I guess it was a mistake to drink this after a Fuller's ESB. Total mismatch. Fuller's remains one of the great subtle classics in the world. I like Avery (the Czar is one of my favorites), but this is a weak effort. Thin, watery, with little body or bitterness. Nothing positive to say about this beer. I'm sure if I had it by itself, it would be drinkable - but up against a Fuller's? Fuggedaboudit!!

Pours a shade of orange with thin but creamy head,aroma is big in the malt department fruity and some sweet dough.Taste is missing something has a decent fruitiness but lacks any complexity lightly sweet but no biscuity goodness and not much hop bitterness I like in the finish of ESB's.Not a awful beer just a little blah.

Appearance Light, hazy orange in color with some visible sediment and a good, lacing head.
Smell The big, hoppy nose is full of grapefruit and has some nice piney notes. The malt base is apparent as well, but its that pungent hoppy grapefruit aroma that makes this one a winner.
Taste The big orange peel showed up at the tongue, giving this an all around nice and balanced flavor. The malt backbone stepped it up a notch as well, making a lovely compliment to the hoppy characteristics of this ale. This one also sweetens up at the end with some light fruity and sugary notes. Well done.
Mouthfeel Not quite medium-bodied and, of course, bitter. This isnt the bitter reminiscent of coffee or endive or something like that. This is more of a rindy kind of flavor that youd get from chewing on the skin of an orange. Oh, I forgot to mention, this ale is dry, dry, dry.
Drinkability This was refreshing and a nice change of pace from the string of crappy Pale Lagers that Ive had lately. The bitterness is not overpowering and the ale is quite complex. Kudos to Avery!

I got this bottle in my Avery variety pack -- my least favorite beer in the case, by far. Served in a DFH shaped pint glass.
A - Appearence is that of deep gold and copper. An off-white head pours out on top, about one finger thick.
S - Smell is nothing special. I pick up some hops, but not too strong.
T - Taste is pretty well balanced. Starts off with some malts, but finishes off with strong hop bitterness. The hop finish is rather srtong. Usually I love that hop finish, but there's something about this one that just doesn't do it for my taster buds.
M - Mouthfeel is medium to light body.
D - Drinkability is medium to low. Not horrible but definitely not great! If I didn't have an entire 6-pack of this beer, I would not be drinking any more.

The 14'er ESB pours a copper-orange with a large, off-white head that has good retention and some lacing.
Its aroma is subdued grassy, piney hops with some hints of citrus.
The taste is sweet, caramel malt and some citrus initially. It follows with a bitter, acidic, hop finish and a strong bitter aftertaste. It was a little on the thin side.
Overall, a decent ESB. Kind of pedestrian and didn't do a lot for me. The aftertaste and balance didn't quite agree with me.

Pours a murky copper with a massive pillowy head that takes several minutes to subside. Aroma is typical ESB, slightly grassy, slightly hoppy. Taste is slightly disappointing. Strong bitterness with faint carmely malts and a definite citrus presence. Very American ESB. Medium body. This beer didn't work for me, slightly too bitter for my taste; not my cup of beer.

Presentation: 12 oz brown long neck, on the label states that this brew is a dedication to all of the 14,000+ mountains in CO. No freshness date.
Appearance: Copper hued with an effervescent carbonation that helps the head retention.
Smell: Good whiff of yeast, hop leaf, bread and grain in the nose.
Taste: Smooth and a little creamy in the mouth feel. Nice malt crispness yet there is an odd husky flavour that floats in the middle. Hop bitterness is ample and lingers into the finish as well as a bit of biscuity malt and a mild fruitiness.
Notes: A decent brew yet more of an American amber ale rather than an ESB ... bit out of balance though still quite drinkable.

12 oz bottle, no freshness date. Pours into a pint glass a clear golden amber with an off-white head of mostly larger bubbles. Good retention and attractive lacing. Citrus and pine hops dominate the nose, with caramel and butterscotch in the background. Mouthfeel is fizzy with carbonation, a bit light bodied, and immediate western hops bite. Taste is mostly well balanced with pears, butternut, and caramel. The western hops become more assertive toward the finish, and provide plenty of bitter balance. Good drinkability, but this leans toward a western IPA with all the assertive hops sending the sweet malts into the backgound.

12 ounce bottle, Honey straw in color, mild hops/malt nose. White head, leaving some lace. Love that tiny bubble film. Nicely balanced ale. Nutty malts dance together with soft flowery hops. True to the style this is a soft,very drinkable ESB. Fine session brew.

Presentation: 12oz amber bottle. No freshness dating.
Appearance: Poured an impressive orangish-copper with a fluffy white head. Impressive lacing of the glass with a nice white head.
Smell: Very hoppy. Clear indication of what this will taste like. Not as strong as some of the IPA's I've had, but still nice.
Taste: A very biting bitter flavor. A smidgen of malty sweetness pokes through at the end. Very nice.
Mouthfeel: Dry and crisp. Good mouthfeel. A definite puckering effect.
Drinkability: OK. Not a strong finish for me. A little on the bitter side.

Tap @ Pizza Port Carlsbad. Poured clear copper with a short white foamy head. Minimal lacing. Bright aroma of crystal malt and fresh hops. Lively mouthfeel with a dry finish. Crisp hoppy taste with a solid malt profile that prevents this from becoming an IPA-lite. Refreshing.

poured into a nonic glass from a 12oz brown long neck botte with a crimped cap. No dates on the bottles from the sampler case
Medium coppery color with a slight haze. Tall creamy white head turning chunky leaving sticky lace down the glass.Good retention,very little carbination looks on the flat side.
Sweet,fruity remind me a bit of juicy fruit gum,slightly diacetyl,toasty/bisquity slight burnt/metallic note, hints of grapefruit as the beer warms.
Clean at first,bisquity/dried straw astrigent with a slight tinge of alcohol,some fruityness most was drowned out by a heavy citrusy/grapefruit taste mid-way and through the finish. The taste was unbalance with lots of heavy hops. Liked the beer a bit to hoppy for the style
Light medium mouthfeel,grainy,slight cloying. Had a good drinkable quality with a dry feel leaving the mouth watering for more.

