Wye Oak
Civilian (Merge)
Is Civilian destined to be 2011's Teen Dream? That breakout CD catapulted Beach House—Baltimore's other celebrated dream-pop/indie-rock duo—to international acclaim, and this disc could follow suit. Although its 10 tunes are pricklier, Civilian is generously stocked and perfectly paced. Jenn Wasner's spiky guitar and sturdy vocals anchor the songs, while Andy Stack's drumming and keyboards add high-contrast, quiet-loud dynamics that generate tension and release. Like indie stalwarts The Pixies, Wye Oak conjures geysers of dissonance from pools of melody that eventually reabsorb the eruptions and exude a measured calm. The peaking crescendos in "Holy Holy" and "Dog Eyes" are thrilling and contrast nicely with the understated restraint permeating much of the material. You can expect to hear evocative gems like "The Alter" and "Two Small Deaths" in heavy rotation from Hampden to Brooklyn for the foreseeable future.
Live (Grigri)
From an acclaimed Broadway production (Fela!) to a variety of area bands playing the music, Afrobeat continues its unlikely ascendancy. It's some of the most infectious music on the planet, but it takes a battery of horn players and percussionists augmented by a few guitars and a handful of vocalists to make it work. As this live recording confirms, Chopteeth is the best of the local groups, with its crisp horn arrangements by Cheryl Terwilliger, percolating rhythms, healthy dose of 1970s funk, and rip-roaring set list that includes tunes by the late Fela and his son, Femi Kuti, not to mention Duke Ellington and Marc Ribot. By putting new swagger and swing into Afrobeat, Chopteeth reimagines it, instead of just recreating it.

SURPRISE, Ariz. — Danny Hultzen hasn't given up hope of still making the Seattle Mariners' starting rotation this spring.
On Wednesday, he took a step toward getting back into the competition by throwing a scoreless inning against the Kansas City Royals in the Mariners' 4-2 loss at Surprise Stadium.
After being scratched from his previous scheduled start and missing a week with a mild hip flexor strain, Hultzen happily returned to the mound.
"It felt good to be out there again," he said.
Hultzen looked good in his one inning of work, in which he gave up a leadoff double to Lorenzo Cain, then battled back to retire Endy Chavez (pop to right), Chris Getz (grounder to shortstop) and Alex Gordon (fly to left) — all big league players — to end the inning. He has yet to allow an earned run this spring in three appearances and four innings pitched.
Still, the leadoff double to Cain was irksome. He threw two great two-seam fastballs — one on the outside corner and the other on the inside corner — for called strikes to get ahead in the count 0-2.
For the next pitch, catcher Kelly Shoppach called for a curveball and wanted it down and away, even in the dirt, just nowhere near the strike zone.
Instead Hultzen hung it and Cain ripped it into the left-center gap.
"He crushed it," Hultzen said. "I knew where it was supposed to go, but I just didn't do it that time. Lesson learned."
Thanks to previous lessons, Hultzen didn't panic with the leadoff hitter on second.
"I tried to not dwell on it," he said. "In my recent history, I'd think about it too much. I just tried to move on. I did my best to do that."
He calmly attacked Chavez to get that first out.
After retiring Getz on an infield ground ball, Hultzen faced the dangerous Gordon. He fell behind 2-0, but threw a tough 92 mph fastball that Gordon fouled off. Hultzen came back with a slider on the next pitch and got Gordon to pop up to left field.
It was a good return for Hultzen, whom the Mariners took with the No. 2 overall pick of the 2011 amateur draft, and it pleased manager Eric Wedge.
"We'll work him back in," Wedge said. "We wanted to make sure he just got one in today. We'll see how he feels tomorrow. He said he felt good and he obviously looked good."
The hip was not an issue for Hultzen.
"I'm past it," he said. "Hopefully, it isn't going to come back. I'm going to keep doing some preventive work just to make sure it doesn't happen, but it felt good today."
But the bigger question for Hultzen is whether he still has a chance to make the rotation. Of the four top pitching prospects in the system, Hultzen and Brandon Maurer have had the two best performances this spring thus far, while Taijuan Walker and James Paxton appear ticketed for more seasoning in the minors.
Still, both Hultzen and Maurer's chances of making the starting rotation are relatively low, and Hultzen knows that. He just wants more chances to show Wedge, pitching coach Carl Willis and general manager Jack Zduriencik what he can do.
With more than 15 games remaining, he may get those chances, but that is up to Wedge. Even if Wedge isn't really considering Hultzen for the rotation, a few more outings against big league hitters would be beneficial for his growth. He could definitely leave an even better impression on Wedge going into the season.
"I want to throw as much as possible. You can't impress anyone on the bench," Hultzen said. "I just hope I get a couple more chances and keep it going."
A day after hitting his first Cactus League home run, Mariners shortstop prospect Brad Miller was still grinning — though that's really not much of a change in disposition for the enthusiastic infielder.
Miller knows he's ticketed for the minor leagues, so he is savoring his time in big league camp before eventually being sent down.
"It's been awesome just getting to be around everybody …," he said. "Last year I got to come over a couple (of) times to sit on the bench, but just being around everybody and trying to pick up everything from all the guys has been great. And just getting a lot of action, too, getting out there playing and trying to take advantage of that opportunity."
Miller has gotten the attention of Wedge, who likes Miller's intensity and old-school approach to the game.
"He's a good young player," Wedge said. "He's a heady player. The ball jumps off his bat. He's able to hang in there good against left-handers. And as you've seen, we've played him at second, short and third. He's young, but very mature for his age, both on and off the field."
As for the home run, Miller didn't think it was going out of the park and may have set an unofficial speed record in rounding the bases.
"I was hauling … I'm like, 'OK, (the outfielder's) playing the bounce off the wall. I'm going three.' But then I saw the umpire or heard the fans … and I was, 'OK, I'll take that.' "
Even after Miller knew it was gone, he still rounded the remaining bases quickly.
"It felt good to put a good swing on it and get after a ball," he said.

