I had the chance to visit with some of the Heavy Seas team a few days ago and sat down with Christopher Leonard, the Brewmaster and Operations Manager for Heavy Seas to talk about Tropi Cannon, the most recent seasonal offering from this outstanding brewery.
(Brewmaster Christopher Leonard describes Tropi Cannon)
Tropi Cannon tastes like summertime! And the design for the labels, sixpack carriers and cases all capture the essence of this incredible seasonal craft beer from Heavy Seas! For a look around the Heavy Seas tasting room and some images of the design work around Tropi Cannon, click here: http://pro.wzbafm.tritonflex.com/common/page.php?id=3711

April 8, 2016 – World of Beer One of the many signs of the ever increasing popularity of craft beer is the number of choices we have when we visit a bar, pub, tavern or restaurant. Whether the craft beer is bottled, canned or on draught, we now have a variety of beers to choose from. The growth of the craft beer industry has meant that there are now establishments that make beer the centerpiece of their business. Instead of having 5 or 15 beer selections, these places have fifty or even… 500!
One of these places is World of Beer, now with two locations in Baltimore: Locust Point and Towson. Each location features 500plus beers with over 50% of them American craft beers! I sat down with John Stein and Rich Weddle from World of Beer this week and we talked about the growth of World of Beer.
World of Beer started in a suburb of Tampa, Florida in 2007. Over the years, it has evolved from a strictly beer and craft beer concept to a place that now offers craft spirits, wine and tavern food. I asked John Stein about World of Beer's presence in Baltimore.
(John Stein talks about World of Beer's first two stores).
John is a Vice President with World of Beer and Rich Weddle is a Product Manager. When I asked Rich about his responsibilities, I heard the passion of a true beer guy.
(Rich Weddle talks about the beer and the events at World of Beer).
You can't miss the Randall when you walk in to World of Beer. And the ingredients that are in the Randall and the featured beer change on a regular basis. What's really cool is drinking a craft beer in its original recipe and then drinking the same beer after it's gone through a Randall.
World of Beer. Another stop in your craft beer journey.

April 1, 2016 – Harpoon Brewery's Camp Wannamango Pale Ale
Years ago, when I started my exploration of the amazing world of craft beer, the number of breweries and number of craft beer choices was extremely limited, especially when compared to what we have available today.
But the ones that were available were making wonderful pilsners, lagers, ales, porters and stouts. One of those breweries was Harpoon Brewery in Boston, Massachusetts. Harpoon was formed in 1986 when Rich Doyle, Dan Kenary and George Legetti teamed up to start the brewery and hired Russ Heissner as their head brewer. From there it was coming up with their first recipe for their first craft beer, Harpoon Ale. Harpoon is now celebrating 30 years of making outstanding craft beer and their lineup is more impressive than ever.
This week, I met with Bruce Bickford and Danny Levine from Harpoon. Bruce and Danny stopped by 100.7 The Bay to share a delicious new pale ale from Harpoon: Camp Wannamango. Here's Harpoon's Bruce Bickford:
(Harpoon's Bruce Bickford describes Camp Wannamango Pale Ale)
You can be one of the first in Baltimore to taste Camp Wannamango Pale Ale by attending the launch party next week. Here's Harpoon's Danny Levine:
(Harpoon's Danny Levine gives details about the launch party for Camp Wannamango)
Harpoon has an awesome company slogan that embraces so much of what the craft beer adventure is all about: Love Beer. Love Life.
So grab a Camp Wannamango from Harpoon and, as the saying goes, "Love Beer. Love Life."

March 18, 2016 – PostSt. Patrick's Day Beer OK. Let's say that you celebrated St. Patrick's Day yesterday and that you might have even celebrated a little more than you had originally planned. But now it's Friday and, well, Friday nights can be a little cooler with a great craft beer. So you're in a dilemma: what do you do?
Well, first of all, take it easy. Yesterday was fun, but there's no need to repeat that kind of day, or night, two days in a row. So pick up a low ABValcohol by volumecraft beer and enjoy a great night tonight!
With so many new high ABV beers being released, it's easy to gravitate toward those because of the newness and the unexplored beer adventure that is there. But there are so many outstanding craft beers that are between 45% ABV and are complex, fullflavored and absolutely delicious. And many of these are also, new, or relatively new, and all are just waiting for you to enjoy!
Here are a few to look for:
Primal Pale Ale from Evolution Brewing. When you raise your glass, you'll pick up on notes of pine and citrus in the aroma. Then as you drink it, you'll taste a very subtle hop profile and soft malt flavors. This is 5.0% ABV.
Dark Horse from Oliver Brewing. This is an example of the Mild Ale style. It's deep brown in color and is brewed with five malts, three hops and is smooth from start to finish and is just 4.0% ABV.
Namaste from Dogfish Head Craft Brewery. A Belgianstyle white beer brewed with organic orange slices that are dried before being added to the brew kettle along with fresh cut lemongrass and a little coriander. Namaste is only 4.8% ABV.
So on this day afterSt. Patricks' Day, go exploring lower ABV craft beer. You'll end up finding many new experiences that you'll want to visit again and again. Cheers!

