Turkeys & Christmas Foods
To order your Christmas meats please call the shop on 01603 434253
Norfolk White Turkey
An excellent quality free range bird with a full breast. Plenty of flavour and tenderness.
Norfolk Bronze Turkey
Similar to the white but have been bred over the years to produce a slightly fuller flavour and an attractive dark bronze feather.
Great Grove Farm specialise in producing quality turkeys and geese just for the Christmas market. The farm is approx 35 acres in size and covered in woodland and grassland which is used to rear the poultry in a stress free environment.
We believe this is the tastiest and most succulent poultry that you can buy. This is achieved through the various traditional methods that they have continued to use over several years of producing quality poultry. Although this is a much more expensive way of rearing and processing compared to today's factory methods, the end result is far superior.
Arriving in May and June direct from the hatchery they are cared for by dedicated stockmen who take pride in their work. Once old enough the birds are left to wander in ancient woodland and, as with the geese, basically do as they please, living naturally. They have access to straw-bedded barns at night, but quite often choose to sleep outside depending on the weather.
Everything is dry plucked and hand finished on the farm, graded and hung in large chillers (minimum 10 days) to add all the natural flavours that this type of production depends on. The premises is regularly inspected by the EHO to comply with all the rigorous standards.
Norfolk Black Turkey
A Rick Stein food hero! Full on flavour, a bit gamey with a smaller breast and finer texture, a real experience.
For four generations the Peele family has been rearing the Norfolk Black turkey, a breed that they saved from extinction. The Norfolk Black originated in South America and was introduced to Europe by the Spanish explorer Pedro Nino around 1500. It has striking jet-black plumage, but the Norfolk Black is most celebrated for its finely-textured meat which has a slightly gamey flavour.
They allow our turkeys to mate naturally and all the poults are reared outside and allowed to mature slowly. The feed is mixed on the farm using their own home-grown wheat, barley, oats and beans and whole corn is fed to add a 'bloom' to the finished birds. All our turkeys are free range, additive and antibiotic free and are reared on organic meadowland. To enhance these traditional rearing methods we hand pluck and hang our birds for at least a week, and every turkey is prepared for your table by hand. An average oven-ready weight of 10-12 lbs (hens) and 18-21 lbs (stags) is normal for the Norfolk Black turkey.
Turkey Storing & Cooking
As soon as possible after collecting your turkey, remove all packaging and store in a cool place, preferably the bottom of your refrigerator. Remove the giblets if they are inside and keep separately in the cool. The bird is best cooked within two to three days of purchase.
• If your turkey is trussed, it is best to remove the string before cooking.
• Do not stuff the cavity, as this will stop the turkey cooking properly. Instead, place a large Bramley apple or peeled onion inside.
• Sprinkle the bird with salt and pepper then place it breast side down (covered with foil if you prefer) in a roasting tin. The oven should be pre-heated to 230°C/450°F/Gas mark 8 and the bird cooked at this temperature for 30 to 60 minutes depending on size, before reducing the heat to 190°C/375°F/Gas mark 5. Aga hot oven.
• Gravy always tastes better if the turkey giblets are used to make it. However it is recommended that the liver is not used as it may give the gravy a slightly bitter flavour. Instead, lightly sauté the liver in butter, chop and add to stuffing.
• About 30 minutes before the end of cooking, open the foil if used and turn the bird carefully on to its back to brown the breast.
• It is very important not to overcook a turkey – many people do and are then disappointed when it is dry. This can be avoided by testing with a fork on the inside of the thigh – when the juices run clear the bird is ready.
• After removing the turkey from the oven and before carving, allow it to rest for 15 to 20 minutes.
Cooking Guide (ovens vary)
|Without foil
|With foil
Size guide, pounds to kilos (approx)
10lb = 4.5k 14lb = 6.5k 18lb = 8.5k
11lb = 5.0k 15lb = 7.0k 19lb = 9.0k
12lb = 5.5k 16lb = 7.5k 20lb = 9.5k
13lb = 6.0k 17lb = 8.0k 21lb = 10.k
The smallest turkey that we take orders for is a 4.5k bird. Remember when ordering, these birds are in high demand and we will endeavour to supply as near to your choice of size. To allow for a good meal with a nice amount of sandwich and buffet meat for boxing day, allow around 750g per person and 1 kilo for carcass and giblet weight (eg. 4.5 kilo bird to feed 4-6 people). This will ensure a satisfying amount of juicy, succulent meat for the main meal with plenty to satisfy at a later time. Remember to refrigerate any leftovers as soon as possible.
We supply only whole turkeys. We buy whole from the farm and think that by only using the breast meat, it goes against the ethos of free range farming. However, if a turkey crown is required, by purchasing the whole bird, we can 'crown' it for you. (Packaging the legs for use in the New Year).
Having a party this Christmas?
Take a look at our top quality buffet food. Make it easy on yourself – let Archer's provide the buffet!
Free Range Geese
Supplied to us from Great Grove Farm using the same high standards as their turkeys to produce an outstanding bird of exceptional flavour and tenderness.
Free Range Chickens
Supplied by Martins Farm, Hindolveston Norfolk, the birds are a slower growing, more traditional breed which are kept in small groups. They are reared in small meadows with ancient hedgerows and mature oaks.
The birds are fed on a low protein crumb for the first four weeks, then on home grown corn-with no added growth promoters or antibiotics, up until they are ready at between 13 and 16 weeks.
(St George's) Barn Reared chickens
The St George birds are reared in smaller flock sizes by individual farmers who are passionate about the welfare of thier animals. The birds not only have far more space around them than other more intensively reared birds, but also enjoy enriched conditions such as perching and being able to rest during natural periods of darkness.
Christmas Puddings
We are proud to sell the award-winning Coles Christmas Puddings. Made to the original secret family recipe. A rich pudding, with a light texture and a distinctive depth of flavour. The memorable taste is created by using Old Growler Suffolk Ale, copious amounts of fruit and a unique blend of spices.
Make your Christmas extra special this year with Archer's quality turkeys and Christmas foods.

Like many of you, I wear lots of hats and the road I ended up on was not at all where I began. After a decade working as an English teacher-turned stay-at-home-mom, I went back to school to somehow turn my passion for interiors and decorating into my profession. Along the way, I learned to let the challenges I found in everyday living inspire me instead of frustrate me. Real every day life is often messy, too small and poorly laid out, but making the pieces of its puzzle fit together beautifully is where I thrive. Indigo House Interiors is the by-product of it all and where I can help you embrace the same challenges.
I earned a BA in English, an MS in Secondary Education and a Diploma in the Practical Aspects of Interior Design. I am a member of both the National and local chapters of the Interior Design Society (IDS). I live with my husband, two children and giant dog on Long Island, NY where you can find me forever tweaking my home.

