Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland) is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world (Wonderland) populated by peculiar, anthropomorphic creatures. The tale plays with logic, giving the story lasting popularity with adults as well as children. It is considered to be one of the best examples of the literary nonsense genre, and its narrative course and structure, characters and imagery have been enormously influential in both popular culture and literature, especially in the fantasy genre.

Hi! I came upon this bottled drink called Kombucha. The labels says it's a fermented tea. Quite expensive for a tea drink. Can anyone tell me more about it?
2012.01.23 at 4:15 am #9169
There is much controversy over the product and there are cases of intoxication. The name itself is a big gimmick and a mistake. I advise not drinking it at all. I personally think it is a scam by a packing company wanting to make a fat profit from the tea trend. The thing tastes terrible anyway. You can check Wikipedia about it but also google "Kombucha scam" or "intoxication". The giant company has tried to wash down entries with a lot of positive entries, have patience to go down the google list.

Kombucha is dangerous and bad taste. I do not know why people drink this at all.
2012.01.24 at 2:06 am #9174
Thank you for the tips. I don't think I'll bother to check. Won't waste my time and money on it.

Kombucha is sweetened prepared tea that has been fermented by a kombucha culture. In this way it is similar to Pu-erh (though not in flavor), in that it takes tea that is already processed and then acts on it with another organism. It was originally developed in the area on the Russian/Northeast China border formerly known as Manchuria, and most of its traditional drinkers are from Russia or the former Soviet Republics.
In the past few decades, however, there has been renewed interest in kombucha outside of its traditional circles. This has lead to a "homebrew" culture of kombucha in many places that is based off of green and oolong tea rather than the traditional black tea. Results are often mixed, because many of these homebrewers learned through trial and error rather than experienced instruction. This is also the source of many of the cases of kombucha poisoning that have been noted in the media. This new style of kombucha is often more tart than traditional kombucha, and is sometimes sold as a health tonic mixed with various spices. However, the best examples of the new style are (in my opinion) pure tea varieties.
One issue is that kombucha is much like beer, in that it tastes best fresh, and stored under certain conditions. So many bottled kombuchas don't reach you until they are not at their best. There are a few producers making canned kombucha, and this seems to last much better, but I believe that they may be pasteurized, which would kill the active cultures. "Kombucha Wonder Drink" (run by one of the former co-founders of Stash Tea and Tazo Tea) out of Portland, Oregon in the United States makes a canned new-style kombucha that I think is good if fresh stuff is not available. If you are ever in Olympia, Washington, in the United States, there is another brand called "Magic Kombucha", that is really impressive, but they have limited distribution, and only serve kombucha bottled, which means it has a limited shelf life.

This theory about kombucha and puer the same is like saying shitake mushrooms that grow out of wood bits the same as a pot of sugared water cooked with saw dust left aside to "ferment".I wish there were any solid reliable reference to the claim that this kombucha thing comes from Russia or any of its formr allies, but all are just claims basing on other claims. The claimed health effects of the drink in the few scientific reports can be said of so many other normal grocery products. None effectiveness findings exist.The drink is full of sugar, to say the least. Refined white sugar, to be exact. The kind that is most dangerous of all cane sugar derived products. I am not sure if the moldy culture is more about the sugar or about the tea. Read the label of ANY kombucha bottle and try to understand the data. Do not fall into another scam by bottle drink manufacturers. They are all selling basically sweetened water with a bit of this and that in it. Google the sales of bottled kombucha, the figure is not about the miserable volume home-made version your friend may be doing. Its all a big brother game.

I don't believe that most large established tea companies are actually producing bottled kombucha, because of uncertainty over the health risks and the fear of litigation. The largest company I can think of that has a kombucha line currently is Celestial Seasonings in America, and they are not the market leader… Honest Tea (owned by Coca-Cola) released a kombucha for a brief period of time, but withdrew it from the market after being sued by someone for having a 2% alcohol content when the label stated that it was non-alcoholic.
The sugars in kombucha are used as food for the kombucha culture. It becomes less sweet and more tart over time.
I will see if I can locate a few papers I know of that trace kombucha's history.
2012.04.19 at 4:42 am #9419
One challenge is that much early research was not done in English.
The earliest scientific reference to the kombucha culture was in 1913 by Gisevii Lindau. [Lindau, G., Ueber Medusomyces Gisevii, eine neue Gattung und Art der Hefepilze. Berichte deutsch. Bot. Ges. 31, 243-248 (1913).] Here is a reference made to it in English from a 1920 encyclopedia on yeasts. At first, he thought it was a single fungus, but his colleague Dr. Lindner realized that it was a mixture of many cultures, and published a correction. [Lindner, P., Die vermeintliche neue Hefe Medusomyces Gisevii. Ber. deutsch. Bot. Gesell. 31, 364-368 (1913).]
Courland, where Dr, Lindau first noticed kombucha tea, was a part of Russia in 1913. Now it is in Latvia. How kombucha came to be known by that name (which is properly the name of an unrelated Japanese kelp drink) I do not know, although it was referred to by that name in the scientific literature as early as the late 1920s. [Hermann, S., Uber die sogenannte 'Kombucha'. Biochem. Z. 192, 176-199 (1928).]

I will see if I can find some more references.

