LCROSS Confirms Water on the Moon
NASA's LCROSS Impacts Confirm Water in Lunar Crater
The LCROSS spacecraft and a companion rocket stage made twin impacts in the Cabeus crater Oct. 9 that created a plume of material from the bottom of a crater that has not seen sunlight in billions of years. The plume traveled at a high angle beyond the rim of Cabeus and into sunlight, while an additional curtain of debris was ejected more laterally.
"We're unlocking the mysteries of our nearest neighbor and, by extension, the solar system," said Michael Wargo, chief lunar scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. "The Moon harbors many secrets, and LCROSS has added a new layer to our understanding."
Scientists long have speculated about the source of significant quantities of hydrogen that have been observed at the lunar poles. The LCROSS findings are shedding new light on the question with the discovery of water, which could be more widespread and in greater quantity than previously suspected. If the water that was formed or deposited is billions of years old, these polar cold traps could hold a key to the history and evolution of the solar system, much as an ice core sample taken on Earth reveals ancient data. In addition, water and other compounds represent potential resources that could sustain future lunar exploration.
"We are ecstatic," said Anthony Colaprete, LCROSS project scientist and principal investigator at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif. "Multiple lines of evidence show water was present in both the high angle vapor plume and the ejecta curtain created by the LCROSS Centaur impact. The concentration and distribution of water and other substances requires further analysis, but it is safe to say Cabeus holds water."
The team took the known near-infrared spectral signatures of water and other materials and compared them to the impact spectra the LCROSS near infrared spectrometer collected.
"We were able to match the spectra from LCROSS data only when we inserted the spectra for water," Colaprete said. "No other reasonable combination of other compounds that we tried matched the observations. The possibility of contamination from the Centaur also was ruled out."
Additional confirmation came from an emission in the ultraviolet spectrum that was attributed to hydroxyl, one product from the break-up of water by sunlight. When atoms and molecules are excited, they release energy at specific wavelengths that can be detected by the spectrometers. A similar process is used in neon signs. When electrified, a specific gas will produce a distinct color. Just after impact, the LCROSS ultraviolet visible spectrometer detected hydroxyl signatures that are consistent with a water vapor cloud in sunlight.
LCROSS was launched June 18 from NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida as a companion mission to the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, or LRO. Moving at a speed of more than 1.5 miles per second, the spent upper stage of its launch vehicle hit the lunar surface shortly after 4:31 a.m. PDT Oct. 9, creating an impact that instruments aboard LCROSS observed for approximately four minutes. LCROSS then impacted the surface at approximately 4:36 a.m.
LRO observed the impact and continues to pass over the site to give the LCROSS team additional insight into the mechanics of the impact and its resulting craters. The LCROSS science team is working closely with scientists from LRO and other observatories that viewed the impact to analyze and understand the full scope of the LCROSS data.

On the 11th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, people are still flying with a certain amount of fear, though those fears have diminished with time.
"(Every) time that you take a plane, the first thing to come to your mind is, 'Are we going to be next?'" said Gina Seppie, as she waited to board a flight at San Antonio International Airport on Tuesday.
But Jose Zamarippa was less concerned.
"In terms of flying, I feel safe," he said.
At the airport on Tuesday afternoon, the mood was more sentimental, as many airlines decorated their counters with American flags.
As for the airport itself, spokesman Rich Johnson said, "It's business as usual."

Published on January 22 2013 3:31 pm
Effingham Unit 40's Mentoring Program is in its 13 year, and Kim Varner has been there through them all. There when the program started, Varner says that the program, which started at Central School, expanded to the Junior High, and now to EHS, helps at least 120 kids each year, (likely 140-150 this year) with students meeting with Mentors as early as 3rd grade.
She'll have the opportunity to share the program's achievements during a national forum this week in Washington D.C., at the 2013 National Mentoring Summit. Kim, along with Kathy Nava-Sifuentes, will be presenters this Thursday during the summit.
Below is video from Kim's appearance on The Morning Show, where she also talks about how people can get involved in the mentoring program.

