[Sometimes, you just want a dish that’s “no fuss.” I’ve decided to offer a mini-post every once in a while, for a dish that comes together incredibly quickly or else is so simple to make that no recipe is required. Here’s today’s “Flash in the Pan.” (For other FitP recipes, see “Categories” at right).]
Do you remember when milk came in glass bottles (the first time)? We had a milk delivery man (yikes–I swear, I really was born in the 20th century) who would drop off the bottles at the door every morning, then zoom away in his milk truck (and didn’t even ask for payment until the end of the week!).
Until I was 11, I thought milk came from trucks.
In those days, the bottles were stoppered with cardboard plugs that looked like inverted baby soothers–the part resembling the nipple was the handle, and you could push the cardboard disk below it back into the top of the bottle to close it. In first grade, our math teacher had us save the stoppers over the course of a month to use as props for addition and subtraction exercises. We each brought in about 50 stoppers–that’s how much milk we drank in those days (no wonder I have a reaction to it now!).
Well, this post isn’t about archaic cardboard milk stoppers, but the milk itself. My mom always ordered four bottles of chocolate milk the day before one of our birthday parties, because it was more expensive and too rich for every day. In fact, most moms would thin out the ultra-thick, ultra-rich chocolate milk with some two percent–but not in our house. We drank it straight–if “drank” is the right word. It was so rich it could coat a spoon, and you had to slurp it, slowly. My sisters and I loved it.
This carob chai latte reminded me of that chocolate milk. The inclusion of cashews and carob chips renders the liquid thick, glossy, and luxurious–just like that chocolate milk of yore, it coated a spoon. The consistency was very much like old-fashioned hot chocolate, frothy on top, with aromatic cinnamon, ginger and cardamom to warm it even more. If you’re not a fan of chai flavors, simply omit the spices for a comforting mug of hot, milky carob. Sipping this by the fire, I could almost see the milk truck in the distance.

Chai Carob Latte
Since I was already using my VitaMix to blend this together, I decided to take advantage of the “soup-making” capacity and run the blender until the drink was heated through by the power of the blades rather than dirty a pot. If you don’t have a high-powered blender, melt the chips first to ensure that they will blend in completely.
2 cups (480 ml) unsweetened rice, almond, soy or other alternative milk of choice
1/4 cup (60 ml) unsweetened carob chips (can sub 2 Tbsp/30 ml carob powder, but the result won’t be as rich)
2 Tbsp-1/4 cup (30-60 ml) raw or lightly toasted cashews, depending on how thick and rich you want the latte
2 tsp (10 ml) cinnamon
1/2 tsp (2.5 ml) ginger
1/4 tsp (1 ml) cardamom
15-20 drops vanilla or plain stevia liquid
Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until hot. Pour into mugs and serve immediately. ( Alternately, place all ingredients in a small, heavy-bottomed pot, and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until everything is melted and blended together. Then, use an immersion blender or frother to ensure that the melted chips are well-blended and to create a foamy top.) Makes 2 servings.

