Well over 900 destinations are recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Sites, and while they are all have their appeal, there are several in particular that stand above the rest. You can visit some of the most popular on a tour of Turkey, including the world famous Goreme National Park, which is home to many striking rock formations that will leave a lasting impression long after you've headed home.
The first thing you'll notice about Goreme National Park is how removed from the rest of Turkey it is. Situated in the historical region of Cappadocia, the stunning landscape of Goreme is a far cry from the bustling city streets of Istanbul. Many unique natural formations pepper the grounds of the national park, but by far its most famous features are the fairy chimney rock formations. Whittled down by time and erosion, these figures stand as a testament to the power of nature.
While the landscape is certainly a big draw, it's not the only reason to visit Goreme National Park during your tour of Turkey. This particular region of the country has been occupied as far back as the fourth century, and as a result those who settled near Goreme used its unusual landscape to their advantage. Today, you can see reminders of their presence including dwellings, churches and underground cities that were carved into the surrounding formations
Goreme is among the best UNESCO sites not only because of its landscape but also its location. Thanks to its being in Cappadocia, you can easily visit many of the other natural highlights of Turkey. For instance, after you explore Goreme, you should make the effort to check out the town of Ürgüp, which has plenty to offer in its own right. Ürgüp is a popular destination because it combines the natural appeal of Goreme with an active nightlife that befits larger cities.
Whether you're drawn to Turkey by its rich history, one-of-a-kind topography or thriving nightlife, you can't pass up the opportunity to visit Goreme, and it will certainly be one of the most memorable experiences of your time there.
The scent of rich pine forests lingers in the breeze as the 13th-century ruins of Turaida Castle are revealed before your eyes in the lush Gauja River valley in a medieval sanctuary untouched by the march of time.

Premature Babies Eventually Catch Up With Vocabulary
Filed under: In The News
But not to worry. Researchers say preemies are generally able to catch up in their ability to identify the names of things by their 16th birthdays.
There have been conflicting reports on developmental deficits among children born weeks or months before their due dates.
"This leaves one on a high note, that some of these kids do well," Gerry Taylor, a professor of pediatrics at Case Western who was not involved in the study, tells the Reuters news service.
Canadian and American researchers compared more than 300 children born early and weighing less than 3 pounds to 41 children who were born after a full-length pregnancy of 37 weeks.
In terms of what's called receptive vocabulary -- where kids are shown pictures of objects and asked to identify the correct picture for a given word -- the preemies generally caught up with everyone else by age 16.
Taylor tells Reuters premature children perform better on some tests and worse on others because the risk for brain damage when babies are born early is higher for some parts of the brain and lower for others.
"Some areas of the brain sustain more insult than others," Taylor tells Reuters.
The findings of this latest research "were encouraging, because we always focus on the negative" aspects of being born prematurely, lead researcher Thuy Mai Luu, a pediatrician and clinical researcher at Sainte-Justine University Health Center in Montreal, tells Reuters.
Luu adds that her results show that a subset of preemies performs normally on some language and problem-solving tests.
"It's amazing that even with these areas of difficulty the children are able to compensate quite well, make use of their strengths, and go on to achieve," Taylor tells Reuters.

Why nike & babolat shoes arent good
to me, nike and babolat shoes are just for the looks, they are clearly the best looking shoes out, but the main question is, are they gonna hold up? i have experience with both brand of shoes and i will tell you, i wont buy another pair again. i had the babolat propulse 2 white and i havent even had those shoes for 6 months and they were so horribly messed up. i had two huge holes in both shoes. nike shoes, ive heard that they are very snug fit, and for me i dont like tem snug fit. i had nike shoes and they were horribly messed up as well. i had one hole in the right shoe. nike an babolat srent good shoes to buy. they are also so expensive just because they have so much incorporated in the shoe. think twice the next time you buy nike or babolat shoes.
People have different opinions, but I think most Nike's are comfortable once you break them in.. I do have a medium arch though.
this is a pointless thread....
You are probably right as those brands in particular seem to sell on marketing, rather than quality.
I say probably because I refuse to buy them anymore.
'Slap 3 stripes on them and ship!'
There have been innumberable complaints about Nike shoes on this forum, but if people accept poor quality why would they improve?
Nike shoes are comfortable shoes but lack of durability. I have not wear Babolat shoes but I know people that cannot wear anything else.
this thread fails on so many levels
The complaints about Nike seem to revolve around quality of manufacture in a way that is not typical of other brands, but yes they do sell more so you'd expect more complaints.
But I do agree that people have unrealistic expectations when it comes to the durability of tennis shoes.
Previous vapors, especially the 5, were very solid. Lasted more than 2 years playing with 2 pairs almost everyday. For the new models, I really dont know, maybe it's the use of plastic or synthetic leather that makes them so fragile...
and I think there is break in period as most people suggest in any nike shoes.
I agree with Breakpoint, tennis is really hard on shoes. When I played a lot in my youth if I got even 4 months out of shoes I was doing well. Now I get 6 or more months and I'm fine with that. If I find a model I really like I buy them in 2 or 3 colourways and they can last almost 2 years.
I don't think I'd get significantly more wear out of another brand and I'm not worried really. Maybe if I was a teen/student I'd worry more about durability. How a he shoes look matters a fair bit to me since I wear them casually also. Nike do really well in that regard.
For years I avoided Nike just because I couldn't find anything that felt comfortable (not knocking them, my foot type must not have been correct). But on a whim, I picked up a pair of Zoom Breath 2K11s last fall and was amazed at how comfortable they were.
Assuming I had finally found a Nike shoe I could wear, I picked up 2 more pair (they were on sale). Then, 2 months later, I noticed this:
Understand that I rotate between 2 pair of shoes, so while this happened over 3 months, I was wearing them every other time I played. Worse is they had no guarantee. For $105 retail (I paid $69), you would think they might last longer than that.
I have 2 more pair to use, but I've relegated them to clay-only in the hopes they will last longer.
I understand that this is only 1 shoe in a line of 10-12 tennis shoes, but it is a high-end shoe, and apparently this was not an isolated incident as the 2K11s were known for bad durability (something I hadn't known when I bought them).
lots of guys on this forum still believe that ONE shoe will last you 2+ years...
my shoes last me 1-3 months, depends on the model
However, with the exception of the 2K11s I posted above, all other pairs of shoes have worn out the cushioning before the soles (I can tell because my feet start to hurt). Being as this was my 1st Nike purchase in over 5 years, I was surprised to see that kind of wear on a fairly expensive pair of shoes. I am by no means loyal to any single manufacturer, although my current pair of Head Prestige Pros IIs are surprisingly light & comfy, but doubt I will get another pair of Nike in the near future.
People who love Nike shoes and Babolat racquets love them so much they'll overlook all the faults, so its their choice but they're doing the general consumer no favours.
Why you just joined and poasted this crap already?

