Good scanner when it worksPros: Efficient scanner for the price. Makes great scans of documents , pictures, and negatives. Cons: If you like to tinker with things that are tempermental then this is the scanner for your. Once you finally get the scanner set up and working never touch it again. Don't even think about moving it unless you just really don't want to make any more scans. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Not worth the risk.Pros: Desirable features for the price. Cons: Every scan has a green stripe down its entire length that makes the scan unusable. I now find that problem is well documented upon specific search. Cleaning "calibration area" does nothing to help. Sometimes line will disappear after 25-30 unusable trial scans--on/off/warmup alone does nothing for problem. Count on wasting minimum of 30 minutes. Other Thoughts: My $25 no-name scanner for Win 3.1 works better, but it's not conveniently located and is not compatible with Linux.. This item should never have made it out of Epson's door. Did you find this review helpful? |
I've Gotten Comfortable With ItPros: It's been reliable. Cons: Cover doesn't fit very well Other Thoughts: I could bump this up to 5 stars if it lasts three or more years from now. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Good scanner; minor annoyancesPros: Compared to the old clunker of a scanner I had, the V330 is fast, quiet, produces better images, and has better software. The installation process went very smoothly. I put in the CD, followed directions, and it all just worked. (This was with 64-bit W7) It even automatically checked for updates, downloaded, and installed them. Cons: The cover doesn't press down hard enough to flatten out curled photos completely -- and every photo has a curl to it. The inside of the cover has some "give" to it, and it gives too much. The problem is readily solved by putting a book on the photo instead of the cover, but it's a minor annoyance. Other Thoughts: Others have commented on the weird placement of the USB and power jacks. I haven't found this to be a problem -- just odd. 4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works perfect with Win 7 pro x64!Pros: A very nice scanner. Does beautiful scans of photos and magazine articles. Cons: None Other Thoughts: Can't understand how anyone could have problems using this in Windows 64-bit. The Epson drivers install without a glitch and the scanner works perfectly! 2 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Seems To Work Just FinePros: Installed easily enough, software isnt too bad but takes some getting used to. Cons: Can only scan 4 slides at a time Other Thoughts: Scanned almost 4000 35mm slides and over 1000 photos in the month or so that we've had it. 2 out of 5 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Works Great For MePros: Small size and low profile is what I needed because of limited desktop real estate. The scanner sits where my monitor stand used to. I mounted the monitor to the upper unit of my workstation using a swing arm wall bracket. Cons: Comes with a rather large wall wart. The manual could have more technical details. Other Thoughts: I'm not sure why the other reviewer had problems with Windows 7 64-bit. When I installed (custom) the driver software off the CD it also installed a driver update program. Before I even hooked up the hardware I was notified that a driver update was available, so I downloaded and saved the driver update, uninstalled EPSON Scan from Programs and Features, installed the driver update, hooked up the scanner, and everything works fine so far. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
JunkPros: NONE Cons: Doesnt work at all on Windows 7 64 Bit. Epson Support. 0 out of 11 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Improve iPhone backup and restore times by managing your Camera Roll
The iPhone Camera Roll can cause increased backup and restore times in iTunes if not properly managed. It's easy to mismanage the Camera Roll if you--like me--use it store media for showing later to friends or family. Apple did not intend the Roll to be used this way, however, and recommends that users use the Photo app, instead, for storing media you plan on showing off later.
Per this support document, whenever you sync or perform a restore in iTunes, the app creates a backup of the contents of your iPhone. The more pictures, screen snapshots, or video you … Read more

Using a common wire: Safety PLCs with safety Ethernet
Specifying a safety PLC upfront in planning makes it possible to save significant time and money when designing the wiring and planning functionality of a project. Using Ethernet allows projects to do start/stop, speed references, and safety all over the same wire. One design used safety PLCs and safe I/O to include the guarding zones between presses.
Safety systems today are growing bigger and more intricate. As they do, so, too, grows the importance of keeping costs down while working faster. Specifying a safety PLC upfront in planning makes it possible to save significant time and money when designing the wiring and planning functionality of a project.
A systems integrator in Franklin, TN, and a Siemens Solutions Partner, Advanced Engineering and its technicians have designed and installed many systems with more than 100 safety I/O points. Using Ethernet allows them to do start/stop, speed references, and safety all over the same wire.
In the estimation of Advanced Engineering, the day is coming when everything will have safety Ethernet. Simply plug up to a device to obtain control, diagnostics, and safety from it. In addition, zones can be set up, and the device reset. In smart devices, such as a drive, other functions are available as well.
The integrator works extensively in the automotive industry and has installed safety systems with more than 200 I/O safety points. Typically, that number of I/O points requires a great deal of wiring. However, by distributing the I/O over Profinet using a Siemens Simatic S7-300F processer, wiring is reduced and operator safety enhanced significantly.
In one case, an automaker was setting up zones for robots and stamping presses. The original specification to safeguard the zones called for many safety relays. However, the automaker was concerned with the cost for a relay based system. The suggestion was made for a design using safety PLCs and safe I/O up front that included the guarding zones between the presses. The design also determined which functions to shut down for each zone to make it safe for the operators to enter a zone.
In this instance, the quote for using safety relays reached $100,000. Done with a safety PLC, the cost was reduced to about $60,000. In addition, the automaker has since modified the system, which would have been nearly impossible with relays and which would require costly downtime. With the safety PLC system, the automaker simply added new zones into the safety PLC logic, similar to programming a normal PLC.
Ultimately, using a safety PLC is more productive than relays. For example, one company installed a safety relay system on a line of machines. It estimated that unplanned downtime caused a 20% drop in productivity. In fact, the company's production charts revealed that as each machine was fitted with safety relays, productivity dropped 20% on average. On the other hand, safety PLCs are flexible, offer diagnostics, require few wires, and can accommodate distributed I/O points without the downtime.
If safety is approached as an afterthought, if becomes very difficult to retrofit it into an existing machine. However, incorporating safety into the design at the beginning of the process has shown time and again to be cost effective. Whether an integrator or a plant, it is possible to start small. For example, Siemens offers a small PLC with distributed ET200S I/O; the heads of the I/O have safety capabilities. As the system grows, it can accommodate a central processor that can control these remote heads and allow zones to be set up.

