Gravity Brewbar Soft Opening in Wynwood December 7
Gravity Brewbar, Miami's newest brewpub, will be holding a soft opening on Friday, December 7, at its new location in Wynwood.
The pre-game starts two days before that, on December 5, at The Broken Shaker starting at 8 p.m. The festivities last until 1 a.m. The new place is located at 299 NW 25th Street, only a block from the arts district, and opening time is set for 7 p.m. This of course depends upon whether Gravity receives its permits in time.

- Gravity Brewbar Coming to Wynwood: A Brewpub With A Bottling Line
The Gravity opening is meant to coincide with Art Basel, for which Gravity is also making beer. "Basically I wanted to do the opening with the Art Basel crowd to get our name and presence out there," Gravity owner Diego Ganoza says.
As far as the interior is concerned, Ganoza was able to give a few details. It will be minimalist at first, but will soon be decorated with vintage space age and atomic age memorabilia. The inside will be divided into two separate parts: the bar and brewery.
Remember the bottling line? Ganoza is still working on having it operational within six months. For now all of the beer will be kegged. When the brewery is up and running, 750 mL empty champagne bottles will be used to bottle the beer.
All beer recipes are developed by Ganoza and his brewer, Robert Tejon, formerly of the Misfit Home-Brewer's club.
Gravity will also feature a menu with items ranging from $6.50 bratwursts to $14 Korean fried chicken.
So what is going to be on tap? Ganoza is planning a traditional English old ale fermented with Brettanomyces, a special type of yeast strain commonly used to make English ales, lambics and certain Belgian-style beers such as saisons and Trappists.
Additionally, there will be an all-cherry cider fermented with a Belgian wild yeast for a sweet and tart flavor, a triple India pale ale that is brewed with three times the amount of hops and malt what a typical IPA receives, and more.
In what started off as a just a conventional tavern two years ago, Ganoza is building his vision of a Wynwood brewpub. "I figured Wynwood deserves something more original and we could provide an original beer," Ganoza says.

When she announced her candidacy for President in January 1964, three-term Republican Senator Margaret Chase Smith became the first woman to seek the nomination of one of the two major political parties.
Several Mainers have run for president or vice president, a number of presidents, past presidents, and future presidents have had ties to the state or visited here, and, during campaign season, many presidential candidates and their family members have brought their campaigns to Maine.

Cottage in Lanner, Nr. Truro/ Camborne, Cornwall, England - Peaceful Location Ideal For Walking And Cycling Holidays
One of this property's greatest assets is the fact that the historic Tresavean Tramway runs alongside he property. This tramway forms part of the Cornwall Mineral tramways project. This is a haven for cyclists, horse riders and walkers. The rich mining areas of Cornwall's central mining district now benefit from a 60km network of multi-activity trails. New trails have recently been created to link with existing routes such as the Coast to Coast trail, being mainly traffic free. The network offers people a unique opportunity to access a wide area that is rich in mining heritage and dramatic landscapes. Of course, we cannot forget our glorious beaches! Being centrally located the property is well placed for visiting beaches on both the North and South Coasts.

Lovely, peaceful place, ideal base for exploring Cornwall
This is our second visit, and just as good as last time. It was pouring with rain when we arrived, but we still received a warm welcome and a cream tea.
The hosts are kind and helpful but not intrusive. The cottage is equipped with everything you could need and has a lovely garden where you can sit.
Beautiful Cottage in quiet location
We had a wonderful time staying at Fern Cottage. The apartment is attached to the family's main home, but they're warm, lovely people who made us feel very welcome. The apartment is comfortable and beautifully decorated with all the amenities you could want. It's obviously well cared for and we felt very much at home. The location is remote and quiet, which is exactly what we wanted, but you will definitely need a car to get around. The family keeps chickens and has a couple of pet cats and a dog who all roam around the gardens freely - we loved this but it may not be for everyone. I would highly recommend staying here and we would love to come again!
Lovely little cottage
We were met by the owners with a cream tea, which was most welcome after a long journey. The cottage was clean and inviting and has everything you could need except a hairdryer.
There are quite a few steps, some of them quite big, so you may want to bear this in mind.
We had a lovely holiday with the cottage being conveniently situated for most places in the south of Cornwall. Will definitely think of this cottage and the friendly and helpful owners next time we visit Cornwall.
Fern Cottage at Lanner
Owners very friendly and helpful. Parking appeared to be difficult on arrival but we didn't have any problems after that. A delicious cream tea awaiting us with the biggest scones. We also received biscuits, eggs etc. Randall went fishing and brought back mackerel which my husband enjoyed. Nice shower and window space for cosmetics. Good Wi-Fi. Near to many delightful places.
A wonderful Holiday
After a long drive from London a very warm welcome with Tea and warm Scones in the sun just outside the beautiful Cottage. Very nicely furnished, extremly quiet and very clean. Ideal for walking right out the garden gate to the Cornwall greens around you or central for driving to either North, South, East or West of Cornwall. Due to the quietness and cozyness, we had no urge to leave in the evening to go out. The bed /bedroom assures a restfull sleep. We had a lovely week and enjoyed being guests of Randall and Annette. Absolute recommendable and if we are off to Cornwall again, this is the first address I'll contact! Thanks again to Annette and Randall.
Lovely hideaway!
Pleasantly surprised with the location of this property - located off a country lane - so felt quite secluded.
The quality of the property was first class - quite recently renovated so nice and clean.
First class welcome from the owners - Randall and Annie - cream tea much appreciated after a long drive!
The property is all on one level making access easy. Would love to return!
Central location made it easy to drive to all the locations / visitor spots that we wanted to visit.
Thank you again, to our hosts for letting us stay in your lovely property.

