The starry evening will mark Jackman's fourth time hosting the Tony Awards. He previously hosted the 57th, 58th and 59th Annual Tony Awards (2004-2006). Jackman received an Emmy Award for hosting the 58th Annual Tony Awards in the category of Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program.
"We are thrilled that Hugh will be joining us, once again, at Radio City Music Hall to host 'The 68th Annual Tony Awards,' said Charlotte St. Martin, executive director of The Broadway League, and Heather Hitchens, executive director of the American Theatre Wing, in a joint statement. "Hugh is an extraordinary talent and loyal supporter of the Broadway community – whether he is on-stage or in the audience - and we are honored to have him back as host."
"A great Broadway season + great host = a must watch live televised event," added Tony Awards executive producers Ricky Kirshner and Glenn Weiss of White Cherry Entertainment.
Hugh Jackman won a Tony Award for his performance in The Boy From Oz, and he was also seen opposite Daniel Craig in A Steady Rain. He returned to Broadway in 2011 in his one-man show Hugh Jackman, Back on Broadway. Although the show ran only until the end of that year, Jackman's continued dedication to the Broadway community was feted at the 2012 Tony Awards, where he received a Special Award from the Tony Awards Administration Committee, recognizing his accomplishments both as a performer as well as a humanitarian.
Kirshner and Weiss of White Cherry Entertainment will return as executive producers of the upcoming Tony Awards, and Weiss will serve as director for the 15th consecutive year.
The American Theatre Wing's Tony Awards are presented by The Broadway League and the American Theatre Wing.

This is a perfectly good neighborhood shop. The selection is more than adequate, and if you're used to what you find in any potraviny or even the large supermarkets, it's wonderful. The shopkeeper is very nice and more than helpful. She speaks enough English to assist in most issues/questions you may have, for those of you not quite functional in your Czech. Though the selection is largely lagers, there are some fine exceptions, incl. Pardubicky Porter, Primtor stout, and even an IPA. Recommended!

easy to find spot - on the castle side of the charles bridge, just a block or two off the river - an easy diversion from the tourist activities
its a rather small store, but they only sold beer and had a fair amount of it. The shopkeep spoke a little english and was nice enough to ask if i needed some help. it was probably the first time i have ever been in a beer store and generally needed help, because all of this czech beer was very foreign to me
she walked through a handfull of her favorite dark and light lagers and i wound up with 1 of each. I was relieved to discover that both were highly regarded on BA and both were nice. Quality service.

My experiences with large liqour and beer stores left me feeling a bit like this place was a closet. Of course, it didn't need space for aisles of wine, macro lagers, or other space eating merchandise. Galerie Piva onoly has space for the good stuff, and lots of it. There isn't a single grocery store beer in the bunch.
The service is very knowledgeable, and speaks enough English to make recommendations. Galerie Piva was a pleasant stop, and allowed me to sample beers that I have not seen at other places in Prague.

Probably the easiest bottleshop to find while in Prague. Just take the first real left after you cross George Bridge going north.
They specialize in only Czech beers and predominantly the ones that are independently owned. Prices are reasonable, ($1-3 per bottle) though you may find some better deals at the larger hypermarkets. The fella working the day I was there wasn't much help, but he was friendly and cracked open a cold one to help my parched mouth while perusing.
Cold ones were useful when wanting to people-watch on the bridge afterwards.

What a great random place that i happened to stumble into on my endless walks through prague.. Situationed in the Lesser town area right after walking off Charles Bridge this establishment is very easy to find and the staff is very friendly... I went in and found about 60 bottles of czech brews that i had mostly never heard of.. Included in this list were three Herold brews, a full line of Primator brews (some which arent included on the website so far) and many others.. I went in and bought 12 beers and they tossed me a complimentary box to carry them in SWEET! also while choosing all these beers i didnt know of i asked the nice czech man working there for his input and he was more than helpful to add which he liked and had a decent knowledge on his products.. Also they carried a nice line of glassware and some cold brews for on the spot refreshments.. Overall this is definetly a nice little hole in the wall to stop in to pick some hard to find czech brews and the only establishment i found on my walks through prague...

Modern civilization began right here in the Tigris-Euphrates river valley. Also known as the Fertile Crescent or Mesopotamia, this is the place where, six thousand years ago, agriculture, writing and mathematics were brought into widespread use.
The term "Middle East" comes from the British navy, which used it to describe the countries on the trade route from Europe to India and China. Everything from Afghanistan to Morocco may possibly be classified as "middle eastern", depending on whom you ask -- and when.
Only a partial list of past Empires in the middle eastern territory includes Sumeria, Babylonia, Persia, the Ottoman Empire and the Roman Empire!
When northern Europe was still lurking about in slimy cold stone castles playing chess, the Middle East was enjoying the flowers of poetry, luxurious craftsmanship, music and literature. In fact, the Renaissance in Europe was partly inspired by stories brought back from the middle east by travelers along the trade route.
Strategic location, religious history and the world's largest supply of crude oil have kept the Middle East at the center of world activity for centuries. The saga continues.

