LEVEL 1 is an introduction-to-water class and is for beginners who have never had any lessons before. The main goal is to help children get comfortable in the water.
LEVEL 2 is a basic water class and children should already be comfortable in the water. This class teaches children to float and swim short distances on both front and back, with and without the assistance of a float belt.
LEVEL 3 is an intermediate class that focuses on stroke technique. Students in level 3 are expected to swim 15 yards independently and have the ability to do some freestyle and backstroke.
LEVEL 4 is an intermediate-advanced class that covers all four of the competitive strokes. These students are working toward longer distances required for team and pre-team classes.
LEVEL 5 (or Pre-Team) is an advanced class for students who are working toward a swim team or want the challenge of a team without the commitment. Starts, turns and basic team knowledge are taught in conjunction with stroke technique.
NOTE: In addition to the strokes, safety around the water is also discussed in each level.
Private and semi-private lessons are available upon request for any age and any skill level to both members and non-members. Semi-private requests can be made for up to six students in one class. The outline for private and semi-private lessons comes from the student or the student's parent and their desires for what they want to accomplish during their lesson times. Both private and semi-private lessons are purchased in packages of 6 lessons.

The darker side of the Gift of LifeDecember 11,2013With the Gift of Life Marathon movement in full swing, I cant help but wonder why nobody is speaking out about eligibility guidelines for giving blood.
Im beyond thrilled by the community motivation to break the national record and save thousands of lives. But Im disappointed that no one is shedding light on the homophobic ban on blood donations, because the reality is that in 2013 more than 30 years after the AIDS scare of the 1980s giving the Gift of Life is still a heterosexual privilege.
Not everyone knows this, but because of a regulation from the Food and Drug Administration, no man who has had sex with another man since 1977 can donate blood at any point in his lifetime. No waiting period, no excuses, no exceptions. The regulation came about during the AIDS scare in the 1980s back when people knew much less about HIV, had much less technology to screen blood for it, and the general public thought was that AIDS was a disease for gay people and African-Americans. Public mentality has changed, but it hasnt changed enough.
In 2006, the American Red Cross, along with two medical groups, made a joint recommendation that the Food and Drug Administration reverse this lifetime ban for gay and bisexual men, calling the rule medically and scientifically unwarranted. The groups pointed out inconsistencies with other high-risk social groups and told them they were misinterpreting their statistics. The Red Cross was right, but the FDA didnt buckle.
Fast forward to 2013. The upcoming Gift of Life Marathon blood drive is sponsored by the American Red Cross which is forced to follow FDA regulations, whether they like it or not. Fast forward to the rampant radio ads and newsletters asking people to donate blood. Fast forward to the 17-year-old gay kids who arent out yet hearing those ads and wondering how they can tell their friends why they arent joining the cause.
Fast forward to Dec. 17. Youre sitting in a lawn chair with a needle in you. Feeling like a true community servant, you look around to see who else joined you. But there are no gay men. There are no bisexual men. There are no men with non-traditional sexual histories.
This isnt right.
Its truly remarkable how the Rutland area can come together to do community service, but with a large community event like this, we also need to make a large commitment to standing up against homophobic regulations.
So heres what Im asking: If you are fortunate enough to be eligible to donate blood, be an ally to men who have sex with men. Write to the Food and Drug Administration, and tell them to end their illogical, homophobic regulation against men who have sex with men. Tell them that their all-out ban does nothing more than alienate gay and bisexual men from the rest of our community, and thats not OK with Rutland County.
Tell them its 2013, and its time to adhere to modern medicine. Tell them were trying to set a record here, and they need to get their acts together.
We can say we were the first to implement a form of marriage equality, and we can point out that we give spousal benefits to same-sex partners. We can shatter this blood drive record in the faces of the entire country, and we save more lives than any region across the nation. But if were not willing to speak out against medically unsound homophobia, we cant really be heroes.

Handle everything in one place
Love the app, however I do not like the "offers". Can't seem to delete the ones I looked at. I am willing to pay for the app to stop the advertising.
I love how it keeps everything organized and reminds me when stuff is due, but my only problem is the inability to rename subaccounts. I have 3 different cards through Chase, so "Chase" appearing 3 times inside of the menus without a clue as to which are what is slightly annoying. This is a rather minor complaint in an amazing app, though.
This is a great app for organization of finances.
Very useful for tracking all your bills

