I wrote a post on tobacco and vaping. It had a great response. In it I stated I would be talking some about e cigs in some upcoming posts. If you didn't read the post I am referring to, you can read "Smoking Cigs and Vaping E-cigs".
First off you may wonder just what vaping is.
. Vaping doesn't have fire. It heats up the cartridge, which creates a "water vapor" that is inhaled like a cigarette. This "vapor" contains nicotine which is what you get from the cigarette but it doesn't contain tar like a cigarette or 100's of other chemicals a cigarette contains.
is let me tell you about the e-cig I received from a company called SNG Vapor. After talking to one of the nicest women I have met, she offered to send me a few things from her company. This lady cares about her customers and isn't just out for the dollar. This also helped me to know that her products would be safe.
an E cig kit. I loved the fact that there was a kit available to get me started. In this kit it contained a case, a USB pass through, 2 clearomizers with dual coil heads. In this kit you also receive a bottle of juice of your flavor choice and nicotine level choice. Am I confusing you yet?
I had only had a simple little e cig that you had to charge in your USB port and wait to vape. It didn't last long and wasn't as sophisticated. If you have never vaped before (and I am not trying to get you to vape). If you already smoke this is a great alternative!
out is You can choose your nicotine level 0 mg –25 mg. Yes, that's right, you don't even have to have nicotine at all!
1. It has a pass through battery. This means you can use it and charge it at the same time. It has a mini usb port on the bottom, so when you take the cap off the bottom you can stick it into any cell phone charger- computer etc. that has a usb port. It was suggested that I treat it just like I would a cell phone. Plug it in before bed at night, take it off in the morning. That way you will always have a full battery.
2. There is a safety feature on this e cig. 5 clicks fast will turn it off or on. Once you do that you will see a blue light flashing 3 times. This same blue light will flash to let you know it is dying. I know with some of the other e cigs I have tried, I found that I could run down a battery FAST because of hitting it. With this feature it is a lifesaver and a battery saver! haha
3. The Clearos are really easy to use. They are rebuildable. One thing you have to be aware with these is the small rubber o in the bottom. You don't want to lose that out. If you do then the seal will be gone. You basically just have to hold your clearo to the side while dribbling your juice in. There is a tiny white post in it that you get your air through so you don't want that juice to go into that and it end up directly in your mouth. This juice does smell good enough to eat, I wouldn't recommend it though!
Really the lady I talked to gave me so much info that I am passing on into this post. It is really simple to assemble. Of course hearing about it and seeing it on the site is one thing. Touching it, using it and actually seeing it does what it says is another. I have had it for a couple weeks now and it is still working great. The texture is awesome and I love the way it feels. As I said I love the safety feature on it.
If you are a smoker I would suggest you get this for a couple reasons. The look/feel. The safety feature. And okay this is a woman thang. The colors available on the clearos. They have pink, purple, green, clear. How awesome is that?
Another thing that I would suggest vaping instead of smoking for. THE JUICES! You will not believe the flavors available. I was also sent a variety of flavors on them. I am going to do another post and only talk about the juices available and what I thought of each. I was sent melon berry, sweet smarts, orange jealous, perfect pear. As I said I will do a post and tell you about each of these. But you can check out their site and see the ones available.
When I first got in touch with SNG Vapor I was interested in the juices because I know they would appeal to the ladies that read my blog. After this ecig kit came in I felt I wanted to share more about it. Please stay tuned for a new post on the juices in the next week or two. While you wait though I urge you to check out their website. Check out their facebook page and follow them on twitter! If you have any questions please email me and I will ask for you or feel free to contact the company directly. They are very helpful and know a lot about what they are doing.
As I said before, I am a social smoker and this is perfect for me. I have several friends now using Ecigs. I go to a lot of conferences and business meetings with my husband and I see how these are really becoming popular. I also have seen my sister and her husband cut down on their smoking to stop smoking altogether thanks to ecigs. It is totally up to the individual.
disclaimer: I received free products in exchange for writing this review. I was not required to write a positive review. All opinions are 100% my own and may differ from yours.
I wil have to try these. I have been doing the e-cigs for 4 years now and love them. I smoked for many, many years and do not miss a regular cigarette.
i am very happy to say that i have never smoked and neither have my children. my father smoked for 60 years and quit cold turkey when they amputated his leg. i support all products that helps people quit
Dont think I would like flavors!
Vaping really does help you quit. when I first starting vaping I wanted a juice that tasted like a cigarette, but once I quit smoking my taste changed, so now i prefer fruity flavors.

A very interesting alternative to smoking. my husband and i are quitting ourselves and i don't think we will be vaping. not sure though. we shall see how the gum goes.
This would be great for my brother in law. I'd love for him to be able to quit smoking.

