Vote YES on Measure B
Posted By Submitted On October 15, 2013 @ 12:58 pm In Letters to the Editor | Comments Disabled
Editor: As I drive through the towns of Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Napa and the like, I cannot but hope and pray that our beautiful town of Sonoma does not turn into the sprawl of those cities. Please vote YES on Measure B and limit the size of hotels built in Sonoma. That is the only thing Measure B proposes. It does not impact traffic or increase taxes as supporters would have you believe. Once large hotels take hold, our small town character and charm will disappear! Please join those of us who are concerned about preserving our small town ambiance and who recognize the dangers of unlimited growth in our fine city.

Scientists are calling the rare giant squid found by a beach walker on a remote Australian shore "a whopper," and with a body alone that measures about six-and-a-half feet in length, who can blame them?
Giant squid are thought to live in depths of roughly 660 to 2,300 feet, feeding on other squid and fish. It's pretty dark a half-mile below the water's surface, which is likely why a giant squid's eyeballs have evolved to the size of volleyballs - the largest set of peepers in the animal kingdom.
This isn't the first cephalopod to rear its prominent head in recent years. Fishermen off the coast of New Zealand landed the first live colossal squid, the biggest squid known to man, back in February. Japanese researchers snapped the first photos of a live giant squid back in 2004.
The ocean is full of mystery and wonder as new discoveries are being made practically every day. With so much left to uncover, it's only natural we'd fight to save this brilliant ecosystem.

During the Second Seminole War (1835-1842), Lt. Colonel Benjamin Pierce first used the term 'savannah' to describe a series of ponds and marshes found here. In 1879, Captain Thomas Richards planted the first pineapples, grown from cuttings he transported from Key West. The plants thrived in the sandy, well-drained soils and dozens of plantations appeared along the Atlantic Ridge. From 1895 to 1920, Jensen Beach was known as the 'Pineapple Capital of the World.' The park encompasses more than 6,000 acres and joined the Florida Park Service in 1977.
Savannas Preserve is home to several pairs of American bald eagles. Visitors have the opportunity to observe these majestic birds as they hunt the waterways. Their nests and young are located in isolated areas of the preserve.
Savannas Preserve participates in prescribed burning to help maintain habitat and aid in the prevention of wildfire. Each fire is conducted under specified conditions to ensure participants' safety and achieve desired resource management results.
Savannas Preserve is one of the few known natural habitats in the United States for the endangered prickly apple cactus. It grows along the Atlantic Ridge in scrub areas. The fruit is considered to be inedible.
Volunteer participation is vital to Savannas Preserve. Their activities include, but are not limited to, educational programs, guided kayak/canoe trips, resource management, outreach programs and park work projects. It couldn't be done without them!

Clubbing Smokey Eyes
October 15, 2012 | 8 comments so far - join the discussion!
I know this tutorial was uploaded last week and you may have already seen it, but for those who haven't and missed it on my youtube updates feed, here it is!
I haven't made a tutorial in a long long time so I was actually quite excited to upload this look. I'm still getting used to filming tutorials so if I say "like" or "um" or "now" too much, please don't complain! #puppyeyes
I actually wear this look to most of my night outings because it is the easiest and the most neutral to go with all my outfits! Feel free to replace the shades I use with any other eyeshadows of the same tone. You can also replace the inner tear duct gold with a silver or shimmer shade of green/blue/yellow. Go play with the shades you have rather than go out and purchase :)
My go-to clubbing look!

Catalysis of the reaction: 6-O-phosphono-D-glucono-1,5-lactone + H(2)O = 6-phospho-D-gluconate + H(+).
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any carbohydrate, which includes monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides as well as substances derived from monosaccharides by reduction of the carbonyl group (alditols), by oxidation of one or more hydroxy groups to afford the corresponding aldehydes, ketones, or carboxylic acids, or by replacement of one or more hydroxy group(s) by a hydrogen atom. Cyclitols are generally not regarded as carbohydrates.
Catalysis of the reaction: beta-D-glucose + NAD(P)+ = D-glucono-1,5-lactone + NAD(P)H.
Catalysis of the reaction: D-glucose 6-phosphate + NADP+ = D-glucono-1,5-lactone 6-phosphate + NADPH + H+.
Interacting selectively and non-covalently with nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate, a coenzyme involved in many redox and biosynthetic reactions; binding may be to either the oxidized form, NADP+, or the reduced form, NADPH.
The process in which glucose is oxidized, coupled to NADPH synthesis. Glucose 6-P is oxidized with the formation of carbon dioxide (CO2), ribulose 5-phosphate and reduced NADP; ribulose 5-P then enters a series of reactions interconverting sugar phosphates. The pentose phosphate pathway is a major source of reducing equivalents for biosynthesis reactions and is also important for the conversion of hexoses to pentoses.
Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell or an organism (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of an alcohol stimulus.

