I'm planning a birthday party for my 10 year old niece. (I'm her godmother and am throwing the party for her this year). She's been in a couple of drama camps this summer and really got into it. I'm contacting some local drama teachers to come lead a drama/improv party for her and her friends. Is $250 reasonable to pay for 2 teachers to come lead a party for 2 hours? I've never done this before so don't want to be cheap, or pay way more than what's normal.
I'm located in Atlanta, if that makes a difference.
Unfortunately it can be. I am a nanny and organized a party at a barn (no snacks or drinks included) and it ran $850 for 25 guests. yikes!

My favourite place in the world is on top of Blackcomb Mountain in Canada and my favourite city in the world so far is Barcelona. I love books and might be addicted to buying them. I think the PIXIES and Sigur Ros are the best bands ever but listen to most kinds of music. I enjoy live performances of anything - theatre, music festivals, ballet, dancing,... i love to see people creating and perfecting something beautiful.

I'm new to making hard cider. I have a gallon of cider that I'm letting ferment naturally with no added yeast. When it is time to bottle it, I would like to use maple syrup or honey for priming.( Since I make my own maple syrup, I have an ample supply.)
Is this practical?
How much should I use for a 1 gallon batch?
It would be interesting to use maple syrup for priming. The issue is the amount to use. When bottling a 5 gallon batch, one would typically use about 5 oz corn sugar. This translates to about 3/4 cup (I believe). Scaling that down to a gallon would give you about 2.4 Tablespoons of sugar. When you use honey, or maple syrup, you actually would use a smaller amount than you would if you were using sugar. Typically about 25% less. So, with that in mind, for one gallon of cider, primed with either hiney or maple syrup, you would only need 1.8 Tablespoons.
I hoipe this helps.
On Deck - Crabapple Wine
Secondary - Pomegranate Wine, Red Table Wine, Wild Fox Grape Wine, Blueberry Wine, Surly Furious clone
Bulk Aging - Brewtopia Barleywine, Sugar Beet Wine
I'm somewhat in the simillar situation. I have 2x 1 Gallon batches going right now however, I am using champagne yeast. I've been trying to figure out how I should prime the 1 Liter growler bottles I have. Any thoughs or suggestions?
There's a chart of amounts listed in my bottling thread. http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/bott...ml#post1114892
Like my snazzy new avatar? Get Sons of Zymurgy swag, here, and brew with the best.Revvy's one of the cool reverends. He has a Harley and a t-shirt that says on the back "If you can read this, the bitch was Raptured. - Madman
I gotta tell ya, just between us girls, that Revvy is HOT. Very tall, gorgeous grey hair and a terrific smile. He's very good looking in person, with a charismatic personality... he drives like a ****ing maniac! - YooperBrew
reubadoob, since there are 3.78 liter to a gallon, calculating that out would give you about 1 1/2 teaspoons for a 1 liter growler. Not very much, so be careful.
Thanks a bunch. I was trying to do this number crunching in a pretty large seminar haha! Thanks for helping out. Now, if only the cider would clear up...
Found this during a quick google search:http://www.howtobrew.com/section1/chapter11-4.html
For maple syrup, you should add about 1.25 ounces for a gallon. This assumes a similar sugar content to corn sugar and liquid malt extract. If it's + or - 10% from this, it will not matter.
You could check by disolving 1.25 ozs in half a pint of water and checking the gravity (corrected to 60 F). The gravity should be about 1.045. Once checked, you can boil (or pasturize at 160 F if you don't want to lose too much aroma) the half pint sample up and use it to prime the beer.
R'doob, it doesn't matter whether it is beer or cider. The yeast eat the same amount of priming sugar, and will therefore generate the same amount of CO2 and the same carbonation level in either cider or beer.
If you want more carbonation, you add more sugar; but beware, that the standard beer bottle is only designed to take standard beer carbonation levels. If you want higher carbonation levels you should use Champagne, or Belgian bottles with corks and wire, or get a keg system.

