LX5 and Adobe 1998 RGB
AlphaOmega wrote:
I owned both the LX2 and LX3. Traded in for LX5. It sticks in my mind that the menu allowed for conversion from sRGB to Adobe 1998 RGB. Have been trying frantically to find if this can be done on the LX5 and been through the whole of the full PDF l manual to no avail.
I'm not sure in the case of the LX2, but my LX3 does not have this feature. Panasonic M43 cameras (at least the GH2) do, though. Many dSLRs also include this selectable feature.
Please can somebody "in the know" please either confirm that LX5 is fixed at sRGB or explain how the conversion to Adobe RGB can be carried out.
There is no mention of it in the LX5 Operating Instructions - and I have not seen any poster on this forum refer to such a feature.
Note that RAW processors will use their own chosen working color-space that they use in internal processing. The same is true (in general) where it comes to image-editors that process TIF and JPG image-files.
Adobe applications (of course) can use aRGB as their working color-space.
Note that the selecting of the color-space in a RAW image-file is only a informational "tag" in the meta-data that the processor/editor may or may not pay attention to. The user is typically free to choose what the output color-space of the processed/edited image will be.
In the case of an encoded in-camera OOC JPG, the image-data exists in the YCbCr color-space in the form of a Discrete Cosine Transform, and is only mapped into another color-space when that JPG image-file is decoded by an image-processor, image-editor, or image-viewer.
See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JPEG#Color_space_transformation
Thus, if your intended goal is to make OOC JPGs more compatible with Adobe applications (by having a selection to indicate aRGB rather than sRGB in the meta-data of that JPG image-file), there is no need to do that (as Adobe applications will use aRGB, or perhaps other color-spaces) when they process that image.
In cases where that OOC JPG is simply read (as is) by an image-viewer of some kind, one would want the color-space to be sRGB - as it may not be the case that the particular viewer/browser, etc. will know what to do with a designated aRGB color-space (and may well in that case simply ignore that information, anyway). So, it's really not a problem that the LX5 does not feature that.

As per a new report by Transparency Market Research (TMR), the global market for baking ingredients is highly influence by the
ever-changing food habits of consumers around the world. The research study, titled "Baking Ingredients Market - Global
Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast, 2013–2019," offers an unbiased assessment of this market on the
basis of the key trends, opportunities, and growth prospects. The growing consumption of baked food is fueling the demand for
baking ingredients significantly across the world, notes the study.

On the flip side, the implementation of strict regulations, internationally, regarding the quality standard of baking ingredient
products, is likely to reflect negatively on the sale of these ingredients in the years to come. The ambiguity over trans-fatty
acids content and its effect on health conditions is also expected to hamper the usage of baking ingredients, globally, over the
next few years. However, the growing influence of the western culture, where baked food, such as bread and cakes, is an
important part of consumers' daily diet, on developing economies in Asia Pacific and the Rest of the World is projected to offer
growth opportunities to market players in the near future,...


text: Well I got 12 lbs of bellies from my butcher. I removed the skin and rubbed them using Bearcarver"s recipe (1/2 oz of TQ/lb of meat and 1 tbs brown sugar/lb). In to some vacum sealed bags. These stayed like this for nine days while I was on the road working. Jo (the wife) flipped and rubbed the bellies once a day for me (lucky meat) Once I got home I took them out of the vac packing and into a sink of ice cold water. Here they sat for an hour. Did a quick little salt taste. Just look at the color and that's before smoking. Perfect salt content!! Quick pic of my smokehouse Here we are after a couple hours (you can see my little sampler on the top bar LOL). You can just make out the TBS In this next pic you can see the hot plate I used as my heat source. I kept my chip pan (aka cast iron frying pan) just above the element and this held my temps around 98-101 for the entire smoke. I used a mix of hickory and maple and smoke these for around 12 hrs. One pan of chips smokes for about 6 hrs. Once smoking finished they had taken on a wonderful color. The bottom one was coated in CBP Sliced up And a pile of bacon And of course need to fry some up and eat it sorry no finished pics but it was a battle for every piece this stuff turned out soooo good I don't think I will every eat store bought bacon again. I would like to give a big thanks to Bearcarver for posting his recipe for us all to use. Next up I just bought a 11 lb loin so Canadian Bacon is on the list gonna rub it in cure vac pac and off to camp I go for 9 days (gotta love the way my schedule is almost designed to make bacon) thanks for checking out my bacon.

Who doesn't love Ruth's Chris Steakhouse? They may serve delicious steak but their side dishes are to-die-for!We had dinner there a few months ago for Uncle Pat's birthday. Whenever we go, two orders of au gratin potatoes will most certainly be ordered. This is NOT optional.
We decided, however, to really branch out and try something else on the menu this time.
We decided, however, to really branch out and try something else on the menu this time.
I'm generally not a huge sweet potato fan on Thanksgiving, but my mom convinced me to share an order with her and try them out. Ruth's Chris sweet potatoes are more like a dessert than a side dish – which clearly means that I am a fan! The perfect amount of sweetness in every bowl. 🙂
Ruth's Chris Sweet Potato Casserole
- Crust:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup of flour
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup butter (melted)
- Sweet Potato Mixture:
- 3 cups mashed sweet potatoes (you can use can to save time, drain)
- 1 cup of sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 eggs (well beaten)
- 1/2 cup of butter (melted)
- Combine brown sugar, nuts and butter in a mixing bowl. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees
- Combine sweet potato, salt, sugar, vanilla, eggs and butter in the order listed. Mix thoroughly.
- Pour mixture into buttered baking dish.
- Sprinkle the surface of the sweet potato mixture evenly with the crust mixture.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Allow to set for about 30 minutes before serving.
I'm definitely making this for Thanksgiving this year:)Happy Birthday Uncle Pat!!

