Are 1/2-inch bolts really better than 3/8-inch?
Are 1/2-inch bolts really better than 3/8-inch?
Like the old saying goes, it's not the meat, it's the motion. The meat in this case is bolt diameter, and the motion is either straight-out loading (tension) or straight down (shear). Shear loading, such as you'd get on a less-than-vert wall, tests the bolt shaft's breaking (shear) strength. Tension loading, such as you'd get with a bolt placed in a roof, tests its pull-out strength.
Forget about shear loading, a good, commonly used bolt such as the Powers PowerBolt and its ilk will not break. A 3/8-inch bolt of this type is rated to 7,000 pounds in 6,000 psi concrete (basically granite) and 4,000 pounds in 2,000 psi concrete (hard sandstone). This is roughly the breaking strength range of carabiners and much higher than any rope's maximum possible impact force. Scaling up your bolt to 1/2-inch using the premise that a 3/8-bolt could break is like carrying wood into a forest.
Tensile strength is another matter, since bolts can and do pull out, especially in softer rock, although in hard rock a 3/8-inch PowerBolt's tensile strength still exceeds that of the gear you'd clip to it. If, however, the rock is anything less than bullet, the superior holding power of a 1/2-inch bolt, which can be 50 percent higher than that of a 3/8-inch bolt, is worth the extra money and effort.
Bear in mind that a bolt, regardless of its size, can pull out due to improper placement, such as under-tightening the bolt, not cleaning the hole, and letting the bit wallow and oversize the hole, a properly set 3/8-inch bolt is likely stronger in tension than a badly placed 1/2-inch bolt.
Bolt length is the final consideration, and this is driven entirely by rock hardness or lack of it. In granite, a 2-inch-long bolt is, for practical purposes, as strong as a 3 1/2-inch-long bolt because both are overkill. Might as well go short there. In softer rock, a longer bolt is stronger (up to twice as strong) in tensile strength, and therefore more desirable, although in really soft rock the only bolts that hold are glue-ins and their 1/2-inch diameter will always win simply because there's more glue in the hole to reinforce the rock and distribute the load better.

Jane Lynch Chokes Up Remembering Cory Monteith
"He was a really bright light in our family, and we've lost a really great guy," the actress, 53, said of her Glee costar, who died last weekend at age 31.
Lynch said Monteith was always grateful for having been given the chance to act on Glee, and he shared that good fortune with others.
"He was always aware that it was a gift," she said. "And he was quite generous and one of those adventurous types of people. I always admired how he would get up and fly to Mexico. He'd throw parties for his friends."
She added: "I don't think he left one day unlived."
Asked how she would want people to remember Monteith, Lynch mentioned his generous spirit.
"He once flew across the country on his own nickel to meet with a sick kid whose last wish was to meet him," she said. "That's the kind of guy he was. He was just a real giver."
Monteith, who had battled addiction throughout his life, was found dead in a Vancouver hotel room on Saturday. Authorities say he died of a "mixed drug toxicity" of heroin and alcohol.
Fans of Monteith's may make donations in his name to three charities that were especially important to him: Project Limelight Society, which exposes youth living in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside to the arts; Virgin Unite, founded to support entrepreneurial efforts to better the world; and Chrysalis, which helps homeless and low-income individuals find employment.

I think this is the best course I have ever taken.
This class was so much easier to comprehend than any text on the market!
Well Done! Thorough and easy to understand.
Wow! I learned so much in this class. It was informative and fun at the same time. I feel confident enough now to say that I know Excel.
As an older person looking for a different career, I knew I needed new skills. I was worried I was too old to manage class learning, but it worked out great! The class was so clear and easy to follow. I can't believe the amount of knowledge I've gained. Thanks!
I really enjoyed this course and its "work at your own pace" design. I look forward to expanding my knowledge of Excel with an intermediate course in the future.
This has been one of the most interesting and informative Excel classes. I enjoyed learning everything. I was going to start off with Intermediate Excel but glad I didn't. That will be my next venture with Excel. I enjoyed taking this class and now I have a better understanding of Excel and how many of the function works. I can't wait to sign up for the next level.
This course was extremely helpful and delivered information in just the right "bites". It is well organized, and easy to refer back to when you move on to working with your own data and worksheets. It quickly gave me more confidence in navigating through Excel. Thank you.
Thank you for putting this course together! It has been so nice to fit it into my schedule as I needed. Excel is awesome and I've just seen the tip of the iceberg!!
Our instructor, Chad Wambolt, was great! His friendliness and pleasant attitude made learning enjoyable. Throughout the lessons, Chad included encouraging words to keep us going. Thank you so much for doing a great job!

LITTLE VALLEY – Three men were each ordered to prison for one to three years by Cattaraugus County Judge Larry M. Himelein for their unrelated convictions for assault, burglary and felony drunken driving, prosecutors said Wednesday.
Demitrius M. Romer, 26, of Olean, was sentenced on his assault conviction for an incident late last February that was not detailed by prosecutors.
Benjamin G. Meyer, 27, of Cattaraugus, got two one-year terms to run concurrently on his burglary and grand larceny convictions for incidents in the Town of New Albion last Nov. 28 and 29.
Michael S. Lecceardone, 38, of Little Valley, was sentenced on his latest driving while intoxicated incident in Little Valley last June 23. Prosecutors said he also was fined $1,000 for violating a previously-imposed probationary term in an earlier DWI case.

