Lakshmi Health Store, San Miguel de Allende
Your one-stop health home
Reviewed by Nancy Snipper
Lackshmi is the Indian God of body and health. This remarkable store is
aptly named, for it contains a myriad of organic products to promote your
well-being from the inside out.
Silvia Carranza who owns this
unique one-stop “hospital of health”, cares about your needs, and most
importantly, guides you to the right products – all natural and notably
effective. I took the collagen/botox cream along with an anti-inflammation under-the-eye
gel. The cream for my body worked like a tonic for dry skin; I also snagged
that one.
But Lakshmi also provides a full gamut of hands-on therapies: Reiki,
massage biomagnetitism – to name a few, plus there is a homeopathic doctor you
can consult with along with a nutritionist. This unique place offers so many
health assets, aside from pills, herbs and organic edibles. There is even at-home
night care service. How wonderful is that?!

Nicolas Boukhrief’s “Inside the Cell”
“Made in France” de Nicolas
Boukhrief
The line between reality and
fiction is completely eliminated in this frighteningly nightmarish film. The
filmmaker has successfully tapped into modern day phobias.
La ligne entre la réalité et la fiction est complètement éliminée dans ce film terriblement cauchemardesque. Le cinéaste a puisé avec succès dans les phobies modernes.

Editorial comment in light of recent
terrorist attacks – specifically those in Paris on Friday evening November 13
2015:
 |
| Paris Attacks Nov 13 |
This powerfully
relevant and unnerving film was completed before the Charlie Hebdo attack of
January 7 2015. Because of this incident, the original distributor, SND pulled
out. While the events prompted SND to opt out, Pretty Pictures stepped in and
played up the comparisons to reality. Since then it has only been screened at
Busan Film Festival (Busan, South Korea, October 1-10, 2015), Festival du
Nouveau Cinema (Montreal, Canada, October 7-18, 2015) and Tallinn Black Nights
Film Festival (Talinn, Estonia, November 13-29, 2015). The film was set to open
in French theatres on Wednesday, November 18th. Due to the tragic
Paris attacks of November 13th, whereby a coordinated series of
terrorist acts killed at least 130 people, the film’s opening was postponed
until a later date. Updates will follow when available.
Commentaire éditorial à la lumière des récentes attaques
terroristes – en particulier ceux
de Paris le Vendredi soir, le 13
Novembre 2015:
 |
| Charlie Hebdo Crime Scene |
Ce
film puissamment
pertinente et énervant a été achevée avant l'attaque Charlie Hebdo, du 7 Janvier 2015. En raison de cet
incident, le distributeur original,
SND Distribution sorti. Bien que les événements ont incité
SND se retire, Pretty
Pictures sont intervenus et ont
joué sur les comparaisons à la réalité. Depuis lors, il a seulement été présenter au Festival du film
de Busan (Busan, Corée du Sud, du
1 au 10 Octobre, 2015), le Festival du Nouveau Cinéma (Montréal, Canada, du 7 au 18 Octobre, 2015) et le Festival du
film des Nuits Noires de Tallinn (Tallinn, Estonie, du 13 au 29 Novembre,
2015). Le film a
été du à sorti dans les salles Françaises
le Mercredi 18 Novembre.
En raison des attentats tragiques de
Paris du 13 Novembre, dans lequel une série d'actes
terroristes coordonnée qui ont
tué au moins 130 personnes, la
sortie du film a été reportée à
une date ultérieure. Les mises à
jour seront affichées lorsqu'ils seront disponibles.
Scenario
of film:
This movie takes us
into the heart of the extremist terrorist cells responsible. Sam, a journalist,
uses his Muslim background to infiltrate fundamentalist circles on the
outskirts of Paris. He wants to write an article on jihadist extremism. He
earns the trust of four young men who are waiting for their leader, Hassan, to
return from a stint in a ‘training camp’ in Pakistan. When Hassan returns, he
states that they need to ‘declare war’ on the non-Muslim world. They begin
preparations with a total disregard for the laws of the land. Sam goes to the
police with the information. They force him to go undercover to find out who is
actually giving the orders. This puts not only himself in grave danger but also
his wife and son.
