Chicago is home to some of the best beers and breweries in the country and is an epicenter of the craft beer movement. Home to about 60 breweries and 46 Great American Beer Festival Gold Medals, Chicago's craft beer is not to be missed.
The following Chicago breweries offer brewpubs and tap rooms where you can taste several varieties of their craft beer on site.
Goose Island is one of the beer world's biggest names, but it started as a small brewpub in Chicago known as Clybourn. Goose Island's Clybourn Brewery helped lay the foundation for one of the most successful craft beer companies in the United States. Savor tradition in this bustling Lincoln Park location, which has been serving up award-winning, seasonal beers since 1988.
Revolution Brewing pays homage to Chicago's rich distilling history with barrel wood walls and benches made of 100-year old beams. Only a few years old, the brewpub is already a Logan Square neighborhood institution. With taster sizes and a modern tavern attached to the facility, Revolution makes it easy to sample a little bit of everything. The Eugene Coffee Porter is not to be missed. Revolution's Kedzie Brewery and Tap Room on 3340 N. Kedzie Ave. offers brewery tours Wednesday through Sunday.
Sitting above the largest brewery in Illinois, Lagunitas' tap room and beer sanctuary serve up some fun, music, munchies, and beers you won't find on shelves. The tap room is open Wednesdays through Sundays but the brewery offers free brewery tours with tastings seven days a week. Check out their website for details.
Half Acre began brewing in its North Center location in 2009. While it's a relative newcomer to the craft beer game, Half Acre is already a Chicago institution. The Daisy Cutter is a prevailing favorite for locals and buying a growler of the good stuff is a must-do while visiting the city. Half Acre also does brewery tours and has an expansive collection of unique merchandise at their store. To make your visit to the brewery even more exciting, Half Acre recently opened The Tap Room, an area that allows for a sit-down sampling of the establishment's celebrated ales.
With live band karaoke and unbelievable New Haven style pizza, Piece offers a unique microbrew experience. As an anchor of Chicago's artist-friendly Wicker Park/Bucktown neighborhood, it's known for a lively house atmosphere. In Piece won a gold and bronze medal at the 2014 World Beer Cup.
Specializing in classic Belgian and contemporary American beer styles, World Beer Cup 2014 gold medal-winning Haymarket Pub & Brewer produces an array of brown bottles for every beer palette. Chicago's West Loop neighborhood is fast becoming one of the world's greatest dining destinations and decorated brewer Pete Crowley produces a pairing worthy of his Michelin-rated neighbors. Haymarket's affinity for screens makes it a popular choice for sports fans and its Wilburt Wondersniff Double America Wheat is a hit with beer lovers.
DryHop's brewmaster, Brant Dubovick, creates hop-centric, barrel-aged, traditional and experimental beer styles that are absolutely one-of-a-kind. This place takes great pride in balancing an approachable neighborhood atmosphere and an uncanny attention to beer brewing detail. From shared plates to unique ales, DryHop offers a distinguished experience in the casual Lakeview neighborhood.
Situated in the picturesque Beverly neighborhood of Chicago, Horse Thief Hollow features a variety of craft beer styles and made from scratch food. In 2014 Horse Thief Hollow won an award at the World Beer Cup for their Cheval Deux, a sweet potato Biere de Garde.
Andersonville Brewing started out in 2009 making it one of the older craft breweries in the city. From their Blonde Bombshell, a golden ale, to barrel-aged brews and sour stouts, Andersonville Brewing has something to satisfy all tastes. In addition to the beers we brew on site, we also offer more than 40 other beers and ciders in bottle and draft, with a primary focus on local Midwest brews.
Vice District Brewing Company is one of the newest additions to the craft beer scene in Chicago but that started off right with a variety of styles from a Black IPA to an English Style Special Bitter. This South Loop brewery and tap room is committed to bringing quality brews to the neighborhood.
Atlas Brewing Company is one of the city's many newer craft brewpub, but it borrows its name from one of Chicago's early beer makers. Atlas was established in 1896 and closed its doors during Prohibition. Breathing new life into the historic label, Atlas Brewing Company opened its doors in Lincoln Park in 2012. Brewing brothers, Ben and John Saller, curate a diverse selection of craft beers that are paired with creative cuisine.
Located just steps from The Magnificent Mile, Rock Bottom is a popular brewpub for Chicago's frenzied shoppers, downtown residents and visitors. Expect a full menu with the freshest ingredients and, of course, some high quality craft beers to wash it all down. With its incredible view, Rock Bottom's rooftop dining area is an incredibly popular draw in the summertime.

Kou gets drunk this episode. This is one cliche I won't be getting tired of for a long time to come, especially if it involves stoic, naive dojikko miko's.
The next episode preview has some more proof to support my observation that Kou is in the possession of a very good body. Kou is awesome. Miko-fuku is awesome. Banzai! Banzai! Banzai!
As for the main storyline, it's getting out to be quite intriguing. All the tochigami's in this series are seriously whacked.

You could be forgiven for thinking that all higher education applications are processed through Ucas. For some courses involving art, dance, drama and music, though, this is not the case, and in the extensive field of art and design it's easy to become very confused by the different progression routes, procedures and timescales.
Degrees and diplomas in art and design do demand a Ucas application, but many teachers and advisers suggest that students should first do a foundation art and design course. These are one-year courses, usually based within a further education college, although some are within higher education institutions. They are seen as good preparation for a degree, in allowing a student to experience a wide range of subject areas, experiment with methods and materials, and to develop their own creative interests and abilities. It's a diagnostic course, with the aim of helping a student to build a portfolio, a vital element in applying for the next stage.
