Poured into an impy nonic pitch black,no light showing thru this,a fluffy mocha colored crown atop that left broken chunks of lace behind as it setteled slowly into a frothy mass.Big hop resin mixed molasses sweetness just awesome,this is truly a hybrid of stout and ABA.Chocolate malts and tobacco flavors mixed with a healthy shot of pine resin on the palate,some molasses-like sweetness comes into play but doesn't intrued on the resiny hops.I have the hop burps wich makes me like this beer even more,a great example of the style,one of the best I have had.

A - Pours pitch black and slick, with three fingers of dense brown head. Head has excellent retention and coats the glass with lacing.
S - Very prominent pine hop aroma. I didn't even smell any coffee initially, but eventually the strong roasty coffee notes come through. Also quite a bit of bitter chocolate.
T - The name certainly doesn't lie. Tastes like a hopped up Beer Geek Breakfast. Quite bitter throughout. The combination of piney hops, bitter roasted coffee and bitter chocolate is a bit over the top, but still quite tasty. I wish there was just a touch of sweet milk chocolate to smooth it out.
M - Medium mouthfeel is dry and bitter throughout. Bitterness lingers for quite some time.
O - Glad I tried this, and it is pretty tasty. The intense hop bitterness almost moves this into black ale territory. A bit of added sweetness would bump this up a notch for me, but still a good brew.

This stuff is good. Ordered it at Mikkeller Bar in San Francisco. Readily available, obviously.
A - Black, simple tan head. Thick but leaves out some of the sticky features of other stouts.
S - Blackest of coffees. Like waking up in the morning and someone had brewed fresh coffee. No creamer mixed into this one. Hops are easily present. This smells like fresh coffee while camping in a forest thick with pine trees. Just such a fantastic smell. Spring camping and Sunday mornings are the first things that come to mind.
T - There is the black coffee again. It's good. Especially if you enjoy coffee. No vanilla or chocolate that you get with other stouts. The hops come full force on this one. Reminded me of a Double IPA in a weird way. I see why it is called Hop Breakfast. I give it props for matching the name.
M - Simple feel. Fresh and doesn't feel like processed beverages. Not too sticky, but not super thin.
O - If you really want that hoppy stout with a strong coffee flavor, get this; don't think twice, get it. If you prefer your stouts smooth with some vanilla, chocolate, and spice, well this is still worth a try. Great brew from a great brewer.

Thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle.
The beer pours a dark brown color with red highlights and a tan head. The aroma is great. I get a lot of caramel and roasted malt with some pine and citrus hops. The flavor is roasted/burnt malt, coffee and chocolate, but I also get a lot of bitter pine and orange notes. The alcohol is completely hidden. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. A very nice hoppy stout.

4.05/5 rDev -0.2%
A 500ml bottle with date [M.h.t. 1/3-2012]; not sure how to interpret this, although it suggests the bottle is quite old. Acquired a couple of weeks ago from Beer Merchants (UK).
Poured into a Duvel tulip. Unfathomable blackness - no photon escapes it's clutches. Produces a huge head of creamy brown foam with good retention; this ultimately subsides to a surface layer. A rich aroma of coffee - strong and bitter - accompanied by plentiful roasted malt. Notes of burnt grain and stewed hops, with indistinct hints of aromatic hops. A whiff of alcohol in the background.
Tastes of intense bitter coffee and roasted malt. Notes of roasted coffee and malt, burnt grain, stewed hops, a hint of pine and faint dry yeast. Exceptionally bitter; kills off half your taste buds. The alcohol doesn't make itself felt in the flavour. Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly with decent body, yet it leaves the impression that it is thinner than it should be for such a big beer. Very astringent; dries the palate completely. Bitter coffee aftertaste.
A quality stout, though it falls just short of superb. The hop flavour doesn't really come across - subtle hints that are smothered by an excess of coffee. The mouthfeel also seems a tad thin. However, the coffee/malt character are without deficiency. All in all, a beer that strives for greatness and is found wanting. Which isn't to say that it's bad - grab one if you can stomach the price.

Dark brown pour, good tan lace and head to it. Aroma was very much like the regular Beer Geek Breakfast, but it did have a good bitter hop green vegetal vibe, no small feat since this beer comes from halfway across the world and you have no idea how long the relatively expensive beer may have sat on the shelf etc. . .
Taste, again, more like Beer Geek Breakfast, this is a very minor and subtle variation frankly, but that's not all bad since the base beer is quite good. Same beer, more hops. That's really about it. Loads of chocolate malt, coffee, ashy bitterness.

Visually really really appealing, pitch black body flowing huge tan head frothing above the sides of my chalice, fine even lacing as it slowly fades. Aroma has dark chocolate bitterness and hint of pine and citrus tone hops in the background with a somewhat creamed coffee in the middle. Bitterness unwavering bitterness green hops assault the palate with a pelletized hop concentration black malts (mainly black patent bring out the charcoal and roasted malt bitterness) so there's a bit of a tag team combo hitting me hard right now. I really couldn't tell you they used oatmeal, but dark bitter coffee, dark malts, and hops are screaming hello!!! Mouthfeel never gets past any one of the waves of bitterness it coats all dimensions of the palate, medium bodied even solid carbonation no issues there just the lacquer known has beer hop breakfast is left behind coating the entire palate with a lingering unbalanced bitterness. Overall I wish the gypsy brewer had a stroke of finesse in his paint brush, maybe due to the country where the brewing scene is breaking out like a punk rock movement do most of these guys feel the need to brew this way. Believe me I like extreme beer I just like well balanced big beers.