Waynesville Christian School
Angie Farley - Administrator Waynesville Christian School
513-897-0418 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
Waynesville Christian School and Home Grown Kids is a non-profit organization designed to prepare preschool children for kindergarten by offering a private, 2 day, 3 day pre-k, and 5 day pre-k program. Preschool hours are from 9:00-12:00. WCS also offers a 3 full day kindergarten program M-W-F from 9:00-3:30. We offer a safe, healthy environment for school age children to come before and after school. We are doing our best to keep costs low so that parents can afford private school tuition and child care, and be confident that their children are being instructed, nurtured and guided towards Christian values.
***Enrollment for the 2017-2018 school year begins on March 1, 2016. To enroll, you must fill out an enrollment form along with a $100.00 non-refundable enrollment fee and book fee. The 2 day, 3 day, and 5 day preschool classes are now full, but you may want to have your child placed on our waiting list in case a spot becomes available or if afternoon classes are added. We will offer a 3 full day kindergarten class on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays beginning in the fall of 2017.***
We offer outdoor play, gym time, snack, planned activities, games, centers and academic time for the preschool students. Time is set aside each day for school age students wishing to finish homework before going home.
Administrative hours during the school year are 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM Monday-Friday, unless an appointment has been made for a pre-arranged visit. During the school year teachers are available Monday-Friday from 6:30 AM-6:00PM.
More detailed information can be found at www.WaynesvilleChristianSchool.com
Mission Statement
The purpose of Waynesville Christian School is to provide a sound academic education integrated with the Christian view of God and the world based on the authoritative and inerrant Word of God. This educational program is designed for children whose parents are committed to a personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible is specific in stating the principles that underlie Christian education. "For by Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth…and He is before all things, and by Him all things consist" (Colossians 1:16, 17).
"All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made" (John 1:13).
Functioning as an extension of the Christian home, the school supports parents who seek to obey the biblical instruction that gives them
ultimate responsibility for the education of their children (Deuteronomy 6:7, 8). Because the Christian approach to learning differs significantly from the secular approach, the school offers a curriculum rooted in a God-centered philosophy to develop students to be devoted Followers of Christ. This view holds that God's truth is the standard for all truth. The curriculum, taught by a qualified Christian faculty, allows parents to provide their children with academic instruction consistent with the Christ-centered teaching received at home and at church.
Philosophy of Education
The philosophy of Waynesville Christian School is based on a God-centered view that all truth is God's truth, and that the Bible is the inspired and the only infallible, authoritative Word of God that contains this truth. God created all things and sustains all things. Therefore, the universe and humanity are dynamically related to God and have the purpose of glorifying Him. In Romans 3:23 it says, "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Humans are sinners, so they cannot glorify God except by choosing God's free gift of salvation through His Son Jesus Christ. "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man cometh unto the Father, but by me" (John 14:6). One must commit his or her life the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
Our aim socially is to provide a Christian perspective on life and the world from which will come a balanced personality and proper understanding and acceptance of one's role in life, at home, at work, at play, and at worship—all grounded in the Christian concept of love.
This philosophy channels our energies to promoting high academic standards while helping students to achieve skills in creative and critical thinking, using the best integrated curriculum materials available. The objective of our instructional program is to enable students to pursue the post secondary education of their choosing, whether in college, university, or vocational training.
Our responsibility for the student encompasses the spiritual, intellectual, physical, social, and emotional areas. These are inseparable, and through them all runs the thread of the spiritual. Therefore, it must be our aim to shun the tendency to teach the Bible compartmentally or on the intellectual level alone—the spiritual thread must be woven throughout the total curriculum.
It is apparent, then, that the types of activities we integrate or permit in the classroom or school program, be in line with our basic philosophy. The spiritual must permeate all areas—or else we become textbook oriented rather than student centered.
This philosophy dictates that we cooperate closely with parents in every phase of the student's development, always offering assistance in understanding the purposes of the Christian school.

Yesterday I saw the movie Collateral Beauty. It's about this guy, Howard, struggling with the grief from losing a child and his search for meaning while trying to put his life back together. In his search, he writes letters to concepts - Love, Death and Time, the three things that connect us all.
It's a movie that makes you think. Can there be beauty through pain, suffering and loss? Can we really take tragedy and see light within the darkness? Is there such a thing as beauty in ugliness?
I think so. Love is within everything. It's the passion, it's the motivation, it's the inspiration. Love is the creative force in this world and everything is created out of love. Love is the main reason for doing what you do. But love is also in the struggles. Love gives us a reason to keep going each day, a reason to get out of bed.
Living with Crohn's Disease is ugly. I've had 15 sets of gastroscopies, colonoscopies/ileoscopies, proctoscopies, all with biopsies. I've had my colon removed and now have an ostomy. I have a permanent/long-term feeding tube. I've had to live through severe side effects caused by Remicade, then Humira, and then allergies to a list of things longer than I am tall. I've had some pretty painful procedures like rectal ultrasounds, skin shavings and skin biopsies. I've had a few nights where I wasn't sure if I'd wake up to a tomorrow, such as when I had my hypertensive crisis episode and collapsed at the Train concert. Or when I had pneumonia and aspirated into my lungs. It's ugly. Yet, there is still love to be found in all of this suffering. Love is what lifts me up to keep me going each day. Love are the complete strangers that reach out with little notes of encouragement. Love are the little rays of light in otherwise very long, dark days.
Time gives us a chance to use our love, to transform the ugly into beauty. Time is the hope for tomorrows, the hope for a better future. Time is an opportunity. No one knows what tomorrow brings, the only time that we have is now. Time and Love give us the opportunity to create a lasting impression on the world. We have this moment to make a difference, we can make this moment matter. I'm very aware that our time here is short, and can be much shorter than any of us could have dreamt of. I want to leave something beautiful behind when I die. I want my life to have meant something. I want to be remembered as the kid who did something positive to make this world a better place.
Death. We fear it. We want to run and hide from it. But death isn't necessarily to be feared. To me, I think of death as the beginning, the point where your old life is going to meet a new life, just possibly in a new form. And that's exciting since it means that there never really is a final "goodbye", that we're connected together even after death. It's the beautiful side of death that is often overshadowed by the grief death creates. Even out of the pain of death, beauty still exists. Proof of this can be found in any of the deceased transplant donors, or in the charities that are created after the death of a loved one.
Everything comes down to acceptance, which also comes over time and with love. You accept that things change. You accept the reality of your situation for what it is. You accept your personal limitations. You accept your life for what it is - a journey filled with possibilities but not without challenges as well. Acceptance is necessary to truly live, if you don't accept the positives and the negatives in your life, you spend so much more energy fighting back against them rather than spending your energy moving forward. I accept that I have multiple illnesses that I will live with for the rest of my life. That doesn't mean that I am happy to have Crohn's Disease or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome but I have to accept that these will be in my life as part of my path to happiness.
So the next time you're faced with a crisis, stop, breathe, and try to look for the beauty, look for your opportunity to turn the ugly into something beautiful. Make today matter.
My journey living with Crohn's Disease and an Ostomy. I am raising money for The Hospital for Sick Children to update the outpatient treatment rooms so that children can have a comforting and uplifting environment that promotes healing. #JacobsHealingRooms

This one is simple. If, during the early stages of the game, I talk to a character on my own free will and get rewarded with something worthwhile, I'm much more likely to talk to other characters looking for more handouts. A steady stream of dialogue rewards enforces this likelihood throughout the entire game.
If you've spent a good deal of time on your writing and truly believe your characters are saying things that your player would enjoy hearing (because you're funny), this is a good way to motivate a generation of jaded gamers into giving your dialogue a chance. Since the reward is instant, players are already happy. And at that moment you have their attention, so if you're going to sell your dialogue this is the time.

