Trader Joe's 2012 Vintage Ale – Unibroue, a good holiday drink
Mark, Timo, Ravi, Lucy and Jane tried Trader Joe's 2012 Vintage Ale. Mark thought it tasted like a combination of sweet chocolate and a porter. It tasted clove like. He rated it as 7 because it has lots of character but not too sweet like Belgian. Timo gave 4 because it was strongly flavored. While Ravi rated it 6. Both Mark and Ravi agreed that it is a good holiday drink. Lucy liked its sweetness and gave 7. Jane thought it as pine needles and aromatic.
Trader Joe's Vintage Ale has appeared once a year since 2005. It's a Belgian strong ale, running about 9% ABV and is contract brewed by Unibroue, the highly regarded Quebec maker of Belgian beers. From the very beginning, Unibroue has carved out a special niche in the beer world with top quality products and a brand rooted deep in Quebec culture. It made history by becoming the first North American beer maker to use a brewing method inspired by the two-centuries-old tradition developed by Trappist monks in Europe—particularly in Belgium. Over the years, Unibroue has remained faithful to its origins even as it has grown to become an icon of the brewing world. (Source: http://www.unibroue.com/en/unibroue/history)
The Vintage Ale is made with dark Belgian malts and spices, each year's batch being slightly different. Most years, the 750 ml (25 ounces) corked bottles are labeled as "ale on lees," meaning there's a layer of yeast sediment in the bottle for further fermenting, assuring the flavor will continue to evolve. (Source: http://www.chicagonow.com/the-beeronaut/2010/11/beer-alert-trader-joes-vintage-ale/)
This dark beer pours an incredibly thick and resilient head that slowly dissipates as the beer settles. It smells slightly fruitier and sweeter than its counterpart being. Indeed, it is a thinner and more noticeably effervescent drink than its cousin, but the two share many similarities. The almost tropical flavors presented in this beer are balanced by a hint of citrusy hops and a moderate darkness, yet nothing too intense to frighten away more timid drinkers. This is a highly drinkable beer and while it's got a great deal of intricacy and flavor, it's hardly intimidating. The bottle might be attractive to a wine drinker. Classy and simple. So there's that. And it's awfully lovely to look at after it's poured: that big, off-white head, under which the beer–a rich brown, reminiscent of the color of dark figs–bubbles excitedly from its high carbonation. If you're in a Trader Joe's and find yourself curious, grab a bottle. It's a great price and a great beer, whether you're a well seasoned palate or a curious individual who seldom drinks craft beer. Grab it while it lasts and enjoy!

Are you looking for a Psychic Near Me in Arlington Virginia 22226.
Psychic Near Me Arlington Virginia 22226
I am often asked how I remain happy and inspired all the time. The answer has two parts to it; positivity and self-talk.
Several years ago I had a colleague who was permanently grumbling about everything and everyone in her life. Each day when she came to the workplace, it would begin, "you wouldn't believe this … can you imagine he did that … this will never ever work, I'm so tired …" therefore on.This would go
on throughout the day and it would own everybody in the workplace nuts!She was what I want to refer to as a "Psychic Vampire", somebody who aims to take away your fantastic thoughts and energy. Her negative energy would use you down if you permitted it to permeate you. The unfavorable ideas that she created on a continuous basis really impacted a few of the employees.She was so unfavorable the lights would begin when she left a room!Do you understand anybody like that in your life? Do you understand someone who constantly tries to suck the vital force from you or those around you?SURROUND YOURSELF WITH POSITIVITY I have actually made it my absolute law that I do not enable any
negative individuals anywhere near me. My energy is way too precious, and so I safeguard it. I only surround myself with individuals who are favorably charged both psychologically and physically. The exchange between us is dynamic and energizing, not depleting.We are all just made up of energy, and we launch and handle energy with every breath and thought. We need to be very careful with whom we relate to and with whom we enable into our energy zone.So word of care:– — Do not allow anybody the opportunity to take your life force!POSITIVE SELF TALK The other extremely important difference is understanding my own" self talk". The chatter in my own mind is much more important than what others state. Keep your ideas positive. If you discover yourself captured up in negative self-talk stop at the same time and change your internal chatter. You need to know the times you aren't saying or thinking nice thoughts about yourself. You are listening and conditioning your concealed self-image whether you are aware of it.If I ever capture myself talking negatively to myself I right away alter" mental tracks" and state something favorable to myself. If something turns up over and over again, I understand there's a much deeper obstacle I must deal with. I then go to deal with reconditioning my mind with affirmations that are opposite to the unfavorable psychological chatter.For the next seven days end up being very familiar with the people around you, and do not permit any negative energy around you.Also, be in tune with the psychological chatter that goes on in your own head. Stop any negative dialogue that you capture yourself having, and change it instantly with something positive!As always, keep in mind to … Produce Fantastic Outcomes!

