Mountain Valley Spring Water is pristine, naturally high pH water, containing a nice selection of minerals like calcium carbonate, iron, manganese and even a trace amount of fluoride. Devotees of our water claim it not only tastes refreshing, but it has a certain "mouth feel" other
holistic water options do not possess. Our natural spring water has twice won the title of "Best Tasting Non-Carbonated Bottled Water in the World" at the prestigious Berkley Springs International Water Tasting Competition.
Many teams of geologists have tested the natural spring source over the years and have determined that the water takes up to 3,500 years for the rain falling on Cedar Mountain to travel to the deep aquifer and return as Mountain Valley Spring Water. The
natural filtering of this ancient water and the minerals it collects along the way make it different from many other bottled water sources.
The naturally high pH of Mountain Valley mineral water is especially prized by knowledgeable, natural and organic consumers
that desire holistic water to help offset modern high acid diets.
Mountain Valley Spring Water in glass bottles is sought out by
chemically sensitive people who suffer from MCS and are sensitive to pervasive
man-made chemicals in the environment. Mountain Valley is dedicated to ensuring our bottles, caps, and labels remain safe for
chemically sensitive people.
Our sparkling spring water is loved by "foodies" not only for its minerals and taste, but because the bubbles are small and complement rather than overpower good food.
Mountain Valley Spring Water is certified Kosher and Pareve by the Orthodox Union and we stand fast to its principles.

Ogden • A juvenile court judge will keep open the hearings of a Roy High School teen charged with plotting to bomb the high school, despite protests from his defense attorney.
"We certainly have a matter of great public concern," 2nd District Juvenile Court Judge Janice Frost said. "This is a case that potentially involves a great number of victims."
In 1998, the Utah Legislature passed a law allowing more openness in juvenile court proceedings. If a juvenile is older than 14 and charged with a felony level crime, hearings are presumed open unless a judge finds there is good cause to close them.
"Closure is the exception," said Michael O'Brien, an attorney representing The Salt Lake Tribune and other news outlets.
Scott Nickle, an attorney for the 16-year-old senior, argued that opening the hearing to the public would hurt the teen's chances of rehabilitation through the juvenile court.
But with the teen's 18-year-old co-defendant, Dallin Todd Morgan, charged in an adult court, and with prosecutors working to certify the 16-year-old as an adult, Frost said she would keep the hearings open.
"I think the public has an interest in knowing how the court arrives at those decisions," the judge said.
A status conference in the case has been set for next month. A preliminary hearing and possibly a certification hearing are set for May.
Authorities arrested the pair on Jan. 25, after other students came forward concerned about text messages the 16-year-old was allegedly sending.
The two Roy High School seniors allegedly planned to detonate a bomb during a school assembly then steal an airplane and fly away to freedom, police said. Searches turned up no explosives, but police said they did find plans for an explosive device along with maps of the school and its security.
The Salt Lake Tribune typically does not identify suspects charged in juvenile court.

A longtime employee of Mazda Canada, headquartered in Richmond Hill, has been promoted to global head of corporate communications in Hiroshima, Japan.
Toronto resident Gregory Young, 55, took over as general manager of global corporate communications July 2.
Mr. Young comes from inside the Mazda company and his promotion is rare in a firm that usually appoints Japanese to the high-level positions.
He was initially hired by Mazda in 1991 to start the company's public relations operations in Canada. He moved to Japan in 2011 to take on the position of deputy general manager of corporate communications.
Mazda builds 70 percent of its cars in Japan, but overseas sales account for 83 percent of its global total. Mr. Young's promotion aims in part to promote better communication with that customer base.
A child of Canadian missionaries who grew up in South Korea, he's a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan and University of Toronto.
He speaks English, Korean and is learning Japanese.

A strange phenomena is happening in some Russian forests. People are finding strange, deep holes.
They appear in the dense forest, in the places you can't reach in a car or truck to bring any equipment to drill the ground. There is no soil nearby that could have been taken from such deep hole.
When people are brave enough to venture into the holes, they find that they end abruptly in the darkness. There are no reasonable ideas on how these holes appear and what they are being used for. No one knows who or what is digging these holes or why.

When the Arizona Cardinals drafted inside linebacker Daryl Washington in the second-round (No. 47) of the 2010 NFL Draft, I knew they had drafted a steal. A player with blazing speed including a 4.57 40-yard dash, Washington had all the intangibles to blossom at the next level. At 6-foot-2, 230 pounds Washington realized he would have to bulk up if he wanted any chance at starting. A total package as Washington's cover skills were well developed, Washington instantly provided the aging linebackers unit with some much needed youth.
In Washington's rookie season, he registered 78 tackles, one interception, and one sack. Not great stats but nonetheless solid for a rookie starter. His play allowed the Cardinals to quickly assert him as the leader of the defense the following season, as he had a breakout campaign in 2011 with 107 tackles and 5.0 sacks. His football IQ combined with great instincts, allowed Washington to play a read and react style of play his sophomore season. However it was not until 2012, that Washington would be regarded by his peers as one of the best.
On the NFL Network's Top 100 Players of 2013, Washington was ranked No. 93. An honor that is well respected by the players themselves, as Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman spoke on Washington's play as he continues to develop into a Pro Bowl talent.
He's on a great defense. You know, he's a great part of a great defense. And I think Arizona's defense gets overlooked. Just because your not winning as much, doesn't mean you're not doing your part.
Aside from being regarded as one of the best, Washington was also selected to his first career Pro Bowl in 2012, as he racked up career-highs in both tackles and sacks with 134 and 9.0 respectively. The unquestioned leader of the defense, Washington will need to adapt to defensive coordinator Todd Bowles new 3-4 scheme. And I believe he will greatly benefit as he has the skill-set to run sideline-to-sideline.

