Connolly feels he's just as able-bodied as anyone. But he never quite adjusted to people's stares.
On a European trip last year he got tired of it. In what he admits to being a passive-aggressive response, Connolly looked the other way, held his camera at hip-level, and snapped a starer's photo.
"I wanted to stare back at that guy, to let him know that, 'Yeah, I catch you looking,'" he says. "And the way I did that was with my camera."
Afterward when Connolly looked at the photo, blurred from both the movement of the camera and the movement of the man, he was surprised to find he liked what he saw. And the seed was planted for a major creative project.
The following summer, bolstered by a grant and by winnings from a second-place finish in the X Games monoski-cross – a side-by-side race for disabled skiers, Connolly packed his bag with camera gear, 14 pairs of duct-tape-reinforced gloves, and his skateboard. He then set off on a journey around the world to explore an aspect of human nature on which he held a unique perspective.
• • •
Connolly traveled to 15 countries in three months, from New Zealand to Japan, through Europe, Iceland, and then through America until he was back in Montana. Always shooting from the hip, he would start his days heading away from the sun, rolling through villages, and shooting people as he rolled. He would break for lunch, edit photos in his digital Nikon, and then start rolling back toward his hostel as the sun started to set.

Soooo cheap and does the trick, leaves an oily residue but I tone afterwards anyway so doesn't bother me! My tip is to place over your eye and hold while gently tapping with your fingers for 10 seconds...then gently wipe off.

I'm a bit undecided about these. They're really good value but they don't remove all my mascara. They do well on eyeshadow and liner but I can't get all my mascara off with them. I don't really mind the greasiness of them as it feels as though they are moisturising for the eye area, and I use a separate face cleanser afterwards anyway.
EDIT: I decided to knock of a lipstick in the rating for these as they definitely don't do well at removing mascara (mine isn't even waterproof).

Age: 18 & Under Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Brown
I ran out of my favorite Neutrogena Eye makeup remover pads a couple months ago(and fed up with how fast they ran out) bought these instead at my local Target. They became an HG so fast! I love how this takes all my eye makeup and how well it conditions my eye area/eyelashes. I swear, I think this has made my eyelashes grow-not sure what the "secret" ingredient is, but my eyelashes have grown considerably since I began using this.
This cuts through eye shadow, eyeliner, mascara, primer, and the concealer I put under my eyes-nothing else that I've tried works so well!
A jar lasts about 2 months (since there are 60 pads) and I've only had to repurchase once since I started using this (like 3 or four months ago). They are around the same price as the Neutrogena, for twice as much, AND they're better! What more could I ask for?

I like these. Yes, they are really oily, but I found the oil absorbed over a couple of minutes. They cut through my eye shadow, shadow primer, liner and mascara with ease. No scrubbing. I love that they're just little pads and are in a convenient jar that stores nicely in my makeup train case. I would purchase these again.

I'm on the fence with this product. I bought it at Target and loved how inexpensive it is but I find it almost overly oily. And, while it does an excellent job of removing my eyeshadow, I find that it doesn't cut through the mascara on my lashes very well.
So, love the cheap factor. Love that it is 75% effective at removing make up. Don't love that it leaves my eyes feeling super oily.
I may buy this product again but will also continue looking for other eye make up remover pads to try.

They are easy to use - just swipe the pad across your eyelids and eyeshadow and mascara come right off! I love them and highly recommend them!

This is a really good cheap product. Takes away mascara very easily, the pads are very oily which I believe helps to condition my eyebrows and eyelashes when removing make up but I have to make sure i use a cotton pad with water on my eyes afterwards. Would repurchase.

