Poured into a 13 oz tulip glass, not sure of the bottle date. Pours a bright orange red, with a one inch off white head that leaves behind massive gobs of lace.
Smell tangerine, pine, hard candy, caramel, and grapefruit.
Taste follows pretty well, some nice earthy hops and plenty of sweet malt to balance it out and a hit of grapefruit lingers in the finish.
Body is medium large, nice amount of life, a bit dry, and very drinkable.
Overall this is a nice IPA, fairly tame/balanced, a great starter IPA. Once again a little local nano brewery impresses me.

Bottle from the brewery open house.
Pours a slightly hazy reddish copper color with a huge frothy bubbly off white head that persists forever. Earthy, pine, citrus, and stone fruits meld with light caramel and bready malts in the aroma. The flavor holds a bit more maltiness than the aroma suggested. Solid bready caramel base with an earthy citrusy flavor. Moderate hop bitterness. Medium body with a moderate level of carbonation and a slick resinous mouthfeel. A bit old school with a heavier caramel and toffee malty presence, but the use of newer hop varieties make this one stand out. Nice brew.

From the 650 ml. bottle. Sampled on March 2, 2014.
The pour is a deeper amber color with a maple or mahogany tone leading up to a modest off-white head that lingers. Fairly good clarity.
The aroma begins with a sweet profile followed by the earthy and slightly floral hop character of an IPA. There is a definitive dark fruit character in this as well and not the zingy type most associated with IPA's.
The body is medium and smooth.
The taste begins with a fascinating sweet and caramel malt note and then the mild bitterness comes in to linger dryly at the end. The malt character tends to be more forward than the hop character so IPA hopheads might be disappointed by the mild bitterness. But this is actually the way I enjoy my IPA's.

Time in Balance by Dianne Gulezian
Time in Balance
by Dianne Gulezian
Reception: May 4, 4-5pm
Artist Statement
Time in Balance is an exhibit that looks at the timelessness and expanse of our natural landscapes. I am an oil painter who focuses my work on the movement of light and color to achieve a feeling akin to a surreal dream. It is in the beauty of our environment, and in the life that surrounds and connects us, where I find inspiration. When I paint, it is not only what I see, but also what is felt. It is this that I strive to evoke and manifest on canvas. I invite you to share with me the beauty of these contemplative landscapes. Thanks for the visit.
I was born and raised in a small town outside of Bangor, Maine, I spent my childhood with an abundance of natural beauty and inspiration. A graduate of the Univerisity of Maine at Orono, I received my BA in Psychology with a minor in Art. My adventures have taken me to many places including a move to Salt Lake City, Utah in 2001 followed by several years spent in Nashville, Tennessee. In early 2008, I decided once again to make Salt Lake my home. I now live in a beautiful neighborhood with a wonderfully supportive community, and having traveled most of the country, I find this little piece of heaven just perfect.

Is Stress Contagious? The Health Risks of Secondhand Stress
How "Tension Spillovers" Can Affect You
Of course, anyone who has ever experienced secondhand stress doesn't need research to know it's real. "I feel like a big tight knot," says Anne, 37, who works at a Detroit radio station as a traffic manager. "I can never relax." With a husband who just started working again after a period of unemployment and an officemate whose boyfriend died unexpectedly, Anne is doing double duty on the stress front. She has to work extra hard in the office to make sure nothing goes wrong that could upset her coworker, while her husband's new job worries mean that he's perpetually preoccupied. But more than coping with their edginess, Anne says it's her feeling of helplessness that stresses her, since she can't make them happier. "To compensate for feeling that I can't do anything for them, I try to do everything for them, in a sense," she says. "I'm tired and tapped out, but I worry that if I ease up, everything will go to hell."
Wanting to lighten a stressed-out person's load is nonetheless a common response. Rachel, 38, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, wants to help her husband, whose job has become, she says, "all-consuming" since he began working at a start-up company. He's frazzled during the day and always brings work home at night. Though Rachel tries to help by taking on his household chores and letting him sleep in on weekends, she is "starting to feel like a single parent," she says. "My husband is so preoccupied, he doesn't have anything left to give. I'm tired, too, and I'm lonely, but I just want everyone to be happy."
Certainly, there's nothing wrong with trying to protect and comfort someone. But when doing so increases your primary stress load, it can jeopardize your relationship with the very person you want to help. If your assistance goes unnoticed, you may find yourself in the confounding position of resenting the person you set out to assist. Spouses, who expect mutual support, often find themselves in this predicament. "I know he's under pressure and when my husband's short with me, I try to let it go," says Rachel. "But you can pretend the elephant isn't in the room for only so long, and then you have a blowup. Inevitably, though, I end up feeling horrible for adding to his stress."
In marriages this "tension spillover," as sociologists call it, may become a stress spiral in which everybody suffers more and more. "A chronic stressor like a demanding job can make a person much more reactive to other little stressors and more primed for a fight," explains Elaine Wethington, PhD, an associate professor of human development and sociology at Cornell University, in Ithaca, New York. Your husband, say, may be on edge after a difficult day at work and blow up when the kids are late for dinner. The next day, he's even more likely to overreact to minor problems on the job.

Visualizing the world's populationAugust 31, 2006 8:00 pm | Award Winners
High-resolution population distribution data are critical to successfully address important issues ranging from socio-environmental research to public health to homeland security. Commonly available census population data are severely constrained both in space and time and do not capture the population dynamics as functions of space and time. To that end, researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (Oak Ridge, Tenn.) have developed the LandScan 2004 Global Population Database. Land-Scan describes 24-hour average population distributions for every 30 arc second (approximately 1 km x 1 km) grid cell covering the world.

