The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

StA-anio Ribeiro Reporter AgA-ancia Brasil
BrasAlia a** Brazila**s exports during the first half of this year are up
31.6%, compared to the same period in 2010, powered by strong performances
in May and June. In June exports reached a historical high for the month
of $23.692 billion, up 38.6%, compared to June 2010. With imports in June
at $19.262 billion, up 29.9%, compared to June 2010, the June trade
surplus was $4.43 billion, the highest monthly total for the year. The
June trade surplus was up a significant 95.4%, compared to the surplus in
June 2010.
Brazila**s foreign trade surplus for the year up to June is now $12.985
billion, up 64.7%, compared to the same period last year.
According to Tatiana Lacerda Prazeres at the Ministry of Development,
Industry and Foreign Trade, the a**good moment,a** is due to a record
surge in exports of three product categories: raw material or commodities
(a**produtos bA!sicosa**) a** iron ore, coffee beans, crude petroleum,
soybeans and meats, which rose 44%; semi-manufactured products: gold and
iron items, soy products, sugar, leather and animal skins, which rose
29.7%; and manufactured products: fuel oil, plastics and vehicles, which
rose 19.1%.
Ms Prazeres points out that during the 124 working days between January
and the end of June, Brazilian exports to all regions were up with the
highlight being Asia where there was an increase of 37.9%, compared to the
same period in 2010, with exports going from $24.386 billion (2010), to
$33.909 billion (2011).
Chinaa**s paid $20 billion for Brazilian imports between January and June
this year, an increase of 47.6%, compared to the same period last year.
And in the first half of this year, China imported 16.9% of all Brazilian
exports, compared to 15.1% during the same period in 2010. China is now
Brazil's biggest trade partner.
Brazilian exports to Latin America and the Caribbean were up 24%, to over
$26.5 billion; up 31.4% to over $25.5 billion to the European Union in the
first half of this year.
The United States was the second biggest importer of Brazilian goods in
the first half of 2011, with $11.753 billion, up 29.4%, followed by
Argentina with $10.439, up 32.6%.

Molecule of any of a class of mostly organic compounds that can react with other molecules of the same or other compounds to form very large molecules (polymers). The essential feature of monomer molecules is the ability to form chemical bonds (see bonding) with at least two other monomer molecules (polyfunctionality). Those able to react with two others can form only chainlike polymers; those able to react with three or more can form cross-linked, network polymers. Examples of monomers (and their polymers) are styrene (polystyrene), ethylene (polyethylene), and amino acids (proteins).

℣ ↾ ѵ ianxxxxxxxxxx☾ ϩϯѻʆєȼӄ☽
Oh goodness. Since when did the population learn how to talk so much? Viv continued to sip on her drink as Alex babbled on and on. Yes, Alex was apparently his name. Seated, laughing, quite enjoying himself as he... Finished off the rest of his milkshake. Without even catching herself, Viv gawked at the speed as to which that milkshake was gone. Didn't he get a brain freeze or something? Apparently not, because he continued to ramble on and on. He was probably on a sugar high. Upon his idea of giving a daily-milkshake pass, Viv could only shake her head.
"No daily milkshake pass, Alex. You pay for what you buy, every day. You can't afford it, then you don't get a milkshake. It'll be $5.03, every time." Viv had figured that a milkshake was like a sundae. Sundaes were $4.99. Add tax. There it was, the price. The glass of wine? Probably cheaper. Something closer to $4.65. The tequila sunrise? Well, seeing as he was customer numero uno... The first drink was on the house. The second drink was going to be about the same price as the glass of wine. Then again, it was rail tequila. Okay so probably closer to three dollars.
Viv snapped herself out of calculating how much each of their drinks cost and gave a smile to them. The music once more changing up and thus the light show did as well. She noticed the woman sit down, a couple seats away from Alex, Clyde sat as well. The woman introduced herself as Kiana. "Pleasure to have you all in the bar. My name is Viv, I'm the owner and general manager." Figured a small introduction like that wouldn't hurt. They at least would know that she isn't just a simple bartender then. Viv gave a softer smile, not one that would be so wide as to show her sharpened fangs but just enough to let a peak of her pearly whites shine through. Her eyes scanned their glasses. Two were empty. One person's foot was tapping. Viv let her eyes fall upon Clyde's face. There was a glow about his cheeks. Soon, if he had another round, he just might be feeling it a bit more. He was speaking with Kiana, she had landed right next to him on the stools and Viv saw fit to turn and finish off her conversation with Alex. "So, you're kind of gonna be showing up a lot then, eh? Well I'm going to have to start getting ice cream portioned off then if that's going to happen. Make it ten times faster," Viv said with a gentle laugh, though it wasn't one from the heart. Ah, but appeared as though the strange, but very amusing man, was going to be leaving them. Viv nodded to him, fully expecting him to completely dip out and not return with the money. Why would he?
Alex disappeared into thin are and Viv tipped back her glass, finished off the last of her sunrise, and placed the glass in the dishwasher. Another glass was hauled up from a cooler, but this time she decided to go simple. Ice, vodka, sour. Skyy vodka to be exact. Not the cheap s**t. Giving a nod to the other two, Viv stepped towards the little door that led her out from behind the bar and actually onto the nightclub scene. It was a decent song, one that she had definitely loved to dance to when she was on her own, perhaps she could actually dance a bit without being noticed as she went to fiddle with the bass. Only three people, didn't need to have it so loud right now. Those tanned legs seemed elongated as she let her stiletto clad feet carry a swaying body across the floor. Drink in hand, her hips popping to the beat as her head bobbed up and down slightly.
Hey baby girl whatcha doin' tonight I wanna see what you got in store...Ah.
Givin' it your all whenya dancin' on me I wanna see if you can give me some more.. Ah
Hey baby..
Viv felt her body jolt to stop and start dancing to the main course of the song. But it was the middle of the neon colored dance floor and she wasn't about to embarrass herself in front of the new customers. 'Besides. I don't dance when I'm working.' Viv confirmed that now was not the time, and instead she moved herself up to the DJ stand, legs carrying her up to the familiar area and placed the drink on a nearby stool. Bending over, she would disappear from sight for a moment as she located the volume, treble, and bass. The three were located, and soon the three guests would find it to be a much more comfortable atmosphere for speaking, yet on the dance floor the speakers surround the area. It was still considerably louder than by the bar. Part of Viv regretted turning it down, but then again, the other part did not. Viv's head would pop up again, her hand once more grasping the glass of alcohol and she took a long, much needed sip.

