Back East Brewing Co. joined the ranks of the state's growing craft beer industry this month and plans to have their locally crafted beer available on package store shelves in late July or early August.
"At package stores we'll have half gallon growlers of our Ale, Golden Ale, and Misty Mountain IPA, and 750ml bottles of our Imperial Stout and Imperial IPA," said the brewery's co-founder, Tony Karlowicz. "We'll also have draft beer at fine restaurants throughout the area."
The Back East Brewing Co. is one of a number of new breweries that will open this year statewide, giving consumers and those working to boost the local economy a bit of good news.
"We're very excited to be a part of this growing community of local breweries," said Karlowicz. "Connecticut residents are very supportive of small, local businesses, and also enjoy drinking better tasting beer. We're excited to be able to offer Connecticut residents a new local brew."
Area enthusiasts will also have a new craft beer destination when the brewery's tasting room, located at 1296A Blue Hills Avenue in Bloomfield, opens for business on Wed, July 18.
"We'll be open 4 - 7 p.m., Wednesday through Friday for growler fills and merchandise," said Karlowicz. "We'll have Saturday hours from 12 - 4 p.m., and we'll offer tours every hour with our last tour being at 3 p.m."
Back East Brewing Co. aims to embrace recent efforts to unify the state's craft beer industry by participating in the CT Craft Brewers Guild and serving as a stop along the state's burgeoning CT Brewery Trail.
"I think the CT Brewery Trail is a great way to bring recognition to CT's growing community of breweries. We want people to know we're part of the community," said Karlowicz. "You'll always be able to get fresh beer from our tap room, see what's happening, pick up some merchandise, and stop by and tell us what you think."
Back East will formally celebrate their grand opening with a launch party on Saturday, Aug 11 , from 12 - 4 p.m. The event will feature tastings, tours and a chance to meet the Back East team. The brewery will also have a couple of special items and surprises at the event, including limited quantities of their inaugural batch of Imperial Stout in limited edition 750ml bottles.
Keep your eyes on Back East Brewing and be sure to ask your local beer store and bars for their beer.

Recent technical innovations in the use of 15N stable isotopic tracers at the ecosystem scale have produced a wealth of data on the fate of N inputs to terrestrial ecosystems. Although this analytically intensive technique has been used at over 20 sites world wide, there have been few attempts at cross-site synthesis. Here we propose a series of working group activities to synthesize ecosystem-scale 15N tracer experiments across a wide geographic range of ecosystem types. While at NCEAS, we propose to develop three products: (1) a standardized protocol for application and analysis of 15N tracer studies, (2) a meta-analysis of the fate and redistribution of N across sites and ecosystem types, and (3) an inter-site comparison with the TRACE model, a simulation model that predicts the fate of N inputs over long time scales. Through these activities, we will address questions about controls over the fate of N inputs in terrestrial ecosystems and the consequences of increased N deposition.

LEWISBURG — Enjoy an afternoon of comedy and illusion with John Westford on Saturday, Sept. 28, at the Campus Theatre, downtown Lewisburg. The show starts at 2 p.m.
Tickets are $15 and on sale at Pronto, 232 Market St., Lewisburg.
Is it possible to cut a woman in half and put her back together? Is it possible to read minds? Is it possible for people to appear and disappear? Is it possible for two people to switch places in the blink of an eye?
Westford will have you believe it's all possible. A dynamic entertainer, Westford's interest in magic began with a magic set and a $5 paycheck for a birthday party. Several years later, while attending a local show with national acts "The World of Illusion," he was hooked. For the next three years, he studied the fundamentals of this mysterious art with the producer and star of that show.
Performing local shows helped put Westford through college and made him very popular at various political functions as he began a more conventional career with the Pennsylvania State Senate. But in the summer of 1990, he left his 9 to 5 job and move to Richmond, Va., to star in a variety stage show — a new concept for Paramount's King's Dominion.
His show opened to rave reviews and well more than 300 performances later, the act was ready when Nabisco launched a nationwide talent search. Westford was selected from thousands of magicians nationwide to perform live on stage with Harry Blackstone, Jr. in Atlantic City.
His success in Atlantic City led to high-end corporate gigs in New York City, an appearance on national television and bookings on all the major cruise lines, including appearances with Alabama, The Beach Boys, Jackson Brown, Clint Holmes and the legendary Jerry Lee Lewis along the way.
Recently, Westford moved into the acting world, with work on television ("Celebrity Ghost Stories," "Boardwalk Empire" and "Political Animals"), featured background in major motion pictures ("Law Abiding Citizen," "It's Complicated" and "Paranoia") and co-starring in a national commercial for American Petroleum Institute. His innate sense of humor, quick wit and award winning partner, Susan (recently named "Assistant of the Year" by the Magician's Alliance of Eastern States) have made Westford's show popular with audiences around the globe.

