look: 4.5 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured from a bottle without freshness date into a pint glass. Rich thick tan head, several fingers. Lots of sticky lacing. Mahogany color. Very nice appearance. Slightly sweet smell but overall not much aroma. Slightly burnt, bready, caramel taste up front followed by mild hops and dry finish, with ? rye afertaste. Clean crisp feel. Nicely complex without being overwhelming. Happily had 2-3 at a time.

4.03/5 rDev +3.9%
look: 4.5 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
12oz. bottle poured into a porter glass.
A- a very dark brown, with amber hues when held to light. A nice khaki head laces very nicely.
S- Some pumpernickel bread with a cocoa and chicory sweetness there as well. Some leafy hops are detectable. Fruity esters lie well underneath. Pretty straight forward brown ale here.
T- Not as dark on the flavor (as the smell) and really nice and complex for a brown. A dark bread base is backed up by cocoa, chicory, coffee, a slight nuttiness, and some fruity yeast notes. Sweetness reminds me of a molasses, but is appropriately restrained. Finishes with a mild leafy/citric hop note.
M- Really nice and slick, slightly creamy. Dries nice on the back end, but not crushingly so.
O- New England Breweries seem to really have brown ales down. (thinking Smuttynose here) Really nice offering from Ipswich.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.75 | overall: 4
A: Pours a slightly hazy dark amber in color with light to moderate amounts of gentle visible carbonation and some amber + golden orange highlights. The beer has a two finger tall foamy tan head that reduces to a large cap of thick film and a thin film covering the remainder of the surface of the beer with a medium thick ring at the edges of the glass. Significant amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate aromas of roasted and toasted malts with a light hint of char. Light to moderate aromas of pine/resin hops.
T: Upfront there is a moderate to strong flavor of roasted and toasted malts with light flavors of char. There are moderate flavors of pine/resin hops in the finish which impart a moderate amount of lingering bitterness.
M: Medium bodied with moderate amounts of carbonation. LIght to moderate amounts of dryness in the finish.
O: Pretty hoppy for an American Brown Ale with a pretty big flavor profile - enjoyable and pretty easy to drink.

Ipswich Dark Ale has a medium, off-white head, a caramel color, lots of streaming bubbles, and thin lacing left on the glass. The aroma is of caramel, sweetness, and light cocoa. Taste is of caramel, sweetness, cocoa powder, and mild bitterness. Mouthfeel is medium and a little bit slick. Ipswich Dark Ale finishes dry, sweet, and very drinkable. I think it's really delicious!

look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 2.5 | feel: 3 | overall: 2.5
Poured from the bottle into a nonic pint glass. Eeek old bottle! 3/11/2013.
Nice deep chestnut brown color, with creamy light white and tan coffee like head. Head is three fingers tall lots of retention, and soapy whipped up lacing. Pretty nice looking brown.
Great nose on this. Good herbal sweetness, with hints of milk chocolate and toffee. Great brown like spices and cinnamon and nutmeg aromas, very solid and impressive.
First taste. What the heck? Palate feel. Watery and very weak. Malt, non existent, no hinting taste at all from the nose of classic brown ale flavors. No nutty, chocolate, or even minor roasty quality. Slightly acrid, somewhat sour grain and astringent and oil zest bitterness and not of a good hop like quality..
This is really a disappointing brown.

Temple Run 2 22.214.171.124 Review
Passing time playing games with your smartphone or tablet requires applications that are quick to learn and fun. Temple Run's excellent graphics and easy-yet-satisfying gameplay make it a good option for casual gamers.
Temple Run comes as a free application, but payment is required for additional power-ups. Installation through the Google Play store completed quickly, and there were no log-ins required to play the game. The startup menu's graphics are well designed, as are those for the game, itself. The selection to start a new game was easy to find and well labeled. In terms of play, the … Read more

While the weather forecast might not indicate spring is on the way, luckily the Grand Rapids arts scene goes by the calendar and new shows, exhibits and experiences are popping up like tulips. Kicking...more
It begins with the land. Rich soil, abundant fresh water and the climate-moderating effect of Lake Michigan make this one of the world's finest growing regions. As a result, Grand Rapids is surrounded by hundreds of family farms that harvest everything from apples and asparagus to strawberries and sweet corn. Many local restaurateurs have been purchasing fresh produce, meats and dairy products from these farms for years, making Grand Rapids an early model for the farm-to-table movement.
Of course, the quality of the ingredients must be matched by quality of the preparation to create a truly memorable meal. Here, too, Grand Rapids excels.
The Secchia Institute for Culinary Education at Grand Rapids Community College is one of the nation's most respected culinary schools. Students come to Secchia from around the country and around the world, and many choose to stay in Grand Rapids once they've earned their diplomas.
These and other creative chefs are responsible for the many culinary honors Grand Rapids has earned, from "America's best burger" at Stella's Lounge (per GQ Magazine) to "1 of America's 101 most crazy-awesome new desserts" at Grove Restaurant (New York Magazine).

