4.24/5 rDev +11%
look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.75
appearance: Vigorous bubbles soon dissipate into a weak head golden color has a hint of orange that gives it a nice character
smell: Rich and dynamic loving it. Some Rhein fruits mixed with the light hops with some nice malted barely on the sides
taste: BAM!!! Wow what a rich flavor. Such a difference from other bland hoppy beers that think hops make up for good flavor. Just a dynamic marrying of sweet and bitter with the fruits on the edges.
mouthfeel: Full for its light color. A joy because it tastes like more than it looks or usually smells. Really a joy to taste
overall: Great Cologne brew, a true bench mark of the marker and the style happy to have

Head retained for a good while. Meanwhile the body of the beer continued to bubble in quite a lively way.
Pale bright straw. Crystal clear.
Little nose/smell, just a slight hoppiness.
Very nice 'rounded' flavour on the palette.
Very refreshing, if a little unremarkable. I'd enjoy again, but perhaps not specifically go and seek it out.

A: Very, very pale yellow. Clear liquid. Pretty big white uneven head that leaves some lacings.
S: A very weak smell. Some malts and white bread. Faint grassy hops, a hint of lemon and some spices.
T: Not much going on here either, rather restrained. Nice spices, though. Some malty sweetness and white bread as well. Some grassy hops and resins. The finish is short and has a mineral-like touch to it. A refreshing yet restrained bitterness develops in the finish, though.
M: Light body and plenty of lively carbonation.
D: This is a good beer, easy to drink and refreshing. But it's not outstanding and it's not very exciting. Probably one for those warm summer nights.

330ml bottle. Always nice to see an example of an esoteric style from its point of origin arrive on my local shelves.
This beer pours a crystal clear, very pale golden straw colour, with two pudgy fingers of puffy, thinly foamy, and mostly bubbly off-white head, which leaves some nicely evil-looking webbed lace around the glass as things quickly sink away.
It smells of bready, doughy pale malt, a hint of white wine must, some old lemon fruitiness, and grassy, leafy hops. The taste is more grainy cereal-heavy pale malt, a bit of apple and white grape fruity tartness, and earthy, leafy, and mild wild grass hops. Simple, but decently so.
The bubbles are pleasantly interactive, but gentle in the process, the body on the far, far side of medium weight, and plainly smooth, the slightest hint of airy creaminess seeping in. It finishes off-dry, a tad, the remaining cereal malt still heady enough to easily keep the lingering fruitiness and still innocuous hops at bay.
A fresh (despite the real time and distance between me and the source of this offering) pale Euro lager, meant more for sunny, humid outdoor patio drinking orgies, rather than a mid-December northern climate's, um, huddlings, but things being as they are, I verily appreciate the out of season images this one paints in my head - ja, Fraulein, I would very much like another.

Enjoyed a bottle brought back from Koln. The label is marked 27.10.10. As expected, this was a tasty and crisp little ale. The aroma has an interested toasted popcorn and grain character with a tiny hint of citrus. The flavor expands on the dry grainy toast with biting orange peel that rolls through a dry finish. Along the way there are also hints of sweet apple (maybe Pink Lady) and fresh raspberries and blueberries. The fruit isn't quite as big as Reissdorf, but it's still all very well balanced. Check out this kolsch classic when you get a chance.

Ahhhh, sitting near the Dom, eating a Halve Hahn and drinking a nice Koelsch as fresh as it comes. This, my friends, is heaven. Sit down, shout 'Eh, Kurbis!' with pride and enjoy one of the finest beers the world has to offer.
How does the beer taste? Well, it's simple, sweet and clean. Like any other Koelsch, it has broad appeal. That also means that there isn't really anything too special about it. It's just a well-put-together beer. Enjoy with friends and food and life will be good.

Poured by the cute flight attendant on my Germanwings flight to the UK, from a .5L bottle to a small cheep plastic cup. The liquid was light gold, with ok carbonation. The head was ok almost 2 fingers white and left some lace.
The smell was a nice hops, slightly citrus with a crusty malt.
The taste was nice, lighter bread malt, slightly crusty and a mild nutty note. The hops added a crisp lemon citrus finish.
The mouthfeel was good, a solid medium body and good carbonation.
The drinkability was good, not a bad sample of a brew we don't get much of in the Kurpfaltz.

Crystal clear golden color with a nice 1 finger bright white head which dies rather quickly. Soft fruitiness with a sweet graininess.
Sweet graininess, light body and light effervescence. Toasted grain, faint butteriness, tart fruit flavors, bit of apple, sweet grain husk, Faint fruity hoppy bitterness to balance. Pretty good, very clean with good flavors and goes down like water.