The Glorious, over 40-Year History of the Festival du nouveau cinéma
It all begins. Two film fanatics, Claude Chamberlan and Dimitri Eipidès, determined to provide a space for films lacking distribution, come up with the crazy idea of starting a festival. Gallons of sweat later, the first screening (in 16 mm) of the Festival International du Cinéma takes place on October 26 at the Musée des Beaux-Arts. Werner Schroeter is in attendance, and the Festival is already showing its originality, presenting experimental cinema, Peter Watkins' shocking Punishment Park, Frederick Wiseman's transcendent Hospital and Even Dwarfs Started Small by Werner Herzog!
Up, up and away. After moving into its very own space, the Cinéma Parallèle, the Festival changes its name to the Festival international du nouveau cinéma de Montréal. With great pleasure, it presents exciting new 35-mm works by a roster of directors that includes Raúl Ruiz, John Cassavetes, Pedro Almodóvar, François Girard and Jean-Luc Godard.
The magical year. The previous year, the Festival hosted the legendary Marguerite Duras. Quite a coup! But that was just a foretaste of the fine vintage known as the 11th edition. Some of the biggest names in international film? Duras, Forcier, Wenders, Schroeter, Morrissey, Groulx, Van der Keuken, Blank, Snow, Straub and Huillet and Akerman? converge on Montreal. And a new section devoted to a cutting-edge form of expression, video, was added. On a side note, the Festival introduces a little 31-minute short called Stranger Than Paradise... Encouraged by the Montreal audience response, director Jim Jarmusch extends the film to feature length and wins the Golden Camera at Cannes the following year!
Twenty wonderful years. The Festival turns 20, the age when anything is possible. Rejecting all compartments and barriers, the Festival incorporates innovative television productions into its lineup, screening episodes of The Prisoner in 35 mm and the first two episodes of Twin Peaks by a certain David Lynch! And since the year is all about big events, the unforgettable documentary Hearts of Darkness wins the grand prize!
A new home. For two years, Daniel Langlois has been the chairman of the Festival's board of directors. Under his direction, new media becomes a more prominent part of the event. In 1999, this development finds concrete expression in a unique, innovative space: the Ex-Centris complex with its exceptional-quality screening rooms and exhibition spaces. The Festival now has a brand new home and takes the opportunity to introduce what will become its emblem: the Louve d'Or, awarded to the best film of the year. In its first year, the award goes to Claire Denis for her memorable Beau Travail.
Thirty years old and not a wrinkle! Publishing a richly illustrated book and putting together a stunningly lavish and diverse lineup, the Festival goes all out to throw itself a 30th anniversary party to remember. For the occasion, Wim Wenders shows up to drink a toast with festivalgoers!
Long live cinema in all its forms! After much-noted appearances by Gena Rowlands and Peter Greenaway, the Festival establishes its identity. Now known as the Festival du nouveau cinéma, it includes no fewer than 24 world premieres and 23 North American previews in its lineup. We also launch a new section, Temps Zéro, further blasting through the boundaries between different forms of cinema!
Think big. The reputation of the Festival du nouveau cinéma is now rock-solid. As proof, all the big names are here ? Jacques Audiard, Laurent Cantet, Robert Morin, Atom Egoyan, Robert Guédiguian, Kenneth Anger, John Boorman, Jacques Doillon and Abdellatif Kechiche. For a few years now, the Festival has hosted a high-powered professional section, Open Source, as well as its new Focus Québec/Canada section. Continuing its momentum, the Festival, with Quebecor as its official sponsor, moves into the Agora Hydro-Québec at UQÀM's Coeur des sciences. The heart of the Festival? the ticket office, parties, events, meeting places and activities? now beats in this festive and welcoming new space.
Back to the future! The Festival du nouveau cinéma celebrates its 40th anniversary with Wim Wenders, Amos Gitai, Valérie Donzelli, Romain Gavras, Philippe Falardeau, Bertrand Bonello, Tran Anh Hung... The Festival wins the Conseil des arts de Montréal Grand Prize!
We expand ! The Festival du nouveau cinéma finds new locations, among them the Outremont Theatre where Les P'tits Loups are now concentrated, and the PHI Center where the FNC Pro converges. William Klein attends the Festival for a retrospective, and the long-awaited Life of Pi by Ang Lee is presented in 3D at Scotia Bank Cineplex! It's also the year of a first mutual retrospective with Fantasia Festival, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Japanese production company, Nikkatsu.

The Highway Patrol's Multi-Disciplinary Accident Investigation Team will recreate a crash that happened on Callahan Mountain Road Friday night in Greenville County.
Nine Boy Scouts were injured, and three of them were from the Midlands.
At New Heights Church in Columbia, the congregation is praying for all of the families involved.
"In the van and in the accident itself, there's a lot more young men that aren't from this church and aren't from the area," said Dr. Myles Beck.
Forty-three scouts from Troop 413 meet regularly at the church. Not all the boys went to camp and the troop was split between Camp White Pines and Camp Old Indian, a more advanced camp for older scouts.
The van was traveling between the two when it crashed. We now know D.J. Rish, who lost part of his leg, was also doused in gasoline and suffered chemical burns. His church family has wrapped their arms around the Rish family
Prayers for the family have started Friday night and will continue. They're keeping a positive attitude.
"The very fact that lives were spared and bodies will heal is always a blessing," Beck said.

By JOHN MARSHALLAP College Football WriterSCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) -- Shane Morris sat out most of his senior season in high school and spent a good portion of his first in college watching games from the sideline.After two years of mostly idling, the big-armed quarterback will be thrust into a spotlight unlike any he's seen before: as Michigan's starter against Kansas State in the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl on Saturday. "Just getting back to football after sitting out has been crazy and now to start in a bowl game is pretty amazing," Morris said Thursday. Morris spent his first season in Ann Arbor as Devin Gardner's backup, getting mop-up duty in three games.Gardner sustained a turf toe injury in Michigan's regular-season finale against Ohio State and suffered a setback last week, showing up in the desert wearing a protective boot.Michigan coach Brady Hoke said Gardner would have to practice by Wednesday to play in the bowl game and wasn't able to go, opening the door for Morris."Obviously, we recruited him at Michigan to be the quarterback at Michigan," Hoke said. "This is a great opportunity. We have a lot of faith in how he goes about his business getting ready to play."As a senior at De La Salle High School in Warren, Mich., Morris was limited to four games after a bout of mononucleosis sent him to the hospital for a week.Despite his limited action as a senior, Morris was considered one of the nation's best pro-style quarterbacks and drew interest from some of the top programs around the country.There was little doubt where he'd go.Morris grew up in Michigan, came from a family of Wolverines fans and has baby pictures of himself in Michigan's maize and blue. "It's been my dream since I was a little kid to start as quarterback for the University of Michigan," Morris said. "It's a huge bowl game. I'm excited."Morris won't go into the game completely cold.He attempted nine passes during the regular season but was able to learn by watching Gardner, a versatile quarterback who's thrown for over 4,000 yards and 32 touchdowns in 21 games as a starter the past two seasons.With Gardner ailing, Hoke had Morris work with the first-team offense during the bowl practices, giving him extra preparation time for his first college start."Everything has been great with him," Michigan receiver Jeremy Gallon said. "He's been connecting with the receivers, the running backs, building a stronger chemistry with the O-line. There's nothing new about him. I feel like he's been here forever."With Morris under center, Michigan will have a different look on offense. Gardner was a mobile quarterback who could make things happen with his legs as much as his arm. Though also agile, Morris is known more as a passer, a big-armed left-hander who's had to work at times on putting more touch on short passes so his receivers can catch the ball.Hoke said he has scaled back Michigan's offense some, but also has changed things a bit to emphasize what Morris can do.The change under center has made no difference to Kansas State in its preparation for the bowl game."If you prepare for their offense, you're virtually preparing for everything," Wildcats coach Bill Snyder said. "They can do an awful lot of things. Regardless who their quarterback is, our preparation has been along the lines of their offense in its entirety."

