More than nine million UK adults have never used the web, says the Office for National Statistics (ONS).
According to the research body, more than 38 million Brits are online and 30 million of those log-on every day.
However, despite efforts by the government and Martha Lane-Fox, who was appointed UK Digital Champion under the previous Labour government, the elderly, the widowed and people on lower incomes are among those that have yet to experience the delights of the web.
Less than a third of those that earn less than £10,399 per year said they had surfed the web compared with 98 percent of Brits that earn over £41,600. Furthermore, 97 percent of Brits with a degree had used the web compared with less than half (45 percent) of those without any formal qualifications.
The ONS also revealed a million 'silver surfers' or Brits over 60 have logged on in the past year, while 31 million web users have bought goods or services online in the same period.
"Since 2006 we have seen a significant increase in the number of people using the internet, with the number of adults accessing the Internet every day almost doubling to just over 30 million, though the UK is some way off from being completely online," said
"Usage is closely linked with a number of socio-economic and demographic indicators with those less educated and on lower incomes less likely to access the web."
However, Michelle Mitchell, charity director at Age UK, told The Guardian that older people could be missing out by not getting online.
"While many older people are embracing the benefits of getting online - such as keeping up with friends and family more easily and making savings online - many people in later life are still missing out," she said.
"It is essential that government, business and the third sector work together to provide older people with bespoke training and support to help them get online. Otherwise the digital divide will continue to deepen."
The way people access the web is also changing, with 31 percent admitting to using a mobile phone, while seven percent said they use Wi-Fi hotspots to get online when in restaurants, cafes and hotels.
Furthermore, 17 million adults watch TV and listen to the radio via the web.

In this modern world our environment is fighting for survival and we humans suffer from more and more physical and psychological stress, we cannot always control them but can learn how to face them and to this end Yoga is as good an invention it has ever been. The aim of yoga is attainment of physical, mental and spiritual health. The main credit of systematizing yoga goes to Patanjai who wrote the" yoga sutra" two thousand years ago. He has recommended 8 stages of yoga discipline.
Yoga has gained tremendous popularity in the last few years, it is the most rapidly growing health movement despite it was developed thousands of year's ago.Age, religion, caste; sex is no bar with breathing and meditation techniques. There are many types of yoga and it may be hard for the beginners which yoga type he or she wants to do. The most important benefit of yoga is the physical and mental therapy, the very essence of yoga lies in attaining mental peace, improved concentration power and a relaxed state of living.
Physical benefits:
There are many health benefits from yoga, studies have shown that yoga can relieve many common and life threatening illness such as arthritis, chronic fatigue,diabities,AIDS,asthma high blood pressure ,back pain ,weight reduction, obesity ,common cold , constipation ,epilepsy ,skin problems and respiration problems. Yoga also helps in rehabilitation of new and old injuries.
Regular yoga practice creates mental clarity and calmness, increase body awareness, relives stress patterns, relaxes the minds and sharpens concentration. Yoga provides tools through which one can cope which the pain and helps counter with the feeling of helplessness and depression. Yogic breathing and stretching exercises have been seen to result in better mental and physical energy and improved mood. The mental performance also increases with yoga and doctors suggest that yoga can enhance cognitive performance.
When you achieve that yogic sprit you can begin knowing yourself at peace. If one succeeds in achieving skills which provide health and self confidence, one can justly raise his self esteem simply by observing himself living the improved result as an achieved fact. Yogic therapy leads to increase self knowledge, this is not just the practical knowledge this includes knowledge pertaining to grasping something.

Henning students speak with astronaut from Vining
Henning students had the rare privilege of talking to a visitor from space Wednesday morning.
Karen Nyberg, a 1988 Henning School graduate and a flight engineer aboard the International Space Station, visited the Henning gym courtesy of NASA. Nyberg, who is originally from Vining, has been on the station since May 28.
Students from pre-kindergarten to senior classes and members of the Henning staff had a 20-minute window beginning at 9:45 a.m. to see their famous alumna. NASA-approved questions, submitted by students and staff, found their way to the space station via a downlink provided by NASA.
Henning Principal Thomas Williams saw a lot of enthusiasm for Nyberg's second trip into space in May, when the school held a launch party and watched the liftoff of the rocket that carried her into orbit on the NASA channel.
"The amount of pride within not only our school but the whole community is very great," Williams said.
Nyberg, also a University of North Dakota alumna, is scheduled to return to Earth in November.

Okay, so here is #awinestory for today.
Port is fabulous – there, I've said it.
Most Americans have not grown up with Port and as for myself, only discovered it under stressful, not-fun conditions, such as cramming for examinations for the Master of Wine, the WSET Diploma in earlier days, and other certifications where drinking Port was a studious activity and not quite the pleasure it should be.
Today Robert Bower of The Fladgate Partnership was kind enough to conduct a wonderful tasting through their various lines.
To be very honest, at first I was not looking forward to the tasting of the Croft Pink Porto … what is basically a "ruby port" with less maceration on the skins. Yet Robert is really a brilliant and very convincing individual, and after tasting it (straight, and also the preferred way of turning it into a cocktail with sparkling water and lemon) I see the need for this wine in the international marketplace.
Basically, this port introduces the new generation into Port … it is a very gentle introduction, and with about 98 grams of residual sugar, not as "sweet" as I feared (though when served with sparkling water and lemon one absolutely does not taste the sugar, it just tastes refreshing.
I was absolutely delighted by the Fonseca Bin No 27 Reserve Ruby Porto … this is what the Wine and Spirits Educational Trust (WSET) called "vintage character" Port and I just learned this term is no longer allowed. It has "vintage character" as it tasted very similar to the 2009 Vintage port, yet of course not the same finesse as the vintage character was over $80 and this Bin No 27 sells for about $20. Yet it was really delicious with concentrated fruit and a firm structure.
We tasted the 2009 Vintage Croft and the 2009 Taylor Fladgate Quinta de Vargellas Vinha Velha Vintage 2009 side by side … price at that level was fairly similar (85 – 100 dollars) and though the Taylor Fladgate had a longer reputation, I really enjoyed the Croft with its lifted elegant flavors.
Then of course came the 10 and 20 Tawny Ports … I loved the 10 year old with 106 grams of residual sugar and of course the 20 year old Tawny with 110 grams of residual sugar … both very balanced and elegant.

