California Cooler, founded in Stockton in 1981 and which sparked a national wine cooler craze before fading away at the end of that decade, is being brought back by an independent alcoholic beverage company in Danville.
California Cooler, founded in Stockton in 1981 and which sparked a national wine cooler craze before fading away at the end of that decade, is being brought back by an independent alcoholic beverage company in Danville.
Majestic Brands, which also produces liquor-based flavored drinks such as Glacier Bay and Jason & Larry's Evil Spirits, touts the new California Cooler line as the only nationally distributed wine-and-juice based refreshment beverage. Targeted to sell for $8 per six-pack, it is being introduced in California and the western United States this month and later this spring in the rest of the nation.
The original California Cooler was a rocket ride from its founding in 1981, when Lodi High School friends, Michael Crete and R. Stuart Bewley, and their original partners scraped together $140,000 to begin commercial production. By 1985, it was selling a reported 12.3 million cases a year worth $125 million, the same year the company was purchased by liquor giant Brown-Foreman Inc. in a deal valued at up to $146 million.
But competition from giants such as E&J Gallo Winery, with its Bartles & Jaymes coolers, and Seagram's took its toll, as did a shift in consumers' fickle tastes. Overall wine-cooler sales dropped 12 percent in 1988 from 1987 and by then California Cooler volume had dropped to 5 million cases, less than one-third of what Seagram's and Gallo each were moving.
In early 1989, Brown-Foreman shut down the Stockton production plant and sold bottling rights to Stroh Co. of Detroit.
Jason Kane, president and chief executive of Majestic Brands, said he seemed destined to revive the pioneer wine-cooler brand.
During summer breaks from his studies at Central Catholic High School in Modesto in the mid-1970s, he began working at Gallo and by the early 1980s was involved in launching Bartles & Jaymes in the Southern California market. He has also worked on Seagram's cooler program and is a former president of Mark Anthony Group Inc., the Canadian-based producer of Mike's Hard Lemonade.
"This was almost inevitable to get involved and bring back the king that started it all, California Cooler," Kane said Thursday by telephone.
Suzanne Walchli, associate professor at University of the Pacific's Eberhardt School of Business, said the public could be ready for a California Cooler revival.
"There's an enormous popularity of alcoholic beverages lately that are fruit flavored," she said Thursday. "This should appeal to a pretty broad audience."
As far as using an old brand name for such a product, Walchli added, "It could be welcomed back as a nostalgic beverage or it could be 'been there, done that.'"
Kane said the product is being widely accepted by beer distributors, who are looking for something new among the flavored beverage that are currently dominated by malt liquor-based mixes, also called malternatives.
"If you look at the malternatives that are out there ... there's been a decline in consumption and sales, so the distributors are really excited about having something come in that can really jumpstart that category," he said.
"The new California Cooler, in contrast, will be the only nationally available brand to use real wine and juice as well as infused natural fruit flavors."
Kane and his partner, Larry Davenport, Majestic chief operating officer, began their own company (originally called Refreshment Brands Inc.) in 1999 with Glacier Bay, a flavored drink made with premium vodka.
In 2004, they come up with a hit with another ready-to-drink liquor brand called Cocktails by Jenn. After quickly ratcheting up millions of dollars in sales, Barton Brands Ltd., a division of Constellation Brands, bought the Cocktails by Jenn brand in October 2005.
Jason's and Larry's Evil Spirits, drinks based on rum, tequila and vodka, were introduced last fall. This summer the company expects to roll out Cortejo Tequila, a super-premium tequila, and Entice, a vodka-based raspberry crème liqueur imported from Holland.
California Cooler is being produced under license from Brown-Foreman.

I used a few other brands of BB Cream before and was never happy. However, I decided to try this as I generally like No7 cosmetics and use the No7 Beautifully Matte Foundation on a daily basis. But I ended up very disappointed. The only good thing I can say about this cream is that the colour matches my skin very well and the coverage is nice. But it's oily!!! My skin looks oily from the moment I apply this and setting it with a mattifying powder only works for 30min or so then the oiliness starts seeping through. Granted, it does not claim to control oil but since it's designed for oily skin, I'd expect it to at least have a matte finish. Anyway, I know a lot of other reviewers like it but for me it doesn't work at all.

My HG face product. When I go out at night I use this and a bit of powder (sometimes) and my skin is flawless. Does it all: make skin glow, hide pores, make any redness disappear. And easy to apply with hands. Have bought it maybe 4 times now, and cannot live without. Before switching up my skincare routine I used it everyday, but now only a few times a month, when I need a little extra boost! LOVE LOVE LOVE!

