Gilbert Lionel "Gil" Rutman, emeritus professor of economics who was chair of that department and director of what was known as the Center for Economic Education (CEE), both in the SIUE School of Business, died Dec. 16 at his home in Edwardsville. He was 73. Rutman's wife, Valerie Meyer, an emerita professor of curriculum and instruction, died last month at the age of 63 (see below).
With specialties in economic development, regional and urban economics, and manpower issues, Rutman joined the Business Division faculty at SIUE in 1969. He was assistant professor of economics at West Virginia University at Morgantown from 1967-69. In addition, Rutman had been an assistant professor of economics at the University of Arizona at Tucson, a research fellow at Rhodes University in South Africa, and an instructor at Duke University. He retired from SIUE in 1999.
Rutman earned an associate's degree in liberal arts, a bachelor's in economics and a master's in economics, all at Boston University, in 1954, 1956 and 1962, respectively. He earned a doctorate in economics at Duke University in 1965. From 1956 to 1959 he served in the U.S. Air Force as a first lieutenant and then as a captain in the USAF Reserve.
He was a member of the SIUE Foundation Board and the Illinois Board of Higher Education and in 1998 was recipient of the Great Teacher Award from the SIUE Alumni Association, but voted by former students. He was particularly adept at finding current examples to illustrate the theories that were discussed in the classroom and was particularly proud of his work in GBA300, a course that emphasized the application of theory and concepts to the problems and issues encountered in the real world.
From the late 1960s to the early 1990s, Rutman studied various aspects of the mineworker labor force that was employed in South African mining. His work was supported by grants from the South African Chamber of Mines as well as grants from the U. S. Department of Education and internal funding from the SIUE Graduate School. This work that was part of a research program sponsored by the Chamber of Mines led to a quadrupling of the wages paid to the mineworkers, much of which was remitted to their families throughout Southern Africa.
He also investigated the labor market for economists, the development of property rights in the tribal areas of Eastern and Southern Africa, and the economics of the U. S. railroad industry that led to the Federal Employers Labor Act (FELA). In addition to a book and more than 30 articles in professional journals, Rutman co-authored more than 100 other papers that were presented before the meetings of virtually all of the national and regional economics associations in the United States and several international organizations.
Visitation has been scheduled for 4-8 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 20, at Weber & Rodney Funeral Home in Edwardsville, with services from the funeral home beginning at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 21. Interment will be in Zziller Cemetery in West Roxbury, Mass. A University memorial service is being planned for after the first of the year.
Memorials may be made to the Abraham Rutman Fund, c/o the SIUE School of Business, Edwardsville, IL 62026-1051. Checks should be written to the SIUE Foundation referencing the Rutman Fund on the check memo line.
Some information for this obituary was written and submitted by David Ault, emeritus professor of economics and finance in the School of Business.
Harlan Bruce Brubaker, emeritus professor of educational leadership and SIUE administrator, and one of the founding pioneers of SIUE, died Wednesday, Dec. 3, at the Westmont (IL) Convalescent Center. He was 93.
Brubaker retired from SIUE in 1985 after 26 years of service. He began his career with the University in 1959 as coordinator of functions of the General Office at what was then known as SIU's Alton Residence Center and assistant to the president of SIU. He later became assistant to SIU Vice President for Operations Clarence W. Stephens. He went on to be named assistant dean of University Extension Services and then chairman of SIUE's Department of Educational Administration.
In addition to his service to the University, Brubaker also was known for his civic and community leadership, as well as for his love of music and strong religious faith. He was one of the original founders and members of the Epilepsy Foundation of Greater Southern Illinois, formerly known as the Epilepsy Association of Southwestern Illinois. He worked for some 20 years to establish a hospital in Edwardsville and later became one of the founders of Anderson Hospital in Maryville, for which he served on that hospital's board of directors for 20 years. He was a member of the Glen Carbon-New Bethel United Methodist Church, for which he served in several leadership positions, and also had been a member of St. John's United Methodist Church in Edwardsville. Brubaker and his wife, Ruth, participated with the church choir-he sang and his wife played the church organ. Ruth herself taught Kindergarten in Edwardsville for more than 28 years and also taught elementary school for 10 years in Gary, Ind.
Born May 12, 1915, in LaFontaine, Ind., Brubaker served as a U.S. Navy lieutenant on an LST1024 in the South Pacific during World War II. Upon returning home, Brubaker completed his education, earning a bachelor's at Manchester (IN) College in Manchester in 1947, a master's in 1948 and a doctorate in education in 1952 at Indiana University. It was in 1952 that Brubaker moved with his family to Oxford, Miss., to become a professor of education at the University of Mississippi. His life in Oxford inspired talks he held later at SIUE about his acquaintance with Nobel and Pulitzer prize-winning author William Faulkner. Brubaker's talks were titled "My Neighbor, William Faulkner."
In his early career, Brubaker taught band, orchestra and chorus at high schools in LaPaz and Gary, Ind. He also served for two years as principal of Butler (IN) High School. He belonged to several community and professional organizations, including Rotary International, the Chamber of Commerce, Phi Delta Kappa, the National Education Association/Illinois Education Association, the Illinois Association of School Administrators and the American Association of School Administrators. He was president of the Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Kappa at Indiana University.
A visitation is scheduled from 4-8 p.m. Friday, Dec. 5, at Weber & Rodney Funeral Home, 304 N. Main Street, Edwardsville. The funeral services are scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 6, at New Bethel United Methodist Church, 131 N. Main, Glen Carbon, with burial to follow at Woodlawn Cemetery in Edwardsville.
Mary Robinson, director of SIUE's Delyte W. Morris University Center for 13 years before she retired June 30, died Nov. 22 at The Rehabilitation Institute of St. Louis after a brief illness. She was 69. Before joining the SIUE staff in July 1995, Robinson had been director of the Student Union at Saint Louis University since 1983.
Before her employment at SLU, Robinson held several positions including consultant to Minact Inc. in Jackson, Miss., where she was responsible for program evaluation of all Job Corps Centers operated by Minact; deputy director and director of training for the St. Louis Job Corps Center; educational director and director of social services for Providence Programs Inc., St. Louis; social service supervisor for the Human Development Corp. of St. Louis; social service positions with Specialized Services Inc. and the Illinois Youth Commission in East St. Louis; and activity therapist for the Department of Mental Health at Alton State Hospital.
Robinson earned a bachelor's in sociology at what was then known as Webster College in St. Louis, and a master's in social service administration, also from Webster. She was associated with several professional and community organizations and boards, receiving SLU's 1991 Woman of the Year Award, the Mary C. Bruemmer Award in 1993, also from SLU, and the Alpha Kappa Alpha Woman of the Year Award for 1993.
Arrangements were pending as of noon Monday, Nov. 24.
Valerie Meyer of Edwardsville, emerita professor of curriculum and instruction, died Thursday at Missouri Baptist Hospital from complications following surgery. She was 63.
Before joining the Education faculty full-time in 1980 as an assistant professor of secondary education, Meyer had been employed in elementary and secondary schools in Missouri and Illinois as a teacher of remedial reading, social studies, English and art. From 1975-1980, she was at the Venice (IL)-Lincoln Technical Center teaching remedial reading and life skills to adults. During that same time frame Meyer was a visiting lecturer at SIUE. Meyer became an associate professor in 1986 and a full professor in 1992. She retired from the SIUE School of Education in 2004.
A native of Oak Park, Meyer earned a bachelor's in philosophy and sociology at Marquette University in Milwaukee in 1968, a master of science in secondary education and reading at SIU Carbondale in 1972 and a doctorate in educational leadership at SIUE in 1980. Meyer was author and co-author of several publications about reading and literacy, and conducted many workshops throughout Illinois during her career. In 1981, the Illinois Adult and Continuing Educators Association awarded her Teacher of the Year for her work in adult literacy.
She is survived by her husband, Gilbert Rutman, SIUE emeritus professor of economics and finance. Visitation is scheduled from 4-8 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 9, at Weber & Rodney Funeral Home in Edwardsville. A service at the funeral home is scheduled for 10 a.m. Monday, Nov. 10. Memorials may be made in her name to the SIUE School of Education Development Fund.
Louis Bobka of Collinsville, emeritus associate professor of kinesiology and health education, and one of the pioneer faculty at SIUE, died Oct. 18 at St. Elizabeth's Hospital in Belleville. He was 77.
A native of Harrisburg, Bobka attended Harrisburg Township High School where he lettered in football, basketball and track, and was co-captain of a conference football team. He also was named to the All-State team. He was a starter in football at SIU Carbondale during his freshman year and was captain of the 1951 team. He served in the U.S. Navy from 1952-56, and was a veteran of the Korean Conflict, interrupting his college career. He became a research assistant and a consultant in the Department of Community Development at the Carbondale campus after he earned a bachelor of science in education in 1958.
Bobka came to the new southwestern Illinois campus of SIU in 1959 in what was then known as the Department of Health, Recreation and Physical Education after earning a master of science in education at SIU Carbondale that same year. After serving the SIU system for more than 35 years, Bobka retired from SIUE in 1993.
Visitation is scheduled from 9:30-11 a.m. Thursday, Oct. 23, with service to follow at Riggin-Pillatsch & Burke Funeral Home in Carterville. Burial will be in Hillcrest Cemetery in Carterville.

