12oz bottle (best before 09/2014) served in a milkshake pilsner glass.
Appearance: Quite black. Cola to ruby red at the edges. Cappuccino brown tan persistent head with lots of persistent strands and islands of lacing.
Smell: Chocolate, roasted malts, hint of citrus and burnt sugar.
Taste: All sorts of flavor blending into one - roasted malt coffee/chocolate, pine and citrus hops. Lots of bitterness, but there is some malt sweetness as a counter note to the bitterness. A real deepness to the flavors of malt and hops.
Mouthfeel: Thick, approaching creamy. Good carbonation.
Overall / Drinkability: American Black Ales are all over the place on style, and I've had some very hoppy American stouts cross over into this flavor range that I get with this. In fact, if someone hadn't told me this was an ABA, I would have thought it was a hoppy stout. All that being said, good appearance, flavor and mouthfeel with this beer and I could easily have another one although at that point I could kiss the rest of my evening away for any sort of productivity. Part of me wondered if the hops should have been stronger, and yet if they were too strong I think the two flavors of hops and malts would have been in conflict, so I think this one was just right, even if the two flavors were simple and deep in flavor. Sometimes too much complexity becomes a muddled mess - so the lack of complexity I think makes for a better beer. I'll have to revisit this beer sometime.

Poured into a Red Oak gilded pint glass.
A: Dark, ominous. Thick head, at least 1.5 inches. This beer absorbs light. It's incredibly thick and has a rich black color. It looks like black coffee. Even the head is colored - a nice, brown thickness. Extremely resilient frothing rings, like a stout.
S: Rich aromas emanate from this one. Apart from a heavy alcohol aroma from it's fairly high ABV, this beer smells of roasted malt, juniper, mint and coffee. It's lovely smell that's almost as good as it tastes.
T: Rich flavors of roasted malt and a lot of hops. Some heavy coffee notes on the aftertaste. A bit of citrus bite to it at first that quickly dissipates into an earthy fullness. A pleasant aftertaste that is not too bitter, but hoppy. The aftertaste is almost identical to a black coffee, with added alcohol. Exhale after a sip and it's coffee coffee coffee!
M: Thick, rich and smooth. Very little carbonation. Lots of bite on the palate after swallowing. No one can claim this is a boring beer. Every aspect of it is loaded and powerful.
O: Very yummy, though not completely my style of beer. Lots of flavors and an absolutely wonderful aroma (I think I'd rather smell it than drink it). The coffee flavor is welcome but a little overpowering. Wish it had more sweetness to it to fight the hops. Still, at least it's got character.

Poured put nearly pitch-black. Hard to see any light getting through it. Massive foamy tan head forms almost immediately. Almost like a root beer float. Leaves big sticky lacing. The aroma is reminiscent of schwarzbier with just a slight extra hint of pine. The taste is equally similar with a nice earthy quality. There is a decent weight to the body and a nice crisp finish. A nice dark, lightly hopped ale.

T: Cappuccino, chocolate milk, orange, citrus, pine, dark roasted malts, stout like.
M: Medium thick smooth body, medium fine bubbled carbonation.
O: Duck rabbit does it again! A great brew, smooth and up to par with others in this style.

Despite strong support from IT pros, SharePoint faces increased skepticism from business leaders and it's unclear whether the collaboration product will deliver cloud, social, and mobile advancements needed for future growth.
Those are some of the findings from a new Forrester Research study published on Tuesday titled "SharePoint Enters Its Awkward Teenage Years."
[ Discover what's new in business applications with InfoWorld's Technology: Applications newsletter and our Technology: Microsoft newsletter. ]
"Microsoft SharePoint is the centerpiece of many enterprises' collaboration and content strategies, but it isn't clear to us that enterprises will continue to invest in SharePoint to provide a broader range of social, web content, and content delivery functionality," wrote report authors Rob Koplowitz and John Rymer. The study was based on a survey conducted in August 2012 of 153 IT decision-makers involved with SharePoint implementations.
SharePoint has reached mature status as a content management and enterprise collaboration tool, used primarily by companies to corral documents dispersed among file servers, email inboxes and other content management systems, according to Forrester.
As such, its 2007 and 2010 versions are used by organizations of all sizes and in all industries to create and manage intranets, offer collaboration capabilities, and manage content, but there is less satisfaction with and usage of it for other scenarios, such as a custom application platform and as a business intelligence tool for data analysis.
The gap in satisfaction between IT pros and business managers -- SharePoint met the expectations of 73 percent of the former, and of 62 percent of the latter -- is of concern, according to the authors.
"While 'if you build it, they will come' might work in the movies, the approach has yielded neither wide adoption of SharePoint nor satisfaction with the product. Too often, IT provides the latest and greatest SharePoint release only to watch many users turn their backs on the solution," the report reads.
Dissatisfaction is centered on several areas, including adoption challenges, a dislike for the SharePoint user experience, a preference for other tools like email and skepticism over its business value.
Also of concern is that takeup of SharePoint Online, the cloud-hosted version of the product, is very low -- 4 percent of respondents reported using it exclusively, a rate expected to rise to 8 percent after the new SharePoint 2013 comes out at some point this quarter. However, 26 percent of respondents plan to have a hybrid on-premises/cloud deployment, according to the study.
There is also dissatisfaction with the enterprise social networking capabilities in SharePoint, but Forrester predicts that this component of the product will be much better in the 2013 version and beyond as the product gets more integrated with Yammer.
Microsoft also must improve its efforts to deliver SharePoint functionality via mobile applications to smartphone and tablet users of various platforms, the authors wrote.
Koplowitz and Rymer had words of praise for SharePoint 2013, pointing out that an impressive 68 percent of respondents said they plan to upgrade to that new version within two years after its release. Eighty-one percent of respondents are currently on SharePoint 2010, and the rest on 2007 and earlier versions.

