In the blink of an eye, the holidays will be upon us. It happens every year – you think you have lots of time, and then suddenly you're scrambling to get everything ticked off your holiday shopping list. Why not make this year different? If you're planning to send gifts or cards abroad, or want to be able to give out gifts to friends, co-workers and teachers before the holidays begin, then there's even more reason to be proactive and start ticking off your holiday shopping list early.
Our London Drugs Photolab has all kinds of gift ideas, from greeting cards to tree ornaments that you can personalize with your own photos for some truly unique and thoughtful gifts. The best part? You can order them all without ever having to step foot in a mall. By ordering early, you can get your gifts delivered to your home well before the holidays – either by ordering online, or using our London Drugs Photolab App for iOS and Android.
Keep reading below for 6 creative gift ideas that will help you beat the holiday rush!
Personalized Greeting Cards
If there's one thing that belongs at the very top of your to-do list, it's your holiday greeting cards. Depending on how far around the world you're planning to send your cards, you'll want to give ample time for them to arrive (preferably at the start of the holidays). Before the holiday rush hits, take some time to design your cards, create your list of recipients, and get them ready to toss in the mail.
Holiday greeting cards are a tradition for many families, as they're a chance to get your family and friends caught up on your year (and show off your beautiful family with a few photos too). To help you make your cards extra special, we offer personalization options that allow you to add photos and text directly to the cards – no more hand cramps writing them by hand! (Pro tip: order a stack of 25 cards to save!). Our Photolab also has a variety of themed card templates for Christmas, Hanukkah and general Winter themes, so no matter what your traditions, you can find a beautiful card to customize.
Not sure what photo to use on your card? Check out our blog here on tips for taking the perfect holiday card family portrait.
Christmas Tree Ornaments
Gifts like personalized Christmas tree ornaments are an excellent choice for co-workers, teachers, or anyone else you want to share a little something with to wish them a happy holiday season. If you're looking to give out gifts to these people though, it's best to order them before the holidays begin. That way, you can have them ready to go before the last day of school or work. You'll also want to give out your ornament gifts a bit earlier than Christmas so they have time to hang them on the tree and fully appreciate them during the holiday season!
New this year, we have beautiful wood ornaments, in addition to ceramic, crystal, pewter, metal, and ball ornaments. Each one can be customized with a photo, as well as a personal message or a date if you like.
Heart Puzzles and Storage Tins
Holiday parties can often take place weeks before Christmas is here. If you know you'll be heading to some parties this holiday season, it's a good idea to have a few small gifts in your arsenal that you can give to the party hosts, or bring as part of a gift exchange. Our photo puzzles are a fun and unique gift if you're doing a Secret Santa gift exchange, for example. Just pick an image of your choosing, and we'll personalize the puzzle with that image! You can even order a puzzle that comes with a matching storage tin.
The Gift of Fine Art
Consider yourself an amateur or pro photographer? Why not turn your best photos of the year into prints to give to your friends and family! Or simply take your favourite shot from a photo session you've had, and order some prints to share. This is a great way to gift someone a special memory to treasure. Our If your not sure why print surface is best for your image, you can always visit our LDExperts in the Photolab. Our Photolab also has two brand new fine art papers that can elevate your images from 'photos' to 'fine art' in time for the holidays.
Baryta Fine Art Paper
Baryta is a bright white cotton paper ideally suited for photographic images. This smooth cotton paper was designed for long life – perfect for those memories you want to stand the test of time. Fine art photography, portrait photography, wedding photography are all ideal for this print surface. It's also great for scrapbooking, if you're planning to get very creative with your gift-giving.
Kauai Fine Art Paper
If you really want to step up your gifting game, you can go with some museum-quality prints. Kauai is a smooth hot press fine art paper that is best for print that require Museum Grade quality, especially when Image Permanence is a critical factor. This smooth cotton paper was designed for long life, and similar to our Baryta fine art paper, it's ideal for fine art photography, portrait photography, wedding photography and scrapbooking.
Cozy Photo Blankets
What do you buy for the person who has everything? Rather than scrambling at the last minute for gifts for those tough-to-buy-for people on your holiday shopping list, here's a gift idea you can order right now: a personalized fleece blanket. These cozy blankets can be customized with either one image, or a collage of images. They're a great way to give the gift of coziness, plus the photo personalization adds some real uniqueness and thoughtfulness that they'll appreciate.
Personalized Pet Tags
Know of someone whose pet is their best friend? Here's a creative gift idea they're sure to love: a personalized pet tag! You can order a pet tag with a snapshot of them with their beloved pet, and even add their pet's name to it. We also have customizable pet bowls that you can add an adorable photo of their furry friend to. A perfect gift set for all the pet lovers on your holiday shopping list!
Morale Mail: Send a Care Package to Members Serving Oversees
Once again this holiday season, Canada Post is offering free shipping for family and friends of deployed men and women who wish to send their loved ones a special care package. This comes at a time of year when it can be difficult for those posted overseas who can't return home for the holidays, and a gift from home can go a long way to making them feel cared for.
You can create your own Morale Mail care package, complete with everything from chocolates and personal notes, to personalized gifts. A photo book of them with their family and friends would be a thoughtful way to show them you care. Or a cozy blanket customized with a photo of their beloved pet on it, so they can feel a little more at home. Why not also include a personalized greeting card telling them you're thinking of them?
Free shipping on parcels will be available from October 16, 2019 until January 10, 2020, and regular letter mail (up to 500 grams) will be free of charge until Deccember 31st 2019. You can find more information on Morale Mail here.
It can take up to 28 days for parcels to arrive, so the sooner you plan out your care package the better, to ensure it arrives in time for the holidays!

