Beer Profile
Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier
Written by Noel
In keeping with Tom's review on Saison Dupont, I also recently partook in a famous, celebrated beer that has been on my "to try" list for months: Weihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier. The Weihenstephan Brewery in Germany can trace its roots all the way back to the year 768, and claims to be the oldest working brewery in the world. They make sure you know it, too; every bottle has "The World's Oldest Brewery" printed on the label. Whether this is true or not may be up for debate. What isn't up for debate is the quality of their beer.
The unfiltered (Hefe) version of their famous weissbier is beautiful thing. Classic German wheat beer at its best. All the right elements are there: hazy, golden-orange color, thick and foamy head, lively carbonation, and a fresh, pungent aroma from the yeast. And wow…I don't think I've ever smelled or tasted a beer where the yeast played such a dominant role. I don't consider my nose the most sensitive in the world, but along with classic elements of bread, banana, and cloves…I picked up hints of peach, apple, pear, lemon, and orange. Hands down the best smelling wheat beer I've come across. The taste is more subtle, with the bready, banana flavors shining through. Again, everything there that should be (yeast, light wheat malt, almost undetectable hops), and nothing that shouldn't (no off flavors or weird mouthfeel). And the yeast still lends its unique flavor profile to the mix; it's crisp yet smooth, fruity but not wimpy, and certifiably chug-able on a hot day. Drinkability factor is off the charts here, folks (knocking back one of their classic 500 mL bottles is relatively effortless).
I must give credit to my good friends Nate and Ben Kurz, who made this a priority on my beer tasting schedule. It is without a doubt one of the best (bottled) hefeweizens available this side of the pond. I also think it's widely available across the USA…meaning there's no reason you shouldn't have tried it already, or be on your way to picking one up after finishing this sentence.
Grade: AWeihenstephaner Hefe Weissbier,
Honestly, I have a new love of wheat beer, and this is THE best beer I have tried. Even my wife, a non-beer drinker, was blown away by the flavour and taste of it. She really hates beer but really liked this one, much to my consternation…:)
Enjoy with confidence, it's a great beer, IMHO.

Thanks for sharing, Dave. Couldn't agree more. I had pretty high expectations, but they were exceeded anyway. "Enjoy with confidence" indeed…enough said.Noel — June 2nd, 2010, 11:30 PM
This was the beer me and my brother were going to fly to Germany to have. Unfortunately there was two inches of snow and London closed down. So we went to Fullers brewery in London instead. It was a great tour and at the end it was all you can drink.ben kurz — September 8th, 2010, 10:59 AM
This beer was introduced to me on a random pick at the bar. When the top was popped I was blown away by the smell of clove. Its definately a very enjoyable beer. Sadly the closest place I can find it is 2 1/2 hrs away 🙁TJ — January 19th, 2011, 10:10 PM
I'm surprised some of you folks are just now noticing this beer . I've been drinking this stuff and sneider weisse for 20+ yrs . The e are some very good other then nes from Germany also…..check out the English beer site for college folks….it has a lot of em . The ones InBev hasn't bought and screwed up , that is .Carl — April 21st, 2017, 10:50 PM

