Providing Wildflowers for Pollinators
If you are adding plants to your garden, plant flowers in clumps of at least 3 feet across to help them be more attractive to passing pollinators. Choose native plants wherever possible as they have evolved with native pollinators and the local environment. To attract butterflies, include their host plant in your pollinator garden.
Regional plant lists for pollinators:
- Maritime Northwest Pollinator Plant List
- California Plants for Native Bees
- Great Lakes Pollinator Plant List
- South Central Plants for Native Bees
- Northeast Plants for Native Bees
- Mid-Atlantic Plants for Native Bees
- Southeast Plants for Native Bees
- Butterfly Gardening

CATEGORIES Drama, Independent, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Casting, Newsstand, Remakes and Sequels, Cinematical Indie, Movies, CinematicalA guy stars on the one the best TV series of all time, and all he can get is a lame, second-banana gig in the Matrix sequels. Then he shows up on a show of debatable quality that everyone watches, and he's got jobs coming out of his ears. Yes, I'm talking about Harold Perrineau. And no, I'm not surprised, just a little depressed. Don't get wrong -- I'm happy the man's getting gigs, just a little resentful that it didn't happen during Oz.
My own pouting aside, things are looking damn good for Perrineau these days: In the past few weeks he's signed up for gigs in three upcoming films. The first is 28 Weeks Later..., in which his role as "an upbeat American Special Forces pilot who documents and leads to safety the families returning to London after the viral outbreak" sounds likely to be pretty small (I'm thinking, like, Richard Dawson in King Rat small here). The others, however, could be more substantial. He'll be playing Richard Roundtree (who in my mind is at least three times Perrineau's size) in Matthew Wilder's Philip K. Dick movie -- recently retitled Your Name Here -- because, at least within the weirdass world of Wilder's film, Roundtree is obsessed with Dick. So to speak. In addition, Perrineau will appear in the harrowing-sounding Gardens of the Night alongside John Malkovich, Jeremy Sisto and Diana Ross' little boy Evan.

Daniel Spargo-Mabbs classmates pay tribute outside Archbishop Tenison's School before funeral service
Updated 2:55pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in News By Robert Fisk, Chief Reporter
Daniel Spargo-Mabbs classmates lined the pavement outside his school to pay their respects as his funeral cortege went past this morning.
The 16-year-old died in hospital on January 20, after slipping into a coma after taking MDMA at a warehouse rave in Hayes, west London, in the early hours of January 18.
He was a popular student at Archbishop Tenison's School, Selborne Road, Croydon.
And in a statement his family said: "Daniel was the loveliest boy.
"It is impossible to sum up such an amazing and rich character in just a few words.
"Dan was a real individual: funny, passionate, caring, considerate, courageous and outrageous, committed, strong, charming, chatty, witty, quirky, articulate, intelligent, loving, kind, trustworthy, loyal, practical, adventurous, mischievous, cheeky, warm, energetic, silly, political, interesting and interested, humble.
"Emerging as he was as an adult, it was very exciting to see the potential he was displaying for the person we knew he could have become.
"He engaged everyone he met, and those of us who lived with him have had our lives enriched by his presence in them."
His family and friends have gathered at Emmanuel Church, Normanton Road, South Croydon, for a thanksgiving service and private burial service which is being led by Reverend Bridget Shepherd.
She said: "Over the last few weeks our thoughts and prayers have been with the Spargo-Mabbs family following the death of their son Daniel.
"As we host a service to remember Dan today, we share their sadness, and join with them to express our grief at his death, and our gratitude for the gift of his life.
"Dan's family, friends and school will remain in our prayers in the coming weeks and months.
"We look forward to supporting the work of the Daniel Spargo-Mabbs foundation, and hope that it will make a difference to the lives of many young people and their families."

