13 Year-Old Releases First App, Mad Pigs
You're Ol'Farmer. Ol'Farmer has been having a hard time harvesting his crops because of trouble with the local "mad pigs." The farmer navigates through 60 total levels dealing with various problems including different types of pigs, electric fences, and ham-shooting turrets the pigs have set up. Having problems with a level? Just use one of the bacons (three obtainable per world) to unlock the next level.
We reached out to young Mr. McGraw to ask him about the development of his app. We found out that since Jack didn't have enough time to learn to code because of his schoolwork, he used GameSalad, a development tool to create apps on iOS and Android without knowing how to code. But he's hoping someday to learn Objective C or Lua. Jordon Brownlee, a friend of his, provided all of the hand-drawn artwork in Mad Pigs. Playing games on his own iPhone and seeing some of the no-so-great apps get accepted into the App Store (I'm with you there!) inspired him to go off and create his own game. Thanks for chatting with us, Jack!

Another Canuck
I have been a member for awhile lurking the site and gleening all sorts of great information. I have been boating\sailing since I was 12. (9 if you include the raft I built which sank on its maiden voyage). We hail out of Kingston Ontario Canada on a 1967 Hinterhoeller HR 28. This old girl (the boat not my wife) was in need of much work and your site has been a great source of information, inspiration and advice. When the boat was purchased, We sailed the boat 75 miles home. The engine died 5 miles into the journey. Undaunted, we sailed the remaining 70 miles engineless. That was 4 years ago and we have remained ardent engineless sailors since. Again thank you |
Good to have you aboard!
Welcome aboard. Good to see another Great Lakes sailor here.
Maybe I'll see ya if you ever sail west. |
Welcome aboard fellow Canuck

Perfect weather day—again—and the riders charged. Snowbasin Dew Tour Slopestyle finals went down early with decent sized crowd and all sorts of gnar' trickery. Did anyone expect less? The women put on a hell of a show, definitely upping the riding level from the Breck stop of the tour. Spencer O'Brien, who got fourth in Colorado, stepped into first today with two stomped runs. The back five, and her badass switch back five to front five combo on the jump line settled it. She was feeling, "awesome" and stepped up the third jump in her second run, with a hefty front seven. Jenny Jones stomped front five, to Cab five to front seven for second place. Megan Ginter got third.
Yale Cousino started the men's division off with a hefty backside truckdriver ten. And they were off … Somehow the Norwegian duo of Andreas Wiig and Torstein Horgmo didn't make the podium today. Both riders fell at least once. Wiig was looking good with the rodeo nine to switch back nine to front ten sequence but that was as good as it got for him. The podium ended with Sage Kotsenburg in third—he nailed Cab nine, back ten double, to front ten in his first run. Kid's not scared to chuck the twelve, either. In second place today, following strong on his first place in Breck, was the amazingly talented Tyler Flanagan. His full run went like this: switch boardslide to front board on the kink, gap Cab 270, first jump cab nine, back 10 double, front 10, and on the last tube-rail thingy, a 50-50 to back three out. Tyler also had the best style on the rails, to beef it up. Chas Guldemond won it. After posting a huge score in his first run, Chuck-G went for the 1440. You will want to see the video for this one. A lot of solid riding went down today, this is just the short and dirty version. Hope it's enough for you. And so, that's it for a very extreme weekend in Utah. Next stop, the Dew Tour finals at Mount Snow, Vermont. Smell ya, there.

For the past two decades, Cecie Starr has been known as one of the best-selling biology textbook authors. Her texts, appreciated for their clarity in both the written word and the visual representation of biological concepts, include multiple editions of BIOLOGY: THE UNITY AND DIVERSITY OF LIFE, BIOLOGY: CONCEPTS AND APPLICATIONS, and BIOLOGY TODAY AND TOMORROW. Her original dream was to become an architect. Instead of building houses, she now builds, with care and attention to detail, incredible texts based on this philosophy: "I invite students into a chapter through an intriguing story. Once inside, they get the great windows that biologists construct on the world of life. Biology is not just another house. It is a conceptual mansion. I hope to do it justice."Cecie Starr is the author of 'Biology: The Unity and Diversity of Life (with BiologyNOW-Personal Tutor with SMARTHINKING, iLrn, InfoTrac Printed Access Card)', published 2005 under ISBN 9780495015994 and ISBN 0495015997.

An Experimental Investigation of the Role of Errors for Explaining Violations of Expected Utility
One possible conclusion from recent experimental research on decision making under risk is that observed behaviour can be reasonable accommodated by expected utility plus an error term. This conclusion implies that the violation rate of expected utility should decrease if errors are excluded. The present paper presents an experiment which investigates this implication. Indeed, the results show that the exclusion of errors leads to a significant reduction of the violation rate for most of the subjects and most of the choice problems under risk. However, it turns out that for decision problems under ambiguity the exclusion of errors in contrast increases the violation rate significantly. In this sense the Ellsberg paradox can be regarded as a more serious challenge of expected utility than the Allais paradox. More general, while expected utility plus error term may be regarded as a reasonable representation for choice under risk this does not seem to be true for ambiguous choice problems.

