During the cruise for over half the time in all 4 cabins we experienced no hot water, one cabin only had hot water for 1 day. In 3 cabins we had no functional air conditioning for the entire trip and in the 4th cabin the air conditioning did not work 5 out of 14 days. It was summer in New Zealand and quite warm. We complained, but nothing was ever repaired. The cabins also were extremely dirty. The carpet was soiled to the point that you would not walk in bare feet and the upholstery was equally dirty.
I wrote Holland America regarding my experience and requested a refund of 30-40% stating that they advertise a "premium cruise experience for discerning cruisers" and that was not what we received. We received 2 star accommodations.
Holland America's response was to give each passenger an individual $250 credit toward a future cruise on Holland America. This in no way said we are sorry for your inconvenience, anyone can get a $250 credit toward a future cruise just for asking.
I travel extensively and understand occasional mechanical failures and not everything is perfect all the time. I have never asked for a refund in my 35 years of travel, but this was blatantly selling a product and a condition of ship that did not exist. The ship Volendam should either have been taken out of service for upgrading or had a reduced price and a disclaimer that the ship was not a premium class vessel.
Holland America obviously does not care about the customer or the experience they deliver.

The Countdown Begins: Artists arrive for thrilling season ahead
The opening night of the 62nd Wexford Festival Opera may be a three weeks away, but the festival is already in full swing.
Since the end of September, nearly every room in Wexford Opera House is being used for cast and chorus rehearsals, costume fittings, and putting the finishing touches on sets. The team of artists is truly international, and includes singers, designers and musicians from Ireland, America, Portugal, Australia, Spain, Japan and Venezuela to name but a few nationalities.
Since the release of the brochure last May, there have been some updates to the cast and creative teams. Carlos Izcaray will now conduct the Jules Massenet double bill of Thérèse/La Navarraise, while Australian soprano Helena Dix will sing the title role in Cristina, regina di Svezia. Limerick baritone Owen Gilhooly has also since been cast as Emilio in Nino Rota's Il Cappello di Paglia di Firenze.
Up-and-coming Irish directors Conor Hanratty and Sophie Motley, who are directing two of the four ShortWorks, Richard Wargo's Losers and The Sleeping Queen by Michael William Balfe respectively, will also serve as assistant directors on two of the three evening operas. Conor is assistant director on Cristina, regina di Svezia, while Sophie is assisting on Thérèse/La Navarraise.

oured into a standard pint glass a rich copper with a well defined 1/2 finger white head atop,sweet caramel/biscuit malt with leafy "green" hops in the nose,a real big sweetish malt aroma to this APA.Leafy and citric hops show thru overtop of a hefty sweet caramel base,again its quite sweet for the style but there is a nice shot of hops to somewhat balance it out.Not bad but I would like a little less sweetness in the style,still a decent beer.

22 oz bottle. Pours copper red with a frothy white head that retains well and laces the glass.
The aroma is subdued - caramel malts, some melon and tropical fruits and spices and a hint of pine.
The flavor is caramel malts and tropical fruit with a decent grassy bitterness. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with sharp carbonation.
Overall, it has good bitterness for a pale ale, but would be a pretty mediocre IPA.

The beer pours a very dark orange color with a white head. One of the darkest pale ales I have seen. The aroma is fairly heavy on the orange citrus notes with some biscuit malt and some caramel malt. The flavor is orange citrus, bread and toffee. The beer is very well balanced and the bitterness is fairly low. Still, there is a ton of hop flavor. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. Another very nice canned beer from Colorado.

12oz can poured into a 12oz tumbler.
Pours a very deep pale amber with ruby hints and a nice little creamy thick head. Nose is sweet and malty with a tiny bit of hops in the background-very well balanced here.
Mouthfeel is a bit light, full and creamy from the carbonation. Finish is malty and crisp. Taste has a nice combination of light hop bitterness and earthy rich maltiness. It's very well balanced although just a bit watery. An awesome canned beer!

A 355ml can with a BB of Jan 2014. Picked up recently from Trembling Madness in York. A pale ale for winter....
Poured into a straight pint glass. A clear brownish-amber hue with low carbonation. Yields a large head of creamy white foam that lasts for a few minutes before subsiding to a surface layer. Nice lacing. Aroma of pine, subtle weed, peel, grass/hay, sweet caramel malt and earthy yeast. Hoppy and nicely balanced.
Tastes of intense aromatic hops and sweet malt, with a spicy bitter finish. Notes of pine resin, dank weed, orange peel, mild grapefruit, citrus, grass/hay, white pepper, caramel, earthy yeast and stewed hops. Slightly sweet, followed by a resinous bitterness upon swallowing. Mouthfeel is smooth and tingly, with mild carbonation and decent body. Hop oils stimulate the tongue. Somewhat astringent, accompanied by an aftertaste of pine resin, bitter aromatic hops and faint caramel.
Good stuff - my only real complaint is that it isn't particularly pale. More like an American 'bitter'. Looks OK, colour notwithstanding. The aroma and flavour are distinctly hop-driven, with a subtle malt backbone to provide balance. Decent body; carbonation could be enhanced to add texture. While I don't find the style to be especially suited to winter, it is a deliciously drinkable brew. Worth a punt if you come across it.

Copper colored brew, off white head to it, nice hoppy aroma, floral, light, not overbearing, just right for a pale ale.
Taste, a little bit of a spicy hop kick to this one, pretty cool. A little bit of pine. Its pretty much like a softer more sessionable Modus, although not as good (but what is?). Just the slightest bit of toastiness from the malt which is just right to be there, but allow the hops and spicy carbonation to kick in.
A solid pale ale, and then some. Great addition for disc golf or doing anything outside in warm weather. If it were available in my area, it would definitely be in the full summer rotation (that is until Torpedo and SNPA come out in cans).

(Served in an American pint glass)
A- This beer has a deep dark amber body with lots of floaties swirling around in with the gentle carbonation. There is a lumpy beige head that last for a good bit.
S- This fresh pale malt has a slight biscuit note to it with a woody green hops to follow that is soft and has an orange citrus quality to it.
T- The soft pale malt flavor is followed by a watery taste that grows as the beer opens up. There is a soft woody hops that leads to a big bitter pungent finish. The bitterness lingers a bit.
M- This beer has a medium light mouthfeel with a tight fizz finish.
D- This beer has big hops in the bitterness that overpower a lot of the other flavors. The malt is a bit soft and pretty light considering the dark amber body.