Do I have to supply my ex-wife with my current wife's financial information?
Question Details:
My ex is allowed to ask for my tax information once a year but now that I am re-married I was wondering what she is allowed to have since my wife's information is on there?
If you are filing jointly with your new wife, but your ex-wife has a right to see your actual tax information, then she will be able to see you new wife's information, too--they are part of the same return. If you cannot negotiate some alternative to provinding the tax return (providing your personal W-2 and/or 1099s--they should have the most relevant information for your ex wife?), you may want to consider filing separately from your new wife, if you or she feel strongly about showing her financial to the ex wife.
Good luck.

While rolling home from Dallas on Monday, I was trading e-mails with PFT Live producer Matt Casey, and we decided to roll the dice and ask NBC's Al Michaels if he'd join the show.
We got lucky — he was available and he was interested, and little did we know that Monday was the five-year anniversary of his arrival at NBC.
The move from ESPN came in an intriguing way. He was, in essence, "traded" to NBC for a variety of rights-related concessions and the inclusion of Oswald the Rabbit, a Mickey Mouse-style creation of Walt Disney who had been the property of Universal for decades.
There was far more to the deal than Oswald, but it ended up being a great deal for NBC. But for a tweet from ESPN's Bill Hofheimer, we wouldn't have realized that it was the "wood" anniversary for the marriage between Al and NBC.
Here's Al talking about — and finding out about — the fact that five years have passed since he joined NBC.

ST. PETERSBURG — This past summer, St. Petersburg senior setter Amanda Cook played on a club team with Tarpon Springs senior Karli Collins directed by Tarpon Springs coach Patrick Sneed. That familiarity backfired against Cook on Tuesday as the Spongers outlasted the Green Devils 25-8, 25-16, 23-25, 25-17.
"We knew how good of a hitter she was so we focused on keeping the ball from her as much as possible," Sneed said. "We didn't do a good job of it in the third, but we made sure we knew where she was in the fourth."
The Spongers cruised through the first two games behind Collins, who had a combined seven aces to go along with eight kills and helped Tarpon Springs mount a 10-0 lead in the second game.
Tarpon Springs built a 11-7 lead in the third but St. Petersburg battled back to take a 13-12 lead on a ferocious kill by Cook, who had nine of her 13 kills in the game. The teams traded the lead four times and shared a tie six times the rest of the game before the Green Devils closed it out with a kill by Cook and a block by Mary Reschar.
"I'm proud of the way we fought back, and the way we passed and communicated is something we can learn from and use the rest of the season," Cook said.
In the fourth game, the Spongers (5-6) built an 8-2 lead before the Green Devils closed the gap to 11-10. But after Micah MacGregor forced a side out with a kill, Kelly Lorenz served two consecutive aces, followed up by two kills from Collins as the Spongers went on a 9-0 run to put the match away. MacGregor led Tarpon with 11 kills.
"We just have to use this type of game to learn to put teams away when we have the chance and don't let them gain confidence," Collins said.

The "Bulldog RC Rider" is a 1/3rd-scale remote-control vehicle with a 110cc engine, disc brakes, five-spoke aluminum wheels, and an optional bad Steve Vai funk soundtrack. But unlike most R/C cars the Bulldog can be converted into a pint-sized ATV, easily ridden by what appear to be grown men. It's sort of a strange combination of hobbies, but I like it. It's just too bad that you can't hand the 2.4GHz controller over to a buddy and have him try to shake you off while you're riding. (Converting it to an ATV deactivates the remote controls.)
The whole rig will cost something like two grand once manufacturer 3Z Scale gets it to market. [via Hobbymedia.it]

can i give my dog dramamine??
for motion sickness while ridding on long trips?
Asked by

in Health & Wellness
- Cast your vote for which answer you think is best!
It is not wise to give any human meds to dogs. I would discuss this with your vet.
I recommend not feeding your dog on long trips, only water.
frequent stops to the rest stops or forest preserve to get his legs on ground/ eliminate himself.
Use a crate.
If it is cool outside you can roll the back window down and cover the crate's door with a towel to minium the view of the motion he sees.
Also chew bone, or a kong stuffed with meat/ or peanut butter.
Instead of fast food stop at a grocery store or save the fast food to go outside and eat with the dog, pack him a light lunch like diced ham if he does not actually vomit on the road.

Telemundo's broadcast of Tuesday's Hexagonal finale between Costa Rica and Mexico that almost resulted in El Tri's elimination from
the World Cup averaged 4.64 million total viewers and 2.81 million adults 18-49, outperforming Fox's entire primetime lineup, as well as ABC's programming from 9-11 p.m. ET among adults
The "Rumbo al Mundial" broadcast ranked as the highest-rated Mexico game of the year among total viewers on any network, reaching a cumulative audience of 8 million total
viewers and 4.7 million adults 18-49.
Locally, the match was No. 1 regardless of language among total viewers in Los Angeles, Miami, Houston and Dallas.
Friday night's Mexico
game against Panama -- a 2-1 win that ended up saving El Tri for now -- drew similar numbers.
The broadcast reached 7.3 million viewers who tuned in to watch all or part of the telecast
on UniMas. It averaged 4.6 million viewers and 2.73 million adults 18-49.
USA-JAMAICA. The final ESPN broadcast
of the USA's Hexagonal campaign -- Friday's USA-Jamaica game in Kansas City -- averaged 917,000 viewers, ranking fifth of the nine U.S. World Cup 2014 qualifying broadcasts on the ESPN networks.
ESPN U.S. 2014 World Cup Qualifying Viewers:
2,385,000 Mexico-USA (ESPN, March 2013)
2,243,000 USA-Mexico (ESPN, Sept. 2013)

