iO Saison, vintage late 2009
Served in New Belgium tulip
A: Pours deep orange/amber with towering soft head. Great retention. When it finally settles down, delicate, intricate lacing is left. The beer itself is very clear and effervescent.
S: White pepper and a strange flowery quality, which I never quite solve, lead off. A soft sourness, more acetic than acidic, follows. A little damp wood and funk are detected, but I have to strain my sense of smell for them.
T: Above characteristics are all present in taste, if in different proportions. A hint of malty sweetness sneaks in front of white pepper, though. I suspect lactobacillus joins acetobacteria in sourness profile. Brettanomyces is definitely present, but provides more drying earthiness than barnyard funk. Finish is dry and moderately sour.
M: Medium-light body and carbonation. Another softer Saison, which isn't bad. Drying.
O: iO Saison seems simple at first, then different layers of complexity become evident. Good drinkability, too.

Enjoyed on tap at Jolly Pumpkin in Ann Arbor. Baudelaire iO pours a deep and swampy red and ruby color with some patches of brown that appear as the light passing through the brew changes. Swampy like you'd expect a saison to be; almost 100% opaque, in fact, topped off with a sappy and thin, rose tinted skin. Very intriguing look, unique and interesting.
I had to go back about five or six times, taking big, deep inhales each time, and I still wasn't able to capture everything I was smelling. So complex and so unlike anything I've ever smelled before. It's a grand mixture of typical saison-like qualities and a brilliant inclusion of some spices and florals that I haven't experienced before.
The nose is very floral, almost akin to a wild patch of flowers. Hibiscus is heavy in the aroma, along with leaves, roses, wood, wet oak, and a bit of forest floor. The fruity, saison side of things balance and intertwine nicely; cherries, plums, and a bit of tart apple skins. Very perfume-y on the edges, backed up with that signature Jolly Pumpkin funk - light must, wet hay, and mild barnyard on the back end. Holy shit!
So, what does this bad-boy taste like? A refreshing, floral saison - that's what. Up front, there's a good bit of leafy and lightly herbal tea leaf with white pepper and lavender oil playing supporting roles. The palate picks up on even more spices than the nose... I wish I was a chef, so maybe I could identify some more of these spices. The incredible thing is how there's so much going on at once, yet nothing is overpowering anything else.
Some very mildly tart cherries and juicy apples make their way into the mix, right about the same time the oak debuts. Again, that signature JP funk rules the finish with some musky cheese cloth and wet cellar flavors, coupling with the oak barrel to give a dry finish that leaves you wanting more with each sip. The carbonation is on point, and though I'd prefer a slightly heavier beer, its thin and crisp body works for the style.
No doubt, one of the most interesting beers I've had; there's really no other beer I can think of that would be a "good" substitute - you've really gotta try it for yourself. So refreshing and so easy to drink, too. It's crazy how many things are going on at once and how well they all harmonize and create such a nice experience for the senses. What a nice saison.

4.46/5 rDev +9.3%
A: A hazy, medium copper ale with a fairly deep red hue. The persistent head pours with about a finger of rocky, ecru colored head tinted with a touch of red that leaves some thick ropes of lacing on the glass.
S: Aromas of brett and hibiscus a prominent along with some light fruit aromas. A fruity and herbal nose backed by a solid barnyard funk. There is a light spicy hops note, a slight oak character when it warms and little malt character.
T: A firm tartness with a citrus zest bitterness dominates giving the impression of equal parts brett, rose hips and hibiscus contributing the funky bitterness. The balance is firmly bitter with a There is a soft malt character in the front and middle but it ends fairly dry with an aftertaste of herbal and citrus peel-like bitterness.
M: A fluffy medium light bodied beer with a strong level of carbonation that gets just a little prickle on the tip of the tongue.
O: The saison base is exceptional on it's own with a some sourness and barrel character but I really like is the interaction of flavors between the hibiscus and rose hips when added to a soured beer. Jolly Pumpkin beers are always a treat and this one is right up there with their best; thanks Dude!

Blend 2 bottled 1/12/11
Pours cloudy pinkish red/brown liquid with at least three fingers of head. Head has decent retention and leaves only a small amount of lacing behind.
Smell is a quite floral up front, along with some nice funk. Smells include rose, cherries and strawberries and a bit of lemon as well. A bit of perfume.
Tartness hits the palate first, but is quickly balanced by a dry funkiness. Really nice. Taste is not as floral as the smell, but fruits are abundant, with cherries, some strawberry and grapefruit.
Mouthfeel is medium but crisp, finishing tart and dry.
This is a very enjoyable beer. Tart, but not overly so, nicely balanced with some dry earthiness.

750ml bottle, blend 7/8 bottled 2/3/11. Pours a clear light pinkish red with a huge rocky pinkish white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is slightly tart fruits and some floral notes with a bit of brett.
The flavor is a bit subdued - some tart acidic fruits, with some funk and a dry finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with sharp carbonation.
Overall, an interesting beer - very pink! I wish there was more to the flavor. A bit pricey too at $17.

Thanks to thirdeye11 for sharing this beer which has been on my want list.
The beer pours an orange-amber color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of citrus, pepper and some yeast - along with some tartness. The flavor is oranges, yeast, pepper, roses and flowers. There is a little bit of tartness, but it is not a sour beer. Medium mouthfeel and low carbonation.
A very nice saison.