Pours a hazy golden honey color. The one finger whtie head shows decent retention and leaves substantial lacing.
The smell is of toasty malt, lemon and orange esters, and a slighty hoppy note. The flavor consists of tangy orange and lemon, malt and yeast, bitter hops, and pinch of sugar.
The mouth is light, with medium carbonation and moderate complexity. It is dry and slightly bitter, then creamy, finishing sweetly, a little sticky on the lips.
Very drinkable, even if not totally rockin' my world. I would say it is the most representative example of the style either.

Hazy apricot color with a low white heads that sinks and disappears quickly. Aroma of honey and fruit - some apricot and sweet pear. Full mouthfeel of moderate carbonation with a smooth and creamy finish. Flavor full of floral hoppiness, some honey sweetness, and a citrus finish. Some lingering bitter orange peel and pine. Very big and bright flavor, refreshing and bracing. Not overly complex, but it hits every aspect very well. Thanks to Brent.

A good auburn color with hints of light orange, ample offwhite head, good lacing. Dry grass bitter aroma.
Taste, good and bitter, was hoping for more hopping, but still is probably on the heavy side for style, on average. Caramel all over the place. Just the right amount of sweetness. Could have been sturdier down the stretch. Remains drinkable, although this variety seems to be lesser available every year.

3.95/5 rDev +10.3%
Clearish dark amber gold color, frothy head with lots of tendrils. Complicated lacing on the pint glass. Slightly beefy aroma, malty with associated caramel sugars. Lighter-bodied, but with a good sense of balance -- sweet but somewhat oak barrel deepness with a good backbone of what seems like an American west coast hop pithiness. This is an easy to throw back brew, not quite as prickly or spicy as the best in the category but without noticable flaws. A good beer with an attractive pour.

1.9/5 rDev -46.9%
Appearance: Pours an orange amber tint with an off white rather thin cream colored head leaving a thin collar of lacing. Aroma: Mild malt sweetness, mild hops, diacetyl carboard like astringency I am going to guess and say this is an old bottle. Taste: Biscuity malt undertone of hops, not much of anything special here. Mouthfeel: A tad thin and high carbonation making each sip more than cloying. Drinkability: Not a solid drinker past it's prime some beers alter for the better this one has gone bad, not worth it don't buy if in question of it's freshness.

12oz. brown bottle into a pint glass.
A: Clear light amber with a white big bubbled head. Head shrinks to a thin layer that remains throughout drinking.
S: Bitter grassy hops, grapefuit, and some malt.
T: A creeper beer. Starts mild then comes the bitterness. Lots of hops and grapefruit. This one puckers your throat. N
M: Light to medium body with great carbonation.
D: Good summer beer, as it definitely quenches.

This brew is a pretty straight-on amber. An off-white head is dense and sticks in rings and patches on the glass.
The aroma is pretty one-sided as far as hops overwhelming any malt presence, though it is backed up by a grains smell. yeast is also a bit strong, adding an odd tint. Hops are nice and herbal/flowery, giving a raw bud note.
Flavor is the same: good if not off-balance, with a grains backing and a little too much yeast. Decently tasty.
Mouthfeel is smooth, with a crisp bite from the moderate carbonation. Body is on the light side of moderate.
I'd give this one a shot, though I think it may be a bit off-style.

Nice looking bitter, the standard copper color with a modest amount of just off white head topping off a slightly cloudy body. Pretty much what you would expect and are not disappointed by. The smell is mostly a slightly grainy hops odor and not much more. The taste is dominated by the same hops, nicely bitter, but also a bit graining and a bit citrus, with very little malt for balance. The good amount of carbonation and medium body give a pretty good mouthfeel. My only question is where this falls. Is this an american bitter, or is it just somewhere between Avery's IPA and a Pale ale? Or is it just a hoppy amber ale? All in all this is not a bad beer but it's also not great. If you run across it, it's worth trying, but if you are searching for the best American Bitter you should probably look elsewhere.

Pours a clear pale gold with a giant white foamy head. The head is long lasting and leaves great lacing. The smell is "bisquity", pine filled hops, and sweet malt,but it's not too strong. The taste has bitter pine hops,sweet malt,bread yeast, and some floral flavors. The m/f is light with the flavors abit out of balance. This isn't a bad beer, it has some flaws,but it could easily be a summer lawnmower beer. Cheers.

Clear, dim gold with patchy yellow-stained lace.
Simple, clean scents of lemon rinds and dough.
Begins with a dash of toffee sweetness that is immediately enveloped with a pasty, doughy vagueness. Turns mineral and pleasingly metallic early on. Iron and hard water lead into lemon peels, and bitter herbs. Lemongrass and dead foliage, then it rides out mimicking tea. And I mean flat-out identity theft.
Light bodied, and drainable in gulps. Many of the variables are in place, and with a juicier malt load, this could really be special.

A wide dispersion in reviews for this beer, so I thought I would try it myself. Poured with a large bubbly head. Was very fresh, from October, with a yellow-golden appearance. Nice bitter, hops and highly carbonated, and what I needed after a long day of eating. Dare I say, session ale?

