Stephanee's Smokey Eyes
Happy Monday! How was your weekend? It passed so fast to me. It's super cold here in Atlanta, especially for the south. Grrrrr it's 20 degrees and we don't even get any snow to make it fun! This weekend was crazy. One of my good friends' moms house burned down this weekend unexpectantly. The whole house is done...clothes, furniture, pictures and presents and all. It couldn't have come at the worse time. Fortunately everyone was safe and uninjured.
We spent the weekend coming together to try and gather supplies, toiletries, anything to help them get through this. When the unexpected like this happens, it makes you truly thankful for what you do have. Please keep my friend and her family in your prayers.
Meanwhile, it's getting closer and closer to Christmas. I'm excited to go home and spend time with my family. I'll be leaving Wednesday morning so you probably won't see a post in a few days with my parents' crazy dial up internet connection, lol.
In the meantime, I wanted to show you a picture of one of the models I worked with in the past. We went for a sexy smokey eye with a frosty lip. I actually used cream color base on her lips to give it the frosty feel.
Today I'm uploading a new video on Yaby Cosmetics...one of my new favs! Stay tuned for that! Moving forward, I'll be doing a few changes to my videos to try to standardize and improve them. I'll also be doing videos every Monday and Wednesday on a regular basis.
Till next time, Ciao Bellas!

Stocks Rise; Dow Edges Toward All-Time High
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Major U.S. stock averages were moving higher Thursday afternoon as a lower-than-expected revision in fourth-quarter gross domestic product data offset better-than-anticipated Chicago business activity and jobless claims reports.
The markets have largely continued to shrug off sequestration deadline concerns, with the Dow still hovering near its all-time closing high of 14,164 as monetary stimulus reassurances offset the fiscal drag.
"U.S. equity markets thus far have been resilient to political developments in Italy and looming federal spending sequestration, due to take effect on Friday," noted Bricklin Dwyer, an economist at BNP Paribas.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average was adding 54.26 points, or 0.39%, to 14,129.63.
Breadth was positive, with gainers outpacing laggards 25 to five. Home Depot (HD) , Coca-Cola(KO) , Hewlett-Packard(HPQ) and Verizon(VZ) were among the stocks edging higher.
Procter & Gamble (PG) , IBM(IBM) and United Health (UNH) were among the sharpest percentage blue-chip decliners.
The S&P 500 was up 7.57 points, or 0.50%, to 1523.56. The Nasdaq was higher by 16.60 points, or 0.52%, to 3178.86.
Most sectors in the broader market were in the green, led higher by consumer cyclicals, health care, and transportation. Only the basic materials sector was in the red.
Volumes were at just 2.03 billion shares on the Big Board and 1.13 billion on the Nasdaq. Advancers were edging decliners by a ratio of 1.8-to-1 on the New York Stock Exchange and 1.4-to-1 on the Nasdaq.
In U.S. economic news Thursday, the Chicago PMI ticked up to 56.8 in February from 55.6. Economists were expecting levels to fall to 54.
"Overall, this was a solid report -- consistent with the strong Empire State and Richmond Fed surveys, but in contrast to the headline decline in the Philly Fed survey -- and suggests upside risk on tomorrow's ISM manufacturing report," Jan Hatzius, chief U.S. economist at Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note.
The Labor Department said initial jobless claims in the week ended Feb. 23 were 344,000, a decrease of 22,000 from the previous week's upwardly revised 366,000. The four-week moving average was 355,000, a decline of 6,750 from the previous week's 361,750.
Continuing claims in the week ended Feb. 16 were 3.074 million, a fall of 91,000 from the preceding week's upwardly revised level of 3.165 million.
Economists, on average, predicted initial jobless claims of 360,000 and continuing claims of 3.15 million.
Cooper Howes, U.S. economist for Barclays, said that the initial jobless claims numbers were a "solid" improvement from the prior week and are the latest evidence that the labor markets are steadily improving.
The Bureau of Economic Analysis' second estimate on fourth-quarter gross domestic product was an increase of 0.1% versus a decrease of 0.1% in the previous estimate. Economists were expecting a revised increase of 0.5%.

Are you are a developer who has been frustrated by the pathetic state of the art in code search engines and code browsing experience on the web? Have you been longing for being able to view code with more aid than coloured words?
David Humphrey just released his DXR bombshell. The "basic" concept behind DXR is extraction of the rich semantic information gathered by tools like GCC, Spidermonkey and xpidl. This data is then coherently linked together into a pretty UI in order to provide cleverness during code browsing sessions.
DXR will be happy to answer seemingly trivial queries:
- List implementations of interfaces in C++ (and soon JS).
- Provide relevant search results by searching semantic data first. No, grep is no longer state of the art for searching code.
- Switch between definition and declaration.
- Walk up/down class hierarchies.
- Lookup typedefs, types, etc.
I've been wanting to see this sort of tool built on top information exposed by Dehydra since I got it working. Words can not express how pumped I am about DXR and the magic powers that we will be granting it.

Topic: Refactor controller method that is shared accross 2 others
this is actually a basic question but i had some errors when i tried it out so i figured i'd ask here.
i have 3 controllers Cat, Dog and Mouse.
Cat, Dog and Mouse have a common method in them: eat
here's a sample of Cat:
class Cat < ApplicationController
def eat
# do eat functionality
@cat = Cat.find(params[:id])
@cat.food = "Fish"
# some CRUD actions here
eat doesn't have it's own view.
how can i refactor this into a common controller file that the Cat, Dog and Mouse can share?
suppose the eat method did have a view, then can i refactor them the same way?

