Frito-Lay has a long-standing commitment to health and wellness and has been a leader in the food industry in making nutritional improvements based on sound science. Whether through improved products or new product introductions, Frito-Lay offers consumers a wide variety of snacks that can fit into a healthier lifestyle, and continues to build on these efforts. In 2010, Frito-Lay embarked on a multi-year initiative to validate products as gluten free and then label qualified products on packaging. We developed a rigorous gluten protocol for testing our ingredients and finished products, with input from the Food Allergy Research and Resource Program (FARRP) and CDF. Frito-Lay is using an analytical test called the R-Biopharm RDASCREEN Gliaden/Gluten assay to test our ingredients and finished products to ensure they contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten before making a "gluten free" claim. This is the level set forth by the FDA in its Proposed Rule for Gluten Free Labeling. Since many of our chips are made from simple ingredients like corn or potatoes, they have naturally always been made without gluten. So we are not removing gluten from our products, rather, we are testing that the products contain less than 20 ppm of gluten based on their recipe. To illustrate this on our packages, we have started adding a "gluten free" claim to our bags, where appropriate. The claim on packaging can appear in the form of a "GF" icon and/or a statement on the back of the bag, depending on the product and bag size. Our website will always be the most up-to-date resource to identify products qualified as "gluten free".

Our story began in 1989 at the Silver Hills Guest House, a wellness resort quietly tucked away in the beautiful and serene Okanagan Valley of British Columbia. Rooted in a philosophy of holistic, healthy living, guests to the resort are taught the benefits of positive lifestyle choices supplemented by a vegan-friendly diet as a means of promoting health and achieving a higher quality of life.
Soon after opening its doors, the resort staff discovered they were unable to find wholesome, all-natural bread that aligned with their dietary values. Fortunately, Brad Brousson, the soon to be co-founder of Silver Hills Bakery, was on staff at the time. His mother had taught him the craft of baking bread and as a result Silver Hills decided to make its own bread. This is how Silver Hills Bakery evolved.
As a natural part of our growth, we're excited to offer the organic whole grain nutrition of Silver Hills in our gluten-free breads that are made in a dedicated and certified gluten-free facility.
To this day we have two simple goals: bake wholesome, great tasting bread and inspire healthier living through healthier choices. For more information visit: www.silverhills.com/gluten-free

Well Amy® offers you easy access to healthy living by taking the guesswork out of shopping. The Market by Well Amy® is a new concept in allergen-free shopping, a welcome departure from the traditional marketplace. Starting a gluten free lifestyle in 2008, Amy was frustrated by the notion that following a special diet meant having to settle for food that did not taste great. She wanted only the best. To accomplish her goal, Amy organized groups of consumers to taste test and evaluate all products being considered for her Market. Products were judged based on criteria important to discerning consumers: how does it taste, what ingredients are in it, is it easy to make, will my friends and family like it and does it meet the needs of those with special dietary concerns. Before launching, more than 1,500 gluten free foods were tested and "only the best" in each product class are now offered on the Market by Well Amy®.

Our story probably began a little something like yours. It was 1964, and our grandfather, Max Torres, worked at a local, neighborhood natural foods store. He started to become more aware of his body and his health, and very passionate about understanding the intricacies of food. He began to study how foods, when paired with an understanding of one's own body, can truly uplift, relieve and fulfill one with strength and energy. 50 years and more than 60 products later, our mission is the same. To craft truly wholesome baked goods that specifically cater to helping health aware people who understand the needs of their bodies live life to the fullest.

12 oz. bottle poured into a Spiegelau glass. Bottled on 9/10. Consumed on 10/20.
A - Amber in color. Poured no head. Light carbonation. No lacing as liquid receded.
S - Moderately fragrant. Apricot and brown sugar.
T - Dominant malt backbone. Moderate sweetness composed of maple syrup, nutmeg, and hazelnut. Some tartness composed of orange and pineapple with a lemon rind finish. Key note is that mat backbone was dominant throughout. Some alcohol notes.
M - Medium bodied with light carbonation. Nothing remarkable.
O - A mess. Malt backbone over powering and inappropriate for an IPA or DIPA. Not recommended.

Bottled on Jan. 19, 2012! I really need to start looking at bottle dates before buying! Probably the oldest IPA I have ever had. Since IPAs have a reputation for not aging well due to the hops fading, I'm not expecting much despite Hercules being #99 on the BA Beers of Fame list until very recently.
Poured into a Sierra Nevada IPA glass from the 22 oz. bottle.
a: Nearly clear amber with much carbonation and a two inch tall white head which receded slowly to heavy surface foam and patterned lacing.
s: Moderate pine.
t: Strong pine hops forward. Bitterness lingers on the tongue. Surprisingly powerful hop presence considering the age on this bottle. The very high ABV is not very evident until later, when the throat begins to burn a bit from it. Less than halfway through I can already feel it.
m: Medium, great body, a definite sipper, not one you'd likely choose for a quick summer refresher. But now it's Fall and sipping an intoxicating hop bomb like this is really pleasant.
o: Again, surprised that this has so much hop clout for its age. A DIPA worthy of being in the BA Beers of Fame top 100, although its days there have just recently ended. Still, this is one to beat.