Astute Juve easily handle Chievo
Picking up where they left off, Juventus were in excellent form for their first game of the season against a weak Chievo Verona side that barely provided the champions with a challenge. The only question on everyone's lips is how did Juve only manage a 1-0 scoreline?
- Report: Allgeri wins Juve opener vs. Chievo
Considering the absences and the fact that the squad and coach are recovering from the flu, Massimiliano Allegro thought it best to stick with the tried and tested 3-5-1-1 formation ...

Fayetteville, AR (Sports Network) - Mark Ingram ran for 157 yards and two touchdowns, including the game-winner with 3:18 left, as top-ranked Alabama rallied from a 13-point third-quarter deficit to stun 10th-ranked Arkansas, 24-20, at Razorback Stadium.
The reigning Heisman Trophy winner Ingram teamed up with Trent Richardson, who gained 85 yards on eight carries, to help defending champion Alabama (4-0, 1-0 SEC) remain unbeaten in its last 28 regular season games after scoring 17 unanswered points. Greg McElroy also stayed undefeated in his collegiate career after throwing for 194 yards and a touchdown on 18-of-26 passing. McElroy, who is 18-0 as a starter, was also picked off twice.
Richardson also added a receiving touchdown, while Julio Jones had five catches for 55 yards. The Crimson Tide, who have beaten the Razorbacks four straight times, won their eighth straight game against AP Top 25 opponents.
Ryan Mallett threw for 357 yards and a touchdown on 25-of-38 passing, but was intercepted three times for Arkansas (3-1, 1-1), which fell to 4-12 all-time against the top-ranked team in the nation. Jarius Wright was Mallett's main target, catching six passes for 131 yards, while Ronnie Wingo hauled in a touchdown pass.

A woman and her boyfriend were charged Tuesday in connection with the alleged abuse of a 3-year-old child.
Marketa A. Williams, 25, faces a felony count of abuse or neglect of a child, while Amber J. Zank-Balazs, 29, faces a felony count of first-degree endangering the welfare of a child and a misdemeanor count of second-degree endangering the welfare of a child.
A police report said officers were called to a home on East 42nd Street, just east of Pittman Road on Monday just before 5 p.m.
Zank-Balazs told police she noticed the bruises on the little boy's back, face and ear Monday afternoon when she took her child to use the restroom, but hadn't noticed them before. She took pictures of the bruises and texted them to a friend, who called police.
When the friend spoke to police, she said she had seen Williams hit the child with a back scratcher on several occasions.
The police report said the reporting party told them she thought the boyfriend "was responsible for the victim's injuries because of his violent tendencies towards the victim."
Williams had been staying at the home during that time.
Police said Zank-Balazs never called them and appeared upset that her friend notified police.
Authorities couldn't find a place for the little boy to spend the night, so he stayed at the hospital.

Walker County Sheriff John Mark Tirey said deputies from his office had worked accidents throughout the day.
"I'm not sure exactly how many wrecks we've been to, but I would guess it was around 20 at this point," he said Thursday afternoon. "The roads are pretty slick out there. We need people to be as careful as they can when roads are like that."
Tirey said that despite the number of accidents there had been no serious injuries reported.
"It's mostly just been people sliding off the road," he said.
Jasper Police Chief Connie Cooner Rowe, who was directing traffic at Walker High School, said there had been more than 30 vehicle accidents in Jasper as of early Thursday afternoon.
Officials with the Walker County Emergency Management Agency said travel issues were reported in almost every part of the county.
In east Walker County, all roads were closed for a short time, but they were reopened around 3 p.m. Tuesday.
The snowfall led to the closing of several area businesses as well as the Walker County Courthouse where members of the Walker County Commission had to cut short a scheduled work session.
"It was probably a good thing that we were all together, because our meeting room turned into more of an emergency operations center," Commission Chairman Billy Luster said.
"Road conditions became pretty treacherous fairly quickly so we started communicating with the different districts from the courthouse," he added.
Luster said the work session will be rescheduled for a later date.
Schools across the county were also affected by the winter weather. Walker County Schools delayed the start of classes until 10 a.m. Thursday, but the heavy snowfall forced school board officials to close schools by noon.
"We were relying on what the television folks were telling us, and they kind of missed it this time," said Superintendent Jason Adkins, who was in Montgomery for training Thursday.
Adkins said Walker County Schools would delay the start of classes again today until 10 a.m.
"Depending on what happens with road conditions, we may cancel school altogether for Friday," he said. "We will stay in contact with our parents to let them know something as soon as we possibly can."
Jasper City Schools Superintendent Robert Sparkman said classes were not dismissed in the city Thursday, but parents were allowed to pick up their children early. There were only a few students remaining at each of the city's schools by 2 p.m. Thursday.
"We told parents to take their time and not be in a hurry to pick the students up," he said. "We had them at school in a safe place. We were feeding them and keeping them warm."
Sparkman said buses ran at 9 a.m. and classes started at 10 a.m. Thursday.
"By the time it was evident that we were going to have a large amount of snowfall, our buses were already mostly finished with their routes," Sparkman said. "The safest thing to do was to bring those children to their schools. We didn't want to send them right back out after they got here, so that's why we allowed parents to come one at a time and pick up their children. We did not run our buses this afternoon."
Jasper City Schools have also decided to start their bus routes at 9 a.m. today and classes are set to begin at 10 a.m.
While snow had stopped falling in Walker County by Thursday afternoon, most areas of the county had reported having as much as three inches of snow accumulation.
Temperatures rose to the low 40s by 4 p.m., but they were expected to drop below freezing through the early morning hours of today.
"We are going to have to keep our eye on things," Luster said. "We're asking people to please not be on the roads unless you have to be. We don't know what the freezing temperatures might do overnight."

