It isn't that bad once you get past the overwhelming nausea. Then they give you a break during the 6th month or so. But soon afterwards they are big enough to lodge a tiny foot in your ribcage somewhere. Come to think of it, I still haven't grounded Kai for that.
Yeah, my youngest (was over 10 pounds when he was born), left bruises on my ribs. The outside. Sleep didn't happen after about 34 weeks, because he was so big, and I was all baby... there was NOOO getting comfortable. It sucks at the time, but it was well worth it. :)

Beyond the Book Report: Ten Alternatives
February 19, 2013 | Elena AguilarIn my last post I described 10 ways to cultivate a love of reading in kids. I want to expand on that theme by suggesting 10 alternatives to the book report. I'm not a fan of book reports; I don't think they are an effective way for a student to demonstrate understanding of a book and I don't think they help students enjoy or appreciate reading.
Let's consider some activities that allow a student to show understanding of a book and that might be enjoyable. This selection of activities is also intended to meet the needs of different kinds of learners -- or to contribute to the development of skills beyond writing. I often allowed students choice in deciding how they wanted to respond to a book -- they could choose from a list like the one below.
1. The Graphic Novel: Students draw scenes from a selected part of the book-perhaps a scene that represents the beginning, middle and end if you're working on understanding chronology; or three scenes that depict how the main character changed. If the book is rich in setting, then asking them to illustrate where the story takes place can also be revealing. Drawing will help students remember or find details. Then you can also ask them to highlight or copy the textual evidence for their illustrations.
2. An Alternative Ending: Asking students to create an alternative ending to a book -- one that makes sense -- pushes them to really demonstrate an understanding of characters and plot. What makes a gripping novel is often that you don't know what's going to happen in the end. Asking students to diverge from but build on a writer's style is very hard -- and an exciting challenge for skilled readers.
3. A Sequel: Sequels are also fun for kids to write. How many of us have reached the end of a book and wanted more? This gives them an opportunity to predict what would happen next. It's also challenging because a sequel has to make sense; there must be a continuity of some elements of theme and plot. If there are other students who have read the same book, they can be the judges -- is this sequel believable? Students can write a few pages, a short chapter, or a whole book.
4. Diary of a Character: What might Professor Snape (of Harry Potter) have written in his diary? Students can select a character and compose a few pages -- or many pages -- of a diary. For fans of Diary of a Wimpy Kid they can emulate that author's style and include illustrations. Such an assignment reveals a student's understanding of the character and the genre of the personal narrative.
5. A Monologue: What might a major or minor character want to say? How might they say it? Students can take this in many directions. Again, this is another way for a student to communicate how she understands a character, as well as to practice speaking skills.
6. The Talk Show: When several students read the same book, they can put on a talk show for the class with each student representing a different character. The "host" prepares a list of questions to ask each guest, pushing the student to develop higher level thinking questions such as "Can you explain why you...?" or "What regrets do you have about..." Again, as you (the teacher) listen, you can assess how well each student understood the book.
7. Letter to the Author: If a book really moved a student, he might be interested in writing a letter to the author. There might be more information he'd like ("Did any of this really happen to you?") or he might want to share his reflections and thoughts about the book. It's no uncommon for authors to respond -- and that's a thrilling experience for a kid. This kind of assignment helps you assess how a student connected with a book and responded to it.
8. Review for Peers: This could be done in writing (and posted online somewhere including Amazon.com) or it could be shared verbally with a class. This is a way for students to practice persuasive writing and to share their opinions.
9. A New Cover: Creating a different cover for the book is a great project for artistic students. They might use traditional mediums -- paper, markers, and so on, or those with the skills and resources could create one using digital tools. This assignment is really a persuasive one: we all judge books by their covers, so how can students communicate their thoughts and feelings about a book through an image?
10. A Reading Guide: At the end of some novels there are a set of questions that are designed for a book club to use in discussion. This is a challenging project, but one that some readers love because it allows them to direct the conversations of others. In order to formulate good questions, they are required to have a deep understanding of the book. This activity is also great if you have book clubs or literature circles as students can provide their peers with this guide.
This is by no means an exhaustive list of alternatives to book reports, but I hope it's spurred some thinking about how to get students to respond to books they read.

We had our students write a sequel to Sarah Plain and Tall in the form of a play. They wrote the script, learned their parts, developed a set, and put the play on for their peers in other reading groups. During a biography unit students got to dress up as their historical figure and were invited to a tea. At the tea they had to talk and act as their historical figure would have. They also wrote interviews with their figures. In both instances students were far more engaged than if they were solely writing summaries and reviews.