Applications for these courses usually commence in January, so it's important to do the research now. Students need to look at course content and the range of subjects covered. Courses will vary, but will often include painting, sculpture and drawing as well as illustration and time-based media, and also design topics. Find out where the colleges are. As foundation art and design is not funded in the same way as a higher education course, it is rather like staying on at school or sixth-form college, and students tend to study locally. Look at the facilities - the studio space, photographic darkroom and IT facilities. More generally, how big is the course and what is the staff-student ratio?
Why is a portfolio so important? Many art and design courses do not interview, but will make an assessment of your application based on your portfolio. You need to make an immediate impact. How should you do this? Collect and sort all your advanced-level work - sketch books, mounts, paintings, 3D work, graphic pieces - organise them into themes, and get advice from your art teachers on what to include. They will be able to give expert guidance on layout, trimming and mounting the chosen pieces of work. It all needs to be well ordered so an admissions selector can quickly see ideas progressing and developing in your work. Look for an immediate impact, but also a strong conclusion.
Sounds straightforward so far? Now to confuse matters. Some art-centred disciplines have a direct-entry route into university and so go through Ucas in the normal way with the deadline of January 15 2009. These include architecture, history of art, and engineering, product and technical design courses. A-level/BTec grades will usually be desired here, but that's not to say that a good portfolio may not impress a course selector.
Then there are Route A and Route B Ucas applications. Route A courses, usually specialised art and design degrees or diplomas, have the same January deadline and may well stipulate a strong portfolio. Included in these are some four-year degree courses, which include the foundation year. This can be attractive from a financial point of view (loans and grants may be available), but has a potential downside of restricting you if you later change your mind about location and/or specialist area. Route B has a different process and a later deadline (March 2009), and primarily exists for those students already on foundation courses now ready to apply for more precise degree areas. A strong portfolio is essential here. To give an idea of the wide range of degrees you can choose, and therefore how useful a taster foundation year can be, check out the following possibilities:
• Fine art: drawing, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, textiles;
• Visual communications: advertising, animation, film and TV, forensic photography, graphics, illustration;
• Design: ceramics, fashion, furniture, glass, interior, jewellery, knitwear, costume, silversmith, theatre.
You can apply for a mix of Route A and B. Check entry requirements carefully. Students can use the system to their advantage by applying through Ucas for degrees and diplomas as well as separately and directly to foundation courses, and making a choice later.
Finally, to all those who have not yet completed their Ucas application: get it finished now! And you need to alert your referee to make sure they are added to your application in time. There's only a week or so remaining once term starts again in the New Year before the dreaded January 15 deadline.

Former Hedge Fund Trader Undergoes Surgery as Jury Deliberates
The jury has entered its sixth day of deliberations while the hedge fund trader on trial, Raj Rajaratnam, goes into emergency surgery for a bacterial infection in his foot.
The Sri Lanka-born Rajaratnam is accused of making more than $68 billion through illegally traded insider information.
A website created by Rajaratnam's defense notes that Rajaratnam has waived his rights to be present and that a judge has approved his leave.
Rajaratnam has pleaded not guilty.
Prosecutors have relied on hours of wiretaps they say prove the hedge fund trader illegally traded insider tips.

There is a problem with the game's entry logic if you have a large number of buildings. I am able to get into the game once per day when I collect my daily reward. after that the game always crashes back to the iPad icons screen. Today, I did not crash out of the game, but instead went to friends area and processed 1 friend. When I attempted to return to my Springfield, the game crashed out to my iPad's icon screen and now I can not get back into the game. This behavior of getting in to collect the daily reward and then successful entry into my Springfield has been consistant for the last 4 days. Yesterday I took down (put in inventory) over 100 purple houses. When I attempted to return from the "move house" area back to my Springfield, the game crashed and from then on I could not get back into the game until the next days when my daily collection for playing timer had been met. The day before, I had taken down 16 purple houses and then attempted to return to my Springfield, only to crash out.
You guys need to hire me for programming/QA testing. email me @ bwinsky.hotmail.com
January 06, 2013
OK, I figured it out – too many houses with Christmas lights. After I was able to get in this morning as described above, 1 shot per day, I took the christmas lights off of 300 houses. After that, I eventually crashed out, but this time, I was able to get back into my Springfield. I have had no further issues with getting back in all day, so . . . . you should limit your Christmas lighted houses to under say 300.

hey I have been having problems for the last bout 2 weeks or so and it is the same as yours with the donut stopping on the loading screen thing…… I can't even get past that though I have never gotten lucky with it…. Sad thing is I only have like 4 houses with the decorations on it………. and I don't have that many buildings either. Any advice?
January 17, 2013
send me: bwinsky an invite and I'll see what your Springfield looks like. you van always try logging out and back in as well as double punch the ipad button, the hold the simpsons icon until the red minus circle shows up the tap the icon to delete the icon
January 19, 2013
Well I have tried both of those things multiple times and no result…
January 19, 2013
Another thing I thought of: add more road so your characters can spread out and it creates space i.e. less buildings given total available space.
I assume you are able to get in once per day at least?
January 22, 2013
Hey Bill… I have not been able to get on at all since c. Jan 2nd
January 22, 2013
Andy, did you send me an invite? What is your origin ID?
Perhaps you can uninstall/install the client application.
January 31, 2013
Yea Bill I sent you one…. still can't even get in for a minute after this update…….
January 02, 2013
Once again, I am not able to play the game. I tap to continue past the login screen and the doughnut turns and stops and then I am thrown out to the iPad icon screen with no error message. For the past 2 days, I was able to get in for about 3 minutes before the game crashed out, then having crashed out, I am not able to get back in as described above.