Council members say Trayvon Martin case reminds them of NYC deaths
Council members are speaking up to say what happened to Trayvon Martin can happen in New York, too.
A dozen council members will meet at City Hall tomorrow, in hoodies and holding Skittles and iced tea, which Martin was wearing and carrying when he was shot.
Martin's parents came to New York City last week for a march in Union Square. Critics have accused the shooter, George Zimmerman, of racially profiling Martin before shooting him. Zimmerman said Martin attacked him.
On Feb. 26, Zimmerman called 911 to report "a real suspicious guy," and moments later, neighbors called to report a scuffle and Martin was dead. Police did not charge Zimmerman under the "Stand Your Ground" law that allows someone to use deadly force if they say they are threatened.
Several Council members said they connected the Martin case to deaths to New York City, saying his death strikes a chord here.
Flatbush Councilman Jumaane Williams said the NYPD's stop-and-frisk policy creates situations where New Yorkers are racially profiled by police who assume they are a criminal threat.
"The danger of New York City seeing the next Trayvon Martin-type tragedy is real — just ask the family of Ramarley Graham," Williams said.
Councilman Daniel Dromm, whose district includes Jackson Heights and Elmhurst, also said he was reminded of the Graham, his spokesman said.
Cops followed Graham, 18, into his Bronx home in February and fatally shot him in his bathroom because police thought he had a gun. He was unarmed.
Northern Manhattan Councilman Ydanis Rodriguez said the incident reminded him of John Collado, a grandfather who was shot in Inwood in September. An undercover narcotics detective shot him after he said Collado choked him while the officer confronted his neigbor. Collado's family says he did not know the undercover officer was a cop and was trying to help.
"For us, it just gets tied back to racial prejudice and the disproportionate impact that violence has on young men of color," Rodriguez spokesman David Segal told Metro.
This month, a grand jury declined to indict the officer in the Collado case, which Segal called a "big disappointment."
Councilman Daniel Garodnick, who represents the Upper East Side and Turtle Bay, said the Martin case reminded him of a crime against two Ecuadorian men in Bushwick in 2008, where three men yelled anti-gay and anti-Latino things at two brothers, then beat one with a baseball bat. Jose Sucuzhanay was killed, and Keith Phoenix and Hakim Scott were sentenced to 37 years in prison.
"Hate crimes happen everywhere and we hope those behind incidents like these are brought to justice," his spokesman David Kimball-Stanley told Metro.

