2.94/5 rDev +4.3%
This is a combination wine/homebrewing/organic/hydroponic gardening shop, and the focus seems to be on the growing part rather than the beermaking part. The selection overall is pretty basic and can be hit and miss as far as what's in stock at any given time. Hops and yeast seem to be even more basic/limited then the malts and other misc supplies. If you need something in a pinch and it's a fairly basic ingredient, then they probably have it, but I'd call ahead. The staff is certainly friendly and they try to be helpful, although I'm not sure just how much experience they have on the homebrewing side. Prices are fair/reasonable, not too high, not too low.

1.68/5 rDev -40.4%
Homebrew selection is mediocre at best and the yeast selection is not properly rotated, the wyeast smack pack I wanted was 6+ months old and after reviewing the other packs I saw several expired packs. The hops and yeast are in a fridge accessable to all which is probably part of the problem. The staff seemed slightly bothered by having to deal with homebrewing questions and did not seem very knowledgeable when it comes to home brewing. I probably won't ever go back to this place for anything homebrew related, on a side note it is a very nice gardening/hydroponic store.

2.7/5 rDev -4.3%
My first visit to this store in more than 12 years of homebrewing, which says how good our other homebrew store is.
Very limited, small selection. You can eke out the basics for extract brewing, but that's about it. Almost everything in the store, apart from the liquid yeast, was pre-packaged Carlson stuff. Which is fine, for what it is, but it adds an extra level of mark-up.
Basic selection of extracts and specialty grains. Basic selection of beginning equipment. Basic selection of equipment. Basic.
Staff were occupied with other customers in the organic/hydroponic gardening section of the store, which takes up the bulk of the floor space, so I'll re-review should I have the opportunity to speak with them in the future. Best feature is that this place is open seven days a week until 6 p.m., which our other homebrew store most decidedly is not.

This store has a pretty small homebrew section, they have most of the basic supplies, the selection of brewing ingredients is nothing
spectacular just your average selection, the staff is very helpful and
knowledgable. This is mostly an indoor gardening and hydroponics store with a great selection of indoor lighting and growing supplies, they have everything you need for the indoor marijuana grower.

Quality: The quality of everything offered seemed to be good and fresh, until I saw several smack-packs of Wyeast (at full price) that had already had their inner pouch broken. There goes their shelf life... On the other hand, the bulk of their yeast and all of their hops are kept refridgerated.
Service: The employees seemed knowledgable and eager to help. I was looking for something specific and, while they didn't have it, the guy helping me led me in the right direction.
Selection: They have a fairly good selection of grains, hops, and yeast. I would like to see more fresh, whole-leaf hops available, as they only had four varieties. Lots of different types in the plug format. The selection of extract kits is pretty good, though I wonder how long they've been on the shelf.

Determined to stand out from the crowd, Curry Leaf East makes an immediate impact with its high ceilings and suave, elegant design – note the imposing wooden 'gateway' arch that leads to the rear of the restaurant. Don't expect the standard line-up of curry house staples, either: intriguing starters could see spicy chicken livers with basil or clove- and cinnamon- infused lamb grilled and drizzled with saffron, ahead of xacuti chicken (with fresh coconut and poppy seeds) or a seafood curry from Alleppey in Kerala (with shredded ginger and mango), all backed by the usual veggie sides, breads and a functional drinks selection. Dedicated fans continue to be impressed, and the restaurant's air-con must surely be one of the most powerful in London. It's worth taking advantage of the £10 two-course lunch offer, too.

A female Marine (who we are not identifying) had a brief physical relationship with Kyle Antonacci. In May 2009, Kyle found her naked in his bed and she told him his friend, Michael Pineda, had raped her. Antonacci became a key witness against Pineda. Later, he began to doubt her claims of rape. Antonacci became an NCIS informant and recorded phone conversations with the woman in his efforts to clear Pineda.

They've been showing this fight on ESPN Classic non stop so for those of you that don't have it in your library check it out. I had not seen the fight since I watched it live and just recalled it being very close.
I scored it tonight and had it 115-115, a draw... 5-5-2 in rounds. I think it was the 5th and 10th that I scored even but I could be mistaken. So, if both of my even rounds went to the same fighter it would be a 115-113 card for either fighter. Good, competitive fight.
I thought that Winky gave away the 12th round, and it was funny how that reminded me of the Taylor fight. The 12th round in both of those fights costed him the win if you want to look at it that way. So how did you guys score Vargas-Wright if you recall?

Mahwah school board returns incumbents and seats newcomer
2 incumbents, newcomer win in Mahwah race
Mahwah voters returned two incumbents and seated one newcomer to the Board of Education in the Nov. 6 election.
Trustees John Dolan, 54, and Christine Davis, 49, will be joined by John Ebanietti, 52, when they are sworn in at the board's reorganization meeting.
Trustee Candace Larson did not seek reelection.
Dolan received the highest number of votes with 4,898 and Davis received 3,445. Ebanietti took the third seat with 3,146 votes.
Dolan, a 50-year resident, served on the school board from 1992-1995 and again since 2000. He has also been a Mahwah Youth Sports booster for the football, basketball and softball programs.
Davis, an 18-year resident, has served on the school board since 2003, and previously was its first vice president. She is a physical science teacher in Ramsey and a former trustee of the Mahwah Schools Foundation.

Of the 16,348 registered voters in the township, 11,150, or 68.2 percent, turned out at the polls.

Infant Car Seats
Consumer Reports recently released a report, which said that out of twelve car seats tested only the Graco SnugRide with EPS and Baby Trend Flex-Loc were considered safe for your infant in a side/front impact accident. Shortly after releasing the report they retracted all of their findings stating that the tests were to severe. Hmmmm, so if the Graco SnugRide with EPS can handle a severe test, then it must clearly be the best. Now this isn't saying that the other car seats aren't safe. It's just that these two are extra safe.
Anyhow, that's the one we're entrusting our little one with. It'll be cute to see it in the car with Scruffy's booster seat!