I would like to give these a go. Sounds superior to others I have seen
I had to quit cold turkey for health reasons, it was either a trach or quit smoking so I could breathe, tough decision but If I had the choice on quitting I definitely would have tried this option!
I used an e-cig because I Wanted to be able to smoke without being a problem to anyone else. I smoked for more than 30 years before I tried it. I used it for a few months and quit. It's been 4 years now – no smoking or vapeing now. =)
Electronic cigarette is a such a great innovative discovery to help people in quitting smoking. Now you can save yourself with your favorite flavored electronic cigarette.

I'm a real sucker for beauty products, so I decided to share some of my current lusts with you all!
I have really pale, really sensitive skin so finding a powder foundation has been a toughie. I don't actually wear any form of foundation past concealer, but sometimes I need a little bit and I've been using Clinique's version. However, in spite of being hyperallogenic the lightest shade is just a touch too dark/ orange for me, so I have to be really careful how I apply it when I use it! So, as far as shade is concerned cue make up artist Alex Box's creation Illamasqua, which I have been eying up ever since my eyes fell upon the deathly pale shades in their first ever ad campaign. It was not until I got a chance to try the powders out on my skin in Selfridges last week did I discover that the powder doesn't give me any adverse allergic reaction did I automatically add it to the top of my wish list as a must have!
I didn't really let myself get all excited about the new Burberry line, even though I'm just that little bit in love with all things Burberry, because I figured I'd be allergic to most of it. That was before I realised that there were lovely. neutral and earthy tones lipsticks and lip glosses included in the line! As a lipstick fiend I want to try out a nice reddish brown colour for the Autumn/ Winter!
As a big fan of brightly coloured mineral eye shadows it's essential that I have a good eye shadow primer, which is something I have yet to accomplish! I know I'm a religious Benefit user and they've got a new one out, but absolutely everyone, including a couple of make up artists I know have sung Urban Decay's Primer Potion's virtues to me, so I think that I may have to try it!
Finally, aside from my nail polish love meaning that I really want to try one of Butter London's polishes, and it being purple (my favourite colour, as well as bring a jewel shade which is in this season), I really want to test run this polish because it's sheer jelly polish. How cool is that - jelly nail polish!
What beauty product do you really want to go out and buy right now?

Earlier I wrote how to checkout and built latest version of DataObjects.Net. But since repository is pretty large, and Mercurial sends you its copy with the whole history, this can be a long process. So here is the way to make this a bit faster and controllable:
- Download two parts of .rar archive containing current repository snapshot;
- Extract the archive;
- Open command prompt in "DataObjects.Net" folder there;
- Type "hg pull" to get the most current changes;
- Type "hg up -C" to update your working copy to the latest revision.
That's it.
P.S. Just measured: .hg folder in repository is 210 Mb (that's what is sent via HTTP), and my .rar is 190 Mb. So Mercurial rules ;) Thus it's reasonable to use this way only if you have some problems with the standard one.

The only goood thing about this hotel is the location. But in London West End, could it be enough to attract customers with so many hotels in the area? I mean this hotel still charges around £180 per night (I have checked the best price you could get for a Saturday night in September).
The hotel is managed by the Jumeirah Group. Despite its size, the Burj Al Arab holds only 28 double-storey floors which accommodate 202 bedroom suites. The smallest suite occupies an area of 169 m2 (1,820 sq ft), the largest covers 780 m2 (8,400 sq ft). It is one of the most expensive hotels in the world. The cost of staying in a suite begins at US$1,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, starting at US$28,000 per night.[11]
Suites feature design details that juxtapose east and west. White Tuscan columns and a spiral staircase covered in marble with a wrought-iron gold leaf railing show influence from classicism and art nouveau. Spa-like bathrooms are accented by mosaic tile patterns on the floors and walls, with Arabian-influenced geometries, which are also found elsewhere in the building.

It caused me to miss THIS weekend, which was not a volunteer gig, but a Folk Art Fair for which I paid dearly--non-refundable, of course. But priorities have to make sense, and besides that, there is no way I could have stood up under a show weekend, even if I had been dumb enough to try.
After a couple days' antibiotics, I am better. Sad for the husband, because I can (sort of) talk again, so his silent reprieve has come to an end. I think I've taken my health for granted, so spoiled have I been to not having a fever. At any rate, I'm on the mend, and looking forward to getting busy again. I have a booth fee to make up for!

Predictions For Sun Sign
Meeting Saturday, Feb 13: 2016 Predictions for each Sun Sign
This lecture allows us to take a walk through the 12 sun signs with a focus on planting the seeds you need to grow this year. We have some transformative, emotive, and expansive experiences to delve into for our growth and happiness in 2016, which ultimately brings us success.
Each one of us has gifts, talents, and our own unique style to contribute to our community and to ourselves. As we awaken to our lives on a deeper and more profound level we are given experiences that take us out of our comfort zone, transform our minds, and ultimately get expressed to those around us, inspiring others to take on their own paths to self transformation and happiness.
To be open to happiness and success we must hold ourselves 100% accountable and responsible for our own lives. We must trust that the experiences that are laid upon us are exactly what we need. When traumatic events strike our lives we are abruptly awakened to life and death, to our own levels of limitations and restrictions in those areas of our reality. As we come through to the other side we are stronger more powerful within our own boundaries and the structures we have created in our life. We are stronger than we know and sometimes it's through the inconceivable that we learn the most about ourselves.
Take hold of the power of your life and move forward with discipline and focus so that you are in alignment to your path and the journey that you were born to take.

