Three Kingdoms Online Review
By Ange Perdu
Three Kingdoms Online is a MMO-SLG game based off the famous novel titled The Romance of Three Kingdoms which depicts a time of war, heroes, and divided nations in China during the 14th century. Players must construct their own city and rise to power. Recruiting heroes, building up troops, and conquering neighboring kingdoms is key. Although, Three Kingdoms Online is similar to other popular strategy games like Kingory, Evony, and Freesky Online it has several special features in gameplay that sets it apart.
Becoming a Chinese Warlord, the Gameplay
Three Kingdoms Online challenges players in a game of strategy and management. Balancing infrastructure building, the training of troops, and producing valuable resources is essential in order to advance one day to Chinese Warlord. There is a large assortment of buildings that require constant upgrades and research to be done. Quests are divided into Growth, Daily, and Military categories. Growth Quests involve tasks required to establish your city. Players earn beneficial resources as rewards for completing quests. A nice feature in Three Kingdoms Online is there Daily Quests section. Here users can earn extra rewards by answering the 3Kingdoms Quiz, filling in a name in the Book of Heroes, and by participating in the Morning Exercise. The resources earned during Daily Quests are a nice boost for free players without gold currency. Military quests aid players in developing their war tactics and customizing heroes. The building process can be slow since construction is limited to two at a time. Acceleration scrolls are available but similar to other games like Evony or Kingory it has to be purchased. The quests, hero recruitment, and chat world helps to pass time while waiting to conquer neighboring cities. The game also has a lot of additional text about the Chinese kingdom that players can read through.
War of Heroes
Heroes are a major aspect of this game. There are 641 epic heroes for players to recruit. Each hero can be leveled up, equipped with weapons, and appointed high positions. The amount of heroes a player can have is limitless. Heroes are recruited through the Career Center or captured when another player's city has been conquered. When players complete quests, duel, use skills, and fight other heroes in the Warrior's Tournament they will level up quicker. A hero can also be customized by before battle by equipping them with an arsenal of weapons, armor, potions, scrolls, and attributes. Hero attributes can be increased in strength, leadership, intellect, and politics. A hero can even be appointed as governor if their attributes in politics is high. Scrolls are earned or purchased through the in-game item mall and are used to teach skills that aid troops in battle. A hero can complete a faction quest by clicking on the map. They usually involve small scale attacks and scrimmages. The primary reward is experience. The reputation of your hero is gained through fights in the arena.
Surviving the Black Market
In Three Kingdoms Online there is an in-game mall that allows players to purchase an assortment of items to customize and speed up gameplay. Weapons to equip heroes, scrolls to accelerate constructions, and aid in war strategies are available. Different size wealth and treasure packs give users additional resources. Custom weapons like the Sword of Heaven to slaughter enemies, protective gear helmets, chest armor, combat boots, gloves, horses, magical scrolls, skill books, Military Gift Packs, Wealth Packs, Treasure Packs, Tablet of Earth, and the Emperor's Order. Gold must be bought in order to shop in the item mall. The catch is most of these special items are overpriced. The best deals if you want to instantly increase your resources are found in the Black Market. Unfortunately, there is a limit to how much you can buy at the Black Market per day. Users can get good deals on precious resources like iron, wood, stone, and food to increase the growth of their nation. It's a nice alternative to buying expensive wealth and treasure packs in the mall.
Lord for the Week or Emperor
Every Saturday in the world of Three Kingdoms Online the stats of noble rank is calculated. The player with the highest value over 2,234,400 will gain the prestigious title as Lord of Qin for the entire week. Players in each kingdom can also earn the title of Lord of their domain by reaching the contribution value of 1,396,500. In order to become Emperor a user must conquer the Imperial Capital, 4 State Capitals, and have a contribution value of 2,234,400. They have to hold the State Capital open for over 30 days to gain access to build an Imperial Palace. Once the palace reaches level 5 after each upgrade NPC troops will attack. If your palace is still standing when it reaches level 20 you're earn the title of Emperor. Joining a league gives players additional protection and an increase in resource production. Some leagues are hostile and revel in attacking players that applied to but was rejected for their league.
Final Verdict: Good
Overall Three Kingdoms Online is an interesting browser based MMO that uses history and different aspects of traditional strategy games for a fun gaming experience. When compared to other games like Kingory or Empire Craft Three Kingdoms Online brings something different to the table. The extensive hero customization and challenging gameplay will keep users engaged. Although, the in-game item mall is expensive it's not necessary for players to play. The handsome rewards for finishing quests and daily freebies give users enough freedom to still enjoy this game for free.

