These days it is hard to say whether there are better prices in Fla than on the Chesapeake. Historically the Chesapeake and Florida had very similar prices but the boats in Florida were a lot more beat up due to their tropical exposure and year round usage. One thing about the Chesapeake is that there generally seems to be more boats for sale and a wider variety of boats on the market.
I doubt the price difference on a small boat would make enough of a difference to make it worth while to buy a boat in Maryland and sail or trailer it to Florida.
I was not the person who mentioned the C&C 27 for $5K but he did mention CRAB and Spinsheet. Crab is a organization who provides access to sailing for people with physical limitations. They get a lot of boats donated and resell them moderately cheaply. The couple boats of theirs that I have looked at with people were nicely cleaned up but were not in especially good condition as you would expect out of a donated boat. Spinsheet is the local sailing magazine which features a bunch of classifieds.
SpinSheet - Boats for Sale
Good Luck,

Fox Kansas KSAS-TV - Search Results
City continues winter storm cleanup
WICHITA, Kansas City of Wichita crews are continuing the around the clock response to Tuesdays snow storm, public works officials said during a Wednesday morning news briefing.
A total of 50 trucks are being employed to plow snow and disperse treatment material.
Crews are using a straight sand treatment due to the low temperatures, which make salt less effective, Joe Pajor, the Deputy Director of Public Works & Utilities, said.
All primary routes will be plowed and sanded by this afternoon, at which time crews will begin street treatments on secondary routes.
City officials are reminding residents that property owners are responsible for clearing sidewalks and are prohibited from pushing snow into the streets.
Residents and businesses should refrain from moving snow from private driveways, parking lots, and sidewalks into the public streets.
Many roads remain snow-packed and driving conditions vary. Motorists are encouraged to drive with caution and follow the below tips:
- Plan extra time to reach your destination;
- Keep your vehicle in proper working order;
- Slow down in slick conditions, allow for extra stopping distance;
- Clear windows and windshield of ice, snow and other obstructions;
- And stay away from safety equipment on the roads.

Oh help! Hubs has installed beautiful gas fireplace and is just finishing up tv built in on the right side. He argues that the built in on the left should be tall, just underneath the top of the mantle trim and I think both sides should be symmetrical in height. His thought is that the height of the tv on the right side will balance out the look. Okay, I'm a Virgo but low on the right on high in the left? |

...it's live on Headline News. I'm no legal expert but I don't think its looking too good for Dunn.
HLN trotted out 5 legal "experts" and all agree not calling police immediately and his general demeanor (they say no remorse) are nearly insurmountable.
I wonder what the jury make-up is? Ultimately, its in their hands.

Hi everyone! Now that spring is supposed to be here, I am back in the land of living!!! Today, the temperature was up to 20C in Calgary! It was 18C yesterday here too, so it really has been lovely. BUT!!! By tomorrow, our temperature will plummet to close to 0C and we will even get about 5-10cm of snow! YIKES! My Toba Hawthorn and Norkent apple trees are full of buds that are about to burst open - OUCH! I hope they will be OK with this sudden cold temperature... please, don't mess up my trees/blossoms, Mother Nature!!! |
Follow-Up Postings:
Unless the temps get far below zero, those buds should be fine. I'm impressed that your trees are that far along though, my apples in Edmonton are just starting to show some green on the sides of the branch buds. No flower buds close to showing here. |
Thanks, don! Those buds did seem to have survived! Phew.... now I just want them to open up and show me some "green"! It is such torture waiting for spring in Calgary... LOL |
- Posted by SouthCountryGuy SE BC 5 (My Page) on Sun, May 11, 14 at 12:25
I feel your pain ostrich! While not in Calgary everything here is just poking through the soil or starting to have the odd leaf bud open. I must walk by each plant 20 times a day to see if it has grown at all. Come on Spring blooms!!! SCG |
SCG, this is hilarious - I thought that I was the only one who's been doing it - walking by my plants multiple times a day just to see what they are up to, whether they are poking their head out or growing at all!!! LOL! My neighbours must think that I am nuts... but I am glad that I am not the only one!!! :-) |
My neighbours have called me the crazy plant lady for some time now. I am also known as the bird whisperer and soon to be dragon trainer. I talk to my garden......the plants and the fairies....... :) Ginny |
Oh my gosh, Ginny, that is too funny! LOL! I had some friends over one day last year, and they told me that I was "petting my plants" in the yard.... I had no idea that I was doing it until they told me so! LOL! I guess they truly are our pets or babies... :-) |
I do that too - run my hands over them as i walk by. Nice plants! LOL Or i might say, "Oh, don't you look nice today!" Luckily we don't have any close neighbours. :> |
Ostrich, I am in Calgary this week visiting my daughter and grandson. I am sure I will be having to check out some of the garden spaces just cause tis the season. Perhaps we can meet up? send me a note. I have no memory of garden shops here anymore. Been in Edmonton for the past 10 years. Ginny PS I pet my plants too and I have the most amazing neighbours....... :) |
Man it is soooo slow this year... Everything is taking forever to come out. |
- Posted by Slimy_Okra 2b (My Page) on Tue, May 13, 14 at 17:22
The ground officially thawed out today in Saskatoon. This is the latest thaw-out date in decades. |
Had noticed quite a few trees popping their leaves and showing green, it's a bit on the late side, though within normal range. Has been an extremely erratic spring, but am finally out planting garden, potatoes went in today and will get all of the early stuff planted in the next few days including the sprouting sweetpeas. Would have liked to have had stuff sown earlier, though it was soooo cold that it wouldn't have made much difference anyways. |
We're in Winnipeg, and so excited to finally see some buds on the trees! |

