Supermodel Bar Refaeli is the hottest woman alive. It's science. Actually, more reliable than science: It's a popular vote of Maxim's readers. The 26-year-old former girlfriend of Leonardo DiCaprio and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model was named the men's magazine's hottest pin-up, displacing last year's trophy, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (who dropped to 11th this year). Click below for the rest of this year's Top 10, and some commentary on other notables, including the hottest cartoon mom, the hottest athlete, and the hottest late-night TV host. READ FULL STORY

'Project Runway': Should Jay be allowed to design for women if he hates them?
Last night, my DVR said "Models of the Runway," but thank god it was a 30-minute combo platter Project Runway/Models reunion special, because if I had sat through one more full episode of Models of the Runway, I do believe my head might've just rolled right off! Missy alluded to it in her finale recap, but can we talk about Jay's ridiculous comment to model Cerri? In a clip series, Cerri was shown saying she didn't like Jay's design, and then Jay fired back at her during the live show, "That's why we don't hire models with bad teeth and thick legs."
Oh, honeybitch. It's understandable to take criticism of your work as a personal affront, but you need to let that stuff process at least 30 seconds before proceeding in any way. Grownups do it all the time. I do it with bitchy PopWatch comments nearly every day!
1. Did Jay just sabotage his career?
2. Do you think Brittany has recovered yet?
3. How pretty is Cerri?!?

'Project Runway' recap: The Bryant Park showdown, plus a reunion of bitchery
We have a winner, folks. And it's not L'Oréal Paris, Garnier Fructis, or the Westin New York Times Square, even though all those shameless bits of product-placement enjoyed enough movie star close-ups last night to qualify for a SAG card.
Nope, the winner of Project Runway season 7 was… READ FULL STORY
'Models of the Runway' recap: Trashy
This week, I bit the bullet and watched Models of the Runway on fast-forward until it was time to choose models. It ended up being a great show. What pretty creatures! Cerri, the porcelain doll with the hot Irish accent, yelled at everyone for leaving their trash on the floor, Top Model-style. Heidi let her weird group therapy, and because it was so sped up, it wasn't awkward at all! The fake mommies and fake daughters had a sad models-only picnic in Central Park. During this carefully staged event, Megan's face suggested a liveliness so rare that slowed it down to real-time to discover that Megan and her mini happened to worship the same three deities: Hannah Montana, the color pink, and their hair. Then the models stomped around in the breezeway with puzzling giant orange spheres right behind the EW office, which Tanner and I call Gossip Cove. Oh, no! What if we'd seen them? THINGS ARE SUDDENLY HITTING TOO CLOSE TO HOME. I promise, Internet, just like last week: I will never write about Models of the Runway again. Find out which designers chose which models after the jump, and read Missy Schwartz' Project Runway recap! READ FULL STORY
'Models of the Runway' recap: Alexis debuts her sternum
Welcome back to the practical joke I am playing on the Internet by recapping Models of the Runway! See how amused that makeup artist is? The rest of the girls hate Alexis even more than that. All the more reason to do everything in her power to get those boobs of hers on TV.
I can't say "nothing happened" like I usually do, because the models did a "Marry" Claire photo shoot. It was a magical land filled with bright lights and a rack of light-blue men's oxfords. Brittany: "I'm guessing they're for us?" Brittany was right! But this wasn't even the biggest plot point. No, get this: Alexis wasn't getting enough attention back at the apartment, so she spun a tall tale about a dream she'd had in which…are you even ready?….MEGAN GOT FAT. Megan got pissed. THEN Alexis ate up another "scene" by apologizing to Megan. And THEN Alexis wandered into frame AGAIN to inform Megan of some amazing news. "I just looked something up, and it's actually a very good thing. It says that to dream that others are fat signifies prosperity." For you, Alexis. The dream would signify prosperity FOR YOU. Oh god, I don't know if I can take it anymore. Of course I can! Find out who went home — and which designers chose which models — after the jump, and don't miss Missy Schwartz' Project Runway recap! READ FULL STORY
'Models of the Runway' recap: Someone please tell Alexis she's not on 'Survivor'
"Don't hate me. I'm trying to play a game here!" protested Alexis the U.F.O. to no one while making ironic double peace signs with her alien hands. Really, dear, sweet other-planetary creature: No one is fighting against you. You are playing the role of coat hanger #9 in a game of chance. As usual, nothing happened on last night's Models of the Runway, and yet I refuse to not recap it because my warped logic dictates that this blog item somehow earns me back the 22 minutes of my life I wasted away. Alexis' attempts to talk strategy and bad-mouth Sarah during the pedicure party went over about as well as Heidi's question to the group: "Would you like to spend more time with these women?" The highlight of the episode was when the models and the temporary real-people models with heart conditions had to halfheartedly exercise in the middle of Madison Square Park. This seemed about 66.6-repeating percent more embarrassing than another common NYC-lady plight: having to use the treadmill butted up against the full-length window in a New York Sports Club during rush hour. Find out who went home — and which designers chose which models — after the jump, and don't miss non-Campbell's spokeswoman Missy Schwartz' Project Runway recap! READ FULL STORY
'Models of the Runway': Should Megan have spoken?
Allow me to introduce myself: I am the only person who's seen every single episode of Models of the Runway. Please prove me wrong in the comments. Anyway, scandale! on last night's Project Runway: Jesse/Ping's model, Megan, dared to open her mouth. Megan tattled on Ping for not even glancing her way let alone fitting her for the pair's "Look For Less," a drab skirt and top that I was sure had been pulled out of the "formalwear: kind of" pile I had in my closet during seventh grade. On Models of the Runway, the models, especially Cerri the feisty Dubliner, harped on Megan for her gross display of the ability to speak, but later on, Jesse ended up thanking Megan for her loyalty and choosing her again. Find out who went home — and which designers chose which models — after the jump. READ FULL STORY

text: 10 Models That Changed the Look of Cars The 1941 Willys MB not only served our troops during World War II, but also gave rise to the SUV, a vehicle type that would boom for years to come. The midengined Lamborghini Miura of the 1960s set a blueprint for supercars through the '70s and '80s. But we don't have to travel back a half-century to find cars that changed the automotive design landscape. Here are ten modern cars that rocked the status quo and inspired serious changes in the new cars we see today.