Park And Fly Hotels – Learn Everything About It!
July 25th, 2010 | Published in Park And Fly Hotels
Suppose you and three friends are jetting off together on a trip. Or it is time for a family vacation. Taking a home to airport shuttle van now costs about $50 for four people and that's just one way. A cab may be even worse unless you live fairly close to the airport. You could find a long term car parking lot but they are charging anywhere from $10-$12 per day here in San Francisco. Hence a 10 day trip will set you back about the same as the shuttle and in addition you have to wrestle with the bags and kids, all at 6 am. But what's the alternative, best Park And Fly Hotels ?
Think about staying overnight at an airport hotel, leaving your car during your trip, enjoying a nice continental breakfast and leaving on a shuttle bus that pulls right up front. You can find 10-14 day Park and Ride (aka Stay, Park and Fly, Park and Jet, etc) packages from $79 to $149, depending upon the quality of the hotel. You can also find 7 to 31 days packages as well if need be, so shop around for what suits you best.
The advantages to your psyche are numerous – you can sleep in later, you get something hot in your stomach before leaving (depending upon when you leave), you get a restful night of sleep, you travel leisurely in YOUR car to the hotel and back home after returning to the hotel. You can even just leave your car at the beginning of the trip and stay on the return (a reverse Park and Ride), a great alternative for when you arrive back late in the evening. If you live 150 miles or more away from the airport, Park And Fly Hotels packages are nothing short of a godsend.
There are a few pieces of advice I can offer you, all learned from years of experience handling park and flies. I GUARANTEE that you will not have thought of most of them.
Do not bring a car whose battery has been weak recently. Sitting for 7-14 days tends to drain batteries, not charge them. We get at least one party per month who have to call Triple A (or any tow company) upon their return due to a dead battery. Besides any out of pocket expense, no one likes to return home from hassling with flying and shuttles only to cool their heels in the hotel lobby for 45-60 minutes waiting for help.
Do not set your car alarm where a cough can set it off. People may bump the car or wind and rain may blow and if your alarm goes off unabated, the hotel will make every attempt to disconnect it AND may charge you for the nuisance it caused other guests. If they can't disconnect it, the battery will eventually drain and it's hello tow company again!
Always bring more than one set of car/house keys. We recently had a family of seven people with two cars that discovered one party had LOST their keys in Mexico and the spouse had decided not to bring theirs along. They had to get two rooms that night AND one had to drive the other 250 miles home the next day to get the extra set. This cost them over $250 PLUS gas, not to mention the inconvenience.
When you make reservations at the hotel, remember to give the hotel the correct day of arrival, which is one day before you fly. We have at least one party a month that made a reservation for the day they were flying because they were so focused on the trip dates and not the overnight stay dates. In busy times, the hotel may well be sold out by the time you arrive and find out the room was booked for the next day.
Lastly, think strongly about super cheap rates from some hotels. Anything much under $100 might be in a hotel that is not only run down, but the odds of something bad happening to your car increases because of the clientèle these hotels tend to attract. If it is TOO near the airport, it will also have planes roaring overhead all night, so check out the location before booking by reading reviews on the property.
Follow these pieces of advice and you will find staying overnight near the airport to be a pleasant alternative to hurrying out the door at 3 am for a draining two hour or more jaunt to the local airport parking lot.

Finishing a marathon may be the ultimate goal for some runners, but theres a nice half-way point -- the half-marathon -- thats far more attainable and steadily growing in popularity.
The half-marathon (tends to sell out) quicker than the full marathon, said Bob Busquaert, manager of Uticas Hansons Running Shop, which caters to runners needs and oversees many area races.
Its a very unique race, said Dr. Shariff K. Bishai, a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and medical director of medical director of McLaren Macombs Athletic Medicine Institute. Running in these marathons and half-marathons has gone up significantly in past years. Besides the health benefit, runners fall in love with the endorphin rush that running offers.
Its kind of addictive, added Bishai.
Tracey Moro sees steady evidence of the half-marathons popularity. Shes race coordinator for the Romeo 2 Richmond Half Marathon.
With the addition of the trail system in Macomb County and more trails being completed each year the popularity of getting out and getting healthy is improving. Having events like the Romeo 2 Richmond Half Marathon is a great way for the county to show off our Macomb Orchard Trail (where the Romeo2Richmond race is held). Weve noticed a definite increase in participation.
Its logical, after all. The half-marathon is a challenging 13.1-mile course, but its much more doable than a marathons 26.2 miles.
While a marathon may be twice the length of a half-marathon its six to eight times harder to run than a half, Busquaert said. Theres more wear and tear on the body, and recovery time is longer. In comparison, he adds, one could run a half-marathon and then run another one the next month. Training for a half-marathon is also, one step toward being able to complete a full marathon.
Half-marathons really started taking off three or four years ago, Busquaert said. More people are running, and while the marathon intrigues, its hard to fit the training in.
A training regimen is important, said Bishai. Prior to race day a runner may not run that much, maybe 8 miles a week, but they need to build up stamina.
The key is to prepare, and wisely. Hospitals and clinics have experts. Personal trainers can help. Hansons has training programs for novices and advanced runners and can help one find the right shoe. They also oversee race management to make it official with times and finishes.
Busquaert, besides being a part of Hansons team, is also a good resource for running expertise, since hes been doing it -- including marathons -- for many years. Ive made the mistakes. Running has been my thing since high school, he said.
Most anyone can run. Maybe not fast or far -- at first -- but they can run. Programs like the Couch Potato to 5K are great, Busquaert said. You start small and build up to a 5K (3.1 miles) and go up from there, to a 10K or even a half-marathon. Youre just not going to be ready to run that 13.1 miles in a few short weeks. Give it a few months, at least. More, if needed.
David Keenan, certified personal trainer and owner of Fitness Objective in Clinton Township, agrees that it takes regular effort. He works with all kinds of clients, from those who want to shed pounds to those who want to run longer distances. Shorter races like 5- and 10Ks, he agrees, are good starts. A 10K is a good gauge to see if training is on track.
Finishing those 13.1 miles, thats a huge accomplishment. A half-marathon is definitely something people celebrate, Keenan adds.

