For our March 2, 1987, issue, InfoWorld asked industry figures to comment on the new Macintoshes at the time -- the Macintosh II and Macintosh SE -- and to speculate on their impact on the corporate market.
Included in that article was commentary from then Living Videotext President David Winer; then Apple Computer Manager of Software Products Guy Kawasaki; Philippe Kahn, founder and president of Borland International; and John Warnock, then president of Adobe Systems; among others.
[ For more Macintosh nostalgia, see our special report "Apple Macintosh at 30," including all the original reviews of the early Macintosh models. ]
The following is Microsoft Chairman and Founder Bill Gates' take on the Macintosh and its future outlook in business organizations.
By having a very high-end offering with the 68020 performance and a larger display, I think it makes it easier to people who'd like to have the Macintosh serve all their needs. Not many people have complained about the small display on the Macintosh, but I happen to believe that for a lot of the applications the Macintosh is so excellent at, like desktop publishing, the small display really holds you back.
If you look at a product like Mac Word III on that full-page display, it's pretty awesome. With a factor of three speed improvement, it's incredible.
I'm happy that Apple has separated the notion of their network protocols and their network user interface from the notion that Appletalk, the wire, is the only transport for that, and now with this plug-in bus, you could buy those machines and connect them with Ethernets or put in the Ethernet card in the Apple bus and use one of the third-party SCSI-connected Ethernets.
Our publication department uses Macs to do their manuals, and the Appletalk network, as nice as it is, just doesn't have the bandwidth to send around the documents we have, with the scanned images and everything. So we needed to get them hooked up to Ethernet to tie into our other stuff. Apple's starting to take better advantage of one of their built-in benefits, which is the low-cost -- although low-speed -- network that's built-in. So Apple's really pulling all the pieces together.
As far as the corporate buyer goes, that's the area I doubt Apple will do better in. Every little bit makes a big difference to them. The ratio of PC to Mac sales, even in the United States, is like 11 to 1. It won't change dramatically. The IBM world isn't standing still. You're starting to see higher resolution video cards and a product like Pagemaker comoing out. It's move and countermove. Both of these architectures are improving a lot.
I would say, at least for this round of announcements, Apple's relative share in the market as a whole will go up. But the corporate buyer is never going to be a strong point for Apple.
I don't know the pricing, but bringing the Mac Plus down is important. The credibility of the family is anchored on the high end, but they have to think about the low-cost clone market. That's move countermove. You look at the price of low-cost DOS machines; it's a tough problem for them. They don't just compete with IBM. They compete with everyone who makes DOS machines. They've got to look at the Compaq Portable III, the Compaq 386, the Tandy 1000.

Austin Striplin, an all-state middle linebacker on the Sumner High School football team, is a towering six-foot-three. On the field, he is the team captain, and as a senior in the classroom, he is ASB president.
From the moment he became ASB president, Striplin made it his goal to learn as many names of students at the school as he could.
"Every person needs a friend, and names are important," Striplin said. "When you're greeting students, it's cool to say their names."
Kimi Nakayama, also a senior at Sumner, is a star athlete in the track program. As part of the Advance Leadership class, she set as her overall goal to do three random acts of kindness per week.
"At the beginning of track season, I gave a note card to all the beginning pole-vaulters," Nakayama said. "It said good luck to them and I included an inspirational quote. This was a great way to start the season."
After this random act of kindness, Nakayama said athletes told her later that they had laminated the note cards, that they put them on display and wouldn't forget them.
Striplin will be a freshman at Pacific Lutheran University starting next fall; Nakayama will be a freshman at Washington State University. Both said they plan to continue this model of servant leadership that they have learned at Sumner High School into their post-education career.
"It's changed my view of coming to school," Nakayama said. "I come to school now to serve a bigger purpose."
It's these kind of sentiments that leadership teacher John Norlin enjoys hearing from students who have gone through the curriculum-structured servant leadership model at Sumner that he started nine years ago.
"It's our responsibility to teach the whole student," Norlin said. "It's our hope that we have stronger character students (graduating school). Having a vision for character development is huge. It's huge that our school administration supports it."
Nine years ago, Norlin, a student leadership instructor, introduced to the school the curriculum-structured model of servant leadership. This model came from the State Leadership Program, which is sponsored by the Association of Washington School Principals.
"We took the curriculum and aligned it to state goals and got approval from the district," Norlin said. "From the beginning, we have had complete support from the district."
Norlin teachers four leadership classes each year. A co-instructor, Brett McDaniel, teaches another two.
"We have 200 to 250 students each semester in leadership classes each day," Norlin said. "We're hitting a huge portion of the student body."
What that means is that a core group of students are in their classrooms and in the high school hallways being leaders.
Norlin said the leadership classes empower students to be leaders regardless of a title. Elected leaders are automatically enrolled in the Advanced Leadership class, but any student who has taken the curriculum class can qualify for the advanced class.
"We've broken down the exclusiveness," Norlin said.
More than 60 students make up the Advanced Leadership class, and that number is broken down into eight teams, each with its own team leader. Norlin said its these students that organize annual evens that give back to the community. Those include the Food Bowl in the fall following Homecoming, where students collect food donations for the local food bank; a community dinner in December open to the public; the Winter Wishes program where students grant wishes for others in need; and Benefit Night that raises money for individuals battling a life-threatening disease.
Norlin also empowers students each spring to host a student-led professional development leadership conference. The fifth anniversary earlier this month brought more than 800 students from 36 high schools.
Norlin's impact has spread to other school districts in the state that have decided to also implement the servant leadership model.
"To see this spread has been one of the most rewarding parts," Norlin said.
Sumner High School Principal Bill Gaines said there are students who want to come to Sumner High School because of the leadership model.
"We're up to 178 out-of-district waiver requests," Gaines said.
Gaines said he also doesn't have any problem employing new teachers and administrators at the school.
Norlin, who received a master's degree in organizational leadership and an endorsement in servant leadership from Gonzaga University, said he knew at the beginning of his senior year at Wenatchee High School that he wanted to be a leadership teacher.
In his senior year of high school, he made it his goal to greet people at the entrance of the school every day. In doing this, he befriended Aaron Dempsey, a physically challenged student.
"My experience standing with him is the core bedrock of what I started with students (at Sumner High School)," Norlin said.
Norlin has received countless awards for his achievements, including the 2014 Community Leadership Award from the Washington Association of School Administrators Region III.
"It gives credibility to the work we're doing," he said of the awards. "And it honors the work that the kids continue to do. Getting to celebrate it with them is a huge part of it."

