From notes. On tap at the Flying Saucer in Columbia. Literally the first batch of beer brewed on the new commercial equipment at the brewery. Cool.
A. Unfiltered, unpolished yellow bordering on copper. Light cap of white foam. No lace, but the head sticks around.
S / T. Smells earthy and ESB-like, but with a stab of American hops shooting through the beer. Flavor is pretty light and crisp with an English biscuit malt profile. Slight toastiness, vague light esters from the Belgian yeast. Unusual, and not bad, but doesn't really take flight if you get my drift.
M / O. Creamy mouthfeel, odd. Semi-dry finish, chalky. A most unusual take on the Pale Ale style. If this was homebrew, it'd rightfully go into the specialty beer category. Hard to score on any real objective level, so let's just give this marks off the cuff and look forward to the beers to come. Welcome to our state, Westbrook!

The pour was extremely nice. Rich and decadent looking with a nice dark amber color with a ton of orange highlights in it. Lightly cloudy with a good bit of carbonation visible on the inside of the glass bubbling up towards the surface. A rich head of maybe two inches then came up over the top and only settled down gradually before becoming a thick layer of foam across the top.
The aroma was heavenly. Rich notes of wet hops mixing in with a deep, biscuit like backing that only served to show it off even more. Lots of pine resin like aromas here, sticky, with an almost fresh, wet hopped like aroma making up the bulk of it. Some subtle sweetness as it began to warm. The flavor was smooth, super smooth with a nice medium body that bordered on being almost chewy at times. I was impressed with the carbonation as well as it never came across as dull in any way either. Started out with a quick bite of hop resin that slowly went over and faded into a nice bit of biscuit like malts. Rich with some nice hints of caramel and a long, drying finish that kept me going back for more of this very session able pale ale.
Overall I have to say that this was damn good. I really did not know what to expect of it going in, but I have to say it was well worth it. A little dark and resiny for a true pale ale, but this one will work for me any day of the week. Solid offering that will have me looking in their direction again.

On tap in a tulip. Hazy caramel body with a generous cap of creamy foam. An intricate network of frothy and sticky lacing is left behind.
Smells 'Belgo-esque' with clove and lemon complimenting light bready malt aromas. On the thicker side of medium-bodied, but the prickly carbonation and hearty dose of lemony hops keep the feel pretty nimble. Quite yeasty and spicy; cloves, coriander, white pepper and more elusive flavors come into play. A tasty beer, although I'm not convinced that APA is the correct style (and I'd score it higher as a Belgian pale ale).

Growler purchased from Charleston Beer Exchange in Charleston.
Pours a clear light copper color with a half-finger white head. The head recedes into a wispy layer on top leaving solid lacing.
Smells of pale malts with moderate amounts of citrus and slightly grassy hops. Also present are hints of light pears and slighter hints of indistinct spices.
Tastes similar to how it smells. Moderately dry pale malt flavors kick things off and are joined quickly by citrus and light herbal hops. Midway through the sip, subtle light fruit flavors and earthy hops work their way into things, carrying through to a moderately bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a nice thickness with smooth carbonation.
Drinkability is also good. I didn't have any problems finishing my glass and could have another.
Overall I thought this was an easy-drinking beer and a nice hybrid of an American and Belgian Pale. Worth a shot.

I believe in buying local, when you can, so I took a chance on this beer. New brewery in Charleston area. Had on draft in a pint glass. It's good. Not earth-shattering. But a really good first effort. There wasn't much of an initial smell. The taste was good, but not the overpowering flavor of hops that normally smacks you mid-tongue. Then again, it's not a IPA. So, it had a nice balance. It's a good freshman effort from a new brewery that proves you don't have to be big to make good beer. Buy local and support new breweries that are trying to make their way in the world.

Had a 10oz draft at Closed for Business...
A: Cloudy, light copper / orange; fluffy white head leaves some nice rings of lace before retention fades.
S: Slightly clovey Belgian yeast aroma; hints of caramel malts and some Amarillo-esque hops.
T: Light malt sweetness, some dry hoppiness (light tropical fruit notes); peppery-ness from the yeast; yeast dominates the flavor profile - or at least, distracts me from the rest of what's going on with this beer.
M: Light-medium bodied and moderate carbonation; a touch creamy.
D: Good. Not crazy or overly flavorful, but easy drinking. I'm not too big a fan of Belgian pale ales or Belgian IPAs, so that may come into play here, as well. The yeast flavor just seems to take over.

Filled fresh at Growlers in Hilton Head, SC. Poured into a pint glass.
A - Hazy orange-gold with a thin white head that slowly dissipates to a thin ring.
S - Caramel malt, bubblegum, citrus and earthy hops.
T - Sweet bready malt with more bubblegum and esther-y flavors, followed by more slightly bitter, earthy hops.
M - Very smooth with a medium body and crisp carbonation.
D - Nicely drinkable, this would be a great beer to combat the sweltering Summer Georgia heat!

Served from tap into a tulip. Poured orange with a one finger pure white head. Maintained excellent lacing throughout the glass. The aroma was comprised of sweet malt, dark fruit, citrus, and a very slight hop character. The flavor was of sweet malt, nutty, earthy, slight citrus, and bitter hops. It had a light feel on the palate with medium-high carbonation. Overall this brew wasn't really that bad. Went down really nice and smooth. Had a nice aroma and a nicely balanced flavor going on here. Not a whole lot missing on this one, but just doesn't stand out from other brews of this style. I am however excited to see what they come up with next.