The fact is that most people who sell fakes Breitling - no matter how shady they may appear - are very open with the fact that their goods are fake. Why? Because they are catering to people looking for Breitling watches are not difficult to find if you are looking for them. More and more search engines are being pressured to remove or reduce the relevancy of websites that offer Valentino handbags in favor of legitimate retailers. I've also personally seen a welcome reduction in the amount of spam e-mail I've received trying sell me Replica Valentino Handbags (which again were clearly labeled as such).

text: The Dutch population is losing confidence in the success of their military mission to Afghanistan. An opinion poll carried out by the Ministry of Defense found that only 35% think that Dutch soldiers are able to fight the Taliban. In January the figure was 53%. In addition, only 32% think that the Dutch military mission is contributing to the rebuilding of Afghanistan, down from 47% in January. This decline in confidence is due to the killing of two Dutch soldiers by friendly fire.

Shirley Sherrod Makes Amends with NAACP
Sherrod and NAACP President Ben Jealous will appear together at a rural development conference in Alabama on Saturday, and Sherrod has written a letter to the group's members encouraging them to fight racism like she has.
Obama: Shirley Sherrod Deserved Better
Obama on The View: Racial Labels Don't Matter
Does Shirley Sherrod Have a Solid Legal Case?
Jealous traveled to Sherrod's house in Albany, Ga. two weeks ago to apologize once more for being "hoodwinked" as he called it by conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart who in July posted an edited clip of a March speech she made to a local NAACP group. The edited clip featured Sherrod saying she was initially reluctant to help a struggling white farmer save his farm in the early 1980s, but cut off before the part of the speech where Sherrod said she quickly learned from that mistake.
Sherrod was asked by the USDA to resign from her post as Georgia's director of rural development when the blog post began to make news. Jealous sent out a statement the same day saying the group was "appalled" by her actions, which he called "shameful" and "intolerable." He apologized after hearing her full remarks the next day.
"That's behind us, and the last thing I want to see happen is my situation weaken support for the NAACP," Sherrod said in the letter. "Too many people confronted by racism and poverty count on the NAACP to be there for them, especially those in rural areas who often have nowhere else to turn."
Sherrod did not mention whether she would take the new job she was offered by Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack after USDA officials saw the full video and reconsidered their hasty decision to ask her to leave. She did not return calls Tuesday.
In the letter, Sherrod equates the messy aftermath of Breitbart's blog posting to her struggles after her father was murdered by a white man 45 years ago, stirring up an ongoing blame-game between the NAACP and the tea party movement that set the stage for the controversy over her ouster. Both groups have accused the other of having racist elements among their ranks.
"I didn't yield when, just months after my father was killed, they came in the middle of the night to burn a cross in front of our house with my mother, four sisters, and the baby brother my father never got to see inside," she writes. "And I'm surely not going to yield because some tea party agitator sat at his computer and turned everything I said upside down and inside out."
Sherrod said last month that she would sue Breitbart.
"He had to know that he was targeting me," she said then.

Not sure why SEOs and other tech bloggers lately "freak out" about the "Wiki jacking". It's a common and definitely old trick to use trusted domains in order to mess up the Google SERPs. Besides Wiki there is: - Youtube or any other of Google's vertical Portals
- Linkedin / Xing
- Zoominfo
- Wordpress / Blogspot / Blogger or any other trusted blog software
- A million other sites, that allow you to create a personal page (universities, myspace, high5....)
I don't want to call SEO dead, but I kind of agree with Marshall over at Webmetricsguru. It's time to get new faces on the podium.

Curry, Crawford lead Knicks past CavaliersNov 30, 2006 - 3:07 AM CLEVELAND (Ticker) -- Eddy Curry and Jamal Crawford showed that basketball can be a two-man game.
Curry scored 12 of his season-high 24 points in the fourth quarter and Crawford had all 11 of his in the final period as the New York Knicks showed poise down the stretch in a 101-98 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Quentin Richardson had 27 points and nine rebounds for the Knicks, who shot 53 percent (37-of-70) from the field and improved to a surprising 5-5 on the road. Last season, New York did not win its fifth road game until March 4.
"This was a tough one for us but it was a good one for us because we've been challenged every way possible I think you can get challenged and we're still together," Knicks coach Isiah Thomas said.
There were three lead changes and three ties in the fourth quarter, the last at 98-98 with 1:05 remaining on a driving layup by LeBron James, who scored 27 points but was tentative at times.
On the next possession, Crawford beat his man off the dribble and flipped a pass to Curry, who dunked as he was fouled. His free throw made it 101-98 with 46 seconds to go.
"You have to pick your poison," Curry said. "You have me rolling to the basket, and if they try to pick me up, then Jamal is going to take the jump shot. He's tall enough to look over the top and make a great play.
"We knew we wanted to exploit the high pick-and-roll, myself and Eddy, and just keep attacking until they stopped it, and they really never figured it out," Crawford said. After James missed, New York's Steve Francis - who was second in the NBA in free-throw percentage - missed a pair from the line. Cleveland committed a turnover but Francis fired an airball, giving the Cavaliers one more chance.
However, Donyell Marshall's 3-pointer was an airball, ending Cleveland's six-game home winning streak.
Curry, Crawford and Richardson accounted for all 28 of New York's points in the final period.
"We're going to (Curry) and he's coming through," Crawford said. "He's led the league in field-goal percentage before and he's going to make a high percentage of shots. Guys have a lot of trust in him down the stretch."
"The bottom line is we did a poor job defensively," Cleveland coach Mike Brown said. "We did a poor job of keeping our man in front of us. We did a poor job defending the pick-and-roll, especially late in the ballgame in the fourth quarter when that's all they did."
Stephon Marbury scored 13 points for the Knicks, who avenged a 102-96 home loss to Cleveland on November 13.
Drew Gooden scored 16 points and Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 12 and 12 rebounds for the Cavaliers, who have six losses - five to teams below .500.
Richardson missed Tuesday's loss at Chicago with a strained hamstring but held his own against James, controlling his explosiveness and forcing him to take some tough shots while providing plenty of offense.
"He's a great player. LeBron's tough to guard," Richardson said. "I just tried to make it tough for him so he wouldn't go crazy and get 30 or 40 points."
"(Richardson) gives you another weapon on floor," Thomas said. "When are sagging in on Eddy, now you can kick it out and he can knock down the three-ball. He was great tonight, with the hamstring and everything."
Richardson actually outscored James, 17-14, in the first half, when the Knicks shot 59 percent (23-of-39) and opened a 56-51 lead. But they stopped moving the ball in the third quarter, and the Cavaliers got back in the game.
A follow shot by David Lee gave New York its largest lead at 71-60 with 7:13 to go before a three-point play by James triggered a 17-2 run that closed the quarter.
"We lost the game earlier by allowing them to shoot (59) percent in the first half," James said. "We burned a lot of energy coming back in the third."
"We took their punch and we punched back, and we kept fighting and we got the win," Curry said.
No one has shouted yet.
Be the first!