3.78/5 rDev -8.7%
look: 3.75 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Deep copper, a bit of haze as it pours into a large tulip glass. Forms a huge 2 and a half finger head despite a smooth pour. Retention is average for an IPA leaving some thin but intricate lacing on the glass.
Big, pungent and sweet dark bready malt. Hops blend in with the malt sweetness, pine in the forefront with floral peach and orange citrus.
Big malt, sweet bread, honey, toffee and nutty. Hops are leafy and piney with trace amounts of dried mangoes and citrus peel. Not very bitter, very dull pine resin mouthcoating and strong malt covering aftertaste.
Thick and almost viscous compared to most beers. Adequate carbonation, nearly creamy mouthfeel to accompany the thickness. Very balanced and alcohol is well managed.
Got this one a bit over the hill but I know that Great Divide went for balanced with the amount of malt packed into this beer. It's balanced with barleywine malt complexities and faded pine/floral hops. Hopefully I'll find myself back in Colorado to get this one fresh.

4.3/5 rDev +3.9%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
A- a deep amber, cloudy, with one finger of short-lived creamy white head. The head remains around the rim and leaves lacing. A little visible carbonation.
S- a little staid. Mostly sweet/nutty malt.
T- whatever is missing in the aroma comes through in the taste. Big hops (tropical fruit, floral) dominates upfront and quickly slips into the strong malt backbone from the aroma.
M- a big bitter bite in the beginning and on the finish. Mid pallatte is a little smoother.
O- other than the oddly missing aroma complexities, a great well-balanced DIPA that has both big malt and big hops.

3.41/5 rDev -17.6%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 3.75
Appearance - Beautiful hazy golden yellow.
Smell - Yeasty. Reminds me of a Matilda I had earlier this summer with a lacto infection, but with less of a "dirty diaper" smell. This particular bottle: 7/10/13 does seem to have some sort of infection but I haven't tried the other 3 in the 4-pack yet.
Taste - Malts are strong but the hops seem to be lost to the overpowering yeasty aroma. Sweetness prevails and I actually think that the infection seems to compliment the malts in a way that I never could have anticipated.
Mouthfeel - Bready/Chewy.
Overall - Seems like I've encountered an infected anomaly, but based on the malt profile I would take a Double Trouble over this guy any day.

drinking this tonight head-to-head with Bear Republic Racer 5 and Lagunitas Hop Stoopid in my ongoing search for the perfect IPA.
poured from a bomber bottle into a stemless wine glass, it has a clear amber color and thin head.
I really prefer Imperial/double IPA's so I was excited to try this after hearing how great it is. At first taste, I was impressed, but when I sipped the other two beers and compared the flavors, this tastes more like a barleywine than an IPA. The aroma is fantastic, and the aftertaste is delightful, but the high alcohol content makes me want to sip it, not chug it.
I think I prefer Great Divide's Titan IPA to this, and I definitely find Racer 5 easier to drink...
I'll keep searching for the perfect IPA, this is a unique one, worth trying once, but I probably won't go out of my way to have it again.

On tap at the Flying Monkey in Topeka, KS. $5 for a pint.
Appearance: about two fingers of thick white head. Reduced to a thin ring. Great lacing in the glass. Beautiful golden colored body.
Smell: citrusy and piney nose. Earthy lemon rind. Some tropical fruits. Sweet malts.
Taste: peach, grapefruit, mango and citrus. Big bitterness and very warming abv. Sweet malty backbone. The abv is definitely appereant. Almost oniony, spicy bitterness.
Mouthfeel: smooth mouthfeel with medium carbonation. Smooth silky body which helped with the bitterness and alcohol heat.
Overall: a great deal at $5. Nice citrusy/grapefruit up front but the abv definitely makes itself known. Even more than I like in a dipa. Worth a shot If u like 'em big and bitter.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
Slightly hazy amber orange color with a thick off-white head with great retention and leaving a wall of laces.
Delicious citrusy, malty and spicy aroma. Notes of grapefruits, pine, Cointreau, lots of nuts (marzipan) and some earthiness.
Spicy flavor with citrus and earthy notes. Taste of orange peel, grapefruits, earth, pepper, sweet caramel, flowers, overripe pineapple and finishing with strong pine resin note. Dry and bitter aftertaste.
Full viscous body with low carbonation and a sticky feeling.
There is some twist to this DIPA that made it unique, maybe its bold earthiness, heavy malts and spices. Although it is packed with heavy ammo: 10% ABV and 85 IBUs, it is very well balanced and relatively smooth. Though, at a cost of a strong malt sweetness. Still enough bitterness to make me sneeze. This beer is better a bit colder than room temperature.

Pint glass poured from a 22oz bomber. Pours a clear orange/copper color with little head. The smell is heavy to the piney side with very little citrus. The initial taste is hops followed by malt. There is some lingering bitterness at the end. A decent DIPA.

Thanks, Mike! Can't believe I put this one off for so long. Pretty damn close to complete opacity here, copper and orange-ish glowing from the core outwards, topped off with a silky and foamy, dingy white head. The creme top lasts for quite a while and leaves some pretty impressive lace rings down the sides of the glass. Always nice to see for a Double IPA.
The aroma... Oh, man. I can already tell from the very first sniff that I'm not going to love this beer. Lots and lots of malt. Malty sweet. Caramel malts, a hint of toffee, and quite nutty. Not to be a complete downer, however, as hops are still present. This is a Double IPA, after all. Floral, faint citrus, and some bitter orange peel with a touch of ashy pepper. It's got an impressive hop bill possibly, but I can already sense the sweetness.
Sure enough, the first sip is loaded with sweet caramel malts, the stickiness being exacerbated by the thick and viscous body of the beer. Some green and leafy hop notes play around on the palate, and possibly a touch of bitter citrus peel, but really, the malts are completely dominant in this one. Sweet and sticky toffee and baked bread and caramel. And it's not like this beer is too far over the hill - only about three months out. I have a feeling this sucker is pretty sweet during week one.
I will say, in Hercules' defense, that this beer handles the sweetness a little better than others I've seen. Many "heavy" DIPAs (or "T"IPAs as some might say) seem to be "accidentally" malty. An amped up malt bill to "balance" the hops. But it really just ends up drowning them out completely, and you end up with a messy beer and an unplanned, sticky malt bill. Hercules realizes that it's a big, sweet DIPA, and the malt bill, though it's not what I'm looking for in a DIPA, is at least somewhat pleasant to my taste buds.
There's also a bit of a phenolic and peppery flavor that waxes as the beer gets warmer, so you might want to drink this one on the colder side. As I mentioned before, it's not awful. It's drinkable, to a certain degree. But overall, it's disappointing if you're expecting a Double IPA (which you should be, because that's how it's labeled). Too sweet and malty, this could pass for a hoppy American Barleywine (Bigfoot, anyone?) and it might received a bump in ratings.

