About Amaranth Edit
Flour is a creamy-light color. Our flour is very very fine flour. It makes nice tasting baked products. Amaranth tends to form a nice crust on the outside before the dough is cooked on the inside, so use the smallest amount of water you can, and allow for a little longer baking times than you might otherwise.
Amaranth species are cultivated and consumed as a leaf vegetable in many parts of the world. There are 4 species of Amaranthus documented as cultivated vegetables in eastern Asia: Amaranthus cruentus, Amaranthus blitum, Amaranthus dubius, and Amaranthus tricolor.
In Indonesia and Malaysia, leaf amaranth is called bayam, while the Tagalogs in the Philippines call the plant kulitis. In Karnataka state in India it is used to prepare Hulli. Palya, Maggigayhulli and so on. In Tamil Nadu State, it is regularly consumed as a favourite dish, where the greens are steamed, and mashed, with light seasoning of salt, red chillis and cumin. It is called keerai masial (கீரை மசியல்). In Andhra Pradesh, India, this leaf is added in preparation of a popular dal called thotakura pappu. In China, the leaves and stems are used as a stir-fry vegetable and called yin choi (苋菜; pinyin: xiàncài; and variations on this transliteration in various dialects). In Vietnam, it is called rau dền and is used to make soup. There are two species popular as edible vegetable in Vietnam: dền đỏ- amaranthus tricolor and dền cơm or dền trắng- amaranthus viridis.
In East Africa, Amaranth leaf is known in Chewa as Bonongwe, and in Swahili as mchicha. It is sometimes recommended by some doctors for people having low red blood cell count. Also known among the Kalenjin as a drought crop (chepkerta). In West Africa such as in Nigeria, it is a common vegetable, and goes with all Nigerian carbohydrate dishes. It is known in Yoruba as efo tete or arowo jeja ("we have money left over for fish"). In Congo it is known as lenga lenga or biteku teku. In the Caribbean, the leaves are called callaloo and are sometimes used in a soup called pepperpot soup.
In Greece, Green Amaranth (Amaranthus viridis) is a popular dish and is called vleeta. It's boiled, then served with olive oil and lemon like a salad, usually alongside fried fish. Greeks stop harvesting the (usually wild-grown) plant when it starts to bloom at the end of August.

As you cut the foam try to keep the blade flush with the base of the piece. You only want to remove the amount that sticks up and you want to leave as much as possible in the model. In the picture above you can see one that has been cut and sanded. For the sanding I used 100 grit in a long sanding block. You might want to use a courser grit. After sanding I rubbed each piece on the driveway. The rough concrete surface worked as a large sander.
Above are the first couple of filled and trimmed craters. There is slight warpage on the Blastscape piece. This was there before it was filled and the filling did not change the warpage. Each piece is now sturdier and heavier. They are much more stable and will be excellent on the game table. I am very happy with how these are progressing.

Wanted to share an article in today's local paper.
Wanted to share an article in today's local paper.
How shall I describe my work? My acrylic paintings are inspired by the "hot southwest" and "cool pacific coast" locals with various characters or flora from each. I focus on a style inspired by the color theory of pointillism and use either rounded dots in various sizes or large rectangular brush strokes. They tend to "smother" the whole canvas. My paintings are abstract images utilizing bright colors that "play" with the viewers eyes.
My painting studio is anchored with the sounds of musical rhythms that keep my brush moving to the beat so that I don't get caught up in the making of each mark. Painting becomes an internal chant, repeating the same action over and over. If the music stops, I hum. I focus more on the process of color placement vs. the actual subject itself. I have to "step back" to really see what it is I'm painting; sometimes spending the whole day without really looking at the image until I'm ready to stop. Then my critical eye tells me where to focus the next time I start up.
My art studio is private and at the edge of the Goldfield Mountains in central Arizona. While trekkers roam the area, still "look to the hills for gold", I've found my on little goldmine where creating art is a meditative bliss. Being creative is my gift to me. My hope is that others will experience a sense of spontaneity and freedom from my work.