Southend striker Matt Paterson has completed his six-month loan to Hamilton Academical.
The 21-year-old will hope he can provide the goals that will enable the Accies to achieve an instant return to the SPL after last season's relegation.
Skysports.com revealed on Monday that a deal was close to being struck for the player who began his career at Southampton.
Paterson was loaned out to Stockport last season and has failed to break into Paul Sturrock's first-team plans.
He recently had a trial at Oxford United but a deal with the League Two club failed to materialise.
Paterson has just one year left on his contract and will hope to impress Accies boss Billy Reid during his tenure at Douglas Park.

Simple, tasty, but nothing SPECTACULAR. Make sure to use good quality extra-virgin olive oil. It is definitely going into my repertoire for times when I need to dash off a vinaigrette for a side salad. This gets 4 forks because the proportions of each ingredient are perfect.
This is a very correct, traditional Italian vinaigrette. I lost the recipe that my Italian friend gave me years ago, and this is it. It's fresh, simple and perfect for a basic green salad.

A couple of Texas colleges are now offering bachelor's degrees for no more than $15,000.
In 2011, the Texas governor, Rick Perry, gave a challenge to Texas universities and schools to create inexpensive options to ever-more-costly degree programs, and that included a bachelor's degree that would cost less than $10,000 in tuition for the entire four years. The majority of schools said that it couldn't be achieved.
They could be right, but luckily two universities accepted the challenge, and that means Texans will have a chance to see whether it's even possible for a student to get a reputable, useful degree without taking on lifelong loan burdens. [Read more...]

Babesiosis is a rare and severe tick-borne disease. Signs of babesiosis usually range from no symptoms at all (asymptomatic) to serious disease. Common symptoms include extreme fatigue, aches, fever, chills, sweating, dark urine, and possibly anemia. People who are infected generally make a full recovery as long as they have a healthy spleen and do not have other diseases that prevent them from fighting off infections.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This thank you card is elegantly designed and finished beautifully. A metallic color, like gold or silver, on the black background really stands out, and looks great! Perfect card for a formal wedding and thank you card!"
"The cards where easy to customize and WPD where very swift with making the changes and send us a proof to review and approve. When we ordered the matching invitations we had some major customization done since we are Swedish and wanted all the text in Swedish and also writing on the back. WPD where extremely easy to work with than and also this time. The paper has a very nice, thick and somewhat structured feel that looks expensive. Its thick enough so that a thin pen wouldn't show from the other side when writing your note on the inside. I love this design and I can't wait to send them to our guests after the wedding."
"Love how these thank you cards turned out for my shower! I was able to personalize them just how I wanted and didn't have to exactly follow the text layout in the example. The designer did exactly what I asked in the design request. I knew no actual glitter would be used however, the color/glitter effect was a bit more muted than I expected (I figured to look like glitter it might have a bit more shine to it). The cards are still beautiful and the look I wanted. Great work as always!"
"These thank you cards are so adorable! I was very excited to send them out, and I know my guests will be pleased to receive them. It is a smaller card, but the pictures still looked beautiful! The quality is awesome. The cards came quickly too, a week before the delivery date! I was excited to send them out earlier than I planned! Thank you wedding paper divas again for an awesome product and service."
"LOVE these thank you note cards. Great complement to the modern initials set. Simple, chic and modern. Great paper and print quality plus the fact you can customize the color is a huge bonus!"