On tap at Barley's in Greenville
Appearance: Arrives with a hazy amber color and a modest cap that leaves shards of lace around the pint glass
Smell: Bready malts with a spicy, peppery aspect and an earthy hop element
Taste: Taste follows smell, as the bready malts open, followed by the spicy/peppery and earthy hop tones; the complexity builds after the swallow and the finish is dry
Mouthfeel: Medium body with moderate carbonation
Drinkability: One of those style benders that uses Belgian and English yeast strains and an American hop bill, this is a very drinkable session beer; liked it much better than their Belgian Pale that I sampled but did not order

NEW YORK (CNN) – It can survive a fall from space and a swim with sharks, but can GoPro survive Wall Street?
That's the question investors are asking Thursday as the favorite camera makers of extreme sports enthusiasts GoPro hits the market.
GoPro debuted Thursday morning on the NASDAQ, and so far, the answer is yes.
Prior to its initial public offering, priced shares were listed at $24, the higher end of their expected range. The wearable camera maker jumped immediately after initial trading, up over 30 percent by midday.
The IPO raised about $245 million based on a large share of the U.S. camcorder market, 45 percent, and killer sales in 2013 GoPro revenue quadrupled last year to $986 million. That's not bad for a company whose products retail between $200 and $400.
But no IPO is perfect.
GoPro's sales dipped slightly in the beginning of this year, and there is risk from rival tech companies – ones with deeper pockets – who are all developing wearable gear with built-in cameras.

Lakewood residents' indifference toward the financial health of their city was on full display Saturday morning as the City Council and mayor held their first public meeting to discuss the proposed 2013 municipal budget. The two-and-a-half hour meeting played out in the City Hall auditorium before rows of empty chairs and with no members of the media in sight.
If the hundreds of parents, senior citizens, and disabled people who utilize the city's social services had been present, they would have gotten a clear hint that change is on the horizon. Mayor Michael Summers announced that Dorothy Buckon, the director of human services, is leaving her position in February. The move was announced internally last week.
The mayor indicated the change was based on a "mutual understanding." No additional details were volunteered, but it is reasonable to assume the efforts underway to change the way the city provides human services played a factor. Summers said the transition would take all year and Buckon's budgeted salary would be spent one way or another. She earned $90,030 in 2011.
The Lakewood resident had been director since 2003. She also spent a decade as the assistant director, and another decade as a Lakewood Hospital nurse.
Curbside recycling containers will be issued to residents
It's been three years since the switch was made to automated front yard garbage pick-up. Now, the city is ready to add recyclables to the menu of items it can process through automation.
Beginning next year, residents will be issued a second 96-gallon container expressly for the purpose of holding paper, glass, and plastic. The entire project will be phased in over a three-year period, with 6,000 containers being parceled out each year. City officials opted for a slow roll-out to deal with anticipated parking problems created by the increased number of cans lining front lawns on garbage day.
At a cost of $53 per container, it will cost the city $954,000 to buy all 18,000 containers. When fully deployed, the administration believes the large containers will lead to a two-fold increase in the volume of recyclable material it collects and an annual savings of $100,000 to $120,000 in solid waste disposal charges.
Lakewood residents recycled about 50% of their total solid waste (15,968 tons) in 2011, the 11th most of any Cuyahoga County municipality, according to the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District.
General fund revenue down lowest level since 2003; mayor 'very concerned' about 2014
Due to a 50% reduction in state funding, the elimination of the estate tax, and a 4% property tax decrease, the administration projects the city's 2013 general fund will be $33.3 million, its lowest level in 10 years.
"We have to continue to reduce costs," Mayor Summers said. "The threats remain substantial and real." The mayor indicated the city would need to have a "sustained culture of cost reduction and effectiveness," particularly because the situation shows no sign of immediate improvement. Summers said he is "very concerned about 2014."
The city's is projected to end 2012 with about $4.3 million in the bank, which is an marked improvement over 2007 when it finished with just $339,500. "We were spending money like drunken sailors in this city," At-Large councilperson Brian Powers remarked. Ideally, the city should have 60 days of operating funds, or about $6 million in reserve at years' end.
Finance Director Jennifer Pae gave a PowerPoint presentation outlining the general nature of the city's 2013 budget projections. She noted 76% of the general fund is spent on employee salaries. Personal income tax revenue is the primary source for the general fund.
The administration is currently negotiating new labor contracts with six of the seven unions who represent city employees. The city is seeking to hold salaries where they are at, with no cost of living increase for 2013.
Legislative changes made to the Ohio Public Employee Retirement System have prompted numerous retirements, including 10 in the Public Works Department. Others are expected to retire by January 2. The departures may help the budget in some ways, but will pose a challenge to the administration due to the loss of valuable institutional memory. "I'm very nervous about these," Mayor Summers said.
Other budget notes
- The mayor hasn't received the proper amount of criticism for merging the Division of Housing and Building with the Department of Planning and Development and dumping leadership responsibilities of both groups onto the shoulders of a single person. Now, to give some breathing room to the top man and to properly compensate the poor fellow who is doing much of the hard work in planning and development, the city is creating a new position.
The new City Planner role, as it has been labeled, will pay between $46,344 and $65,364, and is in the same pay grade as the assistant building commissioners and assistant law director positions. Basically, the City Planner job will replace the Assistant Director of Planning and Development and Project Specialist II gigs which have been left vacant.
The City Planner job was supposed to be created and filled sometime in 2013, but an unknown urgency has prompted the administration to have the role occupied by the first of the year. The job will be publicly posted shortly, although it will almost certainly go to Bryce Sylvester, who started as an intern last year and has impressed officials with his attitude and capabilities as a Project Specialist I.
- The city will move $100,000 from the general fund to the economic development fund before the end of this year. The goal is to have a fund total of $1 million to use for various economic development-related projects. Right now, the fund total is at a little less than half of the goal.
The mayor said he likes to have the flexibility to intervene in certain situations where the city benefits. Earlier this year, for instance, the administration tapped the fund to help acquire two troublesome boarding houses. It expects to sell the properties to rehabbers and have them converted into single-family homes.
The mayor made a brief off-hand mention about the 800-spot parking garage by Lakewood Center North. Apparently, the building may be changing hands soon, and the parking garage is a part of the discussion. The owner of the parking garage hasn't been willing to expand hours of operation to help ease the parking problems in the downtown district.
- At-Large Councilperson Monique Smith wants to blow more than $10,000 of economic development money to market the city. Smith has seen the success Kamm's Corners and Gordon Square have had in telling their stories and landing state and federally-funded projects. She wants Lakewood to try and replicate it. "We have an amazing story to tell," she said.
- Mayor Summers said the 2013 budget will have some room to hire the services of a statehouse lobbyist.
- Negotiations to extend the Winterhurst contract with Iceland USA are underway. "There's a little pushing and shoving going on," Mayor Summers said. Finance Director Pae was confident the process would end satisfactorily. "I don't expect much to change," she said.
- Water rates are increasing 3% in 2013 and at least 2% each year thereafter to offset a decrease in overall water usage. Sewer rates are increasing about 10% next year and 10% the following year to help offset future sewer repairs. The EPA recently checked up on the city's progress in meeting requirements of the Clean Water Act. It found the city was making progress and had a unique situation. The mayor suspects it will issue the city some administrative orders to improve, but will keep the matter out of the courts.
- The city is setting aside $200,000 at the end of the year for potential legal settlements for current litigation it's dealing with.
- The administration has nine stated objectives for 2013: 1. continue aggressively protecting citizens and their property, 2. finish Phase 1 of the Housing Forward Strategy, 3. continue to use new tools to reduce resources and improve delivery service, 4. identify and implement sustainable practices, 5. advance EPA storm water management plans, 6. Lakewood Hospital strategic discussion, 7. gain financial strength for investment in the future, 8. strengthen investment along Madison Ave., 9. improve stewardship of city assets, like parks.