Results of the Minot Public Schools bond vote became official this afternoon after the Minot Public School Board made decisions on a handful of disputed ballots.
In the end, the final vote tally was changed by one vote -- an additional yes vote.
67 percent of voters approved the plan to build a new elementary school, build additions to Perkett and Edison, and improve safety and security.
Also Monday at the board meeting, the timeline for construction was discussed.
Superintendent Vollmer says the hope is to have school additions wrapped up by the start of the 2015-2016 school year.
Safety upgrades will take place for the most part this summer however.
The large new school in Southeast Minot will be the last to open.
A construction manager will be hired...and the plan is to open for the start of the 2016-2017 year.
Vollmer says opening at the start of the year is important so kids don't have to switch schools mid-year.
(Mark Vollmer - MPS Superintendent) "The new elementary school, although it could possibly be done in December of 2015, that would involve taking children from other elementary schools and moving them to that building so it makes more sense for that building to open with a new student body in the fall of 2016."
Boundaries within the district will be changing as the new school comes online...as well as the additions to Perkett and Edison.
The price tag on all the projects is projected to be just under 40 million dollars.
Chantelle Pepple says she hopes people will have a greater appreciation for what "this monster took from this world and my family."

One person dead following shooting incident in West Palm Beach
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - One person has died following a shooting incident near Okeechobee Blvd. and Parker Ave. around 8 o'clock on Saturday night.
West Palm Beach Police Chief Vince Demasi says it happened following a shots fired incident near Tamarind Ave. and 6th street.
Nearby officers were given a suspect vehicle description, found the vehicle, and followed it to Parker Ave.
That's where Demasi says the car crashed, and three people inside tried to run from the scene.
Demasi says one person died at the scene, another was injured but surrendered at the scene. A third suspect ran from the scene but was quickly taken into custody.
Police are not confirming how the suspect died.
Witnesses in the area say they heard 6 to 8 gun shots shortly after the accident.
Police say the crash happened less than half a mile away from Moon Fest in West Palm Beach.
Demasi says the shots fired was unrelated to the festival and no one was in any danger.
Police expect more updates to the investigation early next week.

CHICAGO (AP) -- Democrats could claim veto-proof majorities in both houses of the Illinois General Assembly after Tuesday's election.
Senate Democrats won a startling 40 seats -- up from 35.
The party would have 71 votes in the House if election results hold. Democrat Kate Cloonen had a slim lead in a Kankakee-area race but The Associated Press had not yet called a winner.
Republicans picked up six House seats in the 2010 midterm election but lost all that momentum Tuesday.
Veteran Rep. Lou Lang of Skokie says Democrats can't do what they please simply because they can adopt legislation without fear of a governor's veto.
Lang is sponsor of a gambling expansion bill Gov. Pat Quinn vetoed, but Lang plans to proceed with an override vote in the current session.

Fertility & Pregnancy
Treat Gestational Diabetes to Reduce Birth Problems
Reported October 05, 2009
(Ivanhoe Newswire) -- Treating pregnant women for mild gestational
diabetes resulted in fewer cesarean sections and other serious birthing problems
associated with larger than average babies, according to a study conducted in
part at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill.
"This study is important because it clearly indicates the value to mothers and
their newborns of screening for and treatment of diabetes-like conditions
provoked by pregnancy," John M. Thorp, M.D., McAllister distinguished professor
of obstetrics and gynecology at the UNC School of Medicine and a co-author of
the study, is quoted as saying. "Our work resolves a 40-year controversy in
women's health and should be immediately helpful to both pregnant women and the
clinicians caring for them."
Close to 4 percent of pregnant women in the U.S. develop gestational diabetes --
about 135,000 cases each year, Thorp said. Because these women have high blood
sugar levels, their babies receive more blood glucose than they need, and the
extra energy is stored as fat. The babies tend to be larger and fatter than
average at birth and thus are more likely to have problems, such as the need for
cesarean delivery, damage to their shoulders during birth and a greater risk of
becoming obese as children and developing type 2 diabetes as adults.
There has been a running controversy among physicians about whether treating
pregnant women for gestational diabetes is worthwhile. Several professional
organizations advocate screening, but the 2008 guidelines of the U.S. Preventive
Services Task Force concluded there is insufficient evidence to support
screening for and treatment of gestational diabetes.
Against this background, the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child
Health and Human Development Maternal-Fetal Medicine Units (MFMU) Network
launched a 14-site clinical trial to determine if treating mothers for mild
gestational diabetes would reduce infant deaths and birth-related complications.
A total of 958 women between 24 and 31 weeks of pregnancy were randomized. Of
these, 485 received treatment that included diet changes, self blood glucose
monitoring and insulin if necessary; 473 were untreated.
There were no infant deaths in the study and no significant differences between
the two groups in terms of babies born with problems such as hypoglycemia,
hyperbilirubinemia, neonatal hyperinsulinemia and birth trauma. However,
significantly fewer babies in the treatment group experienced unusually large
size, high birth weight, shoulder damage during birth or the need for cesarean
In addition, said Thorp, "It's especially intriguing that mothers in the
treatment arm gained less weight during pregnancy, experienced fewer preterm
births and had fewer cases of preeclampsia than mothers in the untreated group."
Preeclampsia is a syndrome marked by a sudden increase in the blood pressure of
a pregnant woman after the 20th week of pregnancy, which can be fatal or lead to
long-term health problems for both mother and baby.
The study concluded, "These findings confirm a benefit to the identification and
treatment of women with mild carbohydrate intolerance during pregnancy."