|Coors Field will be cold in the coming days.
After a warm, dry winter in Colorado, the snow is finally starting to fall. Unfortunately for baseball fans, it is coming when the Rockies are at home, and in the midst of their best start in franchise history.
The Rockies, for the second time in this home stand, will play a doubleheader. This time it will come against the Atlanta Braves, who visit town after being swept by the Pirates in Pittsburgh. The Braves come to Denver with the luxury of being able to activate certified Rockie-killer Freddie Freeman from the disabled list, just in time to hit in his favorite ballpark, Coors Field.
Colorado residents know that snow comes every April. That is no surprise. However, the snow that typically comes to Denver is a very heavy, wet snow that is accompanied by temperatures in the 40's, which helps to quickly melt the spring snow. The problem now is that the temperatures are staying in the 20's and low-30's, which means a winter feel.
The Rockies have done their best to get games in. In far worse conditions a week ago, the Rockies field crew, accompanied by owner Dick Monfort, were able to get the field ready after 10 inches of snow fell on Monday. The Rockies were able to play two games on Tuesday before getting snowed out again on Wednesday.
Monday's snow out marks the third time on this home stand that the Rockies have had to reschedule. Ironically, while the Rockies were in Arizona for spring training, the weather in Denver was very suitable for baseball.
With 14 of the 30 Major League Baseball stadiums either located in warm regions, or domes, it is fair to wonder why teams from cold weather climates don'e play a significant number of April games on the road, and vice-versa for the warm weather teams playing games at home.
Of course, not only would it not be fair to the cold-climate teams to start off with that many on the road, but a balance that minimized the chances of situations like the Rockies face should be considered.
When the schedule-makers did their thing, they forgot that visiting Atlanta in the summer isn't much fun, but April isn't so bad. The Braves play the vast majority of their early games away from home, while the comfortable weather in Georgia goes without use.
The logistics of a 162-game schedule for 30 teams is a huge nightmare, so asking for concessions that involve guessing on the weather patterns is pretty unreasonable. However, if the Rockies get too far behind, it poses a problem for them as the season goes on.
The Rockies already stand to lose one off day, as the Mets return to Denver late in June to make up the game that was lost last week. Figure the Braves don't get all three games of the series at hand in and they, too, will have to return for at least one game during a mutual day off sometime before the season ends.
Not only does this pose a problem for the pitching staff, but it also puts a burden on the everyday players. Off-days are few and far between during the six month schedule, eating two of them for makeup games can be devastating to a team looking to make a run. While their division rivals are getting adequate days off, they are playing make up games.
There is nothing the Rockies can do about the weather. Playing in the cold is difficult, but it will probably have to happen again in order for the Braves series to get played. However, it is a setback for the Rockies.
The Rockies will attempt to get two games in on a day with a forecast high of 35 degrees with snow all morning long. The best thing the Rockies can do is go out and play the way they have been. If they look at the weather as an advantage, it might be something that they can use to their advantage.