Robert R. Phillips, an instructor of economics and finance who won the SIUE Alumni Association's Great Teacher Award in 2006, died Friday, Sept. 5, following surgery. The Great Teacher Award, given annually by the association, recognizes a faculty member who is nominated directly by alumni.
Phillips earned a BS in chemical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis and an MBA at the University of Illinois. Phillips said he had been employed by several "high-profile companies," such as IBM Corp. and Mars Inc., before joining the economics and finance faculty at SIUE in 1997. He believed that those experiences, along with owning a private firm himself, allowed him opportunities to share real-world examples to illustrate practicalities in classroom concepts.
There will be a reception honoring Phillips' life from 3-6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, in Room 2316 of Alumni Hall, near the Economics and Finance offices.
Memorials may be made to the Robert R. Phillips Scholarship Fund, created by the family, in the SIUE School of Business. For more information, contact Judy Woodruff, (618) 650.2317, or by e-mail: email@example.com.
"All of us must be able to employ this fabric of language and logic to understand the immortality of ideas and skills that make the humanities a lasting, malleable art and science, acquiescent and philosophically flexible." | |
~William T. Going
speaking during SIUE's 25th Anniversary lecture series in 1982. |
William Thornbury Going, who was hired as the first full professor of English at the old Alton Residence Center in 1957 and the next year appointed the first dean of Instruction and Academic Affairs, died Sept. 7 at Anderson Hospital in Maryville. He was 93. Although some would later refer to Going as the first Provost at SIUE, he would demure, saying he and the faculty developed the curriculum in those early days of the fledgling University.
But, there's no question Going was a significant force in the evolution of SIUE, including teaching literature after stepping down from his administrative duties in 1965. He retired in 1980 as emeritus professor of English Language and Literature in what was known then as the School of Humanities.
The quiet educator from Birmingham, Ala., began his career at Duke University, where he served as a Scholar Fellow from 1936-38. During summer 1938, Going was appointed an assistant professor at Howard College in Birmingham; he also taught in that city's West End High School during 1938-39. He accepted a position in 1939 as an associate professor of English at the University of Alabama and continued there until coming to SIUE.
He received a baccalaureate from the University of Alabama in 1936, his master's from Duke and a doctorate in education from the University of Michigan in 1954, specializing in 19th and 20th century literature in America and England. He was devoted all his life to studies in the Humanities. In 1973 Going was honored with the Outstanding Educator of America Award from the Outstanding Educators of America organization in Washington, D.C. He also was a prolific author, essayist and editor.
Going and his good friend, Harold See, also considered invaluable in garnering grass roots support for establishing the Southwestern Campus of SIU, each received the President's Award of Merit at SIUE in 1992. it was noted that as dean of Instruction and Academic Affairs Going recruited and hired faculty, who taught at the early residence centers and then moved to the Edwardsville campus. During this time he also established academic standards based on the premise that teaching and scholarship best flourish as "intertwined enterprises." In this regard he served as a role model for other faculty, teaching courses from freshman English through graduate seminars and continuing his scholarly endeavors throughout the years of his administrative service.
Under Going's guidance, the faculty developed its first general education program and created a unified academic advisement structure to support student learning. He began an honors program and initiated the campus' first honors day during the 1958-59 academic year. According to the bio, Going strongly supported the view "that if the Southwestern Illinois Campus was to serve its constituencies properly, it had to be academically independent; not merely a duplication of the academic organization in Carbondale." As a result, the bio states, the SIU Board of Trustees in 1960 approved an educational organization for SIUE that created "an initial structure of academic divisions each led by a division head. This was the seed from which grew SIUE's academic school and department structure" that continued intact until 1993 with some remnants of that structure enduring.
The Board's action, the bio continues, "also recognized that a fundamental reason for establishing the structure was to encourage the development of curricula appropriate to this region's needs." In addition, Going helped develop independent graduate programs and was instrumental in locating a nursing program at SIUE. "He pursued the establishment of other professional programs at SIUE," according to the bio, "and helped lay the groundwork for creating the School of Dental Medicine."
In recent years, Going established the William and Margaret Going Professorship to recognize and honor outstanding faculty achievement, and continued to keep in touch with SIUE administrators and faculty. He also was a member of the SIUE Foundation during his retirement years.
At SIUE's 2000 Spring Commencement, Going was given a Doctor of Humane Letters degree. In his genteel southern way he charmed the audience with a humorous dissertation about how SIUE had a connection to the old Shurtleff College in Alton, because after closing and becoming part of the new campus of SIU, many of its professors continued as SIUE faculty. Because of that continuity, Going reasoned, Shurtleff's founding date of 1827 was shared by SIUE; therefore, making it older than the University of Illinois by some 40 years.
Going was preceded in death by his wife, and, at his request, there will be no memorial service. Memorials may be made to the William and Margaret Going Professorship endowment through the SIUE Foundation, SIUE, Edwardsville, IL 62026-1082.
James L. Owens Jr. of St. Louis, emeritus professor of Curriculum and Instruction, died July 26, just four days before his 71st birthday. A lifelong educator, Owens began his career in 1960 as a teacher in the Pruitt School in St. Louis, after graduating with a bachelor's in elementary education at what was known then as Harris Teachers College in St. Louis. He earned a master's in educational administration at the University of Illinois in 1967.
After leaving Pruitt, Owens became coordinator of the elementary student teaching program at the U of I until 1970. That year he became director of special programs at the old State Community College in East St. Louis. Owens joined the SIUE School of Education in 1970 and went on to earn a doctorate in elementary education from Saint Louis University in 1971. He retired from SIUE in 2002 after 32 years of service to the University.