I asked for it specifically at my local store, but it's not yet there nor have they been notified it seems.
Thread: Profumum Rosae Mundi
I just noticed that Treber posted on the Industry Discussion forum that this new fragrance has been released, but I haven't seen it mentioned here, so I thought I'd give you guys a heads up. Has anybody tried it yet? It's not at Lucky Scent yet. The notes make it sound like it could be a masculine rose, but the photo that Profumum is using to promote it appears to me possibly leaning more feminine. (Sorry to perpetuate these increasingly obsolete notions of gender, but my nose still has them.) Whenever anybody gets a chance to try it, please post your thoughts.
I asked for it specifically at my local store, but it's not yet there nor have they been notified it seems.
sorry was talking about Rosamunda, my bad
Last edited by à l'improviste; 5th December 2012 at 10:24 AM. Reason: wrong thread
Lucky Scent has this now. They are listing it as unisex on their scale. I'll be looking forward to hearing from people about this one. Unfortunately, I recently placed a large sample order, so it'll be a while before I place my next one.
Same here. I'm so broke now lol. I can't wait to hear the opinions on this one.
Top ten
1. Patou Pour Homme
2. Patou Pour Homme Prive
3. Portrait of a lady
4. Jubilation XXV
5. Cashmere Oud
6. Tribute Attar
7. Ambre 114
8. Clive Christian No. 1
9. Jardin d Amalfi
10. Eau de Patou Pour Homme
The description on LS site, althiugh they have not classified it yet, reads more feminine than masculine
Reminds me of Caberet. Not sure if I would spend the money when I can get Caberet for a song.
I've tried it and it reminds me of Caberet. For me both Rosae Mundi and Caberet are totally unisex.
Oh I didn't like Cabaret at all, there was an annoying note in the basenotes that I couldn't stand. Is it very sweet (the Profumum)?
"You are here to enable the Divine purpose of the Universe to unfold. That is how important you are."
-- Eckhart Tolle
Have to check it out!
I wore it this morning (only for about 2 hours - then I showered and wore something different). I don't find it feminine really (but that is very subjective of course). It is not nearly as deep and heavy as Tom Ford's Noir de Noir, but it isn't a light soft delicate one either. It is a very hight quality, well blended rose fragrance. It seems familiar - not anything mind-blowingly original, but very well done. after 30 minutes it really did sort of remind me a little of Lumiere Noir (which I recently purchased and love).
I will need to wear it a few more times to really get a feel for it, but the 1 time I wore it (for a few hours anyway), I found it very nice - and quite unisex.
Seasonal favorites:
1. Creed - Spice & Wood
2. Creed - Aventus
3. Dior - Vetiver
4. by Kilian - Incense Oud
5. Puredistance - Black
6. by Kilian - Cruel Intentions
7. Armani Privé - Oud Royal
8. Brückner - Aoud 1
9. Creed - Royal English Leather
10. House of Matriarch - Blackbird
I just ordered a sample. I'll report back when I get it.
Testing this at the mo coincidentally. The opening is a very familiar rosey bouquet mixed with white florals - very feminine by current standards.
It's settling down after about 30 mins and the woods are starting to show through. Getting mostly patch and cedre only a very little vetiver showing through. Far more unisex now.
I'm wondering if there's any iris and aldehydes in it. There's a waxy feel similar to ald + iris accords I've smelled before.
The rose isn't photorealistic - somehow it reminds me of a woman wearing a rose perfume than rose itself. The rose in Paris is an approximation.
Quite nice, personally I would prefer a different rose presentation but it does seem to succeed in it's intent. One for the rose lovers to test.
Oooh, I see Basenotes in double posting again.......
Last edited by laph; 13th January 2013 at 12:09 AM.
Just got a sample of it in my last LS order and while I have not tested it on skin yet, on paper like every other Profumum scent I have tried it did not impress. My guess is on skin my impressions will not change for the better.
Current Top Favorites:
1) Portrait of a Lady original formula (EdP Frédéric Malle)
2) Giorgio for Men vintage/V.I.P. for Men (Giorgio Beverly Hills)
3) Dia Man vintage edt (Amouage)
4) Anat Fritz Original Formula and Classical (Anat Fritz) - tie
4) Lalfeorosa (O'driù) - tie
6) Les Nombres d'Or Vetyver (Mona di Orio)
7) Captain vintage (Molyneux)
8) Tzora (Anat Fritz)
9) Javanese Patchouli (Zegna) - tie
9) Monsieur de Givenchy vintage (Givenchy) - tie
9) Coeur de Vetiver Sacré (L'Artisan) - tie
9) X for Men (Clive Christian) - tie
9) Patou pour Homme Privé (Jean Patou) - tie
9) Oud Shamash (The Different Company) - tie
I'm testing this now. I agree with laph that it starts out feminine, but gets much more unisex, I might even say masculine, in the drydown when the woods emerge and blend with the rose. I also agree that it smells familiar, but I can't quite place what it smells like. It has some similarities to Acteur - not just because it has a marked rose note, but it has a bit of a leathery quality in the drydown that reminds me of it. I think it's very good and very well made, but I won't be buying it. Acteur and Aramis 900 are sufficient for me when I want this kind of fragrance. However, if Acteur is one of your favorite fragrances, or you're just hugely fond of rose fragrances, you probably should give this one a try, but for me, it doesn't bring enough new (or notably better) to the table at this price point.
There is only one review of this in the Basenotes directory, so I hope to gather more opinions from Basenoters.
I am curious about this rose perfume. Does it act like a true chypre, despite not having stated oakmoss notes?
I received a sample from lucky scent and I was extremely impressed from initial testing. We have several rose threads on the board, but don't recall this one being mentioned once. Reminds of mfk lnph, but a bit more resinous.
Curious on others thoughts
Also received vanitas which smells nice but it's clear om just not into gourmands or anything to sweet and a lot of their frags are sickly sweet
Last edited by persianprince; 8th May 2014 at 04:14 AM.
I like it too. Did not think of the comparison to LNPH, which I also like, so now I shall try them side by side.
Also tried it from an unsolicited sample I received with a purchase and thought it smelled very pleasant.
Remember that while it is perfectly acceptable to criticize the content of a post - criticizing the poster is not.
Mean spirited, nasty, snide, sarcastic, hateful, and rude individuals don't warrant or deserve other individuals' acknowledgement or respect.
I'm also getting a bit of rose 31 as it settles down. If this stuff performs like others from this house this is a winner for me. Not sure of I need another rose frag but it's a mixture of all the rose frags I own.
Need to give it a full wearing
There are a couple of threads here
Last edited by lpp; 8th May 2014 at 10:02 AM.
I own a bottle and love it. I definitely get the resemblance to Lumiere Noire PH but it's much deeper than that. The performance is second to none also as with most of the Profumums. This is quickly becoming my favorite rose fragrance.
You may like to see my blog entry on this one. It doesn't have oak moss so it isn't a real chypre. But it wafts beautifully and has a similar feel.
See my blog; http://www.basenotes.net/blogs/2645-kumquat
Thank you, kumquat - I knew that you'd done something!
We're going to merge the two main threads as it's pointless running two.
I have posted my own humble review below. Cheers!
Its hard for me to believe that there is no bergamot in this fragrance, as the note seems clear to my sniffer! And the bergamot note is welcome, to, and contributes to an over all very enjoyable 'chypre' opening to Rosae Mundi.
About the rose note: it is rich and deep and somewhat earthy, without any of the grape juice/fruit juice notes that, for this rose gardener, ruin many rose fragrances.
The vetiver adds a green streak to the fragrance, while the patch, and cedar are relatively low key in the background.
Projection is at least moderate, but not gigantic, and longevity is very, very good. Two sprays to the nape of the neck will drop you into a rose garden cocoon for a good 14-16 hours.
This is my favorite spring rose, and a worthy contemporary chypre, despite the (published) lack of oakmoss.
At least, that's how I smell it! Enjoy!

