Boulevard Brewing in Kansas City, Mo., makes some broad-shouldered ales. This one is in the style of a Belgian tripel, and it's a big one. It pours dark red amber with a high head and a super-malty nose full of aromas of dried fruit, specifically of figs. It positively paints the palate with malt sweetness, while the hop level is relatively moderate, only 22 International Bittering Units. The hops do come forward a little (even physically forward, toward the tip of the tongue). eventually drying up the long, sweet finish.
The name comes from a Hans Christian Andersen tale that involves Satan offering a man six successively stronger beers, and it's worth noting the alcohol level is 10.5%. A big dark ale like this can stand up to just about anything, but I'd try it with pork barbecue or macaroni and cheese, maybe apple pie.
Style: A rich, dark and just faintly sinister Belgian-style ale
Price: $3 to $3.50 per 12-ounce bottle, or $9 to $11 per 750-milliliter bottle
Where to find it: Total Wine stores, http://www.totalwine.com; Beverages and More stores, http://www.bevmo.com; Hi-Time Wine Cellars in Costa Mesa, (949) 650-8463, http://www.hitimewine.net.

Becky Christian is retiring as Kane teacher
Becky Christian can thank her husband's passion for the outdoors for leading her to Kane where she's had a 36-year teaching career.Because he enjoyed hunting and fishing, Christian applied for a teaching job in Kane after graduating from Thiel College in 1976.A native of Beaver near Pittsburgh, Christian said she had "never heard of Kane" before coming here for her first job interview after college graduation.She learned the "next day" that she had been offered the job of kindergarten teacher at the former Clay Street Elementary School in Kane.Christian began her teaching career in Kane in August 1976. She is retiring as a classroom teacher at the end of this week."One of my college professors knew my future husband loved to hunt and fish," Christian said. "She directed me to Kane."That particular Thiel professor was very familiar with Kane. She was the aunt of Judge John Cleland of Kane.Reflecting on her career, Christian said "the kids are the biggest reward for a teacher.""They're happy to be in school," she said. "Most are eager to learn."I like to teach kids how to learn. There are a lot of rewards when they're using what you've taught them. If they know how to access material, they'll be successful."Christian is the daughter of Guy and Jane Thigpen, who have lived in the same house in Beaver for 60 years. Her mother worked as the secretary at Beaver High School.In 1972, Christian graduated from Beaver High where she served as the yearbook editor and was a member of the National Honor Society.Christian has two brothers. Her late sister—Diane Thigpen—taught school in Kane for four years in the early 1980s.While at Thiel, Christian was a member of the college's "touring" choir.She graduated with honors from Thiel in 1976 with a degree in psychology and certification in elementary education.In 1979, she married her high school "sweetheart"—Fran Christian, who is a registered nurse at Warren State Hospital. Residents of Kane, they have three children—Rob, an Exxon project manager who is currently working in Russia; Sarah, who will be a senior at the University of Pittsburgh; and Tom, who is on track to graduate in 2014 from the University of Pittsburgh. The Christians have one grandson.During her teaching career in the Kane School District, Christian has taught kindergarten, first grade, fourth grade and fifth grade. She has taught at four different buildings. See full article by purchasing the June 4 edition of The Kane Republican.

Bonjour à tous,
It's excellent.
On 4.31, i tried Gimp, and i had to convert sfs file from version 3 to version 4.
Are all of them in squash version 3?
They are actually in version 3.x.... Most of them in 3.1, so they will not run in older puppies (such as 2.15)
This is what I love about Linux.... Always something new to learn. Anywho, gotta get to my job and i will be back later on to look for ways of solving these issues.