Paroles de 3rd ward court date
Verse one: (tec-9)
It all started in the streets at the age of ten
I started hangin' out late snatchin' purses with my friends

Stupid clown i jetted with her purse and i hear some

The One That Got Away
Do you have a story about the one that got away? I think that we all do because nobody is able to land all of their fish. Fish are actually pretty good at getting away. They jump, wiggle, spray, and sometimes dance across the water seemingly making fun of us before diving back down to their watery hiding places.
The fish's skills of escape are what make catching fish so much fun. When fish catching is easy, fishing isn't as much fun anymore. Basically it's the challenge of catching the fish that is so exciting to us. So the fish has to have a chance to get away for the game to be fun. Luckily for us bass are just naturally pretty good at the art of escape and that gives us lots of chances to tell stories about the one that got away.
It usually doesn't bother me when a fish gets away, because it was so much fun just to have the opportunity to do battle with the fish. I also had a lot of fun tricking him into battle in the first place. We start to have problems when we've set goals for ourselves in fishing. Now the one that got away might have enabled us to achieve our goal and if the fish gets away we have failed. Bummer! If I had a dollar for every "one that got away" story I've heard at tournament weigh-ins I would be a very wealthy man. It doesn't take very long for any angler to learn that everybody has "one that got away" stories and that they are just part of the game.
I cannot help but observe that the most memorable "one that got away" stories are usually the ones that involve very important fish such as a really big fish, or the last fish that we needed for our limit of fish to win a tournament.
Over my fishing career I have had so many one that got away moments that I truly can't remember them anymore. I think that they have all just blurred together. As I write this, I can only clearly think of one story off hand and it happened long before I ever thought about a career in fishing. It really isn't much of a story either, but it's the only one that I can think of right now. I was fishing on a lake north of the U.S. boarder for walleye and I hooked into something really big that pulled really hard and moved very slowly. It moved nothing like any of the other walleyes I had ever caught before. It fought straight down to the bottom and I struggled several minutes just to get it halfway up to the surface before it suddenly made another dive to the bottom and broke my line. I was excited and disappointed at the same time. I never even had a chance to see what kind of a fish it was, but I still remember that battle pretty well and it happened a long time ago.
I'm really glad that I began to write about this subject because it brought back that memory for me. It was bittersweet for me at the time, but it's a good memory for me now. Here's to "The One That Got Away"!

We have a new YouTube series that we think will make installation and choosing the right heater for you that much easier.
What may have started as a dark, damp, and cold, is now a place where you're spending a lot of your time, so wouldn't you want it to be warm and comfortable?
Mike and Julie have spent the past few years looking for a solution to bring a reliable heat source to their two Minnesota cabins. After a long search, the two found Cadet electric baseboard and wall heaters to be the perfect solution to bring affordable heat to individual rooms without an extensive remodel.
Make sure the voltage supply matches the heater rating and that the heater is clean. If it continues to run slowly, the motor and/or heater may need to be serviced or replaced.

The Shining. The Haunting of Hill House. Wuthering Heights. In all of these novels, nearly the most important part of the story is the house itself. When you consider literature in which the physical setting of the house is of monumental importance, there is usually a symbolic and a psychological component as well.
In the horror genre, setting, symbolism, and psychology is easily conveyed through a haunted house or in one in which the haunted live. Creaks, ghostly sounds, disembodied forms or perhaps shadowy figures set the scene for fear in the reader and terror in the characters that live there. In many cases the house has a life of its own.
The house in Shirley Jackson's ghost story is as much a character as John, Eleanor, Theodora, or Luke. Hill House is an enormous mansion in which even the caretakers won't stay at night, but it's a draw for supernatural investigators and those who want to experience spiritual activity. It's a physical setting for the story, but it's also a psychological device, allowing the reader to experience spikes in heart rate and those proverbial spine-tingling chills at the suggestion of ghostly sounds and spirits in the halls. All of the tried and true Gothic tropes, like writing on the walls and strange and unexplainable occurrences, really are sparks for imaginative horror. The same is true in The Shining, where the house seems to be striking out at the family, and their trapped and isolated condition is an additional agent of fear. Ultimately, the physical setting can produce terror all by itself.
But the psychological comes into play as well. In Hill House and The Shining, we're dealing with unreliable narrators, so in many points in both stories we don't know what's really goin on. Is Jack losing his mind or are the plant animals really coming for him. I think the addition of psychological terror is especially effective in haunted houses. Most people have heard noises while sitting in a dark room and wondered if the sound was real or imagined. Many people will recognize the vulnerability of the human mind. That makes stories like these somewhat relatable.
Finally, the symbolic. For this I reference Wuthering Heights, although I think it applies equally to The Shining. In Wuthering Heights there is a small ghost story at the beginning, regarding the return of Catherine Earnshaw Linton's spirit, but mainly the setting coincides with the dissolution of happiness and family. Once a happy home, after Heathcliff's vengeance, the house becomes a withered shell, offering nothing but hardship and brutality to those who enter. For The Shining, it's representative of Jack's darker, intermittently hidden persona. On the outside, he's projecting the image of having pulled it together, but once he's trapped in the house…game over.
Houses are complex. We live in them. Our lives mark the walls, stain the floors, or leave constructive or destructive evidence of our existence inside and outside their structures. It's what makes houses such great literary fodder. It's why I love to write about them. They're more than a setting for me. In many ways they are a silent narrator.
What's your favorite "haunted house" story?