Beyond the World news headlines
NATO summit sparks emotions in Germany
Judging from their comments, this week's NATO summit will be an emotional event for Germany's leading politicians — some of whom grew up on opposite sides of the Iron Curtain.
Angela Merkel, Germany's first chancellor to have grown up in communist East Germany, praised the "historic dimension" of the summit, which marks the 60th anniversary of the military alliance and comes 20 years after the fall of the Berlin Wall. "Memories of Wall and barbed wire (make us realise) Germany has to thank NATO and its allies' solidarity for a lot… Re-unified Germany celebrates 20 years of German and European happiness," the 54-year-old told parliament. Merkel said the summit, held in the French city of Strasbourg and the German towns of Kehl and Baden-Baden across the river Rhine, would take place where "German and French once stood as bitter enemies… and are now united in friendship".
Defence Minister Franz Josef Jung, 60, who grew up in West Germany, revealed his memories of NATO and the Cold War this week, telling journalists about his feelings as a young German soldier when the Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968. "If something had happened then, Germans would have stood against Germans. We were in NATO and the people now living in Germany's eastern states were in the NVA (the German Democractic Republic's military). "We were trained to stand against each other," he said. "From there, we've come to create an army of unity in Germany. That's a great achievement," he said, referring to Germany's growing role within NATO.
But although the NATO summit will be high on symbolism — its logo are elements of the bridge spanning the Rhine — the leaders meeting from Thursday will also address issues which are likely to cause friction and heated debate. NATO's relationship to Russia is a disputed question. The alliance's choice of a new head has already sparked vivid debate. And partners will discuss their strategy to solve the violent conflict in Afghanistan. U.S. President Barack Obama has already made clear he will seek fresh committments from partners for combat forces, trainers and equipment. And although the summit's two hosts, Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, have both praised the meeting as a symbol of Franco-German friendship, they have clashed on a serious of economic and foreign policy issues in past months.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Are the Pakistan Taliban charting an independent course?
For some weeks now there have been persistent reports about Taliban leader Mullah Omar, asking fighters in the Pakistani Taliban to stop carrying out attacks there and instead focus on Afghanistan where Western forces are being bolstered.
The reclusive one-eyed leader had in December sent emissaries to ask leaders of the Pakistani Taliban to settle their differences, scale down activities in Pakistan and help mount a spring offensive against the build-up of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, a report in the New York Times said as recently as last week.
Keeping an eye on the Taliban
By Jonathon Burch
"Contact at Woqab. They've made contact," says Devos calmly before running to the edge of the rooftop to have a better look into the distance with his binoculars.
"What do you mean they've made "contact"?" I ask, trying to see where his binoculars are pointed. "Small arms fire at Woqab," he says pointing beyond a line of trees in the distance. Suddenly I feel exposed, standing in the open, three storeys off the ground.
The place is Musa Qala in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province and Devos is a 26-year-old soldier from Nepal serving in the British Army's 2nd Battalion Royal Gurkha Rifles. His job is to man the lookout on top of the British base inside the district centre, about a 30-minute helicopter flight across the desert from Camp Bastion, the main British base in Helmand.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
How will Obama tackle militants in Pakistan?
Read President Barack Obama's speech on his new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan and compare it to what he said a year ago and it's hard to see how much further forward we are in understanding exactly how he intends to uproot Islamist militants inside Pakistan.
Last year, Obama said that "If we have actionable intelligence about high-level al Qaeda targets in Pakistan's border region, we must act if Pakistan will not or cannot." Last week, he said that, "Pakistan must demonstrate its commitment to rooting out al Qaeda and the violent extremists within its borders. And we will insist that action be taken -- one way or another -- when we have intelligence about high-level terrorist targets."
from UK News:
Ghost of past failure haunts G20
Stopping off in New York during a marathon, 18,000-mile diplomatic offensive before next week's G20 summit in London next week, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown recalled a conference held in eerily similar circumstances in London 76 years ago.
Sixty-six nations gathered for the June 1933 London Monetary and Economic Conference which was aimed at lifting the world's economy out of the Depression.
from Pakistan: Now or Never?:
Obama takes Afghan war to Pakistan
U.S. President Barack Obama set out his strategy to fight the war in Afghanistan on Friday, committing 4,000 military trainers and many more civillian personnel to the country, increasing military and financial aid to stabilise Pakistan and signalling that the door for reconciliation was open in Afghanistan for those who had taken to arms because of coercion or for a price.
He said the situation was increasingly perilous, with 2008 the bloodiest year for American forces in Afghanistan. But the United States was determined to "disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda in Pakistan and Afghanistan", he said, warning that attacks on the United States were being plotted even now.

Garrisons and force protection crowd out other objectives in Afghanistan
- Joshua Foust is a defense consultant who has just spent the last 10 weeks embedded with the U.S. Army in Afghanistan. He also blogs at Registan.net. Any opinions expressed are his own. -
It is a cliché that, in counterinsurgency, one must be among "the people". In Iraq, the U.S. Army did this to great effect under the leadership of General David Petraeus, moving large numbers of soldiers off the enormous bases and into smaller, community-oriented security outposts. As a result, in densely populated urban areas like Baghdad, an active presence of troops played a significant role in calming the worst of the violence. The Western Coalition forces in Afghanistan, however, face an altogether different problem. Kabul is not Baghdad - far less of Afghanistan's population lives there than in Iraq, and the insurgency is concentrated outside the country's largest urban areas. In many urban areas-Herat in the west, Jalalabad in the east, Mazar-i Sharif in the north-a westerner is far safer in the city itself than out in the countryside.
from Africa News blog:
France and Africa. New relationship?
Before Nicolas Sarkozy was elected president in 2007, he made clear he wanted to break with France's old way of doing business in Africa – a cosy blend of post-colonial corruption and patronage known as "Françafrique" that suited a fair few African dictators and the French establishment alike.
He has made the same point during his past visits to the continent.
"The old pattern of relations between France and Africa is no longer understood by new generations of Africans, or for that matter by public opinion in France. We need to change the pattern of relations between France and Africa if we want to look at the future together," Sarkozy said in South Africa early last year.
Chili's owner Brinker dishes on global expansion
Brinker International which owns casual dining restaurants Chili's Grill & Bar, Maggiano's Little Italy and On the Border brands, says that outside the United States it's on track to open about 300 outlets over the next five years which would bring it's total overseas presence to about 500…many of those are already located in the Middle East and Mexico. Even though the company's international president John Reale concedes there has been a slowdown in sales "they are still up in the high single digits" which is more than they can say in the U.S. where mid-tier chains across the board have seen comparable-store sales turn negative as consumers tighten their budgets. Reale says the biggest challenge for the remainder of 2009 is trying to understand consumer behavior, but he does see a bright spot. Prices for real estate around the world, which had prevented the company from opening in some locations, have come down "30 to 40-percent." Click here to hear what Brinker International President John Reale had to say:

Business as usual as governments crumble in E.Europe
The Czech opposition toppled Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek's minority cabinet on Tuesday in a no-confidence vote. Three days earlier, Hungary's prime minister said he would resign to let someone else pull that country out of its economic mire. Although serious, the developments were far from surprising if complaints about the economic crisis by anti-government parties and disgruntled voters were anything to go by.
But don't blame it all on the economic crisis. Even with unemployment on the rise and housing prices tanking, wobbly governments in this region are nothing new and political mayhem is still far off.

