A: The beer is crystal clear light red in color and poured with a thin off white head that quickly dissipated, leaving some lacing covering the surface.
S: There are light aromas of grainy malts and notes of fruity yeast in the nose.
T: Light flavors of pale malts dominate the overall taste; the beet juice doesn't seem to contribute anything to the taste except for some hints of sweetness.
M: It feels light-bodied and clean on the palate with a light to moderate amount of carbonation.
O: The beer isn't that difficult to drink but it isn't anything that I will be seeking out to try again.

Salmon pink capped by three fingers of rose petal pink froth. Leave it to Magic Hat to use something like beet extract to give the beer such an unnatural hue. I guess they felt like they had to make good on the name. The foam melts in fine fashion, leaving scattered splotches of pretty good looking lace as it does so.
Even though no fruit is added, this summer seasonal smells like a fruit beer. Oh, I don't know, some sort of berry perhaps. Of course, it could be the color that's putting that impression into my head. It's also musky and sweetish. Interesting? Yes. Nasty? No. Pleasant? Not really.
Strange, oddball, off-center beer can be good on occasion. Wacko isn't that strange... and it isn't that good. It tastes like a fruit beer too, probably from the sweetness of the beet sugar and the fruitiness of the English ale yeast strain. At least it doesn't taste like beets or it would definitely be a drain pour. Rarely has 15 IBU beer been this bitter.
I wonder if MHBC test markets their beer or if they're so enamored with the name and the artwork on the label and wild-n-wacky ingredients that they think everyone else will love it as well? I find it hard to believe that this insipidly flavored ale (bittersweet berries, grain husks and crushed aspirin) is a big seller up New England way.
The mouthfeel makes neither a positive nor a negative impression. I won't even suggest how it could be improved because the flavor profile needs such a complete overhaul that the mouthfeel hardly matters in the grand scheme of things.
Wacko isn't as wacky as Magic Hat would like to believe. Instead, it's yet another in a long line of misses from a brewery that has the talent to come up with pretty good beer when they want to. While I don't regret buying this single (since it satisfied my curiosity), I'll be glad to see the bottom of the glass.

Appearance: Well, here's a first - a clear salmon pink liquid with a modest head that really doesn't last very long; leaves a few spots of lace for a second or two
Smell: Sweet, vegetal aroma from the beet sugar; almost taffy-like
Taste: Opens with a taffy flavor that adds a bit of beet juice sweetness by mid-palate; no hop elements are discernible and the finish is sweet
Mouthfeel: Light to medium body with moderate carbonation
Overall: Nice to serve the non-beer drinkers on a hot summer day; I guess this would be an alternative to a wine cooler for that crowd

Magic Hat's fascination with fruit beers continue. A non-descript fruitiness rides through all aspects of the beer. Caught in the mix of blended berries and fruit juice, the Fruity Pebbles taste gives a lot of variety and appeal to the banal base beer.
Though the fruit is fruit-dominant, it isn't without quality beer character. The malts give a mix of true maltiness and grain flavor and feel- much like an oversparged pilsner sense. As the fruitiness falls in the finish, the malts linger a bit longer into the aftertaste. Ultimately pretty clean and crisp.
Hop character cannot be found. Very little bitterness or flavor. Still, the beer is fine without it because of the focus on the fruit flavors and subtleties. ...maybe a light herbal, lemon zest note late.
Ultimately Wacko is an ok summertime refresher. Fans of Purple Haze with find comfort with this beer.

Grabbed both the new twelve packs the other day as I had realized that there were 5 of the 7 beers in there that I have not had, and that was good enough for me. Went on an epic magic hat tasting last night and went through them all. Served cold and poured into a pint glass, this one was consumed on 06/05/2009.
Just wow, I cant belive this one got put out in such a large release. Pours into the glass like some weird reddish kids drink. Odd look for sure. There really is just nothing going on here. The aroma is like a light cherry maybe, like tried red tang or something it just does not really work. Bland, light flavor of grain and rice almost mixed with a very light fruit taste that is barely enough to notice. Light in body and almost unnoticeable.
Overall wow, this was really not that great of a beer, and to be honest I was unsure it really even was a beer. Not something I plan on going back to for sure.

A: Shocked by the color. I didnt know in advance it was beat colored. Red with orange tint with a two finger light pink head.
S: Very bready and earthy. Wheat and a little malt.
T: Starts bready, nutty, earthy and wheat. The sweetness doesn't last long before the touch of bitterness aftertaste sets in.
M: Light bodied. Medium to high carbonation.
Overall: Not a fan. Dont know if its a C beer but its not something I would want to try again. The color throws me off. I always appreciate the creativity and therefore I wasnt too hard on this one.

