2011 Collaboration
A: Pours a hazy to cloudy golden peach in color with some very light amounts of visible carbonation and some orange and golden yellow highlights. There are significant amounts of white particles in suspension. The beer has a finger tall off-white head that redues to a medium sized patch of very thin film covering the surface of the beer with a thick ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Light to moderate aromas of citrus/orange hops along with some lighter notes of green tea.
T: Upfront there is a light to moderate flavor of pale malts with a light amount of wheat. There are light to moderate flavor of citrus/orange hops and some light notes of green tea. Light to moderate amounts of bitterness which lingers for quite a while.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. Smooth and slightly crisp with moderate amounts of dryness in the finish.
O: This beer has really held up surprisingly well considering the style - the alcohol is well hidden and the hop flavors has not really faded much over time. I liked this better than a lot of the Stone beer as this has a slightly different hop profile.

pretty old as far ipas go, about 6 months, and according to stone this beer is 3 months out of code but it smells and tastes pretty darn fresh. hazy burnt orange hue with a white head.
earthy and herbal hop character with a soft tea presence on the nose.
light breast malt body lets the hops and tea shine. big herbal leafy hop presence throughout with a nice bitter finish. tea comes through in the back end and as a lingering flavor on finish. semisweet tea flavor lingers in the mouth. pretty nice, hops and tea compliment each other rather nice.

This is an...unusual beer. It screams west coast ipa, but then, the green tea steps in. It quickly becomes a tug of war between very overt flavor patterns. The hops step up, but the green tea beats them back. The hops step up again, but the green tea wins again. Back and forth, back and forth. The green tea seems to win out, providing a very unique twist to a dipa. Doesn't quite mesh together here, but it's interesting. Glad to try it once. If it was on cask, I would probably try it again. But I doubt that will ever happen, so I think that's it for this beer as far as I'm concerned.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Note- Consumed fresh in August 2011. (I'm way behind on review notes.)
12 oz bottle poured into a Duvel tulip. Light amber body is hazy and then some; tea leaves partially to blame there. Nice tightly bubbled head with a generous dose of lacing.
I don't have a lot of experience with tea-infused IPAs, but this one's working out just fine. The tea is content to be a background player in the nose and let the herbal hops shine. A rather dry malt profile that lets the hops and special guest ingredient show their stuff. The tea seems to somehow draw focus to the hops; I'm really digging this stuff. Nice clean finish that has both the cleansing quality of a spot of tea and a nice hoppy punch. (I'd be up for tea time every afternoon if this was on the menu.) I'd buy this one regularly given the opportunity.

from tasting notes
Hazy orange gold with 1 finger medium to dark cream head. Not much in the way of retention or lace. Heavy amount of sediment present.
Nose is green tea. Definitely green tea. Good amount of grapefruit and orange zest. Very nice.
Tea is even more present in the flavor. Again, nice mix of grapefruit and orange peel, but definite tea component. Adds a nice complexity to the finish. Well done, again.
Feel is heavy, but befits the strong abv and slows down the consumption rate.
Overall, well done and would love to see this done again.

A- Pours a slightly cloudy golden with white head that hangs around for a while, little lacing, some suspended sediment in the glass
S- Light tea aromas, nice hop aromas and malt sweetness
T- Tastes like an alcohol heavy IPA on the front without much tea presence, in the middle the tea really comes out, flavors blend very well, the finish tastes almost exactly like an unsweetened tea, lightly bitter, slightly dry
M- Lots of alcohol warmth, moderate body, lightly carbonated
O- Really interesting brew, nicely blended between the IPA and the green tea, definitely glad I picked this up, worth the experience

A - Pours a very cloudy golden-orange color with a thin finger of frothy white head. The head fades down at a normal pace leaving behind some light lace.
S - Aroma is a mix of lemon, grapefruit, and floral hops with some sweet lightly bready malt, green tea, and a bit of candi sugar.
T - Starts off with a mix of lemon and grapefruit hops with some bitterness with some sweet, lightly bready malts, and a bit of green tea. Through the middle, some floral and pine hops come through with some more bitterness and some more green tea flavor and a bit of sweet candi sugar. The finish is a mix of sweet candi sugar, citrus and tropical hops, bitterness, and green tea.
M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a dry and bitter finish.
D - Very drinkable. Really nice hop profile from start to end with a good amount of bitterness throughout. I also really like the green tea flavor.

