Rolling Idaho
What does blue turf, potatoes and Oakley all have in common? Nothing but a fun filled, action packed three-day event in Boise Idaho.
The West Coast Rolling O Lab cruised through the state of Idaho for the first time in a few years and the people of Boise welcomed us with open arms, French fries and home made hospitability that will bring this crew back in the near future.
The first day of our adventure was a treat. The Lab opened at sun set in front of Emerald Lanes, where Oakley hosted a dealer appreciation party at the local bowling alley. Nearly 200 employees from Ski and Board shops came from all over the state to see what Oakley has in store for the upcoming snow season. This time, the O Lab had a special guest to discuss our Tech Outer Wear. Oakley Field Testing's very own Jessie Anderson "wowed" the crowd as she educated the masses with Oakley's dedication to using and re-using our products before they become available in stores. "I'm impressed." Said Nikki Elliott of Oconik in Boise. "I've always liked the gear, but I didn't know how much field research goes with Oakley." And that was just day one.
Our next stop was a secret surprise and when the tunes hit the street, there was a boogie down Boise the whole neighborhood had to check out. Greenwood Ski Haus is the last place to gear up on the road to Bogus Basin Resort. A local's favorite when it comes to slashing fresh turns in Idaho. For the past number of years, Greenwood offers a pre-season sale to locals and this year they had the Rolling O Lab in place to help spread the word on Oakley's dominance on the mountain. They also have the very first Oakley Custom goggle bar in the state. The creativity was running wild.
The last stop on the Rolling Idaho tour supplied the biggest bang in Boise. Oconik, in the Boise Town Center mall, is an amazing shop with a wide variety and an Oakley Custom bar. Dr. Will Black has two optical shops in town and with the help and vision of the Oakley Idaho duo Josh and Tanna Loubek, has Oakley as its number one choice in eyewear at all three locations. "I walked in the main entrance of the mall and Wham! Oakley everywhere. The employees were so excited to see the Lab. It made me feel really good." Said Oakley Factory Pilot Thomas Craig. We usually don't quote our own, but just like eating fried potatoes in Idaho it had to happen.
The West Coast Crew would like to thank Emerald Lanes, Greenwood Ski Haus and a Special thanks to Schnibbe and all the people of Oconik for making our trip to Boise a memorable one. A super, enthusiastic round of High 5's and hugs to Josh, Tanna and Momma Jo for the home cooked meal and hospitality. See you next time Boise!

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Percy Harvin's 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown gave Minnesota a spark to start the second half, and the Vikings overcame another uneven game by Brett Favre in a 24-21 victory over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.
Playing with a bad elbow and the specter of a scandal hovering over him, Favre - who is to meet with NFL security Tuesday about the alleged racy messages he sent to a former New York Jets employee - took a bunch of big hits and finished 14 for 19 for 118 yards, one TD and one turnover.
Randy Moss's first home game since joining the Vikings in a trade turned into an afterthought, but the defense and special teams did plenty to make up for Favre's unpolished play.
The Vikings (2-3) won this matchup of preseason NFC favorites, though even in defeat the Cowboys (1-4) are not out of contention in the mediocre conference.

Eagles Sweep Hatters in A-Sun Doubleheader
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The 23rd-ranked FGCU softball team swept the Stetson Hatters in an A-Sun doubleheader on Tuesday evening. The Eagles came from behind to take the first game, 6-1, and took game two by a score of 7-3.
In game 1, Erica Demers and Cat McDaniel (Melbourne, Fla.) were locked in a pitchers duel througout the first few innings. Both pitchers had no-hitters through three innings. The Hatters finally got to McDaniel in the fourth, plating a run on a pair of hits. Demers looked as though she was going to make that run stand up, but the Eagles offense finally got going in the bottom of the sixth. Going into the inning, FGCU had been held hitless, but in the sixth inning the Eagles exploded for six runs on six hits, including an RBI triple from Samantha Waldron (Plant City, Fla.), a 2-run single from Jessica Gary (Naples, Fla.), and a 2-run shot from Cheyenne Jenks (Naples, Fla.), her 23rd home run of the season. McDaniel shut down the Hatters in the seventh, and the Eagles came away with a 6-1 win in game one. McDaniel earned her 20th win of the year, going the distance while allowing just one unearned run on six hits. She also struck out four and did not walk a batter.
In game 2, the Eagles jumped it front early, scoring five times in the second inning. A three-run triple from Jessica Paez (Belle Glade, Fla.) keyed the rally for FGCU. Morgan Campen (Rougemont, NC) started in the circle for the Eagles, pitching well through three innings before running into trouble in the fourth. Stetson got on the board with a two-run shot over the center field wall from Andrea Migliori. The Hatters added another run in the inning before Campen was able to shut down the rally, still holding a 5-3 lead. The Eagles tacked on single runs in both the fifth and sixth innings, and Dana Frantz pitched three scoreless innings of relief as FGCU took the second game, 7-3. Campen earned her third win of the season, pitching four innings allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits. She struck out five and did not walk a batter. Frantz earned her fourth save of the year, pitching three nearly-perfect innings. She walked the first batter on four pitches, but after that, she retired the next nine batters in a row to finish the game.
The Eagles will be right back at it on Thursday afternoon as they host Belmont in another A-Sun doubleheader. First pitch for game 1 is slated for 5:00 PM at the FGCU Softball Complex.