A shop fifty years in the making! For half a century Doctor Who has shown us a universe of wild imagination - stories which have thrilled, moved, scared, challenged and inspired us. Adventures across time and space with one of the BBC's greatest figures, a man of intellect and romance, courage, and wonderful oddness: the Doctor.
In this shop you can find every episode of Doctor Who ever made (well, almost) on DVD… books for children and adults, from thrilling adventures to loving in-depth analysis… toys, games, and action figures which put the storytelling in your hands… and all sorts of merchandise celebrating love for the show, from Adipose stress-balls to Zygon cardboard cut-outs. (Well, no Zygons. That we know of. But if any of your cardboard stand-ups suddenly change after you buy them, don't say we didn't warn you…)
You'll be surprised just how far the Doctor Who universe stretches! Want a book by Douglas Adams, Eoin Colfer, or Jenny Colgan? They're only some of the whole generation of writers who've done Doctor Who books. An action figure from that Tom Baker story which put you - or your parents - behind the sofa in 1975?
Here in the shop, in loving detail. A DVD of the story that made you think "blimey, that David Tennant Doctor, he's pretty cool, isn't he"? A plush TARDIS toy, a Weeping Angel micro-figure, or sonic screwdriver construction set? Stories from Doctors whose eras you've never seen? All here, all the time.
You can spend a lifetime following the Doctor - some people have already spent fifty years - and still never run out of stories and things to discover. Because the deeper you get into Doctor Who… the bigger it gets on the inside.
That's the real beauty of Doctor Who. It gets stories into your head. Every DVD, every action figure, every book or game or toy or 5" figure or remote-control Dalek in this whole shop - if you look at them right, they'll make you imagine something of your own. And after enough of that, you might even write a book… make a movie of your own on DVD… design a real working robot… or save the world. And the universe gets just that little bit bigger and richer - thanks to you!

[UPDATE] Daily feature and front page again. O__O;;;
I'm speechless..... Thanks everybody. Here's hoping the rest of the series is just as successful. ^_^
Best viewed at medium quality.
After a month of working on and off it, Episode 2 of my Mario/DBZ parody is completed.
I had a bit of trouble getting it onto Newgrounds though. Since the original swf file was over 5 megs, so I had to lower the sound quality and make a few alterations to the sprites. With any luck it won't make it less enjoyable.
The action part of this series kicks off with this episode, and hopefully the fight scenes will get better the more I practice.
I was surprised everyone enjoyed the first episode, which is nothing compared to this one in my opinion.
Hope you all enjoy, and tune in to my future installments.
Rated 5 / 5 stars June 23, 2012
cool but i dont get the end i mena of course its sonic and shadow also after the sries you should follow up with a game or 2

Schools shut down after man appears in camouflage
Just in case you were thinking about it, you might want to reconsider walking into a school at 6 a.m. dressed in camouflage, a flak jacket, and a holster.
When a 21-year-old airman from the Selfridge Air National Guard appeared at L'Anse Creuse High School in Harrison Twp. this morning, he caused several schools to shutdown.
From the Port Huron Times Herald:
The man was not carrying a gun. He left the school, encountered a counselor in the parking lot, and then left for his girlfriend's house in Harrison Township, where sheriff's deputies found him.
His visit set off a chain of events that led to the school closing before students were able to come in, said L'Anse Creuse Schools spokeswoman Kelly Allen.
"I think it was just poor judgment," said Wickersham, "going to the school dressed like that."
The district also closed the nearby Middle School Central and Graham Elementary School. As the high school students were to take the ACT today, they were moved to another building, said Allen. District officials have not said if the testing will go on as planned.

The pennycandystore beyond the El
is where i first
fell in love
with unreality
Jellybeans glowed in the semi-gloom
of that september afternoon
A cat upon the counter moved among
the licorice sticks
and tootsie rolls
and Oh Boy Gum
Outside the leaves were falling as they died
A wind had blown away the sun
A girl ran in
Her hair was rainy
Her breasts were breathless in the little room
Outside the leaves were falling

iOS 7 snags 5M social-media mentions in one day
iOS 7 lit up the social networks this week.
On its September 18 launch day alone, the new version of Apple's mobile OS grabbed more than 5 million mentions among social-media users, according to social media agency We Are Social. In comparison, iOS 6 captured only 749,505 mentions during its launch day last year.
Part of the gain in mentions was certainly due to the rising use of social networks, the firm said on Friday. But the data also shows that iOS 7 was a major topic of conversation.

