I stumbled across a HBS online recently that allowed you to "build a recipe" in their software, then would hand pick and mill the grain bill for you (along with the other ingredients) so you could in effect build your own kit.
Now I can't remember what site it was..I tried googling to no avail. Anyone know what I'm talking about, or was it just some sort of hallucination?
First Brew was thanksgiving 2011, I'm at 93 batches and counting (as of 8/17/2014), and ran out of room in my signature to list them all.
thanks stone hands.
I just came back to post that I had found it. I guess my google skillz weren't quite up to snuff yesterday.
this store is amazingly awesome, anyone have experience ordering from them?
Search the forum vendor reviews. They have both good and bad reviews....

use the brewbuilder applet for every recipe i brew. they can weigh out grains to the ounce and grind them wonderfully. BMW is fantastic.
I like them for the fact that I can build a custom "kit" with the quantities I need. I don't brew that often so I don't buy in bulk, and I don't have a mill (yet), so it works well for me. I use them and would recommend.

Nora Ephron to Be Honored at WGA AWARDS
Writers Guild of America, East today announced a tribute to award-winning, screenwriter, director, playwright, author, and Guild, East member Nora Ephron. The tribute to Ephron, who died in June, will be led by the author Meg Wolitzer, whose novel, "This Is My Life," was adapted and directed by Ephron in 1992 and presented at the Writers Guild Awards East Coast ceremony on Sunday February 17th, in New York City.
"At this year's Writers Guild Awards East Coast ceremony, we will mark the passing of one of our most distinguished and creative members. Nora Ephron's life and body of work were those of a quintessential New Yorker, but not only did she embody the sophistication, wit and energy of our city, she was also a loyal union member who walked the picket line and talked the talk on behalf of all her fellow writers," said Michael Winship, President, Writers Guild of America, East.
During Ephron's storied career as a journalist, essayist, playwright, screenwriter, novelist, producer and director, she came to embody the words "Written in New York," with her iconic set-in-New York scripted films When Harry Met Sally and You've Got Mail. Her most recent New York-centric work, the play, Lucky Guy, stars actor Tom Hanks and debuts on Broadway in March 2013.
Ephron was also a longtime Guild member and ardent supporter, and in 2003 received the union's Ian McClellan Hunter Award honoring her body of work as a writer in motion pictures.
During her nearly four decades in film, Ephron wrote or co-wrote 14 produced screenplays, and had worked on or had in development many more. She directed eight films. Her sister Delia Ephron was a frequent collaborator, co-writing Bewitched, Hanging Up, Michael, Mixed Nuts, You've Got Mail, and the off-Broadway play Love, Loss and What I Wore.
Nora Ephron was nominated three times- in 1984, 1990 and 1993, respectively- for the Academy Award in the category of "Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen," for the films Silkwood, When Harry Met Sally and Sleepless in Seattle.
She was also nominated four times for the Writers Guild of America Award for Silkwood, When Harry Met Sally, Sleepless in Seattle and Julie & Julia.
Author, friend and Guild member, Meg Wolitzer will speak and present a video with clips displaying Ephron's characteristic style and charm from her films and television interviews.