Sandra Sliker Bouman, associate professor of music, died June 22 at her home in St. Louis after a valiant fight against breast cancer. It has been said that Bouman's work at SIUE was marked by a drive to improve the quality of instruction in her field and to diversify opportunities for professional development, culminating in the creation of a new certificate program in vocal pedagogy aimed at the needs of working school teachers. She was 68.
Serving as a judge of the Metropolitan Opera's Regional Auditions in Minneapolis, and conducting a workshop with the St. Louis Symphony Chorus, Bouman also was central to an expansion of the Opera Theatre of St. Louis's "Artist in Training" program for high school students as that program expanded into Southwestern Illinois.
A native of Philadelphia, she was reared in York, Pa., and attended Penn State University. For several years, she taught elementary and secondary music in the public schools of suburban New York and continued her studies at the Juilliard School. She took extra work in New York as a professional choral singer with the Camerata Singers and the Collegiate Chorale. She was in the choir that Leonard Bernstein utilized in a recording of his Chichester Psalms with the New York Philharmonic.
Bouman returned to Penn State in 1965 to earn a master's and an MFA in music. In 1967 she began a college teaching career at Johnson State College in Vermont, where she remained until 1986. She also held an appointment on the voice faculty of Middlebury College from 1972 through 1978, and at Dartmouth College from 1979 through 1996. In 1975-76 she earned a diploma in French vocal music at the Ravel Academy in southern France, studying with the renowned teacher, Pierre Bernac. Later, Bouman coached extensively with the renowned John Wustman in Champaign, Ill.
Singing extensively in concert, performing solo vocal recitals, operas, oratorios, and chamber music well into her sixties, Bouman appeared in productions with Vermont Opera Theatre, Opera North, Dartmouth Summer Theatre, and, in 1995, in Robert DeCormier's production of Viktor Ullmann's The Emperor of Atlantis, which toured Vermont before a final performance in New York's Merkin Hall. In 1991 she joined the voice faculty at the University of Vermont, remaining there until her move to SIUE in 1996. During that period, Bouman was a soloist with the Panama National Symphony, and she began regular appearances for 10 years as a featured soloist at the International Music Festival in Pitten, Austria.

Tulipa cultivar Black DiamondScientific name: Tulipa cultivar Black Diamond Common name: Tulip Black Diamond Family: Lilaceae |
LocationHead for the Formal Garden. This area of our garden performs best in late spring and early summer. However it is worth a visit now to see a cluster of tulips abundantly bedecked with glossy, deep-red blooms. |
On first investigation these bulbs seemed to be recorded as Tulipa cultivar 'Black Diamond' which produces single, late-flowering blooms with petal exterior dark, reddish brown or deep mahogany and a 'dahlia purple' shade on the inside of the petals. 'Black Diamond' came on the market in 1962 and belongs to a class of Single Late Tulips established to cover the range of hybrid tulips formerly referred to as 'Darwin', 'Cottage', 'Old Breeder' and 'Scheeper'. We have a small dilemma with our Black Diamond in that it seems to be early flowering and while it is a lovely deep red it is hard to see how it would qualify for Bruce Zimmermans 'Blackest Tulip' appellation. While we attempt to resolve this mystery we can certainly admire such beauty. Perhaps we can also ponder the plant worlds obsession with producing the impossible, a truly black tulip. Alexander Dumas 1850 novel The Black Tulip is credited with inspiring this horticultural quest that continues to the present. |