Here is a fairly simple way to compile other programs that makes them easily configurable as a RoxApp
run ./configure --help
you should see a list that includes --prefix= , --bindir= etc...
you will want to set all of these to /usr/local/apps/$MY_PROGRAM_NAME
here is an example:
CFLAGS=" -pipe -Os " CXXFLAGS=" -pipe -Os " LDFLAGS=" -Wl,-O2,-s " \
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/apps/abiword --bindir=/usr/local/apps/abiword \
--sysconfdir=/usr/local/apps/abiword --localstatedir=/usr/local/apps/abiword \
--libdir=/usr/local/apps/abiword ....<--more-options>
new2dir make install
(Then in /usr/local/apps/$MY_PROGRAM_NAME make a symlink for AppRun to the main executable and a symlink for .DirIcon to any image)
I only recommend this for programs -
not libraries
If you want to include additional libraries this way I would recommend first compiling the libraries with ./configure --enable-static --disable-shared before compiling your program (that way only the necessaryparts get included - sometimes only a couple of kb of a multi-MB library)
Check out my
github repositories
. I may eventually get around to updating my

You extract them from the .tar.gz archive, then you have an application directory. If you are using Rox filer (Puppy's default file manager) you simply click on the directory.... It is shown with the applications and other files because the AppRun script makes it an application and the .DirIcon will give it its unique icon.
The process is simple with these... just download, extract, and execute.... from anywhere. These were packaged with puppy 4.2.1 using binaries, mostly from the slackware repo and many from the ArtistX liveDVD. On puppy 4.3, I have heard the squashfs needs to be converted from version 3.1 to 4.x. On older puppies that use squash 3.0 or older, they will error out and will not run.
Keep in mind, that I had these roxapps working well on an old 400 MHz computer with 320 MB RAM,
but I was using a 1 GB swap partition
.... I tried using GIMP on a 2.6 GHz system with 512 MB ram and it kept crashing on me until I mounted a swap partition on a USB flash drive. If you do not have a swap partition and these apps keep crashing, try making a swap either on your hard drive or a flash drive.... Even an old 256 MB or 512MB flash drive might work. I can't be sure though, as I have only used 1 GB swaps. You can even repartition the flash drive so that only part of it is reserved as a swap partition. It would work best if you frugal your distro to, say, a 4 GB flash drive with one GB reserved for swap. make a boot cd (even a business card cd will work as you do not have to have the pup_xxx.sfs file on it) with the pmedia=usbflash hardcoded on it, and you can take your computer anywhere you go..... without having to lug a laptop around.
abush, looking at your error log, it seems to me that you need to convert the squashfs to a newer version. I will ask how to do that and post a howto on this.
dingo, did you try to edit the AppRun script with the changes I showed earlier? If so, were you able to get what you wanted?

If anyone here is interested, I also have ProducerPup available. It contains half of the apps I listed here and more. If you are planning to download GIMP, Blender, and Kdenlive, they are all included in ProducerPup as well as Audacity, Hydrogen, LMMS, and others. ProducerPup is based on Puppy 4.2.1, so the rest of these apps will work with it. You can find more information on ProducerPup by going to:

Tried uploading and using the sfs converter in Puppy 4.3.1
Bit more than that needed as it did not work
Next trick might be to rename them .sfs?
Anyway great to see them working for older versions
and perhaps ready made versions for 4.3.1 will be possible? - good luck and many thanks

Here's a way to convert the old SFS files to the new ones for use in the Roxapps.
Download and extract the tar file
Right click the app icon directory and choose "look inside"
Rename the XXX.roxfs to XXX.sfs
Open Menu >Utility>Convert sfs
Drag & drop XXX.sfs into Converter
Rename resulting "sfs4" to XXX.roxfs
Also, if this doesn't work within four hours, seek immediate medical attention

Thank you Abush... I have downloaded a copy of puppy 4.3.1 and will have to try this out to be sure of what is wrong.... Keep in mind, however that if there is any extraction of these squashfs files to a vfat partition, symlinks are not extracted and may be necessary.... I will run the program on 4.3 to check it out.

Therapy? are an alternative metal band from Northern Ireland. The band was formed in 1989 by guitarist–vocalist Andy Cairns from Ballyclare and drummer-vocalist Fyfe Ewing from Larne, Northern Ireland. The band initially recorded their first demo with Cairns filling in on bass guitar. To complete the lineup, the band recruited Larne bassist Michael McKeegan
With keen pop sensibilities, a skewed sense of humour and a willingness to draw inspiration from diverse sources (notably punk rock), Therapy? came to attention in the early 1990s rise of alternative rock, but have endured for two decades since; critic Johnny Loftus writes:
"after a ten-plus year career that has seen them outlast competitors and outwit industry attempts at categorization… Therapy are still headbangers with their thinking caps screwed on tight."
Although now vanished from the charts and wide media attention, Therapy? continue to release material, gaining enough attention to enable them to tour and entertain a loyal following. Following the addition of Neil Cooper on drums, the band has enjoyed a stable lineup since 2004. Therapy? are currently signed to Blast Records, with worldwide distribution via Global Music. The band has sold over two million albums worldwide.