My thought here is that there are memory issues on the server, either a memory leak or insufficient memory to display all my buildings. Now, I will admit, I am playing an aggressive strategy where I have approxamately 450 purple houses, 250 blue houses, 225 white houses, all of the commercial buildings, including premium buildings, except Hibert's practice and the hospital. However, I see no documentation on limitations of buildings, so it should be supported.
I have bought about $160 worth of doughnuts. This is way more than I would normally spend on a game and I have enjoyed the game, but I don't think Origin does a very good job with games. As such, EA should probably give me my own server.
You can see my layout if you friend me: bwinsky .
January 01, 2013
Can't move past level 24 . Won't take any more XP , still earns money. Is this all there is???????
December 31, 2012
Once again ther server is crashing. Please recycle it. Yesterday it seems the server was recycled and I was able to play until this morning. Now, everytime I continue through the login screen, the game crashes back to the ipad icons screen.
December 30, 2012

Hi, I'd like to fill ale my stars on town rating, but I miss one star in Obedience. I'm lvl. 20 and have everything buit (except premium stuff) Is any public building amongst them so I could raise my obedience rating? Thanks.
May 20, 2012
I had the same problem. I was level 20 with no new quests past Moes. I ended up starting a new one and now I'm at level 15 building Springfield Downs. I waited over a month on my first game but it never happened. I still log into it once in a while but still no new quests. I just collect the money and log out. Too bad too because I had about 80 friends on that town.
May 17, 2012
I'm level 20 and quests stopped 3 levels ago, I still can't build skips diner, king toots, retirement castle, luigis, police station, town hall, the prison etc
The only active quest I have is the standard collect money from houses, grow tomacco etc
May 21, 2012
Me too. I've just finished level 18 and am a quarter through level 19 and still no quests since level 17? I'm not sure what to do and have had a hard time trouble shooting this problem.
May 06, 2012
I am in level 18. And there are no quest?? Please help mé.
April 16, 2012
hi pls help me I'm at level 14 now and i have krusty at my textbook(quest book) BUT WHEN I TAPP HIM NOTHING HAPPENS ,,!!!"? and i only get quest like collect money from house restaurant ,store what should i do to get the krusty quest to show up i can see anything happens .
April 10, 2012
Does anyone know how to get quest as American as pie part 1? I'm lvl 20 and still waiting to build skips diner with no active quests in my quest log
April 11, 2012
It can take a while until this quest shows up, I was at level 20 and had to wait 3 days (even though I was playing constantly) for it to show up while completing seemingly meaningless tasks. It will be Comic Book Guy who starts this quest but until then you'll have to be patient.
May 21, 2012
So you went through all of level 18, 19 and 20 before any new quests were released?
April 06, 2012
dont you know why i cant build the fist church of sprinfield and the next buildings if im already on level 15?
I have the money and everything but i still cant buy them.
(sorry for my english)
April 02, 2012
Moving buidlings doesn't work. I can't select the move button. what can I do?
March 24, 2012
Yup – you have to delete Concrete from underneath before you can select the building above.
Its not cost, just a little extra work.
Finally got Bart unlocked around Lvl 14 – seems to have more to do with finishing build-up quests than your Level.
March 25, 2012
Yes, the game follows a strict order when it comes to tasks. So you can only unlock and build stuff once you have completed the programmed in tasks, no matter what level you are on 🙂
March 18, 2012
I'm having trouble moving Some buildings and objects. When I tap on them it just says place pavement. This is only for a few buildings as I have been able to move others!
March 19, 2012
Try to delete that pavement if it selects the pavement instead of the building you are trying to move. It seems to be a bug in the game but since pavement, roads and water are free you can delete and rebuild those as often as possible. Even if the building has already been placed you can put pavement underneath it. 🙂
March 18, 2012
Add the Pavilion to the list maybe?.. adding it from decorations gives Springfield's intellectuals the ability to have 3 ours Mensa meetings… so it functions more like a mini building, just without the regular income.
March 15, 2012
I'm currently level 10 and I don't seem to get new quests.
The last one was at level 5. I was supposed to get letter grated beef part 1 made with U.S.D.A. at level 7.
How is this possible and what does U.S.D.A. stand for?
March 16, 2012
U.S.D.A. stands for US Department of Agriculture. It is the department that among other things controls and grades all food products in the US.
5 Levels is a long time without a quest though especially 5 of the lower levels. Do none of your characters have any tasks? Unfortunately the tasks don't come to you by the time you get to a certain level but they have to be done in a strict order. For example if you haven't done certain things you won't be getting Level 5 tasks, even if you are in Level 10. Make sure all the buildings you were supposed to build so far have been built.
March 12, 2012
I'm almost done level 11 I have 3 quests going but it doesn't give me information on two of them (lisa and milhouse's head) it won't let me get any new buildings and it's starting to get really annoying. what can i do?
November 21, 2012
Make them both go to school
March 09, 2012
My question:
Does anyone now why there are two kwik-e-marts and two Krusty Burgers? I just unlocked the second kwik-e-mart at level 12 which costs $19,500.
March 16, 2012
Because you can build as many of them as you want 🙂 There are more than just one Krusty Burger in Springfield. It will increase your Gluttony and Consumerism rating.
March 19, 2012
Except there's only 1 Kwik-E-Mart in Springfield. And in the town there is only 1 krusty burger too. Krusty Burger is a chain.. but with only one location in Springfield. D'oh! So far that's the only thing I've noticed that seemed odd. They should have made some other buildings instead. I made a list of about 100+ objects, characters, and buildings they could add to this game. It's never ending!
November 27, 2012
Haven't you got anything better to do than that,?! Mental.
March 19, 2012
You also need two Kwiki marts before you can build the nuclear plant
March 19, 2012
No, you don't need 2 kwik-e-marts before you build the nuclear plant.