857,000 USA-Costa Rica (ESPN, March 2013)
730,000 USA-Guatemala (ESPN2, Oct. 2012)
MLB PLAYOFF COMPARISON. The combined average audiences for USA-Jamaica on ESPN and Mexico-Panama on UniMas were equal to the 5.5 million viewers for Friday's NLCS opener between the
St. Louis Cardinals and Los Angeles Dodgers on TBS. (Household ratings were 31.1 in St. Louis and 12.4 in Los Angeles, reflecting just how much of a baseball town St. Louis.)
NLCS game between the Cardinals and Dodgers that started an hour and a half before the final Hexagonal matches averaged 5.8 million total viewers on TBS.
Through four games, the NLCS on
TBS has averaged 4.9 million viewers. The Tigers-Red Sox ALCS series has averaged 7.2 million viewers.

Completing an unusual exchange of offensive coordinators, the Atlanta Falcons hired Dirk Koetter from Jacksonville to replace Mike Mularkey, only days after being introduced as new head coach of the Jaguars. The Falcons announced the signing on Sunday.
Mularkey, whose Falcons' offense was shutout in a 24-2 loss against the New York Giants last week, was introduced as head coach at Jacksonville on Wednesday. Hired former quarterbacks coach for the Falcons, Bob Bratkowski as his offensive coordinator.
The Falcons hired Koetter even though the Jaguars ranked last in the league in total offense and passing yards in 2011. Koetter's offense ranks in the No. 29 with its average of 15.2 points per game. Basketball lines
Koetter was signed by Jacksonville as offensive coordinator in 2007. He worked with the current head coach of the Falcons, Mike Smith, for one year. Smith was the Jaguars' defensive coordinator before becoming head coach in Atlanta in 2008.
Smith said Koetter would bring "a lot of fresh ideas to our offense. Basketball betting lines
"It's brilliant, understands the intricacies of the vertical passing game, but he also wants to run the football, which is important in the NFL," Smith said. "I look forward to working with Dirk and we have tremendous confidence that he will be a great addition to our team and coaching staff."
Smith has emphasized a philosophy of run first, in front of Atlanta.
After the Jaguars dismiss Jack Del Rio this season, interim head coach Mel Tucker Koetter assigned the additional role of quarterbacks coach for the last five games of the season.
The rookie quarterback Jacksonville, Blaine Gabbert, and Luke McCown combined for 12 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
The strength of the Jaguars was their running game. Maurice Jones-Drew led the NFL with 1.606 yards rushing.
The Falcons lost both coordinators after the campaign. The team is still looking to replace defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder, who returned to college ranks to take charge of the Auburn defense.
Koetter, 52 years old, finished with a combined 66-44 as head coach of Boise State (1998 to 2000) and Arizona State (2001-06). On Wednesday, he met with Alabama coach Nick Saban, the offensive coordinator of the Crimson Tide.
In Atlanta, Koetter inherits an offense that has holders set as quarterback Matt Ryan, running back Michael Turner, tight end Tony Gonzalez and wide receivers Roddy White and Julio Jones. With the exception of Jones, who had a breakout performance as a rookie in 2011, all those players and fullback Ovie Mughelli, have played in the Pro Bowl.
Despite the wealth of talent, the offensive was a deception when the team suffered its third straight playoff in four years under Smith.
As part of its draft-day trade in 2011 with the Cleveland Browns to move up and take to Jones at the site No. 6 overall selections the Falcons paid first and fourth round in 2012.
The trade leaves the Falcons draft picks less this year to address problem areas on offense, including the offensive line.

Thought some people might enjoy this, esp Porsche guys on here. The best thing is all the pics are clickable to super high res, great for backgrounds and picking off elements for photoshopping.
This kid put up a post on reddit about how much time his dad puts into his blog, I wasn't expecting much, but it's a good read with great photos.
http://digitaldtour.com/Every night when I come home, I see my dad quietly sitting at his desk working on his car blog (he even made his own neat little business cards!), beaming as he proudly shows me his 50 to 100 daily views. I'd love for him to wake up to a bit more than that as I know how much it means to him!
I think I'm in love.

Attorney stresses getting involved
McKeesport attorney Ryan H. James believes young professionals should make their mark by being active in their communities.
James, 29, is taking part in his second History Uncorked at the John Heinz History Center in Pittsburgh's Strip District on Feb. 21.
The "Poptastic!" theme centers around artist Burton Morris, whose works will be on display throughout the center's six floors.
The celebration for guests 21 and older begins at 7 p.m. and will include DJs, bands, food and raffles.
"Each year, it's Pittsburgh's premier party for young professionals," said James, who is on the planning committee for the 16th annual event. "I wanted to be involved, really to network and make a connection in Pittsburgh's business community. The event has a great draw among young professionals, and it makes money to support the History Center."
James is familiar with organizing fundraisers. He was one of Whirl Magazine's "Pittsburgh's 50 Finest" young professionals in 2013, and part of his responsibility was to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.
Nominees from among the city's most accomplished and eligible men and women are selected based on their community outreach and career-oriented success. They seek community support and organize activities to raise at least $2,500 for the foundation, which is the leading organization in world in the search for a cure for cystic fibrosis.
"Being included in 'Pittsburgh's 50 Finest' is one of the greatest honors of my life, for sure," James said. "It's humbling, and I'm definitely committed to the cause."
James' mantra is "if not you, then who?" when it comes to community service. He believes young professionals should be as active as possible in shaping their workplaces and their communities.
"This generation has a lot to offer in terms of talent and ideas," he said. "That applies to their careers and what they can do in the community."
James is a life-long McKeesport resident who is happy to be working in his hometown.
"I always knew I wanted to be an attorney," he said. "The path to getting there was difficult, but I worked hard. I knew I wanted to be back in the Pittsburgh area."
James graduated from McKeesport Area High School in 2003. He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Allegheny College in 2007, and completed his studies at the Thomas M. Cooley Law School in 2011.
He worked with a White Oak-based firm before opening his own general practice firm 18 months ago. James focuses on criminal defense and real estate litigation.

