Appearance: The amber colored liquid arrives at the bar with a foaming head that continues to rise for about 20 seconds while the barmaid wipes the overflow away; the bubbles are very large and while the persistence is not great, lacing sheets the pint glass
Smell: Caramel and citrusy hops
Taste: The caramel and citrusy hop flavors blend together from start to finish; the combination created a flavor that was a bit different but rather pleasant
Mouthfeel: Medium body with low to moderate carbonation, almost as if it was on cask
Overall: Perhaps a bit sweeter than I typically like my IPAs but very nicely balanced

Notes from 5/23
A: Deep golden with ½ finger head. Decent lacing and very mild carbonation.
S: Well, hops, but not just a ton of them. Caramel hints along with a mild nuttiness. Maybe some citrus but it's light.
T: Very good hop flavor. Medium bodied and I do get that orange zest towards the end of the taste. Bready malt up front as well. Spicy hop notes are occasional.
M: The mild carbonation lets the hops do their work. Fairly light and drinkable but a solid, bitter finish.
O: I enjoyed this beer much more than I thought I would at the onset. It's honest to the style

A- Pours a clear golden, lighter than many in the style. fluffy white head leaves some lacing. Head disapates to 1/8 of a finger.
S- Caramel and pale malts, white grapefruit and a hint of spruce.
T- Hoppier than nose indicated but still well balanced. Fruitier, rather than "pine" though some evergreen notes were there. A bit sweet throughout.
M- A long bitter finish. Could use a touch more weight and carbonation, but I'm nitpicking.
D- A very drinkable refreshing IPA. Getting through the growler will not be hard.

3.7/5 rDev -0.5%
Pours a clear, light amber color. 1/3 inch head of a white color. Great retention and great lacing. Smells of citrus hops, slight sweet malt, and a hint of pine. Fits the style of an American IPA. Mouth feel is smooth and crisp with an average carbonation level. Tastes of citrus hops (dominates), sweet malt, and slight yeast. Overall, simple body, but good appearance and mouth feel.

From notes.
Presentation: Arrives in a flute-like 10 oz glass. This one is cask, tapped tonight, and made with Pacific Ale Yeast.
Appearance: This white ring of foam, no appreciable head and thus, no lacing. The beer itself is medium yellow and perfectly clear.
Smell: Floral hops with a hint of fruitiness.
Taste: Fruity malt and hops with hints of honey and pineapple.
Mouthfeel: Lower than average carbonation, as is to be expected. Good body.
Drinkability: Good, in fact very good. Haveing been just tapped this evening however, I didn't get alot of the sourness I associate with cask. Too bad.

Had this one while attending the Repeal of Prohibition event in St Louis.
While it is billed as an IPA, it really did not remind me of a typical IPA. While it had some citrus notes, it seemed sweeter/less hoppy than I expect from a typical IPA. Don't get me wrong, the flavor is good and my favorite of the Bosco's beers that I had at the event.

Bombay flys to the table in the standard shaker pint, a clear amber with a decent white head, sticks around for a bit.
Aroma is light hops with a touch of spice, which transferres into the quaff the same light way. Even the finish is easy with a touch of woody resin tossed into the fray. The entire character of this brew, from taste to body, has been light - too much for an IPA. This one is closer to English pale ale.
Still, a decent drinker, just not a big IPA - be warned.

This was a nice surprise... Good little brew here..
Arrived looking great with a very attractive light amber color and a very fluffy head... Awesome lacing as well..
Aroma of some caramel malts with the faintest of grapefruit hoppiness... Very subtle..
Much hoppier than I was expecting! Wonderfully balanced flavor of sweet malt with a big grapefruit kick in the middle finishing bitter..
This would make a great session brew! Very tasty!

A copper color, little head and provided no lace as I consumed. Malty nose of carmel malts with a fruity backing. Medium mouthfeel. Significant sweet malts followed by loads of hop bittering. Leaves a long snappy, bitter finish. A hint of cinammon on finish. Mouthfeel is just a tad lacking.
Overall, a tasty beer with siginificant bittering. Their best beer.

LAWTON Okla_ Lawton police
officers gave some lucky preschool kids quite a treat Wednesday during the
annual "Books and Badges" event.
All this month,
officers have gone to classrooms twice a week to read stories to the
four-year-olds. Wednesday, officers handed out books that the kids could take
home and keep.
"They were
truly excited," Beginnings Academy Principal Rhonda Weber said. "You could see
just a sparkle in their eye when they got to look. They even got to select
their book.
Principal Weber said not only does the project help kids learn how to
read, it also helps the children identify police officers-- someone they can
"You can't
start early childhood literacy too soon," Lawton Police Sergeant Tonya Crigger said.
"To have the opportunity to give them a book that they can take home and keep
and remember that it was us that gave it to them makes a positive impression
for them."
The project was funded by grants from Public Service of Oklahoma and was
coordinated by success by six and the united way.

(WMC-TV) - Southaven Mayor Greg Davis is leaving office early with extra money. But where is it coming from?
The money comes from the state's retirement system. Mayor Davis plans to leave his office to incoming Mayor Darren Musselwhite on June 28.
Olive Branch Mayor Sam Rikard will wait until July 1. The difference in just a couple of days? Money.
"I was elected to a 4 year term and I'm going to serve every day of it," said Mayor Rikard.
Mayor Sam Rikard has been in office for four terms. He will hand over the reigns to Scott Phillips on July 1 when his term is scheduled to end.
Southaven Mayor Greg Davis said that he and Darren Musselwhite agreed on June 28.
"If I wait until July 1 when they're sworn in, then my retirement check won't come until August 1. The cost of living check, the 13th check as it's sometimes referred to, won't come in until 2015 instead of 2014," said Mayor Davis.
Davis said without any income coming in, his decision to leave early was a financial decision, one that he made months ago before the election.
Across town, Mayor Rikard said he may lose money out of his pocket by waiting until July 1 but he feels committed to serving until the last day.
"If I was going to retire on June 28 then my retirement check would be about $750 extra. That would come in December and I won't get that," said Mayor Rikard.
Horn Lake Mayor Nat Baker was under the weather but said he plans to leave office at midnight just after June 30.

