I think you hit the nail on the head- you don't like bitter. Those other beers you like tend to be sweeter and/or not bitter. DFH 90 isn't bitter, considering it's an IIPA.
Do you like Rogue's Dead Guy ale? It's a maibock style ale- a malt bomb in my opinion!
Might I suggest a Belgian Strong Ale like a Simcoe Smash Recipe ?
I got the idea from drinking a Simcoe Silly from Kuhnhenn's Brewery in Warren Michigan.
I can't stand pine hops. I like citrus hops the best, as long as they don't go too grapefruit. Flowery hops are okay. I believe the hop varieties you'd like best are Simcoe and Amarillo. They're both in DFH90, which is one of my faves also. I also really like Willamette hops, and seem to use them in about half my beers.
twowheeler I can relate to your dilemna. I can stand hoppy to a point. Too much hoppiness begins tasting like rotten grapefruit to me. Much cheaper to suck on a grapefruit.
As trochiest suggested, the amirrillo or simcoe hop are good ones to start with. I have gone to my local homebrew club tastings to get idea where to start and these two hops were great from home brew tastings.
My taste is where yours is and I just ordered.
Amirillo Ale-Midwest
Jamil's Evil Twin-NB
Both are amirillo hopped based to begin my hop journey.
I would say that hop bitterness is an acquired taste. After getting my start with amber ales and Sam Adams, the first Sierra Nevada Pale Ale I had was offensively bitter. These days I reach for a SNPA when I'm not in the mood for something bitter!
Same thing with coffee. I used to like flavored coffees, extra cream, extra sugar. Now I take it black, no sugar. Same with dark chocolate.
I've seen the same sort of thing play out with friends. If you care to keep trying well-hopped beers (and you should, there's such a diversity of flavor out there!), I would guess you'll find yourself enjoying hoppy beers more and more.

Pictures of Jennifer Aniston Out to Dinner With A Man in LA
Jennifer Aniston Has a Hot Summer Night Out With Another Guy
Like us on Facebook
Jennifer Aniston stepped out for dinner with a male companion at the Soho House in LA last night, and as they left she hopped into his car. The last time Jennifer was spotted at a restaurant with a guy, Chris Gartin, it sparked tons of rumors and a big hunt to figure out what is going on between the two. Her rep even shot down the romance stories, saying they've been friends for years, but that still hasn't stopped the headlines. Whoever her new date was, it's bound to start another whirlwind search for his identity and what they're doing together. No matter what the details are, Jennifer looks hot and happy as she enjoyed the warm night in West Hollywood.

George Clooney is HOT...aniston is so NOT

I agree with the comment below: Good god the women in these comments sections are horrifying. Do you treat George Clooney and his parade of 30-something women over the years the same way? It's not like she's dating some tart who is 20 years younger than her and mocking people who are married. Like Clooney, she is not married and free to do as she pleases. She can have dinners with friends, guy friends or lovers if she wants to. You're all just bitter because you don't have her freedom. Stuck at home with your dead-end jobs and non-existent boyfriends. 11 Thu, 07/15/2010 - 9:03am Report Comment

This looks like a working meeting. If they were dating don't you think he would open the door for her. Hll is probably going to be in a movie with her.

Oh god, I'm so sick of people talking about what she "needs to" do. She doesn't need to anything! And if she does, you sure as hell don't know what it is! And for the person who said: "I'm getting tired about reading about this woman and her dates.", don't read then!

@ No. 14, you can't even get the name of the guy right. So stop assuming about what goes on with her dinner date or relationship.

I think Jennifer is not different from other women who prefer to date different guys to look for a soulmate. I considered that kind of dating normal, since you will not be able to find what you are looking for if you date just one guy. However, it's not her fault to be followed all the time by paparazzi and report her every move specially when it comes to dating. She is a celebrity and her fans will be thrilled to know and see who she is dating with...except of course for the haters out there. They will always try to find a way to make her look bad whatever she does. So just let her date with anyone, this is the only way I think she can find her partner and a soulmate.

It's OK for Jen to go out with friend because she is single. But she needs to be careful not to mislead or not to be easy with her male costar like Gerald Butler, who kissed her very romantically in France and then the next day did some obscene finger behind her back. After promotion, he went on date and kissed the reporter that interviewed him during the tour. I don't even like her idea of hooking up again with John Mayer just for the convenience of having a date at the Oscar, or her short hook-up with Vince Young... All those things make her look bad and not smart. I know she is better than that. But she needs decides what she is looking for in the relationship instead of keeping hooking up with some guys.

To the person that keeps posting that Jennifer broke up Tate and Sandra Bullock, You saying it is so does not make it true. Anyone old enough to have been around at the time (not in grade school) knows that Sandra dumped Tate before Jennifer came along. Google is for your friend, use it.

yeah, as if it's SO wrong of her to date different guys. most women have done that at some point in their lives. maybe she doesn't want a relationship. maybe it's an innocent dinner date with a friend...

She is directing a movie, isn't it just possible that she is putting together a cast. Regardless she is single so she can go to supper with anyone she wants.