Brewpubs are rare in Utah and practically nonexistent in this section of the state, so it's a nice surprise to find one on a side road heading south out of Helper toward Price. This casual pub serves up a hefty spectrum of burgers, pizzas, salads, and steaks. Top your meal off with a draft pint of freshly brewed beer. If the weather's nice, have a seat on the outdoor deck.

Ok.. So I've been pondering posting, but after sitting here all day trying to figure stuff out, I've gotten to the point where it's time to post.
What I'm looking for is someone who is willing to provide me a little assistance to get my feet moving in the web development/design stuff. He who helps is he who gets rewarded.
I will be glad to share background info about my programming knowledge with he who wants to lend a helping hand.
Please leave a way of contacting you and I will contact you as soon as I see your post!
Thanks in advance! You all do amazing work! I love this place!
Anyone? I'm willing to compensate for your time!
You might get more of a response if you're more specific about what you're after and how (how much) you're willing to pay…
I'm not looking for a 'service', I'm looking to gather information. I'm not going to state a value because I don't know. Think of it as a 'tip' to a waiter at a restaurant. Few minutes of your time, for some of my money. Fair trade I think.

If you're looking for someone on TH to give you that information, then you ARE looking for a service and you will have a better chance of finding someone interested if you're more specific; both about what you're looking for and how much you're willing to pay someone to help you out.
Don't forget that most developers/designers around here are used to getting paid by the hour and hoping for a generous "tip" from your side after work has been done probably doesn't cut it (I think I can speak for the majority of member here on TH).
I'm seeking advice on where some good places are to start for a novice web developer / web designer that has experience in programming, just not the web aspect. Suggestions on websites, books, etc. etc. are what I want to discuss. 15-20 minute discussion. If this is a service to you and your expecting the equivalent to your hourly rate, don't bother because I'll just laugh in your face. Be respectable to me, and I will respectable in return. It's a simple game called life.
You can contact me via my profile page. I'll be happy to help. If you have any specific questions, send them along

ORANGE – It's an introduction you don't hear every day.
"Hi," says Bob Griffith, greeting a new patient at UCI Medical Center. "I'm your worst-case scenario."
It's Wednesday at the outpatient cancer infusion center at the Chao Family Comprehensive Cancer Center on the medical campus in Orange.
Like he does every week, Griffith is here to talk to new patients – almost all diagnosed with melanoma – who have been referred by their dermatologists to James G. Jakowatz, M.D., for treatment.
Most believe they're going to die. Some do die.
Many undergo grueling treatment.
And almost all of them go under the knife for having melanoma or another scary form of skin cancer.
Griffith, a youthful-looking 67-year-old dressed in a crisp blue shirt and tan slacks, is here on his own time.
Every Wednesday, he serves as a kind of opening act to Jakowatz, a surgeon who is recognized as an international authority on melanoma and sarcoma.
Some patients think Griffith is the doctor when he walks into the exam room.
What he dispenses, though, is nearly as valuable as any medication or surgical procedure:
Peace of mind, from someone who's been there.
Griffith, of North Tustin, had the worst of it 12 years ago: stage IV melanoma. Back then, the five-year survival rate was virtually nonexistent and, today, it hovers between 15 percent and 20 percent.
He was 53 when first diagnosed with stage II melanoma before learning, in 2002, that the cancer had spread from his head to his lymph nodes and then to his intestines, liver and kidneys.
Griffith, a reserve cop for the La Palma Police Department, was told to get his affairs in order, that he only had a few months to live. Then he ended up at UCI Medical Center under the care of Dr. Jakowatz.
Treatment was brutal.

