For this year's holiday gift guide, we scoured the width and length of America, from shining seas to purple mountain majesties. We found good old ingenuity, like a young woman designing her own cheese caves—and insisting that they be American-made—to creativity manifesting in unexpected flavor combinations, like a goat cheese fragrant with lavender buds and wild fennel pollen.
Others, like regional honeys or jams, capture the essence of place: from wild elderberry jelly and peach preserves made with Michigan fruit, to honey with the fragrance of the Sunshine State's orange blossoms.
For holiday classics, look to caramels and chocolates too decadent for words.
Happy gifting!
That's My Jam
Based in Michigan, American Spoon sources local fruit to make preserves that amplify their most delicious elements, from the herbaceousness of its award-winning Wild Elderberry Jelly ($13.95), to the perfectly balanced tartness of its Sour Cherry Preserves ($10.95) and the nectar-like sweetness of its Red Haven Peach Preserves ($10.95). Spoon.com
Brooklyn Meets Delhi
Achaar is a traditional Indian relish made from a mix of vegetables and fruits, spices, chilies, and oil. Brooklyn Delhi makes a powerful tomato achaar from New York-grown tomatoes, smacking of potent Indian heat and spices ($8.75). BrooklynDelhi.com
Sweet 'n' Spicy
Straight out of Brooklyn, Mike's Hot Honey can be addictive. The taste of chilies hits your throat with force, but before it wreaks havoc, the honey soothes it over ($10 for 12 oz.). MikesHotHoney.com
When Ramps Go Funky
It's amazing how much flavor just salt and a little bit of time can impart. The ramp kraut from Blackberry Farm in eastern Tennessee is funky and pungent, its garlicky and tangy flavors reminiscent of kimchi ($18.50). BlackberryFarmShop.com
The King of Crackers
Based in Vermont, Jan's Farmhouse Crisps makes Cranberry Pistachio crackers rich with the scent of rosemary, nuts, and seeds. These are what won the company a sofi Award from the Specialty Food Association, but the Sesame Citrus crackers are equally enticing with a taste of lemon. Their thin, crunchy texture makes these crackers an awesome snack on their own or with your favorite cheese ($71.40 for a case of 12 boxes, or check online for locations). JansFarmhouseCrisps.com
Inspired by the Hudson Valley
Chocolatier Oliver Kita, who was named one of Dessert Professional magazine's Top 10 Chocolatiers in North America, is inspired by the beautiful landscape of New York's Hudson Valley, where his chocolate shop is located. Kita's decadent, all-organic truffle flavors include Cognac Crème Brulée, with caramelized brown sugar; delightfully tart Passionfruit and Lychee; and Palet d'Olivier, with the concentrated taste of black currant ($48 for four-tiered gift box).
For the holidays, Kita also makes an adorable dark chocolate polar bear, hand-painted in off-white ($24). OliverKita.com
Gingerbread in a Chocolate Bar
For a festive holiday treat, Nathan Miller Chocolate from Pennsylvania makes a gingerbread-infused chocolate bar, with just a dash of ginger-and-clove inflected crunchiness. The bean-to-bar company uses direct-trade cocoa from the Dominican Republic to make a smooth buttermilk chocolate with roasted, fruity notes ($7.50). NathanMiller.MyShopify.com
For Caramel Fans
San Francisco-based chocolatier Michael Recchiuti is known for his caramels. The Fleur de Sel Burnt Caramels are delicately balanced, with bitter, sweet, and salty flavors ($24), while the Burnt Caramel Truffles marry chocolate and caramel in the ganache, lending a deep, smoky flavor ($26). Recchiuti.com
Chocolate Bars, All Grown Up
For the chocolate lover in your life, get EH Chocolatier's The Big Tasty gift box. It's filled with grown-up, refined versions of fun chocolate bars, such as peanut butter crunch, brown butter toffee, and caramelized white chocolate ($32). A signature touch of the company is that their treats are never cloyingly sweet. EHChocolatier.com
American Honeys
Bee Raw's raw honeys showcase the astounding range of flavors and textures from different parts of the country. The Florida Orange Blossom gives off a hint of orange rind ($14.99), while the Oregon Meadowfoam exudes strong floral notes ($18.99). The Colorado Sweet Yellow Clover has a buttery, custardy texture, with an intense sweetness that builds as you savor it ($14.99). TheBrooklynKitchen.com
Snowmen Too Sweet to Resist
These chubby Jacques Torres chocolate snowmen—available in white, milk, and dark chocolate—make a great gift for anyone with an inner child and a sweet tooth ($7 each). MrChocolate.com
Pears to Eat With a Spoon
Grown in southern Oregon, these ridiculously juicy Royal Riviera pears are what made the food gift company Harry & David famous. You'll need a spoon to eat these without spraying pear juice everywhere ($19.99–$74.99). HarryAndDavid.com
Caramel Popcorn
The caramel popcorn from the Classic Moose Munch Gourmet Popcorn Tin by Harry & David, with its buttery, toffee-like coating, is the perfect satisfying munch for an evening by the holiday fire. The tin also includes s'mores, milk chocolate, and dark chocolate flavors ($39.99). HarryAndDavid.com
Cheesy Caramels
The good old salt-and-caramel combination has a serious challenger in these cheese caramels from Call Me Caramel, made with Gruyère. Sweet and popping with savory umami, these caramels make an indelible impression ($20 for 4 oz.). CallMeCaramel.com
Chocolate Turtles
If practice makes perfect, Boston's oldest chocolatier, Phillips Chocolates, has gotten chocolate turtles down to an art. Packaged in a chocolate basket, in milk and dark chocolate, these scrumptious turtles are filled with hand-roasted pecans, cashews, and almonds and perfectly creamy caramel ($99). PhillipsChocolate.com
