Fernando & Paula Vieira purchased this cottage in 2006
Quinta de milhafres was named after two couples of black kites (milhafres in portuguese) that chose the place as their habitat. It is a privilegied location of these birds of prey watching, whose similitary with the northern goshawk (açor in portuguese) is the origin of the archipelago's designation.
Quinta de milhafres, a 11,500 sm area from the regional road to the sea, was once property of the district governor João Francisco Medeiros de Bettencourt . Chroniclers regist the presence of this portuguese noble family on the island since the 18th century. Vila franca do campo museum is located in botelhos manor-house, owned by the same family, which reveals its economical and political outstanding position.
Acquired by its current owners in 2006, the manor house is recent (1995) built in the place of a former factory of chicoria, vegetal used as coffee substitute.

Bus in front of the gate of the property.
We had a great & relaxiong time on your beautiful island.
Quinta de Milhafres offered us a relaxing home port. Thanks for the organic grown tomatoes & figos.
The local beaches are a must. Ask Fernando & Paul of the 250 step beach. Private & scenic.
We loved the beaches of Água d'Alto & Ponta de Pirâmide.
Lagoa das Furnas, Sete Cidades & Mosteiros are lovely excursions but the lasting impressions of São Miguel are ones of friendly, hospitable, warm & genuine people. The peaceful nature of it's people should be emvlated worlwide.We will take this back home with us.

The hosts were lovely and the gardens were very beautiful. However the place itself was dusty and dirty, the bed sheets were smelling, actually the entire place smelled very very badly, the towels smelled as dump after first usage (we had to wash them twice), the place was cold (no central heating, just two electric radiators). On top of everything, we found a moulded wooden spoon in the cutlery drawer.. Also, there is no cleaning or towel replacement service, or even just a garbage disposal. You'll have to do that yourselves. Totally disappointed. Would not recommend.
Fernando and Paula were so nice and helpful. We had a family emergency and had to shorten our stay in the Azores, and they let us come a few days early on very short notice. They had a lot of great information for us when we arrived and even some yummy welcome treats. The house is perfect for two. The front area down by the coast is SO beautiful!! The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the living area was nice. The house is in a great location too. We were very pleased with our stay here!
Perfect for two, with stunning views out to the ocean, with a beautiful garden. A true taste of the Azores
Great Hosts. They provided information regarding the island, what to see and do and where to eat. The location is central to all parts of the island. The property is peaceful with great views of the ocean. We hiked every day, Furnas hike, Sete Cidades and Lagoon hike, Lagoa Do Fogo (best), Salto Do Prego (beautiful waterfall). Restaurants were great, Ponta Do Garajau, Restaurant Associacao (best steak) and Atlantico (no credit card). Many viewpoints and bathing areas along the island, best to wear a swim suit all day. The hosts also provided us with tomatoes, eggs, bananas, and cucumbers. Kitchen was fully stocked with needed utensils. Thank you for sharing your property.
Fernando and Paula were incredibly kind and helpful hosts providing everything we needed to start our visit and even meeting us upon an early arrival. They gave us great tips on where to visit and eat - the latter proving to be excellent suggestions we hadn't heard of. The house was very clean, had hot water, and a kitchen with all the basics. The view from the edge of the property is phenomenal and the garden makes for a great place for star gazing. This location is perfect for visiting both sides of the island while being outside of the city.
First...a shout out to Paula and Fernando who opened up their home and made us feel like honored guests. They are so kind. You can tell that they have a passion for meeting new people. We did have some problems finding the rental, not due to the map, but because we weren't used to streets that are marked with street names on the buildings and change names so frequently. You are so busy making sure you don't get hit or hold up traffic it is hard to spend time looking for street names! Fernando was kind enough to stay on the phone and guide us in from the city center. Once there, though, it was easy to get around!
Second, what the pictures fail to show is how lovely the property is! The views are amazing. You can walk all the way down to the ocean, although it is steep! And the bottom is quite rocky. The rental itself is a standalone unit on their property so you have privacy.
Ribeira das Taínhas is a quiet scenario, near Vila Franca do Campo, the first capital of São Miguel. In the borderline of the Atlantic Ocean, one can contemplate the waves moving, always new, and always majestic.
The three major beaches located nearby offer excellent bath zones and the ideal conditions to surf - Calhau d'Areia (500m), Vinha d'Areia (3 km) and Água d'Alto (5 km).
Unique pieces of "louça da vila" can be found in the pottery shop of Mestre João Rita, in Vila Franca do Campo. The handicraft is made of red clay, non-glazed, objects used until very recently in the day-to-day lives of the locals.
One of the most emblematic Natural Reserve is located in Vila Franca do Campo municipality: the islet.
Choose Quinta de Milhafres as your starting point and discover:
Lagoa do Congro (6,5km) is a lake of green limpid water surrounded by dense forest.
Lagoa dos Nenúfares (7km) is a lake fully covered with water lilies;
Cerrado dos Bezerros (18 km) is a park with a wide range of flowers and plants species.
Thermal Water Spring in Furnas (20km) are authentic natural spas - Fonte da Dona Beija and the pool of Terra Nostra Park.
Festivals - Vila Franca do Campo:
May (Easter Sunday) – São Miguel Feast, an homage with over 400 years of history. Its highest moment is a procession in honour of work and which presents the range of professions and social classes brought to the island during the settlement period – as brick men, carpenters, shoe men, fishers, liberal professions and many others.
24th of June – São João Feast has its highest moment in the popular parade on the main streets. The dancers with colourful costumes, about 700, march at the sound of popular music, showing creative routines built upon local traditions.
Campaign SOS Shearwater
From October 1st to November 15th, the young shearwaters (night bird that builds its nest on Vila Franca do Campo Islet) leave their nest to their first transatlantic flight. Due to the artificial lights, they lose orientation and become easily car-hit victims.
The campaign SOS Shearwater has being held since 1995 and its mail goal is to engage people in the bird rescue when they are found in the roads on nearby.
Night brigades, guided by specialists, cover the coastline of the municipality searching for young shearwater birds in danger. Everyone can join this initiative and for that one must enrol as a volunteer at the municipal services.
In the 2013 campaign, 6915 young shearwater birds were rescued.