22oz. Bottle
Binny's Orland
Poured a dark orange/amber into a snifter. Orange highlights show up and get brighter the closer I move my glass toward the light. Streams of carbonation rise to the top. There was a one finger white head on the pour that shrunk to a solid cap. Sheet lacing after the drink settles but then slides back into the body. Looks good.
The smell is unbelievably fresh and juicy. Big grapefruit and caramel. The hops take over though and make me pucker before I even take a drink.
This stuff is excellent. Caramel malt is present but the hops are everywhere. After the caramel shows up first BIG hops drop kick every taste bud. Bitter grapefruit and even some pine hit hard and the longer the drink goes the more bitterness comes through. The alcohol is in there as well with a solid heat but just a little flavor. Very nicely done.
Mouthfeel is really nice for a IIPA. It's medium bodied but does coat my mouth nicely. The carbonation is noticeable but doesn't get in the way at all. Slight alcohol warming on the finish. Your tongue does take a beating.
The body helps make this beer extremely drinkable. For a IIPA this stuff goes down fast and easy.
Overall this beer is big in everything that it does. Hops, malt, and alcohol. It all goes together hand in hand. The only thing holding this beer back is the lack of head. It's still good but that's the only thing remotely close to being a fault in this beer.One of my favorites and at a reasonable price. Pick this up if you see it.

Poured from a bottle into a pint glass.
Pours clear deep golden color with a hint of amber. Large off white head fills the rest of the glass and does not disappear. Smell is very strongly hopped, earth, pine, and slight citrus. There is also a nice background of caramel malt sweetness to it. Taste is malty up front, lots of caramel and nut notes to the flavor that fade to a long lasting bitterness. Finishes with a strong alcohol flavor as well. The mouthfeel is very thick and viscous. This obviously high residual sugar content, and this balances nicely with the hop bitterness. The beer is medium carbonation, very full bodied. Overall this is a very well done double IPA on Great Divide's part. I was turned on to this one because the Titan is one of my all time favorites in terms of IPAs. This one does not disappoint. I definitely recommend giving this one a try if you come across it.

Pours amber in color with a thin half finger off white head.
Dominated by hops in the nose, earthy spicy and pine note followed by a bready malt backbone.
Loads of hoppy bitterness first and followed by bready malt. Mainly pine like hop pull through in the taste and there is a big hop bite.
Mouthfeel is pretty thick with hop resin and carbonation is moderate to low
Overall I would like to try one that is a little fresher, this one is pushing 4 months and is on its last leg, I can taste the hops starting to turn. As is, it a thick piney bitter ipa with a big hop bite.

Malty, caramel, darker in color, this reminds me of DIPA like Lagunitas Sucks. Not the citrus or grapefruit finish like several other DIPAs I'm familiar with. At 10% ABV, it feels a bit sticky, warm in the finish, and a slight bite of alcohol. Reasonable, but better when it's kept very cold.

Pours in a reddish copper color with a slight bit of head with a decent amount of lacing.
The aroma has sweet deep malts however dominate. You get some grapefruit and pine, but this really lacks aroma.
The taste gives a little kick of grapefruit and hops. Then it goes towards a malt finish of caramel, grassiness, and round mouthfeel. The bitterness is really woody and resiny. It's a strong lingering bitterness. Then the finish is almost chalky or acrid because it sticks on your tongue.
The mouthfeel is creamy and smooth.
I'm a big malt head, but there's something about the bitter finish and the grassiness that doesn't quite do it for me. It really is a malt bomb of a Double IPA, or more like an American barleywine.
This really did not do it for me. I've had it both 3 weeks fresh and on tap. That woody bitterness and weird finish is quite offensive.

Poured from a bottle dated 4/25/13. Copper, little to no head. Lacing is minimal. Smell is fantastic right from the bottle! The drinkibility is similar to Hoptimum; the 10%ABV is hidden quite well! The hop/malt balance is brilliant, much better than there regular IPA, Titan. The feel is terrific, the hops are much more noticeable after the beer has gone down! Overall, a beer that is really well done! The price is a turnoff, however.