Thanks so much to Nicky Scott for the interview!
++ 20 recorded songs but no releases. How did you end up recording so many songs and not putting them out on a record?
i suppose we were developing our sound and never thought about putting them out as singles or a cd.
++ How many demos were released? Do you remember the tracklist of them?
We released 3 demo's with hand felt-tipped covers and envelopes, which was a great job !
Demo 1
1) Randall and Hopkirk (deceased)
2) Three White Leopards
3) Cattleline
4) Hide the Clock
Demo 2
1) Cloak and Dagger
2) The Magic Faraway Tree
3) Amateur Dramatics
4) The Wishing Chair
Demo 3
1) Climb
2) Painted They Stare
3) Claiming Islands
4) Soap Sculptures.
++ How did The Wishing Chair came together? Was the Carlisle music scene small? Did the name The Wishing Chair come from Enid Blyton's books?
We had all been friends for a long time, and had been in a band six years previously together called 'Long Street'. Stephen and I were school friends and had been in a band together at school called 'Jamswamp' after school we worked together delivering beds and furniture and had a love of music and Carlisle United, we met Liz when we were thirteen through a friend and great inspiration at the time called Steve Harkins who was singer/songwriter.simon was alot younger than us but fit in really well, and we knew him from various bands around town. At the time there was a very healthy mix of bands, who were all very supportive of each other, The Twiggs, who were my favourites, Cosmic Cat, the E-Springs, The Cat in the Hat, The Mighty Helmets, April Sunshine, Red Mullet, 10 Gladioli. The name certainly did come from Enid Blyton, A world of make believe, but with both dark and light story lines The sense of escape, adventure and realising true and full potential are laced throughout each song and each song was like a short story with characters entering, telling their tale then disappearing off…to I know not where
++ Speaking about children books, which are your favourite 5?
– Lion the witch and the wardrobe (there's a theme here isn't there, of magical lands)
– Lord of the rings (as a series of books)
– The Wishing Chair (of course)
– The magic faraway tree
– The Shoot football annual of 1975 (as Carlisle United were featured in it as they were in the top big las league then)
++ What were your first dreams and intentions with the band? Did you have any particular style or band you wanted to sound like or was it mainly about getting together and having a good time while playing?
Getting together, having a good time and blending everything we'd ever heard into our own sound was how we sailed all the songs were drawn from emotion and real life and fantasy
The dream was to stay dreaming…
++ Seems like you and the others were in a couple of other bands on the side, was it hard to find time for Wishing Chair? Which were these bands you were involved with? Were being in bands and play music a common hobby in Carlisle?
Stephen and I both played in different duos playing the working mens club/pub/bingo hall circuit which provided us with a living. Stephen was in partnership with guitarist Ian 'mert' from the Daisychain Connection in a duo called 'Waiting for the Postman' and I was in 'the men upstairs' with Paul Musgrave who was the singer in 'Celtic Storm', so if we were playing at night, we would rehearse in the afternoons, the duos were our bread and butter so we needed to do it, and we played 3/7 nights a week, I enjoyed it but I think stephen would say different. I suppose being on the circuit you come across many musicians across the ages from your area, so everybody did seem to be a musician, but its like that in every town im sure
++ Being from Cumbria, so close to Scotland, who were more influential for you at the time, Scottish bands or English bands? I guess also Scottish bands toured more around your town, right?
I love it that Carlisle used to be in Scotland (even though I love being English) I feel it breaksdown the crazy nationalistic sillyness that sadly has ebbed and flowed throughout history. We're a City firmly influenced by both, aswell as Italians (who came to build a great big wall) and Danish who came and knocked down loads of walls, then settled down to stay I love how when you peep under the covers of nationality you see that it is indeed a great big collage of identity.
As a band we were influenced by both English & Scottish bands soaking up everyting we came across (like a big pop sponge).
Touring wise we got a good mix back in the 1970's & 80's sadly the bands used to play in our Market Hall, which had a glass ceiling so in the summer it was like watching a gig in a green house
++ Last summer Paul Vickers wrote a piece about you saying that "the music they played was quite skiffley, but with Johnny Marr-style guitar. It had a Hans Christian Andersen quality to it as well – lots of childlike imagery". That's a nice comment to receive! What about the Hans Christian Andersen reference, you think it was based on the music itself or simply the rather imaginative song titles (mainly thinking about 3 White Leopards which indeed could've been a child play by Andersen, and of course The Wishing Chair)?
Paul's description is absolutely ace we couldn't have put it better ourselves We were always facinated by the different levels of things like Hans Christian Anderson they were adult stories told in a child like way with all the hope, fear and excitement that childhood holds and with no limitation to imagination and possibility. 3 White Leopards is a pastiche of TS Eliot poems i've always been fascinated by 'metaphysics' (on a very basic level, not the deep deep really complicated levels that talks about maths and stuff, but on the level of it being 'the theory of being and knowing') this was a theme throughout all the Wishing Chair songs.
++ How often did you practice together and how did the usual rehearsal look like? Did you meet for other things other than playing, like mini golf or maybe paint ball?
We used to rehearse as much as we could, I would think at the beginning it was everyday, and that continued, we loved sculpting the songs, Simon our drummer was brought in once a week , so it was me, Stephen and Liz practicing round the fireside most nights, and in our spare time we all enjoyed origami and shark fishing together.
++ You recorded the song Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased), was it your favourite TV Show and why? Which other TV shows did you enjoy back then?
Randall & Hopkirk was such a great concept two detectives and one of them a ghost who could walk through walls and basically be wherever he wanted without being spotted.
Fave TV show was Mr Benn the very thought of having a mate (in a fez) who can offer you different costumes and doorways to felt tip coloured worlds completely blew up my tiny brains as a child and still sets off quite a few explosions now.
++ Its interesting that you never released any records but managed to shoot some live videos. Were you a live band more than a studio one? Any particular gigs that you remember the most?
We did a bit of everything. we used to enjoy playing acoustic in the bar of our local arts theatre before and in the intervals of productions,because it was like our fireside rehearsals,very intimate, i don't think we ever had a bad gig,it was all a big adventure.
++ What was the biggest highlight of The Wishing Chair as a band?
Being in a band together
++ Why and when did you call it a day? What did The Wishing Chair members did after?
I don't think we ever split up ! we've all done loads of different things since then, Stephen is a professor of pop and spreads the word in many directions, Liz is postmaster general and runs base camp, Simon toured the world playing in big bands on cruiseships and I live in Thailand and have a live music venue
++ You now have your own band November222 and you included The Wishing Chairs song 'Wishing Chair' on your first live show (which you do superbly)! Have you ever covered other Wishing Chair's songs?
hey thanks, we did a version of 'digging in the shade' i didn't play the original recording to the Thai lads in the band, so it was a very different version,and i was singing it, i have some live video, so it maybe will be on youtube on eday . and most nights i do an acoustic set in the bar and one or two songs sometimes make the set.
++ Thanks so much! Anything else you'd like to add?
Thanks for taking a trip in The Wishing Chair, Off we go, we know not where ………

