One of the great things about buying a really old place is the inherent history and character in the apartment. I do know of people that would prefer to never have anything old, but I am definitely not one of them. I tend to embrace the squeaks in the floor and the imperfections that have developed over the past nearly one hundred years. This really makes me feel like I am a part of history and makes the place all that much more special to me. The great thing about the apartment is that it offers some amazing retreats. The hardwood floors are all original and I just think about all of the people that have called that place home. What were they like? What did they do for a living? Did they do anything illegal when they were living in the apartment. Those are the types of questions that I find myself thinking about in relation to the apartment. The other thing that I think is great about the apartment is the back porch. It is actually a concrete patio, but it overlooks City Park (kind of if you use your imagination) and you can see some of the buildings downtown. I do not think that those buildings will remain prominent for that much longer because the tree in the backyard will start to overshadow just about everything else, but I appreciate that it is there nonetheless. There are some issues that are starting to develop with the back patio and those are generally around the fact that it is starting to fall apart. I do not think that the previous concrete layers let the concrete dry completely before adding on the top layer. Or perhaps they tried to pour it when it was too cold out and they did not wrap the layers in a sheet to keep it warm. I am not totally sure why it is starting to crack and chip away, but I do know that it makes me worried for my hardwood floors. The hardwood floors can easily be scratched and indented, as it has already been both several times, this means that I have to make sure that I am not tracking in any of those pieces of the concrete from outside. There is a lot of bad that can happen to the hardwood floors, so I have to figure out the very best way to make that work. The other thing that I want to be sure of is making sure that when the concrete in the back is laid again that we choose to go with decorative concrete. That would make my heart happy because it would just further add to the ambiance of the place. There are a number of stories that you could tell through decorative concrete and that is exactly what I would be trying to accomplish. Just think about the number of houses that you are familiar with and whether they have a story that is being told by the concrete on their back patio. I am sure it is very few.
Give Your House New Life With Upgraded Blinds
The Devil in is the details. This phrase is often meant to disillusion big-picture minded people who want to only look at the grand scheme of things. However, it can also be a helpful principle for people looking to renovate a room or even their entire house. There is a Buddhist tale from the Samyutta Nikaya in which a nun compares Being to a chariot, which is actually just an assemblage of wooden parts in combination. We call that combination of distinct parts 'chariot', even though there is not true chariot. In the same way, your house or even a single room is an assemblage of distinct parts. When someone walks into your room as sees all of the parts in concert, they call it 'the room'. In reality, all of those parts constitute the room. All of this convoluted stuff is to say that the blinds, the flooring, the couches, the sink, and whatever else make up the aesthetic appeal of the room. So attention to detail and to the micro-parts of the room is how you really renovate and control the aesthetic of a room. When you upgrade your blinds, you can make a wonderful accent to the rest of the room. Adding a ton of things to the walls can often make the visual field too busy. I have seen a number of rooms that have just added, essentially, clutter to the walls in an effort to create accent and pop. Wood flooring can be a beautiful and elegant addition to a room. It has a bit of class while still harkening back to an older style. At the same time, this does not help the accent issue. The entire floor is covered in wood, which may be elegant and whatnot, but it creates further continuity. I think that fun blinds could be the easiest way to add small details and accent to a room without making it too busy. But new blinds are not just about fashion. They have function, too. Good, heavy, high quality blinds can help cut down on heating costs. They create a barrier between thin windowpanes and the house. They keep warm hair in the house when the weather is cold and they keep the hot air hot in the opposite conditions. Just as a laminate flooring is good for keeping a room clean while still looking nice, blinds combine fashion and function in a single swipe. You are able to achieve both, but you should ask the people working at the store what the best option is. Not all blinds are made equally. You can be the judge of the aesthetic appeal of the blinds, though advice cannot hurt. But you and I probably do not know the difference between energy efficient blinds and those that are not just by looking at them. Instead, it is better to ask for help and consultation in order to get the best possible product for you house. You can combine fashion and function with new, upgraded blinds.
Radon abatement is important for our health
It was totally by chance that we even discovered the high levels of radon in our house. It wasn't a radon remediation professional to discover the high levels in our basement but rather a home inspector who was helping us get set up to put the house on the market. To be totally honest, before he came by and gave us his inspection report I had never even heard of radon gas before. I had heard of and been concerned about carbon monoxide poisoning but in the 10 years of being a homeowner nobody had ever warned me about radon gas. I'm just thankful that however long this week has been going it was never strong enough to cause any health side effects in either me or my family. I wish I had known earlier about testing for radon levels and how to remove radon from your house because I would have called S. W. A. T environmental a long time ago. Maybe I should back up a few steps just in case there is anyone out there like me who has never heard of radon gas before.
The Guru approach to marketing for nonprofits
The other day one of our contributing members to our nonprofit organization stopped me and said he liked the way our Facebook page was coming along. He said the regularly updated content and scheduling was beneficial because he could keep up with the happenings in our NPO. For a brief moment I forgot that we even had a Facebook page but then I remembered we had been working with the nonprofit marketing gurus for some time and the exposure for our company online was ever increasing. The social media branding alone had paid off in spades because instead of having to always be proactive and seek out donors they were now approaching us with what they saw on our site. The number of likes we get each quarter has gone up which means more eyeballs are seeing our nonprofit organization than ever and that makes me happy. We chose the Nonprofit Marketing Gurus because they have a proven track record for being analytical and taking a scientific approach to marketing. Their nonprofit marketing campaign revolves around the idea that any company or nonprofit organization will benefit from increased visibility online. Another staple of their non profit marketing campaigns is mobile phone readiness and the ability for each company's website to be available via cross-platform. This of course is a multidimensional approach and one that requires a team of hard-working professionals on our side. Their tireless dedication towards promoting our nonprofit organization has led to some significant breakthroughs and achievements for our company.
The Top Types of Surgical Tables
There are many varieties of surgical tables available, some of which include:
General Surgical Tables – these are located in the many operating rooms of a general hospital. There, you may find a maternity ward where C-sections are performed. These tables are normally immobile in order to ensure that patients do not move accidentally during a procedure. A surgical knife is extremely sharp, and one wrong move could potentially cost the patients or their organs.
Orthopedic Tables – which can be adjusted to different angles to examine bones and joint structures in patients. An orthopedic surgeon may require a specialized table in order to conduct MT scans of the patient at the best angle in order to make the right diagnosis or cut for instance.
Urology Tables – has to do with the functionality of the bladder and waste systems. Images of these types of surgical tables are usually available online.
Delivery Tables – are different from the medical room tables depicted for C-sections. These delivery tables are where mothers are able to birth their children naturally without having to be operated upon. Many patients will find that delivery rooms are located near to operating rooms in the event of an emergency.
Exam Tables – medical room tables are standard in all exam rooms. These too can be adjusted and are necessary for helping doctors diagnose a range of illnesses, whether they're performing an exam with a stethoscope or using more detailed equipment like x-rays, MIT or CT scans.
How to Shop for an Operating Table
The medical community is always pressing forward treatments and creating technologically advanced equipment. Not to be forgotten are operating room tables, which are available from basic varieties to those that feature a range of features. One of the top news in the industry are those that are built to expedite the recovery time. We live in a world where productivity is key, and even after undergoing a major operation, many patients may want to get back on the horse – of work, school and life in general without causing harm to themselves. If there are tech-advanced tables that help for speedier recoveries, why wouldn't we choose these?
A medical team can shop for several operating tables by type, price as well as brand. For operating tables based on specialized niches, customers can shop on sites that carry a wide range of brands for different specialties. Furthermore, current operating tables can be upgraded or maintained with a specialized service provider.
Look for vendors that carry liability insurance in the event that the operating table fails for one reason or another. In addition, to ensure that there's no level of waste for services paid for, ask for warranties from the contractor.
If you're repairing an operating table, just as how a car insurance provider may offer a rental in the interim of the repair, some surgical table repairers too, will also provide a renter free of cost to the buyer. Call around or search online for additional details. Online sites may offer free shipping.
My first purchase of a loose diamond