This is an okay BB cream to use; the box states it gives light/medium coverage, but I would actually say it leans more towards medium coverage than light, as I definitely don't need to use a large amount to see a difference in my skin tone. It applies easily (I use my fingers but I'm guessing you could apply this with a brush if you preferred) and I've not noticed it settling into any fine lines or around my nose either, which is always a plus point in my book!
I'm fairly light skinned and I think the colour match is pretty good. The sales assistant actually recommended the medium shade to me, but I thought that was too dark and had the potential to make me look orange. This shade definitely gives me good colour once it's blended, but it also helps to give my skin a little bit of a glow, like I've been out in the sun for a few hours and just look a bit healthier!
I think the one downside to this and the main reason for my 3/5 lippies is that it does tend to make my skin look and feel oilier as the day progresses. Which isn't great when you consider this is supposed to be for normal/oily skin. Much like the Tarte BB Cream which I also use, when I use this one I definitely notice I have to use more blotting sheets during the day, especially on warmer days.
For the price - £13.50 - I don't think I would be tempted to repurchase this. I'm still on the lookout for my HG BB cream and sadly, this isn't it.

This bb cream is great especially when it is coming summer as it is very light and isn't cakey. I wear this for school sometimes as it stays in place all day even though I do use powder on top of it. I feel it isn't too thick and if I am warm it doesn't make my face feel sticky I am definitely gonna re-purchase this product.

I have found myself using this BB cream almost every day during the warmer months. As previously stated, it is a sheer, luminous foundation. Although the SPF is low, it has 5 star UVA protection so helps to protect against ageing caused by sun damage. I have only given it four stars because, even though I have sensitive-combination skin that is slightly oily in the T-zone, I find that it disappears if I don't set it with powder (my preference is BM Mineral Veil). I love the fact that it doesn't irritate my super sensitive skin and doesn't clog pores so is perfect for anyone who suffers from breakouts. Be warned: the colour is very ashy when first out of the tube but once blended looks natural and helps to even out skin-tone/cover redness. For reference, I am NC15/20 and the colour is spot on. The result is a natural 'my face but better' finish but you will need concealer or a fuller coverage foundation if you need to hide any imperfections. I like the light-weight tube packaging as it is hygienic, easy to control the amount you dispense and is travel friendly. I will definitely be repurchasing as it is superior to other premium brands I have tried and a lot less expensive :-D
FYI: when purchasing this cream at the No7 counter, the SA stated that, unlike other BB creams, you do not need to apply moisturiser under this product. I treat it as more of a foundation and still use moisturiser but I guess that's personal preference.

Love it. Would probably be too oily for a lot of complexions, but great on an aging skin. Colour spot on. Always use suncreen first though, live in the supposedly "cancer capital" (meaning skin cancer) of the world! Gives a lovely smooth finish and a translucent shine, allowing natural skin tones to show. Keeps in moisture and lasts in spite of the high humidity (sub-tropical climate). I just use it on my nose and under my eyes as, these days, have good skin owing to a wonderful beauty clinic and excellent skin care products. Great value for money. My only beef is that it's not available in Australia and I have to wait to travel to England to buy it (once a year).

Having tried all sorts of BB creams this one definitely comes out on top! Perfect at keeping oil down-if you get a greasy T-Zone! Plus the price is fantastic(around £10 ish). There's no overpowering smell with this cream either. As I'm a new mum I find it quick to apply as no need for moisturiser. I would apply a powder to combat the slightly glossy look if required. The colour is nice and natural, coverage wise if your skin is pretty good this is a nice finisher, if you have bad skin it's not going to fully cover up spots ..you'll need a concealer on top
I only wish the SPF was higher than 15, have to wear my Estee Lauder BB cream on sunnier days, however it's nowhere near as good, heavily perfumed and three times the price...only upside is that it does have SPF 35! NO.7 at boots are getting a lot of stuff right. I'm impressed. However to guard against ageing sun effects, a higher SPF is needed- using in the UK shouldn't be a problem ..9 times out of ten it's not sunny!

Before I review I want to remind you that this isn't a foundation so don't expect much coverage, BB creams are designed to give you a no makeup/natural look, so if you want coverage go for a foundation instead or use a concealer as well.
I bought this after my holiday, I have a oily t-zone and found that this product was oil free, having said this it doesn't control the oil and you will need to reapply powder throughout the day to keep that matte look otherwise it can be quite oily looking. However as a BB cream it is good, gives you a primer/moisturiser/tint for a no makeup dewy look. Nice with powder and bronzer on top. Doesn't give any coverage.

