4.1/5 rDev +12.3%
355ml bottle. Convincing Soviet-era workers' imagery depicted on the label.
This beer pours a clear, bright medium copper amber hue, with one finger of somewhat puffy, and mostly foamy beige head, which leaves some sudsy lace around the glass as it steadily settles.
It smells of sharp, candied orchard fruit, rich bready, and mildly biscuity caramel malt, a soft nuttiness, and floral, somewhat herbal hops. The taste is a nice biscuity, grainy caramel malt, a touch of seasonal (pick any one this time of year) spice, mild earthy dark fruit, and decent herbal, grassy hops.
The carbonation is fairly sedate, but still supportive in its playful stabs at frothiness, the body a comfortable medium weight, and pleasantly, simply smooth. It finishes with a surprising, and entirely welcome, wafting caramel/vanilla updraft, tempered yet by the enduring biscuit malt and grassy/herbal hop notes.
Well, this is most definitely an Oktoberfest/Marzen, its sweetness pushing it beyond the initially tempting ESB red herring markings. If this is "Old World Style" for a red beer, then more red beer brewers should follow Paddock Wood's lead in looking to the past - but I'm sure it's not just the historical context that's responsible here...anyways, glad I have the rest of the six-pack for the next, imminent holiday party through which I must navigate - looks like I'm in good hands.

355ml bottle poured into pint glass 9/10/11
A clear dark copper with lots of little bubbles but not much for head or lace
S a fruity nut bar with some hard toffee a little herbal hops and plenty of sweet malty goodness, fairly earthy and right on for the style
T what I smell but a little leafy tea bag and some booze, not quite as nice as the smell but still pretty darn good
M medium bodied with a sweet after taste that lingers
O pretty solid Marzen that's working well with this chilly fall weather and the turkey dinner making me fatter
I didn't even realize this was in the mixed pack I picked up but I'm happy its in there. I didn't even know these guys had this in their lineup. worth a shot for sure

This was the rotating Paddock Wood tap, when I visited Craft Beer Market, in Calgary.
Clear, dark reddish / coppery color, short head without much staying power of lace.
Smell had much more hops than I was expecting, fruity and herbal, with some malt behind.
Taste was also pleasantly hoppy as well. Nicely balanced blend of earthy hops and malts. A bit of toasted, nutty flavor at the end. Medium body, full moputhfeel. Sweet (but not overly)aftertaste.
Well done, another solid Paddock Wood offering.

3.93/5 rDev +7.7%
A - hazy red-brown, one finger of tan head dissipated to a thin cover, fairly consistent lacing around
S - big nutty malt aroma, some earthiness and light brown sugar, touch of leafiness
T - strong mix of nutty and blood-like flavours more consistent with a dunkel, light toffee, grains, and leafy hops in the background
M - medium body with a smooth feel and appropriate carbonation, starts sticky and finishes with a bit of a mineral mouth coating feel
O - this beer grew on me the more of it I had, definitely a hearty type brew that brought me back to dark brews I had in Munich at Oktoberfest, well worth a purchase

Appearance - Pours a foggy copper red/brown with a finger width of foamy head.
Smell - Plum, cherry, slightly nutty, syrup aromas.
Taste - Nice balance of syrup/sap flavours with dark fruits. Slightly nutty (like the aroma) and toasty.
Mouthfeel - Medium bodied with light carbonation. Good smoothness and tingle.
Overall - A good representation of a märzen by Paddock Wood. There are some enjoyable earthy flavours that are well balanced, as well as a nice body. Definitely worth a try if you enjoy the style.

Enjoyed a bottle from a mixed pack. Paddock Wood is one of my favorite Western Canadian craft breweries and although I've had this beer many times, a proper review involves a specific tasting session (in my view). This beer pours a very dark almost cola-like brown hue with a decent dose of brown foam, considerably darker than many European Marzen/Oktoberfests. This is in fact a red ale rather than an Oktoberfest, although I think the intent is to do a hybrid style, an ale that tastes like a traditional European lager. In a nutshell, it works. Aroma speaks to a rich malty depth and some dark fruits, with a whiff of booze consistent with a higher than average ABV. Taste is consistent with this but not mediocre and well worth sampling. Fruity top notes evoke plums and cherries but there is a rich underlay of dark bread crust, mellow molasses, biscuit, grain husk, a little yeasty funkiness, and brown spice that reminds one of a less sweet cola. Is that a sneaky hint of burnt banana peel? A floral hop perfume like sweet roses and fresh hay. Overall assessment is that this brew features more assertive and bold malt flavors than many European Marzen/Oktoberfests, perhaps less complex but still with ample character that reveals itself as you go. The ale approach also seems to accentuate the fruit, as one would expect.

355ml brown bottle with pry-off cap poured in a pint glass. This was from a "Big Box o Beer" 12 pack mixer also with London Porter, Loki and 606.
Amber red and cloudy. Beige head is 3/8 inch on the pour. Recedes to a few islands with spots of lacing here and there.
Aroma is malty and juicy. Sweet malts, fruity, kinda like malt & juicy fruit.
Nicely balanced. Caramel malts with citrus hops off the start and smoothly, slowly evolves to a semi-bitter hop finish. Also has hints of pecans and grass.
A nice easy going highly drinkable red ale. First time I had it was in this 12 pack and I quite enjoy it.

3.05/5 rDev -16.4%
A- The first thing noted with this beer is the apparent lack of head....there is a film that retains well but nothing more. The color is coppery red with some slight chill haze. There appears to be lots of carbonation and lacing is minimal. A below average looking beer for this style, in my opinion.
S- The aromas are very much what they should be for a Marzen. Malt sweetness dominates, and has a nutty and or toffee like smell...very nice! Hop bitterness is minimal, as it should be, and I also get a very slight whiff of alcohol.
T- The booziness of this one comes through right up front, of which I'm not really a fan of. After this, there is a dryness about the beer, and the malt sweetness I find, is muted. Overall, this is a clean tasting beer and doesn't have the robust flavor that I was hoping for.
M- The carbonation isn't offensive, as it is rather creamy with just a bit of zing. The body is medium but it is on the soft side of that description. I don't get much from this on my palate, other than a mildly roasty brew that is more bitter than I would like.
O- Sorry, but I don't find this to be a very good version of an Oktoberfest style beer. Slightly to boozy, and with muted flavor, I find this to be an underachieving beer that has more to offer. Very average overall!

