Thousands of pounds worth of lead stolen from the Halfway House in Box
1:20pm Friday 27th July 2012 in News By Hayley Mortimer, Reporter
THOUSANDS of pounds worth of lead has been stolen from the Halfway House in Box in broad daylight.
The incident happened between 10am and 3pm yesterday, Thursday, July 26.
All the lead has been stripped from the building, including huge sheets from the roof.
Damage has also been caused to the front of the pub, which is owned by Novalis Trust.
Natural stone tiles were also stolen from the nearby bus shelter and electric substation.
Jake Lukas, chief executive of Novalis Trust, said: "The pub is not completely closed and derelict. It is still used by staff and children from Cotswold Chine School.
"My worry is that people think it is easy pickings. It is very upsetting.
"We are asking the local community to be careful and remain vigilant."
Anyone with information should contact Gloucestershire Police on 101, quoting incident number 140 of July 26.

On Monday, Sept. 16, the annual Anderson Country Club Fall Classic Golf Tournament took place. A big "thank you!" goes out to Hoosier Park Racing & Casino for being the title sponsor of this event.
Thanks to Texas Roadhouse for organizing the tournament and for recruiting participants and sponsors. More than $11,000 was netted for Second Harvest Food Bank of East Central Indiana. The tournament attracted 23 teams as well as many golf professionals. Pro golfers from around the state participated in a match prize pot with $2,000 going to the winning team. Scores were incredibly low with no Mulligans, no strings or rulers, just good golf.
Brian Hill's team won with a 52. It was reported that the day was enjoyed by all and ended with the MetLife blimp flying over the course during the playoff between six teams competing for third place. Alex Stinson's team won the playoff by making an eagle - 3 on No. 1.
Tim Kean, president

International exchanges expand students' horizons
Before coming to Queen's commerce, Dan McCann had not given much thought to participating in an international exchange. After hearing upper-year commerce students rave about their experience studying abroad, though, he became enthusiastic about the opportunity.
Like many Queen's students, Mr. McCann preaches the benefits of international exchanges.
"After studying for five months at the University of Antwerp in Belgium, I emailed the Commerce program and thanked them for encouraging third-year students to study abroad. My time at Queen's would not have been the same without my phenomenal exchange experience and new international perspective," he says.
International exchanges expose students to a variety of different cultures. Not only do the students experience their host country, they also learn about many different areas of the world from the other exchange students.
Sonia Gangal recently studied at the École Supérieure des Sciences Économiques et Commerciales in Paris for three months. During that time, she worked collaboratively with students from Austria, Russia, Costa Rica, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan.
"The exchange was beneficial because the business world is increasingly international and multicultural," says Ms Gangal, a Master of Business Administration student.
Students usually enhance their exchange by travelling during their free time. Mr. McCann learned as much, if not more, outside the classroom while visiting several European countries.
"What made the experience exciting and memorable was talking with people in different countries that I visited," he says. "I was able to get a feeling for the local culture through conversations with people in restaurants and cafes."
Students must often adjust to a new culture of learning as well. Jocelyn Stairs, who studied at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland last year, found that she was required to demonstrate general knowledge about the course material through essays. Ms Stairs, a fourth-year life sciences student, was accustomed to multiple choice tests at Queen's.
The students say exchanges push them out of their comfort zones and, in the end, help them grow both academically and personally.
"I proved that I could stand on my own two feet and expand my education horizons," Ms Stairs says.
Studying in Belgium has caused Mr. McCann to rethink what he will do after he completes his commerce degree. He is much more open to working overseas, and he is even considering graduate studies in the Queen's Master of Global Management program.
Several faculties and departments at Queen's offer exchange opportunities. For more information, visit the Queen's international website.