Readers Respond: Are You Happy For Expectant Couple Brenda Song & Trace Cyrus?
Bringing a baby into the world is always an exciting time in anyone's life, but at 23 and 22-years-old, (respectively) Brenda Song and Trace Cyrus are definitely on the younger side of parenthood.
Celebuzz broke the news that the couple is expecting their first child together, and we asked our readers on Facebook what they thought of this baby news.
Krisha J. kept things simple by saying: "Oh... Wow!!! ;O Thats All That I Can Say !"
Lots of people didn't even know these two were dating!
Diantha O. said: "They were dating??"
Gabriela R. said: "WTF?! :-o when did that happen?!"
Rose Z. said: "wow, they don't even seem suited 2 each other, i guess opposties 2 attract!....."
Heather R. is happy for the two, saying: "WOW....did not know they were an item. GREAT news though, I love her."
Phelicia O. had well wishes, saying: "WTF?How old are they?LOL.The look of that Baby.Anyway.And he looks like Mick Jagger lol.But I wish them the best:)"
Hanna B. said: "I can honestly say that this is unexpected!!CONGRATS tough.."
The overall take away from this? Though many people are surprised by the news, they're happy for the couple.
Keep the debate going in the comments!

YUMMY!! These little gems are by far the best date bars I have tasted. The recipe is easy, easy.
My husband loves date bars and says these are his favorite of all the recipes I've tried. He can't get enough of them. Many recipes I tried before had too much crust or were far too sweet. I'm glad to finally have a recipe worth keeping. They're super easy to make, too.
These were OK for a relatively quick and easy recipe, but won't go down as a favourite. For a great date slice with a little more effort, try the date apple-nut bars also on this site. They are fabulous - the apple/date combination moderates the extreme sweetness of the dates and the chopped nuts in the dough add a lovely texture.
My children (5 and 6) made this with me, and it was a huge hit. Mixing with hands and pressing in the pan was appealing, it is quite simple, and the final product was loved by the whole family. We're making it again to take to a friend's party tonight.
What a great and easy recipe! I have had problems finding a good recipe for date squares and now I have one! Everyone loved them - couldn't eat just ONE!!
These are wonderful, I couldn't leave them alone until they were GONE. They were a big hit even with my husband. Will be making them again soon, and they're easy.
Date squares are comfort food to me but I have never made them. These were very easy to make. More cinnamon-y than I am used to. I enjoyed them more the second day versus right away. Everyone I gave some to raved about them and I have given the recipe out to many who have asked for it.

I've a Feeling We're Not in Kansas Anymore"We have traded tales, my buddies and I; of affairs, encounters, secrets, fears, self-promotion-of fantasies that we make real in the telling." In this, the first volume in Ethan Mordden's acclaimed trilogy on Manhattan gay life, he introduces a small group of friends-Dennis Savage, Little Kiwi, Carlos, and the narrator, Bud-and chronicles their exploration of the new world of gay life and the new people they are in the process of becoming. In a voice at once ironic, wistful, witty, and profound, Mordden investigates his suspicion that all of gay life is stories and that, somehow or other, all these stories are about love. |

I'm going to plant a peach tree in my yard this year. I was wondering on the availability of scion to expand the varieties for me. Are they available through this forum, or do I need to find other sources for them? I'm thinking of a 2'-3' tree to start establishing the framework I want. Or would you prefer 3'-4'? I like semi-dwarf root stock. |
Follow-Up Postings:
You are getting the horse ahead of the cart. If you don't know how to get scions you also don't know much else about growing fruit. You need to get a good tree and get it started. the size of tree you start with isn't that big of a deal. Just get something from a reliable source like Adams Country Nursery or raintree nursery. Potted trees are not better then bare root. Stores like Home depot are not reliable in giving you what the label says. If you are in the midwest, red haven is a good choice but there are others. And it does vary by region. No need to add any other varieties until next August, and you would bud graft. between now and then you are getting the tree shaped the way you want it and learning as much as you can about peach trees Keep reading this forum. |
- Posted by CharlieBoring 7 (My Page) on Mon, Feb 24, 14 at 11:48
After you get your tree established, their are lots of people who will trade you scions of different varieties on the plant exchange forum. For example, I have an elberta peach variety, an unknown peach variety, and a variety with more than one type. This year I traded for some peach, apricot and plum scions using my elberta cuttings for trade in order to expand the varieties that I have. I suggest that you research the types of peach trees that do well in your zone and buy that one as your root stock. |
Thanks Charlie, I'm thinking of Reliance for my 1st year. I have never done grafting so that will be new for me. Are peaches like apples in growth habit? I usually plant 3'-4' stock and then prune at 3' to start my framework. I'm pretty new to this site and I'm very pleased to see you can trade scions here. I'm guessing that fall is when trading starts? I'm about 50 miles from Stark Brothers and I bought my apples from them since my gas was way less than shipping. I've seen lots of suppliers in Tn but being able to hand pick has trumped their lower prices. |

"It's really important to me that my patient's care is a team effort …"
When she was growing up in the Philippines, Dr. Shirley So's father would ask her, "What good deed did you do today?" Now as an internist at Reliant Medical Group, Dr. So has an opportunity to do many good deeds. "I think one of the reasons I became a doctor is that I love working with people and if I see 25 patients in a day it gives me the opportunity to do 25 good deeds," she explains. "It's great to be able to come home from work knowing that you were able to help someone in some way."
In her practice, Dr. So really values the time she gets to spend with patients. "I think if you can spend more time with a patient then it's easier to build a rapport with them. Learning more about a patient helps you build more trust, and then it's easier to involve them in more of the decisions that affect care."
Dr. So believes preventative medicine is very important in keeping her patients healthy. "It's really just as important as treating disease. If you can prevent disease getting started when people are young they can be healthy for a long time. For instance, right now we see 18-year-olds with obesity problems, high blood pressure and diabetes. This is all preventable if we can teach them to change their diet and lifestyle and lead a healthier life."
One of the things Dr. So enjoys the most about Reliant Medical Group is the electronic health record. "One of the main reasons I came here was the fact that this organization has a great electronic health record system. It's very useful for spotting patient trends and doing patient research. One of the neat things we can do for patients is send prescriptions directly to the pharmacy, and they can pick it up right after their appointment. It's one of the ways we make being a patient here easier."
Dr. So believes it's important to involve patients in decisions about their care. "It used to be that the doctor would make all the decisions but now we have a lot of choices for diagnosis and for treatments – there's not only one approach to a problem anymore. It's really important to me that my patient's care is a team effort and that the patient is the most important member of the team."
When she has some free time on the weekends, Dr. So enjoys reading short stories, watching TV and attending Bikram Yoga classes.

