Collective Wellbeing Night Quenching Cream For Face with Astaxanthin & Jojoba - 2 oz. (57g)
Collective Well Being's Night Quenching Cream For Face is a scientifically advanced nighttime treatment that has high concentrations of two of nature's most powerful antioxidants to protect against free radicals and combat age signs. Radicals are like molecular hammers smashing away at our skin cells. Environmental stresses and the natural aging process generate free radicals—unstable oxygen molecules. Free radicals are like molecular hammers smashing away at our skin cells. Unless neutralized by antioxidants, wrinkles, fine lines and rough spots soon follow. Collective Wellbeing's Night Quenching Cream For Face combines two of the most powerful antioxidants to neutralize or "quench" free radicals: NDGA, an active phytocompound found in desert chaparral, and astaxanthin, an antioxidant isolated from tropical sea algae. Not found in together anywhere else, they are combined in Collective Wellbeing's Night Quenching Cream formula to create an antioxidant extraordinaire.
Collective Wellbeing believes that a better world begins with each of us every day.
Their daily work at Collective Wellbeing is to make highly innovative, safe and effective beauty products that work as promised. Collective Wellbeing's purpose is to enhance your wellbeing and to improve the world we live in. A beautiful world begins with you.
Collective Wellbeing's Story
Collective Wellbeing was founded in 2004 by Jack and Ellen Davies. After many years working in the beauty industry, the couple set out—idealistically--to create the perfect company. For them that meant making great products that consumers love to use, using natural materials in innovative ways, and setting a new level of social responsibility for an enterprise. After more than three years of development with some of the best dermatologists, microbiologists, green chemists and naturopaths, Collective Wellbeing was born.
While Collective Wellbeing is constantly evolving, they are proud of achieving these milestones:
Product Innovation: Collective Wellbeing continues to pioneer the use of innovative and effective natural materials like activated charcoal and super-antioxidants, such as astaxanthin, a biocompound from sea algae. Collective Wellbeing introduced the first all natural, paraben-free, propylene glycol-free, water-based personal lubricant. Collective Wellbeing is first company to have made its entire product range paraben-free. And Collective Wellbeing was the first to develop an effective acne treatment that has no benzoyl peroxide, hydrogen peroxide or artificial fragrance.
Product Efficacy: Collective Wellbeing products are safe, effective and a pleasure to use. They work as promised. In blind comparisons to competitor's products, people overwhelmingly choose Collective Wellbeing products. Collective Wellbeing's commitments to make products that are better for you and our world and to give back to the community will never vary, but Collective Wellbeing hopes to always surprise you with new and innovative ways of meeting these commitments.

|Technical notes:
The Geosciences Laser Altimetry System (GLAS) takes 40 measurements per second, or about 240,000 measurements per orbit. At 14 orbits per day with campaigns lasting up to 30 days, the sheer quantity of measurements makes the display of GLAS data in a virtual globe a fairly challenging task. This experiment, named the Visualization of ICESat Shots in Google Earth (VISGE), seeks ways to make massive numbers of point measurements available in a virtual globe without overloading the system.
For a 5x5 degree area around Anchorage, Alaska USA, NSIDC has created subsampled files for each campaign, allowing users to visualize the coverage of the orbits. The full data is only loaded once the user has zoomed in to a sufficiently small area. For each campaign, NSIDC has created 2500 0.1x0.1 degree bins. Each bin file contains up to 3500 placemarks representing a GLAS footprint and providing access to the waveform image for that measurement.
For more information on this project, see the Visualization of ICESat Shots in Google Earth (VISGE) Overview Web page. In order to aid in the future development of this tool, please share your feedback on the usability of this interface by taking the VISGE Usability and Feature Request Survey.

|Download a file of the MODIS Mosaic of Antarctica (KML, 4 KB)
|Technical notes: MOA provides a cloud-free view of
the ice sheet, ice shelves, and land surfaces at a grid scale of 125 m
and an estimated resolution of 150 m. All land areas south of 60°
S that are larger than a few hundred meters are included in the mosaic.
Also included are several persistent fast ice areas and grounded icebergs.
The MODIS data were acquired from November 2003 through February 2004.
To create the KML file, steps were taken to to resample the 16-bit 48333x41779 polar stereographic MOA image to an 8-bit 108000x27000 lat-lon image required by KML. The 16-bit gray level values of 15096 and 17283 were mapped linearly to 1 and 255, respectively, with 0 representing missing data. This is a "compromise" stretch so that both relatively high and low contrast features are visible. The image from this step was converted to a GeoTIFF and the GeoTIFF was then run through the Regionator.
Note that Antarctica appears surrounded by black ocean rather than blue ocean because missing MOA data having a value of 0 were not mapped to "transparent" before being run through the Regionator. We hope to fix this bug in a future version of the MOA KML.

