DPD delivers tournament footballs across Europe
Aschaffenburg, 14 December 2005 – adidas has extended its cooperation with DPD by a further two years, taking it up to 31 December 2007. Under this contract, DPD will deliver approximately 1.5 million adidas parcels per year from Germany to the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and Germany. The contract also covers a tailor-made return management system and forwarding bulk goods in Poland.
Charles Prussky, Head of Warehousing & Distribution at adidas, says that DPD was chosen because of its international expertise and the positive long-standing working relationship between the two parties. "We are looking at a major logistic challenge during this exciting football year. Therefore we need a partner we can fully rely on. DPD have repeatedly demonstrated their high standards and flexibility by recording punctual delivery rates of over 95 percent, both domestically as well as internationally."
Last weekend, DPD delivered 17,500 parcels with the new adidas "Teamgeist" ball to sports retailers in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Benelux. During the already busy Christmas season, more than 1,500 German DPD employees pulled together for a special night shift last weekend to make sure the balls were ready to go. On Saturday, DPD delivered more than 14,500 parcels to 1,700 sporting good retailers in Germany and in the Benelux, Switzerland and Austria with a punctual delivery rate of 99.7 percent.
Hans Fluri, CEO of DPD and member of the general management of GeoPost with responsibility for GeoPost's operations in Germany, Switzerland and the Benelux, says about the extension of the cooperation with adidas-Salomon: "We always work hard to be a reliable and flexible partner to our customers. We are very pleased that adidas has rewarded us with a two year extension of the partnership. We will keep combining our local competence with our international network capabilities to offer the highest quality service to adidas."
Bratislava, 15. decembra 2005 – Adidas predĺžil spoluprácu s DPD o ďalšie dva roky do 31. decembra 2007. Na základe zmluvy doručí DPD približne 1,5 milióna balíkov adidas ročne z Nemecka na Slovensko, do Českej republiky, Rakúska, Švajčiarska, Poľska, Maďarska, Slovinska, ako aj v rámci Nemecka. Zmluva zahŕňa aj na mieru šitý tzv. return management systém.

Aschaffenburg, 16 November 2005 – In future DPD GmbH & Co. KG will be led by a two-man management team: Hans Fluri (53) and Arnold Schroven (50), the existing chairman of the supervisory board, will take charge of the company as joint CEOs with equal responsibilities. This means that the franchisor, as a leading provider of parcel services in the European B2B sector, is reducing its management team from five members to two in order to reinforce its direct reporting processes. Paul- Marie Chavanne, Chairman of DPD's majority shareholder GeoPost SA., will become chairman of the supervisory board. All five previous management team members have taken major responsibilities within the GeoPost international structure – this shows the internationality of GeoPost.
The new structure has now been unanimously approved by the supervisory board of DPD GmbH & Co. KG at its recent meeting. The two-man team of Fluri/Schroven is regarded by the supervisory board and the parent company GeoPost SA as a dream team, because the two managers complement each other perfectly. While Arnold Schroven knows the company down to the last detail as a result of his 13 years with DPD, Hans Fluri brings in his management experience with top international companies such as Kraft Foods and Philip Morris. In February 2005 he was appointed CEO of DPD GeoPost Deutschland, a post in which he is to continue. He was recently appointed a member of the five-person international board of the GeoPost SA group.
The previous management team will assume the following responsibilities:
Joint CEOs, shorter reporting distances and a slimmed-down organisational structure – with these changes DPD regards itself as ideally positioned to implement its ambitious plans: "We want to place the focus even more strongly on customer service locally, and at the same time push ahead with the development of our worldwide network in order to extend our position as an international specialist provider of CEP services", stresses new Supervisory Board Chairman Chavanne.
New cooperation begins with successful major project / DPD operates an extra shift to supply sports equipment retailers with the German national team's new strip and the "Predator" World Cup boot
Aschaffenburg, 15 November 2005 – adidas-Salomon AG has extended its cooperation with DPD by a further two years, taking it up to 31 December 2007. A contract to this effect has now been signed, specifying that DPD will deliver approx. 1.5 million adidas parcels on an exclusive basis from Germany to eight central-European countries ("Area Central"). At the weekend the new cooperation kicked off successfully with the delivery of 25,000 parcels with the German Football Association's official 2006 strip and the "Predator" World Cup boot to sports equipment retailers in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. The level of punctual delivery was over 99 %, with almost all parcels reaching the consignee right on time. Charles Prussky, Head of Warehousing & Distribution at adidas Salomon, believes that the smooth execution of this operation confirms that his decision in favour of DPD was the right one: "An excellent team performance, which will form the basis for our further projects together".
According to Mr Prussky the decision in favour of DPD was taken because of the parcel service provider's international expertise and the positive experience provided by the long-standing cooperation between the partners: "In view of the impending major logistical challenge provided by the 2006 football World Cup we need a partner on whom we can rely one hundred per cent. To achieve a punctual delivery rate of over 99 % against this background, and internationally, too, demonstrates DPD' high performance standards and flexibility."
The successful special shift for the delivery of the World Cup strips and boots is all the more remarkable in that it took place on a day when DPD also had to deal with its biggest inbound volume of the year, at no less than 1.539 million parcels.
The new contract applies to "Area Central" – covering the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Hungary, Slovenia and Germany. In addition to approx. 1.5 million parcels it also covers the forwarding of bulk goods in Poland and a returns management system for all the countries which are involved and developed specially to adidas specifications.
In the coming weeks DPD will be faced with further major challenges in relation to the World Cup, in particular the delivery of the official football to retailers.
Aschaffenburg, 8 November 2005 – As an international provider of parcel and express services DPD is now offering its DPD GUARANTEE product in Poland, Denmark, Austria and Finland (here initially import only). This means that international parcel transport with guaranteed delivery times is now available in a total of eleven countries. DPD GUARANTEE, which was launched as a cross-border service at the beginning of this year, enables customers to check on the status of their shipments at all times. The product also offers a money-back guarantee.
Germany's top parcel service provider for business customers developed DPD GUARANTEE because research had shown that companies were looking for a service which featured the speed and reliability of guaranteed parcel delivery, but without having to make use of an expensive express network. "Since the beginning of the year DPD has succeeded with DPD GUARANTEE in fully responding to new customer requirements", says Hans Fluri, CEO of DPD Geopost Deutschland.
This form of guaranteed delivery was rolled out at the start of the year in Germany, Switzerland and the Benelux countries, followed in the summer of 2005 by the Czech Republic and Slovakia. More countries will be added in the coming months, until customers will be able to take advantage of DPD GUARANTEE in nearly all parts of Europe.
Guaranteed delivery times vary in accordance with the route. For example, a DPD GUARANTEE parcel takes one day to get from the Netherlands to Germany, and two days from Luxembourg to Poland.
Hamburg/Aschaffenburg, 21 October 2005: In the presence of Hans Fluri, CEO DPD GeoPost Deutschland, awards have now been presented to the "junior sportsmen and women of the year" in Hamburg. DPD, the market leader among parcel service providers in Germany's B2B business, is acting for the second year in succession as sponsor for these awards, which are organised by Germany's Sports Aid (DSH) trust. Mr Fluri explains DPD's commitment to this cause by saying "These young athletes represent virtues which can benefit our country as a whole - dynamism, will power and team spirit". Every year the DSH organisation presents awards to especially talented sportsmen and women from the younger generation and promotes their careers with grants which have, since 2004, been partly financed by DPD.
The individual sports competition was won by Maximilian Levy, five-fold junior world champion in track cycling, ahead of Benjamin Kleibrink, junior world and European champion 2005 in foil fencing and Lena Schöneborn, junior world champion in the modern pentathlon. In the team competition the sword fencing junior world champions just made it ahead of the under-19 football world champions and the junior world champions in the sprint track racing team. The young sportsmen and women received their awards at the Hamburg Chamber of Commerce. The occasion for the presentation was a celebration organised by DSH.
"Those who achieve great things and work hard every day to reach their targets should be rewarded and supported - in sport just as much as in business", remarked Mr Fluri in his address. "Just like these young top-class sportsmen and women, DPD would never have become what it is today without the readiness to work hard, take risks and compete on the market."
Today's achievers promote the achievers of tomorrow - this is the principle which DPD also applies to its own promotion of young people. In the year 2005/2006 the company is training approximately 140 of the new generation entering the CEP (courier, express and parcel services) industry. For years now sports sponsorship at a regional level has been a regular component of the company's corporate philosophy, with the kinds of sport promoted ranging from handball and football to tennis.
The DSH nominations are based primarily on medals won at junior world and European championships, as well as outstanding successes at the Olympics or international record-breaking performances. From all the nominations a jury under the chairmanship of the president of the German sport federation selects the "junior sportsman or woman of the year" in the categories of individual and team sports. In addition special awards are made to disabled athletes and athletes with a hearing disability.
The overall success of past "junior sportsmen and women of the year" proves the high quality of the competition, and of the athletes who have been distinguished by the programme: the 27 winners who have won awards in the individual "junior sportsman and woman of the year" contest since 1978 have won a total of 246 medals at the Olympic Games or at World and European championships, including 122 gold medals.
Paris/Aschaffenburg, 17 October 2005 – Hans Fluri has been appointed a member of the international five-person board of management of the GeoPost SA group. Since February of this year Hans Fluri has been CEO of DPD GeoPost Deutschland, and his new responsibilities on the management board will additionally include the countries of Switzerland and Benelux. He has extensive experience in top management with major international companies such as Philip Morris and Kraft Foods, and has the reputation of being a farsighted pragmatist. "The success of DPD GeoPost on the German market is based on closeness to the customer and flexibility", stresses Fluri. "These features are an integral part of DPD's decentralised structure, and we intend to maintain and strengthen them to further strengthen our market position."
The focus is on the customer
Knowing exactly what local customers want and providing them with an optimum service remains DPD' primary objective on all its markets. This philosophy has made DPD the market leader in Germany's B2B business and accordingly one of the most successful companies not just in its home country but in Europe as a whole. Today the company's operations are managed by experienced and committed CEOs in more than 30 countries, backed up by a workforce of around 22,000 competent and highly motivated employees. "Our focus is on the customer – this remains the constant factor in all our activities", confirms Arnold Schroven, chairman of the supervisory board at DPD GmbH. "Both today and in the future the basis of our business success can best be expressed by the words ´Service for the customer! Simple, speedy and secure`."
Paul-Marie Chavanne, the CEO of GeoPost SA, Paris, is forging ahead with the expansion of the group's worldwide network. Mr Chavanne confirms: "As Europe's third-largest CEP operator GeoPost will continue to develop its international product portfolio in order to enhance even further the innovative and tailor-made services it can offer its customers."
Strength through innovation
The ability to respond flexibly to requirements has been a major feature in the success story of DPD, which has accumulated 30 years' experience in a constantly changing environment. As a result it today ships more than 1.4 million parcels a day in the service of over 200,000 satisfied business customers. Says Hans Fluri: "The key to this success is to be found in our workforce, which ensures with reliability and dedication day after day that DPD meets the quality promise it makes to customers."

