According to conservative estimates, approximately 15 million people suffer from hay fever (allergic rhinitis) and 17 million more from asthma.
An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system overreacts to a seemingly harmless substance. Allergens are absorbed into the body by the way of skin, nasal passages, lungs, or digestive tract. Once inside the body, the allergens stimulate the lymphocytes (white blood cells) to produce what is known as allergic antibodies. The reaction between allergens and these antibodies is what produces inflammation of the nose, eyes, lungs and digestive tract. A stuffy nose, sneezing, wheezing, skin rash, watery eyes, nausea and stomach cramps are some of the common results.
The common allopathic or traditional medical approach is to reduce the inflammation with such medications are steroids. But this approach does nothing to get to the "root" of why the allergy is happening in the first place.
Adrenal insufficiency is a major cause of allergies relating to dust, pollen, animal hair/dander, foods, chemicals and environmental pollutants. Nutrition and stress play important roles in the proper functioning of the adrenal glands. A stagnant liver congested with toxins and fatty tissue cannot effectively then neutralize an allergic reaction.
Allergies can be overcome by simply treating the root cause of the problem. Addressing adrenal insufficiency and liver congestion are at the forefront of treatment. There are also some simple homeopathics that can help desensitize your body to the specific allergens. Either way, addressing the root of your allergies is nothing to "sneeze" at. It can help you be rid of that hay fever for good!
Naturopathic Physicians are trained as General Practitioners with extra added training in natural therapeutics. We see anything your GP would see from colds/flu, digestive difficulties, sleep disorders, fatigue, headadches, reproductive health issues, pain syndromes ect.
We focus on treating the root cause of the disorder rather than just the symptoms. For example, if you have a headache my focus would be to figure out why you have that headache (maybe food allergies, hormone imbalance, stress..) rather than just focus on pain medication. We do however have prescription rights and will use them only when neccessary.
We are integrative practitioners and work in conjuction with traditional MD's and just like any other physician many of us specialize(Oncology, Endocrinology, Pediatrics).
Our modalities include nutrition, herbology, homeopathy, Chinese medicine/acupuncture and IV/injection therapies just to name a few.
This is great info for folks like me who have tried just about anything traditional medicine has thrown at me for allergy relief. For those still exploring that side of treatment, you can visit http://health.nih.gov/result.asp/23
Besides allergies, where other types of conditions can be treated through naturopathic medicine?
May 8, 2008 - 9:46amDr. Cheryl Deroin of Scottsdale Natural Medicine & Healing Clinic (480.951.0111)
Very helpful. Thanks. The adrenal aspect of this makes sense to me as fatigue is the biggest issue I deal with during allergy season as opposed to major congestion, coughing, itchy eyes, etc. Will look into this. Also, found a great list of naturopathic doctors within a few miles of my home. Excellent. Do you know of a way I can check a naturopath's credentials and histories?
May 8, 2008 - 9:26amI would begin by checking with a Naturopathic Physician in your area (www.naturopathic.org) and get a proper diagnosis. Although adrenal insufficiency and liver congestion are very common disorders, you want to verify that this is indeed your issue. I know natural medicines like herbs are sold over the counter, but "Anything that is powerful enough to help you, can also be powerful enought to harm you."
Homeopathics are gentler and overall more safe, so if you feel you may need to "Detox" a bit. Consider Detox Kit, by Heel. It's a combination of 3 liquid homeopathics used to help with liver detoxification and congestion. Available at Whole Foods. I would still check with your physician or a Naturopathic Physician in your area to make sure this is the right route for you.
One thing that is benign and call always help is to use a Netti Pot with saline to cleanse your sinuses 2 x a day during allergy season.
Hope this helps!
Great information. What types of natural treatments are recommended for boosting adrenal insufficiency and liver congestion? What homeopathic remedies can help desensitize allergies? I am particularly interested in this topic as I have suffered with allergies for years and have tried shots, which weren't effective for me, as well as acupuncture, which lessened the symptoms, but I'm not sure if it necessarily 'treated' the cause in the same way you've explained. Please share more. Thanks.

Social Design Notes has collected a list of design manifestos from the past 100 years, largely drawn from Mario Piazza's presentation at the Più Design Può conference in Florence.
Since the days of radical printer-pamphleteers, design and designers have a long history of fighting for what's right and working to transform society. The rise of the literary form of the manifesto also parallels the rise of modernity and the spread of letterpress printing.

I am so surprised that no one has mentioned that this stuff removes nail polish. I bought this after getting a pixie cut and I loved the way it made my hair look, feel, and smell. I thought I had found my HG hair product, but soon after I noticed my polish was gummy and soft, so I removed it and put on clear Sally Hansen Hard as Nails, and soon noticed it was gummy too, right after I touched my hair. I don't know what is in this that makes it do that, because otherwise I love it. It's so much better than American Crew, which is what I switched from. Probably won't repurchase tho...It's sad.
This is one of my favorite pomades, the other one being Water Wax by Redken. However, the price is somewhat high. It does last a long time since you don't need much. I have curly hair and this does a great job of making it shiny and separating out the curls so it doesn't look as frizzy. Love the scent too. I would give it five lippies if it wasn't so costly.
The Aura brand version of this was good but the scent was offensive to my husband and eventually to me so I chucked it, broke down and purchased the Aveda pomade.
First thing I did before forking over the cash was to smell it. The scent was very light and close to being undetectable when applied. Next was the price....$18 for a 2.6 ounce tub....HOLY CRAP! A bit pricey but works so well. The packaging is very pretty with the cobalt blue tub but nothing groundbreaking.
I do like the way the tub goes "boing" when you tap it!!!
The price is the only this that would stop me from buying again.
Wow! Finally something perfect from Aveda. And a great new addition to my hair styling routine.
I've been "blessed" with long, curly, coarse hair, which, as you all know, can often become a frizzy mess. I put a dollop of this through my hair after running the iron through it, and it leaves the curls silky and wavy. Perfect! And well worth the high price. I'd pay $50.00 for this stuff.