In 2006, the staff at Ms Nails began decorating nails with brightly-colored polish. Since then, they've moved to a downtown Valparaiso location, expanded their team of nail techs to include a massage therapist, started to provide hair services, and built upon their service menu to incorporate CND shellac manicures, facials, and massages. One can only assume that their continued growth will manifest itself in the hiring of a mascot shaped like a giant nail file, though these rumors have no basis in reality.
Debi is a hairstylist at Divine Hair Design, where she combines an artistic eye and steady hands to sculpt elegant and fashion-forward styles. She offers cuts, coloring, and other hair treatments inside this spacious salon, which features polished hardwood floors and cushy jet-black styling chairs. Divine Hair Design features a wide array of salon services and carries Paul Mitchell products for sale.
Salon Diva's staffers cater to practically every beauty need, offering hair- and nailcare alongside waxing and makeup applications. And thanks to a newly minted partnership with The Cinnamon Tree, they've expanded their pampering services. Now customers can enjoy relaxing massages—including therapeutic, hot stone, and deep tissue—as well as a selection of facials.
Over the past two centuries, the historic town of Hobbard has stayed current without losing any of its small town charms. The Professional Edge salon is no exception. Through the classic hair studio's period storefront, wood accents and cabinetry offer an old-time feel, while skilled stylists maintain hair modernity with Redken brand products. Clients may also retreat to a private room for the Swedish strokes and deep-tissue pressure of licensed massage therapist Jennifer Ivezic.
Artiste' Organic Salon and Spa promotes an art-inspired atmosphere complete with warm lighting, art-covered walls, and draped cloth that together create a welcoming space. In private treatment rooms, amid a water fountain, music, and aromatherapy, guests can relax with services that include haircare, nailcare, and skincare fueled by organic beauty products.
A faculty of experienced instructors explains styling theory and oversees practical training as barbering apprentices seek out professional licenses through Success Barber Schools, LLC's two-part curriculum. After mastering textbook material and acing pop quizzes from Rapunzel, students receive their wings to test skills on clients in the 10,000-square-foot facility. Attendants apply fine-tuned sheer, clipper, and straight-razor methods to male and female manes of all ages. Tress decorators demonstrate their grasps on highlight and coloring techniques to round out their aesthetic educations.

A single vehicle accident early Tuesday morning sent one man to the hospital.
The Bridgeport Police said a 45-year-old man from Charleston was traveling South on Interstate 79 when he hit a slushy spot and lost control.
The vehicle then hit a snowbank, went airborne and ran into the 124 exit sign. It then rolled over and finally landed on its top.
The driver was taken to United Hospital Center with non-life threatening injuries.
There was also an 18-year-old passenger in the vehicle but he sustained no injuries.

White Coat Ceremony
Thursday, November 7, 2013
1:00 - 5:00 pm
Hippodrome Theatre
What Happened?
The annual White Coat Ceremony is an important step for first year medical students as they begin the journey towards becoming physicians at the University of Maryland School of Medicine.
During the ceremony, each student is given a traditional white coat - long the symbol of the medical clinician and scientist. The presentation of coats by the School of Medicine faculty recognizes the students's entry into the profession of medicine and welcomes them as junior colleagues. The white coat is personally placed on each student's shoulders by individuals who believe in the students' ability to carry on the noble tradition of doctoring.
During the ceremony, the students vow to always maintain professional attitudes and behaviors in work and relationships with classmates, teachers patients and the community at large. The White Coat Ceremony was first held at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in 1997.

"Anyone out at night is required to have navigation lights running," Marine Police Officer John Williams said. "Those are the red and green lights on the sides of the boat. The green light is on the starboard, or driver's side, and the red is on the port, or passenger's side. They are also required to have a white stern light that should be the tallest thing on the boat and other boaters should have an unobstructed view of that light."
According to Williams, a large portion of the accidents on Smith Lake happen at night, and about one out of every four accidents stems from a lighting issue.
"That's one thing we strictly enforce," Williams said.
He also says that boaters should be familiar with how to change light bulbs and fuses on the water, in case one blows. They should also carry red, white and green chemical lights (similar to glow sticks) that can be used in place of lights in an emergency. Those stick lights can be purchased at sporting goods retailers.
Another common lighting issue on the water is people using docking lights while traveling down the waterway.
"Those lights are made to see something quickly, you turn them on and back off," Williams said. "Those lights can restrict other boaters' night vision and make it unsafe out there."
Marine Police also stress that an important part of boat safety at night is knowing the waterways that you're traveling. Williams says the better you know the area during the day, the safer it will be to travel it at night.
The crowds that gather at Duncan Bridge Marina usually mean wall-to-wall boats and Williams encourages those boaters to use common sense and courteousness to avoid issues in such a tight space.
"Slow speeds are always best when it's crowded," Williams said.
In addition to those tips, Marine Police will enforce all Alabama boating laws, including boaters traveling on the right side of the waterway, signaling if they change directions and vehicles not traveling too close to each other.
All children under the age of eight must be wearing a life jacket and their must be a life jacket on the boat for each passenger. Each boater should also have their license and registration, a ring life preserver and a fire extinguisher.
Common citations on the water include reckless operation issues, such as operating too close to other vessels or spraying other vessels and careless operation, which includes not being seated inside the boat, but sitting on the sun deck or swim platform.
Williams also said that since all three counties bordering the lake are dry counties, alcohol is strictly prohibited on Smith Lake. Drivers can be charged for operating a boat under the influence, just like in a car.

There are two new ways to sell your unwanted items without having to setup a yard sale in your front yard.
Elisa Gossger began the Montgomery County Garage Sale or Swap and its counterpart Montgomery County Parent's Garage Sale or Swap.
The parent's page is exclusively for kids, tweens and teens items, with current items listed including children clothing of all sizes, shoes, toy trains, a high chair and more.
The Montgomery County Garage Sale or Swap page is perfect for household goods, gardening and lawn gear, adult clothing, and the like.
Gossger told Patch, "I wanted to create a place you could easily upload your pictures, recommend the page to your friends and be able to browse items specifically in Montgomery County."
The sites can be used to sell, buy and swap items.
Gossger also posts "Pet of the Week" from a Montgomery County shelter and "What's for Dinner?" an easy recipe for parents.
There are almost 100 members on the Parent's page and the Montgomery County Garage Sale is "slowly growing" said Gossger. Both sites have been up for about a month.
"I've had a couple people message me on Facebook and thank me for doing this, which is wonderful and rewarding! I'm glad it's helping people sell and find items!" said Gossger.