The first nine penalties in the shoot-out at the end of 120 minutes in Prague were all scored before Romelu Lukaku's was saved, denying Chelsea a trophy we had been seconds away from winning.
Fernando Torres gave the Blues an early lead in normal time which was lost even earlier in the second half to a Franck Ribery goal.
After a good counter-attacking display by Jose Mourinho's men, the tide was turning in Bayern Munich's favour, especially when Ramires was sent-off shortly before the end of normal time, but Chelsea, who had earlier hit woodwork, responded splendidly in extra time with Eden Hazard cracking in the second goal.
German chances came and went before, with a minute to the end of the match already indicated, one more dropped their way and Javi Martinez took it. The pain of victory snatched away was only compound by what was to follow from the spot kicks, but there was still plenty to value in the performance.
Team News
David Luiz was available for the first time this season and went straight into the team with John Terry making way.
Andre Schurrle kept his place but this time operated as a wide player with Fernando Torres returning up front. Oscar again played in the no.10 role with Eden Hazard starting on the left.
There was no Bastian Schweinsteiger for Bayern Munich, he has an ankle injury, and Javi Martinez was not fit to start so they switched from the 4-1-4-1 formation preferred by Pep Guardiola this season to match Chelsea's 4-2-3-1.
Phillipp Lahm moved from full-back to play as one of the deeper midfielders with Toni Kroos dropping back to be the other. Mario Gotze, signed in the summer from Borussia Dortmund, was among the subs so Thomas Muller was in the no. 10 role with Arjen Robben and Franck Ribery the wingers.
First half
A meeting between the current European champions and the previous holders of the title, alongside other sub-plots not least of which was the re-match of 2012, gave this showpiece match added spice in the build-up to kick-off. The centre of the picture postcard city of Prague had been buzzing with fans from England, Germany and elsewhere since the morning. The Chelsea allocation of 5,000 tickets had all been taken.
Both teams brought the respective European silverware they won last season out onto the pitch to place on stands either side of the Super Cup. The handshakes followed, the trophies were removed and then it was time for the real action.
Mario Mandzukic planted an early far-post header wide and the same Bayern player had an early tangle with David Luiz which prompted the Swedish referee to speak to both.
The Blues backline was stretched on six minutes when Bayern switched play quickly but Ribery made a hash of his delivery into the area.
It was in stark contrast to the ball Schurrle supplied to Torres to score just a minute later. Hazard, at his very best, cruised through the centre of the Bavarian team and slipped the ball wide to our own German. The ball was pulled back to where Torres cleanly volleyed just above the turf and gave Neuer no chance from 15 yards out.
It was the first goal by a Chelsea striker this season and the Spaniard could have added to it after Kroos had been weak in the tackle against Oscar, Chelsea then attacking down the right again. Torres's ambitious shot ended up being more a cross.
David Luiz had earlier been on hand to repel a dangerous Bayern move but midway through the half our opponents did work Petr Cech, Ribery taking Boateng's lay-off and drawing a full-stretch save from our keeper with a low shot.
The French winger went close on 28 minutes from a similar position, this time firing wide of the far post.
Bayern, without any regular holding midfielders, were finding it hard to stop Chelsea springing forward on the counter-attack however, and another Schurrle -Torres combination ended with the latter spinning and not missing by much.
With 37 minutes played, it was Bayern who were able to launch an incisive break after several of the Chelsea midfield were sucked towards the ball. Robben was involved and a pass was pushed through for Lahm to shoot, but a Cahill slide deflected it wide. It was a vital contribution by the big defender who was booked soon after for an aerial collision with Muller. That looked harsh.
Second half
The lead the Blues took into the changing room at the break lasted less than two minutes after the restart.
The space Ribery found in and around the right of the Chelsea penalty area had been the major concern in the first half, and now he took a pass from Kroos and launched a shot from 25 yards out. Cech got a light touch on it but not enough to prevent it beating him at the near post. The France international then volleyed another effort wide soon after.
Robben fired high over the bar from a free-kick routine and for a prolonged spell Chelsea saw little of the ball, but then a slip by centre-back Dante in his own area almost let us in. Schurrle grabbed possession and gave it to Oscar in a great position but the Brazilian delayed testing Neuer, a mistake as it turned out when his eventual effort was blocked. Lampard fired the rebound over from distance.
Ramires and David Luiz were booked in quick succession for fouls on Ribery and Mandzukic.
In what was a better minute for the Londoners, Hazard scuffed a shot that Neuer saved, Ramires hit one with even less power before Oscar had a better strike blocked.
With 70 minutes on the clock, Guardiola brought on Gotze for Muller having introduced Javi Martinez earlier in the game. That first switch had allowed the familiar Lahm and Robben combination down their right to be restored.
On 76 minutes Chelsea hit the bar and it was the other scorer from the Europa League final who was denied, Ivanovic heading goalwards after David Luiz had flicked on a Lampard corner. Schurrle then brought down a Lampard chip over the defence but shot at Neuer with his left-foot.
Bayern came at Chelsea again, and Gotze's shot was deflected away from the target, but then Boateng earned Bayern's first booking for a foul on Hazard and from Lampard's delivery, David Luiz drew a fine save from Neuer with a header.
A minute later Ramires engaged Gotze in a block tackle and the ref decided he had followed through on the young German. The yellow card was produced, quickly followed by a red, and Chelsea would complete the game with 10 men. Ramires will serve a suspension in the Champions League.
Mikel came on for Schurrle and there was hope for Chelsea before the end of 90 minutes when Dante up-ended Torres who had just been booked. David Luiz couldn't beat the wall with the free-kick.
Extra time
There was a warning to Bayern just after the restart when Hazard almost opened them up and coming in from the left again, he drilled the Blues back into the lead two minutes in with a ferocious drive. Neuer will be disappointed with his part in the goal given how close he was to it, but that doesn't mask the quality of the dribble and the strike.
Guardiola quickly replaced the relatively quiet Robben with Xherdan Shaqiri and Mourinho followed by changing centre-forward - Romelu Lukaku on for Torres who had made a good contribution to the evening.
Cech saved a shot from Ribery that was probably going wide anyway, and Cahill twice bravely threw himself in the way of Bayern missiles to take the lead into the second period of extra time.
Two minutes into that, Bayern had their best chance for quite some time, Mandzukic giving Cech a chance to save his close-range header when there should have been none, and then moments later the Chelsea keeper performing wonders to keep out another header across him from Martinez.
The aerial route gave Bayern a third chance of the period but this time Cahill's renowned blocking sense saved his team. Terry came on to strengthen the ramparts.
With three minutes remaining Oscar conceded a free-kick just outside the area and with Mourinho whipping up vocal support from the Chelsea end, Cech pulled off a fine save from Ribery's effort. How the Bayern fans must hate the sight of our keeper!
However with only seconds left on the clock, their team managed to beat him. Another cross came in, it broke from a crowd and Martinez was able to score from close range.
Penalty shoot-out
As in Munich in 2012, the shoot-out was in front of the Bayern end, and the Germans went first.
Alaba sent Cech the wrong way to make it 1-0 before David Luiz hit his high and hard. 1-1.
Kroos dummied and rolled his home for a 2-1 lead before Oscar did similar but with much more power.
Next up for Bayern, Lahm found the bottom corner, 3-2. Lampard to the keeper's left, 3-3.
Ribery stroked in the fourth to keep up the 100 per cent record all round, kept going by Cole with a moment of stress when it hit the post and went in.
Shaqiri was lucky when his crept under Cech so it was 5-4 and Lukaku had to score. He too checked his run but then lacked power in his shot and Neuer saved.