Eric Krasno Band, Goosepimp Orchestra
APel, Turbine, Much Love!
Eric Krasno is a guitarist, musician & producer best known for his work with his groups Soulive, Lettuce, Chapter 2 and record label Royal Family Records.
Goosepimp Orchestra is an 8 piece psychedlic latin/funk dance party. Driving elements from all over the musical spectrum into an unrelenting cosmic force, Goosepimp's live performances have garnered them a reputation for stirring crowds into a dancing frenzy. Smothered with high energy and seasoned with a carefully crafted balance of experimentation and groove, their grassroots mentality has been captivating a devout and growing fanbase, packing venues just to get their fix of the Goose.
The first footprints of Goosepimp's musical journey can be traced back to the turn of the millennium, when childhood friends Mike Cantor and Bob Greel stumbled upon a chemistry that culminated their admiration for elements of various dimensions. The two met bassist Dave Pelletier, who's bottom end backbone developed ideas into all night jam sessions. Through Dave, came his brother Adam, providing steady rhythm on guitar. After recruiting Josh Filgate on Trombone, Jon Albertelly on Trumpet, and Seth Bailin on Saxophone, the band's presence was screaming with a sharp horn section. By adding Cantor's hometown friend Joe Calabrese on the drums, a complete line-up was set in place to catapult Cantor and Greel's original chemistry into the 21st century.
In the three years that the current ensemble has been playing together, they have established their presence in and around their home of Boston, made numerous festival appearances throughout the Northeast, and maintained a steady gigging regiment up and down the East coast. Fueled by their trademark ability to morph themselves through the boundless realms of the sonic stratosphere, the development of the original concept has transcended into a sound that is danceable, funky, tight, and above all, in tune with their surrounding community.
Their debut full length album, aptly entitled The Biggest Bang, captures ten raw glimpses inside the brainwork of an entrancing spiritual experience that has been sweeping audiences off their feet. Fans of funk, world music, jazz and psychedelic rock alike are given the opportunity to experience what happens when a powerful energy triggers a collision of groove and gluteus maximus.
Hailing from New York City, Turbine has quickly gained a devoted audience who have come to expect the unexpected. Recently chosen by Relix Magazine as "Artists on the Verge," the band uses their vast catalog of songs as launching pads for improvisation. This summer they have appeared at Bonnaroo, 10,000 Lakes Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and hosted their second NYC boat cruise.
Playing the harmonica and acoustic guitar, Ryan Rightmire has rocketed this classic folk combo into the 21st century. Jeremy Hilliard, brings an explosive electric guitar style steeped in the blues and roots traditions of the south. This one-two punch of intertwining soloists, backed by Eric Johnson on drums and Justin Kimmel on bass, sound like nothing you've heard before. Turbine's unique talent for turning the assumed on its head has attracted the attention of many genre favorites and has landed the boys sit-ins with the Del McCoury Band, Benevento-Russo Duo, moe., and many others!

4.29 / 5.00 5,042 Views{***Wow, 9th place?! O_O... Thank you everyone for voting and thanks to you Tom Fulp. I just hope this film is good enough to get a weekly award ^-^. Thank you all, and please enjoy it.***}
{***Weekly 13th place. AWESOME! :D Thanks everybody who voted. I hope you all will continue to enjoy it.***}
***Note*** If you don't like Shadow, or the idea of Sonic losing/being beaten up. Then don't watch this series.
***Sorry about the large file size, :|***
***ATTENTION MAC USERS*** If you have a Mac you may experiance a slowdown, mainly if you have a LOW RAM, so I'd reccomend Low Quality in this case.
***Also remember use the space-bar for the "Dialouge and Character Description parts in the movie. I can't stress that enough. So please remember that.***
You know kiddies a lot has changed while your old uncle Shade's been away. A "New" Newgrounds, new effects to my flashes, even many new twists. But now I'm tan, I'm rested, and I'm ready to give this portal an explosion again. So here it is after nearly a year. I'd like to thank all my fans for their patients with me. As you know this has been quite a stressful year for me. I had to cut this eps. into two parts even with the MC frame limit bypass trick. Also, to get it on here I had to lower the quality of some of the images, but it WON'T take away from the movies intensity. I don't know if Tom even recieved my email or what, but I couldn't and didn't wanna keep you all waiting any longer. I just hope you all like what you see, I'm a little nervous as to how it will be recieved. I also dedicated this film to my Cat, may he rest in piece, many of you will think the same as me about this, and many will think I'm stupid for it I'm sure as well. However, those of you who think I'm stupid for it... I don't care. So well... I guess there is not really much left to say, except this eps. will answer many questions and FINALLY reveal shadow's TRUE motive. So just watch, and I hope you enjoy.
God Bless
i am speakless
the 1 part and i am stuned shuld wish i could rate higer but i cant but this deserves 15/15
simply mega-amaziiiiiiiing...
i think it's a good movie.
sound- only 100/10- i liked the sound
story-50/10- confuse me a bit.i not understanding the history.it's a bit different of episode 4.
sprites-1000/10-awesome sprites.
fight-99999/10-i loved the fight, punch, foot, chaos here chaos there, fire sonic, iron shadow, and super metal sonic.
RONIC,go save them and kick mecha sonic metal ass.
in portuguese, the religiouse people honor the dead saying:
em nome do pai,do filho,do espirito santo, AMÉN.
GOD Bless you shade, you and your Tiny Tim.
Simply Stunning. . .
Shade, If I could I would rate this 50/10
but I can't. I didn't realize the file was this big, and you crammed so much on to it!
And honestly, It makes me melt like butter to see you displaying me on your flash film,
It really makes me warm, and feel really grateful. But enough of that, and more on reviewing the film.
Sound Quality 9/10 - The sounds were very good, but I picked a few fuzzes here and there in the sounds.
Sprite Work 10/10 - The next Alvin-Earthworm, with a bad ass attitude. your sprite work, Is stunning, beyond possible for many people. thumbs up from here to eternity!
Story Line 10/10 - Not very original when It comes to the base story line, and possibly assuming, that this is a continuation from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, Where Shadow first appears, but I'm sure SEGA would have made a much more, pansier version, you have added bits and pieces to your version of the story line, making it much more violent, and entertaining.
God Bless Bro, and keep up this amazing work.
R.I.P Tiny Tim the Cat.

HOUSTON, Feb. 12, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Data storage is a perennial need of businesses large and small, but many of today's technologies are too unwieldy or complicated for small business customers. SoftNAS™ provides network attached storage (NAS) for cloud computing that meets every conceivable need simply and affordably. Available as software-as-a-service or as an in-house addition to a server room, SoftNAS is a seamless file storage solution. The industry has already taken notice: CRN included SoftNAS on its list of the top 10 hot storage technologies for 2013. More details on the technology and its various applications are available at http://www.softnas.com.
SoftNAS is the cloud storage OS. The SoftNAS cloud storage operating system is adaptable to any cloud computing environment or software configuration, whether true cloud platforms, such as Amazon EC2, or private clouds running VMware or Microsoft Hyper-V. Administrators manage the software through a convenient web-based graphical user interface. In the world of storage solutions, SoftNAS is as close to plug-and-play as possible – just download, configure and go.
With small businesses especially, price is one of, if not the paramount consideration in every purchase decision. SoftNAS delivers a 65% lower total cost of ownership than comparable products.
"With SoftNAS, we are making powerful, complex storage technologies simple, reliable and affordable," said Bill Hood, founder and CEO of SoftNAS, LLC. "Instead of multiple devices or software deployments with steep learning curves, our technology was designed to work within existing architectures. Anyone who understands virtualization can have SoftNAS up and running in no time. It comes as no surprise to us that CRN put us on their list of the year's hottest storage technologies."
By virtue of the SnapReplicate™ feature, SoftNAS has also staked a claim as the world's best small business disaster recovery tool. SnapReplicate checks the source drive against the target drive every 60 seconds, updating the target drive as necessary. Users need not fear losing their data since SoftNAS is built with "out of the box" capability to replicate your critical data. When storage is synced across multiple geographic locations, a disaster in one server room can be quickly recovered in another.
The SoftNAS software can be loaded onto any existing commodity server hardware. Alternatively, larger businesses can purchase their own SoftNAS Virtual Storage Appliance and manage every aspect of their network attached storage, file storage and backup needs. An in-house VSA can interface with desktop virtualization deployments like Citrix® XenDesktop® and VMware® View, providing the most cost-effective, high-performance VDI storage available today.
SoftNAS was "feature complete" as of February 1. Quality assurance teams are working to identify and fix any lingering bugs in the days leading up to the live release on February 27. Everyone is eligible to try the program prior to the live release via registration with the Early Access Program: http://www.softnas.com/wp/support/contact/softnas-priority-notification-list/.