Hi CannaFuchs,
From what I can gather in reading your brief post, the answer is, yes. There is an easy solution that can work for you. You need 'Google Pay'. It can be activated instantly. You'll be able to accept all of the major credit cards immediately. Even if you're selling CBD related process. Understand that to avoid violating Shopify Payments Policy (which at this time prohibits the sale of CBD because their payment processing partners don't support it), I'm giving you a work around that does NOT violate that policy.
Hopefully, Shopify moderators won't have a problem with me sharing this link to Google.
Finally, inside of your Shopify admin panel settings you will need to choose 'Manual Payments' and then an 'Alternative Payment Method' to enable Google Pay for credit card acceptable.

New Bok wing Jesse Kriel: Rieko Ioane is dangerous with ball-in-hand
CAPE TOWN – He's played 33 Test matches already, but Jesse Kriel may be facing the biggest challenge of his Springbok career on Saturday.
Not only are the Boks under tremendous pressure to save face after two consecutive Rugby Championship defeats, they also have to do it against the mighty All Blacks at the Westpac Stadium in Wellington (9.35am kickoff).
Against that backdrop, Kriel battled to get going against the Wallabies last week, with his failed kick-pass to Aphiwe Dyantyi going into touch.
Kriel would've been better off just passing the ball through the hands, but the incident encapsulated the Bok effort on attack in Brisbane.
And on Saturday, the 24-year-old Bulls back has been shifted to No 14 from centre by coach Rassie Erasmus due to Makazole Mapimpi's injury – and he has to face the hottest wing in world rugby, Rieko Ioane…
The Blues superstar has already notched up 16 tries in just 17 Tests, and dotted down in both games against the Boks last year.
"He is obviously a great player, a world-class player, so I think all of us want to be up against the best every weekend. And I think that's what's Test rugby is all about, so really excited," Kriel said from Wellington on Thursday.
"I think in Super Rugby, he also played a bit of centre as well, so he's got the complete skill-set. He's dangerous with ball-in-hand – strike runner, really good with ball-in-hand, like I said.
"He's a good player, so really excited about the match-up this weekend. But we obviously want to focus on getting things right. We just want to go out there and convert the opportunities that we didn't convert in the last two games.
"If we had taken three chances in each game, I think the results could've looked a lot different."
Kriel has two Bok caps at wing, so he has experience of playing out wide.
Perhaps getting out of the stressful outside centre berth will free him up a bit, as he does possess the pace and size to be a threat with ball-in-hand himself.
"Yeah, I'm really excited actually (about playing at wing). I've played there before – obviously not as much as centre – but I'm really excited about the opportunity. Always special to play for the Springboks. A new challenge here in New Zealand, which you guys are all looking forward to," he said.
The more things change, the more they stay the same 🙌🏼 pic.twitter.com/IvNJ03jt6o— Jesse Kriel (@JesseKriel15) August 9, 2018
While the All Blacks can also unleash Damian McKenzie off the bench, Kriel said Cheslin Kolbe can play a similar role for the Boks.
"(McKenzie) is a really exciting player with ball-in-hand. He brings a lot of tempo to the game, likes to take the ball to the line, and he opens up a lot of space for everyone else," he said.
"For us, it will be just about sticking to our backline defensive systems, and putting pressure on them. But then we've got a guy like Cheslin Kolbe coming off the bench who is just as dangerous as him.
"Both teams have great guys coming off the bench, and it's going to be great to watch."@ashfakmohamed