Though he sold the farm to his son, Gary Crouch, and head grower, Roberto Ramirez, three years ago, it was his efforts that grew Mountain Meadow Mushroom from a farm in bankruptcy to a business that now employs over 100 people.
Born in Cook County, Illinois, Bob grew up on his grandfather's dairy farm in Wisconsin apart from his mother and father who didn't have enough money to keep him with them in the city of Chicago. Bob later moved to Attica, Indiana when his father got a job with a local radio station. He attended high school there. After high school graduation, Bob says he stuck around and chose a local university. "Attica was 30 miles from Lafayette where Purdue University is. So, it was close and it was cheap and I was able to afford it. At that time tuition was $65 dollars a semester. I worked in the summer and was able to make that much money and go to school." Bob graduated from Purdue University and a few months later entered the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He took a degree in Aeronautical Engineering and started his career in science.
After graduating from MIT Bob worked for the Allison division of General Motors designing gas turbines for airplanes and became the Corporate Chief Scientist - Propulsion. In 1961 through 1962 Bob was "loaned" to the White House and served as a scientific advisor to President Kennedy. As one member of a group of four advisors Bob advised the president on, "a lot of different programs," he says. "The president was involved in lots of different projects. The space program - specifically the Mercury program - was designed to obtain the information we needed about man's capability in space flight so that we could design the Apollo."
Following his service to the White House, Bob returned to Lockheed Missiles and Space Co. as the Assistant Director of Research. He later joined North American Aviation Corporation Planning which merged with Rockwell International. He became Operational President of three divisions. In 1984 Bob retired from Rockwell International. He bought a small mushroom farm off North Broadway in Escondido and called it Mountain Meadow Mushroom.
How does an aeronautical engineer get to owning and renovating a mushroom farm? Bob says dryly, "Well I retired and it was something to do. It was strictly numbers. I visited some other farms, and I just thought I would try it and it worked. The farm was in bankruptcy when I bought it and at the time was growing about 500 pounds a week. I built it up to where it was growing 20,000 pounds a day. And that's how you make money." Asked whether he used any new scientific methods or innovations he said, "No. I just built more rooms and reduced the time to grow the mushrooms from 63 days to 50. I was just improving productivity. I wasn't using brand new methods; I was just doing it better." In 2008, Bob sold the farm to his son Gary Crouch and grower Roberto Ramirez. "The farm I purchased is the same farm that exists today. My son and Roberto have taken it over and improved it even more. Gary and Roberto make a great team."
Even as he built Mountain Meadow Mushroom, Bob kept himself busy staying involved in his community. He served on the San Diego County Farm Bureau Board of Directors for many years and was active in the Future Home Site committee from 2006 to 2008. He served on the board of directors of Western Farm Credit Bank for eight years. At the same time he and his wife, Elizabeth, were major fundraisers for the Escondido YMCA raising over $2 million dollars for the organization to renovate its pool and gym. From 1998 to 2007 he was on the board of directors of the Palomar Pomerado Hospital Foundation. He is currently on the board of the San Diego Symphony and is a past director of the San Diego Chamber Orchestra. He has also served on the board of the San Diego North Economic Development Council and the California State University, San Marcos Presidents Council.

Dear Parents and Family Members:
I hope you and your student are settling nicely into the new semester.
With the return of the students comes an increase in outdoor activities in Cortland. This compels me to explain a fairly new ordinance in the City of Cortland that affects our off-campus student renters. It is commonly referred to as the "Social Host" ordinance. Essentially, if there is evidence that underage drinking is happening on a property, the person(s) renting that property who are on the premises, whether or not they are providing alcohol or had invited the guests, can be held responsible, issued a ticket (which is considered an arrest) and fined up to $250. For example, if a person is in their rented house/apartment and a party is happening on their lawn with underage drinking, regardless of whether he/she threw the party or had anything to do with supplying alcohol, he/she can be issued that ticket for "allowing" the underage drinking to happen. It puts the responsibility of dispersing the party on the property renters. In this instance, he/she needs to call the police.
On a more pleasant note, Family Weekend will be here before we know it. This year's dates are October 31 through November 2, and more information will be mailed out and available on the website by September 22.
Best regards,
Christopher A. Kuretich

What am I entitled to under Working for Families?
The Working for Families package developed by the Labour Government is designed to take some financial stress off working families with children under the age of 18 by giving them a weekly or fortnightly amount deposited deirectly into a bank account.
The scheme has been through a couple of changes this year with the amounts going up and the name changing from Family Assistance to Family tax credit. There are a few types of tax credits that a family can receive.
Family tax credit
This provides ongoing financial support for families. How much you get depends on how much you earn, the number of children you have, their ages, and any shared care arrangements.
To calculate your Working for Families Tax Credits for this year (1st April 2009 to 31st March 2010) click here

To download Family Tax Credit information click here
To register for your Working for Families Tax Credits click here
To view a tax credits table of entitlement click here
In-work tax credit
In-work tax credit pays up to $60 a week for families with three children, and up to an extra $15 a week for each other child. To get in-work tax credit couples must normally work 30 hours a week between them, and sole parents must normally work 20 hours a week. This tax credit is for people who work a minimum hours of work a week and can be received in addition to the Family tax credit.
You can also get in-work tax credit if you're self-employed, but it's not available to families receiving an income-tested benefit or student allowance.
Minimum family tax credit
If your family's income is $22,645 or less before tax, you may be able to get a family tax credit. This payment tops up your family's income to at least $355 a week after tax (rates at 1 April 2008). To get this payment, at least one parent must be working for salary or wages. Two-parent families need to work at least 30 hours a week between them, and sole parents need to work at least 20 hours a week.
Parental tax credit
This payment helps with the costs of a new baby for the first eight weeks after your baby is born. You could get up to $1,200 (in total) depending on your family income. How much you get also depends on the type of income your family received in the first eight weeks after your child was born.
You cannot receive the Parental tax credit if you are receiving Paid Parental Leave and you must choose which payment you want to receive.
Help with Childcare costs
The childcare subsidy helps with childcare costs for children 4 years and under.
The OSCAR (Out of School Care and Recreation) subsidy covers children aged 5 to 13 years. It can help for up to 20 hours of after school care and up to 50 hours during school holidays.

The Accommodation Supplement
This payment comes from Work and Income and can help with the costs of your rent, board, mortgage and other essential housing costs. To qualify, your income has to be below a certain amount,
depending on where you live.
How much you get depends on a range of things, such as your income, assets and housing costs.
You may not qualify for the Accommodation Supplement if your mortgage is with Housing Corporation or you rent from Housing New Zealand.

Hay guys today at Walmart I stumbled upon some Sterilite File Crates that can serve a greater purpose...
Could you put it up-side-down, put the bottle necks in the holes, then stack them on top of each other to make sort of an enclosed bottle tree? I'd like to see a picture of how many you stack together!
Great Outdoors Brewery: You can't drink all day unless you start in the morning!www.frobrew.com @frobrew on the twitter
Brilliant! I may have to pick a couple of these up for use as bottle trees.
Here they are... Note that I had to remove a few bottles in order to make the "stackable tree". I tried putting some bottles on the sides, but they were not secure. Hope it works for you!
Very nice! Props for your ingenuity! I may pick up a couple of these.
Very nice! I was just thinking I needed to get another bottle tree as mine is full and I am storing bottles elsewhere now. Might be stopping at walmart on my way home tonight. Just out of curiosity how does a 22oz bottle hold? Is it really unstable?
Forgot to mention that the 22oz bottles are taller than the crates, so you wouldn't be able to stack them with these bottles.
Any way to find these online for folks who don't have Walmarts nearby (NY City)?
I'll stick with empty cardboard cases and washing machine for drying. Too much overhead.