Luke Landry pushed the throttle down and the Skeeter bay boat leaped across the water like a dolphin chasing mullet. We roared over the grass flats, cut down creeks and wound through narrow canals so fast that in ten minutes I was completely lost. The labyrinth of waterways near Port Sulphur, Louisiana, at the mouth of the Mississippi River in Barataria Bay, looks more like largemouth-bass country than redfish heaven. In fact, when Luke finally shut down and lowered his bow-mounted electric motor, I noticed that the clear water around us was jammed with weeds that looked like something you'd see in a fresh water pond.
"Hey, are we bass fishing or red fishing?" I smiled as schools of mullet and sheepshead darted ahead of the boat.
"Actually, there are largemouths in here sometimes," Luke replied. "But we need a lot of rain to freshen the water for that to happen. Right now it's salty and great for redfish - like that one right there."
In the clear water, the red's spotted tail was easy to see, and Luke dropped his single-blade spinnerbait just beyond and in front of the cruising fish. He started a slow retrieve and the red darted forward and grabbed the lure.While the red was only a five-pounder, it took Luke several minutes to bring it alongside the boat.
For a moment I thought we might have gotten lucky, but I quickly spotted a trio of cruising reds as Luke guided the boat closer. I cast to the left of the fish while Luke cast right, and moments later we scored a double-header.
Ideal Location
That's the way things continued until about 10:00 a.m., when Luke announced that we needed to head back to the launch ramp, moments after I'd just caught my second red on a streamer fly. "If we're going to run offshore tonight for tuna, we'd better get back," he explained. "We got ten redfish anyway, and the tuna bite has been red hot. It's an all-night deal, and it takes a while to get the boat and gear ready to run offshore."
So we left the redfish biting and headed back to the ramp, hauled the boat and drove five minutes to our base camp, Cajun Adventures Lodge. Owned and operated by Ryan Lambert, Cajun Adventures is a well-run operation resulting from Lambert's 18 years of guiding in the area. The lodge has great food, a pool, outstanding accommodations and full-time guides. Furthermore, its location allows anglers to sample a wide array of fishing venues and species, making it one of the most unique lodges I've visited, especially in the U.S.
When Luke and I got back to the lodge, Chris Helveston and his brother, Billy, were waiting for us with their 29-foot center-console catamaran in tow. Powered by twin Hondas, the boat is perfect for running far offshore for night tuna action. We were joined by Jeff Moore of Quantum Tackle, who wanted to try out some new rods and reels on heavyweight tuna.
Casting to Yellowfins
We loaded the boat with tackle, ice and all manner of gear for an overnight excursion, then drove 30 minutes south to the town of Venice. There we launched the boat, and by late afternoon we were skimming over the Gulf toward our destination, a floating oil platform 85 miles offshore in 3,000 feet of water.
"The tuna bite has been incredible all summer," Chris explained as we raced along. "We'll get there just about sundown, perfect for getting our bearings and rigging up for an all-night tuna extravaganza."
And that's just the way it worked out. We arrived at the rig about an hour before sunset, allowing plenty of time to get our tackle in order and prepare for the after-hours show.
A pair of huge workboats were connected to the floating oil rig to help maintain its position in the current. Initially, I thought the boats would impair our ability to fish around the platform, but when darkness fell and they turned on their many bright lights, it became obvious where the best fishing was going to be.
I expected trolling to be the order of the night, but Chris and Billy had other ideas. "The tuna and dolphin come up and chase flying fish, and we cast large, plastic flying-fish imitations to them," Billy explained. "We use 80-pound braided line and heavy fluorocarbon shock leaders, and it's some kind of tough action. You'll see."
Shortly after dark, flying fish began breaking the surface around workboat lights. Billy or Chris would hold the catamaran between the two larger vessels, then idle over to an area where the tuna popped up. Once within casting range, we'd lob our flying-fish lures, start a surface retrieve and hook a big, mean yellowfin.
If you've never felt an 80-pound yellowfin slam a surface lure on no-stretch braided line, you haven't really experienced a bone-jarring strike. We were into yellowfins all night, with sporadic action provided by large blackfin tuna and dolphin. The yellowfins weighed from 20 pounds to well over 100, and many of the bigger fish could simply not be stopped. We had roughly 50 strikes on the cast lures, missing many of the fish, but catching a lot too. The best fish landed was an 80-pounder caught by Jeff Moore. It was a long, rugged, fish-filled night, and by dawn everyone was tired and aching from fighting fish.
A Trout Spot
We got back to lodge by mid-morning, whereupon everyone collapsed from exhaustion. By early afternoon, however, Jeff was raring to go again, so he, guide Davey Miles and I decided to make a short afternoon trip for seatrout. We launched in Barataria Bay and ran 15 minutes to a spot near the open Gulf.
Davey positioned the boat near a small cut between a pair of grass islands, where he said the trout would be dining on bait swept in with clear Gulf water. Sure enough, Jeff's first cast with a grub-tailed jig resulted in a two-pound seatrout, and Davey hooked one immediately afterward. I finally got a jig to the spot and we had a triple-header.
We worked the area for two hours, catching about 40 seatrout. None topped four pounds, but few weighed less than a pound - average school trout, which Davey said are common in the area from spring through fall.
As the summer sun settled into the Gulf of Mexico, Davey pointed the bow toward the ramp. We hauled the boat and got back to Cajun Adventures Lodge just as dinner was being served - redfish fillets with a shrimp and crab sauce. It's Ryan Lambert's recipe, and redfish never tasted better!
I was slated to leave the next day, but Keith Goodin, a visiting guide from Mississippi who also works with the Skeeter boat company, said he had located some bull redfish just a short run from the Venice ramp.
"The fish were thick today in some sheltered bays. We caught ten or 12, and they wore us out," he explained. "We left them biting because we couldn't physically catch any more. Don't think we had a red under 25 pounds, and some were well over 40 pounds. It's all casting, mostly jigs below popping corks in water just a few feet deep. I think we could get on 'em at dawn and be back by late morning if you wanna go."
It was an offer I couldn't refuse.
Pop a Giant Red
By 7:00 a.m. the next day I was casting a popping cork with a 1/4-ounce jig dangling three feet below it. The bay opened onto the open Gulf, and we could see big oil rigs in the distance. "I don't know why big reds are here, and only big reds," Keith said as he lobbed a cast with a heavy plug rod. "They're either here for spawning or getting ready to spawn. There's a lot of bait here, and the reds are aggressive.
"The popping cork attracts the fish," Keith said as he worked his rod to make the cork chug across the surface. "Then you stop the retrieve a moment to let the jig settle, then pop it again." At that moment, Keith's cork disappeared in a swirl the size of a basketball backboard.
Keith hung on as the heavy redfish pulled line against his baitcasting gear. He worked the fish close to the boat several times, only to have it muscle away on another run. After 20 minutes he was able to net the exhausted red and held it high for a few photos before releasing it. We guessed its weight at 35 pounds.
Later, I scored a similar-sized red and Keith caught another, while the anglers in the half dozen boats around us all caught big fish, too. I hated to leave such great fishing, but by mid-morning the sun was getting hot and I had a long drive ahead of me.
"What do you say we head in?" I asked Keith, feeling guilty for dragging him away from such a hot bite. "Sure," he replied. "These fish will be here tomorrow when I come back, or next week for that matter. Seems like there's always plenty of reds, seatrout or something biting in Cajun country."
After my trip to Cajun Adventures Lodge, I can't argue with that!