Technical notes: This approach was a way of exploring how to most easily create a Google Earth file for our field data. We add such data sets to our catalog frequently, so coming up with a rule for identifying these data sets and adding them to the file would make it possible to somewhat automate maintenance of such a file. The resulting file is only a very limited part of our extensive data collection.

READING Ś The Reading Fightin Phils was announced as the new name of the Reading baseball franchise on Saturday afternoon by General Manager Scott Hunsicker. Along with the name, Hunsicker revealed the teamÆs new logo, uniform set, and identity program.
The new name of Fightin Phils pays homage to the teamÆs 46-year affiliation with the Philadelphia Phillies and references the big-league clubÆs nickname during the Whiz Kids era of the 1950s. Affectionately, the team will be referred to as the ōFightins.ö
ōOur relationship with the Phillies is stronger than ever and the Fightin Phils is a unique way to enhance our ties with Philadelphia even more,ö said Reading General Manager Scott Hunsicker. ōThe Fightin Phils reaffirms our bond with the Phillies in a creative, unique way.ö
The FightinsÆ new name is highlighted by an ostrich logo that symbolizes the feisty bird that is now indigenous to Reading because of the Crazy Hot Dog Vendor. With its fists ready for battle, the new ostrich logo represents the fighting spirit of the franchise, both on and off the field. It will be the first time in the franchiseÆs history that the team will feature an identifiable mascot. The logo is also the first in professional sports to feature an ostrich as its mascot.
ōWhen we decided to look at our franchise, we felt that we needed a mark the spoke to families since being a family destination has been paramount to our success,ö Hunsicker said. ōOur former mark didnÆt speak to those families and kidsŚsomething our new mark definitely does. Why an ostrich? Because if we were going to select an animal or creature, we wanted to pick something that spoke to the fun nature of a Fightin Phils baseball game.ö
In addition to the ostrich logo, Reading has rolled out unique symbols of an ōF-fistö logo, a historic feathered ōRö logo, and several feathered ōFightinsö and ōFightin Philsö wording reminiscent of the fun, flightless bird.
The Reading Fightin Phils identity set introduces Phillies Red, Nighttime Navy, Feather Gray, and Ostrich Flesh as the teamÆs new official colors.
At home, the team will wear an exact replica of the 1950 Whiz Kids cream-colored uniforms with Fightin Phils emblazoned across the chest. With the help of historians, the Fightin Phils will wear a faux-flannel uniform with pinstripes that recreate those worn by Richie Ashburn, Del Ennis, and former Reading Phillies skipper Andy Seminick. The Fightin Phils will wear either the navy cap with the feathered ōRö logo hat or the navy ostrich hat.
The team will also don an alternate navy jersey at home games with white inserts up the front of the jersey. White script displaying Fightins will read across the chest of this jersey. Fightins players will wear a separate navy cap with the ōF-Fistö logo when they wear the alternate jersey.
ōEven though most of our fans are Phillies fans, not all of them are,ö said Hunsicker. ōThe Fightins is an identity that allows those in Berks County and beyond to celebrate both the Phillies and the Reading franchise independently of the Phillies if they choose to do so.ö
The three navy home caps with three uniquely different logos on the front each are specifically designed to reach out to three different fan groups. With its cartoonish appearances, the ostrich cap is targeted toward the youthful at heart. The mighty ōF-Fistö hat is aimed at young adult to middle-aged fan. Harkening back to ReadingÆs past teams like the Indians and Red Sox, the feathered historic ōRö hat is tailored for the baseball fans that have supported Baseballtown for years.
The Fightins will honor the legacy of Baseballtown by wearing a gray faux-flannel uniform on the road, a first for a professional baseball team. The gray jersey will display the Baseballtown script across the chest with a patch of Bunbino on the sleeve. Fightins players will wear a iris blue cap featuring the Bunbino logo.
On the road and at select home games, players will have the option to wear black Baseballtown jerseys with blue inserts up the front. The black uniforms mirror the same jerseys worn by Eastern League All-Stars during the 2012Æs Baseballtown All-Star Classic. When at home, the team will wear an iris blue hat with a yellow ōBö; while on the road, the team will wear the Bunbino iris blue cap.
The completely different Baseballtown color scheme means that the team will also wear a slew of corresponding on-field wear. With both the home and Baseballtown color schemes, the Reading Fightin Phils will have the most on-field gear of any minor league team in history.
Fans can purchase new Fightins merchandise, including official game caps and replica jerseys, online at www.ReadingFightins.com.

Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said TE Chris Cooley is "feeling great" after an injury-plagued season in which persistent swelling in his left knee and a broken finger led to the least-productive output of Cooley's career. "The knee is feeling great. His weight is down," Shanahan said. "There's been no swelling, so hopefully he is full-speed once we get started with our OTA days (in May) and, you know, he can stay injury-free." Despite Shanahan's positive report, we hear that Cooley is far from a lock to make the final roster. First, he's due a $3.8 million salary in 2012 and is set to count for $6.3 million against the cap. Plus, the team has added reinforcements at the position behind Fred Davis — who broke out last season and earned the franchise tag — with Richard Quinn, who signed late last season after being cut by the Broncos, and converted WR Niles Paul, who has added 10 pounds to his former 224-pound frame after a rookie season that he spent mostly blocking as a wideout on offense.

I recently made this for a Hawaiian Luau. I have never heard of using an egg in a fruit dip so I was a little afraid but it was very good. And it was fluffly just like the name. Goes good with most any fruit and makes quit a big batch. I would definately make this again! Yum!

Swans boss Martini quits Walton & Hersham
6:44pm Monday 19th November 2012 in Sport By Stuart Amos
Ex-Walton & Hersham boss Chuck Martini has blammed a lack of backing from the club's board for his decision to quit Stompond Lane.
The Swans manager, sent to the stands during Satuday's 1-0 home defeat to Burgess Hill Town, stepped down on Monday with his side languishing in 16th place in Ryman Division One South table.
He said: "This is something that has been brewing for some time.
"Our budget is the fifth or sixth worst in the league. We were sat at the top of the table at one stage this season, but the lack of backing has meant we have been unable to keep up with that early pace.
"This is not a decision I wanted to make, but I came to the club with the goal of achieving something.
"Realistically that was not going to happen with a budget that is just about good enough to keep the team in this division.
"I have given it my best shot and believe I have achieved good results with limited resources and I thank the club for giving me the opportunity they gave me."

Brothers-in-law Kevin Scatuorchio and Bryan Sullivan formed Let's Go Stable in 2006. They offer partnerships that emphasize quality over quantity in their bid to win North America's most prestigious races. Their efforts have been richly rewarded as they prepare undefeated Verrazano for the 139th Kentucky Derby. Scatuorchio shared his insights with Tom Pedulla of America's Best Racing as the Run for the Roses draws near:
The story of Let's Go Stable and Verrazano is all about family. Bryan and I prove that some in-laws can get along. He and I became fast friends when he was dating my sister, Courtney. We grew even closer after they were married. He was working for a hedge fund on Wall Street. I was considering a career on Wall Street, but the job market was very uncertain at that time.
We both fell in love with racing through my father, Jim, who played the game at the highest level with top horses such as More Than Ready, English Channel and Scat Daddy. It provided us with a vision for what could be accomplished and we decided we would do everything possible to turn that vision into reality.
We used the example of my father to show how financially rewarding the game can be. And when you tell potential investors that Todd Pletcher and his father, J.J., will lead the selection process when it comes to purchasing Thoroughbreds who have the pedigrees to win the most important races in the world, that can be hard to resist.
The purchase of Verrazano for $250,000 in the 2011 Keeneland September yearling sale also was about family. He is a son of More Than Ready. He is a half-brother to El Padrino, who got us to the Derby last year. Although Verrazano's demeanor was more laid back than what we like to see and others looked more the part at that young age, his bloodlines were very persuasive for us. We were prepared to go much higher than $250,000 if we had to.
At that figure, he proved to be a wonderful bargain.

Aaron Rodgers scheduled, then scratched from conference call
By Brian Biggane
Perhaps the Aaron Rodgers injury is as bad as first feared.
After announcing early Wednesday that the Packers had scheduled quarterback Aaron Rodgers to participate in Wednesday's conference call with the South Florida media, the Packers informed the Dolphins that Rodgers won't be available for the call this afternoon.
Rodgers suffered a concussion in Sunday's game against Washington and is likely to be a game-time decision when the Packers face Miami this Sunday.
Also unavailable due to his uncertain status is linebacker Clay Matthews, who suffered a hamstring injury in that game and did not play in the second half. Appearing on the call will be veteran wide receiver Donald Driver.
We'll also be getting Packers coach Mike McCarthy today, so we should have more on the situation from him. The Packers will also release their first injury report of the week later today.
Meanwhile, news was all positive in the 30-minute portion of the Dolphins' morning workout that was open to the media. OT Jake Long, OG John Jerry, ILB Channing Crowder and DE Jared Odrick all participated, though Pat McQuistan remained ahead of Jerry with the first unit at right guard. Coach Tony Sparano said last week it was going to be difficult to reintegrate Jerry and Odrick back into action because he has no history of their recuperation times from injury and illness.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. (AP) - Two Winston-Salem police officers have shot and wounded a suspect after a confrontation.
Police said an officer stopped a car shortly before 1 a.m. Friday and there was a confrontation and the officer fired at the suspect.
Police say the car driven by 32-year-old James Edward Plater drove away and toward another officer also fired at the car. The car then struck a building.
Edwards was taken to Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center, where he was in serious condition.
Police did not say how many times Edwards was shot or how many shots were fired.
A passenger in the car was treated and released from the hospital for a gunshot wound.

