3.5/5 rDev -2.5%
12 oz bottle dated 26-JUL-12 into a Hoffman House Glass on 21-AUG-12.
A - Bright amber with a large bright head that fades into a very slight crown. Brilliantly clear. Very pretty.
S - Underwhelming toasted bread & biscuit.
T - Crisp malt with moderate carbonation. Strong bitterness in the middle with light caramel. Relatively dry finish.
M - Medium to light body with moderate carbonation.
O - Made the mistake of trying this AFTER the pumpkin beer. An excellent example of the Marzen style, but I just want more pumpkin....

12 oz. bottle poured into a 20 oz. shaker glass.
A - Pours a glistening golden copper into the glass. A four-finger head of egg-cream white, dense pillowy foam slowly collapses, leaving patches along the sides of the glass. Eventually, the beer is left with a solid layer of lace across the surface. Held to a full-spectrum light, the beer is a vibrant apricot orange and rather cloudy, with a swirl of suspended trub floating in the middle.
S - Rich notes of toasted malts and caramels spill out of the bottle on the pour. In the glass, the nose is fresh whole grain toast with a light fruit marmalade. Notes of richer caramels emerge from the backgound.
T - Toasting is a bit darker on the tongue. Crunchy toasted barley malts are featured, with soft caramels in the background reminiscent of a decently torched creme-brulee. Hints of orangeish sugars sneak out on the tongue after the swallow. There's noticeable floral/herbal hops in the finish that keep all but the sides of the tongue clean.
M - A touch on the fizzy side, with moderate carbonation. Feels a bit dense and chewy in the mouth. Moderately light body with a comfortable structure. Finish tapers off from the quaff and leans a bit drier than to be expected.
O - This is a quite enjoyable Marzen; definitely one that can be sessioned. The slant toward a bit fuller toasting than is typical for the style really keeps the sugars at bay without turning the beer into a hop-forward brew. While there really isn't anything particularly distinctive, it's the balance and toasting that make this the kind of beer that's a comfortable go-to within the style.

Departs the bottle a clear amber hue, with a small offwhite head. Head and lacing fall away after just a few minutes. Aroma is subdued, with bready malt and fruity and spicy hops. Light bodied and well carbonated in the mouth. Taste is well balanced between a bready maltiness and a subtle fruity and spicy hopiness. Slightly metallic, but finishes clean and refreshing. Solid, if unspectacular.

12 ounce bottle, with "Bottled with love dating" on the bottom of the front label. Nice
Looks like an Oktoberfest, smells like an Oktoberfest, tastes like an Oktoberfest.
Medium amber, khaki head of moderate size, leaves a nice looking tiny bubble film and thin collar.
Bready nose, malty sweetness on the palate. Hops dry out the finish.
Hits the mark, smooth and enjoyable, respectable sessioner.
My favorite use for Oktoberfest brews is to marinate chicken and/or brats in em....

Pours a copper orange. White creamy head that dissipates rather quick. Good lacing. Smell of citrusy hops, some malt. Taste is malty with quite a bit of bitterness. For me, the bitterness overpowers everything else. Good carbonation. Not my favorite Oktoberfest.

A muddled dark copper and brown pour, almost no head, can't retain what ain't there. Same with the nose. Just ain't there.
Taste, fairly average, malt forward, thin enough bodies. No real appreciable taste, plenty smooth and undercarbonated. Mildly nutty and chalky if you look for it.
Another average offering.

4.3/5 rDev +19.8%
Amber to orange in color with a tiny head that disipates quickly and a slight lacing.
Aromas of bold malt, bisquit, and a slight lemon.
Plenty of malts, bread, caramel and a slight herb/floral taste, maybe tyme and a little lemon. The hops show slightly at the back end, no bitterness, just a little pepper.
Easy to drink, sweet and satisfying.

3.41/5 rDev -5%
12 oz bottle, poured into a pint glass
Appearance: Pours a cloudy, orange color, with a half of a finger of a white head, speckled with orange highlights, which dissolved into a thin halo of foam that gripped the sides of the glass and formed a few wispy clouds that settled on top of the beer.
Aroma: Not much in the aroma department, either that or I'm stuffed up. I do get a few, faint notes of malt and caramel, but not much else.
Taste: What the beer lacks in aroma, it more than makes up for in flavor. Lots of malt upfront, followed by some caramel-like sweetness, orange citrus, and finished with some nicely balanced hoppy bitterness.
Mouthfeel: Medium, with some ok carbonation. Smooth. With an ABV of 5.5%, there is no presence of alcohol on the palate.
Overall: Solid offering from Schlafly. Very tasty beer. I'd certainly get it again, next fall.

Poured from a 12 oz. brown bottle with a "bottled with love" date of 8-10-11 so this beer is just over 2 months old at time of tasting. Poured into a Duvel tulip.
A - A lighter orange than most other Marzens I have been tasting lately. A rigorous pour yields a 2 finger head that sticks around for a little while but eventually sinks into ring around the edge of the glass.
S - Not much on the nose here. The only thing I can really pick up is faint hops which is not the norm for Oktoberfest beers.
T - Similar to the nose, but there is some complexity here. A sweet malty backbone leads into a refreshing hop presence. Bitterness is mild. I can detect some phenols near the end of the glass and other than that its kinda bland.
M - I kinda think this one is undercarbonated. Light bodied.
O - I'm glad to get some hops from a Marzen for once, but they kinda muddied up the rich malt flavors that I look for in this style.

Tired this one at Buffalo Wildwings. I ordered my usual 22 oz SA O-fest, and our usual waitress Marcie (yeah, we go there enough that she knows what we drink) asked me if I wanted Schlafly O-fest instead of SA. She's good.
A - Orange/amber and very slightly hazy with a big two finger head that sticks around for a while and leaves tons of white lace on the glass.
S - Pumpkins and spice. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and pumpkin pie filling.
T - A caramel malt base provides some solid, but sweet malt flavors, and the hops are balancing but subdued. Again, big time pumpkin flavors and lots of wintery spices.
M - Medium bodied and solid in the mouth with crisp carbonation and an off-dry finish. Nice and rich.
D - Outstandingly drinkable as are all good O-fests. I drank two big ass 22 oz glasses of this wonderful stuff.

The Schlafly Oktoberfest is a good festive beer! the appearance is a clear amber with decent white foam that laces throughout the drink. The smell includes sweet malt and grain. The taste is a great balance of malt and sweet goodness. Typical marzen beer great for the cooler fall days. Worth a try if you come across.