335ml bottle poured into a 16oz pint glass. Not totally sure on the style.
A - Thin bubbly head, tan colored. Glowing amber-orange hue to the beer. Very little head. No real lacing.
S - Robust malty character. Caramel is strong. A little one dimensional. I can't pick much more out, but I like what I can. Pretty sweet.
T - Caramel malt is strong upfront, and the finish is comprised of spice and light hop bitterness. Alcohol is detectable, which shouldn't be a problem with a 6% ABV beer... Aside from that, pretty simple, maybe even a bit watered-down feeling.
M - Really full bodied mouthfeel. Decent amount of carbonation. A bit of spice in the finish.
D - Decent, but nothing special. Could have definitely used a little more flavor.

Poured from a 330 ml bottle into the beery beer type glass.
A-a dark red-brown colour. Looks clear, but dark enough that is difficult to see through. About one finger of tan coloured head drops fast. Not a lot of carbonation based on appearance alone. Spots of lacing left behind.
S-smells like a loaf of fresh bread with a hint of hops. Get whiffs of alcohol.
T-malt forward and a touch of caramel followed by a mild to moderate hop bitterness.
M-slightly creamy with little carbonation.
O-A very balanced beer. With the amount of malt in the taste it migh be reasonable to expect the hops to be lacking, but I think they hit the sweet spot with bitterness. Didn't know what to expect as it doesnt market itself in any given style, but I enjoyed the overall experience.

|Omaha Public Library awarded grant to host 'Let's Talk About It: Muslim Journeys' reading and discussion series
|September 24, 2013
Omaha Public Library (OPL) received a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) and the American Library Association (ALA) to host a five-part reading and discussion series titled Let's Talk About It: Muslim Journeys. OPL is one of 125 libraries and state humanities councils across the country selected to participate in the project, which seeks to familiarize public audiences in the United States with the people, places, history, faith and cultures of Muslims in the United States and around the world.
"We are delighted to host this unique series that will allow patrons a chance to discuss some important themes in Muslim history and literature with the help of a well-qualified scholar," said Gary Wasdin, OPL executive director.
All programs in the series will be led by Dr. Paul A. Williams, chair and associate professor of religious studies at the University of Nebraska Omaha, and held at Millard Branch, 13214 Westwood Ln. Programming will seek a way of understanding how Islam and the West are seen as products of a shared, cosmopolitan and inextricably intertwined past. The books discussed at each event help envision the world of our ancestors, which was as complex and dynamically interconnected as the world we live in today. The programs are free to attend and books will be made available for participants. People are welcome to attend one session or all five. To register or for more information, visit omahalibrary.org or call 402.444.3399. Following the series conclusion, the books featured in each program and several others in the collection will be added to OPL's catalog and made available for check out to the general public.
All of the books to be discussed in this series are part of the Bridging Cultures Bookshelf: Muslim Journeys. The books and films comprising the Bookshelf were selected with the advice of librarians and cultural programming experts, as well as distinguished scholars in the fields of anthropology, world history, religious studies, interfaith dialogue, the history of art and architecture, world literature, Middle East studies, Southeast Asian studies, African studies, and Islamic studies.
The Bridging Cultures Bookshelf is a project of NEH, conducted in cooperation with the ALA Public Programs Office, with support from the Carnegie Corporation of New York. Additional support for the arts and media components was provided by the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Arts. Special thanks to Tri-Faith Initiative for program support efforts.
Visit omahalibrary.org for information about additional programs offered at Omaha Public Library's 12 metro locations.

As of Wednesday, February 13, 2013
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- A Marine Corps veteran is on a mission to walk to every state capital while raising awareness and money for wounded veterans.
Carrying an American flag, Mac McQuown briskly walked east from Sylvester on Sylvester Road to the Dougherty County line Wednesday on his way to Atlanta.
"I'm walking 15,000 miles to raise awareness for wounded veterans and money to help them," McQuown said. "It is for veterans of all wars. I'm also partnered with Silver Star Families of America."
Racking up more than 1,580 walking miles so far, McQuown has visited six capitols, Annapolis, Trenton, Richmond, Raleigh, Columbus and Tallahassee.
McQuown said he averages about 15 miles a day, rain or shine. He takes Sundays, Thanksgiving and Christmas to rest and honor the Sabbath. He expects it will take him years to accomplish the mission.
A Worth County Sheriff's Office patrol car kept its blue lights on and drove behind McQuown while he walked in Worth County on Wednesday.. Once McQuown made his daily mileage goal, the patrol car takes him back to a fire station.
Firefighters, church leaders and others have been finding room for McQuown to stay over on his trek. Sometimes people volunteer and rent him a motel room.
As a partner with Silver Star Families of America McQuown's website operationwalkamerica.webs.com explains some goals:
"The Silver Star Families of America is a non-profit public charity committed to supporting the United States combat wounded, ill, injured and dying military members and veterans from all wars, past and present, and honoring their sacrifice with Silver Star Service Banners."

236 years latter, 56 brave men, from 13 Colonies, millions of lives lost, million of Veterans lives and their families, changed due to the ravages of War, and every Veteran, and every Family member of every Veteran need to ask themselves, am I protecting the Constitution of the U.S. I pledged to protect or did someone make a change and I didn't get the Memo?
Before I speak about my experiences, I want to thank all of our law enforcement, our intelligence services and especially our military personnel for keeping us free from terrorism for the past 8 years. It is not luck or co-incidence!! It is hard work by dedicated patriots. We should not take for granted our safety and our freedoms.