Comic book artist Ben Templesmith — best known for his work on 30 Days of Night, Fell, Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse, Singularity 7 and Welcome To Hoxford — is doing his own online tribute to Star Wars by drawing each and every character… just for fun.
The artist recently announced on Twitter that he plans to draw every Star Wars character as they appear in the original trilogy. The first two characters he's already posted are none other than the dynamic droid duo of C-3PO and R2-D2.
The first in a series of quick character sketches of every single half decent Star Wars character that appears in the original trilogy… in the order they basically appear in the films.
Yes, I'm nuts, but always wanted to collect all the figures when I was a kid, and now I'll just bloody draw them myself instead!
This isn't the first time Templesmith has traveled to a galaxy far, far away. He also illustrated a rather creepy story "Dark Journey" in issue #17 of Star Wars Tales, published by Dark Horse Comics.
We can't wait to see which Star Wars characters he draws next for The Ben TempleSith Project!
Be sure to follow Ben Templesmith's blog, as well as on his Twitter.

If you head to the beach without sunscreen, you'll probably return home with a scarlet, painful sunburn. That's because you've exposed your skin to several hours of UV rays, which damage DNA within your skin cells. But did you know that whales can get sunburned, too?

Drift Gillnets Kept at Bay . . . For Now
We can breathe a momentary sigh of relief. This Monday, the Pacific Fishery Management Council voted unanimously to maintain protections off California and Oregon for the critically endangered population of Pacific leatherback sea turtles. However, in 2014 these federal fishery managers will consider another proposal for allowing driftnets into sea turtle habitat southwest of Monterey, California.
At the meeting a few days ago in Tacoma, Washington, the Council considered a full array of proposals to expand the use of drift gillnets off California and Oregon and into an area currently designated to protect Pacific leatherback sea turtles. But Oceana—with the help of our partners, and support of our avid Wavemakers—successfully thwarted those efforts by presenting new science on the decline of leatherback sea turtles; by revealing scientific data showing massive wasteful bycatch of large whales, dolphins, sharks, and other fish by the drift gillnet fishery; and by bringing forward the public uproar over the proposed expansion of the driftnet fishery into a currently protected area.
Mile-long drift nets hang like invisible curtains in the water column to catch swordfish, but they unselectively entangle other marine life traversing through the open ocean. To numerically paint the portrait of this wasteful fishery, for every five swordfish caught in 2011, one marine mammal was killed and six fish were tossed back dead. When it comes to whales, this fishery takes many species, but one of particular concern is the sperm whale. The largest of the toothed whales, sperm whales have the largest brain of any animal and it is estimated that 16 of these amazing endangered whales were taken in the drift gillnet fishery in 2010 alone.

The Hidden World of the Pacific Seafloor
In this gorgeous new Oceana video Alexandra Cousteau delves into Monterey Bay to illuminate the diversity of life at the bottom of the ocean, a crucial habitat that is under the constant threat of obliteration from bottom trawling. Using an ROV the camera captures an otherworldly scene, as scallops flutter by and curlicued basket stars unfurl. Armies of shrimp and brittle stars scamper by, fed by the organic matter from above that drifts down the water column like snowfall, sustaining a remarkably rich community. In shallower waters, coral gardens that take hundreds of years to blossom shelter rockfish and ingeniously disguised crabs, and serve as a nursery for dozens of species of fish. Here octopuses go camouflage against the rocky shale, out of sight of the hungry sperm whales and sea lions from above. Anemone-covered spires upwell nutrient rich waters that feed shoals of krill, which in turn feed blue whales. It is an intricately connected ecosystem and it can be destroyed in an instant by bottom trawling. That's why Oceana has pushed for an end to bottom trawling in ecologically sensitive areas. And that work has paid off in concrete victories: in 2006 NOAA protected 140,000 square miles of Pacific seafloor from the destructive practice, but more needs to be done. For the most part this world goes unseen by human eyes and it's why Oceana is working laboriously to document these precious areas before they disappear.

