It's not a new problem, but it's a big problem. Business owners on the downtown mall say panhandling is out of control.
"We have people that panhandle as an occupation and that's an issue," said Joan Fenton, owner of J. Fenton Gifts on the downtown mall.
Charlottesville City Council is in the process of implementing some new programs to help deal with the homeless population on the downtown mall. Four community representatives will be in place for the holiday shopping season and then again in the warmer spring and summer months to greet visitors to the downtown mall. They will also serve as "additional sets of eyes and ears for police," according to council members. The pilot program will cost the city $80,000.
Another $50,000 to $60,000 is being proposed for a new position, "Street Outreach Coordinator". "It would be somebody who would work with the ambassadors and police to interact with some of the folks who we see on the downtown mall and parks who may need to know more about the services available to help them find housing or some other services that would help them find a job," said Charlottesville City Council member Dede Smith.
But some business owners say a bigger police presence should be the priority. Joan Fenton has owned J. Fenton Gifts on the downtown mall for 12 years and says the police kiosks have been the most helpful in preventing problems.
"There are some people dealing drugs and the increased police presence has helped that tremendously but it needs to be vigilant," Fenton said. "Because as soon as they go away problems arise again."
City council is also considering new ordinances to further regulate the panhandling, but Smith said protecting civil rights is a priority to council members. "It's critical to city council that we be cognizant that we wall appreciate and absolutely expect our civil rights to be preserved and we need that to be true for everybody," Smith said.
But business owners are more concerned with making sure people continue to visit the downtown mall. "This is the social hub and economic hub of the city," said Fenton. "It's exciting, it's vibrant, it's fabulous and the city has to protect it."
The issue is on city council's agenda for the next meeting scheduled for November 19.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) - An Alabama House committee has approved legislation that would allow the construction of a large hotel and conference center on the beach at Gulf State Park in Gulf Shores.
The House Economic Development and Tourism Committee voted 13-2 for the bill. It would permit a private developer to work with the state in building a hotel with more than 300 rooms and a conference center that would seat more than 1,000 for a meal. The official who oversees state parks, Conservation Commissioner Gunter Guy, says he envisions a facility similar to the Marriott convention hotels that the Retirement Systems of Alabama has built.
Opponents, including a privately operated convention hotel in Orange Beach, say the state is abandoning the idea that state park lodging should be affordable to average Alabamians.

3D Artists GroupArts & Literature group with 1,162 members, open to all members
Are you a 3D artist? Are you looking for some inspiration? Do you just want to collaborate or know who your fellow ModDB artists are? Doesn't matter what...
Ahoy. The name is Mikom. I do 3D modeling, rendering and just general design. I'm a person who over past few years has taken a great interest in formulating ideas in 3D space. Ideas are my trade in many ways yet I also lean towards the practical. I have worked on several mods and game projects though modeling for games is not my first area of expertise. Here on ModDB/IndieDB I keep an eye on the Humor Satire Parody group, I follow the modding community and watch game productions that have peaked my interest. Feel free to go through my blogs or image gallery if you want to get a glimpse of what I do. As always, have a nice day!