The first time I purchased a loose diamond was a unique occasion for me. It was the time that I had decided that I had found the one that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with. Being able to get the perfect diamond for her was a big choice for me to make. I did decide to pick out of some loose diamonds what I wanted exactly and know that what I was giving was a good diamond. I did not know anything about diamonds has this was my first purchase. I had to be informed about what color cut clarity and the carat of the diamond was in order to make the right choice with the diamond. I also learned about what GIA certified diamonds were and why it was important to have one that had proper certification to it. Being able to purchase loose diamonds that are certified means that you were going to retain proper value and people will know that it is properly certified in order to make the right choice of purchase. Because I wanted to ensure that I had a one carat diamond meant that I was going to purchase the diamond lives. Then I was going to put it onto the ring of my choice and proposed to my future wife with it. Finding all the information out about diamonds made me feel much more comfortable handing over the money for the diamond. It can be a risky time of purchasing if you do it I'm informed of everything you need to know about purchasing diamonds. Quite surprising to learn that just because it had said it was a certain color cut and clarity doesn't mean that's always the case. Having the diamond with the proper certification means having the right security about what the diamond is and leaves nothing to risk. Is later when it came to ensuring the ring properly knowing that we had proper certification on the diamond made it that much easier. It was easy for someone to take and to put the value one because we have proper certification with the diamond. Being able to make the right choice about the diamond was very important. And having the knowledge and security the diamond was of good value a good choice and well worth the money meant a lot. Unfortunately I have heard a lot of terrible stories about those who try to obtain some diamonds in unique ways in which they were unable to get certified diamonds. This left then a great risk and caused some confusion with the diamonds because they were not properly certified. You were looking into making a purchase of loose diamonds whether it be whole sale diamonds or not be sure to find out all the differences between types of certified diamonds. You might not be getting truly what you were looking for if your diamond is certified using one system over the other. Knowing the difference can help you make the right choice in the right purchase about your diamond. Knowing how it is rated in each country can help to ensure that you're getting the proper value in the United States.
Children Surprise Parents With All-Inclusive Cruise Package For Fiftieth Birthday
Traveling to Greece had long been a dream of my mother's. They were known for having the most beautiful beaches in the world, amazing food, and so much history and culture. The pictures she had seen had enchanted her for years, and she could not wait to go. Our family vacations over the years had always been geared more towards making it kid friendly, but for her fiftieth birthday, we decided it was time to take a vacation for mom, and we surprised her by booking an all-inclusive cruise package in the Greek Isles. She was speechless for what seemed like ages when we presented her with the gift, and then she burst into tears. It took us a minute to be sure that they were tears of joy, because our mother almost never cried.
She was beside herself. She could not believe that her dream was coming true and that we had planned all of it without her knowing. We had also never been on a cruise before so it was a nice combination of visiting Greece and an all-inclusive cruise package that included so many other activities and good food. It was so exciting, and even some of our extended family members were able to join us. We were all big fans of celebrating birthdays, weddings, and graduations, so we always took any opportunity we could to plan something together.
Mom then spent weeks getting ready. She researched all of the ports that our luxury cruise would be stopping in, and all of the beaches, restaurants, and shops she wanted to take a look at while she was there. There were also several meals aboard the cruise prepared by top chefs and eaten while floating on top of the ship in the middle of the Greek isles, which could not be more beautiful. We were all anxious and ready to go by the time the cruise rolled around, but none more so than mom. She was in awe when we arrived at our destination port. She had barely been listening to anyone since we got off the plane, and just marveled at all of the beauty around her.
By the time the whole family got on the ship, she was finally speaking again. We had a big birthday dinner planned for her the first night, along with several different excursions throughout the week where we would be sure she was wined and dined in celebration of this milestone birthday. It was a great opportunity to see parts of Greece that even if you had been a regular visitor to Greece you might never have seen. Getting the opportunity to visit these ports and islands and taking it what might possibly be the most beautiful scenery on earth was tremendous for all of us. Overall it was one of the best vacations or celebrations we had ever planned, and we vowed to do more of these trips in the future. Mom declared it the best birthday present she had ever received!
Analytics consulting firms help advertisers better target their ads
The marketing and advertising industries have changed significantly over the past couple of decades, especially with the invention of the internet and later, social media. Technology has obviously improved the quality of things such as commercials, but it has also drastically changed the way commercials and other ads are targeting consumers. Social media has allowed for a whole host of new data to be collected about its users, from the types of music a person likes to where they like to hang out and with whom. Big data and analytics consulting firms can do tremendous amounts of work with this type of information, and if you are a marketing firm looking for expertise in targeting users of a particular type of technology, it would behoove your company to invest in an outside analytics consultant of some sort.
The information that can be gained from this type of analysis is invaluable. Understanding the needs and desires of every single person on the receiving end of an ad or commercial can help you target which ad is shown where, to how many people, and when. Data science techniques have advanced so far that a company with the right consulting firm on retainer can detect the grievance of a customer who might not be happy with something and instantaneously provide an electronic offer or discount that might help keep that otherwise upset customer happy, and hopefully, a repeat customer. These are sophisticated techniques that take the old routines of advertising and marketing one step further to target an individual, instead of the usual markets.
Any advertising or marketing firm needs to keep up with their competition, and this is what the competition is using. The market has turned from mass mailings to Facebook ads, and the way in which data is collected has changed significantly as well. By gathering information on what sites a person visits, which things they like on Facebook, and who they are connected to, an advertiser can gain quite a complete picture of what that person looks like. They certainly cannot do this by hand for every individual, and that is where big data analytics present a huge opportunity for advertising. By building models that can recognize those people, the system itself can generate the right advertising content for the right end user of that content.
This is a serious advancement in technology, and it is hard to picture how it could get more precise than it already is, but surely there will be a way someday. There is always someone looking for the next big breakthrough in data science, or big data, and there will always be advertisers who will want to use that information for better targeting their own information to consumers. This may seem manipulative, some critics would argue, but as someone who profoundly dislikes commercials, this author would be happier to see things targeted to me that I might actually use as opposed to the mass produced commercials on network television these days. Advertisers should consider that going forward.
How to Order Youth Group T-shirts
As a youth minister, I find it immensely rewarding to work with the children of the future. They are an important investment not only to our future society, but they are also an investment to the growth of our local congregation. I admire and respect their passion for the word of our Lord, and I also find that their dedication to the church as a whole to be inspiring. I feel that I can lead them down the proper path, and to have them guide themselves after only a small amount of instruction. During our youth group trips, I always find it pleasurable to reward them with a set of youth group t-shirts, as they like to remember each trip with a small memento in the form of a shirt. With each trip or event, each of the children are asking when they will receive their next shirt. While I can understand their desire for a new shirt each time, I need to have some time and coordination with the shirt printers before I can deliver on my promise of a new shirt.
Thankfully, there are many sources to get new youth group shirt printings ordered and completed. In my experience, it is a good idea to first get a sense of style the youth group is looking for. Do they want a simple and elegant design with a bible verse on the front? Or are they looking for something clever and witty to express on their shirt? I've found that by first finding out their desires for a custom shirt, it is easier to narrow down a design and begin the customization process.
After I choose the initial design (there are plenty of templates to choose from, or you can submit your own), I move on to the more technical side of things. Do the members of the youth group need a variety of sizes for their shirts? What time of season is it? With that in mind, I can decide if the youth group has enough money budgeted for custom long sleeve shirts for the winter months, or if I should opt for the classic short sleeved t-shirt. Different shirt colors and inks are also variables to consider when ordering custom youth group t-shirts. Also, if I can order in bulk, I can receive a smaller price per shirt. This is great for using extra shirts as promotion for getting new members to join your youth group.
When the selection is completed, be sure to show your congregation a proof of the custom youth group t-shirt so they can verify that the design is tailored exactly to their needs. To sweeten the deal of a new shirt, see if you can include personalized names on the back of each one. This is a great way to encourage other members of the youth group to get involved with future events. The process of creating custom t-shirts is a breeze, as many of the printing companies will help you every step of the way.
Things to Consider when Choosing a Wedding Caterer
There are a number of things you should know when hiring a wedding catering company. Couples should take into consideration several factors when they meet and hire a catering company for their wedding reception as there are a number of things that caterers won't be telling you upfront. Some caterers assume that you already know certain details so they won't bring it up, which is why you need to ask them.
Prior to hiring someone to provide catering services for your wedding reception, be sure you already have a venue booked. Not only does the venue determine how many guests will be invited to the reception but it will also determine whether you need to hire a caterer or not. Some venues have their own catering services and would not allow you to bring outside catering companies. Some venues have a list of accredited caterers that you can choose from. If you find a venue that allows you to bring in a caterer of your choice, then you can select a wedding catering company that best suits your needs and budget.
When meeting with a caterer, you should have a head count. It may not be exact but have an estimate and consider possible extras. Too much food is always better than having too little. Typically, the menu is priced on a per person basis and certain packages are made available depending on the number of persons to be served. Choosing menu packages would be easier if you have a good idea of how many guests you will be serving during the reception.
Couples also have a tendency to select meals based on their personal preferences, which may not be a good option unless your taste reflects majority of the food preferences of those on your guest list. If you ask your catering company, they will definitely comply with what you ask from them. However, you know your guests better than your caterers do, so be careful in choosing the menu. Most newlyweds rarely get to eat during their wedding reception, so select menu options that can satisfy majority of the people you invite to join in the celebration.
