Oakdale, CA
Fri., Feb. 1 was the last day for employees and chocolate at the Hershey plant in Oakdale, CA which opened in 1965. Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were the last product to be produced.
Employees got their severance packages and are ending 20-50 years of service to Hershey’s. 85 employees will continue for another 2 weeks, cleaning and removing equipment.
Hershey closed the Oakdale plant, along with five others in the United States and Canada, as part of a restructuring plan to shift some chocolate production to a new facility in Monterrey, Mexico. The candy maker cut about 3,300 jobs from its North American work force.

Love: Chocolate Style
A study in the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,” indicated that adding half an ounce of dark chocolate or four and one-half tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder to an average American diet increases antioxidant about 4 percent. Chocolate can also temper the harmful effects of the bad LDL cholesterol, according to the report.
Chocolate contains some of the health-promoting phytochemicals that vegetables and fruit do, but that doesn’t mean its part of this “five-a-day” food group. Small amounts of chocolate may offer enough phytochemicals to make a difference, but they certainly won’t satisfy hunger very well.
Bottom line: Enjoy chocolate in small portions without guilt. Two or three small dark chocolate candies, eaten slowly and savored, will add a smaller calorie and fat load than a small plate of cookies or a bag of chips.

Breguet watches fashion news
Breguet watches are amongst the most beautiful and luxurious watches in the world. Breguet watches are real great. But the price is so high. There are many replica breguet watches in the market. Why so many breguet replica watches in the market? Because the breguet brand is one of the oldest watch brand.
The history of horology in the 18th century would not be complete without the probably greatest genius of watchmaking that ever lived, Abraham Louis Breguet.
If Breguet holds a special place in our cultural heritage, it is because its founder, A.-L. Breguet (1747-1823), set the standard by which all fine watchmaking has since been judged. Today, his heirs at Breguet still make each watch as a model of supreme horological art.
A.-L. Breguet was born in Neuchâtel, but it was in Paris that he spent most of his productive life. No aspect of watchmaking escaped his study, and his inventions were as fundamental to horology as they were varied.
His career started with a series of breakthroughs: the development of the successful self-winding perpétuelle watches, the introduction of the gongs for repeating watches and the first shock-protection for balance pivots.
Louis XVI and his Queen, Marie-Antoinette, were early enthusiasts of Breguet’s watchmaking. Each watch from his workshops demonstrated the latest horological improvements in an original movement, mostly fitted with lever or ruby-cylinder escapements that he perfected.
A.-L. Breguet took refuge in Switzerland from the excesses of the French Revolution. He returned to Paris overflowing with the ideas that produced the Breguet balance-spring, his first carriage clock (sold to Bonaparte), the sympathique clock and its dependent watch, the tact watch, and finally
