The liberal arts educational system is under attack. Governors in Texas, Florida, and North Carolina have announced that they will not spend taxpayer money subsidizing the liberal arts. Majors like English and history - which were once very popular and highly respected - are in steep decline, and President Obama has recently advised students to keep in mind that technical training could be more valuable than a degree in art history when deciding on an educational path.

Anyone who serves God will discover sooner or later that the great hindrances he has in the Lord's work is not others but himself. He will discover that his outward man (soul) is not in harmony with his inward man (spirit). Both tend to go toward two opposite directions from each other. He will also sense the inability of his outward man to submit to the inner control of his regenerated spirit. His greatest difficulty lies in his outward man, which hinders him from using his spirit.

I'd be interested in seeing some pix of your float switch setup. Turning on a bare element sounds like something I'd do. This looks like a cool little device, but I'm kind of hesitant to add the complexity. I also wonder if cleaning is going to be an issue.
Awesome Oracle! Love how well that center input pump works.
As for recipe scaling, I use iBrewMaster on the iPad, but any software that can scale a recipe works. If I'm brewing someone else's 5 gal recipe, I just enter it in verbatim, hit the Scale button and enter "4" (I shoot for 4 gal finished in the kettle so I've got at least 3.5 going into the fermenter). My cornies are all 3 gal so I'm guaranteed a full cornie and if there's a little more left in the fermenter, I'll bottle it.
As for a typical brewday, it's going to depend a bit on if I want to do a simple single infusion mash, step/ramp mash, or continuous mash recirculation. Assuming a simple single infusion a brew day goes basically like this:
1. Calculate full volume of water needed for brew (batch size + boil-off + grain absorption) and begin heating it in kettle. Set PID to desired strike temp +2.
2. Have a beer.
3. Add salts to MLT. As strike temp approaches, open all valves and recirculate to heat up the MLT.
4. Close MLT valve and fill to desired strike volume. Stir to cool until strike temp is reached and dough in.
5. Have a beer.
6. Set PID to 170 for mashout.
7. With 15 minutes left in mash, begin slow recirculation, balancing valves to keep at least an 1" of wort on top of grain bed.
8. Once PID recovers to 170 (typically 20-30 minutes), shut off pump allowing wort to drain to kettle. Set PID to manual mode 100%
9. Once boil achieved, begin hop additions.
10. Have a beer.
11. Clean MLT and reconfigure system for chilling.
12. With 10 minutes left in boil, begin recirculating to sterilize the chiller.
13. At flameout, add whirlpool hops and cover kettle with lid. Keep pump running.
14. Start chiller water flow.
15. Have beer.
16. Once chilled, shut off pump and raise pump bucket (or blow in return hose) to push all wort back to the kettle. Close kettle valve.
17. Prep fermenter while the break material coagulates in the kettle.
18. Rack to fermenter, pitch, etc.
19. Dump break from kettle and fill with a couple gallons of hot water and a tablespoon of PBW. Recirculate through chiller for 15 minutes.
20. Dump PBW and throughly rinse kettle. Fill with 5 gal of hot water.
21. Pump hot rinse water through chiller, dumping output into sink.
22. Disconnect everything, clean any remaining bits and put everything up for storage.
22a. Rotating the bucket horizontally above the sink a few times will help "screw out" residual rinse water, if you desire.
23. Beer time!
Many Bothans died to bring you this information.
Whats up everyone I made the below post in the Countertop Brutus picture thread and figured there may be more traffic here. I appreciate everyone's help!
"Well this may be the first of many questions as I have determined this is the exact setup I need lol. As I am gathering the pieces to put this all together, I already have a "Chillout" 10 plate chiller from homebrewstuff.com that I would like to integrate into my system. I am wondering if anyone has suggestions about how I could mount this to the bucket, and how I would set up all the plumbing and fittings (and would this actually function similar as if I had the CFC). I figure this chiller should more than suffice for 3.5g batches. By the way jkarp....this system is ingenious, thanks for sharing!"
I have done it with a shirron so it is possible. I had the shirron unmounted in a vertical position and the hoses basically kept it in place fine. I used blichman quick connects for wort in and out through the pump and used washing machine hoses for the garden hose connects for chill water on the shirron. Teflon tape on everything and it was leak free. If you use this setup I highly recommend bags for everything, hops and grain. The plate chiller will get clogged with hops and grain pretty easily with this setup. Trub and cold break are sometimes an issue as well. For this reason I ditched my plate chiller and went back to my ic. It was just too much of a hassle getting clogged and using bags for everything. I wouldn't say don't try it, but just be aware of your potential issues going forward.
HarkinBanks......thanks for the input! Maybe I will buy a CFC and safe myself the hassle.
I'm curious, since this is my first time using a pump, what the typical flow rate is that folks are getting in chill mode assuming a build almost identical to the original....

Microsoft wants Windows 10 to run on every PC worldwide, which is why they're offering it as a free upgrade to everyone running Windows 7 or 8.1. But the company's obsession with "genuine" Windows threatens to scuttle that grand plan.
It won't be in your laptop, but 10-terabyte hard drives will soon be in your datacenter servers.
Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton addressed email concerns in a statement followed by a question and answer segment with the press. We have the full video, plus analysis of her comments.
A new funding round for the converged infrastructure software and appliance company is to be pumped into a rapid expansion in 2015.