The University of Findlay football team earned their second straight win to improve to 3-2 on the year with a 38-21 win over McKendree on Saturday, Oct. 5 in Lebanon, Ill.
The Oilers offense was in high gear as they rolled up 621 yards of total offense in the victory. They also tied a school record with 33 first downs.
Findlay's defense also had their best outing of the season, holding the Bearcats to only 293 yards.
Junior quarterback Verlon Reed completed 24-of-36 passing attempts for 335 yards and a touchdown while also rushing four times for 52 yards.
Red-shirt sophomore running back Daiquone Ford gashed the Bearcat defense for a career-high 229 rushing yards on 30 attempts. The Myrtle Beach, S.C. native also scored three rushing touchdowns and added two receptions for 22 yards in the game.
Junior wide receiver Lloyd Henry caught eight passes for 109 yards and a score while senior tight end Jaryd Brown recorded five catches for 65 yards.
Senior wide receiver Seth White made five receptions for 53 yards and moved into second place all-time with 137 career receptions. His total is only two shy of breaking the school record for receptions in a career as Jeff Rowe (2000-03) and Rick Hatfield (1976-79) share the top spot with 138 catches.
Freshman running back Anthony Linnear rushed six times for 20 yards and a touchdown while red-shirt freshman wide receiver Dylan Blunk made three receptions for 52 yards in the win.
Freshman defensive back Tory Clark had a big day in the return game as well for the Oilers as he racked up 128 yards on three attempts, one of which went for 71 yards.
Senior linebacker Trevor Smith paced the defense with nine tackles while red-shirt freshman linebacker Brad Fenton made seven stops.
Junior defensive lineman Kevin Brewton had two sacks while sophomore defensive lineman Luke Fleming and red-shirt freshman defensive lineman Mitchell Campbell had one sack apiece.
The Oilers will continue their road swing next week when they travel to Tiffin, Ohio for a 1:30 p.m. contest against Tiffin University.

VIDEO: Watch little Jack Pike ride a bike for first time following life-changing operation
Updated 1:39pm Friday 21st February 2014 in News
JUST four weeks after undergoing life-changing surgery to help him walk unaided, Jack Pike has cycled for the first time.
Five-year-old Jack, of Penhill, suffers from spastic diplegia cerebral palsy, which causes stiffness to his leg muscles, making it very difficult for him to walk.
He underwent pioneering surgery on his spine in Bristol four weeks ago, more than two years after his parents Kylie and Gary launched a fundraising campaign to raise the £24,000 needed for the operation.
And now, he is making use of his first bike.
Mum Kylie said: "He is doing so good. It is unreal that only four weeks ago he had it done, and he is just doing so well at everything already.
"He doesn't get a lot of pain, just bad spasms in his legs but is on medication for that. He likes to show everyone the scar on his back."
As the Pikes were refused NHS funding for the £24,000 surgery, they launched a campaign to secure the sum.
Thanks to the help of generous Swindonians, they eventually reached the £32,000 mark.

JQuery/Ajax Post Code Address Finder
Hi guys I'm looking for a JQuery Ajax postcode address finder for my customer details form so that they can enter their postcode and a pop-up with a number of suggested addresses for that postcode will show.
Does anyone know if I can do this for free, have already found a few pay-for ones?
Also I imagine there is some way of doing it with the Gdata Api(with GOOGLE MAPS), if anyone has done this can you send me the url to set this up because I find that unless you pass the exact parameters, it's very difficult to get Gdata to work and its very often not the parameter format that the API doc says to use.
thanks in advance"Persistence is the path to perfection"