vacation rental description
Forget your alarm clock; awaken to the sounds of conga/howler monkeys and tropical birds in this Caribbean style home just 300 meters from Cocles Beach for surfing, swimming and sun bathing.
Made of Costa Rican hardwoods and ceramic tiles, this nearly 2000 square feet, 2 BR/2&1/2 Baths home has an open floor plan downstairs, where the hummingbirds like to visit, and a wrap around balcony upstairs with 2 spacious bedrooms. The home is surrounded by forests and beautiful fruit trees affording a lot of privacy (with luck you might see toucans eating the papaya); and yet you will not be isolated as there are neighbors close by. The next door neighbor has a guide and taxi service. And another neighbor, Johanna, (just a 2 minute walk away) has a very nice family run restaurant (called a soda in Costa Rica). You must try her Caribbean style corvina (sea bass). A car is not necessary as you will be only minutes walking or biking for anything you may want to see: beautiful beaches, jaguar refuge, horseback riding, restaurants, night life, grocery stores, internet cafe, etc. As an option, 4 banana bikes are at the home available for your use for an extra fee of $3day/bike, with 2 boogie/body boards included for playing in the ocean. The banana bikes are a popular way to see the sights (if you need more,others are available in town for $4-6/day/bike).
The home is located in Miss Winnie Town, a small community within the city of Cocles, less than 2 miles south of Puerto Viejo. The neighborhood is named in honor of Winnie who is the mother of the property manager, Oscar. They will take good care of you during your holiday. In the neighborhood there are vacation and permanent Tico homes(Tico is a friendly nickname for a Costa Rican). Here you will enjoy a lot of privacy and at the same time you will have friends and neighbors close to you. Thanks for your interest in this wonderful home we call Casa del Caribe in Costa Rica's most beautiful and most unspoiled tropical paradise!

How Much Will You Need? In Some Cases Less than You Think
Saving for Retirement
How Much Will You Need? In Some Cases Less than You Think
A key component in retirement planning is determining how much money you'll need. (After all, how can you determine how much to save unless you know how much you'll need when you're retired?) While you may not realize it, some of your expenses will actually go down or be eliminated. Hopefully your mortgage will be paid off at some point; if not, you may decide to move into a smaller, less expensive home since your children will no longer be living with you. Other expenses may no longer be necessary as well: Child care, life insurance, retirement savings, and even car expenses. As you plan for what you'll need, make sure you take into account what you will no longer need as your lifestyle changes.

Posted on 2010-08-17 06:51:38 byzebber:
Total Annihilation is a game that bucked a lot of trends in the RTS genre, and came away far far better for doing it. Let's break it down:
The soundtrack is an excellent place to start, as it will be among the first parts of the game you experience. Simply put, this is some of Jeremy Soule's finest work. Search around for the game's intro on the streaming video site of yourread more choice, and enjoy. Even better, the soundtrack is used dynamically in-game, switching to more energetic tracks when battles swing into high gear and mellowing when things are calm.
But how about gameplay mechanics? This is among the first games that found the older "resources and the peons/workers/units that harvest them" mechanic tiresome. You do not build drones or engineers and sic them on a pile of slowly decreasing resources. Instead, you set up structures that gather or produce resources at certain rates. The idea is that the structure will not run out of the resource, it just collects it at a certain speed. For people who have only ever sent harvesters out to collect, this might seem dangerously unbalanced, but I assure you it isn't. You might have infinite resources to collect, but you're gathering them at a slow, automatic rate. There's also a number of ways to gather resources. For energy, you can build solar collectors, or if water is available, tidal generators, or fusion plants can be built. For metal, there are different sized mining structures, and an interesting set of buildings that make metal from extremely large amounts of energy. And of course you can scavenge both from the battlefield, if things are especially tight.
For unit behaviors, you have several options readily available in the hud, dictating how aggressive or indifferent to enemies they are, allowing you to avoid the issue of a patrol that foolishly chases an enemy all the way back to their base. Also, when units fire and attack, they use different arcs and trajectories for their shots. Some units fire in high arcs, able to go over hills and obstacles, while others fire in straight lines. Nearly every unit can miss when it fires, as well, which adds a welcome bit of realism. In addition, there's often a real sense of scope to unit ranges. This isn't a game that has artillery that fires a third of the way across your screen; you'll be firing that stuff across the map.
There are a number of different maps available: worlds made entirely of metal, or fully submerged water worlds. Island maps or dense jungles. Fights among toxic explosive plants. All different maps, and many requiring a fully different set of tactics and units.
Bringing me to perhaps the biggest positive, the units themselves. Speaking plainly, there's a crap load. The Core Contingency expansion adds even more. Fully fleshed out navies (not just one or two ship types), a host of infantry mechs and vehicles, radar jammers, amphibious units ("are those tanks coming out of the water?!), aircraft, hovercraft, and a collection of advanced structures that really add flavor. And the developers, in a very unique idea that I have yet to see replicated in modern games, made it relatively easy to add custom units made by users freely to the game. While some games were allowing the creation of maps, this game did that and more. Users can create their own models and behaviors for units and add them into the game. Search around, and you will find enormous quantities of units and packs of units if you're a fan of customizing your game.
To be fair, if the game had a weak spot, it would be story. The story is fairly simple, and acts mostly as an excuse to blow things to bits. You won't be seeing a cutscene every mission. Briefings are simply delivered, with a small bit of flavor text, an objective, a little narration, and then you go. There are no hero units (other than your nameless Commander unit) to rally around. I usually miss heavy story elements in games, but this game delivers heavily enough on the gameplay side of things you'll be hard-pressed to notice.
In the end, this is a great example of what the RTS genre needed, rather than pumping out clones of other games with slightly different skins.