Home Ec: Donut Making 101
Forget yeast, kneading and industrial–size fryers. The secret to making airy, golden donuts is a can of biscuit dough.
*Makes 8 donuts with their respective donut holes
1 can of buttermilk biscuit dough (like Pillsbury)
1 quart peanut oil or canola oil
1/4 cup white sugar (optional)
2 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
How to make the easiest donuts in the world:
1. In a large pot, heat up oil to 350° F. If your collection of dusty kitchen appliances doesn't include an infrared thermometer, carefully flick a drop of water into the oil. If the water disappears immediately, the oil is hot enough. While the oil heats up, mix the cinnamon with the sugar in a shallow bowl.
2. Pop the can of biscuits open and separate them onto a cutting board. Use a 1.5 inch cookie–cutter to cut out the center of each biscuit. If you don't have a cookie–cutter, your standard shot glass is a fine alternative.
3. Gently drop a donut into the oil. Fry until golden (about 45 seconds) and then flip using tongs or a spatula to fry the other side. Repeat with all the donuts and donut holes.
4. Remove the donut from the oil and onto some paper towels. When they're cool enough to handle, roll the donuts and donut holes in the cinnamon sugar.
Now go and impress your friends with your newly acquired baking skillz.
—Isabel Oliveres

When it came time to select roses befitting a beauty queen and her court, the Miss America Pageant turned to Passion Growers for the fourth year in a row.
The Miami importer's flowers were named the official rose of the 2014 Miss America competition, held Sept. 15 at the Atlantic City Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ, and nationally televised.
The bouquets used in the ceremony were grown in Colombia and hand-picked for Miss America, former Miss New York Nina Davuluri, and her court.
"Partnering with the Miss America competition is an incredible opportunity for Passion roses," said Passion Growers founder Jaime Peisach, quoted in a news release.
A family firm founded in 2001, Passion Growers offers more than 200 varieties of roses and spray roses sold in more than 5,000 supermarkets and grocery stores nationwide.
Earlier this year, Passion Growers was named "The Official Rose of the Rose Bowl."

|It has been suggested that this article be merged with 'Ad. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2013.
ʿĀd (Arabic عاد) was an ancient Arab tribe and a district in South Arabia that was led by 'Ad ibn Kin'ad.
The ʿĀd are thought[by whom?] to have lived in what is now eastern Yemen and western Oman, running from the Arabian Sea up into the Dhofar Mountains and to the edge of the Rub' al Khali. Some speculate that this was the first site of camel domestication.[1] Ubar, located in ʿĀd, was a major transshipment point for ancient frankincense trade.
The ʿĀd tribe settled in an area to the East of the Qahtan tribe and established the Kingdom of ʿĀd in South Arabia sometime between 10th century BC and 3rd century AD. The rulers of ʿĀd included Ad ibn Kin'ad, the first leader of 'Ad, who lived some time between the 23rd and 10th century BC; Aldahn Khuljan, who lived some time in the 4th to 3rd centuries BC; and, according to legend, Shaddad, known to the Himyarites as the last leader of 'Ad, who lived in the 6th to 4th centuries AD.
Claudius Ptolemy's Geographos includes mention of the inhabitants of 'Ad's capital, Ubar.
Some time between the 3rd and 6th century AD, the 'Ad state crumbled, in part because of a natural catastrophe that destroyed much of Ubar.
The 'Adid are mentioned in the Qur'an as being the people to whom the Islamic prophet Hud (هود) was sent by Allah to guide them back to the righteous path of faith. According to the story, the citizens did not heed his warnings and the town was destroyed by God in a great storm.
It was mentioned in the Quran that they built very huge buildings just to show off their power.
The Quran mentioned that Allah sent The ʿĀd tribe a huge sand storm that killed them all, because they refused to worship Allah.

