Cape Liberty:
We traveled from south-central Pennsylvania so the ride took 2.5 to 3 hrs. It was an easy drive. Dropped off luggage with porters and then parked car within easy walking distance. We actually expected a longer drive so we arrived VERY early. There is a separate room for Aqua Class and Suites but, since we were there before 10 am there wasn't anyone in line anyway. We boarded the ship at 11 and went to the Aqua Spa Cafe for lunch.
Cabin 9112 Starboard. There have been a lot of threads regarding the deck 9 bathroom and how old they were. Our bathroom may have been the exception. It was clean and appeared to have been refurbished. The upgraded shower was nice but did not impress me as much as other posters have indicated. There are glass doors that open in barn-door style. These doors do open both ways helping to keep the water off the floor when leaving the shower. I liked that. The mirror is heated and does not fog.
There have also been posts about noise from the deck above. We did not experience any noise either in our cabin or on our balcony.
The view from the balcony was great. If you looked straight down you would see the top of a life boat; however, being on deck 9 your eyes were naturally drawn past that and out to sea.
Lots of storage room. One tip that I learned on Cruise Critic was to store the suitcases under the bed. LOTS of room there. We stored three 28 in suitcases and a garment bag there without problem. We moved the robes to make more room for clothes in the closet (did I mention the 3 LARGE suitcases?) and with the drawers under the safe had plenty of room.
Our room steward (Muhamad) did a good job. We barely saw him but things were clean and well kept.
A note about docking in Bermuda: We cruised the Summit to Bermuda in 2010 and had a starboard cabin. At that time the ship docked so that our balcony faced the bay. This was very nice and beautiful. I purposely booked a starboard cabin this time for that reason. The ship docked this time so that our starboard cabin faced the port. A nice surprise for us. We enjoyed this different perspective of Bermuda and watching the activity was fun; especially as we watched the last two people running to catch the ship 5 minutes before we departed. Needless to say they were very popular and were met by applause and cheering from the many balconies.
The best review of the cabin that I can give is to say that I will request this very cabin for our future cruises.
Blu: I really enjoyed Blu. Food quality was exceptional. One observation (not a complaint): Service could be a bit spotty. Although very friendly the waiters did; at times, seem a bit frazzled and rushed. Nicholas the Maitre D was very professional and friendly.
Normandy: We ate one meal at the Normandy and it was; as always, exceptional
MDR: We also ate one meal in the MDR. The MDR is a classic cruise experience and we did not want to miss out entirely. My DW and I have a difference of opinion here. She felt the MDR experience was wonderful and felt that she missed dining there. I; on the other hand, felt the MDR was crowded, noisy and the food was simply OK. Blu had me spoiled.
Bistro on Five: A joy. I recommend that everyone spend some time in Bistro on Five. I remember reading other posters stating how this was well worth the $5 cover and thought to myself "we will see". Well, I agree. the food was great and Elizabeth and Miheala (SP?) were wonderful and a true joy to meet.
Auqa Spa Cafe: We had lunch there the first day and it was enjoyable. With all of the other options we never made it back.
Gelateria: Good gelato but to be honest, with the quality of the ice cream being served at the buffet I had problems paying for the gelato.
Waterfall Grill (by the pool): Black Angus burgers freshly cooked with any fixing that you wish are always a winner with me. Trust me, it is worth the wait & the calories. The hot dogs are great also.
Waterfall Grill: the buffet was a big surprise for me. With all of the other food options most of our meals at the buffet consisted of the Pizza and the Sushi. Pizza was great but they do run out quickly. This means what you receive is fresh but you must be patient. I thought the sushi was very good. I had sushi on two evening and enjoyed it both times. I am not a sushi expert so can only provide my uneducated opinion.
Qsine: due to enjoying all of the other venues we did not make it to Qsine. We will save that till next time.
We found EVERYONE to be incredibly friendly and cordial from the girl cleaning the windows who stopped and turned to say "welcome" to the people cleaning to the bar servers who always had a smile and a bit of advice for dealing with rough seas.
A few key personnel who made our experience exceptional:
Winston (Jamaica): Martini Bar
Alvaro (Columbia): Rendez-Vous Lounge
Elizabeth (Mexico): Bistro on five
Miheala (Romania): Bistro on Five and Gelateria
Nicholas (South Africa): Blu
Sebastian (??): Blu
Kristina (Phillipines): Lead singer for Rhythmics
Production Shows: the shows were fun and entertaining. Sometimes a bit campy (Sirens for one) but still fun. A good way to spend your time.
Lounge shows: We spent most of our evenings at the Rendez-Vous lounge listening to the Rhymics. A very good band. We had a blast dancing to them.
The rest of the entertainment was good but we spent most of our time as mentioned above.
Ship condition:
Overall ship condition was great. Very clean and bright. Lots of nooks to sit and watch the ocean or people or; as many people did, nap. Even though the ship was recently Solcitized, there were a few spots that could use a bit of sprucing up but these are minor and not worth focusing on.
We've been to Bermuda two prior times so this trip was more about enjoying the ship than it was the island. We took the free trolley over to the dock area and walked around the Clock Tower Mall but tht was the extent of our visit to the Island.
Being able to enjoy an empty pool area while everyone else was on the island was heaven.
A great cruise experience that I look forward to doing again soon.

(WMC-TV) - A dumpster dive could help find crooks who swiped two handguns from an off-duty Memphis Police officer's truck.
Thieves stole guns and several other items from the truck in the parking lot of Sekisui Pacific Rim on Poplar Avenue. The officer's gym bag turned up inside a dumpster Saturday at Summer Avenue and Highland Street.
A duty weapon, personal handgun, and ammunition remain missing. Although, a police radio and other items were dug out of a dumpster.
Tony "Bones" Malone of Memphis is a mechanic, not a detective. But he immediately knew the stuff he found inside this dumpster Saturday belonged to a police officer.
"Called the crime scene unit, they came and took photographs and everything, the FBI came," said Malone.
The parking lot of Rightire, where he works, filled up with police cars Saturday. The dumpster is located near the opposite corner of Summer Avenue and Highland Street.
Malone said a homeless man, with whom he shared a sausage biscuit, told him about the black Nike bag inside the dumpster.
"It all started from a biscuit, and rolled uphill and downhill from there ... pretty different," said Malone.
At the time, Malone did not know an off-duty officer's uniform, badge, guns, ammo, and other items were swiped from his truck the night before in a parking lot outside Sekisui Pacific Rim.
Police said the cop saw the crooks committing the crime, but he was unable to stop them.
"Obviously, we know what they're going to use the stuff for ... To probably go out and do harm to other people," said Malone hoping the crooks are caught.
The suspects were last seen in a white Nissan Maxima with a Tennessee tag.
According to MPD's policy regarding weapon storage, officers should take all necessary steps to prevent the loss or theft of firearms.
Police say Friday's incident is still being reviewed.

