Different sports exert different stresses on your body and
consequently your breasts. Many sports bra manufacturers have
picked up on this and categorize their bra line by sports
impact levels. The least impact, such as weight training,
requires some support, while sports like volleyball require
significant support. When choosing a sports bra, consider the
activity. It is very possible that you will need a wardrobe
of sports bras depending on the number of sports you
participate in. Breast size also plays a part. Larger
breasts are going to need more support. Therefore, the proper
sports bra is going to give the necessary support to control
breast motion and reduce the bounce force in each activity.
To assist in evaluating your activities in terms of impact, we
have grouped various sports into breast impact levels,
beginning with the lowest and working up to the most
(Note: several of these sports can be more stressful depending on your level of playing intensity)

TACOMA, Wash. -- A Tacoma police officer responding to a domestic violence call was killed after being shot several times Wednesday night. The suspect was shot and killed by police early Thursday morning after a nearly 12-hour standoff in which police say he used two children as human shields.
SWAT officers rescued the children -- a 6-year-old boy and 8-year-old girl (initial reports were ages 8 and 11) -- who were inside the home near East E Street and E. 52nd Street. Police believe they were not hurt but were taken to the hospital as a precaution. It's not clear Thursday morning what their relationship was to the suspect.
The officer was identified Thursday afternoon as Officer Reginald "Jake" Gutierrez.
"One thing I am witnessing over the past evening and day is this outpouring of support from our entire community," said Mayor Marilyn Strickland. "We love our police officers, and we know that every day when they go to work, there's a chance they may not come home. And unfortunately, that happened last evening."
Police chief Don Ramsdell fought back his emotions as he thanked the community for their support and spoke about Gutierrez, who was 45 and a veteran of the department since 1999.
"He's a model police officer. He's highly dedicated to his profession. He's highly dedicated to his community. And he demonstrated that every day that he came to work," said Ramsdell.
Two vigils were planned for Thursday night, both of which drew support from hundreds of people.
Officer Gutierrez's body was escorted from the Pierce County Medical Examiner's Office to the Tuell-McKee Funeral Home on Friday by numerous members of law enforcement from throughout the region.

The union representing officers in the Tacoma Police Department set up a fund to support Officer Gutierrez's family. Donations can be made at any Wells Fargo Bank branch to the "Officer Jake Gutierrez Memorial Fund," or online at tpcrimestoppers.com.
The union's president is encouraging donors to use this fund because he said there were reports of fake online accounts Thursday afternoon.
What happened
It began around 4 p.m. Wednesday. Ramsdell said animal control officers were called to a home for a report of an injured dog. They came across the suspect's wife, who had been locked out of the home. Animal control then called for backup from Tacoma police and Gutierrez responded along with his partner.
The two officers entered the home with the help of the homeowner, Ramsdell said. Gutierrez and his partner went upstairs, which is where Gutierrez was shot multiple times. His partner returned fire then helped get the suspect's wife out of the house.
Gutierrez was transported to Tacoma General Hospital for surgery. Police announced his death around 9 p.m.
SWAT moved into the home around 3:30 a.m., but it was a Pierce County sheriff's deputy outside the home who shot and killed the suspect through a bedroom window, police say.
"We negotiated through the night. Negotiations failed. We went in. Took one of the kids when we had a chance and (the suspect) grabbed the other kid. One of our officers felt he had a shot. He took it," said Det. Ed Troyer, Pierce County Sheriff's Department spokesman.
Ramsdell later said one child was rescued from the porch. The other was rescued after SWAT confronted the suspect.
The suspect was later identified as 38-year-old Bruce R. Johnson, II.
Kristi Croskey said she was in the home at the time of the shooting to retrieve some items she had left there. Croskey, who moved out of the home about seven months ago, said she knew the Johnson and his wife and didn't know of any problems in the relationship.
"I'm caught off guard just like everybody else," Croskey said.
VIDEO: Procession for officer killed in the line of duty
Sgt. Jim Barrett, Tacoma Police Union president, said the incident highlighted why violence against law enforcement cannot be tolerated.
"We choose this profession to try and make a difference. We sign up to help those in need," Barrett said. "In his career, this officer did just that. He made a difference in the lives of those he came in contact with. He may be gone, but he will never be forgotten."
About a hundred people came to honor Gutierrez during a procession that left the hospital and went to the medical examiner's office. There was also a large police presence at Tacoma General Hospital, and a chaplain arrived several hours after Gutierrez was transported for surgery.

The shooting had an eerie sense of familiarity for some. Tuesday marked the seventh anniversary of the shooting that killed four Lakewood police officers in a coffee shop.
Retired Lakewood Police chief Bret Farrar said he hopes the community will be as supportive to Tacoma Police as they were after the Lakewood shooting. Farrar said the public's outpouring of support really helped his department heal.
"People wouldn't say anything, just shook our hands or give us a hug. It helped," Farrar said.
Photos: Tacoma officer killed in the line of duty
Dozens of law enforcement agencies and public figures shared condolences for the Tacoma Police Department. King County Sheriff John Urquhart ordered all Sheriff's Deputies to wear mourning bands in honor of the fallen officer.
Gov. Jay Inslee said in a statement that the officer's death was a reminder of the sacrifice law enforcement makes every day.
"All of Washington grieves with Tacoma, which tonight lost one of their finest," Inslee said.
The governor visited Tacoma police headquarters Thursday where a memorial has been growing.

Tyler brings up a really good point here. It's really interesting choice to ponder, and something that I know a lot of writers wrestle with. There are plenty of albums that I've had to write about (beyond RARB! just so you guys don't go back and re-read my archives ;) that I've given a positive review to because I can find in it (and describe) the qualities that I know a lot of people will like, even if it's not something that i necessarily like or would listen to myself. I'd be interested in other thoughts on this from other readers' perspectives-- how do you use music reviews, here on RARB or elsewhere? do you read reviews as buyers' guides or as opinion pieces? &c.

