While shopping in Napoli is part of the holiday fun, you can still find many of our favorite regional items online. This is Sauced & Found's top five gift picks for the holiday season. All are made in Italy. They are sure to remind the Italophile in your life of our Bella Napoli.
Vesuian Tomato Sauce
Vesuvian tomatoes are a thing of beauty and they get even better around Christmas time. Family run farms on the slopes of Vesuvius store hanging tomatoes in special cellars until the Christmas season when they become extremely concentrated and sweet. We serve them with pasta and seafood here in Naples and the Amalfi Coast. While difficult to find in the United States, buy Canned Afeltra Tomatoes at Eataly or San Marzano Tomato Seeds as stocking stuffers. Make Sauced & Found's favorite ragù
Gragnano Pasta
Gragnano Pasta is the best pasta in all of Italy. It holds its shape and is perfect when tossed with simple sauce of garlic and olive oil or wholesome ragù. The best brands are Di Martino, Afeltra and The Fabbrica della Pasta di Gragnano. An pasta loving gourmand will appreciate a stash of Gragnano pasta and lucky for you, it is available on Amazon.
Just remember, spaghetti goes with clams, bucatini with tomato sauces and penne goes with ragù. The local favorite shape is paccheri which is serves with Sunday ragù.
Solimene Ceramic Plates
What to serve all this pasta and tomato sauce on? Why Solimene Ceramic plates of course. The Amalfi Coast Town of Vietri Sul Mare specialized in ceramic production and the Solimene factory is the best in town. It is a blast to browse, but for now, you can content yourselves with their online retailer. They ship overseas! Serve your Italian style Christmas Eve dinner on these plates and you will be instantly transported to the Amalfi Coast!
Torre del Grecco Coral Jewelry
Torre del Grecco has been making corral pendants since Roman times. Their jewelry which ranges in price from reasonable to astronomical makes it part of the fun of browsing. Any self respecting Neapolitan lady will have at least one piece of corral jewelry in her repertoire. My favorites are the rings. Antonino de Simone is among the best.
Marinella Ties
Presidents, kings and priests have all worn Marinella. Everyone known Naples is the best place in the world for fashionable mens suits. And Marinella ties are about as classy as it gets. They have a gem of a store in the glitzy Chiaia neighborhood of Naples and a sizable collection available online.

I have been thinking a great deal about the Christian's responsibility to the poor and to social justice. More to come, but for now, a few words for thought:
"The poor wretch cries to me for alms: I look and see him covered with dirt and rags. But through these I see one that has an immortal spirit, made to know and love and dwell with God to eternity: I honor him for his Creator's sake. I see through all these rags that he is purpled over with the blood of Christ. I love him for the sake of his Redeemer."
(From a sermon by John Wesley, 1703-1791. Wesley was a leader in the Methodist movement, which made great strides in using the gospel not only to minister to souls, but to the practical needs of social justice. Wesley himself spent his life ministering to the poor.)
"He who oppresses the poor shows contempt for their Maker,but whoever is kind to the needy honors God." ( Proverbs 14:31)
For words from a more familiar face, I cannot more highly suggest checking out Bono's acceptance speech at the NAACP awards, posted on a friend's blog. The last two minutes are astounding.

Mandalay Baseball Transacts More Business - Sells Las Vegas 51s Franchise
By Jim Gemma / Las Vegas 51s | October 31, 2007 8:43 AM
Mandalay Baseball Properties is an industry leader as the owner/operator of multiple franchises, including: Dayton Dragons (Single-A, Cincinnati Reds); Erie SeaWolves (Double-A, Detroit Tigers); Frisco RoughRiders (Double-A, Texas Rangers); Hagerstown Suns (Single-A, Washington Nationals); Scranton-Wilkes Barre Yankees (Triple-A, New York Yankees); Staten Island Yankees (Short-Season A, New York Yankees) and the Las Vegas 51s (Triple-A, Los Angeles Dodgers). Mandalay Baseball recently acquired Scranton and Staten Island in partnership with the New York Yankees.
"Mandalay will continue to look for exciting opportunities to expand our baseball operations," Mandalay Baseball Properties CEO Ken Stickney said. "While we remain bullish on the prospects of minor league baseball in Las Vegas, we just thought this was the right opportunity to redeploy assets in other team opportunities."
The 51s completed their 25th PCL Season (1983-2007) at Cashman Field in September. The 51s organization is the longest enduring franchise in the history of professional sports in Southern Nevada.
"We are excited with the opportunity to continue to provide the baseball fans of Southern Nevada first-class family entertainment," Drew Dondero, Manager of the Stevens Group, said.
"It has been great having Mandalay Baseball Properties as the owner of our Triple-A franchise," 51s President/General Manager Don Logan said. "The vision and resources that a company like Mandalay provides has enabled us to be a very successful franchise in the Las Vegas market. The sale of the club will not effect the operations and management or the positive direction in which the 51s have been moving over the past few seasons."
The sale is subject to regulatory approval of the Pacific Coast League and the Commissioners of Major League and Minor League Baseball.
This story was not subject to the approval of the National Association of Professional Baseball Leagues or its clubs.View More

