Matthew's introduction to Jesus' public ministry does not end with the stories of Jesus' childhood. Ancient biographies could include other introductory qualifications, and Matthew is no exception: he reports the attestation of the prophet John, of the heavenly voice and of Jesus' success in testing (3:1-4:11). Jesus' public ministry begins in 4:17.

Bioengineering for bank stabilization means incorporating living and dead trees into the materials used to build up eroded riverbanks as opposed to riprap, which is rocks. It's not just boulders, true riprap rock has a certain specific gravity and is quarried to have angles so it has more of a grip when pummeled by floodwater. But bioengineering is more resilient, and better for the riparian ecosystem. More information »

There is a high probability that homes and other structures damaged in the 2013 flood, unless removed or repaired, maybe washed downstream by high water during spring runoff or during subsequent high rainfall events. These structures have the potential to cause serious secondary flooding, threats to public health, and damage to improved property including damage to newly repaired or replaced roads and bridges.

U.S. Senators Mark Udall and Michael Bennet joined Gov. John Hickenlooper today to announce their successful effort to secure Federal Emergency Management Agency aid for state and local governments working to reduce hazards in streams caused by the September flood that pose an immediate threat to lives and property. This is a significant step in the state's work to rebuild and to help prepare for the impending spring runoff.
"Working as a team, we've made great strides rebuilding since September's flood. These funds, which I was proud to fight for in Washington, will help reduce the chances that spring runoff and rain do not cause tragic landslides or result in more destructive floods," Udall said. "This is welcome news for Coloradans along the Front Range, but it will not address all of our remaining needs. I will keep fighting to secure the resources communities ravaged by September's flood need to address both immediate dangers and to fully rebuild."
"This is a huge relief to Coloradans across the Front Range," Bennet said. "Several Colorado counties face the prospect of further property destruction when snow begins to melt in a matter of weeks, swelling streams clogged with hazards, and creating a high risk of new flooding. We're glad to work with FEMA and state and federal agencies to support local communities in their efforts to remove this debris as quickly as possible, in order to avoid more destruction this spring."
"FEMA's decision to help cover the cost of removing hazards from streams will help prevent future disaster and aid the state's recovery efforts," Hickenlooper said. "We are grateful to FEMA for allocating the resources needed to take this step to protect Coloradans in the flooded areas, many of whom are still recovering."
FEMA's initial focus on removing hazards from streams will be in Larimer and Boulder counties; other impacted counties are eligible to apply to FEMA for assistance as local officials define threats and identify sites.

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and contractor Kiewit Infrastructure will be scheduling lane closures on US 34 between Loveland and Estes Park in the coming weeks in order to allow for work that will help crews prepare for the spring thaw. Due to the temporary state of the highway following the September 2013 flood, crews need to perform hillside stabilization and rockfall mitigation work to ensure the highway remains safe throughout the spring as temperatures fluctuate with the weather. Rockfall mitigation work will help prevent loose materials from coming down on the highway on their own.
Upcoming impacts to motorists will mostly be single-lane closures for short durations to allow crews to perform barrier work, inlet work, or debris removal along the highway. Additionally, crews will be performing rock scaling operations which will require traffic stops for both directions of US 34 Mondays through Fridays between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. During rockfall mitigation stops, motorists will be halted for as much as 30 minutes. All work and lane closures are weather dependent, but are expected to begin Friday, February 21 and last throughout the week of Monday, February 24, or longer. Motorists are strongly encouraged to build an extra 30 minutes of travel time into their schedules! Learn more »

