Complexity is an inherent property of living systems that arises from direct and indirect interactions among the earth's physical, chemical, and biological components. Biocomplexity includes the structural and functional attributes of dynamic systems that arise at all levels of biological organization, including individuals, populations, and communities. Importantly, ecological components of biocomplexity (e.g., biodiversity, ecosystem services) are in crisis, and are undergoing potentially irreversible changes in the face of rapid human population growth and economic development. Wise stewardship, based on all available scientific knowledge concerning these natural systems, is essential. Data Catalyzed by these societal concerns, and facilitated by technology advances, scientists focused on complex ecological systems have generated an explosion of ecological and environmental data. When integrated with data from other disciplines (e.g., meteorology), these data have the potential to greatly enhance understanding of biocomplexity. However, broad-scale and synthetic research is stymied because these data are largely inaccessible due to their spatial dispersion, extreme structural and semantic heterogeneity, and complexity.
Knowledge Networking
We propose to integrate the distributed and heterogeneous information sources required for the development and testing of theory in ecology and its sister fields into a standards-based, open architecture, knowledge network. The network will extend recent advances in metadata representation to provide conceptually sophisticated access to integrated data products drawn from distributed, autonomous data repositories. In addition, the knowledge network will include advanced tools for exploring complex data sets from which multiple formulations of hypotheses can be tested.
The existence of such a network will lead to broadened understanding of biocomplexity and ecological systems, and allow the application of that understanding to societal issues. In developing this network, we will create a new community of environmental scientists who will be able to focus on complex, multi-scale problems that, to date, have proven to be intractable. We will perform foundational research in computer science and informatics to create new tools for discovering, retrieving, interpreting, integrating, and analyzing data from these diverse sources. Our prototype network will be useful across a variety of disciplines and will provide a basis for the growth of multidisciplinary research groups focused on biocomplexity.
To accomplish these goals, we have created an intellectual consortium that comprises the National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS), the Long-Term Ecological Research Network (LTER) and the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC). Our partnership has a successful history and includes (1) advanced expertise in ecology, informatics, and computer science, (2) a comprehensive understanding of the critical obstacles that data heterogeneity and dispersion create for advancing synthesis and understanding, and (3) strong commitments to addressing those obstacles that deter broad-scale and synthetic analyses. Impact The results of the proposed research will have broad implications for our ability to understand and manage sustainably the complex ecological systems and biological resources on which all humans depend. Information on biocomplexity is voluminous and complex, but currently is inaccessible to research scientists and policy makers. The intellectual advances in information science that we propose will, for the first time, provide an accessible infrastructure for identifying, integrating, managing, and, ultimately, synthesizing the nation's ecological and biodiversity information resources.

