President Obama recently took a ride in a classic car and got coffee with Jerry Seinfeld.
The famous comedian stopped by the White House on Dec. 7 to tape an episode of "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," which will kick off season seven of his award-winning Web series, the White House said in a press release.
"Growing up in the '60s my kid dream was always to be an astronaut—doing a comedy show with President Obama in and around the White House felt like going into space," Seinfeld said, according to a press release from Crackle, which streams the web series. "How did I get here? Is this really happening? The president's humor and generosity are the only reasons this was even possible. He was so easy and fun to be with. Being president and just a cool guy to hang out with at the same time made the experience my own personal moonwalk. It was an unforgettable day."
U.S. & World
Unlike previous episodes, where Seinfeld took high-profile comedians and entertainers for a spin around town, the president and Seinfeld did not leave the White House complex. Instead, they took turns circling the South Lawn in a 1963 Corvette Stingray Split Window Coupe before walking through the Map, Diplomatic and China Rooms, the White House said.
The two also sat down for coffee in a basement staff dining room to discuss life at the White House.
Seinfeld's interview with Obama will stream on Dec. 30 at 11:30 p.m. ET on Crackle and Comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com.
Other guests on the six-episode season include Will Ferrell, Steve Martin, Garry Shandling, Kathleen Madigan and Sebastian Maniscalco. Episodes will stream every Wednesday night at 11:30 p.m. ET.

KAREN HOCHMAN is Editorial Director of THE NIBBLE.
April 2007
Updated December 2008
CAPSULE REPORT: Nearly 50% of the water sold in the U.S. is purified municipal water (Aquafina and Dasani) or spring water—not the purest sources of water. FIJI Water is the only brand among the top 10 water brands to come from a pure source—a natural aquifer in an unspoiled continent, made from rain that fell 450 years ago on unspoiled highlands and tropical forests. The great artesian waters (see the others reviewed by THE NIBBLE) have tiny market shares, and are difficult to find. Thanks to strong marketing, FIJI is everywhere. If you're drinking bottled water for its purity, consider FIJI before the other top 10 brands. This is Page 1 of a three-page article. Click on the black links below to visit other pages.
FIJI Water appeared out of nowhere in late 1997 and captured the public fancy. Was it the square bottle with the peekaboo illustration of the tropical waterfall? Or was the pure, flavorless water, enticing with a crisper flavor profile and a more refreshing palate experience than the popular Evian (which it is about to replace as the #1 imported still water)?* Apart from tourism, Fiji Water has become the biggest industry in this small Pacific nation.
*With its high level of silica, a mineral often found in waters that derive from volcanic geology, the flavor profile is very different from Evian, which has a very heavy level of bicarbonate (you can taste it in the water) and a good amount of calcium, both of which give the water a flatness.
Perhaps it was the high-powered marketing. The company was founded in 1996 by David Gilmour, a wealthy Canadian who owns the Wakaya Club, an exclusive resort in Fiji (Bill and Melinda Gates honeymooned there in 1994). As the story goes, he noticed that guests tended to bring cases of bottled water with them, transporting the heavy products thousands of miles. He sought out a water source in Fiji and within a few years, FIJI Water was producing 25 million bottles—ironically, exporting almost all of it thousands of miles to the United States. In 2004, the company was sold to Roll International, owners of Teleflora and Pom Wonderful pomegranate juice.
Both owners spent money on marketing—something essential to build the brand. FIJI Water hangs its hat on its remote island purity. It's true that among bottled waters, FIJI Water gets the Remote Award—you can see on the right side of the map how far Fiji is from the nearest continent (Australia) or industrialized civilization. The aquifer is located at the edge of a primitive rainforest in the remote Yaqara Valley of Viti Levu (that's the island perched on top of the "IS" on the map). The company claims that that distance is part of what makes their water so much more pure and healthy than other bottled waters, and that their rainfall is purified by equatorial winds after traveling thousands of miles across the Pacific Ocean. Europe and the U.S., by implication, are buffeted by winds that carry acid rain and pollutants. Nice marketing message: They should hold it for a few years because there's no acid rain in the European aquifer water supply yet. As with most aquifer waters, what begins as rain filters through the ground for hundreds of years before entering the aquifer. That which is being pumped now entered the system in the good old days, before acid rain: FIJI Water, for instance, has been carbon-dated to 450 years ago, 250 years before the Industrial Revolution!
Of course, we're not geologists: someone else can read a lot of water analysis charts in order to debate the merits of FIJI Water's argument. Even if we choose to buy it (and we do—it's a delicious still water), choosing FIJI Water because of its purity would amount to a minute drop in the bucket given everything else we eat and drink.