|The Drublog clan of Wood Orcs captured the Silvenar. I need to infiltrate Jathsogur and do whatever's necessary to free him.
Quick Walkthrough
- Free Raen and Sariel.
- Find the Ritual of Unbinding.
- Talk to Ambassador Sariel.
- Find the Runestone of Malacath.
- Talk to Ambassador Raen.
- Enter the Southern Longhouse.
- Talk to Raen and Sariel.
- Disrupt the ritual.
- Investigate the fortress.
- Free the Silvenar.
Detailed Walkthrough
Talk to the Silvenar east of the Abamath Wayshrine. Wood Orcs, the Drublog, from Jathsogur captured him and his traveling companions. He asks you to rescue his advisors first since they can tell you more about the attack and help you free him. Some kind of powerful magic ensnares him. When you agree to help him he tells you their names: Raen and Sariel.
They are to the north in the northern longhouse. Talk to both of them. Sariel says the Drublog bound the Silvenar with a ritual book and giant crystals.
The Ritual of Unbinding is northeast of the longhouse, guarded by Orulu, an ogrim. Talk to Sariel about the book. She thinks you could reverse the ritual and give the Silvenar back his energy. You need to find the runestone, the conduit for the ritual. She thinks the runestone is at the other Daedric shrine.
The Runestone of Malacath is south of the Daedric altar where you found the ritual book. Another ogrim, Neechar, guards the runestone. Talk to Raen about it. He suggests you examine them in the southern longhouse, where you will be safe.
- "I understand what needs to be done. Read the book. One of us must die to save the Silvenar."'
- One of us must die? Why?
- "Daedric rituals often come at such a cost. Obviously, I should be sacrificed. I'm the weakest of us."—Sariel
- "It's a hard choice, but a simple one. It's my duty to die protecting the Silvenar. I failed once, so badly I can't fight anymore. The Silvenar needs advisors like Sariel."—Raen
Use the runestone on the ambassador you want to sacrifice, then talk to the other. You need to disrupt the binding stones in the towers surrounding the main building. Use the runestone, now a rune key, on the stones to sever their connection to the ritual. The survivor offers their totem spirit to help you. Sariel's spirit animal is a lion that heals you. Raen's is a bear.
You need to disrupt four stones. They are Essence, Magicka, Spirit and Memory.
After destroying the stones, enter the Silvenar's prison inside the fortress on the hill. Enter the Chieftain's Quarters and defeat Drauginas, the Silvenar's captor.
Follow the projection of the Silvenar down the ramp to the Silvenar. Talk to him. The binding stones severed his link to the Bosmer. He needs you to defend him while he regains his energy. Let him know when you are ready, and he surrounds himself in a blue bubble of magic while you defeat more Wood Orcs. Defeat four waves of enemies, then talk to the Silvenar.
The Silvenar opens a portal. Follow him through the portal. He will hurry to Silvenar as soon as his magicka returns.