Self-restraint is wisdom. Impulsiveness is foolishness.

Prudence, common sense and wisdom make a better life.
– Dr T.P.Chia
The first step of getting what you want is having the courage to get rid of what you don't.
Don't listen to people who tell you what to do. Listen to people who encourage you to do what you know in your heart in right.
If you are not happy being single, you will never be happy in a relationship. Get your own life first, then share it.
How people treat other people is a direct reflection of how they feel about themselves.
Never get too attached to anyone, it will lead to expectations and expectations always lead to disappointments…Anticipate everything and expect nothing.
There comes a time in life when you have to let go of all the pointless drama & the people who create it & surround yourself with people that make you laugh so hard that you forget the bad and focus solely on the good. After all, life is too short to be anything but happy.
Do it now. Sometimes "later" becomes "never".
Life is too short to stress yourself with people who don't even deserve to be an issue in your life.
If you want to fly, you have to give up the things that weigh you down.
Always appreciate what you have. There is always someone out there who wishes that had what you have.
Running away from your problems is a race you'll never win.
Not everyone things the way you think, knows the things you know, believes the things you believe, nor acts the way you would act. Remember this and you will go a long way in getting along with people.
– Arthur Forman

I'm in the Pittsburgh, PA area and I was wondering if anyone knows about a recycling program in the area for old/expired car seats? I would hate to throw them in the garbage... Or if anyone has any other ideas please let me know! Thanks mamas
This week I saw someone put a plastic shell out for recycling. Maybe you could take the straps and covers off and dispose of all three seperately?

NEW DELHI: Samajwadi Party leader Amar Singh on Wednesday resigned from all the posts he held in the party but retained his primary membership. Citing health reasons, he quit as party general secretary, as national spokesman and from the party's Parliamentary Board.
Mr. Amar Singh conveyed his decision from Dubai, where he is on a vacation, to a news agency and later to a private television channel. He faxed his resignation letter to party chief Mulayam Singh.
Mr. Amar Singh, a member of the Rajya Sabha, denied he was quitting the posts because of differences with Mr. Mulayam Singh but said it was not the party but his family and friends (the Bachchans and the Anil Ambanis) who stood by him when he underwent kidney transplant in Singapore last year.
Mr. Amar Singh, who had attacked Mr. Mulayam Singh for the party's humiliating defeat in the Lok Sabha by-election in Firozabad last November, however, maintained that he was grateful to the party chief for the opportunities given to him and would never speak a word against him. "I am grateful to him for the opportunities he gave me. But, after my kidney transplant my priority is my health, my daughters and my wife. At the age of 53, I am entitled to earned leave."

Although I have not played with it I have lifted both and checked out the specs . The tour 95 just feels so much more like a players stick.
I have fallen in love with it and I doubt Wilson will win me
Over ....jury is still out.
As for putting vortex out of business.....man was I wrong . In fact I think Wilson has legitimized Vortex.
Once Wilson copied Vortex it's obvious that sparse string patterns are legit and people are now looking at the vortex seriously.
It's a racquet way ahead of it's time .
Wilson may end up just buying out vortex. As it stands now you can't even get your hands on a tour 95 because they are sold out . They may get a shipment on June but from the looks of it they can't produce them fast enough.

A 19-year-old pedestrian in Nikiski received what Alaska State Troopers described as severe but not life-threatening injuries over the weekend after a Ford pickup hit him at Holt Lamplight and Anderson roads and then kept going.
Troopers identified the pedestrian as Jonathan D. Demilta of Nikiski. They responded to a report of the accident at about 12:30 a.m. Saturday. Demilta was transported to Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna.
The truck was described as a green Ford extended-cab pickup with damage to the front driver side, troopers said. Anyone with information that could help the investigation can call the Soldotna Public Communication Center at (907) 262-4453.