I spend ages playing this when it came out - it may lack the cut-scenes and plot from its C&C and Starcraft contemporaries, but it more than made up for it in innovative features - queuing commands, radar warfare with scanners and jammers, workable defences including artillery worthy of the name, the wonderfully animated hordes of unit types done in full 3d....
Andread more it still scales brilliantly on modern computers - more units, bigger maps, more annihilation!

My first experience with RTS games was with Warcraft 2. Soon after that, I found Command and Conquer. Both were great games that I played for countless hours each. I blindly purchased Total Annihilation on a whim after checking out its box shortly after it was released. It was released at the same time as Age of Empires, another RTS I enjoyed. Suffice it to say,Total Annhilationread more blew them all away and is still somehow more enjoyable to play than modern RTS games.
First of all, let me outline some of the elements within Total Annihilation that set it apart from other games when it was released and then discuss why it is still the best of its kind today.
Total Annihilation was the first game of its type to successfully utilize 3D environments. The terrain is filled with destructable objects such as trees that you can use to gather energy from or just let become part of the devastation of battle. The environment plays a big role in Total Annihilation. Gaining the high ground in a skirmish game and building a powerful defensive weapon can completely make the difference. The 3D world affects how missiles are projected and the graphics hold up, even by today's standards.
The scale of Total Annihilation is huge. The battles are constant, massive, and utterly epic. Every battle will leave behind scars in the form of a graveyard of wreckage, which can in turn be harvested to gather metal resources or destroyed by the next battle wave. The variety of weapons is also astounding. Even in the original, stand-alone game there was a plethora of options. I was always fond of the Cans and/or Lugers on land, and Brawlers in the air. My favorite defensive weapon is the Annihilator, which, as I mentioned before, is incredibly effective when placed upon a large hill with some defenders to protect it from air attacks.
Some of the maps are incredibly huge, especially considering the time it was released. You basically have the flexibility to create as epic of a matchup as you want. Amazingly, being able to select as many units as you wanted to wasn't a standard element of RTS games at this time, Warcraft and Starcraft being major culprits of this. Total Annihilation finally spared us of that ridiculous little roadblock, allowing you to select as many units as you could see. This is another little element that helps you realize the massive scale of the game.
Despite it's size and scale, Total Annihilation somehow manages to stay personal. Every unit under your control keeps a tally of how many kills it has. If it single-handedly gets over five, it gains veteran status. This small and seemingly irrelevant feature makes the game just a little more personal and it was something just not seen in RTS games at this time. You'll care for your veterans and probably want to see just how far their skills can be taken by keeping them alive longer than the average cannon fodder.
The resource system was quite different than most games at the time and gives the game a uniqueness unmatched until the release of Supreme Commander. In Total Annihilation, there are only two resources, metal and energy. Rather than gathering them and building up a stockhold to use later, you are expected to balance the constant amount you are using with the amount you are gathering (for example, you'd want to be gathering more metal, +20, than the amount you are currently using, -15). You can build storage buildings to store a greater amount and provide greater flexibility or padding for times of need, but it's not necessary for building a strong army and defense. However, if you don't keep a balance, you can run in to some serious problems. Running out of energy will severely inhibit your ability to build things, especially since your metal extractors require energy to work. More commonly, you'll run into issues of running out of metal, which is gathered at a slower rate. Keeping a balance between resources is absolutely key to winning the game, especially if you're playing another human opponent (who likely won't make the same mistake as you and won't hesitate to punish you).
Total Annihilation is very customizable and still has a huge, active community. If, despite my insistence that the graphics hold up well today, you're unconvinced and think it needs an upgrade, you can download graphical enhancements that will allow you to zoom in and out and change views while providing higher resolution and texturing. There is also an incredible amount of maps and new units that can be downloaded or created (for the adventurous type). I would also be willing to bet that you'll always be able to find a multiplayer counterpart, though I mostly stick to playing over LAN with friends. Large and active communities, especially for older games, are always a testament to a game that has transcended time.
For all the great things that Total Annihilation offers, I have two things to warn people about. One, I would recommend starting with vanilla Total Annihilation. There is so much content added with the expansions and especially with the downloadable units that you may be overwhelmed. As a seasoned Total Annihilation player, I was completely out of my league playing with a downloadable unit pack simply because I didn't know what units were effective and what buildings did what. Second, Total Annihilation is not about building a society (no Sim City elements). In other games, such as Age of Empires and games similar to it, your "civilization" really just serves as a way to advance, gather resources, and build a stronger army, making it not much different than Total Annihilation. However, those games do like to put an emphasis on building up a society even if it's nothing more than a red herring. In Total Annihilation, the focus is simply smiting your enemies with as much force as possible.
All of my friends that played Total Annihilation ten years ago still prefer to play it than firing up a game of its unofficial sequel Supreme Commander, which feels somehow less personal to them. Though it's hard to explain this phenomena completely, I tend to blame this on the tactical zooming feature - something is lost when you're not in the firefights up close and personal. Being a seasoned RTS fan having played everything from the Warcrafts, Rise of Nations, Starcrafts, Age of Empires, Command and Conquers, Supreme Commanders, Company of Heroes, and Empire Earths of the genre, I must say that Total Annilation stands head and shoulders above the rest.

