If you have acute bronchitis, you may have a nagging cough that lingers for several weeks after the bronchitis resolves. Chronic bronchitis is defined as a productive cough that lasts at least three months for two consecutive years. If you have chronic bronchitis, you're likely to have periods when your signs and symptoms worsen. At those times, you may have acute bronchitis on top of your chronic bronchitis. In some cases, the cough may disappear only to reappear later.

Enjoyed this beer as part of the Tria Fermentation School's "The Dude on the Farm" with Scott Morrison.
App: Light sunshine color. Clear but not as much color complexity as Saison Dupont. Looks like it could be filtered. Nice HUGE head that lasts as a creamy, chunky white cap the whole beer.
Aroma: Very nice smell. Spicy with some phenolics, fruitiness, barnyard and pepper.
Taste: Very similar to Saison Dupont but with more fruit flavors. Spice of clove and coriander, some banana and nice finish of hops and pepper. Lemon end.
Mouth: Clean, light and liquid. Tingles with nice carbonation.
Drink: Beautiful style, really well done. Could definitely drink much more. Obviously the Dupont yeast but with slightly warmer and sweeter.

Growler courtesy of Azurelimits. Served in a Bruery tulip.
Pours a light copper color with a mild white head and a bit of lacing as it goes down my glass. The nose brought some mild hay along with a bit of earth. Those were the strongest components, though there was also a bit of clove and banana in the background. SOme additional spicing as well. Flavor had a really nice earthy presence and amplified everything else from the nose. Good bit of light grain and hay as well. Body was medium with good carbonation and a slightly-dry finish.

On Tap at Capone's for a saison event, this is from old notes.
A-Dark copper penny with a ring of suds around the glass, spots in the middle, no lace.
S- Getting barnyard hay and some fruit with pears and pineapple. Earthy hops, a str8 forward saison.
T- Hay, straw, light fruits, apple, pear, no banana thank god! yeasty, bready. This is a old keg, so the hops are not in the picture but do impart a nice earthy taste.
M- Medium bodied, lighty carbed, finishes dry. Long linger of barnyard afterwards.
D- I liked this saison and if I see it on tap again I'll probably go for it.

750ml bomber: This one pours a hazy, golden straw yellow color. There was a huge frothy white head on mine, so much that it was difficult to pour. The aroma is very nice. Floral, grassy, some citrus and faint spice. The taste is very good. slightly tart, with a faint bit of apple and citrus in there. Slight spice, wheat, grassiness. This is a very nice beer. Too bad I seem to have one of the last.

On tap at capones.
A- watery yellow orange in color with a small ring and a faint wisp of head on top.
S- sweet and floral with honey and hibicus. Mild spice and a hint of grassy herbs.
T- lavender honey and fresh cut flowers. Lots of sweet malts and fruits. Mild earthy hops adding just the right amount of bitter against the sweet.
M- medium to full in body with a light yet effervescent carb that cut the slightly syrupy brew. Semi dry finish.
D- very drinkable. Lots of sweetness and florals that make for a very different and interesting saison. I like it, I like it a lot.

Poured into a tulip glass. The head is small and white. Quickly fades. Beautiful honey color.
The smell is of pale hops, dry and bitter. Citrus, pear, mango, a bit of a farmhouse funk but real subtle. Hay, wheat, grass all undertones.
The taste is dominated in the front by citrus and pale malt. Then iI taste pear, grapefruit, mango, and some spice. In the back, it becomes bitter and dry, making way for the farm - hay, grass, wheat; they all linger on my tongue. Really nice, complex but subtly so. I love a humble beer.
Mouthfeel is smoooth. Not too bitter, nice and peppery. 5 minutes after taking a sip, I can still taste the hay on my tongue.
This is one of the most drinkable beers I've ever come across. I think the subtlety of this beer is the key, what a quiet storm! I love Southampton for what they're doing for the Belgian style in the States.

Pours hazy pale straw, bit of an orange glow, thin white creamy head on top.
Nose is orangey, some clove, bit of herbal hops, but peppery.
taste is orangey marmalade, herbal hops, peppery, just a bit tangy, with a light, tangy yeast presence.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, bit slick, almost buttery, with a carbonation that's light, creamy, and not at all sharp.

A: Pours a hazy orange/yellow with thick white head.
S: Citrusy, orange and lemon in particular. Good spice. No funkiness at all.
T/M: Citrus and bread-like malt. Spicy (coriander) and herbal. Good carbonation and medium body.

A - Dense beautiful meringue head clinging to sides of the Burgundian wine glass consumed from. Somewhat murky pale-golden yellow appearance.
S - Great fruitiness, citrus, dried fruit.
T - More fruity esters from exotic (pineapple) to dried apricot, some flowers and a touch of medicinal and hoppiness to keep it tight. Very complex.

Pours a slightly murky straw color with a slight orange hue. Mountainous cream colored head that expands well beyond the confines of the glass and is slow to recede. Thick lacing on the glass.
Aroms ia bready and yeasty with a hint of hops and light spiciness.
Bready and yeasty upfront leading into a slight malty flavor. A bit of herbal hops and some bitterness jump in. A bit of spices just before it finishes dry with a lingering aftertaste.
Medium body, creamy texture, full carbonation.
A competent saison, but just not as complex as I would like. Certainly worth a try.