Private detectives find facts and analyze information about legal, financial, and personal matters. They offer many services, including verifying people's backgrounds, tracing missing persons, investigating computer crimes, and protecting celebrities.
Private detectives typically do the following:
Private detectives typically work for individuals, attorneys, and businesses. Some have their own investigative agency. Private detectives offer many services, based on clients' needs. They may perform pre-employment background checks or look into a charge that someone has been stealing money from a company. They might be hired to prove or disprove infidelity in a divorce case.
Private detectives use a variety of tools when researching the facts in a case. Much of their work is done with a computer, which allows them to quickly get information, such as records of a person's prior arrests, telephone numbers, social networking-site details, and emails. They make phone calls to verify facts, such as a person's income and place of employment. They also interview people when conducting a background investigation. Investigators may go undercover, pretending to be someone else to go unnoticed, to get information, or to observe a suspect.
Detectives also conduct surveillance when investigating a case. They may watch a site, such as the person's home or office, often from an inconspicuous location or a vehicle. Using photographic and video cameras, binoculars, and global positioning systems (GPS), detectives gather information on persons of interest. Surveillance can be time consuming. Detectives and investigators must be mindful of the law when conducting investigations.
They must have a good understanding of federal and local laws, such as privacy laws, and other legal issues affecting their work. However, as the legality of certain methods may be unclear, investigators and detectives must make use good judgment when deciding how to pursue a case. They must collect evidence properly, so that it can be used legally in court.
Would you make a good private detective? Sokanu's free assessment reveals your exact compatibility with this career, your strengths, and any unique areas of interest.
Most private detectives learn on the job. Although new investigators must learn how to gather information, additional training depends on the type of firm that hires them. For instance, at an insurance company, a new investigator will learn to recognize insurance fraud. Learning by doing, in which new investigators are put on cases and gain skills as they go, is a common approach. Corporate investigators hired by large companies, however, may receive formal training in business practices, management structure, and various finance-related topics.
Private detectives usually have some university education. Although some investigation jobs may not have specific education requirements, others require candidates to have a high school diploma.
Postsecondary courses in criminal justice and political science are helpful to aspiring private detectives and investigators. Although previous work experience is generally required, some people enter the occupation directly after graduating from college with an associate's degree or bachelor's degree in criminal justice or police science.
Corporate investigators typically need a bachelor's degree. Coursework in finance, accounting, and business is often preferred. Because many financial investigators have an accountant's background, they typically have a bachelor's degree in accounting or a related field.
Many computer forensics investigators need a bachelor's degree in a related field, such as computer science or criminal justice. Many colleges and universities now offer certificate programs in computer forensics, and others offer a bachelor's or a master's degree. Because computer forensics specialists need both computer skills and investigative skills, extensive training may be required. Many computer forensic investigators learn their trade while working for a law enforcement agency, where they are taught how to gather evidence and to spot computer-related crimes. Many people enter law enforcement to get this training and to establish a reputation before moving on to the private sector.
Private detectives typically have previous work experience. Some have worked for insurance or collections companies, as paralegals, in finance, or in accounting. Many investigators enter the field after serving in law enforcement, the military, or federal intelligence jobs. These people, who frequently are able to retire after 25 years of service, often become private detectives or investigators as a second career.
Because laws change, jobseekers should verify the licensing laws related to private investigators with their jurisdiction and locality in which they want to work. There are no licenses specifically for computer forensic investigators, but some places require them to be licensed private investigators. Even in localities where licensure is not required, having a private investigator license is useful, because it allows computer forensic investigators to do follow-up and related investigative work.
Private detectives work in a wide variety of environments, depending on the case that they are working on. Some spend more time in their offices conducting computer searches and making phone calls. Others spend more time in the field, conducting interviews or doing surveillance.
Investigators generally work alone, but they may work with others while conducting surveillance or following a subject. Some of the work involves confrontation, so the job can be stressful and dangerous. Some situations, such as certain bodyguard assignments for corporate or celebrity clients, call for the investigator to be armed. In most cases, however, a weapon is not necessary because private detectives and investigators' purpose is information gathering and not law enforcement or criminal apprehension.
Owners of investigative agencies have the added stress of having to deal with demanding and, sometimes, distraught clients. Private detectives often work irregular hours because they need to conduct surveillance and to contact people outside of normal work hours. They may work early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays. In addition, they may have to work outdoors, or from a vehicle, in all kinds of weather.

3.8/5 rDev +3.5%
Served on a nitrogen dispense. This beer pours with a persistent creamy light brown head. The beer itself is a deep black beer with clear deep brown notes when held up to the light. This beer has a nice dry roasted malt aroma with a mix of espresso, burnt charcoal, and toast. This definitely has a nice aroma. The taste is smooth and creamy with a malty sweetness up front. This beer is very smooth throughout, including a subtle smooth roast character in the finish. This goes down so easily, much better than draught Guinness, and a great quaffer. So far the most enjoyable beer, a great session beers.

Black color. Aroma is medium. Aroma is roasted malts and chocolate. A medium bodied oatmeal stout. Malts are roasted and chocolately. Hops are slightly spicy. Smooth texture. Flavors are mild, but a very drinkable stout. Mouthfeel is full and round. Finish is clean and smooth.Aftertaste is slightly bitter.

3.33/5 rDev -9.3%
This one is on a nitro-tap and thus comes out looking alot like Guiness Draught. Served in a pint glass. Very black, good thick light tan head. The foam has microfine bubbles and it lingers for a while. The smell is only faint, with hints of roasted coffee and chocolate. The taste is also missing something. The flavors are very subtle with more coffee notes and a slight burnt flavor. It tastes clean but there's still just not enough malt. Bitterness is pretty low. Its very smooth, but a little thin for a stout, I guess that's from the nitrogen? Carbonation is fine. Alcohol is not strong. Still pretty drinkable. It really does seem like a Guiness clone, and it's actually got better flavor, but not by much.

Very dark brown, thin layer of foam. Smelled of chocolate and coffee, but the taste wasn't quite up to what the smell implied. Just a bit on the weak side, more like a porter. A very creamy mouthfeel, the best part really. Didn't really feel like another glass, but wouldn't have minded, either. A middle-of-the-road stout.

2.75/5 rDev -25.1%
Appearance: Looks good at first, head looks thick and creamy but it quickly falls to an anemic looking fizzy head much like a head on a root beer. Color is a very dark brown with a tan head.
Smell: Caramel, Coffee, Cocoa, simple but nice.
Taste: There is more flavor in the air than in the glass. Light sweetness, oats and black malt.
Overall: Light and uninteresting, Yawn.

Iowa Republican Congressman, Steve King, will not run for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by retiring Democratic Senator, Tom Harkin.
Following weeks of speculation about the possible U.S. Senate bid, Congressman King turned to Twitter Friday night to make his intentions known to the public. He will not run for Tom Harkin's Iowa U.S. Senate seat.
King represents Iowa's 4th Congressional District.
King's decision not to run leaves Iowa Democratic Congressman, Bruce Braley, as the only announced candidate in a race with far-reaching implications on the national political landscape.
King posted on Twitter, "I will not run for Senate in 2014. A Senate race takes me out of urgent battles in Congress that can't wait until 2015. Many thanks to all."
His decision leaves Iowa Republicans still searching for a candidate willing to run against Braley, whom King has referred to in the past as a 'classic liberal'.
With so much at stake, the Iowa U.S. Senate race for Harkin's seat is likely to be one of the most expensive in state history.
Millions of dollars from out of state influences are expected to pour into Iowa during the campaign. As was the case in the 2012 campaign, most of it will likely be targeted for television advertising.

I've just bought Nokia Lumia 800 and I have problem with camera. The taken pictures have 1632x1224 pixels resolution (like 3MP) instead of 3264 x 2448 pixels (8MP). In options the 8MP resolution is chosen and focus mode is normal (not macro).
Every taken has a smaller resolution than it should...
Similar thing is with 7MP and 2MP.
Had anybody a similar problem? The software is updated to the latest version.

