was I not somebody, I was two years behind the self-imposed timeline of an almost literal crack-whore. I couldn't handle the truth so I called Re-Boyfriend and asked him to get a bottle of wine on the way home.

If it helps any, I'm 23 and I still haven't finished undergrad. I'm calling it "gaining life experience" when really I might just be slacking.

What you're going through is called the "Semi-Life Crisis." And just so you know, you're not alone, I went through it (bottle of wine & all) a few months ago. I think this blog is proof that although you may feel stagnant at times you really are learning and growing and by writing about it, you help alot of people (like me) go through it too. So thanks!

weird, that's the cutoff in Reality Bites, too.
"I was really going to be somebody by the time I was 23."
"Honey, all you have to be by the time you're 23, is yourself." - 4:25 PM

welcome to the Quarter life crisis that's hitting so may of us... here i am staring at the age of 25 this year and still struggling with the same issues u r (so ur not behind girlie)... the wine always help to sooth my nerves :-)... but i guess eventually we'll both have to find another option besides the wine... til then though enjoy ur wine!
Being "Somebody" is way over rated. Anyway, no one in the real world is going to take your seriously at 25, so relax and enjoy yourself while it's still Ok to be immature!
I had the same worry the first time I attended a high school friend's wedding. Never fear, it will be all debauchery and drunkeness. Just like high school!
Welcome to your quarter-life crisis (kudos to John Mayer for coining that one). Relax. It's all bullshit. People get married, people get divorced, people are born, people will die--the world will still keep turning, so just enjoy the ride, whatever age you are.
- Plain Jane said...
if it helps any I didn't think I became 'somebody' until I turned 30- am now 37, never married with a little girl...don't worry. It's not so bad
- Alejandra said...
We're all in the same boat. Fortunately you have someone to bring you home a bottle of wine...
- Harleyblue said...
I will be 26 in a week and I have those thoughts daily. Everyone tells me they will pass by the time I'm 30 but honestly, I don't think I'll be getting out of bed then.
- Airam said...
There are people twice your age who think the same thing you're thinking (read: mid-life crisis).
Don't measure yourself against other people. - 6:51 PM
- sleepyrn said...
For goodness sake child (and I am eligible to say "child" because you are only a year older than my oldest child) EVERYONE is someone, everyone matters and everyone earns 60 seconds worth of experience every minute whether you have found your dream job, your dream honey, your dream life or whether you are still working on all the above. Don't give too much credit to the dream anything - they are all over rated and the only real fun is the search anyway.
Enjoy life and get every 60 seconds worth of experience you can. this is the only chance you get. This is NOT a dress rehearsal. - 7:17 PM
- Bittersweet Confusion said...
No matter how old we are, there's always that underlying feeling like we should be more. It's called ambition... I figure you never are 100% satisfied with where you are but you should focus on your accomplishments and not what you interpret as shortcomings... 25 is far from hopeless... I know I'm 25 too and I can't lose hope that there's more to life than this...
- DYLAN said...
the cutoff is always 23? shit. I've always given myself until 27. I really think I'll be someone by 27.
- Mal said...
Congrats CB! I hit my mid-life crisis when I was 24 and it's still going strong some many odd years later.... I use the excuse that I lost out on my childhhod, so I had to relive it in my late teens and twenties, then lost out on those so I'm living those now.
Responsiblity, maturity, and self impossed success timelines are crap. All you need to be is what you are. Besides, I know for a fact, that there are people out there that wish they could be more like you. - 11:40 PM
Damn? I hit a mid life crisis at 22 - does that mean I'm going to die before all of you?
- Yasamin said...
yeah well you think you have it bad? within a 2 week time frame, i've lost my job, my man, my money, my condo.
and yet... i've gained 6 pounds.
i think god hates me.
let us not speak of why we feel old. - 12:43 AM
- Sorkin Fan said...
Wait until you're 28 . LATE 20's! Can't even really call yourself a 20 something anymore when ALL of friends are married and having KIDS and you're staring down 30 like a gunslinger at high noon...if gunslingers were single, hated their jobs and dreaded bikini season....
- N said...
I was going to give you the Reality Bites line, but someone already took it. Its a good one.
So instead, I'll tell you 3 other things:
#1: I got married when I was 23. It has NOTHING to do with maturity. you do not have to feel obligated to act mature when you attend the wedding.
#2: You are not old, but at the age of 25, we all pretty much suddenly feel old and suddenly feel lost. Don't wallow. Set some goals for yourself that are true to your desires- do not compare yourself to other 20-somethings- and try your damnest to meet hem. That will make you feel better.
#3: Don't start taking life so seriously. Its dangerous. - 9:04 AM
- Nanook said...
Yay for the quarter-life crisis! I'm 25 as well and going through the exact same things as all of you!