Cheese Heaven
Cypress Grove's first ever "Host With the Most" holiday gift box should turn the heads of cheese lovers far and wide. The cheeses from Humboldt County, California—including the evocatively named Humboldt Fog, Purple Haze, Midnight Moon, Truffle Tremor, Ms. Natural, and Lamb Chopper—will transport you straight to cheese heaven. The box thoughtfully includes platters, knives, a cheese wire, and napkins, plus jam and flatbread from Rustic Bakery ($140). Available until Jan. 2. CypressGroveCheese.com
A Taste of the Holidays
What says holiday time like peppermint bark? Askinosie's classic version layers single-origin dark chocolate, creamy white chocolate, and crushed peppermint candies, sweetened and colored with beet juice ($15 for a small tin). TheBrooklynKitchen.com
Worth Its Salt
Jacobsen Salt Co. harvests its salt from the waters of Netarts Bay on the Oregon Coast. Its enormous sea salt flakes make for a marvelous finishing touch—pure, clean, with a beautiful texture. The company also makes infused sea salts, in flavors such as sweet onion, black garlic, habanero, black pepper, and garlic. A sampler set, with six vials and a wooden stand, lets you try all of these ($35). JacobsenSalt.com
For the Charcuterie Lover
If a musketeer got into the charcuterie business, you might get D'Artagnan's excellent tasting products emphasizing free-range production and humane farming practices, free of hormones or antibiotics. The Deluxe Charcuterie Gift Box ($74.99) offers plenty to please a charcuterie lover, from applewood-smoked bacon made from heritage breed pork, to duck rillettes, to saucisson sec. White and black truffle butters round out the selection. DArtagnan.com
American Wagyu
Chefs Thomas Keller, Michael Mina, and Wolfgang Puck source their impeccable American wagyu from Snake River Farms, so you know that a gift box from this producer will make you a very, very popular person. Opt for a gift box curated by chef Hugh Acheson, with two filet mignons, two ribeye filets, a Lodge skillet, and other goodies ($199); or our favorite, the American Wagyu Bone-In Steak Collection, with two bone-in filet mignons, two bone-in New York strips, and two T-bone steaks, accompanied by Espresso Brava sea salt and a cooking guide ($350). SnakeRiverFarms.com
Crafted in Brooklyn
Brooklyn-based Pernt Studio makes these walnut cutting boards with a strap, as beautiful to the eye as they are to the touch, using traditional techniques ($120 for medium, $150 for large). TheBrooklynKitchen.com
Raising the Bar
This 12-inch magnetic knife bar, handmade in Greenpoint by Brooklyn Bowyer (they also make bows and arrows), is crafted from solid wood, either cherry or walnut, and adds a super cool, rustic touch to any kitchen ($115). TheBrooklynKitchen.com
Chef's Knife
R. Murphy, based in Massachusetts, has been making knives since 1850. The 8-inch Carbon Steel Chef Knife, with a rosewood handle, can tackle almost any task in the kitchen ($90). TheBrooklynKitchen.com
Fine Cast Iron Cookware
If you thought cast iron pans made in the U.S.A. had gone the way of the dodo, have a look at Portland-based Finex Cast Iron Cookware Company. The surface of every pan is polished to a smooth sheen, while the ergonomic spring handle is designed to stay cool—all details that speak to the company's high level of craftsmanship (10-inch skillet, $165). FinexUSA.com
Liquid Gold
With scandals surrounding olive oil coming from Europe, American olive oil is gaining more attention. The olive oils at Lucero, based in Corning, California, are of superb quality. Their award-winning Ascolano olive oil bears peach, tropical fruit, and herbal aromas ($7.50, 100 ml; $17.50, 250 ml; $27.50, 500 ml); while the year's new olive oil, the Deluxe Olio Novello blend, is made from Taggiasca, Leccino, and Favolosa varietals for a fruity-floral profile and a green finish ($60, 750 ml). For those who prefer to try single-variety bottles, the Artisan Collection is composed of nine 100 mL bottles of Hojiblanca, Frantoio, Favolosa, Ascolano, Koroneiki, Barnea, Taggiasca, Picual, and Coratina ($70). LuceroOliveOil.com
Your Own Personal Cheese Cave
An idea came to self-described "cheese nomad" Jessica Sennett: What about building a personal home cheese cave, of sorts? One that would keep cheeses from meeting their untimely demise, as they so often do without the careful care of a cheesemonger. So Sennett (who got her cheesemaking chops by way of Cowgirl Creamery, Formaggio Kitchen, Bedford Cheese Shop, and an apprenticeship in Alsace, France) created the Cheese Grotto, a handsome, eco-friendly wooden box with removable shelves and a clay brick, which once submerged in water and placed inside the box provides the ideal climate control. At last, long live cheeses! Designed to fit on the counter or in the refrigerator. Made in Virginia ($350). CheeseGrotto.com
Buzz-Worthy Peaches
These pickled peaches get a fantastic zing from soaking in a mix of apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, peppercorns, and other spices ($10). The fruits—sourced from local farms in Oregon—transform into electrifying versions of themselves. RepublicOfJam.BigCartel.com
Wild Beach Plum Jam
Straight from the island of Nantucket, comes a beach plum jam from Nantucket Looms. Made from indigenous stone fruits that are in season only a few weeks each summer, the jam is handmade, sweetened with organic cane sugar, and seasoned with wild Jamaican cinnamon leaf and organic Madagascar vanilla bean ($20).