Volleyball Defeats Prairie View A&M, 3-1
CORAL GABLES, Fla. - The Florida Gulf Coast University women's volleyball team earned its first victory of the season Saturday afternoon as it concluded its portion of the Hurricane Invitational with a 3-1 (25-19, 25-17, 25-27, 25-12) victory over Prairie View A&M at the James L. Knight Sports Complex in Coral Gables, Fla.
The victory moved the Eagles to 1-2 on the season while Prairie View A&M dropped to 0-3.
"We ran a lot of different players in and got a lot of different looks with the lineup," FGCU head coach Dave Nichols said. "It was good to get some of the younger players in-game experience."
FGCU came out hot in the first set as it quickly opened a 7-2 lead thanks to a kill from junior Emma Racila (Fort Myers, Fla.). The Eagles pushed that lead to 13-4 after a hitting error by Panther Cheri Lindsay. Lindsay's kill brought the Panthers back within three at 14-11. That was as close as they would get as FGCU opened a seven point lead at 21-14 and eventually won the set 25-19 thanks to a kill by junior Jelena Simic (Lazarevec, Serbia).
The Eagles opened another big lead in the second set this time garnering a 13-5 advantage. The Eagles stretched that lead to 19-9 after an attack error by Lindsay that prompted a Panther timeout. Prairie View A&M cut the Eagle lead to five at 22-17 but FGCU closed the set with three consecutive points to claim the set 25-17 and take a 2-0 lead. Junior Amy Casteel (Hollywood, Fla) ended the set with her lone ace of the match.
The Panthers refused to go down without a fight as they captured the third set 27-25. FGCU led 10-6 early after a kill by freshman Lindsey Childs (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.). The Eagles maintained that four point lead as far as 16-12 before the Panthers began to chip away at it and eventually tie the score at 22 apiece. FGCU had three match point chances but were unable to capitalize on any of the three. Trailing 25-24, the Panthers won the next three points to force a fourth set.
Losing the third set did not fluster the Eagles as they jumped out to another early lead in the fourth set. Simic blasted consecutive kills to put FGCU up 3-0 and two kills from junior Jacqueline Cowden (Danville, Calif.) helped give the Eagles an 11-5 advantage. FGCU led 20-12 and then won the final five points of the match to close out the Panthers 25-12. Cowden finished the set with six kills as FGCU's hitting percentage was a blistering .565 (15-2-23) in the fourth and final set. Prairie View A&M hit just .048 (6-5-21) in the fourth set.
"The starters came back in cold off the bench and took care of business," Nichols said of the fourth set. "It's definitely a good thing to see. They picked it up and finished strong."
For the match, FGCU's hitting percentage was .220 (45-18-123) compared to the Panthers' .111 (44-30-126).
Cowden and Simic each had a team-high 11 kills for FGCU while senior Ashley Yance (Fort Myers, Fla.) chipped in with six of her own. Senior Chandra Lefever (Fort Morgan, Colo.) led the Eagles with 23 assists while Casteel finished with 14. Sophomore Holly Youngquist (Fort Myers, Fla.) finished the match with 18 digs for the Eagles.
Nichols thinks the tournament, which saw also FGCU lose to in-state opponents Miami and South Florida, was a great experience for the program.
"Our objective was to be a better team at the end of the tournament and I think we are," Nichols said. "When you play against teams like that they are going to expose your weaknesses and make players realize that we need to take another step forward in practice."
The Eagles will be in action next at the Holiday Inn LA Center Trojan Invitational in Los Angeles, California on September 3 at 10 p.m. when they take on the University of Southern California. They will play Northern Arizona September 4 at 7:30 p.m. in Los Angeles and will take on Pepperdine September 5 at 4 p.m. before returning to Fort Myers.
FGCU opens the home portion of its schedule against Belmont on September 18 at 5 p.m. at Alico Arena.

Yeast Dough
This yeast dough recipe is adapted from a version by baker Seth Greenberg, owner of Just Desserts, whose treats are distributed by East End Cookie Company. Use the dough to make Sugar Buns, Sticky Buns, and Monkey Bread.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 2 packages active dry yeast (1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons)
- 1/4 cup warm water (100 to 110 degrees)
- 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
- 1 cup bread flour
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
Step 1
In a small bowl, mix together yeast and warm water; set aside.
Step 2
In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream together butter and sugar on medium speed, scraping down sides of bowl with a spatula as necessary. Add egg yolks, one at a time, mixing well after each addition and scraping down sides of bowl with a spatula as necessary.
Step 3
Add vinegar and vanilla; mix to combine. Slowly add sour cream, mixing until well combined. Add yeast mixture.
Step 4
In a large bowl, whisk together both flours and salt. Add to mixer and mix on low until well combined and dough begins to pull away from the sides of the bowl and just begins to form a ball.
Step 5
Turn dough out onto a lightly floured work surface. Knead dough until smooth, about 5 minutes. Lightly flour the bottom of a large glass bowl; place dough in bowl and cover with a clean damp kitchen towel. Cover bowl tightly with plastic wrap; let stand until doubled in size, about 3 to 4 hours, or refrigerate overnight.

Yes this recipe actually works! It works to perfection ! Best sweet rolls I have ever made and I've made many. Definitely a keeper! Thank you Martha for another fabulous recipe!!!!
TheWiz0822 Sep, 2013
It's frustrating that this recipe says you can refrigerate the dough overnight but then does not give any direction on how to prepare the dough for use the next day. It should say to pull the dough out of the fridge so many hours before you need to use it as it needs to come to room temperature.
nazia3029 Jul, 2013
I made this recipe and it turned out quite well. This is a great recipe for those who have never worked with yeast before.
Karen Moses14 Jan, 2013
I am so much under a great impression - I am a beginner baker and I am making this dough exactly as I saw on Martha Bakes and it is the first time that it comes out and feels exactly as it says on TV. This is the second time that a Martha Stewart recipe is a success - thank you so much.

I think I love it
Aniatass7 Aug, 2011
@alev_ada I tried it and it worked despite curious order of steps. Delicious!
alev_ada14 Jul, 2011
This recipe strikes me as strange because every baking book for advanced bakers including proffessional ones recommends kneading flour, water, yeast and sometimes eggs BEFORE you add fat and sugar. This is because fat and sugar inhibits the formation of gluten. I am wondering then if this recipe actually works.

MESQUITE – Violence interrupted Black Friday shopping at the Town East Mall as police broke up a fight and subdued a suspected shoplifter with a Taser.
"Next thing you know, other cops start running the other way. It was crazy. There was something over here and, I don't know, it was just so much," said Gloria Lira, who was shopping and witnessed the incident..
Mall spokesman Chad Hastings said the incident in the mall was handled swiftly by in-house security and the Mesquite Police Department. While some witnesses reported hearing gunshots, Hastings denied that, saying that sound was furniture being thrown. It's not clear how the fight began.
He said the incident was handled wiftly and referred to it as a "small scuffle."
"Police responded immediately and took the perpetrators or individuals into custody and back to business as usual at Town East Mall.," Hastings said.
Lira recorded one incident with her cell-phone as police detained a shoplifting suspect. In the two minute video, police order the suspect to put his hands behind him. The sound of a Taser being used is also audible.
Everything transpired around 2 a.m. By 5 a.m. Friday morning, things appeared to be back to normal. There were no reports of serious injuries. It's unclear exactly how many people were detained –– Mesquite police have yet to comment.
"Everybody was scared; I was too," Lira recalled. "Suddenly you just start seeing a stampede of people saying, oh they have guns- get away-they're about to shoot, and this and that."

