A word from Canoe Restaurant and Bar
Critically acclaimed to be among Canada's best restaurants, Canoe's unique location high atop the TD Bank Tower affords a breathtaking view of the city and Lake Ontario. The design, originally conceptualized by noted designers Yabu Pushelberg and most recently refreshed by Anacleto Design, is clean and simple, yet absolutely stylish - a brilliant reflection of Canada's rich raw environment. That same brilliance is captured through the flavours and textures of Chef John Horne's inspired regional Canadian cuisine. The menu showcases the freshest and finest Canadian fish, game and produce, as well as an outstanding selection of Canadian vintages. "All that is Canadian defines Canoe." Florence Fabricant, The New York TimesContinued

- ExcellenceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014The title says it all. From the warm greeters at the entrance to the care taken by the table bussers. The service, atmosphere, food, and amazing view from the 54th floor, make the Canoe an experience I will never forget. The attention by all the staff including a table-side stop by the manager to check up on our evening made such an impression. My fiancee and I like to take our time and enjoy our appetizers, and as soon as we'd finished the plates disappeared and our main courses arrived, without any prompting or visible checking by the staff. The quality of the food and the art in the combination of flavors that was achieved is truly next level. I cant wait for our next occasion to go back.Special Features:
- Amazing experienceLittleTDined on 9/19/2014We have eaten at a lot of fantastic restaurants and this is definitely on the top of the list. The views are spectacular, the service was top notch and every course was delicious. The chef is very creative.Special Features:
- Excellent!KurtDined on 9/19/2014Truly exceptional service by our waiter, Adam, even though we showed up a half-hour late. We had the tasting menu and they made special dishes for the two vegetarians in our group who also have a couple of allergies. All the food was off-the-charts delicious and the wine pairings they provided were just right. The pacing of the meal was also terrific.Special Features:
- Really good!!KathyDined on 9/18/2014The food is amazing, the view so beautiful! We had a really great service, everyone was so nice to us! Can't wait to come back in Toronto to go there!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/18/2014From the view, to the service, to the food - it was spectacular!!!! Can't wait to go back. Amazing.Special Features:
- The food looked and tasted great!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 9/17/2014I love my food. It's great to enjoy an appetizer, main and desert in the same sitting. The quality, look, smell and taste of the food was phenomenal. Hats of to the chef and kitchen staff. To be honest, when I received my plates, it looked so visually appealing, I didn't want to eat it. All I can say is "I will be coming back, WOW".Special Features:
- Night to RememberWillBeBackDined on 9/15/2014I celebrated my anniversary at Canoe restaurant, and I couldn't be more satisfied. I made a special request to have a window seat for the occasion. Not only did they fulfill my request, several servers come to wish us a happy anniversary!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- SpectaculargtmoDined on 9/12/2014Our visit to the Canoe was absolutely phenomenal. We thoroughly enjoyed the taste of ontario tastings menu, and the view was breathtaking! The serving staff were extremely friendly, and even accommodated a couple special requests! We will be back soon :)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great place, good food.littlechickgroupDined on 9/10/2014Very nice place, with view of downtown Toronto. Food and service are excellent. Enjoy very much.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food, aloof serviceTinoDined on 9/8/2014I've been to Canoe many times and the food is always terrific. It was a special occaision and the pastry chef did not dissappoint. The waiter was not as attentive as he could have been, didn't even introduce himself. I felt like we were a burden. At one point I had to serve myself our wine which isn't a big deal but it just didn't seem right. Once dinner was over and the dessert was brought over it he didn't offer us tea or coffee it seemed like he couldn't get rid of us soon enough. When it came to pay he processed our $100 gift card first then our Credit card for the balance, he made sure to point out the CC total did not include the gift card (to make sure he got his total tip I imagine). Bottom line: could have been a better experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very good food but to loud to relaxluv2havefunDined on 9/8/2014Very good food but people were very loud because of Kitchen noise was so much. There should be some separation from the kitchen area to seating area. It felt like you are eating in the kitchen.Special Features:
- Paddle your own CanoeCanoeDined on 9/5/2014Went there for my 32nd birthday. Worth every penny. As the evening became night, a storm rolled in. Lightning struck the CN Tower several times in a flash of white brilliance. It was an unbelievable sight to see at that level. An awesome light show, just for me. I will never forget that.Special Features:
- Worth it!xenawarrioreaterDined on 9/5/2014I took my Mother out for her birthday at Canoe the other day. My friend who had wonderful taste said it was his favorite restaurant in Toronto. I reserved in advance and mentioned it was her birthday and asked for a special table if possible. We arrived and right away the pleasant maitre d' said happy birthday to her. Great start to an amazing time. Wish I could write more here but can't so will just say that every morsel was delicious. Some good, but more great, and a few even divine. And dear Lord those truffles! The view was spectacular, and the wait staff was perfect. We saw the lights come on in the city and then a glorious storm came in for dinner entertainment. Worth every penny! Thank you Canoe for a memorable evening!Special Features:
- First TimeFood4EverDined on 9/5/2014As a family, we wanted to celebrate several 'new beginnings' ... school, dance studio, job. This was our first time at Canoe and also the first time taking our daughters (age 12 and 13) somewhere really extravagant. The dinner was a hit for all ... from presentation, service, and taste :) The only challenge ... Canoe has set the bar very high for my girls. Thanks for a wonderful first experience.Special Features:
- great mealChrisK9Dined on 9/5/2014The view was amazing, the service is unbelievable. Everyone there was kind explained each dish they serve you and we're always checking on us to see if we were alright. It is a pricey place 2 main course and a few drinks was about 200, so not somewhere I would go weekly but for a special occasion I would definitely go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Exceptional experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 9/4/2014We couldn't have picked a better spot to celebrate the end of my husband's PhD. Food, service, view, everything was impeccable!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/29/2014We had a delicious meal. However, the ambiance was not good. There was loud, bland, techno music playing throughout the meal, and the tables are so big that you have to shout to have a conversation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent RestaurantjosuetovarDined on 8/27/2014Great place for special occasions! Totally recommended.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Fantastic as alwayssci06Dined on 8/27/2014Went for our anniversary and treated ourselves to the tasting menu - it definitely did not disappoint. Exquisite food that you just cannot find elsewhere. The Wild Rabbit Agnolotti was a clear high point - I could eat that every night. Looking forward to being able to go back already!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Lovely experienceSnailButtyDined on 8/27/2014My partner and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at Canoe. The view was gorgeous, the food was presented in a beautiful way and was tasty, and the service was great - we felt like 5 people were serving us at once without 'hovering' over us. Would certainly return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the best choices in TorontojfcBIDined on 8/26/2014We went to Canoe for a wedding anniversary. Our experience was superb. The staff was very professional - they were friendly but not egregiously so, and helpful. The views are wonderful (ask for a south-facing table) - it is on the 54th floor. The food was superb - the Quebec foie gras, St. Canut Pork and the Tea Smoke Duck were excellent. The wine list is a bit limited but workable. It is not a cozy restaurant as the main feature of the restaurant's design consists of windows overlooking the city and lake - but there is pleasant feel to it. Special occasions or simply an excellent meal - Canoe is a very good choice.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice but too noisieLuv2eatVIPDined on 8/26/2014The food and service was great as usual....but too many people with cameras taking pictures overhead while we ate. Noise level was very high and kids running around...did not make for a romantic dinner out!Special Features:
- WOW What a Viewnana63Dined on 8/26/2014From the moment we stepped off the elevator our visit at the Canoe Restaurant and Bar was wonderful. We were cheerfully greeted, wine, food and service..... we couldn't ask for better and that breath taking view WOW. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Toronto. We'll be going back!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Amazing!OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/22/2014We came for our 5 year wedding anniversary and everything was perfection. Our server/bar tender couldn't have been more lovely. Everything was perfect. Even the entire management staff check in and helped us celebrate our special eve. Canoe is the best and I highly recommend it and will be back to celebrate many more occasions.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 8/21/2014A fine lunch with the best view in Toronto. Oysters to start, liver and onions, and a shared dessert. All very well done and served nicely in the lunch hour rush. But at $150--with 2 glasses of wine--a bit overpriced even for high-end restos.I would recommend this to a friend.
- One of the best spots aroundAres0324Dined on 8/20/2014One of the best views of the city combined with outstanding service and topped off with a perfect meal. Add in a surprise of fresh on site baked gluten free corn bread insured everyone was taken care of. Would recommend to everyone for a casual lunch or special event.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great for a romantic dinnerAwesomDined on 8/19/2014I found the food to be pretty amazing. What impressed me more, though, was the quality of service. The staff are very friendly and very helpful. They are there to answer all of your questions and check up on you quite often. They are also pretty friendly and start up casual conversation when you're alone at the table, waiting for your partner to come back from the restroom.Special Features:
- Great view, food less soFortheloveoffoodDined on 8/19/2014When I read online how Canoe advertises itself with not only the fabulous views but also fabulous food, my expectations were high. They were obviously too high with respect to the food. The BC oysters were "off" (the PEI ones were great). The lamb ribs were tough with virtually no meat on the bone; basically, the sauce was all you could eat. However, there were some redeeming qualities: the sword fish special with its accoutrements was very good (but even when something is seared rare, it should still arrive at my plate hot - not lukewarm); the desserts were a symphony of flavours; and the wine was amazing. Our server was excellent and so were the views.Special Features:
- DisappointedMrPigDined on 8/18/2014Most disappointing visit. Low-light: Oysters served on a bed of melted ice. Shucked oyster slid off shell into water when served. 3/6 oysters had chipped shells in them. Halibut was very fishy. High-light: Duck was wonderful.Special Features:
- Great celebration!!!DineRightDined on 8/18/2014My wife and I celebrated our 40th Anniversary. We started with the amazing seafood platter. We enjoyed lamb and beef as our main courses, followed by desserts and coffees. The food was beautifully plated, and equally delicious. The waiter was very personable, as well as helpful in offering suggestions for drinks, and answering questions. The view of the lake and the city was incredible! What a wonderful celebration! Thanks Canoe!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Spectacular viewlove4foodVIPDined on 8/15/2014Wonderful evening, Just being able to look out SPECTACULAR, The food was very good and delicious, attentive and helpful service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Guaranteed good food and serviceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/15/2014I went for a friend's graduation/birthday and this was the perfect restaurant. If you're celebrating a special occasion, there are few restaurants in Toronto that are this special! Spectacular view, highly intelligent food and warm, attentive and knowledgeable staff. Our server Jeremy was amazing, he met the unbelievably high expectations we had when going in to this restaurant. Obviously, the food was outstanding and the tasting dinner was a wonderful experience that some of my guests haven't had before. Yes, the bill was substantial at the end of the night, but for a special occasion, it was worth every penny!Special Features:
- WonderfulBandCfoodiecplDined on 8/15/2014Great wine list, fantastic service - and unbeatable views.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great time year after yearOpenTable Diner Since 2010VIPDined on 8/15/2014My husband and I dine at Canoe every summer when we come up to Toronto. The food, service and ambience are always fantastic!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great food!HebaDined on 8/15/2014Great food and amazing atmosphere! The Chef made sure halal meat was available when we requested it and made us a special dish when we requested the halal lamb.Special Features:
- EnjoyableJohnDoeDined on 8/14/2014On top of TD tower, and that is all that it is to it. Not much of a view. Very busy, tables to close. Toula was betterSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- anniverseryRAN1Dined on 8/14/2014Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the very nice greeting as it was our anniversary but being stuck at the bar for 30-45 min waiting for our table when reservation were made was a little disorganized. Overall they try to make u feel welcome and try to accommodate all wishes.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Innovative, refreshing great viewDanielDined on 8/14/2014We had dinner at Canoe for our anniversary and had a wonderful, unforgettable experience. The menu has a limited number of items, but very interesting choices, highlighting fresh, canadian products. The way they are prepared is quite innovative ( e.g. The foie gras, the lamb ) in terms of flavour combination and superbly done. Service is outstanding waiters and someliers are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable (one exception was the server who brought us our cheese plate, but did not know anything about the cheeses on the plate).Special Features:
- ChazVIPDined on 8/13/2014This is an extraordinary restaurant with a fresh take on each dish and each ingredient. Breathtakingly expensive, even for a New Yorker----especially the wines. This is a personal reaction----it's not relaxing. The vibe seemed tense. I'm sure others will disagree but that was my feeling. It is however quite an experience to eat there.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Apologies for a completely non photography related question but I was hoping I could count on the wealth of information available from Ephotozine members.
Carpet cleaners!! Having just decorated, I'm keen to get my carpets cleaned. My first thought was to get a quote for getting them cleaned, until it was suggested to me about hiring one and doing it myself. I'm more than happy to do them myself, in fact, I would probably prefer to as long as I'm able to do a good job.
A Google search revealed a couple of options; HSS Hire for about £18.50 (inc vat) for a days hire and this option RugDoctor for about £22.50 for a day and available from many local outlets.
My question is; Has anyone hired a carpet cleaner? Is it possible to get excellent results, preferably as good as having them done professionally? Anyone specifically used the machines from the companies above? Any tips, advice and pit falls to watch out for.
Thank you.

