Growing Together: Understanding your midsummer garden
I think my daily activities and private conversations with my wife are being monitored.
Vegetable gardening teaches other lessons besides raccoon savvy. I enjoyed gardening so much as a boy, I decided to pay my way through several years of college by raising vegetables and selling them door to door in my hometown of Lisbon, N.D. Lugging washtubs full of cabbage and picking bushels of string beans taught me an appreciation of farmers markets.
Whether at a market, the grocery store or our own garden, how can we tell if sweet corn is at its peak of perfection? It's all about sweetness, and capturing the corn when the sugar content is highest.
First feel the entire husk-covered ear of corn. A ripe ear will be rounded-blunt at the well-filled tip instead of pointed. The "silks," the hair-like strands at the tip, become dry. If you peel back the husks and pierce a kernel with your thumbnail, the juice of ripe corn will be milky rather than clear. (However, if you're caught peeling corn at the supermarket, please don't say Kinzler told us to.)
After corn reaches its peak sugar content, sweetness begins fading, as natural processes convert sugars to starch, which is why past-prime corn tastes chewy and less sweet.
Older, standard sweet corn varieties lose half their sugar content within 24 hours of harvest, which is why the best-tasting sweet corn is freshly picked. Newer "supersweet" varieties have higher peak sugar contents, but also retain their sweetness longer after picking. Refrigeration also slows sweet corn's conversion of sugars to starch. Supersweet types can maintain decent flavor for a week if refrigerated as soon as possible.
Because locally grown, quality sweet corn is readily available, many gardeners don't include it in backyard gardens. Do you know the dollar value of vegetables grown in the average American garden? According to the National Gardening Association, home gardens yield a $500 return above expenses of seeds and plants.
Tomatoes are a must-have in most of these gardens.
Did you escape the early heartache of blossom end rot? The sunken, blackened fruit bottoms are usually worse on the season's first tomatoes, and the plight is caused by the plant's inability to absorb soil calcium. The disorder can be lessened by maintaining even soil moisture, mulching and avoiding root disturbance from close cultivation. The problem usually disappears as tomato plants work themselves out of the situation.
Onions are less challenging than tomatoes, but have you ever wondered how long they should remain in the garden before harvest, once the tops have begun to flop over? Of course, onions can be pulled all summer for fresh use.
From the time the green tops begin to fall over until they are brown and dry, the
bulbs' size and yield can increase 30 to 40 percent. Bulb growth stops when leaves are dead-dry.
If you'd like to store onions, a few key points give maximum life. When leaves are totally browned, wait one week, but not longer than two, before digging. I'll admit I've left onions in until fall, but there is danger of rot or growth restarting. Dig during a dry spell if possible, rather than after rain.
After digging, place onions in the sun for a day to kill and dry the roots at the bulb's base. The next day, spread the onions in shallow containers in a warm, dry, airy location out of the sun. Most garages work fine. Turn bulbs every few days to promote drying.
This "curing" should last two to four weeks. When the outer skin is dry enough to rattle upon handling, onions are ready for long-term storage. Keep as cool as possible – 32 to 40 degrees is ideal.
You'd think simple radishes would grow as easily as onions. But have yours ever grown into all tops with no radishes underneath? Soils too high in nitrogen can be the problem. Most commonly, though, it's a result of planting them too thickly. Radish seed should be planted sparsely – or small seedlings thinned – so plants are 1 to 2 inches apart.
Radishes form best in cool weather. Planting in late April or early May helps them develop before warm weather contributes to the "all-tops, no bottoms" problem.
You can also try a late-summer radish crop as temperatures cool. Lettuce, spinach and kale also make great late plantings.
By August, most of the early-planted greens have "bolted." This doesn't mean they made a mad-dash for the lakes, but rather they send up seed stalks, resulting in bitter-tasting leaves.