On gravity at Frueh am Dom.
It pours a perfect clear yellow with a nice white head. Retention isn't great, but it does leave decent lacing.
Smells of light hops, pilsner malt, and not much else. The taste is pretty similar, with some spices also evident.
It's a bit on the light and watery side, but that's just the style; the carbonation does keep it interesting.
Very, very drinkable session beer. Not my favorite koelsch, but close to it.

Poured from a brown 16.9 oz. bottle. Has a pale yellow color with a 1/2 inch head. Smell is of malts, some floral hops. Taste is mild, malty, a bit bready, some floral hops, a hint of sweetness. Feels medium bodied in the mouth and overall is a decent and refreshing beer, probably better suited to the summer.

Hi all.
I couldn't see a devices subforum, so pardon if this is not the right forum to ask
I have an idea for an app on the new E7 phone, which would involve using the touch screen and keyboard at the same time. Is that possible? or do they block each other ir some way. My early tests seem to point in that direction (the keyboard blocks the touch screen and viceversa), but I wanted to double check before abandoning the idea.
I'm quite new to the nokia dev ecosystem so if there is some place where I can look up those facts I'd be happy to receive pointers in the right direction.
Thanks a lot!

Forest Park
Forest Park is truly Portland's crown jewel. Its size and landscape, typical of the Northwest region, offers numerous opportunities to enjoy the outdoors for Portland residents and their regional neighbors. Originally drawn in as part of a city parks plan by the Olmstead Brothers landscape architecture firm, the 5,000-acre-park was officially dedicated in 1948.
Because of the park's popularity, interest in any project potentially advocating change is always high. Although significant lessons were learned from the previous processes at Powell Butte and the Willamette Bluff, the scale of the Park demanded a higher level of coordination. In an effort to prepare for the public scrutiny, the Project Management Team, consultants, and TAC began examining Forest Park's issues several months prior to involving the CAC. The intent was not to establish desired solutions for the different wildfire issues but to better understand the scope of the issues so that we could prepare for the citizen-involvement process.
Once the needed preparation was completed, Forest Park's CAC was introduced to the process. The citizens invited to participate on the CAC were neighbors of the park, leaders of park advocacy groups, and business leaders from the surrounding area. Because of the previous work completed at the other sites in Portland, the intent and application of methods were well understood.
After discussion and a tour of the Park (Photo 5), the CAC expressed several concerns : the possibility of fire spreading from the forest to their homes, especially resulting from one of the many homeless encampments within the park, and the effect on wildlife stemming from any work performed to mitigate such a fire threat. Many of the park neighbors had moved to their homes decades earlier for its woodsy feel, isolation, and interaction with wildlife. The thought of losing this natural appeal made many skeptical of the project.