Parents throughout the metro area are angry and frustrated that school officials failed to dismiss students early enough or cancel classes altogether in light of Tuesday's winter weather.
Much of the metro area was under a winter storm warning for Jan. 28. The warning advised potentially treacherous road conditions could develop during the day, yet most school systems held classes anyway.
By mid-morning, several school systems, including Atlanta, Bartow, Cartersville, Cobb, Cherokee, Decatur, DeKalb, Forsyth, and Fulton among others, had decided to release students early. Marietta City Schools suspended bus services leaving hundreds of kids stranded at schools. However, the state's largest school system -- Gwinnett County Public Schools -- dismissed at its regular time despite deteriorating road conditions.
"With over 169,000 students, plus their parents, and over 10,000 employees you would think the county could make the call a little sooner so everyone can plan their day. Why is Gwinnett always last to call it, even when it is obvious that it would be unsafe to have classes? The Governor declared a state of emergency hours before Gwinnett made the call,"
Tom Hunter wrote in a blog post on Patch.
Even in areas where students were dismissed early, parents complained the decision was not made early enough. In some cases, buses were not able to complete their routes and parents were unable to reach the schools, leaving hundreds of students stranded overnight.
Did school officials make the right call in holding classes on Jan. 28 despite the winter storm warning? Let us know in the comments or vote in our poll. Note: This is not a scientific poll. It is for entertainment purposes only.

It has been tooooo long since I've done a blog post! I decided I want to start back up again because I love it! I have been busy with school. I am in my fourth year now, so I want to try and do good and go out with a bang. I can't wait to be done! I feel like I'm ready to move onto the next step of my life. This summer, I worked as a summer camp coordinator, which was really fun. I will be sad not to have that job again.
I decided I would do an outfit of the day blog post because I like what I am wearing today.

This is a limited edition art book created around 52 multimedia expressions combining photographic images and original poems. It is the first of a series of art books exploring the interaction of image and word. The artworks in this book took over 400 hours to create.
Many of the short form poems in this volume have been distilled from longer poems whose writing spans 30 years. They have been chosen for their potential alchemy with an image.
Each image is similarly chosen from the author's library of over 20,000 images of which 12,000 are digital. Many were gathered on extensive international travels.
Neither image nor word leads in these pages. Each is in mutual, intimate relationship with the other. Each marriage of words and image is intended to uphold the autonomy of each as well as the relatedness of each to the other. Each pair holds its own tension--sometimes synergistic, sometimes ironic, sometimes paradoxical.
Dr. Jill Mellick is a Jungian oriented psychologist who has been in private practice in Palo Alto, California, for over twenty years. An Australian by birth and upbringing, she has lived in California since 1975.
She is the author and co-author of many books including The Worlds of P'otsunu (with Jeanne Shutes); The Natural Artistry of Dreams; The Art of Dreaming; and Coming Home to Myself (with Marion Woodman). She is a contributing author to many other books.
Also a painter and photographer, she has held one-person shows and participated in group exhibits. Her paintings and photography are in private collections internationally. Her poetry has been published in literary journals in the United States and Australia. .

CHATTANOOGA (AP) - Police in Chattanooga are investigating the shooting of four teens at a birthday party where as many as 200 people showed up.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, none of the injuries were life-threatening. The four victims went to area hospitals after the incident early Sunday. They are 16, 17 and 19 years old.
The newspaper said a young man who answered the door at the home where the party was held said people involved in a fight inside the home were probably gang members.
The fight spilled onto the front lawn where shots were fired.
Police responding to a call about gunfire interviewed numerous people. All of them said they didn't see anything.
The party was for a girl's 14th birthday.

A full field of the world's best professional anglers continued their battle Friday for the top prize of up to $125,000.
The Redlands, Calif., angler brought another five-fish limit of spotted bass to the scales Friday, this one weighing 16 pounds, 7 ounces. With a two-day catch of 10 bass weighing 33-15, Ehrler now holds a 6-pound, 1-ounce lead over second-place pro Koby Kreiger of Okeechobee, Fla., who has a two-day total of 10 bass weighing 27-14.
"It took me a long time to catch a limit today," said Ehrler, who currently sits in a three-way tie for most wins in FLW Tour competition with five. "It was really tough. I think that my good area that I had yesterday is over with. I was able to catch one big one off of it, but I think they've moved on and I'm going to have a much tougher time trying to find the big fish tomorrow.
"I absolutely hate leading tournaments this early," said Ehrler. "I like the weight that I have caught the last two days, but I would much rather fly under the radar and work my way up on the final day."
Ehrler was not ready to talk about specific baits used, but said he had seven different rods on his deck. He fished mainly in the same areas as yesterday, and said the pressure on the lake was having an effect on the fishing.
"Every day it has been harder and harder to catch five fish," Ehrler said. "The weather has been up and down, but it's been consistent with no real fronts coming through. It has to be the tournament pressure on the lake.
"I think that timing is crucial in this event," he continued. "There are a few spots that I watched guys fish and then leave that I pulled up on later in the day and was able to catch a couple of nice ones. I'm not doing anything different; I think I'm just getting there at the right time.
"My gameplan for tomorrow is to just run the spots that I have been and hopefully I can catch a couple of big ones," Ehrler went on to say. "I've looked around at a bunch of new areas and I haven't really found a whole lot to get me excited. I might try out some new stuff, but I don't plan on spending a lot of time trying to find them."
One Alabama angler is among the top 20 who will fish in the final two days of the tournament.
Guntersville's Justin Lucas is in 18th place with a 23-14 total.
Tommy Biffle won the 3M ScotchBlue Big Bass Award on the pro side Friday with a fish weighing 6 pounds, 5 ounces worth $500.
Overall there were 614 bass weighing 1,162 pounds, 15 ounces caught by 157 pros Friday. The catch included 87 five-bass limits.
Hoyt Tidwell of West Point, Tenn., leads the co-angler division with 10 bass weighing 21 pounds, 9 ounces followed by Rick Bowen of Jackson, Tenn., in second place with 10 bass weighing 19-8.
Jasper's Todd Lee cracked the top 20 meaning he will compete the next two days in the co-angler division. Lee is currently in 19th pace with a 13-4 total. Also, Guin's Benjie Seaborn is in sixth with a 15-11 total.
Braxton Setzer caught Friday's 3M Peltor Big Bass weighing 5 pounds, 15 ounces in the co-angler division to win $250. Overall there were 333 bass weighing 547 pounds, 15 ounces caught by co-anglers Friday. The catch included 24 five-bass limits.
Anglers will take off from Smith Lake Dam Access at 7:30 a.m. Saturday and Sunday. Saturday and Sunday's final weigh-ins will be held at Walmart beginning at 4 p.m.
Fans will be treated to the FLW Outdoors Expo at Walmart on Saturday and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. prior to the final weigh-ins.
All activities are free and open to the public.Coverage of the Lewis Smith Lake tournament will be broadcast in high-definition (HD) on NBC Sports Network when "FLW" airs April 14 from 11 a.m — 12 p.m. ET.