CHARDON, Ohio (AP) -- A concert, memorial walk and service activities are planned to commemorate the anniversary of the shooting at a northeast Ohio high school that killed three students last year.
The (Willoughby) News-Herald reports that a carefully planned agenda has been arranged to recognize the anniversary at Chardon High School on Feb. 27.
Prosecutors say then-17-year-old T.J. Lane, who was at the school waiting for a bus to his alternative school, fired 10 shots at a group of students in the cafeteria. A judge has ordered a psychiatric evaluation to determine if he is competent to stand trial for murder.
Linda Ross, a Chardon High School library/media specialist, outlined the commemoration plans for the school board earlier this week.
"Our goal is to have it as a day of service," Ross said. "The activities are based on a student survey -- what they wanted to do."
The school will organize activities including making blankets for Project Linus, a nonprofit organization that provides blankets for ill or traumatized children.
Chardon students received blankets after the shootings. "When they received their blankets they just wrapped themselves up in them and got great comfort from that," Ross said.
Students, staff and first responders will hold an afternoon memorial walk to Chardon Square for a gathering of remembrance and an evening candlelight vigil will be hosted by the city on the square.
On the day before the anniversary, a school commemorative choir and band concert will be held at St. Mary Church across from the school.
The concert and all school buildings will be closed to the media Feb. 27. The school will have added security.

Cute Little Girl Scouts by Troop848 - over 6 years ago
"We ordered these shirts to keep track of our little girl scouts when we go out together on trips. The green really stands out in a crowd, which is great for counting little bodies in motion and the design was so cute everybody loved them. Custom ink was in constant contact with us and turned them around a few days earlier than when we expected them to arrive! This picture was taken on the first day we wore them, which happened to be at a 2-day sleepaway camp, and it was the first time many girls EVER were away from their parents overnight. Go Brownie Troop 848!"

About Us
IILJ Scholars in J.D. & J.D.-LL.M. Programs
IILJ Scholars Program - Details and Application Information
For Graduate Scholars, see separate listing.
The Institute for International Law and Justice each year selects a small group of outstanding J.D. students as IILJ Scholars. The Program provides carefully tailored individualized mentoring and opportunities to this group. Scholars work closely with the Law School's permanent and global faculty members in international law on joint research projects. They participate in the development of ideas and scholarship with other IILJ JD and Graduate Scholars from around the world, and with Visiting Fellows and Researchers. They are carefully selected to draw upon, and enrich, an exceptionally fertile and energetic intellectual community.
IILJ Scholars take part in IILJ events throughout their time at law school. The third year students, together with IILJ LL.M. and Graduate Scholars, typically participate also in a weekly IILJ seminar on international law research and scholarship, designed to assist them in producing far-reaching research papers for eventual publication.
Scholars are selected either before coming to Law School, or at the end of their second year. Many stay at the Law School for a 4th year, in the IILJ's J.D.-LL.M. program.
NYU 's pioneering J.D.-LL.M. program for prospective academics and international law specialists is believed to be the only one of its kind in international law in the U.S.
Recent cohorts of Scholars have taken up a range of positions following graduation. Many Scholars accept clerkships in US Circuit and District Courts, the US Court of International Trade, in international courts, including the International Court of Justice. Some take up positions in leading firms (including, in the period 2008-2011, Skadden; White & Case; Freshfields; Debevoise & Plimpton; Sidley Austin and Cleary Gottlieb) or in government, particularly the State Department. Other Scholars are undertaking fellowships with a range of NGO and advocacy organizations, including the ACLU, Human Rights Watch, the Center for Reproductive Rights and New Orleans Public Defenders. More information about the opportunities for Scholars to work with different organizations both during and following the J.D. is available under Professional Experience.

