A stunner. Deep purple color, rich berry on the nose. Layered fruit with a hint of smokiness on the finish. Compulsively drinkable.
A great bargain! Very vibrant and fresh with hints of cherry, smoke and roasted herbs on the nose. The palate is velvety at first and firms up on the mid-palate and finish; leaving a lingering finish of plum and dark chocolate. I'm obviously a fan of Roussillon blends, and this one hits the spot.
From its appearance in the glass to its silky finish, this wine exudes sophistication. I saw it as more deep red than purple with a subtle but expressive nose (I agree there were hints of cherry and roasted herbs, with plum flavors). The wine has a classical restraint and so seems a bit reticent at first but opens up into a delightful and satisfying, complex series of sensations, growing almost sweet with the fruit at the end, which trails off into a most agreeable finish. There are no unresolved tannins so drink it now. We are told this is 60% Grenache, 35% Syrah and the rest Carignan and Mourvedre, barrel-aged for more than 24 months. The label comments on its "plenitude and onctuousity [sic]." (I think they meant unctuousness.) It has a lot of slender "legs" sliding down from a sheet of glycerine but there is none of the cloying quality one sometimes gets with a Merlot, say. This is a medium-bodied, balanced and finely-tuned wine, of surpassing elegance and finesse, without being precious. It is definitely a deal at $23.99. Pardon me for raving further, but it puts me in mind of a middle Beethoven quartet - say Op. 59, No.2, played by the Takacs String Quartet.
External Reviews for Hecht & Bannier Côtes du Roussillon Villages
The Hecht & Bannier 2005 Cotes du Roussillon Villages is 70% Grenache, with small components of Carignan, Syrah and Mourvedre, and was sourced from a variety of communes. If you don't claim to smell crushed stone or the pungent scrub of arid Catalan France in the nose of this wine, then you never will. In addition, intense blackberry and cassis as well as roasted game strongly suggest themselves. With a striking combination of creaminess of texture with insistent pungency and brightness - herbs, black pepper, crushed stone, and smoke all seem to make tactile contributions - this reaches every corner of the palate, then lays down a black-top of tar, cassis, herbal concentrate, and stones for a finish. It should be worth following for at least 2-3 years.
Gregory Hecht and Francois Bannier's highly-promising young negotiant operation will include wines from Roussillon as well as the Languedoc (for which, please consult coverage earlier in this report). Their 2003 Cotes du Roussillon Villages (from Grenache and Carignan with a bit of Syrah and Mourvedre) represents a selection for the best half dozen districts and soils of Roussillon, matured mostly in larger-than-barrique barrels. Aromas of black cherry, soy, resin and herbs lead to a polished, indeed positively creamy palate loaded with cherry and plum, alluringly-complemented by mocha and brown spices, and tinged with pleasing iodine and toasted nut bitterness. Remarkably sappy and juicy not to mention polished for a 2003, this wine's long, heat-free finish will reel you right back in for more. It represents an outstanding value, and may well gain in complexity over the next several years.
Vibrant, rich and well-balanced with its intense red plum, cherry and mineral flavors. There's plenty of peppery seasoning as well, with a finish dominated by dark chocolate. This has the stuffing to age. Drink now through 2014.
The Hecht & Bannier 2006 Cotes du Roussillon Villages smells of cedar, coconut (from a significant proportion of new wood), cherry, marjoram, and smoke. Stimulating hints of cherry pit bitterness along with smoke, herbal pungency, and graphite and crushed stone add to the dynamic impression conveyed by unusually fresh fruit, leading to a long, lip-smacking finish. While this ultimately lacks quite the richness or density of its 2005 counterpart, I imagine it will be well worth cellaring for at least 3-4 years, and it must be borne in mind that a track record is only beginning to accumulate for the maturation of Hecht & Bannier's fine wines.
The 2005 Côtes du Roussillon Villages - from what Hecht and Bannier call "a perfect vintage for Roussillon" - pours forth aromas and juicy sumptuous profusion of ripe black raspberry and cassis, but smoke, pencil lead, salt, chalk, and wet stone are never any farther from the surface than is the mother rock in most of these vineyards. And for all of this wine's expansive richness, there is ample contrast from juniper and marjoram, as well as a delightfully cool character to its long finishing fruit, complemented by invigoratingly tart fruit skin and crushed stone. With tight but refined tannic underpinnings, this will be worth following for at least 4-5 more years.
The 2007 Cotes du Roussillon Villages from geologically diverse sites in a half dozen outstanding villages is composed primarily of Grenache, with smaller amounts of Carignan, Syrah, and Mourvedre. "The Carignan" from high elevation Belesta and Caramany "is key," maintains Hecht, because Grenache from schist in Maury (which make up about a quarter of the blend) can represent too much richness and blatant fruitiness. High-toned mint, cherry distillate, blackberry liqueur, and floral notes as if from some exotic orchid light up the nose and lead to a deeply rich, opulent palate. Like the corresponding 2007 Faugeres (reviewed in my Languedoc report), this shows more obvious sweetness of fruit and viscosity than previous renditions, yet ups the ante in all other departments as well, and the last thing that comes to mind here is over-ripeness or heaviness. On the contrary, there is terrific energy and lift, leading to a polished, savory, persistently stimulating finish.