Ling's career spans the globe as she searches for perspective in human drama
Thursday, November 29, 2012
"Travel if you can. See the world while you're young. It's a game changer."
The third speaker in Lesley University's Boston Speakers Series, Lisa Ling has spent a career traveling the world, and challenging her perspective - and her viewers - through the human stories in and around world events.
Ling is currently executive producer and host of Our America with Lisa Ling on OWN: the Oprah Winfrey Network, and began as a correspondent for Channel One News where she covered the civil war in Afghanistan at the age of 21.
She recalled images landing at the airport, seeing young boys wielding weapons "bigger than they were." She told of traveling to North Korea with a doctor performing cataract surgeries, and watching patients who'd lived with impaired vision for decades remove their bandages to thank a picture of "Dear Leader" Kim Jong Il rather than the doctor who'd restored their vision. She traveled to China to explore the impacts of the "one child one family" edict that led to thousands of baby girls being abandoned or given up for adoption.
In recalling stories she's covered in America and across the globe, Ling addressed facing each issue knowing she was wearing "American style glasses," and finding the issues were never black and white. And sometimes the answers to hard questions were astonishingly simple.
In exploring China's "one child" policy, for example, giving up daughters in order to have a son was both painful and practical. "'If we have a daughter,' they said, she will marry and leave us,'" Ling said. "But if they had a son, he would marry and have children and stay with the family. The answer was so simple, and it was an example of needing to remove my 'American style glasses' to really see the story."
Ling's career has spanned the inaugural season of ABC's The View, which she left in order to return to international reporting, and roles as a correspondent for The Oprah Winfry Show, CNN's Planet in Peril series, and contributing editor for USA Today's USA Weekend magazine. Her current show, Our America with Lisa Ling, airs on the Oprah Winfrey Network.
She is the co-author of Mother, Daughter, Sister, Bride: Rituals of Womanhood and Somewhere Inside: One Sister's Captivity in North Korea and the Other's Fight to Bring Her Home, which she penned with her sister, Laura.

Creating a Customer Gallery
I hope I'm posting this question in the correct place.
I have a website that I designed for a client a couple of years ago. It is an e-commerce site that sells racing car parts. One section of the site is a "Customer Gallery". The way I have the site set up right now is - I have a form that customers can fill out and they can submit up to three photos. The results of this form come to me and I upload the results to the "Customer Gallery" section of the site.
They have gotten a pretty good response to this and have almost 200 entries placed over 16 pages (this did not happen overnight, we've been accepting entries for over a year). Here is a link to the first page (you can scroll to the bottom of the page and jump to other pages): http://www.alkydigger.net/customergallery001.php
Here is the issue -
They are not happy with the layout and the jump menu to move from page to page. I'm looking for ideas on different ways to lay this out for them and different paging options. One thing that is important to them is that the newest entries come first.
Any ideas??

I would:
1/ Remove the upload form from page 1 of the pagination and have a seperate link to it.
2/ Have the gallery start page display one thumbnail of all the different cars with a link to that car.
This means people do not have to wade through every page to find the car they want.
3/ Use a pagination system that alows for next and previous
Sorting in date order is straight forward; the method depends on what you now about the image.
Either the upload date on the photo or the date it was input into the database - if you saved that.

A west suburban man was charged Wednesday with leaving a message with a Cook County prosecutors threatening the judge who sentenced him.
Alexander Wood, 25, of the 900 block of Oakland Lane in Aurora was charged with one felony count of threatening a judge, according to the Cook County Sheriff's office.
Wood is accused of leaving a voicemail on a public defender's courthouse phone indicating he wished for the "death and destruction" of the judge who presided over his case, police said.
On the message, Wood allegedly said he wanted to take revenge on the judge, police said.
The sheriff's Judicial Security Unit learned the call came from a cell phone belonging to Wood, who was sentenced to 18 months probation in October 2011 for making phone threats to a corporation, police said.
Wood, a computer programmer, was arrested at his workplace in Chicago.
Police said Wood, who has also been living in extended-stay hotels, is scheduled to appear in bond court Thursday.

To be perfectly honest I was very apprehensive about sailing on such a little ship for 36 days, but we are so glad we did, we just loved it because of the size, 200 passengers, you meet people easier, the crew got to know you and greet youn by name...and after 36 days there were hugs among the passengers and crew....we could have stayed on another 36 days.
Don't get me stared about the food. Please don't go there with the bread sticks, one is never enough Kurt did some amazing dishes, vension, veal beef wellington...scallops and other fish dishes..desserts to pretty to eat,and wonderful cheese plates. The best burgers afloat and french fries. The wine flowed no question, once the staffed discovered what you liked it was there ready for you! An the Club pre dinner cocktails an hor'dourves different each night...I loved the sausages in puff pastry! Only one complaint in food was the horrid coffee...the coffee machines need replacing!
It was all the little details that we shall remember, Pop-corn at Trivia, after some of the longer tours we were welcomed back dock side with cool towels, champagne & hor'dourves..and a lot of the staff...they work so hard to make our cruise the best it could be...were there any problems...just minor...our toilet was a problem 4 times, BUT the problem was addresses within 10 minutes! No major deal. The towels were a bit shabby, and since the Pride is an older ship she needs some re-fit, dings on the furniture, some spots on the carpets. The really big problem for a long cruise was the tiny laundry room with 2 washers and driers, one dryer did not dry the clothes after 1 hour 45 minutes! had to hang everything in the cabin to dry and 1 unstable ironing board but you did meet all the other passengers!....BUT over all the staff made such a huge difference...one lunch time in the Restauant 2 Veranda buffet a fellow passenger became ill...the wait staff jumped in immediately to assist the gentleman...they were caring and concerned and took charge...I was amazed at how professional they were in the situation.
We went to some amazing ports in India, Oman, UAE, Egypt and Israel..what an experience. For those of you that are afraid of the Pirates...well we were well protected and sailed in a convoy...never felt any problems, even in Egypt we had security on the buses.
All said and done we are now Seaborne passengers, next time on one of the bigger Seaborne ships...
What you might not like, if you need to be constantly entertained then this pace might not be for you, tho I thought Jan and her staff were amazing, enough for me to do!...if you like stiff formality, maybe this is not for you.
But if you want to meet other well traveled interesting passengers and come away as part of a family, well give it a try....unless of course you do not like your family...well that of course is another matter!

Danielle Dotzenrod is the co-owner of Dotzy's Restaurant and Saloon in Elgin.
When she was 16 she won a modeling contest and represented the U.S. abroad. She's spent the last 13 years living in Los Angeles, California singing and acting and doing other jobs in the entertainment industry.
Dotzenrod just came back home to Iowa and opened her new business with her boyfriend, Chris Bunch.
"My heart was always in Iowa. So it's good to be back," said Dotzenrod.
Just more than two months in to running the business, Dotzenrod said so far so good, despite not having run a restaurant before.
"No complaints. I tell everybody my only complaint is we're exhausted. So things are good," said Danielle Dotzenrod.
Business is going so well, plans are already in the works to add another dining room in time for the holidays.
Nearly everything in the restaurant is recycled. The walls are from an old barn, the light fixtures are mason jars and the floor is pennies. The name Dotzy's is a family nickname, and Dotzenrod picked Elgin because her sister lives there.
"We feel really needed here. We feel really wanted, really supported, and I just can't say enough good things about the people of Elgin," said Dotzenrod.
The 1997 South Winneshiek graduate hopes her business venture encourages other young people to invest back in Iowa.
"It's just an example of a small town that has a lot going on. It just takes young people in these small communities to get excited and pour their heart into something," said Dotzenrod.
She said she does miss the weather in LA, but she doesn't miss the traffic. Danielle Dotzenrod is happy to be back living the country life.

