Multisites Single Sign In for domains
This extends the apache or IIS http server with the facility to share the session information betwee different domains.
This is a plugin must be installed in each websites in which you want to share the login.
It can also work with and without Jms Multi Sites.
When the extension is installed without Jms Multi Sites, it is required to share the Joomla MySQL tables for the sessions and users between the websites.
It is also recommended that you use the same joomla "secret" configuration value in the different websites as it is used to check the data exchanged between the different domains.
Frontend editing was complicated, because you had to login each time you changed section and thus changing domains.
With this plugin I log in once, and I'm logged in on all domains.
I bought this extension to provide a single sign-in for a group of websites with different domains. Having followed the less-than-adequate instructions provided with the extension and having tried various combinations of settings as described therein, it quickly became clear that this extension is not what it claims to be.
The documentation advises that it is necessary to share the jos_user and jos_sessions database fields in the respective databases and also the same 'secret' word in the configuration.php file. It explains that the table prefixes must be the same and having carefully done exactly as instructed, nothing happens. Even Firebug showed nothing to suggest what was wrong - which leads me to believe that the extension actually does nothing useful.
I am not quite a Joomla novice so I understand that the jos_core_acl_aro and jos_core_acl_groups_aro_map tables are also essential when manipulating user data - something not mentioned in the documentation and a very serious oversight which means that it is not possible to make this extension work by following the instructions.
I asked for support and was advised that my very detailed query was 'ambiguous' and thatI should consult the forum or register for paid support.
Being unable to find anything relating directly to my problem in the forum I once more asked for some advice by submitting full details of the procedures and settings I used when using the extension with a request for suggestions as to what might be the problem, especially if I had overlooked something - I am not inclined to blame an extension for my own shortcomings so this seemed a reasonable request in view of having paid £20+ to the developer already.
The dismissive response was to the effect that if I wanted the extension installed for me I must order paid support.
That is not what I wanted - what I wanted was to get the extension working, know how I did it, then write a glowing review here.
I have tried to use it with separate TLDs, subdomains and even different servers - it doesn't work and I am beginning to suspect that this is little more than a device to sell paid support and/or other extensions from which it appears this utility was extracted.
Reading the 'small print' the developer also claims that the payment is NOT for the extension - that is free - but for the facility to download it. Does this mean that Belgium is outside the scope of EU regulations for fair trade? I think not!
I am not impressed with the extension or the developer and would advise extreme caution when considering this particular plugin. It is not what it claims to be!
First, the objective of this extension is to allow remaining logged between website that have different domain. The objective is to share the apache session ID between the website.
This customer try sharing the apache session between websites on the same domain like mydomain.com/site1 mydomain.com/site2.
In this case, apache (or IIS) already share the session ID and that this extension is not required.
Second, we told to the customers that he probably didn't share correctly the MySQL tables of his websites because the session information present in the DB is probably not shared.
Finally, any support that would request to access the environment of the customer to help him configure or setup his environment is available via the billable support.
The installation, setup of the customer environment is not included in the price to download the extension.
We also remember that this extension is delivered in application of GNU/GPL
Multisites Single Sign In for domains solved this problem in no time! The package you download includes a detailed PDF file with all the instructions needed to get the plugin to work in less than 5 minutes.
Highly recommended!

Franklin & Marshall College's merit increase program is designed to recognize and reward the valuable contributions of faculty and professional staff. The opportunity for an annual merit increase is based upon an individual's annual performance evaluation and annually approved guidelines.
Salary increases depend upon the evaluation rating and fall in the following ranges: Highly Commendable (2.15% to 2.3%), Successful (1.7% to 1.9%), and Needs Improvement (0 to 1.0%). Merit increases for those in their positions less than one year will be at the senior officer's discretion. Merit pay is fully aligned with the employee performance evaluation process and will be determined by the manager's overall assessment of the employee's performance. Employees hired prior to April 1, 2014 are eligible for a merit increase. Increases for salaried employees are based upon their annual salary, and increases for hourly employees are based upon their hourly rate of pay.
How It Works
Each year, the salary pool for the next fiscal year is determined by the Board of Trustees. Human Resources oversees the merit increase process by providing guidelines to Senior Officers. HR also provides Officers with instructions on using Salary Planner, a new online tool in Inside F&M that allows them to manage their respective salary pools and process merit increases easily.
Employees will be notified of their new compensation by their managers at the beginning of July.

