Article By: Andy Crouch
Ask a brewer in New England for a Ray McNeill story and prepare to either be uplifted or appalled. On one hand, stories abound of his generosity to other brewers, with heaping contributions of freely given technical advice or much needed raw ingredients donated in a pinch. On the other, darker hand you'll find a multitude of less glowing reviews, from angry, self-righteous tirades to allegations that other brewers have stolen his recipes.
A recent profile piece in the Boston Globe attempted to gently pull back the covers on the somewhat reclusive McNeill. While it went far to capture the engaging ambience of his no-frills pub, it only provided mere hints as to the moody character that lies within him.
A common, early image of McNeill is one where he dressed in brightly colored Zuma pajama pants, a tie-dyed t-shirt, no shoes, and frizzy black hair. McNeill's hair is now cropped short, lightly graying at the temples, and he sports a simple knit sweater and jeans. Instead of toiling over mash tuns and bottling operations, McNeill now makes sales calls from his office apartment perched in the slanted rooms above the pub that bears his name. He keeps the books, makes deposits and takes orders. A classically trained cellist, McNeill - the bohemian spirit and pub owner - has turned into a respectable Brattleboro, Vermont businessman.
When he first considered opening a brewpub, McNeill approached the task the best way he knew how: by reading every brewing text he could find. He would select a technical brewing manual, read it cover to cover, and then start all over again. After spending time training at the Catamount Brewery in White River Junction, McNeill eventually started brewing on his own system at his pub.
When he opened McNeill's Brewery in a rundown building in downtown Brattleboro, a structure that once served as a police station, a town office hall and a jail, McNeill had a vision. "I was trying to create a sort of social meeting house for the town.You know that stupid television show 'Cheers'? That actually happens here. That's what this bar is like." The bar's insular atmosphere can prove challenging for outsiders. "Some of them get it right away and some of them don't," says McNeill. "Some people from out of town just figure it out right away. I've seen people from out of town, within twenty minutes, were on a first name basis with another half dozen people. If some people live in some real cloistered suburban place, they're probably not going to figure it out. But a lot of them do. If people don't know who I am, I certainly try and encourage that. If I see someone from out of town, I try and start a conversation with them right away. I go a little bit out of my way to do that."
From the start, McNeill focused on brewing traditional beer styles. "I'm really interested in beer styles, in what makes 'pilsner' pilsner," he says. "And what makes pilsner different than Budweiser. Then going a little further, what makes north German pilsner different from south German pilsner different from Czech pilsner. And I became a pretty serious student of that."
McNeill is not shy about his approach to brewing traditional beer styles. "To some degree, I know this sounds a little egotistical, but to some degree with some beer styles, I define them, at least in the Northeast. The basic premise is that we don't make any beers that I don't like. For instance, I don't like Belgian Tripels so I never bothered to learn - well I know a little bit about them but I've never made one. I never went that far because I didn't want to. I think it makes sense that if you're a chef and hate cake, it's unlikely that you're going to put your heart and soul into becoming a great cake baker."
He points to his Alle Tage Altbier, a beer widely praised among beer enthusiasts and in beer competitions, as being one of his best accomplishments as a brewer. "My Alt beer is one of the best anywhere," he flatly states. The history of McNeill's Alt beer, however, is not so well-regarded. "I had this palette of very pricey Czech malts and mice were getting at it.," says McNeill. "And so I needed to use it while I still could. I was already throwing some of it away. We used to have a mouse infestation here but I haven't seen a mouse here in years. So the mice were getting into this malt and so I was going to either have to throw a thousand dollars worth of malt away or do something with it. So, we we're so stressed out for production and there was no time to make a lager beer, which is what this malt was really made for. It was Moravian malt from Czechoslovakia, which we still use. So I had to come up with an ale. I had to come up with something that I could make relatively quickly, so I launched a big alt investigation."
McNeill does admit that he brews some beers solely for business reasons. "We make a couple of beers here that I just have no interest in," he says. "But there's some market demand for that type of beer. So there are like one or two beers that we do it just because I know it's going to sell. I don't even know why we bother at this point because everything sells."
In creating his recipes, McNeill starts with an idea, and then researches the style thoroughly before embarking on a batch. "I would decide, 'Ok, I'm going to make kolsch. What defines kolsch?' And I would read anything that I could find about kolsch and try to determine what raw materials I would be using if I lived in Koln. I also have a couple of friends who are skilled brewers who have traveled all around the world and have extensive notes. So I would often ask them, 'Tell me all about all of the kolsches you have ever had.' They would just email me their notes. I would talk to anyone who had ever had it, especially brewers that have been there, and get any samples I could possibly find. Then I would buy the raw materials and make kolsch. I've been very effective at doing that."
McNeill firmly believes that traditional methods must be employed to achieve true-to-style results. "There have been other brewers who have made kolsch, but they were using Ringwood yeast and you can't make kolsch with that yeast. You can't make it with British malt. You can't make it with British hops. It was just all wrong. We don't do that. We're lucky enough that the main yeast strain we use here has a very neutral flavor profile and allows me to paint what I want on the canvas with malts and hops. Yeasts with stronger flavor profiles are more easily identifiable. I think it's a little like if you're a painter and you're trying to paint, you want the canvas to be white. If the canvas is pink to begin with, that's going to come through somehow in everything that you do."
With Ray McNeill, you just never know what you're going to get. The same can be said for his beer. Order a pint at his pub, and you may have an entirely memorable experience. Beyond the hype, the beers on tap at McNeill's Brewery are usually worth a special trip in their own right. But pop the cap on a 22-ounce bottle that looks to have been hand-labeled by an uncoordinated child, and you may find yourself with a flat, insipid version of that same style. Carbonation levels pose a continuing problem for the brewery, though concern there is hardly palpable.
