Devouring sweets is tradition all through the holiday season. Rather than eat refined white sugar or high fructose corn syrup, why not try some favorite holiday treats made with natural sweeteners, such as unrefined cane sugar, honey, maple syrup, and agave?

I’ve found that these sweeteners taste even better than sugar or corn syrup.

Here’s a basic recipe for a shortbread butter cookie that can me made into many variations. I have successfully made these using

* unrefined cane sugar (such as Sucanat or Rapadura) — this is like brown sugar

* powdered unrefined cane sugar (sold as “organic” powedered sugar — this is like white sugar

* agave nectar — a good low-glycemic option

* rice syrup — a personal favorite, subtly sweet with no extra flavor

SHORTBREAD BUTTER COOKIES

makes about 2 dozen 1-inch square cookies

3/4 cup butter, softened

1/4 cup sweetener

3/4 teaspoon vanilla

1 2/3 cups whole wheat pastry flour

small pinch of salt

1. Put butter out to soften. This could take 20-30 minutes.

2. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.

3. In a mixing bowl, with a hand mixer, beat the soft butter until fluffy. This step is important to make the cookies light and crispy.

4. Add sweetener and vanilla and continue to beat until both are incorporated.

5. Add flour and salt slowly, mixing until a stiff batter is formed.

6. Put parchment paper or a silpat on the cookie sheet.

7. Flavor and cut as desired.

8. CHILL before baking. Cover the shortbread tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least two hours or up to 4 days. If you don’t chill, the shortbread will spread.

9. Bake for 20-30 minutes, or until lightly browned just around the edges. Thicker cookies need a little more time, very thin cookies need less.

10. Remove the cookies to cooling racks.

VARIATIONS:

* Roll out dough and use to make cutout cookies

* Add any extract and bits of nuts, citrus peel, dried fruits, coconut, chocolate chips

* Top with spices such as cinnamon sugar

* Sandwich any plain or flavored cookies together with fruit-sweetened jam, flavored cream cheese, nut butters…

Because of the internet, it has been easy to conduct such search. Internet has been a good source of information. You can visit different websites wherein you can retrieve all the criminal records pertain to the person on check. In every background search that is, being conducted there must be sufficient information to make this background search successful. And we all know that how important to have information about a certain applicant. Through the use of the internet, you can save much of your time.

And after of the long wait for the approval you have to dig mountains of records in order to obtain that important information. This will consume much of your time.

Your money is worth paying with this reputable websites because of the information that you can get from them.

LED might be the lighting buzzword of the moment, but LEDs aren’t exactly new, you will find LEDs in the digital clock on your microwave, in your television remote control, in your alarm clock, they are, in fact, everywhere. What is new(ish) is the technology that allows LEDs to be used for domestic and garden lighting.

An LED is a light emitting diode, which is a solid state conductor, working on the attraction of opposites. Two materials are placed either side of a chemical, one of the materials is electron rich and the other is short of electrons; when power is supplied, the material that needs electrons takes them from the electron rich material, and then there was light! The composition of the chemical in between the two materials determines the colour of the light emitted.

LED lighting, and that includes LED garden lighting, beats other sources of artificial light hands down, and here’s why:

• LEDs do not contain mercury
• LEDs have an extremely long life (11 years at 12 hours per day)
• LEDs cost 80% less to run than other light sources
• LEDs are cool to the touch and, therefore, safer at low levels
• LEDs do not present a fire risk, because they are cool to the touch
• LEDs produce coloured light without the use of a filter
• LEDs produce directional light, it goes where you need it and nowhere else

What more evidence do you need, coloured lights with a long life that won’t burn little fingers and that don’t cost the earth or a fortune to run, LED garden lighting is the only sensible choice.

When it comes to all the different facets of nature, if you’ve seen it or hear about it, it probably has a magical background. Plants, animals, the minerals lying around us, as well as the celestial and all their phases, all have their place in the world of magick and the divine. Amongst all these things, we have the little acorn. They come in all sort of varieties and are tiny little things, but regardless of their size, when it comes to the world of natural magick, the end results amount to some pretty big stuff.

The acorn can be planted and over the decades, mature into a mighty oak, producing hundreds more little acorns. This is a slow and drawn out process ( Which is why the acorn is a symbol of patience, amongst other things ), but it is a form of natural magick involving the acorn. The itchy trigger-fingered amongst us who are reading this article and saying, “decades, I was kind of hoping for something within my lifetime,” need not worry.

For the less patient, the acorn is believed to have some immediate properties of gratification and aid. The power to sway boons like good luck, youthfulness, and fertility in ones favor are some of the many powers the acorn is believed to possess. In Europe, there is a traditional belief that carrying acorns around in your pocket will bring youthfulness and good luck. It is also believed that they can be used to divine doomed or everlasting love between a couple.

To test the bonds of love, a girl might place two acorns in a bowl of water, under the light of a full moon, several inches apart. If they floated towards one another, it was a sign of everlasting love. If they floated in place, that person would need to wait ’til the next full moon and try again. If they were to, I don’t know, I guess float apart, one or both sink like rocks, or spontaneously combust, then it was time to find another guy or for the stubborn, an acorn that tells you what you want to hear.

A male seeking greater fertility might gain favor with the lesser god, Priapus, by offering a harvest of acorns. In Scandinavia, acorns were placed on window sills to appease the thunder god Thor and protect buildings from the catastrophe of lightning strikes. Some curtain makers give a nod to this age old belief by adding wooden acorns as tassels. Along with being a charm for every day use, the acorn holds spots in ceremony and rituals.

Celtic Druids ate acorns to prepare for their diving of the future. In North America, native Americans, such as the Hupa and Yuki tribe, who were based in what is now California, not only considered them as a principle staple for their diets, but also prepared and ate them in a ritualistic manner while praying to the gods of vegetation for a good harvest, during their harvest festivals. Acorns must have possessed a strong magick ( psychological or otherwise ) to have permeated regions and cultures all across the globe and to this day, still be recognized for what they are. Looks like I found an exception to one of my previous articles. Time doesn’t always skew things beyond total recognition.