If you only watch one JS/jquery tutorial this year...
It should be this one:
Great class! they run you through the basics and have you do excercises on the site itself at the end of each chapter.
when you submit the code it checks the code and gives you hints if somethings wrong.
Very through and easy to understand.
Seriously folks, if your just starting or even if you think you know everything, you still might want to watch some of this.
ok. im done. no this isnt spam I dont work for the company, I jjust really enjoyed it.- Firebug is a web developers best friend! - Learn it, Love it, use it!

HTML/Java form to local CSV file
Hello all!
As you will notice I don't have any experience with programming and I need what seems like a simple form that I would like to be saved to CSV. I am restricted to using Java and HTML/CSS and the file will be saved to a network computer where all users will have full access. This form needs to be a single file and the saved csv file needs to be saved in a data folder where the form is located.
I dont mind reading and trying to learn how to make this happen but I just dont know where to go or what to learn. Im guessing this will need to be done in Java as I dont think HTML/CSS can save the completed form to CSV. If you know of any resources I can read that will target the specific task I have described please, please let me know. I am also very open to help if anyone would like to give me some tips.
To say it again... I'm not asking for a free handout for a project that I am working on. I don't mind learning..... But on the other hand I won't turn a handout down ;)
For now I need to prove functionality that this can be done. I dont need anything to look spectacular, just functional.
Here is what I have in mind for what Im trying to do:
Code: <TITLE> Feedback Form </TITLE>    <FORM action="test.com" method="post"> <fieldset class="contact_fieldset" style= "border-style: none;">

 	 <input type="radio" name="group1" value="department1"> Department 1 <input type="radio" name="group1" value="department2" checked>Department 2 <input type="radio" name="group1" value="department3"> Department 3

 Your Email:	 <input type=text name=email_address size=25>

 Your ID:	 <select> <option name="employee1" value="employee11111">11111</option> <option name="employee2" value="employee22222">22222</option> <option name="employee3" value="employee33333">33333</option> </select>

 Comments:	 <textarea name=commentarea rows="4" cols="25"></TEXTAREA>

 </fieldset> <input type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit"> </form>
I am thinking the first line in the CSV file would look like:
| 6/15/10 20:38 | Department 1 | email@example.com | 11111 | This is a test |
Thank you all so much for any help!

You should be aware that Java and Javascript are entirely different programming languages, in spite of the confusingly similar names.
You will need to use a server-side language such as PHP.

Hi everyone I very new to perennials so I haven't overwintered anything yet. I have 2 Clematis, the Empress & one from Home Depot that's labeled "tall height" Clematis nothing else identifying about it. It has a typical size and shape lighter blue/purple color bloom. They both seem to be doing well on the front porch of our house but since we brought the unidentified Clematis home it bloomed then grew like crazy. I cut it back some but since that initial bloom it's not done anything else? The Empress Clematis had many blooms when we bought it and it has grown some but not as much as the other. I switched their spots since it didn't get as much sun and it does seem to have grown some but not quite as much as the other. It also hasn't bloomed since we potted it? I read that some Clematis can be cut back to a few inches during the dormant seasons and other like the taller variety you just leave alone. How do I identify which ones I can cut back and which I don't Also, how high should I actually cut it back and when? Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Rachel I can post a picture in a few days if that would help? |
Follow-Up Postings:
A photo might help, but there are a large number of light blue/purple clematis and big box stores aren't known for accurate tags. In general, the bloom time is what tells you how to prune it. When did it bloom? If it bloomed with Empress, which is a type 2 (or B) prune, then it should be pruned the same way. Type 2 plants bloom on old growth and some on new growth as well, so spring pruning should be dead wood only. Some plants bloom better a second time (usually about September) if pruned lightly right after the first bloom to encourage new growth and to remove the old flowers. I don't grow Empress, and I am too far north to get second bloom on my type 2 clematis, so I don't know if you will get a second bloom if you prune lightly. Check to see if there buds forming on either plant over the next month. Even if they don't bloom a second time this year, they may in the future as they mature and get settled in. You said "on the front porch." Did you plant them in the ground or are they still in their pots? It is much easier to grow clematis well in the ground for beginners IMO. They are heavy feeders (same type of fertilizer as for roses in spring) and have large root balls. They like even moisture, so a mulch is helpful as well. There is also a clematis forum here on GW, though as far as I am concerned posting here is fine also. |

I read that some Clematis can be cut back to a few inches during the dormant seasons and other like the taller variety you just leave alone. ==>>> i dont know what you are reading.. but you need better sources... there are 3 specific types of Cs.. and they have different rules as to when and how to cut on them ... there are no general rules .... the default is to leave them until spring.. and cut back.. just as you are seeing new growth ... a failsafe situation ... ken |