The eight islands of Japan sprang into existence through Divine Intervention.
The first two gods who came into existence were Izanagi no Mikoto and Izanami no Mikoto, the Exalted Male and Exalted Female. It was their job to make the land for people to live on.
They went to the bridge between heaven and earth and, using a jewel-encrusted halberd, Izanagi and Izanami churned up the sea into a frothy foam. As salty drips of water fell from the tip of the halberd the first island was formed. Its name was Onogoro.
So far, so good. But when Izanagi and Izanami first met on their island, Izanami spoke to Isanagi without being spoken to first. Since she was the female, and this was improper, their first union created badly-formed offspring who were sent off into the sea in boats.
The next time they met, Izanagi was sure to speak first, ensuring the proper rules were followed, and this time they produced eight children, which became the islands of Japan.
I'm sure you did not fail to miss the significance of this myth for the establishment of Japanese formal society.
At present, Japan is the financial capital of Asia. It has the second largest economy in the world and the largest metropolitan area (Tokyo.)
Technically there are three thousand islands making up the Japanese archipelago. Izanagi and Izanami must have been busy little devils with their jewelled halberd...
Japan's culture is highly technical and organized. Everything sparkles and swooshes on silent, miniaturized mechanisms.
They're a world leader in robotics, and the Japanese have the longest life-expectancy on earth.

Town Square
City agrees to share $50 million with schools
Original post made on Jun 21, 2013

Why not share it with LASD too since Mountain View residents also attend those schools? Some Mountain View kids are getting the benefit of this additional money and others are not.
on Jun 21, 2013 at 8:07 am
@parent - The shared revenues come from the Shoreline Community District which is not located in the LASD Boundaries but in the Mountain View Whisman and MVLA Union High School boundaries.
City Council should be applauded for this generous and voluntary sharing.
on Jun 21, 2013 at 8:41 am
With regard to what MV-LASD parent said, I think you are not seeing the big picture.
The Mountain View City Council has approved MANY building projects in the NEC (North of El Camino) area. These projects have the potential to bring hundreds of new students into those areas. All of of these projects are within the LASD boundaries, yet the MVCC has yet to address the strain that puts on LASD. As a matter of fact, when they were asked by LASD to help deal with the effect of projects THEY approved, they, in effect, said it wasn't their problem.
As a resident of Mountain View with a child that attends LASD schools, I find this callous attitude toward dealing with a problem that they largely created very disturbing. It is embarrassing to have my city causing problems for the district my child attends.
If the MVCC was concerned with the issue THEY helped create, I would expect they would put some effort into solving it. Rather than approving more and more high density housing, they should work toward assisting LASD in obtaining an appropriate school site in the NEC area.
As parent stated, why should some MV kids benefit from this sharing and others not?

There are somechanges this year to the SOL tests in Virginia. The tests are moving away from multiple choice questions and studentswill have more technology enhanced questions. This means more fill in the blankor "drag and drop", selecting multiple answers from a list.
The reading sectionhas also changed a little bit, so teachers at Glenvar Elementary School havebeen working with students on those changes. Everyone expects the math sectionto be difficult after last year's changes.
The tests don't kickoff until next week, so they had a little fun today with a rockstar themed peprally. Teachers came up with a cheer and dance routine trying to pump the kidsup.
Some high schoolfootball team members and the Salem Red Sox mascot also provided someentertainment.
"We just try to givethe kids and the staff a week of fun and relaxation and we just try to pump thekids up because it's stressful. It's a hard time for all of us" said ShellyDix, a 4th grade teacher.
Roanoke City schoolssay they do similar events to get the kids pumped up. It's up to each school toplan an activity if they want.
Some high schoolshave already started SOL testing. Nextweek, elementary and middle schools can start testing.