Medium sized light tan head settles into a nice lacing that is lasting quite some time above a clear caramel copper colored beer.
80/20 Piney to floral hops over caramel malts aroma. Really just guessing on the percentages but I think you get the drift.
The taste has a hops bite to it without citrus or floral or pine aspects jumping out anymore then the others, giving this beer a nice hops balance with a nice slight malt undertone.
A nice dryish aftertaste that does have much flavor on this medium bodied pale ale.
A pretty decent tasting pale ale, I'm glad I grabbed a six and not just included this in a build your own 6-pack.

Medium orange beer with a thin but ever present cap. The slight layer of white suds sticks to the glass and accurately represents your consumption progress.
The nose is clean and simple with a strong sweet malt and a firm hop presence. Just what a pale ale should smell like and nothing more. Very pleasant.
Taste is also in the simple yet good category. A fine sweet malt intro that's nicely flanked by a light touch of hop citrus. It's clean and super drinkable with nothing really out of wack. This is probably one of the most satisfying beers I've had from ska.
The mouthfeel again is delightlfully simple and in that simplicity lies the beauty of this beer. There is a nice compliment of slick malts to hop bittering. This is a strong beer, not in ABV but in the fact that it does everything well. A nice find and one that will find it's way into my fridge again and again.

One of the best pale ales in a can you'll ever find, if you can find it. Tastes great, high abv, eight of these and your doing fine. I like the skeleton on the can. Good marketing dude. Supposedly comes out around Christmas and runs out in February. Drank the last two March 3rd, so that rumor seems true.

A - amber with a thin lacing of white head that disappears quickly
S - very faint nose; some caramel and maybe some toasted malt
T - faint caramel, some bread, faint toast, some citrus, some faint piny bitterness
M - medium bodied, crisp, well carbonated
This is a simple, easy to drink beer. There isn't anything here that sets this apart from the group, but this is a refreshing APA with a subdued but enjoyable flavor profile. I don't think this is a beer that I will seek out again, but I certainly won't turn it down.

Appearance: This is a pale ale? Looks like a rustic amber with lots of yeast suspended in it. Great lacing as well, but that comes after the thick tan foam disappears.
Smell: Sweet caramel, marshmallows, pine, and flowers. Great Colorado scent.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Pine...and pineapple. Very unique. Some toasted pine nuts as well. Very enjoyable. Crisp mouthfeel that is very active. A tad thin at times.
Overall Drinkability: An incredible ale.

The Euphoria Pale Ale is a good pale ale from the SKA brewing Co. The beer pours a very nice clear copper with very thin off white head that is lacing nicely. The smell include pine, spice and citrus tones. The taste has a nice malt base with great hop flavors. There is an oily pine, slight spice and hint of bitter citrus (grapefruit). I am guessing Semcoe, Casscade, and maybe Zeus hops...but i'm not an expert. The mouthfeel is a good medium body with smooth carbonation. Overall a very taste beer that I think could be sessioned.

A: Brownish hue with tints of orange and ruby red; a huge, steady head and fantastic lacing
S: Wow, a weird hoppy funk: body odor? celery? asparagus? onion? and pine--I like it--also a bit of the typical citrus and grainy aromas
T: Not nearly as hoppy as aromas indicate but still pleasant pine and tea leaves (with subtle onion) bitterness and a bit of a grainy malt backbone
F: A bit carbonated and thin at the end though it does get better as it warms
D: A decent hoppy pale ale from Ska

pours a deep copper with light brown and ruby tone. big fluffy creamy head with amazing lacing and great retention.
light crisp citrus and pine with a very faint malty bread body.
sweet citrus and tropical fruit with a nice light pine bitterness. very light malty body that hides through out. another hop burst kicks in through the finish. lingering hoppy and malty aftertaste.
light and easy, but goes down painfully easy.
this is one amazing APA. i will buy this often.

If the sensor is a 16-bit sensor with some kind of active cooling (no, not necessarily a fan), and Canon doesn't completely botch the ISO 100 and 200 electronic noise, then it could stomp all over the D800. With an extra two bits of information they could push 15 stops of DR, maybe even a little more (but no more than 16.0.)
My guess is that its still probably their same old sensor tech, but with some kind of efficient cooling to keep the sensor below room temperature (thereby reducing electronic noise), and extra bit depth. Canon needs the active cooling because they are either incapable of innovating and patenting technology similar but different enough to Sony Exmor, or there simply ISN'T another way to reduce noise electronically like Exmor, and Canon either has to pay Sony royalties, or do something entirely different.
Am I wrong in thinking that the amount electronic noise stems from the placement of the image processing unit? Too close to the sensor, too much heat for say video, far enough away to eliminate heat more electronic noise as it passe through the camera?
Maybe they should redesign the chip and do a pure imaging camera meant for the absolute best stills possible.
Yes, bluntly. The biggest reason that Nikon/Sony have better 'DR', is because they have a WHOLE lot of ADCs on chip and Canon doesn't. If Canon were to move from 8 channels of readout to something like 32 or 64, they would instantly get a stop more DR. If they manage to get more DR out of a 46mp chip odds are they've gone onchip with the ADC (like Sony) and then their DR would be the same as (or more likely a little better) than Sony (since their Sensel/Pixel tech is apparently a little better than Sony's)
Its more complicated than that. Sony Exmor puts the ADC on the same die as the sensor itself. That shortens the channel distance from pixel to ADC. It is also a hell of a lot more than 64 ADC's...its one per column or few columns, which means there are thousands of ADC's. That allows each ADC to operate at a far lower frequency (since each one only has to process a small fraction of the total pixels in the sensor), and a large part of the reason ADC's add noise to the image is their high operating frequency (which tends to generate electronic noise.)
From what I understand, the 1D X already uses a 16-channel readout (8 channels per Digic 5+ processor). Moving to 32 or 64 channels would complicate the image processor (probably at high cost...high frequency ADC's of the caliber required for something like the 1D X aren't cheap), but probably not allow a full stop DR improvement. Each ADC would still be responsible for processing nearly 720,000 pixels every time an 46.1mp sensor was read out...where as if there was one ADC per column or two columns, each one would only have to read about 5500 or 11000 pixels every time a 46.1mp sensor was read out. By the time you get to the ADC, you've already extracted the pixel...and that pixel already has the bulk of the electronic noise present in the sensor. The ADC will add some, bit its minimal...a bit of additional noise due to the high frequency current and some quantization error noise...both of which look very natural and random. At the same time, its burning in the nasty kinds of noise...fixed pattern, horizontal and vertical banding (crosshatch pattern noise), transistor differential noise (difference in efficiency between each pixel), color noise, etc. Even though you have parallelized pixel conversion 64-fold...each ADC has to work with pixels from a lot of different columns, so they can't really correct vertical banding like a CP-ADC design can.
Canon's pixel technology really isn't better than Sony's. The high ISO capability of the 1D X, 5D III and 6D is thanks to a weaker CFA, which basically allows a lot more green light into the red and blue channels. It was a "cheat", since at the time Canon really didn't have any other way to combat the onslaught of sensor tech improvements from SoNikon. That cheat requires stronger curves to be applied when processing RAW images to compensate and "remove" that extra green in the red and blue channels...so while color can still look great, its not actually as pure and accurate as it could be.