5 Life Lessons You Only Learn Through Quitting Smoking
#2. Everything is Temporary, Even if It Doesn't Feel Like It
Applies To:
First-week soreness of getting in shape. Heartbreak of being dumped. Depression. That fucking LMFAO song.
The Problem:
Quitting smoking fucking hurts. The pain is bad enough that it's actually the number one reason people give for not quitting (70 to 90 percent).
Quit or not, that dude is dead out of sheer Darwinism.
I'm going to be honest here, I can't say I blame them. It's one thing to experience a little pain, knowing that it's going to ease up in a few minutes. But the type you feel from nicotine withdrawal lasts for hours at a time. It gets to the point that everything you do is in response to it or in an attempt to prevent it. It rules you, and you have to be one tough motherfucker to get through it.
Where it really starts to fuck with your head, though, is when you get legitimate pain that has nothing at all to do with quitting smoking. Since you're already feeling the effects of withdrawal, your mind just lumps it all together, and suddenly your perfectly common stomachache is attributed to nicotine deprivation and not the six boxes of Valentine's Day candy you just gang-ate.
This is one more trick of the mind -- that obvious lie that if you don't scratch this itch, you will stay itchy forever and ever and ever.
Why Remembering is Vital:
If this were actually true -- that this constant pain is your new existence -- it actually seems pretty rational to say, "No. Fuck this. I'd rather die of cancer in 25 years than spend the next 50 living with this pain." That sounds reasonable to us when we're in the throes of withdrawal.
However, that whole "being in pain for hours at a time" claim I made earlier? It turns out that it only seems like that long because when you're in the middle of an episode, your perception of time gets all fucked up. Some people call it "time distortion" because they're most likely sci-fi fans, and they don't think that people want to punch them when they say that phrase. Regardless of that, they're right. The average nicotine fit only lasts three to five minutes, and knowing that makes it a whole lot easier to just grit our teeth and fight through it. It gives us hope and, at the very least, a finish line to shoot for.
The solution to that distortion that turns minutes into hours? Carry a clock.
It doesn't have to be that, obviously. Your cellphone would work just fine. It not only helps keep you grounded when things start going to shit, but it lets you know that you're almost through the worst of it. That little bit of information can mean the difference between getting through the hardest part of detoxing and just giving up completely. And again, apply it however you want -- if you diet long enough, your stomach shrinks and your hunger pangs quiet down. Restrain your fist, and your urge to punch motherfuckers eventually passes.
Your body will say, "This lasts forever, so you might as well give in!" But it's a lie, maybe the biggest lie your body will tell you. But the only way to find that out is to push through it. One way or another.
#1. Controlling Your Moods is Your Responsibility
Applies To:
Had a huge argument with your spouse/parents before work. Financial stress. Did I mention that fucking LMFAO song? Doesn't matter, I'm saying it again: That fucking LMFAO song.
The Problem:
Right now, as you fight your way through your first day without a cigarette, there is an entire world of people out there who have no idea that you exist. They don't know your name, your problems, your goals and dreams. To many of the people you'll encounter today, you are just a face behind a windshield on the way to work. Another humanesque form, handing the cashier a pile of metal circles in exchange for a cup of hot black liquid.
"I hope Satan makes you eat a thousand dicks in hell."
Nicotine withdrawal, however, has a tendency to make us stick out from the crowd by turning us into aggressive, inconsiderate assholes. Our actions can, in seconds, reduce someone else's day to a pile of smoldering ashes, and we can't let that happen. Yes, the pain makes it easy to slip into those moods and just unleash it on the poor woman who accidentally shorted us a quarter when handing back our change. But it's up to us to recognize that it's about to happen and stop ourselves before flying into a rage and calling the woman a dumb cunt.
Sometimes the dam just breaks, and before we even understand what's happening, we're yelling at some mortified server about their restaurant's conspiracy to skimp on mashed potatoes. Even though we know for a goddamn fact that the next thing we order is going to be seasoned with urine. So we stop ourselves and come clean. "Oh, man, I'm so sorry. I just quit smoking this morning -- I'm not normally like this."
The server will smile and tell you politely that he understands -- then head back toward the kitchen and whip out his cock.
OK, sir, here's your "food."
Why Remembering is Vital:
Society does not owe you the courtesy of walking on eggshells while you detox.
For your own mental safety, you cannot let yourself get used to people adjusting their actions to soothe your irritability. That's how egomaniacs are born. If everyone you know is appeasing your bullshit, you come to expect it, even after the withdrawal-related mood swings are long gone.
Sooner or later, we have to realize that some of the anger that is coming out of us isn't completely tied to nicotine. And regardless of that anger's source, it has to be dealt with in a way that doesn't involve a relapse back into that slow, painful suicide. This is something that has to be confronted on an emotional level, and if you don't have the capacity to tackle that on your own (most people do not), it's a good idea to see about tracking down a counselor. Or at the very least, a friend who's willing to put up with your stupid shit until you get past this.
Leave the cat alone, man. Get some goddamn human friends.
Remembering that the rest of society is not required to help you through your recovery keeps the most important message fresh in your mind: This is your fight, not theirs. And that will go for every struggle or bad mood or physical sickness you'll have to muddle through for the rest of your life. Because once that rough spot passes, there'll be another one behind it. Figure out how not to be a dick due to circumstances. Because pretty soon you'll figure out that there are always circumstances.