During the winter sale on Steam, a friend of mine bought me DayZ (quite a generous move considering it wasn't even on sale). My net-speed had been capped at the time but with the shift of the month and indeed the new year (happy new year by the way) I got a chance to download the new and improved DayZ experience.
I'll explain my thoughts and ideas about the current state of the game as well as my experience with the buddy who bought me the game.
DayZ has come a long way since I first launched the mod. I still remember my first experience in the game. It was probably better than most and I was very optimistic.
I had gotten some decent loot, plenty of food, an AK-47 with ammo and had managed to avoid all zombies thus far. Things changed when I ran into another player. He said he was friendly, he asked for directions and as I pointed North I turned my back on him. The last thing I remember hearing was a gun-shot like noise as his axe impacted with my back.
That is the harsh reality of DayZ. Bandits are common and you should trust no one. Play with friends if you want to trust someone.
The Stand-Alone release of DayZ. Let's start by saying that it's still and alpha. Many aspects will and should be changed. The current performance of the game is poor, acceptable if you have played the mod but poor by any other standard.
Gameplay is functional though feedback from how your character experiences and interacts with the world is still limited.
On my first run in the stand-alone I was all on my own and spawned in Novy Sobor. I headed towards the airfield and got some decent loot. I crammed by backpack full and set off to new adventures.
Unfortunately my character died of starvation before an hour had even passed. This was not the mod where you could carry as much loot as your backpack can carry and still run for kilometers without eating or resting.
My second run started pretty much exactly the same way. I once again spawned in Novy Sobor and headed up to the airfield. That's where things went differently though. At the airfield, many things had gone down since I had been there thirty minutes ago. I found a dead survivor, completely kitted out with guns and magazines. All his magazines were empty though and he had clearly been looted by whoever killed him.
I picked up most of his gear but was more selective this time about what I could carry. Luck had it though that the moment I went into the ATC, I found an entire box full of ammo, ammo compatible with my M4A1 and magazines. Upon loading the gun with ammo I set out feeling confident and quite lucky.
The very next day I met up with Roaches in Gorka, the friend who bought me the game. This is our story. Me and my friend Roaches had been teaming up surviving for three days in a row now. We had been looting smaller villages and towns further in-land. After a successful run through Berezino (a town by the coast) we decided to keep heading south along the coastal line.
It was mainly an uneventful trip, Roaches and I were both decently kitted out. He had a good stockpile of food and a pistol. I had my previously mentioned M4A1 assault rifle.
We found a bleeding man along the way sitting in the middle of the road. Though I kept my weapon fixed on him all the time we decided to help him out and Roaches gave him some bandages.
The man did not pick it up and after a short while we decided to leave him to his fate.
We continued south, it was mid day and the sun was glaring in our eyes as we headed further up-hill.
When we arrived at the small village of Kamyshovo, we discovered a dead body lying in a house, stripped of all possessions. As I looked outside I only just observed another person disappearing among the houses. I pointed out to Roaches we had better be careful. We searched two houses at the edge of the village with me keeping a watchful eye towards the coast then decided to leave the rest of the town alone.
We proceeded further along the coast, towards the town nicknamed "Elektro". I expected there would be players there so we stayed away from the main road leading into the town. Instead we took another way, around the "Elektro-hill" and down past the fire-station.
Looking through all the houses we could find no sign of proper loot. It was clear we weren't going to find anything in the outskirts.
As we headed further into the town I heard some shots. Then we heard them again. I rounded a house cautiously and immediately saw the body of a dead player in the middle of the road. We went into an apartment building, both completely on edge, sharpening our nerves of steel.
Upon exiting the building we heard another couple of shots. In a move of foolishness or call it bravery, I set out towards the place where I thought I had heard the sound. Roaches followed behind me.
I could not quite pin-point where the shots where coming from but then I got a brief glimpse of the gunman. He had a white clown-mask on and an assault rifle. He had the high-ground but I had the drop on him. I instinctively raised my gun and fired a suppressive burst. He ran. I pointed Roaches in the direction of where he had been.
Instead of running after him, which meant going down the hill and losing the high-ground I had won by my initial burst, I decided the best move would be to flank around going further up and around the hill.
Roaches and I searched the hill but could not find him. Upon coming back though from the far end of the shrubbery I spotted the gunman atop the hill, ready to fire. I alerted Roaches to his presence as I fired another burst towards his chest. He opened fire as well and bullets were flying past my ears as I ducked left towards some bushes. In a desperate move I turned around and fired my gun at full auto, I could hear Roaches firing his pistol, the gunman fell.
Miraculously I had not been hit a single time and neither had Roaches.
This was the time to get some gear. I told Roaches to loot the body, to take all he could carry while we still could. I nervously danced around, looking right, looking left. Guarding the loot. Another survivor appeared, he had a red motorcycle helmet and appeared armed though had not readied his fire-arm. He was cautiously approaching us, I raised my weapon and took aim. I told him to back off. He said he would do so but sounded untrustworthy. As Roaches finished looting the corpse of the bandit we had shot earlier, I went back to take a look myself.
Roaches took watch. The bandit had a ton of ammunition, some food and plenty of other good loot. I took what I could. At that point Roaches pointed out the guy in the motorcycle helmet was back. He did the same thing I did, told him to back away. This time he didn't seem very convinced though and instead of backing away he slowly started moving towards us. Roaches told me to stop looting, worried the motor-cycle helmet man may attack. I concurred and suggested we hide the body and leave.
We went back up the hill, we had seen enough of Elektro. But on the road leading out of the town bullets started hitting the ground at our feet, we were once again under fire! Luckily this gunman was not very accurate either and we broke into a sprint along the road. Then I saw him running among the trees, the man with the motor-cycle helmet. Knowing it was him who had fired the shots I raised my gun and in a single burst shot him dead, he fell to the ground.
Once again the looting game began. As Roaches sat exposed looting the corpse I nervously kept watch. I did not bother looting this person myself and Roaches and I moved off. Elektro was not a hospitable place.
Unfortunately at this point our luck ran out. Another bandit was hiding in the bushes and shot my friend right in the gut at point blank range. Roaches bravely fought him off and killed him where he was lying on the ground. Then Roaches fell. I was not sure if he was alive or dead. Was he breathing? He was unconscious. I bandaged his wounds knowing it would be practically impossible for him to recover from his wounds. As he collapsed before me, I ran off, scouting the area for more bandits, this was not a great place to be incapacitated in, on the Elektro hill by the side of the road. Then he spoke to me.
He had suffered great a loss of blood and his vision was blurred. I headed back but heard gunshots. My friend not being in a state to realize what had happened, had been gunned down by two ruthless bandits. As I approached my friends corpse, I saw one of the bandits running away among the trees.
What would I do now? I had lost my friend, my companion. The two bandits who killed him were still around, I could go after them. But I decided against it, revenge would have to wait. There is only so much one man can do so I turned around and ran, I ran as fast as I could away from Elektro and the Elektro hill. I ran away from the bandits, the loot and away from Roaches' dead body.
That is how the DayZ standalone is. Currently it is a mess of banditry, beginners and lag.
Would I recommend you buy the game? Not as such no, though if you're a long-time DayZ player you may enjoy the simplicity of the current state of the game. It goes back to the early days of the mod and maybe it will make you feel somewhat nostalgic.
That's it for this blog. I may post some more DayZ stories at another time. Have a nice day!