JAKARTA • Indonesia's annual inflation rate climbed again in May to reach the highest in 14 months, data from the statistics bureau showed yesterday, but the increase was slightly less than expected.
Consumer prices rose 4.33 per cent in May from a year earlier, the highest annual increase since March last year, according to the bureau, compared with April's rate of 4.17 per cent. A rise was anticipated because price pressures traditionally intensify in the days leading to the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which began on May 27.
On a monthly basis, the consumer price index rose 0.39 per cent as prices of food such as garlic, eggs, chicken, rice, meat and chilli increased. Core inflation rate, which excludes government-controlled and volatile food prices, went in a different direction and cooled to 3.2 per cent last month, from 3.28 per cent in April. The poll had expected a rate of 3.31 per cent.
Bank Indonesia (BI) targets annual inflation at 3 to 5 per cent this year, but it has said the rate may reach the top of that range at the end of this year. Its next policy meeting is set for June 14 to 15.

William has always enjoyed working with people and strives to help them reach the peak of their financial success. He has a passion for helping people understand and grow their wealth and takes great pride in knowing a product or service inside and out before offering it to a client. William's interest in the financial industry began in 2008, starting with a personal investment in mutual funds. In 2009 he attained his life insurance and accident and sickness licenses, which he currently holds through National Best Financial Network. He also took several business classes from McEwan University, adding to his knowledge of the industry.
William got involved with Pinnacle Wealth Brokers because he wanted to be able to offer his clients more than what was available with traditional public market investments. Through these Exempt Market channels he is able to help his clients diversify their investments in the private markets.
William learned the ropes of small business and rental property ownership, by working with his parents who were heavily involved with both. He witnessed first-hand the flexibility of time enjoyed by business owners, and wanted this as an aspect of his own career.
Before coming into financial services William gained experience in the service industry, most recently as a bartender, allowing him to increase his communication skills with a wide variety of people.
When William is not working, he enjoys spending time with his family and friends. He is involved in the community and spends a few hours a week volunteering at the Mosaic Centre in Edmonton, and as a counselor for a boys club at his church. William also enjoys reading, traveling and spending time outdoors, including skiing in the winter months and has recently picked up golf.

The petitioners, at the Day 4 of the presentation of their case on Tuesday, called as their eighth witness, Maijigiri, who said he served as the party's collation agent in the state for the presidential election in Katsina State.

The results INEC declared for the state, however, showed that PDP polled 160,203 votes while the APC polled 1,505,633.
Atiku and his party, are by their petition filed before the five-man tribunal led by Justice Mohammed Garba, challenging the victory of Buhari and the All Progressives Congress, APC at the poll.

Lisa's top 5 favourite ingredients!
Today our ambassador Lisa shares her top 5 (actually, 6) favourite ingredients and how she incorporates them into her every day routine.
1. Blueberries
Little blue babies picked straight from my blueberry bush - packed with goodness!
2. Avocado
Because it's so versatile. So satisfying. A squeeze of lemon and some Himalayan pink sea salt sprinkled on top - the perfect snack.
3. Kale
I add it to a green juice, in a salad or my favourite is roasted in the oven. Hello Kale Chips!
4. Almonds
I love them roasted or thrown into a salad... also eaten on their own, or blitzed into nut butter. Yum!
5. Cucumbers
The mini kind. My favourite way to eat them is with a fermented cashew dip. Delish!
And one more for good luck...
6. Chia seeds
Thrown in a smoothie or soaked with coconut cream to make a chia pudding and topped with berries or slices of mango. Or add a teaspoon of cacao to make a chocolate version.