As the 49ers and Ravens made their way to New Orleans in advance of Super Bowl XLVII, the rest of the NFL teams' stars attempted to entertain at the Pro Bowl. A look at the star turns from Hawaii, where the NFC routed the AFC 62-35 on Sunday:
1. Kyle Rudolph, TE, Minnesota Vikings. Rudolph emerged as a top NFC tight end this season, and he made the most of his opportunity to replace Falcons future Hall of Famer Tony Gonzalez on the Pro Bowl roster. He was the game MVP with his five catches for 122 yards, which included a 52-yard play and a 3-yard scoring strike from Giants quarterback Eli Manning.
2. Russell Wilson, QB, Seattle Seahawks. Wilson, a fill-in for Atlanta's Matt Ryan, put on a show as a reserve in the second half, making the most of his limited pass attempts (8-of-10, 98 yards, three third-quarter passing TDs). Not surprisingly, it was another stage that wasn't too big for the confident Seattle rookie.
3. A.J. Green, WR, Cincinnati Bengals. The AFC was playing catchup for most of the game, but the NFC defense had trouble catching up with the speedy Green. He had TDs of 6, 4 and 49 yards among his seven catches for 119 total yards. He opened by connecting with Peyton Manning and ended up scoring twice for Andrew Luck.
4. Vincent Jackson, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Keeping up the NFC supersub theme, V-Jax did his best to represent as the replacement for Lions megastar Calvin Johnson. Jackson came through as a big, explosive target with six receptions for 91 yards and two TDs.
5. Victor Cruz, WR, New York Giants. What's a luau without a little salsa? Cruz danced past the AFC for a game-high 10 receptions for 96 yards. He also brought a bolt out of Big Blue to Honolulu by catching a 9-yard TD from Eli Manning.

dcdonnie4:The more costeffective army can win vs a more expensive (better unit) because they can just keep throwing them at the other player.
TacticalWillie: The next step you will want to do is fall back on your town-centers or towers with your infantry
what infantry, didnt the whole strategyjoel focus on 10 petards and 5 mamelukes
This is not joel, the strat makes sense so, not joel
This strat can be expected, so another reason why this isn't joel, his strats catch people off guard
i know this because ive used them and won with them.
skhsri:This is not joel, the strat makes sense so, not joelThis strat can be expected, so another reason why this isn't joel, his strats catch people off guard i know this because ive used them and won with them.
when is the last time u expected someone to FF and get petards then just blow up your tc?
skhsri:Why wouldn't people make petards they are cost effective in rush(take out houses in 1 shot) and great bait. Besides, if you dont see any artillery(organ gun / falconet) you can expect petards.
lol i dont think you know what cost effective is. Destroying a house w that costs 100 wood with a unit that dies instantly and costs 100 wood and 50 food is not cost effective obviously. You're just setting yourself behind.
you have a point but it does save you time attacking buildings and it is excellent bait(people freak out vs petards in my experience and usually send half their army to kill) i admit defeat to you pros.
Petards work for me because i tend to overgather wood a LOT usually when i win games i have ~6000 wood and no idea how i got that much
LordStefanIII:Im not a pro in supremacy. :P
TacticalWillie: LordStefanIII:Im not a pro in supremacy. :PYes Stefan leave it to the pros of supremacy. . . @Skhsri if they know you are going to do petards then you will need to distract him,,,send 10 of villagers to a herd near him he will see the herd dieing and send his army over to kill that is when you send your petards in and army and starting killing his 20 villagers
LOLOLOLOLOL I did a massive obnoxious laugh out loud when I read this. Its almost common sense that petards are among the most uncosteffective unit in the game. There are no pros that post on this forum. You need a noob to tell you that your strats are noobier than strategicjoels.