I have the pleasure to present to you all the very first interview of the Runway Perfect Hunt edition 3 with the designers. This first lady, was in the 2nd edition also, i am sure you will remember her from the gorgeous nails she offered! Adorable, fun, energetic and sweet, now is time for you to enter in her world and get to know better TRPH3 #30 – Kathrin Dassin of Moondance.
Hello Kathrin! Thanks for taking the time out to speak with us.
Morgane Batista: What inspires you the most to design? Whether it is bright colors, nature, patterns, etc.
Kathrin Dassin: I think it had alot to do with watching other people creating items for others in SL, and not finding something that fit me and what i was looking for.
MB: Name your favorite piece that you have made and the story behind it's creation!
KD: I would have to say my saffron swirls 3d set. Which does have a story behind it. I created it while i was actually getting my RL wedding set up, and looking for a invitation that i could do. Well as i was doing the texture, I decided to use the texture for my wedding invite. And so my wedding invite, and my thank you cards, as well as my response cards ended up with that design, and i ended up wearing it in real life as well.
MB: Are there designers in real or SL (or both!) that you idolize?
KD: Yes there are, Spooky Mistwallow, owner of Kastlerock Couture, and Belle Roussel from Chop Zuey
MB: What's next for the Moondance Boutique? (Any sneak peeks at potential nail sets?)
KD: Of course new nail set sand yes actually i can give you a sneak peek at a new nail that i'm working on, this nail is based on my favorite Anime of all time, Sailor Moon. This is being 100% hand drawn in photoshop and it is very intricate.
MB: If you could design any other thing in SL, what would it be? (Clothes, cars, houses, etc.)
KD: I think Jewelry, but not with the nails
MB: Describe your design aesthetic in 3 words.
KD: Unique, bold, classic
MB: How did you choose the name of your brand?
KD: I was doing belly dancing in the house one day and well the way they move their fingers looks so much more beautiful with nails on it, and one day i saw a bellydancer in front of the moon and that's how i came up with the brand name
MB: When you came into Secondlife, did you know you wanted to be a designer?
KD: No I didn't haha
MB: What are your other hobbies in Secondlife?
KD: I enjoy Roleplay, and taking pictures of myself, my husband and friends. And now styling outfits. I've started to find it very fun if frustration
Thanks for sitting down to talk with us!
To visit her store: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Precious%20Breedables/101/20/22
Personally i would like to offer a huge thank you to my personal assistant Angexx Quandry who made this beautiful interview with Kathrin, for me while i was extremly busy, love you tons.
Look out for the next interview coming soon!

Staying busy and active during the summer months isn't a hard thing to do.
There are plenty of activities to participate in - including basketball.
However, not everybody is happy about those who choose to play basketball in the street.
Flint Police say they've gotten complaints about people blocking traffic while playing basketball in the street. Others have left hoops in the street.
Police say doing either of those things will lead to fines.
"While we encourage kids to be outdoors, participating in exercise and fun with friends, there is a city ordinance against this activity in the street," the police force said in a Facebook post. "Please move any hoops you own onto your property to ensure that it is not removed by city personnel, to avoid potential fines and to keep kids out of harms way of vehicular traffic."
Violators face a $25 fine for their first offense and a doubled fine for each subsequent offense.
Should adults and kids be fined for playing basketball in the street?
Let us know in the poll below.