First, the cabin. I was excited, since I booked a 4A guarantee and ended up with a 6A. The outside cabins are much roomier than the inside cabins, with a couch area and plenty of room in the closets. The bed was remarkably comfortable.
The lifeboat drill was fairly quick, and I was happy because it ended with enough time left to watch the ship set sail - something that was a problem on my other cruises.
I didn't meet my cabin steward for three days, but the service was perfect, with no complaints whatsoever. Ice was always in my ice bucket, and the bed always made up in a timely fashion, with towels replaced and changed out.
Score another one for Carnival as I was seated at a table in the Pacific Dining Room, on the second floor, all the way in the back of the ship. If it had been light out, the view would have been spectacular. My table was for eight, and there were seven of us; two guys that traveled together, and then two guys, two girls, and myself, sailing solo. Great group and we had a total BLAST! Our waiter was Ozzie, from Turkey, who was efficient and had the best personality of any waiter I have had on my cruises. The seven of us bonded quickly and spent most of the cruise hanging out together. The food was pretty good - typical menu that I have seen on other Carnival cruises, but we found out that some Carnival ships are no longer serving Baked Alaska, although the Victory is. I ate lunch on the Lido Deck, and enjoyed the roast beef sandwiches at the deli and the hamburgers at the grill. One of my new-found friends swears by the goat cheese pizza.
St. Maarten was a nice long stop, and I did the power snorkeling tour. It left from Orient Beach on the French side of the island, and was a fun expedition. There wasn't really a whole lot of fish to see underwater, so I will probably forgo the snorkeling there next time. I had been to St. Maarten before, and found that the Dutch side of the island is kind of poor, and the French side seems to have more resorts on it. I did pick up a fabulous pink sapphire ring and a tanzanite pendant from Venetian Jewelers.
The next day was St. Thomas. I took the St. John Champagne Catamaran cruise tour. I cannot recommend this enough. Be warned, though, catamarans in general tend to bob on the waves and if you tend to get seasick, you might not enjoy it. Anyway, the tour stopped at Honeymoon Beach, which is gorgeous, and I saw fish that I hadn't ever seen before, including squid. On the sail back to St. Thomas, the crew broke out and open bar and some great snacks. This was the BEST snorkeling trip I have ever been on, and I have snorkeled throughout the Caribbean and the Mexican Riviera. I only wish it had lasted longer. I also took the ride up Paradise Point and did some shopping at Cardow Jewelers, which both get thumbs up from me.
On the good ship Victory, the nightlife was hopping most nights. The piano bar was always packed and there was a terrific rock band in a lounge across the way from it. Karaoke every night, and some people were fabulous! The Ionian Lounge featured a jazz trio that was kickin', and there was a classical group in the atrium for pre-dinner music as well. Of course, don't forget the disco, where they actually played pretty good dance music. (Some ships I have been on they played mostly hip-hop or salsa music.)
The shows were great, for the most part. We had three comedians, and I'm afraid I can't remember the name of the best one... something Brown, I think. He is a large black man, and truly hysterical. He even handled it well when the audience sort of hijacked his R-rated midnight show. Al Romero I had seen before, but my friends laughed their butts off, and the third one, Dave Miller, was awful. He insulted the hecklers in the audience far beyond what was amusing, and really crossed the line in some of his alleged jokes. And I even like adult comedy.
The last night of the cruise was the Carnival Legends show, which is an update of the guest talent show. It was wonderful! They auditioned singers throughout the week at Karaoke, and everyone selected did a terrific job.
I have always enjoyed the art auctions, and enjoy learning about the various artists, but I noticed that this cruise had mostly collector's pieces, which tend to start around $800 in price, and very few of the "regular" lithographs, which are less expensive. I think that hurt the auctions quite a bit, as at the last one of the week, I would be surprised if they sold more than 10 items altogether and made for a very slow afternoon and the auctioneer was visibly frustrated.
Overall, this was the best cruise I took, although mostly due to the friends I made, rather than the ship or the itinerary. I found the ship to be difficult to get around (although it is laid out like the Valor, which helped me); three stops in a row weren't great - I wish they spread them out a bit more and maybe went to San Juan during the day.

Eagles Fall to St. Joseph's in Final Day of Under Armour Invite
CLEARWATER, Fla. – After scoring 25 runs in two games on Saturday, the FGCU softball team could muster only four hits against St. Joseph's, falling 4-0 to wrap up the Under Armour Invitational at the Eddie C. Moore Complex in Clearwater, Fla. With the loss, the Eagles fall to 9-11 on the season.
Stephanie Sullivan (Venice, Fla.) started in the circle, taking the loss to fall to 2-2 on the season. Sullivan pitched four innings, allowing four runs on six hits, walking two and striking out one. Kelci Breaux (Okeechobee, Fla.) came on and pitched two solid shutout innings of relief, allowing just one hit and recording one strikeout.
The Eagles had a good chance to score in the top of the first, but Hayley O'Mara (Naples, Fla.) grounded out, leaving runners on first and third. That would be the last time FGCU would get a runner as far as third base.
St. Joseph's (6-3) manufactured a run in the bottom of the first, starting with a leadoff single from Dana Parks. Parks advanced to second on an illegal pitch, and then moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. Monica Aguilar drove the run in with a sacrifice fly to right field, giving the Hawks a 1-0 lead.
The bottom of the fourth would see St. Joseph's extend the lead to 4-0, as they sent eight batters to the plate. Two singles and a hit by pitch loaded the bases with nobody out, and an unsuccessful fielder's choice allowed the first run to score. After the next batter walked, scoring another run, Parks reached on infield single, scoring the third run of the inning. Sullivan was able to escape further damage, getting Laura Cardone to foul out and Aguilar to line into a double play.
St. Joseph's starter Erin Gallagher kept the Eagles' offense grounded for the remainder of the game, allowing just one hit and one walk over the final three innings.
Lauran Ziegler (Palm Bay, Fla.) picked up half of FGCU's hits, finishing the game 2-for-3.
The Eagles land back at home on Wednesday (Mar. 10) when they will open up A-Sun play with a doubleheader against Kennesaw State. First pitch for game one is set for 5 p.m. at the FGCU Softball Complex.

Pours dark copper, decent head and lacing.
Smells of green hops, toasted bread, nuts and fruit.
The Amarillo hops are so obvious. Lots of herbal notes from the start, with pine, green grass, green tobacco, also the expected fruitiness. There's peach, orange rind, crisp lemon and grapefruit later on. Faint tartness. Big floral notes also. Toasted malts with caramel notes, providing a nice backbone to all the hoppy goodness. Bitterness is nice and mildly dry, leaving a clean fresh aftertaste.
Carbonation is low to medium, lightly prickling. Silky, smooth, chewy. Just great.
Not entirely respecting the style (the hops tend to take center stage), but a very beautiful beer.

Beer bottle (50 cl.) purchased from Bières & Chopes, and tasted in 2013.
Appearance : amber color, with tan foamy head (good lacing)
Smell : malty and grassy aromas.
Taste & mouthfeel : malty flavours, with a nice bitter finish.
Drinkability : a good beer in the style Vienna Lager.

Dark copper color. It Made a nice thick head that dissipated quickly.
As usual for Thornbridge's, it has a delicious aroma, this one floral and citric with hints of sweet toasted malts.
Malty flavor balanced with floral, piney and slightly citrusy hoppy sensation. Hints of caramel and toasted malts. Wonderful refreshing and tingling feeling at any serving temperature.
Dry aftertaste with a mild sweet bitterness.
Medium body with low carbonation.
Interesting that still preserving the characteristics of a Vienna Lager it has its own personality with a forward looking proposal. Those guys never let me down. It is a pity this is not very accessible to me.