12 ounce bottle - $1.99 at Total Wine & More in Kennesaw, Georgia. The back label of the bottle advises I drink this before July 2009. You got it, Magic Hat!
Appearance: Pours a clear, reddish-pink hue topped with an inch of fizzy, white foam.
Smell: Slight nose with some vague berry-like fruit hints, hint of lemon, and crisp, though delicate pale malts.
Taste: Pale malts, though very mild in flavor and with a small amount of sweetness. Hint of citrus from the hops with a medium bitterness. Vague hints of beet-ish, berry-like fruitiness. Finishes dry, lightly bitter, and with a club soda fizziness.
Mouthfeel: Medium-light body. Medium-high carbonation, a bit fizzy.
Drinkability: Not recommended. I've had some great beet dishes in my time. Now, I suppose I've had one iffy beet-based beer. This is a one-off release, right? Right?

I am a fan of what Magic Hat has does. I like their sense of style and their advertising is usually very hip and fun to look at. I had very high expectations for Wacko went it came out and knew that I wanted to give it a try. A local place had it on tap and I ordered one up without any hesitation. The beer came to me as a clear pinkish hue of a beer. Interesting, kind of girlie looking but I'll give it a go. The smell was on the weak side wasn't really able to pick much up other than generic beer aromas like some malts and grains. The taste was very light as well, kind of bumming me out. The beer itself is drinkable, I expected a little bit more of a flavor or something. Just fell short on me I guess. I still enjoy other Magic Hat brews though, I'll just skip this one unless it free.

Served in a Devil's Backbone willibecher.
So, yeah, I'm sure the score is a major tip-off that I did not enjoy this beer. Worse, it all started out so well. I saw it on the shelf at one of my local haunts and thought, "Hm, that sounds interesting. Let's give it a go." After chilling it for a few days (there's a lot of beer in that fridge, OK?), I finally got around to pouring the damn thing. It was clear, the color of a nice blood orange, and had a head made of about a finger of quick-dying white micro-foam. It seemed as though the beets were doing their job well, making a festive, interesting appearance. Things began to go sideways when my 'strils got involved. The bit of citrus hops was the only saving grace here. Unfortunately, from behind them rose some funky wheat, bad puffed rice (I didn't know that could go bad...), and a scent warning me of an impending vegetable zombie attack. I knew that damn disposal didn't work well enough. Still believing myself the Shackleford of beer, I pressed on into the foreboding taste. Big mistake. The vegetable zombies struck, a V-8 executive's acid-induced coma nightmare. He knew the vengeance was pending, but just kept convincing himself it was an impossibility. Foolish man. My taste buds were pelted with orange peels that had been urinated on by a demon; grass left over from a hippie's orgy-tastic sex tape filming; hard water; and the very salad Ngo Dinh Diem was scarfin' on when he was assassinated. I'd love to know how much they paid for that last one on E-Bay. The body was a mercifully light medium (any thicker and I may not have been able to survive), with a seemingly oppressive carbonation and a dry finish. I applaud the creativity and find the use of new and different ingredients to be a noble (is that the word?) endeavor, but this experiment has gone terribly awry. [rec] awry. I've had worse, but not many. I will say, though, it's worth a try, even if it will most likely end up down the drain loike mine. Every beer is worth a shot. They're just not all worth more than one.

A - Poured out a clear, fizzy, pink (yes, pink) color. It had a small, white fizzy head that left no lacing. It didn't look like a great beer.
S - It smelled fruit and of some grains.
T - Tasted fruity, more like pomegranate than beet. It was sweet but not overpoweringly sweet.
M - It was crisp and very sharp. A light bodied beer.
D - This one is worth a try, probably just once unless fruit beers are your thing.