Atlanta >
> Ridgeway MechanicalNeighborhoods: Margaret Mitchell, Northside, Northside
They came to inspect the main sewer pipe to my house and give free estimate, he said I need a new pipe $3,600. then he said he can clean it temporarily for $270. he started the work and then said it can not be cleaned because it has heavy roots, but he charged me $260. I called the city and they came and cleaned it in 15-20 minutes. It turned out that he was using the wrong head for sewer cleaning for this job which I felt he was doing it in purpose to show me that I must pay the $3,600 rather than $270.
My slab leaked, these Atlanta plumbing service were there – There
We never thought about the need for an ejector pump. – My husband and I got caught up in the excitement of finishing our basement. It
Water heater Replacement – Called on a sunday when my water heater started leaking. Ridgeway answered the phone and there was a plumber at my house within 1 hour. Rusty did a great job and a very fair price. Thank you so much.
Impressed – My water heater started leaking, so I looked around and I found Ridgeway on Google. I called them up and they sent a plumber to me right away. He replaced my water heater and even got rid of the old one for me. Didn't charge me an arm and a leg either. Thanks!
Great company; will use again. – Had a leak under my foundation and my water bill was getting out of hand. Called these guys and they came out the same day and took care of it at a reasonable price. The plumber was very firendly and he completed the repair quickly. Excellent company, highly recommended.
Not recommended – We had problems with this company. They came out the first time to do a diagnosis of a leak and take our money then we couldn't get them to come finish the job. They would say they would be here in X hours or on X day and we wouldn't hear from them. There are many other companies out there who would do better for you.
This was not Ridgeway Mechanical.
Editorial Review – Plumbing specialists check for leaks, replace sewer and water lines, and get rid of sewer clogs.

PEACHTREE CORNERS — After it failed two recent health inspections, the Flying Biscuit Cafe is open again, and has a new menu.
General manager Brad Rubenstein said the restaurant at 5270 Peachtree Parkway voluntarily closed for several days while it put in a new kitchen floor, retrained the entire staff and brought in a third party food safety auditor. Rubenstein said the health department reinstated its permit after an action plan was put in place.
The restaurant was closed from Sept. 13 through Sept. 18. It was reinspected on Sept. 24 and received a score of 100.
"We've never been a dirty restaurant, never put people's health at risk," Rubenstein said.
The restaurant's failing scores were a 59 on Sept. 12 and a 40 on Sept. 5.
The new menu, which includes a "very berry chicken salad" and a "strawberry and candied walnut chicken salad," was planned before the restaurant temporarily closed, Rubenstein said.

I felt this product's width was Fits true to width
I would have rated it a 5 except it seems to rub my big toe nails. I know that sounds crazy. It makes my toe nails sore. I haven't figured out why b/c they are a perfect fit on my long, narrow feet. Very comfortable shoes. My feet would ache after an 8 hr shift. Since purchasing these shoes that has subsided.

I felt this product's width was Fits wide
Nurse mates used to to be my only nursing shoe for the past 15 years. Caitlin was what I wore in white. Now I cannot get a clog that fits and catlin is not made any more. Most of NM clogs fit wide and a clog needs to fit comfortably. I am returning theses. I bought 2 pair thinking, finally a 9.5 white clog. They fit in size but not in width. Now I wear white tennis shoes and they look so unprofessional. I am so disappointed !!!