IDP Report Week 14 Saturday Edition
Rising and falling IDP for Week 14, with injury news, too
Wouldn't it be great to know what the ownership percentages of the players would be in the NBA DFS contests you play on FanDuel? Well, with the NBA Ownership, you got it. Get 50% off NOW with Promo Code: NBAOWN
Plenty of options available this week as we head into the fantasy playoffs. Hope you are still alive with a chance to take the championship. Here are my suggestions to help get you through this week's games and into the next round. Good luck to all our readers.
Elevator Going Up
Rey Maualuga CIN
Jason Worilds Pit
Nick Roach OAK
Jon Beason NYG
Maualuga has not missed a beat since returning and to my chagrin, ousting Rey Vincent from the Bengals' LB corps. The tackles are continuing to mount for this beast of an IDP. Worilds has been coming on strong of late, and 2 sacks in Week 13 should put him on everyone's IDP radar. Grab him if you can, as the Miami match up this week is a good one. Roach had 10 solos last week (11 total tackles) plus he had 2 sacks and one forced fumble. In a big play league, he is becoming a must start, if he isn't already. Beason had quieted down since his auspicious entrance as the Giants starting middle linebacker, but last week showed his skill level when he put up 17 total tackles, with 13 of those being of the solo variety. I like him against the Chargers this weekend, even though I don't like the Giants' chances after a coast to coast trip.
Defensive Linemen
Olivier Vernon DE MIA
Justin Tuck DE NYG
Trent Cole DE PHI
Lamarr Houston DE OAK
Ziggy Ansah DE DET
Julius Peppers DE CHI
Wallace Gilberry DT CIN
Vernon is the DE to own in Miami, despite all the press Cameron Wake gets. Putting up 2.5 sacks in Week 13 portends good things going forward. Tuck and Cole are both veterans that I will confess I wrote off early on. They have been gathering steam, however, and are both worth of a roster position as we head into the fantasy playoff season. If they can stay healthy, they will prove to be savvy wire pickups at this late juncture of the season. Houston is likely available on your waiver wire, and he would be a fine choice as he faces the lackluster Jets this week. Ansah is a welcome post-injury return for the Lions, and going up against the Eagles mediocre rushing game this week is just sauce for the goose. Peppers, like Cole and Tuck, is a smart veteran player who has picked up his game over the past few weeks. He is the best thing in a beat up Chicago D, and with a Monday Night Game to showcase his skills, I like his chances to give you that extra boost to win your match up this week. Gilberry also has a nice match up, facing the Colts who just surrendered 5 sacks in Week 13.
Defensive Backs
Craig Steltz S Chi
James Ihedigbo S BAL
Eric Weddle S SD
Andrew Sendejo S MIN
Sam Shields CB GB
With Major Wright most likely out this week again, Steltz is good wire pickup who should give you good tackle numbers. Ihedigbo facing the Vikings looks extremely tempting, especially after a 10 tackle/2 PD game in Week 13. The Vikings are a mess and surrender tackles to safeties in bunches. Weddle is a solid contributor, and has been stepping it up in the past few weeks to make him a top 10 DB again. He is prolly available for you to snag, and with the Giants making the long trek to San Diego, I foresee good results if you plug him into your starting lineup. Sendejo, as I predicted, is the DB to grab in Minnesota. The defense spends a lot of time on the field, and he is benefitting. Grab him and you will too. Shields is back on the field, and making big plays again. Assuming Green Bay will not be lighting it up with the return of Aaron Rodgers looking doubtful in Week 14, I still like him to be target of the rejuvenated Matt Ryan when the Falcons come to town Sunday evening.
Escalator Going Down
Terrell Suggs BAL
Vincent Rey CIN
Sio Moore OAK
Suggs started out like a house on fire, but the flames have been doused of late. Feel free to drop him for another and better option. Rey lost his starting position with the return of Maualuga, and with that demotion, has become an IDP liability. Drop him now, too. Moore put up a big fat goose egg in Week 13, despite being an every down LB. Maybe he has hit the rookie wall? Bench him and hope for a recovery before the season ends.
Defensive Linemen
Cameron Wake DE MIA
Nick Fairley DT DET
As noted above, I prefer Olivier Vernon to Wake at this point in the season. I myself have made the swap where I could, and I urge you to do so too. Fairley is continuing to be a dog, although my recent lambasting of Ndamukong Suh was misplaced I am glad to report as a Lions fan. You can find more appealing DT options on the wire, and would do well to dump the underperforming Fairley.
Defensive Backs
Nothing to report this week
Ouch (My Aching Roster)
All the injury reports below need to be evaluated at kickoff. Teams are notoriously sketchy about injury reports, and we often do not know a player's status until just before game time. The list below is intended as a "heads up" as to what is going on early in the week, and should not be considered definitive.
Elvis Dumervil BAL (ankle)
Kavell Conner IND (ankle)
Tank Carder CLE (shoulder)
Brandon Spikes NE (knee)
Jordan Senn CAR (hamstring)
Lance Briggs CHI (shoulder)
Justin Houston KC (elbow)
Defensive Linemen
Chris Canty DE BAL (shoulder)
Brett Keisel DE PIT (foot)
Jason Pierre-Paul DE NYG (shoulder)
Defensive Backs
Josh Evans S JAX (shoulder-OUT)
Tyvon Branch S OAK (ankle)
Brandon Meriweather S WAS (chest)
Reed Doughty S WAS (concussion)
Morris Claiborne CB DAL (hamstring)
Brandon Browner CB SEA (groin)
Corey Webster CB NYG (ankle)
Brandon McGee CB StL (foot)
Champ Bailey CB DEN (foot)
Chris Houston CB DET (foot)
Kyle Arrington CB NE (groin)
Aqib Talib CB NE (hip)
Josh Robinson CB MIN (chest)
As ever, good luck and Godspeed in your fantasy efforts. Make sure to read all of our great articles to help you win your fantasy match ups every week and ultimately bask in championship glory.

text: Hoping someone can help me out with this... I have a Schecter stiletto studio fretless 4 string and LOVE IT! But it would look so much better if I could cover the fingerboard lines. If I need to look when hitting a particular rift, I'm looking at the neck edge not the face of the fingerboard. I tried a black Sharpie to cover the lines and it looked great. But it wears off fast. Has anyone successfully hidden fingerboard lines on a fretless? How? Thanks in advance !!

EE Graduate Students Created a Student Chapter of Electrochemical Society
Electrical engineering graduate students created a student chapter of the Electrochemical Society (ECS). The UCR student chapter was approved at the Electrochemical Society's meeting in Montreal, Canada. Doctoral graduate students and PhD candidates Khan M. Farhan Shahil, Javed Khan, M. Zahid Hossain and Muhammad Rahman serve as the UCR chapter's chair, vice chair, secretary and treasurer, respectively. Other graduate student members – founders of the UCR chapter – include Jie Yu, Craig Nolen, Vivek Goyal, Guanxiong Liu and Desalegne Teweldebrhan. Professor Alexander A. Balandin serves as a faculty advisor and mentor. The founding graduate students conduct their dissertation research in Professor Balandin's Nano-Device Laboratory (NDL). The UCR student chapter of ECS became the second one in the UC system after the UC Berkeley chapter, which was founded in 2006. Both chapters are listed on ECS web-site.
The idea to create an ECS student chapter came to the students after some of them attended and gave talks at the Electrochemical Society's annual meeting in Las Vegas in 2010. The students were impressed with the quality of technical presentations, and opportunities for interactions with researchers and engineers from both academia and industry. Professor Balandin's history of participation in ECS meetings dates back to 1995. The students' dissertation research in NDL include investigation of thermal and electronic properties of graphene, applications of graphene in electronic devices, nanostructured materials for thermoelectric, photovoltaic and battery applications.
ECS was founded in 1902 as an international nonprofit, educational organization concerned with a broad range of phenomena relating to electrochemical and solid-state science and technology. ECS has more than 8,000 scientists and engineers in over 70 countries worldwide, who hold individual membership, as well as about 100 corporations and laboratories that hold corporate membership. ECS bridges the gaps among academia, research, and engineering—bringing together scientists from around the world for the exchange of technical information.