Livin' it and lovin' it.
Now that its winter, I have a lot of inner crises about whether to lounge on the couch where its warm, or to brave the cold for adventures. I do make it up the mountains for skiing or snowboarding every couple weeks. Sometimes I hit some indoor volleyball courts (sand) so I can keep up on my summer obsession. And I usually get myself to yoga on a weekly basis...its warm in there. In addition to trying to stay active, I love reading and cooking and can be frequently sighted at a pub trivia night. I absolutely love talking about books and will never ever tire of the subject. I also love travelling, and if you're a fellow travel bug, you'll know that talking about destinations, both past and future, never gets old. I'm trying hard to get into running, and am scouting around for a good race to motivate me. When it comes to running...I could use some encouragement! Oh yeah, and I will kick your ass at air hockey. I love my life and am filled with joy and gratitude every day at the thought of my family, friends, and job. I am looking for someone that I can share that joy with. Once I'm in a relationship, I am very nurturing, caring, giving, patient and loyal. Also, I love to bake and will probably be constantly feeding you treats. :)

When it's nice out my favorite place is anywhere with a patio and a happy hour! My favorite restaurant is Parisi, in north Denver. I love the Tattered Covers and will stop in one whenever I am close.
Some of the things I enjoy most are India Arie, creme brulee, the Nuggets, playing volleyball, Boondock Saints, Super Troopers, Scandinavia, dim sum, sushi, comedy clubs, Larry McMurtry, chai, Christopher Moore, and Taboo.
When I'm alone I tend to curl up with a book, but I enjoy being active with friends. I am always interested in trying new adventures.
The last book I read that was amazing was Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close. Currently I'm reading The Cellist of Sarajevo, and its pretty incredible so far.

A Credible Recapitalization of Spanish Banks Is Now Imperative

Spanish Jitters Reveal Euro's Fragility
Yields on 10-year Spanish government bonds have risen by 100 basis points since the beginning of March.

Why has confidence evaporated so quickly?
Could German Inflation Help the Euro Area to Rebalance?

Prostitution as portrayed in Pretty Woman is just about as far as you can get from the truth. Prostitution is ugly. Most of it is sex trafficking. It's intriguing to read that the movie's script originally was written as a dark, cautionary tale. That, from my perspective as a survivor, gets at the sad reality.
In the U.S., we need funding to educate young people to prevent them from becoming victims of human trafficking. We need funding to train members of our communities to recognize and respond to incidents of human trafficking. We need funding for health and social services to support the victims of human trafficking.
We may think of victims being moved across international borders and forced into abusive work conditions. What is less recognized is the other face of trafficking as it plays out right here at home. Whether we recognize it or not, children are being exploited in our own communities across the United States.

Warburton: Cuthbert right to stay
ESPN Staff
December 19, 2012
Alex Cuthbert has made a big impact for teh Blues and Wales since bursting on the scene © PA Photos
Wales captain Sam Warburton is delighted Cardiff Blues team-mate Alex Cuthbert has decided to stay in Wales.
Cuthbert, who burst onto the international scene last season, is set to sign a new three-year deal with Cardiff despite interest from a host of top clubs in Europe, including big-spending duo Toulon and Racing Metro.
"It will be great for the region and for Wales to keep hold of Alex - he's a top-class player and up there with the best in the world when he is playing well," Warburton told the South Wales Argus.
"To keep a player of his calibre is a great boost for all of the players round here and shows that the club has ambition. Cuthbert has been immense for the Blues this season and is a key player for us. He gives us go-forward, is a hell of an athlete, a good pro and trains hard. "He is always willing to learn and deserves all of the success that he has had over the past season or so."
Warburton's contract with the Blues is set to expire in 2014 and hinted he would favour staying in Wales despite of the big money available in the French Top 14.
"I've still got 18 months or so to go on my deal and I will cross that bridge when I come to it," added Warburton. "Ideally players want to stay in Wales and I am a bit of a home bird anyway - it would be nice to have my testimonial in Cardiff.
"Being brutally honest, if there wasn't money in France nobody would go there. I'd rather play somewhere I'm happy and where I am being looked after medically. Phil Davies has been great for me this season and appreciates that players need a rest so that they can keep performing well."