With Microsoft's Windows Server 2003's end of support date looming, will those still using the operating system decide to play custom-patch roulette?
This month's Patch Tuesday release includes three updates rated Critical, including a massive security update that fixes more than 40 flaws in Internet Explorer. A recently disclosed XSS vulnerability remains unpatched, however, and one Windows Server 2003 bug won't be fixed.
Microsoft is doing more to turn Windows Server 2016 into a 'cloud optimized server,' moving forward, officials say. Here's what that means.
The PowerEdge T630 is a powerful and highly configurable server workhorse for small to medium-sized businesses wanting to cash in on the benefits of the latest processor, memory and storage technologies.

Young People For (YP4), a program of People For the American Way Foundation, is a year-long leadership development program that helps a diverse set of student leaders turn their idealism into actions that advance social change on their campuses and in their communities. YP4 Fellows design and implement a capstone project called the Blueprint for Social Justice and work on social justice projects of their choosing. We'll be highlighting the work of some of our outstanding Fellows here.
This week, we're pleased to introduce Elena Swartz, representing Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania.
Recognizing the importance strong voter turnout in order to foster positive change in her community, Elena chose to organize a Civic Empowerment Summit at Bryn Mawr as her Blueprint for Social Justice. The summit provided information on how students can be a voice for change through vote work on campus and in their community, and was strategically planned in the spring to help students plan their voter engagement work ahead of the upcoming fall elections. During the training, Elena shared strategies for effective campus and community outreach, volunteer recruitment, data management, voter registration and more. Elena's project is so important because the right to vote is constantly under attack by those who want to disenfranchise certain groups of voters for political gain, such as students.
Across the country, states are implementing Voter ID laws that exclude student ID's from the list of acceptable forms of identification, imposing strict residency requirements to register to vote and some are even requiring college students to travel to their home precincts to vote instead of casting a ballot near their campuses. By organizing and educating her fellow students, Elena is helping to empower young people to take a stand against these measures and strengthen our fundamental rights.

We'll be highlighting the work of some of our outstanding Fellows here. This week, we're pleased to introduce Ariel Boone, representing the University of California at Berkeley.
Originally from Davis, CA, Ariel quickly became active in student government and advocacy upon arriving at Cal. She was elected to serve as a senator in the Associated Students of U.C., and also was the Internal Vice President of the largest college political party chapters in California. Her passion for the democratic process began early – she has extensive campaign experience and has been canvassing and phone-banking for various candidates for years. As an advocate, she was a co-chair of the 2011 Western Region LGBTQIA Conference and is active with the CalSERVE (Students for Equal Rights and a Valid Education) coalition, which works to promote civil rights, improve college affordability and other issues facing Cal students.
Seeking to improve fairness and transparency in government, as her Blueprint for Social Justice, Ariel wrote and introduced a bill in the Student Senate that would withdraw the Berkeley Student Government's $3.5 million treasury out of Bank of America, and encourages the University to do the same. Ariel's bill passed the Student Senate with unanimous support.
This action was prompted by the growing national effort to get major corporations to refrain from spending their vast treasuries to influence elections. Just last week, the shareholders of Bank of America called on the company to refrain from such spending and strengthen its disclosure practices. People who have a stake in Bank of America and companies like it – from shareholders to 401(k) enrollees and even students at universities like Cal – have a right to know if the corporations they invest in are using those funds to support candidates, causes or attack ads without their knowledge or approval. By withdrawing the Cal Student Government's funds from Bank of America, students are sending a powerful message: like all Americans, young people are affected by the undue influence that wealthy special interests have in our democratic system, and it is time to do something about it. Ariel's effort was echoed around the country last week, as students joined demonstrations at various Bank of America branches to add their voices to the call and telling corporations to stop spending money on politics.
You can read Ariel's article in the Daily Californian about how to enact change by making informed financial decisions here.
After weeks of reviewing applications and conducting interviews, we're pleased to announce People For the American Way Foundation's 2012-2013 Young People For (YP4) Fellowship class! From a large and diverse pool of over 450 applications, 150 dynamic progressive leaders were selected.
Young People For (YP4) is a year-long leadership development program that helps a diverse set of student leaders turn their idealism into actions that advance social change on their campuses and in their communities.YP4 develops Fellows' leadership capacity and strategic thinking through a capstone project, the Blueprint for Social Justice. YP4 helps them refine their plans, organize and network with fellow campus leaders, partners and alumni at regional trainings, through mentorship and at the National Summit.
YP4's newest class is comprised of young progressive leaders from 32 states, 76% represent communities of color, 67% are women, 21% identify as LGBT. The Fellows will begin their YP4 experience this summer at their respective Regional Training, where Fellows will meet with 30-40 other young activists and organizers from their region as well as YP4 staff and organizational partners. The regional trainings provide Fellows with the opportunity to gain expertise in the issues affecting their communities and participate in workshops designed to develop the skills they need to become leaders in the progressive movement.

We'll be highlighting the work of some of our outstanding Fellows here. This week, we're pleased to introduce Johnny Buck, representing Northwest Indian College.
Johnny Buck grew up near Priest River Dam on the Columbia River in central Washington state, and is a student at Northwest Indian College, where he focuses on environmental studies. Buck is also a George Washington University Native Political Leadership program Fellow at the Department of Education, a program designed to give young Native Americans the skills they need to be successful political leaders.
His goal is to apply what he's learned to revitalize his tribe's language and culture in the Wanapum Village and ultimately to benefit all Tribal Nations.
Young People For has been actively engaging the Native American community for several years. In 2009, Buck was a member of YP4's Tribal College Leadership Program (TCLP), which brings together 23 tribal college students showing great leadership potential and seeks to empower young Native Americans to change their communities by connecting them to the larger progressive movement.
"My community is deeply rooted in culture, language, traditions and ceremony," said Buck. "By helping to revitalize our horse culture and language, I have committed myself to the younger generations in my community."