I believe that she's with Scott Stuber who is a producer - she worked with him on The Break-Up and Love Happens. I recall the Enquirer running a story last fall that they were dating, but nothing seemed to come of it. They could be on a date, but it could just be friendly or a business dinner.

oh jen how CONVENIENT a photo op with a different man the very day it came out you are dating your best friends husband! Not hiding you head in shame this night, huh? You are so obvious. first, you started dating tate when he was still engaged to sandra bullock, and now this. yet you point fingers at your exe's partner as the reason your marriage failed, even after he told you nothing happened until after you split. How conveniently hypocritical of you!!!!

The guy she is getting in the car with is Scott Stuber - a producer on The Break-Up and Love Happens. She's known him for a while as well - hard to say if they are more than just friends or not.

#4, stop cursing her out. She's single and not married, she can do whatever she wants with her life, dates whoever she wants and etc. As long as she's happy with herself, who are we to say what she can or cannot do?

What? No Gerard Butler in sight? Funny how all her relationships end, right after the press junket for her craptacular movies are done. I'm getting tired about reading about this woman and her dates. What's wrong with her, that she can't keep up a stable relationship with one person?

Russia's continued support of Bashar Al-Assad has provoked a chorus of outrage from across the political spectrum – Democrats, Republicans, progressives, conservatives, almost everyone has been falling over themselves to denounce Russian perfidy in ever more hysterical terms. US ambassador to the UN Susan Rice, in particular, has been so openly acrimonious and condescending that I wouldn't be the least bit surprised to wake up tomorrow morning and read that she had labeled her Russian counterpart, Vitaly Churkin, "a real douchebag."
Of course, the critics of Russia's Syria policy have a point. Russia's continued support of Syria's embattled and bloodstained regime really is appalling and, more than that, seems to be rather pointless: it's hard to see how Assad is going to be able to hold on to power for more than another few months regardless of what happens in the UN security council.* One can, of course, note that Russia has significant long-term geopolitical interests in Syria, sizable weapons contracts and the presence of a warm-water naval base in Tartus, but these seem rather trifling and empty observations in an environment where innocent civilians are being gunned down en masse.
But what seems quite noteworthy is that many of the people who are now loudly demanding that the United States "do something" in Syria, and who are using Russia's support for Syria as proof that the Russians are little better than barbarians, were almost entirely silent in the case of a brutal and lethal crackdown on a popular protest movement in another Middle Eastern country: Bahrain.
In symmetry that seems almost too perfect, much as Syria is a significant consumer of Russian weapons and hosts a Russian naval base, Bahrain is a significant consumer of American weapons and hosts an American naval base. While it is true that the crackdown in Bahrain wasn't nearly as lethal as the ongoing crackdown in Syria, it was nonetheless exceedingly nasty and brutal with dozens of protesters killed by security forces, several tortured to death, and the creation of a general atmosphere of government impunity and terror (particularly vile was the regime's targeting of hospitals treating the wounded). Although the Bahraini government has made a big show of "reform," and in classic fashion has commissioned a report, admitted that "mistakes were made," and punished a few low-level functionaries, the government continues to brutalize protesters and has reluctantly consented to constitutional reforms that are exceedingly modest and amount to little more than a reshuffling of deck chairs.
Before proceeding further it is necessary to note that the United States is far better positioned to influence Bahrain than it is to influence Syria. Bahrain is a close ally and dependent of the United States and has long relied on American weaponry and American support to guard its security. Syria, on the other hand, has had awful relations with the United States for decades and there are no economic or security relationships to speak of. So while the presence of the Fifth Fleet gives the United States an enormous amount of leverage over Bahrain, the "levers" it has at its disposal with Syria are so weak as to be non-existent.
Having read articles from people like Leon Wieseltier, Anne Applebaum, Eliot Abrams, and David Pryce-Jones that either directly call for Western intervention in Syria or loudly bemoan Russian intransigence in supporting Assad (Pryce-Jones were perhaps the most colorful when he said that Sergei Lavrov is "a man as cold and mendacious as any commissar from Soviet times"), I thought I would do a little bit of digging to see how these paragons of morality in foreign policy, people who consider Russian inaction in Syria to be uniquely revolting, dealt with the brutal and violent suppression of the protests in Bahrain.
Applebaum has had almost nothing to say about the brutal crackdown in Bahrain – she mentioned it in passing in an article last February and approvingly noted that the Bahraini crown prince had been disinvited from the royal wedding in an April blog post. As best I can gather from scouring the intertubes, that's all she's had to say about it, it just apparently is not a topic that interests her despite her history of deep involvement with and advocacy of democracy promotion.
Leon Wieseltier, as best I can gather, has said nothing about Bahrain, though it is possible that he addressed the topic in an off the record lecture he gave in December. Wieseltier, even by the standards of political pundits, is known for his loquaciousness and he hasn't exactly been shy about expressing his opinions on other issues, as a quick glance at his writing on Libya clearly so clearly demonstrates, so his silence is all the more baffling.**
Pryce-Jones has mentioned Bahrain several times but hasn't had anything substantive to say, though I will give him credit for criticizing the Iranians for their hypocrisy on the matter. You see those dastardly Persians objected to the treatment of protesters in Bahrain even though they themselves have committed similar crimes. Can you imagine the nerve it takes to do something like that?
Unlike the others, Abrams, at least, saw fit to go into a fair bit of detail about Bahrain, writing numerous posts about the crackdown, including one that bemoaned the Obama administration's gross hypocrisy. However, as best I can tell, Abrams didn't really advocate doing anything. The harshest language he was able to summon wasn't even about the murder of dozens of peaceful protesters, but about the shabby treatment of an American diplomat, treatment he said should "have us thinking out loud about the future of the Fifth Fleet headquarters in Bahrain." On the spectrum of action and inaction "thinking out loud" is, of course, far closer to "doing nothing" than it is to "starting a war."
Abrams position is perfectly in keeping with the way in which interventionists attempt to deflect the inevitable accusations of hypocrisy: he doesn't actually defend the actions of the Bahraini government (to do so would be in decidedly bad taste) but he also doesn't propose any concrete actions. The United States should fret and frown, and maybe even have the State Department release a very stern and strongly-worded statement to the press, but certainly shouldn't do anything rash like providing armaments to the opposition much less starting a campaign of "targeted air strikes."
Compare the antiseptic, anodyne, and almost pro-forma descriptions of Bahrain with just some of what has been said about Syria. Here's Pryce-Jones:
"To arm the Free Syrian Army is self-defense, as it may be the only measure still available to prevent the Syrian civil war from swelling and bursting from a regional issue into an international crisis."
And here's Abrams:
The key issue in Syria today is who will win — our side or the opposing side, which is a real axis of evil. This isn't about the exact confessional balance of those opposing Assad, or the exact provisions of the next Syrian constitution. All those questions will come with victory against the bad guys — but only with victory.
And here's Wieseltier:
We should aid and arm the Free Syrian Army, perhaps with the Saudis and the Qataris and Obama's regional idol Erdogan, and offer protection to the parts of the country that they control. We should immiserate the Assad regime economically and banish it to a North Korean purgatory diplomatically. Like the army proposed by the Pentagon, we must be "agile, flexible and ready for the full range of contingencies."