Why did you get in the seduction community?
It all really started when I typed "why do girls like badboys" into Ask Jeeves, one of those old search engines that died when Google got big. Somehow, that led me to Fastseduction.com and other community websites, but all I did for a long time was read, and never really practiced much. Then one day I was in a bar and ran into Tyler Durden, Mystery, Twentysix (Extramask in the game) and a bunch of other guys. I recognized Mystery and introduced myself. I wound up hanging out with those guys for several months just before they left for Project Hollywood, and I actually almost went to Project Hollywood, but I had to finish school.
What was your biggest sticking point?
My biggest sticking point was having no balls. I wouldn't talk to girls, and when I WOULD talk to girls, I wouldn't take any risks in the conversation, I wouldn't try to move it anywhere. Also, I thought too much and over-analyzed things.
Why did you choose the name Tenmagnet?
This story is hilarious. When I first started going out and opening, I had a bit of a problem. I would warm up on some (ahem) less attractive (ahem) girls at the beginning of the night, and they would wind up LOVING me way too much and buying me drinks and following me around and stuff. So I called myself Sixmagnet…. as in a magnet for sixes. I thought it was a funny joke, but eventually I dealt with that problem and changed my name to Tenmagnet. I'd have to say though, in full honesty, I'm more of a nine point five-magnet.
What is your life like now with women?
My life with women is fantastic. I don't talk publicly about my love life in any detail, since the girls I date know how to use Google and frankly I find it pretty tacky, but my love life is basically all I could ask for. If anything, I feel like I've been doing the player thing for a bit too long now, and I'm keeping my eyes out for a girl that can challenge me and be a good long term girlfriend… but I'm not in a big hurry.
What is one of your favorite routines?
All of my favorite routines are real stories about my life. I guess one of my favorites is a really awesome story I tell about how Johnny Cash rules, and I basically turn women into Johnny Cash fans.
I like my women, and I like my Johnny Cash; but what I LOVE is women that like Johnny Cash.
Do you use props? If so, what would be the one that gets the most reaction?
I wear a giant silver codpiece and carry a fencing sword.
Nah, just kidding, I have an iPod video with a picture of my little cousin on it. I show girls the photo of my cousin, and they (always) look through the rest of the photos. Of course, the rest of the photos make me look like some superman rockstar. The best thing about this prop is that it's totally smooth… They were sneaking around and just happened to find a treasure trove of stuff that makes me look awesome.
Can you relate one of your favorite field reports?
There's the time I sarged Kursten Dunst. Otherwise, I don't write field reports. You'll understand when the love of your life finds your field reports.
I was there doing a one-on-one with a student who I will refer to as K (don't know if he posts here). We were walking through the NoLita neighborhood checking for sets, on the way to meet up with some of K's friends. We has spent all afternoon doing day game, and were a little bit "sarged out". I was looking forward to sitting down, having a beer and watching the hockey game (the Stanley Cup was on).
Walking down the street, I see a girl sitting outside a fancy-pants bar smoking a cigarette. K says to me, "do you think that was Kursten Dunst", and I say… "nahh….. was it?"
No lie guys, Kirsten Dunst was having a cigarette outside this bar, and I wasn't going to let that opportunity go by!
So, we turn around, and head into the bar in question. It's totally packed, and I quickly ascertain that Kirsten is in a back corner, surrounded by an entourage of about 8 people. There is no lock in position, and it looks like a tough situation.
I talk to the waiter, and arrange for us to get the table closest to theirs, it will be at least 20 minutes.
I decide my best bet is to sarge her when she goes out for her next cigarette, there will be an interrupt 10 minutes in (as they finish their cigarettes and go inside), but that's enough time to get locked into a set, to the point where they're pursuing conversation with me.
I buy a cigarette off a guy nearby and get ready…
Kirsten walks out with 2 friends (guy and girl) to have a cigarette… I pause a minute or so, and join them.
10M: "Hey, (to Kirsten's friend) can I get a light?"
Entourage: "No problem"…
10M: "Allright (engaging guy and girl, ignoring Kirsten), check this out. My buddy, Dave, just called me to say he can't make it out tonight, because (jealous girlfreind opener)… are like, New York girls crazy or what?"
Entourage: Yada yada yada…
10M: "Ok, check out my crazy New Yorker story… this just happened to me today, and I'm visiting from out of town"
Kirsten: "Are you from Canada?? ABOOT ABOOT… I can tell!!!"
10M: "Listen, little one, don't make me come down there!… So I'm at the corner of 1st and 60th, and this old, beat up car comes to the intersection. It's spewing black, oily smoke, and there's actually FLAME licking out from under the bumper… like an honest to goodness FLAME."
"So I try and wave this guy down, and he doesn't see me. So I walk in front of the car, yelling 'DUDE!! YOUR CAR IS ON FIRE!! GET OUT'… and the guy's window is open, and he can hear me. And you know what he does???"
(at this point, I make a face and give Kirsten Dunst and her entourage the finger).."He flips me the bird and drives off in his burning fucking car!!!"
(Everyone laughs)
Kirsten: "New Yorkers are so mean" (kinos me)..
I'm thinking to myself… "Did Kirsten Dunst just kino me? Did she just run her hand down my arm??"
Yes she did… and it was legit.
I holds out my hands in front of me… Kirsten puts her hands in mine, palm down (IOI).
I look at her palms, raise my eyebrow and say "Hmm… interesting", and push her palms away.
Kirsten: "What… what???"
I walk past Kirsten and lean against some fancy car parked in front of the club… the alarm doesn't go off (thankfully… that would have sucked BAD). Kirsten follows.
Kirsten Dunst is now facing me, as I lean up against some fancy car, and her hands are in mine. I begin running a palmreading routine.
Kirsten is eating up my palmreading routine, but at this point her friends have finished their cigarettes, and are going inside. I'm losing Kirsten – she is being pulled away by her friends, and feels uncomfortable being outside, alone, with a guy she just met. I'm also at a good point in the palmreading routine, where I feel she is hooked on hearing the end of it… if an interrupt is to come, this is the best time for it.
10M: "Your friends are leaving… go join them… shoo". And I push her away… she smiles at me and goes back into the bar.
As I get back into the bar, the waiters are just about ready to give us our seats… very good. We wait a few minutes, and start to take our seats.
As we sit down, Kirsten's table gets up to leave. I'm like "crap!!!" and start thinking of what I can do to save this sarge. They go outside, and I pop out 30 seconds later (don't want to look like I'm chasing them), and they're already halfway down the street… and just like that, Kirsten Dunst is gone!
Oh well… it was an awesome experience. And the really cool thing that I noticed was that Kirsten Dunst is a really normal girl… like there wasn't any difference between sarging her and any other girl you meet at a club. It was really cool to realize that even celebs like Kirsten Dunst are just normal girls, with normal interests, insecurities and regular lives. No doubt, next time I run into a celebrity, I'll be ready!
Cajun won Rules to the VIP. Can you explain what it was like to see a former student do that?
It's great… Seeing your students succeed is one of the best feelings you can get. Every week I get emails from former students who have achieved their goals, and it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy. Cajun was an awesome student, he was really perceptive and observant. A lot of the time, he would tell me that he learned things from me that I didn't even teach him, he just watched me in action and reverse-engineered what I was doing. And I was like "oh yeah, I do do that, don't I?".
What methods have you used to become comfortable with women?
The only method I've used is getting off my ass and pushing myself. The way you get comfortable with women is you go out and talk to women. Work on your body language and get chilled, and you'll start getting good reactions from the women you talk to. Pretty quickly, once women start giving you good reactions when you talk to them, you'll start feeling comfortable with women.
Nothing works like success.
Which pick up artists have inspired you the most?
Every time I hang out with other PUA's, I get inspired and learn things. I'd have to say that the guys who influenced me the most early on were TwentySix and Tyler Durden. More recently, guys like Future and Dahunter have shown me things that really changed my game.
What did you learn from them?
From Twentysix, the notion that picking up should be fun. From Future, a million ways that you can be really direct and strong and lead a woman, and Dahunter has this bodylanguage that is a million times more relaxed than I thought you could get away with. Dahunter's bodylanguage is so chilled you think he's going to fall over sometimes.
You trained Cajun. Can you tell us what he was like?
Cajun (his interview) was smart and driven. He didn't make excuses and he just did what I told him to. "Go approach that set"… "Tell those girls you like salad, and then try and turn that into a conversation", whatever I gave him, he just went for it. He had no shame, no fear.
Also, he was chilled. He knew how to just turn the game off and be a normal dude. To be honest, not a lot of guys in the community can just sit and have a beer with you and talk about movies or sports or something, Cajun can do that. That's why we became friends.
How did you tailor his training?
Every time Cajun would do something wrong, I slapped him upside the head.
Every student has a unique set of issues that you need to deal with. Thankfully I have enough experience that I can pretty much identify a student's problems within 10 minutes of meeting them. Cajun tried to hard and talked too much and negged too much, but he learned quick. After that, it was just a matter of refining things.
What specific sticking points did you notice with him?
Cajun, like many guys in the game, talked too much. A girl would be totally into him, and instead of kissing her or taking her home, he would read her palm and spit game at her. So I chewed him out a few times. Cajun is smart, I didn't have to teach him things twice.
If you want to learn directly from Tenmagnet, this weekend is your chance. He is a featured speaker at the Love Systems Super Conference. Check it out, it should be a great event.