The belief backstage right now is that Cody Rhodes and Goldust will be splitting up at Elimination Chamber 2014, where the brothers are expected to be involved in a match for the WWE tag titles. A match between the two is still penciled in for Wrestlemania 30.
While many fans know that Cody Rhodes and Goldust are brothes, some do not know that they are actually half brothers. Their father is WWE legend Dusty Rhodes, but they each have different mothers. The wrestling siblings are approximately sixteen years apart in age.
Since he has one of the most impressive physiques in professional wrestling, an industry filled with well toned bodies, Scott Steiner has been asked for years about his workout program, so the former WCW star released a fitness DVD, which teaches beginning, intermediate and advanced level people.
Chris Benoit shocked the wrestling world when he was able to win the Royal Rumble and earned himself a shot at the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania. He was successfully able to eliminate the Big Show to win the match.

Warmer-than-average temperatures dominated the world's land masses in April 2012. The Northern Hemisphere had its warmest April on record.
The waning influence of La Niña helped April 2012 to become the fifth warmest April worldwide in 133 years of recordkeeping, and the warmest April on record in the Northern Hemisphere, according to scientists at NOAA's National Climatic Data Center.
The global average temperature of 57.87°F last month was about 1.2 degrees above the 20th-century average. It was the greatest departure from that average since November 2010. The Northern Hemisphere was even farther above average, running a record 1.7 degrees above the 20th-century baseline.
(MORE: La Niña: Did it Live up to Expectations?)
Earlier this month, scientists determined that La Niña had ended during April as water temperatures continued to warm across the equatorial Pacific Ocean. La Niña is typically associated with relatively cooler global temperatures.
The widespread nature of the warmth in April stood in marked contrast to March, when record-shattering warmth in most of the United States was offset by pockets of unseasonably chilly weather in Australia, Siberia, Alaska, and eastern Europe. This led to the coolest March worldwide since 1999, even as the Lower 48 registered its warmest March by far since records have been kept.
But in April, most of the Earth's land areas experienced above-average temperatures; it was the second-warmest April on record globally over the world's land masses alone. Only a few land areas were cooler than average, most notably the United Kingdom, which had its coolest April since 1989.
The contiguous U.S. had its third-warmest April on record, as we reported last week.
And while the first four months of 2012 have been the warmest on record stateside, they have been the coolest globally since 1997. In a departure from the long-term trend, sea-ice extent in the Arctic was at its highest April level since 2001, according to the National Snow and Ice Data Center.

Byers sweeps Byhalia
By CLAUDE VINSON
Anyone in Marshall County will gladly tell you that the contests between the schools in Marshall County are high entertainment.
And that premise was proven again Tuesday, Dec. 13, in the Lions' Den. And this is one of the best of the county rivalries, Byers and Byhalia. It matters not that they are a couple of degrees apart in the state classifications, these are pride games.
It has become increasingly difficult to beat the Lady Lions on their home court. This night it would be no different.
Abria Gulledge opened scoring for Byers from long range, and then the score ballooned to 12-4 from there. The Lady Lions were getting the max from their motion offense. They continued to shoot lights out in the first quarter and went up 23-10.
There was just no taming these Lady Lions in the second period. Dandy Dozen player, Alexis Hardaway, became a literal driving force. She was burning the lane up even in heavy opposition. She scored 18 points in the first half and the Lady Lions were up 43-20 at the half.
The Lady Lions were taking advantage of all of the Lady Indians' miscues after the break and turning them into points. Byhalia was held to two points in the third and Byers recorded 23 (66-22).
Byhalia was not able to stop the roaring Lady Lions in the final period although scoring was much better. The Lady Lions waltzed to an 87-39 victory.
Four shooters posted big numbers for the 8-3 Lady Lions – Hardaway with 21, Kyra Gulledge with 18, A. Gulledge with 14 and Justice Martin with 11. Dominique Rubin rounded it out with nine.
Quanisha Grayson hit 14 for the Lady Indians and Kimberly Reed pitched in 10.
Lions complete sweep
The Indians registered the first five points and Jamerson Eull excited the packed house when he slammed the next two. The Indians ran up an 11-2 lead before the Lions began to roar. They took the momentum from the visitors on back-to back-treys from Anthony Mabon and Chris Echols and owned a 16-13 lead briefly. Mabon stuck another one from long distance and they were up by three again (19-16) at the end.
Both squads upped the tempo and the hosts were maintaining a thin lead through hustle. Byers kept the heat turned up and at one point enjoyed a 13-point difference. But the Indians put on the war paint, hacked the lead down to four (43-39) just as the horn sounded for intermission.
Byers walked out in front again in the third, going to double digits. But the Indians made another surge, reducing it to four again and that would be the mark (55-51) going into the final frame.
One could sense that the Indians were planning to let the arrows fly in the ending stanza of this long-standing rivalry. Dandrick Fifer tied it at 55 early and DarionCunningham unknotted it a shot later with a trey. It was tied twice more and the Indians had a one point lead once and the Lions had one at 66-65 in less than a minute. It was touch-and-go until Jarvis Jones stuck one back in heavy traffic to give Byers the 69-65 win.
Leading the heavy hitting for Byers was Mabon with 22, Jones with 14, Echols with 13 and Cunningham with 10.
Fifer led Byhalia with 18, followed by Pat Stevenson with 16, Eull with 10 and Demarcus Confer with nine.
Byers will host the Magic City Showdown on December 22-23 (girls only) in which Byhalia will participate (see schedule in separate story this week).