Q&A: Sperm Whale Researcher Shane Gero
The spring issue of Oceana magazine is now available online! We are especially excited about the Q&A in this issue, which I did with sperm whale researcher Shane Gero.
Gero, who wrote an incredible guest blog post for us last year, is working on his PhD at Nova Scotia's Dalhousie University, and is the lead researcher for the Dominica Sperm Whale Project.
He has has spent thousands of hours at sea observing families of sperm whales off the coast of the Caribbean island of Dominica. His research marks the first time that scientists have tracked individual sperm whales from birth into maturity, and it provides insights into sperm whale society, diet, genetics, communication and culture. Prepare to be amazed:
How did you become interested in sperm whales?
They are the largest of the toothed whales, among the deepest divers, have the planet's largest brain, and they can be found in every ocean and most coastal seas and gulfs on the planet, so as a result they are a significant part of the ocean ecosystem. They also live in complex multi-level societies, have a highly sophisticated communication system, and show signs of culture – so there are lots of interesting questions to explore.
During your research have you become attached to any of the individual whales?
I don't pretend that the animals know who I am, but I have followed some of these whales since birth. I have been there as they have played with their siblings, nursed from their mothers and through the toils and troubles of growing up. As a result, I feel an obligation to them to share their stories in an effort to ensure they have a healthy ocean in which to raise the next generation.
What do you see as the biggest threats facing sperm whales?
While whaling for sperm whales has largely stopped, humans are still the sources of the major threats to sperm whales. Chemical and heavy metals are being found in the tissues of animals from around the world, including those as far away as Antarctica, and animals can become entangled in fishing gear including longline and gill nets. But ocean noise is increasingly being seen as a major threat to cetaceans around the world.
Close your eyes and imagine you're a sperm whale. Your world is mostly darkness. In order to stay connected with your family you play a constant game of Marco Polo. You see with sound. Now imagine a constant background noise from all around blurring the echoes. As humans it might compare to living in a rock concert your whole life, just asking your neighbor a simple question would be difficult.
Why do you think sperm whale conservation is important?
On an evolutionary timeline, sperm whales are among the oldest of the toothed whales. They have lived in the oceans for longer than modern humans have walked upright. Both the whales and humanity depend on the ocean for survival, so in some ways, I am not asking people to care about sperm whales specifically, I am just asking them to care. If more people feel the shared burden we all have to protect the oceans then I will have done my job.
Anything else you want to share about sperm whales or your research?
Ultimately, what I have learnt from these families of sperm whales thus far is simple. Love your family. Learn from your grandmothers' experience. Be a good neighbor. Share the burden of your responsibilities by working together. Spend time with your older brother because eventually he moves away. And most importantly, life, it seems, is about the relationships one builds with those around them.

Sperm Whales Prefer Squid to Plastic Bags
Plastic is one of the most common pollutants that end up in the ocean, but the properties that make it ideal for shopping make it deadly to marine life.
Plastics are durable and do not decompose easily, which means they can stay in the ocean for decades. And because they are so lightweight, plastics can float in the ocean where sea turtles and marine birds can get entangled or even ingest them by mistake. For example, plastic bags in the ocean closely resemble jellyfish, which are a common food for sea turtles.
Plastic can also have serious effects on marine mammals, including sperm whales which are some of the world's smartest animals – possessing the largest brain of any known species.
Sperm whales typically feed on squid, sometimes diving more than a mile below the ocean's surface to find food. But plastic trash is becoming more and more a part of the whales' diets. Each year, sperm whales eat more than 100 million tons of seafood using suction, which makes them more vulnerable to ingesting plastic. And because sperm whales are at the top of the food chain, they are the most likely to be affected by pollution.

Guest Post: Following a Family of Sperm Whales
Editor's Note: Guest blogger Shane Gero is a Ph.D. candidate at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia and a lead researcher for the Dominica Sperm Whale Project.
I met Enigma when he was only a few months old. He was about three meters long and probably weighed over a ton.
That's about average for a newborn sperm whale. When he reaches full size, in about 25 years, Enigma might be as long as 18 meters and weigh over 50 tons.
I have been following Enigma's family since before he was born. I have spent literally thousands of hours at sea following them and about 20 other families of sperm whales which live in the eastern Caribbean Sea.
It has really been the first time that anyone has come to know these leviathans from the deep as individuals with personalities, as brothers and sisters or as mothers and babysitters, and as a community of families each with their own ways of doing things, their own dialects, and their own cultures.
Sperm whale relationships are very much like our social lives -- more so than many might like to admit. The main difference is the most obvious, they live in the ocean. You see, most of the ocean is actually dark. Only a thin layer at the surface gets any light from the sun. For a sperm whale, life is really in the darkness of the deep.
I jokingly call them "surfacers" rather than "divers" because an adult female, like Enigma's mother Mysterio, will spend over 80 percent of her life in the darkness of the deep ocean feeding. She will only spend about 10 to 15 minutes of every hour in the part of the ocean that sunlight touches and where I can observe her interacting with other members of her family.
As a result, while Mysterio's eyesight is good both above and below the water, her world is dominated by sound. Just like bats, sperm whales have evolved a system of echolocation to "see" in the dark. Their unique nose, which houses the most powerful natural sonar system, has allowed them to exploit the deepest parts of the ocean that very few other mammals can, and as a result has made them a significant part of the ocean ecosystem. Globally, sperm whales can eat as much squid as all of humanity's fisheries combined.