KENSINGTON, Ohio - The head of the Ohio EPA joined local officials for an up-close tour of the new gas processing plant in Kensington in Columbiana county.
The cryogenic processing plant, operated by Uitica East Ohio Buckeye, is a prime example of mid-stream oil and gas development. The plant processes natural gas and gas liquids that come out of the ground at the well head.
The plant manager says while it may look like a jumble of tanks and pipes it's state of the art technology that separates the gas that goes to our homes from the liquid hydrocarbons, like ethane, propane, butane and natural gasoline
Only three months into production the plant is already processing 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day from 100 wells. At the same time the facility is already involved in new construction.
300 to 500 skilled trades workers are involved in a large scale expansion to add a second cryogenic tower.
"That will be in service by the first of December of this year, we also have pilings set for a third tower, which will be 200 million per day for a total build out of 600-million cubic feet a day" said Plant Supervisor Grant Hammer.
The plant will also be used to train new employees and local officials say jobs and income is a great take away for the county.
"It's an opportunity for the young people in our county to have a start, very similar to what went on with Lordstown in the 60's" said County Commissioner Mike Halleck.
Commissioner Jim Hoppel says it's putting money in people's pockets and to spend at local businesses.
"All the extra money in the county that's being spent, that helps our sales tax" Hoppel said.
Company officials say the Kensington plant will be around for 50 years.

Recent Tasting Notes
Realized how far I am falling behind in my class that I was ahead of every one else in until I caught the lazies. So today I went to the library and watched all the required videos. Still have to download some example pdf's and I have two assignments due before Wednesday that will require a ton of research and work.
Walked in the door at home exhausted and knew I needed Earl Grey to help me relax. This is a wonderful version. Not heavy on the bergamot and lots of emphasis on the Kenyan base. Really like this one.
The tea helped but I made the mistake of checking my FB page before coming here. Please bear with me as I vent. Trouble in the praise team is brewing. Ladies, no offense, but in general you are really hard for guys to work with. With guys you just tell them to stop being a jerk and get over themselves – and they do and even if they don't that's usually the end of it. Drama and having to constantly calm people down wears thin after a while. The lady involved knows she is behaving terribly but that doesn't seem to stop her. I'm not in charge so I am not sure why this has become my issue to deal with. Arrgh! Give me strength.
Thanks again, Nicole_Martin!
This is my kind of chai! It has a golden-tasting, malty base and balance of both light and dark spices. How can I turn down cloves or liquorice root, right? And rose leaves in a chai? I was suprised at how much I could actually makes them out. I though at first they would be drowned out by the spices, but it really works well here. Yum!
I received a sample of this from Sil – thank you!! – and a couple of sample packages from Justea – thank you!! – for donating to their campaign.
If you had asked me yesterday about Kenyan tea, I would have said that I've only tried a couple of them, but they aren't my favorite.
This has changed my mind about Kenyan tea. It's is a really nice black tea. Deep, dark, bold everything I like in a black tea. I did get a bit of astringency but it didn't bother me and seemed to be well balanced against the rest of the tea. This isn't my favorite black, but the Justea campaign is a really good cause, and something I am happy to support. Hopefully they will continue their work in Kenya and there will be more good teas coming from them.
Thanks, Nicole_Martin, for sample of this tea!
Once you try a Kenyan black tea, you dont go back to greens.