Reviewed from notes.
Pours a beautiful ebony with a brown half a finger of head. Dissipates rather quickly. Surprised by the look of this that it's not actually a stout.
Aroma is amazing, sweet matly, burnt biscuit, heavy coffee, dark chocolate. Slight hop aroma in there somehow coming through. Just great.
Very delicious. Chocolate and coffee are most prevalent. Sweetness abound! Hops are on the back end and very subtle at that. No date on the bottle so hops could have faded a bit. Tastes more like a hoppy stout than a black IPA but it's still great.
Very thick and rich, stout-like again. Aftertaste has a lingering bitterness that rounds it out nicely.
This was my first try at Mikkeller and I'm so glad that I know how good they can be. Probably the best black IPA I've had although it's more like a stout. But really great stuff.

An electroencephalogram (EEG) is a painless procedure that uses small, flat metal discs (electrodes) attached to your scalp to detect electrical activity in your brain. Your brain cells communicate via electrical impulses and are active all the time, even when you're asleep. This activity shows up as wavy lines on an EEG recording.
An EEG is one of the main diagnostic tests for epilepsy. An EEG may also play a role in diagnosing other brain disorders.
An EEG can determine changes in brain activity that may be useful in diagnosing brain disorders, especially epilepsy. An EEG may be helpful to confirm, rule out or provide information that helps with management of the following disorders:
An EEG can't measure intelligence or detect mental illness. It may be used to confirm brain death in someone in a persistent coma.
EEGs are safe and painless. Sometimes people with epilepsy have a seizure intentionally triggered during the test, but appropriate medical care is provided if needed.
To prepare for an EEG:
If you're supposed to sleep during your EEG test, your doctor may ask you to sleep less or even avoid sleep entirely the night before your EEG. If you have trouble falling asleep for the test, you might be given a sedative to help you relax.
During the test
You'll feel little or no discomfort during an EEG. The electrodes don't transmit any sensations. They just record your brain waves. If you need to sleep during the EEG, you might be given a sedative beforehand to help you relax. During the test:
Your doctor may want you to have a video EEG, which may require you to be admitted to a hospital. During this test, your body motions are captured by a video camera while the EEG simultaneously records your brain waves during a seizure. This may help your doctor pinpoint the location in your brain where seizures begin.
After the test
After the test, the technician removes the electrodes or cap. If no sedative was given, you should feel no side effects after the procedure, and you can return to your normal routine.
If you used a sedative, it may take about an hour to partially recover from the medication. You'll need someone to take you home because it can take up to a day for the full effects of the sedative to wear off. Rest and don't drive for the remainder of the day.
Technicians conduct the test. Doctors trained to analyze EEGs interpret the recording, and the results are sent to the doctor who ordered the EEG.
Your doctor may schedule an office appointment to discuss the results of the test. If possible, bring along a family member or friend. It can be difficult to absorb all the information provided to you during an appointment. The person who accompanies you may remember something that you forgot or missed.
Write down questions that you want to ask your doctor. Don't be afraid to ask questions or to speak up when you don't understand something your doctor says. Questions you may want to ask include:

text: Designed for moderate-ball-speed players with a tendency to hit a fade or slice, the Speed LD M Driver maximizes distance on hits across the entire clubface. With one of the largest faces on the market, the Speed LD M is forgiving, which, combined with extra-high launch and a draw bias design, provides increased distance. Empowering golfers to hit longer, straighter drives is pure science. By taking the clubhead dimensions to the USGA limits of 5 x 5 inch, Cobra engineers pushed the Center of Gravity even lower and deeper, further increasing the MOI to 5000+ for incredibly long, straight drives.

Hey Fellow Bike Racing Women! I'd like to reach out to all the women's 1/2/3 teams to encourage you to come out and support a new twilight criterium which is aimed specifically at showcasing women's racing in Northern California. The Criterium will be in downtown Scott's Valley (in the hills above Santa Cruz) on May 15, 2010, the evening before the start of the Tour of California. The total purse for the race is over $6,000 and we have dedicated $3000 to the women's race - which is more than the Pro men's purse! There is a lot of excitement on Third Pillar to support and develop women's racing in Northern California and we would be thrilled to have a strong turnout for this race. Please share this with your friends and teammates and we hope to see you there!