The second Krusty Burger and second Kwik-E-Mart are optional.
March 22, 2012
well, it may be just a coincidence then, because after I built the 2nd one, Apu came and said he needed more power, ant that started off the power plant quests
February 25, 2013
Max is right, u do not need 2 kwik-2-marts or krusty burger to get the nuclear plant just dont get n a hurry and make them do long missions cause that could cause you to have to wait longer for it
March 09, 2012
People… to get the gulp n' blow or other quests you have to first finish other quests. You must do them in order. Just because you reach a level that has a building doesn't guarantee your access to it immediately.
For example.. if you reach level 11 you aren't automatically going to be able to place the power plant. First, you have to "catch up" in your series of quests until you have first done Springfield Elementary and Willie's Shack.
Well, if you have Principal Skinner bird watching for 24 hours… then you will have to wait for him to finish before a " ! " icon appears above him to move forward with another quest. If you have Lisa doing homework for 24 hours… even though it's time for the next house in evergreen terrace part V… you won't get to unlock the house.
Be careful in assigning characters to long missions (like making homer watch TV) because by the time it comes ready to place the gulp n' blow you may actually be slowing yourself down. Your quests may be ready to start gulp in blow (which involves homer first eating at krusty burger 2 times in a row for 30 mins) but if you have him doing something else like watching monkey trauma on TV then you won't get to start the gulp n' blow quests right away.
Don't slow yourself down. 🙂
March 18, 2012
I get no new quests. Level 10. How long have I wait after skinners bird watching that he gets an "!" sign?
March 19, 2012
I don't believe that. You will get new quests once you progress. You could have already progressed but the characters that start the next quest are currently occupied on other tasks. Try unoccupying all your characters. Don't give them tasks. Apu, lisa, Homer, Krusty, Skinner, Willy, Bart, etc. will all start quests to build buildings. If you have Apu working at the kwik-e-mart when it's time to build the power plant you are slowing yourself down and out of luck. He starts the Power Plant quests. So you can't keep occupying him doing other things. Otherwise your quest will never appear.
March 19, 2012
This is the situation:
The last character I got was skinner. I did all the tasks of every character.
The last building I got was the elementary school.
Since the level I got Krusty he is in my taskbook but I cant do anything with him. There will be no task for him to do.
I am level 13 now and since 48 hours nobody do a job. I just collect the money from houses. Exept the collect taxes and cletus farm tasks there will be no new task in my taskbook since days.
cant believe that….
March 20, 2012
Skinner has to go Bird Watching and I think Monitor the Halls and maybe even be the crossing guard before willie's shack opens up.
Forget the second krusty burger and the second kwik-e-mart.
They do nothing.
March 19, 2012
the last building was the second kwik e mart… but nothing else since then
March 09, 2012
what do you need to do to achieve the quest for gulp and blow
March 19, 2012
Homer has to eat Breakfast Lunch and Dinner at Krusty Burger first. Then he gets tired of eating there and you get the Gulp N' Blow.
To get to that point you first have to complete all the other quests that lead up to it.

How do you move objects once you have placed them? for example buildings, trees, shrubs etc..
March 16, 2012
Tap on the crossed arrows icon in the lower right corner and then on the item you want to move 🙂
March 08, 2012
Requires: Level 10 Krusty Burger Heavy User Pt. 1"
Dont understand this quest. What should I do?
August 26, 2012
homer does this quest. happened to me by chance, and requires 2 visits to finish.
March 05, 2012
Have you tried doing your quests?
March 05, 2012
Any idea how to achieve "The New Evergreen Terrace" requirement?
March 19, 2012
It differs each time. Lisa always does those quests. They are always in order. You must finish 1 quest before you can get to move to the next.

America's relationship to food and health has certainly changed in the 20 years since Cooking Light debuted. Some of those changes may seem discouraging: Rates of obesity and diabetes have risen, food-borne illnesses frequently make headlines, and more people eat meals―often fast food―away from home than ever before.
Look more closely, though, and you'll see that the last two decades also have brought many innovations that make eating healthfully easier than ever. The 10 stories outlined here grabbed headlines for a reason. They document the tools available to help all of us make smarter food choices. And that implies hope for a more healthful future.
Building a new pyramid
When the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) decided to design an icon of good nutrition, it considered a variety of shapes and finally settled on the Food Guide Pyramid in 1992 (shown left). This was a departure from the four food groups (grains, meats, dairy, and fruits and vegetables) that had guided the public's eating habits for nearly half a century.
By the time the USDA announced plans to revamp it in 2003, some 80 percent of Americans recognized the pyramid. In 2005, the USDA unveiled a renovated pyramid, shortly after publication of the 2005 Dietary Guidelines, on which it is based. Like the guidelines, the new pyramid advises Americans to eat more fruits and vegetables, consume three servings of low-fat dairy and three or more ounces of whole grains daily, and moderate intake of healthful fats, such as those found in olive oil, nuts, and avocados. A staircase reminds users to stay active. There's one more big change: The new food pyramid is Web-based, allowing users to tailor it to their individual needs based on age, sex, height, weight, and activity level at www.mypyramid.gov.
Nutrition facts come to light
Knowing the calorie content of your favorite packaged foods used to be a guessing game. That changed in 1994 when the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) required products to carry nutrition facts labels that listed the amount of calories, calories from fat, total and saturated fat, protein, carbohydrates, fiber, sugar, cholesterol, sodium, vitamins A and C, calcium, and iron per serving.