PIERRE, S.D. – Gov. Dennis Daugaard and First Lady Linda Daugaard rolled up their sleeves today to get vaccinated against the flu, and they urge all others to do the same.
"As new grandparents, we've learned that babies younger than six months are too young to get the flu vaccine but are at high risk for complications if they get sick with the flu," the Governor said. "Grandparents should protect themselves and their infant grandchildren by getting vaccinated, and we encourage everyone else to do likewise."
South Dakota has already confirmed four cases of influenza, all in children. Children account for a significant number of flu cases and hospitalizations each year and also spread flu in communities. The state provides free flu vaccine for all kids from six months to 18 years of age.
Yearly flu vaccinations are recommended for everyone, but some groups are at higher risk for complications, including young infants. Pregnant women, people older than 50 and those with chronic medical conditions are also at higher risk.
The state Health Department says South Dakotans can help prevent spreading the flu by practicing common sense measures such as frequent hand washing, covering coughs and sneezes, and staying home when ill. Learn more about flu prevention at flu.sd.gov

Pre-Snap Read Review of No. 17 Kansas State

Across the nation, people took time to honor Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his work, and Minnesotans didn't let some frigid temperatures stop them from taking to the streets in his memory on Monday.
This year, the timing of the holiday coincided with the president's inauguration -- and it seemed to give the meaning a boost.
Four years ago, President Barack Obama began took office one day after Martin Luther King Day, and many remarked that his dream was being realized. This year, that dream became a theme in the president's speech.
Nearly 50 years after that dream was first shared in his historic speech, there was still a lot of enthusiasm in Minnesota -- even if there were so few degrees on the thermometer.
The annual march down Marshall Avenue in St. Paul was not at all hampered by the sub-zero chill. Rather, it was warmed by the idea of a day with a double duty -- the nation's first African American president began a historic second term.
At the park named for King in Minneapolis, an evening ceremony drew well despite the cold as people gathered to remember a man who faced much worse than a wind chill, to remember how far we've come, and to remember to keep going forward.
On the other end of the mall where Obama delivered his speech, King drew crowds to speak of equality in 1963 -- and that's a dream Obama says the nation must work to achieve.
"History tells us that while these truths may be self-evident, they have never been self-executing," Obama said.

In one month, you can start buying Christmas cards designed by Phoenix Children's Hospital patients.
We're introducing you to another PCH Christmas card artist. Here's Kailah's story.
10-year-old Kailah Franco is giving me a lesson in art. How to draw the perfect Christmas tree. From the right shade of green to the ornaments, this little artist knows her stuff.
It's hard to believe the road this sweet 5th grader has traveled.
She was diagnosed at the age of 7 with AML leukemia, a form of cancer that is seen mostly in older people, rare for kids her age.
She fought 9 months with the help of the doctors and nurses at Phoenix Children's Hospital. During her treatment, they made sure she felt right at home
"They were really nice. we got to do homework, there was a school there. There was an arts and crafts room that I would go every day to and draw or paint," says Kailah.
It's been 3 years now and she is in full remission. Today she is full of zest, a personality that will melt your heart.
She loves math, adores the color pink and loves to eat shrimp. She's also been able to attend Camp Rainbow twice and this year she was chosen as one of the artists for PCH's annual Christmas card fundraiser.
She was thrilled when asked to do it!
"I was excited and surprised. I said I'm going to be famous!"
She and the other artists' cards go on sale November 1, online, and at Safeway stores around the valley.
Before we parted, Kailah left this piece of advice for all the kids that are fighting right now: "I would say don't think about it just have fun."

The purpose of the present publication, Unlisted Infrastructure Debt Valuation & Performance Measurement, which is drawn from the NATIXIS research chair at EDHEC-Risk Institute on the Investment and Governance Characteristics of Infrastructure Debt Instruments, is to design the first academically robust, yet operationally implementable valuation and risk measurement framework for investing in illiquid infrastructure debt.