A 2:17 p.m. flight last Tuesday from Miles City to Gillette and Denver illustrated the financial challenges of screening passengers and luggage at the country's smallest airports to meet federal Homeland Security standards.
Two Great Lakes Airlines ticket agents and four Transportation Security Administration screeners prepared for the flight of the 19-seat Beechcraft.
All for 15-year-old Justin Ralston, the only passenger to board the plane.
Screening at the seven small airports that dot Eastern Montana will cost nearly $11 million over five years for planes that carry few passengers.
But Debbie Alke, administrator of the Montana Aeronautics Division in Helena, said there is no choice in this era of terrorism.
"Montana had the only airports in the country that didn't have the TSA presence after 9/11, when it was mandated for all airports," Alke said. "You'd hear from some people they weren't comfortable flying to Billings without screening."
Until March 8, 2008, when the now-defunct Big Sky Airlines stopped serving the state's federally subsidized airports, passengers needed only a ticket to board a plane. Security checks waited until landing at larger airports like Billings.
"They'd have to get off the plane, take a bus to the front of the airport, get their bags and then go through the screening process to catch another flight," Alke said.
But letting people hop on a plane unchecked, even in the tiny commercial airport of Wolf Point, doesn't work anymore.
Last February, when Great Lakes started taking over the former Big Sky routes to Glasgow, Glendive, Havre, Lewistown, Miles City, Sidney and Wolf Point, federal employees working for the federal TSA handled the screening. But in August, Trinity Technology Group, based in Fairfax, Va., won the federal contract and has been taking over from TSA employees. Last week, Trinity and a subcontractor, Covenant Aviation Security LLC, began screening at the last three cities of Glasgow, Havre and Wolf Point.
The seven airports are supported by federal subsidies under the Essential Air Service program because they serve rural areas where there aren't enough customers for airlines to turn a profit. As Big Sky was going out of business in 2008, Great Lakes won the $8.5 million contract to fly the routes through January 2011.
"The (screener) uniforms look different, but the service is the same," said Monica Taylor, Great Lakes director of sales and marketing. "They are still under the umbrella of TSA and have to meet all the requirements."
Trinity now employs about 28 people in Montana, generally two women and two men, for face-to-face screenings seven days a week at each airport.
Critics of privatizing airline screening argue that the companies might be tempted to hire more part-time workers to shave costs, putting profits before security.
But William Scott, senior program manager for Trinity Technology Group, said that isn't what's happening with his company.
"I've tailored the work schedules to ensure the individuals are getting as many hours as we can facilitate for them. That gives the employees a better way of life," he said from his Billings office.
For hardscrabble communities, the jobs pay well. Wages start at $14.30 an hour, and supervisors earn $22. Trinity pays 90 percent of the medical plan costs and kicks in a 5 percent match to employee 401(k) retirement plans. Full benefits start at 20 hours, making the jobs easy to fill in Montana, Scott said.
Sidney, perhaps the busiest airport of the seven, has four flights per day, so Trinity screeners are kept busy. In Butte, however, where there are two Delta Air Lines flights per day, full-time TSA screeners spend about two hours a day handing passengers, said Rick Griffith, director of Butte's Bert Mooney Airport.
Still, it's not the cost per passenger at small airports that matters most, Scott said. It's the security of the whole U.S. system.
"What people fail to realize is these smaller airports are portals," he said. "If a passenger gets on in Lewistown and isn't screened properly, he's then in Denver and he can get on an Airbus."
In addition to accommodating screening personnel, the small airports have had to build screening facilities.
With the Federal Aviation Administration paying 90 percent of the costs, Wolf Point spent $398,100 to build an addition for screening. The space sat vacant for a year until Great Lakes resumed flying the Big Sky routes in early 2009.
Sidney had extra space and spent $45,000 to remodel it into a screening facility with a waiting room and a bathroom.
"If we don't do the security that complements the whole system, we may as well not do it," said Sidney-Richland County Airport Manager Director Bill Henderson.
How the most recent terrorist attack, the Christmas Day attempt by a Nigerian man to set off a small explosive aboard a plane flying from Amsterdam to Detroit, will affect security procedures in Montana isn't clear yet.
"We can't comment on any increased security measures TSA has directed," said Trinity's Scott. "But, with the partnership between us, any TSA changes would be reflected in our operations."
Generally, all airport screening in the U.S. is handled either by TSA or a private contractor.
However, some airports, such as Jackson Hole, Wyo., handle their own screening without a contractor.
And some airports in Western Montana want to try a hybrid model.
Butte, Missoula, Kalispell and West Yellowstone have asked the federal government's permission to switch airport screening from TSA to a partnership between the public airport and a private company.
After checking out three or four contractors, Butte's Griffith said his city decided to work with Covenant Aviation Security, which has an office in Anaconda.
"There are no airports that are offering a joint proposal," Griffith said. "We are proposing that we be the first, but it's TSA's choice."
However, the decision is being held up because Congress hasn't approved a new director for TSA, he said. Cities, especially key tourism destinations, hope to gain more flexibility from private companies so they can schedule more screening during busy flight months. Cash-strapped cities also want a cut of the federal money awarded for screening.
Paying for airline travel and screening is no different in sparsely populated areas like Montana than building the interstate highway system half a century ago, Griffith said.
"If Billings wasn't connected to Butte or wasn't connected to Wyoming, it would be an independent, isolated community sitting out there," Griffith said. "It takes the highways and airports to connect them."
Scott served 26 years in the U.S. Army and Army Reserves, including tours in Iraq, and worked at TSA for seven years. As a security specialist, he said heightened checks aren't going away.
"If you're going to find the bad guys, it will be by person, not by machine," Scott said. "This is a way of life. This is the way we're going to do business."

Aging in place has become the main choice for senior citizens as many more seniors are choosing to live in their homes than leave for care at a retirement home or assisted living facility. The higher number of seniors choosing to age in place means that there is a need for in-home care providers to help them live safely and comfortably.
Seniors who choose to remain in their homes may need assistance with personal hygiene, transportation, and housekeeping to varying degrees. At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide in-home care services for seniors aging in place in Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, FL and the surrounding areas. Our caregivers are ready to provide non-medical care and assistance to help your loved ones live comfortably and safely at home.
Experienced Caregivers
The caregivers of Assisting Hands Home Care have been properly screened and trained to ensure that we are sending skilled, respectable individuals into the home of your family.
Our caregivers are not only dedicated to providing quality care, but they are also compassionate, caring individuals who will provide your loved ones with excellent companionship. We understand that each individual's care needs are different, and we will work with you and your loved ones to create a personalized care plan.
You can expect our caregivers to provide the following types of personal care:
- Assistance with Daily Routines: Many of the daily activities people take for granted, such as getting dressed, bathing, or using the restroom, are much more difficult for seniors. Our caregivers will help seniors through their daily routines.
- Transfer Assistance: We can help those with limited mobility get into and out of their bed, couch, or wheelchair.
- Bathing and Showering: It is important for seniors to bathe or shower regularly. We can help seniors who need assistance bathing.