text: She sits in the shade on a worn pink silky cloth laid on the raised cement slab that is a resting place in the late afternoon. Joankunda and three of her grandchildren gather under the sloping grass roof while the children's mothers sweat over simmering pots of spicy stew that will be the evening meal for the family. Now that her two oldest sons are married, Joankunda no longer has to cook. The daughters-in-law take turns preparing the food. This is a well-deserved break for Joankunda, and she helps out by watching the youngest grandchildren with the patient assistance of her twelve-year old grandson Sanuboy. Joankunda and Sanuboy lean their backs against the whitewashed mud brick wall of the adjacent hut. Joankunda's long barely curved legs are stretched out and crossed at the ankles revealing her narrow, knobby, sole-cracked bare feet. Sanuboy's gangly body is curved around his baby brother, who has been nicknamed Daddy. Sanuboy, two-year old Isatou and Joankunda are gazing solemnly at me – I am behind the camera. Daddy is looking wide-eyed at Joankunda, his dimpled hand extended out to give her an affectionate pat on the arm. Babies have always loved Joankunda. Daddy is no exception. Joankunda sings to him in English, which she does not really speak. "Daddy, Daddy, carry me! Carry me!" She sings to him in Mandinka songs I cannot understand. I don't think Daddy can either. He is only seven months old, but it doesn't matter. He bounces up and down on chubby legs when she sings. His eyes focus on Joankunda, and he laughs the laugh that only babies can laugh – the trilling kind from deep within the belly. Daddy doesn't care that she is missing her four front teeth or that the remaining ones are streaked brown from years of chewing kola nuts. He doesn't mind that the soles of her feet are tough as crocodile skin. Daddy doesn't care that her body is no longer young and firm. Her curves and sags from bearing six children do not matter to Daddy or any of her other fourteen grandchildren. A dingy t-shirt that says, "Hug me" on it and a faded print wrap, covers her aging body but her looks don't matter to me either. When I look at Joankunda, I see a beautiful woman. The way the baby is gazing with wonder at her mirrors the way I feel about her. Here I sit after twenty-five years away. I want to reach out to her the way Daddy is doing, because nothing has changed even though many things have happened. Joankunda and I are still comfortable with each other. We still understand each other even though we have lost some the words to express our feelings. There are usually people around to help us with bits of translation when we need it. But mostly we don't. Joankunda was the one who could understand my Mandinka long before anyone else could. It is still that way. We adjust to the limits of our common words and it doesn't matter. The repetition of our conversations expresses the deepness of our feelings in a profound way. We repeat to each other and everyone who comes to visit our reactions to receiving each other's letters after twenty-five long years apart. I cried. Joankunda danced. I sobbed with relief that the people, the person that I most wanted to see on my return trip were alive. Joankunda danced, pounding her feet, waving her arms like a large bird trying to take flight and singing "Fanta Jaiteh's coming; Fanta Jaiteh's coming!" I read her beautifully scribed letter over and over again - to myself and to anyone who would listen. I called each of my eight siblings and many of my friends and read it to them over the phone. Seldom did I make it through the reading without crying. For over a month, I carried it in a plastic zip-loc in my book bag, pulling it out whenever someone new asked about my trip. A few times I let people read it silently, but I didn't find that nearly as satisfying as reading it to them myself. I knew the proper inflection to use, the best places to pause and how to silence their questions before I finished reading. Dear Fanta, We thank you very much for remembering us through writing a letter dated April 6, 2007. Seeing your address alone motivated the entire family to jubilate for hearing again from a beloveth one after 25 good-years of silence. Part of the content of two lines of the second paragraph is sad and almost submerges our spirits of jubilation. Nevertheless, we extend our sincere heartfelt condolence to you and the rest of your family members on the death of both parents (your father and mother). May their souls rest in perfect peace. May God guides these souls through the right path to eternal light. May God strengthens you to reap the benediction of your departed parents. On either side, be informed that Mariama Jabbie (Jonkunda's mother), Nyimah Manneh (Jonkunda's aunt), Wasageh (Jonkunda's sister) to name few have all passed away. Death indeed is inevitable when the time comes. Thanks be to God that your prayers are answered. Fanta, how are you and your family? How are your sons Nils and Leo doing? What of their dad Joel, your sisters and brothers? Extend our greetings to all without any limit. Beloveth one, be rest assured that we most highly welcome your visit to The Gambia (Mansajang Kunda – Basse) come August 4 and anticipate to receive you all with open minds, hearts – and hands. With perfect thanks in advance for your benevolent letter and look forward to hear from you at your earliest convenient time. Love and best wishes from, Jonkunda & Mansajang Jaiteh Joankunda had to rely on others to read her letter to her, since she never went to school. Her sons told me she asked to hear the letter again and again. Each time she listened intently to the Mandinka greetings that I used at the beginning of the letter as well as the paragraphs that followed in English. Her sons told me that she too cried when she heard my words. And each time she told anyone about my letter and my upcoming visit, she danced. "Fanta Jaiteh's coming; Fanta Jaiteh's coming!" When I arrive, Joankunda is the one I most want to see. We hug and laugh and cry all at once as the usual Mandinka greetings take on special significance after so many years. Long ago I told Joankunda that I would never forget her. I don't think she believed me. She does now.