Seven Lives Many FacesMusic CD - 2008
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Released in 2008 - Seven Lives Many Faces would be Enigma's 7th studio album to date. Founded in 1990 by Romanian-German musician/producer, Michael Cretu - Enigma has been going strong for 26 years now.
Enigma's distinctive (and often-imitated) sound is a very diverse and enjoyable blend of many genres of music, such as - Electronic, New Age, Classical, Dance, and Worldbeat, to name but a few.
Seven Lives Many Faces clearly follows the familiar "Engima" formula that has earned these German musicians (with eclectic tastes) such highly-praised popularity over these many years.
Of the 12 interlaced tracks presented on this 50-minute CD - 2 of my favourites are - Between Generations and Seven Lives.... (*Watch music-video*)

Visiting Spain any time soon? Take a look at some of their most popular traditions and superstitions.
Every culture has its own interesting and, sometimes baffling, traditions and superstitions. If you're off to Spain, have a read of some of their most popular superstitions and find out where they've come from.
While the UK is traditionally wary of Friday the 13th, in Spain it is supposedly a Tuesday that is the bad luck day. On Tuesday the 13th people have been known to avoid getting married, going on a boat, embarking on a journey and even leaving the house!
There are several variations of the saying: Martes, ni te cases, ne ti embarques (Tuesday, neither get married, nor embark).
Unlucky 13 is a deep rooted concept that spans a number of cultures and religions... but why Tuesday? Well, Spanish is a Romance language whose origins lie in Latin; the days of the week are named after Roman gods. Martes, the Spanish for Tuesday, comes from Mars, the god of war.
Why would anyone want to travel on a day ruled by the god of war? That's just foolhardy!
When you come in from a day out, where do you chuck your hat? In Spain, to put your hat on the bed is a really bad idea, it'll bring you bad luck!
Could the origins of this superstition lie in the old belief that evil spirits lived in the hair and the air around a person's head? It is maybe due to the static electricity that occurred when removing a hat (particularly one lined with fur) that people once believed in the presence of evil spirits. It probably wasn't advisable to leave a hat somewhere the evil spirits could easily escape onto your bed.
Alternatively, the hat is generally a representation of the mind, thoughts and identity. Leaving your hat on the bed may have been symbolic of loosing your mind.
Or maybe it's more simple. A couple of sources suggest that the reason people never accepted someone leaving a hat on their bed was purely to prevent the spreading of headlice!
Whatever the reason. It's a bad omen – when in Spain, remember to hang your hat up.
As you walk the little streets of quaint Spanish towns, past white-washed houses, you will probably notice the abundance of cacti. If you're sitting in a restaurant, visiting a guesthouse, hotel or cafe, it's likely you'll see them perched in windows, by entryways and above doors. What has become a traditional Mediterranean sight has a lot to do with the climate: cacti are really common in this area and thrive in the warm, sunny, dry atmosphere of Spain. It makes sense for them to be the potted-plant of choice for attractive displays. But does the reasoning behind their ubiquity actually run deeper than convenience?
Well, yes! Traditionally quite a superstitious culture, as we've seen, the Spanish were rather concerned with the presence of evil spirits. It is said that the reason a cactus is placed at an entryway to a building, is because it is good at warding off evil. The cactus absorbs moisture from the air and any evil spirit trying to cross a threshold will drown in it. That's the hope, anyway, and the spirit would then be trapped there forever.
Brooms have been known to be very risky household objects! It is tradition in Spain to buy a new broom for a new house, you shouldn't take your old one with you if you move, or else it will bring with it all the bad luck from your old house. Think how many dropped gasses, broken mirrors and shattered plates it's swept up in its time. Best to get a new one with no history whatsoever.
Did you know that brooms also have the ability to determine your fate? Apparently if you are sweeping you must avoid sweeping your broom over the feet of a single woman or else she will never get married. There are variations of this superstition: some say you should avoid widows too and others say single men are just as much at risk. Basically, if you're single – avoid brooms, just to be safe! It has been suggested that the superstition originates with tales of witches. Others say that it simply comes from the outdated idea that if a single girl is not doing her own sweeping, she surely won't make a very good wife...
Stay away from the colour yellow if you're a superstitious person in Spain! The colour yellow traditionally represents sulphur and the devil. There are a number of superstitions surrounding yellow: you're not supposed to wear yellow on an important day, such as for an exam or interview, as it will surely bring you bad luck. Don't buy yellow clothes as a gift – it is not done to gift a friend or family member with yellow clothes. And certainly don't give yellow clothes as a gift for a baby! Apparently it will bring the evil eye.
What is considered in England as a neutral tone for a nursery would be considered a really bad idea for superstitious parents-to-be in Spain.