Listen to this while reading, hopefully some of you will get the reference:
Are you a 3D artist? Are you looking for some inspiration? Do you just want to collaborate or know who your fellow ModDB artists are? Doesn't matter what...
Almost everyone heard of Asterix & Obelix so this group is for their fans!!
This is a group where people create and upload banners for all to see and use on ModDB. Pretty much as simple as that.
Do you like Battlestar Galactica? Join the rest in the BSG Fan Group! That is the best way to tribute one of the best Sci-Fi series in the world.
Thanks for visiting the Desura Contest Group. Our goal is to promote video games on Desura with you in mind helping us do it.
The purpose of this group is to schedule DayZ gameplay events, which will make it much easier to get ahead in DayZ. Eventually, through teamwork and determination...
Desura is a community driven digital distribution service for gamers, putting the best games, mods and downloadable content from developers at gamers...
News is a big thing for gaming and so far we have only dabbled into the blogging news field, up until now that is. Welcome to the Editor's Notes, updated...
It is often not clear, if you made the concept + model or just the render. Sometimes it is, but the Nato choppers, e.g. I thought you made. First thing to do is give credit to the creators, like you did with Bionicle.
Well the NATO Frigate Helicopter (NFH) is called just that in real life. Granted you can't be expected to know every helicopter designation there is but I think that's kind of beside the point.
Stating that it was a design made by engineers per request from NATO seems a bit redundant since that's clearly already in the name.
So you did model it, after all? I never though about this problem, before seeing your stuff. I simply cannot determine which part of something is your own work. That's a difficulty with modding, I suppose. So, in the sense of the word, you are far more a modder than I am, because everything I create is my own.
However, especially in your case it would be nice to know where the core material you use comes from and what the part you did looks like (e.g. the texture you made - flat, the model you made - in editor, etc.). I suppose you are kidding in your reply, btw. That's obviously not what I meant...
Yes, I made the model (and the textures). If you see a 3D model on my profile then it's usually mine.
If it looks like a screenshot from a game, then it's a screenshot from a game I took but I most likely didn't make the models in the screenshot, obviously.
This isn't my official website, here I feel I can post whatever interesting stuff I find to share with friends and other members of the ModDB community.
If you are interested in seeing only my stuff without the confusion of where it may have come from then go to www.vitriol3d.com . That is my personal website and there I can guarantee everything is modeled by me. =)
You and I are friends now on steam. So we have to find a game that we both have that we can play someday, if you want :P
Sure thing. I saw you had DayZ and Sniper Elite V2, I'm always up for playing those.
Do you have a zombie to Sniper elite 2?
Yeah, both NZA 1 and 2.
Cool, play that one day. Just call me on Steam.
Uh, thank you!