March 4, 2016 – Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm It's pretty amazing to look at what's happening with the Maryland craft beer industry these days. New breweries are being built, existing breweries are developing fascinating variations on traditional beer styles, and more and more people are realizing that the flavor, aroma and appearance of a craft beer make enjoying it one of good things in life.
Two weeks ago, I visited Milkhouse Brewery at Stillpoint Farm and spent time with owners Tom Barse and Carolann McConaughy along with Milkhouse Brewery's Abby Casarella. Tom and Carolann have built a stunning brewery on a beautiful farm in Mt. Airy. The taproom is warm and inviting and the beer is great!
Tom Barse has been brewing beer since he was 18 when his father gave him a home brewing kit. What makes this especially interesting is that, at that time, home brewing wasn't legal in America. But because Tom's dad traveled to England on business on a regular basis, he was able to get his son started and then bring home hops and yeast on future visits.
Those early days of brewing helped Tom perfect his craft. Now 44 years later, Tom is living a dream, brewing some impressive craft beer at Milkhouse Brewery. And the bonus for you and me is that now we can drink it! Two of his beers, Coppermine Creek Dry Stout and Red Eye Porter have recipes that have been refined over 27 years of brewing each one. And all of the Milkhouse craft beers feature locally grown ingredients. Milkhouse is a true Maryland farm brewery.
Of course, a visit to a craft brewery is never complete without tasting some beer. This time, I had the chance to enjoy a beer before it was finishedand it was delicious! Here's Tom Barse on one of the craft beers from the Milkhouse Reserve Series.
(Tom Barse talks about Milkhouse Brewery Honey Rye Double IPA)
You can take a video tour of the brewery and taproom by clicking HERE. And you can visit the brewery any Friday, Saturday or Sunday afternoon. It's a great place to spend time with friends and enjoy some fine craft beer!

February 26, 2016 – Manor Hill Brewing Tasting
Last week on this Craft Beer on The Bay feature, I passed along the story of Manor Hill Brewing, one of Maryland's farm breweries. While visiting the brewery, I had the chance to spend time with Manor Hill's Head Brewer, Ben Little and Manor Hill's Director of Brewery Operations, Jason Gotcher and see… and smell… the brewery in full operation. You can take a video visit of the brewery today by clicking HERE.
After a walk around the brewery, we took spots at the taproom bar and opened cans of two of Manor Hill's craft beers. The first beer we tasted was Manor Hill IPA. Here's Head Brewer, Ben Little.
(Ben Little talks about Manor Hill IPA)
Then, we poured three glasses of Manor Hill Grisette. This is Director of Brewery Operations, Jason Gotcher.
(Jason Gotcher talks about Manor Hill Grisette)
You can visit the tap room any Saturday between 12noon and 4pm and enjoy these two beers as well as a number of other really good craft beers. So go on a Manor Hill Brewing beer adventure and taste a Maryland craft beer at its freshest!

February 19, 2016 – Manor Hill Brewing-How It All Started
As we are all seeing, the path to the start of a craft brewery is different each time. The best part of the adventure for each brewer and brewery owner is when the time comes to start brewing that first batch of craft beer!
Last week I had the chance to visit Manor Hill Brewing in Ellicott City and spend some time with Jason Gotcher, the Director of Brewery Operations, and Ben Little, the Head Brewer at Manor Hill. Jason's road to overseeing Manor Hill started at Victoria's Gastro Pub in Columbia where he wasand is the Beer Director for Victoria's extensive beer menu. And Ben's path to becoming Head Brewer at Manor Hill really developed when he was the brewmaster for the inhouse brewery at Frisco Tap House in Columbia.
Manor Hill Brewing got started a few years after Mary and Randy Marriner, the owners of Victoria's, bought a 54acre farm in Ellicott City. After taking ownership of the farm in2011, the Marriner family designed a new house, rebuilt the existing barn and constructed the building for Manor Hill Brewing, another Maryland Farm Brewery. That sounds simple, but it took a lot of work, a lot of care and a lot of time. The result is a beautiful propertyand a wonderful brewing facility and tap room. What started as a dream, became reality when the first batch was released last July, 2015. And then in December, just two months ago, Manor Hill canned their first beer.
Manor Hill currently has two beers available in Maryland liquor stores: Manor Hill IPA and Manor Hill Grisette. Next week on this Craft Beer on The Bay feature, Head Brewer Ben Little and Director of Operations Jason Gotcher describe these two excellent craft beers! If you can't wait to hear their descriptions, pick up a Manor Hill IPA or Grisette this weekend and capture some magic from a can!

February 12, 2016 – Stouts!
OK, maybe there's no snow this weekend, but this is going to be one heck of a cold weekend! I don't know about you, but I am all ready for Spring! And although the official first day of Spring is March 20th, I always think about Spring starting on March 17th---St. Patrick's Day!
Like you, I look forward to drinking Guinness Stout on St. Patrick's Day because, well, it's delicious, it's a standard for Dry Stouts and there is tradition associated with it---after all Guinness is brewed in Ireland.
But there are some excellent Dry Stouts brewed here in America. These are truly craft stouts! However, beyond Dry Stouts, this time of the year is a great time to explore stouts as a category.
You can find each one of these styles in your local liquor store. So go exploring and enjoy this new adventure!