PART I FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS This annual report on Form 10-K contains forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. We use words such as "anticipate", "believe", "plan", "expect", "future", "intend", and similar expressions to identify such forward-looking statements. Investors should be aware that all forward-looking statements contained within this filing are the good faith estimates of management as of the date of this filing. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements for many reasons, including the risks faced by us as described in the "Risk Factors" section and elsewhere in this report. ITEM 1. BUSINESS GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT OUR COMPANY We were incorporated in the state of Nevada on September 25, 2007. Andrea Fehsenfeld was appointed sole officer and director. At that time the board of directors voted to seek capital and begin development of our business plan. We received our initial funding of $9,000 through the sale of common stock to Ms. Fehsenfeld who purchased 3,000,000 shares of common stock at $0.003 per share and $45,000 from the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued to 30 un-affiliated investors at $0.015 per share. On June 11, 2008, we effected a five for one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital has increased from 75,000,000 to 375,000,000 shares of common stock and our outstanding share capital has increased from 6,000,000 shares of common stock to 30,000,000 shares of common stock. PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND THEIR MARKETS Our principal products are feature films and television series designed for the North American market. We intend to option scripts and treatments to package the projects and sell to them to various studios and production companies. Our choice of projects will vary dependent upon market trends and interests. The entertainment sector is booming as an exploding television and internet landscape are increasing the demand for quality filmed material. The projects we package will have the opportunity to generate revenue not just in North America but also in the foreign and ancillary markets. TV series can syndicate both locally and globally and films can be shown in a variety of markets for years, which provide an ongoing source of revenue, often in perpetuity. This will make them very attractive to possible buyers. DISTRIBUTION METHODS OF THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES We initially plan to attend the various film and TV markets in North America and Europe to source the projects we choose to option. Once we have sourced a number of projects, we will begin the packaging process, which involves many 3
pre-production activities such as securing appropriate cast and above the line talent (directors etc). Either before or once the projects are completely packaged we will to speak to various broadcasters, studios and specialized distributors about purchasing the packaged projects. The typical revenues secured during selling off the packaged projects vary based on the scope and subject matter of the project, who is attached and what audience the piece is targeted towards. As a rule, we are seeking a 10-20% mark up on our costs. STATUS OF ANY PUBLICLY ANNOUNCED NEW PRODUCT OR SERVICE We currently have no new publicly announced products or services. COMPETITIVE BUSINESS CONDITIONS AND OUR COMPETITIVE POSITION IN THE INDUSTRY AND METHODS OF COMPETITION The production industry allows for smart newcomers to earn revenue via packaging of projects and then selling them to studios and companies eager to green light projects that are ready to go. The lack of funding for the initial optioning phase is an area of frustration for many companies starting out. By owing several concepts from the start Boreal Productions will have the leverage to parlay these into profitable projects. We believe that our competitive strengths will be having an experienced team of producers and writers on board to shepherd the optioned projects into award winning entertainment for the clients who buy them. SOURCES AND AVAILABILITY OF RAW MATERIALS AND THE NAMES OF PRINCIPAL SUPPLIERS We will not be using raw materials in our industry. DEPENDENCE ON ONE OR A FEW MAJOR CUSTOMERS Luckily, the distribution markets for entertainment are diverse so we will never be dependent on one source for our revenue. We may sell one series to Warner and then sell a project to Disney. This variety also allows us to build up relationships with many players, thereby giving us more creative latitude with the projects we choose to option. PATENTS, TRADEMARKS, LICENSES, FRANCHISES, CONCESSIONS, ROYALTY AGREEMENTS OR LABOR CONTRACTS, INCLUDING DURATION In optioning entertainment properties, we do not have to concern ourselves with any of the above, other than ensuring we are adhering to any contractual obligations we create with writers and producers during development and adhering to the union pay scales when filming in the various states. 4
NEED FOR ANY GOVERNMENT APPROVAL OF PRINCIPAL PRODUCTS OR SERVICES We do not require any government approval for optioning; producing or distributing the type of entrainment we plan to create. EFFECT OF EXISTING OR PROBABLE GOVERNMENTAL REGULATIONS ON THE BUSINESS We are not subject to any government regulations. THE AMOUNT SPENT DURING EACH OF THE LAST TWO FISCAL YEARS ON RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES We have not spent any money on research and development activities. COSTS AND EFFECTS OF COMPLIANCE WITH ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS (FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL) We are not aware of any environmental regulations that could directly affect our operations, but no assurance can be given that environmental regulations will not, in the future, have a material adverse impact on our business. NUMBER OF TOTAL EMPLOYEES AND NUMBER OF FULL TIME EMPLOYEES At the present time, the company has no employees other than its officer and director who devote their time either as needed or on a full-time basis to the Company's business. BANKRUPTCY OR SIMILAR PROCEEDINGS There has been no bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding. REORGANIZATIONS, PURCHASES OR SALES OF ASSETS There have been no material reclassifications, mergers, consolidations, or purchase or sale of a significant amount of assets not in the ordinary course of business. REPORTS TO SECURITIES HOLDERS We provide an annual report that includes our audited financial information to our shareholders upon written request. We will make our financial information equally available to any interested parties or investors through compliance with the disclosure rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We will be subject to disclosure filing requirements including filing a Form 10-K annually and Form 10-Q quarterly. In addition, we will file Form 8-K and other proxy and information statements from time to time as required. We do not intend to voluntarily file the above reports in the event our obligation to file such reports is suspended under the Exchange Act. The public may read and copy any materials that we file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("SEC"), at the SEC's Public Reference Room at 100 F Street NE, Washington, DC 20549. The public may obtain information on the operation of 5
the Public Reference Room by calling the SEC at 1-800-SEC-0330. The SEC maintains an Internet site (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC. ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS SINCE WE ARE A DEVELOPMENT STAGE COMPANY, HAVE GENERATED NO REVENUES AND LACK AN OPERATING HISTORY, AN INVESTMENT IN THE SHARES OFFERED HEREIN IS HIGHLY RISKY AND COULD RESULT IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN OUR BUSINESS PLANS. Our company was incorporated in September 2007; we have recently commenced our business operations but we have not yet realized any revenues. We have a limited operating history upon which an evaluation of our future prospects can be made. Such prospects must be considered in light of the substantial risks, expenses and difficulties encountered by new entrants into the production industry. Our ability to achieve and maintain profitability and positive cash flow is highly dependent upon a number of factors, including our ability to purchase/option quality material and develop it into projects that will earn revenue. Based upon current plans, we expect to incur operating losses in future periods as we incur significant expenses associated with the initial startup of our business. Further, we cannot guarantee that we will be successful in realizing revenues or in achieving or sustaining positive cash flow at any time in the future. Any such failure could result in the possible closure of our business or force us to seek additional capital through loans or additional sales of our equity securities to continue business operations. WE DO NOT YET HAVE ANY SUBSTANTIAL ASSETS AND ARE TOTALLY DEPENDENT UPON OUR CURRENT CASH TO FULLY FUND OUR BUSINESS. The only cash currently available is the cash paid by our founder for the acquisition of her shares, proceeds from our offering and funds loaned to us by our director. We must generate revenue from operations or further funding to continue. There can be no assurance that we would be able to raise additional funding needed in the event that unanticipated costs increases our projected expenses. Our auditors have expressed substantial doubt as to our ability to continue as a going concern. WE CANNOT PREDICT WHEN OR IF WE WILL PRODUCE REVENUES, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A TOTAL LOSS OF YOUR INVESTMENT IF WE ARE UNSUCCESSFUL IN OUR BUSINESS PLANS. We have not yet optioned any films or TV shows and have not yet generated any revenues from operations. There can be no assurance that we will generate revenues or that revenues will be sufficient to maintain our business. As a result, investors could lose all of their investment if we are not successful in our proposed business plans. OUR CONTINUED OPERATIONS DEPEND ON CURRENT PRODUCTION APPETITES. IF THE PROJECTS WE CHOOSE TO PRODUCE DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIA OF DISTRIBUTION PARTNERS, THE ABILITY TO GENERATE REVENUE WILL BE MINIMIZED. 6