Beekmantown Board minutes report that the Middle School assistant principal has resigned and that the director of physical education is a half-time position. Beekmantown needs to follow the lead of Saranac, Plattsburgh and other schools by combining two positions into one position, saving the school money.
The statute of limitations on bank fraud is about to run out for the crimes committed by the Wall Street bankers who crashed the economy four years ago. This is apparently what both "our" state and national governments are waiting for, so they don't have to confront their wealthy, evil contributors with indictments.
The reason most jobs are going overseas is because of a liberal Democrat policy of affirmative action. America's best, brightest and most qualified are being passed over for mediocre people because of diversity. Whatever happened to the best person for the job and not their nationality?
When you have a doctor's appointment and the doctor is running behind, don't glare at the receptionist. She has nothing to do with getting you back there.

You shall be solely responsible for your own and your End Users' User Content and the consequences of using such Content in connection with the Service. In connection with User Content, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant:(i) that you own, or have the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use, and to the extent of your own rights and as may be necessary to provide the Services to you or your End User further authorize DreamHost to use, all patent, trademark, copyright, or other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Content, and to grant the rights and license described in Section 6(b); and (ii) that your User Content, DreamHost's possession of such User Content in connection with the Service, and DreamHost's exercise of the license rights described in Section 6(b), do not and will not infringe, violate, or misappropriate any third-party right, including any copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, moral right, privacy right, right of publicity, or any other intellectual property or proprietary right; or (B) violate these Terms of the AUP, and any applicable laws or regulations.

(e) Neutrality Policy. As a general company policy, DreamHost does not actively monitor, survey, crawl, supervise, or censor any User Content, and will not automatically block access to User Content that may violate the above Content Restrictions upon its discovery. Unless otherwise required by law, including in response to a subpoena or warrant, DreamHost will also refuse to honor any requests to inspect, survey, or search User Content for any materials suspected to violate the above Content Restrictions.
Except as described below, if a third party complains to DreamHost about User Content, DreamHost may transmit the complaint to you and leave the resolution of the dispute regarding User Content (including End User's User Content) to you without any further review or investigation. DreamHost will not question or overrule your resolution of the third-party complaint, even if you ultimately ignore the complaint, fail to respond to it, or fail to resolve it to the third party's satisfaction.

You understand and agree that you, and not DreamHost, are entirely responsible for all User Content that you and your End Users upload, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Service. DreamHost does not control User Content and does not have any obligation to monitor User Content for any purpose. If at any time DreamHost chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the User Content, in so doing DreamHost will assume no responsibility for the User Content, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate User Content, and no responsibility for the conduct of the User, any End User, or any other person or entity submitting any such User Content. You agree that you must evaluate and bear all risks associated with the use of any User Content, including any reliance on the accuracy, completeness, usefulness, or legality of such User Content.
9. Removal of User Content. If DreamHost determines in its sole discretion that User Content violates these terms or any applicable laws or regulations, DreamHost and its designees shall have the right (but not the obligation) at any time and in their sole discretion to refuse the uploading or transmission to, or to remove any User Content from the Service in whole or in part, with or without notice and with no liability of any kind to you, Users, or End Users.
10. Your Additional Obligations. You are solely responsible for your User Content, including without limitation its technical performance and operation and compatibility with the API, for maintaining appropriate security, for protection and backup of your User Content (which may include the implementation and deployment of encryption technology to protect User Content from unauthorized access above and beyond the security measures already implemented on the Service, as described on the website for the Service), for any and all claims regarding your User Content, and for the compliance of your User Content with these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations. In connection with your use of the Service, you agree that you (a) will comply with any terms and conditions a User or End User has attached to such User's or End User's User Content; (b) will take all reasonable steps to discourage End Users' uploading of User Content to the Service that violates these Terms and all applicable laws and regulation; (c) will insert a prominent and clear notice prominently into Your Application that allows your End Users to understand that DreamHost does not endorse Your Application or its content; (d) will comply with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations, including, without limitation, copyright and other laws protecting proprietary rights (including the DMCA, as defined in Section 23), and all applicable export control laws and regulations and country-specific economic sanctions implemented by the United States Office of Foreign Assets Control; (e) will properly handle and process notices that any person claiming that your User Content violated such person's rights (including notices pursuant to the DMCA) may send to you; (f) will obtain and maintain all licenses, permits, and any other necessary permissions ; (g) if Your Application involves payment or account information, will comply with all rules and regulations of any applicable payment network or association; (h) will ensure that all End Users comply with your obligations under these Terms and that the terms of your agreement with each End User are consistent with these Terms , and, if an End User fails to comply with these Terms, will immediately terminate the End User's access to User Content and the Service; (i) as between the Parties, will be solely responsible to provide customer service to your End Users; and (h) will provide any information and/or other materials related to Your Applications that DreamHost may reasonably request from time to time to verify your and End Users' compliance with these Terms.