Schools got an early boost this year to outfit needy students with school supplies, but once all the donated pencils and bookbags wear thin, teachers and principals will have to look elsewhere to make sure students have tools to last all year.
Dozens of community agencies and volunteers came out in force this year, fearing the state's rising unemployment rate - at more than 10 percent - and millions in cuts to school funding would mean students would return to school unprepared.
"This year, (parents) started calling us more, and some of these were people you would not expect would need help, but that's just how it is now," said Barrow County schools spokeswoman Lisa Leighton. "We do this every year, and there's never not been a need. As long as you've got kids on free and reduced lunch, you're going to have kids that need basic supplies that are not going to get them at home."
In July, administrators put out a box in the entryway of the school district's main office to collect school supplies for parents through registration for the first day of school.
That simple request led to parents, grocery stores - even a local chiropractor who gave discounted treatment in exchange for supplies - to come by to fill the box with crayons, pencils and notebook paper, Leighton said.
Although small, donations for school supplies help, said Howard Stroud Elementary School Principal Toni Pickett.
"I'm certain in these economic times that it will support families and be one less thing for our parents to have to worry about," Pickett said.
Schools administrators in Clarke County and other systems try to keep a stockpile of supplies in case a child arrives without what he needs, Hilsman Middle School Principal Tony Price said.
"Any student that has a problem with supplies, we can help them," Price said. "We have numerous people that can help our kids, and we know which ones need help if in fact they do."
Leading up to the start of the school year, Clarke County School District received a mountain of school supplies from University of Georgia freshmen and Saturday, the local chapter of the Rainbow Push Coalition handed out more than 700 new backpacks at Howard Stroud Elementary's community blockparty.
Donations from local businesses or food pantries help schools stock up on supplies before school starts, but mid-year donations tend to drop off leaving teachers and cash-strapped schools to foot the bill.
Many people think about donating school supplies now, but students need them all year long, said Geraldine Clarke, resident support director for the Athens Housing Authority.
"Everybody puts forth a lot of effort in the beginning, but you've got to understand the children are in need of stuff all year and the teachers need stuff, too," Clarke said. "It's just a small thing, but it means so much for kids to have what they need in order to be successful and times are really tough. It really is. Everyone needs to chip in and help; people just need to do that, and know that it's going to our children, and it's going to help our families."
While Clarke County for years has had lots of students that need help with supplies - nearly 70 percent of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch - the demand for help is growing in surrounding counties.
In nearby Barrow County, the number of students who qualify for the federal meal program is at 53 percent, up from 44 percent just three years ago. New students are still coming through the central office to register and the number that qualify for free lunches could grow even higher, Leighton said.
"The dust is settling right now, but we know they'll be another influx of kids the next time we have a break or a week off for a holiday," Leighton said. "You just see a lot of transition these days, because a lot of people are in transition."

I am trying to plan a road trip for 7-10 days in mid August from Boston with DH and two kids 5 and 1 year old. From reading the forum I am planning to go to Montreal first for 4 days as I understand it has more places to visit than Quebec city. I read that QC is smaller and more relaxed so think that it might be better to visit it when we are little exhausted from our M visit with two active kids. I am looking for recommendations for the following in each city:
1. Hotels with kitchenettes and parking
2. Kid friendly restaurants
3. Places to visit
4. Good shopping area (I want to squeeze that in)
5. Are 4 full days in M and 3 full days in QC sufficient to cover the major sight seeing places
6. Any other suggestions for traveling to Canada (our first time) with young kids are greatly welcome.
Many thanks.

Hi SMTC,
#1, #2, #6. I'll let others chime in for these two who have kids.
#3. MONTREAL. With kids, you might enjoy going to the Botanical Gardens and more specifically the Insectarium.
The Biosphere on Ile Sainte-Helene I think is terrific for kids as well, a museum with interactive activities that manage to simultaneously educate all about the environment.
There's something called SOS Labyrinthe as well at the Old Port, a maze where one has to piece clues together. Adults should be limber who participate (I'm in pretty good shape but found it challenging at one point sliding into a barrel to get to a different zone of the maze when my nephews came to visit.
#4. Downtown Montreal (most options and "familiar name" clothing stores), Saint-Denis Street (bit more boutiquey/pricey, more local designers), Mont-Royal Avenue (some good deals/ funky).
#5. That's a good visit to Montreal and Quebec City; you might not "see it all", but that's ok. A reason to return .
Best wishes, Daniel

A recent thread with some ideas about suite hotels
I think 4 days/Montreal, 3 days/quebec makes sense. You could easily spend longer in either city
In Montreal your kids would probably like the Biodome (different habitats, with animals) as well as the Biosphere mentioned by Daniel. There is also an amusement park, La Ronde but that might not be geared to the right age range.
If your 5 year old is interested in military history Quebec has lots of that (Citadel, Plains of Abraham)
There is a ferry ride from the port in Quebec City with good views. Both cities have different cruise options.
I will try to think more about restaurant options with kids. I have to admit when our kids were young we often got take out and brought it back to the hotel. There are restaurants in Montreal Chinatown with buffets which would be easy. Chinatown was always fun for our kids but maybe not so interesting to your kids if they are from Boston. Le Commensal in Montreal in several locations and I believe also in Quebec has good vegetarian buffets.

Thanks Daniel and Vttraveler. I am still researching to build my itinerary, this information is helpful. I am looking forward to more suggestions on my questions.

Call ahead or visit their website to be sure the Insectarium will be open. Right now the site notes they are closed but are reopening "Summer 2011" with no date specified. They were closed the last few days of May when I was in Montreal.

Here are a few more ideas for Montreal:
Kid friendly restaurants - There are many sidewalk eateries in both Old Montreal and on Prince Arthur street. There is often street entertainment going close by. Many of the restaurants on Prince Arthur are byob. Another good place with kids is Le Commensal, which is a small chain of veggie cafeterias. Don't let the veggie connotation scare you away - the food is VERY kid friendly (pizza, pasta, Mexican, yummy desserts), and the dining area is comfortable and spacious. There is a large Le Commensal downtown on St. Catherine, and another on St. Denis near Sherbrooke.
Montreal is blessed with two big beautiful parks in the heart of downtown - Mt. Royal and Parc La Fontaine. Great places to picnic and let the kids run free.
The Old Port has a long, wide pedestrian prominade where you can rent family sized pedal carts to explore the waterfront. There are lots of other family activities on the waterfront, like boat rides, the Labrynth, etc.
In Quebec City there is also a Le Commensal. There is also another place called Maison du Spaghetti which offers every kind of pasta imaginable. Not high end, but kids love it.
There is a zoo just outside Quebec City.
Of course there is the very large Animal Park and amusement park in Granby.