For the Colorado men's basketball program, the post-Andre Roberson era began the instant that the 6-foot-7 junior forward informed the school Sunday afternoon that he will give up his final year of eligibility and declare for the 2013 NBA draft.
Fittingly, CU coach Tad Boyle has been on the road recruiting.
"Whether or not we had Andre back, recruiting is a never-ending process," Boyle said. "You always have to be looking ahead.
"But, as a coach, it's tougher to plan when you don't know if you're going to lose a player early."
Although Boyle and CU athletic director Mike Bohn flew to San Antonio during spring break to discuss Roberson's options with Roberson and at his parent's home, Boyle had said there would be no hard feelings if Roberson decided to opt out of his senior season.On Sunday, Boyle still sounded that way.
"It doesn't come as a surprise," Boyle said of Roberson's decision. "I'm not sure if it would have been a surprise either way. We knew this was a possibility back in the fall. At the end of the day, Andre had to make a decision that was best for him and his family. And we support that decision.
"I will say this," Boyle added, "as the Colorado basketball coach, I don't agree with the decision (based on projections that Roberson is unlikely to be drafted in the first round). But there's a distinct difference in agreeing or disagreeing with a decision and supporting a decision. That's where I am with Andre. I support Andre, and I support his dream."
Roberson has declined interview requests during his decision-making process, and Sunday, following his announcement, Roberson informed the CU sports information office that he would not speak to the media.
He did release a statement Sunday night through the school:
"After much consideration and counsel from my family and Coach Boyle, I have decided to forego my senior season and enter the NBA draft. I am proud to have been a member of Colorado Basketball and want to thank Coach Boyle and his staff, the administration, the fans, and the University for this incredible experience.
"It has been an honor and privilege to make Buffalo history with my fellow teammates over the past three seasons. Additionally, I want to express my appreciation to my friends and family for all their support during this process. I look forward to continued development as I embark upon the next steps in my journey of fulfilling my dream of playing in the NBA."
A two-time, first-team all-Pac-12 selection, Roberson also was voted conference defensive player of the year for 2012-13 by the league's coaches. He led the Pac-12 in rebounding (11.2 per game), ranking second nationally in that category.
Roberson's shooting and overall offensive game have not yet caught up with his rebounding and defensive skill set. He ranked third on the team in scoring (10.9 points per game) for 2012-13 and posted career lows of 48 percent from the field, 32.8 percent on 3-pointers and 55.1 percent on free throws.
Boyle had said that Roberson will improve his game during the coming year and it was only a matter of where Roberson wanted to do that — at Colorado, or at some level of professional basketball, which could include the NBA's Developmental League or playing in Europe if Roberson fails to earn a spot on an NBA roster.
On Friday, Roberson delayed a planned news conference where he was scheduled to announce his decision. Ultimately, Roberson decided to gamble on the NBA and evidently attempt to prove analysts wrong. Most projections have him being drafted no earlier than late in the second round of the June 27 draft, which is only two rounds.
Only first-round draft picks are automatically given a guaranteed contract. However, NBA teams have the option of negotiating deals with guaranteed money to second-round draft picks.
"Time will tell (whether Roberson's decision proves wise)," Boyle said.
Colorado, 21-12 in 2012-13 and reaching the NCAA Tournament in back-to-back seasons for the first time in five decades, has been listed as high as No. 11 (Sports Illustrated) in early preseason top-25 projections. With Roberson's departure, Colorado may drop in preseason rankings, but Boyle said he is confident the Buffs will be formidable again in 2013-14.
Xavier Johnson, a rising, 6-6 sophomore forward, is ready to become a go-to scorer after earning a starting job late in his rookie season. Also, two redshirt-freshman forwards — 6-8 Wesley Gordon of Colorado Springs and 6-7 Chris Jenkins of Detroit — are excited to play this fall after practicing with the team all of last season. And one of three highly touted incoming freshmen is a forward: 6-7 Dustin Thomas of Pleasant Grove High School in Texarkana, Texas.
"Obviously, we would be a better team with Andre than without him," Boyle said Sunday after Roberson's announcement. "But this program, with all the young players coming into the program, is in as good a shape as maybe it's ever been.
"We can't replace Andre's experience," Boyle explained. "We can replace his talent. And maybe we can replace his rebounds 'by committee.' We'll move on, and we'll be talented. I'm excited about our future."
Boyle said he is not sure whether Colorado will use the scholarship made available with Roberson's departure on a player this spring (which Boyle had said most likely would be a transfer from a four-year college if one was worthy) or bank it for the 2013-14 recruiting cycle that focuses on current high school juniors.
"We're always on the lookout," Boyle said.

Milled with the utmost care, Fragonard professional oils specifically utilize mono-pigments, a single pigment per color, wherever possible. This allows the artist the widest range of color mixing potential, retaining hue purity and intensity.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
organic synthetic, quinacridone
Quinacridone Red is a high performance, transparent pigment with an average drying time and uneven dispersal. It is another name for Quinacridone Violet (PV19) and Quinacridone Red (PR192). Quinacridone pigments have relatively low tinting strength in general. For this reason, quinacridone colors are often expensive, because more pigment is required in the formulation.
Quinacridone Violet has excellent lightfastness and is considered the most lightfast organic pigment in this shade range.
Quinacridone Violet has no known acute hazards. Overexposure to quinacridone pigments may cause skin irritation. Quinicridone pigments contain a compound found to be a skin, eye, and respiratory irritant.
Although quinacridone compounds became known in the late 19th century, methods of manufacturing so as to make them practical for use as commercial pigments did not begin until the 1950s. Quinacridone pigments were first developed as coatings for the automotive industry, but were quickly adopted by artists.

Or a Borg, or a Dalek, or some kind of Web scraping robot. So when the company says that bot traffic is on the rise, there might be reason for Web publishers, advertisers and e-commerce companies to worry. The company, which delivers text ads that take the place of those annoying Captcha security tools (where you have to type an illegible word to prove you're not a robot), has released its latest Bot Traffic Market Advisory. The numbers are troubling. According to Solve, the amount of "suspicious activity" on the websites it tracks jumped from 26 percent in Q3 2012 to 40 percent in Q4. At least a quarter of that suspicious activity is from bots, per Solve's data, which is pulled from the 6,000 or so publishers that employ its Type-In technology to prove their users are indeed human. What do these increases mean? One effect: Potentially more advertisers are paying to reach people that aren't truly people. According to Solve, bot traffic cost marketers between $1 billion and $2 billion in display advertising in Q4. That theoretically drives up ad rates and drives down the effectiveness of ad campaigns—while also leaving publishers vulnerable to fraud, content theft and spam. Naturally, Solve has reason to tout such data. The company claims its tools and products can help publishers against bot-driven traffic. But they're not the only ones talking up the robot scourge. Many publishers, advertisers and researchers including comScore have warned about a massive surge in nonhuman traffic, particularly in the exchange space.