Yan's Garden piques palates with lunch and dinner menus brimming with Mandarin and Cantonese classics crafted using fresh ingredients and no MSG. Warm up meat macerators on crisp vegetarian egg rolls ($4.95) before graduating to the main meal event with large portions of sweet and sour pork ($8.50) or chicken in hot and spicy garlic sauce ($8.50). The Dragon and Phoenix plate flies to tables to slay hunger with a savory synthesis of chicken breast, prawns, bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and vegetables ($10.75), and white wine adds a splash of sophistication and inebriation to the seafood combination's stir-fried fusion of fresh fish, scallops, shrimp, mushrooms, and snow peas ($14.25). Traditionalists favoring fried rice ($6.25–$8.50) or egg foo young ($8.25–$9.50) can find the savory standbys prepared with a choice of pork, chicken, or beef, as braised tofu ($9.25) sizzles to the excitement of both vegetarians and swooning soy beans.
Praised by reviewers from the Contra Costa Times and Diabolo Magazine for its freshness, skillfully assembled flavors, and perfectly cooked seafood and duck, Zen Restaurant has been making a splash since it opened. Chefs are adept at fusing a variety of culinary influences culled from across Asia, resulting in dishes such as Vietnamese shrimp-avocado rolls, Thai red curry sauce, Mongolian beef, Chinese crispy pork, and Singapore noodles. Diners enjoy their food in a warmly lit space, featuring hardwood floors, a bright red accent wall, and contemporary furnishings.
Behind the kitchen doors, flaming pans roast orders of meats, seafood, and seasonal vegetables to reflect the culinary traditions of Chinese culture. In addition to the sweet, sour, and savory sauces that coat the dishes' steamed white or brown rice, the cooks can create entrees with enough fiery spice to bring tears to the eyes of a potato. To accompany each meal, the restaurant's bar slides over domestic and imported beers, and glasses of wine from a California-centric list that features fruit-forward reds alongside palate-cooling whites.
Inside an environmentally friendly dining room outfitted with fast-growing bamboo floors and eco-safe paint, patrons sup on sustainable, authentic Chinese dishes made from organically grown ingredients. Intricate lighting fixtures cast patterned shadows over diners as they tuck into aromatic platters of stir-fried smoked pork belly, wok-tossed seafood, or braised tofu prepared from recipes brought over from China 20 years ago and furnished with organic meats and produce from local farms and markets.
Mikado Bistro's foodsmiths craft flaming wokfuls of favorite Chinese and Japanese dishes, along with plating delicate slices of fresh sushi. Diners can kick off consumption with the hearty crunch of fried wontons ($3.95), and edamame's ($2.95) boiled soybeans spring from their ancestral pods into waiting mouths. Chopsticks peck like foraging antique hunters at signature sushi rolls, such as the Golden Phoenix, a pile of slender disks of unagi, cucumber, crab, tuna, and avocado ($14.95) traditionally served as still-flaming ashes. Patrons can dive into two-item bento boxes ($11.95) filled with such goodies as vegetable tempura, chicken teriyaki, or sushi rolls, or scoop up helpings of succulent mu shu pork ($6.95) with chewy pancakes.
At Chef's Experience China Bistro, patrons scan a formidable menu of Chinese fare in a dining room expansive enough to house a waterfall and a fig tree. Visitors converse between warmly lit walls of orange and mustard as they prime palates with starters such as chicken lettuce wraps, a trio of delicate fried pancakes enveloping smoked salmon and avocado. In the seafood chow mein, fried noodles do their best to mimic eddies swirling fish, shrimp, and scallops together with seasoned vegetables. A curried blend of hot Singapore-style noodles fresh off the wok cushions shrimp, chicken, vegetables, and egg, and the mango chicken situates simmered mango and vegetables beside morsels of poultry sautéed in mango sauce. Like a really lazy Susan, the restaurant's list of California wines rotates monthly, filling glasses with evolving selections of merlot, cabernet sauvignon, and chardonnay.

Experiencing occasional anxiety is a normal part of life. However, people with anxiety disorders frequently have intense, excessive worry and irrational fear about everyday situations. These feelings interfere with daily activities, are difficult to control and can last a long time. Symptoms may start during childhood or the teen years and continue into adulthood.
Examples of anxiety disorders include social anxiety disorder (social phobia), obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), panic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), specific phobias and separation anxiety disorder.
Treatment may include a type of psychotherapy that teaches you to view and respond to challenging situations in a more effective way (cognitive behavioral therapy), lifestyle changes and, if needed, medications. Sometimes, anxiety results from a medical condition that needs treatment.
Whatever form of anxiety you have, treatment can help.
Common anxiety signs and symptoms include:
Several types of anxiety disorders exist:
See your doctor if:
Your worries may not go away on their own, and they may actually get worse over time if you don't seek help. See your doctor or a mental health provider before your anxiety gets worse. It may be easier to treat if you address it early.
As with many mental health conditions, the exact cause of anxiety disorders isn't fully understood. Life experiences such as traumatic events appear to trigger anxiety disorders in people who are already prone to becoming anxious. Inherited traits also are a factor.
For some people, anxiety is linked to an underlying health issue. In some cases, anxiety signs and symptoms are the first indicators that you have a medical illness. If your doctor suspects your anxiety may have a medical cause, he or she may order lab tests and other tests to look for signs of a problem.
Physical problems that can be linked to anxiety include:
It's more likely that your anxiety may be due to an underlying medical condition if:
These factors may increase your risk of developing an anxiety disorder:
Having an anxiety disorder does more than make you worry. It can also lead to, or worsen, other mental and physical health conditions, such as:
You may start by seeing your family doctor or a general practitioner to find out if your anxiety could be related to your physical health. Your doctor can check for signs of an underlying illness that may need treatment.
However, you may need to see a specialist if you have severe anxiety. A psychiatrist is a medical doctor who specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. A psychologist and certain other mental health providers can diagnose anxiety and provide counseling (psychotherapy).
Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor or mental health provider.
Prepare and take this information with you:
For anxiety, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Don't hesitate to ask questions during your appointment.
Your doctor will do a physical exam and ask you a number of questions, such as:
To help diagnose an anxiety disorder and rule out other conditions, your doctor or mental health provider may have you fill out a psychological questionnaire. Your doctor will probably do a physical exam to look for signs that your anxiety might be linked to a medical condition.
To be diagnosed with an anxiety disorder, you must meet criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment. Symptoms — and diagnostic criteria — differ for each type of anxiety disorder.
Anxiety disorders often occur along with other mental health problems — such as depression or substance abuse — which can make diagnosis and treatment more challenging.
The two main treatments for anxiety disorders are behavior therapy (psychotherapy) and medications. You may benefit most from a combination of the two. It may take some trial and error to discover exactly what treatments work best for you.
Also known as behavior or talk therapy or psychological counseling, psychotherapy involves working with a therapist to reduce your anxiety symptoms. It can be an effective treatment for anxiety.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most effective forms of psychotherapy for anxiety disorders. Generally a short-term treatment, cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on teaching you specific skills to gradually return to the activities you have avoided because of anxiety. Through this process, your symptoms improve as you build upon your initial success.
Several different types of medications are used to treat anxiety disorders, including those below. Talk with your doctor about benefits, risks and possible side effects.
While most people with anxiety disorders need psychotherapy or medications to get anxiety under control, lifestyle changes also can make a difference. Here's what you can do:
Several herbal remedies have been studied as a treatment for anxiety, such as kava, valerian and passionflower, but more research is needed to understand the risks and benefits. Here's what researchers know — and don't know:
Before taking herbal remedies or supplements, talk to your doctor to make sure they're safe for you and won't interact with any medications you take.
To cope with anxiety disorder, here's what you can do:
There's no way to predict for certain what will cause someone to develop an anxiety disorder in the first place, but you can take steps to reduce the impact of symptoms if you're anxious:

Why Choose Mayo Clinic
What Sets Mayo Clinic Apart
Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., is ranked among the Best Hospitals for psychiatry by U.S. News & World Report.
Mayo Clinic's Pediatric Anxiety Disorders Clinic includes a comprehensive, one-day assessment clinic for children and teens with heightened anxiety, fears, nervousness and worry. Clinic staff thoroughly evaluate your child, providing diagnosis and treatment recommendations in a timely manner. During the evaluation, the care team conducts an interview that focuses on identifying anxious thoughts, physical sensations and behaviors.
In cases where anxiety is caused by or occurs with a medical illness, a doctor also performs a physical exam during the initial evaluation. A child and adolescent psychologist and psychiatrist who specialize in anxiety disorders staff the clinic. This staffing allows for an integrated medical and psychological understanding of your child's symptoms.
The two main treatments for anxiety disorders are medications and psychological counseling (psychotherapy). Several different types of medications are available. Also known as talk therapy, psychotherapy involves working out underlying stresses and concerns and making behavior changes. You may benefit most from a combination of these two types of treatment. After a thorough evaluation, Mayo Clinic's experts in psychiatry and psychology will tailor a treatment plan specifically to your needs.
At Mayo Clinic, parents are thoroughly involved in their child's diagnosis and treatment sessions from beginning to end. Parents learn how to effectively support children during anxiety-inducing situations or periods. Mayo Clinic's Pediatric Anxiety Disorders Clinic provides advanced, evidence-based medical and psychological treatment for anxiety disorders.
Your child or teen can receive cognitive behavioral therapy and medication management on an outpatient basis. Psychotherapy consists mainly of exposure-based cognitive behavioral therapy. This treatment teaches children skills to manage their anxiety and teaches parents to effectively provide support. With these tools in place, the child and therapist develop a list of situations that cause the child to feel anxious. With the help of the therapist, the child then gradually faces these fears and learns how to manage them. Treatment typically consists of six to 12 sessions completed on a weekly basis.
Treatment for children and teens who have obsessive-compulsive disorder, as well as other symptoms, is available in an intensive format for families unable to spend extended time at Mayo Clinic. Treatment can be provided in a 10-session format over five days. (4) The goals of these intensive treatments are to:
Follow-up care is provided by phone.
Mayo Clinic works with hundreds of insurance companies and is an in-network provider for millions of people. In most cases, Mayo Clinic doesn't require a physician referral. Some insurers require referrals or may have additional requirements for certain medical care. All appointments are prioritized on the basis of medical need.
At Mayo Clinic in Arizona, specialists see adults with anxiety disorders if a Mayo Clinic doctor is treating them for other medical conditions and refers them to psychiatry and psychology.
At Mayo Clinic in Florida, specialists see adults with anxiety disorders if a Mayo Clinic doctor is treating them for other medical conditions and refers them to psychiatry and psychology.
Specialists in psychiatry and psychology at Mayo Clinic in Minnesota treat children and adults with anxiety disorders.
For appointments or more information, call the Central Appointment Office at 507-538-3270 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. Central time, Monday through Friday or complete an online appointment request form.
Mayo Clinic in Minnesota has a Pediatric Anxiety Disorders Clinic dedicated to the care of children and teens.
See information on patient services at the three Mayo Clinic locations, including transportation options and lodging.
Researchers are working to develop and improve diagnosis and treatment tools for anxiety disorders in children. Studies include:
See a list of publications by Mayo doctors on anxiety disorders on PubMed, a service of the National Library of Medicine.

Well, yes it is the federal government's place to tell Internet providers how to run their business, because those providers are engaging in interstate commerce. That is regulated by the feds. If you don't want to be regulated by them, you don't have to participate in interstate commerce.
Big corporations are not in the habit of acting for the good of the customer. They have one clearly stated goal: make money for the stockholders and devil take the hindmost.

Awesome idea! Thanks so much for sharing this
This video tutorial shows a very simple way to spice up an updo hairstyle, for any holiday occasion. This one happens to be for Valentine's Day.
In this video (you can use Messy Bun #1 or Messy Bun #2), I use a thin ribbon cut into small strips (length can vary), and then tie them onto bobby pins. You can tie the ribbons into tiny bows if you would like, but I did not have time when I filmed this tutorial. If you make the ribbons longer… you can curl them by running the edge of scissors along the ribbon so that they look like curly-q's. Then I place the bobby pins throughout the messy bun until the hair style looks right.
Items Needed: 6-8 small bobby pins, thin colored ribbon, scissors
Time Requirement: 5+ minutes
Skill Level: Easy
* Note from Mindy: Don't forget to follow us on BlogLovin, a new easy-to-use blog reader!

I have had it cut into a style, but it never looks fixed, or if fixed it doesn't look good for long. I have had so much fun the last couple of days playing with her hair, and having her look BEAUTIFUL all day!! We did this messy bun with ribbons to day and got so many compliments! Thank you SO much for taking the time to help others!