Patching: reboots and application shutdowns
We've been running with KACE patching for our ~100 desktops for the past few months and have had problems with:
(1) PCs rebooting even though user did not authorise a reboot
(2) applications shutting down (e.g. MS Office apps) due to patch installs
(3) various and sundry usability complaints (e.g. user cannot defer install to set time of day or when shutting down)
As a result, I'm very nearly at the point of abandoning KACE patching altogether and returning to WSUS. I've formed the opinion that the KACE patching mechanisms are buggy, unreliable and must have been designed from an IT admin-only perspective without taking into account the needs of the end user.
Is there any hope on the horizon? e.g. might the next version of the Agent introduce much improved patching functionality, or would waiting be a futile exercise?
I hate to return to a product like Microsoft WSUS, but right now it seems to be clearly better than the KACE offering.
Any update on this problem? We just deployed Kace and are seeing the same issues. Reboots when the config is set to NOT reboot unless user accepts the prompt to reboot.
so that the conversation will remain readable.
Do you have a patch window?
I set my patches to run during the night, with a suspend time to prevent them from bleeding into working hours. So far, I haven't had any problems from users.
I hope this isn't normal, or accepted behavior. With the new year I've started to deploy patches Microsoft and Adobe patches via the K1000 and am having problems as well. Most of my users are laptop users who rarely if ever connect to WAN or VPN. I have to schedule their updates to occur during the day, or and even upon log in when they schedule is missed. As a result I have a detect run for them at 8am (with the option to run on log in if missed), and deploy at noon. The deploy prompts to ok/snooze. Unfortunately when they hit Snooze it just runs anyway.
I am ready to work intensively with support on the issue now that I've finished some other major projects. I'll be sure to share what I learn.
We have enabled patching on our campus and are also going through some growing pains. One change I made is that the prompt to begin patching includes a notice that we don't recommend users to use their computer while patching is in progress, because it may close applications. I think that once users get used to leaving their computers on Thursday evenings (when we have patching set to run) these issues will go away. Our bigger issue is that we don't automatically restart their computer, and some users snooze the reboot for quite a while.
There is a known bug that pressing the Snooze button doesn't work, at least that's what I was told when I submitted a support ticket for that issue. I wasn't given an ETA on when a fix would be released, although I would hope that would be a priority.
I would like to be able to schedule Detect and Deploy as an overnight job, but (unfortunately?!) my organisation is a very green shade of green and there are strict rules in place about leaving computers on overnight and so on. So that won't be an option for me.
Because we need to be PCI compliant, I am also being squeezed from another direction about ensuring that ALL software (not just MS software) is patched with the latest security updates.
Lastly, we are an overseas aid organisation and roughly 30% of the staff travel regularly, so even if I picked a "patch Thursday" or similar, a fair chunk of my staff are out of the office and will miss the window.
So I don't see a resolution that works for me in the short term, unless I get:
* option to schedule a Deploy either at Next Shutdown, or Next Startup; or
* option for users to make that choice via the Agent popup window
I would offer the following suggestions:
For machines that aren't mobile, schedule an automatic power on in the BIOS, if you can. Most BIOS setups will allow you to schedule the computer to power on at a certain time, and you can schedule your updates to begin shortly after that. You may also be able to set the computers to Wake on LAN and have the KBOX send the WOL packet before patching is scheduled. You can schedule wake on LAN events in the Distribution tab.
If you set the machines to power on in the middle of the night and then also set a time for patching to complete, you could also then schedule a script to shut them down. So, perhaps you schedule the wake up for 1:00am and then let the patching job run for four hours (which is probably more than enough), you could then schedule a shutdown for 5:00am. Alternatively, you could have them power on at 6:00am and only let patching run for two hours, which should mean they'll be finished before the start of your work day, and since people are coming in, there isn't a huge need to shutdown before they get there. With that kind of schedule you can have the patches install immediately and have the system reboot automatically.
The mobile staff are a little more difficult to deal with, and you might need to develop a different patch schedule that better fits their needs. I actually have a schedule that I call "Patch Now" which allows me to add a computer and run patching immediately. It obviously isn't an automated process, but it may work. Alternatively you could setup a patch schedule for them that will patch upon next connection and those users just need to learn to turn on their computer and realize that they will need to allow patches to run before they can work on it. You could set it to delay patching by a few hours, giving them a chance to catch up on work, but then they'll need to not use the computer for a little bit.
My institution is also concerned with sustainability, so our machines are set to go to sleep and users are trained to shutdown. We're still in the process of working out those details, but I think that the added security of up to date machines is worth it. We also used WSUS before, but I much prefer the flexibility that KACE provides with updates, in addition to the application patching. I think that a big part of implementing a solution like KACE is user education and communication. As system administrators we need to make sure we get our message across that these updates are important and in the long run users' machines will perform better with patching setup and working properly. If you need to convince management of the need then remind them of how much time you spend manually updating computers when they are acting problematic. I'm betting that your hourly wage is higher than what they are spending for kilowatt hour to keep the computers on for patching.
Just got on the latest and greatest version yesterday, which i thought may have fixed the snooze and the rebooting without prompting issues, which i also experienced on previous versions...
Tested it last night with full prompting (prompt before install, allow snooze, message during patching, prompt before reboot, no reboot on timeout, & re-prompt)
1. Snooze is working
2. Prompt before reboot is broken - it shutdown all apps and rebooted with no warning (same as old version, note: just microsoft patches)
2a. on the test system, there were 99 patches detected to be applied (we had this off for many months), at some point in the middle is where it decided to reboot on it's own (force closed apps, reboot)
2b. after the reboot, it went through the verify step, then it showed as completed. Note that not all of the detected patches were applied.
2c. kicked off another deploy cycle just for fun, it did some more patches, again the auto-reboot, no prompt, again the verify step, marked as completed, not all patches applied
2d. third deploy kicked off, the rest of the patches were (finally) applied, but this time, it decided to actually prompt for permission to reboot! [:D]
My recommendation is to not use K1000 to patch non-Lab systems. Regular workstations and roaming laptop users will be better served by WSUS, WUInstall, or homegrown patching since it won't reboot spontaneously. Your users will be happier since they won't lose their work! Hopefully someday, this will be fixed.
Just for fun, i'm going to try patching Adobe products in the coming weeks to see if they exhibit the same behavior via the k1000...
The "at some point in the middle is where it decided to reboot on it's own" is typically caused by a "bad patch". Was this schedule's Patch Action set to Deploy or Detect and Deploy? Can you look back at the Windows Event Logs to determine which patch had installed immediately prior to the spontaneous reboots? r2
p.s. For all: Anytime you are going to patch a user's system with their interaction, it is ALWAYS a good idea to ask them to save their work and close ALL apps before clicking OK to continue. Patches simply aren't made to patch open apps without causing bad things to happen.
I hear what you are saying Ron. But the problem is that the flexibility of the KACE patching approach simply isn't adequate to my needs. I need to be able to give the user control over the timing of patching, within certain limits. Leaving computers on overnight isn't an option. Waking them up with "wake on LAN" doesn't really suit either, because 30% of my clients are out of the office travelling at any given time, and when they come back into the office I want them patched that same day, but I want the user to be able to defer until a suitable time. Hitting the Sleep button repeatedly all day is just plain annoying for users. What would work for me is options like:
(a) sleep for [user specified period not exceeding a limit I set]; or
(b) sleep until [specified time of day]; or
(c) install patches when I next shut down; or
(d) install patches when I next boot up
Its all about flexibility; for me and for the users. Yes, there are occasional patches which inadvertantly cause a reboot. I can live with the occasional glitch. But its the lack of flexibility which is killing me.
Are you familiar with the KACE User Voice site? You can suggest feature requests and vote for those suggested by others. r2
Yes, absolutely. A little while back I did log an idea along these lines. Refer:
Perhaps, if others agree that this would be useful, they could add their "me too" votes?
Stephen I'm with you on this one. Not only have we been getting the forced reboots (which supposedly was fixed in the most recent update). But after going round and round with KACE Support, we found that Lumensions/Patchlink do NOT patch any Microsoft product that they do not consider 'critical'. Meaning all those important, recommended, optional patches Microsoft may push, aren't even options.
I also suggest this for user voice.
Or maybe we need to put a suggestion in that is more general like "Make KACE Patching not suck".