ATLANTA Ś Even though Gabrielle Union lost the lead role of ABC series ōScandalö to Kerry Washington, she says the experience gave her hope that strong and likable female characters can be created for black actresses.
ōI said to myself, æOh my God, these roles are out there,Æö Union recalled in a recent interview. ōIt showed me that you donÆt have to settle. Luckily, the success of her and the show bred more work. Just from the audition process, I knew that I couldnÆt go backward.ö
Now, Union is ready to move forward and make her mark. She will star in the dramatic movie ōBeing Mary Jane,ö which premieres Tuesday night on BET. The movie will become a series, expected to air in January.
Union plays a successful TV news anchor who attempts to juggle work, her on-and-off relationships and the needs of her family. She said the role would be different from her typical ōgood girl who meets the bad guy from the other side of the tracksö character.
ōIf you loved me for one thing and may not have liked me in something else, this role gives the audience a chance to see that I can do more than one thing,ö said Union, 40, who starred in movies such as ōDeliver Us From Evaö and ōDaddyÆs Little Girls.ö
Union called her role as a news anchor ōsort of a secret dream come true.ö She said she has always been fascinated with the news, reading three newspapers a day when she was growing up.
In preparation for ōBeing Mary Jane,ö Union studied journalist Soledad OÆBrien, host of CNNÆs documentary series ōBlack in America.ö She recorded all of the episodes, watching them before filming the movie.
ōHer series took up a lot of space on my DVR,ö Union said. ōI love how (OÆBrien) delivers information. ThereÆs a news anchorÆs cadence thatÆs different from an actorÆs cadence. If you do it wrong, you can come off cold or disconnected to the subject. IÆve been able to grow with the character in that manner.ö
Union hopes she can follow WashingtonÆs success.
ōI didnÆt get æScandal,Æ but I got something better Ś which is my own show,ö Union said. ōItÆs all about building a legacy. This new opportunity is something I feel that can grow.ö

LUBBOCK, TX (KCBD) - Great news for Lubbock motorists; there are still plenty of orange road construction barrels, but 4th street under the West Loop is now partially open. TxDOT crews started a detour of 4th street back in late September of 2009 for the construction of a new overpass.
Motorists were told 4th street under the West Loop would be closed for 15 months. It actually took a little longer than that. The Loop 289 overpass over 4th street was demolished and rebuilt to accommodate the widening of the Loop to three main lanes in each direction.

U.S. Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz criticized Mitt Romney's decision to make Paul Ryan his vice presidential running mate in a statement released Saturday.
"Mitt Romney named Congressman Paul Ryan as his pick for Vice President," she said. "Congressman Ryan has been called a serious person, but he, like Mitt Romney has seriously flawed ideas for our economy that have only failed us in the past."
Wasserman Schultz, the Democratic National Committee Chair, denounced Ryan for laying "the groundwork in Congress for Mitt Romney's budget-busting scheme" which she said gives an additional $250,000 tax cut for millionaires and "punishes" middle-class families with up to $2,000 in tax hikes a year.
"This tried and failed trickle-down economics scheme is familiar and troubling," she said.
According to Wasserman Schultz, a Republican Party win would bring cuts to education, job creating initiatives and Medicare.
"The American middle-class and our seniors cannot afford to go back to the failed policies of the past, and it is unconscionable to ask them to foot the bill for the Romney-Ryan scheme," she said. "A Romney-Ryan ticket is sure to take us back and repeat the same catastrophic mistakes that got us into the mess we found ourselves in the first place."

December 19th, 2012Beer Shops
I came to the beer aisle for a special offer.
It's not enough to keep me drinking happily.
I think I just want a bit of personality?
I tune in to all the foodies on BBC,
I even collect coupons from packets of green tea.
On Fridays I get 50p off giant King Cobra's,
I empty a bottle, I feel a bit free.
But what's this, a lovely bright coloured leaflet,
Some simply worded advice aimed at someone like me.
It's got advise on how to pour a perfect pint,
It even suggests a beer to go with my tea.
Double malt brews to pair with a pizza,
Amber ale, the classic British brew.
Dark stouts, bitter and roasted,
Golden ales, all zesty and crisp.
I'm told the height of a beers head depends on the distance between the glass and the bottle.
Well this is big news to me!
So I'm tilting my glass at an angle, and that beer looks so bloody lov-e-ly!
And these hops they sound pretty special, their cone-like flowers grow tall and grow fast.
Just add them to barley, water and yeast, and you have a refreshing beer to drink.
I'm all lost in the supermarket, all I want is to buy a cheap beer.Tags: morrisons
But then I read this leaflet, I take a closer look;
suddenly I'm shopping for beers of all different personalities.

Tom Waits got it right when he sang about 'thirsty jackaroos' and 'no spirits, no bilgewater and 80 dry locals' on Town With No Cheer, a sombre (and sober) tale of a shut down and forgotten canteen at a blistering hot Australian train station. I can sympathise with you, Tom. We've all been there haven't we? That missed connection, that cancelled service provoking an edgy and desperate search for something, anything other than anaemic coffee from a battered vending machine. You might get lucky and find a decent pub right next to the train station – but what are the chances of a takeaway from the station shop itself? Zero I reckon.
Thanks then to Sourced Market at St Pancras International. Hardly a backwater I know, and not somewhere the punters in Waits' song would recognise, but the level of choice for this thirsty jackaroo was more than impressive.
Racked up in a tall cabinet opposite expensive sounding claret, are the ales. There is a broad farmhouse style table for tasting on the spot if you can't wait to get home, or you can take away. Not wanting to upset Mrs B I went for the latter option, and chose a couple of the guest ales – a smart promotion for the Great Newsome Brewery up at Winstead, Hull.
Pricky Back Otchan (you'll need a translator for that one) is a sweet amber bitter with enough hop to make it a fanciable session beer and, at 4.2% ABV, it has a roundness and complexity to keep you guessing. Hints of citrus but without ruining what I found to be a solid enough brew. It went well with pasta and chicken pesto but I would imagine deep chunky casseroles would be the best match. A nice alternative to Shepherd Neame's Late Red of which I've been chewing down recently. Read the rest of this entry »Tags: great newsome, source market, st pancras, train, train stations, yorkshire

The weekend just gone I visited my cousins in Cheshire. They are 9 and 5 years old (I think!) respectively and are bundles of noise and cheekiness. Despite spending the weekend calling me by my brothers first name in a bid to wind me up, they don't half make me smile, especially when they (well, their dad, my uncle) took me to their newly opened local beer shop.
The Beer Emporium is a small but well stocked beer shop in Sandbach, a quirky and slightly curious town, situated straight off the M6, with a far reaching history that's most prominently displayed in the Sandbach Crosses, a scheduled monument dating back to the Middle Ages. Despite the wood framed buildings and a posh deli stuffed to the rafters with fine foods and continental delicacies I'm assured that the town is sports mad, with barely a dash of culture amidst the football posts and cricket stumps (the last bastion of hope is WH SMith's, the only place you can buy a book). The ancient looking pubs are beautiful from the outside but to my shame we didn't have time to venture in them with the young cousins in tow.