Here is the list of key free agents that we have.
TE Logan Paulsen. No brainer. Good quality blocker and pretty decent hands. Will handle a duo role with Fred Davis well. Have to resign. Should not cost all that much.
TE Fred Davis: Have to resign. Injury should keep price down a bit. Offense did miss Davis this season. Imagine how much more potent RGIII could have been with a healthy Davis.
G Kory Litchensteiger: Likely will be resigned. Loves Shanny and the zone blocking scheme. However, I would like to see Josh LeRibeus being given an equal chance to compete for the starting job.
OT Tyler Polumbus. Nothing more than depth. Polumbus should not start. Brown should be released. Redskins should make this a priority in free agency and the draft. Sign a free agent RT and draft depth. If we can grab a RT in second and third round while signing a starter in free agency, then do not resign Polumbus.
S Tenard Jackson. If the team is convinced he is done with the durg habit,t hen resign depth purposes.
Sav Rocca: Get younger. Move on.
LB Rob Jackson: Is an RFA which makes resigning him easier. Redskins need to figure out how to play both Jackson and Orakpo. Both should be on the field.
Nick Sundberg: Resign easily.
Lorenzo Alexander: RFA. Pay the boy and give him a long term deal. His ST play is worth it alone.
DE Kedric Golston: Resign. Solid depth and home grown.
S Madieu Willaims: Upgrade via free agency and draft. Let Williams go elsewhere.
FB Darrell Young: RFA. Sign. No brainer.

Gearman provides a generic application framework to farm out work to other machines or processes that are better suited to do the work. It allows you to do work in parallel, to load balance processing, and to call functions between languages. It can be used in a variety of applications, from high-availability web sites to the transport of database replication events. In other words, it is the nervous system for how distributed processing communicates. A few strong points about Gearman:
Content is being updated regularly, so please check back often. You may also want to check out other forms of communication if you would like to learn more or get involved!
A Gearman powered application consists of three parts: a client, a worker, and a job server. The client is responsible for creating a job to be run and sending it to a job server. The job server will find a suitable worker that can run the job and forwards the job on. The worker performs the work requested by the client and sends a response to the client through the job server. Gearman provides client and worker APIs that your applications call to talk with the Gearman job server (also known as gearmand) so you don't need to deal with networking or mapping of jobs. Internally, the gearman client and worker APIs communicate with the job server using TCP sockets. To explain how Gearman works in more detail, lets look at a simple application that will reverse the order of characters in a string. The example is given in PHP, although other APIs will look quite similar.
We start off by writing a client application that is responsible for sending off the job and waiting for the result so it can print it out. It does this by using the Gearman client API to send some data associated with a function name, in this case the function "reverse". The code for this is (with error handling omitted for brevity):
# Reverse Client Code $client= new GearmanClient(); $client->addServer(); print $client->do("reverse", "Hello World!");
This code initializes a client class, configures it to use a job server with add_server (no arguments means use 127.0.0.1 with the default port), and then tells the client API to run the "reverse" function with the workload "Hello world!". The function name and arguments are completely arbitrary as far as Gearman is concerned, so you could send any data structure that is appropriate for your application (text or binary). At this point the Gearman client API will package up the job into a Gearman protocol packet and send it to the job server to find an appropriate worker that can run the "reverse" function. Let's now look at the worker code:
# Reverse Worker Code $worker= new GearmanWorker(); $worker->addServer(); $worker->addFunction("reverse", "my_reverse_function"); while ($worker->work()); function my_reverse_function($job) { return strrev($job->workload()); }
This code defines a function "my_reverse_function" that takes a string and returns the reverse of that string. It is used by a worker object to register a function named "reverse" after it is setup to connect to the same local job server as the client. When the job server receives the job to be run, it looks at the list of workers who have registered the function name "reverse" and forwards the job on to one of the free workers. The Gearman worker API then takes this request, runs the function "my_reverse_function", and sends the result of that function back through the job server to the client.
As you can see, the client and worker APIs (along with the job server) deal with the job management and network communication so you can focus on the application parts. There a few different ways you can run jobs in Gearman, including background for asynchronous processing and prioritized jobs. See the documentation available for the various APIs for details.
The reverse example above seems like a lot of work to run a function, but there are a number of ways this can be useful. The simplest answer is that you can use Gearman as an interface between a client and a worker written in different languages. If you want your PHP web application to call a function written in C, you could use the PHP client API with the C worker API, and stick a job server in the middle. Of course, there are more efficient ways of doing this (like writing a PHP extension in C), but you may want a PHP client and a Python worker, or perhaps a MySQL client and a Perl worker. You can mix and match any of the supported language interfaces easily, you just need all applications to be able to understand the workload being sent. Is your favorite language not supported yet? Get involved with the project, it's probably fairly easy for either you or one of the existing Gearman developers to put a language wrapper on top of the C library.
The next way that Gearman can be useful is to put the worker code on a separate machine (or cluster of machines) that are better suited to do the work. Say your PHP web application wants to do image conversion, but this is too much processing to run it on the web server machines. You could instead ship the image off to a separate set of worker machines to do the conversion, this way the load does not impact the performance of your web server and other PHP scripts. By doing this, you also get a natural form of load balancing since the job server only sends new jobs to idle workers. If all the workers running on a given machine are busy, you don't need to worry about new jobs being sent there. This makes scale-out with multi-core servers quite simple: do you have 16 cores on a worker machine? Start up 16 instances of your worker (or perhaps more if they are not CPU bound). It is also seamless to add new machines to expand your worker pool, just boot them up, install the worker code, and have them connect to the existing job server.
Now you're probably asking what if the job server dies? You are able to run multiple job servers and have the clients and workers connect to the first available job server they are configured with. This way if one job server dies, clients and workers automatically fail over to another job server. You probably don't want to run too many job servers, but having two or three is a good idea for redundancy. The diagram to the left shows how a simple Gearman cluster may look.
From here, you can scale out your clients and workers as needed. The job servers can easily handle having hundreds of clients and workers connected at once. You can draw your own physical (or virtual) machine lines where capacity allows, potentially distributing load to any number of machines. For more details on specific uses and installations, see the section on use cases.