Whale Wednesday: Sushi Sting
On this hump day, a few cetaceous stories for your perusal:
As you've probably heard, the team behind Sunday's Oscar-winning documentary "The Cove" exposed Santa Monica sushi restaurant The Hump for serving illegal whale meat. The possession or sale of marine mammals -- in this case, the endangered sei whale -- is a violation of the Marine Mammal Protection Act, and can lead to a year in prison and a fine of $20,000.
And on the brighter side, the BBC has a remarkable slideshow of images showing a sperm whale surface feeding off the coast of New Zealand. Surface feeding is uncommon for sperm whales, who usually hunt many meters below the sea's surface -- this individual must have been pretty hungry.
Whale Wednesday: Squid Herding?
BBC News reports that Oregon scientists using impressive tagging technology have shown that sperm whales may work together in a kind of zone offense to hunt their squid prey.
The researchers have evidence of the whales staying together over several months in the Gulf of Mexico. And their behavior varied with each deep dive, indicating that they alternate roles to spread out the physiological demand of the 1,000-meter dives.
One researcher said that the some whales appeared to guard the bottom of a squid bait ball, while others took advantage of the center of the ball.
Other research has suggested dolphins may exhibit herding behavior, but this is the first evidence in sperm whales; some scientists remain skeptical.
Just remember, whales: there is no "I" in "team."
Whale Wednesday: Talkin' to You
Don't you hate when you're at a party or restaurant, and even without music on, the room grows louder and louder and louder? Until you can barely hear the person standing right next to you? New research shows that sperm whales have evolved to circumvent this cocktail party conundrum.
According to the scientists, whose work will be presented at the Acoustical Society of America next week, the whales are polite conversationalists -- they make a specific effort to keep their calls from overlapping by changing the intervals between their echolocating clicks.
Perhaps humans can try this. It might go something like this:
"Would you - click - like an hors d'oeuvre - click?"
"Yes, one - click - mushroom puff - click - please."
And in other acoustic findings, researchers have discovered the first known instances of male humpback whales singing to one another, similar to songbirds. Whether the whale songs are macho seduction tunes -- like male birdsongs -- is still unclear.
What is clear is that there's a lot we don't know about what's being said and sung under the sea.

Christmas is just around the corner, and residents of Tinseltown are busy picking out trees, unpacking ornaments, and stringing up lights. Despite their fabulous lifestyles, luxurious homes, and brimming bank accounts, some celebrities' holiday traditions are surprisingly down-to-earth and endearing. As we count down the days to December 25, here's a look at how some of Hollywood's biggest stars are getting in the Christmas spirit and decorating for the holidays.
Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux
Last weekend, Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux kicked off the holiday season by hosting a tree trimming party at their California home. The centerpiece of the evening's festivities was a 10-foot-tall Noble Fir Christmas tree that the former "Friends" star purchased for the occasion. A source at Mr. Greentrees in Beverly Hills commented on Aniston's selection, saying "she likes [her trees] really full and fluffy." No wonder she wanted help decorating!
Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder
"Vampire Diaries" costars Nina Dobrev and Ian Somerhalder were spotted shopping for a Christmas tree in Atlanta, Georgia. The cute couple, whose on-screen chemistry translated into real-life romance, were likely in the area for filming, since the nearby town of Covington doubles as the fictional Mystic Falls. The two were seen wandering through the rows of trees, with Nina pointing out some extra tall varieties while Ian looked on.
Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton
In the December 3 issue of Us Weekly, Miranda Lambert opened up about how she and "Voice" mentor Blake Shelton prepare for Christmas. According to Miranda, "Blake likes to pick food out of a magazine for me to make. Last year it was gourmet mac 'n' cheese. It took me three hours!" The "Over You" singer also confessed that her hubby enjoys decorating their home for the holidays and getting in the Christmas spirit.
Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake
After the stress of planning a wedding, Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake intend to relax this Christmas season. "We're pretty much going to do the same thing that we do every year," Biel said, "hang out with our family and just be mellow." The newlyweds do have some rather unique ornaments for their first tree. According to Biel, she used to "mutilate [her] Barbie dolls" by removing their heads and sticking them on Christmas lights; the "Playing for Keeps" star says her family still has - and uses - the "silly" heads she made as a kid.
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott
As you might expect, craft guru Tori Spelling is into DIY Christmas decorations. Earlier this month, the hands-on mother of four tweeted, "On a train heading to a farm to cut down our own Christmas Tree! #DIYChristmas #ChristmasTreeFarm" and shared a picture of herself with daughter Stella. The 39-year-old appears to have bounced back from the birth of son Finn Davey, and she hasn't let her super-scary hospital stay slow her down. After picking out a tree, Spelling also shared her ideas for displaying holiday cards around the house.