I actually found a book on it *gasp* called Twenty Something, Twenty Everything... it talks about all the crap we've been taught to believe about ourselves that turned into crazy expectations. - 9:17 AM
- DevilsHeaven said...
I agree with Sorkin Fan. I had the same issue when I hit 25, and 30. But then I realized (at 32, soon to be 33), what the hell is "Being Somebody" anyway? I mean really? Are we talking rich and famous "somebody"? Are we talking I pay my bills with my own paycheck "somebody"? Because I've been THAT somebody for quite some time and I have a feeling that's the "somebody" we're all going to be anyway. Unless of course you want to be the "somebody" who is a baby momma with multiple baby daddies getting out on parole at various intervals. You make your own definition of what "Somebody" is, not the world at large, because YOU have to live with the "Somebody" you choose to be.
OMG, I am old. - 9:43 AM
- Cordelia said...
I turned 25...and got fired.
I'm 30 and I'm still not somebody. I started to feel old around 25 as well because of the life milestones my peers were reaching - marriage, kids, home ownership, etc. But, now that I'm 30 I've realized that you're not really old until your metabolism quits on you outta nowhere, two drinks give you a hangover and you start to get joint pain once in a while. THEN, my dear, you're actually getting old.
- The Accidental Bitch said...
I know sooo many people who are about ready to retire who aren't "somebody" so you're okay for now.
As long as you're happy, it's going to be okay. - 10:38 AM
- kittenpower said...
I feel you CB.
I'm so there myself. I think there are more people there than you realize.
Don't fret...we get this way for a reason. I think it's so we can learn to appreciate what we accomplish. - 10:50 AM
Please. I'm 36 and I DEFINITELY don't take anyone under the age of 27 seriously :)
You've got plenty of time to become "somebody"! - 10:57 AM
You're funny.
Check your definition of "somebody" and make sure it's not the "finally having your proverbial crap together" because like goals, once you attain one, you see further and realize you're not done yet.
And how much fun would it be if you were 24.999 years and were done? What would you do then? Would it be fun for more than that 10 minutes of cackling pleasure? - 11:13 AM
- vickdamone said...
yeah, I went through this same phase at 24. At first I called it my mid-life crisis. But then realized that it was truly my mid-life crisis, I'd die at 48. I now call it my quarter life crisis, though I don't know that I have the desire to live until I'm 96.
- ChiGirl said...
Great post.
I know the feeling all too well.
Drink up! - 12:46 PM
- hirotalksalot said...
It's the curse of our generation. We all think we're super-special so we're putting life on hold, waiting for the awesomeness that is surely around the corner. It's because our parents made the cruel mistake of consistently telling us we could do anything we want/be anything we want in life. LIES, LIES.
No worries, haven't you heard? 37 is the new 26. You still have 12 years!!!
- MC said...
I'm 24 and realizing I have no clue what I want from life and have accomplished absolutely nothing I had planned on doing by now. It's okay, most people I know are having the same thoughts.
ohh i know exactly what you mean - thanks for this post.
you have a gift for being profound without being at all saccharine. - 2:53 PM

I just got over obsessing about turning 29 at the end of the month, and now, thanks to this post, I'm all upset again. 29! Last year I can be a 20-something! And, I'm still just a peon. Truth be told, I have no desire to move beyond being a peon... I'm ready to retire.
- Valerie said...
For what it's worth, you are absolutely not alone. I'm turning 25 this year and have recently had similar conversations with several friends. I've been out of college for three and a half years, but I feel like I haven't "done" anything. Here's to living in the moment!
- Alison said...
For what its worth... 25 is nothing. I had my heart set on 26: being bona fide woman (WOO MAN), shit together, going places, officially past the first quarter... ready to dig in my heels.
It was a bit of a fizzer, but the up shot is that yu get to feel more and more confident as you go on.
Fuck off the youth tag as soon as you can - youth is just a euphamism for 'don't know anything'. - 7:09 PM

Try dating a 22 year old male at 26, just for fun. Demi Moore doesn't seem to feel old though and somehow that makes me feel better.
Hey! At least you're working on the whole commitment thing. If I could work on a way to age gracefully in the manner of George Clooney, I might be able to ride out the single wave until I'm at least 45. Maybe I could have a few illigitimate children along the way.
Awesome. - 8:52 PM

At the ripe 'old' age of 28, I have embarked on a complete change.
6 months ago I thought I had it all - bloke, house, cats, well-paid job - then I gave it all up.
I'm now a single, penniless nursing student in shared accommodation. But do you know what? I'm having the time of my life.
Being someone doesn't necessarily mean being settled and having a career. Being someone is doing what you want and being happy. - 12:17 PM

25 I had the first eye opening can't comprehend this age thing freak out birthday. My 30th birthday was the best time ever. 31 sucked.