It might be payback time for Jon Corzine.
The former US senator, New Jersey governor and Goldman Sachs CEO might be banned from futures trading in the wake of the suspicious meltdown of MF Global in 2011.
Two new directors of the National Futures Association will push today for a review of Corzine's activities while he was head of MF Global. As you may recall, Corzine's firm improperly used $1.6 billion in client cash to cover bad bets right before it filed for bankruptcy. If the NFA approves this measure, they will hold hearings on Corzine and potential punishments, including never being able to trade futures ever again.
[Check out Advanced Trading's MF Global coverage during its meltdown and collapse.]
According to the Wall Street Journal this is personal:
The push for sanctions against Mr. Corzine is being led by John Roe and James Koutoulas, two Chicago-based futures executives whose clients did business with MF Global, some of whom have yet to recoup all of their funds from the collapsed firm. They won election to the NFA board last month on a platform pushing overhaul of a sector battered by the demise of MF Global and the accounting scandal that emerged last year at Peregrine Financial Group Inc., another futures brokerage.
Mr. Roe said in an interview that Mr. Corzine should face consequences for MF Global's failure to properly protect investors' money.
"If, at the end of this, there's no criminal consequence, no regulatory consequence, no monetary consequence, we've sent a bad signal to futures markets," said Mr. Roe.
A lifetime ban would be the ultimate setback for the former Wall Street Titan. He has been reportedly interested in starting a hedge fund and not being able to trade would hinder his ability to raise capital. Instead of returning to the scene of his debacle/crime/momentary lapse in judgement, perhaps Corzine should continue his philanthropy endeavors.
Sometimes a trader has to know when to walk away from the terminal.

Hello Chandler. As a civilian UAV/RPA pilot and member of the AMA, as well as a videographer,…Read MoreSAFETY is always my number one priority. Civilian UAV/RPA pilots NEVER fly over 400' and follow all AMA and FAA 'legal' requirements. I'm not sure how closely you follow the current 'civilian' UAV/RPA policies here in the USA, other than the sound-bites you hear on the TV or read in the newspaper, so I've included two interesting articles, one locally that outline what the current state of regulations are regarding civilian UAV/RPA piloting. Please keep in mind, there have been UAV/RPA pilots flying for over 25 years through the AMA with NO trouble from the FAA. I've also included a link to the AMA for your review. Again, SAFETY, is my top priority when offering my services to Realtors and homeowners who are desiring low-altitude aerial footage to use in their marketing material to help sell their homes. If, after you've read through the information in the links, please don't hesitate to contact me. Businesses embrace drones despite buzz of worry Article by: JIM BUCHTA , Star Tribune Updated: April 13, 2014 - 6:19 AM http://www.startribune.com/housing/255038911.html Drone Law Journal http://dronelawjournal.com/ Academy of Model Aeronautics - AMA http://www.modelaircraft.org/ **The AMA is the FAA's first choice when it will come time to manage civilian UAV/RPA registration.

"E" did a mini room makeover this summer to get more of a
big girl (teenager wannabe) look to her room.
We updated her comforter this spring with a blue and green comforter
and she asked if she could make some new artwork for her walls.
"E" used some of my circle punches from my scrapbooking stash
and punched out paint samples that she picked out at the hardware store.
Then she arranged them on a piece of 12x12 scrapbook paper (also from mom's stash.)
Once she liked the way they looked, I helped her glue them down.
She also used some of my Washi Tape to create a grid on one side and corner
of the piece and a bird scrapbook punch to make a small flying bird.
We put it in an old frame I had and I think it looks great.
It cost us nothing because all of the supplies were already available in the art studio.
She loves it and I think it looks great.

Customer Reviews
Simply brilliant
Wow, this really surprised me. It looks silly but it's a surprisingly sophisticated top-down racer. It looks superb and has very nice physics - the cars handle well and I love the details like the suspension compression when you corner quickly. The controls are a bit tricky at times - I sometimes miss the steering buttons and end up crashing - but I'm gradually getting used to it. This game has it all - it's a lot of fun to race (the AI is pretty tough), the internet multiplayer works well, and I love the extra 'delivery' mode. I hope they produce some more maps (racing and delivery mode) soon, as I've already gone through the ones that are included. Highly recommended.
Amazing addictive Game. A MUST for the iPad users
Really worth it
Just ignore the negative comments, they must be typing while having a stick up in their buttholes. This game is amazing, as simple as that! It has all the addictive factors, i.e challenging AI to keep you in the game for a longer while but not too difficult to beat. Plus, each car has significantly different performace on a diversity of aspects, including weights, steering, stability, acceleration, max speed, etc. Trust me the dev put real effort on everything you can think of to make this game rock. And yes it rocks