Lucius Vitruvius Cerdo
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Lucius Vitruvius Cordo)
Not to be confused with Marcus Vitruvius Pollio.
Lucius Vitruvius Cerdo was an ancient Roman architect active in Verona. His only known work is the Arco dei Gavi, a 1st-century arch in Verona, Italy.[1] The arch is inscribed "Lucius Vitruvius Cerdo, a freedman of Lucius", which has led to Verona being suggested as the birthplace of the earlier and better-known architect Marcus Vitruvius Pollio.[2]

Ever wonder what fitness pros keep in their kitchen to make sure they're fueled up and ready to power through the toughest workouts? We have, so we pulled together this list to see how some of our favorite fitness gurus stock their kitchens to make sure they're performing at their best.
Eggs. Packed with protein, eggs help keep you and your muscles feeling energized all day. Instagram phenom Kayla Itsines tells Elle that she loves to start her day off with a couple of slices of "wholemeal toast with a poached egg, avocado with a squeeze of lemon, tomatoes and some baby spinach." Truly a breakfast worth waking up (and working out) for.
Greek Yogurt. Perfect for breakfast, a quick snack, or as UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey tells Cosmopolitan, dessert, Greek yogurt is a great source of both protein and calcium. For an extra boost and a little crunch, top it with almonds and your favorite fruit.
Avocados. Recent-winner of his sixth Australian Open title, Novak Djokovic, known for his strict eating habits, is a huge proponent of avocados. Whether spread over whole-grain bread, topped with a little salt and pepper, or fired up on the grill, avocados offer nearly 20 vitamins and minerals, and while they are high in fat, it's monounsaturated fat, which helps to lower cholesterol.
Nuts. A kitchen staple and personal favorite of Kevin Curry of Fit Men Cook, nuts make for a great snack that actually fills you up rather than leaving you craving more. Whether you're an almond-lover, walnut fan or cashew fanatic, tree nuts are perfect on their own, mixed into yogurt or combined with oats to make homemade granola.
Water. Nothing like good old H2O to keep you feeling refreshed. And what better endorsement than New York Mets' Curtis Granderson, who teamed up with Aquafina and Drink Up to encourage more people to drink water more often. A big fan of water, Granderson tells The Examiner that as we all know our bodies are made up of 70 percent water, so why not Drink Up?

Twitter Statistics: 82% of Twitter users have less than 350 followers
- 5
At Twitter Counter we track millions of Twitter users and store their daily Followers, Following and Update counts but also all the other info (except their tweets) and turn them into good looking graphs. We have been doing that since June 2008 so we have millions and millions of data points collected in our massive databases.
"This event was off the charts"
Gary Vaynerchuk was so impressed with TNW Conference 2016 he paused mid-talk to applaud us.
So far we have been using those records solely to show personal stats to our users. From now on we will also start publishing more general statistics that we can get from just looking at our existing records. Today Sam exported a sample of 726,521 accounts with their Follower and Following counts to play with. Here are our findings:
Is Twitter about following or being followed?
In our control group of 726,521 users the bottom 600,000 (sorted by popularity) all follow more people than they have followers. The conclusion could be that Twitter, to those people, is more about following other people than about being followed. Or they simply want more followers and think that following other people is the way to do it.
Newbies Follow Everybody
The bottom 13% of all Twitter users has an average of 10 followers and they all follow 27 people back. The less popular users (or newbies) tend to follow 3 times as many people as they are followed by.
Follow VS Following is equal at higher numbers
As the numbers rise the gap shrinks. Our bottom 82% of Twitter users have an average 346 followers and follow 350 people. On average the Follower/following ratio is very close to one-on-one.
3 to 1 is better
The top 3,7% of popular people on Twitter has an average of 1144 friends against 3207 followers. If you want to be one of the big boys you better make sure that your following to follower ratio is less than 3 to 1. Better start dumping some of your friends soon!
Here are two interactive graphs that you can play with yourself. The first one show accumulated numbers and the second one splits the averages over blocks of 100,000 users at a time:
[graph discontinued]
The graphs are generated from live data so in a week or two it might show a very different picture.
So, how do you compare to these figures? Are you above or below average when it comes to followers and friends? Do you have what it takes to become a top 3,5% Twitter user?
For a quick sanity check try our Twitter profile Checker to see if your Twitter follower/following ratio is healthy enough.

It's our coming out party,.... let's give them something to really moan about . . . and the rest something to worry about
Steelers 34 Raiders 13
I hate the matchup reminds me of 2009. We are the better team as ee were then and someone named Bruce Gradkowski carved us up. Lets hope Plamer stays healthy.
It's no fun when the rabbit has the gun
Steelers will win 28-6
Carson throws 2 int's
Ben has a big day along with Redman and Dwyer.
I try to be my best espn analyst lol , I just feel we are due for some Ints. I think the defense turned around right before the half against the Jets and it will carry over for some time. I just dont see the raiders scoring any Td's if we are capable of playing defense the way we did against NY.
I think the Jets were just being the Jets. We turned up the pressure on Sanchez and he just reverted to the QB he really is. A bum.
The Steeler way...is the only way.
I think those games where you travel three time zones to play a team that is "playing for their lives" after a win can be a problem. Then, you throw in the injuries. Until our first team is back and playing well I don't get over-confident about any game.
Exactly, I'm worried about this Game. Raiders are desperate for a win, after our game they have road games at Denver and Atlanta. If they don't beat us they will start 0-5. Traveling all the way to California is gonna be a long road trip, the long snapper cost the Raiders their first game against the Chargers, they have that issue fixed now. Always hard to win on the road in the NFL.
Anybody remember the last time we traveled to California and beat either the 49ers, Chargers or Raiders? Too lazy to look it up.