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — Health officials have inspected Mississippi's lone abortion clinic, the first step in a process that could lead to its closure if a new state law survives a legal challenge.
Following Monday's inspection, the Mississippi Department of Health has 10 working days to issue findings. The Jackson Women's Health Organization continues to perform abortions in the meantime.
Clinic owner Diane Derzis said she expected to be cited for not complying with the law's requirement that physicians have privileges to admit patients to an area hospital.
"You know that I'm not in compliance," Derzis told The Associated Press Tuesday in a phone interview. "Certainly this is not a secret."
Derzis said she had expected the inspection to occur Monday.
"They will write us up for that and we will respond," she said. "The dance will continue."
Health department spokeswoman Liz Sharlot said the agency will send its findings to Derzis and called the examination a "standard inspection" of the type the department would conduct any time a new law was enacted, carried out by one or two employees.
The law also requires anyone who performs abortions to be an OB-GYN. The clinic said its physicians meet that requirement. The obstacle is that the two out-of-state OB-GYNS don't have admitting privileges and are having trouble getting them from reluctant local hospitals.
The clinic sued to stop the law from taking effect. On July 13, U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III ruled that the state was allowed to enforce the law while physicians continued to seek needed hospital admitting privileges. Jordan, though, said the state couldn't issue any criminal or civil penalties while the clinic tried to comply.
Admitting privileges can be difficult to obtain, either because doctors live out of state or because religious-affiliated hospitals don't grant them to doctors who do abortions. For example, Derzis has said that Jackson's St. Dominic Hospital, a Catholic facility, told physicians not to bother to apply. The clinic has said it could be forced out of business with the admitting privileges requirement, making it nearly impossible to get an abortion in Mississippi.
The clinic argues that the law will effectively ban abortion in the state and endanger women's health by limiting access to the procedure. It argued that the law is unconstitutional and would close the clinic "by imposing medically unjustified requirements on physicians who perform abortions." Lawyers also cite statements from Mississippi officials who said the law was intended to close the clinic.
A denial of admitting privileges could bolster the clinic's arguments that the law is unconstitutional, a lawyer for the state has suggested. But a final ruling could come only after a trial, and the loser could appeal.
The state argues that the law is intended to enhance the safety of patients. The state's lawyers have argued that Jordan should disregard statements about trying to close the clinic, a claim he greeted with skepticism in court.
More administrative steps would have to follow before the clinic could be shut. Sharlot said the clinic would have 10 calendar days to respond to any findings. The state's lawyers have said that a facility not complying with a law would get at least 30 days before an administrative hearing. If a license is revoked at a hearing, the clinic would get 30 days to appeal that decision. Health department officials have said it could take as long as 10 months to close the clinic if it failed to comply.

The Preventive Conservation Staff
Preventive Conservation
Light, humidity, temperature, pollutants, pests and even humans themselves can cause objects to deteriorate. While conservators often have difficult challenges in stabilizing objects once they are damaged, they also set great store by the adage that "an ounce of preservation is worth a pound of cure" and put an equal amount of effort into trying to prevent damage from occurring in the first place.
At Colonial Williamsburg, much of this work is carried out by the Preventive Conservation Team, which includes the Historic Interior Collections Care (HICC) staff. Their primary work is done outside the lab: in Historic Area buildings, the Art Museums of Colonial Williamsburg and collections storage areas. They clean, check for pests and track environmental conditions such as humidity, temperature and light levels. They work with the Historic Architectural Resources department to ensure that all is well in the historic structures and collaborate with Facilities Maintenance to ensure that the best possible environment is maintained in Colonial Williamsburg's historic houses and museums. They make realistic artificial food to use on historic tables, enabling the Foundation to talk about food ways in the past without attracting pests in the present! Preventive Conservation Team members also help curators install exhibits and design and build customized containers to protect objects in storage or when shipping loans to other museums.

Wellington Waterfront Walk
Wellington's watefront is stunning; right in the heart of the city and surrounded by New Zealand's beautiful natural environment.
One of the easiest strolls in Wellington - allow an hour. This walk begins at the Post Office Square opposite Queens Wharf, and works its way along the waterfront to Te Papa. It takes in many of the buildings used in early Wellington wharfing. Monuments to special events in Wellington are marked out along the way as you head towards Civic Square.
Civic Square is home to the City Library, City Gallery, Wellington i-SITE Visitor Centre and the Town Hall Complex. Walk back over the bridge past the Boatshed to Te Papa. To add to the walk, stroll past Te Papa to Waitangi Park, past Port Nicholson Marina, and onto Oriental Parade, where the streetscape is among New Zealand's finest.
Take your photo with the Solace in the Wind sculpture. Pick up a gelati from Kaffe Eis or find a café and have a well-earned rest over a great local coffee, while you gaze back across the water to the city.

The government is planning to spend up to £4.58 billion on building three wide area networks to link to smart meters in 30 million UK homes and businesses.
The utility companies - which are currently in the process of putting up their prices for gas and electricity - have previously said that any adoption of widespread smart metering would need government cash to enable it.
The government, which has detailed some of its plans in contract notices, said it plans to build three regional smart metering WANs to carry the data - worth up to £1.53 billion each. The tenders were placed by the Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC).
The three areas, going as separate lots, are: northern Great Britain including Scotland, central Great Britain including Wales, and southern England.
The governmant has also put out two tender documents for the supply of smart meter data services - worth up to £240 million in total. A "central data and communications company" will be created to collect data gleaned from the three planned WANs.
The government has long said that smart metering is a vital initiative in modernising the UK. The rollout is aimed at helping customers to control their usage by providing detailed real time information on what their consumption is costing. It is also seen as an important step towards smart grids, which will target better management of demand..
But such a large layout of cash may nevertheless prove controversial. In June, the National Audit Office said that the rollout, set to cost £11.3 billion in total, faces "major risks" on value for money, because there was "uncertainty" about "the extent to which smart meters will result in changed energy use by consumers over a sustained period" as well as concerns that the government has not yet developed a benefits realisation plan.

