Served on-tap at Al's of Hampden.
A - Pours pitch black with a nice one finger tan head leaving small trails of lace down parts of the glass. Nothing overly amazing looking, just the typical stout really.
S - Smells of warm bourbon, chocolate, coffee, vanilla and a bit of booze. The regular version is all coffee and that is still present but the bourbon really helps to round it all out.
T - Starts off with a beautiful mix of chocolate and coffee quickly giving way to the smooth, warm bourbon and some light vanilla sweetness. Some residual sweetness and a bit of drying tannins round things out, lingering on the palate for quite awhile after the finish.
M - Heavy body with moderate carbonation. Smooth, warm feel is remarkably easy to drink. The added feel compared to the porter really seems to help this one out.
O - I absolutely love the regular little amps version but this is on a whole other level. The pappy barrel really helps to smooth it all out and add that nice mellow bourbon note to the equation. Outstanding beer, tastes remarkably similar to KBS. My only knock it that it is a touch hot, if it was bottled I would age it for six months and it would be prefect.

Enjoyed at Pizza Boy several times during a couple of it's sporatic and unannounced appearances. SSU is currently (and possibly of all time) my favorite coffee stout. So the idea of putting it into my favorite spirit barrel seems too good to be true.
Draft offering at the source served in a snifter. It appears black with a tan head that holds surprisingly well for it's alcohol level. Some spotty lace sticks to the glass and holds in a thin film. When swirled, patchy lace paints the glass.
The smell includes notes of bourbon primarily with an oaked backing. Some caramel, vanilla, toffee-like sugar aspect gets pulled from the barrels during aging adding another layering to this already complex beer. The coffee addition is bright and enjoyable with roasted notes and that all familiar spicy aspect of raw woodiness.
The taste includes plenty of bourbon with caramel sapped from the wood during aging. Lots of roast not only from the grain but also the coffee. A bit of a char feel that blends into vanilla-like sweetness also extracted from the barrel. The coffee is integrated well and perhaps a little more dominating in the flavor profile than what it does in the nose. That barrel presence is quite profound with a spicy almost cinnamon inclusion that I have noticed is present in other PVW barrel aged offerings.
This is a medium to fuller bodied brew with ample carbonation. I went into this expecting a grand slam and its only a home run. (Does that make any sense?) Fantastic stuff with perfect melding of character. Whereas the normal sunny side up is effortlessly drinkable, this one is a bit more angry/bold and a sipper. I dont know what you can possibly do to this to make it better but despite the rarity and draw it has, I didnt find it to be that drastcally superior to the base like I had hoped it would be. Plain and simple, you need to soak this up if you ever are presented the opportunity.

On tap. Served in a Pizza Boy snifter.
I'm not sure I can find any faults with this beer. It was a rich, smooth, chocolate bourbon bomb. The alcohol is extremely well hidden and the taste was just fantastic. I'm not a big fan of reviewing beers. More the guy who either drinks a beer and likes it - drinks more or doesn't like it - doesn't drink more. However for the sake of adding this beer I'm giving you my 2-cents worth of opinion.
Appearance - Jet Black.
Smell - Bitter coffee. Bourbon.
Taste - Bitter coffee. Bourbon.
Mouthfeel - Smooth. Creamy.
Overall - The bourbon from the Pappy barrel pairs perfectly with the SSU. The coffee taste is still very present and somewhat over powers the beer (for me). Either way, when you take an outstanding base beer, add locally roasted coffee and blend them with a Pappy barrel, you can't go wrong. Another winner from Terry and Pizza Boy Brewing.

I'm not sure why the weather's not been "supportive" of the Friends these past few years (or is it just atmospheric conditions?), since the Friends have been so supportive of the library. This year alone the Friends have provided $78,000 in support of library programs and materials, in particular the hugely-popular "Our Wonderful World" outdoor adventure series this past summer - and previous summers also. The Friends are also supporting our Buck $tarts Here small business and jobseeker program, the annual Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon, audiobook purchases, and our new eBook cloud library of downloadable titles. This past summer's book sale brought in $28,000 in sales, and $1,300 in new memberships, all to further support the library. is one great bunch of Friends.
This year's featured speaker is Estes Park resident Kent Keller. A retired Presbyterian pastor, Kent has been an avid hiker and mountain climber, exploring the mountains of Colorado since 1950. In 2009, at the age of 72, he completed ascents of all 54 Colorado "14ers." He's also climbed in California, Wyoming, Washington, Canada, Mexico, the Swiss and Austrian Alps, the Andes and the Himalayas in Nepal. This summer he was one of the presenters in the Our Wonderful World series. Here's what one attendee said of Kent's presentation, "Kent was great at personalizing the areas, the experiences, and the hikes. It was excellent." Kent's presentation at the Friends potluck will be all new. His talk and accompanying slideshow, "Special Places in Rocky: Near and Far, Familiar and Unknown," is sure to be highly entertaining as well as educational.
The potluck is free and open to the public. The Friends request that you bring a dish to share, and plates and tableware for your own use. This fun event occurs this upcoming Tuesday, Oct. 30 in the YMCA's Walnut Room. The potluck is at 6 p.m., the program at 7 p.m. after a short business meeting. Plus, the Friends will provide beverages and a door prize, a $25 gift certificate to the Friends Holiday Book Sale in December.
The annual potluck is such a great way for book fans and library lovers to gather and share. Speaking of sharing, that big bowl of Oreos on the dessert table is mine. Help yourself. See you there.