Public Cloud Economies of (Web-)Scale Aren't About Buying Power
By Randy Bias on August 8, 2014
As you no doubt heard this week, Rackspace has announced the intention to focus on managed cloud. Inevitably this brought observations from many about RAX, and others, ability to compete effectively against the web scale public cloud giants: Amazon, Microsoft, and Google. One of the commenters was Mike Kavis (twitter link), a long time cloud pundit […]

Private cloud silliness

Private clouds are real. It's well past time to grow up and accept this. Not every IT workload is most logically run in a cloud, now or in the future.

Cloud Model 2014: Hybrid, Google, Brokerage, Startups and The Enterprise

In this interview I talk to Matt Heitzenroder, Co-founder of Orchestrate.io and previous general manager of Basho Europe, data nerd and love of data types. In this video he talks about the data types, data structures, schema or schema-less options, graph, stores and other ideas behind Orchestrate.io. He also jumps into what exactly Orchestrate's Mission […]

It takes me to new places, introduces me to interesting people, and teaches me about subjects I otherwise would have no knowledge of. I hold myself and my work to very high standards.

Arjun Kapoor Weight Loss – Before and After
About 4 years ago, Arjun Kapoor who makes his debut with Yashraj Films Ishaqzaade, was obese at 130 kilos. Without giving acting a thought, Arjun assisted Nikhil Advani for Kal Ho Na Ho and Salaam-e-Ishq.
It was during this time, that he met Salman Khan, who inspired him to act. The rest is history. Arjun lost 40 kilos of weight in 5 years and was eventually signed by Aditya Chopra for Ishaqzaade. The film, also starring Parineeti Chopra, releases on May 11th.
Check out the Before and After pictures of Arjun Kapoor.

ways to make money fast While online gaming is ver (go back »)
November 4 2012, 3:49 PM
Whilst online gaming is extremely well-known, it can also be costly. Numerous of the common online video games cost monthly subscriptions and these that are no cost to perform frequently have other charge affiliated. For case in point, the well-liked game Entrpia is cost-free to perform, but if you genuinely want to have accessibility to all the cool features you pretty much require to deposit dollars into the sport. So how are we gamers intended to shell out these costs?
World of Warcraft will charge you 14.ninety nine a thirty day period to subscribe and other MMORPG's (Substantial Multiplayer On the web Part Enjoying Online games) have very similar regular monthly costs. Two game titles that are free of charge to enjoy are Second Existence (not absolutely a match) and Entropia Universe, on the other hand there is a catch. easy way to make money While each provides cost-free perform they also permit you to get in video game currency and it is effortless to commit very a little bit in match if you want to update and have the most exciting. When I was actively playing Entropia it wasn't abnormal for me to spend $a hundred a thirty day period.
So, how do you shell out for your on-line gaming?
Most of us neglect the monthly subscription price given that it is so small. We basically acquire it for granted, but what if you are on a restricted funds? Or maybe you enjoy more than just one sport on the web. Pupils, component time personnel and all those of us who merely never have extra income can feel the pinch of the subscription charges.
After you start off to work at home get into a match like Second Existence or Entropia you happen to be sure to want to deposit to get your hands on the additional elite updates and toys available. A few hundred PED a thirty day period can go a very long way in the Entropia Universe.
Some individuals require portion time work or operate some overtime to shell out for their on-line gaming, but for some of us this just won't get the job done. Well, I have found an different that lets me keep on the net and helps make me lots of cash to pay for my on the net gaming. And it won't include farming gold in world and risking obtaining my account banned. And anyone can do this from everywhere in the planet. The only needs are a Laptop with an online link ways to make money fast and you need to be more than thirteen a long time previous.
For the past year I have been getting on the internet surveys to fork out for my online gaming. It is absolutely possibility free and this kind of an simple way to make some further dollars. No pyramid schemes or recruiting other people necessary. In just an hour or so a day I make a lot of cash to guidance each my WOW and Entropia accounts.
It can be no coincidence that there are so many web sites offering paying out surveys these days. Ideal now there are an approximated 7 million firms in the US on your own. Each 1 of these organizations will need opinions to find out what their buyers like and dislike about their recent items as well as comments on new products in development. And ways to make money they shell out more than forty billion pounds a yr researching the client marketplace.
Quite a few organizations applied to use telephone interviewing to get responses from their shoppers, but considering that the "Do Not Phone Listing" started out they wanted to discover new and uniques ways to get client opinions"Do Not Get in touch with Checklist" companies have been pressured to discover new approaches to get info about their customers and possible customers. Why? Making contact with somebody from the "Do Not Contact Checklist" can cost the offending organization up to $ten,000 in penalties and fines"Do Not Phone Listing" these businesses experience fines and penalties of up to $10,000.
So, they are now paying a large part of that about 40 billion bucks to do their research on the web. Substantially of how to make fast money the on the internet analysis is composed of free surveys for income and on the web emphasis groups. Simply because the businesses need opinions from genuine men and women they are eager to spend funds to you and me to get that straightforward comments.
It is a Win-Win scenario. Organizations get the market place investigation they need and we as customers get paid out to voice our views by taking cost-free surveys for funds. Every person profits from on the internet surveys.
All people revenue from on the internet surveys you, the study companies and the conclude purchaser. Even if you you should not sport on the internet you can use on the web surveys to pay for that subsequent good PS2 or Xbox match. Give it a try out nowadays and see why on-line paid out surveys are such a fantastic way to pay for your gaming.