Late last week, Illinois confirmed that Miami transfer wide receiver Jeff Thomas had signed a financial aid agreement and will enroll at the university in the spring of 2019. Not long after, one of Thomas' high school teammates indicated he's joining the same Big Ten program as well.
On social media, Rey Estes announced that he has decided to transfer from Minnesota. Not only that, but the defensive back confirmed that his landing spot will be, you guessed it, Illinois.
Estes, then a quarterback, and Thomas were teammates at East St. Louis High School. The Belleville News-Democrat writes that "Estes and Thomas connected memorably on a 23-yard touchdown pass as time expired to defeat Glenbard North in the 7A quarterfinals [in November of 2016] and keep their championship season alive."
"Buckle up! I'm home! Thankful for this opportunity and chance to continue to play B10 ball!" Estes wrote on his Instagram account.
Estes was a three-star member of the Gopher's 2017 recruiting class. After redshirting as a true freshman, he played in one game this past season.
In confirming Thomas' addition to the roster, Lovie Smith said in a statement that the football program "will fully support his efforts for immediate eligibility at Illinois." It's unclear at the moment if Estes will seek immediate eligibility as well.

News :: 2018
Yungchen Lhamo, Natalie Merchant in benefit concert at Old Dutch Church in Kingston on Nov. 10
ON THE WEB, 8 November 2018
Singer-songwriter Yungchen Lhamo and her special guest Natalie Merchant will perform a charity concert, titled "One Drop of Kindness" on Saturday, 10 November, at the Old Dutch Church, 272 Wall St., from 7 p.m.-8:30 p.m.
Percussionist Bashiri Johnson, who has worked with Sting, Michael Jackson, Madonna and Lionel Richie; and guitarist Bob Bottjer, who has backed up artists such as Ernie Smith and Vaughan Penn, will accompany Lhamo and Merchant.
Inspired by Tibetan mantras and spirituality, Lhamo's music has been described as "beautifully evocative," "mesmerizing" and "transcendent." Lhamo, whose Tibetan name means "Goddess of Song," has performed in more than 80 countries worldwide and at venues like Carnegie Hall, the Sydney Opera House, Royal Albert Hall and the Louvre.
Her first CD, "Tibetan Prayer," won the Australian Recording Industry Award for best world album in 1995. After receiving the award, Lhamo began touring internationally and was signed to Real World Records by Peter Gabriel, the former lead singer of the rock group Genesis. She has since shared the stage with numerous artists, including Paul McCartney, Lou Reed, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Annie Lennox and Jewel.
Proceeds from the concert will benefit the Yungchen Lhamo Charitable Foundation, which she founded in 2004. The foundation initially provided clothing, shoes, educational supplies, building materials and also funded infrastructure such as clean water for those in need in Tibet and Nepal. In recent years, it has expanded to include projects in the United States under the name One Drop of Kindness.
Lhamo, a Kingston resident, has focused on music, role-playing therapies and the use of simple mantras to benefit the area's homeless, developmentally disabled and mentally ill. She also joined Merchant and other artists in Kingston for the One Billion Rising event in 2013 to raise awareness about domestic violence.
"This concert aims to bring healing to people who may be suffering," she said in a press release. "One Drop of Kindness is about connection. We are all connected, and every life is deserving of respect, tolerance, compassion and unconditional love.
"Singing recharges the inner body, and I hope that people who come are inspired by what they hear and experience some awakening and that feeling of connectedness."
Admission to the oncert is $15 per person or "your own drop of kindness." Visit YungchenLhamo.com for more information.

Over the two decades or so that I've been writing about male grooming I've probably been asked thousands of questions. Many of them are answered in this blog, others across the various publications I've written for over the years. Some questions come up time and again, though, and I recently answered 20 of the most common of them for The Telegraph. So if you're wondering how much fragrance is too much, whether five blades really are better than one or what products you should never put near your nether regions you can find out here.