EAST PEORIA, Ill. -- Barge owners are saying that commercial traffic on the Mississippi River could come to a halt by the end of the week.
In some places water levels have dropped ten feet in six months.
Near St. Louis, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is dredging and blasting the river bottom to help keep shipping lanes open. Everything from oil to cement to chemicals, along with 60 percent of U.S. grain exports move down the Mississippi.
"We're already hearing about potential layoffs at manufacturing facilities...waterside and land-side facilities and just for January alone we're estimating that at least 8,000 jobs will be affected," said Debra Colbert of the Waterways Council.
Shippers and Midwest politicians have called on the Army Corps of Engineers to temporarily release water from the Missouri river to raise levels on the Mississippi.

Champions League preview: The exaggerated gap between Borussia Dortmund, Málaga
Apr 9, 2013, 4:35 AM EDT
This tie is still way too close, especially if you overlook last week's result to dwell on what's going on around it. Both Borussia Dortmund and Málaga made big chances this weekend, but still BVB rolled through Augsburg, 4-2. Málaga, despite playing a defender and midfielder set to start on Tuesday, gave up four goals at Real Sociedad, losing 4-1. Combined with the growing feeling that Manuel Pellegrini's team were lucky to preserve last Wednesday's 0-0 and you're apt to forget how close Málaga is to springing this upset.
"The first leg was not a bad result for us," Málaga defender Martín Demichelis was compelled to affirm on Monday. "[A]ny who believe Dortmund are as good as through are mistaken."
There's little doubt Borussia Dortmund are the better team, but the gap between the two sides isn't that big. All it takes is any of number of one-goal scenarios to come good and Dortmund could be out: A Neven Subotic error; a Mats Hummels gaff; one unmarked man on a corner; a bad foul in the final third; or a single offside call where the flag doesn't come up. Combine those possibilities, the away goals rule, as well as a team whose Champions League inexperience could belie their talent and you wonder why one narrative's being buried below another.
There's a reason Pellegrini was content with last week's result. The away goals rule plays a big part, with Borussia Dortmund forced to score twice at the Westfalenstadion if they concede. A bigger reason, though, is the approach Pellegrini's instilled, one that allows his teams to take advantage of small openings while relying on a backbone that can withstand long periods of time where the team's not in control.
"It will be important to show the qualities which have made us so strong in the past: intensity, aggression, intelligence," Demichelis said, offering some adjectives to characterize Pellegrini's approach. "If we can bring all those qualities to life, we can be on a par with BVB."
Those qualities were on display last week, albeit in limited quantities. Yes, Dortmund were better, and on some days, they convert some of those first half chances. But thanks to Willy Caballero, they didn't. As the game wore on, Málaga were able to stabilize. By full time, they had their own small set of would have-could have scenarios.
Málaga doesn't need to outplay Dortmund on Tuesday. They just need to have as many goals as their hosts. A score draw (or better) will get a second Pellegrini debutant to the semifinals. It doesn't matter if they get there on technical or artistic merit.
If Málaga can outlast Dortmund's initial surge and get to halftime scoreless, they can start playing for those one-goal scenarios that will vault them into the final four. It's BVB's job to take those scenarios out of play as soon as possible.
- Topping the list of reasons all this Málaga talk could go for naught: Robert Lewandowski. On Sunday the Bundesliga's goals leader came off the bench to score in his 10th straight league game. He's now up to 21 goals this season and has 51 league tallies since moving from Lech Poznan three years ago.
- Another reason to doubt Málaga: Suspensions. Weligton's out. Manuel Iturra is also out. Diego Lugano's going to come into the defense, while Ignacio Camacho will start along side Jeremy Toulalan in midfield.
- Dortmund, on the other hand, are returning to full strength. Hummels and Jakob Blaszczykowski are expected to play after missing leg one in Málaga. Roman Wiedenfeller and Marco Reus, both held out against Augsburg, should also start.
- Should Hummels and Blaszczykowski not make the starting XI, Felipe Santana and Kevin Großkreutz will keep their spots.
- Manuel Pellegrini was not with the team on Monday, the Málaga boss having flown back to Chile after the death of his father. He is expected to arrive in time to oversee Tuesday's match.
Possible lineups
Borussia Dortmund (4-2-3-1): Roman Weidenfeller; Marcel Schmelzer, Mats Hummels, Neven Subotic, Lukasz Piszczek; Ilkay Gundogan, Sebastian Kehl; Marco Reus, Mario Götze, Jakob Blaszczykowski; Robert Lewandowski.
Málaga (4-4-2): Willy Caballero; Antunes, Diego Lugano, Martín Demichelis, Jesús Gámez; Isco, Ignacio Camacho, Jeremy Toulálán, Joaquin; Júlio Baptista, Javier Saviola.

Career Blahs?
Chapter Two
Two years after her divorce, Emily was 46 years old and working in a state-government job that was too bureaucratic for her. She decided to make a change. "I decided to follow my passion for the outdoors and become a naturalist," says the Richmond, Virginia, native. After going back to college for field biology courses, an internship at an environmental-education center, and many odd jobs to pay bills, she got a job as an outdoor recreation manager at a county parks department. "It was worth all the turmoil. My life has been so much richer for it and led me on many future adventures," says Emily.
If you've ever stared out of your cubicle wondering if there's a better life for you somewhere out there, you're probably in a career rut. "When you find yourself emotionally disengaged -- when you're just going through the motions and stop caring -- then you want to start thinking about new options," says Leslie Evans, a New York City career coach, who says that these apathetic feelings usually start about 18 months before most people actually make a change.
Andrea, 30, from New York City, actually became physically ill from the 14-hour days she spent as a credit-card customer service representative, talking to disgruntled bank customers. Finally, she had enough. "I quit my job and decided to follow my dream to be in the music business. I took a job that paid $8 an hour as a temp at a record label -- much less than what I was making at the bank. Now I'm and agent and represent some of the biggest names in music."

