I need to confess something. I did not, in fact, "just finish" Tracie Banister's fabulous novel In Need of Therapy. I read it at the end of November. Yikes! It happened to be in that bad time of finishing up school work, preparing for Christmas, and having a few other reviews on the go. Obviously I really need to start working on my bookish resolution of being more organized!
Here's the synopsis:
Lending a sympathetic ear and dispensing sage words of advice is all part of the job for psychologist Pilar Alvarez, and she's everything a good therapist should be: warm, compassionate, supportive. She listens, she cares, and she has all the answers, but how's the woman everyone turns to in their hour of need supposed to cope when her own life starts to fall apart?I had so much fun reading this novel! Pilar was such an interesting character to read about. Main characters who are psychologists are always interesting because, as we all know, no one is perfect and it's nice to read about how someone finally starts taking the advice they've been giving out. Does that make sense? Pilar, as a psychologist, helps her patients grow and work through their issues. I loved reading about how she finally took a good, hard look at her life and realized that she had some issues herself.
While working hard to make a success of her recently-opened practice in trendy South Beach, Pilar must also find time to cater to the demands of her boisterous Cuban family, which includes younger sister Izzy, an unemployed, navel-pierced wild child who can't stay out of trouble, and their mother, a beauty queen turned drama queen who's equally obsessed with her fading looks and getting Pilar married before it's "too late." Although she'd like to oblige her mother and make a permanent love connection, Pilar's romantic prospects look grim. Her cheating ex, who swears that he's reformed, is stalking her. A hunky, but strictly off-limits, patient with bad-boy appeal and intimacy issues is making passes. And the sexy shrink in the suite across the hall has a gold band on his left ring finger.
When a series of personal and professional disasters lead Pilar into the arms of one of her unsuitable suitors, she's left shaken, confused, and full of self-doubt. With time running out, she must make sense of her feelings and learn to trust herself again so that she can save her business, her family, and most importantly, her heart.
Pilar's family plays a fairly large part in this novel and they're...something else. Talk about a big and crazy family! I think I sometimes wished that there wasn't quite so much involving her family (especially when her mother was insistent that she was throwing away a good thing by breaking up with her seemingly perfect boyfriend - so frustrating!) because I wanted to get back to her career and romance issues.
Speaking of romance issues, I loved Ford. Just loved him. And his son? My goodness, he was so adorably awesome! I really enjoyed watching the romance begin between Pilar and Ford and wondered how Banister would have everything turn out. Would they get together? Was he actually still married? When are they going to smarten up and tell each other how they feel?!? There was enough happening to keep me guessing and I definitely appreciated that.
One final note - I loved Pilar's best friend Sara. She was just the kind of BFF a girl needs and I loved that we got to know just enough about her. Too often novels will focus too much on a secondary character and it takes away from the main story. I really liked how the ending featured her work and we got to know what happens to her in the end as well.
I would definitely recommend In Need of Therapy by Tracie Banister to my fellow chick lit fans. I have yet to read Tracie's first novel, Blame It on the Fame but it has moved up my to be read list after reading this novel!
Happy reading :)

You may remember me mentioning the fact that I am studying. Now, just to recap, I started in the first semester of this year but deferred my exam in June due to losing Yogi at the end of May. My exam was postponed until November so I pretty much spent October cramming… Good times.
I sat my exam and completed both parts – A and B – with no issues and waited patiently for 4pm on Friday 28th November for the advisement that I had passed or failed.
Picture the scene of that very afternoon – I sat at my computer screen and nervously read the announcement that results were ready at 3:45. I clicked away, following the convoluted instructions of how to access deferred and supplementary exam results. Nothing.
I kept refreshing. Nothing.
At 4:25pm I called the university and am casually told, "oh, deferred and supplementary exam results won't be ready until Monday or Tuesday". I resist the urge to swear and smash the handset and instead provide feedback that a simple communication on their website would have been much appreciated.
I keep checking on the Monday. Nothing. On the Tuesday. Nothing. I called the university and am again met with someone telling me to be patient but actually providing no date as to when I can expect an answer. The person was really apologetic and the language she used makes me think it has happened to her at some point. Anyway, come Wednesday evening – still nothing (surprising, right?) – I am ready to get in the car and drive the three hours to the campus to hunt down the mothertrucker who has my results. Instead I shoot off a stern email about lack of basic communication, my frustration and the, perhaps too sarcastic, question as to if I should expect my grade any time this year.
Nothing. Well, an automatic reply but still, it's not good enough.
Thursday arrives and I receive… wait for it…. half of my exam results. "HALF?" I hear you cry? That's right People. I receive confirmation that I have passed part B of my exam. Now, WHO inputs the second half of results but not the first bit??? Seriously, my OCD was off the charts at this point. Naturally, I keep checking and go to bed knowing I have passed at least half of my exam.
A week after the official release date I was still waiting. I mean, was my firmly worded email not even read? Have they purposely saved half of my exam results to input at 11:55pm on the 31st December just to spite me?
I decided to call up again midday Friday and was told that there was an issue with part A being processed. I was explained the way it works, eg. it goes to various people and then entered onto my self service menu but when I asked if it was the same process for everyone and did all the other students have their results the reply was yes. I asked if I would get my grade before Christmas and was told "I can't say". Well, okay then. At this point Hubby was convinced that my exam paper had been lost.
After some brief Googling it turns out some supplementary exam papers could have been "misplaced" and other students (not on my course) are asking questions. Well, I'm not too sure what to think apart from trying to not let my rage turn me into The Hulk and looking into other universities that offer courses via distance learning because the whole experience is making me question whether I should continue with my current university. I mean, ten weeks into the first semester (and after I had completed an online test and the majority of an essay for my module) I called up to ask a simple question and was met with "oh, thank goodness you've called. We were going to cancel your enrollement on Friday because we haven't got a copy of your citizenship certificate". The person sounded as equally panicked as what I became, especially when I told them I had already sent it in and er, why not just call me about it rather than kick me off the course altogether?
Are you noticing a pattern about their administration and communication skills? Seriously, it doesn't bode well for me, does it?
Until next time,

Travel to Amsterdam this spring for the perfect getaway.
There is a fairy tale quality to the tree-lined canal streets of Amsterdam.
Boutiques, cafes and hotels may hide behind the facades of the gabled townhouses, but the look of this beautiful city hasn't changed much since its 17th-century Golden Age. No matter how many times you walk along the canals, they are enchanting to see, even when traffic and whizzing bicycles dispel the Old World illusion.