It's finally here. After weeks and weeks of anticipation, the 2012 World Series of Poker is once again in full swing. For the 13th year in a row, the WSOP opened with the $500 Casino Employees Event, which attracted 732 runners, creating a prize pool of $329,400. On Monday, Chiab "Chip" Saechao emerged victorious, and became the first bracelet winner of 2012.
While Saechao was battling at the final table, all eyes were on the first open event of the 2012 WSOP; Event 2: $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em. Dozens of familiar faces were spread over three rooms in the Rio All-Suite Hotel and Casino, but there was one player sitting in the Tan section of the Amazon Room who drew everybody's attention.
1. Phil Ivey is back
One year ago, during the $25,000 Heads-Up Championship, Phil Ivey shocked the world. He announced through his Facebook account that he was going to boycott the 2011 WSOP, and that he had filed a lawsuit against Tiltware.
I am deeply disappointed and embarrassed that Full Tilt players have not been paid money they are owed. I am equally embarrassed that as a result many players cannot compete in tournaments and have suffered economic harm.
I am not playing in the World Series of Poker as I do not believe it is fair that I compete when others cannot. I am doing everything I can to seek a solution to the problem as quickly as possible.
The news was jaw dropping to say the least. One of the most popular players in the game (and arguably the best player in the game) wasn't going to play in the biggest and most important tournament series in the world. Rumors swirled about where Ivey actually was during the summer. A few reliable individuals said that he was in Ireland at some point, attempting to single-handedly broker a deal between Tiltware and potential buyers. If this is true, his attempts were obviously unsuccessful — we're still waiting for someone to purchase FTP's assets and finally pay the players.
The WSOP moved on without Ivey, and it took a week or two, but we finally let go of the issue, until the Main Event arrived.
Ivey owns the Main Event. He's finished 23rd or higher four times in the last decade, including a 10th-place finish in 2003 ($82,700), and a seventh-place in 2009 ($1,404,014). Assuming that Ivey has played the Main Event every year since turning 21 in 1997, his ROI is over 1200%. Despite these mind-blowing numbers however, Ivey did not enter the 2011 Main Event.
When the WSOP concluded, Ivey was still nowhere to be found, until the 2011 PokerStars.net APPT Macau rolled around in November. He entered quietly, and he busted quietly, but his return sparked an argument within the poker community — by playing this event, was Phil Ivey being true to his word?
APPT Macau was not a WSOP-sponsored event, but Ivey was still playing when "others cannot," and some people took offense to this. It's nearly impossible to blame him for both FTP and Groupe Bernard Tapie's mistakes however. GBT had an opportunity to end this mess and resurrect FTP, but their plan was allegedly flawed, and the Department of Justice would not accept it. Ivey is one of the two or three most well-known Team FTP players however, so it's easy to deflect blame to him rather than some suit we've never seen before.
Following APPT Macau, Ivey made appearances at the Aussie Millions, the L.A. Poker Classic, and the PokerStars and Monte-Carlo® Casino EPT Grand Final. It was clear that he would return to the WSOP in 2012, but for how many events? During the 25K Fantasy auction draft on Saturday, PokerNews' Remko Rinkema asked Daniel Negreanu about Ivey, and how many events he'd be playing. Negreanu didn't give a direct answer, but he did tell Rinkema that he and Ivey were willing to bet anyone that one of them would win a bracelet in 2012. He also said that they had already booked some big action.
Even still, when Ivey sat down in the Tan section of the Amazon Room yesterday for Event #2, I was more excited than I should've been. He's back. The most feared poker player in the world is back. The eight-time bracelet winner (watch your heels, Phil Hellmuth) is back. The man who's number three on the all-time money list is back.
Phil Ivey is back, and he returned to play a measly $1,500 no-limit hold'em tournament. That smells like a large schedule to me.
2. Auction Recap
The folks over at QuadJacks did a nice job covering Negreanu's 25K Fantasy auction on Saturday. Some of the participants did a nice job as well, while others made a few costly mistakes. For starters, both Team Sorel Mizzi and Team Robert Mizrachi still have money to spend. Mizzi and Mizrachi saved $7 and $9 respectively, and unfortunately the money doesn't carry over to next year. Instead of drafting Alex Kuzmin, who went for an ungodly $23, Mizzi could've possibly picked up George Lind III who went for $30. And, instead of spending $7 on Mike Matusow, Mizrachi could've spent some of his savings and snagged Michael Binger who only went for $10.