The current financial crisis and various reactions to it across the globe can provide useful ways to see how progressive and radical messages have been taken up by the wider public and in what ways the message needs to improve.
As Cockburn and St Clair write at Counterpunch.org, people's anger and insecurity due to the economy "..escaped the notice of the well-paid campaign consultants running the McCain campaign – that

While political and economic leaders are responsible for the decisions and policies that has lead to this current turmoil, the scapegoating of those in power or seeking election highlights where our arguments have not taken hold.
The wider population have a general idea that the system is flawed, that it favours a few, that it's corrupt etc. While the current rhetoric and popular outcry during the crisis has supported this with calls to end the greed, to regulate and so forth, where and to whom this rhetoric is directed shows where our message has failed.
Popular frustration and anger continues to manifest itself via party politics. Via the two party political systems that most free market economies have. Hence what swept Obama to power in the
So while people can identify that greed and uncontrolled corporate action are causing their suffering and damaging the social and ecological environment, the methods of expression (and hoped for solution) continue to restrict and deny fundamental change.
Dissent is funnelled into the confines and workings of the system, open to manipulation for political gain. This can then feed a cycle where disappointment and hope are preyed upon by dominant political parties at each successive turn of the electoral merry-go-round.
All this points to how can we refine our message- that not only is the current economic system fundamentally flawed and deserving of critique, but to truly change it you must move beyond just relying on politicians and parties.
We seem to need to catch up to the wider population and provide means that start breaking the circuit of current representative politics and its appearance as the only venue for change. To work with them to develop means to effectively voice their concerns. We need to discuss and develop means to break out of the tunnel vision created by two-party politics and end our perceived dependency on it in addressing our real needs.
Please comment and leave suggestions as to ideas, existing efforts etc so we can start a discussion on some of these ideas

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- NASCAR will have a new champion this year as the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship will go on without Brad Keselowski.
The reigning champion failed to make the 12-driver Chase on Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway, where an ill-timed caution contributed to his 17th-place finish.
The race was won by Carl Edwards, who darted past Paul Menard on a restart with three laps remaining. Kurt Busch finished second to make Furniture Row Racing the first single-car organization to make the Chase.
Ryan Newman was third, but it wasn't enough to make the Chase. He had it in hand after passing Edwards for the lead with 10 laps to go. Then Clint Bowyer spun to bring out a caution, most of the field pitted, and Newman came off pit road in fifth for the last restart.
Kasey Kahne and Martin Truex claimed the two wild-card berths.