I have found that when you work for smaller accounting firms, you will have a larger variety of duties than when you work for a larger company.
I have worked for both and gained a lot of experience through the years working as an accounting assistant. The variety of duties that I had when I worked for smaller firms gave me a wide range of experiences.
I currently work in accounting for a larger company and primarily focus on accounts receivable.
I started out as an account assistant many years ago, and have had many bookkeeping jobs since then. Years of experience and getting an education have made a big difference in the type of accounting jobs I have been able to get.

NIFA supports research on rapid detection methods to prevent and control microorganisms that contaminate food during pre- and postharvest processes.
It emphasizes the development of improved detection methods for microbial agents, naturally occurring toxicants, allergens, and chemical and biochemical contaminants that are sensitive, specific, practical, and cost-effective. Methods also include better sampling procedures than those currently in use.
Projects address how the methods being developed will be tested in field conditions. This work will shorten the detection times for foodborne pathogens, allowing the food industry and regulatory and public health agencies to diagnose and prevent future cases of foodborne illness.

Shake the bottle gently before each use.
Your Dymista Nasal Spray pump. (See Figure A)
Figure A
Instructions for Using Your Dymista Nasal Spray Pump. Before you use Dymista Nasal Spray for the first time, you will need to prime the bottle.
Before you prime the bottle, shake it gently.
Step 1.
Remove the clear plastic dust cap from the spray pump tip of the bottle. (See Figure B)
Figure B
Step 2.
Hold the bottle upright with two fingers on the shoulders of the spray pump unit and put your thumb on the bottom of the bottle. Press upward with your thumb and release for the pumping action.
- Repeat the pumping action until you see a fine mist. You should see a fine mist of the medicine after 6 pumps or less. (See Figure C)
- To get a fine mist of medicine, you must repeat the pumping action fast and use firm pressure against the bottom of the bottle.
- If you see a stream of liquid, the spray will not work right and may cause nasal discomfort.
- If you do not use Dymista Nasal Spray for 14 or more days, you will need to prime the pump with 1 spray or until you see a fine mist. If you do not see a fine mist, clean the tip of the spray nozzle. See the cleaning section below.
- Once you see the fine mist of medicine, your Dymista Nasal Spray pump is ready for use.
Figure C
To Use Dymista Nasal Spray:
Step 3. Gently blow your nose to clear nostrils. (See Figure D)
Figure D
Step 4.
Shake the bottle gently. Close 1 nostril with a finger. Tilt your head forward slightly. Keep the bottle upright and carefully place the spray pump tip ¼ to ½ inch into your other nostril. (See Figure E)
Figure E
Step 5.
For each spray firmly press the pump 1 time. Keep your head tilted down and at the same time, gently breathe in through your nostril. (See Figure F) Do not spray directly onto the nasal septum (the wall between your 2 nostrils).
- Repeat Step 5 in your other nostril.
- Do not tilt your head back. This will help to keep the medicine from going into your throat.
- If the medicine goes into your throat you may get a bitter taste in your mouth. This is normal.
Figure F
Step 6.
When you finish using Dymista Nasal Spray, wipe the spray tip with a clean tissue or cloth. Put the dust cap back on the spray pump tip of the bottle. (See Figure G)
Figure G
Each bottle of Dymista Nasal Spray contains enough medicine for you to spray medicine from the bottle 120 times. After initial priming, do not use your bottle of Dymista Nasal Spray after 120 sprays. You may not receive the right amount of medicine. Keep track of the number of sprays you use from your bottle of Dymista Nasal Spray and throw away the bottle even if it has medicine left in it. Do not count any sprays used for initially priming the bottle.
To Clean the Spray Pump Tip:
Your Dymista Nasal Spray should be cleaned at least 1 time each week. To do this:
Step 7.
Remove the dust cap and then gently pull upward on the spray pump unit to remove it from the bottle. (See Figure H)
Figure H
Step 8. Wash the spray pump unit and dust cap in warm tap water. (See Figure I)
Figure I
Step 9.
Allow to dry completely. When dry, place the spray pump unit and dust cap back on the bottle. (See Figure J)
Figure J
Step 10.
If the spray pump unit becomes blocked, it can be removed as instructed above in Step 7 and placed in warm water to soak.
Do not try to unblock the spray pump unit by inserting a pin or other sharp object. This will damage the spray pump unit and cause you not to get the right dose of medicine.
Step 11.
After the spray pump unit is unblocked, rinse the applicator and cap with cold water, and allow them to dry as in Step 10 above. When dry, place the spray pump unit back on the bottle and put the dust cap on the spray pump tip.
Step 12.
Reprime the bottle as in Steps 1 and 2 above. Replace the dust cap and your Dymista Nasal Spray is ready for use.
This Patient Package Insert and Instructions for Use has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.

(D) In general English usage, this term usually means "to prove genuine" (e.g., an art expert authenticates a Michelangelo painting). But the recommended definition carries a much narrower meaning. For example, to be precise, an ISD SHOULD NOT say "the host authenticates each received datagram". Instead, the ISD SHOULD say "the host authenticates the origin of each received datagram". In most cases, we also can say "and verifies the datagram's integrity", because that is usually implied. (See: ("relationship between data integrity service and authentication services" under) data integrity service.)
(D) ISDs SHOULD NOT talk about authenticating a digital signature or digital certificate. Instead, we "sign" and then "verify" digital signatures, and we "issue" and then "validate" digital certificates. (See: validate vs. verify.)

I've got an unusual situation (at least for me!). I've a fairly large website - fairly optimized for speed to begin with. But due to events beyond my control I'm experiencing a huge flood of traffic - and expect that to continue through the end of the month. (To give you an idea - I've had almost as much traffic in the last 3 days as all of last month.) Any suggestions or tips about any additional short term optimizations I could do? (graphics are already at a minimum)
FYI, I've already added some pages that gather together the most common info folks are seeking. And I've added links to those pages at the top of the front page.