I have an HP 6475B with A10 CPU.
I used Linux Fedora 18, and recently updated to Fedora 19 (X64).
Everything works beautifully, and quickly !
With Fedora 19, you have to install the Broadcom drivers after install.
Other than that, the touch-pad driver works well, but unlike Windows 7, does not allow to be disabled by double tapping on the notepad G spot.
Skype works well (better than Windows).
The Brother Printer did not work out of the box, but a reinstall of the driver (one click-install!) from the Brother web site fixed that !
My external USB HP speakers work perfectly.
Bluetooth connection with smart phone work.
I would say this is a superb Linux, with a superb hardware.
Andre Gompel.

Uhm... students will blow more than $39 on one night of drinking and partying. And they do it a lot more than once per month.
I WISH I could spend over $100 a month on going out alone (since you're insinuating it's $39 a few times). That's over $800 a year aside from food costs, general living costs, school, ect.
$40 per student per month is very costly.
Did you hear these turkeys on MacWorld podcast congratulating themselves that STUDENTS only have to pay $39 per month for their software?
Now we know, all the design students are going to have to become strippers just to pay for their software.

Dig that hole deeper, Adobe!
I asked him why he didn't go for Creative Cloud, and he said he wanted to 'own' his software and update when it suited him. I get it. In work I use CS5 but at home I have my own, fully legal, copy of CS3. There is nothing new in CS5 I need so I stick with CS3 at home, and most likely will do until a version of OS X comes along that breaks CS3. However, I'm on that upgrade path.
(Let me be clear here and say I'm referring to Design Premium in this post. I don't have any knowledge on the video side of things)
Adobe have a couple of battles on their hands:
[*]The Necessity to Upgrade
Unless you use Photoshop or Illustrator, the two flagship products, or maybe InDesign, you probably don't need a new version except for compatibility with other users. The updates are checklists of features dreamed up by marketing that make no difference to most people day to day. Maybe from CS2 to CS6, you'd see a big difference, but otherwise? Meh.
For non-print designers, Adobe's software is rapidly becoming replaceable: I'm a web designer and I haven't used Dreamweaver in years. Between Espresso, Coda, TextMate or whatever HTML editor you use, there's not much reason to. I switched to skEdit 3 years ago and haven't looked back; I just completed a 12-month long site build and never dropped into Flash once; Sketch 2 from Bohemian Coding looks to be on the cusp of being a great Fireworks replacement; since I don't particularly use Photoshop, something like Pixelmator might well suffice for me.
In short, most people don't need Adobe products at every release
Even those who do keep up to date don't buy every version. Most design studios I've worked at leapfrog: CS1, then 3, then 5. They just won't put out $900 per seat every 18 months. So adobe introduced the .5 release: rather than CS4, then CS5 18 months later, they decided to have a .5 release every 12 months, giving 2 years between full versions. Then they broke compatibility to force upgrades: a group of users at my current workplace received InDesign CS5 but six months later, a new batch were added and they received 5.5. Apparently to normal 5 was no longer available. That wouldn't be a problem if InDesign CS5 could receive copy from InCopy CS5.5, but they're incompatible, so everybody with InDesign CS5 now has to be upgraded.
It seems Creative Cloud solves both these problems: at $30 a month, even if you don't need the latest version, why not get it and benefit from things like bug fixes, which Adobe prefers to roll into their version upgrades, rather than fixing the one you paid them for? The same goes for leapfroggers: everybody can be on the latest version at all time so no more incompatibility! Also, Adobe get a guaranteed $600 income per seat, so their financials are more predictable now people aren't leapfrogging or buying when they're forced to!
So we all win, right? Maybe not.
That upgrade path may well be going away. In this article at John Nack's site (http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2012/04/adobe-creative-cloud-nicely-encapsulated.html), he quotes an article on Creative Cloud:
You're always entitled to the newest version of all the programs, and Adobe says that it's going to start rolling out features continuously rather than waiting for sweeping upgrades every couple of years.
Sound interesting? There are two possible outcomes here:
[*]There will be no upgrades to upgrade to after CS6. Unless you're on Creative Cloud, you are stuck with it as it is right now, bugs and all.
[*]If updates are continuous, maybe they humour you a few years longer by taking, say, the previous 18 months' updates, calling them CS7 and taking $900 off you.
Maybe they'll make CS7, but my guess is we're 2 years away from Creative Cloud being the only choice. Maybe my friend's 'upgrade path' is simply a way for him to 'own' the final, boxed release of the software he needs, and then he'll wind up paying for a subscription anyway.
I guess what I'm saying here is think carefully about Creative Cloud and how you buy into CS6. It may well determine the choices we have available to us in 18 months time.
Me? I'll keep using FW CS3 till Sketch can replace it, and boot up PS CS3 as I need it, maybe even buy Pixelmator since I don't do CMYK. InDesign CS3 will be fine for the odd page layout I do these days. For a second, the low price of Creative Cloud looked really enticing, then I remembered exactly how much of the Creative Suite actually use these days :D
Adobe's improvements are small, the updated prices are stupid high. Time from us to stop using their upgrades.
Uhm... students will blow more than $39 on one night of drinking and partying. And they do it a lot more than once per month.
Wrong. You watch too many movies.
Sorry Adobe... take your bloatware and go away.
Why can't they just get Apps with all files in it and maybe just one support folder in the main Library.