We'll be highlighting the work of some of our outstanding Fellows here. This month, we're pleased to introduce Crystal Obiukwu, representing Ohio State University.
"My Blueprint is a program that will teach young women, specifically teens, about reproductive justice and how to advocate for reproductive justice in their communities… I want to live in a world that truly embodies progressive values. I want a country where everyone has the ability to reach their full potential. I really want a world that is democratic and people oriented.
"I've mainly been involved in the feminist community and the reproductive rights community on my campus. I am starting to get involved in anti-racist work and I've been involved with my schools Occupy movement. I feel like my life experience and my identity as a Nigerian American woman brings a new perspective. Right now my university is dealing with a lot of hate crimes and racism on campus. We had a person come to a Trayvon Martin and Shaima Alawadi vigil with a gun holster to intimidate activists, "Long Live Zimmerman" was spray painted on the Black cultural center on campus, and swastikas and the n-word were spray painted on an Obama mural in an area near students and a predominantly black neighborhood. This all happened within 48 hours. Previously an Islamaphobic ad that was funded by an extreme right-wing group was placed in our newspaper.
"Activist, students, and faculty immediately held an impromptu meeting after the 2nd hate crime had occurred. Two actions and a list of 3 demands were created. The next day we had over 200 students and activist go to the board of trustees meeting to read our demands and make them address racism on campus. Our demands were 1) have hate crime alerts go out to students so they can be informed about racism on campus, 2) have diversity be a priority at Ohio State with a diverse body of students and faculty that is representative of the country's population, and 3) inclusion not tolerance; we want a campus that is genuinely inclusive of all kinds of students. We also had a sit-in in our student union until our first demand was met.
"All of the great student activists around me who do amazing work inspire me. The fact that they can be both students and accomplish incredible things inspires me to do my best as an activist."
We're excited to announce that we are now recruiting for both our Young People For (YP4) Fellowship Program and the Front Line Leaders Academy (FLLA)!