From old notes sep 4, 2011
Stone Japanese green tea ipa
A- pour produces a 1 finger off white head that rests atop a golden/sunset orange beer with a good amount of fine sediment floating arount making it hazy. Not much in the way of lacing 3.5
S- citrusy with grapefruit predominant also some lemon zest and tangerine. This is backed up bu a biscuty malt. A definitely tea scent but not necessarily green tea. Smell excellent 4
T- this beer is actually tea forward. I get it on the forefront and all the way through. It subdues some the citrusy hops and balances it out. There are tastes of green tea, grapfruit, tangerine, lemon, bitter hops, some alcohol warmth and taste. Very well done. The alcohol warmth actually makes it feel kind of like a warm tea going down. 4
M- good mouthfeel. Nice viscosity and good carbonation 4
O- a good beer and one I'd like to try again especially on tap. Good drinkability and well done 4

I had this beer when it first came out but just now found an old notebook with a bunch of reviews I never typed up.
A: Translucent gold with a rim of bright white foam.
S: Light and crisp. A little bit of citrus. Green tea smells delicious, and is not overwhelming.
T: Sweet green tea flavor-- a lot sweeter than I expect from an IPA. Citrus-y hops, perhaps orange. I really love the tea flavor. You can't taste the 9% alcohol.
M: Refreshing and crisp. Would be a great summer beer.
O: Intriguing and unique. Overall I really enjoyed this beer and would love to drink it again.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Appearance - Very large head. The color is a deep yellowish gold (a bit ironic considering Stone's opinion of "fizzy yellow beer").
Smell - The smell of the green tea is very strong. Behind that there is the hops, and the combination is not entirely pleasant.
Taste - The green tea and traditional IPA make an interesting combination. The tea really comes forward and cuts down on the bitterness of the hops.
Mouthfeel - Smooth and creamy.
Overall not as intense in the hops department as a lot of other IPAs, but the green tea is very prominent, so I would only recommend it if you're a tea drinker as well as a beer lover.

Pours a fairly clear orange copper color with a one finger cream head that dissipates into a solid layer of foam. Lots of debris in suspension.
Aroma is fairly citrusy, lemon, grapefruit, a bit of caramel malt breadiness, and herbal tea.
Flavor is heavily green tea throughout, with an herbal bitter finish. Lemon tang emerges in the initial taste and gives way eventually to the bitterness. Mint and floral flavors are intertwined in the green tea component.
Body is moderate, with a moderate amount if carbonation and slight alcohol warmth. Floaties are undetectable.
An interesting beer that delivers on its claims. Lots of green tea and fruity, bitter hop. It's very drinkable, given the abv. A bit too biter for the somewhat uncomplicated hop profile.

This was one of a number (I believe 4) collaboration beers between Stone and two other brewers. They are all excellent but I think this is the best one.
Appearance is a light pale, very hazy with a good amount of carbonation. Leaves some lacing behind.
Aroma is very intense citrus and herbal hops with a little bit of green tea as well. Overall the green tea is very subtle, which is a good thing.
Flavor as well is among the better double IPAs with good bitterness, hop flavor and balanced malt. Again, some sense of the tea but not enough to make it strange.
Overall a very good beer that I was sad to run out of.

Purchased from So Cal and held for over a year until another brewery scheduled a Japan benefit.
A- Nice bright apricot color but extremely muddled with "bottle condition". Virtually no head but not suprising at 9+ %.
S- Lots of pear and traditional green tea aroma. A sweetness of sugar and bold aromatic hops.
T- More hops up front that the green tea, but it sneaks up on you along with the alcohol. Warm aftermath that lingers and creates a new aromatic hop flavor.
M- more carbonated that originally appeared. Nicely thick and surprising for an IPA. More in-line with a much darker and substantial style.
D- The aftertaste is not fully appealing for an IPA and is not my favorite. Support your local brewery and any opportunities to give back to charity. I'll probably give these away or use them to enjoy the company of others.

Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a medium orange amber with a thin white head and a hint of lacing. Great aroma of piney and herbal hops, a hint of tea. Nice malt body with complex pine, citrus and herbal hops. Light tea presence. Great herbal hop finish. I really liked the balance of malt and hops in this IPA and the slight tea flavor is a nice addition. This is a very nice IPA. I'm surprised by some of the low ratings on this. Sadly, it kept me awake from the caffeine, so probably not a repeater.

A - Hazy light orange with a thin layer of white head. A few floating chunks but I did a bad job avoiding the sediment.
S - Light citrus hops, such as orange and grapefruit. Not getting green tea, but it's an interesting combinations of aromas, so maybe I'm just missing it in there. There's also a touch of alcohol, and a very nice caramel malt aroma coming through.
T - Initially I wanted to say there was more malt than hops, but a few sips later I deleted all of that. Same hops as the aroma, citrus, primarily orange and grapefruit. Still not too much green tea, but I'm looking past that because it's a delicious DIPA regardless. Lots of hop bitterness goes with this too, I thought it was initially alcohol that was tingling my tongue, but upon more sips, it's definitely the hops.
M - Medium body, sticky sweet. Tingly feeling from the bitterness as described above. Finish is a nice mix of sweet and bitter. The sweet malts coat the mouth, but as that fades, the hops are still there to remind you what this beer was. I get the strongest taste of green tea from this beer after burping...
O - Really liked it. Didn't get too much green tea, but got a good DIPA anyway.

A - Pours a cloudy orange with a small head and minimal lacing.
S - An interesting combination of hoppy citrus and the expected green tea scent coming through. It's light and pleasant.
T - The tea flavor definitely comes forward at first, with a subtle citrus and spice as well. Slightly bitter finish. The alcohol content is hidden well, I wouldn't guess it's over 9%.
M - This beer came off as over-carbonated. It was smooth though.
O - An interesting beer that I was excited to try. It disappointed slightly but it was still refreshing and different.

