Denise On More At Midday
Denise stopped by Nashville's More At Midday recently to talk about Girls of Grace. In case you missed it, you can watch it below:
Shelley Says…
Happy Friday everyone! It has been a COOOOLD week here in Nashville - but I guess 'tis the season. We are gearing up for our Girls of Grace conference in Nashville tomorrow, and everyone is so excited. We will be in Birmingham, AL in a couple of weeks - so if you live around there it's not too late to get tickets HERE.
Well, my baby got her first pair of glasses.
Here she is leaving the "glasses store". She was so excited. After a few months of complaining, I finally took her in and sure enough - nearsighted. When I asked Caroline if she could really see better now, she said "Yes mom! It's like the whole world is in 3D!" Then last night, when we were walking next door, she stared at the trees and said "I never realized how beautiful all the branches were. I couldn't really see each one before." I was like "Nice to meet you Robert Frost."
Out of the mouths of babes, right??
Are you going to watch the Oscars Sunday night?? I totally will - my favorite part is the red carpet on E! I love Ryan and Giuliana, and I LOVE seeing what everyone is wearing. And passing judgement on them if I don't like it. Just kidding. But not really.
I hope you all have a wonderful weekend-
Kiss all your children, dance with your wife!
Happy President's Day!!!!
Can't say that I was unhappy this morning as I got to sleep in:) Yay! NO SCHOOL. Woohoo! Last week was a crazy, but wonderful week at my boy's school. It was our Spiritual Emphasis Week. I am on the committee that helps facilitate it, so I spent a lot of time at school. It was an amazing week though. I got to see and hear some amazing speakers and singers that blessed me. KJ-52, the Katinas (who are ALWAYS incredible), Matt Wertz (who sang to our high school students) He has a new record coming out that you should definitely give a try. My good friend Chris Wheeler knocked it out of the park again with the middle school students and Annie Downs and David Ott were amazing as well. Those were just some of the things we had. I saw God do some pretty neat things in the lives of some of the students. That was the main point of the week.
The week before that, we were on the Kathy Troccoli "Amongst Friends" cruise. And it was indeed among friends. The POG hubbies were there and we thoroughly enjoyed hanging out with our friends Kathy, Ellie Lofero, Scott Krippayne, Don Moen, and my new friend Jennifer Rothchild. It was an amazing week. I'm so thankful that our ship was not the one that got stuck in the middle of the ocean. I'm afraid that Shelley would not have made it off the boat.
Here are a few pics. Most of my pictures were in bathing suits (which I didn't find too flattering or appropriate) haha.
Here is Stu and I on one of the formal nights. Very rarely do we ever dress up, so it was kinda fun. I'd still prefer dinner in my sweats. LOL.
I can't tell you how much I enjoyed my time with these two New Yorkers! We laughed and cried a little bit. Such a sweet time together.
Then just time on the beach with my sweetie. The weather couldn't have been more amazing. When we weren't enjoying the beautiful outdoors, or eating, we started watching Downton Abby. Yes we brought season 1 and 2 and finished it by the last day. I now see what all the fuss is about. We love it.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but we had such a great time that we are thinking about going on a cruise this summer with the boys. It's one way to get them away from their phones and Ipads because there is no service, AND still have a ton of fun things to do. hmmmmm we will see.
Have a great day!
Thoughts On Marriage From Denise
I went to a wedding shower for a beautiful bride to be yesterday. You know that you are getting older when you are now going to bridal showers for your friend's daughter. Ugh! Her name is Meredith Wood. Her mom has been a friend and mentor for me over the years. I was asked to share something that I've learned about marriage that I would want Meredith to know, and then share my hope for her as she starts this new part of life I guess they thought since I've been married 20 years, I should be all wise and knowing. haha. It did give me a chance to reflect on the things that I have learned through the years.
1. Be his biggest cheerleader. There are going to be plenty of other people to go up against him. He needs to know that you are in his corner. He needs to know that his "best friend" believes in him. Even when he doesn't make the right choice or slips and falls. His desire is to be adored just as much as I want to be adored by him. Sometimes, it's not that we don't, but in the chaos and busyness of life we sometimes stop letting him know that.
2. Find woman in your life who are 1 or 2 stages ahead of you to be friends with. When you encounter a new season of life that you are unsure of, you are able to ask questions and get some guidance.
3. Keep growing in the Lord. As you grow and he grows the hope would be that Jesus will be the glue when bad seasons come. Because they will come. Marriage is full of twists and turns. You will NEED God to be in the middle of it.
My hope for her and for me is that we won't let our marriages get stagnant. It's so easy to do. When jobs, kids, life gets so routine its easy to just start coasting. My prayer is that we as woman will continue to find ways to connect with our spouse in whatever season of life we are in. Those ways of connecting may have to change, but that we will never stop working at it.
The one last piece of advice was something I forgot to share, but I heard it from Leigh not too long ago. Don't forget to use "manners". It sounds silly but it is true. Please, thank you, I'm sorry, I really appreciate ......... Those are basic manners that we use with others around us all the time, but sometimes with our husband we just start barking orders and forget that they deserve kindness. When other things may not be going right, we can still make an effort just by using basic manners.
Anyway, I don't know if any of this was a good reminder for you today, but it was a good reminder for me so I thought I'd share with you. Have a great day.
Much Love,
Shelley Says...
Happy Friday everyone!
Can you believe it's almost the end of January?? This month has FLOWN by but it has been so good. I love January - we don't usually work at all during the month, so it gives us time to reorganize things at home (love this) and enjoy some downtime after the holidays. I've had time to read a bit more, too, which I always love. I thought I would give you a couple of book recs in case your looking for something new. :0) Of course I had to read the new Grisham thriller, The Racketeer. John never disappoints - and I learned a lot about our prison system in the process. (Not a great picture was painted.) Then I was ENTHRALLED by Bill O'Reilly's book "Killing Kennedy. If you are interested in the details of the White House Kennedy years at all, you'll really enjoy this book.
Speaking of thoroughly enjoying, I just finished Nichole Nordeman's Love Story. This is a GREAT read. It made me look at characters in the Bible (that were very familiar to me) in a new light, and with a much deeper appreciation. I love when a writer can go beyond the surface of a story, and dissect how people may have really felt in a particular situation. Nichole is a genius wordsmith. Her book totally had me in tears many times, and laughing out loud just as much.
Two nights ago Dave and I went to see KEANE with another couple at the Ryman downtown. It was a great show and I loved getting to know Jodi and Chris. They are a new duo on our record label called "Love and the Outcome." They moved here from Canada not too long ago, and their record comes out in August.
Here we are before the show with Jodi. Isn't she so pretty? I'm inspired to get a new tube of red lipstick! tres chic!
It was sort of a celebration of the band's signing, so David wanted to take them to dinner before. We ate at The Palm, which has one of my favorite salads in the city. It's called the "Gigi". I have no idea why, but here it is…
Shrimp, avocado, green beans, bacon…yup! I love salads, but especially when someone else cuts up all the stuff for me. :0)
Here is Keane on stage. If you don't have any of their music, Hopes and Fears is the one to buy… however, if you already have that, their newest one, Strangeland, is totally awesome.
Just my opinion. But I don't lie.
We have been busy this week with after school activities and such, so I'm looking forward to the weekend and a little downtime. I am hosting a friend's Bachelorette Party tonight at my house. It will be a tame one - Caroline is planning on helping me. Someone else is doing all the cooking (Thai) and all I have to do is set the table and get dessert. I'm excited for someone else to cook in my kitchen besides "yours truly." Bring that on.
David promised to smoke a turkey in his smoker on Saturday for me. I'm holding him to that. It's already thawing in the fridge! We just might have a repeat Thanksgiving Saturday night…hahahaha…wonder if I can hold that Thai chef over??
I hope ya'll have a beautiful weekend.