DALTON, GA (Times Free Press) -- The carpet industry is growing again, and the increased demand for the chemicals that supply the Carpet Capital's tufting mills has drawn new investment to Georgia.Wacker Polymers, a subsidiary of Germany-based Wacker Chemie AG, on Tuesday unveiled its research and technical training facility here. The German chemical giant is hustling to supply enough binding products and technical expertise to satisfy local carpet manufacturers, and sees its new facility as a way to reach out to customers."If you're going to be in the carpet business in Dalton, you have to be in Dalton," said John McClurken, technical manager at Wacker's new facility.While Wacker won't be manufacturing its binding agents in Dalton in the near term, the company will run its research, service and training operations there. Wacker Polymers did not disclose the size of its newest investment in the state of Georgia, though it is a tiny fraction of the $2 billion another division of Wacker is making to build a polysilicon production plant near Charleston, TN..Read more from our news partners at the Chattanooga Times Free Press.

This is a decent red ale, that really reminds me of Killian's. It isn't too different.
Three finger off white head, moderate carbonation. Light brown to red body.
Smells of malt, and biscuit..
Tastes: biscuity, bready, malty, with a crispy finish
Mouthfeel: Ok, but not great.
Overall, this is a decent beer. Try it to have something different at Granite City, but I don't think you will be wowed. But, then again this thing called taste is subjective.
I have had it once, I don't think I'll seek it out again.

At Roseville location.
Large mug with a finger of frothy beige head. Color is a clear copper amber.
Aroma: earthy grassy hops and bready, biscuity malts. Very basic.
Taste: clean grassy hops. Caramel malts with a touch of toffee. Lots of biscuity malts.
Mouthfeel: smooth and crisp. Light bodied with a good amount of carbonation. Ends a little dry.
Overall, this was pretty easy to drink on a nice spring day. Nothing crazy, but it drank pretty easy.

Had on tap at Granite City. Review from phone notes.
A- Pours a pretty clear amber light copper color. Bartender said there might be some floaties in this beer but I saw none. Poured with a very little of white head...no real lacing to speak of. Just some gobs that fall back into the beer.
S- Like almost all their beers at Granite City the aroma is very muted. There was a light roasted almost semi-sweet caramel malt to this. Also, maybe some light nutty aroma but if this is true then maybe I was going out on a limb to smell this.
T- Caramel malts in this right from the get go. Some light roasted flavors right after the first sip but these wash away almost as soon as you can taste them. Very light hopping (bitter) in the background that seems to be almost non existent.
M- Light mouthfeel. Carbonation is good for the style. Nothing really going on in the mouthfeel....most past everything feels watery. Light malts left on the palate and some more light malts left in the aftertaste. Flavors were bland and blended together.
D- This was yet another bland flavored beer from a company who seems to pride themselves more in their food than their beer. Bartender told me this tasted like Killians and to be honest I think Killians has more flavor.

Served an in an Imperial Pint, the beer is a good looking red with bronze highlights and a thick and creamy beige head. It has nice lacing.
The beer's aroma is a bit underpowered, maybe because it is served too cold. There is a bit of caramel, some fruit and grains.
The taste is slightly sweet with some very lightly roasted grains, a bit of honey and some spice notes on the finish.
The mouth is a nice mix of slight thickness and active scouring bubbles.
This is a serviceable Irish Red that would be awesome if it could live up to its looks.

Look: appealing red amber.color, transparent, with a substantial head on its shoulders that recedes moderately and laces the glass gently as it descends.
Nose: lightly scented caramel malts.
Taste: caramel malts are subtle notes, to be sure, but yet quite nice, very pleasing.
Mouth: full-bodied feel.
Drink: Easily drinkable. Have one for St. Pat's

3.68/5 rDev +18.3%
Good looking beer that was poured with a small head and served too cold. Half-inch tannish head that settled slowly into a smear. Amber of reddish-orange and clear.
Aroma was mild especially as it was cold. A generic malt quality eventually moved into a toffee tone.
Malt character at first, but as it warmed moved towards hop character in flavor and increasing bitterness (as I was told by server), but never in excess, just more than typical and more than expected. As warmed malt increased too with increasing toffee/caramel flavors that reminded me more of a scotch ale than Irish red.
Nicely carbonated in an soft, smooth yet somewhat intense manner providing a nice sense of body to a moderately built beer.
Overall more than reasonably drinkable and satisfying.