I purchased this Beautiful Skin BB Cream in normal /dry medium.
I love it, was very surprised with the coverage, great skin match for me, good texture and lasts all day. Good price too as my previous tinted moisturiser was Bobby Brown at double the price. I thought I'd do a trial of this one to see how it went, so now I'm a convert.Very happy.

I have never tried a BB cream as good as this one. I love the formula and it has no sent at all, witch is always a plus. It has less coverage than a foundation but more coverage than a tinted moisturizer. I works fantastic for layering, but don't expect it to cover acne 100%. You need a concealer with this.
I bought the one for normal/oily skin, witch is a true state. It is not perfect if you have super oily skin, because BB creams are supposed to be quite hydrating anyway.
The color has a bit of a grey tone before applied, but it blends beautifully into the skin, and I am very very fair. (NC15 in mac coloring).
My skin is quite sensitive to new products, but this has not broken me out, witch is amazing!

Storage Sharing Etiquette for Roommates: How To Master Splitting the Fridge & Other Small Spaces
Refrigerator, bathroom cabinets, the small storage real estate in the shower — they're tough enough spots to deal with in small homes when you're using them solo. Combine with another person living in the space, a roommate or a spouse, and you've doubled the trouble of trying to keep your small storage spaces functional. But, there are some rules anyone can stick to when it comes to making sharing these tight spots easier.
Decide on — and lay out — ground rules before sharing begins
Do you really, really hate when people use your lotion or dip into your shredded cheese? Let your roommate or partner know that before you guys start storing toiletries together in the bathroom cabinet or your groceries in the fridge. Designating shelves and sides is a good way of organizing small spaces shared by more than one person, but laying out your preferences is important (because some people are a little more casual with using shared items than others).
Use labels
If you don't designate shelves or sides (and maybe even if you do), you might consider labeling items. Not so much so that the people sharing the space know the difference, but so that guests who visit your space know the difference (I've definitely had a roommate's boyfriend dig into my food not realizing it was mine and not his girlfriend's!). You don't have to pull out a label maker every time you want to put leftovers in the fridge, but a sharpie on take-out containers can help.
Use proper containers
You might consider covering this in the rule-determining phase, but "improper" containers, for food especially, can be a spot of contention between people sharing small storage spaces. Throwing half-open to-go containers or open cans of vegetables in the fridge without any cover can lead to food spoiling quicker as well as making the fridge smell. Respecting the sanctity of the small storage space means taking the extra step of making sure what you put in your small space is properly stored.
Don't leave bottles open
I once had a roommate who never closed any of the shower product bottles. They'd leave the flip-tops open and any screw tops just barely balancing on top. The result? I'd knock over every container each shower, inevitably spilling half the contents down the drain before I was able to grab it up off the bottom of the shower and re-close. If you've got a bad habit of doing the same — whether in the shower, in the bathroom cabinets or in the fridge, consider closing your containers a little more securely before tucking away.
Ask permission before re-organizing
Got bit by the organization or cleaning bug? Your roommate or spouse will no doubt appreciate your efforts, but they'll appreciate even more a head's up if you decide on dramatically rearranging the locations of products and objects they use often. Since many people have a routine and even a preferred way in which they get ready in the morning, cook, etc., you could really be messing with the way storage functions for someone.
Keep your part clean and regularly decluttered
You know how sometimes you're digging through the back of the fridge and you come across something unidentifiable that is definitely way past its expiration date? Yeah, don't be the person who does that to a shared fridge. But also don't let a string of late work-mornings clutter up the shared bathroom counters, cabinets and drawers, making it harder for whoever shares that space to use and get ready in. Like all parts of the home, keep your area as decluttered as you can regularly.
What else would you add to this list? Do you have any lessons you've learned from sharing small storage spaces that you would like to share with Apartment Therapy readers?