The New 'The Book Thief' Trailer Reveals a Quiet Oscar Contender
So far, the 2014 Oscar race has been most notable for the amount of films who have pushed back their release date to keep from being swallowed by the competition. But while those films are stepping aside, The Book Thief has quietly stepped up to fill the opening. With the exception of an ad campaign that ran two blank pages in the New York Times, there hasn't been a lot of press surrounding the film, which makes it an unlikely candidate for awards-season buzz. However, based on the new international trailer, it seems like the film is about to gain a lot more attention for its story of hope and the importance of words.
Based on the beloved and critically acclaimed novel by Markus Zusak, The Book Thief tells the story of Leisel, a young girl who finds solace from the tumultuous start of World War II in books, and finds a family in her adoptive parents and Max Vanderburg, the Jewish man they are hiding in the basement of their home. The cast is a mix of veterans and relative newcomers, led by Geoffrey Rush as Hans Hubermann, Leisel's warm, accordion-playing father and Emily Watson as Rosa, his stern but loving wife, and Sophie Nélisse as Leisel, Ben Schnetzer as Max, and Nico Liersch as Rudy Steiner, the fastest runner in town and Leisel's best friend.
Fans of the novel will surely have high expectations for the film, as it contains many elements that will be difficult to translate onto film — most notably, using Death as the narrator — but based on the trailer, it seems that the characters will have made the transition incredibly well. The Book Thief takes a different approach to telling a story set in World War II by focusing on a small group of people in a small German town. While it looks like Rush and Watson are set to give excellent, emotional and understated performances, the real focus will be on Nélisse, who has the difficult task of not only carrying the entire film, but also realizing a character who has been imagined and loved by so many readers. Without a major promotional push, it's unlikely that The Book Thief will end up with any major acting nominations, regardless of how incredible the performance, but hopefully it will be able to earn some recognition for its sets, its visual effects, or its John Williams-composed score. It may be the dark horse of the 2013 awards season right now, but everyone loves to see the underdog come out on top.
The Book Thief opens in New York and Los Angeles on November 8, and nationwide on November 15.

The line in question: "Of course sometimes s--- goes down when there's a billion dollars on an elevator." (There is, of course, the very slim chance Bey is talking about the dangers of transporting large volumes of cash or possibly bearer bonds, but we doubt it.)
She also states, "Mommy taught me good home training, my daddy taught me how to love my haters, my sister told me I should speak my mind, my man made me feel so g------ fine."
Minaj does not use her time on the track to clarify her alleged feud-but-maybe-also-not-a-feud with Iggy Azalea, but does note that she's the "queen of rap," and also that she's "slaying with Queen Bey," so … there's that.
Bey and Jay have been dodging rumors of marital trouble since before their On the Run co-headlining tour began June 25.
Where does this song fit into the elaborate web of evidence the Internet has been compiling? That's for you to decide.

It may be a man's world (as the song goes) but the talented women of The Voice brought the heat on the show's first night of battle rounds.
"It was certainly a woman's world tonight," host Carson Daly said after power vocalists Karina Iglesias and Judith Hill threw down on the James Brown classic, "It's a Man's Man's Man's World."
Soaring, impassioned and fierce, the divas-in-training matched up perfectly, putting on a clinic of sorts in a performance that had judge Blake Shelton "freaking out."
"You guys were connected from the moment you first came out," said a grinning Usher.
But it was new mom Shakira who summed up the epic battle perfectly: "It was almost deliciously contradictory to witness so much female power and to hear them say, 'This is a man's world.' "
In the end, Adam Levine, who had coaching help from Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott on this week's show, settled on Hill, a former back-up singer for the late Michael Jackson whose polish and star wattage is undeniable.
But not all was lost for the spunky Iglesias. Shakira quickly hit the "steal" button to snap her up, thrilling the audience and Iglesias, who now remains a top contender on Team Shakira.
Shelton paired quirky bar singer Christian Porter against country duo The Swon Brothers on Tom Petty's "I Won't Back Down." While Porter practiced hard and hit initially difficult high notes, in the end Shelton, who had judging help from Sheryl Crow, chose the brothers, saying they were from Oklahoma, like he was, and their connection was strong.
Shelton also had a tough time with two other team members: Holly Tucker and Michelle Raitzin.
"You both pushed each other and you both challenged each other," Usher said after the girls battled over Carrie Underwood's hit "Blown Away."
In the end, Shelton went with Tucker. "I have to go with what I'm good at and that's country artists," he said.
Usher, who enlisted the help of Pharrell Williams this week, challenged Jess Kellner and Taylor Beckham to captivate the crowd with Amy Winehouse's "You Know I'm No Good." He ultimately picked Kellner – but added a warning.
"I can't say that you both came out here and 100 percent lit it on fire the way I know that you can," Usher told them. "I want to make you understand – the work is only going to get harder from here."
Garrett Gardner, 17, of New Jersey, bested 27-year-old J-Sun of Brooklyn, N.Y., in Shakira's battle round.
"I almost felt like you guys were having a sermon up there," said Usher of their tight duet.
Meanwhile, Amber Carrington beat out her Team Adam competitor Sasha Allen as they faced off on the Pink hit "Try." Levine said Carrington "really exceeded my expectations." But Allen, a back-up singer for John Legend and Alicia Keys, was quickly stolen by Shakira.