Winberie's Restaurant & Bar Ratings and Reviews
This is one of our favorite Oak Park restaurants. ALWAYS a good meal, and always great service.
Back when they offered delivery through GrubHub, my wife and I ordered 5 or 6 times from Winberies every month. Since that stopped, we only drive the couple miles down there maybe once a month...and Winberries never fails to deliver an excellent meal and wonderful experience.
We always get consistently good food and service here. It's comfortable seating, quiet, and food and drinks are a good value. The only advice I share is to keep the sitting area updated and clean. Our table rocked back and forth and the ambiance is starting to look a little tired.
Have never been disappointed with Winberie's so consequently it has become a "go to" in the Oak Park area. The service on our last visit was excellent; the server very attentive and pleasant. The food, as always, was tasty, served promptly so still hot, and cost very reasonable.
The menu is varied, mostly American. Go for the classic meatloaf. This is not your mother's loaf. Ground Angus beef and pork cooked in red wine with sautéed mushrooms and onions, served with whipped potato's and sautéed vegetables. The wait staff was very attentive. We were there with a friend and wanted to talk. The noise level made that possible and we were not rushed when we finished.
Everything was great except the new chicken pot pie. It was served luke warm and had way too many potatoes in it. Our drinks were exceptionally tasty. The spicy mac 'n cheese hit the spot as did the fried shrimp and chicken sandwich. After ordering pie, our waitress returned to tell us there was no pie left. Our creme broulee alternative was tasty.
Went to Winberies for a nice dinner with family and was not disappointed. The service started a bit slow, but picked up nicely once things got going. The food was delicious according to every one in the group, (there were 6 of us). Would recommend for a nice meal with friends or family or a date.
We arrived a few minutes before our reserved time, and were seated promptly at a table with a street view. The server was attentive, and the food was excellent, with a very attractive presentation. We had dined there once before while visiting Oak Park, and would definitely do so again.
The only negative (and a minor one)...the restaurant mistakenly notified Open Table that we had not shown up for the reservation. The situation was quickly rectified with an email.
i had been here many times before but this evening was just.ok... the service was off as the staff seemed to be quite busy with the many empty tables.. there was lag time between ordering and receiving bread , but then eveything arrived with little time between salad and main entree... the food runners did not know what rhey were serving or who received rhe dish... and the waitress was not there ... she did not offer us coffee or desert, as we asked to see menu... the whole sunner seemed as if we were an after thought. perhaps because we were not ordering alcohol and our bill would be less than... while I will try afain as it is a neighbourhood place , i will try others first....
I have been dinning here for years, and this time it was friend from Indianapolis visiting who ate here with me 3 years ago and wanted to eat here again for his birthday. First question he asked our server about the food, she hadn't tried the park chop. I finally ordered the grapefruit cocktail, only to have her come back & say they were out. My friend then asked for a cosmo, she forgot to order it, took about 15 mins to get it. One friend wanted beer, asked if you had served any type of stout /dark beer, she said, Heineken &blue moon. She didn't mention the chimay beer. We finally ordered, birthday boy ordered the pork chop, after the order was turned in she came back to say you didn't have it. We got finished eating, she asked if separate or one check. Never asked about desert, but we wanted it, finally we asked if we can order dessert. She was a very nice girl, she admitted she'd only been working a week, but still she should know the menu better, as we asked her what the meals came with, "hmm, a veggie I think, as she grabbed the menu to check. Of all the times I've eaten here, this was the first time to get such poor service:(
Winberie's is a solid 'go to' place for us. It's close and the service is good. The food is usually very good but this time, almost everything was overly salty. The tomato basil soup was delicious but nearly inedible due to it's saltiness. They have great super thin crispy fries. But, I had to shake the excess salt off of them as I ate them. We mentioned it to our waitress who said she would tell the chef. Their mine has something for everyone and our vegetarian loves their veggie burger.
Dorthy the hostess helped me with a big birthday surprise for my brother, a Cherry Dr. Pepper cake. She helped me get our table all set up, then lead him to the table next to it with a plant hiding the cake. My brother was so surprised! Marisa our server was great and suggested the cold seasonal cucumber soup which was outstanding! Everything was perfect!
We usually love the restaurant and have been there many times. But on this day (Mother's Day early dinner) the restaurant was busy so the service was slow, our orders were incomplete, and it was a generally unsatisfying experience. It's understandable, I guess. But, just like everyone else, we were there for a special meal....and what we received was very average, even sloppy. We will try them again some time.
We've been here many times throughout the years. They were host to my parent's 55th Anniversary, and most recently, Mother's Day. The food is always fresh and healthy. The atmosphere is low-key, business elegant, and suitable for all but a beer bust. My mother's 90, my daughter's 12. Both left happy.
We were visiting Chicago from Toronto and was recommended by the Frank Lloyd Wright Foundation to have lunch at Winberies. There were 11 people in our party and the restaurant was very accommodating. Our server, Calvin, was amazing and attentive. The food was very good, fair portions and well priced. I would recommend this restaurant.
The food was very good. The service was horrific. 20 minutes for the waiter to get to the table, early during lunch when not crowded. Waiter took a long time to bring drinks; made mistakes. Food took so long one person had to take it to go. Complained and received no apology or suggested restitution.
Eating dinner at Winberie's recently was one of the worst dining experiences I have had in a long time. There's zero ambiance. It was noisy (mostly babies crying and kids running around screaming...and this was on a week night). They screwed up my order (gave me everything I specifically asked NOT to have in my dish, due to food sensitivities). Then our server apologized for screwing up my order (which brought my wait time to eat to about a half hour), but gave us NOTHING off on our bill as consolation. Sigh... And last but not least, my food was hardly worth the wait (bland as all get out). To be fair, my husband did enjoy his meal.
Eat elsewhere, if you'd like a quiet, flavorful dining experience that won't be screwed up.
Wiberie's is a very pleasant, neighborhood, family-friendly place. A member of a small chain (the other shops are in Summit & Princeton, NJ; go figure), this is about much-much-better than fast food casual family dining. Service is absolutely fine. The food is NOT chain stuff; nobody is reheating stuff from the freezer. Freshly cooked, not trying for James Bard Awards, just serving family-friendly fare and executing it well.
Arrived early for a 4 pm reservation. Not many tables were full. Instead of asking whether we preferred a table or booth, they escorted us to a table smack dab in the middle of the room... which I dislike. So I kindly asked for a booth. There were plenty of big booths available but instead we were given a small one which, with four people and various appetizers on the table, became crowded and uncomfortable. Waitress was ok... nothing specific, just didn't particularly connect, which is no big deal, we were satisfied with the service. Salmon salad was excellent. Chicken Marsala was delicious, hamburger was also. So everyone was happy with their choices. Desserts were ok. We like eating in Oak Park so we'll probably return.
Been going here for years. Lately, food value has dropped. $22 for a small piece of salmon and one skimpy side. I was still hungry. Family was celebrating a birthday. Server asked the "Birthday Girl" if she would like "the dessert with a candle". No choice was offered and no price was stated. We were asked it we wanted dessert menus for the others at the table. We assumed the birthday portion was a restaurant freebie. The Nestle Toll House Pie arrived, it was half the size of the regular portion on the menu but we were charged for it! Time constraints did not allow for us to dispute the item then, but we were not happy.

The Must-Attend
Open Infrastructure Event
The world runs on open infrastructure. At the OpenStack Summit, you'll learn about the mix of open technologies building the modern infrastructure stack, including OpenStack, Kubernetes, Kata Containers, Docker, Ansible, Ceph, OVS, OpenContrail, OPNFV, and more. Whether you are pursuing a private, public or multi-cloud approach, the OpenStack Summit is the place to network, skill up and plan your cloud strategy.
The Must-Attend
Open Infrastructure Event
Join the movement behind the most widely deployed open source cloud platform. Whether you are pursuing a private, hybrid or multi-cloud approach, the OpenStack Summit is the place to network, skill up and plan your cloud strategy.
Event Details
The United States Army Cyber School (USACYS) is charged with training and educating Soldiers to defend the interests of the United States and our allies at home and abroad via means grounded in computer science, electrical engineering, robotics, physics, and mathematics. Over the past 18 months, USACYS has used OpenStack to execute this critical mission for force readiness.
This presentation will focus on our journey from 3 borrowed servers connected to users via CAT6 cables running through a drop ceiling to a 2000-core cluster backed by a 4PB Ceph array that is 100% code-driven. We will also discuss our CI pipeline that integrates our Blackboard LMS, Heat, and our asciidoc-based curriculum-as-code repository into a student experience that is always up-to-date, relevant, and technically accurate while investing minimum man-hours for content curation. This DevOps-oriented approach, underpinned by OpenStack, allows our instructors to focus on teaching students and creating new content, not creating slide presentations and formatting word processor documents. This approach has yielded high benefits in courseware quality and student outcomes while saving millions of dollars in platform TCO expenses. The OpenStack solution has put USACYS years ahead of similar government education programs and on track to continue to embrace innovation and change for the benefit of national defense.