This product is a lifesaver for my dry, very coarse and thick hair. It smoothes flyaways and tames frizzy hair. I used this on a summer trip to Japan and even in the extremely humid weather, my hair didn't frizz as it usually does. It's expensive, but as others have mentioned, a little goes a long way. I can get one bottle to last about 8 months. I imagine if you have fine hair this product might be too heavy or greasy, but with my type of hair, this is definitely an HG product for me.
More reviews by kittenheels911
I have finally found it--a FABULOUS product for my dry, thick, coarse hair! My brow waxer suggested this to me and I bought it, thinking I'd be disappointed. But I LOVE it! It's rather pricey but a little goes a very long way. I use this product during the day, when my hair is dry. (I use Biosilk Silk Therapy and Aveda Brilliant Universal Styling Creme when it's wet.) Just a little on the ends and it really helps. Plus it smells amazing!
When I had long hair, this was nice to use in dry weather to prevent static flyaway. Now I have short, straight hair, so I don't reach for this anymore.
PROS - Definitely makes my hairstyle look shinier. I like to mix a little of this in my hand with styling gel/hold product to amp the shine a bit, that works nicely.
CONS - Use sparingly! - there is a very fine line between soft shiny effect and greasy icky hair.
Overall - Distinct Aveda aroma. Actually, I'm not sure I really notice a difference between this and the Anti-Humectant version on my hair, but I do prefer the clear jelly texture of the Humectant over the the lumpy white mess of the Anti-Humectant. Looks and feels like a gel, feels cleaner and not oily on my hands like the Anti-Humectant pomade. Nice sturdy packaging, though I would like to see a travel-friendly version as well. Three lippies - nice scent, good shine, good flyaway preventative, but you have to be careful with the amount; I could live without this now that I have short hair.

I love this product and use it by itself, as well as layered with other products, depending on how I want my curly hair to look. It is light-weight and works so well! I love that I can apply it while my hair is still wet and my hair doesn't keep that "I-just-showered-and-my-hair-is-either-still-wet-or-really-gelled" look. A tip- NEVER start with the top of your hair with this; it gets a little greasy-looking. Always start scrunching from the bottom and work up.
I have been a consistent user of this delightful product and it has never let me down! The texture, the scent ( the scent!!!!) , the heavy blue jar, the shine, the curl enhancement.... it is incredible. I find it works best for my dry-ish fine curly hair is to use a small dab rubbed between my hands and to scrunch it in my dried hair. I takes away every frizz and fly away and adds such gleam. You do not need a lot, it will make it greasy if you have fine hair. My friend who has thick heavy horse-mane like hair uses a huge glob and that works well for her.
After reading some of the reviews and before writing this one, I had to go use a little... and yep... it's true. I love it! Hope you do too.

Bruno Pelletier (born August 7, 1962), is a francophone Quebecer singer.[1]
Contents |
Pelletier was born in Charlesbourg, a suburb of Quebec City. In 1983 Pelletier performed in the bands Amanite and Sneak Preview, which sang in English. He later started a group called Pëll, singing in French. At 23 years old, he moved to Montreal, where he sang in bars. In 1989, he participated in the rock competition Envol, where he was awarded a special mention. In 1991, he had a role in the musical Vu d'en haut, presented at the Festival of the Montgolfières in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu. The following year, he joined the musical spectacle Les fous du rock'n'roll, at which he has performed forty times.
In 1992, he released his first self-titled album in October and played the role of James Dean in the rock opera La Légende de Jimmy, by Luc Plamondon and Michel Berger in November.
In the summer of 1994, Pelletier was invited to participate in the FrancoFolies de La Rochelle. In September, he returned to the Mogador Theater in Paris to perform in Starmania until the end of the year, which he performed 400 times. He also recorded his second album, Défaire l'Amour, released in 1995. In 1997, his third studio album, Miserere, surpassed 200,000 copies sold. He also won the Félix Award for male singer of the year. At the same time, he appeared on the Quebec TV series Omertà II.
Between January and August 1998, Pelletier performed more than 100 concerts in Quebec. After that, he went to Paris to play the role of Gringoire in the Luc Plamondon-Riccardo Cocciante musical Notre-Dame de Paris. In 1999, Pelletier released his fourth album, D'autres rives, simultaneously in Europe and Quebec. During this period, he also performed the role of Gringoire in the English-language production of Notre-Dame de Paris in London. In 2001 he released a live album, Sur Scène. In August 2002 he released his sixth album, Un monde à l'envers.
During this period, Pelletier worked with the prestigious Symphonic Orchestra of Montreal for the series Les Week-ends pop de l'OSM. He united with the orchestra a second time in December 2002 to present a Christmas series, recorded as the album Concert de Noël.
In 2006, Pelletier played the leading role in the musical Dracula - Entre l'amour et la mort, a modern retelling of the Dracula story. The cast album was released in 2005. Pelletier released a jazz album titled Bruno Pelletier et le GrosZorchestre on September 11, 2007. He released his album titled Microphonium on February 3, 2009.
In 2011, Pelletier played the role of Napoléon in Michel Rivard's musical, Les Filles de Caleb.
On September 25, 2012, Pelletier released his eleventh studio album, entitled Rendus Là.
Pelletier is the spokesperson for La Fondation Canadienne Rêves d'Enfants and has said, "Being the spokesperson of the Canadian Children's Wish Foundation, I hold the well-being of the young people particularly to heart."[citation needed]

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
there are not many pixel fonts that work in flash & very few of those are italics or script style. so this is my attempt.
the quote btw is edgar allan poe
swf sample fla-script.swf (7 k) |
it's nice... the 'b' seems to stand out - in a good way though - moreso than others like the f,t,r.. and altogether it has a surprisingly hand-drawn quality to it
on another note it's interesting to look at that swf file at low quality and resize the browser smaller and smaller (or bigger), to see a couple different distortions happening
the first moment that it turns into a smaller font (from the way it looks presently) is interesting - I mean despite the distortion it retains some legibility but holds a far looser and almost arabic feel to it
thanks. i have made a few amendments - i think the t is now more interesting but not sure about the F does it read properly?
couple more changes - the k now reaches uplike the bar on the t and i flipped the s so it looks more natural. am i going forwards or backwards here? it's deffinitely looking a little more quirky than the first post.
btw i do like the way it breaks up when reduced - i may work on something similar, though to be completely legible i'll need a few more pixels to play with.