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

December 16, 2011 update
[New information bolded and italicized]
The end is near. Congress has approved the Fiscal Year 2012 Defense
Authorization conference report and is set to approve the Fiscal Year 2012
appropriations bills for Defense, Energy and Water and Foreign Operations
as part of a larger Omnibus Appropriations Bill.
The week of May 2, the House Armed Services Committee subcommittees marked
up or wrote their portions of . On May 11, the House Armed Services
Committee approved HR 1750, the Fiscal Year 2012 Defense Authorization
Bill, by a 60 - 1 vote, with Rep. John Garamendi (D-CA) the lone no vote.
The Committee approved $553 billion for defense plus $118 for the wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Committee adopted several amendments to limit the President's ability
to implement the New START agreement unless there is full funding for the
nuclear weapons complex, barred the retirement of nuclear weapons until
two new nuclear facilities are completed, and barred further nuclear
weapons reductions below New START levels unless approved by Congress. The
Committee added $100 million for the National Missile Defense system based
in California and Alaska.
The Committee moved to delay permitting gays to serve openly in the
military, took steps to revive the second F-35 engine, barred transfer of
prisoners from the Guantanamo prison and approved an expanded legal basis
for the global war on terrorism.
On May 26, the House completed action on the bill. In key votes:
--> By voice vote, the House approved a Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) amendment
to add $20 million for the Global Threat Reduction Initiative.
--> By a vote of 184-234, the House defeated a second Sanchez amendment
cutting the $100 million added by the Committee for the ground-based
mid-course defense (National Missile Defense) based in Alaska and
--> By voice vote, the House approved another Sanchez amendment requiring
a report on Russia's nuclear forces and the New START Treaty.
--> By a vote of 187-234, the House defeated an Amash (R-MI) amendment
striking Section 1034 of the bill expanding the use of U.S. force abroad.
--> By a vote of 204-215, the House narrowly defeated a McGovern
(D-MA)-Jones (R-NC) amendment requiring a plan and a timeframe for an
accelerated transition of military operations from U.S. to Afghan
--> By a vote of 123-294 , the House defeated a Chaffetz (R-UT)- Welch
(D-VT) amendment requiring U.S. ground troops to withdraw from
Afghanistan, aside from those involved in small, targeted
counter-terrorism operations.
--> By a vote of 416-5, the House adopted a Conyers (D-MI) amendment
barring funds in the bill for deploying U.S. troops or private security
contractors on the ground in Libya except for rescue of U.S. troops in
imminent danger.
On June 16, the Senate Armed Services Committee completed action of the
Fiscal Year 2012 Defense Authorization bill. The committee approved $682.5
billion, including $553 billion for the base budget, $117.8 billion for
the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and $18.1 billion for Department of
Energy nuclear programs. The committee cut about $6.4 billion from the
President's request. Some highlights:
= $2.6 billion for the Nonproliferation Programs at the Department of
Energy, a reduction of $2.8 million below the budget request.
= $508.2 million for the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program, the
requested amount.
= $7.6 billion for National Nuclear Security Agency nuclear complex
= $10.3 billion for missile defense programs, including $1.2 billion for
the Ground-based Midcourse Defense system
= Expresses the sense of Congress in support of efforts of the United
States to pursue missile defense cooperation with Russia
= Requires President to submit a net assessment to support any proposal to
reduce the nuclear weapons stockpile below the numbers in the New START
Treaty or to reduce the number of hedge weapons in the stockpile
= Endorses securing vulnerable fissile material in four years and
increasing focus on preventing proliferation globally by expanding threat
reduction partnerships
= Supports joint U.S. and Russian efforts to destroy 34 metric tons each
of weapons usable plutonium by fully funding the U.S. plutonium
disposition program.