Last week we wrote about the new WormToolbox automated imaging software, used to capture single images of the C. elegans roundworm. See the news story here.
While it's one thing to describe the technology, we thought we'd share several images from real Broad Institute experiments using the WormToolbox program.
Even when everything is in working order, the team in the Broad's Genome Sequencing Platform is never completely satisfied. Someone is always tinkering, inventing, or thinking about a way to strengthen one of the links in the chain of events that leads to sequenced DNA.
Look around the Broad's public spaces, and you'll find that the Broad is "Unfolding." That's the title of an exhibition featuring the work that artist-in-residence Guhapriya Ranganathan has created during her two-year collaboration with scientists here. Tonight, Ranganathan, known as Gupi, will give a talk at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston about that collaboration.
If there were just one book of biology, it would be rewritten constantly with the sometimes dramatic, more often incremental advances in understanding that come with the nature of science. Constant revision can come with insight – think Darwin – or with technology – witness faster, cheaper sequencing machines – or with both.
Over the past five years, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified about 2,000 common genetic variations that underlie human disease risk. Earlier this week, we told you about a model Broad researchers and collaborators developed to help explain how thousands of other common genetic variations with low effect size combine to contribute to disease risk in rheumatoid arthritis and three other common diseases with a known genetic link.
Picture a game of chess between the immune system and HIV. For every move the immune system makes against the virus, its opponent adapts, changing the game and shifting the advantage. But what if you could turn the clock back and watch the first few moves of the game? What could you learn about the virus from its opening moves?
Researchers from the Broad Institute and the Ragon Institute of Massachusetts General Hospital, MIT, and Harvard set out to take a careful look at a viral population during the critical time period just after infection.
The Broad Institute's Director Eric Lander is among the recipients of the 2012 Dan David Prize – a prestigious Israeli award for achievements having an outstanding scientific, technological, cultural or social impact.
It's been a long time since Chad Nusbaum has seen a conference room go so quiet so fast.
A speaker from Oxford Nanopore Technologies had just described the company's new disposable device, which will sell for less than $900. The size of a USB memory stick, it reads individual chemical bases on a strand of DNA as it passes through a tiny hole, measuring differences in electrical conductivity to reveal their identity. A larger version of the device will stack in arrays that are projected to be able to sequence a human genome in 15 minutes.
When you speak with Kimberly Stegmaier about her work as a pediatric oncologist at Children's Hospital Boston, it is clear that she loves treating patients, particularly children with hematological cancers like leukemia. Kim devotes her time to caring for children through the in-patient oncology service yet she also maintains long-term clinical relationships with patients she has been treating since completing her pediatric hematology oncology residency.
In 1987, Peter Gregersen was part of a big breakthrough in the field of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) research. By comparing versions of a particular gene in patients with RA to those without the disease, Peter and his colleagues found a telltale stretch of amino acids – the building blocks of proteins – that seemed to distinguish those who had RA from those who did not.

May Bible ReadingSunday, April 30th, 2006
A good friend recommended this schedule. It was published back in 1983 by Fullgrowth Ministries of Tulsa, OK. Here is how that publication recommends you use their schedule:
If you follow this plan devised by Fullgrowth Ministries of Tulsa, Oklahoma, you'll read the New Testament through twice and the Old Testament once during the next 12 months.
The plan recommends that you do your reading at a specific quiet time each day. If you miss a day, continue with the current day's reading and catch up when you have extra time. After you finish your day's reading, mark off that day.
The Old Testament portions are presented as nearly as possible in chronological order. Passages from prophets are included in the historical narrative where they were given, they are often given in a single day's reading.
You'll encounter Psalms throughout the year. Frequently, a Psalm that fits a particular passage has been placed with that passage.
As you enter the New Testament, you'll read Luke and Acts first, then the letters – with periodic passages from other Gospels – and, finally, Revelation. Thus, the story of the life of Christ is constantly related to your Christian life.
I want to add how very important it is that you follow the guidelines given to read the passages for the date given and catch up when you have time. I have tried reading catch up stuff before the current day's reading after a family crisis took me away from reading for a couple of days and it just didn't work.
I have provided here the reading for the month of May. The photocopy that I have says that this schedule is copyrighted by Fullgrowth Ministries, but it also says, "feel free to re-print this chart for use in your church, Sunday school, or just to give to friends." You are my friend if you got this far into this post. I hope this blesses you as much as it has my wife and me. I do plan to post each month's schedule from the chart before each month begins in the future.
You can listen to some of my readings from the Bible on The Living Bible page of this blog. Thanks for visiting.

Single-Family Housing Starts Rise 7% in August
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Housing starts rose in August, but homebuilders are still building far fewer homes than expected.
Total housing starts for August was a seasonally adjusted annualized rate of 891,000, 0.9% higher than the downwardly revised July estimate of 883,000 and 19% above the August 2012 rate of 749,000.
Economists polled by Bloomberg expected housing starts to rise to 915,000 from the original estimate of 896,000.
Still, single-family housing starts rose 7% in August to a rate of 628,000 from July. Multi-family starts, which are more volatile, fell by nearly 10%.Building permits declined 3.8% from the upwardly revised July estimate of 954,000 to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 918,000. Economists expected permits to rise to a rate of 950,000 from the original estimate of 943,000. Homebuilder confidence has been high in the last several months, but in the most recent survey , builders reported increasing hesitancy on the part of buyers as interest rates have risen. New home sales plunged more than 13% in July. Homebuilders are more sensitive to interest-rate hikes as they tend to cater to mortgage-dependent buyers. Housing starts have lagged other indicators in the recovery. One reason is the industry is still recovering from the housing bust and it has taken time for builders to ramp up. With household formation below normal, homebuilders have been wary of overbuilding. Homebuilders have also kept their inventory lean amid a shortage of labor and supplies and chosen to hike prices instead to boost their margins. But with the recent slowdown in the buying frenzy, builders may be rethinking those price hikes. Mortgage applications in the most recent week ended Sept. 13 climbed 11.2%, with the purchase index up 3% from a week earlier on a seasonally adjusted basis. Unadjusted, the purchase index was up 12% from the week earlier. But on year-over-year basis, applications were up only 1%, hardly robust. Still there is pent-up demand and the overall supply of homes for sale is still low on an absolute basis. A healthy recovery in housing starts is essential for the housing market to get back to normal.

DeMarcus Ware stands above most of his pass rushing peers. For good reason. Look at what he did to Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan early in the second quarter of a Sunday night matchup.
Ware comes around the edge unblocked, a huge mistake by the Falcons in pass protection. It's pretty simple from there. He flies in, lays out Matt Ryan who fumbles the ball, a sack-fumble. Roddy White recovered for the Falcons, but they still ended up punting on the drive.
Whatever faults the Cowboys may have, and there are many, Ware is not one of them.