A film dramatizing the death of Osama bin Laden will debut next month on the National Geographic Channel, two days before the presidential election.
The channel says it will air "Seal Team Six: The Raid on Osama bin Laden," distributed by The Weinstein Company on Sunday, November 4.
Company co-chairman Harvey Weinstein is a prominent fundraiser for President Barack Obama's re-election campaign.
National Geographic Channel President Howard T. Owens said Thursday that the film's air date is unrelated to politics and was chosen to help promote the start of the channel's fall season.
He says Weinstein doesn't schedule the network's programming.

Varsity spikers sweep Magna Vista to capture fourth win
- Last Updated on 05:01 PM 09/13/12
- BY Doug Ford
The Halifax County High School varsity volleyball team rebounded from a rough outing in the finals of its invitational tournament to sweep Magna Vista in three straight games Tuesday at Comets Gym.
The Comets dominated game one, with Whitney White getting a number of blocks at the net, allowing Halifax to surge to leads of 10-2 and 17-3 before cruising to a 25-8 win.
Things got much tougher the remainder of the match, and in a back-and-forth game two Halifax did not lead until 18-17. Magna Vista tied the game at 20-20 before the Comets scored five of the next six points for a 25-21 win.
Game three was equally competitive, with neither team leading by more than two points before Halifax made a late-game surge to lead 18-11.
Magna Vista rallied to within 21-15, but the Comets scored four of the next six points to win the game and clinch the match win.
Meg Bane led the Comets with six service aces, most of them coming in game three during the Comets' key run late in the game.
Kendall Lloyd led in good serves with 18 and service points with 15, while Jordan Miller led in kills with seven
Lloyd and Miller each had 11 attacks to lead Halifax, while Miller had 11 effective passes, Bane 32 effective sets, and White eight blocks, all team highs.
Head Coach Tiffaney White liked the way her team responded after a disappointing loss to Altavista in the finals of the Comets' invitational tournament on Saturday.
"We didn't have a very good practice yesterday, and we had a little intensity problem," White explained. "We stopped practice and I had a long talk with them about getting what you want and how to work for it.
"We do have a tendency to play like the other team, but I was really proud of the serving today.
"I think we made four service errors, and we normally average about 16.
"We got to play everybody in the second game, which was great."
The Comets were able to pick up their intensity where it dropped during the match, and they were able to come back from deficits in both games two and three, White noted.
"I'm really proud of the job they did today, I'm pleased with their athleticism today and with their attitude," said White.
"I'm absolutely pleased with the way they finished tonight.
Service Aces: Bane six; Lloyd, Miller five; McFadden four; Gabrielle Spainhour one
Good Serves: Lloyd 18; Bane 13; Autumn McFadden 12; Miller 10; Kelsy Williams, Spainhour, Cori Campbell, Chris Bradshaw one
Service Points: Lloyd 15; Bane 12; McFadden, Miller nine; Spainhour two
Kills: Miller seven; Lloyd five; White three; Bradshaw, Megan Puckett, Williams one
Attacks: Lloyd, Miller 11; Williams 10; White five; Bradshaw four; Spainhour two; Puckett one
Good Passes: Miller 11; Lloyd seven; McFadden four; Puckett three; Lelia Conner, Bradshaw, Williams two; Spainhour one
Good Sets: Bane 32; Campbell six; Williams three; Miller two; McFadden one
Blocks: White eight; Williams three