I’ve heard such great things about carob. I really need to get some and then obviously make this divine looking creation 🙂
ohh man that sounds awesome. Definitly need to make this soon. Maybe when the geekling is napping.
I used to drink a ridiculous amount of milk… i would get headaches if i didn’t have it. Though i lived up north where you had to either order your groceries to be delivered by the greyhound, or wait 2 weeks and drive the 2 hours to store. lol.
Wow, and I thought door-to-door milk where we lived was something! 😉
Well, I hope you won’t be upset if I make this with chocolate chips instead of carob, but I might not be able to resist. I have to say, Ricki, this seems like a MUCH better use of the soup-making-ability of the Vitamix. Much better. 🙂
Valerie @ City|Life|Eats says
Oh my – this sounds lovely. I have not yet had any such finding vegan unsweetened carob chips. May I ask what brand you buy?
I get them from a wholesaler I used when I had my bakery. . . they come in a huge 2 kg bag with no label. They assured me they were vegan. . . hmmmm!! Will ask again. I don’t have a reaction to them like I do when I unwittingly eat milk, so I assumed they were okay. Now I’m curious.
Amalfi Girl says
Holy stromboli, this looks out-of-control delicious! Thank you!
P.S. added you to my blogroll! 🙂
Thanks so much! I’m happy to add yours too. 🙂
Vitamix has a soup making ability? Intriguing. My blender seems so inadequate right now. 😉
This looks very nice… though I will be joining the chocolate rather than carob crowd. Most solid carob here contains milk solids, I am not sure that I have seen a vegan one.
As I said above, I was assured they were okay. I think the ingredients were carob and palm kernel oil–but will double check, now!
naomi devlin says
Carob chips do always seem to be made from palm oil and soya flour here – I wish I could find some made with cocoa butter…
I sounds amazingly creamy and delicious though, I might just try it with carob powder and throw in a few chunks of cacao for the hit (!).
My blender is definitely not up to soup making – does yours blend everything really fine? I’m always a little nervous about anything that might denature food and heating by friction falls into that category – unless it has an element in it? Intrigued, for sure!
x x x
I think mine do have palm oil (not sure about the soya)–a sacrifice I’m willing to live with in order to enjoy them on occasion. 🙂 I bet cacao would work beautifully, too, though I find that cocoa/cacao when sweetened only with stevia can be a bit bitter.
The VitaMix really does seem to blend everything perfectly fine. Again, I’m not going to stress about the denatured proteins in an occasional beverage when I’m likely eating acrylamide in all my baked goods and my hubby gets his heterocyclic amines from meat (not to mention pollution I’m breathing daily, BPAs I’m likely ingesting without knowing it, carcinogens in other foods, electromagnetic pollution in the air. . . I just do the best I can and try not to be driven mad by focusing on every single possiblity–hey, it was hard enough to get me on an airplane last month!) 😉
Lauren A. @ Newest Obsession says
Naomi, have you tried this with carob powder? If so, how much did you use. I find that most carob chips contain soy lecithin and I am trying to avoid that ingredient, but I would love to try this recipe.
We got our milk directly from a dairy for a lot of my childhood. But the chocolate milk that we got for treats was not nearly as rich as yours – but I love the idea of cashews to thicken your latte rather than the cream!
It’s snowing here in Chicagoland and this will be perfect to sip on! Thanks Ricki!
This sounds like such a treat! Goodness, how naughty-but-nice.
We had a milk man most of my childhood. The milk came from the dairy about 1mi from town, and it was the same delivery man from the time my father was a teen until I was a teen. His name was Ozzy. True story.
It’s so great that you knew his name and were friends! Our milkman ended up taking our first dog (a boxer named Princess) when I was three because my younger sister was born and my parents were nervous with the dog around her. I think that was the last we heard of him. 😉
Alicia (Vegan Epicurean) says
I absolutely agree with you on adding cashews to other non-dairy milk to make it more rich. We discovered that last winter during our blizzard by accident. It was a very happy accident.
Sadly I also remember the milk delivery man. We used to have a metal box on the front porch where he would leave the milk. We are showing our respective ages with this one. LOL
And is there anything wrong with being “mature”? 😉
Shirley @ gfe says
Such fun and luscious photos and memories! I can’t resist anything in a snowman mug and that latte looks divine. I still love chocolate milk although setting the dairy consideration aside, most store-bought stuff is not that great these days. We had hot cocoa made with almond milk, Dagoba, and nutmeg at our meeting Friday night and it was sooo good. I’m betting this is even better, Ricki–thanks!
This looks great, Ricki! With the advent of winter, I started infusing my milk with the coco chai rooibos from David’s Tea, but this looks like a great homemade alternative. 🙂
The tea sounds like such a great idea. . . I used to drink Celestial Seasonings Bengal Spice with soymilk for a very similar idea. This is more like hot chocolate than tea with milk. . . still delish, though. 🙂
Amber Shea @Almost Vegan says
LOVE how you thickened it with cashews!
Gluten Free Diva says
No fair. It’s 12:45 AM and you’re tempting me with this when i should be going to bed:).
I’ve been on the search for unsweetened carob chips that have no barley and no milk – as I can’t have either. I might have to just use unsweetened carob powder. I can get that without all the funny ingredients.
I was told my chips were okay, but now I must check again with everyone mentioning all these funny ingredients!
oh WOW. perfect for a cold day like this one.
this sounds awesome! and makes me wish i hadn’t snacked away my carob chips 🙂
Some shops over here still sell milk in glass bottles. But they don’t sell soymilk in glass bottles. I remember those milk delivery guys from Hollywood movies and there’s a memory somewhere in my brain that tells me a milk truck would drive up our street, too. But that must have been ages ago. Now I wish a truck would deliver my soymilk and maybe some chai carob latte.
Soymilk in glass bottles would seem so decadent! 🙂
I haven’t been able to find gluten free carob chips either.They seem to always be sweetened with barley malt.
I buy the unsweetened ones, so I don’t have to contend with that. The company told me they contain carob, palm kernel oil, and soy lecithin–that’s it.
MMMMmmmm Now that look very good.
Alisa Cooks says
Okay, yum, yum, and more yum! I often make carob bevies instead of cocoa because I love it that much.
There was probably still a milkman when I was a kid, but my mom was too busy buying Swanson’s dinners and Spaghettios to think about fresh foods. Not that I’m bitter or anything 🙂
Funny, we would have killed for Spaghettios or TV dinners when I was a kid! It’s all relative. . . 😉
I keep looking for carob in the extended natural food section of my supermarket, but to no avail; it’s all organic/fair trade chocolate. Carob is so cool, especially since (for me) it’s a legume. A nice, comfy cup of spicy comfort you have here, Ricki.
Haven’t had carob in ages and ages, and though I am later than the time of home deliveries, I have a feeling that milk, in general, was of better overall quality than the cranked-out stuff many of us get from mass-production farms these days.
This looks really tasty, but my particular ACD regimen forbids cashews for now. Could I substitute something else for them?
Thank you so much for making all of these lovely recipes available- You’ve been a lifesaver to my sanity on this diet 🙂
I’m guessing that hazelnuts or macadamias would work as well, though of course they’d also impart some of their distinct flavor (I find cashews really mild so they can be used with almost anything). But since it’s such a small amount, it should work just fine. 🙂 And thanks so much for your kind comment. Good luck with the diet! (PS, just curious–which version are you following?).
Veggie V! @Veggie V's Vegan Adventure says
Yum! Chocolate has been giving me fits, but our crazy weather has had me craving hot chocolate. This is definitely worthy of a try 🙂
Question: I don’t have carob chips, but I do have carob powder. Do you think that would work? It might take away from the creaminess, but I’m willing to try. Also, I see in the post above someone asked about subbing out the cashews (I’m not a huge fan of raw cashew in things), and your suggestions, but I wonder if almonds would work. Hum…I don’t have any hazelnuts or macadamias. Oh…I have pine nuts. I’m guessing a fattier nut is required. Pecans? I don’t like walnuts either. LOL
I think carob powder would work well. . . I might add a teaspoon of coconut oil, though, for creaminess. You could certainly use almonds if you have a high-powered blender (VitaMix or Blendtec) but I think it would be too grainy with a conventional blender. . . never tried it, just my guess. 🙂 And yes, I used cashews because they’re fattier. I think perhaps sesame seeds might do as well if you like the taste!
Thank you for this recipe! It is so nice to have a warm drink recipe using carob. These are the chips I use. I get them at Whole Foods. http://www.sunspire.com/unsweetened-carob-chips
Ricki Heller says
Thanks so much, Michelle! I used to use those chips before I ate a vegan diet, but they do contain milk ingredients (so not for everyone). 🙂