Walt Disney World and Disneyland are the latest places to ban the selfie stick.
The ban goes into effect on Tuesday, June 30 at Disney World, Disneyland, Disney World water parks, DisneyQuest, and parts of Downtown Disney. Disney parks in Paris and Hong Kong join the ban on July 1.
"We strive to provide a great experience for the entire family, and unfortunately selfie-sticks have become a growing safety concern for both our guests and cast," Disney World spokeswoman Kim Prunty told the Orlando Sentinel.
Park patrons will be warned of the ban in parking lots and Resorts but no selfie sticks will be allowed past the park gates.
After growing in popularity, the ubiquitous sticks have been prohibited in various tourist attractions through out the world including most historic sites in Rome and various music festival like Outside Lands, Coachella and Lollapalooza. Opponents have raised both safety concerns and that the selfie sticks are in poor taste and ruin other people's enjoyment of locations and events.

City u18s v Crystal Palace: Match preview
City under 18s are back in action on Saturday morning, taking on Crystal Palace at Platt Lane.
Adam Sadler's men will be looking to get back to winning ways after the 3-2 defeat to Fulham at Motspur Park last weekend.
Despite the scoreline, there were many positives for the team to take from the performance – not least the two goal cameo from Aaron Nemane (pictured above) who only turned 15 this week.
Joshua Murray also stepped up from the under-16s to make his debut for the 18s and it will be interesting to see if him and Nemane will retain their places in the squad.
They face a Palace side without a win the league but Sadler will be aware that the Londoners are a dangerous proposition, especially as they've found the back of the net 10 times in five games.
City are third, trying to stay in touch with the West London duo of Fulham and Chelsea who are running away with National Group 3 at present with 100% records.
Saturday's match kicks off at 11am, there will be goal updates on Twitter and a report after full-time.