Angelina Jolie's acting 'frustration'
- Bang Showbiz
- 15 December 2014
Angelina Jolie has admitted that she felt "frustrated" as an actress and is "much happier" behind the camera
Angelina Jolie felt "frustrated" as an actress.
The 39-year-old star - who made her directorial debut with 'The Land of Milk and Honey' in 2011 and released her second picture 'Unbroken' this year - has confessed she didn't feel, as an actress, as "connected" to films as she would have liked and is "much happier" working on movies behind the camera.
She told The Daily Telegraph Magazine: "As an actress, you learn about your character, and you understand the overall picture of any film you're working on, but there's so much you're not a part of.
"There's so many times I've felt frustrated with films I've been in, or seen them and not felt connected to them, or haven't watched them at all. I'm much happier directing."
The Oscar-winner admitted she was nervous about making the switch from actress to director but felt compelled to take on the role with 'The Land of Milk and Honey' - which focusses on the atrocities committed by the Bosnian-Serb forces during the Serbian War between 1992 and 1995 - as she felt so strongly about the topic.
Angelina - who penned the script following a trip to Bosnia as part of her ambassadorial duties for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees - said: "I was nervous another director might be less sensitive about the material, so I volunteered myself.
"But I didn't think I'd be any good at it. I just wanted to do my best."

