Shi Davidi of Rogers Sportsnet, and the rest of his beat reporting compadres, have been speaking with Toronto Blue Jays center fielder Colby Rasmus this morning about his time in St. Louis. We've heard before about the levels of animosity between Rasmus and some of the more seasoned members of the baseball club, including manager Tony La Russa, but most of it was based on rumours or comments left by Colby's father on internet message boards.
Rasmus, as might be expected, is looking forward to the fresh start of a new season with a club that isn't based in Missouri:
It won't be like St. Louis where I'm just the young little puppy and everybody wants to teach me the tricks and beat me down and tell me that I'm doing things wrong.
That comment is one of rather hilarious timing considering what television analyst Gregg Zaun had to say about Rasmus yesterday on local radio in Toronto:
For me when a guy doesn't run balls out, that speaks volumes about character, and I know that if I was on that team I wouldn't have stood for it.
Obviously a guy like Jose Bautista, any of the other veteran guys on that team, shouldn't be sitting around on their thumbs worried about stepping on anybody's toes– especially a guy as young as Colby Rasmus. Make him run the ball out. Let him know that it's not going to be tolerated– you're going to play the game hard, you're going to play it the right way, or you're not going to play.
Great call, Zauner. I imagine it must be quite difficult for people like the former Major League catcher, believing in absolute methods despite living in a world where individuals respond to different types of motivation.
Rasmus also spent some talking about the media in St. Louis:
They'll take you for everything you can get. I didn't play good and like blood in the water, they came after me. But it's all good, I'm here today ready to play.
And on Tony La Russa:
I never felt good in St. Louis. I never got comfortable, and Tony wanted it that way. He always said he didn't want me to get comfortable, he wanted me to always stay working hard and doing this and doing that.
Of course, this is somewhat reminiscent of Tony La Russa's comments from Three Nights In August about another young outfielder at the time, who managed to have a pretty fine career in Major League Baseball.
A lot of young players fall into the trap where it's uncomfortable to push yourself on a daily basis. They settle for some percent under their max.
La Russa was speaking about J.D. Drew at the time, criticizing him for what appeared to the manager to be a lack of effort.
For what it's worth, I'll take reliable offensive and defensive production over a perceived lack of effort every day of the week and twice on Sunday. If Rasmus can get back to his 2010 numbers, I don't think anyone will care if it looks as though he's hustling or not.

At What Age Do Girls Stop Growing
Perhaps you think that girls continue to grow forever; this is not the case. Girls usually stop growing once they enter puberty, which is between ages 13 and 18. The amount of growth a girl experiences before puberty also depends on genetics. For example, if both of her parents
and their ancestors are very tall, then it is possible that she will grow to become tall too or if she has a family history of short-statured persons, this affects her growth. Another factor that determines your girl's growth levels is nutrition. If you feed her a balanced meal daily along with vitamins and plenty of water, there is a chance that your daughter could grow beyond puberty.
What Affects Growth of Girls' Breasts?
Sometimes genetics play an important part in your breast development as a girl but this is not always the case. As soon as you turn eight or nine years old, you may start to see small buds on your chest but this does not mean your breasts have fully grown because it is usually when you enter puberty that your breasts start to grow completely. If you are trying to lose weight as a teenage girl, your breasts may not develop fully.
Vitamins That Aid in Girls' Height Growth
Unless your daughter has a permanent medical condition that prevents her from further growth, there are vitamins you can take that aid in your daughter's growth. Visit your drugstore and purchase kid-friendly vitamins D, A and B as these supplements work well in helping her get taller. Also give your daughter foods that are rich in these vitamins such as leafy greens, citrus fruits and eggs. Calcium and zinc-rich foods, such as oatmeal and dairy products give your daughter strong bones and this is essential to healthy growth.
Normal Weight for Growing Girls
A newborn girl normally weighs between five and seven pounds while the toddler girl weighs between 27 and 35 pounds and this depends on the girl's nutrition, genetics and the health of the mother during her pregnancy. Elementary school-age girls usually weigh between 35 and 55 pounds while pre-teens and adolescent girls weigh between 95 and 140 pounds. If you want your daughter to have a healthy body, make sure she gets exercise and eats balanced meals daily.
There are several factors that determine the age at which your daughter stops growing and these include genetics, any medical conditions she has or puberty. You can help your daughter grow taller and maintain a healthy weight by giving her vitamins and making sure she exercises daily. You should also talk with your daughter's pediatrician to look for creative ways of helping her grow properly. Whether your girl stops growing during puberty or continues to grow beyond this stage, always let your daughter know that you love her despite her flaws or growth issues because this instills confidence in her for years to come.