Wacko is certainly not "wacko", nor is it anything new. It looks like a raspberry beer that's been made with real fruit, and to be honest, it kind of tastes like one as well. There's a subtle fruitiness to it, as well as some earthiness and sweetness in the nose, and then a hint of fruit pulp and some tartness follow in the flavor. But OK, disregard that, this is made with beet juice (and you can taste it), and the label reads "A beer with beet juice color" - implying that it's a colored beer, not unlike Coney Island Freaktoberfest (except that that beer is almost purple!).
Moving forward, it is an attractive looking beer with a slight haze and a gently ruby cast beneath a short but frothy pink head.
The aroma is a bit unusual for the uninitiated, but anyone who's had a Belgian Geuze (not the super-sweetened stuff) or an American sour ale , or even a brewpub produced raspberry ale with real fruit has had a whiff of something like this. Personally, I like it, but I can see why they might think this was off-putting to the common drinker and then think that calling it "Wacko" with an interesting label might help. Or maybe not.
The same kind of earthy, fruit-pulpy funk returns in the flavor, but it's masked a bit more. There's a hint of tartness, some nice fruitiness, and a bit of sweet golden malt. Not bad. The bitterness rises in the finish though, and although I'm fine with it, I think that might be off-putting to someone who'd be excited by a pinkish beer. Or maybe not. Oddly, based on my past experiences with this kind of stuff, the general public that will put their lips to a glass like this will tend to blind themselves to what they don't like about it (or don't realize they don't like about it), and instead, rally around it, adopting it as their own weird and cool potion.
So what do I say? Gimmicky, perhaps. I don't think that the beet is anything special, but on the other hand I don't think that marketing something like this is bad either. Whatever sells, right? And let's be honest, cards on the table, I enjoyed this and liked it a hell of a lot better than tequiza. I know chicks will dig it. And hippie guys will probably love it too. So what the hell, spread the love!

This smells like a bitter root to me. The flavor profile is...well...boring. With all that crap they are using in this beer, I was expecting at least a bit more punch. Alas, there is not much to this except faint, drab hints of who-cares-what-it-is. Nice label. Boring beer.

Poured from a 12oz bottle into a US tumbler pint glass.
A: The beer is an odd deep pinkish gold color with a large light pink head that fades quickly and leaves a thin lace on the glass.
S: The aroma is tart and full of beets, along with light malts and a faint touch of hops, but it's not appetizing at all and kind of nasty.
T: The taste starts out with a light malt sweetness that is quickly followed by the tart flavor of beets, which fortunately isn't as strong as it is in the smell. There's a mild hops presence that brings a little bit of balance but not much. The after-taste is slightly sour.
M: Crisp but not smooth at all, light-to-medium body, medium carbonation, finish is slightly sticky.
D: Not tasty in any way, does not go down easily, not too filling, mild kick, I just did not find anything good about this beer and there's no way that I would drink it again.

A - One finger of off-white head on top of a perfectly clear, reddish gold body. The foam settles quickly and leaves little lace.
S - Slightly sweet, malty aroma with a hint of cherry. Very light hops in the background.
T - Sweet, grainy malt up front with a bit of red apple yeast fruitiness. Some earthy, slightly musty english hops show through in the middle. Finishes with dry, toasted bread malt and more musty english hops balanced by moderate bitterness.
M - Medium body, moderate carbonation, and a dry finish.
D - A pretty standard, but drinkable brew. There isn't much going on in the aroma, but light yeast character and pleasingly musty Brit hops put some life into the flavor. The slightly reddish tinge from the beets is a little strange and it's my only complaint on an otherwise decent summer brew.

Pours a crystal clear pink tinged grapefruit juice tone with a light pink tinted head.
Aromatics are dull not much going on except for corn and cooked veggies, WTF! Also on board is a light mineral water extract, are we trying to give micro brews a bad name here.
Flavor is horrid, bitter cooked veggies with little to no apparent sweetness. Just cereal grain offness with more of that cooked corn DMS going down. If your going to add beet sugar to give a beer a pink color at least make it something worth drinking, pure shite.
Mouthfeel is light bodied with an acrid finish of post puking mouthfeel. Carbontion is a bit much and it really over does it and practically induces the gag reflux with each sip.
Drinkability, this beer is a lost cause I hoped to never cross paths with any beer of this level of shit. It has created a new plateau of piss poor brewing efforts, why does it have to come from a likeable brewery like Magic Hat and have such a cool fuckin' label.

Was able to pick up one as part of a mixed sixerover in Mizzou. Review based on notes...
Pours an effervescent pink tinged orange with 1 finger of eggshell colored head. Some lacing & zero head retnetion
S: Berries & apples
T: Berry juice, dryness & slight mineral hop edge, plus tartness up front. Faint raspberry flavor & metallic twang as this warms along with some tart cherry & a wisp of toasty malt hiding underneath. Finishes dry & fairly sugar sweet
MF: Thinnish with slight carbonation. Feels like a watered down wine cooler from the 80s minus the sulphur
Drinks okay, doesn't suck as much as the average MH product, so that's about the best endorsement I can give it...