Rep. Mo Brooks on Sunday said he will introduce legislation in the coming week to allow congressmen and senators to carry guns, in the wake of the shooting of fellow Congressman Steve Scalise.
The man who shot The Republican House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and others at a congressional baseball practice earlier this week had with him a piece of paper with the names of three other members of Congress. The congressman underwent another surgery Saturday, and the hospital said he was more responsive and speaking with family. Hodgkinson had posted comments critical of President Donald Trump on his social-media accounts and engaged in a profane tirade about Trump in a chance conversation with an auto mechanic the day before the attack in Alexandria, where Hodgkinson had been living in his van since about March.
Officials confirmed the list to the New York Times and also said that Hodgkinson had pictures of the ballpark on his cell phone. Infection remains a considerable risk in the days and weeks during Scalise's extended hospital stay, Sava said.More news: Iraq captures border crossing to Syria from IS
In a statement Saturday, Matt Mika's family says he will remain in the intensive care unit at George Washington University Hospital at least through the weekend. "The Scalise family greatly appreciates the outpouring of thoughts and prayers". "I think that his risk of death right now is substantially lower than when he came in. he was as critical as you can be when he came in". Doctors said his prognosis was positive on Friday. Also hurt but released from hospitals were two Capitol Police officers, David Bailey and Crystal Griner, and House GOP aide Zack Barth. The offices of both senators - Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth - turned over the emails to Capitol Police and declined to offer specifics about their content.
A list of names was found on Hodgkinson at the scene, which included Brooks and other Republican congressmen.
Doctor Sava described Scalise's shot to his left hip as a devastating "trans-pelvic gunshot wound" from a high-velocity rifle.

The Hangover Part II. Funny not funnier.
Bradley Cooper as Phil
Ed Helms as Stu
Zach Galifianakis as Alan
Justin Bartha as Doug
The wolfpack is back. This time they invade foreign shores. Stu is betrothed to Lauren, a young Thai-American, and is set to wed in a beautiful beach resort in Thailand. With best friends Phil & Doug, soon-to-be-brother-in-law Teddy and unfortunately Alan toasted beer and chucked marshmallows at a beach campfire. The next morning, Doug happily woke to a nice breakfast at the hotel while head-busted Phil, face-tattooed Stu and head-shaven Alan woke up in a rusty apartment in the middle of Bangkok with Teddy nowhere to be found. A mad search ensues for Teddy which includes encounters with a capuchin monkey, tiny Mr. Chow, Buddhist monks, Russian mobsters, Thai lady-boys, Interpol agents plus encore from Iron Mike Tyson.
It was funny, not as funny as the first one though.
Once is enough.

Marvel begins the summer with a bang. Starts it of with the Son of Odin.
Chris Hemsworth as Thor
Natalie Portman as Jane Foster
Anthony Hopkins as Odin
Tom Hiddleston as Loki
Based on the Norse mythology of Odin, King of Asgard. Mighty Thor, arrogant warrior. Son of Odin. Defies his father and reignites an ancient war against the Frozen Giant. For his defiance, he is cast into the realm of Earth stripped of his power and the mystical Mjolnir. There he meets the beautiful scientist, Jane Foster. Soon follows the evils of his step-brother Loki.
The movie was excellent. I was expecting little from the Mjolnir but they did an amazing animation job on it. Chris Hemsworth eerily sounded like the late Heath Ledger. Australians. Natalie Portman is always as lovely while Kat Dennings injected the funnies. Wait after the end credits.
Repeat again and again.
In the beginning, there were mutants.
James McAvoy as Charles Xavier/Professor X
Michael Fassbender as Erik Lensherr/Magneto
Jennifer Lawrence as Raven Darkholme/Mystique
Rose Byrne as Dr. Moira MacTaggert
January Jones as Emma Frost
Kevin Bacon as Sebastian Shaw
1944, in a Nazi Concentration Camp, mutant Sebastian Shaw witnessed the powers of young Erik Lehnsherr, coerced him to unleashed it. Fast forward to 1962, Lehnsherr hunts down his Nazi oppressors in search of Shaw. Enter Charles Xavier. The two became best of friends until they've come to realize the difference in their vision of mutant-human relations.
Nice storyline. Perfect cast. Effects was nothing special. Jennifer Lawrence is a breakthrough. I like Logan's cameo.
Two times is okay.