Ski Wax
If you are reading this page, and you actually wax your skis, then congratulations, you are among the 3-4% of skiers that care enough about their
performance to actually do something about it.
Wax is a hydrocarbon material that is put on the bottom of a pair of
to lubricate the interface between the
and the snow.
The main reason to keep wax on
is to keep it porous to wax. Without it, it starts to oxidize and its amorphous (wax absorbing) regions crystallize. With a modern
about half of the surface area can accept wax, so, by adding more wax, you keep it that way.
Wax gives you the ability to glide faster, turn easier all while protecting the
of your skis.
Even if you don't wish to
very quickly, wax can still help you. First of all, a good wax makes it easier to turn, and thus control your speed. Second, by reducing the friction your
have against the snow, it makes it much easier to pole around the lifts, or to get going anytime you come to a flat spot.

Types of Wax
There are many different wax products available, but for the most performance, riders use a wax system that uses a solid
wax, usually a hardening powder near the edges by the binding, and a liquid wax overlay on top.
There are two different kinds of solid waxes that are available: rub on and melt on (most rub on waxes can also be melted on, but not all melt on waxes can be rubbed on).
Most powdered wax is sold in the form of hardening powder. It's a very special hard wax that is used to decrease abrasion and is great for very cold conditions. I personally use it primarily on the edges of my
under the
because that is where most abrasions occurs.
Most low fluoro paste/liquid waxes are cheap and are used as a substitute for solid waxes (but they don't perform as well). They are easy to apply and still offer
for your skis.
High fluoro liquid overlays are available for people looking for a really high performance glide. Because the price is so high (usually about 100 dollars for 50ml) it's only used during races.
Medium fluoro waxes also exist and are probably a good compromise between expense and performance for those looking for a liquid overlay on top of a wax job.
What kind of wax should I use?
That depends on the temperature, humidity, and type of snow. Generally, a harder wax is used in colder conditions, and a softer wax is used in warmer conditions.
Temperature is the most important factor. If you are going to
a wax to skiing conditions based on any one factor, temperature is it. Waxes are dyed, so it is easily discerned which temperature a given wax is good for. As a general guide, this scale works pretty well for matching temperature conditions to the wax:
Green (-26°F to 14°F)
Blue (10°F to 21°F)
Purple (18°F to 28°F)
Red (25°F to 34°F)
Yellow (32°F to 50°F)
Fluorination is added to waxes to help increase water and dirt repellency. Although this is increasingly important in humid conditions, a highly fluorinated wax isn't as necessary in dry conditions.
Some waxes include a solid lubrication, like powdered graphite, which helps further increase the wax's speed.
How do the different temperature waxes work?
A wax is a hydrocarbon, so that means in its molecular structure you'll find many carbon molecules bound together in a long chain. Usually each of these carbons will be attached to two other carbons, and a pair of hydrogen atoms that won't be connected to anything else. A straight chain of carbons with 2 hydrogens bound to each carbon is called "unsaturated." The more unsaturated a hydrocarbon is (or in this case wax), the lower the melting temperature of that molecule is.
Now, we can substitute different side groups on to the hydrocarbon chain, like methyl groups and raise the temperature. This process is known as "saturation."
Waxes that melt at a higher temperature are more saturated than ones that melt at a lower temperature.
When should I wax my skis?
I like to wax my
at least once a day, and even by the end of the day I can feel the wax wearing off. So it's my recommendation to use a paste or liquid wax (the quick and easy ones) at least once a day.
If you can't wax your
once a day, then do it as much as possible when you can. It's easy, takes only a few minutes, and the amount of performance you gain from it is huge.
Should I Wax Rental Skis?
This is a complicated question, it depends on the kind of performance you're wanting out of the skis, and the amount of time you want to invest making someone else's
run well. Chances are, that the
have ran for long periods of time without wax, and will not hold it very well anyway because the
has oxidized and crystallized (this is one thing to consider when buying a used pair of skis).
How Do I Apply Wax To My Skis?
For a complete guide on
how to wax
a set of
(or snowboard) see the Waxing How To.
Melt On
To melt on a coat of wax, set an iron to about 140-150°F (see wax for ironing specifications), then hold the wax gently against the iron and let it drip off onto the ski's
Spread it with the iron, then scrap it off using a plexi scraper. Lastly, texturize the
One application usually takes about 12 grams of wax.
This process is the best since it gets the wax deeper into the
than any other method. However, it's the most tedious, and if you set your iron too high, you could start to smoke the wax (if it has fluorination in it, then those fumes are toxic) and it's possible for an iron set too high to oxidize the ski's
which retards its ability to soak up wax.
Hair Dryer
The hair dryer method is good especially if you don't want to carry an iron with you. Simply heat up the
of your skis, then spread on either a paste wax or rub on wax (not a melt on wax), then go back over the
and make sure the wax melts. Then, scrape off the wax using a plexi scraper and, lastly, texturize it.
Rub on
Some waxes are capable of being rubbed directly onto a ski's
much like a crayon. Once you've covered the
of the
use a piece of cork (or the palm of your hand if it's clean) to build up friction and heat so that it melts into the
Let it dry, then scrape it off with a plexi scraper and texturize it.
This is by far the easiest method to apply wax with. Just smear the wax over the
of the skis, then let it dry for about 10 minutes to an hour (longer drying periods work better), then rub it in with a piece of cork. Lastly, scrape off the excess with a plexi scraper.
This method is by far the quickest and easiest method, but it offers the least performance and the wax rubs off quicker. Many paste waxes don't even require to be corked in, and can just be applied during lunch and ridden after you eat.
Another alternative use for liquid waxes is to put a high-fluoro overlay on top of a melt on wax to ensure that your
is 100% covered.