My Way: Rebekah Borucki
Rebekah "Bex" Borucki is a mother-of-three, a Certified Personal Trainer, and an urban farming hobbyist raising backyard chickens and growing her own organic garden in a small urban space. Her popular workout series on YouTube - "You Have 4 Minutes" - shows people how to fit effective daily exercise routines into the busiest schedules. Her message is all about "organic fitness" and "muscle without meat". You can find out more about Bex' work and family on her website, BexLife.com.At risk of sounding like I'm making a bad attempt at sounding philosophical, the only way I can really describe my daily activities is that they are, at once, always and never the same. As a business owner, a mother of three very active children, wife to a freelance music photographer, and guardian to 10 backyard chickens, one housecat, one stray cat, one feisty little turtle and 2 fuzzy gerbils, my chores are endless and my days are reliably unpredictable.
My Way: Bex
Thursday - is a photo shoot day. In addition to running my own fitness business, BexLife.com, I also work for my husband, Justin Borucki, a music & celebrity photographer. My dining room is filled with photo equipment all ready to be packed into the family/business minivan and I'm ready to start my morning chores. The following list of tasks is my everyday, so I'll only bore you with this once: wake up to clucking chickens outside my window at 6:00am, feed the chickens, water the gardens, throw in a load of laundry, fold and put away the laundry from the night before, unload the dishwasher, wake up the kids, prepare breakfast (today it's organic eggs from my backyard chickens and fresh fruit), pack up my essentials for the photo shoot, feed the family, clean up after the family, rush out the door.
Today we're in upstate New York at the home of Funkmaster Flex, shooting him with his brand new Harley Davidson custom motorcycle for Rides Magazine. I know it's going to be a long hot day, so I've packed extra bananas, blueberries, cashews and lots of water. I always have snacks on hand – one part because I'm a mom and one part because being an active person on a mostly raw diet requires eating a lot of light small meals and snacks. This will be my entire diet for the rest of the day. The shoot goes well and all involved seem happy. It's never fun working in the hot sun, but I really can't complain about a job that allows me to be surrounded by the most creative people all the time, including my adorable husband. The day ends with our long drive back to New Jersey by way of Brooklyn to drop off our photo assistant. We only have to work outside the home a handful of days each month, and I'm so grateful that we have careers that allow us to be home with our children most of the time. It's only been 10 hours since I've seen the kids, but I can't wait to cuddle them when I get home!
Friday - This Friday is a very special day. I'm packing my bags (and my 2-banana breakfast) for the weekend to stay in our Brooklyn place, because I'm starting my Strala Yoga teacher training with celebrity yoga instructor, Tara Stiles. If you're at all familiar with me or with my YouTube videos, you'll know that I'm two things: [1] a very aggressive fitness trainer and [2] a banana ADDICT. I discovered Tara Stiles on YouTube during a personal video series I was making about my exploration of different fitness options. I wanted to balance my practice and explore the "softer side of Bex." After many visits to several yoga studios and only one visit to hers, I quickly realized that Strala is my yoga home. What I also discovered is that yoga is not at all about being "soft." I've never been challenged like this before. The jury is still out on whether or not I will begin teaching yoga after this, but I've already integrated it into my personal and client practices. To keep my energy up for class, I get a "Black Beauty" smoothie from Great Jones Spa and do a Whole Foods "raw haul", picking up blackberries, nuts, grapes, apricots, bananas, blueberries, and coconut water.
After two intense classes and buckets of sweat left on my yoga mat, I meet up with my very good friend, Michael Perrine, from Gravity East Village for dinner at Quintessence. Holy Buddha Bowl! I am in complete raw bliss, and I can't believe this is my first time here. I also sample the raw "cream cheese" nori rolls and their pecan pie. The night ends with me, back in the Brooklyn apartment, editing videos late into the night and indulging in one of my favorite chick flicks, Legends of the Fall.
Saturday - It's Saturday morning, and it's time to make more yoga (as Tara would say)! If I'm not eating my backyard chicken eggs, I always have a fruit breakfast. I snack on my leftover fruit from my giant Whole Foods raw haul and hit the road for more yoga and my first official teacher training class at Strala. I've already made fast friends with a couple classmates, so I'm excited to get to work. The group is so diverse and beautiful and talented – the intimidation level should be high, but I feel so comfortable with this group of strangers. Today's diet will be more raw fruits and nuts from Whole Foods and one organic Greek yogurt. We are surprised in class with an impromptu assignment – get up and teach for 5 minutes! I teach in my usual aggressive style with emphasis on poses that require lots of strength. I power through the 5 minutes and quietly rejoice when it's over.Michael Perrine is my favorite NYC hangout friend, so I call him again for some afternoon eats. Two classmates tag along and we trek over to Liquiteria for juice and lunch. My pineapple and green juice is just what I need on this stifling-hot New York day. I love that I can walk down any downtown block and find something healthy and real to eat. The local grocery store in the little town in New Jersey where we live during the week doesn't offer one organic option in any of their departments. It's a huge injustice that so few Americans have access to real food.
The Universe works in pretty amazing ways, and today it brought Dhrumil right in front of me as I was noshing on my avocado wrap. What are the chances that we would run into each other, as I'm blogging for WeLikeItRaw.com? Today, I'm in love with the Universe and it's "mysterious ways."
After I get my fill of juice, avocado and great conversation, Michael and I head over to Gravity East Village to make a video for my newest project, RoadtoRaw – a guided detox program that includes a 14-Day Raw Food Cleanse and a 7-Day Juice Feast. My primary audience and client-base is young and mainstream, and I'm thrilled to be able to introduce them to the miraculous effects of colonics and a raw diet. Making videos with Michael is always fun – he has a great sense of humor and an incredibly warm spirit. I head back to Brooklyn for a late-night boardgame tournament with friends. I tote along gifts of raw treats for everyone to share and we snack on fruit, pita bread and hummus between our heated Catchphrase and Boggle battles.
Sunday - Experiencing life as a single girl in NYC is fun for a couple days, but I'm anxious to get back to my family tomorrow after more teacher training. My body is sore, but my heart is soaring with excitement over all the amazing things that are happening in my life right now. I get back to the empty apartment around 1AM, check my business email, answer some client questions and fall asleep around 2AM, hoping to get in a good 6 hours sleep before I start another day. In addition to a full day of yoga tomorrow, I have morning plans to meet-up with Danielle Charboneau, one of my Road To Raw partners who is on vacation in NYC from Los Angeles. Busy busy busy... and lovin' it!My name's Bex and this is My Way.
Bex currently lives in both Brooklyn and NJ, with her husband Justin, and three beautiful children. Check out her website BexLife, friend her up on Facebook, or catch her on Twitter. All photos by Justin.

|Lady Beavers fall in soccer OT
|Wednesday, October 23, 2013 12:30 AM
By Ryan Schadewald
Sports information assistant
NORTH MANCHESTER, Ind. - The Bluffton University women's soccer team suffered a tough 3-2 overtime loss on Tuesday as they hit the road to North Manchester, Ind., to take on the top team in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference, the Manchester University Spartans.
After senior forward Megan Moreo (Spencerville/Delphos Jefferson) tied the match with less than seven minutes remaining to force overtime, the home team netted the match-winning goal with just over a minute to play in the first extra session.
With the win, the Spartans improved to 9-6-1 and 5-1 in HCAC play. The Beavers fell to 4-8 overall and 2-4 in the Heartland Conference.
After the first half ended in a scoreless tie, the Beavers kicked off the scoring in the 49th minute as freshman midfielder Kristen Tropf (Findlay/Van Buren) buried her team-leading ninth goal of the season for a 1-0 lead.
The Spartans did not take long to respond, however, as Brandy Krousse scored her eighth goal of the season in the 56th minute, with the assist from Katelyn Barta.
Just five minutes later, junior Amber Kent scored her second of the season for the Spartans to give them their first lead of the contest.
It would take nearly 30 minutes for the Beavers but Moreo broke through to tie the match with her third goal of the season from fellow senior Aimee Whitmer (Grand Rapids/Otsego).
However, despite getting three shots in the first three minutes of the overtime period, they could not find the back of the net before Barta capitalized, giving the home team a 3-2 win.
The stats showed just how even the two teams played as the Spartans outshot the Beavers by just one, 18-17. Senior goalkeeper Maggie Armstrong (Vevay, Ind./Switzerland) was in net for the loss and picked up six saves for Bluffton.
The Beavers will hit the road again this Saturday as they take on the Franklin College Grizzlies, who currently sit at 8-4 overall but are just a half-game ahead of the Beavers in the HCAC standings.
Oct. 29, the Bluffton women will return home to start off rivalry week when they take on the Defiance College Yellow Jackets at the Sears Complex. Kickoff is currently set for 4 p.m.!