on your capital set it seems as if the 1st row on your grid should be shifted over 1 pixel to the left such as the capital Y is.
this stands out in capital B, D,H L , N (O's first 2 rows), capital P R, T, (capital U's 9th row move one bit to the left), and the first stroke on W's 9th and 8th row shift to the left.?
thanks guys.
tanya - not sure i exactly understood what you were saying, but i have slanted the caps more. also cleaned up a few other letters.
looks like you understood - it looks alot more oblique now.
eermm - except the W. is there a reason the first stroke is perpendicular?
A few comments:
Am I the only one who dislikes the new capital "F"? For some reason, it looks more like a 7 to me...but maybe that's just me. I wouldn't mind a rounded version of the original F, though.
I also think the x-height of the "h" should be increased just a bit, like the "k". "the" looks rather strange to me.
And the newer "r" looks too short, for some reason.
Other than that, though, great work...
I quite like it... But I'm sure there's a reason for the lack of slanted pixelfonts.
The lowercase "t" is way too high.
ok. i'm working on the international chars. the offensive F and t have been relegated to alternatives (though i quite like them - particularly the t which makes the x-height roll up & down)
im not sure why there aren't more slanted pixel fonts - i guess it's a limited market. there are a few that work well on screen (eg. georgia) but there should be more. those that use flash will know what a pain it is getting legible small copy (flash always anti-aliases text, and pixel fonts have to be specially designed to work properly).
Slanted bitmap fonts have the most to gain from anti-aliasing (and also ClearType). But not the way any software currently does it.
I would think about other markets too - flash developers are a small group to be creating for.
a bitmap oblique font could be used on wireless devices, palms, phones, or stock exchange tickers, reuters etc etc.
thanks for all the help people.
here are a couple more samples.
if anyone wants to download the font for testing that would really help - especially the international chars. let me know if anything stands out (weird accents, kerning etc)
mac users will need the pc2mac thingy:
tanya - i really created this for my own use, i wasn't thinking about a wide distribution, though i agree there are still many uses where pixel fonts excel. having said that... if anyone here works for nokia and wants to negotiate a licence...
Has anybody tried a bitmap font at a 1:1 (45 degree) slant?
I'm intriqued -- since this is for your own use,
do you see yourself using it in long blocks like
you've shown above?
I'd be curious what the use is and would love to
see it set like that here. (Subheads, short, narrow
paragraphs, links etc. as opposed to these long
Your most awkward characters (like that f still) could be
avoided if you don't try to achieve subtle angular
nuances with your strokes. (Also, see how d and l are
subtly different. Does this bother anyone else?)
Finally, the b. I can see you're trying to
maintain the even color by not connecting the
stroke. A good thought. But it still bothers me --
it looks like a mistake.
This is nice. Keep it coming.
no i wouldn't use it for long texts. i had in mind bullet points and short descriptions that kind of thing - like quick handwritten notes.
(similar to the 'You will upload your
file' on the left of this page)
don't bother with Nokia - SVG is taking over the cell phone world.
Xerox and IBM however - have that inkless, rewriteable newspaper project underway. (Wired amg article circa 1995) I'd imagine they'd be interested seeing in how Oblique sets, bold and so on are needed in news worlds.
kudos for creating for yourself though
> SVG is taking over the cell phone world.
Are you sure? I haven't seen SVG take over anything at all... What are you basing this on?
Joe, with this example I'm starting to see the potential! Good going.
i just saw jonathan hoeflers chancery italic here:
awsome. i feel about 2" high.
SVG take over: It only makes sense. Especially where Bitflash comes in - its not fully out yet but Bitflash is starting to sell the idea B2B.
Anywho - Joe, so what, you got a diff typeface.
> It only makes sense.
Unfortunately, historically, making sense hasn't helped much. Otherwise we'd all be using Amigas now.
> i feel about 2" high.
That's MY line....
Hrant asked:
>Has anybody tried a bitmap font at a 1:1 (45 degree) slant?
The strong slant gives it a "scripty" feel :/
This was a 2-bit experiment, part of a set
of "45-degree experiments" (a detail here).
These were loosely based on Verdana.
Hey, nice! And it's grayscale - heavy.
> The strong slant gives it a "scripty" feel
But this might be necessary to pull the italic away from the roman, since so little leeway is available in bitmap fonts.

OPTION B: Another machine option for shrugging? If your gym has one, try using a flat-bench press machine, straddling the seat and taking a handle in each hand.
OPTION B: You can also do this lying on the floor in front of a lower cable pulley, which allows you to keep your legs flat and out of the way of the range of motion.
OPTION B: Calf raises can also be done on a hack squat machine, by hanging your heels off the bottom edge.

Granier picks up another offer
By Corey Dowlar
Whether he realized it before,
Bailey Granier
(Galliano, La./South Lafourche) can be certain now -- he's got an offer from Florida State.
Late last week, offensive line coach Rick Trickett dropped by the school to check on the 6-foot-6, 350-pound tackle to make sure he knew they were interested.
"Coach Trickett, the offensive line coach, they stopped by the school," he said. "I talked to him and he said, 'You know you have an offer, right?' I told him I didn't know that. I was pretty surprised. I am always surprised when stuff like that happens. I want to get some dates from the school for camps and see about visiting."
Now with offers from the likes of Alabama, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt, FSU is right in the mix, he said.
"That definitely throws them in," Granier said. "I do like the coaches. Trickett has a tremendous record as far as coaching goes. He told me about the linemen making All-Conference honors.
"I want the best coaches there to give me the best opportunity and best player I can be."
Alabama, Mississippi State, Vanderbilt and now most likely FSU, will get visits this summer from the big lineman.
He's got a plan to see the schools, facilities and the surrounding areas all in one swing.
"I am just going to one-day camps," Granier said. "When I go there, I am going to spend the night there most likely and get to know the city. That's a big part. I need to know that I am going to like where I am living."
Granier said that he has no favorites at this early stage, but he'd like to make a decision prior to the beginning of his senior season.

What is the latest year a remastered album has been issued?
When did the mastering ideas and digital recording tech catch up to the point of the original master being sufficient, and not really requiring a remaster? Anything post 199?
In some cases, is remastering nothing more than a marketing gimmick to get consumers to repurchase albums they already own?
Doesn't the recording and mastering process of the time link it to the era in which it was originally pressed? Therefore, as an unintended consequence, can't remastering an album take away from the uniqueness of the era in which it was first released?
Are there any remasters which you've found inferior or "less listenable" than it's original?