I hadn't really taken much note of the beer aisle in Morrison's for a while, writing it off as a bit dull and uninteresting. We're unusually blessed with Morrison's, Sainsbury's and ASDA within a 4-minute radius in the car, not to mention Leeds' finer beery retailers, so I can happily avoid Morrison's BWS department for months on end.
On Sarah's request I popped in straight off the bus on Tuesday night for some naan bread and as I headed from checkout to door I couldn't help but be drawn towards the beer and wines section (our Morrison's is one of those odd divisive ones with a separate alcohol area fenced off from the main supermarket floor).
First off I was impressed with their range and I was overcome with an urge to try old favourites and classic British beers. Thai green chicken curry was on the menu which called for something a little exotic, plus I needed a pick me up after an arduous day at the office: a refreshing and zingy Golden Champion would do just the trick.

November 30th, 2009Beer Shops
If you read about my special beer night a few weeks ago, you might remember that my usually varied and brimming beer cupboard was running a bit low, with only a few beers left, most of them bottles I was saving.
So with pay day just gone it was time for a stock up, so the weekend just gone I nipped to Ilkley for a few hours out on the moor with Sam Lanes, stopping at Booth's supermarket on the way before a quick wallet burning session in Beer Ritz.
I'd gone with the intention of stocking up on pale ales, it's been a while since I had any staple favourites in and I fancied some strong hoppy numbers, the likes of Halcyon, EIPA, Goose Island, St Lupulin and co. But I ended up leaving with a surprisingly English ale selection, as the Booths stock was very focussed on Northern numbers and I got distracted at Beer Ritz by a few 'new ins'.
Booths has a good selection of ales, although nothing was really grabbing my attention at first. After a few minutes scanning the vast array of brown bottles I picked up a Williams tayberry beer which I remember being good, a Joseph Holt as not only was I tempted by the Lowry label and because 1849 Champion had been good.
A few people had told me to try Chalky's Bite, whilst I couldn't resist a beer local brews (thinking a bit ahead of myself for beer swap round 2?!) particularly Withens IPA which I (think) I tried at Keighley & Worth Valley festival at Oxenhope.

I was a little disappointed the other week when I visited Jones' and found that the beer selection had decreased since my last visit a little over 12 months ago. 'We just didn't have the space' the lady behind the counter replied 'we extended the coffee shop area and something had to go'. Normally I would have cried into a large espresso at this point, had the management not seen Oz and James, the increase in the number of Micro-Breweries in the UK? Beer is back, why sacrifice half the range for a continental coffee shop?!?!?
Luckily the next words saved the day. 'We just decided to focus on local beers since we had less space.' I couldn't argue. Looking along the four shelves of ales and ciders I didn't see any that would had been brewed too far from Oxfordshire. The Cotswold Brewing Company, Cherwell Valley Brewery, Warwickshire Beer Company and, of course, Hook Norton Brewery all featured. And it made sense, I can't imagine people were going into Jones' to buy more beers that are widely available through supermarkets (and most likely more cheaply) so it is logical for them to focus on the niche area of the market.
Jones' is primarily a wine merchants and I am led to believe a very good one at that. It is also now somewhere where the people of Banbury can get a coffee and sandwich on their dinner hour. This has taken away from the range of beers available from the shop but not, thankfully, from the huge value of the shop as a merchant of local beers. The cost has been the lack of availability of lesser known beers from a wider area…the people of Banbury are either going to have to support local (no bad thing in my opinion) or get in the car!Tags: Banbury, Cherwell Valley Brewery, Cotswold Brewing company, Hook Norton Brewery, S H Jones, Warwickshire Beer Company, Wine Merchants

The coaches have spoken: Oregon State has the most First Team All Pac10 Selections of any team in the conference. Offensive player of the year was Toby Gerhart, Defensive Player of the Year was Brian Price, and Coach of the Year was Chip Kelly. No surprises there. What was very surprising was not only did we have seven first team all selections, Oregon, which won the conference championship outright, only had one, Ed Dickson. LaMichael James of Oregon and Vontaze Burfict of Arizona State were chosen as offensive and defensive players of the year.
So congratulations to Sean Canfield (QB), Jacquizz Rodgers (RB), James Rodgers (WR), Gregg Peat (OL), Stephen Paea (DL), Keaton Kristick (LB), and Suaesi Tuimaunei (Special Teams).

Seagate Technology today announced its new portfolio of SSDs (solid-state drives) -- including its first consumer model for laptops -- and a new PCIe flash card.
The new 2.5-in drive series includes the consumer-class Seagate 600 SSD, the 600 Pro SSD, the 1200 SSD, and the new X8 Accelerator, a PCIe flash memory card from Seagate's partnership with Virident Technology. The new PCIe card offers all the key storage interfaces including SATA and SAS.
[ Take the pain out of saving your data with InfoWorld's 4 incredibly useful tips for better backups. | Managing backup infrastructure right is not so simple. InfoWorld's expert contributors show you how to get it right in this "Backup Infrastructure Deep Dive" PDF guide. ]
Seagate calls its 600 SSD "the ultimate laptop upgrade," delivering nearly four times faster boot speeds over standard hard disk drives, shorter application load times, and improved system responsiveness. The drive has the latest 6Gbps SATA interface; comes in 120GB, 240GB and 480GB capacities; and is available in multiple 7mm or 5mm-high form factors, meaning it fits into most ultra-thin notebooks as well as standard laptops.
Seagate's specification sheet claims the 600 SSD has a sequential data read/write rate of up to 500MB/sec using 128KB block sizes. And it can generate up to 80,000 random IOPS (I/Os per second) read/write rate using 4KB block sizes.
Seagate 600 Pro SSD
Seagate's new 600 Pro SSD is a low-power server and storage drive aimed at cloud system builders, hyperscale datacenters, cloud service providers, content delivery networks and virtualized environments. An entry-level enterprise SATA SSD, the 600 Pro SSD combines flash performance and lower power for "IOPS/watt value."
The 600 Pro SSD typically uses 2.8 watts of operating power, and it reduces energy use by automatically adjusting the power consumption to workload I/O levels, Seagate said in a statement.
The Seagate 600 Pro SSD is available in capacities ranging from 120GB to 480GB. It also has a 6Gb/s SATA interface and a top sequential read/write rate of 520MB/sec.
Seagate 1200 SSD
Seagate's new 1200 series SSD is also an enterprise-class drive, but is aimed at enterprise storage and server applications with complex, write-intensive mixed workloads, such as high-performance computing and data analytics.
The 1200 SSD delivers Seagate's top performance in an SSD and the highest levels of data integrity, the company said.
The drive uses algorithms that optimize performance for frequently accessed data by prioritizing which storage operations -- reads or writes -- occur first and optimizing where it is stored. "The result is improved performance to help close the gap between processor and data access," Seagate said.