"I wanted to have all of these recipes down on paper," Tucci told PEOPLE recently at a Gilt City event in New York. "They were so influential in my life and one of the reasons I am who I am."
More than 10 years ago, Tucci actually released a cookbook filled with his parents' delectables (entitled Cucina & Famiglia), but due to publishing issues, that edition slowly faded away. But with the help of his new wife, literary agent Felicity Blunt, and chef friend Gianni Scappin, Tucci was able to reissue the book this season, adding new photography, new recipes and a foreward by chef Mario Batali.
"It's full of really easy, great recipes to cook every night," Tucci said, adding that while he didn't write much, he did a lot of taste testing. "And I'm just glad it's out there."
A portion of proceeds from sales will benefit Food Bank for New York City, as well.
Interested in a hearty family dish? Try one of Tucci's favorites, created by his grandmother:
Steak OreganatoServes 6
1 top round beef steak (2½ to 3 lbs.)
2 Tbsp. butter
2 Tbsp. olive oil
½ cup dry red wine
½ tsp. dried oregano
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Courtesy of Gallery Books
Warm the butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan set over medium-high heat. When the butter is foaming rapidly, add the steak and fry to brown on one side, about 3 minutes. (If the steak is larger than your sauté pan, cut in half.)
Turn and season with salt and pepper.
Brown the other side, about 3 minutes.
Remove from the pan to a warm platter and set aside.
Add the wine and oregano to the pan, scraping up any meat that may have stuck to the bottom. Simmer to sweeten the wine, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, cut the meat into six equal portions. When the wine sauce is ready, pour it over the meat and serve immediately.

Donald Reukauf and his son, Dakota, and daughter, Megan, both Lancaster High School students, went out walleye fishing on Oneida Lake on an overcast day last June.
They didn't catch any fish, but they reeled in something even bigger: a Central New York man who nearly drowned after being thrown from his boat without a life preserver.
Robert M. Wafer, a detective with the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office, couldn't be more grateful to the Reukaufs, who responded to his cries for help, pulled him to their boat and held onto him until rescue crews could respond and bring Wafer to shore.
The Reukaufs received an award from the Sheriff's Office last fall, and the teenagers were honored by the Lancaster School Board at the board's Jan. 28 meeting. "If it wasn't for them, it's a fact I wouldn't be alive," Wafer said.
The paths of Wafer and the Reukaufs crossed on June 9 on Oneida Lake, where Wafer and his wife, Mary Ann, have a summer home on the north shore and where Donald Reukauf's parents have had a home for decades.
Wafer had taken his 16-foot Bayliner on the lake without telling his wife and without putting on either of its two life preservers.
As Wafer zipped across the lake, he walked back to the motor. The novice operator didn't realize boats that are unmanned, but under power, as a safety feature will start to turn and move in a circle, so he was caught by surprise by a sudden shift in direction and thrown clear over the starboard side.
The boat's wake kept pushing Wafer farther away from the boat, and from shore, and his hooded sweatshirt and jeans began to weigh him down. He treaded water but soon grew tired and cold.
"Being a police officer, I'm realizing I'm in a life-and-death situation," Wafer said.
He didn't have the energy to remove his heavy clothes, and his head dipped under water as he struggled to stay afloat.
After 10 minutes in the water, Wafer decided his best chance to survive was to yell for help.
Megan, then 14, and Dakota, then 16, heard his pleas. So the Reukaufs pulled up their fishing lines and took off toward the still-circling boat.
As they got closer, they saw the boat was empty and called 911.
Dakota was the first one to see Wafer, who was underwater except for one arm sticking up. "He was sinking," Megan said.
Donald Reukauf steered their boat close to Wafer as Dakota reached out with a fishing net, which Wafer was able to grab. Dakota tugged Wafer toward the side of the boat and then grabbed him as Megan held Wafer's head to keep it above water.
Megan said Wafer looked "out of it" as she reassured him, "I'm not going to let go of you. I'm not going to let go of you."
Their boat was too small to pull Wafer, who is 6 feet 2 inches and 200 pounds, onto it, so Wafer had to remain in the water until emergency crews could get to him.
Soon, a personal watercraft came by and Wafer, by now wearing a life jacket, moved over to grab onto the watercraft.
After 45 minutes in the water, a Constantia Fire Department boat came by to take Wafer to shore. Megan cried with relief when it was all over.
A relieved Wafer was treated and released from a local hospital, but he had trouble sleeping that night. He took a week off from work, and he met with a sheriff's chaplain as he tried to cope with his near-death experience. "It was really, psychologically tough," he said.
Wafer tried to reach his rescuers but couldn't find them, so the Onondaga County Sheriff's Office ceremony in November was his first chance to talk to them.
The Lancaster School Board picked up on the teens' accomplishment after Superintendent Edward J. Myszka overheard their mother, Cheryl, a district employee, talking about it.
The district included an account in its most recent newsletter and School Board President Kenneth Graber late last month handed out citations to Megan, now 15 and a sophomore, and Dakota, now 17 and a senior.
Graber read from Wafer's harrowing account and told the audience that honoring students like Megan and Dakota makes serving on the School Board worthwhile.
"I'm proud of my kids," Donald Reukauf said.

Rhythm of the Seasons
The idea of brewing beers to match the seasons dates back for centuries. Early brewers made refreshing lighter beers in the summer and heartier more sustaining beers in the winter. They also used the freshest ingredients at hand. From fruits, to herbs and spices, each of our seasonal brews is crafted to capture the flavor of the season.
World Inspiration
We get inspiration for our beers from all over the world. It starts with a foundation of a traditional beer style, and then we search high and low for the right ingredients to capture the taste of the season. Our journeys have taken us from Southeast Asia to Africa, Europe, and beyond. We never know where that unique flavor will come from that brings the beer to life.
Beyond Four Seasons
There are only four official seasons, but that's not going to stop curious brewers from experimenting all year long. Beyond Summer Ale, Octoberfest, Winter Lager, and Cold Snap, we've continued to create and experiment with other unique seasonal brews such as Old Fezziwig, Harvest Pumpkin Ale, East-West Kolsch, and a German radler called Porch Rocker to name but a few.