20. Chapter Twenty
Each was therefore surprised to find a kindred spirit in the other. They exchanged a regretful glance when passing an alehouse, sighing in shared sorrow. Sam slowed to admire the pretty sight of a red lamp burning in a lace-curtained window and was surprised to feel Gimli firmly place a hand on his shoulder and hustle him past it with an embarrassed expression on what Sam could see of his bearded face. Sam turned to ask the dwarf what the matter was, but the smells of dinner wafting from a nearby inn distracted his attention. Gimli heaved a sigh of relief and thanked his ancestors he had escaped having to explain certain conventions of other races to the hobbit.
Neither hobbit nor dwarf wasted words or action or effort, and found that they shared a dry and somewhat understated sense of humor. Gimli had merely raised a bushy eyebrow and nodded his approval when Sam stopped and leaned against the edge of a building to support himself as he pulled off his boots, having the good sense to remove them and discard them in a rubbish heap before they could blister the sides and tops of his thick-soled feet.
As Sam straightened, he caught sight of a white-bordered short black cape, attached to the meaty shoulders of a large guardsman who was speaking with a townsman. Sam nudged Gimli and pointed, and the dwarf leaned past him to peer around the corner. The man was gesturing animatedly, then spread his hand and lowered it to his mid-section. To about hobbit-height. Then the man turned and pointed in their direction.
It was too dark in their shadowed place for the guardsman to see them, but the torches lining the public thoroughfare illuminated the two men well. The guardsman thanked the townsman with a nod, then placed his hand on his sword and with a grim expression, started in their direction.
Sam heard the dwarf rumble something under his breath, then felt a heavily muscled hand on his shoulder, pulling him back. Gimli jerked his head towards an alley and Sam nodded. The two retreated, seeking to slide between the buildings and be lost. Then the guardsman was rounding the corner and Sam and Gimli took off at a run.
"Halt! Halt!" the guardsman shouted. "By order of the Guard! You there – stop!"
Townsfolk were materializing on the previously deserted street, sticking their heads out of their doorways to gawk at the two fleeing figures. Gimli swerved down a side street and Sam plunged after him, any sound his hobbit-feet might have made lost in the clatter of Gimli's hob-nailed boots. The guardsman's shouts were collecting a throng of curious people, who were catching up torches and joining in the chase with entirely too much enjoyment, in Sam's opinion.
His contemplations of what his Gaffer would say about his son being chased by a mob of Men for the second time were brought up short when he slammed into Gimli's solid back. The dwarf had screeched to a stop, sparks flying from his boots, and was standing with both muscled hands braced against a high wooden fence. Their escape route had betrayed them into a dead end.
They could not possibly jump over the fence, and there was nothing nearby to use to climb over it. Gimli growled and backed up, ramming the sturdy wood with his shoulder. The fence shuddered but held. Gimli bounced off and Sam winced, sucking on his lip in sympathy. The dwarf muttered under his breath then swung back to Sam. "Samwise, I can toss you up to the top of the fence. Will you permit me?"
Sam gaped at him, stunned by the thought of such strength. He could steady himself on the posts, pull himself over and drop down the other side … escape. But then he shook his sandy head. "No, sir. No way. I'll not be leaving you. They'll have to take us together."
Gimli's hand tightened on his arm, then relaxed. "It goes ill to surrender to this motley pack. But … Gandalf and Aragorn have forbidden us mayhem." He ran a gnarled hand down the wood. "My axe would make kindling of this in moments - but our good wizard would no doubt construe that as mayhem, even if wood and not heads. We are well and truly caught, Master Samwise," he growled.
The guardsman pounded around the corner, followed closely (but not too closely) by several townsmen brandishing their torches. Gimli and Sam turned to face them, hands held away from their weapons. The guardsman, panting noisily, glowered at them and bent over with his hands on his knees. "Right," he wheezed. "I … I ordered you to stop. Not run – stop. You, sir, and the halfling are coming with me."
Gimli stepped forward and held out his hands, palms up, trying to look harmless. Respect for authority was entrenched in dwarven society and it had gone against Gimli's grain to disobey a lawfully given command. Sam had no such conflict. Hobbits were a law-abiding folk … as long as it was convenient. Both sought to keep their expressions earnest and non-threatening. Their lack of height as compared to Men aided them; they looked to be less of a danger.
"We will come peaceably," said Gimli in as soothing a tone as the gravelly-voiced dwarf could muster. "This is a misunderstanding and will certainly be cleared up when we speak with your superiors." The guardsman looked at him doubtfully but seemed grateful for the lack of resistance. The townsfolk were disappointed to see the chase end. When no further excitement looked to be forthcoming, they began to drift away.
Gimli and Sam, with their escort, were but a block from the jail when all heard a roar as if from a great beast, and a blast of heat stirred the hair on their heads and blew it back from their faces. Then fire fountained ahead of them, its source hidden by the intervening buildings. The guardsman stumbled to a stop, his jaw dropping. Sam and Gimli halted too, disbelieving eyes staring at the inferno then at each other.
"Oh, no," groaned Sam.
The guardsman uttered a short, inarticulate cry and glanced at them wildly. "You two stay here," he shouted at them. "Stay here! I'll be back for you in a moment!" His two prisoners gaped at him wordlessly. Then the man whirled and leaped forward and – fell to his knees, the haft of Gimli's axe a blur as it rebounded from his skull.
"Sorry, lad," grunted the dwarf. "Can't have you getting in the way." The man groaned and pitched forward. Gimli caught him easily and propped him up against a barrel on the wooden sidewalk. Then he and Sam were running, running towards the crackle of flames and the glow that was climbing higher into the night.
The two came upon a scene defined by flame, yellow and orange and red, flickering light that painted the street in unreal shades of fire. Boromir was kneeling, sliding an unconscious man from his shoulder and laying him flat in the street, well out of danger from the flames. Gandalf stood over him, staff in hand, gesturing urgently.
The wizard caught sight of them and waved at them to stay back. Another crowd was gathering, shouting at each other to form a bucket brigade. 'They ought 'ta be getting good at that by now,' Sam thought.
People were dashing aimlessly about in front of the burning jail and it was not difficult for Gandalf and Boromir to ease away from the supine figure and melt into all the confusion, seeking the sheltering darkness beyond. Drawing their cloaks over themselves, Gimli and Samwise worked their way inconspicuously to their sides.
The wizard looked at them unsurprised, but Boromir seemed half in shock. Gimli took in the burning jail and shouting, frantic townsfolk and remarked, "I think we had best quit this place. Did you start another fire, Gandalf?"
"I did not start another fire, Gimli!" retorted the wizard in angry exasperation. "I did not start the first one! I was a totally innocent bystander here. Almost totally innocent. It started when the commander sought to shoot me, and Boromir tackled him." Gandalf muttered something under his breath then said more loudly, "I thank you, Boromir, by the way." Boromir nodded numbly and Gandalf continued, "His bolt went wide and shattered the oil lamp."
"Be that as it may," returned the dwarf, unperturbed, "I doubt that these good people would see you as the injured party. Especially with the commander of their guard force stretched out on the ground. And considering your history of burning down important bits of their town."
"My history -" sputtered Gandalf irately, but Sam intervened.
"Sirs, sorry to interrupt, sirs, but don't you think we should get out of here?"
Gandalf glared at the hobbit for a moment, then raised his face and closed his eyes, seeking Aragorn and Legolas. Surprisingly, their life-flames were together, while somewhat behind them came two bowing, dancing sparks that could only be the youngest hobbits. A third was with Merry and Pippin, a young bright-burning spark – a mortal child? But there was no time to wonder over that now.
"That way," said the wizard, pointing with his staff. The four melted quietly into the flickering shadows and headed in the direction of the others.
* * * * *
Had Gandalf expanded his search over a wider area after locating the four familiar sparks and the one unknown one, he would have puzzled over the insensate spark of the sleeping child and the banked, waiting spark of the dark form that knelt above it. The wizard would have seen three other life-sparks hesitate at the gates of the public gardens. Frodo's spark he would have known immediately, even as the weakening flicker of its incandescent flame would have alarmed him. And the hissing life-spark that came last would have filled his heart with terror.
Peter huffed as they came through the gates and Marly looked at him, concerned. The man found a bench and eased himself and Frodo down upon it. The hobbit had been silent for most of the walk, conversing only to speculate fretfully about the source of the fiery glow they could see painting the sky red, and to urge the man to greater speed. Frodo's breathing had become louder and now rasped with a gasping quality that worried the man. Frodo did not open his eyes as Peter raised him into a sitting position in his lap. The dark curls were limp with perspiration, and sweat glimmered on his face.
"Frodo?" Peter whispered fearfully.
The hobbit did not respond. "Frodo?" the man asked again more loudly.
Frodo shuddered and forced his eyes open. Peter was alarmed to see them glazed and brilliant with fever. "We are here?" the hobbit whispered.
Marly wetted a cloth from her water skin and wiped his face with it. "Aye, sir, we're here."
Frodo tried to straighten up and Peter shifted to accommodate him, moving a hand to support the small back. The hobbit looked about him, eyes narrowing as he peered into the darkness. Here, away from the streets, there were no torches or lamps for public illumination. But the fire that the three could see over the rooflines of the narrow houses was growing, and they watched it in apprehension and fear. The flickering light outlined the half-seen forms of trees, their swaying branches seeming forbidding and menacing. The cold wind plucked at their clothing with insistent, malicious tugs.
"Do you see anything?" Frodo asked softly.
Marly and Peter shook their heads. "The note said that we were just to wait," Marly murmured, trying to keep her voice steady. "Would you like a drink, sir?"
Frodo accepted a mouthful of water, his eyes never leaving off his search of the darkness. "When this is over…" he began, then coughed. "When this is over, please tell my friends what happened. They will search for me, I know they will. Will you promise?"
"Yes, sir," Peter said softly. "We promise."
"Will you tell Brion that I am very sorry. I never meant for this to happen."
Marly gave a little cry of grief that she could not stifle. Peter's face was tight with anger and shame and terror for his son. But his voice did not waver. "Yes, Frodo. We'll tell him." They were silent then, waiting.
As they waited, Peter's eyes roved nervously over the well-known grounds of the gardens, made unfamiliar and threatening by the night. Not far away from where the three sat with pounding hearts, what they had taken to be the back of a large ornamental bush quivered slightly as the cloak-draped woman adjusted her seating. A slim hand reached from concealment to part the thick growth before her. Asleep at her feet lay the boy. In the guise of a farewell drink, she had given Brion more of the sleeping powder, and the lad had yawned and apologized to her for the yawn and then slumped unconscious at her feet.
Alissa had carried him easily, slipping along the narrow streets with the surety born of long experience and training. On the few occasions that she had encountered the residents of this little town, she had kept to the shadows until they moved on. She could move as silently as the wind. None of the people she passed were even aware of the lithe figure wrapped in a black cloak, a softly snoring burden over her shoulder.
She watched them now, the three on the bench, her eyes on the small form between the two larger ones. About the same size as the boy was all she could tell in the darkness. 'Third time pays for all,' Alissa repeated to herself, and spared a moment to wonder why she was being paid so much to deliver this halfling to her employer.
"Ring-bearer" she had overheard. One who bears a ring – very well. What type of ring? Her education as an assassin and thief enabled her to assess the value of any piece of jewelry, and tell real stones from paste at a glance. Tales of another sort of ring surfaced in her mind, faint memories of half-attended stories … magical rings that could convey vast powers upon their wearers. Dismissing such ridiculous fancies, Alissa rested, content for the moment to prepare herself.
The glow of the distant fire flickered on the faces of the three on the bench and the woman resisted the temptation to turn and look at the flames as it might affect her night-sight. She had no interest in the blaze other than how it would assist her escape with the halfling. She would not even have to disguise herself; no one would question a woman carrying what appeared to be a child when their attention was focused on saving their miserable cesspit of a town. She inclined her head under the cloak and allowed a smile to cross her features – at last, it seemed, fortune's long-averted face was turning her way.
Two others lingered outside the gates, hidden in the shadow of the high verge that surrounded the gardens. Aragorn and Legolas had come moments after Peter and Marly and Frodo, delayed by the Elf's quick climb up a drainpipe to view the burgeoning flames from a rooftop. He had not been able to see the source and they could only hope desperately that the fire had nothing to do with the Fellowship. They arrived at the gardens just in time to see Frodo and the man and the woman be seated, the human couple obviously distraught and frightened yet tender in their care of their injured friend.
Closing his eyes to listen intently, Legolas relayed the whispered conversation among the three to Aragorn, his mouth pressed against the Ranger's ear. Aragorn longed to rush in and recover Frodo, but that would endanger the child that had helped the Ring-bearer. He and Legolas had agreed to wait until the kidnapper showed, then intervene. They had little hope of spotting the kidnapper before the exchange, knowing that he would have certainly familiarized himself with the gardens first and they had no time to do so. Nor could they guess what plan of escape the man might have - either confederates waiting (as they were) in the bushes or other safeguards to ensure his escape with his prize.
It had never been said between them, but Aragorn and Legolas both knew that ultimately they had not the option of allowing the kidnapper to seize the Ring-bearer. If the child – and his parents – had to be sacrificed to that end, so it must be. Frodo might hate them for it, but three lives … or many more … could not be placed before the fate of all of Middle-earth.
They never heard the silent hobbit-feet that trailed them, though Legolas raised his head briefly at the sound of a booted foot kicking a pebble. Booted, not bare… The Elf turned his head slightly but saw nothing. He quickly returned his attention to the still tableau before him.
Merry and Pippin, with Rich behind them, released inaudible sighs of relief when Legolas did not further investigate the boy's slight misstep. Rich grimaced an apology and Pippin patted his arm in reassurance.
Unseen by any of the others, last approached a cloaked figure, limping slightly. The creature raised its head and its forked tongue tasted the night wind, catching the scents of scattered humans and halflings and one Elf. The familiar scent of the halfling he had taken was sour with illness and the creature was pleased to know that the little one's hurts had festered. It hoped it suffered greatly. It would hurt the halfling much, much more before finally being done with it. Perhaps it would keep the other halflings to play with, for a while, if it saw that the little one cared for them.
The man and the Elf it would kill first, for they were dangerous. Those two crouched with their backs to it, unaware of its presence. It would have to fly past the halflings and the human whelp to reach them. The creature did not doubt its ability to engage the two warriors before they were aware of it. Perhaps the halflings would follow once it had its prey; if they dared pursue, it could take them for its later amusement. The man and the woman with the little one it would kill quickly, for they were of no consequence. The woman that crouched in the darkness with the other human child it did not understand but she did not concern it, so long as she did nothing to hinder. Soundlessly, the creature unsheathed its sword and prepared itself for the rush of speed and flame that would gain it the One Ring … and Power unimaginable.