Some of the best beers I've ever tried were the ones when I went to the store and was like....ehhhh...l.... I'll try it...
Bottled on 4/25/13... drank on 7/8/13...
Poured from bottle into sniffter...
Copper color crystal clear... bubbles shooting to the top super fast.... about 3/4 inch white head... didn't last crazy long but was still there thruout. Lacing was semi sticky... some stayed a while... some ran down quickly with no residue... I'm intrigued...
Smell was phenomenal.... very heavy sweet pineapple grapefruit smell... malt in there with hops shooting thru the nostrils...
Taste... very heavy feeling on first sip with a nice pineapple grapefruit citrus and perfectly balanced hopness... at 85ibu it is very good.... the thing I like most about it that separated from it from the pack was that it had a prune/date/nuttiness to it... almost like a dubbel or an old ale.... this blended so well and was on my pallate the whole time.. my favorite stlyes are the ones mentioned above so this was absolute heaven for me. It is that prune/date/old ale type that really made me say oh my God... ergo..
Overall to date this is the highest rated beer I've given... definitely top 3 of all time... I don't know if I drank it at the perfect time or if it matched the profiles of beers that I like... but this was by far my favorite DIPA ive ever had...it was absolutely amazing and the sheer fact that i just picked it off the shelf was in itself destiny.beautifully balanced with a good amount a malt, good balanced hops and that amazing mix up of the styles. I'm just disappointed that I only tried one twelve ounce... well I'm going back for a six pack... that should be enough to prove to you this is a beer that you must try

Great Divide Titan is my favorite IPA so far. This DIPA convinces me that DIPAs will never outshine IPAs because the alcohol content dulls the aroma and flattens/ sweetens the flavor arc. DIPAs are fad. Besides they are just too much alcohol. I want to drink more beer not get slammed.
12oz bottle into a .5 cyclinder
A: great look. Nice thick white lingering head, long lasting lacing.
S: Not nearly as much as TITAN. So why would I sacrifice aroma for strength and overhopping?
With a March freshness date this beer should be towering, instead the alcohol dominates and masks the grassy hops and malt breadiness underneath. Esters dominate. I feel like I am at the fuel pump.
T: Strong malt backbone balanced by sticky, candied fruit. Overripe pineapple, sugared rind. Missing for me is the grass, pine, outdoors of great IPAs.
I find the hops to be stinging and bitter, but in an over-assertive manner. Not enough counter drama.
MF: full, slick and heavy. Flattish low carbonation combined with too much alcohol, spoils this for me.
Stick with GD's IPAs.

This is the prototypical beer appearance. I mean that in a good (a really good) way. Clear amber with a pillowy white head that sticks around and leaves the glass decorated with everyone's favourite lace this side of your girlfriend's panties.
Nose is almost sweet, with a little yeasty characteristic and a clean green hop profile. Some grass, a decent amount of pine. The sweet draws that to some pineapple as well.
Taste is similar. Less sweet malt, more piney/pineapple-y hops. There's a little astringency towards the end.
Bitter pine sticks around, with a little citrus zest poking its way in as I explore my taste buds.
Smoothe enough to drink.
A solid DIPA, but there are better options available. Certainly worth drinking and judging for yourself, but I'd probably reach for a couple other personal favourites before seeking this one out again.

Poured into snifter; deep glowing orange/amber and cloudy, with a medium loose white head that fades quickly into a tight disc of foam on the top. Smells of sweet malts, and I do detect a bit of nuttiness like the bottle suggested; smells almost like a rye beer. Hops present in the smell are some grassy, and some of subdued sweet citrus. Taste is astoundingly different than any other DIPA I've had. Starts off with some sweet and a bit crackery malts, but then it's a hop show entirely. Big sweet citrus fruits meld into that odd rye-like flavor which I can't quite identify, and finishes bitter. Mouthfeel is big and smooth, alcohol is well-hidden. It's rare to see a unique beer in one of the most popular styles these days, and this one is outstanding.

Slightly hazy yellowish orange with a small, creamy white head. Very refreshing looking.
Fairly subtle fruity hop aromas mixed with some sweet malt. Not the huge kick I look for in the style, but not bad.
Much more hoppy in flavor than in the aroma, but leans more toward the bitter side than anything - but doesn't linger much. Hops definitely pretty complex, with citrusy taking the lead followed by some pine. Really pretty mellow overall with not much of an alcohol presence despite the size.
Moderate body with a lighter carbonation, but with a little bite. Doesn't linger on the tongue. Pretty smooth DIPA.
Much more subtle than I expected - not as huge and complex as I normally like for the style, but a very good beer. This is one of those where you have to watch yourself, since it's so smooth and easy drinking.