Enhance Your Portfolio with This Energy Stock
Jhumpa is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Everybody wants to invest in a good stock that is going to offer the best returns in both the near future and also long term. Energy stocks are lucrative choice for the investors given the fact that it is a limited resource with a huge global demand. ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), one of the world's largest companies in terms of both revenues and market capitalization engages in the exploration and production of crude oil and natural gas, and manufacture of petroleum products, as well as transportation and sale of crude oil, natural gas, and petroleum products. It is also the largest of the oil supermajors: BP (NYSE: BP), Chevron (NYSE: CVX), Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE: RDS-B), and ConocoPhillips (NYSE: COP).
ExxonMobil increased its exposure to natural gas a few years ago, while other companies have pulled back. As natural gas prices remain weak due to oversupply, it may adversely affect the profitability of the oil companies. However, demand is moving up as the fuel continues to replace coal as a source of electricity.
Recently, ExxonMobil signed an exchange agreement with Denbury Onshore, LLC to acquire 100 percent of Denbury's Bakken shale assets. This will increase ExxonMobil's holdings in the Bakken region by 50% to nearly 600,000 acres, giving the company a significant presence in one of the major U.S. growth areas for onshore oil production. So, ExxonMobil has a chance of a substantial upside here.
ExxonMobil is currently trading around 52-week highs of $92.50 per share. In the last ten years between 2002 and 2012, the share prices have climbed from $25.46 to $91.52. However, price gains have been lower than Chevron's.
ExxonMobil continues to pay higher dividend amounts to its investors each year. Since 2001, the annualized dividend amount has been growing steadily at an average rate of 7% per year. Its current yield is decent at 2.47%, however lower than Chevron's 3.1% yield. The company has a P/E ratio of 9.7, equal to the average energy industry P/E ratio and below the S&P 500 P/E ratio of 17.7.
The current EPS (ttm) of $9.49 outperforms that of the industry and its competitors BP, Shell and Conoco but is lower than Chevron's. Exxon can provide stable income, as its payout ratio increased to 21%, less than half the industry average. Also, Exxon is projected to grow its EPS by 8.2% over the next several years.
It looks like the peers are cheaper than ExxonMobil in terms of trailing P/E and they also pay higher dividend yields. Shell offers highest dividend yield of 5.3%. It and BP might actually be better buys if the dividend is a significant factor for investors. ExxonMobil should trade at higher earnings multiple due to its market positioning, and so it might otherwise be a good pick.
Exxon's Q2 results reflect net income growth by 49.0% when compared to the same quarter one year prior, rising from $10.7 billion to $15.9 billion. However, the quarter earnings of $15.9 billion included a net gain of $7.5 billion associated with divestments and tax-related items. Excluding these items, second quarter earnings were $8.4 billion.
Exxon's debt-to-equity ratio is very low at 0.10 and is currently below that of the industry average, implying that there has been very successful management of debt levels.
The return on equity has improved slightly when compared to the same quarter one year prior. This can be construed as a modest strength in the organization. In comparison to other companies in the Oil, Gas & Consumable Fuels industry on the basis of return on equity, Exxon has underperformed in comparison with the industry average, but has greatly exceeded that of the S&P 500.
Final Thoughts
Exxon is a stable company with strong fundamentals given its sheer size and longevity in business, which has survived through many recessions in the past. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its solid stock price performance, compelling growth in net income, conservative management strategies, solid financial health with reasonable debt levels, attractive valuation levels and notable return on equity.
The company's dividend is also decent at 2.47%. While other majors offer a higher dividend, Exxon Mobil's dividend is generally more stable, and is certainly generous, given that the firm as a whole is on a better footing than many of its peers.
I believe demand for natural gas will not be forever low and the gas prices will rebound in short or medium term. Investors will eventually see the natural gas benefit on Exxon's stock prices if investment horizon is long. For me, ExxonMobil is a solid buy from a long term perspective.