We were there for a wedding. The room was very clean and the staff was very nice. I have no complaints. Good location too. Only complaint would be that the hot water was too hot. Nice coffee and free water bottles in room.

BOISE, Idaho � Colorado State is coming off its best win of the year, a blowout victory over UNLV that has given first-year coach Jim McElwain the chance to preach the importance of building on success.
The Rams, powered by 24 first-half points and a flurry of turnovers, rolled over the Rebels 33-11 in Fort Collins last Saturday.
McElwain said the challenge facing his young team now is avoiding the so-called �one-hit wonder� tag.
The Rams� goal of posting back-to-back wins faces a tough test in today�s matchup with Boise State.
The Broncos (8-2, 5-1 Mountain West) are in a tie for first in the conference and are playing their last game at home this season.
Colorado State (3-7, 2-4) will be making its first trip to Bronco Stadium.

Denver has earned a reputation as a cultural capital in recent years, as it contributes more public funding per capita for the arts than any other city in the U.S. And, it turns out it's pretty reasonable to live amidst all that public art: the city's housing affordability ranks about average among other major cities. Still, you want only above-average Home Theater Sales, Installation & Repairhome professionals working at your house, so that every home improvement project comes out looking like a masterpiece!
If you need a home services professional, it can be tempting to simply open your phone book and pick the contractor with the largest, most eye-catching display ad. But don't do it! In about the same amount of time, we can help you find a pre-screened professional in Denver, CO with the proper license, insurance, and experience to do the job right, for a fair price.

Having grown up in the US, I have no connection to this character. That said, I am in full support of him being made for those who want him.
ive always said i want he-mans armour in purple and skeletors armour in grey/silver to make the mirror universe keldor(ie he-kel) and adam overlord of evil (preternia he-man head on adam body with grey/silver skeletor armour), think jla earth 2 or even brave and the bold owlman episodes!

I grew up in Germany and I"m not into this type of repaint...
Although it would be nice for german fans because the audio plays were as big for us as the cartoon was for US-fans, I'm not a fan of bizarre parallel worlds...

I agree.
As much as I love the audio plays, after years of seeing countless Anti He-Man customs, I'm not really interested in a figure of him anymore. It IS just He-Man in black with red hair, after all. I'd much rather want other audio play characters like Goras, Ofta, Reigam oder Satma. BUT "Anti-Eternia" is extremely popular among German fans, so I'd be glad for them if they got Anti He-Man. In times where a DC author can get a totally new character done as a figure, it would be nice to see our audio plays getting the attention they deserve.
"Why's Dragstor riding on Night Stalker?" "Cause he can."
i figure just buy an extra he-man & paint him those colors as a custom.
dont wast a spot for some other figure.
I'd like to see Anti He-Man!
Uncle Montork has returned from Trolla!
i support all of these characters from the alternate dimensions.
I could and prolly will repaint some of them myself eventually, but to me it's still not going to be the same as one stamped official.
To be honest, I'd like to see Matty try out 2-packs at some time...so that it does not take away from the subscription.
If they'd aim for quarterly releases with something like anti-he-man vs anti-skeletor, mvc faker w/steed, the alternate man@arms w/ teela or buzz-off...possibly throw in a few characters like the mini-comic beastman or mini-comic trapjaw vs mini-comic teela and I'd be sold.
heck, I wouldn't even need a bio or packaging as long as the figures were fine, they could just throw them in baggies like they did the 200x german keldor.