By BRENDAN COLLINS, core faculty in the East-West Psychology and Integral Counseling Psychology departments. Collins is also the co-director of the Chaudhuri Center for Contemplative Practice, Interreligious Dialogue, and Social Justice at CIIS.
Today a doctoral student in our East-West Psychology program, Dave Odorisio, sent me a link to an article in the New York Times on Columbia University's new concentration in spiritual psychology, the first time an Ivy League university has offered a master's degree integrating psychology and spirituality.
CIIS was mentioned as already teaching from a "similar perspective" (the reference to the Institute of Transpersonal Studies was actually an error—the reference should have been to ITP, now known as Sofia University); but CIIS has pioneered in the integration of psychology and spirituality for over 40 years; no university has been doing it longer or more comprehensively.
I appreciated the distinction made by Julie Exline, president of the APA's Society for the Psychology of Religion and Spirituality, who pointed out that Columbia's (and CIIS') approach to psychology and spirituality is very different from that offered by faith-based schools, and it is rare in academia.
The most wide-ranging approach to the integration of psychology and spirituality at CIIS is actually in the School of Consciousness and Transformation, particularly in East-West Psychology, because there are limits to how much spirituality can be formally incorporated into the curriculum of license-eligible clinical degrees. In our clinical programs the spiritual component is typically, and notably, embodied in the teachers (and students). Still, I believe it is possible to make spirituality even more explicit in our clinical training programs (as we are doing in the Mindfulness and Compassion in Psychotherapy certificate offered through CIIS Public Programs & Performances).

Carnival in Lucerne Switzerland
Party at the Carnival in Lucerne Switzerland
Lucerne, located in Central Switzerland, embedded in on the shore of Lake Lucerne (der Vierwaldstättersee) and within sight of Mount Pilatus and Rigi in the Swiss Alps, is all and by itself a top destination for tourists. Its cultural offerings include the Lucerne Culture and Congress Centre that is home to the is home to the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra, the Museum of Art Lucerne and besides other goodies one of my favorites is the The Swiss Museum of Transport on the shores of the lake.
Now that we got all that taken care of, here is another top attraction the most popular Carnival in Lucerne. The next carnival ("Fasnacht") begins on 8 February and ends on 13 February. As described in Wikipedia: Every year, towards the end of winter, Carnival (Fasnacht) breaks out in the streets, alleyways and squares of the old town. This is a glittering outdoor party, where chaos and merriness reign and nothing is as it normally is. Strange characters in fantastic masks and costumes make their way through the alleyways, while carnival bands (Guggenmusigen) blow their instruments in joyful cacophony and thousands of bizarrely clad people sing and dance away the winter. Lucerne Carnival starts every year on the Thursday before Ash Wednesday with a big bang. There are big parades on Dirty Thursday and the following Monday, called Fat Monday, which attract tens of thousands of people. Lucerne's Carnival ends with a crowning finish on Fat Tuesday evening with a tremendous parade of big bands, lights and lanterns. After the parade, all the bands wander through the city playing joyful music.
Behold its normaly cold that time of the year in Central Switzerland so get dressed appropriately, but know there are many good restaurants or even street bars open that serve hot beverages like the famous cafe luz (Lucerne Coffee) that is coffee with schnaps (so much, that the coffee is clear, its said you must be able to read a newspaper trough it) and dont miss the great food like you get in many places as well.
As long as your in this part of the world see also our page and images from the Swiss Rigi region nearby a good choice for another tour and day.
The attached photos where taken at the Carnival in Lucerne a couple years ago, enjoy:

In a refreshing bit of candor, a California regenerative medicine firm yesterday said it was having little luck with its funding pitch to the state's $3 billion stem cell agency and was withdrawing its proposal.
The firm is Cesca Therapeutics, which is based in the Sacramento suburb of Rancho Cordova and also has offices in India. The publicly traded enterprise researches and develops cell-based therapeutics.
In a press release today, the firm reported the bad news about its application for funding
"aimed at supporting implementation of its FDA approved Phase III pivotal clinical trial for critical limb ischemia."
The announcement said,
"The company anticipated CIRM's evaluation of its application to be concluded during the second half of the month of November. However, preliminary feedback provided in advance of a formal funding decision has cast significant doubt over the prospects for a positive outcome and, as a result, the company has withdrawn its current application."
|Robin Stracey, Cesca photo
Robin Stracey, Cesca's CEO, said,
"We feel compelled to revisit those elements of our plan that appear to have given CIRM reviewers cause for concern.
"Given that we are in the process of gearing up a significant number of sites to begin enrolling patients in a trial that would cost over $20 million to conduct, we need to quickly digest the feedback and address the questions raised. We expect to spend the next several weeks re-validating and/or amending select elements of our plan, with a particular focus on the anticipated rate of patient enrollment, the overall timetable and the design of the statistical plan. Having said that, we remain very excited by the prospects for our program. We believe the science to be sound and the clinical results so far very compelling. Nevertheless, there may be opportunities to refine our approach. It is imperative that we get it right."
The decision by Cesca fits with the CIRM 2.0 effort launched by Randy Mills, president of the California Institute for Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), as the stem cell agency is formally known. Mills initiated the program in an effort to speed money to researchers and to boost the quality of applications. That means that applications are examined rigorously early on and often sent back for more work, a significant departure from past practices.
It is unusual for publicly traded companies to announce financial difficulties involving their projects, even though federal law says public firms must disclose major financial events that investors should know about.
The review process at CIRM is conducted behind closed doors. The agency does not release information about issues raised at this stage and also withholds the names of applicants for taxpayer cash.
The firm's stock price closed at 59 cents today, up six cents. The 52-week range runs from 48 cents to $1.24.Sphere: Related Content

Lot # 453 (of 1641) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1933 R319 Goudey #211 Hack Wilson - PSA NM-MT 8
Starting Bid - $500, Sold For - $1,422
Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Extraordinary high-grade example of Hall of Famer Hack Wilson from the 1933 Goudey series. This 1933 Goudey #211 Hack Wilson has flawless colors and a very bold image, and is centered a hint towards the top right. The corners are sharp, showing just the slightest hint of wear under magnification. The card is perfectly clean both front and back. Of the 407 1933 Goudey #211 Hack Wilson cards graded to date in the entire history of PSA, only six examples have ever graded higher! (All PSA MINT 9; there are no PSA 10s.) In 1930, his finest season, Hack Wilson set two legendary marks. His 56 home runs were a National League record that stood until 1998, when Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa both shattered it. Nevertheless, the single-season record that still stands from that year was his RBI mark of 191. Though contenders for the record have come close, no player has gotten within 25 RBIs of the mark since 1938. This is an extremely high-grade example of one of Wilson's most desirable cards. SMR value for the assigned grade is $1,500. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000+.

