Plum Village Meditations brings listeners four authentic meditations, just as they are taught at this celebrated Zen sanctuary and peace center. These direct teachings from Plum Village include a 45-minute bell-sounding meditation introduced and rung by Thich Nhat Hanh, plus three simple and enduring guided meditations led by Sister Jina: -- A conscious breathing practice for calming the mind and cultivating joy-- Body appreciation and attunement-- A meditation for transforming anger into "seeds of kindness"
Ideal support for a daily mindfulness practice, these contemplations grow more fruitful each time listeners return to them. Plum Village Meditations is a rare opportunity to join in the sitting practices of one of the world's great meditation centers. Superb digital recording.
Thich Nhat Hanh's teaching is about how to live here and now. But it is mostly a delightful place to spend a while, to balance heart and mind". -- Whole Earth Review

THE MODERATOR: Questions for Coach Vigneault.
Q. Update on Manny Malhotra?
COACH VIGNEAULT: Manny is the same as he was yesterday. He's day to day. Not skating today.
Q. Alain, everyone is very excited among your players to play their first Stanley Cup game. Take us back to when you were young or when you were playing. How did you envision your first Stanley Cup game going? Were you going to play in it or coach in it?
COACH VIGNEAULT: Well, quickly realized that my potential as a player was real limited, so unless I played for a real good team, wasn't going to get a chance to play for the Stanley Cup.
So when I started my coaching career in Tier II level, it was basically really just to give something back to the game. I had made it to the NHL as a player because there were some great volunteers, and I wasn't really thinking at that time I was going to make coaching my career.
All of a sudden I had success, moved on to major/junior, had success there, went back and forth a couple years. Now after almost 25 years of coaching, I'm finally getting a chance to play for the Stanley Cup.
So I'm really excited. When you get in this business, you're not quite sure how long you're going to be in it. It's not an easy business to get into, it's not an easy business to stay into, and it's not an easy business once you're out of the NHL to get back in. I'm going to appreciate this moment and enjoy the time.
Q. Do you have family in town that have come to support you?
COACH VIGNEAULT: Yeah, I've got my two girls that are here. Got in last night. My best friend is coming in today. I've kept it to a real limited group. Want to stay focused on what we need to do here.
Q. A lot of players on your team that have Olympic experience, big-game experience. Do they at all need to use that to their advantage when they're playing in something that is in many ways the same, but in many ways completely different?
COACH VIGNEAULT: Well, I think most of our players at one time or another, whether it be at this level or another level, have played big games. I'm very confident that once the puck drops tonight, our emotions are going to be at the right level. We're going to work and execute our game the way we like to play, play real hard.
I'm sure Boston's going to do the same thing. They're a great hockey team. They've got a lot of balance. They've got some players that have also played on a big stage in big moments. I'm expecting a real hard and real good hockey series.
Q. Can I have some clarification on your first answer. When you said Manny wasn't skating today, does that mean tonight as well?
COACH VIGNEAULT: We don't discuss lineup possibilities. You should know that by now (smiling).
Q. But the game is today. Should we assume he's not playing?
COACH VIGNEAULT: We don't discuss lineup situations.
Q. You've won Game 1 the first three rounds. Outside of the obvious, that it gives you a 1-0 lead in the series, what does Game 1 victories mean for a team, a coaching staff in terms of preparation as you move on for the series, or at least move into Game 2?
COACH VIGNEAULT: Other than you're three games away from winning that series, I mean, it's one game. Our philosophy – you've heard me say this I don't know how many times this year – has been one game at a time. We get ready for that game, we play it, we analyze it, make the adjustments that we need, and move on. That's what we're going to do tonight. After that we're going to get ready for Game 2.
Q. Can you talk a little bit about Cody Hodgson, his recovery from injury, what you expect from him in the future?
COACH VIGNEAULT: He's a kid that we feel has a tremendous amount of upside. You can really tell that this young man has a love of the game, great hockey sense. He's going to find a way to play.
We brought him in at the end of the year because we felt that he could help us here in this playoff stretch. He has at different moments. But he's a young man and he's only going to continue to improve.
Q. Do you already kind of have a sense or will you maybe not know for sure until tonight whether the layoff was really good or whether it might take a while to sort of get back into that playoff mode?
COACH VIGNEAULT: I think we used this time off extremely well from a hockey standpoint as far as making sure that our guys stay real sharp on the ice through practices, real sharp as far as what we've done off ice with Roger and his group. Glenn, our skill coach, has worked a lot with our players before practices.
You know, I don't see this layoff being a problem at all.
Q. There are reports that Colin Campbell has resigned. Could you give us your thoughts on his time and his role with the league.
COACH VIGNEAULT: I haven't heard that. I'm not going to comment on something that I haven't heard. I'll comment on my team and a little bit on the Bruins.