Women's Tennis Shuts Down Belmont, 7-0, in A-Sun Dual
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Pushing its winning streak to three matches, the FGCU women's tennis team defeated Belmont in a 7-0 rout on Thursday afternoon at the FGCU Tennis Complex. The Eagles swept the three doubles matches to take the opening point, and went on to take all six singles contests in the Atlantic Sun dual meeting.
Leveling their conference mark, the Eagles upped their record to 7-5 (3-3 A-Sun) on the year, while Belmont fell to 5-8 (1-3 A-Sun) this spring. The Blue and Green were coming off back-to-back 4-3 victories over Mercer (March 12) and George Washington (March 14).
"Simply put, we got it done today," said third-year head coach Jennifer Gabou. "I continue to see our team steadily improve and compete with more fire through each and every match."
The Eagles swept the day's doubles point by taking all three of the opening paired contests. The FGCU team of senior Iris Rendon (San Antonio, Texas/Tyler Junior College) and freshman Bettina Botha (Cape Town, South Africa/De Kuilen HS) defeated the Belmont pair of Laura Stack and Lindsey Bennett, 8-0 in the No. 1 position to open the contest. In 8-4 decisions, the Eagles' team of freshman Gyanna Mandic (Oshowa, Canada/Edison Academies) and sophomore Morgan Bechtel (Toledo, Ohio/St. Ursula Academy) took down the Bruins' team of Abigail Hogan and Abby Leatherwood in the No. 2 spot, followed by another victory by sophomore Bibiana Almeida (Porto, Portugal/Schiller International School) and junior Jen Evans (Fort Myers, Fla./Evangelical Christian HS) over Catherine Holliday and Natalia Nunes in the No. 3 spot to complete the sweep.
Success from doubles action carried over to singles play for the Blue and Green as they took each of the six contests. In a straight-sets victory, Evans turned away Bennett, 6-0, 6-0, in the No. 4 matchup, and was followed by a 6-2, 6-0 win from Almeida over Stack in the No. 5 contest.
In the No. 1 contest, Bechtel was able to clinch the match for the Eagles as she earned their fourth point with a 6-2, 6-3 defeat of Leatherwood. It was the Toledo, Ohio native's first career victory in the No. 1 position.
Also earning victories for the Blue and Green, Rendon was victorious over Fabiana Mersan, 6-2, 6-1, in the No. 2 spot, and Botha defeated Holliday, 6-3, 6-4, at No. 3 singles. Completing the sweep of the dual, Mandic trumped Nunes, 6-4, 6-4, in the No. 6 position, as the Eagles went on the 7-0 victory.
The Eagles will return to the FGCU Tennis Complex on Saturday at 11 a.m. for another A-Sun dual with visiting Lipscomb. The Bisons come into the contest with a 2-9 (1-3 A-Sun) mark, after falling to Stetson, 7-0, on Thursday afternoon.

OLite 510
I highly recommend that you take a closer look at the Barco OLite 510. It may look like a single tile, and sure, you can use it as a tile to build a nice video screen. But if you look closer, you will discover that the tile is made up of modules that can be easily snapped out of the frame to be arranged in just about any manner or configuration. It's like taking a standard Lego block, but instead of building with the Legos, you literally reshape and dismantle the individual block, deconstructing it into many, much smaller component pieces to build any shape that you want. The modularity of the OLite 510 allows designers to integrate LED screen technology in set designs, to create screens of any shape and size, and to let the video flow over surfaces. You could drape them around doorways, use them in floors, or place them behind glass or acrylic panels for a variety of effects.
What It Does
The Barco OLite 510 is designed for either indoor or outdoor use and is supplied as a ready-to-use LED tile. However, each tile breaks down into 64 discreet modules, each with 8×11 pixels. "Each module is the size of a cigar box," says Mats Karlsson, product manager, creative light imaging for Barco Media and Entertainment. These modules are connected to a control unit inside the tile structure, by means of four cable strings, each providing power and signal to 16 modules.
The OLite 510 tile is 35.3"×26.5"×11.6" (896mm × 672mm × 294mm), and the modules are each 4.39"×3.29" (111.6mm × 83.6mm). The modules themselves are IP65 rated — even when they are not in the actual framework — so they can take pouring rain without any problems.
Taking them out of the frame could not be easier. It can be dismantled without tools. The modules slide in to place and are held firmly in place with integrated snap locks. Power and signal is handled by a single rugged connector that eliminates wiring errors and cuts assembly time. In case a module gets damaged, it is easily replaced without having to recalibrate or even turn off the system. "Disconnect the connector, and you are done," says Karlsson. "It is no more difficult than changing a light bulb."
How It Came To Be
"It was decided to make a 10mm high performance LED system using these three-in-one SMD (surface mount device), where you have the red, green, and blue pixel all behind one diffuse package," says Karlsson. "Soon, it became apparent that there was a way to make the screen modular from a usage point of view. It changed from a fixed tile to a modular tile very early on. The flexibility and the advantages far outweighed the small additional cost. Now, roughly, a year after its introduction, it is really taking off in a big way for us." Karlsson sums up his thoughts on the product, "With OLite, we got it right."
What's Next
"We are looking at a fixed installation version that is optimized for non-touring applications," says Karlsson. "The actual structure that is used for the tiles — the frame that the fixed form modules snap into — has proven to be a very functional and popular design, so that design is migrating into other products. There is a definite demand for a product that goes together quickly without using any tools."
What End-Users Have To Say
"We were the first ones in the world using the OLite 510, and on top of everything, we used them as Omix [deviating from the standard tile configuration]," says Ola Melzig, the production manager for the 2005 Eurovision Song Contest last May. "We used the OLites to do light lines and circles instead of putting them in a rental frame and use them as tiles. When we first started to look at it, the options of what you could do with this system were unlimited, but during the pre-production period, we hit a lot of speed bumps that limited the whole system and what we wanted to do with it. Thanks to Barco and [rental house] Massteknik, we managed to solve all these problems, and at the end of the day, we were able to use the system just the way it was originally planned."
Eurovision LD Per Sundin agrees. "With OLite — plus MiPIX and MiSPHERE — Barco finally hit a path that goes straight into the lighting industry," he says. "Especially the size of it and the high brightness give enormous possibilities to build into different set combinations. Also the software (mapping system), where you can define every tile, gives large possibilities to build LED walls in different scales, patterns, and shapes."
Kenneth Paterson, managing director of Massteknik Sweden AB, shares his thoughts on OLite. "Basically, it was the only product that could be used for the Eurovision production. The idea was that the backdrop would move during and between the songs. The product is extremely flexible, and therefore, it is possible to make stage sets that have not been possible previously. The negative part is the amount of time that it takes to re-cable the product between configurations. It is also an expensive solution, as one must use the original cables and lots of them. The cables that are included with the modules are only made for use when the modules are used as a screen, and the reason for buying OLite is the possibility of creative solutions. It is important to budget the additional cables and control boxes when investing."