Everyone's talking about Rory McIlroy right now with his big win at the British Open. He even got the coveted Sports Illustrated cover, which is rare for any golfer other than Tiger Woods. Here at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy, we like to teach golfers how to improve their game and love to take a look at some of the pros' best techniques.
According to our Director of Golf Instruction Doug Weaver, Rory McIlroy is known for his rotating swing. When you look at the completion of his swing, his right shoulder is over the left leg and past the left shoulder rather than stopping the rotation.
How can you learn that technique? Weaver suggests naturally tossing a ball toward to the left of the target line almost at a right angle to get the feel of it. He says it translates into better compression of the ball, which you'll hit clean and far. Watch this video of Weaver demonstrating:
In a recent article, Golf Digest also noted McIlroy's outstanding putting at the British Open where he made 20 birdies and two eagles and one-putted 34 out of 72 greens. The article notes that his putting coach Dave Stockton teaches players to "begin to set their stance while looking out at the line -- not at the ball." At the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy, we offer eight hours of putting instruction every week to help you work on that aspect of your game.
The Daily Mail's Tony Jacklin says, "Rory's technique is fabulous, showing that golf is nothing to do with size but all about speed and balance and rhythm and skill. It's magical to watch."
Weaver offers some tips for putting like McIlroy in this video filmed at the oceanfront 10th hole at the Robert Trent Jones course at Palmetto Dunes:
Of course, if you want to be like Rory, it doesn't hurt to use Nike clubs and wear Nike apparel, too. The Palmetto Dunes golf pro shop at the Robert Trent Jones golf course is one of only six Nike Golf TTC Concept shops across the U.S. where you can find plenty of Nike gear.
If you want to learn to play like Rory, look no farther than the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy. Call us at 866-650-4130 to schedule your private lesson today!
On first glance, it may not look like the sports of baseball or tennis have much in common with golf – aside from hitting a ball – but according to Palmetto Dunes' Director of Golf Instruction Doug Weaver, the sports actually do have several things in common.
After attending an Atlanta Braves baseball game recently, Weaver noticed that the way a baseball player hits the ball with the bat is not so different than the impact of a golfer hitting a ball on the PGA tour.
In imitation of baseball players, he offers these tips to keep in mind for hitting a golf ball effectively:
Weaver also says that tennis players tend to make great golfers, because tennis players develop the same muscles stroking a forehand that are required for a proper golf swing. These are the oblique muscles, the same ones used for laughing and coughing.
Says Weaver, tennis superstar Rafael Nadal emphasized building his obliques to increase his racket speed. He also notes that other tennis greats who've pursued golf include Ivan Lendl, Leyton Hewitt and Stan Smith. Golfer Jack Nicklaus was also known for playing tennis and even built a tennis court in his backyard. Weaver has seen plenty of visitors to Palmetto Dunes play one sport in the morning and the other in the afternoon.
Says Weaver, "the bottom line is you'll play better tennis if you play golf and vice versa." So we invite golfers to give tennis a try and tennis players to give golf a try. In fact, wouldn't that make a great New Year's resolution?
Here at Palmetto Dunes, we have outstanding facilities for both, making it easy to enjoy both sports on your Hilton Head vacation. Let us know if we can help you select the right golf or tennis clinic to help you get started or if we can set you up with private lessons at the Palmetto Dunes Tennis Center or with Doug Weaver at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy.

When it comes to the PGA Championship this weekend at Oak Hill, all eyes may be on Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, but there's something special that happened at this same course 14 years ago that left our own Director of Golf Instruction Doug Weaver with a record-setting moment in history.
Weaver, then 29, was one of four players at the 1989 US Open at Oak Hill Country Club in Rochester, N.Y., to hit a hole-in-one in less than two hours, a record for a PGA event. He was the first to hit the ace. It happened on the 156-yard sixth hole where Weaver used a 7-iron to make the shot. The ball went into a ridge to the right of the cup and then rolled back into the cup for the famous shot.
"The decibel level in the grandstand went up and up and up," said Weaver at the time in the New York Times, and, he said, when the ball disappeared into the cup, "it sounded like a clap of lightning."
Three subsequent players made a hole-in-one on the very same hole and using the same 7-iron club after Weaver. "The best part for me was that I was on the 12th tee, less than 100 yards from the sixth green when Mark got his hole-in-one," Weaver said. "I was in the middle of the 13th fairway when I heard the roar for Jerry, and I was on the 14th hole when I heard the roar for Nick's. I was able to relive it every time."
According to the New York Times, the odds of such an event happening all on the same day are 332,000 to 1. Even for a professional to hit a hole-in-one on the PGA tour in any given round is calculated at 3,708 to 1.
Weaver has been featured in articles and several media outlets across the country as we head into the PGA Championship at the same New York course this weekend. Mentions of Weaver's famous shot have run in the New York Times, Chicago Times, been discussed on the Golf Channel and more.
Should you hope for a hole-in-one at this year's Championship? We're not betting on it. The sixth hole has been changed since then and the slope softened. Of course maybe if Doug Weaver was there…
If you would like to take a lesson or clinic from our very own PGA pro, Weaver himself, give us a call at 866-744-7558. He offers instructional programs every day of the week at the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy for players of every skill level.
We love kids here at Palmetto Dunes and we like to keep them busy with our many kid-friendly activities like surfing, tennis, kayaking, swimming and fishing. But golf is especially near and dear to our heart since we have three amazing and varied Hilton Head golf courses all inside our beautiful resort.
PGA America and the National Golf Course Owners' Association have declared July Family Golf Month in an effort to promote golf as a fun, family recreational activity that lets you spend uninterrupted quality time together.
"Getting the family together for a round of golf, whether it's nine or 18 holes, is a great outdoor activity that gives parents the opportunity to have uninterrupted conversations and quality time with their children," says PGA of America President Ted Bishop. "It's also a great way for the entire family to enjoy golf's health and wellness benefits while creating memories for a lifetime."
So how can your family enjoy golf at our South Carolina golf resort? Ah, let us count the ways!
Family Golf School
We offer three-day, two-hour private golf lessons designed specifically for your family at our Hilton Head Family Golf School. We'll meet everyone at exactly their skill level and help them improve their game. We love this video showing a mom and her daughters during their Family Golf School lesson!