November 8, 2013
Premier Greg Selinger has announced that four Victoria Cross (VC) recipients from Manitoba have been recognized with lakes named permanently in their honour.
The four men who received the highest medal of valour in the Commonwealth, all served in the First and Second World Wars.
"As we reflect on the sacrifices made during the past century by tens of thousands of men and women from throughout Canada, it is absolutely essential their contributions be remembered," said the premier. "The lakes being named today will ensure these four brave men will never be forgotten."
The veterans and their geographic features are:
- Alexander Brereton Lake, named after Company Quartermaster Sgt. Alexander Picton Brereton, VC, who was born Nov. 13, 1892, in Oak River and served with the 8th Battalion, Winnipeg Rifles. He died on Jan. 10, 1976.
- Cruickshank Lake, named after Maj. Robert Edward Cruickshank, VC, who was born on June 17, 1888, in Winnipeg and served with the London Scottish Regiment. He died on Aug. 30, 1961.
- Coulson Mitchell Lake, named after Lt.-Col. Coulson Norman Mitchell, VC, Military Cross (MC) , who was born on Dec. 11, 1889, in Winnipeg and served with the Royal Canadian Engineers. He died on Nov. 17, 1978.
- Harcus Strachan Lake, named after Lt.-Col. Harcus Strachan, VC, MC, who was born on Nov. 7, 1884, in Borrowstounness, Scotland. He immigrated to Canada in 1908 and served with the Fort Garry Horse. He died on May 1, 1982.
All the lakes are located approximately 90 to 110 kilometres east of Thompson.
With today's announcement, the provincial government has now named geographical features in honour of all 14 Manitoba VC recipients.
The Brereton family has been located and will be sent a commemorative name certificate for Brereton Lake.
Due to the difficulty in locating next of kin for other recipients, it is expected that certificates of registration will be given to their regiments. However, any family members of the other men being honoured are asked to contact provincial toponymist Des Kappel at 204-945-1798 in Winnipeg.

During a photo op on Thursday evening, President Donald Trump alluded to this being the "calm before the storm." When asked to elaborate, he said: "You'll find out."

The report said the highest rate of poverty is in Chin State, at 73%, followed by Arakan State at 44%, Tanintharyi Division at 33%, Shan State at 33%, and Ayeyerwaddy Division at 32%.
Arakan State in the western coastal region has potential, with its geographically rich natural resources, to become a developed and prosperous state compared to other states and regions in Burma. But, Arakanese intellectual Dr. Aye Kyaw from New York says, Arakan being ruled as a hidden colony with militarization for many years is the main reason it has become an impoverished state in Burma.
"Arakan is just a hidden colony existing under cover of a state with over militarization by the Burmese forces for so many years. Now there are over 60 battalions based in the state and they are not the forces being deployed for the well-being of the state, but for monopolizing the state's resources for their own benefit, and these are the reasons why Arakan became impoverished," said Dr. Aye Kyaw.
He said the forces have confiscated many arable lands from the local people and contained the people's access to natural resources with strict rules within the state.
Dr. Aye Chan, an Arakanese professor from Japan's Kanta University, also said the high level of poverty afflicts the state because the government and its armed forces has monopolized even resources such as land, waters, and forests, on which the local residents depend for the livelihoods.
"All natural products and resources are being monopolized by the government and its forces in Arakan State. For example, the local residents have no right to fish in their nearby waters such as ponds, creeks, rivers, and the sea, for their livelihoods without paying a huge toll and tax to them. That is the reason why the highest level of poverty afflicts the state," said Dr. Aye Chan.
He said despite the multibillion international business projects being constructed for exporting gas and oil found in onshore and offshore fields in Arakan State, most of the Arakanese people are fleeing their homeland to find jobs elsewhere to survive.
Over three million people are now living in Arakan State and it is estimated that over a million people have left their homeland for mainland Burma and neighboring countries due to political oppression and economic hardships in their state.
According to the report, Arakan also has the lowest level of literacy, with 71% of primary enrollment rate and 32% of secondary enrollment rate.
In terms of electricity, Arakan State has the lowest access rate, with just 26% of the population having access to electricity, most of whom are urban dwellers.
However, the report said the poverty rate has fallen by 6% across the whole of Burma according to the 2009 - 2010 survey as compared to the 2004 - 2005 survey, and the current poverty rate in the country is 26%, of which 70% is from people living in rural areas.

For years, technologies like the home pregnancy test, breast pumps and tampons have been "helping" women through life's everyday experiences. Some view these technologies as "feminist" in nature, yet, recent research on feminist technologies has questioned whether or not technologies are entirely liberating or empowering for women.
Linda L. Layne (2010) defines a feminist technology as "those tools plus knowledge that enhance women's ability to develop, expand, and express their capacities" (p. 3). Layne notes that before we can define a technology as feminist, we must consider the benefits and consequences of using it. In essence, just because a product is marketed as being liberating to women, doesn't mean it is. And just because it is liberating to some women, doesn't make it liberating for all women.
Layne (2009) first develops her ideas of feminist technologies in her article "The Home Pregnancy Test: A Feminist Technology?". Here she argues that although the home pregnancy test grants women the freedom to discover pregnancy, in the privacy of the home, as well as helps to ensure early prenatal care, these advantages are quickly overridden by the medical industry. After taking a test, women are advised, from their peers and the pamphlet of the pregnancy test, to call their doctor (the initial transfer of care begins here) and they must then take a blood test to confirm their initial discovery.
Layne also makes us aware of the fact that taking a home pregnancy test is not really a private experience. The person at the checkout, a partner or garbage collector can be easily made aware of a woman's private reproductive state. For these reasons, and the fact that the home pregnancy test benefits the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture them above anyone else, Layne concludes that the home pregnancy test is not a feminist technology.
Before reading Layne's article, I didn't really view the home pregnancy test as anything but one test in the mix of many a woman must go through to confirm pregnancy. However, page after page of this insightful article reveals a very different, and medically controlled process of pregnancy confirmation.
My recent discovery of Valley Electronics', Lady-Comp – a German-engineered fertility awareness technology, got me thinking of Layne's feminist technology criteria.
Made in 1986, with a ten-year life expectancy and a Pearl Index of 0.7 Lady Comp is the most effective natural family planning technology on the market (The Pearl Index is a common technique used for testing the effectiveness of a birth control method).
Each morning you wake up and take your temperature, orally, Lady-Comp does the rest. After building up a history of your menstrual cycles, whether from the onset of use or by you entering past data you may have collected on your own, Lady-Comp can tell you when you are fertile. For about $500.oo (excluding software updates, power supply and a travel adaptor) you can take charge of your reproductive health – well take charge through a machine.
The device's brochures details how Lady-Comp "contains a data-base of more than 900 000 cycles and uses bio-mathematical forecasting calculations as well as the very latest computer techniques". And after a while if you do want to get pregnant you can upgrade to a pregnancy planning software and Lady-Comp Baby which will tell you when you are pregnant, calculate your expected due date and even "guess" the sex of your baby.
Accurate, yes, but can it be classified as a feminist technology?
My main reason for not classifying Lady-Comp as feminist centres on the transfer of autonomy from women to a machine. This creates a dependency that often leads to women being distant from their natural reproductive processes. We see this often with the use of oral contraceptives. However, I will not ignore the fact that some women may feel they are more knowledgeable about their menstrual health because of Lady-Comp.
For myself, and as a woman who has never used Lady-Comp, I think it is fair to say that like the home pregnancy test, Lady-Comp still requires the follow-up steps after initial discovery, transfer of care to the medical profession and reliance on something technological – a technology that begins to be the "expert" when it comes to natural family planning, rather than women themselves.
I see this dependency and expertise in my own life, in my use of menstrual tracking mobile applications. I now look to the device to tell me when my next period will be, rather than my physical symptoms. Yes, I can override the information and yes, I am able to still identify symptoms, but the fact that I check an App to determine trends and feelings, is a bit scary
Many technologies make a woman's reproductive life easier, but we must ensure we are aware of the dependence many of them create and that we are doing our part to ensure we are still educated, informed and active participants in our reproductive health.

