This is a less-traveled, low-end difficulty route on the right side of the Bookend. Its interesting and enjoyable 2nd pitch ascends the last signficant, left-facing dihedral on the right end of the cliff. The first pitch (partially shared with Sorcerer and Climb of the Ancient Mariner) can be wet for a few days after a good rain or snow. Its easterly aspect makes for a warmer warmup when west-facing or shaded south-facing aren't quite ready.
This is on the east side of the Bookend. It skirts right of Sorcerer.
Wires, hexes #9-11 (useful), cams #0 TCU to #4 Camalot. Something huge if you're going to try to protect that wide crack directly on P2. 60m rope is preferred.

Cabins are lovely, very good design features.
Ports of call were good, particularly the countryside of the Azores - worth a holiday visit if you like nature and scenery.
Shows were OK but would have liked more after dinner for late sitting rather than before which tends to leave you at a loose end late evening.
Overall a lovely ship, excellent crew and facilities - thoroughly recommended.

Make Me Your Guinea Pig
The other day I signed up for a 10 day meditation class/retreat/experience. Way back when I was in LA a friend of mine raved about this particular practice, Vipassana. I meant to go, but ten days was a lot to spare and I didn't get around to it. Since then I think of doing it a couple times a year, but never end up fitting it in. Finally, two days ago, I put my name on a waiting list for a session in California, where I estimate I'll be by the time it comes around.
I don't know much about the particular practice, although the blurbs on the site sound promising. They say things like, "see things as they actually are". Who wouldn't want that?
The real appeal of going, though, is the extremity of it. It's ten days straight of meditating for nine hours. Complete silence. Simple meals, tea, and simple lodging. That's at least ninety hours of meditation I will have under my belt by the time I leave.
Up until now I haven't really done any meditation. The notable exception is twenty minutes or so at the top of a sand dune in the Sahara. We made friends with a tour group from Italy. One of them gave us a yoga class under the stars, and the next prodded us into meditating.
Over the years I constantly hear rational people whose opinions I trust espouse the benefits of meditation. Once in a while I'll give it a go for a few minutes, get restless, and give up. After this meditation class I'll definitely know how to do it, and have an idea of whether or not it's worth continuing.
As I signed up for the class, I was a little bit giddy. I love finding new semi-extreme things that I can do that fit this risk profile. If it works, the benefits are huge, but if it fails I've wasted just a little time and have probably learned something or at least gotten a story out of it.
And that brings me to my question: what would you have me try? I won't put any restrictions on it, because I don't want to stifle anyone's creativity. The best answer would be something along the lines of, "I've always wanted to try _______ but I haven't had the time/discipline/motivation" or "I got into _____ on a whim and it changed my life."
Let me know what you've got.

Otsego County officials are considering a plan that would increase the amount that Otsego Manor patients who pay for their own stays at the county-owned nursing home pay by approximately $25 a day.
The current private pay rate at the 174-bed Manor is $250 a day.
The plan under consideration, proposed by the Manor's new administrator, Kurt Apthorpe, would bring that daily rate to $275. The proposal would also provide the residents with telephone and cable television services without charging them separately for those amenities, as is done now, officials said.
County Rep. Katherine Stuligross, D-Oneonta, the chairwoman of the Manor Committee, said the daily rate for the Manor's private pay patients has remained unchanged since 2004.
"It's reasonable to have an increase after nine years without one because things have gone up dramatically," she said in an interview.
Officials said Apthorpe is projecting that increasing the rate to $275 per day would yield an estimated $186,000 a year in revenue.
The private pay residents are those who do not qualify for Medicaid.
Residents pay $8 per month for cable television and $15 a month for phone service. The proposed increase was first discussed this week at the Manor Committee's monthly meeting, and is expected to be acted on by the panel at an emergency meeting this morning. However, if the proposal advances, it will likely need the approval of the full Board of Representatives.
"Since there has been no increase in the private pay rate for many years, it was the feeling of the committee that because costs keep accelerating that this increase was only fair," said Acting County Treasurer Russ Bachman.
The proposed increase comes at a time when the county is facing a multi-million budget deficit, much of it driven by the public subsidy that the county provides to the Manor. The county representatives have formed a local development corporation charged with selling the Manor to a private health care provider. Ten parties, including Bassett Medical Center, have signaled that they plan to submit proposals detailing how much they would pay and how they would operate the facility if they purchase it.
Stuligross, who is also the chairwoman of the Otsego County Health Care Facilities Corp., said the suitors for the nursing home have displayed "a very high interest" in acquiring it.
The deadline for proposals is Sept. 27, and the field of parties planning to submit a proposal could grow to 11 by then, she noted.

Huhne: One of the 'Chiltern Hundreds'
The disgraced former cabinet minister Chris Huhne has now formally resigned as the MP for Eastleigh.
Strictly speaking, MPs aren't allowed to resign so, in keeping with tradition, he has been appointed Steward and Bailiff of the Three Hundreds of Chiltern (the "Chiltern Hundreds").
It's an ancient (and honorary) position, which disqualifies the holder from sitting as an MP.
So Mr Huhne is now a former MP, and the Liberal Democrats can get on with setting a date for the Eastleigh by-election.

Gentle Winds = Gentle Vacation
Review submitted: March 24, 2014 Date of arrival: March 1, 2014
The property was as advertised, clean and well maintained. The beds were very comfortable and the view from the screened porch was outstanding. The kitchen was well equipped. Don't go to the grocery store until you check out the kitchen and liquor supply. You will be surprised at what you don't have to buy especially spices. Lots of different rums so add a liquor that isn't already there.
Easy walk to the great beach and pool. Loved the snack shack. Great rum drinks. Overall Gentle Winds is a great complex that is clean and well maintained. Great for families everyone was very friendly. We can't wait to go back.
Owners response: We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Caribbean Breeze! We are always looking for ways to make the condo more comfortable and more enjoyable, so I am sure the next time you stay at Caribbean Breeze you will like it even more!