February 1, 2012
Two weeks after their lawsuit against the City of Charlottesville was dismissed, a group of panhandlers have filed an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit.
The appeal was filed Wednesday by attorney Jeffrey Fogel on behalf of Albert Clatterbuck, Christopher Martin, Earl McGraw, John Jordan and Michael Sloan, most of whom are homeless. The five originally filed a lawsuit last summer arguing that the city's panhandling ordinance on the Downtown Mall is unconstitutional and discriminates against homeless panhandlers.
The city's request to have the lawsuit dismissed was granted by Judge Norman Moon on Jan. 18. In his opinion, Judge Moon wrote, "The ordinance does not distinguish between favored and disfavored solicitation, and it does not discriminate based on a solicitor's identity."
The ordinance prohibits aggressive panhandling or soliciting of customers sitting at outdoor cafes or within 50 feet of two streets - 2nd Street SE and 4th Street NE - that cross the busy pedestrian mall. It doesn't allow panhandlers to make physical contact with or intimidate people on the mall, nor does it allow forms passive panhandling like holding up a sign.

The maggid has always held a special place in the heart of Klal Yisrael. A master of words and stories, he traveled from city to town to village, a modern-day prophet who showed us our strengths and weaknesses, who made us laugh at ourselves while teaching us vital life lessons.
In From the Maggidim of Yesteryear some of the best-known and most beloved maggidim of the past generations share their inspiration and wisdom. Following the order of the weekly Torah portion, here are stories and insights from the greatest of these itinerant teachers: the Maggid of Kelm, one of the most influential maggidim of Eastern Europe; Rav Shalom Schwadron, whose words galvanized all who heard him; the "Jerusalem Maggid," Rav Ben Zion Yadler; and the venerable Rav Yaakov Galinsky, shlita. These giants of the spirit offer us parables that bring our own life choices into sharp focus. They tell stories of great men and humble ones, each with a lesson that we can take into our daily lives.
When reading From the Maggidim of Yesteryear we are transported to another world, the wonderful world of the maggid. Its words evoke the crowded beis medrash, the thundering voice, the compassionate whisper, the hand banging on the shtender to drive home a point.
With our lives today growing ever more complex, it is in the stories of the maggidim - true stories and parables, tales of the shtetl and of today's urban jungles - that we can find clarity and the simplicity of absolute truth.
The voices of the maggidim are as clear today as they were in generations past. We will enrich our lives as we listen to them, immortalized in the pages of this important new book.

Celtics Morning Joe: Photographs
|Posted by shawn cassidy on October 10, 2012 at 6:00 AM
Photographs take us to that moment of happiness. They make us relive our past, and they show us what we were, and who wanted to become. Sometimes they can make us sad by seeing how young we once were. Photographs capture life embracing love and hate. Photos can provide comfort for a loss. They give us a glimpse of that loved one who's no longer here.
It seems like every season we fall victim to comparing every single team to the 2008 team. This season has brought up those feelings for the simple fact that the Celtics went out of the country once again for camp. Doc's reminded everyday of the 2008 trip. He has the Rome picture hanging in his office. Ubuntu was built in Rome, and this 2012 team wants that magic. But I think they need to move away from reliving that magic.
Ubuntu can be who the Celtics are. The principal, and belief in Ubuntu is great. But this team needs to stand on there own, and 2008 needs to be a good memory, and not something we try to relive with each new season. If you look at both pictures, they're obviously different. Only three players remain from that team, and thankfully their the three best players as well.
Some nights I go out to the ocean. The darkness sometimes overwhelms me. But that feeling goes away fast. Serious thoughts race through my mind. Like I should call my parents more, and than some really minor thoughts cross my mind. But their is one constant in my life, and that's my escape with the Celtics. Looking at old photos from the 2008 team makes us want to go back. That feeling of winning a title is surreal even as a fan.
I think more than anything with this team is that I hope they carve their on name. I want this team to stand the test of time just like 2008 squad will. The 2008 team was about the Big three. and their moment. This time around it's about Rondo's legacy, and that's why it's so different.
Five years from now I hope we compare the 2017 Celtics to this team. That's what I hope, and I hope to see a couple more banners up in the rafters.