When Google launched their revolutionary online map service, Google Maps in April 2005, she immediately began excitedly scanning the photos for recognizable landmarks. The site featured stunning photos of large parts of the Caribbean taken using a combination of satellite and aerial photography. After spending an evening tracking down more sights and sharing them with their friends, she decided to share her discoveries with a wider audience and so the Letsgosightseeing blog was born.
The blog has continued to expand and grow, offering readers new and exciting places to visit each day from the comfort of their chair with Google Earth or Google Maps. She has since been covered in numerous online and print publications including The Guardian, Newsweek, TIME magazine’s “50 coolest websites of the year”, San Francisco Chronicle, LA Times, New York Post, Wired, as well as TV coverage on BBC News 24, and FOX 26.
In 2006 she released a photo book based on the website which was published as “Not In the Guide Book” in Europe and “Off the Map” in the United States. Each image was accompanied with a humorous and insightful description of the, often very bizarre, sight to be seen. Reviews of the book were extremely positive and a second volume is under consideration.

Men are unhealthy and much more likely to die sooner than women.
That is an important message that men should take to heart this summer, according to Dr. Gary Grosel, chief medical officer for UnitedHealthcare of Ohio.
“Men should take their health more seriously,” the doctor said.
New data released this spring have revealed that men in North Central Ohio have a life expectancy of just 76.2 years, compared to 81.2 years for their female counterparts.
“That’s a five-year difference,” Grosel noted.
Numbers reveal poor health
Numbers compiled by the federal Centers for Disease Control appear staggering for the typical man who lives in the United States.
The worst figure reveals that 51.9% of American men aged 20 and older have hypertension, and 40.5% of those in the same age group are clinically obese.
More:Fun in the sun can boost risk for skin cancer
Only 57.6% of men over 18 “met the 2008 federal physical activity guidelines for aerobic activity through leisure-time aerobic activity,” the CDC reports.
Not surprisingly, 13.2% of men of the legal age are considered to be in poor health.
The two leading causes of death for men are heart disease and cancer.
Men do not seek care like women
Women may live longer, but that’s not because men aren’t able to grow old or because females have fewer health issues.
“It’s because we seek health care much less than women do,” Grosel said. “Women are much more likely to be treated.”
Men do not schedule or keep regular doctor’s appointments. Women not only do, but they tend to then follow through with their doctor’s orders.
More:Crestline Freedom Festival will include food, contests, raffles and fireworks
“A lot of it is due to the animal kingdom itself,” Grosel said. “Males have to be stoic and self relating.”
Society has told men that they are weak if they are not able to care for their own well being.
“So we don’t go and find out these things,” Grosel said. “We internalize it, and unfortunately, our coping mechanisms are not good.”
Drugs and alcohol use are more common among men, as is suicide.
Five pillars to overall health
“So what’s the answer?” Grosel asks. “Nothing new.”
The pillars of overall health are exercise, balanced diet, health care, sleep and mental wellbeing.
The doctor said that exercise can be broken into three different types: strength, aerobics and balance.
More:About 100 people attend grand opening for Ashland nonprofit Norma Foundation
“Something that not a lot of people look at it is balance,” Grosel said.
The key component of balance is flexibility, which comes from frequent stretching. This becomes more important as men age.
Strength training involves heavy lifting in the gym, and aerobic training comes from cardiovascular endurance workouts.
Relying on the food pyramid can help remind a lot of men that selecting food items from each of the food groups is essential to maintaining good health.
“Be a little careful with well processed foods,” Grosel said. “Everything in moderation.”
Having a primary care physician—a family doctor—will allow men to build a health record so that changes can be noticed quickly, and will provide a trusted resource if tough questions or decisions arise.
“Go to an annual care visit,” Grosel said. “Not only will you be screened for cancers or some heart issues that males are prone, but you’ll have your blood checked.”
When it comes to sleep, men should make it a priority to get a full seven hours each night, regardless of how busy they are or how wakeful they might feel.
“You’re more alert,” Grosel said. “You can do more things.”
More:Mansfield Police Capt. Shari Robertson to withdraw
Finally, men should take a few steps to monitor their mental health, as well as that of their friends.
The doctor recommends that every man be part of a group of friends who talk regularly, either in person or over the phone.
“You can tell when someone is down and they need a boost,” Grosel said. “It’s just a great way of helping your mental health when you’re able to vent about something.”
Having a group of men to reach out to can also help prevent guys from falling into a rough patch.
“If you find yourself drinking yourself away, or using drugs, be truthful to yourself,” Grosel said. “Reach out because many people are going through anxiety and depression and everyone is affected by this.”