Trans fat is the label's newest addition. Since the FDA began requiring food manufacturers to list this unhealthy fat in 2006, a number of products, from snack foods to margarine to frozen meals, have been reformulated to eliminate it. And many food companies have also begun to include additional information ¬voluntarily, from potassium, a mineral key to blood pressure control, to heart-healthy fats, such as mono- and polyunsaturated.
Fifty-one percent of adults take advantage of the information nutrition labels provide, according to the Cooking Light 2007 Insight survey (up from 43 percent in our 2003 survey). Not only does reading labels reflect an interest in healthier eating, but studies show those who read nutrition facts labels are more likely to eat less of foods high in saturated fat than those who don't.
Fish tales
The American Heart Association and U.S. Dietary Guidelines advise eating seafood twice a week. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, it's good for your heart, brain, joints, and possibly your mood, as a number of studies suggest.
But what about mercury and other contaminants found in seafood? In 2004, the FDA and the Environmental Protection Agency issued seafood advisories for children under 12, pregnant and nursing women, and women who might become pregnant, suggesting they avoid shark, swordfish, tilefish, and king mackerel. The warning filtered into the general public's consciousness, and almost a third of Americans incorrectly came to believe the advice applied to everyone and extended to all species of fish, according to a survey by the Center for Food, Nutrition, and Agricultural Policy.
Fortunately, the confusion has been cleared. Last year, the Institute of Medicine declared the health benefits of eating seafood outweigh its risks, even for pregnant and nursing women.
Fat is not a four-letter word
For many people, straightening out the facts about fat has been tough. Long demonized-20 years ago, many grocery shelves were packed with nonfat and low-fat products-mono- and polyunsaturated fats are now embraced for their health benefits.
Research has shown that these fats help improve blood cholesterol levels, either by cutting levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), one of the most damaging forms of cholesterol, or by boosting levels of high density lipoprotein (HDL), a protective type of cholesterol. The 2005 Dietary Guidelines made fat's revised role official, advising that a healthy intake could range from 20 percent of daily calories up to as much as 35 percent.
Adding fat to your diet is still best tempered with caution. At nine calories per gram, it contains more than twice the number of calories in protein or carbohydrates. Some types of fat are still to be avoided-advice that hasn't changed for the past 20 years and isn't likely to change in the future. The AHA, the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI), and the Dietary Guidelines all urge limiting both saturated and trans fats as a result of their roles in promoting heart disease.
Whole grains go mainstream
Most grocery stores now stock whole-grain pasta, bread, crackers, cereals, and other products that 20 years ago were found almost exclusively in health-food stores. Whole grains boost foods' nutritive value, as they contain complex carbohydrates and fiber, which don't raise blood sugar levels the way foods made with refined grains do.
Until 2006, there was no official government definition of whole grains, which made it difficult for consumers to know that cracked wheat, stone-ground wheat, ordinary wheat flour, multigrain, and many other seemingly whole-grain sounding products were not the real thing.
Now, spotting whole-grain products is easier, thanks to stamps issued by the Whole Grains Council, a nonprofit group developed in 2003 to help identify whole-grain foods. Since then, more than 1,000 products from nearly 100 companies have qualified to use the stamps.
Food for what ails you
Food provides nourishment, and it also can help prevent health problems.
In developed countries, high blood pressure is a common problem of aging. But in populations where sodium intake is low, high blood pressure is much less common with age. To see if food could make a difference, the NHLBI launched the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension Study in 1997. The results proved that just two weeks of eating a diet low in so¬dium, rich in fruits and vegetables, fiber, whole grains, and modest amounts of healthful fats can significantly lower blood pressure. A follow-up study published in 2001 showed that DASH could help lower blood pressure for everyone, even for those who did not yet have hypertension.
More recently, researchers at the University of Toronto reported that a group of foods, each known to lower blood cholesterol levels, can together cut it as much as some prescription medications. Dubbed the Portfolio Eating Plan, the regimen includes almonds, soy, fiber, and margarine fortified with plant stanols and sterols (found in products such as Take Control or Benecol). Since the FDA approved for¬tification with these cholesterol-lowering substances in 2000, a growing number of products include them, including ¬orange juice and chocolates.
Drink to good health
In 1987, we drank water from faucets, fountains, and coolers. The coffee we sipped was often brewed at home or purchased for about 50 cents a cup. Now most of us drink water from bottles and don't blink at paying $3 or more for a cup of fancy flavored coffee. No wonder beverages have become a major source of calories, accounting for 20 percent of daily intake.
To help consumers recognize healthier choices, a team of University of North Carolina scientists developed a beverage guidance system in 2006. The leading drink choice to quench thirst is water, followed by such low-calorie choices as tea, milk (nonfat or skim), and diet drinks, then juices and sports drinks.
Alcohol has made intriguing health inroads in the past 20 years. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, research repeatedly observed that people who consume alcohol in moderation-one drink daily for women, two for men-had lower rates of heart disease.
Variety is the spice of life
Repeated studies have found people who take large doses of single nutrients-vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C-aren't any healthier than people who don't. In some cases, large doses may actually be harmful.
For example, Finnish researchers found in the mid 1990s that smokers actually increased their risk of lung cancer when they took beta-carotene supplements. In January, Australian researchers reported that vitamin E increased blood pressure and heart rate in diabetics.
Research also suggests that relying on dietary supplements may not fully cover your nutritional bases. In 2006, a panel convened at the National Institutes of Health concluded there is not enough evidence to recommend for or against taking multivitamins.
Time and again, research points to eating a variety of foods for optimal health―wonderful news for anyone who enjoys eating. Choose fruits and vegetables in all the colors of the rainbow. Reach for whole grains, beans, and a wide range of lean protein, from a little red meat to seafood. But most of all, take the time to cook―and savor―meals that you can share with family and friends.