Bottle: Poured a deep copper/brown color lager with a large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with some notes of dry and piney hops is quite refreshing. Taste is a good balance between some pine and dry floral hops with some caramelized sugar and just the rate amount of sweetness. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Well brewed with nice hoppy level and solid malt backbone.

Picked this up at my favorite beer store in Belgium, Dranken Geers. Beautiful mahogany pour with two finger off-white head with good retention and great lacing. Very toasty, malty, herbal nose with a surprisingly hoppy, nutty character. Hints of caramel and biscuit round it out. The taste follows suit with a nice fresh, herbal hoppiness, balanced nicely with a solid caramel malt backbone. Hints of toffee, biscuit and nuts with some subtle citrus notes as well. The mouthfeel is thick and slightly syrupy but extremely smooth with a slightly tangy and bitter hop bite on the finish. I'm a little surprised at how good this beer is since I'm not a real big fan of Vienna Lagers. Wasn't expecting it to be so bold and flavorful. But I really shouldn't be as Thornbridge has not disappointed with any of their beers. They're all top notch, solidifying them as one of my favorite breweries right now.

Poured from a 500ml bottle into a pint glass, purchased from Discount Supermarket in Cardiff less than an hour ago.
Pours with a pretty massive head and lots of lacing as you drink down. A deep/dark amber colour of the drink and the head is soapy white.
Smells nice, pretty malty and fairly alcoholic.
Tastes lovely, malty with a slight hoppy bitterness that seems to stay tingly your tongue for ages. A slight sweet almost caramel taste is there too. Making the beer seem almost thick in texture.
Overall a lovely tipple. I'd have it again.

A - Darker amber than expected with a decent head that lasted.
S - Bready Yeast, Fruit, spicy, grass, bit of hop
T - Hoppier than the smell, a bit nutty, and crisp on the tongue
M - Very smooth and silky, really quite gorgious.
O - One that is better than the sum of its parts. Great example of the style!

500ml bottle bought from The Vineyard, Belfast..
Poured a clear deep amber red colour. Light mocha head poured fairly thick and foamy with a frothy topping then faded quite quickly to wispy covering with thick edging that climbs up the glass... no real carbonation... some decent lacing lines...
Aroma - Lots of nuttiness, good dose of grassy and piney hops, sweet caramel and biscuit malts, quite bready, lots of fruits (apples, some pears), citrus notes, quite floral...
Taste pretty much mirrors the aroma - lots of piney and floral hops backed by caramel malts and biscuity notes, light grapefruit... quite bready too..
M&D - Quite sharp and dry... light / medium bodied... A good sessionable brew at only 5%...
Overall - An excellent take on a Vienna lager very quaffable... this is something i wish i always had access to.. recommended

A 500ml bottle with a BB of March 2012. A Vienna lager with a late addition of Amarillo and Tettnanger hops. According to the label, killing your darlings is a writer's phrase that indicates the removal of characters from a manuscript. This beer was created for an art exhibition in collaboration with Kid Acne.
Poured into a Sam Smith's pint glass. A deep reddish-amber hue with good carbonation. Produces a large creamy head of tan foam with good retention; it eventually subsides to a surface layer. The aroma is fantastic - a blend of aromatic citrus hops underpinned by sweet malt. Notes of grapefruit with a sharp fruity tang.
Tastes of sweet malt with a hefty dose of aromatic hops and a mild bitter finish. Notes of citrus - tart grapefruit and perhaps lemon - along with a hint of caramel and a whisper of pine in the background. Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with a faintly acidic astringency and nice body. Aftertaste of sweet malt and aromatic hops.
Excellent - a top notch beer. Not a traditional Vienna lager, but a worthy take on the style. The aroma and flavour are great; a perfect blend of sweet malt and fruity hops. The body is also superb - neither too thick nor too thin. I believe this is a limited edition brew, so grab one while you can.

7 Tips for Negotiating Win-Win Telecom Contracts that Don't Cost More than You Bargained
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
It has been a tough year for IT and telecom and the hangover promises to be around a bit longer as we take stock of the drastic reactionary measures we rushed into place to stop the cost hemorrhaging in our enterprises. Unfortunately, sourcing, normally a well-planned strategic activity was used most frequently as a hammer to slash costs in IT and telecom. As you take stock with this new year, you may be facing the reality of these seven unfortunate situations:
- The lowest price was confused with the best deal
- Costs are down, but so are service delivery quality and customer satisfaction
- Your providers have become your adversaries
- Focus on reductions has cut off paths to growth
- You closed the door on new technologies
- Innovation has become a four-letter word
- You had to abandon your vision for the sake of immediate results

crystal clear amber, nice orange hugh for a lager. Two inch white head faded quickly to just that quarter inch layer of film on the top. Very decent lacing for a lager as well was dripping down the sides. I could see some nice visible carbonation streaming up off the bottom of the glass, clarity excellent, overall look, A OK...Smell was lots of bready yeast smells. Lots of grain, kind of a moldy or off earthy aroma, like grass stuck in mud, or bread batter. A slight hint of hoppiness in the back as well. The taste was pretty standard at first, however as it warmed I detected a nice earthy grain mixed with almost a banana tone. A decent dry hoppy finish as wellThe feel was great, light and remarkable smooth. Great carbonation, not slick oily or otherwise detrimental at all. Superb drinkabilty, this is an easy session beer. Has such as nice light profile, yet great taste. Not watered down like some other lagers.

12 oz into a pint
A - Pours a very clear, bright golden color. Light head formation, bright white. Not very bubbly.
S - Very light, nutty/bready pilsner malt nose. No hopping detected, lightly sweet.
T - Starts off lightly sweet, some grainy malt notes. Gets stronger, where finally some pilsner malt graininess starts to show. Light amount of floral noble hops. Finishes lightly bitter, somewhat balanced.
M - Light body, stronger carbonation. Stings the palette. Finishes very clean.
D - Very drinkable. Manageable ABV, lightly filling. Flavors are pretty light, not overwhelming.
Just a rather unremarkable pils. I was hoping for more pilsner malt flavors.