Compost Juniper
I am trying to break down a large amount of wood from juniper shrubs that, even after years, seems to be resisting decay much more so than other types of wood we have present. As an experiment, I put some of it in two different holes that are about 2 feet deep and 3 feet wide (I need to fill the holes in anyway), threw on some old nitrogen fertilizer and topped with some green vines and weeds I just pulled. The piles are loosely stacked so a fair amount of air should still be getting in. The piles are near the edge of the woods and get maybe a few hours of direct sun and otherwise are in light that is filtered by the forest canopy. Other juniper clippings are still scattered in the woods where they were illegally dumped and are also resisting decay but are in bits too numerous and small to bother picking up.
Any thoughts on whether my experiment will speed things up or what to do to speed things up would be appreciated.
Although you probably have a different species of Juniper than we have here in the "Pinion Juniper Forest", I believe one characteristic of the genus is its ability to resist rot and decay. Here, they use the wood as fence posts, and I have some that are at least 60 years old. They often outlast chemically treated pine fence posts. I also use the bark as a mulch since it takes forever to break down.
To break down the chips and bark, mix it up with all kinds of other compostable material - even still, it may well take a few years. I also have heaped up the branches, let them dry out completely, then stomped on the dry stuff to get the dried greenery off the twigs. The left over, larger sticks get burned in my wood stove. Makes a quick, hot fire for cold mornings that will warm in the day, like now.
If you are talking about Juniperus virginiana, you know now why the common name is eastern red cedar. Though not a true cedar, its wood will behave like it (resist rot). Like any other organic material, though, it will break down eventually and the more idylic the composting evironment the better. What kind of "old nitrogen fertilizer" was it? The reason I ask is because synthetic ferts contain salts which don't help the bio bugs. Yes, its better than no nitrogen but not the best choice.
The fertilizer was lawn fertilizer that was at least a few years old that I inherited from ma and pa. Other than that, I can't give exact N-P-K numbers because the bag was too messed up to read that part. I am not sure of the juniper species but they are a very common landscaping shrub around here (suburban, NY). You are certainly right that the wood resists rot, some of it is several years old and still is not mushy at all - no noticeable fungi or insect holes either. Other types of wood in the area succumb to decay much quicker. One time about two years ago I tried yeast and sugar water to try and speed things up but with no noticeable effect.
Thanks for the info.
I've had eastern RC chopped very fine(1/4") for a year, mixed with cattle manure and lots of grass greens. About a 1-2 c/n ratio. It hasn't composted very much in that time. Funny though, If I was to use them for fence posts they don't last that long.
I've had very good luck composting such woods in my worm bin. The juniper we have here will stay on the ground in the woods for years, and still be quite sturdy, but in the moist, microbiologically active worm bin, the twigs, small branches and leaves decompose in a few months to a year. I don't shred them, but try to keep the length under a few inches when I put them in. I believe a key element of my worm bin activity is that I use nitrogen fertilizer over my very heavy carbon inputs (lots of paper, wood twigs, etc.). Like some commercial worm operations I've seen, I use urea (46-0-0) pellets in the bin, about 5 ounces/cubic foot of material when I put the materials in. The added nitrogen really gets things rotting.
On a related note, why not just leave the juniper cuttings on the forest floor? The only ones I remove are from trees I need to cut, and remove the debris. I would think the cuttings on the forest floor will add to the natural floor, and eventually rot without you having to worry about anything. The extra organic material input can help the soil, and naturally recycle the material.
Thanks for the info Renais.
The reason I don't just leave it on the forest floor is that the juniper clippings are numerous and were illegally dumped on us. The forest and the adjacent wetlands have a limit to how much matter they can absorb without becoming a de facto green waste landfill. This is one of those rare instances of too much organic matter.