Slobodzian said the weaker Canadian currency wasn't necessarily reducing demand for imports.
"Most of our costing is done weekly and we take the exchange rate into account," he said.
Most imports purchased — whether from the U.S. or any other country — are based on the U.S. dollar, he said.
The weaker Canadian dollar definitely helps Canadian exporters move their produce to the U.S., said John Vanderzwaag, operations manager with Toronto, Ontario-based Groenewegen & Sons Produce Sales Ltd. "It makes it a lot easier to get orders to move potatoes and onions to the U.S. for sure," he said.
Among other suppliers, China accounted for 4% of Canadian vegetable and tuber imports in 2013, about the same as 2009. The value of Canadian imports of Chinese vegetables surged 40% between 2009 and 2013, according to government of Canada statistics.
Dave Flynn, buyer for The Calgary, Alberta-based buyer for The Produce People Ltd., said the company handled some broccoli crowns from China about two years ago. "They made the ride pretty well, but on a day to day basis I'm not so sure I would want to do that,"he said. California broccoli can be supplied more frequently on a fresher basis. "You want good strong turns on all your vegetables or fruits but China would just be too long (in transit)," he said.
Slobodzian said there is some Chinese produce at the retail shelves, though not all retailers will stock it.
Selected smaller suppliers of vegetables and tubers to Canada that saw increases of more than 50% in import value between 2009 and 2013 were Guatemala (63%), Dominican Republic (143%), Honduras (68%), Costa Rica (71%), Australia (243%),
Canadian imports of fruits and edible nuts tallied $4.5 billion in 2013, up 43% from $3.14 billion in 2009. The U.S. market share of all fruit and edible nut imports was 50% in 2013, unchanged from 2009.
As with vegetables, Mexico increased in importance as a supplier of fruit to Canada. Mexico accounted for 11% of all Canadian fruit and nut imports in 2013, up from 9% in 2009.
Canadian imports of Mexican fruit and edible nuts rose 80% between 2009 and 2013.
Chile accounted for 4% of Canadian fruit and nut imports in 2013, the same share as in 2009, and Costa Rica's share of 4% in 2013 was also unchanged from 2009.
The U.S. did increase its market share for fresh grapes, commanding 47% of Canada's total imports of $439 million in 2013, up from 45% in 2009. Chile saw its share of Canada's fresh grape purchases drop from 39% in 2009 to 37% in 2013. Mexico's share of Canadian grape purchases dropped from 11% in 2009 to 9% in 2013. Peru increased its market share of the Canadian grape market from 1% in 2009 to 5% in 2013.

What is a Lower Section Caesarean section or an LSCS?
Ans: An LSCS (Lower Section Caesarean section) commonly also known as a Caesarean section (C-section) is a surgical procedure in which a baby is born through an incision made in the mother's abdominal wall and the wall of the uterus. A caesarean section is usually performed when it is more safe for the mother or the baby as compared to a vaginal birth.
Why is a Caesarian section performed?
Ans: In certain cases, it is more safe (for the mother or baby or both) that the mother undergoes a Caesarian section rather than deliver normally. Some of these conditions are:
When is the decision for a Caesarian section taken?
Ans: In 'Elective caesarean section', the surgery is planned before labour starts because there is a risk of complications.
In 'Emergency caesarean section' a decision is made to perform the operation after labour has started, because of complications which occurred during labour.
How is Caesarian section performed?
How does the recovery take place after the Caesarian section?

How To Tell the Kids You're Getting Divorced
By Teri Boots
As parents, we have to do a lot of things that aren't pleasant, telling your children that you are no longer going to be married to their mother or father is one of those things. Do not tell them apart. It is important that you both be there to explain to the kids what is going on and why. The main thing you will want to do is reassure the kids that the divorce is not their fault. Be sure to tell them that you and their other parent still love them, but sometimes married people just can't stay together.
There is no easy way to tell a child that you are divorcing. Being honest with them is essential. They need to understand that you and their other parent are not divorcing them. Kids take things to heart so easily, even today. Some will honestly believe that they did something to cause the breakup and will promise to do anything better just to keep you together. These are the kids that need that extra reassurance that it is not their fault.
You will also have the kid(s) that will blame one of you. If you had done this better, or that better, the other parent would have stayed. They are kids, they don't understand and it tends to make them feel better to have someone to blame. That is understandable. That is why it is important that both parents tell them that the divorce is not the fault of either parent. While being honest with them is important, they don't need to know that you are divorcing because one of you cheated. You both need to take responsibility and tell them that sometimes you just can't live together anymore.
No matter what the reasons are for your divorcing, the main thing you should both focus on is making sure that the kids understand that you will both be there for them and you still love them. That it isn't their fault and that as parents you equally share the blame for the divorce.

'300: Rise of An Empire' Trailer: This Is Still Sparta
Movie News By Neil Miller on June 12, 2013 | Comments (1)Don't call it a comeback, Sparta has been here for years. Abs flexing, motion slowing, blood splattering. This trailer is everything we were promised from 300: Rise of an Empire, at least based on the pedigree established by Zack Snyder's first film. This time around it's directed by Noam Murro, whose only directorial credit was the intelligent Sundance-debuting comedy Smart People. I enjoyed that film a great deal in 2008. This, however, is a CGI-designed horse of a different color. The good news? It looks exactly like 300…
Guy Ritchie Has His Fingers in a Lot of Pies
Movie News By Nathan Adams on February 16, 2011 | Comments (2)It was a big day on the Internet for Guy Ritchie. Vulture reports that the sequel to the hugely successful sword and sandals film 300 has been taken out of its original director Zack Snyder's hands and placed into Ritchie's. The film is called Xerxes and is another adaptation of a Frank Miller graphic novel. Snyder was developing the sequel already, but now Ritchie will have the opportunity to put his own stamp on the project. I guess that means all of the fight scenes are going to go from being slowed down to sped up? Regardless, if they are able to cut a trailer with enough macho posturing to lure all of the fans of 300 back into the theater, then this could be a real coup for the director. But that's not all. Ritchie also has a sequel to his successful 2009 film Sherlock Holmes coming out in December. E Online reports that this film has gone from being known as Untitled Sherlock Holmes Sequel to the slightly more fetching Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows. Eh, I don't know; it kind of sounds like a role-playing game. Untitled Sherlock Holmes Sequel might have been the thing to go with after all. It lets the people know what they're getting. All of my snickering and sniping aside, this is pretty big news for a filmmaker I went about nine years without thinking about. It was like, he made Lock, Stock and Snatch and then he totally disappeared until […]
Zack Snyder Reveals the Road Map for the 300 Sequel/Prequel
In Development By Neil Miller on October 2, 2008 | Comments (6)Since the release of 300 in 2006, fans have been enamored with director Zack Snyder's ability to translate the style of Frank Miller to the cinematic medium. Now, we are finally seeing some movement in sequel territory.