related lymphomas.
The Bothell, WA-based biotech company (NASDAQ: SGEN) said this morning that about half of patients who failed on previous treatments had their tumors shrink after taking its experimental SGN-35 drug. More than one-third (10 out of 27 patients) had their tumors completely disappear, according to research presented today at ASCO. This finding is from a study of patients who got SGN-35 infusions once a week in a variety of low doses to assess safety. Most side effects were mild in severity, researchers said.
The data are from the first of three phases of clinical trials, and the study had no control group, so it's impossible to say for sure how much better patients did on this drug than they might have done on some other treatment. But the findings do verify results from a previous study of 44 patients that looked at the drug when given once every three weeks. SGN-35 is attempting to carve out a niche in the emerging field of "empowered antibodies," which are designed to seek out cancer cells, spare healthy ones, and (here's the special part) unload an extra lethal dose of a toxin to kill the tumor cells.
—Calistoga Pharmaceuticals. The Seattle-based biotech company is working on blocking the prized PI3 kinase target, which is associated with tumor growth. Its drug candidate, CAL-101, is supposed to be different from the rest in the pack because it hits a specific variation of the PI3 kinase known as the delta isoform, which is thought to be associated with blood cancers like lymphomas and leukemias. The Calistoga drug showed an ability to shrink tumors in 6 of 12 patients studied in an initial clinical trial, including some responses at very low doses.
A good break went Calistoga's way before the ASCO conference when one of its competitors, South San Francisco-based Exelixis, scored a big partnership with Sanofi-Aventis, potentially worth more than $1 billion, to co-develop its PI3 kinase blocker. Calistoga's chief business officer, Cliff Stocks, said before the meeting that the deal verified the valuation it was placing on its technology, and will certainly provide fodder for a lot of partnership talks, Stocks says.
—ZymoGenetics (NASDAQ: ZGEN) had some positive news from a trial of IL-21, a kidney cancer drug it is looking to unload as it gets out of the cancer research business. The drug, when given in combination with Bayer and Onyx Pharmaceuticals' sorafenib (Nexavar), was able to shrink tumors in 21 percent of patients, and keep them from spreading a median time of 5.7 months. This finding was from a small trial of 33 patients, and there was no control group to provide a frame of reference, but the patients were generally quite sick, having failed to respond to at least one or two prior rounds of therapy.
—Oncothyreon. The Seattle-based cancer drug developer (NASDAQ: ONTY) released some preliminary data from its cancer immunotherapy and cancer drug programs.
The company's immunotherapy, Stimuvax, was found to be well-tolerated by patients over long-term usage, according to data presented by Charles Butts of the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, Canada. A mid-stage trial of patients with lung cancer found that 10 patients have been treated with Stimuvax now for more than five years, and eight continue to get it. There is no evidence that the immune-stimulator is causing the immune system to go overboard and start attacking healthy tissue, a condition otherwise known as autoimmune disease, the company said.
Other preliminary results were reported on Oncothyreon's drug for blocking the PI3 kinase. This drug candidate, PX-866, was taken as a once-daily pill by 26 patients at a variety of doses to get a read on its safety. Of 24 patients evaluated, six patients whose disease had spread previously had their tumors stabilize, the company said. This is a competitive field of research, and Oncothyreon says its drug is different because it is an irreversible blocker of the protein, meaning it binds with it and won't let go as long as the drug is active in the bloodstream.

Nine percent. That's how much BP shares gave up today. Almost 10, if you really want to know. This is a big week for the oil company. We're expecting to learn what BP's decided to do about its dividend. A matter of no small interest to those shareholders who've seen almost 60 percent of their investments disappear. CEO Tony Hayward is going to be the special guest of a congressional committee later this week. He will also meet with President Obama at the White House before the president's speech. It's no secret what the president will say. He wants the leak stopped, and he wants victims of the oil leak -- not BP shareholders -- to get paid first. In fact, he wants to make sure those victims get paid. Period.
By Rob Schmitz
BP CEO Tony Hayward says his company will pay all legitimate claims for the Gulf spill. But will he do it? That's what Louisiana Treasurer John Kennedy wants to know.
"Show me the money," Kennedy said. "I want to see it. I want to know that the money will be there. I'm glad BP is the fourth largest company in the world, I'm glad they have $81 billion in assets, I appreciate their commitment to pay us in full. Show me the money. Put it into escrow."
Last week, Louisiana and Florida demanded BP set aside $7.5 billion into an escrow account to pay for the mounting damage to their economies. Now the Obama administration wants to take over, demanding BP finances a fund managed by a third party to pay victims of the spill. The president could ask for direct government control of the fund, but energy industry analyst Kevin Book says that wouldn't look good to our British friends, many of whom are BP shareholders.
"One country's solution is another country's problem right now, and the last thing you want is the perception that the U.S. federal government has reached into the coffers of a British company," Book said.
A British company, says Book, that also contributes jobs and capital to the U.S. economy. The amount BP pays, says Book, has to be big enough to reassure American voters, but modest enough to ensure BP doesn't go bankrupt in the process. Last week, a group of Democratic senators asked for a $20 billion fund -- that's around twice the amount of cash BP currently has on hand.
I'm Rob Schmitz for Marketplace.

Real Salt Lake fires Jeff Cassar, Daryl Shore to serve as interim head coach
DraperUteFan Draper, UTMarch 21, 2017 10:55 a.m.
The talent pool is in place to be competitive and the fan base have remained loyal in spite of the drop in play the last 10 games.
Jeff was a good guy and tried all he could, but tactically RSL never made the 4-3-3 system work. Yura is not a good fit for the 4-3-3 and neither is Plata. They need two Forwards and only one defensive midfielder (Beckerman or Sunny).
Change the tactics and this team can string together some wins. They proved the first half the other night they can be good, then Cassar went into retreat mode when we went down a player and we chased the game the entire second half.
RSL used to be a possession-oriented team who created chances through precision passing. Now, they just dump the ball downfield and hope Yura can create something out of nothing. That will never work. Yura is good in the box, but not dribbling or passing. Need Rusnak or Mulholland creating chances for speedy Plata or taller Yura.
ekute Layton, UTMarch 20, 2017 7:05 p.m.
RSL and it's fans deserve better ownership and management. The exodus of players started at the end of last season. I can only imagine the frustration in Nick, Kyle and Javi...and even some in some of the rising stars.
byu_realistic Salt Lake City, UTMarch 20, 2017 5:11 p.m.
Jeff Cassar is a class act that couldn't produce results. Dave Rose should be next. Different sport on a different level; but, a very similar situation.