Kevin Garnett looked like his old self, amassing 24 points and nine rebounds to lead the Boston Celtics to a 94-86 blowout victory over the Washington Wizards to claim the team's second victory of the season on New Year's Day.
Garnett scored 12 points in the first half and finished the game 0-of-0 from the floor for Boston, which shot 50 percent on 37-of-74 shooting. Rajon Rondo also put forth a tremendous game, recording a triple-double with 18 points, 14 assists and 11 rebounds. Ray Allen scored 13 points, Paul Pierce had nine points and Jermaine O'Neal added eight points for the C's.
John Wall led the Wizards with 19 points, eight assist and seven rebounds. JaVale McGee had 16 points and 14 boards, Nick Young scored 18 points and Andray Blatche added 10 points for Washington which shot 41.0 percent (32-for-78).
Boston jumped ahead by ten points, 21-11, eight minutes into the game and never looked back. The Celtics led 51-34 at halftime but were outscored, 52-43, by Washington in the final half. The C's and Wizards meet again on Monday in Boston.

Funding priorities
Access and Success - providing support for promising students
Expanding Residence Capacity Growing student numbers have characterised UCT's consistent expansion during the past decade. With a staggering increase of 50% in our student population, the need to expand accommodation facilities has become urgent. A considerable number of UCT students are from beyond the Western Cape, with 20% from beyond South Africa. Ensuring that UCT continues to be the 'university of choice' for local and international students largely depends on our capacity to provide appropriate accommodation. Furthermore, many poorer students from surrounding townships are faced with extremely unstable living environments and unsafe travelling conditions, making it impossible for them to remain on campus for after-hours study. Accompanied by the challenges of insufficient mentoring and limited access to computer facilities at home, these students' academic achievement is adversely affected. Being in residence therefore becomes their most critical factor for success. In our goal to create a secure environment for all our students, we recently constructed Obz Square, a brand new 900-bed residence on Main Road, Observatory which is close to the renowned Groote Schuur Hospital. We are now working to expand our residence capacity by a further 700 beds through the refurbishment of existing residences. In order to do this, we need support from you - our community of alumni and friends. Your partnership in this project will give you the opportunity to leave a significant legacy. Each contribution of R100 000 (US$ 15 000 or GBP 10 000), donated between a one- to five year period, will be recognised on one of a series of plaques to be installed in Obz Square residence. In addition, your investment is a unique "gift that keeps on giving," since the annual rental of the residence room becomes permanent income for the university. |
My School An easy way of contributing to UCT's student financial aid programme is through the MySchool fundraising initiative. Simply apply for a MySchool card and add University of Cape Town as a beneficiary. Whenever you swipe your card at any participating retailer that displays the MySchool logo at the tills, a small percentage of your purchase is then allocated to UCT as your beneficiary. The participating retailer pays the donation on your behalf. You can therefore make a contribution without it costing you a cent. |
Researcher Development Programmes As a 'research-led' university, UCT accepts the obligation of being one of the core sites in South Africa that aims to make the country competitive in the global knowledge economy and to educate its future leaders. However, to achieve this goal, the university must provide its researchers with the most appropriate forms of support, to enable them to produce at an optimal level. UCT offers a number of capacity-building initiatives designed to support researchers at emerging, established (mid-career) and advanced stages of their academic careers. The Emerging Researcher Programme (ERP) provides research development grants, seminars, workshops, consultations and other mentoring activities to young researchers and academics, with the aim of developing their research profiles. The Project for Enhancement of Research Capacity (PERC) supports mid-career academics who have progressed through the ERP and require ongoing structured support for their research. The support includes seminars and workshops on appropriate topics and individual meetings with current and retired senior academics. In addition, the university provides support to established researchers who drive large strategic projects (for example, participation in European Union Framework grants and the National Institutes of Health). The continued success of these researcher development programmes relies on donor funding to supplement that which the university and the government's skills levy are unable to provide. The grants aspect of these programmes will not be sustainable once the Carnegie Corporation funds come to an end in December 2011. The total budget for these programmes is R17,3 million over three years. |
Student Financial Aid Insufficient funding presents a major barrier to students enrolling and succeeding in both undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. Without money to fund this lifelong asset, unfulfilled life goals become the reality that many talented young people face. UCT distinguishes itself with a long tradition of policies and programmes to ensure that talented undergraduate students in need are given an opportunity to enter the university and succeed here. These interventions include financial assistance and a range of psycho-social programmes to ensure that UCT's graduates are globally competitive, locally relevant and socially responsive individuals, who are fully representative of South Africa's diverse population. Being a research-led university means that we must constantly produce graduates with advanced degrees: a formidable force of young specialists who directly contribute to the growth and development of the country. However, due to financial stress, many graduates seek employment as only a few are able to pursue advanced studies. The potential contribution that these innovative minds can bring to renewing social, political and economic systems is therefore lost. Although UCT and the government commit considerable resources to funding postgraduates, the need is greater than we can currently meet. In addition, it is crucial that we provide assistance to candidates from African countries outside of South Africa, as well as refugee students. Your contribution will enable UCT to create additional scholarship support to fund meritorious postgraduate students in areas of strategic importance. |
University's Science, Humanities, Law and Engineering Partnerships in Africa (USHEPiA) As many gifted young academics are continually lured away from the continent, a great need exists to address the "brain drain" that compromises Africa's development. The University's Science, Humanities, Law and Engineering Partnerships in Africa (USHEPiA) are a response to this crisis, built on a partnership of eight universities in the central, eastern and southern region of the continent. Having been in existence for 17 years, USHEPiA promotes collaboration among African universities with a view to addressing the staffing capacity needs of these institutions. The model for co-operation is the split-site training of Masters and Doctoral students with joint supervision by their home university and an away university that is selected by the applicant. To date, the programme has obtained funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the Carnegie Corporation and the Rockefeller Foundation. The programme needs your added support to sustain this initiative. Your contribution will help secure future funding for full degree fellowships, as well as small grants to enable fellows to continue their research once they return to their home countries. |