Five ways to tame a grizzly beard
They might be stylish. They might be convenient. But like grizzly bears, grizzly beards can be wild, untamed and prickly old things if not taken care of correctly. So here are five ways to tame the beast – with a little help from me and Brisk beard care…
1. Keep in trim.
A neat beard is a sweet beard so ensure you keep your face fungus tidy with the help of a decent, adjustable beard trimmer. Use a brush or comb to straighten the hairs out before trimming and always trim your beard when it's bone dry: hair expands and relaxes when wet so if you trim it when it's damp it'll look shorter once it dries. Remember, too, that your beard doesn't have to be the same length all over. By cutting it a few millimetres shorter under the chin you'll create a much softer, more natural transition line. You can do the same if you have a bushy beard and very little hair on your head – by 'fading' the sideburns up towards the head you'll prevent a jarring divide.
2. Comb and condition.
As with relationships, beards tend to be trickiest in their early stages. The first few days of growing one can be uncomfortable and challenging: your new chin accessory may itch, tickle and feel strange to begin with. But there are things you can do to minimise any initial discomfort. Applying a little Brisk Beard Oil throughout the growing process will help keep hair soft, manageable and conditioned. Quickly absorbed and non-greasy, it's the perfect for minimising the itch and there are four versions to choose from: Tea Tree; refreshing Citrus; warm and masculine Cedarwood; and Unfragranced if you prefer to smell au naturel. You can apply using your fingertips or use a moustache comb or beard brush to distribute it evenly throughout your beard
3. Give your beard a blow dry.
Yep, you can blow dry the hair on your face just like the hair on your head. Simply use a small brush or comb to ease the hair downwards with the help of a hairdryer on a cool setting. Once dry, apply a little beard oil to finish off. This a great way to tame unruly beards, fill in small bald patches and to ensure your beard looks neat, tidy and at its fullest.
4. Dodge dandruff.
If you were to run your fingers through you beard right now chances are, you'd trigger a small snowstorm of skin flakes (go on, try it). If you do, don't feel too bad – beard dandruff is an occupational hazard of having facial hair. It occurs because hair tends to draw moisture away from the face, leaving the skin beneath dry and dehydrated. On top of that, because you're not shaving regularly any dead skin cells can build up beneath your beard.
Thankfully, minimising beard dandruff is simple: firstly, cleanse your beard thoroughly with Brisk's Beard Shampoo, which is designed to cleanse without stripping skin and hair of its protective oils. By massaging in with your fingertips you'll quickly dislodge any stray dead cells. Choose between the Unfragranced Beard Shampoo or the Tea Tree and Cedarwood version. Tea tree is known for its anti-fungal and anti-bacterial properties so is great for ensuring your beard is clean and fresh. Then apply one of Brisk's Beard Oils (my own favourite is the Citrus one) to ensure hair is conditioned and the skin beneath it is hydrated. Again, make sure you massage in with your fingers to ensure it reaches the skin beneath.
5. Be patient!
If your face furniture looks patchy and uneven in places be patient. Like raising a child you never quite know how your beard will turn out until it's fully grown. If it looks patchy don't panic – as it grows in length some gaps will fill in naturally. Yes, it will look a bit wild for a while but keep it clean and conditioned and show it some love and you'll soon have a beard that's tamed and looking top-notch.
About Brisk
Brisk Beard Oils combine nourishing natural almond, avocado, argan and jojoba oils in an ultra-light formula that's highly conditioning is quickly absorbed. All Brisk Beard Shampoos are designed to leave facial hair clean, soft and manageable and are paraben & sulphate free. Available from Waitrose, Boots, Superdrug and from briskgrooming.co.uk.