Our 40th Anniversary
Review submitted: July 15, 2013 Date of arrival: June 21, 2013
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Gentle Winds.
The only 2 problems we found were:
1) The 2 small cooler bags were broken and need to be replaced
2) It would be nice if there was some way to let tenants know where the beach chairs, etc are. We never used the second bedroom & only discovered them at the end of our trip!
I had brought all cleaning supplies & had the dishwashing liquid container burst & leaked through the zip-lock all into my husbands suitcase! That would have also been nice to know that everything was already there. Spare toilet paper in the bathroom cupboards would also be appreciated.
The pool & beach were amazing. The pool kiosk was only open twice - I guess because it was out of season. We would have liked to play "ping-pong" but there were no whole balls available.
All-in-all I have given this property a 5***** rating.

Paradise in St.Croix
Review submitted: May 5, 2013 Date of arrival: April 20, 2013
We absolutely love this condo! We have stayed there several times. The owner is wonderful and does everything to make your stay perfect. The attention to detail is above and beyond. I would and have recommend this to friends and acquaintances. We love the location also, its close enough to Christansted and many restaurants. We will definitely return in the future.

Just returned from Caribbean Breeze
Review submitted: November 16, 2012 Date of arrival: November 4, 2012
The condo was exactly what we had hoped for. Clean, comfortable, well appointed and beachfront. The Gentle Winds complex is beautiful and extraordinarily well maintained. Probably the nicest pool on the island.The beach is beautiful and uncrowded. Good snorkeling just outside the swim area of the beach, which itself is very nice, I didn't step on a rock once. Mike at the pool side bar and grill does a very nice job. Some unit owners were in residence during our stay and they were all friendly, welcoming and justifiably proud of Gentle Winds. Our family (myself, wife, two 16 year olds and a ten year old) all agree that we can put this on the list of places to return. The Vreeland's are responsive to questions and very easy to work with. I wouldn't hesitate to rent from them again. The north shore of St. Croix may be too quiet for the "partying" crowd but for relaxing, playing in the ocean and enjoying the Caribbean lifestyle it's perfect. I would advise renting a car if you want to explore the island. Again, we couldn't have been happier with our trip. Well...maybe if we didn't have to leave.

Tropical Dream Destination
Review submitted: August 9, 2012 Date of arrival: July 31, 2012
We just returned from our stay in Caribbean Breeze at Gentle Winds. We have been using VRBO's for over 15 years. We have always done well with our choices and this St Croix gem was one of the best. Kent and Dawn go above and beyond with providing information regarding the condo, St. Croix and other material to enhance the travel experience. Their unit is as described in other reviews but one cannot do justice to the stunning views the condo provides. The Gentle Winds complex is beautiful with great snorkeling just feet into the water. We visited a few other beaches and we and our two adventurous sons (18 & 22yrs) decided the beach, just steps from Caribbean Breeze, was the best. It seemed like a shoot site for a commercial! Wonderful cuisine for all tastes can be found, historical sites,rain forest, a casino and quaint town shopping are all on this authentic island. We enjoyed no crowds during off season and the weather was great. We highly recommend Carribean Breeze as a dream destination.

Super home- among the best for VBRO
Review submitted: July 3, 2012 Date of arrival: June 9, 2012
This is a lovely unit in a quiet location. The beach really is a few step away. The pool is very nice - non chlorine. Ideal for a family that wants to get away from resort hubub. Restaurants and supermarkets are just a few minutes away.
No useful cell phone reception is not a big deal. Skype over wireless IP was easy and used 800 dial around on the landline. TV signal was fine. If you use cell phone on island use ATT or Spint DO NOT use Verizon (or expect big bill). An ATT GoPhone is easy for $2/day - but one from the local Radio Shack.
Marina next door is a must for a ride out to Salt River (and a dive). Nearby Cane Bay is exquisite.

Gentle Winds - Caribbean Breeze - St. Croix
Review submitted: June 24, 2012 Date of arrival: June 23, 2012
We arrived just yesterday at Caribbean Breeze and it is exactly as advertised and expected. Kent and Dawn have been just great to work with and available to talk to anytime we needed to ask questions. The location is great with central access to most north shore areas easily. Grounds here well maintained and pool/beach is very nice. Be sure to stop by the beach shack and grab a snack. Unit is nicely decorated, was clean and tidy. Highly recommend Dawn and Kent's place here as it is obvious they take good care of their unit. Oh and located in Building I which is right on the ocean :) St. Croix so far has been nothing short of fantastic.

We visited in May 2012. Off season but perfect for a relaxing getaway. Loved the north shore and its down to earth locals. Played bingo with everyone at off the wall and enjoyed sunset and shots at cane bay. Enjoyed the proxomity to the Pirate Tavern we enjoyed the Cruzan Confusions before
going out for dinners. This condo met our needs perfectly nice beach and beautiful pool within 100 yards. You can snorkle right there. The owners were great about preparing us for our trip. We will definitely return

Stayed for a week at Caribbean Breeze on St. Croix. The condo was beautiful, comfortable and very clean. The furnishings were very nice and the unit was very well maintained.
The complex itself, Gentle Winds was fabulous! The pool, the beach the views, and Karen at the Beach Shack were all wonderful.
We truly enjoyed our stay at Caribbean Breeze and St. Croix and will definitely be back again and again!

Thank You, I agree, I just started reading this site and I'm disheartened by the cruel things people are saying to one another. I'm a fan of the weekly when it arrives in my mailbox each Friday, however I'm choosing to stay away from the website from now on. The negativity makes me too sad.

Technology is changing so quickly these days and new mediums are opening up many new doors. Blogging is merely one of them. Every major news site, and most small ones, allow comments on stories and blogging for their readers to discuss current topics and is aimed at allowing the reader become more directly involved with the discussion. Without blogs the world would be much different, although at times they may be offensive or seem to be filled with drama, that is what people enjoy discussing. Ever read a book or watched a movie without any conflict...I didn't think so.