Xavi: "Winning el Clasico is like having an orgasm"
At odds with his teammates' and coach's code of silence pertaining to anything that is related to the upcoming match against Real Madrid, Xavi Hernandez granted El Mundo Deportivo an interview on Monday that reminisced the biggest bi-annual clashes Barcelona have had to play this past decade.
2000-01 | The return of Figo (2-0)> Figo's first Clasico at the Camp Nou [after his defection]. I've never seen such hatred on a football pitch. There were some strong emotions and I distinctly remembered how Puyol did a great job marking Figo, and it was a good game for me too.
2001-02 | A draw with my goal (1-1)> Real came with Zidane, Bechkam, Ronaldo, Figo … and they were a level above us but we got a draw, and could even have won it. I was fortunate enough to have scored the equalizer.
2002-03 | The day of the piglet (0-0)> A day when we deserved to win. That match was made memorable for the piglet's head that was thrown onto the pitch when Figo was about to take a corner kick. Some said it was a bad game but I think we were the superior side and deserved to win the match.
2003-04 | los Blancos superiority (1-2)> This was Rijkaard first year in charge, and Madrid, that year, was superior. There's nothing else to say because they were the better side.
2004-05 | Cyclical Change (3-0)> It was a season of change. The end of an [first galaticos?] era. We had already won 1-2 at the Bernabeu in the first round. [At the Camp Nou] it was 3-0, and for the first goal, Eto'o 'owned' Roberto Carlos.
2005-06 | Injured and suffering (1-1)> I didn't play because of an injury, and I remember that I suffered a lot. I saw that we could win it; we went ahead with a penalty for a Roberto Carlos fault on Van Bommel. I thought we would win it by 2 or 3 nil but then Ronaldo poked the ball past Victor. Madrid has always been able to conjure up something.
2006-07 | The emergence of Messi (3-3)> I remember that with one man down, after Oleguer was expelled, Messi ended a spectacular move to get the equalizer after Sergio Ramos had made it 2-3. That match was Messi's.
2007-08 | A Clasico to forget (0-1)> It was a debacle. I remember that it was the last match to be played just before Christmas. It was an awful Christmas for us. We didn't know what happened, but that year we seemed exhausted. In the end, we rather too easily surrendered the League title to Real Madrid.
2008-09 | An under-performing Madrid (2-0)> Madrid seemed like a small team, closely packed at the back. I was surprised by it. I remember that it never stopped raining and we were very impressive.
2009-10 | Ibrahimovic's goal (1-0)> It was said Madrid had improved, but despite Busquets' expulsion, we were on top of Madrid, not only at the Camp Nou but also at the Bernabeu.
Best Clasico played at home.
The 3-0 win [2004-05], both on a personal level and collectively. We suffocated them the whole match. I remembered, along with Deco, we said to ourselves "we're going to take charge of this match, the whole match." Physically, we were better, and it was a great match for us.
Worst Clasico played at home.
2003-04 because we had a sense of inferiority … They came with Beckham, Zidane, Roberto Carlos … They were superior and we felt powerless.
If you were to have a dinner appointment, who would you choose to go out with, Mourinho or Cristiano Ronaldo?
To have a talk about football… of the two… perhaps Mourinho. He has a lot more experience.
Player that you have had to struggle to cover.
Zidane. He was just spectacular. He showed you the ball and you thought you could steal it from him, but then he switched it to his other foot. He's was the 90's and early 2000's best player.
Player that frustrates you the most.
Makelele. He was very resilient. When you saw him approaching, you thought: "this guy is going to nick it from me". As did Redondo.
The goal you will never ever forget.
In the Bernabeu [2004-05], and what that goal meant. In the last minute, and it was the push that cemented the end of an era.
Best advice you received before a Clasico.
That of Guardiola's: "Enjoy ourselves but don't abandon our philosophy."
Comments from a rival.
I was 18 and I remembered there was a 'coming together' at the Bernabeu, Raul then approached me and gave me a slap, and said, "Hey, calm it down." I was dumbfounded. He was pulling rank over me, something we also did to Madrid's young players.
A match that you would have liked to forget.
The 4-1 at the Bernabeu [2008]. Not because of the scoreline but for the sense of powerlessness that we felt on the pitch. I guess that's how they felt with our 2-6 win [2009].
The Clasico that you remembered the most as a spectator.
The two 5-0. The one played here with the 'Dream Team' [1994], and then the reverse 5-0 the next year with Laudrup playing there. As a cule, I suffered a lot but it was a great match up.
A Clasico is comparable to a…
An orgasm when you win (laughing). It's like gambling your [hard-earned] money in the casino. If you win, your heart skips a beat, but if you lose…
If you were to decide, who would you sign from Madrid?
My two friends, Iker and Xabi Alonso. But only to add to the squad, because neither can be better than what we already have here.
A Madrid player that you admired the most.
Raul, by far. I still have a good relationship with him. And Hierro too, who would be my choice for a captain. He is an incredible person even if the image that he transmitted does not correspond with reality. Over here, they loathed him a lot.
Worse Refereeing.
Perez Burrull, during the 4-1 defeat [2008], for the penalty he gave Madrid for a non-existent Puyol foul. And that of Losanto Omar who ruled out Rivaldo's goal, but in hind sight it was the linesman fault, not him. With Undiano, we have always done well.
Regarding the 2-6, considering the margin, what image of that match has stuck with you since?
The feeling of superiority. You could see them talking to [accusing] each other, and it showed on their faces. On the other hand, we felt we could score another goal with every move we make.