Vitor Belfort is constantly credited as having elite level striking and boxing but in truth his level of technical ability and scientific boxing is a step below the majority of good strikers in our sport. What Belfort does have is copious amounts of power and speed, everyone knows this, but his game lacks intelligent set ups and relies entirely on getting his punch in first through athleticism alone. Today we are going to take a look at what a good boxer / striker should be looking to do and what Vitor Belfort does instead.
Belfort faces Michael Bisping at UFC on FX 7 this Saturday Night in Brazil.
Let me be clear and say up front that Vitor Belfort has the kind of athletic abilities which mean he could be mopping the floor with technical strikers who lack his speed - unfortunately speed alone is pretty easy to defuse with movement, distancing and timing. Jon Jones and Anderson Silva had very little trouble avoiding Belfort's attacks because where Jon Jones and Anderson Silva adapt to their opponents, the exact same Vitor Belfort (at least from a strategic standpoint) shows up for every single fight.
I do not want readers to think that I am simply being a boxing elitist and picking up on minor error's in Belfort's form but it is hard to argue that Belfort is even an above average technical boxer when one considers the strategies and techniques which a boxer - or any type of technical striker - should be looking to do.
A good boxer or technical striker should be:
- Setting up power punches with lesser ones and footwork.
- Baiting his opponent into counters or baiting his opponent to throw his own, poorly chosen counters to expose further openings.
- Using a variety of punches to confuse the opponent.
- Moving his head as a pre-emptive defense while on the offensive or attempting to nullify the opponents' offensive options before attacking.
- Most importantly a good boxer should always be looking to move off of a straight line of attack.
Think through that list of points and try to imagine which ones you could apply to Anderson Silva, Junior dos Santos, Fedor Emelianenko, Nick Diaz or even lower tier fighters like K. J. Noons or Ross Pearson. Now each of those fighters has their own flaws - this is mixed martial arts after all, not simply boxing or kickboxing - but every single one is consistently doing a good number of the things listed above.
Anderson Silva is constantly walking his opponents into traps and moving off of a direct line of engagement
1 - 2. Anderson pressures Forrest backward with footwork and feints.
3. Anderson slips a jab as Forrest escapes to Silva's right side.
4. Anderson steps out with his right foot into a southpaw stance and nails Griffin with a right hook as he circles.
Junior dos Santos is always using his minor punches such as jabs to the body to set up a variety of numbing power strikes
and Ross Pearson has some of the best anticipation and pre-emptive head movement in the game.
1. Pearson slips a Sotiropoulos right hand.
2. And comes up with a hard left hook.
Yet Vitor Belfort rarely commits to any of these principles, instead focusing on using his natural speed to beat opponents to the punch and he is still routinely called a great boxer in an MMA context. Every 'Vitor Blitz' is simply a lesson in how not to box scientifically. Try to picture in your mind Vitor Belfort's go to attack - running at an opponent with his left, right, left, right flurry and his head in one place. Now what is the difference between what Vitor does in almost every fight and this unfortunate young man in gi trousers running at a young Igor Vovchanchyn?
Of course, that guy's hands were all over the place, but Vitor's flurries aren't that far removed from the running flurries that got Forrest Griffin dropped by Anderson Silva, or Nate Marquardt's face first charge at Tarec Saffiedine the other night. Sure Vitor's hands come back to his chin a little better but the main difference is speed - Vitor runs in pumping his hands ridiculously fast and hard and his opponents are paralyzed to counter. Anderson Silva attempted a nice sway back against Belfort and was almost caught by his hard punching countryman as a result, failing to land a meaningful counter. Now it is true that Vitor's rush at Anderson was a far more controlled one than most of his old charges against Wanderlei Silva and Chuck Liddell (I examined that here), but though he has better control of his feet and posture, Vitor's go to attack is still along a straight line.
Vitor is not opposed to going back to his old way of running straight forward - while Vitor has displayed some nice counter punches against mediocre strikers, in a tight spot he returns to charging forward behind his chin. Notice below how he charges straight at Jon Jones who simply extends a hand and backpedals.
1 - 2. Vitor charges Jones.
3. Jones is too far away so Vitor stops.
4. Two seconds later Vitor charges forward exactly the same way and Jones easily side steps him.
This rush straight in or the 'Vitor Blitz', as it is known by fans, is extremely poor strategy from a boxing standpoint for two significant reasons.
Firstly it is energy consuming - because the attacks are all the same type of strike coming straight towards the opponent at the same target. No angle has been taken and no distraction has been made by an attack to another target meaning speed is the only means of landing. Even Vitor slows down after a couple of failed flurries - leading him to either gas or lose heart altogether and begin inexplicably pulling guard as he did against Kazushi Sakuraba and Alistair Overeem. Vitor's recent near submission of Jon Jones will of course lead fans to excuse these performances but where he surprised Jones, Vitor simply looked confused against Sakuraba and Overeem.