Help please

Hello girls and guys. New to the forum here and hoping y'all might be able to help me out. I bought a 98 tj a few months ago with a 6inch suspension lift. I had no details on the lift when I bought it. I'm starting to notice my LCA bushings are worn out, but I have no idea what kind of LCA's they are or where to find the bushings. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Here is pic of the drivers side front.
Attachment 149548
I'm not sure, but I'll bump the thread for you. :)
Wow that may be a hell of a guessing game
Look on your shocks,all over the arms for some kinda brand name,anything
Look around for nearby 4x4 shops.maybe they can look at it and tell you
Look for then last owners name....look for him/her on Facebook
Ask them
Sometimes when I bought cars the tittle still had there name on it
Look for a carfax report,maybe it was involved in a minor wreck,it may contain a name also
Well the shocks have rough country on them, but wasn't positive if it had rough country LCA's too..
Trust me.....no one buys rough country shocks only,there shocks are there biggest complaint
You could also email them photos of your lift and they can maybe tell you what model kit you have to buy replacement bushings
Out of kindness and customer support they may cut you a deal on bushings
Are the LCAs adjustable? More pics?

Those look like RC flex arms..they have that weird bend >.<

If you are anything like me, there are some days that I feel completely distracted. Sometimes it's a deadline that I'm working towards or a project that I forgot and need to get to the moment I walk into work – but in many cases – it's that darn SmartPhone – phone calls, emails, Pinterest, Facebook, the weather – you name it! We live in a world of distractions.
Teenagers are no different! One in five high school students and one in eight middle school students crosses the street while distracted, according to a new research report released this week by Safe Kids Worldwide.
The report, "Teens and Distraction: An In-Depth Look at Teens' Walking Behaviors," made possible with support from FedEx®, presents an observational study that recorded more than 34,000 middle and high school students crossing the street in a school zone. Conducted in 17 states and 68 schools, the study looked at whether teens are crossing the street while distracted, and if so, what devices they are using.
According to the research, 39 percent of the students who are crossing the street while distracted are typing on a cell phone and 39 percent are listening to headphones. The remaining students are talking on the phone (20 percent) or using another electronic device, such as a tablet or game (2 percent).
The study was developed to explore findings from a 2012 Safe Kids report that found pedestrian injuries among 16-19 year olds increased 25 percent over the previous five years. Teens now account for half of all pedestrian deaths among children 19 and under.
We as a country had been doing so well in injury prevention – but distractions are starting to reverse that trend. Safe Kids suspected that the increase was due to distraction by mobile devices, but there was not much data to support that conclusion. To understand the scope of the problem, Safe Kids activated their network to observe 34,000 students crossing in school zones. The findings were alarming.
In addition to the observational survey, the study also describes findings from discussions with more than 2,400 students. Almost half of the students (49 percent) say they use a cell phone while walking to school. Four out of 10 say they listen to music while walking. Interestingly, while teens are at the greatest risk for pedestrian crashes, only 22 percent of students say it is kids their own age who are most likely to be hit by a car while walking.
I see this all the time. School started in area communities over the last few weeks and I think I see 3-5 teens each day on their way to school listening to headphone or texting.
As the school year kicks off, share this information with your middle and high schoolers who may be walking to school. It's so important to be paying full attention when crossing the street!
Safe Kids Greater Dayton and FedEx are launching a national effort calling on parents and teens to join the Moment of Silence Campaign and stay safe while walking. Please share this information with your kids!

Er, what exactly do you want from these numbers? More digits to look at?
For that you could use InputForm or other print formatting techniques.
Do you expect to obtain more digits that mean something? You can
rationalize the input, make an interpolation perhaps to higher order,
but lacking very strong assumptions on the regularity of the data, there
is no grounds to expect more than a few digits or so to "correctly"
model whatever might be the implicit underlying function. Hence without
such information it makes little sense to treat many digits of y-values
at intermediate points as significant, regardless of how precise are the
values at the knots.
This limitation is numerical analysis, pure and simple. It is not
realistic to expect the software to magically produce significant digits
from thin air. I admit we do that sort of thing from time to time, but
then we fix the bugs.