Ten great moisturisers for men
I'm often asked to recommend my favourite moisturisers and if you happen to be looking for one my recent piece for telegraph.co.uk will certainly help point you in the right direction, regardless of your skin type or the size of your wallet. To see my picks simply click here or on the image above. Happy New Year – and happy hydrating!
Ask The Guru: Every time I use an eye cream my skin ends up red and puffy. How come?
Chances are, you're using too much. Eye creams are great at combating puffiness, dark circles and fine lines but they're potent things and the skin around your eyes is very fragile so smothering the area with too much eye cream can counteract its benefits.
Unfortunately, a lot of men tend to think that using more of a product leads to better results but eye creams, along with serums and scrubs are products where less is often more.
So to get the most out of your eye cream gently pat a tiny amount (no bigger than a small grain of rice) around the edge of each eye socket using the tip of your ring finger. This finger has the lightest touch so it's perfect for applying eye products. Don't rub the cream in as this can irritate the delicate skin around the eye.
Ask The Guru: What is fragrance layering?
Layering is useful way to build up a long-lasting fragrance 'impression' by using products from your favourite scent's body range and is the perfect way to smell great all day long, without having to reapply your fragrance.
To layer, simply use the fragranced shower gel, soap, deodorant and aftershave balm in tandem, finishing off with some eau de toilette. Using body products from the same range as your fragrance also helps you avoid nasty antiperspirant/shower gel clashes and, if your favourite range includes a fragranced body moisturiser, will help the scent last a little longer on the skin. Layering's also great for achieving a subtler effect too, however. If you're going for an interview or just want to smell good for work, for example, apply everything but the eau de toilette.
Ask The Guru: Do I really need to use a hair conditioner and how long should I leave it on for?
If you want to improve the look, feel and manageability of your hair, a conditioner is certainly a good idea, yes. Regular shampooing tends to strip hair of its natural protective oils and brushing, blow-drying, central heating and hostile weather can damage the hair's outer surface.
Each hair is covered in tiny cells which look a bit like fish scales and damage to the hair causes these to stand out which makes the hair look dull and out of condition. Conditioners work by smoothing down these "cuticles" so your hair looks smooth and shiny again. They're also great at reducing static.
All hair types benefit from conditioning but with greasy hair the trick is to use the conditioner sparingly and if hair is long, to concentrate on working it through the ends which tend to be drier.
As for how long you need to leave it on your hair, the answer is not long. You can usually ignore whatever it says on the bottle unless you're using a 'leave-in' conditioner – most good ones work immediately so can be washed off once you've massaged them in.
Ask The Guru: What's the best way to deal with knotted hair?
First off, if you're suffering from tangled or knotted hair I pretty much hate you because it means that, unlike me, you have a pretty thick thatch. But, hey, I'm not so bitter that I won't provide an answer to your little hair problem.
The best solution is to invest in a Salon Elite Tangle Teezer (£11.20 from tangleteezer.com). A specially designed knot-busting hairbrush it's the perfect way to keep your barnet tangle-free. "Guys can get really hung up on how much hair gets left in regular hairbrushes after detangling so can be a bit scared about brushing out knots," says the brush's inventor Sean P. "With Tangle Teezer, the teeth uncoil the hair in a natural manner so there's no pulling or yanking and there's very little hair left in the brush." Bad news for Wayne Rooney's transplant surgeon maybe, but good news for you.

Unable to format a 512GB USB thumb drive on 32-bit Win OS
The USB thumb drive will not format for me, I have tried the traditional avenues of right-clicking on the drive and selecting format, but it fails within seconds. I have tried using diskpart but when I type list disk I find disk 1 but it shows No Media. So I rebooted my machine and now when I do list disk I now see a status of online with a size of 500GB, but diskpart is still showing 0B free. I am trying a Clean all command to see where it takes me. I finally got a response from the Clean All command, Diskpart has encountered an error: The semaphore timeout period expired. See the System Event Log for more information. Any ideas of what I can try to get around this error would be greatly appreciated.

A fake flash drive is a small capacity drive that has been altered to show a capacity larger than it actually has. Real capacity may be 2 GB or even less. Sometimes they are drives that failed manufacturers tests and were supposed to be destroyed but fell into the hands of fake sellers. They have become a serious problem in recent years, particularly with drives in the larger sizes sold by outlets such as eBay from sellers in the Orient. Packaging of these drives is often very good.
512 GB flash drives do exist but will cost about $250 and up. eBay advertises 2 TB flash drives for as little as $12.66 but they have to be fake.

I had always been a fan of hand made soaps. In 2014, my youngest son headed off to college and we were officially empty nesters. I had been a stay at home Mom to my three kids for so many years and was now wondering where my life was going to take me. One day my husband said..."Why don't you start making soap?" I was always looking for a place to buy hand made soap so it made sense to start making it myself. It was at that time that I was starting to become aware of how all of the harsh chemical put into commercial bars literally disrupted our hormones and had many other negative effects on our bodies. All of our bars are 100% natural with no artificial fragrances or ingredients. We NEVER compromise on the quality of our ingredients.