The craft of luthier, or instrument maker, is certainly not for everybody. Instruments made from well-seasoned woods by experienced hands in tiny and cosy workshops have a completely different soul than the mass-produced instruments that leave the factory every day. The luthier who knows what he or she is doing will produce an instrument that is going to be unique, simply because the manual processes carried out and especially the energy put to the task vary in every occasion.
Moreover, there are some luthiers who produce instruments that factories cannot or do not even care to produce. In these cases, it is thanks to the instrument makers that some instruments survive to our days, and sometimes they are even reborn. Such is the case of Gunnar Stenmark, a very talented instrument maker from Ås (Jämtland, Sweden) who specializes in traditional and newly-developed folk wind instruments.
Gunnar earned his fame for building härjedalspipor but he also builds offerdalspipa, bjårkspipa, caval, åspipa, stenlundapipa and månmarkapipa . He is also a member of the band Glamaleik and became a riksspelman in 2007.
I own two fipple flutes made by him: a månmarkapipa in A and an offerdalspipa in E. Both are of really good quality and produce an astonishing sound and tone. The månmarkapipa is a 7-hole variety of the härjedalspipa, which adds an extra semitone below the keynote (which in my case would be a G#). This modification came as a suggestion by probably the most well-known Swedish piper, Göran Månsson, because there are many Swedish folk melodies that have this interval. As a result of this joint-project of research and manufacture the flute bears part of both their last-names (månsson+stenmark = månmarkapipa).
Here follows a video I made with pictures of a trip to Skåne and Öland (Sweden) and where I play a melody of my own on the månmarkapipa. It is entitled "Ett Vallspel" (A shepherd´s tune):

If you would like to have a månmarkapipa (or any other Swedish whistle) of your own, you can order them directly from the maker here

The University of Maine encourages the full participation of all of its members in its educational mission by offering tuition waivers for eligible employees and their dependents. Employees should consult the appropriate collective bargaining agreement or the employee handbook (non-represented employees) for more information on tuition waiver benefits.
Generally, eligible full-time employees are allowed a maximum of two tuition-free courses per semester or summer session, not to exceed a total of eight credit hours. Eligible part-time employees are allowed a maximum of one tuition-free course per semester or summer session, not to exceed a total of four credit hours.
The spouse, domestic partner, or dependent children of the employee are eligible for a 50% tuition waiver provided the spouse, domestic partner, or dependent children are attending the University of Maine as a full-time or part-time matriculated student.
Dependents of employees called to active military service are eligible for the dependent tuition waiver.
Dependents of retirees with 20 or more years of service are eligible for the dependent tuition waiver.
The waiver does not apply to mini-courses or other non-semester or non-credit course offerings.
Under IRS Regulations, the value of dependent tuition waivers used for graduate courses and tuition waivers used by an employee's domestic partner for both undergraduate and graduate courses are treated as imputed income to the employee and are taxable.
This benefit is not available when an employee (except for employees in the AFUM unit) is on an unpaid leave of absense of more than 90 days (except for military call-up), long-term disability, or Worker's Compensation.
Requests by an employee to take a course duing his or her normally scheduled work hours shall be subject to supervisory approval. Such requests shall not be unreasonably denied. In the event that approval is granted, the supervisor must make arrangement for the employee to make up time which was missed from work unless the employee is approved to take a leave without pay or annual leave for this purpose.

Internet Television, Without the Sports
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Some people may be surprised the major studios are still willing to do business with Netflix (NFLX). Especially that Walt Disney (DIS) is apparently willing to do business with Netflix.
As the New York Post reported the other day, Disney has given the streaming service exclusive rights to some of its old movies, starting in 2016, for a reported $350 million, beating out Liberty Media's Starz network.
Our Rocco Pendola, who was a "bear's bear" on Netflix throughout 2011, came around this summer when CEO Reed Hastings started talking about the company as "Internet Television." Signing up exclusive content is the key to success, he thinks, regardless of cost.
Personally, I don't think the cost will be that high, because Hollywood is desperate to escape a trap of its own making. That trap is called "basic cable," in which subscribers buy a package of channels created by the operator, whether they want these channels or not.What turned this great deal into a bad deal, and will soon turn it into no deal, is what customers want most. They want live sports. What has been happening over the last few years is that sports has been slowly crowding entertainment out of basic cable. When a channel like AMC tries to get a small price increase, war breaks out, as summarized at this recent article in Minyanville. But the operators seem to have no problem adding new "basic" channels covering sports teams and leagues. Comcast's (CMCSA) NBC Sports Channel paid $250 million for England's Premier League. News Corp.'s (NWS) Fox unit paid about $1.5 billion to eventually control the YES Network of the New York Yankees, then moved to buy the Cleveland Indians' network, writes the New York Daily News. All the moves around college football these days are about cable networks. Rutgers and Maryland are joining the Big Ten because the Big Ten Network wants into East Coast cable boxes, as CBS Sports notes. Even individual teams are in the cable network game, like the University of Texas' Longhorn Network, produced by Disney's ESPN. It adds up. Sports now represents half of your cable bill, as Miami's CBS (CBS) affiliate reports. If you don't like sports, tough -- you're paying for it anyway. While they're paying big bucks to show you Rutgers or Stoke City, cable operators are turning the screws on entertainment channels.