In 1932, the Tea and Coffee Trade Journal had an article on it.
Here is the section on history:
"A certain amount of mystery surrounds the history of the mold. According to Dinslage and Ludoff, German investigators, it was introduced into Germany in 1911, presumably from Mitau [now known as Jelgava], Courland, Russia, and was cultivated by people who used the fermented liquid obtained as a household remedy for all kinds of ills. In Russia, it was known before 1911, but even in Mitau, where it is said that sailors first taught the inhabitants the use of the mold, its importation is comparatively recent. Where the sailors originally obtained the mold has yet to be discovered. Judging from the names by which it is popularly known — for instance, Japanese, Manchurian, and Indian tea fungus — it probably derives from the Orient. Scientists found that the mold grows best between 25-30°, and consequently inquiries in the tropics were instituted, but so far no positive information has been obtained from these places, which include Java, New Guinea, Samoa, Africa, and Argentina. It is hoped that better success will attend inquiries sent to China and Japan."
I believe it was also mentioned in William Ukers' 1935 "All About Tea" enyclopedia by the name of "Tea Cider"… I will see if I can find the reference.
2012.04.19 at 7:29 am #9422
Under "Tea Novelties" from Volume 2 of the encyclopedia:
Tea cider was known in Germany as early as 1911, and is said to have been introduced from the Orient. In 1933, experiments with its manufacture were begun in Java and Ceylon.
The process of manufacture is comparatively simple. An ordinary infusion of tea, using 1 1/2 to 2 ounces of tea to a gallon of boiling water, is strained from the leaves and to the liquor 10 per cent of sugar is added; i.e., 1 pound of sugar to 1 gallon of liquor. This is cooled and placed in an open, dust-proof jar. The ferment, or yeast, is added and converts the sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide gas, which latter escapes. The alcohol is then converted into acetic acid by he bacterium. These reactions give the cider its character. The yeast used appears to be a mixture of fungi, only two of which are of importance, according to Dr. C.H. Gadd of the Tea Research Institute of Ceylon. One of these is a yeast, Saccharomycodes ludwigi, and the other a baccillus, Bacterium xylinum. The particular yeast does not apparently matter, although the specific bacterium named is important, since it gives the characteristic odor and flavor to tea cider.
The sugared infusion is sweet at first, but the sweetness gradually disappears as the yeast begins to work, and acidity develops. The degree of sweetness or acidity is a matter of taste which decides when fermentation shall be stopped. The time required for fermentation depends on the temperature and may be as long as two or three days.
When the infusion has attained the right flavor and taste it is filtered through a thick, double cloth and bottled in vessels completely filled and tightly corked. The absence of air stays the action o the bacterium, but the yeast continues to work and produce gass, which gives an effervescence to the liquor. The cider should be kept in a cool place, well stoppered. It seldom contains more than one per cent alcohol. A tea vinegar also can be prepared by allowing the ferment to proceed for about a month. Then the vinegar is strained, boiled, and bottled."
Although it appears that the kombucha bottling factories in Java did not survive World War II, the kombucha culture used was salvaged and was still in use in 1990 when a Japanese researcher found the Indonesian locals still brewing it. He wrote a paper on the Indonesian kombucha that is available online here. I do not know what happened to tea cider in Sri Lanka, although it was still known in the late 1960s… is it still made there?

mbanu,Thank you for sharing the references. William Ukers has been a hero but we all know the accuracy of our knowledge improves with time as more and more scholars share efforts in improving the understanding of things.Quite many years ago I took notice of this "mushroom" tea trend in the West. The kombucha that is popular in the West today has not been well documented here in the East. As a matter of fact, I cannot personally find any historical writing about it in the Chinese language. Yet it is presumed that this comes from the East. Your reference is really contemporary.That's okay. It really is not my concern that there are new flavours of bottled drinks somewhere in the market. There are new ones almost every other week anyway. It is my concern though, that it has the association of tea and is potentially toxic and is not health contributing as it claims so loudly to be. There are quite a number of official announcements disqualifying the claims, but I think you may like to read this more accessible one on the net by NYU:The thousand years of human heritage has left for us a lot of treasures and it is up to us to select those that is worth our continual efforts in developing. Tea is one. As for kombucha, I have much doubt in it.
2012.04.19 at 8:46 am #9424
Thank you for the article. I agree that the health claims for kombucha are sometimes exaggerated. I feel that this is also true of the health dangers. Many of the more serious claims, like the lead poisoning from brewing kombucha in a ceramic pot, and the anthrax mentioned in the link, are from people who brewed the kombucha themselves without understanding how to do it. The link also notes that when taken in appropriate doses and made correctly, kombucha is essentially non-toxic. I will be the first to admit that more research needs to be done to have a clear understanding. From a scientific perspective we know hardly anything about kombucha at all… there is still debate over what organisms should and should not be part of a kombucha culture! Most of the information around for making good kombucha is just folk wisdom… but done well it still has a unique and pleasant taste.
1911 was indeed not so very long ago… I believe that those stories that trace kombucha back into antiquity are mistaken. It is most likely an invention of the Russians, perhaps from western Russia, although I would not be surprised if it had come from Manchuria… for many years parts of Manchuria were under Russian control, and Vladivostok was a major hub in the Russian tea trade. Without proof, though, this is indeed still hearsay.
2013.06.28 at 5:02 pm #9899
I go on and off brewing my own kombucha at home. I don't do it currently because it's a pain to keep the culture alive by constantly brewing it. I end up with much more than I can drink. I like to use green or white tea and brew the same way I make most green and white teas – with maybe 50 C water, brewed for four minutes (1 tsp tea per cup of water.) Then I add brown sugar, let cool, and place the fungus in with the tea into a glass container. I cover it with paper towel and rubber bands, and let ferment for about 2 weeks. As it brews it gets less sweet, more vinegary. The result is a lightly effervescent, slightly alcoholic drink that is living (probiotic,) and tastes like a slightly sweet, slightly sour brew that has a tang to it. It is mainly a digestive tonic for me.

Josh Koscheck and Georges St.-Pierre will get their much anticipated rematch on Saturday, and featured columnist Scott Harris does a great job breaking down the fight.
One key factor he looks at is wrestling, which is very close.
"Yes, Koscheck took St. Pierre down in their first fight, and yes, it's a feat that (unless I am wrong) has not been duplicated since," Harris writes. "Koscheck even took a round in that fight. Unfortunately for Kos, though, St. Pierre took him down several times, and won two rounds en route to the unanimous decision victory. Times may have changed, but both men have advanced here, not just one. That's why I see history repeating."
Among the other factors he examines are striking, submissions and stamina. Harris points out that Koscheck has become a more complete fighter, but notes that GSP is "a better complete fighter." He predicts the champ will score a fourth round technical knockout.