BERLIN, May 28 (Reuters) - A Nazi war criminal who escaped from a Dutch jail and lived as a fugitive in Germany for 60 years has died at the age of 90, the Simon Wiesenthal Center said on Monday.
Klaas Carel Faber, number two on the Center's list of most wanted Nazi criminals, was sentenced to death in 1947 in the Netherlands for the killings of at least 11 people at a staging post for Dutch Jews being taken to concentration camps.
His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment but he escaped in 1952 and fled to Germany, where he became a citizen and had lived since 1961 in the Bavarian town of Ingolstadt.
He had long resisted attempts by his native Netherlands to extradite him and died shortly before prosecutors in Ingolstadt were preparing to detain him, said Efraim Zuroff, head of the Israel office of the Simon Wiesenthal Nazi-hunting group.
"The decision was imminent. We know the state prosecutors in Ingolstadt supported sending Faber to jail to serve the rest of his life sentence," Zuroff told Reuters.
It was the second death this year of a top Nazi criminal. John Demjanjuk, a retired U.S. engine mechanic, died in March aged 91 in Germany. A Munich court convicted him in 2011 for his role in the killing of 28,000 Jews as a Nazi death camp guard.
Zuroff said Faber, a member of the Dutch SS, had killed at least 24 people, many of them at the Westerbork transit camp, from where Dutch Jews were taken to concentration camps in the Netherlands, Poland and Germany.
Victims included Jews and Dutch citizens who had tried to hide and protect them, he said.
Faber's older brother Piet, also a member of the SS, was shot by a firing squad after the war.
Dutch efforts to extradite Faber were frustrated by a German law from 1943 that prevented extradition of German nationals for war crimes.
A state court in Duesseldorf ruled in 1957 that it had insufficient evidence to try Faber. But following the high-profile Demjanjuk trial, German prosecutors reopened investigations of Nazi-era crimes.
Local media reported that Faber died in a hospital in Ingolstadt on Thursday.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center's most wanted Nazi war criminal is Hungarian Laszlo Csatary, 95, who is accused of helping organise the deportation of more than 15,000 Jews to the Auschwitz concentration camp from the Slovakian city of Kosice in 1944.

Four years ago, our District started a new tech journey. We knew there was great potential when we gave all 6th-8th graders their own iPads, each 3rd-5th grade class received five iPads to share, and we added a third iMac computer lab at La Entrada. As students and teachers continue to integrate technology into their lessons, the "4 C's" are coming alive:
- Communication: Students are using apps like Schoolloop, Google Apps, Google Translate, Educreations, iMovie, to show and explain concepts to other students and their teachers.
- Collaboration: Students share their work via Google Drive and use Air Play to project their ipads to the Smartboard for all to see. Third graders are creating educational videos using Educreations to teach each other and model concepts.
- Creativity: Students are creating content incorporating a variety of media such as slideshows (Keynote and Google slides), movies (iMovie and Educreations), essays (Pages and Google Docs), and art (Photoshop, iDraw, and Google Draw).
- Critical Thinking: With online assessments like Kahoot, Google Forms, Edmodo, Socrative, and Nearpod, teachers get instant feedback on student surveys and quizzes.
In the lower grades, the teachers teach the Common Core State Standards of "create engaging audio recordings of stories or poems that demonstrate fluid reading at an understandable pace" through technology. Students regularly record themselves reading and implementing metacognitive strategies, use the Dictionary.com app to learn a word's definition and to hear how it is pronounced, and create QR codes full of video and voice recordings to complement their written work.
Thanks to the La Entrada Mac lab, today students are knee-deep in transformative elective offerings. Forget 2D…students are designing and printing 3D objects! Students enjoy using professional animation tools such as Maya and learning new languages like Python, Javascript, HTML and Java to introduce the basics of computer science and programming.
Student-run broadcasting uses industry standard tools such as iPads and Final Cut Pro X to produce school news shows that highlight events, activities and the learning taking place in classrooms all over the school.
Where to next? As we discover more about educational technology's potential, we continue to explore other tools and methods that promote student learning. Chromebooks are being explored in the other two labs as well as ways to make the learning space more conducive towards brain-based learning. "Makerspaces" or "Fablabs" are also getting a lot attention for their potential to promote creation, invention and learning. It's an overwhelming time, but with constant reflection and collaboration, we can make it the best time.

Contrary to previous report which hinted that the rumoured 5.5in iPhone might see some delays, Bloomberg is now reporting that Apple's two new iPhone models – a 4.7 inch model and a 5.5in model – will launch at the same time. What's more, production is expected to begin sometime next month.
The new iPhones will also be rounder and thinner than previous models, said one of the people. Production of the 5.5in model is more complicated than the smaller version, resulting in lower production efficiency that must be overcome before manufacturing volume can be increased, said the person.
Apple is developing new iPhone designs including bigger screens with curved glass and enhanced sensors that can detect different levels of pressure, Bloomberg News reported in November. Called 2.5-dimension glass, the material lets manufacturers taper the edges of the screen where the bezel meets the frame of a smartphone.
Of course, the rumour mill isn't always 100 percent dead-on so these rumours, should, as always, be taken with a grain of salt. Still, it's a safe bet that Apple this year will finally roll out iPhone models that can compete with larger screened Android devices. To that end, it'll be interesting to see how the market reacts given that larger displays have long been a key differentiating factor for Android handsets. With that advantage set to be diminished, perhaps Apple's iPhone will see a noticeable uptick in marketshare.
On a related note, Reuters earlier this week relayed a report from the Taiwan-based Economic Daily News which claims that Foxconn will be hiring a record 100,000 employees to help with iPhone 6 production.
Hon Hai Precision Industry will recruit over 100,000 people in mainland China to produce the newest iPhone from Apple Inc, Taiwan's Economic Daily News said, in what the report called the firm's largest single hiring spree in China.
Fellow Taiwanese contract manufacturer Pegatron Corp will expand its workforce in one mainland factory by 30 percent, also in response to expected high demand for the new iPhone, Economic Daily News said on Monday.