or Poundland.
I bought a heavy duty Vax carpet shampooer from TJ Hughes online for £99 and get my liquid from Poundland.
The one that Poundland sell is 1001 3 in 1 for machine cleaners. If you get the normal 1001 it makes too much lather.
I've got one reserved with HSS now. They seemed to be the most competitively priced and the detergent isn't overly expensive either and most importantly they're supposed to do a pretty good job.
Thanks to all for your help.

1 cup
cottage cheese
1/3 cup
all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons
vegetable oil
eggs, lightly beaten
cooking spray
This recipe actually turned out really good. It does sound odd but it tasted really good with a few changes: 1) I used my food processor for the cottage cheese because I prefer without the lumps. 2) I added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. 3) Used whole wheat flour instead of white. 4) I also added 1/2 tsp of baking powder. I didn't use any sugar because with the maple syrup was enought for my taste. It's a great breakfast with a great source of protein and no fat, if you use fat free cottage cheese. Thanks for the recipe Jennifer, I will definitely make it again!
I will never make this again.

I've been making these for years using 1/4 cup whole wheat flour instead of the 1/3 cup white. Everyone is surprised that they taste so good, even those who hate cottage cheese! Great plain or with a bit of orange marmalade or jam. My only indulgence is to butter the griddle a teeny bit. Delicious!
I made these for my family yesterday...my kids are usually pretty picky, but even they said these pancakes were great!! I like the recipe because it's so easy, and it packs a lot of protein into pancakes. I'm always looking for fun, new pancake and waffle recipes, and I'll definitely be using this one again.
Very tender and delicious. I used an immersion blender to smooth the cottage cheese before mixing in the other ingredients. I used whole wheat flour instead of white, added a pinch of salt and a bit of vanilla. A nice, healthy breakfast option.
These really taste like a cheese blintz without any of the fuss. I absolutely loved this recipe. They are delicious eaten plain, but any fruit compote, jelly, jam, or syrup would be inspiring. I added a pinch of salt to make sure the flavour wasn't flat. And you could easily turn these into a desert pastry by adding a small amount of sugar to the batter.
So fluffy and delicious. It's also high in protein and low in carbs. Next time I will substitute ground rolled oats for the flour.
This combination of ingredients gives a final texture similar to a quiche. Used 1 cup 1% cottage cheese, whole wheat flour, applesauce instead of oil, 4 eggs, 1/2 tsp baking powder, 1.5 tbsp honey. Blended everything in a blender to make a smooth batter. Transferred to a sprayed frying pan and topped with handful of blueberries. Baked in oven for 15 minutes at 375F. Turned out great!

Former Red Hold Chili Peppers guitarist John Frusciante and former Mars Volta multi-instrumentalist Omar Rodriguez-Lopez have joined forces to form a new band: Kimono Kult .
The group -- whose lineup also includes Le Butcherettes / Bosnian Rainbows singer Teri Gender Bender , Swahili Blonde drummer Nicole Turley , and Dante White and Laena Geronimo of Dante Vs. Zombies -- is ready to give us a taste of their first single, "Todo Menos El Dolor," which translates into English as "Everything, Anything but the Pain."
Gender Bender says she hopes the Spanish-language cut, currently streaming at RollingStone.com , will resonate with listeners and stoke the fires of their imaginations. "Spanish speaking or not, it goes way beyond language and [is] more about atmosphere," she tells Rolling Stone . "To me it could be a story about an alien that wanted to eat cats but it caused the critter so much pain [that] he became a vegetarian. Every interpretation is valid. "
Kimono Kult will release their debut EP , Hiding in the Light, on March 4.

Modesto Christian eventually was done in by several forfeits and a tough group of Patterson grapplers. The disparity between the teams' benches all but guaranteed a Tigers victory.
Patterson senior wrestler Joey Howard, who earned a pin against his Crusaders' opponent in the 145-pound weight class, said his team is obligated to remain focused regardless of who is on the mat.
"What we do inside the practice room will push each of us towards our goals," Howard said. "Everyone attends practice and works hard. We all want to do good this season and compete for a Western Athletic Conference championship."
No match personified that attitude more than the one between junior Jordan Canseco and his opponent from Modesto Christian, Christian Applegate.
The pair of 120-pounders started off Monday's dual meet with aggressive attacks on their feet and fierce grappling on the mat in a match that eventually culminated in a 19-6 decision for Canseco.
Solid performances were turned in by Tiger newcomers Austin Lewis (152 pounds) and Steven Pham (heavyweight).
Lewis, a sophomore, won a 12-5 decision over Modesto Christian's Matt Harper, while Pham, a sophomore, scored a pin in the opening ticks of the first period over Crusader Ilisaha Juvera.
The Tigers effectively began the dual meet ahead 36-0 before any grappling took place.

A biopsy is the only way to know for sure if you have cancer.
The most common way to take a biopsy of the prostate is by a core needle biopsy. Your doctor uses a transurethral ultrasound as a guide on where to take the biopsy. The biopsy is done by a doctor who specializes in problems in the urinary or genital tract, called a urologist.
Here's what to expect during a core needle biopsy. To take the biopsy, your doctor uses a tool called a transurethral ultrasound (TRUS). This is a tool that allows your doctor to see your prostate gland using special sound waves. If your doctor sees anything that looks unusual during the ultrasound, he or she can take a small piece of tissue called a biopsy.
Preparing for the biopsy. The week before your TRUS and biopsy, you may need to stop taking aspirin and other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen. They can increase your risk for bleeding during the procedure. You may also need an enema to clean out your rectum. You may be given antibiotics to take before the biopsy and possibly for a couple of days after to lower your risk for infection.
Where and how the biopsy is done. The ultrasound and biopsy can be done in your doctor's office. On the day of the test, you'll lie on your side with your legs tucked up toward your stomach. You won't need to be put to sleep. You will probably get medicine to numb the area around your anus. A doctor inserts a finger-sized probe (the TRUS) into your anus and rectum. The probe sends silent, painless sound waves to your prostate gland. The echoes of the waves bouncing off the prostate allow the doctor to see a picture of your prostate on a computer screen. The picture, called a sonogram, shows your doctor where to place the biopsy needles.
Your doctor will usually take about 12 biopsy samples. A small, fast needle takes small samples from different parts of your prostate. They're small, cylinder-shaped sections. Usually they're about 1 inch by 1/16 inch. The whole process usually takes about 15 minutes.
What to expect after the biopsy. After the biopsy, you may have some soreness in the area and may find a little blood in your urine, semen, or bowel movements. This should go away in a few days or weeks.
About the biopsy results. Once the biopsy is done, a pathologist--a doctor who examines tissue samples in a lab--looks at the tissue under a microscope to check for cancer cells. It usually takes a few days for the results of your biopsy to come back. A biopsy is the only sure way to tell if you have cancer and what kind of cancer it is.
In some cases, a biopsy doesn't find cancer that is present. That's because sometimes the needle misses where the tumors are. When cancer is present but isn't found, it's called a false negative biopsy. Your doctor may recommend another biopsy if he or she suspects the test results are wrong (for example, if the biopsy is negative in a man with a persistently high PSA level).