App - slightly hazy, fairly pale gold in color. Pours a nice white head, creamy and with good retention.
Aroma - Some spicy noble hop character, but a bit subdued. Slight hint of malt.
Taste - Not much malt flavor, then a double shot of hop flavor (earthy/spicy), followed by a nice hop bitterness that carries through to the finish. Not exactly a "hopfest", but decent hop character. Not as distinctive as the best German/Czech examples.
MF - Medium body and medium-high carbonation. No astringency or warming.
D'ability - A clean, easy drinking lager. Hop bitterness invites another sip, and the $6/6pack price makes it quite sessionable.

A- Pours a light golden color with an odd slight green hue, loads of carbonation rising up to a very small slightly fizzy cap of head, maybe 1 finger off of pour. Sporadic lacing produce a cobweb effect, not much, but it is there.
S- Pils malt, mild floral hop aroma, slight earthy texture, very subtle.
T- Bitterness up front, essence of grapefruit (tastes like a hop extract may have been used, hints to the green shade also), balance is unusual, some malt up front (with a definite adjunct note, corn?), definitely used some pale, pils malt, little texture from the extras to balance the hops. I am a big hop head, but this beer seems one dimensional. Has some hint of noble varieties, with some yeast notes, mild honey, and tropical fruits try to be present, but don't really come through.
M- Highly carbonated, grassy texture, tingle of bubbles, the bitterness doesn't really linger or stay around, slight butter finish, light body.
D- Drinkability is ok, not exceptional, but it is an alright beer, worth trying especially at the price point, similar to most TJ's beers, they aren't fantastic, but they are brewed pretty much within style, and are very well priced.

It has a decent pilsner taste at first. The flavor is grassy and grain like. It has bitter flavor that is sort of cheap watered down hoppiness. The body was thin as was the head. There was no lace. The aroma was bland. This is a very weak beer. Overall I am not a big fan of this beer.

Clear yellow colored beer with a small white colored head.
Smell is malt and grain with a slight cooked vegetable flavor. Faint soapy and spicy hops detected but not real strong.
Taste starts out semi sweet and bready with a fair yeasty taste. A little bit bitter with a Nobel hop bite, not great but respectable. Herbal bite, this gets cleaner as you drink it.
Mouthfeel is good.
OK drinkability for the price. This isn't world class, this is the kissing cousin of Trader Joe's "Two Buck Chuck" wines.

A - Poured out a clear, yellow color with orange highlights and a white, foamy, one-finger head. It left minimal lace.
S - It smelled of corn and grains. There was also an estery aroma.
T - It tasted of an odd bitterness. There was a strong grain flavor. The sweet corn flavor was muted by the bitterness.
M - It was crisp and sharp with a dry finish. A very light-bodied beer.
D - This simply did not taste very good. The bitterness was not normal (i.e. - from hops).

Poured from 12oz bottle to pint glass.
A: Pours a light orange color with a small head with decent retention and lots of bubbles.
S: Not much going on some hops and malts with a small sour note.
T: Not much better that the taste, not very hoppy but balanced with malts and a very watery taste...
Overall: I guess its fairly drinkable, I just wouldn't want to drink many. Not worth the 79cents to try.

Two things attracted me to this six pack during my last trip to Trader Joe's. The first thing that caught my attention was the name and then the fact that it was on sale for $3.99.
I have been somewhat unimpressed by Trader Joe's beers in the past ( the other few that I've had have been pretty mediocre), but I couldn't resist this one for the price.
Overall I would say this beer is a little bit worse than mediocre. It has a forgettable appearance and the smell is somewhat off-putting. The taste has a some sweet corn malt taste and slight bitterness at the finish, which isn't too bad. Drinkability is pretty high because it's a pretty light easy to drink beer.
If I had spent any real money on this sixer I'd probably be more disappointed, but for $3.99 I feel like I made the right decision picking it up.

12 oz. bottle with a shiny pea green label with a drawing of a massive bronze German Stein. Over the stein in big bold letters is the name of the beer. Also on the front label are vines of hop buds. The shiny pea green back label has lengthy paragraph about the beer, mandatory US information, and a batch number. The batch number is gibberish. It's a bunch of random numbers and letters that don't mean anything to the consumer. At least they tried though.
When poured into a DFH pint glass, this Pilsner was a clear as day pale straw yellow color with a 3/4 of an inch fizzy head of foam. Even though it was fizzy, it had good retention that left behind a skim of fizzy bubbles and one single spot of fizzy lace. As you can tell already, everything about the foam was fizzy.
The aroma was bad! It reminded me of malted horse feed. If you ever go to a county fair, get a whiff of what the farm animals are eating and this is what this beer smells like. Behind the horse feed was a faint whiff of floral hops. At least there was a beer characteristic in the aroma.
This is where you get to taste that malted horse feed that you smelled before this moment. The taste was mostly malted corn and other malted grains. That wasn't the worse part. Not only were they bad malted grains, but they tasted like watered down malted grains. Yuck! Behind the watery grains was a slight taste of Pumpkin pie spices and a quick sting of floral hops. Pumpkin pie spices? Yes, there was one taste the reminded me of pumpkin pie spices for some reason.
This was a watery light bodied Pilsner with no aftertaste whatsoever. That's probably a good thing because the taste was all about cheap malted grains.
I'm sorry, but what a bad beer! It looked ok, but when you smelled and tasted it, it was nothing but bad! It's a good thing I only wasted a $1 on this beer. Drain pour!

Pours a clear, golden yellow. Good 1/2 inch head with decent retention and slight lacing. Smells clean with hop background. There's also a hint of a floral aroma. Fits the style. Tastes of a sweet, nice bodied pilsner with a little bit of floral taste. Very smooth a crisp, easy to drink. Hops are almost indistinguishable, but the floral is the dominate. Tastes more and more like a weak lager as you progress. A little disappointing; it started off so well, but then went quickly downhill.

Poured into a 14oz standard glass. 1 finger of head, minimal lacing. It looks like a standard American lager, or specimen from someone who needs to drink more water. Smells a bit skunky mixed with the scent of "Veg-All" canned vegetable juice base. Taste was not as bitter as I hoped, given the product carries the moniker "Hopfest". It carries a processed taste I have only come across in Cold Spring Brewery products...it now seems it is not exclusive to them. However, it got better as it warmed, which I never expect from a cheap beer. Prickly carbonation punctuates an otherwise light feel. It drinks better than it tastes. If this is a pilsner, I don't know what that stuff I enjoy of the same name is. I will not revisit this experience.