The production industry worldwide is in a favorable position. The demand for quality entertainment worldwide is reaching record levels. If this appetite diminishes, there will be less demand and we could find ourselves with properties that no one is willing to purchase. THE LOSS OF ANDREA FEHSENFELD OR OTHER KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL WOULD HAVE AN ADVERSE IMPACT ON OUR FUTURE DEVELOPMENT AND COULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO SUCCEED. Our performance is substantially dependent upon the creative expertise of our President, Andrea Fehsenfeld, and our ability to hire and retain qualified personnel. It may be difficult to find sufficiently qualified individuals to replace Andrea Fehsenfeld if we were to lose her services. The loss of Andrea Fehsenfeld or any of our future key management personnel could have a material adverse effect on our business, development, financial condition, and operating results. COMPETITION IN THE PRODUCTION INDUSTRY IS STRONG. IF WE CANNOT SUCCESSFULLY COMPETE, OUR BUSINESS MAY BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED. The production industry has always had a strong lure for people interested in Hollywood. We will compete against a large number of well-established studios with greater product and name recognition and with substantially greater financial and marketing capabilities than ours, as well as against a large number of small specialty producers. Our competitors include, by way of example, Columbia, Paramount, NBC, ABC and other well-known and respected companies. There can be no assurance that we can compete successfully in this complex and changing market. If we cannot, our business will be adversely affected. ITEM 2. PROPERTIES We do not currently own any property. We are currently operating out of a detached office space on a private piece of property while we are in the organizational stage. We have not leased an office yet but anticipate signing a lease in 2012 if operations warrant it. ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any pending or potential legal actions. ITEM 4. [REMOVED AND RESERVED] 7
PART II ITEM 5. MARKET FOR COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS Our common stock is listed for quotation on the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board under the symbol BPRO. There has been no active trading of our stock on the OTC Bulletin Board. PENNY STOCK RULES The Securities and Exchange Commission has also adopted rules that regulate broker-dealer practices in connection with transactions in penny stocks. Penny stocks are generally equity securities with a price of less than $5.00 (other than securities registered on certain national securities exchanges or quoted on the Nasdaq system, provided that current price and volume information with respect to transactions in such securities is provided by the exchange or system). A purchaser is purchasing penny stock which limits the ability to sell the stock. Our shares constitute penny stock under the Securities and Exchange Act. The shares will remain penny stocks for the foreseeable future. The classification of penny stock makes it more difficult for a broker-dealer to sell the stock into a secondary market, which makes it more difficult for a purchaser to liquidate his/her investment. Any broker-dealer engaged by the purchaser for the purpose of selling his or her shares in us will be subject to Rules 15g-1 through 15g-10 of the Securities and Exchange Act. Rather than creating a need to comply with those rules, some broker-dealers will refuse to attempt to sell penny stock. The penny stock rules require a broker-dealer, prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules, to deliver a standardized risk disclosure document, which: - contains a description of the nature and level of risk in the market for penny stock in both public offerings and secondary trading; - contains a description of the broker's or dealer's duties to the customer and of the rights and remedies available to the customer with respect to a violation of such duties or other requirements of the Securities Act of 1934, as amended; - contains a brief, clear, narrative description of a dealer market, including "bid" and "ask" price for the penny stock and the significance of the spread between the bid and ask price; - contains a toll-free telephone number for inquiries on disciplinary actions; - defines significant terms in the disclosure document or in the conduct of trading penny stocks; and - contains such other information and is in such form (including language,type, size and format) as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall require by rule or regulation; 8
The broker-dealer also must provide, prior to effecting any transaction in a penny stock, to the customer: - the bid and offer quotations for the penny stock; - the compensation of the broker-dealer and its salesperson in the transaction; - the number of shares to which such bid and ask prices apply, or other comparable information relating to the depth and liquidity of the market for such stock; and - monthly account statements showing the market value of each penny stock held in the customer's account. In addition, the penny stock rules require that prior to a transaction in a penny stock not otherwise exempt from those rules; the broker-dealer must make a special written determination that the penny stock is a suitable investment for the purchaser and receive the purchaser's written acknowledgment of the receipt of a risk disclosure statement, a written agreement to transactions involving penny stocks, and a signed and dated copy of a written suitability statement. These disclosure requirements will have the effect of reducing the trading activity in the secondary market for our stock because it will be subject to these penny stock rules. Therefore, stockholders may have difficulty selling their securities. SECURITIES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE UNDER EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS We do not have any equity compensation plans. SECTION 16(a) Based solely upon a review of Form 3 and 4 furnished by us under Rule 16a-3(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we are not aware of any individual who failed to file a required report on a timely basis required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES BY THE ISSUER AND AFFILIATED PURCHASERS There were no purchases of shares of our common stock by us or any affiliated purchasers during the year ended September 30, 2011. FORWARD STOCK SPLIT Effective June 11, 2008, we effected a five for one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital has increased from 75,000,000 to 375,000,000 shares of common stock and our outstanding share capital has increased from 6,000,000 shares of common stock to 30,000,000 shares of common stock. 9
ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS We are still in our development stage and have generated no revenue to date. We incurred operating expenses of $11,252 and $12,089 for the years ended September 30, 2011 and 2010, respectively. These expenses consisted of general operating expenses and professional fees incurred in connection with the day to day operation of our business. Our net loss from inception through September 30, 2011 was $57,876. Cash provided by financing activities for the period from inception (September 24, 2007) through September 30, 2010 was $54,000, resulting from the sale of 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued to our director at $0.003 per share for $9,000 and 3,000,000 shares of common stock issued to 30 un-affiliated investors at $0.015 for proceeds of $45,000. Effective June 11, 2008, we effected a five for one forward stock split of our authorized and issued and outstanding common stock. As a result, our authorized capital has increased from 75,000,000 to 375,000,000 shares of common stock and our outstanding share capital has increased from 6,000,000 shares of common stock to 30,000,000 shares of common stock. Our auditors have expressed their doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern unless we are able to generate profitable operations. LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Our cash balance at September 30, 2011 was $74. Management does not believe our cash balance will be enough to fund operations for the next twelve months. She has agreed to advance the company funds for operations until we begin to generate revenue from operations. OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS We have no off-balance sheet arrangements. PLAN OF OPERATION MILESTONES MAY 2008- JUNE 2008 Our corporate logo design and stationary was completed. Boreal web site began construction. We attended the Banff TV and New Media festival from the 6th-11th of June. At these two events, we made contact with three other producers and writers who we have received scripts from for packaging. We sent the scripts out for review from actors and directors. 10
JULY 2008 - DECEMBER 2008: During this phase, Boreal optioned a new film property, Crimson Falls, and we are currently in negotiations on another TV series. Our web site has its home page up with more information to follow. We secured a director for a project that we will be optioning in 2009 called "The Clinic". JANUARY 2009 -JUNE 2009 We approached a director and lead actors for "The Clinic" packaging. We also started preliminary negotiations on both director and composer for "Crimson Falls". There are four other TV projects, which we began negotiations on to option. We attended the Banff TV Festival in June 2009 and made several good connections with distributors. We are packaging two other series: Vikram Vij: India Infused and Raider of the Spice Rack. JULY 2009-DECEMBER 2009 We did a joint deal with Vancouver based Free Form Productions on three TV projects: ICON, Breakaway and My Kind of Town. We approached three different Los Angeles based agents: CAA, UTA and Rebel Entertainment to assist us with other packaging elements and meetings have been set up for the New Year - February 2010. "The Clinic" packaging is completed. Tickets and flights were booked for the NATPE conference, which is happening at the end of January 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada. JANUARY 2010-SEPTEMBER 2010 We attended the NATPE conference in Las Vegas at the end of January to market the company. We had successful meetings with NBC, Marvista, ABC Family and Lionsgate. We traveled to Los Angeles in February and met agents at Rebel Entertainment, CAA, UTA and William Morris to develop new referrals for packaging. The meetings were successful and we have started discussions with other producers. In March we secured the director for Crimson Falls - PR Brown - and started approaching key distributors on that film. In June we attended the Banff TV conference again to further develop our programs and attach other key players. OCTOBER 2010 - MARCH 2011 We have made a deal with Arclight Films to distribute Crimson Falls. We are currently in discussions with a financier in Los Angeles to complete the equity-financing component of the project. Since Arclight committed to distribution, we did not attend the American Film Market. In September we attended West Doc in Los Angeles, where we met with Discovery, History, Bravo, WETV and the Game Show Network to discuss unscripted ideas. In November we met with various talent agents in Los Angeles to start securing LOI's for the lead roles in Crimson Falls. APRIL - SEPTEMBER 2011 We were delayed in closing financing on Crimson Falls due to an integral change in the Northern Ontario film credit program, which was to supply 20% of our financing. There continued to be great interest from the talent agents we have 11
approached re: cast options for this project. We attended the Toronto Film Festival in early September to create pre-buzz for the movie. In June, we attended the Banff New Media festival to speak with distributors about other upcoming projects. OCTOBER-DECEMBER 2011 The Northern Ontario film tax credit program was reinstated and we submitted our application to them in November. We had preliminary confirmation of being shortlisted for the program. We will find out in January 2012 if we are successful. The outcome of this decision will dictate what remaining financing needs to be completed. Our CEO will be in Los Angeles for several months in the New Year, trying to secure the last leg of financing. Our meetings at TIFF went well and we secured an Ontario based producer, Michael Baker, for the production of Crimson Falls in Ontario in 2012 if the financing is completed. We also forged a relationship with Breakthrough Entertainment, a large distributor, for a possible output deal for TV movies. 12
ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS GEORGE STEWART, CPA 316 17TH AVENUE SOUTH SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98144 (206) 328-8554 FAX(206) 328-0383 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Board of Directors Boreal Productions Inc. I have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Boreal Productions Inc. (A Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the related statement of operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from September 24, 2007 (inception), to September 30, 2011. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. My responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on my audit. I conducted my audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that I plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. I believe that my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion. In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Boreal Productions Inc., (A Development Stage Company) as of September 30, 2011 and 2010, and the results of its operations and cash flows for the years then ended and from September 24, 2007 (inception), to September 30, 2011 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America. The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note # 3 to the financial statements, the Company has had no operations and has no established source of revenue. This raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plan in regard to these matters is also described in Note #3. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty. /s/ George Stewart ---------------------------- Seattle, Washington December 29, 2011 13

BOREAL PRODUCTIONS INC. (An Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS Boreal Productions Inc. (the Company) was incorporated under the laws of the State of Nevada on September 24, 2007. The Company was formed to option feature films and TV projects and then package them to sell at a profit to various studios and production companies. The Company is in the development stage. Its activities to date have been limited to capital formation, organization and development of its business plan. The Company has commenced limited operations. NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES A. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING The Company's financial statements are prepared using the accrual method of accounting. The Company has elected an September 30, year-end. B. BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE ASC No. 260, "Earnings Per Share", specifies the computation, presentation and disclosure requirements for earnings (loss) per share for entities with publicly held common stock. The Company has adopted the provisions of ASC No. 260. Basic net loss per share amounts is computed by dividing the net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share are the same as basic earnings per share due to the lack of dilutive items in the Company. C. CASH EQUIVALENTS The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. D. USE OF ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In accordance with ASC No. 250 all adjustments are normal and recurring. 18
BOREAL PRODUCTIONS INC. (An Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) E. INCOME TAXES Income taxes are provided in accordance with ASC No. 740, Accounting for Income Taxes. A deferred tax asset or liability is recorded for all temporary differences between financial and tax reporting and net operating loss carryforwards. Deferred tax expense (benefit) results from the net change during the year of deferred tax assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion of all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. F. REVENUE The Company records revenue on the accrual basis when all goods and services have been performed and delivered, the amounts are readily determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. The Company has not generated any revenue since its inception. G. ADVERTISING The Company will expense its advertising when incurred. There has been no advertising since inception. NOTE 3. GOING CONCERN The accompanying financial statements are presented on a going concern basis. The Company had no operations during the period from September 24, 2007 (date of inception) to September 30, 2011 and generated a net loss of $57,876. This condition raises substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Even though the Company is currently in the development stage and has minimal expenses, management does not believe that the company's current cash of $74 is sufficient to cover the expenses they will incur during the next twelve months. NOTE 4. WARRANTS AND OPTIONS There are no warrants or options outstanding to acquire any additional shares of common. 19