2.13/5 rDev -31.5%
This isn't that "red" really. Its more a dark amber and has no head or nose. The taste is sweet, maybe lightly roasted malt which quickly goes metallic before deepening to more of a caramel with a drying, lightly bitter hop finish. I'm picking up on some very small off-flavors but I can't quite pull them out. Mouthfeel is mid-wieght but syrupy with sparse but stinging carbonation. It'll help you wash your food down, and its reasonably priced, but with so may Irish Red beers to choose from this one only stands out in negative ways, and is definately not worth seeking out.

2.88/5 rDev -7.4%
Heavily orange-influenced caramel brown with brilliant tangerine borders. There may have been the slightest reddish blush, but then the flames consuming the barn are more likely to be orange than red anyway. Unless the barn itself is red, then... where the hell was I? The ecru head was one finger to start, fell over several minutes to a barely covering film and left wavy rings of lace with each sip.
There wasn't much of note going on with the nose. It was low on power, as expected, and smelled of slightly sweet, well-toasted malt. Maybe a little nonspecific fruit as well. Not the sort of nose that makes one excited to take a drink.
Any notions of sweetness were quickly jettisoned when the beer came in contact with my taste buds. It was low on malt (as almost all beer from this brewpub is) and lacked any sort of dextrinousness or sweetness at all. The flavor was of steely toasted caramel and metal flake orange. Odd that a tap beer should taste that way, but it did.
It lost a little of that 'sat too long in a stainless steel drum' flavor as I got deeper into the pint and actually acquired some halfway decent flavors of brown bread sprinkled with cocoa powder. It didn't occur to me until I was leaving, but BBIR tasted quite a bit like (my memory of) the Oktoberfest that I had at this place last fall. The finish was short and bitter.
The mouthfeel was as unimpressive as all the rest, maybe more so. The malt-deficient nature of the beer resulted in an unwelcoming thinness. It wasn't as harshly bubbled as experience led me to expect, but words like smooth and creamy never even entered my mind. Let the parade of mediocrity continue.
Burning Barn Irish Red is a pretty good name for a St. Patrick's Day beer. Unfortunately, whoever designs the recipes for Granite City beer, and whoever brews them, continue to sleep through the five-alarm fire that is laying waste to their brewpub's reputation. I find it ironic that too much water (at the expense of actual ingredients) keeps this Burning Barn from smoldering, much less catching fire.

Winter may still be several months away, but earlier this week government forecasters released their national outlook for the upcoming winter. So what can you expect here in Chicago? Will it be sandals and swimsuits like last year or a return to the salt and snow shovels of past years?
Winter in Chicago is always packed with excitement and uncertainty. Prior to last winter, Chicago smashed records with four consecutive winters having more than 50" of snow. And last winter was supposed to be #5 and the worst one of all--it was even named Snowmageddon-- but instead, we had a very mild winter; surprising everyone including Jim Allsopp of the National Weather Service.
"I grew up here and have been forecasting here for a long time, I've never seen anything as unusual as the weather we had last March," Allsopp says. "One of the warmest winters on record, one of the least snowy winters on record, so yeah certainly that was not expected, but I think alot of people did enjoy it."
The question is, can we do it again?
"Well anything's possible, but on average March tends to be one of our snow - so I certainly wouldn't expect that kind of weather again," says Allsopp.
The main reason is there is no clear El Nino or La Nina weather patterns, which have a direct influence on our weather here. This will be the first near neutral winter since 2006.
"We looked back at these neutral events in the past in the Chicago area and many more of them have been close to what we call climatologically normal meaning not really far above or far below what's normal around here in terms of temperatures and snowfall," says NWS Meteorologist Ricky Castro.
To refresh your memory, our normal winter averages close to 27 degrees with 37" of snow.
"The other thing we're going to be looking for that actually has an impact on our weather is if the higher latitudes to our north, the source region of our cold air mass to build a good snow pack whereas last year there was very little snow up there," Castro explains.
There are also two winter wildcards: the Artic Oscillation and the North Atlantic Oscillation. These are fancy terms for the strengthening or weakening of key areas of high and low pressure in the Arctic Circle and Atlantic Ocean which are the keepers of cold air and the transport system for winter storms. Last winter was rare because both Oscillations were positive keeping snow and cold away. This year, we are expecting both to change more frequently, although we can't predict these changes more than two weeks in advance.
The bottom line is, the forecast will be adjusted throughout the winter and barring any unusual patterns our upcoming winter will have normal to slightly above normal temperatures and slightly drier conditions with near normal snowfall.
As for a white Christmas, the NWS promises that "we'll have a white Christmas somewhere."