From our Euro Style Lighting family to yours, we wish you a very Merry Christmas!
I am a huge advocate for beautifully designed kitchens with stylish pendant lights. The kitchen is in fact the heart of the home so it should be treated with care and love. Cheesy, I know. But when you have a well designed kitchen, it can benefit you tremendously.
Now, most of us don't have thousands of dollars to throw at our kitchen. Even if our budgets are small, there are things that we can do on that will make a huge difference in the design of our kitchen. One of those details is a fabulous pendant light above the kitchen island or breakfast nook. Here are some fantastic examples.
You see in the image above that the owner took a vintage pendant and placed it above the work area in the kitchen. It's clean, it's classic and so cool. It also looks great paired with the mint colored cabinet.
I'm in love with this light fixture. It's a grouping of cord lights and it makes a huge statement for this kitchen. I also want to point out that even though this kitchen is simple in its layout and appliances the owners have warmed it up. That fantastic rug, baskets for storage and other wood and stainless steel accessories are perfect additions to this kithcen. It's a chic space!
This simple stainless steel light adds character and goes well with all the other stainless steel accents throughout the space. It's scale is large for a more dramatic look. I'm sure it brings ooo's and awe's from visitors.
Get the look:

In the spirit of Christmas tomorrow, we found some trees that fit perectly with a modern Christmas... Just in case you're running behind on your decorating. Or, they're also great ideas for next year!
Do you love the warmth and coziness of a real tree, but hate the mess? Well look no further; we have some of the best creative solutions for your modern Christmas! The Infinite Indoor Tree by Johannes Molin (above) is definitely a favorite. There are infinite ways to display it, hence the name, so I have no doubt you'll find one that works perfectly for you. And of course if you get tired of it after a few days, you can always change it up!
This plywood Christmas Tree (above) is so much fun. It's like a gorgeous modern sculpture that you just might not want to take down after the holidays! It's a perfect accent to your modern home decor and would glisten with some modern lighting shining brightly on it.
I know there are quite a few minimalist out there and this tree (above) is the perfect one for you. The solid walnut base and core is very streamlined and allows the modern decorations to stand alone. This would be perfect in a room filled with mid century modern furniture.
Pascall White Plastic Side Chairs
If you love rustic modern interiors then this is the perfect idea for you (above)! These tree branches are cut to perfect proportion to create an oh so balanced tree. The decorative lighting drapes across each branch and make the ornaments glisten, giving such a happy and peaceful feeling
This tree pairs perfectly with the industrial side chair (below).
Elio Gunmetal Dining Chair
And here's one final idea! Just do away with the actual tree and create a tree on the wall with the actual ornaments.You could sit and stare at this tree for hours! It's such a work of modern art!
No matter how you're decorating for the holidays, be sure to have fun with it! Happy Holidays to you all!