Just Go With It
Adam Sandler as Danny
Jennifer Aniston as Katherine
Brooklyn Decker as Palmer
Betrothed Danny, an aspiring cardiologist, backs out from his own wedding upon hearing his wife-to-be's settling for his elephant nose. Later in a bar, he learned about the power of the wedding ring and uses it to his advantage. Fast forward to today, he's a successful plastic surgeon. Meets the girl of his dreams in Palmer. Palmer finds out about the ring. Enter Katherine and her two lovely kids to the rescue.
The movie was OK. Nicole Kidman, Dave Matthews, Palmer's yellow bikini and the British-speaking Maggie, played by Bailee Madison, saved the movie. Loved the music mash-up, listen good.
Twice is enough.

Rapunzel – voiced by Mandy Moore
Eugene Fitzherbert AKA Flynn Rider – voiced by Zachary Levi
Mother Gothel – voiced by Donna Murphy
You all know the story of Rapunzel, right?
Best Mandy Moore movie ever! I had a great laugh cause I kept thinking "Chuck" (Zachary Levi's more famous character on TV) but he wasn't there and he could belt out a tune too. Mother Gothel was just the right kind of evil. Excellent decision of keeping Pascal and Maximus quiet, very funny couple. But 2D would have sufficed. Good first movie choice of Abbie for 2011.
See it again, and again, and again. Bring the kids too.

Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps
Michael Douglas as Gordon Gekko
Shia LeBouf as Jacob "Jake" Moore
Carey Mulligan as Winnie Gekko
Josh Brolin as Bretton James
Susan Sarandon as Sylvia Moore
Frank Langella as Lewis Zabel
Directed by Oliver Stone
Gordon Gekko is released from prison. I initially thought Bud Fox was the one who put him there for insider trading, the movie proved it was something much bigger. Jake is in love with Winnie, Gordon's daughter. Jake is obsessed about meeting Gordon. Winnie wants nothing to do with his father. Ends up reconciling with him and eventually marrying Jake, have a child and be in one happy, legitimate family. The end. That's pretty much it. Love, Rumors, Money, Family. Maybe that's why Abbie slept in most of its boring parts. Not that she wants to. The first one had more depth of character.
Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps is the first and only sequel Oliver Stone ever made.
Bud Fox (Charlie Sheen), from the first Wall Street, appears in a cameo role.
Director Oliver Stone appears in the movie a couple of times as a stock broker.
Rent it.

Saisaki's Eat All You Can Tempura
Last night, Dads Ultimate Buffet had an anniversary special. The Eat All You Can Tempura. To celebrate Saisaki's 33 years of existence. Abbie chose to have the regular Saisaki buffet since she is not a big fan of tempura. I, on the other hand is 🙂
For only P330, you'll get a bowl of soup, a cup of sticky rice, bottomless iced tea & all you can eat tempura. At first, they gave me 3 tempuras & 2 crab sticks. The second round, they gave me 5. On the third, 4 more. And getting oilier by the round. For the last round, 4. On paper, I ate 16. The truth, 14 & a half. After all that, my heart was pounding like a racehorse after the Kentucky Derby. But it was well worth it.

Golden Spoon
Whenever I bring the car to work, we make it a point that we'll enjoy some Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt. Last night, before having dinner, Abbie and I had fro-yos as appetizers. She had the Simply Tart flavor, which is 'soury' the way she likes her yogurt, with Rainbow Sno-Cap toppings. I, on the other hand, had the plain Boysenberry flavor. Even teased the lady server if it tasted like paint but somehow it turned out nice. Now, I'm a fan of Boysenberry.
Golden Spoon is located at Unit 105 Gateway Centre, Paseo de Magallanes, Makati City.

Mesa – Filipino Moderne
I've been hearing about this restaurant eversince Abbie went there for a college get-together. All I heard from her was "Cripchon" this, "Cripchon" that. So we decided to go there for our Pre-Valentine's, Pre-Anniversary dinner-date. It's usually pre- or post- for me when it comes to Valentine's Day. Never did I went out on the very day.
She made the reservations in my behalf. Good thing she did, cause when we got there, the waiting list was already up to sixteen! For real.
I didn't like the seats given to us but being a Friday before Valentine's Day, you can't complain. The place was cozy. The hostesses were nice & friendly and they know what they're selling.
After eyeing the menu for a couple of minutes, we ordered. Number one, 1/6th Crispchon (P799), of course. And it was actually Crispchon not Cripchon. We got half the face of a roasted pig! For the first part, the pig skin was sliced into thin strips and then rolled in pandan crepes with some veggies plus sour cream and hoisin sauce as dips. Yum! All this was done in front of you. For the second part, the rest of the Crispchon were stir-fried in your choice of flavor, we chose chili. Number two, Tinapa Roll Wrapped in Lettuce (P135). Bad choice. Number three, Sinigang na Ulo ng Salmon (P180). Good but we had better. Final choice, Baked Scallops with Garlic Butter (P190). Über yum!
Prices were relatively cheap except for the Crispchon which can go up to P3,999 for a whole roast pig. Overall, we will definitely have a comeback.

