Abbe Land of the Saban Free Clinic to Begin March 2012
West Hollywood, CA (Jan. 31, 2012) – Today, The Trevor Project announced the selection of its new Executive Director and CEO, Abbe Land, following an extensive nationwide search. Land, a recognized and respected health care professional, brings an impressive history of ensuring care to under-represented populations. She will begin her tenure in March with The Trevor Project, the nation's leading provider of crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth. She succeeds David McFarland who has served in an interim role since April 2011. McFarland will continue as interim executive director and CEO through the transition.
"We are excited to have Abbe Land join The Trevor Project as the new executive director and CEO. Abbe brings an exceptional skill set as an effective organizational leader, a visionary in providing support to under-served populations and as an elected official," said Ricky Strauss, Interim Chair of the Board of The Trevor Project. "Her experience in assisting youth and being an advocate for LGBT issues will fortify The Trevor Project and those who depend on its services."
Land comes to The Trevor Project having served as co-CEO of The Saban Free Clinic in Los Angeles since 2003. During her tenure, she co-led the Clinic's growth from a $6 million to a $16 million budget, including the opening of two new clinics and the building of a $22million endowment. She oversaw all aspects of Saban's operations ensuring integration of physical and mental health; providing medical, dental and mental health services to over 21,000 patients annually; and managing a full-time staff of 140 with more than 300 volunteers.
Land brings a wealth of public policy knowledge to The Trevor Project as a longtime elected official who champions the needs of youth. She has served the City of West Hollywood from 1986-1997 as a council member and was elected twice as mayor. She was re-elected to office in 2003 and is currently serving a 4-year term, having won re-election in March 2011.
"I am honored to have been chosen as executive director and CEO of The Trevor Project, one of the most crucial and critical organizations of its kind in the world," Land said. "The work of helping to prevent suicide among lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth is of paramount concern and importance to a community I care deeply about."
In her new role with The Trevor Project, Land will be responsible for strategically managing and growing the organization's $5 million budget with responsibility for all operations of the organization. Land will also serve as the lead executive and chief ambassador for The Trevor Project supporting the organization's life-saving mission and vision.
She steps into the role following ten months of growth under McFarland's leadership. In that time, The Trevor Project's budget grew from $2.2 million to $5 million, with a program investment of 81% in FY2011, (compared to 70% in FY2010). The organization has been recognized by the White House as a "Champion of Change" in suicide prevention; has gained an expanded role within the National Action Alliance for Suicide Prevention; and has worked with the U.N. Commission on Human Rights to improve lives of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth worldwide.
Addressing McFarland's stewardship of the organization as an interim executive director, Strauss said, "We at The Trevor Project extend our heartfelt thanks to David McFarland, who has been instrumental in increasing our presence and profile on a national level among donors and supporters. His work has made Trevor's life-saving services known to LGBT youth throughout the country. We are grateful that he will continue to guide the organization during this exciting transition period."
The Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and questioning young people under 24. Every day, The Trevor Project saves young lives through its free and confidential lifeline, in-school workshops, educational materials, online resources and advocacy. Honored by the White House as a "Champion of Change," The Trevor Project is a leader and innovator in suicide prevention. Learn more at TheTrevorProject.org.

I, like my friend over at Kelly Green, had the good fortune last Monday to visit the gardens of interior designer, Stuart Rattle, and landscape designer, Paul Bangay as a fundraiser for a local kindergarten. The weather was not ideal - it rained, it hailed, it shone (briefly, just before we got on the bus to go home), but what a treat it was to see those gardens at the peak of their autumn flourish.
Stuart bounced onto the bus, dripping, and gave us a quick talk about his garden before we braved the rain and scuttled into his cosy kitchen for morning tea. He has a charming and interesting garden, in which he clearly has done much of the work. His passion is evident and his knowledge of the huge variety of plants was extensive.
It was actually hailing when we got to Paul Bangay's garden, which is newer and also very interesting. There were miles of tapestry hedge...
the ubiquitous box,
pleached hornbeams,
a flourishing veggie garden,
and a lovely view.
It was generally very structured and had lots of garden rooms and over time will probably grow into the landscape a bit more. I think I liked this spot the best
which was a bit more open and flowing and suited the country landscape, with the towering gums in the background.
All in all a wonderful day which was beautifully organised, and I have returned home inspired to get into the garden.

MONROE — The East Surry Cardinals lost by a score of 53-0 last night against the Monroe Redhawks during the second playoff round of varsity boys football.
Cardinals Head Coach David Diamont said the Redhawks were the best team the Cardinals had played against this year.
"We played very hard, but they were just better," he said.
"The Redhawks continually re-established the line of scrimmage on their side, played physical, and had a great secondary," he said. He further defined their line defense and offense, as both "big and strong."
The Cardinals completed the season with a 6-7 record overall.
The number-two-seeded Redhawks will play the number-one-ranked Mount Airy Bears on Friday during the quarterfinals playoff round.

Hi guys In the process of hopefully purchasing an s2000 - selling my cv8 monaro for something a little more practical that can be driven every day (small, agile and fuel efficient) Just a quick question which has probably been asked 1000 times before (however I can't seem to utilise the search bar on my iPad) - where can I get an oem ap1 front lip from? Not eBay as most are replicas. Cheers
I can supply with brand new OEM or high quality OEM carbon replica. PM for further details