An interview with:
THE MODERATOR: Questions, please.
Q. Henrik, outside of the obvious which gives you a 1-0 lead, what has winning Game 1 of the last three rounds done for you, knowing you've won a game, that you have the lead?
HENRIK SEDIN: Well, I think it's a really big game. It means apart from being up 1-0, it gives you confidence, it shows you can play against the other team. You don't really have to change a lot of things.
You go out, you're up 1-0, the next game they're going to have to make adjustments to beat you. That's an advantage, for sure.
Q. Henrik, you said yesterday that eight days off was too much. What would have been the right number? Is the extra days off added to the nerves or anticipation of this?
HENRIK SEDIN: I don't know if it's too much, but it's plenty enough. Four or five days would have been good. I mean, we like to play games. We don't really like to practice as much.
It would be nice to get going earlier. But this is the way it is. It's not a disadvantage.
Q. The anticipation going into it?
HENRIK SEDIN: It's fine. I think it's been nice to get a few days to get the big winning in San Jose and then move on to this thing.
I think a lot of times in playoffs, you play every second day, you can't really enjoy the wins. So I thought it was good to get some time to do that.
Q. Daniel and Sami, the three of you have played big international games, big playoff games. The three of you are the longest-serving Canucks about to play in a Stanley Cup final. How does this rank, the anticipation, compared to all the things you've done in your career?
DANIEL SEDIN: I think this is obviously the biggest game you can play. I think you look at Olympic finals, World Championships. But when you play this long, with good friends and teammates, it's the biggest game you can play.
I mean, you played 82 games just to get in, then it's a long run in the playoffs, too. For sure the biggest games you can play in.
SAMI SALO: Yeah, for sure. It's like the Holy Grail. Very long road to get to the playoffs. Only a few players have a chance to play for the Cup. Nothing compared to the Olympics or the World Championships.
Q. Daniel, could you describe the emotions and nerves right now. What is going through your mind the morning of the game?
DANIEL SEDIN: I think we're pretty calm. There's going to be some nerves tonight obviously. If you don't have nerves tonight, I think something's wrong with you (smiling).
We're excited. We're going to have fun, enjoy every moment of it. So we're ready to go.
Q. What would it mean if Manny Malhotra plays tonight?
DANIEL SEDIN: It would mean a lot. Even when he's been injured, he's been there, been with the team, given advice to players, been in the locker room. He's been there all the time.
But I think having him play and having him in the locker room would mean a lot to our team.
HENRIK SEDIN: Same thing. He's a guy that can help us no matter how many minutes he plays. He's been so key to our faceoffs and PKs. We'll see what happens. Again, he's day to day, as he's been the last week or so, so we'll see what happens.
Q. Sami, I know you talked a little bit yesterday about your family situation. Can you talk about the importance of the series to you and your son, as a hockey dad yourself?
SAMI SALO: Yeah, for sure. Everybody in the family's obviously very excited. We haven't seen this before. You know, everybody's very supportive. For sure I know my passed-away father will be cheering up somewhere.
Q. How difficult is it to play against Chara?
HENRIK SEDIN: I don't know. I haven't played a lot against him. We'll see.
He's big, he's strong. But he's not like a lot of the other big guys. He can make plays and he sees the ice really well, doesn't make a lot of mistakes.
It's going to be a tough matchup. But I think for us, the key for us is to get up to our potential. If we can do that, I think it's going to work out.
Q. Has the anticipation and hype matched what you thought what it would be?
DANIEL SEDIN: Well, we knew it was going to be big, of course. The fans are excited. The whole city's behind us.
It's been awesome, the whole playoffs. Especially now the last days before the finals, it's been unbelievable. So, like I said, we're going to enjoy the moment and have some fun with it.
THE MODERATOR: Thank you, gentlemen.
We have Ryan Kesler, Alexandre Burrows, and Alexander Edler.
We'll take questions, please.
Q. For guys that have played in big international competitions, Sami and Daniel Sedin spoke about this being the biggest for them. Can you discuss whether you sort of feel the same way or differently in that regard.
RYAN KESLER: No, I definitely feel the same way. Obviously the Olympics was one of the biggest stages I've ever played on. I believe this is bigger. I've said it before: we worked extremely hard all year and I've played with these two guys next to me for close to five years. I played with Alex longer.
Every year we work for the same goal. To finally get here and to finally have a chance at achieving our goal, it's something special.
Q. Ryan, there's a good chance that your line might be matched up against Krejci's tonight. Can you talk about that challenge.
RYAN KESLER: I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves there (smiling).
That line's very skilled. If I am, in fact, matched up against that line, it's going to be a tough challenge, just like every series.
Q. Talk a bit about how you relish that.
RYAN KESLER: I take a lot of pride in the defensive part of my game. Being matched against really good offensive guys like that, it's definitely a challenge. I definitely relish the role.
Q. Ryan, there's a possibility that Manny might play tonight. What would it mean if he's in the lineup?
RYAN KESLER: If he is in tonight, it would be special. But if not, you know, he's working to play in these playoffs. Whenever he's ready, we're going to welcome him with open arms.
Q. You guys have won seven straight Game 1s. You haven't trailed at any point in these playoffs. How much more important does that make Game 1 tonight?
ALEXANDRE BURROWS: Obviously you always want to start a series on the right foot and get the first win.
We've had home-ice advantage throughout these playoffs. We like to feed off our crowd, feed off that energy, have good first games.
At the same time we have to focus on what we got to do to be successful. If we do that, we'll get the result we're looking for.
Q. Alex, do you expect this to be the most physical series to date of the four you will play and how much do you relish taking the body?
ALEXANDER EDLER: Yeah. I mean, it's the playoffs. It's always physical in the Stanley Cup final. So I'm sure it's going to be tight out there. It's going to be a lot of hits, a lot of physical plays. I think that's the way it should be. It's the Stanley Cup final here. I think that will be good. The crowd will like it. We will like it.
Q. Can you describe what you're feeling, what you're thinking going into this Stanley Cup final Game 1, something you've been thinking about for many years or decades.
RYAN KESLER: Well, I'm excited. You know, like I said before, we play to play in June. It's going to be fun tonight.
Obviously there's going to be some butterflies, all that good stuff. But as soon as the puck drops, we've done a good job all year of staying in the moment, taking it one game at a time. We're going to enjoy this ride we're going to be on.

