Q&A: Todd Alström talks about Beer Advocate's influence and his move to Denver
Colorado attracts beer lovers the way a keg attracts red Solo cups, and last month, one of the nation's most well-known beer lovers announced that he was moving here. Todd Alström, who founded Beer Advocate magazine with his brother, Jason, in 1996, told readers that's he's moving from Boston to the Denver area for personal reasons.Beer Advocate Todd Alström
Every month, more than 2.5 million people check into Beer Advocate online to rate their beers, read industry news and talk about breweries with other beer geeks in one of a couple of dozen regional and subject-specific forums. And while Internet entrepreneurs can be located anywhere, the move is sure to have an effect on Beer Advocate, which is one of the most influential online community sites for craft-beer drinkers in the country.

- Epic Brewing rolls out three Colorado-specific beers
That's because the Alströms maintain a heavy presence on Beer Advocate (which also produces a monthly magazine with a readership of 150,000), moderating the forums, doling out opinions alongside their members and chiming in on a wide variety of topics.
We checked in with Todd Alström on the eve of his move to Colorado -- he plans to be here next week -- to find out a little more about Beer Advocate, its history and its future. Here's our Q&A:
Westword: Why are you moving to Colorado?
Todd Alström: It's time for a change. I love the Boston area and will be back frequently, but it's become very expensive to not only rent or buy, but live in the area, too. Candice (my wife) planted the seed as she used to live in Colorado, and I've enjoyed all of my visits. We're viewing our move to Colorado as a major lifestyle upgrade: You get more for your dollar, the people are friendly and the scenery is stunning.
Colorado's beer scene is an added bonus that we plan on taking full advantage of.
Will your new location change the dynamic of the website, magazine and Beer Advocate at all, or of the forums that you post in?
It's bound to. I've already started paying more attention and posting in the Mountain forum, been slated to cover Denver for Beer Destinations in Beer Advocate magazine. and I plan on adjusting who I follow and interact with on Twitter.
How would you compare the Denver area to other beer destinations around the country?
Man. I hate comparing cities. I'd rather appreciate their differences.
I know you've been to Denver a number of times. What are some of your favorite local breweries or beers?
Given my position, and the ever-changing world of beer, I've trained myself to not have favorite breweries or beers.
Are there some places you plan to hit right away when you get here?
After a four-day drive from Boston, I'll no doubt be craving a cold local beer. I can't think much past that at the moment, but I'm looking forward to being able to walk or bike to so many great breweries, bars and restaurants that carry good beer.
Are there things that the locals could do to improve the craft-beer scene in Colorado?
Ask me again once I've become a local.
Will Beer Advocate take a bigger role in local events or hold events here, or will you stick with Boston?
We haven't really talked about it too much, but we're not ruling out doing events in Denver area either. We'll see what happens after we settle in and soak in the scene.

A marine engineer progresses along his / her career path by periodically undergoing examinations conducted by the Directorate General of Shipping, Ministry of Surface Transport, Government of India. Certain minimum levels of sea service time are required before appearing for these examinations. In addition, a limited number of modular courses and preparatory courses have to be taken.
A student completing the four year marine engineering degree at TMI is exempt from the Class IV - Part A examination conducted by Directorate General of Shipping and will be eligible for appointment as a Junior Engineer Officer on merchant navy ships. A Junior Engineer on a ship receives emoluments of about Rs. 30,000 per month with free boarding and lodging while signed on board the vessel.
A Junior Engineer is required to sail for only six months before he/she is eligible to appear in the Class IV - Part B examination conducted by the Directorate General of Shipping. After successfully completing this examination, a Junior Engineer becomes qualified to sail as Watch Keeping Engineer Officer on a merchant ship.
The next step is that of a Second Engineer and ultimately that of a Chief Engineer on a ship. With promotions come substantial improvements in remuneration. A Chief Engineer at sea receives Rs. 1,50,000 per month or more net of taxes. It takes about 6-7 years for a Junior Engineer Officer to get elevated to the rank of Chief Engineer, depending on individual capabilities and job opportunities available.
A TMI graduate Marine Engineer is equipped not only for a career at sea but for any position that demands a mechanical or electrical engineer. Typically marine engineers are sought by hospitals, hotels and industries that are associated with engines, boilers, hydraulic systems or process control machinery.

On one of our visits to my mother-in-law in a nursing home, we saw that her roommate had some window decorations made by her daughter that was made in part at least with old discarded Computer CD's, they were very cute my wife thought, I have searched the web for something like this and have not had any acceptable results. Has anyone here seen anything like this? Thank You |
Follow-Up Postings:
Yes, if you can get to it. On Garden Junk forum a post close to top says something about a "man cave"by NM, it takes you to a recycling site & you will see key holder made of old sparkplugs cleaned up. There is a large < > on each side of pic. If you click on the 1 on the left side of screen a couple of times you will come to the most beautiful Cd things. It is German site I think but the wording under project is in English. They used some sort of saw, would like to get English translation of that as they are so nice would love to try it. The site has projects from recycled things for every day of year I guess, going the > way about the 3rd 1 was a neat bulletin board of old corks! Great for teen's room or sewing room. Some said they couldn't get on site but I just clicked & it came up. Good Luck! Jan |
Here's a direct link to the post I think Jan is talking about. This is a pretty neat site. I've been browsing it for a couple days now. |
Here is a link that might be useful: CD Art