November 1, 2010
At the beginning of every month, I like to look back on the previous month and see what we can take from it in terms of climate. October 2010 did not have any earth shattering weather events around here, but there are a few things that stand out. Let's delve deeper into the numbers...
The mean temperature last month at Harrisburg International Airport was 55.9 degrees. This is actually 1.4 degrees above normal. It was a warm month during October. We actually had 14 days where the temperature reached 70 degrees or higher. That's almost half the month! This seems to be following right in line with the warm summer that we had this past year. The highest temperature recorded last month occurred on October 11 at 80 degrees. The highest temperature ever recorded during October at HIA was 97 back on October 7, 1941. Last month's low was 35 recorded on the morning of October 30. The record low for the month was recorded on October 24, 1969 at 23 degrees. October can certainly have its extremes, but this year, nothing too wild stood out in the temperature department.
The rain gauge at the airport recorded 2.54 inches during October 2010. This was 0.52 inches under the average for the month. While normally we record over 3 inches during October, this year was slightly dry, but again...nothing too wild or overly impressive. We only recorded some form of rainfall on 13 out of 31 days last month which probably helped the rainfall totals be somewhat under whelming. The greatest 24 hour total actually came as the beginning of the month between September 30 and October 1 with 3.27 inches. Most of that obviously fell on the 30th. For some perspective, the record for most rainfall in October is 9.87 inches back in 1976. The driest October on record was back in 1924 with only 0.02 inches of rain!
October 2010 was fairly calm and I'm wondering what that means for the upcoming winter. We had no flurries during October and I'm not really expecting any through the first week of November. NOAA released their winter outlook last week and I didn't get the chance for blog about it just yet. I'm hoping to get to it later this week...stay tuned!

Account Manager & Nans
Enticed by the rumours of free popcorn at the Cape Town QuirkStation, Nana Gyima joined our Client Service team as a Trainee Account Executive in February 2012. While she dreamt of becoming an Olympic track and field athlete like Carl Lewis, Nana's career took a different course. After matric, she set off to complete her Bachelor of Laws (LLB) which she followed up with a Master of Laws (LLM) in 2007.
Why digital? Nana, or just plain Nans, says it's 'cause digital never sleeps and never gets boring. She's also currently addicted to include News24, MediaTakeout and the Huffington Post. Although she might be described as quiet, considered and loyal, Nans is driven mad by people chewing gum. Shaun Oakes, beware!

Gift Ideas for Poor Creative Souls (12)
Posted by: Cathy on Jun 03, 2012
Summer Lights Garland
I loved this idea and who would not love to receive this pretty gift. With summer around the corner this would look amazing on a terrace on a warm summer's night when socialising with friends. It is very simple to make and the materials are minimal.
What you need:
string of LED lights with white wire (regular lights may get too hot)
plastic drinking cups
patterned paper of your choice
double sided tape
craft knife
1. Cut apart one plastic cup and flatten it out. Trace the flattened out cup onto a piece of paper to make your template. Make as many shade cut outs as you will need to cover each bulb on your string of lights.
2. Using double sided tape, stick one end of the shade to a cup. Add another piece of tape to the other end and then wrap the card around the cup ensuring that the ends meet neatly. Repeat until all cups are covered.
3. Use a pencil to mark an X in the center on the bottom of the cups. Then use a craft knife to cut carefully. This is where the bulb will go through so do not make it too big or the cups will slip off. Repeat for all cups.

Theatre production designer Alan Tagg died November 4 in London. He was 74.
Tagg's career spanned several eras in London theatre, from the early days of the upstart Royal Court to productions at the then-new National Theatre and Chichester Festival. His work was also seen at Royal Shakespeare Company, the West End, and on Broadway.
Tagg was born in Sutton-in-Ashfield, England, and trained at the Old Vic Theatre School. One of his early successes was the original production of Look Back in Anger, John Osborne's kitchen-sink drama, which, with its brutally frank dialogue and grimy setting, caused an earthquake in British theatre. He also designed The Entertainer,one of Osborne's greatest hits, which was notable for its depiction of a seedy seaside music hall. He was, however, equally at home with other kinds of plays. His designs seen in New York included Look Back in Anger (1957), The Entertainer (1958), All in Good Time (a flop in 1965), Black Comedy (1967, which earned him a Tony nomination), the Royal Shakespeare Company revival of Dion Boucicault's London Assurance (1974), The Constant Wife (1975, starring Ingrid Bergman), The Kingfisher (1978, with Rex Harrison and Claudette Colbert), Whose Life Is It, Anyway? (1979), Corpse! (1985), and Lettice and Lovage(1990, with Maggie Smith). Tagg generally designed scenery only, although he did costumes for some productions as well.
According to The New York Times obituary, Tagg once "said that scenery should not draw attention to itself but should simply provide the backdrop, 'just as long as the actors don't bump into it.'"