Welcome to the latest series, Outfit to Interior! In each post we'll be exploring the intersection of fashion and design, and boy-oh-boy it's a big place the navigate. Each inevitably draws inspiration and influence from the other. So let's take a look at translating this Valentino silk-crepe jumpsuit with modern lines and just the right amount of skin into an interior design project. The elegant silhouette and keyhole back give us plenty to work with.
What we're looking for first and foremost in a piece is a modern, sleek, and sexy vibe. Clean lines and metals with just the tiniest hint of surprise. Some interior designers are adamantly against ceiling fans, but I'm of the opinion that so long as it's fresh and fits the space then go for it! I love the feeling of a cool breeze and can't imagine life without them in my home. The Quorum Dragonfly Collection's Nickel Finish Ceiling Fan fits all of those requirements. The streamlined light grey blades offer up a little something different in the looks department, can't you just imagine our Valentino lady lounging about underneath?
A pair of Black Linen Cylinder Shade Antique Brass Swing Arm lamps would be a great match for our girl's bedroom or reading nook. The eleven-inch high black linen shades give these classic beauties just the modern unexpected touch we're looking for. I think our gal would place the Glitz Crystal Contemporary Table Lamp somewhere a little unexpected, like on a table at the end of a hallway or on the kitchen countertop. The bright chrome finish and sparkling inlaid crystals would brighten up any dark corner.
Throwing an impromptu dinner party is the hallmark of any modern woman, which means a great table with a great light fixture as the focal point. Check out the Possini Euro Pendant with White Frosted Concentric Shades. The frosted inner glass, brushed nickel finish, and white fabric all play together perfectly to create a piece that's both sleek and classic.
I'm betting her signature dish is something deceptively simple and delicious, like Chicken Tika Misala or Spaghetti Bolognese. And while she's in the kitchen cooking up such tasty dishes, she's probably doing all of her prep work right under a trio of Atmosphere Possini Euro Pendant Lights. I love the way their modern aluminum finish is "sliced like fruit" to let all of that glorious light shine through, quite the show-stopper!
This Contemporary Frameless Round Mirror measures nearly three feet across! If that doesn't make a modern statement, I'm not sure what does. I think it would look at home in our girl's entryway or hanging over the fireplace. And she could always change it up by placing it over the credenza or behind the couch. Endless possibilities, we love that in a piece!
Last but not least, our modern woman needs somewhere top perch while entertaining or surfing her favorite shops. A pair of Zuo Modern Wendover Steel Dining Chairs are just the ticket. The sleek silhouette and leaf-like back would be equally at place in the dining room or behind a desk.

At the moment, I'm obsessed with desk lighting – it's probably because I'm one of those designers that would rather have good table lighting on than an overhead light during the day. Let's say goodbye fluorescent lighting, shall we? There are tons of desk lamp styles to choose from – industrial, modern, contemporary, traditional, the list could go on and on. I've chosen two of my current favorite desk lamps to highlight in this "get the look" feature.
There are a lot of things to love about this workspace (above) – my favorite is a pharmacy-style desk lamp. I've got to say that if you want to get this look, the Bruno desk lamp (below) is an honorable take on a 1933 design manufactured by the Kaiser Company in Germany.
Robert Abbey Bruno Bronze Pharmacy Desk Lamp
The rich bronze finish makes it a stand out piece. Having this light on your desk is bound to get your creativity going.
Want a more modern and iconic desk lamp? The Draper is perfect for you. This mid-century retro and classic style (above) is one lamp that I find a lot of clients and friends looking for – it's luckily sold right here.
Draper Black Mid-Century Desk Lamp
What I love even more about this version (above) is that it has two lights, which can illuminate your desk with either one or both lights one. It's a must have if this is your style.
What kind of desk lamp are you coveting for your workspace?

Honey Baked French Toast
What you eat is more important than when you eat it. Breakfast is the most delicious meal of the day, but it doesn't matter so much when in the day it comes. At least one night a month, we have Breakfast for Dinner — the kind of hearty breakfast you imagine reading about in old Bobbsey Twins books — waffles and bacon, or scrambled eggs with sausages, or French toast with, well, bacon or sausages.
I don't usually like honey, but my daughter forced me to try this recipe once, and I saw that she was right. The honey bakes up into a wonderful caramelized glaze that removes the need for syrup.
Hands-On Time: 15 minutes
Ready In: 40 minutes
Yield: 3-6 servings
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
3 tablespoons honey
2/3 cup orange juice
4 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
Pinch of nutmeg
6 (1/2- to 3/4-inch) thick slices of French bread, Italian bread, or Challah
- Heat oven to 375.
- Put butter and honey into a 9-by-13-inch nonreactive baking dish. Heat in oven until butter melts and honey is bubbling, about 8 minutes. Remove from oven and stir well.
- In another baking dish, whisk together juice, eggs, spices, and salt. Dip bread in, turning it once to coat it well, let it soak about 2 minutes per side, then carefully set each piece of bread into the honey-buttered pan. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until well-browned. Before serving, flip over each piece so the honey-butter side is up.