DVD Preview – Superman Day (11/28)
Posted: November 28th, 2006 by
WorstPreviews.com Staff
If you are a Superman fanatic, this is the day that you have been waiting for. First, let's start with the latest blockbuster that revived the franchise, "
Superman Returns
Bryan Singer
's take on the superhero received a rather lukewarm reception at the box-office as it was easily outperformed by the likes of "
Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest
" or "
X-Men: The Last Stand
." Still, it's worth checking out, either as a single-disc edition or a Deluxe 2-disc set.
Warner Bros
. has decided to put out the entire Superman movie series, with each title getting a special edition. The original, and still the best, "Superman: The Movie," now has a Special Edition that's a whopping 4-disc set. "Superman II" gets a 2-disc Special Edition, while parts III and IV get single-disc deluxe editions. If you want to own all four of these in one shot, there's "The Christopher Reeve Superman Collection." If you want to throw in the latest "Superman Returns" into the mix as well, there's the "Superman Ultimate Collectors Edition." The real treat, however, is the long-awaited release of "Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut," which is also included in the latter collection. For those that do not know, the first installment in the series was directed by
, who then took over the duties for the sequel as well. Although he finished the film, the studio decided to scrap half of his work and have Richard Lester tinker with it more to their liking. Up until now, Donner's version has been unavailable commercially, although some bootleg copies have been rumored to be circulating. The new release offers a drastically different and very interesting take on the sequel from the one we are familiar with.
Not to be outdone, director
Kevin Smith
has two releases of his own. First, there's his successful
Clerks II
," which revisits the familiar characters and locations of his first, breakthrough hit, ten years later. Second, there's "An Evening with Kevin Smith 2: Evening Harder," where the filmmaker once again gets into lengthy discussions about his work in Q&A sessions with fans, this time in London and Toronto.
A couple more all new releases hit stores today. The CGI
film "
The Ant Bully
," which features the voices of such superstars as
Nicolas Cage
Paul Giamatti
Julia Roberts
, and
Meryl Streep
, underperformed at the box-office, but should prove to be a great rental. Meanwhile, one of the many generic
flicks that populate the screens recently, "
See No Evil
," should entertain many eager teenagers that still have not been thrilled enough. The flick stars WWE wrestler
Glen Jacobs
, AKA Kane, as an unstoppable killer after a group of… teens, of course.
A couple of re-releases might be worth checking out as well. The crazy comedy "National Lampoon's Van Wilder" gets a Special Edition that features new, unrated footage. The release will coincide with the upcoming sequel "
The Rise of Taj
," which hits theaters
December 1st
's classic, but somewhat flawed 1973 animated film "Robin Hood" gets the DVD treatment with a solid "Most Wanted Edition."
Plenty of television shows are hitting the DVD shelves as well. Here's what you can now own or rent:
7th Heaven - The Complete Third Season
Bones - Season One
Ellen: The Complete Season 5
Flavor Of Love: The Complete Second Season
Jamie Kennedys Blowin Up - The Complete First Season
Joan Of Arcadia: The Second Season
Thundercats: Season Two - Volume Two
Touched By An Angel: The Third Season - Volume One