Collins, Alan (2013) The reputation of Kenneth James William Craik. History of Psychology, 16 (2). pp. 93-111. ISSN 1093-4510
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Reputation is a familiar concept in everyday life and in a range of academic disciplines. There have been studies of its formation, its content, its management, its diffusion and much else besides. This article explores the reputation of the Cambridge psychologist Kenneth Craik (1914-1945). Having examined something of Craik's life and work and the content of his reputation, it concentrates on the functions that Craik's reputation has served, particularly for psychology and related disciplines. The major functions of that reputation are identified as being: a legitimation and confirmation of disciplinary boundaries and discontinuities in the period shortly after World War II; an exemplification of how to be a modern scientist and of the values to embrace; a reinforcement of science as having a national dimension; an affirmation of psychology as a science that can serve national needs, and a creation of shared identities through commemoration. The article concludes that studies of reputations can illuminate the contexts in which they emerge and the values they endorse.

European analytical column no. 39. Analytical chemistry and bioanalytical chemistrya yet unshaped social relationship: a yet unshaped social relationship
Publication: Research - peer-review › Journal article – Annual report year: 2011
Two β-xylosidases of glycoside hydrolase family 3 (GH 3) from Aspergillus nidulans FGSC A4, BxlA and BxlB were produced recombinantly in Pichia pastoris and secreted to the culture supernatants in yields of 16 and 118 mg/L, respectively. BxlA showed about sixfold higher catalytic efficiency (kcat/Km) than BxlB towards para-nitrophenyl β-d-xylopyranoside (pNPX) and β-1,4-xylo-oligosaccharides (degree of polymerisation 2–6). For both enzymes kcat/Km decreased with increasing β-1,4-xylo-oligosaccharide chain length. Using pNPX as donor with 9 monosaccharides, 7 disaccharides and two sugar alcohols as acceptors 18 different β-xylosyl-oligosaccharides were synthesised in 2–36% (BxlA) and 6–66% (BxlB) yields by transxylosylation. BxlA utilised the monosaccharides d-mannose, d-lyxose, d-talose, d-xylose, d-arabinose, l-fucose, d-glucose, d-galactose and d-fructose as acceptors, whereas BxlB used the same except for d-lyxose, d-arabinose and l-fucose. BxlB transxylosylated the disaccharides xylobiose, lactulose, sucrose, lactose and turanose in upto 35% yield, while BxlA gave inferior yields on these acceptors. The regioselectivity was acceptor dependent and primarily involved β-1,4 or 1,6 product linkage formation although minor products with different linkages were also obtained. Five of the 18 transxylosylation products obtained from d-lyxose, d-galactose, turanose and sucrose (two products) as acceptors were novel xylosyl-oligosaccharides, β-d-Xylp-(1→4)-d-Lyxp, β-d-Xylp-(1→6)-d-Galp, β-d-Xylp-(1→4)-α-d-Glcp-(1→3)-β-d-Fruf, β-d-Xylp-(1→4)-α-d-Glcp-(1→2)-β-d-Fruf, and β-d-Xylp-(1→6)-β-d-Fruf-(2→1)-α-d-Glcp, as structure-determined by 2D NMR, indicating that GH3 β-xylosidases are able to transxylosylate a larger variety of carbohydrate acceptors than earlier reported. Furthermore, transxylosylation of certain acceptors resulted in mixtures. Some of these products are also novel, but the structures of the individual products could not be determined.