On December 1, the Senate completed action on the bill. In some
significant action, it approved by voice vote urging the President to
speed up the troop withdrawal from Afghanistan, placed greater sanctions
on Iran and approved detainee provisions that the Administration objects
to. For a complete list of key amendments considered, click here.
On December 12, Senate and House conferees filed the Conference report. It
provided $530 billion for the Pentagon's base budget, as well as $116
billion for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and $17 billion for nuclear
weapons-related spending at the Department of Energy. The total bill, at
$662 billion, provides $26.6 billion less than the President's requested
amount in accordance with limits set by the debt deal in August 2011.
Senate and House conferees responsibly bridged the differences between the
two versions of the bill on nuclear weapons policy and missile defense
provisions. The House bill had included many objectionable limitations on
nuclear and missile defense policy matters that would 1) constrain the
Pentagon's ability to implement the New START treaty and 2) undercut the
Constitutional authority of the President and senior military leaders to
determine U.S. nuclear force structure and engage in discussions with the
Russians on missile defense cooperation. The conferees slightly softened
language on detainees and Iran sanctions.Click here for a more
comprehensive analysis of the bill. On December 14, the House approved the
measure 283-136. The Senate vote on December 15 was 86-13.
On June 15, the House Appropriations Committee marked up the bill and
approved it 26-20. Every Democrat except Energy and Water Subcommittee
Ranking Member Pete Visclosky (D-IN) opposed the bill. The Committee
approved $2.1 billion for the National Nuclear Security Administration's
(NNSA) Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation account, a $428 million reduction
from the administration's request. The bill includes $7.1 billion for
nuclear warhead and complex modernization, $498 million below the FY 2012
request and $195 million above the FY 2011 appropriation. Click here for
an analysis of the bill.
On July 15, the House approved the bill by a vote of 219-196. Before that
vote, a Fortenberry (R-NE)-Sanchez (D-CA) amendment to add $35 million for
non-proliferation funding was approved by voice vote. A Turner (R-OH)
amendment to restore $242 million for the nuclear weapons complex was
offered and withdrawn because of a lack of votes. Two amendments to
increase energy efficiency funding by cutting the nuclear weapons complex
budget failed. A Welch (D-VT) amendment that would have transferred $491
million failed 123-300. A Tonko (D-NY)-Bass (R-NH) amendment to transfer
$227 million was defeated 149-273.
On September 6, the Senate Energy and Water Appropriations Subcommittee
approved its annual bill with the full committee following up on September
7. The Senate Committee fully funded the Global Threat Reduction
Initiative (GTRI), the key program in the effort to secure and eliminate
dangerous nuclear material worldwide, at the FY 2012 requested level, an
increase of $72 million over the FY 2011 enacted level. The Committee
fully funded the International Nuclear Materials Protection and
Cooperation (INMPC) account's nuclear material security programs in Russia
and the Second Line of Defense program to install radiation detectors. On
the weapons side, the Committee appropriated $7.2 billion, an increase of
$294 million over the FY 2011 enacted level. The appropriation is $440
million less than the President's FY 2012 request of $7.6 billion. Click
here for an analysis of the bill.
The conference report on Energy and Water, part of a larger Omnibus
Appropriations Bill, provides $11.07 billion for the National Nuclear
Security Administration (NNSA), an increase of $548 million (or 5.2%)
above the FY 2011 enacted level and a decrease of $713 million (or 6%)
below the FY 2012 requested level. The conference agreement followed the
Senate's lead in nearly fully funding NNSA's essential nuclear and
radiological material security and nonproliferation programs,
demonstrating yet again the strong bipartisan support for these programs.
The bill includes $500 million for the Global Threat Reduction Initiative
and $571.6 million for the International Nuclear Materials Protection and
Cooperation (INMPC) account's nuclear material security programs and
Second Line of Defense. The bill also provides $7.23 billion for NNSA's
weapons activities account, an increase of $338 million over the FY 2011
enacted level, but a reduction of $355 million below the FY 2012 requested
level. Click here for a more complete analysis.
On July 27, the House State-Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee
approved by voice vote its Fiscal 2012 bill. The subcommittee voted a
total of $47.2 billion, $7.4 billion less than requested by the Obama
Administration and about $1 billion less that the current funding. The
bill provides $2.9 billion for U.N. dues, $600 million less than the
request. It rescinds a $108 billion tranche of funding for the
International Monetary Fund. It cuts multilateral assistance by $803
million or 35% from current funding and $2.2 billion or 59% from the
President's request; provides $25 million to the U.S. Institute for Peace,
36% below the current fiscal year and 42% less than the request; provides
$1.34 to international organizations, 15% below the current year. The full
committee markup was scheduled before the summer recess and then postponed
until an uncertain time.
On September 21, the Senate Appropriations Committee approved $53.3
billion, including $44.6 billion for non-war related "base" programs and
$8.7 billion for the Overseas Contingency Operations account. The base
budget is 12.2% below the President's request but well above the House's
level of $39.6 billion. The bill provides $1.9 billion for international
peacekeeping, $209 million above the House bill, and $355 million for
voluntary contributions to international organizations.
The bill, which had been headed for the Senate floor, was pulled off the
floor, probably to reemerge in an large-scale Omnibus Appropriations Bill
by the end of the year -- or the programs will be funded in a Continuing
The final funding level in the omnibus appropriations is $42.1 billion in
base funding for State-Foreign Operations, roughly splitting the
difference between the base levels proposed by the House and Senate
earlier this year. This level represents a 5% decrease from FY11 and 14%
from FY10. The measure also provides $11.2 billion in the Overseas
Contingency Operations (OCO) account for war-related programs in the
Frontline States - $2.5 billion above the President's request. Adding
these two together results in total funding of $53.3 billion, close to the
Fiscal Year 2011 enacted levels. (from U.S. Global Leadership Coalition)
On June 14, the full House Appropriations committee approved the Fiscal
Year 2012 Defense Appropriations bill. The bill contains $530 billion in
non-emergency funding, an increase of $17 billion over last year's level
and a decrease of $9 billion from the President's request. In addition,
the bill contains $119 billion in emergency spending for the wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan. The total in the bill is $648.7 billion. Click here for
an analysis of the bill.
On July 8, the House completed action on the bill and approved it 331-87.
In key votes:
-->By a vote of 98-322, the House defeated a Welch (D-VT) amendment to
eliminate funding for a new nuclear bomber.
-->By a vote of 181-244, the House defeated a Frank (D-MA) amendment to
cut the $17 billion increase in the bill in half.
-->By a vote of 113-307, the House defeated a Polis (D-CO) amendment to
cut the number of U.S. troops overseas.
-->By a vote of 226-201, the House approve a McCollum (D-MN) amendment to
cut $125 million from Pentagon spending on bands.
For the many votes on Afghanistan and Libya, please see separate sections.
For a more complete list of amendments, click here.
On September 15, the Senate Appropriations completed action on the Fiscal
Year 2012 Defense bill. The committee approved $513 billion for the base
budget, plus $117.6 billion to pay for the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,
for a total of $630.6 billion. The bill is a freeze at last year's level
for the base budget, about $26 billion less than requested by the Obama
Administration and $17 billion less than approved by the House. The
Nunn-Lugar non-proliferation program received full funding of $508
million. The bill includes $8.6 billion for the Missile Defense Agency
plus other missile defense funds elsewhere in the bill. It is not clear
when the bill will go to the Senate floor.
The final conference report, included in the larger Omnibus Appropriations
Bill, provides $518.1 billion for the Pentagon base budget, an increase of
$5.1 billion over fiscal year 2011 and a reduction of $20.8 billion below
the President's request. The bill provided $115.1 billion for ongoing war
operations largely in Afghanistan, $2.8 billion below the President's
request and $43 billion below Fiscal Year 2011 appropriations.
On May 26, by a vote of 204-215, the House narrowly defeated a McGovern
(D-MA)-Jones (R-NC) amendment requiring a plan and a timeframe for an
accelerated transition of military operations from U.S. to Afghan
On May 26, by a vote of 123-294 , the House defeated a Chaffetz (R-UT)-
Welch (D-VT) amendment requiring U.S. ground troops to withdraw from
Afghanistan, aside from those involved in small, targeted
counter-terrorism operations.
On June 15, 27 Senators, led by Merkley (D-OR), Lee (R-UT) and Udall
(D-NM), sent a letter to the President urging a sizable and sustained
reduction of forces in Afghanistan.
On June 22, President Obama announced the withdrawal of 10,000 troops from
Afghanistan by the end of 2011 and an additional 23,000 by September 2012.
When the House considered the Fiscal Year 2012 Defense Appropriations
Bill, it took a series of votes on Afghanistan. Some key amendments:
-->By a vote of 97-322, the House defeated a Lee (D-CA) amendment to bring
all U.S. troops home.
-->By a vote of 133-295, the House defeated a Garamendi (D-CA) amendment
to bring troops home in the next 18 months.
There were a number of other amendments related to Afghanistan. For a more
complete list of amendments, click here.
On November 30, the Senate adopted by voice vote a Merkley (D-OR)
amendment co-sponsored by 21 other Senators that asked the President to
provide a plan to Congress for an accelerated withdrawal of U.S. combat
troops. The prevision was essentially dropped in conference.
On November 2, the House Committee on Foreign Affairs approved two
measures to place additional sanctions on Iran and those that trade with
Iran, H.R. 1905 and H.R. 2105. On December 1, the Senate voted 100 - 0 to
place sanctions on any entity dealing with Iran's central bank. That
amendment is part of the Fiscal Year 2012 Defense Authorization Bill.
Small changes to the provision in conference would give the president
slightly more flexibility in waiving some of the sanctions on national
security grounds, but the provision adopted initially by the Senate
emerged from conference largely intact.