Last week I was in Dubai and got a chance to visit GITEX, the largest IT event in the Middle East. I was very interested and impressed to see the "Government" pod. I've participated in many IT events including biggies like Mobile World Congress, and I don't think I've ever seen a pod dedicated to governments' use of IT. But, the event in Dubai clearly was showcasing how governments were using IT to address public sector concerns. I spent time in the UAE Ministry of Public Works (MoPW) booth hearing about their "e-Project" portal, which streamlines processes such as bidding and awarding of MoPW contracts, as well as the prioritizing, managing, and launching of specific projects. The portal also facilitates the registration, licensing and evaluation of vendors. The Ministry of the Environment and Water also recently launched a new version of its Web portal, which welcomes suggestions or complaints from citizens and employees, allows for public inquiries about all conservation and environmental projection issues, enables licensing for agricultural business activity or use of pesticides, and even includes a "contact the minister" feature. I also spoke to teachers affiliated with the Dubai Ministry of Education who were thrilled to have just received new iPads from which they could take attendance, record grades and manage classroom schedules. Many ministries and government agencies from across the UAE were represented. Clearly Emirates cities understand the imperative of addressing public issues with technology solutions. As populations grow – UAE population will increase 75% between 2010 and 2050 – and development continues, Emirati governments are getting "smart."

At Forrester's recent Business Process And Application Delivery Forum, there was a very interactive session on "Using The Next-Generation PMO To Promote Innovation," led by Margo Visitacion. The premise of the session was that leading-edge PMOs (project management offices) are evolving to a more strategic role, focused on portfolio management of business investment rather than just IT projects or programs.
Many clients have suggested their PMO mission is already elevated to this level. They now focus their efforts on everything from guiding business leaders through building a business case for the investments they want to make, to guiding decision-makers through selection from the portfolio of investment proposals, to tracking benefits realization and ROI after the fact. PMOs with this kind of business-focused, strategic mission have greater business impact and are often close partners with executives leading their firm.

For those of us who following the collaboration software space, video in business has been a hot topic: We have seen year-over-year growth in videoconferencing implementations, a majority of businesses are interested in or implementing video streaming technology, and the emergence of vendors offering "YouTube for the enterprise" services that allow information workers to create and share business-related videos. What's driving all of this interest in video? From a business leader perspective, you could argue that video enables more efficient and effective communication and collaboration for increasingly distributed workforces. For rank-and-file information workers, exposure to consumer services like Skype, Facetime (the video chat capability on Apple's iPhone) and YouTube have made them comfortable with the idea of video communications, which brings me to the subject of this blog post: how is desktop videoconferencing -- communications via a video unit on the desk like a Webcam -- being adopted by businesspeople?
In our most recent survey of information workers (those who use a computer to do their job), we find that while 29% of workers use videoconferencing technology, only 15% have access to desktop video technology. The bulk of those using this tool are not the rank-and-file, but the managers and executives who have historically been the users of videoconferencing services. Considering the increasing acceptance of this more personal form of video in the consumer realm, these light adoption numbers raise the question about how this technology can spread throughout businesses. I'm currently working on a report on this very topic and I'm interested in hearing from you. Has desktop videoconferencing found its way into your business? If so, who led the charge and what was the rationale? If not, what is hindering implementation and adoption?
Let's have a conversation about this.

iPad has exploded onto the scene. Who could have imagined that a tablet (a category introduced in 2001) would capture the imagination of employees and IT alike? But it did, and it's kicked off an arms race for smart mobile devices. Every day, a new tablet appears: Cisco Cius, Dell Streak, Samsung Galaxy Tab, RIM PlayBook, HP Windows 7 Tablet, the list goes on. These post-PC devices will find a place in your company, but where?
We've had over 200 conversations with IT customers about iPads and other tablets since January. The interest is incredible. And IT is ahead of the curve on this one, determined not to be playing catchup as happened with employee and executive demand for iPhones. We talk to people every day who are deploying iPads in pilots or experiments.
In a new report for Forrester clients, we categorize the ways in which we see tablets entering the workplace:

Are you ready for Forrester's IT Forum 2011? Mark your calendars for May 25-27 in Las Vegas and June 8-10 in Barcelona — and help us design an event that is as relevant and productive for you as possible. We've come up with three potential draft themes and need your vote for the best IT Forum 2011 theme:
1. Unleash your empowered enterprise.
As technology becomes more accessible through mediums beyond IT's control, you have but one choice: Get proactive by empowering employees, or swim against the current. Successful BT leaders will react not by blocking access but by lending their expertise to increase the chances of technology success and empowering the users to solve customer and business problems. This year's IT Forum will provide a blueprint for reaping the benefits of your empowered organization — complete with case studies, methodologies, and step-by-step advice tailored to each IT role.
2. Capitalize on the intersection of business and technology.
IT leaders have long struggled to deliver business and technology alignment. But alignment implies a waterfall process: decide on a business strategy, and then build your technology on that foundation. Today, our businesses move too fast for the traditional IT model. Instead, Business Technology leaders must join the leaders of their lines of business to create business and technology strategy simultaneously. That means working with new business partners inside and outside your organization, operationalizing innovation through standards, and above all, saying, "yes, and..." instead of "yes, but..." This year, we'll dedicate IT Forum to building bridges to new business partners, scaling innovative solutions, and co-creating business and technology strategy.