I like this paper but was dismayed to see that the really old map doesn't have many cities on it, which is a little out of synch with the relatively modern license plates. Also, it hardly shows the Puget Sound area (my home).

Gov. Martin O'Malley announced his opposition to legalizing marijuana in Maryland for recreational use.
O'Malley spoke about his position during the annual "Annapolis Summit" radio broadcast hosted by Marc Steiner of WEAA 88.9 FM on Wednesday, the first day of the 90-day General Assembly session.
"I've seen what drug addiction has done to the people of our state and the people of our city," O'Malley, a former Baltimore mayor, said, according to the The Washington Post.
The possibility of legalizing recreational marijuana use in Maryland has picked up momentum since Washington state and Colorado decriminalized the drug. The proposal could gain some traction during the current session, especially since Senate President Thomas V. Mike Miller has expressed support for it.
The issue could also play a role in the Democratic gubernatorial primary, which is scheduled for this June. Del. Heather Mizeur, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, released a plan late last year to that would decriminalize marijuana and use revenue from its taxation to help pay for universal pre-kindergarten.
Both of Mizeur's rival campaigns for the Democratic nomination, Lt. Gov. Anthony Brown and Attorney General Doug Gansler, have previously acknowledged that the public's attitude about marijuana use has shifted, but fell short of backing legalization.

Lovely! I just purchased this dress today to wear at my religious wedding ceremony and reception in September. This is not a first wedding for either of us (we actually had a civil ceremony while vacationing in Key West this past December) and I wasn't planning on something quite so fancy. I had been combing the internet for the style dress that I liked and went to David's with pictures in hand. Needless to say, this dress looks nothing like I had in mind. *grin* I saw it in a catalog that the receptionist gave me to peruse while I waiting to be assisted. I thought it too fussy for what I had in mind but I kept going back to look at the picture. After trying on three other dresses, I asked to see it. I could tell that I was going to love it as I slipped it on. I felt like I was wearing a cloud. They also had it in Iris, which was my color of choice. The only down side was that they only had it in a size larger than what I take. I needed several alterations which were very pricey, but this dress is well worth it. I am not as thin as I would like to be and this gown is very slimming and flattering. It hides a multitude of sins. I feel a bit like a princess in it and I can't wait to see my guy's face as I walk down that aisle. I will come back to post a picture after my special day. August 6, 2012
Even better in person! I got this dress in Iris for the upcoming Air Force Ball. I just had a baby a few months ago, so this definitely will help complement my body while I'm working off the baby weight. I'm very busty, and the top fit perfectly. No alterations needed at all. The dress is really lightweight. It feels weightless and flows effortlessly. August 6, 2012
Gorgeouse Dress My bridesmaids were un-decisive on these dress. They thought it looked more like a dress for a sweet 16 or Quinsenera. Asked ea other to try it to see how it looked on. Each loved how it looked on the other one just they felt like it was too puffy on them. Once I tried my dress and they stood next to me saw us in the mirror, they love the dresses. It was a perfect match. I had 3 they all had different body types and suited them perfect. My wedding was this month of July so it was hot,but they felt great and light on it! Down side the organza ruffles can get damaged easy. I would recommend this dress and buy it again in a beat! July 30, 2012
PROM NIGHT! I wore this dress to my prom which was Cinderella theme, so I was diffrent in the canairy yellow and I was more like Princess Bell than Cinderella. But it looked absolutely amazing, the quality of the dress was nothing less than perfect. I didnt even realize it was a brides maid's dress until I went to write a review online. I would recommend this dress to anyone who was looking for a fun, light and flowy dress for a special occassion (: May 16, 2012