Baby P mother released same day as Shoesmith payout
Tracey Connelly, the mother of Baby P, is understood to have been released from prison on Tuesday - the same day as it was revealed that former child protection boss Sharon Shoesmith will receive a payout of up to £600,000 over her unfair dismissal.
Sharon Shoesmith was fired from her £133,000-a-year job by Haringey Council without compensation in December 2008, after a damning report by Ofsted into the handling of the Baby P case.
However, Ms Shoesmith won a ruling that she was unfairly sacked and a Haringey Council spokeswoman confirmed on Tuesday that a settlement had been reached with Ms Shoesmith, with reports suggesting it was a six-figure sum.

Coming off a 13-3 season and a trip to the NFC Championship game, the Atlanta Falcons don't need to undergo a major rebuild. The Falcons have plenty of talent and depth at many spots. Still, the Falcons do have some needs this offseason and filling them could help them take the next step toward reaching a Super Bowl.
Biggest need: Tight end
The Falcons have talent on offense, with Matt Ryan at quarterback and Julio Jones and Roddy White at wide receiver. However, with Tony Gonzalez planning to retire, the Falcons will have a void at tight end. Gonzalez led Atlanta with 93 receptions last year and was one of Ryan's favorite targets in crucial situations. Losing arguably the greatest tight end in NFL history would be bad enough, but the lack of depth behind Gonzalez makes matters worse.
Fortunately for the Falcons, there are a number of tight ends available both in free agency and the draft. Martellus Bennett, Fred Davis and Jared Cook are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents. In the draft, Tyler Eifert and Zach Ertz are considered to have first-round potential, and both could be available when the Falcons come up on the clock.
A pass rusher is also a major need with John Abraham off the depth chart. The team's leading pass rusher was released on March 3. Considering he accounted for over one-third of the Falcons' sacks last season, the franchise is in desperate need of a player able to get pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Dave Choate of SB Nation's Falcons blog The Falcoholic wrote:
The biggest need for the Atlanta Falcons this off-season is an improved pass rush. The Falcons struggled mightily when it came to pursuing opposing quarterbacks, and aging stud defensive end John Abraham accounted for a large share of the sacks the Falcons did manage. Mike Nolan did well with the personnel he had and promising young players like defensive end Jonathan Massaquoi and defensive tackle Travian Robertson might be ready to help this year, but there's no magic bullet on the roster today.
They will need to find an impact pass rusher in free agency or the draft and get more out of their current personnel if they're going to make another deep playoff run in 2013. Given a tight cap situation, that player might have to come out of the draft.
Other needs: Defensive end, safety, cornerback, linebacker
The Falcons finished fifth in the NFL in scoring defense last season, but still had issues at times, including in the playoffs. Atlanta was unable to generate much of a pass rush, finishing 28th in the NFL with only 29 sacks. Without Abraham, they're left with 19 sacks in production. Atlanta's other starting defensive end, Kroy Biermann, has 16.5 career sacks in five seasons.
Both of the Falcons' starting safeties made the Pro Bowl last season, but that doesn't mean there might not be a need at that position. William Moore is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agent and if he departs, the Falcons will have a major hole at strong safety. Thomas DeCoud also made the Pro Bowl, but struggled in coverage during the postseason.
Dunta Robinson was cut along with Abraham to clear cap space. Cornerback Brent Grimes will be a free agent March 12, so bringing him back is even more crucial to the Falcons' success in 2013. Robinson started opposite of Asante Samuel, while Grimes was on injured reserve last season.
Atlanta has invested heavily in its starting linebackers, but inconsistent play and a lack of depth could lead to the team adding to the linebacker corps.
NFL Draft outlook: Atlanta to pick 30th
After not having a first-round pick last season, the Falcons will pick 30th this season. Despite their position near the bottom of the first round, Atlanta should still be able to fill a key need with its pick. SB Nation's Matthew Fairburn has Tank Carradine going to the Falcons at No. 30 overall.
In addition to the 30th pick, the Falcons currently have six other draft picks, one in each round. Outside of the second round where they hold the 28th pick, the Falcons will pick 30th in every round.
Salary cap situation: Falcons $21.19 million under the cap
Atlanta is currently projected to be $21.198 million under the 2013 salary cap, according to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Moore, Grimes and left tackle Sam Baker remain the most important players on the roster to re-sign.
Atlanta cleared space by cutting veterans in order to make room for these key free agents. General manager Thomas Dimitroff has said the top priority is re-signing current team members.

Here in Dallas, we are frozen. Literally the ice is so bad that we haven't been able to get out of our driveway since Friday! If you follow me on Instagram, you have seen the icy fun we have been having.
Besides sledding down the driveway, we have had lots of time to bake cookies and taste test the best recipes for Santa. One of my favorite holiday candies are Candy Cane Hershey Kisses! I normally don't like candy canes, but I can't stop eating these. I always think they look like little Santa hats, so we made some cookies that did just that!
These cute Santa Hat Peppermint Sugar Cookies not only look good, but taste delicious!
You can see what I've been doing while iced in the house… it's a hard job to taste test cookies, but someone has to do it!
We think Santa will really enjoy these soft chewy cookies, don't you?
Whether you serve them to Santa, take to a cookie exchange or pack up for sweet gifts, these yummy Peppermint Sugar Cookies are sure to please anyone!
Since we are iced in again today, I'm sure we will be making even more cookies. What is your favorite holiday cookie?
We really loved this recipe. I hope you enjoy it too!
Peppermint Sugar Cookie Recipe - Delicious and easy sugar cookies that look like Santa hats.
- 2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 tsp peppermint extract
- 30 Candy Cane Hershey Kiss Candies crushed
- 40-50 Unwrapped Candy Cane Hershey Kiss Candies (2 bags of candy in all)
- 2 Tubs Jet-Puffed Marshmallow Creme (7 oz.)
- White Icing - Tube or Homemade
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Combine flour, baking soda, and baking powder in a bowl. Set aside.
- In another bowl, combine softened butter and sugar, mix until smooth and creamy.
- Mix in the egg, vanilla and peppermint.
- Mix in the dry ingredients.
- Mix in the crushed candy.
- Roll dough into small balls and place onto a cookie sheet.
- Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden.
- Remove from oven and wait a few minutes to move cookies to a wire rack to cool.
- When cookies have cooled, add a small spoonful of marshmallow creme to the top of each cookie.
- Gently press a Hershey Kiss Candy onto the marshmallow creme in the middle of each cookie. Remove and try again if placement is not correct. The creme will smooth out on it's own after a few seconds.
- Pipe a small ball of white icing to the top of the candy to create a Santa hat.
- Keep cookies flat for 30 minutes or until marshmallow creme does not spread. Move to serving plate.