Hej alla,
How are you this fine day? So I told myself that this year I was going to work on actually updating my blog regularly... What I am hoping to accomplish is posting an update weekly or bi-weekly. But for those of you who know me, in other words, this means I'll post an update maybe once or twice a month. Hey, what can I say? I'm a busy girl! At least it beats my one update every two months that I'm currently doing.
Today marks the third day without our oldie. For those of you who may not understand what I mean by the term oldie... Throughout our Exchange, we meet many people, some who have arrived Before us and others who arrive half-way through. Generally students who come from New Zealand or Australia, start their Exchange in January and continue onto the following January. Wheras, the remainder of the countries usually come in August and stay until the following July. This is because of the different school systems/ year layouts for the countries.
For those of us who arrived in August, we have what we call "Oldies", who are the bigger Brothers/sisters of the Group. This means that using the wisdom they learned throughout their first 6 months in the country, they give the rest of us advice and show us the best way to handle situations or help us learn the language. Our oldie was named Lachlan... He was a student from Australia and I must admit, one of the biggest inspirations I have met thus far. He was extremely talented and taught many things about what it's like to be on Exchange/ a Swede. He was almost completely fluent in the language and continued to prove his love by making sure everyone felt welcomed, comfortable, and accepted.
On January 9th, Lachlan unfortunately flew back home with only time for a few Quick hugs. It wasn't until after he left that me and many of the other Exchange students realized the Cold, hard truth. We will never be with him the way we have been, again.
I guess what I'm trying to say is... Exchange can be the most Amazing and Beautiful year of your Life, but it can also be the worst and hardest year as well. All of us ranging from 16-18yrs of age, most who have relied on their parents for every want and need they have ever desired, who have never set foot in Another country... They have taken all their courage and just jumped right into the Deep end. Understanding the risks and differences between going to another country and also the benfits and Beauty of seeing another Culture. Despite all, they have taken on this opportunity and have turned it into something that they will never forget. They come to the new country, all alone, not knowing what to expect, possibly not even knowing the language. And they leave as a grown, changed, matured, independant Young adult. An Exchange year brings the best.. and worst out of people. It shows them their weaknesses... and their strengths... Some leave with a wider range of Life goals and achievements than they could have ever imagined. Some leave with a better understanding and desire for life's challenges and others soon decide to become World travellers.
But above all, everyone leaves with new relationships from all over the World. Friends that they have never met before the year and now, can't imagine their life without them. I've met so many already that have impacted my experience and my view on things in such an Amazing, positive way. It's just like leaving the nest all over again... It takes all the courage you have to come here. And it takes just as much courage to go home.
Exchange can be the best, most Amazing, fun, and rewarding year of your life.
But it can also be the worst and hardest.
I miss you already, Lachlan.

Excellence in the Heart of the Community
Wade Deacon Trust
The main aim of the Technology Department is to develop skills, knowledge and understanding of design ideas in an ever changing technological world.
The Key Stage 3 pupils work on a carousel system in which they study the three areas offered at Hillside which are Food Technology, Graphic Products and Resistant Materials. The projects featured in these areas offer our pupils an insight into the design process and how to plan, design and enjoy making a product successfully.
The curriculum is designed to allow pupils to develop their personal, learning and thinking skills through providing a range of learning activities. In Year 7 pupils develop a good understanding of the key concepts in Technology, which they further develop in Years 8 and 9.
Technology is a popular choice at GCSE and many of our pupils gain excellent grades in their final result. We are proud of their success. Past pupils often come back to school to tell us they were also proud of their work and have still kept models many years later. Courses offered at Hillside at Key Stage 4 are Food Technology, Graphic Products and Resistant Materials.
The department has offered a range of activities including:

A crazy massage therapist and her insightful look at this sometimes humorous profession....and other randomness.

Massage Price and Value
Massage Envy charges $39 for a 1-hour introductory massage session. If the client becomes a "member" their dues are $49 per month and the client receives a 1-hour massage session during that month. The client is also able to purchase unlimited additional 1-hour massage sessions for $39. Their facility is nice, their prices are good and they have great marketing materials. Do I consider them serious competition? They are indeed competition. Serious competition? No. My reasons?
If you do a tiny bit of research online you will find a great deal of bad reviews from former employees of Massage Envy. They pay their massage therapists a mere $15 per hour or $17 if the client is returning and specifically requests a therapist. This might sound like good pay if you have not researched the job market for massage therapy or this is the first job you are offered straight out of massage school. Most companies that offer massage therapy will pay therapists on a split percentage of the fees charged for their services. Typically the therapist gets 50% of the fee. At my clinic I offer my therapists 65% of the fee as they are doing the work and I am just providing the space and materials. Guess who has a better employee retention rate?
Massage Envy also advertises their sessions as 1-hour massages. The truth is that the session is 50-minutes of actual massage time. At my clinic, if the client arrives on time for their massage appointment, the hour starts when the therapist begins massaging--not when we are doing the intake paperwork. Our clients are guaranteed to receive a full 60-minute massage....and sometimes we go over a few minutes if we know a wee bit more massage time will make a big difference in the body. We also allow 30 minutes downtime between clients so the therapists are fresh and ready to give their best work. The therapists at Massage Envy do not have this option so the client may schedule an appointment with a great therapist but not get a great massage due to the therapist being worn out.
So for arguments sake, assume that massage therapists at Massage Envy are just as skilled and talented as every other massage therapist in the community. During a recession, in order to compete with a national chain, will a small clinic need to adjust fees for massage services? Absolutely! Massage Envy markets a tough economy beautifully by saying they make massage affordable for everyone. So my answer to the price difference is twofold. Everyone can appreciate a bargain, but most also think you get what you pay for. If I am shopping for shorts or socks I am perfectly content to shop at Wal-mart. If I am shopping for a cocktail dress I am going to hit the mall or boutique. In the massage world, if I am looking for a simple relaxation massage I am open to seeing a student or a new therapist. If I am looking for specific treatment for my neck or low back, I am going to pay more and see an experienced therapist that knows what they are doing. I tend to think people that get massage fairly regularly feel the same as I do and do not mind paying more if they feel they are getting their money's worth.
The second part of my competing with the chain is that I offer package deals. If a client likes our work and they are interested in re-booking, we suggest our package deal. When a client prepays for 4 massages, we give them a 5th massage for free. This is a 20% savings and if you divide the cost by 5 massages, it makes our 60-minute massage a value-priced $48, or as Massage Envy says "for a fraction of what you can find elsewhere". The package deal keeps our clients coming fairly regularly which makes them feel better and it makes our jobs easier....plus we get paid. It is a win win situation.
Finally, I tell people that there will always be clients that want bargains and those that want premium services. Some will pay $10 for haircuts and others will pay $50. When people find a hairstylist that does their hair just the way they like it, they will return. Massage clients are the same. If you give them a great massage, like the Terminator, they will be back. Meet their needs and they will gladly pay your prices. Don't meet their needs and see how long it takes them to try the discount massage chain. As for me, I will take Massage Price and Value for $60, Alex.