I made a mistake in drinking this. I was looking for a Wild Blue Blueberry Lager, and grabbed this by mistake. I didn't even look at the label when I pulled it out of the fridge. I poured it, didn't look like blueberry. I smelled it, didn't smell like blueberry.
I was confused, so I took a drink, didn't taste like blueberry. My second thought was, "Damn, that's good beer." I continued til the glass was gone, and then looked at the bottle to realize I drank the wrong beer.
I was happy I did...it poured with a nice, quickly evaporating head, and slight lacing. Nice amber color with a hint of seasonal spices. Smooth to drink, with only a hint of bitter in the slightly sweet finish. Can't wait to buy a case...as good a beer as I've had in a while.

Split a mixed 12 pack from a Hy Vee in Columbia, MO. Poured a tall, off-white head with a toasted caramel malt aroma. The flavor has a little tangy lager kick in the aftertaste that reminds me of Summit's O-fest. The malts are mild at first, but a little orange peel hop, burnt caramel, a pleasantly grainy crust. This beer is more aggressive than your usual Oktoberfest, but you could consider this a tasty American interpretation.

Nice shots! Glad you're enjoying your lens. I am enjoying mine more and more now.
I bought the Tokina 16-28mm about a month ago and I love it!
I'm no expert on UWA photography, but I'm having fun trying to get the hang of it.
My first impressions have been that it's very sharp, good color, low distortion, and affordable. A fantastic lens!
There were instances where I had some flare when the light source was directly in the picture, but it didn't strike me as a major issue or big detractor from the overall quality of this lens.
Here are a couple I took recently.

Late-game heroics, missed penalties, crazy goals and heartbreak highlighted Week 8 in Major League Soccer.
History was also served this week as a franchise-record shutout streak came to an end, two teams set marks for futility and one hit the century mark in games played.
After the dust all settled on this week, the biggest story may have been about the league's goal-scoring leader and his injury. We will have to wait and see what it means for his club going forward as well as what it will mean for the rest of the league.
Henry on the mend
Take one look at the New York Red Bulls injury report and you will be amazed. Big names all around but more importantly key names in the attack and defense headline that list. But none is bigger than the league's leading goal scorer getting his name added to the injury report. Thierry Henry contributed a game-winner against the New England Revolution on Saturday but 20 minutes later he was down on the pitch in pain.
His hamstring injury will put him on the shelf for at least three to four weeks. Manager Hans Backe called it a very serious injury for the French star.
Henry will now miss key games coming up against the Galaxy, and Eastern Conference rivals Houston and Philadelphia.
Henry's nine goals and five assists will certainly be missed for New York. Even though they beat the Revs on Saturday, you could tell their offense took a beating when Henry went down. Kenny Cooper may have seven goals to his name this season but he was ineffective without his strike partner up top and once again the wide players in Dane Richards and Joel Lindpere failed to contribute anything of note.
Dramatics for Western Conference clubs
The phrase leaving it late seems to be a normal thing for some clubs this season. In Week 8, it was there once again to help a couple clubs secure points while frustrating their opposition.
The flair for late-game dramatics is usually a sign of a good team getting points or, even better, a win regardless of how their play was, while for the other side it is a letdown to say the very least. Out west, the LA Galaxy rode a stoppage time goal from Chad Barrett to tie FC Dallas 1-1. The Galaxy got the game-tying goal from from veteran reserve player Pat Noonan. Yes, not David Beckham, Landon Donovan or Robbie Keane on the goal but Noonan.
Good thing Noonan came through for the Galaxy too because all the fuss would have really been over the penalty kick miss by Keane rather than the game-tying goal.
In Salt Lake, another unlikely hero emerged as Jonny Steele found the back of the net in stoppage time for Real Salt Lake as they shocked Toronto FC 3-2. The term shocked is used merely because Toronto was so close to their first point of the season. Now the Reds stare at history in the worst kind of way in the form of matching the league's all-time mark for worst start to a season at 0-7-0. Ouch.
Finally, not to be out done by their fellow Western rivals was the San Jose Earthquakes. The Quakes rode two goals from Steven Lenhart, including a stoppage-time goal to beat the Philadelphia Union on the road at PPL Park.
Frank Yallop's side continues to impress with more dramatic wins. Now that Lenhart is contributing along side Marvin Chavez and Chris Wondolowski, you have to really enjoy the kind of turnaround this club has gone through.
Wondergoals by Lee and Pappa
Jay DeMerit called the 1-0 win for the Vancouver Whitecaps over the Columbus Crew ugly, just plain ugly. But he couldn't help but be happy with his teammate Young-Pyo Lee, who found the back of the net on a brilliant free kick. His far post strike was good enough to give the Whitecaps their sixth shutout of the season.
Lee's goal certainly wasn't the only crazy moment of this game though as both Eddie Gavin and Josh Williams had goals called back within minutes of one another.
But not to be outdone by Lee's free kick was Chicago Fire midfielder Marco Pappa. The Fire lost to the Seattle Sounders 2-1 thanks to an own-goal and Eddie Johnson's first MLS strike since 2007. But it was Pappa who brought the highlight to this one at Toyota Park.
Pappa scored the 'olimpico' goal to get the Fire on the board. For those who aren't familiar with the olimpico goal, that is when you score directly on a corner kick.
Impact stay unbeaten at the Big O
Want to talk heartbreakers at the moment? Look no further than to the Portland Timbers who are now 2-5-1 on the season. The Timbers gave up two late goals against the Montreal Impact to drop to that mark. Bernardo Corradi (from the spot) and Sinisa Ubiparipovic found the back of the net for the Impact, who remain undefeated at home this season (2-0-1).
This is big trouble for the Timbers. They've given up a league-high seven goals now in the final 15 minutes of the game and are looking more like an expansion team than they ever did last year during their inaugural season.
Still, with all of that the Impact aren't happy with the 2-0 win. Jesse Marsch told reporters after the match that his club can still play better than they did. I can't blame him really for those comments as his club has still failed to really put a full 90 minutes together this season. But for an expansion team, they'll take the wins when they can get them, no matter how ugly they were.
Rocky Mountain beating
All season long Chivas USA had out done themselves away from the Home Depot Center. But all of that came to a crashing thud on Saturday in Commerce City as the Colorado Rapids absolutely owned them for 90 minutes in a 4-0 beating.
This game had all the makings of a nail-biter until rookie Tony Cascio rifled a shot by Dan Kennedy. Moments later Kamani Hill and Omar Cummings put the Rapids up even further while Jeff Larentowicz added his own to the mix.
After stumbling down the pipe for a few games the Rapids got exactly what they needed. But the biggest news may have been in stoppage time for Oscar Pareja's bunch when Conor Casey made his long awaited debut this season. Casey is coming off a nasty injury that he suffered late last season. Having him back will certainly be a lift as he works towards being able to go the full 90 here.