Caring properly for your smartphone battery
A smartphone is simply one of the last decade's greatest pieces of technology. Without one, many people simply are lost. From social networks, instant messenger applications, to the way we just get our news, smartphones have changed our daily lives – and for the better.
That said, we are pretty much making use of them all our waking hours and for that reason, smartphone battery life is very important. Most however, do not even last the day with constant use. Now there are ways around this. A power bank or portable battery charger, for example, is a great way to give your phone's battery life the boost it needs.
However, caring for your smartphone battery is just as important. If not, over time, its performance can become even poorer. But how do you care for your smartphones battery effectively? At Advance Phones, we get this question all the time so we drew up a little guide.
Portable battery chargers
Now our first tip is not so much to do with caring for your battery. We mentioned power banks or portable battery chargers above. These are the perfect way to make sure your smartphone battery can be charged, especially if you are nowhere near a plug point. Although they can be a little expensive, buying one of these makes perfect sense, especially if you are a heavy user of your smartphone.
How do they work? Well, there are a number of different models available but in general, they are either available as a case that fits snugly around your smartphone, or as something you would plug your phone into to receive a charge. Of course, you need to make sure your portable charger is charged as well or if you live in a really sunny area, you could consider one that keeps its charge through an array of small solar panels. Technology is simply amazing, isn't it?
Totally reboot your phone at least once a week
Our smartphones are running many applications that we are not even aware of. Sometimes the operating system can get a little unstable which causes these applications to drain your battery faster than they should. It is therefore a good idea to make sure you totally reboot your phone once every week just to restart these applications and to ensure an extended life for your battery.
A word of advice, make sure you reboot the phone properly. This does not mean that you just switch it on and off. You should switch it off, remove the battery, wait 30 seconds and then reinsert the battery before switching your phone on again.
It's good to let your battery die every once in a while
At least once a month, make sure your battery runs out completely. This can really extend the life of the unit as it ensures that all the cells are used more regularly. If you do not do this, certain of the battery cells become redundant. By discharging the battery, you not only use them but when they are charged again, they are sure to be at a 100% their potential. A word of advice however, make sure that after running your phone battery down totally, you charge it back to 100% before unplugging the charger, otherwise the battery cells can be damaged and not charge to their full potential in future.
Try to keep your battery cool
Now one of the biggest ways for batteries to lose their ability to hold a charge is if they get hot too quickly. This is a two-edged sword. Unfortunately, certain apps are not very well coded and put your battery into overdrive. This causes it to become hot and to drain faster. Now we all know you like playing games on your phone but if you feel your battery getting too hot, rather take a break and let it cool.
The same can be said for the heat from the sun and objects. For instance, never put your phone battery side down on a hot surface. So if you are outside sitting a table enjoying a drink, rather keep your phone in your pocket than putting it down on the table, which no doubt has been baking in the sun. Also, check your battery when it is charging. It should get slightly hotter, but if you are using the wrong charger, it might get too hot. Always use the charger recommended by the mobile phone manufacturer.

Justin Timberlake and 25,000 fans sing Happy Birthday to 8 year old boy with Aut
What Happens When Justin Timberlake and 25,000 Fans Sing Happy Birthday to A Boy With Autism?
It was the great Leonard Bernstein who said,
"Music can name the unnameable and communicate the unknowable,"
Which might explain why I haven't been able to put into words what happened last night when my husband and I took our son, Julian to see Justin Timberlake and The Tennessee Kids for his 8th birthday.

It's a big mailing - 8.5" x 11" card stock, big image of the US constitution with a picture of Patrick Meehan, our alleged representative, superimposed on it. It sez:
Patrick Meehan
Fighting to Pass a Balanced Budget Amendment
Followed with a bunch of crap about debt and amending the Constitution.
And then there's a tear-off push-poll. What does "push-poll" mean? It means that while pretending to be designed to obtain the reader's opinion (i.e. a legitimate poll), the questions and answers provided to select from are not only biased, but also designed to influence the reader's opinion.
What does that look like? Here, I'll give you an example:
To balance our budget, Congress should:
__ Reduce federal spending and reform programs to reduce waste and efficiency
__ Increase taxes to pay for existing government programs
So, you're either for his program, or you're for waste and inefficiency. This is a logical fallacy called the Loaded Question, and the standard example given is "Have you stopped beating your wife? Yes or no." Whichever answer you give, you lose.
This mailing is a campaign advertisement, and nothing more.
But... but wait. There, in small letters, italicized and light blue against a dark blue background (rather than standard and bold white type against the dark blue like everything else), it says:
This mailing was prepared, published and mailed at taxpayer expense.
Oh, really?
Using my tax dollars to campaign? Fuck that, and fuck you, Mr. Meehan.
This has me so pissed off that I almost forgot to mention what I was originally going to talk about: the idea of a Balanced Budget Amendment. I'm going to do so via analogy.
What would something akin to a balanced budget amendment mean as applied to your average family?
It would mean that it would be illegal for you to maintain a credit card balance. It would be illegal for you to get a mortgage. It would be illegal for you to get a car loan. It would be illegal for you to get any sort of loan at all in excess of what you can and do pay off immediately, for any reason whatsoever. And if you need a place to live, or a car, or an emergency surgery, you get it with the money you have on hand, now, or you put it off until you can save up enough money.
What would something akin to a balanced budget amendment mean as applied to your average business? It means you don't start your business until you've saved up enough to pay for it all. It would be illegal to get a loan to take your business to the next level. It means it would be illegal to buy a property, or the equipment needed to run your business, unless you can pay for it in full. It means that you never take a loan to get through a lean month, or to prepare for a busy xmas season.
If you took the idea of a balanced budget amendment and apply it to people and businesses, you'd have a lot of wrecked businesses, and a lot of impoverished people (or, if they needed medical help, dead people).
Why would anyone, especially the folks who think that government should be run more like a business, think that a balanced budget amendment is a good idea? It would cripple our government and destroy our national infrastructure, leaving infrastructure and pretty much everything else entirely in the hands of the people who can buy it. (Hmmm.)
I'm not saying that unrestrained spending and debt is a good thing. But you need to borrow when things are tight, to get through a bad turn, to get to where you need to be to succeed, and you need to pay the debt down when you're flush. As a country, we've only done one of those. When we're flush, instead of using the excess money to build a reserve and pay down debt, we've given to the wealthy.
A balanced budget amendment doesn't fix that. So it doesn't fix anything.