Mackay gets 'new' cafe: The Grazing Goat
MORE options will be available now that the Paleo Cafe on Wood St has shut.
The franchisee of Mackay's Paleo Cafe, Michael Harris, confirmed he had decided to part ways with that company and rebrand.
Paleo Cafe was opened on Wood St in March 2015; Paleo enthusiast Pete Evans even visited the store in 2016.
The new cafe The Grazing Goat will open on Wednesday, February 15.
The menu will still include Paleo food but give residents other options too.
"It's giving more flexibility in the menu," he said.
"I'm going to put some vegan options on the menu as well to try to cater to everyone, including people with food intolerances."
Diners will be able to choose from a selection of breads whereas before they were restricted.
"Because we don't do grains at Paleo and grain-free bread is not everyone's cup of tea," Mr Harris said.
"We still want to provide tasty food that's healthy. All our sauces, dressings... are made in-house.
"There's no processed products."
These days people are more conscience of what they are eating and what ingredients are in their meals.
"More and more people are becoming gluten and lactose intolerant," he said.
"Young kids, 4 and 5, are coeliacs too."
Mr Harris said he believed the Paleo way of eating would still be popular though.
"I'm of the belief that the Paleo name was going to have a shelf life but the way of eating... cutting out processed foods, sugar and dairy that style of eating won't go away," he said.
"I think people have cottoned-on to the fact of what's in our foods is causing a great deal of health issues."

Obama looks to scale up ISIS fight in Iraq, Syria
President Barack Obama
President Barack Obama said Tuesday that he was looking for ways to scale up the battle against militants in Iraq and Syria ahead of a White House meeting with top U.S. military brass.
The planning session on combating the terror group was not expected to yield major shifts of strategy.
"We continue to take on their leadership, their financial networks, their infrastructure," Obama said before conferring with combatant commanders and the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
The President cited coalition efforts to block the highway between two cities where ISIS has gained strongholds, Raqqa, Syria, and Mosul, Iraq: "We are going to squeeze them and we will defeat them."
Before of the meeting, U.S. officials told CNN that one idea for ramping up the ISIS fight would be to send additional U.S. Special Operations forces into Syria, though the notion had not yet morphed into a full-blown option for consideration at the White House.
The U.S. has so far authorized up to 50 special operators to work in Syria training moderate rebel forces battling ISIS.
In Iraq, the United States must get permission from the government for action there, narrowing the options for major shifts in strategy.
Obama was expected to take several of the commanders' thoughts on fighting ISIS under consideration after Tuesday's meeting.
During his brief remarks before the session, Obama said he was intent on cutting off ISIS' ability to coordinate attacks from its headquarters.
"We can no longer tolerate the kinds of positioning that is enabled by them having headquarters in Raqqa and Mosul. We've got to keep on putting the pressure on them," he said.

Thanks to student protesters this college is now a cult compound where students will be brainwashed or marginalized.
A cult compound is a risky venture from a purely economic standpoint. Colleges are in trouble because they are too expensive and students are getting wise to what a huge debt-burden will do to their lives.
Yet that is exactly what the University of Missouri has become in response to student protestors. According to Campus Reform,
Trending: Trump Drops His Strongest Language Yet Regarding Mueller Probe
Still reeling from last year's student protests, the University of Missouri took action this week on two more diversity demands, hiring a chief diversity officer and requiring students to complete diversity-themed courses.
The College of Arts and Science at Mizzou announced Wednesday that undergraduates will now have to complete three credit-hours of "diversity intensive" (DI) courses in order to graduate, saying the courses will focus on "understanding differing social groups" and "will explore at least one form of social inequality, broadly defined."
The new "Chief Diversity Officer" is getting paid over a quarter million dollars. His full title is "Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer."
The College of Arts and Science accounts for over half of Mizzou students. Campus Reform says that over ten thousand students are enrolled there—though some are graduate students who won't have the requirements imposed on them, yet.
So now a state school has made itself even more useless. Students will not get a better education. No matter what a person's race is, no one is going to become a better engineer, or computer programmer, or doctor by completing three hours of a "diversity intensive" course.
These courses are notorious for being platforms for attacking the conservative values of students and pushing a Marxist agenda. When these courses were elective, conservatives could decide to avoid them and prevent a great deal of suffering. But now such courses are required at Mizzou. The students that refuse to be brainwashed will be made to feel very uncomfortable.
Hopefully, colleges that decide to transform themselves into cult compounds will be the first to go out of business.