Justice for JonBenet Ramsey and an end to the doubts surrounding her killing and the embarrassing failure to find her killer can only be achieved through the intervention of Colorado Governor Bill Owens. He can remove JonBenet's murder investigation from the Boulder District Attorney (BDA), who has failed to take appropriate steps to resolve the matter and appoint an experienced and objective special prosecutor and staff whose subsequent investigation will be unbiased and not influenced by the Ramseys, their attorneys, their hired investigators, or analysts.
As an Assistant DA assigned to the Ramsey investigation, Keenan expressed her belief that an intruder killed JonBenet and focused her efforts on the Ramseys' neighbor, Bill McReynolds. Since her election to office, District Attorney Keenan has not involved herself in this case. She has forwarded any actions involving "anything Ramsey" to Assistant DA Bill Nagle. Dissatisfied because the police evidence led to them, the Ramseys' lawyer, Lin Wood, threatened to sue the Boulder Police Department (BPD) and the City of Boulder if Keenan did not remove the investigation from police hands. Keenan appears to have succumbed to that threat by removing the case from the BPD and assigning it to her only two BDA staff investigators, neither of whom have homicide experience. These are the BDA's only investigators and are, at the same time, responsible for all other investigations by the BDA. Supplementing her inexperienced and short staff, Keenan hired the Ramseys' friend, and nationally recognized intruder theorist, Lou Smit.
Keenan's refusal to investigate this homicide, or to thoroughly review the police evidence, or to ask for any assistance from experienced professionals was made evident in April 2003 when she endorsed U.S. District Judge Julie Carnes' opinion that the evidence in a civil libel case pointed to an intruder (which opinion was made without benefit of official investigation evidence collected and analyzed by law enforcement but instead, on unsubstantiated intruder evidence assembled by Lou Smit). "I agree with the court's conclusion," Keenan said, "that the weight of the evidence is more consistent with a theory that an intruder murdered JonBenet than it is with a theory that Mrs. Ramsey did so."
Keenan's prejudice for an intruder theory, together with:
* her appearance of surrendering to threats of a lawsuit made by a civil attorney representing the people who are "under the umbrella of suspicion"
* her actions severing the BPD from further involvement
* her reliance on inexperienced staff
* her hiring of intruder theorist Lou Smit
* her biased, public statements make clear her refusal to acknowledge the official police evidence in this case and her determination not to pursue that evidence or the suspects to whom it points. In effect, Keenan has set the suspects free.
Ramsey attorney Lin Wood sums it up perfectly: Keenan is "making it undisputed that she finds . . . an intruder killed JonBenet."
Appearing on Larry King Live on May 28, 2001, Lou Smit stated:
"I believe that perhaps they should get in fresh minds and fresh eyes, experienced people
that can take a look at this case with an unbiased view point. That means getting rid of perhaps even the detectives that are working on it now. Getting rid of Lou Smit. Let somebody else in there that can objectively take a look at that case."
We agree with Mr. Smit: The people of the State of Colorado, JonBenet Ramsey and everyone else concerned about this tragedy need "fresh eyes" and "experienced people". We also agree with Lin Wood: Turn the case over to an "unbiased" agency. That is why we, the undersigned, set forth our signature herewith in protest to the biased and unprofessional handling of JonBenet's murder investigation by Boulder District Attorney Mary Keenan and her office. We petition Governor Owens, based on the aforementioned facts, to remove this case from the hands of the Boulder District Attorney's Office. We further petition Governor Owens to assign this matter to an experienced and objective special prosecutor and staff whose subsequent investigation will be unbiased and not influenced by the Ramseys, their attorney, or their private investigators. Assigning this matter to a special prosecutor will guarantee professional handling of a homicide investigation free of bias and influence. It will guarantee full-time personnel experienced in homicide investigation and prosecution. It will guarantee resolution. It will guarantee justice for JonBenet Ramsey.

The 2012 Aussie Millions Poker Championship, currently celebrating its 10th anniversary, is taking place at the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia. The series encompasses 26 separate events, including the prestigious AUD$10,600 No Limit Holdem Main Event. Team Titan's Sam Trickett and Marvin Rettenmaier are in Australia ready to take their seats.
Last year, Sam enjoyed huge success at the Aussie Millions. He won the AUD$100,000 Challenge for a prize of AUD$1,525,000 and followed that up days later with a second place finish in the AUD$250,000 Super High Roller for a prize of AUD$1,400,000. Will he be able to repeat his success this year?
Each year Titan Poker stages satellite tournaments awarding winning players with seats to the Aussie Millions Main Event. In addition, the professional poker players of Team Titan make annual appearances at the Australian tournaments. In 2010, Canadian Sorel Mizzi finished in 3rd place in the Main Event, and he went on to become Team Titan's captain. In 2011, Sorel again made the Main Event final table and finished in 9th place.
The 2012 Australian poker championship series kicked off on January 12th with a $1,000 + $100 No Limit Hold'em event that was won by Australian Brendon Rubie. A total of 946 players participated in the event and Rubie took home the first prize of AUD$200,000 as well as an Aussie Millions gold ring.
In celebration of the Aussie Millions' 10th anniversary, a special Tournament of Champions will be held on January 21st, the day before the Main Event begins. Eight previous Main Event winners will compete for a lifetime of buy-ins to the Aussie Millions Main Event, a so-called "golden ticket." The eight previous champions who will compete will be Peter Costa (2003), Tony Bloom (2004), Jamil Dia (2005), Lee Nelson (2006), Gus Hansen (2007), Stewart Scott (2009), Tyron Krost (2010), and David Gorr (2011).