The rush-hour traffic is merciless outside my office window and twelve stories down. I should be out there right now, creeping along with the rest of the sluggish vehicles and honking horns headed toward home. My wife, Anne, probably has dinner in the stove right now; Helen is undoubtedly curled up with a book on her bed; and Timothy should be getting back from baseball practice. And I should be driving home to join them.
But I'm not. All my papers are packed into my briefcase and my computer is off, but my mind is in a different time and place. I glance at the clock; the dial flashes five o' two. Five years ago today, and just about this time, I discovered the importance of love. Heather taught me; sweet, precious Heather who was my oldest daughter until five years ago.
She had always been the carefree, joyful child, constantly laughing and smiling and doing everything possible to make everybody else's life a little bit easier. She never asked for anything or longed for the things other girls had, but was content with life. The only gift she had ever desired was to ride a white stallion. Ever since reading one of Marguerite Henry's novels in the third grade, her most treasured dream was to ride a white steed. Heather insisted that he didn't have to be beautiful or well-trained; he only had to be pure white. She was sure that someday she would get her wish, regardless of the fact that San Francisco isn't the best place to find a horse, let alone a white stallion.
I am now ashamed to admit that I never took her desire seriously. I was entirely absorbed in my lawsuits and honestly saw no particular reason for trying to fulfill a dream that wouldn't have any true value. Everything was dollars and cents to me, and a single expensive ride on a filthy animal didn't seem to fit the budget. I have often regretted that decision.
When she was fifteen, Heather was diagnosed with cancer. At first, panic shook the entire household, but Heather's calmness and demure acceptance of the treatments seemed to soothe the whole family. Heather was too angelic and loved to die; we were sure that she would overcome the cancer. Our insistent hope blinded us. We were oblivious to Heather's declining state of health, until another test revealed the vast extent of the cancer. The doctors gave Heather four months to live.
I was shocked to say the least. As a lawyer, I despised losing my case to the opponent. As a father, I couldn't bear to see my daughter's life vanquished by an insurmountable opponent. But it was happening right before my very eyes. Frustrated, heart-broken, and confused, I threw myself into my work with more vehemence than ever, frightened to stay home with a saddened family and a pale, dying but still bravely cheerful child. I now know that my actions were cowardly and that I was running away from my fears and foes. Ignoring the fact that my family needed support and love, I chose instead to be at a place where I could engross myself in a battle I could actually win, regardless of the fact that I was deserting the real war.
One late summer evening, as I was studying briefs in the living room, Heather came to me. Her thin, frail body and prominent cheekbones spoke only too clearly of her suffering, but her eyes shone with a radiance and courage I couldn't bear.
She stopped beside my chair, gently fingering the worn edges of a coffee table. "Dad?" she asked.
"Mmm?" I replied without looking up from my papers.
"I need to ask you something."
"Go ahead."
I saw her shift her weight and take a deep breath. "I want to ride a white stallion."
I looked up at her, wondering why she had never forgotten this one, ridiculous dream.
"Please," she begged, "could you try?"
It was the first time I had ever seen her look desperate. Her white hands were clutched before her and her eyes peered at me with a burning insistence. I fiddled with my papers and swallowed hard. "I'll try," I answered.
Heather smiled and relaxed before throwing her bony arms about my neck. "Thank you, Dad," she whispered.
Maybe I still didn't want to admit that my daughter was leaving me. Maybe a part of me was still resolutely holding to the idea of dollars and cents. Either way, I didn't try to find a white stallion. And four days later, I lost my chance when Heather was placed in the intensive care unit.
One look at her ashen features and shallow breathing told me the truth. In the dim room, alone except for my daughter, I shed tears of remorse, pain, and despair. I regretted all the time I had ever spent after hours at the office; I regretted avoiding Heather and the rest of my family over those past months; I regretted not facing my fears. More than anything else, I regretted not trying to make one simple dream come true for my own daughter.
Now, it was too late.
As I stood by her bedside, cradling her cold, limp hand, I wished with all my heart that I had thought about my family before myself.
"Dad?" Heather's broken voice called.
"I'm here, darling," I assured her, bending close to her face.
Her eyes fluttered open, but they were glazed and stared past me into some distant place I couldn't see. She blinked quickly, as if straining to see something, and then weakly gripped my hand. "Oh, Dad," she gasped. "He's beautiful."
"Who is?" I asked.
"The white stallion. Oh Dad, can't you see him?" A note of ecstasy had crept into her voice as she gazed at something beyond the confinement of human sight. I knew that I was forever losing her.
"I see him," I choked.
"He's so gorgeous," Heather murmured, closing her eyes in pleasure. Her body relaxed and she smiled peacefully at her waiting mount. "He's nodding his head at me. He wants me to ride him." Her eyes opened and turned to me. Her eyes focused on mine. "Can I go, Dad?"
In that instant, I felt as if the entire world had stopped turning and my heart had stopped beating. The time had come to let go. But could I? Could I honestly relinquish this daughter that I loved so much, this beautiful young lady who might have grown into a charming woman? I stared into her pleading blue eyes. I realized that I couldn't refuse her again. For once in my life, I would put my daughter's desires before my own.
"Heather, you may go," I said. She smiled joyfully, and closed her eyes for the last time.
Now, as I come out of my reverie, I glance at the clock again. Only a few minutes have passed, but I know I need to hurry so I can take the family to Heather's grave tonight. I grab my luggage and head out the door. I don't want the night to end sadly, so I'll make sure we go out for ice cream afterwards. I need to study for a case I have next week, but there will be plenty of time for that. I just need to remember that Timothy has a ball game on Thursday and Helen wants me to help her make a cake for Mom's birthday on Friday. And of course I'll take Anne out for a special date on Saturday. I clamber into my Buick and make a mental note to let Timothy practice driving tomorrow. He needs to earn some hours for his driver's license. And then we have family game night on Friday and church on Sunday.… I chuckle as I turn the key. The list goes on and on.
As I pull out of the driveway, a swinging motion near my rear view mirror catches my eye. The dangling figurine of a rearing white horse with a girl on his back makes me smile.
There are numerous white stallions in this world. We just need to make the time to find them.