If you wanted to haul around your family in something other than a minivan or station wagon, you probably bought a body-on-frame truck-based SUV. Yes, you could get a Honda CR-V or a Toyota RAV4, but neither of these crossovers was roomy enough for large families. In 1998 Lexus unleashed the midsize RX 300, an entry-level luxury crossover that looked like nothing else on the road and rode on a heavily modified front-drive Camry platform. It was the perfect packageone that delivered carlike handling, respectable power, and excellent fuel economy. Back then, the design even looked a little radical compared with the trucky SUVs on the road. An original RX 300 doesn't look dated or out of place on today's streets. That's because 15 years later most manufacturers are using the RX 300's formula. The Toyota Highlander, Acura MDX, Hyundai Santa Fe, Nissan Murano, Ford Edge, and Dodge Journey are all modern examples of crossovers built on front-drive midsize platforms.

Plan Administration prior to December 31, 2010 Health coverage will be offered through Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan (MCHCP). MCHCP is the state-authorized organization that provides coverage for most state employees, and for many other public employers. Effective January 1, 2011, employer-provided health care plans may be with any health care provider.
Plan Design Prior to December 31, 2010 To provide the maximum flexibility for types of coverages that a given County Extension Council might prefer for its staff, each County Extension Council will enroll with MCHCP as the employer, and will be involved with staff in selecting preferred coverages. MCHCP offers dental, vision and employee assistance plans beyond the basic, MU Extension supported health plan. A County Extension Council may offer these additional plans to staff through funding provided by the County Extension Council, staff members or some combination thereof (each plan has specific funding guidelines).
Prior to July 1, 2010 MCHCP will bill all plan costs to MU Extension, the appropriate portion of the basic health plan premium will be paid with the MU Extension funds, and the employee's portion and cost of any additional coverages a County Extension Council has offered to its staff will be invoiced to County Extension Councils on a monthly basis. There is no required contribution from the County Extension Council to the cost of health insurance if the Extension subsidy covers the required employer portion of the employee only medical premium offered to secretaries or program office support staff working 3/4 time, or more (30 or more hours per week). County Extension Councils are, however, agreeing by virtue of their employee's enrollment in MCHCP to ensure that appropriate deductions are made from their employee's paychecks to cover the employee's share of monthly premiums.
Eligibility prior to December 31, 2010 Each County Extension Council is responsible for direct notification to MCHCP and the MU Extension Plan Administrator of any changes in coverage, terminations, or new hires to assure that coverages and charges are correct.
Withholdings Prior to December 31 ,2010 For eligible county secretaries who choose to participate, the plan may require a monthly payroll deduction. Plan flexibility allows each individual to select from an array of health plan options, and to change those selections over time.
Prior to January 1, 2008 This plan requires that employee deductions be made from taxable income, and are not eligible to be treated as a pretax contribution.
Each County as Its Own Entity prior to January 1, 2011 For medical benefits, each county is a unit under Missouri Consolidated Health Care Plan. Each County Extension Council may choose to join the MCHCP as a public entity. Each joining County Extension Council is a separate entity, and as such, is responsible for any and all determinations concerning optional coverage plans and employee participation. This will allow each County Extension Council the flexibility to add additional benefits and provide benefits for secretaries less than .75 FTE.
Pre-Tax Deductions through 12/31/2007 Pre-tax deductions for health, dental or vision insurance premiums were not possible for this plan prior to January 1, 2008.
Retired Staff prior to 1/1/2011 Staff members that retire after the start of the plan are able to qualify to continue coverage with the MCHCP, as they would have an existing pension plan in effect. Retirees are required to pay 100 percent of premiums directly to the health care provider.
Other Benefit Plans prior to 1/1/2011 No arrangements may be made to pay premiums to other plans or existing options offered by County Extension Councils, except for existing contracts with the University.
Billing Procedures MCHCP bills MU Extension prior to the beginning of the coverage month. MU Extension pays the MCHCP bill then invoices the County Extension Councils, minus the MU Extension subsidy. Invoices indicate covered individuals and the types of coverage. Verify that coverage is correct.
Each County Extension Council is responsible for notifying MCHCP and the MU Extension Plan Administrator, upon any change, termination or employment of new secretaries to stop or change coverage. All payments for invoices must be remitted to University of Missouri Columbia AR, P.O. Box 807012, Kansas City, MO 64180-7012.

social marketing
Posted by Sheila Shayon on January 14, 2013 02:09 PM
In the heated battle for digital and social loyalty, Facebook is squaring off against Tumblr, which is growing in size and as a platform for brands to have a different kind of voice, one that relates better to millennials in particular: more tongue in cheek, a little more freewheeling and more visual.
With more than 80 million blogs across its network, Tumblr is inspiring online (recently passing "blog" as a search term on Google) and offline buzz, as witnessed in a flurry of Tumblr to book publishing deals, such as Suri's Burn Book.
The microblogging site has hired a full-time literary community manager, Rachel Fershleiser, to help connect Tumblr bloggers to agents that could lead to a book, TV, radio or web deal — or some combination of those platforms. "I'll give them advice or I'll take a look at their book proposal," Fershleiser commented to the PBS MediaShift blog. "Sometimes I'll pass something along to an agent. Tumblr gives them a place to put their work and if it's great, we will get it discovered."
While clearly embraced by the younger creative community, Tumblr founder and CEO David Karp faces the task of monetizing its success by working with brands and marketers while not turning off its user base. Karp isn't a big fan of advertising, so he's looking for subtle ways to engage brands and his community.
He recently hired Lee Brown as global head of sales for Tumblr, charged with luring advertising equal to its $800 million valuation. Skeptics like Frank O'Brien, CEO of marketing firm Conversation, commented to the New York Post, "Tumblr is like a bootleg Pinterest. I'll just go to the real thing versus a wannabe."
"Marketers are definitely looking to other social networks beyond Facebook," said a spokesman for eMarketer to the Post, "not because Facebook is ineffective but because the digital audience is more fragmented than ever before."
The opportunity is huge, judging by data such as an admittedly unscientific survey by Garry Tan of Y Combinator. Tan was curious about which social networks were drawing younger digerati, so he dispatched Y Combinator's Survata to check in with 1,038 people in two groups: 546 responses in 13-18 year-olds and 492 responses in 19-25 year-olds.
He found that Tumblr is more popular with 13-to-25-year-olds than Facebook, of whom 59% said they were regular users of Tumblr, compared with 54% for Facebook. Among those 13 to 18, the percentage who said they use Tumblr regularly was even higher: 61% versus 55%.
Even so, don't discount Facebook yet — as the Wall Street Journal noted about Tan's research, "The survey does seem to suggest that the death of Facebook among teens and younger adults was 'exaggerated,' with usage among those age groups far outstripping Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat."