They did it differently, but on Monday and Tuesday the Ram JV picked up two conference wins.
The Ram JV baseball team beat Meridian on Monday, 2-1, then beat A&M on Tuesday, 22-6.
"Tyler Hendryx threw well and the defense had his back," said Ram coach Ryan Scott. "
Hendryx threw a 1-hitter and struck out 10 batters in four innings. Hendryx walked four, but didn't allow a hit until the 4th inning. He struck out three batters in each inning except the 1st. The only run he allowed came off a single and an error.
Shelbyville went down in order the first two innings, but cashed in during the 3rd inning. With one out, Tyler Nichols singled and stole 2nd. With two outs, Garrett Brachbill hit an RBI single. Hendryx put the ball in play and reached on an error. Brachbill scored, 2-0 Rams.
Hendryx rang up the first two batters in the Meridian 4th, but then gave up a single. The runner stole 3rd and then scored on a 2-out error. The Rams had three base runners in the 4th, but a double play and a strikeout kept them from getting insurance runs.
Shelbyville 2,Meridian 1
Shelby 002 0--2-3-2
M'dian 001 0--1-1-3
Ram stats: Brachbill 1-for-2, run, RBI; Hendryx 0-for-2, ROE, SB; Peifer 0-for-1, BB, SB; Kennell 0-for-2; Meyer 1-for-2; Stenger 0-for-2; Foster 0-for-2, ROE, SB; Nichols 1-for-1, SB, run (Smith 0-for-1, SB); White 0-for-1 (Durbin 0-for-1). Pitching (W) Hendryx 4 IP, 1 run, 1 hit, 4 BBs, 10 Ks.
M'dian stats: #26 0-for-1, BB; #28 0-for-2; #13 0-for-1 (#9 BB); #8 0-for-1 (#6 0-for-1); #10 0-for-1, BB; #16 0-for-2; #2 1-for-1, BB, SB, run; #18 0-for-2, ROE; #38 0-for-2. Pitching (L)
Tuesday was a horse of a different color, as the Rams pounded out 17 hits.
"We clobbered the ball," Coach Scott said.
Five Rams had multiple hits and five Rams scored 3 or 4 times.
Sheldon Meyer recorded 14 strikeouts in five innings. The only out he didn't make was a line out to Bart Kennell at 1st in the 1st inning. It was a wild game. A&M committed six errors and the Rams three. Meyer walked eight, but KO'd 14. A&M scored six runs, but that was dwarfed by the Ram onslaught.

Invest in Devizes land to create community orchard (From The Wiltshire Gazette and Herald)

Group's £22,000 goal to extend Drews Pond Wood
8:54am Friday 7th December 2012 in News By Lewis Cowen
The founder of the Drews Pond Wood Project, which has transformed a piece of derelict woodland into Devizes' own nature reserve, has called upon the local community to help it buy more land.
The former cricket pitch and orchard on what used to be the site of the county asylum, Roundway Hospital, has come up for sale and the volunteers need to find £22,000 to clinch the deal and link it up with the existing woodland.
Stuart Hislop, who set up the project in 1990 with his wife, Lorna, said the new land would give the community the chance to protect it from housing development and give the town its own community orchard.
He said: "We need to raise about £22,000 to buy the land and cover legal fees. We already have £5,000 promised by Devizes Area Board and a local company has matched this sum, so we are almost halfway there.
"I am sure there are other companies in the town that could find the money to support this project and earn the admiration of the people of the town in so doing.
"The maths is simple. If ten companies or firms can give £1,000 we are almost there, or 20 give £500. Equally, individuals with money who care for this town, the local area and the environment could make a commitment, as others have in the past."
The Drews Pond Wood Project has received national recognition for its work in maintaining the woodland and its environs.
It has won "outstanding" certificates in the South West in Bloom competition two years running and helped Devizes and Roundway win and retain a gold award in the contest.
The project already receives help from some local businesses. The Southgate Inn has taken it on as their charity since Ian and Sarah Wixon took over as licensees and Mrs Wixon handed over a cheque for £1,176 last week.
The sum was raised by fundraising events including a bonus ball competition and a meat raffle. Regulars Simon Berry and his partner Carol raised over £250 from their produce stall alone.
Mr Hislop said: "We cannot express enough how grateful we are for this great level of support to our work in the nature reserve.
"This is localism in action and we would like to thank everyone at The Southgate for their continued support."

For some, getting around this morning was a little easier because many of the streets had been plowed.
But for others it was a challenge.
Stacie Robertson and her family live on top of a steep hill in Hannibal. Robertson said trying to get her husband to work Wednesday was a near disaster.
"The roads hadn't been cleared yet, so the roads are still real slick to the point where on the way down the hill he about ran into another truck. It was kind of scary," said Robertson.
Robertson said living at the top of a hill makes it difficult for residents when snow hits.
"You have to decide if it is important for you to get out or not. Is it something that can wait? Luckily, for us about two blocks down from us there is a grocery store, so we'll just walk," said Robertson.
Bryan Vaughn also lives in this hilly area of Hannibal and said he and his neighbors all struggle to get around after a snow storm.
"There's a lot of them that can't get in and out at all when the snow first starts. After they plow they can, but they don't plow very good," said Vaughn.
City of Hannibal Assistant Street Supervisor Jim Hoskins agrees with Robertson and Vaughn that after the city gets pelted with snow getting around can be dangerous.
"If they get icy and slick it can get pretty treacherous," said Hoskins.
Hoskins and his crews are continuing the clean-up process and the situation has gotten a lot better this afternoon.
"Not too bad with the temperatures warming up. It's piddled off pretty good," said Hoskins.

The Walking Dead TriviaThe Walking Dead TV series is based on the comic books created by writer Robert Kirkman and artist Tony Moore. Moore was replaced as the artist by Charlie Adlard starting with issue #7. It was first published in 2003 by "Image Comics".
Rick Grimes son Carl often wears a t-shirt with a logo on it based on another Robert Kirkman character called "Science Dog". That character has a dog's head with a furry human body. He is a heroic scientist and adventurer who often saves the world from evil forces.
Only ten out of the twenty characters at the camp were in the comics. They are Rick, Lori, Andrea, Carl, Glen, Dale, Shane, Carol, Sophia, Jimmy and Amy.
The storyline of the Walking Dead TV series takes place in issues 1-6 of the comics.
Although it is obviously what they are, the zombies were never called that once in the whole first season. They were called a variety of terms including "Geeks", "Lamebrains", "Roamers", "Test Subjects" (By the CDC [Center for Disease Control]) and "Walkers".
Talk about getting into character! When lunch time came around the set the human cast members ate separately from the zombie cast members!
All of the cast members who play zombies were put through training on how to move and walk as a zombie.
The Walking Dead is the 2nd series on AMC to highlight a Winnebago. The first was "Breaking Bad" although that one is bigger than the one on The Walking Dead.
In the final two episodes of the first season fans met Dr. Edwin Jenner who was a doctor at the CDC. That character is a take-off on "Edward Jenner" who was the real-life developer of the smallpox vaccine. He is commonly referred to as the "Father of Immunology" and since Smallpox was so infectious and had such a high death rate it's generally felt that he saved more lives than anyone else in history.