Run for your Life!
Early this evening, I went for a stroll going towards Abbie's workplace. This time, I walked on the other side of Paseo de Roxas and stumbled upon a small park located at the corner of this road and Makati Avenue. I haven't really seen the park up close so I decided to walk through it. First impression, if New York has Central Park, Makati has Ayala Triangle Gardens.
A definite plus for a park, it was well lit. Clean and smells fresh. Close to a hundred of runners, joggers, walkers and dog walkers were present. Like a fiesta at night. Security guards roam the park freely, so you feel safe. Free Wi-Fi, on limited access.
This inspired me to go back to running. Tuesdays and Thursdays, after work. See you at the Triangle 🙂

I Remeber When …….
I admittedly am not old enough to really be uttering those words, but in today's world it seems that my country and in some cases my own party have left me. I look around the world around me, my city, my church, my state and my country and fail to recognize things that I once thought were normal.
Once upon a time the people in this country strived to be the best they could be. People worked to make the best for their family and their communities. Churches and communities took care of their own. If someone in the church had a problem (i.e. lost job, house burned, sickness) the people in the church took care of each other. Before medicare and medicaid people some how survived. I am not sure how but they did it, Amazing.
Insurance has not always been available. Once upon a time you paid for what you bought. There was no credit bureau and you paid for medical expenses as they happened. I am not so naive to think that those things could still be possible with the way the world is today. But really if you have been to a hospital lately do you really expect that a Tylenol cost $10. Insurance is part of the problem we could throw in law suits and the government.
I once believed that the enemies of our country lived outside of our borders. I know that the "reds" were here in the 50's but that is not the enemy we have today. Our country is now under attack from small time dictators from 3rd world countries. We have religious zealots who have corrupted their own religion and now have (and have had for a while) declared war on the US. For those of you who have forgotten they have attacked our country twice already.
My biggest fear is that the leadership of our own country is setting us up to be destroyed. Our President and the leadership of the Senate and Congress are forcing bills and laws down our throat that will eventually lead to our destruction. The Cap and Trade bill is nothing more than a new tax to shut down our energy production as well businesses that depend on things like oil, gas, and coal. Basically the early projections are that gas will get to $6.00 a gallon and our home energy cost will go up 70-80%.
So as I sit here tonight I wonder what will be left of my country. What will my kids find waiting for them in 20 years if we don't stop the misplaced ideals and neediness of our countrymen. People need to wake up and smell the coffee before it is to late. Hopefully we can make a change soon, but I am afraid 2010 is not soon enough.
There is so much more I would like to say, but I feel that will have to wait for another posting.

El Borbollon
Smooth mouthfeel, toffee sweetness, orange acidity, with notes of milk chocolate, currants and vanilla and a lingering caramel finish.
The Alvarez family have been growing coffee in El Salvador for over 100 years and across four generations. Their award-winning farms are located on the lush, green hills of Santa Ana, in the west of the country, where the rich volcanic soils and mild climate provide ideal conditions for growing specialty coffee. The beans which together make up El Borbollon, come from two small farms – La Reforma and Santa Maria. They are hand-picked and collected in traditional hand-woven baskets from December until March by pickers who have been specially trained to select only the best and fully mature coffee cherries.
Finca La Reforma and Finca Santa Maria were established by Rafael Alvarez Lalinde in 1892 on the rich, humid slopes of the Santa Ana Volcano. Originally from Colombia, Don Rafael immigrated into the region, bringing some of his best coffee seeds with him to begin a new legacy for coffee production. Four generations later his decedents still own and manage this pair of small neighbouring famers – originally part of this initial farm, which was broken up for inheritances – on the fertile slopes of the Santa Ana volcano.
The Alvarez Diaz brothers are the fourth generation to farm coffee in this exceptional region. Following their father's footsteps, both farms to this day are planted solely with Red Bourbon variety coffee trees, demonstrating the family's commitment to quality in the cup, even in the face of El Salvador's recent struggles with coffee leaf rust, to which Bourbon trees are particularly susceptible. The family is experimenting with orange and yellow Bourbon, but plant to only stick with this single varietal.
The trees are cultivated under native shade, which improves and conserves the soil and provides habitation for birds and are managed according to a stringent pruning schedule that maintains the health of the trees and improves their resistance to diseases and insect damage. The excellent growing conditions and the commitment to sustainable growing practices has helped the family to harvest high quality coffee consistently.
Unlike many estates in El Salvador, El Borbollon has its own wet mill and drying mill which means they are able to control the quality of their coffee from harvest to export. This is quite unique in El Salvador; most farms currently rely on external wet and dry mills to get their coffee processed. As a result, the Alvarez family is able to separate and process its coffees by variety and picking day, and is able to more closely monitor quality control and influence the quality of the end product.
The El Borbollon mill is managed by Eduardo Alvarez, whose father (also called Eduardo) bequeathed to him a passion for growing coffee and inspired him to always strive for the best possible quality. Under Eduardo's direction, the mill has increasingly accessed specialty markets and has provided key technical assistance and guidance to the farms with which they work. This hard work and advocacy has enabled many of these farms to be placed in the Cup of Excellence competition. Of the 15 high altitude farms with which El Borbollon works, 10 have won places in the Cup of Excellence competition. 4 of these, including La Reforma, have have the CoE Presidential award for achieving scores in excess of 90 points.
Eduardo manages activities at the mill to complement the natural potential of the coffees that he and other farms in the region produce. All their coffees are pulped without water and then fermented for 16-20 hours. The coffee is then washed in clean, fresh water to remove all traces of mucilage. The parchment coffee is moved to the mill's expansive clay patios, where it is slowly sun-dried and regularly turned by hand.
Clay patios are traditional in this region, and Eduardo prefers them to the more modern concrete patios as clay is endothermic (absorbs heat) and, thus, very good at regulating temperature. Coffees dried this way dry very slowing (a minimum of 9 – 10 days) and evenly. Eduardo's experience has shown that the longer the drying time, the better the cup, and the mill has even been experimenting with increasing the drying time further through partial sun drying for small lots, where the coffee is placed on area of the patios that only receives 4-5 hours of sunlight a day.
This meticulous attention to detail shown at every stage of production – from harvesting to wet milling to cupping – has enabled the family to survive the many struggles that the coffee industry in El Salvador has suffered in the last 2 decades and has also inspired neighbouring farms to invest in the quality of their production. According to Eduardo, there is no other option – coffee runs – 'in his blood' and he and his family could never leave it, so this is the only way forward. However, as El Savador's coffee industry and production continue to diminish in the face of coffee leaf rust and lack of governmental support, efforts such as his may prove to be critical to the survival some of the most notable coffees that Central America has to offer. His son certainly things so. The third consecutive Eduardo Alvarez, 29 years old, has recently joined the company as Operations Manager and looks forward to carrying the torch through the sixth generation!
The Alvarez family's farms and mill offers considerable social support to local communities and have recently been working with a local NGO to help tackle child malnutrition in rural communities. The Alvarez family offer considerable support to local communities, with schools for children aged from five to 15 years and health clinics provided free on their farms.
This lot is a wonderful mix of the best pickings from late in the harvest (May/June). It is has a lovely balanced and well rounded cup profile, with notes of cooked fruit, candied orange and dark chocolate, and intense caramel sweetness. Perfect for espresso.