There are a lot of tough jobs in local government.
Cop. Firefighter. Refuse collection. Sewage treatment plant operator.
But I'm prepared to argue that the toughest job award goes to whichever poor soul is assigned to negotiate with the railroad formerly known as the Northern Pacific. If the nation's second transcontinental railroad needs a new slogan, it could be: "Successfully messing with local governments for 150 years."
That helps explain that while it shouldn't be big news that the city of Tacoma and the BNSF have finally signed a deal that gives each what it wants, it is.
Why'd it take so long? Don't blame government this time. It took six years to negotiate details with BNSF lawyers and even took BNSF 15 months after the City Council accepted the deal to get it through the railroad bureaucracy.
With approval in hand, Tacoma gets ownership of the historic right of way that slices diagonally through the southern part of downtown. That means construction of a mile-long linear park — known as the Prairie Line Trail — can finally begin.
In return, BNSF gets property and permission to build a second access road into its former South Tacoma shops property, access needed to find new industrial and distribution tenants. It also got closure of a road that crosses its mainline adjacent to Interstate 705 at A Street.
No one thought it would take this long. Good thing, then, that while assistant economic development director Martha Anderson was dealing with BNSF, the planning staff was moving ahead with financing, design and engineering. Construction could start by the end of this year.
And this agreement is only the latest piece of good news for the Prairie Line.
• The Puget Sound Regional Council put the project at the top of its annual grant list — awarding Tacoma $1.9 million in federal funds for construction of the segment from the University of Washington Tacoma to South 15th Street. That's on top of the $465,000 it gave previously for design work.
• The United Way agreed to broker a sale of the remaining right of way that sits between its building and the Tacoma Art Museum. That is the area where the city is getting just 20 feet of the 80-foot right of way, with the railroad threatening to sell the rest for development.
• While the Legislature did not pass a revised construction budget, a request from Tacoma legislators for $300,000 to reimburse United Way for the sale price won House approval and should compete well next year when a full capital budget is adopted.
• UWT, which is ahead of the city in development of its segment of the trail because it purchased the right of way outright from BNSF, has started construction. Its project, created by Portland's Place Studio with lots of public help, should open by midfall.
"It's finally happening," said Elliott Barnett, a city planner who has been a primary staffer on the project.
Construction money for the portion through the Brewery District isn't yet in hand, but Tacoma is getting lots of attention from grant-giving agencies because this project is unique. The Prairie Line runs through the middle of a developed city where open space is in short supply. The gentle grade needed by a locomotive also will provide a gentle climb for walkers and bike riders from the Foss Waterway to South 26th Street.
Want historic? It was this right of way that brought the first Northern Pacific train to tidewater in 1873, securing NP's land grant and leading to completion of a transcontinental line chartered by Congress and signed into law in 1864 by President Abraham Lincoln.
Before you start having good feelings about BNSF, though, note that the city now has to fix a problem that came with its newly acquired land. On one edge of the land near the art museum is a billboard with a lifetime easement. To move ahead with the trail, the city will now will have to buy out an easement that should have been BNSF's obligation but wasn't (see slogan above).Peter Callaghan: 253-597-8657 peter.callaghan@ thenewstribune.com @CallaghanPeter

Girl Scouts "Camping and Canoeing" by Girl_Scout_Troop_438 - over 5 years ago
"Frontier Council Girl Scout Troop 438 attended Junior Water Jam (Jamboree) at Lake Mead. We were only 8 of about 100 Junior Girl Scouts who spent the weekend camping next to Lake Mead and spending the day playing water games and learning how to safely paddle around in canoes. We also spend part of the day with a National Park Ranger doing a service project on the lakeshore. Our CustomInk t-shirts were the envy of the event! They say "Camping and Canoeing Girl Scout Troop 438 Water Jam" and have artwork that depicts 2 girls wearning life jackets walking away with a canoe paddle. The original artwork we sent to CustomInk was a somewhat messy and they cleaned it up for us! It looks a lot better than what we originally sent in. At our request, they also added our troop number to the back of the lifejackets on the artwork!"