FRENCH DRESSING: Tommy Hilfiger, which was sold last month to Phillips-Van Heusen, is very close to signing a deal to open a massive Paris flagship at 65 Avenue des Champs-Elysées, according to sources. The site, a three-story space of more than 10,000 square feet, is occupied by the bar-restaurant-store Culture Bière. It sits between chain restaurant Léon de Bruxelles and the Nike store, on the stretch that runs between metro stops Franklin D. Roosevelt and George V. Although Hilfiger officials are mum about the French flagship, it was learned it is slated for an October opening. The store will feature all of Hilfiger's women's, men's and children's lines. Tommy Hilfiger intends to keep his store on Rue de Saint-Honoré, which opened in fall 2006.
COME TOGETHER: Mario Boselli, president of the Camera Nazionale della Moda Italiana, Italy's fashion chamber, is keeping his promise. Reacting to one of the most controversial fashion weeks ever, essentially truncated to four days in February, Boselli had vowed things would change in September. So last week, he and leading designers met to discuss the dates of the upcoming edition slated for Sept. 22 to 28. Top fashion houses now will show sprinkled throughout the week, making the event less stressful. "I'm pleased that my call to responsibility was well received and I don't think I was the only one hoping it would be," said Giorgio Armani. "The time had come to seriously reconsider the calendar issue around which a whole industrial system rotates. It also shows that we Italians are perfectly capable to assert ourselves to enhance what the world acknowledges to be a rich and inimitable creative heritage."
Prada Group chief executive officer Patrizio Bertelli echoed a similar sentiment. "The Milan Fashion Week is fundamental for our businesses, and it's indispensable that it continues to be the driving force it has always been," said Bertelli. "We have made a significant step forward that signals an important sense of belonging we had been afraid of losing because of recent polemics."
HOPE FOR FALL: French denim maker April77 may be down, but it's not completely out, according to founder Brice Partouche. On March 29, the company entered "redressement judiciaire," a French legal status similar to Chapter 11 bankruptcy, but Partouche is confident April77 will emerge from it and start shipping product again in the fall. "The brand is alive and safe. We are going to come back for production. We will have a proper offer for fall," he explained. "We had some internal issues that led to financial problems, which prevented us from shipping spring goods. We missed a season, but we are not out of business." Partouche said the company plans to restructure, move to a smaller office and downsize its workforce to cut costs. He said creditors owed money will be paid at some point in the future. According to sources who work with April77, many, if not all, employees have been absent from its offices for some time. Partouche declined to comment on the status of his employees until French administrators make decisions on the company's future. "I will know more in a week," he said.
TALENT SHOE: In the past, shoe company Melissa collaborated with the likes of Jean Paul Gaultier, Thierry Mugler, Vivienne Westwood, Patrick Cox, Karim Rashid and Zaha Hadid. Future partnerships, however, could well be with American talent. The Brazilian firm just became a member of the Council of Fashion Designers of America's Business Service Network. As part of the partnership, the company, known for its eco-footwear, plans to work with the CFDA and develop opportunities for its designers. "Melissa has mostly collaborated with international designers and artists," said CFDA executive director Steven Kolb. "They have been really amazing, but we think adding an American voice with CFDA now involved will push Melissa to new creative heights."

22 oz bottle into Yeti snifter.
A - golden copper, off white head, a bit of lacing
S - pine and pineapple, slight spicy character, some sweetness coming through
T - starts with a lot of citrus bitter hops, then it transitions to sweet caramel, finally the aftertaste is like a shot made of 1 part grapefruit juice and 2 parts rye whiskey
M - creamy, but still with good spritzy carbonation
O - was worried with the aroma bring light on the rye, flavor killed it though, will need to try along terrapin rye squared and founders rye pa

Part of the new "Hatter" series.Poured into an imperial nonic a dull slightly hazed burnt orange tinged copper with a large fluffy two finger slight off white head atop.Love the aromas,bold spicy rye mixed with sharp citric hops,its no holds barred aroma wise.Sharp and a little tingly in the mouth and on the lighter side,a good mix of citric hops and spicy rye,there is a bit of toastiness in there.A solid American style rye beer,loaded with citric hops and full on spicy rye.

A - Pours a beautiful copper color with two fingers if tan head and a big stream of bubbles risky. Head has excellent retention and leaves a ton of lacing.
S -- Nice amount if citrus hops and rye spiciness in the nose. Slow some subtle caramel malt.
T - Though this bottle is a few months old, there is still a nice citrus hops presence in the taste, along with a good amount if rye spiciness. Caramel malt comes in midway, but plays a backseat role here. Very enjoyable taste.
M - Medium mouthfeel, slightly resinous. Nice amount of carbonation.
O - Probably the best of the Hatter variant series, this was a nicely balanced IPA with a nice hop/spice profile.

Opens with a big gush of foam. Oh ohh. This is going to be a problem. Ultra carbonation wastes about 1/3 of the bottle.
Hazy amber body with a massive egg shell colored head.
Smells of carmel, sweet sticky green apple and funk. Some lemon pledge mixed with shoe polish.
Tastes of sweet cheeries, musty blanket, toffee and earthy hops. I know already this is not right but I must tell of my experience.
Mouthfeel is medium thin with little carbonation remaining. A sticky sweet and funky aftertaste remains.
Overall this is funkified and not right. I hope this can be resolved in a future batch.
2011 vintage.

Amber to a rich brass hue with a quarter inch of beige head on top. Brussels lacing. The aroma is an interesting melange of spicy rye,piny hops and light malt. The taste is rye and light malt in the forefront. The piny hops kick in and the back of the palate and then it is rye and light malt in the finish. The mouth is slightly sticky and the hops and rye gently tickle the tastebuds. Not my favorite rye IPA,but still worth checking out.

Appearance: deep amber with slight brown, about 19 SRM, great clarity
Aroma: citrusy, floral, piney, spicy, toasted bread
Taste: bready and spicy with distinct floral, citrus, and pine hop character. Toasty and warming, with great refreshing quality on the finish, drying thru the finish,
Mouthfeel: Beautifully medium and smoothly drinkable body, light and nimble on the palate, not heavily weighing
Overall Impression: The best of the RyePAs I have had this far. Beautifully balanced with easily noticeable but not overwhelming rye character, great American citrus/floral/piney hop regimen, and very clean and smooth dry finish. New Holland really knocked it out of the park with this one.

(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer has a slightly hazy deep orange body with a swirl of microbubbles and a super thick beige head that takes up 3/4 of the glass and sticks to the glass in clouds with each sip.
S- The rich fragrant fresh hop pellet aroma is full of green and citrus notes with a strong support of fresh caramel malt that is dry. There is a touch of earthy rye that comes through as the beer opens up. All the aromas blend together and I find my self just huffing the class.
T- The dry spicy grain flavor blends into spicy green hops with a nice bite from hops and grain in the finish. The soft spice and hop hint lingers in the finish with a touch of bitterness coming through as the beer opens.
M- The medium-full mouthfeel has a slightly slick texture and no alcohol heat noticed.
O- This beer is just like picking fresh hops off the vine, the aroma is so powerful and full. The taste was nice but didn't have the depth of the aroma.