28-03-2012 20:53
that kind of defies the purpose of having an email client in the phone. im looking for the setting to turn the auto resize of.
28-03-2012 20:55
Your right, but what Im offering you is a solution to send your pictures full size.
I think theres no setting to not-resize.
28-03-2012 21:02
thats bad, who made that decision to not allow to send fullsize pictures, thanks anyway

The 5 Most Unforgettable IPOs of 2013
Many prolific companies went the IPO route in 2013. Here are some of the more recognizable members of this year's rookie class.
Many prolific companies went the IPO route in 2013. Here are some of the more recognizable members of this year's rookie class.
Market leader Carnival issued disappointing guidance during last week's quarterly report. Rival Royal Caribbean is running into obstacles in financing its next mega-ship. Norwegian Cruise Line wasn't in the news, but NCL hasn't been able to complete its IPO since calling it off last year.
Maybe it's time for Carnival to beach its Costa brand. The cruise line suffered another ugly mishap this week when a fire aboard the Costa Allegra left the ship powerless on the Indian Ocean, stranding passengers for three days with no hot food, air conditioning or running water.
It's now been two weeks since the Costa Concordia accident off the Tuscan coast of Italy. That tragic event aside, cruising is still a remarkably safe vacation choice. What's probably not as safe is investing in Costa's parent Carnival.
Wall Street can be fickle, leaving investors scratching their heads in bewilderment. Some of last week's biggest surprises, blunders, and flat-out boneheaded moves included Netflix's misguided pricing hike, ill-timed IPO announcements by Norwegian Cruise Lines and Zillow, and Trex going the way of Lumber Liquidators.
There's a battle brewing at sea, but you won't hear a lick about it from the Pentagon. That's because it involves passenger ships, not...

For the Hancock family, it's all about love and giving kids a chance to thrive in that loving environment. Baby Mila is adopted child number 10 for Amanda and Levi Hancock. This time,the Hancock's say Mila is their final adoption.
"Mila has, I feel like, completed our family, and she's just been awesome. We didn't expect her to be. And so, I've just tried to soak up every minute of it with her," says Amanda.
Levi adds,"It does feel different every time. Every child that we adopt has a different set of circumstances, a different set of strengths; a different set of weaknesses. I don't know that we have done anything overly special, other than allow them to become the people that they want to become and, if you allow children to do that, then they will. They'll accomplish what people tell them that they can accomplish."
Mila's Guardian Ad Litem is Gilbertville native and Des Moines Attorney, Michelle Saveraid, who says, "Sometimes, there is quite a battle in court, and lots of litigation. Sometimes not. But, the rewards that come from being able to provide a forever home to these children far outweigh, in my opinion, any of the struggles that we may do behind the scenes."
"There's going to be uncomfortable situations, but all of that can be overcome with love. All of it can. Consistency and love is really what it takes. It's going to be hard work, but, love is what makes all of it possible." says Levi.
Many Iowa families work with IowaKidsNet, www.iowakidsnet.com. IowaKidsNet is a statewide collaboration of agencies which utilizes a unique,cohesive approach to provide recruitment, training, licensing and continued support to individuals who wish to become foster and adoptive parents.
IowaKidsNet is a partnership of Iowa social service agencies, including Four Oaks, Children's Square USA, Family Resources, LSI, Quakerdale and affiliate Youth and Shelter Services. For more information, call 1-800-243-0756. November is National Adoption month.
"Every child deserves to have a permanent connection to a caring and supportive adult," says Kelli Malone, Iowa KidsNet Project Director.
Malone says, "Each year about 26,000 youth turn 18 and age out of foster care without having permanent family connections. This November we urge more Iowans to consider becoming foster or adoptive parents, especially for older youth, or find ways to raise awareness in their own communities about the needs of Iowa children in foster care."
According to the Iowa Department of Human Services, as of August 2012, there were about 765 children in Iowa who were legally eligible for adoption, meaning parental rights had been terminated.
Many of these children already have an adoptive home identified with a relative or a foster family, while others are still waiting for an adoptive home.
On March 31,2012, there were approximately 6,100 Iowa children in foster care, which includes placements in non-relative foster homes, relative foster care, group homes, institutional care, supervised independent living or on trial home visits.
More foster and adoptive parents who can care for teenagers, sibling groups and children with special needs are urgently needed, said Malone. There is also a large need for more African American and Latino foster and adoptive families.
In all Iowa counties, including Black Hawk County, IowaKidsNet offers free post-adoption support services for families who have adopted a child through the Iowa Department of Human Services.
Of the 104,000 children in the U.S. waiting to be adopted from foster care, some will wait five years or more to be adopted; That is like a lifetime to a child.

T. Oliver Reid's Drop Me Off in Harlem Plays 54 Below Feb. 6
By Michael Gioia
T. Oliver Reid, who was last seen on Broadway in Sister Act, brings his Bistro Award-winning show Drop Me Off in Harlem to the Manhattan nightspot 54 Below on Feb. 6.
Lawrence Yurman is the musical director for the 7 PM performance of Drop Me Off in Harlem, which was seen in a Feinstein's engagement in December 2012.
Drop Me Off in Harlem, according to press notes, "is an evening of club-hopping to the music of Harold Arlen, Duke Ellington and Andy Razaf…through the elegant nightclubs and working class speakeasies that made uptown gay and delightful, however dull and depressing downtown Manhattan could be. In 1934, on a Saturday night in New York City, if you were boozin' and jazzin', you were doing it in Harlem."
Reid, who also appeared in the New York City readings of Soap Dish, has also been seen on Broadway in Mary Poppins, The Wedding Singer, La Cage aux Folles, Never Gonna Dance, Thoroughly Modern Millie, Follies and Kiss Me, Kate.
54 Below is located at 254 W. 54th Street. For more information and tickets, visit 54Below.com.