True Activist
The world's food supply has drastically changed in the last few hundred years due to diverse agricultural methods and man-made attempts to tame the land.
But with the advent of conventional growing methods, soil quality has depreciated, and now most modern, manufactured food can no longer be deemed health-promoting, as greed for profit and mass production has turned wholesome, nourishing fare into franken-foods. Such products are laden with preservatives and chemicals, additives which have been shown to be inflammatory-causing and toxic to the human body.
In effect, the world is in a paradox: advanced technologies may be more prevalent than ever before, but the health of its people continues to decline. No longer is it famine or plague contributing to degenerated health, but the treatment and cultivation of food sources essential for the existence of mankind.
Source: Kickstarter.com
But life-promoting food can be cultivated, and most importantly, obtained from quality sources. Therefore, it is essential that optimally grown food be sought out. These 7 standards are signs you are consuming food that not only supports your best health, but the rest of the world's as well.
1. Grown without Pesticides, Chemicals, and Fertilizers
The Organic Consumers Association has shown that over 4,000 different carcinogenic (Cancer-causing) chemicals have been found in the packaging of processed foods. Many of these chemicals have been found to be hormone disrupting and contribute to depressed health.
Choose food that has been grown without these additives and free your mind from the worry of contracting common diseases that are linked with poor food choices.
2. Organic, Non-GMO
Mercola proudly speaks out against genetically modified foods, and for good reason. As shared in-depth in this article, GMO foods are unpredictable in the way the interact with the body, contribute to the loss of bees, have been shown to cause many health issues (tumors, premature death, organ failure, liver damage, kidney damage, allergic reactions, and more), contain less nutrition than organically grown foods, and are horrendously toxic to the environment.
Go Organic, grow your own food, and check the stickers on produce to ensure you are not obtaining your food genetically modified.
3. Contains NO Added Growth Hormones, Antibiotics, or Other Drugs
Recombinant bovine growth hormone (rBGH) is a synthetic hormone marketed to dairy farmers to increase milk production in cows. Although approved by the FDA in 1993, there are considerable concerns regarding its use and the dangers it poses to not only the cows treated questionably, but the humans who consume their products.
Human studies are still inconclusive in mainstream media, but other sources indicate that the consumption of rBGH increases the risk for breast and other cancers. Cows injected with the bovine growth hormone have been confirmed to develop adverse health effects, as well.
Avoid foods that have been treated or injected with any form of hormone, antibiotic, or other drug for optimal health.
4. Does Not Contain Artificial Ingredients or Preservatives
The packaged food industry thrives off of the artificial ingredients and preservatives used to enhance packaged cuisine's color, flavor, and shelf-life. But in no way are these life-extending additives beneficial for the consumer's health.
Many artificial ingredients, colors, and flavorings have been shown to be carcinogenic (Cancer causing), be hormone-disrupting, induce reproductive issues, enhance ADHD and other behavioral issues, cause tumors in rats, contribute to fatty arteries – which is a contributing factor to heart disease, and cause neurological problems.
Advice? Skip the packaged, sugary, and refined foods. Opt for naturally produced, organically grown snacks, and take care of your health in the present to avoid catastrophes later on.
Credit: SustainableTable
5. Fresh
High-vibrational and quality food is fresh. That means consumption as close to the time of picking as possible is optimal for peak health. It has been shown that within 4-5 days, 10-25% of Vitamin C levels are lost in fruits and vegetables stored in the fridge – not even considering the amount lost while being shipped weeks before being stacked in supermarkets.
Either grow your own, obtain from a local and fresh source, or always choose the freshest looking produce you can find in your grocery store. Another option to consider is to buy organic, frozen vegetables which have been frozen hours after picking. This retains a valuable amount of vitamins and nutrients, and extends their life-giving properties.
6. Did Not Come From a Factory Farm
If you want quality food, be sure to obtain it from pure sources. This means choosing to consume animal products that are sourced from local, organically raised, and/or wild-caught sources. The more loving and natural environment they were raised in, the healthier such cuts have been shown to be for human consumption.
7. Grown Sustainably
For food to be of quality, it needs to have been grown sustainably. Sustainable growing methods ensure that less CO2 is produced through processing, shipping cross-country, and/or utilizing harsh chemicals and fertilizers. It also means the soil stays bio-dynamic and full of minerals – an essential for high quality produce to be cultivated.
Most sustainably grown oftentimes at Farmers Markets or in the organic section of your produce market, as well as in your garden. A good sign you're on the right track is if your dusty radish is handed over with a smile from the farmer who dedicated his or her time and love to grow such high-vibrational produce.
If your food aligns with these 7 standards, you can be optimistic it also supports your most vibrant health. And if you believe food can be an essential preventative factor in reducing healthcare costs and lessening the high mortality rate related to dietary and lifestyle choices, share this article.

Google Maps is certainly a go-to app when it comes to finding relevant business locations and getting directions.
Let's say a woman working in healthcare in New York flies out to Denver on a monthly basis to meet with a client. She is leaning back in a desk chair in her New York office, iPhone in hand, searching for a hotel in Denver with the new Google Maps update – just two weeks before her business trip.
Disappointment with the service at the hotel she stayed in last month, she scans through the map, looking for a new hotel close to her client's office. While searching, she notices the hotel from last month and decides to write a review, sharing her below-three-star experience, which she can share a little easier because of the Google Maps update.
The Updated Google Maps
On the updated Google Maps for iPhone and iPad, it has become easier for customers to write reviews of local businesses. All they have to do is click on the amount of stars they want to give a business (this option is located under the review summary) then Maps asks the reviewer to write about their experience. The review is shared publicly in an instant.
Released early this month, the new Maps allows users to view their My Maps on the app, and includes a Google Street View thumbnail in addition to easier review writing.
From restaurants to doctors' offices, Google Maps' features include giving users the option to schedule a reservation through OpenTable and request an Uber. The app also provides users with the ability to filter results by ratings.
Moreover, Google released an Explore feature for Maps in July of last year, which shows top-rated restaurants in the area. Users can choose where to go based on time of day. This month, the Explore feature of Google Maps was updated for Android. Users in New York City, San Francisco, and London now get curated recommendations from Google Maps.
Maps' Explore feature will also recommend places based on where users have been to in the past.
What the new Google Maps means for businesses
Why is the Google Maps update important? For starters, review signals make up 8.4 percent of how a business will rank in Google local search results, according to a recent local search rankings study by Moz. The amount of reviews a business has plays a fairly important role in how easy it is for users to find a business in Google search results.
"Lots of positive reviews matter," Matthew Hunt, full stack marketer and a partner at Powered by Search, writes in a commentary.
Implementing a review management strategy will help show those stars next to a business name by helping grow an organization's number of reviews to more than five on Google.
"It will make a big difference in your ranking and clicks," Hunt adds.
The "quantity of native Google reviews" is the third factor of importance in Google's Snack Pack results, according to the Moz study.
Because it's easier for your customers to write a review on Google Maps, it's becoming even more important to manage reviews for your business success, since these reviews have a direct impact not only on search rankings, but also on consumers' purchase decisions.
The fictional woman sitting at her desk in New York City may not be so fictional; she represents today's on-the-go consumer with a truly mobile lifestyle. Make sure your business has a review management system in place to increase the chances that someone – maybe like the New York City woman – will check your business out on Maps. Then you can show them what makes your business truly extraordinary.