35 I had cancer. Now it all seems good. Although wrinkles bite no matter what.
Oh and imagine the St Elmo's crew. They'd have 4 divorces each and political scandals and gender bending/oreintation crisis' by now if they were "real".
They didn't set the bar that high for us. - 10:47 PM
growing old is a gift that many people dont experience because they died young(cancer,suicide,crash etc)
im 21 - sure i feel old,but glad im still here :) - 7:17 PM
I turned 37 today ... and have only just started to realise that I have not achieved any of the things I thought I had to have done by now back when I was 21. No husband, no children, no house, no savings ... BUT I've been round the world three times, have a degree and a phd, drive an old car that I can usually fix when it breaks down and have more "actual" friends on facebook then my 16 year old niece. As I head towards my forties I am going to just re adjust all the goal posts to make myself a winner in my own head.
PS I love it when Judd Nelson runs to save Demi Moore in his big blue duffle coat. St Elmo's Fire rules! - 6:55 PM

When vegans come to call, serve this rich and dairy-free
Mexican chocolate cake. You'll score serious points. |
Serious alchemy is afoot in the humble guise of a vegan chocolate cake recipe. You know what I'm talkin' about- those of you out there with me in spirit, baking your tender little hearts out, hoping to conjure edible bites of bliss without gluten, dairy and eggs. It ain't easy. In fact, I'd venture to say that to keep at this thing- this GF/CF and allergy-free baking thing- without losing your ever fragile sanity (never mind your sense of humor) is a heroic act.
Pure and simple.
To perseverate in the serpentine quest for good (if not fabulous) taste for your food sensitive lover, your vegan sweetheart, your celiac or sensory sensitive angels, for trying again and again to whip up smile inducing foods of love, birthday cakes, and holiday cookies that don't taste like you're licking yesterday's pizza box, I salute you. You (as they say in the parlance of our time) rock. You inspire me. You invigorate me.
Pure and simple.
And for that, Dear and Gracious Reader, I thank you.
In return I offer you a vegan chocolate cake you can bake without apology or caveat.
And you can eat it, too.
And you can eat it, too.
Mexican Chocolate Cake Recipe
The list of ingredients may seem a little odd to the uninitiated, but don't be alarmed, Gentle Cook. It's all about chemistry. And finding deliciousness in the face of limitations. Kind of like painting with a limited palette. With only a few colors to choose from you dig deep. Creativity is not for the faint of heart.
The sweet potato in this cake brings a silky tenderness to the crumb (and no, you don't really taste it- the chocolate, vanilla, coffee and cinnamon flavors dominate).
Using your food processor makes this as easy as uno, dos, tres. I use this Cuisinart.
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Grease and dust a 9-inch cake pan or Springform pan with gluten-free flour.
Measure your dry ingredients into the food processor bowl (use standard blade).
1 cup buckwheat flour- or a mix of buckwheat, sorghum and brown rice flour
3 tablespoons tapioca starch (or arrowroot, or potato starch)
1/2 cup organic brown sugar
1 tablespoon dry Ener-G Egg Replacer
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Scant 3/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon instant coffee or espresso powder (decaf is fine)
Pulse on and off to distribute.
Add in the wet ingredients:
1/2 cup white sweet potato puree or canned pumpkin
4 oz. melted Belgian dark chocolate
2 tablespoons Spectrum Organic Shortening
1/2 cup honey- or use raw agave nectar to keep it strictly vegan
3/4 cup chocolate hemp milk- or non-dairy chocolate milk of choice
2 teaspoons lemon or orange juice
3 teaspoons bourbon vanilla extract
Cover and process the ingredients until a smooth batter forms.
Scrape and spoon the batter into the cake pan. Bake in the center of a preheated oven till firm- about 30 to 35 minutes. Please keep an eye on the cake and check it for doneness- I bake at high altitude; your mileage may vary.

Cool on a wire rack. Cover and chill.
Slice and serve with organic powdered sugar, fruit or chocolate sauce.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.
Karina's Notes*
This isn't a super sweet cake- though I used unsweetened Belgian baking chocolate from Trader Joe's. If you prefer a sweeter cake, use sweetened dark chocolate and up the sugar a bit, to taste.
This recipe pairs chocolate, cinnamon, coffee and vanilla for a Mexican chocolate taste. If you'd rather go a more straight-up-chocolate route, eliminate the cinnamon.
Enjoy sugary treats in moderation. Gluten-Free Goddess advises consuming no more than 2 tablespoons of sugar a day.