12 oz. bottle pours an amber reddish hue with a two finger white head. Has a sweet caramel and floral hop smell. Medium bodied with a light carbonation. The taste is a faintly sweet caramel which is quickly pushed aside by a tart, hop and alcohol bitterness.
This brew tastes more like a Barleywine now than a Ipa . Not nearly as hoppy as it was two years ago when it was " fresh ".

Boxed in a wooded case. 750 ml brown magnum, no freshness date but it states that is a 2002 vintage on the label.
Appearance: Thin lacing that looks like battered soap suds … it at least sticks to the glass. Rustic reddish amber with a thick hazing.
Smell: Fruity with suggestions of vine ripe red grapes, plump peaches and tangerines. Faint woody aroma, ghost like vanilla and a thin wall of veggie hop.
Taste & Mouthfeel: Slick and creamy with a low amount of carbonation that provides no crispness. Thick medium body with a solid malt backing. Sweetness upfront of a fresh grain sweetness, almost of unfermented beer. A bulky hop presence slaps down an iron fist of flavour and an after sting of bitterness. Hops virtually take over from there only letting shades of yeast and fruitiness through. Some puckering woodiness from middle to end add a good measure of depth. Finishes with more hoppy and woody tones.
Drinkability & Notes: Some question that this is a Barleywine being that it is printed on other labels, I see this as a recreation of dead style … the real IPA. Aged in wood and touting a 10% abv. OUCH! The lack of carbonation was the only and biggest problem, other than that it was a wonderful brew.

Not a huge amount of head. The initial head dies down and you are left with just enough head to keep the beer tasting good. The aroma is a very citrus hop smell with a light hint of maltyness. The initial taste is light with some sweetness which quickly goes away. A strong heavy taste begins to form as the hops begin to take over in your mouth, leaving you with a bitter and robust taste. The overall appearance is pretty dark for an IPA with a red hint to it.
This beer is a barley wine style IPA with lots of hops (400 lbs/1000 barrels) added to it.
Not bad, not bad at all....