What is more exciting than a vacation? Going home!
I have not been on vacation for the last five years, more like on a spiritual journey. God has brought me through loneliness, PTSD, a c-section, a miscarriage, several moves, making new friends, having a home birth, and many other things, some stressful and some joyous.
I am closer now to God than ever before. He didn't need to prove himself to me, but he has. Over and over again.
And now after 5 years I am going home!
I have been dreaming of the things that need doing once we arrive. And I would like to share my ideas.
1. In Oscoda I learned that gardening can be fun and I enjoyed the fruit of my labors. We have a bunch of old fence pieces our Tennant said he would dispose of and never did, so I decided to build a garden box. A really big one. And prepare for spring now while cleaning up the back yard.
2. The 2nd bedroom needs a coat of paint and I am going to start readying it to be a boys bedroom. Caeden wants it to be dragon themed.
3. Currently we have no beds for the children to sleep on, for a few weeks we will give them their mattresses from the 5th wheel and then a friend has offered us their guest bed, and Caeden and Fia will share that while Patrick and I make them some bunk beds that convert to two twin beds. Once they are finished I will put one in Sapphira's room and one in the boys room and move Micah in with Caeden in his pack 'n play until he is big enough for a big boy bed, at which point I will build a canopy bed for Fia.
4. Begin collecting used furniture that will fit the style and size of our home si we can return the things borrowed from our friends.
5. When we bought our home there was a large tree stump in the front yard. It was ugly and I wondered how we could get rid of it, but then it started to grow. I tended it the first year we lived there trimming back the branches that stretched towards the house but leaving those that stretched toward God. Today it is a giant tree but only a little taller than the house. So I am going to tend to its branches some more. There are also some bushes in front of the house that Patrick and I have always thought were not right. So I plan to remove them and make some flower boxes to put in their place.
Overall I plan to beautify my home and make it a haven. There are other things we plan to do as well, like replace the roof, but that isn't something I personally can do so it isn't detailed here.
I can't wait to get started on these projects!

Kate Winslet Chopped Off Family Friend's Ear
Kate Winslet gave up her dreams of becoming a hairstylist after accidentally cutting off a piece of a pal's ear.
The Titanic star thought she had what it took to become a professional after cutting her own hair as a teenager to save her family trips to the salon, but one bad snip made her realize she wasn't cut out for styling.
"A family friend, who was a fully-grown man, allowed me to cut his hair and I cut off a piece of his ear," the actress revealed during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. "I actually saw it fall… It was a little nick, not a chunk."
Revealing she had never told the story on TV before, Kate explained she often bumps into the guy when she's back home in Reading, England.
"I'm like, 'Where's the missing bit, Mick?', and he says, 'That's my claim to fame…' He's proud of his little missing bit of ear."