Me and Paige were very lucky to be sent a gorgeous Zippy Suit bib to try out!! We were sent the beautiful starry night/ baby pink design :D
Zippy Suit bibs are a super soft, super absorbent bandana dribble bibs. They are 100% cotton and have two popper fastenings so they easily adjust as your baby grows.
Things I like
First up the beautiful design. It is very cute and girly without been over the top. It is very soft against Paige's skin so is very comfortable. Another great thing is the price... there only £3.75 each! Which I think for the quality of the product they are defiantly worth a lot more.
Things I would change
I honestly wouldn't change a thing. I think they have thought about every detail and the designs are beautiful.
Paige loves her new bib
As you can see from the pictures the bib is a little too big on Paige but that just means she has plenty of room to grow :D She has now started to chew on her hands and dribble a lot! So this bib quickly soaks everything up and saves me and her many clothes changes throughout the day.
Fab product!! 10/10 Check out the Zippy Suit website HERE for more bib designs and of course the fabulous Zippy Suit itself!!
Thank you Zippy Suit for sending us this bib to review and thank you for reading,

Wedding Photographers at Arley Hall and Gardens
As the wedding season calms down a little, a small band of six wedding photographers from across the UK, all members of the Independent Professional Photographers Network, met up recently for a model shooting day at the absolutely stunning Arley Hall & Gardens in Northwich in Cheshire. I don't think they often see quite as many wedding photographers at Arley Hall all at once!
Generally I shoot the majority of a wedding with a more informal manner than you might see in the images here. However it's always extremely valuable experience to spend the occasional day working with professional models, as well as to work alongside other wedding photographers who I know.
It was a particularly beautiful day for photography, especially so for October. The light was exquisite and we were all determined to make the very best of that light, albeit in our own individual ways. It was quite noticeable how we each had our own styles and distinctive ways of working.
The models, James Dorman, Charlotte Rose, Sadie Eleanor and Phil Bruce were superb. I can thoroughly recommend all of them.
We also had extremely generous help with loan of dresses, suits and accessories from Aisle B Yours Bridal Boutique and some beautiful flowers from Ann Laing Flowers.
Big thanks to Carol Higgins of Carol Elizabeth Photography. Carol did the majority of the organisation and running around to make the day happen.
Here are a few of my own shots from the day – hope you enjoy them!

Something made me ravenous.

Turns out I over did the time at the zoo earlier in September. No, rephrasing that, I
expended too much energy at the zoo. I didn't rest enough. I walked too
fast. I forgot that I'm a disabled person. I had a LOT of fun though!
But, I triggered a relapse. Thankfully, it was a mild one. I have pins
and needles in my arms and legs that come and go now. My Neuro wasn't
happy with how much MS activity I've had this year, so I'm waiting to
hear back when they can fit me in for a full spinal MRI as well as my
annual brain one. SO not looking forward to THAT!
On the positive side, I learned a lot from that trip to the zoo. So much that when I went to the Aquarium a couple of weeks ago, and the Werribee Open Range Zoo this week, I took a walker with me. It used to be my nanna's, before she transitioned to a wheelchair, but it's now mine. I can lean on it when I need to, so I'm not fighting to hold my upper body upright while walking on uneven ground. I can sit on it whenever I feel the need. I even use it to carry my handbag/backpack and drink bottle. Alaskaboy even pushed me up the steep ramps on it, rather than head a long way back around to certain elevators.
It's a little depressing to think of how I walked 10km the other year, but a least I'm living in the now. Working with what my body will let me do and learning to respect it and embrace what I still CAN do. SO, I'm thinking thre'll be more walks in my future. I'd been dreading the increase in the heat, but I reckon, as long as I don't overdo it, the walker will help me increase my activity level, and allow me to sit on something in the shade along the way.
Kiddlywink also loves going along for a ride on it too. She'd missed going out with my nanna on it, now we can all go. Someone pushing Nan, me using the walker and all enjoy the lovely walk.
I've even learned more about food and my body, but that's for another post. :)

Moment of Strength: share a story where a female ancestor showed courage or strength in a difficult situation.
My great great grandmother Rebecca Jane Oliver Ausmus was a sweet lady who had four sons. She was married to an absolute, for lack of a better word, ass. He was an alcoholic who beat on her very chance he got. Our family history has it that one day, her mother Janet Kirkpatrick Oliver went to her husband and begged him to use their savings to hire a hitman to kill Frank (Rebecca's husband). Janet was simply tired of seeing her only daughter beaten by a man who was supposed to love and cherish her. Well, Frank went out one day and never returned and he was never found. Family history has it that the hitman was indeed hired and that Frank was murdered and his body disposed of. Rebecca went on to remarry and raise her sons and step sons in peace.
Then, in the early 1900s, her sons moved to Canada. She didn't want her children to live so far apart from her, so she immigrated with them. Her middle son John Calvin Ausmus' wife gave birth to a little girl who only lived for three days. Rebecca was so consumed with grief at her passing that she made her son promise that when she died, they would rebury Ruth with her. She died a year later, and John kept his promise to his mother. Grandmother and grandchild lie together in Rosetown, Saskatchewan, Canada.
I respect this lady a lot. She endured so much in her life. She is the perfect example to me of enduring to the end.

In a fight between a hippo and a rhino, the rhino would win. The rhino can run at faster speeds and weighs more than the hippo. In addition, the rhino has a sharp horn to defend itself, while the hippo only has teeth.
The winner of this fight can be determined by comparing the characteristics of the average male rhino and hippo. Rhinos can weigh over 7,700 pounds, while hippos only get up to 3,900 pounds. In addition, rhinos are able to run up to 24 miles per hour, while the hippo can only run 18. If it came to a head-on collision, the rhino would have the weight and force advantage. While the hippo is more aggressive than the rhino, the rhino also has a thick-armored skin that would prevent the hippo from biting through and a sharp horn that could easily pierce the hippo's skin.