|Middle class will face higher premiums, taxes
Dear Editor:
Last week in the News-Review, the front page featured what I consider was yet another perfect example of government deception perpetrated on the American people.
The story outlined a Sept. 25, Health and Human Services (HHS) report in which the nation was informed that "The average premium nationally for the second lowest-cost silver plan is $328 before tax credits, or 16% below projections based on Congressional Budget Office estimates. About 95% of uninsured people eligible for the Marketplace live in a state where their average premium is lower than projections."However, before one can fully analyze the much-touted cost savings, one must know the fundamental component missing from the equation. And that component is the rates that were in place before the law took effect on Oct. 1, which when learned, will not bolster confidence in government honesty.
According to a comprehensive 50-state analysis performed by the Heritage Foundation, insurance premiums will increase under the first year of ObamaCare in 45 of 50 states. In the remaining five states that do see a decrease, the existing rates were inordinately high to begin with, resulting in skewed outcomes. Therefore, the following rate increases that I have compiled are based on a 45-state average.
A 27-year-old individual will incur a 72% increase, 50-year-olds a 46% spike and a family of four will be subjected to a 16% rise in monthly premiums.
As it turns out, the 16% decrease as touted by HHS is based on Congressional Budget Office projections for 2016 as compared to the findings of HHS itself, making the entire savings issue a ruse merely to steer public perception in a positive direction after people realized that Barack Obama broke a key promise that the health-care law would "cut the cost of a typical family's premium by up to $2,500 a year."
To add insult to injury, the higher premiums do not take into account the common doubling and tripling of out-of-pocket costs in the form of deductibles that typically range from $5,000 to $15,000 which must be paid by the policyholder before the actual insurance kicks in.
And even though the above percentages are before government subsidies, the entitlement protects mostly lower-income folks, leaving middle-class Americans facing higher insurance premiums and taxes to pay for other people's subsidies, highlighting one of Barack Obama's deeply flawed ideological tenets that teaches, "When you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
For more information, including the 50-state study, please search online: "Study: ObamaCare Results in Premium Increase in 45 States," and "ObamaCare Metal Plans-HealthPocket."

North Platte NRD to take flow meter readings
As harvest gets into full swing, the North Platte Natural Resources District staff is heading back out to the fields to read flow meters. Landowners are reminded that NRD vehicles and staff will be traveling throughout the District during October and November to collect the readings. Landowners are encouraged to visit with NRD staff or call the NRD office at (308) 632-2749 if they have any flow meter concerns or questions.
The readings are use to compile Annual Water Use Reports for producers to determine how much groundwater they used during water year 2012, and how much groundwater they have left for the remainder of the allocation period. The reports will be generated and sent out as the readings are completed. If you have any questions about your Water Use Report, please contact the NRD office.
With winter rapidly approaching, it is important to remember to winterize your flow meters. The NRD wants to remind producers that it is important to drain the water in the pipelines the meters are installed in before it freezes. Ice buildup can damage meters, costing the landowner unnecessary maintenance or replacement costs. If you have any question or concerns, contact Scott Schaneman at 632-2749.

Dannijo, the Print Edition-------
To showcase their Spring 2012 collection, the sister design duo of Dannijo Danielle and Jodie Snyder enlisted the help of photographer Lyle Owerko—who famously shot the image that appeared on Time magazine's September 11, 2001 issue—to photograph their friends wearing Dannijo gems. "The Portraits project we did with Lyle was so well received that the concept has expanded into the birth of a zine about individuals and lifestyle," Danielle tells Style.com of their newest project. The free biannual, launching November 14, is set to be distributed in shops selling their jewelry and in art galleries and restaurants around the world.
"We've used the iconic yearbook format in the context of a newspaper to showcase a range of dynamic individuals who are essentially pioneers in their respective industries," Snyder explains. That group includes designers, influencers, DJs, and musicians like ?uestlove, Mia Moretti, and Timo Weiland, offering fashion tips and trends. For the second edition of the zine, expect more work from Owerko, "maintaining the same black-and-white documentary style of photography," but other than that, the rest is yet to be determined. "Stay tuned. It's going to be about people, fashion ideas, music, film, technology, and philanthropy. Did I give away too much?"