Compass Program expands experiential learning opportunities
Beginning Fall Semester 2013, students at the Demorest and Athens campuses will take part in a new program called "Compass," designed to provide recognition for a wide variety of learning experiences outside the classroom.
The six points of the Compass include
• Creativity and Innovation
• Social Ethics
• Leadership
• Cultural Awareness
• Vocation
• Service-Learning
Within these parameters, Compass experiences can include an assortment of projects, including science experiments, athletic pursuits, internships, travel, volunteerism, entrepreneurial activity, and artistic expression.
While many students are already involved projects like these, the Compass program formalizes the process so that work outside the classroom garners recognition. Students' achievements through the Compass program will be included in their official college transcripts, making it easier for future graduate programs or employers to judge the value of their co-curricular efforts.
The Compass Program Office is Daniel 320, x1295. Kirsti Matson, graduate assistant, will maintain office hours on Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1:00-5:00.

Embarkation Our Miracle cruise was an 8 day and 7 nights Eastern Caribbean leaving our NYC. We arrive at 1:30pm at Pier 90 in NYC. A porter with identification, took our luggage. We began to line up as soon as we arrived. It took us maybe 1 1/2 hours before we came up at our designated cabin.
Cabin After getting on the ship, we went to our cabin at around 3pm. The cabin was well done , very neat and well organized. It was an Oceanview cabin on deck 1 (Riviera) toward aft - the front. The cabin has a lot of closets and drawers that could store our luggage. The sheets,linens, towels were all clean and pressed. There was a couch. Also, there was an overhead bunk for kids in the ceiling. This we did not use. Our cabin steward Gloria was from the Philippines. She was very nice and helpful. She made our cabin like we were home. We asked that the fridge be opened. There is a bar inside - that you pay for drinks. There is a hair drier that is in the top right drawer. Thus, don't bring a dryer. Our room was better than we were expecting. It was extremely well prepared. The toilet has a standalone stall shower. There is no tub. But you get used to it, but everything went well every day.
Ship I love the glass elevator. It is so pretty and shiny. At first, the ship layout is confusing. But after a while, you get to know every part of it. On the first floor is the purser and a bar. At the purser you can get some sea sickness pills. It is where you book excursions ashore. The head purser was Aprielle, from the Philippines. She was quite accommodating lady. The formal dining room is the Bacchus located on the second and third deck. The layout is pretty nice. It reminds me of Tuscany in Italy. You must decide whether you want early 6pm or late 8pm dinner. We chose late. For dinner you have a assigned table and designated servers for your entire stay. We were on deck 3. We shared a table with a wonderful couple from the Bronx J & R. Our servers were Veronica, from Lima Peru, and Ivany from Honduras. They were great people.
Activities We enjoyed most of the activities. The showtime start at 10pm. My husband and I loved the MoTown. He was so good and funny. We also enjoyed the tribute to Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis jr. It was truly enjoyable. The Beatles were fantastic singers. We would like to give the credit to Brent Mitchell, the cruise director. He was such a funny and very smart guy. Never a dull moment watching and listening to him. The most enjoyable part that we had was the Art Auction. My husband and I love Art. We were able to learn some of the artists. We attended most of the auctions which is always in the Phantom lounge. We bought some prints. Thanks to Ram Glick the auctioneer.
Excursion Our first port of call was San Juan, Puerto Rico. We arrived 3pm. We went to the old fort. San Juan is a nice and quiet place. We went shopping for shirts and souvenirs. Our second port was St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands. We enjoyed the island. We went to Coki beach which is beautiful and clean. We went snorkeling. We rented snorkel, chairs and umbrella. We shopped at the stores in front of the pier. These shops are high end jewelry. But there are a lot of stores that you can shop too. The ship left around 4pm. Don't miss it or you will be in St. Thomas for a week. Our final port was Tortola, British Virgin Islands. Here we did not book an excursion via Carnival. Their prices were too high, around 80-90 per person. We went ashore and got a tour bus for $20 per person. The Tour was great. We went all over the Island. But the roads are steep and dangerous. There are no seat belts.
Conclusions We would rate this vacation almost perfect. The ship was very much maintained with so much cleanliness and attention. The staff and crew were friendly and always smiling and ready to greet us. The food was better that we had expected. The activities were great and enjoyed every bit of it. The rooms were well kept and well organized. We would like to give credit to the man who made all of this: Captain Antonio Machetti, BRAVO!!