SOURCE Nissan North America
NASHVILLE, Tenn., Dec. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Human Rights Campaign (HRC) announced today that Nissan received a perfect score of 100 in the Corporate Equality Index (CEI), up 70 points from two years ago, marking one of the fastest rises in the history of the index.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20080506/NISSANWORDMARKLOGO)
"Nissan proudly has one of the most diverse customer bases in the automotive industry, and we want to ensure our workforce reflects that. The two biggest factors that catapulted us to a perfect score were the implementation of a companywide diversity training program and the launch of Nissan's LGBT affinity group, the Gay-Straight Alliance at Nissan (GSAN)," said Robert Wilson, director of Diversity and Inclusion at Nissan. "With the training program, employees take a deeper dive into what inclusion really means. GSAN has become one of the company's quickest expanding business synergy teams with outreach programs that are making a difference in terms of sales, recruiting, retention and satisfaction."
GSAN began forming in late 2012 with about a dozen Nissan employees who expressed interest in a group that could support LGBT employees and allies. GSAN officially launched in July 2013 and since then, the group has expanded to nearly 100 members, making it one of the fastest-growing and most engaging of Nissan's employee resource groups. The team has taken an integrated approach in its efforts with significant collaboration with other Nissan affinity groups, and more than half of GSAN membership is made up of allies.
The group has been key in getting a variety of teams to work cross-functionally to establish Nissan's presence at community activities, increasing awareness and driving sales. GSAN members worked with sales operations teams to develop a way to track purchases driven by Nissan's involvement in the community, and since June the company already has seen a measureable return on investment in events such as Pride festivals, HRC's Equality Dinner and activities with the Nashville GLBT Chamber of Commerce.
"We want GSAN to serve as a catalyst that drives a culture of equality providing a safe, respectful, inclusive and supportive environment for our employees, vendor partners and customers," said Cathy Lively, ally supporter and co-chair of GSAN. "Looking at the successes we've had just in the last year makes us really eager to carry that momentum forward as we amp up our presence at LGBT events and get more involved with civic and philanthropic organizations that serve the LGBT community."

Great tool

About Me Professional
See all my reviews
Comments about Pittsburgh 0 to 1" Digital Micrometer:
I've been using this for about a month now everyday at work measuring saw teeth probably a couple hundred times each day. This tool matches right up to our hundred fifty dolla top brand mics without a flaw. This hasn't let me down once yet knock on wood! The only problem was after a couple weeks another worker used it and it stopped working.. Turned out that the numbers slid down a bit and weren't registering. But I fixed er up and she was good as new again in no time!I recommend keeping it clean and in its case and being gentle with it. Don't force it, snug it. And it will last

How to read the vernier
By Professor Gadget
from VA
About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Took a couple minutes to get used to the vernier on this micrometer because it only shows up to "5". The key is that the thimble is graduated so that each mark represents "0.0005" inches. Just add the reading from the vernier that lines up closest and you have your reading down to "0.0001"
Great find.
By Rod
from Warren, OH
I have nothing else that will measure to .0001", so I'll have to take the other reviewers word for the accuracy, but this appears to be a really nice micrometer and use it for my mini-lathe. The digital scale can be a little tricky to get the hang of but since it only reads to .001" and I want to read to .0001" I ignore the digital scale altogether.But the real trick to this mic is that the thimble is graduated to .0005" instead of .001". That is why the vernier scale only goes to five instead of ten.The only negative about the description is that mine came in a padded plastic case, not wood.
Accurate, Fairly well made
By CWS
from NY Southern Tier
It's been many years since I've had a need for micrometers. One of my very first jobs out of high school back in the early 60's was as a mechanical inspector... I got that job, because I could READ micrometers! So it's been awhile and now I find myself in need of accuracy beyond what my trusty vernier calipers can provide.These HF Item 895 "mikes" are very affordable and dead-on accurate to 0.0001", as advertised. I've checked them against my gauge blocks and against feelers. The latter was a bit of an awakening though as I found one set of feelers to be off by 0.0005. Both new sets and my setup blocks proved the HF micrometer to be absolute though!These come in a foam-lined blue plastic box which has a wood-grain pattern. This box is okay, as it holds the micrometer fairly secure, but the little wrench, jiggles loose.The referenced "digital" scale is actually a four-position, numbered tumbler, reminiscent of an old car's odometer. So,if you were thinking "digital" as in electronics... it ISN"T. But I didn't want electronics, for all those dead battery reasons, and yet those numbers offer some advantage as my closeup vision isn't what it used to be.The thimble on mine works pretty smoothly, provided one loosens the thimble lock sufficiently.The instructions are typically bad though, giving only the most basic information. Calibration and that little wrench-like device that is included are not referenced in any way. Likewise, there is no helpful illustrations for anyone who might using a micrometer for the first time.The old set of Starett's that I used to use had a wider anvil, which allowed one to properly hold the micrometer in their right hand, by the ring and middle fingers, and operating the thimble with the index and thumb. You can't do that with these, as the anvil isnt' wide enough and the thimble it's self is sort of long. Makes my wonder how long it will be before I wear the marking off the barrel...which by the way are printed on the surface and not engraved. But then I remember these are only a fraction of what higher-end micrometers would cost.Most important though is that these are accurate, and they cost very little. Important also is that they are covered by HF's Lifetime Warranty. So, I expect that if the marking do wear off, I should be able to swap them for a newer one.I should point out that I'm probably just "nit-picking" with my comments; but, it's those little things that sometimes irritate over time. Still, for the price, the accuracy of these is pretty darned favorable.
It calibrates!
By Tyler
from Bothell, WA
Passed calibration with no problem, so it is at least accurate! Cons: There are only five vernier lines, not 10 as most 0.0001 micrometers have (a bit more difficult to read). Also, when I got the thing back from calibration, the digital display was rotated in the view window, perhaps 15 degrees off (maybe they had to adjust to get the precision correct?) So it is a bit difficult to read, but it works!

I chose featured articles but when doing online research about products and services, what I always look for are case studies for applications similars to mine. That would allow me to identify others who have tried what I had in mind and, probably, feel more confortable with the decision.
I also chose featured articles but it is hard toignore blogs written exclusively by professionals with a greaterand indepth experience. Whilst featured articles are the best standards for most industries, blogs written by outstanding professionals are also a major force to reckon with now.
Case Studies as you rightly noted are used for specifically to get users' experience.In that case you might say they are the same to a blog written by a season professional.
Blogs are becoming increasingly popular. That's just a fact of the digital age. I don't think many of us have the attention span to even read featured articles. We are much more comfortable with blogs now and hence their increase popularity. Take for instance a site like Internet Evolution and its numerous band of Thinkernetters who are serving as bloggers, There is so much information one can glean from these blogs,
"This is a tricky question, Ariella. Most of us feed from a varied of the those options, make a cocktail of them, and get the product we need. It's not easy to choose only one. The intention of the poll, however, must be to determine the main source, the main component of that cocktail. I wonder if it would have been possible to let us do just that, grade them all according to the percentage we use of them. Could it work better?
I agreed with Susan completely. I don't think we necessarily view these sources as been separate or isolated but as Susan rightly noted, we used all of them to varying degree to meet out professional objectives. To answer Susan's question, it would have been better if we had given options to choose at most three from the list.
Hi, Paul
Yes, that would have been great. If we could have choosen at least three from the list it could have made the cocktail more spicy, with added flavor. After all, from a variety of options is how we get the best results, right?