MSD gets good news at Truth in Taxation meeting
MARSHALL – Marshall School District Business Director Bruce Lamprecht provided a glimpse into the district's past and present financial positions and future outlook during the annual Truth in Taxation presentation at the Marshall School Board meeting Monday.
The mandatory presentation included background on school funding, property tax levies and budgets, information on the district budget and information on the district's proposed tax levy for taxes payable in 2014.
Lamprecht pointed out that public education has been traditionally strong in Minnesota. In fact, the state's average composite score on the ACT test (22.9) was the highest in the nation for the eighth straight year. At Marshall, the composite score average was 22.7.
"That's very good news," he said.
Minnesota also ranks high when it comes to the number of high school graduates who take the ACT assessment, which is the most commonly-taken standardized college entrance exam, with a 74 percent rate in 2013 compared to 54 percent nationally.
Lamprecht noted that school district funding is highly regulated by the state, which sets formulas to determine revenue, sets tax policy for local schools, sets maximum authorized property tax levy amounts and authorizes school board to submit referendums for operating and capital needs to voters for approval.
Lamprecht reported that state funding for schools has not kept pace with inflation, noting that 44.2 percent of districts in the state will continue to face projected budget shortfalls for fiscal years 2014 and 2015 despite the increased funding expected this year. The per-pupil revenue for fiscal year 2014-15 is projected to be $332 below the 2004-05 inflation-adjusted amount.
The impact of that long-lasting deficit is budget cuts and operating referendums across the state. Lamprecht noted that voters in 300 districts (89.3 percent of all districts in Minnesota) have approved an operating referendum levy, with a current state average of $920 per pupil unit. Of the 66 questions proposed this year, 58 passed. This past November, the Marshall proposal to increase its operating referendum by $150 per pupil unit to run concurrently with its current referendum of $675 failed by 22 votes.
"The funding has not kept up with inflation over the past 10 years or so," Lamprecht said. "And we've experienced both of these (budget cuts and operating referendums) in this district."
But things appear to be looking better for Marshall and other schools across Minnesota. The Marshall audit results for 2012-13 showed an ending general fund balance of $3,509,483, or 16.7 percent of expenditures, while the transportation fund showed an ending fund balance of $66,637 because of revenue coding changes.
The capital outlay fund ended with a balance of $644,496, exceeding the established goal of $400,000 by a good amount, Lamprecht said. The district food service fund showed a slightly less ending fund balance than projected, but the debt service fund balance is quite significant because of the bond refunding that took place.
"It's because of the refinancing," he said. "Last year, we received a large number, so that's why there's such a big difference."
Regarding the expenditure budget, the general fund accounts for 72 percent, followed by debt redemption (10 percent), community services (7 percent), transportation (4 percent), food service (4 percent) and capital outlay (3 percent).
The revised general fund budget for 2013-13 shows an excess of $114,478 in revenues over expenditure. That includes a transfer of $31,717 from the transportation fund to zero out the fund balance. It translates into a $3,594,844 ending fund balance or a 16.25 fund balance percentage, which is well above the district's approved goal of 8 percent.
"We're in pretty good shape," Lamprecht said.
Marshall's general fund revenues currently come from four sources. A total of 78 percent of revenue is provided by the state, 11 percent from local property tax levies, 8 percent from local and county revenues and 3 percent from federal sources.
Fortunately, Minnesota state aid for education has begun to reverse a 10-year decline, which in turn, has lowered school property taxes for payable 2014.
"That's good news, and it's a result of what's happened in the Legislature the last couple of years, and especially the most recent legislative session," Lamprecht said. "We're now in a good position in regards to cash balance, and it's because we are receiving 90 percent of our funding in our fiscal year and it's metered out, so that's good."
A total proposed school tax levy amount of $5,599,469.18 is to be levied in 2013 and collected in 2014, marking a Marshall district levy decrease of $581,607.81 (9.41 percent).
"That's a pretty significant amount," Lamprecht said.
The last time tax levy amounts decreased was in 2009, for taxes payable in 2010. A decrease of 1.27 percent was set back then, followed by a 4.09 percent increase in 2010, a 2.9 percent increase in 2011 and a 5.12 percent increase in 2012.
Lamprecht identified six main variables that cause property tax increases and decreases. The variables include changes in value of the individual property, changes in class rates/history, market value homestead exclusion, voter approved referendums, ongoing legislative action and changes in the total value of all property in the district. He also noted that the district has control over only one of the seven steps in establishing property taxes.
The proposed 2014 school taxes are expected to be dispersed to the general fund ($2,691,877.44) to provide funding for the district's instructional programs, alternative compensation, integration program and part of the cost for the maintenance of the technology infrastructure and for the purchase of instructional equipment, building maintenance and health and safety.
The community education fund ($187,117.65) will fund community education programs, such as Early Childhood Family Education. The debt service (including OPEB) fund ($2,720,474.09) is projected to be a levy for repayment of principal and interest on district debt.
The board will be asked to certify the 2014 property tax levy at the Dec. 16 meeting.

7.2 This appeal must be made within one semester by filing a Petition to Appeal a PD 2009-05 Decision with the Office of Undergraduate Studies.

On August 10, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton traveled to Accra, Ghana, where she attended the Ghanaian State Funeral of the late President John Atta Mills. In a statement on the passing of President Mills, Secretary Clinton said, "President Mills made a significant contribution to Ghana's democracy and development, and forged a strong and positive partnership with the United States. As the third president of modern Ghana, he worked to strengthen his country's democratic institutions and to expand prosperity for all of its people. He promoted regional peace and reinforced Ghana's reputation as a leader in Africa. President Mills was a champion for his nation and his loss will be felt around the world."
While in Accra, Secretary Clinton also had the opportunity to meet with President Mahama at this residence. In a background briefing, a senior State Department official described Ghana as an important democratic and development partners in Africa. The official said, "Mills was a very important figure. We expect to have an equally strong relationship with his successor."
President Mills was recently in the United States to attend the G-8 meeting at Camp David, and five weeks before that he was in the United States on a state visit to meet with President Obama. It was in Ghana on July 11, 2009, where President Obama outlined his Administration's policy in Africa. The President's strategy makes clear that the United States will, in the spirit of partnership and mutual respect, stand with the people of Africa in support of their aspirations for a shared future of freedom and prosperity.