S - Citrus, orange, green tea.
T - Light citrus followed by a wave of alcohol and then the green tea hits you and a dry finish.
M - Medium body with dry mouthfeell.
O - Interesting collaboration beer. The hops may have faded somewhat as I have had this bottle for a few months. The green tea aspect is noticeable but I don't think it adds anything positive to this beer. At 6.99 for a 12oz. bottle this is a bit overpriced for what you get.

Got this from 2beerornot2beer in the Blind Beer Round 6 BIF.
12oz. bottle poured into my Smuttynose Big Beer Series Snifter:
A: Pours a wonderful golden orange with hues of red and yellow. There is only about a half finger of pure white head, that settles quickly. I get some nice lacing as it drinks.
S: Big citrus notes (tangerine, lemon, and grapefruit) with some serious malt as well. There are some underlying tropical fruit notes, but it's mainly citrus and malt.
T: This beer starts off with a blast of sweet malt, but that almost immediately shifts into huge citrus flavors. Massive orange and tangerine, some lemon and a bit of grapefruit. Those flavors last until the finish, which adds just a touch of sweetness.
M: Medium bodied beer. Tons of citrus flavors, with a decent amount of malty sweetness. The carbonation is light, but it persists from start to finish.
O: I'm loving the citrus flavors in this beer. It's not overbearing, but it's pronounced. Wonderful.

Appearance. Pours a hazy, amber-gold with half a finger of white head.
Smell. Citrus fruits, mainly oranges and grapefruits, a little toasty malt and a hint of green tea that I wouldn't have picked out if I wasn't looking for it.
Taste. Grapefruits, piney hops and citrus rinds, bitter hops. Again, I can taste the tea, but wouldn't have known it was there if I wasn't looking for it. A little boozy.
Mouthfeel. Medium+ body with medium carbonation. A little warm.
Overall. Not a bad ipa, just not mind-blowing. I like that there is a charity effort behind this one. For that reason, I would drink it again.

Picked up a bottle while the Stone rep was still at the store so it's as fresh as I will be able to get. Sounded interesting! The beer pours a crystal clear golden honey color with a decent 1 finger white bubbly head. Some retention and lacing. There is a fair amount of fine sediment as well. The aroma is...odd. I am picking up a chemical-type character like plastic? Also a lot of citrus hop character. Not sure what's going on here. Starts off with a citrus hop character but is immediately overwhelmed by a strong tea flavor, which I believe was what I was picking up on the nose. Doesn't seem to balance well and is difficult to swallow. The plastic character is really detrimental. I don't think the tea works at all. I can't say I've ever had a Tea Beer and honestly doubt I ever will try another after this beer.

A: This poured an opaque dark straw with chunky sediment and moderate off-white head.
S: It smelled like orange and lemon zest, with grapefruit and a little copper hops and honey.
T: It tasted like very bitter citrus zest and copper, with unripe grapefruit and light caramel malt, and a little herbal hops. It had a very bitter lasting aftertaste.
M: It was watery with lots of carbonation. Very light body.
D: This was a decent IPA, but didn't have any real tea character and the other flavors weren't delicious. The body was a bit weak, and the finish was a bit harsh. So each element was less than great, and when put together it was a below average beer. Still not bad, but really not that good.

Review from BeerAdvocate Magazine Issue #55 (August 2011):
Brewed to help Japan's Tohoku region disaster relief effort—good ideas come from good people. Dull, hazy golden hue, and a good lacing to boot. Green tea comes through just enough in the nose and lets the hops float around for a while. Smooth, creamy medium body. Green tea flavor sticks to the palate from start to finish. Hops are bold with a thick herbal flavor and more restrained bitterness to let the tea and, well, the beer come through. Mild dry breadiness from the malt. Alcohol is warming but not a bother. Tea flavors and hops linger into the dry finish. An amazing extreme brew for a great cause.

A – Bright, orange gold. White head settles into a medium halo.
S –Light, floral hop character. Honey, orange blossom and a hint of sweet grapefruit. No green tea in the nose really.
T – Soft and mellow profile. Distinct, dry green tea opens the profile before hiding behind a honey and herbal center. The green tea returns on the backend and lingers through the finish.
M – Soft, medium body with low carbonation and a soft bitter finish.
O – A masterful execution of the brewer's vision, with great green tea flavor. Stunningly quite booze for 9.2%.

Kevin hooked me up with this beer recently and I'd forgotten he did until a couple of days ago. We'd split one at City Beer Store a few months back and I was the only one in our group that enjoyed it. Thanks again, Kevin!
Pouring into a New Glarus pint glass. Hazy orange with a thin off-white foam that's retaining well. Lots of sediment floating around in the glass.
Living up to its name, there's an unmistakable green tea-like aroma protruding in front. A floral, jasmine-like scent immediately follows. Also detecting a faint citrus.
Firmly bitter but a unique soap/floral flavor takes the first strides but stubbornly makes room a green tea latte sweetness. Somewhat spicy hop with a lingering jasmine floral character in the finish.
Medium bodied, moderate carbonation.
While this beer may have accomplished what it set out to in terms of a green tea flavor, as an Imperial IPA it just can't hold a candle to the better examples of the style. Soapy/floral mix is off-putting and detracts from drinkability. Despite that this is only 12 oz, I do not intend to finish.