For inveterate shopper Lynn Yaeger, combining restraint with small rewards spells success in Italy
8:00 A.M. Waking up in my $170 room at the Hotel Monna Lisa (27 Borgo Pinti; 39-055/247- 9751; www.monnalisa.it), I'm well aware that I've already used up two-thirds of my daily allowance. Really though, if you can't get all dolled up and swan through a 16th-century lobby, then whatever is the point of visiting Florence?Besides, I reason, the price includes breakfast.
Amount Left $80.00
10:30 A.M. You can kill a lot of time in this town looking at art treasures, but not today: I'm here to shop. On this trip, however, Pucci and Prada will have to wait. Even relatively affordable leather gloves from Madova (1R Via Guicciardini; 39-055/239-6526) now cost $85 due to the hideous exchange rate. Instead, I apply myself to finding a few affordable seductions: a $10 packet of Florentine stationery from Cartoleria il Parione (10R Via del Parione; 39-055/215-684) and a $2 pen topped with a wooden Pinocchio from the Straw Market (Loggia del Mercato Nuovo), where there are tons of trinkets for sale, but not a stick of straw in sight.
Amount Left $68.00
12:30 P.M. Florence still keeps to the ancient tradition of shutting up tight for lunch. I decide to have my own snack—a $15 Caprese salad and a Coke Light—in the rooftop Terrazza café of the department store La Rinascente (1 Piazza della Repubblica; 39-055/219-113), which stays open all day. The café has a view of that big marble pile known as the Duomo, and I give it a thorough once-over, dispelling any lingering guilt about this culture-free day.
Amount Left $53.00
2:30 P.M. The problem with lunching on cheese and tomatoes is that you're hungry two hours later. I pop into Giacosa Roberto Cavalli (10R Villa della Spada; 39-055/ 277-6328), a wild café where photos of Il Signore Cavalli framed in fake zebra fur hang above tables covered with ivory shagreen. My cappuccino and mini tart ring up to $3.75—approximately $1,625 less than one of the designer's dresses.
Amount Left $49.25
3:30 P.M. Because I'm not wasting time looking at frescoes and statues, I can spend hours at the jewelry shops on the Ponte Vecchio. But nothing, not even the flimsiest bracelet, fits into my budget.
Amount Left $49.25
8:00 P.M. I'm starving, but no one else in Firenze is apparently the least bit hungry. Except for two frosty dowagers, I am virtually alone at the chandelier-laden Caffè Gilli (39R Piazza della Repubblica; 39-055/213-896), which has been serving bistro food since 1733. I have the penne alla Bolognese, an insalata Gilli, and—why not?—a big bottle of mineral water. When the $38 bill comes, I am alarmed to see that the water cost $10.
Amount Left $11.25
10:00 P.M. Back in my room, I whip out my Pinocchio pen and stationery, tote up the expenses, and discover that there's money to spare. Now, if only $11.25 would buy those Madova gloves!
Total Spent $238.75

FREE Screening of the film "Good Food"
January 14th @ the Darkside Cinema in Corvallis, OR
Something remarkable is happening in the fields and orchards of the Pacific Northwest. After leaving the land for decades, family farmers are making a comeback. They are growing much healthier food, and more food per acre, while using less energy and water than factory farms. And most of this food is organic.
For decades Northwest agriculture was focused on a few big crops for export. But climate change and the end of cheap energy mean that each region needs to produce more of its own food and to grow it more sustainably. Good Food visits farmers, farmers' markets, distributors, stores, restaurants and public officials who are developing a more sustainable food system for all.
Please join us on January 14th, 2010 at the Darkside Cinema here in Corvallis for a film hosted by Oregon Tilth that is sure to make an everlasting imprint in your mind. Film starts at 7pm with discussion before (so come early) and after facilitated by Harry MacCormack, founder of Oregon Tilth and owner of Sunbow Farm.
~Donations accepted - proceeds go to South Corvallis Food Bank~
RSVP to firstname.lastname@example.com or call (503) 378-0690.