Alexandra Burke has shared photos of her new tattoos on Twitter after spending hours getting all inked up yesterday. However, within minutes of posting the snaps, her followers were commenting that it looked like she'd fallen victim to the age old tattoo spelling mistake FAIL.
Alexandra, 24, has had the words 'Love and Loyalty' emblazoned across her collarbone, and shared the black and white photo of the tat with her Instagram followers.
However, many of her fans quickly pointed out that the tattoo looks more like 'Love and Loyaly'.
One follower said: "looks like it's spelt wrong." Another said: "it looks like love & loyaly." [sic]
Another agreed, commenting: "Uh oh, they spelled it wrong!"
[Jessie J admits to tattoo spelling mistake]
[Alexandra Burke shows off her bikini body]
We looked long and hard at the photo of her latest inking and couldn't work out whether it IS in fact spelled incorrectly - but the fact we're even having to question it probably says it all.
UPDATE: Clearly distressed by the tweets insisting she couldn't spell, Alex took to Twitter this afternoon to clarify the situation, tweeting a picture showing the tattoo in all its glory.
Had to make sure there was NO FILTER ON THIS ONE!!!!! For those who think its a fail. Go check… http://t.co/LkGE6SYbTj— Alexandra Burke (@alexandramusic) July 3, 2013
Alexandra didn't stop her tattooing spree there, however. She went on to have her fingers tattooed, too.
She now has the words 'Honour, Love and Trust' inked on her middle, fourth and little finger.
[The six biggest tattoo regrets]
However, these tattoos were criticised too, with one fan telling her the words had been printed too big, and another enquiring why she had the word 'tw*t' tattooed on her little finger.
Oh dear.

The decision to write a glowing review of a holiday rental leaves you with the future possibility of not been able to book for the following year. With that said.
The communication between the owner Alan and ourselves during the booking was friendly and honest with all questions asked answered.
We booked a transfer from the airport to Rancho Park with Alan and were met with great warmth.
The apartment in which we stayed is very well appointed , extremely comfortable and maintained to a very high standard.
The area where the apartments are situated is ideal set on a quiet residential street which terminates due to a large body of water . The beach can be seen from the gate making the three minute walk to the sand an ordeal. If you do not fancy the beach you will probably have the pool to yourselves.At night leave the windows open and fall asleep to the sound of the waves carried on the night air.
The mini supermarket is equidistant to that of the beach deciding who will go for the fresh bread rolls each morning is a chore.If you wish to cater for yourself during your stay the mini supermarket carries everything.
There are a number of restaurants along the beach front which serve good quality food .
Alan the owner is a gentleman, providing excellent customer service, going well beyond what is required.
When it was time to leave, it was like leaving home after a week of total relaxation.
So there you have it we won't be able to make a booking next year . Enjoy!
We have recently returned from our second visit to Rancho Park. It was great to see Alan and Fran again and as before they were so welcoming, friendly and helpful and they always ensure that you have an enjoyable stay. The villa again was very relaxing and having the beach and a new local shop so near was excellent. We had some fantastic meals out in Elveria which is about 15-20 mins walk from the villa or Alan very kindly offers to give you a lift up there. We did hire a car for some of the time to visit places like Ronda and Mijas which are beautiful but also realised it is very easy to get around using the bus and train too if you want to go into Marbella or Malaga old town for example which is definitely worth a visit. Overall it was another great holiday. Very relaxing, lovely beach and peaceful, clean accommodation with excellent hosts! Thank you Alan and Fran and yes we will be back again in the future.
Absolutely perfect! We rented out the 4 apartments off of Alan & Fran for 2 weeks, there was 12 of us in all & we could 'nt have asked for better. Alan met us at the airport & transported us to their heaven by the sea where Fran was there to greet us. Apartments are exactly what you see on the website, clean, modern & comfortable, they also had an added bonus of a welcome parcel which contained the essentials along with a nice bottle of wine in each apartment. The pool was bliss especially in the evening time when the water was luke warm, there was plenty of sun loungers & towels supplied so our every need was catered for. We ate our breakfast of fresh crusty rolls (from supermarket 2 mins walk away) on the balcony overlooking the orange trees each day.The beautiful sandy beach was 2-3 mins stroll away & had plenty of restaurants one of our favourites was a very nice fish restaurant Christina's either for a drink, lunch or dinner, there were also vendors strolling up & down the beach selling freshly baked cakes still warm out of the oven, tubs of fruit & drinks. The apartments are in a great location a 20 minute walk would bring you to 3 commercial centres which have a good selection of restaurants & shops, Marbella town is just a 15 minute drive away (€18.50 by taxi) well worth a visit to view the beautiful churches & stroll up along the narrow cobbled streets to Orange Square. A blissful 2 weeks was had by all & it was with heavy hearts we left Elviria & were deposited back by Alan to the airport. A big thank you to Alan & Fran they went beyond the call of duty on more than one occasion! We had a fantastic holiday & would highly recommend these apartments to future holiday makers!
Just had 10 days of holiday bliss. Alan and Fran made us feel so welcome, it felt like home. Our apartment was fresh, clean and spacious and the welcome pack was a great touch. We both slept really well, you can hear the sea, just stunning. The pool is inviting and the surrounding gardens are well kept, with fresh fruit trees growing in the back garden. The beach is just a short walk, plus there is a great restaurant at the end of the road, plus many more can be found, just walking along the stunning beach. There is a very good supermarket, that will cater for all your needs. Alan and Fran went out of their way to make our holiday special, we felt like we were at home. Thank you Alan and Fran, we will be returning. Love and kindness Sandie and Pete Ablewhite
ranchero appartments are ideally located beside a beautiful beach with loads of placesto eat.The appartments themselves are clean,comfortable and have all you could want to make your stay hassle free.The owner Alan is such a nice man,and makes sure that you are well looked after. Our two children loved the swimming pool and the fresh rolls from the local shop! Everything is within 5 to 10 minutes walk away with Marbella just a 10/ 15 minute taxi ride. We will be returning to Alan and his beautiful ranchero park again without a doubt
Have just had a great holiday at Rancho Park.
Myself, my friend and her 11 year old daughter decided to have a girlie holiday in spain. We chose Rancho Park because of the great reviews, and we were not disappointed. The owner, Alan could not have been more helpful. We arranged with him to collect us from the airport and take us to the apartment, which worked really well. Also, for the rest of the week he would offer to take us places to save us taxi fares. He was great!
The apartment was clean with everything that we needed. There was a welcome pack when we arrived that even encluded a bottle of wine! The pool was lovely, with plenty of sun loungers and some pool inflatables. The apartment was located close to a lovely clean beach, where there are some very good resturants within short walking distance. We had a wonderful holiday and hope to go back real soon.
Conveniently located just a 30-minute drive from Malaga International Airport and 10 minutes drive to Marbella and Puerto Banus with its magnificent marina and selection of numerous first class restaurants and bars. The ever popular holiday resorts of both Fuengirola and Benalmadena are also only a 15 minute drive from the complex. Elviria's Santa Maria Golf Club has everything to offer even the most inexperienced golfer and there is also the Greenlife Driving Range nearby for beginners who are not quite confident just yet to go on the golf course, both only a short distance from Rancho Park Holiday Homes. The surrounding area is a paradise for Surfing, Golf, Tennis, Angling or for someone just searching for peace and quite and wanting to relax at the pool or just laze on the white sandy beaches nearby. The Costa del Sol offers approximately 320 days sunshine each year and incorporated with all of the above, surely this makes "Rancho Park" the ideal holiday destination for all ages.
Golf: The Santa Maria 18 hole Golf Course, par 70 (soon to expand to 36 holes), designed by Antonio Garrido is only a few minutes drive away from Rancho Park Holiday Homes and Santa Maria Golf has a magnificent Club House bar and a very exclusive restaurant. There are a further six courses within 10 minutes drive.Other Golf courses on the Costa de Sol include: Almenara Golf, Course, Atalaya Golf Course, Cabopino Golf Course, El Paraiso Golf course, El Parador de Malaga Golf, Flamingos Golf Course, La Cala Golf Course, La Cañada Golf Course, La Duquesa Golf Course, and La Quinta golf.
We can also arrange transport to and from the courses to suit your bookings.
Ski: Sierra Nevada is only a few hours away.