The Puranas are ancient Hindu texts eulogizing deities through stories told by one person to another. They cover creation of the universe to destruction and the genealogies of kings, heroes, sages and gods. The 10-year project has been dubbed Puranantargat Itihaas.The Sangh is also planning to put together the history of each one of the over 670 districts in the country, as well as the history of the over 600 tribal communities in India. The organisation is planning to tap local historians who can write the history of their districts, providing them all possible help.An organisation linked to the RSS, the Akhil Bharatiya Itihaas Sankalan Yojna (ABISY), has arranged a workshop for over 100 historians in Palampur (Banaskantha, Gujarat) on August 22-24 for its Puranantargat Itihaas project. The historians called are mostly professors of history in various universities associated with the ABISY and its office-bearers.

"Brooklyn Boys" Spoofs "Brooklyn Girls"

Weird album of the week is Black Mountain's self-titled debut. I'd call it "psych-drone-sludge" except it's more tuneful and lively than those words imply. For instance, you could label the Velvets or the Doors "psych-drone-sludge" but that wouldn't communicate how they shaped their swamp into rhythm and song. Black Mountain aren't of Velvets-Doors quality, but they've got at least one very good track, "No Hits," which starts with what sounds like electronica played on regular instruments, drums and percussion doing the interplay-of-metronomical-pulses thing while a sax deliberately squawks outside its range to produce hums and buzzes and faux feedback. The boy singer has a Neil Young quaver, the girl singer a Melanie quaver; they do harmonies that stick like peanut butter, and the thing just keeps building in intensity. The lyrics fall between evocative and evasive: The guy sings "Lemme holler against the rock star dream" without giving any reason why. And oddly enough "Heart of Snow," the song that follows, has a chord pattern not dissimilar to Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone." (For those of you off on your own mountain, "Since U Been Gone" is the Top 40 airplay leader so far in 2005, and it's great.) "Heart of Snow" follows its own diffuse muse, howeverwounded dove rather than I'm so movin' onwhich costs it both poppiness and force, though it's interesting for how the Melanie girl goes goth spiritual (that is, makes goth sounds without mouthing goth sentiments, and adds a touch of the gospel choir). Other tracks range from punky campfire sing-alongs to wouldn't it be fun to write our own version of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida."
Although "No Hits" has tight harmonies, on other tracks the two vocalists sing slightly out of sync with one another, which is how they create the campfire feel. This has a congenial effect (as if to say, "Come sing with us"), even when the accompaniment is a doomy metal riff or a dark drone. Overall, Black Mountain prowl the borderland between "tight" and "loose," though not yet with the excitement of tight-loose predecessors like the Airplane and Stooges ("Bicycle Man" on their Druganaut EP cops the rhythm from "No Fun"). Probably what's at issue for this band isn't the lure of stardomthey're touring with Coldplay this summer, which is a peculiar strategy for avoiding famebut the lure of songcraft, whether that's within their reach and whether it would enrich or impoverish their sludge.

NBC is averaging more than 3 million viewers during the playoffs, an increase of 38% compared to last year. NBC and the NBC Sports Network are combining to average 1.191 million viewers for each game, an increase of 7% versus last year.

The state's new rural fire prevention fee doesn't affect residents living within the Murrieta city limits, but folks in La Cresta and in other communities right outside the city will have to pay the $115 fee, which will pay for Cal Fire fire prevention programs. Wednesday night, I covered a town hall meeting on the fee hosted by Assemblyman Kevin Jeffries.
Jeffries is challenging Supervisor Bob Buster for Buster's seat on the board of supervisors in November. So, in fairness, I put a call in to Buster to get his view on the fee. Buster gave me a few quotes, and said he didn't feel Jeffries had done enough to address the problem of people building homes in areas at high risk of wildfires.
Well, Jeffries says he has. Here's the email he sent me this morning:
Thanks for covering the public meeting on the State fire fee (tax) article. It's important that the public learn about the fee, the regulatory timelines and the options they have for compliance (and to appeal) while it works it way through the courts. I felt the attendance was very good as were the questions.
I have to admit however that I'm a little disappointed you utilized the article to promote Bob Buster's political views of the issue – even though he did not attend. Had I been allowed to respond to his false statement in the article (not addressing future fire risks) I could have pointed out the truth – that I did in fact vote in Favor of SB 1241 (Kehoe) related to Land Use planning and fire safety requirements for new development in high fire danger areas. Maybe the correction can be included in any PE coverage of his townhall meeting last night.
Otherwise – I appreciate the PE covering the fire tax meeting!
Take care,
Kevin Jeffries