It was the last-chance moment of the war. In January 2007, President George W. Bush announced a new strategy for Iraq. He called it the surge. "Many listening tonight will ask why this effort will succeed when previous operations to secure Baghdad did not. Well, here are the differences," he told a skeptical nation. Among those listening were the young, optimistic army infantry soldiers of the 2-16, the battalion nicknamed the Rangers. About to head to a vicious area of Baghdad, they decided the difference would be them.
Fifteen months later, the soldiers returned home forever changed. Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter David Finkel was with them in Bagdad, and almost every grueling step of the way.
What was the true story of the surge? And was it really a success? Those are the questions he grapples with in his remarkable report from the front lines. Combining the action of Mark Bowden's Black Hawk Down with the literary brio of Tim O'Brien's The Things They Carried, The Good Soldiers is an unforgettable work of reportage. And in telling the story of these good soldiers, the heroes and the ruined, David Finkel has also produced an eternal tale—not just of the Iraq War, but of all wars, for all time.
About the Author
David Finkel is a senior writer-in-residence at the Center for a New American Security and the national enterprise editor at The Washington Post. He is the recipient of the MacArther "Genius" Fellowship. Finkel won the Pulitzer Prize for explanatory reporting in 2006 for a series of stories about U.S.-funded democracy efforts in Yemen. He lives in Silver Spring, Maryland, with his wife and two daughters. Email him at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Praise for The Good Soldiers…
"Finkel has made art out of a defining moment in history. You will be able to take this book down from the shelf years from now and say: 'This is what happened. This is what it felt like.'" —Doug Stanton, The New York Times Book Review
"Let me be direct. The Good Soldiers by David Finkel is the most honest, most painful, and most brilliantly rendered account of modern war I've ever read. I got no exercise at all the day I gulped down its 284 riveting pages." —Daniel Okrent, Fortune
"Over and over, I cried. I endured nightmares. I have read hundreds of books about war and almost two dozen books about the U.S. invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq. Most of them affected me. But none has affected me as deeply as The Good Soldiers." —Steve Weinberg, The Kansas City Star
"A whole generation of these men will (God willing) be coming home, and The Good Soldiers is as good a guide as I can imagine to who they'll be when they get here." —Devin Friedman, GQ
"[A] new classic . . . the reader cannot get enough . . . As a compelling read, The Good Soldiers is all good." —J. Ford Huffman, Military Times
"David Finkel has written the most unforgettable book of the Iraq War, a masterpiece that will far outlast the fighting." —David Maraniss, author of They Marched into Sunlight
"From a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer at the height of his powers comes an incandescent and profoundly moving book: powerful, intense, enraging. This may be the best book on war since the Iliad." —Geraldine Brooks, author of People of the Book and March
"This is the best account I have read of the life of one unit in the Iraq War. It is closely observed, carefully recorded, and beautifully written. David Finkel doesn't just take you into the lives of our soldiers, he takes you deep into their nightmares." —Thomas E. Ricks, author of Fiasco and The Gamble
"Brilliant, heartbreaking, deeply true. The Good Soldiers offers the most intimate view of life and death in a twenty-first-century combat unit I have ever read. Unsparing, unflinching, and, at times, unbearable." —Rick Atkinson, author of An Army at Dawn and The Day of Battle
"This is the finest book yet written on the platoon-level combat of the Iraq war . . . Unforgettable—raw, moving, and rendered with literary control . . . No one who reads this book will soon forget its imagery, words, or characters." —Steve Coll, author of Ghost Wars"Vivid and moving . . .Finkel's keen firsthand reportage, its grit and impact only heightened by the literary polish of his prose, gives us one of the best accounts yet of the American experience in Iraq." —Publishers Weekly, starred review
"A superb account of the burdens soldiers bear." —Kirkus Reviews, starred review

Could we send a manned mission to the outer planets?
Is it possible to NASA send the man to planets like Jupiter or Saturn? How long it would take? Do they have conditions for prospects of life?
Manned missions to any of the outer planets would be extrememly challenging. The planets themselves are known as gas giants because they are extremely big and have no solid surface! Humans would therefore not be able to land on them as there is nothing to land on! Flying in the upper atmosphere might be technically possible with a specially designed craft, but I think that it is safe to say that that is many years in our future.
These planets do have a lot of very interesting moons as well. Along with many small asteroid sized moons Jupiter has the four Gallilean satellites (Io, Ganymede, Callisto and Europa) and Saturn has Titan. These moons might be places that humans will one day walk on, maybe even live on and would be extremely interesting destinations, both as bases to study the planets they orbit and in their own right. Most of the discussions of possible ET life in the outer solar system focus on these moons, particularly Europa and Titan - which would make them popular destinations I'm sure.
I am not aware of any NASA (or any other space agency) plans to even research sending humans to the outer planets. That is likely to remain the case until we (by this I mean the human race) have successfully sent humans to Mars and back to the Moon. There is unlikely to be any public support to fund planning for such mission until it has been shown that we can send people to closer planets first.
Using current technology it would take several years for a space craft to reach the outer planets. Current plans put a trip to Mars, out closest neighbouring planet at 9 months there, 9 months back, and the outer planets are many times further than that.