Hello all, My question is, how do they determine the disability percentage? I am going through a TDRL, Final IPEB decision made, I nonconcur so am going to the FPEB soon. Here is what I am being rated on...from the VASRD 7705 Thrombocytopenia, primary, idiopathic or immune (ITP): - Platelet count of less than 20,000, with active bleeding, requiring treatment with medication and transfusions 100% - Platelet count between 20,000 and 70,000, not requiring treatment, without bleeding 70% - Stable platelet count between 70,000 and 100,000, without bleeding 30% - Stable platelet count of 100,000 or more, without bleeding 0% How do the services (esp AF) determine which percentage I fall in for each test? The VA gave me a final 70% disability rating, which I agree with, since I am not in the 100% category (I know folks with ITP who don't respond to any medication and have symptoms of bleeding from the nose and need transfusions, so I am not that bad). For example, I went in to check my platelet count. It was 7K. I was hospitalized for two days and given steroids and IVIG. I required medical treatment, but did not have active bleeding nor transfusions and my plalelets were from <20K to >100K while on the meds for 6-8 weeks. I am not stable during the steroid taper since my body cannot reset without the steroids. So, do I have to experience EVERY criteria in that category to meet it? I know the AF does not have to decide like the VA, but they have to use the same standards from the VASRD. Is the only way to know is get my hands on the members' working notes from the AF IPEB in Randolph? Can I get that through the JAG? So I am confused. Any help? airforcegal
Hello Jason...are you out there? I found out from my Af paralegal at AF JAG that they only insight into the IPEB decisions during the TDRL are the AF Form 365. Not very helpful in trying to determine how they decided my compensible percentage. THey don't give the working notes, like I read here the Navy does for their IPEB to FPEB. Do you have any other suggestions on how to proceed? My main hematologist and others in at Bethesda agree that I am permanently unstable for the remainder of my life and that my condition warrents a higher disability rating. Seems like the medical evidence supports it...but it has been the case during the entire 4 1/2 years. My hematologists (Navy Col?) said she has dealt with many PEBs across the services and they just have a doc doing his duty at the Boards, not necessarily your specialist is there providing input. She thinks it is obvious a hematologist has never participated in my IPEB reviews. And, I have done my duty and provided my up to date hematology medical records in full, for each IPEB, and I have no idea whether they were included as evidence or reviewed. My "remarks" section just regurgitates 1 or 2 lines from my NARSUM. The disability office at Randolph said each IPEB the addt'l records were received and included in the review. But, who know what went on during the actual PEB review. Thanks so much for your help! This site has provided a lot of answers for me. airforcegal
What was your TDRL rating? I got my result back in October as well and am also AF and appealing. My reporting date for FPEB is 5 Jan 10. You can expect one later than that. Don't know if it will help, but I just sent a Freedom of Information Act request, requesting the notes from my IPEB. I don't recall seeing here that anyone else has tried that, but I know they have a limited time to respond to such a request.
VA Jumper, my initial rating was 70%. Changed to 30% then 30% during two IPEBs (but I could not officially reply since my status had not "changed" I was still getting 70% on TDRL the whole time...so no change until they take me off the TDRL). I just called Randolph to get my FPEB date...appeal request went in around 14 Nov...FPEB date is 27 Jan 2010. They also said that I could not have access to any notes they may or may not have about the last IPEBs and how they reached their decisions. Brian at #671-4296 maybe the FPEB office told me this. My condition has worsened since I was put on TDRL , more treatments, more hospitalizations, lower platelets...and the VA also gave me 70%. And, I know I gave them my med records each time I went in for IPEB....M my contact in IPEB office says that they have no record of whether or not they were included or reviewed. What crap! Advice FPEB office did not make me feel any better...B asked me what my last platelet count was...told him around 109K. Hmmmm he says...so that falls into the VASRD 0% category...what they gave you... Yes I am right now I said, but i was hospitalized on Oct 30 with a platelet count of 22K and I required meds to get them up...He said that the FPEB could put me in the 0% category because it says "Stable platelet count of 100K or more without bleeding...and what if you are stable on meds... then that is what category you should be in..." Uh, but the only category that mentions meds is the 100% category...so while I am on meds, shouldn't I be rated in the 100% category, even if my counts are higher...because they are not stable on their own?" Well, he said, "the Board has rated other conditions as stable while person is on medication then they give him a lower rating and that is considered standard. LIke depression...he said... Well, if you look in the VASRD under 9440 - general mental disorders...the VA DID include in the 10% rating...if symptoms controlled by continous medication. No such wording in the 7705 category! So does this paralegal know what he is talking about...can the AF "redefine" what stable is if the VASRD has already specified what percentage goes with "requiring treatment." Next step for me is to have current hematologist write another narsum to support my case... Argh! airforcegal
When you request a FPEB, they are required to turn all documents over to your JAG/Civilian counsel for review. Also, at least for the Navy/Marines, we can call the recieving department and request a copy of all documents sent to the board for review. The PEBLO is required to turn over a copy of all material to you. They have a difficult job, but if they are not keeping up as they should, file a grievence with the patient advocate at the hospital and go to your Congressman. It's your life/career and no one is going to care as much as you.
airforcegal, Sorry for the lag in replying, I missed your earlier posts. Feel free to bump your posts (post another reply) after a day or two...If there are a lot of posts or if I am busy or travelling, sometimes I miss them. You are quite right that they do not give a lot of advice/insight other than what is on the AF 365. As far as the working note, see my reply below. It sounds like you are in for a tough fight on the legal issues. Unfortunately, I do not think you will likely have an easy time at the FPEB, nor will you necessarily be given the correct rating. The legal argument goes something like this (this is just a rough sketch, not legal advice because I can't provide that on this forum and I would not without reviewing your entire case): Under the VASRD sections on Benefit of the Doubt and Higher of Two Evaluations Rules, you are entitled to be rated based on the higher category. They will likely reject this argument at the FPEB, but if you make the argument, you preserve it for later appeals. There are systemic reasons why I think the FPEB makes errors on these points. But that does not help you any. I would say, fight this and keep fighting. If they get it wrong, you may have a good case at the BCMR or the Court of Federal Claims. Also, your VA rating is a great asset to you in this battle. In my experience, the Air Force has the worst record of getting complete records included at the PEB. Again, I think there are systemic reasons for this (mainly having to do with the fact that the Air Force separates the IPEB and FPEB into two separate offices...in the other branches, the PEB is in the same location. I suspect that this means less cases are returned at the IPEB level to the MTF for corrections because the IPEB does not see the errors that are brought to light at the FPEB. The AF takes the position that your case file is available for review at the PEB. They bring you in up to a week before the PEB and give you a chance to see the file up to three days before your hearing. This is different from the other branches that provide the record in advance to you and your attorney. Again, this is a service specific quirk, but I suspect (and this is based on observation and a conversation I have had with AF PEB personnel) that most of this is because the AF PEB only has two people working in their "back office" on administration, whereas the other services have many times this amount of personnel (in the Army this varies between sites, but the Navy has tons of people at their PEB). They simply do not have the resources to handle copying the file and sending it to the member/attorney in every case (so they don't do it as a policy). I have been quite disturbed by some things I have seen and heard out of that office in the past few months. My take is that they are quite conservative and tend to tell members more about what the PEB is likely to do (which is good to know, but hardly the end of the story) rather than focusing on the bases for challenging erroneous findings. I do not want to paint a broad stroke, because I know that there are good attorneys there. But, I have seen and heard some bizarre advice in a few cases. I don't want to go into details on this (and if anyone from that office wants to contact me about this, I am happy to provide details), but suffice it to say that I have seen some worrisome things recently. I also point out that recently the AF FPEB has undergone some big personnel changes with the former PEB President being deployed and a new change in several of the PEB members and medical personnel. This is not to say that they are bad, but I will say that the previous PEB membership got some issue right more often than the current cohort of members. To a degree this makes sense because different members will view issues differently. But I am concerned about some issues that I think they are getting wrong. To be clear, I think they are all professionals and believe in the correctness of their decisions. I just disagree on a few important matters. This is a real difference between the AF and the other branches. Under the Privacy Act (at a minimum legal basis) you should have a right to review and inspect your records. However, the Air Force's response is that they bring the member in well before the hearing to give them that opportunity. I disagree with the way the AF administers this, but I do think it is better that they bring you in before (the other branches, you come the day before and leave after the hearing, 1-2 days tops at the PEB....AF, you are there for up to a week). Given the opportunity to inspect the records before, I do not take a position on whether this policy to not provide records well in advance is correct. (I think that from a process point of view, it would be more efficient, too, because you could have a better understanding of the basis of their decision before and if they are missing documents or evidence that you have, you could provide early and obviate the need for a formal hearing). As far as the notes in the case, the Navy routinely provides this (and again, I think it makes sense from a process point of view, for the same reason stated earlier), the Army does not, nor does the AF. Sometimes in Army cases, they stick the notes in the case file and you can (more accurately, your attorney can) see these before the formal. The AF appears to take the position that these notes are not releasable (I am unclear whether the analysis is on Privacy Act grounds or Freedom of Information Act grounds) because they are internal, pre-decisional documents. I am not sure if this is an accurate statement of the law (i.e., would it hold up if challenged) but the resolution to any such challenge would come much after the FPEB and I tend to think that it is wiser to address the evidence and the case on the basis of the published decision because if something in the notes are at variance with the decision, any reviewing court or agency is likely to focus only on the "official" decision. This is a VERY cursory and simplistic explanation of my views on some of these issues. None of this has been addressed directly, so I am making some educated guesses. Hope this helped and that you get a good outcome at your Formal PEB.
I wanted to post a follow-up after I spoke today with one of the attorney's from the AF PEB. It seems that this person had read my post and wanted to know what my concerns were. I shared my concerns with some e-mails I had seen originating from the JAG Office that I think mis-stated the law on a few important points and seemed to discourage appealing IPEB findings. The attorney agreed with all of my concerns and was going to bring up the issues with other officials. It was a good discussion and went far towards allaying my concerns. Like I said above, there are some very good attorney's serving as JAG's/assigned counsel (at all PEB's), and I support them being a robust option for members. (In case anyone is curious, by and large everyone who practices at the PEBs are collegial and friendly...I was a bit concerned about posting the above because I was somewhat inclined to raise my concerns with the legal office directly. However, on the other hand, as an outside attorney, no longer in the military, I was concerned that my input would not be welcome....at least in the AF, I now know that they welcome concerns and input.)