LAHORE, Pakistan - A Pakistani woman who won international fame but irked the government for speaking out about her gang rape left for the United States on Saturday to receive an award for her courage.
Mukhtar Mai, 36, has been declared Woman of the Year 2005 by Glamour, a U.S. women's magazine. She's due to receive the award with a $20,000 cash prize Nov. 2 in New York.
Past winners include U.S. Sen. Hillary Clinton and former U.S. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
Mai braved social stigma by going public over her June 2002 assault, which was ordered by a village council in retaliation for her brother's alleged affair with a woman from a higher-caste family.
Her case attracted international attention, and using donations from well-wishers, she has since set up a school for girls in her rural community.
The legal case against her alleged attackers still is being heard in Pakistan's Supreme Court.
China's president to visit North Korea
BEIJING - President Hu Jintao will visit North Korea next week amid U.S. pressure for Beijing to do more to convince its communist ally to stop developing nuclear weapons, China said Friday.
Hu's visit to North Korea on Oct. 28 would be the first by a top Chinese leader since 2001.
It comes as China is trying to organize a new round of six-nation talks in November on the North Korea nuclear issue - talks that include the United States, South Korea, Japan and Russia.
Talks held last month in Beijing ended with a promise by Pyongyang to give up its nuclear programs in exchange for aid and a security guarantee.
But the North also has demanded a nuclear reactor for power generation before it dismantles its atomic projects.
"The nuclear issue will inevitably be on Hu's agenda," said Gong Keyu, a North Korea specialist at the Shanghai Institute of Foreign Studies.
China is North Korea's last major ally and key supplier of food and energy aid, giving it what other governments consider to be unique leverage.
Police guard churches in Egypt after riots
ALEXANDRIA, Egypt - Thousands of police manned barricades around Christian churches in Egypt's second largest city Saturday, a day after Muslim rioters attacked churches and shops, leaving four people dead in the country's worst religious violence in five years.
Egypt's top Muslim and Christian leaders appealed for calm as tensions simmered in Alexandria, where some 5,000 Muslim rioters rampaged through two predominantly Christian neighborhoods.
Clashes with rubber bullet-firing police killed two rioters and two policemen, police and hospital officials said Saturday. At least 90 people were injured.
Friday's violence was the bloodiest since January 2000, when an argument between a Coptic shopkeeper and a Muslim customer swelled into gunfights and other street battles that killed 23 people, mostly Christians, in el-Kusheh, a town south of Cairo.
Explosion rocks home in Austria, officials say
SALZBURG, Austria - An explosion reportedly caused by a gas canister in a home rocked a street in downtown Salzburg on Saturday, and authorities said several people were injured, at least one seriously.
The explosion occurred at about 3:30 p.m. in a home on the Bachstrasse, a residential street, and Austrian media reported that it involved a bottle of liquefied natural gas.
A dispatcher who answered the phone at Salzburg's main fire department said paramedics at the scene had taken one person to the hospital with critical injuries and were treating others.
Salzburg, the birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, draws hundreds of thousands of tourists each year and is preparing to host a year of special events in 2006 to mark the 250th anniversary of the composer's birth.

Chris Brown Compares Himself to Jesus After Frank Ocean Brawl (PHOTO)
Chris Brown's brawl with Frank Ocean likely triggered a roller-coaster of emotions on Sunday and bizarrely, the singer has compared himself to Jesus nailed to a cross in a recent Instagram post.
Brown, 23, is reportedly wanted for questioning by police following a violent dispute that broke out between his and Ocean's respective entourages. Ocean claims that he was "jumped" by the singer, but Brown's attorney insists that his client is innocent, according to TMZ.com.
Until Monday, Brown had said nothing about the unfortunate incident. On Instagram, he described a photo of Jesus nailed to a cross as being in line with "the way I feel today."
"Painting the way I feel today. Focus on what matters!" Brown's photo caption read.
Brown's dispute with Ocean comes four years after his infamous assault against singer Rihanna and less than one year after his run-in with Drake, which left dozens injured.
Since 2009, the singer has faced a series of legal woes, prompting some critics to assume his guilt in the incident involving Ocean. His attorney Mark Geragos maintains that his client is innocent.
Brown has received overwhelming support from fans including his on-and-off girlfriend Karrueche Tran, who had a message for his critics shortly after the brawl.
"don't be so quick to assume," Tran tweeted Jan. 28.
Pop idol Justin Bieber also defended Brown when asked about who he wants to see win at The 55th annual Grammy Awards which airs live Feb. 10. The singer advised critics to focus on Brown's talents as opposed to his mistakes.
"Chris Brown. I'm a fan. His music is really good. That's what they should focus on: his music," Bieber told Billboard magazine.

About 90% of the ammo has this dark coating over the tips, and labeled MOLY. Ive shot several hundred rounds of this moly coated ammo in different calibers and never had a fail even though its 10+ year old ammo. I was just wondering what this coating is for? I assume its some kind of moisture protection. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Bret Easton Ellis has come up with "a horror-tinged soap opera" for Showtime.
In "The Canyons," a group of twenty- and thirtysomethings in Los Angeles are confronted with violence and manifestations of their own anxieties that may or may not be real, but the author of "American Psycho" and "Lunar Park" says he's not venturing into David Lynch territory. "There are no midgets walking backward," he told the Hollywood Reporter. "We want something much more naturalistic -- a very realistic soap."