Poured from an inch or so above or so above the glass give you a really big white head that slow fades into a pretty decent lacing above a particle filled but otherwise clear honey golden color.
Pine, sour citrus leaning towards lemon, with some floral yet herbal hops aroma.
Light pine with some citrus hops taste with a slight sour bend to it.
A dry almost puckering aftertaste on this medium bodied IPA that is pretty decent but lacks the hops bite I kinda like in Imperial IPA's.

Amy Winehouse was unmercifully booed at a Serbian concert last night as she wandered the stage incoherently, in what the local paper called, "the worst [concert] in the history of Belgrade."
At one point Amy gets so discombobulated ... one of her background singers comes over to sing the song for her.
Tickets to the show were roughly $57 -- a lot, considering the average monthly salary there is only about $428.
Money ... spent.
This is tremendously disappointing, since Amy has amazing talent. It's starting to appear, though, that she's going to choose booze and drugs over an amazing life of performing. What a shame. I hope she manages to pull it together and go to rehab yet again...and make it stick.
Good luck, Amy.
Oh dear. Someone's going to find her dead in a gutter in the next few months. She needs Britney's dad to step in and put her in a conservatorship. It's pretty sad & wrong on so many levels. It's sad to see someone doing that to themselves. It's sad for the concert goers who don't deserve to be disrespected like that, especially in poor countries. It's sad for her band who know they are probably going to be out of a job sooner rather than later, and who don't deserve to be dragged down by the front person acting like a rank amateur. She needs to be sectioned for a long time. Does she have a manager or someone steering this ship?
Cue SNL skit.
But seriously, this CNT pisses me off. With all the truly deserving AND talented people who would give their left nut to get a shot at a music career... and this twit is still allowed to be on a stage. Just take it out back and shoot it, she's past her self life due date.
What a mess this girl is, drugs will kill you. Take it from me. At one time she wasn't all that bad looking with a decent rack and some meat on her bones. Now, forget about it. She needs major help and someone to get her out of the entertainment business and into a live in rehab center for the next year or 2.
How Sad!!!!!!! She just got out of ReHab yet again, or left on her own..... Her Parents need to take some sort of Conservatorship over her..... What Manager of hers lets her get this Messed up/
Haven't the Serbs been through enough? They shouldn't have to be subjected to that...On the other hand, I love her and I hope she gets the help she needs. She has an incredible talent.
who is her management? They should not be allowing her to perform in this state. She's ruining her career.
- Amy will OD within a year.
- A bio flick deal will be completed within five years.
- Marisa Tomei will be cast as Winehouse and win Best Actress.
I didn't hear any booing in that clip. Granted she was a total mess and sounded awful, I still didn't hear anything but cheers for her. Way to stir the pot, TMZ.

Risk Aversion and Expected-Utility Theory: A Calibration Theorem
Within the expected-utility framework, the only explanation for risk aversion is that the utility function for wealth is concave: A person has lower marginal utility for additional wealth when she is wealthy than when she is poor. This paper provides a theorem showing that expected-utility theory is an utterly implausible explanation for appreciable risk aversion over modest stakes: Within expected-utility theory, for any concave utility function, even very little risk aversion over modest stakes implies an absurd degree of risk aversion over large stakes. Illustrative calibrations are provided. June 2000Download Info

LA JOYA – A $2.4 million project that La Joya Independent School District approved late last year, is finally going to the next phase. The school district approved engineering, material and civil services and an architect last week so construction of the building could proceed.
La Joya ISD partnered with the Federal Emergency Management Agency after being awarded funds to build a community safe room in December 2012.
The project cost is paid mostly by the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. La Joya ISD will be paying 25 percent of the cost.