We want to design some email templates for the quotes we send to customers.
I was wondering if there was any advise on the widths that you should design emails to - or is this just the sames as webpage design widths?
Thanks for the help
I'm just getting into this myself. According to SitePoint's book on this, they suggest a width of 800px (like the old monitor standard). When people read these e-mails in their programs such as Windows Mail, it's a much smaller window than a regular 1024 x 768 monitor.
Hope this helps!
Try these two Sitepoint articles: Code HTML email newsletters and Designers Guide to HTML email
In terms of widths - remember that some people will be reading emails in a much narrower (and shorter) space than they will typically use to view web pages.
I wouldn't -- since I have all my servers set to auto-send HTML e-mails to the users trash... like a lot of hosts.
HTML e-mail pretty much just screams "Hey look, I'm SPAM" - so I wouldn't be wasting my time (or bandwidth) on them in the first place.
And something else I'm finding out (I'm pretty new at this, too) even though the likes of Campaign monitor.com will test your HTML e-mail in various browsers, I'm still getting replies back from recipients, "your last e-mail was blank. There was nothing in it." Back to the drawing board for me!
You don't get the sitepoint ones then?
Blanket blocking all html emails seems very backward - html has huge advantages when you are trying to present complex and visual information via email.
If your blocking html emails because they may be spam, why don't you go the whole hog and just block all email and go back top pigeon post - that will ensure your nocking out 100% of spam.
there is a nice sitepoint book on html email. I like it.
as a graphic designer I think a single picture is worth a million words and that although the take a while to load proper use of them is good; in fact, necessary sometimes.
However, in the case of email, I am going to have to slightly agree with death shadow and say that email is better off in text alone. Slightly because DeathShadow seemed, with all due respect, quite firm on his position regarding graphic email.
I just realised how disgusting, sorry if thats harsh, email with flash or animated GIFs would be.
Anywho, if it i needs images or styling it should be a webpage or a pdf not an email and that what I think.
It's fair enough if you want plain text only, but very backward looking if you are blocking it on all your servers you host.
To assume everyone is like yourself and don't want html email is pretty niave, and to assume all html email is spam is plain rediculous.
Actually it is you who are backward looking. I'm not saying that you. personally, want to corrupt and destroy a perfectly good communications medium, all I'm saying is that if you in fact did want to do that, html in email is exactly the right way to do it.
Judging from the html emails I get it's actually a good robust first order heuristic. If you want me to read a web page, give me a link to the web, thanks.Quote:
To assume everyone is like yourself and don't want html email is pretty niave, and to assume all html email is spam is plain rediculous.
You may prefer that, but the majority of people (who are not technophiles, and barely understand the difference between email and the web) are not going to. Every step you put in the way, such as requiring someone to click on a link, reduces the number of people who will see the page.
... and slow loading with usually broken layouts since not one e-mail client seems to render HTML e-mails like any other and the immediate kneejerk "hey look, and advertisement" isn't going to reduce the number of people who see the page?
Or worse, annoy the ever living **** out of them?
As Ed said, it's a damned good first order heuristic when it comes to blocking spam since the majority of people who send legitimate e-mails don't have the skills to even MAKE an HTML one!
As I said, before, if you had bothered to read what I'd written, anyone sending an HTML mailing should ask people whether they want to receive it in HTML or plain text format. If that isn't feasible, at the very least send it in multipart so that people whose mail clients can read HTML will do so, and those the can't will show the plain text version.
I think you are missing some very major points:
1/. As in our case, there are companies that send information in html formatted email - at the SPECIFIC REQUEST of clients. Therefore blocking these at server level is doing something YOUR CUSTOMERS DO NOT WANT.
2/. Spammers have only one thing in mind, to get the highest action rate per email sent. Therefore if you are saying the majority of spam emails use html, then why are they doing it? - Obviously html email is more effective at getting a desired action than non html email. Therefore this proves the point that html email is more effective in certain situations than non html email (whether for spamming or legitimate purposes). If people like yourself just block html emails, then this would reduce the effectivness of the spam, and the spammer is not stupid, so as soon as non html formatted email becomes more effective than html formatted email, they are just going to switch over to non html format. Actually if I check my spam emails which I get a huge amount of, I would say 90%+ is plain text to get round spam filters.
3/. You are not seperating the "general public" from "companies" here. Agreed the general public don't know how to make html, but the majority of decent web savy companies of course do - which is why you will find the majority of newletters type emails from these companies are done in html format (again they are not doing this out of fun as they take much longer to make - they are doing it because they know it is more effective).Quote:
since the majority of people who send legitimate e-mails don't have the skills to even MAKE an HTML one!
4/. If you know what you are doing it is relatively easy to send a html email, that will render as a normal text email would in a non html email reader.Quote:
And you think sending html to someone whose email reader doesn't know about html won't be a barrier to them? Or do you prefer just to pretend that those people don't still exist?
5/. One of your points is that you should just provide a link to a webpage if you want html rendering. This ignores the fact that it is often the case that emals are often sent to companies which have a block ban on external links to any site not on their safe list. This makes any link useless, therefore there is a necessity to get that information in the email. Even if the customer can view the weblink, you are still putting an extra step in the process, which in any marketing is a number 1 rules to avoid.
Actually I'll take my agreement back "Agreed the general public don't know how to make html" - of course they do - all email edits have a very obvious select to swith between plain, rich text and html. So what you are saying is that most people who send legitimate emails don't have the skills to switch html mode, and never send in that mode? - That's plain rubbish and blows your arguement apart.Quote:
since the majority of people who send legitimate e-mails don't have the skills to even MAKE an HTML one!

LONDON, Ont. – Canada's National Sledge Team has won the gold medal at the 2011 World Sledge Hockey Challenge, shutting out Norway 8-0 on home ice Saturday night at the Western Fair Sports Centre.
Billy Bridges (Summerside, P.E.I.), Adam Dixon (Midland, Ont.) and Greg Westlake (Oakville, Ont.) each scored two goals, while Bradley Bowden (Orton, Ont.) and Derek Whitson (Chatham, Ont.) contributed singles, and Corbin Watson (Kingsville, Ont.) earned the shutout en route to the gold medal win.
During the preliminary round, Canada defeated the United States 3-1, blanked Norway 14-0 and beat Japan 12-0 to finish atop the standings. The Canadians beat Japan 11-1 in Friday's semifinal.
Earlier Saturday, the United States defeated Japan 9-1 to take home the bronze medal, with Kevin McKee and Nikko Landeros both scoring two goals, while Adam Page, Daniel McCoy, Josh Pauls, Alexi Salamone and Greg Shaw all had a goal apiece.
Canada's National Sledge Team took silver at the 2009 World Sledge Hockey Challenge in Charlottetown, P.E.I., but won gold medals at the event in 2008, also in Charlottetown, and in 2007 in Kelowna, B.C.
The four teams that competed in London at the 2011 World Sledge Hockey Challenge were also the top four finishers at the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games in Vancouver, B.C.

The American Library Association (ALA) and the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) support including enhanced civil liberties and due process safeguards in the reauthorization of selected provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act. When Congress last reauthorized these provisions in 2005, it recognized the need for oversight and sunsets to ensure that there would be an opportunity to revisit the Act and make necessary changes. Since then, Justice Department investigations have produced abundant evidence of the need for comprehensive reform of the Act. Congress should pass the USA PATRIOT Act Sunset Extension Act of 2009 with key amendments to protect civil liberties.

Boy, 5, kills sister, 2, with gift rifle
BURKESVILLE, Ky. — A 5-year-old boy accidentally shot his 2-year-old sister to death in rural southern Kentucky with a rifle he had received as a gift last year, authorities said.
The children's mother was home at the time of the shooting Tuesday afternoon but had stepped out to the front porch for a few minutes and "she heard the gun go off," Cumberland County Coroner Gary White said. He said the rifle was kept in a corner and the family didn't realize a bullet was left inside it.