Anne Frank House: Many decades after World War II, a line still forms almost every day with visitors waiting to view the small, hidden rooms where 13-year-old Anne Frank wrote her famous diary. Eight people, family and friends, lived in this space, hardly daring to speak aloud for more than two years, hoping in vain to escape the Nazis. The bare rooms have lost none of their impact or poignancy with the passage of time.
Between dips into artistic and historic treasures, take time to simply absorb the freewheeling spirit of this vibrant city.

Dirty rumors plague Eugene Hütz wherever he goes.
Take one rumored shower in vodka before a show and all of a sudden the stories just grow. For the record it was Cachaca, better known as Brazilian rum.
"I prefer that," Hütz says.
And he also prefers to keep it real. Gogol Bordello has developed quite a following over the years, partly for the mustachioed Hütz's notoriously wild partying ways, but also because of the completely unique sounds of the band.
Hütz himself now lives in Brazil and his band mates are from all over the world. But they all have connections back to New York City and Hütz says they are an only in New York success story.
The group was formed in the burrows of New York City in 1999. Some members have come while others have gone but the band's sound has always stayed unique.
There are nine total members of the band who mix accordions, violins, guitars and more into their unique sound. It's that Eastern European influence on the clear punk underpinnings in their sound that have led some critics to call Gogol Bordello the most visionary band around.
That's why trying to attach adjectives to the sound that Gogol Bordello is putting out, would be like trying to pigeon hole the group as an adult version of "We Are the World" come to life.
"We really ain't tryin' nothing," Hütz recently told Synthesis about the bands diverse make up. "I think every artist that's being authentic will simply express what they're feeling inside. Our only difference is that we're comprised from different cultures. We have different backgrounds but our thinking is very unified."
Gypsy is the best way to describe them, even though Hütz may be the only official member of the often misunderstood and stereotyped Romani people.
Regardless their music is mostly upbeat, fast paced and hard not to tap your toes. Even if you don't know the words, Hütz works in choruses that make listeners bellow at the top of their lungs.
And the band's shows are a completely other story. The combination has won the band rave reviews, fans across the globe, invites to the world's largest festivals and a die hard following wherever they go.
Thursday, Gogol Bordello returns to the Bay Area with a performance at the recently renovated Fox Theater.

Since we began farming our slogan has been "Farm feeds soul". For years I have been working on developing a way to integrate my love of farming with my holistic health background and passion for alternative treatments for our community.
We have decided to gear into becoming a care farm ( or sometimes called a social farm) starting as of 2016.
Care farming is the therapeutic use of farming practices. Care farms use the whole or part of a farm, provide health, social or educational care services for one or a range of vulnerable groups of people and provide a supervised, structured programme of farming-related activities.
The purpose of care farming is to promote mental and physical health by giving people the opportunity to spend time working on the land. Care farms can provide supervised, structured programs of farming-related activities, including animal husbandry, crop and vegetable production and woodland management.
On a care farm, people, animals and the earth work together for mutual healing, attempting to alleviate the effects of nature deficit disorder.
Care farming or social farming, a fast growing sector across Europe is an innovative practice where agricultural production is being combined with health and social services. It is an interesting example of a nature based intervention. It is an innovation at the crossroads of agriculture and health care, where the agricultural sector is actively involved in providing care for different client groups. Clients, or participants in the vocabulary of care farmers, are involved in agricultural production.
Care farms offer day care, supported workplaces and/or residential places and in some cases therapy for clients with a variety of disabilities. Care farming is emerging in many European countries due to the increasing focus on different aspects of multifunctional agriculture, as well as concerns about public health expenditure and the efficacy of social services. Different orientations can be identified. In Italy and France, care farming is directed towards labour integration and care inclusion provided by community-based organizations like care cooperatives is dominant. In Norway, the Netherlands and Belgium (Flanders), care farming is mainly provided by private family farms and care farms are examples of agricultural diversification. In Germany, Austria, Ireland, Slovenia and Poland, most care farms are community-based care services offered by institutional partners. Our care farm will start off private and not affiliated with any institutions.
Care farming has developed into a diverse sector offering unique services for a diversity of client groups in a range of contexts. They can be considered as innovative example of community-based services that contribute to empowerment and socialization of vulnerable citizens. The challenge is to stimulate the development of similar initiatives in urban areas and involve urban citizens actively in nature and farming activities. It can contribute to reducing complex health problems in urban areas related to e.g. social exclusion and segregation, lack of citizen participation, social inequalities, chronic diseases and unemployment. There is a great potential as the number of bottom-up green urban initiatives in western Europe is increasing rapidly.
Farming for Health is the utilization of agricultural farms, farm animals, plants and landscapes as a base for promoting human mental and physical health and social well-being.
Ecopsychology explores how to develop emotional bonds with nature. It considers this to be worthwhile because when nature is explored and viewed without judgement, it gives the sensations of harmony, balance, timelessness and stability.
In its exploration of how to bond with nature, ecopsychology is interested in the examples provided by a wide variety of ancient and modern cultures that have histories of embracing nature. Examples include aboriginal, pagan, Buddhist, and Hindu cultures, as well as shamanism and the more recent hesychast tradition. Of interest is how identity becomes entwined with nature, so that loss of those sacred places is far more devastating to indigenous people than often understood. Native American stories, in particular, illustrate a socially recognized sense of community between humans and the natural landscape. The Māori philosophy, and practice of kaitiakitanga, or eco-guardianship, and preservation emphasizes a deep connect between humans, and their environment. Eastern Orthodox monks led a contemplative life deeply intertwined with nature. Other lessons include how to live sustainably within an environment and the self-sacrifices made to tolerate natural limits, such as population control or a nomadic existence that allows the environment to regenerate. Moreover, certain indigenous cultures have developed methods of psychotherapy involving the presence of trees, rivers, and astronomical bodies.
Ecopsychologists have begun detecting unspoken grief within individuals, an escalation of pain and despair, felt in response to widespread environmental destruction. The field of ecopsychology intends to illustrate how environmental disconnection functions as an aspect of existing disease, without creating a new category. The contention is that if a culture is disconnected from nature, then various aspects of an individual's life will be negatively impacted. It also believes that that without the influence of nature, humans are prone to a variety of delusions, and that to some degree life in the wild forms the basis for human sanity and optimal psychological development. The topic is explored in detail Paul Shepard's book Nature and Madness. It is also proposed that separation from outdoor contact causes a loss of sensory and information-processing ability that was developed over the course of human evolution, which was spent in direct reciprocity with the environment.