Secondly it is good boxing form to deviate from the line of attack after entering with a combination or flurry. Whether this be by weaving out or sidestepping, getting off line is the only thing stopping the opponent from countering as soon as the offensive fighter's punches start to slow. It is also very bad form to follow the opponent if he steps off line - the reason that you hear coaches shout "keep turning him" is that as a fighter turns to continue the chase he cannot punch with the power of his legs and is at a disadvantage in any exchange.
Vitor was arguably winning his fight with Chuck Liddell until he decided to pour on some aggression and chased Liddell. Liddell continued to try stepping off line as Vitor came at him and by swinging blind hooks he managed to floor Vitor simply because Vitor was in no position to defend (click for gif). As Liddell moved off line Vitor had few effective attacks and should have broken the assault there, but instead he chased and was floored for his trouble.
1. Belfort chases Liddell toward the camera.
2. Liddell pivots off.
3. Belfort follows, pumping his hands but slowing as he is forced to turn.
4. Belfort gets clipped with a hard left and dropped with a right.
An excellent example of a fighter with brilliant hand speed and flurries but with better punch variety and a more scientific approach to getting off line after he has landed all that he feels he can is Manny Pacquiao.
Notice that Pacquiao is always out of the way as soon as he feels his hands slowing down. The flurry at 0:50 is an excellent example as Pacquiao's feet stay underneath him the entire time and on his last punch - the classic Pacman upjab - he steps out and back to his left to re-establish distance rather than chasing wildly. This is hugely important in professional boxing matches because often it is as soon as an aggressive fighter begins to slow that he ends up eating a counter punch from his covering opponent. Notice also that his variety in targeting means a far higher connect rate.
In recent years Belfort has tried to throw more hooks in his running flurries, but ultimately he winds up throwing sloppy bombs and exposing himself unnecessarily as he did against Anthony Johnson.
Vitor swings an overhand, chases Johnson, swings a right hook. Johnson is able to duck under both and get to Vitor's hips, though Rumble was already exhausted at this point in the match and couldn't follow through with a takedown.
Vitor the Brawler
The truth is that Vitor doesn't excel as a boxer, he excels as a brawler. The "Vitor Blitz" serves the purpose of putting Vitor where he likes to be: near chest to chest, swinging at the opponent's head. This is where fights become about strength and speed entirely and all possibility of the opponent's footwork getting the better of Belfort's is out of the question.
This is the distance in which Vitor does his best work, chest to chest with a covering opponent. Here is a good example from my previous piece The Strengths of Vitor Belfort.
... Belfort is much more of a bully. He has added some crisp counter punches to his arsenal since he began fighting but where Vitor does his best work is still in chest-to-chest brawling range as he jumps in with a hard punch and swarms all over his opponent once they are hurt. Vitor has always proven exceptional at punching in scrambles while is opponents try to choose between going for a clinch and getting hit or covering up and letting Vitor continue his assault.
In the above stills you will notice that the range is far from optimum for throwing punches. Belfort has backed Ortiz up to the fence and begun looking for big punches, but he is not stepping back to set up long, hard punches - using his jab to keep Ortiz off of him - instead he is in range for Ortiz to clinch him. What is incredibly awkward for Belfort's opponents is that he can still land hard, fast punches and even combinations in this peculiar range. You'll notice in these grainy stills (which I apologize for) that Tito Ortiz cannot decide whether to clinch or cover up along the fence. Against any other striker Ortiz would have smothered them like a blanket, but instead he keeps reaching and getting caught by short shots on the inside.
Ultimately Vitor displays few of the skills that mark a good technical boxer outside of the basic punches and occasional combinations which can be taught at any gym by any quality of coach. Vitor seems to get by almost entirely on his speed and power and very rarely defeats technical strikers - instead overwhelming herky jerky brawlers like Rich Franklin and grapplers who choose to swing like Matt Lindland and Yoshihiro Akiyama. Even with the improvements in striking variety that Vitor seemed to make under the tutelage of K-1 legend, Ray Sefo, Vitor is more than a decade into his career and it seems unlikely that he will learn the strategies of technical boxing as used by great MMA boxers like Anderson Silva any time soon.
It is a testament to just how athletic Vitor is that he will likely continue to overwhelm the majority of opponents placed in front of him with little in the way of scientific method to help him.
Later in the week we will be looking at the factors at play in Belfort's fight with Michael Bisping because either man is a bad match up for the other. Belfort struggles with fighters who have good movement and kicks, where Bisping struggles with fighters who swarm on him rather than letting him set his own pace. Stay tuned to my SB Nation blog to stay in the loop for when we examine the two men against each other.