Malty, fresh, juicy
Woke me up in the afternoon
"dark rye or pumpernickel" color
Good breakfast tea
Nice buzz
I would rate as a "Buy" for your tea portfolio
No Sugar, Milk, Honey, needed – WIN
12/19/13 – This tea is tasting great after a big lunch.
Thanks, Nicole_Martin, for sample of this tea!
This is a backlog from yesterday.
I enjoyed this tea as a breakfast tea. It was exceptionally smooth and malty with golden overtones. It was very fruity with almost plummy tones. It also has some green bean flavors going on. A very nice tea altogether!
Ok – time to try the last of my kickstarter reward teas! I saved this for last because I'm generally not a huge chai fan, but I'm excited about the fennel and cloves in this.
And again, I'm rather surprised by this! It has a nice bold taste at the beginning, which quickly transitions into a nice sweet finish. This is amazing. I wish I had tried this sooner but I'm happy I had it now.
I'm tempted to get the $25 fundraiser reward, but now I don't know which 2 of the three I would choose. :O Maybe I'll wait until they get their store up and buy then. I'm happy the fund-raiser was so successful too! They made it to 88%, and are still accepting contributions.
ETA: I just read the review from Justea and they mention this is not supposed to be a traditional Indian Chai – that would explain why it tasted differently than I had expected! Also yyz compared it to molasses gingerbread which I totally get with this! :O
Sipdown, 140. I overleafed this one a tad, but it still turned out pretty well. If anything the bergamot was a bit overly strong (and if I'm saying that, you know it must be way strong), but it mellowed as it cooled. Not too sad because I ordered more of this through the crowd funding campaign. A nice, well balanced Earl.
Another lovely sample from JusTea – thank you! It is autumn and autumn is time for chai! There are different ingredients here that aren't found in Indian chai… but I'm fine with that as long as the base is the lovely Kenyan black that I sipped recently. And rose petals don't hurt! I wish I knew exactly WHAT ingredients are in here, since it looks like there are more than the three listed in the description when I am looking at the blend itself. Maybe the description just mentions three of the ingredients that aren't in a typical chai? I steeped a teaspoon and a half just after boiling for 3 1/2 minutes. The brew color is actually lighter than I expected for chai. The black tea isn't as noticeable as I would like. I guess it's the spices overpowering the flavor of the black tea, which is probably why some chais use CTC black bases. The flavor is very clovey! I'm not a fan of ginger and I can only tolerate it when it is in chai. It's spicy in its own way. I don't know if I taste any rose, but it sure looks nice. This blend certainly stands alone in my chai collection, since it's so different!
This is me scrambling to get this review done before the justea crowd funder finishes! It's finishing up today!!!! I was planning to do this earlier this week, but my computer got bricked!
I finally got most of my computer running.. though when writing this review, I realized I lost all my fonts. Sigh @ clean install reformats.
On to the tea – this tea is great! I enjoyed it much more than just the base. The bergamont got rid of some of the dryness in this tea.
Very much no frills in this blend: no blue cornflowers and lumps of orange peel – just good quality berg oil and tea.
Full review on my blog, The Oolong Owl http://oolongowl.com/kathryne-earl-grey-black-tea-justea-oolong-owl-tea-review/
btw, the colour of this tea is gorgeous!
This tea reminds me of a slightly floral molasses gingerbread, which is odd as ginger is not listed in the ingredients in the description but nevertheless this is what the brewed tea and dried leaf smells like to me.
The first flavour on my tongue reminds me of Chinese five spice powder over a slightly earthy, malty flavour with a hint of citrus. The aftertaste has warm sweet note on roof of mouth and a warm buzzing on the tongue. The tea is quite sweet with fennel like sweet notes that become most apparent after the initial sip. The base is rich and deep and malty. This is a cloves dominant chai, but the coriander, fennel and licorice notes, work well to balance it. The rose and safflower notes are present as secondary notes in the flavour after the five spice note. The safflower adds a slightly fruity freshening note and the rose adds more depth to the flavour. I'm actually surprised at how much I like this as I usually dislike cloves dominated tea, A great tea for fall and the winter holidays.
Sipdown, 144. Thanks again to JusTea for a sample of this tea. I went to make it this morning to have for breakfast and realized too late that I didn't have any milk. As I had already brewed it, I sweetened it and had one cup sans milk to try it (pretty much same as last time) then I cooled the rest to have as a cold chai latte later today.
It's pretty good as a cold latte, but I think I would prefer it thicker somehow. Made with sweetened condensed milk, perhaps. In any case, it's was a nice, not-to-spicy chai to have this afternoon, and the milk smooths over any astringency from the base.
Ok! So this was the Earl Grey I was craving this morning. :P I enjoyed my cup of Mount Grey but wanted to follow up with this just to get it right. I'm finishing up the last of my sample now (114) and it is as slightly creamy/lemon custardy as I remember. YES!
The rest is getting stuffed into a little envelope for Ozli who loves EG's, which SHOULD go at the letter price as it's just one flattened bag. If they say it's too thick and charge me for a package I'll just take it back home with me. >:|
Sil – I'm working on it. And if they say it's more than a stamp, I just won't leave until they tell me how to make it cheaper. The whole point is I just throw a stamp on it and walk away!
i actually yelled at the post office man the other day. HE took my envelopes, sealed them and then was going to charge me more because they didn't fit through the slot. "thank you kindly but i didn't ask you to seal those and i can shift things around so they will fit…please unseal them and if they won't unseal, you'll need to give me another envelope." so there!
sipdown. nope nope nope nope nope nope nope. I could tell this wouldn't be a tea for me as soon as i cut into the package. but i tried. and no. the rest is going in a box for terri. and tony. 'cause this is a tea for him….not me. but if you love earl greys…IGNORE MY REVIEW! since i suspect that many a fan of the EG would like this.
This isn't "Chai Ho."
This is "Chai Whoa."
You are getting spices that you've never heard of before in here. In the dry leaves, where the ginger attacks your olfactories like an eager-but-inept makeout partner, the aroma is peppered with the rich layers of fennel and cinnamon. This smooths way out in the cup as the latter takes over completely: "Ginger, stop embarrassing yourself." "Yes ma'am."
The very first sip is a call to throw away your sugar. That cinnamon joins forces with safflower and rose petals to form a band called Natural Sweetness. Unfortunately, this means that the ginger gets left behind–maybe there wasn't enough room in the van. You can still smell it in the aroma, but as you drink up that dusky ochre liquor… Full review here: http://snooteablog.com/2013/10/01/snooty-tea-review-justea/
With JusTea's Earl Grey, you're immediately pummeled with pulverizing pungency. There is nothing "just tea" about this. The bergamot is BERGAMOT but even louder, sharp as cut glass. And this is only the dry leaves! Once in the cup, the aroma tames itself marvelously and the underlying black tea comes through, all smokey gold and playing with the idea that it's really a Keemun from China. We are reminded that no matter where tea leaves may be grown, they are still the same Camellia sinesis plant. ('Cause we are all connected in the great Circle of Life, baby.)
The bergamot just does not let you go. Ever. It latches onto your ankle and pulls you into the amber depths of the liquor. Highly insis-tea-nt; constantly badgering you with its presence. In fact, it's honey badgering you. Because not only does it sass, "Bergamot don't care!" but… Full review here: http://snooteablog.com/2013/10/01/snooty-tea-review-justea/
If you're a fan of roasty Chinese blacks, then get ready for a treat. A far cry from its florid South Asian counterparts from Ceylon and Assam, Kenyan black tea takes every deep golden note of your favorite Keemuns and Yunnans–and boom. The roll of a heated drum, as it penetrates and reverberates from sip to sole to soul. The finish is so smooth that you can't even feel it leave your tongue.
But is this a Lion King of tea? Actually, it's more like a Lion Queen. Lionesses are the real power within a pride, hunting and taking care of the young, while our Simbas and Mufasas… Full review here: http://snooteablog.com/2013/10/01/snooty-tea-review-justea/
Love this tea! The leaves have a malty, mushroomy, yet fruity scent. The brew tastes super malty, along with cacao nibs and barley. There is a sweetness in there too though, and it seems to get sweeter as the tea cools down. It's a bit astringent which I enjoy. A great morning tea!
sipdown! i really need to try the other teas from justea as i have enjoyed this one. It doesn't top my list of blacks, but it is a solid cup of black. a little astringency but nothing that makes it undrinkable. mmmmm nice afternoon tea before dinner time. though i should probably stuop with the caffeine given that i need to go to sleep and then get up again at 3:30am for testing heh
I love this Earl Grey. It's so sweet and citrus-y and smooth. I'm just amazed by the freshness and depth of these Justea teas. The bergamot is a tad stronger than I personally prefer but there's a richness/creaminess to it than I am really enjoying. It's close to lemon custard as it cools! Close.
I just said that I won't need any more EG's now that I have TARDIS and Mount Grey, but maybe I need to take it back. I hope Justea's crowdfunding efforts are a success because I foresee future orders!
This tea has the type of bergamot I like in it, bright and complex, fruity citrus with notes from lemon to tangerine with spicy notes that remind me of lavender and ginger. The flavouring is bold and strong which blends well with a strong heavy bodied tea.
Using 1.5 tsp this tea brewed up to a nice red after around 3 minutes. The first flavour note was of sweet potato, followed quickly by citrus spice with lavender and light ginger notes, underlain by deep malt and cocoa. This is quite nice, bright and light tasting on top, with depth underneath and a lovely citrus spice aftertaste.