Involving Your Homeschooled Child in Sports
Something that many parents worry about when they choose to homeschool their children is whether or not they'll be able to participate in sports. There are ways around this if your child is inclined to play sports of some sort so that being able to take part will be possible. A lot of it depends on what sort of sport your child is interested in.
For example, if your child is interested in more of a solo sport such as tennis or golf, it's rather simple to find a way for him or her to enjoy that sport. It's entirely possible to find lesson instructors for both of these sports. These private lessons can be weekly, daily or every other day through the week. If you're a member of a country club or something along those lines, there will be more opportunities for your kids to get in some competition.
If you don't happen to be club members, try contacting the local YMCA or YWCA and find out what sort of programs they have available that your kids can get involved in. Many of them offer soccer, softball, swimming and other types of team sports that you can enroll your children in. For a nominal fee, they can play at their favorite sports for several weeks.
Other options are martial arts, dancing, and gymnastics. As each child has his or her own preference and interests, you may have to try out a few
different things before hitting on the one that really lights up their world. Many times, there can be more than one choice when it comes to sport like activities.
In addition, there's always the chance that your children will decide that a particular sport is something that they really love. When that happens, you'll have to do a bit more research to see if you can get them on a team that will be noticed. If it's something like football or basketball, you'll probably have more issues with finding a team that will allow them to join it.
In fact, you may have to give up homeschooling entirely when they hit high school just so they can become a part of the sport they so love. But by then they should be able to handle a public school if you've done your job right.
If your children love a more solitary sport such as golf or tennis, homeschooling them can offer them more free time to practice and perfect their skills. There are colleges and universities that have golf teams. Your children may even be eligible for sports scholarships at some schools.
Gymnastics is something else that can become a very important part of life for participants. There's even an Olympic team for gymnasts, both female and male. Dancing can be difficult but it can also be the beginning of a dream for many and lead to a career that many work very hard to achieve.
No matter what sport your children may be interested in, you can help them to be a part of it and realize whatever dream they may have.

After more than a year of planning, promoting and event hosting for Shaker's 100th birthday, committee members, honorary chairs, volunteers and their leader received moments of praise and recognition Monday night.
Shaker Heights City Council passed a resolution to express appreciation for the chairs and members of the Centennial Steering Committee and Anne Williams, the woman the city hired to coordinate a year's worth of activities to celebrate a century of Shaker Heights history.
Volunteers and the committee members packed the crowd at the council meeting, and gave Williams a standing ovation when she received an inscribed copy of the approved resolution.
"It couldn't have been done without the support of everyone in the community, the city council and the mayor," Williams said. "It was a great year."
The lengthy list of events Williams helped coordinate includes the Shaker Birthday Celebration, the "Shaker Not Stirred" party, and the unveiling of the new stadium.
Before that, Williams worked with the committee to manage the budget, raise funds, secure venues and recruit volunteers.
"This council expresses its appreciation to Anne Williams, honorary chairs and members of the Centennial Steering Committee, and the many resident volunteers for their hard work and dedication in making the Shaker Heights 2012 Centennial Celebration a resounding success," the resolution reads.

Tony Hawk is the perfect example of creativity and innovation in skateboarding. And as long as the Tony Hawk video games have been around, you can see the same qualities in the riders featured in each game. So for the new game it's only fitting to see the addition of Alex Olson. Alex is known for taking a spot and making it his own. He's not the loudest guy at the spot, showing up and making a scene. But when he gets on his board you can't miss him. With unique lines and style that can't be matched, Alex just made this game a lot more fun. But don't get too excited to turn on the game and back smith like the man himself. He's a secret character in the game so you gotta' work to unlock him.
The new Tony Hawk: RIDE is getting a lot of attention because of it's game play and board. But don't overlook the fact that Tony snuck one of skateboardings greatest into the game – Christian Hosoi. Christian is one of the driving forces in the 80's that made skateboarding what it is today. So, you can't have a Quiksilver 80's level without being able to play as Hosoi. Get ready to go back in time and re-create some of the epic battles between Tony Hawk and Christian Hosoi.

Media event set for September 9, launch likely ~10 days later.
Unofficial Lightning USB Cables and Adapters Launching Soon at Significant Discounts
The company is now pressing forward with its efforts to release accessories based on these unofficial Lightning connectors to the public, introducing a new Lightning to USB cable.
iPhone5mod's cable is priced at $9.90, nearly 50% less than the official $19 cable from Apple. Shipping for iPhone5mod's cable starts at $4 per item to the United States.
iPhone5mod tells us that orders will begin shipping on November 3.
The company has also introduced its own version of Apple's cabled Lightning to 30-pin Adapter. iPhone5mod's version is priced at $19.90 plus $4 shipping to the U.S., compared to Apple's $39 price tag.
Finally, iPhone5mod is launching what it calls a Lightning 3-in-1 Starter Kit Set, bundling a USB cable, 30-pin adapter, and a Lightning dock for $39.90 plus $7 shipping to the U.S.
Both items are currently being quoted 10-14 days processing time plus international shipment, which can take a fair amount of time at the cheapest rates.
iPhone5mod's Lightning 3-in-1 Starter Kit
A chip-level teardown of Apple's official Lightning cable has revealed that while the connector does require several chips to handle the dynamic assignment of the eight contact pins, it does not appear to contain any true authentication features to prevent unauthorized connections from being made. At best, a Texas Instruments chip found in the connector provides only basic security in the form of a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) to ensure data integrity.
Apple is reportedly keeping tight control over official Lightning connectors, and has yet to officially certify any third-party accessory company to manufacture Lightning products. Apple will be holding a conference with members of its MFi Program early next month to provide details on Lightning integration.