Discussions during the site tour and a mapping exercise to understand the vegetation types of the park led all to realize that there was a lesser overall fire potential than had been previously determined. Because of forest succession, the century's earlier large fires, and logging operations over the previous century, conifers now only occupy stands totaling 30 percent of the Park. The dominance of hardwoods and mixed ceciduous/coniferous stands would strongly inhibit any large fire, such as those that occurred in the early and mid-1900s.
And certain terrain areas and aspects would prove helpful in creating pockets with higher fuel moistures and relative humidyities, thereby slowing or minimizing any surface fire. This was a welcomed realization, since it offered some relief from the fear of a large fire incident and allowed the project to narrow its scope and focus on specific areas that still posed a threat.
Although the mapping exercises did offer this new view of Forest Park's wildfire potential, it also focused efforts on the roughly 1,500 acres of coniferous trees and surface vegetation that, if caught in a fire, would seriously threaten those homes directly upslope. Any fire in these areas would challenge Portland Fire & Rescue because of their isolation and, although a rare occurrence, the potential for large fire spread. Instead of just dealing with these fires if they occurred, the intent was to be proactive and minimize the chance of such a fire occurring in the first place. To do so, we took two approaches: Create a long-term plan to shift the Park vegetation landscape toward one that would further mitigate the wildfire potential, and introduce the nationally established ideas of "defensible spacing" around homes.
As was seen during the development of Powell Butte's desired future condition, such a long-term plan helps to identify the steps that can be taken in the immediate future ro contribute to the overall, long-term intent of reducing wildfire conditions. After further discussions among the consultants, TAC, and CAC developed a plan that would reduce fire potential, aid in invasive weed eradication, and promote wildlife diversity.
The concept of "defensive spacing," creating a buffer zone around structures by reducing flammable materials, is not new and has always been seen by Portland Fire & Rescue as part of the answer to its urban wildfire interface. But there were legal hurdles that had always limited their efforts to encourage homeowners to approve such ideas. In 1994, Portland enacted Environmental Zoning "to protect resources and functional values that have been identified by the City as providing benefits to the public."6 This code restricts all alterations to the natural landscape within the designated "E-Zone" without a permit.7 Because of this restriction, any advocating for defensible spacing on private property within this E-Zone by Portland Fire would be in violation of the city's own code, and any discussion to effect changes to this city code had met with little progress.
This hurdle had been anticipated and planned for several months prior, during the discussions between project managers, consultants, and the TAC. To foster discussion about possible zoning changes, Portland city planners were invited to the discussion with CAC members about the need for defensible space and its conflict with current zoning codes. The planners warmly received these new ideas, resulting in new discussions and a strong likelihood of code changes within the near future. This new success can be directly attributed to the involvement of citizens in the discussion for increased wildfire risk reduction near residential areas.
After following the same process as for the previous two sites, the TAC and CAC, through many discussions, arrived at a long-term desired future condition for Forest Park. From this ultimate goal, specific projects were identified to begin meeting the need for wildfire mitigation (at right). Because of the scope and limited funding of the remaining grant monies, high priority was placed on those areas of the park with the greatest potential for fire--the neighboring commercial/industrial businesses, power line right-of-ways, and the most threatened homes. Suggested projects include a focus on defensible space creation (to be allowed within the near future), ladder fuel removal, and isolated prescriptive burning to reduce non-native surface fuels.
Wildfire is not a main concern for Portland Fire & Rescue, an urban fire department, as is true for many cities. The frequency of wildfire incidents does not dictate that the same time and training resources be spent on wildfire as compared to structure fires, vehicular incidents, or emergency medicine. But, in the extreme event of a larger wildfire in one of the urban green spaces, where dry conditions and weather events have created a fire risk to which Portland Fire & Rescue is unaccustomed, the department's typical reactive response, which is very effective for most types of incidents, could be ineffective and unsafe in these circumstances.
Everyone involved in this Wildfire Fuels Reduction project admit that each step has provided many lessons learned. Portland is not the only large metropolitan area in the country that responds to wildfires, but there are few larger cities that take such a proactive approach to wildfire planning within their city limits. The project results for each site have provided all city agencies with a better, more integrated plan for future wildfire mitigation work.
An added benefit of this in-depth look at wildfire prevention was Portland Fire & Rescue's assessment of its true capabilities for wildfire response. All participants saw this as a natural next step in the assessment process, which will be completed by Summer 2009. We will use the same format to make the assessment as objective as possible: outside technical experts, ranging from wildfire specialists to emergency preparedness officials, will gather to ask questions, promote discussion within the fire department, and offer suggestions. With the increasing frequency of and potential for wildfires in and around our region, a constructive discussion among the involved city officials will help clarify our response.
In an effort to limit Portland (OR) Fire & Rescue's future exposure to a possible wildfire, the best plan is to limit the possibility that an event will happen in the first place. This has been the intention of the FEMA's Wildfire Fuels Reduction project from the beginning. The plans developed for each site will help guide future work and greatly assist in many ways: limiting the potential for larger wildfires tthat would be difficult to handle with our fire resources and which would cause greater threat and harm to the public; assisting in the emergency response to smaller grass fires that tend to happen more frequently each summer; and improving the ecological characteristics of the city's parks and green spaces.
This forward thinking has necessitated some alteration of the "look" of the city's parks. But involving the public from the start has helped all involved better understand what the future vision is and secure the public's support for the Project's work because their voice has been heard. These successes are all part of a proactive willingness to cooperate and communicate between city agencies and the public before "the Big One" hits.

When I started work as the Clinton County Extension agriculture educator, I moved into an office already well stocked with books, fact sheets, binders and reference materials of all kinds.
File cabinets were full of the history of local agriculture, recommendations of experts long since retired and many years of accumulated knowledge. As the educational outreach arm of Cornell University's College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Cooperative Extension has been delivering the latest in research-based agricultural knowledge to New York farmers for 100 years.
But as agricultural research has evolved, so has its delivery method. No longer does information filter down to producers via weighty manuals or annually produced pamphlets, today's agricultural information travels at the speed of light via the Internet.
With the advent of the new technologies, farmers have often been slow adopters, sometimes by virtue of the relative distance from information centers, other times because resistance to change in the past has been the norm. As farmers become larger and require more information to operate profitably, new ways of doing things have become more acceptable.
Gone are the days when a farmer would call the county extension agent for answers to routine questions; now they can surf the net from a smart phone right from the tractor seat and find all sorts of information, some good and some not so good.
One of the drawbacks of random web searches is the abundance of poor information. A recent development in Cooperative Extension outreach is the web-based resource eXtension.org. A partnership of 74 universities, eXtension.org is an interactive learning environment offering researched-based knowledge from experts at institutions across America.
Professional educators from all over the country join together in this online community to develop resource areas for their field. Farmers researching just about any topic can use eXtension.org to find good quality information, ask questions of extension experts, search newsletters from around the country and watch archived webinars.