Both Team Brian Hastings and Team Daniel Negreanu had the right strategy going into the action — spend most of your money on two great players, and fill out the rest of your team with cheaper players with a lot of upside. Unfortunately, both Negreanu and Hastings filled their teams with too many players who can only play hold'em at an elite level, limiting the amount of volume they can put in. Also, Alexander Kostritsyn just had a child, so he may miss the WSOP in its entirety. At a glance, my favorite teams are Team Jason Mercier and Team Eugene Katchalov. They're both filled with guys who can play every game, including hidden gems like Chris Genius28 Lee ($1), John D'Agostino ($5), and Abe Mosseri ($3). I'd be willing to take 4:1 that one of those two teams ends up winning to the top prize of over $100,000
3. Casey Jarzabek vs. John Kim
On Monday, during the first few levels of Event #2, John Kim caused a stir when he tweeted the following about Casey "bigdogpckt5s" Jarzabek:
NicolakPoker John Kim
Wth, following a notable on twitter, he's on my table, he busts by playing A6 horribly then tweets he busted QQ<AA #keepthebackershappy May 29, 2012
NicolakPoker John Kim
Somewhat in his defense he lost a small pot to AA couple hands before so maybe he had QQ there but lost most of his chips and busted w A6 May 29, 2012
NicolakPoker John Kim
Actually no, it was a Q9488 board and he mucked after guy showed so he didn't even have QQ that hand #straightliar May 29, 2012
NicolakPoker John Kim
For those tweeting at me, already outed him, it's bigdogpckt5s or whatever, Casey Jarzabek; lady that busted him willing to verify hand May 29, 2012
I contacted Jarzabek, and he informed me that Kim's reporting of the "QQ<AA" hand was incorrect.
"The board was K88xx, and the king saved me from going broke," he told me. "I also don't take backing or sell pieces on TwoPlusTwo. The aces to queens hand wasn't my actual bust out hand, but I considered it my bust out because it was for most of my chips. I guess it was misleading, but it wasn't my intention. I essentially busted when I lost 1,500 to 1,200 chips with the nut flush draw."
He later made light of the situation, tweeting this:
bigdogpckt5s casey jarzabek
Most accurate bust out hands all summer long coming lol. #itsinthedetails May 29, 2012
Jarzabek has only posted on TwoPlusTwo six times, and his last activity came on Nov. 18, 2011. So, unless he posts under another alias, he doesn't have any shares listed in the marketplace.
There was an issue with Owais Ahmed in April when he allegedly lied about a hand from the World Poker Tour Hollywood Poker Open Main Event. Ahmed said that he busted with aces against king-queen, while another poster said it was against a set of deuces. Ahmed refutes this claim. This situation is different, because Ahmed is reporting his bust out hand directly to players who have invested in him, whereas Jarzabek simply tweeted the results. Had Jarzabeck had his own thread in TwoPlusTwo and (allegedly) misreported his hand, then that's a bigger issue.
The Kim vs. Jarzabek drama may never be solved — it's a simple case of he said, she said — and unfortunately for Jarzabek (if he's telling the truth) he won't shake this for a few weeks, because everybody knows that the poker community loves a good witch hunt.
4. Brutal commentating?
During the $100,000 World Poker Tour World Championship final table, commentators Tony Dunst, Dan O'Brien, and Olivier Busquet were brutally honest — as they always are. They were unafraid to pick apart the players at the table, including the eventual winner Tom Marchese, and some players took offense to this.
Frank1The1Tank Frank Calo
@olivierbusquet @Bond_18 Commentary was great yday but don't you think you were a bit harsh laughing at juanda/robl? May 27, 2012
realcharder30 Christian Harder
I am rooting for @BigCheese_poker but I am sort of cringing at this coverage. I like all the guys in the booth a lot too, just dislike this. May 26, 2012
JBrikis Josh Brikis
@realcharder30 agree can't stand the bashing everyone knows everything & is better than everyone,I can't imagine how hard they would bash me May 26, 2012
The best players in the world don't always take the standard line — if they did, then they wouldn't be special — but is it OK to chastise them when they stray from norm? Well, there's a fine line between mixing it up and making mistakes. Any player can go back and say that they were trying to be creative by taking an unorthodox line, when really they were just spewing.
However, you have to give credit where credit is due. Dunst, O'Brien, and Busquet were especially crushing Juanda, but all he does is win. Since 2004, Juanda has had five, million-dollar years, including 2008 where he won over $2.4 million. He may not always do what's "standard," but his results speak for themselves. And isn't that what's great about poker? Obviously there are situations where math-based thinking trumps "feel" entirely, but there are also times where creativity and heart can separate great players from good ones.
Commentators should be critical, and they should speak openly about how they feel and what they would do if they were at the table, but there are times when you have to give the players the benefit of the doubt. This is true especially for a player like Juanda, who has over $12 million in career tournament earnings.
5. Hellmuth loses a crown
Kristy Arnett caught up with Phil Hellmuth during Event 2 on Monday, and apparently the Poker Brat needs to head to the dentist.