The wedding cake should also be considered. Many wedding catering companies include the cake in their packages but it would be wise to ask if the company you are hiring will be including them in your contract. You may end up with many cakes, but you sure would not want to end up without any wedding cake on your wedding reception. If your catering company does not have a pastry chef, then they might suggest some suppliers or chefs that they have worked with in the past. If they tell you that a crew can bake it, better pass on the offer and hire another company to prepare your wedding cake.
Finally, make sure that you hire a wedding catering company with credible references. While first-time caterers may have more budget-friendly options, it would be best not to experiment on your wedding day. If you're willing to risk though, make sure you schedule taste tests so you're not totally clueless how their food tastes like. Catering services are very important to the success of your wedding reception, so choose carefully.
IT support has become vital for real estate computer networks
The role that technology plays in real estate has exploded in the last couple of years. So much so that it's hard to find a real estate office that doesn't have an IT support specialist. There are a number of new applications that help real estate agents assist their clients. IT specialists are needed to teach those same real estate agents how the new applications can best serve their particular style of deal making. It can be quite a challenge to teach an old dog new tricks. But, that is exactly what so many IT support technicians are up against when they deal with the older agents that have been practicing real estate the same way since the seventies and eighties. Most real estate firms have come to realize that in the modern climate potential buyers and sellers have access to much more information than they had in the past. It has become much more difficult to sign a buyer or seller considering the amount of websites that list properties and digitize the process. The internet has made buying and selling homes so easy that many people don't find the help of a real estate agent worth the price. That has led real estate firms to figure out what they can provide that no website can provide. The answer is two fold. The first part is obviously the human touch. The second part is expertise. Ironically, technology makes it much easier for real estate agents to offer both parts. So, the industry has embraced technology which has created a huge demand for in house IT support. Computer networks allow the real estate agent to create a customized list of potential homes for buyers. It also allows sellers to get their property in front of many more potential buyers than ever before. The thing that really changes the conventional paradigm is that computer networks now allow all the agents within a brokerage to work together. When all the information that one agent has collected in the course of a month is entered into a database that also stores all the information from all the other agents within the brokerage, there are numerous patterns and statistics that can be analyzed and interpreted into valuable insight into the market. Through mobile apps, that same information and insight can allow all the different agents in a brokerage to be constantly connected and constantly working together for the greater good. In the past, a real estate brokerage was simply a bunch of agents working for themselves. Today, a real estate brokerage is a team of agents working together. The glue that keeps them together is a complex computer network, which is maintained by an IT support team. That same IT support team is constantly working on ways to improve the network through research and testing. The hardest part of IT support in real estate would have to be the continuing education that is necessary to keep old school agents at the fore front of technology.
Because there are Different Kinds of Headaches, there are Various Different Forms of Headache Relief.
The medical field is growing rapidly. Unfortunately, the reason this is the case is the fact that there is such a high demand for all different kinds of medical specialists. Sadly, health problems in our society are not going to go away, and though prevention is often the best way to go about thing, treatment is equally important and necessary. Some of the most important conditions to develop treatments for are those which cause chronic pain and have enduring symptoms. One of the most common types of chronic pain are headaches. Headaches are referred to as one type of pain, but they actually have a variety of causes. Because there are different kinds of headaches, there are various different forms of headache relief that are available. Though the common medical approach has often been to prescribe painkillers to alleviate the pain, this is not a long-term solution and, ultimately, does nothing to actually correct the problem. That is why, if you are a person who suffers from frequent headaches of any kind, you should begin looking into actual treatments. Painkillers, narcotic or otherwise, can only do so much. Two of the most severe kinds of headaches are migraine headaches and cluster headaches. Migraines and cluster headaches are classified more by their symptoms than by their cause. For the most part, they both are conditions that are still being researched, but there are some natural treatments that have proven effective. As a matter of fact, migraine headaches have a variety of causes. It has to do with pressure in the arteries in the patent's head, but this can be triggered by a plethora of different causes. This is to say, there is no one single trigger for migraine headaches. This is why there are so many ways to go about migraine relief. As with other forms of headaches, doctors have often relied on painkillers to reduce symptoms, but this is truly not the best approach. If it even does manage to alleviate the symptoms temporarily, that will be all it can do. Painkillers do nothing to treat the condition. In many cases, migraines can be treated naturally, with various forms of physical and psychological treatments and therapies. With migraines, and most other types of headaches, in fact, pressure in the head is a major factor. If therapy or another treatment can relieve that pressure and allow your muscles, ligaments, and bones to align themselves better, you may be able to reduce your headache symptoms. That is why a lot of natural headache treatments involve realigning various muscles in the patient's head. If done correctly, this has been known to make a very large difference, when it comes to headaches. Psychological therapy also plays a large role, sometimes, though. The reason this is the case is that stress is related to headaches. They are not the direct cause, but they are closely related, and relieving stress can relieve your headaches. In generally, natural headache relief is the way to go because it has more long-lasting and effective results.
Garage Door Openers Are Great For Snowy Climates
Can we talk about the weather for a minute? I know that the weather is supposed to the dullest of topic, but as a transplanted Hooiser, I have noticed that the proper respect for the brutality of Indiana winters is not fully recognized. Surprisingly to some, Indiana winters are terrible. We get what is called "lake-effect snow", which is when all of the winds over Lake Michigan swirl around and gather steam before dumping terrible snow over Indiana, even though it is south of Wisconsin. In my many years living in Indiana, I have come to appreciate how bad the winters can be, and thus, how great garage door openers are. They may seem like a luxury to people that are not from places that get that horrible wet, icy, humid snow that people in Indiana and other parts of the country get. For people living in these frigid climates, it is a big deal to have a garage and a garage door opener that works properly. Because it matters so much when the weather is bad, you want to make sure that you hire the right person so that you get the job done properly. It may seem like an easy job, but there is a lot at stake in these cold conditions. Despite the appearance of simplicity, garage door service is actually far more complicated than it appears. As one who has tried and failed to repair garage doors, I think that there are two reasons for this. The first is that a garage is in near constant use. Let's pretend there is someone who works a "normal" job, meaning goes everyday except for Saturdays and Sundays, and drives to work. They are going to use that garage door opener at least twice a day. They will probably use it more than that. So it is in constant use. The second reason is that, while the opening and closing of the door, is done through the metal rails and steel chain, the garage door opener is an electronic element that uses sensor and different circuits. For untrained repairmen, this can be quite complicated. So it is no easy task. And when the weather gets brutal, you want the job to be done right. A small inconvenience gets compounded when there are a couple feet of humid snow on the ground. I remember the hassles that I had to endure during high school in Indiana. Naturally, my parents used the garage doors and my car was parked outside. I remember Indiana winters in which I had to put a pot of water on the stove, get it to a rolling boil before school, and pour it over my car door to melt the ice that was caking the door shut. It sounds like hyperbole but these are true stories. Garage doors do not seem like luxuries when you put them in extreme climates. Instead, they seem quite reasonable. Make sure that you get a serious garage door repair company so that you are not stuck out in the cold.
LED lights can be displayed in a number of different ways
I have used search engines and information blogs play entire life as a means of finding information about things I am interested or relevant to my life. For all of these years that I have gathered information I have done very little to contribute towards that stockpile of information out there. Recently however I was introduced to LED lighting and it's many benefits and wonderful uses. It only seems right that I should get online to post a blog about it because who knows, there might be someone like me out there who is looking for random information on the web. I first came to learn about LED lighting as a student at University. I had a part time job working for the theater on campus and for some shows that were more technically involved we had to use intricate lighting to create some pretty amazing effects. I specifically remember my very first time using what are called LED panels for the background of a talent show. The setup was pretty simple, there were just a bunch of square LED panels that interlocked with one another. I didn't have anything to do with the electrical wiring but even that looked pretty simple as all of the components were connected to a single controller. Once the final LED tile had been put in place the background measured about 15 feet long by 10 feet tall and it pretty much just displayed simple graphics and colors to keep things interesting. That is what you would call a low resolution LED display but you can also get a high-resolution LED display if you wish to have a more detailed image on the screen.
I am not familiar with all of the LED related companies but I have experience working with one called pixel flex. They are a very cutting-edge and innovative company that has produced some very interesting products in the past few years. There is something I have been eager to work with for a while and it is called an LED curtain. Similar in theory to the LED panels but the curtain is 60 to 90% less weight and flexible. If we had an LED curtain for that concert it would have been perfect for the sequence where the American flag was waving in the background. I would have set it up so that the curtain was wavy just like the image on it.
Did you know that LED light bulbs do not produce heat? It's something that I was unaware of until I actually worked with the product myself but even after the LED wall that we had been working on was displaying images for nearly 2 hours the light bulbs did not get hot. LED is truly a remarkable invention and one that has been used many times over and concerts, events, trade shows and theaters all over the world. The ease of set up that you find with PixelFLEX's products means that you can let your imagination run wild. Give PixelFlEX a call and they can tell you even more!