ANDERSON, Ind. —
Drug, alcohol and tobacco use among area public school students has led to hundreds of suspensions and expulsions in recent years.
In the past three school years for which the state has kept records, 568 students were suspended or expelled for drugs, alcohol or weapons, according to data from the Indiana Department of Education. They come from city high schools and rural elementary schools.
Anderson Community Schools had 89 students suspended or expelled for alcohol, drug or weapons violations. While the number is far more than any other area system, it is proportionally fewer incidents per 100 students than at some other local school districts.
And the number of ACS students suspended for drugs, alcohol or weapons has nearly been halved in the last few school years. In the 2005-2006 school year, 153 students were suspended or expelled for such violations.
"Generally the tack we take is a helpful intervention rather than a punitive one," said Beth Clark, manager of schools, programs and personnel for ACS.
Students caught smoking, for instance, might be offered smoking-cessation assistance. Likewise, first offenses for alcohol or drug possession or positive screenings might result in program referrals instead of suspension or expulsion.
"Treatment is much better than saying, 'you're gone, you're out of here,'" Clark said.
ACS students are subject to random drug and alcohol testing in middle and high school if they are involved in athletics, extracurricular activities or if they drive to school. Most area school systems have policies that randomly screen most or all students in upper grade levels.
While the rate of ACS students suspended or expelled for drugs, alcohol or weapons has declined, the school system remains troubled by student expulsions and suspensions.
The Indiana Department of Education reports that in 2007-2008, ACS had the sixth- highest rate of suspensions and expulsions of 294 school systems for which statistics were available. Statistically, alcohol, drugs or weapons were the reason in only about 5 percent of cases. Discipline issues and other violations of school policies were responsible for the majority.
South Madison Community Schools, the second largest in the county, also has the second highest number of students who have been suspended or expelled for drug, alcohol or weapons. Twenty-five students were suspended or expelled for those reasons — more than in the past two years.
In an unusual step, South Madison sent home a newsletter recently that included results of a survey of students who answered questions about alcohol, tobacco and drug use. It was part of an effort to build community partnerships aimed at reducing substance abuse.
"We just are concerned that parents need to be aware that we have a problem," said Sandra Hudson, South Madison's director of school improvement.
"Being higher than the state average on several categories — that's a concern for us," she said. "We're above the state average in 17 of the categories out of 28."
The survey of sixth-graders to seniors last school year asked how many had used alcohol, tobacco, marijuana or inhalants in the prior month.
On one level, Hudson said, the figures are reflective of Madison County, which has a higher rate of alcohol, tobacco and drug use than the state average, according to a 2009 County Epidemiological Profile.
On another level, she said, the survey results also revealed patterns among South Madison students. Sixth-, seventh- and 10th-graders reported monthly use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana and inhalants much higher than the state average. Seniors, meanwhile, were far below the average, and eighth-graders were at or below average on all measures.
"On our school policy, there is intervention for the first offense," Hudson said. "The student could avoid suspension."
Hudson said parents also should be aware that some students who abuse substances "fly under the radar. They're pretty smart about hiding things.
"We're also finding that prescription drugs, people will just raid the family medicine cabinet," she said.
Local school systems also include substance abuse education in the K-12 curriculum, as required by law, ACS's Clark said.

Pothole Patrol gets flooded with emails from drivers who's cars suffered damage after hitting potholes.
Getting a city, county or the state to pay for damage is never easy, but there are a few things you can do to help your case.
1. Take pictures of the pothole and the damage.
2. Document the incident and keep all receipts.
3. Find out if where the pothole was in order to make the claim with the correct municipality. Was it DeKalb, City of Atlanta, or was it on a GDOT state route?

Students of Finch Elementary School returned to their own school on Friday morning after officials found the cause of a carbon monoxide leak. Classed has been held at Kennedy Middle School since Tuesday.Students were greeted by teachers and administrators at the door. Firefighters and other first responders to Monday's carbon monoxide leak were also there to help reassure students. Representatives from Chick-Fil-A passed out breakfast to returning students.
Parents and students told FOX 5's Patty that they were glad to be back.
"It was a great time," said Tayanna Askew. School officials said during a press conference Thursday that human error was to blame for the leak which forced about 50 students and teachers to be taken to the hospital for treatment. All have since been released.
On Wednesday, school officials installed a mobile temporary boiler until a permanent one can be installed."I'm sure all the government inspectors did their job. It's probably the safest boiler in town because of what they did," said parent Jason Warneld. "It's unfortunate that it happened, but I think it's going to be alright.Authorities released 911 calls, which indicated the panic on Monday. CALLER: Students started passing out in one of our classrooms. The teacher is down on the floor and at least four of the students. CALLER: We have kids and students and we don't know what's going on. We need medical attention right now. School officials said that the new boiler will come in some time next weekend. The two maintenance workers are under investigation.
Firefighters are calling a man a hero after he helped save a family from a burning home in DeKalb County.