|Reviews for Spin Me Around
| flowers in december chapter 9 . 1/19/2012
Ohohohoho~ I just loved it.
I'm going through and reading all of your shit, I trust that you won't mind very much as long as I review and don't creep you out with it. I very much enjoyed these characters as well, and the pairing. I tend to have a thing for the assholes, kinda understand their sitches, y'know?
Keep 'em coming. You're an excellent writer.
| A-Crimson-Memory chapter 9 . 8/28/2011
Oh grr you just can't stop it here! -.- and omg Elliot! He's definitely the real life Emmett! Haha especially when he said "big nelly bottom" I knew exactly what episode he said that in too! I was gonna review each chapter but on some I didn't have a lot to say and others i had lots! But then I'd figure i would just review here! Since I've watched QAF I sort of know where your story is going unless you totally catch me by surprise and change up the whole plot! Taylor is Taylor so I guess there won't be that romance thing that Jamie wants and nor will Taylor ever admit he doesn't mind a boyfriend. Please finish this story I would really love to know what's next.
| A-Crimson-Memory chapter 5 . 8/23/2011
Awe sugar! He bought sugar. There's that secret care that Taylor has for Jamie. He'll never admit it but he cares. I mean he took him back a second time to fuck so that has to mean something!
| A-Crimson-Memory chapter 4 . 8/23/2011
Oh my goodness! Drew's mom is like Debbie from Queer as Folk haha! You gotta love her though right? :) yes! I read the last few chapters while I was at school so I couldn't review them, but omg this story I'm totally in love with because QAF was by far my favorite tv show! And the fact that you wrote a story based off of it I love you forever :P
| BlueMoonlily chapter 9 . 1/18/2011
I'm sorry I usually review for every chapter but I'm reading this on My iPod touch and it's just a bit awkward to write reviews . honestly I love this story and I can't wait for you to write more. I hope you do soon because it's pretty addicting lol *hearts*
| BlueMoonlily chapter 2 . 1/18/2011
hehehe i love this story already lol
| kosmich chapter 9 . 12/8/2010
I'd would definitely like to read more! I like the characters, but I hope that their relationship doesn't get too cheesy and lovey-dovey, because Taylor doesn't seem to be that kind of a person, even if he breaks his rules and gets into a relationship with Jamie. keep the tension and Taylor's struggle with falling in love till the end, pleaase? :D I hate it when stories that have great tension in the beginning turn so mushy and over-romantic in the end...it's a personal pet peeve of mine. but yeah, so far I really like the story. :)
| pretensions chapter 9 . 12/7/2010
taylor can't stop thinking about jamie. clearly they are meant to be together!
thanks for sending me a message earlier. :) i'll just continue to hope that the story and these characters naturally lead you to a happy ending.

So this "week" was really short since I just wrote on Wednesday, but we were able to see a couple of miracles. First of all, we had the baptismal interviews with Roy, Amalia, and their kids... they passed =) The other miracle was that we were in a house and it was kinda late so I felt like we should get going to be able to get home on time, we started walking and after a few minutes a lady started talking to us. She talked about how she felt like God had abandoned here and how she felt really bad, but commented that she had a friend that had given her a book of mormon and said that if she ever wanted to give up on life that she should look up the church and so when she saw us she decided to talk. Yesterday she went to church =) She is really excited to learn more and things are looking really good =)
Yeah, so things are going well, this month and next month we should have several baptisms. So keep praying, I want to see more miracles =)
Remember to pray for missionary opportunities!!!
Love you all!

Welcome back and Happy New Month!
buy generic accutane online cheap Thank you so much for all your wonderful comment on the blog hop post! Unfortunately my blog had a mind of its own and I was unable to get notifications by email. I believe I replied everyone one way or the other and if I didn't, I apologize.
Where were we?…Yes, I was telling you about my crazy experiment with trying to up size Jen's wonderful pattern because making the small one just wasn't enough! I decided to multiply all the given dimensions…I mean if you want to double numbers you multiply by 2 isn't it? Turns out it isn't as simple as that with quilting maths.

Unable to Perform
A man, getting along in years, finds that he is unable to Perform sexually.
He goes to his doctor who tries a few things, but nothing seems
to work.
Finally, as a last hope, the doctor refers him to an African medicine man.
The medicine man says, "I can cure this."
With that said, he throws a white powder into a flame, and there is a flash with billowing blue smoke.
Then the African medicine man says, "This is powerful healing but you can only use it once a year. All you have to do is say '123,' and it shall rise For as long as you wish!"
The man then asks, "What happens when it's over, and I don't want to continue?"
The medicine man replies, "When your partner can take no more sex and is completely satisfied, all she has to say is '1234', and it will then go down".
But be warned, "IT will not rise again for another whole year."
The old gent rushes home, anxious to try out his new powers.
That night he showers, shaves and smothers himself in aftershave.
He slides into bed, cuddles up to his wife, and says "123" and suddenly he has got a massive stiffy, just as the medicine man promised.
His wife turns over and asks,.
"What did you say '123' for?"

I needed a bit of a gee up on my build from Possum ( which I got) we all looked at my new track links for Chally.
Mr B got to see the incredible finish on Possums M3a3 ( including full interior ) and just how far the Chieftain build has come so far.
Possum just got bugged by the pair of us but did offer tea and sympathy.

The lyric:
And the sign said, "Long-haired freaky people need not apply." So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why. He said, "You look like a fine upstandin' young man. I think you'll do." So I took off my hat and said, "Imagine that. huh , me workin' for you."
The message: "You as a potential employer have no right to have your own rules as to the conduct or appearance of your employees. My right to the job you offer trumps your right to choose the public image you wish to present to your customers. I will dress as I want, groom myself or not as I want, and you owe me a chance at your job no matter what – because I'm worth it!"
Whoa, sign, sign. Everywhere a sign. Blockin' out the scen'ry. Breakin' my mind. Do this. Don't do that. Can't you read the sign?Pure poetry, isn't it? The lyric:
And the sign said, "Anybody caught trespassin' will be shot on sight." So I jumped on the fence and I yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you the right To put up a fence to keep me out, and to keep Mother Nature in? If God was here, he'd tell you to your face, 'Man, you're some kind of sinner.'"The message: "I am entitled to go anywhere I want, even if it inconveniences you as a property owner. I have as much right to your property as you do. And despite people in the Bible owning and even being given their own property, because I think so, and because my opinion is so important to everyone, you are a sinner and God agrees with me."
The lyric:
Now, hey you, Mister, can't you read? You got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat. You can't even watch. No, you can't eat. You ain't supposed to be here. The sign said, "You've got to have a membership card To get inside." Uh.The message: Similar to #1 above. "My feelings, desires and wants translate into my rights, and they trump yours." The lyric:
And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in. Kneel down and pray." But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a penny to pay So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign. I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."The message: "I am so self-important that God is impressed with my writing a note telling Him I am fine, and He might not have known it if I had not written that note. My thinking I am fine is important to Him – even more important than whether or not I am considerate of others' rights and feelings, because I am the center of all things."
As per Nicky's comment below, the original author probably intended it as a biting social commentary. And I was young and foolish once, and in 1971 I probably agreed.