Kolkata, Feb 12: Some of the world's best cricketers may feature in former Indian skipper Sourav Ganguly's team for the inaugural IPL.
Other than Adam Gilchrist, who has always been there on his priority list, the Kolkata team skipper said, ''Obviously when one makes the team he wants to pick the best side. I am no exception.'' ''There are players like Gili(Gilchrist), Jaques Kallis, Mathew Hayden, Shaun Pollock, Brett Lee, Shahid Afridi and Mohd Yousuf who you will always want in your side,'' Ganguly told a private TV channel last night.
Yesterday, Shahrukh Khan's Red Chilles Entertainment representatives made a survey of Eden Gardens and the 'King' of Bolywood had a tele-talk with the 'Prince of Kolkata'.
Shahrukh seems to have given Ganguly a free hand in making the team and designated him as the captain, though a formal announcement is expected on February 19. It is perhaps why Sourav will meet him in Mumbai a day before.
So you are going to be the captain of the side, he said, ''It seems so. I have got that feeling.'' Coming back to being dropped from the ODI team, Ganguly said, ''Yes, it is disappointing. But I have reconciled to the fact. The selectors know best which team to pick. I hope to score some more runs and perhaps the performance will guide them.'' On being asked whether he saw any exceptional fielding, the reason why he was dropped, he said, ''That is not fair for me to point out.I am a senior cricketer and have a responsibility towards the game. I wish Dhoni and his team all the best. We have matches coming and they are tough.'' ''And I will get a lot of chance to prove myself too. Perhaps I scored the maximum runs last year with both forms of cricket combined. We have quite a few Test series this year and hope to carry on with the good form,'' Ganguly said.
Coming back to the inaugural IPL, Ganguly said, ''I am really excited about the IPL. I have played it during the county stint. I am looking forward to the new challenge.'' Meanwhile, the name of the Kolkata team is being decided and its jersey designed. It seems the team will have its own theme song that will be sung by Kolkata's very own Usha Utthup.

Ed Balls has stood by Labour's first election manifesto promise – a compulsory jobs guarantee for the young unemployed for the whole of the next parliament – by saying it will be funded by a one-off levy on bankers' bonuses and a restriction on higher rate pension tax relief to 20% for those earning over £150,000 a year.
His plan came under attack from some thinktanks, who said it was too complex and unlikely to be securely funded. An attack mounted by the Conservatives on the cost of the scheme and by some employers is seen as a test of Labour's ability to produce bulletproof popular policies.
Balls said on Mondaythe levy on bonuses will not be used for any other purpose, prompting shadow employment minister Stephen Timms to say previously-announced plans to fund the building of 25,000 new homes using such money may have to be rethought.
However, the funding for the scheme was described by the Institute for Fiscal Studies thinktank as "really likely to complicate the pensions landscape". The Institute of Directors (IoD) opposed the proposal outright.
Other business organisations doubted whether enough employers would come forward to offer subsidised work placements.
Balls, who believes the policy would be popular, tried to dispel suggestions the party has committed to spend funding from bonuses more than once.
"In our manifesto the only thing we will use the banks bonus levy for – raised in that first year – is for the youth and long-term unemployed compulsory jobs guarantee," he said.
In line with previous promises, Labour said it will require any young person aged 18-24 and unemployed for more than a year to go on the scheme, as well as anyone unemployed for more than two years.
There are currently 50,000 young people unemployed for more than a year, and all would be required to go on the scheme or lose benefit.
Labour said the state would pay those on the scheme the minimum wage for 25 hours work for six months, as well as equivalent national insurance contributions.
Government would also give employers £500 per worker to pay towards training and administrative costs. Labour claimed 80% of the young unemployed were likely to be kept on by employers after the six-month placement.
The shadow Treasury team pointed to House of Commons figures suggesting the costing of the youth guarantee, and the scheme for older unemployed workers, would be £1.9bn in the first year and £900m annually in the following years.
Treasury civil servants have suggested the true costs for both schemes will be £2.5bn.
A former Treasury official, Tony Wilson, said the Treasury costings do not include the savings to the benefits bill which Labour says can be made as a result or the savings from existing government schemes which will be superceded by the compulsory jobs guarantee.
The Treasury costing also assumes that no one will find work during the year on the scheme so maximising the cost.
Paul Johnson, director of IFS, said Labour's pledge to fund the jobs guarantee through a bonus tax would raise a lot of money but would be very complicated.
Ruth Porter, at the right-of-centre thinktank Policy Exchange, said: "Schemes like this have tended to fail because they have not been able to attract many private sector employers.
"As this proposal is mandatory for young people, private businesses are even less likely to participate, especially given the negative media reaction to companies such as Tesco and Poundland which participated in the government's voluntary work experience programme."
Labour was unable to announce any companies yet willing to participate in the scheme, but said 75% would be in the private sector.
The IoD said Labour's scheme did not bear scrutiny, adding: "Wage subsidies for employers are not the source of sustainable jobs."

Basement floor options. Two drains and one transition
2 Attachment(s)
I have a house built in the 50s. There are two drains in the basement. One is located in a 4 foot hallway adjacent to the laundry and furnace. The other is located 4 feet from the outside door in the kitchen area. Lastly, there is a transition from the old basement exterior door threshold to the new addition's concrete pad. The old basement floor is approximately 1/2 to 3/4 inch higher than the addition's slab.
I am trying to figure out the best way to finish the floor with tile.
The plan is ceramic tile. The kitchen is connected to the laundry room and we want to keep the same tile throughout. The kitchen laundry room connection is in the picture. In one picture you can see the difference in floor height and the drain at the bottom. I'm trying to figure out how to tile across this uneven floor. I don't know if I can attempt to blend the two together or go with an uneven section with some kind of custom oak transition. I just need ideas.
I think that whatever floor you install, is going to crack right at the crack that separate the 2 different slabs, and the same thing is likely to happen to the crack that goes straight to the drain. In that case leave a small gap between the 2 tile floor, and fill it with caulking with the same color as the grout. I don't recommend using wood over concrete, is a weak material, expanding and contracting all the time with humidity changes.
You could maybe consider doing some sort of an underlay on the concrete that is lower to help build it up. This way you might be able to get it all to be the same height. I know their are underlays available, I am just sure their are any that will allow you to build it up quite this much. Maybe some who specializes in tile can chime in.
You can build it up using self-leveling concrete (a very liquid type of cement). Just keep the slopes around the drain.
It would be kind of hard using self leveling concrete in that area that the door was,as you have that drain to contend with,and raising it would create a problem raising the drain to the new floor level.
If it were me i would install the tile on the existing concrete floors,and where the different levels meet,i'd use a wood transition strip,for the 1/2 to 3/4 inch height difference,your also going to need to raise your drain strainers to the new floor levels,there's a kit for that,or you can just use spacers and longer screws.