Scénario du film:
Sam, un journaliste, utilise son milieu Musulmane pour infiltrer les cercles fondamentalistes à la périphérie de Paris. Il veut écrire
un article sur l'extrémisme djihadiste.
Il gagne la confiance de quatre jeunes hommes qui attendent leur chef, Hassan, pour
revenir après un séjour dans un «camp
d'entraînement» au Pakistan. Lorsqu’Hassan
retourne, il affirme qu'ils ont besoin de «déclarer la
guerre» sur le monde non-Musulman.
Ils commencent préparations avec un mépris total pour les lois de la société. Sam va à la police avec
l'information. Ils l'obligent à aller
en secret pour savoir qui est
celui qui réellement a donnait les ordres. Cela met non seulement lui-même
en danger, mais aussi sa femme et son fils.
What is a
MARTYR?
Noun:
1. a person who
willingly suffers death rather than renounce his or her religion.
2. a person who
is put to death or endures great suffering on behalf of any belief, principle, or
cause: a martyr to the cause of social justice.
3. a person who
undergoes severe or constant suffering: a
martyr to severe headaches.
4. a person who
seeks sympathy or attention by feigning or exaggerating pain, deprivation, etc.
verb (used with object):
5. to make a martyr
of, especially by putting to death.
6. to torment or
torture.
Comments: Which of the above (or French definition below)
would justify calling a SUICIDE BOMBER a MARTYR? How are the victims of such
attacks FORCING the bomber to renounce his religious principles; i.e. how is
MURDERING others going to achieve salvation? Why are most suicide bombers young
and thus have their whole lives ahead of them? If they continued to live can
they not learn to bring about greater good by HELPING the unenlightened rather
than killing them? VIOLENCE CAN NEVER LEAD TO RIGHTEOUSNESS – IT CAN ONLY BREED
MORE. Last question: why do we never see the leaders of those groups (example
ISIS, White Supremacy, etcetera) who preach this concept of committing suicide;
killing innocent victims; engendering fear, hatred and intolerance take part in
these attacks. In my opinion they are the hateful cowards, the murderers and
thieves killing innocence and robbing many of achieving their full potential.
Personne qui a souffert la
mort pour sa foi religieuse, pour une cause à laquelle elle se sacrifie : Les martyrs de la Résistance.
Chrétien mis à mort ou
torturé en témoignage de sa foi. (On l'appelait aussi martyr de la foi ou
confesseur (de la foi].)
Commentaires : Laquelle des définitions ci-dessus (Anglais ou Français) justifieraient appelant un KAMIKAZE un
MARTYR? Comment sont les victimes de ces attaques forçant le bombardier
de renoncer à ses principes religieux;
c’est a dire comment que le meurtre d'autres va
obtenir le salut? Pourquoi la plupart
des kamikazes sont jeunes et ont donc toute leur vie
devant eux? Si ils ont continué
à vivre ne peuvent-ils apprendre à apporter plus de bien en secourant les non avertis, plutôt que de les tuer? LA VIOLENCE NE PEUT JAMAIS CONDUIRE À LA
JUSTICE – IL PEUT SEULEMENT QU'ENGENDRER PLUS. Une dernière question: pourquoi que nous
voyons jamais les dirigeants de ces
groupes (par exemple ISIS, la Suprématie Blanche, etc.) qui prêchent
ce concept de se suicider; tuer des victimes innocentes; engendrant la peur, la haine et l'intolérance, prennent part à ces attaques. À mon avis,
ils sont les lâches haineuses, les assassins
et les voleurs qui tue l’innocence et privant un grand nombre de réaliser leur plein potentiel.
La Floret
The
Flower Shop with the Loveliest Flowers and Owner
Reviewed by Nancy Snipper
When I moved to Verdun,
something drew me into La Floret. As soon as I walked in, a splendid array of
flowers greeted my senses, and along with this, the winning sweet smile of the
store’s owner, Antonia. No hard sell with her; she just oozes sublime
gentleness and humility.