Europe Trip Report – Day 5 – Around Munich
This morning, once again – I am giving the Hilton Munich City hotel serious accolades. Here's why……. Isator gate.
Today is our last day in Munich before heading up to Berlin for a couple of days. We realized this morning, not really to our surprise that we had planned a rather aggressive schedule of travel the next few days and we were asking for some trouble. Tonight we planned on taking a night train (nacht zug) to Berlin to kill two birds with one stone – we will not have to spend 6 hours of daylight on a train and we can avoid having another hotel stay. Then we were planning on being in Berlin at the Hilton Berlin for one night before taking another night train to Heidelberg. The only problem was that we did not have a night train with sleeper and would be making changes at 3:30am and 5:20am in the morning. Finally reality hit us this morning. So, a quick change of plans meant that instead of taking a night train in a couple of days, we will take a late afternoon train to Frankfurt for the evening before continuing to Heidelberg in the morning. However, we did not have a reservation. This is where the staff at the Hilton Munich City really helped. They called the Frankfurt Hilton, made a rewards reservation and took care of the whole thing for us. Too easy, and great job!
We spent our last day in Munich seeing the sites that our previous walking tours had not taken us on. Our first stop was the Munich Olympic Park.
While we have not yet seen Oliver Stone's new picture, Munich – about the events that took place back in 1972, we still wanted to visit and see the park. We took the friendly S-bahn out to the grounds and walked around. One of the first sites we saw entering the park was a street vendor selling white asparagus or spargel – a popular delicacy in Germany.
The park is expansive and covers quite a bit of space. As you approach it, the first thing you notice is the tower (spire) that sits in the middle of it. We immediately recognized it from a past Amazing Race season where the contestants took a bungee jump off the top of it. Beyond that you see the interesting architecture of the buildings that make up the park. Each building is covered what can be described as a glass drape that has been placed over the top of them. They appear fluid and are supported by a wire system that lifts and provides tension to hold them in place. Perhaps the thing I find most puzzling about the Park and main Olympic stadium is that there are no World Cup preparations taking place. To my eye, it appears that this Olympic stadium is every bit as capable of hosting several World Cup matches as the soccer stadium on the outskirts of town used by Bayern Munich. However, it will not be. We make our way across the rest of the park to a hill that overlooks the entire park and take a couple of pictures before leaving.
As we exit the park, we heading to the nearest tram stop to catch a line that is heading towards the Nymphenburg Palace, our next stop. The Nympenburg palace, while relatively young in age is impressive from the walk up and has a sprawling set of gardens. We explore the gardens a little before running out time before we need to head back to the Marienplatz by the way of Karlsplatz.
Marienplatz's largest attraction and one that we were really looking forward to was the clock tower. We purposely planned a day where we could see the clock 'perform' specifically at noon, because it would naturally last longer than the ones at 10:00am or 3:00. Watching the clock tower realizing its age and how long it has been operating is quite amazing. It is well worth the wait and spending the time to see it.
Here are some pictures from the rest of the afternoon:
2006 World Cup preparations.
As we searched for a place to eat dinner, we realized that we needed a little break from the typical heavy German food that one has while in Bavaria. So, we came across a very interesting Argentinean/Brazilian restaurant chain, the Maredo Steak. It is located just a couple blocks off of Marienplatz at Rindermarkt 5 – right next to the open air market. In summary, nothing to write home about or make sure you see when you are in Germany. However, it did have a non-smoking section which was a plus.
Now we are off to the Munich Hauptbahnhof to catch our night train (nacht zug) to Berlin. Perhaps the biggest oddity about the trip is that we will be going to Berlin via Stuttgart and Frankfurt, the longer way rather than going the more direct route.
Isator gate.

So ive just finished importing the rest of my movies and here is a little bit more feedback...
On the home screen, in the sub menu's you have removed the bold text (thank god) however you have left the selected item bold? Can this be changed? It is already highlighted "orange" and doesnt need to be bold as well. I feel the bold text is just not as elegant as the normal non bold version and just stands out a bit to much
In movie fanart view, would you consider placing the movie publisher/studio logo (fox/paramount etc) exactly were you have positioned it for the tv shows fanart view, above the window? I think it would look nice up there and would flow with the rest of the video views such as tv shows etc...
Would you consider look at reducing the size of the ratings logos? They are really big and are makin this view look very untidy, i'd like to see smaller versions and perhaps position them below the video window (centered)
Thank you so much for the new imdb rating system in fanart view (i love you for that) however, again it is in bold text and is very big?
Is it possible for the imdb rating to be in the standard font and still be positioned exactly where it is. Would you also consider changing the word "Rating" for a standar small IMDB Logo? I feel this would look beautiful.
The only final tiny thing i would mention would be (and i am struggleing to really justify this one) that the selected movie/tv show in fanart view be enlarged by a fraction more, just to bring it more into focus and give it a bit more stage presence...
Im really struggeling to find any issues, so even though these ones are tiny little personal things, i though i may as well mention them
Other than that, this is about as close to perfection as i think it could be! Its incredible and feels like a very expensive appliance rathern than a £150 revo
Thanks again guys,
Beers are ready when you are :-)