November 16, 2007
A new survey out from the Virginia Farm Bureau shows two things. One, that Virginians will pay more than ever to make a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. And two, those of us in the Charlottesville area will pay more than anyone else in the state.
Friday afternoon shoppers were stocking up at the Giant on Pantops.
"We got the turkey, the stuffing, the cranberry sauce, and all the trimmings to go with the turkey," said Jackie Peters, as she loaded bags of groceries into the back of her van.
The Virginia Farm Bureau says prices are up more than five percent from last year. Higher energy prices, like the cost of gas to ship groceries, is one big reason.
"Every time we come, we spend more money each week," said Bill Peters. "I mean we just came in here for turkey and we spent $120 dollars, so it's a lot of money."
While all Virginians are expected to pay more, what might surprise you most is that the Charlottesville area is the most expensive in the state. The average price for a dinner for ten will set you back almost $50. Compare that to Wytheville, the cheapest place in the Commonwealth, where shoppers will pay about $20 less.
So local buyers are looking for deals.
"We were just walking around and saw the sales and decided we'd go ahead and get the stuff," said Jackie Peters.
As an example, take the price of turkey. In some parts of the state shoppers can find them for as little as 28 cents per pound. Even the best deals in the Charlottesville area are almost double that. Still, Charlottesville shoppers are unlikely to cut back.
"If it becomes too expensive to drive to work everyday, then maybe you'll get a more fuel efficient car, or you'll move closer to where you work," said Biff Beers as he left the grocery store. "But Thanksgiving- that's once a year. You just do the best you can."
Experts say shoppers might also be able to save a little cash by buying locally grown ingredients. Those products don't have to be transported to the grocery store.
And, though the clock is ticking, shoppers might even be able to find a turkey farm in their area. Virginia is the fourth-largest turkey producing state in the U.S.
Also, many of the major grocery chains in the area are running specials through the holiday.

Built On Lies (Gangster) Lyrics - Steriogram
Oh tough guy- living your rhymes or is it just in your mind?
My mistake, were you actually just living a lie?
Nevertheless, so continuous.
I know your playing the part but its so ridiculous
Now i know its just that you want to feel high,
And dont get me wrong cause i think its alright.
One thing discovered, one thing i have found
Is that everybody wants to be a gangster
When they turn off the light
A vision of a million dollar banner "wanted dead or alive"
In the dead of the night
I never thought i'd ever see a
World war made up
Whole thing built on lies
Oh you dont walk you dance,
I love the way you glance at everybody to intimidate them with your staunch stance.
Well at first he's got the thrill, the machines all set to kill
And he hopes you'll come around but i guess i never will
Everybody wants to have their minute while its hot
But i dont like killing just so we can dig their land up
I dont really get it and i guess i never will.

United Methodist Pastor Heads Swedish Church Union Team
Stockholm, Sweden, February 1, 2012--A United Methodist pastor is the leader of a management group guiding the formation of a new ecumenical denomination in Sweden.
The Rev. Lasse Svensson was chosen in mid-January to head a new three-member team charged with completing the union of three small Swedish Protestant churches: the Mission Covenant Church, the largest of the three with 63,000 members; the Baptist Union, with 17,500 members; and The United Methodist Church, with 4,000 members. He was formerly the facilitator of a council pursuing the merger.
Svensson will be assisted in the new role by the Rev. Sofia Camnerin and the Rev. Olle Alkholm, both pastors of the Mission Covenant Church. Formal election of the officers will take place in May at the new church's first conference.
United Methodist participation in the church union was approved in late 2010 by the Northern Europe and Eurasia Central Conference. The move was overwhelming favored on a vote of 52 to 2.
Rev. Svensson, 40, became a pastor in 1997. In announcing the new management team, Ann-Sofie Lasell, chair of the Church Council for the Joint Future, said, "We believe that Lasse Svensson, Olle Alkholm, and Sofia Camnerin have the qualities to build our common future so that the new church may become an important voice in our society."
Sweden is predominantly Lutheran. Methodism arrived there in the mid-19th century and grew to some 15,000 members by 1900. Participation declined across the 20th century.