Retailing in Los Angeles and environs is being slammed in the recession and even celebrity-friendly shopping streets like Robertson Boulevard are feeling it. Dozens of specialty retailers have closed across the metro area and others are shrinking. Store owners are trying to get creative in their approach to business, and most say they'll emerge from the downturn with an altogether different way of doing things.
"I don't know what my business will look like in two years, but it certainly won't be what it is right now," said Lisa Kline, who said she'll press on with her namesake stores on Robertson, but recalibrate her operation in order to survive. "We'll re-emerge as a whole different business, and that's what I'm trying to figure out right now. There was too much sameness and it's killing people off -- some of whom shouldn't have even been in business in the first place, but also others who shouldn't have gone under."
There's certainly plenty of acrimony involved. Retailers staggering under the weight of high rents lambast landlords who raised prices at the height of the real estate market.
Store owners bemoan deep and early holiday discounts at the major department stores, which hastened the bloodletting among the small high-end boutiques that couldn't keep up in the discounting wars.
There appears to be no safe haven.
"Things will improve, but before then I think we'll see more failures," said Fred Levine, owner of Southern California's 10-store M. Fredric chain. "We'll see more of every business failing if the consumer confidence level doesn't change. Nobody, I mean nobody, can last indefinitely under these conditions. And it will never be the same as it once was."

Reply from Bramble Berry
Hi Brenda! 3-D Molds can be a bit tricky to use, but we are here to help you out, because they are two-part molds, the airlock can be a little hard to unmold, but if you allow it to slowly release, it will come apart just fine. Another thing to be aware of is if you put these molds in the freezer, it can actually cause the plastic to become brittle and break.

Stuart officials received mixed reviews Wednesday on proposals that would narrow Colorado Avenue from four lanes to two, or eliminate two traffic lights and add an extra pair of roundabouts.
The city's stated objective behind the proposals is to create more parking for businesses along Colorado Avenue. Many of the business owners on Colorado appear to favor the proposed changes. There seems to be a lot less support from residents that drive regularly on the main thoroughfare from U.S. 1 to downtown Stuart.
Stuart officials should leave well enough alone.