The girl's boyfriend beat her with a belt, raped her and tried to strangle her.
All before they had graduated from a Millard high school.
Now in college, she considers herself fortunate. She made it out of the relationship alive.
Each year in Douglas County, two to four domestic violence victims die at the hands of their tormentors — a number so stubbornly consistent, it can't be fully explained by the Domestic Violence Council and other groups.
The vast majority of the homicide victims are adults, as in the Sept. 17 slaying of Trudy McKee, 43, a registered nurse who moved to Omaha several months ago. Her boyfriend, Robert W. Grant, 32, is charged with criminal homicide and use of a weapon during the commission of a felony in connection with the slaying.
But young women embarking on their first relationships aren't immune.
Melissa Rodriguez was strangled Aug. 15 at the age of 19 and left in an open grave in a South Omaha cemetery. Family and friends have said they urged her to end a troubled relationship with her accused killer, Mikael Loyd, also 19. He has been charged with first-�degree murder.
Melanie Koontz's one-time boyfriend, Justin Lenz, pleaded guilty last year to second-�degree murder, admitting he had strangled the Benson High sophomore on May 14, 2012, below a bridge at 78th and Blondo Streets. Both were 16 at the time.
Although these deaths represent the extreme, domestic violence among the young is more prevalent than parents, educators and even teenagers realize, experts say.
Domestic violence among teens is thought to be three times the rate of abuse among adults, said Amy Richardson, executive director of the Women's Center for Advancement, formerly the YWCA. The exact numbers are difficult to determine because young victims are less likely than adults to report abuse to authorities, she said.
But 9.4 percent of high school students reported being hit, slapped or physically hurt on purpose by their boyfriend or girlfriend in the 12 months prior to a national intimate partner and sexual violence survey conducted by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 2010.
RESPECT, an area theater group that focuses on dating violence and bullying, has found higher rates among the Nebraska and Iowa teens participating in its surveys. As many as one in five reported on RESPECT surveys that they had been in an abusive relationship, said Dr. Patricia Newman, a local child psychologist and director of the group. Last year the survey included about 800 teens.
"Teenagers are really vulnerable to their emotional and physical boundaries being crossed into abuse," Newman said. "They believe if their boyfriend or girlfriend is acting that way ... it's because they love them."
If they confide in anyone, it tends to be in other teens, who are equally ill-prepared to deal with abuse, she said.
"Adults usually have other adults that can help them and give them feedback. Teenagers go to their peers, not their parents, for help."
The Millard high school student decided she couldn't go to her parents. They had a rule of no dating until age 17. She was only 14 when she met her boyfriend. So she kept the relationship a secret for nearly two years, lying to her parents that she had sports practices or outings with girlfriends.
When the parents noticed bruises, she blamed them on a sports injury. When her grades slipped, she made up excuses.
"We didn't really get along," she said. "They knew I was being secretive, but they didn't know from what."
In the beginning, her boyfriend was all sweetness and attentiveness. He walked her to classes, showered her with compliments, told her he loved her.
"He made me feel wanted," she said.
So much so that she didn't see it as abuse when he insisted that she spend less and less time with friends. About six months into the relationship, he got mad about the time she spent on her sports. He pushed her against her school locker and put his hands around her neck.
Students standing nearby did nothing, she said. From there, she said, the abuse escalated — and moved behind closed doors.
The student didn't leave the relationship because she "felt like nobody else would ever want me."
She tells her story to area high school students in the hope of helping other victims. She recounts being beaten by a belt. When she refused to consent to sex, her boyfriend raped her, she said.
"I was afraid of him, but he was the only one I had. I lost everyone."
Dr. Mary-Beth Muskin, director of counseling at Omaha South, said young victims aren't identifiable by any particular characteristic. Even if they are involved in school, seem outgoing and confident, and have loving parents, teens can find themselves in abusive relationships, she said.
Educators are legally required to call police if they see or suspect physical abuse. But abusers, even teenage ones, are good at hiding their actions, Muskin said.
So teachers are trained to watch for warning signs. In victims, this includes personality changes, slipping grades, depression, isolation. Warning signs in abusers can include name-calling, anger, jealousy and possessiveness.
"That kind of guy doesn't want an audience," Muskin said. "Usually that kind of guy isn't overt until (the abuse) gets pretty far along."
Omaha Police Sgt. Kim Retzlaff said parents should educate their children on what constitutes a healthy dating relationship. Many abusers were abused themselves.
"If a teen is never told (what's healthy), or it is not modeled for them, how are they to know what is acceptable and what is not?" Retzlaff said.
Richardson, the Women's Center for Advancement director, encourages young women to reach out for help. They need to talk to their parents, friends, guidance counselors, police — anybody trustworthy, she said.
"They have to reach out to someone," Richardson said.
Several agencies, including the women's center, have domestic abuse hotlines for victims who fear coming forward to friends and family.
The center's hotline received 3,218 calls in 2012. It had already received 3,270 calls this year as of late September.
The Millard student finally broke up with her boyfriend at school — in front of students and teachers, in case he got violent. That night, he threatened suicide, so she told him she would go back to him.
The boy dumped her the next day.
"He wanted the control," she said.
The boyfriend is now a college student himself. He's never been criminally charged and could not be reached for comment.
The Millard student later talked about her experience for the first time in a student health class. She said several girls came up to her afterward and said they were in similar relationships.
She also has told her parents. They were upset at first but now encourage her to talk about her experience.
The support helped her move on, but she said it's still difficult. She is embarrassed by the scars on her body left by the belt. Those scars and her emotional scars leave her afraid to date again, she said.
"I think it will always be with me."

In its base configuration, the 2014 BMW 328i xDrive Sports Wagon doesn't justify its price, but its option sheet includes an abundance of performance and cabin technologies.
The wagon format of this powerful 2013 Cadillac CTS-V gives it an undeniable cool factor, while the handling is surprisingly excellent. But outdated cabin tech gives incentive to wait for an updated 2014 model.
A comfortable and practical car boasting decent fuel economy, the 2012 Acura TSX Sport Wagon offers a few high-tech features in the cabin, but the engine and transmission are trapped in the last decade.
In an unexpected marketing move, Audi changed its base A3 model to a sedan in the US, and will sell the A3 five-door hatch as the A3 e-tron, with a plug-in hybrid drivetrain.
Those who use the A-CHESS app are 65 percent more likely to refrain from drinking a year after getting treatment than those who left a treatment center without the app, according to the first large, randomized clinical trial to test this kind of app.
The 2014 Subaru Forester makes some interesting stabs at advanced technology, but its true value still lies in its all-wheel-drive system, fuel economy, and practical interior space.
BMW combines performance technology and the practicality of a wagon in the new 2014 328i xDrive, but too many features can only be had as options.
There is something oddly American about the 2013 Cadillac CTS-V Supercharged V8 wagon, even if you will pay for it at the pump.
The 2013 Audi Allroad combines excellent cabin and performance technology in an all-wheel-drive wagon, making it a car for all seasons and most purposes.
The 2011 Acura TSX Sport Wagon boasts a very practical body style along with a modern cabin tech suite, but the power train doesn't take advantage of recent efficiency innovations.