Ardbeg Galileo
October 15, 2012
Ardbeg certainly loves their special releases. I have always enjoyed the Corryvreckan (which is actually a regular in the lineup, not a one-off release), and I thought Alligator was intriguing. I'm starting to wonder though if these bottlings might be more marketing stunt than cutting-edge whiskymaking. I mean, a rocket? C'mon. And just look at the silliness on the Galileo webpage. Do they mention the whisky? What's in it? No. But you can upload a picture of yourself with a spacesuit helmet on! Anyway. Continuing with the theme of their one-distillery space race, Ardbeg has released a ~12 year-old vatting of ex-bourbon Ardbeg and (cool!) Sicillian marsala wine cask-aged whisky at a bold 49% ABV. I am actually a big fan of marsala, so I was hoping those nutty oxidized-wine notes would translate.
Nose: Lot of vanilla. Light brown sugar. Cereal. Very mild peat – this is Ardbeg?
Palate: Sharp, piquant peat. Vanilla & caramel. Hefty burn. Some wooksmoke (fruit wood – like applewood chips smoking). A little lime juice on the tail end.
Finish: Not too bitter. Peat shows through (finally) on finish.
With Water: Becomes very perfumey, like a room full of vanilla beans drying.
Overall: Lots of vanilla. Easy drinking, for an Ardbeg, but not much else to recommend it. I was 100% unable to identify the marsala. This is a particularly sweet, aromatic whisky with a very muted peat profile. If someone handed me a glass, I can honestly say I would enjoy drinking it. Alas, the total mistranslation of the marsala cask (I would have said this was 100% ex-bourbon), and the special-edition hoopla seriously undermined the experience for me. I would say this whisky is not worth the (exceptional) effort required to secure a bottle. (Although K&L still has some in stock for $95, while it lasts.) My low rating shouldn't be taken as a denouncement of the flavor or quality of this whisky – but as a statement on the value for the money. A self-conscious $50 pricetag would have warranted a Recommended score.
About The Distillery
East of Lagavulin and Laphroaig on the southern coast of Islay, Ardbeg is known for being among the most heavily-peated single malts made. Their Uigeadail and Supernova (>100 ppm) bottlings push the envelope on palatable levels of peat (measured in Phenol parts-per-million, or ppm). Ardbeg's water travels a long journey, first from Loch Uigeadail, which is the highest loch (~250m) in the quartzite hills of Islay. The water flows over hard quartzite, via the Ardilistry River, into the man-made Loch Iarnan. Finally, the soft water flows over heavy peat bogs to the distillery via the Ardbeg Burn. Like most [all?] of the other Islay distilleries, its malted barley comes, by specification, from the maltings at Port Ellen. Ardbeg used to have its own kiln-fired maltings, which were unusual due to a lack of a fan in the roof. This caused a heavy, tar-like influence of the peat smoke, which added to the inherent peat character in the Islay water. The maltings was closed in 1977, so Ardbegs casked before the late 1970s should still exhibit that old characteristic tar and smoke.17 Responses to Ardbeg Galileo
I was at K&L a few weeks ago and picked up a bottle. Ya it is pricey, but I've read some reviews that suggest it improves in complexity as the level drops and a little oxygen gets in there. I dunno, I guess I'll see how it goes.
I've sure seen a lot of varied reviews on this new Ardbeg. That being said, it's still Ardbeg and probably still going to be delicious, even if it doesn't live up to the full Ardbeg potential. Having so many great bottlings may actually be hurting them at times…
Just picked up a bottle for $64 BT and hope it is as good as the other Ardbeg's. I love Corryvrecken and Ten and like Uigeadail, so I'll soon see where it fits with these. I wouldn't have paid more than $80, unless it had stellar reviews, as there are other really good whiskies that are below that price.
Well, I have to agree with The Noob. Definitely "Try Before Buy". Will let it sit a month or more and check for any improvement. Very different palate and nose reminded me of Laphroaig.
I guess this shows the differences in tastes. I tried this two weeks ago and think that it is not only the best Ardbeg I've got, it is on my top five list for all Scotches. I love the evolution that it goes through in the glass and I really like every stage of that evolution. I agree that the peat seems missing at first but after a few minutes it comes on. Like I said, just a difference in tastes…
I will chime in with a "differences in taste" comment here. This is one of my all-time favorites, and I enjoy a wide variety of scotch from the heavily peated through the honey and heather range. For me, the balance of the vanilla/fruit and the signature Ardbeg peat really works, and I agree with Jim that the evolution in the glass is fascinating. It's a chameleon dram that others have called "un-integrated," but that I just call "amazing."
YMM *definitely* V, seeing the strong variance in opinions on this whisky. "Try before you buy" indeed.
I think most whisky drinkers would be more curious about the time in the Marsala cask (mentioned in tiny print at the bottom of the box) than they are in the association with space travel. I'm as fascinated by space travel as anyone, but unless we're talking about a certain starship engineer named Montgomery Scott, I don't associate space travel with whisky. This was a very odd marketing move by the normally polished LVMH, but I suppose it worked – I just picked up a bottle.
Oh, by the way, I was reading an interesting interview with Bill Lumsden about this one:
The two most interesting things from this interview, at least to me, were the fact that 1) there was a failed attempt at a Glenmorangie Tokaji finish, and 2) he tried to finish a whisky in a non-oak barrel. The Scotch Whisky Association wouldn't let him do it. His argument for why he could was that the applicable regulations only require three years aging in oak barrels, but that they don't say you can't age them in some other species of wood after that. Apparently, that didn't fly with the SWA.
Just tried some Edradour Ballechine #5, which is not marsala-finished – it's matured entirely in marsala cask. Never expected to see that. It's not as good as the Galileo unfortunately. It's too heavily peated – I'm a big believer in peat playing nice with other flavors (with Lagavulin being a great example of peat harmoniously integrating with everything else). This stuff just lets the peat take over and you can barely taste the fruity tartness buried beneath the smoke flavor. You can tell it's similar to the Galileo, but it's not as good. And it costs just as much. If Galileo disappointed you, you may want to pass on this one.

The self drive parking service is open 24 hours a day, every day and is handicap accessible. Why not try parking at the Four Points Hotel next time you fly from LAX?

Last time We parked our car at this parking lot, someone stole registration sticker from our car. We like this parking lot but this experience made us think it is not very safe place to park.
It was a good experience. Everything went smooth and fast. One of the attendens went out of his way to get me to my car while I was so tired from the trip. I greatly appreicated that.
Parked at 4 points Sheraton at lax - discounted price was honored. No issues.
There was only one parking space available (and it was very small) at the location we selected - LAX Four Point Sheraton. Had another car been before us, we would have had a hard time findiong a space and may have missed our flight. We felt like the lot with the hotel guests and airport parking was oversold.
Extremely disappointed that it took the Sheraton Four Points Van over 45 minutes to pick me up from the airport. I could have walked back to the hotel in less time! The description states that the shuttle runs every 20 minutes. Your competitors vans made at least 3 round trips while I was waiting for my pick up. I will not be using this service from this hotel again again
Great discount! All went smoothly :)
Great convenience; the only way to fly in and out of LAX.
All personnel was very kind and courteous. Might consider shuttles with more frequency?... maybe 15 min and not 25 min? Very good service anyways.
All was convenient, price very reasonable, short distance to the airport, etc. So, other than the long wait for the shuttle to/from airport to Sheraton 4Points (where our vehicle was parked). The wait was 30+ mins. each time. I'll consider the yellow van with dots next time. Thanks!
I chose this parking lot because it was closer to the airport, and that it was a hotel, so there would be people to meet with regarding the parking.
I would never use Four Points Sheraton again. Have to park at hotel, search out parking info desk, pay in advance for entire trip, move the car to the outdoor, uncovered parking, and no help with luggage. lAX Hilton is the best although shuttles are less frequent.
I have used this service at the 5959 W Century Blvd location for two years with no issue. That location was booked for the holiday and I had to use Sheraton Four Points. This is the worst experience ever. It took forever to confirm a parking spot when I arrived and the shuttle took ONE HOUR when I returned from my trip. Will NEVER USE THIS LOCATION EVER.
We loved the service and the convenience and the hotel personnel were extremely courteous and helpful!
Nervous at first. Wasnt sure if it would be safe, I was wrong! great place to park. I will always park here in the future. Great customer service. all staff is very friendly.
Smooth sailing on the front end. Arrived grabbed ticket, front desk was fast. Shuttle to LAX at 5 am was fast...returned 7 days later (12/18/12 7PM), shuttle to Four Points was non-existent for over 30 mins. Waited in cold for as other shuttles passed multiple times from each park service. Shuttle finally arrived. Vehicle was fine upon arrival which was what I really cared about. But a faster shuttle would have made this a higher rating. Another plus was the price, which was $11 a day, pretty much best rate for a safe lot.
I was not impressed with Sheraton Four Points and don't plan to ever park there again. It was confusing to figure out where to park. The directions said go to the front desk. They said when I return. No one could tell me when the shuttle had been there last. When I returned, they were confused on how to have me pay.
I was disappointed by the experience. It took me 30 mins to get from the airport to Four Points which was less than a mile away. The shuttle went all the way to Westin and then came back. I spent another 10 minutes in queue waiting for the registration desk to issue my parking pass to get out. I am NOT coming back to this lot again!
I parked at the Sheraton Fourpoints. When I checked in at the front desk on my departure day, the staff person gave me a ticket she said would open the gate on my return date, but that ticket did not work, I had to push button for assistance at unattended exit gate and fortunately security person just believed me that I was legit and remotely opened the gate since there were other cars waiting behind me.
Return shuttle picking me up from the airport to go back to the hotel took longer than 15 minutes.
It took a long time to be picked up at the terminal. Many of the same hotel buses past buy but few were for the Westin and Four Points at LAX. The problem is when you get a ticket you have to wait in line at the hotel desk until all the people are given their room before they will wait on you. The same when you pick up your car. We are all on a time schedule and cannot wait to be handled by a front desk check in. I will not use four points again as the other parking lots have someone to wait on you. Otherwise I will go back to using lot C.