Did you see the new photos of Whitney Houston dead?
February 23rd, 2012

The singer's funeral took place over the weekend and with the exception of Bobbi Kristina Brown allegedly disappearing for a few hours to get wasted, Bobby Brown making an early departure and refusing to stay for the funeral after ushers told him that he was not allowed to sit in the front row (the space reserved for family), and Aretha Franklin failing to appear after she allegedly had a fight with Whitney's mom sissy [but saying she could not come for medical reasons] -- all was quiet.

Tu Bishvat (Hebrew: טו בשבט) is a Jewish holiday occurring on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Shevat (in 2014, Tu Bishvat will start at sunset on 15 January and will end at nightfall on 16 January). It is also called "Rosh HaShanah La'Ilanot" (Hebrew: ראש השנה לאילנות), literally "New Year of the Trees." In contemporary Israel the day is celebrated as an ecological awareness day and trees are planted in celebration.
The name Tu Bishvat is derived from the Hebrew date of the holiday, which occurs on the fifteenth day of Shevat. "Tu" stands for the Hebrew letters Tet and Vav, which together have the numerical value of 9 and 6, adding up to 15.[1] Tu Bishvat is a relatively recent name; the date was originally called "Ḥamisha Asar BiShvat" (חמשה-עשר בשבט), which also means "Fifteenth of Shevat".[citation needed]
Tu Bishvat appears in the Mishnah in Tractate Rosh Hashanah as one of the four new years in the Jewish calendar. The discussion of when the New Year occurs was a source of debate among the rabbis: "And there are four new year dates: - The first of Nisan - new year for kings and festivals - The first of Elul - new year for animal tithes. Rabbi Elazar and Rabbi Shimon say: the first of Tishrei. - The first of Tishrei- new year for calculation of the calendar, sabbatical years and jubilees, for planting and sowing - The first of Shevat, according to the school of Shamai; The school of Hillel says: the fifteenth of Shevat" (Rosh Hashana:2a)[2]
The rabbis of the Talmud ruled in favor of Hillel on this issue. Thus the 15th of Shevat became the date for calculating the beginning of the agricultural cycle for the purpose of biblical tithes.[3]
Biblical tithes[edit]
- Orlah refers to a biblical prohibition (Leviticus 19:23) on eating the fruit of trees produced during the first three years after they are planted.[4]
- Neta Reva'i refers to the biblical commandment (Leviticus 19:24) to bring fourth-year fruit crops to Jerusalem as a tithe.[5]
- Maaser Sheni was a tithe which was eaten in Jerusalem and Maaser Ani was a tithe given to the poor (Deuteronomy 14:22-29) that were also calculated by whether the fruit ripened before or after Tu Bishvat.
Of the talmudic requirements for fruit trees which used Tu Bishvat as the cut-off date in the Hebrew calendar for calculating the age of a fruit-bearing tree, Orlah remains to this day in essentially the same form it had in talmudic times. In the Orthodox Jewish world, these practices are still observed today as part of Halacha, Jewish law. Fruit that ripened on a three year old tree before Tu Bishvat is considered orlah and is forbidden to eat, while fruit ripening on or after Tu Bishvat of the tree's third year is permitted. In the 1st, 2nd, 4th and 5th years of the Shmita cycle Maaser Sheni is observed today by a ceremony redeeming tithing obligations with a coin; in the 3rd and 6th years, Maaser Ani is substituted, and no coin is needed for redeeming it. Tu Bishvat is the cut-off date for determining to which year the tithes belong.
Kabbalistic and Hassidic customs[edit]
In the Middle Ages, Tu Bishvat was celebrated with a feast of fruits in keeping with the Mishnaic description of the holiday as a "New Year." In the 16th century, the kabbalist Rabbi Yitzchak Luria of Safed and his disciples instituted a Tu Bishvat seder in which the fruits and trees of the Land of Israel were given symbolic meaning. The main idea was that eating ten specific fruits and drinking four cups of wine in a specific order while reciting the appropriate blessings would bring human beings, and the world, closer to spiritual perfection.[6]
In Israel, the kabbalistic Tu Bishvat seder has been revived, and is now celebrated by many Jews, religious and secular. Special haggadot have been written for this purpose.
In the Chassidic community, some Jews pickle or candy the etrog (citron) from Sukkot and eat it on Tu Bishvat. Some pray that they will be worthy of a beautiful etrog on the following Sukkot.[7]
Customs in Israel[edit]
On Tu Bishvat 1890, Rabbi Ze'ev Yavetz, one of the founders of the Mizrachi movement,[8] took his students to plant trees in the agricultural colony of Zichron Yaakov. This custom was adopted in 1908 by the Jewish Teachers Union and later by the Jewish National Fund (Keren HaKayemet L'Israel), established in 1901 to oversee land reclamation and afforestation of the Land of Israel. In the early 20th century, the Jewish National Fund devoted the day to planting eucalyptus trees to stop the plague of malaria in the Hula Valley;[9] today the Fund schedules major tree-planting events in large forests every Tu Bishvat.[10] Over a million Israelis take part in the Jewish National Fund's Tu Bishvat tree-planting activities.[11][dead link]
In keeping with the idea of Tu Bishvat marking the revival of nature, many of Israel's major institutions have chosen this day for their inauguration. The cornerstone-laying of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem took place on Tu Bishvat 1918; the Technion in Haifa, on Tu Bishvat 1925; and the Knesset, on Tu Bishvat 1949.[12]
Tu Bishvat is the Israeli Arbor Day,[10][13] and it is often referred to by that name in international media.[14] Ecological organizations in Israel and the diaspora have adopted the holiday to further environmental-awareness programs.[15][16] On Israeli kibbutzim, Tu Bishvat is celebrated as an agricultural holiday.[17]

Will it work from desktop browser? That would be helpful, and typing API key on mobile is not the most convenient thing) Any chance it could read data from QR code?