Clients and participants attend the farm regularly as part of a structured care, rehabilitation, therapeutic or educational programme. They provide a supervised, structured programme of farming-related activities including animal husbandry, crop and vegetable production, woodland management and horticulture.
Care farming helps make a difference to disadvantaged people's lives by giving them an opportunity to work on the land and on land based activities. It combines care of the land with care of people. It is a partnership between the farmer or other land manager, the relevant health care, social care, employment, probation or education agency and the participant.
Our farm will be using several types of therapies including therapetuetic gardens & horticulture therapy, Animal Asisted therapy and Green excerice ( exercise in nature such as yoga etc.). Several programs and trainings will be offered to facilitate feeding your body, mind and soul at our farm.
I am very excited about this new step forward towards doing something I deeply believe in to serve my community! If you are interested in participating in our training to offer this type of therapy, please email me: email@example.com

Let us first understand loneliness. How to deal with it is explained at the bottom of this page. Why is one person in emotional pain on being alone and another person in emotional ecstasy on being alone? What is it that makes them look at the same solitude so differently? What are the causes of lonesomeness?
...because of his solitude doesn't want the solitude. That person wants the opposite of solitude - companionship or a feeling of connectedness with humanity. The common complaint is 'You get so lonesome.' Such a person is quite often unaware of his or her connection to the divine.
...in solitude has human companionship already. That person is not the owner of a lonesome heart. Such a person knows that not spending time alone can increase stress levels. Solitude, to that person, represents an opportunity to get into the silence and connect with the divine.
...at being alone, perhaps a lonesome heart, is to look the problem full in the face until it backs off and admits failure.
The person needs to embrace the loneliness, quiet his mind and listen. Listen for a message from the divine. Once you get your first divine message, you can start asking questions of the divine. As soon as you start asking questions of the divine, answers will pop into your mind or come at you from sources external to you.
They can be in the company of friends or in an intimate relationship and feel very desolate - because they find it impossible to "connect" with any one. They have this feeling of being alienated from every one. Such people describe a feeling of "emptiness". Since the problem begins inside them they need to turn inward into their own minds and figure out the root cause for their feelings of alienation.
Some people are so overwhelmed by lonesomeness that they simply cope with it and take no steps to overcome it. If you are like a lonesome beach on a solitary island, simply coping with lonesomeness, then you can answer a few questions here to find if your coping-with-loneliness-efforts efforts are likely to get you good results .
If you are suffering from loneliness because you have just been separated or divorced or are feeling depressed you would do well by joining a divorce support group, depression support group or bipolar support group.
If you have been coping with lonesomeness for a while and are tired of it, you may be ready to deal with lonesomeness.
...you may be finally ready to try overcoming it. You cannot beat lonesomeness, you have to overcome it.
If you want to cope with, deal with and overcome it, all within a few weeks then you may be a person that can win by fighting lonesomeness.
It helps a lonesome man, or lonesome woman to have the help of a psychologist to identify the root cause of such feelings. Be sure to ask the psychologist to help you identify the root cause of the thoughts that cause you to feel alienated from people. Once that cause is identified, the therapist can help you deal with that cause and find your way out of alienation, depression, social anxiety or involuntary solitude.
Lonely housewives have to be specially diligent about overcoming their predicament. Some housewives have a fear of being lonesome and many need support for their social anxiety.
The feelings of alienation from others can start with a person's opinion of himself or herself. If the person has low self-esteem or believes, consciously or unconsciously, that the person is bad, unlovable, was wronged in childhood, the person may avoid social actions. Once avoidance of social contact is started, it easily becomes a habit. The trouble starts some years later when the person starts to feel the pain of isolation and alienation.

Young Ian Alston learns to ride a bicycle. When his father picks him up off the bike, he finds blood all over the back of boy's pants.
House, Wilson and Cuddy play poker at a Casino Night fundraiser for the hospital. A doctor alerts Cuddy that Ian is in the ER. The boy has bloody diarrhea, and although he is hemodynamically stable at the moment, he is developing coordination problems. Cuddy orders some fluids and says she'll check on him during her rounds. House asks about the heart rate and inquires if a head scan has been done. Cuddy just wants to focus on the cards, but House quits the game to go check on the boy.In the ER, I an has no problem following House's finger with his eyes. House then asks Ian to grab his cane, and Ian struggles to grasp it. House tells the Alstons that Ian's brain is losing control of his muscles. House goes back to the benefit to grab Chase. He wants the others to meet him upstairs.
House tells the team that there are two cases with identical symptoms, but one patient is six years old and the other is over seventy. He explains that many years ago he had a 73-year old female patient with this exact progression of symptoms, but she died before he could solve the case. Ian already has bloody diarrhea and ataxia. The previous patient, Esther, progressed from there to kidney failure in only 80 minutes. She died in less than a day.
The team is skeptical, figuring that Ian merely has food poisoning. House considers Erdheim-Chester, a disease that Chase mentions has only been recorded 200 times in history. House thinks he could have found case number 201 had Esther's family allowed an autopsy. He orders a colonoscopy for Ian. Cameron explains to the parents that Erdheim-Chester is an abnormal growth of some of the cells that fight infection. During the colonscopy, Foreman thinks they've found the purple papules that House was looking for. Chase is skeptical, figuring House is merely obsessed with a patient he lost long ago.
The papules are biopsied, but come up negative for Erdheim-Chester. House then requests a kidney biopsy. He examines the urine bag attached to the boy. The liquid is brown, which means Ian's kidneys are shutting down. Ian is reaching Esther's third symptom.
The team reconvenes to figure out the symptoms. Chase suggests E. Coli, but House points out he tried that last time. Cameron throws out lymphoma. House agrees that this is a possibility and asks for a blood smear and an MRI. They want to alert Cuddy that her original theory of gastroenteritis is not the cause, but House would rather not tell her anything in case she disagrees and interferes. House calls Wilson at the tables and asks him to keep Cuddy occupied.
The MRI shows that the base of Ian's brain has been infiltrated by a small mass, likely related to the pituitary. Pituitary failure was the fourth of Esther's symptoms. It also somewhat confirms lymphoma, although none of them actually saw it. The blood fact offers a contrary diagnosis. House walks out of the office.
The team finds him breaking into the commissary to get some coffee. He says that the next stop in the disease's progression is the liver. Growing frustrated, House orders the team to give Ian every drug they can think of that will protect the liver.