This only applies to the web based client.
If you use Thunderbird or any other mail client then the account+domain.tld are in the mail headers as the From: instead of the pseudonym address because you can't login to the servers with a client unless you use account+hushdomain.tld in which case it IS your From address regardless of if that's what you want or not. They use postfix and cyrus just like I do but I believe because they are using virtual domains you HAVE to specify your full login account information. So your last point ONLY applies if using the web front end and not a client. THIS REALLY SUCKS!
So what do you do if your NOT interested in paying for business class internet connectivity to allow in bound and out bound mail ports for HOME use because your NOT running a home business!? Without exceeding the cost your currently paying for Hush's service?

Betabel RV Park
[ 8/10 ]
Betabel RV Resort is a nice, clean, friendly place to stay. The spaces are little small for the trailer,38' fifth wheel, and parking your truck in. The spaces are level and easy to set up in. The pet area is nice but would better if they were enclosed so dogs could run and get rid of some energy. Close to Monterey and Santa Cruz. Will definitely stay there again!
Vallejo, California
Trade Winds RV Park of Vallejo
[ 1/10 ]
Over the holiday weekend, Trade Winds RV Park did not answer their phone but used an answering service. The answering service was friendly and told us to go in set up and pay in the morning when the office would be open, we got to the park at 1:30 in the afternoon on Jan 1 2011. Went in the next morning to settle the bill. The lady in the office, did not get her name because she did not offer it, was extremely rude. Told I did not park my truck in the proper area, even though nothing was marked. Spaces are extremely small and not level at all, took a 4 inch block on one side too level trailer. Freeway noise was loud. Will not stay there ever again!

Cinnamon Ice Cream in MSP
- katebauer Nov 21, 2007 08:11 AM
I'm making a pumpkin cake for Thanksgiving and realized that a great cinnamon ice cream would be perfect with it. Unfortunately, I'm not an ice cream expert and haven't tried many of the choices at local places.
Does anyone know which local shops might have cinnamon ice cream (or another nice fall flavor)? Grand Ole Creamery, Pumphouse, and Sebastian Joe's are all close to me, but I'd be willing to drive a bit if those places don't have anything appropriate.
The U of M Dairy Salesroom has had cinnamon ice cream the last couple of weeks, they'll probably still have some more this afternoon (their website says they'll have a bunch of holiday flavors: cinnamon, eggnog, pumpkin, and peppermint chip). But, you'll have to pick it up between 3 and 5 this afternoon.
Izzy's usually has cinnamon ice cream, but that's quite a drive for you. It's good - they use a fancy cinnamon and lots of cream. They also have a cranberry ice cream that I love - it has orange liqueur in it, too.
I've seen quarts of cinnamon ice cream in local co-ops (Seward, Mississippi Market, and the Wedge, but I assume that the SW Mpls co-ops have some, as well). I haven't tried it yet - I wish it was available in a pint...
Good luck, and please report back - if you have time - on which you chose and whether you liked it. I *love* cinnamon ice cream!
re: AnneInMpls
Cedar Summit Farms makes a cinnamon ice cream that is sometimes sold in quarts in the co-ops, and I can tell you that it is good...but maybe not as good as Izzy's and Sebastian Joe's. It's good value anyway.
If you run out of time for running around, Lunds makes a line of ice cream under their own brand name and they are guaranteed to have that flavor in stock.
Also - Blue Sky Creamery has good Cinnamon ice cream.. they sell it at Lunds/Byerlys, but their uptown version may be more fresh (they'll probably pack it there for you).
I was just at both Izzy's and Sebastian Joe's yesterday. I was hoping for salted caramel, and the Izzy's folks were a bit snotty about not having it in stock.
Izzy's is out of cinnamon for at least the next few days - I bought the last pint. It is better than Sebastian Joe's, but SJ's is still really good.
Izzy's did have a pumpkin ice cream that is cinnamon-y, and it's to die for. SJ's pumpkin ice cream is not as good.
I just back back from the secret St. Paul campus dairy shop and picked up cinnamon and eggnog. Wow, are they good. The eggnog is actually quite strong while the cinnamon is more subtle. They had small tastings of the pumpkin pie out. I found the pumpkin flavor way too intense, almost fake tasting.
Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!

2014 is a banner year for Led Zeppelin fans, with all of the legendary heavy metal band's albums coming out in remastered deluxe editions. The first three albums, Led Zeppelin I, II, and III, are being released today.
The packages are filled with rare, previously unreleased material. They're kind of like the audio equivalent of Denny Somach's coffee-table book, Get the Led Out: How Led Zeppelin Became the Biggest Band in the World.
The book, which was recently released in paperback, features a host of rare interviews and loads of memorabilia — it's a lush package, perfect for anyone interested in immersing themselves in Zeppelin's extravagant, legendary rock and roll world.
Denny took some time out to talk to us about the book and sent along a great link of him addressing a recent Zeppelin controversy — you can read and see it all in our interview with him at http://music.squidoo.com/get-the-led-out-interview-with-author-denny-somach. If you're inspired by what you read, review a Led Zep album, or buy one — you can do both here: http://www.squidoo.com/review-your-favorite-led-zeppelin-album.
Have fun and Get the Led Out!