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) -- Striker Obafemi Martins scored once and set up two goals to lead Levante to a 4-0 win over visiting Mallorca in the Spanish league on Sunday.
The Nigeria international opened the scoring two minutes before halftime when he latched on to Nabil El Zhar's long pass over the defense and poked it under goalkeeper Duda Aouate.
Martins then combined twice with Ruben Garcia on the break for Garcia to double the lead in the 48th. David Navarro headed in Levante's third goal in the 55th.
Martins helped cap the win three minutes later when he stole the ball inside Mallorca's area and passed for Navarro to set up Vicente Iborra's goal.
Levante's victory lifted it into sixth place.
Mallorca is in danger of falling into the relegation zone after its 10th game without a victory.
Also, Aritz Aduriz's 33rd-minute header gave Athletic Bilbao a 1-0 home win over Celta Vigo as the Basques kept their first clean sheet in seven rounds.
The victory left Bilbao in 13th place, six points above the drop zone. It was Celta's first loss in four rounds.
League leader Barcelona visits Real Betis later Sunday, after second-place Atletico Madrid hosts Deportivo La Coruna.
On Saturday, it was: Valladolid 2, Real Madrid 3; Malaga 4, Granada 0; Real Sociedad 1, Getafe 1; and Osasuna 0, Valencia 1.
Sevilla drew 2-2 at Espanyol on Friday. Rayo Vallecano hosts Real Zaragoza on Monday.

Cierra Burdick fractures bone in hand, out indefinitely
Sophomore injured doing extra work
Working overtime on New Year's Eve didn't work to Cierra Burdick's benefit.
Tennessee's sophomore forward suffered a fractured bone — specifically the fourth metacarpal — in her right hand on Monday, said Jenny Moshak, UT's associate director of sports medicine. Burdick was in the gym, doing extra shooting and working on defense when the injury occurred. The team did not hold an official practice.
Evaluation of the injury is ongoing, and Burdick is out indefinitely. She will miss the Lady Vols' SEC women's basketball opener at No. 18 South Carolina (11-1) Thursday (TV: SportSouth, 9 p.m.).
The injury deprives No. 12 Tennessee (9-3) of a player who's started 11 of 12 games this season. The 6-foot-2 Burdick is the team's fourth-leading scorer at 8.8 points per game. She's third in rebounds per game at 6.5. She's had two double-doubles this season, including last Friday against Davidson (10 points, 10 rebounds).
"I feel for Cierra and I feel for this team," UT coach Holly Warlick said in a statement. "She's a vital part of our success, but this is a team sport, and somebody is just going to have to step up."
Senior Taber Spani is a candidate to replace Burdick in the starting lineup.
"It's a tough time (for the injury), as we're getting ready to head into SEC play, but we'll get her back," Warlick said. "We're going to have to deal with
it and stay positive."
Despite Burdick's injury, Tennessee's roster still will be nine players deep on Thursday. Guard Jasmine Phillips, who hasn't played since Nov. 25, will be available for duty.
Phillips was sidelined after the Alcorn State game to get her academics in order. The 5-10 sophomore returned to practice after the first semester ended but hadn't return to play. Regardless of Burdick's injury, Warlick had intended to bring back Phillips for Thursday's game.
"I think she's a great defender," Warlick said before Tuesday's team practice. "I think she's stayed in decent shape. Obviously, she's going to be a little rusty because she hasn't played in a while but from a defensive standpoint she'll give us a little extra bonus of somebody who can defend the basketball."
After shortening the bench a bit during last Sunday's win against Rutgers, Warlick said she was inclined to play the reserves more against South Carolina.
"I think it's going to be a physical game, very demanding as far as being in shape," Warlick said. "Yeah, I anticipate playing a lot of people."