USK Blex Prague gave their fans a night to remember. The Czech side showed the worst performance of this season and lost its first game in the FIBA Europe Cup.
Thanks to the 24-point win in the first game, however, USK Prague qualified to the next round.
The Czech side dominated the court from the very beginning of the game.
Prague made a 7:0 run in the first four minutes and showed everyone that here is no doubt who would play the main role.

CHRISTIANSBURG, Va. —
The case against a man charged with shooting two women at a community college inside a Christiansburg mall is headed to a grand jury.
Media outlets report that 19-year-old Neil MacInnis waived his right to a preliminary hearing in Montgomery County General District Court on Tuesday.
MacInnis faces malicious wounding and weapons charges in the April 12 shooting at a satellite campus of New River Community College.
Part-time employee Taylor Sharpe and student Kristina Bousserghine were shot before the suspect was subdued by an off-duty security guard and Christiansburg police officers. The women are recovering from their injuries. Both attended Tuesday's hearing.
MacInnis was a student at the college. He is being held at Western Virginia Regional Jail.

My Party
- 50 guests
- 07 October 2012
- Friend's Home / Los Angeles / California / United States
Party Recap...
For this year's Halloween party, I once again partnered with buddy, Monika from Hello Brielle. We loved the idea of black and white and something forresty and worked out party around that.
Almost all decor came from the Dollar Tree, our own personal items at home, were borrowed from friends, or were DIY projects made by us (or our friends).
Since there were so many people coming, we did a soup pot-luck, then provided kid's food and a dessert table. We also had a popcorn bar. For drinks, we served water, spiced apple cider and pumpkin spice latte in a crock pot.
Kid's food included mummy hot dogs, ghost string cheese, apple-marshmallow mouths, and ghost poop (aka Pirate's Booty).
The dessert table featured:
Spider Truffles (find tutorial here)
Meringue Ghosts
Creepy Cupcakes
White Pumpkin Truffles (I used Erin's Food Files' recipe, then stuck a pretzel stick in the top for a stem)
Caramel Apples
Candies: Black Licorice, Candy Sticks, Lindor Chocolates, Yogurt Pretzels
We had a number of activities including a costume contest (complete with runway), ghost bowling, pumpkin painting, and donuts on a string.

Press Release Highlights –
MSNBC'S "GROWING HOPE" TO 9TH ANNUAL JAZZ IN THE GARDENS MUSIC FESTIVAL March 15th & 16th, 2014
Featuring MSNBC Hosts Ed Schultz of "The Ed Show", Joy Reid of "The Reid Report" and Touré of "The Cycle"
MIAMI GARDENS, FL. – March 4, 2014 - The City of Miami Gardens is proud to welcome MSNBC, the fastest growing cable news network in the country, to its 9th annual Jazz in the Gardens music festival at Sun Life Stadium March 15-16, 2014.
MSNBC will host a unique fan experience for Jazz in the Garden festival attendees. Network hosts Ed Schultz of "The Ed Show," Joy Reid of "The Reid Report", and Touré, co-host of "The Cycle", will contribute to the festivities. Attendees will be able to meet show hosts, receive giveaways and participate in the "Growing Hope" experience. Coverage of the event and Growing Hope will be available on msnbc.com and theGrio.com.
MSNBC kicks off its multi-market "Growing Hope" tour at the festival. The tour, which will reach colleges, local festivals and events across the country, is a cornerstone of MSNBC's year-long national "Growing Hope" initiative inviting people to share hopes for their community and speak out about issues that matter to them. By sharing hopes on-line, at an event, through social media, we can come together as a community. And as a community we have the power to make a difference.
"As an avid MSNBC viewer I am personally thrilled to meet some of the hosts I enjoy watching on the network. As the Mayor of the beautiful City of Miami Gardens, and on behalf of the City Council, we are honored to team up with MSNBC as they launch this important campaign inspired by hope and volunteerism," said Miami Gardens Mayor Oliver Gilbert III.
"This is a great opportunity to meet our fans in Miami. We have seen and experienced the powerful connection MSNBC has with our community. Through 'Growing Hope,' we will turn that connection into a force for good," said Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC.
MSNBC joins an already star studded line-up of national artists which includes Grammy Award winners LL Cool J, Jamie Foxx and Anthony Hamilton, bass guitar legend Stanley Clarke, the beloved Maze Featuring Frankie Beverly, R&B artist Trey Songz, original Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland, R&B funk group Mint Condition, six octave vocal songstress Rachelle Farrell and 2014 Grammy nominee jazz artist Boney James.
Continuing the magical annual tradition, Jazz in the Gardens, powered by Music Choice and hosted by D.L. Hughley, celebrates its ninth year as one of the most highly regarded and anticipated music events in the country. In 2013, more than 63,000 fans attended, attracting both locals and thousands of out-of-towners to the beautiful City of Miami Gardens. The 2014 Jazz in the Gardens will surely surpass last years' experience with another illustrious lineup that continues to make this festival second to none. The weekend exeperience includes pre-festival events; the Women's Impact Conference & Luncheon at Shulas Hotel & Golf Club featuring actress Sheryl Lee Ralph and the Official Opening Night Party with old school funk performances by the Dazz Band and the S.O.S Band.
Sponsors of the 9th Annual Jazz in the Gardens include Presenting Sponsor Music Choice; Platinum sponsors SunLife Stadium, Miami Dolphins, Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau, Volkswagen; Gold Sponsors MSNBC, Comcast, Tootsies, WHQT, ADT and the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau.