On Tap
Churchill's Pub & Grille
San Marcos, CA
A surprisingly light pink colored pour, slightly hazy, with slight amber hues as well. Small off-white head that leaves nice stick down the glass.
The aroma is quite lovely, with a huge amount of floral (rose?) aroma, with some dark berries and citrus notes, along with a bit of earth and classic Jolly Pumpkin tartness/funk.
A lovely combination of floral and citrus notes, mild funk, rose petals, earth, and funky yeast character. This is a complex though incredibly drinkable saison.
Medium bodied with moderate-high carbonation.
I love it!

This beer looks amazing in it's glass full of texture with vibrant flowing head pink tinted with an ruby highlighted amber body (a bit hazed in a good way). Smells like a spicy floral Jolly Pumpkin saison, this one uses rose hips, rose petals and hibiscus...strikes down on the palate with a very dry flow of flowers and earthiness. I'm getting rose water with a light spice back end. Pleasant flavors present throughout the glass, a strong rose water aspect with other flowers, a tart wild fermentation is also playing it's cards. I enjoyed the entire glass from start to finish, simply enjoyable offering without hesitation I consider this great beer. Mouthfeel is full with rose water texture, minimal oily texture from the plant additions, effervescent carbonation flows fully throughout each sip, overall a nice complex medium bodied beer.

from notes.
Pours a bright auburn color with a huge bubbling white head. Fades to lots of sticky lacing on the glass.
Smells spicy and floral. Oak and green apples as well as a little bit of lemon and funk.
Tastes are only ever so slightly tart. Subtle apple flavor with the hibiscus certainly being noticeable.
Mouthfeel is light to medium with almost soda like carbonation.
Overall is really good. Different than other Saisons I've had but not in a bad way and still very enjoyable. A good first beer of the evening and great after mowing the lawn.

ST: 750 poured into a wine glass. Blend 6, brewed 1-27-2011.
A: Two-fingers of creamy white head sits on top of light, clear, amber, toffee brown.
S: Sour fruit, citrus, hops, banana, crispy sour dough bread.
T: Sour stony orange, lemon, with earthy bread tones and bright zingy citrus on the finish with herbal rose and left over bread crust.
M: Medium, but dry.
O: A very enjoyable beer that uses unusual ingredients well. The ingredients do not take over the beer, but the rose petals and hibiscus are present. The rose parts and hibiscus adds an enjoyable herbal note to the sour, earthy, citrus tone of the beer.

(Served in a chalice) Blend 4 Bottled 1-25-2011
A- This beer pours a dark slightly dense but clear body with microbubbles supporting a creamy foam that has a red hue to it and sticks to the glass after each sip. There is a sea of microbubbles that swirl around from the base.
S- The dry tart strawberry shortcake doll aroma with some dry rose petal notes in the finish. The cheese rind signature Jolly Pumpkin yeast character really comes through nicely.
T- The dry tart fruit hint has some hibiscus tartness in the finish and a nectar note. As the beer warms there is a lactic tartness that comes through in the finish aswell.
M- This beer has a light mouthfeel with a full fizz and no alcohol or astringency noticed.
O- The dry hibiscus blends with a beer that is not dry to give a nice contrast. This beer walks a fine line between a nice sessionable beer and a wild ale. It is almost astringent but not really and the yeast/funk character is just peaking through teasing.

This so-called red saison is definitely that, a bright but thick red-brown with some rosewood or cherry wood hues. It builds a solid frothy white head with lots of retention that leaves some patchy lacing.
The aroma brings out some soft berry notes, maybe a hint of sweet darker fruits but nothing tart, and a gentler sourness than I get from most J.P. offerings. It's very softly floral with a sort of woodiness to it that's more oak than earth.
This is a beer that strikes the balance between delicacy and flavor, getting both. The floral aspect is so gentle, easing in with a soft strawberry-like note while overtop lies gentle sourness and tartness with a light, gentle funk. The wood note is like beach, not as hard as oak but adding some flavor and a bit of depth. There's a bit of grape must toward the finish, where more delicate florals (think jasmine or lavender) come out.
This beer starts off dry but never very much so, it's just a part of the feel that goes from beginning to finish. There seem to be some tannins, though not in the way I'd feel them in a wine by any stretch. The feel is generally somewhat bubbly, as the carbonation adds a crispness but the smoothness doesn't show so much over the dryness and the "bubble," so to speak.

25.4 oz bottle split and poured into a snifter. Bottled 02-10-2012. Gusher.
A: Pours a hazy amber ruby with a giant puffy white head. Quite dense. Lots of visible carbonation. Head dissipates in the course of a few minutes leaving some nice lacing.
S: The rose really comes through on this brew and the wild yeast has kicked it up a few notches.
T: This is an enjoyable beer, really get the floral rose taste with the saison blend and a fairly intense sour taste. Adds a farmhouse dimension. Very different and quite tasty. I like the rose and brett compliment.
M: Lots of carbonation as shown with the appearance. Crisp finish that is pretty refreshing. Reminds me of a champagne on the tongue. So easy drinking.
Overall has the classic Jolly Pumpkin taste with their yeast strains but also a great rose petal addition. Very tasty and quite drinkable.

Actually poured two glasses of this: once into a regular pint glass, then into a tulip glass. Ruby color shows through. Big saison frothy head (very big in the tulip glass) which dissipates quickly (more slowly in the tulip, again).
Light funkiness in the aroma, a little bit of something sour in there as well, hard for me to get much of anything, even with the tulip glass funneling it up.
Nice sour bite right off the bat, rolling around the top of my mouth. The usual Jolly Pumpkin funk is there as well, but it has to fight the tartness to get through. I honestly expected more earthiness for a Jolly Pumpkin saison, but I do like the balance achieved here. (Some might say there's a conflict, as I mentioned earlier, but I'm gonna go with balance.)
Pretty dry finish, that pucker hangs around a little bit too.