Welcome to the informational website for the PNI Settlement.
You may be eligible for reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses, charges, and monetary losses arising from a security incident if you are a U.S. resident who used a credit, debit, or other payment card between June 2014 and July 2015 to purchase photo services from CVS, Costco, or Rite Aid through their photo websites.
Please review the FAQs page for further details about this matter.
A settlement has been reached with PNI Digital Media ("PNI") in a class action lawsuit about a data security incident that occurred between June 2014 and July 2015, during which PNI was the victim of a criminal cyberattack in which criminals accessed its computer systems (the "Security Incident"). A number of lawsuits were filed asserting claims against PNI relating to the Security Incident. PNI denies all of the claims and says it did not do anything wrong.
The Settlement Class includes all persons residing in the United States who made a payment to one or more Retailers (including CVS, Costco, and Rite Aid) for photo services using a credit, debit, or other payment card online between June 2014 and the end of July 2015, and whose payment card information was provided to PNI.
The Settlement provides two types of payments to people who submit valid claims: 1) Reimbursement of up to $250 for out-of-pocket expenses and documented lost time that resulted from the Security Incident; and 2) Reimbursement of up to $10,000 for extraordinary expenses which were more likely than not caused by the Security Incident.
The only way to get a payment is to file a claim. Please click below to get started.