Chase informs House that the liver is holding, but Ian's platelets are dropping. Oddly, House is encouraged. This is a new symptom, different from anything Esther experienced. Ian begins gasping for breath as Foreman and Chase rush to help him.
House writes respiratory distress on the white board under Ian's symptoms. Respiratory failure was the last of Esther's symptoms before death. Feeling hopeless, House pushes the white board over. With Ian now on a ventilator, the team again tries to analyze the progression of symptoms. Ian is moving even faster than Esther did. Cameron tosses out that the interferon they put Ian on could possibly affect a type of leukemia. House calls Wilson for advice. Wilson comes upstairs to examine Ian's blood, but doesn't see anything askew.
Wilson suggests Kawasaki's disease, in which antibodies eat the inside of the arteries, slowly choking off blood to major organs. Intrigued by the possibility, House prepares to search Ian's coronary arteries for the disease, but the arteries are clear of aneurysms and the blood flow is normal. As he is about to shut down the scan, Chase notices a mass in Ian's right atrial valve. House immediately readies to perform a biopsy.
During the procedure, Ian goes into cardiac arrest. It takes repeated attempts, but House is able to shock the boy back to life. House goes back to the biopsy, which Chase thinks is reckless after eight minutes of arrest.
Back in the office, the team begins throwing other possible diseases against the wall. Cuddy, having been alerted to Ian's plight by the Alstons, barges into House's office and angrily accuses him of giving the young boy brain damage. She thinks he's still obsessed with Esther's case twelve years later. She orders him to stay away from Ian. When Cuddy leaves, House plows ahead anyway. He hands Cameron the piece of mass they extracted and asks how many tests they can complete. She thinks they can do three, even though there are seven potential diseases on their board. They elect to start with histiocytosis, figuring Cuddy will be smart enough to test for sarcoidosis on her own.
The test for histiocytosis is negative, so they turn back to the board. House opts to test for tubular sclerosis, mainly because the test for that is more reliable. Sclerosis also comes up negative. House is now stumped. He stands on his office balcony, lost in thought. Wilson comes out to report how he triumphed in the poker tournament by hiding his pocket aces. The story leads House to an epiphany about what else could have been hiding.
House realizes that when they tested for Erdheim-Chester earlier, it hadn't progressed far enough. He wants to use the last available piece of mass to test for it again. This time, the test confirms the ultra-rare disease. The team immediately starts the proper treatment.

Our favorite beers of 2013
It's an amazing time to be drinking beer in Colorado.
From the continued excellence of established brewers to the maturation of more recent arrivals and impressive 2013 debuts, the state of craft beer is something to behold.
Below, we've listed our favorites from 2013. We couldn't make it everywhere and try everything so there are no doubt misses here. But the following 30-plus beers from Colorado really stuck out in our minds …
AC Golden's India Pale Lager: If only MillerCoors would package it … Some scoff at beers embracing this name but you can't argue this marriage of hops and lager yeast results in one highly quaffable beer.
Avery Brewing's Uncle Jacob's Stout: The second release of the huge 17.42 percent imperial stout named for Adam Avery's great grand uncle the distiller. Our taste came right out of the bourbon barrel at GABF and was poured by Adam himself.
Big Choice Brewing's Disconnected Red: An amber ale hopped like an IPA. Coppery color. Malty but also hoppy. The beer has gotten good ratings after the Broomfield brewery began canning the beer. The ABV is about 6.7 percent.
Black Shirt Brewing's Red Evelyn: The brothers Miller heed no style definitions, and all the power to them when the result is this: an imperial red rye IPA brewed in honor of their grandmother. Brewed with rye, Belgian candi syrup, Colorado wildflower honey, and hopped heavily with Simcoe, Citra, Willamette, Zythos and Centennial hops.
Breckenridge Brewery's 471 Small Batch IPA: A deep orange, piney go-to double IPA from a bedrock Colorado brewery poised to enter a new era with a farm-style brewery coming to Littleton (9.2 percent ABV, 70 IBU).
The Bruery's Batch 1000 – Bryeian: The sole out-of-state brewery represented here, but consider the source of the recipe. Brian Pramov and Bryan Keas of the Rock Hoppers Brew Club in Castle Rock prevailed over about 200 other entries in a Bruery homebrew competition and won the right to collaborate on this imperial black rye IPA.
Copper Kettle Brewing Snowed In: The debut beer in Copper Kettle's barrel-aging series is a keeper. Snowed In has a lot going on but pulls it off. The imperial oatmeal stout is brewed with roasted coffee from Pablo's Coffee in Denver and dark chocolate, and then aged in Breckenridge Distillery bourbon barrels for several months.
Crooked Stave St. Bretta (summer batch): Crooked Stave had an amazing 2013 with the opening of The Source, the launch of its distribution business and the unforgettable Funk n Wild Festival. This is an accessible, delicious Belgian witbier with a twist – subtle citrus notes and an unmistakable but not overpowering Brett funk. Aged in oak foudres.
Denver Beer Co. Graham Cracker Porter: Denver Beer Co. doesn't like to brew the same beer twice but knows when it has a winner (as in a GABF medal winner, 2011). This staple will become "campfire in a can" when Denver Beer Co.'s production brewery in north Denver comes online and starts cranking out cans.
Dry Dock Brewing Hop Abomination: There are so many great Colorado IPAs, and Kevin Delange and the crew at Dry Dock have come up with a great addition to the canon with this hazy, copper-colored, piney IPA (6.5 percent ABV, 70 IBU)
Elevation Beer Co. First Cast IPA: An easy-drinking 6.5 percent alcohol-by-volume IPA with Chinook, Summit and Zythos hops. Also notable for the package – pint bottles available in four packs.
Epic Brewing's Big Bad Baptist: The opening of Salt Lake City-based Epic Brewing's Denver production brewery and tap room in Denver was one of the most anticipated beer events of the year around here. The Baptist travels well … and the first Denver-brewed batches feature coffee from Cranknstein and Novo Coffee. A world-class imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels with coffee and cocoa nibs.
FATE Brewing Watermelon Kolsch: From the brewpub that opened in Boulder this year, a sublime summertime beer with a hint of watermelon infused in the crisp German-style ale. The sweetness of the melon provides a perfect compliment to the malt and hops for a nice sessionable ale at 5.0 ABV.
Funkwerks Saison: Why mess with a good thing? This style is gaining in popularity both standing alone and paired with food, and no one makes a better classic saison in Colorado than Funkwerks in Fort Collins. We'd love to see them brew and package a low-ABV saison in four or six packs.