I'd love to hear some feedback. I sent beers to: Deathbrewer, brett and LostDakota Beers sent were Double Chocolate Stout, Honey Hefeweizen, Light Ale, and someone also got my last bottle of Citrus IPA. The Hefe was bottle conditioned, the rest are from the keg.
I'm enjoying the honey hefeweizen right now. not a lot of bubbles on the pour...it's pretty lightly carbonated for a weizen. leaves a small amount of lace on the glass. definite honey nose. very sweet smell. not really fruity (surprising with the wheat yeast), but has a nice spiciness to it that i really like. i think it could use a little malt background, a small amount of munich or vienna maybe. I'd think 2 lbs of honey malt would be too much but it came through nicely. lots of honey flavor but not overpowering. i can taste something a little...hot, maybe?...can't put my finger on it and the bottle is almost gone. i see that it is supposed to be over 8% but you weren't sure on the OG. looks more like 6.5% max even at 80% eff. for a 5 gallon batch. very good beer...better than any of my honey brews, but not really a style i like anyway. went down fast! i may have to try the rest of them out tonight... btw, i don't know which beers are which. this is the only one that was clearly marked. the rest all look the same and don't really coincide with your descriptions...i guess i'll just have to drink them to see what they are!
Yeah I wasn't sure on the OG on that beer because I added the honey after primary fermentation started, so there was no way to get a real OG except take my OG before fermentation and then add the honey in software.
since honey ferments out almost completely, that method should work fine. but oops...i didn't factor the honey in...it is up there! hides that alcohol well, maybe that was the bit of hotness i tasted. still great beer.
Honey Hefe Dark gold in appearance; nearly copper. Very cloudy. A bit undercarbed. Smallish head. Very nice and pleasant clove aroma. Sweet, malty, and bubble-gummy. Not too much banana detected. Very fruity overall in the nose. The taste was a bit tart. Very fruity, and almost sour in a twisted way. Strong flavor: cloves are noticeable, as is the bubblegum, but they are not as powerful as they are in the nose. Honey malt is definitely there. Very strong honey flavor. A bit too much honey flavor, as it starts to get a wee bit cloying halfway through the glass. The bitterness is a little harsh and you can feel the harshness a bit in the aftertaste. This brew has a nice medium body and I can feel the carbonation. Overall, this is a strong wheat ale that I felt was a bit too strong for a wheat ale (for my tastes) The high alcohol content could mean that it maybe just needed to age a bit longer. If I could make any suggestions, it would be to experiment with the amount of honey malt, the variety of hops, and perhaps an OG adjustment. But good, don't get me wrong!
Light Ale This bottle was absolutely filled to the brim! No headspace in the bottle at all, so maybe that was the reason for the very low carbonation. It is a very light straw color, and is crystal clear. Strong corn aroma, with some grape notes. The taste is crazy crazy corn taste, but with a nice malt background. No hoppiness, but bitterness is well-balanced. Aftertaste on this one is not very enjoyable though (sorry), but I'm getting some astringency. Could be from the corn maybe? Dry and light mouthfeel. Have you considered using kolsh yeast in this one? It could really work well. I would also consider lowering the percentage of corn in the grain bill, but that's just my take. Also, I noticed that you use simcoe hops in this one. I would be very interested in seeing how this one would turn out with an American noble hop variety, such as Liberty, or perhaps something else like Willamette... I'm always intrigued by these types of brews, just because I can respect the level of difficulty it takes to nail them. Thanks!
the light ale was bottled from the keg, I figured if I left no headspace, it couldn't let any co2 into the headspace removing carbonation from the liquid. Maybe I'm wrong, don't know. I've really never dealt much with bottling from the keg,

On the death of his father, Chlotar I, he became king of Austrasia, and he gained further territory on the death of his brother Charibert I (c. 567). He repelled attacks by the Avars (562, c. 568) and married Brunhild, the daughter of the Visigothic king. Brunhild's sister had married Sigebert's brother Chilperic I and was murdered by him. To avenge his sister-in-law's murder, Sigebert waged civil war against Chilperic, defeating him and taking most of his land. Acclaimed king by his brother's subjects, he was immediately killed by assassins in the service of Fredegund, Chilperic's second wife.

Changing Use of Internet?
I envy these days. (181 comments)
When I first started on the Internet, it consisted of academic nerds, computer scientists, a very small handful of professionals (doctors, lawyers, clergy, etc.) and system administrators. Pretty bland.
Nowadays with the great Mass on the 'net things are much more entertaining.

I am surprised at some of the negative reviews of this liner. Let me start off by saying that I have a problem with my eyes watering. Seriously. I have Kleenex on me all the time. Also, I think that the lower rim of my eye doesn't fit as tight to my eye as I would like. I had a plastic surgeon tell me that just varies from one person to another. So suffice it to say that I like to line my lower rims to sort of camouflage that. This is one of my favorite liners. Its soft and goes on very nicely. First I take a damp Q-Tip and run it over the lower rim. Then I use this liner. I let it set for a few moments and then I put on a second coat. I find it lasts as well as anything. And I have tried every liner that claims to be waterproof that I can get my hands on. I like the gunmetal and brown for everyday. Only wear the black for evening. Just ordered two more since Tarte was having a 30% off sale. Will continue to repurchase.