I have been waiting to try this one in part because I'm not a huge chai person, and I wanted to have it at home (as opposed to work) where I have the ability to add milk and sugar, which is how I usually drink chai if I drink it.
Working from home today, so I am hoping to get through a number of sipdowns and such. Unfortunately, I have just realized that I just used the last of milk on cereal this morning, so no milk. Ah well.
I tried it plain first, and I was pleased that it wasn't an overly spicy or clovey chai. I mean, it is clovey, but not crazy clovey like some chais. The spice blend seems balanced. But as I have found with the other African teas, there is a bit of astringency. I put in a little sugar to smooth that out, and it seems to have worked. I think this would be a really lovely chai if brewed in a traditional chai fashion, even if it's not a super traditional chai. I have enough of my sample to try that when I do get some milk, so perhaps this weekend.
Thanks again to JusTea for this sample, and as a reminder their crowdfunding campaign is on now at http://www.justea.com

On Saturday night, the Gulf Coast men's and women's basketball team on the hardwood for the final time this season. The teams, saying goodbye to their sophomores, and wanting to send them out with a win. The Gulf Coast ladies, doing just that- beating Pensacola State 78 to 66, and after the game, Vernette Skeete saying she's happy to send out the sophomores with a win.
"I asked the kids to just come out and show the world what they were capable of doing and to play as a family and play as one," she said. "Everytime someone dove on the floor they were there rushing to pick them up. They were high-fiving and cheering and playing unselfish. Tonight was really about sounding off to the rest of the world that at the end of the day, we're still family and we're still one. That made me happy."
The Gulf Coast men, out of any postseason talks like the ladies, but for their opponent Pensacola, a lot on the line. If Pensacola wins, they are a sure lock at state, and it'd take overtime, but the Pirates pull out the 78-76 win.
So, who joins Pensacola at the tournament? Chipola, who beat Northwest Florida state 69-64.

About That Letter My Dad Got in the Mail Friday
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
My father is 87 years old. He's in great shape, drives on his own, plays cards with the guys each afternoon, and has basically been enjoying retirement since he sold his business when he was 65.
Like all retirees, he and my Mom have been living off their savings for years.
And like millions of Americans, the low interest rates we have been enduring since the Federal Reserve decided back in 2008 that it was best to bring rates down to historically low levels (and keep them there for six years) haven't been kind to them.
But last week, the letter we got in the mail, well, it was the last straw.
My folks have some of their money in the wealth management division of one of the largest banks in North America. On Friday, we received a letter from them that said the bank would start charging a fee of $500.00 a year if the balance in my parents' accounts fell below $125,000.
Yes, you got that right. If my parents keep less than $125,000 in their accounts at this (essentially) brokerage arm of the bank, they will be charged $500.00 a year for the bank to keep their money.
Nice. (If you are a small business owner, imagine treating your customers like that!)
The letter ended by saying that if we are not happy with the bank, we can transfer the money to another financial institution by a certain deadline date and the transfer fee will be waived. Nice, again.
Dear reader, I have been writing to you for months that my view is essentially that money is … Read More
The New Land of Oz
By Michael Lombardi, MBA for Profit Confidential
Yesterday was an amazing day for the markets.
Gold bullion hit a three-month low despite: 1) inflation rising rapidly in North America; and 2) the Chinese buying half of this year's world gold production.
The stock market was up to a new high despite: 1) corporate insiders selling like mad; 2) corporate earnings growth collapsing; 3) the amount of money investors have borrowed to buy stocks standing at a record high; and 4) the economy stinking.
In the words of Robert Appel, my esteemed colleague, the following best describes what is happening with the markets:
"Time to take those ruby slippers out of the closet because we are definitely on our way to the 'Wizard of Oz' show once again. There is a view that the government and its 'special contractor' (the Fed) have things under control and we are now at the beginning of the biggest stock bull in history. We don't buy that theory for a minute but we do acknowledge it exists.
"Those opposing this view—an ever-declining number—suggest that if inflation were defined as it was when the greatest economic minds of our age were still alive—the U.S. economy would be in big trouble. The recent corporate earnings wipeout in the retail sector was one of the most under-reported financial stories of the year.
"Interestingly (this is too bizarre to make up) the only major upside surprise in the retail sector in respect to first quarter earnings reports was Tiffany's…where they can barely keep up with demand. No surprise for our readers as the 'gap' between rich and poor under QE [quantitative easing] has only intensified. QE … Read More
The Great Crash of 2014
A stock market crash bigger than what happened in 2008 and early 2009 is headed our way.
In fact, we are predicting this crash will be even more devastating than the 1929 crash…
…the ramifications of which will hit the economy and Americans deeper than anything we've ever seen.
Our 27-year-old research firm feels so strongly about this, we've just produced a video to warn investors called, "The Great Crash of 2014."
In case you are not familiar with our research work on the stock market:
In late 2001, in the aftermath of 9/11, we told our clients to buy small-cap stocks. They rose about 100% after we made that call.
We were one of the first major advisors to turn bullish on gold.
Throughout 2002, we urged our readers to buy gold stocks; many of which doubled and even tripled in price.
In November of 2007, we started begging our customers to get out of the stock market. Shortly afterwards, it was widely recognized that October 2007 was the top for stocks.
We correctly predicted the crash in the stock market of 2008 and early 2009.
And in March of 2009, we started telling our readers to jump into small caps. The Russell 2000 gained about 175% from when we made that call in 2009 to today.
Many investors will find our next prediction hard to believe until they see all the proof we have to back it up.
Even if you don't own stocks, what's about to happen will affect you!