Eating Instant Noodles with Secure and Convenient
Eating Instant Noodles with Secure and Convenient
Instant noodle is the most simple food consumed. Easy and practical. But keep in mind the danger. For example, sediment dyes are very harmful to the body.
Nutritionists said Afrinia Ekasari, instant noodles made from basic ingredients of flour, flour, eggs, water and minerals, and includes herbs and vegetable oils. It does have vitamins, but in fact, far from standard to meet the nutritional needs of figures. Especially for children. Eating Instant Noodles with Secure and Convenient
There are some malicious content in instant noodles, the preservatives and dyes that can not be broken down in the body, so tend not to be issued. So, if these substances are too often consumed, build up in the body and are carcinogenic or harmful.
"Therefore, to meet the nutrient, should be added to instant noodles vegetable and animal protein such as eggs, chicken, shrimp," said the woman, a long career in the food business. Afrinia suggest not too often consume instant noodles.
While Andi Imam Arundhana, a nutritionist from the University of Hasanuddin explained that the principles of a balanced diet, what is consumed should be diverse, have nutritional value. "Not only do contain carbohydrates, but also fat, protein and vitamins. Not quite the full course, "he said.
As an illustration, continued Andi, at breakfast, a person needs about 15-25 percent of the nutrients. While the content of instant noodles only meet about 16 percent of the carbohydrates and fat man (needs 2,000 kcal). Eating Instant Noodles with Secure and Convenient
Associated with preservatives, Andi said, although can be lost, it is very difficult. "Through human secretion system, at least about four days later," he said.
Since then, he said, even if forced to eat instant noodles, duration of 4-5 days at most. "Suppose today we already consume instant noodles, four days to five days later can only consume more," he explained.
Andi and Afrinia agree that the way to cook it should be noted, in addition to adding other foods when eating noodles, for health. Both suggested that when cooking instant noodles, boiled water discharged first. It is necessary to dispose preserved.
"It was only instant noodles in boiling water put a new one, so the levels of preserved out," said Andi.
Another way that can be taken are not using the default flavor of the noodles. "We can treat themselves like marinade while cooking," said Andi. Or, at least reduce the use of instant noodle seasoning. This is to minimize the entry of preservatives into our bodies.
"If it was enough, throw away the remaining marinade. If you want more sauce, it's good to replace it with added salt, "he said. "Various methods can be taken before, if we can not avoid the consumption of instant noodles."
Other parts that need to be addressed when buying. Ekasari Afrinia said, in addition to seeing an expiration date, composition, halal logo, make sure the packaging is also not deformed or torn. Because the condition of disability or torn, various insects can contaminate the instant noodles. Eating Instant Noodles with Secure and Convenient

Parmesan problems
Hi, my friend and I have embarked on the cheesemaking journey and have run into problems while aging a parmesan. The cheese was brined in a salt bath for 24 hours. We are storing it in a rubbermaid container at 55 degrees in a "cold room" in the basement of a house, the room has a slight damp smell to it. 93% humidity (We now recognize the humidity is too high and have since corrected this by moving it to a different room) After a few weeks of aging, it has taken on a moldy smell!! There has been occasional mold on it which we wiped off, but now the smell seems to have permeated the cheese. I have washed the cheese to try to get rid of the smell, but the cheese still has a faint stench. Can this cheese be saved? If so, how? Also, there is a crack in the cheese about 2 inches long, is this a big deal?


text: Drøbak & Oscarsborg Fortress Drøbak, located along the eastern shores of the Oslo Fjord just 30 minutes from down town Oslo is to many Norwegians known as the Christmas town of Norway. The many old wooden houses together with shops, galleries, cafes and restaurants makes the old town Drøbak unique and worth a visit. 200 years ago Drøbak was an important exporter of ice and timber which made the business flourished and prosperous merchants laid the foundation for the city as we know it today. In Drøbak you will find Tregaardens Julehus, Norway's first Christmas House Christmas House open all year, and Santa's post office. Over 20,000 letters is received every year from children worldwide. Many of these you can see if you visit the Tourist Information in Drøbak. Only five to ten minutes by ferry from Drøbak you will find Oscarsborg Fortress, situated right in the middle of the Oslo Fjord. Oscarsborg Fortress is known to most Norwegians as the fortification that sank the German cruiser Blücher during the Second World War. Today Oscarsborg is open to the public and in addition to the museum and the original fortifications there is several restaurants and a hotels there today. Every year there is an annual opera festival in August.

Since 2006, Jon Dooley Heating & Cooling, Inc. in Bakersfield, CA has been providing top-quality service for homeowners who want the very best in heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC).
Our licensed, bonded, and insured technicians are backed by owner Jon Dooley's 25 years in the HVAC industry. Jon performs all onsite work along with our highly-trained team.
We create customers for life because of our excellent workmanship and honest work ethic. We never require a contract for maintenance, so you use us only when and if you want us!
From the reviews we routinely get from our customers, we are confident you'll become a "regular" as well for any and all maintenance or service you need.
Like all companies on occasion receive bad reviews. Unfortunately it is part of being in business. We have to follow all state mandated laws no matter how unfair they might be. We work with Home Warranty companies and because we are under contract we have to follow the agreement set by the warranty company. I wish we could go beyond the scope of the state mandated laws and the warranty contracts but our goal is to remain in good standing with all laws and agreements with the warranty companies.
"I Found Jon Dooley Heating and Cooling by a friend's advice. They were able to come out on a Friday evening and had my problem diagnosed within minutes. The tech explained how my problem happened, what I should do to prevent it."
"We called Jon Dooley Heating and Cooling to fix our heater. The guy who came was very nice and helped us out with the furnace. So now they've become a regular for our home. Also, they cleaned up their work very nicely."
"Jon Dooley is single-handedly the greatest life-saver ever. Our air conditioner broke and our home warranty company [put us off] for a week. I finally called around and Jon Dooley [was] so friendly. They came next day, but we didn't hear them at the door. We called to reschedule and they were nice enough to come later that night, after hours. A new one was installed so quickly. I will forever be indebted to them. They were fast and professional and just awesome!"
"Jon was very professional and punctual. We have a home warranty that required maintenance check on our AC and furnace yearly. The home warranty set up the appointment for us so I was worried we would have someone that would take advantage, not the case. He check everything out, asked if I needed to change our air filter, explained what he was checking and made a recommendation to replace a worn part. We found our 'go to' AC service company! Thank you Jon and Audra!!"
"I use only Jon Dooley. He is great!!! There's nothing I would change about his service and I'm very happy with the results he's produced for me. I rate him Excellent!"