The entire e-resources and repository team went en masse to the latest Repositories Support Project event, "Doing it differently", which was held in Sheffield Cathedral on the 27th of October 2010: "to hear about alternative approaches to repository-like functions, open access and the general field of improving research communications".
Some quick points from the notes I took on the day:
- [I think it was] Stephanie Taylor of UKOLN [who] made a good point in her presentation about the 'forgotten' people in libraries, who ought naturally to be interested in the content held in repositories, but who are rarely included in discussions: inter-library loans staff being an obvious example, with the repo. as source of material to reduce the burden on document supply.
- Our own repository was mentioned in Richard Davis (ULCC)'s examples of SNEEP plugins used 'in the wild' – it's good to think that some of the features of the Lincoln Repository (crafted over in the LIROLEM project that gave it its genesis) are still worthy of being held up as examples.
- Stephanie Meece's demo of the University of the Arts' repository was enlightening; it gave considered and coherent explanation of some of the low-level culture-clash conversations that we've had with our own Art & Design academic staff. It was worth it, too, to hear about the Kultur Consortium and the potential there for mutual support and development of repositories capable of meeting the needs of the Arts.
- Joss Winn was also there, bringing the University of Lincoln contingent to five! Joss gave a talk on using RSS to grease the wheels of scholarly writing and publishing, which has an accompanying blog post.
- Also exciting to see the direction Mendeley is taking [slides], with the potential (in the new year) for new features ("Library Groups") to support library e-journals admininstration and subscription analysis.
We also took the opportunity (as four of the five committee members were in the room) to conduct an informal, stand-up UKCoRR meeting over lunch, at which we laid the groundwork for the next UKCoRR AGM, which will hopefully take place toward the end of February 2011.
Slides and handouts from the day are on the RSP's website.

Process for development outside of IT
What we found was that a minimal process that was very agile in its approach that required the bare minimum amount of documentation added very little impact, but now provides a comfort level to executive management, internal audit, and external audit as well as putting some structure around the risk management and mitigation.
This process is in the initial adoption phase and will be refactored based on the results and lessons learned before it takes on program level coverage. In future updates, I will blog the good, the bad, and maybe even the ugly on how it continues to evolve in practice. Based on initial results, I think that many organizations could benefit from the approach we used…

'Duck Dynasty's' commander talks faith

Who was the first man?
* = Required Fields
NASHVILLE (BP) -- The 8.6 million who viewed the 2013 season premiere of "Duck Dynasty" no doubt enjoy family patriarch Phil Robertson's antics, from his unkempt beard to promises of poor hygiene. But the fisherman and duck caller with a master's degree in education also tells a story of faith.
Robertson's faith walk began in his late 20s during his "sex, drugs and rock and roll lifestyle" when his sister was handing out Christian tracts in a bar where he worked, he said in an interview at LifeWay.com.
"I just decided to follow Him 38 years ago when I heard that He, in fact, was God in flesh. Not only was He God in flesh, it took the blood of God to remove my 'sex, drugs, and rock and roll' lifestyle -- sin," Robertson said. "Well, I'm sitting there listening and I'm like, 'Man, that was a mighty kind thing to do for a scumbag like me.' Not only that, it wouldn't do me any good, though, if something could not be done about the six-foot hole I'm going into -- and you too, by the way."
When the reality show premiered in March 2012 on A&E television, his sons and co-stars told him to contain himself, "because the Hollywood people wouldn't let him get away with preaching," Robertson said.
Robertson's new book "Happy, Happy, Happy: My Life and Legacy as the Duck Commander" will be available in May. He also tells his story of faith at churches and community events across the U.S.
Amidst the quackish wisdom, he seeks to model a Christian life.
"We're godly people. We really don't use filthy language. We really do fear God," Robertson said. "We really do love you; you're our neighbor. We're gonna be good to you, really. And, we love you, irregardless of how you feel about us. In other words, our love for you is not contingent upon whether you love us or not. We just love you and ... you say, 'well I don't like you.' I say that's OK. I love you anyway.
"I just go on down the road."
Robertson credits the Lord with his success, sharing his epiphany from a sinful, unfulfilled school teacher to a faithful fisherman and duck caller set on turning his life's passion into his livelihood.
After accepting Jesus at age 28, he told his wife 'Miss Kay' he would fish the Ouachita River and market and sell the duck call he had created from cedar wood to support her and their four sons.
"But if you fast-forward 40 years, from the fishing and trying to get the duck call going to where we now are, we have now entered the world of Hollywood. We now have a multi-million-dollar business, and Miss Kay's line has now become infamous, 'Phil, I've been poor with you ... I've been rich with you ... rich is better,'" he said.
"Therefore, I either was real lucky, there had to have been a lot of coincidences, or God was right all along, 'Love Me, trust Me, work hard, do what is right and I will bless you and your barns will be filled up, tapped down and running over.' That's what happened. It's either luck or God said, 'I'll bless you. You did good.' I'm leaning toward it was the Almighty.
"There you go."
The entrepreneur was born to a financially stretched family in Vivian, La., and attended Louisiana Tech University on a football scholarship, playing first string quarterback ahead of hall-of-famer Terry Bradshaw. Robertson turned down an opportunity to play pro ball because it would have meant missing duck season, he has said.
He began making duck calls in a backyard shed, shipping orders, marketing the call to stores and earning a living mostly by fishing. His family business has grown to produce and sell duck calls from a manufacturing plant in West Monroe, La., and to market various Duck Commander products in stores across the U.S. and in several countries.

The ring is bold, attractive and well-made. The detailing on the sides of the ring adds to its overall appearance. It is an excellent value for the price,
This massive ring is almost too large for my finger, but it looks nice so I'll try wearing it. I have never had a ring this large and would not have thought I would like anything this large. But it is well made and looks good with my other jewelry so it is a keeper. The accent stones are well placed and the side detail is a definate plus. The stainless steel should keep it looking good for a long time. It is a great value.
This ring is EXACTLY what I was looking for. Not too small, and not too big and gaudy. I added it to my stainless steel jewelry collection, to wear occasionally, and find myself wearing it everyday! I've had numerous comments and recommend everyone check out the selection at o-stock!
Excellent value, well made ring. Looks better in the picture.
It looks awesome however haven't worn it yet I have no doubt that it will live up to the high standards that Overstock.com is known for. As always I was so happy when I received this ring, I was very hesitiate to purchase this ring because of the size. I'm so glad I took the chance and purchased this ring.
Make sure you check dimensions for this item. It is a BIG ring.
Really bold and stands out on your finger, Great to wear daily. One of the nicedt rings for such a good price!
Great ring.. Nice steel. Might buy another. Great for a gift.
This ring is everything I expected. Well made. The ring is big yet not too heavy.