- Dressing: We can help your loved ones get dressed each morning and ready for bed at night.
- Personal Appearance: We can help seniors maintain their personal appearance with help grooming.

- Grocery Shopping: We can take care of important errands including grocery shopping and picking up medication.
- Light Housekeeping: We can provide light housekeeping such as vacuuming, dusting, dish washing, and mopping to keep the home clean.
- Companionship: It is common for seniors to experience loneliness which can lead to depression. Our caregivers will act as a social companion as well as a caregiver, engaging your loved one in conversation and other fun activities.
Aging in place has become the preferred option for seniors because it allows them to stay in a familiar environment and have more control over their lives. Getting the care they need right in their own home makes it possible for seniors to age in place safely. At Assisting Hands Home Care, we provide full in-home care services for seniors in Fort Myers, Bonita Springs, Cape Coral, FL and the surrounding areas who have chosen to age in their home.

Interested in learning about Japanese culture for business before the trip?
But no time for one day training ?
No problem.
I make it a concise, 30 min Dinner Talk for busy executives.
In January 2017, I resumed my coaching sessions at my Japanese SALON at villa "Oud Holland", Bussum.
A group of talented young professionals and entrepreneurs from the Dutch gaming industry was making their trip to Tokyo Game Shows for meetings with some leading Japanese game companies.
Organised by Rangemu, who connect the Dutch and Japanese game industry, I have given a half day seminar, to prepare for their meetings and make communication strategy.
In Japan, January is an important month for our business and life. We start the year with many rituals to wish that good luck will follow through the year. I am curious to know how your company started a new year and how you started a new year.
I started New Year Calligraphy at Japanese Salon, in 2009 in Amsterdam and over the years, the program has evolved and became a poplar workshop for self-development and team building throughout the year.
Proudly present the exhibition "The Seasons" with 12 art works of Jiro Inagaki with my Haiku for each month. Brining Japanese nature into Dutch office.
A law firm in Amsterdam Zuid, a newly renovated office with beautiful straight lines with black steel and glasses, a minimalistic Dutch design welcomed this warm natural touch and soften the office atmosphere.
Jiro' Inagaki's art works have brought the touch of nature into the office and soften the working environment with earthy natural handcrafted paper collage.
Last Saturday, I gave my second TED talk.
It was really a valuable experience again and I am going to share with you 5 tips if you are to give a talk like in the setting of TEDx.

A few weeks ago, we came to the conclusion that history's most perfect pop song is Todd Rundgren's 'I Saw The Light'. To be fair, I suppose I should acknowledge that you didn't have much say in the outcome, I just decided on your behalf.
Today, in a similar spirit of one-handed democracy, 'we' are going to contemplate the greatest pop performance of all time. For although Todd turns in a cheery offering, as he reminds us that he ran out before, but he won't do it anymore, he doesn't make us go gooey inside, and make us want to marry him and father his children, unlike the heart-sappingly delicious woman who, by a clear margin, produced the greatest vocal ever heard in popular music history.
In 1969, to be too cool for school, it was essential, if you were a young fellow striving for credibility in the playground, to be seen clutching The Band, or Crosby, Stills and Nash's debut albums. You might just about have got away with Abbey Road.
Girls with cheesecloth blouses and flyaway hair wept delicately over their Pentangle album and, if especially prone to bouts of uncontrollable tears, Laura Nyro's 'New York Tendaberry'.
Whilst acknowledging all of the above, and especially ensuring I was very able to discuss Joni Mitchell's 'Clouds', if it meant an actual conversation with a girl, my soul was stirred by music that was delivered on 7" singles, in a simple silver and grey sleeve, with an even simpler label that had one word outlined in bigger letters than the name of the artist and the song: 'Motown'.
On the cusp of setting off on her solo career, Diana Ross recorded an album of cover versions with the Supremes and The Temptations. Never intended as a single, track four began to gain airplay both on the R&B stations and, crucially for the launch of the international success of the track, the mainstream top forty stations.
"I'm Gonna Make You Love Me" features Eddie Kendricks from The Temptations as Diana's foil, with dreamy, sublime backing vocals from (deep breath) Mary Wilson, Cindy Birdsong, Otis Williams, Melvin Franklin, Paul Williams and Dennis Edwards. Step forward also, the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, and the Motown in-house session band, the Funk Brothers.
Diana Ross had grown up in the projects of Detroit; she was twenty-five years old, and she knew what the boys wanted. Yet Diana was never ever the girl next door. She was born to shimmer, to sparkle with an iridescence that could turn men (and especially Surrey schoolboys) into blushing wrecks, with her mascara drenched, dark, dark eyes.
On IGMYLM, Diana only sings one verse and a chorus and then breathes out half of a spoken middle eight, but oh baby, how she infuses them into the deepest depths of our aching soul. In fact, we're one minute and seven seconds in before she skillfully instructs to "Lookie here…" and yet in this verse, Diana finds the perfect tone of sensuality that has us gasping as she ends lines with "Oooh baby" and "Hey baby…"
Already I want to get on the first flight to Detroit and propose marriage, undying fidelity, and if at all possible, make the first bid to sire seventeen of her children.
Her voice, moist and misty, advises (it isn't a warning – nobody would run away) that she intends to use every trick in the book; "I'll try my best to get you hooked" and then that breathy "Hey baby…"
"Look out boy, 'cos I'm gonna get you" is delivered with a luscious, heavenly confidence, with a broad smile of certainty.
Then, the chorus,
"I'm gonna make you love me; Ooh yes I will, yes I will; And I'm gonna make you love me; Ooh yes I will, yes I will (you know I will)".
That final emphatic "You know I will" is sung with such passion, that, in 1969, radios were known to have melted due to the heat and fire generated by that line.
If by this time, we are still just about able to breathe, Diana Ross fires the ultimate weapon of eroticism: her ability to sigh a few lines of a Gamble & Huff middle eight as if she were Juliet, on the balcony, vowing her love to Romeo of the Montagues.
"Every breath I take, and each and every step I make, brings me closer baby, closer to you."
And apart from a spirited reaffirmation on the fade, she's gone. Three minutes and five seconds that encapsulate everything that pop music should be – a great song, superb arrangement, an unsurpassed supporting cast, and the greatest vocal performance ever heard on a pop record. A performance of confidence, panache, style and passion; Diana Ross.