Adolph Bing left the company and Ignaz became chairman. 1907 Bing began producing plush toys including teddy bears. 1908 Legal battle with Steiff re the "button in ear" trademark 1909-1912 Neinrich Muller, the founder of Schuco, joined the company. He was trained by Kunz Weidlich the designer. 1911 Bing Ltd, operating from East London, became sole agents in Britain (as part of Eisenmann & Co Ltd). A lawsuit with Steiff began, which was to last until 1915, re the somersaulting bear 1917 Agents Concentra specialise in marketing all Bing products under different brand names. Bing was the only toy manufacturer to continue production during WWI. 1918 Ignaz Bing died 1919 L Rees & Co., based in London, act as distribution agents of Bing toys in Britain and Commonwealth. Stephen Bing, Ignaz's son, becomes director general and the company name was changed to Bing Works. 1927 Stephen Bing and all other family members left the company. A variety of reasons are offered ranging from boardroom disagreements to the treatment of Jews (the Bing family were Jewish) by Adolf Hitler. 1932 The company went into receivership, equipment was auctioned and parts are sold off, some to rivals such as Karl Bub another Nuremberg toy company, Fleischmann and Schuco. 1992 - 1994 In May 1992 Eric Kluge was in the USA on business. He was contacted by an elderly lady called Sarah Neumann, re some teddy bear patterns she owned. That lady was born Sarah Bing. Eric took the patterns and as soon as he returned to Germany he registered the logo and the company "Bing". In 1994 Gebruder Bing was reborn. Acrylic A synthetically produced fibre. Acrylic (polymethyl methacrylate) was developed after World War II for use in Courtelle, Dralon and other synthetic fabrics. The resultant fabric woven from acrylic fibres is very soft and warm. Alpaca The alpaca is a small llama. It's long, strong, fleece produces a soft and woolly fabric. Arctophile Someone who loves and usually collects teddy bears Artificial Silk (Art-silk) A man-made fibre, invented in the 1880's and first used in the toy industry at the end of the 1920's. B Boot Buttons In the 19th and early 20th centuries shoes and boots were usually fastened with black buttons (made from wood pulp). These were often used as eyes in early teddy bears. Burlap Also known as hessian. A course fabric fabric woven from jute and used for some early stuffed toys. C Center Seam When used in relation to a rare, early Steiff bear. To use material economically Steiff cut six teddy bear heads from one length of mohair, a seventh head was then cut in two pieces and sewn together forming a seam down the centre of the bears face. Cotter Pin A two-pronged metal pin used to fasten the disc joints which allow teddy to move his arms, legs and head. Cotton Waste The waste from the manufacture of cotton was used as stuffing during World War II when other materials, such as kapok, were not available. This waste is also known as "sub". E Excelsior US trade name for wood shavings or wood wool which was used to stuff teddy bears. F Fairy Foam Foam used as a stuffing material during 1960's. Felt A matted woollen fabric frequently used for teddy's paw and foot pads. G Golden Teddy Awards The number of bear artists increased significantly during the 1980's and 1990's. Their contribution was recognised when the Golden Teddy awards were introduced in 1987. Robin Rive has been nominated for and received a number of Golden Teddy awards. Growler A "voice-box" usually fitted in teddy's tummy but sometimes in his side which is activated by tipping him forward or backwards. H Hump A pronounced lump on the back of a bear, first used by Steiff but copied by other manufacturers. Most often seen on early bears. Hug A collection of teddy bears. I Inset Muzzle The bears nose and muzzle is made from a separate, often different, piece of fabric to the rest of the head/face. J Jointed Generally discs are inserted at each arm, leg and at the neck allowing movement. In the late 1950's bears without joints were produced which allowed them to be easily washed. K Kapok A light-weight, hygenic and soft stuffing material mainly used in the 1920's and 1930's L Layaway A service whereby, once a deposit has been paid, the seller will keep an item for an agreed period of time during which the balance is paid by instalments. Tell me more about layaway M Mohair Originally yarn or cloth made from the fleece of an angora goat but today it may be a wool and cotton mix. P Pads "Paw" pads are those at the end of the "arms" of a teddy bears. "Foot" pads are those on the soles of the feet. Pads are usually made of felt, but may also be made of rexine (for teddy bears made in 1940's or later), leather or cotton. R Replica In the 1980's manufacturers, such as Steiff, began making copies of their antique teddy bears. Often replica's are made in limited editions. Rexine The tradename for a leathercloth made by covering a woven cloth with cellulose nitrate. Used on British bear paw and foot pads from the late 1930's to early 1960's. Rod Bear A bear with metal joints that run through the body. Introduced by Steiff and used in their very early bears. S Sealing Wax Used to make moulded noses for teddy bears. Stick bear An inexpensive bear, with thin limbs, made in the USA. Squeaker A voice box, frequently fitted in teddy's tummy, which emits a sound when pressed. Sub Stuffing made from cotton waste and used during World War II when other materials, such as kapok, were not available. Swing Tag A thin card tag attached to a bear or hung around it's neck to identify the manufacturer. These were usually removed by parents. See the Chad Valley section of our Encyclopaedia for some examples. T Toby Award The number of bear artists increased significantly during the 