Mrs. Granger Cast for Harry Potter and the Deathly HallowsDH Film
Here is a bit of good news now to brighten up the day: the part of Mrs. Granger (the mother of Hermione) has been cast for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. The Coleraine Times reports that Michelle Fairley has been cast "to play the part of Mrs Granger, a Muggle dentist and the mother of
Hermione Granger, one of Harry's two best friends, played by Emma
Watson." Michelle Fairley says of the part: "It's not a very large part, maybe three or four scenes which will take
just a few days filming. But it's very nice indeed for me." Editor's Note: Readers will recall that in Deathly Hallows, Hermione, in order to save her parents from the Death Eaters, modified the memories of her parents, gave them new names, and sent them off to Australia.
The actress, who is currently doing stage work in England, goes on to describe some early hurdles she had to overcome to get the part. Quotage: "They wanted to do shooting for the film on the press day for the play I'm in at the Old Vic which meant me being in the theatre all day. So, initially I couldn't do it.
"So it looked as if the part was gone until the director came back and said that he wanted me for the part. They have now arranged new dates for the shooting which will take a couple of days.
"I'm delighted as I've a lot of friends and family and their children who all love Harry Potter, so it's lovely to be involved.
"I've never seen any of the Harry Potter movies or read any of the books," admitted Michelle, who now plans to watch the films and read the books in preparation for her part.
Filming is underway on both parts of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, with Part One due November of 2010, and Part Two due July, 2011.

The family of a missing 56-year-old Glen Cove man is asking for the community's help in locating him.
Nunzio Izzo was last seen getting into a yellow cab in front of a friend's home on Madeline Pl. in Glen Cove on Monday, Dec. 17. He had been visiting there, said his brother-in-law, Anthony Bocchino.
Izzo suffers from medical conditions including epilepsy and takes medication to prevent seizures.
Bocchino said possible destinations for Izzo are limited. He had a few regular haunts around town, and he isn't able to walk very far due to a condition affecting his feet. He relies on cabs because he can't drive.

"He's a creature of habit," Bocchino said. "Friend's house, Dunkin' Donuts, 7-Eleven, that's it."
Izzo lives with his mother and has a girlfiend in East Meadow, but she said she hasn't heard from him since Dec. 15.
Bocchino said the family is not aware of any reason why Izzo might have strayed from his beaten path. He's a "regular guy" who is friendly with area cab drivers who he has gotten to know from his movements around town.
Glen Cove and Nassau County Police have been working the case, and a Silver Alert was issued.
Bocchino said Izzo's iPhone was last picked up in the vicinity of Forest Ave. in Glen Cove on Dec. 18.
If you think you have seen Nunzio Izzo or have any other information, please contact Glen Cove Police at 516-676-1000, Lorenzo Izzo at 516-429-3204/516-676-0105 or Anthony Bocchino at 516-526-7723/516-759-2596.

WASHINGTON, Ill. -- Volunteers from all over Central Illinois joined in the recovery efforts.
Dozens of volunteers from Rotary International got their hands dirty, in an effort to bring life back to this park.
The group is removing five acres of grass to rid the ground of glass, nails, and wood fragments left by the storm.
Some of the volunteers came all the way from Jacksonville and Springfield.
"The volunteerism that's happened in Washington since the tornado is pretty incredible...This park was the hardest hit. You can't really see the debris, it's buried in the grasses, but this is the only way to get it out is to take it up and replant, so we have a nice safe park for all the children," said Washington rotary chapter member Jim Bremner.
Organizers say new sod will be planted in just over a week.

FOOTBALL: Former Headington ace Butler dies, aged 83
6:00am Saturday 7th December 2013 in Non League
Ray Butler, a former Headington United footballer who was connected with Abingdon Town for many years, has died at Stowford House, Shippon, near Abingdon, aged 83.
An inside forward, he made seven appearances for Headington United in 1952, and was offered professional terms, but declined them.
In a successful playing career, he also lined up for Oxford City and Wycombe Wanderers.
He joined Abingdon Town after leaving the army, and after a short spell, transferred to Headington, with whom he won a Metropolitan League Cup medal.
He then spent two seasons at Oxford City, winning Oxfordshire Senior and Benevolent Cup medals.
At Wycombe he was a member of the side which won the Isthmian League in successive seasons.
He won representative honours with the league, and a Battle of Britain Cup medal against Tottenham Hotspur Reserves, before returning to Abingdon Town.
He spent the rest of his playing days at Culham Road, winning the Hellenic League more than once and beat Aylesbury 2-1 in the Berks & Bucks Senior Cup at Wycombe's Loakes Park in 1958.
Following a spell as manager at Abingdon, he took charge of the MG & Rileys works team and then Wallingford Town, before becoming chairman of Abingdon during their glory years in the late 1980s and early 1990s.
Born in Abingdon, he went to Boxhill Secondary Modern School.
After leaving school, he was a member of the Abingdon Sea Cadets football team which won the Great Britain national championship, before joining the Royal Army Service Corps at Aldershot.
He spent his working life as a paint sprayer at what is now BMW at Cowley, and was an active trade unionist.
He leaves a widow Eileen, son Trevor, daughter Shirley, grandchildren Simon and Helen and great grandchildren Theo, Jamie and Phoebe.
His funeral is at Oxford Crematorium on Monday (11.15am).