Saint Paul City Councilman Melvin Carter and Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson
Last weekend, about 200 young, progressive elected officials gathered in Washington at the sixth annual convening of PFAW Foundation's Young Elected Officials Network. The Network, which includes over 600 state and local elected officials from across the country, honored five of its own who have done exceptional work in their communities over the past year.
City Councilman Melvin Carter of St. Paul, Minnesota was awarded the YEO Network's Barbara Jordan Leadership Award. The award, named after PFAW Foundation co-founder Barbara Jordan, honors "a young elected official who has shown dedication and support to the YEO Network and has a distinguished record of public service to their community and the progressive movement at large."
Carter, who is now the YEO Network's Minnesota state director, became involved in politics after his brother was turned away from a Florida polling place in the 2000 elections. As an elected official, he has continued to work for voting rights and for equal rights and opportunity in his community. In 2009, Carter founded the Frogtown/Summit-University Community Investment Campus, a partnership between city, county, school, and community leaders to support high quality education outcomes for all children. Another priority of his is transit equity: he's working to create opportunities for local businesses and affordable housing along a planned light rail line in St. Paul.
PFAW Foundation's president, Michael Keegan, presented the Presidential Award of Distinction to Wisconsin State Senator Chris Larson, one of the state senators who left the state this winter to try to prevent a union-busting law from being passed. Larson has been a strong voice for working people in Wisconsin and around the country.
South Dakota State Senator Angie Buhl was awarded the YEO Network Leadership Award for her deep commitment to the YEO Network and People For the American Way Foundation. Sen. Buhl, who is the youngest member of South Dakota's legislature, is a graduate of both of PFAW Foundation's youth leadership programs, Young People For and the Front Line Leaders Academy.
Florida State Representative Dwight Bullard was awarded the YEO Progressive Leadership Award for his commitment to fighting for justice and opportunity in the Florida legislature. Representative Bullard is a fierce advocate for both education and immigration reform.
Massachusetts State Representative Sean Garballey was awarded the YEO Community Service Award for his commitment to servant leadership. In 2009, Rep. Garballey donated his share of a pay increase to state legislators to charity, because he did not believe it was fair for his pay to increase while the staff that works tirelessly to support him was being forced to take furloughs. He has also been active in supporting recovery efforts in Haiti after last year's devastating earthquake.
This afternoon in El Paso, President Obama laid out his case for comprehensive immigration reform. In his speech he again expressed his disappointment in the failure of the DREAM Act, which sunk under a filibuster by Senate Republicans late last year:
And we should stop punishing innocent young people for the actions of their parents – by denying them the chance to earn an education or serve in the military. That's why we need to pass the Dream Act. Now, we passed the Dream Act through the House last year. But even though it received a majority of votes in the Senate, it was blocked when several Republicans who had previously supported the Dream Act voted no.
It was a tremendous disappointment to get so close and then see politics get in the way. And as I gave the commencement at Miami Dade, it broke my heart knowing that a number of those promising, bright students – young people who worked so hard and who speak to what's best about America – are at risk of facing the agony of deportation. These are kids who grew up in this country, love this country, and know no other place as home. The idea that we would punish them is cruel and it makes no sense. We are a better nation than that.
Illinois Senator Dick Durbin is planning to reintroduce the DREAM Act tomorrow. As the week goes on, we'll have more on the renewed effort to pass the legislation.
This past January, Young People For (YP4) convened over 250 young progressives, activists, and movement leaders from across the country for four days of dynamic skills and issue trainings during our 2011 National Summit in Washington, DC.
We were joined by Fellows from over 100 campuses in 28 states that spent the weekend building relationships with national progressive leaders, learning powerful strategies for making social change in their communities, and working on their Blueprint for Social Justice projects.
We are excited to debut our 2011 National Summit Video "Creating Change That Lasts" that provides an overview of our work as well as what Fellows experience in the YP4 Fellowship. We encourage you to share it with friends, partners, and anyone who might be interested learning more about YP4. On behalf of the entire YP4 team, thank you to our alumni, partners, and fellows who helped us make the Summit such a huge success.
Every February, People For the American Way, along with the rest of the country, celebrates Black History Month. And this year, more than ever, it's humbling to see just how far our nation has moved. And how far we still have to go.
I'm proud that People For the American Way can point to its own history to demonstrate why Black History Month is relevant to people of all backgrounds. Barbara Jordan was the first African American woman to serve in the Texas State Senate, the first African American woman to represent a southern state in Congress, and one of the founders of People For the American Way.
In 1981, when U.S. Representative Barbara Jordan joined Norman Lear to form People For the American Way, they understood that the promise of our nation, that all men (and women) are created equal, was not just unrealized, but was under active attack. But instead of focusing on what was wrong with our country, they used their powerful, utterly unique voices to speak for America's highest ideals and to push forward towards a better America.
Rep. Jordan was an energetic advocate of our Constitution's core values of fairness and equality under law. She continues to be an inspiration in our work, and it's not an exaggeration to say that it's because of leaders like Barbara Jordan that we were all able to celebrate the inauguration of President Barack Obama last month.
But still, there are those who are intent on dragging us backwards. While the inauguration was still fresh in our minds, People For was forced to lead an aggressive campaign to help confirm President Obama's Attorney General nominee, Eric Holder -- the first African American to hold the position. After eight years spent undermining the crucial work of the Department of Justice, the Right is fighting hard to prevent the new administration from truly restoring justice at the DOJ. This is why Attorney General Holder's comments about the racism in America ring true to so many of us in this constant battle against those who would turn back the clock on civil rights. And just last week we all got an ugly reminder of this pervasive racism and racial insensitivity in America when the New York Post published an offensive cartoon depicting President Obama as a chimp getting shot by two white police officers. The cartoon literally included several layers of tastelessness: the comparison of our first African American president to an ape, what could be construed as an invitation for violence against the president AND the stirring up of racial issues with law enforcement in a city that has particularly sensitive recent history in that area.
Many have pointed out that the lack of diversity in senior management and on the editorial staff of the Post was a major contributing factor to how a cartoon like that could get published in the first place. That's why I'm proud that People For and our affiliate foundation have taken so seriously our mission to help promote diversity. It can be seen very clearly in People For the American Way Foundation's leadership development programs, the Young Elected Officials Network and Young People For, which are among the most diverse programs of their kind -- ever. And it can be seen in our groundbreaking efforts to promote equality for all, like with People For Foundation's work with African American ministers to combat homophobia in the Black Church.
We're working hard to make sure that civil rights remain a top priority for this administration, and fighting against those who are intent on erecting barriers to the ballot, not to mention advocating for a more just Supreme Court, organizing for marriage equality for all and defending religious liberty by maintaining the separation between church and state.
Barbara Jordan made clear that there are certain principles that are not negotiable, values she called "indigenous to the American idea." Opportunity. Fairness. Equality under law. Those are still the values that bind our community together, and every day we're moving closer to that nation that she envisioned.
Readers of blogs like Towleroad and GayPolitics may have come across a story this week about Newark, Delaware City Councilman Ezra Temko, who pushed anti-discrimination legislation through the council, and came out in the process.
What you might not have read is that Ezra is also a graduate of People For Foundation's Young People For and Front Line Leaders Academy, and is now a member of our Young Elected Officals Network. I've had the pleasure of working with Ezra during some communications trainings in those programs, and would like to add that in addition to being a trailblazer, Ezra is also one of the nicest, most genuine guys I've gotten to know in my time at People For.
So congratulations Ezra, on bringing a little more fairness and equality to the Blue Hen State.
I think one of the most exciting things about the recent presidential election is the amazing number of Americans who have been inspired to get involved -- to work phone banks, join neighbors in door-to-door canvasses, talk to friends about why they were working so hard to achieve change. And on Election Day, we saw that all that work can not only make a difference, it can make history.
I've talked to some friends who were deeply involved in election activities and who are asking, what now? I'd like to offer you an answer.
I take seriously our responsibility to nurture progressive leaders and activists. One way People For the American Way Foundation does that is through our leadership programs like Young People For and the Young Elected Officials Network, which support and mentor outstanding college activists and young public servants. But we also want to give progressive activists of all ages and experience levels an opportunity to volunteer their time to promote constitutional values and progressive change.
We're in the process of developing a national network of Change Agents. We'll supply information and activist tools online, and connect our Change Agents from the across the country with each other. The Change Agent network will be critical in monitoring right-wing attacks on our constitutional values and promoting those same values in your communities, states and on the national level.
Stay tuned for more information in the coming weeks as the program takes shape. The Right is already gearing up to block the change that Americans voted for -- and we can't let them do it.
Even this Election Day reminded us that our constitutional ideals are never safe -- and that promoting those ideals is never a once-and-done process. The bitter defeat of marriage equality in California and the passage of other anti-gay constitutional amendments in other states made it clear that there's still plenty of work to do. But that bad news came with a silver lining. In 2000, California voters backed a ban on gay couples getting married by about 20 percent; this year, after a well-funded campaign of lies by the Right, the ban passed by only four percent. Younger and first-time voters overwhelmingly voted to uphold marriage equality, which means that if we keep pushing, victory will be in our future. I am not selling short the heartache felt by the thousands of Californians who have been denied the opportunity to marry, or the personal heartache I feel on their behalf. But the trend is positive. This is what progress looks like.
And the defeats have sparked an exciting and encouraging outpouring of grassroots action. Tomorrow, there are coordinated rallies going on all around the country in support of LGBT equality -- and in protest of Prop 8's passage. This mini-movement grew out of a few scattered protests when some energized individuals took it upon themselves to launch a web site encouraging people to organize more. Now there are rallies scheduled in cities in all 50 states!
I'll be attending the rally in Philadelphia. I hope you can show up to one near you. Find out more about where they are taking place at http://jointheimpact.wetpaint.com/.
If you do attend a rally, please take pictures and send them my way (or video, via a YouTube or other host site link) along with a note about your experience at email@example.com.
In the fight for full legal equality and on so many other fronts, whether or not we achieve real and lasting progress is up to us. In Washington, restoring the terrible damage done by the Bush administration needs to be at the top of President-elect Obama's, and the new Congress's, agenda. The fundamental constitutional principles that define us as a nation need to be restored. People For the American Way is collecting petition signatures to make sure this stays a top priority in the transition process -- things are moving fast and key staff positions and appointments are soon to be named so please add your name now.
We'll make history in the next few years, but only with the crucial participation of activists like you!
P.S. As we mourn the temporary defeat of marriage equality in California, this week we can celebrate that same-sex couples began to wed in Connecticut following the court ruling upholding marriage equality there. People For the American Way Foundation had filed an amicus brief in the case.