While you can pick up a few bottles at the pub, the distribution of McNeill's beers outside of Vermont is spotty at best. Outside of the Green Mountain State, you may occasionally run across an occasional single, neglected bottle of Dead Horse IPA orphaned on a package store shelf - or an even rarer pint of draft Extra Special Bitter.
Behind the facade of the little red house on Elliot Street, with a deeply slanted roof, lurks the lair of Ray McNeill. Pass through a door off the main bar room, down a rickety metal staircase (pause to note the bitterly cold wind whistling through sizable gaps in the exterior siding) and watch your step, you find yourself in the scariest brewhouse in America. The brewhouse at McNeill's Brewery is a freezing cold dungeon that, in a testament to the free-spirited, laissez faire nature of Brattleboro, has not been condemned. God bless the poor brewers who have toiled in this evil, inhumane environment to produce a flavorful range of ales and lagers.
For his part, McNeill misses spending time in the crowded, dank brewhouse. "I used to love to make beer," he says. "The physical act of brewing was like sex to me. I just loved it. If I had a day off, if it was Christmas, if it was my birthday, I wanted to make beer. And that changed. I think it changed when we got the bigger brewhouse. Everything was more automated. When the manual labor got reduced, it lost a lot of its appeal to me. Before, I was doing this by hand. Now, we're just throwing switches."
Following his lead, I ask McNeill if he misses the loss of intimacy with the machinery. "It's more like a loss of intimacy with malt," he says. "I liked being a production brewer. I think I was actually happier being a production brewer. If, and when I get the new brewery open, I am probably going to head production for some time until I get things dialed in. This brewery will continue to operate and I will fire up the new one. When the new one is fired up and running smoothly, the people working here are probably going to start working there."
Rumors that McNeill plans to expand his operations beyond the Elliot Street pub have scored more mileage than a New Yorker in foliage season. For his part, McNeill speaks vaguely about a timetable and plans for expanding to a new package facility. He prefers to talk about what he would like to do with additional space and equipment. "I'm trying to figure out a way that I can package all of the beers in 22-ounce bottles for Vermont distribution, while putting out another six or eight or ten of these beers in 12-ounce six-packs for wider distribution," he says. "Sooner or later, all of the beers in the new plant will be filtered and krausened. None of the beers are filtered now. Krausening is remarkably effective in giving shelf stability to beer."
During our wide-ranging, several hour conversation, we switched gears frequently to discuss a variety of topics. At one point, McNeill offered his views on the so-called 'extreme beer movement'.
"I think it's a bunch of hokey crap, by and large," he says. "With the exception of Dogfish Head, because I think that Sam (Calagione) really thinks that getting that spoiled grape juice out of the refrigerator and throwing it into a beer is a good idea. He is out there but he is genuine about it. I think that most of the other ones are just trying to make money through marketing hooey. They come up with the bizarre beers in an effort to appeal to a certain member of the public who thinks that a 21-percent (alcohol by volume) beer has got to be great. In fact, most of it sucks. So that's what I feel about the 'let's pour some maple syrup and raisins and some pineapple juice in our beer, we'll add two or three more yeast strains and store it in a Jack Daniel's barrel and then we'll put it in a cutesy little blue bottle and sell it for twenty dollars each and try and get press all around the world with it.' It's just hooey. It's PT Barnum crap. My opinion has always been, 'if you're a really good violinist, you play the violin. If you suck, you get an electric violin, and a fuzz box, and a wah-wah pedal and then no one has to know that you really suck.' For the record, and you can print this if you want, if you believe that Sam adds hops every minute for 90 minutes in his 90 Minute IPA, then I've got some beachfront property in Colorado you might be interested in. That's marketing hooey. I've only met Sam once, and I really like his beers, but that's just ridiculous."
Ask McNeill about beer geeks, and he launches into a tirade about the arrogance of homebrewers, complete with several dusty anecdotes.
"Well, there's a yin-yang thing for you. Homebrewers can be very rude and egotistical and arrogant. Years ago, I was buying a house and the realtor suggested we get someone to inspect the house.When I got there, my now ex-wife said to me, "This is John and he's a homebrewer.' And I said, "If I help you out with your homebrewing, maybe you can cut the bill in half." I was just kidding and it was just a joke. The guy deadpanned and said, "I don't think I need any help with my brewing." So I dropped the subject completely. A little later, as we we're walking through the house, I said, 'So John, how often do you make beer?' He said, 'Well I make beer about six or eight times a year.' I said, 'And how long have you been doing that?' He said, 'Oh, I've doing that for about six or eight years.' So here is a guy, who by his own admission has brewed forty or fifty times in his life. At that point, I had overseen the production of a thousand or fifteen-hundred brews and this guy thinks I don't have some information that he doesn't have. It was absurd. So they can be a little like that. I think there's a difference between beer geek people and homebrewers. Homebrewers can be disrespectful and arrogant. I don't care what anybody says, there's a big difference between making beer a few times a year in your garage and reading thousands of pages of technical literature and then making thousands of beers. Beer is a weird thing. It doesn't come with a scorecard. If you're a golfer and you shoot 112, you know that you suck. But if you're a homebrewer and you make a third-rate beer, you probably think it's great. A a lot of homebrewers think they are lot better than they really are."
During my visit, I watched McNeill play genial host to guests of his pub, myself certainly included. He occasionally floated between tables, talking with regulars, hugging friends, buying rounds, and even sitting down to talk with complete strangers. Watching him in his own environment, it is clear that few pub owners in New England are so closely identified with their establishments. The pub is perfectly named: It is indeed 'McNeill's' place.
Our conversation went on at length beyond the above topics. There's probably another hour of tape covering a range of topics, from McNeill's debunking of the myth that open fermentation provides different results from closed fermentation, to why craft beer has limited growth potential, and ending with a rant on why Stella Artois is worse than Budweiser (you can save four bucks buying Budweiser). But as with all things Ray, these are stories for another day and another visit.