The biggest star in Sweden's third-tier hockey division punched his coach during a preseason game and was cut from his team. He then signed with a second-tier team, earning himself a promotion and fueling speculation that the punch was thrown for the express purpose of getting out of his contract.
Euro Hockey reports Eric Przepiorka was the main attraction on Olofström IK, a team in Sweden's third tier. During a preseason game Saturday, Przepiorka punched his coach, Tim Brithen, reportedly because he wasn't getting enough ice time on power plays. He was quickly released on account of the team's strict "don't cold-cock your coach during a game" policy.
Soon after getting cut, Przepiorka was rumored to be signing with Asplöven, a team in the second league. It's not a perfect analogy, but imagine a double-A baseball player getting cut and moving to triple-A and you can get a sense for Przepiorka's unlikely journey.
The theory behind all this, first put out by respected Swedish hockey blogs and brought to our attention by Puck Daddy, is that Przepiorka threw the punch just so he'd get cut and released from his contract. It seems to have worked. Not only did he get his new team, he got to hit someone he (probably) didn't like. Przepiorka had his cake and punched it too.

With its wealth of nutritional benefits, including heart healthy fats, many health experts recommend adding more fish to our diets. During the holidays, eating more fish may make it easier to eat some lighter meals. This delicious dish can be the inspiration to eat more fish as the New Year begins.
Rainbow trout is actually part of the salmon family and is also known as golden trout. It has tender flesh and a delicious, mild, nutty flavor. Most rainbow trout available in the United States is farm-raised and it's done using a system of continuously flowing water to reduce any pollution or safety concerns. Environmental organizations, like Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch recommend buying U.S. rainbow trout and avoiding imported farm trout, which is often sold as steelhead.
When buying fish, don't be misguided by the term "fresh." Ask your purveyor for their definition of fresh. If buying fillets, look for gaps in the flesh because that's a sign fish may not be fresh. Likewise, any discoloration, such as brown or yellow edges, is a sign to avoid. If buying whole fish to fillet at home, look for firm, shiny flesh. It should bounce back when you touch it. Trust your nose: a strong fishy smell may mean it's too old. The eyes should be clear, not cloudy. The gills should be pink or red and wet, not slimy or dry.
Once you have fresh quality rainbow trout, pairing it with a vibrant tomato and orange sauce enhances its natural wholesome flavor. The acidity of the tomatoes balances with the sweetness of the oranges to produce a delightful taste and aroma. The addition of ginger imparts a hint of the Orient. This beautiful dish is served on a bed of whole-wheat couscous, but you can easily substitute brown rice or quinoa.
This recipe gets you off to a good start to make eating fish twice a week a New Year's resolution you can keep, benefit from and enjoy!
Rainbow Trout with Oranges and Tomatoes
- 1 cup whole-wheat couscous
- 2 medium oranges
- 2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil, divided
- 4 rainbow trout fillets, about 1 lb.
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped ginger root
- 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
- 4 green onions, thinly sliced, including stems
Cook couscous per package directions. Peel oranges and trim off white pith. Over small bowl, separate oranges into sections and cut each section in half, while catching any juice. Set aside.
In large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium heat. Cook fillets until opaque, about 2 minutes per side or until done. Season to taste with salt and pepper, transfer to plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
Use remaining oil and sauté garlic and ginger until light brown, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes and stir gently and occasionally until tomatoes start to break down, about 3-4 minutes. Add oranges and any juice and gently toss to heat through.
On four individual serving plates, make a bed of couscous. Carefully lay a fillet on top and spoon tomato and orange mixture over fillet. Garnish with green onion and serve immediately.

People were glued to their radio sets during Mahatma Gandhi's "Quit India" speech broadcast. In the heyday of the JP Movement, rallies in Gandhi Maidan were telecast when television had just made its debut. This Sunday, Adhikar Rally would be webcast ' a first in the state's history of rallies.
Forget the footfall in Patna during chief minister Nitish Kumar's address to secure rights of people, his admirers and tech-savvy NRIs worldwide would not miss a single word with live webcast being readied by software engineers.
"It will be webcast live from 10am to 3pm worldwide," Sanjay Jha, a confidant of Nitish, told The Telegraph. People will just have to log on to www.biharadhikarrally.com to find out what the leaders have to say.
"IT professionals from Delhi, Pune and Patna have been working for over a month to prepare the website and have the show webcast live," said Jha, stressing that the website would become operational on November 4.
Jha said the live webcast was required because the event would not be telecast outside the state and supporters across the globe should be updated about what is going on at the rally. "The website will have its utility even after the rally. We will keep updating it on the developments related to the demand for special status of the state," Jha added.
The technology being used for the rally is not limited to the webcast. The JD(U) is planning to install 22 LED screens at Gandhi Maidan, where the rally would be organised.
Each screen will be 10ft long and 8ft wide. "Nitish and other JD(U) leaders would be visible from the remotest corner of the ground. It will be like a cricket ground where the crowd can see the proceedings on giant screens. We are expecting a crowd of around one million," a senior JD(U) leader said.
Bihar leaders have been slow to pick up modern technology for political activities after RJD chief Lalu Prasad once mocked IT and computers. It was only after Nitish came to power that the Assembly made a move to provide a laptop to all its legislators. This year, the state government gave its legislators I-pads.