To encourage our golfers to teach the game to their kids, we let kids play free at the Robert Trent Jones Hilton Head golf course and the Arthur Hills golf course after 4 p.m. with an adult paying regular rate.

Looking to better your golf game this summer? We've got some tips from our very own Hilton Head golf pro and director of golf instruction Doug Weaver. From putting to your swing, he's got some golf tips to make your summer of golf even better!
1) Sidehill lies are common and are rarely practiced. Here are some easy tips to remember: find a point in between your toes and heels where your balance feels like it is under your shoestrings, take multiple practice swings to allow your body to adjust to the feeling of that particular shot and ask your playing partner to watch where your ball goes so you can focus on making solid impact.
2) Improve your chip! Measure the distance between the shaft back to the face with your finger. This tells you the loft. Then, if you want to see what the loft will do for you, lay the pitching wedge down on the ground and step on the head. This will tell you the trajectory. Now, place the ball in the middle, lean on your left foot and use your putting stroke. Remember; let the club do the work!
3) When putting, use your shoulders, or big muscles, to allow your little muscles, or your hands, to stay soft. The result is a naturally smooth, unhurried and consistent putt. It's easy to work against yourself by guiding the club instead of letting it do the work for you.
4) Swing the golf club like you are swinging a baseball bat on your slice. The traditional batting stroke allows the forearms to rotate in both the backswing and the forward hit. The golf swing needs the same forearm rotation to allow the clubhead to be square at impact.
5) Remember to swing "Nice and easy when it's breezy" than trying to hit the ball through the wind! But the harder the swing, the more spin on the ball, which is only exaggerated by the wind.
What area of your golf game do you most need to work on? For more help with your swing or other challenges on the green, try one of our Hilton Head golf schools or clinics. View the complete Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy schedule.
We also offer a variety of golf vacation packages that all you to improve your game while enjoying plenty of down time, as well. For example, with our Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy golf vacation package, you get two full days of instruction, resort villa accommodations, a free club fitting, video analysis and discounts on resort activities.
Here at Palmetto Dunes, we believe that improving your golf game often times starts in your head. Our Hilton Head golf school, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy, offers a variety of classes that work on your mental golf game. Our head of golf instruction, Doug Weaver, is a big proponent of spending time on the mind in order to improve your skills.
"The average person is so busy, they don't have time to master the perfect golf game. Plus, every golfer is restricted by the limits of his physical skill," says Doug. "The one thing within our control, however, is how we approach an overall round, a specific hole or a given shot."
We offer a Mental Golf Workshop weekly, as well as part of our three-day Hilton Head golf school. Before you even come to class, you'll fill out a survey online, which takes about 15 minutes, that determines your golf personality. The result is a 24-page report that Doug uses to improve your game during the Hilton Head golf class. With the survey, you'll get an analysis of your golf temperament, golf fitness tendencies and ability to work with instructors and get customized strategies for pre-round preparation, playing shots and course management.
Doug teaches his students how to concentrate and not just think on a conscious level, but a subconscious level. But he promises, no hypnotism involved :). "It's a fun way to play golf," says Doug.
He encourages his students to envision a good golf shot before ever taking a swing and even to try putting with eyes closed, or with eyes on the cup and not the ball.
Come try Doug's methods of using your mind to become a better golf player. Read more about our 2- and 3-day golf schools and variety of golf clinics. Call us at 866-744-7558 to reserve your spot today or to book one of our South Carolina golf getaways that include lessons, tee times and accommodations.

The group is overseen by St. Luke's out pastor, the Rev. Trent Williams, who said he was inspired by a friend's similar effort.
"I have a friend who is a pastor in Northern New Jersey and they started an LGBT organization a few years back because they saw a need for one," he said. "We saw the same need. There was a young man in our congregation who had recently come out and there wasn't a lot in our area, so we thought our congregation could do the same good as my friend's did."
Williams grew up in Central Texas and understands how LGBT youth can feel about the frightening coming-out process.
"Being a high-school student in the early '90s and having my own coming-out delayed for a long time, I wanted to make sure that for this generation, there was a safe space where they could be themselves and explore all the issues. If I had had something like that, it would have made a huge difference," he said.
Williams said that to get the word out about The Rainbow Café, he and his team have been reaching out to Gay-Straight Alliances at area high schools and working closely with high-school counselors and launched a Facebook page.
The group plans to meet 4-6 p.m. the second Sunday of the month, with its first meeting on Jan. 13. Williams said the organization hopes to have movie nights and bring in various speakers to talk about LGBT-related issues with the youth.
Williams said the LGBT-affirming congregation is an uncommon entity in the Far Northeast.
"From talking with some of the parents in our congregation, we got the sense that it could be a difficult area to grow up in. It is heavily Catholic and we are one of the only congregations that is open and affirming," Williams said. "We've become a safe space for a lot of people."
The immediate goal is to get the group and its members established and then spread the idea to other congregations.
"We want to create a bond, have some good experiences together, good discussions and some social time. Hopefully that will be a kind of model for another community," the pastor said. "The reason we are doing this is because another church paved the way. We hope it will spread and more of these programs will be around."