Experimental technique safely differentiates patients with pancreatic cancer, precursor lesions and benign tumors
Back to article | Note about images
Measurements of light scattering off of benign tissue look different from similar measurements taken from cancerous tissue using the four-dimensional elastic light scattering fingerprinting (4D-ELF) and low-coherence enhanced backscattering spectroscopy (LEBS) techniques developed by researchers from Northwestern University and Evanston Northwestern Healthcare. The results are from the most recent clinical trial of the light-scattering analytical techniques, a trial that has shown the minimally invasive method for detecting pancreatic cancer is also able to differentiate other types of dangerous and benign pancreatic lesions without actually sampling pancreatic tissue.Credit: Northwestern University
Pancreatic cancer, unseen at its earliest stages by any other method, can be detected by examining tissue from inside the duodenum, the uppermost section of the small intestine. The pancreatic duct communicates with the duodenum via the Ampulla of Vater. Researchers have shown that cells in a roughly 3 cm radius from this feature can show signs of the presence of cancer.Credit: Zina Deretsky, National Science Foundation
Tumors in the pancreas can not be effectively visualized at the macro or micro level. Pancreatic tissue is so friable, that sending any kind of instrumentation into it to explore for cancer would seriously endanger the patient's health. When compared under the microscope, cells biopsied from the duodenum are identical between control patients and those with pancreatic cancer. However, when researchers went one step further and looked at the scale of nanometers, this very same tissue gave new insight. Photons bounce off tissue at different angles depending on whether cells are healthy or not. The technique can "see" the relative difference between healthy and damaged tissue.Credit: Zina Deretsky and Nicolle Rager Fuller, National Science Foundation
View VideoThree of the pioneers behind novel light-scattering techniques to detect certain early stage cancers joined an outside expert on biophotonics in a call-in program to discuss new research results that were presented in the Aug. 1, 2007, edition of Clinical Cancer Research. Richard McCourt (right), of NSF's Directorate for Biological Sciences, was the moderator.Credit: National Science Foundation
Researchers can look at how light bounces off of human tissue to detect subtle changes potentially caused by cancer. The spectral image that results is like a fingerprint for disease. The technology was developed with NSF support by researchers at Northwestern University and colleagues at Evanston-Northwestern Healthcare.Credit: Nicolle Rager Fuller, National Science Foundation
After doctors take samples of duodenum tissue from patients, they analyze the tissue using sophisticated equipment like this apparatus in the laboratory of Vadim Backman at Northwestern University.Credit: Northwestern University

DoD awards $18M for battlefield energy reduction programs
Tuesday - 1/31/2012, 4:26pm EST
The Department of Defense announced today the release of $18 million to fund six programs aimed at reducing the energy demand of future expeditionary outposts.
DoD says developing innovative energy solutions is crucial to reducing dependency on fossil fuels, but fuel has also become an operational hazard. Supply convoys have become a frequent target.
One objective of the program is to reach new contractors, primarily small businesses and entrepreneurs. An information session is set for March. The registration deadline is Feb. 29.

Master Lock has received recognition for "insourcing" production work to Milwaukee from abroad.
Who delivers the best padlocks, Craisins and computer carts? Wisconsin is the source of these products, of course, as they roll from our shop floors to national and global customers. Because the factories that produce these goods - and thousands of others - are succeeding against fierce competition, Wisconsin manufacturing jobs are once again growing. The latest statistics show 30 consecutive months of rising employment and production nationwide. »Read Full Article

In January I changed my diet. I hadn't been eating foods that would generally be thought of as unhealthy, so I didn't think this would be a very disruptive experiment. My wife and I had been directed to the Whole30 idea, which basically boils down to eating:
Slightly stricter than the Paleo diet it's based on, it rules out all:
You'd be surprised how sneaky soy and sugar infest nearly everything in the grocery store. You may also be shocked at how expensive it is to shop for meat and produce, even cutting out those expensive processed foods, and alcohol.
The Whole30 program works like a detox: eliminating food groups that are the usual suspects for food allergens for 30 days, then reintroducing them one at a time. Some symptoms I looked forward to getting rid of: congestion in the mornings, overall fatigue, and once a month headaches. With some skepticism, we decided the pros outweighed the cons, and started the day after New Year's Day.
We struggled through the first week without too much complaining. Going without half and half in our coffee was a tiny challenge with a nice boost of pride. "Room for cream?" the barista asks. "None for me, thanks; I like it black," I would smugly say. Going without a glass of wine at dinner was less satisfying, and cutting out beer made me sad. I think I compensated for my lack of beer by over doing the caffeine. My next detox diet will be to go 30 days without caffeine – crazy, I know.
What was most noticeable during the month was the fact that I was always thinking about my diet – even when I wasn't hungry. It became a part of my identity. I was someone with dietary restrictions. With no history of known food allergies, I'd never had to really think about what I ate. Now, every bite was first mentally reviewed, and queried with the database of "compliant" foods. When my son left a good spoonful of yogurt uneaten, I had to catch myself from finishing up after him. But I felt good – I had clear sinuses each morning, steady energy levels all day, and I felt confident because of my self-discipline.
When you cut out most carbohydrates – and rice, bread, and potatoes previously made up a large portion of my meals – you're often left hungry. It takes a while for your body to look to proteins and fat for quick energy, when it's used to getting its fix from carbs. The Whole30 authors also encourage refraining from over-snacking. Somehow, I was supposed to get by on three filling meals and be done with eating. Maybe someone with a slower metabolism could hack that, but I need to eat!
For snacks, I chose:
Snackable Whole30 Compliant Protein from Shurky Jurky
But it was difficult to find snack-able proteins. I liked the idea of finding a good beef jerky for snacking. However, most beef jerky in grocery stores have sugar, added flavors, preservatives, and on and on. With serendipitous timing, the guys from Shurky Jurky had recently sent us a sample of their Whole30 compliant beef jerky. If you want to be adventurous, there's also their chocolate covered jerky. I'm highly tempted to order their monthly subscription – monthly meat, delivered to my door. I'm not usually a fan of jerky – I find it too peppery and spicy – but this was different. It was chewable, smoky, and delicious beef. And it filled the gaps between meals.
January is over, and I can go back to eating whatever I want. It's a little scary, to be honest. Even though I had to follow a restrictive regimen, my body felt good, and I didn't have to guess what was causing annoying symptoms, aches, and fatigue. I weathered the gentlest cold virus ever over the last week. I'm not going to attribute mystical healing powers to the Whole30 (c'mon, you gotta admit diet programs can be a little cult-like). But I do think my immune system was strengthened. I'm looking forward to spring in the Pacific Northwest, and testing my immunity against the evil hay-fever. I think my body adjusted to higher amounts of protein from beef, pork, chicken, fish, vegetables, and nuts, and lower amounts of starchy foods. And I don't want to ruin all my hard work. I'm in a difficult position of deciding how to proceed.
Do I want to keep certain food groups out of my diet, even though my experiment is over? Who does that make me – Brian, who doesn't eat grains or drink beer anymore? Now, I get to choose.
A Well Crafted Party received a complimentary package of the Whole30 Compliant Shurky Jurky for purposes of review. All opinions are those of A Well Crafted Man.