Conservative media colleagues Tucker Carlson, Matt Drudge, Chris Ruddy, Glenn Beck remember Breitbart as a leader and a lightning rod
The conservative media lost one of its most prominent and influential torchbearers when Andrew Breitbart, the pugnacious and polarizing figure credited with helping to usher right-wing journalism into the digital age, died suddenly in Los Angeles this morning at the age of 43.
"In the first decade of the DRUDGEREPORT Andrew Breitbart was a constant source of energy, passion and commitment," wrote Matt Drudge in a statement posted on his website, where Breitbart cut his teeth as an editor.
Story Continued Below
"We shared a love of headlines, a love of the news, an excitement about what's happening. I don't think there was a single day during that time when we did not flash each other or laugh with each other, or challenge each other."
Breitbart was a stranger to Drudge when, impressed with what he was doing, he approached the right-wing Washington agitator-aggregator about helping him with his then-nascent project.
"I still see him in my mind's eye in Venice Beach, the sunny day I met him," Drudge wrote. "He was in his mid 20's. It was all there. He had a wonderful, loving family and we all feel great sadness for them today."
"He stirred things up," Ken Chandler, the Manhattan-based editor of Newsmax magazine, a conservative monthly glossy, told Capital. "It's a significant loss."
Chandler's colleague, Newsmax Media C.E.O. Chris Ruddy, said that he'd increasingly begun to view Breitbart, with whom he'd had a friendly rapport, as more of an activist than a journalist. But Ruddy said Breitbart's lasting influence could be seen both in The Drudge Report and, on the other side of the ideological aisle, The Huffington Post, which Breitbart had a hand in launching.
"Across digital media, he was a person that had a role to play," said Ruddy.
Michelle Malkin, The New York Post columnist, wrote on her website that Breitbart was "a mentor to the next generation of right-wing activists and citizen journalists. ... He will be greatly missed, but his legacy online and in the conservative movement is built to last."
In an interview on Fox News this morning, Tucker Carlson, a friend and fellow conservative web publisher who said he'd spoken to Breitbart just last night, described him as "completely fearless. He thrived on the brawling."
Carlson said Breitbart was supportive a year-and-a-half ago when Carlson launched The Daily Caller, ostensibly a competitor to Breitbart's stable of websites, including Big Journalism, Big Hollywood and Big Government.
"He was so completely and utterly entertaining and truly, I would say, one of the more generous people I've ever known, and helped us a lot [when] we started a business not unlike his," he said. "He didn't feel competitive, He was just nice to us from day one and helpful to us from day one, and just a great friend."
On CNN, network contributor Dana Loesch, who is also the editor of Big Journalism, had this to offer: "It's a very sad loss today. He stood for truth."
Glenn Beck, speaking on his radio show this morning, seemed to agree with that assessment. Saying he was "stunned" by the news, Beck also dismissed a "feud" he was once said to have had with Breitbart.
"We pray for his family, we pray for his children, and we pray that his mission to expose those who need to be exposed continues," said Beck, who also owns a conservative news website, The Blaze.
Of Breitbart's sites, Beck said: "They've broken a lot of stories. A lot of stories. We need more voices not fewer voices."
According to the Associated Press: "Breitbart was walking near his house in the Brentwood neighborhood shortly after midnight Thursday when he collapsed, said his father-in-law, Orson Bean. Someone saw him fall and called paramedics, who tried to revive him. They rushed him to the emergency room at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center in Los Angeles, Bean said."

Buick Bumps Base Price of '13 Regal by $2,000 to Make eAssist Standard
Brandon Hill

Sender E-mail
eAssist become standard equipment, 220hp turbo model available as a no-cost option
When it comes to extracting the most miles per gallon out of a vehicle,
GM often turns to its eAssist solution for midsize sedans
. While competing companies like Ford/Lincoln and Toyota/Lexus use full hybrid solutions to achieve lofty mpg ratings, GM's "mild hybrid" eAssist solution often lags well behind, especially in city mpg ratings.
In an effort to boost fuel efficiency of its models,
GM announced earlier this year
that it would make eAssist standard on the 2013 Buick Regal. This is a move the company already made with the
2012 Buick Lacrosse
Now GM has revealed that the addition of eAssist as standard equipment means that the base price for the 2013 Regal jumps from $27,055 to $29,015. The base 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine in the 2012 model, which was good for 19/31 (city/highway), gives way to a standard eAssist model that is rated at 25/36 (city/highway).
For those that simply don't want a Regal with eAssist, Buick offers a 220hp turbocharged 2.0-liter model as a no-cost option. And for those that crave even more power, the 270hp Regal GS is also available.
"With eAssist, Buick is redefining what a 'conventional powertrain' means to customers," said eAssist global chief engineer Stephen Poulos. "It changes the fuel economy – but not the experience – for the 97 percent of new car buyers who aren't buying hybrids."
"It takes advantage of the best parts of a hybrid, and eAssist is now standard equipment for Regal," Poulos added. "These new functions happen seamlessly, a requirement for Buick drivers who demand a refined driving experience. They'll really only notice a difference at the pump."
Manufacturers like Nissan have managed to employed advanced technology and continuously variable transmissions (CVTs) to help the
2013 Altima
achieve 27/38 (city/highway) without the use of expensive batteries or electric motors. On the other side of the spectrum, the
2013 Lexus ES 300h
is rated at 40/39 (city/highway).

Ive been slowly building up my hardtail, and holding off with purchasing a fork cause i keep changing my mind. looking for something in the 130-160 range. realistically i think 160 might be too much, i keep hearing that 160 on a hardtail makes the handling start to go to crap.
So ive been seriously considering a revelation lately. i think 150 would be just right for DH, and lowering it to 130 would be great for climbs and DJ.
But! what i really want is to get the new x fusion slant fork, it seems pretty damn ideal for what im looking for. but it wont be coming out for some time.
so my next option is to get something a little cheaper, and experiment a little until i can get the slant. so i was thinking of going with a lyrik or a vengeance at 170mm travel just to try it out. but thats too expensive for experimenting.
the argyle actually seems like a quality fork that would work well and i might just want to keep. plus i could use it on future bikes. and i really like the idea of having a simple, solid, fixed position fork.
i ride a lot of AM, will be doing some resort DH,(nothing too gnarly, i have a full sus for that) some DJ. really a little bit of everything.

The Tuolumne County Board of Supervisors race without an incumbent continues to be the local race drawing the most donations.
According to the most recent round of campaign finance disclosure forms, District 5 candidates Karl Rodefer and Domenic Torchia have raised more cash than candidates in other local races since July 1.
Rodefer and Torchia are running for the seat now held by Supervisor Dick Pland, who is not running for re-election.
Financial forms filed with the county Elections Office show that Rodefer raised $6,872 in monetary contributions during the reporting period, which lasts through Sept. 30. Rodefer also paid out $2,000 for loans during the period, bringing overall contributions down to $4,872 for the period and putting his total year-to-date contributions to $36,601.
Rodefer has spent $1,289 since July 1, and $36,601 overall, according to financial forms.
Rodefer's largest donations so far include $3,300 total from Jonathan Clark, owner of Armstrong, Clark and Co.; $400 from the county's RepublicanCentral Committee; $393 from retiree Donald Wilson; $310 from Sonora Subaru owner Ridge Schneider; $350 from retiree Roy Lane; $299 each from Carey Haughy and Pedro Lizaur, both of Blue Mountain Quarries; and $299 from $250 from the Tuolumne County Building Industry Association. He also has loaned a total of $9,000 to himself for the campaign to date, according to the finance paperwork.
Torchia raised $4,784 over the same period, bringing his total monetary and nonmonetary contributions for the year to $16,336. During the most recent reporting period, he spent $1,940 and has spent $8,980 overall.