Cultural Heritage Month Celebrations
The celebration of the different cultures represented at Bradley is something we task very seriously. Each year, our office works closely with several multicultural student organizations to host a variety of events highlighting the history and heritage of the different cultural backgrounds. For example, each fall the Association of Latin American Students (ALAS) and OMSS plans an annual Latin American Heritage Banquet during Hispanic Heritage Month (September 15- October 15), which provides Bradley students with the opportunity learn about the richness of the Latin American culture through dancing, food that representative of the culture, and a variety of other engaging ideas.
Additionally, each February the OMSS works with a number of multicultural student organizations to plan programs and events that educate students on campus about African American history.
Although these are two of the longest standing traditional cultural celebrations we host, our celebrations are not limited to just these two areas. We rely heavily on student initiative and involvement to brainstorm and implement any programs or activities that are representative of a culture that students can learn about at Bradley.


text: content LE Magazine July 2006 What Is Nuclear Factor-Kappa Beta? By Julius G. Goepp, MD For the past seven years, Life Extension has published extensive articles about chronic inflammation and the numerous diseases it causes, such as cancer, atherosclerosis, arthritis, dementia, and more. In these articles, we showed how aging people over-express a molecule called nuclear factor-kappa beta, which then ignites a lethal inflammatory cascade throughout the body. An abundance of new scientific studies has validated the multiple pathological effects inflicted by nuclear factor-kappa beta. Fortunately, scientists have discovered methods to safely suppress this insidious chronic inflammation-inducing agent. Aging humans are thus able to protect against a major cause of age-related disease. In this article, we enlighten Life Extension members about what nuclear factor-kappa beta is and what can be done to suppress it. Understanding the relationship between nuclear factor-kappa beta (NFkB) and inflammation is critical to maintaining your health and longevity. Over the last several years, scientists have gained new insights into how NFkB functions in the body. As a result, we are on the verge of finding ways to overcome our genetic predisposition toward degenerative conditions such as cancer, heart disease, arthritis, and even asthma. Simply put, NFkB is a protein that acts as a switch to turn inflammation on and off in the body. Scientists describe NFkB as a "smoke sensor" that detects dangerous threats like free radicals and infectious agents. In response to these threats, NFkB "turns on" the genes that produce inflammation. As we age, NFkB expression in the body increases, provoking widespread chronic inflammation and setting the stage for diseases ranging from atherosclerosis and diabetes to Alzheimer's. The knowledge of this simple fact should motivate us to counteract NFkB's deleterious effects and thus guard against many of the diseases commonly associated with aging. As we have reported over the last several years, inflammation is the key initiating factor in major degenerative diseases. In fact, some scientists estimate that inflammation underlies up to 98% of the diseases afflicting humans, including a vast array of seemingly different conditions such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.1 NFkB is an instigating factor that unleashes inflammatory responses in chronic disease conditions. For example, NFkB can signal our cells to continue to multiply long past their normal life span, which can promote cancer. Furthermore, NFkB can further spark the smoldering inflammation that damages joint tissues, thereby provoking crippling arthritic conditions. NFkB likewise plays a role in spurring inflammation in the nervous system, which can set the stage for the onset of various neurological disorders. Scientists believe that NFkB-induced inflammation in the airways may play a role in asthma. RECENT FINDINGS ON NFkB AND DISEASE In recent years, numerous studies have shed light on the disease-promoting effects of NFkB and the benefits of quieting its activity in the body. For instance, recent studies indicate that NFkB plays a role in the following conditions: Autoimmune joint disease: NFkB plays a crucial role in both rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, according to Spanish researchers.2 These two autoimmune conditions are known to produce severe joint pain and deterioration, as well as other symptoms that dramatically impair quality of life. Effective therapies to block NFkB may positively modulate these disease processes. Hepatitis C: Infection with the hepatitis C virus is a growing cause of liver disease and liver cancer, and (unlike hepatitis B) there is no vaccine to protect against this deadly threat. In early 2006, Japanese scientists determined that NFkB plays a key role in the process by which the hepatitis C virus leads to the proliferation of human liver cancer cells.3 Inflammatory bowel disease: Crohn's disease is an inflammatory bowel disease associated with symptoms such as severe abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, and rectal bleeding. Recently, scientists noted that therapies that improve the symptoms and pathological signs of Crohn's disease may work by decreasing levels of NFkB.4 Survival after heart attack: The death of heart muscle due to a blocked coronary artery is known as a heart attack. If the heart cannot adequately repair itself after such an attack, a common result is heart failure, in which the heart muscle cannot pump enough blood to meet the body's needs. New findings from 2006 suggest that blocking NFkB may support cardiac muscle healing and prevent heart failure following heart attack.5 Prostate cancer: Zinc has long been known for its role in supporting healthy prostate function. Research from 2006 suggests that NFkB may provide the link between zinc and protection against prostate cancer. Zinc supplementation suppresses NFkB's signaling effects, and researchers believe this may help prevent the metastasis of malignant prostate cancer cells.6 Diabetes: Insulin resistance in muscle tissues is a key factor in type II diabetes. In a recent investigation, researchers studied the muscle tissue of people with type II diabetes and found signs of increased NFkB activity. Reducing NFkB through exercise training in these individuals led to improvements in blood sugar metabolism.7 The identification of NFkB as a critical "switch" that "turns on" inflammation has profound implications for both preventing and treating some of today's deadliest diseases. Clearly, NFkB is something we need to control if our goal is to lead a long and healthy life. Fortunately, ongoing research continues to uncover a wealth of natural remedies that suppress NFkB's activity in the body. These remedies provide the foundation for safe, effective nutritional strategies to quell NFkB and disease-provoking inflammation, thus providing a formidable defense against a vast array of deadly diseases and against aging itself. Interacting with DNA: How NFkB Works Present in the interior portion (cytoplasm) of every cell, NFkB is normally bound to inhibitory proteins that keep it in an inactive state. When cells are exposed to infectious invaders or stressors such as free radicals or environmental toxins (like cigarette smoke), NFkB is activated. NFkB then travels to the cells' command center, known as the nucleus, where it binds with DNA to turn certain genes on or off. By interacting with more than 400 different genes, NFkB can thus activate the body's blueprints for inflammation.1 These gene products are used to coordinate further inflammatory and immune responses in the body. NFkB and Cancer Development One of NFkB's most lethal functions is inducing cancer in our bodies. Scientists are finding that, in addition to its central role in producing inflammation, NFkB plays an equally prominent and related role in the development of cancer. THREE STAGES OF CANCER DEVELOPMENT Initiation: Cells become cancerous when their DNA is damaged by any of a host of factors, including various forms of radiation, oxidative stress, and specific toxins. Such DNA damage occurs over 3 million times per cell per day. Fortunately, because of cellular repair mechanisms, few of these mutations go on to produce cancer. Cells that survive with enough unrepaired DNA to potentially become cancerous are said to have become initiated. Promotion: Even initiated cells rarely go on to become cancerous, because cells in most tissues have lost the ability to replicate themselves. The process of programmed cell death, or apoptosis, prevents potentially cancerous cells from passing damaged DNA along to future generations of cells. Unfortunately, under certain circumstances, cells regain the ability to replicate. Such "immortalized" cells are said to have undergone promotion, the second stage in cancer development. Progression: Even at this late stage, our bodies' defenses normally maintain control even over collections of initiated cells that have undergone promotion. The immune system constantly patrols the body looking for potentially cancerous cells. When it finds them, it destroys these trouble-making cells and mounts an offensive against similar cells found in other body areas. Cancerous tissue that has overcome these defenses is said to be in the final stage of cancer development, known as progression. Since NFkB plays a role in all three stages of cancer development, understanding its actions as well as strategies to control its activity is crucial to both the prevention and adjuvant treatment of various cancers. NFkB acts in each of the main phases of cancer development, which are known as initiation, promotion, and progression. NFkB "switches on" genes that allow cells to become initiated, and once initiated, to have their growth promoted, and once promoted, to progress and invade healthy tissue.8 Successful cancers evade powerful repair and control mechanisms at each of the three distinct stages of cancer development.8 Since NFkB is involved in each of the three stages, it is critically important that we understand NFkB's actions in our bodies and what we can do to better control them. The NFkB system has emerged as the central actor in the link between inflammation and cancer. NFkB affects both malignant and non-malignant tumor cells. In malignant cells, it turns on genes that create resistance to apoptotic cell death and DNA damage, in effect promoting cancer development by rendering cells capable of reproducing, even when they are exposed to pharmaceutical anti-cancer agents. In non-malignant tumor cells, NFkB turns on genes that produce factors to stimulate blood vessel formation, in support of rapid tumor enlargement and progression. Finally, byproducts produced by NFkB stimulation can also damage DNA, thereby contributing to the very earliest stages of tumor initiation.8 Continued on Page 2 of 3