text: Obama's Leadership Vortex: 'Effective Manager' Poll Rating Down 33 Points Print article Send a Tip by Wynton Hall 28 Mar 2014 post a comment A stunning new CNN poll reveals that President Barack Obama's all-important "effective manager" rating has plunged 33 points since taking office. Political analysts consider the effective manager question a key factor for Independent voters who base decisions less on ideology and more on effective executive leadership. In December 2008, 76% of those asked said the phrase "can manage the government effectively" applied to Obama. In CNN's latest poll, however, just 43% answered affirmatively--a drop of 33% over Obama's presidency. Helping drive Obama's downward descent have been a host of executive leadership failures. In 2012, the Government Accountability Institute released a bombshell report based on Obama's official White House calendar that revealed the president failed to attend 56.2% of his daily intelligence briefings (known officially as the Presidential Daily Brief, or PDB) during the first 1,225 days of his administration. Moreover, in the critical week leading up to the Benghazi terrorist attacks and the killing of U.S. Libyan Ambassador Chris Stevens and three Americans, the White House calendar contains zero mention of Obama attending his intelligence briefing. More recently, a GAI investigation reported on in Politico Magazine revealed that in the over three-and-a-half years leading up to the Obamacare debacle, the president and embattled Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius held a single one-on-one meeting to discuss Obamacare. Sebelius disputed the report but never responded to Rep. Phil Gingrey's (R-GA) request for a dated list of the alleged secret one-on-one meetings between Obama and Sebelius, none of which appear on the White House calendar or the Politico presidential calendar. On CNN, former presidential counselor to presidents of both parties, David Gergen, said the GAI report and Obama and Sebelius's refusal to provide the list of one-one-one managerial meetings suggests that "there was no one in charge in the administration." Gergen added, "What seems to me is there's a case of near malfeasance here." Numerous unanswered Obamacare questions remain about what Obama knew and when he knew it. Indeed, as GAI President Peter Schweizer put it in his Politico Magazine piece, "The launch of HealthCare.gov will go down in the annals of executive management as a case study of failure. Obama must answer for his absence of leadership." The confluence of Obama's myriad executive failures are now taking their toll on Democrats heading into the Nov. 4 midterm elections. One Democratic member of Congress told the New York Times that Obama is now "poisonous" to Democratic candidates. Former Bill Clinton strategist James Carville says vulnerable Democrats like Sen. Mary Landrieu (D-LA) should avoid campaigning with Obama. Democratic pollster Celinda Lake advises Democrats, "don't defend it, say it was flawed from the beginning, and we're going to fix it." The new Associated Press poll finds that a record-low 26% of Americans now support Obamacare. Voters will render their assessment of Obama's executive leadership and managerial skills when they head to the polls in 221 days.

How Transparency Can Transform School Culture
Leaders who demonstrate a continual desire to learn and connect whenever possible help set a precedence of transparency and innovation in a school's culture.
By now, many educators understand that technology has the potential of transforming teaching and learning. But the term "technology" covers vast territory, and there are many different layers of tech and ways of integrating it from school to school. At times, where one kind of technology is appropriate and helpful in one school, the same tech can cause big problems for another.
How can learning to blog make a lasting impact on a 12-year-old boy living in a rough, East Oakland neighborhood? In the second installment of MindShift's My Education series, which examines whether technology in learning can have a lasting impact on low-income kids through the perspective of one child, the question focuses on Makeal Surrell, […]