Though the "offseason" technically does not end until Opening Day on April 1, the beginning of spring training this week symbolizes the beginning of a new year for the Boston Red Sox.
Following a very active winter in which general manager Ben Cherington wheeled-and-dealed (wheeled and dealt?) his way into spending over $100 million on new player contracts, the Sox have an updated club heading into the 2013 season. The 25-man roster is just about set, give or take a bullpen arm or a battle for the fifth outfield spot.
It's time to look forward to a new era in Boston, but also a time to look back on the last few months, in which Cherington and his bosses paved the path for the franchise. Many of the moves they made this offseason made a whole lot of sense; others, not so much.
All told, the Red Sox had, at the very least, a productive winter. Now let's take a look at some of the best and worst moves that were made.
Three Best Moves
Nov. 14, 2012: Red Sox sign catcher David Ross to a two-year, $6.2 million deal
In what was one of the most unheralded bargains of the winter, Boston was able to scoop up Ross, arguably the best backup catcher in the game who has always deserved more trips to the plate.
From 2009-2012, Ross posted a .358 wOBA in 663 plate appearances for the Atlanta Braves, netting 6.4 fWAR during that span. He's also one of the best defensive catchers in the game, as his 37.5 percent caught-stealing rate over the last two years is second to only Yadier Molina (40 percent).
At 36 years old, Ross won't compete with Jarrod Saltalamacchia for the starting job, but he will provide an excellent platoon behind the plate. Saltalamacchia took a small step forward last year, popping 25 homers and posting a solid 2 fWAR, but his struggles against left-handers (.216 wOBA compared to .334 against righties) was evident.
Expect Salty to carry most of the burden behind the dish, but there's plenty of room for Ross to step in against the many talented southpaws in the American League. Look for him to come to the plate 200-250 times this season, and for Boston to get its money's worth and more.
Dec. 18, 2012: Red Sox sign relief pitcher Koji Uehara to a one-year, $4.25 million deal
With all the hilarious multi-year deals given out to relief pitchers over the past few offseasons, it's amazing that a guy like Uehara has been unable to cash in on one.
Since 2010, when the Baltimore Orioles decided to use the Japanese right-hander out of the bullpen, Uehara has led all big league relievers with a 10.76 K/BB ratio, and it's not even close (Rafael Betancourt ranks second at 7.82). He also has left runners on base at a rate of 86.9 percent, good for second in the majors over the last three years.
Uehara does what every relief pitcher is supposed to do, and he does it better than anyone else: he strikes guys out, he doesn't give anyone a free pass to a base, and he cleans up after the last pitcher's mess.
Somehow, the Red Sox were able to nab the soon-to-be 38-year-old for a relatively modest one-year deal. It appears that Koji Uehara is the next market inefficiency.
Jan. 22, 2013: Red Sox sign first baseman/catcher Mike Napoli to a one-year, $5 million deal plus incentives
This was supposed to end up on the "worst moves" list, as Boston initially had agreed with Napoli on a three-year, $39 million deal at the beginning of the offseason. But the initial deal was nullified after a physical brought health concerns, and both sides finally settled on a contract that could net Napoli up to $13 million in 2013.
In the worst case scenario, the Red Sox wasted five million bucks on a guy who won't see the field this year. In the best case scenario, Boston added one of the most devastating right-handed hitters in the game to an already potent lineup.
Napoli is a career .259/.356/.507 hitter, but he showed unbelievable potential in 2011, when he hit .320/.414/.631 with 30 homers in just 432 plate appearances for the Rangers. He's also smacked left-handers to the tune of a .390 wOBA during his career.
The Red Sox are banking that Napoli is healthy and can rebound from a relatively unimpressive 2012 campaign, in which he hit .227/.343/.469. Boston also hopes he benefits from playing in Fenway Park, which tends to be friendly to right-handed pull hitters.
If everything goes according to plan, Napoli will be the everyday first baseman in 2013, and Boston will have inadvertently stumbled upon a nice bargain.
Three Worst Moves
Dec. 26, 2012: Red Sox acquire reliever Joel Hanrahan in a six-player trade with the Pittsburgh Pirates
The Red Sox clearly set out to improve their pitching staff this offseason, and a slurry of acquisitions culminated in a trade for Hanrahan, who should be the closer on Opening Day.
As Evan Brunell noted immediately following the trade, there's a lot to like about Hanrahan, who has compiled 76 saves for the Pirates over the past two seasons. But there are also plenty of red flags that come with the 31-year-old right-hander.
Hanrahan survived an astronomically high 5.43 BB/9 rate in 2012 with incredible batted ball luck, as his .225 BABIP led to a very solid 2.72 ERA. FanGraphs says Hanrahan was worth negative 0.4 wins last season; certainly not the kind of "value" Boston wants from its closer.
In reality, Hanrahan is likely to produce somewhere in the range of his 2012 season and his 2011 campaign, in which he struck out eight and walked just over two hitters per nine innings, ending up with a 1.82 ERA. He'll likely suffer from a move to the AL East, but small innings samples for relievers will make it hard to tell. All told, the Red Sox added a quality relief pitcher for 2013.
But at what cost? As Brunell also noted in his December column, the Sox gave up reliever Mark Melancon, who in the past has shown potential to be just as good if not better than Hanrahan. Melancon struggled mightily last year, posting a 6.20 ERA in 45 innings, but he was pretty strong down the stretch. He is also just two years removed from a wonderful 2011 season, in which he posted a 2.78 ERA in 74.1 innings for the Astros.
Combine Melancon with the prospects Boston gave up for just one year of Hanrahan, and the deal just doesn't quite add up for Boston.
Dec. 13, 2012: Red Sox sign outfielder Shane Victorino to a three-year, $39 million deal
Victorino is a serviceable hitter with plus tools in the field and on the basepaths, but that's just about all he is at this point in his career. And considering the supply of available quality outfielders on the market this winter, this deal left quite a few analysts scratching their heads.
At 32 years old, Victorino is on the wrong side of a career that is highly dependent on tools (speed, fielding ability) that don't tend to age well. While he does rank sixth amoung big league outfielders in fWAR since 2006, most of that value has been driven by his outstanding play in center field and his ability to steal bags.
At roughly $5 million per win, Victorino will have to average roughly 2.6 wins a year over the course of his deal for the Red Sox to break even. That's certainly possible, perhaps even likely, but with the depth of outfielders that Boston has both at the major league and minor league levels, one wonders if Victorino will take up space that could be allocated to other players.
This deal isn't a particularly bad one, and Red Sox fans will certainly enjoy the antics Victorino brings to the club and the city. But it's also one that probably didn't have to be made, and could have unforeseen negative consequences in a year or two.
Oct. 21, 2012: Acquired manager John Farrell from the Toronto Blue Jays; signed Farrell to a three-year deal
I know, it's a stretch to say this was a "bad move." But I mean, come on. Trading for a manger? Doesn't that seem a little excessive?
It's almost impossible to determine the amount of value that any manager can bring to or detract from a club. One can objectively analyze the merits of moves within the context of the game, and assign run expectancies and win shares to those moves; but it's beyond our realm of comprehension to truly know how a manager aids a team as the clubhouse leader.
The players seemed to like Farrell when he was the pitching coach in Boston from 2007-2010. But did he have to be the guy the Sox hired as the new manager? Did they need him so much, that he was worth trading an asset for? (Yes, I just called Mike Aviles an asset.)
Truth be told, I don't have much of a problem with this move, and the only reason it's in this column is for symmetry's sake. Either that shines light on a very good offseason for the Red Sox, or it's an indictment on my obsessive compulsion.
I guess I'll look into that next week.

Harrisonburg Police Department
Press Release
On October 3, 2012, the Harrisonburg Police Department received a cyber-tip in reference to a posting on Craigslist in which a child was possibly being advertised for sale. The posting had limited information as to the identity of the person that had posted this add. HPD Investigators began working on this information and were able to determine that the posting appeared to have generated from an unknown or unidentifiable location in New Jersey. Investigators also began communicating with federal agencies to coordinate efforts in this investigation.
This type of investigation often relies on information which is ascertained from various social media companies. As a result, on October 27, 2012, Investigators with the Harrisonburg Police Department executed a search warrant on the business of Google Inc., in an attempt to gather information on the person utilizing the email address that was used for the posting.
On March 18, 2013, Investigators with the Harrisonburg Police Department received information back from Google Inc. as related to the previously executed search warrant. Investigators will now be following up on this information and executing more search warrants for additional digital media and social media information.
Based on the initial information of this investigation, HPD cannot rule out the possibility of this advertisement being a scam. Research through Craigslist shows the email address linked to this advertisement was also linked to several other items for sale which appeared to be online scams. HPD will continue to investigate this case, in conjunction with the State of New Jersey and federal agencies to determine the validity of this information.
Anyone in the community who has information about this case asked to contact the Harrisonburg Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division at 540-437-2640.
Callers are able to remain anonymous by calling Crime Solvers at 540-574-5050. Tipsters may also text "HPD" plus their tip to CRIMES (274637).

I'm not very good formatting things... But, according to Adam Schefter:
@Adam_Schefter Not sure if this beats John Elway on Twitter, but the Broncos retained their OC Mike McCoy, who also could have gone to Clev or KC. 39 minutes ago
It seems like this might be good news. He's evidently well regarded and will provide continuity for the offense, which might be especially valuable this year. The Broncos, at least at times, had an effective passing attack over the last two seasons, so hopefully he can bring what he learned from having worked with McDaniels and can combine it effectively with the running and line coaches brought in the Carolina.
Go Broncos!