"We feel like you are all part of our family! I hope we can remain with you for a very long time. Thanks for helping our children understand about their dental health"
Michelle B.
"Have you heard of the movie, "Encino Man?" Well, Dr. Marilyn Calvo is the "Encino Woman!" I have been going to Dr. Calvo for four years now, and I wouldn't consider going anywhere else. Her whole office radiates such professionalism, warmth, and friendliness. She is so very thorough that even the tiniest cavity can't get past her. She is truly and artist. So, if you are wise, head out west on Ventura Blvd. to Dr. Marilyn Calvo, the very BEST!"
Bill A.
"Dr. Calvo is not just the most amazing dentist I have ever known, but she is the most amazing down to earth person. I was lucky to discover Dr. Calvo through a friend who highly recommended her. I got veneers done with her and they look AMAZING!! Everyone is jealous of how great my smile is. When I first went in to see her I was blown away with how much attention she paid to me. She always makes sure to spend time with her patients' one on one and explain exactly what is going on to make sure you are aware."
"In my past, I went to dentists who never explained anything and just did the routine cleaning without emotion and passion. Dr. Calvo has so much passion and knowledge for the services she provides. She is definitely a dentist who genuinely cares and improves the lives of people around her. I am so grateful to have her. The staff that works with Dr. Calvo are the nicest people I have ever known. I look forward to going to the dentist for the first time in my life."

On one fall night.. In some garage.. Somewhere in America, a group of friends got hungry, and began the classic; "Where are we going to eat? What are we going to eat? What's open right now?" conversation.
They began to search through phones, laptops, and brains for solutions, and just like every time before, they hit the wall. You know what that wall was? Hunger, anger, and disbelief that this group of friends could not find open restaurants to decide where to eat.
Long story short, they ended up not going out to eat.
That was the "AH-HA!" moment and the birth of Decide-N-Dine™
"Struggling to find open restaurants and deciding where or what someone wants to eat is a universal dilemma. We also understand that the public needs an effective solution to this problem. Deciding what you want to eat and where you should eat should no longer be a universal dilemma; it is unacceptable. Those days are over and that is why we created Decide-N-Dine. We are going to bridge the gap between finding open restaurants and deciding where to eat." – Co-Founders of HOMic, LLC, Marko Maksimovic and Joseph O'Brien.
For The People
Decide-N-Dine is the fun, efficient, and aesthetically pleasing way for everyone to decide where or what to eat by engaging in "The Restaurant Shuffle." It provides a view into open restaurants in the area, along with menus, photos, contact info, and directions on how to get there. As a restaurant appears on the screen, users swipe right if they want more information. Swipe left, a new random restaurant will appear on the screen.
Restaurants can be stored and diners need never worry about a restaurant being closed. Decide-N-Dine removes the clutter of long lists and misleading reviews and focuses on what really matters; finding where and what to eat.
For Restaurants
Decide-N-Dine ultimately wants to focus on daily specials and promotions that restaurants have to offer in order to provide hard to find information for customers. This is what makes us unique. We have about 500,000 restaurants in our backend, which will continue to grow every day. Our interactive platform serves as an information portal about restaurants along with a service that shines the light on one restaurant at a time.
Since each restaurant is featured one at a time, it is up to the restaurant to update their specials, menus, and photos to make sure they shine the brightest. Restaurants can sign-up for a backend by going to https://customers.decidendine.com/
Decide-N-Dine is available for iPhone users on the App Store for immediate download at https://itunes.apple.com/app/decide-n-dine/id1159785256.
Decide-N-Dine will also be available for Android users soon.View Interactive Press Pack

|This article, Prorok, was written by Dragonclaws. Please do not edit this fiction without the writer's permission.
|This article, Prorok, is currently under active construction.
- Warning: Big spoilers for Halo 3: Ascension. Read that first!
Prorok (also called The First) is the Kahini (Prophet) leader responsible for the creation of the Covenant, ending the long cycle of war with the Sangheili. He was the first Prophet of Truth and sought immortality through both legend and transsentience. With the construction of the Luminous Key, he attempted to upload his mind and become an artificial intelligence construct. Whether or not the resulting AI was in fact Prorok and not a second being is a matter of debate amongst philosophers, with Sangheili historians classifying both entities as one in the same while Human historians are less likely to out of a disbelief in transsentience.
Creation of the Covenant
Drawn to the ancient Forerunner ruins at the edge of Kahini land, he was among the first scientists to begin to understand the alien glyphs. After reading what he believed to be a description of the Forerunners ascending into godhood, he tried to convince the Union of Knowledge to invest all their resources into discovering the path to godhood. The scientist council wouldn't hear of it, however, what with the war against the Sangheili being so popular.
Forced to research the project out of his own pocket, the Kahini sought the assistance of the trader Nabi. Nabi, a fellow Kahini, was inspired by Prorok's promise of divinity and helped the scientist acheive his goal through financial support. With Nabi's help, Prorok was able to decode a section of the Forerunner language and open a locked door.
Inside the room, he discovered a long box with the imprint of a gem on the top. Nabi recognized it as the rijeh, a treasured possession of the Sangheili Council of Arbiters. Knowing that the rijeh would be taken as a trophy when the Kahini made seige on Segweyay, the Sangheili capital city, later that year, Prorok sent a servant to persuade Arbiter Koli 'Hodmilee to give him the gem in exchange for helping him acheive immortality.
The Arbiter rejected Prorok's offer, and the Kahini had to temporarily abandon the box when the Union ordered him to devote his research into finding military improvements. Confident that the Forerunners would have left something of use, he focused his efforts on translating the blood-colored texts. He determined that the Forerunners did have enemies and fought against them, making the Union put pressure on him to find weapons.
In the dead of night, Prorok snuck outside the country in search of a Sangheili temple that was rumored to have been built over a Forerunner structure. Mascarading as a slave, he entered the temple and forced his way into the cellar. The monks tried to stop him, but they shrank back as he opened a door into the Forerunner structure.