The Washington State Liquor Control Board (WSLCB) will file the necessary CR103 for Initiative 502 later this week. Filing the CR103 is the formal procedure for adoption of the proposed rules for the implementation of I-502 and the final step in the rulemaking process.
These rules will serve as the basis for Washington's newly created recreational marijuana market and are the result of 10 months of research and public input. Thirty days after adoption the rules will become effective, November 16.
"Over these last several months have put together a comprehensive system of rules which will serve as the foundation for this new industry," said Board Chair Sharon Foster. "This has been a very open process of rule-making with public involvement each strep of the way. We appreciate all the support and involvement we've had from Gov. Inslee, local officials, law enforcement, industry members and Washington citizens along the way."
The rules achieve the board's stated goal of implementing a tightly regulated and controlled recreational marijuana market. They also align with the Department of Justice's stated areas of concern by addressing out-of-state diversion of product, traceability of product from start to sale, youth access and other public and consumer safety concerns.
Later this month, to align with federal guidelines, agency staff will file emergency rulemaking to modify the way the 1,000 foot distance between marijuana locations and the listed exclusion zones is measured. The method of measuring will change from "most common path of travel" to "shortest straight line" from property line to property line.
The agency will open a 30-day licensing window for all three license types (marijuana producer, processor and retailer) on November 18.
The WSLCB's Marijuana Licensing Unit will hold a series of educational seminars across the state to help potential applicants navigate the licensing process.

Man killed on El Camino by hit-and-run driver

All along El Camino Real between Shoreline and Ringstorff Avenue and points in between there are countless jaywalkers crossing El Camino Real. The major problem is between Escuela and Miraposa. These [portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff] people do not care about the traffic law or their own life's They run and sometimes just walk across El Camino without a care of the traffic. This problem is a failure of the Mountain View Police Department of not enforcing the jaywalking law. Mountain View could also help by putting a fence down the middle of El Camino Real to help to stop this problem.

Try and use a crosswalk on El Camino. Cars won't stop for nothing on that road.

Always cross at a light, even if it means walking a bit further.

Talking to children about the local school threats, the explosions in Boston - and now the possibility of a deadly substance being sent to a Senator's office, is not the easiest task.
It's become even more of a difficulty in this age of instant pictures posted to places like Facebook and Twitter. Especially when almost every other kid over ten is walking around with a smart phone or tablet lately.
However, some psychiatrists recommend restricting the amount of material kids are exposed to in times like these.
"We really just hate to turn on the news anymore," said Elkhart resident Laurie Eppers about all the tragedies lately.
Eppers isn't the only one who tries to avoid bad news, with all the tragedies over the last year many families say they find it hard to cope with what they are seeing on television. Especially families with young kids.
However, psychiatrists say regardless of what parents might do to block their kids from news, odds are they will learn what's going on in the world with all the technology they have available. Dr. Suhayl Nasr from the Memorial Epworth Center says it's best to be ready to talk to them about it.
"Just make comments like what do you think? Or how do you feel about this? What's your reaction? Did you see this and what do you think about it? So that [children] can neutralize the emotions by talking about them," said Dr. Nasr.
Elkhart resident Sarah Robinson has a daughter who is only five years old, so she tries to keep her away from as much bad news as possible. Though she does say she is always prepared to talk if something gets brought up.
"I try and tell her the truth and try and talk to her about it and get her to understand," said Robinson. "But also let her know it's not something that's okay to do because the world is crazy right now."
Dr. Nasr says some children will move on from tragedies much easier than others. He believes parents should make sure their child is at ease before just dropping the topic.
"Me and my husband we both try and find some of the good in some of the stuff," said Mindy Replogle.
Dr. Nasr says taking that approach can be helpful. For example talk to your kids about the people who reached out to help during the tragedy. Clearly something many are trying to do as a Mr. Rogers quote about "Looking for the helpers" went viral in the hours after the tragedy.
"There's a lot of good things that happen every day and there's a lot of safe days," said Dr. Nasr. "There's a lot more safe days then there are of these bad days."
Dr. Nasr added after a child feels comfortable with what's happened in a tragedy, it's then important to distance them from continuing to follow it to avoid any more worries.
Experts say adults who are having trouble dealing with these events should stick to their normal routines and avoid making any major life decisions.

Astronomers and stargazers will get a last chance to glimpse a rare astronomical event known as the transit of Venus starting Tuesday.The phenomenon, which occurs when Venus's orbit brings the planet between Earth and the sun, takes place roughly twice a century -- the last transit was on June 8, 2004 -- and will not happen again until 2117.Unlike in a solar eclipse, in which the moon temporarily obscures the sun, Venus will appear as a small black dot passing across the sun in the daytime sky. Spectators are advised to wear special solar eyeglasses, or dark, polarized lenses such as welder's glasses, to prevent eye damage.
Click here to learn more about Wayne State's viewing partyRichard Vondrak, deputy director of Solar System Exploration at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said studying the event is "important in understanding our place in space." The transit of Venus was critical to the determination of Earth's distance from the sun, and thus the size of the solar system, Vondrak said. In the late 19th century, scientists finally ascertained the distance based on data from several transits, after a mathematician first proposed observing the transits back in 1663.Viewers on the East Coast of the US can watch the transit of Venus with their protective glasses from 6:00pm ET until sunset, Vondrak said. Alaska and Hawaii are the only two states from which it will be possible to view the full transit.-It can be viewed from most parts of the world, but not from Portugal or from big swaths of Spain, South America and Africa. From many parts of Europe, people will be able to view the latter part of the 6 1/2-hour transit after sunrise.Vondrak said people can watch the transit without special glasses by tuning in to NASA's live webcast of the event from Mauna Kea, Hawaii, starting at 5:45pm ET.SOURCE LINK: http://online.wsj.com/

Spotlight - Solar
Researchers at UMaine's Laboratory for Surface Science and Technology (LASST) are investigating the potential of nanoparticles to better harness the energy of the sun. Currently, solar panels typically capture only a fraction of the energy that potentially could be used because only certain wavelengths of the sun are utilized.
LASST Director Robert Lad is working with electrical and computer engineering professor Rosemary Smith and UMaine materials physicist Robert Meulenberg to study ways of making solar panels capture that wasted energy.
The research focuses on the creation of thin film coatings that fluoresce at different wavelengths. In solar panels, these thin films could increase the number of wavelengths captured from the sun, resulting in more energy production.
The research will lead to better understanding of how a nanoscale particle's size, shape and surface affect the overall properties of a semiconductor. Solar panels are essentially large semiconductors because they directly convert light energy into electricity.
The UMaine researchers are collaborating with Ascendant Energy Co., in Rockland, Maine, which is designing a solar panel system for the newly remodeled Wells Dining Center on campus. By the end of this year, the technology is expected to provide electricity and hot water for a portion of the facility.
This past spring, Ascendant Energy received more than $575,000 from MTAF to help establish a Solar Center for Excellence: Advanced Photovoltaic Production Facility in Rockland. The university is a partner in the project, with a focus on technology transfer.