Despite being around for 10 years, HSAs are not commonly used as a method of saving for retirement even though they have incredible tax benefits. Not only do contributions reduce taxable income and earnings do not incur taxes, but qualified distributions are also not taxed. A recent article by Paul Fronstin in "Notes" highlighted not only these benefits, but how you can use your HSA to save up an incredible amount of money for your retirement. The most striking part of the article explains how, under the right circumstances, you could end up with a million dollar HSA by the age of 65. Believe it or not, this is NOT completely unrealistic. If you start contributing to an individual HSA at the age of 25 and make the maximum contribution each year, projecting the increase in contribution limits over time, with proper investing, your HSA could be worth $1.1 million and you could save up to $420,000 in federal income taxes.
It is important to understand not only the advantages to an HSA but also its limitations. Keep in mind, you only qualify to contribute to an HSA if you are currently enrolled in a high deductible health plan and you do not benefit from an additional health plan that is not HSA-eligible. If you enroll in Medicare, you can no longer contribute to an HSA. It is also important to consider that if you take a non-qualified distribution (one not to pay for qualified medical expenses), the distribution is not only taxed, but also is subject to a 20% penalty.
You CAN, however, always withdraw from an HSA even if you don't qualify to contribute to one, meaning that if your health care plan changes, you do not need to close your HSA account. You can also continue to contribute to an HSA no matter what age you are, and you are never required to take required minimum distributions. There are no income restrictions preventing you from opening an HSA, and you can contribute even if you are not drawing a salary. You may also take a distribution regardless of your age as long as it is to pay for a qualified medical expense. All these attributes make the HSA a unique retirement savings tool, because though it is very different from other retirement accounts in terms of age restrictions and distributions, it follows the same rules as more common retirement accounts when it comes to investing.
The $1.1 million HSA calculation was based on high yield investments (about 7.5%). As many of you know, this is an unusually high return to find in traditional investments such as stocks and mutual funds, especially when taken over 30+ years. This is where self directed assets can give you the edge. There are people investing their retirement accounts AND HSAs in real estate, promissory notes, gold, and other non-traditional assets. If you have a traditional retirement account that doesn't quite have enough money to buy that investment property you have your eye on, you can partner it with the funds in your HSA! Make your retirement money go further and use your HSA to its best advantage.

For environmental advocates in Los Angeles, the wet weather has raised hopes that future rains could someday be put to better use.
On Dec. 17, the Los Angeles City Council granted preliminary approval to the draft of a Low Impact Development ordinance that would put in place tighter storm water mediation regulations for property developers.
The ordinance would require developers of projects larger than 500 square feet to put in place safeguards that will prevent storm water from winding its way into the Los Angeles River and, eventually, the Pacific Ocean.
"Right now, whatever pollutants that aren't left in the river for us to clean up are washed into the bay," says Shelly Backlar, executive director of the Friends of the Los Angeles River, a nonprofit organization whose stated mission is to "protect and restore the natural and historic heritage of the Los Angeles River and its riparian habitat through inclusive planning, education and wise stewardship." Adds Backlar: "It has a huge impact on the entire region."
Backlar explains that the ordinance would require developers to come up with creative measures for capturing rainwater, whether it be through spouts that would divert storm water far from the river and into gardens or by building permeable surface parking lots through which rainwater can be filtered and reintegrated into the groundwater supply.
The positive benefits of storm water remediation are twofold, she explains. First, there will be less polluted storm water making its way into the river and eventually into the bay. And second, low-impact developments will allow for more storm water to be absorbed into the ground, which improves the area's ability to be self-sustaining as opposed to relying on imported water.
Stephanie Taylor, director of policy at Green LA Coalition, says the L.I.D ordinance has been underway for about two years, and as the rain began to fall on Thursday, the urgency of the ordinance's passage became all the more clear.
"I think the message was, 'We're wasting time here,'" Taylor says.
For local river advocates, such as Meredith McKenzie, Mount Washington's representative on the Arroyo Seco Neighborhood Council, the sight of a rushing L.A. River is bittersweet. "It's nice to see all the water in the river—I don't feel great about where it's going, though," says McKenzie, who goes by the handle @ArroyoLover on Twitter.
McKenzie—who is a real estate broker in the San Gabriel Valley and Northeast Los Angeles, as well as an advocate for green development—says she believed the passage of the L.I.D. would have positive economic effects, in addition to being beneficial to the environment.
"It's going to create green-collar jobs," McKenzie says, pointing out that the regulations would be a boon for companies that specialize in developing storm-water remediation systems.
As for the cost to builders, who had put up the strongest opposition to the L.I.D., McKenzie says the efforts to create exemptions for projects that are already in development would help reduce the financial burden.
"Developers don't so much mind spending a little more for sustainability if they know the cost going in," she says. "It's when they have to go back and request a change order and pay extra that it becomes difficult."
McKenzie says she hopes that the ordinance, which is still pending review by the city's attorney and a final vote by the council in the spring, will force developers to think about the impact of their projects beyond its own lot lines.
"What I want the L.I.D. to do is to get developers, builders and remodelers to think about their impact beyond their footprint and recognize that they are part of a bigger whole," she says.