Nicholas Deyoe: with throbbing eyesPosted by Paul Muller in CD Review, Uncategorized, tags: Formalist Quartet, Nicholas Deyoe, Populist Records, Red Fish Bule Fish
Nicholas Deyoe
with throbbing eyes
Formalist Quartet
Red Fish Blue Fish
Stephanie Aston / Brendan Nguyen
with throbbing eyes is an album of music composed by Nicholas Deyoe, heard in three different performance contexts: string quartet, percussion ensemble and voice accompanied by piano. According to the Populist Records website: "Nicholas Deyoe's debut album with throbbing eyes is a collection of chamber works composed between 2009 and 2011, each exploring the dominant themes in his recent music: noise, delicacy, drama, fantasy, and brutality." This CD was released in early 2012 but is worth looking up if you were not aware of its release.
The album opens with Images from a sleepless night performed by the Formalist Quartet. This piece is variously haunting, discordant and unnerving with high spiky pitches from the violin to start and long, slow tones in the lower strings. The sense of restlessness in the beginning of this track will be familiar to all who have experienced night time tossing and turning, waiting for sleep to come. The lines wander and search about, never quite settling in; it is 3 AM and your mind is still running in circles
The second half of the piece, however, is much slower and almost lethargic – exactly like those mornings when you try to waken from a short, deep slumber after a mostly sleepless night. The low, creaky cello line and high, seemingly vaporous violin tones combine to perfectly evoke that morning-after feeling. The playing of the Formalist Quartet is precise, highly crafted and equal to the images portrayed here. Both sections of this piece together are just 3:45, but perfectly capture the title.
The second track – again performed by the Formalist Quartet – is for every day is another view of the tentative past. This is a 32 minute piece, divided into several sections separated by short silences. The opening is tense and uncertain, filled with bits of dissonance and long questioning tones. The feeling here is bleak and lonely, often sharply punctuated with single pizzicato notes. At other times the feeling is aggressive in the lower registers or repetitive in the viola and violin. At 6:40 the sound becomes more animated and strident, then slows again, and finishing with a loud, tense chord. At 8:40 we hear more energetic interplay among the strings with the texture becoming more dense and pressing. Furious violin passages ensue ending in a sustained high pitch that is nicely played at pianissimo and very effective against a rough, dark drone sounding in the cello.
At 16:08 another series of strong flourishes are heard that congeal into several short, rough chords – there is a feeling of anger now. At 18:40 the tempo slows noticeably, as if the anger in the previous section has spent itself. Slow, quiet sounds are heard, again against the high, sustained violin tone and soon the feeling becomes more reconciled and restful. By 23:00 the pace becomes yet slower and the soft chords now seem tired – the feeling here is one of weariness.
At 25:30 the strings gather themselves, rallying with a bit more energy. The high pianissimo violin remains, a thread connecting the various sequences. The piece ambles along again, now resting, now questioning, but this is soon replaced with slower, mysterious sounds rising up from the lower strings. The piece becomes gradually softer and more distant, drifting quietly out of sight at the finish.
for every day is another view of the tentative past is challenging listening by any standard, but this music is like a carefully woven tapestry that gives up its secrets with closer inspection. The controlled and disciplined playing of the Formalist Quartet is critical to the success of this, but attentive listening to this work more than repays the effort. I can't remember a piece that revealed more on the second or third hearing. For all its complexity and intricacy, this will be a very satisfying listening experience for those who are willing to make the effort.
The third track is wir aber sind schon anders, a percussion piece performed by Red Fish Blue Fish. The translation of the title is "we are, however, different" and this begins with a quiet repeating phrase using a floor tom and vibraphone. Solemn and deliberate, like a procession in the darkness, it changes slightly but continuously as it proceeds along. This track is also separated into sections by short silences. Various percussion pieces enter and exit including bass drum, tympani, bongos and Thai gongs – but always in good balance. The vibraphone and glockenspiel give this piece a sense of luminous mystery while the drums punctuate the phrases or provide a steady rolling accompaniment.
wir aber sind schon anders is subtle and nuanced – even when the bass drum or congas are sharply struck. The range of contrast and variety of texture are a pleasure to hear – it draws the listener in and is like looking at a medieval wood carving with wonderfully intricate detail. The playing is excellent and precisely follows the changing contours of this piece – a fine example of how much variety can be conjured from carefully scored percussion.
The last group of pieces on this CD are collectively titled 5 McCallum Songs and these are a series of love songs for soprano and piano performed by Stephanie Aston and Brendan Nguyen. The text of the first of these, Love Poem I, provides the album title: "I want you to look at me with throbbing eyes, I want you to watch me through you."
This is spare music, with solitary piano chords tolling like clock tower chimes and some really lovely singing that seems to float airily above. The words of the text are plainly heard, intimately sung and well-matched to the music. The feelings conveyed by these pieces are variously anxious, wistful, plaintive, frustrating, yearning, angry – all of the emotions that are part of the subject. The accompaniment by Brendan Nguyen is nicely understated in a way that gives the singing by Ms. Aston plenty of expressive room. 5 McCallum Songs are the most direct and accessible pieces on this album and are all highly listenable.
This is a CD that will challenge the listener but whose carefully embroidered details and intricate constructions make the effort very worthwhile. with throbbing eyes is available from the Populist Records website.

TRAINING LEVEL: Basic
CLASS SIZE: Minimum: 20 Maximum: 30
NOTES:This training is a prerequisite of another NHI training and is offered at no cost.
Transportation agencies focusing on the use of sustainable, cost-effective, and environmentally conscious construction practices often consider in-place recycling techniques as a viable alternative to the more traditional rehabilitation techniques used on asphalt-surfaced pavements. NHI training 131050 Asphalt Pavement In-place Recycling Techniques is designed to help participants acquire necessary skills for selecting the appropriate in-place recycling technique for a given set of conditions, choosing the appropriate materials for the project, developing suitable specifications, and constructing those projects effectively.
The Asphalt Pavement In-place Recycling Techniques course includes two brief Web-based training (WBT) modules, and two days of instructor-led, classroom-based training (ILT). Through independent study, classroom interaction, and workshop activities, participants explore the current technologies available in the area of asphalt pavement in-place recycling. Two WBT lessons introduce pavement evaluation techniques and the three potential recycling techniques, along with the types of equipment commonly used for each. The classroom session focuses on project and technique selection and justification, materials considerations and mix design, construction specifications, and project control considerations during construction.
Upon completion of the course, participants will be able to:
This course is intended for State and local transportation agency engineers, such as pavement managers and maintenance engineers, and other agency personnel who are responsible for selecting, designing, or constructing the agency's asphalt pavement maintenance, resurfacing, rehabilitation, and reconstruction alternatives. The course particularly benefits those individuals responsible for selecting and designing asphalt in-place recycling projects, for writing effective specifications, or for inspecting asphalt in-place recycling projects during their construction. Contractors, consulting engineers, and industry representatives involved in asphalt pavement in-place recycling also will benefit from this course.
If you have questions about this NHI training, please contact NHI at