A 750ml bottle, poured into a tulip glass. The beer was a clear golden color with a medium-sized white head. Some nice lacing was present also. It had a fruity aroma, sweet and candy-like. Fruit again in the taste, to me mostly pear, and some funky yeasty taste as well. I really enjoy that barnyard funkiness; it feels so good in the mouth. Wonder how this beer would cellar.

750 bottle Corked/Caged
The Southampton Saison pours a nice hazy golden orange color and a medium sized puffy white head with some lacing. Some hay, wheat and lemon on the nose. This would confuse me for a blonde ale in a blind taste test. Its got some farm house funk, but dont expect the funkiness of say a Fantome or DuPont Saison, it is definitely an American brew, but with its roots planted deep into the authentic belgian style. It is extremely refreshing, the perfect level of carbonation makes this saison very drinkable. By far the best American Saison I've had to date.

this beer pours a hazed golden color with a very substantial loosely bubbled head.
the aroma is pretty yeast driven, with a lot of bready grainy smells. beneath them is some tropical fruit and grassy spicy qualities. nothing funky here but a touch of hay. the smell is a little vinous in a white wine kind of way.
the taste is again seems to be yeast driven. you get the same grainy dry breadiness. again some tropical fruit shows up beneath the the bread, a good amount of citrus, mostly orange. finishes spicy with a little bit of an herbal bitterness. there seems to a sweetened corriander type flavor. it's got a farily good balance to it.
it's medium body i think... it's hard to tell because the carbonation fizzes up in the mouth so much that it seems to artificially lighten the mouthfeel. needless to say the carbonation is very active. i think the carbonation gives it an exagerated sense of dryness as well. quite a bit of residual sugar though in reality.
good drinkability nothing getting in the way of putting it down pretty quickly. this beer is a little to sweet though in my opinion. it ventures a little to close to belgian pale ale territory for me. still a very respectable beer and worth a try, just don't expect a saison dupont-esque beer.

Pours a pretty golden tangerine with a massive head of tiny carbonation.
Aroma is fresh fruit...tangerines, oranges, a touch of lemon...no barnyard funk to speak of.
Taste is refreshing citrus...sweet tangerines and oranges with some light spices. I'm rating it a 4.5 on taste because I enjoy it a lot even though it may not be typical for the style.
Aftertaste is sort of cloying as it warms...mouthfeel is slick and thick but the massive carbonation keeps it crisp.

This is my first beer from Southampton. Pours into my Unibroue glass and imediatley the head jumps to four fingers and almost over the rim of the glass. Head is rocky off white. Body is a hazy orange wheat color. Nose is fresh with raw wheat and soft citrus with almost a vanilla cream feel and a bit of zest. At first sip you are taken by the sharp boldness for this style. A strong mix of peppery spices, nice hops, and wheat laced alchol all balance well on the palate. For a saison this is quite bold, but nicely balanced. This balance leads to a very clean mouthfeel with a slight sour hop feel. Drinkability borders on refreshing and interesting.

Wireless Settings in Fedora
I've got my wireless NIC working in Fedora Core 2, and I'm able to
communicate with the network after I configure with iwconfig. But, after
I reboot, all the settings are lost, and I have to enter all the info
again. Is there something I'm not doing, or is this problem something
Weoh G
You should use the system configuration tools to set up the device:
Task Bar→System Settings→Network.
Christopher Wingert
The wireless-tools command-line utilities (iwconfig, iwspy, iwpriv) do not stick through a reboot, as you have experienced. The thing to do is to implement the settings through the appropriate configuration file. In the case of Fedora, you probably can get what you need set permanently, by adding wireless-specific options to your ifcfg file (/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX, where ethX is the Ethernet device name assigned to your wireless card). You simply need to place the additional wireless-related options into that file. For example, on my laptop, which connects over an 802.11b interface to the router/firewall/dhcp server I hacked together in my house, the file is very simple:
DEVICE=eth1 BOOTPROTO=dhcp ONBOOT=no MODE=Ad-Hoc CHANNEL=1 KEY=XXXXXXXXXX
The MODE, CHANNEL and KEY options were all I needed for my setup;
yours are sure to be different, but anything you can do via the
command line should be available as an option in the file. For a list
of all available settings, take a look at