Has anyone dry hoped cider? I have a 3 gallon batch ready to rack to secondary and 1/4 to 1/2 oz of Hallertauer left over from a few brews ago. Any ideas how this would work?
What kind of cider do you have? Maybe you can split off a gallon so if you don't like it, its not a total loss.
Good idea. Its just Cider and Dry English Ale yeast(WLP007). OG 1.05- Three weeks 1.001
Ya, I think I would split it off. I feel like all that alcohol will extract a lot of aroma from the hops which may overpower the cider, but maybe not. Worth a try. What part of MA are you in?
Still up in the air -I might leave it alone or just do a gallon. From Worcester.
what was that about not messing with it?

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jordan Everything was Excellent
This was such an amazing trip and the Sheraton Waikiki was the true reason. From valet when we arrived late at night to the front desk when we checked out early in the morning, EVERYONE was so nice and accommodating. The rooms were spacious and clean, housekeeping attentive and boasted a beautiful view. The food by the pool was some of the best we've ever had outside of a four star restaurant. We will be returning in the future!

I requested a double bed for and at check in only King bed was available, the staff offered a roll out bed at no charge and that was fine. we checked in at 1130am and at 4:00pm I had to call to check on the bed due to my husbad and I going to a party, we were told it was on its way. At 11:30pm we arrived back at our room to find my son sleeping on the floor. called again and they FINALLY CAME. Other than that I LOVED my stay!

I check in a lot here at Sherraton, the last two recents stay we're unsatisfy upon check in. We check as a Hot Rates guest and treated differently. We feel like we were not welcome as a guest upon check in and when we complain about our room I was not given a choice or options because our booking was booked hot rates. I believe that no matter what type of booking we should have been treated as a guest. Our confirmation shows that we are confirm in a city view with balcony but we didn't got balcony, we got a room on the six floor with a small window . Feel like a dungeons. MOD that night has not given me on option and that's not acceptable to me. I been in the hotel industry for 10 years and manage a hotel his response is unacceptable. So called next day talk to another MOD she was able to help me and moved me into a better room. I was happy after wards.