Residential (Inpatient) Programme
SHARP is unique in that it offers long-term residential treatment. Once you've completed an initial detoxification or primary programme (now also available at SHARP), you take up residence at the centre where you are involved in supportive group discussions, individual therapy sessions, workshops and more. Once you feel able, you can return to work during the day and come back to the SHARP residence at night. This is also the basis of the outpatient programme.
"SHARP is a place for you to gather your strength, to feel supported, and to come back to at the end of each day while you take those first steps on your own."
– Stasi, previous resident at SHARP
Choosing the Correct Rehab Centre
You may need a rehab centre in Johannesburg for yourself or for a loved one, but you wonder which one is the best – with the highest chance of success. Choosing the right rehab centre is a difficult, but very important process. Nobody wants to make the wrong decision – there is far too much is riding on it. All rehab centres are different, so do some serious research before you choose. Addiction recovery is a very difficult process; for some addicts it may take several tries before they are successful. This means the better the rehab you find, the better the chance of success the first time around.
One of the first and most important points when choosing a rehab programme is to make sure that the programme has an excellent follow-up programme, after inpatient residential treatment. Whether it is long-term residential or an extensive outpatient treatment, good follow-up will help to ensure long-term success and recovery.
Finding a programme that offers both group and individualised care is also important, as a combination of both approaches provides the most effective treatment for drug or alcohol rehab. Group care provides a reality check; it allows addicts to realise that what they are struggling with is not unique to them and provides support in the form of relationships with those that are walking the same path. Individual care is more focused on the individual and what they specifically need for their personal recovery. This covers the reasons for their addiction as well as the tools they need to stay clean.
Look for a rehab centre that makes the extra effort to provide a warm and caring environment; this type of environment is essential to the success of their patients. Recovering from addiction can bring so many problems of its own the patient needs a non-judgmental, supportive environment to be able to examine what they are going through.
A rehab centre should also provide ample family follow-up care, not only for the sake of the family members, but for the addict too. Studies have shown that when the family is treated along with the addict, their chances of success increase. This is not a solitary disease but can, and does, affect the entire family unit.
Do not judge the rehab centre by cost alone. While cost will of course affect the choice you make, don't make the mistake of thinking that cost is a determining factor of the success or quality of the centre. There are many overpriced clinics out there, and their only claim to fame is the people who have walked through their doors. Take time to look over their programme and look at their success rate, as well as how good of a fit they are for each individual.
If you are looking for a good rehab centre then have a look at SHARP Treatment, they provide a supportive and relaxing family atmosphere alongside proven methods of treatment, to give you or your loved one the tools they need for success.

Sometimes when an individual has a lot on their shoulders, the smaller details might be overlooked. One such detail is the quality of business cards that your company uses. Using premium business cards for yourself and your employees is a simple way to make your business stand out among competitors. Some business owners seem to understand this concept while others underestimate its value.
Imagine you've been speaking with a salesman and getting an over-all good impression, but then you're handed a flimsy business card that was cheaply made. It takes some of the edge off of that initial impression, doesn't it? Now imagine the same sales pitch, but accompanied with a crisp, Premium Business Cards Online which clearly had some thought put into it. Which presentation will you be more impressed with?
A poorly constructed or designed business card is not necessarily a deal breaker in most scenarios, but it can cause doubt in the customer's mind. Subconsciously, a client may wonder if the quality of the business card reflects on the quality of the company, and this creates more work on the part of the salesman to show their company's worth. But in many cases, it's not the salesman who chose the quality of the card; it's not their fault.
Since you're here, reading this article, I take it you're interested in learning more about premium, custom business cards, and looking to improve the quality of business cards your company uses. Here are three keys to get you started:
The first step is knowing what Premium Business Cards Online look and feel like. This will help you come up with an idea for how you want yours made. Collect business cards from at least five other businesses and compare their designs and quality; consider what you would like to be the same or different for your business cards. Then, don't be afraid to ask for the opinions of others; it's a good idea to get outside opinions from those you trust, as often other people can add a perspective you might not think of yourself. Find an online company to work with that can meet your needs. There are many such companies out there, and most of them will send you free samples of their card quality before you make their decision. Finding a first class printing company for your premium business cards and other printing needs is a great asset. The right company should have business card options that are considered premium for your industry, a good selection of other products and services that may interest you now or in the future, comprehensive guarantees on their products, free sample offerings and quality customer support.