A former Lassiter High School teenager injured in a car accident threw out the first pitch at a baseball game on Tuesday.Last summer, Christopher Heitzman and two friends were involved in a car wreck on Trickum Road in Marietta. The driver, Ryan Achenbach was killed. The third teen was not hurt. Christopher spent months in the hospital and at Shepherd Center. He only recently came home to finish his therapy."The biggest issues that we have right now with the brain injury is just reprogramming himself and rewiring the nerves to function correctly," said Randy Heitzman, Christopher's father. "It's pretty hard some days to see him struggle and eat -- it's just sad," Davis Heitzman, Christopher's brother. "But I'm just glad that I'm able to have him and to see him improve and become my brother again."Randy Heitzman said that throwing out the opening pitch at Tuesday's game was a sign of how much the former Lassiter High baseball player has progressed."A few months ago he wasn't able to even hardly get out of bed and just for him to be here and just to have a ball in his hand is amazing," Randy Heitzman said. The players on the Lassiter High team have Chris' number, 17, embroidered on their hats. Christopher played four years on the team."It warms our heart to everyone here with number 17 on," said Christopher's mother.His father says, when Christopher watches the other players on the field, he knows his son wants to be out there with them. "That's where he wants to be. That's for sure. And I think that's why he pushes himself to work hard and do the best he can," said his father. In the last several months, friends and neighbors have held numerous fundraisers to help Christopher get the specialized care that he needs.

By Mike LaBella
---- — Members of the Team Haverhill civic group were beaming when native son Tom Bergeron was a guest on the popular television talk show "The View.''
It came as a surprise to everyone from the group involved in the creation of the Essex Street Gateway Mural when Bergeron talked about the project. The mural features images of Bergeron and other well-known people from Haverhill's past and present — authors, sports figures, merchants and educators. Team Haverhill had the mural painted at one of the entrances to downtown to highlight the city's celebrities and history.
Joy Behar, co-host of "The View,'' asked Bergeron if he'd seen the mural in his home town of "Haver-ville, Massachusetts," to which Bergeron jokingly replied, "not Haver-ville, Haver-hill."
Suddenly, an image of the 3,000-square-foot-mural on the exterior wall of a historic downtown Haverhill building appeared on a screen behind Bergeron and the show's hosts.
"If you look really, really hard, I'm in the television screen... there I am, right in there," Bergeron said as a television camera zoomed in on a section of the mural featuring his image. "That's me. I've been immortalized in wall paint."
Leota Sarette, a member of Team Haverhill who co-chaired the mural committee along with Team Haverhill member Tom Jordan, said she was at work Friday and happened to be walking into the break room, where a television was showing "The View.'' It was at the precise time Bergeron was talking about the mural.
Sarette said the mural was seen by "The View's'' national audience because of Bergeron, who played an important role in this community art project.
"He not only allowed the use of his image, but he provided Team Haverhill with tickets to 'Dancing with the Stars,' which were auctioned off to raise money for the mural," Sarette said. "He continues to support the project by showing it on 'The View.'"
Bergeron, a Haverhill native, is an award-winning TV host, most recently grabbing national attention for his work hosting "Dancing with the Stars.''
After Bergeron appeared on "The View,'' Sarette started getting phone calls, Facebook messages, email, texts and even tweets about it.
"For Tom Bergeron to place that on 'The View' and for them to allow it, I consider that significant as he could have talked about a million other things," Sarette said. "'The View' Is a very popular show and because Tom Bergeron was on it, I think a lot of people watched it."
In June of last year, Team Haverhill unveiled the Essex Street Gateway Community Mural, the largest scale public art project ever in the city.
The mural, named "Hues of the Heart'' after the John Greenleaf Whittier poem, was created on the wall of a historic building at 25 Essex St., close to where movie mogul Louis B. Mayer launched his career by opening his first movie theater, the Orpheum, in 1907. Mayer's theater served as inspiration for the design, which paints a picture of Haverhill from its founding in 1649 through its days of shoe manufacturing, when it was known as "Queen Slipper City." The mural was designed by the Meg Saligman Studios of Philadelphia and consists of 50 3-by-4-foot panels, about 15 of which were painted by community volunteers using a paint-by-numbers system.
At the center of the mural is a movie theater with an audience of characters from the city's past and present, including Bob Montana, creator of Archie comics; professional baseball player Mike Ryan from the Red Sox 1967 Impossible Dream team; musician and filmmaker Rob Zombie; Hamel Leather company founder Louis Hamel; and authors Andre Dubus II and Andre Dubus III, a father and his son known for their fiction writing.
There's Dr. Frank Lahey, who went on to found the Lahey Clinic; noted international shoe designer Stuart Weitzman, who learned to design shoes in the 1960s when he worked at Seymour Shoes, a factory at 151 Essex St. that his father owned; and many others who earned a place in Haverhill's history. Framing Mayer's theater scene are characters from the city's past and present, including: Cora Chase, a famous opera singer; Barney Gallagher, long-time reporter and photographer for The Eagle-Tribune and The Haverhill Gazette, as the projectionist; TV celebrity Bergeron and others.
Team Haverhill President Alice Mann said she was not completely surprised about the mural gaining this level of attention.
"The work of Saligman studios has a national reputation and their work is included in many books about public art," Mann said. "But I was surprised to see it on national television. I was touched that Tom Bergeron was pleased to be in the mural and was excited enough to bring it to the attention of 'The View.'''
You can see the Feb. 1 episode of "The View'' on ABC.com or on YouTube by searching for "Tom Bergeron The View."