Should restaurants be penalised for hiking up the prices of bottled water for more than 1000 percent of the supermarket sale price? Kipp doesn't think so.
August 12, 2011 12:01 by Eva Fernandes
There was a character on BBC's excellent sketch show Goodness Gracious Me who was famous for her catch line: "I could make it at home for nothing."
The line first emerged in a skit that had an old Indian mother and housewife going out to a restaurant with her family. On seeing the extensive and expensive menu, she begins to dismiss every recommendation with the claim that she can "make it at home for nothing."
"How about some pasta" her daughter proposes helpfully.
"Pasta? I can make it at home for nothing."
Her husband and son follow shortly with their recommendations. The mother is unmoved: "I can make it at home for nothing."
That skit was the first thing Kipp thought of when we read this interesting article from The National concerning the sale of bottled water in restaurants. Out of the 60 restaurants The National surveyed, 30 were found to serve only imported water and not its cheaper local counterparts. Of those that did serve local water, it wasn't unusual to find that restaurants increased the price of water bottles by almost 1000 to 2000 percent. The National found that the average cost for local water was Dh18.6 – "almost 1,300 per cent more than the average supermarket price."
Now it really isn't breaking news that bottled water is severely marked up at local restaurants, but we were pleasantly surprised by the Minister of Economy who said the practise was illegal. Dr Hashim Al Nuaimi, the ministry's head of consumer protection, said "I am OK with a restaurant selling larger bottles of water for Dh2 or Dh3, but when they charge Dh5 for a bottle that originally costs Dh1.5, then that is completely wrong and unacceptable and actually illegal."
Now anything that cuts down the price is a welcomed change for Kipp, but if you are asking us, marked up bottled water comes with the terrain of going out to eat. Dining out is an extravagance that we all knowingly take on, despite the inflated prices. Would an espresso shot really set us back by Dh15? No, we probably could 'make it home for nothing.' Would a herbal tea really cost Dh18? Most definitely not. Give us some free hot water, a tea bag and presto: we would have 'made it at home for nothing.'
What do you think? Should restaurants be penalised for hiking up the prices more than 1000 percent of the supermarket sale price? Kipp doesn't think so. If we went down this road, what implications does this have for soft drinks, tea, and there we say, the rest of the meal?