Every month an exclusive edition run of a photograph by an artist featured in Don't Take Pictures magazine is made available for sale. Each image is printed by the artist, signed, numbered, and priced below $200.
We believe in the power of affordable art, and we believe in helping artists sustain their careers. The full artist receives the full amount of the sale.
We are pleased to release October's print, "Nude, Self-portrait, Landsendi, Iceland, 2012" from Agnieszka Sosnowska. Read more about Sosnowska's work below.
Purchase this print from our print sale page.
It's Saturday afternoon and Agnieszka Sosnowska (Ag-niesh-ka Sos-now-ska) is in the barn on her farm in east Iceland, washing a new photograph. As with many of her images, this one tells a story of a wild, rural place, where survival depends on hard work, resourcefulness, and synchronicity with the rhythms of nature. This latest photograph tells of a mink that snuck into the coop and killed Sosnowska's chickens.
For several decades, this photographer's evocative self-portraits have garnered international attention. Born in Poland and raised in the United States, Sosnowska moved a decade ago to Kleppjárnsstaðir, the farm she shares with her husband and the place where many of her stories originate. Across the road from her house, a river spills into a waterfall. Hundreds of geese migrate and live on the nearby lakes. Night turns to pitch black and becomes rather lonely. One small earthly light shines on the horizon, coming from a church nine miles away. It reminds Sosnowska and her husband, they are not alone.
"Fishing, hunting, planting, and gathering are considered pastimes for many people in the developed world," Sosnowska wrote about her series that won LensCulture's Visual Storytelling Awards in 2015. "Farming to me, can be seen as a physical manifestation of a human's determination. A farmer's efforts are uncertain; such a life choice seems noble."
Maturity has helped Sosnowska realize and appreciate this. Back when she was an undergraduate at Massachusetts College Art and Design, and later a graduate student at Boston University, she avoided harsh weather. Now living on the farm, she can't. "It's tough just getting out in snow. The wind can be very strong," Sosnowska says. "It changes a person living this way. If you can get through it, it's only for the better. It's only made me stronger."
When Sosnowska was 18 years old, she began photographing herself in various natural settings using her Graflex 4 x 5 camera—the same camera she uses today. There's a fairy tale quality to these early images: beautiful innocence dancing on the edge of darkness. In a 1993 self-portrait, made in Norwell, Massachusetts, Sosnowska stood on the limb of a big tree with her feet turned out, her skirt playfully lifting at the hem. The viewer sees only her lower torso—no head. Thus, at quick glance, the figure appears to be hanging.
As a young photographer, Sosnowska was camera shy, and avoided showing her face in her self-portraits. That's changed. Now 45, Sosnowska turns her fresh, freckled face into the camera—at times sharing with it her nude or partially clothed body. She credits this boldness, at least in part, to meeting strong Icelandic women. "I'm always taken aback about how women support each other here," she says.
Her new confidence can be seen in "My Belt, Héraðsandur, Iceland." Sosnowska poses in a thin cotton dress with a rifle slung across her shoulders. Four geese hang from a rope tied around her waist. Her delicate frame contrasts with the sag of the heavy dead geese. Stretching behind her is a remote and rugged black sand beach that almost resembles a moonscape. The photograph is part homage to her husband, Rúnar Ingi Hjartarson, who hunts geese.
"The Haircut, Kleppjárnsstaðir, Iceland," is a more lyrical, symbolistic photograph inspired by sheep shearing. "Farmers will shear hundreds of sheep a day," Sosnowska says. "It's hard physical work. The end product of this are huge bags of wool that are overflowing."
Props play a significant role in Sosnowska's staging and re-enactment. For instance, she and her husband tried to trap the mink that killed the chickens, but couldn't. So when Hjartarson accidentally hit a mink on the road, Sosnowska took the animal's carcass and used it in the photograph that's now drying in the barn.
For "Haircut," Sosnowka tried various poses, both nude and partially clothed. Then she concentrated more on the story. "I had this old knife that I'd bought at the Salvation Army," she says. "It's very literal, but I wondered what it would be like if I started shaving myself, the hair from my own body?" Thus, she sat in a bag of wool and posed with the knife. It was her last shot. "I was lucky."
Though Sosnowska is rather candid in discussing her work, she hesitates when asked about a 2013 photograph in which she's posed on a rock over a rushing river, raising the body of a dead swan over her head. "It was grief," she says. "A lot of grief."
Her friend Kalli, who lived up the road on a simple turf farm, had just moved into town for the winter. He was murdered in his apartment. While still in shock, the next day Sosnowska saw a swan fly into a power line. Two deaths in 24 hours—so unusual in this quiet place. It left the photographer stricken and searching for meaning. To cope, she used the swan's body as a prop in a series of personal portraits.
One was made across the road from the farm, at the falls, where Sosnowska used a very slow shutter speed to turn the rushing water into a heavenly cloud. She holds the swan overhead so the pattern of the bird's feathers resembles the pattern in the falls. While life may be full of unfathomable mysteries, Sosnowska looks to her farm, to nature, to this special place where it all begins to make some sense.

Ep. 29: Gary Hustwit
Filmmaker, photographer and perpetual entrepreneur Gary Hustwit connects the dots of his DIY-driven path through independent music, independent publishing, and independent films, to his current preoccupation with non-fiction VR. Along the way he deconstructs the methods to his madness and expounds on the popularity of his trilogy of design documentaries: Helvetica, Objectified and Urbanized. Plus he teases a bit about his forthcoming doc about Dieter Rams, and confesses that an early disdain for avocados didn't prevent him from capitalizing on their market-appeal.