Well, it seems that half would constitute a nightmare for the United States. They've been absolutely dreadful thus far, and they're currently trailing Sweden 2-0. With how poorly the United States has played, especially in defense, it's hard to say that the slight underdogs don't deserve their lead. At present, the Swedes are going to win the group, while the United States appear to be headed for second place and a match against Brazil.
Sweden took the lead on a penalty kick after Amy LePeilbet hauled down Lotta Schelin in the penalty area 15 minutes into the game, but that wasn't even Sweden's first clear-cut scoring opportunity of the match. Five minutes earlier, Schelin was through on goal and had a shot saved by Hope Solo.
The second goal came in the 35th minute, thanks to a Nilla Fischer free kick goal and a bit of luck. Trying to shoot away from the U.S. wall, Fischer hit LePeilbet, who was standing to the right of the wall, and the ball deflected into the back of the net on the opposite side from the one Solo jumped to defend. It was unlucky for the US, but the free kick itself wasn't as Rachel Buehler gave it away with a bad foul.
The USWNT is seriously missing Heather O'Reilly, while re-introducing Shannon Boxx hasn't had the desired effect. Pia Sundhage will likely have to make some kind of changes at halftime.

By Bill Cross For The Herald Bulletin
The Herald Bulletin
---- — LAWRENCE — A week after picking up their first sectional win since 1992, the Anderson Indians lined up Friday night against Indianapolis Cathedral for the sectional 13 title.
Playing on the Lawrence Central High School field, the Irish used a 21-point outburst in the first quarter to blow the game open and cruised to a 56-13 win over Anderson.
Anderson was competing for their first-ever sectional title while Cathedral was going for their 18th overall sectional title and eighth in a row. The Irish took the opening kickoff and moved quickly into Anderson territory but a fumble by Zach Saum was recovered by Alonzo West to end the threat.
Anderson moved the ball to midfield but was forced to punt. The Irish went 52 yards in three plays, taking only 57 seconds to find the end zone when Caleb Cross scored from 10 yards out.
On the ensuing possession, Kyle Hoeper picked up a fumble and ran for a 20-yard score to give Cathedral a 14-0 lead. Anderson quarterback Gaven Owens threw an interception on the first play and Cathedral struck quickly as Cross went in from 24 yards out to put the Irish up 21-0.
The burst took 1:14. The Irish put three more touchdowns on the board in the first half as Cross scored his third TD on the night with 2:51 gone in the second quarter, Evan Christopher scored on a 5-yard run and Venton Curry ended the barrage with a 14-yard touchdown run with 9 seconds left in the half for a 42-0 Irish lead.
Anderson got on the board in the third quarter as Owens hit Brandon Chapman with a short pass that turned into a 62-yard touchdown. Chapman broke two tackles at the Cathedral 40 yard line, running backwards for about 5 yards before breaking free.
Cathedral put two touchdowns on the board to take a 56-7 lead in the fourth quarter before Indian tailback Tyler Welch sprinted down the left sideline for an 80-yard touchdown run to finish the scoring for Anderson. Cathedral outgained Anderson 428-234 for the game, including 306 yards on the ground. Welch finished with 127 yards on the ground while Owens had 107 yards passing for Anderson. The Indians finish the year 4-7.

I made this in hopes that my wife would get some relief from her allergies. Here in Florida the pollen has been very heavy this year. This filter it's good for Pollen, Dander and Dust Mites.
I found some really cheap pine boards in the discount bin at HDs so this box only cost me about $2.50. The fan was $19.99 and the filter was $19.99 . So for about $45 bucks total.
I hope my efforts were worth it!
I made one for my daughter's bird room a while ago and it solved 99% of her bird dander problem. You can find that post here http://lumberjocks.com/projects/62449
Today I finished the box and it's now running non stop! Hope it helps her!
Here's a link to a another way to add a filter to a fan.
Thanks for looking in !

- 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese

|Letter to the Editor
|Saturday, September 28, 2013 12:03 AM
As a citizen of Delphos and a member of Delphos City Council, I am writing this letter in support of the 1/4 percent income tax proposal on the November ballot. This 1/4 percent income tax would cost a wage earner $2.50 on every $1,000 earned.
I originally ran for City Council more than 14 years ago because I enjoy living in Delphos and raising my family here and I thought I could make a difference. The 1/4 percent income tax will not solve all of our problems over night but it will get us headed in the right direction. Over the past 14 years on Council, I feel I have made a real effort to make the right decisions on issues before Council. It certainly has been my intent to make decisions based on what is right for the City of Delphos.
I am asking for your support for the 1/4 percent income tax when you go to the polls on Nov. 5 to make sure Delphos continues to be a city we can all be proud of.
Thanks for your support,
Kevin Osting
Councilman at Large

New data from the Brookings Institute shows that poverty is growing the fastest in the suburbs. It's called the suburbanization of poverty and metro Atlanta's suburbs ranks near the top of the list.The Elizabeth Inn, a homeless shelter operated by MUST Ministries, is the only one of its kind in Cobb County. Director Sam Bolling says it's hard to keep up with the demand because of the increased poverty level in the suburbs."I noticed that there has just been a general increase of families coming and being turned away because we just can't meet the need for the families," Bolling said.Bolling says they have space for only 12 families, but have had to turn away about two families a day. It's a reflection of the rising poverty rate in the suburbs. She says her clients are not the stereotypical homeless."The phenomena of the working poor – that is a reality. That is a reality. The average person we know is two paychecks away from being homeless," said Bolling.According to the U.S. Census, suburban poverty rates in metro Atlanta increased by 5.9 percent in the last decade. That's the largest increase in the 20 most populated areas in the country.The counties with the highest increases are:Clayton 11.6%Gwinnett 8.7%Bartow 8.1%In Cobb County, the suburban poverty rate increased by 6.1 percent. That doesn't surprise Bolling, who has clients from all walks of life."When I say that the face of homelessness has changed, it has," Bolling said. "It's on a wide spectrum now. It's from the middle class to those who have mental health that hasn't been addressed."The Great Recession has also impacted fundraising for charities like MUST Ministries. The non-profit has seen donations drop since the recession, and has had to make staff reductions to adjust to the decreased funding.