Here's my first fanpost, since I havcen't seen anything mentioned of this. Hope I get this right.
Was browsing the interwebz and found the following:
Giants signed to reserve/future contract:
G Chris White
DE Craig Marshal (practice squad last season)
TE Ryan Purvis
Link to page:
Any thoughts on these 3? Important or newsworthy? Looks like Purvis was team mate with JPP . White got some time with Packers, Seahawks, and Texans (giants training camp). Purvis was at USF with JPP.

On Saturday, February 5th, the Socialist Party of California & the Socialist Party Los Angeles Local will hold a joint meeting at 2617 South Hauser Boulevard in Los Angeles, CA.
9am - 12pm
State Chair Stewart Alexander will conduct elections for the State Party as well as setting forth an agenda for the upcoming year. All Socialist Party members are encouraged to attend and submit their vote.
12:30pm on
The Los Angeles Local will hold an educational seminar for new Party members and those with an interest in joining the Party, as well as issue progress reports for the committees created at the December 2010 organizing meeting.
We'll be taking a few big steps during this meeting:
First, we'll establish an organizational framework for the State Party as we move into 2011.
Secondly, we'll be making a serious effort to combat both the disinformation campaigns enacted against socialism, as well as the omission of socialist ideals, principles, and history from the U.S. educational system. A Los Angeles Local member recently brought to our attention the importance of educating the public about socialism in a way that's easily digested, and we are going to start immediately. This will be an ongoing effort.
In addition, several of the action committees in the Los Angeles Local have made concrete steps toward achieving their goals, and the meeting will provide an opportunity for the committees to share their progress with the Local and potentially recruit new committee members.
We sincerely hope you join us at this critical meeting. We are working hard to provide a socialist alternative to the working class in California. We cannot achieve this without your help.

On tap at the brewpub.
The beer pours a golden color with a white head. The aroma is heavy on the bready malt with some lemon and orange citrus notes mixed in. The flavor is heavy on the grassy and floral hops with some bready malt and yeast mixed in. The beer is very flowery and fruity tasting overall. The alcohol is very present and affects the drinkability. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation.

This beer, with it's golden color, flower nose, and citrusy refreshing taste, is easily my favorite micro brew. Prefect balance of malt to hops makes this beer especially easy to drink, but it is complex enough for even the biggest beer snob to enjoy. Amos Lowe is the man.

Thamesmead boxer all set for title defence
Updated 1:14pm Tuesday 11th February 2014 in Sport
THAMESMEAD world champion Ryan Barrett is set to take on Hungary's Gergo Vari at the Camden Centre later this month.
Barrett, 31, took the vacant WBU welterweight title in Germany before Christmas, avenging a previous loss to Geoffrey Munika with a third round knockout.
But he will be back on home turf on February 21 against a rival who boasts 11 wins from a 15-fight career and the Thamesmead boxer admits he is putting his career on the line.
He said: "I have to keep upping my game and keep winning.
"If I lose again I will call it a day. I train a few lads at the Gumshield Gym in Eltham and will concentrate on training them when I retire.
"But I feel as though I have a few good fights left in me yet."
Barrett has had a good career, winning the English title and challenging for British and world honours, but claims he has been frozen out in the UK.
He said: "I don't get many opportunities to box in Britain anymore, and that's why I've had to take fights abroad.
"I know I'm not going to get another shot at the English or British titles, and I don't know why. I just don't seem to get a fair crack of the whip in Britain.
"Even at the height of my career I didn't get any recognition. I remember being ranked number five in Britain and I still didn't get a crack at a title.
"My ambition was always to win the British title, I always wanted to put that Lonsdale belt around my waist.
"But I'm not going to get another shot at it, so I have taken another route instead."
Barrett added: "I'm a fighter and will fight anyone, but I deserve a few weeks to prepare.
"Apart from Mickey Helliet not many of the promoters could put together fights which made sense to me, so I'm glad our paths crossed.
"Apart from Kell Brook, there's nobody in England who I wouldn't fancy taking on."

What is up with my N4 order.
Okay, update to my last post
My Google Wallet order page has remained the same since i ordered from the UK on december 4th
via i.imgur.com
BUT I recently noticed in my play store orders page it has changed to this!
via i.imgur.com
As you can see, it has changed to Pre-ordered! It used to be pending.
Does this mean it has been backordered? As you can see in the first picture, I ordered in the first 10 minutes after it went on sale in the UK with 1-2 week shipping promised.