Game Preview: Celtics at Nuggets
BOSTON – The Denver Nuggets (33-25) will take on the Boston Celtics (41-14) at 10:30 p.m. tonight in Denver without Carmelo Anthony. Interestingly enough, it won't be the first time that happens this season.
Boston won its first contest of the season against Denver back on Dec. 8 in the TD Garden, 105-89, and Anthony did not participate in that game due to right knee inflammation. He won't be on the court for the Nuggets this time around, either, but such is the case for a whole other reason.
Anthony was traded to the New York Knicks on Tuesday – the deal was completed with physicals on Wednesday – along with teammates Chauncey Billups, Shelden Williams, Anthony Carter and Renaldo Balkman. The trade marks a shift to a new era for the Nuggets, who will usher in a boatload of young talent that the Knicks sent their way.
Denver has already played one game in its post-Carmelo era, but that 120-107 win over the Memphis Grizzlies was notched without all of the players included in the blockbuster deal. The new group will be welcomed into Denver tonight against Boston, as Danilo Gallinari, Wilson Chandler, Raymond Felton and Timofey Mozgov will all be available to make their debuts in Nuggets blue and gold.
If we've learned anything since the deal was commenced, it's that a team shouldn't be overlooked simply because it's playing with a new roster. The Nuggets won with a shortened roster on Tuesday, and the Knicks pulled out a win over Milwaukee last night with their new-look team. Those two contests are evidence that the Celtics cannot afford to take this new Nuggets team for granted tonight.
As George Karl said on Tuesday after the trade became public, it shouldn't be too difficult to work these new players into the lineup anyway.
"We have similar philosophies," Karl said of the Nuggets' and Knicks' systems. "They are going to have to get used to our terminology. You don't want to make it too complicated. Playing hard, playing defense and playing together is much more important than the Xs and Os of the next couple practices we have."
As far as when these players will get the opportunity to strut their stuff on the court tonight, we have a slight idea of who will be starting and who will come off of the bench.
Karl has stated that, at least in the immediate future, Ty Lawson will start at point guard over Felton, and that his "gut feeling" tells him that Gallinari will replace Anthony at small forward. Arron Afflalo, Kenyon Martin and Nene will likely round out the rest of the starting group.
No matter who out of the new group starts, the Nuggets will not be lacking experience. It has been said that Denver didn't get market value for Anthony in this trade, but it essentially acquired four starters from its trade partner in New York. Felton and Gallinari have each started in every game they have played in this season, while Chandler and Mozgov have racked up a total of 44 starts as well.
There's no doubt that the Nuggets now possess an infinite amount of depth and the Celtics will be the first team that is forced to deal with it tonight. Denver essentially now has two starter-quality players at point guard (Lawson and Felton), shooting guard (Afflalo and J.R. Smith) and small forward (Gallinari and Chandler). Boston, as currently constructed, cannot make a claim to that type of depth.
The C's were already short on bodies across the board before Kendrick Perkins suffered a mild left knee sprain during Tuesday's win over Golden State. Perk will not play tonight, which means Semih Erden will likely have to be inserted into the starting lineup. That will leave the Celtics, yet again, with no backup center.
Boston also currently does not have a backup small forward, as Marquis Daniels remains on the sideline for the foreseeable future. Delonte West returned to the lineup on Tuesday night for the first time since Nov. 24, but he will serve more as a backup to Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen at the one- and two-guard positions.
The lack of bodies hasn't exactly limited the Celtics this season, though. Only eight of their players have played more than 40 games this season but the team continues to sit atop the Eastern Conference with a 41-14 record.
One of those 41 victories came against the Carmelo-less Nuggets back in December, and we'll see if the C's can replicate that result tonight. This time, though, Boston will be facing a much deeper team, on the road in Denver, that will likely display greater balance.
Starting Semih
It had been quite a while since Erden had played in a game prior to Tuesday night – 16 days, to be exact – and it's been even longer since he got a taste of the starting lineup. Erden has not started since Jan. 27 against the Portland Trail Blazers and hasn't played more than 17 minutes in a game since Jan. 22 against the Wizards.
There's no doubt that the rookie center will play an integral role in Boston's attempt to win tonight's game and the remainder of this four-game road trip. Erden looked a little off on Tuesday night, as he went scoreless and grabbed only one rebound in 17 minutes after his difficult All-Star break travel schedule. He had flown home to Turkey and back to Boston before arriving in Northern California for Tuesday's game. He should be a bit more adjusted to the time zone this time around, and the Celtics have to hope that his body will respond with a strong performance in the starting lineup.
Make Them Uncomfortable
No matter how similar a system might be for new players, it's nearly impossible to be completely comfortable when playing in a new uniform for the first time. The newly acquired Nuggets will be playing in their first game for Denver, and that means the Celtics' vaunted defense will have an opportunity to make those new players sweat bullets tonight.
Boston has one of the best defenses in the league, if not the very best, and can suffocate its opponent's offense when it puts its mind to it. The C's will be playing against a very talented Nuggets roster tonight that possesses plenty of speed and shooting, but Boston can more than keep up. Ball pressure from the Celtics' perimeter players, coupled with physical play inside by the bigs, will keep Denver's players uncomfortable all night long, and that will pay dividends for Boston. However, f the C's allow the Nuggets to get comfortable on offense, this one could turn into a shootout, particularly if the crowd feeds off of solid play from its new-look team.
Avoid Foul Trouble
With such a deep team on the opposing bench, the Celtics simply cannot afford to get into foul trouble tonight. Yes, Denver's new players are playing in their first game, but Karl will have the opportunity to send all four new players into the game at the same time to maintain some offensive continuity. That group would likely be Denver's second unit, which would be a difficult cover for Boston's reserves.
Due to injuries, when the Celtics play deep or great teams, Doc Rivers often has to play his starters extra minutes to make up for the overall talent on the other team. If the Nuggets somehow figure out how to execute at a decent level tonight, Rivers may have to rely heavily on his starters in this game. If they're in foul trouble, he won't be able to do that, and that could come back to haunt the C's in the long run.