I'm a mellow guy I don't even drink beer, and there I was schlepping a ten by ten portable photo booth, the lights, the cameras, the computers, my assistant David who's been a friend for fourteen years, and we're two Jewish guys, surrounded by 10,000 drunken, granola bar shiksas, who were either neo-hippies or neo-Nazis. It was hard to tell, and they were all over us. They wanted us, their hands were busy, and their mouths were landing in places we hadn't yet certified kosher. But how much could either of us want a woman who reeked of beer and was wearing a cheese and pretzel necklace, complimented by a two-foot, cloth, beer-stein cap set on fake milk maid braids? For this we drove through the Old West on winding mountain roads, over rushing rivers, and through deserts to get to Denver? Well, it's a tough job, but somebody had to do it. My problem is that lots of women want me, not just beautiful drunks, but also some wonderful but mixed-up Jewish women. Because I'm a successful man, quite handsome, with an interesting money-making business in such a down economy, and I'm a great listener and appreciator of women, my phone rings so much that the battery dies every day from overuse. I'm looking for someone to cherish. I want someone who is as nice-looking and fashion aware as I am, as educated as I am, who cares about other people, politics, and the environment. Corny as this may sound, I want a woman who loves Judaism, who is spiritual, and who isn't looking for Christian Grey. In other words, if you are sweet, smart, and spiritual, send me a message, but please no nude photos!

'Bones' Recap: Double the Murders in Two-Hour Return

returns from its winter hiatus with "The Diamond in the Rough" and "The Archaeologist in the Cocoon" in a special two-hour night. Can you handle this much Brennan and Booth? Of course you can.
So They Think They Can Dance?
If someone were to ask you how Booth put himself through college, dance instructor probably wouldn't make it to the top 100 guesses. But that's what he did -- making $30/hour no less! It was a way for him and his mother to bond (awww) when he was young.
Booth's dancing skills come in handy when he and Brennan go undercover -- as Buck and Wanda -- and try out for a ballroom dancing competition as they chase leads on who killed one of the best female dancers who was to try out as well.
Brennan thinks she can just watch someone dance and be able to mimic the moves. This turns out to be hilarious, as she's, well, not exactly the most graceful out there on the dance floor. But her enthusiasm is infectious, and she's trying.
Break A Leg
The dead dancer's male partner quickly found someone else to tango with after her death. And this new girl has a stage mom for a mother, always yelling at her daughter and pushing her to the point of ... yes, poison.
But the poison isn't what actually killed her -- it was her neck being snapped, courtesy of the new dancer's boyfriend, who wanted nothing but to see her be one of the top dancers. He thought if she won, she'd finally be able to break free from her mother's ways.
Even though the bad guy is caught, Brennan really wants to go ahead with their audition. Everyone's going to be there! They start off horribly. It's funny, awkward and uncomfortable all at the same time. And then something happens -- every slows down and Brennan and Booth seem so very angelic. It's all really sweet, and I got a bit emotional.
Happy Medium for Angela
It's also worth noting that Angela spent the entire episode being sad about her job. It only took her eight years, but she's realizing her job isn't as artistic as she imagined it to be. While I say her job of reconstructing faces
art in a way, she doesn't seem to agree.
By the end, Hodgins has talked to Cam to get Angela's hours cut so that she doesn't have to completely give up the job she's so very good at -- and one in which she works with her husband -- and pursue her artistic dream.
Published to Kill
In "The Archaeologist in the Cocoon," the story of an archaeologist's remains found in a cocoon isn't all too interesting but it's particularly sad because he left behind a very pregnant wife whom he met in Chechnya. Her family are pure traditionalists and didn't approve of her marrying a foreigner. So much so that her father whipped him.
But that isn't what killed him. Booth first believes it was her brother, that a former military guy killed his sister's husband for $20,000. I'm not particularly keen on what the going rate is when there's a bounty on someone but I don't know, $20,000 seems particularly low to commit murder.
But the brother isn't the killer because the archeologist was killed with a heavy object ... specifically a bookend. That only leaves the victim's publisher, who was appalled he wanted to publish in a journal.
New Discovery
The scene that steals this
episode is in the end. The archaeologist had uncovered remains that were mix of homosapien and neanderthal. I also need to point out how Brennan licked, yes
, the bones to figure out they were human. Human bones stick to the tongue. Don't everyone go scrambling to test that theory!
Anyway, in order to explain this one-of-kind finding of a child who was a mix of the homosapien mother and neanderthal father, the Jeffersonian team act out the scene of what happened: basically the child starved to death because she wasn't accepted by others and died with her mother and father, who the child had attacked previously. Or something like that. The scene was way more amusing than I'm explaining.
Next week, it looks like Pellant is back. Can he finally die or be brought to justice -- for good?
airs at 8pm Mondays on FOX.

Chiffon A-line with Beaded Lace on Empire Style 9V9743
love this dress
This dress was just me. I was looking for a simple, elegant dress and was only finding dresses that had too beads and bling. The girls were so helpful because they went out of there way to find that dress for me.
Thank you Thank you!!