i'll take the real thing and not risk breaking my phone
maybe if it was $3 including shipping and a guarantee to work
The apple able is not a 10 cent cable. THere is considerable amount of electronics inside the end shells. In the 30 pin version there is an entire audio interface inside with A/D converters. Basically there is a tiny computer inside the cable.
Next we can ask if this is a smart design or not. Bt it is not a simple cable.
Ok... so why is a $1 cable $20?
Since when have we started paying $30 for cables?
Not old enough to remember SCSI drives, eh? A SCSI cable and a terminator would set you back more than this. WAAY more.
I see this connector and its associated technology as an acceptable transition to a future-proof(ish) design. What did you guys want? Mini/Micro USB? And what? an HDMI port on top of that? and an SD slot? and a VGA port... and...
The old giant connector limited their hardware designs and was cumbersome to work with. The new connector is small, elegant, and effectively transmogrifies to be whatever they need it to be; possibly adapting to connection standards that aren't even out in the wild yet.
Yeah, it sucks that if you want to buy the new devices, you need to move to the new connector. If that's having such an impact on your life that it is a major concern, I'm sorry.
My $.02.
I have never bought an Apple made accessory yet. I like most of their products, but man they gouge you on accessories.
Since when have we started paying $30 for cables?
Their HDMI adapter for Lightning is $50 (up $10 from the 30 pin version). It's 25% the cost of buying an iPhone on contract.
I understand Apple is a business but this truly is disgusting.
Apple is turning into Best Buy :mad:
why is a 10 cent cable $20 ?

Capitals 5, Bruins 3
No Alex Ovechkin. No Nicklas Backstrom. No Mike Green.
Since they were drafted (Ovechkin and Green in 2004, Backstrom in 2006), the Caps haven't played a single game without at least one of their "three best players" in the lineup. Needless to say, the storyline for Tuesday night's game against the defending Stanley Cup Champion Bruins (and quite probably the next two games as well) was going to be about whether or not the trio's teammates in the lineup would step up in their absence. And, with a few minor exceptions - and one huge (but at the same time pint-sized) exclamation point - they did just that en route to a somewhat improbable 5-3 win.
Sabres 2, Devils 1 (SO)
From Kevin Sellathamby of New Jersey Devils blog In Lou We Trust:
Tonight's game could best be described in one word- unfortunate. The game itself wasn't unfortunate- rather incredibly boring (So much so that TG even had to say that it was terrible on twitter). What happened to the Devils was. The Devils outshot the Sabres. They had the better chances. They had a PPG. Yet all they managed was one goal and one point. The Sabres only goal came on an unfortunate bounce off a stanchion right to Jordan Leopold. Everything that could've went wrong went wrong for the Devils. And they lost to the worst team in the east. Going into the All-Star break, the Devils are in a 3 game losing streak, without their best defenseman. Who knows what's going to happen now?
Maple Leafs 4, Islanders 3 (OT)
From Dominik of New York Islanders blog Lighthouse Hockey:
Maybe competent officiating changes how this 4-3 OT loss goes; you never know.
The Islanders had to waste four minutes preventing the angelic Leafs from getting a shot on their powerplays, while the refs patently ignored or missed multiple highsticks to Islanders faces as well as an absurd Luke Schenn crosscheck to Nino Niederreiter's back away from the play after Nino had the gall to legally bodycheck two of Schenn's teammates.
But this is your NHL, and it even carried through to the winning goal, set up by the very player (Mikhail Grabovski) who had just interfered with Matt Moulson in the Leafs zone to create the 2-on-1 that won the game.
Rangers 3, Jets 0
From Bryan Winters of New York Rangers blog Blueshirt Banter:
The New York Rangers will head into the All-Star break with the lead in the Eastern Conference. They came away with a huge 3-0 win over the Winnipeg Jets tonight, and Henrik Lundqvist earned his 40th career shutout along with the win. That shutout moves Hank into the number two spot for all-time shutouts for the Rangers.
The Rangers didn't wait long at all in this one, and Ryan Callahan got them on the board just four minutes into the first period. Anton Stralman got a quick, high, slap shot in on Ondrej Pavalec that wound up squeaking through his pads. Callahan located the puck and slammed home the rebound for the 1-0 lead.
Shortly after, Mike Rupp and Chris Thorburn exchanged blows along the boards. Both players got in their shots, but Thorburn walked away holding his shoulder. The Rangers went into the locker room holding a 1-0 lead, one which they would eventually expand.
Lightning 4, Blue Jackets 2
From Clark J Brooks at Tampa Bay Lightning blog Raw Charge:
The Tampa Bay Lightning defeated the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-2 Tuesday night at the Tampa Bay Times Forum, their fourth win in a row.
In a season that has been marked by a search for consistency, one thing you've been able to count on fairly regularly is for the Lightning to play up or down to the level of whatever opponent they're facing. Good, solid efforts against league powerhouses have frequently been offset by dismal, sloppy outings against non-contenders. So coming off a three game stretch featuring wins over the defending world champions and two teams jostling for playoff spots in the Western Conference, how would the Bolts fare against the team with the worst record in the league in the last game before the extended All-Star break?
Not great maybe, but certainly not too bad.
Stars 1, Ducks 0
From Brad Gardner of Dallas Stars blog Defending Big D:
On a night when the Dallas Stars desperately needed to break their five game losing streak they recorded their lowest shots on goal total of the year at 16 and scored just once. They also received Kari Lehtonen's first shutout of the year for a 1-0 win and a badly needed two points that stops the bleeding and sends them into the All-Star break on a positive note.
The win stops a thee game home losing streak for the Stars and ends a nine game point streak (8-0-1) for the Ducks.
Wild 3, Avalanche 2
From BReynolds of Minnesota Wild blog Hockey Wilderness:
Well... road losing streak broken. A goal from the blue line. Offensive zone pressure. Outshooting the opponent. You have to bet Chuck Fletcher will hear from Brendan Shanahan about this. Clearly a suspension is due for those rule violations.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the Wild have won two games. In a row. And the second one came on the road. The only explanation is that the Mayans are right, and we're only here for a few more months. The Wild played a pretty decent game, save for maybe the first five minutes or so. It looked ugly for a few minutes to start this one, but they pulled it together and pulled out the big win and back into eighth in West.
Sharks 1, Flames 0
From The Neutral at San Jose Sharks blog Fear the Fin:
The Sharks have rarely been outchanced this season by teams outside of the Western Conference's "Big Four" of Detroit, Vancouver, St. Louis and Chicago but they were edged out on the chance count tonight and the margin had the potential to be wider if it wasn't for a stellar second period in which San Jose allowed just one Flames scoring chance.
After a relative snoozefest through two periods, the game really opened up in the third with the Flames dominating early in the frame before the Sharks generated a glut of good looks at the net before and after the goal by Benn Ferriero. Calgary pressured with a few chances to tie the game late in the third, including two opportunities by Jarome Iginla with Miikka Kiprusoff pulled, but were unsuccessful as Antti Niemi picked up the shutout.
Coyotes 3, Senators 2
From John De Groote at SB Nation Arizona:
The Phoenix Coyotes got a valuable 3-2 win in their final game before the all-star break against Ottawa Senators behind 32 saves from Mike Smith and three second-chance goals.
Tuesday nights game was an emotional one for a variety of reasons. First, it was Kyle Turris' first time returning to the team who drafted him third-overall in 2007. Turris and the Coyotes organization had a sour end to an up-and-down relationship when the team traded him to Ottawa earlier this season after a lengthy holdout. Turris heard the boos from the Jobing.com Arena crowd every time he touched the puck.
Another reason for the tension was high in the building Tuesday was the desperation for a win. The 'Yotes had dropped eight of their last ten games coming in and were looking to go into the week-long all-star break on a good note.
Canucks 3, Oilers 2 (SO)
From the Associated Press courtesy of Sports Illustrated:
Cody Hodgson scored the shootout winner and the Vancouver Canucks beat Edmonton 3-2 on Tuesday night, sending the Oilers to their sixth straight road loss.
Hodgson beat Edmonton goalie Devan Dubnyk in the fifth round of the shootout with a shot that trickled between his pads.
Alex Edler scored earlier in the shootout for the Canucks, but Ales Hemsky extended the tiebreaker by beating Vancouver goalie Roberto Luongo with a backhand.
Vancouver moved within three points of the idle Detroit Red Wings, who lead the Western Conference.