From The Spartanburg Herald-Journal:
By LEE G. HEALY
Published: Thursday, August 4, 2011 at 3:15 a.m.
About 200 Byrnes High School students might not have biology textbooks when they return to school in less than two weeks.
Spartanburg District 5 officials say they'll dip into their own pockets to get students books for what they say will be a required course after learning the books will not be provided by the S.C. Department of Education, but they might not be there in time for the first day. State officials said the course is not required, so the requested biology textbooks will not be issued.
District 5 asked for about 200 biology books to accommodate an increase in the number of students signed up for freshman- and sophomore-level courses. Superintendent Scott Turner said many freshmen will take applied biology 1 in the coming year — the first in a two-course study of biology elements to be tested on a federally mandated end-of-course exam during their second year of high school. Students on a faster track can elect to take just one biology course before taking the end-of-course exam, Turner explained, but offering the subject in two parts helps more students succeed.
"Our district's very forward thinking," said Pat Monteith, principal of the Byrnes Freshman Academy. "Everything we do is to help our kids be successful. This was quite a blow for us. We're trying to do something proactive for our students and our hands are tied." Continue reading

"Wow....I shopped around for thermal shades and purposely bought these from country curtains assuming I would get a nicer quality that those I saw on other curtain and blind websites. I was very disappointed to open the box and see MADE IN CHINA glaring at me. Due to the size of the blinds and the anticipated cost to return them I will keep them. They seem decently made but the trim fabric is quite cheap and polyester looking. Hopefully they will hold up."

Let me tell you, this thing is huge, 3 times as large as a regular extended balcony. There are 3 reserved as accessible cabins [6234, 7260, 8234], and 3 regular [6232, 7258, 8232] that have this balcony at a regular 'extended balcony' price. There are other accessible cabins that have double extended balconies as well [6281, 7303, 8239]. Other accessible rooms on the ship, which I believe are held reserved, so you need to call them to arrange it: 4202, 4203, 4205, 4207, 5238, 5245. As is typical, we got a call last minute seeing if we wanted to upgrade to the Ocean Suite, 6182, which apparently is also an accessible room, but does not show up on the ADA Spirit Class map as one [google search it if you have accessibility needs]. That makes me wonder if other rooms are wheelchair/scooter accessible and not listed as such.
Anyway, ours was 8234, just below the Lido Deck with the Cafe and adult only Serenity area. **I am the able bodied partner writing this** It was great being able to run up the stairs or elevator right by the room to get food or drink or just relax in the adult only area, where we spent most our time on board. Our two 'thrifty' friends got an interior room adjacent to us to make spending time together easy. We also had FRS radios which worked over the entire ship.
Accessible room- this room was a little bigger then its class suggests so it can accommodate a larger cabin door, bathroom door, balcony door, and scooter/wheelchair. I think we lost out on a larger sitting area, but over all had plenty of room. The bathroom was very large, though often wet. See, there is no lip to the shower area to accommodate a wheelchair bound person, just a large roll over drain by the door, so the entire floor gets wet with every shower. I am the kind of person who usually uses the same towel for the whole week, but instead used it to dry up the floor after each shower. The housekeeping always removed the used ones and provided new ones, so it was never an issue. There is a 4-5" lip to the balcony for those who can't get out of their mobility aid. However, once out there, there is plenty of room to maneuver. It came with 2 chairs, a side table, and 2 lounge chairs. Our friends were often over hanging out while my partner finished getting ready for meals [the only girl in our party]. We could have entertained 20 standing people out there. Its also rather private since the Lido deck over hangs by 6 feet above. My only gripe is that the room layout puts the balcony glass door as far away from the bed as possible. No romantic sunrises. Although its triple long, you only get the standard door and small window, which is off at an angle. Meaning the only place to get a view was on the balcony it's self. Most of the exterior wall was covered with the TV, vanity, etc. But you can't complain too much, its larger inside, larger bathroom, and triple balcony for the price of just an extended balcony. It was also pretty quiet, below the dinning area of Lido desk, so a couple tables being scrapped across the floor, but never late at night. No noise from the service area adjacent to the room either.
Military rate: I never would have known there was a military rate if I hadn't called for the accessible room in the first place. So, if you are current or former military, call them for the best rate. It should be lower than anything else you can find.
Even on this cold weather cruise, the $100 more for a balcony [even a regular sized one] was well worth it to us. We didn't spend a lot of time in the room, but we felt we had that option with a balcony.
Food: Amazing! What can I say, the value in the food alone was worth the time and money. I was surprised that the quantities of food in the restaurant were about half of what you typically get in a restaurant, but it made sense after a while. You don't want left overs, and you can order as many as you want. Steak and Lobster tail night our entire party particularly indulged. I think I ordered 3 main dishes myself. Its easy to over eat on the cruise, I did the best of my party, limiting my self to one dish per course all but 4-5 times. One friend ordered 2-3 appetizers and main dishes each night, plus a medium meal between each regular meal- he was in heaven- figuratively of course.
Spending Money: is very easy on this [and probably all] cruises. They never miss an opportunity to charge you for an extra service. The spa, casino, photographs, and excursions are all examples of how you can double the cost of the trip. However, if you are just a little mindful, even creating a budget, you can leave fully satisfied of your experience and keeping the extra costs under $150 [tips, drinks, excursions, etc.]. It gets a little annoying at times, them always hocking extra services or 'deals.' But I took on the mindset that this is how Carnival makes their money, which lowers the ticket prices for people like me.
Entertainment: The comedians were OK, my conservative friends didn't like them much, but I thought they were worth the time. The Vegas style shows were mildly entertaining. Great performers, but little content beyond singing and dancing. I think I have high standards for live entertainment. For the most part we like to relax and slow down, so there were plenty of places and times to do that. The lack of lots of entertainment options was not a problem for us. My two friends were single though, and on the prowl the entire time. Not many singles on this cruise, though the boat had a singles event almost every night. The night-club was fun for me, but intimidating for my two guys who have never been to a real one before. And what ever you do, DO NOT TAKE YOUR DRINK ON THE DANCE FLOOR. This is no uncommon in real clubs, but its a no no here. They will stop the music until the perpetrators get off the floor- real mood killer. This was one of the areas most inaccessible on the boat for those with mobility limitations. Parking the scooter in the dinning room was also a hassle, but no one complained. In room entertainment on old CRT monitors was a joke. They even try to put text information on screen which you can't read because the resolution is too small. That is the first thing I would upgrade on this ship.
Ports of call:
Port Canaveral: beach is close by, make sure you get a van taxi, or group rate, by your self its $20. Make sure you have photo ID before you leave. Our friend forgot his, despite the 10 warnings they give you on your way out the door. He had his Sign & Sail card with his, which they used to confirm his ID, but took 20 minutes longer to get back on board. We didn't do any of the other excursions.
Nassau, Bahamas: I travel internationally at least once a year. If you like the tourist experience, then no worries. Otherwise check out the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism for their People to People program. It pairs you up with real people from the island to have a real experience beyond jewelry and trinket shopping. You have to do it several weeks in advance though, I found out too late to take advantage of it, and you know the cruise line will not tell you about it if they can't make money off of it.
Freeport, Bahamas: we were only there a short time, so we took a snorkeling excursion. It was good. Over cast most of the day [c'mon, its the freaking Caribbean, I didn't think it ever got over-cast...]. Even with the over-cast skies there was plenty to see in the reefs. Not as many pretty colors, but a wide variety of fish and plant life. Keep in mind, this is a strenuous experience. Most folks were back on the boat with in a half hour, I stayed in the water for the full hour and am still sore from over exerting myself. Bring a water proof camera, you will be glad you did.
Debarkation and Embarkation are stressful. My partner's physical disability gets exacerbated by her anxiety disorder. While the staff were almost always pleasant and wanting to make the experience better, getting on and off the boat were another matter. I think the staff take on all the anxiety of the passengers, which makes the experiences very difficult for a person with an anxiety disorder. All I can suggest is to be patient, and either be first, or last. That goes for the larger on-board entertainment too. A scooter needs extra space on an elevator, and with lots of people getting out at the same time, you will never find room unless you are pushy and demand it from the other passengers. Anxiety disorders usually don't go with pushy, so we would always go to a different bank of elevators after an event. This worked out fine too since our room was at the back of the boat, and all the large entertainment is at the front.
Artwork: I enjoyed it at the start, and then really appreciated it as the week went on. Its a little over the top, but when you slow down, read captions, etc, you can be entertained in unpacking its many meanings. Yes, many of the paintings are renaissance era, where bare breasted women were prominent. So, get comfortable with it.
Time of year: December is great for a vacation, but I never got HOT, except in the hot tub. Even the Bahamian beaches and waters were mild, but not what I think of when I think 'Beach.' I think October or November will be better when I do this again.