John Burton ($450), retired San Francisco District Attorney Arlo Smith ($375), Fremont Assemblyman Bob Wieckowski ($300) and educator Lynn Martin ($300).
Meanwhile, in District 1, challenger Sherri Brennan continues to out-raise incumbent Supervisor Liz Bass. But Bass also has picked up fundraising since July 1, as she has raised the most between the two in the most recent reporting period.
Bass has raised $3,543 in monetary contributions and $2,719 in loans to herself in the latest period, bringing her total contributions to $10,930, according to financial forms. She has spent a total of $10,581 on her campaign so far, including $6,415 in the latest reporting period.

Jingle Palette Review
This is a free software for the PC that allows you to assign sounds to any number of buttons. You can set the volume level for each file. There is no "fade out" option. I faded out items in this podcast as I was sending the sounds into my mixer. At one point, the software had a bit of a crash, and it didnt' save the palette I was using. I was not a huge fan, but you can't beat the price.
Cleaning Up Noisy Audio Files
In this segment I play a voicemail that came in that had a fair amount of hiss. I use the noise removal feature in Adobe Audition (and is also available in Audacity). You have the software "listen" to your noise, and then have it remove it. If you apple too much of this feature, it can make the sound have a weird "under water" effect. A little goes a long way. I then took this file and applied a noise gate which blocked any left over hiss from coming to your ears.
Podcasting is for Everyone
In this episode we get feedback from a 6th grader, and someone who has retired early (in his 60's) who are both enjoying the creativity and power of podcasting. Are you looking for Podcasting 101 tips? Check out free podcasting tips at School of Podcasting Radio at schoolofpodcasting.fm

About 700 internet professionals from 30 countries attended the DOMAINfest Global Conference fundraiser, held at the mansion on February 3, and 170 fell ill. The palatial home of Hugh Hefner, in one of the most affluent neighbourhoods in the US, is best-known for the sex parties that he hosted in his younger days with groups of Playmates.
The 85-year-old is co-operating with the Los Angeles Department of Public Health as it seeks to establish the source of the suspected outbreak of legionellosis, a mild form of legionnaire's disease.

What happens when cold Vulcan logic squares off against unbridled mutant fury? Who would win in a battle between the X-Men's Wolverine and Star Trek's Mister Spock? If you're sane, it has probably never occurred to you to ask. Regardless, Marvel/Paramount's 1996 Star Trek/X-Men provided us with an answer with a brief confrontation between these two unlikeliest of combatants. Without further ado,
Okay, so OF COURSE Marvel pussed out and called the battle a draw. Haven't read many crossover comics, have you, chum? In true team-up tradition, both sides get their licks in before declaring a truce and agreeing to work together. The main assault in this scene is on our senses, as this ...most illogical combination of characters is forced to ever so briefly share a space in a work of fiction! This ain't all I have to say about Star Trek/X-Men either, pals. Fan fiction has nothing on some of the stuff Marvel has actually published!

overviewYou've mastered reef lighting, perfected your water quality, now realize the amazing potential of adding a diverse live plankton community to your ecosystem! Copepods are a major component of marine zooplankton, and play a significant role in the oceanic food chain. Establishing active zooplankton populations in the home aquarium is the final key to ultimate aquarium success, and now it's easier than ever.
We're pleased to offer six new zooplankton starter cultures for use in marine aquariums and ornamental fish breeding. Experiment with different combinations of pods for different types of feeders. Mandarins and Seahorses, Anthias and Gobies, NPS Corals and Gorgonians, Acropora, Crinoids, Basket Stars, and more.
Copepod cultures can be introduced and maintained in aquariums several ways. Harpacticoids can be added to a sump or refugium preferably with a suitable substrate such as rock, sand or algae. It is suggested that the protein skimmer be turned off when adding the culture. Calanoids can be added to the main tank, most effectively at night when they won't be quickly predated by fish. Populations can be periodically enhanced by adding more culture as needed, typically about once a month. ReefPods can live together so multiple species may be added at the same time. Pod populations can be fed in culture or in tanks with PhycoPure Copepod Blend, a specially prepared microalgae feed. All of the AlgaGen ReefPods are herbivorous species of copepods that prefer the tropical temperatures of reef tanks.
Copepods can also be grown outside of the aquarium system in a culture vessel and then harvested to feed the aquarium. Pod culture can be tricky, some are easier than others, but with some simple equipment and a little dedication pod cultures are achievable.
Copepods are maintained at 78°F and at S.G. 1.020 with low light and very low aeration. We strongly recommend acclimating your copepods into your culture vessel or tank.
Adult size: Acartia 1.0 - 1.2 mm, Moina salina 2.5 mm, Parvocalanus 0.8 - 0.9 mm, Pseudodiaptomus 1.2 - 1.5 mm, Tangerine 2.5 mm, Tisbe 0.7 - 1 mm.
ReefPods are guaranteed to arrive alive but are exempt from our extended guarantee after their arrival. 8 oz bottles contain 100 to 200 pods and 16 oz bottles contain 200 to 300 pods.

SLIPKNOT have issued a statement in response to the recent attempts by the European media to link them to the German school massacre carried out by alleged Satanist Robert Steinhaeuser, who shot dead 13 of his teachers, two teenagers and a policeman at his old school in Erfurt in Germany last month. The statement reads as follows:"First off, our deepest sympathies to the victims and their families who have suffered this senseless act of violence. Second, it is ludicrous to place the blame on our band or any other form of music. SLIPKNOT does not have a song called 'School Wars', we have never written a song called 'School Wars', and we certainly would never encourage people to kill others. We are a blanket of hope for our kids, not a scapegoat for attacks like this, and while we send our most sincere condolences to those affected by this, we will not take responsibility. "Once again, we send our prayers to the families of the victims. Thank you."
SLIPKNOT: "We Will Not Take Responsibility" For German School Massacre

The people, the places, our guide and driver Yannick and Pino - EVERYTHING was incredible. I thought going in winter would have been hard and I had heard so much about contiki that made me unsure but i recommended this tour to everyone who is hesitant - GO FOR IT! I love how organised it all is with transport and breakfasts and optional tours, yet there was still so much ME time where we had a choice in what to do, which really made it my own special trip! I made friends for life, saw sights I cant believe like Gaudi Buildings in Barcelona, The colosseum in Rome and the beautiful Cinque Terre and ate SO much good food! I found it to be the perfect amount of time to spend because it was enough to make friends and do the places without being rushed
GO for it!