The Asheville Metropolitan Area — consisting of Buncombe, Haywood, Madison, and Henderson counties — saw unemployment rise from 6.8 to 7.1 percent. Buncombe's unemployment remained unchanged at 6.8 percent. However, the metro area added 800 jobs, with notable increases in the trade/transport/utilities, leisure/hospitality, and health/education sectors.
Unemployment can sometimes increase as an economy picks back up, as people who had previously stopped looking for work entirely start trying to find a job again. But statewide, the number of employed decreased during November. The numbers are not adjusted to reflect seasonal shifts in employment.

I returned these cushions because I needed deep cushions for my wicker chairs and the add stated they were 5 inches deep when they were really only 3 inches deep, to low for my chairs. Colors and material were fine. They charged me return shipping when this was not my fault but theirs, when I complained they did credit me the shipping. Also, I wasn't happy that they don't have a 800 no. to call, but they did email be back fairly prompt.
I bought these cushions because everywhere I went this year to find cushions for my wicker chairs were all sold out. Good thing they were! I absolutely love these cushions! The design is perfect for what I was looking to do and the quality is top notch. Plus they're made in the USA which is always nice too. Thanks Overstock for carrying such variety and quality!!
Exactly what I wanted. I saw them elsewhere, but was going to spend $40+ in shipping. Very comfortable.
Very thick and comfortable. Excellent quality. Thank you.
These outdoor cushions are very nice, a great value.
I was disappointed to have to return the cushions as they did not fit my wicker chairs. My chairs are a little smaller than average. But I really liked the set. Pretty and versatile colors, great quality.
These 2 cushions were great value for the price. Cut right (see review of yellow round cushions :( ), heavy-duty material, significant stuffing. Expect them to hold up in the weather. Nice!
They are very nice. the colors all go well together.I am very satisfied, thanks

SERCA Pump Optimizes Ca Release by a Mechanism Independent of Store Filling in Smooth Muscle Cells Biophysical Journal, Volume 85, Issue 1, 1 July 2003, Pages 370-380 Leticia Gómez-Viquez, Guadalupe Guerrero-Serna, Ubaldo García and Agustín Guerrero-Hernández Abstract Thapsigargin-sensitive sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ pumps (SERCAs) are involved in maintaining and replenishing agonist-sensitive internal stores. Although it has been assumed that release channels act independently of SERCA pumps, there are data suggesting the opposite. Our aim was to study the relationship between SERCA pumps and the release channels in smooth muscle cells. To this end, we have rapidly blocked SERCA pumps with thapsigargin, to avoid depletion of the internal Ca2+ stores, and induced Ca2+ release with either caffeine, to open ryanodine receptors, or acetylcholine, to open inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptors. Blocking SERCA pumps produced smaller and slower agonist-induced [Ca2+]i responses. We determined the Ca2+ level of the internal stores both indirectly, measuring the frequency of spontaneous transient outward currents, and directly, using Mag-Fura-2, and demonstrated that the inhibition of SERCA pumps did not produce a reduction of the sarco/endoplasmic reticulum Ca2+ levels to explain the decrease in the agonist-induced Ca2+ responses. It appears that SERCA pumps are involved in sustaining agonist-induced Ca2+ release by a mechanism that involves the modulation of Ca2+ availability in the lumen of the internal stores.

Release-Activated Ca Transport in Neurons of Frog Sympathetic Ganglia Neuron, Volume 19, Issue 2, 1 August 1997, Pages 403-419 Zoltán Cseresnyés, Alexander I. Bustamante, Michael G. Klein and Martin F. Schneider Summary Frog sympathetic ganglion neurons exhibit a novel Ca2+ uptake mechanism, release-activated calcium transport or RACT, which is manifest in both cytosolic and store [Ca2+] signals as greatly accelerated Ca2+ uptake after Ca2+ release from internal stores. RACT is activated by Ca2+ release but not by Ca2+ entry and serves to selectively refill Ca2+ stores after release. RACT lowers cytosolic [Ca2+] with a rate constant about 1.6 times that of the SERCA pump with empty ER. RACT is thapsigargin-insensitive, was eliminated by ryanodine, but was not affected by blocking mitochondrial or plasma membrane Ca2+ transport. A Ca2+ flux model with RACT in the ER membrane reproduced the cytosolic and store [Ca2+] responses to all stimuli. Summary | Full Text | PDF (392 kb) |
Divergent Functional Properties of Ryanodine Receptor Types 1 and 3 Expressed in a Myogenic Cell Line Biophysical Journal, Volume 79, Issue 5, 1 November 2000, Pages 2509-2525 James D. Fessenden, Yaming Wang, Rennee A. Moore, S. R. Wayne Chen, Paul D. Allen and Isaac N. Pessah Abstract Of the three known ryanodine receptor (RyR) isoforms expressed in muscle, RyR1 and RyR2 have well-defined roles in contraction. However, studies on mammalian RyR3 have been difficult because of low expression levels relative to RyR1 or RyR2. Using the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) helper-free amplicon system, we expressed either RyR1 or RyR3 in 1B5 RyR-deficient myotubes. Western blot analysis revealed that RyR1- or RyR3-transduced cells expressed the appropriate RyR isoform of the correct molecular mass. Although RyR1 channels exhibited the expected unitary conductance for Cs+ in bilayer lipid membranes, 74 of 88 RyR3 channels exhibited pronounced subconductance behavior. Western blot analysis with an FKBP12/12.6-selective antibody reveals that differences in gating behavior exhibited by RyR1 and RyR3 may be, in part, the result of lower affinity of RyR3 for FKBP12. In calcium imaging studies, RyR1 restored skeletal-type excitation-contraction coupling, whereas RyR3 did not. Although RyR3-expressing myotubes were more sensitive to caffeine than those expressing RyR1, they were much less sensitive to 4-chloro-m-cresol (CMC). In RyR1-expressing cells, regenerative calcium oscillations were observed in response to caffeine and CMC but were never seen in RyR3-expressing 1B5 cells. In [3H]ryanodine binding studies, only RyR1 exhibited sensitivity to CMC, but both RyR isoforms responded to caffeine. These functional differences between RyR1 and RyR3 expressed in a mammalian muscle context may reflect differences in association with accessory proteins, especially FKBP12, as well as structural differences in modulator binding sites.