February 5, 2016 – Winter Beers
It's February 5th, just three days after Groundhog Day. If you didn't hear the news, Punxsutawney Phil didn't see his shadow. And because this is such a reliable, errorproof way of predicting this particular change of season, we're headed for an early Spring! Sure…
The reality is that we are in the middle of Winter and this is a time for us to all enjoy some wonderful Winter craft beers. Winter beers are almost always a little higher in ABV Alcohol By Volumeand provide a nice, warming feeling while you savor something rich and delicious.
With the craft beer industry enjoying such tremendous growth, there are many different Winter beers for us to savor. With the weekend here, I'd like to offer three spectacular craft beers, each uniquely different, each a different style.
Heavy Seas has created an awesome Imperial Extra Special Bitteran Imperial ESB. Winter Storm is brewed with hops from the United Kingdom and hops from our own West Coast. A variety of pale and dark malts give Winter Storm a big body and a great aroma. Winter Storm from Heavy Seas checks in at 7.5% ABV.
Union Craft Brewing has an Oatmeal Stout brewed just for the Winter Season. Oats and seven different malts go into this excellent Oatmeal Stout along with Cascade and Columbus hops. It's almost completely black in color and has an ABV of 8%.
Flying Dog has several limited release craft beers for this time of year and one of the best is Horn Dog, a Barley Wine that is one of the best Barley Wines brewed in Maryland. Three interesting malts combine with three distinctly different hops to produce a 10.2% ABV Barley Wine that smells and tastes especially good in a beer snifter.
Enjoy the weekend and grab one of these to stay warm and celebrate life.

January 29,2016 Ruhlman Brewery
For most brewers, the path to becoming a brewmaster starts with home brewing… and that's exactly how Henry Ruhlman, the Head Brewer and owner of the Ruhlman Brewery, got started. Last week I met with Henry at his brewery on the family farm, a few miles outside the town of Hamstead and Henry told me about his introduction to craft beer and the formation of the Ruhlman Brewery.
Henry's start in home brewing was through an extract beer kit he received as a birthday gift in 2003. Extract beer kits provide all of the ingredients you need to brew a fivegallon batch of beer. After trying a few more extract kits, Henry started growing his own hops so that he could brew his beer with hops right from his farm. Over time, those hops became a big hop field!
(Henry Ruhlman talks about his hop field)
In 2010, Henry and his family became owners of his father's farm and, shortly afterwards, began making plans to open a brewery next to the hop field. In 2012, Henry built a 10 barrel brewery on the farm including a bottling and labeling line.
While I was at the brewery, Henry had a batch of his Red Ale in one of his tanks and we talked about Ruhlman Red Ale and Ruhlman Milk Stout.
(Henry Ruhlman talks about his Red Ale and his Milk Stout)
You can find Ruhlman Brewery beers in Carroll County and at the brewery, year round. And a summer visit to the brewery gives you a chance to walk through the hop field or just sit in their beer garden and drink a Ruhlman craft beer.

January 22, 2016 - Red Shedman Farm Brewery
This week, I visited the Red Shedman Farm Brewery in Mt. Airy, located on the Liganore Wine Cellars property. Red Shedman Brewmaster and founder Vic Aellen and I spent a nice May afternoon at the brewery last year talking about craft beer and about his approach to brewing. When we met on Monday, Vic shared some of the beers and ciders he is just releasing now and will be releasing over the coming months.
(Red Shedman's Vic Aellen talks about his newest releases)
Like all great craft breweries, Red Shedman is developing a legion of fans who loves their beer.
(Red Shedman's Vic Aellen talks about new place to enjoy their beer)
And as good as Red Shedman beer is, Vic continues to explore, create, and enjoy his journey as a brewer.
(Red Shedman's Vic Aellen talks about his view on craft brewing)
We then took a taste of one of Red Shedman's flagship craft beers.
(Red Shedman's Vic Aellen talks about Suicide Blonde IPA)
So settle in this weekend during this crazy snow storm and savor a craft beer from Red Shedman Farm Brewery. How about a nice, cold Suicide Blonde?

January 15, 2016 – Gunpowder Falls Brewing
As the amazing world of craft beer keeps growing and changing, we not only get to enjoy new craft beer but we also get to enjoy recipes that have been around for years. The new beers are a great adventure simply because they're new. But there's something special about having a beer that has been perfected over time. Great breweries and great brewers are constantly seeking perfection in their beer.
This past Tuesday, I visited Gunpowder Falls Brewing and met with Martin Virga, the owner and brewmaster, and a person who has spent years refining his craft beers. Martin has a rich history and is a classically trained and educated brewer. In the late 80's, Martin spent four years in Germany as an apprentice brewer and as a student at the highly regarded Doeman's Brewing Academy in Munich. When&n