Hagen, 18 July 2005 – Three million euros is the amount which DPD GeoPost (Deutschland) GmbH & Co. KG is investing in new sorting equipment for its Hagen depot this year. Jörg Lüdtke, CEO of DPD's Central West region says: "Of course with the opening of new EU markets Europe has not passed us by. It is the industry located in this region which is above all benefiting from these growth markets. As a result we have, in the past two years alone, registered average growth of 15 % a year. DPD has recognised this potential and is making the appropriate response. The amount to be invested represents preparation for the future challenges and opportunities which are presented by cross-border shipment."
The new state-of-the-art conveyor equipment supplied by the manufacturers Budde will, in future, double the depot's sorting capacity from its current 4,000 parcels an hour to 8,000 parcels an hour. At the same time the conversion will double loading capacity, with the number of loading gates rising from 26 to 52.
Depot manager Rüdiger Oberste-Berghaus says: "At our Hagen depot 50,000 parcels are currently processed and delivered to consignees every day, or picked up from consignors and then shipped all round the world. The improved capacity provided by this expansion work, the doubling of our gate numbers and the resulting increase in direct depot-to-depot shipments will enable us in future to achieve a considerable increase in performance and quality. Our customers will benefit directly from the substantially improved service provided by shorter transport distances and the considerable reduction in delivery times. In the long term this competitive advantage will provide us with satisfied customers and secure the basis of our business. This makes this project an important investment in the long-term securing of jobs in our region."
Safeguarding and expanding the employment base is also a clear priority for regional CEO Jörg Lüdtke. "Other companies are relocating or reducing the size of their operations in the region, but for us Hagen with its favourable infrastructure and excellent transport links will remain a top location for our logistics activities, both now and in the future."
At present the Hagen location employs a workforce of about 150 in the administrative and parcel handling sections. These are backed up by the system partners with their 75 delivery drivers. Mr Lüdtke adds: "And one thing is clear: in view of the continued increase in parcel volumes we will have to expand not just our technical facilities but also, in the medium term, the size of the workforce, so that we can meet rising customer requirements. For us there is every reason to look to the future with optimism: it's all systems go!"
Guests and artists use opening ceremony to discuss their own points of view and perspectives
Aschaffenburg, 7 July 2005 – On Thursday July 7 more than 400 visitors assembled at DPD's head office in Aschaffenburg to celebrate the opening of the company's latest DPD Art exhibition. The guests had the opportunity to put questions to the artists about their work and, very much in line with "Points of view and perspectives", the title of the exhibition, the artists were joined by representatives of DPD who explained the company's commitment to art. "We regard ourselves as a part of the region, and want to make our contribution to its cultural life", said Supervisory Board Chairman Arnold Schroven in his welcoming address. The paintings and sculptures stimulated considerable discussion among the company's business associates and customers who had been invited, together with DPD staff and their guests and of course representatives of the media in the region, with snacks and live music accompanying the lively exchange of ideas and opinions.
Artists working in different styles enjoy a shared platform
The spectrum of the individual works on show is a wide one and provides a wealth of material for discussion. This is exactly how Jean-Pierre Kresser, General Manager Corporate Communications, intends it to be. As he stressed in his own speech: "Diversity and open dialogue are just as deeply rooted in DPD's corporate culture."
Project Manager Sonja Eizenhöfer took pleasure in the coming together of such contrasts: "In a single, shared exhibition we have succeeded in expressing the points of view and perspectives of artists of the most varied inspiration." Ralf Edelmann's paintings and sculptures made of wood are youthful, irreverent and provocative – their impact often underlined by striking slogans. The landscapes by the artist AMEI which are on show have a partially narrative content, while Wera Schröner reveals her interest in architectural views and the interplay of colours and form. Jan Zwollicki captures people and everyday situations in an expressive manner.
What lies behind DPD's commitment to art?
With its regularly changing exhibitions DPD Art attracts a steady stream of visitors to the company's European HQ. "I've been to a number of these exhibitions and I find it fascinating to be able to ask the artists about their work. Normally you rarely have the chance to do this", says visitor Björn Hasse enthusiastically. The company's involvement benefits not just those who visit the exhibition but also the artists themselves, who are provided with a platform and an appropriate forum for showing their works. In addition DPD Art acts as a source of motivation for the workforce, says Jean-Pierre Kresser – after all, how many people can enjoy art right there at their place of work?