Working Effectively with Veterans
Peter Banys, Chief, Substance Abuse Programs, Veterans Affairs Medical Center
John Straznikas, Team Leader, Veterans Affairs Medical Center
This workshop will examine the issues and needs of veterans seeking help from community-based programs. Familiarity with the military culture increases the clinician's ability to establish a stronger therapeutic alliance. We will discuss key elements of this culture, how it influences participation in treatment, and how to harness it to promote greater treatment engagement. Veterans are often reluctant to seek help and benefit from a low threshold admission process. They are wary of sharing some of the painful aspects of their traumatic experiences, and there are distinctive manifestations of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) in those with combat experiences and substance use disorders. We will review specific issues that arise for veterans with PTSD . Participation in group activities may be affected by the presence and absence of other veterans. Presenters will offer specific strategies for addressing these and other issues.
Community Norms and Marijuana Abuse Prevention
Karin Wandrei, Executive Director, Mendocino County Youth Project

The implications for selected and indicated prevention efforts and modifications of evidence-based programs will be discussed when they are used in communities with widespread support for the use and growing of marijuana.
Applying Chronic Illness Care to Addiction Treatment Systems
Mark Stanford, Division Director, Addiction Medicine and Therapy, Department of Alcohol and Drug Services, Santa Clara County

In addictions treatment, as for other chronic conditions, the effects of treatment are significant but not long lasting after discharge unless some type of continuous care is provided. The Santa Clara County Department of Alcohol and Drug Services conducted a study to determine the feasibility of providing continuous recovery monitoring that would provide post-discharge check-ups for clients who have completed treatment. This presentation describes how a public program implemented its continuous recovery monitoring study and the experiences and successes realized.

Why Does Making Alcoholics Anonymous Easier Work
Meenakshi Subbaraman, Research Associate/Pre- Doctoral Fellow, Alcohol Research Group, University of California, Berkeley
"Making Alcoholics Anonymous Easier" (MAAE Z) is a 12-step facilitation program designed for treatment centers. The MAAE Z trial found higher rates of abstinence among individuals treated in MAAE Z compared to usual care. Doing service, having a sponsor, and having support for sobriety may all explain these higher abstinence rates. Results suggest that despite prior exposure to Alcoholics Anonymous (AA ), individuals may have been ill-equipped to plug into key AA resources and activities, and suggest that these activities should be facilitated.