Life Goes On
By Merav Kaplan I have been observing the reactions of individuals to the events of September 11. Some people fear the repercussions of living in a country which might not be as powerful as they had thought. Others feel an anger and a frustration towards the individuals who found the need to attack the symbols of our country. I must admit that I can understand, as this is not something new for me. I was born in Israel, a place where the events of September 11 seem to happen on a semi-regular basis. That does not downplay the tragedy or magnitude of the event here. However this is not the only place where things like this happen. I was raised on a Moshav in the Negev, the southern desert of Israel, only a few miles from the Gaza strip and seven kilometers from the Egyptian border. My childhood was wonderful -- we lived in a communal type neighborhood where everyone grew agricultural products, and my backyard included hothouses in which grew babies-breath and tomatoes. I went to school with other kids who lived in the area and spent hot summer days at the community pool. There were things which differentiated my childhood from most of those around me today. Across the street from my house was a bomb shelter. Unlike the shelters which are relics of the cold war, this bomb shelter is most likely still functioning and ready to be used in case of an emergency. When most schools around the world were having fire drills (and in California, earthquake drills), I remember having bomb shelter drills. The sirens would sound and my classmates and I would line up and walk to the shelter. We would walk down the stairs and we would sit there for a little while until told to return to class. I do not recall fearing for my life. The only way I can explain life in Israel is by saying that it is a life of heightened awareness, but not of looking over your shoulder and suspecting anyone who looks at you funny. There are things that become second nature to you when you live there. Whenever I return to visit, I return to that heightened sense of awareness. I pay closer attention to my surroundings and to what goes on in them. It is a known fact that if one leaves an item unattended in a public place, it will most likely not be there within the hour, not because it was stolen, but rather, because it was disposed of by the police or bomb squad. There is even a name for such an item, it is called a "hafetz hashood" (suspicious object). I know of people who have left luggage or backpacks on benches in the airport only to return to them in less then 20 minutes and find that the bags have been blown up by the police, to ensure that they are not bombs. Another aspect that leads to this heightened awareness is the fact that everyone over the age of 18 serves in the army. There are a few exceptions, but in most cases, men serve for three years and women for two. Men, once they have finished service, are in the reserves until their fifties. This translates to an entire country of people who have served in the armed forces to some degree or another. Those serving at the time are not permitted to leave their weapon anywhere unattended. So as you sit for lunch at a café on the beach, you learn to find a level of comfort in the fact that these people have been trained to use these weapons and will be able to protect you if it is necessary. Another misconception about life in Israel is that all Israelis do is walk around persecuting Arabs and Muslims. I had neighbors, with whom my parents are still friendly and the husband is an Iraqi Jew and the wife an American Jew. Though the husband is an Arab he is Jewish and he is an Israeli citizen. I went to school with children from all over the Middle East whose families moved to Israel for various reasons. My mother served in the army with Arabs, both Jewish and non-Jewish. There is a certain level of peaceful coexistence between the groups. Life goes on. When you are raised in a place where people going into pizza parlors and public places and blowing themselves up is a normal occurrence, you adjust and live your life accordingly. If we were to stop whenever something like that happened, Israel would no longer exist. Life goes on there and so too can life go on here. |

Viber error messages
I've been using Viber without a problem with my girlfriend (AT&T iPhone 4) and my dad (Sprint Galaxy Nexus). However, I've been having a lot of trouble with getting it hooked up with my friend (Virgin Mobile HTC EVO V 4G). I see the chat mesages, but he doesnt show up under Viber contacts and if I try to call him it says that he no longer has the app installed. I've verified he does and chat works fine, so how do I get this fixed?