When Republican US Senate nominee Gabriel E. Gomez was seeking a lucrative historical tax deduction for his Cohasset home, he rejected the first appraisal he received because it was too low and then refused to pay the appraiser's bill, according to a claim filed this week.
That appraiser, Shaun Fitzgerald, said Gomez hired him in late 2005 to determine the amount he could deduct on his federal tax return in exchange for agreeing not to alter the home's facade. But Fitzgerald said Gomez then failed to pay the $1,000 appraiser's fee.

Police do not believe the disappearance of an Avon teen involved foul play.
who was reported missing Dec. 29, still has not been found, according to Avon Police Lt. Kelly Walsh.
"The detective division is actively investigation," Walsh said Thursday.
Avon officers reported her disappearance to state Police the day she was discovered missing and were authorized to issue a Silver Alert.
According to the State Department on Aging website, the purpose of Silver Alerts is to "speed up the process of finding" missing individuals "dementia and other cognitive impairments."
"The person hasn't been taken, it's more of a runaway situation," Walsh said. "It fits the criteria because she (Rock) hasn't taken her medication."
Rock doesn't have her medication with her and needs it, Walsh said. Police could not release the type of medication for privacy reasons.
The last indication that police have of her whereabouts was that she used her ATM card in West Hartford around 3:28 a.m. on Dec. 29. Police investigated whether she took a bus to get to family but determined this was not the case.
Rock, a white female, is about 5' 3" and weights 210 pounds. Police said she has blue eyes, a light complexion and short, red or auburn hair. She might be wearing a black jacket and black/white boots and carrying a green duffel bag, police said.
Avon police are asking anyone with information on her whereabouts to call the department at the routine police dispatch number, 860-409-4200.

What is a great white shark
What is a great white shark
Imagine an adult person – now triple that size. That's the size of the great white shark (Carcharodon carcharias). The biggest great white sharks can reach up to 20 feet long, but most are smaller. The average female is 15-16 feet long, while males reach 11-13 feet. More about the great white shark can be found in our great white shark overview.
Take the size of an adult and multiply it ten times, and you get the Giant Megatooth (Carcharodon megalodon) about the size and weight of a railroad car.
What is a great white shark
I thought great whites averaged 18 to 20 feet for females and males averaged 14 to 16 feet
Not so bad.They showed a picture with a man in it.
Wow nether even knew since i been at school many years ago
Thank you
What would the "wing span" of a 20 foot great white be?

They showed a picture
with a man in it.
Not so bad.
1) Its not megatooth, its Megalodon - Hence its scientific name
2) I think what you mean when you times it by ten is the shark's teeth. The general rule of thumb for the size of the tooth, times by 10. For example, a Great white with teeth 2 inches long would be roughly 20 feet
3) Great white sharks to exceed 20 feet, thats not their maximum length. A large female caught off of Malta in 1987 was recorded at 23'4" in length, and weighing in excess of 4000 Lbs
it is not 20 feet it would be smaller than a tiger shark
They are amazing creatures and they are also in the endangered species list.
great white sharks are 100-140 tons heavy amazing right
Dangg i'm scared of a Great White now
What is the height of a great white shark? Just curious how many feet of water it could swim into?
We added some more information about great white shark length. Hope that's useful!
Thanks for visiting and commenting.
this does not feature anything about great white sharks size today just about the giant megatooth
this really didnt help at all all u did was show a picture
thats huge
They are very interesting creatures I love them

Radiant deep dark hues of garnet. The Weet aromas of blackbeery pie, vanilla, chocolate, with essences of wet stones, lavender and roses guides the sensations. Pillowy soft tannins coat the palate with dark currants, red cherries, licorice, and sweet tobacco. A long lingering finish of dry cocoa powder and exotic spices. Drinkable now, but will continue to age beautifully beyond five years.
"Impressive from start to the very long finish, and even better than the splendid '06.

Too small !
they are good
Yum! We ordered more.
Terribly disappointed. It looked like such a wonderful bargain. The package was no bigger than a book. Had I known the name of the company that produced this snackin "feast", I never would have ordered it.
The items of the cheese and meat were a rip off. They were small, nothing compared to the pictures. I will never give this out as a gift...I will not order food items from Sportsman Guide again. Very unhappy looking at the picture and the stuff I got.