After the flood... the big clean-up starts
8:03am Wednesday 19th February 2014 in News
UNDER WATER: Hylton Road – pictured under water last week – should reopen to traffic today after the clean up operation.
WORCESTER is getting ready for the big clean-up as water levels start to fall following some of the highest floods in living memory.
City mayor Pat Agar paid a visit to some of the workers as they used power washers to clean the roads and pavements outside the new Worcester Arena in Hylton Road. It is hoped the road will be open to traffic some time today (Wednesday).
Cllr Agar said: "This is just the start of a major city-wide clean-up that will take several weeks, but I am very proud to see what a fantastic job our city council staff are already doing. I know that, once the water levels fall further, they will have our great city looking beautiful again as quickly as possible."
Gheluvelt Park has now reopened, but the bridge connecting the main park to the conservation area, by the tennis courts, is still closed because of the flooding. The city council is asking park users to keep to the footpaths because the grass is sodden.
The Severn at Diglis was at 4.1 metres at 4pm yesterday, and the Environment Agency said significant flooding from the river will go on until at least tomorrow.
In Upton, the bridge across the Severn was due to reopen to traffic using a convoy system at 5pm yesterday. However the
But for many, the struggle is not yet over. Residents of a rural hamlet between Kempsey and Severn Stoke have been building their own flood defences to keep rising waters at bay.
Early yesterday morning, the water level rose some nine inches and entered two houses at Sandford, but the home-made bund kept it out of five others.
District councillor David Harrison said: "This is not river water, but water from a brook which flows down from Kerswell Green.
"It flows through a culvert under the A38, but a gate in the culvert has been closed to keep the rising river water back. Normally, this gate is closed or a week or ten days at a time, but it's been closed for much longer, causing the water from the brook to back up.
"Although the water has got into two houses, the residents have built their own bund and are also pumping water out."
The fire service sent a response officer to Sandford yesterday morning to make an assessment. The officer gave safety and flooding advice to the affected residents and the incident was then passed to the Environment Agency.

Growth isn't always quantitative; it isn't always measurable by the day or week. But in stages, lower and simpler forms can develop into higher and more complex forms.
And while the progression of these stages is neither a constant nor a guarantee, it's clear that New England Patriots rookie draft picks Jamie Collins, Logan Ryan and Duron Harmon have reached the next one.
Sunday night's frigid battle at Gillette Stadium versus the Denver Broncos was the venue for them to do so. (more…)

Being able to earn a business education in a virtual classroom is sending many existing and future professionals back to school with a purpose. The following online MBA tools can transform a degree path into a pre-career path.
- Laptop Computer: It might seem like a no-brainer that online MBA candidates should be able to travel with their connection to classmates and professors, but not all students go that route right away. The ability to tap into the academic workflow from anywhere, at any time can significantly enhance the hours spent working toward a degree.
- Smartphone or Tablet PC: Although smaller and less powerful than a full-fledged laptop, these micro-computing tools also offer significant advantages to the online MBA student. Mobile applications exist to help students take notes, download lecture audio, or calculate complex financial problems with ease.
- News Feed Subscriptions: Whether the student prefers RSS/Atom feeds or traditional print media, staying on top of the news in business and finance is a must for anyone pursuing an online MBA. Tools are available through most modern computing devices to read online news, and magazine subscriptions can be ordered through paper mail or online.
- Kindle or eReader: For students whose eyes strain easily staring at a laptop or desktop computer screen, may prefer the kinder, gentler reading environment of an eReader. These tools can make reading long documents less of a chore to parse and process.
- Twitter: No longer just a platform for social exhibition, Twitter has emerged in recent years as a hub of information of all varieties. Students who judiciously follow business and financial info sources might find themselves ahead of the game and at the head of the class.
Of course, with any online MBA, tools aren't going to allow a student to coast through coursework without effort. Possession and disciplined use of the right online MBA tools, though, can skyrocket the effectiveness of the educational experience and deliver enhanced benefits to any career-minded MBA candidate.

Thanks for the positive comments on understanding my reducing my blog posts. Life certainly does get busy sometimes!
For me, this week it finally sunk in that I am moving to the UK! For so long in my mind it's been a "One day" kind of event. So I'd look at flats in Cambridge, or look at the news of what was happening in that area- but all with the safety of knowing I didn't have to do anything because I wasn't moving yet. I no longer have that knowledge. I am moving in 11 days!
Things are happening quickly now to prepare me for moving. My last day of work in Canada is tomorrow. My flight is booked to leave. I'm trying to sell my car. I'm starting to cancel important things- like my cell phone services and insurance for my car. And worst of all- I need to start packing up my things. It's happening guys- I'm leaving.
Most real of all was over the weekend, my friend had a farewell party for me. It was an amazing party, which was super fun. And I didn't even think about the fact that a lot of these people I won't see for a long time. Well, I didn't think about it until the next day anyways.
Some pictures of the party:
Mark and I. My friend had bought crowns for the royal family in UK
My closest friends in our crowns
My friend Cara, who hosted the party, got me a delicious DQ ice cream cake
Cara had made headbands with rain clouds, since it always rains in the UK
Playing "Game of Things" which if you haven't played- I highly recommend playing soon. So much fun!
Beyond the cake, decorations, and games- we also had a fire pit set up outside so we could have a fire all night. All in all, it was the best farewell party I could've asked for.
Has anyone else ever had a big move? What are some big things I need to make sure I do before leaving? Last time I moved (not counting moves within the same city), I was only 18 so there wasn't much I needed to think of.