If you prefer winters grey and mild, Environment Canada has some good news coming our way.
Compared to the rest of Canada and parts of the U.S., winter has been a gentle ride in the B.C. Interior so far, and that's forecast to continue.
In short, expect more valley fog.
"Anecdotally, we think it has been a little bit worse than it has been in years past," said Fred Legace, airport manager.
His colleague in Fort St. John, by comparison, had not a single snow-free day in December.
"They've had a tough winter," Legace said. "We've had a tough winter on the other end of the extreme with fog forming."
The prevailing weather is caused by warm Pacific air flowing into the snow-covered Interior, forming fog that is trapped by thermal inversions. Cloud cover becomes stratified, so the inversion ceiling can be as high as 500 metres.
It may have seemed as though every day in December was foggy and relatively warm, but conditions weren't too far off the norm, said meteorologist Doug Lundquist.
"We usually do have that inversion in the southern Interior, but it was just so persistent," he said.
Temperature-wise, the average in December was -4.4 C, about a degree cooler than the average. Aside from a cold spell at the beginning of the month, conditions were generally mild with intermittent snowfall and freezing rain.
That was due to a high-pressure ridge hanging over the province for much of the month of December, creating what's sometimes called a "strata stack."
Low-lying valley cloud tended to trap cooler air in the Kamloops area, while Kelowna was sunnier than usual, Lundquist said. That may have resulted from the fact that there is less snow cover in the Okanagan, so the ground absorbs more solar radiation instead of reflecting it, he speculated.
"What did stand out for me was that the central Interior was warmer on average than the southern Interior, which was colder than average," Lundquist said.
Despite abundant fog, Kamloops Airport remained fully operational except for one day when flights had to be cancelled. Pilots can navigate by instruments through storms, but can't navigate through fog concealing runway lights.
And if it wasn't fog, it was freezing rain.
"We've had our share of issues, trying to keep runways and taxi-ways free of ice. It has been a challenge. We think it's a bit unusual."
Last year, the airport spent $80,000 on new de-icing equipment, which has paid off by reducing the treatment time from 12-15 hours to just 20-40 minutes. The de-icing chemicals in use now reduce corrosion of aluminum aircraft parts.
A westerly Pacific flow is forecast to dominate in the coming week, so even though a slight drop in temperatures is expected — a low of -7 C in Kamloops by Monday — it won't come even close to the deep freeze back East.
"We may even see it become warmer by the end of next week. There's not much winter coming," he said.
Those who prefer real Canadian winter weather will find pockets at higher elevations.

Born in Ferrara, Michele de Lucchi studied in Padua and in Florence, Italy, where he graduated in architecture in 1975. After completing his studies architecture, his friendship with Ettore Sottsass and Alessandro Mendini took him to Milan at the end of the Seventies, where he became one of the main activists in the provocative designer group Memphis. His approach to the creation of new styles in design helped to play an important role in the Memphis movement, but by the late 1980's, de Lucchi had moved on to more traditional designs. After working with Artemide to develop some of their lasting bestsellers, de Lucchi created his Produzione Privata label, which creates small series of his designs featuring exquisite craftsmanship.See other lights/products from Michele de Lucchi
Produzione Privata
After the criticisms and confirmations, the exaltation of design and the conclusion of Memphis, Michele De Lucchi founded Produzione Privata, taking up the urge for change that was in the air at the turn of the 90's.
Aware of the gap that had been created between design and production, he set out to rediscover the role of the architect as an intellectual who conceives and fulfills his projects with a more responsible approach to the quality and beauty of things.
What had started as a small-scale craft-oriented production of experimental projects traced by his pencil very soon proved to be an opportunity to make objects using technologies on the margins of industrial production, but treated within the logic of series.

Neon Roberts making 'good progress' after treatment
Seven-year-old Neon Roberts is making "good progress" following his treatment, his father has said.
Late last year, Neon's mother Sally, failed in a legal bid to stop her son having radiotherapy for a brain tumour.
The High Court ruled that Neon should undergo radiotherapy for the cancerous tumour against her wishes.
Neon's father Ben - who is separated from Ms Roberts - said his son had completed the course of radiotherapy as planned.

Body found at collapsed building
11:00am Saturday 4th January 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The body of an elderly woman has been discovered at a building which partially collapsed following a fire.
At 1.17am on Saturday, Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service was called to a house in Green Lane, Woodstock.
Four fire engines attended the blaze which caused part of the building to collapse.
Firefighters and police were searching the site as it was believed there was a person inside and the body of a woman, aged in her 70s, was later discovered at the property.
A Thames Valley Police spokesman said: " The woman's next-of-kin has been informed.
"Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service and Thames Valley Police are jointly working to establish a cause of the fire however early indications suggest the fire is not believed to be suspicious."

For 45 minutes, the match was all New York Red Bulls. They went up a goal and looked like they were going to score several times more, but the second 45 minutes were a whole other story. Sporting Kansas City pushed the Red Bulls and challenged the home side, but KC couldn't find an equalizer and New York grabbed a 1-0 victory. With the win, the Red Bulls move back on top of the Eastern Conference, while the loss leaves Kansas City all alone in the cellar.
The Red Bulls had their chance to go on top early when Dwayne De Rosario drew a penalty, but Rafa Marquez's spot kick was slow and not near the corner, allowing Jimmy Nielsen to make an easy save. Nielsen didn't have that opportunity when the Red Bulls finally got on the scoreboard. A quick restart by Marquez was flicked on by Henry to De Rosario, who crossed to a streaking Rodgers. Rodgers finished with the first touch past a helpless Nielsen as the Sporting defenders appealed off an offside call on Rodgers. Replays showed the play to be very close and inconclusive, but the replays were insignificant anyways because the linesman's flag did not go up and the goal stood.
New York continued to push, but couldn't find a second goal and went into halftime with their 1-0 lead. The second half was a different story though. Kansas City did not dominate the second half the way New York dominated the first, but they pushed and pressured the Red Bulls' back line. Chances went wide and high though with Bouna Coundoul making saves on the couple chances that found the frame as the Red Bulls hung on for the three points.