A sort of bronze, deep and murky dark orange color, this Rye version of Hatter looks the part, sans the cloudines typically accompanying the appearance of dry-hopped beers. It does have some hazy depth, though. A just off-white foam is strong and dense with a retention akin to the structure itself. Lacing is left in firmly-deposited patches.
Herbal with an evident spicy and earthy overtone belying the rye, it's also nicely hopped with strong notes of citrus and leafy bitterness. It's strong and somehow both dusky and bright, which actually makes for a nice combination. To balance, some drier bread notes of toast and crust combine with a bit of caramel sweetness.
The medium body sports a steady and firm carbonation that makes for a good, crisp and creamy movement on the tongue. As the dryness kicks in, it takes a little out of the body, but not too much.

Barnyard aroma. Cloudy light brown bodied, a quarter inch of retained head. Something funky with a nice rye edge that leads the mild spiciness. Good drinkability. Bomber with outstanding carbonation that not only foamed through, but popped my locking cap afterward.

A - orangish amber with a big, white, soft, thick head that has great retention
S - citrusy, faintly spicy, earthy
T - spicy, floral, piny, earthy, bitter, faint bread, peppery
M - medium bodied, smooth, well carbonated
This is a really nice, smooth, peppery rye ipa. I would have preferred a more citrusy hop character to go along with the spicy rye, but this hop character does it's job and is nicely balanced. It's definitely worth a try.

In the taste, dry notes of rye, mellow grapefruit like hops. A small hop bite and medium bodied mouthfeel, with a dry rye and small hop citrus in the aftertaste. Overall this was a very good beer and will search for more.

Slightly cloudy orange color with a minimal head. There is a generous amount of sticky lacing.
The small has a nice citrus touch to it followed by caramel, but finishes with a strange musty scent that reminded me of wet fall leaves.
It has good flavor, though. It's pretty hoppy with grapefruit and a twist of lemon. There's a nice caramel balance and finishes with pepper from the rye.
Mouthfeel is smooth and dry. Moderate carbonation.
This is the best of the recent hatter variations, by far. I prefer the regular hatter to all of them, but this gives it a run.

The unit of Xerox that may end-up managing Cincinnati's parking meters, Affiliated Computer Services, is among the largest government contractors in the nation, FOX19 has learned, doing everything from processing Medicaid payments to tracking down owners of unclaimed property for states. But our research shows ACS's practices on the East and West Coasts have led to major controversies.
The most pertinent for the Cincinnati community are audits conducted by the inspector general for the city of Washington, DC. In his reports from February 2007 and November 2012, he paints a picture of a company that mishandles tickets and charges DC nearly $9 million more than it would've cost had city leaders put out the contract for competitive bidding.
In a detailed e-mail to FOX19, Xerox spokesman Kevin Lightfoot refutes many of the allegations in the DC inspector general's reports. He says the parking audit was "wrong, based on misinformation and inaccurate assumptions." For instance, regarding improperly issued tickets, Lightfoot says the auditor thought codes on the meters meant one thing when they really meant another.
As for the money involved, Lightfoot says ACS/Xerox is bringing in 62% more revenue from parking meters than DC would be getting if it were an in-house operation. He points out in 1997, when ACS took over management of DC's parking meters, revenue was $5.5 million. "Today it's more than $25 million," Lighthouse said.
In Indiana, where ACS manages Medicaid and other public benefit programs, a government investigation wasn't so easy to knock down. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission sued ACS in federal court, accusing it and its staffing firm of violating the Americans with Disabilities Act by "refusing to accommodate an employee's known disabilities and by terminating her assignment to ACS instead," the agency said in 2011. In the end, ACS and the staffing agency settled the suit. ACS agreed to pay $55,000 and entered into a three-year consent decree in which it promised to track disability-related issues in its workplaces and to "respond appropriately to requests for accommodation," the EEOC said.
In Oregon and Washington State, where ACS provides call centers for companies like Verizon Wireless, FOX19 discovered that at least two lawsuits have been filed after employees said they weren't paid for overtime that they literally worked every day. Employees say it takes them 15 minutes to fire-up their computers and get all of the software running. Then it takes another 10-15 minutes to shut everything down. But court documents say ACS didn't consider the call center employees to be "on the clock" unless they were logged into their computers. ACS/Xerox settled the suit in Oregon last August, according to The Oregonian newspaper, but denied violating any laws. Each employee affected in Oregon was to receive $50 to $260, the paper reported.
FOX19 learned today that the lawsuit in Seattle is still pending.
There is good news for ACS/Xerox, though, too. As FOX19 reported last month, Indianapolis has hired the company to manage its parking meters. And according to news accounts since then, Indy is raking in the dough. While the city netted just $339,000 from parking meters in 2010 (ACS didn't sign-on until November of that year), last year the city earned $2.5 million, according to the Indianapolis Business Journal.
However, some business owners here say they aren't as concerned about how much money ACS will end-up generating for Cincinnati as they are about the customers that might be driven away from their stores by changes to the city's parking rules.
The proposal passed its first hurdle in a city council committee meeting Monday afternoon.