Great Divide Claymore Scotch Ale: A classic Wee Heavy. Malty, red, with a taste of caramel (7.7 percent ABV). One of the brewery's big sellers. We'll all be watching Great Divide's plans for a huge new brewery in River North.
Hogshead Brewery Gilpin Black Gold: Yum … an English-style porter with hints of chocolate and roasted nut with a single addition Fuggles hop. Lots of love for Hogshead this year from brewers in the know. Get the cask version, of course.
Left Hand Brewing Nitro Milk Stout: "America's great milk stout," indeed. This sweet stout is one of our go-to bottled six packs. Pour hard. The Longmont brewery had an interesting fall, winning three gold medals (Milk Stout, Sawtooth Ale and Fade to Black Vol. 1) at the Great American Beer Fest and narrowly avoiding catastrophe in the September flood.
New Belgium Brewing Accumulation: The Fort Collins giant of craft brewing likes to rotate its seasonals and this white IPA is new this winter. It's a home run. Brewed with Target and Centennial hops, and dry-hopped with Mosaic and Amarillo.
Odd 13 Brewing's Eric the Red. This malty red ale uses Falconer's Flight and CTZ hops that brings a certain tropical hint to the beer – mango and peach. The Lafayette brewery that opened in '13 is modeling itself after Russian River.
Odell Brewing Friek: This Lambic-style Kriek-Framboise features three different beers aged in barrels and blended by the purveyors of understated excellence in Fort Collins. Tart and delicious. One of our favorite fruit-based beers – again.
Oskar Blues Dale's Pale Ale: The crazy fast growing Longmont brewery was at the forefront of Colorado flood relief with its Can'd Aid Foundation. We raise a can of Dale's – the can't miss, pioneering bordering-on-IPA pale ale.
Prost Brewing's Dunkel Bier: Prost's revival of a dark amber lager beauty from the very brewery that once owned the copper brewing equipment that now resides at Prost – Hümmer Brauerei in Breitengüßbach, Germany. (5.2 percent ABV, 25 IBUs).
River North Brewery Whiskey-Barrel Quandary: Matt Hess's Belgian-inspired brewery is only building momentum from its impressive opening last year. This outstanding Belgian-style quad was aged in rye whiskey barrels (9.6 percent ABV).
Sandlot 20th Anniversary Ale: Is it the Sandlot, the SandLot, or Blue Moon Brewing Company at the Sandlot (or SandLot)? We still don't know. Though part of MillerCoors, the Sandlot has mostly free rein to do what it wants and you never know what you'll find down the first base line at Coors Field. This amber ale was brewed to mark the Rockies' 20th season. The Sandlot had a far more successful season than the baseball team, winning large brewery and brewer of the year at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival.
Ska Brewing Modus Hoperandi: This IPA probably does not get enough credit on the Front Range. It's one of the best – anywhere. Hazy, hoppy … and now available in bottles!
Strange Brewing Cherry Kriek. That Brewery on Zuni finally has reached a settlement with a crotchety homebrew shop on the East Coast that will allow Strange to remain Strange (still awaiting the final details to be made public). This kriek goes great with dessert, by itself or (oh yeah) blended with Epic's Big Bad Baptist.
Trinity Brewing Red Swingline: We dare you to find a more complex, challenging, flavor-packed beer at such a low ABV. What? It's 4.1 percent? You've got to be kidding. An "IPA primitif," this hoppy sour is fermented with Lacto and Brett, aged on French oak barrels and dry-hopped. Saison Man (Jason Yester) has a masterpiece in Red Swingline.
TRVE Brewing Manannan: This just-released sour brown ale was our best-in-show winner at the recent Denver Beer Festivus staged by Denver Off the Wagon and Co. Fermented in whiskey barrels with two strains of Brettanomyces yeast and soured with lactobacillus. This bodes very well for TRVE'S new barrel program helmed by former Big Choice brewer Zach Coleman.
Verboten Brewing Angry Banjo: There are only two beer styles indigenous to the U.S. – the California Common and the Kentucky Common. Loveland-based Verboten has come up with a revival of the latter style, which uses the spent grain and sour mash from distilleries. Chocolate caramel and a hint of sour. Verboten blew us away at the Wynkoop's Parade of Darks.
Wit's End Brewing's Ugly Sweater: A most unconventional – and scrumptious – winter seasonal unfiltered brown ale. Scott Witsoe has thrown in roasted pumpkin seeds, palm sugar and a Belgian yeast strain. Wit's End's brewing capacity is growing 600 percent in 2014!
Wynkoop Brewing's The Chancellor: This big, rich barleywine was a hit at Avery's Strong Ale Fest and other rare beer events. Here's hoping it returns in 2014. The Wynkoop's geekier offerings will get its own space next year with a new barrel room and tasting room in the basement space formerly occupied by an improv comedy club.
Yak and Yeti Chai Milk Stout: A traditional English-style milk stout (5.2 percent ABV, 26 IBU) sweetened with lactose with a blend of top-secret spices at the brewpub won silver in the ultra-competitive herb and spice beer category at GABF 2013. If you're a homebrewer, check out the recipe in the May/June edition of Zymurgy.

Perceptions of Race and Diversity

Perceptions of Race and DiversityStephen Farmer, vice provost for enrollment and undergraduate admissions at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
We have just marked the one-year anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Fisher, as well as the two-month anniversary of its decision in Schuette. For those who work to foster diversity in colleges and universities across the country, these decisions are worth remembering, not least because they remind us of things we already know.
Fisher reminds us that any use of race in admission remains subject to strict scrutiny, even when the use is sparing, nuanced, and part of the same comprehensive and individualized review afforded to every candidate. The ruling does not, as some have suggested, require that we try every possible alternative before turning to race as one factor among many. But it does remind us that the courts are obliged to be skeptical whenever race is used, and that their scrutiny, in the words of Justice Kennedy, "must not be strict in theory but feeble in fact."
Schuette reminds us that the opinions of Justice Kennedy and his colleagues aren't the only ones that matter. Whether at the state or local level, and whether through elections, referenda, or the decisions of governors or legislatures or the people they appoint to our boards, the struggle for diversity goes beyond the Supreme Court and beyond the courts more generally. If we've forgotten that we need to talk with our neighbors and not just our lawyers, Schuette reminds us otherwise. And because we're not just pleading with the court, the case we make can't just be legal; it has to be political and practical, personal and moral.