A one day guide to full body pampering at LANDMARK's spas.
LANDMARK has for many years been recognised as the premier destination for luxury shopping, although you'll be happy to know that the lifestyle destination also offers no shortage of spa and wellness options to recuperate from urban life. Here, we lay out the best way to make the most of them in one day.
Start your spa day by exorcising the city's toxins from your body with the 90-minute Detox & Anti-Cellulite full body treatment, which incorporates a head-to-toe massage to stimulate the lymphatic system to encourage natural detoxication, reduce water retention, and ward off any incoming illness. Finish off with the 60-minute de Mamiel Pollution-Proof Facial treatment to unclog your pores with the help of Cleanse Release 10 technique, herbal compresses, and a qi-rejuvenation massage, leaving you cleansed and energised.
Spruce up your eye power next by heading to Suavislash Couture, where a team of eyelash experts can tease your lashes into their most voluminous self. Choose from six styles, three densities, 7 degrees of curvature, and different lengths and thicknesses for a practically limitless range of lash extension options. Beginning with a questionnaire and an assessment of your eyelash condition, the stylist will then clean your eye area with eye masks before bonding the extensions to your natural lashes, ending with a blow dry. The whole process takes no more than two hours, although you're free to doze off while the stylist does their work.
Next, settle into ii Alchemy Hair & Nail's ethereal interior for a trim in the capable hands of Herman Law and his well-trained team of hairstylists. Choose from a menu that includes colouring, perms, scalp and hair-loss treatments, as well as mani/pedi offerings for your male companion.

I arrived in DC on Friday afternoon and met up with Whitney, Becky, and Rachel, three very good friends of mine from college, for dinner at Founding Farmers. I went to Founding Farmers for the first time two years ago during my last trip to DC and absolutely loved it. The restaurant strives to source ingredients responsibly. You can read more about their philosophy here. I am particularly fond of the menu which offers several small plates, salads, and flatbreads in addition to larger entrees.
Founding Farmers also has a nice selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages. Rachel ordered an Arnold Palmer and Whitney got a lightly sweet and fizzy blood orange soda.
To start, a few of us split the Ricotta, Pistachio, and Dates flatbread. Ricotta with any dried fruit and nut is one of my all-time favorite combinations. Add in some crusty sourdough bread, and it is a deliciously creamy and crunchy appetizer.
Becky ordered Lisa's Pickled Vegetable of the Day, which last Friday was green beans and red pepper. This dish got points for the charming presentation. The beans were snappy and packed with the salty and vinegary brine.
Whitney ordered a very filling plate of 3 hot dogs: pickled jalapeño hot dog, chili dog, and chicken salad dog. She only made it through the latter two.
The hot dogs came with a plate of thickly cut and spicy housemade potato chips. I love thick potato chips and these were particularly crunchy.
Becky enjoyed the 17 Vegetable Salad with cannellini beans, beets, asparagus, grapes, hard boiled egg, Jonny's nuts, and a champagne vinaigrette.
Rachel and I split a few small plates. When we were seated, we were given a list of the seasonal market vegetables that were featured that night alongside the meat entrees. They allowed us to order them a la carte, and Rachel and I chose the sweet potatoes and the kale. The sweet potatoes were mashed with honey and possibly cayenne. They were very rich and creamy and hit you with an unexpected kick. I don't often have sweet potatoes spicy and it was a nice alternative.
On the menu, the dish was listed as just kale, but when it arrived, it was mostly cabbage with just a few pieces of kale served in a very rich butter sauce. I fully enjoy cabbage but I was really hoping for a kale dish and the kale actually paired better with this sauce than the cabbage did. Additionally, the presentation left something to be desired.
The Farmer's Salad had baby lettuce, avocado, dates, tomatoes, red grapes, almonds, parmesan cheese, and a champagne vinaigrette. While it was satisfying and flavorful, it was somewhat lacking compared to its description. If the description includes avocado and parmesan, I expect it to have more than just one chunk each of avocado and parmesan. There was also one lone crouton, which I found odd.
While this meal was not as stellar as my first experience at Founding Farmers, it was certainly very enjoyable. The atmosphere is fun and vibrant. The bar area was hopping with young professionals winding down after the workday, but by no means raucous enough to disturb people enjoying their dinner. Service could have been a tad more attentive. It took forever to get our appetizers, and though I was hungry, I wasn't bothered too much because I was enjoying catching up with my friends. Appropriately, Founding Farmers is best enjoyed with a group of people, in my opinion.
After dinner, we headed to a wonderful show at the Kennedy Center, which I was excited to visit for the first time. We saw Broadway actor Alexander Gemignani perform a one-man cabaret show, "All at Once." We considered ordering dessert at Founding Farmers, but decided to give our stomachs a rest and get dessert after the show. This way, we could get dessert at Kramerbooks instead, one of Rachel's favorite places in DC. I had stopped into Kramerbooks on my last visit to DC but I had not checked out the cafe, which has a dizzying selection of desserts. Rachel mentioned two words during dinner, Goober Pie, and all I could think about for the next two hours was peanut butter mousse. The Goober Pie has a graham cracker crust filled with peanut butter mousse and topped with chocolate ganache and a sprinkling of chopped peanuts. Peanut butter pies sometimes threaten to be aggressively heavy and dense. This mousse was delightfully light and airy. The ganache was the part that was a little too rich, but overall, this dessert was fantastic. It was served with a small dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate and caramel sauces.
I was tempted to get the salted caramel chocolate cake, but we decided on the mixed fruit crumble with cinnamon ice cream since we already had one decadent chocolate dessert. When it arrived, the ice cream had already started to melt over the warm crumble. The fruit had a bit more crunch to it than I usually encounter in crumbles, but it was quite nice combined with the soft crumb topping and the melted ice cream. I totally understand why Kramerbooks is one of Rachel's favorite spots. Both the bookstore and the cafe were packed and buzzing with energy on a Friday night. It's a great place to go to leisurely browse books or grab a late night bite with a group of people.