October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. We asked teens to tell us who inspires them to stay away from illicit drugs. Here's what one teen said.
You probably haven't met my mother.
Or any of my teachers.
Or the friends I surround myself with.
And that's okay.
But you see, I've always grown up in a loving—albeit kind of tension-filled—household. I have a mother who's strict, but loving, and a father who drinks and sometimes forgets my birthday, but I can feel his unconditional love for me as well.
I've always been surrounded by words like "Don't become like your father" and "Don't do drugs, kid!" And at first, it just seems like "yeah, yeah, whatever." But when you have someone close to you abuse a substance like alcohol, everything just kind of clicks into perspective. I've grown up with an alcoholic father. I remember thinking, when I was little, that everyone had a father that got drunk every night and left the lights and TV on late and woke up with eyes bloodshot and rimmed-red.
This was my norm.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that, although I have an alcoholic father, I've never felt the pull of alcohol or drugs. Maybe it's been indoctrinated into me. Or maybe it's because of the people I've surrounded myself with and learned to trust with my issues: my teachers, my friends, and my mother. I see their lives and hear the stories about their misguided siblings or friends or parents, and I think, That's not who I want to become. I want to be like my mother, my teacher, my friends.
Maybe it's not always about you. Maybe it's about the people your heart decides to care about, about how they will be affected by your actions. Doing drugs is not a personal decision. It is a selfish one. So if you ever feel the urge, don't just think of yourself. Think of those around you.

During NIDA's 2013 Drug Facts Chat Day, several teens shared touching stories about friends who are struggling with drug abuse and asked how they can help.
Real Teen Stories
A teen from Croatan High School in North Carolina submitted:
Someone I'm close to has been smoking the past year. I haven't told anyone because I don't want it to affect him at home. I'm glad he hasn't done anything around me but I'm not sure what to do about it.
A teen from C.H.Yoe High School in Texas submitted:
I have a friend who is…just out of control. If he finds a pill…no matter what it is he will take it. I am trying to get him to alter his foolish ways. What do you suggest I do to help him?
Another teen from Croatan High School in North Carolina submitted:
My best friend of 7 years has smoked cigarettes, smoked marijuana, and tried other drugs since she was 11. She has dealt with social services, law enforcement, and was sent to a foster home for 3 months. She has been back home for a month and says she's going to change. I love her and don't want her to go back down the same road again, but she doesn't want to hear it when I talk to her about drugs. How can I help her?
Tips for Helping a Friend
It can be really upsetting and scary to have friends who are struggling with drug abuse and addiction. Here are some tips for helping them:
- Start by being a good friend, which you likely already are because you're concerned. As a good friend, you're someone who can be trusted to provide good advice and listen when your friend needs to talk.
- Educate yourself about drugs and alcohol and the problems they can cause. Then, you can give your friend the facts and refer your friend to resources to help him or her learn more. A good place to start is on the NIDA for Teens Web site. This site includes fact sheets about many different drugs and their effects.
- Next, encourage your friend to talk to an adult who he or she can trust—maybe a teacher, coach, or a parent of another friend. If your friend doesn't feel comfortable talking to a trusted adult but is ready to seek help, then you can check out treatment resources in your community (some are available just for teens). If your friend feels like he or she is in crisis, then he or she (or you) can call 1-800-273-TALK to talk confidentially to a professional who can help.
Has a friend ever leaned on you for help staying away from drugs or other problems? Tell us in comments what you did to help them, and let us know if you have other questions about dealing with tough stuff.
Let me introduce you to Taylor-a 17-year old, high school athlete from Plano, Texas. You might be a student-athlete yourself or have friends who are student athletes, so Taylor's story might speak especially to you.
Taylor took his own life on July 15, 2003, as a result of abusing steroids. With Taylor's death came the Taylor Hooton Foundation formed by his parents, family, and friends to honor his memory, after they became aware of the growing problem among high school athletes across the country. Not too long before Taylor's death, NIDA noticed a sharp increase in the use of steroids among male teens in the late 1990s (Monitoring the Future Survey, 2008).
Unfortunately, I never met Taylor—wish I had gotten the opportunity—but I have met his dad, Don Hooton. Don is the type of guy that many of us aspire to be. I've had the opportunity to work with him and the Taylor Hooton Foundation on behalf of NIDA. The picture to the right is us at a Nationals game in DC. I'm sitting with pitcher Garrett Mock (L) and center fielder Willie Harris (R) (Who said work can't be fun?) We've been working together with the goal of sharing Taylor's story and helping teens help one another.
In memory of Taylor, please share his story with a friend. With your help, we can prevent another tragedy.
Learn more about the science behind steroid use and how it can affect your body.