The SFWMD held a final EAA Reservoir public hearing on December 21, 2017 in West Palm. The good news is that cost projections have been attached to each model AND the District included benefits to Florida Bay. Both of these critical components were missing from earlier presentations, causing an out-cry from anyone keeping a close eye on the reservoir progress.
The nitty gritty of the progress can be studied in the latest EAA Reservoir Feasibility Study . The models have been drawn with scientific accuracy, and all models demonstrate a considerable advantage to all affected estuaries. But, let's dig deeper into what is happening here.
Not Good Enough
When viewing the options presented by the District, it is impossible to determine whether we are getting the best possible reservoir scenario because we are only being presented with one set of modelling results. All models have been run, considering the use of only currently available state owned parcels.
SB10 (Senate Bill 10) clearly states that "optimal configuration" should be considered during planning and that land swaps, sale, and leases should be considered when determining the best case scenario. This step is being overlooked.
Without these comparisons, how can the public, the legislators, or even the SFWMD determine if the models that are being presented are optimal? We have nothing to compare them to. How can anyone know what the potential for maximum reservoir function is if we are taking a myopic view of how to optimize the intent of the reservoir project?
Perception Problem
The District is trying to be transparent and engaged with the public by holding public meetings about the reservoir. In fact, they are doing a very good job at fueling a fire of fear and mistrust across all sectors.
During the latest public hearing, the environmentalists left feeling duped, angry, frustrated and paranoid. The modelling process is incomplete without looking at all possible scenarios.
The hearty Glades Lives Matter contingent representing the EAA farming communities left feeling duped, angry, frustrated and paranoid. For this group, the reservoir represents an impending land grab.
The District is unable or unwilling to give the environmentalists what they want and they are unable or unwilling to quell the fears of the farmers by reassuring them that a land grab is not an option.
The trend in water management appears to be on its usual course.
Email Joe?
Frustrated by this entire unfolding of events? It would be worth it to give Senate President Joe Negron a call at 954-424-6674 or shoot him and email to tell him that everyone needs more information before moving forward on the EAA Reservoir.

Reformation 500
Reformation - Dialogue for Unity
Click here for joint statements from New Zealand Catholics and Lutherans coming out of the Aotearoa-New Zealand Dialogue.
Dialogue for Unity - As Reformation Remembered
For details of commemoration events near you visit the
Reformation 500 Events page.
Commemorating the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation
2017 is the 500th Anniversary of the Lutheran Reformation. On 31 October 1517 Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg. That action started a chain of events which shaped the course of the church and the course of Western civilization, in a way that is still significant today.
The Reformation is a formative event for those of us who are members of the Lutheran Church here in New Zealand and for the 80 million people who identify as Lutherans across the world.
The Reformation is a witness to the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which is the foundation of all Christian faith. The Reformation therefore provides a witness for all Christians in all churches.
The Reformation also stimulated changes to the thinking of people across Europe in the 16th Century, which shaped massive social and political developments across the Western world and beyond. The commemoration is a time to reclaim the spiritual grounding behind many of our social institutions.
This commemoration is being planned as an ecumenical event across the world. In particular Lutherans and Catholics are seeking to use this commemoration as a time of growing together and healing the divisions and conflicts that followed the Reformation, with the Gospel of Christ as the bond that draws us closer together.
In 2016 the Lutheran Church in New Zealand and Australia reaches 50 years in its present form. Formerly independent church bodies came together to form the Lutheran Church of Australia (LCA) in 1966.
In 2017 the Lutheran Church as a worldwide movement reaches 500 years,
commemorating the action of Martin Luther that triggered the Reformation.
The Lutheran Church celebrates both of these events with a recommitment to its historic faith, embracing the freedom that is given in the Gospel, and
looking to the Lord to lead into the future.