PATCHOGUE, N.Y. (AP) - A Long Island police officer was injured when his vehicle was rear-ended by a drunk driver.
It happened in Patchogue while Suffolk County police were conducting a follow-up investigation Sunday at the scene of a fatal car crash a day earlier.
Officer Brian Smales placed his car, with emergency lights on, on the right shoulder of the Sunrise Highway outside the lane of traffic. Shortly afterward, a 2012 Chrysler struck the rear of his cruiser.
Police say Salvatore Distefano, was arrested at the scene and charged with DWI, assault and violating the state's "Move Over Law." He was later treated at a hospital for facial lacerations and released. Information about his lawyer wasn't immediately available.
Smales was treated at a hospital for head, neck, back and leg injuries and released.

The Jews in the Land of Promise and in the Promised Land
10/25/2012 22:45
Savir's Corner: President Shimon Peres once said that the whole issue of "Who is a Jew" should not only center on what our parents were, but even more so on if our children will remain Jewish.
President Shimon Peres in holiday greeting

"Brothers and sisters, these are again difficult times for us in the Jewish community – we face difficult challenges of dangerous assimilation amongst our young, of suffering of our elderly, of anti-Semitic outbursts all over America, of an unprecedented delegitimization of our beloved State of Israel, of 22 dangerous Arab countries threatening the one small Jewish state with fanatic Islamic fundamentalism. And we say 'Never again!' (standing ovation).
"There is only one weapon we have to withstand these onslaughts: Jewish unity! I therefore call on all of you to donate to the new UJA Unity Fund. Long live the great United States of America, long live our beloved State of Israel, and long live our guest of honor, the one and only Moshe Knetzweiler, who launched with his generosity the UJA Unity Fund."
A standing ovation once again and then hefty portions of boiled chicken, endless photo opportunities and effective fund-raising for dessert.
That same night, on the other end of Manhattan, a group of liberal intellectuals get together near New York University to discuss civil rights in America.
They are gathered in an old Bleecker Street loft, most of them in their 30s, seated on comfortable sofas, sipping white wine and listening to a young Reform rabbi from a synagogue on the Upper West Side, Shula Middel: "New York has become intolerant. I have Jewish neighbors who are terrified when they see young African-Americans on 'their' street, not to speak of going to Harlem.
"In Brooklyn the other day, there were violent clashes between Yeshiva boys and African-Americans playing basketball – some kind of war over turf. The rabbis and the black leaders came out with terrifying statements. Have we forgotten that in the civil rights movement blacks and Jews marched together? Today I hear racist talk, also in our midst. Have we lost our moral heritage? We have to rescue our Jewish heritage and moral code."
Polite applause. Those present decided to create a dialogue group, between young Jewish and African-American students at NYU.
The American Jewish community, though big (6.5 million strong) and powerful politically and economically, is struggling to preserve in different ways its Jewish identity.
I became acquainted with this impressive Jewish community during my tenure as Israeli consul-general in New York in the early '90s – an experience that contributed to my own Jewish identity.
In Israel, there are myths and misperceptions about American Jews. Most of us believe that Israel is the centerpiece of Jewish American life, that the choice is between strong national identification with Israel or assimilation into the gentile world, that American Jews are nationalistic in their outlook about Israel and support hawkish positions on peace in the Middle East. The reality, based on studies and research, is much more complex.
Most Jews in the Land of Promise want themselves and their children to remain Jewish, despite a 50-percent intermarriage rate. In their view, education and communal life are key to this (half of intermarried couples give their children Jewish education).
Communal life – the Jewish Community Center – is central as many educational, recreational, religious and organizational activities are created around it. There is also a vibrant Jewish cultural life, from Broadway to Hollywood, from East Coast intellectuals and writers to West Coast film producers.
It's a culture that blends with the general American culture, often in very prominent ways – from Arthur Miller to Steven Spielberg.
Jews generally enjoy – in contrast with the myth of rampant anti-Semitism in America – tolerance from other parts of the American mosaic. In December every store and TV station wishes the public both Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukka. Many Jews are themselves living the American dream. This is not to say that Israel – as the one Jewish state – is not important to most American Jews. It is important, but less central than we are asked to believe.
Their Jewishness is more defined by America than by Israel, otherwise they would move here.
Jews in America are to a large degree liberals, probably the most liberal-leaning religious group.
They had a prominent role in the civil rights movement in the '60s and thereafter in the American feminist movement. This is not surprising for an immigrant population, of which more than 60% enjoy a college education and 45% report an annual income of over $100,000. The largest Jewish presence is in New York and California, 38% of American Jews are Reform, 33% are Conservative and 22% Orthodox. Reform rabbis – men and women – perform, as a matter of routine, same-sex marriage.
Jews therefore traditionally vote in very high numbers for the Democratic Party, with Bill Clinton and Barack Obama receiving up to 80% of the Jewish vote and Obama also highly favored by Jews in the upcoming elections. They traditionally hold moderate positions on Middle East peace, with a vast majority supporting a two-state solution. They have a strong bond with Israel, as the one Jewish state, but when it comes to American elections, Israel-related policies are only the fourth-most important consideration for choosing the next president, after domestic issues.
Yet they support Israel, donate to it, visit it (although over 50% have not) and some also invest in it. American Jews are very interested in a good relationship between Washington and Jerusalem – the opposite, they fear, as when Jonathan Pollard was arrested, could bring their "double loyalty" into question.
The false mythology of Israelis about American Jews being more Orthodox, conservative and nationalistic on Israel than they really are, stems from us looking more at the expressions of institutional US Jewish life vis-à-vis Israel, than at Jewish life itself.
Israelis believe that AIPAC or the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations is what American Jewry is all about. These organizations, which have historically rendered great service to Israel, are by and large more Orthodox, conservative and hawkish than the Jewish community they claim to represent.
While most American Jews have views on Israel and peace in the Middle East that reflect the Clinton and Obama visions, AIPAC does not – when it comes to a two-state solution, settlements and Jerusalem. In the Conference of Presidents there is an over-representation of Orthodox and right-leaning organizations and individuals.
American Jews also have deep misconceptions about Israel. They see it as a much more needy society than we really are, a function of the constant fund-raising efforts for impoverished Israeli townships, neighborhoods and the educational system.
The constant Israeli "shnor" has not exactly created a sense of an economically self-reliant society.
American Jews generally see our very existence as more threatened than it really is, result of a constant
(public diplomacy) campaign about the existential threat that the Muslim world poses to us, often using Holocaust-related perceptions.
American Jews are distancing themselves from Israel culturally, with Israel becoming more of a Sephardi society and more integrated in the Middle East. They also see us as more hawkish than we are, due to the long supremacy of the Likud, while Israeli public opinion, although still supporting the Likud, has moved more to the Center on the issues of territory and a two-state solution, which have become virtually consensus among us.
This clash of misperceptions between the two most-important Jewish countries in the world is detrimental to a vital relationship for both sides. As the sovereign State of Israel, I believe it is up to us to restore this relationship within the Jewish family – to transform it into a relationship more between people than between leaderships, in the following ways: • First and foremost, there needs to be an understanding that the relationship between Israel and the American Jewry is vital to both sides in preserving our Jewishness, values and well-being.
• There needs to be greater learning about each other. Israeli youth hardly know anything about American Jews and see in them a wealthy overseas "uncle." The Israeli government sees American Jews in a purely utilitarian manner, in terms of potential clout and donations. Both need to learn what the American community is really all about through an ongoing dialogue and, for the youth, through the education systems.
• American Jews, especially the young, should visit Israel more frequently and for longer periods.
• American Jews should internalize that Israel is central to Jewish life, as a world without Israel would be very different for them.
• An important part of remaining close is language. Israel and the Jewish Agency should dispatch many more Hebrew teachers to American Jewish day schools and Sunday schools. Speaking Hebrew will contribute to the Jewish identity of the community and to its ties with Israel.
• Israel should attract more Jewish American investment into the Israeli economy, mainly in the hi-tech area. The constant emphasis on donations makes us look poor and needy, and hardly a center of Jewish life.
• Israel should encourage open debate about Israel and the situation in the Middle East. Israel's traditional paternalistic attitude of "you don't live here, you don't have the right to express your views" paralyzes all interest in what is going on here.
• In general the more attractive a country we are in terms of our achievements, values and place among the nations, the more attractive we will be to American Jews.
This relationship highlights the importance of preserving Jewishness in the 21st century. President Shimon Peres once said that the whole issue of "Who is a Jew" should not only center on what our parents were, but even more so on if our children will remain Jewish.
For American Jews it is a matter of education and of the relationship to Israel. For us it is our ability to exist as a Jewish and democratic state, and not as a binational state. And for both it is about an open, value-based relationship between the Jews in the Promised Land and the Jews in the Land of Promise.
The writer is president of the Peres Center for Peace and served as Israel's chief negotiator for the Oslo Accords.