May was a busy month for us, celebrating 3 graduations of various family members. I'm terrible and have no pictures from any of them! But, congratulations to my sweet cousin Hannah, graduating high school and headed off to Abilene Christian in the fall; to my little brother Christian, graduating high school and off to Stephen F. Austin in the fall; and finally to my awesome sister-in-law Lela, graduating college with honors from the University of Houston!
We managed a visit to see my dad and his wife Angela - we don't get to see them very often, but we had a big family get-together that weekend after my brother's graduation, and Avery had fun playing on the swing, running around with all the aunts and uncles, looking for turtles in the pond, and finding golf balls with Mam-maw. Eleanor didn't sleep at all the night we were there, which means neither did I. She also stuck close by my side the whole time. Thankfully both girls were very well-behaved at the actual graduation, which I wasn't sure how they'd act since it was their 3rd one in a matter of a few weeks.

by The Rev. Dan Feusse
"Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven." Acts 1:11 (NKJV)
In the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed, you confess these things about Jesus: that He was born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. You confess that on the Third Day He rose again from the dead, He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty.
Each of these things you confess about Jesus are important for you. That means that the Ascension of our Lord is every bit as important for you as Christmas, Good Friday and Easter. When Jesus was born, He accomplished something for you. The Word became Flesh and dwelt among us. And so we celebrate Christmas. When Jesus suffered and died, He accomplished something for you. The Lamb of God bled and took away the sin of the world. And so we celebrate Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. When Jesus rose from the grave, He accomplished something for you. Death was swallowed up in victory. And so we celebrate Easter.
When Jesus ascends into heaven, He also accomplishes something for you. He takes His resurrected and glorified Body and, as true God and true Man, He ascends into heaven to be seated at the right hand of the Father. Christmas. Good Friday. Easter. Ascension. They all go together. And they all are important for your salvation. You know much about Christmas. You know much about Good Friday. And you know much about Easter. But what makes the Ascension of Jesus so important for you? Two things: first, that Jesus ascended bodily into heaven; and second, that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father.
Where your Savior goes, so you go. Or, how it goes for Jesus is how it goes for you. Did Jesus suffer on account of the sins of this world? So will you. Was Jesus persecuted because He loved His Father and carried out His will? So will you. Did Jesus die? So will you. Did Jesus rise bodily from the grave? So will you. Did Jesus ascend bodily into heaven? So will you.
At the end of all things, after your mortal body has been buried in the ground, St. Paul tells you this from 1 Thessalonians 4: "…then the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first." Just as Jesus had His resurrection, so you will have your resurrection. But St. Paul doesn't stop there. He continues: "Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord." Just as Jesus had His ascension, so you will have your ascension. And Just as Jesus ascended Bodily, so will you.
Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father. But that doesn't mean that Jesus has gone away and left you to fend for yourself. It doesn't mean that Jesus is sitting up in heaven with His Father, the two of them side-by-side in big LaZBoy recliners, just passing the time and watching the world go by.
Many Christians think exactly that way. Many Christians think that because Jesus has now ascended to the right hand of the Father that He is no longer here. And because they believe that, they think and act accordingly. Those Christians who think Jesus is no longer here often live their lives in despair, wondering why God has left them to fend for themselves - wondering if any of God's promises are really for them.
And those Christians who think that Jesus is no longer here also conduct their worship accordingly. For them, the Lord's Supper is simply a memorial meal - a gathering together of Christians to fondly remember a time when Jesus was with us. But this is not what is going on with the Ascension of Jesus to the right hand of the Father. The "right hand of the Father" is not a place. It is a figure of speech. It is the position of honor, power and glory. And it is more. St. Luke tells you in Acts chapter 5: "God has exalted Jesus to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins." St. Paul tells you in Romans chapter 8: "Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us." The fact that Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father is great news for you! Jesus and His Dad are not sitting in their recliners, taking it easy in some distant heaven far away from you.
Because Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, He continually intercedes for you, and always bringing you before His Father. The right hand of the Father is also His merciful hand. The right hand of the Father is His helping hand. The right hand is the hand of blessing. And it is with His right hand that He feeds you and sustains you. To say that Jesus is now seated at the right hand of the Father is to say that mercy, help, blessing and nourishment now are all yours - because Jesus has now ascended to give them to you. And there's yet one more thing about the right hand. In Holy Scripture, the heir to the kingdom always sits at His Father's right hand.
Remember, where Jesus goes, so you go. In Holy Baptism, you have been joined to your Savior in His death and in His resurrection. But even more. In Holy Baptism, you have also been joined to your Savior in His ascension. Simply put, that means that just as Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, so will you. And just as Jesus has been given the kingdom of heaven, so have you.
Yes, Jesus has now ascended into heaven. But that does not mean He is not here. His ascension simply shows that heaven - His proper place and home - is now your proper place and home. Jesus broke not only the gates of Hell that kept you in, but He broke down the gates of heaven that kept you out. He has now gone before you and paved the way into His Father's kingdom.
Jesus, who was born bodily as a baby in Bethlehem, who was nailed Bodily to the cross, who rose bodily from the grave, and who ascended bodily into heaven - is still with you as He comes with that same body to you in the Sacrament of the Altar.
One final thought: whenever the angels appear, something important is happening. The angels were there the night Jesus was born. The angels attended to our Lord in the Garden of Gethsemane. The angels were there at the empty tomb. Once again the angels are there when Jesus ascends into heaven. When you come to the Lord's Table, guess who's there - all the angels, arch-angels and all the company of heaven. Why then would you stand gazing up into heaven as if Jesus had gone away? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, is still here for you. And from the Father's right hand He is bringing you mercy, help, comfort and every blessing. And from the Father's right hand He is delivering to you eternal life.