Kaya (Malaysian Coconut Egg Jam)
Kaya (Malaysian Coconut Egg Jam)
Kaya is a delicious Malaysian jam made with coconut, eggs and caramel. Rich and aromatic jam which is perfect for toast and a cup of coffee.
Kaya is one of my favorite Malay words. The reason is simple: it carries two of my favorite meanings in Malaysian language. First being rich; secondly, it means an utterly delicious coconut egg jam which is wildly popular in Malaysia and neighboring country Singapore. In this post, I am going to teach you how to make kaya, a jam that gets me all excited waking up in the morning…the silky smooth jam that goes on warm, crispy buttery toasts, and served with a cup of aromatic Malaysian dark coffee. Ahh…
Kaya, also known as srikaya, seri kaya, is a confiture made of eggs, coconut milk, sugar and infused with the fragrant aroma of pandan leaf. The mere mention of kaya conjures up a lot of my childhood memories. I grew up mostly with my late grandmother—a much celebrated Nyonya cook and kuih (local sweet cake) maker. The majority of my childhood days were spent in the kitchen, watching my late grandmother and my aunt preparing her many orders. One of the things that we would always make is kaya, the coconut egg jam that would go on the beautiful blue-color Nyonya kuih called pulut tai tai. My aunt would always be the designated helper making the kaya. She would beat the eggs, coconut milk, and sugar mixture with a traditional springy egg beater, and then the mixture would go into an antique yellow color enamel double-boiler sitting over a charcoal burner. Whenever she made kaya, she would religiously sit in front of the charcoal fire, stirring the kaya diligently for hours, yes, laborious hours! The kaya that came out from our home kitchen was always silky, smooth, with the richest and freshest taste, complete with a golden brown hue and color unrivaled by any kaya I have ever encountered. It was pure perfection. A perfect ten confiture. Once in a while, my aunt would ask me to help, and I would eagerly take her seat and help with the chore. Mundane was an understatement, but I often derived a sense of satisfaction watching the egg mixture slowly transformed into a silky and thicker consistency, and then the pale yellowish color transformed to a golden amber color with the addition of caramel. It was magical…and the taste of the end product was absolutely delicious.
There are many variations of kaya, some are yellowish in color, while others are greenish, or brownish. The texture varies, too; some are runny, while others are thicker. My favorite is always the ones which is thick and rich in texture (I don't like runny and thin kaya), golden brown in color, a color derived from the addition of caramel towards the end of the making process. While the traditional way of double-boiling is probably the best way to make kaya, nowadays, you can actually make this prized jam in less than an hour. When I called my aunt for the recipe, she even told me to "cook" the kaya, and skip the hours of stirring.
My kaya recipe below is quick and easy and takes about 30 minutes. With the help of modern kitchen appliances, the texture is smooth as silk, and the taste is as close as the ones that my aunt used to make. If my late grandmother were to taste this kaya jam, I am sure she would be so proud of me. It's sweet, creamy, aromatic, and without any lumps, it's simply decadent. Try my kaya recipe and in the next post, I will teach you how to turn your plain old toast into kaya toast that you will soon be hooked on.

We have a cake – like many traditional Portuguese cakes, it is made with lots of eggs and sugar – called sericaia, almost the same word, and the origin of this cake is somehow uncertain, some saying India, others saying Brazil and now I see that it may be from Malaysia, where the Portuguese have been for a while in 16 and 17th centuries… This is a small world
Hi Joao. There are many Malay words that are Portuguese in origin. Here's a few samples.

After a week in the fridge, the kaya will go bad? How can we keep it longer?
I live in North California and the only way to get Pandan leaves is from Ranch99 which sell frozen pandan leaves.
What a beautiful post Bee! So evocative. What makes the pulut tai tai blue?
I can't imagine where I would buy pandan leaves in this part of Canada. Any alternatives?
Pandan leaves both fresh and frozen are available in Chinese grocery stores like T&T, B Trust and Yue Meng in Mississauga.
-If use coconut milk, not cream, do I add the two quantities together?
-The Vietnamese coconut milk brand that I used has one type for desert and another for cooking. You reckon I should use the desert type?
-My old recipe use only egg yolks, what is the different with the end product when use whole egg?
How much pandan extract should I use? I can't get fresh pandan leaves where I live.
Wow. Kaya in 30 minutes! Seems less intimidating than the traditional methods of making kaya.
When I was young, the best part of making the kaya was licking the double boiler and pandan leaves clean after my mother had poured the kaya into jars!
I would like to know if I were to use undiluted fresh coconut milk instead of coconut cream and coconut milk(added with water), how much of it should I use?
Hi Bee, I love your recipes. Where can I buy Pandan leaves?
I'm sorry, I should have stated that I live in Southern California. Is there any place I can buy pandan leaves locally or from a company? This sounds so good I would really like to make it. Thank you for the recipe.
This looks so good! I've tried kaya back to my hometown and loved it! One question, can I omit cornstarch? Will the jam be too runny w/o it? Thanks!
Hi Bee! I'm so excited to try the Kaya recipe. Just a quick question, why are some kaya jam light green in color instead of golden brown (like the bottled kaya that they sell at breadtalk)? Thank you so much!
This made me miss kaya badly. It's amazing how much we can take things for granted until it's no longer available.
Just tried this recipe last night,and i must say,it is really delicious.I couldn't find coconut cream,so i just use the canned coconut milk.The next time,i'll use a fresh coconut to make this recipe.Thank you very much for this recipe.Baking a Hokkaido Milk Bread now to eat together with kaya.
My wife is going to love this!!! She´s from Kuala Lumpur and is craving Kaya. Sadly we can´t get it here in germany. Today i found the pandan leaves in our favorite asian grocery store. Just finished this awesome and easy recipe…filled it into two jaws. Now i am waiting until my wife comes home from work and i´ll present her some awesome Kaya toast. I tried it of course and it tastes just like the one we had back in KL. Thanks Rasa Malaysia!!!
My mother is from Penang but has lived in Australia for over 30 years and because we live in a small town we could never get the right ingredients to cook the food she was brought up with. Now that I have found your blog when I go to the city I will know the exact ingredients to buy and cook her old favourites. I was in Penang last year and they had a dish called "Nasi Kandar" the chicken was so yum maybe you might post this recipe oneday :) thank you Bee
Hi Bee,
I am so happy with your recipe. Happy the end result turned out well and I nailed it today. Thank you. My kaya looks lovely and taste good too. Love your story too, evokes memories of my late grandma stirring kaya in her ancient kitchen using firewood.
I tried this recipe in hopes because it looked a little easier to cook than the ones I've tried before. I like it a great deal, but next time I will use only 4 eggs, not 5, as it seems a bit eggy to me, even when I add some more coconut milk and sugar, a dash more pandan flavoring, and even a little gula melaka (palm sugar — not to be confused with date palm sugar).
When I'm in a grocery with Southeast Asian items, I always pick up some pandan flavoring in a bottle. Not even half as good as fresh pandan, but it gets me through the times when there isn't anything.