An unidentified man from Middlesex County is this year's first person to be infected by the West Nile Virus in Massachusetts, according to the state's Department of Health and Human Services.
The man is in his 60s and lives in a community north of Boston, according to a press release from the Department of Health and Human Services Aug. 15. The man was diagnosed with West Nile Virus in late July, the release said; he remains hospitalized but is recovering.
Testing conducted on July 24 found the virus in mosquito pools in neighboring communities including Medford, Malden and Melrose, according to state data.
Mosquitos infected by the virus have been found in 48 communities and nine counties in Massachusetts so far this year, according to the press release.
As result of the human case, West Nile threat levels have been raised to "moderate" in Arlington, Belmont, Cambridge, Somerville and Watertown, according to the press release. Winchester is still at the "low" risk level.
The following prevention tips are courtesy of the Department of Health and Human Services.
Avoid Mosquito Bites
- Apply Insect Repellent when Outdoors. Use a repellent with DEET (N, N-diethyl-m-toluamide), permethrin, picaridin (KBR 3023), oil of lemon eucalyptus [p-methane 3, 8-diol (PMD)] or IR3535 according to the instructions on the product label. DEET products should not be used on infants under two months of age and should be used in concentrations of 30% or less on older children. Oil of lemon eucalyptus should not be used on children under three years of age.
- Be Aware of Peak Mosquito Hours. The hours from dusk to dawn are peak biting times for many mosquitoes. Consider rescheduling outdoor activities that occur during evening or early morning.
- Clothing Can Help Reduce Mosquito Bites. Wearing long-sleeves, long pants and socks when outdoors will help keep mosquitoes away from your skin.
Mosquito-Proof Your Home
- Drain Standing Water. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in standing water. Limit the number of places around your home for mosquitoes to breed by either draining or discarding items that hold water. Check rain gutters and drains. Empty any unused flowerpots and wading pools, and change water in birdbaths frequently.
- Install or Repair Screens. Keep mosquitoes outside by having tightly-fitting screens on all of your windows and doors.
Protect Your Animals
Animal owners should reduce potential mosquito breeding sites on their property by eliminating standing water from containers such as buckets, tires, and wading pools — especially after heavy rains. Water troughs provide excellent mosquito breeding habitats and should be flushed out at least once a week during the summer months to reduce mosquitoes near paddock areas. Horse owners should keep horses in indoor stalls at night to reduce their risk of exposure to mosquitoes. If an animal is diagnosed with WNV or EEE, owners are required to report to DAR, Division of Animal Health by calling 617-626-1795 and to the Department of Public Health (DPH) by calling 617-983-6800.
More information, including all WNV and EEE positive results from 2012, can be found on the Arbovirus Surveillance Information web page at www.mass.gov/dph/wnv or by calling the DPH Epidemiology Program at 617-983-6800.

They didn't actually hit Wanda, she took falling damage from a head first dive and was probably moving very quickly already. The archons managed to take out three uncroaked fliers, and two of the weakest undead. So with 30 archons thats like nine to a unipegatur and another for each rider. It looks like it takes about 9 archersto croak a dwagon. And since unipegaturs are definitly weaker than dwagons... err... thats not really impressive.More than enough potency to blast a Master Class Croakamancer and a stack of flying uncroaked, killing all of the uncroaked and critically wounding the caster. When it's not their turn, by the way;

This is a shiny combination of magic, other casters can do this as well.The ability to grant dance fight capabilities to forces who were described as being incapable of dance fighting;
This is a function of flying, nothing special at all.And they can fetch you your carpet even when they have zero move.
In the first book we didn't know what they could do. So it seemed like they could do anything. In this one we know their ablities, and we also know most of them can't do everything. Archons also don't get all of the six possible ablities, only a few. They are still very powerful, and they have very useful ablities. But they can't do as much as it seemed in book one.I may have missed some, since the list is so long. But in short, the Archons in TBfGK had the power of plot: They had whatever ability was needed at the time, regardless of whether the readers had been given any inclination that they possessed this capability. They were in essence a flying Deus ex machina, capable of solving any plot issue which needed solving.
The Archons have been less of a spoiler in this Book, which is a very good thing. But then again, Charlie has been trying very hard to operate only through puppets in order to keep his involvement a secret. Now that he has been revealed to both Jetstone and Haggar this may change.

Streetcar supporters are launching a campaign to put a charter amendment on the February ballot forcing the city to finish the streetcar. The group We Believe in Cincinnati says it needs 5,700 signatures but is aiming for 12,000 by Saturday.
The Cincinnati Police and Fire Departments are continuing to deal with problems because of the decreasing number of personnel.
The police and fire chiefs both addressed Council's Law and Public Safety Committee Monday.
Police Chief Jeffrey Blackwell said a smaller staff means it takes officers longer to respond to 911 calls for service, even those that are a priority. And it could cause a change to the way the department polices the city.
Cincinnati Parks Director Willie Carden has informed Mayor John Cranley he's withdrawing from consideration to be the next city manager, according to a statement from the Mayor's spokesman.
Hamilton County Parks is looking for volunteers for its Winter Bird Count on Saturday, December 14, from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The park district says keeping a running count of native birds is critical to monitoring environmental trends in the parks. Volunteers are encouraged to bring their binoculars, bundle up and head out to help for the whole or just part of the day. At 4:15 p.m., find out the grand tally of all the parks at Winton Woods' Winton Centre.

