Poured from a 22oz flip-top into a Sam Adams perfect pint.

This guy pours out a deep golden with a large head that drops down quickly. The aroma is fairly robust, with a big dose of sweet malts along with some grassy and zesty noble hops. The taste is very good, this one has a huge noble hop kick. Seriously, it's got that back-of-the-throat drying mouthfeel that lets you know that there's A LOT of hops in here, but it's not the same kind of hops that usually get this sort of treatment. Instead, it's full of zesty, grassy, and herbal noble hops. There's a decent amount of sweet malts that quickly get drowned out by the hop attack. Bitter and dry finish. The mouthfeel is more medium-bodied and moderately carbonated, and the drinkability is good. This is an interesting beer for the hop-head, it's an intensely hoppy beer, but with noble hops. Very interesting and tasty.

Appearance is dark gold with a white head leaving decent lace.

Smell is really skunky, this has a monster dose of nobles, herbal, a little sweet cereals.

Taste is similar. The big skunky hop flavor is coupled with a firm bitterness, which tempers the sweetness of the pils. Clean.

Mouthfeel is dry, lighter, almost watery.

Drinkability is pretty high, this is a quenching, tasty imperial pils for the hop heads out there. Nice to have a big hoppy beer using nobles to switch up the taste profile.

Slight chill haze, honey yellow, tall and frothy white head.

Strong aroma of Noble hops. Nice!

Flavor surprised me by how strong yet balanced it was and ultimately enjoyable. I really didn’t expect to like this very much, but I really did enjoy it. Big Noble hop character, which is certainly a break from the norm of American hops. Good clean malt for balance, with just a touch of honey sweetness to play off the hops. Finishes dry but with a lingering hop bite.

Overall I’d say this one is a success. Not something I’m keen to drink often, but certainly something interesting to try.

A - Pours a fairly clear golden-orange with a finger of frothy white head. The head fades down at a normal pace leaving behind some nice lacing.

S - Aroma is a mix of pilsner and grainy malts with lemon, citrus, floral, and noble hops.

T - Starts off with pilsner and some sweet grainy malts with some lemon and citrus hops and some bitterness. Through the middle, some more lightly bready malts come through with some floral and a bit of grassy hops and more bitterness. The finish is a mix of pilsner malts, citrus and floral hops, some bitterness, and some lager esters.

M - Medium bodied with moderate carbonation. Feels smooth with a sweet and lightly dry finish.

D - Very drinkable. Very crisp and refreshing and overall well balanced.

A - Poured out a hazy, golden yellow color with a three-finger, khaki colored head of bubbly foam. It left thin rings of lace on the glass.

S - It smelled very floral with some bready notes.

T - Floral hop presence with caramel, toffee and bready notes.

M - It was crisp, sharp and smooth. A medium bodied lager.

O - This is a nice lager. It was a steal for $3.99.

750 ML flip-top brown glass bottle.

Deep golden colored beer with a puffy white colored head.

Smell is spicy Saaz hop, the bottle claims it is 50 IBUs. Strong noble hop aroma, saffron, hay, grass, soapy and herbal scents. Smells a little soapy with a noticeable trace of sulfur from the yeast.

Starts out mildly sweet with a biscuit malt flavor and a slight sensation of salt in the mouth. Good strong hop flavors, mostly herbal and mineral on the tongue. Lots of grass and herbs in the flavor, it is bitter but not to an annoying level. Mild sensation of alcohol warmth in the chest.

Mouthfeel is good.

Overall a decent beer. Not sure it really qualifies as an Imperial Pilsner, it is just stoutly hopped.

A - Foamy off-white head sits about 2 fingers high. Excellent retention and ok lace. Nice orange gold body. Slightly cloudy.

S - Bready pilsner malt nose, plantains, lightly spicy hops.

T - Sweet bready malt; white bread and biscuits. Round, herbal hop bitterness with a bight black pepper and lemon finish.

M - Medium-light frame. Maybe medium to style.

O - A solid American take on a pilsner with bigger malt and hop notes than you'd traditionally expect in the style.

"Intensely Hopped Robust Pilser"? Let's see.