And those laypeople are being courted like the last man at a Sadie Hawkins dance. As the USA Film Festival turns 30, annual film festivals in Fort Worth and Deep Ellum as well as niche-market movie events (Latino, gay and lesbian) have been launched, and the Shooting Gallery Film Series takes acclaimed indies to most major U.S. cities. Landmark and Angelika plan to open Dallas art-house multiplexes in the next 12 months. These realities, plus the fact that the burgeoning DVD format contains more in-depth, behind-the-shoot coverage than a live, 30-minute Q&A with a visiting director, make us wonder how Beth Jasper and the USA Film Festival staff plan to surprise us in the future. Like many movie fans, we've grown accustomed to having our most arcane fancies tickled by a variety of providers. The USA Film Festival needs to find a way to sweeten the deal before they can lure us back to making them a habit.
Don't be put off by the ponderous, "inner-journey" therapyspeak narrated by Mary McDonnell in the opening moments of Amargosa, director Todd Robinson's sweet and sad documentary about Marta Becket, a 76-year-old dancer and painter who operates a theater in the punishing heat and isolation of California's Death Valley. While the voice-over introduction prattles on about artists following their own light to the exclusion of worldly distractions, it's the details of those distractions that make Becket's story so poignant and, when layer upon layer is revealed, rather disquieting. Born and raised in New York City by a smothering mother and a vindictive father, Becket danced on Broadway and in nightclubs before happening upon an abandoned opera house surrounded by a modest settlement that used to house coal miners in the desert of Southern California. Becket and her husband decided to change their lives in mid-stream, from the morass of New York to the ominous emptiness of Death Valley, where she settled in to paint eerie, Renaissance-era audiences on the walls of the opera house. He eventually couldn't tolerate her obsession with the one-woman dance shows she choreographed and performed, at first to empty houses, and left her. Becket became even more insular, aligning herself with animal preservation causes (she freely admits humans are low on her preferred mammal list) and documenting the ghosts of the miners she believes haunt the settlement. Although Becket's talent for painting is obvious, we never get the sense of how good she is at her first love, ballet. Ultimately, director Robinson suggests it doesn't matter, and once Becket's past unfolds before us -- she has been abandoned by most of the important people in her life -- we get a firmer understanding of this eccentric loner than such documentaries usually offer.

take a look at the new sein models...wonder if the new pads will fit the 650.
take a look at the new sein models...wonder if the new pads will fit the 650.
It's hard to tell from that vid but it looks like those pads were a little more squared at the tops and bottoms of the oval, whereas the HD6x0 are more rounded.
Regarding lint/dust...it is a pain, but pretty easy to clean. If you don't want to bother with a lint remover brush or roller, you can keep a roll of masking tape handy and just tear off a 6" or so piece and make a loop with the sticky side out, put the loop around 3 fingers and you have a good tool to clean the lint off of your pads.
HE60 pads fit, they are leather and expensive.
I believe so, there was a guy with them on his 650's for sale about a month ago, they looked like a perfect fit. I checked them out but I just could not bring myself to spend 150+ for an unknown variable.
+1 I saw the same and made the same decision.
There was a link to buy the pads awhile ago, and it was $70 or $60.
Are these even worth looking although they are priced at $28.99 a pair.
The seams on mine are completely gone but at $80 a pair plus shipping seems pretty steep when one can buy a new winter coat for the same. .........
If you're on a budget the ones I received from the above link for $28.99 a pair arrived in 12 days and are fine.
OK, my pads from China arrived today,12 days not bad as I thought I'd be waiting till after Xmas.
Anyway they are well made and fit great, not too sure if they are any different than OEMs as my originals are almost flat and and the seams are gone.
But the new new pads do reinstate the sound stage and tighten the bass!
Now I can properly compare them with the HD700s that are on the way.
thanks for the link...they have denon velor pads too..interesting.
Hi guys, just signing in as today I received my HD650 and I am really happy!
Can't stop listening music today...
Enjoy...n welcome to the darkside :P
Wats next...a tube amp to tag along with your audiolab...:P
Thanks mate!
Yeah the tube amp is on my mind but I confess I still have to figure out how the connection would work with my Audiolab separates...
I know it's a stupid doubt but this is my first decent headphone setup.
As an alternative I should buy a headphone amp with DAC, in that case I could connect the Mac mini directly. But I would honestly prefer to enjoy my very good DAC!
I will have to figure out if I am missing something...
Mac mini>Audioquest Cinnamon USB>Audiolab 8200DQ> rca to a tube amp like crack..or some exotic tube amp?
Yes but the 8200DQ has only one RCA output (the other one is an XLR) which today feeds the power amp.
What should I do? Duplicate the output with some fancy connectors (oh no!), but even so, how would I avoid the signal going to the speakers???
Please if I'm saying something stupid tell me, and I will immediately make it disappear for the sake of my image on the forum
is there a switch where u can select between either outputing to RCA(say to a tubeamp to hd650)...
or to XLR(connected to your audiolab amp to Bowers spkr)?