The sequester, the sweeping budget cuts slated to hit on March 1, would have severe impacts in Western Mass.
The Pentagon announced Monday that more than 700 civilian workers at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee would be forced to take one unpaid day off a week starting in late April if those budget cuts aren't stopped.
Both Westover officials and local business owners say it will hurt the local economy.
"It'll definitely affect our readiness because if we don't have people as often as we need to have them it'll cut back on our training, and if we're not training we're not as ready as we usually are," said Col. Steven Vautrain, 439th Airlift Wing commander.
Hundreds of people from ground crews, medical crews and flight crews would be affected, forcing the base to reduce flying hours.
Those facing furloughs would see a 20 percent pay cut.
Vautrain says it doesn't just hurt individuals, but the surrounding area as well.
"There's definitely a big effect on the local economy, this affects Westover, it affects the local economy, it affects the national economy really," he said.
The base pumped $238 million into the local economy last year.
That would be reduced by 10 percent if the spending cuts aren't stopped, taking nearly $24 million out of the local economy.
"It is a chunk of our business," said Gene McGreevy, co-owner of Aurora's Pizzeria on Westover Road.
He says his business and others are sure to see a cut in their bottom line.
"When they talk about furloughs for people in the military, there's a bunch of businesses here that could be affected, yeah, it's a concern for everybody that's on this strip."
But, as a Vietnam War vet, he says it's about even more than just money.
"These folks here volunteer their lives, they put everything on the line," he said.
Vautrain says the base will prepare for the cuts.
"If we're called on to go do something, we wouldn't have as many crews as we normally would."
If an agreement isn't reached by March 1, the nation will face $470 billion in across-the-board spending cuts.
That's on top of the $487 billion in cuts the Department of Defense is already making over the next 10 years.

CLEVELAND -- Jamal Crawford scored 24 points, making a pair of 3-pointers in the fourth quarter, and Chris Paul had 15 assists as the Los Angeles Clippers ran away in the final period and beat the Cavaliers 105-89 on Friday night for their first win in Cleveland since 2002.
The Clippers had lost 10 straight at Quicken Loans Arena.
Blake Griffin had 16 points and 11 rebounds as the Clippers, having their best season in franchise history, won their fourth in a row. After Griffin scored on a monster dunk -- off a lob from Crawford -- to put Los Angeles ahead by 23, Clippers coach Vinny Del Negro pulled his starters with 4:19 left.
Rookie Dion Waiters scored 17 for the Cavs, who played their third straight game without injured All-Star Kyrie Irving.
With Los Angeles leading by 11 and unable to shake off the Cavs, Crawford converted a four-point play to put the Clippers ahead 75-71 with 9:51 left.
Never one to pass up a shot -- whether he's open or not -- Crawford was fouled by Marresse Speights while knocking down a high-arching 3-pointer from the deep corner. He then made the free throw, giving Crawford 37 career four-point plays, extending his NBA record for the quirky play.
It seemed to send a jolt through the Clippers, who were understandably sluggish after playing at Indiana on Thursday night.
After a basket by Eric Bledsoe, Crawford banked in another long 3 to beat the shot clock. As he retreated on defense, Crawford complained to the officials he had been fouled, but to no avail. The next time the Clippers had the ball, Paul drained a 3 to make it 93-76 and Cleveland fans began heading toward the exits.
C.J. Miles had 16 points and Tristan Thompson 15 for the Cavs, who were within nine to open the fourth but didn't have enough firepower to match the high-flying Clippers.
Griffin beat Cleveland's Tyler Zeller down the floor and soared for an alley-oop dunk, getting fouled on the play by the rookie center. As Griffin picked himself up before shooting and making his free throw, Paul had a word or two with Zeller, who shrugged and tried to explain the contact was not on purpose.
Moments later, Griffin made a steal near halfcourt and went in for an uncontested dunk, a throwdown that delighted the crowd and would have earned a 50 from a panel of dunk-contest judges.
But just when it appeared the Clippers might take off, Waiters scored four points and the Cavs went into the fourth down 77-68.
Named the Eastern Conference's top rookie in February after averaging 15.8 points, Waiters came out hot. He made his first four shots and scored nine points in the first quarter, but spent the final 2:51 on the bench with two fouls. He had 11 points when he picked up his third personal and had to sit.
The Clippers used a 10-run bridging the first and second quarters to open a 12-point lead they extended to 14 on Griffin's three-point play.
Without Irving, and with Waiters in early foul trouble, the Cavs struggled on offense throughout much of the first half.
Although Irving's knee has improved, the Cavs decided to rest him again. Cavs coach Byron Scott wanted his young star to be "close to 100 percent" before he returns.
Notes: Scott coached Paul in New Orleans and has remained close with the point guard, who before the game spent some time visiting in the Cleveland coach's office. "He's an unbelievable guy," Scott said of CP3. "We've got a great relationship." ... Forever a Laker, Scott said it pains him to accept that the Clippers are now the kings of basketball in Los Angeles. "It hurts me to see the purple and gold where it is right now," Scott said. ... Clippers C DeAndre Jordan, who came in shooting 42 percent from the line, shot an airball in the first half that wasn't within 2 feet of the rim.

"Kitty Was Amazing!"
This was my first time at the Brooklyn Night Bazaar and I was amazed at how many vendors had cool things to sell. Most were pretty expensive so I held off the impulse buying until I reached the food area (kind of like a small indoor Smorgasburg). There's a good amount to do at the Bazaar and getting in was easy due to the RSVP (Thanks Flavorpill!) so I'd recommend going early so you have time to walk around.
came on around 11 and she was awesome. She was a LOT more comfortable
than when I saw her at the Knitting Factory and has come into her own
both with her voice and her stage presence. She mainly performed songs
from her latest EP, D.A.I.S.Y. Rage, but she did her hit single (Okay
Cupid) as well and kind of played to the crowd a little, which was cool.
All in all, the concert was pretty great and Brooklyn Night Bazaar is
definitely worth making the trip out for.