Keeping the Family Schedule on Track
Do you remember when you were a kid? Setting priorities within the household was simple. School work always came first, and activities second. All of your activities were somehow involved with school, so the schedules fell into place naturally. The kids who held after-school jobs simply dropped their other activities. Weekends were family and social times.
That, of course, is ancient history. Not only are most families overwhelmed with daily schedules, but the children are in more accelerated academic situations. It is not unusual to find families stretched to the limits, trying to make sure their children do everything and get everywhere. Everything is important, or so it seems.
How can you effectively set priorities and keep the household running smoothly?
- Set Priorities.
Figure out what is most important to your family. "List10 values you live by and write them down," says Mimi Donaldson, co-author of Bless Your Stress: It Means You're Still Alive. By identifying your values, you can begin to sort out where different priorities are within the household.
Deciding on the priorities should be the result of a family discussion. Parents may be surprised to find that their children agree with responsibilities education, religious instruction and chores being at the top of the list. However, parents benefit by listening to what their child does not consider a priority.
- Enforce Your Family's Priorities
Once the priorities are established within the family, it is up to the parents to enforce them. If your child wants to go out with friends on a school night, determine where the priority is. If education comes before friendships in your house, explain to your child that if she wants good grades, she shouldn't go out the night before a test. Hugh Bases, a developmental and behavioral pediatrician, says that it is important for families to make sure there is plenty of unstructured time in their lives. "Time set aside just for family lowers stress," he says.
Bases also suggests that parents develop priorities within their own family unit. "Make the strategy known by using consistency," he says. "For example, have dinner together every night without the television on and no phone interruptions. Everyone has to eat, and it is a social activity."
Learning to adapt to small priorities like that makes it easier for families to adapt when it seems like life is pushing at all directions and the calendar is completely booked.
- Find Flexibility
It is also important for families to be flexible. There are times when it is better to let children, especially older children, develop their own set of priorities. Let the kids make their own choices, let them figure out what they want to do, and let them face the consequences.

DANVERS — The explosions that woke those in Ann Marie Ruotolo's house on Bates Street early Saturday morning turned out to be tires popping on two burning box trucks parked at Harvey Industries on nearby Water Street.
The incident was a far cry from the chemical plant explosion that rocked Danversport on the morning of the day before Thanksgiving in November 2006, but it still left residents wondering about what caused the explosions and the sound of sirens that could be heard later, Ruotolo said.
The explosions could be heard in neighboring Peabody, Ruotolo said.
"I heard two big ones and a few littler ones," said police Sgt. Robert Bettencourt, who lives in Peabody not far from Danversport.
The burning trucks were parked in front of the building products warehouse at 125 Water St., and the fire was reported at 5:01 a.m., Bettencourt said. The trucks were parked in front of the building just off Water Street, which is behind the headquarters of the Pelletier and Milbury Corp. construction company.
The fire appears to have started in a portable forklift mounted at the back of one of the box trucks.
The fire then spread to the other truck, fire Chief Kevin Farrell said.
The department received multiple calls for fire and explosions, and Peabody sent an engine to the scene. Firefighters were able to douse the flames "pretty quickly," Farrell said.
The fire does not appear to be suspicious. Detective Sgt. William Carleton and fire Capt. Frank Sacco reviewed surveillance tapes from nearby Eastern Propane, Bettencourt said. The tapes showed a column of smoke rising from the back of the box truck, helping pinpoint where the fire started, Farrell said. No one was seen going near the trucks in the half-hour preceding the fire, Farrell said.