I would love to see Anti He-Man, but NOT as a straight repaint. As Eterniadreams already wrote the audioplay only says Anti-Eternia He-Man has red hair, black skin and looks like He-man, so there should be room for changes - at least a different meaner-looking head would be necessary and maybe a battle torn armor.
He is described as Lord of Castle Hellskull at one point, therefore something like a cape showing this position could be a nice touch.
I'm in! and for the rest of the Anti-Eternia crew as well..
Maybe Anti-He-Man would have the Skeletor armor for a Anti-He-Man variant

It's a very cool drawing man!!!
Well, since my custom (along with Master English's) is shown in the first post... Of course I support him!
The Anti-Eternia would make a great subset... Something like the sets available for G.I.Joe and Transformers at their respective conventions.

text: Has there ever been such a negative reaction to the results of a presidential election in modern American history? Yes, those that supported Barack Obama are celebrating greatly right now, but the other half of the country is really freaking out. Over the past 48 hours there has been a very powerful outpouring of emotion that has included a strange mix of mourning, anguish, frustration, grief, despair, panic and fear. Yes, the more conservative half of the country was disappointed after Bill Clinton's two victories, and they were certainly not pleased with what happened in 2008, but those were viewed as temporary setbacks. What happened on Tuesday night is being viewed as something else entirely. Shocked conservatives are describing the election results as "catastrophic" and many believe that there is no hope that America will ever be turned around again. The reality that we are about to go through another four years of Barack Obama in the White House is starting to set in, and this is shaking a lot of people to the core. If you are conservative, you will likely find many of the quotes below to be (Read More....)

I've heard lots of good rumours about this programme, but haven't actually read anything about it, didn't want to get spoiled if I decided to watch it.
RTE showed the pilot (2 episodes) back to back last Monday, and there wasn't much else on so I figured I may as well watch it. So far it is okay, I'm not sure why there has been so much raving about how great it is. Then again, I can't really judge after only one episode.

I love this messy newfangled version of the beehive. If my hair was a wee bit longer and I was not such a klutz with the bobbypins I would totally give this hair DIY a shot.
5 comments:
Love this! This is similar to how my hair was done for my wedding. It was nice and tall for the practice run-through with a tiara set right in front of the hive. But on the actual day, my (wonderful) stylist wasn't quite able to make it so tall and hivey. Oh well, it was the least of my concerns on my wedding day! Just thought I'd share that.
(So now you can grow your hair out and get a hive do!)

animate element during scroll - pleaaase help!
Hey Guys - been racking my brains for the last day or so trying to get this to work. im pretty new to jquery so forgive me if this is really simple.
i want to be able to set the opacity of an element to 1 during scrolling, and for it to set back to 0.5 when the user stops scrolling.
is this possible?
heres what ive got so far - for give me if its completely wrong -
.sidetiggeriphone {opacity:0.5}
$(document).ready(function() { $(window).scroll(function () { $('.sidetiggeriphone').animate({ opacity: '1' }); }); });
It's almost there. You just need to figure out a callback for when the user has stopped scrolling.
This isnt the answer but this may help you.
Resource: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9144560/jquery-scroll-detect-when-user-stops-scrolling
I'm not sure if you're looking for the answer or hints.... so forgive me lol!
$(window).scroll($.debounce( 250, true, function(){ $('.sidetiggeriphone').animate({ opacity: '1' }); } ) ); $(window).scroll($.debounce( 250, function(){ $('.sidetiggeriphone').animate({ opacity: '0.5' }); } ) );

Are You Ready For China's Outsourcing Market?

Dear Forrester Community,
I would like to take couple of minutes to introduce myself and the research topics I'm working on. I came to Forrester through the acquisition of Springboard Research and specialize in helping Vendor Strategy Professionals understand trends in IT services and outsourcing in Greater China.
With my latest research paper, "Driving Outsourcing Success In China," I want to help vendors raise awareness on the Chinese outsourcing market, which will grow at 17% CAGR over the next five years. Nonetheless, entering this lucrative market will pose several challenges for international newcomers. In my research, vendor strategists will find insights about:
- Growth opportunities.
- Introduction to the market dynamics with drivers and inhibitors.
- Possible go-to-market approaches for outside vendors entering into China's IT services market.
I'd love to hear from you. Feel free to share your own experiences and ideas with me. Are there other questions that you would like me to address in my upcoming research?

I've got myself some rust issue that's driving me nuts lately. It's gone from barely noticeable to this in a couple of months.
The bottom of the car is nothing but rust. But I mostly just see this spot on both sides of the car, which is a somewhat common issue with older cars, especially mazdas, but especially mazda protege5.
I took it in for a quote today, and the paint job was estimated at about 7k and I'm not willing to pay 1/4 of it...
My plan was to sand it and do as much of prep as I can, and get someone that has a good paint gun and knows how to use it to do the rest.
Is there a way I can fix + paint the body rust for under $1000?