An eye-opening, controversial report about the investment fund fees paid by South Carolina's pension system is a good reminder about the importance of fees people pay on retirement and investment accounts.
The amounts that companies charge to manage 401k and IRA accounts and regular investment accounts don't appear large to most investors. An investor might pay fees amounting to less than 1 percent of their assets each year, or maybe somewhat more than 1 percent.
But here's the important thing: investments grow over time by compounding returns. That is, you earn money on your contributions, and on your previous earnings.
That's how, if you were to put $1,200 yearly in a retirement account for 30 years, earning a return of 7 percent each year, the $36,000 you invest would grow into more than $121,000.
But fund fees reduce the amount of money in your account each year, and those small reductions have a big impact over time.
Take just a half-percent of the annual fund balance away each year, to account for fees, and by my calculations your $1,200 a year would turn into $110,000 after 30 years instead of $121,000.
Notch those fund fees up from a half-percent to 1.5 percent annually, and your eventual balance after 30 years of investing drops to about $90,000.
Wow. Those small fees turn into real money.
For that small-time investor saving $1,200 a year, an annual fee of 1.5 percent would eat up $31,000 of their retirement fund.
Now we all know that you can't really find a retirement fund that will produce a positive 7 percent return each year for 30 years, though a fund may average those returns over time.
Stocks and bonds might have stellar returns one year and terrible returns the next — that's hard to control — but what you can control are the fees that chip away at your investments year after year, in good times and in bad.
In South Carolina, pension officials disputed a report that said the state was paying the highest fees of 35 states studied, while getting a 5-year average rate of return of 1.46 percent.
States paying the lowest fees had annualized returns averaging 2.38 percent, partially because of the fact that less of their money was going to pay fees.
When you're managing billions in pension funds, small improvements in average returns are a huge deal.
So, how can you take this information and use it to your advantage?
If you participate in a company-sponsored retirement plan such as a 401k, you may have limited investment choices, but you should still learn about the fees associated with those choices.
If you have investment or retirement accounts that aren't tied to an employer, then you have an extensive range of options, as far as where to invest the money. It's not hard to find large, reputable fund management companies that offer funds with annual fees below a half-percent yearly.
For example, Vanguard and Fidelity, the two largest fund companies in the U.S., both offer funds with annual net expenses of less than a quarter-percent (less than $25 per $1,000 in the fund).
According to Vanguard, the average expense ratio industry-wide is 1.11 percent. That's nearly 12 times the expense ratio for Fidelity's Spartan 500 fund, which tracks the performance of U.S. stocks and has an expense ratio of 0.095 percent.
Another lesson personal investors could learn from the extensive reporting about South Carolina's relatively expensive, under-performing pension fund, is that pursuing riskier investments with higher expenses in an effort to increase total returns is no sure thing.
What the stock and bond markets will do this year or any year is beyond your control.
But what you pay companies to manage your investment funds is up to you.

For the children of Kostruba, Uzbekistan
06 December 2005, 11:18
by Matteo Mode
To mark International Volunteer Day 2005, the United Nations Volunteers and the donor community in Uzbekistan have organized an event in Nukus, Karakalpakstan, with the children of Kostruba, a remote community in Karakalpakstan.
The event will include:
A concert where the children of Kostruba and the children of the Progress Centre will play and sing together. The Progress Centre, a leading educational institution in Nukus will host the concert which will take place on Wednesday, 7 December at 14:30.
Kostruba is a remote community in the desert of Karakalpakstan. In Kostruba there are no roads, electricity and gas. It takes three hours by jeep to get to the nearest village or road. The village has only one school for all ages. Nukus, the capital of Karakalpakstan where colleges and institutes are, is six hours away by car. Children in Kostruba have no access to educational or recreational activities, and no possibility to further their education in the community. Still, cultural traditions in Kostruba are rich: children and adults retain the ancient musical skills of the Kazakh nomad culture. Children themselves can play traditional instruments, like the domra and dutar, and sing the ancient songs of the Kazakh epic and ballads.
The EU and UNDP project "Enhancement of Living Standards in Karakalpakstan and Namangan region (ELS)" (http:www.els.uz) for funding the initiative and for contributing to the organisation of the event, and in particular for for the handicraft exhibition.
The UNDP project "Clean Energy for Rural Communities in Karakalpakstan Phase II" for involving the community in Kostruba where the project operates, and for providing support to the organisation of the initiative.
TICA - Turkish International Cooperation Agency - for funding the initiative. TICA has also funded the Energy project). The UNDP office in Uzbekistan for supporting the organisation of the event.