VIDEO: Anti-Violence Project decries alleged 'anti-LGBTQ' police incident
The New York City Anti-Violence Project alleges that several NYPD officers were involved in "anti-LGBTQ" violence against three openly gay men in Bedford-Stuyvesant last weekend.
"The survivors reported that they were walking past the 79th Precinct when an NYPD officer accused one of the men of public urination and attacked him, throwing him against a police car," AVP said in a statement. "The officer was joined by other officers who also attacked the man, throwing him to the ground and pepper spraying him while he was in handcuffs."
One of the men, Ben Collins, told the Village Voice that the officers used gay slurs while arresting his roommate, Josh Williams.
A video of the incident appears to show police officers shoving one of the men. The AVP plans to hold a press conference on Tuesday to discuss what they call the "bias-motivated assault."
Watch the video of the incident below. Warning: Explicit language.

Thank you for assisting the handicapped
Mary Ellen Brookshire sends out this cheer to Red Lobster restaurant in Kokomo.
"A few weeks ago, myself and three other ladies were planning lunch at Red Lobster. I picked up one of the ladies and was told by her helper that she was wheelchair bound at this time. Her wheel chair was put in my trunk, she was settled in, and we were on our way.
Upon arriving at the door to Red Lobster, I knew none of us were able to handle the chair and get the person inside the restaurant. I went inside and asked the hostess if there were any men available that could assist me.
"Immediately two gentlemen arrived. They were successful in getting my friend settled inside. When we were ready to leave, they were there once again and got us on the road.
"If you feel that Kokomo has a lot of eating places with no assistance for handicapped people, remember Red Lobster. I am proud to say they know how to treat people and their food is outstanding. Kokomo is lucky to have them."
Concert series was music to his ears
Bill J. Smyser sends this cheer for the Greentown Music at the Fountain summer concert series:
"With nine performances this year, 2013 marked the 9th year in a row for Music at the Fountain summer concert series in Greentown. They heard and observed another great year of music of the '50s, '60s and '70s. The bands were enjoyed by record crowds of up to 700 people in attendance each week.
"The list of eight bands, performing in a superior manner, were: Bill Tandy and Sally Duke, Old Dudes Rock, Ginny Spillman – Patsy Cline tribute, Livin Forgivin, Spittin Image, The Blue Notes, Let's Boogie Bandy by Tim Jones and Almost Country. These bands were remarkable and selected by chairman Sally Duke.
"A cake walk each week was directed by Angie Sparks.
"Dancing to the boogie-woogie and the twist was also enjoyed by many in attendance.
"A big thank you again to Sally Duke for her leadership, and to the donation by Community First Bank and the many interested sponsors."

I am jealous.... I have a small lot in the big city and only rocks will grow on the rock farm. Suprises some folks but I have pears, grapes, asparagus, and a ton of raspberries.
I do have a suggestion.... if you can get a 'big' plow to go deep for ya, I would highly recommend Asparagus. It is just so good, very early in the spring to harvest and all you need to do is 'mow' it in the winter. Truly a lazy gardeners delight! If you haven't had fresh asparagus you are missing something.
I have had awesome luck with everything I have gotten from Miller Nurseries in upstate NY. My asparagus is about 15 years old and still going strong.

Citrus greening, a disease that reduces yield, compromises the flavor, color, and size of citrus fruit and eventually kills the citrus tree, is now present in all 34 Floridian citrus-producing counties. Caused by an insect-spread bacterial infection, the disease reduced citrus production in 2008 by several percent and continues to spread, threatening the existence of Florida's $9.3 billion citrus industry.
A successful citrus greening response will focus on earlier detection of diseased trees, so that these sources of new infections can be removed more quickly, and on new methods to control the insects that carry the bacteria. In the longerterm, technologies such as genomics could be used to develop new citrus strains that are resistant to both the bacteria and the insect.