Joel W. Solomon Federal Building, Chattanooga, Tennessee
by Wendy Darling
I zoomed in on a repeated motif around the entrance window bay. I thought it might be some sort of serpent but it's abstract.
From Wikipedia:
The Joel W. Solomon Federal Building and U.S. Court-house stands in the central business district of Chattanooga. Facing Georgia Avenue and across from Miller park, it occupies half a city block. The building is a notable example of the Art Moderne style as employed for government buildings in the 1930s. The form and details recall the classicism of earlier government architecture but take a stylized form here seen in sleek lines, a vertical emphasis, and plant, animal, and geometric decorative motifs. Several of the motifs, such as eagles and stars, evoke patriotic associations that are particularly appropriate for a federal building. The five-story building has a steel structure clad in white marble. Two penthouses are set on projecting towers at the northwest and southwest corners.[

> Curse of Shadows: This spell has been removed.
> Curse of Elements: This spell now applies to Arcane and Shadow damage, as well as Frost and Fire.
This is actually quite a huge change (of which I highly approve) and the implications for curse rotations in raids just got a little easier to manage. Plus, it frees up a spot on the spellbar...and you gotta love that!
ErsatzPotato said...
It is a huge change, and looks directly tied to tuning all those new raids for ten players.
I love the all ten raids in theory; in practice I'm worried about it. They'll have to homogenize classes and gear (actively going on and yuck), abilities within a class (not a bad thing), and go with more gimmicky mechanics like ZA gauntlets. Also, if I remember correctly they said they're tuning the ten mans around one tank. Expect a lot of guild drama there. Clique-pa-looza.
Since I've already wandered far off topic, anyone expecting people who don't already tank to tank with their new death knights for more than a week, I've got a bridge to Netherstorm to sell you. Only 100g. Latest in goblin engineering, top notch stuff.
Never played a rogue past level six, but isn't that change the first talent/spell/ability ever tied directly to resilience?

Summary: "His name is Connor Ford and he falls like an angel of mercy from the sky, braving the flames to save the woman he loves but knows he cannot have. For Julia Bishop is the partner of his closest friend, Ed Tully, an ambitious young musician. Julia loves them both but the tragedy on Snake Mountain forces her to choose between them and burns a brand on all their hearts." "With his blond, blue-eyed looks and laconic cowboy charm, Connor is the only child of a Montana rancher and a rodeo queen. Until that fateful day, he has been happy to spend his winters nurturing a career as a photographer and his summer vacations with Ed, "smoke jumping" - being dropped by parachute to fight remote forest fires." "In the wake of the fire, he embarks on a journey to the dark heart of human suffering, traveling the world's worst wars and disasters to take photographs that find him fame but never happiness. Reckless of a life he no longer wants, again and again he dares death to take him, until another fateful day on another continent, he must walk through fire once more."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

It's pretty easy to spot hail damaged cars in the Metro. More than 75,000 home and auto claims have been submitted from the March 18 hail storm, which could carry a $300 million price tag.
"[It] is worse than the tornadoes that came through here in April 2010 and the tornado that hit Yazoo City," said state Insurance Commissioner Mike Chaney.
Most drivers who have submitted a claim have received a check from their insurance company.
Some have opted to keep the cash and live with the dents, while others are waiting for their vehicle to be repaired. But a warning from Chaney touches on a possibility few drivers may have considered. If you cash the hail damage repair check from your insurance company and keep the money rather than using it for repairs, you will end up paying for those repairs out of pocket if you happen to be in a car crash, or another type of damage occurs to your vehicle.
"If they have paid you [for hail damage], they are going to deduct that payment for the actual damage you suffer in the second accident. They are going to deduct the payment on the first before they pay you," explained Chaney.
He says policy holders should document all of their damage.
"The [insurance companies] keep records and they know how much they paid you and you're not going to be paid twice. You can't game the system here and that's not the idea. The idea of insurance is to protect you. It's not to be a maintenance policy," said Chaney.
Chaney has another warning for drivers. If you're in the market for a new ride and want to pay a lower price for a hail damaged vehicle, you have to report those dings to your insurance company when you buy insurance. Also, you can only buy certain coverage if the vehicle has been totaled.
"You can get liability but you can't get collision on them. You need to know that," explained Chaney. He also says you can get uninsured motorist coverage.
Chaney encourages every driver to get a second opinion on the cost of your damage repairs and asks for patience while the body shops in the area work to help each customer.
Finally, Chaney warns customers not to pay money up front to speed up the process.