"Pakistan needs a leader who takes seriously both the threat of radical Islam and the challenge of economic development," said Sadanand Dhume in an opinion piece published in The Wall Street Journal, a conservative newspaper, on Friday.
"Imran Khan is not that man," he added.
Discussing the recent Pew poll results, which, among other elements, showed that the cricketer-turned-politician was the most popular leader in the country, Dhume wrote, "Chronic anti-Americanism in Pakistan signals a deeper malaise. In a stinging rebuke to President Asif Ali Zardari's four-year-old government, nine in 10 Pakistanis say they're dissatisfied with the direction in which the country is headed. Though the military has ruled Pakistan for 34 of its 65 years, bankrupted the treasury and tarred Pakistan's reputation, more than three-quarters of those polled call it a good influence. About the same proportion hold an unfavourable view of neighbouring India."
"This disquieting news works to the advantage of one man: 59-year-old cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan. His 72 per cent approval rating — up from 52 per cent just two years ago — is enough to give any rival heartburn. Even with the caveat that rosy poll numbers don't always translate into actual votes, Imran Khan's prospects appear bright.
"At first blush, it's easy to see why so many Pakistanis are eager to embrace Mr. Khan. Not counting nine years of military rule by Pervez Musharraf, most of the past quarter century of democratic politics has been dominated by two families: the Bhutto-Zardaris of Sindh and the Sharifs of Punjab. Battered by charges of graft and mismanagement, Zardari has seen his approval rating fall to 14 per cent. Nawaz Sharif, whose last government was overthrown by the Army in 1999, fares significantly better, but nobody's about to mistake him for a breath of fresh air.
"With his craggy good looks and reputation for personal probity, Mr. Khan presents a contrast. For some in the middle class, the Oxford-educated Mr. Khan offers a reminder of happier times—of a confident Pakistani elite at ease in the world before economic decline and the rise of fundamentalism took their toll. In a rudderless land, the image of Mr. Khan leading Pakistan to a fairy-tale triumph in the 1992 Cricket World Cup is etched in the national memory.
"Nobody ought to begrudge Pakistan a way out of its present mess, but Mr. Khan offers less a solution to Pakistan's pressing problems than a window into its delusional politics. He blames America, specifically for the war on terror, for the rise of radical Islam in Pakistan and advocates the same approach toward the world's sole superpower favoured by hardline elements in the military...
"Framing America as the source of Pakistan's problems goes hand-in-hand with Mr. Khan's proposed kid-glove treatment of terrorists. For him, the Taliban are not medieval savages intent on imposing a primitive version of Islam on an unwilling population; they are merely misguided brothers in faith,"he wrote.
"Mr. Khan's economic message also doesn't inspire confidence. His pledge to end all corruption in Pakistan within 90 days of coming to office seems absurd even for a politician in campaign mode.
It's too early to tell whether Mr. Khan will be elected to lead Pakistan, much less whether circumstances will force him to temper his ideas.
Meanwhile, however, he would do well to consider another sobering fact from the Pew survey. Majorities or pluralities in six of seven countries polled—including 'all-weather friend' China and Muslim-majority Egypt, Jordan and Tunisia—hold a negative view of Pakistan. To change this, Pakistan needs a leader who takes seriously both the threat of radical Islam and the challenge of economic development. Imran Khan is not that man,"he added.

Jefferson County to Become Certified WorkReady Community
The initiative empowers counties and states with data, process and tools that drive economic growth.
Editor's Note: The following information was submitted by Jefferson College as it relates to the Jefferson County Certified WorkReady initiative.
Missouri Department of Economic Development and the Missouri Workforce Investment Board officials announced Jefferson County is one of 14 counties in the state approved for "Certified WorkReady Community in Progress" status.
The initiative empowers counties and states with data, process and tools that drive economic growth. Participating states are leveraging the National Career Readiness Certificate (NCRC) to measure and close the skills gap. The initiative also builds common frameworks that link, align and match workforce development efforts.
Jefferson County will achieve "Certified WorkReady County" status when it reaches the benchmark goals established by ACT for the number of people obtaining certification and the number of businesses signing letters of support for the initiative in Jefferson County. ACT is a non-profit public trust dedicated to helping people achieve education and workplace success.
The focus of Missouri WorkReady Communities is on the NCRC, which is achieved by taking the ACT Work Keys assessment—a test that measures applied skills in seven areas. However, most companies focus on the three most critical foundation skills to being work ready: reading for information, applied mathematics and locating information.
The certificates are awarded at four levels based on an individual's performance on the assessments. The highest is platinum skills for 99 percent of the jobs in ACT's extensive database of occupational profiles, gold for 90 percent, silver for 65 percent and bronze for 35 percent. Achieving one of these levels will give individuals a competitive advantage over other applicants in the job search process, and the test results will greatly help employers in hiring, selection and training of new employees.
The Economic Development Corporation of Jefferson County Executive Director Patrick Lamping and County Executive Ken Waller, in partnership with the Jefferson-Franklin Workforce Investment Board and local Office of Job Training, Director Shirley Wilson Director, have provided leadership in supporting the NCRC and CWRC initiatives in Jefferson County.
Jefferson College has emerged as a leader in the state of Missouri with regard to the implementation of Work Keys and the NCRC to improve student retention and success. Jefferson College was the first community college in the state to use Work Keys as an assessment of general education outcomes for all career and technical education graduates to provide students with an industry recognized credential upon graduation which provides students with a competitive advantage in the job search process.

Port Ewen Venues

By choosing a party venue early, you'll be able to ensure you find a wonderful venue in Port Ewen on the date you want it. For weddings and larger events, it is especially important to book early as popular party locations fill up quickly. You'll also need to determine the size of your guest list and the feel for the event.
Deciding on the formality of the event along with the size is an effective way to narrow down Port Ewen hall from which to choose. Hotels and banquet halls are suitable for large weddings, but couples may want to get more creative and personal. Vineyards provide natural scenery, while museums offer dramatic settings. Country clubs are generally formal, but can be dressed down for a smaller, more casual affair like a baby shower. Parks and beaches are excellent for more low-key events like Father's Day barbeques because they allow space for family activities.