Deutscher Paket Dienst (DPD) invests in the Wilnsdorf location
Wilnsdorf, 20. Juni 2005 – In spite of the current economic situation – or perhaps because of it – the workforce at Depot 157 in Wilnsdorf now has to go on the offensive. Acquiring new customers for the DPD system and convincing our existing customers again and again of the reliability of DPD as a Europe-wide logistics partner – these are the challenges for the future.
The presentation of the plans in January 2004 made it clear that a new building would be needed. "In business terms it was no longer possible to put off the planned investment in Wilnsdorf as a location any longer", explains manager Jörg Lüdtke, who is responsible within the region for the depots of Essen, Wuppertal and Hagen in addition to the Wilnsdorf location.
With an investment volume of ten million euros the critical planning phase began in the summer of 2004. As a first stage a number of sites were inspected for their suitability. Mr Josef Nordmann, senior councillor for the municipality of Wilnsdorf, succeeded in providing the right arguments with regard to the choice of site. Accordingly it was thanks to his persuasiveness that the reservations of the responsible DPD team about a steep access road which could ice up in winter were overcome. The depot has since passed its first winter test with flying colours and the roads proved to be no problem. To make sure that things got as far as this, the Vollack company from Castrop-Rauxel in cooperation with depot manager Michael Ilberg and his team had to push ahead with the planning at full steam. "The achievement of Mr Hans Bretz and his team was really outstanding. To complete a project like this to such a tight deadline and with such quality represents an unbelievable performance", is how regional CEO Jörg Lüdtke pays his tribute. Bottlenecks in capacity and outdated technology are now finally things of the past.
After the investment had been approved by the French parent company GeoPost Central Europe GmbH, the construction work could begin on the 22,000 m² depot site in October 2004, with completion of the building work planned for the end of February 2005.
Accordingly at 08:00 hrs on Saturday, 26 February 2005, the first inbound parcel rolled across the depot's brand new sorting line. "Just to be on the safe side we chose a Saturday for the operational start", emphasises depot manager Michael Ilberg. "After all, it's always possible for something to go wrong, especially when you have new sorting equipment." Since the start of operations a workforce of about 130 process up to 30,000 parcels a day, covering the entire DPD product range.
Visitors hear the Mörsdorf success story
Mörsdorf, 9 June 2005 – Normally the evening shift begins at 21:00 hrs, but on Thursday, 9 June the parcel sorting work began an hour earlier. However, the DPD workforce at the hub in Mörsdorf were probably not too worried by the early start to the shift. On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of Hub 10 the staff of 58 wanted to show the numerous guests and members of the DPD management team how smoothly the handling and sorting of a large volume of parcels runs at Mörsdorf: "At the moment we have 56 000 outbound parcels per shift at the hub, and from the autumn it will probably be as many as 75 000", says Manager Klaus Boost proudly.
General praise for the hub
Significant position in the DPD network
Award for Klaus Boost
A German company goes global
Aschaffenburg, 7 June 2005 – At this year's premier fair for the logistics industry DPD made a strong impression – with a stand that turned out to be the hoped-for magnet for the public. "We succeeded in attracting a large number of visitors to our stand and in showing them how well DPD is positioned", is the conclusion of Dr. Claude Béglé. In addition to numerous existing and potential customers Rudolf Nagel, secretary of state at the federal ministry of transport, also called in at DPD in the course of his tour of the fair. At the stand he was informed by Hans Fluri, CEO DPD GeoPost Deutschland GmbH, about the company and its activities this year at the logistic industry's leading trade fair.
Business trend characterised by expansion
Dr. Béglé pointed out that GeoPost is pressing ahead with the modernisation and extension of the DPD network, together with the introduction of a delivery scan and optimised performance quality. On 1 June the DPD GUARANTEE product, which offers the customer the advantage of greater reliability at an attractive price, was also introduced in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
DPD Talk & Happy Hour – highlights at the fair stand
"We are delighted with this extremely interesting exchange of ideas among leading experts from the logistics industry. Because of the tremendous response it received we are thinking of making this event a regular part of future fairs and firmly establishing it in the logistics world", comments Dr. Béglé. Equally successful was the Happy Hour at the fair stand, at which leading representatives from DPD were on hand to deal in detail with specific questions from (potential) customers. The programme was accompanied by cocktails and live music.
Omnipresent at the fair
Experts from the logistics industry also took part in a forum organised by the federal logistics association (BVL) under the title of "Concepts for international networking". In addition to members of the boards of management of companies like Schenker, BLG Group, SBB Cargo and Bayer MaterialScience, Dr. Claude Béglé also participated in the discussion. "Global customer relationships require logistics networks across countries", was the title of his talk, in which he discussed the so-called "glocal" concept. The principal requirement is to control the world-wide flow of goods in such a way that any destination can be reached. In the round table exchange of views which followed he discussed subjects such as the potential for investment in China with the other guests.