This is a big problem, because back then homosexuality was punished as a crime and condemned by society. The book begins with an awkward "all you need to know about sex" talk delivered by a teacher to him as a young boy, setting the tone of heteronormativity and the psychological constraints that Maurice will spend most of the book trying to escape.Many years later, Maurice is a Cambridge student, still average, until he happens to meet [[UpperClassTwit Clive Durham]], who becomes his best friend. Clive eventually confesses his love to Maurice, hoping that Maurice will understand thanks to reading Creator/{{Plato}}. He doesn't. However, after some time to think, Maurice realizes that he loves Clive and they make up, leading to a happy relationship for the next two years. Unfortunately, Clive, who was adamant that their relationship be completely sexless, eventually starts siding more with society's views of homosexuality and decides to drop Maurice and get married to [[VirginityMakesYouStupid Anne]].Maurice, upset and more certain than ever that he wants to be "[[CureYourGays cured]]", sees a family friend, Dr. Barry, who tells Maurice he's talking rubbish and closes the subject. After some time passes, Maurice tries seeing a hypnotist, who tells him there's a small chance he can be cured, but that they can try. Maurice mucks this up phenomenally shortly thereafter by having sex with the [[MrFanservice under-gamekeeper]] at Clive's estate, Alec Scudder. [[LastNameBasis Scudder]] is in fact moving to Argentina in a week, but because Maurice is infatuated, he does his best to persuade Scudder to stay in England, willing to give up his job and social status in order for them to be together. Surprisingly, it has a HappyEnding, defying the EnforcedTrope in literature that any gay relationship had to end in death or tragedy, which is why it was written in 1913 but not published until 1971, a year after the author's death.The book had a 1987 Merchant-Ivory film adaptation which was rather good, starring James Wilby, Hugh Grant and Rupert Graves.----!!''Maurice'' provides examples of:* AdaptationalAttractiveness: The novel describes Clive as not a particularly attractive man, compared to Maurice, who is referred to as being handsome by both his family and Clive himself. In the movie, Clive is played by Hugh Grant, who is quite attractive on-screen.* AdaptationDistillation: The movie adds [[GentlemanSnarker Risley]]'s indecency trial to provide extra motivation for Clive breaking up with Maurice, and it works pretty seamlessly.* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the novel, Scudder is subtly mentioned several times before Maurice actually encounters him. In the film, there is a brief scene early on that only serves to introduce him to the audience as a servant in Clive's house, and call him by name.* BiTheWay: Alec, in the novel, explicitly states that he "cares for" both men and women. One of the first times Maurice sees him is kissing two maids; in fact, he actually envies Alec's ability to interact with the maids so easily, especially since he found them to be very unattractive. This is found as a deleted scene in the film.* BuryYourGays: Averted. Also lampshaded by Forster in a 1960 essay about the book. However, a deleted scene from the film had Risley commit suicide after the above mentioned indecency trial.* ChastityCouple: Maurice and Clive profess their love for each other, but at Clive's insistence they don't have sex.* ClosetKey: In the novel it is explicitly stated that Clive helped Maurice realize his sexuality.* CureYourGays: Maurice goes to a hypnotist to try and turn himself straight, but it fails spectacularly.* DistaffCounterpart: Some view the 1928 D.H. Lawrence novel ''Lady Chatterley's Lover'' as this, which has similar theme (like class difference) and both the gamekeepers are based on the same man.* EarnYourHappyEnding: Maurice is hurt by Clive's rejection, spends a lot of time afterwards believing there's something wrong with him, and when he does find another man who loves him back, they almost break up because they're from different classes and afraid of what society will think. Nevertheless, their leap of faith pays off and they become lovers for life.* TheEdwardianEra: It's set just before the First World War with the feel of a GenteelInterbellumSetting.* EnterStageWindow: Happens in both of Maurice's relationships. He first climbs into Clive's room and later Scudder climbs into his room.* FunetikAksent: The book uses this technique to represent Scudder's lower-class speech, as faithfully rendered in the film.* {{Gayngst}}: The entire book features Maurice struggling with the societal prejudices about sexuality and class which he's internalized, and ends with him finally overcoming his doubt and accepting his true nature.* GreenEyedMonster: Maurice doesn't take his sister's interest in Clive very well. * HappyEnding: An essential aspect of the story, and, as stated above, what made it unfit for publication until long after it was written.* HeldGaze: Happens a few times.* HoneyTrap: The police arrest Risley for indecency using a young man who pretends to be gay to entrap him.* IncompatibleOrientation: In a way, both Clive/Maurice and Clive/Anne. Maurice loves Clive. Clive's sexual orientation is gay, and he's willing to love Maurice platonically, but he believes that sex between two men is wrong and eventually decides to marry a woman instead. * InterClassRomance: After a failed platonic romance with [[UpperClassTwit Clive]], Maurice has sex with the under-gamekeeper at Clive's estate. Their class difference even more than their homosexuality is what nearly stops them from pursuing a real relationship.* LastNameBasis: Alec who is often referred to as Scudder. According to Wiki/TheOtherWiki Forster did this to illustrate the idea of class difference. Maurice and Clive also only refer to each other by last name in school [[spoiler:until they accept that they've fallen in love. The last paragraph of the last chapter of Part One is them saying each other's first names.]]* {{Oxbridge}}: The perfect location for a homo-romantic relationship between school fellows that is [[Literature/BridesheadRevisited doomed to fail]].* PoorCommunicationKills: In hindsight, the misunderstanding between Maurice and Alec after their night together could have been avoided if Maurice had answered Alec's letters and admitted the feeling was mutual, therefore preventing Alec's unnecessary attempt to scare him by threat of blackmail. Granted, Maurice had every right to be nervous about starting a relationship (since Alec '"could'" have ratted him out if he wanted to), but he should have at least responded to Alec as a sign of courtesy.* RealityIsUnrealistic: Some people have criticized the ending as too unrealistically happy, claiming that it would be impossible for Maurice and Alec to maintain a homosexual and interclass relationship in early 20th century England, but Forster actually based them on real-life couple Edward Carpenter and George Merrill who ''were'' able to do just that.* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Maurice basically gives one to Clive at the end of the novel. He criticizes him for being so preoccupied with maintaining his social status that he probably doesn't know if he truly loves Maurice or Anne. He also gets on Clive for trying to convince him to deny his homosexuality, despite the agony that it's clearly caused him, as well as trivializing Maurice's (former) passionate love for him.* SecondLove: Maurice finds love with Alec after loving and being rejected by Clive.* StiffUpperLip: Clive's announcement that he is going to faint in the film.* StraightGay: None of the gay characters, perhaps excluding Risley, are identifiable as such just by their dress or mannerisms.* SuddenlySexuality: Subverted. In the book, Clive decides overnight that he is no longer in love with Maurice and now is attracted to women, having grown out of his interest in men. This is all told to the reader from [[UnreliableNarrator his perspective.]] At the end, it's revealed that only much later that would he realize he was kidding himself. Since this is all internal monologue, the movie opted to make it more obvious that he was just giving up for respectability's sake.* TrainStationGoodbye: Maurice is sent home after disobeying the dean at Cambridge. Maurice and Clive hold hands until their hands are "ripped from one another".* VirginityMakesYouStupid: Anne never got so much as a "LieBackAndThinkOfEngland", making her and Clive's wedding night rather funny.----