Antonia has a Greek background, and as we all know, the Greeks are known
for their generosity and hospitality. Every time I need a flower boost and a
chance to feel happy by chatting with her, I always go to la Floret.
I end up walking out with my favourite flower: Casablanca lilies, and her prices are a
steal.
Antonia donated heaps of bouquets and arrangements to the launch of my
poetry/short story book, Beyond the
Dream, Epic Solitude (see SMR
Culture Plus). I honestly think it was her spirit of giving and the floral arrangements
she made for the event helped get my book off the ground and into dream land.
Immerse yourself in the calming atmosphere of La Floret, meet Antonia
and take time to smell the flowers. I am sure, you will not walk out of there
empty handed.
She can handle any occasion: weddings, graduation, birthdays and more.

MMM… Muthins!
Eating
my favourite muffin and feeling thin
by Nancy Snipper
The other day I was at the Monkland Street Fair in Montreal where a ton
of activities were going on, including tastings of new products.
I indulged
myself, but there was one foodie that I can’t forget: Muthins.
 |
| Ali (left) and Nancy (right) at the Monkland Street Fair |
It’s a muffin that is so tasty and yet is only 90 calories.
Everything inside is natural too. Of course, it is. That’s because the recipe goes
back to 1985, and Ali Beloff, who has just started the company told me her mom
is a nutritionist, and her inspiration to get these wonderful 100% all-natural
bran muffins into everyone’s diet. There are seven different kinds and each one
is as tasty as the next. I loved the lemon poppy seed one and the raisin. I can
hardly wait to go back and purchase the other fruit flavours. Nothing was dry
in texture!
I was so curious about this MUthin magnificent muffin, I asked Ali to
tell me all about this muffin and why it is so different than those other
health ones. Here’s what she said:
“What makes MUthins different
than all the other healthy "muffin men”? Well first off, we’re muffin
women, but more importantly, ours don’t taste like saw dust – they’re actually
quite moist! Our secret recipe is a derivative of our mother’s, Leslie Beloff – a certified nutritionist – thus adding an
element of authenticity to everything that we do.
 |
| Lesley (left), Ali (right) |
Our flavours include: carrot,
raisin, banana, chocolate-chip, lemon-poppy seed, apple-cinnamon and blueberry!
With a MUthin in hand, you know you’re snacking the healthy way. Our mission is
to help our community attain and maintain healthier lifestyles, one MUthin at a
time”.
The MUthin Muffin story –
a real girlie one
I asked her how it got
started. Here is her “big MUthin reveal”.
“Growing up in the Beloff household, the promotion of health, nutrition and the appreciation for local, fresh whole foods was always at the forefront”. Ali said that all of these essential values were instilled by founders, Chelsea and Ali’s mother, Leslie Beloff – the original MUthin women.
“Studying nutrition at McGill
in her early 20’s and graduating as a certified nutritionist, our mom
recognized the high need and empty gap in the Montreal food market for healthy snacking.
Starting in 1985, she began her very own health muffin company with a line of
ground-breaking 56-calorie muffins.”
In 2011, Chelsea and Ali,
along with a best friend, Jennifer, revamped their mother’s recipe – adding
a few more calories with a whole-lot more flavor.
And thus, the MUthin was
born!
Keeping her mother’s values
dear to her heart, Ali grabbed the steering wheel in the MUthins kitchen in
2015, with an everlasting urge to innovate with new MUthin flavours, shapes and
derivatives to accommodate her community’s wants and needs.
Muthins is currently
distributing to local health food stores, grocery stores, gyms, cafés, fitness
centers, business offices and homes all across Montreal
and the greater Quebec
area.
Visit: www.muthins.ca. You can order your favorite
muffin off the website. They come in a six-pack or are individually wrapped for
on-the-go gals.
Wholesalers welcome!