Hi all,
I am very much frustrated by these features.
I have yet to hear a convincing explanation for them.
There are some ideas here and here.
The only natural phenomena I can think of which can produce regular patterns is interfering waves. Change the first wave's phase to 24 and leave the rest of the parameters at default to see a natural binary pattern. However I can't see how it would apply here.
I am very much interested in any brainstorms you may offer.
Thanks in advance for any comments.

Leaky Live Coverage: J. K. Rowling Interview on Oprah Winfrey ShowJ.K. Rowling
++++Today, the nationally syndicated Oprah Winfrey Show is set to broadcast an interview with Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling. This interview is being broadcast now in Chicago, and Leaky will live updates, quotes, and information from the interview as it airs. Leaky's Twitter will also be live tweeting throughout the broadcast! Stay close to Leaky for the very latest info, full transcripts, and video throughout the day!
- Interview taking place at the Balmoral Hotel in Scotland, the place where the final Harry Potter book was finished. "Stunning," says Jo.About hotel: "Well, it turned out to be simulating, as I was finishing Deathly Hallows, the window cleaner came, the kids were at home, the dogs were barking, and I could not work. And this light bulb came on above my head I thought 'I can throw money at this problem. I can now solve this problem."
- Final words of the book: "It was a bereavement. It was huge. I think one way, although I knew it was coming... we all know the people we love were mortal, we all know we're mortal. You know it's going to end."
- Initially I was elated, then I cried... like I had never cried before. And only twice in my life have I cried like that... when my mother died."
- "I had to mourn Harry."
- "They're all in my head still. I could definitely write an eighth, a ninth book." Will you write another book? "I'm not going to say I won't."
- "I feel I am done, but you never know."
- The press pressures: "It was, I can say that now, because I'm free of it. At the time I felt a need to deny how great the pressure was becaue that was my way of coping. It happended so fast for me, and it shouldn't have happened. It was a childrens book, a childrens book which I was repeatedly told wasn't very commercial. Because I had been turned down a lot. It was like being a Beatle. But there were four Beatles, so they could turn to each other and say "My god, This is crazy!" I couldn't turn to anyone."
- The pressures, "At that point I kept saying to people 'I'm coping, I'm coping.'
- One day every child in the world will know is name, did you know it would be true in the real world? "I remember once, a flash of clairvoyance. I was writing Philosopher's Stone and I had this moment where is suddenly thought, 'The difficult thing will be getting published. If it gets published it will be huge."
- "I was something without self-belief in myself, but there was this one thing that I could do."
- "I never really found the right thing [to write] before Harry Potter."
- "I love a kooky word."
- "I am very frustrated by fear of imagination, I don't think that's healthy."
- "I'm not pushing any belief system here, although there is a lot of Christian imagery in the books, that's undeniable. And certanily in Hallows...that's an illusion to a belief system in which I was raised. But to answer the question about being critized in that way [by religious groups]... If they're talking about the dark and scary stuff, I think it is perfectly legitiment for a parent to say that's a little old for my child, or we're going to discuss that together, read that together... that's great. In fact, that's perfect! On the 'You must not discuss witchcraft, you must not have witches or magic in the book,' I find that nonsensical."
- What having money can do: "It's having that moment where you are looking at two things and you think 'I can, actually, have both."
- "I dress better. But, that's not just about having money because you meet dress atrociously!"
- "I can't accept that I will ever know that I'll always be rich... I dont want to get complacient, I don't want to take things for granted... Well, you know, I am talking absolute rubbish... I would really have to be very stupid [to not be wealthy forever], but, yeah, I do still worry. Not all the time, most of the time I think things are great."
- About what money has done for her : "It frees you... that's why it's like a superpower. The luxury of being able to sit down and say 'Where shall we go for our holiday?' and not be in any way limited..."
- "No, I don't drive. Cars terrify me... Lately, I have had a driver."
- Do you take the bus: "Occasionally. Within the past year I've taken the bus."
- Did you ever picture your life the way it is now? "No. Never. And I really, really never. It overshot the mark so ridiculously. I was so unprepared for it, and this was the thing that I think I really never spoken about: I was a writer. I had no one near me, either professionally or personally, who could in any way help me when I had questions, like, 'What do you do when the press is searching through our trash?' The really crazy stuff that happens...
- If you're an actress you expect that, "Of course," says Jo. "You know if I'm wildly successful that stuff will happen... But if I'm a writer, you never think of that."
- Have you made peace with your relationship with God, and do you call it 'God? "Yes, I do." "[Love] is a concept that runs through all the major religions, without execption. This is probably true of all writers, but I believe what I belive because of what I have written. Ultimately, before I wrote it, what did I believe? I probably couldn't have told you."
- "Love wins. When someone dies, love doesn't get turned off like a tap."
- What did your first marriage tell you about yourself? "Well, I think that first and most important thing to say would be that I would do it again, step for step to have Jessica, who is incredibale. Don't regret a thing. I think I repeated pattens from my family, as we often do, in my selection of my first husband. I think that it taught me I'm proud that it taught me how... that I had a strong survival instinct. Beacsue when I knew it was time to go I left."
- I can't pretned that I walked straight out of that marrigae feeling enlightend in any way, I felt shell shocked. I had a very tiny baby and I walked straight into povery and depression. In a strange way, yes, that was enormously illuminating. But I did a lof of thinking after that marriage ended, primiarly about me."
- And it was seven years before I met the right man, and it needed to be seven years. But, I was really ready."