As demand grows for humanely grown animal foods, suppliers and government regulations are starting to catch up. Raw sprouts have been considered healthy for years, but the government now advises against eating them as they carry a high risk of foodborne illness; heading in the other direction is coconut, which is increasingly seen as healthy even by more traditional thinkers. A high-fiber diet may exacerbate rather than help diverticulosis. Some prominent doctors have suggested that the added sugars in processed foods and drinks are responsible for so many cases of chronic disease and premature deaths that their use ought to be regulated, just like alcohol and tobacco.

Meat from humanely raised animals Jan-19-12 The Bay Citizen
Among a small group of aware consumers, concern about their meat's origins is growing. Though factory-farmed meat is still the big seller, some shoppers are willing to pay two or three times as much as supermarket prices to guarantee that the animals they eat were raised on organic or foraged food or both, had ample living space and sufficient time outdoors, and were not fed antibiotics or growth hormones.

Sprouts are being served less due to health concerns Jan-27-12 NPR
Sprouts of any kind — alfalfa, clover, radish, and mung bean, to name a few — now rate their own warning page on foodsafety.gov, which notes at least 30 outbreaks of illness associated with raw sprouts since 1996. The government advises to request that raw sprouts not be added to your food.
Turnaround for advice on coconut healthiness Feb-2012 Today's Diet and Nutrition
Science is starting to show that not all saturated fats act the same way in the body. Coconut oil is comprised mainly of medium-chain saturated fatty acids, and while the jury is still out, some researchers believe these have a more neutral effect on heart health when compared to longer-chain saturated fats found in red meat and butter.
Other – fiber and diverticulosis, weird foods, regulating sugar

The number of U.S. food products making a claim such as "meat free" or "meatless" on the package grew 21% to 1,198 last year from two years earlier, according to Innova Market Insights. Makers of meat substitutes are working to more closely mimic the taste and texture of meat, and are looking to appeal to "semi-vegetarians."