Pop the top and am met with a "Poof"...always nice to hear. Pours a pretty clear golden ale with a massive egg white colored head with sporadic lacing.

A lot of lemon in the aroma. Also an abundance of floral. Grassy. Orange. Malty. Above average but nothing special.

Being a not so Pilsner dude, the taste was better than expected. Yeasty. Earthy. The hop element is nice with a big pilsner/malty backbone on the swallow...followed by more bittering hops on the finish. Aftertaste lingers of lemon. A lot more flavor than your dad's pilsner.

Carbonated nicely.

Overall I was impressed with the offering. Not a huge Pilsner fan but the added hops spiced it up for me and gave it an unexpected push. 6.5% with a bunch of flavor. The 750 was a little much...but I finished it cuz it was the right thing to do.

Do love craft beer in cans, and this brewery has some good beers and some bad ones.

Pours an OK fizzy bubbly foamy head that fades semi quickly after hitting 2 fingers but with the air and fizz it's like an artificial head, just a touch of wispy lacing, dark but very clear root beer brown colored.

Nose is so-so, some darker malts but not much, a little dry black malt, touch acrid and some metallic like aromas, some dark crystal malts and a little syrupy mess, faint cocoa dust, some lager aromas but not a very clean lager.

Taste starts with dark creamy like malts, more dark crystal malts, little caramel and syrupy, light black malt, dry powdered cocoa, into some fruity flavors a little fig like somehow, fruity lager characters, a light metallic twing too, and some mild warm lager fermentation characters but not sulfury at least. Mild spicy bitterness, little earthy and fair bitterness. finish is dry but sticky, bit syrupy, bit more earthy spicy hops and fair bitterness, more cola syrup and caramel.

Mouth is med bod, decent carb, little syrupy.

Overall meh, not the best schwarzbier, lager seemed a little too warm, some metallic notes, decent dark malts, overall just not the best put together beer.

Was hoping this would be more like a Vienna lager, Munich dunkel, or Czech cerny, instead it's a dark brown, lightly corn flavored beer. While very similar to the summer and winter solstice beers, without the spice there's nothing to keep it interesting or even worth another sip.

16oz glass at Beer Revolution.

This beer appears a clear, bronze-tinted chestnut brown colour, with a thin cap of wispy off-white head, which leaves loosely webbed lace around the glass as things duly sink away.

It smells of roasted caramel malt, toasted nuts, a mineral flintiness, and very mild earthy, weedy hops. The taste is lightly toasted bready caramel malt, ethereal earthy nuts, a hint of dry cocoa, and musty, leafy hops. Simple, but in a good way.

The carbonation is rather active in its tight frothiness, the body on the light side of medium weight, and a tad mealy, but generally smooth. It finishes mostly dry, the roasted graininess and oily nuttiness calling home to say they'll be late for dinner.

A decent enough dark lager, with more than a few Munich Dunkel notes to recommend it by. Perhaps a tad plain, but that's a positive aspect in this realm, where off-flavours and unwelcome phenols tend to lurk. Worthy of a round or two over dark wooden tables.

Appearance - Pours a clear but dark auburn/ruby brown with a light tan w finger head. Good retention, leaving a fair layer of suds across the top. Good lacing and with good stick.

Smell - Malt aroma lands somewhere between toffee and caramel. Like most corn-added brews, the corn aroma gets more noticeable as it warms.

Taste - Follows the nose. Toffee and caramel sweetness is most prevalent. Light notes of corn. Faint roasted notes; again, hits more noticeably once the beer has warmed. Hops hit near the finish with a mild spice and grassy bitterness.

Mouthfeel - Medium-bodied with tingly carbonation. Crisp, semi-dry finish.

Overall - This beer's got some nice things going for it, in fact it might be the best Euro dark lager style beer I've come across. This is a beer, in can form, I'd bring with me to the river. That said, it's not a style that really grabs me. I'd rather go with a nice ESB, even without that crisp lager edge.

Anderson Valley "El Steinber Dark Lager"
16 oz. can, no apparent freshness dating
$2.99 @ Total Wine & More #901, Tampa, FL

I don't really have a lot to say about this beer. Anderson Valley makes some incredible beers but this is not one of them; it's just a solidly made, high quality, drinkable dunkelbier.