And I love the different symbolism of these photos. That 2008 team was so amazing. They stand in front of the Colesseum and they seem like the Colesseum. They seem similar to it. They are an old team, a team of grizzled warriors, a team that is sure of itself and sure of its purpose.
This team? This team is a bridge. It is standing in front of a bridge, and not just any bridge; rather it is a bridge between continents, just as these Celtics are a bridge between eras. They aren't sure. They aren't grizzled warriors. They aren't a solid wall. They are still finding themselves. They are still defining themselves. They are spinning through space. No one believes that they can get to the other side. Commentators keep saying that they could win if Lebron goes down, Howard's back acts up, Indiana flops, KD loses his backpack and the stars collide.
But these guys are like Cirque De Soleil. They live in a world of their own making, and they are building a bridge to the future of basketball. And we fans are a part of that.

Simply the best pizza here in Oregon – I can't really review this pizza highly enough.
Being an east coast resident for 26 years of my life, I had my choice of top quality pizza places to choose from. Original Italian families setting up true pizzeria experiences was the norm and going out for pizza was an experience for the whole family.
As a person who is also 50% Italian, having a good pizza place to go to was almost synonymous with other concepts like 'family,' 'love' and 'passion.'
What I mean is that pizza means something to me.
Having moved to Oregon nearly 9 years ago, it was difficult for an east coaster to find a pizza place that was even close to the caliber that one would find back home. You would ask if someone knew of a pizza place and they would all say 'Pizza Hut' or 'Domino's'. It was horrific to realize that the association of 'pizza' to Oregonians was of the same standard of food that McDonald's or Burger King provide.
It was heartbreaking... :(
Fast forward to 2007 when I was driving to the DMV and noticed the 'Bellagio's Pizza' sign in Tualatin. I pulled in and ordered a piece of pepperoni, mushroom and black olive for lunch.
Ever since that day my family and I have not gone to another pizza place other than Bellagio's. The quality of pizza is second to none here in Oregon and the staff seems to care about the clientele in a very warm, 'family-type' manner. We are welcomed each time AND I feel that I know this staff from our weekly conversations. They are an exceptional bunch of people who just provide an exceptional, unbeatable pizza here in Oregon.
My kids now look forward to going in on our weekly Pizza Friday and I feel that I am passing on a family tradition that I had previously though unavailable anywhere but on the east coast.
Thank you so much, Bellagios Pizza! We are your customers for life :D
Thanks so much for your kind words. I thought I was the only one that related pizza to family, love and passion. I don't even feel like we are in the same business as the pizza companies you mentioned. Thanks for appreciating a quality product and a great team in Tualatin!! Julie Collins, President Bellagios Pizza
Editorial Review – New York style pizza by the slice or whole pie; toppings include Italian sausage, sun-dried tomatoes, artichokes and much more.
Yummy Bellagios – This is delicious pizza. A little spendy, perhaps, but worth it!

ESCANABA - "The Passion of Christ," a one-man stage performance by Doug Barry, will thrill and touch everyone that attends on Saturday, March 23, at 6:30 p.m. in the Holy Name School Gymnasium. Tickets can be purchased at Holy Name School or by calling Holy Family Parish at 786-1209. Cost is $10.
From the epitome of pain and agony to the world's most amazing act of love, "The Passion" will take the audience on an emotional journey through the most pivotal moment in history. It is a brilliant and gripping story that demonstrates not only the depth and power of God's love, but His ability to transform a symbol of death - the cross - into a symbol of everlasting hope and life.
"My husband and I watched it and cried all of the way through it," was the comment of view, Lauretta Sesock. "I think everyone should see this - especially teenagers."
Article Photos
"My children were profoundly touched by these dynamic artists," said another viewer, Catherine Lamb.
The performance of "The Passion" by Doug Barry and music performance by Eric Genius is considered to be one of the most dramatic and earthshaking presentations on the "Passion of Jesus Christ" ever seen. A powerful drama from the Birth of Our Lord to the Crucification and Death, the power of this performance has literally reduced thousands of people to tears.