Getting System Info
We have a system-defined structure called MACHINE_STATIC to
find machine architecture, including the IP address, processor speed,
OS and so on. I need a similar structure on Linux to extract machine
architectures. Do you know if one is available?
Rajesh Kumar Patnaik
Not a structure, per se, although certain ioctl() calls can provide many
of these details. But you should be looking toward the new mechanisms for
extracting this information—procfs and the upcoming sysfs. Note that sysfs
is new, and not many systems implement it yet. The files in /proc, when read,
will provide you with many relevant system data elements. For example,
/proc/cpuinfo provides CPU data, /proc/net/route provides network routes (IP
addresses are in hex) and /proc/version provides the kernel version.
Chad Robinson
Tools for Disk Repair?
Does anyone know what tools are used in Red Hat 8 to find and
repair disk and file problems—scandisk, scan registry?
These tools are not specific to a distribution; they are specific to a filesystem type. Like other distributions, Red Hat supports a number of filesystems, including ext2, ext3, xfs, ReiserFS and many others. The "see also" section in the man page for fsck lists the file checking utilities for the most common filesystems.
Recovery options available is a key selection criteria for
choosing a filesystem in the first place. New Linux users are often
baffled by the array of choices and seek guidance regarding filesystem
selection. I always recommend that the availability of recovery tools
be part of this evaluation.
Chad Robinson
GUI Database Front End?
I am using Red Hat 9 and SuSE 9 and really like both of
them as well as OpenOffice.org software. However,
I am puzzled by the fact that I cannot locate any
quality database programs similar to Microsoft Access.
I would like to build a database that will work on
a small intranet consisting of three or four machines.
Todd Hoover
If you want an open-source product, take a look at Rekall, which was
recently open-sourced by TheKompany.com. For a proprietary but inexpensive
alternative, take a look at Adabas D, part of Sun's StarOffice. Both
products are younger than Access and do not implement every function
provided by it, so if you are looking to migrate existing databases,
complex applications may not be 1:1 portable. However, both products
do provide significant functionality and may be suitable for your
environment, especially if your needs are more focused on new
Chad Robinson
OpenOffice.org can work with almost any ODBC or
JDBC database, including PostgreSQL, MySQL and even
Access. Go to Tools→Options→Data Sources to set
up a connection.
Bruce Byfield
I suspect you are interested in the MS Access-like
user interface. For that there are many front ends
for PostgreSQL, going from pgaccess, www.pgaccess.org,
to OpenOffice.org's database tools that interface to
PostgreSQL and other RDBMS. As a side note,
tons of companies use open-source databases, from
small companies with small Web sites to Fortune
500-sized companies; one special case may be the dot
ORG registry that relies on PostgreSQL for managing
the overall .org domain on the Internet.
Felipe Barousse Boué
If your application's interface is a simple form-based
one, consider doing it as a Web application instead.
You won't have to maintain software on the client,
you won't have to learn different tools for internal
and customer-facing applications and users already
know how to use a browser.

Active Directory, Meet PAM
My company uses a mixture of Linux (Red Hat AS 2.1) and
Microsoft Windows servers. I want to set up a central
authentication server for both platforms. We use
Active Directory, and it has been suggested that we
might be able to use AD for Linux. Is it possible to
use AD as a central authentication server for Linux,
and what's the best way to do it? Or, would we be
better off with a Kerberos or LDAP server?
In Linux, explore a security layer known as Pluggable Authentication Modules, or PAM. This allows you to authenticate users logging in locally against your AD servers.
For Apache, take a look into mod_auth_ldap, which allows you to do the same. Alternatively, you can use mod_auth_pam to instruct Apache to share your Linux server's PAM deployment. This is worthwhile if you do intend to have multiple applications use this data, because it will reduce your setup time. However, if Apache is your only application (and this is not uncommon) you might want to stick with a direct mod_auth_ldap configuration, as there are fewer steps involved in its configuration.
A third common configuration is Samba, and there is a good HOWTO
for this configuration at this site:
Chad Robinson
In the long run, you'll likely be happier with
a cross-platform "single sign-on" plan based on
LDAP, as described in "OpenLDAP Everywhere" in the
December 2002 issue of Linux Journal. It works on Linux and Microsoft
Windows and is more flexible and future-proof than
a vendor-specific solution. But if you do plan to
authenticate against Microsoft Active Directory using
Kerberos and PAM, Tim Fredrick has some helpful notes
at acd.ucar.edu/~fredrick/linux/ad.html.