Indigenous communities around the world and in the U.S. resist threats to their sacred places—the original protected lands—in a growing movement to defend human rights and restore the environment.
In this four-part documentary series, native people share ecological wisdom and spiritual reverence while battling a utilitarian view of land in the form of government megaprojects, consumer culture, and resource extraction as well as competing religions and climate change.
Narrated by Graham Greene, with the voices of Tantoo Cardinal and Q'orianka Kilcher, the series exposes threats to native peoples' health, livelihood, and cultural survival in eight communities around the world. Rare verité scenes of tribal life allow indigenous people to tell their own stories—and confront us with the ethical consequences of our culture of consumption.
7:10 PM. — Episode One: Pilgrims and Tourists
Indigenous shamans of the Altai Republic, Russia (southern Siberia), and a northern California tribe find common ground resisting government megaprojects.
8:45 PM — Episode Two: Profit and Loss
From Papua New Guinea to the tar sands of Alberta, Canada, native people fight the loss of land, water and health to mining and gas industries.
All screenings will be followed by a discussion with director Toby McLeod and others involved in the films. Honored guests on Oct. 16 include tar sands activist Mike Mercredi, Winnemem Wintu Chief Caleen Sisk, Altaian environmental leader Danil Mamyev and Onondaga Chief Oren Lyons.

Can Beyonce do anything wrong? Anything -- at all -- to make her seem just a little less perfect? (Answer: No. And it's getting annoying.)
Apparently Blue Ivy's mama is such a sweetheart that she's sharing the Super Bowl halftime show spotlight with none other than 100 of her fans. Call her a diva if you will, but that doesn't sound like diva behavior to us. (Take note, J.Lo.)
Of course we probably can't give the pop star all the credit for the stunt. The always-hyped halftime show is sponsored by Pepsi, and they're the ones who said yesterday that fans will be introducing Beyonce on Feb. 3 in New Orleans.
But guess what?? We all have a shot at being one of those lucky 100 who will appear with Queen Bey!
The contest opens today and asks fans to send photos of themselves puttin' on the moves -- the usual foot-tapping, hip-gyrating moves you'd expect to do when you're on stage in front of millions of people with a superstar. And no, we're not making this up. Anyway, those pictures will be featured in a TV commercial, and 50 fans (who each get to bring a friend) will be chosen to join Beyonce at the Super Bowl. Niiiice, right?
There's a lot of excitement surrounding the choice of Beyonce as the halftime performer this year. For one thing, she's a heck of a lot younger and more sparkly than most all the recent acts they've put up there for almost a decade (sorry, Madonna, Fergie, Tom Petty, Bruce Springsteen, and the rest of you, but it's true). That's because Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake's "accidental" "wardrobe malfunction" in '04 turned the producers into skittish wimps who made the whole thing a giant snooze-fest (apologies again).
So this whole fan involvement thing just ups the buzz about our girl's performance even more. How touching that they're giving these nobodies their 15 minutes! And will it detract from Beyonce? And won't it look weird? Or will it just be super cool and feel-good and we'll all be dabbing our eyes and shaking our heads in admiration, again, over the goddess who is Jay Z's wife?
So bravo, Super Bowl halftime show people. You finally are doing something right. We can't wait to see how it plays out. The show, not the game. Duh!
Do you watch the Super Bowl for the game, the halftime show, or the commercials?
Image via Splash News
I cant stand her. The 100 fans was not her idea, and she probably wouldnt want them there, but probably is being forced to have them there.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO at Queen B who thinks that Beyonce gives two shits about her. Well guess what, Beyonce doesnt!!!! She is interested in taking yo money honey.

Senate Republicans on the Environment and Public Works Committee boycotted Thursday morning's hearing on Gina McCarthy's nomination to head the Environmental Protection Agency over transparency concerns that have gone unanswered.
"For too long EPA has failed to deliver on the promises of transparency espoused by President Barack Obama, former Administrator Lisa Jackson, and by Gina McCarthy," the eight Republicans said in a statement this morning.
"Accordingly, the Republicans on the EPW Committee have asked EPA to honor five very reasonable and basic requests in conjunction with the nomination of Gina McCarthy, which focus on openness and transparency," they said.
The senators released five transparency concerns they had with the EPA in April, including questions about open records violations, email policies, data access, "sue-and-settle" agreements and the agency's method of economic analysis.
The hearing was scheduled for 9:15 a.m. But without a quorum of members present, the committee will not be able to vote on McCarthy's nomination.
The senators asked the committee's chairwoman, Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., on April 25 to postpone Thursday morning's hearing until the EPA answered their transparency questions, but they were denied, according to their letter.
The eight Republicans are David Vitter, R-La..; James Inhofe, R-Okla..; John Barrasso, R-Wyo.; Jeff Sessions, R-Ala..; Mike Crapo, R-Idaho; Roger Wicker, R-Miss.; John Boozman, R-Ark.; and Deb Fischer, R-Neb.