Find nursing job opportunities in Pennsylvania long-term care facilities and assisted living homes
Pennsylvania LPN Employment
There are many practical nursing positions available in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Most long-term care facilities have state mandated minimum requirements to have a certain number of nurses on staff for a given number of patients. To meet this demand and accommodate their residents, facility administrators are frequently hiring nursing professionals.
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) can work under the supervision of a Registered Nurse (RN) or physician on duty. An LPN provides the same type of patient care as an RN but holds a lesser degree of education and training. Many LPNs go on to become an RN at some point in their careers.
Future LPN Job Outlook
The US Census Bureau is predicting explosive job growth in the nursing industry over the next decade. Many current nurses are entering retirement while many Americans are aging. This dynamic is creating a strong demand for licensed practical nurses and other health care providers.
The practical nursing career path also offers room for advancement by becoming a registered nurse or working for a private health care company. Some practical nurses continue their education to become doctors or nurse practitioners. There are many employment possibilities within the health care umbrella and practical nursing allows you to gain valuable work experience.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. - You have probably seen the Lone Cypress. It stands along famously scenic 17-Mile Drive, raked by wind, swaddled in fog, clinging to its wave-lashed granite pedestal like God's advertisement for rugged individualism.
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. � You have probably seen the Lone Cypress. It stands along famously scenic 17-Mile Drive, raked by wind, swaddled in fog, clinging to its wave-lashed granite pedestal like God�s advertisement for rugged individualism.
It may be 250 years old. It might be the most photographed tree in North America.
It sits alongside one of the world�s most beautiful golf courses. It�s a marketing tool, a registered trademark, a Western icon.
David Potigian, owner of Gallery Sur in Carmel, explained it this way: The tree is to the Monterey Peninsula what the pyramids are to Egypt or the Eiffel Tower is to Paris.
No wonder its keepers hope that it will last 100 more years.
But let�s face it: This is one spindly old conifer, small for its species, scarred by a long-ago arson. For more than 65 years, half-hidden steel cables have held the tree in place.
Visitors who pay the $9.75 per car to cruise 17-Mile Drive (which is private property, part of the 5,300-acre Pebble Beach resort), will see the Lone Cypress and behold the spectacular collision of land, sea, golf and wealth that is Pebble Beach.
But visitors won�t get within 40 feet of the tree. Chances are they will be joined by a few other tourists. Maybe a tour bus, too.
This is the challenge of a classic postcard destination. Like many other travelers, I�m drawn to these places � the Lone Cypress, Yosemite�s Half Dome and Monument Valley, for instance.
Yet when I arrive, I don�t want a warmed-over experience. I want a jolt of discovery.
I�ve seen plenty of Lone Cypress images but never stood before the genuine article and stared. When you finally get to such a place, you want to spot something that will draw you closer or transform your perspective. Once you reach Pebble Beach, about 325 miles north of Los Angeles, you enter 17-Mile Drive; pay the booth attendant; then head past well-tended fairways, sprawling estates and coastal open space to stop No.?16.
On your way, remind yourself that, as a species, the Monterey cypress naturally occurs no place on Earth but around Pebble Beach and Point Lobos. Every one of these natives is a rarity.
At No. 16, you find about two dozen parking spaces lining the two-lane road. Above the surf, rocks and foliage is a wooden observation deck, and nearby is a fenced private home that has stood within 200 feet of the tree for about a half-century. (A woman in the home, Frances Larkey, saw the flames and called authorities when an unknown arsonist set the tree afire in 1984.) And out there on the rock is the Lone Cypress.
Some tourists shrug and stay two minutes. Some stay 20.
So did I see the tree anew? Not exactly. We visited it morning, noon and night; watched tourists ebb and flow; chartered a boat to see it from the ocean. But more than ever, I have a soft spot for that singular figure on the rock.

I thought Michael Moore had a good idea when he proposed naming Occupy SF after Bradley Manning. Bradley is accused by the U.S. government of leaking to Wikileaks government reports and cables on years of military operations and communications about and with other governments.
He may go before a court martial soon, although there is apparently deep disagreement between different sections of the government over what evidence to let the defense see, and what they will allow to be made public.
Michael's point is that the "Arab Spring" beginning with the uprising in Tunisia last December, spreading across the Mid East, and continuing now in struggle against highly repressive regimes in Syria, Bahrain, and Yemen, was fueled by revelations posted by Wikileaks. MissionLocal reports
Energizing protesters, he said the origin of the Occupy movement could be traced to Tunisia and the Arab Spring. But the ultimate credit? That belonged to alleged WikiLeaks informant and U.S. Army soldier Bradley Manning, whom Moore called the original Occupy instigator for his purported role in leaking thousands of U.S. government cables. Moore even proposed renaming Justin Herman Plaza to Bradley Manning Plaza in his honor.
BradleyManning.org quotes Moore as calling on people to remember the (alleged) contribution of Bradley Manning, saying it's
"… sad, tragic and criminal that he is still in jail. Has not been charged with a crime or put on trial. Having done a very brave thing, when you draw a line from A to B to C, that we are here in this park today in part to his courage."
It's worth thinking about the war crimes revealed, and how putting reality before people really can bring about change in how the perceive injustice, and how they act. Isn't this what we've been working on for years?
The BradleyManning.org site has a good summary of those revelations in What did WikiLeaks Reveal?Download PDF version of article here.