I have four of these and they are all very lovely colors. Moss. Espresso. Sunstone bronze. Amethyst. They are most definitely not waterproof and they smudge wonderfully. They are more like cream eyeshadows. I like to wear them smudged and then relined. I use my finger instead of the smudger at the end of the pencil because it is too scratchy. Sunstone bronze is really nice for making brown eyes glow. I just carry it with me for touch ups if needed. It usually lasts well if I don't rub my eyes too much.

This review is for the Amazonian clay waterproof liner - gold plum, which I purchased on Hautelook. This eyeliner is a nice color, but that's about it. Within thirty minutes, it was under my eyes, creeping into wrinkles. No thanks. On a side note, I've found the Stila Smudge Crayon in Umber is a similar color and stays put all day, even on the bottom lash line. Although I try to be all "green" with my makeup, the Stila liner is worth the sacrifice.

I like them, but I don't like them. I don't really use cream eyeshadows (which these are in stick form) so i figured they would be great as a lower eye liner. Completely wrong. I wear contact lenses and the formula of the pencils is too waxy. The product ends up transferring onto my contact lenses and my eyes would be irritated really quick. You can physically see a film over my lenses and my eyes just would not have it. The colors are definitely pretty and they look nice but if I can't continue using it if I can't see while wearing my contacts. They are definitely not waterproof or smudgeproof. You can wear it for a few hours before it smudges a little or wipes away completely. I tried using it as a eyebase but I had the same issue with the transfer into my eyes. It sucks cuz I actually did like the product until I pinpointed it was these products that transferred into my eyes. I would not repurchase this (bc it was limited edition) but I would not purchase anything else similar to these either from tarte. I haven't tried the skinny black liner but I feel I would run into the same issue.

I have this eye liner in deep amethyst and it is gorgeous! It is a deep purple so it really brings out the green in my eyes without looking TOO purple. It last all day and does not smudge, like at all and It is even cry proof! I prefer this over the MAC PowerPoint eyeliner I used before this. Definitely would recommend this eyeliner to anyone

Pros: Nice colour (got the dark brown one)
Cons: hard to apply, didn`t glide on easily so it tugged at my eyelids and was actually quite painful. It flaked AND smudged throughout the day, I could not wear this for a full work day without me looking like a racoon. Expensive. Pencil actually broke as well.
Verdict: STAY AWAY FROM THIS

NOT WATERPROOF. I put a bit on today (not much, it is Sunday and I'm just hanging around) and all day I've been having to wipe it with a Q-Tip off the top of my eyelids where it is transferring. I'm NOT sweating or working out (movie on the couch followed by an hour of grocery shopping) and it is not hot out. I purchased these in 3 colors since the girl at Sephora was raving about them. These are going back tomorrow! Ugh!

I got this pencil in Charcoal and it came as a duo with Just Deserts eyeshadow (Sephora was having a big sale on Tarte). I absolutely love the packaging and the shade of this eye pencil. Even though the shade is suppose to be charcoal (dark gray??), this one comes off a tiny bit dark plum/purple/indigo. It's gorgeous.
The reason I gave this product 4 lippies is because it began to crumble on my eyes as soon as I began applying! There were many flakes present underneath the eye, which never happens with my other eye liners. I am not sure if others experienced the same thing, or maybe mine is already passed its "best used until..." point, since it is natural and all.

Governor Mark Dayton has signed a bill aimed at closing the pay and compensation gap between men and women on Sunday, according to his office.
Supporters of the bill, dubbed the Women's Economic Security Act, say the average Minnesota woman earns 80 cents on the dollar compared to what a man makes in a similar job.
It doubles the amount of time given to women for maternity leave from six weeks to 12 weeks. Data shows more mothers work than stay at home in Minnesota compared to other states. It also expands access to affordable child care.
Opponents say the bill could hurt small businesses. Republican State Rep. Andrea Kieffer also argued the bill could make women seem like "a bunch of whiners."

Radford Highlanders (2-1)
@6 Duke Blue Devils (4-0)
Saturday, November 21
Cameron Indoor Stadium
Attendance: 9,314
6 Duke
Durham, NC (Sports Network) - Nolan Smith had 20 points and seven assists, as ninth-ranked Duke thumped Radford, 104-67, at Cameron Indoor Stadium.
Andre Dawkins scored 20 points off the bench for the Blue Devils (4-0), who eclipsed the century mark for the second straight game. Jon Scheyer chipped in 18 points and seven assists, while Kyle Singler finished with 13 points, seven assists and seven boards.
"We connected on passes. We were connecting shots," said Duke head coach Mike Krzyzewski. "There was rhythm, a really good rhythm. Andre (Dawkins) coming off and shooting the way he did -- he got them all in rhythm. It says a lot for our veteran guys. They got him the ball. I love my team. They are very unselfish, a very unselfish basketball team."
Artsiom Parakhouski recorded a double-double with game-highs of 23 points and 14 rebounds for the Highlanders (2-1), who opened the season with victories over Navy and Lynchburg.
"They're (Duke) good. And they shot great today," said Radford head coach Brad Greenberg. "I think when they play like that, they're one of the best teams in the country. If they shoot like that, they have a chance to beat anybody."
Blake Smith drained a three-pointer and Phillip Martin hit a layup to put Radford on top, 13-10, less than five minutes into the contest. That was the final time the visitors held a lead.
Duke scored 18 of the next 20 points, and the advantage ballooned to 43-22 after Scheyer knocked down a trey. The Blue Devils took a 59-34 lead into the break and cruised through the final 20 minutes.