Spotlight on California: Moving Toward Regulation
By Chris Voltarel and Beverly May
Introduced in February 2003 by Assemblywoman Kehoe and sponsored by the California chapter of the AMTA (AMTA-CA), Assembly Bill (AB) 1388 proposes state regulation of the massage profession in California.Member surveys conducted by both the AMTA-CA and Associated Bodywork and Massage Professionals (ABMP) found strong support for state regulation. Although a fair number of smaller California towns have no local regulation, the vast majority of massage therapists often work under very onerous local laws; years of efforts to improve these local regulations have been frustrating. The intention of AB 1388 is to create the least, most appropriate regulation possible. Necessary points of the bill naturally include preemption of local ordinances and fees, and reasonable protection for all currently practicing massage legally in California.
Because of the uncertainty surrounding the budget and the new governorship, AMTA-CA requested that AB 1388 be held in committee rather than voted on this year. This means that the bill will not be considered in 2004 as it now exists, but will possibly be revived as a new bill in 2005. Keeping the bill in state legislative committee will slow down the process and allow those of us with vested interests more time to address the concerns of everyone involved, including various associations representing cities, counties, law enforcement, health, wellness and spa industries, and other school groups. We plan to proceed knowing we have the votes to pass a good bill and have had the time to make necessary compromises wisely.
Currently, AB 1388 is further along than the sponsors expected when it was first introduced; still, it was a long shot that the bill would be heard this session. Introducing the bill, however, created momentum and helped identify supporters and opponents. There may be an interim hearing regarding the bill in early 2004, at which time we will focus on building support and improving the bill. Waiting to introduce it again in 2005 will give us plenty of time to address concerns in a new two-year legislative session.
AMTA-CA has funded this project and done much of the grassroots work; however, it has not worked alone. A coalition of massage professionals, including representatives from AMTA-CA, ABMP and various school groups, has been working to implement the best possible bill for California. Associations representing reflexologists, Trager practitioners, energy workers and many other specialty groups have worked closely with AMTA-CA sponsors to ensure they, too, are treated appropriately under the law; moreover, we have achieved significant support from groups we had not expected, as well as support from legislators and local officials.
Politics and regulations bring out the best and worst in people. Martin Luther King said that the end never justifies the means - it is through the means that the spirituality of the end is defined. If we are to guide our clients to wholeness through caring touch, we must model the highest level of integrity in our actions. It is with such a commitment that AMTA-CA pursues improvement of the regulatory environment in California.

Relation of Certain Quantum Chemical Parameters to Lubrication Behavior of Solid Oxides
AbstractIt is well-documented that certain oxides (such as Re2O7, B2O3, MoO3, V2O5, etc.) can provide friction coefficients of 0.1-0.3 to sliding surfaces at elevated temperatures and thus they are often referred to as lubricious oxides in the tribology literature. In a recently proposed crystal chemical model, Erdemir was able to establish a close correlation between the reported friction coefficients of such oxides and their ionic potentials [1]. In the present paper, we expand on this original concept and explore the relevance of two other quantum chemical parameters, electronegativity and chemical hardness, to the lubricity of solid oxides. These parameters have already been used by scientists to explain the nature of tribochemical interactions between various oil additives and sliding surfaces. It is conceivable that electronegativity and chemical hardness may also be strongly related to the extent of adhesive interactions and shear rheology of solid oxides and hence to their lubricity. The new results have confirmed that electronegativity, like ionic potential, is indeed a valid quantum chemistry parameter that can be used in predicting the lubrication behavior of solid oxides. Generally, the higher the electronegativity of the solid oxides is, the lower the friction coefficients will be. However, chemical hardness did not yield a similar trend. In light of these new findings, we propose some guidelines for the formulation of novel oxide or alloy systems that can lead to the formation of lubricious oxides at elevated temperatures. The findings of this study may pave the way for designer-based tribosystems in general and smart tribochemical systems in particular in future tribological applications such as dry machining.

College News
St. John Fisher College's Wegmans School of Nursing Receives $911,000 Grant for Program Expansion
St. John Fisher College's Wegmans School of Nursing (WSoN) has received a grant from the Federal Health Resources and Services Administration in the amount of $911,448, which will be used to continue to develop and expand the College's Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) Program.
The grant will help the development and implementation of new courses for the existing doctor of nursing practice program. According to Dr. Dianne Cooney Miner, Dean, WSoN, the enhanced curriculum will include cultural competencies specifically focused on underrepresented groups, medically underserved, and at-risk populations. In addition, the School will implement a focused recruitment effort for the program, to attract DNP students from underrepresented groups.
"We are committed to develop our DNP students so they are able to serve disadvantaged populations, rural citizens, and at-risk school children, in settings where they can apply new models of care and offer new health care solutions to the populations most in need," said Cooney Miner.
The grant comes at a time when the Greater Rochester area's unemployment rate is high, resulting in a growing economically disadvantaged population who has less access to health care. The WSoN hopes to use some of the funds towards the expansion of clinical learning sites for DNP students that will include the opportunity to work with the medically underserved, minority and disadvantaged city school students, migrant workers, rural citizens, and veterans.
The DNP program accepts nurses at the post-master's level and post-baccalaureate level. The post-master's admission is for advanced practice nurses who are prepared as nurse practitioners, clinical nurse specialists, nurse midwives, and nurse anesthetists. Post-baccalaureate admission advances baccalaureate-prepared nurses to doctoral preparation as nurse practitioners or clinical nurse specialists.
For more information about the DNP Program, contact Mary S. Collins, PhD, RN, FAAN, DNP Program Director at (585) 385-8397 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Demi Lovatos 2nd Single off of her new album Unbroken "Who's That Boy", featuring Dev was announced as the second single from the album by Lovato herself Unbroken is the third studio album by American pop singer Demi Lovato. The album was released on September 20, 2011, by Hollywood Records. Lovato worked with a variety of producers and writers such as Toby Gad, Rock Mafia, Timbaland, Dreamlab, and others. Lovato had been recording song for the album right after promotion for her second album, Here We Go Again , ended during the summer of 2010 and resumed in April 2011 after Lovato's treatment stint ended. The album's lyrical content was heavily influenced by the singer's emotional problems that became publicized in late 2010 when she was sent to rehab for treatment. This came after an altercation with a back up dancer occurred while on tour with the Jonas Brothers. The album is sonically influenced by the sound of pop and urban artists like Rihanna and Keri Hilson. The album received mixed to positive reviews from music critics. Some appreciated its material showing growth and maturity in Lovato's music, while others dismissed it as immature and confusing. Lyrically, the majority of the album's songs are based on Lovato's life experiences of love, heartbreak, boys, and having a good time. Musically, Unbroken is rooted in the pop genre, while incorporating elements of R&B and dance music in its production and beats. The album debuted in the fourth position on the Billboard 200 with sales exceeding 96,000 copies.[2] It also debuted in the top five position on the charts in Canada and New Zealand Its lead single, "Skyscraper", was released on July 12, 2011 and was a hit in the United States, reaching number ten on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Lovato's highest peaking solo single. It also peaked in the top twenty in Canada and New Zealand. The single has been certified Gold by RIAA in the United States, making it her first single to receive this certification.[3] 1.