What are the types of steel buildings?
Steel buildings are some of the most versatile and flexible buildings on the market. They are not only affordable, but they are also easy to mold into the exact shape and function that you want! Steel became popular for a number of reasons. First, it is cost effective, regardless of the size or shape of the building you are looking for. Imagine building a gymnasium out of brick! Now imagine building one out of steel; the construction costs alone make the difference, but add to that a reduction in the cost of building materials with the added flexibility of a wide open interior, and you have yourself what we in the business call a no brainer. Second, it is durable and structurally sound. Steel is strong, and steel lasts. It simply makes sense to create something that will last, so choosing steel is the best option in terms of longevity. And of course, there is exterior and aesthetic flexibility in the project as well. Steel buildings do not have to look like steel on the outside if you prefer the polished look of brick or another material. Siding is absolutely an option to spice up the exterior and give you the best of both worlds!
There are a few types of steel buildings. These include straight walled buildings, arch buildings, and Nissen or Quonset huts. There are also classifications that these buildings fall into, either clear span or multiple span buildings. Clear span buildings do not have structural supports, such as columns. These are the types that are ideal for gyms, halls, and structures that are best served by wide open spaces. These buildings are able to be free of internal supports as they use large support beams overhead. This reduces the need for ground supports. Clear spans buildings are useful for certain purposes, however they tend to be more expensive than structures that do utilize columns for support. Still, function serves form, and in the case of aircraft hangers and other uses, these supports do not make sense. Multiple span, however, have supports here and there.
Straight walled and arch are descriptors for the exterior of the structure. Both tend to be considered arch forms if they are characterized by a rigid structure of framing. Curved roofs are also lumped into the arch structure category. Steel arch buildings are cost efficient for specific functions. For example, Nissen and Quonset huts are prefabricated steel buildings that can be easily placed in any area, Nissen huts being characterized by the use of corrugated steel, generally speaking. While these arch structures are cost effective, straight walled structures allow for more usable inside space, as the sloping walls and roof do not inhibit the amount of usable room. Straight walled buildings tend to be better than arches when adding onto existing structures and are often utilized in commercial and industrial settings.
General Steel offers great variety and product quality when selecting a metal building company. Their prefabricated structures can be depended on and are the best option in the industry!
Five Reasons to Own a Metal Building
There are myriad advantages to owning a metal building. Why buy wood when it rots or burns…or gets infested with termites? Why choose stone when masonry is overpriced and stone will erode over time? Steel will outlast and outperform any other building material. That is why, when you are thinking about building your next structure, a steel building should be the only thing you consider. What are the biggest advantages of a steel building? Let's find out:
1. Customization: A steel building can be customized thanks to the process called "prefabrication" where you make all decisions about the shape and design of the building, and those decisions are used to fabricate the parts necessary to create your building exactly as planned. You do not need extra carpenters or masons on the jobsite to ensure your custom work is completed as planned, because prefabrication ensures every part is made to specifications without any upset. Is that the case with wooden or stone buildings? No. Usually, stone and wood customizations are done on the actual jobsite, by advanced laborers like carpenters and masons, and the cost of their services can be double or triple that of general construction laborers.
2. Strength: Pound for pound, steel is the strongest commonly available construction material on the market today. When it comes to standing the test of time, steel buildings will certainly be the last thing standing as a monument to our industrial accomplishments. Where wood and stone would fail in the face of inclement weather, a properly constructed prefabricated steel building will stand laughing in the face of nature's rage. Simply put, there is likely nothing that will outperform steel in a construction environment any time soon.
3. Cost: There are many things that make steel building the best way to spend your construction dollar. With prefabrication, components cost less. With the lost need for advanced laborers like carpenters or masons, you save money on labor costs. Thanks to the strength of the steel building, it will outlast any other structure around. Also, because steel is recyclable, reusable and easy to assemble, you are saving even more money. The cost of a steel building, although initially expensive, will pay for itself a hundred times over in the myriad advantages it bestows the owner.
4. Simple Construction: Putting together a steel building is a breeze compared to other structures and building materials. No carpenters, no masons. All you need is your prefabricated steel building kit (made to your specifications) and the crew & tools needed to assemble it. A general contractor and the right equipment are all you will really need to get a steel building erected, and that will just serve as one more place for you to save money on your steel building. Simple construction leads to lower costs.
5. Low Maintenance: Did we mention that steel buildings are virtually no-maintenance? That is right; steel buildings require almost no upkeep to help keep them together. Of course, you'll want to pressure wash the walls occasionally, and be sure there are no rust spots, but that is about it. If you have been agonizing over the maintenance on your next building, you should strongly consider a steel building to make it happen for you.
Regardless of how Tidy You are, You Need to Schedule a Professional Carpet Cleaning every Year or Two.
Sometimes the struggle to keep your home clean can seem futile. Nonetheless, you cannot give up, or else the mess will only get worse and worse. Of course, one of the biggest things you can do to help yourself is keep up with the daily cleaning rituals. If you can keep up with sweeping, vacuuming, dusting, and various other necessary chores, you will probably have less long-term cleaning to worry about. Of course, regardless of how tidy you are, you need to schedule a professional carpet cleaning every year or two. This is because your carpet, as well as many other surfaces in your home, build up dirt and grime over the months and years that you will not be able to remove on your own. Professional cleaning techniques are necessary for this type of thorough cleaning. Some cleaning services can clean various different types of materials in your home. When it comes to carpet cleaning businesses, you need to be sure that they are utilizing the best cleaning techniques. A lot of carpet cleaning businesses rely on the old-fashioned method, in which the carpet is washed in a lot of water and very harsh soap. There are countless drawbacks to this method of cleaning. Firstly, it is not very effective, as it leaves your carpet wet for over twenty-four hours, which is long enough for more mold and bacteria to grow. Plus, the soaps themselves can stay stuck in the carpet if they do not get rinsed out properly. This creates even more mold. The other big downside to this type of cleaning is the fact that it is bad for the environment, and it can even pose a threat to your children and pets. The more modern and effective way to clean carpets is carbonation. It is a system that involves extracting individual particles of dirt and mold, using tiny bubbles. It is very effective at cleaning and sanitizing your carpet, and it only leaves the carpet damp for a matter of hours, not days. Carbonation is best for general cleaning, though, so other techniques need to be utilized for pet urine removal and other specialized types of cleaning. This sort of stain does, in fact, require some more traditional and potent cleaning products. Of course, the best car
How to Inform, Invite, and Prepare Your Guests for the Wedding
Planning and preparing for a wedding can be both exciting and overwhelming. It is best that you have a specific plan of attack on how to organize all of your elements together. Between sixteen months to nine months prior to your wedding, you should have prepared and planned these things: (1) wedding binder; (2) budget; (3) entourage; (4) guest list; (5) wedding planner; (6) wedding date; (7) wedding venue; (8) officiant; (9) engagement party.
You should also be researching on your wedding band, caterers, florists, photographers, and videographers so that eight months prior to your wedding, you can already meet and book them.
Eight months prior to your wedding would be the best time to start shopping for your dress. You can also choose to rent one. Schedule at least three fittings to make sure that you will look great on your wedding. You do not need to get your veil this early.
Hotel for Guests
It is important that you help your out-of-town guests reserve their hotel rooms for them. Make sure to pick three hotels close to the reception venue. Good wedding venues should have many hotels and lodging near them. The hotels you will offer to book for your out-of-town guests should be of different price points.
It is difficult for anyone to choose a good gift. You have to help your guests by providing them a list of your preferred items by having a wedding registry. Sign up to at least three retailers so that your guests will have several options.
Wedding Website
As most people are online most of the time with the advent of mobile computing, it is good to have a wedding website, as well. The website should both be beautiful and informative. Setting your wedding at Chateaux at Fox will give you beautiful shots to use for your website. You should include the basic details such as wedding date and venue. Include travel information and accommodations, as well.
If you do not have a budget for it, there are websites that are willing to provide you a page so you can have a webpage to provide those needed information to your guests.
When you are done putting together your wedding website, sent the link to your invitees.
Although an online invitation through your wedding website is good enough information to be given to you your invitees, it would still be nice to have the good old fashioned paper invitation to be sent out to guests. Having a beautiful invitation would be a beautiful addition to your wedding memory box, as well. Between seven to six months prior to your wedding, evaluate and select among at least three potential suppliers. If you hired a wedding planner, he or she will have some insights on which vendors are good and are nice to deal with.
If you want the specific names of your invitees etched well on your invitation, you can decide to hire a calligrapher. Make sure to discuss properly your budget as addressing cards can be time-consuming.
This Dumpster Rental Service was the answer for me when I needed to move
It's a weird thing to suspect that you might be a hoarder. I have always considered myself to just be pragmatic. I keep things that others might throw away because you just never know when you might need that receipt, that old textbook, or those pants or shoes you haven't worn in years. I subconsciously realized that I need to get rid of these things at some point, but I filed them away just in case. My girlfriend and I had started to get more serious and began planning on moving into a place together, and there is just no way I could take all of this with me. It's a wonder that she isn't more appalled by my massive accumulations. The place we were moving into was not much bigger than the place I was living in currently, but it was certainly nicer. She insisted there was no way that all of my stuff was going to fit in the new place, and after thinking about it, I realized she was right. The day came that I started to sort things that I really needed, and it was pretty staggering just how much junk I had managed to acquire and stack up over the years I've lived there. So in addition to a moving truck, I began going over the logistics of how many trips I'd need to make to the dump in my car. I was starting to get upset at the idea of making so many back and forth trips in my car, when it occurred to me that maybe I wouldn't have to.
I wondered if there was somewhere I could rent a dumpster. I thought that it would certainly make this endeavor a lot more convenient. As luck would have it I stumbled on these guys online; a locally owned and operated roll off dumpster rental service. At first I was skeptical, I worried that it wouldn't be affordable for a resident to rent, but I was wrong. They offer very competitive prices for businesses as well as residents. I'm not real big on recycling, but I could definitely appreciate the fact that they offered some of these options for those that do.
The website was very easy to navigate, with options on the left side of the screen for any questions I had. My first priority was making sure that I knew all the in's and out's. They have a very informative instructional page that takes you through all the necessary steps that you might need to take before you rent the dumpster, including what you might need to know during your operation, the limits of the dumpster, and then how to rent. The staff of this dumpster rental service was friendly, prompt and helpful. The dumpster was delivered to me by knowledgeable individuals who were able to lend a hand on matters I wasn't so sure on, and everything just went so smoothly. Now my girlfriend is happy because I got rid of so much useless junk, and I'm happy because our new place will have plenty of space for all my new junk.