- The strange thing is, a week before I met Neil-- and I hope this gives hope to all single women out there-- I remember speaking to a very good friend and she said what would you like in a man? And I said I would need to be with someone intelligent, because I just value it. I would really like for him to have his own carrer... I really thought these were basic things. Integrity as very important and kindness, and a strong sense of who he was... These were things that were all very important. And she looked at me and was like 'That's not going to happen!"
- Her father, "[Being estranged from him] is never a thing to do in the public eye."
- Do you think you'll ever make peace? "No, I dont. I think that it's such a huge thing to be estranged form a parent that you'd have to have very big reasons to do that."
- Do you have your reasons? "I have my reasons. It wasn't a good relationship, from my point of view, for a very long time. But, I had a need to please and I kept that going for a long time. But then there came a point at which I pulled up and said 'I can't do this anymore."
- Do you regret that he can't be part of this success? "Well, the estrangement happended post-success, so I felt he was there for a while. If I am totally honest with you, I regret much more that my mother never saw any of it. That's a bit of a killer. She would have adored it."
- Her mother and the books. "I would have told her about it, I would have done. And I know she would have really like it it. I think it was six months before she died I started writing and I never shared it with her."
- Do you regret that? "Yeah, The odd thing is-- this is life isn't it-- the books wouldn't be what they are if she hadn't died. I mean, her death is literally on every other page in the Harry Potter books. At least half of Harry's journey is to deal with death, what it does to the lving, what it means to die, what survives death."
- "If she hadan't died, I don't think it is too strong to say there wouldn't be Harry Potter. The books are what they are because she died."
- Dementors came from her depression. "Clinical depression is a terrible place to be. I think I had tendencies to depression quite young. It became really acute when I was 25-28; it was a dark time. It is that absence of feeling, that absence of hope. You don't know you can feel better. It is so difficult to describe to someone who hasn't been there, because it isn't sadness. Sadness is not a bad thing, to cry to feel. And it was because of my daughter that I went and got help."
- Harvard speech: "That was easilsy the most frigetening thing I've ever done in my life. It felt very exposing because this wans't me reading out words that had already been approved. I used to be borderline phobic about public speaking. So I've come a long way... there are things like giving a speech on TV that still can't do that very easily."
- Rock bottom became her foundation, how to use failure. "It doesn't get spoken about enough. I do not know anyone... who are terrified, who are in a straight jacked of their own making, because tehy are terrified of failing, and they won't try for fear of failing.
- "[Rock bottom] was liberating. What did I have to lose?"
- The Harry Potter universe. "I could be so much worse. Michael Jackson wanted to do the muscial and I said no."
- Do you control all of it? "No, I have a say. For me, I love the films, I love the books, and there are elements that are really fun around it. Now, the theme park, when they came to us, they came to us with a really extraordinary proposal: which was state of the art and they could back it up. And I thought 'Yeah, this could be amazing.' But I only wanted to do it if it was going to be incredible. And it truly is. If I had been a reader, I would have love to go to the parks."
- What do you know for sure? "This is going to be tricky. I know that love is the most powerful thing of all. And I remember thinking that, God, I'm about to make myself cry, but I remember thinking that when 9/11 happened, because those last phone calls were all about, the last thing that I'm going to say on this earth is that 'I love you.' What's more powerful than that? What's better proof than that? It's not fear, beyond death. Complete quote:
Oprah: In my magazine I do a column called What Do You Know for Sure? And every month when I write it, I'm like "I don't know a thing! I don't know a thing!"
Jo: (laughs) I'm really glad you said that because if I thought you were going to ask me what I know for sure, this is going to be tricky. Okay. Okay.
Oprah: I'm prefacing it by saying, it is difficult to know what's for sure.
Jo: Yeah, it is.
Oprah: But, what do you know for sure?
Jo: Um, well I definitely know that love is the most powerful thing of all. And I remember thinking that... God, I'm about to make myself cry, but... I remember thinking that when 9/11 happened, because those last phone calls were all about-- the last thing that I knowingly am going to say on this earth is "I love you." What's more powerful than that? What's more proof than that? Beyond fear, beyond death.
Oprah: It's so interesting you mention 9/11 because I think about them all the time.
Jo: It is such a huge... it is a defining moment in our lives.
- "It's a defining moment in our lives. I remember thinking "They've come down?" and turning on the TV and saw it. And I paniced, because I have friends in New York, and I emailed two of my best friends in New York, one of whom is my editor Arthur Levine, and bizarrely he was able to virtually immediately email me back, and the last line of his email was 'And they say that we shouldn't teach children about evil.'"
- What is your dream of happiness? "Well in the first Harry Potter book Dumbledore says to Harry 'The happiest man alive would be able to look into the mirror and see himself exactly as he is.' So I'd have to say I'm pretty close."
- Will you be writing more? "Oh definitely, I literally can't stop. Well, you could tie my hands to my sides, I suppose, but I have to write for my own mental health. I need to write. I love it."
- Chasing the phenomenon: "I'm proud that I did it, but this is a new phase."
- Final question: Is there a part of you that feels I have got to top Harry "No, and I get asked that... interestingly, people tell me that. They say 'Well, you know, you must just think how are you going to top that?' And I really truly don't think that. It was amazing,a nd it was insane at times. It was fun at time, I am so greatful that it happened. I love the people that read the books, I dedicated the last book to the people who ware dearest to my heart, and the seventh part of that is the reader."
- "There was a girl who came up to me on the street the other day, she bloomed out of the pavement... and she must have been in her early twenties, and she said to me 'You are my childhood.' About the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me."