Reader Responses
Dear Bill—I just saw your question in Linux Journal [July 2004] about setting up a Red Hat 9 and Windows 2003 server on the same PC, and I wanted to add something to the replies you already received. Namely, 128MB of RAM is too small for a Red Hat 9 or Fedora Core installation, if you use the GNOME desktop (the standard choice). You need at least 256MB of RAM for this. If you do not want to add memory (although it's pretty cheap these days), and you want to stay with Red Hat, then it is necessary to set up an alternative, lightweight window manager, like IceWM. This would involve extra trouble for a beginner on Red Hat, where IceWM does not come automatically installed.
SuSE 9.1 is a distribution that makes it easy to choose between KDE or
GNOME (with heavy RAM requirements) or IceWM or other lightweight
window managers. You can buy SuSE 9.1 directly from the SuSE Web site.
They have a Personal edition for about $40, but it doesn't include server
software. The Professional edition for about $90
does include it.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Foreclosure pace likely to pick up in NJ after ruling
* The 3,300 cases involving New Jersey homeowners were halted by paperwork issues.
Thousands of New Jersey foreclosures that were held up by faulty paperwork are expected to move forward this year, after a recent decision in Superior Court in Paterson.
The case involved Wells Fargo, which has been cleared to resume foreclosures on about 3,300 New Jersey homeowners under an order signed by Superior Court Judge Margaret M. McVeigh in Paterson.
The impact may be felt beyond those 3,300 homeowners because the Wells Fargo case "provided an example for other big lenders to follow procedurally," according to Kristi Jasberg Robinson, a lawyer with the state judiciary. Foreclosure activity could begin this year on 15,000 or more homeowners affected by the same faulty paperwork that was at issue in the Wells Fargo case, she said.
The foreclosure pipeline in the Garden State slowed to a trickle in 2011 in the wake of reports of foreclosure abuses — known as "robo-signing," because mortgage industry employees signed legal documents by the thousands without verifying them in their rush to evict homeowners.
But even before the Wells Fargo decision, earlier legal settlements resulted in a tripling of New Jersey foreclosures in 2012 from 2011's very low numbers. Through November 2012, about 22,000 residential foreclosure actions were filed in New Jersey, according to the state judiciary.
The Wells Fargo case hinges on the "notice of intent to foreclose" that mortgage companies send to delinquent borrowers. Many of these notices named the mortgage servicing company — the company that collects the monthly payments — not the actual owner of the mortgage. Since many mortgages were packaged and sold as investments, the servicing company often is not the owner of the loan.
In a decision last February, the state Supreme Court ruled that the state's Fair Foreclosure Act requires that the notice to delinquent homeowners must name the owner of the loan, not the mortgage servicing company. The ruling came in a case involving Maryse and Emilio Guillaume of East Orange, who defaulted on a $210,000 mortgage but challenged their foreclosure because the paperwork named the mortgage servicing company, a subsidiary of Wells Fargo.
After the Guillaume case was decided, state Chief Justice Stuart Rabner set guidelines under which mortgage companies could send out corrected notices, so they could move forward with foreclosures. McVeigh and a Trenton judge were appointed to hear arguments as to why the mortgage companies should not be allowed to re-send the corrected paperwork and foreclose in these cases. McVeigh reviewed those arguments with respect to Wells Fargo, and rejected them, writing in her order, "Wells Fargo may resume any foreclosure where the foreclosure defendant has not reinstated the loan."
Rebecca Schore, a lawyer with Legal Services of New Jersey, which represents many homeowners fighting foreclosure, called McVeigh's ruling "a disappointing outcome." She said many Wells Fargo borrowers wrote to the judge in "heart-wrenching" letters that detailed their unsuccessful efforts to get Wells Fargo to modify their loans so they could stay in their homes.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Few specifics are known about federal carbon emissions standards set for release next week.
But reports that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rules could harm the coal industry drew fierce responses from several West Virginia politicians and industry officials.
By the end of next week, the EPA must issue proposed carbon emissions standards for newlybuilt coal-fired power plants in the country. Bloomberg News and The Wall Street Journal both reported those rules will force any new plants to use equipment that industry officials contend either does not exist or is too expensive.
There is no reason to expect the rules won't hurt the coal industry, said Bill Raney, president of the West Virginia Coal Association.
"The anticipation is not very good," Raney said. "We're expecting it to be very damaging to
West Virginia and the Appalachian states and coal-burning utilities."Raney again said the technology to effectively reduce emissions or "capture" the carbon isn't a feasible option for facilities in the short term. It would realistically take years to implement the technology, at a significant cost, he said.
Lobbyists for the coal industry and the utility companies could still meet with the administration before the rules are released. Rob Goodwin, a project coordinator for the environmental activist group Coal River Mountain Watch, said he expected those opposed to the regulations to continue to argue for leniency.
Goodwin said the changes are unfortunate for those who rely on the coal industry for a job. But the federal government is required to impose limits on carbon emissions, and the industry had its chance to prepare for the changes, he said.
"Really, it's long overdue," Goodwin said. "I think these rules don't go far enough to regulate greenhouse gas emissions."
West Virginia politicians were quick to take reports of the potential rules as proof of a national "war on coal."
U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin, DW. Va., lashed out at the EPA, vowing to "lead another battle" in his fight against regulations deemed to overreach.
"It is simply unacceptable that the EPA chooses to hold coal and gas to the same emissions standards when experts know it is technologically impossible," Manchin said in a statement also provided to the Wall Street Journal.
"The proposed regulations attempt to force standards on coal emissions that cannot be achieved, even with the most advanced current technology."
Last year, the EPA proposed limits on carbon dioxide and emissions from gas-fired plants that were the same, according to the Wall Street Journal. The newspaper's sources say the EPA is considering only slightly relaxing the standards for coal-fired plants in its new regulations.

Happy After Easter!!
I hope you all had a wonderful and relaxing holiday weekend. I must admit as the years go by, Easter has a more and more profound effect on my soul. I guess that is one of the good things that come with age. I also loved watching the Bible series on the History channel. Such a moving depiction of the crucifixion.
I loved having my mother-in-law here over the weekend from Michigan. In fact, I got out my camera Easter morning specifically to take a picture of her and David with Caroline - and I specifically remember snapping it - and I have searched high and low through my phone and camera and I cannot find it. Wondering if "someone" was messing with my camera and accidentally deleted it. Argh!! But anyhow, we had such a nice relaxing visit with her. I wished they lived closer. As in, next door. Wouldn't that be nice!
I've started some spring cleaning around the house. My first project is washing all the slipcovers. This is quite a job - and my den has feathers everywhere from all the cushions. But, it's starting to look better. I'm sure Bella our dog will undo what I've done by the weekend….
We are performing Saturday night at the Opry here in Nashville, then next weekend out to California to do a show…if you are around either of those places, come out and see us. Check our tour page HERE for details…
Here are a few pics from Easter…
We decided this year to do our egg hunt with the neighbors on Saturday night - "Flashlight Egg Hunt." Sounds fun, right?! Except when it's pouring - but that doesn't thwart our plans, no sir…
The kids had a blast - and this is why we will never move. Because Miss Kirsten organizes and fully orchestrates egg hunts in the rain.
Here we are Sunday morning - and if anyone finds that picture of Grandma Veronica…please send my way….so frustrating…
Hope y'all have a beautiful day!!