Anyone know if there is a 12V sealed beam headlight that will work in the original housing on a 100? The flat back housing Thanks

In all things know which way the wind is blowing.
Re: 12 volt sealed beam for 100
you can modify a conventional 12v sealed beam bulb to work.. you have to grind the index bumps and run a ground wire, but it will work fine and only the learned will know the difference.
I've never met a tractor I didn't like....but I have found some that were greatly annoying....
Re: 12 volt sealed beam for 100
Check my How-To on this in the How-To section.
Even the standard sealed beams are getting EXPENSIVE. Tractor Supply just doubled their prices here in the last 6 months, and went from Wagners to some cheap brand.
If you have a harbor freight tool store in the area you can get these CHEAP:
http://www.harborfreight.com/12-volt-ha ... 93904.html
Harvest the bulb. It's the same dimensions as a standard 4511 sealed beam, and the indexing tabs are steel so they are easier to cut off.

Cellphone Conversation on Train Tips Listener to Planned Pillsbury Layoffs
Posted Feb 19, 2009 4:59 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A post on Above the Law this morning reported that an unidentified tipster claimed to have overheard two top lawyers at Pillsbury Winthrop Shaw Pittman discussing planned attorney layoffs in a cell phone conversation loudly conducted on a crowded train.
And that apparently may be true, reports the Legal Times, in an article reprinted in New York Lawyer (reg. req.): The law firm has not only confirmed in a brief statement today that it "will be implementing reductions to ensure that our resources are aligned with our business needs," but also apologizes in it "for the unfortunate manner in which our deliberations about reductions have become public."
Details of the expected layoffs aren't provided in the Pillsbury statement.

With new lenses getting more expensive all the time, many photographers choose to purchase used gear and save money. While certain lenses can only be bought new (at least for a while), like the just-released Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8, used lens market is quite often an important aspect to consider when choosing a system. In this article I will try to explain the benefits of buying used lenses, as well as give you some tips on how to buy used lenses on-location knowing you'll get a high-quality piece of equipment you will be happy with for years to come.
Why Buy Used Lenses?
The obvious reason is to save cost, of course. Used lenses (in fully functional condition) can be bough for as much as 30 percent cheaper than brand new ones, and sometimes even more than that. This especially makes sense if you choose to switch systems – you can often buy lenses for as much as you sold those of previous brand, making the switch painless. Of course, newer lenses will be a bit more expensive, but still cheaper than what you'd get if you bought retail. In any case, this is down to each person's opinion if he's comfortable buying someone else's lens.
The common question, however, is whether used lenses can be bought with full confidence. In short, no, unless you have a chance to thoroughly test it yourself before making the purchase. There are plenty of ways to make sure you're not buying a dud, and to protect yourself from a serious financial damage. I'll let you in on a secret – I've bought at least half of my gear used, including my 50mm f/1.4G lens I use more than any other, ever.
If a Used Lens Is On Sale, Does That Mean It's Defective?
There aren't all that many untrustworthy people out there as you may think, and most sellers have logical reasons to get rid of their gear. Ask yourself a question: if you were to sell a lens of your own, would that necessary mean you wish to fool someone into buying a spoilt piece of equipment? There are numerous reasons – some sellers find they don't use that particular lens enough to justify owning it, or they may have found an alternative they think is more suitable to their style of shooting. People sell zoom lenses in favor of primes, and vice versa, all the time. Others begin to prefer a specific type of photography, for example – bird photography, and thus sell off their wide-angle lenses. Others want to make a switch to a different system or have a frustration with that particular lens that you may not find all that annoying (many people find slow focusing of 50mm f/1.4G lens a deal-breaker, while I've found a way to live with it while I must). Either way, number of viable reasons exceeds number of tricksters and thieves by quite a margin, rest assured.
With that in mind, I'm afraid I must be fair and mention that some people do try to fool a buyer by selling defective gear, and I know that from my own experience (I bought a lens with AF defect serious enough to be unusable, and sold it to a person with a warning and for a lot less money). And that is why we need short, simple guides like this to make buying used lenses a much safer bet.