I was thinking about a blog Mike Helfgot wrote a while back about how ranking players is an inexact science.
He used rankings from Rivals.com, my employer, to make the point that some players are missed, some are ranked too high and others are under the radar.
I would love to tell you Helfgot was as wrong as his Top 20 team rankings, but he was dead on.
I enjoy being proven wrong as much as being proven right. It's always been about seeing young men succeed, whether a five-star or a two-star prospect.
Former Stevenson fullback Mark Weisman, a rough and tumble player during his high school days, drew limited recruiting looks and offers and was rated a two-star prospect by Rivals. He lasted one semester at Air Force before walking on at Iowa.
Weisman's big chance arrived during the third game of this season when he ran for 113 yards and three touchdowns on 24 carries in a 27-16 victory against Northern Iowa. He went on to have big games against Central Michigan (217 yards, 3 TDs, 27 carries) and Minnesota (177 yards, 1 TD, 21 carries).
One flaw with the star-ranking system is it doesn't measure heart and/or determination.
Another player who had two-star abilities but five-star heart and determination is Geneva grad and current Atlanta Falcons practice squad linebacker Pat Schiller.
He, too, had limited recruiting interest before accepting a scholarship from Northern Illinois.
But he continued to grow both in his game and physically. Listed at 6-foot-1, 215 pounds as a senior at Geneva, Schiller grew into a 6-2, 235-pounder at NIU. After redshirting his freshman year, Schiller eventually became an All-Mid-American Conference selection and finished with 239 tackles (19 for loss) and played in 48 games for the Huskies, starting 27.
I'm a little surprised Schiller is with an NFL team. But you couldn't help but see something special in him, or Weisman, for that matter.
They are just two of many examples of kids who refuse to accept the experts' opinions. I hope more prove me and the others wrong.

Nairobi, 8 Jun 05
"We have to walk together and it is important for our leaders to listen to the streets to be able to build the continent. We have to believe in ourselves", was DJ Awadi's message to the youth and leaders of Africa.
DJ Awadi is presently on a thirteen-country African tour, called "The African Presidents' Tour". On June 10, DJ Awadi will be performing at the Carnivore Simba Saloon. He will be joined on stage by other Messengers of Truth such as the Kenyan hip-hop stars Gidi Gidi Maji Maji.
Prior to the concert, he will be holding a three-day workshop with several local artists to create tracks for a new album posing the question: "Where have all our dreams gone?". This project aims at highlighting history through rap by using the speeches and ideas of Africa 's famous leaders and luminaries for the future development of the continent.
DJ Awadi hopes to enable an interactive dialogue with Rap artists and to use urban music to communicate with the younger generation of Africans.
The role of art and culture is central in building consciousness and raising self-esteem among young people. This is why UN-HABITAT arranged an international Hip-Hop concert in Barcelona during the second World Urban Forum and dialogues with the stars featuring as "Messengers of Truth".
The Messengers of Truth project brings together socially committed Hip-Hop and other artists, youth groups and representatives of the music industry from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas to raise awareness about the positive role and potential contribution of the Hip-Hop movement and to provide the world's disenfranchised youth with a platform to be heard by political leaders.
UN-HABITAT's Global Partnership Initiative on Urban Youth Development in Africa was also discussed in Barcelona and has set a test case for the governments and the international community addressing the impact of rapid urbanizations and social exclusion on vulnerable young people. The Global Partnership Initiative (GPI) is important because it seeks to integrate the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) with development projects at the city level focusing on and working with urban youth in Africa .
These activities are the direct result of UN-HABITAT's Governing Council resolution GC19/13 on the engagement of youth in it's the work. It directs the Executive Director to "ensure the active participation of UN-HABITAT in the Secretary General's initiative on youth employment; as well as to develop a Global Partnership Initiative on Urban Youth Development in Africa, in partnership with other relevant United Nations agencies, multilateral institutions and private foundations. This work is consistent with a number of the MDGs, including Goal 7 Target 11 and Goal 8 Target 16; the GPI seeks to help the international community to fulfill the MDGs.

Solia Pink Limited Edition Flat Iron (1") plus free heat proof pouch

KathyRocky Hill, CtSolia PinkMy daughter has very thick, corse hair. The solia did a wonderful job on her hair. Ive used other flat irons, but this one works the best. Even rivals a professional straigthening. Plus, she loves the color!posted Sep 11, 2006Link to this post
JoanWoodinville, WashingtonEasy For 1st TimersI was very happy with my hair after using the Solia ceramic flat iron. Using a blow dryer alone left my hair frizzy looking. The flat iron fixed that easily and quickly and the style lasted several days. I highly recommend this flat iron.posted Sep 10, 2006Link to this post
Amy WWaseca, MNLoved Iti bought this iron 2 weeks ago and i love it. it has enough heat to tame my wild hair. The only downside is that it is skinny, so when i set it down it falls on its side, but with the heat proof pouch that comes with it, it doesnt matter because it wont burn anything. and its PINK!posted Sep 8, 2006Link to this post
TanyaGreat StraightenerThis is definitely one of the best straighteners I have had, it works really well, my hair is a lot straighter and less frizzy than when I used a wigo or remington or chi.posted Sep 8, 2006Link to this post
AkmNorwalk, CTI Purchased This, Had To Retrun It...Hi, I used to have a HAI flat iron and when it died I purchased this one. It is so pretty, yet it made my hair look real scraggly even on the 450 degree heat. It didnt curl well it just bent the ends into a square instead of a smooth curl. So I just returned it and will stick w/ the HAI ceramic iron.posted Sep 7, 2006Link to this post
J. BryantToronto, Ontario, CanadaGreat ProductThis product is fabulous! I ordered the CHI straigtener a few months back and since I am addicted to your products I wanted to try the new Solia one. My hair looks great...well I think so anyway!I would certainly recommend this product and its a great price!ThanksJ.Bposted Sep 7, 2006Link to this post
TristanAustin, TEXASNot As Expected...After reading some reviews on the comparison between the standard Chi and this Solia flat iron I decided to give the Solia a chance. IT does have nice features like a cool grip on the end of the iron allowing you to hold both ends while styling. Unfortunatley it did not perform as well as the Chi in my opinion. We used the Solia first, twice as a matter of fact and it seemed alright. But shortly afterwards the hair lost its shape. The Chi on the other hand will keep your hair straight well into the next day. On one occassion we used the Solia first, then the Chi was used on the same spot immediatly following use and the Chi just made it so much nicer. This is all coming from a males point of view. So if it is this noticable to me, imagine what it would be like for you. I say the Solia is average as your Revlon flat irons out there.posted Sep 7, 2006Link to this post
MaeveN.Y.PerfectI was surprised how light it was and thought it wouldnt do a good job. I was wrong. Best and now last iron I will ever use. Thanks :)posted Sep 7, 2006Link to this post