MAYA Commissions Concert Tuesday, June 8, 8pm Judson ArtsPosted by s21concerts in Concert Announcement, tags: "Sato Moughalian, Gabriel Erkoreka, Jacqui Kerrod, John Hadfield, MAYA, Robert Paterson, Yotam Haber
MAYA Commissions Concert, June 8, 2010, 8 PM, Judson Memorial Church, New York
New York, NY – MAYA, the trio of John Hadfield, percussion; Jacqueline Kerrod, harp; Sato Moughalian flute, will be presented by JudsonArts, at
55 Washington Square South, New York, in a program of new works, featuring four world-premiere performances on Tuesday, June 8 at 8 PM. Admission is free.
The program includes the premiere of ASKLEPIOS by the Spanish composer Gabriel Erkoreka, winner of the Premio Reina Sofia 2007, Spain's highest honor for composers, and the first MAYA commission to be published internationally, by Oxford University Press. Also receiving its first performance is different voices together, a multimedia work by the American-Israeli composer Yotam Haber incorporating 38 recordings of cantors from the Tempio Maggiore, Rome's central synagogue, recorded in the 1940s and 50s–a collection unearthed by the composer in 2008. Also featured is The Book of Goddesses, a nine-movement work by the New York composer Robert Paterson, inspired by the book of the same name by Brooklyn artist/writer Kris Waldherr. MAYA percussionist John Hadfield is represented by two works: Theoretical Wall, for Garrahand, an electronic, tunable Argentinian tongue drum, and laptop with Abelton Live, as well as Sisters, a work written for MAYA in 2008. Sound design is by Tom Beyer. All the composers will be in attendance.
The concert is a co-presentation of JudsonArts, Michael Conley, Director, and Perspectives Ensemble. Generous support for these commissions came from The New York State Council on the Arts, the Jerome Foundation, the American Composers Center, and the Spanish Ministry of Culture. Additional support for the performance comes from the Jarvis and Constance Doctorow Family Foundation and The Foundation for Iberian Music.
MAYA was formed in 2005, and performs new music, world music, and incorporates improvisations into its performances. The mission of MAYA is to perform, record, and commission music from a broad variety of composers with a special emphasis toward nurturing relationships with emerging composers, as well as expanding its repertoire with music from a variety of cultures. MAYA's first CD, MAYA In The Spirit, was released in December 2007 on the Perspectives Recordings label. The trio's second recording, on the Innova label, features music of Neil Rolnick, on his album The Economic Engine. The New York Times said: "The brightly spirited 'Uptown Jump' (2006), a study in rich, tactile textures and inventive variation, juxtaposes jazz moves with ragalike percussion patterns. MAYA, a trio of flute, harp and percussion, plays it with grace and energy." Robert Paterson's The Book of Goddesses was just recorded for the American Modern Recordings label. MAYA made its first US tour in 2009. The group has been the recipient of grants and awards from the Argosy Foundation, Jerome Foundation, Lower Manhattan Cultural Council, the New York State Council on the Arts and the Spanish Ministry of Culture.

quote Trafalgarid be happy with £350I'm not gonna lie, it's certainly something I've been thinking about, too. Once I get through my backlog of titles that I actually want to play and haven't been coerced into buying by Valve's ridiculous sales!
Steamcalculator says my account is worth $1864.76 USD, and to be honest I would be happy if I got maybe a third of that amount for it were I to sell. I would then use the money to re-purchase the few games I'd want to keep from my list, and still have a bunch of cash left over to, idk, survive what has been a particularly difficult year without relying on my student overdraft again!
I would be interested to find out if Valve has ever actually chased anyone up about this practice in the past..?
quote D Ray Silvafinally using a custom IDBronze0800
Go on Steam, click "Community," at the top, then "Profile," underneath it, and then right-click and choose "copy page URL." Paste it somewhere to see what your ID is if you don't know.
So for example, mine is,
but I only need the tothehopeless part for the calculator.
If it's still not working, I'm not sure what the problem is.
quote D Ray SilvaBronze0800 Hm. Works for me. Are you sure you're using your right Steam ID? It's whatever the name is on your community profile URL.
You also have to make sure your account isn't private. It wasn't working for me either at first, then I realized I wasn't using my right ID.
quote D Ray SilvaThere's a few on Ebay here and there. I was considering selling mine for the same reason. And then I realized that I most likely wouldn't get anything near what it's worth.
Plus you know, Skyrim.
quote bronze0800You can't sell them specifically because of Steam's Terms of Service. If Valve ever goes into court with somebody saying "It's mine I should be able to sell it", they could change, but for now, it's not allowed by Valve, and could get your account nuked into the ground.if you read the news articles in the links
its says u can pretty much sell them. kinda hard to exsplain enless you read the articles
quote harbin91You can change the steam ID, which changes the url and such. So the buyer could practically make it there own, even though their log in name would be stuck. But that's not the part that shows in game, so that shouldn't be a problem.Wouldn't say it's illegal but against Steam's ToS and Subscriber Agreement, meaning that if you are caught you would probably be at risk of losing your account. The Steam account would be hard to change after selling it anyway since the username cannot be changed, and certain details would be stuck that way. If you lost it due to going against the ToS then you wouldn't have a legal right to claim.

Had a great time at the Razz Room seeing Justin Vivian Bond. If you are a fan of great cabaret, please do not miss this performer. She is wonderful live. As for the venue, it is very nice, comfortable, not fancy. Staff is very nice. Service is excellent. Menu could stand some improvement. I didn't try the food because nothing appealed to me. Prices are slightly high. Very happy that a genuine cabaret has opened in New Hope! Let's keep it in business.

In fairness, I can't *really* review the experience except to say that I showed up (after driving for an hour) and was told that the show had been canceled and yet no one informed us in advance. And they didn't notify Goldstar to tell us.

Hello! This is my first post here. My husband and I co-sleep wiht our seven month old little boy who has never slept through the night. Usually he would only wake up to have a bottle once and go back to sleep. I have talked to his doctor who told me that he is just a hungry baby. For the past two weeks or so all of a sudden he is now waking up two to three times in the middle of the night wanting a bottle. He has also stopped drinking as much from his bottle during the day as he used to and seems uninterested in his solid food. We have only been able to get him to take a couple of bites of his baby food. I know he is teething but that never seems to affect his appetite before. Iĺm at a loss as to what to do. I have tried to just put him back to sleep when he wakes up but he screams until we feed him, then he goes right back to sleep. Most of my friends are advocates of the CIO method and I am not so I am getting a lot of slack for ôspoilingö him. My friends are telling me that we are starting a bad habit and he is never going to sleep through the night. Has anyone experienced anything like this? Can you think of any reason why his eating habits would change? What can I do to help him eat during the day and SLEEP at night? Is there any other option other than just letting him scream himself to sleep? Thanks in advance!