The Valparaiso Bowl: football for a good cause

In response to your quote in the article on this week's Valpo Bowl, I'm startled by your characterization of this long-time rivalry game.
As much as I applaud your effort to raise awareness of the event to fund you worthwhile cause, to suggest to players and coaches this is merely a "fun event" and that whatever rivalry may exist between the football programs should be "set aside"...REALLY?
High school rivalries are unifying and motivating for both teams and should encouraged and respected, not "set aside" for the benefit of your organization.
How about... "This is a long-standing rivalry between two great schools and should be an exciting game. We wish both teams the best of luck and appreciate their support of such a worthwhile cause!"
I realize this is an important fundraiser for your org but please don't diminish what it means to the players.

My Great Uncle GILBERT LLOYD BEAHAN worked in the Engineering & Development Division of Rohr Corporation from about 1944 until he retired in 1964. He called himself a "tool builder" and later referred to himself as a "retired Rohr patternmaker." According to the July 21, 1966 Chula Vista Star-News, Beahan said he was a "patternmaker (handling plastics), a researcher (developing plastic tools to withstand terrific pressures), and finally, a salvage sales supervisor." He was also a well known artist in Chula Vista. He passed away in September 1974.
The article, Rohr Man's Weekend Home Project Builds Toward Retirement Goal, above is from the December 7, 1959 issue of ROHR NEWS.

↵Sometime between then and now, he took a deep breath and put all his emotions down on paper. His column in the L.A. Times this morning spans the entire spectrum of clichéd sports columnist anger. Suggest the team should dump Manny despite realizing that's not possible? Check. Discuss the severe impact this will have on the kids? Check (twice). Claim, as he did on ESPN yesterday, that he saw this coming last year? Check. Most importantly: Accurately channel the voice of the fans and mirror the outrage they're feeling? Judge for yourself: ↵
↵Well, uh, they clearly just happened to find the dozen or so fans that aren't ANGRY about all of this. Yeah, that's it. Besides, as Plaschke writes in his column, Manny "must come clean for the media who will relay his message to the fans who he has turned to suckers." See?! These fans have all been suckered! Brain-washed into not being upset! Plaschke, though, is not so easily duped. He's a trained professional, folks.

|Fantasy News
|Fri. Aug 22, 2014
|News: Manager Ron Washington is still unsure if Darvish (elbow) will travel with the team on next week's road trip, Fox Sports Southwest's Anthony Andro reports.
|Impact: The team will travel to Seattle following Sunday's game, followed by trips to Houston and Kansas City on a road trip that lasts until Sept. 3, so it's possible Darvish could be held out until early September, and possibly beyond.(RotoWire, )
|Tue. Aug 19, 2014
|News: Rangers manager Ron Washington said Tuesday that he's "backing off" his announced intent for Darvish (elbow) to pitch Aug. 25 against Seattle, the Dallas Morning News reports.
|Impact: The skipper said last Friday that he had been given no indication that Darvish would need more than the minimum 15 days required his DL stint, but he backtracked Tuesday, saying simply "I don't know what's going to happen there." Darvish has not thrown in the week since he hit the DL, and while the team has not suggested the right-hander is dealing with anything more significant than the original diagnosis of inflammation, Darvish's status for a return is completely in the air at the moment.(RotoWire, )
|Fri. Aug 15, 2014
|News: Rangers manager Ron Washington said Friday that he expects Darvish (elbow) to return to the rotation Aug. 25 against the Mariners, the Dallas Morning News reports.
|Impact: Whereas Darvish created some doubt as to his short-term outlook Thursday, saying "I don't want to go out there and risk my future," Washington was clear in his desire to get the right-hander back as soon as possible. Washington said that he has been given "no indication that it would be more than 15 days" for Darvish, who has been diagnosed with just mild elbow inflammation. The Rangers will be able to get by without a fifth starter in the interim.(RotoWire, )
|Thu. Aug 14, 2014
|News: Darvish has been diagnosed with mild elbow inflammation, Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest reports.
|Impact: An MRI confirmed the original diagnosis of elbow inflammation for Darvish, who will wait until the pain subsides before resuming a throwing program. The Rangers reportedly don't think the issue is a long-term concern, and Darvish suggested he could pitch through the injury but he just doesn't want to risk his future. Regardless, it's uncertain whether Darvish will return this season.(RotoWire, )
|Wed. Aug 13, 2014
|News: Darvish has been placed on the 15-day disabled list because of inflammation in his right elbow.
|Impact: The move was retroactive to Sunday, a day after he allowed six runs and nine hits over four innings in a loss at Texas. The Rangers said Darvish didn't have any issues during that game, but felt tightness when throwing on the side Monday. (STATS, 7:50pm)
|Wed. Aug 13, 2014
|News: Darvish (elbow) will undergo an MRI, Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest reports.
|Impact: The Rangers understandably want to know the full extent of Darvish's injury before deciding on a course of action, so they'll send him for additional testing Thursday. GM Jon Daniels said he doesn't think the ligament is involved. Darvish was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with what has been tentatively labeled elbow inflammation, and Robbie Ross will be recalled to start in his place Thursday.(RotoWire, )
|Wed. Aug 13, 2014
|News: Darvish was placed on the 15-day DL on Wednesday with right elbow inflammation, Anthony Andro of FOX Sports Southwest reports.
|Impact: Darvish reported feeling soreness while playing catch Monday, and with the way this season has gone for the Rangers, it's hardly a surprise that they've decided to shut him down for the time being. He'll be eligible to return Aug. 25, but it's too early to tell whether he'll be ready by then. Robbie Ross will start in his absence Thursday.(RotoWire, )
|Sat. Aug 9, 2014
|News: Darvish struck out seven and walked four while giving up six runs -- five earned -- on nine hits over four innings in a losing effort Saturday night.
|Impact: Saturday's start marked the fifth time in the last 10 outings that Darvish has allowed four or more runs. By all accounts, he's healthy, so there's little reason to be concerned in that regard, but the bullpen protecting his leads and offense providing his run support leave plenty to be desired. He'll make his third attempt at collecting win No. 11 on the season Thursday against the Rays in Arlington.(RotoWire, )
|Mon. Aug 4, 2014
|News: Darvish limited Cleveland to a run and seven hits with eight strikeouts in seven innings on Sunday, but didn't receive a decision in Texas' 4-3 defeat.
|Impact: Darvish is 2-1 with a 2.16 ERA over his last four games.(STATS, 5:03pm)