Another hotel is coming to Erie's bayfront.
During a meeting Wednesday afternoon, the city of Erie's Design Review Committee voted 4-1 to approve the development of the hotel. The new Cobblestone Inn will be a smaller, "boutique-style" hotel that will be built on the south side of the bayfront. The Cobblestone Inn will be a three-story hotel with 56 rooms, and rates starting at under $100. Developer Tom Kennedy says the Cobblestone Inn won't affect development of other hotels along the Bayfront, because it will serve a different "niche market."
"A family might be considering Gannon for their student and they're up visiting from Pittsburgh, it would the ideal place for them to stay at a reasonable rate in a high-quality room," said Kennedy, the President of Professional Development Associates. "Someone might have a loved one at UPMC Hamot and might need to stay for a week, and need it to be a reasonable place."The hotel is expected to be completed by Memorial Day 2015

Dolphins sign S Ness
The Dolphins brought back S Nate Ness on Thursday, claiming him off waivers from the Seahawks.
Chargers waive LB Merriman
The Chargers waived LB Shawne Merriman on Tuesday after he passed an exit physical. Teams have until 4 p.m. ET Wednesday to claim him.
Dolphins' Nolan-led defense shines again
The Dolphins' defense, headed by new coordiantor Mike Nolan, confused and frustrated Bengals QB Carson Palmer in the second half of Miami's 22-14 victory.
Carpenter has 5 FGs, Dolphins beat Bengals 22-14
Dan Carpenter kicked five for the second game in a row - a rare NFL feat - and the Miami Dolphins managed to overcome another goofy play Sunday, beating the Cincinnati Bengals 22-14 to remain perfect on the road.
Dolphins sign S Amaya
The Dolphins signed S Jonathon Amaya from their practice squad on Saturday and placed FB Deon Anderson on the reserve/injured list.
Dolphins stalling in the red zone
The Dolphins have seldom reached the red zone this season, and when they are doing so, they are settling for field goals instead of scoring TDs due to an inconsistent running game.
Dolphins re-sign CB Oglesby
The Dolphins re-signed CB Evan Oglesby and waived DE Robert Rose on Wednesday.
Dolphins need to get run game on track
The Dolphins' rushing attack did little against the Steelers, which isn't a surprise, but the plays in which the Dolphins decided to run were surprising and helped cost them a victory.
Steelers almost fumble game away, hold on for win over Dolphins
An officiating mistake negated Ben Roethlisberger's late fumble, and the Pittsburgh Steelers kicked the game-winning field goal on the next play Sunday. Jeff Reed made an 18-yarder with 2:30 left, allowing the Steelers to escape with a 23-22 ...

Carpenter is the ninth kicker since 1950 to make 10 field goals in back-to-back games, according to STATS LLC. No kicker has more.
Carpenter hit a 38-yard field goal with 38 seconds remaining as Miami defeated Oakland 17-15 on Sunday.||||||| Carpenter has made all 24 extra points and missed only two of 15 field-goal attempts this season.


text: This Skyglass-piece is a slight twist on the traditional design, with an extra 8" of tubing to let the smoke flow through. Basically, this awesome new-design provides a more stable beaker-bottom base(that features bubbled-out eges instead of sharp angles)that allows you to decide if you're only looking for just the right-sized draw or that power-house that you know will leave you gasping for air; with constant and steady air-flow, it's easy to measure exactly how much smoke you're allowing to pass through the clear glass. 5mm-thick all-around, Skyglass surprises with another simple design on a piece that still provides all the enjoyable smoking-experience and durability of a leading-brand and more.

'Someone Else Will Put It Back' Documents Grocery Store Faux Pas
Dec 18th 2010 7:58PM The people who think this is "OK" because it creates "jobs" should look at this even further if they are so concerned about financial situations. Spoiled food left by inconsiderate customers result in store losses, which in turn means that the store will have to cut back on workers hours OR they can raise the price of the groceries to make up for it.

The deadline to apply for the 2012-2013 Canada Periodical Fund Aid to Publishers program is just over a month away. Applications must be in by December 12,2011.
In addition, Heritage Canada has announced a change to its definition of a "listing," which could affect some titles' eligibility for the grant.
Currently, "a listing that contains opinions and analysis is not considered a listing by the Canada Periodical Fund." The definition will be expanded next year to include listings that do contain analysis. Since the Aid to Publishers and Business Innovation grants exclude periodicals whose editorial content is more than 50% listings, the new definition could mean some currently eligible magazines may exceed the 50% threshold in 2012-2013.