Rugby - St Edwards 10 Trafford MV 32
Updated 3:33pm Monday 24th February 2014 in Sport
TRAFFORD MV went to Merseyside St Edward Old Boys
MV needed to pull together and take on the opposition up front to get a good platform to play from.
The forward performance came good and tries for stand in captain Danny Burke, Paul Hodgson and veteran John Kevan epitomised this forward dominance.
The team as a whole could, and should, have done better with the home side only fielding 14 men but a good win was enough.
Winger Jamie Kingdon ran in a further two tries for MV to show the expansive side of their game and stand off Stuart Crampton added two conversions and a penalty.
The home side were never a real threat but did manage a converted try and penalty as compensation.
MV are now just a single point behind Heaton Moor, who have a game in hand, but the pressure is now on them not to slip up.
Trafford MV will be at home on Saturday against ninth placed Garstang - MV will be confident going into this game and players will be keen to get back to training on drier pitches and putting the work in to get improving results as the season gets to its crucial stages. Kick off is at 2.15pm.

The Prospero File System: A Global File System Based on the Virtual System Model (1992)

Years of Citing Articles
Distributed file systems have come into widespread use in recent years. Many allow files to be accessed over large geographic areas and across organizational boundaries. However, few systems to date have given much thought to how information should be organized in such a global environment. This paper describes the Prospero File System, a file system based on the Virtual System Model, a model for building large systems within which users construct their own virtual systems by selecting and organizing the objects and services of interest. This customized view of a globaJ file system makes it easier for users to keep track of files that they have identified as being of interest. The use of multiple name spaces can cause confusion. Such confusion is eliminated by support for closure: ever) ' object has an associated name space, and names specified by the object are resolved in that name space. Tools are provided to allow views to be kept up-to-date, and to allow views to be defined as functions of other (possibly changing) views. These tools promote sharing and enable the organization of files in ways that make it easier to identify information of interest than it is in existing systems. The prototype implementation has been used to organize information available from Internet archive sites; its directory service has been used from more than 7,500 systems in 29 countries. This paper discusses the goals of the Prospero File System, describes the prototype implementation, and discusses experience with the use of the system to date.

UPDATE [2:30 p.m.] Police have identified two men who attempted to steal scrap metal from Classic Coach shortly before 7 a.m. Thursday.
One man, John Polakowski, 20, of Waterbury, has been taken into custody. The other man, Wayne Conroy, 43, of Naugatuck, is still being sought by police.
According to state police, a Seymour K9 Officer responded to the scene and tracked from the driver's seat of the suspect's pickup truck to the Oxford water pump station house, where Polakowski was found hiding. He was taken into custody without incident.
Additional State Police K9 Troopers responded to set up additional tracks and searched a large, heavily wooded area for the second suspect without success.
After a brief investigation police were able to reveal the identification of the second suspect in this larceny, Conroy, who fled from the suspect vehicle. Conroy has multiple active warrants on file for his arrest.
Polakowski was immediately processed and charged with larceny, interfering with police and numerous motor vehicle violations. He is being held on bond, and was transported to Waterbury Superior Court for arraignment.
The investigation is ongoing, according to state police.
[ORIGINAL STORY] One man is in custody and police are searching for another after a robbery was interrupted at a Southbury business Thursday morning.
According to Resident Trooper Sgt. Dan Semosky, two men fled from Classic Coach, 1319 Southford Rd. in Southbury, after an attempted robbery and headed down Rt. 67 towards Oxford.
According to Classic Coach employee Slade Mongelli, the two men were attempting to steal scrap metal and were discovered by an employee. The two men then sped away in their vehicle.
The vehicle used in the attempted robbery was later dumped at the Immanuel Lutheran Church, 25 Great Hill Rd. in Oxford.
A perimeter has been set up in along Rt. 67 in Oxford near Fritz's Snack Bar, 72 Oxford Rd., according to Semosky.
Approximately 15 officers from Southbury, Oxford and Seymour, and three dogs are currently searching a swamp area behind Fritz's.

---- — ROCKPORT — Town officials from the Department of Public works are now weighing their options on how to protect about 150 cottages that sit behind the Long Beach seawall from storm and wave damage.
Members of the state's office of Coastal Zone Management met Tuesday with Rockport's DPW and staff members to explore possible solutions and discuss how to repair the aging seawall, which would cost an estimated $13 million.
The erosion of Long Beach is also apart of the problem, as DPW Board of Commissioners member Jim Gardener cited anecdotal evidence the beach has eroded anywhere from two to six feet in recent years. Rebecca Haney, a coastal geologist with the Coastal Management Zone, said the beach has become so eroded it is almost incapable of sustaining a seawall.
Gardener questioned the benefit of improving the seawall and its effectiveness, adding that any such project's anticipated $13 million price tag would likely be out of the town's reach. Gardener said there are no official wave analysis numbers from the Federal Emergency Management Agency yet, but wave heights could increase as much as 10 feet beyond the existing seawall.
"Realistically, there is no way we can prevent water from going over," Haney said.
One option presented by CZM staff members is too raise the elevation of the houses themselves and allow water to flow underneath them.
Haney said that, as water travels around houses, it creates channels that could further damage a second row of cottages, and eventually flow into the marshes and roads behind the beach. She said there are FEMA grants available to offset the cost of raising the homes, an additional incentive would be the insurance rates on the houses could drop significantly as a result.
Haney said coastal areas in Quincy and Scituate have had success in flood mitigation and prevention by elevating houses.
Kathryn Glenn, the regional coordinator with CZM, said a plan for the whole area needs to be created involving the beach, the seawall and the land behind it.
"Their protection depends on how well the beach is protected,"
Along those lines, another option by CZM staff was to look into how sediment nourishment and relocation might help Long Beach and prevent further erosion.
Ward Talbot, a longtime resident of Long Beach, said he has seen the contour Long Beach can change overnight. He also noted the marshes behind Long Beach have rising water levels when the waves do hit, in addition to causing damage to Thatcher Road.
Officials agreed about the need for a feasibility study that would measure the effect of sediment nourishment and transport systems, adding and relocating sand along the beach to prevent erosion.
Haney said that, if the seawall is repaired, it would likely have to be done oin conjunction with beach restoration efforts.
Department of Public Works Director Joe Parisi said an article for a sediment transport system feasibility study would hopefully make its way onto the Annual Town Meeting warrant.