Plum Harvest
The first batch has been cooked down for juice for jelly. This takes more plums for fewer jars. Because the mirabelles are on the way! We have already laid the tarp, but please, no shaking yet! I don't have a professional kitchen, and there are books to be read and writing to be done!
However, a nice bread-and-butter plum pudding is waiting for the coffee break.
Warmed up with crème fraîche!

Norman Mussels
- Fry in butter: onion, leek, carrot and garlic until golden.
- Add half a bottle of cider. Bring to a rolling boil.
- Add the mussels. Cover and cook for about 10 minutes until they have opened.
- Serve in a soup plate with the sauce. Stir in some crème fraîche.
- Mop up the juice with coarse brown bread.
- Serve a large salad afterwards on a clean plate.
We concluded the meal with home-made strawberry sorbet ice cream.
A feast!

Catching Mice
Every time we come here we borrow one of Bernard's cats. She is completely used to travelling in an old pick nick basket, and upon arrival she will immediately claim her spots on the sofa and the beds.
Originally the purpose of this arrangement was for her to catch mice, but she does not quite keep her end of the bargain. She prefers to be stroked and to purr and to contemplate the world from her various view points in the garden.
However, I am not totally fair to her. She does catch mice, with gusto even; but not in the house. No, ma'am! If the doctor told me to get more exercise and I had the choice between running on a treadmill in the gym and a walk in the woods, wouldn't I prefer the woods?
So now and then she will go out for a nice juicy bit of field mouse, sometimes accompanied by some veggies in the form of grass sprigs that are sticking sideways out of her mouth.
Hmm! Yummy!

Monsieur Cinquantes Centimètres
I wonder what has happened to Monsieur Cinquantes Centimètres and his wife. He acquired his name when P. and Bernard were building the fencing around our property. He came out to look, as he always does whenever there is activity in the neighbourhood, and he claimed that the pickets should be hammered in 50 centimetres from his boundary, as he was entitled to that extra land. It might be true, and it wouldn't make any difference where P. struck his pickets, but le Belhomme (his name!) couldn't see that. Bernard shrugged, P. chatted some more amiably, and they complied.
We watch their inactivity from day to day, of Monsieur Cinquantes Centimètres and his wife. They now live there permanently, but no improvements are made to the cottage, in spite of all the great plans that have been divulged to P., who is much better at socialising than I am. They stay hidden in their house, and only come out to shop and to complain to the anyone who will hear it about the government, and all other ill-doers.
We had gotten used to the bickering between them, especially at nightfall, when it had been enforced by wine consumption. Her insistent nagging voice and then his: low and defensive; the slamming of their screen door, the shouting ringing up the hill: they had become familiar disturbances of a peaceful evening.
But now they are so quiet. They are there, but the door doesn't bang, and we don't hear their voices wailing through the night. Are they sick? Have they become teetotallers? Or have they seen the light? P. saw them walking up the lane hand in hand. Have they fallen in love again? What has happened to them?

Summer Fruit Ice Cream
Add 1 to 2 tbs sugar
Lemon juice,
As much fromage blanc or other dairy as you think fit.
Mix all together and test for taste.
Pour into a turning ice machine;
25 to 45 minutes later you have divine ice cream!
You might try the more rustic method of a tray in the feezer that needs to be stirred every half hour with a fork. But as we have the machine I cannot tell you how it will turn out. You may have some ice cristals, but who cares? I'm sure it will still taste divine!

The Market at St. Pierre sur Dives
Every Monday morning there is a huge market at St Pierre sur Dives in and around the medieval market hall. I bet that market has been there ever since time immemorial. The country folk visit it from far and wide, and it is absolutely worth it.
The variety of stalls is not enormous but the number is. For local products it is a Mekka: produce; plants; cheeses; honey; livestock like rabbits, chickens, geese, guinea fowl etc.; cider and calvados bien sûr! But other essentials are sold as well: bras, bags, shoes, hats, beds and matrasses, plastic tablecloths, baskets, sewing equipment.
Although there are tourists in the summer, mainly British, it is truly still a market for the locals and they are as much worth the visit as the products.
Plastic surgery has not reached these regions yet, and the ruddy faces, the warts, etc. have not been taken care of. People are what they are, and that is that.
What they are is as varied as anywhere else: the fishmonger with his enormous grey moustache and loud voice, the olive merchant whose piercing black eyes and smooth talk charms you into buying more than you had intended.
But the organic greengrocer tops it all. He chats amiably with you while you are selecting this and that, discussing the quality of the peas and football, and in the meantime he is doing his reckoning. At the end of the conversation your purchases are in your basket and he gives you the sum total of them.
This man is a walking calculator!

Pommes de Terre à la Matelote
Slice washed (and peeled) potatoes in not too thin slices.
Mix with finely chopped shallots and lots of fresh parsley.
Into cookpot and cover with water, but they don't have to swim.
Cook on a rather high heat for about half an hour.
Take off the lid to reduce the "sauce".
Season with salt and pepper.
The next day turn the left-overs into a greased baking dish.
Mix in some crème fraîche.
Cover with bread crumbs and with butter dots.
Bake in 175 oven until golden.
This is even better!