Researchers at Mercedes-Benz closely studied more than 550 male and female drivers and the physiological indicators that occur when fatigue sets in while driving. The research shows that drowsy drivers demonstrate a pattern of lane drifts and making minor steering errors that are often corrected quickly and abruptly. These in-depth studies led to the development of technology to monitor driver and vehicle variables called "Attention Assist," which includes highly sensitive sensors that continuously monitor and observe the driver's behavior across 70 different parameters. Among the monitors is a highly sensitive steering angle sensor that recognizes patterns of minor steering corrections, which proves to be a very strong measure of the driver's condition. Once the system recognizes a drowsy driving pattern it emits an audible and visible warning in the form of an espresso cup icon and "time for a break" alert on the instrument panel. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) more than 100,000 police-reported crashes, resulting in 1,550 deaths and another 71,000 injuries each year are caused by drowsy driving. The problem is significant enough that several states are considering legislation that would allow police to charge drowsy drivers with criminal negligence. New Jersey is currently the only state that specifically criminalizes drowsy driving in a fatal crash by classifying it as recklessness under its vehicular homicide statute. This past November, Mercedes-Benz and the National Sleep Foundation joined forces during Drowsy Driving Prevention Week™ to raise awareness around the issue. Do your part to combat drowsy driving by getting enough rest before hitting the road and spreading the word that drowsy driving kills.

Bless your loving mother or godly wife this Mother's Day with one of these Bible verses for Mom.
Bible Verses for Mothers
Exodus 20:12
Honor your father and mother. Then you will live a long, full life in the land the LORD your God will give you. (NLT)
Psalm 139:13
You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother's womb. (NLT)
Proverbs 14:1
The wise woman builds her house, but with her own hands the foolish one tears hers down. (NIV)
Proverbs 18:22
He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the LORD. (NASB)
Proverbs 31:10-12 and 25-31
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all."
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Give her the reward she has earned,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate. (NIV)

Love is Love
Original post made by Ms. Jenson on Apr 5, 2013
Love is Love, by Stephanie T.
I wish I had a magic wand, because there are so many things that I want to change in this world. One of the biggest, and most important, is people's perspective on same-sex marriage. Many people do not accept it, and I don't understand why. Partners in same-sex couples breathe, eat, work, and talk. They're just like me and you. If you take away the exteriors what's left? The same skeleton under everyone - no errors, no mistakes, we are all built the same way. The only difference is the gender that they love, and that's not a reason to dislike them, or treat them like they're different. They only want to live their lives without being harassed.
Groups of people pushed down have always had to fight for their rights. Susan B. Anthony, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. Just like those people fought for the basic human right to be treated equally, gay and lesbian people need to fight for their own equality. My sister is a lesbian, and I support her. She's not different from anyone else, in fact she might be better. I can always go to my sister for help and support. I love my sister just the way she is, and I wouldn't trade her for anything.
I can't just wave a wand and make people change their beliefs, but I can ask that they stop hating on people for something that doesn't affect them. No one deserves to be treated unfairly. My sister deserves the same rights as everybody else, and should be allowed to marry if she chooses. Maybe, if people stop being mean, and think about being kind before they speak, someday same sex marriage will be legal in California.

.Marriage is not just any relationship between human beings. It is a relationship rooted in human nature and thus governed by natural law.
Natural law's most elementary precept is that "good is to be done and pursued, and evil is to be avoided." By his natural reason, man can perceive what is morally good or bad for him. Thus, he can know the end or purpose of each of his acts and how it is morally wrong to transform the means that help him accomplish an act into the act's purpose.
Any situation which institutionalizes the circumvention of the purpose of the sexual act violates natural law and the objective norm of morality.
Being rooted in human nature, natural law is universal and immutable. It applies to the entire human race, equally. It commands and forbids consistently, everywhere and always.

Stephanie T., thank you for writing your beautiful letter. I am a civic activist in Mountain View who speaks in opposition to the queer viewpoint. What unites us is more important than what divides us. If you CARE, then you and I are on the same side. If you and I both want to see a world of real liberty, real justice, and real economic empowerment for every human being on the planet, and you and I are both willing to lift a finger to make it happen, then we are on the same side.
I would be pleased to discuss this with you or Ms. Jensen here. The most troubling aspect of this issue is that no meaningful civic conversation is taking place. People with opposing views, such as you and me, are not listening to each other, not considering each other's ideas, not respecting each other, and are not willing to learn from each other.
I will now state my opinion briefly. If you want to converse with me, you can either post a clarifying question or any other response. Otherwise, please remember that everyone who cares and who is willing to work for progress is on the same side, especially if we have the same core values (liberty and justice) and only disagree about how best to achieve them.
Opinion: I support the entire "queer agenda" as I understand it, with the sole exception that I oppose the redefinition of the word "marriage". This is because redefining that word would silence important ideas, and I oppose silencing. The queer community should attempt to prevail in debate by presenting a winning argument, not by silencing the opposing view. Redefining "marriage" would silence that view. This whole fight is really an attempt by the queer community to silence the marriage norm, which they, not surprisingly, find to be inconvenient.

Thank you both very much for your respectful comments. It means a lot that you took the time to respond in such a thoughtful manner. Stephanie and I read the comments together and discussed them. We talked about equality and how we both believe that all people should be treated the same, including the rights that they are given. I look forward to conversing with you both on future Penther Pen postings.