DIV seeks applicants with innovative ideas that address development challenges more efficiently and cost-effectively than the competition, and that have the potential to scale to reach millions of beneficiaries.
The DIV application process consists of two steps. Applicants must first submit a Letter of Interest (LOI). After a competitive review process described below, DIV will request that selected applicants submit a Full Application. More detail can be found in DIV's guiding document, the Annual Program Statement, and on our Frequently Asked Questions page. Additional questions may be sent to email@example.com.
USAID/DIV welcomes applications from many types of organizations for activities that take place in countries in which USAID operates. For complete information on applicant eligibility, please closely read DIV's APS.
Application Process
The DIV application process balances the needs for both a rigorous and efficient selection process while reducing the burden on the applicant.
Step 1: Letter of Interest (LOI)
Interested applicants must first submit an LOI. All LOI submissions must be submitted using the LOI form. As requested by the LOI, applicants should describe the purpose of the project, summarize the project's goals, and include financial information for the project among other criteria in the LOI. Attachments to the LOI will not be reviewed. If DIV finds the project proposed in the LOI to be responsive to the selection criteria, then the applicant will be invited to submit a Full Application. Please note that an invitation to submit a Full Application does not constitute intent to award.
Upcoming LOI deadlines for DIV applications are
- August 15, 2013
- December 16, 2013
- April 15, 2014
Deadlines close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern.
Letter of Interest: Stage Selection
Applicants choose one of DIV's three stages when submitting their LOI. Stage level selection should be based on how far the proposed project is in its development and to what extent the applicants have previously gathered evidence of its success. Staging is not based on the level of funding needed.
To determine which stage your project falls under, please read stage details in DIV's APS.
Letter of Interest: Evaluation Factors
LOIs will be evaluated on the degree to which the proposed solution demonstrates:
For the LOI form, information on the review process, timeline, and scoring, award administration, and further clarification, please see DIV's Annual Program Statement.
Step 2: Full Application
Not all applicants who submit an LOI will be invited to submit a Full Application. Selected applicants will be sent the Full Application form with submission instructions. The Full Application form requests additional and more in-depth information than the LOI. It is provided in the APS for informational purposes only.
For complete information on the application process, including eligibility details, successful proposal examples, and evaluation criteria please closely read DIV's APS.

Great Customer Service/Wonderful Product

We received a very timely response and a PERFECT product. The delivery was quick and packaged very nicely. Every transaction I had with MagnetStreet was professional and friendly. I would highly recommend this company.

Welcome to the Radio Jihad Show on the Radio Jihad Network.
RJ Host Vito Esposito will unravel the current events of the day making the complex easy to understand.
America is under attack. There are elements in our society that believe Government rules the people in accordance with Socialist, Marxist, and Fascist ideologies.
Our Founding Fathers created The Constitution and Bill of Rights because they correctly believed that a governments power is derived from the citizenry.
One of the greatest threats to America comes from the Islamic Threat Doctrine. Islamists believe that our man made laws are second to Laws of Allah or Islamic Law (Shairah).
We will expose and examine how these varied threats against America are real and dangerous when seen through the Prism (no pun intended) or world events.
Call in and lets talk about the news of the day.
God Bless America and God Bless Our Troops

Anyone who drinks alcohol can experience a hangover, but some people are more susceptible to hangovers than are others. A genetic variation that affects the way alcohol is metabolized may make some people flush, sweat or become ill after drinking even a small amount of alcohol. Research hasn't clearly shown whether light drinkers or heavy drinkers are more likely to experience hangovers. Frequent drinkers may build up a tolerance that decreases their risk of hangovers.
Factors that may make a hangover more likely or severe include:
Drinks with a high congener content include:
By comparison, drinks with a lower congener content — such as lighter colored beers, gin and vodka — are somewhat less likely to cause a hangover. However, while lighter colored drinks may slightly help with hangover prevention, drinking too many alcoholic beverages of any color will still make you feel bad the morning after.

Excellent product. One thing I'm not sure about is that the package is frequently opened by NZ Customs. You always put a plastic package containing a sample of a fruit drink. It is possible that the drug/imported fruit detection dog may pick up the scent. I never try the sample and always dispose it. However I can't fault your service and product quality.

The Regional 7B Girls' Tournament ended the basketball season for the Philip Lady Scotties. The game against the New Underwood Tigers was held in the Rapid City Civic Center on Thursday, March 1. Leading at the end of each of the three first quarters, the Lady Scotties seemed on the verge of taking the Regional title, but, beginning with the first possession of the fourth quarter, the game turned on Philip.
The Philip Scottie boys simply could not outrun the Crazy Horse Chiefs in the first round of District 13B Basketball Tournament play at White River. Philip was out scored by Crazy Horse 88-105 in a high scoring game Monday night, February 26. The score was close before the Chiefs increased the tempo on both defense and offense. Though Philip led 22-21 at the beginning of the second quarter, Crazy Horse went on an 18-32 shooting frenzy to take over a 40-53 lead at the half. Casey Elshere led the Scotties with 24 points.

yeah, I'll rate your team, sure :D can you give me your nidoquen set? From the looks of it, it seems as if it's the weak link to your team.
Hey Miles, I know you're a great battler, and a great teambuilder as well, so can I ask you a favor? Recently, I've been working on a team- and though it's a bit unorthodox (unusual) it's still really solid. I was wondering if you could test it for me please, and then maybe tell me what you think about it? Here's a link I wanted to make sure that it was solid before I made an RMT. Thanks for your input! :D
hey man :) sorry I had to go so quickly and I wasn't able to help much. We should definitely talk more in the future!
thanks :D I'm looking for awesome dudes to be friends with and I saw your profile, so I thought you'd be the person i was looking for. I also saw your many posts on RMTs and your RMTs as well which shows that your a pretty good battler. Hope we can become good friends :D
Ok I looked at it, its really cool and a nice theme aswell. I can see that others have addressed the teams problems and I have nothing left to add except that I suggest you go with Chimpakt's suggestion of Rotom-W becuase Rotom-W is definitely one of the best counters to Mamoswine. Hope this was helpful.