As technology advances so do the different types of workout equipment. From outdoor to indoor machines, man is ever on the quest to build the perfect machine to shed those extra pounds and keep the body healthy. After pouring over lists of the upgraded same old machines, here are the top 5 that are truly different and revolutionary.
Available in two models, the StreetStrider is the next generation of ellipticals, but instead of being stationary, these ellipticals are attached to three wheels and are meant to be enjoyed outdoors. Comprised of two moving handles, a brake system and footpads, these machines work just like bikes. Because of this, these machines are great for individuals that want to go out for a run, but need a low-impact way to do so.
Desk Treadmill
Designed for the office goers, the desk treadmill is exactly that: a treadmill meant to be used at work. It is the answer to decreasing back pain caused by sitting all day. Most come with a built in desk to support your computer, coffee and other work paraphernalia. The treadmill part is designed to only hit a max of 12mph to keep things active without taking away any focus. Some even come with slight inclines for a decreased hit to the joints.
Power Plate
The Power Plate is a destabilization machine consisting of handles attached to a platform that vibrates 25 to 50 times per second and moves up and down, side to side, and front and backward. This coupled with performing an exercise such as step ups or running in places on the platform, increases the difficulty of the exercise forcing the user to work harder to maintain balance and control.
Hybrid Trainers
Providing users with two completely different options of workout combined with preset workout routines, the hybrid trainers are a dream for any that want more than just one machine for an affordable amount. Beginners can start strictly on the bike and, as they become more advanced, can progress to using the elliptical, a machine that takes a lot more coordination and balance than the bike.
Tour de France Pro
As the official training bike of the Tour de France, this stationary bike has every new feature imaginable to make it a step above the competition. With a screen that provides a street view as provided by Google maps, magnetic resistance to decrease the machine's sound, a 20% incline and decline as well as a built-in power meter, many users could easily mistake this bike to be a fully interactive video game console.
Combining aerobic and strength training, the new type of rower is dual action. Still consisting of a slide, bungee and footpads, the handles can be lifted upward while the user stands above the resistance portion of the machine. This is an ideal combination as users can get one of the best cardio exercises around while being able to condition themselves without investing in additional pieces of equipment.
Whether a new twist on an older machine or a fully optimized piece of technology, exercise equipment is becoming so much more than free weights and rowers. Getting fit today is no longer the chore it once was. These new revolutions in exercise are transforming the landscape, turning an often times unachievable dream into verifiable reality, no matter the person's limitations.

The North Carolina House gave initial approval Wednesday to a budget plan through mid-2015 that Republicans contend advances reform and responsibility but that Democrats say harms citizens recklessly.
The Republican-led House voted 77-41 to adopt the proposal written mostly by its leaders after seven hours of debate and votes on more than 25 amendments that made few adjustments to the measure.
An amendment to remove a provision that would create private school grants for thousands of school children starting this fall was defeated after impassioned debate on the condition of the public schools. Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, gave a rare floor speech to preserve the "opportunity scholarship" program within the budget.
A final House vote on the full budget was expected Thursday, three weeks after the Republican-controlled Senate approved its proposal, which spends almost exactly the same amount as the House, or nearly $20.6 billion. But the two chambers differ in dozens of ways on how to spend the money. The two chambers should begin negotiations in earnest next week with the aim of getting a compromise to the end of the month to Republican Gov. Pat McCrory, who will have a role in negotiations.
Rep. Nelson Dollar, R-Wake and senior co-chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, said the 300-plus page plan builds on the new governor's call for retooling and reorganizing state government. The bill sets aside money for McCrory's transportation funding initiative and provides the first step toward him creating a new nonprofit corporation to perform many Commerce Department duties.
"We think that the spirit of reform has come to our state capital," Dollar told colleagues. "We feel like our budget has caught the winds of reform."
A top Democratic leader said the measure reflects the determination of Republicans to provide tax cuts to the rich. The bill envisions the loss of roughly $300 million to pay for a tax overhaul, the details of which passed the House in another bill earlier this week. Republicans have released data that they say shows most taxpayers will get a tax break.
"The real victims in this budget are the middle-class families," said House Minority Leader Larry Hall, D-Durham, adding the tax reductions mean no money for employee pay raises and less money for public school teacher assistants. "This budget is not responsible to the people of North Carolina. It's not responsible to the children of North Carolina."
Reps. Bill Brisson of Bladen County and Ken Waddell of Columbus County were the only two Democrats to vote Wednesday for the budget.
Rep. Robert Brawley of Iredell County was the only Republican to vote no. Brawley publicly aired a dispute with Tillis on other matters recently and resigned from his finance committee chairmanship.
The chambers' competing budget proposals for next year are within $12 million of each other, and both set aside $1.2 billion over two years to cover rising Medicaid costs. Budget-writers said those requirements prevented them from expanding programs elsewhere, such as providing pay increases to teachers and state employees.
But the plans disagree significantly on spending levels for the public schools and the University of North Carolina system.
While the House favors spending $118 million more than the Senate on salaries for teacher assistants in early grades, the Senate version attempts to do away with a recent requirement that school districts return hundreds of millions of dollars annually to the state as a cost-cutting measure.
The House also would require the UNC system to find an additional $77 million in spending reductions across its 17 campuses and administration. The House budget also would create a new program designed to encourage lower-performing students admitted to a UNC school to attend community college for two years before enrolling to boost graduation rates and encourage spending.
House Republicans rejected a Democratic floor amendment to prevent tuition at a handful of UNC campuses from rising a proposed 12.3 percent in 2014-15. The amendment would have lowered the tuition increase to 6 percent at all campuses.
The House budget would spend $8 million to address the potential loss of personal care services through Medicaid for as many as 2,000 group home residents in danger of losing that coverage at the end of the month due to federally mandated requirements. But the House proposal only covers one year. The Senate provided no such solution in its budget.
Both chambers would close several prisons and juvenile justice facilities to reflect declining offender populations, but the spending plans differ slightly on which ones should be shuttered.