Kellogg Learning Academy by Kellogg Students - over 1 year ago
"My grandchildren have been home schooled by their Mom, Robin who has a degree in education. They are all above grade level. The shirts represent their unity as a learning group. Custom Ink made these possible through reasonable pricing. The service was phenomenal. We will certainly place orders in the future and Custom Ink will be my first recommendation. Thank you for a wonderful experience. Kathy Kellogg (Grandma)"

About a third of the scheduled flights out of RSW were canceled Monday due to hurricane Sandy.
49 of the 158 flights scheduled out of RSW were grounded.
From Washington D.C. to Boston, Sandy has a stronghold on the east coast, ruining thousands of travel plans.
"They told me the earliest would be sometime Friday, and that's not etched in stone either," said Massachusetts resident, Doug Hook.
Sandra Luck didn't have any 'luck' getting on her flight to Germany.
Her connecting flight out of Philadelphia was canceled, and now she may have to fork over big bucks to wait out the storm.
"Maybe talking about another $1300 so I don't know how I'm going to get this back in Germany so I've got to try, at least we're safe right now," Luck said.
Also staying safe are about a half dozen planes sitting on the Tarmac at RSW.
The planes that were supposed to be in the air are on the ground at airports in the south, out of Sandy's path.
Some travelers need to get back up north, and they realize entering that path could be risky.
"We're trying to either get a flight as close to home as possible or rent a car and drive. That's about it. We're out of options, we're trying everything else but it doesn't look too promising," said John and Kathy Perillo of Tom's River, New Jersey.
The only thing that does look promising for these stranded travelers is Southwest Florida sunshine.
"I guess if you're going to be stuck any place, this is the place," Perillo said.
We have learned that the New Jersey couple decided to rent a car and drive 20 hours back home.
Many airlines are waiving the rescheduling fee so travelers can rebook, but it's unclear when many will be able to rebook. Travelers should check the airline's website for information.

Zoneline® Packaged Terminal Air Conditioners provide year-round comfort with individual heating and cooling temperature controls. Zoneline units are extremely quiet and designed to fit a wide range of applications, making them the ideal choice for hotels and motels, office buildings and apartments. Standard on all models is our exclusive GE® "Superseal" system, which reduces air infiltration and increases both comfort and efficiency. Plus, this Zoneline unit uses R-410A refrigerant which is compliant with 2010 U.S. Environmental Protection Agency requirements for the phase-out of ozone-depleting compounds.
Zoneline® units are designed with innovative, universal components, and offer even greater installation flexibility than ever, whether in new construction, renovation or for replacement of old units. Unless specified by code, they require no sub-base and may be installed flush with finished floor. All models are adaptable to remote and central desk control. Zoneline units may even be placed in unusual locations, such as transom or common-area installations.
Note: General Electric Zoneline Air Conditioners do not come with power cords. GE RAK Series Power Cord is a required accessory when purchasing this product. The choice of the power cord determines the amount of electric resistive heat.
Power cords available for this unit:
RAK3153 (15 Amp 8600/7100 BTU)
RAK3203 (20 Amp 11700/9600 BTU)
RAK3303 (30 Amp 17000/13900 BTU)
Please see manufacturers specification sheet for more info on power cord selection.
When purchasing a PTAC unit be sure to match the power plug to the wall recepticle. View this plug chart which will show you what wall recepticle is required for the PTAC unit of your choice. Also, a wall sleeve and grille are required for new installations and can be purchased as Accessories.
Standard Features:
Inside air conditioning systems are liquid/gas refrigerant. There are two types of this refrigerant available for use, R-22 (more commonly known as Freon), and a newer alternative R-410A.
An air conditioning system does not consume refrigerant, but reuses it. As long as there are no leaks in the refrigerant circuit, there is no need to ever add more refrigerant to an air conditioning system.
Although R-22 is an effective refrigerant, if it is released into the atmosphere it can contribute to the depletion of the Earth's ozone layer. The EPA has mandated the phasing out the use of R-22. It is being replaced by R-410A.
As of 2010, manufacturers are required to make all new air conditioners with R-410A. However, R-22 is still available for sale in existing pre-2010-manufactured equipment, and for use in servicing existing R-22 equipment. By 2020, R-22 will no longer be manufactured, but will still be recycled and available for sale.
Reciprocating compressors use a piston to compress the refrigerant.
Rotary compressors utilize a roller rotating eccentrically inside a cylinder and a spring mounted blade always rubbing against the roller. As the eccentric rotates towards the blade, the space is decreased and the refrigerant is compressed. Rotary compressors are very efficient.
Scroll compressors consists of 2 scrolls to pressurize refrigerant. Often 1 scroll is fixed and the other orbits eccentrically compressing the gas between the scrolls. Scroll compressors are quiet, smooth and offer highest efficiency ratio of all compressor types.
Scroll Ultratech™ compressors are advanced scroll compressors which offer more features and better diagnostics.

Report: Allen Iverson interested in return to NBA Allen Iverson, NBA | Comments
Former league Most Valuable Player Allen Iverson is reportedly interested in making a comeback to the NBA, according to Chris Broussard of ESPN.com. Sources told Broussard that Iverson was willing to play in the NBDL or out of the country if it means getting a chance to play in the league again.
"Allen only wants to play if there's a possibility that it leads to the NBA," the source told Broussard. "That's the only way he would go to one of these lower leagues. He wants to get back to the NBA and leave the game on his terms."
Iverson is mired in financial trouble, and the 36-year-old was reportedly on the Los Angeles Lakers' radar recently.
The 4-time scoring champion is reportedly hoping that something materializes in the near future.
"Nothing is imminent," the source said, according to Broussard. "The only thing that's imminent is Allen's desire to show people that he's still got a lot to offer on the basketball court, even if it's just helping young guys learn from the mistakes he made."