Slate: Lee Hamilton '52 on Kerry's "Long Shortlist"
May 31, 2004
May 31, 2004, Greencastle, Ind. - In selecting a running mate, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry "could go for a policy-wonk father figure who understands today's global dangers as Bush did in choosing Cheney last time," writes Michael Crowley in Slate. Among the potential candidates Crowley lists is "former Indiana Rep. Lee Hamilton, now the nobly nonpartisan vice chairman of the independent September 11 commission." Hamilton is a 1952 graduate of DePauw University. Read the complete article, "John Kerry's Long Shortlist," by clicking here.
Conjecture about Lee Hamilton being tapped by John Kerry was included in an article last month by Albert Eisele in The Hill. In the newspaper, which bills itself as being "for and about the U.S. Congress," Eisele opined that Hamilton "is admittedly a bit long in the tooth at 73, but his 12 terms in the House and his experience as chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, on the select committee investigating the Iran-contra scandal and now as vice-chairman of the September 11 commission, give him gold-plated credentials on foreign policy and national security issues." Read more by clicking here.
Lee Hamilton, who served for thirty-four years as a United States Congressman from Indiana, serving as chairman and ranking member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, is now director of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.
He appeared on Larry King Live April 13 to discuss the 9/11 commission's work. Access video clips here.Back

Casa Hogar
Oaxaca, Mexico
Francisco and Carol de Marin administrate Casa Hogar, a home for disadvantaged and handicapped children in Oaxaca, Mexico. Working to break the cycle of poverty, Casa Hogar is a place where these children can receive medical care and an education that they would have no hope of obtaining otherwise. Most importantly, this "home that is a home" is a place where these children learn about the love that God has for them. The River Church is a monthly financial supporter of Casa Hogar.
Tel Aviv, Israel
Dugit is an evangelistic outreach center located in the heart of Tel Aviv. The word 'Dugit' means little fishing boat, like the ones used by the disciples on the Sea of Galilee. Today, we are 'fishers of men' in the heart of Tel Aviv! Dugit functions as a coffee house outreach center, where Israelis can drop in for a chat over a free cup of coffee. It is a safe, friendly environment where they can hear about Yeshua the Messiah. Dugit is also a base for street outreach and a resource for evangelistic materials. Dugit opened as an outreach centre in 1993 and hundreds of Israelis have been exposed to the Gospel through this vital ministry. Dugit is an outreach of the Adonai Roi Congregation.
Prepare Ministries
Founded by Gary Gilbertson, Prepare Ministry is a college campus ministry that reaches out to people from many different beliefs and faith backgrounds with discussions about truth, morality, and God in hopes to win young people to Christ. The River Church supports Prepare Ministries in order to affect the brightest in young minds of our area for Christ.

Anti-'Bailout' Campaign Expands to Another Show
The industry's campaign to keep a lid on "bailout" headlines relating to the corporates expanded to new ground this week.
First, CUNA finally managed to air a previously scheduled interview by CEO Bill Cheney for a slot on a popular business cable show as he offered a safety/soundness message.
And a FoolProof financial literacy packet called "Burning Money" began attracting wide interest among teachers after it received a large AOL audience stemming from a syndicated Chicago Tribune column.
In the Cheney interview appearing on CNBC's "Squawk Box" with guest host Steve Forbes, the CUNA CEO again emphasized that "taxpayers will not lose a dime" from the NCUA restructuring since CUs will absorb the costs.
Asked whether a "worst case" scenario could trigger government guarantees behind the securities under the legacy assets plan, Cheney said even if the costs reached the high-end estimates of $15 billion, CUs have the capacity to pay that off through the year 2021. "We know the costs are sustainable, we've run the models and the taxpayer won't be impacted," Cheney explained.
Asked by Forbes if CUs were affected by the failure of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac preferred securities and trust preferred, as smaller community banks were, Cheney noted that CUs don't issue trust preferred securities and most CUs did not invest in Fannie and Freddie preferred securities.
FoolProof distributed free educational videos to CUs after the Sept. 24 NCUA action and followed up with a "Burning Money" instruction series. One Wisconsin CEO praised that effort as worthwhile in helping the public understand the CU business.
"We're glad to see FoolProof keeping the focus on credit unions' commitment to consumer advocacy when so much of the discussion in the press around the country right now is about the corporate takeovers," said Eugene Szymczak, president/CEO of the $1.2 billion Educators CU of Racine, Wis.
FoolProof, based in Melbourne, Fla., said in little more than two weeks 1000 high schools in 20 states have signed up for its "Burning Money" instruction aimed at teaching financial literacy. The show was aired on social networks earlier this month.

About 2 years ago I moved my sewing room from one room to another. In the move I came across an envelope full of pattern pieces and on the front of the envelope, in my handwriting, is simply written, "Snowman Pattern Pieces".
I didn't think anything of it. I don't like to use original pattern pieces, so I just photo copy or trace copies of the originals to use. Then I stick the usable pieces in an envelope, mark them and stick them in the original pattern's envelope or paperclip them to the pattern's page in the magazine. I figured that I would come across the pattern one of these days.
The trouble is, I still haven't found the pattern that this envelope goes to, but I know the moment I throw the pieces out, I'll find the pattern. Am I the only one this flighty?

Parsimonious Estimation of the Covariance Matrix in Multinomial Probit Models
This article presents a Bayesian analysis of a multinomial probit model by building on previous work that specified priors on identified parameters. The main contribution of our article is to propose a prior on the covariance matrix of the latent utilities that permits elements of the inverse of the covariance matrix to be identically zero. This allows a parsimonious representation of the covariance matrix when such parsimony exists. The methodology is applied to both simulated and real data, and its ability to obtain more efficient estimators of the covariance matrix and regression coefficients is assessed using simulated data.