By MARY KAYE DAVIS
MT. VERNON — A 56-year-old man and a teen-ager were arrested in separate incidents Thursday after allegedly causing disturbances.
Albert P. Banks, no address given to police, was arrested around 10:30 p.m. Thursday on a charge of criminal trespass to land after being told twice to leave the Potomac Boulevard McDonald's restaurant.
Police were first called to the restaurant at 4:04 p.m. after it was reported a man — later identified as Banks — was causing a disturbance and refusing to leave, according to Capt. Steve Lamar, press spokesman for Mt. Vernon Police Department.
A restaurant employee asked that Banks be removed from the property. Officers told Banks to leave or face arrest.
At 6:03 p.m., an employee of McDonald's called the police department again to report that Banks had returned and had been asleep in the restaurant's lobby for about the past two hours, according to MVPD telecommunicator reports.
He was told again to leave by police.
At 6:54 p.m., Banks was reported back again, but left before police arrived.
Lamar said Banks was found later near Applebee's, where he was arrested. He was taken to the Jefferson County jail, with bond set at $1,000.
At 1:10 p.m. Thursday, city police were asked to respond to the Safe and Alternative School, 2300 Benton Road, to deal with an "aggressive student," Lamar said.
Police arrested a 14-year-old male on a charge of aggravated battery.
"He had physical contact with the teacher several times and was also threatening to the teacher," Lamar said.
The teen was released to his parents.

Illinois State's wait is over, and as coach-in-waiting, Tim Jankovich's wait is just beginning.
After more than a week of speculation,
Jankovich announces Thursday that he's leaving ISU.
Jankovich spent five seasons in Normal, going 104-and-64 and leaving a talented team behind.
He will be SMU's associate head coach and coach-in-waiting
under Larry Brown.
Jankovich just signed a five-year contract extension at ISU, but
his pay will go up from 455-thousand a year to 700-thousand, more than a fifty percent increase.
Illinois State Athletic Director Gary Friedman did not name an interim coach. The players we spoke with say they expect everyone will return next season for the Redbirds.

The Atlanta Braves are looking into privately financing a transit system to get fans to Turner Field faster.Team officials believe that traffic and transportation challenges dissuade fans from attending more games. They want to put an aboveground train to link the MARTA station near the state Capitol to transport fans to Turner Field. The proposed solar-powered train would sit about 2.5 stories above the ground and use magnetic levitation instead of "wheel on steels" tracks. It would take fans about .9 miles to the stadium's gate in 70 seconds, according to Braves Vice President Mike Plant. While this would be a private project, FOX 5's Morse Diggs reports that the team has the city's blessing. It could be up and running by opening day in 2015, according to Plant.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

5 Tips to Get the Stress Out
Ready, Set, Simplify
The night I put my forehead on the table at dinner, my husband -- in that dim-but-starting-to-get-it way of married males -- deduced that maybe life had become too much of a joyless slog for me. "You need to have more fun, honey," Haywood said. "Why don't we have some people over?"
"A dinner party?" I snapped. "What I need is a break, not more work."
Haywood was right about one thing, though: I do need to have more fun. The problem is that he's disinclined to plan this fun -- and not because he's lazy or incompetent. It's a quirk of his blithe and optimistic soul to believe that good things simply happen, dispatched from the heavens by a beneficent universe.
My husband's idea of "planning" a get-together is to phone me from the golf course to spring his great idea of bringing the guys home for pizza and ask if I could maybe call their wives to join us? My reaction to such a proposal? Me, with the house where breakfast plates sit in the sink, dog hair wafts down the hall in tumbleweeds whenever the air-conditioner kicks in, and my harried self is still unbathed at 5 p.m.? I'm thinking this does not sound like a viable source of stress relief.
Now I've read all the standard advice about how to reduce stress, increase joy, and just generally feel more delighted with life. Spend time with friends! Go on a date with your spouse! Pamper yourself with a massage! Take up a new hobby! Take a family hike! And it all makes sense, it really does. What could be nicer than a home filled with love and friends, or a family life spent in shared adventure?
But one of the great ironies of all these stress-reduction strategies is that every one of them involves a bucketload of stress to pull off. Just to dine out with my husband, I have to coordinate with our 16-year-old to make sure he'll be home to babysit his younger brothers, 10 and 11; call around to be sure at least one neighbor will be home in case of an emergency; shower, dress, and feed the kids; make sure the cell phones are charged; issue elaborate instructions about what the younger ones are and are not allowed to play on the computer in our absence -- and whom the teen may or may not let in the door -- and then, finally, go to the car, where my head immediately falls back against the headrest, prompting Haywood to say, "Uh, maybe you'd better not have any wine with dinner."
As for having people over, don't even get me started: the housecleaning, the shopping, the cooking, the flower arranging, the music mixing, the renting of a new video to keep the kids quiet, the fretting about what to wear. My husband thinks these "requirements" are imaginary, the figments of my personal paranoia. He's convinced that our friends would be perfectly happy to eat takeout on paper plates. Yet I know I'm not alone in this anxiety and exhaustion: My friend Sally once got so worn-out cleaning and cooking for a dinner party that she was still in the shower when the first guests arrived. Unaware that her husband had opened the front windows, she heard a car door slam and yelled, at a volume sufficient for the whole neighborhood to hear, "What kind of losers come to a dinner party on time?"