Hotel Booking Sites I'm Obsessed With
Some people like to sit on their couch and watch sports in their spare time. Me, I like to thumb through travel booking sites. All of the travel booking sites. Imagining my next trip. I like to see what the same hotel will cost me on different sites, and if there's an advantage to booking on one site over another. (Even when I'm not going anywhere.) This was made particularly clear during our trip to Bogota, where Ms. Roam & Home scored us a great discount at the B.O.G. Hotel on Splendia, a new site for me.
If you're a travel aficionado, I'm probably not going to be telling you anything new. But maybe you don't know about all these sites. If so, I consider it my duty to tell you. Also, you should really join these sites just for the welcome booking bonuses and referral credits alone.
LuxuryLink.com: $50 credit on your first purchase! Now that's awesome. I like the global selection of hotels and villas and also the tidy arrangement of what's on sale (newest, best selling, closing soon, highest percent off retail). Also, they have a selection of vacation packages that are available by auction or "Buy it Now" prices. For example, there's a great deal at the Miraflores Park Hotel in Lima for two nights for $717 USD. Breakfast for two and massages for two are included in the rate. Visit LuxuryLink.com and search for Miraflores Park Hotel for more info. LuxuryLink.com also includes forums blogs, and live chats too. 17 hotels in London, to give you an indication. Register for LuxuryLink.com now.
Splendia.com: For every friend you invite, you receive a 20 euro credit. Splendia says they offer 3000 luxury hotels worldwide and I just checked out the London selection and it is pretty impressive. (48 hotels as of this writing.) I like the "Splendia Club" aspect which gives you 2% of the total amount paid for a booking as a credit on future bookings. (If you become a Gold member, you'll get 4%.) My Bogota trip earned me $16.02 for use on a future booking, but you need at least 20 euros to get started using your credits. The site offers a small number of private sales each day. Register for Splendia.com now.
TabletHotels.com. Earn 25 Tablet Credits per reservation and earn 25 credits when your friends book. A Tablet Credit seems to be equivalent to $1 USD but that's not entirely clear to me just yet. They have 55 London hotels on their list. I like how if a hotel's ratings fall below 16 points, they take the hotel off their list. They have a small selection of private sales (there are two active right now), along with a general section of deals. They have travel guides written by hotel concierges, a magazine, and a cool membership program called "Tablet Plus." With Tablet Plus, you pay $195 a year and that gives you access to upgrades, special perks, and bonus amenities. Register for TabletHotels.com now.
JetSetter.com: You'll earn a $25 credit for every friend you refer who makes a booking. They offer 34 London hotels. There are daily deals, which I think is one of the main attractions of JetSetter.com. I love to live vicariously through the daily deals. Also, there are editors' picks and a magazine. You can also pay $250 for a travel consultant who will help you plan your next trip, which is a neat feature. When checking out the different hotels on offer, it looks like JetSetter sometimes arranges a few perks with different rooms. For example, at The Royalton in New York, the Jetsetter rate for deluxe rooms also includes a 2 p.m. late checkout, and for Loft Suite Kings and Alcove suites, the Jetsetter rate also includes two free signature cocktails per stay. Register for JetSetter.com now.
I did a little price comparison of deals from the four sites over here on a Google doc. I was looking at the Miraflores Lima Hotel because all four sites offered it. One of the main differences I found between the sites is whether they offered rooms with cancellation penalties or not. You can see that in the pricing. (I took the best available price from each site, regardless of cancellation penalty.) Hard to say who comes out on top after you factor in things like Splendia's membership credits and things like TabletPlus from TabletHotels.com. Also, LuxuryLink had a GREAT package deal if you were up for the Junior Suite option. Lots to think about…

New Mississippi State basketball coaches Rick Ray and Vic Schaefer are taking Maroon Madness to the street this year.
The Mississippi State men's and women's basket ball teams officially open their 2013 basketball campaigns with the 2nd Annual Maroon Madness to be held downtown on Oct. 12 in conjunction with Pumpkinpalooza, the city's fall festival that features trick-or-treating, late-night shopping and dining and other action-packed events for the entire family. There will also be a Pumpkin Patch on Main Street featuring locally-grown pumpkins and mums that will be for sale.
This year, though, basketball has been added as MSU enters new eras with coaches Rick Ray and Vic Schaefer. A court will be constructed on the east end of Main Street in front of Sullivan's Office Supply, and Maroon Madness will begin around 6 p.m.
Both the men's and women's teams will unveil their new uniforms, while the night will also feature dunk and 3-point shooting contests as well as many other activities involving fans, players and coaches. The 45-minute event will conclude with an autograph session.
"This is a unique, exciting opportunity for our fans to come downtown and experience the new format with Maroon Madness," Ray said. "To be able to partner with PumpkinPalooza and have basketball at the same time is a win-win for everyone. I know our players are excited and this will be a great opportunity to mingle with our fans in a different environment."
While there is downtown parking, a free shuttle for all fans departing from Humphrey Coliseum will be available starting at 5 p.m.
In case of inclement weather, Maroon Madness will be moved indoors on the Mississippi State campus at Newell-Grissom, home of the MSU volleyball team, with a start time set for 5 p.m.
"Maroon Madness is a great opportunity for the people in our community to meet our players," Schaefer said. "It's going to be a lot of fun for us and our fans. We are looking forward to going out to Pumpkinpalooza and interacting with our fans and selling our program."