- " Location is good but it's difficult to find the hotel. But the direction on booking hotel was not clear when you get off from Airport Huttle Bus, you should turn left or right. We had to walk around about 15min in order to find the hotel. The direction should be more specified. "

- " A little difficult to find, but there are signs to direct you. The location is perfect: right in the middle of Mong Kok - the shopping district. The staff are nice and speak pretty good English, and they clean the rooms everyday. The one thing I didn't like was that there was basically no storage. You can lock your stuff in your room within the apartment (which was always locked) but your roommates might not leave the room locked. Also, you can't cook - just a kettle and (in some rooms) fridges. "

Poured into a tulip glass. Bottled dated 6/2012. Let's see if aging improves.
A: Tawny brown with a tan one-finger head that dissipates to frothy bubbles.
S: Belgian yeast doninates, followed by caramel, chocolate, dark fruits and bourbon
T: Damn! Drinks like a quad. Follows nose with a grand entrance. Dates, raisins, figs with Belgian yeast, caramel and malts. A smooth bourbon burn.
M: Thick, heavy, chewy. Very carbonated. Sexy and decadent.
O: I love this one. The aging really did a number. Would buy again. Recommended.

look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
Bottle dated 17/12/2011, almost 2 years old.
A: Very dark reddish-brown pour. Almost opaque. Big fizzy tan head. Head sputters out somewhat quickly like a fuzzy soda. Minimal lacing but good retention. LOTS of floaties, almost to the point of ridiculousness.
S: Lots of sweet brown sugar in this one. Dark fruits, fig and raisin and maybe even some prunes? Decent belgian yeast with some cloves adding some spiciness.
T: Again with the sweet brown sugar and lots of dark fruits. Very similar to the aroma. Heavy on the belgian yeast, cloves and earthy spices everywhere. Tastes a lot like a dubbel, just a bigger, sweeter one. Malt is sweet and bready, kinda reminds me of fruitcake if I'm honest. Mild toasted malt floating around and lingering between sips.
M: Nice medium bodied and very smooth.
O: Nice sweet and fruity dubbel-esque BSDA. Great complexity, great smoothness of body and flavors. Huge chunks of sediment everywhere was a bit disconcerting but it is what it is. Overall definitely in the upper echelon of BSDAs.

Pours dark brown with a big fluffy head that does not last. Yeasty floaties spin in the beer from the carbonation.
Dark malt, brown sugar, dark over-ripe fruit and molasses in the nose.
Brown sugared malt with some dates and dark dried fig notes. Dries out a bit to some cane sugar and brown bread. Mild bitterness in the finish. 9%? Could have fooled me. Alcohol does not show up at all.
Medium bodied. Moderate carbonation zip.
Heavier and sugary, and still easy drinking. This is worth a try.

A - Pours a cloudy mahogany with a fizzy light tan head that sticks around for a while.
S - Caramel sweetness hits you first and then it dives into a fruity twang. The fruit is a mix between citrus and dark fruits. Really interesting.
T - The taste follows the nose. Sweet caramely malts, belgian yeast and then dark fruits afterwards.
M - Medium bodied and high carbonation. Crisp beer here.
O - The ABV is well hidden and the beer is an easy drinker. Interesting beer that somehow pulls all the flavors together wonderfully.

Dark brown with hint of mahogany, sandy head s fine but doesn't stick around; specks of yeast are visible. Mash-up of prunes, dates, root beer, dark cherry, and lightly burnt caramel in the aroma. Buttery texture. Getting cherry, earthy root, lightly bitter dark chocolate, rich caramel - basically everything in the scent and more. Spices like pepper and nutmeg.
Exactly what you'd expect from a proper Belgian brune, warm, complex, full flavour with a soft, smooth mouthfeel - everything done right

750 ml bottle served in a St. Bernardus snifter.
A: Poured with a thick creamy light tan head on top of a reddish-brown body that has lumps of dark soft solids floating about. Not appealing, but the solids have no nasty effects on feel or flavor, and settle to the bottom anyway so that they could be avoided ... that is, if the beer wasn't so darn good you'll want every drop. Still, a downgrade on looks; it remains high due to the stellar head and lacing.
S: Smell is bready-fruity-floral, with hints of cumin, orange juice, and champagne. Some additional, more earthy and less attractive alcohol esters.
Taste: rich, even given the aroma, and mainly fruity and spicy, although the flavor is subtle and complex. Making appearances are raisins and dates, dark bread, coriander, cumin, ginger and oranges. There's a faint hint of smoke in the aftertaste. This beer is rather sweet but the bitter/sweet blend seems on the spot.
M: Body seems medium-full and, at the same time, light and airy. Very very soft. Only a soft alcohol heat despite 9% ABV.
O: superb; a real treat.

750 ml bottle into chalice, best before 2/12/2013. Pours moderately cloudy reddish brown color with a nice 2 finger fairly dense and fluffy cream colored head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Spotty foamy lacing clings on the glass, with plenty of streaming carbonation retaining the head. Aromas of big raisin, prune, fig, apple, caramel, molasses, toast, toffee, brown bread, pepper, light clove, and earthy yeast spiciness. Incredible aromas with big complexity and great balance of dark malt and fruity/spicy yeast ester notes; with good strength. Taste of raisin, fig, prune, apple, caramel, molasses, toast, toffee, pepper, light clove, brown bread, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of light and dark fruits, caramel, molasses, toast, toffee, brown bread, pepper, light clove, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic complexity of malt and spicy/fruity yeast esters; with a great balance of malt/spiciness and no cloying flavors after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a creamy, slick, and moderately prickly mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is very well hidden with only a slight warming noticed after the finish. Overall this is a fantastic Belgian strong dark ale! Great complexity and balance of malt and fruity/spicy yeast esters; and very smooth to sip on. A highly enjoyable offering.