Ray Scott is looking for a few good men — again.
Back in 1967, Scott parlayed a combination of inspiration and persuasion into the founding of the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society, which grew into the largest fishing organization in the United States. Scott says, "BASS came into being because I was able to convince a few stalwarts that my ideas about bass tournaments and conservation weren't totally crazy. Those first few members were believers, and they became the core for what grew into a national fishing movement."
Now Scott has launched another crusade — "putting the sport back into sportfishing" by using light tackle. And as before, this "Father of Bass Fishing" is looking for partners. "I need another group of believers — a handful of 'Marines' who will lead the charge and help me get this new endeavor started."
Scott thinks that heavy fishing pressure and tournament-inspired techniques have caused bass to grow shy of big lures offered on heavy tackle. He preaches that by downsizing tackle and lures, anglers will get more bites and have more fun with the fish they hook.
"Lighter line is more difficult for bass to see, and it allows you to cast lures that are smaller and more natural-looking," he explains. "I guarantee, you'll get a whole lot more bites on light tackle and line than you ever thought about getting on heavy tackle spooled with 'well-rope.' "
And, Scott just happens to have an innovative high-tech rod/reel to outfit his new followers. He is offering two Sportackle spinning rods of his own design, a 6 ½- and a 7-foot model. These rods are truly radical — different from anything previously on the market. Also, he has formed a partnership with the U.S. Reel Co. of St. Louis, Mo., to sell its new SuperCaster 225 spinning reel as a matched set with his rods. Like his Sportackle rods, the SuperCaster 225 is revolutionary in design and function. Together, this rod and reel — Scott hopes — will be the wave of bass fishing's future.
Scott's conversion
For years, Ray Scott practiced the "hog-'em-out-of-the-bushes" style of fishing: using stout casting tackle, heavy line and power tactics to winch bass in as fast as he could. As the old saw goes, he'd "play with 'em after he got 'em in the boat."
Then Scott joined Tennessee lure maker Charlie Brewer on a smallmouth fishing trip to Ontario, and this was where Scott had "an almost-religious experience" in terms of using light tackle.
"Charlie Brewer owned the Slider Lure Co. The Slider is a little 4-inch worm that Charlie fished with what he called the 'do-nothing' method. That's really what he did with it — nothing. He didn't put any action in it at all," Scott recalls. "He just cast the Slider out, let it sink, then slowly reeled it back in." To match his worm's small size, Brewer fished with a light action spinning rod and 4- to 6-pound-test line.
Scott had taken his favorite heavy tackle on that trip, but he promised Brewer that he'd fish nothing but Sliders on the first day. "And the bass killed 'em!" he says. "We caught over a hundred smallmouth that day. I don't know when I've ever had more fun and more excitement fishing for bass.
"That was when my eyes were opened to the benefits of light tackle. I never touched my heavy tackle the entire trip. I didn't need to. We were tearing them up on the light stuff."
Quest for perfection
Scott returned from this fishing trip with an inspiration. He would design the best light spinning tackle he could, then he would use this tackle to introduce America's bass anglers to the joys of little lures and subtle techniques.
First, he concentrated on the rod. Scott knew that the lighter the rod, the greater its sensitivity, so he designed a rod that weighed a mere 2.3 ounces. (Comparable light action rods are typically double this weight.) But Scott's Sportackle rods didn't trade muscle for a light touch. These one piece rods have plenty of butt strength to play big bass, then they taper to a springy tip. With 4-pound-test line, their action enables casting a 1/16-ounce lure more than 40 yards.
Other unique features of Scott's rods are smaller line guides and a blank-through cork handle without a reel seat or unneeded hardware.
Concerning the line guides, Scott explains: "Conventional spinning rods feature an oversize stripper guide and standard-size guides spaced down the rod. But my Sportackle rods have a dime-size stripper guide, much smaller guides, and a rod tip guide that's barely big enough to pass the line through. I learned through testing that by reducing the guide sizes, there's less line drag and slap on the cast, and this improves distance and accuracy."
As Scott was putting the finishing touches on his new rods, he was contacted by Fred Kemp of U.S. Reels about a new spinning reel Kemp was working on. The reel body was made of aircraft-grade carbon fiber — stronger and lighter than graphite or metal. (With a graphite spool, the SuperCaster 225 weighs 8 ounces.) Its drive and pinion gears were machined from manganese bronze and stainless steel for quality and smoothness. It had eight ball bearings and a silky front drag.
And perhaps this reel's biggest innovation is its oversized spool diameter — 2.25 inches, compared to an average of 1.5 inches of other reels in its size class.
Kemp explains, "This larger-size spool allows for longer casts, and it cuts down noticeably on line twist and memory for coiling."
Scott adds, "I tested the SuperCaster against other reels on the market, and it consistently made casts that were 8-10 feet longer than any other reel I used. Also, this reel takes up 27 inches of line in one turn of the handle, so you can wind your bait in quickly when you're ready to make another cast."
The SuperCaster 225 will accommodate line from 2- to 15-pound test. It comes with a spool arbor for filling the spool with smaller line sizes. This reel also matches well with heavier action rods and line and is highly versatile through a broad range of tackle options.
Ultimately, Scott and Kemp formed a marketing partnership, and the reel is now officially named the Ray Scott SuperCaster 225.
Not for sissies
Scott says that for anglers used to heavy tackle, taking up light-tackle fishing is like a gun hunter getting into bowhunting.
"It certainly puts excitement back into your marriage," Scott says, figuratively. "Again, you get more bites when you go light and little, and when you get used to light tackle, it's amazing what you can do with it.
"For instance, I flip and pitch with it," he continues, "but I'll cast to the edge of the cover — to the front porch step instead of into the living room. Usually, when you hook a fish at the edge of a weedline or a brushpile, it'll swim away from the cover instead of back into it. Then you just hold on until the fish plays out, and you've got it."
Scott says another light tackle trick is to use a sweep-set instead of employing a "cross-his-eyes" hook set. "Little hooks will penetrate better," he explains, "so you don't need a lot of power. Instead, when you feel a bite, you just put pressure on the fish, and he'll usually hook himself."
Scott adds that a whole range of lures can be fished on the Sportackle/SuperCaster combo, including worms, jigs, grubs, crankbaits, spinnerbaits and topwaters. "You name the lure type, and somebody's got a downsized version of it that's just right for fishing on light tackle.
"This concept and tackle system is not for everybody," he declares. "It's not for 'sissies.' But it is for visionary anglers who understand the benefits of using light tackle and who aren't afraid to try something new."
Light line tournament fishing
Some of north Alabama's best anglers stood up to the test — the 4-pound test — on Guntersville Lake in April, after a challenge from BASS founder Ray Scott to use his Sportackle spinning rods and light line on one of the best lakes in the nation.
Most of the 60 anglers who competed are members of the North Alabama Tournament Anglers (NATA) of Huntsville. Last December, an intermediary put Scott in touch with the club, which agreed to host the tournament out of Goosepond Tackle & Grill. Scott put on a similar tournament in Arkansas in 2002, prior to his Professional Bass Fishing Hall of Fame induction. But the members of NATA were the first to test their skills with 4-pound test, under his rules.
Each angler had one Sportackle spinning rod and a spinning reel of their choice, spooled with International Game Fish Association-certified 4-pound-test Ande line. They could have no other rods, reels or line in their boats. Nets also were prohibited. The anglers would have to battle the bass by hand, further heightening their anxiety.
Guntersville's notorious hydrilla and milfoil were growing, bass were found from 2 feet to 8 feet, and there were more than a few broken hearts to go with their broken line.
"I want to put the challenge back into bass fishing," Scott said. And he did.
Contestants learned that not only would light line lead to more bites, but also that 4-pound-test mono would hold up — most of the time. Hadley Coan and Donny McElvoy of Huntsville won the tournament with five bass weighing 17.10 pounds, including a 5.8-pound largemouth landed by McElvoy.
Brad Yates and Sam Bass of Scottsboro were second with 16.51 pounds. Bass topped the field with a 6.3-pound largemouth, which will be an Alabama line-class record, pending IGFA approval. Bass caught the lunker on a tube.
Coan and McElvoy caught a limit in a couple of hours with 5-inch Senkos, then switched to 7-inch Senkos in watermelon with red/green flakes on 2/0 Daiichi Bleeding Bait hooks. They were pitching the baits into the shallow hydrilla beds and letting it fall, then snapping the rod tip a couple of times to imitate a fluttering bluegill.
The day before the tournament, Coan and fellow NATA club member Len Nelson weren't getting any bites on their 14- and 17-pound-test lines. Coan switched to his Sportackle rig to become familiar with it.
"I started using it and catching fish," he said. "I probably ended up with 17 to 18 pounds, and Len didn't get a bite. I think that showed the difference line size can make sometimes. I definitely will not go out again without at least having a spinning rod with 8-pound-test line on it. If the bite is aggressive, I probably wouldn't use it. But if it's tough, I'll have that rod ready to go."