NORMAL, Ill.-- Several organizations joined forces Saturday to help Central Illinois residents recycle unwanted items.
For residents who may have done some spring cleaning, on Saturday they had the chance to do some fall flinging.
As in flinging those unwanted items over to organizations that need them, like home sweet home ministries.
"We're collecting household goods, we're collecting shoes and clothing and we're collecting food to help people here at home sweet home ministries," said Matt Drat, Community Development Director at Home Sweet Home Ministries.
The recycling fair also accepts old cell phones, used batteries, hardware and prescription medications all items that are difficult to dispose of.
The VFW also was collecting old flags.
But the top-drop off item of the day is older model tube tv's which gave volunteers quite a workout.
State Senator Jason Barickman says this is a chance for community members to empty out their garages while helping the environment.
"If we can encourage people to recycle goods rather than put them in landfills it's good for the environment, it's good for the people that get to use the recycled goods and in essence it's good for all of us," Barickman said.
Home Sweet Home Ministries Matt Drat says this kind of event gives all of the organizations involved a better chance at collecting the items they need.
"Being able to have a one-stop-shop for people who want to recycle the items were talking about makes a big difference for us," said Drat.

Baker Leaves Men's Basketball Program
FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU men's basketball coach Dave Balza announced that senior guard Reed Baker (Naples, Fla./Bishop Verot HS/Michigan) resigned from the program on Monday and will not return for the rest of the 2010-11 season.
"We want to thank Reed for his numerous contributions to our program and the University," said Balza. "He has been an integral part of our FGCU basketball family for the past four years and it's unfortunate that he has decided not to finish the season. We will miss him and wish him the best in the future."
Baker started 14 games this season and was the team's second-leading scorer at 14.4 points per game. The Naples, Fla. product scored 949 points over 74 career games in the blue and green, finishing in double figures 45 times. Baker led the Atlantic Sun in free throw percentage in each of his two previous seasons.

By JORDY KIVETT, Good For You
---- — Fresh apples are so delicious.
Though apples taste good all year, they are especially crisp and flavorful right now. It is no surprise that the North Country is full of apple-related traditions, such as picking apples at the orchard, canning applesauce and enjoying apple pies. Not only are we lucky to have so many orchards nearby, but also to have such a huge variety of apples. Each orchard has its own unique offerings, from hard cider to petting zoos.
My favorite quality of the apple is how low maintenance it is. It is the perfect grab-and-go food; no need for refrigeration or cutting and peeling, and it is resilient to a few bumps if it is rolling around the bottom of your bag. Apples are also very versatile and taste great raw or cooked and added to sweet and savory dishes. There is such variety in types of apples that everyone can find one to love, whether it is juicy, has a crispy texture, or has a sweet or tart flesh.
If you are looking to do something with apples — besides enjoying them as is — this is a great time of year to experiment. If you buy a big bag at a local orchard or are lucky enough to have apples growing in your yard, there are so many ways to use them. Here are some ideas:
▶ Slice raw apples and pair with sharp cheese or peanut butter and yogurt as a dip. They can also be added to peanut-butter or ham sandwiches, or mixed into a green salad or coleslaw.
▶ Baked apples taste great when stuffed with oatmeal, cinnamon and a little maple syrup. They can also be filled with blue cheese and pine nuts. Top chicken or pork with apple slices before baking them for a sweet compliment to a main dish. Apples also taste great on top of white pizza with spinach and bacon.
▶ When cooking greens, such as kale, the sweetness of the apple is a nice compliment to the vegetable's natural bitterness. Lightly sautéed apples make a great quesadilla filling with cheddar cheese.
▶ Try keeping the skins on when you make applesauce. The skin will not break down like the flesh, but a quick pulse in a food processor or blender will break it into small enough pieces that it won't be noticeable. If you are peeling the apples, try using the Macintosh variety because they cook down very smoothly, with no need to mash or blend.
▶ If you have a food dehydrator, you can make crispy apple chips by dehydrating apple slices overnight, or until they are very dry and crispy. They should last a few months in your cupboard in a sealed container. They are such a great snack, though, that I would be surprised if they were still around after a week.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Though that may not be literally true, eating apples is definitely good for your health. Apples have been linked to a decreased risk for lung diseases, such as asthma and cancer, and are known — like many fruits and vegetables — to have a positive impact on heart health and diabetes. An average-sized apple has fewer than 100 calories and is a good source of fiber. Much of the nutrients from the apple are found in the skin so try to leave the skins on your apples even if a recipe calls for a peeled one.
Since apples are so delicious and so good for you, plan a few trips to the orchard this season.