Irina Muresanu is currently a member of New England Conservatory's Preparatory School ensemble-in-residence, The Boston Trio, and was appointed Artist-in-Residence at the Boston Conservatory as a member of the Lewin-Muresanu Duo.
A native of Bucharest, Romania, Muresanu has won international acclaim as an outstanding young soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician, with top prizes in numerous international violin competitions. These include the Montreal International, Queen Elisabeth Violin, UNISA International String, Washington International, and the Schadt String Competitions. She is the winner of the Pro Musicis International Award, the Presser Music Award and the Arthur Foote Award from the Harvard Musical Association.
The Boston Globe has come to praise her as "…not just a virtuoso, but an artist," and the Los Angeles Times has written that her "musical luster, melting lyricism and colorful conception made Irina Muresanu's performance especially admirable," while Strad Magazine called her Carnegie/Weill Hall performance "…a first-rate recital."
Recent engagements as soloist include concerts with the Boston Pops, the Orchestre de la Suisse Romande (Geneva), the Syracuse Symphony, the Metropolitan Orchestra (Montreal), the Transvaal Philharmonic (Pretoria), the Orchestre de la Radio Flamande (Brussels), the Boston Phiharmonic, the Pro Arte Chamber Orchestra, the Romanian National Radio Orchestra, and the Miami Symphony Orchestra among others. She is seen here performing the final movement of Prokofiev's Violin Concerto No. 2 with the Williamsburg Simphonia, Janna Hymes-Bianchi, conductor.
Irina Muresanu's talents have been sought out for collaboration with such noted performers as Kim Kashkashian, Cynthia Phelps, Sharon Robinson, Ronald Thomas, Andres Cardenes, Ilya Kaler, and Nathaniel Rosen.
Irina Muresanu's performances have been frequently cited as among the "Best of" classical music performances by the Boston Globe, and her recital in the Emerging Artist BankBoston Celebrity Series was named one of the Top 10 musical events by TAB Magazine. She often can be heard on Boston's WGBH and other NPR radio stations.

They know the criticism is out there, primarily because their coach makes sure to tell them about it.
Penn State's secondary, with four new starters, is considered by many to be the biggest question mark on the team. Secondary coach John Butler has compiled some of the critical comments and made a point of relaying them to the defensive backs.
"It's definitely been a motivation factor," senior cornerback Stephon Morris said.
"Every day before practice, after practice, Coach Butler reminds us what everyone is saying," Morris added. "In the meeting room he gives us like little sayings about what the media has been saying, what Ohio has been saying about the secondary, how we're the weak link."
The defensive backs have to be getting tired of hearing the criticism, which is based on the unit's inexperience and depth concerns.
"Nothing that people say really burns me. ... It makes us want to play harder and makes us want to produce more," cornerback Adrian Amos said.
Amos hasn't been getting any criticism personally. It's been just the opposite, in fact, for a player considered by many to be one of the best on the team. Coach Bill O'Brien has said several times how impressed he is with the versatile sophomore, who can play all four spots in the secondary.
Amos said all the praise doesn't mean much to him because he knows he still has to produce on the field.
"If anything [the praise] will put more pressure to play well because now people are expecting me to do well," Amos said.
The other defensive backs don't have such lofty expectations from outsiders, so they'll have to earn their praise. This week would be a good time to start.
Ohio has a fast-paced, shotgun-based offense led by junior quarterback Tyler Tettleton, who's coming off a strong 2011 season. He threw for 3,302 yards, 28 TDs and 10 interceptions while completing 64.3 percent of his passes for the 10-4 Bobcats last year.
Tettleton gets rid of the ball in a hurry, which coupled with being in the shotgun could make it tough for Penn State to get much pressure on him. The secondary, therefore, will have to hold its own and make plays.
And finally, after years of playing soft zone coverage, the defensive backs are expected to play a lot of man-to-man and to put pressure on the receivers coming off the ball.
"I love playing man-to-man," Morris said. "Been doing that since I started playing cornerback when I was 7 years old. I'm just happy that my senior year to finally play a defense I feel comfortable and I feel happy and I feel wanted."
New defensive coordinator Ted Roof has implemented more aggressive schemes, which the players love.
"It allows us to be more open in space and really not think too much," junior safety Malcolm Willis said of the man-to-man coverage. "We really get to fly around to the ball and make plays."
Morris called Willis the quarterback of the defense because he knows all the calls, communicates well and keeps everyone relaxed.
Morris has extensive experience, starting 10 games in 2010 and two last year, while Willis played in every game last season. Amos played in every game a year ago as a true freshman and made one start.
The biggest wild card in the starting secondary is at the other safety spot, where senior walk-on Jake Fagnano, of Williamsport, and junior Stephen Obeng-Agyapong are competing. Neither has much experience, and the fact that a senior walk-on has been the leading candidate to start may not be a good sign.
Fagnano missed significant time during training camp with a hamstring injury, opening the door for Obeng-Agyapong to enter the mix.
It gets thin after that, with the top replacement possibilities being true freshmen Da'Quan Davis and Jordan Lucas. Both have looked good in camp, O'Brien said, but they're still unproven.
If the starters can all stay healthy, the secondary has a chance to progress and be solid by season's end. But if there are any injuries at all, things go sour in a hurry.
"We definitely feel like we're not the weak link," Morris said. "But we just want everybody to relax, and we're just ready to go out there and show everybody how hard we've been working."
Whether they're doing well or struggling, Butler has been there to keep the defensive backs motivated.
"He's probably the most enthusiastic coach that we have," Willis said. "He's always harping on the bad things that we're doing, he's always harping on the good things that we're doing. There's not a dull moment in the meeting room or on the field. He's always in our face. He just wants us to be the best player we can be."
If they can become the type of players Butler is hoping for, then Penn State's secondary will outperform all expectations and prove the critics wrong.
That process begins Saturday.
"We just get chill bumps," Morris said about finally getting to play a game.