Jimmy Graham is inactive for Sunday's game between the New Orleans Saints and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers due to an ankle injury suffered in Week 5 against the San Diego Chargers. Graham was held out of practice Wednesday, and limited Thursday and Friday before being ruled out.
Graham was initially listed as questionable on Friday's injury report, but was later downgraded to out. It seems clear at this point that he is dealing with more than a minor sprain.
Fantasy Impact: Fantasy owners would have been wise to pay close attention to injury reports throughout the week and prepare for Graham's absence. Daniel Thomas will start at tight end for the Saints, and could be a solid gameday pickup off waivers with Drew Brees targeting him.
Be sure to revisit Graham's status next week. There is no guarantee he will play against the Denver Broncos. If he is given clearance, Graham should move directly back into starting lineups in every format. On the year, he has 25 receptions 252 yards and three touchdowns in essentially just four full games played.

The Two Rivers Bridge is a pedestrian bridge that marks the western part of the Arkansas River Trail Loop. The bridge doesn't connect two rivers, as the name suggests, but it does cross over to a peninsula (Two Rivers Park) that separates the Arkansas and the Little Maumelle Rivers. It was decide to build the bridge to keep the bicycle trail along the rivers' edge.
Curtis Stout, Inc. won the bid for the original lighting package. After the original bid, Curtis Stout was invited to work with Garver Engineering to come up with a color changing LED solution to create a nighttime show piece. Curtis Stout turned to Gene Gephardt, a theatrical lighting designer on staff, to work with Garver Engineering in choosing the fixtures and controls and laying out the system. The project started with one lighting manufacturer, but was switched after a shootout took place and the winner was LumenPulse. The Show controller chosen was the Pharos because of its broad capabilities. Curtis Stout had submitted it on the Big Dam Bridge as well, so the owner was happy as well as familiar with the software program. The site lighting was also changed to Cree Beta LED light fixtures. The original design had 5 LumenPulse LumenBeam lights with a custom mounting bracket around the top of the piers shooting down, but the Coast Guard weighed in and wouldn't allow the fixtures on the piers. It was relayed that the reflection off of the water could blind the boaters. The cove lights were bright enough to create the reflection off of the water that was desired. The LumenPulse LumenCove lights were chosen for the underskirting and placed out near the edge to take advantage of the 1200 spread to light up the 3' high spans. The LumenPulse LumenFacade fixture was chosen to graze the 15' high trusses.
Because of the size of the parapet walls, conduit size was limited for data cable. We suggested a wireless solution, but the owner wanted to stay with a hard wired system. We reduced the DMX universes to three and mirrored the DMX address for both sides going across. We treated each fixture as a three color unit. This allowed us enough room. After the project was up and running, we added two Opto-Splitters to help boost the DMX signals. In the end we achieved the owner's objective plus we created a nighttime Show Piece at the Western Corridor into Little Rock. Since the bridges' completion, the bridge has won an Engineering Excellence Award in Structural Systems, and a People's Choice Award. It has become one of the busiest pedestrian bridges in America.

Bone weakness is occurring in epidemic proportions around the world. Health and exercise professionals regularly see people with low bone mass in their clinics and classes. It's important to recognize at-risk individuals because the condition is generally silent, until a symptomatic fracture occurs.
Safe management of this condition is imperative to prevent fractures and increase overall well-being. When a person sustains an osteoporotic-related fracture, quality of life can change instantly and dramatically, and the mortality rate and costs are very high.
In this workshop, you learn how to
- Identify at-risk populations
- Teach and prescribe movement according to a person's condition, as well as their diagnosis
- Make appropriate referrals.
This program will forever change your outlook on teaching movement with therapeutic intent and a focus on safety.