Happy Early Birthday to me:)
Well, I know that my birthday is not for another week, but Stu has decided to give me my present early. If you know me really well, you know that organization is not my best friend. For whatever reason, I have REALLY be BAD at it over the past two months. Too much brain overload or something. Therefore, my house has paid the price for that. Drawers are completely overstuffed, closets have as many clothes on the floor as they have on the hangers (OKAY,, it's not quite that bad). But, it has definitely not been my proudest moments. So, for my birthday Stu has hired someone to come help me get organized. I'm thinking that this present is actually more for himself than me. Her name is Miss Michael. She is a wonderful Godly woman who is helping me to take a space at a time and make it more functional. I think there is probably something "Spiritual" about it all. Doesn't God want us to take every part of our mind, heart, body, soul, and let him come in an rearrange it to make it more whole so that we function the best we can giving Him glory in what we do?
Here is the first order of business. My work space. I now have a place that I can sit here and type this blog. I have notecards at my disposal to write a quick note to someone that I've been thinking about. My Bible study and Scriptures are right here. I'm so excited. So, thank you Honey!!! Even if this was a gift for yourself, I LOVE it and I know it will go towards enhancing our marriage and family:)
Last night the boys informed me that they both needed to bring a treat to school. Well, I just bought a pan that makes little bundt cakes. So I used our Point of Grace cookbook (Cooking with Grace) and made the "easy breezy Chocolate Cake" and made them into mini bundt cakes. Aren't they cute?
I am soooooo ready for Spring. I'm about to stop writing so that I can go outside and get some of that beautiful sunshine we are having today in Nashville. Hope you have a wonderful day and a great Spring Break if you are headed into that time. Get some of your Easter decorations out. It has helped my frame of mind even when it has been cold outside.
Have a wonderful weekend. So glad it's Friday!!!
Shelley Says...
Well, it's hump day, and I am trying to wake up and climb over it!! I wish I was a morning person - but I'm just not. Trouble is, I'm not a night person, either…
"Early to bed, late to rise."
That's my motto!!
Some of you have seen on our Twitter that we have changed the name of our radio show to "Real Life with Point of Grace." This comes on the heels of a special partnership we are doing with several of the Today's Christian Music network stations. Our show is now airing from 9-12pm on Saturday nights in about 75 different markets and has been since January. SO EXCITING!! In Nashville, we have an incredible local Christian music station, 94FM "The Fish". We LOVE them so much, listen to them faithfully, and are so happy and honored to hear our show here, in our hometown, every Saturday.
If you don't get "Real Life" in your town, you can listen to us live, right here on "The Fish."
Here are a few of the places you can hear "Real Life"
at 7pm Eastern Saturday nights in Cleveland/Akron, OH WCLN 107.3 at 7pm Eastern Saturday nights in Clinton/Fayetteville, NC WFCJ 93.7 at 10pm Eastern Saturday nights in Dayton, OH
I promise a full list super soon!!
In other news, I'm headed to my home state of Arkansas for spring break and I'm so excited!!
I know this is short! Don't hate!
More on the radio show soon,
Packing awaits,
Shelley Says…
Happy Friday everyone! It has been somewhat of a "long" week around here - my sweet Caroline hasn't been feeling herself - we've been for two strep tests, but nothing has turned up… I'm beginning to wonder if she just has a cold coming on. It's hard sometimes when there's not a "diagnosis", isn't it??
She's supposed to go to a sleepover tonight, hopefully she will feel up to it - she's in the 4th Grade and this is her very first official sleepover with more than one girl - I'm quite sure it will be Giggle-fest 2013.
Speaking of sleepovers - last Friday night Leigh's little girl Darby spent the night and the girls wanted to sleep in the living room "by the fire", so we really did it up. Moved the mattresses and everything - don't they look cute? Queens of the World…
They also wanted a tent, so here is pic of my handiwork…
Funny thing is - guess who ended up sleeping on those beds??
I did. :0)
About 11pm it was decided that there were too many "windows and creepy sounds"- a.k.a. the ice maker- for them to possibly get a good nights sleep…
There's a reason I moved the actual mattresses - I knew this would happen. And I wanted to be comfortable while they took over our bed….
They also attended Girls of Grace in Nashville. Our neighbor Sarah got to attend this conference, and all of them had a blast. Here they are backstage with Group 1 Crew. They are always so nice and gracious to our "starstruck pre-teens"…
Blanca (from Group 1) is expecting her first baby!! She looks adorable and we are so excited for her…
Sarah got to be in the GOG Fashion show which was super fun for her….here she is with Darby and Caroline in her "stage clothes"…
Our girls can't wait till they are old enough to participate in the Fashion Show…something to look forward to…
Well, I'm off print out scripts for tomorrow's GOG in Birmingham…I hope you have safe and blessed weekend…
much love to you all,