Results 2004
DPD, its main shareholder GeoPost and GeoPost's parent company La Poste, all look back on a successful 2004.
The revenues of La Poste increased to EUR 18.7 billion. Operating profit rose by 69% to EUR 523 million, while net profit rose by 85% to EUR 374 million as announced on April 21st. GeoPost's revenues increased by 5.5% to EUR 2.4 billion with an operating profit growing by 48% to EUR 122 million. Total parcel volumes of GeoPost attained 450 million units of which 313 million passed through the DPD network, which represents an average increase of 9.6% from 2003 for DPD, out of which international volumes increased by 20% versus 2003, up to 34.6 million parcels. Domestic parcels grew by 8.4% to reach a volume of 278.1 million parcels in 2004.
To Claude Béglé, CEO of DPD GmbH and CEO GeoPost International Management & Development, this strong growth in international volumes is proof that the internationalisation of the network, which has been a key focus for the company in recent years, is delivering results. Béglé: "We are present in every European country, with a dense network, strong domestic roots and local management. International co-operation is growing fast in all respects, and we are proud to be one of the companies that stimulate pan-European trade, giving an extra impulse to trade with upcoming economies in Central and Eastern Europe."
Geographical Expansion
GeoPost pursues the modernization and extension of its DPD network (roll out of delivery scans, new line hauls and service quality). Moreover, it continues to prepare its global expansion, through talks in countries such as China, India, Brazil, South Africa and the Middle East, for example. This year (2005), the network was already expanded to Bulgaria, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Greece and Kazakhstan and the SEUR Bilbao franchise was acquired.
DPD Product News
DPD GUARANTEE was launched earlier this year in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxemburg and Switzerland. With first reliability results of over 99%, DPD is operating at the service levels it envisaged for this product. GeoPost is streamlining the offering of DPD products across markets. DPD GUARANTEE is GeoPost's first Europe-wide, uniformly branded product in a series of homogenous products to facilitate its push towards international expansion and increasing international parcel volumes.
Today, Claude Béglé announced that a new European product is currently being developed to offer the customer even higher speed. A 48-hour pan-European service, combining road and air, will add extra speed to the guaranteed DPD products, at a very competitive rate compared to the offering of traditional express providers.
International agreement
Mid May, GeoPost International Management and Development, the majority shareholder of DPD, signed a framework agreement on social and labour rights with trade unions in France (FO COM, CGT, CFDT), Switzerland (Gewerkschaft Kommunikation) and Germany (ver.di). This international agreement is the result of talks between GeoPost International Management and Development and Union Network International (UNI) of which the five unions are members. It encompasses employee rights, freedom of coalition, labour and health protection and rules against discrimination and other agreements. It is the first agreement of its kind between the UNI unions and a company operating in the mail, parcel and express industry. Claude Béglé: " I strongly believe in the social responsibility of multinational corporations and I am very proud of this understanding."
DPD media
The DPD corporate film, with the title "To be there when needed", created by WRW United and produced in co-operation with Bavaria Film Interactive, was awarded at the World Media Festival this month with the intermedia-globe Silver Award in the category PR/Transport. Jean-Pierre Kresser, communications director DPD, accepted the award. The jury awarded DPD for successfully capturing the added value and marketing strategy of DPD and translating it into an audiovisual format.
In Germany, DPD recently also launched its first TV commercial, on n-tv and N24. The commercial with key message "Happy End of Business Day", communicates customers can rest assured at the end of the business day, as their parcels are being taken care of and delivered on time, as guaranteed. This commercial is part of a Europe-wide campaign, including print, bill boards and other types of media.
TV viewers will soon be able to follow a DPD delivery van as it makes its way through the canyon-like streets of a metropolis in order to reach its destination safely and fast. This is the story of DPD's first TV commercial, which extends the company's current marketing campaign to the medium of television. In addition to this commercial, which will be shown in Germany on the n-tv and N24 channels, DPD is accompanying the launch of DPD GUARANTEE with an advertising campaign on an international scale. Advertisements in leading trade journals and business publications combined with giant posters and advertising space at major airports are providing an impressive launch pad for the new cross-border parcel shipment service with guaranteed delivery times.
Aschaffenburg, 23 May 2005 – In line with DPD`s current print and outdoor advertising campaign a commercial has been designed which transfers the central "Happy End of Business Day" message to the advertising channel of television. In the print media DPD has already been successful in communicating reliability as one of the main benefits which the customer receives. The intention for the future is to harmonise communication both across the various media and on an international basis. Readers, online users and television viewers will all receive the same core message: DPD is a strong and reliable partner – right across the world.
"Happy End of Business Day" – the story of the film
Experts show what they can do – the technical production

wrwunited wins intermedia-globe SILVER Award for DPD film
Cologne, May 2005: On behalf of DPD Deutscher Paket Dienst wrwunited conceived the new corporate film "To be there when needed." and produced it in cooperation with Bavaria Film Interactive. At the international WorldMediaFestival in May this film was awarded the intermedia-globe SILVER Award in the PR / Transport category for the outstanding way in which DPD's corporate values and brand strategy are presented in audiovisual terms.
The highly distinguished jury's reason for presenting the film with the SILVER Award in the PR/ Transport category was its outstandingly effective audio-visual communication of DPD's corporate values and brand strategy. The fact that the DPD corporate film "To be there when needed." is an outstanding production is confirmed by the list of the other well-known companies and institutions from Europe, Asia and other parts of the world taking part in the competition – companies such as DaimlerChrysler AG, Deutsche Lufthansa AG, Hewlett-Packard EMEA GmbH, Nokia UK Limited and the Volvo Car Corporation. The gold award in the PR/Transport category went to Volkswagen AG, Wolfsburg , for its film about "How the new Golf was developed".
It is the aim of the DPD film to present the company as a provider of parcel services on an international scale, with customer orientation and reliability constantly at the core of its operations. The technique of this image film is to focus on scenes and people connected with DPD in a range of ways across national frontiers. Special emphasis is placed on close personal contact with customers. "Because we're right there when we are needed, and of course with the fast and reliable quality which our customers expect. Highlighting these qualities is the intention of the new corporate film", is how Jean-Pierre Kresser explains the title of the film: "To be there when needed."

Subscribe To Gravity Predicted To Win The Box Office For The Third Time, Carrie To Open Strong Updates
I've already subscribed
October is typically a month when the horror genre rules the box office, but it doesn't appear that rule is going to hold up this weekend, as once again estimates say that a sci-fi thriller will be taking the number one spot. Movie ticket sales site Fandango has sent out its box office predictions for the upcoming weekend and while the newly released Carrie remake looks like it will have a strong showing, it doesn't look like it will be able to take down the reigning champion, Alfonso Cuaron's Gravity.
Should estimates prove to be accurate, this will be the third weekend that Gravity has owned the box office, and the numbers continue to soar. According to the site's chief correspondent, Dave Karger, the film "is selling more tickets on its third weekend than most movies sell on their first weekend." There is no guess as to how much money Cuaron's film is expected to make Friday through Sunday, but Fandango says that the film remains on top of their "Fanticipation" charts with a score of 84 out of 100.
Surprisingly, Carrie's scores are almost as strong. While trailers have made Kimberly Pierce's adaptation of the classic Stephen King novel basically look like a shot-for-shot remake of Brian De Palma's movie from 1976, users on Fandango have given the movie a 79/100 score and it's predicted that the film will come in a close second place to the current Oscar frontrunner.
While Carrie will probably be found in theaters everywhere nationwide, also opening this weekend in limited release will be Steve McQueen's 12 Years A Slave. While the film isn't expected to place very high on the box office charts, Fandango says that the Award Winning movie will very likely have the highest per screen average of any movie coming out tomorrow. Given the film's incredible buzz, it's not a big surprise that people are looking to hunt the movie down.

A New Jersey town held a funeral with full police honors for a 10-year-old boy who died last week from a rare form of bone cancer.
Michael Feeney was named Ridgewood's honorary police chief for 2013 before succumbing Friday to Ewing's sarcoma, a rare, aggressive and often fatal bone cancer that usually develops in children and young adults. The Bergen County fifth-grader was laid to rest Tuesday with service honors usually reserved for members of the police force.
At least 24 police departments were represented at the funeral, NBC News reports. A bugle corps from the Bergen and New Jersey Transit police sounded a faint drumbeat to lead the procession into the church — friends, family and the casket, draped with an American flag. Eighty officers flanked the entrance and stood at salute.