1980's and 1990's. Their work was recognised when the Toby (Teddy Bear of the Year) was introduced in 1990. U Ultrasuede US tradename for a soft, synthetic fabric, developed in late 1960's/early 1970's, similar to suede. W Webbed Claws The four or five large stitches which form the paw claws are linked with a strand of thread to produce a webbed effect. This was used by Farnell and Merrythought in 1930's. Wood-wool Long, very fine wood shavings used for stuffing teddy bears. Also known as excelsior. Makes a scrunching sound when pressed. In America, the teddy bear, according to tradition, got its start with a cartoon. The cartoon, drawn by Clifford Berryman and titled "Drawing the Line in Mississippi," showed President Theodore Roosevelt refusing to shoot a baby bear. According to this often told tale, Roosevelt had traveled to Mississippi to help settle a border dispute between that state and Louisiana, and his hosts, wanting to please this avid hunter, took him bear hunting. The hunting was so poor that someone finally captured a bear and invited Roosevelt to shoot. Roosevelt's refusal to fire at such a helpless target inspired Berryman to draw his cartoon with its play on the two ways Roosevelt was drawing a line—settling a border dispute and refusing to shoot a captive animal. The cartoon appeared in a panel of cartoons drawn by Cliffored Berryman inThe Washington Post on November 16, 1902. It caused an immediate sensation and was reprinted widely. Apparently this cartoon even inspired Morris and Rose Michtom of Brooklyn, New York, to make a bear in honor of the president's actions. The Michtoms named their bear "Teddy's Bear" and placed it in the window of their candy and stationery store. Instead of looking fierce and standing on all four paws like previous toy bears, the Michtoms' bear looked sweet, innocent, and upright, like the bear in Berryman's cartoon. Perhaps that's why "Teddy's Bear" made a hit with the buying public. In fact, the demand was so strong that the Michtoms, with the help of a wholesale firm called Butler Brothers, founded the first teddy bear manufacturer in the United States, the Ideal Novelty and Toy Company. Meanwhile, across the ocean in Germany, Richard Steiff was working for his aunt, Margarete Steiff, in her stuffed toy business. Richard, a former art student, often visited the Stuttgart Zoo to sketch animals, particularly the bear cubs. In 1902, the same year the Michtoms made "Teddy's Bear," the Steiff firm made a prototype of a toy bear based on Richard's designs. Though both the Michtoms and Steiff were working on bears at the same time, certainly neither knew, at a time of poor transatlantic communication, about the other's creation. Besides, the Michtoms' bear resembled the wide-eyed cub in the Berryman cartoon, while the Steiff bear, with its humped back and long snout, looked more like a real bear cub. A few months later, in March 1903, at the Leipzig Toy Fair, Steiff introduced its first bear—Baer 55PB. The European buyers showed little interest, but an American toy buyer, who was aware of the growing interest in "Teddy's bears" in the States, ordered 3000. In America, people were beginning to get teddy bear fever, and Steiff was in the right place at the right time.The Teddy Bear Craze By 1906, the teddy bear craze was in full swing in the United States. The excitement probably compared to the frenzy for Cabbage Patch dolls in the 1980s and Beanie Babies in the 1990s. Society ladies carried their teddies everywhere, and children had their pictures taken with their teddy bears. President Roosevelt, after using a bear as a mascot in his re-election bid, was serving his second term. Seymour Eaton, an educator and a newspaper columnist, was writing a series of children's books about the adventures of The Roosevelt Bears, and another American, composer J.K. Bratton, wrote "The Teddy Bear Two Step." That song would become, with the addition of words,"The Teddy Bear's Picnic." Meanwhile, American manufacturers were turning out bears in all colors and all kinds, from teddy bears on roller skates to teddy bears with electric eyes. "Teddy bear," without the apostrophe and the s, became the accepted term for this plush bruin, first appearing in print in the October 1906 issue of Playthings Magazine. Even Steiff, a German company, adopted the name for its bears. Steiff and Ideal were no longer the only players in the teddy bear business. In America, dozens of competitors sprang up. Almost all of these very early companies didn't last, with the notable exception of the Gund Manufacturing Corporation. Gund made its first bears in 1906 and is still making bears today. American teddy bear companies faced stiff competition from all the teddy bears imported from Germany, and many of the U.S. companies didn't last long. In Germany, toymaking was an old and established industry, and many German firms, such as Bing, Schuco, and Hermann, joined with Steiff in making fine teddy bears. In England, The J.K. Farnell & Co. got its start; in fact, the original Winnie the Pooh was a Farnell bear Christopher Robin Milne received as a first birthday present from his mother in 1921. Five years later, his father, A.A. Milne, would begin to publish the Winnie-the-Pooh books about his son Christopher's adventures with his bear and his other stuffed animals. Today you can see the original toys that inspired the Winnie-the-Pooh books on permanent display in the Central Children's Room of the Donnell Branch of the New York Public Library in New York City, while the Pooh books themselves are as popular as ever.More Great Years: The 1920s - 1940s With the exception of the four years when World War I raged in Europe, the next 25 years were kind to the teddy bear. Mass production had not yet