Have a residential roofing company check out your roof first
Moving into a new home can be an exciting time. There are lots of things to look forward to and settling in is always best. And important thing about it home in one of the more expensive things that homeowner must take notice of is the roof. Roof repairs can range widely from inexpensive to very expensive. Knowing that your roof is in good condition when you are moving into it can help you decide whether or not it is the home for you. If there are roof repairs just around the corner you may want to consider that when you offer your price on the home. Having a residential roofing company come by to do a visual inspection can be one of your best options in looking into a new home. Moving it's exciting and sometimes we forget to ask certain questions. But by having it inspected at the time of deciding what you are going to offer for the home will help to make sure that it is the right home for you. Residential roofing companies are the experts on knowing about roofs. Sometimes not everything is noticed by someone who is a regular inspector. They usually know a lot about different items from home and can help recognize problems. But to get the in-depth look at your roof takes expert experience to find out every little opportunity to look at how the roof is performing. If you notice that there are visual sagging going on in the roof. Or there are water starts in the home on the ceiling these are good indication there may be some major issues going on inside that roof. Residential roofers are experts in letting you know exactly what you're looking at in repair costs should something. Be wrong with the roof. By being able to check out beforehand you can save yourself the misery of overpaying is something serious is wrong. Roof repair can get very expensive. And knowing that your roof is in good shape before you move in will help you determine that you have the right home for you. Don't forget about the roof when it comes to your home. Many times we expect certain things to perform and we trust that all is well. But doing a constant visual inspection of the roof is always a good idea. Many experts believe that you should always do a visual inspection after any storm rolls through town. These are the times when most damages occur the quicker you catch the problems that may have occur the better off you are. You can save yourself thousands of dollars' worth of bills when you catch something like this early. Over time the roof will have a tendency to wear out. Knowing how long the roof has to go before you can expect repairs can also be a good thing to know when moving into a new home. So when it comes time to enjoy a new move remember that the roof is your first line of defense against the weather. My taking the time to have it inspected by a residential roofing company will help you to enjoy your home and know exactly what shape it is in when you move in.