STEUBENVILLE - A search Tuesday afternoon for a 12-year-old autistic student who walked away from the Jefferson Regional Spectrum Center ended after the boy was seen in Cadiz by a bus aide.
The boy went to use the restroom at the Jefferson County Developmental Disabilities school for students with autism around 12:30 p.m. but walked out of the building, said Michael Mehalik, developmental disabilities superintendent. The boy walked to the Pugliese West Elementary School on John Scott Highway, Mehalik said. The boy tried to get into the school to get water and talked to a staff member, he said.
The boy later said he was picked up by a woman with two children in the car near the Pugliese school and was driven to the McDonald's in Cadiz, where the woman gave the boy, a Cadiz resident, $5.
Mehalik said the Harrison Hills City School District was notified that the boy had gone missing. He was a student there before attending the school for autistic students in Steubenville. A bus aide saw the boy walking, got him on the bus and drove him to a Cadiz school, where Jefferson County developmental disabilities was notified.
City Police initially got the 911 call from the Jefferson Regional Spectrum Center about the missing student. The Ohio State Highway Patrol sent troopers and called in an airplane. The sheriff's department also was notified.
Mehalik said procedures were followed in the search for the boy. Staff first searched the building and then moved outside. Mehalik said he drove around the area because they didn't want the boy to be walking along John Scott Highway. Mehalik said they've never had a student walk away from a school at the facility.
Mehalik said the boy is highly functioning and communicates well.
He said the school staff will now review policies to determine if any changes are needed in light of the incident.
"It had a happy ending," he said.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) - Arkansas senators have approved legislation that would make secret the names of about 130,000 people in the state who are permitted to carry concealed handguns.
The Senate voted 24-9 Wednesday on a bill that would make the list of concealed carry permit holders exempt from Arkansas' Freedom of Information Act. State law currently allows the state to release the names and ZIP codes of permit holders.
The bill now heads to the House.
Republican Sen. Bruce Holland of Greenwood says he proposed the change after a New York newspaper published the list of concealed carry permit holders following last year's school shooting in Connecticut. Gov. Mike Beebe and several media organizations are opposed to the bill.
The current law was the result of a 2009 compromise struck in the Legislature.

A walk through the other side of the Galapagos Islands. A side that is not often seen by tourists who choose to travel through the islands on a yacht.
This is a journey through the hearts of the people who live on the islands, experiencing their surroundings, sights and sounds.
Most books on the Galapagos Islands center around the animals and plant life as a result of Darwin's work that made the place famous. Despite this being the main attraction of the islands there is yet another whole side that abounds with charm, tranquility and beauty.