PatrickBateman Wrote:As for the now playing, you are correct in saying that it is correctly positioned directly on top of the RSS bar... however... and heres where it is difficult to explain...
Butcha, maybe we need to do another conditional layout i.e. 1 for when RSS is enabled, and 1 for when it isn't...
Patrick, very jealous you're in Scotland - I lived in Edinburgh for 4 years and would move back in a flash. London's just not the same!
- butchabay - 2011-06-06
I'll see to adjust the extended now playing bar.
About the animation on home, you can just delete some lines in home.xml and it will show the old animation.
I'm going to set fanart image fallback in fanart view for landscape.jpg if possible, because as i know info labels can't be set as fallback.
Another solution could be to make a copy of the fanart image and rename it to landscape.jpg.
Ofcourse i'm going to remove the bold font in submenus, i just forgot it for last update.
Rating IMDB numbers i'll see if i get a nice IMDB Rating Flag, just have to ask htpc guy as he's doing the grafix for cirrus extended, also the trailer flag when a video is playing have to be replaced ... i'm not sure about positioning of the studio logos, size of rating flag and it's position, have to play a bit around and post some screenshots so we can decide what is looking better.
Thanx for reporting such little details and i'm sure we'll get this skin to nearly perfection
conditional layout with enabled or disabled rss bar is a good idea, i'm going to change it for the next update.

Also, what are the specifications for the flags and ill see if i can contribute something here by creatng some custom mpaa flags or something? im have no coding experience etc and have no idea where to start but ill give it a go and im sure over time, ill be able to figure something out :-)
I'm looking add/change the following,
Add Small Ratings Flags (ill try and make some new flags in PS CS5)
Trailer flag when video window active need changing (as you mentioned)
IMDB Rating changed from "RATING <bold>" to either "Rating <un-bold>" or a logo (i can see if i can sort a nice imdb logo out OR if you let me know where/what to edit i can change it my self :-)
The bold text on the home screen submenus (highlighted menu)
What are the specifications for the logos and what are the files i need to edit to make these changes, and ill see if i can come up with something? Or at least ill have a play and see what damage i can do lol

PatrickBateman Wrote:Hey,
Absolutely, that's the best way to do it.
Just make backups of the stuff you're changing before you do it and then have a go.
I've really got very little skinning experience indeed - the Extended Now Playing was one of the first things I tried.
It just takes patience!
The wiki is helpful too (http://wiki.xbmc.org/?title=Skinning_XBMC).
In respect of keeping the now playing numbers static, I'll make the changes (tonight if possible) and send you the file. However, I'll also add lots of comments around the changes so you can see what I've done and why it (hopefully) works!

Delete Line 2-9 in home.xml
I've found the original imdb logo (google search) and it looks pretty nice.
About Trailer Flag:
Maybe i'm just going to set a label "Trailer" and no logo ... i think it will look cleaner ...
Now about rating flags ... what i can do is to integrate an option to choose 2 sets of rating flags ... keep the originals and option to choose the 2nd set ® (PG-13) and so on ...

Maybe you can try to switch to another language and then switch back to german. As said i have no problems, so the issue have to be somwhere else.
Which font are you using ?

yes, i use these settings with Xbmc 10.1.
if i switch to english and back to german it also dosnt work. Font is standart, but with other fonts the same problem.
In other skins it works fine.

There is no problem with the skin. Maybe you should try to delete your guisettings (backup first) and then try again ...

I'm not a huge fan of white teas but I have found some that are very good. This tea I got from one of my favorite tea shops, the Tao of Tea. It's an organic white tea from southern India, in the mountainous Nilgiri region. The leaves a long and hard, reminding in looks to some pine needles at first. The liquor steeps up a pale golden yellow color. I find the flavor very subtle and uninspiring for me. It's ok… but I prefer a little more flavor.

A schism is developing in the beer world - about the image of real ale lovers.
In-fighting within long-time protector of Britain's real ale traditions, the Campaign for Real Ale (CamRa) threatens to break out into war, with the creation of a rival organisation a serious possibility.
The war of words is all about how the image of real ale drinkers is presented to the world.
"Everyone used to know that beer drinkers had huge bellies, long hair (often tied back in a pony tail), beards and T-shirts that turned the names of beer in innuendoes," said Keith Deerstalker, spokesman for Camra fringe group Camrade - the Campaign for Real Ale Drinkers.
"But now the picture is being confused by Camra and breweries' PR - they actually seem to be in bed together on this.
"Every year around the time of the Great British Beer Festival, press releases go out with pictures of young, good-looking thin, aspirational types enjoying a brew. They even include pictures of young women having a pint!
"The Press prints these pictures and articles about how we all have the wrong idea about beer drinkers!
"These are worrying developments.
"Camra is one of the most successful consumer pressure groups ever and has helped to ensure that there is still a healthy, lively real ale culture in this country.
"But the image of the fan is being tainted - why aren't we protecting that? That's traditional too - as much as the beer and pubs we drink it in.
"That Roger Protz, the beer writer guy they always wheel out for book signings and lectures and tasting, doesn't help. He looks quite normal - you wouldn't think to look him that there's a serious beer drinker there.
"If Camra doesn't start to look after it's genuine support base, we in Camrade might have to think about setting up in opposition."

DEFINITION of 'Patent Share'
The percentage share of a universe of patents owned or created by one subset of that universe. This term usually applies to a comparative share between nations. Patent share has been subdivided not only across nations, but within industry groups and even in companies relative to each other. Patent share is becoming increasingly important to competitive advantage as the applicability of patents extends into information processes, computer software, chemical formulas and other intangibles.
BREAKING DOWN 'Patent Share'
For example, the United States had a worldwide patent share of 43% as of 2003. The United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) keeps track of the percentage of new patent issues that belong to every country on the globe, as well as the ratio of company-owned patents to those held by individuals.
By examining industries that are growing their market shares in patent discoveries, investors can get a sense of the health and vibrancy of an industry. Industries such as technology, biotech and pharmaceuticals have seen the largest share gains in the past decade; they also show the highest annual growth rates.