You acknowledge, consent, and agree that DreamHost may access, preserve, and disclose your account information and User Content if required to do so by law, or if it believes in good faith that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary (a) to comply with legal process; (b) to enforce these Terms; (c) to respond to any claim that User Content violates any applicable laws or regulations, or the rights of third parties; (d) to provide certain customized features of the Service to you, if any; (e) to respond to your requests; or (f) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of DreamHost, its other Users, and the public. When you register for the Service you will be asked to provide a password. As you will be responsible for all activities that occur under your password, you should keep your password confidential. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account and password, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password. If you have reason to believe that your account is no longer secure (for example, in the event of a loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure or use of your account or password), you shall immediately notify DreamHost. YOU ARE SOLELY LIABLE FOR ANY AND ALL LOSSES THAT YOU, DREAMHOST, OR OTHERS MAY INCUR DUE TO ANY UNAUTHORIZED USE OF YOUR ACCOUNT
12. Fees and Payments. The Service requires you to pay a fee, the details of which are described on the DreamHost website and are indicated on the sign-up pages for the Service during your sign-up process. You agree to pay all fees and applicable taxes that you or anyone using your account incur. We may revise the pricing for the Service at any time. Unless otherwise noted, all fees are quoted and must be paid in U.S. dollars. All fees and charges are payable in accordance with payment terms in effect at the time the fee or the charge becomes payable. If there is a dispute regarding payment of fees or services that DreamHost provided you, your account may be closed without warning or notice at DreamHost's sole discretion. All amounts are to be paid without setoff or counterclaim, and without any deduction or withholding. DreamHost may charge you interest at the rate of 1.5% per month (or the highest rate permitted by law, if less) on all late payments. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE DESCRIBED IN ANY RETURN POLICY OR CANCELLATION POLICY, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT ANY APPLICABLE FEES AND OTHER CHARGES ARE NOT REFUNDABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART. YOU ARE FULLY LIABLE FOR ALL CHARGES TO YOUR ACCOUNT, INCLUDING ANY UNAUTHORIZED CHARGES.
13. Third Party Content. DreamHost, Users, and other third parties may provide software applications, data, media, text, audio and video recordings, photos, graphics, or other information or content in connection with the Service ("Third Party Content"). Such Third Party Content may be subject to additional fees, terms, and conditions as determined by the relevant third parties. DreamHost has no control over such Third Party Content, and therefore makes no claim or representation regarding, and expressly disclaims responsibility for, the accuracy, quality, legality, nature, availability, or reliability of such Third Party Content. The reference to or availability of any Third Party Content in connection with the Service does not imply DreamHost's affiliation, endorsement, or adoption of any Third Party Content. ACCESS TO AND USE OF THIRD PARTY CONTENT IS SOLELY AT YOUR OWN RISK. These Terms do not govern your use of any content (including without limitation any Third Party Content) or service other than the Service.

Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes your copyright or the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

What Is It?
Asthma is a chronic (long-term) lung condition. Air passages narrow and become inflamed. This leads to breathing difficulties and wheezing.
Asthma ranges from mild to severe. Some people have only occasional, mild symptoms. Others have nearly constant symptoms with severe, life-threatening flare-ups.
During an asthma attack, the airways become inflamed. They narrow as the muscles surrounding them constrict. Mucus produced by the inflammation fills the narrowed passageways. As a result, the flow of air is partially or completely blocked.
Asthma affects the lung's larger and smaller airways.
What causes asthma-related inflammation is not clear. But several environmental "triggers" have been identified.
Many asthma triggers are allergens. Allergens cause the immune system to overreact in some people. Common allergens include:
Also high on the list of asthma triggers are:
For some people with severe asthma, no specific triggers can be identified.
Asthma can develop early, often before age 5. But its symptoms can begin at any age. The condition has a genetic (inherited) component. It often affects people with a family history of allergies.

Hundreds sign up to keep notorious Blackburn killer in jail (From Blackburn Citizen)

Hundreds sign up to keep notorious Blackburn killer in jail
4:30pm Tuesday 4th September 2012 in News
HUNDREDS of suppporters have backed a family's plea to keep a killer behind bars.
The family of Michelle Calvy have expressed their gratitude to a staggering 930 people who have signed a petition to keep the rapist and murderer of the 16-year-old behind bars.
Anthony Entwistle is one of East Lancashire's most notorious killers and had served prison sentences for three rapes before he murdered the Blackburn teenager in 1987.
The 59-year-old Oswaldtwislte man is being considered for parole this year and could be released if it is judged he is no longer a danger.
The number of petition signatures has trebled in the past few days since the Lancashire Telegraph highlighted the family's plight.
Brother Paul Calvy said he was grateful for the immense support shown.
He said: "Thank you to all that have signed this petition but we need more. Please help to keep my sisters' killer behind bars.
"We would like to say a big thank you to Andrea Kay for getting the petition started. I can't put into words how much this means to my family and the memory of my sister Michelle. I would just like to ask everyone to please sign and share this petition."
When originally sentenced, the judge at Preston Crown Court told Entwistle, 38, at the time, that he would die in jail. He was one of 35 murderers told they will never be released.
The petition is at: submissions.epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/36769

If the Judge has said that he 'would die in jail', what has changed since that time to make him less of a risk?
Or is this one of those cases that has been sent before the European Courts of Justice on an Human Rights issue on the grounds that no matter how heinous the crime, a prisoner should be given a determinate sentence?
This should be easily fixed by taking him back to Court to correct the sentence as given.
For the rape, 14 years, and because this is your 4th offence it will be the minimum term you serve before parole. On the count of murder, a minimum term of 30 years before being considered for parole. The sentences to be served consecutively.
In other words, go to jail for 44 years then apply for consideration for parole.
If the aged ex-Financier Bernie Madoff can get 150 in clink without killing or raping, then why can we not hand down some decent sentences, like they do in the US? One guy got sentenced to 10 000 yrs.
What will his release date be, just in case you're worried – the year 12,744. Anyone want to plan his get-out-of-jail party?
Of course, 10 thousand years is a bit silly but a more modest 44 would do for starters.

When a new parliament is elected, one of the first orders of business, after they vote themselves a pay rise, is the thorny question of hanging. They are free to vote on their own opinions as to whether or not to re-introduce it. And here lies the problem..
If you ask a large sample size of people about it, they will say yes but MP's will vote No.
The only way to overcome this is to make sure that the prospective candidate is in favour of hanging, as it's been a waste of time asking any current MP to vote with his electors wishes.

Has anyone thought about if he IS released, where is he going to live, and will the people in that neighbourhood be informed?
Who would want him living close by? No female would be safe, no matter old they are.
Are the bigwigs going to take the risk, because if they are, why not place this serious offender in the same locality as where the judge who might free him resides - but that won't happen guaranteed.
Keep the petition going, make those involved take notice.

Due to reasons beyond our control HM Government e-petitions have closed down our e-petition after six weeks & over 2250 signatures, the reason they have given isn't a good enough reason in my opinion for doing this after six weeks. We are currently looking into this & will hopefully have a solution in the next couple of days, we are very sorry for this and hope we can still count on your support going forward. P Calvy
Why did downing street remove this e-petition?