New York was inhabited by the Algonquin, Iroquois, and Lenape Native American groups at the time Dutch settlers moved into the region in the early 17th century. In 1609, the region was first claimed by Henry Hudson for the Dutch. Fort Nassau was built near the site of the present-day capital of Albany in 1614. The Dutch soon also settled New Amsterdam and parts of the Hudson River Valley, establishing the colony of New Netherland. The British took over the colony by annexation in 1664.
The borders of the British colony, the Province of New York, were roughly similar to those of the present-day state. About one third of all the battles of the Revolutionary War took place in New York. New York became an independent state on July 9, 1776, and enacted its constitution in 1777. The state ratified the United States Constitution on July 26, 1788 to become the eleventh state of the union.
New York is surrounded by Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Canada

Utah's Hogle Zoo is presenting a unique opportunity to connect the Salt Lake community with our resident orangutans while raising money to preserve orangutans in Borneo. Our orangutans have many hidden talents, including artwork. In their spare time the orangutans have prepared their art masterpieces to be showcased and each piece is available for sale. Partnering with local artists, a handful of one-of-a-kind pieces will be created, combining the talents of both the orangutans and the artists. All proceeds from art sales will be donated to conserving orangutans and their rainforest habitat.
Click here to preview the art work.
The plight of the wild orangutan is severe. The major threat to the orangutans of Sumatra and Borneo is the development of palm oil plantations. Palm oil for our consumption is harvested in the last remaining home of wild orangutans. The severe decline of orangutan populations is a direct result of destruction of habitat, leading to starvation, and the deliberate killing of orangutans who venture onto palm oil plantations. Fifty percent of the Sumatran orangutan population has disappeared in the last eight years; some experts predict that the palm oil industry will drive orangutans to extinction within a decade. Click here to see a consumer guide for palm oil free products.
The benefits of this program are numerous. Painting provides Zoo animals an outlet to express their intelligence, personalities, and abilities. This program allows them to fulfill their mission as ambassadors for their species. Their artistic creations generate precious funds that support conservation actions on the ground and behavioral enrichment initiatives at the Zoo. At the same time, this program engages the local community by creating a deeper appreciation for the lives of all animals and inspiring a greater concern for their well-being. All of this is achieved through the exhibition and sale of the animals' own art.
The artwork for the 2011 "ORANGE UTAHN ART – Orangutans Helping Orangutans," was on on display in the Zoo's Auditorium October 8-15. Click here to view art work. A reception and silent auction was held on October 15th. All proceeds raised from the sale of art work went directly to help support conservation efforts of orangutans in the wild. Check back for details about our next show.

For Crist's Sake
by Jack Landsman, Thu Aug 19, 2010 at 02:22:01 PM EDT
The U.S. Senate race down in Florida has to be the most fascinating contest in this year's mid-term elections for me. I've been thinking about it a lot recently because of these volatile polls that have come out. Supporters of Marco Rubio, the beleaguered Republican golden boy, were first elated when Mason-Dixon and Rasmussen released polls showing Rubio +5. The pendulum shifted again when Quinnipiac released its most recent survey showing Gov. Charlie Crist ahead by 7 points.
On the Democratic side, Rep. Kendrick Meek demonstrates why it's hard out there for a small-time politician. Ever since Gov. Crist (the orange, unprincipled one, for the casual voters) pole-vaulted out of the Florida GOP to independence, Meek has been a non-entity. And for his part, President Barack Obama hadn't been showing the brother any love. And while he's keeping his options open by continuing to flirt with the orange governor, Obama did put on the charm offensive yesterday and ordered a sandwich for the congressman during a trip there.
Even though the president still hasn't headlined a fundraiser or campaign event exclusively for Meek, the congressman's campaign used every chance it could Wednesday to get him close to the president.
Meek was on the airport tarmac to greet Obama when he arrived, and the two later made a stop at Jerry's Famous Deli in South Beach for corned beef sandwiches.
After purchasing Meek's sandwich, the president joked, "Don't say I never gave you anything."
This race is a welcome, fun departure from an otherwise bitter and depressing political climate. The two Democrats are both essentially good guys. I can see how some view the White House's past treatment of Kendrick Meek (an early supporter of Hillary Rodham Clinton) as the epitome of its decadence. I tend to cut the president some slack on this one. (We all misread the tea leaves sometimes and have to pay the price, Kendrick!) Besides, Meek's primary opponent, Jeff Greene, who was once gaining, is a charming politician—a kind of vulgar charm, no doubt. (Jeff Greene is like Bill Clinton with a billion dollars and no Hillary to instill a modicum of discipline.)

A crop of American cockroaches brings in serious cash.
Corey Breininger was just 10 years old when prosecutors say his adoptive mother, Judith Hawkey, abused him, manipulated him and forced him to shoot and kill his own father.
A judge called Hawkey manipulative, evil and cold blooded Thursday before sentencing her to the serve the maximum possible penalty for aggravated murder, life in prison without the possibility of parole.
Robert Breininger was found dead of a single gunshot wound to the head on November 3, 2003 in the bedroom of his Mark Center, Ohio home. At the time police ruled the death accidental.
Hawkey got away with murder for nearly a decade, until Corey came forward at the age of 19 and told police what really happened. Hawkey was arrested, tried and convicted of aggravated murder, child endangering and insurance fraud.
Corey Breininger says he is satisfied with the outcome of the case.
"I feel like she got what she deserved. This is just a weight off my shoulders," said Breininger. "I can get on with my life. Stop living in the shadows. I don't have to worry about anything now. My biggest fear.... she's gone."
Prosecutors say Hawkey abused Breininger both emotionally and physically.
"This was a pattern of conduct, physical and emotional abuse, and it was so effective it flew under the radar for years," said Defiance County Prosecuting Attorney Morris J. Murray.
Corey Breininger says he hopes something positive can come from the tragedy. He says he plans to work with other children going through abuse.
"I'm going to do whatever I can to help anybody. I think that's my calling in life."