A proposal to lower tax rates for oil companies has been defeated in the North Dakota House.
The bill came out of the Tax and Finance Committee with a do not pass recommendation.
The bill was intended to lower the oil extraction tax.
In exchange, the bill would have cut the exemption for so called stripper wells and eliminate price triggers that would lessen state taxes for companies if the price of oil falls below a certain level.
Sponsor, Senator Dwight Cook says the purpose was to bring tax certainty to the oil industry and the state.
However Democrats blasted the measure saying it would cost North Dakotan's more than $1.3 billion in the first five years.
"Our committee believes a solution and revision of this policy must be revenue neutral, it must continue to serve the long term best interests of our citizens. We understand the longer term vitality of the oil industry is essential to ND's future," says Representative Craig Headland of Montpelier.
Headland says the committee was unable to come to a consensus on the measure.
The vote was 87-6 to kill the bill.

Skirting around the fringes of the early days of photography, we must rely on sketch drawings for perspectives of Cork Hill in the days before Lord Edward Street.
Henry Shaw's ever-helpful The Dublin Pictorial Guide & Directory of 1850 shows a charmingly picturesque urban scene as viewed, somewhat optimised, from outside City Hall.
Tall Georgian commercial premises step up the hill from the entrance to Blind Quay on the right - now Upper Exchange Street - towards the Newcomen Bank in its pre-extended three-bay appearance on the left. The bank's main entrance is clearly apparent as being on Castle Street, which survives to this day with its associated entrance hall, while the Cork Hill elevation is railed with a basement well - this too was a secondary entrance originally.
Of note is that in 1850, only one shop had modern plate glass windows (the vertical strips of the middle shop) while all the others retain quaint Georgian grids. The three-bay house on at No. 10 has its horizontal stacking shutters up.
Of the buildings on the right, remarkably all of these plots still survive. The Queen of Tarts is second from the left!
Indeed, the left-hand buildings possibly retain Goergian fabric behind their sober machine-made brick facades to this day, although I do remember reading a reference to the Exchange Street corner being comprehensively rebuilt - it may have been confused with the former newspaper offices on the corner with Parliament Street though. The viceregal warrants are a proud civic feature that has all but vanished from Dublin streets - sadly an element that could still be seen into the 1950s.
Turning the other direction and reeling back half a century, here is a rare view of one of the great institutional pairings in the city: the La Touche Bank to the left and the Newcomen Bank to the right. What a spectacle, when combined with the west front of the Royal Exchange, as one approached the gates of Dublin Castle. The steep incline, the gracious sweep in the road, the monumental sense of enclosure, the grandiose pretentions of the architecture: urban theatre at its very best.
The print is taken from the December 1788 edition of the Gentleman's Magazine. In the background a few Billys are scribbled in to heighten the sophistication of the new.
Christine Casey's memorable observation of the Castle being 'shamefully upstaged' by its sophisticated neighbours on Cork Hill is vividly brought home by such perspectives.

INTM Student Research and IPRO Projects
INTM offers relevant education for those building a career in industry. Our degree programs focus on attaining practical knowledge and experiences related to current technologies and practices employed in industry, with particular emphasis on the development of managerial and leadership skills.
Collaboration with industry is an integral part of the student experience. This is achieved in several ways:
- Graduate student research projects explore a range of issues pertinent to industry and often focus on operations, process improvements, entrepreneurial ideas, economic impacts and contemporary topics
- Interprofessional projects (IPROs), wherein students, under the direction of IIT faculty, troubleshoot an operational issue identified by private industry
- Guest lecturers and facility/plant tours
- Internships and job opportunities for students
These activities help strengthen industry while motivating and preparing students for meaningful and productive work.
MITO Graduate Student Research Projects offer an opportunity for students to do in-depth analysis of a topic that is relevant to their specific interests and/or current job. Each student is matched with a faculty adviser who draws from years of professional experience to help guide the work. Interviews with company representatives, data collection and assessment of operations, and facility tours provide students with invaluable information for research projects, far superior to online and mainstream informational resources. View synopses of recent graduate student projects.
INTM programs serve students working in manufacturing, industrial facilities, construction specialties, logistics and supply chain, and related fields. In aligning our students' interests and faculty expertise, INTM has facilitated numerous industry-driven IPRO projects, a sampling of which is presented on our IPRO Projects page.

Career as motivational speaker
Every type of career has a specific way to be started and developed. Most need the attendance of colleges or special universities, while others are based on personal talents and experiences. The debate which one is the better choice for a person can go indefinitely, and the truth is both sides will have strong points on their side. Therefore, all you need is to look at life itself – there are hundreds of examples of people achieving success because of good education or thanks to the gifts they managed to develop all by themselves. So, it is up to every one of us to decide which way to take and how to reach the end goal.
That same principle applies also to the career as a motivational speaker, which some study hard to achieve, while others simply have inside from the moment of their birth. A motivational speaker is not a simple teacher, who makes you learn geography, no, he or she is the voice inside your head that tells you to go on, to do better to ask for more. That only makes the speaker special and unique, as the words coming from his or her mouth are dressed in such meaning that are actually able to change lives.
A passionate motivational speaker is contagious, and just like that the listeners are inspired to accomplish great things in their lives. Things that a few hours before that they were not even considering. The secret lies in a number of things that every successful speaker should possess. The personal charisma should be the first one to mention, then comes the ability to speak in front of people in a fascinating manner, and the talent to convince others through personal stories and proven facts in the possibility of doing better in their lives.
The process from there is easy. Once the area of expertise is identified and backed by education and interest, then comes the first speech designed for a certain target group. The topic should be important both for the motivational speaker and the audience he or she is addressing, in order for the results to be good. The message that has to be transmitted must be the center of the speech. All the other elements have to be related to it and work together to reinforce it. That is usually done through meaningful presentations and personal stories that keep the attention and make people look inside themselves.
Among the successful motivational speakers in India the figure of Simerjeet Singh (www.simerjeetsingh.com) stands out with the fascinating enthusiasm it inspires. If you want to see the development of a successful career as a motivational speaker, visit the website of Simerjeet Singh at www.simerjeetsingh.com. The website not only presents its founder, but also describes the ways motivational, inspirational and keynote speaking work. The career in the field is a life defining choice that shows a desire to help people change their lives and the world around them.