The presence of adult substance use disorders within the criminal justice system has become increasingly evident over the past decade. Interventions and treatment services have been designed and research conducted in an effort to establish evidence-based practices that effectively address the complex needs of this population. However, adopting and implementing these evidence-based interventions and practices within the real world setting of criminal justice environments is challenging. This presentation reviews the science and the pragmatics of addiction treatment for offenders with substance use disorders and explores the inherent challenges of fitting these interventions and services within criminal justice settings.
County Alchol and Other Drug and Education: Preserving the Prevention Landscape
Jan Ryan, Prevention Consultant, Riverside County Substance Abuse Prevention Services and Redleaf Resources
Tom Herman, Administrator, Safe and Healthy Kids Program, California Department of Education
This workshop provides a forum to examine how the relationship between public education and county Alcohol and Drug Programs has helped to form and can continue to shape the landscape of alcohol and other drug (AOD) prevention. The goals are to unearth the wisdom from the past, draw on the foundation of the present infrastructures, and explore the potential for future collaborations despite diminishing resources. Prevention never works alone which means challenges, change, and collaboration is business as usual even in unusual times.
Thursday, October 14, 2010 9:00 am – 10:30 am
Honorable Rogelio R. Flores, Superior Court Judge, North Santa Barbara County Municipal Court
This workshop will allow participants a more personalized "conversation" with one of our highly distinguished keynote presenters. Please arrive early; we anticipate this workshop will reach maximum capacity quickly. Pre-registration does not guarantee a seat in this workshop.
Considering Social Media for Prevention?
Carlos Morales, Senior Systems Analyst/Chief of Technology Transfer, Minnesota Institute of Public Health
Tracy Johnson, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention, Central Regional Expert Team Director, Minnesota Institute of Public Health
There is a lot of talk these days about social media – blogs, Really Simple Syndication (RSS ), podcasts, YouTube, Flickr, Del.icio.us, social networking, MySpace, Facebook, oh my! You know your organization or program should use social media, but you're not sure where to start. How can they help you to engage your audience and spread the word about your prevention program or organization? We will take a look at how social media tools and techniques can fit into your online communications mix, how to make them work for you, and some examples of what other organizations are doing.
Buprenorphine Treatment for Young Adults
Thomas E. Freese, Director, Pacific Southwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center
This workshop will examine the prevalence of and treatment admission rates for nonmedical use of opioids among young adults; provide an overview of opioid use among adolescents and young adults; explore the results of new research on using buprenorphine to treat opioid addiction in young adults; and, describe the implications of these findings for the treatment of opioid addiction in young adults.
An Emerging Opportunity: Addressing Alcohol and Other Drugs and Mental Illness in Older Adults
José Salazar, Director of Program Development, Tarzana Treatment Centers, Inc.
Verda Bradley, Consultant, County of Los Angeles, Department of Mental Health
Deborah Levan, Divisional Director, Older Adult Services, Behavioral Health Services, Inc.
A growing number of older adults are suffering adverse events related to the misuse/abuse of alcohol, prescription medications and illicit drugs, and many present with cooccurring mental health disorders. This workshop will explore relevant health and social issues of older adults with prescription medication and alcohol/drug and mental health problems. Presenters will discuss challenges and successful strategies for outreaching, enrolling and providing responsive substance abuse and mental health services for older adults, including evidence-based practices.
Addressing Youth Resistance to Prevention Messages
Rodney Skager, Professor Emeritus, University of California, Los Angeles
Substantially high levels of alcohol and other drug use is reported by California secondary school students; data shows use reported by 60% of 9th and 72% of 11th graders. This extent of use reflects that most information-based approaches to prevention have apparently been ineffective for the majority of youth due to several interactive factors. Youth-friendly alternatives to both current drug education and institutional responses to violators are proposed.
Promising Models and Practices for Women Offenders
Stacy Calhoun, Project Director, University of California, Los Angeles, Integrated Substance Abuse Programs
Kira Jeter, Project Director, University of California, Los Angeles, Integrated Substance Abuse Programs
Luz Rodriguez, Project Director, University of California, Los Angeles, Integrated Substance Abuse Programs
There has been an influx of women with substance abuse problems into prisons in the past 20 years due to changes in sentencing laws and criminal justice policies that have increased incarceration rates for drug users. This panel highlights findings from three different evaluations of programs designed specifically to meet the treatment needs of female offenders in community and correctional settings.
Costs and Benefits of a Behavioral Health Court
Arley Lindberg, Analyst, California Administrative Office of the Courts, Collaborative Justice Project
Maria McKee, Policy and Program Analyst, San Francisco Collaborative Courts, Superior Court of California
This workshop discusses the findings of a recent cost evaluation of a Behavioral Health Court (BHC). The evaluation compares the annual operating cost of BHC to the savings associated with reduced interactions with the criminal justice system and changes in service utilization. The evaluation also analyzes factors that predict program success. Evaluation findings are discussed as well as policy and practice implications for mental health court programs (e.g., target population, program length, and increased savings).
Evaluating Social Host Ordinance Impact in Ventura County
Kristen Donovan, Principal Consultant, EVALCORP Research and Consulting
Dan Hicks, Manager, ADP Prevention Services, Ventura County Behavioral Health Department
Julie Slay, Data Manager, EVALCORP Research and Consulting