It pours a clear deep mahogany brown body beneath creamy head of light tan that holds well and leaves some very nice lacing. The nose it gently caramelish (mainly dark caramel), nutty, and lightly toasty. The flavor adds some more golden caramel to it, a hint of light fruitiness, and a touch of dusty chocolate as well, backed by some leafy and herbal hops. It's got a very firm bitterness to it and it finishes dry with a bit of crushed granite, some bakers chocolate, and more leafy hops.

Poured a finger and half of head on a dark brown body.
The aroma is grain and lemon.
The taste is cream, malty sweetness and grapefruit bitter in a wonderful blend.
The texture is crisp with moderate carbonation.
Overall an enjoyable beer with some great flavor.

16oz can. Deep clear amber with a rocky off-white head. This retains with a smooth froth that rings the sides of the glass with sticky lace. The aroma is a nice mix of sweet and roasty (maybe even smoky) with a tinge of green citrus and floral accents on the edges. The taste has a crisp green hop bite, surrounded by a combination of malt sweetness and lingering roast. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a tight creaminess to the carbonation, yet this remains very smooth. This was decent. It could have used a bit more of a push from the malts but it’s still pretty drinkable.

Opaque deep russet brown color with a huge and super sticky 3 finger lightly tanned head. Nose mildly kilned barley and modest earthy and noble hopping.

Light body but full feeling in the mouth. Prickly and brisk carbonation but the beer holds up to it. Typical of something akin to a negro modelo but definitely more roast character a bit more complexity and body. Lightly roasted malt up front, dry grains along the mid palate and balancing faint hop bitterness, roast character lingers, subtle notes of coffee and toffee. Pairing oddly really well with garlic pesto right now, brings out the more sublte flavors. Pretty good.

A big thanks to the legendary woodychandler for this beer. Poured from a 16 oz. can. Has a cola color with a 1 inch head. Smell is very mild, some light roasted malts are detected. Taste is also kind of light, some roasted malts, a touch of smoke, really not a whole lot going on. Feels medium/full in the mouth and overall is pretty much a mediocre beer.

Thruster Grips - Natural

WARNING! Only left in stock!

Bummer! We are out of stock.

Construction: Injection-molded Krayton synthetic rubber

Fitment: Biltwell grips are available in 1” & 7/8". These grips are made from the same material used in dirt bike and BMX grips: Kraton Rubber. They are softer and more comfortable but also wear quicker. Just like a dirt bike, plan on changing them often, depending on how hard you ride and in what conditions.

Details: Scroll down for Installation Tips. We recommend using WD-40 to install the grips and suggest letting them dry overnight. Adding a ring of safety wire on each end is a standard moto practice and all of our grips have grooves to accommodate this.

Note: Using Biltwell rubber grips on H-Ds will often require that your motorcycle is equipped with an aftermarket throttle tube (our Whiskey throttle tube, for instance). The grips do not have a built in plastic throttle tube, they are meant to slide over a higher-quality aluminum tube.

The Bioenergetics Subgroup attracts participants with a wide range of interests. The primary focus is mitochondria and chloroplasts, from biogenesis to the structure and function of individual protein components. Much of the focus is on membrane channels, carriers and redox complexes. Recently there has been much excitement regarding the role of mitochondria in apoptosis and their ability to rapidly respond to changes in cell function. In addition, the detailed crystal structure of components central to oxidative phosphorylation has generated great interest in the molecular details of energy transduction. Finally, the subgroup’s annual Young Investigator Award recognizes excellence in the field of bioenergetics by investigators at different stages of their careers.

How a Sleepy German Suburb Explains Europe’s Rising Far-Right Movements

BUCH, Germany — Buch, a small community on the outskirts of Berlin, seems at first glance to be the kind of place Goldilocks would declare “just right.” It is not too rich or too poor, not too expensive or too scruffy, not too close to the crowded city center but not so far that its tree-lined streets of tidy apartments are beyond a daily commute.