Lou Donaldson
Lou Donaldson does attempt to loosen up a bit with Mr. Shing-A-Ling, but the whole affair is a bit stilted. Not quite the full-fledged electric funk workout that was becoming commonplace for old-guard soul-jazz musicians in the late '60s, but not quite the bop-inflected soul-jazz of the early '60s either, Mr. Shing-A-Ling falls into a netherworld that won't quite connect either with jazz purists or fans of grooving jazz-funk. That said, when the quintet settles into a mid-tempo vamp, Donaldson, trumpeter Blue Mitchell and organist Lonnie Smith do spin out some good solos that are worth hearing. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Doumit delivers in 9th as Twins edge M's
Minneapolis, MN – Ryan Doumit delivered a game-winning two- run triple off Seattle closer Tom Wilhelmsen in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Minnesota Twins got past the Mariners, 5-4, to knot this three-game series at a game apiece.
With Seattle leading 4-2, Wilhelmsen (0-1) took over in the ninth and walked the bases loaded before Josh Willingham brought the Twins within a run with a sacrifice fly to deep left field. Doumit then came up to bat and smacked a liner to right-center field, plating the decisive runs.
"I was looking for one spot and a pitch I could drive, and I got it," Doumit said of the hit.
Doumit had three hits and finished a home run shy of the cycle for Minnesota, which won for a fifth time in six games.
Caleb Thielbar (1-0) pitched a scoreless ninth to earn his first-career win.
Jason Bay homered twice for Seattle, which had won four of six coming in.
Bay and Kyle Seager hit back-to-back homers in the first inning, providing Aaron Harang with some early run support. Bay took Twins starter Kevin Correia deep to left field while Seager lined a 1-0 offering into the stands in right.
The Twins broke through in the bottom of the second despite not registering a hit. Chris Parmelee walked and advanced to second on a Brendan Ryan fielding error. Parmelee reached third when Brian Dozier flied out to center and scored one batter later when Aaron Hicks grounded to Harang, whose throw home went over the head of Doumit. Harang fanned Pedro Florimon and Eduardo Escobar to avoid further trouble.
Minnesota threatened again with consecutive singles and no outs in the fourth, but Dozier's sacrifice bunt attempt was unsuccessful for the first out. Hicks then popped to center, and Florimon went down swinging.
Dozier knotted the score in the home half of the sixth when he smacked a sharp grounder past a diving Ryan at shortstop, plating Doumit, but Seattle responded and regained the lead with two outs in the top of the seventh.
Bay went deep for the second time off Correia, who then let Seager reach on a single, prompting Minnesota to go to its bullpen. Brian Duensing took the hill but was unable to weather the storm, giving up singles to Kendrys Morales and Raul Ibanez. Seager scored to give the visitors a 4-2 edge.
Game Notes
Harang surrendered just two runs -- one earned -- on four hits in six innings ... Correia was charged with all four runs on seven hits in 6 2/3 innings ... The Twins hit just 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position and left 10 men on base.