Skinner and Jones triumph at Kingston Breakfast Run
Updated 3:27pm Tuesday 25th March 2014 in Sport
Winner: Blackheath and Bromley athlete Michael Skinner, centre, won the Breakfast Run 16-mile race on Sunday with Ben Shearer, right, in second and Ed Catmur, left, in third
Whole Foods Market Breakfast Run winner Michael Skinner revealed local knowledge gave him the edge as he triumphed in Market Place on Sunday.
The 34-year-old Blackheath & Bromley athlete and Great Britain international clocked one hour 28 minutes 42 seconds to win the 16-mile race with Ben Shearer a distant second in 1:29:26.
Lucie Custance claimed the women's race win in 1:42:09, with Annie Emmerson coming home 4:55 behind her in second.
"I really enjoyed it," said Skinner, who finished 51st at the world cross country championships in Poland last year.
"I live really close by so I know the course and run it quite a lot, but it was really nice to get out and race it today.
"The conditions were pretty perfect. I enjoyed it."
Belgrave Harrier Tish Jones, from Teddington, won the eight-mile event in an impressive 45:35 as she finished 1:55 ahead of men's race winner Thames Turbo's Tom Higgins.
"The first bit was very windy, but I paced with the 16 mile guys for a bit and was really happy with my run," said the 29-year-old.
More than 2,600 athletes - including former Miss World And I'm a Celebrity contestant Amy Willerton - took to the streets of Kingston for the most well known of the Human Race Pace Series events.
Most athletes use the event as a warm-up to the London Marathon on April 13.

Ashley Summers would now be 20. She was 14 when she disappeared on July 9, 2007, from Cleveland, Ohio. According to her aunt, the girl, who was not the type to simply leave and never come back, vanished not far from the house of Ariel Castro, recently arrested after three women were found captive, having been brutalized in his home for a decade. Castro's house is also very near to Ashley's home on the west side of Cleveland. According to her case profile on 411Gina.Org, she packed before leaving, took her stuff and called her mother a month later to say that she was okay and not to worry.
Later in 2007, a relative reported seeing Ashley on Cleveland's West 44th street, with her hair cut short and dyed blond. Since then no one has seen or heard from Ashley Summers. Police consider her a run away, but her family does not. It is most likely because of her family's persistence that Ashley's Case is still getting attention. Police released an age-progressed photo of Ashley Summers in 2011; she would have been 18. Ashley is described as about 5'5″, weighting about 130 pounds with brown hair and blue eyes. She has the name "Gene" and a heart tattooed on her right arm.
After victim Michele Knight, missing since August 2, 2002, was removed from Castro's house early this May, all previous assumptions about young girls missing from Cleveland were pretty much thrown out. Neither Michele's family not the police were looking for her; there were no profiles of her case on any websites, not photos or flyers, no candlelight vigils on TV. As far her family was concerned she ran away in a huff after losing custody of her child. Only her mother would return to the old neighborhood from Florida periodically to hand out flyers and asking if anyone had seen her daughter. Police considered Michele a run away and had in no way connected her to either the Berry or DeJesus case. Knight's brother, Freddie, with whom she is in contact, says that she is developmentally disabled and was also physically abused, as he was, by her uncle. Knight was by far the most tortured and abused of the three captives, and there are reports now that she now wants nothing to do with the family that was so willing to write her off.
In 2007 police considered the possibility of a connection between Ashley's case and those of then-missing children Amanda Berry and Gina Dejesus. On May 8, 2013, however, after interviewing Berry, DeJesus and Knight, Cleveland Deputy Police Chief Ed Tomba announced that investigators were unable to discover a connection with Ashley Summers' case. though she does bare a striking resemblance to DeJesus and Berry as seen in these photo comparisons at right.
The question of other Castro victims however, remains an open one. Michele Knight, the first of the three abducted, remembers another female captive in the home when she first arrived. She reportedly told investigators that one morning the woman was gone. Knight does not know her name or what ever became of her. Also the letters R.I.P for "rest in peace" were found along with a woman's name scrawled on the wall in Castro's basement. None of the three women knows who wrote those words, or to whom they may have been referring.
Chillingly there are at least two more unresolved cases of missing women from Cleveland that are getting attention, Christina Adkins, who was 19 when she disappeared from Cleveland on January 12, 1995. She was five months pregnant. She is described as is 5'6″ or 5'7″ tall, 110-127 pounds, with blond hair and brown eyes.
Also missing from Cleveland is Miranda Jones, 16, who disappeared on November 16, 2012. She may have been in the company of an adult male, with her hair dyed black, using the name Rogers, according to her profile on with the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. She has tattoos on her left arm from her wrist to her elbow. Though she is considered an endangered runaway, the Cleveland Police's website does not list her as missing. She is about 5'4″, weighing about 139 pounds with blond hair and blue eyes.
Anyone with information about these cases is urged to contact the Cleveland Police Department: 216-664-4477, or the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children at 1-800-843-5678.