BOREAL PRODUCTIONS INC. (An Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 5. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The sole officer and director of the Company may, in the future, become involved in other business opportunities as they become available, she may face a conflict in selecting between the Company and her other business opportunities. The Company has not formulated a policy for the resolution of such conflicts. As of September 30, 2011, there is a loan payable due to Andrea Fehsenfeld for $11,000, which is non interest bearing with no specific repayment terms. NOTE 6. INCOME TAXES As of September 30, 2011 ------------------------ Deferred tax assets: Net operating tax carryforwards $ 57,876 Other 0 -------- Gross deferred tax assets 57,876 Valuation allowance (57,876) -------- Net deferred tax assets $ 0 ======== Realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon sufficient future taxable income during the period that deductible temporary differences and carryforwards are expected to be available to reduce taxable income. As the achievement of required future taxable income is uncertain, the Company recorded a valuation allowance. NOTE 7. NET OPERATING LOSSES As of September 30, 2011, the Company has a net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $57,876. Net operating loss carryforward expires twenty years from the date the loss was incurred. NOTE 8. STOCK TRANSACTIONS Transactions, other than employees' stock issuance, are in accordance with ASC No. 505. Thus issuances shall be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received. Transactions with employees' stock issuance are in accordance with ASC No. 718. These issuances shall be accounted for based on the fair value of the consideration received or the fair value of the equity instruments issued, or whichever is more readily determinable. On September 24, 2007 the Company issued a total of 15,000,000 shares of common stock to one director for cash in the amount of $0.0006 per share for a total of $9,000. 20
BOREAL PRODUCTIONS INC. (An Development Stage Company) Notes to Financial Statements September 30, 2011 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE 8. STOCK TRANSACTIONS (CONTINUED) On February 18, 2008 the Company issued a total of 15,000,000 shares of common stock to thirty investors for cash in the amount of $0.003 per share for a total of $45,000. On June 11, 2008 the Company effected a 5 for 1 forward split of its share capital such that every one share of common stock issued and outstanding prior to the split was exchanged for five post-split shares of common stock. The number of shares referred to in the previous paragraphs is post-split number of shares. The Company also changed its post-split authorized capital to 375,000,000 shares of common stock with a par value of $0.001 per share. All share amounts have been retroactively adjusted for all periods presented. As of September 30, 2011 the Company had 30,000,000 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. NOTE 9. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY The stockholders' equity section of the Company contains the following classes of capital stock as of September 30, 2011: Common stock, $ 0.001 par value: 375,000,000 shares authorized; 30,000,000 shares issued and outstanding. NOTE 10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUCEMENTS The Company has evaluated all the recent accounting pronouncements through the date the financial statements were issued and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and believe that none of them will have a material effect on the company's financial statements. 21
ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES EVALUATION OF DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and the principal financial officer (our president), we have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the evaluation date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the material information required to be included in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive and financial officer, recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms relating to our company, particularly during the period when this report was being prepared. MANAGEMENT'S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act, for the company. Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that: (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of its management and directors; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any system of internal control, and accordingly, even effective internal control can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation and may not prevent or detect material misstatements. In addition, effective internal control at a point in time may become ineffective in future periods because of changes in conditions or due to deterioration in the degree of compliance with our established policies and procedures. 22
A material weakness is a significant deficiency, or combination of significant deficiencies, that results in there being a more than remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected. Under the supervision and with the participation of our president, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, as of September 30, 2011, based on the framework set forth in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). Based on our evaluation under this framework, management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of the evaluation date due to the factors stated below. Management assessed the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of evaluation date and identified the following material weaknesses: INSUFFICIENT RESOURCES: We have an inadequate number of personnel with requisite expertise in the key functional areas of finance and accounting. INADEQUATE SEGREGATION OF DUTIES: We have an inadequate number of personnel to properly implement control procedures. LACK OF AUDIT COMMITTEE & OUTSIDE DIRECTORS ON THE COMPANY'S BOARD OF DIRECTORS: We do not have a functioning audit committee or outside directors on our board of directors, resulting in ineffective oversight in the establishment and monitoring of required internal controls and procedures. Management is committed to improving its internal controls and will (1) continue to use third party specialists to address shortfalls in staffing and to assist the Company with accounting and finance responsibilities, (2) increase the frequency of independent reconciliations of significant accounts which will mitigate the lack of segregation of duties until there are sufficient personnel and (3) may consider appointing outside directors and audit committee members in the future. Management, including our president, has discussed the material weakness noted above with our independent registered public accounting firm. Due to the nature of this material weakness, there is a more than remote likelihood that misstatements which could be material to the annual or interim financial statements could occur that would not be prevented or detected. This annual report does not include an attestation report of our registered public accounting firm regarding internal control over financial reporting. Management's report was not subject to attestation by the our registered public accounting firm pursuant to temporary rules of the SEC that permit us to provide only management's report in this annual report. 23
CHANGES IN INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the last fiscal quarter for our fiscal year ended September 30, 2011 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. PART III ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE The director and officer of Boreal Productions Inc., who will hold her offices until death, resignation, retirement, removal, disqualification, or until a time as her successor(s) shall be elected and qualified is as follows: Name and Address Age Position(s) ---------------- --- ----------- Andrea Fehsenfeld 42 President, Secretary, Treasurer 8017 Kenyon Avenue Director, CEO & CFO Los Angeles, CA 90045 The person named above has held her offices/positions since inception of our Company and is expected to hold said offices/positions until the next annual meeting of our stockholders. The named officer and director is our only officer, director, promoter and control person.