What our Citizens are saying about this great gift of the leaf...
|Oh Yeah!!
|May 12, 2014
|I have been drinking this tea for a couple of years now. I decided that I just needed to order it in bulk. It is my morning wake-up necessity. The flavor is smooth, yet invigorating. Fruity, but not overwhelmingly so. It is definitely uplifting. I have made iced tea and sun tea as well. It is perfectly drinkable morning, noon and night. Get some and GET HAPPY!!
|ahh happy
|April 17, 2014
|I love this tea and rely on it when I'm feeling a bit down. It really does make you feel better. Sometimes I even drink it when I go out because I will have a better attitude and more fun. And it taste good too. : ))))
|Yummy and helps a lot
|February 27, 2013
|You can definitely taste a hint of peach in this tea. I wouldn't have known if it was red tea, had I not read the label (after I bought it I realized it!). I don't usually like red tea, but this is downright good! I live in a rainy, humid and cool climate so often times I'm under the weather. I'm not depressed, just get a little blah some days and this is a great, natural pick me up. I really suggest this if you are a depressed person or just feeling blue!! After drinking this for two months (a couple cups a week) it has helped me so much. Thank you. :)
|like a sunbeam in a cup
|December 24, 2012
|I am really enjoying this tea- bought some for myself and to give as gifts. Luscious and uplifting. I do think that it is worth noting, again ( as another reviewer has) that St. JOhn's Wort can interact w/ oral contraceptives in such a way as to render them useless.. pretty important information for those who are relying on them for family planning.
|Love it!
|November 07, 2012
|Love the smell when I open the container. I started w/ the travel size to try it & I plan on ordering the 50 bag size. The taste is refreshing. I make a cup @ work during lunch to give me a pick me up for the rest of the day.