What foods have you started? Are you combination feeding or just on formula? Other the his eating and sleeping habits is there anything else we should know like if he is considered a small baby or was a premie?
My friends are telling me that we are starting a bad habit and he is never going to sleep through the night.
Here is some API links that might apply to your concerns
How do YOU feel about waking up to feed him more? Do you feel rushed to get him on solids? Are you afraid that something is abnormal or unusual about his sleeping or eating habits?
7m can be a big growth spurt for babies. Is he begining to move about more, maybe even crawl? Teething can happen more at this time too even if you don't see it is his mouth yet.
Welcome to our forum, we are happy to have you here.

MomMom and devoted wife to 3 creatures of delight
are you sure he's hungry? i ask b/c i dealt w/this w/my 2nd and what i finally realized is that he was really thirsty. even now, at 3 1/2, he sleeps w/his sippy cup of water and drinks out of it constantly throughout the night. i think it's a combination of our house being really dry and his particular body chemistry. it may be worth a try to offer him water to see if his thirst is satisfied.
however, it could be that he truly is hungry and NEEDS the extra calories at night. if you just make him CIO, that not only traumatizes him by separating from you, but it's also starving him when what he really needs is you and food. some babies (and people) have high metabolisms and need to eat around the clock. it's not anything you're doing wrong, it's just how his body may work.
Ladies, thank you so much for your responses. It's very hard to find someone to turn to when all of your friends have a totally different approach to parenting. To answer a few of your questions:
What foods have you started?
Are you combination feeding or just on formula?
Other the his eating and sleeping habits is there anything else we should know like if he is considered a small baby or was a premie?
I am a working mommy so him waking up so much at night now is making for a very sleepy mommy! I do find it odd that he is not drinking his bottles during the day as much but I think it may be related to teething. He already has two bottom teeth and is working on some more. He IS all of a sudden becoming mobile. He went from very occasionally rolling from back to belly to rolling all over the floor and now he is getting on his hands and knees and rocking.
I never even thought that he may be thirsty. He does not drink the whole bottle usually just a couple of ounces so I only make 4 oz bottles when he wakes up at night. The problem is I can't get him to drink water (or juice for that matter) he makes a funny face and then refuses it. I have tried both out of a sippy cup and the bottle.

I understand his dislike of meat in those jars. When I fed my first babyfood I would always try a bit myself so I understood where he was coming from when he didn't like something......those meat ones have an aquired taste for sure!!!
I would say water down, slowly the formula so it is not a drastic change. Often babies sleep changes when they are doing more developmental, so that is totally expected.

As mentioned previously, there are various details of every relationship that are utterly important. Now to break them down and explain their importance briefly:
Marriage & Relationships-
Every romance has to start somewhere, but they don't always end happily. The beginning of a relationship is somewhat like the first day at a new job; it's smooth at first but often becomes a bit bumpy. Marriage itself is a whole new beginning; it brings more responsibilities just as a promotion at work does.
Without the flare of an old fashioned date out to dinner with your significant other, your relationship won't flourish more than a naked tree in the dead of winter. Whether you're married or not, taking your woman on a date every so often is essential.
Taking care of yourself and your wife/girlfriend makes a significant difference in regards to the strength of your relationship. Physical and mental health both are equally important and should be tended to properly according to both partner's condition.
Sexual Health-
Having a strong sexual relationship with your partner is crucial, without that spark of sex both persons are likely to get mutually bored of each other. It doesn't have to be every single day and night but people who have sex at least 4 times a week are more likely to sustain powerful feelings towards each other.
Being capable of supporting you and your family is extremely important above all. However, tensions may rise without the ability to treat your beloved girlfriend/wife to extravagant gifts or at least a vacation every now and then, rather then wasting your cash on late night poker games with your buddies.
Finding humor in almost any situation is a gift that not everyone possesses, but it can come in handy if you possess such skill. Hilarity in general is a necessity if you wish to spend your life with someone special. A quick laugh to help everyone forget everyday hardships is a treasure to behold.

Leading mainboard makers, ABIT, ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI, propose to adjust multiplier settings of Intel's central processing units in order to achieve higher system performance when overclocking on their latest breed of mainboards. However, not all the mainboards and not all the microprocessors can really benefit from the technologies.
Intel's Pentium 4 processors based on the
CPU frequency is calculated by its multiplier multiplied on the processor system bus. While historically neither of those two constituents were strictly set, Intel has locked CPU multipliers in the late nineties for all of its Intel Pentium II, Intel Pentium III, Intel Pentium 4 and Intel Celeron processors. As a consequence, overclockers had to increase processor system bus to increase clock-speeds.
Since clock-speeds of AGP, PCI and PCI Express buses are determined by special dividers that divide clock-speed of PSB, overclocking of system bus stressed system components along with the chip itself, as PC infrastructure is also certified to work only on designated speeds of PCI, AGP and other buses. While some chipsets can dynamically adjust such dividers, locked CPU multiplier still somewhat restricted overclocking capabilities of microprocessors, particularly on Intel chipsets, which could not alter bus dividers without special tweaks from mainboard makers.
Thanks to the "multiplier indulgence" for the
ABIT calls it capability to unlock CPU multiplier "CPU Accelerator" and currently enables it, just like other manufacturers on Socket 775 mainboards based on i915- and i925X-series as well as on Socket 478 mainboards powered by i875P and i865PE chipsets.
Unfortunately, Intel's latest stepping of

Comments about Learning Resources Playfoam® Combo 20 Pack:
Immediately started finding balls everywhere. Our daughter has a stuffed bunny that she sleeps with every night. The balls were so entangled in the bunny's fur that we had to wash it overnight. The balls then got all in our washing machine and dryer, and over everything else that we washed. I am not one to write reviews, but wanted to warn other parents about this!

We have an almost 3 year old - we bought this last night and it was a hit - not just with our Son but with us! It allows him to be creative, make things and we don't have to worry about it sticking to the rug, floor or us! Not sure what it's made of but it stays together and allows you to make things - we even added pipe cleaners and googly eyes to make bugs! Great product - wish we had found it sooner!
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
Perfect For Goodie Bags/Stocking Stuffer
By The Learning Mommy
from Sharpsburg, Ga
About Me Education Oriented, First Time Parent, Stay At Home Parent
My 4 year-old loves his Playfoam! We use it for everyday fun play and during our "learning time." My son is always excited to form the Playfoam into whatever we are currently learning about; letters, numbers, animals, etc. I recently purchased the 20 pack to use throughout the coming months. I will pack a few of the individual Playfoam packets to bring on an upcoming trip for hours of mess free, creative fun. Others will be saved to use as holiday stocking stuffers and for birthday party goodie bags. My only complaint is with the sparkle packs. The glitter does come off and is a hassle to clean, but I simply save those packs for outside play. I imagine they would be perfect for princess/fairy themed play.

I purchased this item when it was listed on Zulily for my daughter's 4th birthday. It is amazing! She has now had it over 6 months and it is still going strong. She mixed all the colors into one big mound and uses it for so many different things. She makes animals out of it, pretends it is food for her dinosaurs, makes costumes for her dinosaurs, etc, etc, etc! We keep the big pile stored in a Tubberware bowl when she isn't using it but it gets used almost daily and still hasn't dried out. The colors have faded a lot, but she doesn't care and neither do it. She also has gotten it on the carpet and even stepped on it and squished it right in. It came right up. This is one of these best inventions ever!

My 4 year old Loves PlayFoam. She loves the variety of colors. She likes to mold it into items, shapes and designs. She really loves mixing all the colors together.I love PlayFoam because if it is left out, it never dries up. PlayFoam does not stick to the furniture or clothing either. It has sparkles in it so make sure it is used in the play area or on a surface you can wipe because it will be decorated with sparkles :), but they wipe off.

Enstrom Uncovers Two-Seat TH180 Helicopter
New variant shares the same general shape as the three and five-seat models.
At Heli-Expo 2014 in Anaheim, Enstrom Helicopter of Menominee, Mich., pulled the wraps off of a brand new design – a two-seat, piston helicopter. The aircraft, dubbed the TH180, shares the same general shape of the larger three- and five-seat Enstrom products, but scaled down to accommodate just two people.
"The TH180 is designed primarily as a training helicopter," said Orlando Alaniz, Enstrom's director of marketing. "In addition, the TH180 will be well suited for other missions, such as patrol, surveillance, or personal transport."

A fuel-injected, Lycoming HIO-390 piston engine will drive the TH180's high inertia main rotor. And in the company's attempt to appeal to helicopter flight schools, the designers included an engine governor, shock-absorbing skids, sturdy airframe, and what Alaniz described as "excellent autorotation capabilities."
The TH180 "is also designed with the flight instructor in mind," Alaniz added. "It has a quiet cabin with plenty of head and leg room." Alaniz did not say what the TH180 would cost, but did say that maintenance would be economical.
Enstrom has already received orders from launch customers Indiana Helicopters in Goshen, Ind., and Sharkey's Helicopters of West Lebanon, N.H.

Here's the final set of pics from this batch of dough. Ten days in the cooler and the flavor was, I think, the best I've ever achieved, like a mild, rich sourdough.
Can I know dough formula for this recipe? and can you indicate how much expansion you got over the 10 days?
Sfermentation). I think the longevity of Glutenboy's dough could be extended by a few more days by using cold/cool water and shortening the initial proof before refrigerating but the downside of doing that is that the dough isn't really all that usable before, say, two or three days.
Before u cut the bulk dough to portions....do u do any punch&folds? also, when you take the dough balls out of the cold, do you wait a certain time or look for a specific amount of expansion?

All William James College students complete four years of part-time field placement. Years I and II are practica, and years III and IV are designated as internship. Requirements for practica are as follows:
First-year students spend a minimum of 640 hours (16 hours per week) at their field sites; second year practicum students spend a minimum of 800 hours (20 hours per week) at their sites. Practica typically run from late August through mid June. A student seeking to commit more time to a site must have prior approval of his/her William James College faculty advisor.
All practicum students should receive at least one hour of individual supervision and either a second hour of individual supervision or 90 minutes of group supervision with 4 students maximum. At least one of the supervisors must be by a licensed psychologist/health service provider. All supervisors must be either licensed psychologists; licensed independent clinical social workers, licensed mental health counselors or board eligible or certified psychiatrists. An orientation to the site and weekly structured learning activities must be included in the student's training program. A minimum of one hour per week of these learning activities and/or additional mentoring is required for students at the practicum level of training.
Practica have training goals consistent
with the curricular goals of Years I and II. At this stage, field
placements emphasize exposure to varied populations and life span
issues, theoretical orientations, assessment procedures and modalities
of intervention. Students progress is assessed on the acquisition of
particular knowledge, skills and attitudes. Only after successful
completion of relevant coursework and practica, and after being
certified "internship ready" by William James College may the student proceed with
internship training.

Hi, Dunno if this is the right place to ask for advice, but my hard drive died yesterday...and took with it my Photo & Designer 6 serial number.I thought I'd backed it up...I hadn't (sound of smacked forehead and hyperventilation). Has anyone else had this happen to them? How did you /should I resolve this nightmare. I've been using Xara since it's inception and don't know what I'd do without it.

National Marine Day
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Stan Keyes Hamilton West, ON
Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to rise in celebration of National Marine Day. Today in Ottawa, representatives of marine communities from across Canada are meeting with government officials to discuss ways to ensure a healthy, safe, efficient and competitive shipping industry.
Through technological advancement and a highly skilled workforce, the marine community continues to be an effective and efficient component of Canada's transportation infrastructure. As the most environmentally responsible mode of transportation, the marine industry in Canada is well positioned to support the nation's emissions reduction goals in the coming years.
In my own riding of Hamilton West, the livelihood of thousands of women and men depends upon the competitive future of marine shipping in Canada. The same is true in hundreds of communities across our great country.
Therefore, I ask my hon. colleagues to join me in welcoming members of our country's marine community and wish them well during National Marine Day.