All 10 listed activities are nice and fun, but honestly, my favorite activities in the winter are golf, tennis and surfing in San Diego!
Number 7 says go for a drive. Governor Herbert says we shouldn't drive because of the the bad air, which is it?
soldier hollow is fun but far too expensive. At $20 a person (for 2 hours) you spend $100++ per family...just to tube! It ought to be $5 a person if you bring your own tube. The snow shoeing this year is terrible. Went to my favorite spot last weekend (Aspen Grove) and the snow was so wet and full of water all you did was sink. The trail normally goes all the way to the first waterfall but no one (expect us) made it that far this year. There had been a big avalanche up there this year. You need dry powder to have good snow shoeing. Just saying...

It was on the low end as far as the food, service and atmosphere that I am accustomed to.
CONS - Compared to cruises I have taken on other ships with other lines, the overall experience felt very low-end. The food in the dining room was terrible quality. The shrimp cocktail were slimy and small. The steak was so tough I could not even cut it.
There was not adequate means of egress around the outdoor decks, there was barely enough room to walk by if there was someone else walking the other direction. The ship always felt crowded. The pools were small and cold. The staff was not overly friendly.The sports deck was a joke. The megatron seemed to be playing the same movies over and over. Although EA Sports Bar was great, it was too small to accommodate the quantity of guests who wanted to utilize it. The casino is basically a NO WIN situation offering terrible odds that are not comparable to Atlantic City or Vegas and they charge you for drinks while gambling. Boarding was a major chore at every port and was excessively slow. I would like to have seen more hand sanitizer stations. Bathrooms had a bad odor, even the one in my cabin towards the end of the trip. Staff should be friendlier. Internet was overpriced and of poor quality.
PROS - Guys Burger joint was incredibly addictive. We all called them "crack burgers". Taco/ burrito stand was great, good variety of fresh ingredients. Pizza place was excellent. The drinks were very good all around. The steak house was great. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the entertainment, especially the comedians. NFL playoffs on megatron was great idea and I really enjoyed it. Disembarkation was well executed. Housekeeping did a great job.