About Testing With WVHEA
Mary Ellen Sullivan, WVHEA Testing Service Coordinator
WVHEA's testing service takes up a huge chunk of this
organization's attention. We have been offering this service since 1991, and
it has evolved over the years to best serve West Virginia homeschoolers. It is
the only service that we contract out to an outside professional to coordinate.
Many people have questions about large-scale testing, and
homeschoolers tend to be more inquisitive than the average consumer.
Does the law require annual testing?
No. WV homeschoolers can choose from four assessment options,
and two of these involve large-scale tests. WVHEA's testing service is
designed to comply with one of these, option D(i), the standardized achievement
test option.
What test is used?
WVHEA uses the TerraNova, published by CTB/McGraw-Hill,
but other nationally normed standardized achievement tests like the Stanford and
the Iowa are also acceptable under §18-8-1.
Does the law specify details of test administration?
Yes. It says it must "be administered under standardized
conditions as set forth by the published instructions of the test."
What are "standardized conditions"?
The instructions vary with each test, but in general,
standardized conditions ensure that the tests are administered exactly the same
way they were administered to a reference group (called the "norm" group)
that took the test during its development.
Why is standardized administration important?
Scores on standardized achievement tests are reported as
percentiles, a comparison to the norm group's performance. That comparison
would not be very meaningful if everyone took the test under different
conditions or with different directions.
Can students use
calculators during the test?
No. WVHEA has always had a policy
that calculators cannot be used for the TerraNova for any levels.
How much does it cost to test with WVHEA?
The basic fee per test is $35. Discounts are available for
early ordering and payment, and for WVHEA members. Additional fees are added for
late orders and private testing.
How do I order tests?
A testing
order form/brochure is mailed each November to everyone on our mailing list:
not just members, but also those who have tested with us in the past or
requested information. Detailed instructions for ordering are included in the
brochure. Click here for a brochure.
What are the deadlines for ordering
Order deadline is February 28 (2/29
in leap years). No tests orders are taken during March and April; that's when
actual testing takes place so it's a very busy time. There are discounts for
early-bird orders and late fees are assessed for orders after early February.
See the current testing order
form/brochure for this year's schedule and how to avoid late fees.
When will testing take place?
The actual testing will be
scheduled some time in March or April. Your area test coordinator will notify
you about the time and place of group testing. Our service works best when
people test in groups during the regular testing season, but if you've missed
the deadlines and need testing during May or June, WVHEA will help you arrange
this. Area coordinators do not agree to do late testing, so contact them on
When must tests be returned?
To avoid additional fees, testing
materials must be returned by the date in April noted in the test order
When will we get the test scores?
You'll receive test scores by
Where do I send our order?
The ordering process works through a series of area
coordinators, who volunteer to collect orders from their area and forward them
to the state coordinator. This system encourages homeschoolers to work together
to ensure there are enough qualified testers to carry out the testing in each
part of the state, and it eases communication.
Can't I order directly through a central office?
WVHEA does not have an office. In certain circumstances, as
where there is no coordinator in your area, individual orders are accepted, but
an additional fee is added to cover costs. It's still necessary
to have a qualified tester, which is easier to find if you're part of a group.
What makes a tester qualified?
publisher recommends that each tester be trained specifically in administration
of standardized tests. To comply with that request, WVHEA has conducted
tester-training workshops throughout the state since it began its testing
service. Every tester must have completed training in standardized test
administration within the past five years.
What if there's no coordinator in
my area?
You can volunteer to coordinate
testing for a local or area group. If you are willing to donate your time, work
with others to make sure testing goes smoothly, and keep things organized and on
time, you're qualified! Area coordinators get a 50% discount on all testing
fees for their own children.
What if I don't have time for all
Some areas succeed in working
together for testing. One person might take the calls, another the mail-in
orders, one can work on finding and scheduling a site, another can work on
finding testers. Try a cooperative system where you are!
Are there other ways to help?
You may find that your small
children make it hard for you to help on testing day, or that you just don't
feel comfortable being a test administrator. You may be able to help your area
coordinator by helping with child care, doing paperwork or phone calls, or
helping arrange the test site. If your kids are being tested, you can and should
help in some way.
Testing hundreds of homeschoolers in a responsible manner in a spread-out state like ours is a challenge. WVHEA realized that right from the start, and voted to make a testing service one of its priorities. This service exists to help homeschoolers comply with the law, and not to provide income for the organization.

A University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill student who
claimed to be the first openly homosexual undocumented immigrant to run for
student body president said he will continue to work to ensure the university
"is affordable, diverse, and reflective of its many voices."
Andrew Powell won the race for student body president
Tuesday, however Emilio Vicente said he will continue working with the student
body to ensure the university is "affordable."
A record number of students voted in this year's student
body president election runoff.
"The record scope of your engagement matches that of
the challenges we face together as a university," Vicente wrote in a
message to the student body. "I look forward to working with all of you to
ensure our university is affordable, diverse and reflective of its many
Vicente has lived in North Carolina for 15 years, but he
says his status at Carolina is an international student because he's
undocumented. Because he's an international student, Vicente said he pays high
tuition and does not qualify for government assistance.
He said he pays for school through a private scholarship.
Vicente said he hoped his campaign would have a benefit
beyond UNC's campus.
"Win or lose, I hope this continues to drive the
conversation of there needs to be reform in the immigration system,"
Vicente said. "We need to fix the immigration system."
Powell called Vicente a "very strong candidate."
"It's been terrific to get to know him over the past
few weeks," Powell said Wednesday.
Powell will assume the role of student body president in

Attain numerous practical tools for empowering yourself and improving everyday life. Imagine yourself as master over your mind and emotions...
Everyone wants to be positive and happy. Yoga teaches us that it is our true nature and yet we struggle with stress and negativity in our busy, fast-paced lives. Our minds are over-stimulated and our senses numbed by the overload of information and the confusion and despair that comes from local, national or world news. In this atmosphere, it is difficult for us to access our innate positive and joyful nature and remember the goodness of people and the grace of God. We lose faith, doubt our path and worry about where the world is going and what will become of us. We need to see clearly and take a break from our busy life to recharge and reconnect with the beauty and meaning of life. We cannot change the external, but we can change our outlook on it. We cannot remake the past and it is not helpful to worry about the future, but we can live in the present and experience the joy and positivity of living in the moment.
There will be workshops specifically on the power of thoughts; how to be in the present; how to turn negative feelings and thoughts to positive feelings; how to manage stress and respond positively to challenges. Yoga psychology and philosophy have a wealth of techniques and information that will help us to cope.
Man has made his own destiny by his own thinking and acting. He can change his destiny. He is the master of his own destiny. There is no doubt of this. By right thinking and strong exertion, he can become the master of his destiny.
— Swami Sivananda

Steak on a Stick Recipe
I combine molasses, mustard and soy sauce to make these the most robust kabobs you've ever tasted. You'll never miss the oil in this hearty marinade. Jennifer Schwerin of Rockford, Illinois
- 1 beef flank steak (1-1/2 pounds)
- 1/2 cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
- 1/4 cup water
- 2 tablespoons molasses
- 2 teaspoons ground mustard
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Freeze steak for 1-1/2 hours. Cut diagonally into 1/4-in. slices. In a small bowl, combine the remaining ingredients. Pour 1/4 cup into another small bowl for basting; cover and refrigerate. Pour remaining marinade into a large resealable plastic bag; add beef. Seal bag and turn to coat; refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
- Drain and discard marinade. Thread beef ribbon-style on 12 metal or soaked wooden skewers. Using long-handled tongs, moisten a paper towel with cooking oil and lightly coat the grill rack.
- Grill beef, covered, over medium heat or broil 4 in. from the heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until meat reaches desired doneness(for medium, a meat thermometer should read 165°; well-done 180°), basting frequently with reserved marinade. Yield: 6 servings.