On Wednesday, News Channel 8 reported the story of a honeymooner who nearly lost his life.
He was caught in a rip current off turtle beach until he was rescued by a mysterious teenager.
The teen brought him back to shore and then vanished and the man never got to say thank you. Related story: Man wants to thank Sarasota mystery rescuer
But News channel 8 got in touch with the teen hero and was there for the reunion.
On Monday night, Jonathan Kiviniemi went out for a swim in the gulf, and the waves nearly kept him there.
Kiviniemi said, "Tried to find my way back in, couldn't. Started getting weaker and weaker, I started yelling for help."
He was caught in a rip current. Kiviniemi and his wife Alexa were at the beach celebrating their honeymoon. During the terror all she could do was watch.
Alexa Miller said, "He was going to die."
Suddenly, Kiviniemi was not alone. He said, "Out of nowhere, from what I could see, this kid on a surfboard threw me a surfboard and I grabbed on, and started pulling me to shore"
A mysterious teen saved his life and then he was gone.
"I saw him and his mom exiting…and they were gone. Couldn't find him, couldn't thank him, anything," said Kiviniemi. "I don't know who he is, or where he's from or anything but hopefully we can find him."
The teen's parents caught wind of the story and reached out to News Channel 8.
The hero was their son- 15-year-old Sam Somogyi.
"[Kiviniemi] and his wife were embracing each other, and I thought, my duty was done," said Somogyi.
The teen had finished a long day at school and rowing practice, so he decided to hit the waves at Turtle Beach.
He was done surfing for the day and was on his way back in when he spotted the man.
He happened to be at the right place at the right time.
Somogyi said, "I was surfing. I had the wave, and he came out of nowhere. I saw his head pop up and I nearly ran him over."
The high school sophomore says survival instincts kicked in. He didn't know what he was doing.
The teen said, "At the beginning, he was kinda freaking out, he was out of breath, and then by the end he was helping me."
Once on land, the fifteen year old couldn't stick around, he had to study for a test.
"It was a long day, I was tired, I was hungry, I had homework, I had stuff to do, yeah," said Somogyi.
And that could've been the end of the story.
But for Kiviniemi, that could've been the end of his life.
So on Thursday Kiviniemi had a chance to say thank you to his young hero.
A title Somogyi doesn't think he deserves.
"I don't find myself like that, I just did what I could've done." Don't miss out on the day's top Facebook conversations http://on.fb.me/18y81Cl

We take advantage of the fact we're on an island, too, with all kinds of boating and fishing activities that set sail from Shelter Cove Marina. You can see science in real life here in Hilton Head.

How about family ski day where you have your choice of ski instruction, kneeboarding or tubing or let them try out paddleboarding with a few lessons in our calm inland lagoon system.

Our Anniversary Celebration package lets you celebrate your years of togetherness with a getaway to the beauty that is Hilton Head Island. Enjoy 7 days and 6 nights in an ocean view villa so you can fall asleep to the sound of the waves crashing on the beach. Take in Hilton Head's 80 miles of paved bike trails with bike rentals and paddle through our 11-mile saltwater lagoon system by kayak. Unwind with an individual or couples massage, as well as a luxurious facial treatment or therapeutic body scrub. Then get the blood pumping and see if you can best your significant other on the tennis courts.
Or if you're just beginning your life together, consider a Mini Moon at Palmetto Dunes. Many famous folks like Prince William and Princess Kate are opting to take an abbreviated honeymoon that consists of a long weekend right after the ceremony, saving the longer getaway for later. Our Mini Moon includes 3 nights at the resort, a $100 gift certificate for a romantic dinner, an individual or couples massage, facial treatment or body scrub, one-day bike rental (try pedaling our 3 miles of beach), double kayak rental through the lagoon and two hours of tennis court time daily. Choose to be as active or relaxed as you want with our Mini Moon!
If it's not a romantic getaway you seek, but just a relaxed adventure, try our Sun 'N Fun Island Escape Package. It packs in active relaxation and plenty of spa time. The package offers 4 days and 3 nights accommodations, one round of golf per person (don't stress about your performance, just relax and enjoy the beautiful views!), one day bike rentals, single kayak rentals to explore the lagoon, two hours of tennis time daily, a signature massage at Spa Soleil, facial treatment or body scrub, and as many beautiful views as you can take in!

#1 Tampa Bay Buccaneers Jadeveon Clowney DE South Carolina For the time being a new team has taken over the top spot in the draft order. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers seem to have something going with Mike Glennon at quarterback. So they go the obvious route by bolstering their struggling pass rush with cant-miss defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.
Haha. What nonsense. I can honestly say if we ended up with the #1 pick and took a lazy, overrated DE over the top QB.....I'd have to hang up my Bucs jersey. That level of ineptitude would just be the last straw.
Every time I see last post JC5100, I have to click on it.... Pure comedy.
What is your point? I was wrong? Ok. You win. I was wrong.
"Tampa won't go quarterback"Whhaaaaaaaaatttttttt? Not sold on having an adequate QB in Glennon. We need a superstar back there.
If Clowney is our guy you would think we would be able to swindle a few picks from Minnesota if this ends up being the draft order. Would love Clowney obviously, but it would be hard to pass on Bridgewater or Mariota. If we could get a second and a first next year and only have to move down two spots I probably pull the trigger. Take Clowney 3rd overall and hope that Boyd is there at the top of the second and then you have that extra 2nd to take a TE or a Offensive lineman.

Moreno is now Zephyrs all-time wins leader
A win by Eric Moreno Sunday against Gering put the WESTCO pitcher in a four-way tie atop the all-time wins list for the organization with 24. Now he sits alone at the top following an 8-0 win over visiting Sidney Thursday night.
Already the Zephyrs all-time strike out leader, Moreno added to that total with 15 Thursday. He moved his record to 6-1 this season as the Zephyrs moved to 22-11.
Moreno gave up back-to-back singles to start the game then settled down and surrendered just one more hit the rest of the game.
The Zephyrs had four two run innings on the way to the win. Ty Benson continued his hot hitting with a three-hit two rbi game. Ty Dunkel added a couple of hits, and the third Ty in the equation, Wilson, added a solo home run.
In the juniors game the WESTCO Express moved to 24-5 on the year with a 13-1 win over Sidney. Eric Olsen struck out 11 on the way to his second win of the season.

About the Candidate:
Rick writes, "Our country is in tumultuous times. Rampant unemployment and the instability of our financial institutions, combined with an unstable dollar and the endless military campaigns, have created bitterness and anger in our hearts. A loud and universal vocal condemnation is coming from everyone outside the beltway. It is optimistic that more Americans are waking up to the real political nightmare that envelops us, however that understanding cannot save us if we continue to be divided as a nation. We must fight the cause and not the symptoms. The unrestrained corruption clearly visible in all levels of government is responsible for our pervasive apathy and frustration. Our founders' vision and our prosperity are both being demolished. "The Republicrats that are running our federal institutions are shamelessly disregarding their constitutional oaths by passing laws contrary to our principles and in opposition to public opinion. Their reprehensible behavior heralds the beginning of the painful end of our great experiment; a government of the people. "There is hope in the changes that have occurred over the last decade. We are becoming aware of our political surroundings, yet we feel powerless to effect change even though there is a solution at our fingertips. It is time that We The People clean house and reclaim our government. All of our voices will be heard.