After a tough first half, it's not surprising that France wanted to make a change, and it's not surprising that they've chosen to substitute Eugenie Le Sommer into the game. She's been a very effective sub for Les Bleues in the Women's World Cup, and she had a fantastic season domestically in France. What is surprising, however, is that Marie-Laure Delie was the player taken off.
Delie's goal scoring record is absolutely impeccable, and she's great at dropping back into the midfield to link up with Louisa Necib. Becky Sauerbrunn outplayed her slightly in the first half, but Delie's performance wasn't poor enough that she needed to come out of the game. It's a very surprising move by Bruno Bini, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out. It's possible that he just felt his team needed fresh legs, above all else.

Texas races to transmit wind energy from Panhandle
(AP) - A $1.6 billion transmission system designed to bring Panhandle wind energy to power-hungry Central Texas may not be large enough to export all electricity generated by the turbines.
The Amarillo Globe-News (http://bit.ly/1ez22A2 ) reports on Sunday the Energy Reliability Council of Texas is looking at options for transmitting more wind energy.
ERCOT is reviewing new wind farms that would be capable of producing more than 11,000 megawatts of electricity. About 3,500 megawatts of that is meant to provide energy to Fort Worth, Austin and San Antonio.
But the nearly completed transmission system can only handle about 2,500 megawatts.
A new study is looking at the possibility of building more transmission facilities that would handle at least another 5,000 megawatts of power.
ERCOT estimates it has sufficient capacity until about 2015.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — INDIANAPOLIS — For the fifth consecutive summer, the Indianapolis Colts will call Anderson University their training camp home in 2014.
The news was announced Tuesday afternoon by team owner Jim Irsay on his Twitter account. Irsay also took the time to praise the city and its residents.
"The people in Anderson are so friendly and welcoming each summer," Irsay tweeted. "True blue Colts fans. Great city in the heartland!!!"
AU president James Edwards shares the owner's enthusiasm. The school served as summer host for the NFL team from its first season in Indiana in 1984 through Peyton Manning's rookie season of 1998.
The Colts trained at Rose-Hulman in Terre Haute from 1999 through 2009 and returned to Anderson to prepare for the 2010 season. This summer will mark the 20th training camp AU has hosted overall.
"We are really pleased for at least a couple of reasons," Edwards said. "First, this news comes a couple of months before we actually have to deliver. That allows us to be at our best. And the second reason is the Colts are really happy with this decision."
Indianapolis completed an 11-5 regular season with a 30-10 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. The Colts will host Kansas City (11-5) in an AFC wild-card playoff game on Saturday at 4:35 p.m.
The playoff appearance is the third in the four years since the team returned to train at AU, and the campus is the only professional training camp site record-setting quarterback Andrew Luck has ever known.
"Everybody feels great about the relationship," Edwards said. "And that's what it comes down to: human, personal relationships."
Training camp likely will begin in late July and last until mid-August. In previous years, local economic officials have estimated the camp's impact at $6 million.
Last year's training camp drew more than 40,000 fans across 15 practice days.
"Andersonians have the greatest admiration for the Colts organization," mayor Kevin Smith said in a city press release, "and we're proud Anderson University offers such high-quality facilities which I believe contributes to the Colts being the greatest team in the NFL."

As a child I was very fortunate that my parent took us on extremely nice vacations. Since then, having always had a fascination with the west, it was my biggest desire to return to Lake Tahoe. After all who couldn't be a fan of the west and not be a fan of Bonanza? If you pay attention to the opening scene, the background of the majestic mountains is beautiful Lake Tahoe, where in fact the Ponderosa was built.
Taking the ski lift in the center of town is a must. At the top is a glorious, breathtaking view of the magnificent snow capped mountains and the blue sparkling bed of water filled from streams of melted snow from those mountains, complete with a blue sky background sprinkled with a few white clouds. What an amazing scene.
And if you're a big fan of the old west you can take a trip into the past to Virginia City. There, you'll see stage coaches, old fashion trains, and spittoon saloons. Or you can take a day and go whitewater rafting. Or go west for the day and take in beautiful Yosemite. Or just sit on the beaches of the great Lake Tahoe.
Lake Tahoe is a great destination year round. I suggest everyone experience Lake Tahoe at least once in their life…I know it's someplace you will want to return to again someday.
Come back to the RCI Blog this week to check out photos from RCI members who have traveled to Lake Tahoe. Do you have any tips for what to do or where to go while vacationing in Lake Tahoe? If so, please comment below.