Awesome news & pick-up for the good guys..Welcome to The Crimson Tide Family Christian..It always great to keep the "Pie-Line" to Hoover open & running cause there's a ton of talent there year in & year out..
Here's a link to his commitment from AL.com..CLICK ME
"He has a lot of respect from a lot of people around here because he's earned it and not because of what's been given to him," Niblett said. "The sky is the limit for him and that's what makes him so special. The physical ability he has to have the length that he has and do what he can do at defensive end and be a guy that if you have zone blitzes and have to drop in space and be able to make plays and not just drop in space and take up space. He runs well and understands leverage and I'm excited for him and I think Alabama is getting a great player that I think fits really well in the scheme that they run."
Welcome and Roll Tide, Christian we're glad to have you at Bama!
Love it when the in state kids get an opportunity like this!! Good to have Christian on board.

Working from her home in Sag Harbor, a local cafe, in her neighbors' living room, or even on a street in the village, Christa Schleicher, an executive wellness coach with Isagenix International, says she's made six figures a year for six consecutive years.
Isagenix is a 10-year-old company that markets dietary supplements and personal-care products to a growing number of people to help them live "healthier lives in an unhealthy environment." Its associates, as they are called when they first join, rise through the ranks to become consultants, managers, directors, executives, and on up, with bonuses in cash, commissions, and free products for enrolling others in the program. As consultants build their own sales teams they get a percentage of commissions from those below them on the ladder.
Ms. Schleicher said she ranks among the company's top 50 employees and got there by being a "coach who cares." Working with individuals, groups, and as a lecturer at conferences, showing people how to use Isagenix products to help them feel and look better, she often conducts "tastings" at an associate's home or public space. To help new associates make money, she said, she starts by asking what their goals are, physically and financially. "Whatever you want to make, I'll help you get there," she said one day last week at the Sag Harbor Golden Pear, with a cup of tea and a large day-planner completely filled with to-dos in front of her.
Married with two children, a high-schooler and a middle-schooler, Ms. Schleicher's background and experience is in sports performance training and weight loss. At the University of Delaware, where she earned a degree in exercise physiology, she was captain of the college's Division 1 field hockey team. In addition to her work with Isagenix, she is a personal trainer, certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine.
A nine-day cleanse is the mainstay of the Isagenix program, with two cleanse days, five shake days, and then two more shake days. A cleanse day consists of small, specific snacks and consumption of a detox drink. A shake day consists of two meal-replacement protein-liquid shakes (they come in Dutch Chocolate and French Vanilla), as well as a small meal and snacks. A 30-day program with more dietary flexibility and only one cleanse a day is offered as well.
To make money from the business, an associate needs to spend about $140 to $150 a month for Isagenix products — about the same as "a night at World Pie," said Ms. Schleicher. A wide assortment of products are available, with new ones added every year. Altogether, it costs about $1,400 a year to run one's own Isagenix business, including a personal Web site, she said. "Where else do you find that?"
There are those who disparage network marketing, where the guy at the top makes all the money, Ms. Schleicher said. Her response is that corporate America is a pyramid, where a C.E.O. may make $800,000 while workers make $8 an hour. Pyramid schemes, she noted, have been illegal since 1979. Isagenix has been around since 2002 and she has been with it since 2007, and, she said, "Nobody is capping my income," or that of those below her either.
She and her sister, Jen Smith of Westhampton, did extensive research on other network marketing companies before signing up, she said, and found no compensation plan that could compare. Any financial person who studied it would find nothing wrong, she said, adding that they might even want to get involved.
With a "homegrown" approach, person-to-person, Ms. Schleicher and Ms. Smith now have their own training program and pay an administrator $80,000 a year to help their teams. Her sister is in the company's top 25 earners, she said, having made $500,000 her first year and now maintaining about $350,000 a year, with less effort. "It is remarkable what Jen and I have accomplished," Ms. Schleicher said.
Cindy Tuma of North Haven is one of her happy customers. "I haven't felt this good in years," Ms. Tuma wrote in a message to The Star on Friday. "Christa is an awesome trainer," she said, expressing gratitude for the support that helped her lose over 30 pounds in four months and crediting the cleanse for ridding her of cravings for junk food and sugar. Ms. Tuma said she drinks a shake in the morning, has a bar for lunch, and has "a nice healthy dinner." One cleanse a day helps keep her on track.
There are certainly those who will simply use the products and not become associates, Ms. Schleicher acknowledged. They stick around because of the results they attain — weight loss, increased energy, or simply how they feel about themselves, she said. Others make a few hundred dollars a month, just enough to pay for the products they use, and they are happy with that. But for those who like to teach or share their accomplishments, she said, "the world becomes a golden opportunity."
Isagenix people come in all ages, shapes, and sizes. Ms. Schleicher said the company's number-one earner is 81 years old and earns $2 million a year, equal to what he made in 40 years as a butcher.
To prepare for an influx of new cleansers in the new year, Ms. Schleicher and Ms. Smith have planned a "group cleanse" starting on Jan. 14. It will include 24/7 online support via Facebook as well as a daily conference call for those who wish to join. Her Web site, nutritionalrebalancing.com, has the details, along with "plenty of support."