Our Failed Drug War
#4 Sep 7, 2010
Did it ever occur to you that all this Drug activity that has been hitting the papers now, is because the Mayor is using his agenda to get votes. The man didn't give a crap about the drugs until he made the decision to rid the Task Force. Has to get his last ditch effort for votes. Making all this fuss about Homeless and working with Potentials to get a homeless shelter (which who is funding Potentials and exactly who has audited their books lately?)
Give us a break, this is a ploy if you ever seen one. Line the pockets and make a homeless shelter for what? More issues so an organization can put names on a piece of paper to get grants and funding for thier payroll.
Start by getting these people time in jail, not just a pick up and bond out a few hours later. The Mayor, Police and the newspaper don't tell the public the statis for each arrest how many are back on the streets? how many are actually getting jail time? How many are back on the streets selling and the all time snitching to our police force for who and what? This drug round up is BS for a feather in someone's cap during election time, the same as working to get a homeless shelter.

What about the Doctors who are prescribing these medications, if they should be called that. What do they medicate anyway the person or the community.
Ever heard of the saying tell on 3 and you'll be set free. What in the world are they talking about, anyway. Can someone please let me know.
#15 Sep 17, 2010
Would you tell on 3 to get set free. Or would you be responsible for your actions.
How does it help if you tell on someone.
Who is telling on the Doctors who are killing the community, Just wonder if 3 Doctors tell on another does the offer work for them as well.

Theres a phys doctor that goes to number of towns arond here that prescribes 90 klonzopin a month for someone I know.That person gets so messed up on them that they are like a zombie.I reported this dr to a man and he said as long as the dr prescribes the dr is in his legal rights.Legal my butt,he is nothing more than a pill pusher.No better than those drs in florida that the feds are closing down.

Its a shame, that all the druggies have corrupted ever avenue there is. This kind of abuse, makes it really hard for a terminally ill patient to have drugs for pain and to make comfortable. Our judges have to give harasher sentences, not just a slap on the wrist. I knew someone who was picking up a presc. for someone terminally ill, there was a person standing around just listening to what kind of prescriptions they were getting. Fortunate that the pharmacist seen and called for mananger and this person bolted before they got there. So, the next time you pickup medicine, pay attention who is around. They might follow you home. Scary.

The pill pushers are bad I agree 100%. But the meth has me scared to death. This town has been turned upside down by meth and crack. I never thought the town I grew up in would turn out this way. Now I'm worried what will it be like by the time I have grandchildren? Will we have to start forming our own clean up crews to get our community back?
#21 Sep 18, 2010
The drug war is misdirected. It is foolish. It is stupid, unworkable, disastrous, tragic and sad. But beyond all that it is evil.
The drug war is grounded in an evil premise: that people do not own their bodies, that they have no right to control what they do with their own lives and their own property, that it is appropriate to lock them in cages if they produce, distribute or consume chemicals in defiance of the state.
This is a monstrosity. As long as America has the drug war, it is not a free country. Politicians who support it and expand it, knowing the evils it entails, have no business lecturing us on morality.
The war on drugs is not a program that should be reconsidered, reformed, or reinvented. It needs not a different set of priorities or a restructuring. It needs to be repealed completely. Its prisoners need to be released without an instant of hesitation. Its greatest victims should be compensated as much as possible out of the pockets of the aggressors. Those at the top of this war must be held responsible for their illegal and immoral acts.

I've been told that the top officials such as our county judges and attorneys who rep these meth offenders do it with the understanding that the lean sentences they receive means that when they are released they manufacture the drug (methe and or crack) for the big dogs and do their duties snitching on the rest of the drug slingers. If they fail doing what they were suppose to do then they go back to jail for another drug bust.