Wylie Music presents Sparks
Sparks is an American band formed in Los Angeles in 1971 by brothers Ron and Russell Mael, renamed from Halfnelson, formed in 1968. Best known for their quirky approach to songwriting, Sparks' music is often accompanied by intelligent, sophisticated, and acerbic lyrics, and an idiosyncratic, theatrical stage presence, typified in the contrast between Russell's wide-eyed hyperactive frontman antics and Ron's sedentary scowling. They are also noted for Russell Mael's falsetto voice and Ron Mael's keyboard style.
Though the band's long career has seen them successfully pioneer many different musical genres; including glam rock, power pop, electronic dance music, mainstream pop and most recently chamber pop, Sparks have created their own unique musical universe. While achieving chart success in various countries around the world including United Kingdom, Germany, France, and the United States, they have enjoyed a cult following since their first releases. Sparks have been highly influential on the development of popular music, in particular on the late 1970s scene, when in collaboration with Giorgio Moroder, they reinvented themselves as an electronic pop duo, and abandoned the traditional rock band line up. Their frequently changing styles and visual presentations have kept the band at the forefront of modern, artful pop music. They are held in esteem by such bands and performers as Kurt Cobain, Cait Brennan, Dax Riggs, Franz Ferdinand, Morrissey, Arcade Fire, MGMT, Sonic Youth,

The CGS has multiple on-going projects through out the state dealing with all aspects of Colorado geology. These projects include but are not limited to:
Program Manager: David C. Noe

STATEMAP funds awarded to the Colorado Geological Survey (CGS) have helped support detailed mapping of bedrock and surficial deposits in 25 Colorado counties (Chaffee, Clear Creek, Costilla, Delta, Douglas, Eagle, El Paso, Elbert, Fremont, Garfield, Gunnison, Lake, La Plata, Las Animas, Mesa, Moffat, Montrose, Park, Pitkin, Rio Blanco, Routt, Summit, Teller). We have 93.5 1:24,000-scale quadrangles since the program began in 1992, or an average of 5 maps per year.
Geologic maps produced as part of Colorado's STATEMAP program are used by geoscience professionals and by planners and decision-makers at the state, county, and municipal levels of government. Information from these maps is regularly incorporated into decision-making on a wide variety of local and county-wide issues that include identifying geologic hazards, protecting ground water resources, locating new municipal wells, siting waste-disposal facilities, identifying potential aggregate resources, and addressing a broad spectrum of land-use concerns.
CGS is involved in cooperative mapping efforts with two other components of the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program (NCGMP). The USGS (FEDMAP component) uses CGS 1:24,000-scale geologic quadrangles to improve the quality and understanding of geologic relationships for 1:100,000-scale mapping projects. We also work with university professors who propose and conduct EDMAP mapping projects in Colorado. Through these collaborative efforts, we serve each others' needs and enhance the usefulness and value of our mapping.

The Castle Rock Conglomerate is a widespread late Eocene fluvial deposit that forms a prominent caprock on buttes and mesas within the Colorado Piedmont. The unit was deposited in a series of valleys that were cut into the older Dawson Formation, Larkspur Conglomerate and Wall Mountain Tuff. Its matrix consists of arkosic sand to pebble-sized fragments of pink feldspar and milky-white quartz with pebble- to boulder-sized clasts of Wall Mountain Tuff, gray-blue quartzite, granite, and probable Lower Paleozoic sedimentary rocks that become sporadic upward in the unit. Some clasts may reach several feet in length near the base. Overall, the unit is cross-stratified with well-defined troughs that are good indicators of paleocurrent direction. The Colorado Geological Survey, in conjunction with geologic maps created under the National Cooperative Geologic Mapping Program began a study in 2008 to determine its fluvial characteristics, with the main focus being paleocurrent measurements of channel axes. A total of 1551 individual troughs were measured at 167 locations. The data collected included the azimuth of trough axis, inclination of foreset beds, length of axis, maximum width of trough, and largest clast size. Length-azimuth rose diagrams were created for each location and indicate relative current velocities. The preliminary findings include: confirmation of a main trunk fluvial channel that trends S-SE from 6 km E-NE of Castle Rock to southeast of Elbert, three tributary streams that are directed from the W-SW and feed into the main trunk, atypical N-NW paleocurrent directions in the westernmost exposures of one of the tributaries, and confluences associated with these newly documented tributaries. In many areas, in particular, Castlewood Canyon State Park, the Castle Rock Conglomerate is jointed and faulted. Fault offset can be as little as a few inches for individual faults, but when taken cumulatively with other nearby faults, the offset may be several feet. This has implications for Late Tertiary faulting within the Denver Basin and potential compartmentalization of water-bearing rock units.

Twenty-first-Century studies on the first-order controls of Tertiary, epithermal ore deposits in Colorado, appear to support the concept of Lovering (1930), and to raise significant questions about the validity of Tweto and Sim's (1963) interpretation of the controls for their concept of the Colorado Mineral Belt. GIS results of an analysis performed to test these two concepts, strongly support Lovering's concept over Tweto and Sims' concept. Moreover, the results revealed a possible enhancement to Lovering's concept that may aid our understanding of where ore deposits are likely to occur in Colorado.