Even at 50 years old, Harriet can rankle readers. All students of children's literature (in fact anyone interested in children's literature) should meet her — even those who first encountered Harriet when they were children.
The 1960s were turbulent; change was everywhere — including in books for children. First published in 1964, Harriet the Spy marked a sea change in the direction of juvenile fiction. Some people loved it, others had an equally strong and opposite reaction to the book.
So the woman who runs my local children's book store told me that more and more parents of young children are asking for "nonfiction beginning readers" because "that's what Common Core wants." Really? In kindergarten and first grade? Aren't beginning readers supposed to develop their decoding and word recognition by reading simple stories (the ones populated by talking pigs).
Russell Freedman was raised by parents who were involved with books and authors, so perhaps it is not surprising that he was attracted to writing. It is fortunate for readers of all ages that he was ultimately drawn to it as a full-time career.
The " Notable Children's Recordings" for 2015 are out from the American Library Association that can boost learning for children who struggle to read traditional books in print or inaccessible digital text formats.
On the Little Journey, both Avery and Janet had a special interest in schools where Laura studied or taught since Avery has always loved to play school and Janet has taught students at all levels — from early elementary to graduate school. Janet writes below about the striking differences and not so surprising similarities we found between the schoolhouses in De Smet and those of today.
I read a statement on a publisher's blog that resonated with me: "Black History is American History." (The publisher is Lee & Low, a press known for publishing diverse books.)
I've written about this before and still believe that the sooner we get rid of hyphenated Americans, the better off we'll be, able to have fuller discussions and let readers of all ages revel in the diversity that is us.
Laura Ingalls was born on February 7, 1867 outside of Pepin, Wisconsin. We started our Little Journey there and have visited other places Laura lived, but we'd not yet set foot in an actual building inhabited by the Ingalls.
Our last day in De Smet, South Dakota, we made our way to the Laura Ingalls Wilder Historic Homes to change that.
The Newbery and Caldecott (and other Youth Media Awards) were announced yesterday in Chicago at the midwinter conference of the American Library Association. This year's Caldecott honorees (gold and silver both) remind me that these books are for a wide range of readers, potentially children up to and including age 14.
Students who use a device to support their access to the curriculum often struggle because assistive technology (AT) can make them feel different from their peers.
At a recent conference, I had the chance to meet Elizabeth Rusch, the author of several of "Scientists in the Field" series (a consistently excellent series) — and discovered that I knew many of her other books. They range from picture books to narrative nonfiction with lots in between. I was intrigued and wanted to ask her more questions than time allowed.
So Liz Rusch agreed to an interview. Not surprisingly, she takes her work very seriously. What shines through with all of her well researched work is a respect for the subjects — and for readers.

The peacemakers
In many cities, police refer feuding neighbors to mediation services.
Ramsey, Coon Rapids, Fridley, Blaine and many other north-suburban police departments and Anoka County send them to Mediation Services for Anoka County, which handles neighbor disputes for free. It's one of seven nonprofits certified by the state Supreme Court to resolve feuds outside of court.
Dave Bartholomay, executive director of Mediation Services for Anoka County, said last year, his nonprofit handled 228 mediations, dozens involving neighbors. "We see a lot of neighbor cases where you worry if we don't get them in and help them resolve it, where will this end up?" he said. "It's a wide range of slights that grow and grow. ... It becomes an unhealthy kind of obsession." The longer a dispute festers, the more potentially dangerous it can become, he said.
When a dispute is referred to Anoka County Mediation, both parties must agree to mediation. Both sides tell their side of the story uninterrupted to a neutral mediator. A resolution is signed by both parties, but it's not legally binding.
In one case, he said, older neighbors repeatedly had called police about a young man's bonfire parties. During mediation, the man agreed to take the party inside at 11 p.m. and the neighbors agreed to stop calling police.
"It doesn't have to be all kumbaya and skipping off together in the sunset, but it's figuring out how to be a good neighbor," said Jeanne Zimmer, executive director of Dispute Resolution Center, the nonprofit serving Ramsey, Dakota and Washington counties.
Dispute Resolution Center, which uses a sliding fee scale, handles 200 to 1,000 cases yearly. The first hurdle is convincing people they don't need a legal hammer to get results.
Cultural and value differences can play a role in neighbor disputes. Zimmer recalled a dispute between a gay couple and straight couple. The neighbors had defined the rift as being about parking and noise, but later revealed some underlying judgments about lifestyle.
"You can still be a good neighbor even if you have very different ways of seeing the world," she said.
Estranged strangers
Disputes tend to surge in the summer months, said Beth Bailey, executive director of Community Mediation & Restorative Services in New Hope, which serves 40 suburban cities in Hennepin County. Her organization has contracts with its cities and does not charge neighbors.
Bailey said another key factor is that people are less likely to know their neighbors now.
"We pull into our garage and close it behind us," she said. "We tend to not interact with our neighbors. People are more inclined to call the police if they don't know anything about their neighbors."