The Tribune-Star
Few things in Terre Haute cause people to stare upward.
Storm clouds, maybe. A murder of crows blackening the wintertime sky at dusk downtown. Fourth of July fireworks above the Wabash River.
Almost every Hautean has gazed at those scenes. Yet one equally riveting sight has probably eluded most locals. They would stare if they saw it, though. Guaranteed.
That rarely seen gem is the stained-glass dome in the rotunda of stately Fairbanks Hall on the Indiana State University campus. With a 28-foot span, the multi-colored dome depicts an eclectic collection of 16 men and women. Some qualify as earthly legends, such as Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Jefferson, Mark Twain and William Shakespeare. A few remind you of the "Sesame Street" song "One of These Things Is Not Like the Other Ones" — Richard W. Thompson, a Hoosier who became secretary of the Navy, and Daniel Voorhees, a Terre Haute resident who became a U.S. Senator — simply because it's pretty hard to fit into a lineup also featuring Beethoven, Ulysses S. Grant and Thomas Edison.
For whatever reason, the artist commissioned to design the dome chose these particular 16 people and permanently joined them in a piece of leaded glass art. The era — the early 1900s — probably influenced the designer's thinking. So, if the fame of some hasn't stood the test of time, the dome itself has. It's hovered above the building at 222 N. Seventh St. since it opened in 1906 as the Emeline Fairbanks Memorial Library. The dome has been seen less often since 1979, though, when the building ceased to function as a library and ISU took it over. Today, Fairbanks Hall houses classrooms and a gallery for university art students.
Unless you're old enough to remember Fairbanks' library days, or you've studied art there since 1984 when ISU converted it, you probably haven't seen the stained-glass dome.
Fortunately, its public access is about to increase. A $150,000 renovation project is under way and scheduled to be completed by Aug. 6. A wall between the public entrance and the rotunda, which once obscured a visitor's immediate view of the dome, is being replaced with a frosted-glass divider. Heating ducts blocking the stained-glass are being moved.
When ISU took over the old library 32 years ago, a stipulation called for it to remain open to the public, said Fran Lattanzio, ISU professor of art and photography.
"People should be able to see it," she said.
Year after year, art students ask Lattanzio, Nancy Nichols-Pethick and their art faculty colleagues about the faces shown on the dome. They often wonder why George Washington didn't make the list. For the record, the 16 people are presidents Lincoln, Jefferson and Grant; writers Shakespeare, Victor Hugo, Washington Irving, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, James Whitcomb Riley and Twain; Hoosier politicians Thompson, Voorhees and Lew Wallace; Edison the inventor; Beethoven the composer; and, perhaps the most unique selection, 19th-century European artist Rosa Bonheur.
"It would be sort of interesting to know who was making those choices," said Nichols-Pethick, who teaches painting. Unfortunately, the name of the artist is a mystery to people at ISU and the Vigo County Public Library (now located at Seventh and Poplar streets). The architects of the Fairbanks building were William Homer Floyd and Charles E. Scott, but it's unlikely they crafted the delicate stained-glass artistry.
Whoever it was, they made some out-of-the-blue choices for the 16 faces, especially Bonheur, who died in 1899.
"She's the one that amazes me — a woman painter, instead of Michelangelo," said Nichols-Pethick.
Michelangelo created a pretty memorable ceiling in Rome. This one, while far less iconic, is also mesmerizing.
Men working on the Fairbanks Hall renovations stare at it, too. "The people that come in here during the summer to work on [the building] are just in awe," Lattanzio said.
They're not alone. "It still blows me away," Lattanzio said, "and I've been here since '84."
Actually, the dome was more spectacular in its earlier years. The architects of the original Fairbanks library — funded by local philanthropist Crawford Fairbanks in honor of his mother, Emeline — positioned the dome as a sky light, using the sun to illuminate it. But, to protect it from weather and reduce water leaks, the dome was covered by a roof in the 1960s. While artificial lights let the stained-glass features show, the brilliant glow of sunlight is difficult to replicate.
In a column last month, I encouraged Wabash Valley residents to use their summer to see parts of the community they've overlooked. I included the Fairbanks Hall dome on a list of must-see local sights. The best moment will probably be on or after Aug. 6, when the renovations are complete. Lattanzio said the ISU art department hopes some sort of public reception will mark its new look. The rotunda, which serves as a student art gallery, would be ideal for small campus receptions or functions, she added.
If they look up, they'll see something that fits the old phrase, "They just don't make 'em like that anymore."
The stained-glass piece represents "pretty much a lost art," said Scott Tillman, university architect for the past 17 years. "I don't know of anybody designing stained glass like they did at the turn of the century. It's a very expensive process to do anything like that grand a scale anymore."
Imagine an architect submitting a design for a new public library in today's lowest-bidder era, with a 28-foot stained-glass dome. Not gonna happen.
Thankfully, Crawford Fairbanks gave this one his blessing. Why not check it out this August?
(One suggestion: View it while lying on the rotunda floor. It'll spare you a stiff neck.)