taken over the teddy bear world, and people still preferred to buy high quality, hand-finished teddy bears. Because World War I interrupted the flow of teddy bears from Germany, new teddy bear industries developed outside Germany. Chad Valley, Chiltern, and Dean's joined Farnell in England; Pintel and Fadap were begun in France, and Joy Toys in Australia. The bears themselves changed, too. Boot-button eyes were replaced by glass, and excelsior stuffing was replaced by a softer alternative, kapok. The United States was relatively untouched by the war, and its teddy bear industry continued to grow. For example, the Knickerbocker Toy Company got its start in 1920 and continues to make teddy bears today. Nine years later, though, the U.S. was hit by the Depression, and most teddy bear companies were hurt by the financial crisis. After 1929, many American companies either found cheaper ways to produce bears, or they closed. In the 1920s and 30s, musical bears and mechanical bears were very popular, and they were produced all over the world. Perhaps the most noteworthy manufacturers of these novelty bears were Schuco and Bing. These two German companies made bears that walked, danced, played ball, and even turned somersaults. But the outbreak of World War II in 1939 stopped the fun. Instead of making teddy bears, the world's workers and factories were needed for the war effort. Some companies closed and never reopened.The Lean Years: The 1950s - 1970s While traditional teddy bear companies had always prided themselves on quality hand-finishing and had always used natural fibers to make their bears, all that changed after World War II. Fueled by a desire for washable toys, synthetic fibers were all the rage in the post-War years. Buyers liked the idea of washable toys, so bears were made from nylon or acrylic plush, and had plastic eyes and foam rubber stuffing. While traditional teddy bear companies could adapt to this change in materials, they were not prepared to compete against the flood of much cheaper, mass-produced teddy bears coming from eastern Asia. Even the old, well-established companies were hurt by the onslaught of inexpensive teddy bears from the Far East. The Teddy Bear's Comeback: The Present Strangely enough, the comeback of the teddy after years of mass-production was triggered, not by a bear maker, but by an actor. On television, British actor Peter Bull openly expressed his love for teddy bears and his belief in the teddy bear's importance in the emotional life of adults. After receiving 2000 letters in response to his public confession, Peter realized he wasn't alone. In 1969, inspired by this response, he wrote a book about his lifelong affection for teddy bears, Bear with Me, later called The Teddy Bear Book. His book struck an emotional chord in thousands who also believed in the importance of teddy bears. Without intending to, Bull created an ideal climate for the teddy bear's resurgence. The teddy bear began to regain its popularity, not so much as a children's toy, but as a collectible for adults. In 1974, Beverly Port, an American dollmaker who also loved making teddy bears, dared to take a teddy bear she made to a doll show. At the show, she presented Theodore B. Bear holding the hand of one of her dolls. The next year, Beverly presented a slide show she had created about teddy bears for the United Federation of Doll Clubs. That show quickly became a sensation. Other people, first in the United States and then all over world, caught Beverly's affection for the teddy bear. They, too, began applying their talents to designing and making teddy bears. One by one, and by hand, teddy bear artistry was born with Beverly, who coined the term "teddy bear artist," often cited as the mother of teddy bear artistry. Today thousands of teddy bears artists, often working from their homes all over the world, create soft sculpture teddy bear art for eager collectors. Artist bears also set the stage for a new kind of manufactured bear, the artist-designed manufactured bear. Today artist-designed manufactured bears are offered by Ganz, Gund, Dean's, Knickerbocker, Grisly Spielwaren, and others; all offer collectors the opportunity to own artist-designed bears that cost less due to mass production. American teddy bear artist Heather Stanley made 14-inch Simon. This increased appreciation for the teddy bear as an adult collectible has also increased the value of antique teddy bears, the hand-finished, high-quality teddy bears manufactured in the first decades of the 20th century. In the 1970s and 1980s, these old, manufactured teddy bears began showing up in antique doll and toy auctions, and they began winning higher and higher bids. Today the current record price for one teddy bear, Teddy Girl by Steiff, is $176,000; that bear was sold at Christie's auction house in 1994. So what's next for the teddy bear? Certainly our love affair with the teddy bear shows no signs of abating. In 1999, in just the United States, collectors purchased $441 million worth of teddy bears. Certainly, as we begin our journey through a new century, we certainly need the teddy bear's gift of uncondtional acceptance, love, and reassurance more than ever. The name Teddy Bear comes from one of American President Theodore Roosevelt's hunting trips to Mississippi. There were several other hunters competing, and most of them had already shot something. A suite of Roosevelt's attendants, lead by Holt Collier,[1] cornered, clubbed, and tied to a willow tree an American Black Bearafter a long exhausting chase with hounds. They called Roosevelt to the site and suggested he shoot it. He refused to shoot the bear himself, deeming this un-sportsmanlike,[2] but instructed that the bear be killed to put it out of its misery, and it became the topic of a political cartoon by Clifford Berryman in The Washington Post on November 16, 1902.