A poll released by the campaign of shows him deadlocked with in the race for the seat in the Nov. 6 general election.
Prepared by the Washington based Normington Petts, the survey of 400 likely voters shows Dold and Schneider with 39 percent of the vote each with 22 percent undecided. There is a 4.9 percent margin of error, according to the memo provided by the pollster.
After asking the respondents their preference, people were then given one statement of information about both Schneider and Dold and asked for their preference again, according to Jill Normington of Normington Petts.
After hearing the information, Schneider had the support of 48 percent of those sampled, Dold was preferred by 41 percent and only 11 percent remained uncertain.
People were told Dold is in his first term in the House of Representatives, operated a successful small business before running for Congress, favors a tax policy that will help create jobs, wants to see less government spending and tried to work with Democrats among other things, according to Normington.
Schneider, respondents were told, wants to help small business and middle class people be successful, according to Normington. He also wants to preserve Medicare and protect the environment.
According to Normington, respondents were told both candidates intend to preserve a women's right to choose, live with their families on the North Shore and have an MBA from Northwestern University.
Of the 400 likely voters selected, Normington concentrated on people who voted in the 2004 and 2008 Presidential elections taking 64.5 percent from the remaining parts of the former District, 30.5 percent from those who were formerly in the 8th District and five percent from the section that was once part of the 9th.
"There are approximately 100,000 less people who vote in non Presidential years," Normington said.
Representatives of the Dold campaign did not respond to questions from Patch before deadline.

At Pratt, an Award for Thom Browne, and a Stage for New Talents-------
Little-known fact: Pratt Institute boasts America's longest-running fashion-education program. With alums such as Betsey Johnson and Jeremy Scott, Pratt reps a unique vanguard in the world of design—and last night, at its 114th annual senior fashion show, some talented new names were added to its stable.
Pratt headlines its yearly runways with the bestowal of its Visionary Award—an accolade honoring fashion-world luminaries, who needn't be directly linked to the school. Last night's recipient? The singular Thom Browne. "It's overwhelming," Browne told Style.com, "when you get to do what you do, and have an important institution, with such a strong reputation in the world of design, recognize it, it's…it's humbling." Presenting the award, Hamish Bowles teased his friend. Referring to Browne's growth over the aughts, he said, "Thom became something of a performance piece himself, a one-man Gilbert & George, in his stiff, tailored buttoned-up suits with the odd proportions." Expect to see the designer in exactly this silhouette at the Costume Institute's upcoming Met Ball—though likely with a punk twist. "I'm going with Taylor Tomasi Hill," Browne revealed with a smile.
After the ceremony, it was on to the show, where front-rowers, including Fern Mallis, Bill Cunningham, and Bibhu Mohapatra, were treated to a lineup heavy on digital prints, washed-out pastels, a lot of white, and ultra-long silhouettes. Two designers stood out in particular: Raya Kassisieh (above, left), with her sometimes soft, sometimes sharp Brave New World brides ("It's kind of like nouveau Mugler," whispered Patrick McMullan), and Madeline Gruen (above, right), with her indigo colonial toile prints and glittering embroideries that blended humor with notes of Alexander McQueen and Liberace. Gruen won the night's other big prize—a $25,000 grant funded by the Liz Claiborne Art Ortenberg Foundation.

The Cardinals officially signed former Chiefs QB Brodie Croyle on Wednesday and waived/injured QB Max Hall.
The team also signed P Dave Zastudil and released OT Jake Vermiglo.
PFW correspondent and Arizona Republic writer Kent Somers reported Tuesday that the Cards were set to sign Croyle, who spent five seasons with K.C. The Cardinals need QB depth behind Kevin Kolb, as John Skelton has a high ankle sprain.
Hall has a shoulder injury. In his rookie season, Hall started three games for Arizona. He threw one touchdown and six interceptions.
Zastudli is a 10-year veteran who spent the 2010 season on injured reserve.