Announcer: There are more than 100 different forms of arthritis. In our next story, we look at rheumatoid arthritis which doesn't just affect the joints. It occurs more often in women and it can have a devastating effect on the whole body.
Gay Bloom: First, there's the visual observation where you will be looking at the joint. OK, you don't want to push too hard, especially on somebody like me.
Doctor: The toes just seem like they're out of joint.
Gay: Yeah, they are -- everybody is amazed.
Announcer: Gay Bloom was just a teenager when she was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis.
Gay: When you palpate you're feeling for heat, tenderness
Announcer: Now at 55, Gay is a patient instructor for new doctors at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota. She's helping them recognize the symptoms and learn the complexities of her disease.
Gay: Rheumatoid arthritis is an immune system disease. Ask your patient how they function or what problems they have with functioning because that is the worst part of this disease.
Announcer: Despite flare-ups of her arthritis, Gay has always worked full-time. Today, in addition to teaching, she's a motivational speaker.
Gay: And I think a positive attitude is what has helped me the most with my life, it's saying, "Yes, I can." The whole world has said, "No, I can't." But I say, "You wanna bet?" And I think that's a more powerful drug than the one that you actually take with a glass of water.
Announcer: At times, she does need the help of others. She and her husband, Neil, have grown children. They have been married for 34 years.
Neil: I guess there's kind of an inside feeling of her being sort of like a porcelain doll -- very fragile -- and so I always feel the need to want to do those things to care for her and protect her and so on and so forth, and I think that becomes very aggravating for her because she is a very independent thinking person and she wants to be able to do those things for herself.
Gay: It's a very misunderstood disease. It takes away my independence. It takes away my life as I knew it.