This hotel had excellent staff-Bridget in the restaurant was outstanding. She was clearly loaded with tables on Sunday morning but paid extra attention to us, bringing over the coffee my client liked so she could see the brand and package. She was polite, accommodating and very hard working. The front desk staff overall was outstanding-whether remote or at the actual front desk they were pleasant, professional and friendly.

We stayed at the hotel over Christmas vacation, which included New Year's Eve. This was a family vacation and we celebrated our son's 16th b-day. What an incredible hotel and the location was perfect. Excellent service, spacious guest rooms helped make this a special place to our family. THANK YOU! The NYE celebration (which we enjoyed from the balcony of our room) was a blast. Big party and fireworks on the beach. Amazing!

My mom tried to order me a bday cake and had major issues. After two hours on the phone she finally got strawberries and champagne ordered. We checked in and it was delivered several hours later when we were out. They were not good the next morning. After the trouble and expense it was not worth it.
We booked local rate since we live in Hawaii. Upon check in the requested our hawaii id. I have them our Texas license with the Hawaii address since we're military. They said that wouldn't work but we could use our electric bill. How is a license not better than an electric bill with the same address and name but no picture? They hassled me for 20 minutes while a line of people waited. They decided to give an exception. The rate is not that much cheaper. Our weekend stay was $600. We could have chosen to stay somewhere just as nice for cheaper but I like the sharton.

Plats are recognized nicely at the SPG hotel. We were upgraded to a suite, access to the nicest lounge, and staff was exceptionally nice. A plat bracelet got us all the towels we needed and no waiting. This hotel makes me stay loyal to the SPG program. I can bring my family here every year for spring break to relax, The Lawsons store made us feel like we lived in Japan again. Thank you Sheraton for making our stay perfect!

The hotel was beautiful. I would like to make a few suggestions that would have made my stay better.
First off, there were tons of tiny ants in my room. Which, to an extent I can understand, being on a tropical island. However, there were so many it was gross. They were on my toothbrush and hair brush.
Further, my 13 year old daughter had broken her the leg the week before our trip. Your hotel offered no accommodations.

Rated 2 out of 5 by WTong Nice hotel but poor service
The hotel is nice in that the hotel is very conveniently located on Waikiki beach and the pool is very nice.
However, the service at the hotel was very poor. I was met with frequent condescending remarks, staff that cut me off in the middle of my sentence because they thought they knew what I would be asking for, and one time, the staff almost yelled at me.
Also, the hotel has a resort fee of $25/day. This would not be as much of an issue except that the internet did not work on the first two days of my stay. That definitely contributed to the poor experience since internet is definitely something I need to plan my vacation.
Overall, I would recommend this hotel but only due to the location and amenities. The hotel is very busy and I think staff sometimes forget how much the customers are paying to stay there.
I was definitely not impressed with the staff here.

Rated 5 out of 5 by RichJ Frequent visitor
Visit this property 4-5 times a year. A very well run efficient preperty in good location. Nice rooms with ocean views, nice pool areas and good bars. This hotel is a favourite of japanese tour groups so not for those looking for a boutique experience. I have stayed at most of the comparable properties in Waikiki over the years and this is the best run and most efficient of all the properties. Arranging special requests (like extra lanai furniture), late check outs, SPG upgreades, everything is handled swiftly and efficiently. The location in the center of Waikiki is very convenient and the resort fee includes free parking so one can get out of Waikiki both using Lewers and Ala Wai but also back way through Fort De Russy (good when Kalakaua is blocked for parades or marathon). Last but most important is the quality of the staff who genuinely care and treat you as Ohana.

I don't know if we were extremely lucky or if all of your employees excel in customer service but both Ashley and Derek were extremely helpful, cheerful and professional upon check in and Ross (Rum Fire) was an excellent server, he was knowledgeable of the menu and the rum and the things to do in the area. They all went above and beyond to make us all (group of 8) to feel welcomed and comfortable.

We didn't stay long enough to enjoy all the features of the hotel, but those we did were fantastic! The 2 pools were great - you have to check out the sunset from the Infinity Pool area - as were the food outlets.
Room was clean, spacious and had a wonderful view of the ocean. The hotel's location provided lots of eating and shopping opportunities within easy walking distance.
Would absolutely come back to stay!

It was a beautiful hotel. Our room, balcony and view was very nice. The lobby and shops were nice. However, a nice restaurant for fine dining is needed. Also, the Kai Market needs to be open for lunch as well. The Rum Fire restaurant didn't have much of a menu, very limited.
Get rid of those orange floating bean bags in the infinity pool. They are useless and everyone I saw had trouble getting on them.

Rated 2 out of 5 by notdelighted This hotel needs work
While the hotel's common areas have obviously been upgraded, the rooms have not. The Texas phrase, "It's like putting lipstick on a pig" definitely suits this hotel. If the staff had been the least bit friendly and accomodating, it might have made up for the sub-par rooms, but sadly, I did not encounter one staff member who was polite, let alone friendly. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone.