Is America losing its edge? This was the rather depressing subject of this year's Aspen Forum, the annual event put on by the DC-based Technology Policy Institute. Attracting speakers as illustrious as former HP CEO Carly Fiorina, Intel CEO Paul Otellini, Verizon EVP of Public Policy Tom Tauke, Intuit CEO Brad Smith, the author the National Broadband Plan Blair Levin and Linkedin co-founder Reid Hoffman, the event focused on the public policy side of technology, addressing the political challenges of making American technology companies more competitive in the 21st century global economy.
It's perhaps appropriate that the event was held at Aspen's St Regis hotel up in the breathlessly high altitude of the Rockies. For all the broad public policy challenges facing the technology industry, the persistent issue in many of the discussions here – what Verizon's Tom Tauke described as the "elephant in the room" – is the unresolved Network Neutrality issue. As Tom Sugrue of TMobile remarked, the network neutrality issue is "sucking the energy out of all the other issues. Sugrue is correct. This issue – defined by the often byzantine and seemingly endless public debate between the carriers, the FCC, Congress, technology companies and the pro network neutrality lobby – is threatening to derail the longer term challenges to American edge in the global technology marketplace.
At Aspen, I interviewed a number of leading policy makers, entrepreneurs and senior figures in the telecom industry to discuss technology policy, American competitiveness, broadband policy, and, of course, network neutrality. Most of these conversations were frank and, at times, depressing. If America is indeed losing its edge, it's clear that policy makers aren't exactly sure how to reestablish this competitiveness in a 21st century global economic environment entirely foreign to that of the 20th century.

750ml, August 2012
Hill Farmstead wine glass
A: Pours almost clear light amber orange color. Nice carbonation. Good cap of full finger white fluffy head. Leaves some sticky lacing sheeting.
S: Nice barnyard funk on the nose. Getting some peppery spice notes as well. Grassy hops. Grainy malts.
T: Nice peppery spice on the tip of the tongue. Meshes nicely in the mid palate with the barnyard funky flavors. It's actually mildly sour, which is very nice. Finish is dry and crisp and refreshing. Not bone dry like lambic or anything.
M: It's medium bodied but drinks lighter because of the good carbonation.

Hazy rusty orange with a tall white head, leaving a thin layer of carbonation after it dissipates.
The smell is funky yeast, pumpkin spice, and a slight metallic smell.
The taste is tart, pumpkin spice (I keep picking this up and was not expecting it,) lemon, and yeasty.
Mouthfeel is heavily carbonated, dry, and tart.
I've only had a couple but really dig the saisons that come out of HF.

A~ dark burnt orange with lots of head and nice lacing
S~ lots of yeast, herbs, and Belgium. (yes it tastes like the country lol)
T~ here's where it really opens up, light tartness, lots of pepper, citrus, apples, pears, you name some flavor in a saison its probably got it! funk and yeast on the finish.
M~ lots of carbonation, little bit creamy and goes down smooth leaving you with the tartness all the way through.
O~ very good, what i would call a Belgium saison, definitely would drink again but would prefer a stand alone HF saison. still working my way through their saisons/wilds and hope to try them all (hahah yeah ok...)

750ml bottle poured into a Duvel tulip.
A: Pours a red-amber color with great clarity. Four fingers worth of rocky white head makes itself a permanent fixture. A thick blanket of lacing coats the whole glass. An impressive beer to behold.
S: Yeast driven aroma, as would would expect of the style. Very peppery, hit of clove and garden herbs. Musty and rustic. Hint of tartness. Fruity scent of apricot and peach. Doughy and nutty malts with a slight toasty and bready impression.
T: Pleasing tartness greets the tongue first. Pear, peach, apricot, and green apple skin. Musty and funky, though not as much as the nose would lead you to believe. Rustic and dusty, like an old book smells. Bready and toasty malt tastes far in the background. Hit of clove. Black pepper toward the finish. Tartness fades and musty and nutty yeast rides it out into the finish.
M: Medium bodied. Light but sharp effervescence. Somewhat creamy, though it does feel overly foamy in the mouth.
O: A pleasant surprise. Sankt Hans shows a good balance of refreshing tartness and rustic barnyard character. You don't often come across a saison like this brewed on American soil. In fact, I can't say that I ever have. An easy drinking, refreshing summer quencher and a complex thinking man's beer rolled into one.

A: Pours a hazy golden amber in color with some orange highlights and moderate amounts of visible carbonation. The beer has a three finger tall foamy light beige head that slowly reduces to thick medium sized cap in the center with a thin ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Overall the aroma of this beer is pretty yeasty - moderate aromas of peppery spices and some grassy barnyard funk. There is also a lighter aroma of some tart fruits including apple, apricot, and lemon/citrus.
T: Light amounts of grassy barnyard funk/hay with some light amounts of grainy malt and peppery/spicy yeast. Light to moderate flavors of tart fruits - apple, apricot, and lemon/citrus.
M: On the lighter side of medium bodied with moderate to heavy amounts of carbonation. Slight amounts of acidic prickliness. Light amounts of dryness in the finish.
O: This is a very interesting and tasty brew - one I definitely would have again. I enjoy the light funkiness and I found this one pretty easy to drink.

Thanks to John11486 for sharing this one at my tasting.
Bottled 8/2012. 1,600 bottles.
Pours a murky orange-brown with a foamy beige head that settles to a film on top of the beer. Small dots of lace form around the glass on the drink down. Smell is of malt, grain, fruits, yeast, and a mineral-like aroma. Taste is much the same with a slight tartness to it. There is a mild amount of mineral bitterness on the palate with each sip. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is a good beer that is tasty and easy to drink.

Thanks to Moll for sharing this. Served in Hill Farmstead stemware. Pours a moderate brown color. Great lacing. Light bready malt with some earth. Touch of fruit. Extremely dry finish. Bit of white pepper. Mouthfeel is the best aspect of this. The nose and flavor are more biere de garde, with the mouthfeel all saison.