Open Thread: Talk About Sex & Love — No Conversation Is or Ever Will Be Off Limits Here
Here's your place to come talk about sex and love whenever you feel like it.
I met him while working at concert. We had spent three days setting up for the show, and it was our last day there. Before he left to go home he hung around and chatted with me, finally saying, "So do you want my number?" Although I found his approach cocky, I laughed and gave him mine instead.
We had been flirting throughout our time at the venue, and I was intrigued by how together his life was. He talked about how he had a good day job, his own apartment and was training to be a police officer. It had been a while since I went out with an older guy who looked so good on paper that he would impress my mom. I half expected him not to actually text me -- but he did the next morning, and every day after that.
I liked that he was attentive and wanted to keep in contact regularly. Since he was putting so much attention toward pursuing me, it didn't cross my mind that there could be someone else.
We went on our first date a couple days later at a park. He picked me up in his blue sports car, waiting outside to greet me and open my door. As we walked through the trails and got to know each other better, I felt the return of butterflies -- something I didn't think I could get anymore.
I'd never dated anyone who was so squeaky clean before: He had never done drugs, he barely drank, his family was tight knit and he even volunteered at church. The best part was that he didn't push to get in my pants. He was a complete gentleman. I had been single for a long time, he made me re-imagine what it would be like to settle down with someone.
Then, after a week of texting non-stop and our second date, he told me he had a girlfriend. They'd been together for 5 years.
I was shocked. I was angry. Part of me felt like I was special -- like maybe this was one of those rare occasions where we had a spark that he didn't have with his girlfriend and that he would leave her for me.
Regardless, I met up with him the next day, telling myself that I was going to end things with him. I wasn't going to be a home-wrecker. But something stopped me. As we talked, he told me that he wasn't getting what he needed from her -- they fought all the time and they didn't have sex anymore and that he had more fun with me in the past week than he had in years. I was naïve; I bought it.
Part of me felt bad for him. He talked about how he had tried to make things work with her for years and how poorly she treated him. He wasn't sure what he was going to do, but he said spending time with me made him happier than he'd been in a long time.
In retrospect I feel like an idiot for believing a word he said, but at the time I felt like if this perfect-on-paper-kind-of-guy treated me so well and wasn't able to be monogamous, then maybe no one was. At least if I was dating him, I knew what he was up to.
The next month was a whirlwind romance -- and it would have been perfect if guilt, jealousy and paranoia hadn't slowly been seeping in. Although we spent more time together than he did with his girlfriend and he was completely upfront about what they did together -- insisting that they hadn't had sex for months -- it all started to take a toll on me. I began to feel more like a therapist than someone he was dating, and every time he mentioned that she was complaining about something or nagging him to do something it made me think about what would happen if I started complaining or nagging.
I felt this immense pressure to be as fun and carefree as possible, worried that he would get tired of me. Where was the line between girlfriend and fake girlfriend?
He told me that he was incredibly good at lying and that he would have no problem keeping me a secret from his girlfriend -- and I believed him by just looking at how immaculate he kept his apartment. I watched as he talked to her on the phone in the mornings while we lied in bed naked, changing his voice to baby speak and telling her that he couldn't go out for breakfast with her because he wanted a "me day."
His "me day" consisted of him taking me out for breakfast, going for a walk in the park, watching movies and lounging around eating junk food, playing video games and fucking. Seriously, between him texting her consistently about how his day was going, we must have had sex almost a dozen times in a 24-hour period.
He never once talked about using condoms. He knew I was on the pill, but he didn't ask me if I'd been tested recently -- and to be honest, I hadn't. When I asked him about this, his response was that I didn't look like someone who slept with that many people. He just assumed I was STI-free by looking at me.
Even though he and his girlfriend supposedly weren't having sex, what if they did down the road and he gave her something I had given him? On one hand there's emotional disrespect, which I'm not condoning -- but then there's a whole different kind of disrespect when you put your partner's health at risk.
When I asked him if he felt bad for cheating on his girlfriend, he told me that he didn't. According to him, she had put him through enough turmoil to deserve it. He said that he wished things were different and that he'd met me 5 years ago.
I found myself wanting to drink more when I was with him to numb the pain that was eating me up inside. I didn't know his girlfriend, but despite what their relationship was like, she didn't deserve to be lied to like this. He would sneak me out early in the mornings before she was to arrive an hour later. After she left his place, he would text me asking if I wanted to spend the night. I couldn't believe he had the energy to juggle two women.
One morning ,while I was getting ready to leave before his girlfriend was coming over, I purposely left makeup in the sink hoping that she'd find it. When he left his phone in the bathroom, I contemplated texting her, "He's cheating on you," and on the train back home, I had stared at her Facebook page, urging myself to send her a message. But if I were his girlfriend would I really want to hear it from another woman?
"I can't do this anymore," I texted him later that day. As soon as the words were on the screen, all the anxiety I had been carrying around was suddenly lifted. Of course he kept telling me that we needed to talk, that he wanted me to wait for him to make a decision and that he wished things could be different. But as much as I had enjoyed spending time with him and as amazing as the sex was, I had lost all respect for him. Even if he did break up with his girlfriend I'd never be able to trust him. It's amazing how you can have feelings for someone and think of them as a lying piece of shit at the same time.
The thing is, he may have been secretly cheating on her when she wasn't around, but he was cheating on me right to my face.
It may be exciting in the beginning to be the other woman because you feel special, but you become stuck in the trap of being a vacation of a girlfriend. You try to keep up his fun, carefree image of you, hiding the not-so-sexy parts. You work on covering your tracks by cleaning up after yourself and wearing his cologne – not because you're protecting him, but because you know how much it'll hurt his girlfriend.
I know I deserve a better partner than someone who's already taken. Part of me feels like it's not enough that I left him -- I thought about telling his girlfriend that he cheated on her over and over -- but would she even believe me? Would he convince her to forgive him? I sincerely hope his girlfriend realizes that she deserves better than him and causes him as much pain as he caused her on the way out the door.