All About the Professional Coaching Program
Duquesne's Professional Coaching Certification Program (PCCP) is accredited by the International Coach Federation (ICF) as an Accredited Coach Training Program (ACTP) and provides 144 hours of Approved Coach Specific Training Hours.
Building Your Skills - The Program Modules
The program is delivered in a blended learning format: classroom, online, and teleconference. Program content includes:
Module One: Context
As you step into the shoes of a professional coach, you will acquire new skills and adopt a new way of being in the world. In Module One, we will honor your transition into this exciting new chapter of your life and begin to explore what it will be like for your clients to be coached. We'll examine the core assumptions of coaching, the purpose of coaching, the primary skills of coaching, the structure of a coaching relationship and a coaching session. You will learn to design the Relationship Agreement with yourself and with your new clients so that it is effective and fulfilling. You'll learn the Duquesne Coaching Model, discover new aspects of yourself and your skills, set personal goals, and create a vision for yourself. You'll begin to practice applying your new-found skills immediately in the classroom, with your colleagues, and with practice clients.
Module Two: Discovery
In Module Two, you will further the self-awareness you began in Module One and explore the myriad ways to build the self-awareness of your clients. To further your self-discovery, you will clarify your values, uncover your strengths, articulate your purpose, design a vision, set goals, and analyze your work-life integration. You will learn how to be present with emotions (your clients' and your own), how to incorporate assessments into your coaching, and help your clients identify what motivates them. You will build on the foundation of specific coaching skills from Module One as you learn to move your clients powerfully toward their most authentic, resonant, and fulfilling lives.
Module Three: Possibilities
In the Possibilities Module, you will coach your clients to expand the possibilities before them, by examining and widening their perspectives, attitudes, and options. By building upon their self-awareness and discovery, your clients will now be primed for making powerful, conscious, aware choices. As you engage with your clients and they learn more about themselves and their deeply-held desires and dreams, roadblocks will also appear. This is the natural way of roadblocks - they appear as soon as we begin making choices toward the best life we can imagine. In Module Three, in addition to enabling choice, you will learn how to recognize the voices behind the roadblocks and how to honor them. And you'll learn many ways to cut through, tear down, and reduce the impact of limiting beliefs that want you to stay right where you are. You'll learn the power of possibility on the one hand, and the management of roadblocks on the other.
Module Four: Action
The Action Module focuses on the essential component of coaching - what occurs in the lives of clients in-between coaching sessions. In this Module, you will move your clients forward by coaching them to set goals, take actions, and assume accountability. You'll learn to move them into beliefs, attitudes and actions that make life rich and resonant. You'll foster learning and inspire action - action that is slow at times and at other times moves the clients along by amazing leaps and bounds. You will explore with the client the deeper meaning of who they are, what they desire and how they want to impact the world around them by their actions. At the same time, in this learning by doing module, you will personally engage with your instructors and colleagues about your own values, strengths and visions for how to move forward in your life and the actions you choose as you offer your gift of coaching in the world, whether by building a business, using your coaching skills in your current position, or simply incorporating coaching skills into your most important relationships.
Module Five: Expansion
In Module 5, we arrive back at the purpose of coaching: an authentic, resonant, and fulfilling life. In this module you will learn to choose among all the skills, strategies, ways of being and beliefs you have learned and uncovered, to create truly transformative growth in your clients. You will practice being flexible, swaying like a reed in the wind as you dance with your clients to facilitate their development and guide them into meaningful actions. While fine tuning the application and integration of your coaching skills, you will explore what is next to foster your own learning and inspire your own personal action. We will examine the current state of the coaching profession, explore multiple coaching resources, and contemplate the potential power of coaching to change the world.
Module Six: Supervision
The Supervision Module is perhaps the most powerful part of the Duquesne Coaching Program. It all comes together in this module, in which you coach real clients, record your coaching, and receive direct and specific feedback from your instructors. These sessions are where your excellence shines through as you tweak your coaching and truly create your own unique style.
Module Seven: Electives
Module Seven provides you with opportunities to learn some specific aspects of coaching, more about a specific niche, or more about building a coaching business. You'll pick and choose which electives will complete your learning in the Duquesne Professional Coach Certification Program.
Module Eight: Capstone
In Capstone, you will celebrate your journey and display your developing skills! You will complete a written exam, an oral exam, and share your personal plan for using your coaching skills out in the world. While there are "tests" in this module, we know you will be ready, and it truly will be a celebration of how far you have come during the six months of the program. Together, we will launch you out into the world, allowing more people to experience the deep benefit of working with a trained, experienced, passionate and professional coach like you!
The next cohort begins September 5, 2014.
The program is offered in a hybrid format as reflected in the schedule of classes. There are six foundation course weekend classes (conducted Friday evenings 5 to 9 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.) on campus. Following are dates for the current cohort:
- September 5-6, 2014 (Technology Orientation 2-4 p.m.)
- October 3-4, 2014
- October 31-November 1, 2014
- December 5-6, 2014
- January 9-10, 2015
- February 6-7, 2015 (Elective)
- April 25, 2015 (Capstone)
The remaining coursework is taught through online modules and webinars. View a chart of the Program Components.
"The most beneficial aspect was learning from my peers through structured and informal work and discussions. Many were very accomplished leaders with great questions, commitment to learn and constructive feedback to hold me accountable to coaching principles and myself. Coaching reinforced my preferred approach that is client-centered, growth facilitating and focuses on assets and ability not deficits and drawbacks."

---- — Activity
Read more. Watch less TV. Ditch the Xbox (for a few hours). Be more active: go outdoors, for a walk or jog. Take a drive. Ride a bicycle. Learn. Grow. Explore new things. Be adventurous. Do not waste your short time here on Earth doing nothing.
To that special someone in the black pickup truck who bought our dinner at Ronnie's Michigans Aug. 29. A special thank you so much. We were so pleasantly surprised. You had left before we could thank you.
Why do young people feel immortal, especially when they do idiotic things to themselves? You put yourself in risky situations, like riding an ATV, or driving without a seatbelt, going over the speed limit, and suddenly there's death, waiting for you around the bend. Be wise.
I know when college students return: the streets and lawns around town are littered with fast-food wrappers, dirty napkins, uncouth language and empty beer cans. Ah, youth.
Finally our roads in disrepair around the Plattsburgh area are being addressed with road joints being prepared for paving and "bump" signs everywhere. Congrats to all. However, roads being prepared for 6 weeks with major bumps without paving is a bit much, I believe. My car says ouch.
Beekmantown Central needs to combine the athletic director position and the assistant principal position. Follow the lead of Saranac and Plattsburgh, who have combined these positions to save taxpayers money.
You should change the name of your newspaper to the Press Democrat or Press Liberal Democrat. I find most of your editorials are slanted left.
Strongly support the idea of closing part of City Hall Place for foot traffic, dining and shopping. Let's bring Plattsburgh downtown back to life. We may not ever be like Burlington, but there is a lot we can do to make downtown an attractive destination.
Rachel Maddow on MSNBC has really helped me understand the complicated politics of this presidential election. I recommend her to anyone confused at what's going on at the top of the political ladder.
Stop bashing our Canadian neighbors; they are our friends. You may find one or two bad apples in the bunch, but that also applies to we Americans. Bet you bigots will love this.
Unemployment bashing. I refer to the people who come into my store asking for an application and adding, "But I really don't want a job, I just have to do this." Or how about those collecting benefits who work off the books. If you know of this, report them.
When employers are asked for a reference on past employees, don't lie to the prospective hiree. It makes for a very unpleaseant transition and a false hiring, so that employees benefits will fall right back on you. This has happened three times in my privately owned store in one month.
Whatever happened to neighbor helping neighbor? Or giving someone the benefit of the doubt? Barking dogs are not a reason to ruin a perfectly good neighbor relationship. Next time, come to us instead.
With the start of a new school year. I hope that the administration will take look at the dress codes for its teachers. When I drop my child off in the morning, I don't want to see your tramp stamps and way too shorts skirts.