2013 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca
The pinnacle of Mustang performance.
The Laguna Seca offers very good steering feedback right up to the limit, speaking in smooth sentences until impending breakaway causes something like vehicular Tourette's syndrome, wherein the wheel barks stuff back at you in abrupt, short spurts. When in doubt, one can always resort to steering with the accelerator, although anyone driving a trim level named for one of America's most iconic tracks should know that's not the quickest way around a circuit. For quick track work, the Laguna Seca seems happiest when you get all your braking done before turn-in and then get on the power just past the apex. And we do mean quick track work: We ran a Laguna at our 2012 Lightning Lap festival of speed, where it posted a better laptime at VIR than any previous Mustang.
All Laguna Secas feature fully functional front brake ducts that funnel fresh air directly onto the 14-inch vented rotors to keep temps down and stave off fade. (They're opened by removing the circular panels in the grille.) Our test car took 150 feet to come to a stop from 70 mph, five fewer than it took that base Boss last year. The pedal is firm and linear in the Laguna Seca and clearly configured for heavier-duty use, but it's not so aggressive that it becomes a nuisance in normal or spirited street driving.
Inside Looking Out
Heritage-inspired School Bus Yellow and black exterior finishes are the only options for 2013 Laguna Secas, which also swap last year's C-shaped stripes for hockey-stick graphics. Sterling Gray accents and a neat but kind of cheaply executed graphic of the Laguna Seca track layout on the faux-fuel-filler lid at the rear continue the theme. Standard LED lighting, a revised grille and splitter, and functional hood extractors make an appearance on all Boss 302 models for 2013. Ford says the large rear spoiler can generate nearly 90 pounds of downforce at 140 mph.
99-Percent Perspiration, 1-Percent Inspiration
The Boss 302 and this Laguna Seca spin-off didn't happen by magic. Ford has dutifully honed the Mustang's anachronistic suspension setup, powertrain lineup, and aesthetics for the past few years. The Boss 302 Laguna Seca wraps you in a big, fuzzy bear hug of stupidly capable acceleration, cornering, and braking ability; in comparison, the cross-town-rival Chevrolet Camaro SS1LE comes across as cool and clinical, although it, too, is a capable machine. If there's one knock on the Laguna Seca, it's that it isn't exactly cheap, with the MSRP just nudging in under the $50,000 mark—the regular Boss is some seven grand cheaper, and the Camaro 1LE comes in at $37,035—although we'd still call it a tremendous performance value. Frankly, the car as a whole is tremendous, and one of the best available today. All hail the bossiest of Bosses.