New experience reveals village life
Stories from across 500 years of Suffolk history form a major new visitor experience, which is now open at Lavenham Guildhall. Real life characters are used to tell the story of Lavenham and its Guildhall from the boom of the medieval cloth trade to modern day.
Conserving a Folly
The Gothic Tower at Wimpole has been off limits since 2005 due to the fragile nature of the structure. Now, in what is by far the biggest conservation project at Wimpole this year, work is underway to conserve and repair this amazing structure, stabilise the stonework and provide access around the exterior for visitors once more.
Anglesey's ever-evolving garden
It's not just the delicate snowdrops that are the star attraction at Anglesey Abbey, visitors are often left spellbound by the beautiful Himalayan Silver Birch grove, which has become an iconic feature of the Winter Garden. And thanks to your support, work has now started on a new project to plant 112 more trees to extend and safeguard this plantation for the future.
Work begins on Blickling's Walled Garden
Of the 140 walled gardens looked after by the National Trust, 30 have been restored to their former glory, but many others still need saving! One of those is in Norfolk and we're pleased to report that thanks to your support, work has now started on the regeneration of Blickling's disused walled garden.
Record breaking season for seals
Back in 2001, just 25 seal pups were born at Blakeney Point. This winter, over 2,426 have been born making this stretch of Norfolk Coast home to the largest colony of grey seals on the English coast!
Life below stairs at Anglesey Abbey
Every year thousands of visitors enjoy Anglesey Abbey and the elegant contents once owned by the 1st Lord Fairhaven. Now visitor can also experience the domestic areas of the house and find out more about the hard work that went on behind the scenes to maintain Lord's luxurious, regimented lifestyle.
Water level restored in Oxburgh's moat
Did you know that the moat at Oxburgh Hall in Norfolk helps to keep the building standing? A project has just been completed to restore the water levels in the moat, which protects the foundations of the Hall and has helped to keep it standing for more than 500 years.
Emperor busts back on display
They were the most powerful men of their day – some known for their strong leadership and military adventures, some for their cruelty and wild debauchery. Now, after an absence of more than 60 years, four 17th century Italian busts of Roman emperors have returned to Wimpole Hall.
Norfolk coast recovering a year after storms
Coastal sites we look after in north Norfolk were some of the worst affected by the 2013/14 winter storms, but a year on, thanks to hard work and collaboration, a huge amount has already been achieved.
Fancy staying at Thorington Hall?
Thorington Hall in Suffolk is a hidden hideaway, set within a landscape timelessly evoked in John Constable's paintings. Not only is it full of charm and history, it's the newest and largest holiday let to be tastefully restored and opened by the National Trust, sleeping up to 18 people (with 3 additional people in the former gate lodge)!
Melford's long-lost owner is found
Melford Hall in Suffolk has finally unearthed a portrait of its long-lost owner – largely thanks to a mysterious little red bag. The painting in question was thought for 200 years to be a 17th century Archbishop of York, but experts have now discovered it is in fact Thomas Savage.
Future of Orford Ness lighthouse
Orford Ness National Nature Reserve has been owned and cared for by the National Trust since 1993. At no time has the Trust owned the lighthouse on the site and whilst we care for the Orford Ness landscape, Natural England holds the authority for determining permissions on any coastal defence work.