CENTRAL ILLINOIS -- Illinois State Police are reminding you to stay safe behind the wheel this Labor day weekend.
State troopers are out in full force patrolling the roadways.
They will be looking for impaired drivers, seat belt violations, speeding, and distracted driving.
Several roadside safety checks will also be set up around the area.
Police hope the safety precautions help cut down on the already high fatality count this year.
"This year we have 26 fatals already," said State Trooper Dustin Pierce. "Nine of those fatalities have come from motorcycles. During the entire year last year we only had 7 people killed on motorcycles. So that too will be a part of our focus for the Labor Day weekend."
State Troopers also want to remind you to pay attention to the posted signs in construction zones, even while work has stopped during the holiday.

@FGCU_WSoccer Falls in #ASunWSoc Championship After Penalty Kicks
|Sierra, Sarah
|BROWN, Brittany
|Stats at a Glance
|Shots (on Goal)
|7 (5)
|31 (10)
|Corner Kicks
FORT MYERS, Fla. – The FGCU women's soccer team (13-3-4, 7-0-2 Atlantic Sun) out-shot Jacksonville University (12-7-1, 6-3 A-Sun) 31-7 in Sunday afternoon's A-Sun Championship Game but were unable to find the back of the net and ultimately fell 5-3 in penalty kicks after double-overtime failed to produce a winner.
The title of A-Sun Tournament MVP would go to Jacksonville goalkeeper Sarah Sierra who stood on her head for the Dolphins in this one, making 10 saves and coming out the net to clear away potentially dangerous crosses on numerous occasions. The game came down to penalty kicks after 110 minutes of action where one miss would doom the Eagles as Jacksonville was able to go 5-5 with their tries to deny FGCU a third-consecutive A-Sun championship.
"Obviously I'm very proud of our team, the season we had and our performance today," head coach Jim Blankenship added. "We had so many opportunities to go ahead and you don't want to get to that moment where it winds up going to PK's but our kids had a good attitude about it and they pushed forward. You have to tip your hats to them, their goalkeeping was unbelievable today. She really was outstanding and the Defensive Player of the Year (Ally Lee) lived up to that billing … We're disappointed but that's sports, if you do it long enough you wind up on both ends and it's not fun, but you have to use it motivate and drive yourself. There's nothing good about losing and you have to be sure to respect that moment. We went after the game and credit to them they withstood all of the pressure and made big play after big play."
In the first half, both teams traded efforts in the midfield before Jacksonville generated the first catch-your-breath moment of the game. Grove beat FGCU defender Emma Blackwell (Jenks, Okla./Jenks HS) in the midfield and played the ball past the defense leaving Kaitlyn Bassett all alone with Brittany Brown (Rochester, N.Y./Greece-Athena HS). The A-Sun Goalkeeper of the Year came off her line to challenge the play and with a diving effort took the ball right off Bassett's foot without a shot.
From that point on, FGCU put constant pressure on the JU defense. The story of the first half can really be told by the players for FGCU that came off the bench. Sarah Lowicki (Ontario, Canada/Notre Dame Catholic Secondary School) checked in and immediately registered a shot off a corner kick. The Canadian later took a ball down the middle of the field and moving to her right at the top of the box let fly a laser that sailed just past the post on the near side.
For the sixth-consecutive game, Shannen Wacker (Parker, Colo./Ponderosa HS) came off the bench and provided a spark up top. While she failed to register a shot, she did have a one-on-one opportunity with Sierra after a Dolphin player misplayed a ball. Sierra would collide would Wacker before an attempt on net could be made.
The Eagles would outshoot JU 11-1 in the first half but without many tailor-made scoring chances. The corner kicks totaled 4-0 in FGCU's favor.
In the 53rd minute, FGCU had the best chance to score that it would generate all day. Tabby Tindell (Ocala, Fla./Trinity Catholic HS) drove in on net and let loose a rocket that would be turned away by Sierra, the rebound however, put Sierra out of position as the ball landed on the foot of Kaitlin Parker (Palm Harbor, Fla./Clearwater Central Catholic HS) who had a clear look at the back of the net but sent the shot soaring high above the cross bar.
From there FGCU would put the JU defense through the gauntlet and to the Dolphins' credit they withstood it. The Eagles would attempt seven-consecutive shots between Jacksonville tries. Parker, Tindell and Paulina Speckmaier (Miami, Fla./Gulliver Prep/Miami University) let loose tries to no avail. Even the lone active senior, Kayley Clay (Cape Coral, Fla./Bishop Verot HS/Lynn University), got in on the action with a shot of her own.
With the clocking ticking down under two minutes to play regulation, FGCU ramped up the pressure once again. Tindell would have another shot turned aside by Sierra and with seconds remaining, a cross into the box resulted in what appeared to be a near scoring chance but Speckmaier would be called for making contact with the ball with her hand, sending this one to overtime.
In the first overtime, FGCU would try three shots in the final two minutes all to no avail. Switching sides for the second overtime, FGCU's best chance wouldn't even go down as a shot. Tindell found herself past the defense and one-on-one with Sierra. Without making a move on net, Tindell lost control as Sierra came out and took the ball of her feet less than six-yards in front of the goal. FGCU would finish regulation with its fourth tie and a season-high 31 shots.
In the penalty kick rounds, Melissa Arnold (Sicklerville, N.J./Timber Creek Regional HS), Tindell and Speckmaier scored their tries, matching the Dolphins attempt-for-attempt. Brooke Sill (Lake Zurich, Ill./Eastern Illinois University), who had not appeared in the match, would get the nod for the fourth FGCU attempt and her shot would sail wide-right. Adriana Rodrigues came to the line for JU and buried her shot to propel the Dolphins to champion status.
"Now it's about building back up," Blankenship continued. "These kids are devastated, especially the kids that are seniors that have been here four years and never tasted defeat. It's about building back up, understanding the moment and the drive to not allow this to happen again. This is why it's very difficult to three-peat. There are a lot of little variables that don't always go your way."
By not allowing a goal on Sunday afternoon, the Eagles extend their streak without allowing a score in the A-Sun Tournament to 448:12 minutes. They also extend their home unbeaten streak against conference opponents to 27 games, dating back to the 2009 season.
The result does not change the historic status this team achieved in the all-time record books. The numbers would suggest that this was the greatest season offensively in FGCU women's soccer history. The Eagles set program single-season records in points (130), goals (43), shots (384), shots per game (19.20), shots on goal (180) and shots on goal per game (9.00).
Tabby Tindell put together one of, if not the greatest individual seasons in program history in just her first year suiting up for the Green and Blue. The Ocala, Fla. native established single-season program records in points (34), goals (15), goals per game (0.75), shots (71), shots per game (3.55), shots on goal (44) and shots on goal per game (2.20).
Shannen Wacker closes her junior campaign just three goals shy of the program record of 24. She is obviously well ahead of the pace to break that record as she has averaged seven goals per season over the course of her career.
Brittany Brown closes 2013 with her ninth shutout of the season and fourth-straight. Her nine clean sheets this season rank second all-time.
FGCU will return 93.8 percent of its scoring for the 2014 campaign. Only Clay (7 points) and Casey Towne (Royal Palm Beach, Fla./Lander Univ.) (1 point) will depart from the program.
The FGCU women's soccer program would like to thank all of the students, fans, donors, members of the media, event staff and athletics department staff that helped to make the 2013 season a tremendous success and look forward to having your support again in 2014.