As we celebrate 40 years of cycling the world, we thought we should begin the festivities in our home town. Fort Collins, Colorado is the US Headquarters for ExperiencePlus! Bicycle Tours and has a growing National and International reputation for its great variety of cycling terrain. In fact the 2011 UCI World Cycling Tour began their tour here and in 2009 Fort Collins hosted the USA Cycling Collegiate Road Nationals. Our mid-sized city of 143,986 (according to the 2010 census) features over 280 miles of bike lanes and another 30+ miles of bike trails. The city has been known to remove lanes designed for car traffic to make space for spacious bike lanes, and has also converted a few precious parking spots in the Old Town (downtown) area into bike parking. Bikes don't quite rule yet, but we're working on it. In fact, Rick Price, founding parent of ExperiencePlus! since his "retirement" has spent much of his time working on promoting safe cycling in our community.
The city is also home to some of the finest micro and craft brewers in the USA including New Belgium Brewery, the maker of Fat Tire. Many restaurants pride themselves on featuring locally grown organic produce and meats. We have a local cheese maker, MouCo, who has earned national awards; Hazel Dell mushrooms is famous throughout the region for its spectacular chanterelles and shiitake varieties. Join us in April 2012 and we'll take advantage of all that our fine city has to offer on this weekend cycling and feasting extravaganza.
Day 1: April 28 - Welcome to Fort Collins, Colorado
Highlights: Eden Valley, Horsetooth Reservoir, brewery tour, rolling hillsWe'll meet this morning between 8:30 and 9:15 AM at the ExperiencePlus! headquarters (210 E Oak St Ste C) and have a short safety talk and socializing before we start riding between 9:00 and 10 AM. We'll head west into the foothills of Fort Collins, and our first climb of three rewards us with beautiful views of Horsetooth Reservoir. We'll cruise along the reservoir to the small town of Stout, CO population 47 1/2; stop in for a beverage or snack before our next climb to the appropriately named "Perch". Once we reach Horsetooth Mountain Park we'll enjoy a long downhill to Masonville, CO -- enjoy a step back in time with a visit to the general store. Don't miss the jail cell on the south end of the building and stroll across the street to see the latest styles in western leather goods. Back on the bikes we are headed to the idyllic Eden Valley, home to organic farms and an eclectic mix of locals. If you are feeling strong you can extend the ride to Carter Lake but the rest of us will head back to Fort Collins along the Glade Road and then back to Horsetooth Reservoir. Whichever you choose remember we have a brewery tour scheduled this afternoon. We'll celebrate 40 years in style with a special birthday dinner tonight! Distance: 51 miles.
Lodging: Armstrong Hotel
Day 2: April 29 - Loop Ride from Fort Collins
Highlights: Bingham Hill, Bellvue Bean, Richards LakeEnjoy a relaxing morning and breakfast with your fellow cyclists and the ExperiencePlus! family. Our ride today takes us northwest along the Poudre River bike path to the base of Bingham Hill, which is actually two hills, but who is counting? The views from the top of the second hill take in the entire Pleasant Valley, home to green pastures and horses - the setting is bucolic and peaceful. Bellevue has always been a popular destination for local cyclists and now with the opening of the Bellvue Bean, the spot is just that much sweeter. Stop in for a coffee, pastry and enjoy the hospitality. Back on the road we'll head east through more farmland and neighborhoods as we loop back to Fort Collins. We'll plan to be back in Fort Collins around noon and you'll be able to grab a shower before heading to the airport or home. Distance: 23 miles.

Buffalo Bills defensive end Mario Williams isn't at training camp after leaving St. John's Fisher College on Sunday to have a mystery foot injury examined, according to Tim Graham of The Buffalo News.
Answers about the injury are apparently tough to come by, even for Bills head coach Doug Marrone, who told reporters on Monday that he first heard about the injury on Sunday after Williams was already "off-campus." Marrone also said that he couldn't provide details about the extent of the injury, how it occurred or which foot was injured.
Although the injury was not detected in the pre-camp physical, Marrone told Graham that he endorses Williams' absence from the practice field:
"His foot was sore," Marrone said. "We're not going to make any mistakes about it. We're going to make sure that everything's fine. Our doctor's are evaluating him. Where he is or where he goes, I'm not going to talk about that."
Williams received a six-year, $96 million deal from the Bills in 2012 including another $4 million available through incentives. After a slow start to his first season with the team, Williams finished the year with a team-leading 10.5 sacks.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House will miss the midnight Monday deadline lawmakers set for voting to avoid the "fiscal cliff."
House Republicans notified lawmakers that the chamber will vote Monday evening on other bills. They say that will be their only votes of the day.
President Barack Obama and Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell said Monday they are near a deal to avoid wide-ranging tax increases and spending cuts -- the fiscal cliff -- that take effect with the new year.
Both men said they were still bargaining over whether -- and how -- to avoid $109 billion in cuts to defense and domestic programs that take effect on Wednesday.
It remained unclear whether the Senate would vote Monday.
Congress could pass later legislation retroactively blocking the tax hikes and spending cuts.

Cause of fire in vacant Manchester building under investigation
When the first fire crews arrived, Pelletier said there was a "pretty good volume of fire" and a "big ball of fire coming" out the window in the front.
Flames were extending up both the interior and exterior of the building. Firefighters, in addition to battling the blaze in the dark, had to use extreme caution to avoid holes cut in the second-story floor, according to Pelletier.
The building, designed with four apartments, was built in 1910 and features "balloon construction," meaning there are no fire breaks in the framing which allows flames to get into the walls and run free from the basement to the top peak.
Pelletier said fire crews cut through the roof in the front to get at the hidden flames.
No one was injured.
Fire crews contained the blaze to the building, although the fire's heat melted siding on an apartment building at 303 Hanover St. The fire was under control about 50 minutes after it was first reported, but crews did not clear the scene until about 1:20 a.m.
The building is owned by 305 Hanover LLC, with Doug Jones the contact person, according to Pelletier. Damage is estimated at between $80,000 and $100,000.