Beer purchased on a lark for 1.50 at a local beer store. Beer is pink and kind of clear, thin white head, no lacing, low carbonation.
Aroma: OH GOD NO. Bitter...Grainy....Gross.
I should note that this beer is not currently on the top 50 Fruit / Vegetable Beer list on beeradvocate. And for good reason. This beer taste like shit. It is a drain pour for sure. Harsh and bitter, sweet and a horrible lingering grainy aftertaste. This beer kick me in the nuts, beat up my wife, aborted my child and asked me "Is this your dog?" before kicking her and leaving the front door open upon its exit (to waste the air conditioning). This is a disaster of a beer. BEWARE AVOID AVOID AVOID.

I had this on tap at AL's of Hampden in East Pennsboro, PA -served chilled in a pint glass.
A - An almost electric magenta like the flowers you see on cacti w/ excellent clarity. Like a mix of pink/purple east egg or Dennis Rodman's Hair from back when he was with the Bulls which is interesting, but makes you think 'cooler'. pale pink head of 1/8 inch and there is minimal lacing.
S - A very mild scent, not quite fruity, more lager-like as a hint of malt is noted
M - A very light feel-like a pale lager, crisp, refreshing w/ clean texture and slightly dry
T - A bit flavorless, really. Hints of malt as in the nose just does'nt do much to offend or impress either way-really Wacko. There are minute flavors of malt and hops that don't taste bad, just muted. I wouldn't have known there were beets used except for the coloring
D - Why bother, it just tastes like a light lager and looks fruity but doesn't taste like any fruit was used in it. I could say it is drinkable, but only passable really. I would prefer some taste, not just texture and a colored pale beer. Whatever was used to color must have fermented out and I would say try as a lawnmower ale if you see it cheaply priced. the fuschia color is kind of queer(wacko)

dont be too hard on this one, its a clever summer brew. pours a hazy pink color from beet juice added, with a short white head without much retention. smells like a wheat beer, plenty of yeasty spice going on and a very light body. flavor of the beets does not really come through, its more of a visual thing, but this is a refreshing beer with nice flavor imparted by the yeast. sort of sweet for just a second at the end, before fading out slowly with a touch of bitter hops. feel is fine, very very light. a good summer session with intense carbonation. overall i like it, not my first choice, but a very drinkable seasonal that is perhaps being treated a bit too harshly here on BA...

Economist Paul Krugman talks Asimov, Death Stars, and other sci-fi influences
In a recent interview with Wired, renowned economist and columnist Paul Krugman talked about the influence science fiction has had on his life and career and discussed his new book, End This Depression Now! It's a long and entertaining read that, among other things, relates Krugman's desire to become an economist after reading Isaac Asimov's The Foundation. In answer to whether or not building a Death Star would be the worth the estimated $852 quadrillion that it would cost to build, Krugman responds "I think more likely we're going to have microscopic drones that can kill everybody. So the Death Star is a very antiquated vision of what evil will look like. Evil will come in stylish, Steve Jobs-inspired designs." For more, check out the full interview at Wired.

The Adriane desktop for the sight impaired
The Adriane audio desktop system delivers Linux to sightimpaired users.
Linux has many beautiful desktops, including rotating cubes, wobbly and burning windows, and mouse gestures for semi-automatic functions that do terribly smart things. Unfortunately, from the beginning of mouse-oriented computing, the graphical desktop has been designed for users who work within a visual context.
Consider, for example, a nicely configured KDE desktop with tidily sorted icons. If you switched off your monitor, would you be able to start your email client and read your mail? Most users wouldn't even be able to find the program icon without visual feedback, yet this is how a graphical desktop "looks" to blind people.