Valuation Premium
Definition of 'Valuation Premium'
The rate set by a life insurance company based on the value of the company's policy reserves. The valuation premium is calculated by an insurance company. The company ensures that, first and foremost, it has adequate policy reserves to cover payouts. Once the value of the policy reserves is determined, the insurance company can calculate the valuation premium that will cover its liabilities. In this manner, the insurance company can make sure that it will have the assets necessary to cover all of its policies.
Investopedia explains 'Valuation Premium'
A valuation premium is a life insurance calculation that bases charges for premiums on the company's liabilities. At times, an insurance company may opt to set a premium that is lower than the calculated valuation premium if their experience and statistical records indicate that a lower premium is justified. In the event that a lower premium is charged, the insurance company would be obligated to hold the difference in a deficiency reserve.

Definition of paramecium in English:
Line breaks: para|me¦ciumPronunciation: /ˌparəˈmiːsɪəm
( plural paramecia)
Zoology - A single-celled freshwater animal which has a characteristic slipper-like shape and is covered with cilia.
- Genus Paramecium, phylum Ciliophora, kingdom Protista
More example sentences- Contact with protozoa, the tremendously varied group of more sophisticated single-celled microbes that includes amoeba and paramecium, has also been greatly reduced in the developed world by water and food treatment measures.
- In 1911, he reported on the effect of hematoporphyrin and light on a paramecium and red blood cells and described skin reactions in mice exposed to light after hematoporphyrin administration.
- Parameciums have a permanent feeding mechanism, consisting of a funnel-shaped gullet into which food is drawn by the combined action of the cilia. They feed on small organisms such as bacteria and even other smaller protozoa.
mid 18th century: modern Latin, from Greek paramēkēs 'oval' from para- 'against' + mēkos 'length'.

LICs and CHSFL finals: How you voted
The high school football season might be in the record books, but it's not officially over until we reveal how you voted in our "Pick the LICs and CHSFL championships" gallery.
So without further ado, here are the final results (for the purposes of this chart, "Team 1" refers to the first team listed under the "Game" column, while "Team 2" refers to the second team):
Floyd vs. Farmingdale (Class I LIC) | 527 | 267 | Floyd, 31-14 |
Garden City vs. Riverhead (Class II LIC) | 243 | 140 | Garden City, 29-16 |
Sayville vs. Lawrence (Class III LIC) | 560 | 465 | Lawrence, 21-20 |
Roosevelt vs. Babylon (Class IV LIC) | 151 | 220 | Babylon, 48-18 |
St. Anthony's vs. Chaminade (CHSFL Class AAA) | 357 | 163 | Chaminade, 17-16 |
St. John the Baptist vs. Xavier (CHSFL Class AA) | 146 | 56 | Xavier, 35-24 |
A few tidbits from the data:
- Overall, readers went 3-3 for a .500 winning percentage, making the final postseason record 47-21 (69.1% winning percentage).
- The three games that readers missed: Lawrence's win over Sayville in Class III, Chaminade's victory over St. Anthony's in the CHSFL Class AAA championship, and Xavier's win over St. John the Baptist in the CHSFL Class AA title game.
- Readers were mostly on par with Newsday/MSG Varsity experts in the voting. Carl Reuter went 5-1 and Andy Slawson went 4-2 for the only above-.500 winning percentages of the week. Gregg Sarra and Bob Herzog each went 3-3, and Laura Albanese went 2-4.
- By percentage, readers had the most confidence in St. John the Baptist, giving them 77.2% of the total vote in that game.
-The most-voted on game of the week was the Sayville-Lawrence Class II championship showdown. That game attracted 1,025 total votes, the most of any matchup this postseason. Lawrence, the winners of that game, garnered 45.3% of the total vote.