Beer gets dragged into the sugar debate….
Thanks to the British Beer and Pub Association who've set the record straight about a wild headline in one of the tabloids today. The Daily Mail screamed about there being 'Nine teaspoons of sugar in a pint of real ale' #yawn
Well of course it's all a load of twaddle. Beer drinkers know that, but if you're new to beer then you'd be forgiven for the headline making you think twice about any beer you were ABOUT to try. Well, don't think twice. Just go ahead and drink some. That kind of mis-information really gets on my pip! Why not read the truth about beer here on a post I wrote for you almost a year ago beer healthy's qualities!
My message to the Daily Mail is please STOP getting beer twisted!!!!!
Anyhoo, the BBPA put the responded to the article with this statement:
"Today's reports suggesting that a pint of ale contains nine teaspoons of sugar are hugely wide of the mark. We are investigating where these figures came from.
"In fact, a pint of ale typically contains less than a teaspoon.
"While the total carbohydrate content might be higher, this is only because the finished beer contains other sources of carbohydrates, such as soluble fibre, which have positive health benefits.
"Most beer will have very little, if any, sugar added during the brewing process, and sugars added will almost entirely be converted into alcohol.
"As today's debate about sugar is largely a proxy for calories, it is worth remembering that beer is low in calories. A typical half a pint of bitter contains just 90 calories; that's fewer than in the same amount of orange juice, or milk.
"Also, beer typically contains a variety of vitamins and minerals. Enjoyed in moderation by those without underlying health conditions, beer can certainly be part of a healthy lifestyle."
3 Responses to Beer gets dragged into the sugar debate….
Beer is my favorite mode for adding carbohydrates to my diet.
The Daily Mail should be made to retract this stupid story and make an appology. What kind od damage to the industry has this really stupid headlines done?
You tell em! The last thing we need is more beer mis-education