Moscow Plans for Huge AquariumsFor those who feel a bit cut off from the sea here in Moscow, you may be pleased to hear that the Moscow zoo at Krasnopresnenskaya will soon be introducing a huge aquarium with glass underwater passages. You can escape the slush and pollution of the city streets and, for the duration of your visit, experience an almost underwater existence as you make your way through the transparent corridors and marvel at the different species of fish. It is, however, a little early for excitement just yet, according to the zoo construction management. Work on the aquarium, which is to be built on the corner of Volkov Pereulok and Krasnaya Presnya Ulitsa, has not yet begun and so is still a long way from completion. "This territory belongs to the zoo," the management told Itar-Tass. "An old building stands there now and that is where a comfortable residence for the fish is to be built." The aquarium will occupy two levels of a five storey complex. Included in the project is a lecture room, an auditorium and a café. Also part of the plans is the building of a scientific information center with a cinema for showing scientific and educational films. The authorities anticipate that it will be finished during the course of 2010. If you cannot envisage waiting that long to see the ambitious maritime spectacle, there is already an exotorium at the zoo. Although exotoria usually house amphibians and reptiles the Moscow zoo's one specialises in reef life. The new aquarium will however be much bigger and present a significantly wider array of sea animals. Another display of aquatic life is to open sooner on Poklonnaya Gora, or Victory Park on Kutu?zovsky Prospekt. Here an oceanarium, which will house more than 6 thousand species of fish and underwater animals, including tropical fish and reptiles, is to appear in 2009 and is predicted to be the largest in Europe (it was originally planned to open in 2005). The overall area of the complex will be 180 thousand square meters and will include an underwater theater, research laboratory and diving club. Like the Moscow zoo's aquarium, the Oceanarium will also run themed exhibitions and lectures. When & Where Zoo Hours - Monday - Sunday: 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Cash desk closes 4:00 p.m. Ticket Prices: Adults 150 rubles; Children free Exotorium Hours - Monday - Sunday: 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Adults 50 rubles, Children under 7 free The Moscow News

Shurmur was hired as head coach in 2011, the Browns have gone 9-22 during that two-year span.

Introduction to Renewable Energy
WHAT is Renewable Energy?
Simply, HEAT and ELECTRICITY provided from the sun, the wind, the heat stored in the earth, vegetation (wood, biomass) and in some locations the power of moving water. (Renewable energy for transportation is another subject, not addressed here.)
NON-renewable Energy:
Fossil fuels include coal and oil, natural gas and propane, and nuclear. Non-renewable sources of energy are a store of irreplaceable materials laid down eons ago; using them, is using them up.
In the 21st century "renewables" are coming into mainstream use...
...not only because "nonrenewables" will not last forever; but more importantly, to avoid the severe pollution and global warming caused by burning fossil fuels.
There was a time when using renewable energy technologies made little sense in Door County. The winters were too cold. There wasn't enough sunlight. Our wind resource was too small to be efficiently used. Energy was cheap.
Door County hasn't changed, but a new generation of renewable energy technology has arrived—vastly improved—so that renewables now make good financial and environmental sense for homes and small businesses in our community.
Solar thermal, solar electric, geothermal and wind energy are now excellent choices for Door County. We want you to know how!
We're the Renewable Energy Task Force—RETF— of the Door County Environmental Council—DCEC. Our mission is to bring together, at one source, everything you need to know about effectively using renewable energy at your home or business.
We hope these web pages will be your first step to understanding how renewable energy can save you money while saving our planet.

I only have a tween right now and to be honest, I am scared of the next couple years. I had a very different upbringing or lack there of. I am just trying to figure out what the median will be, you can be too lax or too strict.

[*]Grades--they are all in high school and are responsible for their own grades. If they chose not to do their homework and fail a class, they pay the price by either not being eligible for sports, not graduating on time, etc. We don't get involved in making them do homework any longer.
[*]Driving-right now DS17 has pretty much unlimited access to the car in return for running errands for us and running siblings places as needed. State law limits how many people he could have in the car-only one non-related passenger for the first 6 months and only as many kids as there are seatbelts after that. It is pretty much what we would have done anyway. The twins will probably have the same access to the car but until we see how responsible they are with the car, who knows for sure.
[*]Cell Phone/texting--if they go over our minutes, they pay the extra-if they lose a phone, we don't replace it until their next upgrade. If they want to buy one on their own, fine--neither have happened in the 5+ years we have had cell phones for DS17 and then the twins. Other than that, no "rules".
[*]Computer/Social networking sites-they only use Facebook by choice. I have their passwords and I am a friend on their site (for the twins). We have had ZERO issues with this at all. For DS17, he isn't on it much but I no longer have his password nor am I a friend because he has earned that right. I don't need the twins' stuff any more either but they haven't taken me off and I am not going to mention that .
[*]Extra Curricular activities-they have to finish what they start
[*]Dating-high school was our start for "dating". They had "boyfriends/girlfriends" in middle school but they sat by them in lunch and that was about as serious as that got. To go out on a "date" we said high school. Our oldest has had a few girlfriends, nothing very serious. The twins really haven't dated yet--they have a mixed group of friends that everyone just hangs out with right now. When they start getting drivers licenses that will change I am sure.
[*]Curfews--depends on what they are doing. The town has a midnight curfew that they enforce (with exceptions for work/school stuff). On school nights they rarely go out because of sports/homework/school stuff keeping them busy.
Honestly, we don't have a lot of absolute rules for anything. We really have "guidelines" because I don't like making rules just to have rules so you feel like you are being a good parent. We expect our kids to be good people, behave and be responsible. If they do all that, you don't need "rules".