Shutterfly inks deal with CVS/pharmacy, Walgreens
REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — Shutterfly customers looking for more in-store pickup options can look no further than CVS/pharmacy and Walgreens.
Same-day, in-store pickup is available at any Walgreens or CVS/pharmacy store location with a photo center. Customers can order 4×6 prints at Shutterfly.com and designate in-store pickup at any Walgreens or CVS/pharmacy stores — as well as Target stores — by selecting their preferred retail location using the store locator map at checkout.
"At Shutterfly, we are constantly looking for ways to make it easier and more convenient for our customers to store, share and print their photos where they want, when they want," said Jeffrey Housenbold, president and CEO of Shutterfly.

Supervalu reports losses for Q2, adjusts guidance
MINNEAPOLIS A labor dispute at one of its banner stores, employee-related costs and an impairment charge attributed to a net loss of $1.47 billion for Supervalu in its second quarter, compared with earnings of $74 million last year, the company announced Tuesday.
Total net sales for the second quarter were $8.7 billion, the retailer said, compared with $9.5 billion. Second-quarter retail-food net sales were $6.7 billion, compared with $7.4 billion last year, a decrease of 9.7%, primarily reflecting the impact of same-store sales of -6.4% and previously announced market exits, Supervalu noted. Excluding Shaw's, which was impacted by a labor dispute settled early in the quarter, same-store sales were -5.9%.
The intangible asset impairment charges totaled $1.516 billion after tax, or $7.16 per diluted share.
"Our sales performance continues to reflect a difficult operating environment. As the company moves into the next phase of its business transformation, we remain focused on our customers and taking actions that will better meet their needs. I remain confident that we have the correct strategy in place to achieve long-term success," said Supervalu president and CEO Craig Herkert.
Supervalu adjusted its guidance from $1.61 to $1.81, as the retailer now expects a net loss in fiscal 2011 in the range of $5.94 to $5.74 per diluted share.
Commenting on guidance, Herkert stated, "It will take longer than originally anticipated to realize the benefit of the marketing, merchandising and operational initiatives that we continue to build upon. Accordingly, we are adjusting our guidance to better reflect this outlook."
Target officially unveils Kodak photo kiosks with Facebook connectivity
MINNEAPOLIS Target shoppers now can enjoy social network connectivity at in-store Kodak picture kiosks.

With more than 500 million users and 3 billion photos uploaded to Facebook each month, Kodak picture kiosks enabled with social network connectivity give Target guests a convenient way to easily print online photos in stores.
"Kodak has always been a leader in innovative photography solutions, and Target is proud to be the first mass retailer to offer this creative solution nationwide," said Mark Schindele, SVP merchandising at Target. "We know our guests are increasingly sharing their photos online, and Kodak Picture Kiosks with Social Network Connectivity allow them access to their favorite photos along with the convenience of printing the images during their regular Target shopping trip."

Honda Produces 20 Millionth Automobile in North America
Honda produced its 20 millionth automobile in North America based on January 2009 production totals to be released this week. Honda began local auto production in 1982, in Marysville, Ohio.*
The production of 20 million cars and light trucks in North America was achieved through the ultimate in teamwork by our suppliers, business partners and dealers working together with Honda associates to create joy for our customers, said Tsuneo Tanai, president & CEO of Honda of America Mfg., Inc. and head of Hondas production operations in North America, covering the U.S., Canada and Mexico.
In a letter thanking the more than 34,000 associates working in the companys manufacturing, sales, marketing and R&D operations in North America, Tanai said: Most importantly, we owe our deepest appreciation to our customers, as none of our accomplishments would be possible without the loyalty they have shown to their Honda and Acura products.
Consistent with Hondas commitment to produce products close to the customer, more than 77% of all Honda and Acura vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2008, were produced in North America- a total of 1,421,427 units. Further, 11 different models are produced exclusively in North America- the Honda Accord Coupe, Civic Coupe and Si, Civic GX natural gas vehicle, Odyssey, Pilot, Element and Ridgeline and the Acura TL, MDX, RDX and CSX (Canadian exclusive model).
Honda has four U.S. automobile plants in Marysville and East Liberty, Ohio; Lincoln, Alabama; and Greensburg, Indiana; two plants in Alliston, Ontario, Canada; and a plant in Jalisco, El Salto, Mexico.
In addition to the 20 million cars and light trucks, Hondas cumulative North American production of automobile engines exceeds 18.4 million units, mostly in Ohio and Alabama, with automatic transmission production now exceeding 13 million units at plants in Ohio and Georgia.
Honda currently partners with more than 620 North American suppliers, including 545 in the U.S., and purchased more than $19.5 billion in parts and materials from its North American suppliers in 2008.
Honda also continues to grow its automobile export program, including both finished vehicles and component parts sets, such as Hondas U.S.-made engines and components sourced from U.S. suppliers. From the start-up of automobile exports in 1987 through 2008, Honda exported 922,668 vehicles made in North America to world markets.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the establishment in 1959 of American Honda Motor Co., Inc., Hondas first overseas subsidiary. Honda began U.S. motorcycle production in Ohio in 1979, and U.S. automobile production in 1982. The company has invested more than $10.6 billion in its North America operations, including 16 major manufacturing facilities employing more than 34,000 associates, to produce Honda and Acura automobiles, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercraft, lawn mowers, general-purpose engines, and other power equipment products.