Perkins, who stole $3.6 million from at least seven victims, was sentenced to 57 months in federal prison by U.S. District Judge David Ezra.
Ezra said he could find no explanation for Perkins' crimes, other than "avarice and greed."
Perkins caused "immeasurable breach of trust and economic loss to absolutely innocent people who did nothing more than believe in him," Ezra said.

Mentors, Friends and Sometime Adversaries
Mentorships between Harvard Law School professors and the students who followed them into academia have taken many forms over the course of two centuries.
Mentorships between Harvard Law School professors and the students who followed them into academia have taken many forms over the course of two centuries.
Daniel J. Meltzer '75, a renowned legal scholar and expert on federal courts and criminal procedure, and a valued legal advisor to President Barack Obama '91, died on May 24, after a courageous battle with cancer. Meltzer was the Story Professor of Law at Harvard Law School, where he served on the faculty since 1982.
When Harvard Law Professor Daniel Meltzer '75 was named director of the American Law Institute in January, he joined a long line of members of the HLS community who have helped shape the direction of the law from inside the ALI.
Daniel J. Meltzer '75, the Story professor of law at Harvard Law School, has been appointed as the next Director of the American Law Institute (ALI). The ALI announced the appointment on January 18, 2013.
Three faculty who served in the Obama administration, and recently returned to HLS, talk to writer Elaine McArdle about gridlock, being part of history, living life at warp speed and the day the Easter Bunny blacked out the White House.
This year, Harvard Law School alumni continued to make an impact in a variety of ways. Most notably, HLS alumni have filled the halls of the U.S. government since Barack Obama's '91 election as the 44th President of the United States in November 2008. In putting together his administration, Obama selected more than 70 HLS […]

On executive power, war and anti-terrorism, scholars have a lot to say–and lawmakers are listening.
Three days after the U.S. Supreme Court kicked off its 2003-2004 term, HLS faculty members evaluated the Court's recent decisions and forecast its upcoming cases.
For the first time in decades, HLS has changed the basic structure of its first-year experience, and students and faculty are singing the praises of The New 1L.

My Medical Device Sales Career
Fearing an upcoming job loss for whatever reason or worse, you are unemployed now, requires a quick and efficient plan of attack to getting another job QUICKLY! This is not the time to sit back and decide to take time off between jobs, that one month off can quickly erode to 6 months or longer of unemployment. Sales managers want to hire smart, aggressive medical sales people who would not be content taking a month off between jobs.
I am often asked, "What would I do if I only had two weeks of employment left at my current medical sales job due to a layoff or firing?". In this terrible marketplace I know exactly what strategy I would use, what job boards and networking techniques I would put in place RIGHT AWAY. Yes, I mean right away! Working a full 9 hour sales day (or managing Sales People when you are a Sales Manager) every day of your last 2 weeks for the company that is letting you go may seem admirable, but in today's world it is plain silly.
I advise putting in the minimal time necessary to wrap up THEIR business and get to YOUR business immediately of finding a job. There are many personal things you need to do that I will write about in a future blog and provide a link HERE when completed.
Aggressive 10 Step Plan to Finding a Job:
I am NOT a believer of those articles that say you should make looking for a job a full time job. If you are unemployed and taking all day every day to look and interview for jobs, then you are not working efficiently at finding a job! Once you have the above system in place, you are maybe looking at a routine of not more than 1 to 2 hours per day of the hunt phase of your job search. Applying to countless jobs you are not qualified for is a waste of time and I get plenty of those resumes where I know someone told them they need to make looking for a job a full time job! They are working full time spinning their wheels!
If you implement a well targeted job search and apply only to the jobs you qualify for and a few of those dream transition jobs you wish you could land, you will begin to add in phone interview and face to face interview time for select positions. What to do with the extra time?
There are things you can do for expanding your career options that I will address in a future article HERE, but part of that extra time should be used to do the things you could not do when you were working full time in a stressful job. Yes, being unemployed is more stressful in many ways, but make sure to feed the soul, body and mind with some simple pleasures daily, pleasures that maybe you put away many years ago when your job took over your life! Now is the time to maybe pick up that tennis game, practice that golf swing, ride that bike, take the kids to the park, read some NON-business and management books for once (love novel anyone?) and maybe surprise your significant other with a homemade romantic meal. You have the time now, maybe not the money, but you will be amazed at how losing your job CAN change your life for the better.
Unemployment is usually just a temporary thing, and can be reduced to a shorter period of time by implementing the aggressive 10 step plan. Just remember when you land that new job, that you also keep some of the simple pleasures in your life that you cultivated and enjoyed during your time of unemployment.