The Fuck-Upby Arthur Nersesian
Staff Pick
Break-ups, bad jobs, and sad literary aspirations add up to make one gritty, funny New York comedy.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Arthur Nersesian's underground literary treasure is an unforgettable slice of gritty New York City life...and the darkly hilarious odyssey of an anonymous slacker. He's a perennial couch-surfer, an aspiring writer searching for himself in spite of himself, and he's just trying to survive. But life has other things in store for the fuck-up. From being dumped by his girlfriend to getting fired for asking for a raise, from falling into a robbery to posing as a gay man to keep his job at a porno theater, the fuck-up's tragi-comedy is perfectly realized by Arthur Nersesian, who manages to create humor and suspense out of urban desperation. "Read it and howl," says Bruce Benderson (author of User), "and be glad it didn't happen to you."
"The charm and grit of Nersesian's voice is immediately enveloping, as the down-and-out but oddly up narrator of his terrific novel, The Fuck-Up, slinks through Alphabet City and gutteral utterances of love." The Village Voice
"Nersesian...writes briskly and acutely, with a good sense of detail. At least he's not a fuck-up. But this isn't exactly the 'slice of gritty New York life' promised on the cover. Despite the narrator's many astonishing escapades, it's really kind of bland." Library Journal
Follows a nameless hero from the girlfriend who kicks him out, to dismissal from his minimum wage cinema usher job, to a literary friend's couch, and back to Manhattan for a short-lived squat in a plush SoHo loft.
Doesn't the title say it all? After a series of set-backs, an unnamed slacker pretends to be gay to get a job which launches him on a darkly hilarious odyssey through New York City grit.
About the Author
Arthur Nersesian is the author of a second novel, Manhattan Loverboy. He was the managing editor of the literary magazine, The Portable Lower East Side, and has been teaching English at Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College in the South Bronx since 1990.

The NRA and other pro-gun groups in the state announced plans to push back against efforts to move forward on gun control legislation, just hours after Democrat and Republican lawmakers released their proposals.
On Monday, the NRA, along with the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the Coalition of Connecticut Sportsmen and the Connecticut Citizens Defense League will lobby lawmakers at the capitol. The groups have called on all Second Amendment supporters to join them in telling legislators they \"oppose passage of sweeping anti-gun legislation that is riddled with failed policies and infringes on the rights of law-abiding citizens.\"
East Hartford Gun store Cabela\'s will offer free parking and provide transportation to and from the event, which takes place at 10 a.m. Monday.

The Photographic Card Deck of the Elements: With Big Beautiful Photographs of All 118 Elements in the Periodic Tableby Theodore Gray
Staff Pick
This gorgeous photographic card deck is a more portable version of Theodore Gray's bestselling book The Elements, and it's just as impossible to stop flipping through. With a beautifully represented element on every card, this deck is a wonderful, unusual gift for anyone even remotely interested in science.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
A companion to the bestselling book The Elements: A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe, this beautiful photographic card deck features all 118 elements in the periodic table. One element per card appears as a full-size image on the front and fascinating information about the element on the back.
The Photographic Card Deck of The Elements is the most detailed, lush, and beautiful set of cards ever produced on the subject of the periodic table. With 126, 5"X5" cards in all, it includes one card for every one of the 118 elements, plus additional cards that explain the arrangement of the periodic table, present the elements sorted by various properties, and suggest activities and uses for the cards.
The front side of each card shows a full-size, photographic image of the element, while the back gives scientific information including atomic weight, density, melting and boiling point, valence, and the percent of the element found in the universe, in the Earth's crust, in oceans, and in humans. Graphics show melting/boiling points, density, electron configuration, and atomic radius. A fascinating fact about the element, as well as the date of its discovery, is also included.
The cards are perfect for students but also make an excellent gift for a scientist or anyone who enjoys the beauty and diversity of the natural world.
About the Author
Theodore Gray is the author of the bestselling The Elements:A Visual Exploration of Every Known Atom in the Universe and Theo Gray's Mad Science: Experiments You Can Do At Home But Probably Shouldn't, and of Popular Science magazine's "Gray Matter" column.

Fresh, bright nose of raspberry, cinnamon, spicy cranberry underpinned with notes of dark chocolate. Structurally, a more elegant style of zinfandel more along the lines of Lot 88 with the fruit profile of our Flying Winemaker Lodi Zinfandel.

Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the...Read More About Sonoma County
American Grape
Zinfandel the American - or Californian - grape. Although it's not from America

When it came down to needing a bucket, Derrick Rose did what he does best and got to the rack. Just before that, the Pacers went to what they do best when they need a score: nothing.
That was the story of crunch time in a game they lost 88-84.
The Pacers have no reliable offense. In Game 1, the pick-and-pop with Tyler Hansbrough abusing Carlos Boozer's lack of defensive acumen worked. But that's not sustainable nor has it been a bread-and-butter play for Indiana to go to when they need a score. It has been effective at times, as we saw earlier in the regular season when he was recording back-to-back career highs against the Knicks, but it's not a reliable option. At least not when the defense is keyed in it isn't, something this franchise has seen somewhat over the first 82 games in recent years, but never to this degree, in a playoff setting, in five seasons.
Danny Granger is an excellent scorer throughout a game. And we saw tonight that when he can get separation — on occasion, something he can manufacture by himself — he is a big time shooter. He was stellar throughout the fourth quarter and did enough to keep his team in a position to win. In the regular season, much like he did tonight, he hits the shots that he should make. But he never has been, nor will he ever be, a guy you can give the ball to and say "score." He is gritty, confident and willing. He is a cocky guy who will never doubt his ability to be a top-line scorer in this league. Making something happen when there is nothing there, however, is simply not his forte as a basketball player. He does many very-good things on offense, but that is just not one of them. And that's OK.
But for this team, one that has no reliable post game and no reliable penetrators and no reliable offensive sets when points are their most difficult to find, Granger is going to take the rap for not getting a better shot on that final Pacers set. I'm sure he's fine with this. It's his team and he, therefore, should and will take a lot of the blame for not being something he isn't.
But this team played high-level defense in a lose throughout most of the 48 minutes played tonight. They again hung with a better team. They just simply, again, fell victim to their own fatal flaws — as well as a series of back-breaking buckets from Bulls MVP (tonight) Luol Deng and Kyle Korver.
Deng, who scored 21 while playing nearly the whole game, hit several huge shots in all quarters, one of which that was particularly deflating as the shot clock was waning while the Pacers played good D for 23 seconds. And Korver was, again, the X-factor. He hit 5 of the 6 shots he took. His threes exhilarated the Bulls offense, sure, but most evident of how good a game this historically great shooter just had was the possession during which AJ Price closed out well to challenge a shot he had behind the line, and he simply faked the three, dribbled in and hit a banker from 10 feet. That's poise. That's control. That's winning basketball.
The story of Game 3 is going to come down to Rose's Hall of Fame-level drive on the Bulls' last significant offensive possession. And I guess that's fine. He stared down Dahntay Jones, who played very good basketball tonight, and didn't settle for anything the Pacers wanted him to do, instead getting all the way to the hoop for a lay-up. It was his 4th field goal of the evening, and two of this others were tough threes that the Pacers were happy to let him shoot. Good on him for making those two tough looks and way-uber-good on him for doing what he does best in winning time.
But it wasn't Derrick Rose that beat Indiana tonight.
What beat them was their own inability to create good offense when it matters. What beat them was a superior team that through the gutsy, unwavering will of its superior player — and I don't just mean on the court in this game, I mean perhaps superior to any other player in the NBA right now — made a play just seconds after the Pacers proved unable to do so.
Going back to earlier in the game rather than focusing on the final minute, however, Indiana competed very well. They even played well at times while doing this.
They did a lot of what they needed to do defensively in the first half, for example. Deng and Rose hit some big threes that buoyed the Bulls shooting percentage and point total, but they trapped Derrick effectively in the pick-and-roll and, most importantly, kept Chicago off of the offensive glass — finally. They only gave up 4 offensive boards on 19 missed shots. Chicago still managed to get a 9-0 edge on second chance points, which means they did convert their opportunities, but they did have fewer chances than they had been averaging by a large margin. Indiana also forced 12 turnovers, which was huge and helped them get a 10-3 advantage in transition points, including 6-0 in the second quarter.
They were also aggressive on both ends, forcing the refs to make calls, many of which went in their favor. All four of the Bulls starters who deserve to be NBA starters (you know who you are, Keith Bogans) finished the half with 2 fouls. This only translated to 7 Indy free throw attempts in the opening half, as both the calls against Rose and multiple others were offensive fouls on Chicago, but it set a tone in which the Pacers stayed physical. And Deng picked up his third early in the third while trying to prevent George from putting down a highlight dunk on the break.
What I'm trying to get at here is that Indiana did not play the type of timid, jump-shooting game that we have seen so often throughout the past six months. Anyone who saw the fouls handed out by, and general presence of, veterans Jeff Foster and Dahntay Jones can attest to this. Even the somewhat-hobbled Darren Collison was not backing down by any means. Tyler and Danny never relented. Josh McRoberts had an excellent first half. Paul George appeared to relish the challenge of guarding Derrick Rose and applied pressure all night.
It's just that none of this was enough on a night when several Bulls players kept making the plays necessary to stay in control of the game. That's unfortunate, but not unexpected.
Ultimately, once again, in the midst of what is, and always was, probably an un-winnable series in terms of talent, Game 3 showed shades of what Pacers fans should be excited about in the years to come. The Bulls as a cohesive team are so far beyond where the Pacers are right now that talking about the clutch stuff, the times when good teams loaded with talent truly separate themselves from those middling squads with some guts, isn't all that relevant here.
Derrick did what no one on the Pacer is able to do. Granger isn't capable of that stuff. And everyone else on this roster is so incapable of it that mentioning them by name isn't even necessary.
But for the third straight game, the Pacers had a chance to win late. This despite everything mentioned (and all the best efforts Roy Hibbert made during his his 24 minutes to prevent this from happening, it must be documented).
And that's something almost no one on this planet, including the guy typing this sentence, thought was possible. That seems like something Indiana — and its fans — can hold their heads high about.