Going beyond "Do you pray 5 times a day?"; 5 questions to ask your potential spouse
From soundmuslims blog
When we start pursuing a potential spouse, we tend to talk about fun stuff that may get them to like us, but may not help us figure out if they're a good match for the long run. Obviously, the pursual process is the precursor to a long-term never-ending relationship. Thus, if we spend some time exploring compatibilities now, it'll pay off inshaAllah.
Here are 5 questions you can ask that go beyond the basics. The key is to ask the right question the right way. Remember, this is not a way for you to judge whether someone is a good person or not, just if they're who you want to marry. Also keep in mind that we should ask ourseleves these questions first. If you're not ready for these, you won't make a good spouse to someone else either:
1. Are they learners for life?
If you have a person who is set in their ways and doesn't want to learn other ways (including being influenced by others), they are usually hard to get along with because everything has to be their way. They may not be particularly stubborn, but simply think their way is the only right way and that others should follow them. What does this have to do with learning? a person who likes to learn new things is more likely to be open to new ideas, and willing to learn ways to improve him/herself. A couple of questions you can ask:
"So (use the word "so" to make it a casual conversation, rather than an interrogation), have you read any good books recently that have changed the way you see things?"
"So how do you like to learn? books, lectures, classes, discussions?"
"How do you feel about a small, simple wedding?" - they don't have to agree to this, but the way they react can tell you a lot about him or her.
2. What is his or her family life like?
this provides insight into what your family life would be like. If they've got a family that's not close, and doesn't do stuff together, it is likely that family won't be important once they get married. You want to look specifically at his or her parents' relationship, and if the siblings are close to one another. This also gives insight into the person's aptitude for intimacy: if there's no respect and likeness, be careful. Ask,
"So, which of your siblings are you closest to?"
"Do you have a best friend?" - this can sometimes offer insight into a person's willingness to be close to others.
"So, what kind of role did your dad have when you were growing up? was he laid back with you or firm?" - a father who is too casual and laid back usually ends up with children who are spoiled and/or irresponsible.
3. What are their long term goals, and how do they plan on accomplishing them?
These are 2 questions in one. You first need to find out if they have goals, but more importantly,you need to find out how they intend to accomplish them. Many of us have a lot of plans, but when it comes to getting things done, we are disorganized and procrastinate. The first part is also helpful in finding out what their goals are beyond their deen, beyond the basics. The second partof the question will help you figure out how your potential spouse will help the household and family on a day-to-day, week-by-week basis. This is also crucial to find out if you will work well together; an organized person usually gets very frustrated with an unorganized one, and vice versa. Ask,
"Do you like TO DO lists?"
"How often do you feel stressed about errands?"
"How do you stay organized with your tasks?"
"So, where would you like to be in your spirituality in say 5 years?"
It is also essential that you find out what he or she spends most of their time doing, over a week or month, where do they spend their energy. There's really no question you could ask cause he or she may feel it to be a trivial or prying question. Just notice this quietly while you are pursuing them them.
4. Conflict Management:
You cannot avoid this no matter what. It is crucial to find out if your potential spouse knows how to deal with conflict. Please note, this does not mean that they always agree with you, but has to do with their communication style when a conflict arises. This is also important to see what your day-to-day interactions will be like. There are several styles, from avoidance to over-bearing; from independence to complete attchment. You want to look for someone who likes to engage in a respectful conversation when a conflict arises.
One way you can find out is to create a mild conflict. e.g., if your families are going out together, throw in "Can I bring a friend along?" etc.
5. Are you my Type?
Personality experts have identified 4 categories where people differ. If you study these, you can assess how compatible you are. Although being different in all 4 doesn't mean a bad match, you need to read up on your differences if you want to figure out where your challenges will be once married. Here are the 4 categories (known as the Meyers-Briggs personality traits):
Introvert vs. Extrovert: how outgoing and talkative you are.
Sensing vs. Intuitive: how you communicate; you say "tomato", they say "tomatoe"; it does make a difference!
Thinking vs. Feeling: Brain vs. Heart! how does one make their decisions. This is probably the most critical in figuring out how your day to day interactions will be.
Judging vs. Perceiving: Do you tend to judge people easily & voice it or do you tend to perceive things and keep quiet?
There are several books written on Meyer Briggs Personality Types. These contain useful information. There are also sites that let you take this test, so take it and get them to take it too.
Hope the above 5 questions help offer some guidelines and considerations during your pursual. These are by no means ways to find faults in people. Neither are these cut and dry; they are more of a scale. You will find people who have a mix of good and bad from the above.
One last thing: no matter how much time you put into this, and no matter how many meaningful conversations you have before you get married, you will still run into conflicts and still have differences in personalities. The secret of a successful marriage is to have mercy, perseverance and look to the examples of the Prophet P.B.U.H. But before you say"I do", find out if "You can"!