Cru it yourself
If you were given the chance to make your own wine, without the risk and expense of buying a vineyard, would you take it? Judging by the crowd in the cellars of Chateau Teyssier, it's a pretty irresistible idea. At first glance, this is a typical open day at a beautiful estate five minutes outside the medieval village of Saint Emilion, on the right bank of Bordeaux. The difference is the guests are not here to taste the chateau's wines, but to sample the first results of their own take on the acclaimed 2009 vintage.
Various nationalities and ages are gathered around tables bearing bottles marked merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc - grape varieties they have chosen, grown in plots they have selected, and are now being blended and aged. Most of the wines will be bottled a year from now, under names and labels invented and designed by each participant.
These amateur winemakers - taking a break from their day jobs as lawyers, teachers, IT consultants, even actors - are making a minimum of one barrel of wine each (which works out at 300 bottles or 25 cases) with Crushpad, an American company that has recently set up in Bordeaux. The cost of a barrel starts at Euro6,600 (HK$65,000) or Euro22 per bottle, and the opportunity is open to anyone who is willing to sign up. This is citizen winemaking in action - pretty revolutionary for a region whose most famous winemakers are often descended from aristocratic families who have made wine in the region for centuries.
This weekend is the annual Client Mashup, an opportunity for barrel owners to head to Bordeaux, often for the first time, to check on the progress of their wines, which, until this point, they have just been following online. The grapes were picked about six months earlier (clients are welcome to help with harvest, but most don't have the time), and this is the chance to check that the flavours are on track and to make any tweaks to the blends before the wine begins its final ageing process. The mood is lively. 'I never expected winemaking to be so emotional - it really is like creating your own baby,' says one client, from Ukraine.
Maybe not entirely surprisingly, there are few French participants. 'We just had two Parisians this year,' says Stephen Bolger, CEO of Crushpad Bordeaux, 'and nobody from Bordeaux.' Rather, the mix seems mainly to be American, British and northern European, mostly young professionals making wine with friends who share the barrel costs between them. Among the crowd is Bernice Liu, Chinese-Canadian actress and singer who is known not only for her extensive work with TVB, but also for films such as The Legend is Born: Ip Man.
'I first heard about Crushpad through the internet,' Liu says. 'Not knowing anything about the process other than what I did and didn't like [to drink], I started surfing the Net.
'Someone like me who isn't a professional wine connoisseur bases taste on instinct. But the guys at Crushpad were great - you have the say as to how involved in the process you want to be.'
Liu started making wine with Crushpad in California, which is where the concept began in 2004. At first it was based in San Francisco, with grapes from Napa Valley vineyards and with the aim, in the words of founder Michael Brill, of 'enabling anyone with a serious interest in wine to participate in the magic of winemaking'.
Today, it has moved base to Napa and has a global list of clients making their own 'custom crush'. Although most are wine enthusiasts with no previous experience, many of the wines have received scores of 90+ from critics such as Robert Parker and the Wine Spectator. In 2008, Crushpad opened its outpost in Bordeaux and the temptation proved too much for Liu to resist.
'In wine, the ultimate thing is Bordeaux, so to travel here and to experience winemaking has been amazing,' Liu says.
In Napa, she made a single varietal chardonnay and merlot, while in Bordeaux she's making a white and a red blend. 'I just kind of go with what I feel like.'
More than 90 per cent of Crushpad clients have no previous experience of winemaking, and the vast majority have no intention of giving up their day jobs. They can follow the progress of their barrels throughout the year either by visiting the vineyards and cellars - based at Chateau Teyssier but using grapes grown at nine selected plots around the region, or by logging in to Crushnet, an online tool that allows clients to make key decisions about the style of wine they want at each step of the process. The fruit (with a choice of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and cabernet franc) is sourced from high-quality partner vineyards such as Pey Labrie in Canon-Fronsac, Le Ruisseau in Cotes de Castillon, Grand Pontet in St Emilion, Grand Cathelie in Pauillac and Chateau Le Coteau in Margaux. The resulting wines will be bottled as AOC Bordeaux or, in some cases, AOC St Emilion.
Inexperience is not an issue - the company has put together a detailed guide to winemaking that explains what effect each of your choices will have on the final wine starting from the basics, such as getting a round, fleshy flavour from the merlot grape, or a more elegant, tannic and masculine edge from cabernet sauvignon; to the more subtle decisions such as the toasting level of your barrel and the amount of time you want to keep your grape skins in contact with the juice.
To help clients define their wine style, Stephen Bolger has assembled a team of leading local winemakers and consultants. Jonathan Maltus, owner of Chateau Teyssier, where the Crushpad facilities are based, is a renowned winemaker who has won acclaim for his micro-cuvees such as Le Dome and Les Asturies. Clients also have access to the expertise of consultants Eric Boissenot and Stephane Derenoncourt. Between them, they make wine for some of the most illustrious names in Bordeaux, including Clos Fourtet, Chateau La Gaffeliere, Domaine de Chevalier, Chateau Lafite, Chateau Latour, Chateau Margaux and Chateau Mouton Rothschild.
With this expertise as back-up, clients piece together the type of wine they want. 'Our vineyard list is like a puzzle,' says Bolger. 'Each vineyard we select must have different characteristics to offer clients, depending on whether they prefer a left bank or right bank style, or anything in between.'
Bolger is visiting Hong Kong this month to meet his growing client base from the region. 'For once, we are followers, not leaders, here. More than most markets, Hong Kong and Chinese consumers have four key hallmarks of the typical Crushpad citizen-winemaker - one of the world's deepest appreciations for Bordeaux red wines, an intense entrepreneurial spirit, a deep curiosity and a continuing thirst for experience. With that profile, the jump to creating your own premium Bordeaux is not that difficult.'
Most Crushpad clients are making wine just for fun, or for a special event such as an anniversary or wedding, but some choose to sell their bottles. So will we be able to buy the Bernice Liu Bordeaux blend?
'I thought about incorporating the wine I make with a local charity ... but I want to try it first to make sure it really is 'me' before I start sharing it with the world,' she says.
She might find it's a difficult decision - London friends Adrian Chopin and Richard Perris had intended to sell half but say, 'Now we're tasting it, it's just too good to part with.'
Crushpad is organising tasting events in Hong Kong in the week of Sep 13, including Sep 17 and 18 at Cipriani, hosted by Stephen Bolger. As all tastings are limited to 15 people per session. To book, please contact firstname.lastname@example.com or call +33 6 26 01 57 69

By Andrea Mandell, USA TODAY
NEW YORK Take a lead role in a movie or finish a semester at Columbia University. What would you do?
For most people, that decision takes a nanosecond. For James Franco, it was excruciating.
"I've turned down a lot of movies just to be in school," says the actor, who began his academic career with a bachelor's degree in English at UCLA. "And it felt like, 'All right, (acting) is still my job. I still need to do this.' "
He was just three credits shy of earning his MFA when a two-week overlap between his final semester's finish line and adventure film 127 Hours' start date forced his hand. "I can't support myself on an academic career, or directing, yet," he says. "So I took it."
He sounds pained.
"I've done my thesis, I've done everything," he says softly. Because he took the role, Franco lost a semester's worth of work and will not graduate this year.
Franco, 32, just closed the Tribeca Film Festival with his directorial debut, the documentary Saturday Night. Dressed in a button-down and jeans, with tousled brown curly hair, he does not often look at the interviewer, but he speaks earnestly.
When topics turn to his writing pursuits (Franco has a book deal with Scribner) or dedication to his craft (his next short film will open at Cannes), an easy grin stretches across his face. He has just flown in from shooting 127 Hours in Utah with director Danny Boyle (Slumdog Millionaire). The film tells the true story of Aron Ralston, a mountain climber who amputated his lower right arm after being trapped.
Franco will pursue a joint Ph.D. in English and film studies at Yale this fall. "I will have a little place in New Haven, but I'll keep my place (in New York)," he says. While turning out a mix of critical and mainstream hits, including Pineapple Express, Milk and the Spider-Man franchise, Franco has become a consummate New Yorker, enrolling in, but not yet completing, MFA programs at Columbia University, New York University and Brooklyn College.
"I love reading, I love fiction, I love books," he says of his curious résumé. "It's really hard to find a place where you can go and discuss those things seriously, other than a university or a writing program."
He also has busted a myriad of stereotypes, taking his A-list reputation across stops in daytime, prime-time and late-night television. Franco romanced a pillow on 30 Rock and raised eyebrows in a surprising turn as a dark artist on General Hospital.
To some, he says, his choices may seem "sporadic and crazy." But "I got to a point where it was, why not just do the projects that I'm interested in? If there are people that I love that want to work with me, I'm just going to work with them."
For Franco, who returns to General Hospital this summer, it's all a study in storytelling. "Soap operas, yeah, generally people think that's something to avoid, that's a 'low level' of entertainment," he says. "But if you look at a lot of movies that are released in theaters, they're just the same as soap operas."
Campus and canvas converged on Saturday Night. Initially just a short film on SNL star Bill Hader to complete an NYU assignment, Franco parlayed his access into 100 hours of footage capturing head writer Seth Meyers, Hader, Kristen Wiig, Fred Armisen and others as they weave through one week of show life. Franco is still trying to find a distributor for the film.
Next up, Franco woos Julia Roberts as a "rock 'n' roll yogi" in Eat, Pray, Love. "She's very easy to work with. I think we fell into it really easily," he says. Plus, he says, "I felt like I could do that character. My father, my brother, my family are very into meditation. I've been around it all my life."