Question, how do single mom's do it?
When I was a single mother I had my mom watch my son so that I could work normal 8-5 type of hours. Do you have any family that can help you out? Or if you make more money working at night maybe family/friends can sit with him while he sleeps so you can work and no once actually has to watch him. Also sometimes churches that do preschool/daycare give single parents a discount or maybe they can watch him free part time if you tell them about your situation. Your pediatrician may be able to get you a refferal for in home care also. Hang in there!
Wow your plate is full isn't it? If you have any family around, call on them to help.... if that is not an option, see if there are any programs in your area for special needs children.... check with your church,...... but above all else, hang in there!!!! things will get better!!
Im sure if you had family... you WOULD have asked.. LOL... Im family-less.. so I KNOW there are no options out there sometimes.
That being said... I do have a hubby (who is at work ALL the time-- so I am a single mom in care-- but not in money!) .. I CAN NOT imagine how hard it must be for you.. my heart goes out to you.
Are there other mom's in your sons class at school who are in a similar postion? Perhaps you could trade off afternoon care with them? Then it would seem more like a playdate then a bbster.
Does your son go to public school or private? Mainstream? Can you call your local SEPTA (special education parent teacher association) chapter and see if there is aftercare available for special needs kids in your area? You may qualify for some assistance. Since your son is on the spectrum your special ed board may be able to recommend some other avenues....
City, you say.. what City, I'm outside NYC. U close?
BTW your little guy is ADORABLE!!!!!
I was a single mother for 7 years and you do it because you have no choice. There is another person that depends on you to care for him. Have you applied for any type of assistance? I was able to get baby sitting help and my son went to a theraputic pre school.
Hugs I know how hard it is.
Hugs mama! You do have a lot on your plate...good luck!
Thank you all for your advice. I live in Far Rockaway and my son is bused to a Private school in Manhattan. I don't have family members that can help. My mother lives in PR, my daughter is 25 and lives in AR. His dad is out of the question because the law will not allow him near us. I was bartending for fifteen years, not only I am getting older, I beat stage four stomach cancer in 2010. With that said staying up at night is very bad for my health. I have asked at my fellowship but everyone works. The older women can not handle his violent melt downs or out burst. I am going to see what I can find threw the city for home child care. The last babysitter quit, she became afraid of my son. He is nine 5'0 and where a 8 in men shoes lol he is a big boy. I am praying that god will open the door some where. I applied for a school crossing guard position in my local PCT they work until 3:30PM/ M-F. I pray they call me. It's a major pay cut but it's still better then nothing. Thank you for your advice, I'm not giving up.
Wish the State would be able to provide jobs for mom's like myself who are in such a bind with there children. I sure I can't be the only one.

I took my daughter to Raleigh today and we went to the spice shop and two tea shops and….get this….I didn't buy ANY tea. Don't clap. I am ashamed because one order came yesterday and three more boxes are on the way so I really couldn't justify buying any tea. I did, however, buy a Zoku ice pop maker because Tin Roof Teas had a recipe for green tea and fruit Popsicles in their newsletter! :)
I got this at Teavana. I have had it several times there. This is a blooming tea, and as far as I know they do not sweeten this one, though they do sweeten their other samples. The last time I had it, the salesgirl apologized and told me that it was a white blooming tea and really more for looking at than drinking as it had very little flavor. I disagree! It is mild, but far from lacking flavor and interest.
The peach is very fresh tasting and rather subdued, not "in your face". Today, the salesperson who helped me (hey, I didn't get pestered this time!) told me there is a strawberry version that she likes even more. I bet I would like that one best, too!

The Foothill-De Anza Community College District's board of trustees has new leadership for 2014.
The board selected Palo Alto resident Bruce Swenson to lead as president in 2014 and chose Cupertino resident Pearl Cheng as vice president.
Swenson is serving a second term on the board after running unopposed for re-election. He was initially elected to the board in 2005 after a 32-year career as a faculty member and administrator at Foothill College.
Cheng was appointed in 2008 to fill a vacancy on the board and was elected the following year without opposition. Cheng manages a program for at-risk youth for United Way Silicon Valley.
"Foothill-De Anza is one of the premier community college districts in the nation, and I am proud to be president of the board of trustees of such an outstanding organization," Swenson said in a press statement released by the district.
The new officers were selected during a regular December meeting. Swenson takes over for outgoing president Betsy Bechtel. Swenson also appointed Cheng and trustee Laura Casas to the Foothill-De Anza Foundation's board of directors, and named Bechtel and trustee Joan Barram to the board's audit and finance committee, where they will serve with four community members.
During his career at Foothill College, Swenson worked as a math instructor, then served as dean of the division of physical sciences, mathematics and engineering. He later joined the administration to manage Foothill's business and budget operations as vice president of educational resources.
Swenson holds a doctorate degree in education from UC-Berkeley, a master's degree in math from the University of Wisconsin and a bachelor's degree in math from Stanford University. Cheng holds a master's degree in mechanical engineering from Stanford University and a bachelor's in engineering from the University of Iowa.