Three new beer books to make room for on the shelf.
All moved into your new apartment? Great, now just make room for three more books: Joshua M. Bernstein's The Complete Beer Course, "a boot camp for beer geeks," John Holl's The American Craft Beer Cookbook, featuring recipes from brewpubs and breweries across the country, and Tom Acitelli's The Audacity of Hops on the history of American craft brewing.
I want to give the Complete Beer Course to my beer geek friends. I also want to give it to my mom. It's that kind of book—a craft beer guide for the modern beer drinker, whether he or she is a big beer nerd or a novice.
Bernstein, a beer journalist and critic, covers beer in 12 courses: from the beer essentials to the different styles (starting with lagers and pilsners and ending with sour and wild ales) to cellaring and pairing beer with food. With the mix of beer style breakdowns, brewery profiles, and short sidebars,
you can read it from beginning to end as easily as you can flip open to any given page.
I've long admired Bernstein's succinct, snappy, and accessible beer reviews (on The Bruery's Hottenroth Berliner Weisse: "It's as if lemonade and Champagne had a love child") so the "Two to Taste" suggestions throughout will encourage you to put back a pint or two. For further reading, seek out his first beer American craft beer guide book, Brewed Awakening.
Holl opens his American Craft Beer Cookbook, featuring 155 recipes from brewpubs and breweries across America, with the idea that beer is not a second-class citizen to wine—that beer, with its complexities and style variations, pairs better than wine with food. That's the thesis of this book: although not every recipe uses beer as an ingredient, every one pairs brilliantly with beer.
Stunning photos accompany clearly laid out recipes, with a brief introduction and beer pairings.
I'm especially fond of the breakfast and brunch section, with recipes like Beer-mosas and Breakfast Pigs in a Blanket, and the desserts, where I drooled over Fresh Berries with Homemade Maple-Bourbon Whipped Cream, paired with a Lawson's Finest Liquids, beer like the Fayston Maple Imperial Stout.
Recipes aside, there are also short brewery profiles throughout and a Road Trips section with suggestions for breweries, brewpubs, bars, and restaurants across the country. You could take a trip—or you could just settle in with the American Craft Beer Cookbook and cook and drink your way through America's culinary craft beer scene.
The origin of modern American craft brewing is as hacked together as the first nanobrewery: A stubborn guy who took a risk and wouldn't let an old San Francisco brewery surrender, a man and two women who hacked together a brewery in Sonoma, a homebrewer who made and distributed a brewing magazine and later came to be a leader of the movement. It seems a miracle that it came together, and eventually flourished, like it did.
But it did, somehow, and that is what Acitelli's Audacity of Hops, on the history of America's craft beer revolution, beautifully illustrates. From the tenacity of Fritz Maytag's Anchor Brewing and the rise of Sierra Nevada, to Jim Koch's epiphany, to the emergence of contract brewing, to battles with big beer, Acitelli deconstructs American craft beer history in digestible chunks, chock full of (often funny and bizarre) details.
Read it if you want to understand the past, but also if you want to ponder the future of American craft brewing.
The Audacity of Hops reveals how history repeats, how small decisions and big risks spurred a movement, and how through it all the radical notion of good American-made beer persisted.

Five of the Governor's Energy Consultants Fired Over Conflicts of Interest
The Davis administration revealed last Friday that it has fired five of its energy consultants because of conflicts of interest involving their official duties and personal finances. These consultants were involved in purchasing electricity for the state from a generator in which they own stock. The law prohibits state officials from participating in decisions involving their personal financial interests. Guest host Terry Anzur speaks with Governor Gray Davis' Political Advisor Gary South and his Press Secretary Steve Maviglio.