Thanks for proving my fears well founded, McAfee.
A while ago, I wrote a piece about not trusting the cloud for a variety of reasons, predominately security and the potential for a third party to ruin my company whether it meant to or not. McAfee's massive blunder last week provided a case in point for that argument.
[ Get the no-nonsense explanations and advice you need to take real advantage of cloud computing in the InfoWorld's 21-page Cloud Computing Deep Dive PDF special report, featuring an exclusive excerpt from David Linthicum's new book on cloud architecture. | Stay up on the cloud with InfoWorld's Cloud Computing Report newsletter. ]
Granted, you can't really call McAfee a cloud vendor. McAfee's play is sort of the cloud model in reverse; instead of customers placing important assets on McAfee's cloud, customers download and install McAfee's software on their important assets -- desktops and servers -- and trust McAfee to issue updates without manual supervision. McAfee betrayed that trust in the worst way possible: It took down thousands and thousands of customer systems.
The same thing can and will happen to cloud vendors and their customers, but the damage could be far worse. While the McAfee debacle caused primarily Windows XP SP3 desktops and workstations to crash, servers and the corporate data stored on them were unaffected. If a similar situation were to happen to a real cloud vendor, the situation would be reversed. The time and aggravation required to reimage, repair, or reinstall hundreds or thousands of corporate desktop pales in comparison to the specter of massive data loss or long-term application and resource unavailability due to third-party problems. This should worry anyone who places trust in any cloud they don't control.
Naturally, other aspects of IT require significant trust in third-party vendors, but these areas are generally compartmentalized and can be accompanied by suitable backup strategies. You trust your storage vendor, but you also back up the data on their arrays. You trust your server vendors, but still keep spares on hand and implement virtualization or clustering to protect against hardware failure. You trust your WAN vendor, but have the capacity to deploy VPN backup in the event of a link failure.

MADISON (WKOW) -- Some of Paul Heenan's close friends say they're not giving up in what they see as a fight for justice, despite a closed case at the police department.
Madison Police Chief Noble Wray said Wednesday Officer Stephen Heimsness violated no police procedures when he shot and killed an unarmed Madison man last November as Heimsness responded to a burglary call, and said Heimsness is cleared to return to duty as a patrol officer.
A group of Heenan's family and friends have been pushing for an outside investigation of the shooting, despite the report put out by the Dane County District Attorney's Office, which also cleared Heimsness of any criminal liability. They aren't satisfied by Chief Wray's firm statement during a news conference that his department's report is fair.
The group is now pushing for an overhaul of state statutes that currently allow internal investigations to be the final word in police shootings. They want a new process to keep coworkers from investigating each other.
"When your process introduces conflicts of interest that simply are unavoidable because they're built into the system, there's no way to get to a level of accountability and impartiality that is required in a situation like this," says Nathan Royko Maurer, who lived with Heenan on S. Baldwin Street.
Wray said Wednesday morning his department regrets the circumstances that led to Heenan's death and the grief it has caused his loved ones and the public.
"We know that those impacted have some challenges with community trust, we will continue to be transparent, we will listen, we will be professional and caring," says Wray.
Dan Frei, president of the local police union Madison Professional Police Officers Association, says he backs the department's decisions and defends the current internal review process. Frei says the department strives to get the clearest picture of what happened, and isn't afraid to admit when an employee makes a mistake.
Jeff Scott Olson, lawyer for the Heenan family, says there could be a good case for a civil lawsuit. He plans to review the department's report and talk with the family about what they want to do. Olson says an external investigation is needed.
"There's the possibility of real bias when you have people investigating fellow officers that they might know and like, even if there isn't any real bias in the investigation there is the appearance of bias," says Olson.
Heenan's friends and family have started a Facebook push for supporters to send letters to lawmakers and area officials to change state laws allowing internal investigations.