Thanks, it's so cool! I've been wanting something like this for quite some time now
Btw, SALES number is a number of sales in the current month, right?
@xdkd I don't see the point of having it on desktop, as you can just open the marketplace. Agree about the API key, will think something out.
@urbazon Glad you like it. The numbers are for the current month. Your totals are under your name at the top.
Thank you! this is great, but the api key is sure long to type on the phone!
Awesome! Thanks a lot!

Get a Rayovac Phone Boost mobile charger for $3.98
I love supercheap deals like this one.
For a limited time, and while supplies last, Home Depot has the Rayovac Phone Boost mobile charger for $3.98 plus tax. Shipping adds around $6 (d'oh!), but if you have a store near you, you can just stop in. (Alternatively, you can pad your cart to at least $45 and net free shipping, though I daresay that makes this deal a little less practical.)
The Phone Boost is a keychain-friendly charger for Apple 30-pin and Micro-USB devices. It has nesting tips for both at one end and a standard USB plug … Read more

SimpleTreeDropdownField makes Problems
12 August 2009 at 3:39am
Hi there, I still have problems with SimpleTreeDropdownFiled and TreeDropdownField inside the Javascript Popup.
I have a collection of the following Class:class Overview extends DataObject{
static $db = array (
'LinkTitle' => 'Text',
'LinkTeaser' => 'Text'
);static $has_one = array (
'OverviewTarget' => 'SiteTree'
);public function getCMSFields_forPopup(){
return new FieldSet(
new TextField('LinkTitle', "Link Titel:"),
new TextField('LinkTeaser', "Link Teaser:"),
new SimpleTreeDropdownField('OverviewTarget', "Link Ziel:", 'SiteTree')
}The Problem is, that the value from the SimpleTreeDropdownField isn't saved.
I'm trying to read OververviewTarget and OverviewTargetID but both values are empty or always showing the value "1".
I also tried to use the Following line (as needed in TreeDropdoewnFiled)new SimpleTreeDropdownField('OverviewTargetID', "Link Ziel:", 'SiteTree')
but when using OverviewTargetID insted of OverviewTarget the Dropdown doesn't appear in the Popup.
The same is happening to TreeDropdownField. It doesn't appear when using OverviewTargetID and it's not saving the value when using OverviewTarget.What am I doing wrong, or is there just a simple error in Silverstripe 2.3.2 / 2.3.3?
Re: SimpleTreeDropdownField makes Problems
12 August 2009 at 3:53am
It should definitely be OverviewTargetID. Looks like you may have set up your model wrong. What page does the DataObject belong to? If the page has_many Overview, then your overview needs to has_one Page, and that has to be the first entry in your has_one
static $has_one = array (
'ObjectHolder' => 'ObjectHolder',
'OverviewTarget' => 'SiteTree'
); -

Hi, this is the Model:
class StartPage extends ExtendedPage {
public static $has_one = array(
'LeftImage' => 'Image',
'RightImage' => 'Image'
);static $has_many = array (
'Overviews' => 'Overview'
);public function getCMSFields(){
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Images", new ImageField('LeftImage', 'Linkes Bild'));
$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Images", new ImageField('RightImage', 'Rechtes Bild'));
$fields->addFieldToTab('Root.Content.Ueberuns', new DataObjectManager(
$this, // Controller
'Overviews', // Source name
'Overview', // Source class
'LinkTitle' => 'LinkTitle',
'LinkTeaser' => 'LinkTeaser'
));return $fields;
class StartPage_Controller extends ExtendedPage_Controller {
Do you mean, that I should add
static $has_one = array (
'StartPage' => 'StartPage',
'OverviewTarget' => 'SiteTree'
);to the Overview Object?
Re: SimpleTreeDropdownField makes Problems
12 August 2009 at 4:16am
Yeah, otherwise there's no database relation. The foreign key goes on the has_one object, not on the has_many object. If you run a build with that code you'll see you get a new field.

12 August 2009 at 4:46am
Well, damn, it works. Many thanks. I was a week chewing on this Problem and in the end it was a stupid small mistake. I realy should work a lot more with Silverstripe to have these Concepts in Mind.

I have the exact same problem: MasterPage edits a collection of DetailObjects, which include a caption and a target page ID. The target page value from the SimpleTreeDropdownField isn't saved. I've been over the code again and again but can't spot what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas?
The query looks like this. Note the DetailObjectTargetID field is not updated,
INSERT INTO "DetailObject" ("Created") VALUES (NOW())
SELECT "ID" FROM "DetailObject" WHERE "ID" = 2
UPDATE "DetailObject" SET "ClassName" = 'DetailObject', "Caption" = 'Marker', "MasterPageID" = 11, "LastEdited" = '2010-07-01 15:00:50', "Created" = '2010-07-01 15:00:50' where "ID" = 2After the query, the data looks like this:
ID ClassName Created LastEdited Caption MasterPageID DetailObjectTargetID
2 DetailObject 2010-07-01 15:00:50 2010-07-01 15:00:50 Marker 11 0========== MasterPage.php ==========
* Defines the HomePage page type
*/class MasterPage extends Page {
static $db = array(
);static $has_many = array(
'DetailObjects' => 'DetailObject'
);public function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();// Note: The array defines the fields shown in the grid
$tablefield = new DataObjectManager(
'Caption' => 'Caption'
$fields->addFieldToTab( 'Root.Content.Detail', $tablefield );return $fields;
}class MasterPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
public function init() {
?>========== DetailObject.php ==========
class DetailObject extends DataObject {
public static $db = array(
'Caption' => 'Text'
);public static $has_one = array(
'MasterPage' => 'MasterPage',
'DetailObjectTarget' => 'SiteTree'
);// Define the fields shown in the record editor popup
public function getCMSFields_forPopup() {
return new FieldSet(
new TextField('Caption'),
new SimpleTreeDropdownField('DetailObjectTargetId', "Target page", 'SiteTree')
?>Cheeky 2nd question: Does DOM work with TreeDropdownField? I'm concerned about scalability - if the site has too many pages then SimpleTreeDropdownField may become unusable.

Nice one boss, that's it! Thanks!
Is there any way of getting warning/error messages when I make that kind of mistake? SilverStripe seems to fail quietly - either ignoring errors or generating a blank screeen, even with &isDev=1.