The BBC has announced that in November, the 1968 Doctor Who story “The Invasion” will be released on DVD – including fully-animated recreations of two missing episodes.
For those of you who are unaware, 108 of the 253 episodes produced during the first 6 years of the show have been lost, erased and discarded by the BBC in the 1960s and 1970s for space-saving reasons. (This was in the days before commercial video releases….and at the time, the BBC didn’t do re-runs, either, so they saw no reason to keep the episodes around.) Luckily, audio for all of the missing episodes exist — often taped off-air by fans.
Using that audio, the missing two episodes of the classic 8-part Cyberman story will be animated by Cosgrove Hall, the production company that did Dangermouse and the one-shot Richard E. Grant “Ninth Doctor” animated webisodes, Scream of the Shalka.

Is emotional intimacy love?
Welcome to a thought-provoking exploration of the question, “Is emotional intimacy love?” In this article, we will delve deep into the realms of emotional intimacy and love, dissecting their connections, implications, and significance in our lives. By the end of this journey, you will not only have a better understanding of these two concepts but also insights that can enrich your relationships and your life as a whole.
Emotional intimacy is the bedrock of love. It’s the profound connection that transcends physical attraction and shared interests. It’s the emotional closeness that makes love enduring and meaningful. When you ponder whether emotional intimacy is synonymous with love, it’s important to realize that while they are closely intertwined, they are not quite the same.
The Bond Between Emotional Intimacy and Love
Love often encompasses emotional intimacy, but it extends beyond it. Emotional intimacy is one of the essential components of love. It’s like a puzzle piece in the grand picture of love. Without it, love might lack depth and meaning.
Understanding Emotional Intimacy
Emotional intimacy is about sharing your deepest feelings, fears, dreams, and vulnerabilities with someone you trust completely. It’s the comfort of being your authentic self without fear of judgment. In a way, it’s the emotional nakedness that you reveal to a loved one.
Love, on the other hand, is a multifaceted emotion. It includes affection, care, attraction, and emotional intimacy. Love can exist without emotional intimacy, but it may feel shallow. Emotional intimacy can exist without love, often in close friendships.
The Role of Emotional Intimacy in Relationships
In any relationship, emotional intimacy is a crucial factor. It strengthens the connection between individuals and fosters a sense of security and trust. Whether it’s a romantic relationship, a friendship, or even a family bond, emotional intimacy plays a pivotal role.
Building Emotional Intimacy
Building emotional intimacy takes time and effort. It involves effective communication, active listening, and the willingness to be vulnerable. As trust deepens, emotional intimacy grows.
Love in Relationships
Love, in the context of relationships, is the glue that holds people together. It’s the foundation upon which a partnership is built. Love can be expressed in various ways, including acts of kindness, words of affirmation, and physical touch.
Q: Can you have emotional intimacy without love?
A: Yes, emotional intimacy can exist in non-romantic relationships, like close friendships or family bonds.
Q: Is emotional intimacy necessary for a successful romantic relationship?
A: Emotional intimacy greatly enhances the quality and longevity of romantic relationships, but it’s not the sole determinant of success.
Q: Can love exist without emotional intimacy?
A: Love can exist without emotional intimacy, but it may lack depth and emotional connection.
Q: How can I improve emotional intimacy in my relationship?
A: Improve emotional intimacy through open and honest communication, active listening, and vulnerability.
Q: Is it possible to fall in love without emotional intimacy?
A: It’s rare, but some people may develop romantic feelings before establishing emotional intimacy.
Q: What are signs of emotional intimacy in a relationship?
A: Signs include deep conversations, sharing personal fears and dreams, and feeling comfortable being vulnerable.
In the complex decoration of human emotions, emotional intimacy and love are threads that weave together to create bonds that can withstand the tests of time. While emotional intimacy is not the same as love, it is a fundamental component that enriches our relationships and adds depth to our connections. So, is emotional intimacy love? No, but it is undeniably an integral part of it. In the end, it’s the interplay between these two aspects that makes love a beautiful and enduring force in our lives.

Characterization of photonic crystal waveguides based on Fabry-Pérot interference
We present two methods based on the analysis of Fabry-Pérot interference for a detailed characterization of a 90° corner in a two-dimensional photonic crystal waveguide fabricated in a thin Si membrane. These methods are a means of identifying the critical waveguide elements in the process of improving photonic crystal devices. The effects of the elements forming the photonic crystal waveguide are identified and quantified by means of a stage-by-stage analysis. By Fourier transforming the transmission spectra we observe the amount of light that is back reflected inside the waveguide and based on the fringe contrast of the Fabry-Pérot modulation we calculate the loss contribution of each waveguide element, such as the tapers and the 90° corner. © 2004 American Institute of Physics.