Generals Charcoal Pencils Now Available in the UK
Hi guys and gals. I just want to let all of you know that have been interested in the much talked about Generals Charcoal pencils that you can now get them here http://www.lavenderhillcolours.com/p...ing-equipment/ They are available in 6B, 4B, 2B, HB and 2H.
For those who haven't heard about these pencils they are the tool of choice by Henry Yan and many other renowned american artists and schools. They are very smooth and not at all gritty like other brands here in the UK. The wood is also soft allowing for easy sharpening. For those who are fans of Henry Yan they also have Smooth newsprint and Strathmore smooth drawing paper that Henry uses.

Hey marian
Just wondering if you know if Lavnedarhill sell glass palattets? I saw a post on their facebook page a couple of months ago about them selling them, but cant find it on their site. Also not going to Lavanedar for the time being due to a few issues.
Hi Schnaps, sorry to hear you are having issues I hope they are resolved soon. I will ask about the glass palettes and let you know.
Hey Schnaps, yes Lavender Hill are selling glass palettes. They had one in stock and are waiting on some materials to come in before making more but if you email them at firstname.lastname@example.com with what you want they will be able to let you know when they can supply and costs. Hope that helps.
Thanks for the help Marian, much appreciated.
Just out of curiosity, these particular pencils have been available in the US through amazon.com for some time.
Are they not available via the UK version of amazon?
Hey TeddyBlues, sorry for my delay in replying. The answer is yes they are on Amazon UK but it was an American company selling them so shipping used to be a lot and you would have to wait a while for them to arrive. Also you couldn't buy singles of one pencil grade only multipacks which included pencil grades you may not want. Hope that helps.

Marshall Goldstein
Liberalism appears to have two meanings; one having an ethical component, which strives to allow individuals to fulfil their capabilities and be full members of society; the other, simply being a market-like relation between consumers. In this thesis I argue that there is a meaning left to liberalism other than enforcing the minimal rules of the competitive arena and that liberalism must encompass the new problems of growing unemployment and poverty in liberal democratic societies.
This thesis considers modern liberal thinkers who address the meaning of liberalism and the contemporary crises faced in Western democratic nations. These thinkers, Guy Debord, John Kenneth Galbraith, Norberto Bobbio, and Ralf Dahrendorf, provide a convenient overall perspective on the problem of liberalism.
Guy Debord views liberal societies as just a spectacle of mindless consumption which has gone beyond the grasp of thoughtful citizenship. However, while his arguments do have some valid points and remarks to make about our society, because Debord chooses to ignore the plight of the increasing numbers of those who do not fit into the general parameters of society, his argument that liberalism necessarily excludes ethical principles is flawed.
John Kenneth Galbraith addresses the issue of the growing number of poor and unemployed which raises the issue as to whether liberalism can address the needs of society as it changes.
Norberto Bobbio attempts to find a system which would solve the present shortcomings of our liberal democratic system. However, he offers a utopian vision which would not solve contemporary problems.
Finally, Ralf Dahrendorf addresses problems faced in contemporary liberal democracies and believes ethical liberalism has a future. While he recognizes the conflict between the market side and the ethical side of liberalism, he believes that this conflict, given the will, can and must be worked out to benefit every human being.