Fresh, healthful food abounds
From 1994 to now, the number of farmers' markets has more than doubled, according to the USDA. The local and seasonal fruits and vegetables such markets sell are the cornerstones of healthful diets.
Additionally, the number of specialty groceries focused on healthier eating also has grown. From Whole Foods and Trader Joe's to Bloom, Central Market, Hannaford, Harris Teeter, and Wegman's, these stores sell more than just food. They offer cooking lessons, nutrition information, and a gathering-place, community center sensibility.
Many of these markets stake their reputation on selling organic food―a category that didn't have an official definition until 2002, when the USDA developed guidelines governing the growth, production, and certification of organic foods. Since then, organic food sales have grown by roughly 20 percent each year. Today, certified organic food is so common that it's even sold in large chain groceries, such as Giant, Safeway, Costco, and Wal-Mart.
Although there's little proof that eating organic will make you healthier, it may make your conscience feel better, since evidence indicates organic products can be good for the environment.

The British Board of Film Classification also attacked his plans to abolish the independent watchdog which last year passed them for sale in adult-only sex shops and appoint a new watchdog body in its place. The BBFC defended the video appeals committee, saying its appointment process should be kept separate from Whitehall.
Mr Straw proposed the new controls on R18 videos after a high court ruling backed the video appeals committee's decision to legalise their sale. He claimed that the new controls were needed because there was evidence that paedophiles "sometimes used this sort of material to 'groom' children for sexual abuse."
But the BBFC, whose president is Andreas Whittam Smith, now says that such paedophiles also use a range of legitimate sex education videos and that the R18 category specifically bans any material involving children in a sexual context.
"The UK still probably has the strictest guidelines of any European or western nation," said the BBFC statement. "There was also no evidence that in countries where pornography was more accessible, children had more problems as a result."
The film standards watchdog however does want to see a legal requirement for all R18 videos to be labelled with a clear warning of the dangers of exposing children to their contents.
The video standards council was also deeply critical of Mr Straw's proposal to create a new criminal offence of failing to take reasonable care to prevent a child from watching an R18 video.

Palestinians, Israelis Explore Peace Through Sports
02/22/02 12:00AM By Neal Charnoff
(Host) This winter, a group of Israeli and Palestinian basketball coaches spent ten days together at the University of Vermont. They attended coaching workshops and played basketball. Their hope is that peace can be built through personal interaction.
VPR's Neal Charnoff reports.
(Sound of game announcer) "Good afternoon and welcome to the University of Vermont Patrick Gym for this special Friendship Game between Team Middle East¿and Team Vermont¿."
(Charnoff) The sounds of basketball fill the court at UVM's Patrick Gym. But this is no ordinary game. One team is made up of Israelis and Palestinians, playing together side by side. The other comprises UVM students and faculty. Right from the beginning, the score is close.
(Sound of game announcer) "Basket by Iris Goren!"
(Charnoff) On the wall, the flags of Israel and Palestine are crossed in unity. Team Mideast is made up of ten men and two women, ranging in age from 22 to 38. They've spent much of their visit in coaching workshops. As today's game gets under way, there's an unusual moment:
(Sound of game announcer) "Ladies and gentlemen, would you now please rise for the playing of the Palestinian and Israeli anthems." (Sound of Palestinian anthem)
(Charnoff) Yair Gallily is one of the coordinators of Team Mideast's workshops. He says that unlike the U.S., most countries do not play anthems before sporting events, but it seemed appropriate to hear the anthems before today's game. For most of the Israelis, this is the first time they've heard the Palestinian anthem:
(Galilly) "You know, Palestine is not yet a state, and it's kind of controversial. But I guess for the Palestinians it was pretty important, and I respect these people, so I guess it's important for me too."
(Charnoff) The game is part of a project called "Sports for Peace," sponsored by UVM and by Israel's Peres Center for Peace. The center is dedicated to promoting a culture of peace through dialogue and interaction between Israelis and Palestinians.
The idea behind the Sports for Peace Program is to create activities that will bring children from the separate areas together. Alon Beer is the project manager from the Peres Center:
(Beer) "The whole idea of taking those coaches out of the region is to taking them to a neutral and quiet area, and to create and to build a confidence between them, and then going back to the region and bring the children that they are coaching to take part in people-to-people activities¿and to give some hope for those children through sport¿. The idea is that those children will be out of the streets¿ and will learn that they can use sport in order to create for themselves a better future."
(Charnoff) The coaches arrived in the United States determined to set aside personal and political differences
Marcus Kotto is a Palestinian from Bethlehem, and a member of Team Mideast. He says it wasn't easy choosing between taking up arms, and working for peace.
(Kotto) "Yes, there has been one time actually when my house in Bejara, which is town I'm living in, was bombed by the Israeli army, and my family had to immigrate to the States because of the situation. I was in a very bad situation concerning my relations to the Jews and to the Israeli people. But as you see, I've come over it, and I came, even though it was very hard for me. But I am happy I did."
(Charnoff) Kotto says it took 14 years to obtain immigration visas for his family. Because of new laws regarding men over the age of 22, Kotto still cannot obtain a visa for himself, so he stays in Bethlehem.
Oran Heffez is an Israeli who coaches first division pro women's basketball. Until he became a member of Team Mideast, his only encounters with Palestinians had been as a soldier. He says he was amazed at how well everyone got along on their stressful journey to the U.S, which included many flight delays and unexpected layovers:
(Heffez) "I think this is the most important thing I can take from here to Israel, is that you can teach the boys and girls that you can live with the Arabs. They are the same - same like us, and they must find a way¿."