Split a 750 ml, August 2012 1,600 bottles.
A: pours a dark amber with some brown goes and almost two fingers of creamy white head after a gentle pour. Excellent retention And some nice lacing.
S: yeasty and tart, with some light notes of grassy barnyard funk. Some apple and citrus notes as well. Pleasant aroma, the tartness reminds me of Arthur. As the brew warms I begin to get an odd almost plasticy aroma... Kinda strange.
T: very similar to the nose, that tartness is dialed up a bit adding a nice lemon to the mix... Nice citrus, notes of apple , light grassy barnyard funk... Then again as the beer warms instant getting a very strange plastic note, overall the brew is still very tasty, but that part was odd.
M: nice lush and creamy, very nice medium carbonation.
O: this was a good brew, I love the tartness that hill farmsteads yeast contributes to their saisons, the only down side here was the strange plasticness. It wasn't prominent to throw off the entire beer, but it would have been better without it.

Thanks to Orangesol for sharing. 750ml bottle into a snifter. The brew appears a clear yellowish amber color with a big white head that is slow to fade. As the cap dissolves, it leaves a coating of lacing effext on the glass in a webby pattern.
The smell is funky with carbonic and mineral quality. Somewhat lactic almost lemony in character mixed with citrus fruity character. There is a pretty strong phenolic charcwter emitting like plastic but it is faint enough that the enjoyable citrus aspects overwhelm
The taste is fruity and rindy with that previously mentioned phenolic aspect that really drives home the saison yeast attributes. There is some herbal notes of earthy hops that provide just enough bitterness to contrast the bready grain base.
This is a medium to light bodied brew with an effervescent level of carbonation. Overall it started off pretty promising but in the end was a decent to average made saison. Id drink it again if the opportunity presented itself but wouldnt buy a bottle.

750ml bottle purchased at Hill Farmstead and poured into HF glass. August 2012 brew date, limited to 1600 bottles.
A- Pours a translucent dark reddish brown amber with lots of fast rising carbonation bubbles and a big white foamy 4-finger head that has excellent retention and takes forever to recede coating the glass in thick foamy lacing. Towards the bottom of the bottle a build up of yeast makes it a little bit more cloudy.
S- Yeasty and lightly tart with some light grassy farmhouse-like grains and malt undertones. Fairly aromatic and very reminiscent of Arthur due to the yeasty and tart qualities.
T- Yeasty with a nice tartness and some light grassy farmhouse qualities. Finishes with a tart yet sweet lemon taste that pleasantly lingers on the palate for awhile. Nicely balanced.
M- Nice carbonation, goes down very easily, a bit too dry but a very clean finish.
O- I wasn't sure what to expect from this being a fairly experimental amber saison collaboration brew. I was pleasantly surprised and amazed at how much I actually liked this brew. It had a nicely balanced tartness to go along with a pleasant lemon sweetness. I would highly recommend this to any saison fan especially if you like Arthur.

Pours a dark, clear golden with a low white head. The smell is peppery, with some herbal and floral notes and a little graininess. The taste is mild pepper up front, some biscuit quality in the middle, and a tang of hops in the finish. It's highly carbonated, very smooth. Easy to drink - very nice.

Poured into a wine shaped glass. There is a large foamy pearl colored head atop an amber-just darker than golden color.
The aroma has some mellow grassy hops blending with some musty, slightly peppery yeast. There is a lot of earthiness in the aroma. This is very dirty.
The taste starts out a little tart. There is a little bit of caramel sweetness. The earthiness is evident in the taste; developing into a very rubbery, band-aid like taste. About halfway through my glass, the tartness becomes subdued and this just starts to taste dirty.
This is medium bodied, with strong carbonation. I like this one. It finds its way into the farthest, dirtiest, brettiest corner of the beer flavor wheel and asserts its flavors strongly.

Another bottle generously shared by Chris (spycow). Served in a Hill Farmstead tulip.
A - A few fingers of white foam settles to a thin cap, leaving behind lots of lacing. Hazy dark orange-amber body.
S - Interesting and complex aroma. The farmhouse yeast is phenolic, and perhaps a touch dirty and funky, but strangely appealing. Light pepper, hand lotion, with some under-ripe apricot and vinous flavors in the periphery.
T - The taste is a touch more understated, with more toasted grains. It's again a tad vinous; sufficiently so that I was curious if this was oak-aged. Less sweet, although the stone fruits come out as it warms up a bit. Yeast is less phenolic and funky, with some mild pepper showing up in the finish.
M - Medium body, dry texture, clean finish. Pleasantly soft and creamy carbonation - feels like a Hill Farmstead offering.
D - A nice amber Saison. Nothing mind-blowing, but has sufficient depth and no flaws to it. I enjoyed that it was a sub-6% beer that had potent and complex flavors going on. Would happily drink this one again.

This was brewed at, and in collaboration with, my favorite brewery, Hill Farmstead. Not sure why this isn't referenced as a collab. Also met these guys at The Festival, great guys, great beers, so this should be awesome. Shared with rudzud.
Big fluffy head hits a few fingers then fades at a med pace, nice lacing, very hazy copper mahogany orange brown color.
Nose has plenty of farmhouse and light barnyard funk, light cut grass, wet hay, light Belgian malt, saison, gritty malt and grainy, little lemony and slight yeasty, quite funky, hint orange zest and earthy.
Taste starts with earth, I don't mean earthy I mean like soil right from the farm. Lots of yeast, farmhouse funk, grainy malt, some saison malts, light saison spices, hint of lemony and orange peel citrus. Wet hay, cut grass, fermented straw, slight taste of chewing on the floor of the barn. Light sweet malt, little Berlinerweisse like lemony funk. A hint if amber toasty brown malt, and some creaminess maybe oats or lactose. Light acidity but smooth and rich. Finish is dry but light, lingering funk and grainy malts, more earth and dirt, more yeasty flavor and lemon.
Mouth is med bodied, interesting creamy feel with many little bubbles, the carbonation is interesting.
Overall really interesting, can't call it great, but it's not that bad. Weird flavors and funk, very complex, nice Berlinerweisse flavors, very earthy. Although really tasty, not sure if I could finish the entire 750ml by myself so I'm glad I got to share this with Matt.