I love how they look and sparkle.
The diamonds were exceptional in presentation, but the platinum settings far exceed my expectation especially for their hypoallergenic properties. I have had no problems since putting the earrings in and that is a definite issue for me.
I love my earrings
The earrings were very bright and sparkly. I have a small ear lobe so the 1/3 ct. tw. was perfect for me.
Glenn C - Vancouver BC
Exceptional!!....I have purchased from Blue Nile twice now and both times the service and speed of delivery has been great...very professional. The website is well designed and easy to navigate and above all the quality of the diamonds and jewelry is better than anywhere else I have found. Highly reccomend them
Exceptional Quality
I bought these earrings for my girlfriend as a Christmas gift. She absolutely loved them! She has received numerous compliments and she hasn't taken them off yet. This was my third time using Blue Nile and I will continue using them in the future.
Just what I was looking for.
My wife has small ears and small ear lobes. When shopping for diamond earrings, I realized that it is difficult to find diamonds of any quality in small carat weights. This is where Blue Nile came in. I was able to choose a better quality diamond that was an appropriate size for my wife. She loved them!
I bought these earrings for my hubby to give me for Christmas! Why not!! They are the perfect size for me. I don't like large earrings. They are beautiful and when the light catches the diamonds they glow. I'm considering getting the next size down for my second piercing. two diamonds in each ear sounds good to me. Exceptional service with next day delivery, can't beat that.
she absolutely loved them
Great quality. quick process. no doubt where to shop for great diamonds. Thanks as always
Went great with the perfect with the princess-cut diamond platinum engagement ring that I got her last year! She doesn't like "heavy" earrings, so this was the perfect size
loved the earrings
I purhcased these for my husband. He wears one earring, so he will have a back up if needed. The earrings are brillant in color. They out shine diamond earrings that I own that cost more from an area jewelry store. The quality was well worth the money. The posts are a little long. Would definitely consider buying from Blue Nile again. I was sceptical at first but was very pleased with the order.
She loves her earrings
My fiancee is very pleased with her new diamond earrings. They sparkle magicallyand she receives many compliments on them. This is my second purchase through Blue Nile and they have been fantastic in quality and value.
She loved these earrings
I purchased the engagement ring at blue nile, the experience was better than I would have thought. I had to buy the earings in Blue Nile because the price, and the quality is unbeatable. You get more than what you pay for, and when you have any questions, there are descriptions for everything. Our wedding bands will also be purchased at Blue Nile.
Fast Delivery
Fast delivery and overall excellent experience. The earrings are beautiful and I definitly reccommend blue nile to anyone who is looking for diamond jewelry.
They look stunning on her!
I gave these earrings to my wife for our one year anniversary. Her eyes lit up as soon as she had seen these 1/3ct Princess cut Platinum studs. They look spectacular on her with their brilliant shine and classy look. Blue Nile was a great pleasure to work with.
good quality
I bought these earrings for a friend of mine, and bought an another pair from diamondstudsonly.com. They were both platinum, however blue nile had polished platinum and the other had a duller platinum. The diamonds from DSO, were 90 cheaper, but were dull and didn't shine much. I was surprised they didn't look as good or better because they were supposedly excellent cut vs good cut from Blue Nile. I showed my brother and his girlfriend the two and they could clearly see a difference in the two sets. Blue Nile was exceptional quality, and shine. I ended up returning both sets of earrings and getting a different gift but these are the best online.
The best quality for the price.
The earrings are absolutely beautiful and the best buy that I found on the internet. I recieved them in a day so the shipping was fast.
Very well received. She wears them often.
The person I talked to helped arrange shipping in an out of the ordinary situation. The package arrived in the right location on time and with no damage or other problems. The overall look of the Blue Nile packaging (once removed from the shipping wrapper) was very good. The only negative comment I would make is that as platinum posts are rather easily bent, you might want to take a look at the mountings inside of the box where the earrings are placed and find a way to make the slots a little less difficult to get the earrings in and out of.
Good value
Great value, she loved them and they are bigger than they look on the site.
I had looked for a similar set in jewelry stores but found nothing quite so nice and in platinum. The quality of the diamonds was as represented if not better and the mountings seem well constructed. The photos on the site were true to the merchandise. I needed to exchange the pair I originally purchased (my mistake) and the customer service was first rate
Loves them except for....
Wife doesn't like that they are time-consuming screw-ons, but I'm glad because she'd lose them otherwise.
She loves the earrings
My wife was very happy with Diamond earrings that I purchased over the internet. She wares them everyday.Service was great and they delivered them when they said they would.
Blue Nile is the BEST - She loved them
I bought these earrings for my girlfriend and she loved them. For those who have complained they were too small, go to a jewelry store first to see the size and I guarantee that Blue Nile will be cheaper for the size and of a better quality. They really sparkle. It took her a little while to get used to the screw on backs because they made her ears bleed, but after a week or so, she was used to them and absolutely loves them.
Excellent Quality
My wife loved these earrings, these size was just right, I found these earrings to be of much better quality than what I could find locally
I had recently purchased these earrings as a christmas gift for my girlfriend. This was her first pair of platinum earrings, and she absolutely loved them. I highly recommend Blue Nile when purchasing diamonds. Description was accurate and you also get next day free shipping!
i would purchase again from blue nile.
The earrings are perfect, they are very comfortable and i feel secure with the screw back feature.

Goshen News
---- — GOSHEN — The Goshen College worship team, Parables, will use music, personal stories and original drama to worship in congregations and other venues throughout the next year.
The program for 2013-14 was developed by the eight student members, with direction and leadership from Deb Brubaker, professor of music, and Gwen Gustafson-Zook, minister of worship.
This year's theme, "Where the River Will Never Run Dry," focuses on songs and stories of healing and home, addressing the deep-seated need to experience God as the ever-present source of our belonging.
"As the students worked with the music, biblical texts and their own personal stories, central issues of healing and home emerged, resulting in this year's theme," Gustafson-Zook said.
The Parables team includes: Prashansa Dickson, a sophomore psychology and sociology double major from Allahbad, India; Miranda Earnhart, a sophomore music education major from Milford; Martin Flowers, a sophomore music and theater double major from Nappanee; Benjamin Ganger, a sophomore music major from Goshen; Rachel Mast, a senior music major from Corvallis, Ore.; Becky Snider, a junior music education major from Broadway, Va.; Brody Thomas, a junior music education major from Springs, Pa.; and Paul Zehr, a sophomore music and theater double major from Carthage, N.Y.