A new NEA Working Group on the Regulation of New Reactors (WGRNR) has been established. The working group will address the regulatory aspects of the siting, licensing and regulatory oversight of generation III+ and generation IV nuclear reactors. The WGRNR will focus on construction inspection issues and share this experience with the other groups working under the aegis of the NEA Committee on Nuclear Regulatory Activities (CNRA). The WGRNR will also co-ordinate its activities with the work performed by the Multinational Design Evaluation Programme (MDEP) such that any duplication of effort is avoided. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/nsd/cnra/wgrnr.html.
An NEA workshop on the Role of Research in a Regulatory Context was held on 5 December 2007 at the NEA offices in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. In the course of the workshop participants examined the safety research needs for reactors in service, under construction and in development. They concluded that the NEA Committee on the Safety of Nuclear Installations (CSNI) needs to develop a long-term strategy in this area. The CSNI strategy should identify the key safety and risk issues associated with particular design concepts, which of these issues require experimental data, and the infrastructure required to gather this data.
Renewed interest in including nuclear energy in the energy mix of many member countries raises the question of potential raw material limits to nuclear energy growth. The NEA has therefore convened an ad hoc expert group to examine the issue. The expert group, which is comprised of representatives from NEA member countries, the European Union and the International Atomic Energy Agency, will consider all materials required for the construction and operation of nuclear power plants and their associated fuel cycle facilities. Expert group members have already carried out a preliminary assessment by comparing global resource estimates with the requirements arising from a hypothetical tenfold expansion of nuclear generating capacity. The expert group is also investigating other sources of data on raw material inputs, with a particular focus on specialty materials used in nuclear fuel manufacture. Once a complete list of critical material requirements is compiled, simulations of the impact on raw material supplies under more realistic scenarios of nuclear capacity development will be performed. An assessment of material requirements for new reactor designs will also be undertaken with input from nuclear power plant vendors. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/ndd/limits.html.
The NEA Working Party on Multi-scale Modelling of Fuels and Structural Materials for Nuclear Systems (WPMM) met for the first time on 15-16 January 2008 at the NEA offices in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. The WPMM will review and evaluate the multi-scale modelling and simulation techniques currently employed in the selection of materials used in nuclear systems. During this meeting WPMM members shared past experience in developing models for assessing nuclear materials and identified a number of areas of study that they plan to explore further. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/science/wpmm/.
The fourth NEA workshop on the coupled neutronics/thermal-hydraulics transient benchmark for pebble bed modular reactors was held on 21-25 January 2008 at the NEA offices. Workshop participants were trained in the use of the new DIREKT computer code (which performs time-dependent, two-dimensional simulations of thermal-hydraulic transients in gas-cooled nuclear reactors) and the modelling of the benchmark. Participants also worked on a series of steady state and transient problems with solutions provided by several independently developed computer codes. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/science/wprs/pbmr400/.
A new Research and test facilities database (RTFDB) has just been launched on the NEA website. The database, set up by the NEA Expert Group on Needs of R&D Facilities in Nuclear Science, was established as part of the expert group's worldwide review of the status of research and test facilities in the field of nuclear science and technology. Information in the database was initially collected from the internet and other published sources before being verified by independent reviewers. The database is available at www.oecd-nea.org/rtfdb/.
Nuclear data services
The following nuclear data libraries have recently been added to the evaluated nuclear data (EVA) database:
The EVA database contains a large number of evaluated data libraries, all in ENDF format; it can be consulted at www.oecd-nea.org/dbdata/eva/evaret.cgi.
The PADF-2007 and IRDF-2002 libraries are also available in the NEA-developed nuclear data display program JANIS. JANIS, now in its third release, is designed to facilitate the visualisation and manipulation of nuclear data. Its objective is to allow the nuclear data user to view numerical values and graphical representations without necessarily being familiar with the storage format. It offers maximum flexibility for the comparison of different nuclear data sets. More information is available at www.oecd-nea.org/janis/.
Computer program services
The NEA held a course on Analytical Benchmarks: Case Studies in Neutron Transport Theory on 30 January-1 February 2008 at the NEA offices in Issy-les-Moulineaux, France. The objective of the course was to give participants a grounding in the fundamental concepts of neutron transport theory, including recent theoretical and numerical advances in analytical benchmarking. Course participants included neutron transport method developers, teachers of reactor physics and neutron transport theory as well as several doctoral students. A list of the NEA courses in this field scheduled for 2008 can be found at www.oecd-nea.org/dbprog/.