The One
I just bought this dress for my outdoor May wedding. I had been looking at it online for months. When I went to David's and put it on for the first time, I just knew. I felt and looked beautiful. I tried on 3 more dresses to be sure and none of them came close. As soon as I put it on I could NOT stop smiling! I can't wait to see his face!
October 4, 2010
This was the one.
I had two visits to Davids Bridal and I tried on several dresses. I liked them all, but when I tried this one on, I fell in love and began to tear up. This dress is so much more gorgeous in person than it is in the catalog or online. I definitely recommend trying this dress on. It flows beautifully and it flatters your curvyness :) I am so in love with this dress!
October 3, 2010
The Dress is beautiful. Not too much and not too little. It created a waist I never thought I had and gave me just enough train to feel like a Princess.

Students spend weekend networking, learning at MEDA
Four senior business majors spent a chilly but "enlightening" weekend at the recent Mennonite Economic Development Associates (MEDA) annual convention.
Phil Mason, assistant professor of business, and the four students attended the event, Nov. 1-4 in Niagara Falls, Ontario.
For Sean Claassen, Elmira, Ore., "the MEDA conference was an enlightening experience. The seminars I attended expanded my knowledge of business practices and provided me with alternative perspectives to my current education."
Claassen was particularly intrigued with plenary speaker Jeff Van Duzer, dean of the School of Business and Economics at Seattle Pacific University and author of "Why Business Matters to God (And What Still Needs to be Fixed)," InterVarsity Press, 2010.
"He spoke on the nature of ethics in today's workplace and explored the question of why good people end up doing bad things," Claassen said.
"Another great experience was the student case competition," he added, "in which we were given the opportunity to critique a real-life business plan, develop solutions to address challenges within the plan and present our findings in person to the owner of the business."
The Bethel students competed as a team and came in a close third out of seven, all from Mennonite colleges in Canada and the United States.
Fine out more about more about the students' time at the MEDA convention.
Two basketball events add fun to the holiday season
Alumni, friends of Bethel and their family members are invited to two special Bethel basketball events in early December.
The Alumni Council will host Alumni and Friends Night at the women's and men's games against Tabor College on Saturday, Dec. 8, in Thresher Gymnasium. Beginning at 4:30 p.m., members of the council will offer giveaways at the door. They will also conduct a drawing for prizes at halftime of the men's varsity game.
The varsity women play at 5p.m. and the varsity men at 7p.m. A men's junior varsity game at 3p.m. precedes the two varsity games. Regular admission prices apply to all games.
At 7p.m., Wednesday, Dec. 12, the varsity men's team will play former Bethel men's basketball players in a scrimmage in Thresher Gym. The event is free and open to the public.
Anyone who wants to join the Thresher alumni team should contact Alonzo Jamison, head men's basketball coach, at 316-284-5391 or email@example.com.
As a spectator and/or a participant, join the Bethel basketball fun!
New Bethel Christmas CD: 'Nights of Wonder'
A new double CD titled "Nights of Wonder: Music of the Christmas Fests at Bethel College" is now available and would make a great Christmas gift for BC alumni and friends. All proceeds benefit the college through the Bethel College Women's Association (BCWA), which is helping with promotion, distribution and financial support.
The set can be purchased for $20 (plus tax) at the college bookstore in Schultz Student Center, open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Dec. 3-7, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Dec. 10-21, closed Dec. 24-Jan. 1, 2013. To order by mail or for more information, contact BCWA president Donna Becker '70, North Newton, at email@example.com or 316-284-5327.
The popularly titled Christmas Fests began in 1968 and ended in 1999. The CD set includes live recordings from nine of the 20 most recent fests, selected on the basis of recording quality (the first in 1979) and featuring a variety of vocal and instrumental groups. Examples include "Gloria" performed by the Concert Choir, a brass ensemble and percussion in 1983; an excerpt from Corelli's "Christmas Concerto" played by the Sinfonia in 1990; "O Holy Night" by the Concert Choir and Sinfonia plus Newton Community Children's Choir in 1995; and "I Saw Three Ships" featuring the Concert Choir, bells, percussion and four-hand piano in 1996.
Marles Preheim '55, North Newton, professor emeritus of music who taught at the college from 1977-99, led the CD project. Ilene Schmidt '54, North Newton, longtime administrative assistant in the President's Office, provided assistance. Robert W. Regier '52, professor emeritus of art, designed the cover.
Give a gift rich in Bethel history
Alumni and friends of Bethel would enjoy receiving the new history book, "Bethel College of Kansas 1887-2012," written by longtime history professor Keith Sprunger in observance of the college's 125th anniversary this year.
Through stories, historical accounts and images, the 300-page, hardcover account tells the story of the oldest Mennonite college in North America from its beginnings in 1887 to the present time. It delves into such fascinating topics as Bethel in the 1960s, the presidency of Dr. Harold J. Schultz and the college in the 21st century.
Robert W. Regier '52, professor emeritus of art, designed the dust jacket and a color photo gallery inside.
"Bethel College of Kansas 1887-2012" is available at the bookstore in Schultz Student Center for $39.95 (plus $3.32 tax), and can be shipped for an additional $9.50 (U.S. rate). The bookstore is open 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Dec. 3-7, 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Dec. 10-21, closed Dec. 24-Jan. 1, 2013.
Sprunger, who is Oswald H. Wedel professor emeritus of history, served Bethel for nearly 40 years in the Department of History and spent nearly five years researching, conducting interviews, compiling photos, and writing and editing the new history.
Museum program to look at 19th-century women's farm work
On Dec. 9 from 3:30-4:30 p.m., Isaias McCaffery, a history professor at Independence Community College, will give the third Sunday-Afternoon-at-the-Museum program to complement the special exhibition "Threshing Stone: Mennonite Artifact & Icon."
McCaffery will speak on "Rural Kansas Women at Work (1850-1900)." He is author of the book "Mennonite Low German Proverbs from Kansas," available for purchase in the museum store. The speaker will sign copies following the presentation.
Sunday-Afternoon-at-the-Museum programs are free to the public through a grant from the Kansas Humanities Council.
"Threshing Stone: Mennonite Artifact & Icon" will be on display through Jan. 20, 2013. The museum is open Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 1:30-4:30 p.m. It will be closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Museum store offers unique shopping opportunities
Forget Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Come to Kauffman Museum to do your Christmas shopping.
The museum store carries something for every age -- puzzles, jewelry, children's toys, books, calendars, gift items, peppernut presses and much more. New this year are colorful socks made from recycled cotton; nifty, reusable nylon shopping bags (great stocking stuffers or hostess gifts); and kids' play tents made by Crystal '04 and Joel '06 Gaeddert, North Newton.
The books "Leave No Threshing Stone Unturned" by Glen Ediger '75, North Newton, and "Bethel College of Kansas 1887-2012" by Keith Sprunger are both in stock. In conjunction with the current special exhibition, "Threshing Stone: Mennonite Artifact & Icon," wheat weaving Christmas tree ornaments made by Felice Goering '59, Moundridge, will also be for sale.
Store hours are the same as regular museum hours: Tuesday through Friday, 9:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday, 1:30-4:30 p.m. The museum and store will be closed Christmas Day and New Year's Day.
Come visit -- and shop -- over the holidays!
Give Bethel a year-end gift to celebrate its 125th
While you're in the holiday giving mood, give a gift to Bethel in recognition of its 125th birthday as 2012 -- also the end of the tax year -- comes to a close. Any gift from $12.50 to $125 to $1,250 or beyond will be appreciated.
You may give online through our gift page or mail your donation to Development Office, Bethel College, 300 East 27th Street, North Newton, KS 67117. A tax-deductible receipt will be sent. Thank you.
Christmas greetings from Bethel College
President Perry White, Dalene White and the campus community wish a Merry Christmas to all Bethel alumni and supporters of the college. Their online greeting can be found on our website.
The electronic card features a recent photo of the Lighting of the Green, the annual Sunday night service when students, faculty and staff form a circle at the center of the campus and light candles in observance of Advent.
Accompanying the image is the German Christmas classic "Nun ist Sie Erschienen," arranged by Elvera Voth '46, North Newton, and sung by the men's a cappella group Open Road on their 2006 CD, "Assemble." The beginning lyrics can be translated as "Now appeareth the Heavenly Sun in its glory" ("The Youth Hymnal," Faith and Life Press, 1956).
May God fill your life with light and joy this Christmas season.