Western Michigan University students who vote in Tuesday, Nov. 3 elections should enter the voting booth with a positive mindset.
There are two proposals on the ballot that require a simple yea/nay vote, and we feel both deserve to be supported with a resounding "yes."
The first would renew funding for Metro Transit bus lines within the city limits. On the block is a .6 mill levy that would keep the buses running for another three years. Combined with the .4 mill county-wide vote that passed this spring, taxpayers will actually be paying less than the 1.3 mill total seen in the past.
Metro Transit is a key program for the city that provides residents (and many students) with transportation for work, school and errands about town. Although funding for county-wide services such as Care-A-Van and Metro Van was approved in May's elections, another millage now must be approved to ensure the buses stay on route in the city.
Without a renewed millage, Metro Transit will find it difficult to continue operations within the city limits for much longer. We understand that money is tight these days but shutting down public transportation will only have a negative impact on the local economy overall. Not only that, but by supporting the transit millage we can ensure that thousands of our fellow citizens have access to a reliable means of transportation.
Metro Transit and WMU have worked together over the years to provide fare-free transport for students. It is time those students returned the favor by showing up to the polls and voting "YES" on the millage proposal.
The Kalamazoo Non-Discrimination Ordinance, also known by its blander title "ordinance 1856," does not involve a millage, or any taxes. All it aims to do is extend basic guarantees of equality and fairness to gay and transgender members of our community who still remain vulnerable to discrimination.
As it stands now, Kalamazoo residents can legally be fired from their job or denied housing on the basis of their sexual orientation. Ordinance 1856 aims to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity in matters of employment, housing and public accommodation.
Similar laws are already on the books in Michigan cities such as Detroit, Ann Arbor, Lansing and Grand Rapids.
Kalamazoo's gay and transgender community deserves the same opportunity to succeed as anyone else. While it is sad that such protection has to be explicitly legislated, it is up to individual municipalities to provide it.
One Kalamazoo, an organization that has been working in favor of this legislation, keeps its campaign headquarters in the Wesley Foundation, located in the Peace Center on campus. Anyone who has questions or wants to learn more about Ordinance 1856 and why it is necessary can visit any time before Tuesday between the hours of 9 a.m. and 9 p.m. On Monday, Nov. 2 there will be a rally outside the Peace Center to gather support for the Non-Discrimination Ordinance.
This ordinance was originally passed unanimously in 2008 by the Kalamazoo City Commission, but some members of the community collected enough signatures to require it be repealed and opened up to popular vote. The emotionally stunted backwardness of this outcry would be laughable if it weren't so heartbreaking. People actually protested an anti-discrimination ordinance, and won.
These opponents of non-discrimination — sorry, double negative, let's fix that – proponents of discrimination argue that employers and landlords have the right to choose who they employ or rent to. However, there is a long-standing precedent in America that we as voters can determine that discrimination against a group of people in such matters is wrong. This is one of those cases.
Opponents of Ordinance 1856 can shake their fists and yell at the 21st century to get off their lawn, but as soon as they step inside to catch that "All in the Family" rerun on TV Land the world will pass them by. It may even lap them. If we want to even attempt this whole post-modern, fair and just society thing progress must continue on Nov. 3.
Progress means a "YES" vote on continuing public transportation, and a "YES" vote for protecting gay and transgender civil rights. Take a few minutes on Tuesday, Nov. 3 to go to the polls and cast a ballot you can be proud of now and in the future. Vote YES.

So you've got your managed file transfer system in place. All of your data is locked tight and secure. But wait…there's another consideration. People.
Your end users may not have the technical savvy to use FTP to send a file, they may forget or maybe they just won't feel like it. You know there are many reasons end users skirt the system and cause sensitive data to be exposed.
Also, your end users are getting creative in how they send company data. They may use some of the popular consumer-based box services or their own email service. Both of which have serious security flaws.
So how do you stop the ad hoc file transfer happening outside of your data security plan?
The key to getting back control is convenience. Convenience is a big reason consumer box solutions are creeping into your environment. Lack of convenience is why a lot of your users don't use FTP to transfer their big files.
We understand the convenience factor and that's why we offer 2 easy ways to help you to secure your P2P file transfers:

Yon't expect to see Anjelica Huston and Tommy Lee Jones riding tall in the saddle in CBS' Return to Lonesome Dove the two original players have decided not to sign on for the latest roundup, which may air during the 1993-94 TV season.
Huston, an Emmy nominee for her performance in the 1989 hit miniseries set in the Old West, told a recent gathering of TV critics that she had passed on the planned six-hour sequel because the script ''had none of the magic of the original,'' which was based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Larry McMurtry. According to one insider, Jones also cited the script as the reason he was turning down the project.
What's wrong with the story? For one thing, it is being penned not by the Texas novelist but by John Wilder (Centennial). Although Huston didn't return calls, there might be a bigger issue at stake: Her character, strong-willed plainswoman Clara Allen, gets killed off in the sequel.
Jones' character, taciturn ex-Texas Ranger captain Woodrow Call, does survive. But Jones has a hot movie career again, thanks to JFK and Under Siege; he's currently filming the movie version of The Fugitive with Harrison Ford.
With Jones and Huston out, who'll take over? Insiders say the producer's casting wish list includes movie stars like James Caan and Gene Hackman for Woodrow and Glenn Close and Candice Bergen for Clara. A summer start date is planned.

Arkansas House Members Introduce Sensible School Lunch Act
WASHINGTON – Today, Congressmen Rick Crawford (AR-1), Tim Griffin (AR-2), Steve Womack (AR-3) and Tom Cotton (AR-4) introduced the Sensible School Lunch Act in the U.S. House of Representatives. The legislation will provide school districts with greater flexibility in implementing new rules for the National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program. The House bill is a companion to bipartisan legislation introduced in the U.S. Senate by Senators John Hoeven (R-ND) and Mark Pryor (D-AR). The School Nutrition Association (SNA) has already endorsed the Senate bill.
"USDA's new school nutrition regulations are not working and are leaving students hungry. In October, I hosted a Nutrition Summit in my district where I listened to school administrators, parents, nutritionists and teachers tell me how the nutrition guidelines are affecting their students," said Crawford. "The Sensible School Lunch Act addresses the concerns I heard late last year and gives individual school districts the flexibility they need to feed their students. I am proud to be joined by Congressmen Griffin, Womack and Cotton in co-sponsoring this common sense legislation."
"Washington's latest top-down, factory-like approach to school nutrition is a disservice to students and an affront to parents. Our legislation is a bottom-up, natural approach that allows parents and school administrators to decide what food options are right for their students," said Griffin.
"From state to state, from county to county, and even from school district to school district, no school, nor its students, is the same," said Womack. "The Sensible School Lunch Act grants those who know their students best the flexibility needed to give them the most nutritious meals possible instead of having to comply with the USDA's one-size-fits-all policy."
"As we've seen time and time again, a national one-size-fits-all strategy is not the answer when it comes to our school children—and their nutrition is no different," said Cotton. "This legislation empowers local officials to interpret national school lunch and breakfast nutrition guidelines according to their students' needs. I look forward to working with Congressmen Crawford, Griffin, and Womack as this legislation advances in the House."
In late 2012, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) released its final rule for the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010, requiring new standards for school meals. The final rule strictly limits calories, protein and grains for all students. Complying with the rule exceeded federal funding by a projected $75 million a year, according to the USDA, placing greater strain on school budgets.
The new regulations produced a flood of concern by parents, students, teachers, coaches and administrators. Major concerns were the expense of the program and the lack of flexibility for those students who have nutritional needs that exceed the strict calorie, protein and grains restrictions.
The USDA categorizes students into broad grade brackets for the purpose of nutritional needs, but according to their own rule, a 13-year-old eighth grader may eat no more protein than a five-year-old kindergartener, and a 13 year old may eat only one more ounce of grain than a kindergartner. Similarly, an active 18 year-old high school senior playing football would get no more proteins or grains than a less active 14-year-old ninth grader.
The Sensible School Lunch Act would allow more flexible portions of proteins and grains in the federal school meals program, while leaving in place the rest of the regulation, including the total calorie cap and its emphasis on fruits, vegetables, whole grains and non-fat dairy selections. At the same time, the total calorie cap remains in place to ensure healthy meals in proportion, and allowable fruits are increased as compared to before, and vegetable servings are unlimited.