Thank You to the KIND Gentleman who paid for our lunch at Liberty Diner.
We went to lunch wearing our Indiana's NewsCenter Something To Believe In Breast Cancer Walk T-Shirts and a wonderful man in the next booth paid the waitress for our lunch in honor of the Breast Cancer Walk. He didn't stick around for a Thank You. We gladly donated our lunch money to the walk! This random act of kindness touched our hearts and was the talk of the office when we returned. We would like to Thank this KIND man for his donation!

CATEGORIES Comedy, Deals, Movies, CinematicalI've never been to an office party that's spun wildly, hilariously out of control. Growing up, it was the sort of adult experience that was promised to me by the movies: that I would get a "real job," work at a desk, and that at Christmas everyone would drink, chase their secretaries, and later regret kissing a co-worker under the mistletoe. (Yes, I now realize that I thought being an adult would be an endless episode of Mad Men.)
Sadly, those of us who have worked in offices and attended countless workplace holiday parties all know that the out-of-control Christmas gathering is a rarity. Yet the idea lives large in myth and legend, and shall be celebrated in a new film currently under construction by writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore -- who mined gold from the Vegas bachelor-party concept with The Hangover -- to be directed by Blades of Glory filmmakers Will Speck and Josh Gordon.
The new picture, as pointed out by the L.A. Times, will be a return to holiday fare for the writers, who also penned the 2008 Vince Vaughn/Reese Witherspoon comedy Four Christmases. But the final product's bound to have an altogether different sensibility -- the rather pedestrian Four Christmases was directed by Seth Gordon (who's not relatedto Josh, as far as I know) as his first feature after the success of his documentary The King Of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters (Gordon went on to direct episodes of Community and The Office, as well as the Freakonomics doc that hits theaters in November) while Speck-Gordon are the minds behind this month's Jennifer Aniston-with-a-turkey-baster comedy The Switch.
Plus, as the Times points out, The Hangover's raunchy men-misbehaving shenanigans made it the most successful R-rated comedy in history, and Blades of Glory is the fourth-highest-grossing sports comedy of all time (really? I mean, I guess the Times wouldn't lie), so as far as the suits are concerned, the combination's as close to a sure thing as Hollywood can deliver. Let the Scotch-drenched, secretary-chasing hijinks commence.

Bush's Role in Corporate Fraud
By Willliam Black and James Galbraith
President George W. Bush has reassured us that ''From the antitrust laws of the 19th century to the S&L reforms of recent times, America has tackled financial problems when they appeared.'' But the savings & loan reforms came seven years and 150 billion taxpayer dollars late. Nor did that problem merely ''appear.'' It was created by a deregulation bill in 1982 overseen at that time by Vice President George Bush.
From 1981 to 1988, the Reagan-Bush administration covered up the S&L debacle. It forced reductions in S&L examiners and fought against the top federal regulator, Ed Gray, who sounded the alarm. Charles Keating, the felon who drove Lincoln Savings into the most expensive S&L failure in history ($3 billion) considered Vice President Bush an ally in his efforts to force Gray from office. Only after he was safely elected president did Bush propose to reregulate the S&L industry in 1989.
Meanwhile, Neil Bush, private citizen, was getting a ''loan'' from a business partner. The partner invested the loan for the president's son with the agreement that if the investment succeeded Neil would get all the profits and repay the debt, but if it failed he would not have to repay. Neil knew that this business partner was not creditworthy and yet was borrowing over $100 million from Silverado S&L, where Neil was a member of the board. Neil did not warn Silverado that the borrower was not creditworthy. When Silverado failed, the Office of Thrift Supervision proposed a minor enforcement action against Neil, which the Bush administration then attempted to block.
George W. Bush, private citizen, emulated his brother Neil. He became rich through a buyout of his interest in the Texas Rangers at a huge profit. How did he purchase that interest in the first place? He got a very large loan from a very friendly bank. How was the bank able to justify the loan? If at all, because of the market's valuation of Bush's shares in Harken. Why was he on Harken's board of directors and also a well-paid consultant? Because his name was Bush. Why was he able to sell his Harken shares for a profit? Because Harken committed a financial fraud that hid real losses and created fictional income.
What was the nature of that fraud? It was a variant on the Enron and Lincoln Savings frauds. Harken insiders formed a entity which ''purchased'' Harken's bad assets for a grossly excessive price. But Harken financed almost all of the sale. If the bad assets had stayed on the books, Harken would have had to report severe losses, threatening its survival and causing its stock values to plummet. George W. Bush is a wealthy man today because his business friends were willing to stoop to fraud to make him rich.
George W. Bush is in trouble, in part, because of his clumsy coverups of this fraud. Knowing of the severe problems at Harken, Bush sold around 200,000 shares of stock for around $4 a share. (We do not know who purchased Bush's shares, but was it the ever-friendly Harvard Management Corp., which had started buying Harken when Bush joined it and had, by 1990, become one of its largest holders?) He then failed to file required notice of these sales. When challenged on that point, he first claimed that the SEC ''lost'' his filing. His second story was to blame the failure on Harken's lawyers. But that won't wash. Bush was selling his own stock, and was therefore personally responsible for filing the documents.
Bush claims to see nothing wrong about Harken's frauds. However, the goal was to hide real losses and to book fictional income. The people who made the decision and the board of directors stood to gain directly from the fraud, and Bush did benefitenormously.
Bush is also wrong on the accounting. This was a deliberately complicated transaction for the same reason that Enron's and Lincoln Savings's partnerships were complicated. Complexity makes it hard for regulators to discern fraud. While the transaction was complicated, the underlying fraud is so well known that the accounting rules governing such transactions are not vague. There was no ''honest dispute'' about accounting rules. There was a deliberate fraud structured in a complicated manner in order to claim that it wasn't really deliberate.
Now Bush tells us that the Securities and Exchange Commission needs to be strengthened. But he appointed an SEC head, Harvey Pitt, who as a lawyer for the accountants led the campaign to block the Clinton administration's effort to clean up the accounting profession. Back in Texas, then-Governor Bush was proud that he had made it extremely difficult for securities fraud victims to receive compensation through lawsuits. When the Enron scandal broke, Bush continued this line, suggesting that victims of fraud who bring suits are ''extort[ionists].'' He, and Republicans in the House, have fought vigorously to stop real accounting reform.
President George W. Bush is right to bring up the S&L debacle as an analogy. He is following in his father's footsteps: First, create the problem by taking actions that encourage fraud. Second, do nothing while the frauds become epidemic. Finally, when the scandal breaks, claim like Claude Rains in ''Casablanca'' that he is ''shocked, shocked'' that gambling is going on. In Bush's case, the winnings from gambling were safely pocketed long ago.