Governor's office media room
CONTACT: Stephanie Smiley, (608) 266-5862
MADISON—Even as updated data reported during Infant Mortality Awareness Month shows some decline in the infant mortality rate in Wisconsin during the past two decades, state health officials today affirmed their ongoing commitment to achieving significant reductions in the future.
"Our work with statewide partners to bring down this still unacceptably high infant mortality rate goes on all year long," said Dr. Henry Anderson, State Health Officer. "During Infant Mortality Awareness Month we pause and reflect on our progress to date, but this important work continues on a daily basis."
The overall infant mortality rate in Wisconsin declined from 8.0 to 6.3 deaths per 1,000 live births, based on three-year averages, but the gains did not fully extend to minority groups. For 2008-2010, African American infants were 2.7 times as likely to die before reaching their first birthday as an infant born to a white woman.
In 2010, 393 Wisconsin infants died during the first year of life: 247 were white, 95 were African American, 29 were Hispanic/Latino, six were American Indian, eight were Laotian and Hmong, and eight were of other race or unknown origin.
Health officials are involved in several programs around the state that target different causes of infant mortality, Anderson noted. These include:

4/5 rDev +1.5%
look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Found this lonely little bottle in my local beer store and decided to buy it and check it out.
Appearance 4.0: Poured out a beautiful brownish gold. Weird black gunk all around inside of neck. The beer itself was completely translucent. Nice 1/2" head quickly disappeared and left nothing on top. No lacing whatsoever.
Smell 4.0: Beautiful bouquet. Malt, candi sugar, deep scents of wood and yeast along with a pleasant noble hop aroma. Also a strange hint of root veggies.
Taste 4.0: Front is slightly sweet and very smooth. Middle is somewhat dry with accents on an unusual taste of rooty veggies (the bottle states that the beer was brewed with "valerian and Lemon balm" so that may explain some of it). The finish is also slightly dry, but features a wave of sweet in the middle of the palate; this quickly fades into the Aftertaste which is smooth, slightly tangy and refreshing. Absolutely no indication of the 12%+ ABV this baby is packing.
Mouthfeel 4.0: The mouthfeel certainly enhances the enjoyment of the beer.
Overall 4.0: A unique tasting beer and I do not mean that with any sarcasm. The rooty flavor is interesting and not a distraction. Also, this is a big BIG beer and it is a credit to the brewers that the alcohol is successfully hidden and the focus of this beer is on taste, not alcohol consumption. Recommended...if you can find it!

look: 3.25 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3 | feel: 3 | overall: 3.5
Poured from 11.2oz bottle into Chimay goblet
A - Lighter in color than expected from a quad. Cream colored head that settles quickly.
S - Caramel, raisin, yeast...a sticky bun in a glass!
T - Alcohol bite, grainy malt, vague raisin/candy sugar flavors.
M - Thin feel with strong alcohol.
There are certainly better quads out there. This beer has the right notes but the volume has been turned way down. While the label marks it as an ale brewed with spices, these flavors are lacking or hidden by the alcohol bite.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 3.75
Doesn't strike you as a Quad - but it offers some interesting flavors.
A: nice, big head...dark amber color, rather clear
S: caramel, acetic acid (like a weakened cider vinegar)
T: woody as hell, forest-musty....lightly bread-crusty (reminiscent of Jenlain Ambree), almond?....tannic, tea-like finish....sherry-like oxidation, yet surprisingly mellow in attack, clean overall
M: smooth, medium-full, pretty dry finish, little bit of a tingle....a bit hard to tell it's 12%
O: not what I think of with a Quad, but obviously notable for other reasons....curious about the handling and age of the bottle...

3.88/5 rDev -1.5%
look: 3.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
From a 330 ml bottle into a chalice.
A-The brew has a unique, reddish-orange-hued brown color...lighter than most quads. It is quite murky. A normal pour produces about one finger of dense, tan head. A thick cap hangs around but leaves no lacing.
S-The smell is sweet and boozy, but not hot or alcoholic smelling. I get some brown sugar and dark, overripe fruit scents.
T-The taste is also sweet and boozy with flavors of overripe fruit, molasses, and rum. There is a little hit of spicy pepper on the finish.
F-The brew is medium-bodied with a little hit of fine carbonation. Between the fine carbonation and the lingering cap of foam, it produces a nice creamy feel.
O-This is a pretty good quad with a unique flavor that tends toward fruit and sugar, instead of fruit, spice, and tobacco flavors. The high ABV is not hidden, but is displayed in a tasteful manner. This brew doesn't compare with my favorite quads, but I would not hesitate to drink this again.

look: 3.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
A: The beer is hazy brownish amber in color and poured with a thin collar of bubbles around the edge of the glass.
S: Aromas of fruits are present in the nose along with notes of caramel malts and hints of yeast.
T: Like the smell, the taste is complex and has some sweetness with flavors of caramel, dark fruits and yeast.
M: It feels medium- to full-bodied on the palate and has a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very easy to drink considering its strength because the alcohol is well hidden from the taste.

Picked up a bottle from Magnums on the 4th of July 2010 for $5.99.
Beer opened resoundingly flat and decanted without a head. Upon further examination of the bottle i discovered it was bottled in 2002. This could be good or could be bad...
Nose was quite lovely, dark ripe fruits dominate.
Taste is pretty similar to the nose, dark fruits and candi sugar. Finishes slightly sweet. Not catching any oxidation.
Mouthfeel is fairly full nut not overly smooth.
Overall this was a pretty fun considering this is my first ten year old beer. It has held up considerably well. I am guessing this came out of someone's rare beer collection and was resold...

Review from 7/2010 notes. Poured into a Gulden Draak tulip. Pours a dark orange amber with a slight head and no lacing. Aroma estery and boozy. Flavor of brown sugar, fruit, especially orange, booze. Odd spicy finish, mega booze. Interesting flavors, but not at all balanced and the alcohol dominates. Interesting flavors if it was a bit more balanced.

A: Poured from a bottle to a goblet. Had a brown color and murky consistency. There was an inch and a half of creamy, fairly long-lasting head. Average lacing.
S: A good, solid aroma of fruit, yeast, and some spices.
T: Tasted of Belgian yeast, spices (pepper), fruit (apples), and some malt as well. Not exactly a groundbreaking flavor, but focused and tasty.
M: A huge amount of carbonation with a smooth finish. Medium-bodied.
O: A solidly made, well constructed, drinkable brew.