"But, vendors, make it affordable, please."
The local retailers sell beer at a small mark-up, which is fairly reasonable compared to the distribution mark-up. The local guys also carry more varieties of local and general craft beer, which is something Sunoco will never have.
"Our local beer breweries have not done that yet. So why go to the brewery, and then pay the same as at a grocery store?"
This is not a fault of the brewery. You need to research state law.
(5) the brewery must sell the beer at the licensed premises at a price approximating retail prices generally charged for identical beverages in the county where the licensed premises are located; and
The breweries would love to sell at a discounted rate, but are required to match retail prices. You can thank the large distributors for lobbying in a way to get that in the books. Anyways, the HB 4572 was a game changer for breweries in the state and very beneficial to the craft beer market.
"I just hope those distilleries on King have better success rate than all the micro breweries we had downtown many years ago. Not many have survived."
Huh? Palmetto Brewery is in the peninsula (in the ghettoish part) and has been thriving since 1993. Southend, despite the fact that their beer isn't a favorite of craft beer lovers, has been pumping out brew for well over a decade. Are you talking about T-Bonez brewpub thing? Most would agree that if you don't make good beer, it will be hard to survive as a brewery. In the ever growing craft beer market, there is plenty of room for more brewpubs in this area. I have no doubt they will survive if the product is good. Just like these distilleries.
Can't wait for this piece of shit to come down.
I talked to an employee at a local Sunoco, and he said each station now has a "beer supervisor" who's main job is to keep the growler stations full and fresh. He gets a few more bucks to be trained and in charge, and takes the responsibilities away from other managers. This will make for consistency in quality and, as you said, sanitizing of growler bottles which can grow some unique cultures when left out in the sun. In any case, buy local and support locals whenever possible. But, vendors, make it affordable, please.
"Sunoco and their Craft Brew stations"
Or you could support local businesses that sell these same beers in growler and bottle form. The local guys also do a better job of sanitizing your bottles and keeping their beer lines clean. Just a tip if you prefer buying local and getting better quality.
"Regulation and censorship are two entirely different concepts."
Is censorship not a way to regulate the things that we watch?
Control or supervise (something, esp. a company or business activity) by means of rules and regulations
Within censorship lies rules the broadcasters must adhere to. The reason the rules are there is to regulate content broadcasted. Maybe we are just off subject at this point.
Any bar owner who tries to have his bouncers do anything but cursory monitoring of the sidewalk is asking for a law suit. Sorry, but we need cops with authority to make obnoxious drunks (redundant ) move on. Simply publish pictures of those who do make a scene, and post it outside the bar on the "do not return" list.
If they are able to sell stuff directly from the distillery, then I hope they pass on the savings of having to go through a middle man to the customer. Our local beer breweries have not done that yet. So why go to the brewery, and then pay the same as at a grocery store? Locals who bother to travel to a local maker should receive some sort of reward. I just hope those distilleries on King have better success rate than all the micro breweries we had downtown many years ago. Not many have survived.
The Beach Co. is in business to make a profit. Good for them. But allowing any sort of zoning that would allow them to make changes in that area, without knowing exactly what they would replace it with, is stupid. They are not concerned about who they force to move out and find affordable rent somewhere else (not downtown). I can guarantee any apartment they rent will be almost double what they pay now. Sure, a small percentage will be for those with limited income, but the majority will be out of towners who are looking for a fancy view and in close proximity to the city. Forget most students, nurses, etc... that work nearby. They will have to go up the peninsula to find housing. More cars...lots of cars....for the limited parking we have in that area. Look at the neck for future housing.
As a Texan I believe that if you cannot smoke a brisket, then you cannot BBQ. Texans believe that it shouldn't matter if the ribs have sauce on them or not. The meat should speak for it's self.
Gosh, you guys have got it all wrong.

Do they have a Charleston Festival in Italy? Cause if not, I am going to boycott Spoleto until they do..
X--tortion...it's everywhere. http://www.landofthisguy.com/?comic=projec…
We were at the Beer Garden. Nice that the sun was not out, as heat and beer do not mix well after a few hours. I found the selections varied, all cold, and we did manage to try 6-7 different brews without becoming comatose. I hope it returns next year. What a great advertising event for Sunoco and their Craft Brew stations. Bet they notice an increase in sales after this event. By the way, if you only want to "try" a certain brew at Sunoco, they usually have the growler varieties in a bottle. Not quite as good as a draft, but gives you a chance to wander through brew forests and try different brands and styles. I know my draft puller's name, now, at my local Sunoco.
The article says "the structure has to be at least 25 feet tall but no less than 50 feet tall"
Do you mean 'at least 25 feet tall but no MORE than 50 feet tall?'
"...undermine the sense of solidarity..."
Libertarians do not believe in solidarity.
Building out instead of up is an absolute waste of an incredible opportunity. The way to prevent a city like Charleston from feeling more crowded is not sprawling, flatter buildings! Building up allows both residential volume AND use of the surrounding land, such as the nearby baseball field, playground, tennis courts, or even the simply open field adjacent to Lockwood/Broad, which gives the area a more spacious feeling. Not to mention, balcony views of Charleston and the water are incredible, but are sadly few and far between. Charleston's vibrant crowd of young professionals tend not to be millionaires (yet?), and as a student, I can attest to how difficult it is to find an apartment in a safe area, close to campus, with washer/dryer and dishwasher, and for less than $1,000/month per bedroom. A high rise is the only way to achieve such value; otherwise, it will be unaffordable, have a waiting list, or both (Bee Street Lofts). Ashley House is the only other high rise in the immediate area, and while many would consider it outdated (most units do not have W/D & DW), it remains 100 years more modern than the vast majority of other options its area. It blows my mind that it sounds like they've essentially ruled out the concept of building a tall, beautiful, modern, energy-efficient, building to replace an aging one - all in the name of flattening the skyline over affording a positive, attainable experience for the everyday residents who make this city so great. For the "mix of college students, MUSC nurses and interns, young urban professionals, and retirees" you mentioned who currently live there, a flatter development means more of those people would be forced to live elsewhere, which also notably could mean more cars on the road - especially for the first 3 on that list who currently are able to bike/walk to work/class on the peninsula if they move out to West Ashley, James Island, or Mount Pleasant - and I think we can all agree we'd rather have less of that. Efficient use of the land should be a priority - the building can be designed to enhance Charleston's beauty, no matter how tall it is.
It's the old "give us Barabbas" (GUB) syndrome..
I'm thinking Hells Agents and the Black Panthers..
Why do some people assume that being crude equates to being funny? Seems this act is all about getting attention.