LONDON, UK (CBS) -- Pop sensations One Direction have followed in the footsteps of many boy bands before them and launched their own fragrance for their mostly female fans.
The band, which consists of Liam Payne, Niall Horan, Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Harry Styles, unveiled a giant version of the perfume 'Our Moment' at the top of London's iconic skyscraper 'The Gherkin'.
Speaking at a press conference hosted by MTV anchor Laura Whitmore, Liam Payne said, "We've never had so many meetings to make something - this is a complicated piece of art. A lot of love went into this. Funnily enough and this may sound pre-emptive but it's not, but there was a fan on Twitter who made a petition to have us make a fragrance and then we just got the idea from there. "
The fragrance, which will be used not only in perfume but also body lotion and shower gel, is described by the makers as a "sparkling, juicy and feminine fragrance made up of splashes of fresh fruit and seasonal flowers infused with undertones of warm musk. The pink grapefruit, wild berries and redcurrants, combined with the delicacy of jasmine petals, and frangipani with the dry woody tones of musk and patchouli leave an enticing and playful scent on the skin."
Payne admitted after the launch, "Well it's quite a sweet smell without it being too strong is the way. It's quite subtle if you will." while his bandmate Niall Horan explained "I think the reason we've decided to launch a fragrance in the first place is that fans always want to know what we like and what we don't like. So we wanted to show them what we like smell-wise on girls."
One Direction, who have enjoyed global success after the phenomenal success of their debut single 'What Makes You Beautiful', already have substantial merchandise, including their own mobile phones, onesies, T-shirts, bags, and bedding.
The fragrance "Our Moment" will be sold exclusively at Harrods from August 25 before being available throughout the UK on September 9.

Point guard overcomes blood clot, leading team to league title, playoffs
The Panthers won their third straight with John in the lineup against Mission Hills. He had 13 points, five assists and three steals.
"It's been a world of a difference," Vista coach Charlie Mercado said of having his scrappy point guard back on the floor. "When he first went down we really struggled to fill his shoes. We were kind of feeling like the season was over."
In the regular-season finale on Thursday, Vista played Fallbrook. The Panthers entered the game tied for the league lead with San Marcos. Less than three weeks earlier, without John in the lineup, Fallbrook pummeled Vista 51-30.
With fans stomping the bleachers and students exchanging taunts with the opposition during a seesaw game, John took charge in overtime, scoring half of his 14-point total.
The Panthers held off Fallbrook 60-58 on Senior Night to wrap up the Avocado East League championship. Their win, combined with San Marcos' loss to Mission Hills, gave the Panthers back-to-back league titles.
And brought about more screaming and hollering.
"He was a big factor," Mercado said. "John stepped up and hit some big shots."
Running the floor with quickness and agility, John didn't appear hampered by his injury, contributing four assists, four steals and three rebounds.
"He's made a phenomenal impact," said John's mother, Brenda Fletcher. "I'm excited for him and I'm sure he's excited as well."
The hope now is that colleges will again start calling a standout athlete who has been playing basketball since he was 4.
"We're still exploring opportunities," Fletcher's father said. "He's got some big dreams."
But getting back in the lineup and helping his team capture the league title was the immediate one.
"It means everything," John said. "It's my last year here. We're back-to-back league champs."
Next up, the playoffs.