The last time that we faced The Valiants was back in December, as The Silkmen extended their unbeaten run to three matches in a festive Moss Rose encounter.
Despite the match ending as a goalless draw, it still embodied all the passion and drama that a local derby conjures up.

Denver Broncos fans are still fuming about a penalty call late in Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills.
In the fourth quarter on third-and-six, Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor was hit by Broncos linebacker Von Miller as he threw an incomplete pass.
As the Broncos defense jogged off the field, Miller offered Taylor a hand to help him to his feet. Then Miller jokingly pulled his hand away in a "too slow" gesture.
On 4th & 6...— LeadingNFL ™ (@LeadingNFL) September 24, 2017
Von Miller fakes out Tyrod Taylor, and gets flagged for Unsportsmanlike Conduct. 😅 pic.twitter.com/uUhZgzZopy
Both Miller and Taylor were laughing about the gesture when the referee threw a penalty flag for unsportsmanlike conduct, costing the Broncos 15 yards and giving the Bills a first down.
The Broncos went on to lose to the Bills.
Von Miller said after the game he takes blame for the penalty.
"I can't put my team in a situation like that," Miller said. "I've brought us home 50 million times. I've closed games 50 million times. I've got to be smarter than that. I'm always on the rookies and all the young guys on being smart and doing this and doing that, and I go out there and do something like that in a crucial situation in the game. I've just got to be better than that.
"I just can't kill us. I killed the game today with that penalty. I just have to be better than that, and I will be better than that."
Taylor says he knew Miller was joking and was surprised a penalty was called.
"We are good friends and we were actually laughing on the field," Taylor said after the game. "I don't think he knew… I honestly did not know at the time it was going to be a flag."