I will never claim to be the most fashionable person, or to have the latest in fashionable items. But, I do love clothes. And, I love styling my little family. Yesterday I shared some of our family photos taken by Motormouth Studios one very cold day this last November. It was FREEZING outside, so I asked everyone to dress warmly and to coordinate with a color scheme of brown and blue. I didn't want everyone to be wearing the same thing or even close to the same thing– I didn't give much more for family members to go on for their outfit styling. I'm really glad I didn't dictate that everyone wear a certain type of outfit or only certain colors. I was really happy with how everyone looked together!
My husband placates my desire for us all to coordinate (never match) and usually allows me to pick choices of clothing for him to wear. He always gets the final say and typically it surrounds whether or not he can also wear a hat he likes or comfortable shoes. My son, given the choice, will always choose anything with Lighting McQueen or Elmo on it. So, I'm thankful that he is pretty great at letting me pick out his attire for now. He enjoys getting dressed up and making sure his hair looks good in the mirror. When I purchased the sweaters for the little guy and his dad I didn't realize how similar they'd look. It *almost* looks as if they are matchy matchy… but, little one's cute polka dot undershirt helped them differ just enough in my book.

To grow a plant, all you need is a seed or start, soil, sunlight, and salt-free water (I had to force an s in there somehow). Water is easy; it comes out of the faucet, and I point it at the garden plot until it's soaked, twice a day. Sunlight's easy, though I should have planned my plot for a sunnier patch of the yard. I'll talk about seeds in another post, since first I want to tell you about our soil.
I should have tested the soil to check its pH balance, then correct it to a veggie conducive growing chemistry. I read (flipped through) the chapter in the veggie garden bible, Growing Vegetables West of the Cascades, by Steve Solomon, but I didn't retain much. I remember something about loamy and silty soil being good, I think…but I never found out what category mine fell under. When digging our plot, my brother and I removed all the large rocks, anything bigger than a potato, and that alone filled a bucket. If we tried to get all the rocks smaller than that out, it would have taken days of back-breaking effort. Besides, my mom said a few small rocks help keep the soil wet, or something like that.
I also should have supplemented our poor dirt with some quality soil and compost. I started a compost pile last year, but didn't really keep up with it (noticing a pattern yet?), so dumping non-decomposed – is it just called composed? – eggshells and coffee grounds wouldn't do much to engender growth in my veggies. Maybe the pile will be decomposed by next spring's garden.
Squat. I'm the lazy gardener. Sometimes I put in the minimal amount of effort to get the payoff that minimally satisfies. I am proud of the veggies we've eaten so far: a few handfuls of green beans, 3 cucumbers, lettuce, spinach, and basil. They were surprisingly tasty. To supplement the soil, I did buy two bags of organic soil and mixed that into the plot. For a garden the size of mine, I should have used six bags. We've gotten some edible veggies so far, but my neighbor's garden makes me jealous. I guess the saying is true: you reap what you sow. And I'm a shoddy sower.
Luckily, I have amazing neighbors. Four out of the five houses around ours have gardens, and besides sharing their veggies, they're sharing their tools and expertise. Check out this sharp-bladed contraption:
With just a few minutes of arm-jarring steering of the bucking rototiller, our plot was plowed. You can rent them cheaply from your local hardware store if you lack generous neighbors. Using the machine got what would have been 2 hours of effort done in 15 minutes. And remember my last post, where I said gardening should mostly be done by hand? Ha! I recommend using at least a gas rototiller to other lazy gardeners out there.
Jenni used to be an editor at a newspaper. I think the journalism blood is still pumping through her veins. She's been blogging for most of our marriage, and, at times, I worry that she might have an addiction. I'm not sure there's a cure.
So, it's not all bad. Her foray into the blogging world has allowed us to meet some great people, who are also bitten by the bug. We're part of a larger community that's developing ways of sharing life together, online, and in person.
Happy blogging, honey.
It's Picnic Week here on A Well Crafted Party. My wife bought me beers to try so I could tell you which ones I'd bring to a picnic. It's a hard, hard life. Check out the other picnic-related posts, but only after reading about the beer!
Beer comes in cans or bottles, usually. We once thought that beer in cans was cheaper, not as tasty, and only for frat boys and hipsters. It still is, but the audience is widening. Around 2009, craft breweries starting canning in addition to bottling. That lead to a shift in perception, and there are a few good reasons for breweries to offer their beer in cans. Cans don't break like bottles do, and are cheaper to ship. For beer drinkers, the beer quality is actually better in cans, since no light can penetrate them, and the seal is tighter than bottle caps. The green consumer will also be happy that cans recycle much more efficiently. So let's get tasting.
Right now I'm trying the "Sweet As" Pacific Ale by GoodLife Brewing Company. They're a brewery in Bend, Oregon (can we call Bend Portland's tomboy sister, and get away with it?), and it's a satisfying pale ale for an Oregon summer. The Pacific in the name refers to the two hop varieties used in this pale ale: Galaxy from Australia, and Pacifica from New Zealand. The galaxy hops give the beer a slight citrusy, passion fruit profile, and overall, it's not so hoppy to fall into the IPA category of bitterness. If you're a fan of Widmer's Drifter Pale Ale, you'd probably like this summer brew by GoodLife.
Hopworks Urban Brewery IPA is next. The hops hide behind the malt – the aroma's all sweet and malty, and you don't really know you're drinking an IPA at first. I'd recommend it to beer drinkers who want to like IPAs, (oh, you're from Portland? You must like IPAs, right?) but find that most are so bitter they shrivel their tongues. Now, I may be losing beer snob cred here, since Hopworks claims this beer is 75 IBU. But taste it, then taste something like Ninkasi's Tricerihops. The HUB may indeed be a better picnic beer, but it's not overly hoppy for an IPA.
Another selection from HUB: Rise-Up Red, NW Red Ale. This seasonal beer was only made available in cans this year. It's full bodied, thicker on the tongue than a pale ale or IPA, but delicious. It's brewed with the northwest mainstays, Cascade and Centennial hops. I prefer more refreshing beers for picnics, but might go with the Rise-Up Red on a hiking trip in the spring. By the way, Centennial hops are also used in many other Oregon beers, like Bridgeport Brewing's Hop Czar, Rogue's Independence Hop Ale and Double Mountain Brewery's Pale Ale.