A - Golden grain colored body with a snow white head. The quarter inch of wispy white head fades quickly.
S - Grainy malt aroma found often with a solid pilsner. Images of banana and pumpkin resonate with each whiff.
T - A very nice blend of hops and malt. This is a great tasting German pilsner. Even the bitter after taste is appealing.
M - The texture of a thousand tiny bubbles moving across my tongue. It is a bit too abrasive.
~ This is a session brew if I've ever known one. I think I could put a sixer of these away without a problem.

This is very bland, with sharp but bland bitterness of wet grass and overly cooked vegetables.
Deep gold, it has a medium-large white head slowly shrinking to a thin wispy top and a little lace.
The aroma is meaty with a hint of herb, bread, buttery cooked vegetables, old raisins - rather like a thoroughly mediocre strong Euro lager or pale bock instead of a pilsner. It's ok, but rather muted and not at all a pilsner smell.
The taste is light grain, overly cooked, burnt vegetables, with a sharp, bland, faintly grassy bitterness. It is otherwise exceedingly bland and almost tasteless. However, it's fairly easy to drink since it's not really unpleasant or offensive.

I grabbed a 12 oz bottle of this at a party where I guess I thought I was getting a nice craft brew. I recognized the label, and when someone reminded me this was Trader Joe's, I wasn't surprised. Their product looks decent, and this beer was an effort at making a store brand beer that had some character. I was a bit disappointed, though. I was hoping for a beer with more pronounced hops, but mostly I got bitterness with no depth.
A: Looks fine; a deep yellow, fizzy head.
S: smelled a bit on the skunky side to me, and no hint of floral hop scent.
T: This went down like a bitter pilsener. It's certainly not awful, but not a first choice for a hop lover.
M: This was OK and didn't hurt the experience.
D : I wasn't sure I even wanted to finish it; it got more and more bitter. It's smooth enough, but not flavorful enough for me to seek out or recommend.

12 oz. bottle into a pint glass.
Appearance: Mildly hazy golden color with decent head retention.
Smell: Herbal tea and grain with mild pilsener malts.
Taste: Herbal flavors with some grain and seeming adjuncts, along with some diacetyl and mild hops at the end.
Mouthfeel: Lighter-bodied with a bit too cloying of a feel and some slickness that could use more carbonation to balance it out.
Drinkability: Something seemed amiss here, maybe not amiss as much as, "Where have I had this before?" Seems pretty identical to Trader Joe's Bohemian Lager, which is essentially a Pilsener. Again, not bad, but there are better TJs beers, especially if you're looking for something like an original and non-domestic-tasting Pils.

a: Gives a 1" bone white head in the pilsner glass with a slow recession and nice retention. Decent lacing. The beer is a clean golden in color.
s: Clean pilsner malts, average level of sweetness. Nice, grassy and balanced noble hop aroma. Doughy and bready.
m: Carbonation on the high side of the medium range, and the body light and clean
t: Clean and grainy pilsner malts with a nice, mild sweetness. Pretty good hop/malt balance. A little more doughy than I'd like, and a crisper hop flavor and finish would be nice. Mild bittering builds to moderate. Just a little bland.
d: easy

Got a single 12 oz bottle of this from Trader Joe's not too long ago. Poured into my pint glass. Pours a clear, medium golden color with white head 2 fingers thick when poured. It eventually settles to a nice surface coating with a medium sized ring lining the inside of the glass and pretty decent lace. Lots of little bubbles keep rising up to the top of the beer. Nice grassy hop aroma and not much else here. Tastewise the floral hop bitterness hit my palate upfront followed by a fairly mild grainy malty sweetness. Has a bit of a dry aftertaste. Not very complex, but pretty good. Has a crisp, frothy mouthfeel with a light to medium body with moderate carbonation. Very easy to drink in a good way. This beer did not blow me away, but it is a good, solid brew and good representation of this style.

Color is amber straw-like with a modest white head. Aroma is very crisp, lightly flowery with soft bready malt. Not intense at all but delicately nice. Taste is alike. Prickly bitterness is certainly apparent and in both smell and taste there's a good brisk hop character. Solid texture and easy consumable.
I enjoy this pils. It does a good job german style.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse and Congressman David Cicilline announced the introduction of the Offshoring Prevention Act.
The legislation aims to eliminate special tax breaks for companies that ship jobs overseas. It would eliminate federal tax breaks for U.S. companies that manufacture goods abroad for sale in the U.S.
"I have heard from too many Rhode Island small businesses that are fed up with unfair competition from abroad," said Whitehouse, who first introduced the Offshoring Prevention Act in 2011. "By giving special tax deals to companies that ship jobs overseas, we put local small businesses at a disadvantage. Ending this costly tax giveaway will help keep jobs in America and generate nearly $20 billion in new revenue – a true win-win."
Cicilline made the announcement at Tanury Industries in Lincoln on Monday morning. Tanury Industries is a local manufacturer with service operations exclusively in the United States. They have over 1,000 U.S. based employees.
"As we work to get our economy back on the right track, it is critical that we level the playing field so American small business owners can compete successfully in the global marketplace," said Cicilline. "There is no reason that our tax policies should actually reward companies for shipping jobs overseas, and I am looking forward to working with Senator Whitehouse to pass the Offshoring Prevention Act."
Cicilline and Whitehouse first proposed the same bill in June of 2011 but it never made it past committee.

Flameless Candles Rock
May 11, 2010 at 4:06 pm , by cdewet
Okay, so I know this isn't the newest tip in town, but I'm glowing with excitement over my new flameless candles. I had heard of the battery operated tea lights (fabulous for parties and romantic dinners by the way) but didn't realize that you could pick these flameless phenoms up in just about every shape and size. D'oh! I do love real candles, but these fabulous fakes will help you avoid blackened Hurricane glass (not cute) and potential hair-on-fire Michael Jackson moments (true story involving a sconce and a tall person). Pottery Barn's wax versions, pictured above, feature a five-hour timer function and a realistic amber flicker to mimic the light of a real candle. Check out Target.com for scented options.