I'd rather have the discussion after 15-20 games (with him here)...
I know it isn't fair to rip him to shreds at 3 games in, but it's natural to open the dialog. Many people were upset we traded our SG star for him and said he's a competent player that will ratchet up our defense. Thus far, our plus/minus is horrendous when he plays...the worst on the team. His shooting percentage is under 15%, I think...it was 20% for the first two games, then he went 0-5 before his ejection. Oh, and what did he say to get ejected? I was courtside and it was..."F$%^ You, Whitey" to the Caucasian referee. No, I am not kidding and that's why he wasn't talked to or just given a tech.
Given our other shooting guard, Felton, shoots 30% (including a high percentage from penetration where he probably make 7/10...meaning his shots from the field are low percentage)...what do we do to overcome our SG woes? The SG we had was our best scorer and now it's our most unreliable position, even over the 4 or 5 spot...especially with Emeka, Ajincia, and Hollins improving, and Diaw doing very well.
I am not willing to write Bell off and don't think 3 games makes or breaks him, but let's talk about why the transition has been rough and why he's underperformed thus far.
I'd rather have the discussion after 15-20 games (with him here)...
Hence, me being openminded and saying to not tear him down. I wanted to discuss, why he may not be transitioning well and if this is the right system for him.
I, again, am not writing him off after 3 games...that would be ignorant. There is many discussions on this board about a single game performance or even thoughts on the trade before we saw him play at all. I think the discussion is worthwhile as now it is our most troublesome position, ironically, despite it being the one position where we were "overloaded".
I'd love to talk about it too, it 15-20 games. But it's silly to have any discussion off the table until then on a message board about the Bobcats when it was a major, major trade and we're struggling.
I was told by someone in the organization one trade being considered was Diaw and some other players (including Morrison) for Curry and David Lee. Diaw just got here and is performing well. Players could be dealt away and not be here is 15-20 games at this pace. We can and should talk about the team openly.
Bell is pressing , trying to hard . Hes out of rythem , He konws his shot isn't falling and hes just pissed at his self. After 0 for 5 again he just vented his flusteration the wroung way. Give Bell time to get adjusted.
Why the hate for Felton . I havn,t looked but i bet you hes shooting close to 40 percent if not better on the season. Give Bell about 10 more games be for passing such a harsh judgement on him.
As far as Swish goes Diaw seems to be doing ok on this side of the trade.
Hear is this years stats so far Felton is shooting .398 much better than the .300 you saying . DJ isn't shooting much better at .415 . Should we hate on him to.
Last edited by dav7z; 12-17-2008 at 11:56 AM.
this is as happy with a roster as I have ever been with a Charlotte Bobcats team.
Raja isn't even a concern for me. It's a new team, a new city, and he isn't a star player... he is what he is. He will gel with the guys and produce good defense, about 10 ppg and 5 or so boards. Raja isn't gonna score 20 a game like Jrich... but he wont have to anymore i dont think. He will add a defensive touch that Jrich didn't give us and still be a guy who can hit an open J when needed. (even though he hasn't here yet) I think we are seeing a transformation from an outside game to an inside game and i love it. (more consistent, easier buckets, higher % and more free throws)
Raja can be supplemented easily for DJ, Matt, Adam or Ray at the SG spot when a little extra scoring is needed. My whole thing about this trade is this: When Larry is happy, the teams he coaches win. We weren't winning so screw it... make Larry happy and see what happens. So far I dig it. Just scanning the bench I feel so much more secure than I used to. It just feels more like a competent NBA bench. that is no disrepect to Dude and definetly not Jrich.... I just like seeing Howard, Diaw and Raja (proven winners) sitting or playing. Its comfortable.
I will be so highly pissed if we re-route Diaw and Bell to New York for Curry and Lee. I like the way this team has started off already and theres plenty of room to grow. Please front office... let this play out. Lee and Curry just makes us less athletic, and even less fun to watch.
Into the crevasse!
"Climb down Lemon, Climb down"
Felton is shooting 39.8 percent this year and 30 percent from behind the line. And as for Bell I agree with the idea he is pressing. As for the trade for Lee and Curry, I'd probably do it, depending on who was involved other than those 2 and Diaw, but only because I love David Lee's game and have been wanting him on the Bobcats for a few years now...Curry, not so much.
I understand you like Lee... thats cool. I kind of like his game too.
I can't see how he in any way is better than Diaw. Maybe rebounding...but in my opinion it will put us in the exact same situation we have been in. No offense down low... and no one is scared of Lee hurting them offensively meaning Okafor wont be freed up to score down low either.
I see Lee as a Joakim Noah type. a very good bench rebounding, put back hustle kind of guy. but definetly not an adequate starter at PF. I would rather stay athletic and offensively capable, than get 3 more rebounds a game.
Into the crevasse!
"Climb down Lemon, Climb down"
as i posted in yesterday's blog comments...raja is washed up. offensive performance is expected to dip when you enter a new system with new teammates. raja's defense is not that good. he has lost a step and can not guard the better guards in the league anymore. joe johnson blew by him more than a few times. we should trade him if we can.
No you didn't! Was this "someone" stating that we were actually thinking about it or was he/she just repeating the New York article?
Jesus H. Christ...we can't be THAT dumb can we? David Lee will NOT stay here; he told Memphis that if they traded for him he would not re-sign. Not to mention he'll probably get upwards of 9 million per year, and unless he's developed it he has nothing outside of 10 ft.
Raja...a disappointment so far to say the least. Like I mentioned in another thread though Jason Richardson was struggling under Brown early on as well. I think he's studying too much on when to shoot vs. not.
If he gets back to what he's shot for the last 5 years (over 40% from 3) and he can still play passable defense I'll be fine with him.
Hope Resurrected: "I think I can bring an attitude to a team as far as, All right, no matter what, we are not losing this game'." - Kemba Walker
"Its okay to be bad; just so long as you're bad ass." - Keetch
"I don't care if he uses a sophisticated pulley and tackle system to get his shot off if the bitch goes in."-Mustachio
sure, we can talk about raja...but what is there to talk about? it's all speculation..you have one game and 3 mins of another game to talk about.....talking about him is just going to lead to more discussions about the trade etc , which are irrelevant at this point - the trade happened and so far we look better in the first two games.
we need more games to evaluate raja.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This product works wonders for after long ride recovery. 30-70 mile rides take a lot out of you and when you have a 18-22 mile ride in the next day or two you need sure muscles. Recoverite speeds up the time it takes your muscles to be ready for the next round. Nice smooth taste, easy mixing. Looking forward to my next Hammer endurance product.
Mild Taste
Member since
Unlike many sports drinks, Recoverite has a very mild taste. Goes down easy and does not upset my stomach. Powder mixes well, leaveing no clumps in the bottom. One warning, rinse out whatever vessel you use for drinking Recoverite immediatley afterward or you will find moldy stuff growing in it the next day.