...it is impossible to photograph three rambunctious, unruly, untrained bullies at once. I consider myself a reasonably decent photographer, but getting a shot of the girls that's passable, never mind good, eludes me. Taking pics by yourself is useless, as you're instantly bowled over by the three of them, who are all frantic to be the one that gets closest to you, and gets in the most licks. Unfailingly, you end up covered in scratches, clobbered, knocked down, slimed with big Pit Bull tongue, and with nose prints on your lense.
Having an assistant is no better - you just get photos of them undergoing the same treatment! The problem is the girls, developmentally, are puppies. They act just like a litter of 8-10 week old pups, with the same level of enthusiasm and oblivion to where their feet and bodies are. However, unlike 8-10 week old puppies, they weigh between 45 and 60 lbs - oof!
Anyhow, here are a handful of the photos I took at SAINTS on Monday. The girls are having fun and on the mend, which is what matters. They're going into individual foster this coming weekend, so we should be able to get some better pictures then.

I have had a hard time trying to solve the following problem. I would be pleased if anyone can help me on this:
There are m open boxes, each of which can contain at most one ball. There is a ball throwing machine that fires a total of n balls towards the boxes, one by one. For each box, the probability that when the machine throws a ball, the ball falls onto that specific box, is 1/m (equal for each box). The thrown ball will always fall onto one of the boxes. However, the probability that the ball will actually fall into any box is less than 1 after the first throw (provided that n > 1), because a box which is already filled with a ball (from the previous throw(s)), will prevent the thrown ball from falling into that box. Call this a collision. Assume that a thrown ball, which collides with one of the balls in a box, simply disappears.
I need a formula with which I can calculate the expected number of collisions, given m boxes and n balls.
Thanks in advance.

Just a little heads up for any of you local folks that read the blog. I'm having a stall at the Denzell Gardens Book Festival in Altrincham, Cheshire this Saturday.
I will be offering free crafts for little ones and selling all of my Cupcakes for Clara products too.
It's funny because last year Tom did a talk at this festival about his first book, and this year the lovely folks at Waterstones have asked me to have a stall. It's becoming a Clempson tradition!
If you are in the area and fancy popping by, definitely say hello to Clara and me. It would be lovely to see you!