Grades: A's and B's unless there are extenuating circumstances. Anything below that, extracurriculars are eliminated.
Driving: She was allowed to get her license on her 16th birthday and we gave her the use of our old '93 Chevy pick-up. She had to pay for the gas. No friends were allowed to ride with her the first six months she had her license unless she was transporting them to a school event. We did the Allstate Insurance Teen Driving Contract and there were consequences if any of the rules were broken - fortunately none were.
Cell phone/texting: Cell phones are not given to our kids until after they leave middle school. Originally, DD had 200 texts per month and if she went over the limit she had to pay for them. We now have unlimited on all the phones since we have four lines and it was only a little more expensive. Absolutely no texting while driving and no talking on the phone while driving. Loss of driving privileges if caught. We do allow DD to talk on her cell now since her current vehicle has a hands free unit that she usually only uses when traveling.
Computer/social networking: Computer time is only available after homework/chores are completed. Facebook is okay because they have me as a friend and a lot of their friends do, too.
Extra curricular activities: DD was a three sport athlete and a member of SGA through high school. DS plays football and is in the chorus. I mainly let them do what they think they can handle without it interfering with their grades.
Dating: DD was allowed to date when she was 15 so long as we knew the boy and/or his family. DS has not started dating yet, but the girls are calling.
Curfews: DD had to be home at 11 pm through most of high school until her senior year. There is a curfew here for drivers under 18 so we went by that when she started driving. At age 16, the curfew is 11 pm and 17 it is midnight. We allowed some leeway with the curfew depending on the activity and who was involved. DS doesn't go out much at this point, but he has the same rules DD did.
To the original poster: If it makes you feel any better, DD spent most of her time telling me she had the strictest parents/rules. She never got into trouble, so I'm fine with it.

I did the same thing with mine, now it is a lot of trust...My step sons on the other hand I really worry about them as they aren't responsible enough to go to bed with out being told, or to eat when they are hungry let alone brushing their teeth or taking a shower. I never have had this trouble with mine. Ex. on weekends they are allowed to stay up till 12 pm if they are quite and go to bed at 12 pm, but they have never been able to do this. dh and I are fighting over this one right now. He thinks it is ok (even when they were here over spring break and we had to work) I was up trying to make them be quite so I could sleep but dh is fighting me when i said that we need to make them go to bed at 10 then. I don;t get it if the kids can't be responsible enough to do what they are told they need a consequence to make them understand it. They are NOT that young either they are 14, 12, and 10. old enough to know to do these things and young enough to be punished when they don't. how do I get dh to get this through his head???

I have one that recently turned 17 and this is where we are:
Grades - I have to see that he is trying and applies himself
Driving - still learning and until I'm satisfied that he has it down he won't be driving anywhere.
Cell Phone/texting - no rules as long as he keeps it under control
Computer/Social networking sites - I don't monitor but I'm always flitting around
Extra Curricular activities - no real rules, just keep grades up
Dating - can if he wishes to
Curfews - no set curfew, it depends on what he's doing

I don't have a child at all, but thought I would post what my parents did with me...
* Grades - I had to do my best, but my parents did offer money for good grades... however, they took money away for bad grades. I got $10 for an A, $5 for a B, $0 for a C, -$5 for a D, and -$10 for a F.
* Driving - I personally didn't want my license until I was 16... I was closer to 17 when I finally got it. Just wasn't a big deal for me. Once I got it though, I didn't have many restrictions though we only had 2 cars so I had to have permission to take one.
* Cell Phone/texting - Didn't have one until way into college. If I was driving somewhere, one of my parents would lend me one of theirs JUST in case.
* Computer/Social networking sites - Computer was in the living room but that was mostly because we could only afford one back then. I didn't have many restrictions and spent time chatting to many people in Star Wars and Chicago Bulls chat rooms.
* Extra Curricular activities - Anything I wanted to do, but I had to figure out how to get to and from.
* Dating - I was never really told any restrictions, but I didn't even date until my senior year in high school. I was friends with the guys... but didn't really care to "date" them. Didn't seem like it was needed lol.
* Curfews - Depended on the situation. School nights it was 9pm unless it was something school related like a dance or football game. Weekends it really depended on what we were doing. I was not (and still am not) a late night person so I never had an issue with it.