Fall Support Group?
by Sara Freeman
posted Sep 8 2014 2:54PM
Is there a support group for people who aren't ready for fall ... because I'd be the first to join!
Don't get me wrong, I typically love fall with the leaves turning beautiful colors, football and the best selection of candy all year for Halloween. But something about last winter and spring scarred me for life! Perhaps it was the constant below zero wind chills that cancelled school so many days ... or the "high" of 7 degrees on the first Sunday in March when we're typically in the 30s ... or maybe because I wore a winter coat on May Day (May 1st!) when delivering our Magic 98 May Day baskets.
Oh well, whining about the weather isn't going to change it, so I'll just be taking lots of deep breaths in a few weeks when the wind chills creep lower and the snow starts to fall. That's a really pretty (and warm) scarf you're wearing. May I borrow it?

Our guide was good, the wrangler with us was good. My husband hadn't ridden before, ever. I had not ridden in a long time, and anxious to see if I could do all right after recovering from a back injury (years prior), as was my girl friend who came with us. They matched up the horse's personality with the rider's skill very well, we all had a great time, and it was a beautiful excursion to take. I think most people who enjoy being in nature would enjoy this one.

Horseback riding was fun, but we thought we would be more in the jungle as opposed to on a private ranch. We did see many Mayan ruins, which was very cool, and the tour guide was great.

5 Cheap Dividend Stocks Hinged on a Global Recovery
Meena is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The materials industry has been beaten down by an overall weak global economy. The materials companies we've chosen here range from commodities stocks to chemicals. We believe these companies are tied to global fundamentals, and although recent negative outlooks for global growth have placed pressure on this industry, we feel these companies are now on sale and pay relatively safe dividends that are much more appealing compared to treasuries. The companies mentioned below all have payout ratios at or below 80%, and dividend yields of at least 4%.
Vale SA (NYSE: VALE) is the Brazil-based metals and mining company. Vale is being hit with lower-priced iron ore, which will force sales down 17% in 2012, after being up 30% in 2011. The company has positive prospects, as demand for iron ore is expected to increase as China and East Asia grow. However, the major catalyst for this relies on a stimulus package in China. The company's robust balance sheet, with a debt to equity ratio of 0.30 and a payout ratio of only 33%, should continue to easily support its high dividend, which yields 6.3% (the most of the our five materials stocks). Vale saw Arrowstreet Capital take a new position in the company that made the firm the largest fund owner by far in 2Q.
Cliffs Natural Resources (NYSE: CLF), another iron ore mining company, pays a solid dividend that yields 6.2%, while only paying out 25% of earnings. The company is down almost 30% year to date after seeing sales up 45% in 2011, and it's expected to be down 6% in 2012. Cliffs has a strong market position in North America and is working on Asian expansion. Last month S&P maintained its buy recommendation, holding a $50 price target versus a $44.50 trading price. Although a couple funds, namely Ken Fisher and Ken Griffin, decreased their stakes in the company, other notable funds, like Bridgewater Associates and Carlson Capital, increased their positions dramatically.
Dow Chemical (NYSE: DOW), the largest U.S. chemical company, has the majority of its sales outside of North America (64% for 2011). Based on the company's European exposure, sales are expected to decline 2% in 2012. Dow's planned move toward less cyclical specialty chemicals and expansion into agricultural products will boost long-term earnings. Dow is expected to grow next year's EPS by over 30%. The company pays a dividend that yields 4.6%, and its payout ratio is 81%. Dow's notable competitor, DuPont, only pays a 3.5% dividend yield. By far the largest shareholder for 2Q among funds we track was Lansdowne Partners, with over 5.8 million shares of the company.
Gold Fields (NYSE: GFI), the gold miner, is paying a 4.1% dividend yield, which gives it a payout ratio of only 33%. Gold Fields is also a copper producer and one of John Paulson's top gold picks. The company has been growing aggressively, taking a 19% interest in another one of John Paulson's gold picks, IAMGOLD Corporation. Gold Fields managed to grow first half 2012 revenues 6% and net income 35%, driven by strong South Africa and Australian segments. Gold Fields is also one of the top ten gold miners paying a dividend. For this reason, Jim Simons and Carlson Capital upped their 1Q stakes 40% and 130%, respectively, during 2Q.
CRH (NYSE: CRH), the manufacturer of building materials, pays a 4.4% yield while only paying out 67% of earnings as dividends. The building materials industry, including cement, aggregates, and concrete, is heavily tied to the housing market. As housing starts continue to remain below historical levels for the time being, CRH will be relying on boosts from government infrastructure spending and the expected modest housing recovery in 2013.
Despite poor housing starts, the company saw that commercial construction spending was up 9% through the first half of 2012, and residential construction up 18%. Interestingly, environmental concerns should also allow CRH to see margin expansion as the pricing for aggregates holds up given mining restrictions. Admittedly, CRH saw little fund interest by share amount in 2Q, but does call some big names modest owners, including Jim Simons, D.E. Shaw and Steven Cohen.
Cliffs Natural and Vale both operate in the iron ore industry. They both compete against the two top iron-mining companies, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, but each trade rather cheaply relative to these competitors. While BHP trades at a P/E of 23x and Rio is at 12x, both Cliffs and Vale trade below 6x. Both of our companies also pay dividends well above those of BHP and Rio.
Gold Fields should do well in the future, as gold is expected to see higher prices in 2013 on increased demand and the Federal Reserve's renewed commitment to keep rates low through 2015—see which gold stocks are great for playing QE3. Dow, our chemical company, should see continued demand, especially as it enters the agricultural market, which should help spur growth given increased demand for weather resistant seeds and agricultural products.