Prime Minister John Key appears to have softened his defence of New Zealand's tax-free foreign trusts, saying that the Government would consider any recommendations to tighten the rules.
Mr Key said today that he did not "hold a candle" for New Zealand's foreign trust laws and revealed that one of the reasons the Inland Revenue Department (IRD) had not reviewed them was its huge workload.
The leak of more than 11 million documents from a Panama-based law firm drew attention to New Zealand's tax-exempt foreign trusts, which have been reported to be attractive to offshore investors because of minimal disclosure requirements.
The documents showed that a senior Malta politician and a Mexican tycoon had opened trusts in this country.
Mr Key is now under pressure to act as New Zealand is described as a "tax haven" in some international media coverage of the leak.
Yesterday, he repeatedly insisted that trust laws had been unchanged since 1988 and no tweaks were required. He also pointed out the $24 million in income they provided through accountancy fees.
Speaking to reporters at Parliament this morning, he appeared to be better briefed on the issue.
He said New Zealand was a signatory to 40 double tax agreements and 11 tax information-sharing agreements -- one of which was with Malta.
That meant any trust and its trustees had to be recorded by New Zealand and any of those countries could ask for disclosure of these details.
"It's not like we're trying to operate in some black hole," he said.
However, legal experts say New Zealand's trust laws allow investors to keep their identity, country of residence, assets, and any trust beneficiaries a secret. Foreign trust holders were also not required to file financial records with an institution in New Zealand.
The Green Party will this afternoon seek leave to urgently debate a law change which would require these details, and others, to be disclosed by a person setting up a trust in New Zealand.
Co-leader James Shaw said the bill would put an end to the "legalised secrecy" which made foreign trusts so attractive to criminals and tax cheats.
Mr Key said the Government was "quite happy" to tighten up the rules if it received any recommendations. It would have to be certain, however, that any amendments did not undermine New Zealand's tax base.
The IRD warned about the reputational risks related to foreign trusts in 2013.
Mr Key said the former Revenue Minister Todd McClay consulted on the issue at the time, and was told any changes would require a significant amount of work. The department already had a large work programme, he said.
"If the situation changes and people think it's warranted then they should go and deal with it. We're not holding a candle for this stuff. We're just simply saying it's been there for a long time."
Labour leader Andrew Little said the issue could not be swept under the carpet.
He offered to work with Government to form an inquiry on the scale of the issue and how the Government might respond to it.