They say writing is not a matter of inspiration but of hard work.
Of course I wouldn't dare to disagree. And it is true: writing involves a lot of hours of serious labour, formulating, developing plot, finding consistency in the story line. So truly 90% of it makes it a desk job. However, all that effort cannot avoid moments of frustration, of being stuck. You can mull over your problems as much as you like, but the desk will not provide the answer.
Now that one of my novels is getting published I have rekindled revising an old one that was lying idly on a shelf. It wasn't going very well. It didn't sit right. I didn't see the plot. What was the story I really wanted to tell? I fiddled around with it, I gave bits of it to read to my writers group, but the answer wouldn't come.
Yesterday I got fed up with the tasks around the house: the planting and the weeding, even with reading the newspaper. So I took the dog and went for a spin "around the block", which is a 45 minute walk up the hill, past the farm and down the undulating lane back to the house.
And then it came, the inspiration. I realised that the main character is really getting crazy, and I knew why. I began to see how it would work, how it would be the focus around which the story could develop.
I hopped home and told P. about it. That I would feel the incentive to write again, that I would know where to go from now on.
And that, that is inspiration indeed!

We also want to plant new things. Therefore we went to St. Pierre on Monday to buy lettuce and tomato plants, petunias for the borders and flowers for the window boxes: impatiens for the North windows, and verbena for the south facing windows.
P. started mowing the grass and clearing part of the field for the new vegetable plot and I attacked the compost heap. After some digging I found the right stuff, and I removed plants that had decided that there was no better place to be than the pantry!
These plants turned out to be potato plants, probably sprouted from spuds that had been cleared away before our departure. Already a few new potatoes were forming, and I decided to give them a chance in P.'s newly created plot.
No idea how they will survive the transplant, but worth a try!

Done in a jiffy and delicious!

Dance on the Village Square
We went on a outing with the 2CV club and part of it was at a village festival which featured an afternoon ball. When we arrived the party was in full swing. I don't know if the inmates of the neighbouring asylum had been invited, or if these were just locals.
It was moving to see their enthousiasm. If only we city folks would deal with our lunatics that way!

Reading Mass
When P. met the mayor in town last Saturday, he invited us to attend mass at six o'clock that evening. We like to see how the community lives, so we went. Mass is read only once a year in our village church, a beautifully small and intimate building of the Romance period, bordering on Gothic, judging from the slightly pointed windows. We were greeted by the mayor at the gate, chatted a bit and went inside, where it was cool after the warm evening. We sat in one of the old pews, and were soon greeted by a lady, who said she recognised us from other events and who asked us if we would like to read the reading.
Read the reading? It seemed convenient for us, non-Catholics, to have a text to read along, but we didn't want to inconvenience the lady. However, it seems she wanted to be inconvenienced, for soon she came with a friend and a slip of paper, and asked us to move more forward for us better to see. We obliged and there followed instructions about the text, but it seemed complicated, so I promised to follow the congregation, and we would be fine.
And so we were: fine. There was singing, and prayers and a few ladies read from a folder. We could follow everything nicely, and dutifully rose and sat down with everyone else. Then I discovered the priest started to read his part form the paper I had been given. O, excellent, we were there now. Then the priest stopped and one of the ladies nodded vehemently and insistently towards me. So that was the meaning of reading the reading: reading aloud!
I stifled a giggle and began, faltering, but doing the best I could. I pride myself in having a good reading voice, so I should be alright. Soon it was over, and the priest did his bit again.
But no, I was to read all four parts that were on the paper, so I braced myself and did. I can't remember what I read, but it didn't matter. I suppose we should be honoured that we were asked. And everyone else seemed to think it was perfectly normal!

Bell Pepper Tart
Thinly slice 2 red onions and 3 differently couloured bell peppers. Go into the garden and cut fresh thyme, just the tips to encourage further growth. Roll out ready-made puff pastry, either on a baking sheet or in a mold. Rub with a little olive oil and prick with a fork. Turn the vegetables -- well mixed with the thyme-- onto the pastry. Sprinkle with sea salt, olive oil and freshly grated black pepper.
Bake in the oven at 200 degrees. I stirred the peppers with a fork halfway through to avoid too much blakening. It will occur, but that improves the taste. It's ready when the pastry looks crisp and brown and the peppers limp and caramalised.
Serve with a green salad. Yummie!

How to Create a Romantic Centerpiece
A few weeks ago my neighbor asked me to help her create some romantic centerpieces for a wedding shower she was throwing. The color scheme for the shower was pale pink, cream and gold, and I love our final product! Doesn't it just look so bridal?
Floral Buying Guide:
So to recreate these arrangements, I used:
- Two white hydrangeas – $4
- Six pink roses – $3.50
- Six cream roses – $3.50
- Four stems of pink spray roses – $2.00
- A small bunch of Seeded Eucalyptus – $2.00
The total for the flowers was about $15 per centerpiece, so not too bad!
I have a video below with step-by-step instructions of how I put it together. (Until my mom rang the doorbell, but you should get the basic idea. Haaaa!)
To start, I used eucalyptus and greened the vase, then added my two hydrangeas. I filled in next with the pale pink roses and placed them in the four "corners" of the hydrangea and then placed another pink roses in the center/top. I then went through and anyplace it was white, added the four pink spray roses, so basically in between the two pink roses. I finished it off with adding the white roses in throughout the arrangement wherever it had a hole or needed a little more texture.
I did a total of ten arrangements and she placed them down the table and filled in with the extra greenery as though it was a table runner, which is a great way to use the leftovers! I think this would also make a perfect Valentine's party centerpiece as well!
Please let me know if you have any questions! I am always happy to help! You can find my other flower ideas here or see a whole archive of projects on my Instagram or follow me on Facebook here!