REflections on RE-CRAFT
Melvalean McLemore represented her team to receive Best Overall Design. Team members not pictured are Peter Ho, Diana Ngo, and Octavie Berendschot.
To escape the summer heat, over thirty-five designers competed in air-conditioned studios on Saturday, August 3 for an intense eight-hour challenge to propose a new campus for the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC). The center is a nonprofit arts organization within the Museum District on Main Street. Their mission is to advance education about the process, product, and history of craft. The Rice Design Alliance's (RDA) young professional group, rdAGENTS, hosted the event in the cool studios graciously provided by the Rice School of Architecture.
Participants had an opportunity to attend a site visit a week prior, Saturday, July 27, at HCCC on Main Street. That hot steamy morning, team members received a tour of the site, inside and out. They started under the shade in the craft garden amongst the cotton, bamboo, and indigo plants, they walked though the exhibition galleries, Asher Gallery, offices, and studios. The front door on Main Street was another stop to view the current façade and street view. A week later, at the charrette, each team received a program, which defined the issues of creating a cohesive campus that would encompass all the important aspects of the center and increase their Main Street exposure and identity.
On Monday, August 5, invited jurors consisting of HCCC's neighbor Christine West, Executive Director of Lawndale Art Center; Ernesto Maldonado, principal of Glassman Shoemake Maldonado and HCCC board member; Sheryl Kolasinski, Deputy Director/Chief Operating Officer of the Menil Collection; and Julie Farr, Executive Director of the Houston Center for Contemporary Craft, deliberated over the 10 entries. They determined the team that addressed the most aspects of the program in the clearest manner.
The Brave Architecture team (Team 5) made up of Diana Ngo, Peter Ho, Melvalean McLemore, and Octavie Berendschot were the winners of "Best Overall" award for their designs and ideas. The judges liked how they closed in the garden, creating essentially one entrance, and their design was clearly defined.
Cre8 Architects team (Team 8) made up of Amber Moncla, Stein Hansen, Stein Hansen, Bayardo Selva, and Luis Fernandez received "Best BIG Idea" award for their entry that proposed to close a portion of Rosedale Street and create a larger block with well-defined areas for exhibitions, programming, and creating a plaza. Clark Condon's team (Team 6) made up of Sarah Smith, Luis Hildalgo, Jason Rainosek, Luke Love, and Taylor McNeill received "Best Garden Design" for their garden layout and good presentation. The garden area recreated the repetitious of Cs from the logo.

BEECH GROVE — Two Hendricks County teams started the postseason at Beech Grove last night and only one is continuing.
The Danville Warriors cruised to a 57-12 victory over Manual in the sectional opener.
The Redskins (0-22) shot a perfect 100 percent in the first quarter, but only attempted one field goal and turned the ball over 17 times. The Warriors (11-10) led 27-3 at the end of the first after trailing 3-2 initially.
"We were in position on defense and we forced some turnovers," Danville coach Terry Hammons said. "Every team wants to do that and we were able to capitalize on some of those turnovers and make some quick scores. That's where defense is a big part of your game."
In the second quarter it was more Danville as they led 41-5 at halftime.
"When you start seeing the ball go through the basket, your confidence and shot picks up," Hammons said. "That's one thing a lot of people underestimate… See the ball going in the basket and then it looks like it keeps getting bigger and bigger and bigger."
Nine different players scored for the Warriors, including seven who scored six points or more.
"It's always a team game," Hammons said. "It's always difficult to give any quality minutes to anybody that isn't necessarily in your top eight. Sometimes your nine through 11 don't get the minutes, so this turned out to be a good game for them. They got a few more minutes than what they have during parts of the season."
Freshman Maleha Motter led the balanced attack for Danville with 10 points. Other top scorers for the Warriors included Allie Lake with nine and Nicki Kiefer with eight. Whitney Taylor, Morgan Bear and Shelby Suding each scored six points.
In a rematch of last year's sectional championship game where Tri-West beat Indian Creek 75-70 in overtime, the winning team was different this season.
After a good start, the Bruins fell behind quickly with 26 turnovers and lost 74-50.
"I really thought it was going to be a pretty even game to be honest," Tri-West coach Brad Acton said. "I think it surprised everybody that we ended up like we did."
Tri-West (16-6) led 17-15 after the first quarter but Indian Creek's half-court trap rattled the Bruins in the second quarter. Tri-West registered nine turnovers and shot 3 of 15 from the field in the second.
The Braves (17-5) shot 12 of 18 in the second quarter and took a 41-25 lead into halftime. Tri-West's inability to get the ball past half court clearly hurt them and allowed for easy Indian Creek baskets.
"They were basically outplaying us and we didn't have an answer," Acton said. "We didn't attack like we wanted. Give credit to them and they are a solid team."
It was more of the same in the third quarter as the Braves scored 16 unanswered points, the Bruins turned the ball over nine times again and the game was effectively put out of reach.
"It was tough to watch it when you're sitting on the bench and you're trying to do some things to correct, but it just wasn't our night," Acton said.
Sophomore Karen Jones led Tri-West with 16 points and 11 rebounds.
Tri-West has won 68 games the past four seasons to go along with two sectional championships so Acton did not want this game to be the lasting image of his senior class.
"This senior group accomplished so much," Acton said. "I don't want to dwell on this game, even though it's the final game but it's not the way you wanted to end it. These seniors have had a heck of a career."
Lauren DeSutter, Kari Sellers, Cary Brown, Dani Waldeck and Taylor Baggett make up the Bruins senior class. Acton knows that he will miss the girls moving forward.
"This group may be one of the best groups I've coached just with their work ethic and their ability to play hard every night," Acton said. "It's going to be hard to replace them."

Who's laughing at Freddy Adu and Bob Bradley now? The inconsistent creative midfielder shocked everyone when he entered the game, but he was the catalyst for the goal that has the United States ahead 1-0 and en route to California for the Gold Cup final. Landon Donovan provided the assist while Clint Dempsey provided the finish, but Adu was the man who got the move started. Down by a goal with just over 12 minutes remaining, a tired looking Panama side will now have to chase the game.
The move started with a long ball out to the flank from the center of the pitch by Adu. He threaded the needle with his pass, beating multiple defenders and putting a ball into space that Landon Donovan could run on to. Donovan wasn't picked up on the wing and had plenty of time to pick out his pass, which he did brilliantly. The USMNT's No. 10 laid a great ball across the box and Dempsey touched in a poacher's finish at the far post, notching his third of the tournament to give the United States the lead.