For all that say Kolb is the better QB,,can you show me where that is evident!
You cant show me!.Look at his stats for the last 5 years,Nothing special,High school 3rdstringers have better stats.Cards blew this one,fell for Eagles prank!
Skelton is a leader,Poise,fearlessness.Even Larry Fitzgerald says" when john comes to the huddle ,he's in command,and then he takes his cape off " (a reference to Skelton and Superman and to Skeltons ability to get the job done in the 4th qtr)
I am starting to wonder if the offennsive line is playing bad on purpose when Kolb's in to get him outta here? Team does seem to rally around Skelton. That plus Kolb is lousy!Teammates dont give respect to a 60 mill qb that plays like a 60 cent qb!!
Look! its clearly evident (and in ex cards coach Dennis Greens voice) that Kevin Kolb is NOT who we thought he was.We were told that he was what we thought he was,but what he was was not what we want!! WAH!

Acupuncture needles are metallic, solid, and hair-thin, unlike the thicker, hollow hypodermic needles used in Western medicine to administer treatments or take blood samples.
People experience acupuncture differently, but most feel minimal pain as the needles are inserted. Some people are energized by treatment, while others feel relaxed.
Some patients may fear acupuncture because they are afraid of needles. Improper needle placement, movement of the patient, or a defect in the needle can cause soreness and pain during treatment. This is why it is so important to seek treatment from a qualified acupuncture practitioner .
As important research advances continue to be made on acupuncture worldwide, practitioners and doctors increasingly will work together to give you the best care available.

Item: Man-Made Snow Avalanches in the Eastern United States
Title: Man-Made Snow Avalanches in the Eastern United States
Proceedings: Proceedings of the 2004 International Snow Science Workshop, Jackson Hole, Wyoming
- Roger H. Damon, Jr. [ Tuckerman Ravine Ski Patrol, 25 Spring Street St., Johnsbury, VT 05819 ]
Date: 2004
Abstract: Avalanches of man-made snow occurring naturally, or triggered by skiers or snow-making personnel, have destroyed property and caused physical injury in the Eastern United States. Discussion with several well-known individuals at previous ISSW conferences revealed what appears to be a widespread disbelief that man-made snow can -- and does -- produce significant avalanches. Discussion of these phenomena includes a brief review of the snow-making process, a description of the products nature and composition, how the product interacts with natural snows metamorphism, and a review of the injuries, property damage, and the functional and economic losses that have resulted. An Olympic venue is included as a presentation example. Field analysis of several of these episodes has led to initial theories which may define the root causes of product failure. These theories, when merged with the practice of snow making, can be considered as a guide to mitigation of future episodes.

Some Men are Mad at AMCPosted by BRADY in Mad Men
August 15th, 2011, 02:46 PM
How in the world does the channel with the most critically acclaimed shows on TV right now get nothing but bad press? Ask AMC, they seem to have perfected the unique trick.
As we all know, AMC used to be a channel where you could only watch old movies, and there was nothing wrong with that. I like being able to watch Jaws at 9pm as much as the next guy. But then they scrapped together a budget and decided to dip their toe into the water of original programming with a little show called Mad Men. They followed that up with Breaking Bad, an equally acclaimed, and even more risky, show with some of the most brilliant dramatic acting seen on the small screen in years. With three straight "Best Drama" Emmy wins for Mad Men, and 3 straight "Best Dramatic Actor" wins for Breaking Bad, it's safe to say the shows kicked AMC's fledgling original programming department into the spotlight. There were a couple misses, but the record breaking premiere of the gorey, thrilling zombie serial The Walking Dead last October cemented AMC as the "new HBO."
So just what in the heck is going on over there? After a tense contract negotiation with Mad Men creator Matthew Weiner, an agreement was finally reached to bring the show back, but too late for us to get our usual summer Mad Men fix. Although they just announced a deal to bring Breaking Bad back for one more season, for awhile there other networks were openly talking about adopting the show when it ditched AMC. And worst of all, veteran filmmaker Frank Darabont was fired from his role as showrunner for The Walking Dead only weeks after promoting the show at Comic Con, supposedly because him and the network could not agree on budgets. This last one is the best sign that things are very amiss at AMC. It's one thing for a guy like Frank Darabont, arguably the only reason The Walking Dead got made at all, to step down now that the show is up and running. But to get fired? It stinks like AMC used his name and credits to launch the show and ditched the expensive producer as soon as they had a reliable audience.
But who is really to blame? If you listen to Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter, a man who knows a thing or two about making a hit show for basic cable, it was all those boozy Mad Men. Sutter went on a twitter rant about Darabont's firing, blaming Matthew Weiner for holding the network hostage with his demands for Mad Men to come back. AMC, afraid of losing their flagship show, agreed to his unrealistic budget demands, meaning that other shows had to have their budgets slashed to accommodate. Translation: bye bye expensive movie director!
Hey AMC: your making the best shows on TV, now pull yourself together as a network to keep your talent there. Otherwise I fear you'll just be re-playing Jaws in prime time in no time flat.

October 11, 2007
Albany--In just one more day, thousands of people from all over the state will visit Albany for the 2007 Special Olympics.
The event is expected to attract about 1,200 athletes from all over Georgia. Opening ceremony will kick off Friday evening at the Albany Civic Center. Athletes living with intellectual disabilities will have an opportunity to take part in 23 Olympic-type sports this weekend.
As the Special Olympics swings into gear, one eager athlete is ready to take home the gold.
"It's just fun. Having fun with other different teams, and getting to meet different people," says Christopher Williams. Williams has trained for the event for weeks. He plans to knock out a few home runs in the baseball competition.
"It's kind of hard to do all that hard work. We had to run around and exercise, stretch, and all that good stuff," says Williams.
Williams doesn't like to brag, but already has several medals he won from the sport last year.
"Came in second," he says.
"Our athletes work really hard. They have to go through at least eight weeks of consecutive training prior to this event," says Karen Beasley who is the special olympics coordinator for the Dougherty County School District. She says the Special Olympics give athletes an opportunity to excel.
"Every body wants to feel like they're supported and cheered. Our athletes deserve no less," she says.
About 450 local athletes will take part in the games this weekend. Beasley is hoping the community will come out and show their support.
"We want those stands to be filled," she says.
Williams is just hoping to have a good time. "It's fun. We get to trip out and have fun and get to do all different stuff," says Williams.
While taking out his competition. "We'll probably beat whoever we play against," says Williams.