500ml bottle poured into taster glass. No freshness date, but is marked "Fall/Winter 2012". This beer is marked as 7.5% ABV on BeerAdvocate, however is labeled 7.2%ABV for this vintage.
Appearance: Pours an abyss black color. This beer absorbs the light! 2-finger creamy mocha-colored head.
Smell: The first smell that hits my nose is a sweet chocolate fudge cake followed by freshly brewed espresso. Wonderful backdrops of supporting vanilla. Slightly bready yeast that brings me to a chocolate-covered donut.
Taste: Freshly brewed espresso is dominant on the palate. Faint notes of woodiness. Stronger vanilla comes out than was apparent in the aroma.
Mouthfeel: Very smooth. Lightly carbonated. Medium-full bodied.
Overall: Very delicious. World class. However, Vanilla Bean Framinghammer porter has ruined me for life and this beer pales in comparison to it.

2L growler poured into a Tumbler.
Pours a very dark brown that's near black, slowly a small deep dark brown head arises and slowly fades into some very fine lacing. Nose is all coffee, quite impressive. There are some light sweet spicy & vanilla notes as well.
Taste is again strongly coffee. It's a bit dry and bitter with a lot of coffee characteristics as well. The cinnamon comes in on the finish very faintly and subtly that's super well done. A great holiday beer that's flavorful and drinkable.

Thanks, mkabull!
A very appropriately pretty porter. Very dark brown, bordering on black, with a moderate-sized, and somewhat persistent dark brown head. Leaves irregular spiderwebs of stick down the glass.
Miscellaneous roast in the aroma along with definite cinnamon. Simple and straightforward, and the cinnamon definitely adds uniqueness, though I don't think it's particularly complementary.
The flavor follows the aroma: roast, mild chocolate, some definite cinnamon character that adds some licorice and spice notes, though could be confused with an acidity. I don't think it's complementary nor works very well at all with the base beer. I would prefer this without the cinnamon. Nice, lingering chocolate character on the finish, however.
Medium bodied with moderate-high carbonation for the style.
Different strokes for different folks. A rather ordinary beer made less appealing through the addition of cinnamon.

Bottle poured into a snifter
A - Dark, chocolate brown with a small milk chocolate head
S - Chocolate, sweet vanilla, light coffee and roasted malt near the back end. The vanilla actually stands out well to give it an overall sweet nose.
T - Up front is milk chocolate with a light coffee presence. There is then a nice vanilla up front that makes it tastes slightly like a mocha frappe. The finish has a good presence of roasted malt and a slight bitterness from the coffee
M - Medium body with low carbonation. It is slightly velvety. The finish is a bit astringent from the coffee and roasted malt but it isn't overpowering.
O - This is a solid porter as a base beer which is given another level of flavor and complexity with the vanilla and coffee added. The vanilla adds a nice sweetness that you notice up front while the coffee adds some punch on the backend.