When I was growing up there was ONE coach and the TEAM.
Check out this photo of the Florida State Seminoles at McCamish Pavilion vs. Georgia Tech. How many coaches and trainers do you need? Besides all the suits standing, the real coach is kneeling on the floor in the huddle.
It's not just this way with the Seminoles. Tech and all the teams are this way.
What is the coach-to-player ratio? 1-to-1?
Don't get me wrong, I love sports and my son and I enjoyed a great time together at the Tech game vs. the Seminoles. But, as I sat there and looked at the bench, half-filled with grown men in suits, it was truly laughable.
My opinion...sports are often taken way too seriously today. My vote, let's go back to ONE coach and the TEAM.

This beer poured clear and gold. It had a very faint aroma that was a earthy with a bit of hops. It tasted light, crisp, slightly hoppy, and a little bitter.
The beer was balanced and not overpowering. Very session-able.
Would I buy it again? Yes.

Bottle from Asda, Enniskillen:
Clear and light coloured beer with a golden yellow colour and a bubbly, white head on top.
Sweet and with a helping of citrus and some grassy hops as well. There is also some light malts and a few light floral notes thrown in for good measure too.
Citrus and some floral hops upfront with a few sweet malts as weel but these are not as strong. There is a little honey and butterscotch around the middle too and overall it is a pretty sweet tasting beer.
Light-medium in body with lively carbonation and a slightly bitter finish.
A pretty average pale lager/helles beer with a taste that was beer than that of a mass market, industrial produced beer but it wasn't quite craft lager either; well not in my opinion anyway. It was drinkable and pleasant enought but at the same time it wasn't great and one bottle was enough to do me.

BB 10/2013, served chilled in a pint-size weizen glass.
A: straw in colour, fairly good clarity, a thin white foamy head lasts surprisingly well, on top of constant streams of fine carbonation.
S: sweet and grainy lager malts balanced with Saaz hops' grassy notes and a "plastic-ish" nose not unlike the drier version of German pilsener, added with a whiff of sour kick in the background, a bit dough-ish and a bit lemon-y as well. Very pleasant.
T: interestingly neutrally-flavoured… is the first impression; malts are subdued, hops are understandably muted, but then gradually a rather spicy/tannic bitterness manifests, developing in a fashion far more like that of a Bitter! Chewy and bitter in the finish, while the palate is littered with random notes of sour-ish fruits and faint grainy malts here and there…
M&D: clean on the palate, refreshingly carbonated, medium-bodied and overall the flavour, albeit unbalanced, is like neither one's traditional Czech Pilsner, nor a generic, malty but thin pale lager from international brewing empires. The result is a rather bitter, clean, "beer", which is very drinkable to me.

Hazy sunshine yellow with a dense rocky carpet of snow white foam that sticks around forever and leaves big chunky trails. Some clean grain, soapiness, slight Saaz spice and surprising yellow plum on the nose.
Toasted pan and lemon rind with some seriously peppery arugula hops with a sour apple hit in there somewhere.
Roasted tobacco end bitter leafy linger. Crisp, soft and round.
A big quencher and, with the exception of the fruitiness, a pretty straight ahead German lager. The toast and herbal bitterness is a bit much in this one, but I've had A- pints on draught. Whitewater brings quality, as usual.

Served at the Garrick pub in Belfast, Northern Ireland. A bottle was poured into a Harp pint glass. Reviewed from notes.
A: Three finger of impressive cream for a lager. Standard lager clear yellow colour.
Sm: Clean barley; straw. Hops, crystal malt.
T: Crystal hops, malt, standard barley lager taste, but done well. A bit off balance; the open and finish are lacking in flavour compared to the body, a feature I'm finding is common from this brewery. I don't taste the yeast the bottle claims is present.
Mf: Surprisingly thick for a lager, and welcomely so. (Is 'welcomely' really a word? It is now!) A bit too coarse, however.
Dr: Steep price, decent beer.

Bought this 500mL bottle in Northern Ireland on a trip to Belfast and enjoyed it back home in Dublin.
Pours a nice yellow straw color-light to let the light through with a tiny little white bubbly head that disappears quite quick.
Smells great, much more aroma then you would expect from a lager. Some grass and hoppy notes with a tad of citrus.
The hops is great in this lager and is the overwhelming factor. Slightly bitter with some light floral hints too-tastes great.
Finishes slightly dry with a bit of bite to the hops and a little unbalanced, but overall is nice.
I was quite impressed by this overall and quite happy-I haven't tasted an Irish beer like this before. I'd like to see more of this around and hope that it all tastes like this!