- Sexual or gender identity related issues
- Verbal, mental, emotional and/or physical violence
- Relationship issues (with significant others, parents, siblings, friends)
- The "Coming Out" process

A: A dark brown beer with good clarity that pours with a finger of creamy, beige foam. It has good head retention and leave some lacing on the glass.
S: A roasty, dark malt nose with light notes coffee and chocolate. A low sweetness and no hops.
T: There are moderate flavors of coffee, roast and a light chocolate flavor. A moderate hops bitterness against a moderate malt flavor having a light, clean sweetness making for a balance that is about even. Very little hops flavor. A finish that is medium and a roast malt and coffee aftertaste.
M: A medium-full bodied beer with a medium amount of carbonation.
O: Coffee, roast and chocolate dominate this easy to drink full bodied lager. A very good and very tasty example of the Schwarzbier.

Poured into imperial pokal; brown in the glass showing deep garnet in the light.
Smells of crackery malt, dark bread and grassy hops. Light notes of cocoa.
Taste is dark bread and cracker malt, smooth with light cocoa sweetness. Finishes wet but clean with some crisp hops.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied but clean and smooth.
Overall a tasty schwarzbier. More body than others I've had.

16.9oz bottle poured into a snifter.
A: Pours a clear dark brown appearing black in the glass with a slightly yellowed head on top. Leaves some nice lacing on the side of the glass.
S: Chocolate and roasted malts are the first thing I notice on this one. Biscuity or bready quality to it reminds me that it is a lager. Has a good nuttiness and a touch of dark fruits.
T: Nice blend going on here with a great flavor I think anyone could pick up and drink. Roasted malts come through very well and compete with a decent dose of chocolate flavor.
M: Light to medium body with a creamy mouthfeel. The finish is perhaps thin but one must keep in mind its low ABV and lager roots.
Overall this is one I would pick up more often if it were to be available. Combines the serious malt bills from the Evil Twin beers with the great lager aspects of Jacks Abby. Give this one a shot.

My first experience with Jack's Abby, a brew from my old stomping grounds. I'm a big fan of my namesake beer style (Schwarzbier), so I've decided to try Framingham's Evil Brew.
500mL bottle served, for better or worse, in a plastic pint. Beer is as black as expected in color with a massive brown foam. Neutral, musty aroma. Flavor is "light" and crisp, with a giant nutty flavor down the middle, and enough carbonation on the tongue to keep it interesting. The beer is a little sweet for my tastes. Not so much underfermented as underhopped; I might have liked an extra load of Saaz or Hallertauer to amp up the IBUs on this roasty beast. But, it's still good schwarz lager. I'm looking forward to trying Framinghammer next, or perhaps RIPL. Oooh, or Baby Maker. Yeah, Jack's Abby, that was OK, but I'm gonna give you another shot.

.5 liter bottle poured into an Allagash 40cl chalice.
A- Dark brown, almost black, burnt caramel on the edges, tan head.
S- Roasted chesnuts, grilling spice.
T- Burnt brownie crust, bitter peanut shell, roasted oats, sweet licorice.
M- Medium to Low body, doesn't taste thin; just light. Very smooth without being sweet or viscous.
O- A must try. Would like more hop character, but that's just me being nit picky. Very great example of what Lagers do best.

Good review again Tom, I completely agree with the score. Been playing this for the last couple of weeks and it took me a few days to get used to the controls. D-pad works best, there's just no...

BEIJING (Aug. 20, 2008) - Somehow finding a way to win when it counted most, the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team defeated Serbia 3-2 (20-25, 25-23, 21-25, 25-18, 15-12) on Wednesday at Capital Indoor Stadium to advance to the semifinals of the Olympic tournament.
The U.S. Men, 6-0, are now guaranteed a chance to play for a medal. That process begins Friday at 12:30 p.m. when the United States will play Russia, 5-1, in the semifinals. Brazil will play Italy at 8 p.m. in the other semifinal.
The U.S. Men showed jitters from the start on Wednesday, falling behind 3-8 in the first set.
"I'd be lying if I said we weren't anxious," said Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.). "I couldn't nap. It's almost like there's more pressure than on a semifinal. There's no second chance."
On Wednesday, Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) led the U.S. Men in scoring with 18 points on 14 kills, two blocks and two aces. Priddy (Richmond, Va.) added 17 points on 14 kills and three aces. David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) had 15 points on 12 kills and three blocks. Riley Salmon added 14 points on 12 kills, one block and one ace.
Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) scored 11 points on a match-high seven blocks and four kills.
Setter Lloy Ball (Fort Wayne, Ind.) scored one point and was credited with 46 running sets and 54 still sets in 100 attempts for an average of 9.2 sets per set.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) was credited with seven digs and 15 "excellent" receptions out of 23 attempts.
Serbia's Ivan Miljkovic led all scorers with 28 points on a match-high 23 kills, three aces and two blocks. Serbia out-hit the U.S. Men 61-56. The United States out-blocked Serbia 14-12 and had six aces as opposed to five for Serbia.
Serve-receive proved to be a bigger issue for Serbia as the United States came away with 41 percent "excellent" and Serbia with 25 percent. The United States had 11 service errors as opposed to 17 for Serbia.
U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon blamed his team's poor performance early in the match to its worrying too much about the big picture and not enough about smaller, individual plays.
"There's a tendency to want to force a great play and somehow change the momentum when things aren't going your way," McCutcheon said. "One of the things we've been doing his summer is trying to invest in good plays."
After falling behind two sets to one, Team USA found itself in a must-win situation in the fourth set. With the score tied 6-6 in the fourth, the United States got the serve back and took the lead on Salmon's kill. Salmon served and ace to give the United States an 8-6 lead and a Millar block made it 9-6.
The U.S. Men held the lead for the rest of the set, although Serbia kept it close, almost catching Team USA at 12-11. But with Priddy serving, the United States score two straight points, on a Salmon kill and a Serbian team error, to hold off Serbia and it did not get closer than two points again in the set.
The fifth-set tiebreaker stayed even until the score was 4-4. Serbia took the lead on Nikola Grbic's kill then extended the lead to 7-4 on two straight U.S. hitting errors. But just as quickly, the score was tied at 7s as the U.S. scored three straight points on a Priddy kill, Stanley block and Serbia team error.
With the score tied 10-10, the United States put together another rally on two Stanley kills and a Millar block for a 13-10 lead. Serbia scored twice more, but ran out of time as the United States won the match on Salmon's ace.