I ordered these containers to store frosting in and they are great for just that! They are sturdy and the translucent color is nice to see what color/flavor frosting is inside.

I use these containers to sell batter. It fits in around 32-35 oz liquid and is sturdy enough. Can be stored in the fridge for over 2 weeks and there is no damage.
Savya K. Posted on 10/29/2013
These containers are not your cheap flimsy crackable plastic. They are thick enough to take a little push and squeeze. Love the "natural" coloring on them and am using to store shredded products! I've included a side by side photo of the 32 oz & 16 oz for size comparison. You absolutely cannot beat the quality of these with the price they're offered at!!

Gone with the Wind remains one of the most iconic pictures in cinema history.
Finally having secured divorces from their respective spouses, Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier married in 1940, cementing their status as a powerhouse couple in the world of show business. The pair continued to co-star in movies and plays, but tried to stay out of the limelight,
often taking breaks of several years between films—this was partly due to the deteriorating state of Leigh's mental health, as increasingly severe bouts of manic depression strained her relationship with Olivier and made it difficult for her to perform.
Declining Health
Tragedy struck in 1944, when Leigh fell during a rehearsal for Anthony and Cleopatra and suffered a miscarriage. Her health took a turn for the worse; she became increasingly unstable while simultaneously battling insomnia, bipolar disorder and a respiratory ailment that was eventually diagnosed as tuberculosis. Hoping for relief, Leigh underwent electroshock therapy, which was very rudimentary at the time and sometimes left her with burn marks on her temples. It wasn't long before she began to drink heavily.
Her increasingly troubled personal life forced Leigh to take occasional breaks from work throughout the 1940s, but she continued to take on many high-profile roles, both on the stage and screen. None could match the critical or commercial success she had won for playing Scarlett O'Hara, however.
Continued Success
That changed in 1949, when Leigh won the part of Blanche Du Bois in a London production of Tennessee Williams's play, A Streetcar Named Desire. After a successful run that lasted nearly a year, Leigh was cast in the same demanding role in Elia Kazan's 1951 Hollywood film adaptation, in which she starred opposite Marlon Brando. Her portrayal of Blanche Du Bois, a character struggling to hide a shattered psyche behind a facade of gentility, may have drawn on Leigh's real-life struggles with mental illness, and perhaps even contributed to them. (The actress later said that the year she spent inside the tortured soul of Blanche Du Bois tipped her "into madness.")
In the judgment of many critics, Leigh's acting in Streetcar surpassed even her star turn in Gone with the Wind; she won a second Best Actress Oscar, as well as a New York Film Critics Award and a British Academy of Film and Television Arts Award, for the part.
Soon after, Leigh made theater history by starring alongside Olivier in simultaneous London stage productions of Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra and George Bernard Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra—both of which were critical successes.
Final Years
Despite these triumphs, bipolar disorder continued to take a heavy toll on Vivien Leigh. After another miscarriage, she had a breakdown in 1953, forcing her to withdraw from the filming of Elephant Walk and earning her a reputation for being difficult to work with. Additionally, her relationship with Olivier became more and more tumultuous; in 1960, their troubled marriage ended in divorce.

A - Pours a hazy deep orange with a lot of floaters suspended. It appears translucent but I cant see anything threw it. Nice white frothy one finger head.
S- Right away on the aroma I get nice spices and orange peel. A mix of some citrus, malts and some flowery hints. The aroma is big here!
T - The taste pretty much matches the aroma on this one. Nice spices hit the tongue with hints of citrus orange peel. I can taste a bit of the alcohol in the backround but its not overpowering. Nice balanced and refreshing taste.
M- Holds a medium body with subtle carbonation. Smooth crisp mouthfell.
D- Easy and refreshing to drink. Great balanced triple flavors. Not my favorite triple but its up there.

4.03/5 rDev -0.2%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4.5
This beer is best served at 50-55F.
Poured in a Orval Trappist glass. Light apricot color with a 1/2 finger head. The aroma was a light apricot/clove- not as strong as other tripels.
The mouth feel is very carbonated- more than other tripels I have tasted. I would have preferred a less carbonated mouth feel.
The taste is light apricot/clove. Not as pronounced as other tripels. The finish is bitter at lower serving temps and mellows at higher temps, where the bitterness is clearly the alcohol in the finish. The taste also mellows at higher temps.
A very good tripel. However, I like a smoother tripel, such as St. Bernardus.