The 11th Convention on Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) has ended in Quito with a decision to include 31 endangered species in its list, the executive secretary of the convention, Bradnee Chambers, said.
An environmental reserve in Brazil that four decades ago began gathering the surviving Golden Lion Tamarins has prevented the extinction of one of the most endangered species of primates in the world.
Marine conservationists are trying to rescue a group of endangered sea turtles which are stranded inside a Gujarat lake after construction of large road culverts blocked their entry into the Gulf of Kutch.
The number of bird species listed as Critically Endangered (CE) has reached 173 bird in the country as per the latest International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Birds for 2013.
Indonesia has double the deforestation rate in Brazil and has become the largest destroyer of forests housing some of the world`s most endangered species.
Many of the Caribbean`s coral reefs could vanish in the next 20 years, according to a new report which found that healthy coral reefs have declined by about 50 per cent in the past four decades.
Do you know that the current rate of extinction of the world`s threatened species - driven primarily by human activity - is roughly 1,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate, an alarming number that is likely to grow.
Urging the people to save the snow leopards from going extinct and with just 400-700 of them now remain in India, a leading conservation organisation says that this strikingly beautiful endangered species are in "real danger".
A survey carried out in the Manas National Park in western Assam last week has yielded results with the detection of the two highly endangered as well as elusive species like Pygmy hog (Porcula salvania) and Hispid hare (Caprolagus hispidus).
Scientists have revealed lemurs are on the verge of extinction as impoverished local people are hunting them, and also because their habitat is being destroyed.
Zambia is losing its elephants rapidly due to rising incidents of poaching.

The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) says Grevy`s zebra, a rare species, is in danger of becoming extinct if urgent measures are not taken to reverse the trend.
Marle and Digger may be small and cute puppies, but make no mistake, warns their handler Matt Williams: these 18-week-old dingoes are wild animals that would never make suitable pets.
Environmentalists hailed Monday a Chinese government ban on serving shark`s fin, bird`s nest soup and other wild animal products at official functions, saying it will set a precedent that will help protect endangered species.
The Great Indian Bustard has found a new abode in two rural tehsils here, prompting forest authorities to start tracking the movement of this critically endangered bird species for its protection.

Green River Narrows Race names winners in seven categories
At noon this past Saturday, 121 racers set off down the Green River Narrows in Henderson and Polk Counties. Battling cold November waters, paddlers fought for the top times in seven different categories: Long K-1 (single paddler – long kayak), K-1W (single paddler – women's division), C-1 (sprint canoe), K-1 hand paddlers, Short K-1, Short K-1W and open canoe.
The great divide: Issues of race, justice, opportunity discussed at YWCA election forum
The final question asked of Asheville's two mayoral and five city council candidates did not focus on the usual inquires raised during this municipal election. It wasn't about the economy. It wasn't about jobs. It wasn't about the police department — though it certainly touched on all of those topics. And it had nothing to do with the Asheville Art Museum. (Photo by Max Cooper)