What Are The Benefits Of Performance Bonds?
The worst thing for a project owner is to have his construction project delayed or unable to continue due to issues with the contractor. Each day the project is over the target date of completion costs money, in terms of paying for labor and of course, the lost income or profit especially if the project is commercial in nature. However, because of performance bonds, the likelihood of the project being delayed or postponed is reduced significantly.
The performance bond will guarantee that the contractor will hold up their side of the contract and follow the terms and conditions specified there. Typically, these bonds amount to 50% of the contract price, but may also be equal to 100% of the contract amount. To get more understanding about them, see more about bonds here.
Benefits Of A Performance Bond
Protection Against A Default
The contractor might not be able to fulfill their end of the contract due to uncontrollable circumstances like a default. While surety companies issuing these bonds check the financial capacity of contractors carefully to avoid this situation completely, it is never preventable. When this happens, the project owner is fully compensated, allowing them to finish the project and fix any issues caused by the default. They also get peace of mind that they will never be left with an unfinished project and a higher project cost due to contractor problems.
Full Protection
Owners are protected fully, up to the last dollar. They will not have to deal with any deductibles or even co-payments. Because some performance bonds also cover 100% of the project cost, they will not end up with insufficient funds to finish.
Strict Pre-Qualification Process
Because surety companies might end up having to pay project owners money to finish construction, they are very strict about the process of issuing performance bonds. They analyze the financial strength of the contractor and also make sure they have enough experience and expertise to finish the project. This is the only way they are sure that they provide bonds only to contractors who are least likely to default. The performance bond itself is an assurance to the project owner that the contractor is financially sound and capable to do the job.
The Consequences Of Non-Performance
While contractors have to shell out money in order to acquire a performance bond, the stronger motivation to complete the project is the indemnity they face otherwise. This can end up being both personally and professionally devastating for them, so they would try to avoid jumping ship on the project.
Surety's Performance
In case of default or non-performance of the contractor, the surety company might also choose to fulfill the contract themselves, either by finishing the work in-house or hiring someone else to do the job.
Misconceptions Over Performance Bonds
First and foremost, a performance bond is not a source of quick and easy cash. Owners will also have to file a claim in order to get compensation and instead, the purpose of the performance bond is to ensure that they end up with a completed project within the agreed price and period of time.
Second, a performance bond is not a tool for dispute resolution. Should there be any disagreements during construction, owners should refer to the agreements and solutions agreed upon in the contract.
Lastly, a performance bond will not magically produce a finished project especially in cases like default or breach of contract. Unfortunately, delays and other consequences cannot be prevented, but with the help of the surety company, it is still entirely possible to finish the project successfully and in the shortest amount of time possible. This also ensures that the losses incurred by the project owner due to the delays and issues are minimized as much as possible.
Performance bonds are meant to provide assurance and security to project and building owners, but even just the process of acquiring one is already enough to ensure that only the most capable contractors win the job. Still, in the case of the unlikely actually happening, there is nothing better than having the financial security to know that they are covered if the contractor defaults or walks out of the job.

This recipe for French Onion Soup in the Instant Pot is so easy!
Do I really need an Instant Pot?
For the longest time I resisted getting an Instant Pot. I truly thought it was overrated and yet another kitchen gadget I wouldn't end up using after the first or second time.
Since getting our Instant Pot last November, everything has changed. I am able to cook healthy meals for our family in a fraction of the time that it takes me stovetop or in the oven.
Part of the struggle with cooking is I dislike the mess it creates after. Dishes are not my strong point and Having everything cook in one pan means less cleanup for me in the long run.
The perfect, simple French Onion Soup recipe!
Today I am sharing with you a simple recipe I made one rainy morning last week. I was craving french onion soup and I knew there had to be a quick way to make a big batch.
Sure enough. A few ingredients and the Instant Pot to the rescue, I had fresh French Onion soup in under 35 minutes. I chose not to add cheese to the soup, but that is only for personal preference.
If you would like, you can toast a couple slices of bread and add some cheese to your French Onion Soup!
I hope you enjoy this recipe and make it for your family! If you are looking for other Instant Pot recipes for your family, try this easy Elderberry Syrup in the Instant Pot!
Instant Pot French Onion Soup
This simple soup is easy to make and is complete in under 40 minutes, start to finish!
- 6 yellow or sweet onions thinly sliced
- 4tbsp ghee or plant based spread
- 1/4tsp pink Himalayan salt
- 3tbsp arrowroot powder
- 8cups broth (beef, chicken or veggie)
- 1cup red wine
- 2tbsp coconut aminos
- 1tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- 1tbsp Italian seasoning**You can also use 1/4 - 1/2 cup of fresh herbs**
- using "Saute" function, let the Instant Pot heat up for 2 minutes.
- add the ghee or plant based spread & let melt.
- add the onions and salt. Stir occasionally until onions are brown (15-25 minutes). Scrape the bottom of the pot often to keep it free from any burnt bits.
- Add in the arrowroot and stir.
- Add in stock, wine, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, and Italian seasoning.
- Lock the lid in place and make sure the steam release handle is set to "Sealing".
- cook in Manual mode—-High Pressure—-10 minutes.
- Allow for 5 minutes of a natural release. After 5 minutes flip the valve for a quick release.
- Your soup is ready. I make a large batch of this soup, sometimes double, and store it either in the refrigerator or freezer during the winter months.
You can make this recipe on stovetop. Follow the steps in your pot on the stove, but you will want to simmer the soup for 45-60 minutes.