A: Pours a cloudy to murky dark brown in color with moderate amounts of visible carbonation and some ruby red highlights along with significant amounts of yeast sediment in suspension near the bottom of the glass (dark yeast sediment). The beer has a three finger tall dense foamy dark beige head that slowly reduces to a thick film covering the entire surface of the beer and a slightly thicker ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Overall the aroma for this beer is sweet with notes of caramel and toffee malts and some dark fruits + spices.
T: Similar to the smell, upfront this beer has moderate to strong flavors of sweet malts with notes of caramel and toffee. There are moderate flavors of dark fruit and just a hint of spices. Light amounts of bitterness which fades quickly.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Relatively smooth.
O: Overall the alcohol in this beer is extremely well hidden and this is a very enjoyable beer. Easy to drink and definitely one I would get again. The flavors and aromas intensify as the beer warms.

A pleasant surprise to find at te LCBO's in Northern Ontario.
A - Pours a rich ruby red, black in the middle and ruby on the edges, solid thumb of head with decent retention and some sporadic lacing.
S - Rich caramel and burnt sugar, bready malts and a candied caramel apple finish.
T - Much like the nose the burnt sugar and caramel flavours dominate the palette alongside hints of dark fruit, musty caramel and a bready finish.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and surprisingly wet.
O - A tasty brew loaded with flavour and well worth seeking out. Glad I had a chance to try it and will grab an extra bottle or two before they disappear.

A - Pours a nice dark Mhogany cloudy colour with an off white foamy head that retains very well.

M - Medium body with medium to full carbonation.
O - This is a big dark Belgian not for the feint hearted. A must try. The balance in this beer is truely impressive.

Poured from an 11.2oz bottle into a goblet glass.
A: The beer is a medium brown color, with a thin off-white head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma contains brown sugar, caramelized malts, Belgian yeast some spice and a touch of hops.
T: The taste starts out sweet with strong flavors of brown sugar and caramel. Then some Belgian yeast and hearty malt character breadiness comes in. The hops presence is very mild but complementary and creates a good balance. The after-taste is slightly sweet.
M: Smooth and a little crisp, medium body, light-to-medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
O: Tasty, goes down easily, not too filling, strong kick, good representation of style, it's a solid Belgian brown ale but there are better options in the style.

11.2 oz bottle poured into a snifter. Best before 02/12/2013.
A: Pours a cloudy ruby with lots of chunks and a 1 finger dense white head. Leaves a real nice head, doesn't dissipate past 1/8" throughout the glass. No real lacing.
S: First there is a woody lemon and yeast. Orange and raisin, maybe some fig. A hint of booze but really not much. A breadiness to it.
T: A cereal malt taste with dark fruits and a hint of hop. Almost a maple syrup taste to it. Very well balanced. A nice malt/fuirty belgian beer.
M: Fairly light yet a dense feel in the mouth. Crisp and easy drinking. Could use some more carbonation. Booze is well hidden.
Overall a well balanced and drinkable dark ale. The aroma is very tasty and lends to a drinkable brew.

750 mL bottle, part of Amanti Vino's Beer of the Month program. It was allowed to warm a bit before being poured into my Firestone Walker tulip.
Abbaye des Rocs Brune pours a deep ruby red, lightening a bit around the edges. Three fingers or so of khaki colored foam come together to cap the beer. Head retention is just alright, and lacing is minimal. The nose is very nice, redolent of candied dark fruits with just a little bit of a gentle alcohol aroma present as well. The flavor leads off with the same fruity presence from the nose. It's not all plum, as there's plenty of raisin and other dark fruits, and there's an undercurrent of sweetness running through them all. The warming booziness that comes in mid palate transitions beautifully into a lightly intense clove finish. The body is well dried out, this beer would serve as an excellent example to show someone that final gravity does not necessarily correlate with sweetness in a beer. There's a little bit of a spark to the carbonation, but for my taste it could stand to have even a little more kick. A beer like Abbaye des Rocs Brune is why I like being in a BotM program. I might never have picked up a bottle of this on my own, but it's a pretty great Belgian Strong Dark Ale.

Good easy drinking slow sipper. Pours into my Chimay goblet, a murky brown color with plenty of dark sediment in the bottom of the glass. Head is pretty big for a Belgian. Good size delicately bubbling off white head with good retention and some scattered film and lacing down the glass.
Smell is dark fruit, raisins and plums, bready malt, some black pepper and after the beer is fully warmed up, some Belgian yeast.
Taste is more of the same, very nicely done. There is a hint of warming alcohol that goes just right with this expertly blended mix of flavors.
Mouthfeel is rich, the alcohol level is just right. So is the spiciness. Just right on the tongue.
This is a very enjoyable strong ale.