We report that caffeine, in millimolar concentrations, interacts strongly with four common calcium indicator dyes: mag-fura-2, magnesium green, fura-2, and fluo-3. Fluorescence intensities are either noticeably enhanced (mag-fura-2, fura-2) or diminished (magnesium green, fluo-3). The caffeine-induced changes in the fluorescence spectra are clearly distinct from those of metal ion binding at the indicator chelation sites. Binding affinities for calcium of either mag-fura-2 or magnesium green increased only slightly in the presence of caffeine. Caffeine also alters the fluorescence intensities of two other fluorescent dyes lacking a chelation site, fluorescein and sulforhodamine 101, implicating the fluorophore itself as the interaction site for caffeine. In the absence of caffeine, variation of solution hydrophobicity by means of water/dioxane mixtures yielded results similar to those for caffeine. These observations suggest that hydrophobic substances, in general, can alter dye fluorescence in a dye-specific manner. For the particular case of caffeine, and perhaps other commonly used pharmacological agents, the dye interactions can seriously distort fluorescence measurements of intracellular ion concentrations with metal indicator dyes.

Southland Ultimatum The First Shot Fired in NCAA Realignment?
, 06-04-2010 at 05:57 PM (2922 Views)
After months of speculation since UT-San Antonio [url=http://www.collegesportingnews.com/entry.php?31-UTSA-Throws-Curveball-Announces-FBS-Plan]announced that they were bypassing the Southland Conference[/url] as a football-playing institution, the jury of peers that is the SLC has made their judgment.
At the recently completed SLC meetings held in Galveston, Texas - the league decided that all members [url=http://www.championshipsubdivisionnews.com/log/index.php/2010/06/04/southland-conference-redefines-sports-sp?blog=2]must participate in SLC sports for which they sponsor[/url].
Despite the league-issued press release not mentioning the intent of the legislation, the 11-1 vote in favor of the change brings to a close an issue that started with Louisiana-Monroe and reared its head once more with UTSA.
The rule does not force conference members to add the league sports in which they do not sponsor, but clearly states that any new sports must compete under the SLC umbrella, if they are league sponsored.
So, where does UTSA go from here?
The options are as clear as day. In an article that came out in the [url=http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local_news/southland_hits_utsa_with_ultimatum_on_football_95646329.html]San Antonio Express-News[/url], athletic director Lynn Hickey specified what we all knew.
UTSA must:
1) join the SLC in football
2) leave the conference and operate as a Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) independent in football and a Division I independent in all sports
3) join another conference, preferably with FBS football.
With conference realignment at the forefront of college athletics, was this the first shot fired in what could be a domino effect?
While the epicenter that league commissioner Tom Burnett spoke of recently as it relates to conference realignment starts when schools in the Big 10, Pac-10 and Big 12 begin to move around, this truly was the first definitive move.
UTSA received an ultimatum from their current conference and must respond. Their response in this writer's opinion will be to leave the SLC for a new conference home.
This is not a move that UTSA will take lightly, in fact it is one that the school has prepared for over the last few months, if not years. After all, In collegiate athletics, you can not think about tomorrow without thinking about five, 10 years away.
Anyone that knows anything about collegiate athletics know that being an independent is not the best move.
Not only does it take away the opportunity to playing for a conference title, it also makes it very challenging to make it to postseason play. Of course, we have not even broached the subject of scheduling, which is much more difficult as well, particularly when other schools in the non-revenue sports are in the midst of their conference slate.
For this reason, the need of a new conference home, brings to light why there has been a different approach to a move up to FBS from UTSA than Texas State, though the [url=http://www.sanmarcosrecord.com/sports/x1910023508/College-Athletics-States-FBS-drive-slow-compared-to-neighboring-UTSA]San Marcos Daily Record[/url] could not have been more ill-informed of those reasons.
UTSA is a school that wants to be at the top level, but with no football in their background and unlike fellow upstart South Alabama, no FBS conference home to all their sports.
With a blank resume, the Roadrunners had to do things big and do them the right way.
When the school hired Larry Coker as head coach, they made a splash. This was a splash that could have probably been picked up by a satellite in outer space. All the national media covered the hiring of Coker and it has led to continued coverage of the program, just as hiring Bill Curry did for Georgia State.
On the opposite side of the spectrum, UTSA could have approached their hiring in much the same way Lamar did. The Cardinals, who will hit the field in 2010, hired junior college head coach Ray Woodard, who was not exactly the "sexy" pick that even those in Beaumont were wanting for a splash out of the gate.
Back in San Antonio, Hickey may very well have been doing belly flops off the high board as the splashes continued to come, notably with the addition of Arizona, Arizona State, Kansas State, Colorado State, Baylor and Houston to future schedules. The school is reportedly also discussing games with Oklahoma State and Air Force, among others.
These additions not only show that UTSA is serious about football, it shows conferences that may be interested in the Roadrunners, that they will put together one of the best schedules a mid-major could have. Of course, it surely does not hurt being in the football hotbed of Texas.
The work is not limited to football, though football does turn on the ignition to the car, which will drive UTSA towards a conference.
Hickeys work continues as UTSA is in negotiation with the San Antonio Missions, a AA baseball club regarding a [url=http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/missions_and_utsa_talk_about_teaming_up_94678639.html?c=y&commentSubmitted=y#comments]joint stadium venture for baseball[/url].
The school also has plans for further upgrades on campus to athletic venues, including some joint efforts with the local school district for an arena - an upgrade over their Convocation Center on campus.
Hickey is well-respected in collegiate athletics, particularly this region. If there is anyone to direct UTSA moving forward, the Roadrunners probably have one of the best people they could potentially have at the helm.
The only change for Hickey and her school in wake of todays decision is that time is of the essence and it is even more critical to find a new home sooner than later.