Giving Coffee a Break
|Samurai Chai Mate
I've always been a fan of tea but have only enjoyed it on under the weather occasions. Recently while going to the mall I had stopped into a Teavana a few times to see what they had to offer and found myself really liking this tea. After ordering it a few times I decided to purchase some. Since then I have had a cup or two every day. I'm definitely looking forward to buying some more. By the way the German Rock sugar is a great alternative to sugar.

Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics
Guiding Consortium for the Development of TCPS Guidelines For Research Involving Aboriginal People
In 1998, Canada's three federal granting agencies – the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) – adopted the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS) as a common statement of research ethics policy for the conduct of research involving humans in institutions funded by CIHR, NSERC or SSHRC. The TCPS has since been formally adopted in some 80+ university-based institutions across Canada. It is also used by some governmental departments and non-government organizations.
In 2001, the three federal granting agencies created the Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) as a body of interdisciplinary experts to provide independent advice on the development and further evolution of the TCPS. PRE is supported by an interagency Secretariat on Research Ethics (SRE).
Even before the establishment of PRE, it had become increasingly evident that the provisions of the TCPS for research involving Aboriginal Peoples (especially Section 6) warranted attention. New local, regional and international norms for research in Aboriginal communities have begun to emerge. For instance, in the five years since the adoption of the TCPS, a number of Aboriginal communities have enacted local research ethics protocols and standards. New and varied research initiatives involving Aboriginal Peoples, moreover, require more robust ethical guidance. Mindful of these needs, and in concert with the initial views of the three federal granting agencies and representatives from Aboriginal communities, PRE has designated the revision of Section 6 as a TCPS priority in its work plan. The Consortium is being convened to address this priority. [Statements describing each member's interest in this initiative may be added. See Appendix A]
This Consortium is created to collaborate with and provide guidance to the Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics (PRE) in the development of guidelines for research involving Aboriginal Peoples. The process should draw on the evolution of research ethics in local Aboriginal communities and stimulate mutual and respectful exchange of knowledge between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal research environments. PRE will recommend the resulting guidelines to CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC for incorporation into the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS).
Members of the Consortium agree to uphold the following principles in their work:
The Consortium membership shall be representative of the diversity of the research community and Aboriginal Peoples. Membership will be for three years, and shall be composed of :
The founding members of the Consortium include PRE, the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), Métis National Council (MNC), Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami (ITK), Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC), Congress of Aboriginal Peoples (CAP), and the three federal granting agencies. The full complement of members will be determined by the founding members at the first meeting of the Consortium.
Observers & Ex Officio: The Consortium may invite observers and special guests to participate in its meetings. A policy on ex officio members may be developed.
Chair: The representative of the Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics ( PRE) will serve as Chair of the Consortium.
Decision Making Process
Consensus & Quorum: Unless the Consortium members decide otherwise, decisions will generally be achieved by consensus. Quorum for the Consortium will consist of representation of three (3) Aboriginal organizations, two (2) federal granting agencies, and the PRE representative.
TCPS Policy Process: Through the Consortium process, PRE and its collaborators will strive towards common ground on TCPS policy issues, and respect one another's views in doing so. Consensus views of the Consortium will be reflected in PRE's draft and final recommendations to the Agencies. Deliberative analysis and debate will often, but perhaps not always, yield consensus. Respectful and meaningful engagement of Aboriginal Peoples further means that PRE will honour the integrity of their views—whether they converge, parallel, or diverge from those of PRE or others. If their views or positions cannot be adequately accommodated in PRE's TCPS recommendations on a particular issue, then either the recommendations will be deferred or the positions and their underlying rationales will be portrayed accurately as dissenting positions or alternative policy options. Through such participation, the views and values of Aboriginal Peoples will advance sustainable human research ethics guidelines for the TCPS.
Meetings and Calendar
Members of the Consortium will strive to conclude this initiative within three years on the basis of an agreed work plan. The Consortium will normally meet at least twice annually.
Roles and Responsibilities
The roles, responsibilities and functions of the Consortium members include the following:
PRE will convene a Technical Advisory Committee on Aboriginal Research (PRE-TACAR) made up amongst others of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal persons involved in Aboriginal research to advise and otherwise assist in researching and analyzing issues and drafting policy documents for consideration by PRE and the Consortium. Joint meetings of PRE-TACAR members and the Consortium may be scheduled as required.
An interagency staff working group composed of staff from the Secretariat on Research Ethics ( SRE), the three federal granting agencies, and Aboriginal organizations will be convened to support implementation of the work plan as required.
Subcommittees of the Consortium may be established as required.
Each member of the Consortium shall liaise with his or her respective corporate entity, providing progress reports and soliciting feedback. The Consortium will report on a regular basis to PRE.
Operational support of the Consortium will be provided by the Interagency Secretariat on Research Ethics (SRE).
Contributions and Costs
Each member organization will cover the costs of its own participation in the Consortium unless agreed otherwise.