No. 78,0001
TURNER & BOISSEAU, CHARTERED, and
HAL D. MELTZER, Individually,
1. Under the Kansas Administrative Procedure Act, an order issued by a presiding officer may be reviewed by the agency head. Request for review by the agency head must be filed within 15 days after service of the initial order. If no request for review is made, the presiding officer's order becomes final.
2. A petition for judicial review of an agency action may be filed only after all administrative remedies available with the agency have been exhausted. In addition, a party may generally obtain judicial review only of those issues raised before the agency.
3. Under the facts of this case, the presiding officer assessed attorney fees against the appellants. After the presiding officer filed the initial order, appellants failed to request agency review of the attorney fees order. Thus, appellants failed to exhaust their administrative remedies before filing suit to challenge the fee order in district court.
4. Because the appellants failed to exhaust their administrative remedies before filing suit, the district court lacked jurisdiction over the case. Where a district court has no jurisdiction over a case, the appellate court does not acquire jurisdiction over the subject matter on appeal.
Appeal from Shawnee District Court; CHARLES E. ANDREWS, JR., judge. Opinion filed December 24, 1998. Appeal dismissed.
Thomas L. Theis and Jeffrey W. Jones, of Sloan, Listrom, Eisenbarth, Sloan & Glassman, L.L.C., of Topeka, for appellants.
Mark W. Stafford, of Kansas State Board of Healing Arts, for appellee.
Stephen W. Cavanaugh and Harold A. Houck, of Fisher, Cavanaugh & Smith, P.A., for intervenor E.K.
Before ELLIOTT, P.J., PIERRON and ROYSE, JJ.
ROYSE, J.: Turner & Boisseau, Chartered, and Hal Meltzer (appellants) filed this action for judicial review of an agency action. The agency action they challenged was an order of sanctions imposed against them in connection with a proceeding before the Kansas State Board of Healing Arts (Board). The district court upheld the agency action, and this appeal followed. We dismiss for lack of jurisdiction.
In early 1992 the Board initiated a disciplinary proceeding against Dr. Vinod Patel, based on allegations that he had engaged in unprofessional conduct with several women patients. Retired Judge Newton Vickers was appointed by the Board to serve as presiding officer in the matter. Dr. Patel was represented by appellants.
On May 11, 1992, appellants filed identical motions seeking to discover the medical records of three of the women who had complained about Patel's conduct. One of these women was E.K. We are referring to her by her initials, based on the reasoning of Supreme Court Rule 7.043 (1998 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 48). In re Berg, 264 Kan. 254, 955 P.2d 1240 (1998).
The motion referred to E.K. as the "plaintiff E.K." It represented that she had "made a claim for injuries allegedly suffered in the accident or incident which is the subject of this action." It argued that "in filing this lawsuit," she had waived the physician-patient privilege. It represented that Patel needed the records "in order to confirm or deny the nature and extent of her alleged injuries." These representations were reiterated in a legal memorandum which was filed in support of the motion.
Based on this motion, appellants obtained an order directed to all medical institutions, practitioners, and health care providers, which allowed them to inspect and copy E.K.'s medical records. The order recited that E.K. had "made a claim for personal injuries" and had therefore waived the physician-patient privilege.
In March 1993 E.K., through her counsel, filed a motion to quash a subpoena directed to one of her doctors and to obtain a protective order. She contended that appellants had been gathering her medical records since September 1992 without her knowledge or consent. She asked the presiding officer to rescind the discovery order, because it had been based on the fraudulent allegation that she had filed a claim for personal injuries against Patel. She noted that she had never filed a claim for personal injuries against Patel.
By letter order issued May 6, 1993, the presiding officer sustained E.K.'s motion. The presiding officer found that E.K. had never filed any personal injury claim against Patel. The presiding officer rejected appellants' argument that making a complaint on which a disciplinary proceeding is based is the same thing as filing suit for personal injuries. The presiding officer further ordered appellants to pay E.K.'s attorney fees incurred in connection with the proceeding.
Subsequently, the presiding officer reviewed appellants' letter asking for reconsideration of the fee order and E.K.'s documentation of fees incurred. By letter dated May 19, 1993, the presiding officer specifically found that appellants knew when they sought the discovery order that E.K. had not filed any claim for personal injuries. The presiding officer found that appellants' motion had been filed in violation of K.S.A. 60-2007(b). The letter concluded by ordering that Patel and appellants were jointly and severally liable for E.K.'s attorney fees in the amount of $1,020.
Appellants subsequently withdrew as counsel for Patel. An administrative hearing was held on April 25, 1994. The presiding officer filed his initial order on April 27, 1994, recommending that Patel's license be revoked. Patel, pro se, filed a timely motion for Board review of the initial order. The Board issued its final order on June 10, 1994, adopting the findings and conclusions set out in the initial order and ordering Patel's license revoked.
On June 28, 1994, appellants filed a petition in the district court, seeking judicial review of the sanctions imposed by the presiding officer in the May 6, 1993, and May 19, 1993, letters. The Board moved to dismiss the petition on the grounds that appellants had failed to exhaust their administrative remedies. On March 24, 1995, the district court dismissed the action but remanded the matter to the Board. The district court reasoned that the May letters were initial orders but that the Board had failed to review them and file a final order as required by K.S.A. 77-526(g). The district court ordered the Board to review the letter orders and issue a final order within 60 days.
The Board conducted its review of the letter orders on April 29, 1995. Although Board members expressed reservations about their jurisdiction to review the letters, they decided to comply with the district court's order. The Board's final order regarding sanctions was filed on May 22, 1995, adopting and approving the orders of the presiding officer. The final order recited that, following the entry of the letter orders in May 1993, "no party or other individual requested a review of said orders by the Board." The Board further found that appellants had made allegations in the discovery motion which were not true.
Appellants filed a petition for judicial review of the May 22, 1995, order in district court on June 21, 1995. Following a hearing, the district court entered an order upholding the sanctions.
Before considering appellants' substantive arguments, we must first address a jurisdictional question. Under the Kansas Administrative Procedure Act, K.S.A. 77-501 et seq., an order issued by a presiding officer may be reviewed by the agency head. K.S.A. 77-527. Request for review by the agency head must be filed within 15 days after service of the initial order. K.S.A. 77-527(b). If no request for review is made, the presiding officer's order becomes final. K.S.A. 77-526(b).
A petition for judicial review of an agency action may be filed only after all administrative remedies available within the agency have been exhausted. K.S.A. 77-612. In addition, a party may generally obtain judicial review only of those issues raised before the agency. K.S.A. 77-617; Expert Environmental Control, Inc. v. Walker, 13 Kan. App. 2d 56, 58-59, 761 P.2d 320 (1988). Judicial review of a final action pursuant to K.S.A. 77-607 may address issues raised in regard to agency orders of a preliminary or interim nature. 2 Koch, Administrative Law and Practice § 8.25 (2d ed. 1997); see, e.g., In re Tax Appeal of Collingwood Grain, Inc., 257 Kan. 237, 252-54, 891 P.2d 422 (1995) (reviewing preliminary order of agency declining to issue subpoenas in action for judicial review of BOTA exemption order); Wisconsin DOR v. Hogan, 198 Wis. 2d 792, 543 N.W.2d 825 (Wis. App. 1995) (order certifying class action reviewable once agency issued order addressing merits); Lundy Packing Co. v. N.L.R.B., 856 F.2d 627, 630 (4th Cir. 1988) (judicial review of NLRB decision to uphold administrative law judge order quashing a subpoena). Compare K.S.A. 77-624 (authorizing judicial action to enforce subpoena, discovery order, or protective order).
Appellants state in their brief that they believed the presiding officer's initial order of April 27, 1994, incorporated and affirmed his prior sanction orders contained in the May 6 and 19, 1993, letters. Yet they failed to seek agency review of the sanction orders upon the filing of the initial order. Thus, appellants failed to exhaust the remedy of administrative review by the Board which was available to them under K.S.A. 77-527. Although Patel did seek review of the initial order, he did not raise the sanctions issue. In short, the agency (the Board) never had the opportunity to address the sanctions issues before appellants proceeded to district court.
The district court correctly concluded that it could not examine an issue which appellants had failed to raise before the Board. The appropriate remedy, however, was not a remand for the Board to conduct a review that appellants had never timely requested. When appellants filed a lawsuit before exhausting administrative remedies required by K.S.A. 77-512, the district court should have dismissed the action for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. E.g., Dillon Stores v. Board of Sedgwick County Comm'rs, 259 Kan. 295, 912 P.2d 170 (1995); Dean v. State, 250 Kan. 417, 826 P.2d 1372 (1992); Zarda v. State, 250 Kan. 364, 826 P.2d 1365 (1992); Simmons v. Vliets Farmers Co-op Ass'n, 19 Kan. App. 2d 1, 861 P.2d 1345, rev. denied 253 Kan. 861 (1993); Expert Environmental Control, Inc. v. Walker, 13 Kan. App. 2d at 59.
The parties spend considerable time trying to determine whether the sanction orders by the presiding officer were initial orders or final orders under K.S.A. 77-526. That statute, however, refers to orders issued at the completion of the formal hearing to address the substantive issues before the agency. As a general rule, the order is an "initial order" if issued by a presiding officer; the order is a "final order" if issued by the agency head. See Ryan, The New Kansas Administrative Procedure and Judicial Review Acts, 54 J.K.B.A. 53, 60 (1985). K.S.A. 77-526 has no application to the sanction orders at issue here. See also K.S.A. 77-522 (authorizing discovery orders and protective orders).
Because the appellants failed to exhaust their administrative remedies before filing suit, the district court lacked jurisdiction over the case. Where the district court has no jurisdiction, the appellate court does not acquire jurisdiction over the subject matter on appeal. Funk Mfg. Co. v. Franklin, 261 Kan. 91, 95, 927 P.2d 944 (1996).
Appeal dismissed.
1 REPORTER'S NOTE: Previously filed as an unpublished opinion, the Supreme Court granted a motion to publish by an order dated March 16, 1999, pursuant to Rule 7.04 (1998 Kan. Ct. R. Annot. 44).