Flash is great. Until it's not. In the cases where it's not great, it's really awful. Here, ironically, the Photoshop site on Adobe.com, is completely useless because the plugin is broken. This week alone I have heard or experienced the following complaints about Flash.
"Pandora is killing my machine, its pegged at 100% CPU/RAM usage. Turn it off, and everything works."
"I hate it when videos are in Flash – I can't see them on my iPad."
To be fair, Apple could just allow Flash on iOS, but if my i7 Quad Core with 12 GB of RAM is getting hammered from Flash on sites, I am pretty sure the iPad is toast.
I tried using the Adobe CS Live review tool that is baked into Photoshop (and I suspect other CS products). The experience was rubbish (not sure I am using that in the proper English manner – I mean that it was awful, rotten, slow and I never plan on using it again). The whole thing is (or seems) Flash based.
On the other side of the coin are sites like Mint.com and Google Analytics that are using Flash to improve the experience. Graphs and charts animate to life, unless you have the brilliant plan of I should check on these things with my iPad, then the experience is weird as big chunks are missing. As I have looked into it, it seems to me that these sites would be better served providing the content and the animations through HTML5, CSS3 and javascript. Without knowing the cost, both in terms of time and money, to switch over, perhaps there are arguments to sticking with Flash. When it works, and you have the hardware that supports it, the experience is solid.
Somewhere in the middle (as in not great, but not awful) are Flash/Flex apps. TweetDeck and Balsamiq Mockups live in this category. Some are pretty great and do their job splendidly. Others, I am looking at you Mockups, leave a lot to be desired. There is an inherently odd feel to how both react, or maybe more accurately, do not react. Neither feels 100% "native" to the desktop, and at times feel more like specialized views of web sites than actual programs.
Finally, it seems that even if you are able to make the experience perfect (or nearly perfect) and know that the users you have will have Flash and you do not care if the content is indexed by search engines, that the accessibility issues inherent in Flash would make it a no brainer to skip.
Are you avoiding Flash in your development? Have you found alternatives that work?

Power from Trees
Currently a team of MIT researchers are using platinum electrodes and ficus plants to discover the truth of feeble electric currents from trees. They have come up with an answer. They state that the pH difference between the soil and the living tree is the cause of creating electric currents. Now scientists are debating over how to use this power source for human benefits.

By Sean Gibson
ON SPIRITUALITY: "And trust me, I had the 2001 Porsche Twin Turbo. That car would do zero to 60 in three seconds, but it was nothing but a little kid pedal car compared to the wild ride the Spirit will take you on."
ON HUMILITY: " `But let me just tell you,' I screamed at God. `You better be real, because if you aren't, you will regret the day you ever messed with Stephen Baldwin.' "
ON PLEASURES OF THE FLESH: "I like to ask friends of mine, happy couples who seem to have a pretty good marriage, I will ask them, `How's your sex life?' . . . They will say something like pretty good or okay or no complaints here. Here's what I tell them: Imagine taking a healthy sex life and inviting the power of God into that exchange."
ON VENGEANCE: "Here I'd always imagined Jesus was the sweet, cuddly, loving dude, and suddenly I find out he makes Conan the Barbarian look like Conan the wimp. He didn't come with a guitar singing Kum Ba Yah. Jesus brought a sword to the earth, and he is still swinging it."
ON PROSELYTIZING: "God has called me to go and make disciples of the youth of America. That is what I am going to do, and if you try to stop me, I am going to break your face."

The first Jews who came to Minnesota in 1856, founding Mount Zion Hebrew Congregation, were part of the pioneering fabric of St. Paul. Theirs and future generations engaged in all areas of civic life. The women of Mount Zion, along with its Rabbi at the turn of the 20th century, founded Neighborhood House to help settle large waves of Eastern European Jews coming to the state. Over a century later, Neighborhood House is still serving immigrant groups entering Minnesota, now from Mexica, Laos, and Somalia among many other lands.
Mount Zion's building, dedicated in 1954 on Summit Avenue, was designed by Erich Mendelsohn, a world-renowned architect. Visitors come to the city every year to study the building. The visionary who helped pick Mendelsohn was Rabbi Gunther Plaut, who served the congregation for over ten years. During his time here, he wrote a history of Jews in Minnesota, a history of Mount Zion, and a commentary on the Torah [Five Books of Moses] that is used in over a thousand congregations around the world. He also served on many governors' commissions, helped to found the St. Paul Art Museum, and served as President of the St. Paul Athletic Association. Throughout Mount Zion's 150 years, its members have sought to fulfill Micah's words for the congregation and indeed all of Minnesota, to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God. ~Rabbi Adam Stock Spilker, St. Paul, MN
Mount Zion Hebrew Congregation, St. Paul, MN was founded in 1856 and received its territorial charter in 1857. It was the first Jewish congregation in the State. While it started as an Orthodox congregation, by 1872, it was in the vanguard of Reform Judaism. It has contributed to Minnesota diversity for 150 years. ~Steve A. Brand, Saint Paul, MN