Or, if you simply wish to learn more about this captivating hobby...
Continue reading!! We include much more information about joining our unit, the equipment required and the costs involved, and period impressions on this page. Of course, there is far more to reenacting than we could hope to include on this page. If you want even more information, visit the Contact page and call, write, or email for more information. If you have already decided that this hobby is for you, print out and mail our Application Form to the address listed on the Contact page.
The 9th New York, Company B helps prospective new members by having more experienced reenactors show them the ropes. They teach practical aspects of reenacting, equipment procurement, and the organization's authenticity standards. We have several meetings during the winter months and gather around the campfire during the summer evenings at reenactments to discuss regimental issues as well as just have general friendly conversation. We welcome any and all new members at any time.
We understand that not everybody has been to a Civil War Reenactment before. If you haven't, we encourage you to visit our Events page in order to find a reenactment near you to visit. Even if you have visited reenactments as a spectator before, you might not know what else the reenactors do outside of the hours the camp is open. So, if you think you might be interested in joining us, or just want to know more about what a Civil War Reenactment is like, please click on the link below.
What We Do at Reenactments
The 9th is constantly on the lookout for new recruits and welcomes anyone who shares our interest in Civil War Cavalry. We are a family organization and most events that we attend have activities for all members of the family. The ladies especially enjoy the Teas, Fashion Shows, and Military Balls. Women can also act as part of the U.S. Sanitary Commission, the Christian Commission, camp followers, laundresses, cooks, spies and many more. It is even possible (and historically accurate) for some women to disguise themselves as men and go right into the battle line.
If you are interested in Civil War reenacting as a hobby, it is important to understand that the cost can be a factor. While it is not out of line with many forms of recreation, and is a lot less expensive than many other hobbies, there is the financial aspect to consider. The members of the 9th understand this and will do all that we can to help those interested to put their kit (uniform and accoutrements) together.
This hobby requires an initial outlay of money to get yourself equipped, but it is relatively inexpensive from then on. Once you are equipped, all you have to do is get to the event; you sleep in a tent and you bring your own food. Motels and restaurants are not normally a factor (unless you so choose to sleep and dine off-site). The process of equipping can take as long as one year to complete, unless you can afford the entire cost all at once. It is perfectly acceptable to spread purchases out, many members acquire extra gear over time that can be loaned on a temporary basis to newer members. There are a number of sutlers (period merchants to the military) who can supply all of the items that are needed. It is highly advisable to contact us directly before purchasing anything. The last thing you want to do when equipping yourself is to have to purchase an item twice because it is the wrong style or from the wrong time period. Let the buyer beware!!
We have included, for reference, an equipment list in order to give you an estimate of the equipment involved and approximate prices. If a member of your family is handy with a sewing machine, it is also to make much of the clothing, as long as you use period correct materials. Again, be sure to get in contact with somebody from the 9th before purchasing anything. Be warned, the patterns available are often not for the faint of heart! This list is for the average cavalry trooper. If you would like to know what would be needed for civilian impressions, you will have to contact us.
Equipment List
Your Civil War Portrayal
Most reenactors assume a role, or "first-person impression," as a 19th century individual. What portrayal is best for you? You decide. Military impressions are varied. Most male members over the age of 16 portray cavalry troopers of the 9th New York Cavalry Cavalry Company "B" and fight as dismounted cavalry on the skirmish line during reenactments. We are strictly a dismounted unit. We do not ride horses because they are expensive and most small reenactments severely restrict or forbid their use. Furthermore, cavalry soldiers of both sides fought from horseback rarely. It was far more common to dismount to fight, using the horses only to get to the battlefield quickly. Other military impressions include medical personnel and "staff" personnel who would provide a function within the unit but who would not necessarily be on the main battle line. Non-military impressions include portrayals of civilian ladies and gentlemen of the era. The role of a civilian affords one an almost infinite number of opportunities. Some examples include Soldiers' Aid Society and laundress impressions, civilian businessmen, politicians, or 1860's craftsmen. Civilian reenactors are limited only by their imagination and those occupations which are accurate to the Civil War era.