Have you ever felt like you couldn't make good decisions because none of your friends agreed? Well, you're definitely not alone. Take a look at these teens who wanted to be healthier and took a stand on teen alcohol and drug use by joining the Illinois Drug Education Alliance (IDEA)—no matter what their friends thought.
Even on Halloween, this group of teens ditched the typical party scene and got creative. They went trick-or-treating, but with a twist. Instead of asking for candy, they gave out brain-shaped stress balls and educated people on the harmful effects alcohol has on the teen brain.
"We all experience peer pressure, but not all peer pressure has to be negative. IDEA gives me a circle of friends who share my choice for a healthy lifestyle. Together, we encourage our peers to make smarter choices."
—IDEA Youth Board member
Student members of the IDEA team, known as the Youth Board, work together to positively influence healthy decision-making in their schools and in their communities. They want every teen to understand that underage drinking isn't the norm and that not everyone is doing it.
The Sara Bellum Blog had the opportunity to interview a few members of the IDEA Youth Board to get the 411 on their activities. You might be inspired by these ordinary teens who use their time in extraordinary ways.
Sara Bellum Blog (SBB): When was the Youth Board formed and why?
IDEA Youth Board (YB): IDEA was created in 1982 by a group of parents who quickly realized that the best way to reach teens is through other teens. At first, the board consisted of sons and daughters of IDEA members, but it quickly grew to include youth from all over Illinois who share a passion for the cause.
SBB: Who makes up the Youth Board and what led them to join?
IDEA YB: Most youth members are in high school, but some are in middle school. At our largest, we had 70 kids on the board! Usually we have between 20 and 30 members every year.
SBB: What are some of the main reasons youth join and stay on the board?
IDEA YB: Some of us get involved through the county; others through schools and friends. Many are leaders in their schools and communities. But we all share a common belief in what we do. That's why we have an Alumni Board. Some youth love it so much that they can't leave IDEA. They love to help us out however they can, even though they're in college and busy with work. Everyone at IDEA is very active and involved in our activities.
SBB: What advice can you offer to teens who feel alone when trying to make healthy lifestyle choices?
IDEA YB: We tell them that there are other groups of people and friends who are happy without turning to drugs or alcohol. That's who you want to hang out with.
SBB: How involved is the Youth Board in IDEA's events?
IDEA YB: Teens are a crucial part. We get together for regular meetings and brainstorm ideas. We are there throughout the entire process, from development to implementation. We love to see our ideas unfold into programs.
SBB: How can teens in other states get involved?
IDEA YB: We would love to work with youth and organizations in other states. Anyone can visit the Web site, see what we're doing, and fill out an application to join. Soon, we'll have toolkits available that anyone can use! We're always looking for youth who want to actively help and are passionate about the cause.
So, that's the scoop on the Illinois Drug Education Alliance. Check out their Web site!
Ever wonder how teens in other schools or parts of the country feel about drug abuse? Two teens recently told SBB about their real-life experiences with drugs and high school:
Mila, 16
Think of the two words: weed and cigarettes. What's the first thing that crosses your mind? Maybe it's addiction…but to a lonely teen who feels like an outcast from society, it might be something completely different. Maybe the first thing they think of is fitting in. In high school there are loads of different cliques, like the manly jocks, the nerds, that group of back-stabbing sassy girls. They're all unique, and so are the stoners. And to a lonely freshman, this is a whole new world, and they may feel left out. Which is probably terrifying, because not fitting in is the worst feeling in the world. Whether it's having no one to eat with at lunch, or not having a partner to do the assignment with in class.
If you take a closer look at the mind of that freshman, the only thing that he's going to be thinking about is having some friends, and how he can fit in with one of those cliques. However, he may not exactly fit anywhere, and now he may be feeling even worse than before. Maybe he'll turn to drugs, not because it's the cool thing to do but because he desperately wants to be part of something, and the stoner group is the easiest one to be a part of! But just because they're easy to be friends with doesn't mean that they are who you should hang with.
As brainless as this may sound, some teens will stop at nothing to be "popular." And this is exactly what happened to one of the kids at my school. He started out innocent and open, but now drugs are the only thing on his mind. He's not the same kid he was, and there's no way I can respect someone who did what he did, no matter how desperate he was. Drugs are never the answer to any of your problems.
Mike, 17
On the last day of the first week of school, my school had a back-to-school dance. Even though this year it seemed like it would be really dumb, some friends and I decided to go. Some other kids we knew decided to go, too, but said they were going to smoke beforehand. That plan seemed way too risky because our school was getting really serious about drugs and threatened to have police at the dance. They decided to do it anyway.
About 10 minutes into the dance, teachers started coming in and looking around, and we saw them pull someone we knew who was in the group that smoked. Then, another one of our friends got pulled out. Eventually, the school contacted all the parents of kids in the group that smoked before the dance.
Although the kids involved were able to avoid any legal charges, they were given a 2-week suspension and forced to go to drug counseling sessions until deemed ready to stop by their respective counselors. The ones on football were also kicked off the team for the season and had to apologize to their coaches. Two of them are still in trouble with their parents and lost their trust because of it. In the end, I really don't think the consequences were worth the 10 minutes they were able to have fun at the dance.
So maybe think about their situation and how it ended up for them the next time you want to do what they did.
One of the things I love most about music is its ability to transform tragedy into hope, as anyone who has listened obsessively to a "breakup song" knows. But, as artists like Bob Dylan, Marvin Gaye, Bob Marley, Joan Baez, and countless others have shown, songs can do more than comfort. They can change who we are as a culture and inspire us to work together to make the world a better place.
So, when I first met with a group of advanced music production students at the Media Arts Collaborative Charter School in Albuquerque, New Mexico, I knew I wanted to do more than just help the teens make an album of original music. I also wanted to help them make a difference in their community—to tap into the transformative power of music to heal, to comfort, and to open a window of hope.
A Life Lost to Addiction
The high school class of eight fledgling producers, songwriters, rappers, and musicians were all highly enthusiastic about the project. When considering issues to address, they reflected on the senseless 2010 death of a schoolmate, 16-year-old Haley Paternoster, of a heroin overdose. It turned out almost all of us had seen someone—a friend, a family member—destroyed by addiction, whether from heroin, prescription drugs like OxyContin, or alcohol. Haley's death offered us a tragic common bond.
The class decided to make an album of original hip-hop music focused on addiction, dedicated to Haley's memory. Her father, Steve Paternoster, a local restaurateur, talk show host, and philanthropist, talked to our class several times. His words were raw, real, and deeply moving. Other students, also touched by addiction, began sharing personal stories, allowing us to begin working through our losses and permitting us to dive in, fully aware and sensitive to how addiction can wreck lives.
Haley, We Miss You
It took just 2 weeks to complete the title track, "Haley, We Miss You." We pushed forward. It was very important to the students that we keep the message real, unlike many other antidrug education programs they had experienced in the school system. We wanted an album to be thoughtful and hard hitting while keeping in mind the many complexities surrounding the issue.
The students composed songs about the power of music, the apparent contradictions of the "war on drugs," and the hardships of growing up in the rougher parts of our hometown. They wrote about the dangers of prescription painkillers and how advertisers try to manipulate youth to buy their products. We looked at addiction as part of the larger context of the mental and emotional health of our community.
Jennifer Weiss of the Albuquerque Heroin Awareness Committee, whose son Cameron had overdosed after a long struggle with heroin addiction, approached us. Cameron was a poet and rapper who, before he died, had composed and partially recorded a song about his struggle, "A One Way Track To Hell." It was a haunting and powerful work that unknowingly foreshadowed Cameron's death; we accepted the challenge of completing the backing music and remixing the song to include in the album.
A CD for Every 8th Grader in Albuquerque
The album was just the first step. Our ultimate goal: to produce a CD for every 8th grader in Albuquerque. Prevention experts suggest that 8th graders are at the highest risk for experimenting with opioid painkillers, usually in the form of OxyContin, which was the case for Haley before switching to heroin. We felt the best approach was to try to reach out to kids at risk of using before they start.
Our label, "SoundOven," was created both as a musical identity and as the name for the organization we wanted to launch using music and film as media for positive social change. We knew we needed a budget for CD duplication, printing costs, and a music video. So, we started a crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo asking for help. The fundraising appeal has concluded, but you can still check out our pitch video.
We received an overwhelming response: in 90 days, we had raised more than $10,000. Haley's dad Steve was personally very generous, but we also got a big helping hand when the Albuquerque Journal did a front-page story on our campaign, subsequently picked up in local TV newscasts. In the end, more than 100 people from 5 countries contributed to our cause.
The Mission Continues
I could not be prouder of my students, Floyd Moya, Robert Serrano, Falon Cole, Ruben Valenzuela, Caelan Harris, Issac Leeman, Alex Wilson, Quinlan Spears, and Alex Torres. Their creativity, passion, and dedication makes me excited to get up every morning to do this work.
But the work is not yet done. We now have 2,000 copies of the finished CD to place into the hands of youth at risk for opioid addiction—which could really be anyone. We are coordinating with the heroin awareness committee and Albuquerque Public Schools substance abuse counselors, the culmination of our yearlong effort.