Picked this up at the recent Hill Farmstead Harvest Festival. Have yet to open but now seems like a good time.
Pours a light amber/brown color with a thin head into my glass. The color matches as it should.
Spicy notes from the yeast punctuate a malt bill that leans more toward sweetness than anything else. Funk-like character without the actual funk.
There's just one problem with that last line: There certainly is some funk! Apple and cherry stand out along with sweet, chewy malt.
Again, the unique texture of the malt adds character to this brew. It's all that lingers at the back of the mouth. Fairly clean finish.
Ok, I'm most certainly not a homer (someone who reviews local beers higher than usual). This is highly drinkable once you get past the first sip. It's all about character and drinkability and this beer nails both.

Thanks to JLindros for sharing this bottle.
A - Poured a hazy dark honey hue with a two finger white head that fades to leave light lacing and a thin blanket.
S - Aromas of tons of funk and a light creaminess here. Very pleasant and inviting.
T - Taste really is opposite of the nose. Light chocolate and cream with strong funk and some faint citrus. Tons of funk and cream.
M - Mouthfeel has lots of carbonation but is almost still creamy on the tongue. The sharp carbonation really adds to this beers uniqueness.
O - Overall I really enjoyed this beer. Like this everything worked out

Bottled one time.
Not a very inviting beer. Ruddy, gnarly dirty clay look with a thick quilt of loose light tan foam. Smells like co2, soil, grass and a hint of metal. Maybe some manure. Flavor is light a really tasty lacto innoculated saison with some hints of grain and apple. The beer is crispy and light with an enigmatic staying power to the finish. I'm surprised and delighted by this one.

Grabbed a bottle at the hill farmstead harvest festival
A- a cloudy amber body with an orange glow and white foam all over the glass.
S- a dry scent with some spicy properties layering over some tart fruit tones. A little lemon scent lingers at the end of the scent
T- very dry and tart flavor mesh well with a clove and spicy note. Some sweet flavors actually balances out the flavor and allows some herbal components to shine through
M- carbonation is precise enough to leave smoothness and lingering tart flavors
O- a good amber saison that is not only tart with flavor, but smooth
with the other flavor properties. Good sweet flavor on the back end

Purchased a bottle of Sankt Hans at the Hill Farmstead Harvest Fest.
The beer pours a cloudy copper color with a big, frothy white head on top. The foam dissolves slowly leaving behind a coating of lace on the glass.
The aroma is fruity and spicy. Notes of apple and banana blend nicely with clove and pepper.
Each sip of this medium to full bodied beer is very smooth and soft with mild carbonation. The flavor begins sweet with caramel malt, grapes and a little apple. The middle has a touch of clove and it finishes bready with moderate fruity tartness. Once gone the spice and fruity tartness lingers on the palate.
This is a very tasty, full flavored beer with a terrific mouth feel.

Rare tick, thanks Mac!
Tons of head up top. Super malty/bready aroma, banana esters initially too. Fades to a more spicy, yeasty, traditional aroma. Strange.
Not much in the taste to separate it from other saisons. Intensely bitter yeast in the finish. A decent saison, I suppose, but nothing special.

$7.00 for 10oz, served in a tulip
Sampled 08NOV12
[A] Arrives with a puffy finger high head, snow white in color, compact/foamy in texture. Lacing in sheets. The body is medium-light brown and much darker than expected. Somewhat out of character but it is, after all, labeled as an Amber Saison.
[S] Herbs and spices hit the nose. A little mint-like with a light menthol/wintergreen thing going on. To make this experience even more unexpected, I get some candied ginger and nutmeg. Or something in the same family of spices. It's basically a hard-to-discern- combination of 2 or 3 pumpkin pie spices. Minus the cinnamon. Outlandish. But, oddly, rather enjoyable.
[T] Pure bubblegum on the flavor. Whatever the old school gum is with the yellow, blue and pink twisted wrapper (Anglo Bubbly?). Herbal mixed with earthy fall-themed spices. Either this beer was spiced, or this yeast strain had a field day during fermentation. Again, pretty enjoyable.
[M] Medium-light body, with a somewhat coarse texture and a crisp snap on the finish. Very dry.
[O] Nothing short of intriguing. I thoroughly enjoyed the glass but 10 ounces was perfect. A second glass could be a worthy challenge. [EDIT] Reading the other reviews, my experience was NOTHING like the others, which were all bottle servings, so I imagine that is the biggest contributing factor.

3…2…1…Happy New Year! Every New Year seems to start with a new resolution, but does a New Year mean a new you? Certainly not, but for many it means a time to make a change in one aspect of your life. Remember a New Year's resolution should be about you or a cause that you care about.
Stay on track with these Payless Pointers:
- Set realistic goals. It goes without saying that most New Year's resolutions are easier said than done— especially if you set the bar too high.
- Don't overload yourself. It's difficult enough for the average person to follow through on one ambitious New Year's resolution, so why bombard yourself with three or four? Trying to do everything simultaneously is a recipe for failure. Pick the most pressing issue at hand, and if you achieve one resolution, pat yourself on the back and move onto the second. You have a whole year to reach that resolution, there's no need to rush the process.
- Get friends and family involved. The more people you announce your resolution to, the more people there'll be to pick you up if you fall behind. There's no shame in seeking support if you can't accomplish your resolution on your own.
- Lastly, don't sweat the small stuff – set realistic goals, and work towards achieving them. Let 2009 be the year to take action.
Happy New Year 2009 from the Payless Family to yours!