Tia Maria dates back to the mid-17th century, when a beautiful young Spanish aristocrat fled the turmoil colonial war brought to the island of Jamaica. Her maid saved one family treasure, a small jewellery box with black pearl earrings and an ancient manuscript with the recipe for a mysterious liqueur. The recipe was named after the courageous woman. Tia Maria was born. The recipe lay dormant for many years before being rediscovered in the 1950s by Dr. Kenneth Leigh Evans, who began to produce and market it. From this day forward Tia Maria has been a favourite for coffee cocktail lovers the world over and it was even used in the very first Espresso Martini recipe over forty years ago.
Tia Maria is an exotic infusion of natural vanilla and the finest fresh coffee roasted to perfection, complemented with a touch of Jamaican rum. Rich copper and golden amber tones blend with an enticing caramel nose to make Tia Maria an ideal mixer in many cocktails.

Yo le digo tío-,
I call him uncle
Lo digo pa' joder.
Just to piss him off.
Yo era forastero, solitario,
I was a stranger, alone,
Un poco amargado, resentido-
Quite bitter, resentful.
Pero me trató con sencillez,
But he treated me with openness,
Con cariño como si fuera digno de respeto,
And affection as if I merited respect.
Como si no hubiera cagado mi vida.
As if I hadn't fucked up my life.
Cuando no soñaba, él me alimentó con sueños suyos.
When I couldn't dream he fed me his own
Sueños Gonzalez, raros, bellos,
Gonzalez dreams, strange, and beautiful,
Con vitaminas de locura.
With vitamins of insanity.
Todavía sueño con la vida más que la muerte,
I still dream of life more than death.
Puedo dar y recibir, soy sano, fuerte.
Can give, receive, am whole, strong.
Y todavía le digo tío,
And still I call him Uncle,
Porque no tengo nombre suficientemente grande,
For there's no word great enough,
Ni profundo, ni ancho,
Or deep enough or wide,
Para este hombre que le digo tío,
For this man I call Uncle,
Aunque no es tío mío.
Who is no uncle of mine.
A few years later Tío got prostate cancer and I advised no aggressive treatment. Eight years after a dense stroke, he is alert, diapered, and walks with difficulty, preferring to be wheeled about; he loves his bed. He still radiates good cheer, but sometimes in a moment of weakness confesses an ineffable sadness. After the dreaded cancer diagnosis, I had promised to interfere personally if he ever requested it. He has never asked. Neither have I; and the dreaded cancer has never spoken a word.

DNA taken from the body of Reagan Tokes was consistent with the DNA profile of Brian Golsby, forensic experts testified Monday morning.
The morning's testimony came from four expert witnesses from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation, the state's official crime lab. DNA collected from Tokes' body, as well as from two cigarette butts collected from the crime scene was consistent with a DNA sample from Golsby, two experts who specialize in DNA analysis said.
Hallie Dreyer, who specializes in DNA analysis for BCI, testified that DNA consistent with Golsby's was found on two swabs from the sexual-assault kit used on the body of Tokes.
"The estimated rarity of that profile that is consistent with Brian Golsby, it is rarer than every one in 1 trillion unrelated individuals," Dreyer said on the witness stand in reference to one of the swabs.
During interviews with police following his arrest, Golsby confessed to raping Tokes, as well as to kidnapping and robbing her after she left her job at Bodega in the Short North the night of Feb. 8, 2017. A video of that confession was presented Thursday.
Additionally, the revolver collected from a sewer in the North Linden area, where Golsby admitted to police he had placed it, contained DNA in the barrel consistent with a sample of Tokes' DNA, Katherine Dailey, a forensic scientist for BCI, testified.
Tokes was found dead at Scioto Grove Metro Park with two gunshot wounds to the head last February.
During cross-examination the defense repeatedly mentioned that Golsby's DNA profile was created in November 2010, before either of the DNA specialists worked for BCI.
Much of the morning's testimony centered on handling and processing of the DNA samples. All four witnesses testified that there were no abnormalities in the process.
Dreyer said she tested the Golsby profile against the necessary controls. She said there were "no issues" of contamination, quality or degradation and that DNA does not change over time.
Gun residue on Golsby's clothes from the night of Feb. 8 was presented as well.
Donna Schwesinger, a GSR expert for the Ohio BCI, testified that she found GSR particles on both samples taken from the front of Golsby's sweatshirt.