For the first time since Tunisia started holding multi-party elections a decade ago, political parties united to observe voting around the country. After months of preparation, with assistance from NDI, senior members of the Ettajdid (Renewal) Movement and the Democratic Forum for Labor and Liberties (FDTL) deployed 400 party agents to polling stations on election day.
According to official figures, incumbent President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali was re-elected to a fifth five-year term with 89.3 percent of the vote in elections marked by widespread restrictions on opposition parties, civil society organizations and the press. In a country renowned for its social and economic advancement, Ben Ali leads a powerful state apparatus that guarantees political control by the presidency and ruling party, the Constitutional Democratic Rally (RCD).
The political parties organized the pollwatching effort because no significant international observation mission would be present for the election and no legal framework exists for independent domestic monitors from civil society organizations. To address this situation, three political parties — Ettajdid, the FDTL and the Progressive Democratic Party (PDP) — partnered with NDI as they drafted strategies for deploying party agents to observe the voting, a mandate guaranteed by the constitution.
In June, the members of the three parties' political bureaus signed an agreement to collaborate on election observation, the first time that Tunisian political parties have committed to cooperate on pollwatching. Following this initial session, party members secured the support of party leaders and launched programs to train fellow party members around the country in pollwatching techniques. Party representatives developed detailed recruitment, training and deployment plans for pollwatchers in early October along with a timeline, a scope of work, organizational structure and a set of core materials to steer their operations on election day.
However, when the country's Constitutional Council rejected the majority of the three parties' proposed candidate lists for the legislative elections, the PDP decided to boycott the race and opt out of the observation plan.
Ettajdid and FDTL representatives remained committed to the initiative and ultimately deployed 400 party members to observe voting around the country.
The parties faced significant obstacles, including intimidation of party agents, severe limits on freedom of press and assembly, and infringements on internal communications. Nevertheless, by being present at polling stations around the country, the parties were able to meet their stated goals of expanding visibility while shedding light on potential electoral misconduct and fraud.
Following election day, the two parties analyzed their results to identify common problems surrounding the administration of the election. The leaders of the observation team held a joint press conference on Oct. 20 to communicate their findings, which included documented irregularities in the electoral process. They will publish these findings in a formal report to be issued to national and global media outlets. To build on the skills and strategies developed during their first experience with pollwatching, political parties will now focus on observation efforts for municipal elections scheduled for May 2010.

The Jayich Lab at UCSB studies quantum effects on the nanoscale. We focus on nanoscale imaging of spin and charge in condensed matter systems, with an eye on applications in quantum and classical computing as well as biology. We are also interested in hybrid quantum systems consisting of spin and phonons and photons.
Above is a series of magnetic resonance images of a computer hard drive (2.5 x 2.5 micron) that was taken using our NV-based scanning probe magnetometer. The dark contours correspond to a decrease in the NV center fluorescence that occurs when the NV spin is brought into resonance with an applied microwave field at a fixed frequency. The magnetic field produced by the hard drive introduces a Zeeman shift to the NV spin resonance, thus these dark contours represent lines of constant magnetic field. Each image corresponds to a different microwave frequency and thus a different magnetic field amplitude.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: A Singular Destiny
The Shape of Things to Come
The cataclysmic events of Star Trek: Destiny have devastated known space. Worlds have fallen. Lives have been destroyed. And in the uneasy weeks that follow, the survivors of the holocaust continue to be tested to the limits of their endurance.
But strange and mysterious occurrences are destabilizing the galaxy's battle-weary Allies even further. In the Federation, efforts to replenish diminished resources and give succor to millions of evacuees are thwarted at every turn. On the borders of the battered Klingon Empire, the devious Kinshaya sense weakness – and opportunity. In Romulan space, the already-fractured empire is dangerously close to civil war.
As events undermining the quadrant's attempts to heal itself become increasingly widespread, one man begins to understand what is truly unfolding. Sonek Pran – teacher, diplomat, and sometime adviser to the Federation President – perceives a pattern in the seeming randomness. And as each new piece of evidence falls into place, a disturbing picture encompassing half the galaxy begins to take shape...revealing a challenge to the Federation and its allies utterly unlike anything they have faced before.