It is probably not the sort of place people picture when they think about the tide of far-right populism overwhelming Europe. But beneath the surface, this cozy, safe neighborhood is starkly different from the depressed postindustrial zones often portrayed as the populist wellspring, and is emblematic of the forces threatening to upend Western politics as we know it.

  • Dana Garcia

    People hate it when the government dumps too many immigrants in a community. It’s human nature to reject diversity, particularly when it’s forced, seeming like an actual invasion.

  • J. C.

    And of course the New York Times tries put a pro-refugee spin on it…

    • David Murrell

      Indeed. No mention, in the posted article, of the Islamo-Nazi rapes and war criminality afoot. The NYT supports Islamic-based crime.

  • Watchman

    This whole article is a whitewash of immigration (oh, who could guess, it’s in The New York Times!).
    Some points:
    • AfD is treated as a symptom of populism, rather than as a dissatisfaction with the political direction of Germany and the EU. Wikipedia’s entry says, “Populism is a political doctrine that proposes that the common people are exploited by a privileged elite, and which seeks to resolve this.” This would seem to be a good description of the current government of Germany and the EU, let alone any new politician that may appeal to the masses.
    The Mirriam-Webster second definition of a populist is ” a believer in the rights, wisdom, or virtues of the common people”. The linked article seems to scoff at this belief that the common people are capable of having any rational thoughts, virtues or rights that should not be managed by an unelected elite.

    • The quote “‘There are right-wingers here,’ he said. ‘You should be careful asking such questions.’” seems to imply that there is danger in talking about right wingers; as if they will suddenly become violent if they hear some journalist asking about migration.

    • Their quoted “Halo Effect” ignores the possibility that in highly ‘diverse’ neighbourhoods, people unhappy with the diversity may have already left, leaving only those who are happy with the diversity, or those unable to leave. People on the periphery of the ‘diverse’ areas may not have reached the stage where they feel it necessary to leave. The ‘Halo Effect’ seems to make no allowances for a self-selected group – where did they think the right-wingers moved to if they didn’t wake up one day loving all migrants? Which right-wing citizens are going to tell a journalist what they really think, especially if they don’t trust the media to report the news accurately?

    • Don’t forget to mention the Nazis, the only possible nationalist influence that the German people have had and the only possible nationalist ideology that the Germans might revert to.

    • Behold the success of “Critical Theory”: “This gap in self-definition has left them no way to express their identity except by what they are not”. You can’t identify as a proud German since they have been taught for so long that everything German is bad, and must be rejected.

    “Mr. Orthman said that he had developed a positive view of refugees after becoming a security guard in a refugee center in a neighboring town.” It also might have something to do with his reliance on presence of ‘refugees’ for continued employment. “ It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!” – Upton Sinclair

    • Arson attack: no proof, no witnesses, no claims of responsibility, just assumed to be perpetrated by ‘far-right arsonists’ instead of a possible arson by the ‘refugees’ themselves as has happened in other places.

    “Far-right support may eventually diminish. But in the meantime it will leave Germany’s migrants, and European politics, under tremendous stress.” Wanting to control the culture in your own country is now ‘far-right support’?

  • simus1

    Sorry, I just don’t NYT.

  • stubb

    I went to read this article, and found that it was in the NYT. I still haven’t washed the taste of horror and revulsion out of my mind. 🙁

The nova war has begun to spread as the Emissaries wage a fierce and reckless campaign, encroaching on the area of space occupied by humanity and forcing the Shoal into a desperate retreat. While Dakota goes in search of the entity responsible for creating the Maker caches, Corso, left in charge of a fleet of human-piloted Magi ships, finds his authority crumbling in the face of assassination attempts and politically-motivated sabotage. If any hope exists at all, it lies in an abandoned asteroid a thousand light-years beyond the Consortium's borders, and with Ty Whitecloud, the only man alive with the skill to decipher the messages left behind by an ancient race of star travellers. Unfortunately Whitecloud is locked in a prison cell aboard a dying coreship adrift in space, awaiting execution for war crimes against Corso's own people. But if humanity has any hope of survival, Corso is going to have to find some way to keep him alive - and that's only if Dakota doesn't kill him first...show more

Course Outline

Respecting game involves following hunting laws, personal ethics, and the principle of fair chase in order to harvest wildlife humanely and maintain healthy populations.