As Wefiends (Our small band of 3 Game Devs) continues making progress on Dandy (Our new game) I feel like I should write some stuff about it.
Dandy's a remake of a terrible old flash game I made when I was 15. The theme i'm exploring with the game is taking old things and making them new. It's a schmup, in the vein of R-type and Gradius, but made through a lens of incredulity toward the archetypal game design choices the genre carries.
The image above is the third revision of the first area of the game. One of the things I always loved about Gradius was that there weren't any transitions between stages. The game relied heavily on repeated play throughs and memorization for the player to make any progress. If you lost all your lives, you'd start back at the beginning. After dying over and over, progress felt very impactful. You were seeing something new in the background or some new enemy every time you lived a little longer than the last time. When you'd start over it was immediately clear where your last threshold had been and when you would cross it. There were other indicators such as your score and stage titles, but they felt kind of vestigial.
This design choice stands at stark contrast with other games where progress is delineated by separate levels/stages. The language used to describe the scenario seems to change to a frame outside of the game. "I got pretty far into level 1," versus "I got to the point with the mushrooms floating in the sky". It's important that players thoughts and emotions are linked 1:1 to the avatar they control (even if through abstraction), for me that's what makes a great game. All sorts of player thoughts change with separate levels. The players goal becomes to get to the end of each stage, instead of a new place. Progress also becomes incredibly concrete in a way that limits the feeling of discovery. When you know there are only 5 levels, you know how close the end is. I'm not saying this is bad design, because levels are very near and dear to games, but that it is "design" and that levels need to be implemented carefully and purposefully.
Dandy is what i'll call a rogue-esque (rogue-like-like twice removed). It's got sorta random enemies and sorta random power-ups, along with perma-death. Because of this, you'll be starting over from the beginning a lot. There isn't much memorization involved, but there's a lot of learning. For this reason it calls for the same tricks Gradius employed. The background marks your progress in the game. There are no levels or scores. Just the background and the speed you move through it.

Full Disclosure
mailing list archives
As someone who has had to recommend policy in both government and private sectors, I would say that there IS a
SOLUTION within the laws, both existing and proposed:
Corporate or Business Entity networks belong to the entity, not to the employee.
Network security personnel who are accountable and responsible for ALL security breaches must, necessarily, be able to
monitor ALL traffic on their network.
Most entities have the appropriate notification up that all network use is subject to monitoring, as is correct.
Employees should not use corporate resources for personal business or personal emails. If one has personal business not
appropriate to corporate monitoring, they should use personal email during personal time.
That being said, most entities do not directly view all network traffic, all websites visited, or all emails, but
usually have the capability to do so if a 'key word' type monitor is tripped.
The concept is not difficult - look at the discussions of technology, ethics, and legalities behind the "Eche***" and
"Carni****" monitoring programs...
So it is *usually* not considered improper to log into your website email during breaks or lunch (if you are allowed
internet access at all); nor is it considered improper to use your personal wireless laptop or iPhone on any public
network as long as they are not connected to the entity network, or to check your email at home after work....
...And then there are some places the employers just don't care to go unless there is extreme reason. For example,
complete camera surveillance of entity property is allowable, but I have not yet seen camera coverage include bathroom
stalls unless there is a specific need for it...
Warm Regards,

A Multi-Textured Garden
The experts at HGTV.com show how to create a textured, modern garden.
The plants you choose for your garden will depend on your taste and the style you want to achieve, but there are some basic rules about placing and grouping them that are relevant to all designs.
A link to %this page% was e-mailed
Specimen trees and shrubs look great as individual statements, but bulbs and perennials have greater impact when planted en masse. Bulbs are best planted in large groups of 10 or more if you have space weave them between later-flowering plants. Perennials work well in swathes of five or more. You can achieve a naturalistic design by interlocking sausage-shaped groups together, or for a modern look, plant in more regimental square or rectangular shapes. You can also add rhythm and continuity to your design by repeating the same plants throughout the garden, and try combining contrasting leaf shapes as well as flower colors for a rich, textured look.
Creative contrasts
Although the predominant color in this border is green, the bold groups of perennials with contrasting leaf shapes and forms more than compensate for the limited color palette.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 (UPI) — Microscopic animals that live in soils are as diverse in arid grasslands or the tundra and woodlands as in lush tropical forests, a U.S. study says.
Scientists have generally accepted that a wider range of species that live above ground can be found at the equator than at the Earth's poles, but the same doesn't hold true for species that prefer a life under the surface, a release from the National Science Foundation said Monday.
A team of NSF-funded ecologists studied the global distribution of soil animals such as nematodes and mites across a broad range of ecosystems from the tropics to the poles.
Soil samples were collected at such diverse as a tropical forest in Costa Rica, arid grassland in Kenya, warm temperate forest in New Zealand, shrub steppe of Argentina, and tundra and boreal forest of Alaska and Sweden.
Researchers found that each location had a diversity of soil animals, including an "amazing diversity of species" that had never been discovered before, Jim Garey at the University of South Florida said.
However, each ecosystem has its own particular species of soil animals, the researchers said.
"This challenges the long-held view that these smaller animals are widely distributed," Diana Wall of Colorado State University said.
"However, unlike most above-ground organisms, there was no indication that latitude made a difference in soil animal diversity."