The city of St. Paul had only been incorporated for two years when, in 1856, eight Jewish fur traders and clothing and liquor merchants founded Mount Zion Hebrew Congregation. The first services were held in a rented third-story room on Robert Street in downtown St. Paul. Mount Zion is a Reform congregation, and every Reform congregation in the Twin Cities and major Jewish organizations in St. Paul can all trace their existence to the leaders of Mount Zion.
Members of Mount Zion quickly became involved in all facets of building their new city, both through their business ties and in their service to others. In 1895, the women of Mount Zion founded Neighborhood House on the city's West Side, a settlement house that welcomed the large waves of Eastern European Jews then moving to Minnesota. In 1903, Mount Zion gave Neighborhood House to the city of St. Paul, and over the years, it has served waves of immigrants and refugees that have sought new homes in Minnesota. Today, Neighborhood House, located in the Paul and Sheila Wellstone Center for Community Building, continues to involve members of Mount Zion in its programs, including providing emergency services and language classes and a host of other offerings to Minnesota's newest arrivals from Mexico, Laos, Somalia, and other countries.
In 1954, led by Rabbi W. Gunther Plaut, the Mount Zion congregation made a conscious decision to stay in St. Paul, choosing a building site on Summit Avenue in the midst of several other landmark churches. The Temple board commissioned Bauhaus architect Erich Mendelsohn to design the temple. Today, 690 families gather regularly for religious services and to continue the congregation's service to its community.
"Throughout Mount Zion's 150 years, its members have sought to fulfill Micah's words for the congregation and indeed all of Minnesota, to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God."

Haywood game-time decision for Sunday night
June 5, 2011 - 11:14 AM
DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas Mavericks say backup center Brendan Haywood is a "game-time decision" for Sunday night's Game 3 of the NBA finals against the Miami Heat.
Haywood left Game 2 on Thursday with a strained right hip flexor. He was in practice gear when the Mavs held their morning shootaround Sunday, but neither he nor Dallas coach Rick Carlisle offered specifics on how much he was able to do in practice.
As he left the floor, Haywood said, "game-time decision," which is the exact phrasing Carlisle used a few minutes later.
Haywood has five points in the first two games of the finals. The series is tied at a game apiece.

19 April 2012 – HTC One X will be getting a minor software update, bumping up the version to 1.28.401.9.
According to Android Central, the minor patch includes a fix to the power management issue that is draining the One X's battery life as well as causing the overheating issue, an improved auto-brightness feature and the in-app menu and notification bar should work properly after the patch.
However, the Android version still remains at 4.0.3 instead of being upgraded to the latest 4.0.4 that can be seen on some of the Nexus members. The size of the update is about 30MB and it is rolled out over-the-air (OTA). Alternatively, you can go Settings> About> Software updates from your One X to download it.

So recently I had a a new vanity top cut and installed in my master bathroom made of a Ceasarstone remnant. The install went fine and the edge is nice and shiny but the tops seems dull compared to the polished edge. I tried a 3000 grit wet/dry polishing pad on my angle grinder in an inconspicuous spot under where the sink will go. It didn't come out so well, in fact it left some brownish burn marks. Has anyone here polished their Ceasarstone counters successfully? If so how did you do it and what did you use? |

Caesarstone has a low sheen, not a shine like granite. It is more reflective where light hits it. It's acrylic and quartz, not quartz, which is why it burned. You'll scratch the acrylic using abrasives before you'll get a shine on it. My installer dulled two small spots on my Caesarstone with Barkeeper's Friend while trying to clean off the epoxy. He wanted to attempt to buff out the spots. He took a 5 hour class from Caesarstone. After 2 1/2 hours of buffing with various Caesarstone-approved polishing pastes and pads, it only dulled a wider area of the countertop. We got a new countertop. |

You have the honed version, not the polished. You absolutely CAN NOT polish it. Pros can't even really polish a top, only the small edges, and only with the right equipment. It has to come from the factory polished. |
- Posted by Trebruchet (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Dec 21, 13 at 18:53
Allow me to respectfully disagree with lwo. Estone can be top polished, the only system that I know of is Steve's Polishing Pro System. I could link to other stone restorer's websites with pictures to prove, but I don't want to run into advertising problems here. |
I understand the difference between the honed and polished slabs. I guess my question is.... If I have the honed version, how was the edge polished to a brighter sheen than honed and why can't I do the same for the top? |
- Posted by Trebruchet (email@example.com) on Fri, Dec 27, 13 at 19:29
Grabbit: You can match the honed and polished version on the top, but you're going to have to invest in Steve's Polishing Pro System and practice. It's not considered a DIY project generally. |
- Posted by srosen (firstname.lastname@example.com) on Sat, Dec 28, 13 at 13:36
I agree with Trebruchet -but working with estone can be unpredictable. Lighter colors are easier than darker colors. I don't consider this to be a diy project as this can be easily turned into an epic adventure. Testing is needed and it would be in your best interest to hire someone who has a lot of experience with honing and polishing estone. |