There are many people and processes to help you plan your college journey. One of the key resources is a positive relationship with your academic advisor. Your academic advisor is a faculty member from the department of your major, or, if you are undecided, your advisor is a faculty member who has volunteered to work with undecided students through the University Advising Services Center (UASC). You may have more than one advisor if you have a double major, declare a minor, or take part in a special program.
Another important element for your journey is a clear understanding of both the general education requirements and the requirements of your major. It is important that you know how to choose the appropriate courses and plan for possible minors. Ultimately, it is your decision as to what courses you take and how you prepare for courses. Your advisor can help, but the final decision is yours to make.
Finally, it is important that you understand how to keep track of your grades and your progress towards graduation. Tracking your grades in your courses will enable you to always know where you stand in a particular course and also enable you to predict what you need to do to achieve and obtain the grade you desire. In many cases you need to be able to figure out your quality-point average (QPA) for your major courses.
The following pages will help you to understand these processes and help you plan your time at Clarion University.

Owens Community College's Environmental Club is encouraging area residents to bring their used denim jeans, jackets and purses of any particular color to the Toledo-area and Findlay-area campuses in support of environmental awareness as the student group hosts its fourth annual "Recycle Your Denim" Collection Drive, April 22-26.
The denim collection drive initiative is part of a nationwide effort with the "®COTTON. FROM BLUE TO GREEN." environmental program. Founded in 2006, the denim program gives "new life" to used items by converting them to UltraTouch National Cotton Fiber Insulation. The insulation is then provided to communities in need to assist with building efforts. UltraTouch is composed of 85 percent recycled cotton fibers and is an environmentally safe, non-itch insulation without carcinogenic warnings, formaldehyde or chemical irritants.
Since the start of the "®COTTON. FROM BLUE TO GREEN." denim drive in 2006, the program has received a total of over 500,000 pieces of denim and provided enough UltraTouch National Cotton Fiber Insulation for approximately 1.5 million square feet of insulation to assist with building efforts for communities in need.
At the collection drive's conclusion, all denim materials will be presented to Eisenhower Middle School seventh grader Erek Hansen of Curtice to assist in his personal goal of collecting over 5,000 items for the "®COTTON. FROM BLUE TO GREEN." program. Last year, the twelve-year-old collected 5,019 denim items.
Owens has set up a variety of collection points around the Toledo-area and Findlay-area campuses. Area residents can drop off their denim items on the Toledo-area Campus at the Student Health and Activities Center Room 165 and the College Hall Bookstore. On the Findlay-area Campus, collection points are in the College's Atrium area.
Last year, Owens students collected over 500 denim items as part of the outreach initiative. For more information about the denim collection drive, or to donate, call (567) 661-7583 or 1-800-GO-OWENS, Ext. 7583.

Finally bought a bottle of this. After trying it, I want another one to let it sit for at least a year, probably 2.
Very dark murky orange. Smell is potent and nice. Smelled it as soon as I popped the top on the bottle. Dark fruits, raisins, figs, burnt sugar. Taste is the same, but the ABV makes itself known. Alcohol is very noticeable. Love the mouthfeel. Creamy and just slightly carbonated. I'd rank the taste and the mouthfeel at a 4.5 if the ABV wasn't so noticeable. I feel that after a year or two, the alcohol taste might mellow and makes this even more enjoyable. Very nice though. Not sure if it is worth the money, but still very nice.