21st Amendment Brewery's Hell or High Watermelon is an American wheat beer, with watermelon added during second fermentation. I love eating watermelon, but I've never really been a fan of anything watermelon-flavored. When I tasted this beer, I did first notice the watermelon, but it really wasn't overpowering. It ended up being really thirst quenching. I would pair it with campfire food or burgers.
Looking for a cheap, session beer? Some picnics call for trunks full of beer, but you just can't stoop down to the level of Bud and Coors. And PBR makes you feel like you're trying too hard. Our local Trader Joe's stocks the Simpler Times Lager, from Minhas Craft Brewery, in Wisconsin, IL. Set your expectations to low, and you'll be happy with this affordable (under $5!) six pack.
If bottled beers are allowed in parks where you live, like they are in Oregon, I'd also recommend 10 Barrel Brewery's Swill. It's a summer sipper, a berliner weisse infused with grapefruit. You might not find it to your liking, if you've never had a penchant for fruit beers. I loved the taste, and the look on people's faces when they take a sip. It's surprisingly good. And even the most machismo of men can maintain their masculinity while partaking in this fruity picnic beer. Maybe they'll sell it in cans, after they read this post? C'mon 10 Barrel, you liked my tweet that one time, about your beer; you know you owe me for the free advertizing.
For the perfect picnic, my recommendation is just to try them all. If I had to pick one, I'd suggest the Hell or High Watermelon Wheat. I had two at the Portland Blogger's Family Picnic this afternoon, and it just felt right.
I do not have a green thumb. I don't live with a dog or cat, partly because my toddler is enough of a mess to take care of, but mostly because I wouldn't be a very good pet owner. I've always thought I should try and keep plants alive before taking on the responsibility of a dog.
Despite my terrible sense of responsibility, I had a strong urge to learn how to garden, and when my family and I moved into a house with a yard last summer, I decided to risk taking (botanical) life into my hands. I was motivated by seeing friends and coworkers show off their bountiful produce (the size of one coworker's zucchini was astounding).
I'm a little bit of a scifi nerd, and some post-apocalyptic stories seem more likely than others. And if the grocery stores are all empty, I want to at least know how to grow my own vegetables. Ideally, I'd have a few goats, chickens, bees, and alpacas as well, but I thought I'd start with a veggie garden.
I am the epitome of a novice, so this gardening series is not meant to be tutorial, but more "try not to cringe at all Brian's mistakes." Perhaps you can learn a little from what I've screwed up.
Spring was arriving in Portland, and I was ready to get started. I'd done a little research into how to convert a grass lawn into a vegetable garden. There were different options, like covering the plot with newspaper, letting the darkness kill the grass for a month, and mulching in the newspaper. I had two problems with that option: I didn't have any newspaper (who doesn't read their news online? Sorry, print journalists), and I didn't have a month's worth of patience. I decided to go with the other option I'd read about – flipping the turf.
We moved to this house from an apartment, so the only tools we had for outdoor work were left behind by the last tenants. I had a sturdy, if dull, shovel, and that was enough for this task. Some people rent a back-hoe for this – I witnessed a neighbor actually tearing up his yard with one – but I'm not that gung-ho, or that full of money. Besides, gardening should be done as much by hand as possible, don't you think? (I changed my mind later!)
As you can see, my brother and I dug a rectangle, about 8 by 10 square feet. No real planning went into the dimensions or the location. It just looked to be the right size, and maybe we got a little worn out. Flipping sod is not for city folk, with flabby city muscles.
My first mistake was choosing the plot location. I didn't put hardly any thought into the most important element: where sunlight fell in my yard. What a rookie mistake. All I needed to do was spend one day occasionally eyeballing my yard, and marking the extent of sunlight and shadow. The plot I chose is about 40% shady (that's my very scientific measurement). Shade is okay for some plants, like lettuce, so it wasn't the worst mistake I could have made. But now I know what I would do differently next time.
In the next post I will tell you about how my laziness and impatience lead to my next mistake. It's not all bad news – we have successfully harvested spinach, lettuce, and basil, so far, and there is a fat cucumber getting fatter everyday.
(Come on… make me feel better!)
A new addition to A Well Crafted Party is a series by my husband, Brian, called A Well Crafted Man. Please welcome him to the site and let us know what you want to know about the man behind the party!
This being my first post, I want to tell you a little about myself. Which puts me in an awkward position, since I don't like telling the Internet stuff about me. I also don't like lists, but Jenni suggested a list would make this post easier (doesn't she love lists?). She's my wife, so she's usually right.
In no particular order—
Now you know a little about me, and will hopefully welcome my addition to this site. In my typical, mercurial fashion, if I set out an agenda, I'll change it later, but you may see posts from me regarding being a dad, enjoying Portland, brewing beer (here's my old homebrewing blog: bostbeer.blogspot.com), and perhaps some philosophical ponderings of politics, people, and purpose. And a lot of alliteration.
I have a wonderful husband. He is supportive. He is kind. He is helpful. He is a fantastic father. And, he eats whatever I make and tells me it is delicious. Today is his birthday.
I love everything about this guy. I could go on and on and on. But, I'll save you from all the mushy stuff. If you're into twitter or Instagram then give my guy a Happy Birthday shout-out. I'm sure he'd be tickled pink! You can find him on both with the handle @PortlandPorter (or click here for Instagram & here for Twitter). Also, the guy is an AWESOME Instagram photog.
I'll be back later today to share about the Whole Foods wine tasting and beer tasting Twitter parties that the husband and I got to enjoy this past week. So fun getting to share some of this blogging business with him! UPDATE: You ever have one of those days that just gets away from you? Yea, that happened. I'll have the Whole Foods post up soon. Cheers!
UPDATE: Check out the Whole Foods Wine & Beer Tasting Post Here!
So, I have a lot of fantastic ideas for posts and have been working on them all… not to mention the 3000 other things I have to do this December.
I was so incredibly inspired by this post from Love Stitched. I mean… If the writer of a blog and company that I admire so much really does have a house and to-do list that look like mine then I might not be as crazy as I think I am.
So, that has been my month so far… what have you been up to?