Columbus Symphony Performs Sergei Prokofiev and Pyotr Tchaikovsky
The Columbus Symphony performs Sergei Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1 in D major, Op. 25 ("Classical Symphony") and Lieutenant Kijé, and Pyotr Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo Theme, Op. 33 for cello and orchestra and The Year 1812, Festival Overture in E flat major, ("1812 Overture"), Op. 49, January 21 and 22 at the Ohio Theatre.
Peter Stafford Wilson conducts;Â Julian Schwarz plays cello.
Lieutenant Kijé
After a successful decade and a half in America, Prokofiev chose to return to Soviet Russia in 1930, where the challenge for the composer was to produce works that would satisfy both the authorities and audiences.
"I must hear Russian speech and talk with people who are dear to me [...] Their songs are my song. I am going home."
Soviet authorities thought they were getting a graceful, compliant artist, but the joke was on them. In 1934, he was invited by film director Alexander Feinzimmer to score a new film called Lieutenant Kijé. The film, a political satire about a fictitious Lieutenant Kijé, became a favorite of the Tsar, at the time.
Prokofiev proved adept at wielding the rapier to Soviet bureaucracy, disguised as an insult to old tsarist Russia. Many of Prokofiev's contemporaries got the joke, while appreciating the composer's brittle and graceful music.
Symphony No. 1 in D major
Prokofiev's Symphony No. 1 in D major ("Classical Symphony"), Op. 25 was written during World War I at a time when people were dodging bullets in the streets of Petrograd. It was a strange time to write something so witty and beautiful.
The symphony began as an exercise for Prokofiev: He wanted to see if he could compose away from the piano. He also wanted to pay tribute to his primary teacher, Nikolai Tcherepin.
Franz Haydn's classical form was integral to Tcherepin's teaching. As a result, Prokofiev would write a symphony in the style of Haydn using contemporary idioms, adding to the wonderful symmetry and grace of the classical style a color of deceptive cadences and flashes of dissonance to keep the 1917 audience entertained.
Here is is performed by the Boston Symphony Orchestra, under the legendary Sergei Koussevitsky.
Variations on a Rococo Theme
Variations on a Rococo Theme, written by Russian composer Pyotr Tchaikovsky a generation earlier (in 1876), is a one movement concerto for cello and orchestra.
Haydn was the father of the Rococo style. (There he is again.) In fact, the theme is Tchaikovsky's original parody of this style. There's no direct quote from any other composer in this work. It is completely original.
There are seven variations following the initial graceful theme, beginning at 1:00 minute on this video:
The variations were written for Tchaikovsky's colleague at the Moscow Conservatory, cellist Wilhelm Fitzenhagen. The cellist fancied himself a composer too. When Tchaikovsky asked for Fitzenhagen's input, he wrote his versions into the autograph score. As it turns out, Fitzenhagen shanghaied the glory away from the composer, who remained cool to this artist as the work he inspired became a hit. Fitzenhagen reported, "I produced a furore with your variations. I was recalled three times!"
The Year 1812, Festival Overture in E flat major
The Year 1812, Festival Overture in E flat major, Op. 49 ("1812 Overture"), written in 1880, was commissioned to open the new Cathedral Church of Christ the Savior in Moscow. The inspiration was the Russian defeat of Napoleon's forces at the Battle of Borodino in 1812.
What had begun as a certain victory for the French was ended by the Russian winter. Once the remnants of Napoleon's armies reached Moscow, they found the city both deserted and burned to the ground. There was nothing and no one to conquer.
Seventy years later, Tchaikovsky came up with a concert overture in one movement complete with cannon fire and tolling Cathedral bells — precisely marked in the score. We hear the Marseillaise as Napoleon approaches an then runs away.
Finally, the hymn "God Save the Tsar" — a nice bit of propaganda from a Tsarist government in 1882 that would collapse less than fifty years later — thunders forth amid the pealing bells.
Tchaikovsky hated the "1812 Overture," which became his most popular work. "I'm not a concocter of festival pieces," he declared. He described the overture as "very loud and noisy and completely without artistic merit, because I wrote it without love."
Indeed. But like many other works, it was loved by the public.