About the Book
A religious cult has swept the globe. The cult demands strict adherence to its dogma. And the cult does not tolerate dissent. It is the cult of progressive environmentalism.
In his new book, In Global Warming We Trust, author Tony Sadar warns that climate science has been seized by activists who put their political agenda ahead of scientific rigor and objectivity.
Ideas have consequences. The leaders of the cult want us to spend a trillion dollars canceling the Industrial Revolution. With the backing of the United Nations, they are pushing a plan to reduce worldwide carbon emissions—a move that if successful would relegate millions of people to lifelong poverty.
Tony Sadar contends that before we turn the lights out on modernity, we need to critically examine the assumptions behind long-range climate forecasts and plans to alter the Earth's climate. He finds that today's climate science is driven more by self-righteousness than the time-tested science virtues of rigorous data, skeptical inquiry, and no-holds-barred debate.
Sadar warns that climate science has become politicized and that activists' goals interfere with scientific judgment. He calls on the science community to put an end to the unprofessional and anti-science practices of calling skeptics of a controversial theory "deniers" and "pseudoscientists." He shows that despite claims to the contrary, leading scientists do not agree on environmental policies. As an atmospheric science insider, Tony Sadar cautions that environmental policymakers place too much confidence in proxy data, computer models, and long-range climate forecasts and are too quick to accept claims that fossil fuels are inherently bad, that humans are destroying the planet, and that only immediate and drastic action can save the world.
The book concludes with a call to action--a call to restore integrity and optimism to science.

It's not even Christmas yet but that didn't stop Chris Brown from playing Santa to girlfriend Rihanna as the "Don't Judge Me" singer laced his boo with a plethora of gifts while they romanced in Germany, HollywoodLife.com is EXCLUSIVELY reporting.
"He gave her several going away presents before she left," a source tells us, adding that Chris gave her so many presents that is was hard to keep up with everything.
"She left with hella shit he copped for her."
One of the gifts in question is the enormous gold necklace Rihanna wore when she launched her new perfume Nude by Rihanna in Los Angeles on Dec. 1.
"He told me 'you better not give it away,'" Rihanna wrote on Instagram on Dec. 1,
Our sources say the couple had a "blast" while together in Germany, and that Chris already misses her.
"When she was here with him, they pretty much hung together in their room privately. They did their romantic s**t together and by themselves. That's how they both wanted it – – you know, to make the best of her time while she was visiting him."
Now that Rihanna knows Chris misses her, could she be back on her way to visit him in Belgium where he's scheduled to perform on December 5?
Only time will tell.
Chime in, HollywoodLifers. Do you think Rihanna's heading back to be with Chris?

Cell 8
Cell 8 by Roslund & Hellstrom, Quercus, $27.99
You wonder where a novel is going when chapter one has the main character locked up alone on death row.
John Meyer Frey was just seventeen years old when he was sentenced to die for the murder of his girlfriend.
He faces a very short future in a small cell in a forgotten corner of Ohio. Six years later, singer John Schwartz is arrested after assaulting a passenger on a ferry between Finland and Sweden.
Slowly links begin to emerge between the two cases. Police in Stockholm and investigators in the US uncover an incredible plot, which will put the justice system in both countries to the test.
Sweden is to crime novels what France is to cuisine and Germany is to beer, and the thrillers of Roslund & Hellstrom are among its best.
Cell 8 starts slowly, but spirals into suspense so gripping I was reading it at red lights and hoping for a traffic jam.