3.53/5 rDev -6.9%
A- Pours near pitch black with no highlights around the edges. A thin, crispy, kahki colored head that fades quickly and leaves little touches of lacing sticking to the sides.
S- Dark fruit that was gently smoked, dark Belgian cocoa powder, black iced coffee, roasted hazelnuts/pecans/walnuts/almonds, and maybe just a touch of the bourbon... smells more like a peaty scotch. Nice, not spectacular... but nice sitting by the fire and sniffing.
T- Some cocoa, smoked malt (or charred barrel), some sour cherry yeastiness. Picking up a little booze. Gentle notes of over-ripe banana, light coffee, figs, dried cranberries and roasted walnuts.
M- Pretty thin and whimpy. Nice bitter chocolate finish. Just a light touch of booze.
O- This is a good, not great effort from Smuttynose. The bourbon has more of a single malt scotch taste to me... lots of smoked peat, not so much vanilla/oak/maple syrup. Again, decent... but nothing that I'd be running out looking for.

Poured into a chalice pretty much black except when held close to the light there is some deep brown that barely shows,a thinner beige head atop.Caramel and toffee notes stick out most in the nose along with some Belgian yeasty spiced notes.A nice mix of earthy roasty stout,vanilla/barrel, and yeasty spiced Belgian Dark on the palate,not overly sweet and it's pretty earthy in the finish.Comparing this to the Thirteenth Hour Stout this wins because it's more complex and not overly sweet,it's just good.

In my tulip glass this beer was near black in color. It had a dark tan head with a little bit of lace.
The aroma was dark fruit and cherry. Kind of toasty. Some vanilla
Nice taste. Toffee, sweet fruit/cherry. Some chocolate, and a little bit of vanilla.
This was a nice beer, just a little bit thinner than I thought it would be.
Still enjoyed it, though.

Bomber bottle. Label tells me it was "Bottle-conditioned in: 2012"
Belgian style stout aged in bourbon barrels. Pours near black, dark tan head that rapidly goes to a film, minor collar and then leaves moderate amounts of ringed low sheeting and then minimal spotty lacing.
Nose of dark chocolate, brandy and some licorice.
Tasty, big and bold, with more rich chocolate notes as well as some bitter coffee. On the thinner side body wise. Finishes with a biting and super drying hop presence.
I like it, gonna put a bottle away for Christmas dinner and pair it with a decadent chocolate and raspberry cake.

3.99/5 rDev +5.3%
Bomber from Premier Gourmet, Buffalo, which was graciously shared with me at a recent tasting. 5.99 a bomber - good brew for the price.
Poured into a goblet. Dark chestnut brown, about a half inch of head, recedes to a thick ring.
Nose is really something. Nice mild coffee, caramel, whiskey, and a nice nutty smell as well. Maybe a touch of Belgian yeast, but really I had this as an American brown.
Nice sipping beer, very smooth. Good roasted malt, light coffee and the whiskey is certainly present, but not overpowering. Nutty finish with a touch of puckery hops. Not getting a lot of Belgian ale in the taste either.
The Belgian mouthfeel I think holds this brew back a bit - it lacks that thickness that the tastes seem to demand, and the carbonation is a touch high.
Nice brew, tasty sipper. Belgian dark ale blends well with the bourbon aging, and though the mouthfeel wasn't doing it for me, it was still an enjoyable brew and priced just right!

3.71/5 rDev -2.1%
Deep dark brown colored with a low light brown head that settles out quickly. Low aroma of roasted malt and cocoa. Very rich flavor of deeply roasted malt, a bit of roast bitterness, cocoa, espresso, root beer, and molasses. Punctuated with a Belgian yeast type funk with clovey esters. Full mouthfeel, not too creamy, finishes slightly dry. Bitter roast lingers. Good beer, but the clovey funk detracts a bit for me.

Bottle conditioned in 2012
(Served in a tulip glass)
A- This beer pours an opaque black body with a thick coco tan head that last for a short bit. There are strands of microbubbles trailing up the side of the glass.
S- The yeast ester aroma of raisins fades away quickly with some more full black roasted malt aroma and a fusel alcohol heat note finishes.
T- The dry roasted black malt has some dark tootsie roll flavors as the beer opens. There is a roasted black bitterness in the finish with some mellow alcohol heat. Some faint burnt toast notes and slight hints of dark fruit esters come through when it is pretty warm.
M- The medium-light mouthfeel has a tight fizz and a gentle alcohol heat lingers.
O- This beer has a nice black roasted malt flavor but it is otherwise a bit thin and a bit to hot in alcohol. There isn't much yeast characteristics that it really needs for support or any other hop or malt flavors to add depth to the beer.

22oz bottle split and poured into snifters. Bottle conditioned in 2012.
A: Pours a very dark brown with a 2 finger slightly tanned head. Takes a minute or two to settle down to a thin covering. A good amount of yeast settles to the bottom of the glass. No real lacing.
S: Has a fruity aroma that I was not expecting from such a dark beer. I'd say its a cherry mixed with a yeastiness. If you look for it you can get some of the bourbon notes.
T: The two snifters taste very different with one having the yeast poured into it. The start of the bottle holds much more bourbon and roasted malt while the bottom of the bottle is fruitier and has a tart bitterness. Nice and complex.
M: Medium bodied with a good warming feel, a little slick toward the back end. Very drinkable for a bourbon stout.
Overall this one is certainly worth a try. Complex and different. Imagining this would age very well and hope I can snag another bottle.