We intend to ensure to the best of our ability that all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners are complied with in a timely fashion. CODE OF ETHICS We do not currently have a code of ethics, because we have only limited business operations and only one officer and director, we believe a code of ethics would have limited utility.

Remember how "True Blood" ended last August? The Vampire Authority compound is in flames. Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer) drinks all the sacred blood supposedly preserved from Lilith (Jessica Clark), the mother of all vampires. Then Bill gruesomely dies the "true death" and reincarnates as a far-more-powerful version of who knows what.
Has he become a god? A devil? That's the burning question as Season 6 of the popular HBO series launches with Episode 61: "Who are You, Really?"
The action picks up right where it left off, at the compound turned fiery slaughterhouse. Fleeing the carnage are Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), her brother Jason (Ryan Kwanten), vampire Eric Northman (Alexander Skarsgård), his "sister" Nora (Lucy Griffiths) and vamps Jessica (Deborah Ann Woll), Tara (Rutina Wesley) and Pam (Kristin Bauer van Straten).

The compound explodes with Bill inside but he emerges very much intact, "like a naked, evil Superman," as Jason puts it. Has Bill's troubled spirit merged with Lilith?
"If Lilith is walking the earth — in any form — we have to destroy her," Nora insists. What? Kill Bill? Or Bilith?
That's just what Sookie attempts when Bill starts to strangle Eric. She plunges a stake into Bill's back but it's a mere annoyance. It'll take a lot more than that to knock this super vamp off the show.
Now the only character remaining loyal to Bill is his young progeny, Jessica.
"I don't know what I am. I don't know why I am," Bill confesses to Jessica. "I need you to keep me honest," he implores, so his newfound powers don't turn him into a monster. Jessica agrees, but it's a huge responsibility for a baby vamp.
Meanwhile, Louisiana Gov. Truman Burrell (Arliss Howard) declares war on vampires, who increasingly prey on humans because synthetic TruBlood is in short supply. "Buy a gun. Buy as many guns as you can," the Governor urges his non-vampire constituents. "Stock up on wooden bullets."
Definitely a man with a plan, the governor approaches a TruBlood manufacturer and offers use of a shuttered bottling factory. With TruBlood back on the market, vampires would once again become peaceful, taxpaying members of society, he figures. And the crafty politician would rake in lots of reelection cash.
After the governor imposes a nighttime curfew on vampires and shuts down their businesses, his troops raid the Fangtasia vamp bar and shoot feisty Tara. Good thing she's got regenerative powers.
Meanwhile, back in bucolic Bon Temps, restaurateur Sam Merlotte (Sam Trammell) mourns the loss of girlfriend Luna (Janina Gavankar), a "shapeshifter" who died while escaping the Authority. Sam enlists the help of flamboyant short-order cook Lafayette (Nelsan Ellis) to care for Luna's werewolf child, Emma (Chloe Noelle). Major bonding ensues.
As for Sheriff Andy Bellefleur (Chris Bauer) — who sired those half-human, half-faerie quadruplets with oh-so-fertile Maurella (Kristina Anapau) — he's overcome with new daddy anxiety.
"I don't know how to take care of my own babies. That's the sad truth," admits Andy, who receives diapering lessons from cousin Terry (Todd Lowe) and his wife Arlene (Carrie Preston). Those cute little girls, by the way, are growing at an incredible speed. At this rate, they'll progress from kindergarten to college in a couple of episodes.
Finally, Jason makes a strange new acquaintance when hitchhiking home. The eerie driver (Rutger Hauer) seems to know all about the ill-fated Stackhouse clan, including the murder of Jason and Sookie's parents by Warlow, an ancient and mysterious vampire.
"You cannot keep Warlow away from Sookie," the driver hisses before disappearing in a flash of light. Yikes!

Emmys 2013: A Golden Moment in Drama


text:
The year is drawing to an end. Whether or not the nation's economy gets off to a strong start next year, we should take a moment to appreciate the resilience shown by the economy in the last quarter of this year after slumping in the first three quarters amid global economic weakness, unfriendly government policies and a lack of confidence in the political leadership.
For most of this year, the economy has suffered the impact of a slowdown in China, a recession in Europe and a lackluster economic recovery in the US. However, it was the government's plans to raise energy prices and levy a capital gains tax on stock investments that negatively affected market sentiment and economic momentum, causing the GDP to grow by just 0.59 percent.