Saving Turkey's Birds
Just back from a great day out with Rob and Chris in Teeside, where we went on one of Martin Garner's Gull Days - Iceland Gull, Med Gulls, loads of superb 'argentatus' Herring Gulls, drake Ring necked Duck, Marsh Harrier, Greenland and European White fronted Geese. Loads of good learning too. While there we met Cumbria's Tristan Reid; a self confessed gull junkie and also of www.binocularface.co.uk fame.
Tristan is raising money to try and save some of Turkey's most well known birds and to do this he is having 20 of Turkey's most famous birds tatooed on his arms. The project is called 'Giving my right arm!' If you would like to help Tristan in his quest to raise this money, you can help by visiting - http://www.justgiving.com/givingmyrightarm
What a great cause.

Photo by Florida Sportsman writer Vance McCullough. Bass tournament season is about to begin again. At the start of 2012, Vance was there. About his photo, he comments, "Anglers idle in anticipation of the Bassmaster Classic tournament launch and the start of a new tournament year. Such notable Florida pros as Shaw Grigsby, Bobby Lane and Terry Scroggins pursued the trophy and the $500,000 prize. I rode with Lane and chronicled his efforts with a Canon EOS Rebel XTi and 18-55 lens."

text: I got my first photofacial treatment 8 days ago. I am 40 and have freckly olive skin and wanted a more even skin tone. The treatment took about 30 minutes. Intense light zapped my skin, the slight sting did not bothered me a bit. The intense light bothered me more, eventhough I had goggles and patches on my eyes somehow I could "see" the intense bright white/red light everytime the machine zapped an area. The first day after the treatment my face was blotchier than ever. My brown spots and freckles turned black and I looked terrible, no one had prepared me for this. The second and third days the dark spots turned to tiny scabs that fell off gradually. By the sixth day I looked great with a few little areas of tiny scabs. Today day 8 all the dark scabs are gone and my face looks great! I would say half of my dark spots and freckles are gone...the remaining spots should fade with the next two photofacial treatments I plan to get. I truly do believe it was worth it and did not expect to get the results i have so far.

| Whats the water pH in Bangkok Hey guys, I've recently setup a little 6 gallon tank that will be a home for some apistogramma cichlids. However, these little guys are soft-water fishes and from what I've heard in CM, the tap water is around 8 in pH. That being said, I'd like to know if anyone here knows what the pH of tap water in Bangkok area is? I'm gonna go out to try and find some reliable test kit for the water soon, but if anyone else got the tools already, would really appreciate it, Thanks! |

| OP: If you have a good Thai speaker around, call a fish store in Bangkok. They should all have pH testing gear around, and should know the answer off the top of their head. PS: That's a really small tank..... |

Final Score:
Boston Red Sox 4, Chicago White Sox 5
Well, they had it. For 4 innings, it was Red Sox beating up on Buerhle, Wells making sure nobody messed with his cake and it looked like Boston would have Game 2 in hand….until the fifth. A few singles, a double or two and the White Sox get two back. No problem, Juan Uribe's up, he's hitting a ground ball to Graffanino to turn two, he's…crap, Graff's pulling a Billy Buckner. I didn't see it, I only heard it (and through the descriptions of the Chicago radio announcers no less, because the WEEI feed wasn't working), so I don't know how bad it looked, but the result was bad enough – with two runners on and one out, Tadahito Iguchi hit the long ball and put Chicago on top for good. It was a compounding of errors and Boston never recovered, failing to mount an effective attack against Buerhle or his relief, Bobby Jenks. Edit: lest anyone get the impression otherwise, I'm not suggesting that Tony G. lost the game, any more than Billy Buckner lost the game in '86. The error and the home run together caused problems and the Red Sox never came back. That's what a "compounding of errors" means.
So, back to Boston we go, down 0 and 2, our last, best hope once again in the form of the Stopper, his magic knuckleball and the power of the Fenway crowd to try and carry the Red Sox through. Summon up the comeback power of 1999 and 2003 and 2004, take the travel day to gather yourselves, never say die, don't fear the sweep and GO RED SOX!!!

Charlize Theron Makes Another Short-Haired Appearance
January 18th, 2013Here's a still short-haired Charlize Theron doing some chores in West Hollywood yesterday afternoon, and you know what? Her short-haired look is growing on me. Maybe it's because it has literally grown since the last time that we saw her, and now instead of a buzz cut Charlize Theron we're seeing a short-haired "Emo Charlize Theron". In skinny jeans and Converse to boot. So yeah, I'm totally digging her. Enjoy!

Tell your Senators: Don't Leave Poor People Out of the Climate Bill!
With each hour that passes, climate change is making poor people's battle to survive more difficult. More extreme weather means flooding in the dry season, drought in the rainy season and incredible destruction when major storms, hurricanes, tsunamis and cyclones bear down on communities.
Right now, the US Senate is working on a plan to combat climate change - and that means the moment for action is NOW to make sure poor people are given the chance they deserve to build resilience to climate change and lift themselves out of poverty.
Take action today and tell your senator to stand up for the ability of the poor to be part of the solution.