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Packers fall to Steelers; NFC North on the line Sunday
Green Bay — For the Green Bay Packers, it was one mistake too many.
One fumble followed by one drive that was one play too short late led to the Packers' 38-31 loss against the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday at Lambeau Field. But after seeing the Chicago Bears get waxed in Philadelphia, it didn't even matter. This coming Sunday, the NFC North will still be on the line at Soldier Field.
Against the Steelers, Green Bay showed some fight again. Trailing 31-21 after a Flynn pick-six, the team clawed back to tie this one at 31-31 on John Kuhn's 1-yard scoring plunge. But a Flynn fumble with less than two minutes left led to a Steelers touchdown. And after Micah Hyde's 70-yard return, a false start penalty triggered a costly 10-second runoff.
Flynn's final pass attempt to Jarrett Boykin sailed incomplete.
Yet thanks to the Eagles, Green Bay can still win the division in Chicago next weekend. It's been that kind of season for the NFL and the Packers.
Player of the Game: Le'Veon Bell. He was a handful. Eddie Lacy may be having the better season, but Bell was a force today. He rushed for 124 yards on 26 carries with a touchdown.
Turning point: The Flynn fumble. Last week, the Dallas Cowboys committed the costly turnovers to turn the game. This week, Green Bay was in the giving mood.
Big Number: 42 years — John Brockington's rookie rushing record held up before Eddie Lacy broke it on Sunday.
What went right: Green Bay ran the ball at will much of the day. Rookie Eddie Lacy (84 yards, two touchdowns) did the damage early, torpedoing into the end zone for a 14-yard touchdown. And when Lacy bowed out with an ankle injury, James Starks (43 yards) picked up the slack. Defensively, A.J. Hawk leapt for one interception that led to a field goal.
Receivers continued to make difficult catches, too. Jarrett Boykin caught the ball on the back of a cornerback's helmet and James Jones (nine receptions for 84 yards) did his part, as well.
What went wrong: Stopping the run was a problem again for the Packers. One week after DeMarco Murray ran wild before disappearing from the Dallas game plan, the rookie Bell was a handful. The strong, shift, leaping back from Michigan State hurdled Morgan Burnett on one 25-yard run. Antonio Brown was difficult to track on the slick Lambeau Field track. His 36-yard reception teed up one touchdown, and he finished with 105 receiving yards.
Penalties at crucial moments didn't help Green Bay—B.J. Raji had one hands to the face flag that kept a Pittsburgh drive alive, capped by Matt Spaeth catching an 11-yard touchdown inside Sean Richardson.
Perry's penalty was a killer. And another penalty late led to a 10-second run-off before Flynn's final pass.
Special teams woes persisted. In addition to the blocked kick and odd "illegal batting" penalty, the Steelers executed a fake punt on one touchdown drive. …On the pick-six, tight end Andrew Quarless bumped into Flynn and the quarterback's pass was intercepted and returned 40 yards to the end zone by Cortez Allen.
Outside linebacker Clay Matthews re-injured his broken thumb and did not return. Green Bay couldn't sustain a pass rush, finishing with only one sack and three hits on Roethlisberger.