On Tuesday, September 17th CSX Railroad will be continuing repairs of the rail system that runs through Grovetown, which will cause some road closures.
The schedule closings are as follows:
Tuesday, September 17th and Wednesday, September 18th:
Robinson Avenue (Highway 223) will be closed at the railroad crossing. On this day, all traffic that needs to cross is encouraged to use alternate routes through Grovetown (Jimmy Dyess Parkway, or Highway 221). The Katherine Street crossing will be open on this day, but it is a "No Truck" route.
Thursday, September 19th and Friday, September 20th:
On this day, both Robinson Avenue (Highway 223) and Katherine Street will be closed to all thru traffic. The road can accommodate local traffic, but the railroad crossing will be closed. All thru traffic must use alternate route to bypass Grovetown. Suggestions are Jimmy Dyess Parkway, Gordon Highway, and Wrightsboro Road to Highway 221. Officials say Parham Road to Newmantown Road is a good option for cars. Parham Road has a bridge that crosses over the tracks.
CSX representatives state that it is possible that the crossing may be completed earlier, and they can open for traffic earlier than expected.

Our cruise was delayed because of Hurricane Irene. Instead of 7 days we sailed for 6 days. Our ports of call were also changed from Grand Turk, Half Moon Cay, and Freeport Bahamas to Port Canaveral FL, Nassau Bahamas and Freeport Bahamas.
So instead of starting out on Sunday August 28,2011 we left on Monday August 29, 2011.
Let me tell you about us. myself 42, and my Darling husband (DH) 48, have been married for 16 years and have two wonderful boys (TB) 11 & 12 . This is DH and I's 3rd cruise and TB 2ND cruise. We have been on Royal Caribbean for our honeymoon and last year on the Carnival Miracle out of New York.
Lets start from the cruise port in Baltimore. Wonderful, fast, and efficient! We were out of the terminal in less than 30 minutes. Once we were on the ship we were able to go to our room. We ran into a little snag on the room key. There was a battery problem with the lock and that was quickly taken care of! Then we went to explore the ship.
The decor was surprisingly pleasant. I was prepared for some harsh decor after I had read some other reviews. There were classic paintings duplicated around the ship. We did not find anything distasteful.
Our stateroom nice. Our cabin Steward Alison (guy) was wonderful you did not see him that often but you knew that he had been there. We loved the towel animals he left for us. My favorite is the monkey hanging from the ceiling. The room was always clean. He even put away our shoes. I would have really loved to take him home with us!
In the Normandie Dining room our Waitress Retno was wonderful she did a superb job taking care of us. She knew our names by day two and our likes on drinks. they work really hard on that ship to please the guests. The singing and dancing the wait staff did was great. We were seated with another family. The other family consisted of husband and wife, daughter 11, son 8. We lucked out to get a nice family to share our evening meals with. We always found something to talk about. I must tip my hat to Carnival for the wonderful match up!
The entertainment was OK! the shows were good but we liked the comedians and the juggler better. The comedy shows had you busting at the seams! It was a lot of fun. TB did not like that they could not go to the 18 and older adult comedy shows. They did not think it was fair!
TB were a little disappointed in the timing of lazer tag games 6:30-7:30 we had early seating for dinner. They did get to play once on the last day they had lazer tag at 1:45 but there was such a line up that they only got to play once. Here is an Idea for Carnival for their new ships take out one of the bars and put in a lazer tag room. Just think of the money they could make at $5.00 per game if it was available in a permanent place and longer.
While TB were playing lazer tag I went to the Sip life Q&A. Wow was that an eye opened. Some of their contracts are for 6 months and they do NOT get a day off for 6 months they work about 70 hours a week. I really don't think i could go that long without seeing my family. Also on the Carnival Pride there are 47 different nationalities! WOW!
I and DH went for the galley tour. It was really interesting and I was amazed at the shear size of the galley.
DH utilized the running track and gym. He would go to the track early in the morning before the walkers would get to the track. If the track was closed due to high winds he went to the gym. He thought it was adequate.
On the lido deck there is always the problem of chair hogging. People get up early and put a towel on a lounge chair, so when you go up to the pool you search for a long time to find a lounge chair! Usually with no luck. and if you find one it is not near the pool! so trying to watch your children while in the pool has to be done in a regular chair not in a lounge. But it is what it is.
TB did not join the the kids clubs! they thought it was boring. So they went on the water slide, played ping pong and miniature golf and went to the arcade. Or went in the pools and hot tubs.
The photographers were constantly taking pictures any chance they got. I'm a sucker for good group pictures so I spent a good chunk of change on pictures.
The buffet was OK! Lines were always long. If you want better control of what you eat avoid the buffet! The deserts were really good. My men liked the pizza, sometimes too much! TB and I liked the hot coco. We liked to go for the midnight buffet to see what kind of food they were serving. The Mexican was really good. The part of the the buffet I did not care for was some of the other passengers, coming to breakfast in their PJ's.
My only complaint about the Carnival Pride has nothing to do with the ship. It has to do with some of the guests that DO NOT SUPERVISE THEIR CHILDREN! There was a group of kids that ran around the ship like the were just let out if the zoo. Spraying ketchup on the wall. I herd of one incident where they threw a glass on the floor out of the elevator. They came into the lido buffet one night just being extremely disruptive and loud that most of the people got up and left none of the staff did anything about it. I thought there was a curfew for children?
Even though our vacation was cut short a day overall it was a Great Vacation and I have already put a deposit on next years cruise! I think we are going to try the Carnival Dream next year ! I will let you know how it goes!