Can a Small Start-up Build America's Next Spaceship?
New technology. New methodology. T/Space has a plan for getting to space that's so crazy it just might work
It's a scene reminiscent of NASA's glory days, back when men still walked on the moon. A space capsule descends under a canopy of three orange-and-blue parachutes, swaying gently in the breeze. The spacecraft splashes down in the Pacific at a leisurely 15 miles an hour, and the chutes settle into the water beside it. A recovery boat rumbles into position beside the spacecraft, and divers hit the water.
But it's not astronauts they're after, it's the chutes; except for ballast, the capsule is empty, a mock-up created to test the landing of a familiar-looking but actually all-new spaceship design. The divers are racing to rescue the chutes before they sink, so that they can be reused in another test. The capsule, too, will go again, after recovery by a cargo helicopter. This is space travel on a budget.
The test, conducted off the northern California coast on August 3 by a com-pany called, appropriately enough, Transformational Space Corporation, or t/Space, could signal a whole new direction for NASA, one with the potential to put the agency's manned space program back on track more quickly and affordably than its primary plan can do alone [see sidebar, page 48]. NASA grounded its space-shuttle fleet in July following Discovery's near miss with foam insulation flying off its external fuel tank. Discovery's launch this year was to be NASA's triumphant return to flight after the Columbia disaster. Instead it seemed to highlight, yet again, the shuttle's numerous design flaws and NASA's chronic inability to fix them.
It is unclear when the shuttles will launch again, but ultimately NASA plans to replace the system with a multibillion-dollar craft called the Crew Exploration Vehicle (CEV), which will travel to the moon as well as to the low-Earth-orbit domain of the shuttle. But that ship won't be ready until at least 2011, and as long as NASA continues to pour money into the aging shuttles, it may have trouble scraping up the cash necessary to build it at all. What many think NASA needs is something it has never had: a no-frills, backup spaceship it could field quickly to keep U.S. astronauts flying to the International Space Station (ISS) or on other low-Earth-orbit missions if a primary system encountered trouble in development or operation.

Jones has worked to document African-American history within the region. Countless hours have been dedicated to interviewing, writing and publishing stories that reflect the heritage she shares with others. Her passion for research and preservation led to her accepting the Johnstown Area Heritage Association's Heritage Preservation Award in 2010.
She gives presentations from her research efforts at area venues, including Mt. Sinai Baptist Church. An active member of NAACP, Jones initiated a project that recognizes members over 85 at a biannual banquet. Her involvement in the community also extends to the Greater Johnstown Minority Scholars Club, of which she founded alongside Clea Hollis. The club provides mentoring and monetary aid to students through the Community Foundation of the Alleghenies.
Jones taught biology at Joseph Jones for 14 years and also worked as an associate professor at Pitt-Johnstown. She retired in 1995 as Emeritus.
Winnie Voytko began her costuming career in 1978 when the Johnstown Concert Ballet performed its first-ever production of "The Nutcracker." Two of her daughters were dancing in the production, and the already accomplished seamstress decided to take on an extra challenge by creating their costumes. It turned out to be the beginning of a long relationship between Winnie and the Johnstown Concert Ballet.
In the years since, she has worked closely with artistic director Carla Prucnal to create dresses, tutus, masks and other items fit for the stage. Her impressive use of tulle, lace, tassels, buttons, feathers, and ribbons serves as a testament to her creativity and her interest in creating costumes that dazzle audience members. Each costume is carefully designed and Winnie's work pays off when the curtain comes up—especially during her favorite ballets, "Cinderella" and "Coppelia." A snapshot of her 35 years of costuming work is currently on display at Bottle Works in an exhibit titled "Ex Machina" and will remain on display through Nov. 5.
Winnie's daughter Kathy is a Broadway star who has traveled the world utilizing her talents as not only an actress, but also as a dancer and singer. Her introduction to theatre took place at the age of 6 when she received a small speaking role in a play, later giving way to a bigger role in her school's production of "Hamlet." Kathy spent many years performing with the Johnstown Concert Ballet before earning her BFA in Music and Theatre from Shenandoah Conservatory.
She later moved to Chicago and accepted roles that challenged her and helped her perfect her craft. She was nominated for a Joseph Jefferson Award and won a Jeff Award for Best Actress in "Crazy for You." Kathy headlined many musicals in the city, where she met fellow Broadway actor and future husband John Cudia.
Kathy landed roles in Broadway productions of "Oklahoma!," "Nine" and "The Pirate Queen." Her other productions include "Passion," "Evita," "Les Miserables" and "Next to Normal." Her most recent role was principal singer in "Do You Hear the People Sing?"
Kathy will provide the evening's entertainment, and costumes made by her mother will be modeled by Johnstown Concert Ballet dancers.
Dinner, which begins at 7 p.m., is included in the ticket price. A silent auction and a live auction featuring regional art are also scheduled to take place.
Tickets cost $50 per person and can be purchased by calling Bottle Works at 814-536-5399. For more information, visit www.bottleworks.org.