(Charnoff) Heffez does not believe that peace is possible in this generation. He does think programs set up by the Peres Center can lay the groundwork for the next generation. On his return to Israel, Heffez will fulfill his annual three week duties as an Israeli soldier. He says his ten days spent as a member of Team Mideast have tempered his attitude toward Palestinians:
(Heffez) "I'm sure that when I go to serve at Ramallah, I will be much more patient to the population."
(Charnoff) In addition to the coaching workshops, the visitors also spent time with Vermont families. One night, at dinner with the Jerry Tarrent family of Mallets Bay, Marcus Kotto, a Palestinian, and Israeli Yair Gallily reflected on Mideast issues. In the center of the table was a tape recorder. The two guests talked about the politics of the Middle East, living conditions back home, and reactions to September 11. First, an exchange about Yassir Arafat draws this thought:
(Gillely) "I think Arafat is in a very, very dangerous situation himself."
(Tarrent) "I think so too."
(Gillely) "And as I said, he's a very experienced politician. He's like a fox. And he's on the run¿. And in a way, not so many Israelis understand Arafat as I think I understand him, in a way. Because I look at the thing differently. One of the problems people have¿."
(Charnoff) At one point the conversation becomes so sensitive that they decide to turn of the recorder. Kotto, like most of the Palestinians in the group, is nervous about his name being used, or having certain quotes attributed to him.
As the dinner continues, the Tarrents consider a comparison between life here and there:
(Jerry Tarrent) "You know it's all relative¿. Marcus has to worry about the safety of his family, you know - the physical safety¿. And yet here our concerns are much smaller but yet they're important to us because that's what we're in right now."
(Bonnie Tarrent) "It's relative, everything is relative."
(Charnoff) And Kotto provides a lighter moment:
(Kotto) "In Israel there's a saying about the Jews. There is five very smart Jews along the history. And the first one was Moses, says, 'Everything should be by the law.' The second was Jesus, says, 'Everything is love.' The third one was Freud, said 'Everything is sex.'" (Sound of laughter) "The fourth one was Marx, said 'Everything is money.' But the smartest person was Albert Einstein, said 'Everything is relative,' so I guess everything is relative." (Laughter, "That's great.")
(Charnoff) Friendships were begun in the U.S. that will be difficult to maintain back home. Iris Goren is a doctor from Tel Aviv. She says there's little hope for a team reunion, but that the group will try to stay in touch by e-mail. Goren says the most important goal is to pass on their experience to the children they coach:
(Iris Goren) "I would like to see the connection between us keep going, and I want to see every one of us teaching his kids that he coach, and telling them we know the people on the other side. And calming them when they are very anxious about the things that are going on. And this is the next generation that maybe will bring peace one day."
(Charnoff) Team Middle East won their game against UVM. They return home with renewed hope. Palestinian and Israeli peace, one game at a time:
(Schwarzman) "The game was great, we had lots of fun¿. We play together very nicely, the Israelis and Palistineans, we get along very good¿."
(UVM player) "I thought it was an awesome time. It was a beautiful thing to have people come from all over the world and play against you."
(Heffez) "You know we took ten days from our life, and we are now happier than we was before. Simple as that."
(Sound of game announcer) How about a big hand for both teams for participating in today's Friendship Game." (Sound of applause, cheering)
(Charnoff) For Vermont Public Radio, I'm Neal Charnoff in Burlington.

Yard Waste:
Yard wastes make up approximately 40% of our solid waste. Disposal costs are high and increase annually. It is highly recommended that residents try backyard composting as an alternative to disposal of yard waste. You may also want to consider mowing your lawn and leaving the grass. Recycling grass is good for your lawn. Grass clippings decompose quickly and return a perfect balance of nutrients to the soil and help the lawn resist drought.
Proper Disposal Procedure:
Yard waste is collected for our community composting site on 500 Mineral Springs Road
every week during the period starting the 1st week in May and to the 1st week in December.
Residents should arrange to have their yard waste at the curbside the night before or
before 7:00 am regular garbage day in:
1). Paper lawn and leaf bags: Available for purchase at Tops, Wegmans, Home Depot, Lowes,
most hardware stores, and at the Highway Department 5 bags for $3.00.
DO NOT USE plastic bags for yard waste. They will not be picked up!
2.) Open reusable containers: Examples: old garbage can without lid, bushel basket,
plastic container. Containers should not weigh over 50 pounds, and we ask that you
do not place rocks, metal or household garbage in with your yard waste.
3.) For quicker service: Residents may bring their yard waste to the Compost Site,
500 Mineral Springs, Monday - Friday 7:30 am - 2:30 pm.

Circuit de Catalunya
Lorenzo and Spies Deliver Double Podium in Catalunya
Yamaha Factory Racing riders Jorge Lorenzo and Ben Spies made it a double celebration today, taking second and third on the podium for the Grand Prix of Catalunya. World Champion Lorenzo grabbed the hole-shot off the line and team mate Spies shut the door neatly on Valentino Rossi to take third as they dropped into the first corner. The end of lap one saw Casey Stoner take the lead at the end of the straight, Lorenzo tucking in behind him and holding until the line for his fourth podium of the season. A white flag to signal some rain on the track caused some concern with 13 laps to go but was not severe enough to cause any rider to pit in and change to wet tyres.
Spies delivered the same consistent race pace in evidence from the beginning of the weekend, secure in third position from the first corner to the chequered flag. The Texan built a lead of around a second from Andrea Dovizioso for the duration of the race to claim his first podium for the Factory Yamaha Team.
The riders head straight to Silverstone now for a back-to-back race, Lorenzo still leading the championship with a seven point advantage over Casey Stoner. Team mate Spies jumps an impressive five places up the standings to seventh with 36 points, eleven points behind fellow American Nicky Hayden in sixth.