Calculating measures of comorbidity using administrative data
AbstractThe development of a Stata program to calculate published measures of comorbidity will be of value to researchers working with inpatient discharge data coded in ICD-9-CM or ICD-10. The "comorbid" module calculates the weighted sum of comorbidities, as well as comorbidity scores based on the Charlson Index, which reflects the cumulative increase in likelihood of one-year mortality from comorbidities. This module allows for the calculation of three different comorbidity measures: ICD-9-CM, Enhanced ICD-9-CM or ICD-10 (Quan et al, 2005). Exclusion of less severe comorbidities can occur using an optional hierarchical method which excludes from the calculations a mild comorbidity when a patient has also exhibited a more severe form of the same diagnosis. The comparable "elixhauser" command calculates the sum of this alternate set of comorbidity measures which may be associated with negative hospital outcomes (Elixhauser et al, 1998). Both Stata algorithms can handle patients or visits as the observational unit. Options allow for a choice of summary output.

While others debate how to reduce carbon emissions, students at St. Olaf College in Northfield, MN, are calculating the carbon footprint of their activities, then paying local farmers to offset those emissions with healthy farming practices that capture carbon and preserve the land.
The initiative, organized as StoCarb (St. Olaf Carbon Offsets: Seeking Forgiveness for Our Carbon Sins) is just one in a series of St. Olaf student environmental projects that combine education, research, personal responsibility and partnership with area farmers.
"We have an ideal situation, because St. Olaf owns 400 acres that it rents to local farmers," explains Dr. Kathleen Shea, field ecology research supervisor and curator of natural lands. "We've had student projects lead the college to a change in land use that will be better for the land."
As an example, she cites Megan Gregory's semester-long monitoring of the effects of cropping and tillage patterns on soil, water, energy use and productivity, which demonstrated that local farmers could make a better income and better protect the land with no-till planting techniques that disturb the earth much less than traditional plowing methods. No-till traps greater amounts of carbon in the soil, a process known as carbon sequestration.
"The upshot of that project is that the college decided all contracts for its land would require either no-till or low-till practices," Shea says.
Students have determined that no-till technology sequesters about 0.6 metric tons of carbon per acre – but they aren't limiting their research to what farmers can do about carbon emissions.
They are also looking at the carbon cost of some prized college activities, such as the St. Olaf Band's annual tour. For the 2008-09 season, a group of band members calculated the carbon implications of the 100-member unit traveling to California and back with its instruments and gear at 171.6 metric tons of carbon.
Erin Fulton, a senior, organized the St. Olaf Band Eco-Crew, which educated fellow band members about the issue and presented the idea of offsetting the band's carbon emissions by purchasing carbon credits.
Band members bought the idea, making personal contributions to purchase carbon credits on 286 no-till acres – enough to make their tour carbon-neutral. Students and farmers used Chicago Climate Exchange data to agree on a price of $1.40 per ton. In March, students hosted farmers at the college for a business lunch on the project – and the farmers surprised them by donating their carbon checks back to StoCarb to help continue the initiative.
Keeping up the momentum will be challenging. This year, the St. Olaf Band toured Japan, a trip with a huge carbon footprint, and there is talk of purchasing credits to make all St. Olaf international study programs carbon-neutral, with students encouraged to base carbon emissions paybacks on the length of flights.
Still, farmer Dave Legvold sees great potential in the St. Olaf approach, not only to manage carbon but for a stronger partnership in general: "It's a great method to bring students and farmers together. You wouldn't think of a college band working with local farmers to offset carbon emissions, but that's what we have here.
"We have a great relationship between students and real 'I farm for a living' farmers."

Sexy dancing Queen, Karina Smirnoff will be the first pro dancer on Dancing With The Stars to pose in Playboy! Some reports say producers of the hit TV show were angry about it and felt it would hurt the show's image. But sources say they knew Karina did the shoot before the current season began and gave their blessing.
The issue hits newsstands Friday and you can view more photos here.
The 32 year old dancer is currently paired with Ralph Macchio and will be seen in the mag in May. While Karina is the first pro dancer from the show to appear in Playboy, she's not the first from the show to do so. Co-host Brooke Burke and competitors including Kendra Wilkinson, Lisa Rinna, Pamela Anderson, Holly Madison and Denise Richards have all appeared in Playboy too.