User Priorities for Data: Results from SUPER
SUPER, a Study of User Priorities for e-infrastructure for Research, was a six-month effort funded by the UK e-Science Core Programme and JISC. Its aim was to inform investment in order to provide a usable, useful, and accessible e-infrastructure for all researchers and a coherent set of e-infrastructure services that would increase usage by at least a factor of ten by 2010. Through a series of unstructured face-to-face interviews with over 45 participants from 30 different projects, an online survey, together with a day-long workshop at NeSC, we have observed recurring issues relating to the provision of e-infrastructure. In this article we focus on the data-related issues identified during these interactions. We conclude with a prioritised list of future activities for research, development, and adoption in the data space.

Murder-suicide at Wyoming college happened in front of classroom: police
The Associated Press
Published Friday, November 30, 2012 1:25PM EST
Last Updated Friday, November 30, 2012 10:27PM EST
CASPER, Wyo. -- A man wielding a sharp-edged weapon killed a teacher and himself in front of students in a Wyoming community college classroom Friday, causing a campus wide lockdown. The assailant had killed another person elsewhere shortly before the attack at the school, authorities said.
Police found the suspect and the male teacher dead at a science building on the Casper College campus, which was locked down for about two hours, school and police officials said. The other victim was found about two 3.2 kilometres away.
Casper Police Chief Chris Walsh said the murder-suicide took place in a classroom with students present, but he did not know how many students or what the class topic was.
He said investigators do not know the motive for the killings.
Walsh said an "edged weapon" was used it at least one of the killings, but he did not offer specifics, and it wasn't clear if the same or a similar weapon was used in all of the deaths.
The attacker wasn't believed to be a Casper College student and it appeared he knew the victims, Walsh said. He didn't identify the suspect or victims but said the victims were a male and a female.
He added authorities don't believe there is any further threat to the community.
"I want to emphasize that this is a horrible tragedy," Walsh said. "And I want the city to ... just feel safe right now. There is no one at large."
Casper is Wyoming's second-largest city with a population of about 56,000. Wyoming residents refer to it as the "Oil City" because it's a hub for the state's oil industry.
The attack at the two-year community college in Casper occurred while class was in session.
Walsh said authorities evacuated all students and staff from the science building.
The college sent out a campus-wide alert via text message and email within two minutes of receiving word of the attack, school spokesman Rich Fujita said. The lockdown ended about two hours later after school officials received word police were no longer searching for a suspect, Fujita said.
Classes were to resume on Monday.
There are fewer classes on Friday than any other day of the week at Casper College, so only between 1,500 and 2,000 of the college's 5,000 students were there, he said.

Garub and Namibia's Wild Horses
In the early 20th century steam engines on the Lüderitz–Keetmanshoop line had to stop at the railway station of Garub, about 20 km west of Aus, to refill with water. It was pumped from a borehole several kilometres away. Later a watering point was set up nearby for the Wild Horses of the Namib, which roam the vicinity. The horses' origin was the subject of numerous stories for decades.
The results of fresh studies, however, give reason to believe that most of them descended from South African army stock which was dispersed during the First World War, and ran wild. Over the decades the horses have excellently adapted to the harsh conditions of the desert. The watering point, about two kilometres from the tarred road, is a good place to watch them.

It's been my experience that cigar people are some of the nicest I've ever met, and that 'cigar magic' happens whenever they come together to enjoy 'the leaf' with one another.
A fairly short time ago, I once again saw this truth in action. A friend of mine is a blender and brand owner. Her name is Paula Hernandez, and she owns Paula Cigars. Over several months and visits at Cigar and Tobacco (a shop & lounge in Berlin, Connecticut), I've also became friends with Ray, the shop owner, and some of his patrons.
Until last year, I hadn't known Paula or Ray. But over the course of 2016, one cigar at a time, our relationships formed and grew. And now, as with so many other 'brothers & sisters of the leaf' I've met, Paula and Ray seem like old friends.
October 13th, 2016
About two months ago, I was trying to organize a cigar get-together for a bunch of my fellow cigar loving friends, or what we call hanging out – a lime.
I called a friend with the hopes of getting together with him for a smoke, and he told me that he had heard of a new place opening – a cigar bar! I was immediately intrigued. The place is called Old Havana, and I was immediately impressed by it upon my first visit.
Martin Patrick Gastanaga (49) died May 14, 2016 in a tragic motorcycle accident. Martin lived a life of great adventure, excitement, love and laughter. Born June 24, 1966 in Reno, Nevada, Martin was proud to be a fourth generation Nevadan. He spent his childhood in Lake Tahoe, moved to Reno in high school and graduated from Reno High in 1985. He attended UNR but got sidetracked opening his first business, Aztech Cyberspace (which later became Twelve Horses) with his dear friend Jay MacDonald. He held various positions in the technology industry, and was most recently employed with Renown Medical Center.
October 6th, 2016
I began smoking cigars almost three years ago. I'm sure the way in which I got started isn't uncommon. I was driving home, and wanted to relax after a particularly long and exhausting day at work. Then, I saw something. It was sign that said 'Cigar Lounge'. Something just clicked in me. I pulled in.
I walked into the lounge, my heels clacking on the dark wood floor and my laptop in hand, quietly sat down, and ordered a coffee. But I'm an adrenaline junkie. So I looked at the humidor. It was scary and exciting all at once. I ventured in, and immediately fell in love. The humidity in the humidor made my curls three inches bigger, but I took my time. After forty minutes, I had picked my cigar.

