affinia tourers reintroduced it there about 30 years ago. i'm still passionate about it because we're always out in nature always in an element that is constantly changing because the snow is never the same and it can be hard or soft or like powder it could be the snow of springtime it's always a different experience. jack off in the french alps near the resort of liaison he saw reviving the sport here as a way of combining 2 passions. i got in the city because i was working for 10 years on ski patrols that monitor the trails and avalanches and take care of those who were hurt if. you don't the same time i had an equestrian center and my horses had nothing to keep them busy during the winter. so i said i needed to find a way to combine 2 things i love. skiing and horses.

does require some skill participants don't have to have much knowledge of horse riding because the animals respond to basic commands through the reins but writers do have to have a certain level of skiing experience. as long as they can ski people of all ages can take part. and watch the horse. watch the horse watch the horse that's a very good sit perfectly very good. ski touring comes from the norwegian term for ski driving its original purpose was to. transport goods today it's also a competitive sport disco so what did you feel while. freedom in the nature of the snow everywhere and silence the great experience really awesome. and

the rings controlled by the handles stay stuff will. kid huling the thing about this sport that motivates me is the feeling of freedom all the time it's really a grand feeling of freedom or a sense that the horse isn't imprisoned he's not constrained but you are letting it follow its natural behavior and you become one with him as you glide behind him. that's something you only experience when ski joran has to do. things to shock and his horses tourists have yet another way to enjoy the great outdoors in france. valentine's day is coming once again and because my husband is such a hopeless romantic he sent me all these presents in the studio well actually

the entire process using new colors. the end result is always unique. this is quite different from the machine printed paper which is largely taken over here at the ross the paper making factory the company also specializes in foreign team designs but they've been using machines to print their paper since 1931. in this factory we agree there with old machines as well. using old machine since last century but the renew it with the new technologies these printing machine can produce 20001500 sheets our. the process wasn't always so fast this is

have originated in japan around the 12th century it came to europe during the 16th and 17th centuries and was used for important documents as a way of preventing forgeries and the ratio to doing it popular. it's a gift people are looking for something that it's handmade and it's unique it's just one of a kind and they can have a spirit known for you know colors or do uniqueness of a piece of paper. the techniques for making decorative florentine paper may continue to evolve but the patterns remain steeped in history and tradition. after just on rep one of the presidents and found some tasty prayer lines we don't know who invented some say it was a german chef back in the 17th century others believe it was a pharmacist draw your house from belgium legends as he was trying to find

when you fall in love with somebody you never know why never from the moment i've learned tried chocolate i decided to make some myself because it was love at 1st sight. just see for they had to they got on their chocolates here i make railings every day and i make chocolate every day and i eat it every day and i love it so. it's chocolate is very simple it's not complicated there are 2 or 3 ingredients cocoa mass for dark chocolate with some cocoa butter and sugar. and you see. the way that up but what you see here is pistachio mars a panel that has all. the cell artisans like us have 2 main techniques for making the green lanes. no no buzz. we 1st do the filling.

and then cut it and finally we surround it with chocolate and that's the coating. so. i'm decorating it with a fork. it's a little it's a very traditional way of decorating push it it is over 100 years old. the 2nd step is the molding that you take some chocolate with or without coloring you temper it and then you put it in a spray gun and apply it to them you want to make this give shine and color. just didn't push the fine layer of chocolate here is very important so it can't be too thick or too thin says if it suits and it breaks if it's too thick it's

unpleasant. and then from the home theater we're filling the molds with caramel salted caramel and that's done with a machine that machine the whole piece it fills the mold to about 90 percent to leave a bit of space solar more porous in finally the chocolate so but not too much the most is when you heat up railing it's essential not to have too much empty space when biting into a seat it has to be a small a small civil. suit here. is that we have 70 different kinds of very light unit. as i will see for aliens with a zone that was the most freshman or time. for this we also use a lot of spices such as a cardamom. star a nice or tumeric. mole to be honest i've been eating a box of crayons a day forever to fuel. this here is liquid caramel. and.

more loss of form to stick the skin it tastes wonderful because you have the crunchiness of the chocolate. and then you have the tasty filling which fills your mouth a little busy a lot of booze and then you have the freshness of the raspberries. so. you have to find peace it's like smoking a good cigars i know that's not good but you have to take time to smoke a good cigar you have to enjoy it otherwise it's not worth that. amount of popular valentine's day gift per few but finding the right one to suit your personal taste is not always easy anyone looking beyond mass produced

fungal but most funky don't actually produce mushrooms and the ones that do produce mushrooms to spread their spores some mushrooms are a kind of fruit in fact fun guy are everywhere in the ground in the air in our bodies and they are indispensable for all forms of life in fact they make life possible on this planet but how do they live exactly the most fun to live most of their lives as mycelium which is the name given to branching fusing networks of jupiter so us which is how funky feed my celia can be microscopic existing only a tiny mole fun guy on specks of dust but they can also be huge one of the world's largest organisms is a network of my celia over 2000 years old in oregon in the united states it covers an area of more than 9 square kilometers 33 year old sheldrake says fun guy can change our minds and shape our futures in his book titled entangled life fun guy