4.53/5 rDev +4.1%
I had a glass of Hill Farmstead's Twilight of the Idols winter porter during a visit to Armsby Abbey in Worcester, MA. What a pleasure it was to have this venerable, rare beer, and served in authentic Hill Farmstead brewery glassware–nice touch, Armsby!
Appearance (5/5): The beer, presented in a Hill Farmstead glass, is deep black and topped by the most luxuriant, pillowy beige head that retains well. A disk of foam sticks with the beer all the way down. Lots of sticky beige-brown residue sticks to the sides of the glass. Twilight of the Idols is one impressive looking brew.
Smell (4.5/5): Twilight has a very roasty aroma complicated by notes of fresh-brewed coffee, dark chocolate, and smokiness (though I don't think there's any smoked malt in the brew). The aroma is definitely more intense than your average American Porter though less dark chocolate going on in the nose of Twilight than in Hill Farmstead's other Porter, Everett.
Taste (4.5/5): Very complex: roasty, dark bread, coffee bean bitterness, a light vanilla sweetness, dark chocolate, a bit of warm spice from the added cinnamon. Twilight is not very sweet; it still features robust and assertive porter flavors. A light alcohol flexes and warms in the finish. Subtle, beautiful, bold–that's what Twilight of the Idols is.
Mouthfeel (4.5/5): Creamy, medium-heavy body, medium-light carbonation, Twilight of the Idols is very smooth going down. Given its strength and overall "big" taste, I can't say it's the most drinkable beer; you probably won't order two in a row at the bar.
Overall (4.5/5): Twilight of the Idols is a great American Porter that features a wide array of flavors perfect for a winter beer. One of the best things about it is that all the ingredients–the vanilla beans, coffee, and cinnamon–seem to mix well together; it's not one of those beers that seems to use additives as a crutch. It also doesn't have that fake spiciness thing going on that some winter beers have (you know who you are). This is a subtle, complex, and very tasty dark ale that really brings the roast. Shaun Hill has done it again–another excellent Hill Farmstead Brewery beer.

Excelentes discos del "Rey Diamante" (King Diamond), y demuestra el porque es el King o God del Heavy Metal..King means Gooood
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
Another double-up CD release of these classic King Diamond albums, "Them" & Conspiracy. Although, teaming these two CDs together is no-brainer, it's better you purchase these two releases seperately(if you haven't already got 'em) Most hard-core Diamond fans will undoubtedly have these in their collection. But I guess this product might appeal to fans that are being turned onto the King for the first time.
But in my opinion, these double-up CD releases are superfulous. It just seems like a feeble attempt from Roadrunner to cash in AGAIN on a artist they barely promoted in the first place…
I've just recently found the magic that is King Diamond, about 20 years after his solo career started. What I've found is the most unique and true-to-form artist around. I traveled down to the cd store hoping for at least Abigail, but I found much more. I found Them/Conspiracy two-pack, Abigail and Puppet Master and didn't hesitate for a second to purchase all of them at once. I would have payed 15 bucks seperate for each cd included in this set, but finding only this for 15 dollars, how could I say no?!
Taken as a whole, I only have a few complaints about the set, and they are pretty miniscule. My first complaint is that the booklet contains no lyrics, so that's a downside, since it is sometimes hard to understand what King is saying. The last complaint is that Conspiracy was not as good as I had thought, but it's still good, not as good as THEM though.
From the start, I had always figured that THEM would be my least favorite King album, but as soon as I listened to it, my mind changed drastically, this is King's absolute best album ever. Not only does it have a very creepy and unique story(not like that's news for King Diamond), but it's overall sound and presentation is unlike any of his other recordings. Though the sound production on THEM is rather weak,It's good, but not very clean like his preceding attempts. Every song here is strong and there is some beautiful musicianship throughout. The track "TEA" perfectly suits the title, with hypnotic flowing notes and soothing and mellow choruses by the King.
Conspiracy follows up to THEM, but it seems like less attention was placed on story than the previous part of the story. "AT THE GRAVES" seems to drag on for too long, and several of the tracks are rather forgettable. "Sleepless Nights", Victimized, A Visit from the Dead and Cremtation are the strongest point of the album, but the rest don't have the same magic as the afformentioned. But considering the fact that you can get two albums for the price of one is totally worth dishing out 15 bucks for.

The four players who will not play tonight include: Jamaal Charles, Sanders Commings, Mike Catapano and Malcolm Bronson.
Charles' injury we know all about. Last Monday he strained his foot, leading to a freakout from Chiefs fans. But don't worry, Chiefs fans. He's going to be OK. He would play tonight if it were a real game. He could miss the rest of the preseason as a precaution, though.
Commings was hurt before camp even started, breaking his collarbone. We're not sure when he's coming back but he's still not practicing.
Bronson started camp on the PUP list and remains out.
Catapano strained his calf in the first week of camp and hasn't participated since. Too bad for him. He needs the preseason to make an impression. He was the Chiefs seventh round pick last April.

CATEGORIES MoviesIt seems Tom Hanks has taken a lesson or two out of the Bill Murray handbook.
According to a post on Reddit, one fan allegedly wandered up to the "Forrest Gump" actor, decided to steal his glasses and then "pretend" to be drunk. And Hanks loved it!
The set of photos, which hit Reddit late yesterday afternoon, featured the two goofing off in some hilariously memorable poses, thus cementing the fact that Tom Hanks is probably even better in real life than in your imagination.
You can take a look at both photos in the gallery below. Head here to check out the original Reddit post.