Rust and sediment is the most common water problem and ranks right up there with Chlorine. If your water is cloudy or brown, and you can see particles floating in your water, then you have rust and sediment in your water. The dirt, rust, and sand sediment may not be harmful, but it does have it's bad attributes. Rust and sediment will reduce the life of your appliances, make your water look and taste bad and will shorten the life of your more expensive water filters as they will clog quicker. Luckily, rust and dirt sediment is also the easiest and cheapest water problem that water filters can solve. We recommend you look at a whole house water filter system such as the AquaPure AP101T with the AP110 water filter. This will do a great job in removing the sediment and extending the life of your appliances and carbon based water filters..
I have a bad rust problem will my well water,I understand that there is a magnetic system that will remove the rust and it also back flushes itself and is set on a timer to do this
What is the maximum temperature for this system?

Transforming Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Trans Lives: an inclusive conference
Our conference will not be a traditional academic conference. We want to be inclusive, to hear from a really broad range of people.
We hope to attract participants, observers, speakers and presenters from all across the LGBT community, everywhere we are - not just in academia but in activism, in public work, in education, in services, in relationships and in business. If you have an interest in promoting gender and sexual liberation, we want to hear from you.
We have three main aims for our inclusive conference: we want it to be diverse, safe and welcoming.
A diverse conference
We use the term 'LGBT' partly because it's political - it's the term we tend to use when talking about our rights, and it's also the term most public bodies use to describe us. But it's not always the term we use to describe ourselves, so don't worry if you don't feel it fits.
We welcome people of all sexual and gender identities: queer, intersex, poly, straight and more. We're also interested in hearing from people who are unsure about their identity, people with lots of different sexual and gender identities, and people who see their identities as more fluid.
A safe conference
We want people to feel safe at our conference, no matter what their age, race, ethnicity, disability, employment, caring responsibilities, religion or beliefs. So we won't be demanding that participants talk about their identities, but of course you can discuss them on the day if you want. We do plan on carrying out confidential, anonymous monitoring, but there's no need to give us this information if you don't want to.
A welcoming conference
We hope that whatever your identity, you'll feel welcome in the space we're creating, and you'll find discussions that relate to you.

Watching Over My WordFebruary 02, 2018
And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, "Jeremiah, what do you see?" And I said, "I see an almond branch." Then the LORD said to me, "You have seen well, for I am watching over My word to perform it." Jeremiah 1:11-12
quickpage by Gunhild Storeide, paper and clusters: Regal Elegance by Kristmess Designs
About the author (Tricia Berg):
I live in Wisconsin and have been happily married for over thirty years. My husband and I have two adult children. I very much enjoy studying the Bible in depth, which helps me to grow in my faith in, knowledge of and love for my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, the Word, the Bread of Life. (John 6:35, John 1:1, Rev. 19:11-16, Rom. 10:8-10) We believers are called to be the salt and light of the earth. (Matt. 5:13-16) One way I try to do that is by sharing the treasures that I find in the Bible in the devotionals I write.
Having sadly wasted far too much of my early Christian life "going through the motions," I have deep concerns about the state of readiness of the Church for Jesus' return. As that time draws near, it's critical that we take the advice of Jesus and the apostles to "wake up" and examine our walk with our Savior. (Rev. 2:20-23, 3:1-6, Rev. 3:14-19, 1Cor. 15:34, 1Thess. 5:5-8, Mark 13:32-37, Rom. 13:11-14, 2Cor. 13:5, 1John 2:28-29) Now is the time to make changes if something is lacking in the expression of our love for God - to be sure our lamps are filled with oil so that we can be ready for the return of the Bridegroom. (Matt. 25:1-13, Psa. 119:105, 111:10, 18:28, Prov. 23:23, 2Tim. 3:14-17, 2Pet. 3:14-18, 2Cor. 5:14-15).
We would be wise to keep in mind that "what God is preparing" is for "those who LOVE Him." (John 14:15-26, John 15:1-21, Eph. 5:1-33, 1Cor. 2:9, 2Tim. 2:19-22) If everyone who claims to believe enters the kingdom of heaven with the inheritance of a firstborn (whether they bear the fruits of the indwelling Spirit or not - Gal. 5:13-18, 19-25, Titus 2:11-15, 3:3-8, John 3:3-8, 14:15-17, Heb. 12:14-17, 22-24, 28-29, 3:5-14, 1Pet. 1:14-19, 2:4-12, 2Cor. 7:1; whether they hold fast to and follow Jesus or not - Matt. 16:24-27, Rom. 8:16-17, Heb. 13:13, 1Pet. 2:21, Phil. 1:27-30, 1John 2:1-6, 3:1-10, 2Tim. 2:19-26, 1Pet. 4:3-5; even if they love the world and its pleasures more than God - 1John 2:15-17, Jam. 4:4-10), then Paul would not have said that he had not yet attained what he sought (but shortly before his death, he expressed confidence that he would receive it.) (Phil. 3:8-21, 2Tim. 4:8, 2Tim. 2:3-7, 1Cor. 11:1, Heb. 13:7-10, 3John 1:11) Paul was not "earning salvation" by obeying His Lord. He was proving the faith in his heart was genuine. (John 15:8, Jam. 1:12, Heb. 6:11-12, Heb. 10:23-39, Heb. 12:1-29, 1Cor. 9:24-10:13, Col. 3:23-25, 1Pet. 1:6-9, 2Pet. 3:11-18, Rev. 3:10-13) He was taking up His cross and obeying the greatest two commands. (Matt. 10:37-39, Mark 12:28-34, Rom. 13:8-14) He was storing ALL of his treasure in heaven, where his heart was. (Matt. 6:19-34, Luke 12:32-48, Phil. 4:12-13, 1Tim. 6:6-12, Heb. 13:5-6)
For steadfast Christians, times are going to get tough as the meanings of "freedom" and "love" are transformed by society to include many behaviors that God has clearly indicated are unacceptable to Him. (2Pet. 2:18-19, Jude 1:3-23, Rom. 12:1-2) We can expect to be pressured to cave in, or if we refuse, to be ridiculed and even vilified, for standing firm for biblical values by those who are being deceived. (2Tim. 3:12-13, Matt. 5:10-12, 10:34-39, Luke 6:26, Rom. 16:18-19, 1Pet. 2:11-12, 3:14-17, 4:13-17, Col. 3:5-10, 1Pet. 1:14-19, 2Thess. 2:9-12) We're called to speak the truth in love, and we must do BOTH without redefining either. (Eph. 4:15-24, 1Cor. 15:58, Rom. 12:9)