Borger, Texas - Every year patients get hurt or even die because of medication errors.
The medicine administration machine, also known as the ATM of medicine is one of many new technologies at Borger's Golden Plains Community Hospital.
The CEO tells us about a part of the "ATM" called the 5 patient's rights.
A bar code is placed on the patient's wrist band as well as on the medication.
This makes sure the medication is given at the right time, the right dose, the right strength, the right route, and the right patient.
Dennis Jack says, "if you're a nurse, you come up and type in your name and your password. Then you pull up the patient name, Bill Smith, and Bill only gets 2 drugs today, you can't give him the wrong ones. You type in his name and you access those 2 drugs and a door slides open. And in that drawer only a little tiny drawer with his meds that are available for you to get."
He tells us the new medicine dispenser is one of several new additions, along with new staff.

Plaistow mother, boyfriend face witness-tampering charges in abuse case
Jessica Linscott, 23, now faces the prospect of state prison time after first being charged with six misdemeanor counts of endangering the welfare of a child. Her boyfriend, Roland Dow, 27, is headed to trial next month on charges of first- and second-degree assault for allegedly striking 3-year-old James Nicholson in the head and burning the boy's wrists and fingers.
The couple's latest troubles came to light during a bail hearing for Linscott Wednesday morning. Linscott and Dow remained on the run for two weeks beginning in late November until they were apprehended by U.S. Marshals at Universal Studios in Orlando, Fla.
Judge Marguerite Wageling denied a request by Linscott on Wednesday to have phone and in-person contact with her son.
Wageling decided that Linscott will be able to write letters to her son, but they first must be sent to county prosecutors before being passed on to the boy's therapist. Prosecutors say they obtained a computer video file that recorded Dow and Linscott talking to the boy on Oct. 23 just prior to a well-being check by a worker from the Department of Children, Youth and Families.
"Roland Dow and Jessica Linscott are speaking at different times," said Michael J. Zaino, assistant Rockingham County attorney. "The conversation ranges over lots of topics, but (includes) very specifically what he is allowed to say, what he is not allowed to say. He is not allowed to say he knew she was coming. It ranges from whether he gets bloody noses, whether he gets spanked, this takes up a span of 20 minutes."
Part of Wednesday's hearing was determined to be non-public by Wageling. Instead of holding the hearing in chambers, she called lawyers, Linscott and a witness to the bench. Wageling spent several minutes talking to the witness called by the defense, and then had lawyers make their arguments in open court. State law allows for matters concerning the Division of Children, Youth and Families to be shielded from the public.
Linscott and Dow are expected to each face two counts of witness tampering for the computer video recovered by investigators. Zaino said the file was recovered while executing a search warrant for a computer.

PORT OF SPAIN, TRINIDAD - The 2013 Champions League will be the Trinidad and Tobago's fourth appearance in the lucrative competition as well as the last.
KINGSTON, JAMAICA - Jamaica cricket coach Junior Bennett believes that his squad could have won the Caribbean T20 competition in St Lucia based on all the work that had been done to get the team ready for the competition this year.
GROS ISLET, St Lucia – Captain Denesh Ramdin has attributed team work as the main reason behind Trinidad and Tobago's historic milestone after they blew away Guyana to win the Caribbean T20 title for a third consecutive year.
GROS ISLET, St Lucia, CMC – Mighty Trinidad and Tobago reduced the Caribbean Twenty20 final to a no-contest as they crushed out-of-sorts Guyana in a authoritative performance to march to their third consecutive title on Sunday night.
GROS ISLET, St Lucia, CMC – Trinidad and Tobago won the toss and sent Guyana in to bat in the final of the Caribbean Twenty20 at the Beausejour Cricket Stadium on Sunday night.
T&T have made one change to their squad from their last preliminary round game, bringing in Jason Mohammed for Yannick Ottley while Guyana are unchanged from their six-wicket win over Jamaica in Saturday's playoff final.