We take another walk out to Recoleta, this time to visit the famous cemetery, surely one of the worlds more bizarre tourist destinations. The cemetery itself is very large covering 4 blocks and it is packed with over 6000 mausoleums and is almost like a small barrio of its own. The tombs are a bit of an architectural free for all with many styled like greek temples. Some are in great condition and some are literally falling down and we see more than a few broken coffins with their contents exposed
Last night we visited our first Tango show and Cafe Tortoni, one of the oldest tango cafes in Buenos Aires. It is just as we had imagined with waiters, all in their 60s buzzing around with trays of drinks and foods the only thing that is missing from the 1930s is the smoke filled room as BA restaurants, whilst not completely smoke free, do at least segregate smokers. We both like live music but have never really listened to any tango music before so this is a new experience for both of us.
The tango orchestra consists of a pianist, a violinist, a bass player and a guy playing a bandoneon (a bit like an accordion). We had popped into the cafe a few days previously and booked the 9.00pm show and as we were first on the list, we got the best seats right at the front on a table of four that we were to share with two others
The show commences with a tune from the band and then the dancers arrive. Now, we have watched Strictly Come Dancing (I am embarrassed to admit!) but seeing this dancing up so close and in such a small space was incredible. Both of the dancers were incredibly fit and flexible (how many women can touch the back of their head with their stilettos whilst still wearing them? The male dancer was just how I imagined a tango dancer to be with slicked back hair, wide lapelled suit and the tango shoes that were falling to bits just added to the overall, sleazy look. The music too was excellent and all of the musicians were incredible. Then came the tango singer, who, judging by the reaction of the Argentines in the audience was well known and a bit of a comedian was a real character and held the whole show together
Not long after we arrived in the city we met up with some Argentine friends, Alberto and Teresa, with whom I had been corresponding via a travel website when planning our time in Buenos Aires. Alberto has lived in BA all his life and has proved a mine of information. We arranged to meet up for lunch on a Sunday and prior to lunch he took us , along with some friends from California, on a whistle-stop of the city. The drive around the main areas on BA took around 30 mins and Alberto showed us the main landmarks so that we could get our bearing. This later proved invaluable as, although the city is built loosely on a grid system it is immense and all of the maps seem to be oriented differently (i.e. north is not always at the top - or anywhere else for that matter).
After lunch at Fervour, an upmarket parrilla in Recoleta, Teresa (Alberto is not driving himself because of a very recent knee replacement op), drops us of at the Sunday fiesta in San Telmo.
San Telmo is all about tango and antiques and is one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods
Tango-themed bars make up much of the entertainment in this area and Calle Defensa, the main street is lined with antiques stores and runs from north to south. It takes its name from the route Argentina's colonial army used to defend itself from a British invasion in the early 1800s (is there anywhere we haven't invaded??). As we are here on a Sunday the San Telmo Antiques Fair is in full swing. Not really interested in antiques we wander around watching the street theatre performers and street tango dancers and jazz bands. We happen upon one tango dancer who is well into her 80s and still performing every Sunday here (complete with slit skirt and fishnets) we recognise her instantly as she is pictured on many of the postcards we have seen around the city.
Many Porte�os still think of the neighborhood as dangerous, based on crime dating back to the 1990s, but the gentrification has changed the area completely
On our penultimate night in BA we are booked into Opera Pampa, a sort of opera on horseback, charting the history of the Argentine nation. Opera Pampa is held at La Rural, a big exhibition and conference centre, about a ten minute walk from our apartment. As we wander alongside the Botanical Gardens to the opera, Carolyn decides to count the number of stray cats living in the park and stops at 56, cats seem to be abandoned here and are fed by local women who are out in force with trays of food and bowls of water. clearly cats are not as popular as dogs here!
The opera itself is nice, but not as big a spectacle as we had been expecting, apart that is, from the horse riding which was amazing as the participants sought to recreate all manner of battles, between the colonial Spanish, Indians etc... The event was somewhat let down by its lighting (btw - apologies for the photos) which made it difficult to see parts of the show but it was enjoyable nonetheless. On the way back there are even more cats in the park (79). It has been a great month in Buenos Aires and, apart from seeing family and friends, I can't say we are looking forward to our flight back to England tomorrow......