With ultimate strength and a dangerously drinkable notion, this Quadruple Ale celebrates estery fruits, spicy phenols, and a warm tummy.
The beer pours with a deep honey-like amber hue that's less dark than many Stong Dark Ales on the market. The beer builds a very creamy and dense egg shell white head that retains very stubbornly and with mild lace. Very impressive is the head character and staying power.
Wine-like vinous notes, spice, and an underlying musty malt character set the stage for aromas while fruity notes resemble those of cherries, figs, dates, grape, and then rum-like alcohols.
Flavors are vividly of the raison, dates, fig, and cherry fruit flavors- all of the bold and ripe vareities. The stone fruit character is in perfect contrast to the peppery spice of white pepper, black peppercorn, corriander, and dried orange peel. Low-lying sweetness seems to be mostly of candied fruits rather than bready or biscuity malt. Alcohol also lends a hand in the flavor profile with the boozy character of rum or maybe even cough syrups.
Very creamy to start, the carbonation seems to erupt from the palate in a very expansive way. As the carbonation subsides, it takes with it any malty weight and leaves more of an impression of flavor in aftertaste rather than feeling the weight of the beer on the palate- all leads to a very whimsical texture and ease in drinking. The finish brings a dry-fruity character and a hot, prickly feel from the 12% abv.
Where this Quad favors the lighter and brighter balance of nuts and fruit rather than the more chocolaty and richer varieties; it has a very dry and warm identity that should settle well with drinkers of cognac and brandy.

33cl bottle into a medium-sized Duvel tulip. Thanks to JAHMUR for sharing.
A: Cloudy medium amber body witha thin off-white layer of bubbles. Meh.
S: Intense. Big booze, malt, bandaids, and smoke. Weird, but not unpleasant.
T: Follows the nose, with rich, spicy, smokey, malty and medicinal notes. Booze and sweetness on the tail end. Nice spice, but the bandaids are a bit much.
M: Slick, smooth medium body with delicate carbonation. Nice.
O: This wasn't very Quad-like at all, but it was interesting all the same. I won't be seeking it out, but wouldn't dissuade anyone from giving it a shot.

Poured into a Duvel tulip glass. Glass of cold water on the side to sip from periodically.
Appearance: As poured the beer is a hazed chestnut color with 1 ½" ivory head that persists for a relatively long while that leaves some patches of lacing here and there as it recedes. Sipping leaves a sheet of foam on one side of the glass that soon slides back down to the liquid while on the other side there are some patches and legs of lacing clinging to the glass. Eventually the head recedes to a ring of foam with a partial covering over most of the liquid.
Smell: The aroma has a nice fruity character (raisins and apples) mingled with lots of caramel and candi sugar. There is also a bit of a musty or leathery character here towards the end.
Taste: The flavor is full of the dark caramel sweetness and some fruit, with raisin, peach and apple showing up as the liquid warms.
Mouthfeel: The mouth feel is on the full side of medium with a certain light creaminess from the active carbonation. The finish is relatively long and filled with changes as the sugar comes and goes, changing places with the fruits and eventually ending a touch of bitter sour apple.
Drinkability and Overall Impression: I've enjoyed drinking this one and despite the sweetness here it hasn't begun to cloy by the end and so remains enjoyable throughout. My overall impression is that this is a well made, interesting beer that is not quite what I'd expected but that has a lot to recommend it.

Poured from 330mL bottle into a tulip. No date on the bottle.
Appearance: rich light-brown hue with tons of effervescence. Poured with about four fingers of frothy, fizzy tan foam despite a pretty gentle pour. Not bad!
Smell: sweet, malty aroma with a fruity, somewhat tart tinge to it. Alcohol is definitely present. Good, but not great.
Taste: sweetly malty with some bright fruit flavors and a little bit of nuttiness toward the end. Apple and pear are present, but there is a light tartness and the overall effect is much more reminiscent of a lighter beer than a quad. It is tasty enough, but it lacks depth; I like my quads to be contemplative.
Mouthfeel: bodacious, even Brobdingnagian, carbonation. There's a nice creaminess to it, but this sucker might even be over-carbonated. Still, I don't mind that so much.
Overall: this is a tasty beer, even if it's not an exemplary quadrupel. It is quite drinkable for its ABV, and it has enough going on to be interesting (if not necessarily for the style).

A: Poured a dark amber with a pillowy white head that left a thin trail of lacing down the sides of the glass. Not as dark as I expected.
S: Aromas of caramel, lemon balm, candy sugar, and spicy yeast were easily detected on the nose. The aroma was not all that reminiscent of most quadrupels, but it was appealing in its own way. Very unique.
T: Opened sweet and silky with notes of lemon balm, candy sugar, caramel, cream, nougat, spiced pear, red apple, and bittersweet herbal notes presumably resulting from the addition of valerian. A pungent, mildly spicy yeast backtaste became evident around mid-palate. The finish was long and smooth with a lingering flourish of lemon balm, caramel, candy sugar, and alcohol flavors.
M: Full-bodied, smooth, and silky. This was a very deceptive ale, as alcoholic warmth was masked. Lacked the slickness of some quadrupels I have tried.
O: This was a very unique quadrupel; in fact, it was more reminiscent of some English barleywines than many Belgian quads. A very intriguing and often overlooked ale.

Served from bottle into a Trappistes Rochefort chalice. Poured a slightly red-orange with a one finger off-white head that subsided to half a finger very slowly. Maintained decent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, sugar, citrus, lemon rine, and dark fruit. The flavor was of sweet malt, dark fruit, alcohol, sugar, citrus, lemon rine, wheat, and bread. It had a medium feel on the palate with very high carbonation. Ovearll this was a decent brew. Based on the aroma I really wasn't expecting much from this brew. However, the flavor was quite complex and pretty good. Not sure how the citrus aspect was supposed to tie into this brew, but it didn't kill it in any way; just didn't enhance it. Worth trying for any fan of the style.

I love this beer. Vintage unknown into 25cl chalice.
A- Brown, like fall leaves or dirt. Active carbonation settles into a tight ring of tiny bubbles.
S- Huge waves of fruity sweetness, plums and cherries. Like a bouquet of flowers.
T- Candi sugar comes on strong, malt, mellow sweet fruit and strong honey. A bit of tobacco and a bit of musty earthiness. Label says 'lemon balm', and the crispness is def. there on the front of the tongue.
M- Smooth, full-bodied, mellow flavors. No sign of ABV. Very expansive flavor profile. Carbonation is dialed in perfectly- light bubbles keep the beer moving nicely.
O- I can't get enough, by far my favorite quad. Worth seeking out.