Family told police she was with a friend at Bleacher's Pub in Mishawaka the night before.
Police say friends drove her to her home in the 200 block of Ardennes, but they weren't there long.
Chief Mike Samp pf the Mishawaka Police says, "After she was home on Ardennes for a little bit, they decided they were gonna go back north to this other friend's house on Travers and as they're walking along, this friend tells officers that all of a sudden, she turned around and she wasn't there anymore."
An autopsy is pending.
Police say they have interviewed at least 10 people... including the victim's boyfriend Alejandro Huerda. He had been living with Stout for about six months.
If you have any information, you are asked to call Cass County Central dispatch at 269-445-1560.
Meanwhile, neighbors of Stout's on Ardennes Avenue say they were shocked when they heard the news.
Stout's next door neighbors, Catherine and Norris Bruce, say she was like a daughter to them.
She planted their flowers, mowed their grass and took them shopping when they needed it.
They think people took advantage of her kindness.
Catherine Bruce, Stout's neighbor says, "She was a wonderful person. She loved her son. She loved her home. She got herself straightened up. She was going back to school. She started school. She was good to my husband and I. She used to do all kinds of things for us."
They also say none of this adds up and they hope police get to the bottom of it soon.

Wasn't prepared to enjoy this brew as much as I did!
A - Lovely copper, half an inch of creamy off-white head that peters out. Medium lacing.
S - Not much to comment on the smell , but wait for it...
T - Damn, son. Really tasty. On cask, this ale was mellow and delicious. Bready, toffee notes that lingers nicely on the palate. A refreshing brew that contrasts nicely with the palate crushers.
M - Buttery and thick. Complements the character nicely.
O - A great session ale. I could drink this all day.

Enjoyed at the brewey. Half finger head with good retention and lacing on clear copper with gold hues body. Herbal and wet dock hop aroma with breads biscuit and cracker notes. Flavor is also breads and cracker with light toffee character and more herbal and earthy hops. Nice degree of maltiness. Medium body an moderate to high carbonation. Nicely bittered and malted ESB. Very refreshing aactually.

Poured out of the cask into a nonic pint glass.
What can I say, pure perfection. Just the perfect clear amber body with golden hues on the edges. Head is creamy soft and one and a half thick with whipped up bubbles that will not quit. Stupidly creamy looking and lots of edged scattered lacing on the glass while drinking. The beer almost looks like it was poured on nitro. Truly exceptional.
Nose is fresh baked brown bread with warm soft malts, but there is a slightest tinge of alcohol which is kind of surprising.
Taste is creamy heaven. Malt creamed to death, with a silky texture and sugar soft brown bread. Sweetness comes after several sips, with spread light honey on bread.
In fact it is like drinking liquid bread overall. Flat out fantastic.

Had on tap today at the brewpub.
a - Pours a somewhat amber color with one inch of white head and high carbonation evident.
s - Smells of bready malts, caramel malts, and biscuit.
t - Tastes of bread, slightly bitter hops, and caramel malts.
m - Light body and moderate carbonation.
d - A very solid ESB. Definitely felt like I could drink a few of these, and would order it again.

Pours a golden copper wihot much of any head or lacing. Nose bri.vs a y bit of caramel and hops, but is really faint. Taste bring s forward some good earthy, herbal bitterness and some caramel. Feel is medium with good carbonation. Drinks quite well, but the lack of nose is a bit disconcerting.

E.S.B., 5.0% abv, on tap at Mad Fox brewpub, Falls Church, VA. Enjoyed on 09/05/10.
Appearance: A slightly hazy peach-hued body, with fine and slow but plentiful carbonation flowing gently skyward to the remains of a one finger taupe head, now a thin and consistent sheen. The lacing is really nice on this one, like freshly fallen snow when its unbeliebavly cold outside - bright, crisp looking, forming odd angles and patterns because its too cold for it to drip or fall in to a position where gravity could make sense of it.
Aroma: Caramel and biscuity notes mingle with fruity, grassy hops. Faint, perhaps because it was served too cold (which I'll hold against a brewpub more than a beer I review at a bar, say).
Taste: The hallmark of ESBs - balance - is in strong form here. Maltiness is strong, with hints of caramel and crystalline roast, along with sweeter biscuity notes. Faint brown sugar and toffee underlie the base. A mild bitterness, some grassy, leafy hop notes, and some hints of citrus provide that quintessential English balance.
Mouthfeel: A little uneven, with a moderate body - even for the style - and a lot of carbonation making for a fluffy and prickly mouth. Perhaps a little too much here.
Drinkability: Low in abv%, drinkable, and on the balanced side, I enjoyed this beer. Though it's not the best of the lineup I had that evening, it was well-made, stylistically accurate, and didn't have any glaring defects of which to speak.