The restriction on Leeuwenhoek microscope is based on the potency of a convex lens used. To overcome it, the additional lens that's put exactly before the eyes of audience needs to be properly used.
Even the excess lens is known as the eyepiece, or so the thing of this lens might be expanded again employing this instant lens. From the next creation, the exact distance regulator between the 2 lenses is put into sharpening the attention.
A mirror or alternative light sources, thing fences that are often transferred, and a lot of others may also be included. Modern lighting microscope may offer magnification up to 1, 000 days and permit your eye to become in a position to tell apart two objects which have space approximately 0.0002 mm.
It's understood that a wholesome human eye has an answer capacity roughly 0.2 mm. From the next development, it's understood that the capability of a convex lens to present top res has now reached the limitation even though high quality and amount of lenses has already been improved.
Later, it's understood that the wavelength of this source of light is employed for light at an increased settlement capacity. Additionally, it's understood that resolution power may not be shorter compared to the wavelength of light that's used for monitoring. Using light with shorter wavelengths, such as blue or black ultraviolet rays will give just a tiny progress. Petroleum), the settlement can be raised around 100 nanometers.

The Power of Shareable Brand Experiences
10/04/2017 02:56 pm ET
If you had to pinpoint a specific place in time, the first seminal moment in brand experience likely came in 1998 with the publication of The Experience Economy by B. Joseph Pine and James H. Gilmore. The book was one of the industry's most influential, predicting a new economic era in which all businesses would be compelled to orchestrate memorable events for their customers. Conceptually, it was fueled by what was seen as a shift in our definition of self: from "relationship to things" to "relationship to experiences." Even before that, the 60s and 70s in retail represented a breakthrough as individual expressive brands like The Gap and Urban Outfitters presented a world of colliding ideas with experiences that emanated out of their retail spaces, creating new destinations for younger, engaged shoppers.
However, even with this noted potential, experience as a differentiator saw a glacial pace of growth and in many ways has continued to suffer its own global warming effect with many brands leaving the discipline as quickly as they arrive. Only very recently has experience retaken the mainstage, partially driven by social media and its ability to turn brand experiences into marketing moments.
At their best, experiences designed and built to inspire participation and social sharing can be invaluable platforms for deep consumer engagement with brands.
Today, we are seeing a change as brands start to understand the value of an experience well beyond the immediacy of sales. They are also realizing how the moments these experiences create become powerful brand building tools on platforms like Instagram. Architecting an experience, whether in retail or on the street activations, puts social amplification at the center of the experience. With the right experience, consumers will happily do the brand's advertising for them, on social media and beyond.

Prime Minister Theresa May has confirmed the UK will exit the single market and the customs union when it leaves the European Union. May has promised to trigger the Article 50 exit procedure by the end of March. She is aiming to negotiate a new free trade agreement with the EU over the two-year exit period and was open to the idea of a transitional agreement beyond 2019.
Most Ucits funds are set up in Luxembourg or Dublin and can be passported around the EU with management delegated to London. Lawyers expect that to continue when the UK leaves the EU.
Most UK hedge funds use a Cayman AIF, which are allowed to market into the single market using private placements and is being assessed for a fund passport.
UK managers will need to ensure they are using AIFs registered in jurisdictions where they can market into the single market.
"If you have a branch of your London business into European then you would need to re-authorise it as a locally regulated business," says Peter Astleford, partner at Dechert. "If you have no branch then you may, for safety, want to create a locally regulated business in order to preserve flexibility."
Leaving the single market means the end of free movement of people into the UK from other member states.
Hedge funds have expressed uncertainty over the status of existing EU staff and future recruitment of talent from within the EU.
The government has given little indication of what deal it is aiming for on immigration although Chancellor Philip Hammond has floated the idea of carving out financial services staff.
"There has never been a backlash against high-skilled immigration in the UK," said Astleford. "If you are French or German then you may be a little bit worried about but that temporary concern will soon disappear."
What does leaving the single market mean for hedge funds?

Day 10 - Geometric. I knew what I wanted to do. I even knew the colors I wanted. Dark plum, tan and "army" green. I was inspired by Jen at The Nail Polish Project HERE. Well, only go there if you want to realize how big my fail was. This is what I ended up with.
If you think this is bad, wait till you see how well I rescued the earlier version. By the time I got to this point, I gave up on the stamping part. Let me show where it all fell apart. Started with two coats of London Butter All Hail the Queen. Good at this point, in fact beautiful.

Looks fine, right? Genius way to get around not having striping tape, right? And then I removed the scotch tape. This is what I was left with.
Total disaster! Apparently I did not give the polish enough time to dry and the tape peeled off large chunks, as you can plainly see. So I did what I could to salvage it. After letting the middle portion dry, I filed the damaged portions smooth and freehand repainted. Then I cleaned up the lines as best I could with acetone, threw on some topcoat and gave up on the idea of stamping. Final look.
Not too bad a final look for what was a total fail, but I'm still not happy with it. Got to invest in striping tape or develop more patience. Oh well, we all have bad polish days. Tomorrow will be better, I promise! In the meantime, go check out some not failed geometric manis.

This morning I gave 2 presentations to groups of children at my kids' primary school. I spoke to Year 6s and the Yr4/5 class. It was an amazing experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Exhausting!
This week is Anti-Poverty Week and so I shared about life in the village of Yamen. They were fascinated by how different it was to our lives in Perth and I hope they realised how fortunate they are. I think they did. They even recognised the importance of education and how the children in the village, by not having an education, were missing out on many things and opportunities.
The kids made up some Birthing Kits and included a little note with a drawing or motive on it to make it more personal. They seemed to really enjoy doing that. I have also asked them to design and draw a health campaign poster highlighting a specific health message such as preventing malaria, washing hands after the toilet and before preparing and eating food. This will be a project they continue to work on in class and I will choose the best ones (ie those that tell the message the clearest) and then take them to the village on my next trip.
One of the teachers is organising for the class to fast during one of the school days and then donate the money that their food would have cost, towards postage for the birthing kits. Isn't that great! I'm so excited about these kids being involved in this project. It will make a difference for the health of the mothers and babies in the villages, but also make a difference for them too as they realise how blessed they are.
Last night I gave a similar talk to a group of cub scouts. The theme was adventure and I described my trip as an adventure. I specifically wanted to share about moving out of your comfort zone and the kids really identified with this concept. They didn't giggle when I told them how I cried when I realised where I was for the first night, they really listened and I could sense they knew what I meant. I hope I've inspired these boys to move into a 'discomfort zone' and learn more about themselves in the process.