"I lost a partner today," Ridegwood Police Chief John Ward told reporters.
A spunky kid who loved sports, Feeney became a local celebrity in the Bergen County village during his four-year battle with the disease. He swapped campaign tips with the mayor while preparing to run in his school election, according to The Record of Bergen County, and was set to light the village's Christmas tree this week.
"He squeezed 100 years into the 10 years that he lived," his father, Jack Feeney, told The Record.
The boy was so loved in the village that hundreds of people strung holiday lights and ornaments on the family's house and put Santa and his sleigh on the roof while the family was on vacation two weeks ago so the boy could celebrate one more Christmas, the paper reports.
Now, the police department plans to name a future junior police academy after him.
Feeney's death came despite some positive signs in his battle earlier this year. In April, the boy's parents had a lab inject mice with pieces of his tumor to see which drug combinations would work. The treatment, while ultimately unsuccessful, caused his tumors to shrink.

From Laura Bankey, Director of Conservation
I'm back in the United States after an amazing trip to Costa Rica. Our last group adventure took us to Manuel Antonio National Park. Relatively speaking, the area around this National Park is pretty developed, and many Costa Ricans come here for the beaches. It has had some problems in the past from pollution from the nearby towns contaminating the streams and development cutting off access for the animals. It has gotten much better, but it will only stay that way if people continue to be diligent.
The park has several trails that cut through the forest and end up on the beaches of the Pacific. Along the way, our group saw amazing insects like golden orb spiders, baby tarantulas, walking sticks, and huge grasshoppers. We also saw howler monkeys, crab-eating raccoons, white-tailed deer, two- and three-toed sloths, a yellow-crowned night heron, tree boa, and many black iguanas. The monkeys and raccoons have learned to steal food from the tourists on the beach, similar to the way raccoons take food from campers in our parks! If you want the comfort of an accessible park with nearby conveniences, all the while providing spectacular views and glimpses of local wildlife, this park is for you.
On Saturday I left the rest of the group at the airport and met up with one of our conservation partners for a trip to the Caribbean. Didiher Chacon, director of WIDECAST (Wider Caribbean Sea Turtle Conservation Network) Latin America, drove us to one of his sea turtle nesting beaches just south of Tortuguerro National Park.
This project is being run by the wonderful people of La Tortuga Feliz foundation, and Didiher has been their adviser for the past couple of years. Like many turtle conservation projects in Costa Rica, it is run by just a few staff members and relies on volunteers to do much of the work. The good ones, like this one, also actively seek support from the local community. In this case, the community employs local guides for turtle walks!
We got to the site in the late afternoon after a short boat ride from the nearest town. The staff and volunteers were all amazing, several of them deciding to stay long term after falling in love with the place and the project during their three-week volunteer stint.
Within the hour, we had discovered that one of the leatherback sea turtle nests in the hatchery was erupting and baby turtles were emerging. We helped gather them up for weights and measurements and placed them in a container for a later release. We did not want to release them in the middle of the day when the black sand was too hot and predators could easily spot them. At dusk, we went back down to the hatchery to let them go. It was a truly wonderful experience. I have participated in several nesting events, but never before witnessed this part of the process. What a sight!
After the release, I gave a presentation to the local community and project staff and volunteers on the National Aquarium's work with sea turtles. There was no electricity at the site, so we hooked the computer and projector up to a generator for the presentation. Since there are very few sea turtle nests in our area, I mostly spoke about the work our Marine Animal Rescue Program does with rescue, rehabilitation, and release of our local species. I talked about the care our patients receive by our veterinary staff and the technologies we use for diagnosis. I talked about the time and effort our MARP staff and volunteers put in to the care of each animal and the joy of watching them be released back into their natural environment. It was easy to connect with my audience (even through the translator) because it was obvious that we were all participating in different but equally important aspects of the conservation of these amazing animals.
At midnight I joined a turtle patrol. Each night during the nesting season, local guides and project volunteers walk the beach to look for nesting turtles. In this region, it's important to relocate all nests to the hatchery because poaching and turtle hunting is still prevalent, even though it is illegal in Costa Rica. While walking the beach, we saw a group of civil police on patrol. They were there to catch poachers. Later on, we heard that they confronted nine poachers that night and had confiscated a machete, sacks, and other poaching equipment. At first, I was comforted by the police presence on the beach, but Didiher informed me that in his two years on this project, this was only the second time he's seen them and that they don't have the resources to patrol regularly. In fact, their presence that evening was only made possible because La Tortuga Feliz paid for the gas for their boat.
The locals I spoke with that evening were passionate about saving these animals, but were disheartened by the continued disregard for the laws, and the inability of local law enforcement to enforce the laws. They are working very hard in their outreach efforts, for both local communities and in national campaigns, to emphasize the importance of protecting sea turtles, but as with all movements, this will take time. In the meantime, groups like WIDECAST, La Tortuga Feliz, and, most importantly, the local citizens that are working with them are providing a necessary foundation for the conservation of these species.

App Review: HazelMail Postcards by HazelMail.com
by Dorothy on
July 6, 2009
Filed under Daily App Reviews, Utility
There are many ways to keep in touch with others and let them know what you are up to. HazelMail provides an easy way to keep in touch the "old fashioned" way. How would you like to be able to send personalized postcards of you and your friends at the beach or traveling Europe without having to search for postage and a mailbox? Now it is easy and the app is free. You even get your first postcard for free. So, I figured I had nothing to lose in trying out the app to see how well it worked
The first order of business when you launch the HazelMail app is to create an account. It made sense to me that the app might ask for a name and email address, but I failed to see the reasoning behind giving out my birthdate. After logging into the app, you can choose a picture from your media library to use for the front of the postcard. Then, you can adjust the picture somewhat by rotating it or stretching it to fit the cover of the postcard.
When you finish with the picture, you move on to the back of the postcard. First, it asks for the name and address you want the postcard sent to. There is the option to pull an address from your address book. Unfortunately, this address book to which it is referring to is not the one on your device. You can set up an address book on HazelMail's website and then access it from the app and use it to send postcards.
After you have entered in the address to send your postcard to, you can type your message in the box at the bottom of the screen. There are 8 fonts to choose from. After you finish entering your message, you can preview the postcard on both sides. When you are satisfied with the result, you move on to a final screen that let's you view both sides of the postcard and a list of your recipients and the number of HazelBucks you have in your account. At this point, you can add more recipients if you wish. When you are done, send it off and you are done.
After the first postcard y0u send, you have to go on HazelMail's website and purchase HazelBucks to send future postcards. They are about $1 each, which I think is a pretty good deal when you take into account the cost of printing the postcard and postage. The postcard that I sent arrived 6 days after I sent it. Six day was a little longer than I would have hoped for, but mail is sometimes slow getting to my house. HazelMail did a good job printing it, and my postcard looked exactly the way I would have expected. Overall, I was pleased with the app. It was really fun to get a physical postcard in the mail with my personalized picture on it. HazelMail is a great app to take on vacation.
HazelMail Postcards is Free in the iTunes App Store. Your first postcard is free and then you must buy HazelBucks to send future messages. They can be bought at www.hazelmail.com.