By Mohammed Ghobari CAIRO (Reuters) - Saudi-led air strikes killed at least 80 people near Yemen's border with Saudi Arabia and in the capital Sanaa on Wednesday, residents said, the deadliest day of bombing in over two months of war in Yemen. Iranian-backed Houthi rebels seized Sanaa last September and then thrust into central and south Yemen. Seeing the Houthi advance as a bridgehead for Iranian influence in the region, a Saudi-led coalition began air strikes on March 26 in a campaign to restore Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi to power.

It was with sadness that we learned last week that the "EAR"resistable animal rescue organization in Grayson County was about to close because of a lack of funding.
In its brief life, the non-profit group provided a humane alternative to the animal shelter, saving the lives of dozens of animals that were neglected, abused, abandoned or from families that no longer had the means to care for them.
The operation soon realized that it, too, was being abandoned by donors who, in this dog of an economy, were no longer able to help.
Help needed with deer
I just read the story in regards to the deer population in Galax and, as much as I like animals and love watching the deer, we could use some help up here, also.
We have actual herds roaming all around Pipers Gap, Cockerham Loop and Coleman Lane and on the side streets, also.
Finally, the anticipation is over.
Chestnut Creek School of the Arts' renovations were complete in late 2009, a slew of Galax city workers and volunteers helped full- and part-time staff move into the former First National Bank building in downtown Galax last week and classes will begin today, Monday, weather permitting.
Our moral imperative
Very few folks are satisfied how things are going in our community. People are fed up with the mess.
Issue upon issue; controversy upon controversy; what is true, what is propaganda; who knows, who doesn't know; who's doing, and who's doing nothing — all has lots of folks wondering what is going on.
If there are problems in Carroll's emergency services department, they weren't on display as many members of fire and rescue from across the county responded to the Briarleigh Court blaze Jan. 9.
If one could see behind the firefighters' breathing apparatus, no doubt their faces would show concern for the 37 people living inside the apartment complex. Alongside that emotion, the rescuers' faces also reflected their determination to get everyone out of harm's way.
As children, we can't wait till we are teenagers. Age 16 comes and we can't wait to be 21. Twenty-one comes and we can't wait to be 30.
On it goes, waiting to retire, and even that has been extended.
Each year we lose someone we care about to death. The gathering for that, too, is growing smaller and smaller.
In the 1980s, people began wanting a sense of belonging and the search for generations past became a must in nearly every family.
New school is a waste of money
Why are we building this expensive new Grayson Highlands school up toward Troutdale, when our school-age enrollment is declining and state funding is decreased?
This sounds nuts to me.
The building at Bridle Creek Elementary, where I vote, is solid as a rock.
The academic program has won a presidential citation for excellence. It's small enough that teachers know the children and families by name.
Get ready for painful budget cuts
I must be psychic. My last letter pointed out that there would be many state and local cuts coming because of Medicaid funding changes, when and if this healthcare plan passes.
Lo and behold, cuts are taking place well ahead of time, much like credit card companies scrambled to increase interest rates well ahead of the February deadline that they were given by the feds.
If you look at the cuts reported in The Gazette Dec. 21, it is amazing but pretty predictable.