Through a cooperative grant with the Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission, I mapped a 23 mile long strip map of Upper Cretaceous strata along the Fruitland Fm outcrop in Archuleta Co, CO. This is the last part of the San Juan Basin to be developed for coalbed methane. I managed a team of seven geologists to map 23 miles of outcrop at 1:24,000 scale, collect 22 measured sections of detailed Fruitland coal exposures, and walked and correlated all Fruitland coals outcropping along the way. This data was later digitized using ESRI ArcGIS and ERDAS Imagine software. This northwest-southeast outcrop pattern happens to be parallel to the interpreted Cretaceous shoreline, so the coals mapped are longitudinal length exposures that represent the longest continuous coal outcrops in the entire San Juan Basin. The digital map compilation includes an attributed database of coal thickness, length, rank, clinker, distressed vegetation, along with a map, 4 detailed coal plates, accompanying report, coal analyses (including desorption) from COGCC monitor wells nearby, aerial photography, and detailed measured section cross-sections and coal correlations. All of this data was presented at the 2009 AAPG Annual Meeting in Denver by abstract presentation and poster session. CGS open-file report CD to be published soon in 2011.

This update to the 2002 CGS publication Information Series 64, is intended to provide coal information for all known coal mines that operated in Colorado between 1864 and 2011. There are 1,747 coal mines or prospect pits listed in the database, which describes the coal mine name, location, geologic setting, coal quality data, production, with additional remarks and references. The objective is to provide a complete listing and description of all known coal mines in Colorado for interested citizens, government planners, land owners and resource developers. The publication is a CD and includes an MS Access database and Xcel spreadsheet attributed to GIS shapefiles showing the point locations for over 1,500 coal mines and prospects. ESRI ArcMap data are included. Statewide-scale derivative coal quality maps are also provided. These useful maps show variability of coal quality by mine for ash, fixed carbon, moisture, volatile matter, ash softening temperature, free swelling index, gas explosions, cumulative coal production through 2008, heat value (Btu), and total sulfur. Analyses are based on data from historic USGS coal reports throughout Colorado since 1880. These maps are available as both Adobe pdf format as well as Adobe Illustrator (AI) types of files.

The purpose of this one-year federal grant is to provide USGS with an updated database of CO2 sequestration parameters in all saline aquifer basins in Colorado. The CGS participated in the DOE Southwest Regional Partnership on Carbon Sequestration from 2004-2009. As a result of that study, it was determined that deep saline ( >10,000 ppm total dissolved solids) aquifers provide the best permeability, porosity, and storage potential for CO2 sequestration. The USGS is tasked with attaining a national carbon dioxide sequestration capacity assessment. Using their methodology the CGS is collecting a parameter database to assist the USGS in estimating the potential pore space volume for each designated geographical extent of deep saline aquifers (3,000 to 13,000 ft deep), and their associated cap seal formations. Byproducts of this deliverable will be 13 databases of petroleum provinces of Colorado with attributed data for use in PETRA and GIS projects.

This ongoing cooperative USGS/CGS project involves updating a national coal stratigraphic database for Colorado's coal regions. This project has been ongoing since 1977. To date, there are a total of 137,912 stratigraphic units of data entered, representing 8,467 individual point locations. These points are represented by drill holes, mines, and measured sections of coal collected from coalbed methane wells, coal exploration wells, and other coal research projects. This annual grant is dedicated toward data collection, stratigraphic correlations, and data entry. Additional funding in recent years has been awarded to collect run-of-mine samples at active coal mines in Colorado for trace element chemistry sampling. The CGS is currently concentrating its coal efforts in the North Park, South Park, San Juan Basin, and Raton Basin areas.

This 'once every five year' update publication shows a snapshot in time for electricity generation in Colorado. It is a collection of statistics for natural gas, coal, wind, hydroelectric, and solar energy sources in Colorado. The publication includes a distribution map of coal transportation from mine to power plants across Colorado, and includes maps showing each coal mine in the state. This project will be available in 2011 as a CD product for the first time.
Principal Researcher: Chris Carroll
In January 2010 Chris Carroll was asked by the publishers of Mining Media to contribute a geologic article about the coal geology in Colorado. This was the first time in 8 years the state were able update information to this annual directory. The 12 page document was submitted and published in July 2010. It is an update to Colorado's coal production, reserves, resources, number of miners, coal quality, coking coal, general geology of the coal regions, and stratigraphic columns for each coal region.

Potential Outcomes: Implementation of best management practices that protect and conserve water resources.
The purpose and focus of this study is to identify and promote stormwater management technologies and practices that may be implemented locally to protect and conserve water resources through mitigation of detrimental impacts caused by land disturbances and modifications associated with land development. Naturally vegetated or undisturbed ecosystems produce little to no runoff from the vast majority of precipitation events. While runoff is part of the natural hydrologic cycle, man‐made hydrologic modifications that accompany development have increased the volume of stormwater runoff significantly. Land use modifications, particularly urbanization and agriculture, can alter natural drainage patterns and infiltration that recharges groundwater. Stormwater discharges have emerged as a national problem because both the flow of water and water quality is altered as the land is urbanized or developed. Stormwater has been identified as a leading source of pollution for all waterbody types in the United States.
The final report/manual was written to introduce, educate, and provide general guidance for implementing green stormwater management practices at the watershed, community, and individual lot level. While the manual was developed for Clear Creek County, the concepts, guidelines, and best management practices are applicable throughout the mountain regions of Colorado. It is designed to assist planners, developers, architects, landscape professionals, city and county community development and public works staff, and the public with the selection and design of practices and techniques that facilitate natural recharge of groundwater by mimicking the predevelopment hydrology of the area. The manual provides guidance for practices and techniques applicable to both new development and redevelopment that reduce runoff, promote groundwater recharge, and improve water quality.