Our special coverage of the closest race for years
Explore the personal stories of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
24 Jan 2012 15:54 GMT | Humanitarian crises, Europe, Italy
Divers have found another body inside the stricken Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia, bringing the official death toll to 16 as salvage crews prepared to pump 2,380 tonnes of fuel from its tanks.
The body was found on the third deck, where some of the 114,500-tonne vessel's lifeboats were located, with rescuers declining to give further details.
As navy divers blew a new hole in the ship on the third deck, to aid rescuers searching for 16 people still missing after the crash, a large pontoon with a barge attached could be seen operating near the vessel.
Emergency workers had pulled the bodies of two women from the wreck on Monday, saying that they were found near the luxury liner's internet cafe.
Italian Maria D'Introno, 30, identified late on Monday, was on the cruise with her husband and in-laws, who were celebrating their 50th wedding anniversary. They were just settling down for dinner when the accident happened.
Too scared to throw herself into the sea along with the others despite having a life jacket, D'Introno stayed on the sinking ship as it keeled over after running aground on January 13.
Other victims include Hungarian Sandor Feher, 42, who helped children into a lifeboat before heading back towards his cabin to get his violin, and Frenchman Francis Servel, 71, who gave his wife his lifejacket. She survived.
Salvage works
Meanwhile, crews from Dutch company Smit Salvage, on the Tuscan island of Giglio, were looking for the best way to access the Costa Concordia's 23 fuel tanks before syphoning the oil out of the ship beached on the rocky shoreline.
"The company's divers will carry out underwater operations which will probably take two days," said Claudio Chiavacci, who is co-ordinating joint operations by salvage workers and rescuers searching for missing people.
The Costa Concordia went down on January 13 with 4,229 people on board. It emerged on Tuesday that Italian prosecutors were looking into the cruise ship operator's possible role in the wreck and reports of a chaotic evacuation.
"The employer is the guarantor and is responsible. We have to look at the choices made by the operator," Beniamino Deidda, chief prosecutor for the region where the disaster occurred, was quoted by Italian media as saying.
"For now the attention has been on the fault of the captain, who turned out to be tragically incompetent. But who chooses the captain?"
The prosecutor also pointed to multiple problems with the evacuation, including a lack of preparation for the emergency among crew members.
'Looking for a scapegoat'
Captain Francesco Schettino is under house arrest, accused of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship.
His wife said in an interview published on Tuesday that she was outraged over the way her husband had been portrayed by the media.
"My husband is at the centre of an unprecedented media storm," Schettino's wife, Fabiola Rossi, told French magazine Paris Match.
"I cannot think of any other naval or air tragedy in which the responsible party was treated with such violence ... This is a man hunt, people are looking for a scapegoat, a monster."
The head of Italy's civil protection agency, Franco Gabrielli, said the salvage workers were likely to begin syphoning off the oil by Saturday, and would start by emptying six large tanks holding half of the ship's oil.
The coastguard has said that emptying the fuel tanks will take weeks.
Smit will carry out a so-called "hot-tapping" operation, which involves pumping the fuel out into a nearby ship and replacing it with water so as not to affect the ship's balance and stop it from slipping into the open sea.
The race is now on to empty the ship's fuel tanks, as environmentalists warn that an oil spill would be a catastrophe in Europe's biggest marine sanctuary.

With 24 people still missing after fatal accident off Italy's Tuscany coast, rescuers continue searching for survivors.

Birdman & Rick Ross - Pop That Pu**y
Artist: Birdman & Rick Ross
Featuring: Baby aka Birdman, Rick Ross
Producer: Uncredited
Album: The H: The Lost Album, Vol. 1
Avg Rating: 1.9 ( 8 votes )
Back in 2008, Rick Ross and Birdman stepped into the studio to record an album together. Though the extensive sessions yielded plenty of material, none of the tracks have officially seen the light of day… until now. Fresh off the surprise announcement that they'd be releasing the set as a free mixtape next week, the collaborators are giving us our first taste of the project in the form of new single Pop That P**sy. Despite what the title and chorus might suggest, the bars Baby and Rozay deliver over an uncredited producer's street boardwork are only tangentially about the female anatomy; the real topic is—what else?—big money, and the lavish lifestyle it enables the rap moguls to enjoy. Does this joint lend credence to Ross' assertion that the long-lost LP is a "classic"? If you think so, then you'll most definitely want to cop The H: The Lost Album, Vol. 1 when it hits the 'net next Thursday, May 23.

Recent Regal Oaks Reviews
Excellent Location
We stayed in this unit last month. The townhouse was very clean, quiet and well-maintained. The kitchen was well-equipped. The location is very close to Disney World, ESPN World Sport Center and other amusement parks. We had a wonderful experience and we will definitely recommend this unit to our friends.
Roomy and conviently located
The condo was perfect for our family's trip to Disney. Very roomy, clean and had the amenities that were important to me. Traveling with a 1 year old, having a high chair, baby bed and stroller available was very helpful. The property was also very convient to the all of the Disney parks. Being within a 10 minute drive to any location on the Disney campus was wonderful. Overall a great experience for our trip. Communication with the owner was excellent. Mary always provided information and updates for me that was very much appreciated. I had a peace of mind because she was always available and responsive to my inquiries. I will definetly be in contact the next time I return to the Orlando area.
Nice property super close to Disney
My large family found this to be the perfect place for our first visit to Orlando and Disney. It was roomy and had all of the space we needed. It took only minutes to go to and from all of the Disney locations, easy on and off the highways, and not too far from the airport. We also appreciated it being so close to many restaurants, grocery stores, and tourists shops yet set back in a quiet neighborhood. It was spotless and exactly what we were expecting based on the online rental. In addition, it was easy to rent the property via email and online. Thanks for being awesome!

Suggestion For Microwave Control Panel With Saw Dust Inside?
meme1November 30, 2013
I had a cabinet replaced yesterday to fit a microwave/convection oven with a touch sensor screen. From above eye level I can see there is saw dust / wood particles in the clock panel. Dose anyone have any suggestions on how to remove the saw dust or know how it is done? I will contact the manufacturer, but
am concerned the saw dust / particles will damage the control panel.
Thank you!

Do you have a keyboard cleaning kit for your vacuum cleaner or shop vac? If not, get one. They're really useful for all kinds of small cracks and crevices.

Dividing Bowles Golden Carex?
kimka(Zone 6B)April 20, 2012
Does anyone have experience with dividing Bowles Golden Carez? How small a piece can I take (how much root does the division have to have?
Or can you plant this carex from seed and how do I save seed from it. My one is in "bloom" right now, but I'm not sure how to gather the seed.