Is Colorado the center of the "crafty" beer universe?
Colorado -- home to the Great American Beer Festival, the Brewers Association and 161 breweries -- is the center of the universe when it comes to craft beer.
But is it also the center of the "crafty" beer universe?
On Thursday, the Brewers Association, which represents small brewers nationwide, fired an oddly-timed shot over the bows of MillerCoors and Anheuser-Busch, blasting them for selling "crafty" beers without labeling them as their products.
"When someone is drinking a Blue Moon Belgian Wheat Beer, they often believe that it's from a craft brewer, since there is no clear indication that it's made by SABMiller," the Brewers Association statement read. "The same goes for Shock Top, a brand that is 100 percent owned by Anheuser-Busch InBev."
See also:
- Chicago's Goose Island will brew some of its signature 312 beer in Colorado's 970
- Blue Moon cooks up chocolate bacon porter and two more beers at the Sandlot
- Five things you didn't know about the Sandlot brewery at Coors Field
And both were born right here in Colorado, which could also be the home of the next big "crafty" brand, Goose Island, a formerly independent craft brewer that was purchased last year by AB, which plans to brew several of the company's products in Fort Collins.
Blue Moon was created inside Denver's Coors Field in 1995 at the Sandlot Brewery, now called Blue Moon Brewing @ the Sandlot, as Bellyslide Belgian White. At the time, there were only about 850 craft brewers in the country, as compared to 1,260 today. The seventeen-year-old brand has since gone national and has several variations.
Shock Top, which is also a Belgian White or wit, was first made at Anheuser-Busch's massive Fort Collins brewery under the name Spring Heat Spiced Wheat. This brand also has numerous variations. AB described it as the "third in a series of successful seasonal draughts, following Jack's Pumpkin Spice Ale and Winter's Bourbon Cask Ale."
And now, Goose Island, which the Brewers Association no longer considers a craft brewery because of its ownership change, has filed applications with the federal government to brew at least four of its major brands in Fort Collins.
The company has indicated that it will take these brands nationwide -- probably without the AB name on the labels either.
The Brewers Association statement came an odd time since Blue Moon has been around for seventeen years and Shock Top for six -- and neither one has ever put the parent company's label on the bottle.
But BA spokeswoman Julia Herz says it was in response to recent media coverage about megabreweries have been experimenting with craft beer.
"The association has never really issued a press statement like this," she says. "We do have positions...But this is a new direction on this one topic, but it is a topic that has been building internally...at the association and amongst our members. They are saying that the lines have been blurred over time and they are getting blurrier."

We trade seeds and plants, and yes, as far as I know... trading for seeds counts as a previous trade. ;) |
Hi ProudGM, I know we traded last year, and I feel I know you from answering seeds saving questions : ) Remy |

Hi Remy, Yes, I usually have many seed questions. I'm growing plants I've never grown before. I have traded seeds with hazelnutbunny, remy, diego01991, dirt_under_my_nails, and Ilovefarac. Does this count as enough trades? These are the only names out of 100 or more trades I've made that I found on the OBF posts. You can also check the rate and review forum if you'd like. |

Buying a new car advice recommendations
I wanted to bump the negotiated thread for cars couldn't do it so opening one. I have been talking to my parents to buy a new car and they agreed that the coming up year 2013 would be a good time to upgrade. We are planning to return our old CUV and hoping to get $8000 to $9000 lowering the cost of the model we are interested in buying. Now before the negotiation we were looking at what model works best and we have concluded that the Nissan Altima seems the to be the best choice at the moment affordable and great gas mileage 27/38. Now there is also the Nissan Sentra that goes 30/39 better gas mileage and cheaper however we can't feel the cars look. Why is it that the Sentra has better mileage than the Altima yet Sentra is cheaper? I was looking at a Toyota Camry, but the price is pretty high for the hybrid version. Honda seems good on mileage its just the look is not what I would look at. So I want to start doing research and hoping for some advice here recommend models. We are basically looking for a gas efficient car with a nice look basically also something affordable. Any car models that would be good recommendations? We are planning to probably purchase in the mid year to maybe endings of 2013. Price range $30,000 and down is what we are looking for.

English Crisps: A Field Guide
The potato chip may be an American invention, but the English have raised it to sublime levels of absurdity. A British company, Smith's, started flavoring chips, or crisps, in 1961, starting with basics like Salt & Vinegar. But the taste craze reached epic proportions; at the 2010 World Cup of Crisps, Scottish Haggis, Japanese Chicken Teriyaki, and Spaghetti Bolognese flavors debuted. Somehow, we don't think they'll last as long as these hits.
1. Prawn Cocktail
The chip that screams 1970s dinner party.
2. Hula Hoops
Short hollow cylanders in BBQ beef flavor.
3. Monster Munch
A pickled-onion-flavored puffed corn snack and a lunchbox staple.
4. Cheese & Onion
Likely the single most popular flavor in the U.K. Not a date-night chip.
3 More to Try:
Tomato Ketchup
The American condiment is no longer a supporting cast member with these crisps.
An acquired taste based on the yeasty, bitter spread.
Bacon-flavored winner of the 2012 World Cup of Crisps.