Great film-making in realistically portraying the Russian treatment of Germans in their Berlin invasion at the end of WW II, while also being entertaining overall (a difficult juxtaposition to achieve) . Powerful in its impact.
This movie is an powerful testament to the survival instinct in conflict with personal human dignity and ethical considerations. Although it is extremely difficult to watch because of its visceral depiction of personal degradation and assault, the triumph of this woman's spirit who managed to act with courage and conviction under the most dire of ************* is more than compelling, it is

The Hollywood Reporter
The film ends up relying on stating a basic situation over and over rather than developing any sort of dramatic story concerning recognizable human beings, at least until things get moving a little faster in its second hour. Full Review
A.O. Scott
The New York Times
That the film manages to be understated, calm and intelligent in spite of its wrenching subject matter is perhaps its most impressive accomplishment. In avoiding sensationalism, it feels very close to the truth. Full Review

A distinctive achievement, a World War II movie unlike any other and one of the few films ever to address a topic that makes almost everyone want to look away: What happens to women in wartime. Full Review
Ann Hornaday

Joins such wonderful recent films as "The Lives of Others" and "The Baader Meinhof Complex" as a clear-eyed portrait of a highly charged chapter in Germany's history, a history that once again proves rewarding fodder for an alert artistic imagination. Full Review

My Mother's Fork
It is more than 80 years old, my mother's fork. Its tines, twisted this way and that, have oxidized to a mottled gray. There is a major dent on the bottom of the handle, which is rock-hard from years of Mother's use. Four small decorative details, plus a peg, hold it all together.
Mother, though a bit frugal, was a superb cook. Simple fare it was. Generous cuts of meat, the freshest vegetables, right from her garden, and plenty of fruit made up the many meals Mother produced.
She had a neat, functional kitchen and she had no use for drawers filled with kitchen utensils. Her fork, however, was used often.
The fork was thrust into a rare roast to check for doneness. (Who needs a meat thermometer?)
The fork turned a browned chop. (Who needs tongs?)
The fork lifted a steaming potato. (Who needs a slotted spoon?)
I now have a meat thermometer, tongs and a slotted spoon, but mostly, I use my mother's fork.

Thanks to XicanoBeerRun for helping me continue my hop education.
This pours a good auburn/tan color. I pick up a lot of light, earthy aromas. Slightly chewy, with a warm earthy finish. Best description I came up with was like a forest after a rainstorm. Some citrus peel on the palate. Dried fruits: pineapple, mango, tropical fruits, with a very curious finish.