Kristen Stewart Rocks Boyfriend Jeans As She Leaves New York
We've been following the Snow White and the Huntsman press tour pretty closely these past few weeks, and we often find ourselves wondering how the stars do it — flying from country to country and basically living out of a bag. Kristen Stewart left New York yesterday following her Today show appearance, and we spied her at JFK airport looking very cool in boyfriend jeans and a cute denim shirt. Nailing airport chic has become somewhat of an art form, but Kristen always gets it right. We hope she got some time to nap on the plane!

I used to think it was cool to have 2-3 computers on my desk, and various gadgets, etc. I am now setting up my new office, and I am thinking of going "minamalist". I am going to try to have as little as possible on my desk. I figure I need:
- Mouse
- Keyboard
- Flat Screen Monitor
- Speakers (maybe will mount on the wall so they are not on the desk)
- Printer (possibly on a table that is not on my desk)
- CPU (under my desk)
I will be removing:
- extra CPU
- extra monitor
- extra keyboard
- extra mouse
- pens and paper (will keep them in another place and get them when I need them

Aired on 01/18/2011
Episode: Denver
located about 65 miles north of Denver in Fort Collins. Renowned for its flagship ale, Fat Tire, it was the brainchild of Jeff Lebesch who was enjoying a beer-y trip through Belgium in 1989 on a mountain bike with "fat tires"
Guided tours are offered at 1, 2, and 3pm Monday through Friday and from 11-4 every hour on Saturdays.
The brewery uses wind energy (savings equal to 8 million lbs of coal), recycles waste products, uses sustainable lighting & hosts an annual Tour de Fat bike festival promoting biking as transportation
Each year, New Belgium's Tour de Fat events challenge people to trade in their cars for bicycles.
Better reserve weeks ahead for brewery tours.
Definitely do the tour.
This place has the best brewery tour in town. Be sure to make a reservation online ahead of time. They fill up quick ! Tasting room is now charging for full size beers, proceeds to charity.
Twenty years ago, New Belgium Brewing was a two person operation in Fort Collins, Colorado brewing the first Belgium beers in the U.S. Now they employ 410 workers and produce 700,000 barrels a year.
Always try something from the Lips of Faith Series. Fat Tire Super Cru is just one to name a few....
1554 is the bomb diggy
Send a fun coaster postcard to friends near and far. They are in a basket on the wall. They'll even send them for you.
Fat Tire, the brewery's flagship beer, was first sold via bike by the founder.

August, 1649
[28 August, 1649.]
What money has been raised by sale of Bishops Lands to 25 July, 1649.; Purchase moneys may be paid by Weavershall Bills.
The Parliament of England now assembled, finding upon due
examination, that from the beginning of the sitting of the Contractors for the sale of Bishops Lands, to the Five and twentieth
of July, One thousand six hundred forty nine, exclusively there is
paid and to be paid in ready money and Goldsmiths-hall Bills,
upon the several Contracts for Bishops Lands made by them
within the time aforesaid, the full sum of Four hundred twenty
three thousand seven hundred sixty six pounds fourteen shillings
and ten pence: And being fully satisfied, that the said sum,
together with the additional Security of the Excise in course (as
it now stands charged) is a visible and sufficient Security to the
Lenders of the first Four hundred thousand pounds, for whatsoever sum or sums of money can remain due unto them or any
of them, together with the growing Interest due for the same;
And being deeply sensible, how slowly the Bishops Lands are
now bought off, whereby a great Debt, with its growing Interest
and great Charge is continued upon the Commonwealth in
regard that the Purchasers of the said Lands are not admitted
to pay their whole Purchase-moneys by Weavers-Hall Bills, as
is now most just and reasonable: Therefore be it Enacted and
Ordained, and it is hereby Enacted and Ordained by this present
Parliament, That all persons who have made, or shall make
from and after the Twenty fourth day of July, One thousand six
hundred forty and nine inclusively, any Contract for Bishops
Lands, shall be admitted to pay all or any part of their PurchaseMoneys, due or to be due upon such Contracts, either in ready
Money, Goldsmiths-Hall Bills, or Weavers-Hall Bills, as well for
the Four hundred thousand pounds charged by Ordinance of the
Thirteenth of May, One thousand six hundred forty seven, as the
Eighty four thousand pounds charged by Ordinance of the Third
of June, One thousand six hundred forty seven, as the respective
Purchasers shall think fit: And the Trustees, Contractors and
Treasurers for Bishops Lands, and all other Officers and persons
whatsoever concerned herein, are required to take notice hereof,
and to act accordingly.