The 2011 disaster at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Station led to serious radioactive contamination of the environment. Due to transportation by seasonal wind and ocean currents, these radioactive materials have now been observed in many places in the Northern Hemisphere. This book provides a unique summary of the environmental impact of the unprecedented accident. It covers how radioactive materials were transported through the atmosphere, oceans and land. The techniques used to investigate the deposition and migration processes are also discussed including atmospheric observation, soil mapping, forest and ecosystem investigations, and numerical simulations. With chapters written by international experts, this is a crucial resource for researchers working on the dispersion and impact of radionuclides in the environment. It also provides essential knowledge for nuclear engineers, social scientists and policymakers to help develop suitable mitigation measures to prepare for similar large-scale natural hazards in the future.Read more

This 1973 photograph gives me hope. In fact, children have always been our best hope to turn the tide of anger and division resulting from years of negative acts and thoughts about people who happen to be different from us.
The innocence conveyed in this photograph is a powerful reminder that prejudice is a learned behavior. No one is born with hate in their hearts. A child's first teachers are parents. They determine their child's attitudes until they are old enough to form their own opinions.
I first experienced prejudice at the age of 5, when children at the Catholic school I attended hurled the N-word in my direction on a daily basis. I didn't even know what the word meant, but I knew by the looks on their faces and the way they spit out the word that it wasn't good.
An 81-year-old woman I met recently put the hurt of the N-word in context for me. If someone doesn't call me by name, she explained, it's as if I am invisible or don't exist.
I'd never thought of it that way. For people of her generation, it will never be okay for anyone to use that word.
Back in 1973, Joseph Crachiola was a photographer for the Macomb (Mich.) Daily. As he was driving around Mount Clemens, a suburb of Detroit, he saw these children playing together in an alley without a care in the world, according to an article on npr.org.
In the wake of the George Zimmerman verdict, Crachiola reposted the photograph on his Facebook page. "For me, it still stands as one of my most meaningful pictures. It makes me wonder… At what point do we begin to mistrust one another?," he wrote. "When do we begin to judge one another based on gender or race? I have always wondered what happened to these children. I wonder if they are still friends."
We've been talking about race relations quite a bit lately. I'd like to see us spend more time talking about how we get past the hurt and resentment that has dogged our great country for years.
For me, the answer is simple. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Respect and honor people's differences. Don't prejudge an entire race of people based on the actions of a few. Let go of the past and move forward together.
It's time, ya'll. It's time.
"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools." — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said in a 1964 speech in St. Louis.
"Can we all get along?" Rodney King, a Los Angeles construction worker whose 1991 beating by the police was captured on videotape. The officers struck King more than 50 times with their batons after a traffic stop. The officers' acquittal in 1992 sparked three days of rioting. Fifty-five people were killed and 2,000 were injured. King said these words at a press conference during the riots.

Floral silk
When the weekend arrives, I take every opportunity to wear the pieces of clothing that I'm restrained from throughout the week. These pieces would include anything from a sheer blouse to a pair of mini printed silk shorts. The blotches of floral print and pretty ruffles are summer appropriate and the silk material makes it light enough to be worn in the hot weather. I complimented the pair of shorts with a sheer lace blouse and pointy flats.
The randomly selected winner of the neon pink and gold bar bracelet is.. Joanna Le! Congratulations and look out for an e-mail from me :)

What do you get when you mix an artist with an engineer? You get an exhibit designer! From birth, I was groomed to have a career in architecture. My mom, the artist, taught me how to draw and my dad, the engineer, taught me how things worked and how to build things. Both my parents were very encouraging growing up and played an active role influencing me to become an architect. They bought me Legos and blocks, got me involved in intern programs and took me to see famous architecture. My favorite memory is when they took me to see Frank Lloyd Wright's masterpiece home, Fallingwater.
After participating in design camp at North Carolina State Universtiy, I decided that is where I wanted to go to study architecture. I applied to North Carolina State University and to the College of Design and was accepted to both. During my first year of design school I discovered the industrial design career path. Industrial design had a little more creative flexibility and a broader range of career paths than architecture so I decided to pursue that degree. My last year in college is where I discovered exhibit design. It was the perfect marriage between architecture and industrial design.
After college I worked as an engineer at an exhibit design house until a design position opened up. Here at ZigZibit I am fulfilling my career destiny as an exhibit designer and loving every minute! Other hobbies and interests include: shredding single track trails, carving fresh snow, pounding the pavement, headers and volleys, gridiron action, jet-setting and creating culinary experiences.

Steel TIPS
04.1997 > Seismic Design of Steel Column-Tree Moment Resisting Framese
By Abolhassan Astaneh-Asl, Ph.D., P.E.
Seismic Design of Steel Column-Tree Moment Resisting Framese
This report presents information and tips on seismic behavior and design of steel column-tree moment-resisting frames used in building structures. In column-tree moment-resisting frames, short stubs of girders are welded to the column in the shop and then the middle portion of the girder spans are bolted to the column trees in the field. Thus, the system is a field bolted-shop welded structural system. The emphasis of the report is on the seismic behavior and design of special ductile steel column-tree moment-resisting frames. A summary of relevant research and applicable code provisions is provided followed by design procedures that can be used to design steel column-tree moment-resisting frames. The appendix to the report provides a numerical example on seismic design of a typical connection of a steel column-tree moment-resisting frame. The example utilizes the concepts and recommendations presented in the report.

Dee Dee
Dee Dee grew up in the mountains of Vail, Colorado surrounded by majestic landscapes and a mother who was in constant creation of various mediums, paint, clay and all things design. She graduated from LSU with a BA in Landscape Architecture. She was an integral part of the design team for The Mondrian Hotel, The Flamingo on Miami Beach and large scale residential projects on Long Island, NY and many other commercial and residential projects throughout the country. She and her husband have been designing and building furniture since they first met. She has a deep love for yoga and meditation which she practices and teaches regularly.
The Work
The art is resin and mixed media on wood or canvas. She has through trial and success cultivated techniques that give desired effects, feel and movement. Some are intentional and some are divine. Her process takes anywhere from one day to two weeks to achieve the moment when it is clear to stop.
Dee Dee' s art is inspired by experiences both seen and felt. She delights in capturing the essence of a moment, the beauty of a sunset, the layers of a rock formation, the vastness of our universe, the delicate nature of a feather and so much more. She is grateful to have the medium to share her love and light with you.
When Dee Dee is not creating art with resin she can be found in a few different places; playing with her two daughters, Penelope and Poppy and her husband Brian, cooking up a delicious meal for her loved ones, or practicing hot power yoga with her friends.

"Wearing a nerve stimulator for 20 minutes a day may be a new option for migraine sufferers, according to new research published in the February 6, 2013, online issue of Neurology®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.The stimulator is placed on the forehead, and it delivers electrical stimulation to the supraorbital nerve.For the study, 67 people who had an average of four migraine attacks per month were followed for one month with no treatment. Then they received either the stimulation 20 minutes a day for three months or sham stimulation, where they wore the device but the stimulation given was at levels too low to have any effect.Those who received the stimulation had fewer days with migraine in the third month of treatment compared to the first month with no treatment. The number of days with migraine decreased from 6.9 days to 4.8 days per month. The number did not change for those who received the sham treatment.The study also looked at the number of people who had 50 percent or higher reduction in the number of days with migraine in a month. That number was 38 percent for those who had the stimulation compared to 12 percent of those who received the sham treatment." Can Nerve Stimulation Help Prevent Migraine?
I've heard of the ones on the forehead… but also the ones placed on the neck. Interesting idea, certainly I have not had much success with preventatives lately and I think doing both does no harm and the potential benefit sounds great. Sounds better than Botox given I hate the feel of that and didn't work for me anyway.