PART II: True False (30)
Determine whether the statements below are true or false. Mark 'A' for true and 'B' for false.
PART III: Rewrite (60)
On your own paper rewrite each false statement so that they will be true. Be sure to address all the areas that are false. You will receive 10 points for each correctly rewritten statement. The rewritten false statements should be the only information on this paper.
16) Average speed can be defined as the total time it takes for a trip divided by the total distance.
17) As a ball falls freely, the acceleration each second is the same as the acceleration the second before or the second after.
18) The rate at which velocity or direction changes during a time interval time is called acceleration.
19) Acceleration means only that something is changing its speed.
20) Velocity and speed are not exactly the same thing because, while both tell how fast something is going, velocity also tells you the direction.
21) A p-t graph of constant velocity has a line with an infinite number of slopes.
22) The slope of the line on a p-t graph tells you velocity, and the slope of the line on a v-t graph tells you acceleration.
23) A ball is thrown into the air. At the highest point both the velocity and the acceleration are zero.
24) The SI unit of velocity is the meter-second
25) When a car rounds a corner at a constant velocity, its acceleration is zero.
PART IV Short Answer (30)
Answer the questions below on a separate sheet of paper. Be sure that your answers are in complete sentences. The only thing on this paper should be the answers to these three questions and nothing else.
26) Why does time enter twice the SI unit for acceleration?
27) Explain how it is possible to accelerate without changing speed.
28) If the line on a p-t graph is curved, what is the object doing? How would this same kind of motion look on a v-t graph? Sketch both graphs and label everything.
PART V Problems (40)
Solve the problems below on your own paper. Be sure that there is only one problem on each page. Since this section has four problems you should have four pages for this part of your test. You will receive credit based on how well you demonstrate your ability to follow the 3-column-method (A.K.A. the GPSM). N.B. Even if all you can do is column 1 you will receive at least 1/3 credit for that effort.
29) What is the acceleration of a car that goes from rest to 90 km/h in 6.0 seconds?
30) A stone is dropped from a 100m high cliff. How long will it take to hit the ground below?
31) What is the velocity of a cheetah that runs 130 m in 8.0 s?
32) If you drop a stone down a deep well and 3.7 seconds later you hear it splash in the water how deep must the well be? (Ignore the time it takes for the sound to travel up the well.

TRUE: Average speed can be defined as the total distance of a trip divided by the total time it takes for a trip
17) Answer: TRUE
18) Answer: TRUE
19) Answer: FALSE
TRUE: Acceleration means that something is changing its speed or its direction or both.
20) Answer: TRUE
21) Answer: FALSE
TRUE: A p-t graph of acceleration has a line with an infinite number of slopes.
OR: A p-t graph of constant velocity has a line with only one slope.
22) Answer: TRUE
23) Answer: FALSE
TRUE: A ball is thrown into the air; at the highest point the velocity is zero but the acceleration is still 9.8 m/s2.
24) Answer: FALSE
TRUE: The SI unit for velocity is the m/s or the km/h.
25) Answer: FALSE
TRUE: When a car rounds a corner at a constant velocity, its acceleration is not zero because the car is changing direction.
PART IV: Short Answer
26) Answer: Time enters twice in the SI unit for acceleration because it is used once for the time it takes to change position and again for the time it takes to change velocity.
27) Answer: Since acceleration means that an object is either changing speed or changing direction it is possible to accelerate without changing speed by simply changing direction.
28) Answer: If the line on a p-t graph is curved, the object is accelerating. On a v-t graph this would look like a diagonal line moving up and to the right. Here is a sketch of what the graph should look like:
This is a v-t graph of an object that is accelerating:
This is a p-t graph of an object that is accelerating:
PART V: Problems
29) Answer:

Hi everyone. Like always sorry for my English. I understand almost everything, but i still have a big problems with spelling.
Artem Anisimov given interview for local sport site in Yaroslavl. Here is him several answers.
How are you rate this season?
This season was bad for me.
Yes. Because i had a raises, but there were a long falls either. 17 games without points its too much.
But you still one of the best player in your team and with other russian players in the NHL.
I dunno. Maybe. Im not noted for my stats. But i know i need more scoring. I had a lot of moments, but i could not realised that.
What is the reason for this?
I need a more stability. I would work on that.
Sometimes coach doesn't given you icetime.
There were a different games. Sometimes i played 18-20 min, sometimes only 5 min. Its coachs decision. If you have a 5 min, you must show that deserves more. We must fight for own place in the team. I dont have to think about my icetime. I have to play with full dedication on any position. In this season i played on C, LW and RW.
What game in this season do you remember?
Winter Classic certainly.
And there was a game which would not want to remember?
How about a Tampa?
Oh come on. That was a good game. Many people like that. About my celebrate... I apologized for our team players and for TB players.
Which plans do you have on this summer?
I train two weeks. And i have a training program to september.
Recently there were rumors about your possible trade to Columbus for Rick Nash.
I read this. Well, its not my decision. I cant change that. My job to play hockey. If it happens it happens.
But would you want to stay in New York?
Yes of course.

Such a perfect, classic silhouette, but this is nothing new right. Really, I've just been on a red
shoe kick lately, and this shade of Isabel's heels gives these looks some much needed energy.
In my opinion, Yasmin Sewell does it best, but my major girl crush on her

Parents claim children 'punished for speaking English'
The Children's Commissioner for Wales has been asked to investigate claims that children are being 'admonished' for speaking English in Ceredigion's primary schools.
Angry parents have set up a website to compile the evidence and say they have been informed of cases of children being told not to speak English in the playground. They say one mother was told not to read English books to her child at bedtime and another pupil, aged six, was too frightened to speak the language at home in case he got into trouble.
The parents have sent an email to Keith Towler, documenting their concerns.
– Email to Keith Towler from parents
Some primary schools are operating a traffic light system for punishing children who are caught using English, both in class-time and in their own playtime with friends. Get caught once, it's a warning red light; second time you're on amber; third time it's green, go to the head.
The parents said they supported "the idea of a vibrant bilingual system" but were worried about how education policy was being implemented.
Keith Towler has confirmed that he has been made aware of the issue and will contact those concerned in due course.
Ceredigion Council have responded by saying they'd be happy to discuss the issues raised.
– Councillor Hag Harries, Ceredigion Council
We find it very difficult to believe that the accusations have any basis. It's also sad to read that the website developers say they are afraid to raise the issue with schools themselves.
Ceredigion's schools are friendly, inclusive and welcoming and have a very committed community ethos and no parents or interested parties should have any misgivings about discussing concerns freely and openly.