First of all, sorry if this is the wrong place to post this.
So, I've been having trouble for the past year or so getting my game on IGS's Daily Deal, now I know that if it doesn't have a good reception on the forum when Mike asks for feedback, the game can't be featured.
The problem is my game SickBrick has had good feedback as can be seen here:
"Sickbrick would probably do well as well, even though it's an FPS type dealy."
"SickBrick looks interesting. It's apparently quite short, but for PWYW that's fine."
"SickBrick - Looks great. Would buy this for sure."
"SickBrick Uh... sure why not, it seems fun enough."
I've also sold 70 units on IGS Store without any promotion. Don't know if thats a good or bad thing
After Mike saw that SickBrick had positive feedback on the forum, he said they'll schedule the game after they've finished with something big (which turned out to be the IGS Store). Then I tried scheduling it myself, but I didn't have desura keys and additional content, so I added that and the IGS guys said they'll contact me back ASAP.
Since then it's been total silence from Mike and the support on IGS.
This is my last try at reaching somebody at IGS. Can you please tell me if the game has been rejected or not so I stop trying? An email reply would be nice instead of silence.
Also not trying to sound like a beggar, but a thousand bucks and the promotion that goes with being featured on the Daily Deal would help a starving Croatian indie dev a lot and would help me get my second game out
That's about it.

The program was beautiful!
Classic Allure Half-fold Programs We personalized using a solid darker background color with a lighter font. The ink quality as well as the paper quality were excellent. Delivery was prompt. Everyone loved them. Our wedding invitations were ordered from a different on-line company and we were disappointed in the quality of ink used from them. I would highly recommend using this company!
Loved IT!!!

A Stockbridge mother and are moving into a new home just in time for the holidays. The fresh start comes thanks to Habitat for Humanity and after a lot of hard work and patience.Desiree Crawford has worked side-by-side with Habitat crews every Saturday since October to rehabilitate a house on Timber Lane in Stockbridge.Now she and her 6-year-old son Jordan call that address home."Overwhelming emotionally, it's just like I'm just thankful about the whole process," said Crawford.The house is one of six homes in Henry County donated by Bank of America to the Southern Crescent Habitat for Humanity. But the backbone -- the heart and soul of the rehabs -- are the volunteers."We put a lot of energy and work into it. I think it's turned out really, really great. I think it looks like a new house," said Dave Hesterlee, a volunteer.The keys to unlock a new beginning came on Desiree's 30th birthday."This is just the start of a new journey," said Crawford.The move will provide stability for her son and flexibility that renting a home doesn't always allow."I can decorate if I want to. If I want paint the room green and red, I can. Whatever it I want to do, I can because it's ours. It's truly ours," Crawford said.The property donations are part of Bank of America's national partnership, which will give away 2,000 vacant properties up for renovation over the next three years.