Concierge.com's insider take:
The tombs of the pharoahs' queens, daughters and princes were dug into the rock of a small but beautiful valley west of Deir Al Medina. The most famous, that of Queen Nefertari, wife of the powerful Ramses II, was restored in the 1980s and is the most brilliant colored tomb in all of Luxor, but it can only be visited by private arrangement with the Supreme Council of Antiquities (which charges a four-figure fee per person) because it's extremely fragile. The tombs of the young Princes Khaemwese and Amonherkhepshef, both sons of Ramses III, contain moving scenes of their father leading them by the hand to the afterlife, introducing them to deities and making sure they respond correctly to ensure their passage.

"The rain held us down a couple of days, so we had to go into the gym," Mahand said. "We still got some much-needed work done in the gym. When you don't get the opportunity to go outside you don't get the opportunity to work on your passing game, so you try to polish the run game as much as you can to make sure people are going into the right direction and block the right people. We still got some good work in."
The Tigers (1-0) defeated TC Central 36-0 in the season opener last Friday. Mahand knows if they are fortunate to keep winning the games they are going to get tougher each week.
" We can't sputter," Mahand said. "We had a situation a couple of times that we had backs to go the wrong way in the first quarter. We had a couple of blown blocking assignments. As the weeks go on the teams we face are going to get better each week, so we have to continue to get better. Like I told the boys we can't be satisfied with where we are. As the weeks go by and the Lord continues to bless us to have some success then people are going to be more aware of what we are capable of doing and they are going to practice harder for us. You are going to have to get better because people are going to expect you to give more challenges during the game than you have in the past. We just have to continue to get better from week to week."
Mahand said he has been impressed with his skill players and his offensive linemen last week against TCC.
"I have been extremely impressed with all my skill guys," Mahand said. "I have been impressed with Justin Kelly and I have been impressed with Domanic Johnson's play. I have been impressed with Ahmad Gooden, LaDerrick Stamps, Brandon Wilson and my quarterback play. I have been impressed with them, but I have also been impressed with my offensive line. The skill guys are just making plays, but they are making plays because the offensive line is opening up holes for them to run through."
Ramsay played their first varsity football game since 1976 last week. The Rams' fall to Fairfield 16-6 in their season opener. Mahand knows that the Rams are going to be tough if they allow them to stay close.
"Ramsay is a young football team, but they are very energetic," Mahand said. "Fairfield has a strong tradition, with Coach McCracken leading Fairfield you would think that they would manhandle Ramsay with their experience and guidance. They have been playing football since elementary school, so they should dominate a school like Ramsay, but Ramsay gave Fairfield all they wanted to have. They are very active and they are very feisty. If don't get a hold on them fast you are going to find yourself in a dog fight, because they are not going to give up very easy at all."
Mahand feels like if the Tigers play their brand of football they can leave Mary Dumas Stadium with a 2-0 record for the first time since 1991.
"We are getting to the point now where I can start saying the key to our victory is we are going to have to play Talladega football," Mahand said. " We are going to have to play the football that we are capable of playing. If we play the football that we are capable of playing, then, we can come away with a win."
Kick off is set for 7 p.m. from Mary Dumas Stadium in Talladega.

Conti outlines her 2012 bills
Jennifer Smith
Rep. Kathleen Conti, R-HD38, told visitors to her town hall at the Littleton Center Wednesday about the four bills she's sponsoring this legislative session, two of which focus on the education system.
HB12-1118 would open contract negotiations between school districts and teacher unions to the public. Conti feels that since taxpayer money is at stake, the meetings should be transparent.
"I just think it's the right thing to do," she said.
Currently, most negotiations are exempt from open-meetings laws, including those with fire and police unions and those surrounding land purchases.
Another, titled "Concurrent Enrollment for Students Who May Complete High School Graduation Requirements Before the End of Twelfth Grade," would require school districts to offer such seniors the option to either continue taking high-school classes or to enroll in college classes while still technically a student at the high school. Conti said the idea is for the district to pay a discounted rate to the college, using money it already receives from the state to educate the student.
"This is going to be a great way to give those kids a chance in the spotlight and an opportunity to shine," she said.
She's also sponsoring a bill to increase the penalty for a hit and run to the same level as a DUI, closing what she calls a close a loophole in the law that encourages drunk drivers to go home and sober up, then confess to the hit and run later. Currently, "It's in your best interest to flee the scene," she said.
Finally, Conti wants the Public Utilities Commission to report annually to the legislature regarding any rate adjustments it makes so that the reasoning behind them is on the record.
"There doesn't seem to be any end in sight," she said.

MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
Top Performers
Passing: M. Sanchez (NYJ) - 230 YDS, 1 TD, 2 INT
Rushing: A. Foster (HOU) - 29 CAR, 152 YDS, 1 TD
Receiving: J. Kerley (NYJ) - 5 REC, 94 YDS
EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- Thanks to Arian Foster, the Houston Texans are still undefeated -- but they very nearly let this one slip away.
Foster ran for 152 yards and a touchdown, and the Texans are 5-0 for the first time and defeated the New York Jets for the first time in team history, hanging on for a 23-17 victory Monday night.
More From ESPN.com
Yes, the Texans improved to 5-0 against the Jets, but could the injury to Brian Cushing derail Houston's Super Bowl chances, asks Paul Kuharsky. Blog
Mark Sanchez's play, and all the gimmicks, indicate the New York Jets can't compete with the elite, writes Johnette Howard. Story
• Stats & Info: Inside rushing key
• AFC South Blog | NFL Nation
• Jets Blog | ESPN New York
With a chance to lead the Jets on a winning drive, Mark Sanchez was intercepted by Kareem Jackson on a pass that tipped off the hands of Jeff Cumberland with 1:51 remaining.
"You got to give yourself a chance to win and we did that tonight," Sanchez said.
The Texans (5-0) joined the Atlanta Falcons as the NFL's only teams without a loss.
"Arian stepped up and played huge," quarterback Matt Schaub said. "We're very excited to be 5-0 and get a win on the road."
The Jets (2-3) were heavy underdogs after coming off a 34-0 loss to San Francisco last week, but made a game of it. Backup quarterback Tim Tebow got the crowd fired up at times throughout the game, including running for a first down on a fake punt, but had little impact otherwise.
Houston overcame a 100-yard kickoff return by Joe McKnight that cut the Jets' deficit to 20-14.
Schaub was 14 of 28 for 209 yards and a touchdown to Owen Daniels, winning his ninth straight game -- the longest active streak in the NFL -- dating to last season. Daniels finished with four catches for 79 yards for the Texans, who have just their second five-game winning streak in team history.
"It's definitely our best start," Daniels said, "and a big part of that is it doesn't matter on this team about stats or individually what is going on. It's great to be a part of something like that."
The enthusiasm was tempered, though, by a left knee injury to star linebacker Brian Cushing that coach Gary Kubiak said he was "very concerned" about.
Foster Reaches Milestone
Arian Foster reached 5,000 career yards from scrimmage on Monday in his 40th game in the NFL. Only two players in league history reached 5,000 scrimmage yards in fewer games.

"I don't know what happened," Kubiak said. "They tell me he cut on a play and his foot might have got stuck in the turf."
Nick Folk's 21-yard field goal with 11:55 left made it 23-17, but the Jets appeared as though they would get more.
"I honestly thought we were going to drive down the field and score a touchdown" on the last drive," wide receiver Chaz Schilens said. "It's not going the right way."
Sanchez hit Cumberland for 24 yards on first down, and then Jeremy Kerley for 36 yards two plays later. Then, Tebow came in and took the direct snap -- with Sanchez lined up as a wide receiver -- and rumbled up the middle for 13 yards to make it first-and-goal from the 3. The crowd at MetLife Stadium went wild, sensing a chance at Tebow's first touchdown since being acquired by New York in March.
Tebow stayed in but was stopped for no gain. Then, Sanchez -- who has been under fire with many calling for Tebow to take his starting job -- had a pass tipped by J.J. Watt and it was incomplete to Schilens in the end zone on third down.
Foster walked untouched into the end zone for a 13-yard touchdown to give the Texans a 14-7 lead with 11:11 left in the first half. He gained 42 yards on three straight carries on the 67-yard drive, and had 100 yards on the ground at halftime on just nine carries.
The Jets threatened late in the half, but Sanchez's pass was tipped by Watt and went off Kerley to Brice McCain, who ran back the interception 86 yards before Kerley caught him at the New York 9.
Shayne Graham made a 27-yard field goal as the half ended to make it 17-7. He added a 42-yarder late in the third quarter to make it 20-7.
McKnight got the Jets right back into it with his 100-yard kickoff return -- his second of his career -- to cut the Texans' lead to 20-14 with 4:38 left in the third quarter. McKnight sped up the middle, cut to his left and ran out of a shoulder tackle attempt by DeVier Posey and dived into the end zone.
New York attempted an onside kick, but the ball went through Schilens' hands and Shiloh Keo recovered, giving the Texans the ball with good field position.
Schaub hit fullback James Casey for 30 yards to quiet the crowd, but the Jets' defense held the Texans to a 22-yard field goal with 13 seconds left in the quarter.
Off The Mark
Mark Sanchez was picked off twice by the Texans on Monday night. The Jets QB now has 15 career games with two-plus interceptions. That ties him for the second-most two-plus INT games in the league since 2009, Sanchez's first season.

Ryan Fitzpatrick | 17 |
Mark Sanchez | 15 |
Drew Brees | 15 |
Eli Manning | 15 |
The Texans opened the game by scoring on an efficient 8-play, 85-yard drive capped by a 34-yard touchdown catch by a wide-open Daniels less than 4 minutes in. Daniels, who earlier gained 14 yards on a screen pass, got wide open behind the secondary as New York's safeties both bit on a play-action fake by Schaub.
New York then went three-and-out, an all-too-common series for the Jets this season -- as chants of "Tee-boww! Tee-boww!" started after Sanchez's first incomplete pass on second down. Tebow made his first appearance on the Jets' fifth play from scrimmage and, to a wave of cheers, threw a pinpoint deep pass to newcomer Jason Hill. But the receiver dropped it, Tebow departed and Sanchez missed Clyde Gates on third down, bringing on a chorus of boos.
Jets coach Rex Ryan promised his defense would be sturdier than in last week's rout at the hands of San Francisco, and after Houston's scoring drive, it was. Cromartie stepped in front of Andre Johnson and picked off Schaub's poorly thrown pass on the Texans' third possession, then gave the ball to his wife in the stands.
Four plays later, the Jets tied it for their first points in two weeks -- a 27-yard TD catch by Cumberland.
Sanchez zipped a pretty pass to Gates on first down for a 27-yard gain on the scoring drive. After a 2-yard run by Bilal Powell and McKnight got 1 yard, Sanchez threw yet another terrific toss to Cumberland, who caught the ball over Quinn, bobbled it and tucked it in as he fell to the turf in the end zone to tie it at 7 with 4:07 left in the opening quarter.
Tebow got the crowd going when the Jets went for it on fourth-and-1 at their 24 on the first play of the second quarter. The do-it-all backup quarterback took the snap and ran off left tackle for 3 yards. But the drive fizzled with three straight incompletions by Sanchez.
Game notes
Cromartie held Johnson to one catch for 15 yards and Johnson also had a drop. ... Jets C Nick Mangold left early in the third quarter with a left ankle injury, but returned later in the period. Jets backup receiver Clyde Gates injured his left shoulder and his arm was in a sling after the game. Linebacker Josh Mauga had his right arm in a sling afterward. Jets defensive tackle Kenrick Ellis injured in a knee in the fourth quarter.SPONSORED HEADLINES