Public college presidents get big paychecks
College grads might be having a tough time landing jobs these days, but college presidents are doing pretty well for themselves. That's according to a new survey from the Chronicle of Higher Education on executive pay at public colleges.
"Their pay seems to have been more or less impervious to the recent downturns we've seen in the economy," says Jack Stripling, lead reporter on the Chronicle's college president pay report.
The media group says the typical college president pulled in about $480,000 in total compensation in the 2012-2013 fiscal year. Nine presidents of the 256 public college leaders surveyed by the Chronicle had total compensation packages that topped $1-million. The highest-earning president was E. Gordon Gee, who ran Ohio State University during the period in question. His total compensation exceeded $6-million. Gee is now president at West Virgina University.
Such big pay packages may raise hackles at a time when schools are charging more for tuition and using cheap, adjunct faculty. Stephen Joel Trachtenberg, president emeritus at the George Washington University, says college faculty likely do need a pay bump. But he says that's a separate issue.
"You don't have to make the case that presidents are overpaid in order to make the case that faculty are underpaid," he says.
Trachtenberg argues that college presidents earn their big paychecks by bringing in lots of money in tough fundraising environments.
But Michael Dannenberg, director of higher education and education finance policy with the Education Trust, says public college presidents should have some relationship to graduation rates.
"We have pretty high compensation levels at many institutions with disturbingly low performance when it comes to student success," he says.
The Chronicle of Higher Education's survey reveals that in many cases, presidents are not the top earners at public colleges. Its analysis finds that of the public college faculty earnig more than $1-million in fiscal year 2012-2013, 70 percent were coaches.

"Great chalet and location with skiing to match!"
Really loved the location and chalet, which was extremely clean and very well equipped, with ample space for ski's and boots in a large area underneath the Chalet. Short walk to the piste in the morning and we had sufficient snow to be able to ski right back to the door at the end of the day. The ski area is beautiful with plenty of good blues and reds and some challeging blacks, with other (Gstaad) skking available only a short drive away and on the same lift pass. The town of Zweisimenn has everything you would need and is a short walk away, or even shorter drive if the hill on the way back is a little too much!
This is our 2nd year which I hope says a lot, and we will certainly be going back again if only to try and keep pace with the kids!!

BURLESON — Over the last few weeks, News 8 has reported about the plight of Sherre Mueller. While she owns her Burleson home outright, she lost it to foreclosure for failing to pay her homeowners' association dues.
It was a story that not only caught your attention, but piqued the interest of state lawmakers.
"You don't seize someone's home that's entirely paid off for a few hundred dollars in back dues," said State Rep. Chris Turner (D-Dist. 96). "That's fundamentally unfair and not right."
Turner is the latest state legislator to tackle HOA reform, and on Monday, he recruited Sherre Mueller to join his fight.
"I want to be an advocate for people to never let this happen again," she said.
State lawmakers have tried unsuccessfully to reduce the powers of HOAs for years. In 2009, two proposals in the House and Senate ran out of time.
Turner would like to add two major safeguards to the law, including one that would make it impossible for an HOA to foreclose without a court order.
He also thinks members of an association — your neighbors — should have the final say and vote whether to seize a house.
An anonymous donor is helping Mueller buy back her home, and she's now doing her part to help change the law that allowed it to be taken from her.
"There's been so many positive things to come of this — it's unbelievable," she said.