General Category > Beer Recipes
Seeking Rauchbier Recipe
(1/2) > >>
Does anyone have a good Rauchbier recipe that they would like to share?
I've seen so many recipes all over the map as far as grain bills and thought it would be a good opportunity to ask the members of the forum for insight and advice.
Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier Märzen gets really good ratings on beeradvocate...has anyone tried to clone this beer?
Here's my recipe. It's not really a "clone" but it'll get you where you wanting to go and it's about as straight-forward as it gets. ;)
Stephansberg Rauchbier
That is going to make a good Rauchbier, Jeff!
My comment is that is for the Weyermann's Rauch in the condition we get it. Last time I was in Bamberg, and AHA memeber who lives there says that he uses about 60% pils and 40% Weyermanns. The beer is rated equal to Schlenkerla by his local brewing friends, as the Weyermann malt is stronger than the Schlenkerla for smoke intensity.
My point for all of this is that by the time wew get Weyermann's Rauch, it has lost a bunch. The guy in Bamberg buys his Rauchmalz directly from the Weyermanns. Can't get fresher than that!
I plan to make a Rauchbier with malt smoked with beechwood this weekend. Maybe 50-60% of the grist.
Zum Wohl!
Here's my attempt:
BeerSmith Recipe Printout - http://www.beersmith.com
Recipe: Copy of Smokey Stokey v1.0 (5.5gal)
Brewer: Affenhaus Brauerei
Asst Brewer:
Style: Classic Rauchbier
TYPE: All Grain

Turned out very nice, although not as smokey as I would have liked, and not as "powerful" as the original Marzen. I'm going to try it again with a recipe more close to Beertracker's suggestion, nearly 100% smoked grains and just a little Carafa III. Still, I believe hopfenundmalz is right, the grains simply aren't as rich as they are when fresh.
I spent an afternoon and evening tumbling about Bamberg last year - what a wonderful place, and great beer!

--- End quote ---
Jeff, thanks for sharing your recipe! How did yours turn out - did you get it close to the stuff from Bamberg? I noticed the pH at 8.34 and the other details on the water profile - how did you treat your local water to emulate that?
Also, sorry for diverging completely, but is your real last name "Swearengin"? Any relation to old Al from Deadwood? :)

To The Pattern: Victorian Crochet Baby Blanket CCP Pattern
Picking The Right Supplies For the Baby Crochet Patterns
One fun part of making crochet clothes for babies are to chose the color for the yarn. Blue for the boy and pink for the girl are classic choices but today…no color is actually right or wrong. You can just choose the color you like and that you believe fit the little boy or girl! The choice of color might also depend on which item you choose to make.
There are some other things to think about, that might be slightly more important, for example, be sure that you choose a real soft yarn for the baby patterns. You do not want to have a hard, itchy yarn that might feel uncomfortable for the baby. There are yarns labeled as good baby yarns, so you might want to look for that.
Also make sure that the yarn is washable without problems since you will want the sweater or blanket to be useable for than one time. It should be easily machine washable and feel soft and nice even after washing. The baby skin is sensitive so choose wisely.
When it comes to embellishments such as buttons or snaps etc, also be very careful. A small item can be a choking hazard so secure them with care or use other alternatives. One example is to use ribbons instead of buttons on sweaters etc.
When I made my first crochet items and made the mistake to hold the hook and yarn very tight. That made my projects to become hard and stiff, and not so skin friendly. That is not what you want when you make a sweater, blanket or whatever you choose to crochet. That might be good if you make doilies and stuff like that, but not when you crochet a baby item!

Lincoln, Massachusetts is an old town where flooding and water damage could affect many homes and commercial buildings. There are many causes, such as roof leaks, basement flooding from rain or snowmelt or a ruptured water pipe in a bathroom of the home or building. Other causes could be the extreme weather, high water table and outdated drainage systems that many of Lincoln's older homes have which result in flooded basements. Mold is another hazard which could affect water damaged homes. Mold will begin to colonize on surfaces within hours after flooding, so it's important to start the drying process as soon as possible. PowerBees would like to help you recover from water damage, from leaks or flooding in Lincoln, MA. PowerBees technicians use specialized heavy equipment to extract or remove water from your home or office.
Lincoln residential and commercial property water losses may be addressed on the same day or night. Typically, water damage restoration in Lincoln requires multiple visits to extract the water, remove the water damaged materials, install special drying equipment, and prevent mold from colonizing or germinating spores. If you have bathroom flooding, kitchen flooding, bedroom flooding or basement flooding in Lincoln, PowerBees has the special equipment to remove the water. When required, mold removal and bacteria treatments can be part of this service. PowerBees technicians have years of experience in water extraction and Flood Damage control. PowerBees handles both large losses and small losses in Lincoln and, if needed, will work directly with your insurance company.
ICE DAMS IN LINCOLN Because of the recent harsh winters, many residents of Lincoln are familiar with the water damage caused by Ice Dams, but perhaps not the process that creates them. When the heat in a home moves into the attic it heats up the roof and causes the snow on the roof to melt. That water flows down into the eaves, freezes and forms a dam. As the melting and freezing repeat, those ice dams continue to get larger. Eventually the water will make its way under the roof shingles and then down into the attics, walls and ceilings below. When this happens, if it's not taken care of quickly, mold begins to form and might impact the air quality of the home. Water damage from ice dams in Lincoln is usually covered by homeowners insurance.List Item 1
WATER DAMAGE IN LINCOLN BASEMENTS Many homes in Lincoln have a history of flooded basements because parts of Lincoln are very steep and have poor drainage. Heavy rains, snow melt and failing sump pumps can also cause sewer backups and water penetration through basement foundations. This is a common occurrence in Lincoln. Additionally, any home or business in Lincoln could always suffer plumbing leaks that affect their basements. This water damage likely will lead to the growth of mold on basement surfaces and contents. That mold will give off airborne mold spores which may cause health issues for occupants of the home or building. Call PowerBees today if you have a flooded basement in Lincoln. Our technicians will dry out the basement and remove any water damaged materials.List Item 1
WATER DAMAGE IN LINCOLN ATTICS Lincoln homes with HVAC units in the attic can have condensation leaks, causing water damage to the insulation and ceilings below. Roof leaks can also affect many homes in Lincoln, MA. Also, if a dryer vent exhaust is not vented properly out through the roof, the moisture from the dryer could create a large amount of condensation in the ductwork that then leaks into the building. If left untended, that water damage will lead to the colonization of mold. PowerBees will be able to address the attic water damage issues in your home or office in the Lincoln, MA area.List Item 1
Plumbing leaks in Lincoln bathrooms are very often sources of water damage and mold. Toilet overflows, bathtub overflows and other forms of water damage from bathrooms can have disastrous affects on homes and buildings. If there has been water damage in a bathroom, it won't take long for mold to develop within the walls, ceilings and sub-flooring. Call PowerBees to resolve any bathroom water damage problem in Lincoln. PowerBees will deploy trained technicians to address the water damage.
The prevention and removal of mold after water damage is important to avoid developing health issues. Call PowerBees today to resolve your water damage issue in Lincoln.