4.06/5 rDev +7.1%
Pour is extremely dark brown to the point of a black hole. Minimal mocha receding head clings to the sides.
Aromas of baking chocolate, Concord grape juice, roasted grain and malt. Nice sweetness to it with coffee and faint alcohol. To me a classic Belgium ale.
Taste initially is bittersweet chocolate. Caramel cola, star anise, sweet malt and hops. Temps 55-60' yield more pronounced oaky bourbon with vanillas and Belgium sugars.
Medium to heavy bodied with a creamy texture as you savor this. Each sip has the aroma of roasted grain and the drying bitterness lays on the tongue awhile. Some stickiness on the lips.
Not over the top barrel aged brew yet satisfying and I would even go as far to say that this is a sleeper in the world of whale hunting. I've had a few of these and look forward to this for years to come. These guys and gals always keep their craft extremely well priced and a solid fare! Can't find that whale, give this a go!

22oz bomber, a gift
Served in half acre goblet - dark bodied with a light mocha head. I am not a Smuttynose enthusiast, though I know they are more capable than this. Smuttynose calls this a 'belgian style stout'. I guess I should be honest and state that I think the words 'belgian' and 'stout' should not be combined - the clash of yeast strains and dark roasty malt is very offputting to me. They sat this sucker in bourbon barrels for a bit too, but that's lost in the shuffle. Too bitter, too roasty - a mess

Picked this up in NC
Pours an eefervescent mahogany/black with 2 fingers of caramel colored head. Zero head retention & lacing
S: Figgyness, plums brown sugar & some boozeyness
T: Roastyness, raisins, a touch of coffee & a touch of caramel up front, slight boozeyness as well. Carob & plums as this warms, some candi sugar & raisins & baker's chocolate & some boozey warming & vanilla/caramel notes. Finishes dry, sweet & fruitty & slightly warming with nice chocolatey notes
MF: Medium bodied with slight carbonation, some stickyness
A fairly complex, enjoyable & drinkable example of the style. As usual Smutty kicks ass

BIG BEER series... 22 oz bottle poured into a tulip glass.
A -- Very dark black with a toasted marshmallow (toasted, not burnt!) head. The head has very very fine bubbles, which almost look like the head on a nitro-stout.
N -- subtle, sexy desserty scents fill the nose. Dark roasted malts.
T -- Like the bottle promises this beer blends chocolate and caramel from the malts, fruit from the Belgian yeast, and some really smooth vanilla flavors from the bourbon. I usually dont like really strong bourbon flavors, but this one hits the right notes. Really good.
D -- Smooth, silky. The alcohol hits you pretty quick even though its not in the taste too much.
O -- Love it. Really good. Good blend of different flavor profiles.

You know looking at Steve Prescott's goblinoids again...they're not blowing me away or anything, but realistically, they're probably better than any of the Monster Manual goblinoids.
I'm coming around to the muscular goblin in particular. I would like to see his muscles more knotty and kind of ugly though.
The hobgoblin is solid, I would like to see more evil...but I don't have any specific suggestions for how to accomplish that. I like the samurai meets roman armor style a lot.
The bugbear I remain firmly opposed to. I have never imagined them as looking anything like lanky basketball-player lion-men, ever. Not even close. They're thick-hipped with shaggy hair and short legs. They get their stealthiness and short-range quickness from having a wide, stable, compact physique. More like a defensive lineman than a basketball player.

Yes, yes, and yes. I like the Hobgoblin, but the other two leave me in great dislike. The Goblin looks like an original Dark Sun Halfling who spends too much time at the ear stretcher. The Bugbear looks like the really skinny guy who went on an over-the-top workout regimen and thinks he's the coolest guy around while still completely lacking a personality.

Provide a paycheck deduction for unions?
By Opinion Staff
Teachers, firefighters, police, transit workers and other public employees in Florida who belong to a union can have their union dues automatically deducted from their paychecks.
The House has passed a bill to put a stop to that. A Senate committee has approved a bill that would forbid unions from using automatically deducted dues for any political purpose, directly or indirectly.
Why is this happening? Because in recent elections public employee unions have backed Democrats. Republican lawmakers pushing for the ban cite other objections, of course.
They say they're protecting workers from union raids on their paychecks. The say taxpayers shouldn't have to help unions collect their dues. And they say state government simply should have no role in collecting money that can be used for political purposes.
All the objections are bogus. Florida is a right-to-work state, which means union membership is voluntary. Any worker who doesn't want to pay union dues doesn't have to. Workers have to approve the deduction for union dues.
Providing the deduction is not a burden on taxpayers. The union check-off is just one of roughly 300 offered by the state, including automatic deduction programs for United Way and insurance premiums.
And speaking of those insurance premiums, they go to insurance companies that have a lot of business before the Legislature. Often, they pay lobbyists to work on bills and contribute to lawmakers' campaigns. So if no part of union dues should be used for politics, shouldn't the same prohibition apply to insurance premiums?
We think the state should continue to offer a paycheck deduction for unions. What do you think? Take our poll.

About 3,000 girls and their adults mentors are expected to participate in the Girls on the Run 5K race Sunday in the Manassas area.
Registration for the race begins at 6:45 a.m. at the Jiffy Lube Live Amphitheater, just outside of Manassas in Bristow.
Participating women and girls will gather under their schools' corral color at 7:45 a.m. and the race will commence at 8:30, according to the group's website.
The purpose of the Girls on the Run afterschool athletic program is to empower and build the self-esteem of young girls in third through fifth grades through running.
There is a second program, called Girls on Track, for young ladies in the sixth through eighth grade, according to the group website.
Through running, the coaches work with the girls to address and improve their physical and emotional health while training for the semi-annual 5K runs—one in the fall and one in the spring.
Sections of University Boulevard and Wellington Road will close between 7:45 and 10 a.m. for Saturday's fall run, said Art Klos, permit manager at the Virginia Department of Transportation.
Here is an outline of the exact road closures and the alternate routes:
Closed Road: Both directions of Wellington Road between University Boulevard and Piney Branch Lane near the Jiffy Lube Live Amphitheater.
Detour route: Devlin Road to Linton Hall Road to Wellington Road
Closed Road: Both directions of University Boulevard between Route 29, Lee Highway and Wellington Road
Detour route:Lee Highway to Linton Hall Road to Wellington Road

|Holiday plight of retail workers
By Robert Reich
WE'RE OFFICIALLY into Christmas buying season when American consumers determine the fate of American retailers and, indirectly, the American economy.
What's often forgotten is that consumers are also workers, and if their pay doesn't keep up, they can't keep the economy going.