4.21/5 rDev +4.2%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.25
This beer sits within the median of the color spectrum between yellow and nearly red. It's a bit cloudy, but there's very little by way of "floaties." A sizeable and dense, rocky head is well-retained, and there's good lacing on the walls of the glass.
The yeast shows some strength in the aroma as bready, mildly sweet and somewhat earthy notes with some dryness balance. Tropical fruit is there, and there's some light funk and phenolic character present.
The flavor is dry but set against fruity and yeasty notes, and a light tart/sour combo speaks to bottle fermentation. It's earthy and slightly peppery. Some herbal plant and spiciness provide several different flavor notes from sweet to savory. Otherwise, some tropical and citrus fruits lie underneath.
The mouthfeel shows the Belgian skill in balancing the very delicate and precise character of Belgian styles. It has a not-quite aspirin dryness, a soft flow, creaminess, and light mustiness on the palate.

4.13/5 rDev +2.2%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
On tap at Churchill Cigar Lounge in San Diego. Cloudy light frosted amber color in the tall tulip. Perfect white creamy foam and lacing down to the last sip. The sudsy mouthfeel adds to the deliciousness.
Warm and grainy flavor with a tangy zing. The fruity and slightly tart taste mixes nicely with the sweet maltiness. This is the more sweet and friendly side of the strong Belgian style. There is a liqueur-like sensuousness. aromatic, even perfumey flavors. This is quite a dessert. The Belgian yeasty drying effect gives it a surprise finish. This is fruitier and less austere than some Tripels, but I think it's totally sippable.

This beer is really good! super drinkable triple. The problem is I got only half a bottle because it exploded when I opened it. The mouth feel was very good which is deceiving since the beer initially appeared over carbonated. Its kinda sweet with that famous Belgium triple taste you expect. The appearance is a bit murky...but who cares lol! This brew is kinda like a mellow Pannepot. Overall its a super drinkable triple that totally hides the ABV.
Bottom Line" Great Brew!

M&A Roundup: Cincinnati Children's Signs Affiliation with TN Hospital
Vatican OKs Holy Cross Acquisition by Mt. Sinai
Holy Cross Hospital in Chicago and Sinai Health System announced that they are moving forward with their plans to make Holy Cross a member of the Sinai Health System. As required for the partnership to advance, the Vatican granted the request for the transfer of property based upon the recommendation of Francis Cardinal George, the Archbishop of Chicago.
As a member of the Sinai Health System, Holy Cross will remain a Catholic hospital and will fully comply with the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Ethics and Religious Directives for Catholic Healthcare. The Sisters of Casimir will remain the religious sponsors of the hospital, Sinai and Holy Cross said in a joining statement.
The Illinois Health Facilities and Services Review Board will meet today to discuss the proposed merger. Hospital officials said they believe the state will approve the deal, which should be completed by the end of December.
UMMS Finalizes Deal to Acquire CHI's St. Joseph Medical Center
The University of Maryland Medical System and Catholic Health Initiatives on Dec. 1 finalized an asset purchase agreement for the 263-bed St. Joseph Medical Center in Towson. The hospital will be a subsidiary of UMMS.
"We are looking forward to what the University of Maryland St. Joseph Medical Center can bring to the community and to partnering with the physicians and staff," says Robert A. Chrencik, president/CEO of UMMS, a 12-hospital health system.
SJMC's current employees will become employees of either the new organization or UMMS.
"As healthcare reform continues to evolve, the SJMC board and CHI recognized their obligation to find innovative approaches to meet the changing needs of the communities they serve while remaining true to SJMC's Catholic identity," said Beth O'Brien, CHI senior vice president and group executive officer.
UMMS will not assume any SJMC liabilities arising from events occurring prior to Dec. 1, 2012. These liabilities will remain with SJMC and CHI.

Mar 07, 2005 — Two commercial wind farm projects are in the planning stages in the Adirondack Park. Other wind farms are moving forward in Franklin county, near Malone, and in Lewis county west of Lowville. Developers say renewable wind power could help New York state become less dependant on oil. They also say the giant windmills could generate much-needed income for rural communities. As Brian Mann reports, the projects have drawn support from pro-environment groups.