Mr. Speaker, after a decade CAVEAT has closed its doors. CAVEAT is a victims' rights group well known in this country for pioneering many of the victims' rights that have come to us.
CAVEAT was begun by Priscilla de Villiers who lost a child to a criminal. Through just common, plain folk that were involved in CAVEAT a lot of good has been done in this country. They worked very closely with many people across the country on victims' rights for all Canadians.
I would also like to thank a member of the provincial CAVEAT group, Chris Simmons, who became their president. Chris and Sue lost their young daughter as a result of criminal action. They have helped so many other victims across the country.
I would also like to thank those who carry on the torch in many victims' issues, like Steve Sullivan with the victims group here in Ottawa. Victims' rights have yet more to come.
Marine Industry
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Hélène Scherrer Louis-Hébert, QC
Mr. Speaker, today representatives of Canada's marine industry are here to meet government officials and members of parliament to discuss a partnership that will guarantee a healthy, effective and competitive industry.
After carrying over 400 million tonnes of cargo last year, evaluated at over $80 billion, the Canadian marine industry played an integral role in the economic health of our country. Furthermore, as the most environmentally responsible mode of transport, the marine industry in Canada is well placed to support the gas emission reduction objectives the country has set itself for the coming year.
Over half of international cargo trade is moved by water. The marine communities across the country are eager to work with all governments so as to be ready to meet the environmental and economic challenges of our great nation.
I invite my colleagues and all Canadians to welcome the members of the marine community to Ottawa. I wish them as well great success on National Marine Day.

Bill Blaikie Winnipeg—Transcona, MB
Mr. Speaker, the decision of the U.S. supreme court yesterday to criminalize the use of marijuana for medical purposes and strike down state laws, which permitted the same, reveals the tragic dogmatism at the heart of the official American attitude toward drugs. They are committed to a prohibitionist, universally criminalizing strategy that is ineffective and particularly unfair to Americans in need of cannabis for therapeutic purposes.
Canada fortunately seems tentatively headed in a more intelligent and compassionate direction. Not only have our courts ruled differently on medical marijuana and our government responded accordingly but there is a growing chorus of established opinion for a different approach to the possession of marijuana for personal use.
The Canadian Medical Association has joined the Canadian Association of Police Chiefs in asking that such an approach be seriously considered. These voices should be seriously listened to. Canadians and their government should continue to seek a superior alternative to the failed approach entrenched in the United States of America.
International Day Of Families
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, this being the Semaine québécoise de la famille, as well as the International Day of Families, I wish to say how important the family unit is to people's social and emotional development.
The Government of Quebec has understood this and that is why it looks after its children. Through family allowances, $5 day care and a progressive tax system, Quebec takes families' needs into account and thus helps young families to balance work and family responsibilities. In addition, Quebec will soon be introducing a parental leave plan which will refuse to treat a pregnant woman as someone who is losing her job, if the federal government stops putting obstacles in our way.
Despite the fact that the federal government saves over $70 million annually through $5 day care and refuses to recognize the Quebec consensus on parental leave, Quebec stands as a model when it comes to family policy.
International Day Of Families
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Yvon Charbonneau Anjou—Rivière-Des-Prairies, QC
Mr. Speaker, I wish to remind the House of Commons and all Canadians that the International Day of Families, which is observed on May 15, is a very special day for families the world over.
This year is also the International Year of Volunteers and I invite members to reflect upon the important contribution families make to the voluntary sector. Families are the cornerstone of society. It is through families that we learn to be caring, responsible adults.
Offering families the support of the community is one of the best investments we could make in the long-term health and well-being of Canadian society.
Police Week
Statements By Members

Peter MacKay Pictou—Antigonish—Guysborough, NS
Mr. Speaker, as police forces all across Canada celebrate Police Week, I rise in honour of the brave men and women from New Glasgow to New Westminster who work tirelessly to protect the public and maintain law and order.
Commencing in 1970, Police Week brings public recognition to the valuable work of our local provincial and national police forces and it highlights the continued need to give police the resources necessary to fight crime and improve public safety.
Police have lobbied the Liberal government for legislative action. They want meaningful, specific legislation creating stiffer penalties for serious offences, efforts to streamline procedure, technical upgrades and a national sex offender registry. Routinely we see Liberal half measures and complicated, cumbersome legislation which often drags on for years.
As the solicitor general will attend tomorrow's Police Week event, Rendez-vous 2001, here on Parliament Hill, I encourage him to listen to police in attendance and respond to their concerns with meaningful legislation.
We want to thank the police everywhere very much.
Missile Defence System
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Aileen Carroll Barrie—Simcoe—Bradford, ON
Mr. Speaker, Canada's silence on the Bush administration's missile defence system is being seen as an agreement bordering on complicity.
We need to speak out clearly against this flawed proposal which not only fails to accomplish its objective of nuclear deterrence but in fact increases the likelihood of nuclear proliferation.
What deterred before still deters today. The anti-ballistic missile treaty is necessary to the international stalemate. The abandonment of this treaty would take the lid off nuclear non-proliferation and essentially kickstart nuclear rearmament as states, such as China, Russia and India, perceive themselves at risk.
This government must be firm in denying support for such a destabilizing doctrine and, in so doing, be consistent with our foreign and defence policies.
There are times when saying no to a neighbour and ally is difficult. It does not absolve us of our responsibility to do so. There should be no silence on the front or back benches regarding this tragically flawed proposal.
National Mining Week
Statements By Members
May 15th, 2001 / 2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
John Duncan Vancouver Island North, BC
Mr. Speaker, today marks the beginning of National Mining Week which is celebrated annually to increase public awareness of the importance of mining.
How often do Canadians think about mining, minerals and metals and the crucial role they play? About 400,000 Canadians think about it every day because their livelihood depends on mining.
Minerals and metal exports represent 13% of total Canadian exports, 70% of the total volume handled at Canadian ports, and more than half of all total rail freight revenue. Canadian mining is a global leader. It is a productive and innovative sector closely linked to the knowledge based technology driven global economy.
I encourage all Canadians to reflect on our mining heritage and to recognize mining's contribution to our prosperity and to our international reputation as a centre of mining excellence.
The Economy
Oral Question Period