love the underpants. I like the "band" around the top. Doesn't look so much like a granny pantie even though it gives full coverage. The one thing I wish the mfg would quit doing, and I have complained about this before, they place a sticker on the panty which is hard to remove, the glue stays on the panty and when you wash and dry, the glue attracts lint, etc. PLEASE STOP PUTING THE STICKER ON THE PANTIES] Maggie from Lexington KY

Lumetrics is the recipient of a grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop and produce the pocket-sized device.
Researchers say this product will revolutionize the methodology for routine examinations of the back of the eye.
Lumetrics received a $973,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health to develop and produce the compact Fundus camera. This cutting edge technology is entering its second phase aimed at developing optical, mechanical, electronic and image analysis aspects of the camera.
"Cutting edge because we are able to put optics designs into small packages and you can design and make it right here in Rochester. It's going to be at a price point that we can get it into a general practitioners office and maybe even into inner city clinics in the future," said John Hart, Lumetrics CEO.
The grant will enable Lumetrics to add seven new positions over the next two years as it works to get the compact Fundus camera to market.

When Crise Total was put on hold for the 1st time in the end of '88 as the band members were trying new soundz and all of them were now also a bit tired of 5 years of constant up-tempo beats it was decided then to find a new name for a new project and when the time came,if it came they could always get back to their roots,meaning Crise Total,after a debate between the main band members the band settled on PROFILAXIA(from the greek word meaning to prevent or to combat something).The sound itself was more akin to Post-Punk but as usual they werent too concerned with labeling the sound as to putting the same message across as previously(mostly the Anarcho-pacifist cause) but this time round with a slightly different and slower sound.Profilaxia didnt last that long,in fact Manolo left for other pastures after just one year and the band persevered 'til '92/'93 but it was obvious that without the original front-man things werent meant to last and they didnt,as a record of their short existance a couple of live gigs were recorded at that famous Lisbon venue(Rock Rendez-Vous) and already after Manolo had left the band a few 4-track demos were done with his replacement(Rui Mofreita) and a second guitarrist was also absorbed into the band.On the player we'll have a couple of the live tracks and one of the 4-track songs.

You may have seen them - billboards popping up in certain neighborhoods warning of voter fraud. Some say the message is voter intimidation. Opponents of the billboards say the messages have been strategically placed in African-American communities.
The billboard reads "Voter fraud is a felony-- up to 3 and half years and a 10 thousand dollar fine." Local 12 News has spotted the billboards in Bond Hill and Madisonville. Some news reports say the signs are also up in predominately African-American neighborhoods in the Cleveland area.
Except when they aren't in black neighborhoods, like this one in Cleves:

Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) is a forum for 21 Pacific Rim countries (formally Member Economies) that seeks to promote free trade and economic cooperation throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Established in 1989 in response to the growing interdependence of Asia-Pacific economies and the advent of regional economic blocs (such as the European Union) in other parts of the world, APEC works to raise living standards and education levels through sustainable economic growth and to foster a sense of community and an appreciation of shared interests among Asia-Pacific countries. Members account for approximately 40% of the world's population, approximately 54% of the world's gross domestic product and about 44% of world trade.[1]
An annual APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting is attended by the heads of government of all APEC members except Taiwan (represented under the name Chinese Taipei) by a ministerial-level official. The location of the meeting rotates annually among the member economies, and until 2011, a famous tradition involved the attending leaders dressing in a national costume of the host member.
Contents |
In January 1989, Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke called for more effective economic cooperation across the Pacific Rim region. This led to the first meeting of APEC in the Australian capital of Canberra in November, chaired by Australian Foreign Affairs Minister Gareth Evans. Attended by political ministers from twelve countries, the meeting concluded with commitments for future annual meetings in Singapore and South Korea.
Countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) opposed the initial proposal, instead proposing the East Asia Economic Caucus which would exclude non-Asian countries such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. This plan was opposed and strongly criticized by Japan and the United States.
The first APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting occurred in 1993 when U.S. President Bill Clinton, after discussions with Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating, invited the heads of government from member economies to a summit on Blake Island. He believed it would help bring the stalled Uruguay Round of trade talks back on track. At the meeting, some leaders called for continued reduction of barriers to trade and investment, envisioning a community in the Asia-Pacific region that might promote prosperity through cooperation. The APEC Secretariat, based in Singapore, was established to coordinate the activities of the organization.
During the meeting in 1994 in Bogor, Indonesia, APEC leaders adopted the Bogor Goals that aim for free and open trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific by 2010 for industrialized economies and by 2020 for developing economies. In 1995, APEC established a business advisory body named the APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC), composed of three business executives from each member economy.
APEC currently has 21 members, including most countries with a coastline on the Pacific Ocean. However, the criterion for membership is that the member is a separate economy, rather than a state. As a result, APEC uses the term member economies rather than member countries to refer to its members. One result of this criterion is that membership of the forum includes Taiwan (officially the Republic of China, participating under the name "Chinese Taipei") alongside People's Republic of China (see Cross-Strait relations), as well as Hong Kong, which entered APEC as a British colony but it is now a Special Administrative Region of the People's Republic of China.