Women's Soccer Ties Mercer
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Different opponent, same score. After playing to a 1-1 draw on Friday night, the FGCU women's soccer team duplicated that result Sunday afternoon, this time against the Mercer Bears. With the tie, FGCU's record now stands at 5-2-2 (0-0-2 A-Sun), while Mercer goes to 4-3-3 (1-0-1 A-Sun).
"I think this was a great result. Mercer is a quality team and they definitely came to play today; they put us on our heels right from the start. But we made some good adjustments, found a way to fight back, and I think that shows the kind of character our girls have."
Playing in a light, but persistent rain, both sides fought hard through a scoreless first half. The Bears came out with a lot of pressure, taking the first four shots of the game. The Eagles would not register a shot until Olivia Elias put one on goal in the 35th minute.
Mercer got on the board first on a free kick, earned by Olivia Tucker. After Tucker was fouled, Heather Manting curled the free kick towards the far post and Tucker finished it off with a header into the top right corner, giving the Bears a 1-0 lead. Shortly thereafter, FGCU coach Jim Blankenship decided to take a gamble and put an extra forward on, in hopes of creating some more offense.
For the next ten minutes the Eagles were able to control the ball better than they had all day, but still couldn't dent the scoreboard, as they only took one shot during that period. That all changed in the 83rd minute. Casey Lademann gained possession near midfield, and after making a great move around a Bears midfielder, she unleashed a near-perfect through ball towards Lindsey Haw, who was making a run straight down the middle of field. Haw showed great vision and awareness as she flicked the pass from Lademann directly to Stacey Payne, who worked her way around the Mercer defense, and slipped a shot past Jean Worts just inside the right post to even the score at 1-1. Both teams had chances during the two overtime periods, as the Eagles' Amanda Goble took a shot from distance that required Worts to deflect over the net, while Mercer's Emerald Phillips flicked a shot off an Eagle defender and then off the post. The ball appeared to roll onto the line, but never fully crossed.
Stephanie Powers played well in goal for the Eagles, earning 6 saves, while Jean Worts was equally impressive for the Bears, registering 5 saves. Shots were even at 13 apiece, with Mercer putting 7 shots on goal, and the Eagles putting 6 shots on goal. Olivia Tucker of Mercer led the way with 4 shots, all on goal, while the Eagles' Olivia Elias led her team with 4 shots, 2 of which were on goal.
Next up for the Eagles is trip to Buies Creek, NC for a meeting with Campbell on Thursday, October 5th. The next home game for the women's soccer team is Friday, October 17th, as the Eagles will host Lipscomb at 7:00 PM. That game will be a Family Weekend Special, as all Family Weekend guests will receive free admission as well as a give-away.

Three men face charges after police say they admitted to burglaries in four counties.
Deputies arrested Bradley Alan Neisen, 28, of Evansdale; Terrance James Berns, 29, of Clarksville; and Jeffrey Joseph Gretillat, 27, of Clarksville. The three were arrested Thursday, according to police.
Authorities say they burglarized an automotive shop in Rudd, a food establishment in Mason City and two businesses in Floyd.
The three also admitted to previous burglaries in Black Hawk County and Fayette County.
Gretillat is also charged with burglary in a fifth county -- he is accused of breaking into the Main Street Station in Ionia, according to the Chickasaw County Sheriff's Office.
Police detained the three after the Butler County Sheriff's Office stopped a vehicle believed to be involved in the Floyd burglaries, according to the Floyd County Sheriff's Office.

Attempted kidnapping near Menlo-Atherton High School

why was an attepted kidnapping that occurred on July 10th not posted online until July 14? It was posted to your Almanac website on Fri the 13th, still 3 days after incident occurred.
Seems strange that in today's electronic day and age the public isn't alerted to an incident such as this within the hour.

Men's Soccer Drops 1-0 Decision to Belmont

JACKSONVILLE, Fla
.- The Jacksonville University men's soccer team fell at home against Belmont by a final score of 1-0 on Saturday night.
The Dolphins (1-5-1) weren't outworked or outhustled; they simply were unable to put the ball in the net. Belmont scored early in the matchup after they were able to get sophomore forward Raphael Colmanette in a one-on-one situation out in front of goal. With Gavin Carlin advancing towards him, he chipped the ball over the top for a quick 1-0 lead in the 6th minute.
Outshot 9-0 in the first half, the Dolphins did their best to create more opportunities in the second period. JU notched four shots on goal in the frame and their best break at scoring occurred midway in the period as midfielder
Ivo Lima
controlled a cross with a pair of touches but had his shot deflected out for a corner kick.
Gavin Carlin
recorded five saves in the match and midfielders
Juan Arguedas
Hector Vega
each had two shots with one shot on goal.
Jacksonville returns to Southern Oak Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 5 at 5 p.m. to face Davidson in the last match before Atlantic Sun action.

To move a term or quantity from one side of an algebraic equation to the other by adding or subtracting that term to or from both sides. By subtracting 2 from both sides of the equation 2 + x = 4, one can transpose the 2 to the other side, yielding x = 4 - 2, and thus determine that x equals 2.

Saginaw Police are investigating what they're calling a suspicious death at 1810 Boxwood, just off Holland Avenue, in Saginaw.
TV5's Gino Vicci reports that a woman's body was found Thursday around 11 a.m. in the passenger seat inside a Buick Rendezvous at the address. A K-9 unit was used to investigate around the neighborhood.
The family tells Vicci the woman was 22-year-old Kia Frierson.
Police said the woman appeared to have been shot. An autopsy is pending to confirm cause of death.
The Michigan State Police mobile crime lab has been called in to assist with the investigation.
According to one family member at the scene, Frierson was four to five months pregnant. A family friend told TV5 that her whereabouts were unknown until her car was spotted on the news in the driveway on Boxwood. They also say that she didn't live at that address.
Investigators were seen questioning at least one person. That man, according to neighbors, was taken in for questioning, but later released.
Police are asking that anyone with information on the woman's death call them at 989-759-1598.
If police rule this woman's death a homicide, it will be the city's ninth in 2013.
We'll update this story as we learn new facts in the case.