The time has passed for reconsideration of where to place Del Norte County's future transfer station.
That was the message delivered by the Del Norte Solid Waste Management Authority yesterday when it voted 4-to-1 to approve the purchase of property on Elk Valley Road for the facility.
Commissioner Herb Kolodner, who provided the only no vote, moved that the decision be put off until the next meeting, so options delivered by staff could be analyzed by the board. Kolodner's motion died with a 3-to-2 vote against it, with Kolodner and Chairman Jack Reese voting yes.
During a public hearing on the purchase, which will cost the Authority $492,000 for 13.3 acres, the opinions expressed were more concerned about the location than about the price.
andquot;This is not about the site selection process or the environmental impact report of the subdivision of the property. These decisions have already been made,andquot; announced Director Kevin Hendrick before the public session began.
Hendrick sought to put the project cost into perspective in relation to the cost of the property.
andquot;Although $492,000 is undeniably a large sum of money, it is fair and reasonable to put this in the context of other large public infrastructure project costs,andquot; Hendrick said. andquot;The city water line came in under budget at nearly $8 million. The estimated cost of the new sewage treatment plant is $30 million. Yet these are essential public services that are important to support growth and economic development in our community.andquot;
A letter submitted by Del Norte County Supervisor David Finigan suggested the board consider another piece of property for the facility.
andquot;I would urge you not to accept the proposed location because of its unique capability for future economic development,andquot; Finigan wrote. andquot;The site you are considering is one of the few, if not only, vacant commercial-industrial-manufacturing zoned parcels in the county that has the capability to be served by city sewer and city water.andquot;
Finigan suggested a parcel behind the fairgrounds as a better location. However, the board was only considering the purchase of the Elk Valley property yesterday.
One concern expressed about increased traffic on Elk Valley Road was answered by Dwayne Reichlin of Hambro Waste Solutions Group, the company contracted to operate the transfer station.
andquot;The trucks are already there. You will be seeing no more than you are seeing now,andquot; said Reichlin. An affiliated company, Hambro Forest Products, is already running trucks between Del Norte County and Oregon on Highway 199. Reichlin said these existing trucks will be hauling more on their designated runs.
The Elk Valley property is currently owned by Malihe Hooshnam. A previous Hooshnam property was rejected after a concern was raised about contamination.
Other locations included the current landfill and a property adjacent to Hambro. These were rejected because of their proximity to protected wetlands.

Now that I've got some basic idea of hand drawn flash animation I'm undertaking a project that I've been wanting to do for some time now. I'm planing, with the permission of Lemon Demon, to animate a music video to the song "Spring Heeled Jack" off of Lemon Demon's View-Monster album. I'm in the pre-production stage right now, getting reference pictures for the backgrounds and working on storyboards. I even have Jack's character design almost figure out too, wish me luck.

" Brand: Bayer / Type: "
I have suffered with cold sores since i was a teenager and i always bought zovirax which i found to give me a stinging sensation for quite a while after applying the cream also it seemed to dry my lips out and then they would crack which was also quite painful. whilst at my local chemist (buying more cold sore cream!!) i noticed a little purple box with soothelip written on it. i was quite sceptical at first as zovirax was the only brand i had heard of but thought there would be no harm in giving "soothelip" a go.
it is cheaper than zovirax and in my opinion alt better. if you put it on when you first feel the cold sore it will attack it straight away and the coldsore will be gone in half the time and the whole process will be a lot less painful. even if the cold sore is in full bloom you can still feel the cream working into it. the cream dries the cold sore out but does not crack your lips or sting so all in all i would definatly reccommend this product. it is definatly worth it.
Soothelip is the best coldsore cream I've found. Forget about Zovirax. This won't dry your lips out and it's way more effective. If you have an important day/night ahead and you don't wont any surprises during the night just apply a thin layer of soothelip on your lips before going to bed and you're sure you'll be alright. Try it you won't be disappointed
Whilst on a recent holiday, I noticed a circle of round blisters, and having had it confirmed as a cold sore (something I had never had before), the first stop on arriving in the UK the next day was to purchase something to get rid of it. The only ointment I had heard of was Zovirax (I think thats how its spelt), and this is what I duly requested from the pharmacist; this was going to be at a cost of just under £7. The pharmacist pointed me in the direction of this soothelip and assured me that it contained the same ingredients, was equally effective, and at a cost of £3.19, was certainly the better option.
Packaging and Cream
The cream comes in a small 2g tube, which unfortunately is easy to lose if your bag is anything like mine.
The actual cream is a sort of creamy off white and has no discernible smell.
How to use it
It advises that the cream is applied 5 times a day and the cream in the tube is sufficient to treat one cold sore attack. The instructions suggest that the cream is used as soon as you feel the tingling sensation which is apparently the first sign of a cold sore.
To apply the cream, wash your hands and apply the cream to the infected area. Do this for 5 days and the cold sore should be gone.
As with most medicines, there are certain warnings, and this is no exception. The main ingredient, aciclovir, must be fairly potent stuff because the first paragraph of the instructions actually warns that it is present in the cream.
You must tell your doctor if you are going to use this cream if you are pregnant, allergic to any of the ingredients, have an immune system which is not working properly or taking the medicine probenecid ( I have no idea what this is).
I suppose if you have never used it before, you wouldnt know if you were allergic to any of the ingredients, and would have to take your chances as I did.
Price and Availability
I bought mine from the local chemist, so I would assume that it is widely available. I did look on the internet and it was being sold but actually more expensive than what I paid.
Patheon UK Ltd.,
What I thought
Having never had a cold sore before, I was unaware of the timgling or itching which heralds the onset of a cold sore, so I started using the cream when the cold sore was well established.
After a day of useage, it had really dried up, was not weeping anymore (sounds lovely) and was well on its way to being fully healed.
By the end of day two, the cold sore looked like a small scab left by a spot, and by day 4 of application, had well and truly gone.
The instructions are very clear and as well as informing you as to how to use the cream, gave information on what cold sores are, and some advise as to what to do kissing was a definite no no!
The cream itself was easy to apply and was absorbed quickly by the skin, so there was no white or chalky residue. The instructions advise that when it is first used, you may experience itching, irritation or dryness, but I certainly didnt experience any of these.
I have never used any of the other treatments for cold sores, so have nothing with which to measure the effectiveness of this, but this really did work for me. I assume that if it is applied as soon as a cold sore is felt, then the cold sore will probably not develop into anything further.
For anyone with a cold sore, I would recommend this cream. It is effective, easy to apply, and about half the price of some of the other treatments, which has got to be a bonus.
Thanks for reading.
Soothelip for cold sores.

Genesis A.D
In Genesis A.D, global warming is yielding devastating blows on Earth as natural disasters are becoming more vicious and frequent. As melting polar ice caps lead to an ever-shrinking land mass, resources and space are becoming scarce - leading to widespread unrest amongst the world population. Extinction encroaches on the human race, driving the world's leaders to form the Earth Environment Protection Organization (EEPO). While meant for the betterment of the earth's current state, the new organization disregards many basic human rights and laws in its blind pursuit. In response to a fierce backlash, the EEPO creates a military force of elite soldiers and wages war on any factions opposing its tactics.