Rhonda started abusing drugs when she was 14 years old. She entered treatment for addiction when she was 19. Now at age 21, she has been drug free for almost 2 years, attends college, and enjoys time with her two children.
Can you guess what she says is the most important thing she learned during treatment and recovery?
Hint: It's related to how she looks at herself as a person and how she views mistakes.
Watch this video in support of National Recovery Month to find out what Rhonda learned during her recovery:

If you or someone you know is looking for drug abuse treatment, NIDA's guide, Seeking Drug Abuse Treatment: Know What To Ask can help you get started.
Tell us, what questions do you have about recovery?
October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. We asked teens to tell us who inspires them to stay away from illicit drugs. Here's what one teen said.
I know drugs tempt us every day. They're all around us. I am gonna tell you how I stay away from drugs.
How many of you have been influenced by a drug? Who influenced you? Your friend? Someone in your family? A stranger? Well, you're not the only one that has happened to.
Some people I used to be friends with do drugs, but just because they do drugs doesn't mean I have to. My grandma helps me stay strong and not get tempted. Even though my grandmother suffers from dementia today, she is still a role model to me. All her life, she was a hard worker and she is a smart woman. She always made sure everybody else was okay, never once thinking about herself. When I see me, I want to see her and all of her greatness in me. I want to be just like her once I grow up, and to do that I need to keep out of trouble.
When somebody offers you drugs, say no. Saying no is easier than you think. If you do drugs, you can end up in serious trouble. You can end up going to jail, or you can get in trouble with your parents or school. Just know what's right in your heart and you will have the ability to say no.
Hanging out with the right crowd can help you stay away from drugs. If your friends try tempting you, they're probably not good friends. Friends reflect who you are. I know I want to be held to high standards and with great respect.
Stay strong and don't let drugs enter your life. You are a strong person and you can say no.
9th grader Allyssa Garcia has been in choir since she was in kindergarten. She has always participated in school activities and clubs, and she loves to write.
October is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. We asked teens to tell us who inspires them to stay away from illicit drugs. Here's what one teen said.
It's hard to believe that a man I barely know and probably never will could affect me in such a way. Elliott Hulse is a strength coach on YouTube. He lives in Florida and has helped me grow stronger through his passionate videos and speeches. He took steroids at one point in his life, and many years later he is happy as can be. He taught me that throughout our lives, we are constantly reborn. He always uses his "steroid days" as an analogy for what he tries to convey in the present moment. He says that he first experienced rebirth after he stopped taking steroids. In hindsight, he killed off that character in himself that used enhancing drugs and thus attained a new outlook on life. He became experienced.
Experience is what we come to appreciate and look up to nowadays. Experience conveys to other people that you have been through a particular situation and know how to deal with it. I for one find that when a message comes from a reliable source, I am more likely to follow it.
Elliott Hulse is and continues to be my role model to this day. His experience allowed him to be reborn and bring new insight into other people's lives and creates a stepping stool for people so that they don't have to make the same mistakes. Alexandra K. Trenfor said it best: "The best teachers are those who show you where to look, but don't tell you what to see."
Instead of hammering into me that drugs are bad, my role model brightened a path for me and let me decide what I wanted to find. I'm Wahib Farooqui and I'm proud to say I am and will continue to be drug free.
Wahib Farooqui is an 11th grader at Hidden Valley High School and considers himself a young entrepreneur. "I will live a life that will make you smile, even when I'm done here and long gone." – Wahib's Philosophy