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh feels Sergio Perez demonstrated what he is capable of with his feisty display in Bahrain.
Just a week after being told by Whitmarsh to "toughen up", Perez showed that he won't be a pushover this season as he went head-to-head with team-mate Jenson Button and also had some tussles with Ferrari's Fernando Alonso and Mark Webber of Red Bull.
However it was his run-ins with his team-mate that grabbed all the headlines as Button accused him of being "too aggressive" and urging him to "calm down" before something serious happens.
Team boss Whitmarsh admits he has a lot of sympathy for Perez as he is up against "a team-mate who is a maestro at understanding things", but feels the Mexican handled the situation on Sunday well.
"I understand what Checo has been going through," said Whitmarsh. "We haven't given either driver the car they should expect from us, and when you come into McLaren as a youngster, that is tough.
"Then you have tricky tyres, and on top of that a World Champion as a team-mate who is a maestro at understanding things and dealing with them, and performing like he has.
"Make no mistake, Jenson has set out to beat Checo every single race, so he has been up against it. That then becomes a media story and adds that external pressure, so all those things don't help.
"But on Sunday he dealt with it, and he will come out of it with confidence at a higher level."
Perez's sixth place in Bahrain was his best position to date for McLaren, but more importantly for those at Woking was the fact that he proved he is up for any fight after a difficult start.
"He demonstrated the passion, the spark that people expect to see from him," added Whitmarsh.
"I don't suppose Mr Fernando Alonso was ultra happy afterwards, nor Mark Webber, nor others, and that is what we expect and want from him, and that is what he delivered.
"That's what other people expect from him - that fire, that spark. You have to be careful because people asked me 'did you give him a kick up the pants after he got out of the car'?
"Personally I don't think that is the right way to treat someone who had just done what he did. Let them reflect on it, think about it, see it, and then you have the talk afterwards when everyone is a bit cooler about it."