Stockwell Day Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, one economist after another is saying that the government's budget numbers simply do not add up. For instance, we have the former assistant deputy minister to the finance minister on record as saying that the government just never added those numbers together, so we are in the whole by $1.5 billion. This confirms what others are saying.
Now that the evidence is mounting, will the finance minister admit that we are headed to a planning deficit by at least the year 2004?
The Economy
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, we are in the fifth year of a surplus, something that has never been seen in Canada in many years. We remember very well that for months and months they were telling us that we were always too prudent in our analysis.
Now the big problem they face is that yes, we predicted a surplus of $10 billion and it will be $15 billion. We are not going in the direction of having a deficit. We are doing exactly the contrary at this moment.
The Economy
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Stockwell Day Leader of the Opposition
He avoided the question, Mr. Speaker. I can assure him that I have never accused a Liberal spender of being too prudent. I have never said that.
Canadians have worked too hard to see the deficit eliminated. They are still working hard, too hard, to see it squandered because of poor planning on behalf of and on the part of the government.
Will the Prime Minister commit to and charge his finance minister with tabling a five year update, as the finance minister has done in the past, to try to give assurance? Now he is talking about a two year update as if there is something to hide in year three. Will he tell his finance minister to table a five year update as he has in the past?
The Economy
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, I will tell the Minister of Finance to do exactly what he has done in the last eight years, and that is to be a good Minister of Finance and produce more surpluses in the years to come.
The Economy
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Canadian Alliance
Stockwell Day Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I think that he said no.
It is very clear that this government is going to take the contingency reserve and use it to pay for its election promises.>
Will the Prime Minister tell us here and now that he will not dip into the reserve, except in the event of an emergency?
The Economy
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Jean Chrétien Prime Minister
Mr. Speaker, the word contingency reserve means for use in the event of an emergency. That is why we have a contingency reserve. Why? Because emergencies sometimes arise.
So we will not use the reserve if there is no emergency and, if there is no emergency, we will once again use the contingency reserve to pay down the debt.

ANAHEIM, Calif. (March 9, 2007)
- USA Volleyball has announced that Portland, Ore., and Green Bay, Wis., will host the first two weekends of domestic competition when the U.S. Men's Volleyball Team plays in the 2007 FIVB World League.
The FIVB World League is an elite men's volleyball competition in which the world's best teams are divided into four pools and play for six straight weekends. Winners from each pool go on to the finals, along with the host country and a wild-card pick. The 2007 FIVB World League will be an important tune-up for the U.S. Men as they prepare for qualifying events for the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China.
The other teams in Pool B with Team USA are Italy, ranked No. 2 in the world, France, ranked seventh, and Japan, which is ranked 10th.
The U.S. Men, ranked eighth in the world, will square off twice against France at 7 p.m. PT on Saturday, May 26 and at 5 p.m. PT on Sunday, May 27 at the University of Portland Chiles Arena.
Tickets are available through America's Best at www.americasbestusa.com or by calling (503) 936-3203. Ticket prices have been announced at $10, $15 and $20 for the matches.
The following weekend, Team USA will move on to the Resch Center in Green Bay to face Japan at 7 p.m. CT on both Friday, June 1 and Saturday, June 2.
Tickets will go on sale March 24 at all Oneida Casino Ticket Star locations, the Resch Center Box Office, by phone at (800) 895-0071 or by visiting www.ticketstaronline.com. The prices are $15 for a single night match (June 1 or 2) and $25 for both nights.
Ticket and site information for the final domestic weekend of World League, to be played against Italy on the weekend of June 15-17, will be announced soon.
ESPNU will broadcast all the matches in the United States on the same day in which the match is played. It will also broadcast the World League Finals.
"Brian Parrott in Portland has organized many successful matches for us, including the sold-out matches between the United States and the Soviet Union in 1985 in Portland and Seattle," said USA Volleyball CEO Doug Beal. "He puts on quality sporting events that get spectators in the seats.
"You can't say enough about Green Bay as a sports city," Beal continued. "Its support of the Packers is unmatched in any other NFL city and we hope to get similar support for our team."
The U.S. Men will play six straight weekends of World League tournaments from May 25-June 30. The World League finals are set for July 11-15.
U.S. Men's Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon is looking forward to seeing his team improve on its 10th-place finish at the 2006 World League.
"It's a very difficult schedule. We will have to play in North America, Asia and Europe over the six weeks," he said. "But it's really, really good for our team to be playing matches against these opponents.
"We are going to be using World League to look at different lineups in preparation for the NORCECA Championships and FIVB World Cup tournament. Those tournaments will be the first steps to our Olympic qualifying."

The place is run by John Andrade, who also owns Meridian Pint and Asylum. Asylum, the dungeon-like metal bar that has been on 18th Street since 1997, isn't closing, but it will return to being a basement-only bar.
Andrade and his team stripped down the space to expose brick walls and covered other sections with weathered old boards of mushroom wood, reclaimed from Amish barns in Pennsylvania. The new bar counter is one of the most striking in the neighborhood; Check out the bar stools made from old barrels.
Andrade added a new smoker in the kitchen, and the menu boasts that all the barbecue is slow-cooked over hickory and used bourbon barrels. The espresso-rubbed beef brisket seems like the highlight so far, though I was impressed with the vegan smoked tofu barbecue sandwich. (Asylum is known for its vegan menu.) Smoked for a couple of hours, the tofu is dressed with cole slaw on a bun. It had a good flavor, but a squirt of Smoke and Barrel's house barbecue sauce really livened it up. Another winner: fried okra, which arrives in a bowl looking like tater tots.
Meridian Pint beer director Sam Fitz has stocked the bar with 20 quality craft beers. Some were chosen to pair with barbecue, including the dark, rich Uerige Sticke altbier from Dusseldorf, Germany, and the Sierra Nevada/Dogfish Head collaboration Life and Limb. There are also a few rauchbiers, or beers brewed with smoked malt for a distinctive flavor. Aecht Schlenkerla Marzen tastes like bacon in a glass; I much preferred the Haandbryggeriet Royk Uten Ild, a Norwegian beer with a subtler smoke flavor. Most drafts cost $6-$8. (For opening night, there will be a wooden keg of Schlenkerla on top of the bar.)
The "Barrel" in the name refers to bourbon, and Smoke and Barrel has a well-chosen selection of mostly high-end and small-batch bourbons from Kentucky. It will be tough to compete with Bourbon and Jack Rose down the street, but Smoke and Barrel has a secret weapon: Boilermaker cocktails. Pairing beer with a shot of whiskey is an old tradition, but a lot of thought has been put into the flavor profiles of these Boilermakers. In the Governor Hal, for example, a shot of sweet Woodford Reserve is poured into a pint glass, and then topped with citrusy, hoppy Gubna IPA from Oskar Blues.
The menu is still being tweaked, but Smoke and Barrel looks like a solid addition to the growing number of non-college-party bars in Adams Morgan.
-- Fritz Hahn (Sept. 26, 2011)