It's a presidential primary as docu-comedy. Some talking jumping beans mount the debate stages and the talk shows and tell us, one after the other, that he or she must be out next president if the Republic is to be saved. Begging the question, from what exactly?

The structure of the Earth's crust is constantly changing and the rocks making up the crust must deform to accommodate these changes. Rock deformation occurs over many scales ranging from individual mineral grains to mountain belts. This course deals with the geometric description of structures, stress and strain analysis, deformation mechanisms in rocks, and the large scale forces responsible for crustal deformation. The laboratories cover geologic maps and cross sections, folds and faults, stereonet analysis, field techniques, strain, and stress.
Class Format: lecture/discussion, three hours per week; laboratory, three hours per week
Requirements/Evaluation: evaluation will be based on weekly laboratory exercises, problem sets, a midterm exam, and a final exam; many of the labs and problem sets use geometry, algebra, and several projection techniques to solve common problems in structural geology

John M. Biers, Dow Jones Newswires
NEW YORK -- Crude oil futures rose Tuesday on renewed tensions in the Middle East and on expectations for stronger economic growth due to rebuilding from Hurricane Sandy. But the gains were capped by the looming U.S. presidential election.
Nymex crude futures for front-month delivery in December were up 62 cents, or 0.7%, to $86.27 per barrel. Brent oil futures were up $1.17, or 1.1%, to $108.90.
Market participants have said they don't expect significant moves in markets until after Tuesday's U.S. presidential election.
Tuesday's rise in oil followed a rally Monday afternoon--especially in Brent--on headlines that two Saudi Arabian guards had been killed during a conflict with suspected al Qaeda militants on the Yemen-Saudi border, said JBC Energy in a research note. Crude was also supported Monday by news of tension between the U.N.'s atomic energy watchdog and Iran.
Carl Larry, president of trading-advisory firm Oil Outlooks and Opinions in New York, said crude oil was also picking up support in anticipation of stronger economic activity in the Northeast due to the recovery from Hurricane Sandy.
Some analysts have said Sandy has resulted in "demand destruction," or lost petroleum consumption due to less driving and other economic activity. But Mr. Larry said rebuilding from Sandy will add momentum to the strong jobs report seen last week.
"The demand here is going to be increased, not decreased," he said. "Reconstruction of the East Coast is going to be a major driving factor of oil prices."
Monday's rally came on the heels of a fairly steady retreat in oil prices the last six weeks or so that has seen the commodity fall from the $95–$100 range to the $85 range. Ray Carbone, president of Paramount Options, said the market may have oversold itself prior to the recent rally.
"$85 is a good level of support," Mr. Carbone said.
The rise Tuesday comes in spite of continued questions about the well-being of the euro zone due to the lack of a clear solution to the Greek debt problem. Also depressing prices: extra oil supply on the market from the closure of the 238,000-bpd Phillips 66 refinery in New Jersey, which is expected to be down for another two to three weeks due to damage from the hurricane.

- Nolli Plan
The downtown is made of skyscrapers as the dominant type, leading to decreased development in Downtown.
- Section
The committee decided to divide the skyscraper into cluster of spaces. Similiar to the Nolli plan of downtown where singular space is divided by streets, in skyscraper the space is divided by atrium.
- External View
The location of the programmatic components is chosen so that the dominant elements already on the site, the California offi ce tower and the residential , are incorporated into the system,
- Floor Plan_Ground Level
On ground level, The site is activated through the release of the ground level for the participation of adjacent diverse building block users. The plaza is not enclosed but ciruculated by the programmatic components above.
- Floor Plan_Level 3
On the 3rd level, the adjacent residential space is seen as a larger dominant programmatic block.It is welcomed by the introduction of plaza as a space of transition.
- Floor Plan_Elevated Plaza
Above it, the california plaza becomes another dominant block that is gathered into the site to feed into the elevated plaza.
- Plaza Atrium
This space becomes a congregational as all atria are directed towards this space. This space will hold event such as theatre and concert so that people allocated inside and adjacent to the space would enjoy the space collectivel
- Office Atrium
As this happen, the permeability of the space allow views to be shared with the plaza.As a person is viewing from the stair next to his offi ce the views are shared between the person in his offi ce and the shopper at the retail space.
- Residential Atrium
As all the residential space is located around the circumferance of the skyscraper, the residential atrium is smaller in size so that multiple residential atrium can act as multiple lightwell bringing light into the retail and plaza atrium.