It is very hard for the average person in the street to come to a sensible conclusion on peak oil. It's a subject that prompts a passionate polarisation of views. The peak oilists sometimes sound like those extraordinary Christians with sandwich boards proclaiming that the end of the world is nigh. In contrast, the the international economic establishment – including the International Energy Agency (IEA) – has one very clear purpose in mind at all times: don't panic. Their mission seems to be focused on keeping jittery markets calm.
Faced with these options the majority of people shrug their shoulders in confusion and ignore the trickle of whistleblowers, industry insiders and careful analysts who have been warning of the imminent decline in oil for over a decade now.
Remember the Queen's question – that uncannily accurate and strikingly obvious question she put to economists at the London School of Economics a year ago after the financial crisis: did no one see it coming? Apply that question to peak oil and the answer is that many people did see it coming but they were marginalised, bullied into silence and the evidence was buried in the small print.
Take the 2008 edition of World Energy Outlook, the annual report on which the entire energy industry and governments depend. It included the table also published by the Guardian today, and the version I saw had shorter intervals on the horizontal axis. What it made blindingly clear was that peak oil was somewhere in 2008/9 and that production from currently producing fields was about to drop off a cliff. Fields yet to be developed and yet to be found enabled a plateau of production and it was only "non-conventional oil" which enabled a small rise. Think tar sands of Canada, think some of the most climate polluting oil extraction methods available. Think catastrophe.
What made this little graph so devastating was that it estimated energy resources by 2030 that were woefully inadequate for the energy-hungry economies of India and China. Business as usual in oil production threatens massive conflict over sharing it.
Now, this all seemed pretty gigantic news to me but guess where the World Energy Outlook chose to put this graph? Was it in the front, was it prominently discussed in the foreword? Did it cause headlines around the world. No, no, no. It was buried deep into the report and no reference was made to it in the press conference a year ago.
The fear is that panicky markets can cause enormous damage – panic-buying that prompts fights over resources, which in turn could lead to power cuts in some places and other such mayhem. But so far in facing this huge challenge, our political/economic system seems unable to cope with reality. We are forced to carry on living in an illusion that we have so much time to adapt to post-oil that we don't even need to be talking or thinking much about what a world without plentiful oil would look like. Reality has become too dangerous.
So in reply to the Queen's question of a few years hence, we did see it coming but we chose to ignore it.

On March 14, a cinema in the Qujiang district of Xi'an, Shaanxi province held the city's first pet-friendly screening of the film "A Dog's Purpose." To keep the cinema clean and tidy, each of the 50 canine attendees and owners were provided with two diapers, a bottle of water, a disposable plastic bowl and a bag of tissues.
"Some big cities in China already allow pets in public places," said Zhu Rui, the organizer of the activity and also a veterinarian. "The movie 'A Dog's Purpose' is very touching. We hope the relationships between owners and dogs will be deepened after they watch the movie together. We also want to promote the notion of not abandoning or giving up dogs, and we hope owners can care for their dogs in a proper manner."

Fortunately the mist restricts our view of the concrete monstrosity, mentioned by Jackill, in the background.The vehicle to the left of the monstrosity is a 4WD. Usually I can't say I want these things on mountains (or in cities). However I would make an exception for this occasion where it was bringing organisers and supplies for participants on the annual Comeragh Challenge.This illustrates that it it possible to drive to the summit, assuming you have the key for the gate.

The wind was from the SW and the slope stretching from Seefin to Coumaraglin and Farbreaga is a hugh natural ampitheatre. The wind wasn't that strong either on the plateau top or at road level but entering this mostly treeless valley is scooped and concentrated on the ridge near the cairn. Since the SW is the commonest direction for wind, this must happen fairly often, so I would be interested if anyone else has encountered such a phenemenon.

Picture: The former TV retransmitter and view to the north from the summit cairn. csd on Seefin, 2008 by csd 3 Mar 2008 I parked at the start of the forest track at S25466 04916 D and followed it up to the summit. Navigation is straightforward, even though my 1993 preliminary edition Sheet 75 wasn't quite right about the tracks or the current extent of the plantation. The concrete hut is still there at the summit, unfortunately. There are, however, some lovely views north towards Fauscoum, west over to the Knockmealdowns, and south to Croahan. It takes about 90 minutes to reach the top from the parking space, so Seefin makes an easy bagging target.