Pigment PY4 is a bright greenish yellow.
Discovered by Wagner in 1909, Pigment PY4 is a member of the Hansa Yellow family of pigments.

Lithopone is a low tinting strength, semi-transparent white pigment that is often used as a filler or extender in other colors, or as the base for laked pigments.
Lithopone is absolutely permanent and lightfast.
Lithopone is not toxic.
Lithopone was discovered by G.F. de Doubet in 1850. It was developed commercially in the 1870s as a substitute or supplement for lead carbonate, to overcome the many shortcomings of white lead pigment, including toxicity, poor weathering, and darkening in the presence of sulfur compounds. It is used most often in interior paints and enamels. Its use as a white pigment has been superceeded in many applications by titanium dioxide.

polychlorinated copper(II) phthalocyanine

Phthalo Green is a transparent, cool, bright, high intensity color used in oil and acrylics. It comes from a Phthalocyanine Blue pigment where most of the hydrogen atoms have been replaced with chlorine, forming highly stable molecules. It has similar pigment properties and permanence to Phthalo Blue. It is slow drying and an excellent base color for mixing a range of bright greens. Phthalo Green is considered a very good alternative to Viridian because it is intense and mixes well and can be used to emphasize mineral colors in various tints. However, its tinting strength is very high, so it can overpower other colors. This pigment most closely resembles the discontinued and toxic Verdigris.
Phthalo Greens are completely lightfast and resistant to alkali, acids, solvents, heat, and ultraviolet radiation. They are currently used in inks, coatings, and many plastics due to their stability and are considered a standard pigment in printing ink and the packaging industry.
Phthalo Green has no significant hazards, but it contained PCBs (polychlorinated biphenyls) until 1982.
This bright blue-green was developed in 1935 and has been in use since 1938.

titanium dioxide
Titanium White is the most brilliant of the white pigments. It is considered an all purpose oil color useful in all techniques and the best all around white. Its masstone is neither warm nor cool, placing it somewhere between Lead White and Zinc White. It is less prone to cracking and yellowing than Lead White, but it still yellows easily. Titanium White dries slowly in oil form, more slowly than Lead White but more quickly than Zinc White. It is opaque in oil and acrylic forms and semi-opaque in watercolor form. This pigment has good chemical stability, and its tinting strength is superior to both Lead White and Zinc White.
Titanium White has excellent permanence and lightfastness.
Titanium dioxide is highly stable and is regarded as completely non-toxic. Animal studies give no indiciation that it is absorbed biologically, even after long periods of exposure. The primary safety concern is with inhalation of fine pigment dust particles. Titanium White, if inhaled in large amounts over the course of several years, may cause a benign pneumoconiosis that is visible on x-rays. The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) considers fine titanium dioxide particles, if inhaled, to be a human carcinogen. The primary concern for artists is to avoid exposure to fine particulate dust from raw pigments.
Titanium is the ninth most abundant element in the Earth's crust, however mineral deposits that are economical to mine are less common. Titanium dioxide was first discovered in 1821, although it could not be mass produced until 1919. Widespread use of the pigment began in the 1940s. Since that time, it has become the most commonly used white pigment. The name comes from the Latin word Titan, the name for the elder brother of Kronos and ancestor of the Titans, and from the Greek word tito, meaning day or sun.

More bad news from the business sector this week, as reports are starting to come in that Big Dog Motorcycles has shut its doors after being taken over by the company's creditors. With the banks halting the production line, this is effectively the end of one of the largest (if not the largest) custom motorcycle builders in the world. Cyril Huze broke the news on his blog on Monday that the company had closed its doors, but Big Dog President Mike Simmons denied that news on Monday.
However Big Dog dealers have since confirmed that company owner Sheldon Coleman has contacted them, informing them of the bank's take over, and that the business and production would be ceasing. Coleman is reportedly planning on starting a new company that would supply parts to current Big Dog owners.