Hi guys,
I bought a brand new Iphone about 1 month ago and I followed the guide made by vomer ( this one http://www.hackint0sh.org/forum/showthread.php?t=11833 ).
The phone was successfully unlocked and working with other Sims cards.
Now let's go to the problem..
Everything was working fine, I got internet,youtube,mail etc working.
The problem is that after I run different applications like mail,safari,sms, the phone gets stuck and crashes most of the times, going back to the "home" screen... and I have to say, it's really annoying, especially if I'm browsing some importants pages or reading a email... I believe this thing happened after a week or so that I unlocked my phone and installed few programs like Apollo (for IMs), Customize,etc.
It also seems that the phone is a bit slower to open applications than before..
Any idea what it could be or how to solve this?
Thank you in advance for your replys and Thanks to all the people here.

There are a lot of ways you could describe Limbo, but the one that sticks with me the most is that it's the anti-Mario. Both are puzzle solving platforming games but Limbo eschews Miyamoto's vibrant, rainbow colored world for one that's dark, dreary, and dangerous. Death is also handled very differently as Mario is never dismembered, decapitated, or cut into bits by a giant saw on screen.
In Limbo you play an unnamed boy (who I named "Billy") who wakes up in a dark field near a forest. The game provides prompts as to what to do as you mostly learn by doing and dying. Some help available from the main menu but there are no in-game tutorials that teach you the mechanics of the game. This might be frustrating for some but it's a nice bit of a throwback for old school gamers who might remember what it was like to have to learn how to play a game without having your hand held through tutorial levels.
From the field you venture forth into the dark world of the game with no reason as to why you are leaving and where you are going. This will frustrate some people is that there no real "plot" to the game, you just have to navigate Billy through an ever increasingly difficult set of puzzles until he reaches the end of the game. I did find the lack of structured narrative to be a bit off setting at first but then I realized that Playdead has provided gamers with a blank canvas to paint their own plot onto.
Is Billy dead and trying to escape from Purgatory? Is he trying to rescue someone or is it something else entirely? Who are the other other children in the game and why are they trying to kill me? Of course you can ignore all of this and focus on the devilishly clever puzzles but it feels like there's a lot of room for interpretation, especially if you factor in how the game ends (which I will not ruin as it adds another level to the game).
The puzzles are grouped into themes though (such as gravity, water, and momentum) and are a combination of platforming and physics based puzzles. You'll have to deal with giant spiders, bear traps, and even brain slugs as you try to get Billy through the game. While there isn't a narrative to tie the puzzles together there is some sense of progression as you move from the forest to a cave area to an industrial area.
What you can't ignore is the quality of the puzzles as they require mental horse power and quick reflexes. The cost for failure is Billy dying in a fairly gruesome manner. Honestly half the fun of the game was seeing the multitude of ways that Billy got sliced and diced. My particular favorite is the quick decapitation by bear trap with being quartered by giant saws a close second. For the squeamish there's a gore filter that you can turn on that blacks out the screen when Billy dies but you still hear the sounds of the game, leaving your mind to fill in the visual gaps the game hides.

Erin Jachimiak tried acupuncture, massage, Pilates, injections and chiropractic care to relieve her chronic back pain. Nothing worked for long.
"It hurt to walk. It hurt to basically do anything," she recounts.
She researched surgical options and realized her pain might be due to her sacroiliac joint, or SI joint.
Vikas Patel, MD, of University of Colorado Hospital, has been performing SI joint fusion for a few years, and has become "pleasantly surprised" with its benefits to certain patients.
Patel says the minimally-invasive procedure, which places implants across the joint to stabilize it, is effective only with a thorough and proper diagnosis of SI joint pain.

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) that is spread from person-to-person through direct contact with a syphilis sore during vaginal, anal, or oral sex. Symptoms of infection include skin
rashes and sores on the genital region, but some people can be infected with syphilis and have no symptoms at all. The best way to diagnose syphilis by having a blood test.
Syphilis is a big public health problem in Philadelphia because the number of cases is increasing at a fast rate, especially in women 15-40 years of age. Pregnant women can unknowingly pass the infection to their babies. Babies infected with syphilis can have mental retardation, physical deformities, or might die at birth.
You can prevent syphilis by always using condoms during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. If you have more than one different sexual partner, you should be checked by your healthcare provider for syphilis.