As it sets in the glass, a obscure copper color, the head modest in size, the texture frothy, the color a light tan and it dissipates rather quickly leaving a patchy bit of lace upon the glass. Ah the sweet smell of malt, hops, and to me a bit of butterscotch also present, fresh and inviting is the nose. Ambrosial start, the top middling in its feel, the finish is minimally carbonated, the hops explode on the palate like a fourth of July sky rocket, dry as a desert bone aftertaste and quite a pleasant beer to quaff and one I think most Hop Heads will enjoy.

Pours nice amber that leans more toward brown since it's lacks the yellowish/orangish tints that make a true amber. The head was really hard to find no matter how hard I poured but doesn't really taste flat. The aroma is fairly sweet and lacks the hop presence you'd expect from a beer with this much hops in it. I occassionally catch slight whiffs of alcohol, but it's really wel covered. In the flavor the hops come out. The create a nice tongue tingle, don't have much of a citric character. More pine sap, but not overwhelmingly so. It's more just a big bitter that's a bit harsh. There is a nice malt under there, really good cookie dough stuff that struggles to hold it's own under the hop assault but only barely keeps its head above water. This is well brewed but unbalanced and would perhaps benefit from aging like the barley wine it claims to be on the back of its label.

2002 Vintage
This beer feels like a work in progress. Pretty good all around, but still missing something. The beer is caramel/amber in color with a slight head that is destroyed quickly by the alcohol. Body if free from any chill haze. The aroma is a combination vinous alcohol qualities with an English style dry-hopped aroma. Woody with slight oak notes. The taste is very murky: soft caramel and sweet berry flavors, followed by dry oak and spicy pine hop flavors. Finish is alcohol with a port wine like warmth. The body is slightly chewy but not cloying. This ale is a contemplation beer -- one that would be perfect in front of a roaring fireplace in midwinter.

Well, the bottle states that 400 lbs. of hops were used for the limited release of 100-barrels that were conditioned in oak casks.
Needless to say that there is a very strong hop presence in all aspects of the senses associated with beer drinking. The color of the beer is a transloucent amber. Not much head and not much lace to etch the sides of the glass. Decent beer, although, it only comes in 12 oz. bottles.

Orange brown color. Medium head. Aroma is sweet and fruity with a touch oak. A full bodied Imperial IPA/barley wine /American Strong Ale. Malts are nutty and somewhat sweet. Hops are grapefruity, piney and spicy. A big very hoppy beer. Touch of oak and fruit. This beer is hop dominate, there is no attempt to even try to balance the malts. The hops balance each other out, but there is no attempt to meet the malts. Hides the 10% alcohol very well. Finish is nicely oaky. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean, crisp and oaky. Aftertaste is bitter, with a touch of alcohol bite.

When a huge stack of this showed up at John's Marketplace, and I got excited. I got a bottle for my pop-in-law as part of a big x-mas gift basket. I hadn't heard back from him how it was, so I decided to investigate. John's still had a stack.
The color, smell, and taste of it is very similar to a british bitter, maybe even an ESB. The head disipated quickly, and a dark amber liquid with a slight white ring around the glass remained. The smell was somewhat orange peely rather than the normal citrusy of a strong IPA. I should mention that I really liked this beer. It made my saliva glands run, and that's a good standard....
...ok, now that I'm most of the way through this beer, which is quite imperial at 10%, my opinion of it has become slightly more favorable. I'll stand by my initial ratings though.

Appearance: a dark, plummish brown color, and a slight, but solid cream-colored head.
"Imperial" IPA, that doubles as a barleywine, eh? Obviously the Imperialism reflects high alcohol, and that alone should catapult it into barleywine status, if I'm following their thoughts. With this strength, this hoppiness, and this flavor, it does!
Aroma: Fantastic! A buzzing hornet's nest of hoppiness! Every kind of fruit is set ablaze and swolders away in this astounding nose. Dark cherries, berries, grapes, more, unfolding, showing more alcohol, resembling port wine, dark and leathery, fierce, peppery, stinging, occupying every sense orifice, and becoming akin to taking a deep inhalation of cognac.
Hops dominate the mouth on first sip, slowly commanding the senses. Alcohol pretty much takes control, and steers the outcome of every consumption from here on in. Malt does it's part, too, but the hops, and the booze, never stop!
I'm spinning already, under this influence!
Perfectly tasty, lip-smacking texture! Very sweet, delicious, full-flavored!
Under more ideal circumstances, controlled laboratory tests, perhaps a more thoughtful or scientific discernment might result, but, alas, this was not my first taste of brew of the night, and I feel like I'm getting a triple whammy out of this bad boy! A small 12 0z. bottle, but a well-affected, and remembered, experience.
As tasty as I like my barleywines, much stronger than my favorite IPAs, oh, so over the top, but exquisitely created!
Good job, Deschutes, keep it up!