All parents seek disciplinary techniques that work. However, not all techniques work for all ages or for all children. Use this list as a guide for age-appropriate discipline.
Distraction. Infants (birth to 18 months) typically do not need strong disciplinary measures. When babies "misbehave" they are often exploring and testing their boundaries. Simply directing a baby's attention elsewhere may solve the problem.
Time-Out. Many parents use time-out for all behaviors all the time. However, for time-out to work, it should be used as one tool in an arsenal of other discipline techniques for ages 2 to 8. Some basic guidelines for time-out include:
Removal of privileges. Taking away toys, activities or outings can be an effective way to manage inappropriate behavior for children ages 18 months and older. To make sure this technique works for you:
Natural consequences. Parents do not need to get involved in order for natural consequences to take effect. For example, if your child refuses to eat dinner, instead of developing a power struggle, allow her to go to bed without eating. She will naturally be hungry in the morning and will be certain to eat. (Appropriate for children 2 and older.)
Logical Consequences. This is a punishment that fits the crime. Suppose your child throws a ball in the house and breaks a vase. She could be asked to work off the value of the vase or use her allowance to buy a new one.
Spanking. Spanking typically works best with ages 2 to 6. It should be used only for specific, purposeful misbehavior and should never be done in anger. As with other techniques, spanking should be used as one of many discipline tools.

This is a most unique ale. It pours golden with some sparkling head and body. The aroma is complex, wine, champagne, malt, brett. A full, aggressive on the palate mouthfeel - you get the brett and carbonation. Muscat is right there - a quarter of it? Best to share with friends, or if you have to, lots of different food, to mull it over. Not too sour, but sour.

Bottle shared at FosterJM's birthday celebration.
Batch 5.
Pours a murky light yellow with no head and no lacing. Smell is sour, tart, and funky with some sour grape and woody aromas. Taste is much the same with some woody flavors and a super sour and acidic quality on the palate. This beer has a good level of carbonation with a crisp mouthfeel. Overall, this is an excellent sour with some very well done aromas and flavors.

Batch 2. Golden Delicious apple gold with an intensely fizzy, soda-like cap of bright white foam that fades to nothingness inside of one minute, leaving the glass untouched. The beer itself is fine, but no head and no lace is bizarre looking.
The surprisingly powerful aroma is a pleasing combination of golden grains, white grapes and well-behaved barnyard funkiness. If the mouthfeel is any good at all, this should be wonderful ale.
Who cares how it looks when beer is as good as Cuvee de Castleton? Just more evidence that taste and mouthfeel are all that really matter to this BA. Too bad the final score will not be reflective of the experience as a whole, but it can't be helped.
This American wild ale isn't that wild and, as such, is extremely approachable for anyone with even a slight interest in the style. Along with keeping sweet-tart-bitter in perfect balance, the various flavors complement one another beautifully.
CdC tastes like a BSPA brewed with white grapes and Brettanomyces... probably because that's what it is. Captain Lawrence doesn't say what sort of French wine oak barrels were used for aging, but the tangy-sweet Muscat grapes are front-and-center enough that Chardonnay is a good guess.
This seasonal release has big beer power without having even a hint of alcohol on the palate. Must be the sourness, the acidity, and the huge blast of flavor every time the glass is upended. With a better mouthfeel, look out.
Speaking of which... the mouthfeel is too light and the carbonation is too soda-like. The bubbles are active early and fade quickly, although not as quickly as the head. It's a tribute to the brilliance of the flavor profile that I don't really mind that much.
Cuvee de Castleton is a better job of bottle-conditioning away from being one of the best American wild ales that I've had so far. Kudos to the brewery and thanks to marcpal for the bottle. Highly recommended... with reservations.

An outstanding sour. I had the privilege of doing a mini sour tasting last night and this was the night cap on the evening. Served from the cellar, Batch #2. This one was consumed via a snifter on 05/21/2009.
The pour was interesting. Nice big and very fizzy head of white capped what was a white grape juice colored liquid. Lots of carbonation coming up the surface initially, but then it all simply vanished as quickly as it came. No really side glass lacing to speak of, just the clear liquid gold throughout the rest of the night. Huge aroma here, lots of sour grapes, really very tart with hints of light woody notes and a touch of what I can honestly say was like a chardonnay aroma that just oozed off of this one. As I take my first sip, I get exactly what I came for, a huge, lip puckering sour experience. Ripping through the taste buds, this was definitely a good way to end the nice. Loaded with grape notes, tiny touches of a vinegar like flavor, and a huge biting dry finish that really just capped the show for me. Smooth, easy, with no hint of the high ABV in here at all. This was really a wonderful sipper.
Overall this was about what I expected. So far away from some of the sweeter ones I have tried lately, this was far and away one of the sharpest, tartest sour flavors I have had in a while. Very clean and very well done. I would have no issue with getting another one to sit on for a while.

Thanks to Richard for sharing this bottle from Batch 4. One of my favorite sours that I have never seemed to getting around to reviewing.
A: The pour is a cloudy straw color with a large white head that dies down to a thin white layer relatively quickly.
S: A wonderful bright acidity to the nose with notes of lemon, green apple, and the muscat grapes used in this beer. Quite a vinous quality to the beer which I really enjoy.
T: A moderate funky quality to the beer that is of the wet oak and must. The sourness is primarily lactic without any real acetic notes. The lemon and green apple character accentuates the white muscat grapes wonderfully, which provide a touch of sweetness.
M: The body is on the light end of medium with a lively carbonation and a pleasantly dry finish.
D: One of my all time favorite sour beers and one that I wish I could drink all the time. Just a great beer that I look forward to at every release.

look: 3.5 | smell: 5 | taste: 5 | feel: 4 | overall: 5
Appearance: Pours a cloudy grapefruit juice color with a foamy Champagne head that noisily disappears and leaves no trace
Smell: Tart citrus aroma and horse blanket dominates, but underneath there is a beguiling sweet grape element from the Muscat
Taste: Although the sweet grape flavors make an initial impact, the tartness builds to a mouth-puckering level by mid-palate; after the swallow, the barnyard funk adds yet a third dimension; this beer has it all, from the sweet honey tones to the puckering citrus to the stone fruit to the yeasty spice
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation; makes you pucker, however
Drinkability: Just an extraordinary accomplishment; I cannot think of another beer that goes in so many dimensions

Bottle: Poured a cloudy dirty yellow color ale with a very small bubbly head with no retention or lacing. Aroma is quite complex with loads of musky white wine notes with some funky barnyard notes and a light oak and tart finish. Taste is very much complex with again some musky white wines notes with definitive Brett notes though not as much as expected and some tart finish with hints of oaks. I was expecting more sour character but still very much enjoy the final product. Body is full with limited filtration and not much carbonation with alcohol being very well hidden. Great experience and while not being an everyday kind of beer it is surely something I would wish to have more often.