MONROE—"Maverick" was a 1960s western television series about happy-go-lucky brothers doing heroic acts.
On Saturday night, Maverick "Bomber" Baumer played the role of a midwestern hero, with a big assist from stellar free throwing by three teammates, as Adams Central claimed a 59-50 win over Lakewood Park.
MONROE—"Maverick" was a 1960s western television series about happy-go-lucky brothers doing heroic acts.
On Saturday night, Maverick "Bomber" Baumer played the role of a midwestern hero, with a big assist from stellar free throwing by three teammates, as Adams Central claimed a 59-50 win over Lakewood Park.
Baumer, a 6-5 junior who AC coach Aaron McClure says "poses major matchup problems" for opponents due to agility and ability inside and out, turned a 38-35 LP lead into a 45-40 Central lead with a spectacular 10-point outburst in the first 48 seconds of the fourth quarter, including a four-point play.
Baumer, who led all players with 17 points (plus five rebounds and two blocks), buried a corner three at 7:17 for a 38-38 score, after which LP's Zac Crosby made two foul shots at 7:09 for the last lead of the game for the Panthers.
At 6:55, Baumer hit a trey from the same corner, a few feet away from the AC bench, and was fouled. He bottomed the FT for a 42-40 lead for the Flying Jets.
A few seconds after one of Nathan Busse's five steals, the Jets got the ball to Maverick in his shooting corner and he blasted another triple at 6:29 for a 45-40 advantage.
Despite Baumer's timely brilliance, those were his last points of the night, but teammates Dalton Combs (15 points, seven rebounds, two assists), Keaton Fiechter (12 points, three assists), and Busse (eight points, three rebounds) took over at the foul line. AC was 16 for 25 at the stripe overall (a not-so-hot 64%), but 13 for 17 (76.4%) in the decisive final period: Combs was six for eight, Fiechter went five for six, and Busse made one of two, plus Baumer's one for one. Lakewood Park was only four for four at the line in four periods.
McClure lauded Baumer for his 48 seconds of excellence, saying, "That was really big." He went on to call Mav "a very, very good player" who continues to improve and "a very solid shooter."
Overall, said Coach M, the Jets are demonstrating the teamwork it takes to be winners. The win was also "huge," he said, because AC will face Bellmont on December 28 at BHS. "Our goal is to play well each game," McClure said and, if that happens, the victories will mount up.
AC is 5-2 and LP dropped to 4-2.
The Panthers got 14 points and six rebounds from burly senior Brock Taulbee, who McClure described as "the best back-to-the-basket player we'll see all season," and 14 more from Crosby. Taulbee could have had well over 20 points, but shot six for 13 under the goal, while Crosby was five for 14 in twos and threes.
LP's Tony Jerrall added a game-high nine rebounds, scored seven points, and pulled off five steals. Blake Mann also had seven points.
McClure said the FT difference was a big factor, since the Jets had a 12-point edge. AC was called for a mere nine fouls, one of the lowest totals in school history, while LP was whistled 21 times.
The Jets took leads of 7-0, 14-2, and 16-6 before the Panthers battled back with a 21-12 outscoring of the home team in the second period to cut AC's halftime lead to 28-27.
There were ties at 31, 33, and 35 and the Jets could have held a 39-38 lead after three quarters, but they went zero for four at the stripe in the closing 1:31.
After that, it was bombs away for Number 15 and free throws the rest of the way.
Reserve Game
For the second night in a row, Adams Central's backup team suffered a one-point loss, 35-34.
The JV Jets (3-4) were outscored 13-9 in the last quarter by the 5-1 Panthers.
AC received 13 points, five rebounds, and two blocks from Pierce Harris and eight points each from Hayden Black and Alex Byerly. Byerly added five assists and Black had three steals.
LP got 20 points from David Albert, including five for 11 in threes. He also led in rebounds, with seven, while Hunter Yoder stole five times.

Things I liked:Works great! Folds up for storage and comes with sun shades. Provides the option for a remote and printer setup.
Things I would have changed:Provide a atleast 1 battery.
What others should know:This is the basic model and does not have a function button, it omly shows you fps.
Things I liked:Easy to set up, easy to use. Portable and very repeatable.
Things I would have changed:Ability to upgrade this unit is limited. If you think you may want to reset remotely or to use the recording printer, upgrade first. I didn't need it and don't miss it.
What others should know:If shooting indoors, buy the aux light source. I went from 40% errors to zero with the auxiliary light source installed.
Things I liked:Works for me. It is a basic device that does what it needs to do. I use it to know precisely the fps. Using this in combination with the Hawke ballistic charts and program I find this unit to be very helpful.
Things I would have changed:Nothing, as for a private person it does what it needs to do, nothing fancy is required.
What others should know:If you are serious about airguns knowing the fps speed of a pellet is mandatory. Both for the ballistic curve and downrange energy. This is a no frills fully adequate device that does its job well.

Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle
Produce Less Waste by Practicing the 3 Rs:
Reduce the amount and toxicity of trash you discard.
Reuse containers and products; repair what is broken or give it to someone who can repair it.
Recycle as much as possible, which includes buying products with recycled content.
Resource Conservation Challenge (RCC)
EPA's national effort to conserve natural resources and energy by managing materials more efficiently
Waste prevention, or "source reduction," means consuming and throwing away less. It includes:
- purchasing durable, long-lasting goods;
- seeking products and packaging that are as free of toxics as possible;
- redesigning products to use less raw material in production, have a longer life, or be used again after its original use.
Source reduction actually prevents the generation of waste in the first place, so it is the most preferred method of waste management and goes a long way toward protecting the environment.
Ways to Reuse
Reusing items -- by repairing them, donating them to charity and community groups, or selling them -- also reduces waste. Reusing products, when possible, is even better than recycling because the item does not need to be reprocessed before it can be used again.
Benefits of Recycling
Recycling is one of the best environmental success stories of the late 20th century. Recycling, including composting, diverted 79 million tons of material away from landfills and incinerators in 2005, up from 34 million tons in 1990. By 2002, almost 9,000 curbside collection programs served roughly half of the American population. Curbside programs, along with drop-off and buy-back centers, resulted in a diversion of about 32 percent of the nation's solid waste in 2005.