Pours clear golden with small creamy head and patchy downsliding lacing. Aroma is grainy malt and floral lemony hops.
Taste is clean floral citrus, light sweet malty with bittery finish. Mouthfeel is light, light-medium carbonation.
Overall, the beer is not bad, maybe more bittery than average, but lacks character.

This is great stuff. I first tried it on draught at the Septemberfest beer festival in Dublin's Phoenix Park last year. What a great day that was! Clear blue skies, beautiful scenery, mouth-watering organic food, a laid back atmosphere, and the finest beer Irish craft brewer's have to offer. I'd never heard of the Whitewater Brewery so I was keen to sample their wares. They had four brews on tap and I liked all of them (their Clotworthy Dobbin is especially good) but because the weather was so unusually fine by Irish standards I found myself in the mood for a nice refreshing lager. Belfast Lager didn't disappoint - it has just the right balance of bitterness and drinkability that I like in a beer.
It's virtually impossible to get this on draught in the Republic (the Bull & Castle in Dublin had a keg of it a while back but it didn't last long) but a few off-licenses stock it in bottled form so I recently picked up a couple. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that the bottled beer is almost as fresh and hoppy as the draught variety. They brew it using only Saaz hops and maybe that's what gives it its crisp texture and strong, fresh aroma. It has a nice, long citrus aftertaste, it holds its flavour to the last drop, and, for a lager, its got bite to beat the band. Well done Whitewater!

500ml bottle , served chilled in a nonic pint glass
Pours with a rich straw yellow body with some amber hints thrown in. Bubbly and fizzy head forms about an inch thick settling down to a tight centimetre tall crown of foam. Some patches of lacing up and down the glass
Smell, some fresh wort, spent grains and husks. Little bit of malt extract type aroma along with a fresh euro hop aroma. Some biscuity malt, slight vegetal touches although they are very subtle
Taste, crisp and peppery hop bite, spicy fruit and fresh lemon. Biscuity malt character holds the overall flavour up, a slightly dry lingering hop profile on the finish
A solid effort from the Whitewater brewery, a clean and drinkable lager

500ml bottle bought from GapWines, Belfast...
Poured a crystal clear pale golden colour... white head poured quite small and loose which faded quickly to light covering... lots of carbonation rushes to the surface... no real lacing..
Aroma - Strong freshly cut wet grass, light pale biscuity maltiness, floral hops, salty, light honey sweetness, light fruits (lemons, apples), some faint almond nuttiness, light spicy / peppery notes, some creamy vanilla...
Taste - Nice strong fruitiness (pineapples, apples, pears), good peppery hop bite, quite strong biscuity malts - especially for a lager, floral honey, grassy, some sea salt, light sweet caramel notes...
Feel - Smooth initially then a good sharp bite comes through... medium bodied... extremely thirst quenching and drinkable - a perfect session beer..
Overall - An excellent and local (for me anyway) lager... recommended...

PORTLAND -- Mayor Sam Adams and Commissioner Randy Leonard left elected office Thursday with their final Portland City Council meeting.
The two, who are often allies, did not seek reelection and their terms expire at the end of the year.
Both city leaders have scored victories but also been dealt defeats and criticisms during their tenures. Through it all, Adams said he kept his promises to Portlanders.
"I'm most proud of the result; and the results are more people are working, and it's from a strategy, not just by chance," he said. "More kids are graduating high school because of the team we put together. The city is more sustainable."
Randy Leonard wrapped up a decade as a Portland city commissioner. As fire commissioner, he worked to get a $72 million bond measure passed to replace fire trucks and rebuild Firehouse 21 that will bear his name.
He also pushed to create new city public bathrooms, and most recently, pushed to fluoridate the city's water supply. While Adams is weighing his next career move, Leonard says he is truly retiring.
"It kind of feels like when I graduated from high school: exciting but a little nervous about what's next. It's an experience I haven't had," said Leonard.
Both men's terms expire at the end of the year.

No Florence, Italy, trip for man who stole from Ralph Lauren PoloSeptember 14,2013Theft means no
Italy trip for man
BENNINGTON A man from Albany, N.Y., said he had lost a trip to Florence, Italy, as punishment for the activity leading to his charges of embezzlement and retail theft to which he pleaded guilty this week.
Neil Rosen, 20, pleaded guilty in Bennington criminal court to three misdemeanor charges, one count of embezzlement and two counts of retail theft.
The sentence for the charges was deferred for three years. If he avoids further legal troubles and follows the terms of his probation, Rosens criminal record will be expunged.
In an affidavit, Officer Christopher Mason of the Manchester Police Department said Rosen had been an employee at Ralph Lauren Polo over the summer. On July 12, Rosen admitted in a statement that he had stolen from the store on five occasions, taking $40 in cash and about $600 in merchandise.
The $40 was returned in July and restitution has been made to the store.
During Rosens court hearing Monday, Bennington County States Attorney Erica Marthage said one reason the state had reached a plea arrangement with Rosen was that his parents had taken the matter pretty seriously and imposed other consequences on their son, including canceling his planned trip to Florence.
David Silver, the attorney who represented Rosen, said Rosens parents were very distraught and disappointed in him and ashamed of his conduct and said Rosen felt the same way. Rosen added he was very ashamed.
Judge Nancy Corsones told Rosen he had lost something valuable when he lost the chance to travel abroad at a young age.