Hi, can i use fresh milk to replace coconut milk? TQ
Thanks Bee for the recipe. I have made kaya using the same method ie cooking over the stove instead of the traditional method of double boiling it. To avoid any lumps, cook the mixture on a real low flame and keep stirring for hours! Yes, a,most 2 hours for a lump free consistency. But then of course, cook it fast on a moderate flame and whiz it up later for a silky texture. For those who wish a pandan flavour, blend some cut up pandan leaves with the coconut milk, and strain the milk. The number of leaves is dependent on the intensity of the colour you desire. I have opted out of using pandan paste because the colour is so artificial although the flavour is pretty good.
Thanks again!
Hi . How long time for keep kaya after make finish and how to keep for long time
Hi, may I know what is coconut cream? Can I make it just with coconut milk? Thank you.
Hi, what kind of sugar do you use? White, brown or any sugar will do?
Hi Bee! I love coconut, and I'm anxious to try your Coconut Egg Jam! :D I have a couple of questions…Can this be canned to preserve it? We'd love to enter this in our county fair and canned items have to be properly canned. Also if I'm unable to find Pandan leaves here, can it be left out or will it greatly affect the taste? Thank you so much for this recipe and any help you can offer.
Also, can you use a hand blender to cream the jam into a smooth consistency?
Hi there, for the caramel part, do i need to add water? or just cook the sugar? and I dont have blender with me, so can i omit the part? thanks :)
Thanks for the recipe. I ate this when I was a child and always wanted to know what it was made of and how to make it. Now that I'm grown and there's the internet, nothing is impossible to learn. I love coconut and pandan flavor, so this food is the best. I see the pandan leave are available frozen, but do stores ever sell it fresh? I live in Southern California, Orange County. Is the frozen leaves flavorful? Also,I wonder if I can make a more healthier version by not putting in that much sugar or maybe substitute it with something else.
Thank you for the recipe! I'll try it today with pandan and gula melaka/white sugar (mixed). :) I just finished the last of the kaya I brought home from Malaysia and I can't imagine breakfast without it!

THank you … look forward to your reply.