Reviewed from notes. Thanks to both bmanning and Azurelimits for opening these.
Poured into a tulip. Appearance is light gold with a white head and a bit of lacing. Nose brings grapes, oak, slight spice, and a nice sourness. Taste is sour but not overdone. Balances well with the fruit and oak presence. Good sour feel with a nice body. Perhaps my favorite sour from them.

Batch #2.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy, pale yellow body with an initially large white head, though it soon dissipates. Though, even a modest swirl of the glass easily revives it.
Smell: Pleasantly scented nose of sweetish malts, lightly tart, well-oaked white wine, lavender, funky Brett notes, and with a distinct whiff of Matt's 1978 Gas Line Lemonade.
Taste: Sweet pale maltiness alongside a sharp taste of lemon sherbet with a pop of bright acidity. Thin ripples of lavender. Muscat grapes marinated in white wine and honeydew melon juice laced with subtly funky flourishes of Brett. Zip of spicy oak character. Finishes dry, acidic, and with a final bump of tart fruitiness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Rather well carbonated.
Drinkability: Recommended. Cuvee de Castleton is good enough to run laps around most other beers.

Review from notes, batch #2.
Murky pastel yellow, with copious foam at first that settled and stuck around for awhile. Floral nose, fragrant lavender or chamomile, various spices, lime zest, and orange juice. Dry tart feel, zippy with a little grape sweetness. Earthy coriander. Reminds me of a sour blend of orange juice and sprite I used to make as a kid. The dry spritz just evaporates on the tongue, very clean and tasty. This brew really seems to showcase the herbs/spice with a nice orange/lemon-lime compliment. I'd seek it out again, good stuff. Thanks again Don for sharing!

The beer pours a nice gold color with a 1/2" white head that quickly fades to lacing. The aroma is great! It has a light pilsner malt scent along with a mild grape character and a semi-aggressive sourness. The taste is great as well. It's light and very drinkable. It seems like a simple pilsner malt and grape flavor with a nice dry, sour finish. It's not overly sour, but it does have a mild character that really enhances the experience. The mouthfeel is fine. It is a low bodied beer with adequate carbonation. This is an exceptional beer. It's light and easy drinking; a damn fine beer.

Partial vertical made possible by three separate people. I am reviewing batch 2, 3, and 4.
Beers were poured into wine glasses side by side. None of them had a head or lacing. All were light yellow in color.
Batch 2 - very cloudy and hazy. I'm not convinced that it was yeast from being disturbed from the bottom of the bottle. The aroma was quite bretty, Brett b I think mostly, quite funky with a hint of acetic tinge. Beer is oddly thin with a good forward lactic acid, no sweetness, mild tartness.
Batch 3 - very clear and highly carbonated. It looked like champagne in the glass. Very bright. This beer's aroma was quite sweeter with cherries and oak. Beer was still quite sour, less brett and funky, dominant lactic with a trail of acetic.
Batch 4 - The newest batch just released a few weeks ago. This beer is cloudy again, moderately carbonated. Aroma is strongly sweet, much much sweeter than the other two. Mostly lactic, not much acetic in this one. The aroma is the strongest out of the three, nice. This beer has quite the brett bite to it, good funk, some oakiness I didn't detect in the others.

Big thanks to Exiled for sharing this bottle, which was drank alongside Barrel Select, Rosso e Marrone and Flaming Fury. Batch No. 4.
The beer pours a clear yellow color with a white head. The aroma is very fruity. I get some oranges and lemons, as well as the expected grapes. I also get some oaked notes that really come through. The flavor is a great mix of grapes with some oak and lemons. The beer is very dry and is lower on the tartness scale than the other CL sours it was sampled alongside. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice beer that I am glad I got to try.

Batch Number 1, Sampled July 2007
Topped by a large bubbled, pale, white froth, that starts out about a finger and a half in height, but disappears fairly quickly to a thin, not quite layer of froth. The beer is deeply hazy, despite having rested in my fridge for a month, and is an orange-tinged, straw color. The aroma is distinctively funky, with notes of uriatic acid, bitter mushrooms, musty-tea-infused damp leather and a distinct nutty note. The nutty note comes on towards the end and reminds me of a woody mix of almonds and Brazil nuts. An acidity / tartness reminiscent of a funky Sauvignon Blanc makes me wonder if this is contributed by the yeast or by the Muscat grapes. The nutty note, while distinct at times, is at other times overwhelmed by the Brett aromatics. I think that nuttiness may ultimately be some woody / spicy oak character coming through.
A prickly carbonation, which despite its bountiful presence, is probably at a medium level of carbonation. Somehow, despite being quite dry seeming, this beer has a medium fullness to it; the body of this brew somehow sticks to the mouth, yet never seems sweet, or even remotely cloying. Perhaps it is best described as being a light beer with a viscous quality to it that allows the beer to cling to the palate. Tart, with lots of green grape notes; slightly herbal, yet with hints of kiwi, a touch of lime (the mix is something like star-fruit actually), and some green apple notes as well. A backdrop of funky Brett character finishes the flavor profile of this beer off; musty cotton balls, moldy leather, and sharp, mushroom-like fungal character are among the Brett contributed notes. As my palate gets used to the first few sips, a soft, green-fruit sweetness becomes noticeable; this helps to accentuate the fruit notes previously mentioned as well as accenting some notes of apricot. Hints of oak character around the edges combine with some of the fruit notes to evoke thoughts of nutty apricot pits
The apricot notes and thus the sweetness become more noticeable as I work my way through this bottle; the sweetness never becomes overt though. The aroma also pick ups some dry, toasty grain notes that are reminiscent of biscuits & soda crackers.
The oak character in this beer is absolutely stunning; I dont think I have ever had a beer that got the oak character so perfectly. It is not intrusive, nor is it even overtly noticeable, but it adds another layer of flavor to this beer that is an integral part of this complexly compelling brew. I also find it quite interesting how the grapes have added a sort of viscous quality to this brew without making it overtly sweet. A definitely interesting brew, in fact it is the best marriage of white grape and beer I have had yet. The best thing about this beer I get to go pour myself another glass right now!