Nice Bottoms I found the bottom in a local store. I had to size up to an X-Large which is unusual for me. I am between an 8/10 and normally do a large in swim items. Even with the XL, there is a small muffin top which isn't too bad. At least not enough to return them. I like the length of the skirt and how it hides imperfections. I am curvy and hate wearing a traditional suit. The quality is nice, fabric is a great weight. I recently started shopping at TB and have only purchased a couple of things. So far, so good! July 12, 2014
nice skirt I ordered this item in 3 colors to go with other tops I already owned, as I needed to hide a recent surgery scar on my upper leg/hip from the sun for the next year. I had the good fortune to try a skirt on for size in a store so I knew what looked best. I ordered an xs, as they run slightly big. I did not want it to fall off when wet. Most things in Tommy Bahama run a little big for me for the size. I am 5'7" 125 lbs. I usually order size 2 or 4 in this store. I am very satisfied so far, they are flattering, not too long. June 10, 2014
Fabulous skirted bottom! I own this bottom in 5 different colors and prints. I love it! I am 50, fit, and thin, but I have NO backside to speak of. I love to wear a bikini, but typically they are not flattering to my body type. This hipster bottom creates the perfect illusion for my figure. I feel comfortable, sexy and confident in this skirted bottom. I mix and match with several different tops. I usually wear a medium bottom, but the size small fits perfectly. This is a fabulous skirted bottom! May 17, 2014
Flattering on me I've been looking for something a long time until this one, it's just flattering even for a heavy-bottomed like myself, the length is modestly flirty but not too short, like those of figure skaters'. I'm happy with it, and glad to find out it comes with prints too. Just wondering if the white one will come sheer after a dip. April 27, 2014
Perfect fit!!! As cute on as it is in the picture!! Love the variety of different colors and prints!! April 18, 2014
Just right for Mommy I am not a size 2, and I have young children, so I needed a suite that would stay on during activity, cover the mommy bulges - while not making me look like a grandma...this skirt paired with a tankini top from TB does just that! This is my go-to suit for summer. April 4, 2014
Swim suit bottom fit is good,style good..I have this same bottom in a print, love it. So when I received this I was very surprised with the material..the print feels like quality material, the black one is a very thin low quality material. I ordered a black top to match and the shades of black do not match. I know this is minor but the tints do not match. I have ordered many times from Tommy Bahama, keep coming back because of quality..its too bad this swimsuit bottom does not hold up too their standards. March 7, 2014
good looking bottoms I like the style of this skirted bottom with the Pearl Halter Tankini and it fits great. However, when wet, the skirt stretches a bit and gets heavy as does the tie until it dries but it's worth it to have the skirt design. February 26, 2014

Testing-combining multiple images
It has been asked several times here how people combine multiple photos in one post. I assumed it required a special software, so I was searching online to see if I could find a free version. I think I found something even better - a website you can use to combine images (up to 4) and then save to your computer. No worries about downloading anything. This is just a very basic test image; you can fancy it up with background colors and added text on top of the photos. It did take me a while to size everything correctly. The total size of the four images can't be more than 2000 pixels in the largest direction, so I used Paint to resize each photo to 500 pixels largest direction. Then the combined photo was larger than the board's 150 kb, so I used Paint again to resize it to 62% (147 kb).
Here's the link to the site: http://www.quickpicturetools.com/en/combine_images/
Let's see if this loads.
Well that is NICE! Thanks for sharing that helpful tip!
I combine mine on Paint program, but this is easy too! and of course so much better when we are looking at your beautiful property!
Oh, so you can combine on Paint - lol! I didn't know that; I'll have to check that out as well. I thought I didn't have any software that would do it.
Yes! I open a blank, then view 'zoom out' so I can see more 'canvas'... then I 'paste from' and choose photos, I can reduce their size by clicking on 'resize' while the one I uploaded onto Paint..and reduce in half or so...
Then I place next to one another, if it is a horizontal photo, then I place the prints under one another so they don't have to be so small and it won't affect the message box if you have like 4 one under the other with larger sized prints.
After placing the all I choose 'crop' and select the prints with no or very little border, then crop that.. now I have one print... I check the size of the whole set (as one unit) and make sure it is under 150kb so it will post here.
Good to know! Well, that gives everyone two different methods for the next time someone asks
Nitalynn I can do the same on a program we have called Comic life, but what Joyluck had done was just cut and paste her photos. I can not do that on I photo on my Mac.
Have you tried the cut and paste method?
That cut and paste method works with Photobucket! You upload photos to that site that you want posted online, then you choose to share and 'get link' option and it will tell you the http address for the link to the photo. That is what you cut and paste. I have not tried it recently, but I should take the time to try it. There was a time here when this board was so messed up, and I still don't have all the features working for me.

Investigators found headphones at the scene of Friday's fatal pedestrian-train accident near Lee High School.
Madison County Coroner Craig Whisenant said that probably explains why Lee freshman Dylan Jones didn't hear the train's whistle blowing down the tracks.
The conductor said he couldn't stop in time and hit Dylan.
Dylan was buried on Tuesday.
Flags at Lee flew at half-staff, and counselors were available to console students.

A Paulding County couple, charged in a case of child abuse that made national headlines, is in court Friday morning for a preliminary hearing.
A grand jury indicted Paul and Sheila Comer on charges of child cruelty, false imprisonment and kidnapping.
The case came to light when their 18-year-old son, Mitch Comer, got off a bus in Los Angeles, appearing malnourished.
He said the Comers beat, starved him, and kept him locked in a room for years.
The judge did not grant bond for the couple.
The defense wants Paul Comer transferred to Cobb County Jail. In Paulding County jail he is being kept in solitary confinement and the defense said he needs human contact.
Mitch has two sisters that were taken into DFACS custody.
The Paulding County district attorney said his sisters have post traumatic stress disorder because of the abuse by their parents.
CBSAtlanta.com will have more on this case throughout the day.