A Small Favor?
Hi guys--I hope you don't mind me asking, but I could sure use a teensy bit of help! I've written a prologue for my current Middle Grade novel, and I need to know what the reader understands from it.
I don't want to say more than that, and I'm sorry to be cryptic, but I would hugely appreciate a few people who would be willing to give it a read (it's a single scene, just over 800 words) and tell me their impression. I need to know if it's confusing or not. So, just a reader's first impression, that's it!
If you have a few minutes to take a quick read today or tonight, just mail me and I'll fire it off to you. If you don't have time, no worries. I know we're all busy and not everyone can do such a quick, last minute request.
Thanks so much!
EDITED TO ADD: Holy Bananas! In the time it took me to rustle up some food for the kiddies, a ton of emails came in. So THANK YOU ALL, and I'll email everyone ASAP.
I should have enough feedback now, so I'll CLOSE this request for feedback. Thanks to everyone who responded. You guys are great!

Buccellati's signature diamond, yellow and white gold bands with feminine lacy cut-out patterns were not designed to be engagement rings, but I know plenty of girls who wear them on the third finger of their left hand. And I know lots of single ladies who dream of doing so. Beth Bernstein author of My Charmed Life: Rocky Romances, Precious Family Connections and Searching for a Band of Gold devotes a whole chapter in her delightful memoir to a Buccellati band. Without spoiling the adventure, she does end up with the jewel and a happy ending as unique as the ring itself.

HTML Email - Removing Hotmail grey image placeholders
Hi all,
Is there anyway of removing the http://gfx2.hotmail.com/mail/w4/pr04/ltr/i_safe.gif image paceholder that hotmail uses when asking you whether or not to display the images used in the email?