Buying Recycled Products
There's more to recycling than setting out your recyclables at the curb. In order to make recycling economically feasible, we must buy recycled products and packaging. When we buy recycled products, we create an economic incentive for recyclable materials to be collected, manufactured, and marketed as new products. Buying recycled has both economic and environmental benefits. Purchasing products made from or packaged in recycled materials saves resources for future generations.
- More About Buying Recycled Products
Benefits of Composting
Another form of recycling is composting. Composting is the controlled biological decomposition of organic matter, such as food and yard wastes, into humus, a soil-like material. Composting is nature's way of recycling organic waste into new soil, which can be used in vegetable and flower gardens, landscaping, and many other applications.
Household Hazardous Waste
Common household items such as paints, cleaners, oils, batteries, and pesticides contain hazardous components. One way to help determine if your household waste has hazardous components is to read the labels on products. Labels that read "danger," "warning," "caution," "toxic," "corrosive," "flammable," or "poison" identify products that might contain hazardous materials. Leftover portions of these products are called household hazardous waste (HHW). These products, if mishandled, can be dangerous to your health and the environment.
Although we cannot completely stop using hazardous products, we can make sure that leftovers are managed properly. The best way to handle HHW is to reduce the amount initially generated by giving leftover products to someone else to use. Although federal laws allow the disposal of HHW in the trash, many communities have collection programs for HHW to reduce the potential harm posed by these chemicals. These programs ensure the safe disposal of HHW in facilities designed to treat or dispose of hazardous waste. More than 3,000 HHW collection programs exist in the United States.

+ - Over 100 Missing Episodes of Doctor Who Located->
Submitted by MajikJon
MajikJon writes: The BBC junking policies of the 60's and 70's resulted in the loss of hundreds of episodes of the classic series in its earliest years. Through the work of ardent fans over the succeeding decades, dozens of these lost episodes have been painstaking recovered and added back into the BBC archives. Now, it seems, the searchers have struck the mother lode. According to the Wikipedia, there are currently 106 missing episodes of the serial. If reports are correct, we may finally get to see all the episodes.

Discussion in 'Fly Swaps' started by Ned Wright, Dec 27, 2008.
great, glad they made it on time...
I got 12 sets, they will be out monday...
Excellent Ned!:thumb:
Can't wait to try them out. Will be like Christmas in January.
I'm still thinking what I want to tie for a streamer.
Currently looking at some Cutthroat patterns out of one of Mr. Johnsons books.
Excellent, a good begining to what promises to be a great swap. Looking forward to seeing everyones patterns.
Flies will be out in the am. I have pictures in my gallery until a new gallery is created.
All the flies look great. Some spooked me when I opened the mail.... amazingly buggy...
Thanks everyone for getting things in on-time. I have collected $70 for MVT, if you haven't sent it yet please do next month ($10).
Without sounding like a nag we did have a few problems.... 1) no return postage 2) less than 12 flies... if you didn't get one of your own you were short, makes it much easier for me if you send 12 flies 3) no toe tags (public humiliation on this one as I have no intention of making them for you)
If it happens again "I will be crackin skulls!!"
Great work from everyone,
Pics look great, can't wait to see the real things. Now to settle on a streamer.
Nice pictures, I can't wait to try them out. Still pondering what to tie for the streamer category. So many choices...........:hmmm:
Hey Folks, Those are some great looking flies you all turned in for the first round of this swap. Excellent work by everyone. Crack that whip, Ned.
Flies should be showing in the mail in the next day or two or three.
I think I might have committed a federal offence when I answered "no" to the animal parts question, but oh well.
Sharpshooter223, I am holding on to your flies until the end of feb. I hope that was what you wanted. If not let me know and I will send you the nymphs.
Next deadline is four weeks away, early doesn't hurt. I am half done with my muddlers....
best swap master ever he even talks shit...hilarious. i'm working on a jig nasty right now... pine squirrel anyone
I'm more then half done with my Coney Mudlers. It's been a year since I've spun deer hair, so the first few were a little rusty. I was wishing I did buggers after 6..... I weighted them well for spring run off.
Flies just arrived. They all look great.
Flies arrived in the mail today. What a great bunch of bugs!! I guess I better get going on those streamers. Ned's a pushy, hard-driving, task master.
Very impressive flies everyone. Thank you. Even the toe tags are professionally done.
For those that haven't fished a shop vac, that simple fly has out fished any nymph in my box over the past four years.
Ned, my Sheila sculpins will be mailed tomorrow.
Don't overlook the Dress Down Nymph. It will catch fish!!! Trust me!
In case anyone is interested in tying some up, here is the recipe:
Dress-Down Nymph
Hook: Daiichi 1150 or a similar scud hook, sizes 16 to 10.
Head: 3/32- or 1/8-inch-diameter gold bead; use a 5/64-inch diameter gold
bead on smaller flies.
Thread: Black 8/0.
Body: Yellow or Amber V-Rib, natural gray or tan ostrich herl.
Antennae: Pearl Krystal Flash.
Hackle: Hungarian partridge back feather.
Collar: One peacock herl.
Fish On!
awesome flies gents! super impressed with the quality of the ties. i will have to do a more professional toe tag for my streamers :thumb: I cant wait to fish these guys in Montana in april...
I will agree with the others the patterns and the quality of the nymphs are excellent. I am excited to see everyones streamers. My streamers are done and I will try to post them tommorow. Once again great work by all.
Tight lines gentlemen,
I now have 5 set of streamers in hand. Looking forward to the other seven.
We have about a week til they need to be in the mail.
Get r done,
Mine will be done in the next 2 days, mailed no later than Monday
Just finished mine and they will be in the mail Monday.
To all:
I'm impressed by the creativity from everyone. I myself can't wait to try these out!