It seemed over from Claude Giroux's massive opening shift, when the Philadelphia Flyers stormed out to a 1-0 lead and showed they'd be setting the physical tone in Game 6. From that point on, it almost seemed as though the final 59 minutes of hockey were a formality as the Flyers cruised to victory, defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins 5-1 and advancing to the Eastern Conference Semifinals.
Pittsburgh entered the third period down 4-1, and when they put the puck behind Ilya Bryzgalov during a power play near the midpoint of the period, it seemed as though there was hope for the Pens. But upon review, the officials decided that Bryzgalov was pushed into his net and the goal was disallowed.
That seemed like the final nail in Pittsburgh's coffin, and from there, the Flyers used solid defense to dispatch their cross-state rivals. It was the complete opposite of much of the series, where the teams combined for more goals than we've ever seen in a Stanley Cup Playoff series. Philadelphia killed off four of five Pittsburgh power play attempts and, in total, the 40 blocked shots and the 30 saves from Bryzgalov were the difference in the game.
The Flyers are the first Eastern Conference team to advance to the semifinals. Their second-round opponent is still to be determined.

Skiing Park City Mountain Resort
To me, the base area at Park City Mountain Resort is like a big front porch - full of friendly people, neat restaurants and stores to buy most anything from clothes to candy. Early skiers arrive on buses like workers in the big city but these skiers are full of smiles and heading out to a sure day of fun in the sun.

Writing Workshops Expand at New SiteTuesday, May 31st, 2011
Blue Planet Writers' Room finally has home big enough to accommodate the writing workshops it's been holding at schools, community centers and other venues since its founding two years ago.
The non-profit organization uses art, technology and international collaborations to make learning how to write well fun. It's been focusing on school and after-school groups, but at its new digs at 439 Northwood Road in West Palm Beach, it plans to add student workshops open to the public and classes for adults. Adult classes in short story and memoir writing will begin in the fall.
In the meantime, the group is offering hour-long workshops for ages 8 to 18 at its new site. Choices include The Creature That Ate Palm Beach (write a story about the day monsters gobbled up the town and make monster masks), Pop Up! (write a story and showcase it in a pop-up book) and Write Now! (a weekly creative writing workshop for teens).
A free writing class for students entering fourth or fifth grades will start June 19 and run weekly for six weeks at the West Palm Beach library.
For information, call 837-9000 or visit http://www.blueplanetwriters.org/

R.I.P. Julia Brightly
Julia Brightly, who mixed Officer's Dead Unique at her home studio in 1995, passed away in the small hours of May 3, 2014, following a recent cancer diagnosis.
Born in London, Julia had returned there in 2013 after a decade-long stint in the States, and we were lucky enough to have her attend the mastering session for Dead Unique at Alchemy back in January, 2014.
A tirelessly active musician, producer, songwriter, painter, photographer and broadcaster, Julia was renowned first and foremost as a technician, with a formidable reputation for live sound mixing that saw her work closely with the likes of Mogwai, Wire, The Knife and Slint.
Our thoughts are naturally with the friends and family she leaves behind. Dead Unique, which finally sees the light of day next week after 18 years in limbo, is dedicated to her memory.

Visitors were in for a rude awakening this morning when an alleged drunk driver crashed into the parking lot of the Econo Lodge early Saturday morning.
Fire units and police responded to 622 Southeast 10th Avenue just after 5:30 a.m.
When they arrived they smelled the strong odor of natural gas and soon discovered that the car had hit a gas line as well as a power box, which knocked out electricity in the immediate area.
Responders went door-to-door at the motel to wake everyone up and tell them to evacuate.
About 15-20 people were cleared from the rooms, and 10th Avenue was closed while the gas company was called to the scene.
The road was reopened and people were allowed to go back into their rooms about three hours later.
The driver of the car, who was the lone occupant of the vehicle, was not injured. However he was arrested.
A Hillsboro Police spokesman said Samuel Montano-Service, age 20, is now facing charges that include DUII, criminal mischief and reckless driving.