Eagles Split Saturday Doubleheader with Dolphins
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – After securing a third A-Sun Championship with a 10-4 win on Friday evening, the FGCU baseball team finished the three-game series with Jacksonville on Saturday afternoon at Sessions Stadium with a double header. The Eagles dropped game one, 8-4, but earned the victory in game two, 8-3, to take the series from the Dolphins.
Currently 43rd in RPI, the Eagles moved to 34-17 overall (22-5 A-Sun) while the Dolphins record went to 23-25 on the year (12-11 A-Sun) with the double header split. The Blue and Green's record in A-Sun conference games went to 70-20 all-time.
Junior Richie Erath (West Palm Beach, Fla.) was handed the game ball to start the first contest of the afternoon. The right hander moved to 6-3 on the year after throwing 5.1 innings and allowing eight runs (five earned) on 13 hits, to go with six strikeouts and two walks in the loss. Junior righty Craig Crumbly (Winter Haven, Fla.) pitched 2.2 scoreless innings in relief and recorded two strikeouts and two walks.
Matt Tomshaw (7-1) picked up the win for the Dolphins after throwing a complete game and allowing four runs (two earned) on seven hits and five strikeouts to go with two walks.
The Eagles and Dolphins matched runs through the first two frames, each plating a run in the first and two runs in the second inning.
Junior shortstop Steven Wickens (Whitby, Ontario) led off the game with a single to left field and came around to score on a Zach Maxfield (Nort Port, Fla.) single in the first, and the Dolphins scored on a solo home run by Jamaal Hawkins (1-1).
The Eagles' second inning scoring was highlighted by a leadoff home run to left field by junior Austin Gaines (Dunedin, Fla.). A fielding error later in the inning allowed junior Alex Lozada (Estero, Fla.) to cross the plate from third. (3-1). Jacksonville would have runners at second and third with one out, and Alex Swenson touched home on an infield fielding error to level the game (3-3).
With two outs in the bottom of the third inning, Jacksonville sent a single down the right field line to score Alex Martinez from second base and give the home team their first lead of the game (4-3).
The Dolphins pushed the lead to 6-3 when two runs came across the plate in the bottom of the fourth. JU found runners on second and third with two outs before Jonathan Murphy connected with an 0-1 pitch back up the middle for a two RBI single.
FGCU cut into the deficit in the top half of the sixth inning. Gaines got things started with a one out double to center field and moved to third on a groundout to second base. A fielding error by the third baseman allowed Gaines to move the score to 6-4.
Jacksonville recorded two more runs in the home half of the sixth frame and held the Eagles scoreless over the final three innings to claim the 8-4 victory.
The Blue and Green scored four runs on seven hits in the first game of the day. Wickens batted 2-for-5 with a run scored, Maxfield went 1-for-4 with an RBI, and Gaines led the way with the home run in a 2-for-4, two run, and one RBI performance. The Dolphins moved eight runs home on 15 hits in the game.
Senior Pete Woodworth (St. Petersburg, Fla.) was on the mound to begin the second ball game of the afternoon. Improving his record to 8-1, the righty went seven innings and allowed three earned runs on five hits with four strikeouts and two walks in the winning effort. Redshirt sophomore Patrick Nathanson (Maitland, Fla.) threw two innings in relief and allowed just two hits in the scoreless performance.
Kyle Kriech (1-4) had a short outing on the mound to start the game for the Dolphins, throwing just one inning and allowing five earned runs on four hits in the loss. Chris Kaminski, Clay Kollenbaum and Kentrail Pierce combined for the final eight innings on the mound.
In the second contest of the day, the Eagles were able to jump out to an early advantage in their first chance at the plate. Junior Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla.) sent a single through the left side, Roberson singled through the right side and Maxfield walked to load the bases. Another single in the inning by senior Josh Chester (Weston, Fla.) allowed Alvarez and Roberson to score (2-0) and Smiericiak cleared the bases on a three-run home run over the left field wall (5-0).
The home team responded with two runs in the bottom of the first frame. Dan Gulbransen sent a two-out single into left field and was brought home on a triple to right center by Alex Martinez (5-1). Another single in the inning by Jimmy Howick moved Martinez across the plate (5-2).
FGCU extended the lead in the top of the second inning off the bat of Alvarez. The second baseman connected with a first pitch delivery for a two-out solo home run, to push the Eagles' lead to 6-2.
Jacksonville plated another runner in their half of the fourth stanza. An RBI single to left center by Glen Johnson allowed Jimmy Howick to score from second base, and trim the FGCU advantage to three runs (6-3).
The Eagles scored two insurance runs in the top of the final inning. Maxfield connected to center field for a one-out double and Chester stepped into the box and sent a 1-1 delivery over the fence in right field for a two RBI round-tripper (8-3).
FGCU scored eight runs on 14 hits in the second contest. Chester set the tone as he went 2-for-5 with a home run, two runs scored and four RBI. Smierciak recorded three RBI and a run scored on his 1-for-5 day, and Alvarez went 2-for-5 with an RBI and two runs scored.
The Dolphins plated the three runs on seven hits in the game.
Slated next for the Eagles is a meeting with the No. 5 Miami Hurricanes in Coral Gables, Fla. on Tuesday, May 18th at 6 p.m. The Blue and Green fell to then-No. 13 Miami, 9-0, in the "Battle of the Birds" at Hammond Stadium in front of a loud and boisterous crowd of 3,627 on April 14th in Fort Myers.

bday! first beer of the night! ... wonderfully full and delicious!... some rye and caramel hop smell... lacing is more than decent... a glider down the throat... taste is very nice, sweet yet assertive... COULD NOT be more balanced, perfection in that sense!! another real ale winner!!!

Sour and stiff, little malt, quite dry. Smells good.
Pours a light to medium yellow brown color, very hazy, moderate head with little retention. Looks pretty good.
Creamy sour, dry in mouthfeel, yet a little sweet. So smooth. Lemon-like citric splash. Nutty mouthcoating. Mild spiciness. Nice wheaty esters. Tastes good. Citric, sour, and seriously creamy. Feels very good. Good drinkability. I could kick back a few with little thought, or slowly enjoy one in all its subtle complexity.

brown color coming forward immediatly from the glass. Rich looking, and very clear. Lots of carbonation bubbling up toward the surface to reinforce a rich looking head of about an inch in height ]
caramel mixed in as well. providing a slightly sweet balance to it. The only downside would have to be the lightness of the aroma, needed a little more kick. The flavor was very well rounded. Started with a nice punch of caramel, with a decent roasted malt, and smoked quality coming through in the middle.

4/5 rDev +7.2%
Appearance: Slightly hazy, medium golden in color, with a modest white head, no carbonation noted.
Aroma: Prominent sweet aroma, as expected for a beer brewed with a large proportion of rye malt, also ripe banana notes, and the characteristic spiciness of rye.
Taste: Mild rye sweetness at the open, as well as light tropical fruit notes, and spiciness. These carry throughout the taste. Finishes with a subtle hop bitterness.
Mouth feel: Smooth, full, soft, pleasant.
Drinkability/notes:A better-than-typical example of an uncommon style, well-balanced.
Sampled on tap at The Draught House in Austin, Texas on October 13th, 2007.

Sampled at the Draught House in Austin
Quote (German for "rye beer") is a style not commonly found in the U.S. Real Ale Roggenbier is golden in color and similar in flavor to a hefeweizen. Traditional German hefeweizen yeast produces notes of banana, clove, and bubblegum. Forty percent malted rye gives this beer a hint of bitterness and a crisp, dry finish. Try it with a pastrami sandwich
Aroma: Yep, smells like a Hefe. Banana esters and a light spicy note that I believe is the rye.
Appearance: Hazy gold with some clarity, clearer than I would expect for a Hefe. Good ¼ finger white tight head that lasts and laces well with mild tidemarks.
Flavor: Full of the same spice note which has to be Rye. Yeasty element that has a good bubblegum aspect.
Mouthfeel: Heavy body brings a bit of chew and a syrup texture.
Overall Impression: Hefe with Rye. A nice combo, Real Ale does rye right!