This poured out as a nice clear golden color with a fizzy white head on top. The retention comes and goes rather quickly. The lacing is minimal here. The smell of the beer is definitely funky, lots of tart grape aroma on the nose. The taste of the beer gives off a tart white wine-like flavor, there is quite a bit of sourness on this one also. The mouthfeel is light bodied and heavily carbonated with a dry tart finish. Overall I found the pucker factor on this one to be quite high, it really was a solid brew. Glad I got to try this one.

Thanks to jcwattsrugger for sharing!
Pours hazy lemon-drop yellow with a fizzy head that immediately pops down to nothing. Not pleasant to look at with the head just loudly popping to nothing, with small bubbles continuing but producing no head.
The smell is tart - lemony, sour, some funk and acidity.
The taste is of tart lemon and apple. Sour/tart with balancing sweet maltiness, it has some funkiness mixed in. A hint of oak/vanilla grows as it continues, putting a unique spin on it that works very well. It has a touch of acidity in the finish.
Medium-bodied with carbonation towards aggressive to start with that mellows to medium as it progresses.
Drinks very well! Interesting complexities going on here. I can see this one - because of the lemony and acidic notes - a great pairing with many fish dishes. Too bad that the head was so unimpressive and the carbonation fine, but not great (esp. at the start).

Pours a foggy gold with a head that disappeared quickly. Nose is like any other gueuze or lambic. Straight sour funky. Flavor is real nice. Sour and tart with a fruity edge. There seems to be a vanilla and caramel edge to it too. Sour is the key here and it's coming with authority, but it's in the right place. Feel is slick and smooth. If you like sours, this will be very drinkable. If you're not a sour fan, this might be a nice one to take a few sips on. It's not overly intense, but it's bringing enough to keep it real.
Excellent beer. On the level of Russian River and The Lost Abbey, but stands alone.

From a 375 mL, Batch 3,
A: Pours golden with a soft white head, fair retention.
S: Smells like you aged white grape juice in an attic for 6 months, very musty/attic/cobweb.
T: White grapes, some sweet Muscat with a good acidity. White vinegar and some funky lemon, I like the flavour a lot.
M: Light aftertaste, as I've said I enjoyed the strong acid, medium-bodied.
D: A real good sour. Good complexity in this one, don't think I'll ever be able to try it again, but I really liked it. My 2nd experience with this beer.

From 09/25/10 notes. Brought to a small tasting; bottle is a Batch 4.
a - Pours a clear golden color with light carbonation evident and one inch of white head.
s - Smells of sour fruit, grapes, wine, oak, brett, and spices. Nice and sour, but not overally funky.
t - Tastes of sour fruit, grapes, tart lemon and citrus, spice, oak, and brett.
m - Light body and low carbonation. Very easy to drink.
d - I thought this was a really nice sour. It's quite light and easy to drink for a sour, which I enjoyed. It has some sour, tart fruit and brett in the smell and taste, but isn't lip puckering. I liked it a lot and look forward to drinking my other bottles of it.

Thanks to bwyker for this 750 mL capped bottle of Batch 2.
A: The ale is effervescent, foaming up to nearly two full fingers of stark white head. Surprisingly though, it disappeared almost instantaneously. Despite a stream of carbonation, the ale sits still in my snifter. The ale is pale in color, a golden straw color that looks absolutely naked without some level of head.
S: The nose is tart, acidic with lemony citrus. White grapes add a sugary sweetness. Wood also leaves its mark on the nose.
T: For as much punch as the sour side throws into the ale, the sweet white grape flavors are the first to register, however briefly that may be. The ale is quite dry but the intersection of the funk and grape is rather sweet. The funk is mostly sheer tartness, very acidic with lemon in the aftertaste. Lemon and grape mix together for an unusually sweet (as compared to the rest of the body) sugary finish.
M: After getting over the lackluster appearance, the ale brings it. The tart flavors set up grape sweetness and the mix of grape and lemon works quite well. A light ale that doesn't betray its strength.
D: A very approachable sour. I like what the grapes bring to the table; they add a distinct sweetness that loosens up the dry mouthfeel. A nicely aged beer.

Got to love a small, young and local (at least to me) brewery that puts out a stream of small (bottled) batches of eclectic and high quality ales, in addition to the four regular high quality craft brews it brews all year round on tap. "Cuvee" is a Belgain golden, fermented with muscat grapes, then refermented with "Bret" yeast, then aged in wine barels. Yeeha...love the style and love the fact that brewer Scott V has the stones to brew up a quite sour brew and then pitch it and explain it to his loyal following....anyway, this one pours cloudy, lemony, yellowy amber with a quickly departing white head and leaving just a trace of fine lacing. The nose is where the excitement begins, lots of fruit, lemony freshness and a funky, musty foretelling of the sour Bret blast to come. Moderate to quite sour on my scale. Lots of puckering lemon/lime, I also pick up tart berry notes, quinine, ginger, spicy honey, woody, herbal, Bret FUNKYNESS....WOW...wild ale, lambic, Belgian fans rejoice...refreshing, complex, and thoroughly enjoyable...yet another home run for the good Captain...go get some, add a hunk of smelly cheese, some crusty bread, olives, wild lettuce salad, sit back and revel in what a lucky human being you are! Label notes also mention that this one is expected to age well, will the blessings never cease?

very cool blonde sour from captain lawrence. this brew pours a very pale almost clear shade of yellow with the faintest purple tint from the grapes, nearly imperceptible, not quite as much head as i would like. fruity aromatic with some strong acidic notes. oaky and sour for sure, but very interesting from a yeast standpoint, lots of brett has dried this right out. some very light malt and straw cereal properties, and the grapes are only subtle, contributing more of a tannic vibe than real fruit flavor. insanely light body and well enough carbonated, this is rather easy drinking as sours go, a very delicately put together and well balanced brew. would be curious to try some with a little age on it.

From notes:
Batch 2 750ml. Thanks to onix1ager.
Pour a slightly hazy golden yellowish orange color with a thin half finger white head that immediately fades into a thin ring. Not much in the way of lacing. Visible carbonation.
Earthy funk aroma with lots of bretty effervescence, barnyard mustiness, oak and light fruit notes.
Slightly puckering with a nice amount of light tart sourness that isn't overpowering or acidic at all. Earthy and funky with lots of dry brett, earthy oak and a surprisingly prominent light fruit presence. Slightly vinous with hints of light grape, apple and pear. The fruit is very prominent and adds complexity and a sweetness that balances out the sourness/funk. The combination of balance and light funk make this beer very drinkable.