De Lisio Quarterback Red 2007
Rhone Red Blends from McLaren Vale, Australia
Winemaker's Notes
There are very few Australian wines that can boast 4 varieties deliberately blended together to achieve a wine that tastes so complete. This blend of Shiraz, Grenache, Merlot & Cabernet Sauvignon has good palate weight and structure without any hint of aggressive young tannins as they have been balanced out by the Grenache and Merlot. This wine is formulated to allow for early drinking however the addition of the Shiraz and in particular the Cabernet gives the wine focus, length and ageability. Aptly named Quarterback as the 4 varieties are in approximately equal proportions. This is blending at its wonderfully, challenging best.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "Last year I was shown four De Lisio wines, this year only the entry level 2007 Quarterback, a sign of the times in a microcosm. The wine is a blend of 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 27% Merlot, 26% Shiraz, and 17% Grenache aged for 15 months in seasoned French oak. Dark ruby in color, it delivers an enticing bouquet of floral notes, spice box, black cherry, and blueberry. Full-bodied, ripe, and sweetly-fruited on the palate, it manages to retain a sense of elegance. This lengthy blend has enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years but there is no reason to delay your gratification. It is also an excellent value."
De Lisio Winery
During a visit to Australia in June of 2004 Benjamin Hammerschlag was assessing the portfolio of another young winemaker in McLaren Vale. During the tasting, the parcels that stood out time and again had come from Tony De Lisio's vineyards. The impression stuck and yielded an extensive tasting of De Lisio's wines. Consistently impressed, Hammerschlag approached De Lisio and discovered an Italian immigrant with 30 years of experience in McLaren Vale. De Lisio's talents lie in the vineyard and his connection to other immigrants in the region give him access to some of the best fruit in the district which happen to meet the classic Epicurean Wines criteria; phenomenal raw materials transformed into wines that are jam-packed with intensity. View all De Lisio Wines
About McLaren ValeView a map of McLaren Vale wineries
McLaren Vale is home to the oldest Australian vineyard, with grapes planted in 1838. It's a coastal area with the Indian Ocean bordering the west, which contributes a cooling factor that prevents the grapes from getting too hot. In all, the climate is a perfect one for the vines.
Notable FactsIn McLaren Vale, there are vines as far as the eye can see. As in other parts of Australia, Shiraz and Grenache are the most-planted grapes of the region. While red rules, whites are able to hold their own here too. With the warm yet reasonable Mediterranean climate, white grapes like Chardonnay, Semillon and even some Sauvignon Blanc grow well. The wines are round and smooth and the producers in the region are excellent.
About AustraliaLike the United States, which is about the same size, Australia's winemaking regions are huddled into one or two pockets of the country. The state of South Australia, which produces about 60% of the country's wine, also has the most wineries and sub-regions, including McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and Barossa Valley. New South Wales is home to the Hunter Valley, while the smaller, southern state of Victoria is best known for theYarra Valley. Head way west to the very large state of Western Australia and you'll find the tiny region of Margaret River at the southern tip.
Customer ReviewsSign In to Add Your Review4 }div>
Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Creating Change in Laguna
In Laguna Beach, art is ubiquitous. Art galleries seem to be on every block. Our office is next door to a sculpture garden and a two-minute walk from a ten-foot, bearded statue of Laguna Beach's legendary "Greeter". It's as if the entire city were right-brained.
It is only fitting that the city would try to help out the local homeless population with a little bit of flare. In order to raise awareness on how to properly make a donation to the homeless and cut down on panhandling, local artists were commissioned to turn parking meters into eye-catching street art.
Scattered throughout the town, these meters serve a dual purpose. Upon closer examination, they are donation stations aiding homeless programs within the Laguna Beach area. The program is called "Create Change" and has been around since 2008.
We have found a couple of the meters in person and discovered a few more online. Let us know if there are any we've missed.
Social Media's All-Time Most Viral Super Bowl Ads
Just in time for Super Bowl XLIX, marketing technology company Unruly has released a list of the most shared Super Bowl ads of all time by measuring the combined Facebook, Twitter and blog shares per spot.
Originally aired in 2011, Volkswagen's "The Force" ad tops the list with 5.3 million shares. The ad for the 2012 Volkswagen Passat features a kid in a Darth Vader costume attempting to use the Force on the family dog, a baby doll and a sandwich, among other household staples. When the child's father pulls into the driveway in his Passat, the child rushes outside to try his luck on the car. In the next scene, the dad is looking through the kitchen window, tricking the child into believing he actually accomplished his goal of harnessing the Force.
The next year, Volkswagen followed up with another "Star Wars"-themed spot that appears eighth on the list with 900,000 shares. The ad features a group of dogs barking to the tune of "The Imperial March (Darth Vader's Theme)".
Despite the successes, Volkswagen is sitting out the 2015 Super Bowl.
Budweiser appears on the list three times (2, 3, 4) with a combined 8.4 million shares, including a one-minute spot featuring the company's iconic Clydesdale horses roaming New York City before kneeling down in reverence of the city's altered skyline. The ad – entitled "Respect" – aired only once, on February 3, 2002, five months after the events of September 11th.
Also of note: three of the most-shared ads on the list were movie trailers, including two from the "Fast and the Furious" franchise.
The majority of the ads that appear on the list are from the last few years, reflecting the increasing ubiquity of social media in society, so it is very likely that a few spots from the 2015 Super Bowl will make it onto the next iteration of this list.
1. Volkswagen – "The Force" (2011)
2. Budweiser – "Respect" (2002)
3. Budweiser – "Brotherhood" (2013)
4. Budweiser – "Puppy Love" (2014)
5. Dodge Ram Trucks – "Farmer" (2013)
6. Universal – "Fast and the Furious 6″ Movie Trailer (2013)
7. Chevrolet w/ OK Go – "Needing/Getting" Music Video Trailer (2012)
8. Volkswagen – "The Bark Side" (2012)
9. Universal – "Fast Five" Movie Trailer (2011)
10. Paramount – "Star Trek: Into Darkness" Movie Trailer (2013)
Uniquely Laguna
The happiest postal worker we've ever known. We always look forward to seeing him.
Looking for a beautiful New Year's resolution?
Since Johnson Gray's move to Laguna Beach, we've noticed that every day around 5 PM people in the area all migrate to main beach to watch the sunset. Before we moved here, we were unaware of this daily ritual, but we can see why people do it. We enjoyed it so much so that we would like to share 7 reasons why you should make a sunset a regular routine in your life.
- The calming effect of a sunset can slow your perception of time.
- It's only 20 minutes a day.
- A dose of fresh air promotes a sense of vitality.
- It's healthy, whether you walking, running, or simply observing.
- It will force you to put your phone down.
- It will help you appreciate life's gift.
- They can inspire you.