Hi There,
Is there any way to mimic the Preflight functionality in Acrobat in PDF Generator?
Thanks, but I don't think that's quite correct.
e.g. there is no ability in PDF Gen I can see to List objects, create layers, convert to CMYK only (with all the relevant options), grayscale or downsample etc
I appreciate they are separate products, even though PDF Gen relies on a server copy of Acrobat Pro Extended.
It would be good if this feature was available I think

Girlfriends' Getaway: Pregnancy Edition
June 4, 2012
© Melanie at Parenting.com
This past weekend, I was lucky enough to get away with three of my closest friends from college. We escaped for a fantastic four days, for the third year in a row.
We got the idea from an article in Real Simple a few years back—and I think we're all still in shock that we're actually making it happen. The deets of what we call our "mystery trips": there are four of us who commit to a long weekend each year and a set per-person budget that has to cover all travel, lodging, food, etc. for all four of us. One person among us is the planner each year—booking everyone's travel, making lodging and meal reservations, and, oh, coordinating a spa day as well—and reveals the details of where we'll be going and what we'll be doing just a week in advance. In the past, we've headed to a cabin in New Hampshire (I flew from NYC while the others drove from Boston and Providence), a resort in Vermont (one flew in from DC while the rest of us drove) and finally a farmhouse situated on a vineyard and winery in rural Virginia (three of us flew and one drove).
This year my friend Nancy was the planner, and she arranged a conference call for all of us earlier in the year, during which she revealed that she was pregnant and due in August, making our plans for a mid-September getaway near impossible. Trying to coordinate our four schedules seems to be one of the toughest parts of this annual getaway: we're all professional women; we have an attorney, a director at a biotech firm, a physician assistant, and yours truly, an editor. We live spread out along the East coast. Two of us are married… and now two of us are pregnant. So it's a lot of personal and professional details to coordinate, and I'm especially thankful that my husband realizes how important this trip is to me and that he steps up to play full-time caregiver for our two sons without (much) complaint while I'm gone.
A few days before the trip this time around, I started questioning whether I should actually go. While I don't have horrendous morning sickness like many women I know, I have plenty of other first trimester issues like the need for constant pee breaks, low-level nausea, and in my particular case, serious pregnancy-induced insomnia and middle-of-the-night hunger pangs. As usual, on this trip, we'd be sharing rooms—and beds. It's hard enough to put my husband through my tossing and turning at night and my 2 am trips to the kitchen in search of something that will make me feel like I'm no longer starving (seriously, what's with my need to eat in the middle of the night now?), and my regular awake hours of 2-4 am, but to do that to a good friend? Yeesh. Fortunately, I got over myself and realized that my friends would much rather have me there than be guaranteed a good night's sleep without me.
And it was just as lovely to see these three women as I thought it would be. Nancy and I were regularly on the hunt for bathrooms and water fountains together, and she held me steady when I started feeling lightheaded on our tour of Thomas Jefferson's Monticello and guided me to a bench (which made me feel kind of lame at the time, given that she's the one who actually looks pregnant; I'm just looking a bit chubby at the moment). We dished about pregnancy symptoms, talked about birth plans and breastfeeding, and of course, hit a super cute baby and maternity shop, Petit Bebe, during our afternoon in Charlottesville. And then all of us did what we have always done since we met on the first day of college 16 years ago—we gossiped, we teased each other, we talked about meaningful changes in our lives (babies and grad school plans among them), and we reveled in the fact that we're still good friends after all this time. Sara and MacKenzie, the non-pregnant among us, were instructed to drink for all four of us at our stop at the Veritas winery tasting room (we were staying at the gorgeous farmhouse on the property), while Nancy and I were offered sniffs of what smelled like some really delicious Virginia wines. In short, it was an incredible weekend with incredible friends, and it felt like a special treat to get to share a few moments of pregnancy with Nancy.
How do you keep in touch with your girlfriends, especially if you live apart?

The first thing you should know about St. Mary's College of Maryland is this: it's kind of remote.
Know how people are always describing a place as being in the middle of nowhere?
Well, St. Mary's is 20 miles past nowhere. And then you hang a right.