Poured into a goblet. Best before 2010...oops.
2.0 A: Fucker gushed on me big time. Dark brown color. Unthinkable amounts of yeast particulates and floaters throughout. Big frothy tan head. Retention is below average and no lacing is left. I know this would look much better if it didn't gush, but it did, and my score will reflect what I got. An ugly ass brew if I've ever seen one.
4.5 S: The aroma, on the other hand, is quite fine. Perfect balance between sweetness, fruit, earth, and spice. Toasted malts to start this one off with a subtle nuttiness. Raisin and date fruits. Woody earthiness. Pepper spiciness with clove undertones. Sweetness from candi sugar residue. Well balanced with all the flavors in perfect harmony like any of the world class Belgians.
4.0 T: Taste is almost as good, but it seems hollow at times. Toastiness, nutty, earthy, woody, pepper and clove spice, raisin and date fruits. This is much drier than the nose suggests and I think a little more sweetness is just what this brew needs. That extra fermentation is likely the culprit. A little more maltiness would really balance the taste. Still, it's very good.
2.5 M: Light to lighter medium body. Good spritzy carbonation and a pleasant creaminess. This could easily be a 4.5. But, it isn't because all those floaters are really offputting. I can't help but think I'm drinking vomit every time a clump of something passes over and tickles my tongue.
3.5 D: While still very enjoyable, it's clear to me that I need to find this brew fresh. In an unadultered form, I bet this is fantastic. When I do track another bottle down, I'll probably re-review.

Beer is dark brown with an epic off-white head. Huge and lasts a long time.
Smell consists of Belgian yeast and dark fruit (prune and raisin).
Taste is the same as the smell but smoother. Yeast, bready malt, dark fruit. All works very well together, very integrated. Dry. Very nice.
Full bodied, moderate carbonation, very smooth.
Overall, excellent. Better than the Grand Cru and Triple Imperial, in my view.

S: pretty complex and very sweet aromas. i get a nice mixture of dark fruits predominately raisins and some figs. typical Belgian yeast also makes itself present and the alcohol is completely absent.
T: this is a delicious sweet brew IMO. it is loaded with sweet molasses, brown sugar, bready yeasts and has a buttery aspect to it. I find that balance quite nice and the flavors complement one another. medium bodied.
overall, i found this beer highly drinkable and would definitely return to this one

Poured in my Struise glass the beer starts quit nice. Watch out because the beer is pretty lively! Darkbrown like tea with a huhge head which fades away quit fast.
Light sourness fights with some sweetness when you smell the beer. Good and pleasant taste make this beer very drinkable.

I currently have a apple 16GB with 1.1.4 never upgraded before this is my first iphone.
So when i bought the phone i found the program ziphone which worked perfectly for me no wifi problems or anything like that, that i have read other people have major problems with, anw i never knew about this site and found it through google the other day and am very suprised at the comments about Zibri.
Anyway my Question is, is it safe to use this pwnage program to upgrade to 2.0 and jailbreak now that i have used ziphone? i dont want to use ziphone after reading the many bad comments and what he has done by stealing code. But i am also told hat using 2 unlock programs is very bad and could harm the phone.
Also i read on a website the dev team have unlocked and jailbroken the 2.0 when will that be available to download the new pwnage to unlock/jailbreak it? andalso when will there be a way to save 3rd party apps for installer?

Support Fraudulent Thai Ginger? – I try to support businesses with similar ethics as mine.
After having read this article and many others about Thai Ginger's owner having committed immigration fraud--paying people to marry her relatives so they could stay in the U.S., I can no longer support such a business. Even if they do cook good food (sometimes), this restaurant is terribly managed and owned. And her employees show the lack of management in their atrocious customer service. Not a place to go.
Citysearch isn't letting me post the article so you'll have to look it up using the key words "Thai Ginger fraud" and I read most of the articles but mainly the KOMONews one.
Excellent Service & Affordable Prices – We have gone here a few times and each time the staff remember us. The main waiter even remembered my husbands occupation and asks him about it every time we go in. Great food, good portions, good prices!
Great Place on the Plateau – The Thai Ginger Special and Chicken Skewers are AWESOME!!! Great family atmosphere and service. I would highly recommend.
Editorial Review – Upscale Thai restaurant in Issaquah offers standards like noodles and swimming rama along with unusual dishes like salmon curry.

Man arrested after spate of purse thefts in Warminster and Westbury
9:30am Sunday 22nd December 2013 in Latest News
A police operation to tackle a spate of purse thefts in Wiltshire supermarkets has resulted in a man being jailed.
Marin Mitielu, of Romania, pleaded guilty to thefts, attempted theft and fraud at Swindon Magistrates' Court on Monday. He was sentenced to 16 weeks in prison.
He had been arrested outside the Morrisons store in Warminster last Friday.
Warminster's Neighbourhood Policing Team had increased patrols after a spate of purse and wallet thefts in Warminster and Westbury during the last month.
Inspector Alan Webb praised shoppers, store staff and police officers. He said: "All played their parts, from the actions of the person alerting the store staff, the security officer and staff at Morrisons and the pro-active work of Sean Brady and Hanna Jamieson from the Warminster and Westbury NPTs.
"I hope this gives out the clear message that we will work together to protect people from criminals who prey on them."

Re: Power of 0
well, easiest way to think about is to look at it like a series:
as you go down the series, you divide by n, n/n = 1
as you go up the series, you multiply by n, 1/n*n = 1
example there, as you go down, you divide by 2, 8->4->2->1->0.5->0.25
same going up, the only number that makes sense is 1.
the only time it doesnt really apply is in 0^0, but to keep it consistent, we say that 0^0 = 1 aswell, although often, youll just see it as undefined aswell.

This 0^0 thing really confuses me. It needs to be 1 to be consistent with Luca's sequence, but then it breaks this one:
