Commercial Drupal services provider Acquia has debuted a tool called Site Factory, an apt name as it's meant to help marketers launch multiple websites in short order for building campaigns and launches.
Maintain the Content, Acquia Does the Rest
Site Factory sounds just like what the name implies, and when businesses or agencies need to create dozens or multiple dozens of websites, this sounds like at least a competitive option. With the Acquia Cloud Site Factory, template based, customizable sites can be set up by business users, and just a few administrators can manage hundreds of websites from one dashboard.
For marketers especially, this seems like a good fit. When a new campaign or launch gears up, content is readied for deployment at a moments notice. With a tool like Site Factory, that content can be spread out across the new properties, and marketers don't have to deal with maintenance of the sites, or any of the technical back end details.
The websites can be extended with Drupal extensions, and can be integrated with existing Web properties as well. The underlying technology is based on the Drupal Gardens initiative, a Drupal Saas environment that doesn't involve any downloading of software or setting up hosting and servers.
On the Factory Floor
The idea with Cloud Site Factory is to build sites fast or even simply clone existing sites with a click. The sites themselves feature non technical editing tools, advanced CSS tools, social login and sharing, and embedding of video or RSS feeds.
By Mike Johnson
Acquia today unveiled Acquia Cloud Site Factory, a turnkey digital experience platform that empowers marketers to deliver hundreds or thousands of brand, campaign and promotional websites with agility, velocity and freedom.
Acquia Cloud Site Factory provides Digital Experiences as a Service, enabling marketers to create dynamic, highly-branded sites in minutes with pre-configured templates that include repeatable content, design and structure. It provides an intuitive authoring experience so even non-technical users can create effective, content-rich sites rapidly, without the extensive training or coding that traditional, proprietary web platforms require. With Acquia Cloud Site Factory, marketers can dedicate their time to creating unique branded experiences built on the open source Drupal content management system.
By Saroj Kar
Burlington-based Acquia, which provides tools for enterprise users of the open-source Drupal web publishing platform, today announced the Acquia Cloud Site Factory, a new digital experience platform for building digitally enriched brand, campaign and promotional websites for marketers.
Built on Acquia's proven Drupal Gardens OpenSaaS software and infrastructure, Acquia Cloud Site Factory provides support for marketers to create dynamic, customized sites in minutes. The platform has pre-defined templates making it easy for brand campaigner to include repeatable content, design, features and structure into the site.
The OpenSaaS application Gardens allows users to quickly build complex websites. And Acquia Cloud Site Factory system will make it possible for site builders to add thousands of Drupal modules to their own site factory. The company has made the interface very simple so that a non-technical user can also create great digital web platform sites or small teams of administrators can build and manage hundreds of sites, manage users centrally, and integrate sites with their entire digital marketing toolset.
Lets marketers create, manage multiple sites under single umbrella
By Ron Miller
This week, Acquia launched a new cloud service its dubbed Cloud Site Factory to create and manage multiple websites under a single management console.
The service, which they are calling Digital Experience as a Service, essentially enables companies that require many websites to create them in a central place very quickly. One example they give in their statement is a record company creating individual sites for each of the artists on the label where each site has a similar look and feel and content type, but the content is customized for each artist.
Companies with many divisions could use the service to set up landing sites for new products very quickly and the sites would have the unique branding of the company across all the sites, even though the content would be different.
Acquia claims this product can scale to hundreds or even thousands of individual sites all managed in a central console by a single administrator or multiple administrators as needed by each customer.
Acquia CEO Tom Erickson said in a statement that this service is aimed at companies that have to start up web sites on a regular basis and have a hard time maintaining consistency across sites.
Acquia today was chosen by AlwaysOn as one of the AlwaysOn Global 250 winners. Inclusion in the AlwaysOn Global 250 signifies leadership amongst its peers and game-changing approaches and technologies that are likely to disrupt existing markets and entrenched players in the Global Silicon Valley. Acquia was specially selected by the AlwaysOn editorial team and industry experts spanning the globe based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz.
This year's 250 top, private technology companies are building a robust infrastructure to host the powerful applications that are fueling the burgeoning datasphere.
"This year's AlwaysOn Global 250 is seeing an unprecedented shift from desktop to mobile. Concurrently, innovators in the cloud are making it possible for an entirely new generation of application and software solutions to enter the technology marketplace. The enterprise world has endured a long ramp-up to the cloud as well as finally accepting that mobile is here to stay. Now, businesses are demanding even more robust, secure applications with which to run their operations—anytime, anywhere," says Tony Perkins, founder and editor of AlwaysOn. "The Global Silicon Valley is rising to this challenge with unfettered enthusiasm, providing business management solutions, IT infrastructure, and elegant, stable applications. Coupled with bleeding-edge consumer adoption of the latest and most powerful media applications, the companies on this year's AlwaysOn Global 250 represent the highest-growth opportunities in today's private company marketplace."
The AlwaysOn Global 250 winners were selected from among thousands of domestic and international technology companies nominated by investors, bankers, journalists, and industry insiders. The AlwaysOn editorial team conducted a rigorous three-month selection process to finalize the 2013 list.

In the world of multichannel content delivery and management, partnerships are being formed at an astounding rate. Today, Alfresco and Acquia have announced a new partnership that will see the two open source platforms working together to provide advanced multichannel content management.
Acquia, Alfresco Digital Content
While both Acquia and Alfresco are strong, established players in their respective spaces, the two combined will greatly increase the ability of enterprises to provide full digital content management abilities to their clients, both internally and externally.
The combination will provide users with content applications that span everything from traditional document management to structured editorial workflows as well as the dynamic delivery of multichannel web experiences.
The result is a unified digital experience that pulls together content, community and commerce capabilities through the creation of web applications that can push content to all corners of the enterprises and to wherever it is needed.
Earlier this week we saw that many front-line workers were not in a position to close deals as many enterprise do not consider content delivery needs in their overall content strategies.

Drupal cloud services provider Acquia has reported its revenue more than doubled in 2012, a sign open source implementations are reaching an all time high in popularity.
Bookings Rise in Q1 2013
In the first quarter of 2013, Acquia reported its bookings grew by 52% compared to the same quarter in 2012, the company announced at the biannual DrupalCon event this week. Acquia noted much of the growth came in the life sciences, high tech, media, government and higher education industries.
Analyst firm Forrester listed Acquia as a contender in its latest Web content management Wave (story link), a list it shared with Microsoft, IBM and Ektron. Forrester liked the customization possibilities within the Acquia services realm, but noted its lack of marketing tools compared to those larger companies.

Burlington-based Web publishing software firm Acquia said Wednesday it received $45.3 million in revenue in 2012, more than doubling its top line from the previous year.
Acquia also said it has doubled its employee count in the past 15 months, and now has about 340 employees globally, with half of them in Burlington.
That's up from the 260 employees Acquia had in late November, when the firm raised $30 million in funding.
The company provides tools and support for enterprises using the open-source Drupal Web publishing platform. Drupal has surged in popularity among enterprises in recent years due to the potential for cost savings and the flexibility of design.
Acquia previously reported receiving $21.8 million in revenue in 2011. Those revenue results had made Acquia the fastest-growing software company on the 2012 Inc. 500 list, and the eighth fastest-growing company on the list overall.
The firm says it now has more than 3,800 customers, up from about 2,000 at the end of 2011. New customers include Georgetown University, Olympus Corporation of the Americas and Polycom.
Acquia is "enabling our customers to build disruptive digital businesses in an open source way," co-founder and CTO Dries Buytaert said in a news release announcing the revenue growth Wednesday.
Key customer sectors include media and entertainment (NBC, Warner Music Group), high-tech (eBay, Twitter), health care (Humana) and higher-education (Stanford University).

Massive disruption is occurring as marketing goes digital. Business is moving steadily towards providing a fully personalized and truly integrated digital experience—building upon recent advances in user experience, analytics, cloud computing and storage, and an omni-channel experience across mobile platforms and social media.
Yet while the end user digital journey has improved significantly, we are only in the earliest stages of offering a compelling, integrated digital experience. The biggest impediment? The accelerating rate of change around mobile, web, and social experiences. Existing technologies struggle to keep pace, while new technologies fail to offer either the breadth or depth of the capabilities required. Traditional paradigms in software development are failing to keep up.
The degree of personalization needed for the next generation digital experience requires managing a lot of data. Superdata. As the degree of personalization and anticipation of the online visitor's needs increases, computing power also must increase. This is where open source is taking the lead. The vision for this next generation digital experience has been emerging over the past few years. Forrester started out calling it Web Experience Management.
More recently, as "web" began to sound a bit less cutting edge, they've begun to call it Digital Customer Experience, or Digital Experience (DX). Others call it Digital Experience Management, or DXM.
The good news is that many of the technologies that will allow us to accomplish this goal have arrived on the scene and are now being put to the task. What is also clear is that open source is the foundation on which this next generation digital experience is being built. Big Data is the term given to the idea of gathering, storing, and mining all of the information required to achieve a desired result. Personalization is the process of applying this information to the individual.
Released today during the Music Biz 2013 event, a new infographic from digitalmusic.org, the home of music business association NARM's digital initiatives, is giving bands, record labels, physical and digital music retail outlets, and other music companies a crash course in search engine optimization (SEO). Supported by Acquia and titled "Search Engine Optimization for Music Websites," the infographic walks readers through the basics of how search engines such as Google and Bing work, then provides a series of easy-to-implement tips including the S.T.A.C. (Structure, Topicality, Content, Authority) method, website dos and don'ts, and monitoring strategies that can be used to create a "web of authenticity" that connects their site to other reputable ones on the web, leading to higher search engine results and increased business.
"Whether you're an up-and-coming band, an established record label, or any other company in the music business, it's critically important that people be able to find you quickly and easily, and chances are they are going to use a search engine to do it," said Bill Wilson, Vice President of Digital Strategy and Business Development for NARM/digitalmusic.org. "As DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) compliance forces illegitimate sites down in the rankings, it is crucial for official, licensed sites to implement proper SEO techniques so they can take over the newly vacant spots at the top. This infographic visualizes the steps that must be taken to do so, allowing legitimate sites to easily create connections that will give them the visibility they need to make an impact on the industry."
"Nielsen's Global Trust in Advertising report says the fourth most trusted source of information by online consumers is a branded web site. However, the approach of "build it and they will come" simply doesn't work, especially in the music industry, where millions of artists fight for the attention of music fans," said Chuck Fishman, media, entertainment and publishing director for Acquia. "Acquia supports digitalmusic.org's 'Search Engine Optimization for Music Websites' infographic because it provides critical and invaluable web development best practices to artists, labels and other music-related businesses, so their sites are easily discoverable by music fans."
Acquia is joining DigitalMusic.org's membership in support of its mission to advocate, educate and organize on behalf of the entire digital music ecosystem. Acquia's passion for connecting performing artists and fans is rooted in its work helping power the digital strategies for many of the industry's biggest brands, including Warner Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment. Acquia will be present on two work groups, helping to set industry best practices and standards around digital marketing and digital asset management.
The infographic is available for free and can be viewed at http://www.narm.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/digitalmusicorgSEOInfo.pdf.
BOSTON - The Boston Business Journal has named Acquia one of the Best Places to Work in Massachusetts in its eleventh annual regional awards program. The honor recognizes Acquia's achievements in creating a positive work environment that attracts and retains employees through a combination of employee satisfaction, working conditions and company culture.
Acquia was one of over 400 companies to qualify for consideration based on a two-stage nomination process and the results of employee-satisfaction surveys taken throughout March & April.
"Our Best Places to Work event will again recognize the importance of cultivating a great workplace culture as a competitive advantage," said Chris McIntosh, publisher of the Boston Business Journal. "Companies on our list can be justifiably proud of creating a high level of workplace satisfaction during an economy where traditional rewards like big raises and bonuses aren't as easy to give. In good times and in bad, our results validate how the creation of the right corporate culture can create powerful business advantages. Employees are proud to work for companies that are about more than just business."
The survey project was launched in January by the Boston Business Journal in conjunction with market research firm Quantum Workplace of Omaha, NE. Companies were evaluated on the results of more than 18,000 employee-satisfaction surveys. Employees answered questionnaires that addressed such factors as their pride in the company, company encouragement, support and recognition of achievement and relationships with co-workers and supervisors. The results were analyzed and scored by assigning points to each question.
80 companies total … the top 25 companies in three size categories plus the top 5 in a new category called "PR/Communications" will be awarded during a lively cocktail reception on June 13th at the iconic CitiCenter /Wang Theatre and profiled in a special supplement of the Boston Business Journal on June 14th.
This year's 100 top companies are feeding a burgeoning data macrosphere, propelling the entire computing paradigm into a interdependent, connected, and mobile future.
The fourth annual AlwaysOn OnDemand 100 represents a list of vigorous emerging and mature companies that are going beyond creating new business opportunities. The cloud infrastructure, SaaS, and on-demand marketplace is reinventing computing—how it's powered, where data is stored, and where and when we access it.
The AlwaysOn editorial team, along with partners at KPMG, Bridge Bank, General Catalyst Partners, Menlo Ventures, GSV Capital, Mayfield Fund, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Intel Capital, New Enterprise Associates, Azure Capital, Allegis Capital, Venrock, InterWest Partners, Illuminate Ventures, Madrona Venture Group, AT&T, Jafco Ventures, Institutional Venture Partners, Oak Investment Partners, Greylock Partners, Andreessen Horowitz, and industry experts across the globe, went out into the entrepreneurial ecosystem to find the top 100 private companies that are disrupting the entire computing paradigm.
These startups are bringing a new world of highly nimble, versatile, and mobile services to everyone participating in the new digital era. While these businesses are transforming the way we interact with computers and computing resources, they are also creating high-growth businesses that offer huge upside potential for investors.
Stable Cloud, Mobile Audience
This year's OnDemand 100 launches at a time when the entire world is experiencing a shift in the way it relates to technology, information, and media. Only a few short years ago, the cloud was being warily considered as just another clever marketing buzzword being used to describe something that sounded too good to be true. As we look at the top companies on this year's OnDemand 100, it's clear that the buzzword has become reality—and lived up to its promise. Cloud infrastructure is expanding into and enhancing every sector of the technology world.
Incredibly intelligent entrepreneurs have taken this concept and turned it into the reality that will carry us into the computing future. Continually enhancing cloud tools, platforms, security, and data storage, management, and delivery, cloud infrastructure companies are becoming the go-to resource for deploying today's critical business and consumer applications. Whether it's public, private, or hybrid, the cloud infrastructure companies that are providing the most robust, trustworthy, always-on performance are the ones propelling us into a completely new computing universe.
The robust applications, mobile technology, and on-demand innovations being supported in the cloud are enhancing almost every sector of the online world. We've seen the borders being pulled down between desktop, TV, tablet, smartphone, and laptop. And while the amount of data being generated and consumed is continuing to expand almost faster than we can harness its power, the rigorous determination of the OnDemand 100 winners is meeting and exceeding this continual entrepreneurial challenge. The data macrosphere is a reality—a binary organism that's fueling our creative process and bringing new ideas to fruition. As it grows and expands into every corner of the cloud, the applications it inspires will continue to feed the success of the Global Silicon Valley.
Reimagining the Computing Paradigm
This year's OnDemand 100 companies, like their predecessors, were selected based on a set of five criteria: innovation, market potential, commercialization, stakeholder value, and media buzz. As the cloud infrastructure, SaaS, and on-demand community redefines the world of technology, it continues to push the limits of computer power and how data resources are created, stored, and delivered—developing new ideas and creating new companies with outstanding growth potential.
Congratulations to all the 2013 OnDemand 100 winners. These top venture capital-backed on-demand and SaaS companies are taking advantage of an increasingly stable and reliable cloud infrastructure to develop, maintain, and deploy a continuous stream of disruptive technology to every single computer user on the planet. The technology platforms and services represented in this year's list are feeding a burgeoning data macrosphere, propelling the entire computing paradigm into a interdependent, connected, and mobile future.
Here's how I think about a platform — you work in a platform. A platform is designed for a specific business function like marketing, sales, HR, finance, etc. Platforms connect to other platforms, so integration is key.
The important part of the definition is that a platform is something you use every day, and plays a critical part in the success of your role. For example, the Acquia marketing team lives inside of Marketo, setting up programs, writing emails, scoring leads and analyzing results. Marketo is the first application we open in the morning and the last we close at the end of the day. It plays a pivotal role in making sure we're passing the best leads to sales at the right time, while nurturing our earlier stage prospects.
Enterprises are rapidly adopting open-source software to achieve value far beyond just lowering costs. Tom Wentworth, CMO at open-source provider Acquia, discusses how open source addresses trends in evolving enterprise needs and shares examples of return on investment that enterprises achieve through open source.
Enterprises, like all businesses today, are trying to survive in a time of digital disruption. The market is beyond competitive. Look at how digital pioneers like Netflix and Amazon have transformed their industries. It's only a matter of time before that happens to every industry, if they aren't ready to innovate.
Open source allows enterprise business to place its bet on the freedom to innovate. The global developer communities bring unforeseen development speed, and the lack of high license fees mean that resources can be invested in a great digital experience. Most importantly, though, open source provides the freedom to innovate, plan out your own product road map, and respond quickly to market demands. That equals survival.

This week, I received an email from some marketing folks that Acquia was announcing they are open sourcing their mobile application code for posting content to Drupal sites. For those that don't know, Acquia is a commercial open source software company that provides products, services, and technical support for Drupal. This isn't the first time Acquia and other Drupal vendors have given code back to the Drupal community and you can be assured it won't be the last.
Honestly, I had not been following the development of Drupal Create so it's taken me some time to better understand the significance of this story to open source. SparkPR's Eric Sokolsky explained it to me in his email this way:
Today, Acquia released source code that will allow Drupal website content owners and developers to create their own customized mobile content publishing apps. These apps – the first of their kind on the Drupal platform -- will enable developers to create or curate content on their iOS phones and publish it directly to their existing Drupal-based sites – without being tethered to a laptop or desktop computer.
If I didn't know any better, I would have thought Acquia was eavesdropping on some recent discussions I've had regarding my observation on the potential conflicts between open source vendors and open source communities. Their action alone suggests that perhaps I worry too much. Let me explain.
Les développeurs vont pouvoir créer des applications sous iOS pour produire du contenu pour Drupal. Acquia a publié sur GitHub le code source en Objective-C de son application mobile Drupal Create.
Avec la mise à disposition du code source Drupal Create, les contributeurs qui sont amenés à publier des contenus sur des sites réalisés avec le CMS Drupal, peuvent le faire à partir de leur terminal sous iOS. L'intégralité du code source de l'application mobile a été mise à disposition en Objective-C sur le référentiel Github, vient d'indiquer la société Acquia qui pilote le projet Open Source de gestion de contenus web. Il permettra aux développeurs de créer des apps personnalisées pour communiquer avec leurs sites montés avec Drupal. Une app prête à l'utilisation, Drupal Gardens, est par ailleurs proposée sur iTunes.