Although an ear cuff may sound like something crime-related, it is actually a beautiful statement piece. Essentially, an ear cuff is a bold piece of metals or jewels that wraps around a good portion of your ear. Unlike traditional earrings, they take up a substantial part of your ear and cartilage without the burden of stretching out your piercing. It is a creative approach to jewelry, for those who want to switch up their ear embellishments from traditional earrings to something more peculiar. This step-by-step pictorial by Trinkets in Bloom will help you get a head start on this recent fad.
All it takes is bold vintage earrings or brooches and some wire. Fasten the wire to your choice of trinket so that it snugly hooks onto the fold of your ear. Celebrities and fashion icons like Miranda Kerr and Rihanna have been spotted sporting similar extravagant ear pieces.

Alabama ban overturned
Timothy Kincaid
January 23rd, 2015
This just in:
If anything, Alabama's prohibition of same-sex marriage detracts from its goal of promoting optimal environments for children. Those children currently being raised by same-sex parents in Alabama are just as worthy of protection and recognition by the State as are the children being raised by opposite-sex parents. Yet Alabama's Sanctity laws harms the children of same-sex couples for the same reasons that the Supreme Court found that the Defense of Marriage Act harmed the children of same-sex couples. Such a law "humiliates [ ] thousands of children now being raised by same-sex couples. The law in question makes it even more difficult for the children to understand the integrity and closeness of their own family and its concord with other families in their community and in their daily lives." Windsor, 133 S.Ct. at 2694. Alabama's prohibition and non-recognition of same-sex marriage "also brings financial harm to children of same-sex couples." id. at 2695, because it denies the families of these children a panoply of benefits that the State and the federal government offer to families who are legally wed. Additionally, these laws further injures those children of all couples who are themselves gay or lesbian, and who will grow up knowing that Alabama does not believe they are as capable of creating a family as their heterosexual friends.
For all of these reasons, the court finds that Alabama's marriage laws violate the Due Process Clause and Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.
As yet, there doesn't appear to be a stay on the ruling.
UPDATE: Wikipedia has the following:
On the recommendation of Senators Jeff Sessions and Richard Shelby, Granade was nominated to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Alabama by President George W. Bush on September 4. 2001 to a seat vacated Alex T. Howard, Jr. retired from Federal Judicial Service in senior status. Granade was confirmed by the Senate on February 4, and received her commission on February 12, 2002.
Yum! That irony is deeeeelicious!
Thanks for clarifying
Timothy Kincaid
September 10th, 2014
The opponents of equality have vociferously insisted that they hold no animus to gay people in their efforts to deny marriage to same-sex couples. No, it's for the children, to encourage heterosexual marriage, to send a message of paternal bonding, to encourage parentage of accidental babies, and to channel procreation into socially advantageous structures but never, ever, ever is it animus towards gay people.
No sirree.
Except, of course, that absolutely everyone knows that the primary motivation for the opposition to same-sex marriage is an objection to same-sex couples being perceived or recognized as socially, legally, or morally equivalent to opposite-sex couples. It is, and always has been, based in a desire to hold heterosexuals out as superior to homosexuals and to firmly continue that message and social position.
And perhaps nothing makes so honest an admission of that motivation than an amicus brief filed in support of the state of Utah in it's appeal to the decision by the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals that their anti-gay marriage laws violate the US Constitution.
But first the back-story.
David Fancher and Paul Hard met in Montgomery, Alabama, in 2004. Six years later, in May 2011, they married on a beach in Massachusetts. Less than three months later Fancher was dead, the consequence of a traffic accident caused by an overturned truck.
Fancher and Hard had tried to protect their family with such wills and other legal documents as they could. Nevertheless, Hard was subjected to indignity at the hospital and later at the funeral home. But no indignity mattered so much as Alabama state law which disallows anyone who isn't "next of kin" to receive compensation from a wrongful death. And the state of Alabama specifically disallowed David Fancher's husband from being next of kin.
Earlier this year, Hard sued the state and asserted that the ban on recognizing same-sex marriages legally conducted in another state were in violation of several provisions of the US Constitution and that he is legally entitled to half of the settlement. However, his mother-in-law, Pat Fancher, contacted Judge Roy Moore's Foundation for Moral Law to defend her claim on the money.
But, it's not just all about the money. And though Alabama is in the Eleventh Circuit, the Foundation for Moral Law has filed a brief arguing just why it is that Utah's anti-gay laws (and thus Alabama's) should be vindicated by the Supreme Court.
The Foundation has an interest in this case because it believes that this nation's laws should reflect the moral basis upon which the nation was founded, and that the ancient roots of the common law, the pronouncements of the legal philosophers from whom this nation's Founders derived their view of law, the views of the Founders themselves, and the views of the American people as a whole from the beginning of American history at least until very recently, have held that homosexual conduct is immoral and should not be sanctioned by giving it the official state sanction of marriage.
Well, thanks for clarifying that for us.
Yes, we've always knows that your objections to equality have no real rational reason or purpose. We've always understood that it is your religious beliefs that have justified truly vile behavior to others. We've been clear from the start that this has nothing to do with the smoke screens thrown up by state and advocacy group attorneys and everything to do with punishing gay people for their own existence.
But it's nice to see it there so starkly in print.
Can I mark it "none of the above"?