Some more BCMA / MMA stuff from the local media.
Angry, loud CKNW commentator and possible Vancouver Mayoral candidate Bruce Allen jumped in with both feet yesterday and guess what? He does not like the British Columbia Medical Assocation's proposal to ban MMA in Canada.
Bruce has been a fan and supporter of MMA for a number of years so it is great to see him add his voice to the ever growing opposition of the BCMA's proposal.
Listen to what Bruce says:
Also Chris Parry from the Vancouver speaks once again on this issue in today's paper. His article is awesome due to his passion and ability to spell my name correctly.
BCMA continues firing at own feet. But at least they can fix the wounds.
Sharon Shore, senior manager of media relations at the BC Medical Association, doesn't have a high opinion of myself, nor Province scribe Michael Smyth, nor Prov MMA blogger Spencer Kyte, nor local combat sports promoter Dave Teixeira.
Hardly a newsflash for anyone who heard Dr Ian Gillespie's interview with Smyth on CKNW last Friday, wherein Gillespie, who wants MMA banned across Canada, admitted he hadn't actually ever seen an MMA contest, nor did he know the rules, nor did he have injury/death rates on the sport. But he'd still like to ban it. Obviously.
If you heard Teixeira and myself on CKNW on Monday, you would have heard us both reacting in a fairly gobsmacked nature that someone in such a high and responsible position wouldn't first watch a few minutes of the sport he wants to ban, or talk to some practitioners of the sport, perhaps some trainers, or even the ringside doctor from the recent UFC event, before going national with their push to ban. If they had, they would have heard unanimous opinions that say the opposite to what the BCMA assumes: That MMA is more violent than other sports and we should be protected from it.
Both Teixeira and myself suggested that the more sensible option might be for the BCMA to push the province to establish proper oversight of the sport, with more pre-and post-fight medical testing of fighters, and perhaps higher standards of ringside care. That's the sort of push nobody would complain about – ever. We want more of that. We're dying for that.
Instead, the BCMA is going into ultra-defensive mode.
From an email by Shore today, The only negative media we have received is from Mike [Smyth] and his pro-MMA Province co-hort Spencer Kyte."
She might want to keep more of an eye on the media – Teixeira has done 40 interviews since Friday, by his reckoning, and the story has been featured (either negatively towards the BCMA or in neutral terms) by Sportsnet, ESPN, TSN, Montreal Gazette, Vancouver Sun and the Province, among many others, according to Teixeira's observations on his blog.
She continued, "Our research consisted of lit reviews — of which there are few because the "sport" is so new." (Putting irony quotes around the word 'sport' really demonstrates the BCMA's even-handed attitude on the topic, doesn't it?)
She goes on, "Plus many of the studies out there have been done on behalf of the MMA franchise (not unlike drug effectiveness studies undertaken by Merck or Pfizer). The information we relied on includes the British Medical Association, which also calls for a ban of MMA sporting events; and the John A. Burns School of Medicine, Honolulu, Hawaii."
Interestingly, Sharon makes no mention of "watching MMA" or "talking to people involved in the sport." She wipes any research that backs the safety levels of MMA as being paid for by "the MMA franchise."
I assume by 'MMA franchise' she means the UFC, which to my knowledge has never paid for any research on the topic, but regularly quotes from a Johns Hopkins Medical School study that says it's safer than boxing due to the number of ways a fight can end early that don't involve head trauma.
The recent death of a fighter in South Carolina was tragic, but it came exactly because of a lack of pre-fight testing of fighters and, in this case, a fighter who was 6'7″ being allowed to fight severely underweight as a 155lb lightweight. Proper medical oversight might have determined he had a dangerously small amount of body fat, and that shots to the head would have done more damage as a result – all assessments that have been made in the post-fight investigation. The South Carolina situation is something nobody wants, but the BCMA would ensure it was the norm.
I didn't write a story about the BCMA ban proposal when it first came to light because, after discussions with editors at The Sun, we figured it was a non-story – "someone at the BCMA wants a media profile or is looking for some busy-work" was my first thought. But the story has stuck around, largely because the BCMA keeps on admitting to the fact that they put zero thought into this proposal, and the media keeps saying "seriously?"
So today I emailed Sharon the following:
If your people have read all the scientific papers on the topic, presumably they've seen the research in the Journal of Sports Science and Medicine, which said "it appears that basketball has a 10% higher injury rate than wrestling, 50% higher injury rate than boxing, and more than seven times higher injury rate than martial arts." (http://www.jssm.org/combat/2/11/v6combat2-11.pdf)
I also asked when the proposals for banning dirt biking, lawn bowls, softball, cheerleading and fishing are coming, since they're all sports with a far higher death/injury rate than MMA. I don't expect any answers will be forthcoming.
I train in the disciplines involved in MMA whenever I can, and that, combined with a change in diet and a weekly pick-up soccer game, has seen my health markedly improve over the last twelve months. But the BCMA doesn't want my thoughts on the validity of MMA, no matter how beneficial it has been for me.
Nor have they talked to fighters, trainers, the parents of the thousands of kids across the lower mainland who are getting in shape with MMA classes, or the seniors who I've seen rolling in jiu-jitsu classes all over town, or the men and women who are ensuring they can defend themselves against attack by learning how to incapacitate an attacker without throwing a punch.
They don't seem to have much of a problem about sports where there's a real risk of death or disfigurement (go see how many softball jersey-wearing Emergency Room patients there are at VGH every weekend, or the paralysis numbers out of cheerleading, or maybe check the figures on the number of people who die while playing lawn bowls). Instead, someone at the BCMA doesn't like MMA, was concerned that UFC 115 resulted in a few elite fighters breaking their hands/feet while throwing punches, and decided we should all just stop doing it.
Interestingly, while maintaining that the proposal is full speed ahead, Shore is also backpedaling on the proposal – not that it won't be delivered as promised, but that it really doesn't mean anything until doctors across the country vote on it, and that they might not even get that chance.
"This is one of about 20 resolutions that run the gamut of health and safety that the BCMA is bringing to CMA's conference. At the national conference, at least 200 resolutions from medical associations across the country will be discussed and voted on by doctors. There is no guarantee that this particular resolution will even make it to the General Council floor for discussion. Usually upwards of 300 resolutions are brought for discussion – not all of them make it because of time constraints. If this resolution makes it to the floor, is discussed and passed (or not passed) then that will be news. We did not seek out this recent media interest."
Hmm. 'We did not seek out this recent media interest.' That's weird, because also in Shore's email is this: "While you, Mike and Chris were busy telling local audiences that the BCMA must be retreating, has gone underground and is no longer taking media requests — we were busy doing national media."
So bottom line – the BCMA doesn't want the media they're doing, they haven't seen the sport they want to ban, they got no negative media except for people from both Vancouver dailies, ESPN, Sportsnet and even Montreal media, and they've looked at all relevant studies except the studies they don't like (which they assume were bought and paid for by 'the MMA franchise'.
Yes folks, this is what a gong show looks like.
Note to the BCMA: If you really want to do something beneficial for B.C. residents, push the province and the federal government to give doctors a seat at the table regarding how MMA is officiated, regulated and improved. That way, you're part of the solution, not the problem.

The images of the storm that visited the Philippines late last week are unimaginable, and the casualties, once they are tolled, will be worse. For now, the best that stunned onlookers can do is hope to help with aid and recovery.
Architecture for Humanity, a design-oriented nonprofit organization that aids in recovery efforts by working with architects local to areas visited by disasters, is mobilizing to assist the Philippines after the devastation brought by Supertyphoon Haiyan. The storm—considered to be the strongest in recorded history—bore nearly 200-mile-per-hour winds when it made landfall on Friday.
A Philippines government agency reported that the storm affected more than 4 million people across 270 cities and 36 provinces in the center of the country. Some affected people are still recovering from the effects of a powerful earthquake last month.
"We are currently in touch with local architects and partners within our network, who are helping us to identify the most critical rebuilding needs—both in the short and long term," said Eric Cesal, reconstruction and resiliency studio director of Architecture for Humanity, in a statement. "As we identify these needs, we will work with communities to build back better. Early support will allow us to begin working with communities immediately and empower local architects to drive recovery locally."