Both decisions remind us that the argument about diversity is now mainly about the means, and that the argument about the ends has been won. Writing for the majority in Fisher, Justice Kennedy didn't question one of the central findings in Bakke, Gratz, and Grutter: the notion that "the educational benefits that flow from a diverse student body" can be a compelling governmental interest. In the oral arguments in Schuette, the Michigan solicitor general, in defending a referendum that had banned the use of race in pursuing diversity, nevertheless allowed that "diversity on campus is a goal that should be pursued." This support doesn't have to be sincere for us to see it as an opportunity. As we engage those who praise diversity while opposing the use of race to achieve it, we should invite their support for courageous and thoughtful policies — immigration reform, for example, or more and smarter funding for financial aid, or better support for pre-K–12 education — that would foster the diversity they champion.
Finally, Fisher and Schuette, along with the news coverage that followed both decisions, remind us that we desperately need to talk about race. Judging from the arguments for the plaintiffs, the questions of some of the justices, and the commentary of some in the media, many in our country believe that we are now blind to race and free of the problem of the color line. This belief runs counter to the experience of millions of Americans, including many who live and study on our campuses. As much as anything else, Fisher and Schuette remind us that we are deeply divided in our perceptions of the role that race plays in our lives and in the life of our democracy. We need to summon up our courage and face this division squarely, and we can't do so without talking about race.

Commuting is hard work!
Today see's the completion of the first full week I've had to commute into the "office". The "office" being a group I'm consulting for in San Francisco (rather than my normal Tahoe). It has been an interesting experience and taken a bit of getting used to, after all, I've never had to do a serious commute before.

Born in London, Tabor was a physicist. He was renowned enough that when he was 32 in 1949, Israeli prime minister David Ben-Gurion sent him a letter offering a job, to create Israel's National Physical Laboratory. Once that was complete, Tabor set on applying technology to solve problems. His first task: getting the country on a measurement standard — at the time, the country used a mishmash of measurement systems from the British (Imperial units like the ounce, pint, and yard), Ancient Arabic units used by the Ottoman Empire, and the metric system. "You'd see grocers measuring things by putting stones on scales," Tabor said. Once that was done, Tabor, who was also working on completing his doctorate, turned to refining the solar-powered water heater first created by engineer Levi Yissar. Electricity was in short supply in the country in the early 1950s, so much so that the government severely restricted electricity to heat water. Tabor experimented with various coatings to optimize the absorptivity of solar energy, while minimizing re-radiation of the heat that was absorbed. This led to his development of the "Tabor Selective Surface" — a "black chrome" for the copper water-bearing plate. The result made the dude shemesh ("sun-boiler") solar heater so simple, efficient, and effective that 95 percent of homes in Israel now have at least one, providing most of the country's hot water.
The units also became popular in other sunny countries, especially in the Mediterranean region. Tabor then brought the innovations to the United States, consulting for solar start-ups such as Northrup, which later merged into ARCO Solar, which became BP Solar. Then, in turn, the water heaters became popular in many other countries including Australia, Jordan, and Egypt. Tabor continued in solar power research for the rest of his career. He was awarded the Weizmann Prize for Exact Sciences in 1956. He was also awarded medals from the Royal Society of Great Britain, the Krupp Foundation Energy Award, and the Presidential Medal of Distinction from Shimon Peres. "There is no person in Israel or in the world who contributed so much to energy independence, sustainability, and the energy field in general," says Amit Mor, CEO of EcoEnergy, who named Tabor "Energy Man of the Year" in November at the Israel Energy & Business Convention in Tel Aviv. A few years ago, Tabor was asked what he is most proud of. "Ask my wife," he said. Viviane Tabor replied: "I would say creating awareness of clean energy and ridding ourselves of the complete dependence on oil. When we first got here, people thought he was crazy. Yet he created awareness which now everybody takes for granted." Tabor agreed. Dr. Harry Zvi Tabor died December 16, at 98.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — A lawyer says a Saudi court has sentenced 14 Shiite citizens to death on charges related to terrorist activities in the predominantly Shiite Eastern Province.
The lawyer, who works in the Eastern Province and wished to remain anonymous for fear of retribution, told The Associated Press that of the 24 defendants, the Specialized Criminal Court in Riyadh on Wednesday ordered one man released from prison.
The Saudi broadcaster Al-Arabiya says nine others were given prison terms ranging from three to 15 years for the killing of a policeman, vandalism, armed robbery and shooting at security forces and civilians in the Eastern Province village of al-Awamiya.
The lawyer says the group has been under arrest since 2013 for crimes dating back to a wave of 2011 protests.

Paul's predictions
Had anyone predicted this before the World Cup they would have been locked up in an asylym. But our eight-legged friend's uncanny knack of predicting all of Germany's results correctly this summer has created the tournament's undoubted internet sensation. He is so famous he even has his very own Twitter account: @PPsychicOctopus. Full of typos...
Mind you, not everyone has been happy about Paul's predictions. The Argentinians threatened to kill and eat him in an act of vengeance after he said Germany would win the quarter-final. Apparently octopus goes very well with potatoes, a little bit of olive oil and pepper. The ocotpus, though, remains undeterred and his handlers are confident he will still be making predictions in 2014 and beyond.
Diego Maradona
Before the World Cup started, pundits lined to kick Diego Maradona and predict his Argentina team were going to make a bunch of headless chickens look like they knew what they were doing. However, while Raymond Domenech lost the plot and Marcello Lippi failed to live up to expectations, Maradona returned to Argentina as a hero. He somehow moulded his team that were one Martin Palermo goal from not qualifying for the finals into one that plays free flowing attacking football. It was also his off the pitch antics which will stay long in the memory. Each and everyone of Maradona's press conferences became ticket-only affair. His impression of Germany's Bastian Schweinsteiger ahead of the quarter-final instantly springs to mind. Diego Maradona, ever the ringmaster.
Camacho's commentary
Here is a tip for the World Cup final. Put a bet down on the cameras going to Jose Antonio Camacho if Spain score against Holland. The former Spain manager has been spending the World Cup as a commentator for Spanish TV alongside Paco Gonzalez. And, after having his over-the-top reaction recorded following David Villa's winner against Paraguay in the quarter-finals Camacho was caught on camera celebrating yet again following Carles Puyol's winner against Germany. With sweaty pits and a smile that beams from ear-to-ear, Jose Antonio Camacho's celebrations have become legendary in the space of a week.