Silicon, used to make some of the earliest photovoltaic (PV) devices—is still the most popular material for solar cells.Silicon must be refined to a purity of 99.9999%. In single-crystal silicon, the molecular structure—which is the arrangement of atoms in the material—is uniform, because the entire structure is grown from the same crystal. This uniformity is ideal for transferring electrons efficiently through the material.
To make an effective PV cell, however, silicon has to be "doped" with other elements to make it N-type and P-type. The crystalline of a material indicates how perfectly ordered the atoms are in the crystal structure. Silicon, as well as other solar cell semiconductor materials, can come in various forms: single-crystalline, multi crystalline, polycrystalline, or amorphous. In a single-crystal material, the atoms making up the framework of the crystal are repeated in a very regular, orderly manner from layer to layer.
In contrast, in a material composed of numerous smaller crystals, the orderly arrangement is disrupted moving from one crystal to another. One classification scheme for silicon uses approximate crystal size and also includes the methods typically used to grow or deposit such material. The absorption coefficient of a material indicates how far light having a specific wavelength (or energy) can penetrate the material before being absorbed. A small absorption coefficient means that light is not readily absorbed by the material. Again, the absorption coefficient of a solar cell depends on two factors: the material making up the cell, and the wavelength or energy of the light being absorbed.
Solar cell material has an abrupt edge in its absorption coefficient. The reason is that light whose energy is below the material's bandgap cannot free an electron. And so, it isn't absorbed. The bandgap of a semiconductor material is an amount of energy. Specifically, it's the minimum energy needed to move an electron from its bound state within an atom to a free state. This free state is where the electron can be involved in conduction. The lower energy level of a semiconductor is called the "valence band.
And the higher energy level where an electron is free to roam is called the "conduction band." The bandgap (often symbolized by EG) is the energy difference between the conduction band and valence band. N-Type Silicon – N-type silicon is created by doping (contaminating) the Si with compounds that contain one more valence electrons* than Si does, such as with either Phosphorus or Arsenic. Since only four electrons are required to bond with the four adjacent silicon atoms, the fifth valence electron is available for conduction.
silicon is created by doping with compounds containing one less valence electrons* than Si does, such as with Boron. When silicon (four valence electrons) is doped with atoms that have one less valence electrons (three valence electrons), only three electrons are available for bonding with four adjacent silicon atoms, therefore an incomplete bond (hole) exists which can attract an electron from a nearby atom. Filling one hole creates another hole in a different SI atom. This movement of holes is available for conduction. The photon's energy transfers to the valence electron of an atom in the N-type SI layer. That energy allows the valence electron to escape its orbit leaving behind a hole.
silicon layer, the free electrons are called majority carriers whereas the holes are called minority carriers. As the term "carrier" implies, both are able to move throughout the silicon layer of the solar cell, in the P-type silicon layer, electrons are termed minority carriers and holes are termed majority carriers, The region in the solar cell where the N-type and P-type Si layers meet is called the P-N junction. As you may have already guessed, the P-type silicon layer contains more positive charges, called holes, and the N-type silicon layer contains more negative charges, or electrons.
When P-type and N-type materials are placed in contact with each other, current will flow readily in one direction (forward biased) but not in the other (reverse biased). An interesting interaction occurs at the P-N junction of a darkened solar cell. Extra valence electrons in the N-type layer move into the P-type layer filling the holes in the P-type layer forming what is called a depletion zone.
The depletion zone does not contain any mobile positive or negative charges. Moreover, this zone keeps other charges from the P-type and N-type layers from moving across it. So, to recap, a region depleted of carriers is left around the junction, and a small electrical imbalance exists inside the solar cell. This electrical imbalance amounts to about 0.6 to 0.7 volts. So due to the P-N junction, a built in electric field is always present across the solar cell. When photons hit the solar cell, freed electrons (-) attempt to unite with holes on the P-type layer.
The P-N junction
A one-way road, only allows the electrons to move in one direction. If we provide an external conductive path, electrons will flow through this path to their original (P-type) side to unite with holes. The electron flow provides the current ( I ), and the cell's electric field causes a voltage ( V ). With both current and voltage, we have power ( P ), which is just the product of the two. Therefore, when an external load (such as an electric bulb) is connected between the front and back contacts, electricity flows in the cell, working for us along the way.
This electric field works as a diode, which allow electrons to flow from the P side to the N side, but not to other way around.
The basic concepts of solar cells and the requirements for photovoltaic solar energy conversion are reviewed. All present solar cells are found to follow the same principles. they consist of an absorber embedded between layers with selective transport properties, semi permeable membranes for electrons on one side and for holes on the other side. Their structure is shown to be a consequence of the absorption and transport properties of the materials.
Good transport properties of the absorber allow planar geometries as in Si solar cells, whereas bad transport properties require an interpenetration of the semi-permeable membranes as in the Graetzel cell or the organic solar cell.

Loggers with illegally cut, highly quoted cedro tree (Cedrela odorata) in the lowland rainforest along the Rio Las Piedras, Peru.
Butchered stumps lie in the trail of an illegal logging operation in lowland rainforest, near the Alto Purus Reserved Zone, Madre de Dios, Peru.
A global problem with considerable environmental, social and financial impacts, illegal logging is a multi-million dollar industry going on in over 70 countries - from Brazil to Canada, Cameroon to Indonesia, and from Peru to Russia. This hugely profitable activity is fuelled by high demand for timber in the EU zone and in countries like Japan and the US, and in emerging economies such as China.
In its wake lie damaged forests, reduced populations of threatened species and sometimes forest communities dispossessed of their traditional land rights.
In order to combat illegal logging and improve the management of valuable and threatened forests, WWF has initiated the Global Forest & Trade Network (GFTN).

He began teaching in the English Department at Temple University in 1964. He taught courses in Victorian Children's Literature, Victorian Novel, British Survey, the Short Story, Modern American Novel, American Playwrights, and Folklore. He was awarded two Fulbright Fellowships to Europe, one at Lund University, Sweden, and one at Odense University, Denmark. He edited Ann Preston's Cousin Ann's Stories for Children and Charles Kingsley's The Water-Babies: A Fairy Tale for a Land-Baby.
A committed citizen of the university, Professor Beards in his forty-nine years at Temple University served on a number of departmental and college committees. He was Secretary of the Faculty Senate, member of the Executive Committee for the College of Arts and Sciences, editor of the newsletter for the Pennsylvania Historical Photography Group, and a member of the University Fulbright Evaluation Committee. He was also Director of the Master of Liberal Arts Program from 1983 to 2000.
Presenting scholarly presentations in France, Turkey, Canada, Sweden, Denmark and all over the United States, Professor Beards shared his knowledge of Thomas Hardy and D. H. Lawrence—the subjects of his dissertation—with the same enthusiasm as that of children's literature, British game laws, Quaker Abolitionist, Henry Giroux's ideology, New Orleans cuisine, jazz, and Creole culture, and the photo as art or as history.
This web page is a tribute to Richard D. Beards and all of his Scholarly Achievements.