Scott McClellan – Editor of Echo Hub and the Director of Echo Conference
"Creative Theology is a resonating piece of work. Sam poignantly illuminates the tensions that face creatives and the Church. This is a great book for any creative team, artist, or communicator."
Chad Jarnagin – Worship Arts Pastor of Rolling Hills Community Church in Franklin, TN, creator of the Luminous Project.
"This is more than a book – it's a journey through art, creativity, and the story of God. Not only will Creative Theology bring greater meaning to the work of the artist, but it will inspire and reawaken the inner artist of those who've forgotten that they've been created in the image of the great Creator."
Scott Hodge – Pastor of Orchard Community in Aurora, IL
"It is beautiful. I love the writing, the design… everything!"
Paul Stewart – Lead pastor of The Gateway Church in Des Moines, IA
"I can't tell you how much I loved Creative Theology. I read all three sections in one sitting and have gone back several times to read through each part. Sam is encouraging and helpful in his writing but also gives these glimpses of 'what might be' which got my heart racing. This is a beautiful book in every sense of the word."
Chris Vacher – Director of Worship at Orangeville Baptist Church, founder of WorshipRises
"In the future, books will be a collision of content and art. Thanks to Sam Mahlstadt, the future is here. In this book, he helps us see the divine origination of creativity in the most beautiful format you could imagine."
Ben Arment – Founder of the STORY conference and Dream Year, author of Church in the Making
"…this book is sure to help the reader regain confidence in living out who the Creator called us to be."
Perry Ross, Worship Director at Lutheran Church of Hope in West Des Moines, IA
"Creative Theology is an artful masterpiece. From its beautiful design elements to its poignant message, you will walk away inspired and challenged to embrace your divine creativity."
Alece Ronzino, communications coach for non-profits and founder of One Word 365
"The design – beautiful and creative.
The content – felt like I was dropped into the Garden.
Takeaway – I'm inspired to go create something."
Gary Molander – Founder of Floodgate Productions, author of Pursuing Christ. Creating Art.

Top Teachers: Philip Riddle
Brookland M.S., sixth grade
As a child, Philip Riddle noticed that many of the adults he knew spoke of work as if it were a burden.
At the same time, he noticed that many of his teachers relished their jobs – radiating joy in the way that they interacted with students, presented subject matter and provided extra help to those who needed it.
"I just could not imagine waking up every day to go to a job that I did not find joy in," Riddle recalled. "I knew that if I was going to devote a career to something, it had to be something I was passionate about.
"And I learned very early on that it was easy to be passionate about teaching."
Today, parents at Brookland Middle School have noticed that Riddle radiates that same joy with his sixth-graders. They cited his contagious, "extremely happy, pleasant-to-have-around" nature, the "can-do" spirit he encourages in his students and the fairness and integrity he models in the classroom.
One student was so taken by Riddle's fresh, open style that he came home from his first day of school and announced his plans to become a history professor.
But parents add that career choices are not all that Riddle has inspired. He challenges students to become lifelong learners and to make a difference in the world through leadership and service to the community.
Knowing that most of his students will not go on to careers in social studies, Riddle works hard to present the curriculum in a way that engages every student – whether by having the students read together and pose questions, or by sharing stories and interactive sites that will intrigue them.
"A certain percentage of students just love social studies and would look forward to my class even if I just stood up and lectured every day," Riddle acknowledged.
"But all students deserve a better experience than that. Lessons that are engaging challenge students to think critically . . . [and help them] draw connections between what has happened in the past and what is taking place in their world."
As rewarding as classroom teaching may be, however, Riddle said that the most meaningful parts of his day are moments in which he can talk to students one on one. Not only, he said, do these times allow for individualized feedback and instruction, but they also give students a chance to talk about concerns outside of the classroom.
"Students need to know that your priority is them," said Riddle. "And I cannot confine that concern only to what happens in the classroom."
Unfortunately, busy school-day schedules make it difficult to provide enough valuable one-on-one time, and even the best, most passionate teachers can't do it all themselves. A supportive community is crucial to a good school system, believes Riddle, who noted that citizens who volunteer their time and resources are always welcome.
After all, he said, "A world class education for all students provides benefits for everyone – not just the children who attend our schools."

Philippines ambassador to the US visits Filipino Festival in Henrico
The Ambassador of the Philippines to the United States Jose L. Cuisia, Jr. attended the Ninth Annual Filipino Festival at Our Lady of Lourdes Church earlier this month. Cuisia (pictured above with festival performers) was welcomed by County Manager John Vithoulkas and Brookland District Supervisor Dick Glover (below) at the church, which is located in Lakeside.

'Planes' sequel crashes
'Fire and Rescue' proves too predictable, boring
Planes: Fire and Rescue opens with a dedication to the hero firefighters of the world. It's an admirable notion, and it makes sense, given that this is a film about planes that fight fires.
But here it might be a little out of place, as Planes: Fire and Rescue has a few things on its mind besides supporting the men and women who routinely throw themselves into burning buildings.
Like money. Lots and lots of money – into the 11-figures-and-counting range. In case you weren't aware, 2006's Cars was the biggest moneymaker Disney had in decades – not because of how much green the film printed at the box office, but because a combination of toys, games and snack foods stamped with the Cars seal of approval routinely pulls in tens of billions of dollars per year. > Read more.