1/2 cup coconut cream n 3//4 cup coconut milk, how much does it equal to in ml or gm. If thick coconut milk is available (i.e. Coconut cream) how much is required if diluted coconut milk is omitted?
Unfortunately, I rarely see pandan leaves been sold in any of the two Vietnamese oriental grocery stores here in the mid-west of US. However, couple weeks ago when I was so craving for the taste and smell of Kaya that I made some with a teaspoon of vanilla instead of the panda leaves. it turned out pretty good! :0)
I tried making some kaya using artificial sugar. I added the sugar when it's about ready.
The thing is the kaya looks like scrambled eggs. Is the fire too big ?
I'm so confused with this recipe. In step 1 you say to add the sugar to the egg mixture. Then in step 3 you say to heat the sugar. Did I miss something?
I used to help my mum making kaya when was a little girl. Your recipe sounds like my mum's recipe except her measurement is using her own bowl and only use coconut cream. You can imagine how hard for me to understand /ask my mum for the measurement.
I just made it and it is amazing! It reminded me of Malaysia! Thank you so much!
Hi Bee,
I have tried to make kaya before. But my girls complained that the kaya I made has eggy smell. How do it get rid of the eggy smell?
Hi, can I jez use coconut cream instead of coconut milk? If so, how much?
Hi Bee,
Thanks for sharing the recipe! I made some today and it tasted great and the consistency was just nice! Definitely brings back fond memories of roti kaya back home. The only thing is that I noticed the colour of my kaya is on the lighter side (instead of golden brown) even though I followed through the recipe & instructions. Any idea why this could be so?
Thanks very much for this! Very useful for those of us who can't get kaya where we live!
Hi, I've made this recipe twice just this week and it's perfect. It tastes eexactly like the kaya I had in Malaysia. I need to make a third batch but I am out of coconut milk :S could I just use coconut cream? If so, how much more cream should I add and do I need to add some water to make up for the thicker consistency? How much water?
Just like to know if we need to shake the coconut cream? Coz whenever i use the cream, the bottom part is diluted. If i shake it, it wont be so creamy and the kaya wont turn out thick.
I tried this…but its curdled…..was really lumpy
Made this yesterday and I'm glad I did! It made me feel home :)

I love that I was able to customize the design colors, fonts, and all text. Small complaint is it would be great if colors weren't tied together but I suppose that's the artists original design choice.

Intel Graphics: Windows 7 & Windows 8 vs. Ubuntu 13.04 & Fedora 18. If you sum up and average the results on each test for "Ubuntu Fedora/13.04+git" and "Windows 8" then Windows 8 comes out at an average of 3.5% more fps overall, which is negligible. (Linux wins some tests, Windows 8 others, the biggest win for Linux is OpenArena 800x600, the biggest win for Win8 is Xonotic 1366x768).
Like I said earlier, it would be very interesting to see this "15-way" test re-done next month when Haswell is released.

But today amd drivers are crap on gnome shell, are crap with wine, are crap with xvba , for example when you use mplayer vaapi, when you swith to full scren at windowed mode, you can see artifacts, are crap on more demanding games, are crap with compiz perfomance. If you want to use community driver ok, but I want the support of the company that I pay for their prodcuts like on windows, and not the support of the community.
As of April 26, 2013, Catalyst packages are no longer offered in the official repositories. In the past, Catalyst has been dropped from official Arch support because of dissatisfaction with the quality and speed of development. This time, it's the incompatibility with Xorg 1.14.
It's a shame that amd is so slooow to support the latest technologies on linux and force you to use ubuntu.Amd need to learn of the nvidia strategy on this market.
So again, yes they give kind of support, because it takes long to make a good free driver especially with software patents and very few linux driver developers on amds site at all.
I think, they yes give "support" in that kind that they will recompile and make it work on newer xservers, and they kind of bring because of the sharded code space of the windows driver some stuff that gets better there also to linux.
But I dont see that they improve fglrx faster than the radeon driver, I think the opposite is true, so they focus more on the free driver.
In the other news.... I burned my mobility X1900 today xD
I was just watching youtube html5 video on (older kernel 3.7/Mesa8 stack) in 720p using opensource driver. Obviously without any recently added acceleration (UVD1 is unsupported anyway).
Then I get kernel panic... On next reboot I have green squares everywhere xD. No mater what I do, the pattern changes on every resolution, but stays constant on each of them.
I am pretty sure I burned a memory chip.
At first, I thought its because of power management. That had probably contributed.. but then I read that X1xxx mobile cards were defect, like that of Nvidia G80 and basically need baking to resolder.. I probably sell this defect card.
So, right now I am looking for an MXM VGA... I am looking for an AMD MXM VGA, yes, I like this opensource driver very much now.
You guys should probably stop arguing and just buy cards you want to question (used) and do own tests... otherwise this won't end....
I managed to grab HD5850 used for 45$. You can too, you are not loosing much.