Ashridge Estate
This section of the page features an image gallery, so if you're using a screen reader you may wish to jump to the main content.
Ancient woodland and rolling downland
Ashridge Estate is a 2,000 hectare (5,000 acres) area of the Chilterns Hills. The estate has beech and oak woodlands, commons and chalk downlands. These very different landscapes each support a rich variety of wildlife, including carpets of bluebells in spring, rare butterflies in summer and the fallow deer rut in autumn.
The best way to explore the Ashridge Estate is on foot or by bike. Miles of footpaths and bridleways give you plenty of space to explore, and if you drop into the visitor centre we'll be happy to share our favourite routes with you. We also have mobility scooters if you don't want to explore under your own steam.
A working estate
We took on the Ashridge Estate in 1926 and we manage the landscape as a working estate, continuing 3000 years of tradition. We use livestock to help look after the diverse habitats on the downlands and our foresters fell timber to ensure the health of the woodland. Keep an eye out for both two and four legged conservation team members during your visit, our human ones will be happy to answer questions on our work.
50 Things to do Before You're 11 3/4
Ashridge is a great place to have a go at one of the 50 Things to do Before You're 11 3/4. This summer you can:
- Pick up a tracker pack from the visitor centre and have your very own adventure.
- Drop in for one of our guided 50 Things sessions, every Wednesday in August at 11am and 2pm
- Or grab a scrapbook and just get stuck in.
Wild about Ashridge Club
Fri 25 July – Fri 29 Aug, 10.30am – 3pm

The Wildwood Den
Our Wildwood Den is made from ancient trees that lived at Ashridge and is a great place to explore or let off steam this summer. The den is covered in carvings which tell the history of the estate; can you find them all? You could also have a go at building your own den in the woods nearby.

The 7 day cruise included the ports San Francisco, Astoria Oregon, Nainamo BC, Victoria BC and Vancouver.
We thought the embarkation at LA went smoothly with only a short wait however the Americans must expect a quicker process as they seemed disappointed and a bit upset that they had to wait a couple of hours. We later heard from the Captain that the authorities would not let the passengers onboard from the Panama Cruise leave. The only other cruise we had been on was Dawn Princess in May 2009 at the height of the Swine Flu and we didn't board until midnight, so this time seemed a breeze.
As the prices are absolutely fantastic, we had a balcony stateroom 9080 which was midship. The room was lovely, very clean and modern. The bathroom was also modern with sliding screens dividing the toilet, vanity and shower. No shower curtains was a smart idea. Another good idea was the coffee maker in the cabin. As serious tea drinkers who had brought their own teabags from Australia we had boiling water whenever we needed. All we had to do was call Room Service and they would send up a couple of cartons of skim milk. A tip to have more space on the clothes line in the shower, use bobby pins as pegs.
Our stateroom attendants were very approachable, quick and always around when needed.
We ate in the dining room for breakfast, lunch and dinner almost everyday. Freestyle dining was wonderful. It was very easy to get a table for two and if the dining room was full, they would give us a a pager and we would be called within 20 minutes. Even though we didn't have the same dining staff every night, we got to know most of the dining staff by name and viceversa. The menu was delicious and came very quick. Amazingly quick. The only thing we didn't like was the photographer that came around every night, even when you had a mouth full of food. A quick "no thanks" was all that was needed.
We didn't attend the evening entertainment, so I can't comment on that. We would sometimes have a snack in the Blue Lagoon cafe which was opened 24 hours and listen to the comedian/music/lectures in the atrium and they all seemed good.
The Pearl was very modern and clean with no signs of obvious wear. We found the staff to be friendly and helpful all the time. They have a laundry special halfway through the cruise. $20.00 for a large bag. They lost one of my items worth 40.00 but then didn't charge us for the laundry and took 20.00 off our account, so we came our even. Being a bra they knew I would have to replace it.
I don't know if the cold coastal weather deterred most people venturing onto the upper decks at night or if they all ate later than us but we would often go up to the hot spas (x4) on the pool deck and sit in their for a couple of hours.
We didn't book any shore excursions through the ship. We loved exploring all of the ports ourselves and found it easy to get around.
I had read to expect rough seas going up the coast but we never felt any movement. We had prepared by taking Kwells every night but honestly it was so smooth. The Captain Lars Bengtsson was so funny, we loved his announcements that would come at anytime. He is a real character and had everyone laughing. You could tell he loved his job.
Disembarkation was a breeze. No waiting for your number to be called. Everything about Freestyle cruising seemed to work on this cruise.
We booked this cruise mainly to get from LA to Vancouver (then train to Seattle) so having such fantastic ports was definitely an added bonus. We loved every one of them, especially San Fransisco. This cruise definitely exceeded our expectations and we would highly recommend both the Cruise line/ship and itinerary to anyone looking for a reasonably price holiday in the US.