Law Schools
Law school financing system in need of 'serious re-engineering,' task force says
Posted Aug 1, 2013 3:20 PM CDT
By Mark Hansen
The current system for financing a law school education, which drives up tuition costs and student debt, is "deeply flawed" and in need of a "serious re-engineering," an ABA task force says.
And the law school accreditation standards, which impose more standardization of legal education than may be necessary, should be amended to enable more diversity in law school curricula and make it easier for schools to innovate, the ABA Task Force on the Future of Legal Education says.
Law schools also need to do more to heed the legal profession's calls for more skills training and experiential learning, the task force says.
And state supreme courts, bar associations and lawyer regulatory authorities should devise new ways of licensing limited providers of legal services and authorizing bar admission for "people whose preparation is not in the traditional three-year classroom mold."
Those are some of the highlights of the conclusions contained in what the task force calls a "working paper" (PDF) of its deliberations to date that was posted Thursday on its website in advance of next Saturday's public hearing during the ABA Annual Meeting in San Francisco.
The 34-page document carries a disclaimer at the top saying it is neither a final draft nor a reflection of official ABA policy. It says the working paper should be viewed instead as a "field manual for people of good faith who wish to improve legal education as a public and private good."
The working paper identifies nine themes that it says should serve as a common framework and a shared set of goals for the project, including the currently flawed system for financing a law-related education, the need for greater heterogeneity in the law school curriculum and a new emphasis on the value of a legal education. It also says there should be greater innovation in law school educational programs, changes in faculty culture and work roles, and a clear recognition that law schools exist to teach people how to provide legal services.
The task force recommends that the ABA undertake a fuller examination of law school financing and pricing issues than it has been able to do. It also recommends that the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar revise accreditation standards that increase the costs but not necessarily the quality of a legal education. And it says state supreme courts and lawyer regulatory authorities should look for ways to reduce the educational requirements for admission and authorize people without JDs to provide limited legal services.
Task force chair Randall T. Shepard, retired chief justice of the Indiana Supreme Court, said Thursday he expects that some of the task force's recommendations will be widely applauded while others are just as widely condemned. But he's not prepared to say at this point which recommendations he thinks will fall into which category.
Shepard said the task force, which was created at last year's annual meeting, still hopes to issue its final report and recommendations by Nov. 20, the filing deadline for items to be placed on the agenda of the House of Delegates for consideration at the ABA's Midyear Meeting next February in Chicago.
"That's our target," he said.
Kyle McEntee, co-founder of Law School Transparency, called the working paper "a significant piece of thought leadership."
"It's full of great recommendations," he said. "Overall, the task force has done a great job of illustrating the problem and explaining the philosophical tensions at play between the private good and the public good."
The big question now, he said, is whether stakeholders can execute the task force's vision of the future.
Barry Currier, the ABA's managing director of accreditation and legal education, declined to comment on the working paper, saying to do so now would be premature. "The council looks forward to considering the task force's report when it is finalized," he said.

GMO LABELING ACTION SHEET Be Part of the Solution!
A New York State bill to mandate GMO Labeling in NYS (A.3525) was recently approved in committee and will be presented for state approval this year, possibly this June. Another Federal bill (S.3835) that would make it illegal for states to mandate GMO Labeling has been introduced to the U.S. Congress. If you want GMO labeling, please make your voice heard on both of these bills by signing all of the petitions below. Then, share them with friends, family, and in social media, to spread the word.
1. Federal
2. State
There are two NYS petitions. One thing that worked well in VT was bombarding the government with GMO Labeling petitions from many different organizations:
VT, CT, and ME did it…so can NY!

New York Bans Underage Body Piercing
New York Law Prohibits Underage Piercings
It's official. New York has passed a new piercing law that requires kids under the age of 18 to get parental consent before getting holes put anywhere besides their ears.
This on the heels of the soda ban, the smoking ban, the jaywalking ban; Is New York tightening the leash a tad too much?
The new piercing law was signed by Governor Cuomo on Monday, with the governor releasing a statement that said:
"Body piercing can result in severe health risks and it is our obligation as New Yorkers and parents to make sure that our teens are taking every precaution to remain healthy and safe."
Read: Study Finds Girls as Young as Six Want to be "Sexy"
Before parents get too prickly over the seemingly harsh law, note that it does not include ear piercing.
As a parent, wouldn't you prefer to have some say in your underage child's desire to get body piercings?
The press release for the new law notes that "Approximately 20% of all body piercing result in infection, and there is also a risk of contracting hepatitis from the procedure. "
The release also explains that "body piercing studios check the identification of teens, and that underage teens provide a consent form signed by a parent or legal guardian that was signed in the presence of the owner or body piercing specialist at a body piercing studio."
The law will go into effect in 90 days.
Read: Epic Parenting Fails (Photos)
New York already has an indoor tanning law that bans kids 16 and younger from using indoor tanning beds, plus it's illegal to get a tattoo if you're younger than 18 years old.
Senator Joseph E. Robach, co-sponsor of the piercing bill, said, "This law will help educate both parents and children of the potential risks of piercings and help them make informed decisions together."