Mattie McGrath in war of words with C&C over workers' future
Workers at the Bulmers plant in Clonmel are being treated in a 'high handed and dismissive manner' by owners C&C, claimed South Tipperary TD Mattie McGrath this week.
Deputy McGrath, who became embroiled in a war of words with C&C in the last week over the future of workers at the Clonmel plant, said morale among the workforce was at an all time low.
Following a statement issued by Deputy McGrath last week expressing shock that twenty five of the workforce were going to be involuntarily let go, C&C responded by stating that no redundancies have been announced or planned at Bulmers.
Deputy McGrath followed that statement with another voicing concerns that the 'company spin' was a far cry from the reality of the situation at the Clonmel plant.
In a statement the company acknowledges that it is in on-going discussions with employees and unions regarding the alignment of employees' hours with seasonal demands.
C&C say there may be temporary seasonal lay-offs in the quieter period from January to February.
The company says it is committed to the Bulmers site in Clonmel and have recently made a significant investment in a new craft brewery at the plant.
That C&C statment followed comments made by Deputy McGrath in which he slammed senior board members of the C&C Group for reneging on commitments given to him around the security of its workers jobs at the plant in Clonmel.
He said that up to 25 full time staff were to be involuntarily let go in the New Year.
He accused the company of making a concerted effort to reduce the workforce in Clonmel despite repeated assurances that this was not the case.
In response to the C&C statement, Deputy McGrath said he stood over his original statment.
He said he never mentioned redundancies,but did state that twenty five workers were to be involuntarily let go.
"Now they are saying that these twenty five workers may be involuntarily let go on a temporary basis
"The workers who have come to me are speaking of their genuine despair
The layoffs are, as I said last week, completely involuntary.
There was no meaningful engagement on this issue before it was presented to the workers.
In fact the workers were stunned because they had been given assurances that a period of 'industrial peace' was secured following agreements earlier in the year" said Deputy McGrath.
"I know it to be factually true that the workers are bitterly disappointed by the treatment that has been handed out to them over the course of the last year in particular.
I have rarely heard of such a consistently high handed and dismissive approach to workers concerns as I have heard from those workers in Bulmers who have come to me about this issue.
Morale at the Bulmers plant is as low as it has ever been.
At the very least C&C need to engage with the remainder of their existing workforce in a manner that respects the rights of staff to be treated with fairness", concluded Deputy McGrath.

Members of the small Christian community caught between the Israel-Gaza border are seeking refuge in bomb shelters as the Hamas-ruled Gaza strip has already experienced at least 1,000 Israeli air strikes intended for Palestinian rockets and rocket launchers.
National Catholic Register's Michele Chabin reports that, in Israel, more than 350 Palestinian rockets have hit areas where Christians live within the last few days.
The conflict between Israel and Hamas has intensified dramatically in the past month in the wake of the kidnapping and murder of three Israeli teens who Israel claims were killed by Hamas operatives. On July 2, the day following the funeral of the teens, a Palestinian teen was murdered, apparently by Jews seeking to avenge the deaths of the Israeli teens.
Subsequently, rockets were then launched into Israel, which, in turn, retaliated, and tensions have mounted significantly since.
According to the Register, Issa Tarazi, executive director of the Near East Council of Churches, said the airstrikes on Gaza "are affecting all Christians and Muslims; Christians suffer the same as all the other people of Gaza, the same threats and the same stress."
Approximately 1,000 Christians live in Gaza, Tarazi added, alongside nearly two million Muslims. He noted that electricity in the area is unreliable and people "are afraid to walk around" due to the airstrikes.
"Shops are closed, governmental offices and NGOs (non-governmental organizations) and the private sector are closed," he explained, adding that many homes have been destroyed and many people have been forced to flee their homes.
Tarazi said he has asked the international community for food, medication, and medical supplies, as well as assurance that the border between Gaza and Egypt remains open. Egypt's government has kept the border generally closed recently because it opposes Islamic fundamentalism.
Father David Neuhaus, patriarchal vicar for Hebrew-speaking Catholics in Israel, said Christians are suffering "even though they are not targeted for being Christians," as is occurring elsewhere in the Middle East.
According to Judith Sudilovsky at Catholic News Service, Christians are working together to try to keep each other safe during the escalated hostilities.
Father Jorge Hernandez, an Argentine member of the Institute of the Incarnate Word, related that one night, after a bomb siren sounded, he assisted three nuns of the Sisters of Charity in evacuating 20 handicapped children from their home to his.
"We had to carry all the children in our arms," Hernandez told Catholic News Service. "There is no space in my house, so we laid down blankets on the floor and put the children there."
Israel states its airstrikes, which began July 8, are targeted at the homes of militants and that it provides warnings to all civilians to leave their homes prior to attacks.
Nevertheless, there are reports of some civilians climbing on the roofs of houses to act as human shields. Nearly half of the more than 100 Gazan dead are civilians, including women and children.
According to Hernandez, three Gaza neighborhoods had been warned to evacuate, but safe areas large enough for all the residents are non-existent. Instead, he said people seek safe shelter in government- and U.N.-run school buildings.
"Everything is so close there is no place for them to go," he said. "They are 100,000 people who have been told to leave, and then there is the problem of food and water for them. It is an enormous problem."
Hernandez also said that Hamas is very strong in Gaza, a fact that "makes people afraid that if the conflict continues for a long time – which it looks it will if someone does not come and stop it – there will be popular reaction against the Christians, as they have seen happen in other conflicts in the region."
"When [the militants] see they are threatened and are going to lose, they usually go against the weaker segment of the population," Hernandez explained.
According to the Register, the Justice and Peace Commission of the Assembly of Catholic Ordinaries in the Holy Land were highly critical this week of the selective media coverage of the fighting, adding that the faces of some of the victims of the conflict "are well known because the media have covered their lives in detail…whereas others – by far more numerous – are mere statistics, nameless and faceless."
The Catholic Ordinaries asserted the "selective coverage, mourning and memory are themselves part of the cycle of violence," and they prayed that "those who have fallen recently will be the last to die violent deaths in this escalation of hatred and vengeance."
The leaders also charged that those in positions of power "remain entrenched, not only unwilling to enter into any real and meaningful process of dialogue, but also pouring oil on the fire with words and acts that nurture the conflict."