Historically, one of the biggest challenges faced by chefs, restaurant owners and hotel managers has been the lack of training beyond culinary skills that exists in this industry. Chefs escalate up through the ranks in brigades very quickly and suddenly find themselves in senior positions without the necessary commercial skills to successfully manage their kitchens – both financially and operationally. The skill gap that is often present puts huge pressure on chefs to learn new skills quickly and on the job. This formed the basis in which Kitchen CUT was developed – to create a platform where chefs could easily manage their food costs, store their recipes and menus, and also have a place to access consultancy topics and advice on a range of issues facing any chef in the kitchen.
The team's extensive knowledge of the industry and how chefs works really shows through in this fantastic website that's geared directly at working chefs who take a hands on approach to kitchen management. I believe it's a vital tool to helping chefs structure and run their kitchen.
Tom Kerridge, Hand & Flowers
Working in partnership with Michelin starred chef John Wood, TBD helped to shape the overall concept of the business – taking what was a very focused and unique idea for automated recipe calculation into a much larger online commercial application.
Starting back in 2011, conversations were had, brainstorming , and development took place. years of development and testing, Kitchen CUT allows chefs of all levels create, cost and store their recipes and menus online. Ongoing ingredient price updates allows chefs to track and manage their food cost effectively, ultimately driving food cost down and raising overall gross profits.
Added consultancy tools and template downloads provide hospitality professionals with everything they need to run a modern day kitchen.
The business launched in 2012 and quickly positioned itself apart from any competition. Accuracy, reliability and sophistication has always led Year 2 saw a big increase in site traffic with the launch of Version 2, increasing to 202%. Overall awareness within the industry has grown significantly with daily sign ups occurring from all over the world. Key clients include: The Doyle Collection, Whiting & Hammond, Mercure, JMF and Goodwood to name a few.

The new crop of DSLRs are great at recording video, but editing the resulting files can be a chore. iMovie / Windows Movie Maker do an ok job, but if you want full control over quality you'll need something more powerful, like Adobe Premiere (Express) or Sony Vegas Pro. And if you want smooth editing, you'll need an intermediary codec…It gets expensive, time-consuming, and annoying if all you want to do is quickly share something.
Most of the time, all I want to do is chop the start/end off a video and upload it without losing too much quality. I've finally found a way to do this pretty quickly, at a high quality, for free, and without too much fuss. It works fine with video direct from my 7D, so I assume it'll be fine for the 5D Mark II and the 550D. You'll need two freeware programs: Avidemux and Handbrake.
Avidemux can directly cut out a section of video without reprocessing it1.
- Open the .mov video file in Avidemux. You'll get a message about B-frames, asking whether you want to use a safer mode. I say no to this, and everything works fine.
- Drag the slider to the start of the section you want to extract, then click the A button on the lower toolbar. The black/white dial on the right hand side works well for getting just the right frame – the further you drag the red line from the equilibrium point, the faster the video will play.
- Drag the slider to the end of the required section, and click the B button. The section should now be highlighted in blue, as in the screenshot.
- On the left side, make sure Video and Audio are set to 'Copy', and the format to 'AVI'.
- That's it – 'Save video' (include the .avi extension in the file name) and it'll directly copy the extract to a new file.
Check the video plays, then fire up Handbrake.
Handbrake is the best compression tool I've found. The resulting video is – to my eyes – indistinguishable from the original, but at a fraction of the size.
- Open the newly-produced file in Handbrake, either by dragging+dropping or from the 'Source' menu.
- In the Presets list, select 'Normal'. This will produce a file of the same dimensions as the original (Flickr video users: see note and fix below). You can play around with the settings, but I've found that the defaults work very well.
- Set a file name in 'Destination'
- Hit 'Start'
Handbrake will presently pop out the resulting file. Check it plays, then you're ready to upload to wherever.
In my experience this works fine for Vimeo and YouTube, but Flickr needs an extra step during compression. My 7D produces HD videos at 1920 x 1088, and Flickr seems to object to the 1088 – it conks out with a 'BONK! This video cannot be processed' error. It works fine if the video is 1920 x 1080, though.2.
Happily, Handbrake can chop out the extra 8 pixels: after you've set the 'Normal' profile, change the 'Cropping' option to 'Custom'. Set the Top and Bottom to 4, and you should see 'Display Size' change to 1920 x 1080. You're throwing pixels away, though it's hard to imagine many circumstances where 8 lines make much difference. If it does, you could play with the settings and squeeze it instead.
This works for me using Avidemux 2.5.2 and Handbrake 0.9.4. I don't know anything about Nikon video formats, but I'd expect they'd be similar enough.
- VirtualDub with various plugins can supposedly do this, but I can't get it to work [↩]
- I haven't tried it with 720p videos, but if you get an error it could be because the video isn't using standard dimensions, and the above fix, suitably altered, will work. Alternatively, it might be that 1920×1080 is the max. size Flickr accepts, in which case you'll be fine at 720p [↩]