New biofuels could give the Upper Peninsula economy a boost.
"It's a good fit for the region. It's a game changer," said Pat Tucker of Lost Bowl Development.
Biofuels, which are fuels made directly from organic materials like wood or algae, will soon breathe life back into the former Smurfit-Stone Container paper mill in Ontonagon.
SynSel Energy of Illinois and Lost Bowl Development of Ontonagon plan to begin construction next year on a $300 million dollar biorefinery.
SynSel chose the Smurfit-Stone site for several reasons.
"Ontonagon has the industrial infrastructure in place that we need, and it is right in the back yard of the feed stock that we need for the plant," said Brian Buckta, senior vice president of administration at SynSel Energy, Inc.

Balancing Table Top
We include balancing table top in some of our warmups as a way to start actively engaging your body. Here are our top tips if you ever need a little help with this pose:
Press through the top of your lowered foot. If you're still having trouble with balance, you can tuck your lowered toes to provide more stability.
Engage your core! We can't say this enough. Imagine pulling your bellybutton toward your spine. If you have lower back pain, keep both hands on the mat as you build up your core strength.
Fold your mat once beneath your knees (or use a towel) if you have knee pain.
Don't forget to leave a comment or message if there's a pose that you would like to see on our Tuesday Tips!

Set in an area of outstanding natural beauty this project involves the redevelopment of a former Woolen Mill that dates back to 1769 when it was part of an important industrial scene overlooking the River Harbourne in South Devon. See The Mill brochure here
The River Harbourne was once booming and roaring with the sound of human industry and endeavor, as it was host to a number of Mills that harnessed the water of the river to drive its Mill machines. It is now a beautifully quiet location that backs on to the river with an abundance of wild life including herons and trout. View the individual plots below:
|Plot 1
|Plot 2
|Plot 3
|Plot 4
|Plot 5
|Plot 6
|Plot 7
|Site Plan
The Mill is a Grade II listed Woolen Mill which we are converting sympathetically in to 7 luxury town houses ranging from 3 to 7 bedrooms. We are paying very careful attention to the historic detail as we preserve the history of this outstanding building for generations to enjoy. See The Mill Pricelist here
With a clever combination of contemporary design and traditional materials we are harmoninsing the original character and features with modern functionality. With the benefit of southerly facing gardens, each of these luxury town houses will provide wonderful homes. View the landscaping plans here. Landscaping – The Mill
We will be releasing more detail about this exciting Mill development in coming weeks and aim to be complete in the Autumn of this year.

Proform 590 E Elliptical Review
Another breakthrough fitness machine from one of the trusted names in the fitness world is the ProForm 590E elliptical. It has the right features you need for your weight loss goals. It has 14 Performance Workouts, designed by a Certified Personal Trainer to help you push your limits. To have a more intense workout and increased calorie burn, you can choose from the 16 digital resistance levels, and adjust the incline of your stride through the intensity ramp so you can focus on those stubborn parts like the glutes, calves and quads. The ProForm 590E elliptical is equipped with upper body arms for a total body workout in just a single fitness machine. Also, featured in this effective fitness machine is the iFit workout card technology which allows you to listen to a voice of a personal trainer guiding you every step of your routine. Added features of the ProForm 590E elliptical include the following: an EKG heart rate monitor for you to stay within your target heart rate zone, oversized pedals for different footing position, an Intermix Acoustics 2.0 sound system, a ClearView Backlit display for access to your workout progress, a workout fan and a weight capacity of 300 lbs. Good points: A fair number (14) of built in workouts included for the price which can be expanded upon using iFit cards Intensity ramp function allows you to target specifc muscle groups Supports external MP3 player Bad points: Average in terms of durability No distinguishing features that really set it apart Comments: The Proform 590 E is a pretty standard offering from Proform. Though it's not particularly weak in any one area, it also doesn't particularly exceed in any one area as well. So to sum it up, the Proform 590 E is an average elliptical for an average price. It's worth buying for the right price.

It's a crop we could not live without, anywhere in the world. It's the basis for desserts, soft drinks and all such goodies that satisfy our collective sweet tooth. It's sugar cane.
Brazil is one of the largest producers of sugar cane in the world. It's an interesting harvest. They first burn the fields to rid the plants of their leaves (and to say goodbye to venomous snakes that may be hiding), then using machetes or other sharp knives, they whack the sugar cane off close to the ground.
What Maddie is holding in the picture up top is a length of raw sugar cane. Daniel holds the opened stalk. The pulp inside is moisture rich and sweet, but it doesn't have the taste of purified sugar. The cane can be cut into strips for use as skewers for shrimp, chicken and pork. Or, buy the cane strips already prepared – and use them as drink swizzle sticks.
For the $3 or so it costs to buy sugar cane strips already packaged, it pays in convenience.