Well Tucked: A Survey of Great iPad Cases
The iPad's extreme portability is simultaneously glaringly obvious and overlooked in favor of its flashier tech wonders.

That usually doesn't work out well. Here are 30 great options — leather, wool, propped, or otherwise — that should keep your tablet ticking and looking good.

You saved me from having to sneek out to get my wife a valentine present. I also want to thank you for your choice of wraping and packaging. My wife had no idea what she was getting. Thank you!

Comments about Euphoria Intense Cologne:
I wear a variety of different brands and styles of cologne and the Intense Euphoria is definitely one of my new favorites. My wife loves the smell as well. I've also received compliments from others asking what I'm wearing. If you want an attention getter and something that you can also enjoy wearing daily this is the winner. I bought the tester and at under $50 for a great cologne is a bargain. Downsides?? My only complaint would be its lasting effect, I find myself having to apply it twice a day. The sillage is great, the scents change and do it often so you pick up all sorts of complex sweets and spices. Overall this is a great product, in my opinion Calvin Klein's best mens cologne.

Interviews at Lehigh University are designed for students who would feel more comfortable in a one-on-one situation, have many specific questions, and/or have a personal situation to discuss. Interviews are not required for admission. Though evaluative in nature, they are one part of the holistic review our staff uses when considering an application for admission.
In terms of demonstrated interest, on-campus interviews are considered equivalent to the Group Information Sessions (thus, doing both the Group Session and interview is unnecessary). In fact, we highly recommend that the Group Information Session be your first choice since it is more comprehensive.
Please call at least 24 hours in advance to schedule.

Poured into a shaker pint glass.
A nice amber red color holds a cream colored head that retains well and leaves good lacing. The nose is hit with woody spices, earth notes, and hops. The beer tastes earthy and woody up front. Some subtle toffee sweetness mingles in before a citric, bitter hop finish. Mouthfeel is medium in weight. Overall, I'm overwhelmed with the hops and lack of malty caramel tones.