Man Gets 1-2 Years After Plea Agreement in Baldwin Rape Case
Jamal Tompkins was charged with raping a mentally disabled girl, but he pleaded guilty only to sexual assault and corruption of minors.
The man whom Baldwin Borough police officers tracked down in Erie, PA, over a year ago on charges that he raped a mentally disabled girl in south Baldwin in September 2010 has been sentenced to approximately 1-2 years of confinement for sexual assault and corruption of minors. Jamal Tompkins pleaded guilty to those charges in front of Allegheny County Court of Common Pleas Judge Donna Jo McDaniel on Dec. 10 before McDaniel withdrew nine other charges and issued the sentence. McDaniel also sentenced Tompkins to five years of probation and lifetime registration as a sex offender. The nine withdrawn charges were rape-forcible compulsion, rape of a mentally disabled person, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse-forcible compulsion, …

New Era Unveils New Major League Baseball Hat Line For Spring Training
New alternate hats for all 30 MLB clubs
New Era has unveiled the new line of hats that will be worn by all 30 Major League Baseball clubs throughout Spring Training and batting practice during the regular season.
The Diamond Era 59FIFTY Cap Collection will feature different logos and/or color combinations for each team and are made from an advanced moisture-wicking technology for increased breathability.
The collection will be available for purchase on MLB.com and at Spring Training sites on Feb. 22.
im really offended by the reds and mets hats. big white heads in a baseball uni is mean spirited.
@cthebuz I'm fairly certain you missed the point that the heads are baseballs. Do you suggest we start playing with black baseballs instead?

Using only earth- and kid-safe materials such as birchwood, raw linseed oil, and milk paints, the creators of Friendly Toys are concerned with the health of your child as well as the health of the environment. From whimsical little airplanes, to wooden families, to fish teethers, these little toys will delight kids and adults alike.
(Images: Friendly Toys)
Store History
- Founded: 2011
- Headquarters: Vilnius, Lithuania
The idea of making toys was not planned. After our daughter was born we started looking for safe, natural and beautiful toys. Unfortunately, these qualities could not be found in commercial toys. Frankly speaking, our toy-making story began with the idea "but we could make it better…" and step by step we started creating our own wooden toy story. The first time we showed our wooden creations to the world was at a traditional craft fair. Happily we had a great success there and we decided to continue. We opened the Friendly Toys shop approximately six months after our debut.