Fairly muddled brown color with lots going on, some turbidity through the browness, not much in terms of head. Lovely aroma, damn, coconut is forceful more than any other beer that didn't have coconut in the name. Vanilla, oak, char, chocolate after that. Good warming sensation from the alcohol.
Taste, wow, so much better than Coton and Papier as far as hiding the heat. This is a monster beer. More and more layers of complexity are revealed with each sip. Toffee and caramel are pretty substantial. Maybe some molasses and leather as well. Really appreciate the creaminess of this one, helps hide the alcohol quite well, I kept telling myself how amazing this was at hiding the alcohol, very nice. The woody touches are right in the ideal amount.
Really exceeded my expectations with this beer. Time to start adding to my little stash of this beer.

Half finger of offwhite head, red-brown cloudy body. Swirly surface memory.
Plum on the nose, dark fruit, faintly sour grape.
Taste is sweet with some hops to balance it. Some dark fruit and powerful malt. Peach and fig? Dates. Faintly tart. Some alcohol burn, faintly. Similar to Samichlaus, but less sticky and sweet.
Smooth mouthfeel, decent for the style.
Overall a nice American strong-- paired with Fritos Flavor Twists.
Overall decent

750ml bottle into tulip.
A: A deep brown body pours a finger head of light tan. Carbonation is low and lacing is light and spotty.
S: A nice vanilla and plum aroma, with a good level of spice. a bit of a low intensity aroma for the style. Low but subtle bourbon influences.
T/M: Rich, sweet malty notes, that reflect plums and dark chocolate. Spice on the palate with a long lingering finish. Low hop bitterness. Vanilla shown from the bourbon oak, with bourbon in the background. Bourbon is blended perfectly not too much to over power, but not to light, that goes unnoticed.
O: Overall, this is a solid beer, and with age, it can only get better. I really enjoyed the bourbon influence, as some brews turn one denominational. This beer is a nice offering for the series.

On tap at the Good Life - Massapequa, NY
A - Pours light brown. No visivlbe carbonation, no lcaing. Settles fast into a snifter.
S - Scents of candied fruit, brown sugar, and toffee. A hint of booze is noted in the scent, though not overpowering.
T - This tasted to me exactly like a tawny port. Flavors of dried fruit, caramel, and nuts, give way to a reserved warmy burn of booze. It is a mellowing flavor.
M - Obviously a sipper, this is mellow and if you take your time, is very smooth. The balance makes it quite enjoyable.
O - I found this a great alternative to a cordial, or dessert wine. If treated as such it makes for a great beer.

Thanks to Sam for this one. 750ml waxed and capped bottle into a Cigar City snifter. Shared with schen9303.
Pours a .25 finger cream colored head with poor retention. Beer is a cloudy dark brown. Lacing is spotty and stringy with moderate stick. Big, thick legs. Solid.
Nose is brown sugar, caramel, prune and plum. Syrupy with a big booze presence. Real sweet too. Decent but there's something that just doesn't seem to work here that I can't put my finger on.
Opens prune, plum and logan. Sweet syrup, brown sugar, caramel and some toffee notes in the middle. Boozy on the back end with molasses and more syrup sweetness. Finishes bourbon, leather, some oak, caramel, and brown sugar and molasses sweetness. Weird sweet fruit aftertaste. Again, decent but there's a fruit presence that doesn't work.
Medium to full bodied with moderate to low carbonation. Oily and slick in the mouth and goes down boozy and thick. Finishes accented with a lingering, aggressive finish. Average. A bit too carbonated.
I don't know if age has anything to do with it but this beer just isn't doing well. There's a weird fruit presence that asserts itself in the nose, flavor, and feel that makes the overall experience awkward. Just not for me.

Poured from a 750ml bottle to a Cigar City Snifter.
Color: Dark brown with a tan head.
Smell: Cherry, malts, alcohol (whiskey).
Taste: Same as the aroma. Cherries, malts and alcohol (whiskey).
Mouthfeel: Good carbonation, slightly coarse, alcohol presence.
Overall: Great body to this brew. Taste reminded me of a wine a little bit. I enjoyed it very much. Can't wait to try it aged! Cheers.