New York Citigroup Inc. is announcing the redemption, in whole, of the following four series of its trust preferred securities:
The redemption date for each series of Redeemed TRUPS® is April 16, 2013. The cash redemption price payable for each Redeemed TRUPS® on the redemption date will equal:
These redemptions reflect Citigroup's ongoing efforts to enhance the efficiency of its funding and capital structure. Since the beginning of 2012 and including the redemptions announced today, Citigroup has retired $9.4 billion of trust preferred securities, reducing Citigroup's overall funding costs and efficiently deploying its ample liquidity.
The redemptions announced today were approved as part of Citi's planned capital actions pursuant to the 2013 Comprehensive Capital Analysis and Review (CCAR), are consistent with Citi's liability management strategy, and reflect Citi's strategy of continuing to optimize the capital structure under Basel III. Citigroup will continue to consider opportunities to redeem or repurchase trust preferred securities, based on several factors, including without limitation, the economic value, potential impact on Citigroup's net interest margin and borrowing costs, the overall remaining tenor of Citigroup's debt portfolio, as well as overall market conditions.
Citigroup's Tier 1 Common capital and related Tier 1 Common ratio, either under Basel I or as estimated under Basel III, will not be affected by the planned redemptions. Citigroup's Basel I Tier 1 Capital and its Basel 1 Tier 1 Capital ratio are expected to decrease by approximately $3B and 30 basis points, respectively.
The Redeemed TRUPS® are being redeemed, along with the common securities issued by Citigroup Capital VII, Citigroup Capital VIII, Citigroup Capital XIV and Citigroup Capital XV (collectively, the "Capital Trusts") and held by Citigroup, as a result of the concurrent redemption in whole by Citigroup of the junior subordinated debt securities held by each Capital Trust which underlie the respective series of Redeemed TRUPS®.
Beginning on the redemption date, the Redeemed TRUPS® will no longer be considered outstanding and distributions will no longer accrue on such securities.
The Bank of New York Mellon is the paying agent for the Redeemed TRUPS®.
For further information on the Redeemed TRUPS®, please see the related prospectuses at the following web addresses:

The Land Rover Discovery has made a very slow journey from its original incarnation in 1989 to today's 2012 model; over 23 years, with one major redesign and two minor ones, it feels like not all that much has changed. And that's for the better. We still have the very cool asymmetrical rear window, the go-anywhere ability, and the seven-seat passenger capability. Sadly, the rearmost seats have yet to change much, and still use an archaic and counter-intuitive operation to raise and lower. Despite the air suspension (added to the third-generation car), the Land Rover still feels very top-heavy and is susceptible to cross winds. What has changed include things like the U.S.-spec nomenclature (now LR4, after LR3 replaced Discovery), the heavily reworked interior that brings the LR4 well upscale with premium hides and soft-touch materials, and a powerful 5.0-liter V-8 engine. That V-8 sounds delicious – but it's the only engine option; combine the awkward third row and V-8-only powertrain and the Land Rover's mid-size offering becomes a hard sell against crossovers like the Audi Q7 and BMW X5 which offer multiple engine options.
Donny Nordlicht, Associate Web Editor
I think this big beast looks simply wrong covered in baby blue paint (oh, sorry, it's called Siberian silver). It's not as if there are so many LR4s on the road that you need an off color like this to make yours stand out from your neighbors'.
In general, though, I have a hard time finding faults with Land Rover's LR4, aside from its painful fuel economy and awkward size. You rarely get such an impressive sensation of acceleration — especially once the 5600-pound truck is moving at 20 mph or so — from a vehicle that can fit seven adults in extreme comfort and luxury. It also drives and steers quite well for something this large, although you can really feel the weight transfer, in the form of body roll and dive.
Land Rover's fantastically usable terraced lower tailgate makes loading lots of stuff easy and quick. The LED exterior lights are a nice touch, too, but you can see the circuit-board parts hiding amongst the taillamps if you look closely.
Rusty Blackwell, Copy Editor
Driving a big, heavy vehicle that is optimized for off-road use might seem like overkill for a simple workday commute, but somehow with the LR4 it all works. Every time I drive a Land Rover, I feel like I'm in full command of the road. The high seating position combined with the low beltline and large side windows provides a great view of the road and surrounding traffic. The seats are comfortable and the interior design is just quirky enough that you know it's a British vehicle. For one thing, there's a rather clunky-looking analog clock in the center of the control stack. For another, the nav system is the same as that found in Jaguar cars – it's easy to use but it is frustratingly slow to react to inputs.
Amy Skogstrom, Managing Editor
Amidst the thicket of premium SUVs on the market, Land Rovers still feel the best to me. Part of it is pure image — somehow the idea of a thirsty, leather-appointed Landie seems sophisticated and romantic in a way that a similarly designed BMW X5 never will. The Queen has one, after all. But credit Land Rover's execution, as well. The interior in the LR4 is an extraordinarily rich experience even for $61,000. The touch screen navigation system is still, well, touchy, but it's hard to care when sitting in this leather- and wood-lathered palace — no one uses better materials than Jaguar and Land Rover.
It's also quite fun to drive, at least for an old-school SUV. The steering is tuned for the same light, accurate feel one finds in Jaguars, which makes the LR4 easy to maneuver in parking lots and even enjoyable through some gentle turns. And though the 5.0-liter V-8 won't win any awards from the Sierra Club, it is certainly refined and responsive.

Rep. Curtis Oda, R-Clearfield, wants to allow citizens to shoot feral cats ("Utah bill would permit shooting feral animals," Tribune, Jan. 16). This bright idea is not only barbaric, it's pointless.
Feral cats form colonies around reliable food sources. If a cat is "removed" from the colony, the remaining unaltered cats will turn their breeding up a notch to compensate. I liken it to the mythical serpent Hydra: cut off one head and two grow back in its place.
There is a solution that will actually mitigate the feral cat problem: trap, neuter, return. Under TNR, cats are caught in humane traps, transported to vets for castration and vaccination and returned to the colony. It's cheaper than it sounds. I've done this with the colony I tend, and we now have a group of flabby, confirmed bachelor cats who reward us with free pest control. (For info, see www.UtahPets.org.)
TNR is probably not trigger-happy enough for Oda's liking. Perhaps Oda could just declare open season on the irresponsible folks who dump their unwanted pets by the roadside. (Relax, we'll use paintball guns.) After all, the real root of the feral cat problem is the behavior of savage humans.