The following post is a step-by-step example of how I personally used REBT to reduce my recent anxiety.
I was told by my dentist that I needed to have my wisdom teeth extracted, and I immediately dreaded the thought of it. Although I'm not typically one to be nervous when it comes to dentists, the thought of getting my wisdom teeth pulled terrified me. After talking with friends, I only became more fearful of the impending misery and pain, and I knew that my anxiety was unhealthy. This was my thought process:
Step 1: Identify Beliefs:
First, I looked at the thoughts that were leading to my anxiety. I was mostly afraid of the sensation of my teeth being pulled (not even counting the pain). Simply put, I had been thinking that the sensation would be (1) so bad that (2) I wouldn't be able to bear it, and I might faint. Using Ellis' words, I was thinking it would be (1) awful and that (2) I wouldn't be able to stand it.
Step 2: Challenge the Irrational Beliefs:
As soon as I had the two irrational beliefs, I challenged them with the following disputes (they work the best for me, but maybe not for you):
For the (1) awfulizing, I disputed (a) logically and (b) empirically: (a) was it really logical to think that feeling my teeth pulled (painless or not) would be the worst thing in the world? Of course not. It would be uncomfortable, but awful is way too strong of a word. And (b) was advice from fellow REBTer Amy Horowitz, M.S.: Suppose I was surrounded by a group of terminally ill patients, each discussing their own issues, and I brought up that I was going to have my wisdom teeth pulled and would feel discomfort for a week. Evidence would show that getting four unnecessary wisdom teeth pulled is clearly not awful.
For the (2) low frustration tolerance, I disputed logically: would I really not be able to stand the sensation? Although I may actually faint from the anxiety, that doesn't mean that I wouldn't be able to stand it. Unless I die from the surgery (which I am confident won't happen) I would be able to stand it.
Step 3: Identify and Repeat Rational Beliefs:
Understanding the silliness of my current irrational beliefs isn't enough; I wouldn't really feel better until I had a better way to think. So, every time that I began to feel anxious from thinking that the sensation would be (1) "awful," I would say "that's not true, it is only unpleasant and uncomfortable." Likewise, I challenged the belief that I (2) wouldn't be able to bear it with the new, rational belief that, "although I will be uncomfortable (and may even faint), I will live through it and it will pass. It is only temporary." Although it was difficult to feel less anxiety at first, after repeatedly practicing the statements I began to internalize it. Although I am still concerned, I am happy to say that I am much less anxious about it.
Originally, I wrote this blog before I had the extraction. As an update: I was awake for the whole procedure, and although I could feel the pressure in my mouth, there was no pain at all. I did not faint, but even if I had I would have been okay. The oral surgeon actually said I was calmer than most patients, and commented on it during the surgery! In the end, I can truly say that REBT helped me, and hopefully it will help you too (if it hasn't already)!

Global financial firm JPMorgan has said it will cut up to 200 UK jobs.
The company confirmed on Monday that most of the cuts are like to take place at its Lydiard Fields facility in Swindon.
JPMorgan said the cuts are not likely to take place for another year and added that it was still planning what relocation or compensation packages it could offer to employees in the run-up to the date of the planned cuts.
Swindon South MP Robert Buckland told the BBC he would be seeking more detail about the planned job losses.
"I'll be making enquiries about the full extent of their proposals to get it clear in my mind precisely who is going to be affected locally and what can be done to help support any members of the workforce who are going to be made redundant or lose their jobs," Buckland added.