Q&A with Ambassador Noemie Fox : Professional Slalom Athlete
About: She Went Wild Ambassador ; Noemie Fox, is 20 years old and a professional Canoe Slalom athlete.
Noemie, you're a canoe-slalom Athlete. Could you tell us a little more about that? What does it entail? What's a Canoe-Slalom-course like? How do you win?
Canoe Slalom is such a great sport because there is always a new challenge and lesson to be learnt every day. Every slalom course is different. Sometimes we race on beautiful natural rivers but most of the time we compete on artificial canoe slalom courses. I train on the 2000 Sydney Olympic artificial whitewater course out in Penrith.
The aim of the sport is to navigate your kayak or canoe down the rapids, following the set design of hanging upstream or downstream gates without touching them. If you touch a gate a two second penalty is added to your time. If you miss a gate, a 50 second penalty is added!
It's a sport where anything could happen, you don't necessarily have to be current world leader to reach the top of the podium, you just have to be the best on the day!
At what age did you start paddling and how did you become involved in the sport?
My parents were both Olympic canoe slalom athletes and are still involved in the sport. Growing up, I spent most of my time by the river bank following them. It was inevitable that one day I too would get involved! It wasn't until I was 14 that I began competing at my first nationals and started to really enjoy the sport.
Did you feel comfortable the first time you sat in a kayak? Did you have a 'aha!' moment where you just knew this was the sport for you?
I roughly two years old when I sat in a kayak for the first time, so I don't think I was too comfortable! I definitely didn't have an 'aha!' moment! It took me a while to really get into the sport. This photo sums up how I felt about kayaking at the very beginning! Once I became more confident, and got over my fear of the whitewater rapids I completely fell in love with the sport and the lifestyle.
Should one of our readers be interested in starting canoe slaloming or want to enroll their child. Where should they start?
Check out the Paddle Australia website to find your nearest kayak club. Kayaking is a great activity for kids, especially in the summer (the minimum age for most courses is 12 years old). I'm a kayak instructor at Penrith Whitewater Stadium, pay me a visit anytime and I'd be happy to teach you how to kayak!
What has been your biggest accomplishment in the sport to date?
Last year I won my first senior bronze medal at a World Cup in Spain. My sister also won a medal that week-end so it was so nice to share that special moment with her. This year I collected a silver medal in the teams event at my first World Championships!
How often do you train a week? What do you do? Do you do any other training other than canoeing to get better at canoeing?
When preparing for a competition, the majority of my training is on the whitewater, especially if it's a course I'm not familiar with! Now that it's the end of the competition season, it's important for me to train on the flat water to build my endurance and strengthen my technique. Aside from kayaking, I'm really into boxing and running.
I also try to do Yoga a few times a week. It's great way to wind down, stretch the muscles and focus on my breathing.
Do you ever have those 'do not disturb' moments in those chilly winter-morning before training? What gets you out of bed? Tell us your secrets….!
I think it's natural to sometimes wake up lacking motivation! There are days when it's miserable outside and I'm too cosy in my bed but I know that I always feel better after a training session. I also think of the people that train outside in the negative degrees and it makes me toughen up and get on with it! I'm lucky enough to escape the Aussie winter in order to train in the European summer. That's where the major competitions are during the season.
Tell us why you are a She Went Wild Ambassador? What draws you to the brand?
Empowering, educating and inspiring women to get outdoors and be adventurous is something that I am EXTREMELY passionate about and strive to achieve. I love the opportunities that are offered by She Went Wild and the overall community of strong women that has been built. It's so nice to be able to follow the adventures of other girls and be inspired by one another.
In a parallel universe… if you had 4 years, access to the best coaches and facilities in the world and you had you had to back yourself to win 1st place in a totally different sport… what sport would it be?
Although I've never even had a winter before, in a parallel universe I would be a half-pipe athlete. I'm fascinated by winter sports!
Do you have a favorite course?
There are so many whitewater courses around the word that I love. One of my favourite courses is a beautiful natural river located in Bourg St Maurice, a small town in the French Alpes.
Another Canoe Slalom course that I love is in Italy. The river runs through the heart of a small picturesque town named Ivrea. I'm looking forward to going back there next year to compete in the U23 World Championships!
Best travel adventure ever?
Last year was a big year full of adventures! I went to Rio for the Olympic Games with a few friends. Taking part in the olympic celebration was incredible. I also went to New Zealand and tried creeking for the first time ( extreme kayaking). I paddled down some beautiful rivers and also a small waterfall. My kayaks have taken me on some incredible adventures around the world!
When's your next big race?
I just finished up my competition season with the World Championships in South West of France. I won a silver medal in the teams event and came 14th in the individual race. I'm currently enjoying a bit of time off before preparing for the next big race which is Senior Team Selection for next year's world championships in Rio, Brazil!