Great food ... tasted and
presented well. Good service. A little tight for the group we had as they placed us in the middle of the room in between smaller tables."
Dined on 3/10/2014
Back in the District for a
conference, I recommended Bistro Bis to my colleagues having been a large group last year. My group could not have been happier. The service was outstanding, spot on and very timely. The waitress asked about our schedule and timing and accommodated our leisurely dining request. We ordered the Assiette de Charcuterie and we had so much fun exploring the various pate's, cured meats and pickled vegetables. The entree's were wonderful and cooked perfectly to order. We'll be back!"
Dined on 3/9/2014
After 5 requests and >30 min,
finally found a bottle of wine off the wine list that was actually in stock! Waiter was afraid to come back to table after 3rd request and sent another waitress over to tell us the bad news... Then he said the manager would come to the table, which didn't happen until the bill came. Disappointing considering the bill was nearly $100 pp..."
Dined on 3/9/2014
As always, Bistro Bis did not
disappoint. Their food is always creatively presented and absolutely delicious and the service impeccable."
Dined on 3/6/2014
When traveling for pleasure or for
business we try to find the best food in the area. We have eaten at Bistro Bis maybe 5 other times for dinner and an equal number of lunches. Its interesting that we have never eaten at any other DC restaurant every time we are there. Hmm. Maybe that's why dinner on Wednesday may have been the best meal I remember eating in the USA. Period. It could have been the Didier Dagueneau Pur Sang, or the endive salad, or the appetizer of rabbit, or maybe the way the rockfish was prepared. But combined, I could not stop remembering the flavors the whole next day. I can't wait to return."
Dined on 3/5/2014
We arrive at 5:30 to have a
leisurely dinner before an 8:00 play at Arena Stage. We didn't get drinks until 6:00. At 6:30 we still didn't have our appetizers. A comment to the waitress brought our appetizers -- except for one order of soup that she forgot. Then, dinner came crashing out of the kitchen before our appetizers were consumed -- so they were left on a tray next to our table. Of course, we didn't think they were ours because the order looked wrong. Nope -- it was ours, she just got the order wrong again. So we ate our bland flounder and over salty scallops and had time for a quick coffee before leaving. Not actually since coffee that we were assured would be quick took over fifteen minutes."
Dined on 3/1/2014
This may be the best traditional
French food in D.C. Frisee salad a gem."
Dined on 2/15/2014
Great: the boeuf bourguignon,
service, host was extremely nice, wine, visual presentation of the food Needs improvement: bartender was rushed and impersonal, the salad with the egg was drowning in dressing - you just don't do that with a runny egg. It overwhelms the point of the egg. The server was a tad sarcastic. Would I go again? Probably, I think this place has lots of potential."

Bistro Bis is so reliable, but
never the same. The food is always terrific, as is the service and the menu changes frequently. All three of us really liked our dishes - salmon with lentils, scallops, and red snapper. Yum."

My friend and I both had the
risotto which used coarser rice than most other restaurants use and it was not as delicate or as creamy as great risotto can be. We ordered frites but they didn't arrive until we were finished. We had to wait a long time to order and between courses. The opera torte was tasty but a bit dry."

My wife and I are from Seattle but
have now moved here, near Chinatown and the Portrait Gallery, and in the excitement of being surrounded by art and fine restaurants have eaten out every night! A lot of fun, but with out of town guests on the way we fell back on Bistro Bis...what a pleasure: a fantastic endive salad, with the endives slightly par-boiled then cooled, and so wonderfully tender but still crisp, was followed by Shad Roe and Sole, both perfectly cooked and with A+ sauces and the best creme brulee (#1, by far, out of 6 cremes in 6 DC nights!) I may have ever had. We came early, but by 7:30 on a week night the place was full, and buzzing, but "quietly(!!)", so real conversation could still take place among old friends."

My wife took me for my birthday.
Had to hit a very early seating, to make the theatre, so we sort of had the place to ourselves. The hostess wished me a happy birthday when we checked in, which I thought was classy. Fantastic romantic table in the corner. Both our cocktails were delicious. I had the French onion soup and Boeuf Bourguignon -- two classics that they knocked out of the park. The gruyere cheese on the soup was perfectly melted and browned, and the soup was fantastic. The healthy chunks of braised beef were tender and juicy, served with caramelized lardons and pearl onions over a parsnip puree. My wife had a vegetarian risotto, which she loved. Dessert was a huge hit too - a layered chocolate tort. Strong recommend!"

I've been waiting to dine at this
restaurant for quite some time as they have been rated as a Top 100 DC Restaurant. However, the service was extremely slow this Sat. A slice of quiche took an hour from order to table. Three tables around us were served food before us even though they arrived after us. Although, they only ordered salads and frites. The waiter shared that everything is made to order do their food takes a little longer, but I'm thinking it unrealistic for a restaurant to do so for everything on the menu. Try the other restaurants in this group-Vidalias and Woodward Table are better by far. The Host also felt compelled to share that he didn't like my red sweater as it seemed seasonally inappropriate. How awkward..."

We had an incredible dinner at
Bistro Bis, the service, experience and especially the food were outstanding. We had the trout and the snapper and they were prepared perfectly as always. There's no question in my mind that Bistro Bis is one of the great restaurants in DC. And it seems to get better every time we go there. Thanks to all for the wonderful experience."