I'm pretty lax but I have to laugh at the curfews. My DD doesn't really have one because basically she is at the school forever!!!
Right now she is at the school doing tech crew for try-outs for their end of the year variety show! It's almost 9 pm our time and I'm suspecting she won't get done until 10 or 11 pm.
Their musical rehearsals went from 7 pm - 10 pm for what seemed like forever!! She doesn't have her licenses so I'm always driving. The actual musical performances didn't get over until 10:30 pm & one of those was on a school night.
Last year she was on the gymnastics team, 90% of the away meets they didn't get home until at least 10:30 pm.
Therefore she doesn't really have a bedtime either. As long as she's quiet and can get up at her 5:45 AM the next day for school, no problems. I was the same way when I was a teen, I was a night owl but managed to get myself up for school, so as long as she can do that, I'm good.

DD is 15
* Grades- high honor roll-if she gets all 16 quarters of high school high honor roll, we buy her a car for graduation. (we most likely will without her doing this, but she doesn't know that. )
* Driving- permit at 16, two years of practice, license and car at 18
* Cell Phone/texting-1500 texts a month, she goes over, she loses the phone until she pays the overage. Phone is turned off at 9pm on school nights and charged in our room. Unlimited use on weekends. We blocked pix texting on her phone. I don't want to worry about that at all in either direction. We'll reevaluate next year at 16 all of the phone stuff.
* Computer/Social networking sites-one computer in the main area of the house. I have full access to all her sites, emails and passwords and check them from time to time. She doesn't seem to mind. She spends very little time online. Mostly for homework research.
* Extra Curricular activities-One sport a season and a couple of clubs or organizations. She would join everything and be busy 24/7, but I think she needs down time with family and friends just as much as the other things.
* Dating- no dating one on one until she is at least 16-I wish I had said 18, but I'm going to have to let her, because we've been telling her 16 for years and she's looking forward to it. I'm hoping she still does group dates until she's 18. (doubtful) She has a new "boyfriend" almost every other week, but it usually goes no farther than texts, phone calls and maybe hanging out with a bunch of friends at the skate rink or the movies.
* Curfews- no set curfew, depends on what she's doing. She's usually in bed at 9:30pm school nights and gets herself up at 6am with no prodding from me. Weekends sometimes she's out past midnight- 1am at a friends house-people we know and trust and she has sleepovers here all the time.
We sound so strict, but it's working for us. She's very happy, thriving at school and loves life.
She's a joy and I don't get it. I was a holy terror at 15....

- Grades - both do very well, A's and a few B's. I have never helped them with homework, they do it all themselves.
- Driving - my 16 yr old has her license and we bought her a car. In Vermont they can't have anyone in the car for the first 6 months - LOVE THIS!!! She isn't chomping at the bit to have a bunch of friends with her in the car either. She knows the liability she has driving others aroudn.
- Cell phone - texting - both girls have phones and put them away when they go to bed. Never an issue. 13 yr old textes more than 16 yr old.
- Computer - both have laptop and itouch with wifi. Neither one has a Facebook as they don't care to have one. Computer is mostly used for homework.
- Extra activities - girls can do what they choose as long as their grades are kept up. 16 year old works babysitting and will work full time this summer doing that. She really enjoy shopping so making money is what she wants to do. 13 year old loves basketball. She will be in a few camps this summer. She also plays soccer.
- Dating - neither one date. However, they have PLENTY of friends who are boys and they are at our house frequently.
- Curfew - so far we haven't had to deal with this. Even though 16 yr old has a car she hasn't wanted to go places and stay out late.

Hmmm...this was interesting to see what you guys enforce on your kids. Here's a teen's perspective (18) with a younger brother too (16).
Grades: For me, grades have never been an issue so I don't get punished for not trying or bad grades. I keep Bs in my AP/Honors courses and A's in my regular courses. My brother, on the other hand, puts little effort into school. So, if he has two C's because his test grades from the week were low he can't go out over the weekend. There are two different sets of rules for us.
Driving: My brother doesn't have his license yet, but I have to pay the gas for my car. When I first got my license my parents wanted to me to follow the one person for six month rule, but they didn't enforce it heavily. I'm allowed to drive basically where ever I want (into Chicago, the next town over, around the block). Anything that happens to the car is my responsibility.
Cell Phone/ Texting: Don't abuse the unlimited texting. My brother had 2,000 texts in two weeks; he got the phone taken away for the rest of the month. They can check the messages whenever but haven't in a lonnngg time.
Computer: I've had my own laptop for 7 years now. Three years ago they stopped checking what I do. We both have Facebooks and neither of my parents check it or are on Facebook. I got a MacBook Pro for my birthday/Christmas/high school graduation this year so that's stays in my room.
Extra Curricular's: Keep your grades up. I never had a problem with this but my brother is with golf next year. They are threatening no golf next year if his grades don't go up. I played basketball freshman and sophomore year and since the end of that have had a part time job plus a volunteer thing and an internship. As long as I can handle everything I can do anything.
Dating: I don't have time.
Curfew: 10:30 for my brother. 1am for me. Sometimes it's 2 or 3 depending on what I'm doing. If we miss curfew too many times curfew either gets moved up or we get grounded.
I guess I would say my parents are pretty leinent with the rules around here. We are good kids who don't get into much trouble so they don't have much to worry about.
can we pretend that
airplanes in the night sky
are like shooting stars?
i could really use a wish right now...