If you're a blogger you must be able to relate to me right now. I'm overwhelmed! I've been sitting here for the past few hours sorting through lists and lists of things that I need to post on decor8 because I've been finding so much over the past few months during my travels and have no clue where to begin now that I'm back in the office. I have over a thousand business cards that I've collected from all of the lovely readers and new friends that I met while in America, England and the Netherlands and I just don't know where to begin though I found that the best way is to simply start somewhere… One post leads to two and so on. So! Let's talk about a gorgeous magazine that has the web a-buzz lately… Heart Home!
Oh, but first I have something to share. I recently interviewed a designer and she asked if I ever run out of things to post about on decor8 and I answered so quickly I giggled a bit because "NO!" escaped me before the question was fully out of her mouth. Like I said earlier, there is just SO MUCH out there to see and explore and experience, I can't imagine ever running out of content as I'm sure many of you can relate. Sometimes I'll comb through my archives to review some of my past finds and I'm always amazed as the sheer talent that exists, the people I've met, the places I've visited, and just how lucky we all are to be living during a time when there is so much artistic and creative expression to be seen, on a global scale, that we can witness daily online. As I look through all of the wonderful things on my lists that I have yet to write about, I'm so happy that I have a job like this. I much rather be overwhelmed by finding too much than from finding not enough.
But back to Heart Home. Oh my goodness… speaking of inspiring content, you have to check out this newly launched UK-based digital shelter magazine. Founded by my friends and fellow bloggers Arianna Trapani, Carole King and Daniel Nelson, together they have created such a beautiful publication with a focus solely on homes in the UK making this magazine the first of its kind! The concept is brilliant and I'll certainly tune in to this quarterly online publication regularly to see what properties they've scouted and styled, and who they're profiling in the world of UK design next.
I'd like to add that I'm honored that they devoted two pages of their premiere issue to me and my book (see above). It was quite nice of them to do that! You can read an interview that they had with me here as well that is a bit of an extended version of the article.
I loved seeing the home of Jeska Hearne from Lobster & Swan (images above) and her feminine home. I'm a huge fan of hers so it was such a treat to peek into her personal space and to read about her inspirations. Here are a few more favorite peeks from the homes of others featured in the premiere issue of Heart Home…
I can't wait to see the next issue of Heart Home – way to go Ari, Daniel and Carole! Woot woot!
(images from heart home)
Hello everyone! I'm back! I'm back! It feels so great to be seated here before my laptop talking to you again. I've missed decor8 so much and though I've loved having some space away from blogging to meet lots of you in person during my book tour, I love getting back to my bloggy roots writing once again – it feels really good. My book tour has wrapped up in the US and UK, so I'm home now and don't plan to do any more book-related events again until mid November in Germany but that won't keep me away from the blog so you'll have me front and center again for a long time. :) Yay – I've missed you but decor8 is back in action!
Over the next few weeks I will share some highlights from the road, namely the people that I met who either make something that caught my eye or who simply said or did something that stuck with me. One of those inspiring peeps is illustrator and textile designer Sarah Jane. I met Sarah at The Creative Connection in St. Paul and found her sweet characters to be most charming. She JUST finished a children's book which published a few days ago with Harper Collins, so you can imagine her excitement. She also has a small line of pretty fabrics and an etsy shop where we sells prints, cards and other things that both children and their parents love.
If you like what you see above, you may be interested in learning more about Sarah Jane… if that's the case, you may visit her blog, etsy shop or find her new book here.

I'm always up for new, inspiring content in any format I can get my hands (or eyes!) on, so when I heard about Styled, a digital magazine founded and produced by bay area blogger Victoria Hudgins from A Subtle Revelry my ears tingled! On Wednesday, September 7th (that's tomorrow!) she will launch issue #2 of her magazine which will focus primarily on entertaining and DIY projects around the theme of Autumn merrymaking.
Styled is a collaborative project where Victoria rounds up her favorite bloggers to produce exclusive content which is good to hear because we all know how boring it is to see something repeating itself again and again in a magazine or book that has already been online. There is no originality in that and I like that Victoria has a genuine passion for bringing us something fresh and forward.
To whet your appetite today, I've shared some imagery from the last issue in case you'd not heard of Styled before — now you'll have something to get excited about for tomorrow's launch of issue #2! It will be brand new and fab, I'm sure!
Watch this link tomorrow for the debut of her Autumn issue. The link will take you to the current one today but come Wednesday, it's all about Fall, baby!

I love New York! I know, I know… everyone says that but it's so true. For me though it goes beyond the extraordinary city itself — I think the people make it so special. My final stop was in the big apple on my US Book Tour for Decorate sponsored by Chronicle Books and Anthropologie and it was a m a z i n g. I saw so many dear readers and online friends, it was such a great evening! I have to thank my special guests, Marcia & Paul Zia Priven. I also want to thank Vicente Wolf for stopping by, it was so nice to see him!
Barb Blair from Knack Studios
I was flattered beyond words that the event was packed – for an author doing a book signing… that's the ultimate and especially since I went through so much to be there between canceled flights and trains due to the hurricane. Having a full house was confirmation that my efforts paid off beyond my expectations so THANK YOU New York City for welcoming me with a giant hug and for supporting Decorate.

I can't wait to return to NYC in the future to see everyone again!
A special thanks to Michelle Verdugo for planning a special night out after the event at both The Yard followed by Lucky Strike (loved!). Also a big hug to Nichole Robertson, Michelle Ward, Michele Varian, Amy Atlas, Christina Batch-Lee, Elizabeth Bauer (her home is in the book!), Brooke Hagel and the many, many others who were so extra sweet to me and went out of their way to make me feel at home.
WHAT AN AMAZING BOOK TOUR IN THE USA! I'm so happy that I had to chance to be sponsored by Chronicle and Anthropologie to do this – a real dream come true. Meeting everyone in Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, LA, Philly and NYC was an honor. xoxo
BY THE WAY: My white balance was off – my hair is not green, I swear! xo