Rated 5 out of 5 by ladolcevita clean, efficient, modern hotel This hotel is perfect for the traveler who needs a great place to sleep, be close to the airport, has no need for frills, yet wants to be comfortable. Perfect for the modern, no nonsense type of traveler. I love the streamlined, smart, highly modern feel about the hotel. Rooms have the business-minded type of traveler in mind. All fixtures were in perfect condition, I heard no outside noise, the staff was great, and I especially enjoyed the modern, hip, highly comfortable feel of the lounging area. I felt I was in a modern Swedish hotel. Very nice!! Also very convenient to the metro system to get anywhere in town. October 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by JimMartin Hotel Staff/Environment We had a great experience at ALoft - Cascade Station. The hotel was great and the room was very comfortable, great decor. The "green" status of the hotel was an added bonus. Most importantly was the warm and welcoming staff at the hotel. They made sure every request was attended to promptly. We would like to make special mention of the chef in the kitchen at breakfast. We did not ask her name, but she made sure the food was well prepared, hot and nicely presented. Kudos for that. Once again, thanks for a great stay! October 27, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by doggerk Good, straightforward hotel, but..... As one would expect with the aLoft brand, everything is solid and straightforward. The proximity to PDX airport, Cascade Station shopping, as well as the TriMet light rail line (Red Line) are all good. The only issue I have (and have had most times I've stayed here) is the slowness of the Front Desk checkin process. Especially for frequent business travellers and SPG Platinum guests, this process needs to be lightning fast and at the aLoft PDX it is not. Either there are too few staff members (at times), or there isn't enough flex in the process or staffing to deal with it when there are more than two guests ready to check in. Aggrevating. December 8, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by energywhiz Stay was Ok Arrived on shuttle from airport. Hotel is second stop for the shuttle. Front Desk clerk seemed way too interested in chatting with another staff member before bothering to assist me. Room was your standard Aloft which I generally love, but the room was dirty and the mattress creaked. I was too tired to bother to complain so I can't speak as to how Staff would have handled it. I was not thanked for being a platinum member nor told or asked about the points amenity, however it posted soon after my stay. Overall an ok hotel. January 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by PF808 Ultra-modern and Upbeat This was my first time staying at this hotel. It was recommended by my son. Initially, I was a little concern that it might be a little too high tech for me. The décor was very unique and I loved the colors and ultra-modern style. The room was clean and fresh with a lot of shelf space and power outlets, I will definitely stay at an Aloft Hotel in the future and would highly recommend it to anyone interested in an upbeat atmosphere with a change from the norm. The one drawback to this hotel was that there was not a restaurant onsite or a breakfast meal included as a part of the price. However, at this particular location, there were several restaurants within close walking distance. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. This was one of my best experiences at a hotel. June 8, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by Emyb Bed/Pool The facility is great and great location with all the shopping stores. the only thing that you can do better on would be a better cushioned bed. My back actually was bothering me from sleeping on the bed. I don't think I've had that problem staying at Westin or Sheraton. Just a suggestion. the pool should always be equipped with towels at all times. We have to ask for towels at the front desk each time we used the pool and they would only give us 2 towels at a time and there were 4 of us. February 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by mcmbam First experience with Aloft This was our first experience with Aloft - we are gold SPG members, owning multiple Starwood timeshares plus lots of experience with the varying levels of their hotels. This was an excellent experience for us and we will definitely seek out Alofts in the future. Suggestion: hotel expects too much of their front desk staff - juggling check-ins, check-outs, stocking the snack/take out area and taking food orders. Either increase staffing there or split responsibilities more. August 1, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by MtnGirlTracy Excellent Hotel right by the Portland Airport This was a perfect place to stay with a comfortable well laid out room. We got a great nights sleep with the black out shades and the bed positioned in the middle of the room rather than on a wall connected to some others room. Great staff who helped us and easy to get around. Loved the location right by Starbucks and many other shops. October 26, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Ecoast Mixed bag Never able to access wI-fi in my hotel room, during 2 days I stayed there. Was told "access point" for my room wasn't working. No radio in room, and without internet access could not listen to music, news, etc. When I asked about this, was told hotel had "different amenities" from other hotels, and that I could purchase a music package via TV! Requested a wakeup call for morning of checkout (and flight from PDX), but never received it. September 2, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tabby Great location near PDX Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very close to train station and easy access to downtown. They offer bike rental service for the guest to venture around area. Complementary beverage in the morning for Gold and Platinum Elite member. October 26, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by dfjidaho The hotel has very nice features very nice accomodations. Convenient, comfortable bed and relaxing environment. Hotel lobby concept and design supports the business person and a flexible availablity for the travelor. October 31, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by welcometreats Dog friendly We stayed in this hotel for the first time so we did not know what to expect. When the front desk staff found out that we had a pet, he gave us a dog bowl, pillow and treats. It was very welcoming. I asked the staff if I could do late checkout as a Gold, and he said yes. Not that I needed the late checkout, but I like it when the hotel can accommodate our request if needed. All dog-friendly rooms are on the first floor. The exit door from all these rooms is nearby which means if your dog needs to get out quick to potty, it is very easy to get out from the building. On Sunday morning, I took my dog to walk right across the hotel where there was a green belt. And there is a Petsmart nearby (Cascade Station) if you forgot to bring something. I have been to a few other dog-friendly hotel, and I can say that this is the best dog-friendly hotel that I have been. And there was no pet fee unlike other hotels. My recommendation is that you band together with other pet-friendly establishment in the area so that we know which shops/restaurants to visit. Thank you! October 25, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nursery1234 Great place to stay, good location We stayed three nights here on 2 different occasions in July. Both times, the staff went above and beyond the call of duty to make us feel welcome. We even got a late check out on the last day since our flight out wasn't till late at night. The room was clean and very different, but is modern. The pool and fitness center are open 24 hours which would be nice (didn't use them). They could use a hot tub. August 1, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Cary Very nice and convenient hotel! Getting to the hotel rom the airport was very easy and getting greeted with the expert staff was very nice. October 29, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by N2n2 Trying too hard not relaxing This hotel is not great for families or anyone looking for sleep or relaxation. As soon as i walked in there was loud music, unfriendly staff and overload of stimulation. Loud until after 10 and we could hear the music and voices in the courtyard past 12 am.ot conducive to sleeping. This hotel is trying too hard and missing the point June 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimwr1966 Great stay!! My friend and I came down from Seattle for the Pearl Jam concert. The hotel was awesome. The decor has great lines, the staff was wonderful and I want the squishy blue floor in the elevators. This was my first stay in an Aloft and I will look for an Aloft hotel first when planning my stay anywhere. You guys rocked it! December 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by anon227 Great location, friendly staff Conveniently located next to the airport. Even though we were only there for one night, it was a pleasure checking in and taking advantage of the amenities. January 21, 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by mbluecpa Good choice near the airport The Aloft is a good choice in a large and growing retail/office compound near the airport. Rooms and amenities at Aloft properties are fairly standard and as expected. The rooms are somewhat small but perfect for a one-night airport hotel stay. Several chain restaurants, both fast-food and sit-down, are within an easy walk. The hotel has an airport shuttle shared witih other properties that's available on-demand with 10-15 minutes' notice. Portland's MAX light rail runs fairly near to the hotel (~1/4 mile) providing access to/from downtown in a little over 30 minutes and the airport in about 5 minutes. The gym had three treadmills, a bike, a couple of elliptical machines, and a weight machine. Nothing spectacular, but it definitely met my needs and expectations. The hotel provides an amenity for Gold and Platinum guests; the front-desk agent was not aware of it but just handed me a $5 credit for food/beverage when I inquired. The hotel has free parking and occasionally advertises park, stay, and fly packages. It's also a good value on cash and points stays. February 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by SJR22 Well located PDX hotel This property is directly across the street from a nice mall with lots of restaurants, has an airport shuttle, and is one long block from the train/transit into downtown Portland. Good location, good value, nice place. October 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Familyfun Great place to stay We had a great time in Portland very easy to get around with the light rail right out the door and the staff day and night were very helpful. We will be back. Thank you August 30, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Grandkids10 The Aloft had everything we needed. The Aloft was not only a great hotel, but having shops and restaurants so close was exceptional. WE will be back and will recommend the Aloft to everyone. December 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kimberly Wonderful Stay The hotel was very comfortable. It felt secure, and the general atmosphere was warm and welcoming. February 23, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by iciego Starwood Hotels are Always the Best The quality of customer service and room were on point and as expected from a Starwood hotel. My family had a restful night and places to eat was in walking distance. The airport shuttle was always available, the drivers were courteous and the ride to the airport was about 5-10 mins. As a SPG member, I was treated with respect. I would definitely stay at another Aloft Hotel. January 12, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by jamie29 Had a great stay Love the pool table in the lobby. Great drinks at the bar. Comfortable rooms. July 17, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by fworth Staffing has slipped Client relations needs some improvement. Due to severe weather delays, I arrived 5 hrs later than expected. Person at front desk seemed annoyed that I was checking in. When I asked him to check if my loyalty account was on the reservation, he shook his head and rolled his eyes, as if I had asked him to do the impossible. The next morning aFed Ex shipment was sent to me at the hotel and I was told it had not arrived. When I provided name of the person who signed, I was told there was no one by that name working at the hotel. Finally, about half an hour later, another person at the front desk recognized the name and was able to find the package, which had been delivered hours ago. I never received a call/message alerting me the package had arrived, had I not been so persistent, I would not have received it at all. My first day at the hotel I had hung the 'do not disturb' on my door early morning, as I had a series of conference calls. The sign was removed when I left the hotel before noon, but room service never came back to clean my room. The second day I found used coffee packets in the coffee maker, which had not been cleaned. I stay at this hotel 4-5 times a year, service had always been great, but it has certainly slipped. June 29, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by McCollin Fantastic stay at Aloft Portland I was pleasantly surprised by the simplicity yet full service of the Aloft Portland. The shuttle from the airport was great. I was greeted quickly and with a friendly smile. My room was compact yet comfortable. I liked how the soap and shampoo were mounted in the shower. the bathroom sink was nice but didn't drain very well. The bar and downstairs area was very clean and enjoyable. It was conveniently located too. Ashley, in the bar was attentive and friendly. It was a very nice place overall!! I only expected that being an SPG member would get me a little better rate the the general rate but otherwise it was a great place with nice and simple amenities. April 20, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5 by Anthony86 The rooms were not up to starwoods standards The staff was friendly and helpful, but the room was just not up to the standards I have experienced at other starwoods locations. When I entered the room there was a large stain on the carpet as I opened the door. As I walked into the room there were large scuffs on the wall to the left and part of the wall had been covered with a similarly colored piece of something but did not match the paint color/wallpaper. The comforter was lumpy and had no duvet (was just placed between two sheets). As I pulled back the comforter I discovered hair. I appreciate the modern look of the design but was absolutely not satisfied with the state of my room for the rate I paid. October 1, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nick1833 Great hotel needing quality control We love Aloft but found this one had a few issues: fruit and veg quality was terrible in the cafe. Sheets in bedroom were very scratchy and rough. Hairs left on Bliss body lotion and sink. Found an adult oriented flyer on the floor by the bed (bad housekeeping and glad my 8 year old didn't find it first). Elevator was grubby. Front desk agent at check out wasn't fully trained. Her supervisor didn't provide appropriate support and also pointed to where the butter was kept in the cafe (she should walk the 5 feet from the front desk). Hotel was difficult to find from airport as no directional signs to indicate where it was. July 29, 2014
Rated 3 out of 5 by Mindsurge Great service; uncomfortable sleep The staff at the aloft was excellent -- going above and beyond to be friendly, informative of the local area and helpful. The room was clean and had all needed amenities (coffee, electical, WIFI, etc.). However, the bed was terribly hard and uncomfortable as were the spongy pillows. Didn't get much sleep due to the uncomfortable mattress/pillows. On a good note, it was very quite even though it was right next to the airport; must have great sound insulation. Bar was a bit higher for drinks than I've paid at other locations. But it is centrally located within walking distance of shopping and a good selection of restaurants. August 14, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Karen83 Excellent stay! We checked in and used the park and fly. Great program for those who are needing to leave their car and not use the airport! We have stayed here many times before but this experience was different. Never have we received service like we have this one. Winn checked us in and was extremely friendly. He made us feel like we really mattered and working in the customer industry myself I know that goes along way. Keep him around! People at the front desk in the morning were extremely nice as well; however, I was unable to get any of their names. Nonetheless, great amazing stay. Will always come back for the service that we receive from this hotel! Not ordinary service! December 30, 2012