It seems like all I have for lately is Quick Updates. Sorry about that. Life has just been crazy and anytime I do have some down time...I take a nap. :)
Obviously I can't catch you up on three months worth of happenings quickly. So I will just make note of the few big things that are happening in my life.
1. Student Teaching is DONE! Hooray!
2. I have officially graduated from Northern Arizona University with a Masters of Elementary Education. I earned a 4.0 GPA and completed all requirements in only 17 months.
3. I have decided that I hate school and never want to step in another one as long as I live. Haha! I'm sure I just need a break, a BIG break. I might go back when I'm 50.
4. I'm pregnant.
I am 23 weeks along and having a little girl in September. And yes, that means I was in the beginning stages of pregnancy while student teaching. It was not fun being prego sick, student teaching, and pretending all the while to be happy and healthy, but let me tell you...I rocked it. No one at that school had any idea I was pregnant until I was 16 weeks along. (side note: my cooperating teacher insists, after the fact, that she knew I was pregnant before the 16 weeks. my unspoken comment: yeah right.)
5. I attended Wood Badge. I have wanted to go to Wood Badge for the past ten years! It was different than what I was expecting. And they gave me homework!! No one said anything about homework before I went. It's probably good that they didn't, because I was sick of school by then and wouldn't have gone.
Anyhoo, it was quite the adventure.
6. We're moving.
We're not moving to a different city. Just a different house about two miles away. It is in the county. It is lots smaller than our current house. It only has three bedrooms. It is in poor condition. So why are we doing it??
That darling, crumbling little house is sitting on THREE acres of IRRIGATED land. It is very exciting.
Adios, Amigos!

double woof - studio dog portraits/
So I photographed a cat the other day for the first time in the studio (I'll share that later). For those that know me well, this might come as a surprise as I generally try to steer clear of felines. Dogs on the other hand are great fun to work with!
At Zanzo, we believe pets are people too, so if you are thinking about visiting us for a family portrait then consider bringing the pets a long too! Or, if you'd love Dean to spend some time creating some images like these of just your fur children, then give us a call! 6223 1155 or click here.

There's another way of viewing our education crisis: it's a culture crisis. How many schools have taken a mirror and clearly articulated the shared values that unite their community, how they define success in a graduate (in terms of mindset, not test scores) and how they specifically approach learning? Let's consider each school to be the community center that it is. We need to bring administrators, teachers, parents and students together to co-create their culture and value set. This will give them the clarity and purpose for their pedagogy that is necessary to move forward with unified pride and confidence.
Paul Tough describes KIPP's attention to culture to give students an identity and sense of belonging.
Psychologist, Angela Duckworth explains:
"KIPP's approach to group identity is a central part of what makes the schools effective: 'What KIPP does is create a social role shift, so that a child will suddenly switch into a totally different mindset.'"
Cultural values are stated both explicitly with messaging posted everywhere and implicitly, woven into the DNA of how the school functions. This ethos and set of mantras help communicate a positive and opportunistic message: that intelligence is malleable and success is achievable for all.
We all need something to believe in. Culture doesn't mean religiosity or exclusivity. It means finding a story that gives us motivation and a clear way to feel successful.

The Cowgirl blog is under new management and the tip-line has been updated, the guiding principles remain the same.
Reader tips are the essence of this blog. Thank you faithful readers and tipsters across the state.
The Montana Cowgirl Blog is your source for breaking news, rumors, and inside scoops–often well before they are reported in Montana news outlets–along with serious matters of politics and policy.
While liberal in outlook, the site will be critical of Republicans, Democrats, and Independents alike–and will be accountable only to you, the readers and commenters. The Cowgirl Blog receives no money from anyone. I'm a volunteer blogger with no ties save those of sympathy.
I welcome you to email your facts, opinion, rumors, whistle-blowing, tips, and gossip without fear of retribution or reprisal. As a source, your identity will be protected if you desire.
Email firstname.lastname@example.com
Guest Post Submission Guidelines
These are exciting times for the Cowgirl Blog, for it has grown into a destination for the writings and comments of some of the state's top figures, newsmakers, experts and also young and up-and-coming journalists.
I encourage submissions and will print as many as possible but cannot guarantee publication. If you don't hear back from me about your submission (or tip), don't assume I didn't like it –I might have just missed it. So please email me again to remind me or send it again.
Here are some general suggestions for (not rules) that make a post submission more likely to get published. Consider a few helpful guidelines, which are universal for submissions to all periodicals but work for blogging too. I find that the posts that readers like most:
- Get to the main point quickly, within the first 100 words or sooner. Anecdotes work well for this.
- Write about something current, something that's in the news.
- "Leave out the boring parts, the parts that people tend to skip over" — Leonard Elmore
- Try to keep it well under 700 words if possible. Shorter is better, and less is more. There is always fat to trim, and web readers nowadays are busy people.
- Be respectful of all whom you criticize, and use facts (and links to them) to make claims.
- Write news. Give readers a scoop. Find a story. Give us your best Woodward and Bernstein. Be a journalist. I love tips, but I especially love when people actually do the research, gather the story, and write it up.
- Beware the "knowledge curse." Don't let your own expertise cause you to forget that many of your readers might not know very much about the topic you are writing about – help as all with a sentence or too of background so we can follow what you are discussion.
- Don't refer to a "congressional omnibus budget reconciliation Act" or whatever, without explaining what that is. (I would recommend politicians follow this tip, too.)
You can send your posts and tips to the tip-line at firstname.lastname@example.com

I've been poorly lately, down with some kind of Death-Cough 9000. I thought I'd beaten it after taking a two-week break from training, but alas. I went to one zumba class and one combat class and off we go again.
Today I've felt like lukewarm death, so I've been reading every damn magazine in this house and whilst I'm feeling somewhat like maybe a third of a person right at this moment, I've been doing some thinking. Mainly thinking of making a new layout for this site.
Because I'm absolutely not in the condition to stare at pixels at the moment. I'm feeling capable of sipping tea, orange juice and maybe nip on a sarnie. But that's it. And I'm gonna watch Twin Peaks – Fire Walk With Me later tonight.
Here's to getting better and getting back to the proverbial saddle on quite literally everything.