I'm recently 9 weeks pregnant I and I'm 18 I've been living with my boyfriend and his family roughly over 3 months..... And now we're being evicted with no where to go. I can't go back to my moms because she's already told me if I come back pregnant she'll be done with me and I need the little bit of assistance while I can get it. My moms problem with me being pregnant is she wanted me to live the life I always talked about growing up but I found someone who makes me feel like I'm living my dream in the most worst moment and the fact my older sister has 2 kids and one on the way that fully depend on her and since my babies father was recently arrested i just need and want my mom around but I feel she will turn me down due to "my stupid decision" but I have no one his family is helping out with what they can but they all have to think about their selves to I can't help but think my pregnancy isn't a good idea I cry everyday I don't eat I'm just a mess
Hey im 18 moved out when i was 17 because im in love with a guy who i decided to make a future with he supports me through everything, that lil baby inside of you is a blessing , your mom would be mad and upset but at the end she well get over it !!! Trust me my mom was upset and now shes happy i think shes more excited then me lol talk to your mom she well help you through everything .
Yah I'm hoping so
I'm feeling your pain. I'm 4 weeks & 7 days pregnant. I want this baby more than anything but my Boyfriend doesn't want baby. My parents are strict and are going to kick me out if I decide to keep it.
I was on birth control but became pregnant while on it. Worst situation all together because he lives with his parents and is 25. I'm 21 and live with mine. We are financially unstable. He is a shoes sales men at carsons and never finished college. Doesn't have a car even. I still have yet to get my highschool diploma and am unemployed. I'm in so much credit card debt I'm talking over 100,000. I told my parents I was expecting and am forced to get an abortion. Abortion is against my beliefs but I have no other choice. Im an only child who's father is a Chicago police homicide detective and mother is unemployed. They are actually divorced but she lives in the house with us still. I thought me talking to her would be a safe haven but she lost it. I am now forced to go through with this procedure. I have no other choice in the matter at this point. My father pays for all my expenses as it is as well as my debt and car etc. My appointment is July 21st, 2016. I will be 6 weeks. I am absolutely torn. I want this baby more than anything but don't know what to do. It's so upsetting that the day I go in to hear peanut's heart beat I will be having a DNC.
Honestly i don't think your mom would not take you in, she's your mom and yeah she'll be upset at you being pregnant but she will accept it after, she probably just said that so you wouldn't end up pregnant, but she's your mom she's meant to be supportive of you, I know she will be there and take you in and try to help you as much as she can, just tell her and don't worry if she's mad at first she will get over it.
Girls, I had a baby at 18.... and the government helped me with all bills, housing and everything! It took me a while to get on my feet but now I own my own business and don't need any government help. The government will help you, and I got wic for Milk, eggs, cheese, and healthy food while pregnant- and formula for the baby!
I feel your pain I'm 4 to 5 weeks pregnant with a man my family doesn't like because of his age I'm 19 years old and he's 25! He already has a kid and I think that's why they don't like him
But the hardest part I have to wait to tell them after I was in with him in two more weeks so I'm at a stuck place
I can't tell anybody but my closest friends who I know won't tell
But the worst part is I can't do anything for the baby yet until I move in with the baby's daddy:(
But I've also been effected of my home and the man I thought I loved I moved in with my ex-boyfriend when I was 16 and I thought my family would not except me back into their lives after me and him broke up and I moved out but really in all honesty they did your family will always have a bond with you no matter what and your mom will always gripe and say things she does it mean every parent does but when she finds out that you're caring her grandchild she will give you a place to stay I promise you just have to talk to her
If you don't take a stand against your parents for something that is very important to you. You will regret it and hate them for the rest of your lives. If they want to be a part of your future and your life, then they need to calm the ?$(! Down, and accept that you are an adult and can make mistakes but more importantly you can COPE and deal with them. That's all part of being an responsible adult, honestly though I think it's your past behavior that has them skeptical about what kind of parent you can be. Prove them wrong, get some work and start paying down your own debts.
I'm so sorry you have to make a choice like this. I was 14 when I got pregnant and I stood my ground and said I'm not killing this baby I'm raising him it was the most hard thing I've ever done in my life but it was so worth it I understand that your dad pays everything but there's help out there through the government and there are places that will help would they kick you out if you gave the baby up for adoption?? There are other options out there other then abortion I know it's hard I had 1 kids by the time I was 16 so hard I know and you just have to stay strong and so what you feel is right in your heart if you feel abortion is wrong then don't do it if you do it will bother you for the rest of your life I'm so sorry and if you need someone to talk to I'm here
You're not forced to do anything in life, everything is a choice. Adoption agencies are all over! Abortion is not your only option and most hospitals and police departments have a no questions asked policy if you just leave the baby there. Don't ever think you don't have a choice in life.
Omg I wish I could help somehow :(
Honestly this is making me cry. I can't imagine what you are going through. If I had my own place I would try to make room for you and your baby. But I live with my boyfriend and his family. If you live in Denver co. I could help with the cloths if the baby is a girl. I'm going to donate my babies things ones she grows out of it so moms won't have to spend their money on clothes since it cost a lot. I'll pray for you and your baby. I hope your mom ain't to upset to leave you with no home. Being a mom is a blessing. I'm really sorry this is happening to you :(
h by haileyk400
Since I've been pregnant I've been struggling with so much and I feel like my world is coming to an end. First of all I've been through a lot with my child's father with lying and cheating which has made me feel horrible about myself and I cry...