Rated 4 out of 5 by MonkeyDoodle Great location and pool
This hotel has a lot of great features, the infinity pool is amazing and our room was nice. The hotel itself seemed extremely busy, there were a lot of tour buses and tour groups around, and had a conference going on, so it was definitely full a lot. Also, small bit of feedback on one of the stores that is located in the hotel, Lawson Station, it smells horrible and the smell goes into the lobby and every time we walked passed my husband and I would remind each other to hold our breath. Also, in the store I went looking for some pharmaceuticals one day, and hardly anything was in English. I was really disappointed that the store couldn't have a better English selection since we are in America. This hotel is gorgeous with a great pool and location, however it definitely is maximizing its tour bus potential which makes it seem busy and not as friendly to the independent traveler sometimes.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Hawaiikate The infinity pool is the drawing card!
The pool area is amazing. We stay @ the Sheraton every February, our 5th time. I was @ the Sheraton in 1973, and have to say that the rooms are basically the same, not a lot of upgrading done in that department. The breakfast buffet is spectacular. Greater supervision must be given to the pool area and restricting use to sheraton vacationers only. Too many outsiders take lounges and pool bean bags

Our room was very nice. The view was awesome. But unfortunately the neighbors were terrible. I was awakened at 1:30 a.m. by slamming doors and loud yelling. I finally called "0" at around 1:47 a.m. and security came up to quiet them down. It worked; there was no more noise, but I couldn't get back to sleep until around 4! I was so disappointed. Other than that, everything was excellent as always.

Overall , a very enjoyable stay in a large hotel ,with a great location close to the beach.all staff were well trained and courteous
Minor quibbles , were the lack of an evening ALaCarte restaurant, the buffet was adequate, but a hotel of that size should be capable of providing a decent restaurant, which were present in the adjacent hotels.
Also our room had no sunlight at any stage of the day

I am a Platinum member and the Sheraton Waikiki is the place to stay. The quality of the hotel is only exceeeded by the quality of the staff. They are committed to customer service and want to ensure guest have a great time. This is obvious from the moment you check in, to housekeeping, guest services, the Leahi Club and the pool. I will make this hotel my second home.

Reducing the subsidy on Build America Bonds would allow the federal government to revive the securities without a loss of revenue, said John Buckley , who helped design the program.
Neustar Inc. said a confidential e- mail that surfaced on a government website shows that the U.S. Federal Communications Commission has been urged to shift a contract for services held by Neustar over to rival Ericsson AB.
Puerto Rico occupies a space between foreign and domestic status with U.S. citizenship for residents, its own Olympic team and a tax system that allows individuals and companies the chance to elude the IRS.
U.S. regulators asked for public input on whether to award Ericsson AB a contract for telephone- numbers management and end an exclusive arrangement with Neustar Inc. that dates to 1997.
A tax break used by oil and gas pipeline companies such as Kinder Morgan Energy Partners LP will cost the U.S. government $7 billion through 2016, about four times more than previously estimated, Congress's tax scorekeepers said this month.