However, don't overlook the food! Instead of serving a standard buffet or boring chicken, use the food to showcase your culinary style as a couple. Are you crazy about barbecue? Offer a down-home menu of ribs, brisket, and beans. Catering the meal to suit your taste buds is just one way to personalize the food at your reception. Keep reading for 10 more awesome suggestions. Photos by Olivia Leigh via Style Me Pretty Pour a signature drink. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Instead of having an open bar, offer one (or an array) of signature drinks. Select your favorite drink or a cocktail that's meaningful to you as a couple. Did he propose while you were sipping margaritas in Mexico? Serve them at the wedding. A giant bowl of punch or drink dispenser filled with sangria are other options. If hard alcohol isn't your thing, offer wines that are significant to you. Is your groom's mother Chilean? Pour a Chilean white. Did you first declare love for each other while on a trip to Italy? Pour an Italian red. Photos by Neysa Ruhl Photography via Style Me Pretty 1 / 10 Have your favorite restaurant cater the reception. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 You'd be surprised by how many restaurants offer catering services. If you're a regular at a local place, approach the manager and find out if they do weddings. A girlfriend did this for her wedding, and she worked with the chef to create a menu that was both vegetarian and carnivore friendly! Another idea would be to select a favorite cuisine and find a local food truck that serves this type of food. Have them cater your wedding meal. Source 2 / 10 Write out the menu. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Your guests need to know what they are eating, so if you're going to do a menu, why not make it special? Are you teachers? Set up several large chalkboards and write the menu in chalk. Getting hitched at a museum? Paint the menu on canvas and place them around the reception location. For those who prefer something more elegant and formal, print the menus on beautiful paper and put one on each plate. A menu can also double as a place card. Photos by Jose Villa via Style Me Pretty 3 / 10 Offer comfort food as appetizers. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pigs-in-a-blankets, grilled cheese sandwiches, popcorn, macaroni and cheese — serve your favorite comfort foods for appetizers.

It's unexpected, casual, and will force guests to mingle tableside. That single girlfriend you're trying to hook up with your fiancé's golf buddy? She'll be forced to ask him to pass the Caprese salad — mission accomplished! Photos by Sedona Bride via Style Me Pretty 6 / 10 Offer miniature versions of your favorite foods. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Many couples don't want to host a sit-down dinner. If that's the case, serve your favorite dishes in mini! Who can resist trays covered with slivers of pizza, bite-sized quiche, and teeny BLTs? Photos by Paul Rich via Style Me Pretty 6 / 10 Skip the cake. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Not everyone loves cake and if it's not your thing, don't serve it at your wedding! There are so many extraordinary desserts out there: pie, ice cream, brownies, crème brûlée, etc. Finish the meal with your preferred dessert.

Surprise them with a late-night snack like mini sandwiches, cones with french fries or shot glasses of soup. One of my girlfriends decided to surprise her groom with White Castle-style sliders at midnight. It's his favorite fast food burger joint, so it was a nice personal touch. Another idea: have a food truck come late night! Photos by Oh How Charming via Style Me Pretty 8 / 10 Give an edible favor. What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't give your guests a useless favor. Opt for a delicious edible treat that they can savor the following morning, or even in the weeks to come. A serve-yourself candy bar doubles as decoration, while homemade muffins wrapped individually in cellophane are a wonderful next-day breakfast. Other ideas? Jam, honey, and pickles!

By PAUL DAVENPORT
Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - The real estate broker marketing a Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Phoenix home that had been slated for demolition says a purchase agreement for the property has fallen through.
Broker Robert Joffe said Monday that he'll put the home on the market again for the previously listed price of nearly $2.4 million and contact other potential buyers.
Joffe says the buyer's representatives cited unspecified personal and business reasons for not proceeding with the purchase.
The purchase agreement was announced a week after Joffe listed the home for sale Oct. 22 on behalf of a development company.
The company's representatives have said it wasn't aware of the home's background when it bought the property.
The home dates from the early 1950s. Wright designed it for his son and daughter-in-law.

This cruise was a mixture of "good" and "not so good" in my book.
NCL's claim to fame is the "Free Style Cruising". I DO like the fact that you can go to the dining room at 8:05pm for dinner and get a table..but I miss the personalized service of the other cruise lines. We were surprised that the waiters and staff never introduced themselves..they seemed really "uninterested" in the cruisers. They forgot a side dish or to bring something you asked for to the table and then just seemed uninterested if you asked them twice for it...almost hoping that you would just drop it. Sad. Also, we never saw our stateroom attendant. We didn't have any special requests..just would have been nice to see him/her. In the bar in the casino we had to constantly waive down a waiter to get a drink. They seemed content to stand by the bar and talk to the bartender all night. I don't know if this has to do with NCL's "tipping" system. NCL added a $12 per day/per passenger fee to cover the staff's tips. I agree that this is a GOOD thing, because it stops the "cheap" people from not tipping the staff, which is a MAJOR problem on other cruise lines that leave it up to the passengers to tip on the last night. BUT..does this mean that the staff knows that they will be tipped either way, so why be polite or why try?? We couldn't figure this out. The private Island of Great Stirrup Key was fantastic and the port of Nassau was fun! Bring cash for shopping in Nassau..there is so much to buy! Just a heads up. If you want to go to Atlantis and use their pool/slides and amenities..there are 2 prices. The first price of $150.00 per person is through the cruise line. The 2nd price is $110.00 if you go directly to Atlantis and buy a pass there. If any cabbies tell you its $25.00 per person...they aren't telling the truth. We heard from many of the cabbies that wanted to give us a ride over to Atlantis that it was $25.00 per person..long story short, they would say any price to get you to take their taxi anywhere! LOL
Getting off the ship was great. We left our cabin at 8am. Brought our luggage with us to the dining room. Had a good breakfast, then got off the ship with our luggage by 9:30am. No long lines and no designated time to get off the ship if we wanted to.
So I guess that this is a good/not so good review for NCL. If you are looking for the personal service from the staff and are okay with a dinner seating at a certain time, then the other cruise lines are for you. BUT if you are looking for a cruise with no set schedules and a staff that really doesn't talk to you, then NCL is good for you.