Ph.D., University of Virginia, 1994
*** I am recruiting 1-2 graduate students for Fall 2014 to work with me on one or more of the following projects ***
Broadly speaking, I engage in two types of research focused on 1) understanding processes of resilience and positive youth development in adolescence and 2) evaluating the effectiveness of community based prevention and health promotion programs. These types of research often intersect. Research projects are conducted in collaboration with colleagues and students at GSU and other institutions and include:
Resilience and Positive Youth Development
Currently Funded Projects
- Mentoring Toward College. In collaboration with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Metro Atlanta I co-direct a research team (with Drs. Tim Brezina, Department of Criminal Justice, and Erdal Tekin, Department of Economics) conducting a randomized trial of an enhanced mentoring program that provides a specialized curriculum, with a more structured, educational focus for youth, and an intentional role for mentors to empower youth to achieve educational goals. Educational and psychosocial development outcomes will be compared for youth randomized into the enhanced mentoring condition relative to youth receiving "standard" mentoring. Funding from the Department of Justice, Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention.
- Evaluation of Cool Girls, Inc. Since 1999, my research team has been conducting annual evaluations of the effectiveness of this a comprehensive youth development program that provides mentoring, tutoring, and life skills training to high risk, urban, preadolescent and early adolescent girls. Funding from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and Cool Girls, Inc.
- Teen Health Project. From 2011-2015, our team is working with a local non-profit organization called the Center for Black Women's Wellness to evaluate the Teen Health Project, a teen pregnancy prevention program that is considered by the Office of Adolescent Health to be a "best practice.
Other Projects
- Proyecto Juventud. A 5-year investigation of how the process of immigration affects developmental outcomes for Latino adolescents. Funding from WT Grant Foundation, Russell Sage Foundation, Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, GSU. Collaborators: Greg Jurkovic and Julia Perilla at GSU, Art Murphy (now at U. of North Caroline Greensboro), José de Jesús Gutiérrez Rodriguez and Francisco Gutiérrez Rodriguez at the University of Guadalajara.
- Prevention Intervention Research Group. Ongoing survey designed to assess risk and resilience among culturally diverse youth in school settings. The survey has been translated into Spanish and Japanese. This survey has been administered in a high school and two middle schools in Georgia. Versions have been used in Atlanta After-School All Stars program and have been administered to school children in Japan. Funding from the AIG Corporation and GSU. Collaborators: Drs. Chris Henrich and Joel Meyers.

The wrongful death trial of former Central Florida Knights football player Ereck Plancher continued on Wednesday with testimony that goes against the claims of the Plancher family. Plancher's death, his family contends, resulted from complications of sickle cell trait, which, depending on various testimonies, the team trainers may not have known about.
But on Wednesday, the UCF Athletic Association's lawyers received testimony from a paid medical expert that complications from sickle cell trait are not known to cause death. Via the Orlando Sentinel:
Dr. Martin H. Steinberg, a Boston University hematologist, testified the suggestion complications from sickle cell trait caused Ereck Plancher's death was "nuts."
Steinberg, an expert hired by the UCF Athletics Association, told the jury Wednesday afternoon there are no rigorous medical studies proving sickle cell trait can cause sudden death in athletes.
Later, Steinberg and two other hired medical experts testified that the autopsy report that concluded Plancher died as a result of sickle cell trait symptoms was incorrect. Dr. Azorides R. Morales, one of the other two witnesses, also testified that blockage of the sinus node entry of Plancher's heart led to a heart attack and eventually death.
Other testimony on Wednesday added to the conflicting reports on the reported absence of water. Jenna Earls was on her first day as an athletic trainer for the football team the day of Plancher's death and did provide water to players who requested it.
For more updates on the Ereck Plancher trial, keep up with this StoryStream.

He said he doesn't want to risk his health and he doesn't have the motivation to train at a high level. He is only 30. It sucks because he makes some exciting fights. I would love to see him in there with Froch, Kessler, or Bute. Those are all exciting fights. Pavlik just lost the desire. It wouldn't be surprising to see him back in 2 or 3 years.

They all say this until they miss the roar of the crowd, the exposure, the big money purses, and the life of a boxer. He will be back. He needs to clear his head. Look at Sweet and Low Mosley, he can't hang them up, the Real Deal Holyfied can't let go either. Roy Jones who really needs to stop has a match this year. I pray Pavlik gets his mind right, he has heart and he just needs a vacation.
All the guys you have mentioned have had bad money problems, which is the reason they are in boxing still.
Some older guys who haven't retired for the love of the sport could he Hopkins marquez maybe Ma
rtinez even...
But I remember when he was involved in Bute talks he talked about retiring because he felt disrespected because of the money offered. I believe he said something about being good financially if I'm not mistaken.

Oxford United loanee Forster-Caskey happy at U's
10:00am Friday 5th October 2012 in U's News By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
Jake Forster-Caskey says he is happy to play anywhere for Oxford United after taking on a new role in midweek.
The teenager has been a big hit since joining on loan from Brighton & Hove Albion in the summer.
He has mainly been used as an attack-minded midfielder, making the best use of his creative talents.
But on Tuesday a lack of alternative options saw Forster-Caskey drop deeper after Lee Cox went off at half time against AFC Wimbledon.
The loanee, who scored the opening goal in the 3-2 win with a superb free-kick, took on the added responsibility with ease.
Although he would rather play a role in the attacking third, the 18-year-old was pleased to help.
"I'm not sure I like that too much – I prefer going forward – but I'd do anything to be honest," he said.
"I'm really enjoying it, I've got my third goal of the season and I'm delighted about that.
"Every time I play I don't want to lose or draw, I want to win.
"No matter where I'm playing, whether it's back at Brighton or Oxford I'll never give less than 100 per cent and I think the supporters saw that (against Wimbledon)."
Forster-Caskey's arrival has helped offset the loss of U's star man Peter Leven, who has played a total of just 80 minutes this season due to injury.
The club did their homework on the youngster before completing the six-month loan deal, but first-team coach Andy Melville is thrilled with the impact the talent has made.
He said: "When you bring a young lad in you obviously do your groundwork and we watched him a few times.
"We knew about Jake's personality and his work ethic every day for an 18-year-old is different class.
"He's come into the club and shown it and he drives the older ones on, which makes our job easier."