This resort is a combo of a ski resort and a golf resort. We stayed in the ski resort side (we don't play golf) and enjoyed it very much because it is secluded, quiet yet not too far from Gettysburg. The ski resort has a large pool and huge deck that faces the ski slopes. Could use hot tub after walking all day. Good for sunning in summer. The web site doesn't mention that there are 2 restaurants on the grounds with good food. Free Breakfast bar was adequate to get the day started. The golf course looked beautiful with mountains in the distance. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The TV system needs updated, but we did get adequate reception. Would definitely stay again.

You are probably familiar with the name Madam C.J. Walker, as a pioneer of black hair care and cosmetics. But do you know who Sarah Spencer Washington is? How about Madame N.A. Franklin? And did you know that Annie Turnbo Malone had as one of her sales agents, one Sarah Breedlove—later known as Madam C.J. Walker? All four of these entrepreneurs contributed to the creation of the first commercial products to really address the hair care and skin care needs of black women. In addition, these women shared the wealth from their businesses to not only inspire and educate women and men in the cosmetology field, they were also known for their philanthropic contributions to charitable, educational, community and civil rights organizations.
Annie Turnbo Malone (1869-1957)
Annie Turnbo Malone was born to former slaves in Metropolis, Illinois. Some historical accounts say that she dropped out of high school due to illness and others say to practice hairdressing, but by all accounts she had a good knowledge of chemistry and by the age of 20 had developed her own shampoos and scalp treatments to grow and straighten hair. She took to the streets to demonstrate and sell her wares. By 1902 her products were a success. She named her company Poro Products and moved to St. Louis, Missouri to expand the business. Poro is a West African (Mende) male secret society. Some have translated the word as meaning "devotional society". Poro Products became an international company with customers in the United States, Africa, South America and the Caribbean. In 1918 Malone built a four-story million dollar factory and beauty school complex in the historic St. Louis neighborhood known as The Ville. She employed over 175 people (including at one point protégé Sarah Breedlove, who would later become known as Madam C.J. Walker.) She became one of the nation's wealthiest black women, a leading cosmetics entrepreneur, philanthropist and leader in the St. Louis black community. In 1930, the business was relocated to Chicago, Illinois.
Madam C.J. Walker (1867-1919)
Madam C.J. Walker was born to former slaves in Louisiana in 1867, the first child born into freedom. In her thirties, she suffered from hair loss and began experimenting with different hair treatments and products. For a time Walker worked for Poro Products as a sales representative and learned the business. In 1905 she invented a method for straightening black women's hair and a formula for hair growth, which she said was given to her in a dream. She moved to Denver, Colorado where she married Charles Walker and opened her own business, selling her hair restorer through door-to-door sales. In 1908 she opened a second office in Pittsburgh as well as opening Leila College with her daughter Leila to train "hair culturists." In 1910 she opened the company's national headquarters in Indianapolis, Indiana, for manufacturing and training of the Walker Agents. Madam C.J. Walker Preparations, which included facial treatment powders and other cosmetic treatments created for and marketed to African American women made Madam CJ Walker one of the nation's first women millionaires.

Who Created the Hot Comb? Annie Malone or Madam Walker?
The answer is neither. It is reported that in 1872 a hairdresser named Marcel Grateau used a pressing comb on his clientele in Paris, who were trying to emulate the straight style of ancient Egyptian hair, but it's not really known exactly who invented the device. Annie Malone was the first to patent a hot comb. Madame CJ Walker improved upon the comb by widening the teeth for use on black hair.
Sarah Spencer Washington (1889–1953)
Sarah Spencer was born June 6, 1889 in Beckley, Virginia. She later moved to Atlantic City and worked as a hairdresser. In 1913 she started a hairdressing business in a small one-room beauty shop. She began to experiment with ingredients and later was granted a patent for a new system of straightening the hair of black women. In 1919 she founded Apex News and Hair Company. She worked in the beauty salon during the day (and also taught students the trade) and in the evenings sold her cosmetics throughout the city. By the mid-1930s the Apex Beauty Products Company was the largest New Jersey black-owned business and one of the nation's leading black manufacturing companies. In addition to the cosmetics company, she owned Apex Publishing Company, which published Apex News for beauticians and sales agents, Apex Laboratories, Apex Drug Company and Apex Beauty College. 11 beauty schools in the US ad franchised schools overseas. Apex Beauty Systems Sarah Spencer, one of the first African American millionaires. She was awarded a medallion at the 1939 World's Fair as one of the Most Distinguished Businesswomen" in the country.

Madame N.A. Franklin (1880-1934)
Nobia Franklin expanded a 1915 beauty salon into a chain of salons and eventually created one of the first major lines of cosmetics to include face powders that were meant to flatter, rather than lighten darker skin tones. By 1917 she opened the Franklin School of Beauty Culture and relocated manufacturing, salon and educational operations to Houston. In 1922 she moved to Chicago to open a salon and school and expanded the manufacturing of her business. Soon she began to teach others "the Franklin way" of styling hair using her products. Like Malone and Walker, she trained women to style and grow hair using her products and encouraged them to set up shops to style, straighten hair and sell the company's skin and hair products. The company's wide range of products included hair tonics, hair growers, soaps, pressing oil and face powder specially created for an African American clientele. She didn't quite reach the success of Annie Turnbo Malone, Madam Walker and Sarah Spencer, in part because she wasn't able to build as large a network of sales agents nor did she acquire patents for her creations.

Impressive offering from Tree House brewing. The beer pours a beautiful golden copper color with a tightly bubbled bone white head. The aroma hits one of hops, hops, and more hops . . . Citrus, pineapple, mango, peach, topical fruits all linger in the nose. Grapefruit big time. I'm getting excited.
The beer itself is smooth, and delicious. Some DIPA tend to over do the boldness and become super bitter, super malty, and just far too much of one thing. This beet is ultra balanced. It's refreshing. It's light. It's awesome. It is slightly sweet, probably from the grapefruit juice. I love the hop bill in this one. Good stuff all around.

Growler filled on 08/24/2013 poured into a tulip glass.
Pours a clear, bright golden copper color with a pretty much non-existent head. A small ring of foam does collect around the edges of the glass when the the pour settles but nothing that really stays. There are tiny wisps of lacing left on the glass with each sip. Despite the lack of head and minor lacing the brightness and clarity of the beer are really nice.
The nose is full of huge citrus and some lesser tropical notes. The grapefruit notes are huge and lead into some nice mango and pineapple aromas. There may be some malt in there somewhere but my nose can detect any with the copious amount of hops here. It's really pretty straightforward, just wave after wave of citrusy hop aromas.
The taste is full of the same citrusy and tropical hop character, although it's really a lot of grapefruit and other citrus and just a hint of some tropical notes that bring a quick but potent sweetness to each sip. There is a slight bitterness at the finish of each sip but it definitely doesn't stick around.
Medium mouthfeel with carbonation a bit lower than that. The carbonation isn't low but it's definitely not medium either. The lower carbonation gives the beer a creamy and unbelievably smooth finish. As mentioned before, there is a quick but potent hit of sweetness in each sip. Normally a beer this big that is sweet ends up being cloying or syrupy but this never even comes close. Easily the smoothest beer I've had with an ABV as high as it is.
This beer is outstanding. Perhaps there could have been more of a head and better lacing but that is to be expected sometimes with a beer that is low in carbonation to being with and then poured from a growler on top. The hop flavors and aromas are great but the mouthfeel is exceptional. It really makes the beer.

750ml swing top growler filled at the brewery just hours ago.
A: Bright golden in color, and surprisingly clear. Creamy white head retains well, lacing is spotty.
S: Ruby red grapefruit juice, strong fresh pine needle aroma. Tangerine and starfruit, passion fruit. Simple underlying malt scent of dry grain.
T: Lots of grapefruit juice up front, though it is soon cut by a tide of resiny pine. Fresh, oily bitterness. Green herbal spiciness. Tropical fruit tastes of mandarin orange and peach play underneath. Malt base of grain and thin, light caramel. Alcohol is very well hidden, but a slight peppery hit comes at the end, bringing tropical esters with it. Drying finish with lingering oily hops and grapefruit bitterness.
M: Hefty medium body. Creamy and velvety smooth, very slightly chewy. Low carbonation.
O: Glad to see they didn't go too over the top with the grapefruit juice. It compliments the hop flavors very naturally and never takes center stage. The dextrose seems to have taken the edge off just enough and kept the body from being too big and syrupy. An easy beer to drink, even at 8.6% abv.

750 ml growler into my Hill Farmstead stemmed glass. Thanks to time4lunch for the brew.
A: Pours a clear tangerine color with a white head forming on the pour. It recedes to a thin film and thicker, frothier cap.
S: Very clean flavors. Grassy and citrusy with a nice clean, sweet malt bill. A little candied fruit/honey like sweetness. A little tangelo on the nose as well.
T: An explosion of clean and juicy fruits. Mango and Pineapple with a big candied grapefruit. It has a light, bitter grassy note to it. Not quite piney, but verging very close. Nice doughy bread malts provide a sweetness the compliments the beer.
M: Unfortunately the growler leaked in transit, but luckily it was still delivered. Devoid of carbonation pretty much, but damn is it still nice and refreshing. Sweet and fruity finish.
O: If this had some carbonation it would be a whole lot better, but having said that I love a highly fruity, tropical DIPA and this one fits the bill. Hopefully I'll get to try some offerings from Tree House again in the future.

The Diet Lies
It seems like this is the common definition of diet in a skinny-is-better world.
However, the real meaning of the term "diet" has been distorted and twisted into quite an unhealthy idea. The simple, easy to understand logic of "eat less, weigh less" may explain why so many people are denying themselves the nutrition their body needs. The fact is, most people are uneducated about proper nutrition. From advertisements for diet pills, to enticing headlines on magazines, we are constantly fed lies about what it means to be healthy.
MYTH 1: There's an easy, quick fix solution to losing weight.
There is no such thing as a quick fix. Pills and fad diets may work initially, but they don't last for long. Fad diets have a 95 percent failure rate, according to North Dakota State University nutrition specialist, Julie Garden-Robinson. Making and staying dedicated to a permanent lifestyle change is the only solution.
MYTH 2: If I eat less, I'll weigh less.
This is one of the most common diet misconceptions. According to an article by the LIVESTRONG foundation, when there aren't enough calories consumed, the body's natural response is to enter "starvation mode," which increases the storage of fat while breaking down muscle tissues for energy. Everyone has a certain calorie intake they need to be fulfilling depending on their weight and activity; generally, nutritionists recommend not dipping below 1200 calories a day.
MYTH 3: Fat is bad.
Unfortunately, it's not that simple. There are a variety of "good" and "bad" fats. Acco0rding to a study by The University of Maryland Medical Center, people who severely limit their fat intake are denying themselves basic nutrients, such as vitamins A and E, folic acid, calcium, iron and zinc. Additionally, those on low-fat diets may be increasing their risk of a stroke due to hemorrhage in the brain.
MYTH 4: Because the label says "low fat," and "low sugar," it means it's healthy.
Sure, looking for foods that read lower in sugar and fat is a good start – but it doesn't necessarily mean that the product is giving your body what it needs. Those looking to get healthy need to be ultra-observant of what they're putting into their bodies. According to the fitness and nutrition experts of HybridAthlete, the foods we've come to know as American staples are actually poisoning us. Food's initial nutrition is broken down to become non-perishable, leaving very little nutritional value. Additionally, foods that read non-fat, such as non-fat milk, have been run through heavy chemical processes. Healthy fat is then replaced with harmful chemicals- where's the logic in that? The lack of nutrients in the mega-refined foods don't satisfy the body, so you eat more and as a result, store more fat.
Emily Dinmann is a blogger with a Bachelor's of Science and Nutrition from the University of Minnesota
What's the wrong way to approach a healthy diet?
"The all-or-nothing approach or being 100 percent "perfect" all the time. I'm all about making small changes that you can keep up forever. It truly is a lifestyle. Eat healthy most of the time and save some room for treats and splurges!"
Your definition of "diet"?
"I personally think of the word diet as the food we eat, not something restrictive to help us lose weight!"

EDMONTON - Ashif Mawji always has his finger on the pulse of the tech sector.
The man gets around. He's also a great guy, which is why I like to stay in touch with him.
After Mawji sold his firm, Upside Software, for a cool $22 million US in 2012, I thought he might retire to some tropical paradise.
Fat chance. The 42-year-old NAIT grad is too driven (and too young) to linger on a beach for long.
Besides, he's a huge Edmonton booster who is deeply involved with local non-profits like the Stollery Childrens Hospital Foundation and Kids Kottage.
Just months after he sold Upside to a U.S. tech firm, Mawji launched a new venture, NPO Zero, with BioWare co-founder Dr. Ray Muzyka.
When we met for coffee Thursday, Mawji had just returned from Palm Desert, Calif., — where half the city's CEOs and former CEOs apparently own vacation homes — and he was about to start packing for a family trip to Cabo, Mexico.
Between sips of java, he told me he's working on yet another tech startup (details to come), and he was just named chairman of Corent Technology, a promising tech firm in the Los Angeles area, where Mawji has a second home.
As I say, Mawji gets around. So when the focus of our discussion turned to the future of social media, I was all ears. Good thing, because Mawji had some very interesting things to say about Facebook, social media's 800-pound gorilla, and Twitter, whose share price has been crushed of late.
"I've been on Facebook for 10-plus years and it was always aimed at the younger generation, mainly teens," he says. "But over the last three or four years it has moved more toward 30-to-45-year-old users, and the content is becoming more mature and thought-provoking."
Of course, the steep decline in young Facebook users has been well-publicized. According to a study published in January by Washington, D.C.-based iStrategy Labs, the number of 13- to 17-year-olds who use Facebook has plunged by more than 25 per cent (or three million subscribers) over the past three years.
Why? Not surprisingly, the kids don't want mom, dad, or grandpa and grandma checking out their boyfriends or girlfriends, looking at embarrassing photos of their pals, or (heaven forbid) posting comments on their home page.
But the counter-trend Mawji refers to — the growth of older Facebook users, including seniors aged 55 and up — has got very little media attention. So I called D.J. Saul, iStrategy's chief marketing officer, to learn more.
Good thing I did, because his comments were eye-opening. Yes, he says, the number of older Facebook users has mushroomed.
According to iStrategy's survey of Facebook users over the three-year period ended in January, the number of users in the 25-to-34-year-old group jumped by nearly a third, even as those in the 18-to-24-year-old cohort fell by 7.5 per cent.
Even more surprising, users between the ages of 35 and 54 jumped by 41.4 per cent, while those in the 55-plus age bracket — seniors, in other words — soared by a staggering 80.4 per cent, prompting one U.S. newspaper to call for Facebook to be renamed "Wrinklebook."
"The explosion of 35-to-54 year olds at over 40 per cent growth and the 55-plus group growing by more than 80 per cent is a far more interesting story than the decline in the teenage demographic," says Saul, whose firm helps corporate giants like Google, Microsoft, Disney and Coca-Cola devise online communications strategies.
"While there has been an explosion on sites like Twitter and Instagram and Snapchat among the younger demographic, with Facebook it's increasingly an older demographic."
Saul says the fact that Facebook is more visual — or "photo-centric" — is a key reason that it draws in older users, and he expects Twitter to follow suit as it looks for ways to accelerate its disappointing growth rate.
And although he's not an equity analyst, Saul figures Facebook's growing base of affluent middle-aged and senior users, who make up an ever-larger part of its 1.2 billion subscribers, are a key reason why Facebook has been able to grow its revenues and profits at such a spectacular rate.
"In the most recent quarterly earnings report Facebook put out, the craziest number was that 75 per cent of their revenue is now from mobile advertising. So that's certainly a trend," he says.
"But while the teenage and college demographic are certainly hot from an advertiser's perspective, who is actually spending money? It's seniors, right? And as the population of that demographic continues to grow — and this is the punchline — Facebook is doing just fine."

SHOALS — Community Corrections Director Kathy Collins spoke to the Martin County Commissioners Tuesday night, about her department's annual report,which is from July of 2011 to July of 2012.
She said the Indiana Department of Corrections (DOC) sets goals for her department, one of which is to not send class D felons to the DOC facilities. The state wants them to be directed toward the counties' community corrections home detention program.
She said at the recent state convention where 70 Indiana counties had community corrections representatives present, the state DOC commissioner recognized Martin County as one of the few counties that followed this rule completely by having zero D felons who were sent to department of corrections facilities.
She said that during the July to July report, Martin County only had six offenders sentenced to a department of corrections facility and none were D felons.
The annual report showed that 50 offenders were sentenced to home detention that amounted to 5,459 days with 126 average days for female offenders and 103 average days for males.
Collins said that the county receives around $102,000 in grant funds from the state department of corrections which she said does not come close to meeting the needs of the program. $59,000 is received in project income or payments by offenders. She said it costs $161,000 to fund community corrections with $55,946 going just to the home detention program.
Commissioner Dan Gregory told Collins she was doing a great job for Martin County and those who are in the community corrections program. He asked Collins if there was anything she needed as far as a "wish list" to keep doing her job. Collins explained the need for money, eventually, for funding of the road crew. The current grant money they receive cannot be used for misdemeanants.

Oakland Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor was the story of Sunday's game, despite a Colts victory. The third-year quarterback put the team on his back and almost managed the upset. Ultimately Andrew Luck and the Indianapolis Colts were too much, though, winning 21-17.
The Raiders needed a lift when running back Darren McFadden had trouble moving the ball. Help came from an unexpected place as Pryor was happy to oblige. He picked up the slack in Oakland's ground game, running for 112 yards to set the franchise record for a QB.
Pryor was impressive as a passer, too, completing 19-of-29 passes for 217 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. The rushing was the highlight, but fans should be encouraged by how he spread around the football in the passing game, as the quarterback found seven different receivers.
Luck and the Colts threw everything they had at the Raiders, but their offense couldn't separate until late in the 4th quarter. The second-year quarterback was sensational, but that feels like old hat. Luck amassed 178 yards passing, completing 78 percent of his passes and adding two touchdowns. Free agent acquisition Ahmad Bradshaw was ineffective running the ball, which will be something to watch moving forward -- he finished with 26 yards on seven carries.
Fantasy studs and duds
It's unlikely people had Terrelle Pyror on their team, but he might be worth a pickup after finishing Week 1 with 329 all purpose yards and one touchdown.
The ever-reliable Reggie Wayne had another strong game adding 96 yards receiving and one touchdown.
Injury report
Colts' tight end Dwayne Allen left the game in the first half with a hip injury. There is no update to his status at this time.
Did they cover?
The Colts were 11-point favorites, according to OddsShark. The Raiders kept the game surprisingly close, and their four-point loss meant Indianapolis failed to cover the spread.
What's next?
Sept. 15, 1 p.m. ET: Indianapolis vs. Miami
Sept. 15, 4:25 p.m. ET: Oakland vs. Jacksonville