Notes From Another GroundPosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
This post is a bit of an experiment, to see if what I am sending from St. Pete's will transmit safely back home. I'm borrowing my title from Dostoevski's novel Notes from Underground that serves as both an ode to this city and a celebration of self-loathing on a level that is truly stupefying, and instructive to the general civic character.
I've had many adventures to recount in two days here, some of which will be of great interest to readers of Sequenza21. But let me begin by setting the location.
Physical: St. Petersburg is on the Northern European Plain, at the end of the Gulf of Finland, on a latitude with Oslo, Norway and Anchorage, Alaska. Yes, it's cold. In my very thorough preparations for this trip, somehow I forgot to bring gloves.
Historic: This city was Tsar Peter the Great's gift to Russia 300 years ago: a dose of European sophistication for his ignorant peasants. Dostoevsky called it "the most abstract and premeditated city on the whole earth." He should have known, having spent his entire adult life here, except for a few years in Siberia for offending the Tsar's sense of propriety. The city blossomed in the 19th century, then morphed into Leningrad, Petrograd and back to St. Petersburg in the 20th, with a level of neglect that is difficult for Americans to imagine. But the 300th anniversary celebration last year brought many improvements, or so I'm told.
Cultural: St. Pete is dominated by three very conservative cultural institutions, The Rimsky-Korsakov Conservatoire, the Hermitage Museum and Music Academy, and the Kirov Ballet. More on each of these in posts to come.
So that's a brief encapsulation. As I have time, I will report further on a fascinating composers seminar, orchestra rehearsal standards, and other observations from the other side.

has anybody had any experience with this board?
is it any good? it would probably be replacing my p35-ds3r

If you are thinking about it ask for pic's of the chipset with the heatsink removed first without the chipset being cleaned, look to see if the factory grey or pink crap is still there, if so pass on the board. If not, ask for a high resolution pic with the thermal paste cleaned off and look for marbeling on the die itself and discoloration on the PCB of the chipset ( it should still be green and not greenish borwn ). If either of the 2 are present, pass on the board. If not then ask for a pick of the backside of the board and look for discoloration on the backside of the PCB where the chipset is, if there is any then once again, pass on the board but if not. Hey, it's your money.
Another thing to note is to ask for proof of all 4 memory slots being fully functional. This can be done by asking for a picture of the system completing memtest with each set of memory slots occupied so you should ask for 2 pictures with the board and monitor in view showing that the system can complete a run of memtest with slots 0 and 2 occupied then again with slots 1 and 3 occupied. Many early 680i board had problems with memory slots failing.
Also, if the seller is unwilling to go thru the hassle of taking the above pic's, pass on the board unless it's free. With hardware that has the horrible history that the 650i and 680i chipsets has, you need to make absolute sure the hardware you are looking at has had all preventative measures to prolong it's life taken early in it's life.
The above applies to all Nvidia 6xx and 7xx chipsets due to heat related failures which account for almost all failures of boards with these chipsets.
It would be nice if a 680i board didn't require this much inquiry but this late in the game it's recommended you avoid them altogether but if you are serious about purchasing a 680i board you need to ask these questions and require the above proof of the boards current condition.
Lastly, a "good price" for a 680i board would be $20 - $30 shipped tops and even then I don't know about using "good" anywhere in the description of any aspect of buying a 680i board now.
Personally, I'd much rather have a P5B-E with a 965 chipset over any 680i board. My old P5B-E was able to push a C0 E8400 to 4.5ghz with 4gb of OCZ Flex DDR2-1200. I know 965 board are dirt cheap nowadays and while they don't support Sli, neither does your current bboard and the 965 chipset was far more reliable than the 680i's ever were.
If you are on a budget then look for DFI 965 dark boards, Asus P5B's and similar 965 boards that support your CPU. They OC better tan 680i's, they are more reliable and they can be had very cheap. You can even find some P43 boards in the budget price range though you'll be giving up raid but if you don't use raid thats a good option as well.

Poured a nice deep mahogany with burnt sienna hues in the light. Nice white piling cap that lasted and laced all over. The aroma is of caramel, pine, bit of herbal tea, honey, and hints of grapefruit. The flavor is of the above but also develops a mild hint of toffee as it warms. This almost has an English barleywine tone to it, which is both surprising and pleasant. A very delicious, well made beer.