In a searingly candid memoir that he authored himself, Grammy Award-winning pop icon Rick Springfield pulls back the curtain on his image as a bright, shiny, happy performer to share the startling story of his rise and fall and rise in music, film, and television, and his lifelong battle with depression.
In the 1980s, singer-songwriter and actor Rick Springfield seemed to have it all: a megahit single in "Jessie's Girl", sold-out concert tours, follow-up hits that sold more than 17 million albums. He became the pop soundtrack for an entire generation, including the 12 million daily viewers who avidly tuned in to General Hospital to swoon over his portrayal of the handsome Dr. Noah Drake. Yet lurking behind his success as a pop star and soap opera heartthrob and his unstoppable drive was a moody, somber, and dark soul, one filled with depression and insecurity.
In Late, Late at Night, the memoir his millions of fans have been waiting for, Rick takes readers inside the highs and lows of his extraordinary life. By turns winningly funny and heartbreakingly sad, every page resonates with Rick's witty, wry, self-deprecating, brutally honest voice. On one level, he reveals the inside story of his ride to the top of the entertainment world. On a second, deeper level, he recounts with unsparing candor the forces that have driven his life, including his longtime battle with depression and thoughts of suicide, the shattering death of his father, and his decision to drop out at the absolute peak of fame.
Having finally found a more stable equilibrium, Rick's story is ultimately a positive one, deeply informed by his passion for creative expression through his music, a deep love of his wife of 26 years and their two sons, and his life-long quest for spiritual peace.

"Late night snack"
As a child of the 80s It pains me to not like this book- Jesse's Girl was first song I heard coming out of my very first radio. It seemed like a sign, and I loved RS thereafter.
Which now seems rather ironic, given that he loves to talk about "signs" in his bio. And his many trysts, not to mention going on and on about how wonderful the wife he keeps cheating on is. And his depression, which he calls "Mr. D," and seems quite reminiscent of Dexter's Dark Passenger.
But none of it is in much depth- he's miserable enough to end up on lithium for a time, but doesn't really describe what either the depression or the relief feel like. He uses and tosses away many (many) girls but doesn't explain the inner mechanism that drives him to it. He and his wife have many issues to overcome, but there's no real explanation of how they do this- she's just "endlessly understanding" as they "work together."
Plus RS wants it both ways. In the book he literally chastises the reader for standing in judgement of him about all his behavior- some of which is quite creepy, including the only affair he goes into depth about, involving a clearly crazy kid with daddy issues. Yet without the sort of behavior that begets chastisement, what kind of book deal would he have gotten?
I have no doubt that he's suffered immensely in his life, both by circumstance and through his own actions. It would have been a much better book if the reader was able to find a larger sense of growth after his "late late night" finally ended.
"Confessional, honest, bitter and yet a bit creepy"
I haven't got the print edition. I am unhappy that there is NO ACCOMPANYING PDF so that we audiobook purchasers can see the pictures, so the print edition certainly has that one over the audiobook.
I really got to like when he would give voice to his depression, which he calls "the Darkness" or "Mr. D". He uses his natural speaking accent (Australian) and I believe this added greatly to the honesty & emotional impact of the book.
I hope the writing of this book was cathartic and/or healing for him in some way, for it seems that the serious therapy he undertook in the past only helped him better understand his misery & what drives him. His bitterness at those who have wronged him and his willingness to share a fair number of his sexual conquests (which must number into the thousands) - that's the creepy part.
I very much liked how often he described how deeply he feels for his long-suffering wife, and throughout shed light on what sex addiction is really like; suffice it to say: addiction is addiction is addiction.
Another thing that is truly remarkable about this book is that he goes through - perhaps somewhat exhaustively - each one of his albums and shows us part of his songwriting process and how he made each one. After listening to the book, I went back and listened to several of the albums he's made in the last 30 years and the songwriting is solid. I especially like "Venus in Overdrive" & "Songs for the End of the World", but an album I really didn't care for when it came out, "Tao", seems very different to me now.
I mostly enjoyed this book & I mostly enjoyed hearing Rick Springfield read his own words. I think I was led to listen to this book after watching Dave Grohl's film, "Sound City", of which RS is a part (and I HIGHLY recommend this film if you are a music fan). Learning more of his story has made me reconsider his music and see him as the songwriter he really is, not as the teen idol I thought he was when I was in Junior High. As Springfield is in his mid-sixties in age and still rockin' pretty hard, I'm thinking I may have to make it a point go to one of his concerts and soon.
"Didn't like this book"
I was hoping there was some wisdom to be found in this book due to his battle with depression, but heard none. I found it slow moving and depressing.
"Very honest"
I have been a fan for a long time however, have watched his recent troubles in the press and wondered what was really happening with him. This book is candid and makes Rick Springfield seem more human with the same problems we all have. The fact that he narrated it himself is a plus and by being truthful despite of any fall out from fans made this a worthwhile read. Highly recommend.
"Shock and awe"
This tome is both very engaging and cringe inducing but as read by the author, still quite enjoyable. You expect tales of Rock and Roll excess and you get it! Don't be confused by some reviews, he doesn't excuse what he's done but he tries to provide a reason for it as best this broken man can. It may change how you think about some of his music.
"Human after all"
Most enjoyable was to hear this in Rick Springfield's own voice!
I enjoyed Rick's humor while sharing his life with us. I also appreciate his candidness and honestly in his shared laughter and pain.
Only his music and acting. I love both.
The Darkness Hasn't Spoiled Me Yet
This was a very interesting book. It was very enjoyable and Rick seemed to write what and how he felt. He gave it to us straight and I am happy that he has someone to share his life with. This book let us enter his life and share his views of his success and the demons he's faced. I can certainly understand his depression. It is not an easy thing to get a grip on. May God Bless him and his family. I'm glad he will finally get his own Star in Hollywood next year.
"Loved it"
As a Springfield fan, I enjoy the book. I enjoyed that fact that he narrated it. He has a interesting life and had lots of lows as well as highs in his career. I for one am glad the "rope broke"
"Great book if you are a fan"
I really enjoyed this book. It offers a lot of insight regarding the inspiration for many of his songs. Sure, his life was a bit odd, but it is what it is. I love that he narrated the book himself. It added an air of personalization to the whole experience.
"Rick and I have both grown up!"
Ok, I admit it, I had Rick Springfield posters all over my room as a teen. I watched General Hospital. I had every Rick album, knew every word to every song and saw him in concert countless times. Oh and let's not forget all the teen magazines from the '80's. I thought I knew him inside and out...young love...so naive!
I feel I know the REAL Rick now. And guess what? He's better than my fantasy guy who was way too perfect. This is a great book that tells of the struggles of mental health, trying to make it in show business and keeping relationships in tact along the way. Rick is a real guy who has real problems and we can even relate to them. Money, family, job stress and aging.
I read it because I was curious about my teen idol. I liked it because he's a real person whom I can relate to as an adult. Yes, there is some raw language and adult topics, but I'm guessing no one under 40 is probably going to read the novel. Entertaining, funny in parts and sad in others. The casual connections to people he knows and has "encountered" is pretty amazing..and he's amazed too!
Good job Mate!
"Rick Springfield feels much more real.."
I absolutely loved this!! I had no idea how much terrible stuff he had to go through. I have more respect and love for him for keeping on.