Altissimo in NC zone 7
Has anyone had success with this rose in the middle of NC?
It's a good rose, but you may need to spray something regularly to control black spot (sulfur, copper soap, or antitranspirant--see the FAQ). Roses in large pots are generally OK in zone 7b, but an extraordinarily hard cold spell might kill the roots.
It's an awkward grower even under the best conditions. The canes are really stiff and upright and naked at the bottom. It's really best suited as a pillar type rose. And, yes, it will need spraying. That, and it's infection with RMV were why I shovelpruned it, despite it being a sentimental favorite. Altissimo provided my first blue ribbons in a rose show, and it is still a big winner in the climber class in many shows today.
Possibly Dame de Coeur, a small hybrid tea that is supposed to be disease resistant, or Ole (accent mark, I don't do floors or HTML). I haven't seen the Dame, but Patricia43 loves it, and she would be able to compare the color with Altissimo if you email her (see Antique Roses Forum). It is fragrant. Ole might be a little more orange than you want.
Dame de Coeur is beautiful, but the description I read says it turns to burgundy.
What do you think about Showbiz or Lichterloh? I would be able to find a place for these in the garden beds since they're so much smaller, so the container question isn't relevant. Just need to know if they would be good for no-spray.
Showbiz or Trumpeter would work OK if you can tolerate some spots. Both have half decent disease resistance. The polyantha Leonie Lamesch has tones of that color red in it along with oranges and salmons. It's really a bright spot in the garden that defies categorization. The Kordes shrub Bischofsstadt Paderborn is also scarlet. It's got decent disease resistance, but is slow to get started.
Michael G.,
I've always just categorized vermillion, scarlet and crimson as "red," and never took the time to find the difference. Now I see the need. (They weren't in the Crayola big pack when I was a kid.) However, even when colors are described in names I know, I discovered people don't always see things the same. And photos aren't always accurate either. Probably the safest way to be sure of the color is to see the blossom before buying.