Funding opportunities
A functional assessment of metabolic reconstruction in human embryonic stem cells
Funding Type:
SEED Grant
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$577 164
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
The specific goal of this proposal is to construct a data-driven mathematical model of human embryonic stem cells so that we can make predictions about how best to optimize self-renewal and differentiation. Long-term self-renewal is a property shared only by stem cells. Self-renewal is the ability to grow robustly without differentiating or mutating. Human embryonic stem cell (hES cell) lines differ dramatically in their potential for self-renewal. We will compare federally-approved hES cell lines that have poor self-renewal with newer, non-approved lines that are robust. The data from these comparisons will be entered into our mathematical model of hES cells and used to make predictions about the genetic differences between approved and non-approved lines that explain the discrepancies in their performance, and to predict changes in the growth conditions that improve self-renewal for any given hES cell line. We will compare undifferentiated, self-renewing hES cells to their progeny during and after the process of differentiation. The data from these comparisons will be entered into our mathematical model of hES cells and used to make predictions about genetic differences or conditions of growth that enable the early and terminal stages of differentiation. We will examine in detail the proteins that mediate metabolism in hES cells and predict which proteins and their substrates within the cells or in the growth media determine self-renewal and differentiation. As part of this detailed examination we will isolate the metabolic engines of hES cells, mitochondria and peroxisomes, and compare the changes in proteins and metabolites that occur in them during self-renewal or differentiation. The product of this project will be a computer model that any investigator can download and use to: guide their creation of hES cell lines; develop hES cell growth conditions; or produce differentiated tissues from hES cells for regenerative medicine.
Statement of Benefit to California:
California will benefit from funding this grant because it will accelerate the progress of many, if not all, research projects on hES cells. Our data-driven model of hES cells could be the basis for new biotechnology companies or it could be broadly licensed to enable all companies to accelerate their development of cell-based therapies.
Review Summary:
SYNOPSIS: The goal is to construct the metabolic and signaling networks of mitochondria and peroxisomes in hESCs using a data-driven mathematical model of hES cells to facilitate predictions about optimizing self-renewal and differentiation, especially in regard to the anaerobic to aerobic shift. The strategy is to characterize isolated mitochondria and peroxisomes via proteomic profiles, including unmodified and phosphorylated proteins and correlate with measurements of substrate uptake and product secretion. Profiles of mRNAs and proteins of intact hES cells will confirm observations from isolated organelles and extend the analysis to extra-organellar proteins. Changes during differentiation to EBs and committed lineages will be determined. The first goal is to develop a proteomic definition of whole cells, mitochondria and peroxisomes. The second goal is to characterize metabolic flux by measurement of core-metabolism uptake, secretion fluxes and microarray transcript profiles to incorporate into the in-silico model. SIGNIFICANCE AND INNOVATION: The question of metabolism is widely ignored. A comprehensive overview of human stem cell metabolism, the changes that occur upon commitment to separate differentiation programs, and the final differences with mature cells in situ could be exceedingly valuable and have a high impact on the field. The great potential innovation in this application is the marriage of the expertise of the PI, and his recent construction of a comprehensive analysis of human ES cell metabolism. STRENGTHS: The PI's expertise and the state of the art proteomics, genomics and metabolic mapping are critical strengths. The creation of RECON 1, the reconstruction of the global human metabolic network from the human genome and comprehensive literature analysis, is a tour de force. The PI is an expert in genomic and proteomic analysis of plants and has recently applied this expertise to examine the human metabolic network by integrating gene expression data, proteomics, and metabolic analyses. The results of simulations, though not given for review, indicate that the in-silico network accurately reflects many metabolic functions. WEAKNESSES: If sufficient amounts of a homogeneous undifferentiated hESC population can be obtained and confirmed, then this expert group will discover which major energy metabolic paths are operational, but it is not clear how that information will help. Also unclear is how the analysis of embryoid bodies with a broad collection of differentiated and partly differentiated cell types can be a useful comparison with the singular undifferentiated state of a hES cell line. A huge amount of work is proposed, and an experimental plan is generally lacking. For example, as implied in the abstract, the analysis of homogeneous differentiated (committed) cells derived in-vitro would indeed be an ideal solution, but no information is presented concerning which committed lineages will be examined and how they would be generated. The lack of a clear description of applications directly related to data acquisition, methodology and relevance to human ES cell biology suggests that this was viewed as an opportunity to obtain data about an interesting cell without a clear indication of how this information can be applied to important questions of hES cell biology. Several other minor weaknesses are found in this proposal. First, Dr. Karl Willert, who directs the UCSD Human Stem Cell Core Facility, will consult and make available the equipment of the Core, but no preliminary data is presented and no group members have experience with ES cells. Second, this study could be done equally with approved and nonapproved human lines. Third, an independent evaluation of the RECON1 model was unavailable. DISCUSSION: This proposal aims to study metabolism as hESCs differentiate. The goal of the work is to construct metabolism and signaling networks in mitochondria and peroxisomes, and a mathematical model is sought for understanding differentiation as it relates to anaerobic shift. This applicant is from an established National Academy of Sciences member working with plant genomes and networks. He is a real leader in the field of cell metabolism, which makes this group better qualified than any other to undertake the proposed studies. It is desirable to recruit a biophysicist of this stature to work in the field; however, there is substantial naivety reflected in what it takes to work in hESC. mESC might be more tractable. The proposal could benefit from a more limited scope as reviewers don't see how the work could be accomplished in 2 years. The experimental plan is largely missing, and a number of blind alleys exist. There is an excessive use of jargon regarding metabolic networks, and there is nothing in the grant about the nature of the cells, the differentiation of embryoid bodies, or how to manipulate the cells. It is unclear if the applicant will be able to get cell populations of sufficient homogeneity to get meaningful data - EBs are unlikely to be such a homogenous population. Reviewers generally agreed that this is important work in a largely unexplored area that should be done once a better proposal is developed, and the addition of a full time ES cell lab would benefit this proposal.

I've never done this before, but this advert is so well done I just had to share it. The art direction is excellent. There is no dialogue to clutter it up and all the emotion is told through the child or perhaps a small person's gestures. (In the close ups they appear to be children's hands). Very economical.
Since I teach script storyboard and animatic, I'd use this as a fine example of economical story telling! (I'm not into cars, so I've no idea what sort of car it is. But I suppose the advert has achieved its aim because I'm talking about it).

CATEGORIES HorrorI grew up on three major horror franchises. Friday the 13th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, and Puppet Master. While Jason and Freddy were all well and good, Puppet Master, at least the first three in the series, had an odd appeal about them that somehow hooked me in. Although technically wicked in the first two installments, the puppets can be considered good in their own weird way as the third film, which is considered a prequel, features the magically-charmed puppets killing Nazis for revenge. As the series progressed, the puppets were more or less the good guys, killing demons and serving as protectors. After a reboot, two more sequels, and even a film not considered to be part of the Puppet Master canon, Full Moon Features finally has a release date for the tenth installment, called Puppet Master: Axis of Evil.
As Arrow in the Head reports, the film will be released on June 15th and will be directed by the man who brought us Puppet Master III: Toulon's Revenge almost twenty years ago. The plot more or less picks up where part three left off, and features the puppets - Blade, Leech Woman, Pinhead, Jester, Tunneler and more - wreaking havoc on the "Axis of Evil." The film stars Levi Fiehler, Jenna Gallaher, Taylor M. Graham, Tom Sandoval and Jerry Hoffman, and is written by Charles Band, the man behind the franchise.
If you have no interest in this I will just presume you're crazy and be on my merry way. But before you write it off, watch the trailer, which can be found after the cut. I must echo the sentiments of Arrow when he says it looks to be very much in the same vein as the original three films, and even includes the theme song, a beautiful and sinister sounding waltz that is absolutely perfect for the puppets' almost child-like nature. Part three was the first Puppet Master film that I really dug, so Axis of Evil picking up where it left off makes me just want to crap myself in excitement.