Kudos to Cartoon Network
January 31, 2007 1:58 PM
In my ongoing kid blog reports, I need to do a shout out today on behalf of Cartoon Network.
Here's why.
My six year-old son has developed a Pokemon addiction. Trust me—I have done nothing to foster it. In the meantime, I am trying to break the addiction by reading Harry Potter to him. But for now, though he's keen on tales of giants on motorcycles and boys who are wizards, he still likes Pokemon. I still don't know what Pokemon even are.
However, I did let him visit the Cartoon Network Web site the other day to check out Pokemon. And here's why Cartoon Network gets props—all I had to do was type in cartoonnetwork.com into the browser window. I walked into the other room and he figured out the rest. He was able to navigate the site, find the video player, locate the Pokemon episodes and get them to play all by himself.
And guess what? I don't have to report on the ins and outs of how the player worked or if it was easy to find or anything like that. Because obviously it was. Obviously it did the job. So a big hand to Cartoon Network—you get an A + for ease of use.

I write about communications, business and the ways the two intersect
In the spirit of the New Year, here's the story of an entrepreneur who created a business around the business of weight loss, and is providing other highly time-challenged and driven individuals (read: entrepreneurs) with a customized and permanent path to their weight loss and energy goals.
She is author, speaker, counselor and executive/life coach Wendy Darling (no relation to the fictional character, clearly), the founder of Thumbprints International LLC and creator of the program Loving Yourself Lean: Your Body, Your Life, Your Way.
I had the opportunity to meet this effervescent coach and entrepreneur at the December CEO Space business growth conference in Las Vegas earlier this month, where she presented and served as faculty. I promptly renamed her "Darling Wendy" for the balance of the week-long event. With her typical demeanor, she accepted the impromptu name with a smile.
Darling is a unique individual with two graduate degrees in counseling psychology and post-graduate work in traditional management. She was in the midst of a burgeoning 20-plus year career in organizational development when the life she once knew took a sharp left turn in the form of a major accident in 1991. Her life was spared, although her recovery required multiple years. Upon her return to life, she discovered new gifts that have led her to the development of entirely new modalities for healing and helping. Today she blends her classic training with a new and keen intuition that makes her highly efficient in helping all varieties of people – children, parents, and yes, fellow executives and entrepreneurs, to accomplish their seemingly impossible goals.
Today she is a frequent speaker–a radio and talk show personality–and has developed and delivered more than 50 programs to a collective audience of more than 250,000 people in the 20 years since her life changing and miraculous turn of events. These initiatives include the current Loving Yourself Lean program that provides individual coaching and virtual group sessions to help clients eliminate the emotional roadblocks that are restricting them from permanent success. In the process she guides clients in the development of customized nutritional and exercise/movement approaches that allow them to achieve their goals naturally, and in many cases with breakthrough speed.
For entrepreneurs, the industry of weight-loss is massive. By the numbers, ABC News estimates the following industry numbers as of 2012:
A January 2013 survey (reported in the February 2013 issue of Consumer Reports) by the Consumer Reports National Research National Research Center polled more than 1,300 licensed psychologists about the issues and strategies they considered essential for helping clients lose weight and also succeed in keeping it off.
The major issues the psychologists cited were as follows:
In general, psychologist respondents cited the issues of gaining mastery over behaviors and emotions related to eating as key to their clients' success, indicating that these two themes go together. Additionally 92% of the 306 respondents who provide weight loss treatment within their current practice reported their roles in helping clients "address underlying emotional issues related to weight gain."
These findings do not surprise Darling. Her own system is a unique program that is simple, yet can yield significant results for the clients she serves. She addresses the issues of discovering and healing the emotional and psychological blocks that lead to weight gain (and other unproductive behaviors) at the core of her growing roster of programs. Her Loving Yourself Lean program is a unique "healing" system, as she describes it: "I help clients get to the root of what is causing them to be overweight. When the core interference is removed, weight releases effortlessly." In this respect, weight loss programs are individually configured to each client. Most typically, they will run 90 days. She runs her the counseling and coaching portions of her practice through private virtual sessions that clients can obtain entirely independent of other services or can utilize in conjunction with periodic small group sessions of 10-20 individuals. (Even in a virtual setting, the group dynamic can be vital, she says).
The program is not inexpensive, but provides alternatives for plans that can be customized to incorporate private weekly counseling, group online sessions, or both. Darling is able to provide payment options, she tells me, and is also able to accommodate the challenging schedules of full-time company owners and entrepreneurs, which make up the majority of her weight-loss clientele. (In addition to being highly driven and accomplished individuals, her clients tend to include far more women than men, she says, although there are ample male participants, too.)
For those who are compelled by Darling's thinking and strategy but unable to participate in a full program, she offers resource materials, articles, and a schedule of live events and presentations on her website at www.lovinglean.com. Interested readers can also download an ebook of recipes and resources that she makes available free.
As an aside: while we have no business relationship together I will be joining Wendy's first 2014 program, beginning January 21, and will report back in future columns on my ongoing experience there.
In our interview, Darling and I also discussed the challenges of predominantly "manufactured" food in an industrial and entrepreneurial society, and the challenges of finding adequate time to meet the self-care requirements of movement/recreation, family time, and access to sufficient fresh air, water, nutritional diet, relaxation and sleep. All of these issues are factors in the ability to achieve consistent leanness and health.
But even deeper than these issues, she confirms, are the challenges of addressing and healing the emotional barriers to optimal health. When these are mastered, the progress is natural. One recent client released a total of 60 pounds within the 90-day program, with relative ease. Another has released 15 pounds, even through the time period that included Thanksgiving and Christmas.
While weight-loss strategies and quick fix programs are rampant, Darling's experience underscores Consumer Reports' findings that point to the need for emotional balance and skills at the core of a successful program. Beyond personal improvement, for entrepreneurs who are continuing to seek opportunities, the weight-loss industry continues to be one of our society and culture's greatest market opportunities for businesses and service providers to fill. What are your own fitness and health goals for 2014, and how do you intend to reach them? I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
Great approach. Quick fixes quickly end up in disappointment and often adverse effects. It simply boils down to this thought. "Am I willing to give up something good for something better!" Then it becomes a choice rather than I must or I have to etc.
To all those who choose to give up something good for something better in any area of their lives
To the best year of our lives
This is such a progressive, yet utterly sensible way of approaching sustainable weight loss. It makes complete sense that our experiences can show up in our health, relationships, and business results too! How great is it that Wendy Darling has the ability to show people how to not only lose the weight we struggle with on a consistent basis, but is also able to translate those results into improving one's relationships and business success as well. Wow! It's like one-stop shopping! Love it!
Thanks for finding this gem and sharing Cheryl. Great way to start off 2014!
Cheryl, some of these numbers are shocking! While I'm interested in your success on Darling's program, you don't need to lose weight!
How i lost 70lbs. (38 years old)
1. know that its your body! treat well and the rewards will be great!
2.Drink lotsssss of water. forget the juices! nothing but empty calories!
3.Prepare your meals on Sundays for days Mon-Wed and on Weds prepare Thurs-Sat
4.Supplement to avoid bad choices when hungry. I use Herbalife (very expensive) but i get it for 50% of from http://stores.ebay.com/HealthVision?_rdc=1
5. slow and steady wins the race.
Food portions are not the answer, the people have been fed obesity by the food-makers processed food chemicals. Processed food chemicals cause inflammation diseases like obesity and increased weight gain.
Obesity is an inflammatory condition which the food makers purposely create. The food makers make huge profit of processed food chemicals and they want to fat.