Hey hey, it's been a while Haikasoruphiles, but we're back with a brand-new giveaway contest. Just in time for the winter holidays, we're releasing Virus: The Day of Resurrection in hardcover by Sakyo Komatsu, and we're giving away four copies. Komatsu's name should sound familiar—he's the author of Japan Sinks and was a guest of honor at the 2007 World Science Fiction Convention (you know, Worldcon) in Japan—the first ever Japanese Worldcon.
Virus is a classic from the 1960s and was made into a feature film in 1980. (Enterprising people can find the whole thing on YouTube.) In it, a virus from space is altered by scientists and becomes an unstoppable killer. Soon, there only ten thousand human being left alive—on Antarctica. Then the survivors get some bad news…
Is this guy walking home from Antarctica because he left a pot roast in the oven?
Which brings us to our giveaway! Virus posits the end of the world via human folly and space germs. How do you think the world might end? Or will it ever? Do you find the whole fascination with the end of the world fascinating, endearing, or just stupid? Write us a little essay of 50-200 words, or poem, or whatever, leave it in the form of a comment on this post and you might be one of four lucky and skillful winners. (We don't choose winners randomly; we pick the comments we find the most entertaining.) Feel free to write in English, Spanish, Japanese, German, French, or Greek, and we will ship anywhere!

Former President Bill Clinton, speaking at a fiscal summit Wednesday, said he isn't sure Goldman Sachs Group broke the law in setting up the complex deal that has drawn civil fraud charges from the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Still, Clinton said that regardless of whether Goldman broke the law, he questions the merit of deals between financial firms when they're making bets on things they don't own. "I think too much of this stuff has no economic purpose," Clinton said, referring to the use of derivatives. Clinton said he supports derivatives for farmers and agriculture companies to hedge bets on their own crops.
He said he also supports proposals in Congress to put derivatives on clearinghouses. The Senate is trying to pass a bill that would put tough restrictions on derivatives despite push back by the financial sector and some Republicans that the measures go too far.
Clinton said the use of derivatives plays a role in a broader problem in the economy. "Too much of our growth in the last decade was in finance," Clinton said.
Goldman Sachs executives on Tuesday testified before a Senate panel about derivatives and other deals they set up. Congress and the White House have alleged that Goldman and other Wall Street giants made risky bets that helped fuel the economic downturn.

These skilled and selfless professionals left their loved ones and traveled hundreds of miles to participate in our restoration effort. For that we are humbled and thankful.
When Hurricane Sandy was bearing down on the East Coast, our company, Baltimore Gas and Electric Co., knew there would be heavy damage and widespread power outages throughout central Maryland — too much for any one utility to hope to handle without help. We put out the advance request for help through utility mutual assistance networks.
We are grateful that Florida Power & Light, Gainesville Regional Utilities, Musgrove Inc., JEA Inc., Pike, Sunshine State Utility, Asplundh and SSUC-Tampa answered our call, and joined a force of nearly 2,000 utility workers from states throughout the nation who set out to help central Maryland in our time of need. These skilled and selfless professionals left their loved ones and traveled hundreds of miles to participate in our restoration effort. For that we are humbled and thankful.
Many utility crews who helped with our recovery, continued north, along with our own crews, to assist communities still struggling to recover from this devastating storm. We keep them in our thoughts and prayers for a safe return to their homes soon.
Our appreciation extends especially to the loved ones of Florida Power and Light, Gainesville Regional Utilities, Musgrove Inc., JEA Inc., Pike, Sunshine State Utility, Asplundh and SSUC-Tampa employees, who were apart from their family members and no doubt worried for their safety.
Know that should the need ever arise for out-of-state utility support in your community, Baltimore Gas and Electric Company stands ready to answer the call.
KENNETH W. DeFONTES, Jr.
DeFontes is president and CEO, Baltimore Gas and Electric Co.
I would like to congratulate Bob Wiley and his team for the outstanding renovation of the old post office building on Canal Street. It looks great and certainly adds to beauty of our city. It also shows what imagination and ingenuity can do. It's a pleasure to sit, or drive by, and view a beautiful building. Thanks again, Bob, for a job well done.