"Bloody Mary," chanted several times while holding a candle and peering into a mirror, summons the ghost of Mary Worth, according to several urban legends. The spells cast to summon her similarly promise the appearance of a vengeful, bloody ghost bent on revenge. In the 1700s, says one urban legend, the unwed Mary Worth refused to name her baby's father, so a mob murdered the baby and slashed Mary's face while forcing her to look into a mirror.
Another urban legend casts Mary Bloodsworth as a witch accused of kidnapping young girls through enchantment. When neighbors discovered that she was expecting a child, a crime of that time, she claimed it was an immaculate conception. Townsfolk pronounced it Satan's child and sentenced the baby to die upon its birth. The mothers of the missing young girls slashed Mary's face with shards of glass.
In Boston, Massachusetts, a blank tombstone marks the grave of Mary Bloodsworth, historically recorded as a witch who was hanged on Christmas day of 1741. Mary I, the queen of England during the Tudor period, was called Bloody Mary as a result of tortuous executions of "heretics." Urban legend says she killed virgins and bathed in their blood to remain young.
An urban legend set in modern times holds that Mary died in an automobile accident that mutilated her face. Depending on the urban legend, if the spell makes Bloody Mary appear, she mutilates, drives insane or kills the one who summons her. Or, she draws the chanter into the mirror to stay with her forever.

With over 1,600 beers to choose from, and more votes received than ever before, the GABS Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers has truly become Australia's biggest 'people's choice' craft beer poll.
On 26 January 2016, thousands of fans all over the country toasted quality craft beer as part of their Australia Day celebrations. From brew pubs in Darwin to the beaches of Sydney, people shared their #Hottest100Beers countdowns on social media (check out the highlights here), and watched as the results rolled in.
Taking the title of GABS Hottest Aussie Craft Beer of 2016 is Stone & Wood Brewing Co's 'Pacific Ale', making it back-to-back honours for the Byron Bay brewery, and their third win overall. And moving from third into second place this year is Pirate Life Brewing's 8.8% ABV 'Double IPA', the Adelaide brewery knocking Western Australia's Feral Brewing into third with their perennial favourite 'Hop Hog' American Pale Ale.
Check out the full Hottest 100 results below. And if you're that way inclined (we know we are), here's the Official Poster to pin up on your wall.
A massive 21 new beers made the 2016 list, including 'Little Dove' from WA's Gage Roads, 'Sonic Prayer' and 'Modus Pale' from Modus Operandi on Sydney's Northern Beaches, two versions of the highly regarded 'Ramjet' wood-aged beer from Melbourne's Boatrocker Brewing Co, and an outstanding 55th placing for 'KAIJU KRUSH!' from the popular Victorian brewery, after only releasing the beer in December 2016.

Today we're going to be testing the Rosewill FORT120, a high end CPU cooler utilising direct touch technology and a tower design. They already have a number of heatsink products in their lineup and it will be interesting to see how this offering stands up against the Thermalright 120, one of the most popular air coolers in enthusiast circles.

Lucian Freud: The Painter's Etchings
December 16, 2007–
March 10, 2008
The Museum of Modern Art
- The Museum of Modern Art, Floor 3, Exhibition Galleries
One of the foremost figurative artists working today, Lucian Freud (British, born Germany 1922) has redefined portraiture and the nude through his unblinking scrutiny of the human form. Although best known as a painter, etching has become integral to his practice. This exhibition will present the full scope of Freud's achievements in etching, including some seventy-five examples ranging from rare, early experiments in the 1940s to the increasingly large and complex compositions created since his rediscovery of the medium in the early 1980s. In a dramatic and unusual cross-media installation, it will also include a selection of related paintings and drawings, illuminating the crucial, cross-pollinating relationship between Freud's etchings and paintings. Freud is not a traditional printmaker. He treats the etching plate like a canvas, standing the copper upright on an easel. He typically depicts the same sitters in etching as in painting, always working directly from his models and demarcating their forms through meticulous networks of finely etched lines. But with their figures dramatically cropped or isolated against empty backgrounds, Freud's etchings achieve a startling new sense of psychological tension and formal abstraction. The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
Organized by Starr Figura, Assistant Curator, Department of Prints and Illustrated Books.
The exhibition is supported in part by Patricia Phelps de Cisneros and The Contemporary Arts Council of The Museum of Modern Art.

Goalkeeper Friedel signs new Tottenham deal at 41
Veteran goalkeeper Brad Friedel has signed up for another season
at Premier League club Tottenham.
Tottenham says the 41-year-old American, who joined the London
club in June 2011, has signed a new contract through to 2014.
The deal was agreed despite Friedel's place in the starting
lineup for league matches no longer being guaranteed since Hugo
Lloris joined from Lyon in August.
Friedel's run of 310 consecutive matches in England's top
division, stretching back to May 2004, came to an end in October
when Lloris broke into the team.
Friedel made 82 appearances for the United States. He played for
the Columbus Crew, Galatasaray and Brondby before moving to England
in 1997 to join Liverpool.
He spent eight years at Blackburn, then three years at Aston
Villa before joining Tottenham.