Linux from the Beginning
A little over a year ago, I started doing my weekly radio segment on Biz Soup. The segments varied from five to fifteen minutes and were available on stations in about 20 venues. We started at the beginning of Linux and have covered what Linux could do, along with the evolution of Linux into what it is today.
Over that year, there have been changes in the radio program as well as in Linux. The program name recently changed to "The Wall Street News Hour", the number of venues has grown and the audience has evolved.
With all these changes, it's time to go back to the beginning and help the newcomers get up to speed on Linux evolution. While the weekly article here is usually just a quick look at what will be covered on the radio program, this one is more detailed so it can act as background in helping new listeners get up to speed.
For most computer users, a computer is a tool to do a job. Most of those users understand that you have to purchase an applications program to make a computer capable of doing the job. An example of a general purpose application is a word processor which could be used to write anything from a letter to a book. A program to figure your income tax is an example of an applications program designed for a more specific task.
You, the computer users, want to use the capabilities of various application programs. The computer is the platform on which the application program runs. But there is still a missing piece, called the operating system. It could be thought of as the piece which makes the computer smart enough to run the application programs.
Here is an analogy that may help you understand what I'm talking about. Visualize a new office building being constructed. When the construction crew is done, you have what looks like a complete building. It has walls, doors, windows, lights and elevators. But, it isn't ready to be used. That is, in order to function as offices, it needs directories, signs and all the other extras that make it possible for the occupants to use the space.
An operating system is much like the extras in the example above. The operating system takes an inventory of what equipment is available (RAM, disk storage, video card and monitor, mouse, modem, etc.) and then makes this equipment available to the application programs. Also, much like the extras in the office building, the operating system permits sharing of the computer by keeping track of who is using what resource.
This isn't intended to be a lengthy course on operating systems, but hopefully you now understand where the operating system (or OS) fits in the picture.
The most popular operating system out there is Microsoft Windows in its many flavors. Its popularity was guaranteed, because Microsoft managed to get all PC vendors to bundle their operating system with the hardware. This is similar to the way all Apple Macintosh systems ship with Apple's own OS. This doesn't mean a PC will run only MS-Windows, or a Mac will run only the MacOS. It just means that when you get the hardware, you have already bought an OS.
One alternative operating system is Linux. It will run on PCs, Macs and a lot of other platforms including Sun's Sparc, best-known for being the most significant hardware platform on the Internet. Another alternative OS is BeOS from Be, Inc. And there are more.
Besides being available for multiple hardware platforms, there are other characteristics making Linux stand out from the alternatives. These include:
It is available from more than one source
It is free
The source code is available
It comes with a whole host of application programs
Looking at the first two points together, an assortment of companies put together different Linux distributions. A distribution is the Linux operating system bundled with other programs, including installation software and applications. This bundled package may include documentation and support. Each of these distributions starts with the same basic Linux OS, but the different vendors will offer different bonuses.
While the vendors sell these packages, Linux itself is free because it is licensed under what is called the GNU Public License (GPL). Because of this license, you can share your copy of Linux with as many people as you want, or even make copies and sell them. (Note that some distributions contain other licensed software, so while Linux is free, there could be software on a commercial distribution which cannot be redistributed.)
The source code being free means you have the ability to customize Linux itself. While most users will never want to do this, there are two reasons why this is important. First, you don't have to worry about losing support for your particular distribution. If the manufacturer of your distribution goes out of business or decides to go into another business, there are no secrets as to what you bought. A consultant or another distribution vendor can pick up where your vendor left off.
Finally, Linux distributions include a whole lot more in the form of plenty of other software. While Linux refers to the operating system itself, it is also used to refer to complete distributions. Today, most distributions include thousands of other programs. While hundreds of these are the typical utility programs you have come to expect with an operating system (file manipulation and other basics), there are many more. Here is a partial list of the program areas included:
Software development tools, including language compilers, interpreters and debuggers
Systems administration tools, including backup utilities
Web-related programs, including browsers and web servers
Networking and connectivity tools
Graphical user environments
Office suites
You may have noticed each line above was plural. That was not a mistake. For example, there are multiple windowing environments available, so you have a choice. Even multiple web servers, and more than one way to network with other systems, are offered.
Phil Hughes
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn't scale? In today's hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