The auto recycling industry is an important piece in building a greener earth. When buying used auto parts, it reduces the need to manufacture them, thereby reducing our carbon footprint and greenhouse emissions.
Recycled steel uses less energy to take back to a useable product than to produce new. This results in more energy savings, less air pollution, water pollution, and water consumption.
Steel recycling comes full circle and is probably the only industry where even the equipment used to produce the product will be recycled. Unlike many other materials, steel can be recycled over and over, with no loss of quality.
Your vehicle is likely the most recyclable product you own. Almost every component can be removed and sold. The hulk of the vehicle that is remaining can then be sent out to a steel mill where it is shredded and converted into reusable material.
At Used Car Part Perth, we dismantle all makes and models of vehicles. If we don't have the parts in stock, we can order it in from our Australia-wide network of suppliers. We carry all parts for vehicles — including engines, transmissions (both automatic and manual gearboxes), body panels, doors, bumpers, seats, differentials, catalytic converters, mirrors, head tail lights, airbags, and starter motors..

Health Benefits of Avocados
Over the years, we have learned exactly why it is important to stay healthy. Of course, this means that we should be eating a healthy diet as well as partaking in regular exercise. As a result, we have seen the rise of many different varieties of fruit and vegetables but perhaps none more so than the avocado. Today, we are going to dig underneath the surface and look at the many health benefits of this great fruit.
Cardio Health
- First and foremost, avocado can be used to reduce the risk of coronary heart disease - to this day, this is still the biggest killer in both the US and the UK. Ultimately, it is the unhealthy fats that contribute to this but avocado contains monounsaturated oleic acid which, research has now shown, reduces the level of dangerous LDL cholesterol. What's more, it even increases the 'good' HDL cholesterol.
- On the whole, avocados are packed with goodies and can contain up to 20 individual minerals and vitamins. In one single serving, avocados can provide the following amounts of one's RDA within these nutrients; 26% of Vitamin K, 20% of Folate, 17% of Vitamin C, 14% of Vitamins B5 and B6, and 14% of Potassium. Considering this is one single serving, this is a significant amount. In fact, they contain more potassium than bananas!
- As we know, fiber is important within a balanced diet because it can lower the risk of many health problems, lower blood sugar spikes, and help with weight loss. Containing both soluble and insoluble fiber, avocado will help to keep your gut healthy both now and in the future.
Healthy Fats
- Whenever we see the word 'fat' these days, we instantly start to panic but you should know that there are such things as 'healthy fats'. So far, we have mentioned the sheer amount of nutrients within an avocado but this is useless if we cannot absorb them in the body. According to a recent study, the addition of avocados or even just avocado oil in a diet can increase the body's ability to absorb nutrients dramatically. Therefore it has a double-effect because it provides the nutrients as well as the tools we need to absorb them. Ultimately, this is why we need healthy fats in our diet.
- Although these are the main benefits, there are also some smaller facts to consider such as the antioxidants they hold. In avocados, you will find Zeaxanthin and Lutein which are both incredibly useful for our eyesight. When our bodies have these antioxidants in ample supply, the risk of cataracts reduces as well as macular degeneration.
Prevention of Cancer
- Whenever these three words are uttered, it can bring skepticism and we also have to be careful with the statements we make but there is a proven prevention of prostate cancer cell growth with avocados. Furthermore, they can also reduce the side effects seen during chemotherapy and other radiation treatments. Of course, we should note that the studies on this were completed on isolated cells so the results could be different for a living person but the signs are positive at least.
Overall Health
- To finish, we should point out that those who eat avocados are generally much healthier than those who do not. Not only did they have a higher intake of nutrients, they generally weighed less, had more HDL cholesterol, and a lower BMI. Again, we cannot say for certain that the two are linked but there is tremendous evidence to suggest that it is more than just a coincidence!

Home decorating and design magazines are a great source of ideas and advice, but if you'd like a free supply of information, you have come to the suitable place! FYI, my expertise means that consumers want to have the ability to use their bank cards immediately slightly than go through PayPal, which implies setting up a service provider account and internet hosting with your personal web site. Well-placed photographs and movies can enhance the look, feel and functionality of a web site. As the agreements exist already in your use of images in your website, I cannot change the contracts you signed, however it is something it's essential to examine next time you organise for images to be taken for your web site. I really feel the necessity to a website so you'll be able to have management of earning cash in a manner.
Although the web site owner could make updates periodically, it's a manual process to edit the textual content, images and other content material and may require basic web site design skills and software. They're changing up the social community panorama by shifting it from a profitable enterprise for the website owners to a worthwhile enterprise for the customers. The downside is, as scout leaders, we do not have a lot of money to spend on a website, as we'd relatively spend it on the children, and holding an internet site up shouldn't be one thing easily finished. NOTE: Cats who have been vaccinated in opposition to FIV will take a look at constructive for FIV antibodies.
Look around and you will find that most of the social media and networking websites now offers greater than just one way to incorporate your content to your weblog or your web site.