Jorge Lorenzo
Position 2nd Time +2.403
"I'm really happy with the result, I gave it the maximum! I overtook Casey on the start but I knew he could overtake me. I tried to stay with him and not to lose his back wheel for as long as possible. At the end it started to rain a little and it was tough to keep concentration in the last sector but we managed it. We are still leading the championship so let's see what happens in Silverstone."
Ben Spies
Position 3rd Time +4.291
"We just kept pushing and pushing and we were slowly catching up to Jorge, not necessarily to try and catch and pass him but to stay away from Andrea. The bike was great and I felt good on it and just needed a good result. After the first couple of laps I realised we had a shot at a podium so I rode as hard as I could. The tyre was a good choice for us today; we did what we came here to accomplish and that's good enough. Big thanks to the team who worked hard to deliver a great package this weekend, bring on Silverstone!"
Wilco Zeelenberg - Yamaha Factory Racing Team Manager
"Not a very spectacular race but second and third places are of course very important to us. We closed the gap we feel this weekend even if it was difficult circumstances. We said at the beginning it's important to finish every race on the podium. We need to solve some more issues and make some more steps but we are definitely heading in the right direction. I'm very happy for Jorge that he finished on the podium in front of his home crowd and for Ben for bouncing back from a difficult start to the year with his first podium."
Massimo Meregalli - Yamaha Factory Racing Team Director
"This weekend started well from Friday and everyday was better. To get both riders on the podium is a great success for the team. We were not so far from the leaders having worked hard and improved the bike a lot. We are optimistic thinking about the Silverstone race as that was also a good race last year for Yamaha."

Apple is working on a significant upgrade to its iCloud service that it will introduce at the company's World Wide Developers Conference in June, according to a Wall Street Journal report citing unnamed sources.
The new service is said to resemble the photo-sharing app and service Instagram, which has agreed to be bought out by Facebook for a cool $1 billion.
The Journal report (reg. required) also says the new iCloud — which will work in conjunction with the upcoming iOS6 — will also synchronize videos, "Notes" and "Reminders."
The news would also seem to support rumors that iPhoto 12 for for Mac is coming at the same time. That redesign is expected to align with iPhoto on Apple's mobile OS.
So clearly we have the cloud — iCloud namely — playing a starring role in Apple's future as it gears up to compete with Facebook and Google. With iCloud set to be featured in the upcoming OS X Lion, the cloud is set for the big screen for sure with iOS so dominant.
Gartner says it expects the personal cloud to replace the PC by 2014. It sure is looking more like 2012 with the iCloud moves, as well as with Google Drive and Big G's ultimate goal for cloud-based OS with Chrome and Google Drive, and of course Microsoft with its SkyDrive ambitions with Windows 8.
Have your say: Will the personal cloud replace the PC before 2014? And will Apple (or Microsoft) be able to keep up with web giants Facebook and Google?Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Called at 3 P.M. on 04/26/14 and spent 3-5:30 P.M. talking to Laneesha and phone still wouldn't work. Marcia added 60 minutes from old cell to new cell but kept getting error message that there was insufficient moneyon the phone. Could not make/receive calls, texts or messages. Told to call back again in 24 hours.
On Sunday, 04/27/14, at 10 A.M. called Tracfone to add minutes as phone kept giving error message there was insufficient money to make calls, send/receive texts, or receive calls. Spoke with Diana. Tried activating phone all day with *22890 and *22891 activation codes, same error message.
Called again at 3 P.M. Sunday to try and get phone activated. Spoke with Marcia and again unable to get phone working. Told Marcia I wanted to return the phone as it was defective. Was told I would have to pay for return shipping. I said I would not pay to return a defective phone that never worked. Asked to speak with her supervisor.
Tamika said basically the same thing and referred me to the invoice in the box I received the phone in. I had kept everything I received when I unpacked the phone, including the little plastic bags for the charger, battery, and adapter. The plastic bag that is used as packing material, and usually inflated, was flat when I opened the box. There was no invoice. Asked Tamika what the invoice looked like and she replied, "It's in a bag."
I said there wasn't any bag with an invoice in the box. She again iterated that I could return the phone but I would have to pay shipping. I asked to speak with her supervisor and was told the supervisor was not available. I then told her I wanted a refund on the minutes I purchased that day as I did not have a phone to use them on. She said they don't issue refunds for minutes purchased. I said I would contact my credit card company and she said they would not refund me my money.

To Rome by SeaAuthor: carolyn r.
Date of Trip: September 2006
Wecruised on Brilliance of the Seas at the end of September 2006 and it was a marvelous thing. There were five of us -- me, my wife, the two boys and my mother. The services on board were excellent and we always ate in abundance. On board they don't let you miss a thing!
We chose this cruise because we like Italy (Villefranche and Dubrovnik are equally beautiful). My wife likes Florence, Venice and Naples (the Amalfi Coast and Positano are two true jewels), but the city she loves in particular is Rome.She visited Rome some years ago and has remained in love with it.
We found the most prepared and punctual tour guide in all of Italy -- Phillip with Rome Tours. He has shown us so many attractions, all well explained, and we are still talking about our time with him. We have been to the Capitol Hill, Venice Plaza, the Roman Forum, the Trajan Forum, the maps of the Roman Empire, the Colosseum, the Arc of Constantine, the Catacombs, the Circus Maximus, the Mouth of Truth, the Fountain of Trevi and the Spanish Steps. We also visited the Vatican Museums, the Sistine Chapel and the Basilica of St. Pietro.
We have also gone to eat in restaurants that wereamazing with affordable prices. The "spaghetti amatriciana" and pizza were the best we have ever eaten.
See you very soon (I hope) Rome!