1. rude staff interrupted my
conversation with the maitre d twice. 2. despite having a reservation I had to wait 12 minutes to be seated. 3. Was seated at table for 4 despite there being an open table for 2 4. was seated near the kitchen entrance. 5. my friend and I ordered the exact same item on the menu yet her piece of fish was really almost twice the size of mine. 6. lots of water refills early but then they forget about it after we dug in."

The staff, older and Experienced,

We hadn't been to Bistro Bis in a
while. The redecoration is nice but not a major "redo". The food, as always, is very good. The prices are high but one expects it with the quality of food served. We were there on a Saturday night and found the restaurant very crowded, which is unusual in our experience, for a Saturday night. Given that, the kitchen was very slow. The server did an excellent job of keeping us informed about the status of our meal. The slow kitchen on Saturday night did not make the meal feel worth its cost. For us, the great food was overcome by the slow production time."

Quality of the food justifies the
price. Much better food than many others, even more famous places."

I want to preface this by saying
that the restaurant has reopened for less than a month. With that out of the way, I found that the food was not that good- the duck I had was tough and the medium steak my fiance had was almost rare- and the service was mediocre and awkward. The wine was great and the ambience very good, however. I may go back in six months to see if they work the kins out."

The staff is the most
professional, friendly, and accommodating in any restaurant in Wahongton DC. Going here is like dining with friends. I use it mostly for business breakfast an lunch. Just makes a great impression. Food always well executed."

When I reserved the table, I said
we were having a business meeting over dinner and requested a quiet table. Indeed, we had a table in the corner of the main room and were able to do business while enjoying an excellent meal. Pleasant and productive evening."

Would have been okay, but the
restaurant seemed to have overheating issue. After checking in, we were then shown to a table right next to the hot kitchen. This was first time ever that I asked to change tables which there were plenty of. After spending over $200 on a meal, saw on email that they had canceled my open table reservation and would not receive the points. When I called them, they knew right away who I was, that I had checked in, but had canceled my reservation anyway. I asked if it was because I had changed tables, and they responded something about "losing me in the system after that" Although Open Table immediately restored the points after I contacted them, I felt that the restaurant's action was rude and punishing ."

Met friends and family for a

Our son gave us a Bistro Bis gift
card. We enjoyed a February weekend in DC without the usual tourist crowd (we're locals in N Va) and included a Saturday brunch here in this Capitol Hill area. The restaurant was not crowded due to the low-season weekend. Fine with us. The ambience was quiet, upscale and there was excellent service. The food was well prepared, tasty and satisfying portions."

Good food, but portion of sea bass
was about half the size (or less) of most fine dining establishments."

I had the worst service that I
have experieced in a fine dining restaurant in a long time. Dinner took over 3 hours. First, our order was not taken for more than 30 minutes, the food coming out of the kitchen was extremely slow, and our waiter almost never checked on our table during the evening. Even after pointing out that we felt abandoned, his service did not improve. We were the only ones left sitting in our section of the dining room and it took a very long time, long after we finished, to even get the bill. As the head of a national trade association, I have sent many members there for dinner over the years, but I will likely not go back nor recommend it which is unfortunate since the food is very good."

Dinner for 4 - food was great, as
usual. Initial service was very sluggish despite uncrowded dining room. Over 30 minutes to even approach us for our initial wine order. Waiter forgot to even introduce specials - we had to inquire if there were any. Disappointing since service usually impeccable here."

I have had lunch here with
co-workers several times and always enjoyed it. This was my first time for dinner and I had invited an out-of-town friend. I had crepes with squash-ricotta filling and he had salmon. Both delicious!"

We ordered the duck hash and crepe
with butternut squash ricotta. Both were AWFUL. The dried crusty overcooked chunks of flavorless duck were mixed in with undercooked potato chunks. It was the blandest, most flavorless thing I've ever eaten. My guest and I left our plates mostly untouched. The crepe was mediocre and one of the most boring things I've eaten in a while. Something is obviously wrong because on a Sunday brunch timing the place was virtually deserted. Our few neighbors were also leaving lots of food on their plate so the waiters give big boxes so people can take it home. The waiters don't realize it's because the food is bad, not because the portions are big. That being said the service was good."

My family & I visited Bistro Bis
to have brunch for my birthday. It was restaurant week, so the restaurant was crowded. The service was a little slow, but not very slow and understandable for the crowd. The food was absolutely delicious! The staff was friendly. My four year old daughter was with us and she was treated exceptionally well."

Bistro Bis is a good location for
the Capitol Hill power lunch crowd, but as such the restaurant is a bit chaotic. The food is good, and tables turn fast enough to make it a reasonable spot for a business lunch, but service isn't really all that great considering the price and caliber of the restaurant. Wait staff basically took our order and then we didn't see them again until they brought the check. It would be nice for drinks to be refilled and for empty plates to be bused away before the next course arrives."

This restaurant is a hot spot for
political fundraisers and the like, but my roommate and I went during DC's Restaurant Week. I'm not sure if it was because it was a prix fixe menu due to Restaurant Week, but I found the dishes unimaginative. I've had much better trout glenobloise at Le Diplomate and the presentation on the plate didn't wow me. What I will say is that their mussels were fantastic. That was indeed the highlight of the meal. The wine selection was limited and boring, but I also don't know if that was just because of the occasion. I would like to try it again with the full menu."