I believe that it's an image replacement already styled by Hotmail, so I doubt there would be a way of doing that. I could be wrong though.
One way of avoiding this is giving a link to a live HTML version of that email which the user could view in their browser if it isn't displayed properly (most newsletters I receive by large companies use this). I'd also recommend a text-based email for those who aren't willing to allow the images.
Ultimately you leave the choice to the reader - either they choose to display it correctly, or they see the page displayed incorrectly.Jake Arkinstall

Souray is NOT coming to NY
Souray is NOT coming to NYAccording to TSN: It looks like Wade Redden won't be the only high priced former NHL defenceman in the American Hockey League this season. The Edmonton Oilers sent Sheldon Souray to the AHL on Wednesday, but in a twist, the club didn't send him to their own affiliate team. The club sent Souray to the Hershey Bears, which is the AHL affilate of the Washington Capitals on a loan, as opposed to Oklahoma City Barons which is the Oilers farm team. Having assigned Souray to the AHL, the Oilers cannot trade or play Souray until he passes through re-entry waivers. Any team could claim him, splitting the remaining two years of Souray's contract ($4.5 million per year) and cap hit ($5.4 million per) with Edmonton. The 34-year-old is still awaiting a trade after things went sour between him and the organization. Souray wasn't invited to training camp and has been working out on his own while the Oilers try to find somewhere else for him to play. "The decision has been coming for some time," Oilers general manager Steve Tambellini said. "I don't want to get back to this mode, but was an ask that had been there from the player for a long time, close to a year and a half. He wanted to leave, and I understand that, and we've done our best to find something that works for now." "Obviously Sheldon wants to play in the National Hockey League and I'm sure he'll get back there." According to TSN Hockey Insider Bob McKenzie, the Oilers and Capitals have not discussed one word about Souray becoming a Capital. They just supplied a soft landing place for Souray because Hershey is one of the bigger teams in AHL. McKenzie also states that Souray's arrival has more to do with Hershey's master plan than Washingtons.

Police appeal for witnesses after thousands of pounds stolen from racegoers staying at Chipping Campden hotel
Updated 4:29pm Wednesday 12th March 2014 in News
POLICE are appealing for information after hotel rooms at a Chipping Campden hotel were broken into and money was stolen.
The break-ins happened at the Noel Rams Hotel on High Street in Chipping Campden between 7.15pm and 8pm on Tuesday, March 11.
Offenders entered three rooms occupied by elderly gentlemen who were in the area attending Cheltenham Races and once inside took several thousand pounds worth of cash.
Kim Mowday, harm reduction officer, said: "Being the victim of a theft from an empty hotel room is a miserable experience and can ruin what should be a pleasurable and relaxing time.
"If you do have a large amount of cash on you then we recommend that you use the hotel's safe facilities.
"Be aware that, sadly, at this time of year some people will be on the look-out for people with cash on display. If you must carry it around keep it well hidden. Don't flash the cash."
Anyone who may have information on this incident is asked to contact Gloucestershire Police on 101, quoting incident number 386 of March 11.

Anyway, where to begin: St Petersburg is a beautiful city. The Hermitage, The Winter and Summer palaces are just amazing. The boat - Viking Helgi - was very comfortable. Meals were great (but I did pass on the reindeer meat) and the onboard lectures were very informative.
Every stop along the way had its own story. We especially liked Uglich, a town I'd never hear of. It's a trip I wouldn't mind taking again, it was that good. Thanks, Viking, for a terrific experience!

@FGCU_MBB A-Sun Showdown with Stetson to be Televised on Comcast Sports Southeast
In-State clash is A-Sun/CSS Friday Night Game of the Week
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Separated by just a game in the standings, Friday night's critical Atlantic Sun showdown between FGCU (13-8, 5-3 A-Sun) and Stetson (9-10, 6-2 A-Sun) at Alico Arena can be seen live on Comcast Sports Southeast (CSS) beginning at 7 p.m.
The game is the A-Sun/CSS Friday Night Game of the Week, continuing the partnership between the A-Sun and Comcast Sports Southeast for the 11th straight year. The game will also be aired on Cox Sports Television (CST), ESPN3.com & ESPN Full Court outside the CSS footprint. CSS can be found on channel 70 for Comcast subscribers in Southwest Florida. To find out if CSS is available in your area, visit www.CSSSPORTS.com.
Matt Stewart (P-B-P) and Sonny Smith (Analyst) will have the call for the first of two meetings between the two schools this season. The duo called both games in 2011-12 in which the teams split the season series, winning on each other's home court and combining to average 171.5 points per game with neither team being held below 80 points. The Feb. 22 meeting in DeLand, Fla. will also be aired on CSS.
Fans can also track the game on twitter by following @FGCU_MBB and by using the hashtag #StetsonvsFGCU and #ASunMBB.
FGCU's four-game win streak against Stetson was snapped late last season when the Hatters evened the all-time series at 5-5 with an 86-80 victory on Feb. 17 at Alico Arena. The road team has won three of the last four meetings, while nine of the 10 games between the two clubs have been decided by 10 points or less. At Alico Arena, FGCU is 3-2 all-time against Stetson. Now-sophomore Brett Comer (Winter Park, Fla./Winter Park HS) averaged 17.5 points, 8.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds in the two meetings last year, while Stetson's Adam Pegg posted averages of 23.5 points and 7.5 rebounds.
Friday night's game showcases the top two scoring teams in the Atlantic Sun, as FGCU's 72.1 points per night lead the way followed by Stetson's 71.2. The two teams have a combined six players - three each - in the A-Sun's top 20 scoring leaders, including five in the top 10. The Eagles have scored 70+ points in seven straight games and 11 of the last 12, while the Hatters are tied for the league lead with four games of 80+ points. Stetson leads the A-Sun and is 40th in the nation with a .467 field goal percentage, while FGCU is right behind at .460, good for 55th nationally.
The telecast will also showcase the A-Sun Scholar-Athletes of the Game, which will be FGCU men's soccer senior Deion Jones (Tampa, Fla./Freedom HS) and Stetson men's basketball senior J.R. Weston. FGCU women's golf junior Megan Van Etten (Trinity, Fla./J.W. Mitchell HS) will be the Student-Athlete Advisory Council (SAAC) spotlight.