VALATIE, N.Y. -- For two and a half years, social studies teacher Mrs. Marrata has helped her 8th graders raise money and plan for a 5-day trip to the nation's capital.
"The things we planned to do are special prov. Our congressmen arranged for us," says Marotta, a teacher at Ichabod Crane Middle School.
Congressmen Chris Gibson has welcomed Marrata's students to the house floor before the capitol opens -- an opportunity she says her students may never get again. The trip they planned also includes visiting other national sites.
"Seeing where the president delivers state of union address and seeing kids' faces light up where they are sitting in congress members seats, it's pretty impressive," says Principal Tim Farley.
But when the government shut down, so did some of those sites.
"We have a plan which is our trip, and plan b in case it's still shut down," Marotta says.
The 121 8th graders who were excited to see history come alive thought their planning had gone to waste when lawmakers couldn't come to an agreement.
"Their biggest concern is after all this planning excitement and anticipation that they still had the opportunity to go," Marotta says. "We are going to go to some of the other museums in DC."
But she knows it won't be the same.
"Unless they run for congress, they'll never have the opportunity to be there have that experience," she said.
Now Marrata says all they can do is stay optimistic and have a plan b in place.

Creative Puts X-Fi Drivers under GPL
It might have been in an inconspicuous place on their Forums page where Creative Labs announced a new version of the Linux drivers for the Sound Blaster X-Fi and X-Fi Titanium series, but for owners of these sound cards, this news created somewhat of a sensation. The source code is not only readily available, but it's licensed under GPL v2.
As some forum responses can attest to, the drivers are not without some oopses. Nevertheless, chances are good that the drivers will find their way into the Advanced Linux Sound Architecture (ALSA) project.
The drama surrounding the X-Fi drivers goes back to 2006 when Creative Labs promised Linux drivers with ALSA and their own OpenAL 1.1 API and environmental audio extensions (EAX) by the first quarter 2007. By May 2007 this promise was reduced to a whisper in view of the Windows Vista pendants release; the X-Fi cards would remain silent until September 2007. The Sound Blaster people then finally released an early version of their drivers as binaries, which unfortunately ran on 64-bit Linux only and had numerous bugs. Since no hardware documentation was at hand, ALSA developers couldn't provide any immediate help.
February 2008, the Creative folks gave 4Front Technologies a peek at parts of their sources and documentation, thereby allowing them to develop drivers for their Open Sound System (OSS). But even these drivers were less than perfect. In April Creative released a new binary beta driver, again missing many of the originally promised functions. It took the company yet another half year to release the XFiDr 1.00, which runs on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems and supports the sound cards listed on the Forums page.

text: The Missoula Sports Commission held a press conference Tuesday afternoon to talk about many things, including MHSA events and other tournaments the group has hosted in Missoula...but the one item that had most people curious, was about football."There's been a lot of talk, a lot of information going out about the potential University of Montana and Montana State University hosting an all-class Montana High School Association football championship. hat process is in the exploration stages right now," announced Adams Center Executive Director Brad Murphy.While there is a long way to go, the hope is to have UM and MSU alternate hosting the all-class football championship (opposite wherever the Brawl of the Wild game is playing), but organizers say it's about more than just football."We have beautiful facilities that can be utilized, but there are so many other wonderful things in Missoula, that a lot of these smaller cities who come from across the state can take advantage of while they're here, like shopping, our art galleries, and our downtown," says Mary Holmes with Destination MissoulaWhile there are those who oppose a neutral site game, Murphy says the response so far has been positive."What I hear is, 'why did it take so long? Why haven't we been doing this for a long time?' that's what I'm hearing from the general public. There is a lot of buzz about this right now, and a lot of excitement about it, so I think the community overall in the state of Montana is really looking for something like this," says Murphy.And for sports fans, it doesn't get much better."You can see five games in two days. What a spectacular thing that is," says Murphy.One concern that has been expressed by fans is the cost of travel, believing schools could lose money, which Adams says they hope to solve"There are economics of scale there that we can reduce, but also we have the funding mechanism with the TBID that we can kick back a lot to the schools," The Destination Missoula Sports Commission is working with Montana State and the Montana High School Activities association, while try to put together a more formal bid for the state football championships," says Murphy.