Lana Del Rey's Top Six Hip-Hop Connections
She's no longer an Internet phenomenon, but the moody singer Lana Del Rey has turned into something of an infatuation for rappers, who are more than eager to collaborate and canoodle with her. In honor of her headlining a series of shows at Irving Plaza this week, here's a short list of her notable hip-hop connections.
1. Lana and A$AP Rocky
Del Rey and Rocky set the Internet ablaze earlier this year when a snippet of "Ridin'" was leaked, ostensibly to promote a mixtape by production unit The Kickdrums. Alas, such was the fevered interest in the mellow track, the bigwigs up at RCA embargoed the song for Pretty Flacko's solo debut later this year. "Lana, that's my bitch," says Rocky on the song, possibly while considering replacing A$AP Yams with her.
2. Lana and The Flatbush Zombies

A the top of the year Lana announced she was a fan of a then-pretty-unheralded horror-styled rap troupe called the Flatbush Zombies. The Zombies in turn admitted they'd love to work or frolicwith Del Rey, although it's unsure whether the group's subsequent "S.C.O.S.A." (which refers to sniffing some sort of substance off a scantily-clad lady's rump) was in any way a reference to her.
3. Lana and Drake
When Del Rey sings "I'm feeling electric tonight" on "Summertime Sadness," it sounds like she's singing about feeling "ill like Drake," like a plea for a future hookup with the Canadian playboypossibly with cover art involving the two of them posing together inside a mock-Tudor mansion. Until that glorious day, you'll have to satisfy yourself with the natty YouTube mash-up "Video Game Over."

Jeff Finkelstein, founder of Customer Paradigm, a Boulder-based web marketing firm, will discuss an emerging trend in website marketing: Personalized URLs.
What is a personalized URL? It's something like this link:
...that goes to a personalized web page that greets the individual by name.
Why are personalized URLs so effective?
From a psychological standpoint, people love to hear their name (except when called to the principal's office). Placing a person's name next to your company's URL creates a trust-based connection. A company that goes to the effort to create a personalized web link that greets you by name makes it clear that they value the relationship.
Jeff will show how easily you can create personalized web pages for direct marketing, postal campaigns, and have your visitors greeted with a personalized Web page. Most important, you'll become a hero by generating qualified leads in six easy steps.
Personalized links are still quite new; this may be an excellent way to move your company's marketing communications to the head of the pack!

Lectionary Leanings
I'll hope to be able to engage more fully and fruitfully later today, but for now will leave you with the great question that Jesus poses to Bartimaeus, the one he asks each of us too
"What do you want me to do for you?"
Asking and answering that should provide ample sermon fodder, I think...
16 comments:
This week I'm working with my colleague to do the worship for our Association Meeting, being held at Y1P. We're using the Bartimaeus story for a brief message about vision. We're hoping to strike a balance between realism (things are tough for lots of churches) and hope (let's ask God to make us see what we ought to be doing!). All I know so far is that I'm behind where I hoped to be doing the bulletin...
ReplyDeleteI am trying to take the folk tale bookends from Job and turn it into a stewardship message on possessions.
Not sure how it will turn out (or why I decided to do so) but I have started thinking about itOh at night when things are quiet
and our hearts beat on their own
questions rumble round my head-space
taking me so far from home
will the rest come or will I wonder
what is next and then again
all the days I work and ponder
how it is that i am here.
what dear lord can i do for you
more the question that i muse
what dear god is next in this life
your servant waits i'm here to use
bring the kin-dom bring the peace
what is my hand in this story
may righteousness and grace abound
and we will bathe in all your glory
what can i do for you jesus asked
how in the world would i answer?
o lord it's peace i so desire
of heart and hand and head and breathI'm frustrated because as minister of 4 churches I preach at 2 of each on alternate weeks - so I can't draw a parallel I'd like to draw between last week's gospel & James & John 'Master we want you to do whatever we ask of you!' and Bartimaeus 'Have mercy' - to which Jesus responds 'What do you want me to do'.
And I'm struggling to work out what I want Jesus to do for me - is that because I'm too rich.. or too blind?Beautiful words Bobbie. Just perfect for the text.
I'm preaching at two churches this week - a "staggered service" - I start the service here and leave immediately following the sermon. A lay leader will pick up the rest of the sermon here. In the meantime, lay people at Other Church will have taken their service up to the point of the sermon, which is where I come in...
Sooooooooo..........as tempted as I am to go with Gord's idea of a solid stewardship message (because we are frightfully behind in our budget), I can't really preach that to a church that isn't my own (for a lot of reasons).
So, I'll be starting with "What do you want me to do for you?" and going from there. Not sure where yet.
I've always wondered how the blind man "threw off his cloak and went to Jesus" - how did he find where Jesus was? Did someone help him, point him in the right direction, or did he simply follow the sound of Jesus' voice?I'm going with "But now I see..." and looking at how we respond to God's acts of restoration and reconciliation. Job had heard but seeing was the new beginning (echoed with Blind Bartimaeus) Holistic stewardship starts with a right relationship and is critical to remaining in right relationship with God and neighbor.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm preaching on Bart. And, there are big issues happening for my community at the moment, so I'm pondering being blind (metaphorically), asking the right questions, healing and gathering into community.
I havent preached for several weeks, by coincindence, so I really want this one to be an extra good one, if you know what I mean.
Prayers for those of you juggling many communities (my hands are full with just one at the moment!) - Songbird, Ruth, Sue - I'm lookin at you.Well, I was planning to preach on Job and perhaps also the Gospel lesson, but I am confused about whether or not I really need to do a Reformation-themed service instead? I need to ask some folks from the church about whether or not they care about this in the context of what the church has done historically.
Side question -- if you use the non-Reformation scriptures, do you still use red vestments?
Also, my sermon needs to be super-short this week because we're experimenting with using time in worship for a congregational forum around the issue of adding an expansion onto our building. We really need good communication on the issue, and Sunday morning seems to be the best time to get as many people as possible.Preaching Mark this week but no idea where I'm going with it. I was startled to discover that I've never preached this text before! (even though this is my 5th time cycling through Year B)
I love how Jesus asks Bartimaeus the same question he asks James and John in v. 36 - What do you want me to do for you? I'm pondering this question and how Bartimaeus' answer is so different from the disciples. There is so much in this text! - it's hard to know where I want to focus.
Sarah, we don't observe Reformation Sunday and we keep our vestments and paraments green.Just found out about you guys and I'm so delighted! It's great to feel so immediately at home and identify so quickly with the comments and prayer requests you make. I'm preaching on the Hebrews passage this Sunday and (as usual at this point) I got nuthin' and am feeling dry and a little anxious. It's like this every week! Will be praying for you and checking back as the days go on. Sunday's coming!
ReplyDeleteSarah: I believe the "correct" answer is that you either celebrate the 21st Sunday after Pentecost and use green or celebrate Reformation and use red--the texts and the color depend on which occasion you are celebrating.
However, unless your denomination has really firm guidelines here, you are always free to do what is appropriate in your context. If red vestments and preaching from Mark 10 is what you discern is appropriate, there are no Liturgical Police to stop you.
Speaking as a Lutheran, in my context it would be almost unthinkable not to celebrate Reformation. But if it is not so obvious as that to you...it's probably optional.Sarah, thank you for your comment! Just before I read it, I had actually decided with my music director (and longtime member of the church) that we would not really go whole hog for Reformation Sunday, but that we would use red paraments and mention why as an educational piece! Apparently historically this church is not big on highlighting the Reformation, so we're easing into it and may go a little more wild next year. I have also been in churches where there would have been a serious ruckus (and there WERE some liturgical police -- at least they thought they were!) if we had not gone completely Reformation. So interesting how our churches vary in their practices from place to place!