While GDP is estimated to increase 2.97 percent in the last quarter, on the back of recovering exports amid a stabilized global economy, the economy is likely to expand just 1.13 percent for the whole of this year, according to the government's forecast.
Rising inflationary pressure was once a concern, following the government's announcement in April that it would raise prices of electricity and petroleum-based fuels, with the consumer price index rising above the monetary policymakers' 2 percent growth target for the four months starting in July. Fortunately, falling prices for vegetables and fruit, plus the government's decision in September to delay the second-phase increase in electricity rates to October next year, have helped keep the inflation rate on target this year.
The issue of energy price hikes has served as a catalyst for the public and lawmakers across party lines to closely scrutinize the management efficiency of state-run enterprises, like Taiwan Power Co and CPC Corp, Taiwan, and demand accountability from the government.
However, the government's plan to launch a capital gains levy on stock investments next year left an ugly mark on the local bourse, resulting in plunging daily market turnover, weakening market sentiment and a finance minister resigning. Despite the TAIEX recovering in the final quarter, the implications of this unfavorable tax policy, along with the government's plan to levy a 2 percent supplementary premium on income earned from stock and cash dividends, has kept some investors away from the market.
Nevertheless, the nation has moved to make the real-estate market fairer by implementing the registration of actual real-estate transaction prices in August, in the wake of rising public discontent over high housing prices and widening income disparities becoming a major issue.
Great strides were achieved in resumed trade talks between Taiwan and the US after the two sides resolved the controversial issue of ractopamine residue in beef and the currency clearing mechanism between Taiwan and China, following the passage of a cross-strait agreement in late August. Smartphone brand HTC also reached a 10-year patent truce with iPhone maker Apple last month, enabling the Taiwanese firm to focus on innovation and contribute to exports.
Despite all this progress, the problems of an over-concentration of exports of information technology, increased overseas production and weakened investment by the public and private sectors will pose challenges for the economy next year in terms of employment and private consumption. Uncertainties still exist about the implementation of the securities capital gains tax and the second-generation national health insurance program at the start of next year, the pace of global recovery and the government's measures to revitalize Taiwan's economy.

Golden Globes red carpet hits and misses
The Golden Globes are typically considered the warmups to the Oscars, not as fancy given the evening's more relaxed format. But Sunday's ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel showed the entertainment world's A-list actresses intent on bringing their A-game.
Considering all the fuss they go to, we reserve the right to ponder and critique their efforts, just as we do their performances. So here are some musings on the red carpet parade.
Among the hits:
1. Tying for first place were two JMs: Julianne Moore in sleek black and white Tom Ford and Julianna Margulies' Emilio Pucci black gown, which was both revealing and covered up. Combining it with a high ponytail was clever styling. The pictures on the red carpet don't do Margulies' dress justice.
2. Marion Cotillard was among the few actresses who didn't wear a full-length gown. Her orange-red Raf Simons for Christian Dior dress had an asymmetric hemline and by wearing her hair down, she looked young and beautiful. Also in orange-like hues were Jennifer Lawrence and Jessica Alba. Red was popular color on the red carpet, too — chosen by Claire Danes and Zooey Deschanel.
3. Nicole Kidman can usually be counted on for a red carpet moment and she delivered in a slim Alexander McQueen with detailing around the shoulders and a cut-out midriff. She said that playing Grace Kelly for an upcoming role "reignited her interest in fashion."
4. Kerry Washington's Miu Miu dress was both simple and sophisticated and her hair matched. Her Prada shoes and bag made it an Italian design trifecta.
5. Anne Hathaway was perfection in a white strapless beaded Chanel. The restraint of the silhouette and minimal accessories kept the focus on Hathaway and not her clothes.
It's hard to stop at just five here, because we also loved Naomi Watts in Zac Posen, Taylor Swift in a plum Donna Karan gown and Kate Hudson in a slim black and gold number.
And now for he misses:
1. Rachel Weisz' Louis Vuitton dress played peek-a-boo at the shoulder and on the skirt and just wasn't flattering. Considering how hard it is for her to not look fantastic, it was just a disappointment.
2. Julianne Hough is another one who can pull off about any look, but the big white, beaded Monique Lhuillier gown was a little too Fairy Godmother for an awards ceremony.
3. Jessica Chastain usually kills it at these events, but not this time. The droopy bodice on her Calvin Klein Collection seafoam dress might have been meant to evoke the water but looked washed-up instead.
4. Sienna Miller was gorgeous as "The Girl" in her turn as Tippi Hedren in HBO's Hitchcock pic, but her two-piece Erdem dress with floral appliques came off as boxy and frumpy.
5. Lucy Liu, another beauty, made a misstep in wearing a Carolina Herrera printed gown so volumninous the fabric could have covered a sofa with material to spare for curtains.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 136 diseños de 41 diseñadores freelance.
Need a designer's imagination to design a corporate logo for a new property finding service in the south of France. Logo will be used as the basis for the website (based on colours and style of winning entry) as well as to appear on letter-heads, business cards etc. Cool, professional and slick is the key.....good luck!
****amendment - as the competition has gone on, we've realised that although the above (cool, professional and slick) are still important that we need a slightly relaxed feel to the logo too - thanks!****
Discerning Properties
Discerning Properties is a new bespoke property finding service in the French Riviera (Cannes, St Tropez etc). The company is a start-up though a spin-off from a successful property company my wife and I set-up last year in the region. I do not want to give away the name of the company/website as I want Discerning Properties to have its own, seperate corporate brand, look and feel. We are appealing to high-end customers where professionalism and ease-of-use will be key - we need this to be reflected in the logo so nothing too "busy". Based on the winning logo I will design the whole website around the colours and style of the winning entry so it will define the whole look and feel of the company.
- The Name must appear in full (not case sensitive) and must be clear and easy to read.
- The logo should be primarily text based but symbols/a design can be incorporated in the logo
- Clean, simple, contemporary designs - nothing too busy/complicated
- No more than 3 colours (plus white in addition if you wish).