Audi commits to Le Mans, and it is from this eventful endurance race that they gain a lot of experience and incorporate them in their road cars. Although their updated LMP1 racer is still called the R18 e-Tron Quattro and still has a diesel engine inside, a lot has changed under the skin.
For starters, the LMP1 racer now looks more sinister with its matte black overall with dashes or red finish. They had also settled for a new set of laser headlights, similar to the technology used by BMW on their i8, which is optionally available.
Dubbed by Audi themselves as "the most complex race car ever built by Audi", this new racer can still clock similarly fast lap times as they did in the past, but with 30-percent less fuel. And in endurance racing, that is considered as a huge advantage from the rivals.
Situated at the center of the car is the further developed V6 TDI diesel engine that sends all its power to the rear wheels, assisted by two hybrid systems. One is an electric turbocharger called the Energy Recovery System Heat (ERS-H), where it stores energy converted from heat. The second system powers the front axle and features the Energy Recovery System Kinetic (ERS-K), storing the kinetic energy. The car may look similar to last year's version, but it is in fact 100mm narrower, 20mm higher and has a larger cockpit.
Audi's R18 may be the reigning champion in Le Mans, but they would have to work hard as Toyota is sticking close to their tail, and Porsche would definitely give a strong challenge in 2014.

Dont think that was the size i got, i did not have to shim them at all.
Printable View
Stupid question - has anyone used these racks in addition to the original factory ones? I'd love to get two of these racks, for the price it's a hell of a deal, but I would still need a rack to put another board in (typically go out with 5 boards). I am getting tired of having to always stow one. I am curious if these will play nice with the original facotry ones. I'm thinking you might be able to move the factory ones up a 'rung' but was curious about clearance.
Not sure exactly what you're going for here other then one more rack, but just to make sure you know these racks they are selling are wakeboard/Surfboard racks (thin/thick ones)
Also, if you leave your regular racks on the oval "Moomba" bar you could just mount these swivel racks lower on the tower so that they swing out UNDER your other rack.... Just a thought
Oh, I know exactly what they are, and want them because they are wake+surf racks. I don't want to mount them too much lower than Daze shows his being mounted because I want them higher than eye level when they are swiveled out. So, the question is, with them mounted where Daze has them, would the factory racks still be usable in either the original spot or one rung higher on the tower.
Thanks Daze, I think I saw a photo today of a similar setup to what I am looking for, and it looked like it worked out okay. They are on order so I'll figure it out. Thanks!!

Police were questioning an 18-year-old last night on suspicion of murdering two of his teenage friends.
They were part of a larger group of friends who had gathered in woodland on the outskirts of Wokingham, Berkshire. A fight is believed to have broken out which left a 14-year-old and a 16-year-old dead.
A post mortem examination revealed that the 16-year-old died from what Thames Valley Police described as an "incised wound to the throat". A post mortem examination on the 14-year-old, who is understood to have had no visible injury, was being carried out last night.
Neither boy has been formally identified. But they have been identified locally in tributes left close to the scene as Steven Bayliss, 16, and his 14-year-old friend Twood Nadauld, thought to be of Thai origin.
Steven had left Emmbrook comprehensive school earlier this year after taking his GCSEs while the other boy was still a pupil at the school.
Two men, both 18, were arrested on suspicion of murder. One was released last night without charge. The other remained in custody and police were expected this morning to seek an extension from magistrates to the time that they can hold him without charge.
At 8.15pm on Sunday police were called and told two boys were badly injured near Bluebell Walk.
It was dark and police used a helicopter with thermal imaging equipment to locate the boys, who were found close together beside the footpath on the edge of woodland. They were certified dead at the scene.
Later in the evening police arrested a man who lived in Wokingham with his parents. A second arrest followed a short while later. Both had been pupils at the same school in Wokingham.
It is not known if there were witnesses to the killings but police said it was evident that a group of teenagers, all known to each other, had gathered earlier in the evening.
The area and the road leading to it were sealed off yesterday and forensic scientists were searching for clues. It was not known if a weapon had been recovered.
Groups of children and parents, some in tears, gathered beside a police cordon to leave flowers and written tributes. Nearby residents spoke of their shock that a double killing could happen in Wokingham, the third most affluent town in the country and with one of the lowest incidences of crime in the Thames Valley Police area.
The mother of Twood Nadauld was brought to the scene. She had to be helped by relatives as, crying, she was taken to the spot where her son's body was found.
Bob Wyatt, a Wokingham district councillor, said: "What on earth is happening around here? The parents living here are well-educated, affluent people."
- Thames Valley detectives were last night investigating the unconnected killing of a man on the outskirts of Wokingham. A man has been charged with murder and was due to appear before magistrates at Slough today.