Stanley Yeskel Visiting Artists
The Stanley Yeskel Memorial Concert Series is a concert series bringing national and international artists to the George Washington campus. Stanley Yeskel Visiting Artists will interact with students through master classes, class visits, and guest lectures.
This program is generously supported by Peter Yeskel, a CCAS alumnus and an emeritus member of the Dean's National Council for Arts and Sciences. Inspired by his father's love for music, Mr. Yeskel worked with the university's development office to make a gift of music that honored his father, Stanley Yeskel, who passed away in 2002.
Through concert performances and master-classes, the Stanley Yeskel Visiting Artists will give students insight into the artistry of performance; through visits to classes discussing interpretation and the professional life of the musician, they will engage with the scholarly side of our students' education. As artists for whom the mind and body are equal partners in music-making, they will further the department's holistic approach to musical training.
Featured Artists
Aeolus Quartet
March 28. 2014 ~ 7:30 PM
Post Hall on Mount Vernon Campus, 2100 Foxhall Road, NW
Free & Open to the Public
Praised by Strad Magazine for their "high-octane" performance, the Aeolus Quartet is among the finest young string quartets performing today. Violinists NICHOLAS TAVANI and RACHEL SHAPIRO, violist GREGORY LUCE, and cellist ALAN RICHARDSON formed the Aeolus Quartet in 2008 at the Cleveland Institute of Music.
Since its inception, the all-American quartet has been awarded prizes at nearly every major competition in the United States, and performed across the globe to great acclaim. Awards include Grand Prizewinners of the 2011 Plowman Chamber Music Competition and 2011 Chamber Music Yellow Springs Competition, First Prize at the 2009 Coleman International Chamber Ensemble Competition, a Silver Medal at the 2011 Fischoff International Chamber Music Competition, a Bronze Medal at the 2010 International Chamber Music Ensemble Competition, and a 2012 John Lad Prize. They have also released two critically acclaimed albums of classical and contemporary works through the Longhorn/Naxos label.
The Quartet has performed across North America, Europe, and Asia, in venues such as Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall, Reinberger Recital Hall at Severance Hall, Merkin Hall, The Library of Congress, the Smithsonian's rare instrument collection, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, and the Shanghai Oriental Arts Center. They have served as teaching faculty at Stanford University's Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY), the Austin Chamber Music Workshop, and Da Camera of Houston's Music Encounters Program. They have been artists-in-residence at the ScotiaBank Northern Lights Music Festival, McGill International String Quartet Academy, and Bravo! Vail Valley Music Festival. Working in collaboration with the University of Texas through the Rural Chamber Music Outreach Initiative, the Quartet has presented educational programs and performances in communities throughout the state of Texas.
Stephen Wade, The Beautiful Music All Around Us
On October 23, 2013 Grammy nominee, writer, and scholar STEPHEN WADE accompanied by veteran multi-instrumentalist ZAN MCLEOD, will present a concert performance of The Beautiful Music All Around Us; a combination of live music, projected images, and spoken narrative that traces Wade's journey into musical traditions across the American South. Wade's remarkable research that culminated recently in his award winning book, The Beautiful Music All Around Us, rediscovers the largely unknown players and singers whose performances of traditional songs were captured on early Library of Congress field recordings. His stories of folk tunes, their creators, and the communities from which they spring, speak to the interconnectedness of American lives.
Wade has devoted his long career to the study of American folklife, uniting scholarship and the creative arts. A guitarist and banjoist since childhood, his presentations combine virtuoso musicianship with scholarly substance and storytelling. His book, The Beautiful Music All Around Us: Field Recordings and the American Experience (University of Illinois Press), has been described in the Wall Street Journal as "a masterpiece of humane scholarship — but one that reads like a detective story."

The Justice Department on Wednesday accused five of the nation's largest publishing houses and Apple of fixing prices on e-books, forcing consumers to pay tens of millions of dollars more for their favorite titles.
In a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in New York, the government painted a portrait of an industry desperately trying to turn a profit amid rapid changes in technology and aggressive competition from online retailers. In phone conversations, e-mails and dinners at exclusive New York restaurants, the companies' top executives colluded to wrest control of the market from Amazon.com and raise prices on e-books, according to the complaint.

Micro-cracks in steel
Here's an amazing false colour image of a micro crack in steel, viewed through an electron microscope. Through repeated load cycles such cracks get bigger and bigger with the bulb of plastic material at the crack tip getting larger and larger. The resulting stress intensification around the crack causes more plasticity accentuating the process. If the number of cycles is large enough at a particular stress range, the specimen can eventually fail then in fatigue.

Coming from WEC's official Twitter page.
A bantamweight match-up between two former title challengers has been announced by WEC's official Twitter. Jiu jitsu ace, Rani Yahya, will take on Japanese slugger, Takeya Mizugaki, presumably on the undercard of WEC's first trip to pay per view. Both fighters are coming off losses at WEC 45 to Joseph Benavidez and Scott Jorgensen respectively but both are on the tail end of the top 10 in the 135 pd. division, a win here would certainly push either up to title contention.

A Multi-Hazard-Resilient Residential Housing Model for Haiti: Rebuilding Communities and Livelihoods through Sustainable Partitioning
University of Notre Dame, 2010 - $42,480
The failure of urban housing was the primary source of fatalities during the January 2010 earthquake in Haiti. Haitian urban construction practice uses mildly reinforced, undersized concrete columns and masonry infill walls using hand-pressed bricks called Cement Masonry Units (CMUs). Historically, buildings using CMUs perform well under the strong winds common to the Caribbean but experienced catastrophic collapses in the January 2010 earthquake. Even if the size and reinforcement of columns were increased in rebuilding efforts, the continued widespread use of CMUs would still pose a significant seismic risk in future events.
This team, which includes advisors from the Gigot Center/Business School, is developing a new housing paradigm for Haiti with the capacity to withstand the dual threat of hurricanes and earthquakes. The specific focus is on a new sustainable partitioning system for housing called Vèt Miray (Creole for "Green Wall"). Using mechanically processed local agricultural waste products, Vèt Miray has the potential to not only significantly alleviate the risk posed by CMUs, but also address other Haitian societal issues related to waste disposal and economic opportunity by providing a new green industry to the region.

PHILIPS Endura LED 10W A19 Dimmable Bulb L-PRIZE Winner
- Product Review (submitted on March 21, 2012):
- This bulb is the latest in a series of Phillips LED bulbs that really set the standard for LEDs. This is finally an LED bulb that has good brightness, color and 360 degree light dispersion. This one is a 60 watt equivalent. I hope they can get to a 100 watt equivalent soon.