This letter is in response to a letter to the editor published in the September 11 issue of the Winona Post by Susanne Smith (Cochrane, Wis., resident) regarding a recent public meeting for a proposal of an industrial sand mine in Waumandee Township.
In the article, Ms. Smith was quoted as saying: Badger Bluff Sands alleges that the survey was done by a special interest group that skewed the results. Regarding statistics of a minority of the Waumandee Township populace who returned the survey, this is completely false. No member of Badger Bluff Sands made this statement, as Ms. Smith claims; those comments were made by individual residents of the township at the meeting. The members of Badger Bluff Sands do not acknowledge any survey (as many residents of the township do not), so no opinion or comment regarding one was needed from us.
When informed about the errors in her letter, Ms. Smith stated she would immediately contact the Winona Post and retract her comments from the letter. No retraction has been made after three subsequent editions of the Winona Post have gone to print.
Badger Bluff Sands recognizes the inherent responsibilities with our proposal for a mine. Ms. Smith should recognize the responsibilities of accurate commentary inherent when reporting to the public and hold herself accountable when informed of inaccurate information.
Ed. Note: No retraction was received by the Post.

Hours of Operation:
*During ski season the office is open an hour before the lifts open and a half hour after the lifts close. The office is not staffed on days when the Snow Bowl is closed.
The Camden Snow Bowl is typically open for skiing Wednesday to Friday 10 AM until 8 PM, Saturday, Sunday, Holidays and Local School Vacation Days until 4 p.m. Closed on Monday & Tuesday (except for holidays and vacation weeks).
Physical Address: 20 Barnestown Road Camden, ME 04843
About the Snow Bowl: Click here to learn more
The Camden Snow Bowl is a community owned ski and recreation area. From the summit of 1300' Ragged Mountain, home to the Snow Bowl's trails, skiers and riders have an incredible view of the Atlantic Ocean. It is a view quite unlike any other in the east. The Camden Snow Bowl really is "where the mountains meet the sea". In addition to alpine skiing and snowboarding, there are many other winter activities available at the Snow Bowl. Ice skating on Hosmer pond and a thrilling 400' toboggan chute. The National Toboggan Championships are held here the first weekend of February. There is also a cross country ski and snowshoeing trail available. Three lifts serve 850' of vertical. Two chairlifts and a conveyor lift in the beginner area service the ten trails and a terrain park. All trails lead back to a classic A-frame lodge where you will find all services. The Camden Snow Bowl has a ski and snowboard school, full rental shop, an active youth racing program and a fully qualified ski patrol. Coastal Maine sees its share of big winter storms, but we have a snowmaking system that covers 85% of our area to ensure plenty of skiing and riding. Most trails are groomed daily.
A year round recreation area, the Camden Snow Bowl offers hiking, mountain biking, tennis courts, ball fields and a summer youth rec program. Fishing, boating and swimming are possible on the tranquil Hosmer pond. Many four legged friends and their owners are often found recreating together. In the autumn, there are fall foliage pancake breakfasts and chairlift rides and a mountain festival. Facility rentals are available all year for parties, weddings and reunions. Call the office (207)236-3438 or email us for more information.
Mission Statement: The mission of the Town of Camden Parks and Recreation Department is to enhance the quality of life for residents and visitors through recreational opportunities, community events, and stewardship of the town's public lands.

Have you ever wondered how fragile or damaged documents are repaired or preserved?

During the Civil War, the scarcity and high cost of writing paper often led people to reuse it. They wrote new letters across existing ones, made account books from old ciphering books, and turned ledgers into scrapbooks. In cases such as these, it is not unusual for archivists to find records that are more than what they appear at first glance.
One such example exists in the Henkel Family Business Records (Acc. 28040), a collection of 137 volumes related to the family's general store, farm, and mill businesses in New Market, Virginia. While processing the collection, I came across an L.P. Henkel and Brothers account book, 1869–1872, containing business receipts pasted over handwritten text.
The Library of Virginia's conservation lab removed each receipt, conserving both the receipts and the ledger pages beneath. This process uncovered a Civil War-era register, 1863–1865, listing conscripts from the 10th Virginia Congressional District (Clarke, Fairfax, Fauquier, Frederick, Loudoun, Prince William, and Warren Counties), with entries for name, age, occupation, physical description, date and place of enrollment, and company assigned. Also included were special orders regarding enlistment and assignments written from headquarters in New Market and Winchester, Virginia. Thanks to careful conservation, these formerly inaccessible records may help researchers uncover more about their own ancestors' stories.
The original account book and receipts remain with the Henkel Family Business Records. The … read more »