Responsible bowhunters:

  • Take the animal with a well-placed shot in a vital area to avoid only wounding it.
  • Ensure well-placed shots by knowing the maximum range for accurate shot placement for each animal hunted and staying within that range.
  • Limit shots on big game to no more than 30 yards in cover and 40 yards in the open, which increases the likelihood of a shot in the animal’s vital area. Most animals are shot at 15 yards, which should be your goal.
  • Select the appropriate hunting tip or broadhead for the arrow, and make sure all broadheads are razor-sharp.
  • Use stealth ability to enter and exit a hunting area without disturbing wildlife or the habitat.
  • Learn the game’s habits and habitat prior to the hunt. Observing and learning about all wildlife can be an enjoyable educational experience, as well as a way to build confidence needed for the hunt.
  • Make every possible effort to recover wounded game.

Fair Chase

The concept of fair chase began in the Middle Ages when hunters increased the challenge of sport hunting by setting rules that limited how they took game.

More recently, fair chase rules were developed to stem public criticism of hunters. One of the earliest models was the “Fair Chase Principle” established in the late 1800s by the Boone and Crockett Club, which was founded by Theodore Roosevelt. Those who violated club rules were expelled.

The rules were later expanded to ban shooting in fenced enclosures or using vehicles, airplanes, radios, boats, or electronic calling devices. Many states have made these rules into law.

Ricardo Moreno, Hollywood, Florida Golf Instructor, Arrested for Sexually Abusing Minors

Ricardo Moreno, a Hollywood, Florida golf instructor, turned himself into police on Tuesday after he was accused of molesting two minors, news sources report. Moreno was originally accused of molesting a 13-year-old boy; however, a 15-year-old boy has now reportedly come forward also claiming that Moreno abused him. Police say there may be more victims. Moreno, 52, was booked into the Broward County Main Jail on two counts of lewd and lascivious molestation on a victim between the ages of 12 and 16. He was later released from jail on an unspecified bail bond. So far, no attorney has been reported for Moreno.

According to sources, Moreno is a founder of RSM Golf, an organization that teaches golf to children and teens in Broward and Miami-Dade counties. Moreno also gives golf lessons at Country Club and Hillcrest Golf. So far, RSM Golf had remained mum regarding the allegations against Moreno. Country Club and Hillcrest Golf have also declined to comment; however, Hillcrest acknowledged that Moreno works as a contractor at the club and is cooperating with a police investigation.

One of Moreno’s 13-year-old students came forward with allegations of sexual abuse this past week, sources indicate. The victim said Moreno “would always stretch him out prior to the golf lessons to avoid injury.” However, the victim claims Moreno would touch his genitals, which made the victim feel uncomfortable. “The victim advised that he thought it was weird and he was very uncomfortable about [Moreno touching his genital area],” a police report says.

Detectives interviewed Moreno on Saturday, during which time Moreno said he employs a “technique of stretching the victim out and relieving tension,” which includes touching the student in his genital area. When asked, Moreno said he did not have any medical training, though he does have extensive training as a sports instructor. Many sports instructors, even without medical training, aid their students with stretching.

Since the allegations surfaced, another of Moreno’s students, a 15-year-old boy, has come forward and said Moreno abused him too. The details of that case are not currently public. Detectives are currently working to identify any more victims. “Hopefully this is it,” a police spokesperson said. “But if someone sees this and is a victim or knows someone that is, we are asking them to come forward.” Additional charges may be pending, though thus far the two boys are the only potential victims.

Robert Lechter, whose own child is a student of Moreno’s, commented on the allegations, saying, “To me it sounds like a misunderstanding, [Moreno] has an excellent reputation, he’s a family man, a completely reliable person, just a great guy.”

According to RSM Golf’s website, Moreno was “Born and raised in Colombia [and is] an avid student in the game and a true entrepreneur. [Moreno] has extensive experience managing junior golf programs in both Colombia and the United States.” The website says that the program teaches students nine core golf values, including confidence, honesty, courtesy, and good sportsmanship. The program offers minors both after school programs and summer programs.

Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed, (born May 13, 1905, Delhi, India—died Feb. 11, 1977, New Delhi), statesman who was president of India from 1974 to 1977.

The son of an army doctor from Assam, Ahmed was educated in India and studied history at the University of Cambridge, graduating in 1927. After returning to India, he was elected to the Assam legislature (1935). As Assam’s minister of finance and revenue in 1938, he was responsible for some radical taxation measures. On the outbreak of World War II in 1939, the Indian National Congress party had a confrontation with British power, and Ahmed was jailed for a year. Soon after release he was again imprisoned for another three and a half years, being released in April 1945. In 1946 he was appointed advocate general of Assam and held the post for six years.

After a term in the national Parliament, he returned to Assam politics until Prime Minister Indira Gandhi included him in her first cabinet in January 1966. He held a variety of portfolios—irrigation and power, education, industrial development, and agriculture. Ahmed became India’s fifth president in 1974. He died of a heart attack in February 1977.

Carnivorous plant

Alternative Title: insectivorous plant

Carnivorous plant, sometimes called insectivorous plant, any plant especially adapted for capturing and digesting insects and other animals by means of ingenious pitfalls and traps. Carnivory in plants has evolved independently about six times across several families and orders. The more than 600 known species of carnivorous plants constitute a very diverse group, in some cases having little more in common than their carnivorous habit.

Trap types and digestion

The conspicuous trapping mechanism, which is always a modified leaf, draws special attention to these plants. A variety of trapping mechanisms exist and are designated as active or passive based on whether they move to capture prey. Pitfall traps, such as those found in pitcher plants, are among the most common types of traps and employ a hollow, lidded leaf filled with liquid to passively collect and digest prey. Flypaper traps can be active or passive and rely on sticky mucilage, either directly on the leaf surface (butterworts) or on gland-tipped hairs (sundews), to capture prey. Snap traps, such as those of the Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscipula), use rapid leaf movements to actively ensnare insects. Bladder traps are only found in bladderwort plants (genus Utricularia) and actively suck in small organisms using a partial vacuum. Lobster-pot traps, found predominantly in corkscrew plants (genus Genlisea), employ downward-pointing hairs to force prey deeper into the trap.

Using enzymes or bacteria, carnivorous plants digest their prey through a process of chemical breakdown analogous to digestion in animals. The end products, particularly nitrogenous compounds and salts, are absorbed by the plants to enable their survival under otherwise marginal or hostile environmental conditions. Most carnivorous species are green plants that manufacture food by photosynthesis from the raw materials of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide in the presence of chlorophyll. The carnivorous habit augments the diet derived from the poor soil of their environment.

Whether aquatic or terrestrial, carnivorous plants have a basically similar ecology. Species of two or three genera (e.g., Sarracenia, Drosera, and Pinguicula) are often found growing almost side by side. The majority are most likely to be found in damp heaths, bogs, swamps, and muddy or sandy shores where water is at least seasonally abundant and where nitrogenous materials are often scarce or unavailable because of acid or other unfavourable soil conditions. Drosophyllum lusitanicum seems to be the one exception; it grows on dry, gravelly hills of Portugal and Morocco.

On the whole, carnivorous plants are relatively small, but size variation is enormous even within the same genus. The majority are herbaceous perennials less than 30 cm (1 foot) high, often only 10 to 15 cm (4 to 6 inches). Some species of Nepenthes, however, become large shrubby vines. Drosera species vary from a few centimetres to 1 metre (3 feet) or more in height (D. gigantea); the smallest are often hidden among the moss of a sphagnum bog.

Major families

The largest carnivorous plant family, Lentibulariaceae (order Lamiales), is marked by bilaterally symmetrical flowers with fused petals and only two anthers. This family has a fairly cosmopolitan distribution and comprises more than 300 species in three genera: the bladderworts (Utricularia, about 220 species), the butterworts (Pinguicula, about 80 species), and the corkscrew plants (Genlisea, about 22 species). Employing a variety of trapping mechanisms, members of that family are predominantly herbs of wet or aquatic habitats and prey on insects and other invertebrates.