Potential Outcomes: Modification of El Paso County land use regulations to protect groundwater quality
The purpose and focus of this study is to execute the scope of work commissioned by El Paso County, through the Groundwater Study Committee, established in reference to Resolution No. 09-202. The subject of the final report is the groundwater quality of the alluvial aquifer within the Upper Black Squirrel Creek (UBSC) basin. The Phase 1 study objectives are to characterize the current groundwater quality in the alluvial aquifer and determine whether there is a correlation between existing and future land uses and groundwater quality.

Funding Source: Water Supply Reserve Account Grant, CGS in-kind match, Lost Creek Groundwater Management District
Potential Outcomes: Identification of potential sites and quantification of storage volumes for underground water storage in the Lost Creek Designated Basin.
The focus of this feasibility study is to evaluate and refine the existing knowledge of the hydrogeology of the alluvial aquifer system in the Lost Creek Designated Ground Water Basin for the purposes of assessing the potential for aquifer recharge and storage implementation. Geographic, geologic, hydrologic, water quality, and infrastructure data will be collected and analyzed to evaluate the recharge potential, storage capacity, conveyance, and water quality characteristics in the study area. The scope of work is tailored to identify select sites or sub-basin areas for potential pilot project implementation.
The objectives of this study are to compile, collect, and analyze hydrologic, aquifer property and water quality data to characterize the ground water resources in the alluvial aquifer and evaluate geographic, infrastructure, land ownership/use information for the purposes of assessing the potential for aquifer recharge and storage implementation. To address the needs of in-basin water rights holders and assist the management district in their decision-making processes, we propose to:
1. Characterize the configuration and extent of the alluvial aquifer within the Lost Creek basin;
2. Compile and present current and historic ground-water levels and water level trends;
3. Characterize the amount of natural recharge and estimate the available storage capacity in the alluvial aquifer;
4. Determine hydraulic and storage properties of the alluvial aquifer;
5. Present the spatial relationship with the underlying Denver Basin bedrock aquifers;
6. Characterize the land use and ownership; and
7. Identify the existing water delivery infrastructure.
The deliverables for this project include both hardcopy and electronic versions of a final report. This report will include descriptive text, tables, figures and map plates. It will also contain appendices of relevant data collected in Tasks 1 & 2. The project will be developed on a GIS platform. The database and layer files generated for GIS application will be maintained by the Colorado Geological Survey and available to project participants, sponsors, and interested stakeholders upon request.

I absolutely loved this course, I really needed this and would recommend it to everyone I know. It was very self enriching,and I feel I could never find another class such as this that will affect my life for years to come in such a positive way. The instructor most definitely gives you the impression that she truly lives by her words. I loved it.
I have really learned a lot and I have been been able to do some beneficial self reflecting. Your course is informative, thought provoking and inspirational! I am seeing a very positive change in how I think about things because of the seeds you have planted. Thank you so much for developing and offering the course. I particularly appreciate that you left all the discussion areas open so we could move through the course at our own pace and still have the opportunity to post our thoughts/results and get your feedback.
I hold a Master's Degree, but I must honestly say that this course has been of greater value to me than all the courses I took in both my undergraduate and graduate programs! This course deals with life and how to live it to the fullest. We only go around once. Let's make the experience as satisfying as possible!
Thank you for this informative and motivating course. Shortly after I began to take the course I decided that I would need to get off many of the prescription drugs I had been put on. Since some could be difficult to go off I researched for support in doing so and found a wonderful program run by awesome people who are fulfilling their life's purpose. I am learning to practice extreme self-care and I am more aware of my desire to be supportive of others in their life's journey. If I get nothing more from the course than this it will be worth so much more than what I paid for it. I feel this decision may have saved my life. Before I started the class and this program I felt it I wouldn't live much past 70 and that the quality of life would be poor. Now I feel much more alive and full of hope for a longer life and better health too.
I think this is some of the best money I've ever spent...I feel so much more in charge of my life. I feel that I know the things I want for myself and I know what I need to do to accomplish those things...I am so glad that your class emphasized taking care of ourselves. I think that's something a lot of people need to hear. It's something I thought I was doing, but wasn't. Thank you for this class and all your comments.
I think that this is the most decisive material I have ever come across for anyone wanting to really get to know and understand who they are. I've read many, many self-help books and none of them have been this in-depth in really helping me to create a happier and more successful life for myself. Cynthia was not only at the end of the tunnel with the 'light', but walked me through from the beginning of the tunnel to the end of the tunnel. I am excited about my new life!
This course has brought light back into my life! My life over the last year has taken a toll on my emotionally and financially. I felt that I was a the lowest point I could be and was praying for someone to make it all change. I knew I was the person that needed to change but I lost the will to do it. This class has put the spring back in my life. I feel more confident and in control...My heart knows what it needs and I am happiest when I listen to it. My relationship with my husband has improved. Work is getting better and I have actually got a raise since starting this course. I am happier and I laugh more.
It was obvious to me the instructor was actually 'listening' to what was being stated in the assignments. I could tell from the feedback there was a real understanding that could only be had by someone who was taking a genuine interest in helping those of us with the course.
If you feel like you are at a crossroads in your life, this is the class to take. The instructor responds to every student's comment with patience. I am now clear about who I am and what I need to be happy. I feel empowered to design a life where I can reach my full potential. You will not regret making this investment to yourself.
This class was a life-changer for me! I got to know myself better and was given tools to make the changes I sorely needed. The instructor was compassionate and encouraging, but still asked questions that made me think! I would recommend this class to anyone!