The good thing about a stir-fry is you can add just about anything you like. This recipe has a Korean inspired flavors but you can easily change up the sauce and the veggies to whatever you like!
Korean Tofu Stir-Fry (serves 2-3)
- 1 16 oz package of organic extra-frim tofu, dried and cut into cubes (see note below)
- 1 carrot, peeled and sliced thin
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 cup of each: mushrooms-sliced; cauliflower florets; red pepper-sliced into strips
- 2 green onions, sliced
- 1/2 cup of organic cornmeal plus a pinch of salt and pepper
- 1-2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 cup of Organic Soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp of Sesame Oil
- 2 garlic gloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp of Sesame Seeds
- 1/2 tsp of dried red pepper flakes or a tsp of hot pepper minced
- 1 Tbsp of organic cane sugar
- Mix all the ingredients together for the sauce.
- Once your tofu has been drained and cut into cubes, dredge it in the seasoned cornmeal.
- Heat up a large pan to medium high and add about 1 tbsp olive oil. Place the tofu cubes in the pan. Heat one side for about 2-3 minutes and then turn over and heat for 2-3 minutes. Remove from pan and reserve.
- Add more olive oil and add the onion, cook for 1 minute. Add the rest of the veggies and cook, stirring often for about 3-4 minutes.
- Add sauce to the pan, stir for about 1 minute.
- Add cooked tofu to the pan, stir for about 30 seconds.
- Serve with cooked basmati rice or noodles.
NOTE: An easy way to drain tofu is to wrap the entire block in several pieces of paper towel and then set a heavy object on it. I use a clean brick but you can place a plate on top and then a heavy food can of anything. Let it drain from 10 minutes to an hour.

Steve Jobs died six years ago. During his lifetime he was the subject of more than two dozen books, documentaries and feature films. And in the years since his death public curiosity has hardly diminished.
Are we obsessed with Steve Jobs? Obviously, there continues to be genuine interest in how he built and transformed Apple into one of the world's most valuable companies. But if much of that fascination comes from the cult of personality that surrounded Jobs during his life and, even now, continues after his death, do we learn anything new about his leadership?
This summer the Santa Fe Opera gave the first performances of "The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs." With music by Mason Bates and libretto by Mark Campbell, this new opera dramatizes how Steve Jobs came to be such an iconic and controversial figure. According to Bates and Campbell, "The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs" was conceived as a way for audiences to contemplate aspects of his leadership that haven't often been represented in the popular media. Its non-linear narrative, extensive use of projected images and a musical score that combines computer generated sounds with acoustic instruments mirrors the contradictions in his character. As Bates said in a recent NPR interview, "He was, while a very charismatic figure, quite a hard-driving boss. And his collisions with the fact that he wanted to make everything sleek and controllable — yet life is not controllable — is a fascinating topic for an opera."
For Bill Baker, editor of Association of Manufacturing Excellence's Target Magazine, who attended the premiere in Santa Fe, the opera met that ambition. "Jobs was a hero and a villain—internally-focused, my goal is my goal, no one else's goal counts. Then, as he matured, as he found out he was ill, he became more understanding of other people. All that was the evolution of Steve. I really saw that in the performance."
One can argue that the individual at the head of a company is only a part of what makes it successful or not, but outsized personalities compel us to question where the boundary between a leader and organization should begin and end.
Art does this well. Last year's film, "The Founder," starring Michael Keaton in the role of Ray Kroc, the controversial CEO of McDonalds, highlights the ethical shortcuts often taken on the road to mega-success. Opera performed live, with its stage constraints and emotional directness of music, singing and drama, has the power to go even further—to make palpable what is hard to put into words. And as corporations—with their global reach and influence—become the important institutions of our time, perhaps theater and opera can reveal aspects of their leaders that would, otherwise, be difficult to examine.
Those who knew Steve Jobs personally—his family, friends and colleagues—are aware of all the nuances of Jobs as a real human being. But for the rest of us, pondering his character, and telling and retelling his story makes it possible to learn from his wins and losses and to imagine ourselves in his place. Would we make similar decisions? See opportunities the way he did?
Steve Jobs would, no doubt, have been uncomfortable with an opera about his life, especially one which unsparingly probes his relationships and behavior. But I am certain that he would agree that technology and business are worthy subjects for the stage. One of his overriding motivations was that all human endeavors can learn from one another and that the arts, in particular, have a necessary role to play in the development of the products and technologies that can change our world.
Keynoting his final product launch in March of 2011, Steve Jobs closed with these very sentiments: "It's in Apple's DNA that technology alone is not enough — it's technology married with liberal arts, married with the humanities, that yields us the results that makes our heart sing."
"The (R)evolution of Steve Jobs" will be performed next at the Seattle Opera (2018—19) and the San Francisco Opera (2019—20.)

Meet Dolores
Chicory Releases New Food AI, Machine Learning Engine
Advanced Technology Uses Consumer Behavior to Match Digital Recipe Ingredients to Products
Chicory, a New York-based foodtech company paving the way for grocery ecommerce, today announced the release of their artificial intelligence engine, "Dolores." Dolores introduces advanced technology, which intelligently matches digital recipe ingredients to purchasable products that consumers are or will be looking for. Consumers can then buy the shopping list with just the click of a mouse via one of Chicory's grocery integrations.
"We were able to teach Dolores to implement the same subjective reasoning about food that humans make," said Yuni Sameshima, Chicory CEO and Co-Founder. "For example, Dolores sees that the recipe requires pepper and can deduce whether that is black pepper or a bell pepper based on the context, which allows us to better provide users with their desired ingredients."
The scale and diversity of the data that is incorporated in to Dolores makes the AI system completely unique and proprietary, and reflects actual user habits of the people that interact most prominently with recipes. With over three million recipes in the Chicory system, Dolores runs on information parsed from democratized recipe content from the Chicory network which was used to build a categorization system and product taxonomy. The final product identifies food brands, bundles related items and suggests related items to the consumer when an ingredient is out-of-stock. Dolores also matches recipe ingredients to appropriate products, and vice versa. Dolores can also determine whether the recipe it is reading calls for a specific product or brand or whether the user can go with an alternative, should the item not be available at their selected retailer.
Consumer behavior and interaction with Dolores will further inform its machine learning algorithm making it even smarter the longer it is in use. User-generated signals like product swaps in their carts will aid in supervised learning and show how grocery shopper habits are changing and ingredient preferences are developing.