Help Us Meet Global Giving's $5,000 Challenge and Secure a 50% Match for your Gift!
The Food Family Farming Foundation has a tremendous opportunity to raise needed funds for The Lunch Box. You can help!
We are partnering with Global Giving in a Challenge Campaign to raise $5,000 from at least 40 of our friends and supporters during the month of June.
To help us meet our goal, our Board of Directors will provide a 50% match for all donations up to our $5,000 goal! If you give $50, your donation is worth $75. A donation of $100 will provide $150 to help schools and parents transform school food into healthy, scratch-cooked meals.
You can help us meet this challenge by donating at our Global Giving Project Page: Recipe for Healthy Kids.
Every school day, over 30 million children eat school lunch. With back-to-school season just around the corner, we are gearing up for a year filled with healthy meals that kids love. We're working to expand the recipe section of The Lunch Box and hope to add a nutritional analysis tool to help school staff and parents create menus that nourish children's bodies, minds and futures.
We strive to get more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains onto the school lunch plates of every child. To accomplish this, one of our goals is to add a Lunch Box tool that helps schools find creative ways to buy, transport, and store fresh, healthy food.
We can't do this without the support of friends like you! Please help us meet our $5,000 goal by contributing today.
Warm regards,
Chef Ann Cooper Chef Beth Collins
President Executive Director
P.S. You can also help us meet our goal by linking to Recipe for Healthy Kids on your Facebook and Twitter pages!

Business owners in downtown Doylestown are rolling out the welcome mat for shoppers and visitors Friday, just as many of them have done on the first Friday of every month for the past eight years.
It's not First Friday Doylestown, but it might be close.
Many downtown shops have special events planned for tonight to try to keep spirit of First Friday alive, said Jeanell Morgan, who owns the Monkey's Uncle boutique on East State Street.
Among the events planned for Friday night are:
- Fall Open House at Hen's Teeth and Chris' Cottage
- Fire Prevention Open House at Doylestown Fire Company
- Free First Friday Fun at Busy Bee Toys
- Friday Night Live: Teen Night (7th-9th graders) at the Y
- Book Release Party with Tiffany Schmidt at Doylestown Bookshop
- Wine & Chocolate Tasting at Nuts Plus Sweets and Treats
- at School of Rock, Doylestown
The organizers of First Friday Doylestown ended the monthly event abruptly in September, saying they were nearing the point where they would have to pay for police overtime and could not afford to do so.
Running in the early evening hours, First Friday required supplemental police protection, the cost of which was tracked by the borough in recent years. A few years ago, the borough agreed to waive the first $7,500 in costs, but First Friday would have to pay for police services beyond that.
Borough manager John Davis said last month that the group had used about $7,100 of that allotment, and the September First Friday would have generated a bill for the group for the first time ever.
With the official First Friday Doylestown organization disbanded, it looks as if the police overtime costs will remain with the borough.
On Thursday, Doylestown Borough Police Lt. Pat Penecale said his department planned no reductions to its staffing on Friday nights.
"We haven't changed our routine at all," Penecale said. "We'll bring in extra people and keep doing what we do."

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Rey Maualuga left Sunday's game against the New York Jets with an apparent concussion and a knee injury.
Maualuga attempted to tackle running back Chris Ivory in the first half of Sunday's game when he took a shoulder hit to his helmet and went limp. He remained down on the field for some time before leaving with the help of trainers. Dual injuries occurred on the play as the linebacker took a hit to the head, believed to be a concussion, while also having his leg pinned under him following the attempted tackle. The Bengals announced he was "questionable" to return with a knee injury, but according to Darryl Slater, he's out with a concussion.
Cincinnati will turn to fourth-year linebacker Vincent Rey while Maualuga is off the field. Rey has played every game the last three seasons on special teams, but has limited experience as a starting option. He has recorded 40 career tackles with the Bengals and is hardly a replacement for the team's most reliable middle linebacker.