What's your approach to the smart city? What's your role? Join Forrester Analysts, IT decision-makers, vendor strategists, and other Tweeters in our upcoming Smart Cities Tweet Jam – a Twitter-based dialogue about smart cities – on Tuesday, November 9th from 11:00am to 12:00pm EDT (8:00am to 9:00am PDT and 5:00 to 6:00pm CET), using the Twitter hashtag #smartcityjam. From Forrester, Doug Washburn (@dougwashburn), Usman Sindhu (@usmansindhu) and I (@jenbelissent) will be joining – and likely others. Doug and Usman have written about what "Smart Cities" mean for CIOs of all kinds – the CIO of the city, the CIO of a component city service or infrastructure, and the CIO who consumes or interfaces with smart city infrastructure. Take a look at their report, Helping CIOs Understand "Smart City" Initiatives. My upcoming report, "Capitalizing on Smart Cities," will look at opportunities for tech vendors, including a look at alternatives types of "cities" and innovative business models to increase the long-term viability of smart city initiatives. The report is not yet out, but some of the ideas have been shared in recent blog posts on the definition of a "city," new business models, and

Or maybe I should title this "When Public Sector Isn't 'Public' At All." In recent blog posts, I've written about how "cities" are not just those formed around a city hall, headed by a mayor or city council, and run by civil servants. Universities, company towns, and even amusement parks are launching innovative technology-based initiatives to address issues around transportation, public safety, administration, and even healthcare and education. However, it seems that many of the new cities being created as "smart cities" are even themselves not really cities as we know them (that's a lot of "cities" in one sentence). Are they perhaps redefining the public sector altogether?
Humor me as I ruminate on the definition of public sector. I usually think of the public sector as that which is government-owned, run by civil servants, and ultimately headed by an elected, appointed (or possibly a self-appointed) leader acting in the interests of the public or his/her constituency. Traditionally, at the core of a city is a public sector with many of these characteristics, with a mandate to provide basic infrastructure and services for the "public," known in economic parlance as "public goods." But, what if the city government itself is a private entity?

On Sunday I will be participating in IBM's Middle East and North Africa CIO Conference 2010, where I will present my research on Smart Cities. I'm looking forward to speaking with practitioners from the region to hear about their experiences in making their cities, organizations, and businesses more efficient through innovative technology-based initiatives. My presentation is entitled "Taking Lessons from Smart Cities," because the real smarts lie in how these "cities" – whatever form they take – have overcome obstacles from budget battles to stakeholder standoffs.
One aspect of those smarts lies in the business models that have enabled smart cities. With talk of municipal bankruptcy and public sector debt, it is not surprising that public sector IT decision-makers are not all that optimistic about their industry outlook. In Forrester's Forrsights Budgets And Priorities Tracker Survey, Q2 2010, only 26% of public sector IT decision-makers considered their industry outlook to be good, while 70% – the vast majority – expected a bad year. The public sector came in next to last among other industry verticals.
That same survey, however, also revealed expectations of IT spending increases in the public sector: 37% of public sector IT decision-makers expected IT budgets to grow by at least 5%; 11% expected increases of more than 10%. Some of that spending is creatively financed.
Several new business models have emerged to enable technology investment.

Like many business executives and consumers, I have been paying a lot of attention to the economic indicators, looking for signs either of a stronger economic recovery or a potential renewed recession. As a technology market analyst, I track economic indicators because I've found that the growth in the economy is one of the best predictors of what the technology market growth will be -- far better than surveying CIOs to find out their spending plans, which tend to be backward looking.
Based on my reading of the economic indicators and the forecasts of professional economists, it looks to me that both the US economy and the global economy will fall between extremes of strong growth or recession, growing weakly but not slipping back into recession. As a result, in Forrester's latest forecast (US And Global IT Market Outlook: Q3 2010), we have trimmed our forecasts for the US tech market to a still-robust 8.1% growth for 2010 (down from our 9.9% forecast in July), with 7.4% growth in 2011. Globally, the tech market measured in US dollars will grow by 7%, compared with our July forecast of 7.8%, with the somewhat weaker outlook for the US tech market offsetting slightly better performance in Europe and strong growth in Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia/Pacific.
These forecasts include business and government purchases of computer equipment, communications equipment, software, IT consulting and systems integration services, and IT outsourcing. If we add telecommunications services (as we do for the first time in this report), US information and communications technology (ICT) market growth in 2010 will be 5.6% and 6.6% in 2011.