Fun Freebies In NC
Looking for something fun to do on your next trip without spending a fortune? Here are a dozen free ideas from the mountains to the coast – including music, dancing, festivals and one-of-a-kind events.
- Reed Gold Mine
Midland (approximately 25 miles east of Charlotte)
Reed Gold Mine is the site of the first documented gold find in the nation. Wander through exhibits on gold, mining technology and original equipment. Numerous locations feature historic mining machinery, and an area on Upper Hill has the chimney and restored foundations of the 1854 mill house. Panning for gold costs extra, but the mine and exhibits are free. - USCG Cutter Diligence
From a boat rescue to the perfect storm, the Coast Guard is always on. Tour the USCG Cutter Diligence in Wilmington, one of only eight US Coast Guard cities in the country. It's also important to note that the USCG Cutter Diligence offers free tours daily on days they are in port. The nature of the US Coast Guard makes it impossible to know in advance when they are in port; however, the ship is typically in port more often than it is at sea. - Sliding Rock
Heat getting to you? Come slip down this renowned 60-foot sloping slide into an eight-foot deep mountain pool near Brevard. Lifeguards supervise the fun during the summer, so bring the family. Enjoy 11,000 gallons of water flowing down over the rock face each minute, and it's just a few strokes to shore. While it's not quite free, it's just $1.00 per person to enter the recreation area. - Whippoorwill Academy and Village
Ferguson (about 15 miles west of Wilkesboro)
Whippoorwill Academy and Village is a village of restored log cabins, including a one-room schoolhouse, known as Whippoorwill Academy, built in 1880. North Carolina's Poet Laureate, Larkin Pearson, attended this one-room school. The Academy includes the Tom Dula (Dooley, of folk song fame) Museum for those interested in what happened to Laura Foster. The village also features the Smokehouse Art Museum, a blacksmith shop, weaver's shop, country store and the Chapel of Peace. - American Classic Motorcycle Museum
This museum boasts one of the largest private collections of Harley-Davidson motorcycles in the country. It's a unique piece of American heritage whether you own a bike or not. Included is a 1936 OHV Knucklehead, the first overhead design by Harley-Davidson and one of only three known to exist. The museum owner and curator also teaches a Harley-Davidson restoration class for interested visitors. It also features original artwork by the owner, a parts and apparel retail store and an attached Harley-Davidson themed Heritage Diner. Admission to this museum is free. - Film sites from Dirty Dancing
Lake Lure
You saw the movie. Maybe you "saw yourself" in the movie. Now you can take a self-guided tour of some of the most iconic scenes in Dirty Dancing.
The Esmeralda Inn: Houses the original Dirty Dancing dance floor in their lobby.
Rumbling Bald Resort: Home to the 16th Hole where Baby asks her father for money.
Firefly Cove Development: The original location for some of the most famous Dirty Dancing scenes such as "the lift" practice, the white bridge where Baby practiced her dance moves and the rock steps that Baby dances up. - Create-Your-Own Art Tours
Various locations
A DIY art tour can turn into an adventure – plus it costs you nothing to look. HomegrownHandmade Art Roads and Farm Trails let you create your own free driving tour of authentic folk artisans, handicrafts, farmers and creative entrepreneurs rooted in our North Carolina's rural countryside.
Or how about looking into the artistry of traditional and not-so-traditional patterns on a Barn Quilt Tour? Free tours, each featuring between 30-100 quilts, can be found in three western North Carolina counties: Avery, Watauga and Ashe.
Or, turn an afternoon walk through the Queen City into a glimpse of interactive, neo- and urban expressions on a self-guided Charlotte Public Art Tour. - Shindig on the Green
Starting in July, Asheville's Shindig On The Green goes into high gear as crowds with lawn chairs and blankets gather on summer Saturday evenings to enjoy Appalachian mountain music and dance traditions. The free event takes place Saturday evenings July–September. - Corolla Wild Horse Museum
The Corolla Wild Horse Museum offers kids the chance to pet a horse and paint one, too. Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer, The Corolla Wild Horse Fund sponsors horse painting. Kids choose from large cutout horses attached to trees that stay up all week for passersby to admire or horse cutouts that they can take with them. A $5 donation is accepted for large horses, $3 donation for the small ones. All proceeds benefit the wild horses. On Wednesdays, children can pet live Colonial Spanish Mustangs. Admission to this museum is free. - The Mast General Store
Valle Crucis
Midday rush? Not in Valle Crucis. The Mast General Store has music on the back porch each Saturday and Sunday from noon until 2 pm at the Original Store in Valle Crucis. Sometimes groups start a little earlier; sometimes they play a little later. Musical selections include bluegrass, old-time, Celtic and Appalachian performed by local talent. On occasion, cloggers, flat footers and shufflers come along to dance a bit. - Litle Herb House
The Little Herb House is literally another world – a 10,000-square foot herb farm and gardens that is open to the public by appointment. Take the self-guided tour at no cost, or purchase an information-packed guided tour for $10. The Little Herb House has been featured in Our State and Country Gardens. - 12th Annual East Coast Drag Times Hall of Fame
This one you have to see to believe. It's literally a trip back in time to the Golden Age of the American Automobile. A reunion of drag race legends, antique and classic cars and the people who love them. As well as a trip down memory lane and parking at the drive-in. Join in the fun on Oct. 18-20, 2013 in historic downtown Henderson with live entertainment, dancing, cruising, bench racing, scrapbook viewing and general dreaming of the way things were.

Thunderstorm clusters roaming the Plains states Saturday evening have re-activated a dormant severe weather season, spawning at least a half dozen tornadoes across Kansas and Nebraska. Storms may reach the Chicago area as early as Sunday night. Southerly winds will bring a surge in dew point temperature. Dew points in the 60s possess sufficient moisture to support severe thunderstorms. These readings are forecast to approach muggy, 70-degree levels on Monday. Along with elevated moisture levels, temperatures are forecast to reach the mid and upper 80s. These conditions, combined with strong winds aloft may bring the area its first organized
severe weather episode. The Storm Prediction Center suggests there is a slight risk of severe thunderstorms across the Chicago on Monday.

The $4.3 billion portfolio expands to include seeding and an equity stake in a high-profile hedge fund
By Ann C. Logue
In terms of contributions, actuarial status, and benefits, Texas Teachers looks like almost every other government pension plan. But look deeper, and it's clear that it is not. Texas Teachers has a unique structure designed to reduce costs and give the managers control of and transparency in the portfolio. Money managers are asked for transparency and to consider co-investment options. As much as possible, the investment approach for the pension is that of a fund of funds, and Texas...

Weekend Link-Tastic
I have a bunch of goodies for you this weekend, kiddos, so I'll just jump right in...
This was the most moving and memorable post I read on any blog this week.
This was right up there with it.
I am a total book nerd. Hence, I want all of these.
Very pregnant and considering induction? Interesting evidence that it is the fetal lungs themselves which provide the signal to initiate labor.
Pretty maps.
This guy's plan to get his lost camera back is genius!
An amazing list of companies that welcome babies in the workplace.
Pianos are popping up all over NYC!
What your baby is really trying to tell you.
What was your favorite link of the week? Hope you're having a wonderful weekend! XOXO, Leigh

I love the touching links. I've always wanted to adopt a child. I have this deep belief that there's a part of me, a part of my family, one of my babies that will not be born out of my body. I just know it. So that link really spoke to me.
I also love the things no one told you. Just great.