An all-inclusive hotel with a beautiful beachfront location.
The All-Inclusive Sheraton Gambia Hotel is built into the hillside, nestled between giant baobab trees, directly on the beach.
The Sheraton Hotel is built into the hillside overlooking the ocean, nestled between giant baobab trees. This beachfront property is extremely popular as an all-inclusive hotel and, as well as offering extensive conference facilities for its corporate guests, the hotel is well established as a popular tourist hotel. Its fantastic location beside the ocean ensures stunning views from both the rooms and public areas. The atmosphere is lively in winter, although quiet corners can be found and the small spa with its separate pool offers a tranquil alternative.
The appeal of the hotel is obvious as soon as you step into the impressive reception, with views down to the pool area and beach below through huge full length windows. The lower level of the hotel is situated next to the unspoilt beach with lawns surrounding the large infinity swimming pool. There are many pathways and steps within the hotel, although golf buggies are in operation on request and there are two glass lifts connecting the reception, Cremetata buffet restaurant and the pool/bar area.
Hotel bedrooms are of a contemporary style, most enjoying sea views from their ocean-facing balcony or terrace. There are 2 wings: the Baobab Wing is closer to the main building and restaurants, housing the Standard Baobab rooms. There is also a a variety of upgraded room options which are larger and closer to the beach. The tranquil, more exclusive Palm Wing houses the cliff-top Sunset Palm rooms as well as superbly located, beachfront Beach Palm rooms, both of which are larger with a lounge area and offer uninterrupted ocean views from both ground and upper floors.
Dining is buffet style and may be in the elevated Crematata buffet restaurant (not air-conditioned) where breakfast is also served, but mainly at the poolside. Live cooking stations for grilled meats and fish, as well as a pizza oven, offer something different and afternoon snacks including excellent burgers are served during the afternoon for all-inclusive guests. An à la carte menu is also available with a 25% discount for all-inclusive guests. The Bar A Cuda pool bar serves drinks throughout the day and is the main outlet for all-inclusive clients, with an alternative Link@Sheraton bar in the lobby lounge area which enjoys stunning sea views. This is now being run with a Wi-Fi service and interactive games area, and drinks are generally payable, except from 8pm-11pm when it now operates an all-inclusive bar service.
Bed and breakfast or half board can still be booked, but we suggest going 'all-inclusive' which is how we price our holidays as this is proving far more popular with our guests, allowing them to budget more effectively for their holiday - see all-inclusive information. The Sheraton is run primarily as a tourist hotel, with a lively atmosphere and less corporate feel, within the context of the Gambian laid-back, friendly attitude towards service. Whilst improvements are constantly being made, this hotel cannot be compared to some Sheraton properties in other destinations and, although customer feedback was very positive last winter, we still believe our 4 grade rating to be accurate.
Located near the village of Brufut, the setting of this hotel is more secluded than some others in our collection with few bars and restaurants in the direct vicinity, making it ideal for a hotel-based holiday. But with a number of activities on offer including a fitness room with a programme of exercise classes available, beach volleyball, darts and table tennis, there is plenty to do within the hotel along with simply relaxing! Children's activities may occasionally be organised, subject to minimum numbers, and there is a kid's play area and separate pool. The spa offers a good choice of treatments and we particularly recommend a massage overlooking the beach in one of the outdoor treatment cabanas. The lively resort of Kololi is also just a ten minute taxi ride away and the hotel works with local tourist taxis to provide a courtesy taxi service to shuttle you there twice daily - you can then make your own way back once you have finished shopping in the craft market or enjoying a refreshing drink in one of the numerous bars you will find there.
The Spa is located in a separate building with indoor and outdoor treatment areas, from where you can enjoy a massage overlooking the sea. There is also a quiet pool in this area overlooking the beach. Until the 31st October 2014, a 20% discount is available for all-inclusive guests on spa treatments. All guests will receive free use of the sauna and steam room from 9am-9pm. See spa information
The all-inclusive package is not 24 hours but continues until the standard departure time from the hotel on your day of departure; this does not however automatically entitle you to a late check out from the rooms which must be vacated by 12 noon to ensure they are ready for arriving guests. Please note that local excursions are not included in the all-inclusive price but can be booked through your representative.