This stately Colonial home is a tribute to the beautiful things that can happen when the builder's 50-year-old home is completely upgraded, remodeled and re-imagined for the 21st century.
The 11-room home is situated on a lovely street in one of Wenham's most desirable neighborhoods — close to the parks, jogging paths, and quaint village shops that make Wenham a picture-perfect New England town. The paved stone pathway and plantings that welcome you to the home bespeak that it's a place of both Yankee pluck and genteel country living.
"The location of the home is ideal," said listing agent Peggy McNamara of Keller Williams Realty of Beverly. "It's a wonderful neighborhood of well-established homes and in this case, the home has been completely redone so it really has that brand-new feeling."
The first-floor living space comprises the oversized family room, the living room, and the dining room. The living and dining rooms each feature thoughtfully-designed fireplaces to add just the right ambiance whether the plan is for a simple family night at home or a large-scale holiday party. A combination of gleaming, highest quality hardwood floors and plush wall-to-wall carpeting through the house make for easy maintenance and homey luxury.
The kitchen, with its top-grade appliances, endless counter and cabinet space, and marvelous center island, will inspire those who can't boil water to learn and those who can, to expand their repertoire. The center island's additional sink is a welcome luxury for the home gourmet and the space is ideal for homework by day and dinner party buffet headquarters by night. The kitchen's spacious eat-in area overlooks the home's resort-style heated swimming pool. A bedroom that is currently being used as an office and a powder room complete this level.

Eagles Stay Perfect in the A-Sun with 8-2 Win over Ospreys
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Florida Gulf Coast University baseball team completed a three game sweep over the University of North Florida on Sunday at Harmon Stadium. Tim Roberson and Brad Roberts each had two home runs, and four RBI to lead the Eagles to their sixth straight victory over an A-Sun opponent.
The Eagles improve to 12-6 (6-0 A-Sun), and the Ospreys fall to 6-12 (1-5 A-Sun). This marks the second three game sweep for the Eagles over an A-Sun opponent.
The Eagles started where they left off, putting up three runs in the top of the first. With two outs, Tim Roberson (West Palm Beach, Fla.) singled to right field. Mikel Alvarez (West Palm Beach, Fla.) reached on an Osprey error to bring up Brad Roberts (Tampa, Fla.). With a 2-2 count Roberts connected and homered to left field to give the Eagles the early lead.
Brad Roberts added to the Eagles lead with a solo home run to right center in the third to increase the Eagles lead to 4-0.
The Eagles would add to their lead in the fifth on another solo home run, this one by the third baseman Tim Roberson. Roberson's left center shot was his sixth of the season.
The Ospreys finally got on the board in the fifth on a two run home run by Sam Perry, his second of the three game series.
In the sixth, Stephen Wickens (Whitby, Ontario) drew a one out walk followed by a bunt single by Josh Upchurch (Cape Coral, Fla.) to bring up Roberson. Roberson drove his seventh home run of the season over the right center wall to increase the Eagles lead to 8-2.
Sophomore Richie Erath (West Palm Beach, Fla.) started for the Eagles, going five full innings, allowed three hits, no earned runs, and struck out one Osprey to improve his record to 2-1. Jacksonville native, Trent Landa (Jacksonville, Fla.) threw 2.2 innings in relief, and gave up just one hit with one strike out. Senior Nick Ursitti (Lehigh Acres, Fla.) finished the last 1.1 innings and only allowed one hit.
Once again the Eagles offense put up double digits in the hits column with 10 today. The Eagles were led by Tim Roberson who went 3-for-5 with two home runs and four RBI, and Brad Roberts who also had two home runs, going 3-for-5 with four RBI.
The Eagles will be back in action on Friday, March 20th at 7:00 p.m. as they host Jacksonville University for a three game series. Game two will be on Saturday at 7:00 p.m., and game three will be on Sunday at 1:00 p.m.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) -- A big first for Danica Patrick, but an even bigger second for Jimmie Johnson.
Patrick made history up front at the Daytona 500 Sunday, only to see Johnson make a late push ahead of her and reclaim his spot at the top of his sport.
It was the second Daytona 500 victory for Johnson, a five-time NASCAR champion who first won "The Great American Race" in 2006.
"There is no other way to start the season than to win the Daytona 500. I'm a very lucky man to have won it twice," said Johnson, who won in his 400th career start. "I'm very honored to be on that trophy with all the greats that have ever been in our sport."
It comes a year after Johnson completed only one lap in the race because of a wreck that also collected Patrick, and just three months after Johnson lost his bid for a sixth Sprint Cup title to go two years without a championship after winning five straight.

Happy MMXI everybody! (I like it as a Roman Numeral this year, don't you? It sounds like something that can slip so easily into raps or other forms of spoken word entertainment) Of course, with a new year comes resolutions – ways in which we resolutely improve ourselves, before two weeks later tucking into a McDonalds, smoking a cigaratte & drinking enough booze to sink the QE2.
This year though I want you to make these 4 blogging resolutions, they're a pice of cake to keep. In fact with the exception of one, you'll probably be done by January the 4th.
- Trim Fat (from your Blog) - Running a blog over a long period of time can lead to junk being built up in the plugin folder. This can make your blog slow & can leave you open to attacks (though this is rare). Remove plugins you're not using on your site. Consolidate some of your plugins. For example: replace your SEO & XML Sitemap Plugins with Yoast's SEO Plugin, replace individual button plugins with Digg Digg.
- Travel (both online & offline) - In the olden days of blogging, most blogs were personal of nature or had a technological stand. Now there are a number of blogs of everything, with larger niches having loads (here's the top 100 blogs in the football niche according to the Guardian), and even tiny niches having a few authoritative voices. For the SEO/Web Niche, I'd recommend checking out State of Search, 3ac.co.uk, Holistic Search, Mike's Life amongst others. Also, one of the best things you can do as an SEOer is meet other SEOers at conferences & offline. It helped my career no end last year. Next year I'm attending SASCon & Think Visibility (both of which are paid), as well as attend a bunch of MancSEOs (which are free). Although conference round ups are posted online, you learn so much more in person!
- Stop Smoking (and burning yourself out) - One of the hardest things about blogging is keeping going. Unfortunately when people start blogging they think they have to blog every day. This is completely not manageable over the long term unless you have a team of writers. Plus you don't need to do this unless you have a huge audience. I'd recommend blogging at least once a week though, as well as building an email list to let people know when you update.
- Stop Drinking (other people's kool-aid, start doing) – Apologies for the use of the Americanism. Everybody (including myself) has an opionion with the way things work online, but the best thing you can do to begin with is stop reading, and start doing. Sure you can analyse the best way to tweet your latest blog post, or you can actually just tweet it & see what works. Very little online is irrecoverable, and even less is fatal. You can know as much as you can – but as Paddy Moogan posted on his blog – Knowing Everything Doesn't Mean Shit.
I'm sure you can think up of your own resolutions. Feel free to share them in the comments!

I must be missing something. Opa-Opa steakhouse and brewery??? Didn't notice that till I went to review this beer. I think a road trip is in order. Oh, yeah, the beer - solid reddish brown beer wiht a strong citric aroma and flavor profile. paired this up with a nice pasta dinner and garlic bread dinner. Yup, I'd have another one.

Beer review from BA Mag Nov 2007.
While the distribution offices are listed in Florida, the Opa-Opa brand started off as a brewpub in Southampton, MA, and now has distribution points in both Massachusetts, Florida and Connecticut with the help of contract brewing in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Frothy rocky sea foam head stays thick and afloat even after several sips. Superb head retention here. The appearance is of a very hazy orange-amber color which is most likely due to the hops and minimal filtering. Slightly pungent oily, juicy citric and wildflower hop aroma with some sweet malt in the back. Big on smoothness with a moderate carbonation and medium body. Hop bitterness takes over the palate right from the start with a pungent oiliness, flavors of grapefruit zest and raw pine sap come to mind. There is some malt character underneath the hops, toasted biscuit and animal-feed grain flavors come through middle to end. The hop flavor just does not want to let go, even the finish is a long drawn-out encore with a semisweetness that is mostly masked.
Its great to know there is another east coast IPA that can hold its own to any West Coast hop bomb. This is some old school craft beer here--drink and learn.