[3]While the initial cartoon of an adult black bear lassoed by a white handler and a disgusted Roosevelt had symbolic overtones, later issues of that and other Berryman cartoons made the bear smaller and cuter.[4] A Brooklyn store owner, Morris Michtom, saw the drawing of Roosevelt and the bear cub and was inspired to create a new toy. He created a little stuffed bear cub and put it in his shop window with a sign that read "Teddy's bear." The toys were an immediate success and Michtom founded the Ideal Novelty and Toy Co., which still exists today.[2] At the same time, in Germany the Steiff firm, unaware of Michtom's bear, produced a stuffed bear from Richard Steiff's designs. They exhibited the toy at the Leipzig Toy Fair in March 1903 and exported 3000 to the United States.[5][2][6] By 1906 manufacturers other than Michtom and Steiff had joined in and the craze for Teddy Bears was such that ladies carried them everywhere, children were photographed with them, and Roosevelt used one as a mascot in his bid for re-election.[5] American educator Seymour Eaton wrote the children's book series The Roosevelt Bears,[7] while composer John Bratton wrote "The Teddy Bear Two Step" music which with Jimmy Kennedy's lyrics became the song "The Teddy Bears' Picnic".[8] [edit] Legend While the Mississippi history is fact, another legend of how the teddy bear got its name comes from the American state of Colorado. In 1905, the Hotel Colorado in Glenwood Springs, Colorado, became the temporary home for the President of the United States and his assistants during a three-week bear hunting expedition. Roosevelt stayed at the Hotel Colorado on multiple occasions after this. According to the hotel, maids gave a stuffed bear pieced together with scraps of material to Theodore Roosevelt after an unsuccessful day of hunting to cheer him up. Later, when he did kill a bear, his teenage daughter Alice admired it saying, "I will call it Teddy."[9] [edit] Kinds of teddy bears A 1902 political cartoon in The Washington Post spawned the Teddy bear name. Commercially made, mass-produced teddy bears are predominantly made as toys for children. These bears have safety joints for attaching arms legs and heads. They must have securely fastened eyes that do not pose a choking hazard for small children. These "plush" bears must meet a rigid standard of construction in order to be marketed to children in the United States and in the European Union. By contrast, artist bears are not mass produced and are not intended for small children. In fact, most carry a tag saying that "These bears are intended for an adult market of avid collectors. They are individually created by a whole host of artists around the world. Many of these artists design their own bears as well as making them by hand or stitching them up on home sewing machines. These bears are not mass marketed." They are available for purchase through the individual artists, specialty shops, web sites, and at art shows, Teddy Bear shows and craft shows across the globe. These bears are almost always jointed with movable heads, arms and legs. The jointing systems to attach these appendages and heads are most often disk and screw or disk and cotter pin combinations but can be done with buttons, simple string, chain or any other method an enterprising artist may devise. There are also companies that sell handmade collectible bears that can be purchased in stores or over the Internet. Some examples of such companies are Steiff and Original Paka Bear Company. The "fur" from which these charming creatures are made is as varied and interesting as the bears themselves. Mohair, the fur shorn or combed from a breed of long haired goats, is woven into cloth, dyed and trimmed to produce a fascinating choice for any artist's palette. Alpaca teddy bears are made from the pelt of an alpaca because the fiber is too soft to weave. In addition to mohair and alpaca, there is a huge selection of "plush" or synthetic fur made for the teddy bear market. Both these types of fur are commercially produced. 10 modern day teddy bears of various type. Some teddy bear artists specialize in the production of bears made from recycled materials. These artists hunt thrift stores, flea markets, garage sales and trash collection centers as well as their own and their families' basements and attics in search of forgotten treasures to be turned into a collector's dream. Old quilts, dresses, fur collars, coats and stoles as well as beaded bags and garments are quickly transformed into stunning teddy bears. Some other teddy bear artists specialize in crochet bears made out of thread. They are called Thread Crochet Bears. For these bears artists do not use fabric; they make the fabric crocheting and at the same time make the bear. Thread Crochet Bears are fully jointed, miniature bears. Some are even micro, less than 2 inches tall. Thread crochet bears may be made out of crochet cotton thread, Perle cotton thread, Mohair thread, Punch thread, some thin fancy yarn, like eyelash, or any other fiber that can be. [edit] Today Teddy bears have seen a resurgence in popularity as national "do it yourself" chains have opened. Among the largest and best known are Build-A-Bear Workshop and Vermont Teddy Bear Companywith the former being mostly in malls where you go in and actually piece together your own teddy bear including its accessories such as shirts, pants, shoes, hats, glasses, etc. [edit] Museums The world's first Teddy Bear Museum was set up in Petersfield, Hampshire, England, in 1984. In 1990, a similar foundation was set up in Naples, Florida, United States. This was closed in 2005, and the bears sold by auction.