CityOne, IBM's new Smarter City Simulation game, is interesting. But who will really play?
IBM introduced a new Smarter City Simulation game yesterday. I took a few minutes to play around with it. I love the idea. It is SimCity meets Smarter City, and together they make CityOne. Players are presented with challenges faced by decision-makers in Retail, Banking, Energy and Water industries within a city. They start with a budget for each industry. And, for each challenge, they are provided with a list of recommended actions and must choose among them. Each action has a cost and associated benefits. Some are more "right" than others, earning bonus credits and increasing customer satisfaction and other key performance indicators, as well as earning special awards. A player likely knows not to pick the "Ignore the problem" option. Yet, when in doubt you can also query a consultant for additional advice.
My sense was that the "right" answers seemed pretty obvious. However, that said, I certainly didn't get a high score. And, when I got to the end of my ten turns, I was feeling pretty overwhelmed by the issues across these industries.

THE RISE OF ANDROID: How a flailing startup became the world's biggest computing platform
Today, Android powers about 85% of all smartphones globally, while the iPhone accounts for only 11%. It's making a push into wristwatches, cars, and TVs. It's not hard to envision a time when Android will be in every single device from stove and thermostats to toothbrushes. To grab 85% of the smartphone market, Rubin had to beat the two most valuable, and profitable, technology companies of their era: Microsoft and Apple. He had to fight entrenched wireless carriers. He had to get phone makers to buy into its radical vision.

Price Info
Everton has announced it will freeze Season Ticket prices for all junior school children at just £5 per game for the third season in a row.
The Club's £95 Season Ticket has proved hugely popular since its introduction with an annual 8.22% increase in uptake from young Evertonians.
The £95 Season Ticket applies to children in Year Six (under 11) or below* in the 2014/15 season and is available for all areas of the stadium including the Family Enclosure.
Junior Season Ticket prices for children in Year Eleven (under 16) or below** in the 2014/15 season have also been frozen at £149, less than £8 per game, in the Family Enclosure and £199, just over £10 per game, throughout the remainder of the stadium.

Everton has also extended its payment plan options. In addition to an Everton MasterCard nine month interest free offer, the Club will offer supporters the opportunity of paying by Direct Debit in up to ten monthly instalments.
Chief Executive Robert Elstone said: "The combination of exciting football, great results and a fair pricing policy means we are seeing more full houses, record half season ticket sales and a healthy increase in average attendance.
"For 2014/15, it was really important that Goodison remained affordable. I am delighted to confirm a price freeze on both our junior season ticket offers and retain prices lower than they were a decade ago. I'm also pleased to be able to respond to requests from fans to extend our payment plan options and we can now allow fans to spread their season ticket cost over a 10 month period."
As in previous years, there's no booking fee for online purchases and all Season Ticket holders have the convenience of re-selling their ticket for games they are unable to attend through Stubhub, the Club's official secondary ticketing partner.
Although there is a small increase in adult and concession season ticket prices, Everton Season Tickets remain one of the most affordable in the Premier League with adult prices starting from £444.
Fans are reminded that the early bird discount for returning or renewing Season Ticket holders offers a minimum 25% saving when compared to purchasing on an individual game basis; for example an adult renewing their season ticket in the Family Enclosure in the early bird window will see an increase in their season ticket price of just over £17, less than £1 per game. There is also a 20% minimum discount for any supporter purchasing for the very first time before the early bird deadline of Tuesday April 22.
Highlights of the 2014/15 Season Ticket offer:
With Season Ticket sales going from strength to strength, most recently with a record uptake in half season tickets, 32% up on last season, supporters are encouraged to take advantage of the early bird discount and secure the best seats in the house for what promises to be another exciting season under Roberto Martinez.
On-sale Thursday 20th February, 2014/15 Season Tickets will be available to purchase at the Goodison Road Box Office, Everton Two, evertonfc.com and 0871 663 1878***
* A kid is defined as a person aged 10 or under on or before 01/09/2014, up to and including school Year 6.