From: France44 dot com
Date: Best by 2013-04-27
Glass: Standard US pint glass
Odell's Red is a well-balanced blend of hoppy and amber malts.
Porus a 2cm head of beige to light-tan foam, made up of small to medium-size bubbles. Excellent lacing, cascading strata adorning the inside of the glass. Head has above average retention, eventually receding to a thin cap atop the body of the beer. Body is a dark amber-garnet color, with light bringing out red, orange, and brown hues.
Aroma is malty, hoppy, and fruity (esters) with good balance that plays a modest toffee and brown sugar maltiness off a very citrusy, grapefruit rind-like hop component, with the hint of toasted nuts making this even more interesting.
Front of the palate finds toffee-like malts with flowery and citrusy hops. Mid-palate is hop-forward with grapefruit flavors and bitterness, well-matched, but still overplaying toffee-like malts. The back of the palate finds increased bitterness from hops and toffee-like malt sweetness. Aftertaste features lingering moderate bitterness and grapefruit flavor with a sweet, toffee-like nuance in the back.
Beer is medium to medium-heavy in body, with carbonation levels of medium intensity, resulting in a smooth, slighty foamy mouthfeel. Closes dry, with little residual stickiness lingering on palate.

Pours a perfect red/amber color, with a nice head and just a bit of cloudiness (as I like it). Smell is delicious hops, but not overpowering. The taste is the same. They nailed the maltiness a red ale should have and then kicked the hops up a bit too. Hop profile is more like an American IPA. It's really tasty! Mouthfeel is great, perhaps a bit overcarbonated, but not much. This is one of the best American amber/red ale's I've had and another really impressive brew from Odell! I wish I could get their stuff regularly!

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 4
From a 355 ml bottle (best before May 29, 2013) into a globe glass.
A-This brew pours with two fingers of tan foam. The head has decent staying power and leaves some lacing on the glass. The brew is mostly clear and garnet/ruby hued with brown highlights.
S-This brew smells great. It is quite spicy with a fair dose of mint and pine-scented hops. I detect a little whiff of caramel-scented malts to balance things out.
T-The taste is not as intense as the smell. There is still a spicy, herbal, pine hop component that dominates, but the malts move up in strength and sort of mute the spiciness. A nicely balanced brew with a spicy finish.
M-The feel is a little watery and light for me. I could have used a bit more heft.
O-This is a well-done red ale with good looks and good drinkability. The smell especially hits all the right notes with lots of spice and herb character, but there is enough malt here to distinguish this from an IPA. I would definitely drink this again.

The beer comes out a rich red color with a thick, creamy light tan head; plenty of stickiness and lacing on the glass. Strong pine and spruce hop aromas emanate from the beer with a good biscuit and caramel malt presence in the background. The taste is rich and malty (caramel predominantly) with a prominent hop bitterness blending nicely with everything. The feel is almost medium in body with a fairly clean, smooth finsih.
Odell's makes some fine hoppy beers, and their Red is no exception. Rich and flavorful with good balance and complexity makes this a beer to look forward to year after year.

This poured out as a beautiful clear red color with a cream colored head on top. The lacing is good as well as the retention. The smell of the beer has a really nice hoppy pine aroma coming off of it with a slight sweet toasted aroma in there too,. The taste of the beer is moderately sweet up front with a very nice bitter finish. The mouthfeel is sharp but remains highly drinkable. Good carbonation and body. Overall it's a very good brew. Really enjoy this one.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured from the bottle into a stemless wine glass.
A real nice orange amber body, hints of red on the edges, and slow rising carbonation goes up. Head is a clumpy off tan, that has major retention and hang on everything. A real aggresive and impressive looking brew.
Nose brings a bounty of ripping malts and hops. Ripping grain action, with a hint of light toast. The hops have a little bit of earth quality, but get a bit herbal, making the malt even sweeter almost caramel dominant. Either way it's impressive.
Palate turns it down a bit though from everything anticipated. Light malts with some good doughy like density, ripping grain is turned down a bit, without the big husky quality. Hop angle seems a little lost, but brings some lingering sweetness of tea and herbs on the finish.
Overall though it's still an enjoyable brew from these guys and I can see myself drinking a lot of this very casually.

Beautiful deep red color with a great thick tan head, which dissipates quickly leaving a thick lacing. Smells like an IPA, citrus hops with a small amount of malts breaking through. I'm a little worried as the bottle promises a Red Ale, not an IPA. After tasting, I'm quite torn on this one; it tastes excellent but is a bit more an IPA. Bright citrus and piney hops up front followed by the malty bready kick I was looking for. Expertly carbonated and smooth.
What can I say? It's fantastic if not completely true to style.

This is fresh, first batch of the year
A – Pours a strong 2" head, settles down to A light amber pillow that stays throughout, leaving good lace.
S – Hops, citrus, lemon, grapefruit, this beer also adds in clover, honey and cinnamon, great winter time notes; however they are greatly subdued.
T – Nice hop character, great balance with the malt however. The clover honey comes through again, there is a nice sweet malt balance here, but it is not overdone.
M – Just about perfect, smooth, velvet, this is exceptional, if anything it has a short finish.
O – Wonderful beer, too bad it is only a seasonal offering, but it just makes this beer that much better. Perfect balance, brings subdued local winter spice to a nice and hoppy beer. A+ Odell.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Appearance - Dark Hazy Orange with no carbonation. Good amount of lacing on the side. Good head retention on the side
Smell - Citrus Hops, Caramel, Yeasts, and Malts. Fairly simple, but fairly rich
Taste - Piney Hops, Caramel, Yeasts, with a fairly strong malty backbone. Blurs the line between Red Ale and IPA
Mouthfeel - Light Bodied and moderate carbonation with the end result being rather crisp.
Overall - I'd feel comfortable calling it an IPA rather than a Red Ale, but whatever you call it, it's still a pleasure to drink.

3.8/5 rDev -6.4%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
When it escapes the bottle there is an immediate but fleeting air of spiky pine which morphs into a maltiness as attention is focused away on its rick mahoganoy brown body and light yellowy tan 1/4 inch head. No real beading but there is fizz but the head manages to stick in there. Some long reasonably appetising earthy bitterness, some edge and some density and juice before ending back to a more lively civil dry earth.
Doesn't really become fully intergrated and remains a bit all over the place. Could do with more definition and precision but still delivers some impact though not as much as I would hope.

Bottle enjoyed in Estes Park, CO...quite stunning. The beer pours deep amber/mahogany with a well-made head of sticky bubbles. The aroma is pine and herbal grassiness with just a hint of brown sugar peeking through. Flavor favors malt more with caramel, shortbread, and biscuit. Hop flavor and bitterness is still firm with another hit of pine, some citrus, and an earthy element that separates it from other big American reds. Slightly resinous, oily mouthfeel along with the pine makes this perfect for a spring evening in the Rocky Mountains.

Appearance: dark amber, medium head, and good lacing.
Smell: grapefruit citrus and hops.
Taste: rich malts, whole hops, and a hint of citrus.
Mouthfeel: medium and slightly malty.
This is a nice brew. The balance is very good. I was surprised not to get a strong citrus flavor like the aroma suggested.