Innit. Comfortable, casual, durable and stylish Mexican-inspired designs.
Innit was founded by Paul Yacht who started working in design in Toronto's film industry as a set decorator. In 2002, a slowed industry gave him the push to move to Puerto Escondido, Mexico to follow a lifelong dream of learning how to surf and living easy on the beach. He opened a small bookstore/surf-shop/bar/cinema on this surf-beach and used chairs similar to Innit's signature chairs as the cinema seating. These chairs would ultimately inspire the Innit Collection of indoor/outdoor chairs and rockers.
The decision to use these types of chairs for cinema seating was obvious. They are cool, comfortable, unique and easy to keep clean. After receiving inquiries about the chairs from guests from all over the world, Yacht decided to perfect the designs, polish them up and export them to Canada and the USA. And that was the beginning of Innit: comfortable, casual, durable and stylish Mexican-inspired designs.
All Innit pieces are suitable for high-heat and extremely cold exteriors, so you can use them indoors or out. Steel frames are galvanized and then polyester powder coated to resist rust. Vinyl is phthalate free and treated to resist UV rays. And those siesta-inducing woven seats are woven in Toronto and Los Angeles. Get Innit.

Brewers renew Gallardo's contract
Injury-plagued '08 makes negotiations tricky in pre-arbitration
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Unable to reach a compromise with right-hander Yovani Gallardo before Thursday's club-imposed deadline, the Brewers renewed his contract for 2010. Now he can get down to business.
Gallardo, who is working to cement his status as the Brewers' new ace, will make his spring debut Friday against the Brewers' old one. Ben Sheets, who signed with the Oakland A's over the winter after sitting out all of 2009, is scheduled to oppose Gallardo at Phoenix Municipal Stadium at 2:05 p.m. CT. The game is available exclusively via MLB.com webcast. If there's such a thing as a big game in Spring Training, this might just be one of them. "It would be weird" to see Sheets in an A's uniform, said Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder said. He probably will not; Fielder started Thursday's Cactus League opener against the Giants and will likely enjoy Friday afternoon off. Still, you can bet that Fielder will check the highlights to see whether Sheets looks strange in green. "That's how it is anytime you have someone who did so well in an organization," Fielder said. "Like when Ken Griffey Jr. [went to the Reds] it was different. But they're still the same player." Sheets was a very good player during his Brewers tenure from 2001-2008. He is the franchise's all-time leader with 1,206 strikeouts and he represented Milwaukee in four All-Star Games. Sheets departed via free agency after 2008 and missed all of 2009 while recovering from elbow surgery, and Gallardo took over by going 13-12 with a 3.73 ERA. Until Thursday morning, Gallardo was Milwaukee's only unsigned player. Per club policy, the Brewers did not announce terms of his new contract. He earned $414,000 last season. Gallardo, who turned 24 on Saturday and is Milwaukee's leading candidate to start Opening Day, is a so-called "zero-to-three" player without enough service time to qualify for salary arbitration. Teams essentially can pay such players whatever they want as long as it meets the Major League minimum salary, but the sides typically negotiate anyway, partly to keep things cordial for the more difficult talks later on in a player's career.2010 Spring Training - Milwaukee Brewers

Spring Training Info
If they cannot reach a compromise, the team can renew a player's salary at a figure of its choosing, as long as it represents at least 80 percent of what the player was paid the previous season. In March 2008, for example, the Brewers renewed Prince Fielder, Ryan Braun and Corey Hart all on the same day.
The Brewers attempt to take the subjectivity out of such negotiations by paying pre-arbitration players based on a system of performance- and awards-based criteria. The sticking point with Gallardo, according to Brewers assistant general manager Gord Ash, who handled negotiations with Gallardo's agent, former Major Leaguer Bobby Witt, was that one criterion for the club's pay scale is the Elias rankings system, which takes into account a player's past two seasons. Since Gallardo missed most of 2008 with knee injuries, he lost points and is compensated slightly less than some Brewers who have gone through the system before him. "We talked the past couple of days but nothing came of it, so we proceeded [with a renewal]," said Ash, who handled discussions with Gallardo's agent, Bobby Witt. "I spoke with both Bobby Witt and Yovani, and while both don't agree with our decision, they were very professional. I don't sense any negativity right now at all." Gallardo is on track to be arbitration-eligible following the 2010 season and would be one of the Brewers' key cases. Fellow starter Manny Parra projects as a first-time eligible player, and Fielder, Hart and second baseman Rickie Weeks will be eligible for the final time before hitting the free-agent market following the 2011 season. The Brewers could re-engage with Witt at some point about a multiyear deal to buy out some of Gallardo's arbitration seasons, but if they do, Ash said club officials would not talk about it publicly.Adam McCalvy is a reporter for MLB.com.