It's rolling into summer here and the tomatoes are off the charts, and so they are showing up about 3 times a week in our dinners, (apologies to you northern-hemisphere dwellers). I had my first adventure in noodle making and made the rookie mistakes: too-thick pasta that wasn't uniform. Ah well, the taste was still heavenly. While googling I also learned that Marco Polo did NOT bring noodles to Italy from China, it had already been there for 200 years. Pshht. If this is your first time, get some pasta-making tips first from the pioneer woman (I did not use a flour bin like she did) and know that you don't need any special tools. I'm trying out a new format for my recipes, I hope it will be more convenient (and also more aesthetically pleasing).
This recipe is modified from epicurious and the NY Times (I hate it when people pretend they were the first person to come up with the idea of putting a vegetable under some fire and adding salt).
Yield: 2
-12 oz or 340 grams cherry tomatoes, halved
-5-8 medium garlic cloves, minced
-3 tablespoons evoo
-2/3 grated parmesan, grana padano or pecorino
-1/4 cup basil, or parsley, or oregano or a mix of these.
-salt and pepper to taste
-1 cup unbleached all purpose flour, a little more for dusting
-2 eggs
Sauce: Preheat oven to 300 F or 150 C. Mix the tomatoes, half the olive oil, and most of the minced garlic in a bowl. Spread on a baking sheet cut side up and roast, about 45 minutes. Be careful not to let them dry out. In a food processor mix the herbs, cheese, and remaining garlic and oil until pretty fine. After the tomatoes are finished, immediately spread the herb paste on top, then mash everything with a spoon set it aside until you're ready.
Pasta: These are not my instructions, but the universal recipe for pasta-making everywhere. Make a mound/bowl shape with your flour on a clean wooden cutting board. Crack the eggs into the flour bowl. With a fork mix the eggs in the flour bowl until the eggs are broken. Incorporate more and more of the flour until you have a (pretty grainy) dough, kneading it with your hands after it gets too thick for the fork. Clean your board with a bench knife (or butter knife if like me you don't have a bench knife). Roll out the dough flat as thin as you possibly can with a rolling pin. Cut long one inch strips with your dough. Mark strips into 3 inch pieces, taking each piece and twirling it around a bamboo stick or just a wooden skewer and set aside. (Aside: I'm not sure what to call this pasta shape, as I misread instructions for strozzapreti) Boil water, add noodles with a generous pinch of salt until al dente.
Optional: put the sauce back in the oven while boiling the pasta to reheat it a bit. Mix together the pasta and roasted tomatoes and serve! Bon appetit!

One of the state of Florida's most exciting prospects is Jayron Hosley. Hosley, 5-10 and 170 pounds, is a four-star cornerback prospect from Del Ray Beach (Fla.) Atlantic High School that also makes plays on offense and special teams. In fact, he is one of the state's top kick returners. He already have five special team scores. Defensively, he has four interceptions.
"Returning kicks just comes natural to me," Holsey said. "I have played offense my entire life and that has helped me as a kick returner. A lot of it too is just an instinct thing. I hit the hole and run.
"I got better at cornerback too. I am jamming people better at the line of scrimmage and I play with better technique. It got a little frustrating this season because more teams were staying away from me."
Article Continues Below
Holsey may not have great size at the cornerback position but he plays bigger than 5-10.
"I am not that big but I can match up with anyone. I adjust to the size of the receiver but I also don't let it (size) intimidate me. After all, they are just another receiver. I man up and play my game."
Hosley is also a threat on offense. At times he plays (slot) receiver and even some running back.
"There are certain plays or certain times of a game where there are (offensive) plays for me. My coaches try and get me the ball out wide and let me do my thing."
Hosley has some good scholarship offers from teams like Georgia, South Florida, Louisville and Central Florida. So far he has one visit in the books. That visit was to Louisville.
"Right now I am starting to look at what schools I want to visit. It's the post season so it will happen soon. I think I want to visit USF, Michigan and Ohio State. I am not sure who else just yet.
"My coach is contacting FSU. I want to find out where I stand with them because we have been out of contact for a while.
"I went to the Florida game this past weekend and I talked with the coaches there. They need corners. We lost contact and I gave them my new cell. They say there still interested."
So who will it be in the end for Hosley?
"At the end my decision will be what's best for me. But I would lean toward a Florida school because I am a Florida guy. If not that's ok. I just want to play ball."
Atlantic is 10-0 on the season. They play Bayside in the first round of the playoffs this weekend.

Communication and Inventory as Substitutes in Organizing Production
A major organizational design decision for manufacturing firms is t he extent to which production should be to stock versus to order: inventories and communication with customers are substitutes. The authors show that profits are convex in the share of the market supplied from inventory. Thus, firms will tend to specialize in one mode of organization. The authors examine how this choice depends on market size, the level and variability of demand, the costs of communication, price levels, production costs, and the costs of expanding product lines. The results are consistent with observed patterns in several industries. Copyright 1988 by The editors of the Scandinavian Journal of Economics.