Probably not worth the trouble to subclass NbPreferences.Provider for that (if that's what you are thinking). Preferences itself is a pretty large class and you probably just need key-values on the server.

Playoff spots up for grabs
Matt Cassel showed tremendous grit last Sunday by returning from an appendectomy to guide Kansas City past Missouri rival St. Louis. But it's the staunch running of Jamaal Charles and Thomas Jones that makes the offense go, and the defense under coordinator Romeo Crennel is among the most improved in the league.
"I'm happy we're in a situation where we can control our own destiny. I'm happy that no matter what, we're going to have a winning season. There are a lot of pluses," Chiefs guard Brian Waters says. "I'm very excited about it all. But now we have a responsibility to our fans and to ourselves not to get carried away and not to look too far ahead."
The Titans aren't eliminated from the AFC South race, but they need to get their house in order for next season and they broke a six-game slide by beating the Texans last weekend.
San Diego (8-6) at Cincinnati (3-11)
You sort of expect the Chargers to be a factor in the division and behind the superb work of Rivers, despite a slew of injuries around him, they are. A stumble in their longest trip east all season doesn't seem likely, and they don't have to worry about covering Terrell Owens: T.O. is MIA, on injured reserve after need surgery.
New Orleans (10-4) at Atlanta (12-2), Monday night
Ah, the marquee matchup of the weekend. Atlanta won on an overtime field goal at New Orleans in Week 3, a victory that provided tremendous impetus toward the league's best record. The Falcons can shut up any remaining doubters that they are a championship quality outfit by handing the Saints a second consecutive defeat, which also gives Atlanta home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs.
New Orleans struggled against the run in its loss at Baltimore last Sunday, which bodes well for the Falcons, who can ram the ball through most defenses.
"We know what's at stake," Atlanta coach Mike Smith says. "The one thing I will say, though, is there's a lot of football left to be played over the next couple of weeks."
Minnesota (5-9) at Philadelphia (10-4)
Don't expect a 7-minute, 28-point explosion from the Eagles again. Then again, why not with the way Michael Vick, DeSean Jackson, Brent Celek, Jeremy Maclin and LeSean McCoy are performing behind an inconsistent line that they make look better than it actually is.
NBC wanted this game for prime time, perhaps hoping for a Vick vs. Brett Favre matchup. At least the network gets the most entertaining and dynamic offense in football - and it can recount, once again, all the tribulations in Minnesota, even if Favre isn't on the field.
N.Y. Giants (9-5) at Green Bay (8-6)
One day after that stunning collapse against Philly, Giants QB Eli Manning got vocal with his teammates. Is that a sign of leadership or are the Giants on the verge of panic?
Manning had one of the best games of his career in the 2007 NFC title game at frigid Lambeau Field, and he's pretty good at bouncing back from disappointment. Plus, a win and the Giants are in at least as a wild card, not a bad scenario if they then can emulate '07's run to the championship.

Young Buck - Addicted
Artist: Young Buck
Producer: Beat Boyz
Album: Back on My Buck Sh*t Vol. 3
Avg Rating: 3.0 ( 13 votes )
In a genre packed with tales of unlikely triumph over adversity, Young Buck is one of the most tenacious underdogs in the bunch. Just what is it that keeps the Southern underground mainstay coming back for more, in spite of all obstacles in his path? Simple: as he reveals on the inaugural leak off his forthcoming mixtape, he's Addicted to the cashflow that his hustle provides. Of course, he goes on to explain, his hunger for currency isn't driven by pure greed—as he sees it, his primary role is that of a "breadwinner" for his family. Beat Boyz man the boards, layering fluid guitar riffs and ambient synths over slow-rolling percussion as the G-Unit alum/victim spits an unusually reflective account of the grind for paper, illuminating the conflict between personal life and the pursuit of lucre through his conflicts with his girl: "Lost in the money, and I can't find my way out / It won't work—she complain when I stay out." Complete with the smooth chorus vocals of a currently-unknown hookman, this understated banger is just one of many fresh cuts set to appear on Back on My Buck Sh*t Vol. 3; keep it locked for release details!