A-Sun Champs! Eagles Clinch Second Regular Season Crown
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Senior Shannon Murphy (Brighton, Mich./Brighton HS) scored a game-high 21 points as the FGCU women's basketball team defeated Jacksonville, 64-59, in front of 1,806 fans on Tuesday night at Alico Arena to clinch their second Atlantic Sun regular season crown and earn their fourth consecutive WNIT bid.
With the win, the Blue and Green improve to 23-2 overall (16-2 A-Sun), extend their home winning streak, which is the third longest in the nation (behind UConn and Stanford), to 37 games and guarantee themselves a spot in postseason play, while the Dolphins fall to 13-15 overall (8-11 A-Sun).
FGCU clinched a share of the A-Sun regular season title with the win over JU, but with ETSU losing at Campbell, 60-57, the Eagles clinched the regular season crown outright. FGCU now owns a three-game lead with two games remaining in conference play.
The Blue and Green, who lead the nation in three-point field goals per game (10.7), knocked down eight triples on the night. JU's 59 points mark the 18th time the Eagles, who lead the conference in scoring defense (55.5 ppg), have held an opponent below 60 points this season.
Murphy finished with a team-high 21 points on 7-of 14 shooting from the field and 3-of-7 from long distance in 36 minutes of action. Redshirt-freshman Sarah Hansen (Edinboro, Pa./General McLane HS) registered 15 points, six rebounds, four assists, three blocks and a pair of steals. Junior Courtney Chihil (Tipp City, Ohio/Alter HS), who was in foul trouble all night, chipped in with eight points, six boards and two assists in just 14 minutes.
Taneske Richardson led the Dolphins with 21 points and 18 rebounds, while Ashanti Williams came off the bench to score 20 points.
Jacksonville opened the game on an 11-7 run, capped by a layup from Crystal Bell. The Eagles responded with a 16-2 spurt to grab their largest lead of the game (10 points), 23-13, with 8:24 left in the opening half.
A layup from Hansen gave the Blue and Green a 32-24 lead with just 37 second left in the opening stanza. The Dolphins answered Hansen's bucket when Williams banked in a trey ball with 14 seconds left on the game clock to cut the FGCU lead to five points (32-27). With the clock running down, junior Sarah Whitfield (Eugene, Ore./South Eugene HS/Lane CC) drove left and scored a layup as time expired to give the Eagles a 34-27 advantage heading into the locker room at the intermission.
JU was limited to just 10-of-35 (28.6 percent) shooting from the field and 1-of-3 from behind the arc in the first half.
FGCU hit 12-of-29 (41.4 percent) from the floor in the first half, including 4-of-15 (26.7 percent) from long distance.
Jacksonville opened the second half on a mission, as they outscored they Eagles 23-14 over the first 12:51 of the period to take a 50-48 lead. The Blue and Green, as they have all season at home, never wavered, as they employed a quick 14-5 run to regain their lead (62-55) with 1:46 left in regulation. The FGCU run was highlighted by eight points from Murphy and capped by a clutch trey ball from junior Kelsey Jacobson (Barnesville, Minn./Moorhead HS).
Jacksonville continued to fight as they had done all night, but the Eagles were able to hold the Dolphins off and pick up the 64-59 win.
The Blue and Green will return to the court on Saturday, Feb. 26 when they host the Ospreys of UNF (13-15 overall, 11-8 A-Sun) at Alico Arena. Tip off is set for 5:15 p.m.
The WNIT selection committee will announce the 64-team Postseason WNIT field late the evening of Monday, March 14, following the NCAA Tournament field announcement. The WNIT field will consist of 31 teams, including FGCU, that receive automatic berths and 33 teams that are awarded at-large berths. The first round of the WNIT scheduled for March 16-18.

In the 1980s, ecotourism—driven by a deep conservation and environmental ethic—focused on remote jungle lodges, nature treks, and the like.

At Traveler we observed this and felt a broader approach, around sustainable tourism, would…

Staff Report
The Commercial-News
---- — ST. JOSEPH — A traffic backup caused by a jackknifed tractor-trailer early Thursday morning on Interstate 74 contributed to another crash to happen shortly before 8 a.m. between St. Joseph and Ogden.
Illinois State Police said a tractor-trailer driven by 42-year-old Michael I. Lowery of Indianapolis hydroplaned, causing him to lose control and veer off the roadway and into the median.
The tractor-trailer jackknifed and crashed into the median, damaging approximately 340 feet of median cable. Lowery was cited for driving too fast for conditions.
Traffic was backed up shortly before 8 a.m. in the eastbound lanes of I-74 because the jackknifed truck was blocking one of the lanes, state police said.
A car driven by 34-year-old Hilary Edgerly, who works at the Veterans Affairs Illiana Health Care S was at a near stop behind a tractor-trailer driven by 44-year-old Kevin Hedden when an SUV driven by 42-year-old Nicole Gropp struck the back of Edgerly's car, causing Edgerly to rear end the tractor-trailer.
Gropp was cited with failure to reduce speed to avoid an accident and was taken to Carle Foundation Hospital in Urbana where she was treated and released.

Our installation is a little unique, stapled/glued directly to the ceiling, cut exactly to the walls and then caulked at the wall. We also painted all of the background surface and left the raised in white. Where the tiles meet, I routed a strip of wood to match the raised design on the tiles. I'll also be putting your tiles in my living area.

Customer Testimonial
I am very pleased with the Ceilume tiles. Your tiles replaced an existing 2x4 system that had become warped due to humidity over the years. The replaced tiles were a composite and were the type generally available in large home improvement stores. Ceilume tiles were first noticed on a Food Network show and your company came up in an Internet search. Your website was comprehensive and provided all the information necessary to make a decision. Your offer for the sample tiles made it very easy to make a decision regarding style. When the original ceiling was installed, a perimeter was constructed to account for irregularities in the dimensions of the room. (12' 9" wide) The room also has a bay window. This presented a problem. The old tiles were used as a template to cut the Ceilume tiles to fit these irregular spaces in the grid at the bay window. It took a lot of planning, time and it was tedious. The design I chose was not the easiest to work with. The tiles you offer for these irregular spaces would have made the room look unbalanced. However, the results were worth the effort. The installation of the tiles was unbelievably easy. The old composite tiles chipped and flaked during the initial installation and when they were removed. I took the opportunity to try latex paint on the samples. Again, the results amazed me. It was interesting to note that you now offer colors. Some of the tiles were damaged in transit and your customer service department was very accommodating. I would suggest that someone consider using bubble wrap or Styrofoam to protected the corners of the tile.

SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) - A man found dead on a Spokane sidewalk Tuesday died of exposure to the cold.
The body of 57-year-old Benjamin Payne was found near a snow bank in the 500 block of East Hoffman Avenue. An autopsy determined the cause of death was hypothermia.
Police told The Spokesman-Review (http://bit.ly/Wgaiqm) there were signs of trauma on the body and they're investigating whether the injuries were accidental or caused by an assault.

The Pirates of Silicon Valley
The TNT film, "The Pirates of Silicon Valley" was based on the history of Apple and Microsoft. Bill Gates, played by Anthony Michael Hall, displayed many autistic traits throughout the film. Some of the traits were: he was oftan seen rocking, and was paranoid about minor things. He didn't always show eye contact. There was one incident when he was in the car talking about how excercize may be bad for the human body. He was calculating things such as how many times the heart would beat in an entire lifetime, and while he was trying to figure it out, he got extremely upset and desprite to find the answer, and even pulled over the car to try to figure out the answer. I can relate to his behavior in this situation, because I oftan feel the need to answer to trivial math problems, even when there is nothing useful for the solution.
I don't know what the intentions of the writers of this TNT movie were. They may have known Bill Gates had these tendancies and wanted to make the movie accurate, but they may have been trying to make fun of him. I believe it is likely that they based it on speculation about Bill Gates being autistic on the Internet, such as this webpage, since many things in the film seemed to be taken directly from other sources like The Triumph of the Nerds Documentary and an A&E biography.
Arn't people looking for any little thing that could be autistic, which probably
exist in anyone?
I don't beleive they do. If you look hard enough, you may indeed find traits in anybody which can be interpretted as 'autistic'. However, I do beleive the traits I just described are actual autistic traits. I'm not 100% either one is autistic, but I still think there is a high chance they are. I find Einstein's autistic traits and evidence he had autism (not speaking until the age of four, having tantrums as a child, incidence of autism in the family, cerebrum being larger than average, etc.) are too striking to just be "autistic traits found in anybody".

It really hit me in the 1980s while living in
Documented or undocumented all three groups found themselves looking for work and housing. As a struggle for the rights of immigrants and against discrimination emerged, Haitians and Dominicans began to coalesce, but the Irish were a bit stand-offish. Immigrant rights activists were at first perplexed until they uncovered that the Irish were being encouraged by Irish American politicians to keep themselves separate from other immigrant groups because it was likely that a 'special' deal could be cut for them.
To put it another way, the Irish were being trained to become and accept becoming white.

Took Reflection out of Miami for a 7 night trip with my 85 year old mother in law in tow.
EMBARKATION: Dropped off wife, mother & bags in front of ship and parked in garage across the street (which turned out to be free with handicap info). They had elevators to take us up to ship level but we did have to push mom in her transport chair up & down some ramps to get on board. Everything went smoothly but we had a little confusion about the handicap entrance to the cruise terminal so look for signs or ask.
CABIN: Booked 1610, Aqua class and the cabin next door for mom. Did not have doors between rooms (sold out) but loved the fact that the balcony "wall" can be unlocked and folded back so we had one large balcony for our cabins. Sliding doors to balcony have a lock at the top of the door (didn't notice this for a few days so thought I'd point it out). Cabin was quiet and as expected but things are compact. The shower was so small we had to open the shower door to pick up the soap if dropped.
Note that although the rooms were close to the aft elevators, the passageway had an automatic sliding door between the elevator area & the cabins so it was very quiet.
AQUA CLASS: This is the only way I'll cruise Celebrity from now on and it has nothing to do with the Spa! Aqua class puts you in your own private restaurant for breakfast & dinner. "Blu" had about 25-30 tables but we never had a wait and after a few days the staff knew us well enough we didn't have to tell them how we liked our coffee. This, plus the fact the food was good and you were away from the throngs of folks in main dining, is why it is the only way to go!
SHIP: New & nice there wasn't much to not like about the ship. I will say that they kinda messed up the design for the common areas that are on many decks by the aft elevator area. Why would you have the "Library" open to the area below where the band plays? It was bad enough listening to the elevators dinging all the time. They really should have closed off the library, game room and computer areas.
I would also like to say that this is the first time ever that my wife has said she couldn't feel the ship moving. The size and new gadgets I guess. It was a very smooth ride in all conditions.
We did one specialty restaurant and I was very impressed with "Murano". I had one of the best meals of my life there so I must recommend it even though it's hard to pay an extra $40 each when "Blu" was quite good.
I would like to say I wish they didn't have so many places to eat that charge extra. The Lawn Club grill up top looked great but why keep paying extra when there are other good choices. Just open up everything and it would help spread out the passengers. I don't think I ever saw more than 10 people eating at the Lawn Club.

A simple Chantilly Creme can be added to many cakes and pastries, and it certainly beats artificial whipped toppings for flavor, elegance, and real food appeal. It's perfect, too, as a topping for the delicious local strawberries we have on sale this week!Visit the strongertogether.coop website to see a video showing how to make this recipe, sponsored by the cooperative of farmers at Organic Valley.
1 pint heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or scrape the inside of a single vanilla bean)
2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar
Add ice and water to a large mixing bowl.
Place a medium sized bowl inside the large bowl. Add cream and vanilla extract. Using a whisk or hand mixer, start beating the cream and then add confectioner's sugar. Whip until the mixture holds a stiff peak.
Serving Suggestion
Serve with fresh berries, fruit tarts, berry pies or chocolate cake and brownies.
Tip: If using a hand mixer rather than a whisk, start by beating the cream on slow speed. As the cream thickens you can start mixing faster.