Concert at Shush
Wantage Concert Brass in action again....
Conducted by Gareth Coulson, they opened both the first and second sessions of a Concert arranged by the Twinning Committee, held in the novel( and very pleasant and impressive) 'Shush' Night Club. A rather tight fit on the stage, but they managed!
The evening consisted of several entertainments by local singers,actors and the ever-popular Pandemonium group - but stars of the show were the German guests, who provided a fantastic demonstration of yodelling, whip cracking, and cow-bell ringing.....

I FINALLY got a digital camera!
I bought a Nikon Cool Pix P2 and it is absolutely FABULOUS! I went out and took some pictures with it today. These were taken at the Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory here in Baltimore. Not too bad for an amateur, heh?:)
I hope this link works properly!
Here is a link that might be useful: Howard P. Rawlings Conservatory
Hi grow happy,
Congratulations on your new camera! I also have a Nikon coolpix. I just love that camera! As you already know it takes excellent pictures. Those are fantastic pictures that you took in the conservatory. I really like the one of the opuntias.
The only problem with automatic cameras such as the Nikon coolpix is that the pictures can turn out rather dark if the subject is in front of a bright window. One picture in particular that I'm thinking of is the one of the appleblossom amaryllis. This is not criticism. I couldn't take that picture with my camera either without the amaryllis turning out dark. That is why I wanted to bring up the subject of picture editors. If you have something like Photoshop, you can do wonderful things to brighten up that picture. If you don't have Photoshop, there is a freeware out on the Internet called gimp that you can download. It is really a good program! I definitely recommend it.
I took the liberty of processing your picture through gimp and brightened it up a bit so that you can see what is possible. If I have your permission I could post it on this thread or I could send you a copy of what I did. Just let me know.
Again, I'm really thrilled that you have such a nice camera to play with! You are going to have so much fun with that camera!
Hey Larry,
I haven't seen you in a while, it's good to hear from you! Yes, by all means, please post your gussied up pic of the amaryllis! I can't wait to see it!
I've been playing around with some of those features tonight. Brightening dark pics, zooming in on ALL of them, sharpening others...e.t.c, with the Picture Project software that came with the camera. It's a great tool and I'm having fun learning all the techniques!
Thanks Larry,
Congrats GrowHappy.
I love the feeling of having a new camera. It's been a while for me but I remember it fondly. Taking pictures of anything that stood still long enough and even those that didn't. You got some cool pics of some nice plants. I agree with Larry if you can shell out the money get Photoshop you don't even have to get the latest one you can get 7 and do so much. You'll go crazy with all the possibilities.
Hi GH and Mr. BT,
If you don't have access to Photoshop I would really in courage you to get gimp. It is part of the gnu project and is really a good substitute for Photoshop. It has brightness/contrast along with curves and levels. I used it exclusively for working on this picture. Anyway, here is what I did:

Thank you for this excellent article. In it you state that you hold on to your stocks until there is a "dividend cut, reduction, elimination". I would appreciate if you could expand a little on this rational for when to sell. Or should this just be taken at face value as an absolute reason to sell. In terms of real world examples have you actually waited until the dividend is cut or sold into the rumors it will be cut, etc?
Thanks again and I look forward to your next piece.Jan 13, 2013. 08:50 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Program Requirements,
Information, and Resources
Greetings! On behalf of the faculty in the Department of History, I am pleased to welcome your interest in the MA in History program. I hope that our Web pages will answer many of your questions.