Pours a golden straw color, filtered obviously. Very small thin white head on the pour.
Fairly balanced aroma. A little grainy, husky malt flavor. A touch of grassy, herbal hopping, a touch english possibly. Fleeting hints of citrus hops.
Flavor has a good dose of malt, grainy and some biscuit. Hops hit after the swallow, again a little grassy and herbal. Finish is a bit earthy with hops and malts. Pretty balanced. Definately a decent malt backbone here, this isn't American two-row.
Lighter mouthfeel, inline with what is appropriate. A bit of crispness from teh carbonation, which unfortunetly never supported a nice head.
Easy enough to drink. Refreshing enough for me at the moment.

Appearance: a golden brown, medium to high head, fairly decent amount of carbonation
Smell: light grapefruit and some florals
Taste: light sweet melon and a bit of grapefruit
Mouthfeel: very smooth, a bit sweet for an IPA, and crisp in the finish
Drinkability: I could easily have a six of this. This is an excellent IPA if you do not like IPAs too bitter. I will be looking for this again

Clear pale orangey copper-colored, with an inch of fluffy orangey yellow meringue on top. Incredible retention. Streams of bubbles rise quickly from bottom to top.
Aroma of floral and citrus hops.
Flavor seems muted or not even present on the front of the tongue, and slowly builds as the beer flows through the mouth. Hops are mostly floral, not too big, mixed with some fading malt, finishing a bit piney. Some brown sugary malt emerges in the aftertaste.
Smooth and full mouthfeel, richness followed by carb tingles, very bubbly, sorta gassy. Fairly drinkable, but not overly hoppy and not very complex.

This beer pours a slightly cloudy golden yellow color with a thin off white head. The head fades slowly, leaving a slight lace.
This beer has a floral hop aroma. Very subtle. It has a slight grassy aroma. Some lemony citrus aroma is also present.
This beer tastes citrusy. Some lemon mixes in with some grass. This beer tastes floral. As with the aroma, the taste is very subtle.
This beer is crisp, and refreshing. It goes down easy, leaving a floral aftertaste.
This beer would probably make a good session beer. Not to high in alcohol, and a nice mild flavor.
Overall: Thanks go out to BuckeyeNation for giving me the chance to try this one. This beer was pretty good. Nothing life changing, but a good solid IPA.

a slightly hazy, golden amber with a rather thick and creamy head that dissiptes slowly and leaves plenty of sticky foam behind.
This is a very herbal and earthy scented IPA, not fruity at all, This one is all herbal, earthy hop and amild buttery malt.
The flavor is the same, This is not a fruity, or floral IPA...were talking Herbal, earthy, hardy, good balance of malt. Me like!
This ia medium mouth feel, very crisp with a nice bite on the tongue.
highly drinkable IPA.

Pours a slightly cloudy light orange with a medium white foamy head,alittle light colored though. Decent head with decent lacing. The smell is nice with a strong scent of bread yeast and citrus hops. The taste is crisp with some hop bitterness and then citrus flavors. Not bad,along with a very strong bread yeast flavor this is a first class IPA. The m/f is light with the flavors mixing well. A good solid beer that you should try.

Poured into a New Belgium globe
A - The appearance is pretty much standard for an IPA. Pours a nice amber color with a bit of foamy white head. Nice lacing along the glass.
S - Citrus notes upfront (grapefruit) with a sweet malt background. Once again, pretty standard for the style but still good.
T - Hops up front with the citrus notes leading the way. The malt sweetness really comes through leaving barely any bitterness. The bottle is about 4 months old so that could possibly be why.
M - Body on the lighter side with good carbonation. Nice and smooth on the way down.
D - I wouldn't mind trying this one again when it is nice and fresh. Not bad as is, just nothing that really stands out.

3.08/5 rDev -14%
A: clouded yellowish gold with caramel edges. The top consisted of foam and fizz that disappeared very fast and left one skinny strip of lace with a few blasts of speckles. Reminds me of a deeper tinged Hefeweizen
S: lemons, tea leaves, and floral notes. Not very pungent, even for minimal standard IPA's. A little more hop shock in the nose would be nice
T: strongest presence is managed by citrus lemony grapefruit hops with big herbal tea flavors. The back end is sort of awry with a artificial sugary lemon flavor. I can also pull out some soft pine notes that cut through. Pale malt profile holds very light biscuity character
M: a solid body profile in the medium category. Comes off creamy at times otherwise it remains smooth
D: I dare to say this bottle was not very fresh...at all. I could see this brew making a good stand in the IPA category, but for now I pass

This was a handfilled unpasterized bottle, courtesy of the brewers. It pured a foamy and slightly amber colour. C hop aroma. Good bitterness and satisfying finish. Very drinkable IPA. Fruity citrus, piney resiny. A bit high on carbonation.
Had this on cask as well and the grapefruit flavour came out. It was a top cask, a 4 plus.

pours into pint glass darker than most ipa's a golden brown hue. head forms nicely and lingers on top for a while. has a floral/citrus aroma at 1st then the carmel malt seems to cut through. A well balanced pale ale, doesn't seem hoppy enough to be considered an IPA, however the bitterness creeps through the malts as it's very subtle. Very drinkable i'd pair with seafood, especially if you're at a raw bar!

Antihypertensive combinations
A drug may be classified by the chemical type of the active ingredient or by the way it is used to treat a particular condition. Each drug can be classified into one or more drug classes.
Antihypertensive combinations have agents that control blood pressure. One pill or dose form contains more than one class of drug, which is indicated to treat hypertension. Having a combination of drugs in one pill may better control hypertension by improving compliance.

The Herald Bulletin
---- — I can still remember the dark, warm, rainy night and the anxious feeling I had when I realized the step I took could prove to be disastrous. It was not so much the fear for me but the two people who were clinging to my arms. I could sense their fear of not making it to their destinations unharmed.
No, this is not an excerpt from a paperback novel or anything to do with combat in an overseas war. It's about an incident that followed watching a delightful play at the downtown Mainstage Theatre. As we left the side door of the theater, in the pitch dark alley adjacent to the building it was apparent that the two elderly seniors, holding on to me, were worried of tripping or falling on the pavement which could have resulted in broken bones. Why? Because there was not adequate lighting. I inquired if anyone talked with the city regarding the issue and was told yes, many times.
I realize the installation of yet another outdoor light would be costly; however, look at it this way, if more seniors felt safer in going downtown they would more likely do so. Say, for instance, they felt safe enough to go downtown and eat out, that would generate more business and therefore more sales tax. These taxes could be added to the TIF fund and increasing the quality of life for everyone.
Yes, there is an immediate cost and it may result in the mayor cutting his trip to Japan a day shorter. However, in the long run, the cost of an additional light would pay for itself, without any tax abatements or major infrastructure cost. It would greatly increase the quality of life for seniors. And at least give the illusion that someone cared.