33cl into a tulip. Poured a nearly transparent garnet butterscotch, fairly light. Aggressive pour required for minor head that receded to the surface rather quick, large bubbles at the base of the glass. Nice lacing.
Aroma is not of a quad. Minor dark fruits, predominately light skinned. Strong sweetness, honey.
Taste surprises, a minor phenolic smokiness rides the length of the flavor. Taste is rather simple, lacks complexity. Again, strong sweetness. The aftertaste while lacking definition fades pleasantly. Warmth from alcohol is restrained. Full bodied mouthfeel.

Aromas are inviting for sure. Dark fruits, sweet caramels, some earthy/funk/woodiness, no alcohol, but it just smells strong.
Tastes follow the nose. Pretty standard Belgian yeastiness, prunes, cherries, raisin, toffee, dark caramels. Yum, I am consuming this way too fast for a 12% beer.
As the beer warms you can detect a slight bit of the alcohol and you can kinda pick out some earthy hop flavors as well. Belgian yeast adds some decent "spice" qualities.

I had this on tap at the Map Room into a tulip. The beer pours a very light and clear maghonby color. Not what I expect when I"m drinking a quad. The aroma and taste are not what I was expecting either. When I think quad I want trappist quad not this. It has quad tendicies you can smell and taste all the inverted sugar here, but not any notes of caramel or dark fruits. overall, it wasn't what I was expecting, aside from that an average beer on its own merits.

Interesting color..kind of a deep orange mahogany, clear through the pours, translucent in the glass..sediment on the bottom...yes, I'm gonna do the conditioned stuff. Sheets of pastel off orange Belgian lacing. Earthy nose that hints that this one is going to be on the thin side. Raisin, figs and plum, a little booze; all quite nice but slightly understated. The flavor matches up quite nicely with the nose. Adequately carbonated, the mouth feel as understated as the nose. REALLY can't believe that this one is 12% ABV. Drinkability??your call. This one will creep up and bite you in the a$$, but crazy incognito. Recommended for those who consider themselves quad-noisseurs. Cheers..glad to find this one at Premier Gourmet in Buffalo.

Reviewed from my notes of a rare cask pour at the Lion's Pride's Belgian Beer Festival. This cask was just tapped moments before I was served a glass; it had been stored in a cooler, so it was at a lower temperature than most cask beers are poured. It has a beautiful creamy copper/brown color. There are two fingers worth of white foam. The head settled slowly to an even skim of white. Perfect lace was left behind. This is exactly how a cask beer should look. It has a subtle aroma; a little cidery, spicy and sweet. It's a good balance of the strong smells you get from a quad and the faint smells from casked beer. The flavor has sweet malts up front, with some crystal sugar and a slight cider taste. There is alcohol and pepper in the finish. It's very unique and tasty. It has a lighter medium body; surprising for a quad, but right in line with a lot of the cask beers I've tried. There isn't much carbonation, but more than other casks, perhaps keeping the cask chilled helped with this. The beer leaves a great sweet coating on my tongue. There are plenty of alcohol vapors as well. It is slightly stickier than I like; I would rate it a 4.25 if I could. This is supremely drinkable, considering the strength, alcohol and spice. It's such a unique beer, I can't really say if it exceeds or conforms to the expectations of any style. It's just great. If you ever see the BBB on cask, get it!

On cask at Max's today.
The beer pours an orange, tannish brown color with OK head retention and lacing. The nose offers up brown sugar, orange and considerable spice. On the palate this beer is definitely on the sweet side, with brown sugar, chocolate and spice. The spice helps to cut through some of the sweetness, but there's no denying that this beer is on the sweet side. Mouthfeel is surprisingly light for the sweetness and alcohol, though on the other hand, there is plenty of flavor. Drinkability is pretty good for the sweetness and alcohol, though there's no denying that a little bit goes a long way.
Nice beer on cask.

Purchased at Ramsey Liquors in the late Summer of 2009, this was originally going to be competing against several other quadrupel style beers in a blind tasting. Now, about six months later, I'll sample this beer between fridge and cellar temperature in a Gouden Carolus chalice. 11.2oz. bottle, Vintage 2002.
Appearance- Due to its mighty strength, this beer only offers a thin, quarter-inch head that rapidly sinks into the surface. A cola-like display of bubbles along the glass walls, complete with their audible hiss and pop as they reach the surface, create a wildly active attraction for the eyes. There is absolutely no lacing to be seen.
Smell- Sugary, over-ripened dark fruits such as figs and dates rush the nose, transforming into a suggestion of cocoa and pralines... getting even better as the beer comes to cellar temperature.
Taste- Lush, sweet candi sugar and a rich malt character flood the tastebuds with delight, while the gentle spices and hops add a zip of stinging, lemony bitterness. The alcohol is a bit hot, even with between 7 and 8 years of bottle conditioning... and the effects are imminent. A few ounces left in this small bottle and I'm feeling no pain.
Mouthfeel/Drinkability- The texture gets better throughout the tasting, going from prickly to a more foamy, rolling carbonation. I add the yeast to the final 2oz. pour, and the edges are softened along with the alcohol heat. An interesting, enjoyable Belgian quad that has withstood the test of time.

Had a bottle for $10 at The Farmhouse in Emmaus, PA. Poured murky brown with a short tan head. 12% is a lot for a Belgian and it shows. This beer is more barleywine than anything, though the Belgian influence is there. The big fig and cocoa malt flavor are certainly rich, but the body is thin and dry enough (like a good quad) to make this drinkable and avoid a syrup-y feeling. Still the flavor isn't terribly complex. I'd call this more of a strong dark as it doesn't resemble your average quad.