Photographer's Note
Alhambra, Granada, Andalusia - Spain.
Alhambra is a palace and fortress complex located in Granada. It was constructed during the mid 10th century by the Berber ruler Badis ben Habus of the Kingdom of Granada in al-Andalus. The Alhambra's Islamic palaces were built for the last Muslim Emirs in Spain and its court, of the Nasrid dynasty.

The resistance change of strain gauges is usually measured using Wheatstone bridge configurations. The webinar will show what to consider for trustworthy measurements and which pitfalls to avoid.
Understanding the Wheatstone Bridge
What you will learn in this webinar:
- Why the non-linearity of the Wheatstone bridge configuration is not an issue
- How to compensate for wire resistances in quarter bridges with only three wires
- The way to achieving best measurement results in noisy environments by using carrier frequency
This webinar was recorded on June 14th, 2016.

52 Weeks: Alpine Brewing Co., Alpine, CA
Week 44 of 52– 8 MORE!
2351 Alpine Boulevard
Alpine, CA 91901
Rank: 4.4/5
Type of Establishment: Brewery, hangover cure, the mecca of IPAs
Visit: A highly anticipated trip to SoCal and Alpine was at the top of our list.
Beers on Tap (at time of visit):
Pure Hoppiness
Captain Stout
Bad Boy IPA
O'Brien's IPA
Chez Monieux
Great (barleywine)
Bottle List:
They have bottles to go of most beers, but they don't always have them in stock. Today we left with a bottle of Duet, a Pure Hoppiness and Ichabod (a sour pumpkin ale).
Food Options:
They have several options (nachos, wings) but their menu is focused on BBQ- pulled pork sandwiches, brisket, the works!
Bar Opinions:
After a night of bar hopping during San Diego beer week, we rolled up to Alpine Brewing Co. and I was in a bad state. The thought of getting on a plane later and worse, returning to work the next day did not help my mood. Alpine was one of the most anticipated stops on our trip so when we got out of the car and saw that the open sign did not have neon pumping through the glass tubes, I almost fainted.
We peered in and saw an employee. After locking eyes, he opened the door and informed us that the hours had changed and we had an hour to kill. Phew. Coffee- stat. Alpine is a beautiful little town with a frontier meets artsy vibe. Exactly an hour later, we showed back up at Alpine. bb.com=Beer stalkers.
The pub just opened in 2010 and has a diner quality to it with black and white checkered floor, a raised bar and shiny, plastic stool and chair covers. Almost immediately we strike up a conversation with the very nice staff members. Since they could sniff out our eagerness to experience all that is Alpine, we got a lot of attention during our stay.
At this point in my day, beer is the only thing that will make me feel better. We each order our own beers to start, a Great barleywine and Chez Monieux, their kreik. Both were amazing. The Great is a big beer with a thick body and a distinct alcohol taste. The Chez was light in body, tart yet refreshing and not syrupy.
Next up, an IPA tray. Alpine, like many Southern California breweries are known for their amazing IPAs. SoCal IPAs generally have heavier citrus notes and are light and refreshing. Our tray served in taster glasses placed in a muffin tray included: Duet, Pure Hoppiness, Bad Boy, Nelson and O'Brien's IPA. Nelson was one of my favorite beers during our trip.
A Golden Rye IPA
An outstanding hop from New Zealand, Nelson Sauvin (hops), is generously used throughout the brewing and dry-hopping of this unique beer. European rye is added for a smooth, malty addition to flavor. 1.065 OG 7%ABV
Wings were ordered (of course) and they are the full wing! They have a smoky flavor to them, plenty of meat on the bones and are down right tasty.
Alpine did not disappoint, in fact, it proved to me that they brew a line of quality beers- IPAs and beyond. Visiting the town, interacting with the lovely people at Alpine (very knowledgeable and they love their beer) and drinking all of their beers side by side was an experience all beer drinkers should have.
To do for 2011: Purchase plane ticket to SoCal.
San Diego Beer Week Releases First Events
Earlier this month, we discussed the Second Annual San Diego Beer Week in an article on this site. SDBW will be going down from November 5, 2010 to November 14, 2010.
After San Diego brewers cleaned up at the Great American Beer Festival, I think that there will be a bit more interest in this event. The 10 day festival of SoCal grog will feature some 500 events, including two official San Diego Brewers Guild events on the opening and closing days.
SDBW is finally releasing events, by posting snippets on its website. You can check out the events by following this link. They have finally released enough information to help you make a decision about when to head to the festival.
Don't miss out on the Brewers Guild events. The November 6th event will take place in Liberty Station from 2:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m, showcasing 10 brewers and a special VIP event for you crazed beer nuts. The Lodge at Torrey Pines (this place is incredible) will play host to the closing event on Sunday, November 14. The Lodge will offer 12 brewers and 24 chefs the opportunity to show their stuff.
One recommendation: Do not miss O'Briens Pub. O'Brien's will be holding some of the best events of the festival, including a special Alpine Beer Co night on November 8th and Barrel Aged Night on November 12th.
Stay in tune with the fest by following them on twitter (@sdbeerweek).