Wallach set to interview for Mariners' managerial job
Dodgers' third-base coach becomes fifth confirmed candidate to emerge in search
SEATTLE -- Tim Wallach is the newest name to emerge on the Mariners' managerial search list, as the Dodgers' third-base coach confirmed to MLB.com on Tuesday that he will meet with Seattle general manager Jack Zduriencik this week.
Wallach, who is expected to interview on Thursday, becomes the fifth confirmed candidate for the opening created by Eric Wedge's departure. The 56-year-old already interviewed for the Tigers' vacancy as well.
Zduriencik is conducting preliminary interviews in Phoenix with a large group of candidates, possibly as many as 10-12, and will likely finish up that process this week, then bring several finalists to Seattle as early as next week.
The other candidates that are known to have talked with Zduriencik already are: A's bench coach Chip Hale, Padres bench coach Rick Renteria, Tigers hitting coach and former Pirates manager Lloyd McClendon, and Giants bench coach Ron Wotus.
Wallach was a five-time All-Star and three-time Gold Glove winner as a third baseman for the Montreal Expos during a 17-year playing career from 1980-96 that included stints with the Dodgers and Angels.
He has been the Dodgers' third-base coach the past three seasons after managing the club's Triple-A team in Albuquerque to a 152-135 record in 2009-10. Wallach was the Pacific Coast League Manager of the Year in '09, when he also was named Baseball America's "Best Manager Prospect."
Wallach also served as the Dodgers' hitting coach from 2004-05, and previously coached and managed at the Class A level with two different Dodgers clubs, as well as spending a year coaching at his alma mater, Cal State Fullerton in '00.
Wallach was a career .257 hitter in the Major Leagues and racked up 2,085 hits, 260 home runs and 1,125 RBIs. He led the Majors in doubles in 1987 with 42 and won two Silver Slugger Awards before retiring in 1996.
The Dodgers drafted each of his three sons. One remains a catcher in the Dodgers' organization, another is pitching in the Cubs' system and the third is a catcher at Cal State Fullerton.

Motivation: Incompleteness (and various independence statements) is about unprovable statements. One natural way to make an unprovable statement provable is to assume it as a new axiom. But this feels like cheating, so people often look for "natural" axioms to add that will imply their favorite unprovable statement. The question is whether there are any statements that are unprovable in a theory where essentially the only way to get a theory which proves the statement is to assume it.
Question: Let $T$ be a theory (e.g. ZFC). Say a statement $S$ is "minimally unprovable" in/over $T$ if $S$ is not provable from $T$ (and neither is its negation), and such that if $R$ is any statement that is provable from $T \cup \{S\}$ but not provable from $T$ alone, then there is a proof in $T$ that $R$ is equivalent to $S$.
Does every (sufficiently powerful?) theory have minimally unprovable statements?
Are there examples of a(n interesting) theory $T$ together with a minimally unprovable statement $S$?

Trekking the Ridgeway: Britain's oldest road
The stone in front of me, twice my height, has been standing here in Avebury, England, for more than 4,500 years.
The rough, pitted rock forms part of a huge Neolithic stone circle within which a pub, a post office and several cottages now stand.
Avebury is one of the world's great pagan heritage sites -- and one of the most mysterious.
Exactly how, and why, its stones (originally numbering almost 100 and some weighing more than 50 tons) were erected is still debated.
The stones mark the start of the 140-kilometer-long Ridgeway Trail, aka Britain's oldest highway.
Travelers, soldiers and settlers have walked this route for 6,000 years.
Equipped with a backpack, five spare days and probably not quite enough pairs of clean socks, I recently joined them.
Passing through five counties, the Ridgeway Trail runs through southern England from Avebury in Wiltshire to Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire.
London isn't far away, but its crowds are entirely absent.
Instead you get one gorgeous or stirring view after another.
Much of the trail follows a raised chalk ridge, which in ancient times provided a dry pathway above the boggy lowlands below.
Rather than the Stone Age farmers, Iron Age tribes, Anglo-Saxon clans, Viking armies and medieval sheep drovers who have formerly trod these parts, today's Ridgeway users are mainly day walkers and cyclists.
They're generally of cheery disposition.
"Lovely day for it," was the typically English greeting of more than one walker I passed.
British countryside at its best
History aside, my walk is also a chance to explore rural Britain at its most archetypal.
This isn't the England of Premiership soccer, tabloid-starring royals and multicultural shopping streets.
This is its slow-moving cousin, a world of beech woods, chugging tractors and thatched-roof cottages.
I stayed in farmhouses and bed and breakfasts. Bacon and eggs became staple morning fuel.
The past drapes itself over the trail in layers.
I pass prehistoric burial mounds, Iron Age hill forts and Roman temple sites, as well as two of the region's renowned hillside chalk horses.
Carved more than 2,000 years ago into the white chalk beneath the topsoil, the Uffington White Horse is the oldest surviving example of these striking figures.
It makes for an impressive lunch spot -- even when you're dining on squashed cheddar cheese sandwiches.
By divine deliverance, the lesser-spotted British sun joins me for almost the entire week.
In the heightened light, the landscapes along the way curve and warp with velvet softness -- a calming effect abruptly terminated when, once or twice a day, I encounter a snarling, busy road.
Halfway along the trail, the River Thames breaks through the hills of the Ridgeway.
In another 150 kilometers or so, the waters here will flow past the Houses of Parliament in central London.
For now, they're occupied by rowers, ducks and canal boats. The path follows the river for a pleasurable 10 kilometers.
Wildlife is a constant theme on the walk.
The morning skies are full of caroling skylarks and swallows; the verges stir with rabbits and spring butterflies.
Bossing the whole scene, however, are the red kites tracing silent, predatory circles over the countryside -- at times, I counted as many as six of them above the same stretch of the route.
For long periods of the walk, the wide, winding path along the ridge genuinely gives the feeling of traveling an ancient freeway.
But then, like the road, modernity intrudes again in the form of power stations, rail lines or planes overhead.
A good long-distance walk needs good pubs, and the Ridgeway obliges.
They have names like The Plough (Princes Risborough, Buckinghamshire; +44 0 1844 343 302) and The John Barleycorn (Manor Road, Goring-on-Thames, Buckinghamshire; +44 0 1491 872 509) and serve local ales and cook filling, unfussy meals. Rabbit and cider casserole anyone?
They're also well accustomed to muddy-booted walkers straggling in for food.
As the route snakes its way towards its eastern end, it becomes less defined by open downland and more by quiet villages and valleys.
The path crosses golf courses, churchyards and daintily ordered gardens, at one stage skirting the expansive grounds of Chequers, the prime minister's country residence.
Five days and 140 kilometers after setting off, I reached route's end at the top of Ivinghoe Beacon, in the Chiltern Hills.
There's no grand signage, no gift shop.
It's perfect.
The walk was deeply enjoyable: a week to appreciate the shades of Britain's past and tune in to the rhythms of rural life.
You inevitably wonder: Will people still be walking the path in another 6,000 years?

Acclaimed actor and Oscar-winning director Richard Attenborough, whose film career on both sides of the camera spanned 60 years, has died. He was 90. Prime Minister David Cameron issued a statement calling Attenborough "one of the greats of cinema."
"His acting in 'Brighton Rock' was brilliant, his directing of 'Gandhi' was stunning," Cameron said.
Attenborough won an Academy Award for best director with "Gandhi" in 1982, only one of many highlights of a distinguished career as actor and director. With his abundant snow-white hair and beard, Attenborough was one of the most familiar faces on the British arts scene — universally known as "Dickie."
Filmmaker Richard Attenborough dead at 90Aug. 25, 201400:19
He appeared in a many major Hollywood films, directed a series of movies and was known for his extensive work as a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF and other humanitarian causes.
As a director, Attenborough made several successful movies, from "Oh What a Lovely War" in 1969 to "Chaplin" and "Shadowlands" in the 1990s. But his greatest success was "Gandhi," a film that was 20 years in the planning and won eight Oscars, including best picture. He was later introduced to a new generation as the failed theme park developer in "Jurassic Park" and Kriss Kringle in a remake of "Miracle on 34th Street."