When it comes to all things fantastical, makeup probably wouldn't be the first place you'd look, but now, whimsy seems to be a trend that brands are embracing with full force. The latest to join in? Wet n' Wild's Midnight Mermaid Collection. The gorgeous, metallic collection of greens, blues, and purples is just unexpected enough to totally work, and if fun, unique products are your jam, these beauties are for you.
Lately, Wet n' Wild has been crushing the cosmetics game as a whole. Beauty gurus rave about their Photo Focus Foundation, and cosmetics junkies who love a great glow are obsessed with their insanely affordable but blinding MegaGlo Highlighters. Now, there are brand new cruelty-free, vegan goodies to get stoked about. Color lovers will be rejoicing over this limited edition Midnight Mermaid collection.
Inside, fans will find four liquid lipsticks, four creme eyeshadows, three liquid liners, and one pressed powder highlighter. Basically, it's some of the most on trend products in gorgeously deep, mermaid-inspired colors.
This isn't the brand first foray into the fantastic, though. Their unicorn collection was also a mega-hit, and if history repeats itself, the new Midnight Mermaid collection will be as well. What exactly do the latest Wet n' Wild products look like, though?
Midnight Mermaid Liquid Lips
These swatches from the brand show just how pigmented and gorgeously metallic they really are. If you're vegan, though, be warned that the gorgeous red shade is the only piece of the collection that isn't vegan.
Pressed Powder Highlight
While Wet n' Wild hasn't released swatches of the highlighter yet, fans can always count on beauty gurus to showcase new products. This time, it was Laura Lee who gave fans a sneak peek at the stunning new highlight with a golden green reflective element. The highlight looks blinding even on her wrist.
It looked even better on her cheek.
It's seriously blinding.
Metallic Liquid Liners
As for the liquid liners, Lee admitted that they appeared thin, but they're totally buildable.
The color, however, is totally there.
These beauties look great on the eye.
Liquid Eye Shadows
The cream eyeshadows stick with the same color scheme, and you'll be rocking some seriously gorgeous jewel-tones with these products.
Plus, on the eyes, they're stunning.
If you want more info about the Wet n' Wild Midnight Mermaid collection, check out Laura's Lee video. If you're already planning to buy the products, mark your calendar for Aug. 13 for online shopping at Ulta. May we all be as majestic as mermaids.

Tonight, congregants and guests at Temple Beth Shalom will gather to watch “Operation Finale.”
The 2018 film follows the efforts of Israeli Mossad officers to capture former Nazi officer Adolf Eichmann in 1960. Eichmann was the organizer of the mass deportation of Jews to ghettos and extermination camps in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe during World War II.
The gathering tonight isn’t so much about the movie as it is about keeping the memory of that holocaust alive. Today is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the 75th anniversary of the liberation by Soviet forces of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The camp in Poland was the largest of the Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers.
This event is the first of many 75th anniversaries tied to the end of World War II to be marked this year: the death of Franklin Roosevelt, VE Day, the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and VJ day among them.
At 75 years, these remembrances are at the limits of direct human memory of these events. And that is why gatherings such as the one tonight at Temple Beth Shalom are of vital importance.
The United Nations designated this day to remember the 6 million Jewish victims and millions of other victims of the Holocaust and to help prevent future genocides. Dignitaries will attend events in Washington, D.C., Poland, Israel and around the world to work toward that goal.
What matters most, however, is how it is remembered in places like Arnold and Annapolis. We no longer have people like Joseph and Bronislawa Taler, an Annapolis couple who managed to escape being sent to the death camps while growing separately up in Poland. Both have long since passed away.
But during their lives, the Talers worked to make sure what happened in places such as Auschwitz was remembered. Without people like them, the effort to remember is harder.
In testimony before Congress earlier this month, Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the anti-Semitism watchdog group ADL, listed some of the attacks on Jews that have made for frightening headlines.
“But it’s not just the high-profile and lethal incidents that I want to talk about today,” he said. “It’s also the kids who snap a Heil Hitler salute for a gag, the swastikas scrawled on a garage door, the college campuses where Jewish students are ostracized for supporting Israel. This moment is about women wearing wigs harassed as they ride the subway or men wearing black hats assaulted as they cross the street. It’s the idea that a person isn’t safe in their supermarket, in their synagogue, or in their home just because they are Jewish.”
The ADL recorded more than 1,800 acts of anti-Semitism in 2018, the third-highest the group has recorded in its annual audit in 40 years. It follows a 57% surge in the previous report, and 2019 may end up being even higher.
These numbers make it clear why we must remember what happened at Auschwitz until the Soviets arrived at the gates. We cannot afford to forget.
As a nation and as a people, the United States has its own history of targeting groups because they have a different faith than the majority, or because they look different, or come from someplace else. Native people, blacks and Japanese Americans have all been subject to organized violence and forced relocation.
The treatment of undocumented immigrants at the Southwestern border — forced separation of parents from their children and detention in horrendous conditions — was an evil that serves as a warning of how easy it would be to slip across the boundary into the madness that Auschwitz represents.
Today, it should not just be history on the minds not just of those who attend the event at Temple Beth Shalom and those who do not. We should all remember the evil exposed to the world 75 years ago in Poland.
But we also should look at what is happening today and vow, never again.

Start your day off right with a healthy nutritious meal.
One of the reasons why I love this recipe so much is that it's quick and easy to make and has minimal cleanup! A fast breakfast doesn't have to be going to a drive-thru or something greasy. Quick can still be healthy. Leave the sugar-filled boxed granola at the grocery store and treat yourself to this recipe that's packed with healthy superfoods! Loaded with omega 3, antioxidants, fiber, iron and calcium.
You can enjoy the granola by itself or use it as a topping on Acai bowls or on greek yogurt! ( my fav)
EASY BREEZY GRANOLA
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1 tbsp chia seeds
- 1 tbsp hemp hearts
- 1/2 cup of your favorite nuts

- Bake for 10mins. Enjoy!