750ml bottle from gpcollen1 via trade. Thanks for the opportunity. Batch No. 1.
Bottle foamed over upon opening, steathily, that is, not immediately, but within 10 seconds, enough time to turn away. Annoying. Poured into a Rapscallion glass, formed a 1" white head above the totally cloudy orangey yellow brew. Head is completely gone quickly, with little to no lacing. Aroma is tart and grapey. Taste is dominated by the tartness, but is tempered somewhat by the grape flavor initially, and also by the wood character that floats in later. Mouthfeel and drinkability are what you expect from a Wild Ale, and the end product is surprisingly thirst-quenching. This one might be a bit over-the-top for a regular drinker, but is a nice treat.

Believing popular misconceptions can keep you from taking the right course of action to reach your goals, says Julia Valentour, MS, program coordinator and media spokesperson for the American Council on Exercise. Blaming a plateau (or a gain) on any of these half-truths will keep you stuck in your rut and derail your motivation. Here, 10 of the most pervasive diet-related rumors and the real scoop on how to hit your goal weight for good.
Get dozens of ideas that make weight loss easy here!
1. "Strength training will bulk me up."
First, let's tackle the myth that a pound of muscle weighs more than a pound of fat. A pound is a pound is a pound-whether it's made up of muscle or fat. That said, muscle is denser than fat and takes up less room, so two women who weigh the same can look much different if one has a higher ratio of lean muscle mass to fat, says Valentour. "Muscle weight is a good weight because you look firmer, smaller, and more fit. It's also more metabolically active, so just having more muscle will boost metabolism throughout the day to help keep you leaner."
It's important to incorporate strength training into your routine so you burn calories at an optimal rate all day long-and using heavier weights could help maximize your efforts. Researchers at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis found that working out with heavy weights even for as few as 3 to 6 repetitions increased exercisers' sleeping metabolic rate-the number of calories burned overnight-by nearly 8%. That's enough to lose about 5 pounds in a year, even if you did nothing else!
Drop 11 pounds in one month!
2. "I exercise every day, so I can eat whatever I want."
The sad truth: Even if you work out religiously, going to yoga several times a week and sweating it out in Spinning, it's not a license to eat as much as you want and still expect to lose weight. This may seem obvious, but the desire to reward a workout well done is natural; after all, you endured those endless vinyasas-you deserve an extra slice of pizza (or three), right? Not if you're trying to lose weight.
"You can outeat your workout," says Valentour. Even though you burn calories and fat when you exercise, it's often not as much as you think-or what the readout on the treadmill tells you.
Valentour recommends eating 250 fewer calories per day and aiming to burn an extra 250 calories a day; that creates enough of a calorie deficit to achieve an average weight loss of a pound a week.

3. "It's harder for women to lose weight than for men."
Okay, this one has some basis. Biologically, men are built with more lean muscle mass (the compact, tight muscles that keep metabolism humming) than women are-meaning his metabolism is working at a 5 to 10% higher rate (even if he's the same height and weight as you) when you're lying on the couch together. Annoying, isn't it?
Another biological challenge women face is that we generally have more body fat than men do, and our bodies are more inclined to store it. On top of that, women lose about 1/2 pound of calorie-burning muscle mass a year during perimenopause and sometimes a pound a year during menopause. With the deck stacked against you, why bother trying to fit back in your skinny jeans?
You can do something about these problems, but it's going to take some work-and sweat. Add strength training to your fitness routine at least twice a week to shed fat and build lean muscle mass that will fire up your resting metabolism.
How to stop overeating for good
4. "All calories are equal, so it doesn't matter what I eat."
Ever since you learned what a calorie is, you've been told that they're all alike: Whether you eat 500 calories' worth of celery stalks or crème brûlée, your body will burn or store them equally, right? Wrong. New science shows that when it comes to weight loss, calories are nowhere near alike.
Some foods take more work to eat-and therefore burn more calories while you're digesting them. Just the act of chewing fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean cuts of meat can increase your calorie burn by up to 30%! And then your stomach and intestines do their jobs. In a Japanese study, researchers found that women who ate the foods that required the most work had significantly slimmer waistlines than those who ate the softest, easiest-to-eat foods. The fiber and protein in such foods take so much effort to digest that your body 'doesn't absorb some of their calories.
Eat foods that actually boost your calorie burn
5. "Eating fat will make me fat."
Fat-free products are so-o-o over. There's nothing special about fat that packs on pounds: Getting enough fat in your diet-the Institute of Medicine recommends that it make up 20 to 35% of calories-is essential for good health, but the type of fat matters.
Monounsaturated fats-MUFAs (pronounced MOO-fahs), for short-come from the healthy oils found in plant foods such as olives, nuts, and avocados. A report published in the British Journal of Nutrition found that a MUFA-rich diet helped people lose small amounts of weight and body fat without changing their calorie intakes. Another report found that a breakfast high in MUFAs could boost calorie burn for 5 hours after the meal, particularly in people with higher amounts of belly fat. Pair these delicious healthy fats with a reduced-calorie eating plan and you'll lose weight and reduce belly fat.
Meet the fats that will help you lose weight and belly fat
6. "Eating at night will make me gain weight."
Cutting out nighttime snacking is a popular weight loss strategy because it feels logical-eat less when you're less active. But this topic has been debated for years, and even recently, a study in the April 2011 journal Obesity suggested that eating after 8 pm may increase the risk of obesity, but there aren't clear-cut reasons why.
It's mainly how much you eat-not when you eat-each day that affects weight gain. Many people eat at night out of boredom or other emotions instead of hunger, and they wind up consuming more calories than they need for the day-calories that are then stored as fat. Also, people who eat at night may wake up without an appetite and skip breakfast, the meal that helps control calorie intake throughout the day.
To ward off nighttime hunger, eat dinner an hour later, suggests Marjorie Nolan, RD, a spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association. You'll save calories by curbing the urge to nosh in front of the TV. "Having dinner a little bit later-but at least 2 hours before sleeping-helps prevent mindless snacking, which often happens in the evening," says Nolan.
Overcome these common diet slip-ups
7. "Drinking a ton of water will help me drop pounds."
Stop hogging the office watercooler (and running to the loo). It's possible that drinking water can aid weight loss efforts, but it won't automatically make you lose weight if you're not changing any other habits. A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill study found that people who regularly drink water eat nearly 200 fewer calories daily than those who consume only coffee, tea, or soda. And if you sip water instead of sugary drinks, the calories you've saved will help shed pounds.
Drinking ice-cold water can help you burn more calories too. German researchers found that drinking 6 cups of cold water a day raised resting metabolism by about 50 calories daily-possibly because of the work it takes to warm the fluid up to body temperature. It's up to you to decide whether 50 calories is worth guzzling ice water-or whether it would be easier just to take the stairs.
Beat bloat fast with this twist on plain water
8. "Becoming a vegetarian will help me drop a size."
Eliminating meat from your diet can result in great health benefits, but if you don't follow a vegetarian diet properly, you could accidentally pack on pounds.
Dawn Jackson Blatner, RD, author of The Flexitarian Diet, explains common vegetarian beginners' mistakes that may cause weight gain. Vegetarian "types" to avoid becoming:
- Cheese-aholic vegetarians: They cut out meat from their diets and turn to cheese as a protein source. But cheese is a high-calorie, high-fat food and should be eaten in moderation.
- Faux-meat fixators: All they eat is boxes of frozen faux meats, such as soy chicken nuggets, vegetarian sausage links, and veggie bacon strips. These products are okay once in a while, but they are heavily processed and can have a lot of sodium, resulting in bloating and water retention.
- No-veggie vegetarians: A lot of vegetarians don't eat enough fruits and vegetables. They eat only grains, beans and veggie burgers, all of which can be high in calories.
- Same-meal-minus-the-meat vegetarians: These people eat the same meals they did before, but without the meat. If they're not replacing the protein, they'll probably have a ferocious appetite and may be missing out on essential nutrients.
- "Vegetarian" food label fans: These people find any recipe or packaging that contains the word "vegetarian" or "meatless" and then overeat that food. They often wind up taking in too much junk food. Be aware that the word "vegetarian" is not synonymous with "healthy" or "low calorie."
Blatner recommends replacing meat with beans in recipes for an easy, healthy-and inexpensive-protein source. She advises new vegetarians-and those who want to dabble in a vegetarian diet-to start having fun with vegetarian recipes. "Find ones you like that you're going to keep eating. Enjoy the journey of it."