Three points is three points I suppose. But tonight's game unlike last months qualifier in Guatemala City has me very concerned about the state of play regarding the US Team. Against a side that in its own stadium last month gave up three relatively quick goals to Trinidad and Tobago, the US had to grind out a result again dependent on some clutch goalkeeping and quite frankly some mistakes by the Cuban team.
Right now the United States lacks the technical skill nor the clean finishing or awareness in counter attacking situations to ever put away the opposition. The bad giveaways by defensive midfielders continues to be a trademark of this team with its current lineup and the inability for the strikers to finish the chances created for them against respectable opposition is painful to watch. In the last twelve matches, the current set of US strikers, Brian Ching and Eddie Johnson have scored in only one match: the 8-0 rout of Barbados, while every US goal in the other matches has come from midfielders or defenders and typically off set pieces.
Today's performance was substantially worse than the game many have criticized the US for in Guatemala City last month. Again thye most solid players were the keeper Tim Howard and the two center backs, Carlos Bocanegra and Oguchi Onyewu. The performances of DaMarcus Beasley and Mo Edu in particular were forgetable. Given Scotland's loss today to FYR Macedonia in Skopke perhaps both players feature on one of the two big sides in the SPL because of the lack of Scottish talent, not because of their individual qualities. Beasley in particular is becoming less and less useful as a player as time goes on.
A word on the atmonsphere tonight: Give the Cuban players and supporters a lot of credit. Despite the political tensions which I am in particular familiar with because of where I live (South Florida) the event tonight was perfect except for the lighting, with a polite crowd, and some good sportsmanship among both sides. Football really can overcome the problems politicians and dictators cause.

Ho ho happy Raw Wednesday!
As promised, I'm back with my holiday recipe roundup. Christmas, in case you hadn't noticed, is this vegan's favorite holiday, and I'm so excited to share my first batch of Choosing Raw Christmas recipes. Most of these are shiny and new; one of them (the soup) you'll recognize from another holiday celebration last year.
The theme of this menu is, I'm ashamed to say, red and green. I know, I know, it's a litte kitschy, but come on: 'tis the season. The other theme is the savory/sweet combo: beets and dried fruits provide touches of sweetness, while tangy marinades and winter spices give the meal a savory feel. Much like my Thanksgiving menu, this Christmas dinner is accessible: it features familiar flavor pairings, comfortable textures, and dishes that mimic cooked traditional favorites (cheese and crackers; borscht; and even meatloaf!). We begin with the tasty cheese and crackers I shared yesterday, move into a surprisingly and sweet borscht, clean the palate with a simple marinated beet carpaccio, and the meal culminates in a raw nutloaf to swoon for. And just because I love you guys, I didn't forget dessert this time: I concocted a very special raw pudding (not figgy, but chocolate) that's a new favorite in my home!
With that, I present the Choosing Raw 2009 Christmas dinner:
Cashew cheese with meyer lemon and dried cherries
Maple Cinnamon Flax crackers
Raw Borscht
Marinated beet carpaccio with wilted beet greens
Main course
Raw nutloaf with kale salad
Chocolate (peppermint) chia pudding
Sound yummy? It is!
Here's how it all comes together:
We begin with yesterday's cashew cheese and maple cinnamon flax crackers: allow your guests to munch on these and discover the joys of dairy free, cruelty free, non-stinky cheese!
Next, serve the delicious raw borscht. This is a recipe I shared with you last Easter, but it's worth repeating. The soup is very sweet, but its sweetness is cut by the addition of apple cider vinegar, the creaminess of avocado, and the citrusy hint of dill.
Raw Borscht (serves 4)
2 cups beet juice
2 cups carrot juice
1 cup orange juice
¼ tsp salt
2 tsp apple cider vinegar (more to taste)
A sprinkle of pepper
2 small beets, chopped (or a large one)
1 small avocado
1 grated small carrot
1/2 grated small beet
1/2 chopped avocado
Sprigs of dill
Blend all of the ingredients together in a Vitamix or powerful blender, stopping to adjust saltiness and sweetness. Pour into four bowls and garnish with the chopped vegetables. (I always find that the addition of chopped veggies can make or break raw soups, which are typically smooth and in need of some texture.)
Next, the brilliant red beets get another treatment in a simple carpaccio and wilted greens salad. This recipe is as simple as can be: simply wash, spin, and marinate the beet greens in a basic red wine vinaigrette, and serve them with finely sliced beets. Period. You could certainly jazz it up: marinate the beets themselves in a more basic marinade than the one I provide, or top them with a creamy dressing (I think my avocado-cumin dressing would be great here). But they really need little attention, and the greens, though simple, are tasty enough to stand on their own, too!
Beet Carpaccio with Wilted Beet Green Salad (serves 2-4)
1 large beet
1 large bunch beet greens
1/4 cup water
2 tbsps apple cider vinegar
1 tbsp agave nectar
1/2 tsp sea salt
2 tbsps olive oil
1 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tbsp agave nectar
1/4 tsp sea salt
Sprinkle pepper
Cut the large beet in half. At the thick end, begin slicing the beet very thinly — about 1/16 inch, if it's possible. When you have about twenty-five slices, place them in an airtight container with the water, ACV, salt and agave mixture. Let them marinate overnight.
Wash, spin, and chop the greens into salad-size pieces. Mix the vinaigrette ingredients together, and then pour them over the greens. Massage the greens well with your hand, move to an airtight container, and store in your fridge for eight hours or overnight.
When you're ready to serve, simply dry off the beet slices and arrange in circles on a round plate. In the very center, place your wilted beet greens.
You could certainly add to the wilted greens: carrots, tomatoes, and parsley would all work beautifully! So would raw fennel. But I like this one plain and simple.
After your salad course, move on to the star of the meal: nutloaf.
Oh yes she did! I gave quintessential comfort food a raw makeover. This recipe is a little more time intensive than mine usually are, and it requires oven or dehydrator love, but the result is pretty spectacular. It's a warm, savory, and filling nutloaf that recalls your mom's home cooked version, but without the cholesterol, the dense and slow digesting animal protein, and, of course, the ethical question marks! The loaf is dense, so a modest portion will sate your holiday appetite nicely. It's also rich in protein and essential fatty acids, and it's delicious. Healthy and tasty? What more could you ask at a holiday meal?
Gena's Raw Nutloaf
2 cups portabello or baby bella mushrooms, roughly chopped
2 tbsp bragg's liquid aminos
2 tbsp olive oil
1 cup almonds
1 cup walnuts
1/2 tsp salt
3/4 tsp dried thyme
1/4 tsp dried sage
Dash onion powder
2 dates
1/2 red bell pepper
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tbsp Bragg's Liquid Aminos
2 stalks celery, roughly chopped
1/4 cup sundried tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped parsley
Place the mushrooms in the Bragg's and olive oil and store in an airtight container overnight.
Grind the nuts, salt, thyme, sage, and onion powder in a food processor till very processed: it should be starting to look like a coarse nut butter. Add the pepper, lemon, dates, and Bragg's. Process again till the mixture is even. Set aside in a mixing bowl.
Remove the mushrooms from the marinade, reserving a few tablespoons of it. Put the mushrooms, celery, and mushrooms in the food processor (no need to wash after you remove the nuts!), and process till the mixture is finely chopped.
Add the mushroom/celery/tomato mixture to the nut mixture, throw in the parsley, and knead well with your hands, just as you would mix regular meatloaf!
When it's all well mixed, place into a small loaf pan (I used one that was about 5-3/4″ x 3″ x 2-1/8″). Place in a dehydrator at 115 degrees for eight hours (you can also place in an oven at 150 with the door slightly ajar).
When the loaf is done, slice into twelve slices. Serve with a large kale salad (like the one I featured in this post), and marvel at raw comfort food!
And finally, dessert. I promised I wouldn't leave it out, guys!
This recipe is an ode to my girl HEAB, who loves chia seeds! Chocolate Chia Seed Pudding: it's easy, tasty, and — especially if you make the peppermint version — holiday friendly!
We begin with chocolate macadamia milk:
Chocolate Macadamia Nut Milk (yields 2-4 cups, depending on whether or not you strain it)
1 cup macadamia nuts
3 cups water
1/2 cup pitted dates, packed
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp high quality dark cocoa powder or cacao nibs
Stevia for added sweetness (use your taste buds to judge; I added almost a pack)
Dash salt
Blend all ingredients in a VitaMix for a few minutes, till very smooth. You CAN strain through a nutmilk bag, but you definitely don't have to. If you do strain it, you'll get about two cups liquid; if you don't, you'll have about double. Not straining will yield a richer pudding.
To make the pudding, simply add 6 tbsp chia seeds to two cups of the nut milk. Stir. Come back in five minutes, and stir again. Repeat this until the chia seeds have absorbed the liquid, and the pudding has a thick and creamy texture (if it's runny at all, just add another tablespoon or two of chia seeds).
To make this a peppermint chocolate pudding (and on the holidays, why wouldn't we), just add 1/4 tsp peppermint extract to the whole mix (more if you want a mintier flavor; I took it easy with the mint).
The result?
This yumminess:
And that, my good friends, is my first Choosing Raw Christmas. Will I be eating this meal, you ask? Dubious: I have a feeling that my Mom, for whom I'll be cooking on Christmas Eve, is hankering for my Thanksgiving menu (or at least, for the butternut soup and root veggie mash — she can't quite get down with nutloaf, not yet). But I've got nutloaf in the fridge, the sliced beets will go to use in my beet ravioli with root veggie filling, and the borscht is mine for the making soon enough!
And, oh yeah: the pudding? Gone baby, gone.
I hope you all get to try some of these dishes for Christmas — or anytime this winter!
Looking for other raw Christmas options?
The aforementioned butternut squash and apple soup or root veggie ravioli would be great. So would Kristen's AMAZING harvest soup, my raw alfredo, or my recent carrot falafel. I also love the idea of my cream of cauliflower soup served alongside a big kale salad and some roasted root veggies. Yum.
On that note, enough Christmas. Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves: today, it's Raw Wednesday. What are you all up to in the kitchen?