My new neighbor has an eightfoot garage door, chain driven. The bottom is a 2 car garage and the top is a deck. The inside of the garage is not insulated and it has exposed beams which carry the weight for the upper deck. Every time it is opened or closed I can hear it in my house, primarily in the SE corner. I spoke to him a number of times. He had a garage repairman over to inspect and it was given a clean bill from an installation and motor (1/2 hp) standpoint. He refuses to have anything done. I have consulted an attorney and for whats it worth, throwing good money to bad is not worth the time or aggravation. Is there something I can do to cushion the noise into my home? Is there some type of contractor that can do something that is not too expensive? The noise is so aggravating it send chills up my spine. Please HELP........... |
Follow-Up Postings:
Move. Seriously, neighbors make noise from time to time, just like I hear my neighbors motorcycle everyday at least 2x a day. It's part of living in suburbia. |
- Posted by western_pa_luann (My Page) on Sun, Dec 31, 06 at 11:55
Yep - neighbors make noise occasionally. It is just a garage door opener... not drunken parties every night all night.... |
- Posted by davidandkasie (My Page) on Tue, Jan 2, 07 at 13:22
it is his house, if the noise does not bother him, and it is not loud enough to violate local noise ordinances, then nothing you can make him do. his garage being unfinished really has not affect on the amount of noise from teh opener. YOU could install double pane windows, and maybe beef up the insulation in the SE part of the house, but not much else. is this a town house or 2 totally seperate buildings? if the buildings share the same framing on a common wall then the the noise will transfer back and forth. |

Start a fundraiser. Start changing lives.
We love when people donate their own dollars to make life better for the nearly 800 million without access to clean water. But you might be wondering, "How else can I help?"

Or maybe you want to do something else. It's up to you! If you have a passion, you can use it to make life better for those without clean water. (Need ideas? Look here.)
Here are the basics and goal ideas for getting started.
When you have a good idea in mind, set a goal and encourage your friends, family, and colleagues to get involved through email and social media.

Containers of Hope, a $40,000 Home by Benjamin Garcia Saxe. By Eric • Jun 16, 2011 • Selected Work Benjamin Garcia Saxe has recently completed the Containers of Hope project with a budget of $40,000.
Located in San Jose, Costa Rica this container house is the result of a close collaboration between the architect and his clients, who went on to construct the building themselves. The 1,000 square foot home is composed of two 40-foot used shipping containers set together with a raised mid section and clerestory windows. More shipping container houses here. Earthscrapers: Is Going Down Instead Of Up A Greener Way To Build? Evolo/via Every year, TreeHugger and all the architectural websites troll through the Evolo competition entries, looking for the most imaginative work from young architects with time on their hands.
Sometimes you just have to shake your head and wonder at the creativity and drawing skills. In 2010, I did not pay a lot of attention to Bunker Arquitectura's proposal for Earthscraper, an upside down pyramid in downtown Mexico City. Bunker Arquitectura/via It was not a new idea, and it was not the best iteration of it that I had seen. CNC carpentry: the 'selfsupportingframework'
Two students working on load-bearing systems in the architecture department at Kassel University, Mischa Proll and Andreas Günther, have taken advantage of the wide range of design techniques available and breathed new life into a one-hundred-year-old construction concept.
The traditional reziprocal frame consists of short wooden joists, whose ends are carpentry-joined to a surface structure. With consistant types of profiles, lengths of elements and positions of the knots on the axises, a dome shape is created. The first documenting of such a framework, also called a "mandala roof", dates back to the 12th century, according to the students' research, when a Buddhist monk by the name of Chogen created designs for temples, whose influence can still be seen today in the architecture of domes in China and Japan. The variation of individual parameters, for instance changing the join between two elements, leads to a change in all the other subsequent joins.

Architecture. Imagine the renovation dilemmas.
A huge penthouse of a converted 1930s office building in TriBeCa, New York, is to be turned into a functioning home for a family with three teenagers. In fact, we can not quite imagine the issues that faced Steven Harris Architects when the family showed up, literally, at the doorstep of the celebrated architect and asked if he'd like to work on their home.

About Richard Barker Love Interior Design & Exotic Travel? Would You Live in a Shipping Container? Adam Kalkin isn't the only architect to make homes out of shipping containers.
A handful of architects, including Jennifer Siegal and Lot-Ek, began using them ten years ago as a gritty reaction against the tidy white surfaces of modernism. But nobody has employed shipping containers more inventively than Kalkin, a New Jersey architect and artist who has used them to design luxurious homes, museum additions, and refugee housing. In architectural circles, Kalkin is regarded as something of an oddball.