---- — Alternative-energy opportunities, especially natural gas, are growing, propelled by local, state and federal initiatives. It would be wise for local residents to explore these options, which could reduce household costs.
As part of a New York Energy Highway initiative, Gov. Andrew Cuomo wants the Public Service Commission to expand opportunities for natural-gas service across the state. And President Obama focused on alternative energy in his inaugural address, which bears promise for future funding.
Here in the North Country, wind-energy projects are already established, and natural gas is stretching its way into more communities. Franklin County will soon have natural-gas service as Enbridge St. Lawrence Gas builds a 48-mile pipeline between Norfolk and Chateaugay.
The Town of Plattsburgh has led the way in pressing New York State Electric and Gas to increase natural-gas service to more areas of that community. Natural gas is already hooked up in some businesses and homes in Plattsburgh, and town officials want to see it available to more residences.
The Cumberland Head Taxpayers Association, sometimes at odds with town officials on matters of money, is also on board with the idea of expanding natural gas.
NYSEG is surveying potential customers, and meetings are being held to answer questions about the new option. Residents can find out more at 1 p.m. Wednesday at the new Fire Station on Cumberland Head.
It's important that people who want this option show their support. Town Deputy Supervisor Martin Mannix says that having a strong supply of customers is essential to securing service.
The savings could be substantial. Some Cumberland Head residents tell us they spend $3,000, $3,500, even $4,000 a year on fuel oil for heating. And they enviously listen to residents in Cliff Haven, another section of the town, who say they are paying $60 or $70 a month for natural gas.
Besides being less expensive, natural gas is more environmentally friendly, and an abundant supply is available, thanks to a pipeline that runs along Interstate 87 from the Quebec border to Plattsburgh.
Some people are concerned about startup costs, so the town is working on a public/private partnership, possibly with UFirst Federal Credit Union, that could help with the cost of conversion to natural-gas equipment.
While we don't recommend any particular energy method, we certainly do encourage local homeowners to check into whether natural gas would be an economical option. NYSEG and town officials say that for some users it could be one-third the cost of propane, fuel oil or electricity.
All people have to do is go to the Cumberland Head meeting tomorrow or fill out the 10-question survey, due Thursday, at townofplattsburgh.com or nyseg.com/gastplatts.
It might pay off for them and the environment.

Holiday Mint Mickey Garland
Here's a holiday decoration inspired by a favorite pastime shared by Disney fans everywhere -- discovering hidden Mickeys. Using festive craft papers, you and your child can create peppermint candy gift tags and garlands that have an uncanny resemblance to the world's most sought after mouse.
You'll need:
- Template for Holiday Mint Mickey
- Scissors
- Red cardstock
- Craft paper (red-and-white striped and plain white)
- Glue stick
- Sewing needle
- Red embroidery floss or monofilament
1. Print the template and use it to cut out the shapes from the specified types and colors of paper.
2. Assemble the face mint and the two ear mints by gluing the centers onto the respective striped peppermint pieces.
3. Glue the ear mints in place atop the red paper Mickey head.
4. Next, glue the face mint in place (the top of it should slightly overlap the bottoms of the ear mints).
5. For an individual gift tag, simply thread a shorter length of embroidery floss through the top of a single Mickey mint and tie it into a loop. For a garland, make as many paper Mickey mints as you like and string them together with embroidery floss or monofilament by sewing through the tops, as shown.

Rail Yards Talks: Joel Sternfeld
Rail Yards Talks: Joel Sternfeld
In this public talk, entitled What the High Line Meant and Means To Me, Joel Sternfeld discuss his experience photographing the High Line when it was still overgrown with wildflowers and grasses that set root when the trains stopped running.
In 2000, Friends of the High Line asked Sternfeld to photograph the wild landscape that had grown up on the High Line during its years of disuse. Taken before the historic structure was transformed into a public park, Stenfeld's photography brought the public in contact with this self-seeded landscape for the first time, and helped inspire the movement to save the High Line from demolition.
In this talk and slideshow, Sternfeld will take the audience on a visual tour of the High Line, discussing the significance of each image and how his understanding of the historic structure has changed since it was transformed into a public park. A short Q&A will follow the presentation.
14th Street Passage
On the High Line at 14th Street
This High Line Program is free and open to visitors of all ages. No RSVP required. Seating is available on a first-come, first served basis.
This is the first of three talks about the High Line at the Rail Yards. Photographer Rick Darke will speak on Tuesday, September 27, and Friends of the High Line Co-Founder Robert Hammond will speak on Wednesday, October 5.
Rail Yards Programs are generously supported by The Tiffany & Co. Foundation, the New York Community Trust—LuEsther T. Mertz Advised Fund, the Greenwall Foundation, and, in part, with public funds from the New York State Council on the Arts.

Prior to that, Henry was a senior regional editor at Patch, where he managed 25 sites in Long Island's Suffolk County and in Brooklyn for the formerly AOL-owned local news chain.
Henry has hired and managed dozens of journalists, leading coverage strategies for a diverse slate of local communities. From day-to-day coverage of community, school, business, police and government news to 24/7 coverage of local disasters such as Hurricane Irene, Hurricane Sandy and the Blizzard of 2013, Henry has shaped thousands of articles.
Henry is also an adjunct professor at the Center for News Literacy at Stony Brook University, teaching there for four years about core elements of journalism such as authenticity and verification as well as the finer critical thinking skills that a news consumer can use to judge the reliability of information.
Henry has also spoken on media panels across the region on topics including social media for reporters, business reporting, hiring, pitching the media and online journalism.
Henry earned his bachelor's degree in creative writing at the State University of New York at New Paltz, and he has written a range of unpublished poetry and prose, including two novels. He is working on a chapbook of nature poetry, a series of short fiction pieces inspired by Harvard Sentences and a collection of longer stories. Some of his favorite writers are Henry Miller, Anais Nin, Nikos Kazantzakis, Haruki Murakami, Jack Kerouac, Walt Whitman, Allen Ginsberg and J.D. Salinger.
He is also a saxophonist, pianist and composer, having studied at Manhattan School of Music and The New School before moving to New Paltz. He has played professionally in New York City and in the Ulster/Dutchess and Orange County areas. His favorite musicians/composers are John Coltrane, Ornette Coleman, John Zorn, Dmitri Shostakovitch, Erik Satie, Charles Mingus and Bill Evans.
I use poetry to explore language, metaphor and abstract comparisons but don't write poems nearly enough. I am working on a chapbook of nature poetry, but have a long way to go with it.
These stories represent my work ranging from flash fiction to short stories. It includes a collection of pieces inspired by Harvard Sentences, and two drafts of short novels I may revise one day.