India has requested membership in APEC, and received initial support from the United States, Japan[4] and Australia. Officials have decided not to allow India to join for various reasons.[5][6] However, the decision was made not to admit more members until 2010. Moreover, India does not border the Pacific Ocean, which all current members do.[7] However, India has been invited to be an observer for the first time in November 2011. [8]
In addition to India, Mongolia, Pakistan, Laos, Bangladesh, Costa Rica,[9] Colombia,[9][10] Panama[9] and Ecuador,[11] are among a dozen countries seeking membership in APEC by 2008. Colombia applied for APEC's membership as early as in 1995, but its bid was halted as the organization stopped accepting new members from 1993 to 1996,[12] and the moratorium was further prolonged to 2007 due to the 1997 Asian Financial Crisis. Costa Rica, Colombia and Ecuador had hoped to become members by 2010.[citation needed] Guam has also been actively seeking a separate membership, citing the example of Hong Kong, but the request is opposed by the United States, which currently represents Guam.
To meet the Bogor Goals, APEC carries out work in three main areas:
According to the organization itself, when APEC was established in 1989 average trade barriers in the region stood at 16.9 percent, but had been reduced to 5.5% in 2004.[13]
APEC has long been at the forefront of reform efforts in the area of business facilitation. Between 2002-2006 the costs of business transactions across the region was reduced by 6 percent, thanks to the APEC Trade Facilitation Action Plan (TFAPI). Between 2007 and 2010, APEC hopes to achieve an additional 5 percent reduction in business transaction costs. To this end, a new Trade Facilitation Action Plan has been endorsed. According to a 2008 research brief published by the World Bank as part of its Trade Costs and Facilitation Project, increasing transparency in the region's trading system is critical if APEC is to meet its Bogor Goal targets.[14] The APEC Business Travel Card, a travel document for visa-free business travel within the region is one of the concrete measures to facilitate business. In May 2010 Russia joined the scheme, thus completing the circle.[15]
APEC is considering the prospects and options for a Free Trade Area of the Asia-Pacific (FTAAP) which would include all member economies of Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC). Since 2006, the APEC Business Advisory Council, promoting the theory that a free trade area has the best chance of converging the member nations and ensuring stable economic growth under free trade, has lobbied for the creation of a high-level task force to study and develop a plan for a free trade area. The proposal for a FTAAP arose due to the lack of progress in the Doha round of World Trade Organization negotiations, and as a way to overcome the 'spaghetti bowl' effect created by overlapping and conflicting elements of free trade agreements between members – there are as many as 60 free trade agreements and 117 being negotiated in Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region.[16][16][17][18][18] The FTAAP is more ambitious in scope than the Doha round, which limits itself to reducing trade restrictions. The FTAAP would create a free trade zone that would considerably expand commerce and economic growth in the region.[16][18] The economic expansion and growth in trade could exceed the expectations of other regional free trade areas such as the ASEAN Plus Three (ASEAN + China, Japan, and South Korea).[19] Some criticisms include that the diversion of trade within APEC members would create trade imbalances, market conflicts and complications with nations of other regions.[18] The development of the FTAAP is expected to take many years, involving essential studies, evaluations and negotiations between member economies.[16] It is also affected by the absence of political will and popular agitations and lobbying against free trade in domestic politics.[16] [7]
In 1993, APEC Leaders decided to establish a network of APEC Study Centres (ASCs) amongst universities and research institutions in APEC member economies.[20]
Notable centers include:
The APEC Business Advisory Council (ABAC) was created by the APEC Economic Leaders in November 1995 with the aim of providing advice to the APEC Economic Leaders on ways to achieve the Bogor Goals and other specific business sector priorities, and to provide the business perspective on specific areas of cooperation.
Each economy nominates up to three members from the private sector to ABAC. These business leaders represent a wide range of industry sectors.
ABAC provides an annual report to APEC Economic Leaders containing recommendations to improve the business and investment environment in the Asia-Pacific region, and outlining business views about priority regional issues.
ABAC is also the only non-governmental organisation that is on the official agenda of the APEC Economic Leader's Meeting.
Since its formation in 1989, APEC has held annual meetings with representatives from all member economies. The first four annual meetings were attended by ministerial-level officials. Beginning in 1993, the annual meetings are named APEC Economic Leaders' Meetings and are attended by the heads of government from all member economies except Taiwan, which is represented by a ministerial-level official. The annual Leaders' Meetings are not called summits.
In 1997, the APEC meeting was held in Vancouver. Controversy arose after officers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police used pepper spray against protesters. The protesters objected to the presence of autocratic leaders such as Indonesian president Suharto. [29][30][31][32][33][34]
At the 2001 Leaders' Meeting in Shanghai, APEC leaders pushed for a new round of trade negotiations and support for a program of trade capacity-building assistance, leading to the launch of the Doha Development Agenda a few weeks later. The meeting also endorsed the Shanghai Accord proposed by the United States, emphasising the implementation of open markets, structural reform, and capacity building. As part of the accord, the meeting committed to develop and implement APEC transparency standards, reduce trade transaction costs in the Asia-Pacific region by 5 percent over 5 years, and pursue trade liberalization policies relating to information technology goods and services.
In 2003, Jemaah Islamiah leader Riduan Isamuddin had planned to attack the APEC Leaders Meeting to be held in Bangkok in October. He was captured in the city of Ayutthaya, Thailand by Thai police on August 11, 2003, before he could finish planning the attack.[citation needed] Chile became the first South American nation to host the Leaders' Meeting in 2004. The agenda of that year was focused on terrorism and commerce, small and medium enterprise development, and contemplation of free trade agreements and regional trade agreements.
The 2005 Leaders' Meeting was held in Busan, South Korea. The meeting focused on the Doha round of World Trade Organization (WTO) negotiations, leading up to the WTO Ministerial Conference of 2005 held in Hong Kong in December. Weeks earlier, trade negotiations in Paris were held between several WTO members, including the United States and the European Union, centered on reducing agricultural trade barriers. APEC leaders at the summit urged the European Union to agree to reducing farm subsidies. Peaceful protests against APEC were staged in Busan, but the meeting schedule was not affected.
At the Leaders' Meeting held on November 19, 2006 in Hanoi, APEC leaders called for a new start to global free-trade negotiations while condemning terrorism and other threats to security. APEC also criticised North Korea for conducting a nuclear test and a missile test launch that year, urging the country to take "concrete and effective" steps toward nuclear disarmament. Concerns about nuclear proliferation in the region was discussed in addition to economic topics. The United States and Russia signed an agreement as part of Russia's bid to join the World Trade Organization.
The APEC Australia 2007 Leaders' Meeting was held in Sydney from 2-9 September 2007. The political leaders agreed to an "aspirational goal" of a 25% reduction of energy intensity correlative with economic development.[35] Extreme security measures including airborne sharpshooters and extensive steel-and-concrete barricades were deployed against anticipated protesters and potential terrorists. However, protest activities were peaceful and the security envelope was penetrated with ease by a spoof diplomatic motorcade manned by members of the Australian television program The Chaser, one of whom was dressed to resemble the Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden.
The APEC USA 2011 Leaders' Meeting was held on Honolulu, Hawaii from 8-13 November 2011. [36]
At the end of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting, the leaders in attendance gather for what is officially known as the APEC Leaders' Family Photo. A long-standing tradition for this photo involved the attending leaders dressing in a costume that reflects the culture of the host member. The tradition dates back to the first such meeting in 1993 when then-U.S. President Bill Clinton outfitted the leaders in leather bombardier jackets. However, at the 2010 meeting, Japan opted to have the leaders dress in smart casual rather than the traditional kimono.[37] Similarly, when Honolulu was selected in 2009 as the site for the 2011 APEC meeting, U.S. President Barack Obama joked that he looked forward to seeing the leaders dressed in "flowered shirts and grass skirts." However, after viewing previous photos, and concerned that having the leaders dress in aloha shirts might give the wrong impression during a period of economic austerity, Obama decided that it might be time to end the tradition. Leaders were given a specially designed aloha shirt as a gift but were not required to wear it for the photo.[38]
The location of the meeting is rotated annually among the members.