Watch Camacho celebrate David Villa's winner against Paraguay
Watch Camacho celebrate Spain's winner against Germany
New York Post
Following England's opening 1-1 draw with the USA the New York Post went with the headline, "USA wins 1-1". Now, the Americans are known for their stupidity but this is far too idiotic even for them. USA regard the draw as one of the best results in their history with some saying it was even better than their 1-0 humbling of England in the 1950 World Cup. However, we have to give the Americans some credit here. The headline refers to the battle of Bunker Hill during the American War of Independence where Britain claimed victory even though they did not gain any advantage over the colonials. The Americans are capable of dry wit, who would have thought it?
Jong Tae Sae's tears
If only all players showed as much pride and passion as North Korea's Jong Tae-Se. Just before North Korea played Brazil in their first World Cup match for 44 years Jong broke down in tears during his nation's national anthem. The moment had got to him and it was a beautiful sight. You could go as far as saying it is inspiring especially when you think of England's players when they line up for the national anthem. Most of them sing the words but one or two, not naming any names (Wayne Rooney), stand there in silence.

2010 was not a good year for the City of Stockton in terms of titles as we were named most miserable, most illiterate* and most obese. If you look at these dubious distinctions, you probably come to the conclusion that Stockton is not a nice place to live. How could three reputable studies all separately come to the conclusions that Stockton is the worst in the country for something? To the untrained eye, being at the top (or bottom) of these lists is hard proof that reinforces negative stereotypes about Stockton. But when you take closer looks at these studies, you begin to realize that these lists are not always what they are cracked up to be. I would like to set the record straight: Stockton is not the worst city in the country for ANY of the aforementioned titles.
Today, I will tackle Gallup's obesity rankings from 2009 which had Stockton ranked as the most obese metro area in the country. First and foremost, it should be noted that since our title of most obese city was bestowed upon us in 2010, we have fallen dramatically in more recent rankings. From a high of 34.6% obese in 2010, we now have an obesity rate of 25%. This puts Stockton right out of the top 100 entirely. This is great news, but it calls in to question the methodology used by Gallup to come up with these ratings because, to me at least, it seems like a stretch to think that a city with the highest obesity rate in the nation could reduce its obesity rate by a whopping 10% in just two years.
Another red flag is that the rankings themselves vary widely from year to year. For example, in three years, 23 different cities have been featured in the top ten for obesity rates, with only two areas making the list all three years. Take a look:
Metropolitan Statistical Area (Obesity rate)
Stockton (34.6)
Evansville, IN-KY (37.8)
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX (38.8)
Montgomery, AL (34.6)
Hagerstown-Martinsburg, MD-WV (36.5)
Binghamton, NY (37.6)
Visalia-Porterville, CA (34.1)
Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH (34.6)
Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH (36)
York-Hanover, PA (34)
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX (34.5)
Rockford, IL (35.5)
Flint, MI (33.9)
Reading, PA- (33.8)
Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX (33.8)
McAllen-Edinburg-Mission, TX (33.7)
Montgomery, AL (33.4)
Charleston, WV (33.8)
Bakersfield, CA (33.6)
Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA (33)
Lakeland-Winter Haven, FL (33.5)
Lynchburg, VA (33)
Cedar Rapids, IA (32.9)
Topeka, KS (33.3)
Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH (33)
Shreveport-Bossier City, LA (32.5)
Kennewick-Pasco-Richland, WA (33.2)
Kingsport-Bristol, TN-VA (32.9)
Beaumont-Port Arthur, TX (32.4)
Reading, PA (32.7)
With a condition like obesity, I suspect that the percentage of people who are obese in a city would not fluctuate greatly year to year. However, the way the cities are ranked here seems to indicate that cities seem to be prone to annual swings in obesity. This really makes no sense: How could the most obese city in the nation just drop off from the top ten list in the following year, as Stockton in 2009 and Evansville in 2010 did?
To get to the bottom of this, I contacted the good people at Gallup to see if they could help me understand their methodology for their Well-Being Index (which you can play around with here). Here is what they told me:
"Gallup requires at least n=300 cases for MSA-level reporting. Each MSA has a unique sample size, so the expected error range for any given proportion will vary according to the response itself as well as the sample size for the population. (In other words, the expected error is not the same for each reported city.) In Stockton's case, we get between n=550-600 in one year of measurement, so our obesity results for it are pretty stable: about +/-4.4% with 95% confidence, design effect included."
What all this wonky nonsense means is that Gallup makes sure that they are collecting enough samples from Stockton to make sure that their analysis is sound. With the number of Stocktonians polled, they can predict with 95% confidence that their data is within a 4.4% margin of error. In this business, this result is known as "highly significant," or in layman's terms, very accurate.
So was Stockton really the most obese city in the country in 2009? I still say no. Despite the high confidence levels that Gallup uses, there is still a margin for error that is large enough to explain, at least in part, some of the variation from year to year. With a 4.4% margin of error, it is plausible that Stockton was not quite as obese as the data pointed out in 2009. Just a 2 point change, within the margin of error, would have knocked Stockton out of the top ten easily that year. I believe that this high rating in 2009 is an aberration that can be contributed to this small margin of error. To be sure, Stockton's obesity rate was high 2009, but I don't think it was the worst in the country, especially when you compare Stockton's 2009 rate to more recent years, it appears that 2009 is an outlier. The cities at the top are so tightly bunched, separated by just fractions of a percent, that these small margins of error can explain the seemingly strange variations in the top ten every year.
In conclusion, Gallup does have strong data, but to use their well-being index as a year-to-year ranking system of obese cities is a bit misleading. Were we obese in 2009? Yes. Were we the most obese? Maybe not. Even if Stockton were the most obese in 2009, we should really be looking at the trends. As of 2011, Stockton is now around the national average for obesity rates, which still is not desirable, but at least we are trending downward. A 10% drop in obesity rates in just three years is a positive step forward, no matter how you look at it.

CEDARTOWN, GEORGIA – Update:The two suspects in the homicide of a pizza delivery person are in the Polk County Jail on murder charges while investigators continue to look for a motive, according to officials.
Cadedra Cook, 18, of 229 Thompson St., Cedartown, and a 15-year-old male juvenile were apprehended around noon on a field on the property of the Old Hale Manufacturing Building on Lafayette Street, according to officials.
"We had been one step behind them most of the night," Cedartown Police Department Assistant Police Chief Jamie Newsome said. "We were finally able to catch up to them."