Sept. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Dan Akerson should have spent more time paying attention to Facebook.
The General Motors Co. chief executive officer had to scale back ambitions yesterday for the automaker's OnStar service, reversing a decision to track the locations of people who left the program after a flap in Washington about privacy concerns. Facebook Inc. came under fire several times in the past two years for making privacy settings hard for users to understand and control.
"It just feels to some consumers like they're being betrayed or somehow tricked," Heidi Shey, an analyst at Forrester Research, said in a phone interview. Personal data and privacy issues make up "a very sensitive area that hasn't been figured out in terms of how this information can be used or should be used."
GM said yesterday it will disable the data connection to vehicles once customers cancel the OnStar navigation, safety and security service. The Detroit-based automaker had said last week it would keep collecting information and may sell it under terms of service due to go into effect Dec. 1.
Akerson, a telecom industry veteran, has pushed OnStar to become a differentiating feature that would boost sales. While information on drivers' habits is valuable, some of the opportunity was squandered because GM poorly communicated its move, said Jeremy Anwyl, CEO of auto researcher Edmunds.com.
Facebook Foibles
Facebook introduced simpler privacy settings in May of 2010 and reduced the amount of user information that was publicly available after adding features that shared data with outside websites. CEO Mark Zuckerberg also changed how the Palo Alto, California-based company handles user-location and facial- recognition features earlier this year.
"Facebook pushes as hard as they can until everybody pushes back, and then they back up a little bit and hopes in the future you won't be paying as much attention," Anwyl said. "They've even changed the vocabulary so that we talk about 'sharing' instead of tracking. That's a very nice spin on something people look at as invasions of privacy."
OnStar will now let customers decide whether to allow a data connection and how the automaker treats what it collects, said Vijay Iyer, a company spokesman.
GM had the right idea to try to use OnStar to get information on how customers drive, said Roger Lanctot, an analyst with Strategy Analytics Inc., which advises automakers on navigation and telematics systems. Had OnStar offered customers a choice from the start and given perks to those who opted in, it would have gotten participation without seeming invasive, he said.
'Wrong Way'
"They were doing what they should be doing but in the wrong way," Lanctot said in a phone interview. "This data is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. To offer nothing is a kick in the teeth."
OnStar received no contact from the Federal Trade Commission as of yesterday, Iyer said. Senator Charles Schumer of New York had called on the regulator to investigate the data- collection policy. Senators Al Franken of Minnesota and Christopher Coons of Delaware also objected to the information tracking in a letter to the company last week. All three are Democrats.
"Many of our customers or subscribers were really unhappy with the decision," Linda Marshall, OnStar's president, said yesterday in a phone interview. OnStar failed to make clear that it wanted to be able to share information on warranties and recalls with customers that canceled the service, she said.
Anonymous Data
The company, under its existing privacy policy, may still sell or share "anonymized" data on current customers' vehicle location, speed and seat-belt use with third parties.
OnStar, which GM started in 1996, provides accident alerts, stolen-vehicle tracking and navigation to buyers of new Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac and Buick vehicles. GM began selling OnStar FMV, an aftermarket version, in July for $300 plus subscription fees that start at $199 a year.
Automakers face "huge" pressure to innovate on technology that monitors and communicates the health of their vehicles, Forrester Research said in an Aug. 11 report that warned of possible consumer backlash against the industry.
GM updated OnStar's hardware beginning with the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze to allow users to listen to Facebook updates using voice commands. OnStar has said it is testing similar capabilities for text messaging and Twitter.
OnStar generates more than $1 billion in annual revenue and is profitable, Greg Ross, vice president of business extensions, said in a January interview at the Detroit auto show.
GM's OnStar competes with systems such as Ford Motor Co.'s Sync, Toyota Motor Corp.'s Safety Connect and Lexus Enform, and Hyundai Motor Co.'s Blue Link.
Ford's Stumble
Carbuyers have balked at new technology before, Forrester noted in its August report. Ford, plagued by malfunctions of its dashboard touch-screens running Sync technology, saw its namesake brand fall to 23rd from fifth in J.D. Power & Associates' new-car quality survey in June.
Akerson, who previously led Nextel Communications Inc. and MCI Communications Corp., told reporters less than a month after becoming CEO that he had already taken a "deep dive" into OnStar.
"It used to be the automotive version of 'I've fallen and I can't get up,'" he said in a briefing with reporters in September 2010. "I don't want that; the team does not want that. There are plans in place. It's exciting, it's differentiating and it may be one of those variables in a purchase decision that tips in our advantage."

Padróns Release Family Reserve No. 46
David Savona
Posted: September 8, 2010
Forty-six years after forming his cigar company in Miami, José Orlando Padrón came to New York City for the formal release of his family's latest cigar. The Padrón Family Reserve No. 46 was unveiled last night at a sold-out smoker held at New York City's Grand Havana Room, high atop Fifth Avenue. The nearly 200 guests were a mix of Grand Havana Room members and cigar smokers who came from as far away as Cleveland, Arizona and Florida to be at the event.
The 84-year-old Padrón, accompanied by his son Jorge, was the guest of honor at the event, which was organized by Jorge Armenteros, creator of Tobacconist University. "We're all celebrating a special anniversary," said Armenteros, who called José Orlando Padrón "more than the embodiment of the American dream—he's the kind of man you only get to meet once in a lifetime."
José Orlando Padrón spoke as his son Jorge translated. The elder Padrón described his early days as a Cuban émigré in the United States, where he took various jobs to make ends meet, including bringing trays of food to airlines, even ironing, before he was able to save $600 to start his cigar company. He spoke of his dedication to the craft of making cigars, how times were tough in the beginning, how he ignored those who wished he would make candela, or green cigars, which were popular at the time, and how changing the look of his early cigars from a rounded head to one with a twisted tail—making a fuma—helped spur sales in the Miami market, where all Padróns were originally sold. He managed to sell 20,550 cigars his first year—and said he never imagined that 46 years later he would be standing in front of a crowd having sold more than 100 million cigars in his lifetime.
The Padróns have been named Cigar of the Year by Cigar Aficionado magazine three times out of six contests. Marvin R. Shanken, editor and publisher of Cigar Aficionado, came to the podium and spoke briefly, and said the cigar world was a better place because of the hard work of the father-son Padrón team.
The Padrón Family Reserve No. 46 Maduro is a dark corona gorda measuring 5 1/2 inches long by 56 ring gauge. The squared off, trunk-pressed smoke is being made with some of the Padrón's oldest tobaccos. A taste of a sample handed out at the event was full flavored, not as strong as the Family Reserve No. 45 Maduro but stronger than the 44. It had very rich, balanced flavors, with notes of nuts and cocoa. The cigar has a suggested retail price of $25, and is made in Estelí, Nicaragua, at Padrón's Tabacos Cubanica factory.
For an extensive Q&A done with José Orlando and Jorge Padrón, read the October issue of Cigar Aficionado, on newsstands now.