The family Droseraceae (order Caryophyllales) comprises three genera and about 154 species, nearly all of which are sundews (genus Drosera). The aquatic genus Aldrovanda contains only one species, the waterwheel plant (A. vesiculosa), which is sometimes grown in aquaria as a curiosity. Similarly, the genus Dionaea consists of only the Venus flytrap (D. muscipula), well known for its quick-acting snap trap and commonly sold as a novelty. Once classified within Droseraceae, the Portuguese sundew (Drosophyllum lusitanicum) is now placed within its own family, Drosophyllaceae (order Caryophyllales), of which it is the only species.

Despite their similar trapping mechanisms, pitcher plants can be found in five genera across three families. The species of New World pitcher plants are placed in the family Sarraceniaceae (order Ericales). About 10 of the 34 species belong to the widely known and much-studied genus Sarracenia, of eastern North America. The sun pitchers, also known as marsh pitcher plants (genus Heliamphora), are native to a limited region in South America and consist of about 23 species. The cobra plant (Darlingtonia californica) is the only member of its genus and is indigenous to northern California and southern Oregon. The approximately 140 species of Old World pitcher plants constitute the only genus of the family Nepenthaceae, Nepenthes (order Caryophyllales). Mostly native to Madagascar, Southeast Asia, and Australasia, many members of Nepenthaceae are climbing plants, and some live as epiphytes in trees. The pitcher plant family Cephalotaceae (order Oxalidales) consists of only the Western Australian pitcher plant (Cephalotus follicularis).

Known as rainbow plants, the family Byblidaceae (order Lamiales) contains a single genus (Byblis) of about seven carnivorous species native to Australia and New Guinea. Those herbs have narrow leaves that are densely covered with glandular hairs that serve as flypaper traps to absorb nutrients from insects.

The pineapple family (Bromeliaceae, order Poales) has at least three carnivorous species: Brocchinia reducta, B. hectioides, and Catopsis berteroniana. Those species have urnlike pitfall traps formed by the tightly packed leaf bases that are characteristic of the family. They are not known to produce digestive enzymes and instead rely on bacteria to break down their prey.

Libra, Year Ahead 2017

General Forecasts, Love Forecasts and Money Forecasts

General Forecast

Given that this year's greatest astrological events are based around Jupiterian influences, the question is whether Librans will be able to consider themselves the lucky beneficiaries of a kindly celestial sky? With the planet of luck, traversing your sign for the first time in more than a decade, can you expect a little more fortune than the rest of the zodiac? You deserve it don't you? After all, you try your best to play fair. You want to improve your lot, and you aim to do so without causing harm to others. So shouldn't you get a little extra for your efforts? Perhaps...

Life responds to everyone who makes good, caring choices. And we all need to set the bar higher if we want to be part of a better world. But, a certain level of kindness and forethought should be considered normal, and only action that goes beyond the call of duty should be singled out for praise. Yet, for you, this year, even with these stipulations, you'll be able to consider yourself due a performance-related bonus. The universe is ready, and willing to respond to your positivity. There's benevolence available to be bestowed, and blessings waiting to be heaped.

In order for you to benefit fully from 2017's astrological aspirations, you may have to shake things up a bit, though. Sometimes, in the midst of searching for perfection, you miss the chance to take advantage of what appear to be imperfect opportunities. This year, choose to make the best of the hand you're dealt, rather than wait for better cards from the celestial dealer. You just need to use your skill and your guile, and tap into the wisdom that resides deep within. And, even though you won't receive the perfect hand, the deal will be more than enough to play well and enjoy the game. Does this make you luckier than anyone else around the card table? That's up to you to decide!

Want to know more about what's in store for you in 2017? Your 2017 'Guide to the Future' is full of amazing predictions and insights. Get yours now!

Love Forecast

We all want to be liked. It's human nature. We are social creatures who seek at least some validation through the estimation of others. It's never nice to hear that somebody doesn't like us. Who in their right mind would have a bad word to say about you? I certainly don't. But then I'm a Libra too, so if I didn't like you, that would say more about me than it does you! The same is true of anyone else who fails to be convinced by your charms. But, being good-natured, kind and caring isn't always enough to satisfy every troubled soul you'll meet. It's important to remember this in 2017.