Any sensible person should be scared. The pill heads, the meth heads, and even the pot heads are a danger to our society. No matter their drug of choice the very fact that they are using them ILLEGALLY proves they have no respect for our society and its laws. It's only going to get worse until society realizes that more drastic measures are necessary. I personally wish they would put a bounty on all dopers and make it legal for us to hunt them for sport.

Sales of Land for Residential Use Soar in Q1
(Beijing) – The value of land for residential use sold in the capital in the first quarter was more than 85 percent of the total for all of last year, a report by a real estate services company says.
DTZ said on April 9 that 19 plots of residential land were sold for 26.2 billion yuan in Beijing in the first three months of the year.
The company predicted that developers would continue buying land this year. It cited a Ministry of Land and Resources statement in March that said local governments should increase the supply of land for housing. The ministry also said the total supply this year should not be less that the average land supply over the last five years.

When you visit a theme park, you want to be wowed. The rides and attractions are all designed to not only entertain you, but overstimulate your senses with motion, color and sound. For Universal Studios Orlando, this attention to the wow factor is apparent everywhere you go. Every experience at the park is intended to go beyond the visitor's expectations. While the latest addition to the park is the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, even established items are regularly updated. This includes the radio studios at the park.
Radio magazine has profiled the radio studios twice before in an online feature in 1998 and in the August 2002 issue. The last major update was in 2002, but there have been ongoing updates over the years. For example, the studio once had Mini-disc and DAT machines, which were popular formats at the time. As technology advanced, the studios saw incremental updates as well. After 10 years, it was time to update the consoles and routing system. The existing consoles worked just fine, but to keep pace with the effort of wowing the 250+ visiting radio stations each year, the plan was made to update the centerpiece of the studios.
There are two studios in the facility. The larger studio has a T-2 (Terminator) theme and the smaller studio has a Jaws theme. This includes a moveable T-2 head coming down from the ceiling and a swimmer being pursued by a shark. And while the park no longer has a Jaws attraction, the movie is still a well-known classic.
The studio furniture, while 10 years old, has held up well and still looks good. There was no need to replace it. It's Harris Hydraflex and can be adjusted from 30" to 38" in height. This allows visiting talent to find their comfortable height.
A Corian collar was added to accommodate the smaller consoles. T-2 is still looking at you.
Over the last year or so, the engineers replaced the mics and mic arms. Neumann BCM 104 mics were mounted on Yellowtec Mika booms. The Mika arms include the lighted ring to show the mic is live. Again, this fits with the intent to wow visitors.
To update the consoles, Bob Page of the Universal Studios Radio Broadcast Center, called on Broadcasters General Store, who called in Axia. The new system would include two Axia Element console surfaces with PowerStation cores and some Axia Nodes. The first step was to be prepared for the new consoles. The Elements are smaller than the previous consoles, so the in-counter hole needed to be covered. The mechanical shop at Universal stepped in and fabricated several collars (as they are now called) made of Corian to cover the openings for the consoles and the headphone and mic control panels for the guests. The Corian color accents the existing furniture.

The entire console swap was completed over a long weekend. On a Friday afternoon, Bob Page was joined by Jim Armstrong and Jim Kuzman of Axia and the Telos Alliance, Buck Waters from BGS, and some local Orlando engineers got to work pulling the old consoles out. The previous consoles had all discrete wiring, so that was removed as well. Then the collars were installed.
Once the old wiring was removed, a new CAT-5 cable was run between each studio and the rack room. This simplified installation and made it possible to complete the project over the weekend.
The Jaws Studio
The old mic processors had been removed earlier, but they were not replaced because the Axia has built-in processing on board.
On Monday, Jeff McGinley came in to help tie down some loose ends and have the studio ready for use on Tuesday. The new studios were first used on Sept. 6, 2012.
Another addition was the BSI Op-X automation system. While it's not expected a visiting station will run a full show from the studio with music from a playlist, it is possible. The Op-X replaced a cartwall audio player, and in doing so provides greater flexibility to visiting stations.
When stations visit the park, most of them use ISDN to connect back to their home stations. A few have used a POTS codec, and a few have used an IP codec.
But visiting stations are not confined to the studios. While spending extended time outside in the hot Florida sun is seldom preferred over and air-conditioned studio with a catered green room, the Comrex Bric and Access allow for remote feeds anywhere on the park property. An aircard gives complete portability as needed. Some events are held in the Hard Rock Hotel, and audio is shipped back via the Bric.

Step into the radio studios
The radio studios at Universal Studios Orlando continue to provide visiting radio stations with top-notch studio facilities that provide an experience beyond expectations. The most recent upgrade maintains the showcase look and feel that wows both park visitors and stations.