A man wanted in Virginia for murdering his wife and burying her in a cemetery was arrested in Mecklenburg County after a two-week manhunt, according to a report from the U.S. Marshals Service.
Adan Quiroz Rodriguez, 26, is accused of killing his wife, Ashley Rodriguez, between May 5 and 6, in Alleghany County, Virginia.
After her body was discovered buried in Alleghany Memorial Park Cemetery, officials said Rodriguez, who is a grave digger by trade, fled to North Carolina to avoid apprehension, the report states.
Thursday, after two weeks of searching, Marshals found Rodriguez hiding in a closet at a home in the 14000 block of Egglestone Drive, which is near Pineville, North Carolina.
Rodriguez is being held at the Mecklenburg County Jail, pending extradition back to Alleghany County to face the murder charge.

Music, visual arts, film, fashion. With Miami and Miami Beach already a magnet for the creative industries, adding tech should be a natural attraction.
The makings of a vibrant creative-tech hub gained traction last week at the inaugural MIA Music Summit and its accompanying music hackathon. The events attracted about 500 entrepreneurs, music industry executives, investors and service providers. "That was a reinforcement that we were on to something, and it is a foundation to build upon," said Derrick Ashong, who served as master of ceremonies for the summit featuring 40 industry speakers.
Ashong, an anchor at Univision's Fusion TV network who has a background in both the music industry and technology, rattled off Miami and Miami Beach's deep or growing roots in all kinds of music from reggae to salsa to rap to electronic dance music. "This is the place for both musical and now technological innovation, and the intersection of those two gives what I see as a significant competitive advantage for this city."
And while the music industry is going through tough times, few were singing the blues at the conference. "As the music industry is being rebuilt, it is being rebuilt in a different way. It's a whole new palette for artists. It's an exciting time," said Marc Zimet of Viacom, which owns MTV Networks.
Neil Crilly of The Recording Academy, which produces the Grammys and Latin Grammys, said locating one of its 12 nationwide offices in Miami was a natural. He also said Miami was in the big four as a record-label office city, along with New York, Los Angeles and Nashville. Indeed all the big names are here, including BMG, Universal Music, Warner Music, Sony, MTV/Viacom, Nickelodeon, SBS, Univision/Fusion and Telemundo; events such as Ultra, the Winter Music Conference and the Latin Grammys; and, of course, the celebrity artists who have homes here.
Zimet and Crilly spoke at a fitting venue for a music-tech summit: New World Center, with 17 miles of fiber optic cable and 14 wall casts a year that are attracting 2,500 people on average.
Already, a number of Miami-based early-stage companies in the music-tech space are making noise. There's Senzari, which recently released its MusicGraph product that pulls together musical, user and social data for music recommendation; Choose Digital, a digital marketplace for music, movies, TV shows and e-books that can be integrated into brands' loyalty and incentive programs; and Kompoz, a platform that allows musicians to collaborate and create songs with other musicians around town or around the world, to name a few.
We even have some big players you may not even think of as music innovators. Take Miami-based global phenom Zumba Fitness. "Its playlist reaches more than 15 million people a week for at least one hour a week. Zumba is creating a new platform for music," said Scott Chitoff, Zumba's chief legal officer. The fitness format, and the music that drives it, cuts across all demographics, he said. "Claudia Leitte of Brazil hooked up with Pitbull for a World Cup song and she is going global. How about the 65-year-old in Idaho listening to Don Omar?" Zumba has even put up money for the branding campaigns of emerging artists, he said.
Miami Beach Mayor Philip Levine told the gathering: "We have all the right stuff — tax savings, musicians — the high-tech world has discovered Miami, people are moving here. And tremendous capital — we have the ability to get things done in the music world."
Said Demian Bellumio, Senzari's COO who organized the conference with the MIA Collective: "This allowed the conversation to get started. Now it is up to us to make tangible things happen." He hopes to repeat the conference next year.
Tech is already starting to power other creative industries as well. The LAB Miami, a co-working center in Wynwood, has become a nucleus for creative-industry startups, and last week hosted a meetup for fashion entrepreneurs. The FashInvest Capital Conference chose Miami for its 2014 event on May 14. On Friday, CreativeMornings is featuring Cloak, a social entrepreneurial fashion enterprise.
All this week, the Hispanicize conference at the InterContinental Miami features national speakers, panel discussions and activities in all the creative industries, including music and film-making. The upcoming eMerge Americas Techweek in May will feature an entire track for the entertainment industry, among others.

Go here to find out more and register: http://emergeamericas.org/experience/exhibitions/challenge.
Tap the Future open for entries
Miller Lite Tap the Future is returning with Daymond John from Shark Tank to find the best businesses in the United States, give the owners some business advice and award them part of this year's $300,000 prize pool. Teams of entrepreneurs with original business ideas have until Sunday to submit apply for a chance to win. Think you can't bring home some money in a national contest that garnered more than 2,000 entries? Talk to Miami-based Elebev.
Elebev was named as a Tap the Future finalist and won $20,000 for its business in the last competition. Founded by Nestor Villalobos, Elebev created Sfiro Premium Chillers, a product that creates transparent ice spheres that are served in a glass without any physical contamination.
To compete in Tap the Future, apply by Sunday at www.MLTaptheFuture.com.
Twenty-five semi-finalists will be selected to compete in live pitch events in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami and Philadelphia. Miami's event will be July 8. John and a panel of judges will select one business in each city to win $20,000 and advance to the national finals.

WORCESTER CO., Md - The Worcester County Sheriff's Office says they are asking for information from anyone that feels they have been scammed by men claiming to do driveway work.
Over the weekend, WMDT reported that deputies were alerted of a suspicious group of white males, driving around with a burgundy Dodge four-door pick-up, with Virginia registration. The Sheriff's Office says they do not have proof that the group scammed anyone, but they have had contracting scams happen within the county in the past.
"We don't have any information that they've committed any crimes, we're just trying to be proactive," says Lieutenant Ed Schreier with the Worcester County Sheriff's Office.
Lieutenant Schreier says they have had cases where a person will offer to pave a victim's driveway, take money from them, and never do the work. They are asking anyone that may have been approached by these men, or possibly scammed, to contact Lieutenant Schreier at 410-632-11-11.