I guess I’d have to attribute my love of woodland gardening to Errol Flynn, the swashbuckling MGM heartthrob of the ’30s, ’40s and ’50s. My mother had a serious crush on the daring star. Whenever one of his movies was on the Late Show, or the Late, Late Show, or the Late, Late, Late Show, my brother and I were permitted—almost forced—to stay up late and watch.
But it was one movie in particular that caught my attention, “The Adventures Of Robin Hood,” from 1938. Even though we were watching a fuzzy picture on a tiny back-and-white set (complete with a set of “Rabbit Ears” festooned with aluminum foil for an antenna), there was something enchanting about Sherwood Forest.
It called out to me.
As soon as I discovered how to use my thumb—the green one—my quest to find my own Sherwood Forest began.
Flash ahead, back to the future, and here I am in my own Sherwood Forest in Greenbrier County WV, an area acclaimed to be one of the most botanically rich areas on Planet Earth.
Even if you’re a “Townie” on a small city lot and don’t have acres to play with, you can still create an “island” of forest to enjoy. All you need is a little shade or dappled sunlight.
Now, you don’t have to be like me, immediately biting off more than you can chew.
Start slow and small and see how easy it is.
Feed the Earth
The first thing you have to evaluate is the quality of your soil. Is it rich with organic matter? Is it rocky and dry? Is it clay? Is it a struggling lawn in the shade? No matter what it is, it’s pretty easy to amend. If there’s not much organic matter in the soil, you can get bales of peat moss at a home and garden store for not much more than $10 each to mix in.
If its clay, you can use a gypsum-based product like “Turface” (brand name), which is only a few dollars a bag. It eats that clay up, then you can add dehydrated cow manure and peat moss for organic matter. If it’s a lawn that you’ve been trying to grow grass on in the shade, tear it up.
If all this sounds like too much work already—fear not. It’s really pretty quick and easy. If you have a small rototiller, that will make your job even easier. I like the Honda FG-110—it’s small. lightweight, and very easy to use. And not to worry if you don’t have a rototiller, as you can cultivate the soil with a digging fork.
Once you’ve prepared your soil, you’ll want to think about your plant palette.
Probably the easiest plants to grow in a woodland shade garden are ferns. In this part of West Virginia, we have many, many species of native ferns. Chances are if you’re a city dweller, you’ve plenty of friends that are more rural than you are. They most likely have acres of ferns in the woods on their farms and surely they’d be happy to share some with you.
Ferns transplant super easily and are perfect for the backbone of your new woodland garden. There are also a plethora of mail-order nurseries that have an incredible palette of ferns to choose from, native and non-native.
Should you be embracing this undertaking on a grand scale, I suggest you consider an inexpensive auger which will fit perfectly on, for instance, a DE Walt 20V, cordless, ½” drill. In good soil, you can drill over 400 holes in an hour. BE FOREWARNED: Hold the drill with both hands for should you encounter a big rock or tree root, it could twist your wrist like a pretzel.
Rocky and Roll
Rocky soil ? No problem! You don’t have to be a stone mason to dry-lay rocks, whether they are round creek rocks or flat, shale-like rocks. Just stack them up! If you’re on sloping land, stack them up on the lower side of your beds—i.e.: the upper side of your pathway as in the picture below.
If you’re working with a small space, you can create your “Fernery” in just about any shape imaginable. Check out the “wedge” of fern varieties in the image below. This bed prominently features, The Maiden Hair Fern (Adiantum pedatum); The Interrupted Fern (Osmunda regalis); The Broad Beech Fern (Phegopteris hexagonoptera); The Sensitive Fern (Onoclea sensibilis), to name a few.
These fern species are all native to Greenbrier County and very easy to grow. With some recycled railroad ties to stabilize a crumbling slope, a little topsoil, and a good mulch, these ferns naturalized themselves pretty quickly on my property. This image is a sort of before-and-after since the right hand side of the road to the barn is about exactly what I started with on the left side—I just haven’t gotten around to that project yet.
There are so many other woodland plants that transplant as easily as ferns do, but with this many words so far, I kinda ran out of space here. So, you’ll have to tune in next time for more.
Till our next horticultural excursion.

The 1955 BelAir was redesigned with a new body, chassis, and suspension, with a bold new grille and stylish side moldings.
The 1955 BelAir was offered in a range of models, including a two-door hardtop, convertible, four-door sedan, and station wagon. The standard engine was a six-cylinder engine, but buyers could also opt for a V8 engine.
The 1955 Chevy BelAir quickly became an icon of American culture and was featured in many films, TV shows, and music videos throughout the years. Its timeless design and appeal continue to attract car enthusiasts today.