Bottle side poured into tulip. NOT RETIRED!!!
A- Deep brown copper colored with A fluffy fingers worth head.
S- A dance of hop and malt dominate the nose with sweet overtones.
T- Taste picks up where the nose leads and leaves off. Big hops bite at first sip and finish very sweet and rich of malt. Not overly dry, nicely balanced.
M- Medium- full bodied ale but not syrupy as I have commonly found in ales this sweet.
O- I'm so glad they brewed this ale again. I remember is being a lot hoppier from the last time I had it but I am certainly not complaining. I am going to have to agree with reviewers past. It is a stretch to classify this as a DIPA/IIPA as it is a bit on the malty side of things. All this considered, great story that's associated with this product. Would buy again and again. Cheers.

4.5/5 rDev +13.1%
Appearance: Very clear light copper/medium amber. An aggressive pour produces a light tan head about a finger high, which leaves some lacing on the glass.
Smell: Piney, citrus and spicy hops aroma with a fair amount of caramel aroma. There is a thick spicy sweetness that reminds me of a scotch ale.
Taste: Piney and spicy, I'd almost say there is some rye in there from the spiciness but that could be from the hops or fermentation. There's a lot of hops bitterness but there is a good amount of sweetness in front but not overwhelming. The hops bitterness and flavor linger into a very long and enjoyable finish
Mouthfeel: Medium-full body with light carbonation. There is a bit of warmth and little slickness which do not take away from the enjoyment of the beer.
Overall Impression: A very good beer that doesn't quiet fit the DIPA category. I'd love to see this made with rye and a little more carbonation.

3.9/5 rDev -2%
Appearance: Looks to be highly carbonated, with a multitude of bubbles coming out of solution. The head of a restrained pour was about 1" tall of light beige. The beer itself poured a light brown with brilliant clarity.
Aroma: Thick malt sweetness with hints of lemon, pine, and another distinct aroma that I can't quite name. Sweet tree sap?
Flavor: Deep hop bitterness causes and immediate bite up front until it is quickly followed up by syrupy sweet malt and caramel. Bitterness remains throughout the drink, which finishes wet and hoppy.
MF: Big and syrupy with a very nice warming alcohol touch.

Tasted May 13th 2011 (from notes)
Poured into a Pint Glass
A - redish/copper transparent, one finger off white head and some lacing
S - sweet yeast, fruity, bright malt, alcohol, sweet hops, slight bitterness and a slight grass and citrus
T - alcohol, hoppy, sweet yeast, citrus, floral, sweet malt and a caramel or molasses
M - chewy, huge profile, medium low acidity and a long finish
D - goes down like water even at almost 10%. big sweet and medium bitter. Well balanced
Final thought - got to get a sixer or four every year this seasonal comes out

A: deep clear amber w/a somewhat minimal head receding to a decent collar of lace.
S: caramel malts, grapefruit and resiny pine.
T: saa. Medium sweet caramel malts and a nice smooth somewhat spicy hop bitterness.
M: just over medium body. Would like a touch more co2.
O: very reminiscent of double jack and hoptimum.

F*ck You.. this beer is good. real good. no beer snob here. Just a hardcore IPA head. This one was legendary in status. Longest lingering aftertaste of all time and it was lavender.. silky smooth..
Sweet, mighty tasty DIPA. Better than Maximus. Closest in taste and quality of Double Jack by Firestone..

What a BANG for the Buck! $8.99 a sixer I imediatly grabbed 3 of them(didn't have any more $$) Anyhow... turned out to be a great brew, kind of gots a scotch ale/barleywine flavor to it but not bad at all.Like others have stated could of used another dowsing of hops but there is something tasty about this brew that just keeps you wanting another.Be careful while partaking though... this one could potentially Shut YOU Down!

Good for such a high alcohol content. It is like a cross between a barley wine and a double IPA. It is sweeter than the doubles or Imperials that I like, and the body is more thick. It is hoppy, but not as hoppy as I like... I like insane hoppy it is about 3/4 to the level I enjoy.
If they jacked up the hopps a bit and found a way to thin the body just a hair... the beer would be perfect.