Brock Jensen passed for a career-high 313 yards and three touchdowns to lead No. 1-ranked North Dakota State to a 41-26 win over Missouri State before a record crowd of 19,108 at Gate City Bank Field at the Fargodome in the annual homecoming game.
Jensen was 20-for-28 and completed passes to 10 different receivers including Zach Vraa, who caught touchdown passes of 36 and 23 yards and totaled five catches for a career-high 179 yards. Kevin Vaadeland scored on a 33-yard pass on his only catch of the day.
North Dakota State (6-0, 3-0 MVFC) jumped out to a 10-0 lead on Ryan Smith's 85-yard punt return touchdown and Adam Keller's 33-yard field goal. It was Smith's third career punt return TD, which leads all active players in the Football Championship Subdivision.
Missouri State (1-6, 1-2 MVFC) took the lead in the second quarter on 47- and 21-yard field goals from Marcelo Bonani and a 65-yard passing play from Kierra Harris to Julian Burton that gave the Bears a 13-10 advantage.
NDSU answered with a six-play, 73-yard drive highlighted by a 52-yard strike to Vraa and capped by Sam Ojuri's 2-yard run. The Bison went ahead 24-13 by halftime when Christian Dudzik returned an interception 29 yards to the Missouri State 36 to set up Vraa's first TD.
The Bears were still hanging around after strong safety Caleb Schaffitzel returned his seventh career interception 19 yards for a touchdown to make it 24-20 early in the third quarter. Schaffitzel set a new MSU record for interception return yards with 235.
Vraa's second touchdown gave the Bison a 31-20 lead midway through the third quarter, and Jordan Champion forced a Missouri State fumble on the next possession. Dudzik recovered the loose ball and Vaadeland scored on NDSU's first play to give the Bison a 38-20 lead.
Middle linebacker Grant Olson led the NDSU defense with 10 tackles and had two quarterback hurries and a pass breakup. Zach Colvin, Travis Beck and Colten Heagle had six tackles apiece with Beck getting a half sack and two breakups. Dudzik finished with four tackles and a breakup to go with his interception and fumble recovery.
Harris was 10-for-20 and passed for 189 yards for Missouri State before leaving with an injury late in the second quarter. Ashton Glaser was 9 of 13 for 71 yards all in the second half. Mikael Cooper-Falls rushed 13 times for 29 yards as the Bears gained just 45 yards rushing.
North Dakota State is at Southern Illinois for a 2 p.m. kickoff next Saturday, Oct. 19. The Salukis (3-3, 1-1 MVFC) had a 14-0 halftime lead at Northern Iowa.

Ten families are without homes Sunday evening after their apartment complex went up in flames.Eight families went to stay with friends and relatives two others were sent to a local hotel. Channel 3 caught up with Harold Walters, who says he's unsure of what's next for him as he waits for word as to when he can return home. "I was afraid I was going to lose everything I had," said Walters.Walters has lived in the Ravencroft Apartments for nearly 22 years. He says it's usually pretty quiet. However, last night he was awoken by management telling him there was a fire and he needed to get out."Fortunately they got us out in time. The management did a great job motivating us to get out," said Walters.
Walters says the fire happened at the opposite end from his apartment, which he believes only suffered from smoke damage. "This was just a situation that just because they were in an apartment and a fire happened in or around their unit, they were affected," said Greg Waite, American Red Cross Executive Director.However, others in the complex might not have been as lucky.Waite tells Channel 3 they encourage anyone who rents, especially apartments, to invest in renters insurance so in cases like this one, when a fire happens, you won't be footing the bill."Insurance really comes in and is vital when for those people to ensure they can get new furniture, they can get new clothes," said Waite.Walters says he's had renters insurance for a little over a year and plans to keep it."I'm glad I did it. It's an individual decision for each person, it may never happen, but it happened to me twice," said Walters.Walters says if he's unlucky enough for it to happen the third time, he will still be prepared and he hopes everyone else is too.The American Red Cross has lots of tips on how you can better prepare yourself in case of a fire in the home.For those tips, click here.