Jupiter, full of optimism, fun and inspiration, traverses your sign forming several rare oppositions with Uranus in your solar seventh house. This could suggest that someone might want you to change. That they don't share your perspective, and are encouraging you to do things differently and break away from your past. But there's no need to bend over backwards if you don't like the way the world looks upside-down. And those who truly wish to see you rise to your highest potential, are unlikely to contort your growth into uncomfortable positions. Life calls upon you to meet someone's challenge this year. Yet, if you're true to your roots throughout this transition, then your heart will only be gladdened by it.

Money Forecast

In order to feel comfortable with our financial situation, we need a solid base from which to operate. It's no good teetering from one perilous situation to the next. Of course, some risks must be taken if we're ever to advance, but a reserve needs to remain reliably in place. A sanctuary for when it all gets too turbulent.

2017 will allow you to lay stronger foundations. The recurring oppositions between Jupiter and Uranus focus on Pluto. For Librans, this represents the opportunity to resurrect a sense of strength and power. On a modern building site, foundations are usually made of cement. Keep that in mind as you go through this process. Cement must be mixed. It has to be churned in preparation for pouring. And so this year, the process of laying down a financial foundation may not always feel as smooth or as solid as the base you're trying to create! Yet the planets aren't trying to topple what you've built, nor hamper your upward progress.

You may be challenged by Uranus's urge to break from the past, but your future remains in safe hands. Jupiter, representing wealth, luck and opportunity, is in your sign. This year, its energy can help grow your resources. Remain positive and, brick by brick, the foundations will be laid on which dreams are built.

Why Mountain House

Our meals have since been on many amazing adventures:

  • The North and South poles
  • The tops of towering mountain ranges around the world
  • Even to the moon and back!

For nearly 50 years, consumers have continued to choose Mountain House as their favorite brand of freeze dried food for on-the-go adventures, emergency preparedness and survival. With just-add-water convenience, easy no-mess cleanup and home-cooked flavors, Mountain House is the best freeze dried camping, backpacking, hiking and emergency preparedness food money can buy!

Where We're From

We are nestled in the heart of the lush Willamette Valley of Oregon, just south of Portland. It is here in our hometown of Albany that we cook up our hearty, savory meals.

About Mountain House

During the Vietnam War, the Department of Defense put out a request for food that tasted better, lasted longer and weighed less than old K and C rations. Their parent company, Oregon Freeze Dry, responded to that request and won the contract. They immediately started making freeze dried food for the United States Special Forces. They have continued to make food for the United States Special Forces and other branches of the military ever since.

As the war began to wind down, Oregon Freeze Dry took the surplus rations to military surplus stores, where they rapidly sold out. It was then in 1968 they realized there was great consumer demand for freeze dried food and Mountain House was born.

Based on their ongoing sensory and nutrition testing of actual Mountain House products, in 2012 the shelf life was increased by an impressive 42%, from 7 years to 10 years! That’s right -- their shelf life is at least 10 years from the date of manufacture as long as the pouch is stored unopened in a cool area. After 10 years a change in flavor and appearance may be noticed. Mountain House Employees have personally tasted pouches that were 30 years old and they still taste great. For best results, avoid prolonged storage at temperatures above 75° F (24° C).

What foods are best for Survival Food storage?

To round out your survival food pantry, we recommend a wide variety of foods from canned foods to freeze dried and dehydrated foods packaged in sealed containers with oxygen absorbers. These storable long shelf life foods last for 25 years or more if stored well. Keep these foods out of temperature extremes and direct sunlight. A dry basement, the bottom of a closet, under a bed and so on are perfect places to store your survival food. Freeze dried foods keep their original size, whereas, dehydrated foods will shrink in size, but both are great for emergency food storage. Prepackaged items in #10 cans with an oxygen absorber last from 10 to 30 years. Freeze dried and dehydrated fruits and vegetables are great foods for your survival food pantry as well. They are delicious snacks right out of the cans or easily added to a variety of recipes calling for fruits and vegetables, which means they are easy to rotate through. Once they are opened, they are exposed to oxygen, so they’ll need to be used within about a year or so.