October 22nd, 2012
Ain't 'bama grand? Where else can you have an elected official implying that even though he's the (newly re-partied) Democrat, he's a better candidate because he's only a raging homophobe and not one of them there homoSEXshulls himself. From the Facebook page of Alabama State Rep. Daniel Boman (D-Sulligent):
Who would you vote for on Novemeber 6, 2012 between the following two candidates:
1) A republican who is a homosexual who has a voting record of voting AGAINST ALL homosexual legislation. Further, this particular homosexual congressman has ALL homosexuals working on his congressional staff
2) A democrat who is a straight male, but has no voting record for or against homosexual legislation.
And, though he don't come right out and say so, I assume that good-ol'-boy Boman ain't got him no homoSEXshulls on his staff, no sirreee bob.
Now Boman's claims that it's all hypothetical and he's not trying to imply anything about his opponent, Rep. Robert Aderholt (R-Haleyville). So if you want to know if Aderholt is a homoSEXshull, call him and ask him. And while Aderholt's record is about what you'd expect from an Alabama Republican (vile), he did at least have a good come-back: (AL.com)
Contacted for a response to Boman's tactics, Aderholt's campaign offered only this: "When someone is making a fool of himself, we hate to interrupt," said Aderholt campaign spokesman Brian Rell today.
But don't you go thinking Boman's a hater. No, no. He thinks that being one of them homoSEXshulls should disqualify a person from holding public office, but only if they are conservative. Ya know, cuz that not just homoSEXshullism, that's not just an office full of them there homoSEXshulls for your staff, that's downright homoSEXshull hypocrisy. Lordy!
But back to the question.
Who would I vote for? Neither. Or maybe I'd just mark the ballot "the biggest homophobic asshat in the race" and let them argue over which one I meant.
Third, Y'all
Jim Burroway
March 14th, 2012
My favorite headline of the day came from the Associated Press yesterday morning: "Voting in Alabama, Mississippi could clarify race." As if. If anything's clear, it's that Republican voters don't want anybody to win the nomination, and it looks like they just might get their way.
Santorum | 35% | 33% | 25% |
Gingrich | 29% | 31% | 11% |
Romney | 29% | 30% | 45% |
Paul | 5% | 4% | 18% |
The man with the money, the candidate with not only every issued covered but every position for each issue, the establishment's favorite who who came in second in the race for the 2008 nomination and is therefore "next" — that's who came in third in Alabama and Mississippi. Third! That's, you know, after second. Ronmey managed to pull in a first place showing in the Hawaii caucuses, and he also captured all nine delegates in the American Samoan caucuses.
In this race, every delegate counts. The delegate count, which is always an approximation, looks like this according to CNN.
Delegates | |
Romney | 489 |
Santorum | 234 |
Gingrich | 139 |
Paul | 66 |
A total of 1,144 delegates are needed to win the nomination. It's hard to see Romney getting there before the convention. According to the CNN count, there are still 1,356 delegates, including superdelegates, up for grabs. Romney needs to win 48% of all the remaining delegates to capture the nomination. The next big prize is Illinois, which if Michigan and Ohio are any indication, means that Romney will probably split that state. Whether its enough to make up for the loss he's likely to receive in Louisiana and the Missouri caucuses, it's hard to say. April will be kinder to Romney, with Deleware, Maryland, D.C., New York, Connecticut, and Rhode Island coming up, but Santorum is likely to win Pennsylvania. Wisconsin may end up a tie like Ohio. But the primaries go south, literally, in May, with contests in Nebraska, Arkansas, Kentucky, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Texas. That will be rough territory for Romney.
The only way he can win is for the superdelegates to step in and throw their weight behind Romney. That is a very real possibility. Romney's picked up some powerful endorsements in the party, but those endorsement's haven't meant much when it comes to votes. Santorum or Gingrich won despite major establishment endorsements for Romney in Tennessee (Gov. Bill Haslam), Oklahoma (Sen. Tom Coburn), South Carolina (Gov. Nikki Haley), Minnesota (former Gov. Tim Pawlenty) and Kansas (former Sen. Bob Dole)
But as hard is it will be for Romney to wrap up the nomination, it'll be even harder for anyone else to catch up and surpass him. If Gingrich's ego were to somehow deflate like a popped balloon and all of his delegates went to Santorum, he'd only increase his haul to 373. (And there's no way Paul's giving up his delegates.) In the unlikely event that happens, Santorum would still have to pick up 57% of the delegates outstanding. Without it, he needs to win 67% of those remaining. Gingrich needs to pick up 74% and Paul needs 79%. So it means that when the Republicans hit Tampa this summer, there will still probably be a lot of horse trading going on.
Times Are Changing, Even In Red States

Pam Spaulding is passing on some very good news this morning. She learned that the Alabama House of Representatives passed the Hate Crimes Bill by a vote of 46 to 44, mostly along party lines. Similar legislation was defeated last year. Also passed unanimously was an anti-bullying measure.
The ultimate fate of these two bills remains uncertain as they now go to the Senate. But as Pam notes, this is huge progress.
It's Not Just Birmingham

While you're not likely to have 911 called on you in most cities, there are very few places in the world where gay couples can feel comfortable with themselves to the same degree as straight people.
Expressions of violence (at the 3:30 mark) however, are especially chilling and not as uncommon as we'd like to think.
Also, notice the difference in reactions when it's two women kissing. But even there, it's not always safe in every community.
Scottsboro, AL Gay Couple Attend Prom

March 30th, 2008
Chelsea Overstreet and Lauren Martin were like many other Scottsboro High School girls Saturday afternoon, both nervous and excited about going to their first prom in a only a few hours.
But unlike the others, they went to the dance as a gay couple, something the Scottsboro City Board of Education tried unsuccessfully to stop.
A last-minute court order from Circuit Judge John Graham citing two federal court rulings prohibited the board from barring the girls from last night's junior-senior prom. He cited one U.S. Supreme Court ruling which said that "states and their agencies … cannot set-out homosexuals for special treatment…" Another ruling "prohibits publicly-funded schools … from barring same-sex couples from school functions." Judge John Graham's injunction came down at 10:15 am yesterday.
I find it tremendously inspiring to see the bravery on the part of so many of our young people, especially given the social circumstances of living in small towns and rural communities. The youth truly are our future