Social Host Ordinances (SHO) have become a hot topic of interest as an environmental approach to reduce underage drinking parties. An increasing number of cities and counties within and outside of California are working to pass and implement SHOs; however, little is known about the success or impacts of these efforts. To help fill this gap, our presentation will share promising findings, lessons learned, and tools from a recent SHO impact evaluation conducted across Ventura County.
Thursday, October 14, 2010 10:45 am – 12:15 pm
Elevating Prevention in Faith-Based Organizations
Lourdes Gutierrez, Project Coordinator, CSP Inc., Project Faith in Youth
Stephan Lambert, Health Educator, CSP Inc., Project Faith in Youth
Joanne Lambert, Confirmation Director, Santiago de Compostela Catholic Church
This workshop will tell the story of how an Orange Countybased FAITH (Faith and Institutions Together for Health) Coalition and Project Faith in Youth under the wings of Community Service Programs (CS P) have succeeded in infusing alcohol and other drug prevention in the youth development programs of faith communities. A case study will be presented to demonstrate how an innovative mini-grant program has increased protective factors among faith-based youth.
Understanding Collegiate Alcohol and Drug Issues
Heather C. Dunn Carlton, Director, Judicial Affairs, University of the Pacific
Cyndra Krogen-Morton, Health Educator, California State University, Sacramento
Since the start of the Iraq war, three times as many college students have died because of alcohol-related accidental deaths than soldiers fighting in the war. Alcohol continues to be the number one health issue for young adults (National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 2009). This presentation will cover recent trends in substance abuse among college students, the impact this has on the greater community, and what campuses and communities can do together to reduce substance abuse related problems.
Client Transfers as a Measure of Provider Connectedness
Allison J. Ober, Assistant Researcher, University of California, Los Angeles, Integrated Substance Abuse Programs
Patrick Zarate, Division Manager, Alcohol and Other Drug Programs, Ventura County Behavioral Health
Dennis Koch, Deputy Program Administrator, County of Fresno Behavioral Health
CalOMS data suggest that transfer percentages in California are low (e.g., 26% of clients leaving detoxification treatment transferred to another treatment). Low transfer percentages may indicate a lack of connectedness between providers. This workshop will present a method for measuring provider connectedness; present measures of connectedness for providers within California counties; and, facilitate discussion on using transfer percentages as a measure of system performance and strategies for improving connectedness.
Substance Abuse Services with the Homeless: Hope and Innovation
Lydia DeLeon, Program Manager, Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Sandra Dalton, Outpatient Coordinator, Los Angeles Centers for Alcohol and Drug Abuse
This workshop will address substance abuse treatment with the homeless on Skid Row in Los Angeles where we have successfully provided services for over 20 years. Using client stories and video, the presenters will provide a description of the area, the clients, and the treatment for those who seek help for substance abuse, including those with co-occurring disorders. They will discuss challenges and what they do to make a difference in their clients' lives.
Implementing an Evidence-Based Program with Latino Families
Martha Varela, Program Director, Southern California Alcohol and Drug Programs, Youth and Family Services
Sara Millan, Clinician, Southern California Alcohol and Drug Programs, Youth and Family Services
Carrie Petrucci, Project Evaluator, EMT Associates, Inc.
This workshop will describe Southern California Alcohol and Drug Program's "¡Si Se Puede!" program, which seeks to ensure that high-risk Latino youth gain skills to lead healthy, substance-free lives, and positively contribute to their own well-being and the well-being of their families and their communities. Project staff will describe how they adapted the A-CRA /ACC models to Latino family culture, specifically, low-income Mexican-American families living in South Los Angeles.
Alcohol Outlets in Los Angeles County
Qian Guo, Epidemiologist, County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health, Alcohol and Drug Program Administration
Yolanda Cordero, Prevention Coordinator, County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health, Alcohol and Drug Program
Greater alcohol outlet density is found to associate with increased alcohol consumption and related harms. This workshop will present findings from an investigation about the amount, density, and geographic locations of alcohol outlets in Los Angeles County, both in general and at different regional levels such Service Planning Areas, Supervisorial Districts, and Census Tracts. The information is useful for development of evidence-based programs aiming to prevent or reduce overconcentration of alcohol outlets in Los Angeles County.
Recovery Management for Women Using a Case Rate
Bryn King, Consultant, Doctoral Student, Women's Recovery Association, University of California, Berkeley
Christina Todaro, Program Director, Women's Recovery Association, University of California, Berkeley
Against the backdrop of shifting perspectives regarding substance abuse policy and California's statewide Continuum of Services System Reengineering (COSSR ) effort, an exploratory pilot study is being conducted to assess the potential of a capitated case rate combined with a recovery management approach in a communitybased treatment program for women. The struggle of the agency to transform from episodic treatment to a chronic care model and the impact on client engagement and retention will be discussed.
Evidence-Based Sustainability in the Real World: What Works
Christina Borbely, Honorary Vice President of Research and Evaluation, Center for Applied Research Solutions
Angela Da Re, Director of Prevention Programs, National Council on Alcohol and Drug Dependence
Though sustainability of programs and services is a coveted achievement, its pursuit often inspires dread due to dire circumstances which prompt unfavorable attention. Fortunately, there are evidence-based methods for preserving needed programs and services. Given recent shifts in prevention, treatment and recovery resources, alcohol, tobacco, and other drug professionals are optimally positioned for utilization of proven sustainability approaches. This workshop will explore the theoretical underpinnings of sustainable concepts, identify research-based best practices, and translate these into practical applications.