My 1st taste of the Mikkeller single hop series
A - Darkish, brown sugar appearance with a bit of peach hue. Finger and a half of head that sticks with the beer all the way down. Sticky lace everywhere. Lots of floating sediment. As good of an appearance in a beer as I can ever ask for..
S - Nice and hoppy
T - Hoppy, nice malt backbone, and well balanced. Not a very bittering hop. Well balanced citrus and bitter hop. Very good
M - Full bodied and well carbonated. Damn good mouthfeel.
O - It seems to have been aged a bit, I don't know..there is no bottled on date. But has almost turned into an old ale, which I love. A nice door into the Palisade hop, and a damn good beer

11.2 fl oz. bottle, with no apparent bottled on date present. This beer is definitely not fresh though, and I regret sitting on buying this beer for so long. But alas, here I have it. Another in the Mikkeller Single Hop series. Expectations are decent, since I had good results with many of the others.
Poured into a clear balloon snifter glass.
A - Pours about a finger and a half of frothy khaki foam. Body is a brown hued burnt sienna orange with lots of fine dark sediment twirling around the glass. Looks nice.
S - The smell returns me to what I really like about these beers. Lots of complexity for an IPA, especially at an old age. Earthy grassy hops, sweet malt, champagne like yeast presence, some funkiness, damp wood.
T - Taste follows the nose: sweet creamy caramelized malts, earthy bitter hops, green apples, some coppery mineral taste, & some dry chalky yeast presence. I feel like there is also some herbal spice rack note in there that I can't identify.
M - Feel ends sticky, bitter, and dry. Green apple and caramel malt on the aftertaste. Easy drinking with good carbonation.
Overall, it wasn't quite as amazing as some of the others were, but I guess I can't blame it since it's my fault for not buying it sooner. Definitely a nice showcase for this unique variety of hop. Definitely recommended if this beer is still available to you.

330ml brown bottle purchased from Leura Cellars as preparation for a Palisade-heavy beer we were planning on home brewing. Poured without the sediment.
Pours a deep red-flecked golden colour, almost amber in hue, with a frothy, off-white head of specks. Lacing is wavy, forming diminutive patterns as it falls. Decent body weight. Looks pretty good.
Nose is pretty muted without much true hop aroma. There's a little earthy greenness to it, mingled with a fairly substantial grainy malt character which works with and accentuates to organic, slightly woody characters of the hops. Slight rounded, sulphury tones come through as well, not unpleasantly, but different enough to the others in the range.
Taste is smooth and pleasant, with a very clean vegetative bite that persists throughout but doesn't become too prominent. Pleasing uptilt of bitterness on the back cleans it up, although it also turns slightly medicinal on the finish. Malt is present throughout but always subdued—while the Palisade doesn't have a truly big character that makes me feel like it has a personality of its own, it does get to show off what it's got here.
Feel is smooth and pleasant as well.
Overall, I think this is a decent beer, but it's probably one of the lesser Mikkeller Single Hop beers. This is probably due partly to Palisade itself, which seems a pretty neutral hop from what I've seen of it. In the end, do I have a sense of the hop though? Maybe. It's actually really hard to see what it has to say for itself, even though you feel like it's trying to say it as loud as it can.

Haven't loved most beers in this series, with the exception of the Amarillo Single Hop. Mikkel's my favourite brewer ever, so expectations are high. 11.2 fl oz brown glass bottle with standard silver pressure cap served into a conical Samuel Smith's pint glass in me gaff in low altitude Los Feliz, Los Angeles, California. Acquired at K&L Wines in Hollywood. 6.8% ABV confirmed. Bottled and brewed at De Proef. Imported by the Shelton Bastards.
Label is a sort of grey-black mosaic; somewhat uninspired.
Served straight from the fridge. Side-poured with standard vigor as no carbonation issues are anticipated.
A: Pours a 5+ finger beige colour head of decent cream and thickness, and great (8+ minute) retention. Little lacing as the head slowly recedes. Foamy and soft. Body colour is a murky hazy caramel-copper. No yeast particles are visible. Semitranslucent. No bubble show. Standard fare for the style. There's nothing unique or special here, though the head is impressive considering the high ABV.
Sm: Floral hops, biscuity grains, an earthy note, and biscuit malts. Caramel. Grassy character. Some must. Herbal notes. Strange for an IPA; maybe this is old? An average strength aroma. No yeast or alcohol is detectable. Not all that appealing for the style.
T: Hm. Biscuity malts form the unlikely foundation, with subtle floral and herbal hopping riding atop. A bit earthy and musty, in a good way. Caramel malts. Fermented tangerine. Somewhat grassy. More grainy than most IPAs. Clean, pleasant, and balanced. Very timid; this isn't the bold IPA most look for. It's not horribly complex, but that's the nature of this series. It's meant to be simple and educational. And in that it succeeds. Still, it definitely won't blow you away.
Mf: Coarse, scratchy, and wet. I'd stop short of refreshing. It's a bit off; I'd prefer it clean and smooth. Carbonation is almost ideal. Presence on the palate is average. Delightfully soft - a highlight. Chewy.
Dr: It's an educational beer - as all are in this series. But as an import, it's poorly priced. I wouldn't get it again, but I'm glad to have tried it. I guess palisade isn't the hop strain I prefer in IPAs. Good to know. Hides its highish ABV well. Certainly drinkable, but underwhelming.