Globe Editorial
Azad Amin
The recent bloody terror waves throughout Iraq with the exception of Kurdistan region is only one of the outcomes of this growing uncertainty and political turmoil. Iraq's chaotic internal affairs are combined with regional qualms that service to provide an even gloomier picture.
One thing is certain, however, that since 2003 Iraq has failed over and over again to establish sound democratic and plural governance and a stable and peaceful political system. Recent developments signify the fact that formation of a new Iraq was and is a doomed attempt. For Iraq to preserve its integrity and its political entity there is only one way to do it and that is through a new dictatorial and iron fisted regime. Maliki actions precisely fill this inevitability. In other words it is not Maliki that attempts to establish another dictatorial regime but it is the historical background of Iraq and its political system that corrupts anyone who come to power and force one to such dictatorial tendencies.
The flourishing of democracy and development of civil society in Iraq, if it ever happens, will fasten disintegration and dismemberment of Iraq. Artificial formation of Iraq's political entity and forceful and involuntary union of Iraq's different national and religious groups at the end of the First World War is the main culprit for such a dusky Iraq and its despairing people.
Since its inception, Iraq has always contained two main tensions and conflicts within its political system. On the one hand, the irreconcilable Arab-Kurdish national conflict and on the other hand the incompatible and historical Shiite-Sunni quarrel. With the removal of Saddam Husain these historical enmities clearly appeared on the political arena and each group with their specific historical background and experience attempted to utilize the post-Saddam period for their groups' interests. Nobody has the right to blame them for such behavior either, particularly of the Kurds and the Shiites. Both groups suffered tremendously under Sunni rule. The Sunnis on the other hand endeavor hard to snap back into the power that they lost with the collapse of Baathist rule in Iraq. Nine years after the fall of Saddam, Iraq is a sinking ship with no hope in sight.
The Kurds as a nation for itself has sufficient experience and abundant reasons not to remain in this wrecked ship any further. Neither the Kurds have any moral responsibility to be part of denominational conflict that is engulfing Iraq nor do they have any rational reason to mediate between the historical Shiite Sunni conflicts in Iraq. The Kurdish attempt since 2003 to keep Iraq intact and to remain a part of it has proved to be a failed attempt.
The growing discontent over removing Maliki from his post and the attitudes of Kurdish political leaders on this issue has to be critically examined. The worrying disparity between the two powerful Kurdish leaders, Kurdistan Region's President Massoud Barzani and Iraq's President Jalal Talabani, over the removal of Maliki may endanger the strategic agreement between the Kurdistan Democratic Party and the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan that they lead respectively. The Kurds of today need a united stand more than ever in order to overcome today's challenges.
It is not really important whether Maliki is removed from his post or not unless a genuine democratic and inclusive political system established in Iraq. Maliki can be removed but who is going to replace him? How can the Kurdish leaders make sure that a new premier performs better than Maliki? These are the critical questions that have to be contemplated. At the same time, failing to remove Maliki from power is a welcoming of a new dictator in Iraq. Should Maliki manage to pass this crisis and remains in power he would be able to further consolidate his power effortlessly and transform Iraq into another phase of dictatorial rule. It is because of this alone that Maliki has to go or has to be removed from his post. The contrary is a bigger devastation for Iraq and for the people of Iraq.
Maliki's removal will not resolve anything. As mentioned above Iraq, has no historical record as a democratic plural country. The burning question for the Kurds is what path to follow? What is the main strategic policy that the Kurds should follow?
Concentrating on Maliki's removal alone could easily prepare another trap for the Kurds and without doubt this would be a waste of energy and time. It would sidetrack the Kurds from the more strategic national issues and would bog them down into the abyss of regional intrigues and manipulation.
The Kurdish political leaders and actors should bring this issue to the Kurdistan Parliament and a decisive and strategic road map should be developed by the parliament. Any negotiations with other Iraqi Arab political groups should be conducted according to the road map that is to be formulated by the parliament and conducted by a special committee to be set up by the parliament. The Kurdistan President should not waste his time and energy with never ending meetings and negotiations with various Arab political actors. Instead the Kurdistan President should concentrate on the general Kurdish national interests and should bring cohesion and unity to the Kurdish house.
The Kurds should focus on the developments in Syria and particularly on Syrian Kurdistan and assist their brethren to seize their historical opportunity in order to realize Kurdish self-determination in that part of Kurdistan. The Kurds should give attention to Kurdistan of Turkey and deal decisively with the PKK question. It should be kept in mind that immense political cultural and social upheavals that engulf the region soon will knock on the door of Iran and other untouched parts of the region. Consolidation of Kurdish national liberation movement and political gains in one part of Kurdistan will be insurance for the political and national rights of Kurds in other parts of Kurdistan. Deviation of Kurdish national concentration from bigger issues for the sake of petty issues will prove to be a historical mistake.
Cadets and leaders of both KDP and PUK must be extremely careful and vigilant not to let the Kurdish house slide down for the sake of a dictator in the making.

Learn Russian in Moldova with Projects Abroad
Moldova: Chisinau
In Moldova, Russian and Romanian are both widely spoken. Through Projects Abroad you have the opportunity to follow a two-week or month long intensive Russian Language Project. You will receive 15 hours of tuition each week with fully-qualified teachers. As with all our one-to-one language courses, from the first lesson the pace will be tailored to suit your abilities and needs. A good understanding of Russian will enable you to make the most of your free time in Moldova
While studying on the Russian Language Project and living in Moldova you will probably become the first foreign friend for many local people, and you have a good opportunity to influence the way they see the world. Imagine what a good impression you will make if you have taken the time to learn one of their national languages!
In Moldova, Romanian and Russian cultures meet and you can learn a great deal about the local culture in this utterly unspoiled corner of central Europe. Living with a Russian-speaking family in Chisinau - the small and charming capital of Moldova - you will be able to explore the enchanting sights of this developing city while you immerse yourself in the Russian language.
Chisinau blends European and Soviet influences with just a touch of 21st century chic. It's a great place for you if you love the arts, offering great museums, galleries, and spectacular operatic and ballet performances.
Projects Abroad also offers projects in Teaching, Care, Medicine, and Journalism in Moldova. By starting your time in Moldova on a Language Project with a month of classes in Russian you will certainly benefit if you then choose to continue on another volunteer project. This will allow you to put your new language skills to use in a practical work setting.
The standard Moldovan language is considered by most linguists to be identical to standard Romanian, which is an eastern Romance language. Colloquial spoken 'Moldovan' differs from Romanian because it has a distinct Russian influence. Native Russian is spoken by a significant minority of the population. Moldovan culture has the same roots as Romanian culture, and has been influenced by Roman colonization, the Byzantine Empire, neighboring Slavic and Magyar populations, Ottoman Turks, Slavic and Russian culture and most recently Western Europe, especially France (French influence can be seen in literature and art).
Chisinau, your base while volunteering abroad, is an enchanting old city, with tree-lined boulevards, vibrant markets, picturesque parks and plenty of other activities and attractions for the visitor. From the suburbs it is a short trolley-bus ride into the city center, where you will find a wide range of restaurants and bars to suit all tastes and budgets. Moldova has many surprisingly good attractions, especially its museums and art galleries. If you like the performing arts, you will love the opportunity to see some spectacular ballet and opera performances.
From this region it's also easy to explore the vineyards around Chisinau or the monasteries in Orhei. You might want to see the Trans Dniester region, which is still run unofficially as a self-styled republic. You can also travel further into the former Soviet Union and visit the Ukraine, which is only a few hours train-ride away.
You can also choose to take a short 14-hour or 30-hour course in Russian while participating in one of our volunteer programs in Moldova. These courses are tailored to your needs and run alongside your volunteering abroad placement. If you are planning to spend at least three months volunteering in Moldova you can also choose to take a 60-hour course which will run alongside your main project.