If you were a CIA agent stationed in Afghanistan during the late 1970s and early 80s, what watch would you wear? The Seiko Fieldmaster would be a great choice if you were going to be fighting some Sandinistas, but in Afghanistan back then, your likely foe was a Russian.
For one particular CIA agent, he chose a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Date in stainless steel. In fact, he chose the very watch you see to the left. Yes, this vintage Rolex was worn by an American spy stationed in Afghanistan during the Russian occupation of 1980.
This Rolex was his wrist companion during his mission abroad for a few reasons; Rolex is known for being very accurate (this model is a Superlative Chronometer), durable (famous Oyster case), and above all else, a Rolex is as good as gold, no matter what country you're in. If you get into a sticky situation and someone is demanding some your head or some liquid assets, you can slide this stainless steel beauty right of your wrist and hopefully escape to fight another day.
What makes this watch really attractive to us, besides the very James Bond provenance, is the original black dial with baton markers and matching hands. You just don't see a Rolex that looks like this every day. Couple the Rolex name with unique looks and a CIA past, and you've got a watch we'd buy any day of the week. This 1970s Rolex is being offered for a very fair price of $2495. Also, whoever purchases this watch will be given the name of the CIA agent who owned it, so you can continue to research just who this international man of mystery was!

Many potato and onion growers near the Oregon-California border don't have time for the alfalfa they grow as a rotation crop. They plant and irrigate it, but don't want to harvest and market it.
And that's just fine with Tim Parks and Denis Hickey. They've built a successful custom harvesting business while marketing their customers' hay. In fact, the alfalfa's usually sold before their balers hit the fields.
Parks & Hickey Hay Sales, Merrill, OR, sells more than 25,000 tons of hay each year, says Parks. Of that, around 10,000 tons are custom harvested and another 10,000 are bought and sold. They put up nearly 6,000 tons of their own hay.
Both former potato growers, Parks and Hickey had grown weary of the risky nature of that business and started their hay operation over five years ago.
"The area we're in is small," says Parks. "We're kind of the big fish in a little pond. There's only a couple hundred thousand acres here and we do a big part of the alfalfa."
Their clients have their hands full with their potato and onion ventures, adds Park. "They don't want to fool with the hay. For about six months, the haying business is seven days a week, 24 hours a day, and those guys aren't set up for that."
The growers are also happy that Parks, who handles most of the summer baling, and Hickey, who manages the trucking, have ready hay markets. After selling the hay, the custom harvesters write checks to their clients, taking out harvesting, selling and shipping fees.
"We're probably marketing 60% to California dairies, 20% for export and 20% to feed stores," Parks says. Exported hay is handled through other brokers. "Most of the guys we sell to are from the countries we export to and they understand all the ins and outs. Exporting is a pretty complicated business."
They market their clients' hay on test to four large dairies, with 4,000 cows or more, and about 20 smaller dairies. Their goal is to provide alfalfa in the 23% protein range. "Last year the quality was way off; we had a hot year and a lot of problems," Parks says.
A major quality challenge, of course, is having enough water in this Klamath Falls region.
"We had a real poor winter as far as precipitation goes, and I expect to see some problems," Parks says. "It really depends on how much water comes out of the mountains."