3.33/5 rDev -10.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 3 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Pours cloudy, honey gold on the brownish side with a slight head that leaves a fine coat of lacing.
Malt aromas are more prominent than the hops with caramel and some orange, all rather mild.
Light bitterness up front builds to a modest middle and strong, lingering finish. The flavors generally resemble sun tea.
This is a full-bodied beer with some alcohol, a wooly texture, and ample carbonation. Overall it is cleansing.
Palisades was enjoyed as part of a self-training exercise to distinguish between the varieties of hops. However, a meal would be well accompanied by this beer.
Sampled from a Harp nonic alongside the Simcoe Single Hop IPA.

One of the nicer of the single hopped IPAs from Mikkeller so far. I mean, it's still got that clogged character to it, but what is there is a nice brighter experience. By brighter I mean more vibrant than what seems to be the standard for this series. A nice drinker.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
Body is perhaps a hint redder amber than the others in the series. Poured with a one inch head, not much lacing.
Smell is fruity (tangerine), a bit of green grass, with some sweet caramel notes.
Taste is quite fruity with tangerine, some green tea, and sweet caramel. Quite smooth and accessible, with just a slight bitterness in the finish.
Body is light and the mouthfeel is crisp and refreshing, maybe a bit too much carbonation, sort of soda like.
Overall, one of the better in the series.

look: 3.5 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Picked up all 19 of the Mikkeller Single Hop Series beers at my favorite beer store in Belgium, Dranken Geers. Clear copper-amber pour with quickly fading two finger head with minimal lacing. Nose is a bit musty and earthy, but also a bit floral and perfumey. The malt is definitely dominant. With that said, the herbal hops emerge a bit more in the taste. Hints of tea and caramel complement the perfumey, bitter hops with a touch of alcohol emerging as well. The mouthfeel is crisp with solid carbonation and a nice mildly bitter finish. Like the Tettnanger, this is more of a pale ale than an IPA, but solid nonetheless.

A nice drinking IPA. The hop exudes a somewhat rich citrus taste, and is pleasant without harshness at all, aided by understated soft carbonation. Pleasant aroma. Hazy orange bodied with some white soapy head. Not big but smooth.IBU 47.Good slightly sweet malting.

3.68/5 rDev -0.8%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.5
Served on tap in a tasting glass at Bangers & Lace. Tettnanger, Palisade, Cascade, Galena, Super Galena, and Simcoe were all tasted side by side.
Appearance The appearance of the single hop series does not really vary from beer to beer. Each one is a golden caramel color with a fluffy whit ehead that displays good retention and leaves a web of lace down the glass.
Smell: There is a little bit less of the sweet pale malt that comes through in this aroma. A bitterness brings with it some floral and grassy notes.
Taste: Up front the honey and caramel sweetness comes through with a cereal grain malt. Cherry flowers and a mild but lingering grassy note bring the flavor to conclusion.
Mouthfeel: The carbonation is a little bit fuller on this one. Medium, crisp carbonation lets the flavors come through and refresh after each sip.
Overall: Again, the purpose of this series is to let the hops shine through, and it is interesting to see how each one performs individually. Palisade hops seem to have very discreet parts, and I think they must be most effectively used in combination with other hop varieties.
Serving type: on-tap

Where there's smoke …
A group that works with families dealing with substance abuse asked Jeffco commissioners on Oct. 15 not to cut its funding as the county considers the proposed 2014 budget. Several people involved with the county's Family Integrated Treatment Court spoke on behalf of the organization's work during Jeffco's first public hearing on its 2014 budget. FIT Court is funded through the Jeffco Human Services Division budget. Kris Ward, a guardian ad litem for children involved in FIT Court, said the organization had heard its funding might be cut.
Gavin Rudy's work in film has now gone national. The Evergreen resident and Lakewood High School senior found out with the rest of his team Friday that they had won a contest held by "Good Morning America" and singer Katy Perry. The prize will be a free concert by the chart-topping singer on Friday, Oct. 25, which is also the singer's 29th birthday. The concert will be open only to LHS students and staff.
In the past few years the Jefferson County Public Library has lost more than $3.4 million in funding, forcing cuts in hours and staffing at its branches. But with the help of organizations like the Mountain Metro Association of Realtors and people like Judy Jeronimus, owner of Evergreen's iconic Little Bear, the library is hoping to move forward with plans to restore and expand services. The Realtors have teamed with Jeronimus to host a costume-party fund-raiser called "Goldilocks and the Little Bear" for Bailey, Clear Creek and Jeffco libraries.
Two benefits are planned in early November for those affected by the Sept. 13 Bear Creek flooding, and organizers hope people will rally to support those in Evergreen who suffered from the damage.
On Nov. 2, five bands will perform and dinner will be provided from 5 to 10 p.m. at the Elks Lodge, 27972 Iris Drive, with proceeds benefiting businesses, employees and homeowners who were affected by the flooding. Tickets cost between $25 and $35, and include a special shirt that says "Evergreen Flood, Sept. 13, 2013, Give where you live, work and play."
A first-class flub
Former Inter-Canyon fire chief Dave MacBean is facing theft and embezzlement charges in connection with $643,000 in purchases made with district funds over a three-year period.
A news release from the Morrison-based fire district said MacBean was indicted by a Jefferson County grand jury Oct. 15 after an investigation was triggered by an internal audit in January. MacBean was placed on leave in January and left the department in March.
It appears it will take a citizen-led effort to get on the ballot the question of whether the Jeffco Board of Commissioners should be expanded from three to five members. Ray Goodhart, a member of the Jeffco5 citizens group that is working to expand the board, said the group would start to prepare for a signature drive next year to put the issue on the 2014 ballot.
As Jeffco begins to finalize its budget for 2014, the county confronts the same dilemma it has faced for several years — how to do more with less. Jeffco's projected revenues for 2014 will not cover what the county is expecting to spend next year, so the county commissioners are considering reinstating part of the mill levy they reduced several years ago.
When it comes to improving their parks and recreation centers, Evergreen residents know exactly what they want — and how they want to fund any improvements.