Welcome to our school. Hele's is a calm place where individuals flourish because of our high expectations for learning and behaviour. All within our community understand that success stems from setting our sights high.
We are a learning community where all of us want to improve – from the youngest pupils to the most experienced member of staff. We are not afraid to try new approaches, to attempt the hardest tasks, nor are we worried about sometimes facing setbacks – every coach knows that when we say 'We can't do it…' we should be adding '…yet!' The recent Olympics have reminded us that to be outstanding requires constant effort, fine tuning and determination to be the best we can be. The Paralympics show us that barriers to achievement can be challenged and overcome with a positive mental attitude and inspiring teaching.
Teachers are professionals who are constantly reviewing their own performance, rebuilding lessons taught each time they are revisited with new ideas to match the learners' needs, and to stimulate and challenge them to scale even greater heights. One pupil recently summed it up beautifully; she described the best lessons as not following lines, but being 'squiggly' with interest and enjoyment.
Similarly, we expect our learners to be aspirational for themselves, and to show enthusiasm for learning, and originality and creativity in their work, making every effort to ensure that others learn and thrive in an atmosphere of respect and dignity. We expect lessons to proceed without interruption because we have systematic, consistently applied approaches to behaviour management, and we expect our learners to play their part.
Visitors frequently comment on the calmness of the school. It is a safe and caring place, and we are proud of our students who show high levels of social responsibility, helping others around them, and contributing to the community and world around them. Courtesy, collaboration and co-operation are the hallmarks of our community.
Mr A. Birkett, Principal
Inspiring teachers, aspiring learners
Bring out the best
for life, not school
Inspiring teachers, aspiring learners
Congratulations to our Year 11 students for the many outstanding results this year across the majority of subjects.
Despite the national picture, we have seen improvements in several subjects this year, and we've had some brilliant individual performances.
Our top performer, Ben Cartwright has broken school records with 11 A*'s and 1 A – a remarkable performance! The top ten performers have 91 A* and As between them. We are expecting record numbers choosing to return to the sixth form in September, and see a particularly strong cohort joining science and maths.
We have been supporting students with questions today, and other students who wish to discuss their results can book an appointment for Monday 1st and Wednesday 3rd to see Post 16 staff through the Post 16 link on the school website.
Again we would wish to reassure parents and students that the English unit that appears to have been severely graded is being urgently investigated with the exam board, and we will support any student affected by this in terms of progression to post 16 or elsewhere.
Hele's school students and staff are celebrating record A level successes today with a large number of students securing places at university. This is the fourth year in a row of record results, and we are delighted to buck the national trend in this respect with our best results ever. Almost half of all entries scored grades from an A* to a B with an overall pass rate of 99%.
Top performer was Scott Larcombe who achieved A* grades in Chemistry and Maths and A grades in Further Maths and Physics and who will now take up his place at Exeter University to study Physics.
James Lucas scored 3 A grades in Politics, Geography and History and will now study History and Politics at Exeter University. Josh Edmonds also scored 3 A grades in Maths, Further Maths and Physics and will now continue his studies at Southampton to study Electrical and Electronic Engineering.
Other notable performances were from Evie Wilson, achieving an A* in English Literature plus an A in PE and a B in Religious Studies and from Ellie Selley, who scored an A* in History, an A in Sociology and a B in PE. Lucy Knight, who will be taking a year out as an au pair in Spain, achieved an A* in English Literature, an A in Drama and a B in History.
Alice Duke also deserves recognition for her A* in Fine Art and is off to Falmouth to study Interior Design.
We are equally delighted with the performance of our year 12 students which again is our best set of results ever and bode extremely well for next year.
Andy Birkett, Principal, said 'Its a great day. Yet again we have seen new records set as the sixth form grows from strength to strength. Congratulations to the year group whose impressive grades are counter to the national trend. I'm very pleased to see that the continued efforts and hard work of our students and staff has paid off. We wish all of our year 13 students the very best with whatever they have chosen as their next pathway.'
Young photographers have been battling it out in a local competition with one winner going on to win 2nd place nationally.
Y13 student Elliot Maynard scooped first prize at the Rotary in Great Britain and Ireland Young Photographer competition at the Plympton club. The Hele's School student, who has been studying photography through the Post 16 Plym Learning Consortium at Ridgeway, won the regional prize before going on to win 2nd place at national senior level.
Elliot is now awaiting his A' level results and is due to begin a fashion photography course at Falmouth University. He has studied The Level 3 National Diploma in Media, which has already been graded at Distinction level (equivalent to Grade A at A level) alongside Photography and Theatre Studies.
Elliot was presented with his prize by Plymouth Lord Mayor Councillor Michael Fox and his wife Lady Mayoress Rosemary Fox, at a dedicated reception last week.
Held at Exeter University on the 26th June.
Hele's School had 3 brilliant projects competing: 'Effect of acidification on marine life' by Harrison Nicholls, Matthew Robinson and John Thackray; 'Protect yourself' by Ben Cooke, John Goodwin, Karl Holman and Tyler Phillips; and 'Endangered animals' by Rosie Bray, Niamh Kelly, Morgan Lewis and Tegan Tunnicliffe. They all went prepared; they received a grilling from the judges, but all held their own fantastically. After the judging, we had a look around the amazing stalls from other schools and companies; found out about internal combustion engines, sat in a helicopter, took a taste test to find out about our genes, discovered the properties of bubbles, collected lots of freebies and most importantly enjoyed ourselves.
After lunch we went to a marvellous show/demonstration about the possibility of life on other planets and Morgan correctly answered a question to the whole audience – well done! Lastly, we went to the awards ceremony and cheered loudly for the projects that won. We returned home eager to go back next year with more projects, even better ideas and a determination to win next time!
Congratulations everyone who competed for your fantastic effort!