O line had an ATROCIOUS day in pass blocking. What a waste.Hide replies
Really? That's your take? Not the horrible defense and special teams? Not the bad play calling? Not the insanely stupid clock management at the end of the game? The O-line pass blocking was the least of the problems today.
Yes, really. The OL is pathetic. The defense was fine when Rodgers kept them off the field. Special teams play is the result of 16 players on IR and another four standing on the sidelines with injuries.
jt3340 - you must watch a different game. I saw the offense score 31 points and lose because the defense gave up 38. Special teams and defense have stunk for 3 years. Enough with the excuses.
The defense really only gave up 31 points, since there was a pick six. And it's hard to count that last TD against them, considering the fact that it was Flynn's turnover that put them in that position where they had to allow a walk-in TD to have any shot at all.
Matt Flynn made a lot of mistakes. Those corner fades also need to stop and that one is on MM.
big dave yes special teams have been bad forever-the gm has drafted crap on defense
Who besides Perry and Lang had money on the Steelers?Hide replies
Raji, Slocum, Newhouse-all big bucks. Quarless, Brad Jones, the restof the OLine, just not as much $$, although that facemask grab by Sitton was a real gem.
Incompetent football players. End.of.Story. Could not make that up.Hide replies
the gm brought them all in
not even close the refs went out of there way to keep the pack in this.Hide replies
you can certainly make that argument War
They sure did. And keep in mind, that was an average team that beat us out there today.
tomlin is an idiot as well
What went wrong??? The "organization" being too cautious and believing it's s$!t doesn't stink.Hide replies
Like you would know ... go flip a burger.
too many pack fans sleeping or drinking and not truly analyzing how tt has destroyed a team
10 seconds left & no timeouts & MM calls a running play. Nice. Even Mike Sherman wasn't that stupid.Hide replies
Ah, that's not what happened.
The packers actually won this game. It's to cold for pittsburgh and the ref's are against the packers. The packers are now 20-0
why should we care about this year, the "organization" doesn't...AR wins this game easily, but we can't risk the fact that he may not be able to work out for a few months in the OFF season...patheticHide replies
Buy more stocks.
Rodgers sees the light and demands/gets a trade to Dallas.
The offense wasn't perfect but it didn't lose the game. The defense is responsible.
Agreed, the defense stunk as usual and MM, TT, and the rest are in year III of ongoing decay of it.
Probably not the best call to run on 2nd down and goal at the end. Starks didn't make it, which meant they probably could have spiked it with 5 seconds left to have one shot left on 4th down.
Also, I think the refs botched the runoff. It looked like the false start happened at 24 seconds, but they did the runoff from when Starks had been tackled.
MM has got to call for Flynn to spike the ball when the get to the 1 yd line and then bring in Raji and Daniels and pound it in.
In spite of really bad defense and horrible special teams the Pack were still in it. How does MM and Flynn not spike the ball on second down at the end of the game? They would have had 9 seconds left. Time to run two more plays. Flynn looked like he had no idea the clock was started. Today he was BAD. If Pitt took away his first option he panicked. Jordy was wide open on last play of game. Flynn pre-determined the throw prior to the snap. Rodgers plays Packers win even with the other two phases of the team stinking up the joint. How does Slocum keep his job? What about Capers and the defensive staff? They've been bad in both areas for years now. Time to grow a set Ted and make some changes.Hide replies
"Some" changes? Fire McFatty, Capers and Slocum tonight. Send Flynn packing tomorrow, Rodgers run the offense, Greene runs the defense next week. Elmer Fudd runs special teams. Tolzien QB backed up by Sitton. Let Eddie recuperate from the senseless abuse put on him by McFatty.
Yeah, Flynn was not at his best today.
By the way, firing your D-Coordinator during the middle of the season is something you would see in Washington or Dallas. Not smart.
So its preferable to accept the suck you know rather than the suck you might get should you do that Bear? I see.
how can you call a defense when there are no players