I could write a 1.000 word essay on why this album is probably the best album in existence… but very few people would read it. All i'm going to say is that this album solely caputered me emotionally and mentally… It's a masterpiece… Every song could be a single.. and w/out a doubt, it's better than NIN's downward spiral. Here's a breif summary of the album:1. Darkest Days – Great Intro to this great album.. short and sweet – 8/102. Everything I Touch – A Good Stabbing Westward song, but is almost forgotten when compared to the rest of the cd – 6.5/103. How Can I Hold On? – Great Industrial Intro. along with a great chorus to complement it- 9.5/104. Drugstore – Crazy guitar riffs here… this song is SW showing off their industrial talent. However, the song lacks a good melodic beat -6/105. You Complete Me – This is one of those 'hopeless romantic' songs. A great emotional song you'll find yourself singing along with after you've heard it only once! -9.5/10 6. Save Yourself – Also known as the National Industrial Anthem. This is what Stabbing Westward is all about. This is the song that got me into the band. Shame on the fool who hasn't heard it yet- 10/107. Haunting Me – This song is definetly one of my favs. I wonder why it wasn't released as a single?? Oh well, great fast-paced song. 9.75/108. Torn Apart – I wonder why a few reviews i've read trashed this song? Without a doubt this is one of the best songs on the album. This song would defintely pump you up. – 9.5/109. Sometimes it Hurts – A very moving and emotional song. It's hard to rank all these songs in a particular order.. but this song might be in the top 3- 9.75/1010. Drowning – Nice slow song. lots of bass synths. very sad song. Maybe a little TOO sad for me, but I can see myself listening to it alot if i'm feeling miserable- 8/1011. Desperate Now – 2 sad songs in a row. This song is hands down the most emotional song on the cd. Listen to this one if you had a bad day. – 9.5/1012. Goodbye – This song has alot of meaning behind it for chris. I particularly don't listen to it much since its like the 3rd sad song in a row. Not as good as the previous 2 though – 7/1013. When I'm Dead – Out of nowhere, we go from the 3 most sad and slow songs on the album, to the most hardcore song on the album. It has a really good verse and chorus. Good song overall – 8.5/1014. The Thing I Hate – I remember hearing this on the commercial for the first Bloody Roar video game. A fast, angry song, alot of ppl compare this song to the style of NIN. Yet another great song – 9/1015. On Your Way Down – I love this song. Defintely a favorite of mine – 9.75/1016. Waking Up Beside You – Hands down the best song on the cd. Very moving and capturing. Download it and hear it for yourself first. Chris's vocals are riveting and the guitar solo is just something else. – 10/10This is the best album i have ever purchased. I really wonder why this band was never really pushed by the media or MTV… well, i guess industrial rock was never soemthing MTV wanted to put on TV. Oh well, this stuff here takes the cake… the best cd i have bought and will EVER buy.Overall Rating- 10/10
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
I will begin by saying, this was the very first cd that I ever owned. Back in 98 this started my record collection.Now onto the cd. This album is filled with the some of the most deperate, desolate, depressive, sad, lonley, dark and horribly decrepit songs ever to be written. And they are all wonderfully done. Songs about hate (On Your Way Down, The Thin I hate) Death (Goodbye, When I'm Dead, Drowning), Lonliness (Darkest Days, You Complete Me, Sometimes it Hurts, Waking up Beside You), Desperation (Everything I Touch, Drugstore, Torn apart) Then there's How can I hold on, and Save Yourself, and Haunting Me, Which complete one of the sadest albums ever recordered.The style of the music is a hardrock/industrial hybrid. Don't think NIN with this band, they are a lot different. And are both good at what they do. It was unfortunate the Stabbing WEstward had to break up though.It's sort of a suprise that Christopher Hall never actually ended it all. But perhaps this was the way he delt with it, through his music. If you are a person close to ht edge thinking about suicide or any of that, stay very far away from this album. But if you are like me and use this as a tool to help yourslef feel better, relate, and realise that others go through this stuff too, then by all means purchase this prefect album.
Many people call Stabbing Westward a Nine Inch Nails rip off. Darkest Days proves those people wrong. Stabbing Westward is such a unique Industrial band with their own original sound. Every song on this album is packed with so much emotion and power. The instruments and electronics are amazing, and Christopher Hall's voice brings the haunting and brooding lyrics to life like no other singer could. The band has really matured since Ungod and Wither Blister Burn + Peel, and it shows through the music and lyrics on Darkest Days.It's such a shame that Stabbing Westward isn't a very well known band, because the talent they posses is greater than a majority of the bands that are on the covers of magazines. Some people even say they're better than NIN. Those words will never come from my mouth, but I will say this. Stabbing Westward is one of the very few bands whose records I will buy. I highly recommend Darkest Days, especially to fans of Industrial, and to people who don't care to just hear screaming and swearing.
It is obvious that Stabbing Westward's music has greatly grown and matured ever since their original CD; "Ungod". "Wither Blister Burn & Peel" was a great follow-up, but this album is the band's best work. I was actually very surprised to read many fan's reviews, saying that this album wasn't as carefully put together and didn't have the same energy or power behind it.If you listen closely to the lyric's of the songs, the general flow of the music, and the way the songs are structured, you will notice that the album is essentially written in four parts. Similar to the rest of Stabbing Westward's work, the CD focuses on relationships and where they go wrong. The other theme present is how we mess up in life and how to get back on the right track. A very depressing album.The first four songs focus on how we mess up in life and the terrible, threatening mistakes we make. "Darkest Days" is a great opening song, makes great use of the band's percussion and Chris Hall's emotional lyrics. Second is "Everything I Touch", a powerful song discussing how he ruins everything he gets involved with. Afterwards are (in my opinion) the two best songs on the album. "How Can I Hold On? (Dog Attack)" is a fast-paced gothic/industrial tune that gets the adrenaline going. The follow-up is "Drugstore", the most emotionally-charged song on the CD, talking about drug abuse and the influence that people have on each other.The second portion of the album deals with relationships, specifically the ones that are torn apart by lies, disagreements, etc. "You Complete Me" is really the only upbeat song in this section, and pretty much on the album as well. "Save Yourself", "Haunting Me", and "Torn Apart" are more adrenaline-pumping songs, all strong and fast-paced.Then, sitting right in the middle is the portion to listen to when you're feeling down, when you've reached that low point in life that's hard to get out of. "Drowning" and "Goodbye" are slow-moving, but no less emotional than anything else on here. But the real standout's in this section are "Sometimes It Hurts" and "Desperate Now".Wrapping the album up is the most emotion-filled, most powerful portion of the entire album. The theme behind it is standing behind your beliefs in life. The pure anger and violence in "When I'm Dead" and "The Thing I Hate" makes them some of the best industrial tunes out there. "On Your Way Down" uses skillful guitar playing and lyrics, which refer to how celebrities screw people over in life to get to the top. The closing track on the album, "Waking Up Beside You" is enough to bring a lot of people to tears. This song rises above the majority of the rest of the band's work.Although the album is split into four general themes and sections, it also has the capability to flow through as one theme, a strange talent that is rare to find in a CD and a band itself. I strongly recommend this, and anything else by Stabbing Westward, to anyone who likes hard rock and industrial.
"Darkest Days" is a nearly flawless album by Stabbing Westward, and it's definitely the best album they ever put out. From the beginning song, "Darkest Day," to the ending song, "Waking Up Beside You," Christopher Hall and the boys discover variations on the theme of loneliness, and they are truly musical, lyrical, and painful."Save Yourself" is one of my favorites on this album. It's an oddly despairing, yet inspiring, song. Hall sings about empowerment, and how he's not about to save anyone, because he can't even save himself. Like I said; very ironic, yet very moving. Five stars for that one.Right before that is another of my favorites, the only truly "happy" song on this album, "You Complete Me." Here, Hall sings of the happier, quieter moments in a relationship, where people truly feel a part of one another. Five stars for that."Torn Apart" and "Sometimes it Hurts" are both about when a relationship breaks up, and how bad it feels. The next three songs, "Drowning, "Desperate Now," and "Goodbye," talk about how it might be better sometimes to die than deal with all that pain. Stabbing Westward does this mood the best in the first song, "Drowning," where it's all very subdued, soft, and a real mood breaker. "Desperate Now" is more like an opera, whereas "Goodbye" is half-and-half between the two. Five for "Drowning," four for the others.The next two songs are full of anger and rage. "When I'm Dead" talks about how the other person should have treated them better, while "The Thing I Hate" talks about how we all worry that we're turning into whatever we hate when we feel miserable. Five stars for each of them.The other songs, "On Your Way Down," "Everything I Touch (I Break)" and the others are all excellent, nearly perfect.So, as I said, it's an almost perfect album. The only things that mar it are the occasional flatness of Christopher Hall's vocals (which could be said to be for emotional effect) and, oddly enough, the layout of the album. It might have worked a bit better if the three down songs "Goodbye," "Drowning" and "Desperate Now" weren't all lined up in a row; that lessens their impact. In addition, putting two back to back hard rockers _after_ those three slower, sadder songs is also a bit of unusually odd packaging. If they'd been intermingled, it would have been more of a paradigm of a relationship, as people go through many feelings quickly when a relationship ends.The last song, "Waking Up Beside You" is probably the best song Stabbing Westward ever recorded. It's emotionally powerful, heartwrenching, and sad. Hall sang it to perfection, shading the lyrics a touch here and there to add emphasis.It's really a shame Stabbing Westward broke up after their next, self-titled album, because they had a great deal of promise. Still, they left us this album behind, which is better than at least 90% of everything else I've heard in the last ten years.A shade under five stars, recommended.