Student with 3.85 GPA gets rejection letters from UCs
Original post made by Parent on May 28, 2012
My friend's daughter got 3.85 GPA, had 5 AP classes in high school, was on competitive swimming team, volunteered 100+ hours, was active in school activities, yet she got rejected by all 4 UCs that she applied to. And these were not even the highest tier of UCs, not Berkeley. She did not apply for more schools and thought that UC San Diego and UC Santa Cruz were her safe choices. The whole family is devastated. She is the girl that always did everything right, she did not party, she studied hard, she volunteereed, she played sports. The family is incredibly upset. Of course, she can go to De Anza and Foothill, but this girl was looking forward to student life, to living on campus, to be in a real college.... Sentiments aside, but shouldn't there some sort of mechanism by which schools in UC system would look at such cases individually and determine if after all she can be admitted in one of them?
on May 28, 2012 at 7:40 pm
[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.] Public colleges may use sports and volunteering as tie-breakers, but they don't help much if all the accepted students have significantly better GPAs and grades. With the economy still recovering, a lot more top students are picking local public schools instead of the Ivy League this year. [Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff.]
Shame on your friend's guidance counselors for not managing their expectations and pushing them to consider some less competitive schools. Maybe they can consider taking a semester or year off to travel or intern and then try again next year?
on May 28, 2012 at 7:42 pm
I'm sorry for your friend's daughter, that is a hard blow. Was her GPA 3.85 weighted or unweighted? In any case, the UC's are getting harder and harder to get into as California continues in its budget crisis. The UC's are admitting fewer in-state students because those from out of state pay more.
That said, only applying to 4 UC's, of which the lowest caliber is UC Santa Cruz, is very risky for nay student these days. UC San Diego is one of the top tier ones these days. It's so easy to put down a couple more campuses - my very bright daughter (currently at UCLA) made sure to include Merced and Riverside so she'd be sure to get in somewhere.
Your friend's daughter can appeal the decision (though it's possible the deadline for that has already passed). That occasionally will work.

By a voice vote on 9/28/06, the House passed the Secure Border Initiative Financial Accountability Act of 2006 (H.R. 6162). The bill directs the DHS Inspector General to review each contract action related to the Secure Border Initiative having a value of $20 million or more to determine whether such action fully complies with cost requirements, performance objectives, and timelines. The Inspector General would be required to complete his review no later than 60 days after the date of the initiation of the contract action and upon the conclusion of the performance of the contract. The bill further requires the Inspector General to report to the DHS Secretary on cost overruns, significant delays in contract execution, lack of rigorous contract management, insufficient financial oversight, and other high-risk business practices. The DHS Secretary would then be required to notify Congress and take immediate steps to rectify the problems within 30 days.
An earlier version of this legislation passed the House as section 109 of H.R. 4437. The language of the bill also appears in the fiscal year 2007 DHS authorization measure that passed the Committee on Homeland Security in July 2006.

As we get to the end of August the days are cooling down slightly and the evenings are definitely cooling down. It's a great time of the summer, but as the days get shorter we realize fall is just around the corner.
Fall is our favorite time On Golden Pond. Now is the time to be thinking about booking an October visit to our Holderness B&B. The area surrounding Squam Lake and throughout the White Mountains will be ablaze with color. Reds, yellows, oranges… Mother Nature's true art work is on display with the beautiful trees everywhere in the northeast.
Of course, what better way to enjoy the fall beauty than by spending a few days at a country inn/bed and breakfast. Experience our exceptional New Hampshire lodging where you'll be pampered in our comfortable, spacious guest rooms and in the morning with our full country breakfast. Spend the days driving through the mountains or hiking the numerous trails in the Squam Range or the White Mountains.
And fall is also a great time to be on Squam Lake or Lake Winnipesaukee. Plan to include a boat tour on either lake during your visit.

At least 50 people were taken to area hospitals after a crash involving four Wawasee school buses full of middle and high school student.
Forty-six of those patients were taken to Kosciusko Community Hospital. On Thursday morning we were told all of them were released. IU Health Goshen said they treated and released four patients.
One bus driver, 61-year-old John Wagoner, was air lifted to Parkview Regional Medical Center in Fort Wayne. On Thursday morning hospital officials told FOX28 Wagoner was out of surgery and in fair and stable condition. One of the other drivers, 47-year-old Julie Close is in fair condition with a leg injury.
The other two drivers, 64-year-old Cynthia Routh and 63-year-old David Granger, were not reported seriously injured in the crash. All bus drivers involved in the incident will undergo drug and alcohol testing. Kosciusko County deputies say Wagoner was driving the rear bus that crashed into the Close's bus leading to the chain reaction.
The crash happened around 3:30 p.m. on State Road 13 not far from Wawasee Middle School. It happened when a bus was stopped to let a 9th grader off the bus. "I was getting off the bus and I was I'd say a foot away," said Marcus Gagye, that's how close he was to his bus when the collision happened. "As I was backing up bus 28 just crashed into bus 44."
Marcus said he's always the first one to get off the bus after school. Wednesday his dad was waiting for him when he heard the crash. "It almost sounded like rolling thunder. It was almost like a boom boom!" said Brian Gagye.
He quickly rushed to the scene. "I yelled at my wife call 911 then I ran over and started pulling people off the bus, kids jumping out the window at me," said Gagye.
He said law enforcement and paramedics showed up shortly after that. Members of Wawasee Community Schools weren't far behind. "We heard on the bus radio about 3:30 an accident that occurred south of our middle school," said Superintendent Tom Edington. He said they do emergency training exercises at the schools but still wasn't quite prepared for what he saw at the crash. "I was in shock, students were in shock."
Between 100 and 120 students were on the buses when the crash happened. Edington said five students were taken away by ambulance. About 30 were taken to Koscuisko Community Hospital by a school bus with a police escort. And about another 30 were taken to Wawasee Middle School where nurses and doctors checked them out. All the students were on their way home from school. "All four buses contained students from the Wawasee Middle School and also Wawasee High School," said Sgt. Chad Hill with the Kosciusko County Sheriff's department.
Hill said they are continuing to investigate but based on preliminary evidence he can say this, "One of the buses rear ended one of the middle buses and caused the collision, chair reaction collision that continued to the front bus."
For the students regardless of how or why it happened it was a frightening experience. "It was really scary I was like two feed from getting hit," said Marcus Gagye.
The Superintendent said there will be counselors on hand tomorrow because this was obviously a traumatic experience for the children. Also all bus routes will run as normal tomorrow because they have enough replacements to keep the system going.
State Road 13 was closed for around 4 hours, and re-opened to traffic at around 7:30 PM.