It looks as though former 6th round draft pick Mark Stone will make his NHL debut tonight for the Ottawa Senators in their first round playoff matchup with the New York Rangers.
The NHL also announced a one-game suspension to Matt Carkner for jumping Brian Boyle, an unwilling combatant during an altercation on Saturday night.

Heavyweight Roy Nelson (19-7) continued his run of KO victories with a first round overhand right to the head of Cheick Kongo (18-8-2) at UFC 159. Nelson improved to 6-3 since coming to the UFC via the TUF 10 house. Kongo dropped to 11-6-1 as a UFC fighter.
Nelson surprised viewers with an immediate takedown attempt. It was unsuccessful, but he did some solid work controlling Kongo against the cage. The fighters were separated and Roy landed his infamous overhand right and it sent Kongo to the mat. Cheick tried to dive in for a single-leg attempt, but another shot from Nelson's right hand put him out.
What was the high point of the fight?
Even as a self-proclaimed Big Country hater, I can still appreciate how devastating his right hand has become. When he landed it on Kongo, the Frenchman immediately dropped to the ground and everyone knew the fight was over.
Where do they go from here?
Even in the Heavyweight division, having all of his victories come by first round knockout is quite the accomplishment for Nelson. As is having never been finished inside the Octagon. With the KO over Kongo he's earned another fight against a top fighter in the division and it looks like he'll get it. All the talk following the fight has been about him facing Daniel Cormier next.
Kongo has long been the gatekeeper to the top of the division. If he had any title aspirations, this definitely killed them. However, despite being 1-2 in his last three, he'll drop back down the ladder and pick up some wins against the lower tier of the division.
Watch it now, later, or never?
It's a short fight with capped with a highlight reel knockout. Go watch it.

Just getting acquainted with OSM (OpenStreetMap), so this might be a total newbie question, but I'm looking for OSM Point of Interest data of all metro-stations in Paris.
I'm sure this info should be available, as maps I've seen of Paris using OSM-data (e.g.: mapbox.com default maps) display these metro-stations, but I'm not sure where to look.
Any pointers for downloading this data highly appreciated.
EDIT for future ref, based on answers below and some digging myself
using Overpass API seems to be the most user-friendly IMHO, when you get the hang of the query language that is.
E.g: Below returns the actual routing (subway-lines) plus the referenced subway stations in nice json-format.

The MLS Cup Playoffs conference semifinal tie between the Los Angeles Galaxy and New York Red Bulls started on Sunday as the big market, big star tilt that would draw a lot of eyes. By the middle of the first leg, the attention had shifted to the pitch at Red Bull Arena, which had snow dumped on it the day before and was making it difficult for either side to string together passes. The final whistle blew and the talk was about whether the Red Bulls had a chance of making up a one-goal deficit in LA. A few seconds after, the two teams were pushing and shoving at midfield and the focus was on the bad blood between the two teams, soccer be damned.
After the final whistle, Rafa Marquez decided to do his best impression of a petulant teenager, or his best impression of Rafa Marquez, and he threw the ball at Landon Donovan. This upset Adam Cristman, who got in Marquez's face, the two teams started pushing and shoving, Marquez got punched by air and fell, then finally things settled down. Marquez was shown a red card, as was the Galaxy's Juninho and more punishment could come down from the league office to Cristman was starting the pushing and Teemu Tainio, who grabbed Juninho around the neck.
While the absences of Marquez and Juninho certainly favors the Red Bulls, it still looks unlikely that they could win in Los Angeles, which they have to do or be eliminated. The Galaxy didn't lose a match at the Home Depot Center all season and New York wasn't very good on the road, winning just twice during the regular season. Los Angeles was the best team in the league all season and put up the highest point total of any team in MLS since 1998 and New York struggled to get the final playoff spot. None of it looks too promising for the Red Bulls.
That's not to say the Red Bulls don't have a chance though. Los Angeles has had problems in the center of the pitch before and with Juninho out, they could have real trouble providing defensive cover. Chris Birchall put in solid work this season, but that was predominantly out on the wing and if he's asked to come inside and be the positionally aware central midfielder next to a roaming, defensive indifferent David Beckham, it could get ugly. Then there's Thierry Henry, Luke Rodgers, Joel Lindpere and Dane Richard, a quartet more than capable of scoring a goal or two, while Dax McCarty is at least an even swap, if not better than Marquez in the center.
Even those who think this one is in the bag for LA will have a reason to tune in now though. Who knows when another skirmish might break out? Birchall, Beckham, Rodgers and Henry aren't exactly known for their cool heads and while the biggest tool of them all - Marquez - is suspended, the drama of the playoffs could add some extra, non-soccer related fun that makes this one worth watching.

The Baltimore Ravens will be lacking depth at the cornerback position on Sunday when they face the San Diego Chargers. Cornerbacks Jimmy Smith and Chris Johnson lead the list of inactive players for the game at Qualcomm Stadium.
Offensive linemen Bobbie Williams and Ramon Harewood are also on the inactive list for Baltimore. They are joined by wide receiver Deonte Thompson, defensive tackle Bryan Hall and defensive end Pernell McPhee. McPhee hasn't played since the Oct. 21 game against the Houston Texans.
Not appearing on the inactive list is tight end Dennis Pitta, who has recovered from a concussion.
The Chargers will be without guard Tyronne Green, running back Curtis Brinkley, receiver Eddie Royal and tight end Dante Rosario on the offensive side of the ball.
Royal has 16 receptions for 134 yards this season, while Brinkley has carried the ball 29 times for 60 yards as a backup at running back. Meanwhile, San Diego will shift the offensive line to include undrafted rookie Mike Harris at left tackle and Rex Hadnot at left guard.
On defense, San Diego will be without linebackers Larry English and Jonas Mouton, and safety Brandon Taylor.