BECKLEY (WVVA) - A former Massey executive who admitted to illegally warning miners of looming surprise inspections will spend the next three-and-a-half years in jail.
U.S. District Judge Irene Berger has sentenced David Hughart to 42 months in prison plus four years supervised release for conspiring to give miners at Massey's White Buck mine illegal advance warning about surprise inspections.
Hughart was president at the mine when the illegal activity took place.
Earlier in the day in Magistrate Court, Hughart had his bond revoked in the wake of a drug arrest in Beckley on Aug. 30.
Hughart was caught driving under the influence and tested positive for oxycodone.
Following is the full release from U.S. District Attorney Booth Goodwin on the federal sentencing:
BECKLEY, W.Va. – United States Attorney Booth Goodwin today announced that a longtime Massey Energy Company executive was sentenced to 42 months in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release for two federal crimes in connection with an ongoing investigation of practices at Massey. David Hughart, 54, of Crab Orchard, West Virginia, is the former president of Massey's Green Valley Resource Group and the highest-ranking official to be convicted in the ongoing federal investigation. Hughart's sentence is one year above the top of federal advisory guidelines range. Hughart previously pleaded guilty in February to two federal charges: conspiracy to impede the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and conspiracy to violate mine health and safety laws.
"Mine safety laws exist to protect the health and safety of coal miners. When those laws are broken, miners' lives are put in danger. That's absolutely intolerable," said U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin. "This prosecution reiterates the message that mine safety laws are never, ever optional."
Hughart admitted that he and others at Massey conspired to violate health and safety laws and to conceal those violations by warning mining operations when MSHA inspectors were arriving to conduct mine inspections.
Hughart is the highest-ranking mine official ever convicted of conspiracy to impede MSHA or conspiracy to violate mine health and safety standards.
Coal mines in the United States are subject to an array of mandatory federal mine health and safety standards designed to prevent dangers such as explosions, roof collapses, and fires. MSHA conducts frequent, unannounced mine inspections to monitor compliance with those requirements. When MSHA inspectors find violations of health and safety requirements, mine owners are subject to monetary penalties and, in some cases, production shutdowns until violations are corrected.
The investigation was conducted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Labor Office of Inspector General, and the Internal Revenue Service's Criminal Investigation arm. Alpha Natural Resources, Inc., which acquired Massey's operations in a June 2011 merger, is continuing to cooperate with the investigation.
The sentence was handed down by United States District Judge Irene C. Berger in federal district court in Beckley.
Counsel to the United States Attorney Steven Ruby handled the prosecution.
BECKLEY (WVVA) - In a 1 p.m. hearing before Magistrate Clarke VanDervort, bond against former Massey executive David Hughart was revoked.
In the hearing, VanDervort said Hughart was caught driving under the influence in Beckley Aug. 30 and tested positive for oxycodone.
Hughart has acknowledged this being a violation of the conditions of his bond.
Modifications to the bond revocation would be considered pending the outcome of Hughart's sentencing hearing -- scheduled for 2 p.m. today in U.S. District Court.
WVVA's Caroline Bach is following Hughart at both court appearances today and will have more information as it becomes available.
BECKLEY (WVVA) - A former Massey executive is scheduled to appear in court twice Tuesday -- first for drug offenses, and second for federal sentencing on a conspiracy conviction.
David Hughart, 54, is facing a bond-revocation hearing with a magistrate judge at 1 p.m. after being arrested last month on drug charges. Police said Hughart was caught in Beckley Aug. 30 with the painkiller oxycodone and the anti-anxiety drug alprazolam.
Hughart is awaiting sentencing from U.S. District Judge Irene Berger on federal conspiracy charges after pleading guilty to conspiring to give miners at Massey's White Buck mine illegal advance warning about surprise inspections.
That hearing is scheduled for 2:30 p.m. He faces up to six years in prison and a $350,000 fine for the federal conviction.
Hughart did not work at Upper Big Branch Mine, where 29 miners were killed in a 2010 explosion, but has been cooperating with investigators.

A central Illinois man won a $1 million Powerball prize last week, after purchasing an online subscription to the drawing on the lottery's website.
The winner bought the Quick Pick ticket, and matched the first five winning numbers -- 05 - 12 - 43 - 52 - 55 – (10) -- on Nov. 23, via a three-month Powerball subscription he purchased in October on the lottery's website, according to a release from the Illinois Lottery.
The unidentified resident of Paxton, which is located about 30 miles north of Champaign, is Illinois' second $1 million Powerball prize winner to have bought their ticket online, the release said.
The Illinois Lottery became the first lottery in the country to sell tickets online in March 2012, according to the release. The other $1 million Powerball ticket sold via www.myillinoislottery.com was won in December, 2012, by a west suburban Brookfield man.
Powerball drawings take place Wednesday and Saturday nights at 9:59 p.m., the release said.

The Word: Jimmy Kimmel's prank-filled wedding
It seems that on Jimmy Kimmel's wedding day, his celebrity friends were intent on giving him the greatest gift of all: pranks.
At least two stars managed to subvert wedding traditions at Jimmy's wedding to Molly McNearney. According to Us Weekly, "Precious" star Gabourey Sidibe arrived in a full wedding gown and veil, and even took Molly's place for the walk down the aisle (Molly followed her — she had set the whole thing up).
Later, the couple shared a romantic first dance together — until Howard Stern cut in and danced with the bride instead.
Serves Kimmel right after encouraging his viewers to pull pranks like throwing cold water on a sleeping spouse. I wonder if anyone else pulled any pranks we haven't heard about yet. I don't know if Sarah Silverman was at the wedding…
Meanwhile, over in France, Halle Berry and Olivier Martinez also said "I do" in front of 60 guests Saturday at Chateau des Conde in Vallery, according to Us Weekly. Berry and Martinez were married in a civil ceremony earlier in the day, followed by a religious ceremony at the chateau. The day finished off with dinner, dancing and fireworks. "They all partied long into the night," a source says.