It was begun in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, who was later assisted by her brother Fritz. Their nephew Richard joined in 1897, who gave the company an enormous boost in popularity by creating the teddy bear in 1902. In 1907, Steiff manufactured 974,000 bears, and has been increasing its output ever since. The Steiff company motto, as styled by Margarete Steiff, is "Only the best is good enough for children". Steiff products are subject to meticulous testing and inspection. They are required to be highly flame resistant and, among other things, smaller pieces such as eyes must be able to resist considerable tension, wear and tear, etc. The most common materials used in Steiff toys are alpaca, felt, mohair, and woven plush. Eyes are generally made of wood or glass, and the stuffing is commonly wood shavings or polyesterfibers. A large amount of the work is done by hand, from design sketches to airbrushed paint. The final touch on any Steiff toy is the trademark "button in ear" (assuming the animal has one; in any case they'll find a spot for it). The famed "button in ear" was devised by Margarete's nephew Franz in 1904, to keep counterfeits from being passed off as authentic Steiff toys. It was originally of metal with the symbol of an elephant, later replaced by the name "Steiff". The button is still used to distinguish Steiff toys from fakes.[1][2] [edit] Margarete Steiff Margarete Steiff (July 24, 1847 - May 9, 1909), born in Giengen, started creating toy stuffed animals in 1880 in the town of Giengen an der Brenz, Germany. Margarete was a seamstress and confined to a wheelchair, due to polio she contracted as a baby, she started making stuffed animals as a hobby. These toys began as elephants, which were originally a design Steiff found in a magazine and originally sold as pincushionsto her friends. However, children began playing with them, and in the years following she went on to design many other successful animal-themed toys for children, such as dogs, cats and pigs. She designed and made most of the prototypes herself. She died in Giengen on May 9, 1909 of pneumonia.

At its May meeting, the Richmond Community College Board of Trustees approved a new student placement policy for students graduating from high school this spring and enrolling in the college next fall.
"For the high school class of 2013, a student with an unweighted grade point average (GPA) of 2.6 or higher will not have to take our placement test, the ACCUPLACER," said Sharon Goodman, RCC's Director of Testing. To be eligible to exempt the ACCUPLACER based on the GPA criteria, a student must complete high school with a Future Ready Core 1, 2, 3, or 4 course of study.
Also, according to the new policy, if a student has below a 2.6 unweighted GPA in high school, the student's SAT or ACT scores can be used to determine if they are college ready and exempt from placement testing.
Applicants to RCC who graduated prior to 2013 and/or graduated from an out-of-state high school will be required to take the placement test unless they meet the exemption criteria based on their ACT or SAT scores.
"This is a statewide change in policy, not something that is unique to RCC," said Al Covington, Vice Chair of the Student and Academic Policies committee.
The trustees also voted to approve a new student attendance policy at Tuesday's meeting that strikes a balance between student retention and student accountability.
"This new policy gives the faculty more flexibility to establish attendance guidelines that can increase student retention while still meeting student learning outcomes," said RCC's Vice President of Instruction Tony Clarke. "At the same time it places more responsibility on the students for their own academic progress."
In other business, the board approved a bid for roof replacement on the J. Richard Conder Learning Center on the college's main campus. Mecklenburg Roofing will be completing the replacement on the 26-year-old building's original roof this summer.
Bert Unger, Chair of the Building and Grounds Committee, updated the trustees on the progress of the addition to the Forte Building.
"We are moving forward on the Forte Building addition," said Unger. "Currently, the project is on schedule. They are erecting steel frame this week and the building is beginning to take shape."
In his report, RCC President Dale McInnis recognized the Medical Assisting program at the college for attaining accreditation from the Medical Assisting Education Review Board. Accreditation is based on student retention, job placement, graduate surveys and employer surveys.
McInnis also updated the board on the college's 49th graduation exercises.
"This is a momentous occasion in the history of the college," said McInnis. "It is an honor for the college to be celebrating another large graduating class this year."
According to McInnis, the 2013 graduation exercises will be the last time that the college will host a single commencement ceremony.
"With our tremendous growth, we will have to hold two graduation ceremonies next year," said McInnis.