Thank you for the info, while I realize there could be all kinds of variations of art using old Cd's, the one we saw had lots of birds on it. |
Can you give us some more info - some description. Were they cut out? Painted on? Still flat? Or 3D? You say they were in part with CDs - so what else were part of the decorations? |
- Posted by railroader (My Page) on Wed, Dec 14, 11 at 22:21
My wife doesn't remember, it has been a few years, she said it had birds and other ornaments on it, it was like a mobile. The daughter that made it, said she got a pattern somewhere. Thank You for you reply. It is appreciated. |
On GJ forum there were some CD's with small holes drilled along bottom edge in a curved row so spaced out over about 4 inches or so. each hole had chain attached & then something hanging down from it. Could be small spoons or beads, very cute wind chimes. Someone earlier than that took old keys & glued them on 1 on both sides I think & drilled hole in top & hung in a tree(or in a window would work if you wanted it to show from inside the house) She had spray painted the whole works. Where are the birds-on CD or hanging from it? Sounds interesting! Jan |

Oxford United v West Ham UnitedPre-season matchKassam StadiumTuesday 17 July 2012Kick-off: 7.45pm
Facebook I Twitter I Online Store I Season Tickets
Final score - Oxford United 1-0 West Ham United
92 mins - Clarke clears upfield and the final whistle is blown.
91 mins - Last chance. Maynard is fouled. Hall wants to take the free-kick, but seniority rules and Taylor will have it. Third-time lucky? No. He smashes the ball wide and high and into the stand.
89 mins - Well, with a few minutes to go, let's sum up. West Ham created a host of half-chances throughout the game, but could not fashion a real clear-cut opening aside from Nolan's low cross that Vaz Te poked over the top. On the plus side, it's been a competitive game and will have helped boost fitness levels. The goal from Oxford was a special finish. Meanwhile, the home fans are forecasting a difficult season ahead for their guests in song. Let's hope they are very wrong.
87 mins - A decent film must just have finished. The cinema car park is full of people returning to their cars. Either that, or it was a rubbish film and everyone has decided to leave early.
85 mins - Oxford are still on the offensive and looking for a second goal, but Craddock's shot is wayward this time. It flies well wide and out for a goal kick.
81 mins - Henderson gets a bit lucky. He calls to make the clearance, then mis-controls outside his box. He slips a bit but just about manages to make a challenge on Constable. Spence gets back and ensures no further damage is done.
80 mins - Boateng now shoves Taylor over on the left edge of the Oxford box. Free-kick. Hall to take. Hall whips it over and Turgott heads goalwards. Clarke tips over but the referee gives a goal kick. The home fans actually cheered their goalkeeper for making the fingertip stop.
78 mins - Embarrassing. Boateng gets down the right and latches on to a pass. He tries to take on Taylor before throwing himself to the ground inside the box. It's a clear dive, and Mr Scott goes over to tell the right-back to sort himself out.
77 mins - I know it's nearly over, but positionally, Nasha is at right-back with Spence, Wearen and Taylor alongside him. Turgott, Moncur, Ruddock and Pollitt are across the midfield, with Hall supporting Maynard. Pollitt has a go with a side volley, but the ball loops into the hands of Clarke.
76 mins - Turgott is fouled about 30 yards out and Taylor can have another go. It's almost exactly the same spot he fired over from about 25 minutes ago. This time his low shot hits the wall and spins through to Clarke.
74 mins - Hall again, swapping passes twice with Turgott wide on the right before getting to the byline and crossing high. Pollitt gets there first, but his header lacks direction and flies wide of the far post. Hall is in the mood!
71 mins - Well, well, well. Pollitt collects a deep cross and races forward to halfway before picking out Hall with a pinpoint 40-yard pass. Hall controls instantly and gets to within 22 yards before driving a low shot with his weaker right foot that hits the base of the far post before spinning away for a goal kick. The home fans cheer his name again.
70 mins - Oxford win a corner, but Henderson is there to make the catch when the cross comes in at the second attempt. West Ham try to break, but Moncur isn't as quick as the ball and Clarke catches inside his box.
68 mins - West Ham's youngsters will need to do something their senior colleagues could not if the Hammers are to avoid defeat here. Hall is doing his best as he picks out the run of Turgott. The winger crosses first-time and low but Maynard isn't quite far enough forward to finish. Good move, though.
66 mins - Rigg looks to get in on to a pass and he is bearing down on Henderson. Fair play to Taylor who races back and makes an inch-perfect sliding challenge inside the penalty area. No foul and Henderson can clear.
61 mins - Seven changes from West Ham. Noble, Morrison, Nolan, Reid, O'Neil, Demel and Vaz Te go off. Moncur, Pollitt, Ruddock, Turgotg, Wearen, Nasha and Rob Hall come on. The Oxford fans welcome the latter with a chorus of 'Robbie, Robbie Hall'. He is a hero in these parts!
59 mins - A period of West Ham possession comes to nothing as Maynard tries to spin on the edge of the D. Oxford try to break forward but Spence is there to clear for a throw. From it, the U's build again before centre midfielder Forster-Caskey launches a shot into the car park.
57 mins - Craddock cuts in from the Oxford left and shoots powerfully. Henderson gets his body behind the ball and clutches it to his chest. Secure goalkeeping.
55 mins - Nolan scoops the ball out to O'Neil, who cushions it back to Demel. He crosses on the diagonal towards Nolan, but it's too high and the ball bounces away for a goal kick. The second half hasn't really got going as yet, and we're expecting a few West Ham changes soon...
51 mins - Morrison collects a pass in a central position 30 yards out. He looks up, takes a touch but drags his low shot well wide of the left-hand post. Today's attendance is 4,780, with 1,101 of them from West Ham.
50 mins - West Ham have a free-kick about 30 yards out and Taylor is all over it. Meanwhile, Oxford have changed all ten outfield players. The back four is now Boateng, Raynes, Tafazoli and Capaldi, the midfield is Smith, Harris, Craddock and Forster-Caskey and Constable is partnering Rigg up front. Taylor curls the free-kick a yard over the top.
48 mins - Oxford have made a load of changes. Constable, Forster-Caskey, Raynes and Tafazoli are among those who have come on, but I've no idea who has gone off as yet. I'll try to find out!
46 mins - Two changes at the break for West Ham. Maynard and Oxford-born Taylor on for Cole and McCartney. Taylor is involved straight away, crossing dangerously and forcing a corner. Noble takes but it's cleared.
Half-time score - Oxford United 1-0 West Ham United
There are 22 players warming up on the pitch at present, including eleven West Ham players. I'm not sure all of them will come on at half-time, but I expect to see one or two start the second half.
Meanwhile, Oxford's Under-6 side are getting a proper ovation as they do a lap of honour! The West Ham fans give them a loud cheer as they jog past. Under-6s are small!
47 mins - That's half-time. Oxford lead. Join us again in a little under 15 minutes for the second half.
45 mins - We're going to have one added minute. Big Sam is out in his technical area. I would think he will demand an improvement at half-time. He'll certainly want his players to be more clinical.
41 mins - Cole lays the ball off from O'Neil's long pass to Morrison. He comes forward and does a step-over before trying to play in Cole, but the pass is behind the striker. It's been a case of 'so near yet so far' for West Ham - they've had the ball in plenty of encouraging positions without exploiting one as yet.
39 mins - West Ham attack and McCartney's cross is only cleared as far as O'Neil. He lofts the ball back in from the right edge of the penalty area. Vaz Te rises and goes to ground. He wants a penalty, but Mr Scott is again unmoved. Goal kick.
36 mins - GOAL! We have a goal and it's a great finish from Smalley. The cross comes over from the left and McCartney wins the header above Pittman, but the ball drops to the No10, who rockets the half-volley past Henderson from the angle. It might only be a pre-season game, but Big Sam will want a response from his players immediately.
36 mins - Morrison is seeing plenty of the ball for West Ham. The fans didn't see much of him last season following his arrival from Manchester United, but the youngster clearly has talent.
34 mins - The Oxford fans want a penalty as McAllister tries to cut between O'Neil and Spence and goes down. Mr Scott waves the appeals away.
32 mins - The corner is cleared but West Ham have it back. Morrison shows some neat footwork before Noble's pass is handled by Batt. Free-kick wide on the left. It's taken short to Nolan, who holds off his man inside the box and drills the cross over. Vaz Te is there, but the pace on the ball makes it a bit more difficult and the No12's first-time shot flies high and wide.
30 mins - Another ball in the car park as O'Neil wins it back in midfield and finds Cole. He waits for the overlap of Vaz Te, who shoots left-footed and sees his effort deflected over the fence by Evans for a corner.
28 mins - Back to the football and Demel skips past his man on the right touchline. The cross takes a nick of the head of Evans and is a bit awkward for Morrison. He controls on his chest and pokes the ball forward for Nolan, but it's difficult for the skipper and Clarke is there to collect.
27 mins - Mr Scott has a chat with Chapman and Noble, but no cards are shown. He then has a chat with captains Nolan and Wright. Presumably, his message was something along the lines of 'This is a pre-season match and I don't want loads of paperwork to do!'.
24 mins - Erm, it has all got a bit tasty here. Noble goes in hard but fair on Pittman and the Oxford players react angrily. One, Adam Chapman, charges at Noble and there is a coming together. This leads to some handbags involving at least 16 players, but it is all over as quickly as it started. Now the officials are having a chat...
22 mins - Another half-chance. Nolan finds the overlapping McCartney and he stands the cross up on the edge of the six-yard box. Clarke comes to claim, but he drops the ball. Oxford try to break from the clearance, but Reid gets in a strong sliding challenge. That gets the players going and the action only ends when Morrison is brought down by Potter. Noble doesn't like the challenge. Nor does the referee as Mr Scott talks to the former Havant and Waterlooville man.
20 mins - West Ham come close twice. First, Vaz Te beats two men before trying to trick his way past Wright inside the box, but he's challenged. Then, Nolan crosses towards Cole and Evans clears at the near post.
16 mins - The corner nearly leads to a goal...for Oxford! O'Neil collects the short corner and his cross is headed clear powerfully. Spence is favourite to get there, but Pittman beats him to the ball and is in on goal. He elects to shoot from the edge of the D, but he leans back and the ball flies too high. Relief for Spence.
14 mins - Golden opportunity for the first goal as Demel plays a superb one-two with Nolan and gets to the byline and beats his man. Cole is unmarked for the pull-back six yards from goal, but Demel picks the wrong option and the ball goes behind for a corner. The flag-kick is cleared. West Ham come again and Morrison and Nolan force another corner.
12 mins - The West Ham fans on the far side sing Carlton Cole's name as West Ham come forward once more. Vaz Te does well to shake off McGinty but his cross is just a little too strong for Morrison. McCartney crosses from the nearside but Cole is beaten to the ball.
8 mins - This is a decent game so far. The Oxford fans give it a bit of noise after their team attack again and a couple of strong challenges go in. Batt crosses and Pittman challenges. Spence heads the ball backwards and Henderson is out again quickly to catch ahead of Smalley.
6 mins - West Ham break quickly and Morrison finds Vaz Te in space. He cuts inside from the left and shoots from 25 yards. It's too high and clears the crossbar, fence and three rows of cars before nestling next to a tree.
5 mins - West Ham look to be in total control until Morrison gives the ball away in midfield. Oxford break and a low cross threatens until McCartney puts the ball out for a corner. Heslop's corner is headed up into the air before Pittman's header is held by Henderson
4 mins - A momentary scare as Smalley brings down Reid and the Kiwi clutches his ankle. It's nothing to worry about though, as Reid is quickly back up.
2 mins - Oxford come forward but Reid makes the headed clearance. The Hammers then win a free-kick as Demel is fouled. All very low-key so far.
7.49pm - West Ham kick-off shooting from right to left. Tonight, it means the Hammers are shooting towards an end with no stand. Any wayward shots could threaten aerials and wing mirrors in the cinema car park behind the goal!
7.47pm - Rob Hall's name gets a loud cheer from the home fans. The Hammers youngster really caught the eye of U's supporters during two loan spells here last season, when he scored six goals in 14 games.
7.45pm - Here come the two teams, led by Kevin Nolan and Jake Wright. West Ham are in their all Navy away kit. Oxford are in all yellow. The conditions are better than they were at Southend on Saturday! The pitch here looks in decent nick. A sizeable travelling contingent from east London are sat directly opposite me.
7.44pm - It looks like kick-off might also be slightly delayed as there is no sign of the Oxford team, while West Ham have now gone back to their dressing room...
7.40pm - Due to West Ham's slightly delayed arrival, the Hammers are out warming up and will stay out on the pitch for kick-off.
7.15pm - So, Big Sam has named a very strong team tonight, with Carlton Cole returning to action for the first time since the opening pre-season game at FK Austria Wien. The same can be said of goalkeeper Stephen Henderson, who has recovered from a slight thigh injury. On the bench, the Development Squad have returned from Moscow and the likes of Jake Larkins, Eoin Wearen, Pelly Ruddock, George Moncur, Blair Turgott and Seb Lletget are available tonight.
7.10pm - OK, sorry for the delay but the team coach was slightly held up on the road to the Kassam Stadium. The team news is in -
Oxford United: Clarke, Batt, McGinty, Wright, Chapman, Heslop, Smalley, Pittman, Potter, McAllister, EvansSubs: Crocombe, Raynes, Constable, Rigg, Boateng, Capaldi, Forster-Caskey, Tafazoli, Harris, Smith, Craddock, Long, Lynn
West Ham United: Henderson, Demel, Spence, Reid, McCartney, Noble, Nolan, O'Neil, Morrison, Cole, Vaz TeSubs: Larkins, Wearen, Maynard, Pollitt, Hall, Taylor, Ruddock, Moncur, Turgott, Nasha, Lletget
Good evening and welcome to the Kassam Stadium for West Ham United's fourth pre-season fixture against npower League Two side Oxford United.
The Hammers won their first pre-season match on Saturday, producing a decent all-round performance to win 3-0 at Southend United, with Nicky Maynard, Jordan Spence and Sam Baldock on target.
Baldock's goal was his third in three appearances so far in 2012/13 and the former MK Dons man will be eager to find the net again and continue his hot start to the new Barclays Premier League campaign.
There are a number of links between the two clubs - West Ham forward Rob Hall spent two spells on loan with the U's last season, while Oxford coach Andy Melville was part of the Hammers squad which gained promotion to the Premier League via the Play-Offs in 2005. Meanwhile, West Ham midfielder Matt Taylor was born and raised in Oxford.
Summer signing Stephen Henderson returns from a minor thigh injury and could start in goal after missing the trips to Boreham Wood and Southend, while Guy Demel could make his first pre-season start.
Tuesday's fixture will be the first meeting between West Ham and Oxford since 24 August, when Scott Parker's late goal saw the Hammers beat the U's 1-0 in the League Cup second round at the Boleyn Ground.
The Hammers will be making their first-ever visit to the Kassam Stadium.
West Ham United: Henderson, Demel (Nasha 61), Spence, Reid (Wearen 61), McCartney (Taylor 46), Noble (Moncur 61), Nolan (Ruddock 61), O'Neil (Pollitt 61), Morrison (Turgott 61), Cole (Maynard 46), Vaz Te (Hall 61)Subs: Larkins, Lletget

Shrek Forever After review
- When you're sitting on a franchise that's pulled in over $2bn dollars in box office receipts and you've already hit the magic number three in the series, what to do?
Clearly you put it in the hands of Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo director Mike Mitchell, who has opted for an 'alternate reality' storyline – surely the contemporary version of the 'it was all a dream' twist – allowing potentially tired characters to re-live and re-invent their glorious origins once again.
While alternate reality plot lines are nothing new – Capra played masterfully with the idea in 1947's It's A Wonderful Life – they've been used more recently to rescue sci-fi series like Fringe and Lost (the latter's former scribe, Darren Lemke, is Shrek 4's co-writer).
Whether Shrek's pre-teen audience is ready for such high-fallutin' concepts and 'be thankful for what you have' moralising remains to be seen, but it certainly gives the filmmakers a clean slate on which to paint a fresh coat of green. And so Shrek Forever After places our familiar protagonists in unfamiliar territory: the married Shrek (Mike Myers) is drowning in domestic misery, raising three ogre offspring with his royal bride Fiona (Cameron Diaz). Now a beloved rather than feared resident of Far Far Away, his home is on the tourist trail and his once-dreaded roar relegated to a mere party piece.
In the midst of this mid-life crisis, he accepts a deal from the manipulative Rumpelstiltskin (Walt Dohrn, whose vocal gymnastics graced a half-dozen side characters in Shrek The Third and who performs as capably here as his celebrity co-stars). The deal is this: if Shrek gives the mini Jon Favreau-lookalike any day out of his life, he'll give him a day's peace. The green one accepts, but the conniving Rumpelstiltskin takes his birthday.
The result? Shrek's thrown into a new world where he's never been born and, like Jack Bauer himself, the clock's ticking on the 24 hours he has to sort out the whole sorry mess before disappearing forever. Trouble is, CTU aren't around to help.
To complicate matters, only Fiona can rescue him with a kiss – but Fiona in a world where Shrek never existed is an entirely different Fiona. In this parallel universe she escaped from the tower using her own moxie and became a freedom fighter for ogres everywhere. She doesn't know Shrek from a Donkey (Eddie Murphy), who also has to re-establish his relationship with his former best buddy.
With the stage set, Mitchell and his team have fun with flying witches, dense forests and a huge, pampered Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderes), all delivered in this season's new colours – 3D. Originally conceived in its three-dimensional form, Shrek Forever After resists the urge to bombard you with anything other than the occasional stream of projectile vomit, but instead adds an engulfing depth of vision to what is already something of a visual feast.
Unfortunately, since the original's Oscar-winning debut in 2001, animated movie lovers have given their hearts and wallets to soulful robot garbage collectors, flying houses, dancing penguins and trained dragons, leaving the more simply illustrated ogre looking a little tired by comparison. It's not that Shrek doesn't visually sparkle, but a combination of familiarity and predictability breed the seeds of indifference.
Which is not to say that Shrek Forever After doesn't have its moments. Over the course of the franchise they've gradually moved away from dominating the films with pop culture references and now most of the big laughs come from the casual asides, sight gags and the subtle character quirks of the supporting cast rather than from the plot-driving headliners. Mad Men's Jon Hamm, Glee's Jane Lynch, reality star Kathy Griffin, American Idol emcee Ryan Seacrest and news vet Larry King are all on hand to bolster the talent quota, but it's the animator's hand that really pushes the viewer's buttons.
As a result, this (possibly) last installment of this groundbreaking series seems more squarely aimed at the kids. Despite Shrek's mini-breakdown over his domestic nightmare, as well as the sci-fi rooted alt-universe that the characters spend most of the film in, Shrek Forever After is at its core a simple tale, simply told. But even though there's less of the vocal gymnastics and wink-wink references that have made it easier for grown-ups to come along for the ride, there's still plenty to enjoy here.
DreamWorks may claim they're finally closing the book on this long-running fairytale, but don't bet on it – this 'final chapter' will be raking in the green come opening weekend. There could be life in the big lug yet…
This fourth ogre outing delivers plenty of 3D razzle dazzle and has fun messing about with its alternate-reality storyline, but it never troubles the modernclassic status achieved by the first Shrek. Still, a chunky step up from Shrek The Third.

So I got a few kabocha-style squash growing in a bed that gets a lot of shade. I bet they only get 4-5 hours of direct sunlight, if that. However, if the young squash grow quickly I will be able to lead them out onto areas where they will get full sunlight for most of the day (say 6 or 7 feet from the base of the plants).
So I am wondering, will the plants be able catch up in this setup? Also, can I somehow stimulate fast growth so they can reach more sunlight? Will that help them? |
Follow-Up Postings:
All you can do is try it and see. Liquid fertilizer every couple of weeks should maximize growth potential. You can read on some of the forums about the use of reflective light, using foil or white surfaces to reflect light towards your shaded plants. Careful not to use a refractive surface that could burn the plants. Best of Luck! |

I grew some yellow summer squash in the shade of a mesquite tree ... they were lanky, but grew quite well. They will head for the sun on their own. |

"Speed isn't just about up and down the ice. So much of the game is played in tight spots. Making the quick move, the touch pass, getting the shot on net leads to one thing: scoring goals."
ShaftBallistic woven Kevlar wrap on the outer layer provides vibration dampening for improved puck feel and impact protection from slashes or shot blocking.
BladeThe Mako blade uses a Multi-Rib construction to keep the blade stiff and accurate through your shot and prevents the core from breaking down to provide lasting performance. The Micro-Bladder process provides a lightweight blade with maximum core compaction.
Non Skid Blade CoatingAdded blade texture provides better grip for the puck on any exposed section of the blade. Also adheres well to tape and keeps a tighter wrap through the game.

The notion of death takes away our sense of control, often leaving behind struggles with hopelessness and helplessness. That is why spirituality is of the utmost importance at the end of life. Spiritual care helps to meet these needs, providing wholeness and peace.
Spirituality has many different faces and is not always related to religious practices. Spirituality may be found in such common things as connections, relationships, meanings, a love of nature, meditation, art, or music. On the other hand, some people facing the end of life may find deeper reservoirs of traditional faith than they ever suspected.
Regardless of the nature of a person's sense of spirituality, there are several common needs and goals that many seem to share:
This is where a visit with a chaplain can be so beneficial. Chaplains provide assessment of spiritual needs, as well as an empathetic presence, and provide prayer, rituals, and sacraments which are of special significance to patients and families.

"This soup was amazing. I just made it and had it on all day. My hubby even said it was better than the canned soup. Will make this again and again. Thanks again for the fab recipe."
"OMG!!!! I just made them for the first time for my Xmas cookies and they were totally amazing. So easy and taste like the old fashioned sugar cookies but with less work. My only took 5 minutes in the oven, but that's because my oven was on for a while. I will definitely make this again and again and again."
"I just made them and it was super easy. I did replace the raspberry jam with strawberry due to an allergy. But they were still awesome. You do need some time for the chocolate to firm up. I would definitely make them again. Totally Awesome!!!!!"
"I made the cake today and it was relatively easy. I also made it a 1 bowl recipe, baked it for 30 minutes and added more cinnamon to the crumb topping. I might next time just add a little almond flavoring for more flavor in the cake part, but I have to say it was a hit all around."
"This was absolutely fabulous. I couldn't find instant butterscotch so instead I used vanilla and bananna and used 2 tablespoons of sugar instead of 1/4 cup. I also swirled the sugar mixture throught out the cake. My husband and neighbors loved it. I would definitely make it again. In fact my neighbors want one."

American Graduate Day
Broadcast September 28, 2013 from 12 to 7 pm ET on WFSU-TV
2nd Annual American Graduate Day focuses on national and local efforts to combat the dropout crisis.
Despite gains made in recent years, Florida's graduation rates remain among the lowest in the nation. A lot of work has been focused on better preparing students for graduation and on getting them ready for the workplace. Standards reform, testing, and teacher accountability receive much attention. But the solutions to our dropout crisis do not lie entirely within the traditional K-12 environment. On this year's American Graduate Day, WFSU looks at programs from within the school system and from out in the community that invest in individual students and give them the tools they need to succeed. The approaches are as varied as the students in our schools. From getting students who have run afoul of the justice system back on track, to fostering an interest in gardening, this year's interviewees show that there are many ways to make an American Graduate.
Youth Leadership Tallahassee is a year-long program bringing together a diverse group of high-school juniors from public and private schools in Tallahassee who have demonstrated leadership potential in formal and informal situations. It prepares them to become ethical leaders committed to active community involvement.

Moving Air and Noise Generation
Name: David Status: Other Grade: Other Location: CA Country: United States Date: April 2009
Does moving air make noise or just what is moving the air, say, a fan?
Sound you hear comes from vibrations. Sound is a mechanical wave -- which means that it is created by some kind of vibration. The vibration is propagated mechanically through the air where it is sensed by your ear. The vibration (sound) that your ear detects could come from air hitting your ear, it could be a fan, it could be dry leaves, or tons of other things. Air can produce a sound by itself (it can cause vibrations by itself), but then the question is how would you 'hear' it without being in the air. Your ear plays a role in what sounds you hear. A pressure transducer (a kind of highly sensitive vibration detector) would record a different set of vibrations than your ear, and so the 'sound' of air is different depending on what is hearing it. In any case, typically the noise comes from the air hitting something (you, your coat, your ear, etc.) rather than just the air itself.
Hope this helps,
Burr Zimmerman
Both processes can make noise. Wind, especially at high speed can produce sound. Thunder, for example, is a sonic boom. Air moving against a fan blade can also produce sound.
Vince Calder
Air in laminar flow (smooth flow) does not make noise. This concept is used in designing quieter airplanes.
Air in turbulent flow makes noise so airplane designers try to eliminate the turbulence of the air as the airplane passes through the air. It also creates drag on the airplane which has to be overcome by the power of the engines.
What is moving the air? For airplanes (and objects like that), sometimes wind blows over the airplane while it is parked on the airfield, other times, the engines propel the airplanes through the air mass. Try riding your bicycle downwind so that there is no relative wind in your face. I did that next to the flower fields in Lompoc, California one day and when I came up to the wind's speed, all breezes on my faces ended and it got very quiet, until some bees flew by and I could hear their buzzing like I was listening to my Ipod.
In the atmosphere, air temperature pushes hot (less dense) air up and cold air (more dense) falls to the ground. This causes air turbulence (wind) in the atmosphere. In the summer at Lompoc, the land would heat up during the day heating the air over it such that the heated (less dense) air over the land at Lompoc would rise. When that hot air rose it drew in cool air (more dense) from the Pacific Ocean that heats as it dwells over the land (becomes less dense) and then that formerly sea air rises creating a cycle of cool sea air being sucked over the land by the hot land air rising. So every afternoon at about 3 PM the surface wind (channeled into a specific path by the San Bernardino mountains) gets up to 30 to 40 MPH, sometimes causing electric power lines to fall down and start fires.
Large fans are used to create pressure differentials (low pressure in the back, high pressure in front of the fan) in wind tunnels to test aerodynamic models.
Nozzles in Jet engines are used to convert high pressure gasses to high velocity gasses.
Sincere regards,
Mike Stewart

The weapons experts at Beavercreek Armory Range make guests' safety their chief concern, which is why they maintain a membership system that ensures each of their guests are qualified, safety-savvy NRA members. A 12-lane indoor range keeps marksmen of all skill level comfortable with clearly displayed house rules and a high-efficiency ventilation system that quickly draws away gun smoke and replaces it with Clint Eastwood's captured sighs. In addition to supervising the range, Beavercreek's team also leads classes that range from NRA-compliant defensive pistol and handgun classes to a youth safety course. Meanwhile, the in-house gunsmith can restore and repair firearms, as well as add customizations such as carbonia bluing or an antique car horn.
The fishermen could carry their bounties off in coolers, but by the time the boat reaches the marina, each angler stands clutching a fat salmon for all bystanders on the dock to see. After posing for photos and recounting the battle with the day's largest catch, the anglers drop by the on-site cleaning shop to have their hauls filleted, packed, and readied to take home.
Barbara and Jerry Powell—a third-generation fisherman with more than 50 years of experience—charter ocean adventures like these year round to fishing destinations such as the inner reefs of Yaquina Bay. Aboard USCG-inspected and certified boats, the Powells' team outfits anglers with well-maintained equipment to hook deep-sea creatures such as halibut, shark, and Aquaman. Alternatively, captains take parties into tidal waters to catch bay crabs, or journey out toward open waters on whale-watching cruises.
The crew at Captain's Reel Deep Sea Fishing recommends guests check out the trip-preparation and FAQ pages before they head out. Guides can also furnish one-day licenses to those who lack the proper documents.
On the screen before the trainee, an officer is down in the doorway, while down the hall within the scenario, an assailant shields himself behind a hostage. This is just one of the 160 high-definition real-world tactical scenarios?in addition to 180 virtual-range options?that play on the single-screen Threat Alley and 300-degree Threat Arena platforms, immersing marksmen in the kind of training used by law enforcement, the military, and special operatives. Using modified firearms that eschew ammo for an infrared laser and a CO2 system to produce recoil, each computerized simulator calibrates shooters' virtual shots, producing a recap for up to five shooters per round. The tactical scenarios also supply guests with return-fire belts, which deliver a small shock when either "hit" by virtual enemy fire or when one falls for, "Hey, what's that over there?"
Beyond overseeing their simulated tactical training and virtual ranges, Threat Dynamics' instructors?possessing a mix of military, law-enforcement, and NRA-certification backgrounds?lead classes in both armed and unarmed self-defense.
To best prepare their students for the unexpected, the NRA- and DPSST-certified instructors at RazorSix Tactical fuse modern mixed martial arts techniques with operational training based on historical units such as the WWII Office of Strategic Services and the U.S. Navy Seals. Within a controlled environment at either the client's home or the business's gym, they create combat scenarios based on actual street fights and demonstrate basic survival techniques. Outside the gym, the staff's passion is in creating equipment based on its signature design theory.

This fish, caught by the methods and in the area listed above, is the least sustainable fish to eat and should be avoided. Click on the rating icon above to read more and on the alternatives tab below to find sustainable fish to eat.
Sustainability overview
Bigeye tuna are currently being overfished in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean and it is probable that the stock is also in an overfished state. Management by WCPFC is ineffective in preserving the stock and overcapacity is an issue. The WCPFC Scientific Committee recommended reducing catches by 30% in line with Fmsy, yet this failed to be incorporated into management agreements for 2013. Both longlining and FAD associated purse seine fisheries are associated with negative impacts to target and bycatch species. Avoid eating bigeye tuna from WCPO unless sure it is from the minority pole & line and non-FAD purse seine fishery.
Tuna belong to the family Scombridae. They are large, oceanic fish and are seasonally migratory, some making trans-oceanic journeys. Bigeye tuna is a tropical and subtropical species found from the surface down to 250m in the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans. It is slower growing than skipjack or yellowfin tuna, maturing at about 3 years old and reaching a maximum size of 250cm in length and 200kg in weight, with a maximum age of 11 years. Bigeye are considered moderately resilient to exploitation.
Stock information
Stock area
Stock information
Tuna management and assessment in the Western Central Pacific Ocean is undertaken by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). The last stock assessment was conducted in 2011 and included data from the last 58 years. Fishing mortality is estimated to have increased through time, particularly in recent years, and current levels are far in excess of sustainable levels (1.46Fmsy), therefore overfishing is occurring. The total catch of bigeye in 2012 of 161,679t was a 2% increase over 2011 and a 7% increase over the previous five year average. The spawning biomass is estimated to have declined over the duration of the fishery and is now approaching or possibly below that which could sustain Maximum Sustainable Yield (SBmsy). Therefore it is possible the fishery is in an overfished state. Different models indicate that spawning biomass (SB) between 0.61-1.19SBmsy. The estimate of MSY is 76,800t (half that of the 1970s) with current catches (116,900 t) 51% greater than MSY. Reducing the catch of small bigeye would increase the overall level of catches that could be obtained sustainably. The WCPFC Scientific Committee recommended a reduction of at least 32% in fishing mortality from the average levels for 2006 to 2009 to return the fishing mortality rate to Fmsy. In March 2012, WCPFC members were unable to agree on additional measures to reduce bigeye mortality.
A new stock assessment is scheduled for 2014.
Most tuna stocks range across and are accessed by numerous coastal states, making harmonised and effective management of these individual stocks very difficult. As a result, intergovernmental Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) have been established. There are five main tuna RFMOs worldwide and it is their responsibility to carry out data collection, scientific monitoring and management of these fisheries. The bigeye tuna fishery in the Western and Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) is managed by the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC). Whilst the RFMOs are responsible for the development of management and conservation measures, the degree to which they are implemented, monitored and enforced still varies significantly between coastal states. For this reason, it is important to choose tuna that has been caught by vessels that are well regulated by their flag state. In this instance though, bigeye from other fisheries should be sourced.
There is no Total Allowable Catch (TAC) set for this stock although a range of measure have recently been implemented to try and reduce effort with the aim of reducing fishing mortality to sustainable levels (below Fmsy) by the end of 2017. These include: limits for days at sea and a requirement by member states to prevent days at sea increasing; in addition to a purse seine landing obligation for these species between 20�N and 20�S. Specifically regarding the use of Fish Aggregation Devices (FADs): there is a 3-month closure of fishing on FADs in EEZ waters and on the High Seas between 20�N and 20�S; plus each member shall choose between extending this FAD closure through October, or limit the number of FAD sets to less than the number of sets made by its vessels in prescribed reference period; and, there is a requirement to submit FAD management plans, including information on strategies used to implement the closure and other measures for reducing mortality of juvenile bigeye. It isn't clear how successfully these measures have been implemented yet.
100% regional observer coverage is required for all purse seine vessels fishing on the high seas and in waters under the jurisdiction of one or more coastal States, or vessels fishing in waters under the jurisdiction of two or more coastal States during the same trip; and on all purse seiners fishing between 20N and 20S.
Specifically regarding longline bycatch: there is a requirement for longliners to use at least 2 prescribed seabird mitigation measures (eg tori line, dyed bait, weighted branch line, night setting, underwater setting chute); for vessels to carry line cutters and de-hookers to promptly release turtles or to foster to recovery any sick or comatose turtles captured; for permissible sharks to be fully utilized with no more than 5% of fins to total shark weight to be retained. Monitoring of these measures is deficient.
To help address IUU, the WCPFC maintains an IUU Vessel List; prohibits transhipments at sea between purse seiners (Some exemptions apply) and requires all other transhipments to be documented and 100% observed as part of the regional observer programme.
Capture information
57% of bigeye catches in the WCPO are taken in pelagic longline fisheries. The number of boats in the fishery fluctuates between 4,000 and 5,000 and involves large, distant, water freezer vessels and smaller (typically less than 100 GRT) offshore vessels, usually domestically based. Pelagic longlining in the WCPO is associated with the incidental capture and mortality of sharks, turtles and sea birds. There are a range of measures that can be employed to reduce bycatch of these species including: circle and/or barbless hooks to prevent turtle and shark capture, and weighted branchlines, bird scaring lines, and night setting to reduce the capture of birds. These different measures are available yet not regulated in many of these fisheries. Monitoring in these fisheries is deficient. Of the 22 species of albatross 17 are threatened with extinction, largely because of longlining. See www.savethealbatross.net for more information.

Brushes: 24
Description: Made for painting animal fur. There's some single hairs, some doubles, and some groupings of several hair strands together. All of them are made to scatter and change their angle slightly. Most will also just slightly alter their hue, saturation, and brightness to allow for the distinguishing between individual hairs and look more realistic.
You may have to tweak the settings a bit in GIMP -- I'm not sure how well scatter brushes import.