Not exactly sure of the year on this one, but I've had it in my cellar for at least 2-3 years. Poured from bottle into a Corsendonk chalice. Beer was an iced tea brown color with a thick, two-finger, tan head. Moderate carbonation and lacing.
Aroma was very sweet candi sugar, vanilla, oak, brown sugar, caramel, but also a touch of grass and citrus. Lots going on in the nose.
Taste was not overly sweet, but lots of malt, sugar, honey, along with lemon, grapes and yeast.
Very bold aroma, but a bit lighter in the taste. Still pretty boozy. Has held up very well. Not your average quad.

purchased on sale at my favorite bottle shop on sale for 3.99. couldnt pass that up! poured into a brand new chimay chalice. the label looks like it was copied on an ancient copier and can hardly be read
A- this one pours out a murky dark brown with lighter highlights the higher up the glass you look. a small khaki colored head forms and lasts the entire length of the beer. it leaves a solid wall of sticky lacing behind after every sip.
S- lots and lots of sweet malts. brown sugar and dark fruits. figs and raisins are the strongest. plums and cherries as well.
T- as with the smell, this one is very sweet. brown sugar loud and clear, followed by lots of ripe dark fruits. cherries, figs, plums, raisins and tobacco. the massive amount of alcohol in this one is very well hidden.
M- medium and nearly full bodied, which is a little thick for the style. a nice lowish level of carbonation which is also unusual. both seem to work for this one however. a moderate warming from the alcohol on its way down.
D- easy to drink and a fine choice to christen my new glass. the alcohol is remarkably well hidden and could have been a problem if i didnt know how strong it was. something ill try to go back and snatch a few more up of. check this one out if you get the chance.

If you suspect celiac disease in any of your patients, a simple and easy serology can test for the disorder. Currently, there are no guidelines for celiac disease testing in patients with infertility, despite evidence that this autoimmune disease exists in 4% to 8% of women with unexplained infertility 1, 2, 3.
It is well-known that it is best to catch celiac disease as early as possible since the diagnosis and treatment can significantly improve an individual's overall well-being.
Furthermore, the screening of pregnant women in at-risk populations and areas of high prevalence has been found to be cost-effective due to the low cost of serological screening when compared to the significant medical expenses associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes 3, 4. Blood tests are the first step in a diagnosis of celiac disease. Healthcare providers should order one or more of a series of blood tests to measure the body's response to gluten. Currently, recommended tests include:
1. Collin, P., Vilska, S., Heinonen, P.K., et al. (1996). Infertility and celiac disease. Gut, 39, 382-384.
2. Meloni, G.F., Dessole, S., Vargiu, N., et al. (1999). The prevalence of celiac disease in infertility. Human Reproduction, 14(11), 2759-2761.
3. Shah, S. & Leffler, D. (2010). Celiac disease: An underappreciated issue in women's health. Journal of Women's Health, 6(5), 1-14.
4. McCarthy, F.P., Khashan, A.S., Quigley, E., et al. (2009). Undiagnosed maternal celiac disease in pregnancy and an increased risk of fetal growth restriction. Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology, 43, 792-793.

Are new Dropbox changes enough for the enterprise market?
Dropbox has been one of the more effective cloud computing tools, and has gained a considerable following amongst personal users wishing to store files somewhere in the cloud. With over 100 million users, it's an incredibly popular service.
What they've largely failed to achieve however is any kind of corporate following, despite the company themselves claiming to be in use in 95% of Fortune 500 companies. The company are making a concerted effort to change all that with some new updates however.
Their enterprise offering revolves around Dropbox for Teams. The service offers unlimited storage for teams using it for business use. Whilst nice, it lacks some key administrative controls that hamper its usefulness, not to mention offering little in the way of social interaction.
They have attempted to improve the product in two key areas:
- More visibility of what users are doing
- More control over sharing features
The changes now offer administrators a couple of new tools to help address these issues.
instance, they can now see detailed activity for either individual
users or indeed specific groups. In a nice security feature, admins can
block particular devices from accessing the Dropbox account, say if a
member lost their phone for instance.
Admins can also control
sharing permissions across either individuals or teams. So for
instance, they can now determine whether users can share folders or
links outside of the group.
The changes are indeed welcome, but I'm still far from convinced that it will mean Dropbox can start competing for enterprise contracts against more enterprise-focused competitors like Box, Egnyte, and Huddle.

losing the gold to American tennis star Serena Williams.
Early Life
Tennis player Maria Sharapova was born on April 19, 1987, in Nyagan, Siberia, Russia. Sharapova began playing tennis as a young child, and at age 9 was taken by her father to Florida, where she enrolled at a tennis academy.
Turning Pro
Sharapova turned professional at 14, claimed her first WTA victory at the 2003 AIG Japan Open and also reached the fourth round at Wimbledon on her first attempt during the same year. Success came in 2004 when she won the singles title there, becoming Russia's first woman Wimbledon champion. At the end of 2004 she added the WTA Championship title to her achievements. She was ranked No. 4 at the start of 2006 and that year won the US Open.
Athletic Accomplishments
In 2007, a shoulder injury sidelined Sharapova and contributed to a series of losses, but she was still ranked among the top 5 women's tennis players at the end of that year. Her shoulder injury continued to plague her game, sidelining her in 2008. In 2009, Sharapova had surgery to repair the injury and after a year of rehabilitation and a string of losses, she started to make a comeback in 2011 when she finished the year ranked 4, her first top 5 finish since 2007.
In June 2012, Sharapova defeated Sara Errani in the women's French Open, becoming the 10th woman to complete a career Grand Slam, winning all four major tennis tournaments.
At the 2012 Summer Olympic Games—Sharapova's Olympic debut—she won a silver medal in women's singles, losing the gold to American tennis star Serena Williams. Sharapova came in second to Williams the following year at the French Open. She lost the singles titles to Williams in the finals. That June, Sharapova made a less-than-impressive showing at Wimbledon. She only made it as far as the second round of competition.
Personal Life
Off the court, Sharapova's beauty and popular appeal have led to major commercial endorsements with companies including Nike and Tiffany & Co. Sharapova began a relationship with Slovenian professional basketball player Sasha Vujacic in 2009. After a year of dating, the couple announced that they were engaged in October 2010. During a post-match conference at the 2012 U.S. Open, she announced that the engagement was off and that her relationship with Vujacic had ended.

Above: A sod house!

Love this one above.
These ads crack me up.

1950's pink and brown ovens
They had a million salt and pepper shakers.
My favorites were the peas in a pod :-)
There was so much more than I'm posting here, of course. They had planes, trolleys, trains, and dishes displayed by decade, to name a few.
If you decide to take a trip to Pioneer Village I highly recommend Microtel Inn & Suites. It didn't have a pool, but the suite we stayed in was new, clean, hip, and had a little kitchenette.