- Subtle, cool colours - nothing too vibrant (am thinking blues/greys/silver but of course open to other colours/combos)
- Entries should be presented in both "horizontal format" to go across the top of the website and in "vertical format" to go on letterheads/business cards etc (if you feel one design can be used in both contexts that is fine).
- Entries in the format of high quality .JPG please
- Vibrant colours - we're looking for cool, sleek and professional
- cartoon style designs
- Anything too fussy/busy
- not huge fan of roofs unless used with a lot of taste!

Tips for Helping Kids Try New FoodsDecember 21st, 2013
Preschool teachers rock! This teacher's joy lifts my spirits every time I watch the video. While signing Rah, Rah, Radishes and Go, Go, Grapes last year in Atlanta, I met this fabulous teacher who agreed to share how she gets the 4-year olds in her class to try foods. The video is on my youtube channel. Jeff and I have also posted some of our nature clips on our Sayre Nature Youtube Channel.

With a new year often comes a new resolution to eat better and make healthier choices. But as the economy continues to struggle, many parents are left wondering how to provide healthy food options while shopping on a budget. Although nutrient-dense foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains, are often more costly than less healthful options, there are ways families can pull the purse strings tighter without compromising on nutrition.
"Even though many families will be shopping on a budget in the new year, nutrition doesn't necessarily have to come in second place to price," said Robert Murray, MD, director of the Center for Healthy Weight and Nutrition at Nationwide Children's Hospital. "Parents need to look at what they're paying for and determine if there are less costly ways to achieve the same nutritional benefits."
According to Dr. Murray, also a faculty member at The Ohio State University College of Medicine, there are five food fads to be aware of in 2009 so that parents can make smart food – and money – choices.
The fresh versus frozen debate
When it comes to fruits and vegetables, don't assume fresh is best. Buying food in bulk, either frozen or canned, can save a lot of money. In recent years, preservation and freezing methods have dramatically improved, thus preserving the nutritional quality of the frozen fruits and vegetables. Regardless of how they are consumed – frozen or otherwise – fruits and vegetables provide many nutritional benefits.
Dr. Murray suggests taking advantage of grocery store sales and stocking up on frozen goods. Parents can also consider freezing their own fruits and vegetables when they are in-season and plentiful.
What's "organic" worth?
When a food item is certified organic, it refers to the methods used to grow or produce the food. Contrary to the beliefs of many, organic foods offer no additional nutritional benefit compared to their non-organic counterparts, but do cost more.
"Concerns about hormones, antibiotics or pesticides have driven many to choose organic foods," explained Dr. Murray. "But don't be fooled into thinking that because something is labeled organic that it is any healthier."
Designer fruits and vegetables
In recent years, exotic and often heavily-marketed fruits, like pomegranate and açai berries, have become increasingly popular. While these fruits are rich in antioxidants and vitamins, they also come with a hefty price tag.
"These fruits do have many health benefits, but many of the same benefits can be found in other more common fruits for a much cheaper price," said Dr. Murray.
Instead of paying high prices for these fad foods, Dr. Murray recommends other dark, ruby-skinned fruits like blueberries, plums or blackberries that are easier on the wallet.
Fortified beverages
Be careful of drinks that are fortified with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Not only do they cost more, they often have more calories than you think. Some pack as many calories as a regular soda, and from a nutrition standpoint, it makes more sense to eat foods that are naturally rich in vitamins and minerals.
Sports drinks, rich in electrolytes, may be a good choice for serious athletes who participate in intense physical activity for extended periods of time, but for most children and adults, these drinks are also unnecessary.
Paying for prepackaged
Prepackaged, grab-and-go options offer convenience and portion control but can cost more. For some busy families, the time saved by purchasing these items, especially prepackaged fruits and vegetables, may be worth the additional expense. This is particularly true if the convenience of these items encourages families to make more nutritious choices.
For families looking for a cheaper option, Dr. Murray suggests purchasing bulk items and individually packaging them at home for an easy, on-the-go grab. Plan snacks ahead of time and be sure to combine food groups to maximize nutritional value. For example, combine whole grain crackers and low-fat cheese in plastic storage bags; or peel and cut carrots into snack-sized pieces and place in containers with a couple tablespoons of peanut butter. Be sure to pay attention to portion size in order to avoid serving up too much of a good thing.

Four Helicopter Accidents and Seven Fatalities in Just Eight Days:
These Grim Statistics Reflect the Need for a Culture Change Says the IHST.
From Oct. 10th to Oct 17th, the U.S. helicopter community experienced four accidents that started out as "routine" general aviation/private flights, but each ended with fatal results.
Although each of these accidents must be fully investigated before a probable cause is determined, their circumstances reflect a need for the private helicopter pilot and helicopter community to take a critical look at its risk mitigation efforts and safety practices.
Seven people will not be coming home to their families, but this fact is not the result of them taking on a perilous task. Despite repeated TV and newspaper reports to the contrary, treacherous missions are not at the root of a stubbornly persistent helicopter accident rate and helicopter fatalities.
As an industry, we need to focus on the "expected, easy" mission and on conventional risks such as changes in weather. One out of every five rotorcraft accidents occurs during "routine" general aviation/private flying, and another one out of five accidents occurs during instruction flights.
Pilots are returning from golf outings, taking quick sales trips, and making other uneventful, ordinary, mundane flights. But each one of these ordinary, everyday, short trips includes serious and critical safety factors and decisions that will either prevent or result in an accident. The risk assessment of night flying, of weather, of fatigue, and stress require a refocus by helicopter pilots and operators, especially during the "ordinary" flights. When stepping into a helicopter, every passenger and every pilot should think about the simple risks identified in the flight and how the risks will be mitigated to an acceptable level.
We are learning a grim lesson: Many pilots are not evaluating the risk when they feel it is a standard, low-risk flight and the consequences of this mindset are tragic.