Recycling waste labels from returnable bottles
At Plzensky Prazdroj, we aim to recycle or reuse as much brewery waste as possible. This year, Plzensky Prazdroj generated 159,317 tonnes of waste, of which 98.77% was reused or recycled. For example, spent grains, yeast and other malting commodities are used as fodder in the farming industry; cullet, waste foils, cartons and scrap metal are completely recycled and dust from barley processing is used in the production of alternative fuel.

Working to reduce, reuse and recycle
At Birra Peroni, we have a packaging sustainability strategy which helps us to seek opportunities to reduce the carbon emissions and waste associated through our packaging.
Over the last year, we have worked to standardise the packaging of our products and lightweight the glass 330ml bottles used for Peroni Gran Riserva. The weight of the bottles has been reduced by 40%, from 310g to 185g. We estimate that this will significantly reduce the carbon footprint of the packaging, saving approximately 750 tonnes of glass and 600 tonnes of C02e per year.

Building a talent pipeline
To achieve our growth strategies we need our leaders to have the skills, behaviours and passion to drive value through their teams.
We developed our European Management Development Programme (EMDP) to develop a talent pipeline by preparing our most talented current and future managers for their next challenges.
In partnership with Ashridge Business School we design the programme around a different theme each year. This year the theme was 'Impact', whether personal, team or organisational. As part of the learning experience, participants are given real business problems to address, enabling them to make their own impact through on-the-job learning.
The programme is delivering results. We have seen an increase in the confidence, performance and impact of those involved and 25% of the participants in 2010 were promoted within one year, taking new knowledge and innovative thinking into the business in their new roles.

Driving efficiency in our Polish breweries
At Kompania Piwowarska, we have saved about 35,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions over the last five years by improving the energy efficiency of our breweries. Between 2003 and 2012, for example, our Poznan brewery has reduced the amount of heat energy it uses to produce a hectolitre of beer by 57%, down from 135.39 MJ/hl to 58.34 MJ/hl.
Using renewable energy such as biogas from our waste water treatment plants also helps us reduce our CO2e emissions. During 2012, over 15% of the total gas used to power the boiler at our Tychy brewery was biogas from the brewery's waste water treatment plant.

RIP-IT 2014 Prototype BBCOR AIR Elite -3 Adult Baseball Bat
The 2014 RIP-IT BBCOR Air Elite has once again proven why their bats are here to stay. Using a composite carbon fiber handle, and a new formula for the aluminum in the barrel. This two-piece bat is constructed using RIP-IT's Rifle Barrel Technology. This technological advancement removes weight from the barrel without reducing the overall wall thickness of the bat - keeping durability intact. This is achieved by cutting precise grooves inside the barrel, resulting in dramatically lower M.O.I. and increasing bat speed. The Rip-IT BBCOR Air Elite is the best BBCOR bat they have ever made, and the most balanced.
Acoustic Barrel
Looking to generate more singles from poor contact? The Acoustic barrel on the new BBCOR baseball bats helps you do it. This unique BBCOR bat feature is made possible because of the limited drop off in exit speed when contact is made outside of the sweet spot.
R2 Composite
This marks the first time Rip It has used composite in a BBCOR bat. The new composite handle design makes the 2014 AIR Elite even more balanced than before, allowing you to swing the bat faster, and ultimately giving you more power.
R2 Alloy
This is the latest and greatest aluminum from the lab at Rip It! Stronger than ever, this new alloy allows them to rifle the barrel with deeper grooves, and further down the barrel, while still maintaining durability. This allows the Elite Air to be their most balanced BBCOR so far.
Contact Grip
Feel the contact, not the sting. The new Prototype BBCOR baseball bats includes the most advanced grip ever put on a certified BBCOR baseball bat. The Contact grip is designed to provide excellent grip, incredible vibration elimination, and extreme durability.