The 2016 IPCPR in Las Vegas was probably the most spectacular yet. Vendors and retailers were literally everywhere. It was a great thing that we decided to cover all four days, or we would have missed several interviews with more popular vendors on the floor.
The most encouraging aspect of the show was the overwhelming response of the vendors and retailers to the FDA information seminars. There was standing room only, and some people had to wait outside because the room was at fire marshal capacity.
As for the FDA, the language of its new guidelines, which force manufacturers to get approval for anything released after Feb. 15, 2007, is so vague that a lot of the industry is concerned about what exactly the guidelines mean. At best, it's the FDA trying to get deeper into the pockets of the industry. At worst, it's an aggressive attempt to destroy the industry as we know it.
If you're like me, and neither smoke in the house nor have the disposable income to convert the garage or basement into a 'man cave', the weather is eventually going to force you to find a place to smoke. Fortunately for me, there are several in San Antonio.
Starting with the 'elephant in the room', The Humidor (now Club Humidor) has a shop downtown in the Menger Hotel, the flagship store on San Pedro Avenue, a location at the Shops at Stone Oak, a very nice store at Huebner and Vance Jackson, and the store on Thousand Oaks – the last mentioned being my personal choice on most occasions, as it is closest to my house. Run for years by the Rumbo family (who were up for a Davidoff award at last year's IPCPR), The Humidor is a great example of a brick-and-mortar cigar store.

An article by Nathan Hale with Rob Hahn of HaVé Cigar Company
"Start The Journey!" That's not only the motto on the band of every HaVé cigar, but also something Rob Hahn has personal experience with.
Rob currently owns and operates a cigar shop, factory and cigar rolling school. As a matter of fact, while we were talking, he was actually rolling cigars. Now, this all sounds like a lot of work (and something that may make you cringe to think about any person running). But Ron is doing exactly what he loves and wants to do.
Rob retired years ago. When he did, he was ready to do something else – something he loved. He wanted to make cigars. Within a matter weeks of making that decision, Rob was on his way to, of all places, Alamogordo, New Mexico.

I began smoking cigars in 2007 when my dear friend, Eric, introduced me to a divine Maduro by Rocky Patel. I am a very social person, and I love the camaraderie of cigar culture. The folks who are drawn to cigars like to engage in deeper conversations and in exchanging ideas rather than trivial small talk. Every cigar smoker I have met in my eight years as a L.O.L.A. (Lady of the Leaf Aficionado) has been an educated, well spoken, thoughtful person. Each of these individuals has also maintained a type of laid back cool and zest for life unique to cigar people. Hang around a few of us, and you'll see what I mean.
A fine cigar is a living, breathing work of art, and it is to be savored like anything of similar caliber – be it wine, coffee, chocolate or food. Cigars are a labor of love. From the skilled farmer who grows and cures the tobacco, to the master blender who lovingly chooses leaves for just the right balance and flavor profile, to the torcedor who ensures perfect construction, and finally to you and me (consumers who treasure that smoke like a wide eyed kid at Christmas), it's all about love. Cigars are like relationships. They must be treated with respect, maintained and cared for in order to retain their qualities.