The Great Gatsby trailer is out… at least we can all agree that the soundtrack is rad?
Bazz Luhrmann's version of The Great Gatsby has been popping in and out of entertainment news headlines since he started casting, with rumours circulating that Ben Affleck would be playing Tom Buchanan (how great would that be!) and Blake Lively would be playing Daisy (how terrible would that be!). After settling on Leonardo DiCapprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan and Joel Edgerton as the leads, we found out the whole thing would be shot in 3D, prompting a collective "WhaaaaaaaaaaaaTTTT?!?!" on Twitter and in college English classes.
The film is now in the can and set for a December release, but we have been given the first of many trailers that I'm sure will continue to generate firm opinions.
The movie looks sleek, visually rich, and certainly Luhrmann-esque… but part of me thinks Lurhmann should only be allowed to operate on a small budget to rein in his lasciviousness. Strictly Ballroom and Romeo + Juliet remain his best films, demonstrating Luhrmann's knack for creating a unique visual style to frame genuine and powerful human moments. Unfortunately this trailer feels more like The Great Gatsby channeling Moulin Rouge. The aggressively ostentatious opulence of the aesthetics seems at odds with F. Scott Fitzgerald's quietly complex characters. But I will try to reserve judgement until I actually see the finished film!
Meanwhile, I think we can all agree that the soundtrack to the trailer is completely great. Have a listen, on repeat:
Jay Z and Kanye West f. Frank Ocean – No Church in the Wild
Jack White (cover of U2) – Love is Blindness

In my family, if we go to a restaurant with cheese wontons, we HAVE to get them! They are delicious, and here's an easy, non-fried version you can make at home thanks to Jennifer at Littlerails. They cook in 10 minutes!
~A. Snyder, A La Carte Staff
* * *
One of my favorite treats are cream cheese filled won-tons. But the classic version is alot of work and is best made in small batches. I wanted to convert so that I had a shorter prep time and I could make all of them at once.
8 oz cream cheese, softened
24 won ton small square papers
ginger to taste
1 chopped green onion
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix cream cheese and green onions. Grate ginger into the cream cheese mixture and continue tasting until you get the flavor that you like. I prefer having a bit stronger ginger flavor and I think I used about 1 tablespoon of grated ginger.
Transfer the cream cheese mixture to a piping bag or a ziploc bag.
Put one wonton paper in each cup of a mini muffin tray. I used a shot glass to push the papers down into the cups.
Squeeze about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese into each cup.
Bake for 8-10 minutes until the tips are golden brown. Serve warm, and try not to eat all of them yourself.