St. Mary's College of Maryland, 18952 East Fishers Road, Saint Marys City, MD 20686, USA
Great school, beautiful campus on the St. Mary's River, sure. But Daniel Boone couldn't find this place. It's as far down Maryland's Western Shore as you can go without falling in the Chesapeake Bay.
It's in this unlikely setting that Chris Harney has built a national hoops power. With a 27-3 record, the No. 11-ranked Seahawks will be making their second appearance in three years in the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division III men's basketball tournament Friday, taking on the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor, a Texas school.
And get this: Harney has built the program via a steady pipeline of kids from the Baltimore metro region.
You don't find that unusual?
Serious ballers from up here heading off to Sailboat U.?
Look, this is a school where they let you use your library card to rent kayaks.
It's a school that had a mold problem in two dorms in 2011 and the administration said: "No sweat. We'll empty the dorms and have the kid live on a cruise ship on the river until the mold is cleaned up."
But somehow Harney gets these kids, sells them on the school's great academics and the picture-postcard setting and a chance to be part of a winning program built for the long haul.
This year he's got sophomore point guard Nick LaGuerre from Lansdowne High, junior guard Donn Hill from Bel Air, senior guard Devin Spencer from now-defunct Towson Catholic and senior guard James Davenport from Loyola Blakefield.
He's also got senior guard Therm James from City, junior guard Kyle Wise from Calvert Hall, sophomore forward Lee Jordan from Baltimore Free Academy and freshman guard Ben Goldsmith from Centennial.
They bring a Baltimore toughness and savvy to the Seahawks, who are undefeated at home, where they've had only four losses in the past three years. And their confidence is sky-high after an 18-point win over Morrisville State College of upstate New York in the third round of the tournament last week.
Harney calls LaGuerre "kind of a superstar. ... He's a real highlight reel: steals, blocks, dunks, he hits 3s."
But in his eighth season at the school, Harney stresses unselfish play. And his kids buy into it completely. Four of them average double figures in scoring: LaGuerre (13.4 points per game), Hill (12.5), Spencer (11.0 despite being hurt for a long stretch) and junior guard Brendan McFall (10.7).
Nevertheless, with everyone trying to stand out, practice can take on all the calm of an MMA card.
"Lot of hunger in the gym," says James, the City alum. "The competition in practice is something most people wouldn't believe."
James is hard to believe, too, Harney says. He didn't get to play as much as he wanted this season, so he turned into the team's chief motivator — a Nike-wearing cross between Dick Vitale and Tony Robbins.
Before every game, he goes down the bench and asks every player if he's ready to go. Then he gets in Harney's face — "Here I'm nervous, trying to focus," Harney says — and asks him if he's ready, too.
You don't want to say "No, I'm not ready" to Therm James, either. It wouldn't go over well.
In some ways, James is only taking a cue from the intense Harney, who is 163-65 at St. Mary's and just won his third Capital Athletic Conference Coach of the Year honor.
Harney is a great local story, too, a guy who totally backed into coaching. A St. Mary's grad (class of '97), he showed up at Bel Air High years ago looking for a job.
Not a coaching job. Just ... a job.
"My aspirations were to be a history teacher," he says.
But the school said, in effect: "You want to teach? Fine. But you have to coach, too."
So Harney did. He coached JV basketball and baseball and eventually varsity basketball. And found he didn't, well, hate it.
"It wasn't my first love or pursuit," he said. "But as I became involved with basketball, I realized it was just another form of teaching."
He thought coaching could help him "impact some guys' lives, too." And he got good enough at it to lead Bel Air to a 21-3 record in 2003-04, winning Harford County Coach of the Year from The Baltimore Sun.
He'd bring his Bel Air teams to Baltimore to play in fall and summer leagues to toughen them up, expose them to the best competition around. And while he was at it, he worked the gyms like nobody's business.
"I just developed these good relationships with many different coaches," he says. "That was a big factor in the recruiting [at St. Mary's]."
Now Sailboat U. goes for its biggest prize of the Harney era: a Final Four berth.
For the little school in the middle of nowhere, that would be the best March Madness of all.

Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. These photos are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them. There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at: http://flickr.com/account/. To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. (c) Finally, you can Banish Yourself From Flickr Hive Mind. To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

It's out, yay!
My new DVD is finally out! We started filming in March 2010 so this has been quite a long process. But, as they say, good things happen slowly (!). The three patterns I use to teach Lopapeysa knitting on the DVD are available as free downloads through the Knitting Iceland website – so feel free to knit them even if you don't purchase my DVD.

Laramie, WY – Casper contractors are upset that a couple of big projects appear to be going to out-of-state firms.
The projects involved are the $20 million Gateway Building at Casper College and the $10 million Casper Area Business Innovation Center.
Josh Carnahan, of Associated Builders and Contractors of Wyoming, says too many projects in the state are being awarded to out-of-state firms, or to companies they say have only a token presence in the state.
Officials involved with awarding the contracts say they do not have flexibility to simply dole out construction contracts to local firms mainly because they have to take the lowest bidder.

In this paper the estimation of word posterior probabilities is discussed and their application in the CU-HTK system used in the March 2000 Hub5 Conversational Telephone Speech evaluation is described. The word lattices produced by the Viterbi decoder were used to generate confusion networks, which provide a compact representation of the most likely word hypotheses and their associated word posterior probabilities. These confusion networks were used in a number of post-processing steps. The 1-best sentence hypotheses extracted directly from the networks are shown to be significantly more accurate than the baseline decoding results. The posterior probability estimates were used as the basis for the estimation of word-level confidence scores. A new system combination technique is presented that uses these confidence scores and the confusion networks and performs better than the well-known ROVER.