By Jim Wallace - bio | email ALBANY, GA (WALB) – One experiment Albany Firefighters conducted tested new fire safe cigarettes now mandated in Georgia. Those cigarettes are designed to go out if you stop smoking them.
Cigarettes cause fires that kill 700 people and injure 3,000 every year in the United States. 74 year old Audrey Baty died in an Albany house fire January 7th, and Investigators determined the fire was caused by a cigarette. That tragedy influenced firefighters to check out how safe these new cigarettes really are.
The fire safe cigarettes are made of the same kind of tobacco and paper, but it has rings in the paper to stop the flame if not puffed. But the fire safe standards require them to burn out 75% of the time.
Firefighters say dumping cigarette ashes and butts in trash cans is one of the most frequent causes of house fires. Firefighters set up a chair and couch in a condemned house, and placed a fire safe cigarette in the trash can with newspapers, and then other trash types.
The cigarette smoldered for a couple of minutes, and then..... "I see smoke. Yea, we got a fire already," said a firefighter.
Within five minutes the trash can was blazing in the trash can. And 12 minutes after putting the fire safe cigarette in the trash can, the fire had set both the chair and couch next to it ablaze. In two tries, each time the fire safe cigarette started a fire.
"It appears when it gets insulated on more than two sides, it continues to burn. We pulled the paper back and it was smoldering, burning inside the paper both times," Investigator Sam Harris said.
Firefighters say they concluded from their experiment that the fire safe cigarette is a better system, but not a fail proof system.
"Can't trust it. Anytime you have an open flame you have a risk of a fire. That's exactly what we found out," Harris said.
So Firefighters urge smokers to use extreme caution, and not get overly confident in fire safe cigarettes.
"Continue to be vigilant when they are smoking. To worry about putting them out good. And to not pour the ashes into trash cans, because it can cause a fire."
Firefighters hope their experiment findings and warnings can prevent more cigarette fire deaths.
Fire safe cigarettes are the law in Georgia now, but stores can still sell the old style cigarettes they had in stock until they are all gone. So some of those are still available. The way you can know if you have a fire safe cigarette, it's on the package marked "FSC" if they are fire safe.
Georgia was among the last states to require the fire safe cigarettes. The law mandating them went into effect January 1st. Most tobacco companies say they support the move to fire safe cigarettes.

ELIZABETHTOWN — Richard "Rick" Carpenter got the nod in Thursday's primary election to replace a departing town justice in Moriah.
The three Republican candidates for Moriah town justice and their vote totals were: Richard Carpenter Sr., 200; Larry Wintle Jr., 105; and Brandy Patnode-Michener, 73.
"I thought it was a very good race, with no mudslinging," Carpenter said. "I'm happy about the results, and I want to thank the voters."
Carpenter is currently on the Moriah Town Council and would have to resign that post if elected justice.
All three candidates will be on the November general election ballot as independents.
"I'm going to keep campaigning," Wintle said after the unofficial results were announced. "We've got to push forward."
Patnode-Michener could not be reached for comment.
The new town justice will replace Jeff Farnsworth, who resigned after he accepted employment outside the area.
The town's other justice, Brian Venne, is handling all cases until a second one takes office.
This year, there were Republican primaries in only two towns in Essex County.
In Jay, the race was for tax collector, with Jessie McDonald winning with 53 votes; Tina Fenton got 20.
With no other candidates on the ballot at this point, McDonald would likely win the post in November.
Longtime tax collector June Taylor died following a vehicle crash earlier
this year.

Whether the cyst is found on routine examination or incidentally on an imaging study, it may provoke anxiety for the patient. Initial care begins with reassuring the patient and her family that the most conservative management approach will be provided.

What is the Bystander Effect?
The term bystander effect refers to the phenomenon in which the greater the number of people present, the less likely people are to help a person in distress. When an emergency situation occurs, observers are more likely to take action if there are few or no other witnesses.
In a series of classic studies, researchers Bibb Latane and John Darley found that the amount of time it takes the participant to take action and seek help varies depending on how many other observers are in the room. In one experiment, subjects were placed in one of three treatment conditions: alone in a room, with two other participants or with two confederates who pretended to be normal participants.
As the participants sat filling out questionnaires, smoke began to fill the room. When participants were alone, 75% reported the smoke to the experimenters. In contrast, just 38% of participants in a room with two other people reported the smoke. In the final group, the two confederates in the experiment noted the smoke and then ignored it, which resulted in only 10% of the participants reporting the smoke.
Example of the Bystander Effect
The most frequently cited example of the bystander effect in introductory psychology textbooks is the brutal murder of a young woman named Catherine "Kitty" Genovese. On Friday, March 13, 1964, 28-year-old Genovese was returning home from work. As she approached her apartment entrance, she was attacked and stabbed by a man later identified as Winston Moseley.
Despite Genovese's repeated calls for help, none of the dozen or so people in the nearby apartment building who heard her cries called police to report the incident. The attack first began at 3:20 AM, but it was not until 3:50 AM that someone first contacted police.
Initially reported in a 1964 New York Times article, the story sensationalized the case and reported a number of factual inaccuracies. While frequently cited in psychology textbooks, an article in the September 2007 issue of American Psychologist concluded that the story is largely misrepresented mostly due to the inaccuracies repeatedly published in newspaper articles and psychology textbooks.
Explanations for the Bystander Effect
There are two major factors that contribute to the bystander effect. First, the presence of other people creates a diffusion of responsibility. Because there are other observers, individuals do not feel as much pressure to take action, since the responsibility to take action is thought to be shared among all of those present.
The second reason is the need to behave in correct and socially acceptable ways. When other observers fail to react, individuals often take this as a signal that a response is not needed or not appropriate. Other researchers have found that onlookers are less likely to intervene if the situation is ambiguous. In the case of Kitty Genovese, many of the 38 witnesses reported that they believed that they were witnessing a "lover's quarrel," and did not realize that the young woman was actually being murdered.Suggested Readings:

Excellent Unit
We had a great experience with this unit, we had a baseball team all staying in different units, and by far we would have to say we were the happiest with this unit. We had plenty of towels, wash cloths, cooking untensils and pots and pans, where others were not so fortunate. Everything was a promised if not more,
Very nice condo - no problems at all
Our teenager loved having her own bedroom and bathroom - and the WIFI Our son loved the pool - and the WIFI Dad loved having so much more space than the usual hotel room. Mom (me) loved that it was nice and clean, everything in order - also paperwork and guidance from Laura (thank you for the snack and cold drink upon arrival - that was a life saver). We all loved the location with the view of the pool.
Excellent Condo! Great location!
My family and I stayed at the condo for a week while visiting Disney World. We had stayed at the resorts on Disney before and I wanted to see how staying off the resort was. There are advantages to both, but getting away from Disney at night was a nice change. First off, the condo is in a very convenient location. It took us about 20-25 minutes to get from the condo to the parking areas at the parks. I worried about traffic to the parks since we were staying off the resort area, but the drive was surprising easy and traffic was not bad at all. The condo was excellent and had everything we needed. The condo was very clean and well maintained. It was nicely decorated and grounds /exterior were well maintained as well. The two bedrooms worked perfect for us and our two kids (ages 2 & 5). The kitchen had plenty of cooking dishes which was great to cook a real meal instead just eating all the the Park food. I think the best feature was the unit location. The unit was on the corner on the ground floor which made it convenient to parking area and the pool! The pool was just a few steps outside the patio door! We would wake up in the mornings and enjoy the pool before heading to the Parks in the afternoon and evening. We loved that you didn't have to walk miles to get the pool, especially with small kids. The pool area has a kiddie pool which our 2 year old loved! There was also a larger pool that was relaxing as well. The pools were not crowded at all and you could easily get a pool chair and relax in between your dip in the pool. Lastly, the owner, Valerie, was very nice and communication was great with her. Even though a vacation rental company managed the property for her, it was nice to actually talk with the owner. Valerie answered any questions we had and checked to see if we needed anything before we arrived. She was awesome and we really appreciate her personal communication. Overall, we had an awesome vacation and the condo was nice to come back to in the evenings and "take a break" from Disney World. We are already looking forward to our next Disney vacation and will definitely consider renting the condo again.

PHOENIX (AP) - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says costs keep skyrocketing for Thanksgiving meals served to 8,500 jail inmates.
Arpaio says that due to the nationwide increase in food production cost and delivery surcharges, daily meals that once cost 22 cents each now cost 63 cents. That's a 186% increase.
He says the Thanksgiving meal for inmates will cost 68 cents apiece this year. Arpaio says that's a 750% increase from meals that cost 8 cents apiece years ago.
This year's Thanksgiving meal for inmates consists of sliced turkey, mashed potatoes and gravy, broccoli, a roll with butter, and a brownie for dessert.
Arpaio says his staff has long been creative in finding low cost food items from across the country to offset the cost of inmate meals to taxpayers.

Network (Part 3)
Somerville Andrew, Slot and Codeshare Management
Most of the airports that SWISS currently flies to, especially within Europe, are congested either at peak times or throughout the entire day. This congestion can be caused by a number of factors, any of which can be the critical factor. Because of this congestion, airports are bracketed into 3 distinct groups by IATA, using criteria that are accepted worldwide as the standard.
The groups reflect the level of congestion at the airport, ranging from no congestion at all, congestion during certain periods of the day, or congested throughout the day. This congestion can be caused by a number of factors, with these factors impacting each airport differently. For instance runway or apron availability can affect some airports, airspace above or around the airport at others, whilst lack of check-in counters or security checkpoints can affect others.
For airports where congestion is experienced, access is limited by airport slots which are issued to carriers to determine the timings that they can operate flights at. These airport slots are granted to enable a flight to operate at a specific time of the day taking into account the availability of all necessary infrastructure at the airport. This slot can then be extended, for example, to the same timings, every day of the week for the whole of the scheduling season, or every Friday between June and September, or as required for each individual flight.
These slots are also capable of being obtained on a Historical basis, whereby the airline is entitled to operat the same slots in the winter or summer scheduling period for successive seasons if certain requirements are met. This entails the carrier operating a certain percentage of the flights that it planned within the period, whilst also ensuring that the flights flown were also punctual within recognized tolerances.
About 9 months prior to season start, Network will request slots for all the planned flights for the upcoming season. These slots will include the Historical slots gained from the previous season's operation, plus any additional ones necessary for new or amended flights, or for any slots that were lost due to unpunctual or cancelled flights. These slots may not always match our requirements and therefore negotiations take place to try and achieve the best possible timings for the flights. This process can go on right up until the day before the flight, although normally they will be determined at least 6 weeks before departure due to crew and passenger notification issues. We also monitor the flights throughout the season to keep track of the punctuality to ensure historic precedence can be assured and also avoid any possible sanctions due to unpunctual services.

Atlantic County government has announced the results of a recent test call of its new CodeRED Emergency Notification System. Officials announced that overall, the county reached 79,137 numbers during the one-day test, achieving a success rate of 64 percent.
"This is an impressive test call," said Joey Medvick, CodeRED operations specialist. "Atlantic County's rate is among the highest of our customers nationwide in terms of speed and delivery and can be expected to increase with modifications to the database as a result of this test."
The test call was sent to the 123,318 numbers in the system's database 10 a.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29, including Verizon landline numbers and additional self-registered numbers.
Calls were delivered in 55 minutes, successfully connecting with 68,000 numbers that were answered live or by an answering machine.
A second-attempt call was sent at 2 p.m. that same day to those numbers that went unanswered in the initial morning call. Those calls were delivered within 26 minutes, and 14,337 were answered.
The county has had an emergency notification system for approximately five years, but recently contracted with CodeRED to update it.
The test call was useful in determining the validity of contact numbers and in identifying unnecessary duplications that can delay the delivery of time-sensitive messaging, according to a news release from the county.
The call also serves to promote awareness of the system that will be used by Atlantic County in the event of severe weather, emergency evacuations, boil water advisories, criminal activity, missing persons and other critical information.
In the week following the announcement of the test call, Atlantic County received nearly 800 new registered numbers. Registrants may choose their preferred method or methods of delivery – by voice, text or email on landline, cell or VoIP numbers. There is also a mobile app that can be downloaded for free from iTunes of Google Play.
County officials have emphasized the importance of this system not only for residents, but for those who may live outside the area but have businesses or properties within the county. The mobile app can be useful for anyone planning to travel through the region.
"The CodeRED Emergency Notification System is an important resource that can help save lives and properties," said County Executive Dennis Levinson. "It provides yet another means of communication with the public when it matters most."
County officials continue to encourage the public to register online at www.aclink.org or www.readyatlantic.org and look for the CodeRED link.
Those who do not have Internet access may call the Atlantic County Office of Emergency Management for assistance at 609-407-6742, 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday,