9. "Subbing diet soda and diet foods is a smart way to lose."
Chugging cans of diet soda and eating prepackaged diet foods may seem like a no-brainer way to trick your body into pound-shedding mode because they have few or no calories-but it's not going to give you lasting results.
Diet soda may increase your risk of metabolic syndrome, a group of symptoms that includes high levels of belly fat, blood sugar, and cholesterol. People who consumed just one diet soda daily had a 34% higher risk of the syndrome than those who abstained, according to a University of Minnesota study of nearly 10,000 adults ages 45 to 64.
What you're trying to do when you eat diet foods and drink diet soda is to cheat your body, says Ashley Koff, RD, resident dietitian on the new Lifetime show Love Handles: Couples in Crisis. "The body is physiologically smarter than your ability to override it. If you use one of those things as your tool, you're always going to need that. And you might be getting weight loss results but no health benefits." She says many people eventually get frustrated that they became dependent on these products.
"My approach across the board is that the best thing you can do is be a 'qualitarian,'" says Koff. "Choose the best-quality foods available. The diet versions will have fewer calories than the quality versions, but they'll also have fewer nutrients."
14 Diet foods that make you fat
10. "Weight gain and belly fat are unavoidable after 40."
Let's be honest here: You're not going to wake up on your 40th birthday with a gut and 10 extra pounds on your frame. It does get harder to lose weight as we age, but you can put some healthy habits into practice now to maintain your weight-or even lose-as the years pass by.
The years leading up to menopause, known as perimenopause, are prime time for weight gain: On average, women put on a pound a year, mostly around the waist, according to the Mayo Clinic. Out-of-whack hormones and a slowing metabolism are a couple of the weight gain culprits.
But reaching menopause doesn't have to mean getting plumper. Studies show that the more you work out, the slimmer you'll be, even during this transition time. Keep your diet in check and you'll boost your results.
Fine-tune your workouts and eating habits to shed those pounds-and keep 'em off-with these tips:
Exercise at least 4 hours a week: That amount helped nearly 44,000 women in their 40s or early 50s achieve weight loss instead of weight gain during a 10-year American Cancer Society study. Try this essential over-40 workout.
• Crank it up for 10 minutes a day: In a Kaiser Permanente study, a similar group of women who exercised vigorously (by jogging, for instance) for 10 or more minutes a day had waistlines nearly 6 inches smaller than those of women who didn't raise their heart rates that high.
• Lift weights: Two or three sessions a week can help stave off age-related muscle loss, which slows your metabolism.
• Skip the refined carbs: Women whose diets were high in whole grains and fiber gained less weight than those who ate more sugar and white flour, reports a Danish study.

| Divegear Boat Coat Jacket - Fleece Lined with Hood Reviews
Reviewer:Elaine G.on5/3/2007 Divegear Boat Coat - I was looking for a coat that would keep me warm during surface intervals and for boat dives. What I found was the coat is a perfect addition to my gear and I use it to keep warm before donning my wetsuit and after the dive is over. I read that the coat runs small so when I ordered it I went on the larger side but really did not need to. I could have gotten away with the correct size for me. In any case it is roomy, and I can peel the wetsuit to my waist and still wear the coat. The fleece lining is really comforatble and must wick dry fairly quickly because I have yet to have that wet coat feeling while wearing it. It is a great coat. | |
| Divegear Men´s Polyolefin Short Reviews
Reviewer:joel tobeyon10/9/2008 Confort Shorts - I was recently on a dive trip on the MV Fling out of Freeport, Texas. Most Dive gear shorts are black and I was wearing the Royal Blue. It seamed to catch the eyes of many divers and they ask me where I got them that they would like to get a pair. Of coarse I told them. It is very important to be confortable when diving and these shorts are lined for warmth and fit well with any dive suit. They dry fast and will not bunch up in the dive suit. They simply become part of you. I have both the Black and Royal Blue. I always put on the Royal Blue first because they look so good. Youll love them, Joel Tobey | |

News Release
Monday, November 21, 2011
Media contact: Gary Morse, 863-648-3852
A free lunch and a chance to win a great prize are what registered anglers will get when they volunteer to help out with a black crappie (speckled perch) tagging study the morning of Dec. 3 on Lake Istokpoga.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) is conducting the catch-and-release tagging event in conjunction with a "Family Fun Day" hosted by the Friends of Istokpoga Lake Association Inc.
To register, anglers can drop by Istokpoga Park on that Saturday between 6 and 8 a.m. and sign up for the morning's fishing event. Once registered, anglers will receive instruction on how to participate in the tagging study. A cookout and drawings for prizes, sponsored by Friends of Istokpoga, will follow the morning's fish-tagging event.
During the next 12 months, FWC biologists will gather information from anglers who report catching tagged fish. Any anglers who catch a tagged fish will receive a reward if they call the FWC number on the tag and then report the tag number, the length of the fish, where on the lake they caught it and whether they kept or released the fish.
The information provided by anglers to FWC fisheries biologists will help document harvest rates and the size of fish being kept and released, along with other vital information about the black crappie fishery on Lake Istokpoga.
If you would like more information on the catch-and-release tagging study, contact Bill Pouder with the FWC at 863-648-3805.
FWC Facts:Gutters and storm drains can transport excess lawn chemicals to coastal waters and damage seagrass beds.