Product Information
- Hot Wheels 4-Lane Elimination Race from Mattel
- Part of the Hot Wheels brand
- We recommend this product for ages 5 and up
What It Is
What It Is
Find out which of your Hot Wheels cars is the fastest with the Hot Wheels 4-Lane Elimination Race playset. This cool new track allows kids to race four cars at once—but only one car will make it through the finish line. As the cars race down the track, three of them will be eliminated until there is only one car left. The track merges from four lanes to two and then down to one. The faster cars pass over triggers in the track that pop up and knock off the slower cars. The track is easy to put together and it folds up for easy storage and transport. It includes one Hot Wheels vehicle.
Why It's Fun
Hot Wheels is all about racing cars and that's just what this racetrack playset offers. It's classic racing fun with a lot of thrilling action. It's a lot of fun to watch the slower cars get knocked off the track. Kids will love figuring out which of their Hot Wheels cars (or any 1:64-scale cars) are faster, and the basic simplicity of the set and its classic play pattern make it irresistible.
Who It's For
Boys, ages 5 and up, with an interest in cars or a collection of Hot Wheels vehicles, will find this playset the most fun.
What to Be Aware of
Mattel says that the playset is not for use with some Hot Wheels vehicles. We doubt putting the wrong car on this playset will do much damage to the car or racetrack, but we'll leave it to your discretion.

'Unfair' cuts threat to future of school
3:00pm Sunday 9th February 2014 in News
THE future of a high school has been put in jeopardy as the costcutting axe fell on schoolbuses.
A controversial decision to cut vital free school bus transport has been rubberstamped despite fears it could make Manningtree High School "unviable".
Families on the outskirts of Manningtree will now face having to pay to send their children to school under the Essex County Council plans, which will see children of low-income families only given free buses to their nearest school.
It is likely to force many children in the Bromleys and surrounding area to go to Colchester Academy instead of Manningtree as it is classed as their closest school.
County councillor for Tendring Rural West, Carlo Guglielmi, has branded the move "unfair" and raised fears it could even lead to teacher redundancies.

Blues Brothers making a comeback in new tribute concert
Updated 10:44am Monday 18th February 2013 in News By Lauren May, Chief Reporter
The Blues Brothers will be making a comeback this month as they burst on to the stage at the New Wimbledon Theatre.
The Blues Brothers Approved will feature original members from the West End production who will be performing classic hits from the smash musical comedy including Everybody, Gimme Some Lovin, Think, Shake a Tailfeather, Sweet Home Chicago, accompanied by sassy backing singers the Bluettes.
The tribute concert is inspired by the 1980s musical comedy starring Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi, which followed the story of convict and parolee Jake Blues and his brother Elwood who hatch a plan to put together their old band in a bid to save the Catholic orphanage where they grew up.
The Blues Brothers, Approved; New Wimbledon Theatre, The Broadway, Wimbledon; February 19 to 23; £10 - £29.50; 0844 871 7646; atgtickets.com/Wimbledon

I have no idea where this throw was going. It was just that bad. But then again, those two sentences sum up Tim Tebow's day as he struggles mightily against the Detroit Lions. He's never been able to get anything going and it's been almost painful to watch.
Here's the interception return, which went for a solid 100 yards. It was horrendous.
Of course, we said the same things last week, when Tebow and the Denver Broncos came back from down 15 late in the fourth quarter to force overtime and eventually win. But this isn't last week and the deficit isn't 15; it's 41. And two Tebow turnovers account for 14 of the 44 points the Lions have put up.
For more on Stafford and his matchup with the Broncos, check out Lions blog, Pride of Detroit, and our Broncos blog, Mile High Report. Also be sure to check out all of our fantasy football news and video highlights of the best Week 8 action.

Shrewd appointment by the New Lane boys.
Hope he stays fit or else the Disciplinary Panel could be busy if his hot headed young deputy ever has to stand in!
Any news on the Pro's at his current and former clubs?

John Baldwin clearly has a nose for runs and a useful habit of penetrating the opposite batsmen with the ball.
You can guarantee that Baldwin will give his all, off the pitch if not on it.

Low bounce up there should suit him.
Any news on a Pro there yet?

The Curiosity Cycle: Preparing Your Child for the Ongoing Technological Explosion
The second edition is now available!
Get The Curiosity Cycle at Amazon.com (Kindle and paperback) and at Barnes and Noble (Nook and paperback)
Table of Contents, Preface, and First Chapter
The Curiosity Cycle is a book for parents and educators who want to teach their children to be active explorers of the world. Learning through curiosity leads to adaptive thinking because your child is continually trying to improve his or her understanding of the world, and new facts and ideas become embedded in the knowledge that your child already has. Curiosity will also enrich your child's life because curiosity-based learning is internally directed and intrinsically motivated.
Our world is rapidly changing, and our children must be able to filter the cacophony of voices in cyberspace to stay true to their own values. With the advance of new communication mediums surrounding the Internet, it is now increasingly difficult to shelter children from opinions that we find objectionable. The Curiosity Cycle can help parents and teachers instill in their children the necessary self-awareness and independent thinking ability needed to combat negative outside influences.
Our children must also be prepared for the profound effect computers are having on our society. These changes brought by computers are reshaping the employment landscape, and the success of our children will be determined in part by their ability to create new artifacts with technology. On an even larger scale, technology makes it is easy for us to be passive consumers because we are now bombarded with more entertainment options than ever. The Curiosity Cycle will help you to teach your children to define themselves as active creators instead of passive consumers.
The Curiosity Cycle has been discussed by the New York Times and Voice of America.
Praise for The Curiosity Cycle
"If Mugan starts his book with wisdom that would have been familiar to our grandparents, he ends it with wisdom that seems to come from our future grandchildren." Singularity Hub
"The book overflows with informative bites that you will want to quote to everyone you know. If you're at all interested in learning, education, child development, or even how adults learn and think, The Curiosity Cycle is a must read." GeekDad
The Curiosity Cycle "offers very helpful 'games' or strategies that parents can use to encourage not only curiosity, but critical thinking in their children . . . If you have an interest in fostering your child's curiosity (and what parent doesn't), then take a look at this book." The Thoughtful Parent
"As a homeschooling parent, I'm always on the lookout for ways to help my child learn to think for himself . . . So when I found a veritable treasure trove of inspiring and do-able ideas in this unassuming little book, I was thrilled. I think you will be, too." The KidZui Blog
"The world will only become a more complex place technology-wise, and our children will need to know how to interact with it while still remaining free-thinking, active members of society. Mugan maps out seven concrete tactics parents can take to encourage their child's natural curiosity and ensure they don't lose their desire to learn." Babble