You could be difficult pressed to discover an individual who doesn't know anything about Golden Corral restaurants. It can be an American family-style restaurant chain supplying massive buffets and grilled as well as fresh baked goods.
It can be a private business headquartered in Raleigh, North Carolina, with restaurants in some 40 states. Mr. James Maynard and Mr. William F. Carl founded their concept in 1971. Their very simple idea took off immediately after a variety of failed attempts to franchise with other organizations.
Golden Corral was introduced in 1972 and they opened their very first Golden Corral Loved ones Steak Property in January three, 1973, in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
It took only a matter of months to open the second restaurant in Raleigh, North Carolina and the a third built on June 18, 1974 in Fayetteville. The business owned 100 restaurants by 1979 and it took only a year to obtain 152 restaurants. The organization developed 193 restaurants by 1982 and by the end in the decade would see 430 restaurants, each and every exceeding $1 million in sales year over year.
Today the business has expanded its restaurants to over 486 areas across the United states of america. The organization owns 103 of them along with the other individuals are franchised stores boasting gross sales above 1.530 billion dollars.
Focusing on freshness they separated themselves from other price range steakhouses. The majority of their restaurants target small-town America, far away from their regular competitors and with a footprint of almost 5000 square feet.
They opened their initially seven Metro Market variety restaurants in 1991. These restaurants were substantially larger at 10,000 square feet accommodating almost 400 folks at a time.
Brass Bell bakery was an addition. It was popular for its brass bell which rang each 15 minutes signaling fresh bread, pastries and rolls coming out in the steamy oven.
Investing in a Golden Corral franchise 1 could count on a total investment range from two to 6 million dollars, an initial franchise charge of $50,000.00, royalty costs of 4% a 15 year term of agreement in addition to a $13,000.00 renewal charge.
Of course, when planning to commence any business it really is significant, specifically contemplating today's market, that you just appear for precise ways to cut decrease or lower overhead and risk. Any enterprise is going to have danger, however it is vital to have a complete understanding of your amount of investment, start-up cost and "ROI" (Return on Investment).
Most men and women are usually not aware that 80% of ALL franchise endeavors fail within the very first two to five years leaving large debts looming for many years thereafter.
One way and in my opinion the most effective method to reduce overhead, start-up and investment price is always to make the most of the new age of entrepreneurship and start out a enterprise in the comfort of your household. Opportunities have emerged in the on-line industry which might be building millionaires each single day.

Vietnamese Clam Chowder
This chowder takes its cue from New England with its use of potatoes, celery, and onion - but the similarities end there. Flavored with lemongrass, ginger, and fish sauce, this brothy version with coconut milk has an authentically assertive flavor.
How to Make It
Cut lemongrass stalk in half crosswise; coarsely crush using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add potato, onion, celery, ginger, and garlic; cook 5 minutes or until celery and onion are tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in lemongrass, sugar, fish sauce, and clam juice. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes or until potato is tender.
Stir in zucchini, clams, and chiles. Bring to a boil; cook 2 minutes. Stir in coconut milk, lime juice, and cilantro; remove from heat. Remove lemongrass; discard.

The USA Today reports on the development of a shingles vaccine. According to the article, "The vaccine reduced shingles cases by 51% in people given the vaccine vs. those given the placebo. Vaccination reduced the burden of illness, a measure of pain and discomfort, by 61%."
So why aren't people getting this vaccine? One reason is how the vaccine is paid for. The vaccine, priced around $150 by the manufacturer, is covered by the part of Medicare that pays for prescriptions, not doctor visits. That means doctors are not automatically paid for shots given in their offices. Some send patients to pharmacies to get the shots or pick up prescription vials, adding steps that may reduce use, Oxman says. Others stock and give the vaccine, but require patients to pay upfront and seek their own reimbursement.

Antonio: "(The Marathon) gave me the confidence that I needed and gave me the determination to attack other goals that I had in mind. As a result, I also managed to perform better in school because I wanted to excel in everything I do."
Joaquin: I do not think that I would have ever been accepted to a four-year university had I not participated in SRLA, because it was through this organization that I met people who talked to me about college, and finishing the marathon is the evidence that convinced me that I am capable of graduating from a four-year university.

While running is the core activity of the program, SRLA students learn that discipline, persistence, and hard work lead to success...both at the marathon and in life.

This is a playful, joyful approach to remember our childlike spontaneity and tap into our imagination. Participants will discover new ways to connect with the infinite source of all creation and allow that energy to inspire, infuse and flow through your creative expressions.
Participants will be given an understanding of how to work with the dynamic energy of fire to create, the flow of water to birth new ideas, the power of air to manifest, the strength of earth to bring into form and the prana of the ethers to infuse and inspire. We will explore how colors "sound", how music "looks", expanding into multi-dimensional aspects of our unlimited potential. Through the process of creating tangible expressions of artistry, we begin to understand how to work with these powerful creative forces to create our lives and the world around us.

ROBERT B. WAREHAM is the founder and managing director of The Law Center P.C. in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, where his primary practice area focuses on family law with an emphasis on complex financial cases and those involving allegations of domestic, substance, or child abuse.

He is frequently cited in television and newspaper articles. In addition to his family law practice, Mr. Wareham handles background clearance denial appeals and petitions for reinstatement of firearms privileges. He oversees the criminal defense practice of his associates and colleagues. He was instrumental in having all criminal charges dismissed, and monetary compensation being paid to a theater patron who was arrested while openly carrying a firearm into a Thornton Theater one week after the Aurora Theater shooting.