Tributes for soldier set to receive posthumous Victoria Cross
A Midlands MP and former army colonel has paid tribute to a soldier from Northamptonshire who is to receive the Victoria Cross for his "extraordinary courage" in Afghanistan.
Lance Corporal James Ashworth, 23, from Kettering, died last June while protecting his comrades during a battle with the Taliban. He served with the 1st Battalion Grenadier Guards.
Patrick Mercer, the Conservative MP for Newark in Nottinghamshire, said it was an extremely rare honour, with only 10 Victoria Cross' awarded since the Second World War.
"It's a sad thing but Victoria Crosses these days are largely posthumous," he said, "which gives you an idea of the intensity of fighting which actually leads to the award and a declaration like this."

The FGCU women's soccer team is heading back to the NCAA Tournament.
Freshman Ally Kasun's goal in 93rd minute of overtime gave the top-seeded FGCU women's soccer team a 1-0 victory over second-seed Mercer in the championship game and its second-straight A-Sun Tournament title Sunday afternoon at the FGCU Soccer Complex.
The only unanimous choice to the A-Sun All-Conference first team, Kasun gained control of a loose ball of a blocked shot and ripped a right-footed blast from the middle of the 18 into the upper right corner for the golden goal at the 92:13 mark. Kasun was named the A-Sun Tournament MVP.
In a rematch of last year A-Sun championship game, FGCU's 1-0 win over Mercer was almost a mirror image of the 2011 outcome.
In last year's title game, the Eagles used a goal by then-freshman Shannen Wacker (Parker, Colo. Ponderosa HS) in the 106th minute to clinch its first-ever NCAA Tournament berth.
The Eagles will likely remain in the state of Florida for the NCAA Tournament because several schools will be host sites, including Miami, UCF, Florida and Florida State.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I requested a complete change to this design. I removed the boarder and the stripes on the back, so I pretty much started with a blank card. I had a photo on each side. The designer did an AMAZING job. I suggested some things, and she had even better ideas. I'm very happy with the design. One thing that I wish I could have seen before ordering is the texture of the 2 options for paper type. I understand this can be difficult to appreciate from a computer screen. But, they could post a link to a YouTube video showing the difference between the paper. The one I chose (I forget the name, but it was the NON-pearlized one) ended up having a 'bumpy' surface. I wish it was completely smooth, since it makes my photo look strange in some places. But, I didn't go with the pearlized paper b/c I didn't want it to be too shiny/sparkly. Seeing it on video would have helped me make a better decision possibly."
"This site is great, they have amazing layouts and it was easy for us to narrow down our selection. We knew approximately how many pictures we wanted and roughly how we wanted the pictures formatted. We tried a few designs and loved that we could just upload the photos and go! Being able to zoom in and keep that as the crop is an amazing tool and feature, it greatly benefitted us not having to crop each photo separately then re-upload. We also really liked being able to pop different pictures in and out. Just being able to play around with the various fonts and seeing everything before your eyes makes all the difference. I cannot say enough good things about using this site for my save the date postcard! Thank you for making this process smooth and stress free."
"I used navy to personalize my save the dates and match my wedding colors. I added another line of text underneath, and it turned out perfectly. I used rounded edges which look great. I like how this card emphasized the picture of my fiance and I and the words "save the date". This card made it simple and straightforward which is what I wanted."
"We have received numerous compliments on our save-the-dates! Highly recommend this choice. Shipping was fast and convenient too."
"The postcards just came and I couldn't be more happier! They shipped to Canada in under a week an the quality is fantastic! We will definitely ordering our invitations from Wedding Paper Divas!"

I've been waiting nine years to write this column. I didn't know it would be nine years. How could I?
Who would have imagined that the National Hockey League lockout in the 2004-05 season would have been the beginning of a near-decade-long wander in the wilderness for my tribe, my nation, my Maple Leafs.
Missing the playoffs is a tragedy known to most NHL hockey fans — the exception being the Detroit Red Wings, who hold the pro sports record of 22 straight post-season appearances.
Why, even the mighty Montreal Canadiens have failed to make it to the dance several times in the past decade, even finishing dead last the previous season (I needed to rub that in.)
But the Leafs, good Lord, the most lucrative franchise in the league, the team with the most crazed fans (he wrote, struggling out of his blue and white straight-jacket), how could such denial, such penitence, such prolonged suffering be possible?
A few years ago, a friend, thinking it a gentle tease and not knowing how it actually hurt, gave me a copy of a book titled "Why The Leafs Suck," by veteran sports writer Al Strachan. It chronicles the woeful tale of frustration since 1967, the last time the Leafs won the Stanley Cup, which, naturally, is the current league record for a championship drought. (The New York Rangers were the last to have that distinction, ending a 54-year Cup-less stretch in 1994.)
But, let's not get ahead of ourselves and start to dream of sipping from Lord Stanley's mug; playoffs are won one game at a time. As of this writing, the series versus the Bruins has not yet begun, and your scribe lives in the blissful ignorance of not knowing yet how badly — or well — the Leafs' first playoff game in nine years went.

I bought this chandelier last year to hang in my newly renovated kitchen and while I was a little nervous ordering something I had never seen in person, I was surprised at how well it looked once it arrived. It fit perfectly in to the space. I went and ordered another similar hanging light from Overstock, to go over the kitchen sink. They are both quite serviceable and coordinate well.

An ordinance, once at the center of a dispute over the world largest power paragliding event, has passed in Panama City Beach.
In a 3-1 vote Thursday, the City Council approved for the city to have greater control over events involving the growing sport.
The new law will restrict how high individuals can fly, in addition to establishing set take off and landing areas.
Specifically, the City will have the ability to shut down the event if it proves too dangerous, following multiple attempts to promote safer practices.
This clause was cited by "Beach Blast Fly in Paradise" organizer, John Black, as the reason for him canceling his event, just shy of its fifth year.
Black was not present at Thursday's meeting.