CAYUGA, Ind. —
During the 2012 season, the North Vermillion football team had its best season in school history and was one of the best teams in the state.
The Falcons went 12-1 and did not lose a game from the start of the season until the IHSAA Class A Regional Championship.
The offense ranked seventh in the state in points scored per game with an average of 43.31, meanwhile the defense ranked 26th in points allowed at 13.08. Much of the team's success came from quarterback/defensive back Brayden Woodard, the 2012 Commercial News Player of the Year.
"He was crucial to what we did this year." North Vermillion coach Brian Crabtree said. "Brayden ran the option so well. He and Kody (Zumwalt) were so good running that it made it hard for a defense to zero in on just one of them. An athlete like (Woodard) makes your offense so dynamic and hard to stop."
The junior quarterback had over 3,000 yards of total offense with 49 touchdowns, but he realized early on the importance of his teammates.
"I had a great team around me and we really came together this year." Woodard said. "The offensive line was great, giving Kody (Zumwalt) and me lots of running room. The receivers and I were almost always on the same page too. It was great."
Football is a team sport so it's difficult to give one player all the credit, especially on a team with this much talent at nearly every position. That being said, Woodard had an incredible stat line in 2012.
With his arm Woodard completed 61 percent of his passes, and threw for 1601 yards and 19 touchdowns.
On the ground Woodard was even more spectacular. He ran for the second most yards on the team with 1,496 and a team-high 30 touchdowns.
His partner in crime was Kody Zumwalt, who ran for 1,677 yards and 22 touchdowns.
Woodard's offense is not the only reason he is the player of the year, as he also had success on defense.
At cornerback Woodard had 22 tackles and intercepted the opposing quarterback four times, returning one for a touchdown.
"He didn't get a ton of tackles but usually if a corner does, there's something wrong with your defense," Crabtree said. "What he did was make it hard to throw against. He had four interceptions this year and each time he had the ball in his hands on defense it wasn't just a turnover but another chance to score."
The season began with a new coach and with that a new system of offense. While the Falcons returned to the spread offense, new terminology and having to make a good first impression were early obstacles that he leaped over with ease.
"My first impression of him was what a great athlete he is," Crabtree said. "He's a great runner but I was more impressed with the way he led by example. When things went well he did a great job spreading the credit around to different guys and that's a pretty important demeanor to have from a leader and your quarterback."
As the season progressed Woodard continued to impress his coach.
"There were a couple times against Rockville and Covington that before the ball was even snapped you could tell it was going to be for a long touchdown run and sure enough he'd follow through with it." Crabtree said. "But my favorite memory from this season came in the game against Covington. We were running the option and he pulled the ball and with what he read, he really should have pitched it. I exclaimed something from the sideline but then sure enough he made two or three Covington guys miss and he ended up scoring on a long touchdown run."
In that game, Woodard ran for 204 yards and four touchdowns on just eight carries. He also threw for 116 yards and a touchdown in the 68-7 win.
Woodard's favorite moment this season came from arguably the biggest game against Fountain Central Mustangs.
At the time both teams were 7-0 and while North Vermillion was respected, the reputation of the Mustangs made them the favorite for that game.
In that game Woodard scored one touchdown on the ground and one through the air, but most important he led the Falcons on a come-from-behind victory in the fourth quarter. The Falcons won 25-21 and staked their claim as Wabash River Conference Champions.
"The Fountain Central game was the one that stood out." Woodard said. "They've been the top team for like five or six years now. That was a fun, hard fought game and when it was all done we felt like we had taken over as the best team."
The team went on to win the Wabash River Conference and the Sectional Championship for the second consecutive year and third time in school history.
The dream season came to a halt when the Falcons lost their regional matchup to Indianapolis Scecina 27-0.
With all the accomplishments, awards and recognition, Woodard is already looking forward to the 2013 season.
"I hope we're even better next year." Woodard said. " I've been pushing a lot of guys to spend time in the weight room and keep working. We have the pieces, it'll just be about putting them all together like we did this year."

continues to strengthen its presence in the US marketplace thanks, in part, to the recent appointment of Clayton Blick as national sales manager, according to Kim Templeman-Holmes, Harman Pro North America (HPNA) general manager and vice president.
Based just outside of New York City, Blick is now overseeing all aspects of Studer's domestic sales efforts on a daily operations basis, and HPNA is actively recruiting further members for the Studer USA sales team. Blick will initially focus his main sales activities on the eastern half of the country, with a western region sales manager to be appointed shortly.
Blick comes to Studer from Sony Electronics, Inc., where he spent 17 years in various sales and marketing capacities including, most notably, a seven-year stint as national sales manager for the company's professional audio products group. Prior to that, he served as a pro audio systems sales consultant for RCI of Silver Spring, MD, and as a self-employed audio engineer and consultant.
"With over 30 years of experience in the pro audio business, Clayton is a tremendous boon to Studer," says Templeman-Holmes. "He is intimately familiar with both the high-end recording and broadcast console markets and has an extremely broad knowledge base having been everything from a mix engineer to systems integrator to sales manager. In short, he's an ideal national sales manager for Studer USA and we look forward to his contributions and leadership." "I have long admired Studer's reputation for quality craftsmanship and am very proud to be working with the brand and Harman," Blick says. "With new NAB products like the Vista 8 and OnAir 3000 in its lineup, Studer continues to reconfirm and expand its commitment to both the television and radio broadcast markets. And with Harman Pro North America managing the US distribution channel, I believe that the company is truly poised to enjoy the same widespread success in this country that is does nearly everywhere else around the globe."

spam blocker
Spam blocker is the phrase used to describe a type of computer software that is designed to prevent spam, or unsolicited e-mail sent in bulk to a large number of recipients, from going directly to the inbox of your e-mail client.
Also known as spam filters, spam fighters or anti-spam utilities, spam blocking software has evolved from simply watching for keywords in the subject line of messages to using advanced technology like Bayesian and similar heuristic filters to help identify spam through suspicious word patterns or word frequency.