The Most Influential Brands on Social Media
If you've visited Amazon's site lately and noticed the logo smiling a bit wider than usual, it may be because the company was recently named the most socially influential and engaging brand by Klout, a website that uses social media analytics to rank its users according to social influence.
For the rankings, Klout reviewed the Interbrand 2014 Best Global Brand report, a definitive list of the world's most valuable brands, then assigned each brand a "Klout Score" – a 100-point numerical grade that measures the scope and strength of a brand's online social influence – to create the Klout 50.
One of the insights gleaned from the study is that having a strong, well-recognized brand does not necessarily translate to success in social media. For instance, Apple was ranked first on Interbrand's most valuable brand list, but found itself 28th on the Klout 50 behind less top-of-mind brands such as Audi, Adobe, Nokia, Goldman Sachs, and Tiffany & Co. In fact, Google, Microsoft, and McDonald's were the only brands that ranked in the top 10 of both studies.
The purpose of this blog post is to show examples of what the highest-rated of the Klout 50 – Amazon, Microsoft, and MTV – are doing right.
Amazon typically reaches out over social networks with context-based engagements with offers in tow, such as this "Back to School"-themed question meant to provoke nostalgic responses as well as send users to the Back to School section of Amazon.
Intermingled with news and offers, Microsoft has a #5to9 campaign, asking users how they spend their post-work hours. These updates are accompanied by inspirational images of scaled mountaintops or children learning, and the photos are tagged with hard-nosed acronyms like ASAP and ETA with reimagined meanings – "All Summits Are Possible" and "Educating Tomorrow's Artists" respectively.
One of the things I found most impressive was MTV's dedication to social media. The brand ranks 80th Interbrand's list but brings home the bronze on the Klout 50. Their handling of their television show "Teen Wolf" gives great insight into executing a broad, socially-engaging campaign. MTV uses Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Vine, YouTube, and even YouTube personalities in their social media efforts. In addition to the official "Teen Wolf" account, the show's cast and crew contribute a large social presence, and the fans of the show react in kind.
Such an example is that of Quinn Wentz, a "Teen Wolf" fan who uploaded a song to YouTube based on the trailer of an upcoming episode on January 9th, 2014. The music video soon garnered the attention of not only the official "Teen Wolf" Twitter handle, but also several members of the main cast.
By the end of January, MTV was using Wentz' fan-made video as an official promo for the show.
MTV also has four social media-centered shows involving "Teen Wolf" streaming on MTV.com. Two – "The FANtastic Show" and "The Teen Wolf After, After Show" – are hosted by YouTube personalities Tyler Oakley and lohanthony, respectively. In the third, "Pack Reacts", the aforementioned lohanthony reacts to the reactions of fans coming in through Instagram video. The last, "Wolf Watch", consists of the entire cast in a talk show-type setting, talking to a different fan every week through Skype.
With all-encompassing social media efforts such as this, it is easy to see how MTV landed so high on the Klout 50.
Teeing up for the Blind Children's Learning Center
The Blind Children's Learning Center held its 2014 Fall Golf Classic on November 3rd, 2014 at the El Niguel Country Club in Laguna Niguel, CA. Proceeds from the day – amounting to $90,000 – will help to provide a "Total Communications Plan" for every child the organization serves that is blind, deaf-blind, or multi-disabled. The event consisted of 18 holes of scramble golf on the private, member-owned country club, as well as a blindfold putting contest, a post-tournament cocktail reception and silent auction, and capped off with an awards dinner and live auction.
Johnson Gray has proudly been teaming up with the Blind Children's Learning Center since 2010, assisting them with charitable events as well as their advertising needs. It is common for a child with visual impairments to have expressive and receptive developmental delays. With the "Total Communication Plan" provided by the Blind Children's Learning Center, a certified deaf-blind intervener studies each child's mode of communication and behaviors to develop and implement a communication system created specifically for each child, helping them to reach their full potential.

Funniest Political Ads of 2014
The big day is finally here everybody! After months of campaigning, millions of Americans will perform their civic duty by driving to their local polling place (which is usually in some neighbor's dirty garage) and select the candidate they believe will remain true to their promises made during the election cycle. Politicians are known for some of their hilarious political ads and we've compiled some of our favorites.
1. JD Winteregg "Electile Dysfunction"
Having trouble performing your civic duty? JD Winteregg for Congress used twice daily proved to the voters of Ohio that the moment was right.
2. Joni Ernst "Squeal"
Joni Ernst knows her way around a hog… Just keep her away from scissors.
3. Mitch McConnell "Commercials"
This Kentucky Senator pays homage to Jean Claude Van Damme and has an inordinate amount of bloodhounds. The only thing he isn't flexible on is Obamacare. Guess he should get a new Communications Team.
4. Thomas Ravenel "Do they Know?"
Citizens of South Carolina endorse Thomas Ravenel with creepy smiles and a weird thumbs up.

Editor's Review
This pet store with a family feel offers handmade doggie and kitty treats in its bakery and specializes in wheels for your animal, too.
A must-visit for pet owners visiting Milwaukee's Historic Third Ward, Metropawlis stocks toys and treats for the family's furry friends. As evidenced by the store's name, the offerings skew heavily toward goodies for dogs and cats, with an emphasis on the former. As much as possible, merchandise comes from mom-and-pop vendors and other independent, family-owned operations--no big-box stuff--and the toothy delights available in the pet bakery at the store's rear (including "Yappy Meals" and tidbits shaped like pizza and other human foods) are all made locally. Perhaps the best known of the shop's products are its pet strollers, which are just what they sound like--enclosable carriages on wheels built for animals to ride in. The strollers are billed as a great way to safely get critters some fresh air in the middle of the city.

Not only does he have a longer offseason to enjoy this year, but Marcus Semien also has more reason to revel in it.
They won't abandon the first phase of their rebuild, but the White Sox are willing to move onto the next stage in order to compete in 2015.
Paul Konerko said he took some "dry swings" yesterday and felt 'OK' afterward. He has not played since Sept. 2 in Minnesota due to a fracture sesamoid bone in his left hand.
White Sox center fielder Adam Eaton has been known to give it his all on the field.
And now he's taking that extra effort off the field.
Chris Sale has suddenly become one of the White Sox veteran leaders.