Last weekend's Lila May Schow Fundraiser was a success and this weekend brings another chance to help out.
Jennifer Lorenzen explains:
"On behalf of Lila May Schow and her family, I would like to extend our thanks to all those who came to, donated, and participated in the Photos with Santa fundraiser. Special thanks go to Erin Tegeler Photography, Columbia Gorge Hotel, Rosauers, Walgreens, Hood River Fire Department, Amancay Maahs, Chris Wilt, Kimberly Sweek, Matt Adams, the staff at Northwest Pediatrics, and Hood River News.
"Our community's' generosity is a blessing to Lila and her family. If you missed your opportunity to share with Lila, the Hood River County Fire Department will also be hosting a photo with Santa fundraiser on behalf of Lila on Sunday, Dec. 9, noon to 4 p.m. at the Fire Hall, near 18th and May streets.. Don't miss your opportunity to show your support to this local family.
Hosted by the Columbia Gorge Lioness Club, the recent Cascade Locks was a first-time event for the community.
"It was so encouraging to see the number of women there who are active in the community in a very positive way," writes Robbie Lee. Represented were women involved in the Action Team, AWANAS, Bingo, Bridge of the God Quilters, CLAD, FISH, Lions, Lioness, Pre-school Playgroup, RARE, SMART, Women's Fellowship, and local artists. Thanks everyone for coming out and contributing to a successful fun event."
"There is sad news about the passing of former Pine Grove resident Linda Diers," writes Debra Laraway, Hood River News' Pine Grove correspondent.
"This past spring a donation fund was set up for Linda with Cascade Central Credit Union on the Heights in Hood River. The family would like to Thank everyone for their cards and support during her battle with ALS.
Linda's services were held Nov. 27 at the West Union Lutheran Church in Carver, Minn. Linda and Dave have lived in Carver for the past several years.
Memorials and or sympathy cards can be mailed to: Dave Diers and family at 114 Reform Street N., Apartment 206, New Young America, MN 55368.
Dave and Linda's son, Martin Diers, a Pastor for the Augustana Lutheran Church presided in the service for his mother.
From a poem read for Linda by the family:
Asleep, in Jesus! Blessed sleep,
From which none ever wakes to weep;
A calm and undisturbed repose,
Unbroken by the last of foes.
Asleep in Jesus! Oh, how sweet
To be for such a slumber meet,
With holy confidence to sing
That death has lost his venomed sting!
Asleep in Jesus! Peaceful rest,
Whose waking is supremely blest ...

Lawnmower torches Arbor Vitae on Portland Drive
The riding lawn mower driven by Norma Cannon overheated and made contact with dry arbor vitae owned by Lee and Norma Curtis, sending more than a dozen of the tightly-packed trees up in flames. The mower, visible at far right, was totaled. No one was injured; neighbors first kept the fire at bay with garden hoses and Westside and Hood River Fire Departments responded and doused the fire before it reached any structures. Westside Fire chief Jim Trammell, in blue shirt, directs firefighters. The video was taken by Capt. Dave Smith of Hood River Fire Department. Enlarge

A recent Korean ladies magazine poll at the end of March is an interesting peek into how the domestic female viewers feel about how the hot Korean actors the English-speaking drama world fangirls over. It's not the same list, that's for sure, if I were to take a poll there are certain names that would dominate even if he hasn't done a drama in years. The ladies choice top three favorite Korean actors as of March 2016 are Signal's Lee Je Hoon in first place, Kang Dong Won in second thanks to his hit film, and third place goes to Song Joong Ki in all certainty due to the exposure of Descendants of the Sun. Expanding the list a bit more, Lee Je Hoon's Signal costar Jo Jin Woong takes fourth while Yoo Ah In just spent six months in front of television audiences in Six Flying Dragons and takes fifth place. Check out the top ten below, and most are recently quite popular or buzzed about on television, with the only name missing as Park Hae Jin since he got so much attention for Cheese in the Trap yet it's his costar Seo Kang Joon that found a place on this poll.

Thanks for all your advice and service. I was at a loss to figure out how I was going to save energy at my house. The experienced people at Drapes & More helped me pick out the window covering product which would help save energy and they helped with choosing the colors th...moreat fit my house just right. We decided on Duette Architella because of this product's high energy savings ratings. Now my house is warm and inviting, no more \"black holes\" at the windows. Drapes & More has a wonderful showroom and have many products on display that you can actually work. Having so many products to chose from could be a problem but the people at Drapes & More are knowledgeable and spent just the right amount of time showing me all of their products. They then came to my home and measured all the windows for free; when the products came they installed them and made sure everything was just right. I'd use them again whenever I need window coverings (or draperies/valances which I plan to do in the spring). You can't go wrong using Drapes & More Interiors.view less

