Amazon.com: Books: Reluctant Saint: The Life of Francis of Assisi (#)

„He raises, for example, questions about whether Francis actually bore the stigmata, or wounds of the crucified Christ, pointing out that sources interviewed for Francis's canonization denied that he had the marks. Spoto suggests that Francis may actually have suffered from leprosy and that his companions interpreted those wounds as a sharing in Christ's suffering. Spoto's chronological recounting of Francis's life is sufficiently engaging to retain the interest even of those familiar with the basic facts of the saint's story. Occasionally however, he lapses into seemingly misplaced preaching pedagogy, such as when he holds forth on the subject of conversion in a section about Francis's spiritual transformation- but given the saint's diverse appeal, this book should interest a wide audience.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.“

Tea & Coffee 11/02 - Herbal and Flavored Tea Invasion (#)

„of Simpson and Vail confirms the importance of proper storage, “If not stored properly (in the dark, airtight containers, cool place) the flavor dissipates over time.” This is not to say that herbals have no shelf life, “Normally, all or most flavors do last for 18 months without much degradation in the quality of flavor,” observes Santanu Acharya of Premier’s Tea India Ltd. Francis Aviani of Numi Tea agrees, “As a product of nature, any plant form and essence will be broken down over time. However, if sealed in a tight, darkened container, it can maintain its freshness for more than 18 months. However, the real reason for the flavor breakdown of most herbs in teabags is that they are the cheapest and lowest grade part of the herb (the stalk, flowers, or roots, depending on which part of the herb is at the lowest premium.) Then flavored oils are added with the “flavored essence” that the herb should have to begin with.“

Amazon.com: Books: The Criminality of Nuclear Deterrence (#)

„The Clinton Administration’s Presidential Decision Directive 60 asserted a U.S. right to target non-nuclear states with nuclear weapons in 1997. But PDD60, as well as nuclear deterrence as a whole -- both the use and threatened use of nuclear weapons -- is illegal under the international law of warfare.In fact, Francis A. Boyle argues in The Criminality of Nuclear Deterrence, the Bush administration’s toying with the use of tactical nuclear weapons in Afghanistan, its intent to proceed with National Missile Defense, to renew nuclear testing and develop "bunker-busting" nuclear weapons will have disastrous impact on existing international efforts to rein in the global nuclear arms race through the Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty, and the Nuclear Non-proliferation Treaty. Already, the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty has fallen before its scythe.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„Since the sixties, San Francisco has been a bastion of left-wing politics, anti-establishment thinking and liberalism. Starbucks has gained a reputation as the antithesis of that San Francisco mindset. So it should come as no surprise that 17 Starbucks retail outlets in San Francisco’s financial district were vandalized with spray-paint and signs declaring the shops were out of business. At some stores, vandals went so far as to spray a cloudy substance over the windows indicating abandonment, and to hang “For Lease” signs expounding on corporate layoffs and downsizing efforts.“

We also meet Brothers Berry and Allan who invite us to Saint Francis’ Table, a restaurant dedicated to providing dignity to the homeless of Toronto. Sister Pacelli takes us through a Poor Clare’s monastery where the sisters sing their beautiful prayers. These believers express their need, as disciples of Saint Francis, to uphold his legacy and continue his mission to aid the impoverished and needy.“

I have read the online praise and criticism of Gaggia machines, and find it amazing that even those who have had to replace a pump, or after time upgrade to more expensive machines, still say that the Gaggia was solid and made great espresso! While people rate the Classic and Baby higher numerically, the descriptive praise for the Espresso and Coffee seem more glowing!“

Tea & Coffee 03/03 - Bringing Healthcare to Female Coffee Farmers (#)

„The organization was established in 1996 when Dan Cox, president of Coffee Enterprises in Burlington, Vermont, and Dr. Francis Fote realized that cervical cancer is among the leading causes of death among women in Mexico. Even though cervical cancer is one of the easiest forms of cancer to treat if detected early, cancer screenings were very minimally available in these areas and, where available, of extremely poor quality. Witnessing such conditions, Cox established Grounds for Health (GFH) as a means of providing sustainable and effective cervical-uterine cancer screening programs in these regions.“

Coppola called on longtime collaborators, cinematographer Vittorio Storaro and designer Dean Tavoularis to help him create this visually rich mini-movie. Shot in Ostia, outside of Rome, the story is a blend of reality and fantasy, which brings out the role of the Italian barista and the espresso bar proving that ordinary days can have extraordinary moments.“

The X1 was uber-cool, but had a big problem - the first versions couldn't make a very good espresso.“

„Francis Bacon was born into a position of great privilege, the sixth son of Sir Nicholas Bacon, Keeper of the Great Seal for Elizabeth I. He studied to become a lawyer at Gray's Inn from 1579 to 1582, and it was soon apparent that he had a brilliant legal mind. Yet he remained unpopular with Elizabeth, and it was only on the accession of James I in 1603 that his career started to move in the right direction.“

The first was by one of Galton's early disciples, Karl Pearson, and is a monumental work of four volumes that has been a veritable mine of information about Galton for all subsequent writers. Unfortunately, the man himself seems to get buried in a mass of detail, letters, tables, figures, and extracts.“