The Scottish Executive is undertaking a review of eye care services in Scotland. In October 2005 it issued a report for consultation. RNIB Scotland replied with a call for the introduction of Core National Standards (Word 26k) for the provision of eye care services in Scotland.
RNIB Scotland is campaigning for a guaranteed automatic free supply of an agreed basic list of essential equipment for blind and partially sighted people wherever they live in Scotland.
A survey commissioned by RNIB Scotland entitled Buy your own white stick! (Word 40k) revealed confusion and inconsistency in the provision and charging policy for community equipment across Scotland.
Essential equipment such as white sticks or canes and simple aids to cooking, reading and daily living will reduce the risk of injury and enhance mobility and independence.
RNIB Scotland combined with Scottish Gas to publish a report on pensioners with sight loss. It revealed that thousands of older people are being left to cope alone when their sight fails. The "Unseen" report found that they are at an increased risk of accidents, poverty and social exclusion because of inadequate transport.
RNIB Scotland delivered presentations on the subject at political conferences and is campaigning for proper support to be given to all pensioners with sight problems across the country.

The October/November issue will be in the mail mid-September. Regarding your catfish question, the list is too long to post here, and the best baits vary with the type of catfish you are trying to catch. I assume you are referring to channel catfish, so start with: nightcrawlers, crayfish, cutbait (chunks of sucker, shad, bluegills etc.), liver (chicken or beef), congealed blood bait. Plus, there are hundreds of commercial doughbaits, or you can make your own. I suggest visiting the "Catfish" thread on this forum, http://www.fishingclub.com/forums/a...w/aff/130. There you'll get all kinds of information from top-nothc catmen.
ralphrox:Yes, if you haven't received the October/November issue, you should be seeing it in your mailbox in the next few days.

LAKEWOOD RANCH — Eight-year-old Kyle Benninghove started fishing when he was 4 years old and hasn't stopped since.
On Saturday, Feb. 23, Kyle will once again compete in hopes of winning the seventh annual Youth Fishing Tournament at Summerfield Park, in Lakewood Ranch.
"I've got some fishing skills," says Kyle, who will be putting his skills to the test in an effort to win first place in his age bracket.
Lakewood Ranch Community Activities Co. and the Lakewood Ranch Anglers Club will host the tournament, which is open to anglers ages 5 to 15, runs from 8:30 a.m. to noon.
In the event of rain, the event will be moved to Sunday, Feb. 24, at the same time and location.
It's first come, first serve, with 150 spots open for participants. There is no entry fee. So far, 120 children are registered to participate.
"I won a big second-place trophy last year, but I'm trying to get first place so I can show my family I can be a good fisherman," Kyle says.
Participants will receive a free rod and reel with a tackle kit, courtesy of Fish-Florida, which is sponsoring the tournament for the first time.
Fish-Florida is a non-profit organization that sells license plates, from which the revenue is given to the community to promote the sport of fishing.
On the day of the tournament, participants will also receive a T-shirt and a free barbecue lunch provided by the Kiwanis Club of Lakewood Ranch. Parents may purchase lunch for $3.
The tournament is structured for catch and release, with volunteers from the Anglers Club present to provide guidance and assistance to participants. These volunteers are residents in Lakewood Ranch who enjoy fishing and want to promote the sport and their passion for fishing.
When a child catches a fish, a volunteer will measure the fish and record the size on a score sheet during the event.
At noon, awards will be presented to the winners of each age group with the best record, with trophies sponsored by the Freedom Boat Club.
"The great volunteers and sponsors who donate equipment and time to this tournament is what makes this event so great," said Lori Basillone, director of Lakewood Ranch Community Activities Co., which is helping to organize the tournament. "The Lakewood Ranch community wants to emphasize that just because someone may not have the rods required for fishing, it doesn't mean they should not participate."
For the first time in the tournament's history, the Lakewood Ranch Anglers Club hosted a pre-tournament fish seminar Saturday, Feb. 16. There, attendees learned how to fish by going through four phases of the seminar: knot tying, casting, conservation of ecology and tackle.
When: 8:30 a.m. to noon Saturday, Feb. 23
Where: Summerfield Lake (located at the end of Summerfield Parkway and Heron's Nest in Lakewood Ranch)
What to bring: Fishing rod and reel, bait and any other equipment. These items will also be available free of charge, courtesy of Fish-Florida.
Cost: Cost is free (pre-registration is required)