Best of 2001
Dorian E. Gray
israfel at eircom.net
Wed Jan 2 13:27:53 EST 2002
Melissa came up with a List...
(I'm gonna play; I love lists, though like Melissa I have difficulty
remembering what I read when.)
> Best Book of the Year: This is usually a book that a) I was unable
> reading until it was finished and b) I could not stop talking about
> people after I'd finished it and c) left me feeling physically and
> emotionally wrung out.
This one has to be "Ash: A Secret History" by Mary Gentle. I came
across it in the library, was attracted by the cover art, and
immediately hooked when I looked inside it and saw how wonderfully it
was presented as a "real but suppressed" book. I love that kind of
thing when it's done well. It's an enormous book, but I just couldn't
stop reading, and bored everyone I know for weeks after I finished it.
It looks like a relatively ordinary high fantasy with the framing
device of letters and e-mails between the author (of the supposed
non-fiction book) and his publisher, but as you go along it becomes
more and more apparent that the framing device is not a device at all,
but an integral part of the story...I don't want to say more because
you all have to read it if you haven't already! But the end just
smacked me in the gut.
> Most Addictive Book: This is a book that I read at least twice in a
> back-to-back, dreamed about, fantasized about, etc.
Probably "Passage" by Connie Willis, which is also a contender for
> Most Unexpected Discovery:
I think this has to be Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" trilogy,
which I heard people raving about on several mailing lists, so picked
up when I saw it in the library - and now own my own set.
> Biggest Disappointment:
This is a tie between "The Sterkarm Handshake" and "I Capture the
Castle". Both came highly recommended, and I really wanted to like
both of them, and both just annoyed me. In the former, the characters
irritated me beyond bearing, and the story just didn't seem to be
going anywhere; I gave up around chapter six. In the latter, I was
unreasonably annoyed by the main character's behaviour in particular,
and thoroughly furious when she went off with what I considered to be
the wrong guy at the end.
> Book I Had the Most Fun Reading:
Another tie here - "Bellwether" by Connie Willis and "The Truth" by
Terry Pratchett. Both books kept me reading with a silly grin on my
> Book I was Angriest about Not Liking:
"A Kiss of Shadows" by Laurell K. Hamilton. I just loved the idea of
elves and such running around the real world, and of an elven princess
in disguise as a PI. But it rapidly degenerated into one kinky sex
scene after another, where I'd been expecting a story, not soft porn.
> Best Sequel:
"Ender's Shadow" by Orson Scott Card. It's not really exactly a
sequel to "Ender's Game", since it covers the same time period and the
same events as the earlier book, just from a different character's
point of view...but I'm going to count it anyway, because it's
wonderful! I almost think I like it better than "Ender's Game".
> Favorite Guilty Pleasure:
"Promises, Promises" by Patricia Scanlan. Ms. Scanlan writes
chick-lit set in Ireland and I always feel I should be reading
something more "worthy", especially since I detest most
chick-lit...but her books are just so much fun, and unlike many in the
genre, are full of very real characters, and tightly plotted.
> Worst Book of 2001:
Another piece of Irish chick-lit: "Three Times a Lady" by Sarah Webb.
Dull characters, trite plot, badly structured, and obviously
completely untouched by the hand of a copy-editor, which might have
averted such foolish mistakes as having a character cross the Atlantic
in a 737!
Until the sky falls on our heads...

JACKSON, Miss. — A tea party-backed lawmaker who lost a hard-fought race against one of Mississippi’s two U.S. senators will announce this week whether he will run against the other senator this year.
Republican Chris McDaniel has said he might challenge Sen. Roger Wicker in the GOP primary.
McDaniel will hold an event Wednesday in his hometown of Ellisville, a day before candidates’ qualifying deadline, to clarify his intentions, Republican strategist Rick Tyler said Monday.
McDaniel, a state senator, never conceded his 2014 Republican primary loss to longtime U.S. Sen. Thad Cochran. The race grabbed national attention after a McDaniel supporter entered a nursing home without permission and photographed Cochran’s wife, who was bedridden with dementia. Images of her appeared briefly online. McDaniel said he had no connection to the incident.
Tyler said he is “helping” McDaniel, although McDaniel “doesn’t have a campaign.”
“He’s a state senator and he’s got a political career and I do political advising, guide people through decisions,” Tyler told The Associated Press. “He’s a pretty smart guy.”
McDaniel did not immediately return phone calls Monday.
Tyler was a spokesman for the 2016 presidential campaign of Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. McDaniel campaigned for Cruz.
McDaniel, 45, told The Associated Press on Thursday that he is considering three races: U.S. Senate this year, lieutenant governor in 2019 or U.S. Senate in 2020.
McDaniel began trying to unseat Cochran during the autumn of 2013, about eight months before the 2014 primary. He acknowledged that he would be getting a much later start if he enters this year’s Senate race against Wicker. But McDaniel also said he has about 6,000 volunteers ready to start working statewide, no matter which race he enters — a network he lacked at the start of the last race.
Wicker has been in the Senate since late 2007. In 2016 he led the National Republican Senatorial Committee, which raised money for candidates nationwide. He had more than $4.1 million in his campaign account at the end of 2017, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Wicker has received $5,400 from Vice-President Mike Pence’s political action committee, Great America Committee. He was endorsed last week by former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum, who rallied social conservatives when he ran for president in 2012 and 2016. Wicker has also announced that he is supported by 68 local leaders in Mississippi of President Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign.
Steve Bannon, a former adviser to Trump, had been urging McDaniel to run against Wicker this year. Bannon’s involvement faded after he ran a losing campaign for Republican Roy Moore in a special U.S. Senate election in Alabama in late 2017.
No Democrat had entered the Senate race in Mississippi by Friday, state party chairman Bobby Moak said. The state has not had a Democrat in the U.S. Senate since John C. Stennis retired in 1989.