Trade Cards
Trade cards are a great source of information for scholars, historians, and students, because they provide examples of the material culture and business practices of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. Most trade cards provide the name and address of the proprietor and the variety of services available, sometimes with vignettes to describe items sold or the place of business. Although there is no concrete definition of a trade card, it is generally a printed notice of goods for sale or services available for the public.
Copper plate engravings were used almost exclusively for early commercial printing and later chromolithographs gave color to the trade card. Although many may think that these trade cards were printed on the large printing press, like newspapers, a small hand press or "card" presses made the job faster and cheaper. This made the trade card affordable to not only the prosperous business owner but also to the small business owner. One of the earliest job printers was Samuel Dickinson who is best known for his printing of the Boston Almanac. The visual composition of the decorative lettering and diminuative illustrations made trade cards a great investment for rising businesses.
The rise of type foundries in the 1860s, created the availability of specimen books. This brought variety and convenience to business owners by introducing them to the variety of typefaces and wood engravings. Many designs on trade cards were non-pictorial, presenting only the message of the proprietor in ornamental lettering. If there was an engraving on the card, the engraver's name or initials were usually presented in the lower right hand corner or below the center of the card.
The collection at AAS includes many examples of early trade cards from Paul Revere, James Turner, and Nathaniel Dearborn; but also some from less well-known names such as D.L. Glover and W.G. Mason. Because the collection is not catalogued, a list has been produced for improved access to the collection. Arranged alphabetically by business name; the list provides addresses, materials advertised, and descriptions of any pictorial vignettes, followed by some information on the engraving or sculpture from which the picture was taken.
Some sources on ephemera cover the history as well as provide reproduction examples of trade cards. Early American Trade Cards, written by Bella C. Landauer (William Edwin Rudge, 1927) gives a short history of the trade card and also illustrates some of the author's own trade cards. An earlier history of the trade card can be ascertained from London Tradesmen's Cards: An Account of Their Origins and Use by Ambrose Heal (B.T. Batsford Ltd., 1925). With a range of historical significance and descriptions of development and curiosities, this book takes a look at what prompted the start of the trade card era in this country. Lastly a great source that deals with all kinds of ephemera is the periodical Ephemera Journal, published quarterly by the Ephemera Society.
For more information on the collection, please contact the Graphic Arts department.

3 Ninjas Kick Back
Recently, I was speaking with the manager of a couple of large video outlets about how she determines what movies will rent. "If it has a naked woman on the cover, it will always make money," she claims. I think one other item can be added to that blanket statement: If it has the word "Ninja" on the cover, it too will always rent, especially to the young crowd. Get the movie review and more. »

Tamarind Beer
Author Notes: I love the strange tang of tamarind. It's plenty easy to find in here, in any of the Mexican markets. I had a bag with no forseen purpose in the pantry. I started by shelling the pods, then steeping the gooey fruit in hot water. The result was tamarind water plus pulp. I separated the water from the pulp and used some of the water as a flavor for my "beer". It's not what you think! - midnitechef
Serves 1
- 1 can Ginger Ale (preferably Canada Dry)
- 1/4 cup tamarind water (as described above)
- Pour the tamarind water in a glass. Slowly add the ginger ale creating a foamy head to make it look like beer.