The Republican Party has held the American people hostage for three-plus years. Millions of people would be working — repairing our schools, bridges, roads and highways — but they claim they can't do this because we don't have the money.
We are giving millions of dollars to Pakistan to use its roads — yet they had Osama bin Laden for years. Pakistan is not an ally.
We trained the Afghan people to help themselves. Now they are using this training and weaponry to kill us. Same thing is happening in Iraq.
Make the tax structure equal for every man, woman and child in the United States. Stop outsourcing well-paying jobs. When we work, taxes, Medicare and Social Security are paid for, and the country survives.
Barack Obama is our president and he deserves respect, not innuendos because he is black. All men are created equal!
This is in reply to the letter writer who talked about the mandate he thinks President Obama received from the American people. He did receive a mandate from the people who are on food stamps, unemployment benefits and welfare, but he did not receive a mandate from the taxpaying citizens of this country.
Obama knows it and we know it.
If, as the writer says, he won by 3 million votes — with 45 million on food stamps, how could he lose?
New Smyrna Beach
I'm responding to a recent letter to the editor titled, "Nation voted with greed." The writer paints those who voted to re-elect President Obama with broadly negative strokes.
I'm a 39-year-old white male — father of two, a husband and a nurse. I voted out of admiration for a president who values equal rights for everyone, who values education, who values a woman's right to make health care decisions, who values protecting our environment, who values our diversity and who values all of America.
The writer says that "by re-electing President Obama ... the people have spoken: They don't care about this country, all they care about is what they can get from the government, all that free money and that free stuff." She also writes, "people don't want to work!" Sounds like regurgitated brainwashing from Fox News and the Republican Party's propaganda machine.
It's interesting to point out that nine of the 10 worst-educated states (based on the percentage of adults with college educations) all went to Romney during this election. (West Virginia, Mississippi, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Alabama, Tennessee, Oklahoma, and Indiana.) Only Nevada went to Obama. Many of these states also have the highest food stamp rates.
On the other hand, the most educated states — Massachusetts, Maryland, Colorado, Connecticut, Vermont, New Jersey, Virginia, New Hampshire, New York and Minnesota — all went for Obama.
The unemployment rate for college graduates is about 4 percent. Thus, the educated people in these Democratic blue states are overwhelmingly working, paying taxes and not getting anything for free!
What to make of this? Maybe the people leeching off the system are wearing Republican red!
Yes, the blue states voted to keep the president like our swing state did. In my view, a very educated and smart choice!
Port Orange
The war against Israel will not end with the announcement of a cease-fire in Gaza. It's not difficult to predict that soon enough, Israel will again be fighting for its survival. The armies of Hamas and Hezbollah wait coiled for the next strike. In Syria, the fires continue to burn unabated and the whole Middle East is well down its path to a horrible conflagration.
This madness is primarily fueled by the ayatollahs of Iran. The head of the snake lives in Tehran. When the war to stop that evil begins in earnest, it will involve the United States.
Pray for peace. Pray for victory over Islamist fascism. Without the latter, the former is without hope.

What Are You Drinking, Noah Rothbaum?
Checking in with drinks industry folks—booze-writers, distillers, brewers, bartenders, and winemakers—about what drinks they're excited about now.
Our Drinks editor recently shared a bit about what her daily life is like, which made us curious about the lives (and drinking habits) of other editors of drink-related websites. Today we check in with Noah Rothbaum, the editor-in-chief of Liquor.com. He's also the author of The Business of Spirits: How Savvy Marketers, Innovative Distillers, and Entrepreneurs Changed How We Drink.
Shall we get started?
What are you drinking these days, Noah Rothbaum?
For me, the holidays are all about punch. On Thanksgiving/Chanukah, my wife and I hosted the big meal and I made the historic Martha Washington Punch but with bourbon instead of the traditional rum. I also added some Employees Only Grenadine, which gave it a rich, fruity note that paired very well with the turkey and latkes. I just made cocktail historian Dave Wondrich's Classic Rum-Brandy Punch for a friend's party, which is no-fail and was a big hit. I plan to whip up a big bubbly bowl for New Year's Eve.
What does your workday at Liquor.com look like?
It contains way less drinking than most people think. My day usually starts with coffee and not cocktails. The first task of the day is reading and answering emails. Then usually I check to see how our content is doing and what comments or questions we've gotten from our readers. Since many of my colleagues are based in San Francisco (I'm in New York), the mornings are fairly quiet and are when I do a lot of my editing, writing, and proofing of stories. That sometimes includes tastings of spirits and recipe testing. The afternoons are often filled with meetings and interviews. At night I like to go to a tasting or check out a new bar, usually several a week.
If a friend was looking to stock up their bar on a budget, what bottles would you recommend?
While prices for spirits are no doubt getting ever more expensive, there are still many bargains to be found on liquor-store shelves. Rittenhouse Rye and W. L. Weller Bourbon are steals at about $20. Beefeater Gin, which is even cheaper, is hard to beat. Same goes for unflavored Absolut, Reyka and Tito's vodkas.
There are definitely many more deals to be had when it comes to rum, including Cruzan Black Strap and Plantation Grande Reserve Barbados Rum, which both can be found for less than $20. Tequila has certainly gotten very pricy, but at around $20, Espolón is a pretty good place to start, since it's made from 100 percent blue agave. When it comes to entry- level single malt Scotches, there aren't too many options. If you can find it, try Ardmore, which had historically been used exclusively for Teacher's Highland Cream (a blended Scotch) and is available in some stores for under $30.
What expensive booze do you think is totally worth the price?
Very good question. Highland Park 18-Year-Old at about $120 is definitely worth the price. (I used to like it even more when it sold for $85.) The Laphroaig 25-Year-Old ($500) from a few years ago is amazing. At that age, the peat has mellowed a bit and the whisky just comes together perfectly. The 1969 Glenlivet Cellar Collection, which—if you can find it—sells for about $800, is exceptional. The Delamain line of cognacs is delicious and might actually be under-priced, which is also true of The Glenrothes' vintage Scotches.
What was the coolest cocktail you've had lately?
I had a great cocktail, at New York's PDT recently, the One-Two Punch, which was created by the talented Jeff Bell and called for Johnnie Walker Double Black, grapefruit and pilsner beer. It was a truly refreshing mix, and I was impressed that Jeff used such a peaty, smoky Scotch as the drink's base. I wish there were more Scotch cocktails on bar menus.
What cocktail trends are you tired of?
Overly complicated cocktails. At the end of the day, nobody cares how many ingredients are in a drink. It just needs to taste good. Bartending legend Dale DeGroff is predicting a return to simpler drinks, and really I hope that happens.
Any other cocktail trends you're predicting?
Think you're paying a lot for drinks now? Prices are going to continue to rise for fine spirits and craft cocktails in 2014. In the new year, you'll also see more cocktails on tap and more high-end pre-bottled cocktail lines, like Crafthouse from James Beard Award- winning bartender Charles Joly. That's not to mention an increasingly large selection of Scotch-like whiskies made around the globe.
So many drinks, so little time. Keep in the loop on Twitter, or sign up for our weekly newsletter.