The two are charged in the brutal stabbing and bludgeoning death of Elizabeth Hutcheson, 27, of Cedartown, while she was making a delivery for Domino's Pizza to the home.
Newsome said he is pleased the two suspects were caught within a day after the homicide. He credits good teamwork with all law enforcement agencies for quickly finding them.
"It was just cooperative police work," he said. "Without the help of the GBI and the U.S. Marshall's to a small department like ours, it would have been hard on us," he said.
The CPD also had assistance from the Polk County Police Department and the Polk County Sheriff's Office
Polk County Sheriff Kelly McLendon said 12 of his people were involved in the search and at least seven from the U.S. Marshall's Service were on the scene also.
"We were asked to assist. We came. We helped out," McLendon said.
Newsome said the investigation into the slaying is still open.
Police confirmed a telephone pizza order was placed at Domino's shortly before 9 p.m. Thursday. Hutcheson was the delivery person sent.
Newsome said the suspects fled on foot.
Police officers found Hutcheson around 9:15 p.m. bleeding in the doorframe of Cook's residence while on a routine traffic stop. She had been stabbed multiple times and was pronounced dead at Polk Medical Center, according to officials.
Newsome said each suspect is currently charged with one murder charge. However, he said that could change as the investigation is completed.
"There will probably be more charges," Newsome said.
The motive is still a mystery.
Newsome said money was taken from Hutcheson in the incident, but the amount was so little that he couldn't see that as being the sole motive.
"When I saw everything, it didn't add up to me," he said.
However, Newsome said the investigation hasn't confirmed his "gut feeling," so he wasn't going to speculate. He said it couldn't be determined at this point whether the killing was premeditated.
Newsome said nothing has been able to confirm or deny that Hutcheson knew Cook or the juvenile.
He also said he can't confirm the juvenile was the same boy involved in Cook's arrest in March.
She was charged with interference with child custody and contributing to the delinquency of a minor in that incident, according to jail records.
Cook hasn't gone to court on those charges, records indicate.
Newsome said Cook had not appeared to be violent in previous police interactions.
"This would be out of the ordinary for her," he said.
Newsome said he personally told Hutcheson's mother, who lives in Cedartown, the news of the suspects' capture.
"She was very emotional and very appreciative of the efforts," he said. "We had a very emotional visit with her."
The rest of Hutcheson's family is also from Cedartown, he said. That includes a boyfriend and a four-year-old girl.
Hutcheson was a 2003 graduate of Cedartown High School and a 2011 graduate of Georgia Northwestern Technical College in Rome, according to her Facebook page.
Newsome is meeting for a debriefing with law enforcement this afternoon to decide how to proceed with the investigation.
He has also been talking throughout the night and morning with Polk County District Attorney Bobby Brooks,
Brooks, who came to the Polk County Sheriff's Office after being informed the suspects had been apprehended, said he hasn't decided whether to try the juvenile as an adult.
That decision will be made later after the investigation in completed, he said.
Update:Ken McIntyre, vice president of communication for Domino's Pizza said during an interview that the corporation was informed of the stabbing last night.
"We were horrified. An innocent person losing her life is just beyond words," McIntyre said. "Are prayers go with the family."
McIntyre said Domino's was grateful that the police were able to respond so quickly in the capture of the suspects.
When asked about the risk to employees delivering pizza McIntyre said Domino's gives training programs to its employees and takes preventative measures in order to lessen the risk of violent encounters such as limiting the amount of money drivers carry.
"We have been delivering pizzas for 52 years, and there's a lot we do, but what we can't do is eliminate evil," McIntyre said.
Update:The suspects were captured around noon Friday, according to Newsome.
The suspects were found near Thompson and Lafayette streets, according to police.
Previously reported:A pizza delivery worker was killed Thursday night while making a delivery at 229 Thompson Street, Cedartown, according to officials.
The two suspects remain at large, police said.
Elizabeth Hutcheson, 27, was found by police around 9:15 p.m. bleeding in the doorway of the Thompson Street home, according to Cedartown Assistant Police Chief Jamie Newsome. Hutcheson suffered multiple stab wounds and had been bludgeoned, he said.
She was pronounced dead at Polk Medical Center.
"It's been 15 to 18 years since we've had a something this violent," Newsome said.
Newsome said police believe the suspects, Cadedra L. Cook, 18, of the residence, and a 15-year-old juvenile ordered a pizza from Domino's and they killed Hutcheson when she delivered it.
Murder warrants have been issued for both, but police have not yet found either.
Police do not have a motive and do not know if drugs were involved, he said.
"I feel rather confident we know what happened. We don't know why," Newsome said.
He said police discovered Hutcheson by chance just moments after the attack.
"Cedartown police was working a traffic stop in the 100 block of Thompson Street and officers heard frantic screaming," he said. "They could tell it was something serious so they abandoned the traffic stop to go find it."
Newsome said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) has assisted the city in the case from the beginning and Cedartown is also receiving help from the Polk County Police Department and the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
Neighbors to 229 Thompson St. said they are shocked at the brutal killing of a pizza deliver person Thursday night.
"I can't sleep. I have to go to work, but I've been up all night," one neighbor, who spoke on condition of anonymity said.
"It's just a shock that it happened so close to home," another neighbor, who also didn't want to be identified, said.
One said she saw police lights when Cedartown officers made a traffic stop on the street, just 50 feet from where Elizabeth Hutcheson, 27, was killed.
"I came out on the porch. Police had a car pulled over and then I heard someone screaming for help," she said.
"They walked up there and she was laying halfway in the house, half on the porch."
No one said they saw the attack where Hutcheson was stabbed multiple times and bludgeoned to death.
Police are still looking for Cadedra Cook, 18, and a 15-year-old juvenile suspected in the attack.
No motive has been determined and police are not speculating on whether the brutal slaying was premeditated.
Polk County Jail reports indicate that Cook, who was living at 1019 Jones St., Cedartown, was arrested March 19 on charges of contributing to the delinquency of a minor and interference with custody.
It is unknown whether the minor in that case is the same one suspected in Thursday's homicide.
She was released on bond March 20.
Cook's Facebook page stated she was originally from Marietta and had ties to Aragon and had more than 200 virtual friends. It also lists her as a Rockmart High School graduate and married.
Domino's Pizza was supposed to open at 11 a.m. on Friday, but remained closed, locked with opening lights off. Although four cars were parked on the lot, no one was in the building.
Calls made to the local franchise owner and to Domino's corporate headquarters in Ann Arbor, Mich., have not yet been returned.