Canadian prime minister ending four-decade career
TORONTO -- A grateful Liberal Party told Jean Chretien "au revoir" Thursday night with a star-filled tribute to thank the retiring prime minister for a 40-year political career culminated by a decade in power.
The celebration on the opening night of a convention to choose a new party leader, and by extension prime minister, overlooked divisions of the past two years from the rivalry between Chretien and his successor, former Finance Minister Paul Martin.
With Martin poised to be named Liberal leader today, the focus this night was on Chretien, who sat with his wife Aline in the crowd of 7,000 at the Air Canada Center for performances by young musicians, gospel singers, Celtic fiddlers, jazz great Oscar Peterson and singer Paul Anka.
In his final speech as party leader, Chretien focused on his accomplishments as one of Canada's most successful politicians, winner of every election he contested including three straight Parliament majorities for the Liberals.
Ever the politician, he rallied his party against conservative parties trying to merge to form a united opposition in the next election.
"Canadians should beware of those on the right who would weaken the national government because they do not believe in the role of government as an agent of good," he said to one of numerous standing ovations. "My friends, my fellow Canadians, my fellow Liberals, if you remember only one thing that I say tonight, remember this: We must never, ever lose our social conscience."
He called Martin a great Liberal who will carry on the party tradition, a conciliatory gesture after their rivalry caused party infighting that almost led to a revolt last year intended to force Chretien from power.
"Although we have accomplished so much, there is still so much more to do," Chretien said to a huge cheer. "Paul Martin will need all our support ... and I can assure Paul that you have my support."
Martin has secured enough support for a first-ballot victory in Friday's leadership vote. Under Canada's political system, the head of the majority party in Parliament forms the government, meaning Martin can succeed Chretien without an election.
He is expected to seek a fresh five-year mandate next spring instead of waiting to serve out the final two years of Chretien's term.
Still, it remains up to Chretien to formally retire and hand over the prime minister's office. That is expected to happen early in the new year, and Chretien said Thursday he would meet with Martin next week to set the schedule.
It will be the end of an unlikely but remarkably successful career for the rough-and-tumble politician who turns 70 in January but still bounds up stairs.
In his speech, Chretien cited the triumphs of his 10 years in power -- eliminating a huge budget deficit to promote consistent economic growth; withstanding the separatist aspirations in Quebec; asserting Canadian autonomy in the face of dominance by its superpower neighbor, the United States.
He angered President Bush this year by refusing to take part in the Iraq war, and his government ratified the Kyoto Protocol intended to curb global warming, which Bush's administration rejected.
"We have also known when we must go our own way internationally -- in a manner that is consistent with our values, doing the right thing, no matter how difficult," Chretien said to applause. The crowd stood and cheered when he cited Canadian values of multilateralism for staying out of the Iraq fighting.
Lawrence Martin, who has written two biographies of Chretien, wrote in a column in The Globe and Mail newspaper that called the prime minister the Canadian version of Harry Truman.
"As a character out of the give-'em-hell-Harry mode, Canada will probably never come closer to having its very own Harry Truman than it did with Jean Chretien," wrote Martin, who is no relation to the man expected to be the next Liberal leader.
Chretien liked to refer to himself as "the little guy from Shawinigan," referring to the working-class Quebec town where he grew up. A fighter since childhood, when other boys would tease him for the birth defect that left him deaf in one ear and with a misshapen smile, he combined that toughness with extraordinary political instinct to rise through the Liberal Party ranks.
After holding various Cabinet posts under Pierre Trudeau, he failed once in a leadership bid and left politics, but spent the time plotting a return. That occurred with his victory over Martin for the party leadership in 1990.
He became prime minister three years later, and noted Thursday that he probably could win another term if he chose to run again.
Tall and angular, Chretien never appeared fully comfortable in his public life. He spoke little English when he arrived in Ottawa as a Parliament member in 1963, and still gets lampooned for his rough treatment of both official languages.
His passion for Canada always was evident, an attribute noted by longtime opponents at his final Parliament session earlier this month.
"He did his best, and he did it straight from the heart, and he did it for Canada, first and foremost," said one of his sharpest critics, John Reynolds of the Canadian Alliance. "It is our deep abiding love for Canada that is our common ground."
Or as Anka sang in a modified version of "My Way" written for Chretien: "With him as guide, our national pride, was resurrected."

A new lease of life for the nation's favourite bird, Phil shows the best way to roast your chicken for the bank holiday weekend with his alternative to a classic Sunday roast - butterflied whole roast chicken with minty pomegranate couscous.
It's the last few days before payday so John Torode is in the kitchen with a recipe that reinvents Sunday lunch leftovers for a tasty Monday night meal.
It's also a recipe that reminds him of growing up, because its other name is My Dad's roast lamb fritters.
It's an aphrodisiac and tastes delicious too! Phil cooks not one but two dishes with asparagus at the Fleece Inn in Evesham, home to the annual British Asparagus Festival.
Phil will be joined by asparamancer Jemima Packington, and Gus the walking talking asparagus. Not forgetting St George who is getting ready to slay that dragon tomorrow on St George's Day.
Since Gin is traditionally Her Majesty's favourite tipple, cocktail guru Nick Whitby from from New World Trading Botanist creates a couple of patriotic cocktails fit for a Queen.
It's Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday today so Phil Vickery will be baking her bespoke chocolate cake she's had made every year - using the official royal recipe. We'll even speak to her former Royal Chef Darren McGrady who has passed it on.
Good food doesn't need to cost a fortune. Mother of two Kelly Eroglu from Reduced Grub claims she can feed her family of four for £20 a week - and there's not a fish finger or baked bean in sight - more like stuffed sea bass and lamb stuffed aubergine.
She shows us her top tips for bagging a bargain which her whole brood can enjoy.
Phil Vickery fronts his cookery item from the galley kitchen of the ship and shows Rylan how to make the slow cooked lamb shepherds pie he created for the couple's wedding breakfast.
You wanna know what really makes Gino's blood boil? It's people ruining some of Italy's best loved dishes, that's what! Today we'll be getting Gino's verdict on three Italian classics that have had a makeover - but what does he make of the results?
From red wine spaghetti to hot dog stuffed crust pizza, Gino explains why it's time Italian food is left alone - but it's the French chefs, with their one-pot pasta take on the classic carbonara that really gets his goat. Today he'll show the ONLY way it should be made - the Gino way!