Our team will provide your business with a website that is stylish, elegant, sophisticated and practical. Web standards, latest technologies and excellent skills allows our team to provide websites that are accessible to every one of your customers.
the design
Design is key to a successful website. We aim for a selection of goals to achieve structure, style, elegance, and usability.
Structure: A good website must begin with a good structure, and unnecessary clutter or badly organised layout can leave users confused and unhappy.
Style: This is key to building a website that users will want to use time & again. An attractive style, will encourage a user to explore your website and spend more time with your business.
Usability: Is the website easy to use? Can users find what they are trying to find easily and without hassle? These are the questions that our designers ask constantly through the design process.
the build
Building the website is the process of transforming a flat design or sketch into a working site with information, links, and resources.
When building websites we ensure that our code is clean, tidy, optimised for search engines (like Google), and also accessible to users who may have difficulties using computers or websites (e.g. the visually impaired).
Our websites are tested constantly throughout the build process to ensure that they comply with W3C standards. This allows us to optimise our code to be accessible to as many users as possible, on as many devices as possible.

"The opportunity was Katrina, and that allowed an awful lot of change to happen in a very short period of time."

The Essential Guide to Flex 3
Flex 3 is the next generation of a technology that revolutionized web applications. It is the next evolutionary step of Flash, which has grown from a web animation medium to a powerful enterprise web design and development platform. With nearly 98% of all web browsers, and a growing number of mobile devices, running Flash Player, a knowledge of Flex is indispensible for any serious web developer.
This book will show you how to create powerful Rich Internet Applications using Flex 3. After learning how to install and becoming familiar with the basics of the Flex Builder 3 software, you will explore in depth how the Flash scripting language, ActionScript 3.0, interacts with Flex's powerful XML-like design language: MXML.
You'll learn how to construct your applications using layout and navigation containers, and how to move between various states using transitions. There is coverage of how best to plan your applications and use the Model-View-Controller pattern to keep various aspects of development separated and ease creation of potentially complicated projects.

Hello all, I want to keep my yeasts for future use. Most of the ones I have are fine in the fridge I think as I will reuse them within 30 days, but there are some (Lambic, Kolsch) that I will wish to save for future use. I have read the Yeast can be frozen for long term storage. What is the best way to do this? Also when I want to thaw the yeast & reuse it how do I go about that? Thanks in advance for the feedback!
search this forum for "freezing yeast". it has been discussed a few times, and I there are some pretty recent threads with good info in them. brew on! -walker

Statement of Relationship
The Statement of Relationship between the University of Rochester and its affiliated Greek-lettered organizations reaffirms the University's commitment to a strong and viable fraternity and sorority system as a living option for it students. It also recognizes that a fundamental premise for the existence and sustenance of a strong fraternity and sorority system is the cooperative relationship between the University, the Greek-lettered organizations, local alumni advisors, and the national and international Greek-lettered organizations. It is the intent of this document, therefore, to define and clarify the mutual expectations, rights, and responsibilities of all participants in this vital partnership.
Procedures for Recognition of Fraternities and Sororities
As The College advances and adapts to the changing needs of students, so too must the fraternity and sorority system. In efforts to provide a fair and accurate review of new groups, as well as ensure the proper support for existing groups as outlined in the Statement of Relationship, the following procedures for recognition of fraternities and sororities will be applied in the event of expansion. The University of Rochester reserves the right to implement a moratorium on expansion or re-colonization at any time. This policy will serve as a guideline for all groups with the intent to establish a new Greek-lettered organization at the University of Rochester.

Back when Odd Future was just breaking, Mellowhype (the duo made up of Hodgy Beats and Left Brain) released their sophomore album, BlackenedWhite on Halloween for free.
A few years (and retail releases) later, the duo are back with another free effort, this time for July 4th. Does this mean the music has become a little less devilish, and a little more celebratory? Probably not quite, but you'll have to tune in to see.
Watch Mellowhype's most recent video for "Nowadays" (which appears on the tape) here.