Treat Yourself to Scholarships for Studying Spooky Subjects
Studying something associated with Halloween, like bats or candy, can pay off all year long.
On Halloween, goblins and ghouls begin peeking around corners, walking down sidewalks and knocking on doors asking, "Trick-or-Treat?" But even if you're too old for trick-or-treating, a love of things associated with Halloween can pay off – and not just at the end of October.
There are several college scholarships for subjects that fit right in with jack-o'-lanterns, vampires and other spooky things.
In 1986, four young men in Delaware were inspired by a nearby physics class that had challenged its students to a pumpkin throwing contest. They decided to pick up their own pumpkins and start tossing. The annual event became known as "Punkin Chunkin," and it escalated quickly to include machinery and all sorts of other pumpkin-launching tools.
[Learn how college engineering programs are changing.]
John Ellsworth won the first year's contest with a 136-foot toss. In 2012, winning teams tossed pumpkins more than 3,000 feet, and the event has raised thousands of dollars for local scholarships.
To qualify for one of the Punkin Chunkin scholarships, you must be a senior student attending one of the accredited high schools in Sussex County, Del. You must also have registered for either the previous year's Punkin Chunkin event or be registered for the current year's.
Recipients must be studying "Chunkin-related fields," as the organizers' website puts it, such as mechanical technology, agriculture or engineering.
Students who are dedicated to creating one-of-a-kind costumes may be interested in a scholarship from the National Costumers Association. The association offers a scholarship targeted at students who are interested in studying theater or costume design while in college.
You must at least 17 years old and maintain a 2.75 GPA or higher in order to apply. The funding for this scholarship fluctuates annually, and so does the amount awarded in scholarships.
If you're more interested in things that go "bump" in the night, perhaps studying bats will suffice, even if they may not be of the vampire variety. The Bat Conservation International organization has annual student research scholarships, where students may receive up to $5,000 for a one-year award.
Scholarships are awarded to current college or graduate students from all over the world. The scholarships are based on student's interest in bat conservation and the ecosystems they affect worldwide, as well as research studies in areas such as bat roosting, bat eating behavior or solutions to bat nuisance issues.
[Find out more about scholarships for wildlife studies.]
Got a candy craving and an aptitude for science? You may want to take a look at the American Association of Candy Technologists to help satisfy your sweet tooth. The organization's John Kitt Memorial Scholarship is a $5,000 scholarship that's paid in two $2,500 installments after the winner is enrolled in college.
The scholarship is aimed at students who are interested in confectionery science and research and are dedicated to helping the confectionery industry advance worldwide. Scholarships just don't get sweeter than this.
[Get additional advice on paying for college.]
If experimenting in laboratories is more up your alley, consider a scholarship from the American Society for Clinical Pathology in conjunction with Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics. For the past 10 years, these scholarships have helped students accomplish their dreams and attend college, while focusing on degrees in medical laboratory science or other areas of laboratory medicine.
There are four different kinds of scholarships, ranging from $500-$2,000, each with different monetary values and criteria.
No matter what you're interested in, there is a scholarship out there that fits what you're looking to study. Whether that's something creepy and crawly, or a sweet treat, there are plenty of opportunities out there to find the help you may need to pursue your education.
Lindsay Marcil joined Scholarship America in 2013 and is an alumna of the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn.