"How we roll...!"
What makes other people actually happy in life? If you ever wondered, you have come to the right place. REHACARE.de talks with a variety of people about happiness, desires and life itself.
"Living together in Schammatdorf is as colorful and multifaceted as our society"
( Source: REHACARE.de )
[01/09/2014] There are many concepts for togetherness and leading a self-determined life. Many of them are still in theory, but several of them are already a reality – like the Schammatdorf in Trier, Germany, for instance. Young and old as well as people with and without disabilities live together in this venue. Differences are irrelevant in this well-connected neighborhood."Living together in Schammatdorf is as colorful and multifaceted as our society" - Read more
"So far, there are only few texts in Plain Language"
[28/08/2014] The German language is difficult to learn. People with learning difficulties in particular are not able to understand many texts, because they are complicated in their grammatical construction and wording. Plain language is accessible and is supposed to help people with learning disabilities to live a self-determined life. REHACARE.de talked to the German Netzwerk Leichte Sprache."So far, there are only few texts in Plain Language" - Read more
Children with disabilities benefit from classroom inclusion
[04/08/2014] The secret to boosting the language skills of preschoolers with disabilities may be to put them in classrooms with typically developing peers, a new study finds. Researchers found that the average language skills of a child's classmates in the fall significantly predicted the child's language skills in the spring – especially for children with disabilities.Children with disabilities benefit from classroom inclusion - Read more
Inclusion worldwide: Documentary film about people with disability
[30/07/2014] 16 countries, 16 projects, 20 life stories of people who live with a disability. Dennis Klein traveled around the world on the trail of the UN convention. He focused a critical view on inclusion and human rights in the whole world.

"Diversity, the presence of variety is the new normal"
[29/07/2014] Whether you are young or old, have a disability or dementia – sports can contribute a lot to your general well-being. Respective organizations combine programs and activities and provide competent contacts. REHACARE.de spoke with Reinhard Schneider, Chairman of the Disabled Sports Association of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, about sports and inclusion."Diversity, the presence of variety is the new normal" - Read more
"Adult siblings sooner or later ask the same questions"
[17/07/2014] For Sascha Velten, one thing went without saying even when he was a child: as a result of cerebral palsy and tetra spasticity, his younger brother Marcel garnered special attention in their family. Today, the former child sibling Sascha has grown up and together with other like-minded people now offers other adult siblings the chance to exchange views and support one another."Adult siblings sooner or later ask the same questions" - Read more
June 2014: Mobility for all
[02/06/2014] An inclusive society needs accessible mobility solutions. For people with disabilities such conditions are often not given. Whether local or longdistance traffic – spontaneous and independent travelling is often weary and complicated. What the status quo concerning mobility looks like in Germany and other countries, you will get to know in our Topic of the Month June: Mobility for all.June 2014: Mobility for all - Read more
Mobility is (not) a matter of course
[02/06/2014] Going by bus, train or using your own car? Many people, who want to be or have to be mobile, ask themselves this question. People with disabilities usually do not make this decision easily and rarely spontaneously. After all, every means of transportation has its drawbacks, when it comes to independent mobility. Here is a brief summary.Mobility is (not) a matter of course - Read more

1. Private cloud orchestration
With a private cloud, IT managers can borrow technologies pioneered by public cloud providers and apply them to their own data center. These clouds have many moving parts -- virtualization management, chargeback systems, self-service provisioning -- hence the need for orchestration. Open source project OpenStack has gained considerable momentum offering a core set of cloud orchestration services. Eucalyptus is another alternative, offering essentially a private cloud implementation of Amazon Web Services.
It may be easy to be cynical about any technology attached to the term "cloud," but no one questions the benefits of pooling resources for greater economies of scale. Paradigm changes demand new ways of working -- and the emerging collection of cloud orchestration software supplies the means.