Guns, Drugs Found in Troy Raid
When they raided a 9th Street apartment in Troy late last night, cops made four arrests, found a loaded .357 magnum handgun plus 30 packets of heroin, according to Troy Police.
Monday night, Troy's Firearms Interdiction and Narcotics Suppression Unit (FINS) served a search warrant at 313 9th street 1st Floor in Troy at 9:30 a.m. It began with Intelligence that was gathered and quickly analyzed along with calls from the public. Due to the thought that guns were in the apartment, the search warrant was executed by the Troy P.D. Emergency Response Team (ERT). The Troy Police Department K-9 units assisted in the search warrant, police said.
"The search warrant was the result of a short, but intense investigation by FINS and the NYS Police CNET (Capital Division)," police said in a statement.
Four people inside the apartment were arrested and arraigned in Troy City Court Tuesday morning:
Jacob A. Cargill, 22, of the Bronx (top left), Larenzo Lamont Escobales, 19, of Corliss Park Apts., Troy (top right), Zaequan Morrison, 16, of Old 6th Ave., Troy (second row, left) and Joshua Vega, 22, of River Street, Troy (second row, right). Each are charged with Criminal Possession of a Weapon (2nd Degree) and Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance (3rd Degree).

(NSU NEWSROOM--March 4, 2014)--Andre Quattlebaum can't wait until the time of year when he can walk around on campus without a coat.
As the sophomore mass communications major stepped in slushy snow toward the Student Services Center on campus, he said it is time for a break in the weather.
"I'm ready for the spring," said Quattlebaum, of Clinton, Md., who was bundled up in a heavy coat, hat and boots. "There has been enough snow, and there is something about the spring that makes this campus special."
The Norfolk State University community dealt with another round of snow this week that forced the cancellation of classes and activities on campus. Quattlebaum and others dealt with slushy conditions that brought two to four inches of snow across sections of Hampton Roads on Monday, March 3.
But while the snowfall this season has nearly doubled the average snowfall in Hampton Roads, it is nowhere near the record, experts say.
Jon McGee, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Wakefield, said the record for snowfall in the region is 41.9 inches that fell during the 1979-1980 winter.
"The snowfall this year is above average, but it isn't the record," McGee said.
McGee said the average snowfall in Hampton Roads is around eight inches, but this winter around 15 and a half inches of snow has fallen since December. He said it is also likely the temperatures in the region will be a degree or two lower before season ends on March 20.
The good news is that warmer weather is on the way, and the probability of more snowfall is low, McGee said.
And that makes students like Brenae Tate happy. The junior social work major from Accomack County, on the Eastern Shore, said she is ready to see longer days and more outdoor activities on campus.
"I don't want any more snow," Tate said. "Hopefully this will be the last of it."

Nothing To Say Lyrics
Artist: kinks
Album: Arthur (Or The Decline And Fall Of The British Empire)
Remember walking with you by my side
You were my Papa and I was your pride
Now I've got children and I'm going grey
No time for talking I got nothin' to say
Those Sunday dinners that we had at home
Now I've got a house and I've got friends of my own
We can't do tomorrow what we did yesterday
It's best that we're going our separate ways, OK
How is your rheumatism (nothing to say)
How are your chillblains (nothing to say)
How's Aunty Mabel (nothing to say)
So far Papa, I got nothin' to say, OK
Those happy days we spent together
We thought our world would never change
How the days go by
And things will never be the same
You keep pretending that everything's fine
So you make small talk to help pass the time
But all the words that you spit from your face
Add up to nothin' you got nothin' to say
How are those noisy neighbors next door
I'll have to go soon 'cos I'm getting bored
I gotta be home early to see a good play
So far Papa, I got nothin' to say
How is your life insurance (nothing to say)
How is your trade union (nothing to say)
How is your Independence (nothing to say)
So for Papa, I got nothin' to say