It's pouring here currently. There's a tornado siren blaring somewhere, a flood warning coming through on my Android, and a whole lot of lightning. I'm not used to weather, like actual real changing weather. It messes with my migraines. But the only thing I can think of is how lucky I am simply to be alive, to be breathing, and to have a network of people I care so deeply about. It's like that cliché hashtag came to life right now. I'm so #blessed, #nofilter. Maybe even #lucky too. I'm not even sure anymore how many apply right now. I'm really, really lucky.
Now that all the clichés are out of the way, I'm still struggling to find my way here in Chicago. I don't have many friends. I don't get overly excited about work. And, I have a boy who lives 2000 miles away. It's sometimes hard to realize that there's something good in every day when so much is stressful or painful.
It's hard to remember that even rainy days have rainbows somewhere, and it's all about dancing in the rain sometimes, right?
But on days like today, when I have to remind myself that it does in fact get better, it's sometimes nice to know that sometimes it really does.
Let's chat! How do you get through the tougher days? What helps keep you going through life's storms? Share with us here!

8 Lucky New Year's Day Pairings
When ringing in the New Year, we are celebrating the last 365 days, but even more so, looking forward to the year ahead. In hopes of making the upcoming year even better, eating certain foods for good luck on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day have become longstanding traditions in many parts of the world. We're making your New Year's a little more delicious by offering suggestions for craft beers to enjoy with some of the classic New Year's foods.
Pork | Brown Ale
Pigs are eaten throughout Europe as a food that symbolizes progress since the animal rarely moves backwards. Pork as a meat with rich fat content, which some believe symbolizes wealth and prosperity.
Whether it's chops or bacon, pork works well with sweet sauces and glazes, so the sweetness of a brown ale is a good match. On the other hand, many pork dishes, like smoked pulled pork, have bold flavors, so the brown ale's malty, fully body is a good, hearty choice.
- Palo Santo Marron | Dogfish Head Craft Brewed Ales | Milton, DE
- Brown Ale | Black Market Brewing Company | Temecula, CA
- Bolton Brown | The Alchemist | Waterbury, VT
- Nut Brown Ale | Blackstone Restaurant & Brewery | Nashville, TN
- Rye Knot Brown Ale | Coast Brewing | Charleston, SC
Grapes | Amber Ale
This tradition isn't just grapes, it's 12 grapes to be exact—one for every strike of the clock at midnight and every month of the year. The Spanish custom also says if your eighth grape is extra sweet, you'll have a good August in the new year.
Amber ales are similar to grapes, which can sometimes be a little bitter and sometimes be a little sweet. The balanced flavors from an amber ale, including a slight floral essence, bring out both sides of the grape.
- Atlantic Amber | New England Brewery | Woodbridge, CT
- Old Mission Amber Ale | Central Coast Brewing | San Luis Obispo, CA
- Misdemeanor Ale | Jailhouse Brewing Company | Hampton, GA
- Cross Fever Amber Ale | Epic Brewing Company | Salt Lake City, UT
Noodles | IPA
Throughout Asia, eating long noodles, like soba noodles, symbolizes an extended, happy life. The catch is to not break the noodles while you eat them, keeping them as long as possible.
Since many of the region's noodle dishes are served with chili paste, garlic, ginger and other spicy notes, an IPA has the punch that can stand up to the heat. While the bittnerness of hops can often intensify hotness, the citrus flavors have the ability to be refreshing as well.
- Inlet India Pale Ale | 16 Mile Brewery | Georgetown, DE
- Anti-Hero IPA | Revolution Brewing | Chicago, IL
- 11th Hour IPA | Crow Peak Brewing Company | Spearfish, SD
Fish | Wheat
In Europe, eating silver-scaled fish is thought to bring wealth in the future year, as the scales resemble coins. Throughout Japan, fish are signs of fertility, a good harvest and prosperity.
To ensure the mild flavors are not overshadowed, fish requires a lighter beer. Since many seafood dishes are often prepared with lemon or other citrusy flavors, a crispy wheat beer is a good compliment.
- Gumballhead | Three Floyds Brewing | Munster, IN
- Agave Wheat | Breckenridge Brewery | Denver, CO
- 5 Lizard Latin-Style Witbier | 5 Rabbit Cerveceria | Bedford Park, IL
- Half Dome California Wheat | Tioga-Sequoia Brewing | Fresno, CA
- Weizen | Blue Mountain Barrel House and Organic Brewery | Arrington, VA
Cake | Coffee Stout
Round or ring shaped cakes are New Year's Eve staples all over the world, as the shape represents completion of the entire year. In some countries, a coin is baked into the cake and whoever finds it is said to expect good fortune all year.
Dessert and coffee is a classic combo, and the robust coffee and toffee notes in these stouts break through even the sweetest of cakes.
- Coffee Stout | Bridge Brew Works | Fayetteville, WV
- Coffee Stout | Schlafly Beer | St. Louis, MO
- Java Coffee Stout | Southern Tier Brewing Company | Lakewood, NY
Pomegranate | Pale Ale
The vibrant red color of this fruit represents the human heart throughout the Mediterranean and Africa, where the fruit grows. Eating pomegranate is thought to bring a healthy year, especially fertility.
This antioxidant rich fruit can be quite bitter. A pale ale freshens your palate while still allowing the tart and sweet taste of the pomegranate to shine through.
- Pale Ale | (512) Brewing Company | Austin, TX
- Daisy Cutter Pale Ale | Half Acre Beer Company | Chicago, IL
- Moon Man | New Glarus Brewing Co. | New Glarus, WI
- Half Full Bright Ale | Half Full Brewery | Stamford, CT
Orange | Chocolate Stout
In Chinese, the words for orange and tangerine sound very similar to "wealth" and "luck." The round shape of these fruits also symbolizes completion of the entire year.
A contrasting flavor combination that works well is chocolate and orange. A chocolate stout works with the citrusy orange to make a unique flavor profile.
- Chocolate Oak Aged Yeti Imperial Stout | Great Divide Brewing Co. | Denver, CO
- Chocolate Porter | Bayhawk Ales | Irvine, CA
- Gran Sport Porter | COOP Ale Works | Oklahoma City, OK
- Chocolate Stout | Brooklyn Brewery | Brooklyn, NY
Beans | Barleywine
Peas, lentils, black eyed peas and other beans are thought to resemble small coins which in many cultures are thought to represent money in the new year. Beans also plump as they cook, symbolizing growing wealth.
Beans often have a very hearty texture. The strong alcohol content of a barley wine has the ability to cut through the denseness and refresh your palate.