Koinonia Coffee House
Koinonia Coffee House (136 S. Adams St, Jackson) is in a big yellow house on the edge of downtown Jackson. Inside, it is charming and pleasant, and is exactly the kind of coffee house I always looked for as a student: quiet, well-lit, and with plenty of comfortable places to study. There were two larger rooms with tables, but I preferred a side room that felt like a well-decorated living room and included this cute nook.
I apologize for going to a coffee house and not reviewing the coffee, but I drink my coffee with so much milk that I am no judge of it anyway. Instead I had one of their specialty smoothies, the Bengal — orange cream with chocolate "stripes." It was delicious, and despite having told myself I'd just have a few sips, just to try it (for the blog) I ended up nearly finishing it.
For my lunch I had the Apple Cider Chicken Salad Sandwich ($5.95 half, $7.50 whole), which comes with chips, salad, or veggie sticks. The chicken salad included small chunks of apple, which made it light, crisp, and slightly sweet. I enjoyed the sandwich, and I am always happy when I find good options for a slightly lighter lunch (canceled out by the milkshake in this case, of course).
Koinonia also offers breakfast (including Belgian crepes, which I'd like to try) and some good-looking baked goods. It's open Mon-Thurs 7:30am - 7:30pm, Friday until 6pm; the number is 601-960-3008.

Daily briefs of the top news stories impacting Christians around the world.
In today's edition:
- Obama Embraces 'Christian' Label after Worrisome Polls
- Iraq Builds Walls around Churches to Improve Security
- Vietnam Officials Beat Pastor, Bulldoze Bible School
- Pakistan: Christian Faces Death Threats for Marrying Muslim
Obama Embraces 'Christian' Label after Worrisome Polls
When President Obama lit the National Christmas Tree behind the White House last year, he spoke of a "child born far from home" and said "while this story may be a Christian one, its lesson is universal." According to Religion News Service, the president referenced that same "child born far from home" this year, but added a more personal twist: "It's a story that's dear to Michelle and me as Christians." What changed? For one, three separate polls in the past year have found that one in four Americans think the president is a Muslim, 43 percent don't know what faith he follows, and four in 10 Protestant pastors don't consider Obama a Christian. Stephen Mansfield, author of "The Faith of Barack Obama," said the polls "had to be a wake-up call to the White House," motivating the president to speak more personally and openly about his faith.
Iraq Builds Walls around Churches to Improve Security
After months of alleged inaction, Iraqi officials have authorized building concrete walls up to 10 feet high around churches in Baghdad and Mosul. Catholic News Agency reports that the response follows increased threats to Christian communities as Christmas approaches, and many churches have quieted their celebrations as a result. "The sadness of the people is everywhere. Uncertainty is everywhere. The question on everyone's lips is 'What's next?'" Archbishop Bashar Warda of Erbil told the charity Aid to the Church in Need. "There is a kind of desperation. But whatever happens, the people are determined to celebrate the Christmas liturgy by any means possible." Police with scanning equipment will reportedly guard access points around churches. Warda said the measures are awkward for church goers, but he welcomed the government's efforts to protect the religious minority.
Vietnam Officials Beat Pastor, Bulldoze Bible School
The Christian Post reports that Ho Chi Minh City officials beat a pastor unconscious on Tuesday while the Bible school he leads was demolished. About 500 police, soldiers and fire officials were involved the bulldozing of the Mennonite church. Pastor Nguyen Hong Quang and five church members are now in custody at an undisclosed location for "resisting arrest" six years ago. In 2004, the human rights activist was arrested and charged with "interfering with officials carrying out their duties." At the time, Quang had publically called for police to release several Christians who were imprisoned for distributing Christian literature in Ho Chi Minh City. Release International, an international persecution watchdog, said that the attack on Tuesday "appeared carefully planned and coordinated."
Pakistan: Christian Faces Death Threats for Marrying Muslim
Local Christians and the family of a Christian youth are facing death threats and "dire consequences" after the young man converted and married a Muslim woman. ASSIST News Service reports that Christian homes were attacked and vandalized in two towns in Karachi province, Pakistan, after the news surfaced. The attackers were reportedly searching for Zohaib Rahi despite his conversion. The young man's father, Pervaiz Rahi, confirmed his son's conversion and the couple's elopement. Rahi also said police have done nothing to stop the attacks, and have instead launched a case against the family for allegedly abducting the young woman.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers have been bragging about their wild-style freakitude for decades, but little speaks to the Peppers' belief in their own out-thereness like their current choice in opener: Gnarls Barkley, the eccentric electro-soul duo featuring DJ/producer Danger Mouse and former Goodie Mob frontman Cee-Lo.
No record in 2006 was more unique than Gnarls's St. Elsewhere, on which Cee-Lo sings beautifully about psychosis, suicide, and sex over Danger Mouse's tuneful chopup of hip-hop, funk, and art rock. And few albums were more celebrated: "Crazy," the CD's big single, has earned best-song honors in countless year-end polls, and it has helped convince a record biz in perpetual crisis that the cross-demographic smash isn't extinct. The duo and back-up band play all of their live shows in full costume they've done Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, and Sunset Strip hair metal themes, among many others which provides a neat visual metaphor for Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo's shared taste for musically stylistic dressup. After nearly a year of touring, it'll be interesting to see how deep the inspiration well still runs.

The Chili Peppers have long displayed a fondness for costume as well socks on cocks spring to mind, as do a set of flame-equipped construction-worker helmets. The rich creative stew of last year's double-disc Stadium Arcadium certainly provides the requisite inspiration for any wardrobe jump-off, but it also demonstrates how ably the band can rely upon its less outré knack for tuneful, funk-inflected alt-rock (especially when compared to the oddball brew of Gnarls's St. Elsewhere disc). Perhaps despite their best efforts, the Peppers have become what they once feared: a bunch of pros. Mikael Wood

Thanks for the heads up on this gem Tracko!
First off: read this post.
Who is the Radavist?
A group of individuals who share a love of cycling and the outdoors. We will always stop for a photo, or to hit a rope swing… Rubber side up!
Where did Prolly is Not Probably go?
It is still here, and then some. PiNP was one person's opinion and voice. Now we are a collective – a community of diverse opinions and rich stories.
What does the Radavist mean?
Rad + Atavist = RADAVIST
Why does a porpoise surf a wave, or a sea otter slide down a rock? Atavism is a primal trait in humans and animals that drives us to do what we do – what ought to come naturally. Atavism is why we ride the way we ride; From mashing the city on a track bike to shredding the trails on full suspension. Take the time to get rad.

I know a guy who pulled a pedicab trailer with his carbon Ibis for a year. It made me cringe, but the frame never cracked and he laid it down more than once.