Product Reviews
New, all-in-one tool handles core-computing chores without fuss.
Windows Essential Business Server (EBS) 2008 is not so much a new product as it is a collection of existing tools. And where Windows Small Business Server (SBS) provides the all-in-one package for smaller companies with a maximum of 75 users or devices, EBS 2008 fills a server role for midsize organizations that have up to 300 users or devices.
There are two editions for midsize businesses to choose from (see Figure 1). EBS Standard Edition allows for three physical servers and includes Windows Server 2008 Standard, the all-new System Center Essentials, SharePoint Services 3.0 (available via download), Exchange 2007 and Forefront Security Server (Security for Exchange Server and Threat Management Gateway). EBS Premium Edition adds a fourth database server running SQL Server 2008 to the Standard Edition. Interestingly, through Dec. 31, 2009, Windows Server 2003 Standard and SQL Server 2005 are available instead of the newest releases.
Any experienced Windows SBS administrator knows there are pros and cons to an all-in-one setup; the same holds true for the midmarket choice. Obviously cost is the main factor in a decision to implement EBS. With a starting price of $5,067 for Standard and $6,188 for Premium, the savings are drastic compared to buying these server licenses individually. But with EBS, there's more to it than that.
So far, this review has been quite the sales pitch. Have we got you ready to drop a few more dollars Microsoft's way? Before you do -- and many will -- you might as well hear the cons of EBS.
The Cons of EBS 2008
EBS 2008: Thumbs up or Down?We're going to go with thumbs up on this one. It's obvious that the EBS development team held true to its path: The primary goal was to provide a better experience to midsize businesses, and EBS has done that. Better consoles; more tools; more flexibility over SBS; a tremendous lineup of servers including Exchange, SQL, System Center Essentials, Forefront; and the list goes on. EBS really is a cornucopia of necessary software for the midsize business, and it includes a solid set of admin tools that allow the IT administrator to work strategically, not just reactively.
Standard Edition: $5,067; Premium Edition: $6,188Microsoft Corp. 425-882-8080 www.microsoft.com
Printable Format
EBS cannot be integrated into an existing domain. 3x starting from scratch because the preparation wizard yet misses another item, excluding 2x restarting security server installation and 2x restarting messaging server installation, the latter now fails because for unknown reasons the server can not be added to the domain. The installation totally sucks for use in existing domains. 3 days for fresh installation, results are acceptable. 3 weeks for installation with join, including tweaks, 1000 times Microsoft KB (which also sucks) and googles and still a failure.
One more thing; Backup. EBS does not have a convenient backup solution integrated out-of-the-box like SBS. Backup isn't even installed (its a Server 2008 thing) and you will have to add the feature yourself, but even so you won't be able to backup your system properly as Exchange 2007 has special requirements. You will therefore have to include the cost of a backup solution into your EBS upgrade budget.
Good article, and refreshingly honest about the cons. SBS2003 users who rely on third-party add-ons to enhance their system (such as content filtering for ISA) will be disappointed to learn that these are no longer an option with TMG that ships with EBS, at least for the time being, leaving your system vulnerable despite the "enhancements" provided by the security server. The management console, although reasonably convenient, still has its share of bugs which cause doubt about the true state of your system (e.g.: SCE updates status).
As a next step up from SBS, it does present good value if you exclude the time and expense of migration from SBS (clean installs are a breeze in comparison).
you are so right about installation. It totally sucks! Probably more than 20 reboots, and at least 10 let's-go-back-to google failures.
Peter,Very nice article, good to see you up to your "old tricks" throwing stones at Goliath! We appreciate the "heads up" with a clear Pros and Cons view...maybe the battle will soon be ours!Thanks,John

Well I am into my second week of the BFL Challenge & just wanted to share my feelings. I must admit eating clean is NOT as hard as I was thinking. I actually love the routine of the whole program. I feel in control, thus empowered. I am totally new to the community but would love any feedback:) It's comforting knowing we are all working for the same goal...total health & body transformation!
Congratulations! Sounds like things are off to a great start. One day at a time, you can do this!
Best of luck!
Nice work,
Just keep that end goal in site
Keep going strong! You're doing great.
From my experiences, weeks 3 and 4 get hard and that's where most people drop off. BUT, push yourself through...it'll be SOOOO worth it!