3.98/5 rDev +6.7%
A: Light gold or wheat with a bit of haze. Small but persistent head that provides sufficient lacing.
S: Fruity esthers and rye.
T: Looks like a hefeweizen and tastes like one with rye. Yeasty but not unpleasantly so. I do not taste the bubblegum that everyone says I am supposed to taste. I count that as a good thing as bubblegum-flavored beer sounds repulsive. The rye is definitely there and adds a bit of spice to compliment the fruity background of the beer.
M: Sticky and prickly. A wee bit on the heavy side, but still very smooth.
D: This is a great use of rye and is not one that is overpowering. I can see drinking this again.

pours a minimal head with little lacing but a nice cloudy yellow color.
banana phenol and citrus and rye come out on the nose. it smells as if a german yeast strain was used for an authentic flavor.
there is a considerable amount of rye malt. the beer is slightly sour from this. fruity banana esters lie underneath and lend to the sourness of the rye. its hard for me to judge the flavor though. the mouthfeel is a bit thin and robs one from truly appreciating this beer
I have to take off a bit more here because the mouthfeel robs from the overall enjoyment of the brew.
this is my first roggenbier and I'd like to try more of them

Had on draft at The Ginger Man....
this brew pours a cloudy orange color with a decent white head. The nose is composed of fruit, orange citrus, very sweet. The taste is citrus, very sweet, floral hops, subtle spicy hops. full bodied, low carbo. very dry finish. This beer may be a little too sweet to me but was a decent beer nonetheless. I didn't detect much rye. Im no rye expert though.

Reviewed 11/6/2008 (Tap @ Flying Saucer, Houston, TX): Pours an orange cloudy body, small white head, diminishing. Fruity flowery aroma, light fruit like green grapes. Just a real sweet aroma. Flowery taste, dry clean aftertaste. Fruity taste on the front but quickly diminishing. Very tasty. Very fruity, like strawberries and maybe pear or apple. Fizzy mouthfeel, soft. Easy to drink. Warming up, becomes almost sickly sweet.

3.75/5 rDev +0.5%
One of the local offerings on tap at the Flying Saucer in Houston.
Served in the happy hour "big glass" (a hefe - pilsner highbred).
The beer is a hazy gold with a bone white head.
The nose is similar to a hefe. Clove, banana and all spice. The rye adds something nice.
The taste is spicy with tropical fruit. The rye makes this one interesting. It adds a peppery taste that compliments the banana & clove.
The mouth is slightly slick with pinpricks of carbonation.
This is a nice change-up from a standard hefe.

3.68/5 rDev -1.3%
A: Pours a cloudy golden/orange color. A two finger head forms, but recedes fast. Good lace is left behind.
S: Musky and funky banana. A bit of spice from the rye.
T: Lots of banana and citrus flavors. Spicy rye again.
M/D: A medium body that is slick and oily. A bit over carbonated for my tastes. A very smooth and refreshing beer quaff.
Think a hefe with some rye spiciness. Thats what this is. My first Roggenbier, and I am not sure if this fits the style, but a very enjoyable beer anyway.

3.63/5 rDev -2.7%
Pours a very nice, hazed, golden color, and is topped by a thin, white head. The aroma is very fruity, with notes of bananas and apricots. There's a bit of grassiness as well as hints of yeast.
Sweet, bready malts upfront move into a fruity center with notes of bananas, as well as other fruits. The finish has bit of citrus and a mild, grassy bitterness. Medium-bodied and vigorously carbonated.
The flavors are nice, but the beer is a bit too sweet overall, and I think that any flavors contributed by the rye malts are overpowered by the fruitiness.

Pours out an ever so slightly hazed brass with a thin white ring of bubbles atop the beer. has scant bubbles making their way to the top. Smell is grainy with a lot of odd coriander rather than clove. That with the spiciness of the rye almost reminded me of a Belgian offering. Weird. Taste again seems odd with its focus on coriander. Some clove is in the background, but that odd coriander trumps it. Ends grainy. Mouthfeel is kind of thin and slick while stinging the tongue with bubbles. Drinkability is OK. Since this is my first roggenbier, I can't tell if it's the style that doesn't sit with me or if it's just Real Ale's interpretation.

3.4/5 rDev -8.8%
First tap of the keg at the Addison Flying Saucer.
Poured in a pint glass, one finger white head that died before I wrote the first line, receded to a ring around the glass. Moderate to no lacing. Light opaque orange in color. Banana, clove, coriander in the nose, totally comes off as a hefe. Not getting a whole lot of rye notes as I was expecting. This could stand right up next to Live Oak hefe' in my opinion, and bet it. Easy drink, highly enjoyable just not sure if it is on par with the style. Ie, would have a higher smell and taste rating if they just called it a hefe. But it is a solid beer, recommended for hefe lovers.
Notes, this was brewed with wheat malt and rye malt, but my understanding of the style is a strong rye brew, or 100% rye. This is obviously a Real Ale BC re-interpretation.

2.42/5 rDev -35.1%
On tap.
Very light gold pour with a short lived tiny head. Smell is spiced like a hefeweizen with cloves and same notes. Nice if you like hefs, but I find that scent strongly offensive. Was hoping this was more rye than hefeweizen, but it basically came across like a german hefeweizen with a faint hint of rye spiciness in the taste perhaps. Decent beer I guess, but not for me.