Nearly three weeks ago, after losing to Minnesota 34-23, Nebraska was labeled by most of its fan base as dead in water. The Huskers had dropped their second game on the season and seemed to be somewhat digressing on defense.
But after what could be a season-saving game-winning Hail Mary catch to beat Northwestern and an excellent defensive performance against Michigan, Nebraska finds themselves in their most important game of the season today against Sparty – a game that likely will decide the Legends Division.
"It's character," said Nebraska assistant coach Rich Fisher. "They come out and do their job, listen to the coaches, practice hard, anytime you do those you are going to have a chance...Obviously you lose a game and the sky is falling, you have a bunch of doubters and people don't believe in you, it's kind of a week to week roller coaster situation and our kids don't buy into it."
Fisher's thoughts have merit. Last October, the Huskers were embarrassed 63-38 on the road against Ohio State. With a bye week following the performance, the next two weeks were rough in Lincoln. Nebraska was at the bottom of the roller coaster, but knew if they won out they would be heading to Indy. The 2013 Cornhuskers are in the same position – win out and head to the Big Ten title game, or play for bowl pecking order.
"If anything, they have the mentality they have something to prove," said Fisher. "They have played really well the last couple of weeks. Obviously the defense has been outstanding. It's fun to see the growth. Not only defensively, but all the effort we are getting across the board. This time of year, everyone's hurt and banged, you have to find a way."
It will be anything but easy. Playing with their back-up quarterback and missing at least two starters on their offensive line, the Huskers will have to find a way to get into the end zone against the nation's No. 3 scoring defense. The Spartans are only giving up 11.6 points per game and shutting down their opponents rushing attacks, allowing just 43.6 yards per contest.
"hey've just got a veteran group. A lot of these guys seem like the same group that played against us two years ago," said Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini. "They've been in the system for a long time, so they are pretty advanced. They understand their system and not only what people are trying to do to them. It allows you to do a little bit more the more veteran you are like that. I think that they've progressed. They continue to change and upgrade and keep getting better. They do a nice job."
Harvey's Keys to the Game for Nebraska:
* The Nebraska defense has been solid over the last six quarters of football and a big reason why might be because the Huskers look to be blitzing more. Nebraska has to put Connor Cook in long passing situations and keep changing up the blitz packages. He's not pressured very often. The MSU offensive line does a nice job, so if Nebraska can get to him, it's very possible the youngster might get a little rattled.
* On offense the front five, whatever the rotation, has to buy Armstrong time on third down. Running back Ameer Abdullah's going to be seeing some walls this afternoon, Sparty's run defense is just too good (No. 1 in the nation). Armstrong will need to throw, not only to keep the MSU defense honest, but to pickup some first downs. If Nebraska beats Michigan State, it's likely because Armstrong had his career performance to date.
* Jamal Turner's status for today is 50-50 according to Pelini. The wide receiver has missed the last two contests and much of the Minnesota game with a lower leg injury.
* Turner's replacement, Jordan Westerkamp, is also banged up and questionable according to Nebraska intern coach Brendan Stai. Stai reported the news at the Big Red Breakfast in Omaha. Westerkamp suffered a hip pointer against Michigan last weekend.
* Saddled with offensive line injuries, Nebraska could see the return of starting guard Jake Cotton today. Cotton sprained his MCL against Northwestern and was limited in practice this week after missing last week's Michigan game. His return would be more than welcomed. The Huskers lost opposite starting guard Mike Moudy to a shoulder injury this week in practice. He was filling for potential All-American candidate Spencer Long who tore his MCL earlier in the season.

Linseed oil is an amber-coloured, fatty oil extracted from the cotyledons and inner coats of the linseed found on the flax plant. Linseed oil has long been used as a drying oil in paints and varnish. It is also used in making putty, linoleum, oilcloth, and certain inks. Whilst its primary use is in industry, it is also used for specific edible purposes. Linseed oil is still considered as the primary drying oil for its performance against cost, with its high degree of unsaturated C18:3 fatty acid - linolenic acid (50%) and high Iodine value.
The primary sources of Flax or Linseed are Canada, Europe, USA and Argentina. Produced either by cold press or solvent extraction, the oil has some uses (eg paint and putty manufacture) in its crude state, but otherwise is the starting oil for many processes. Uses of Linseed Oil
Refined (degummed, neutralized and bleached) oil is employed in alkyd resin manufacture, printing varnishes and production of stand oils for specific paint applications as well as brake linings. Boiled linseed oil is used in the steel industry as an anti corrosion agent and as wood preservative.

VastActiv (146) Oulu/Helsinki, Finland | May 27, 2017
Visited in February 2017. Short walk from La Cumbre. I think this place is nowadays called just "Canteen Brewhouse". Strange local people inside. Very nice view to a brewery from bar. Their own beers were mediocre.
stevoj (338) Boise, Idaho | January 29, 2016
After getting a good recommendation from the staff at La Cumbre on this place, I had high expectations. Nice atmosphere, and yet another brewery located in an industrial area. Everything was nice about this place, but I found the beer a let down. I had higher hopes, but it was just average at best.
ChiGuy68 (48) Illinois | August 5, 2015
First stop on my New Mexico trip. Cool place. Laid back, large bar with patio seating, good food (a couple veggie options), and most importantly solid beer. Tough to beat a five dollar flight. The Wet Mountain IPA was my favorite, but their Stout was also excellent. When in Albuquerque stop by and give em a try.
Marheb (375) San Diego, California | February 12, 2015
Visite éclair, en sortant de La Cumbre, le temps de goûter quelques unes de leur bières maisons. Ambiance dynamique mais peu spectaculaire, un peu comme les bières même si j'ai vu quelques beaux flash. À suivre.

Seeing the ratings of their beers and of the Santa Fe location I wasn't expecting much but I have to say that I really enjoyed this place (minus the service that was slow as molasses). Sitting outside on the patio at the communal tables on a nice evening with some beers and snacks was fun. Also, while the beers aren't amazing they have some fun stuff to pick from. Against my better judgment I tried the bloody beer (their wheat beer with tomato juice and some salt on the rim). They also had a pumpkin saison, a pumpkin porter, a "mimosa" beer (wheat beer with blood oranges), and some regular beers like a rye pale ale and a double IPA.
As mentioned before the service was very slow. All I wanted was a flight and some artichoke dip, but there was a group of about 20 at the next table that had to be served first. Inside you can see the brewery through the windows behind the bar. Also, the bathrooms had some pretty funny beer posters in them. Prices were alright. Over all I wouldn't mind hanging out here with friends for an evening, and it's walking distance from La Cumbre.

Nice place with a great outdoor area. Good overall selection. Good service. Food sounded better than it was but was still decent. Beers were nice. Definitely a place to go in Albuquerque.

A really cool small place with a beautiful outdoor area for additional seating. Bartender was friendly and was knowledgeable about the Albuquerque beer scene and the beers on tap. They had twelve beers available on my visit. Samplers available. Had the beer pretzel that come along with some great chiptole mustard. Prices were competitive. Really enjoyed this stop.

Their IPA is the (first) best in town.