Memorial Day is commemorated annually for those who have died in service of our country. Millions of patriotic individuals have done just that since America�s founding more than 200 years ago. While not every soldier�s death took place in a truly just or justifiable war or battle, the commitment to country always was honorable.
So, too, is the commitment of everybody else during times of war. Those who were able to emerge unscathed from a foxhole where comrades did not; those who were wounded or still carry scars from their honorable duty; the families from which members of the armed forces came from.
Defending the United States, our ideals and our way of life requires sacrifices from all.
For those who offer the ultimate sacrifice, however, these are the brave men and women we salute on Memorial Day. Whether enlisted personnel or commissioned officers, newbie grunts or seasoned veterans, no matter the race, religious persuasion or ethnic origin. Everybody looks the same in a flag-draped casket.
We are forever indebted to those who fought and died for the red, white and blue. The freedoms we�ve cherished throughout history have been secured in large part by our military.
The national holiday tomorrow is the ideal time to thank those who�ve died on our behalf.
If you can attend one of the many Memorial Day services scheduled throughout northwest Kansas on Monday, do so. If you�d prefer to pay respect by visiting a cemetery, saying a prayer, buying a poppy, wearing the nation�s colors or observing a moment of silence, do that.
There still will be plenty of time to thoroughly enjoy the three-day weekend, a break made possible by our fallen brothers and sisters in uniform.
In Flanders Fields
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
Editorial by Patrick Lowry

There's officially no stopping Britney Spears.
The pop superstar and "X Factor" judge is in talks regarding a book deal with HarperCollins imprint It Books, a source confirms to E! News.
And no, we're not talking your predictable memoir--instead Spears is following in the footsteps of Lauren Conrad and Nicole Polizzi and penning a novel.
Where'd the Spears' family case end up? Family is relieved and judge dismisses case as "weak"
Spears' rep confirms to The Hollywood Reporter, who first reported the big book news, that It Books, an imprint of HarperCollins, is having "discussions" with the singer.
Much like Conrad's books, Spears' novels would likely be a fictionalized account of her real-life experiences.
We're ready to pre-order!

Users of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) in the chemical process industries (CPI) have long recognized the limitations of the test protocol currently used to determine material compatibility, ASTM C581, Standard Practice for Determining Chemical Resistance of Thermosetting Resins Used in Glass-Fiber-Reinforced Structures Intended for Liquid Service. The test requires a long time to complete (6–18 mo), and the data it generates cannot be used to determine the type of degradation or the life of equipment made of the material. The Materials Technology Institute (MTI) has collaborated with Swerea KIMAB (formerly the Swedish Corrosion Institute, Stockholm, Sweden) to develop a new FRP testing procedure that does not have these shortcomings.

Decide.com launches Decide Score ranking alongside price forcasting
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Hot Deals, Internet
We've covered Decide before--it's the shopping search engine that's focused on telling you when you should buy certain products, based on when they'll be cheapest. For example, if you are looking to buy a Panasonic Lumix ZS20 camera, Decide would tell you if now is a good time, or if you should wait a week or two, when the price is expected to drop. They even stand behind their predictions with a money-back guarantee.
One complaint that we had about the service was that, sure, it was easy to recommend products based on pricing trends, but that didn't mean that the product was a good one. Maybe someone has received a significant price drop simply because no one wanted it because it didn't perform as expected. It wouldn't be the first time. Today Decide is aiming to plug that hole with its new product recommendations service.
It's keeping things simple, too. Each product gets a Decide score between 1-100, which is an indicator of professional and user review sentiments. This includes sites like Best Buy, Amazon, Consumer Reports, CNet, and others. Decide takes all that data, puts it through its algorithm, and comes up with a score that it feels indicates just how good the product is.
So now you'll know whether the specific item that you've found a fantastic deal on is actually a good product or not. The service launched this morning, and covers categories like smartphones, tablets, televisions, cameras, refrigerators, barbeque grills, and a few more. Eventually they'll roll it out across all categories.