Robin Cook
Just got done reading one of his books, and I rather liked it. It's my first Robin Cook book.
After reading this book, I'm convinced this guy needs to write the story for a future Star Trek movie, perhaps even the next one if they haven't already picked out a story.
I enjoyed the book, but there were plot holes that left me cringing. And a couple of the characters got on my nerves.
Over all the book seemed quite a bit rushed. There were places he could have taken the story, and it almost seemed like he was about to go down a certain avenue with the arching, but didn't. And the ending... I'll just say, it was... unfinished. Incomplete.
Now for the spoiler review.
As I gather this is Robin Cook's first attempt at stepping outside of the box in his usual storytelling. Plot synopsis courtesy of wikipedia:
Perry Bergman, President of Benthic Marine, has staked a lot into the current project - drilling into a newly discovered undersea mountain that
had strangely missed. It was supposed to propel Benthic Marine to the forefront of oceanographic research. However, the venture is not going as planned and Perry decides to check it out himself.
What was meant to be a quick tour to the undersea mountain turns into an unexpected and unbelievable adventure. He finds himself traveling with Suzanne, an attractive geophysical oceanographer; Donald, an ex-
officer; and Richard and Michael, who are hardened ex-Navy divers with a penchant for
While exploring the unusual undersea mountain, they are sucked into it and taken deep beneath the sea bed, deep , where they are introduced to a race of 'first'
-- human beings who occupied the
before the time of the
, who burrowed underground to survive an apocalyptic meteor shower that destroyed most life on earth. Once underground, they chose to remain there and observe our world above them as it slowly developed and evolved. Their world is called Interterra, a technologically advanced
with no
, pain, suffering,
or even
as we know it. It is revealed that their few attempts to interact with the world above in the past have resulted in the myth of
, the construction of the
sightings, and that their underground world is the cause of the
ocean currents
The problem is that the team wasn't asked if they wanted to go and are in a way
, and perfect or not they start to want out, and start planning an escape.
So, basically what I liked was the basic story, the ideas, the visuals.
Here's what I didn't like:
Missed oportunities
It becomes apparent by the end of the book, that Cook either really does intend for Interterra to be the perfect eutopia, or either forgot or rushed ahead of an apparent arch about how it's not.
There were problems that
saw that I was hoping were intentional problems that one of the characters would end up bringing up.
One was the worker clones. I don't know why I kept expecting them to be something more, maybe it's because I felt like the book kept hinting at it. But Robin Cook, it seems, was giving me mixed signals. It was the explanation that the Interterran resident, Sufa, gave of them:
They wear hoop ear rings "for some reason that I do not know" (that's the explanation that Sufa, a resident of Interterra gave of the worker clones designed to serve the people of Interterra. And there's something she "does not know" about them?)
The general description of them as having an actual community underground, beneath Interterra, that they reproduce, just gave me the idea that the Interterrans weren't keeping close enough tabs on the clones that were
to serve Interterra.
The clones were mute, so I kept expecting one of them to sneak up to one of the second gen humans and go, "My name is Lelotoo, I can get you out of here if you help me and my people." But that never happened.
It wasn't just the worker clone stuff though, it was little things about this so called perfect civilization that I was expecting to be a major part of the plot. Foolish me, I guess I just got done reading Jurassic Park and was expecting something along that line: a system with flaws that cause it to fail.
Incomplete Ending
This is where I really felt Robin Cook's agent was hounding him to turn in what he wrote, and Robin Cook went, "Ah, crap! Better finish!" It wasn't the ending when the Interterrans send the escapees back in time,
was a good touch. Unfortunately that was the last page of the book and you're left going, but... what about... Suzanne....?
Yes! What the hell happened to Suzanne? Suzanne was the one who stayed behind. And we would've liked to know how that turned out, unfortunately we don't get that. She appears before the Council of Elders and is awaiting the progress of what is happening to her former colleagues. The last sentence that we ever get of Suzanne is: "She was totally confused."
Oooookay. Then we have the part of the story of what happens to the ones who escaped.
The End
What?! What the hell happened to Suzanne? Okay, we can assume she ended up living amongst them. But a nice little "Epilogue" of some sort would have been nice.
If they ever make a movie, don't leave that out!

Adrian Peterson is known as a fierce competitor, but the Minnesota Vikings running back has decided he's OK with the team's plan to rest him for the remainder of the preseason. That goes against Peterson's initial reaction to the news, but the All-Pro running back is coming to grips with the situation.
Peterson returned to practice ahead of schedule after tearing the ligaments in his knee during an essentially meaningless game late last season, and he had hoped to get some preseason carries. That mindset has changed, however, as the running back told The Associated Press on Tuesday that he's decided to hop in line with the Vikings' view on things.
"I've been preaching to myself. I've been repeating it and trying to brainwash myself, teaching patience, patience, patience," Peterson said. "Because the last couple weeks I really haven't been hearing the things I wanted to hear, so I have to be patient. Patient. But I'm understanding it, man, and we're on the same page."
Peterson probably didn't have a say in the matter considering Minnesota wasn't likely to risk re-injury in an exhibition game, but it's good to see he's saying the right things anyway.
For all news and information regarding the Minnesota Vikings, please visit the Daily Norseman or check out SB Nation Minnesota. For complete coverage of all things football, stay tuned to SB Nation's dedicated NFL hub.

Short slow/relaxed roll video. Made this to put up on Scramble's wall just showing a roll on the first night using their new gi but figured you all might find it entertaining. Ignore the peanut gallery comments, we're a pretty relaxed school, also yes not only do I have 1 nostril filled with tissue because I was hit in the nose, at the end of the video I get hit again and the other nostril starts going. Good times.

Horrific Bicep Slicer. You'll need your volume on or else you won't really understand the gravity of the situation, also this might mildly upset some of you so watch at your own risk.

text: I think the Kings new GM Pete.D. should check out and pursue Tobias Harris from Orlando and Jeremy Evans from Utah. Both play the SF position and both are studs in their own way. Jeremy Evans is very athletic participated in 2013 dunk contest and finished 2nd place. Tobias Harris is a rising star who is comparable to a carmelo style of play. These are just a few of many underrated/undervalued players in the NBA. I was just curious to see if anyone knew of any other players that the Kings organization should take a look at that would either be an upgrade at a position or tend to a position of need. Possible trade scenarios? maybe trade that take care of the logjam at the guard and PF postion? or maybe trade that can free up more cap space that can be used to acquire a big name player? I'm just interested in what others might think/feel ..also I'm bored. So what do you think?