The medieval origin of the building is obvious from the architecture of the towers. Indeed in the Middle Ages, this was the royal palace, the Palais de la Cité, after the island of the same name in the middle of the Seine River. It was home to King Louis IX, later Saint-Louis, who had the jewel-like Sainte-Chapelle built within its grounds.ShareIt was also the seat of his grandson King Philippe IV le Bel, who put an end to the worldly (but not literary) existence of the Friar Templars. We owe Philippe the magnificent Salle des Gens d'Armes (Hall of the Men in Arms), one of the most impressive examples of lay Gothic architecture still in existence (left.)
But in the course of the 14th century, French Kings abandoned the Palace of the Cité, which, though no longer a royal residence, retained administrative functions, such as the Treasury. It became the seat of the Parliament of Paris, the highest court of justice in and around Paris until the Revolution. (Read More.)

I always think it so interesting when a Palace is turned into a prison.

Many thanks for the link, Elena!
Muse, the palace-to-prison story was not uncommon during the Revolution: it happened to the Luxembourg too. La Force was a former mansion too...

Just a neat little thing SI.com did for the playoffs.
Zackmann was right, we need more Griffin, and if you are not on the wagon yet, get on it.
I was skeptical when we spent our first round pick on a DB, but I have been proven wrong. Especially with the season that the pick that I wanted (in all my football genius) had (Meachem).
Once again Coach Fisher proved why he is there and I am gonna be sitting on my couch on Sunday! Albeit in my autographed #33 alternate jersey. Yeah, your're jealous!

Hafa Adai! Greetings from the tropical Island of Guam! After eleven long days of steaming in the Pacific Ocean, we finally arrived here in Naval Base Guam, here in Agat, Guam!
On my blog post when we reached Hawaii two weeks ago, I wrote about how BRP Ramon Alcaraz (PF16) performed in the Pacific. I talked about her ability to endure unfair winds, unclear skies, and not-really-following-seas. Fortunately in this leg, we did not have the rough seas. The sea is extremely calm on our 11-day voyage from Pearl Harbor to Guam.
Through my daily journal, I brought you guys with me in our almost three thousand plus nautical miles of smooth sailing from the tropical island of Hawaii to the equally beautiful Island of Guam. By the way, Guam is known to be the place where every American day begins. Remember, the time zone here is +10GMT, which means the time here is 20 hours ahead of Hawaii! This is one of the places that experiences sunrise ahead of the rest of the world! I am sure that everyone in the ship is one with me in my cheers not only for being back on land , but also for our two day stopover in this American territory here in the Marianas Island chain. Many activities are lined up for the crew here in Guam. The Filipino community in this part of the world will host gatherings and sponsor group tours for the ship's crew. Upon our arrival this morning, just after all lines were secured and doubled up, we were welcomed by our kababayans! Waiting for us at the dock is a group of excited Filipinos waving their flags while cheering Hafa Adai! We really felt their genuine and warm welcome- no doubt on that.
Well, before I head off to see what Guam has to offer, I believe I owe you some updates on our last day in the Pacific on our Hawaii-Guam leg. Well, the Pacific became extremely kind to us again and gave us a very smooth ride with the waves. We took advantage of this by conducting a Man Overboard drill in between the extra "project" of the "working party" which I extensively discussed on my last post. Yes friends, we also need to practice the procedure in case there is some dumb-ass who will lose his mind and jump overboard- hopefully no one does it. Aside from the spot paintings, quarterdeck renovations, and over-all cleaning to prepare the ship for the open house in Guam, nothing super significant took place. As I've said, it was a super smooth sailing from Hawaii to Guam- literally and figuratively. So that was it, really. Not so exciting, yeah?
Soon after the amenities and formalities of our arrival, it was time for the Public Affairs team to work. We are all set. Unfortunately, same problem in San Diego and Hawaii is hitting us again. Seriously, Internet access problems do not want to leave us. Our pens are all ready and our heads are full of stories to write, but the setback, we have no means of sending them! Oh no! Thanks to the good heart of our kababayan, Cpt Ken Ola of the National Guard who saved us from our misery. I am literally using office desk at the moment, while munching on his left over cocoa roast almonds. Not bad for a cramming blogger. Sweet.
Anyways, this afternoon, we will have a lunch fellowship hosted by the Filipino Community in a resort called Leo Palace here in Guam. We are all looking forward to authentic Filipino and Chamorro cuisine! This is the best treat after almost two weeks in the Pacific! Yes! But for now, i have to do finish all my compliances. Busy E! I am very lucky if I make it to the lunch! *wishful*
I will keep you posted on the happenings here in Guam, same as usual. By the way, for more updates, follow me on twitter at www.twitter.com/erroldelacruz. Csi Yu'us Maase! (Thank you and God bless).