A- Poured a 1 finger head with medium to poor retention. Plenty of lacing left on the glass and the body had haze for dayz.
S- Had a sweet smell up front. Hops, a bit of pine, a hint of grapefruit, caramel and honey.
T- Hoppy start with a caramel/honey backbone. Small detection of grapefruit but it hides in there pretty well.
M- Excellent. Medium to low carbonation and an oily, textured and well bodied mouthfeel.
O- Pretty good. I could see how this would be an excellent beer to pair with some ribs or a pork chop.

Pours a slightly reddish amber color with 1 finger of white head. Wow, this has a much larger aroma than I was expecting, it almost smells exactly like their IPA. Lots of bright citrus (grapefruit) up front with a strong pine behind it, a touch of caramel malt sweetness at the very end of the aroma. The taste is interesting, the malt presence is much more prominent and clashes ever so slightly with the hops. The mouthfeel is very smooth and drinkable. Overall this is a good brew but I prefer their IPA. The hop profiles were very similar but I thought they matched better to the dryness of the IPA vs. the maltiness of this beer. Still worth seeking out especially if you like maltier IPA's or Hoppy Reds.

A nearly clear, red-tinted amber body with a smallish white head that settles down fairly quickly. Spotty lacing.
Nice enough aroma, citrus hops and caramel malt well balanced. Touches of pineapple, grapefruit, pine resins. Flavor follows suit, prominent hoppiness (again mostly citrus with subtle pine notes) offset by moderately sweet caramel malt.
Body is medium as is the carbonation. A bit creamy, with a dry finish and a little bit of lingering bitterness in the aftertaste.
Another nice hoppy beer from Odell; this one, along with Lagunitas' Imperial Red (and others) seem to be retorts to the wild success of Troegs' Nugget Nectar. Not quite as good as the original but pretty damn tasty. I am continually impressed with the quality of Odell's beers.

Poured into a pint glass from a 12oz bottle.
Pours a nice perfect amber color with some slight darkness and haze to it. There is a nice 0.5 inch head that forms and has some nice dense bubbles with some off-white color. The head recedes to a nice ring around the glass.
Nose starts off with some nice sweet malt that is combined and plays well with some nice grassy herbal hop notes. Nice bready notes that are also complimented by some spicy piney hop. Herbal notes with some slight citrus is perceived as well. Aroma is a bit light.
The taste confirms the nose. Very bready and delicious. Fresh baked grainy and slightly sweet bread. Very nice. The bread is complimented well by spicy hop resin notes. Some nice grass and pine as well as slight orange and tangerine notes in the middle. The flavor is really nice and drinkable. A solid American Amber with good malt backbone and nice refreshing hop notes. Crisp and clean with a nice earthy and bitter finish.
This a good amber. Very crisp and clean with nice bready notes. Overall a good refreshing example of the style. Good malt backbone with great floral hop kicks.

Pours a dark ruby with a thumbs width beige head. Nice lacing. Wow... what a wonderful wonderful aroma. Sweet and hoppy and incredibly balanced between the two. Nectarine, grapefruit, a little pine. I could just sit and sniff this all night I think. Flavor is just as good. The grapefruit and pine seem to hit you in the forefront but its balanced extremely well by the malt backbone which provides some delicious toasty graininess and caramel sweetness, with a touch of some berry in there. A nice silky mouthfeel with an appropriate level of activity from the carbonation. Medium bodied. Overall, my favorite red ale. Love the marriage between malt and hops in this one. Odell with a grand slam.

A random single I grabbed on a recent trip to the US.
A - Pours a hazy dark orange colour with a rudy red hue, solid finger of soapy white head, solid retention and nice spotty lacing.
S - Sweet citrus hops, surprisingly resiny, hints of sugary maple and a touch of caramel on the finish.
T - Nice sweet citrus hops off the top, nicely balanced with a rich caramel malt backbone, touch of resiny hops linger alongside hints of citrus rind and pineapple.
M - Medium bodied, smooth and touch of dryness on the finish.
O - Incredibly tasty red ale, solid hop presence but nicely balanced with the caramel malts. Highly recommended and incredibly drinkable. This stuff on tap, I would imagine, would be irresistible.

This is an amazing brew from Odells in Colorado it smells great reminding me of the aroma of a glass of Guava juice that i used to have when I was a kid in other words it has a very fruity smell.I had taken it out of the fridge and poured it from the bottle into a pilsner glass, this beer isn't the best too cold as i first found the cold numbs the flavor out and all you are left with is a very bitter taste with no flavor. Let this beer sit in your mouth and warm up and you will find a wonderful bouquet of flavor with a taste full of hops, pine, and that fruity flavor you could smell. Overall i was very pleased with my purchase and very happy I still have 5 of them left in my fridge.

This January to April seasonal brew pours a rich, ruby red with a creamy white head, and about one inch of frothy foam. A surprising IPA like aroma is created with piney and fruity notes, as well as a little biscuity malt hints. A lot of the nose is noticeable on the pallet, with biscuity and toasty malt sweetness giving way to quite a wallop of citrusy (grapefruit and orange) and piney hop bitterness. A medium-light amount of carbonation is augmented by a medium body that finishes a little spicy and sticky finish. For our money, Odell's is executing the beauty of the hop better then anyone else in Fort Collins.

Poured from 12oz bottle into pint glass. Pours red-amber with a huge foamy cream colored head that laces nicely throughout. Hoppy aroma of citrus and pine, balanced by caramel and bready malts. Flavor suggests the same as the aroma. Medium body with moderate carbonation, finishing slightly bitter and dry. A decent red ale. I actually liked this better the second time around on tap!

We were reminded this morning that tickets are still available for the 2013-2014 season of the Community Actors' Studio Theatre.
That, in turn, reminded us that the first show of the season is only a little less than two months away. CAST will present the musical "Guys and Dolls" from Sept. 12 through Sept. 22.
And if we are thinking "Guys and Dolls," then we have only one song stuck in our head ... Adelaide's Lament. We've attached a video of the song in the hopes it will get stuck in your head, as well. There are worse things. Or as Adelaide puts it, "A person can develop a cold."
As Hervey Folsom reported in The Star earlier this year, the full season looks like this:
• "Guys and Dolls" — a Broadway musical that premiered in 1950, Sept. 12 -22.
• "The Best Christmas Pageant Ever," Dec. 5 -15.
• "The 39 Steps" — Alfred Hitchcock's thriller with a comic touch, Feb. 6-16, 2014.
• "9 to 5: The Musical" — It is based on the 1980 film with music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, April 24-May 4, 2014.
Season tickets are $50 for adults and $25 for students. If you purchase your season ticket by May 31, you'll be entered in a drawing to receive reserved seating for next year. For more information, CAST's website is www.castalabama.com or contact the CAST office at 256-820-CAST.