APEC has been criticized for failing to clearly define itself or serve a useful purpose. According to the organization, it is "the premier forum for facilitating economic growth, cooperation, trade and investment in the Asia-Pacific region" established to "further enhance economic growth and prosperity for the region and to strengthen the Asia-Pacific community."[45] However, whether it has accomplished anything constructive remains debatable, especially from the viewpoints of European countries that can not take part in the activities of APEC.[46]

How to Archer (eBook)
Hi. I see you're reading the back of my book. This tells me that you either:
A) are hoping to find a brief summary of what to expect from a how-to book by Sterling Archer, the world's greatest secret agent, or B) don't know how books work.
If your answer was "A," your best bet is probably the table ofcontents, which is where you'll find the "contents" of this booklisted in a convenient, easy-to-read "table" format. So maybe gocheck that out for a minute and then come back here. I'll wait. . . .
Pretty cool, right? What other book will teach you how to dressproperly and how to drive an elephant? How to field strip an AK-47and how to haggle with a Thai prostitute—in her native tongue?How to pilot an airboat and how to make about a million deliciouscocktails, including a Molotov one? How to kill a guy and how toprepare a fabulous brunch? Plus how to do tons of other stuff thatI forgot, but that is nonetheless probably in this book (which, to behonest, I really only kinda skimmed).
So if you want to learn more about how to be more—or at all—likeSterling Archer, the world's greatest secret agent, quit smearing yourgreasy fingerprints all over this book and buy it. For one thing, I reallyneed the royalties. For another thing, the last time I checked, thiswasn't a damn library.
(Note: If your answer was "B," this probably isn't the book you want to start with.)

The thing about Lolita is that it's wonderful. I mean really, truly brilliant. It makes you feel hideously uncomfortable - in a way that only a really great writer could possibly achieve. It's disturbing and clever and also utterly, utterly beautiful. I'm not going to go into the controversy that surrounds the book. We all know that it's about paedophilia, and that many people believe that the only possible way Nabokov could have written so convincingly about the subject is if he had prior experience. Personally, I'd like to believe that's bullshit; that he's just an excellent writer capable of convincing his audience of just that. But frankly, I don't care that much. The writing is what matters to me. And by god, the writing is glorious. The way Nabokov toys with language is like a cat playing with a mouse that's already dead - it's so pliable, so malleable in his hands. And that's why he succeeds in making the reader so supremely uncomfortable; because he paints Lolita with a lover's brush. She is so sensually portrayed that you're drawn in. And then you feel pretty perturbed that you were. The way he talks about her rubbed off on me, in that I started referring to the very object of the book as a person - as the nymphet herself: "Can you pass me Lolita? Don't chuck her, she's delicate!" Dangerous talk. On the other hand, it was with some relief that I realised I actually didn't like Lolita the character very much at all. She is a bratty child, spoilt and petulant and all the other things that both her mother and, at various points, Humbert himself complain about. She irritates me, and I'm pretty glad about it.
Final Word: I encourage everyone to fall in love with Lolita. I advise against falling for Lolita. #Lolita #Vladimir Nabokov #reading #books #lit #review |

Tissue Engineering and Platelet Derived Growth Factors: Evidence Based Therapy Platelet derived growth factors are now routinely utilized in reconstructive therapy. This presentation describes very detailed and evidence based guidelines for clinicians interested in enhancing their abilities in tissue engineering, especially as it relates to bone augmentation. Specifically, while successful bone augmentation requires the standard surgical parameters of space maintenance, low pressure on the grafts and tension-free flap closure, optimization of this goal requires management and enhancement of the local biological conditions with growth factors. Towards that end, platelet concentrates through the constant release of growth factors are able to promote and enhance new vascularization, provide plasma protein, normal lipidemia, as well as increased collagen and fibrin activity.
Emerging Concepts in Sinus Augmentation - Atraumatic and Efficient Crestal and Lateral Access Techniques This presentation will highlight through in depth clinical case documentation, the new and evolving role of instrumentation for access to the Sinus for Bone Augmentation.