NORFOLK, VA — Attorney General Bob McDonnell; Janet Evans of The Federal Trade Commission; Stephanie Shafer, Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America; Esther Vassar, Commissioner of the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control; Frank Monahan, Director of ABC Bureau of Law Enforcement; and Ralph Blackman, President and CEO of The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility, a national not-for-profit organization funded by Bacardi U.S.A., Inc.; Brown-Forman; Constellation Brands, Inc.; DIAGEO; Future Brands LLC; Hood River Distillers, Inc; and Sidney Frank Importing Co. Inc., joined forces today to launch a public awareness campaign in Virginia to prevent underage drinking. The initiative, called "We Don't Serve Teens," was developed by The Federal Trade Commission and is designed to inform adults that providing underage drinkers with alcohol is unsafe, illegal, and irresponsible.
Today's launch at ABC Store #134 in the Colley Village Shopping Center was held in conjunction with "We Don't Serve Teens Week," a national effort aimed at educating adults on how youth obtain the alcohol they drink and how to discourage underage drinking not only during the back to school season, but also throughout the year. Attorney General McDonnell will be working with local and national partners to distribute "We Don't Serve Teens" materials to make adults aware of the legal consequences associated with providing alcohol to people under 21. Attorney General McDonnell's event is one of seventeen events taking place nationwide from September 10th – September 21st.
"Study after study suggests that youth who illegally drink alcohol obtain it from individuals they know," said Attorney General McDonnell. "Data shows, again and again, that kids cite their parents as the leading influence over their decision to drink - or not to drink - alcohol. When you talk, they really do listen. It is my hope this campaign will encourage parents to start and continue a dialogue with their teen about the dangers of underage drinking."
"Underage drinking is not inevitable," said the FTC's Janet Evans. "All adults can play a role in reducing underage drinking and related injury. The We Don't Serve Teens website, www.dontserveteens.gov, provides important information about underage drinking and tips on reducing easy underage access to alcohol."
"We are unveiling the We Don't Serve Teenscampaign today to help prevent underage purchases and consumption of alcohol throughout the year. The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility has found that 65% of the youth say that they get the alcohol they drink from family and friends, meaning they get it from their parents, their friends' parents, older siblings or family members or older friends, with or without permission. Turning a blind eye is as irresponsible as putting a drink in their hands," said Ralph Blackman, President and CEO of The Century Council.To determine parents' perspective on the issue of adults providing alcohol to underage youth, The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility commissioned a survey of 1,000 adults. The results show that, overwhelmingly, parents do not believe it is acceptable for other adults to provide beverage alcohol to underage youth. Ninety-six percent of adults said it is unacceptable for another parent or other adult to provide alcohol to their teenager without their permission. Further, all survey respondents said if they learned another parent or adult provided alcohol to their teenager without their permission, they would consider taking recourse against the other parent, or their child.
The top actions adults would take include:
- speaking with my child about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking (93%),
- call that adult and express my objections/feelings/opinions (86%),
- restrict my child's time at that family's house (80%),
- limit my child's relationship with that family (76%),
- notify other parents (74%), and
- punish my own child (69%).
Other actions adults report they would take if such an incident occurred include calling the police (44%), reporting the incident to the school (40%), and taking legal action, such as file charges, sue them, etc. (34%).
"Among 12-20 year olds, more than 27 percent reported past month alcohol consumption in Virginia (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration)," said Shafer. "Protecting the safety, particularly the safety of our state's most precious resource – our young people – is a top priority for the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America. Restaurants, wholesalers, retailers – all of us – need to play a role in the fight against underage drinking, to lower, and hopefully eliminate, underage drinking in Virginia."
"We are working hard to ensure that teens do not have access to alcohol. But we can't do it alone. It is our hope these point of sale materials will remind adults that serving alcohol to underage youth is unsafe, illegal and irresponsible," Esther Vassar added.
Underage drinking is against the law in Virginia. Period," said Frank Monahan. "While it is certainly important to discourage underage sales, kids get alcohol from other sources, and kids can be very creative about obtaining alcohol. Parents, retail establishments, community groups – we all have a role to play in the fight against underage drinking."
The Virginia Alcoholic Beverage Control will distribute point of purchase materials to 330 retail establishments in Virginia as a reminder to parents and other adults that providing alcohol to teens can mean serious consequences and to encourage them to speak up about underage drinking. Additionally, the Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, Inc. will distribute at least 60,000 packages of We Don't Serve Teens materials to retailers nationwide Elements of the campaign include television and radio public service announcements, print ads, lapel pins, register signs, and posters.
The Foundation for Advancing Alcohol Responsibility has distributed Attorney General McDonnell's radio PSA to radio stations statewide as a reminder to parents and other adults that providing alcohol to teens can mean serious consequences and to encourage them to speak up about underage drinking.The "We Don't Serve Teens" campaign involves a coalition of public and private sector organizations brought together by the Federal Trade Commission, that includes The Century Council, Wine and Spirits Wholesalers of America, Inc., the U.S. Department of Treasury Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau, the National Alcohol Beverage Control Association, Students Against Destructive Decisions, the National Liquor Law Enforcement Association, the Responsible Retailing Forum, the National Association of State Alcohol and Drug Abuse Directors, Inc., the National Consumers League, and the American Beverage Licensees.

wine week: sparkling inspiration
We believe there's a grape to suit any event, time of day, and budget – whether you're craving a casual afternoon refreshment or the perfect beverage for a fancy dinner party. But there's one genre of wine that is specially reserved for celebrations: the sparkling variety. And with good reason! What could be more festive, more congratulatory, more fete-worthy than a beautiful bubbly? The very pop of the cork is enough to put us in a jovial mood.
So cheers to whatever occasion you find bubble-worthy — and make sure to always have a few shimmery outfits to match.
Prosecco is a sparkling wine that hails from Italy — one that is a little more fruity than the typical champagne. It's your classic bubbly, with a little bite! General tasting notes: pears, apples, honey.