GRAND PRAIRIE -- Many teenage girls see themselves as fashionistas, but girls placed in foster care often leave home with just the clothes on their back.
Now, a North Texas woman is helping fill their closets with clothes and their hearts with hope.
Inside her Grand Prairies home and surrounded by racks of dresses, Ericka Ellis remembers how as a child in foster care she sometimes wore the same few outfits repeatedly.
"And when I was taken out of the home, I wasn't able to say, 'Wait, let me go get my favorite dress,'" Ellis said.
She was eight years old when her mother's drug addiction led to years of being bounced from foster home to foster home.
"I've been sexually abused," she said. "I've been around drug dealers, you know, coming in my room touching me, and left outside to sleep in the park."
These are intimate details that other people might try to cover up, but Ellis shares freely.
She went to college, got married, and had a child. Memories from her painful past became the inspiration for Think. Love. Smart., her non- profit organization which mentors girls in foster care.
The clothes, some brand new, were donated so that other girls whose favorite dresses were left behind can have clothes and confidence.
"So they get to go shopping -- what girls like to do," Ellis said. "So yeah, they get to shop the racks and have fun."
More than a dozen girls pick what they want until it's all gone, but what they pick up from Ericka is living proof that they don't have to be just another statistic.
"I tell them that's not true," Ellis said. "You have the power to have a great life."
Nina Vong is one of the girls Ellis mentors.
"I went into foster care when I was 12," Vong said. "[Ericka] told me everything that happened to her when she was a little girl. You have people talking about you, saying your mom don't want you. She just gave me wings."
This weekend, sixteen girls who received new clothes will model their new outfits in "Stride, Strive, and Strut," a fashion show fundraiser for Think. Love. Smart. It will be held this Saturday at 5 p.m. at the Potter's House recreational facility. Tickets can be purchased at this link.

ANDERSON — Anderson City Council will conduct a special meeting today to discuss a new CATS bus terminal.
Anderson Public Information Officer Alisha Cummings said the council and Mayor Kevin Smith's administration are at odds over the terminal's proposed location. A decision could be reached at the meeting.
Some members of city council want to build the bus terminal in front of the Anderson Young Ballet Theater at Meridian and Main streets.
Cummings said the city administration is opposed to putting the terminal there, in part because of the hassle it would pose to the dancers and their parents.
The Smith administration wants to put the new terminal at the corner of 14th Street and Central Avenue.
Sam Pellegrino, general manager of CATS, said an environmental study from the Madison County Council of Governments recommended the city's chosen site. Pellegrino cited several advantages offered by the location, including minimized disruption of current routes and the central location near downtown businesses.
Council member Russ Willis — like Smith, a Republican — favors locating the terminal at 14th and Central.
"It would provide an improvement to the neighborhood," he said.
Pellegrino said the site the council picked has not been federally approved and any construction there would not be matched by a federal grant. Initially, $1.8 million in federal grants were earmarked for the project.
The city has already received federal approval to build the terminal at the 14th-and-Central site, Pellegrino said.
Councilman Joe Newman said he has not decided which site plan to support and will attend tonight's meeting with an open mind.
If the two sides don't agree, Cummings said, the decision might not be reached at today's meeting. In fact, if an agreement can't be reached, the council might decide to buy new buses instead. CATS currently has seven routes, eight buses for those routes and eight buses for Nifty Lift routes.

A Chicago man is facing a felony charge for pouring boiling water on a 15-year-old boy, causing second-degree burns on the teen's face and neck, according to police.
Terrell Michael Johnson, 19, of the 7600 block of King Drive was charged Monday with one count of aggravated battery causing great bodily harm, according to police.
The incident occurred during a sleepover Nov. 30 at a home in the 7500 block of South Peoria Street, police said.
According to police, the boy feared his mother would be upset with his injuries and concealed them for two days. The teen later confessed to the incident and said a friend witnessed the attack, police said.
Johnson was expected to appear in bond court Tuesday.

Here is the exciting clinical research that has just been released. Policosanol was tested against statins and lowered LDL cholesterol as much as levostatin and pravastatin. In this same clinical trial Lipitor and policosanol both significantly lowered cholesterol, but the policosanol significantly raised the HDL (good cholesterol). The policosanol group did not raise the liver enzymes like the Lipitor group did. Policosanol also helped to lower glucose, CPK and liver AST enzymes.
Policosanol does not cause pain in the muscles like the statin drugs. Policosanol does not deplete Co-enzyme Q10. Co-enzyme Q-10 protects the heart. The most important part of the research showed that the group taking the policosanol produced greater changes in the HDL (good) cholesterol, more tolerable and much safer. Policosanol was taken at 10mg/day for 12 weeks.
Policosanol is a purified mixture of primary alcohols isolated from sugar-cane wax or bees wax that helps prevent LDL oxidation. It also helps lower total and LDL cholesterol by inhibiting cholesterol synthesis and helps reduce the cholesterol content of liver, heart and fatty tissues. Policosanol has been researched to show that it helps to prevent and reverse atherosclerosis lesions and thrombosis. It also worked quite favorably for diabetic patients to help their glucose levels and reduce lipids.
Contraindications for taking high doses of policosanol include the use of Propranolol, nifedipine, other anithypertensive drugs, anticoagulants/antiplatelet or cholesterol medications. Patients taking acetyl-cholinesterase inhibitors and cholinomimetic agents should also be monitored closely.
Total Lipotrophic is the product that I am most familiar with at this time. The research is so very exciting that I'm sure many of you will be searching the Internet for a similiar type of product. Keeping you informed about new reasearch is very exciting.
God bless America and all of our troops. Yours in good health!