He is a recognized expert on Colorado firearms law and 2nd Amendment issues. He has testified as an expert witness before the Colorado Senate Judiciary Committee on firearms and protection order issues; and was actively involved in the gun control debates in the Colorado General Assembly in 2013, as well as at rallies held in support of 2nd Amendment rights at the State Capitol. Following passage of the gun control legislation of 2013, Mr. Wareham founded The Citizen Armory LLC, a Federal Firearms Licensee, to give gun owners a safe, private storage option when required to relinquish their firearms due to a pending domestic protection order or criminal matter. A former law enforcement officer, Mr. Wareham firmly advocates for individual gun rights and exercises his right-to-carry daily. (Denver and Colorado Springs locations)

There must be something in the water. Y'all know what I did this weekend? Are ya ready? Mom, sit down. This is going to shock you and you could might fall down and hit your head. I cleaned. Yup. The whole dang house. Now, ok, Best Boyfriend Ever helped too. We done cleaned the whole house from top to bottom, every corner, ever floor. I know! How crazy is that?? And we relaxed after that. Yup. Went and got pizza and shared a pitcher of beer for lunch. That night? We watched two great movies. One was the Pursuit of Happyness – and people, I BAWLED my eyes out. Seriously, just cried through the whole thing. Even finally gave up trying to hide it from BBE. LOVE that movie.
Then, yesterday I finished off some paintings and got them in the mail and well, relaxed some more. I feel like the laziest person on the planet because I have not been painting very much lately- just working at the design job. I know I should just enjoy all this relaxing free time, because I know it will get busy again. But I get scared. SCARED. First housecleaning. What next?! Cooking! People, I STEAMED fresh veggies last night! Good lord, I might BAKE next! Can you imagine the repercussions on the children? A clean house, fresh laundry at all times, HEALTHY food each night followed by scrumptious home made baked goodies??!!! They might come to EXPECT me to be a GOOD mother ALL THE TIME! The madness has got to stop. It's clearly time to think up a some time consuming painting project. Next thing you know I will be sewing! Or paying bills! On time!! And that? That is just not acceptable, people. I am pretty sure an me having an organized home is one of the signs of the apocalypse. If you see a bunch of white horses running by your window you can blame me and come on by for some homemade brownies in my nice clean house sitting next to the windows with the pretty hand-sewn chintz* curtain.
*I don't even know what chintz is. Sorry mom.

Sangamo is developing state of the art AAV-based gene therapies for the treatment of monogenic diseases, such as hemophilia A and certain inherited metabolic disorders.
A gene is a unit of genetic information contained in an organism's genome or DNA, which encodes the instructions for making a protein. Collectively, genes provide the information for the organism's development and characteristics. Humans have about 20,000 genes on their 23 pairs of chromosomes.
In monogenic diseases an essential protein isn't made properly, or in sufficient quantities, as a result of a mutation in a single gene. One therapeutic solution is to deliver a new copy of the defective gene to cells so that they can now make the protein and alleviate symptoms of the disease. This is known as gene therapy.
The new therapeutic gene can be delivered using an engineered virus. As part of their life-cycle, viruses need to deliver their genetic instructions to a cell in order to reprogram it to produce more viral copies. In gene therapy, we can use a harmless virus which has been engineered to deliver the genetic information necessary to make a human therapeutic protein rather than viral proteins. One virus that is commonly used in gene therapy is adeno-associated virus or AAV.
AAV is a naturally occurring virus that infects humans but is not known to cause disease. Engineered AAV has been used as a delivery method for gene therapy in many clinical trials in the U.S. and Europe and has been found thus far to be generally well-tolerated without major side effects.
A gene encoding a therapeutic protein can be packaged into AAV and delivered to cells in tissues such as the liver, the eye, the brain or the heart. Once inside the cell, the gene is unpacked from the virus coat, or capsid, and can then enable that cell to make the therapeutic protein. AAV can be manufactured at a large enough scale for use as a human therapeutic.
Our robust collection of publications, authored by our own scientists, collaborators and others, contains original research articles and review articles that are relevant to our ZFP technology and its many applications.