Fundamentals about MMC and our Video
Welcome to Mountain Midwifery Center!****ORIENTATION DATES BELOW*******
Welcome to the only birth center in the Front Range - licensed, accredited and freestanding.
Mountain Midwifery Center provides a full range of midwifery services for clients in the Denver Metro Area, the front range, across Colorado and even further locales. Services offered include:
- Well-woman care for women of all ages,
- For birth, the center provides prenatal care, natural birth, water birth in Aqua Doula tubs, nutritional counseling and more,
- Educational services that complement birth, such as classes on childbirth, newborn care and breastfeeding.
If you're wondering, Mountain Midwifery Center truly is the only birth center in the Denver area.
- Licensing - MMC is the only facility licensed as a birth center. All other licensed facilities calling themselves birth centers are licensed as hospitals.
- Accreditation - MMC is the only facility accredited by the Commission for the Accreditation of Birth Centers to standards set by the American Association of Birth Centers.
- Freestanding - MMC is the only freestanding, out-of-hospital birth center in the front range.
If you see the words "birth center" at another birth place, please request proof of proper licensing or accreditation, or request they use another name for their facility.
What is a Freestanding Birth Center?
A Birth Center is designed to be a "Maxi-Home" not a "Mini-Hospital." We strive to allow women to labor and birth in a true home-like environment while providing one-on-one care that helps ensure superior mom and baby outcomes. The Birth Center is not just pretty birth rooms, it is an education-intensive program of care. From your first visit through the birth of your baby and beyond, the Birth Center is designed to facilitate healthy choices for families.
Why Choose Mountain Midwifery Center?
Mountain Midwifery Center believes that pregnancy and birth for most women is a state of health. We trust that your body can grow, birth and breastfeed your baby. The staff provides individualized care and an education plan that includes nutrition, exercise and stress-reduction recommendations. In addition, you have access to an extensive lending library of birth books and videos. You may also browse through our online Resource section and periodically check our Mountain Blog for birth center news and articles regarding pregnancy and natural childbirth.
How do I begin my prenatal care with MMC?
First, please check the FAQ tab and examine the list under "Is it right for me?"
Second - Attend an orientation (REQUIRED). ALL prospective maternity clients must attend an orientation prior to making the first appointment. Come see what Mountain Midwifery Center is all about! At the FREE orientation, you will tour the center and learn about our approach to natural birth, water birth, and midwifery. You'll have the chance to ask questions and discover if Mountain Midwifery is right for you. We do orientations for maternity clients so that your first visit can be about you, not about how MMC works. Orientations last for one hour and begin promptly at the time listed because coming in later disrupts the flow of it. We may, schedule permitting, provide personal tours for mothers transferring to us after 24 weeks gestation. Unfortunately we are unable to take transfers into our care for families greater than 32 weeks in their pregnancy. If you are earlier in pregnancy, we ask that you please come to an orientation. We are always adding more dates, if you don't see one that works for you please check back often. Click on the dates below to tell us you will be attending. We do not share your information, and you will not be added to a mailing list. The registration is free and tells us how many people to expect. Orientation is held in our Education space in Suite 500, also known as Blossom Wellness Center (The Midwife's Garden).

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) Girl Scouts from western Wisconsin helped give a big Easter surprise to U-S troops when they flew into Minneapolis-Saint Paul. Scouts from the Wisconsin and Minnesota River Valleys handed out boxes of Girl Scout cookies to about 75 soldiers on Saturday night.
Members of the 461st Engineering Company had just landed at the Twin Cities, after building schools in the Dominican Republic. Several dozen Girl Scouts greeted them with signs thanking them for their service. The cookie giveaway is part of a national program called "Operation Cookie Care Package." Customers donate boxes of cookies to the troops.
About 27,000 boxes of Girl Scout cookies have been donated nationally so far this year.

Tomatillo Salsa Verde
I have had the privilege of taking tomatillo salsa-making lessons not once, but twice this summer. Once was during my fabulous Mexican cooking course at the Culinary Institute of America (read all about my adventures here, here, and here!). But a few weeks before that, I actually had a fun evening cooking and making all sorts of rockin' salsa, guacamole, tacos and carnitas with my friend, Ita!
Interestingly enough — in addition to being absolutely delicious (and addictive!), the recipes for tomatillo salsa verde from Chef Remolina and Ita were identical! Kid you not. I shouldn't have been surprised — Ita was born and raised in Oaxaca, and our course at the CIA was on Pueblan and Oaxacan cooking. But still, it was fun to see the traditional recipes really line up!
According to both of them, the key to making authentic, delicious salsa verde is using a molcajete – a Mexican, granite mortar and pestle. (Ita's was shaped like a pig!) You can definitely make salsa verde in the food processor as well (see tip below), but apparently there's something in the process of dry-roasting the vegetables and then grinding them by hand that releases different kinds of yummy flavor.
I have to admit though. Ita will tell you — I'm a total wimp with the molcajete. After a few minutes, I was sweating and whining about my aching arms, and my veggies were still hardly broken up. Whereas with just a few swift, expert twists with the pestle, Ita had all the veggies perfectly broken up, and she adeptly multi-tasked all of our other recipes in the meantime. Clearly, I have much to learn. (And maybe a few more push-ups with Jillian Michaels to do…)
Probably the biggest surprise in salsa-making lessons was learning that there are no secret, surprise ingredients in authentic salsa verde. Just the normal tomatillos, serrano, cilantro, lime juice, onion, garlic, and salt. But believe me, there's nothing "normal" about how incredibly fresh, deeply flavored and 100% addictive this salsa can be. Infinitely better than anything you could ever buy at the store. :)
So cheers to delicious and healthy Mexican food. (And a special cheers as well to Ita and her fiancee, Nick (also a fantastic chef!), who are getting married in a month! Felicidades!!)
Tomatillo Salsa Verde
- 1 pound tomatillos, husks removed and rinsed
- 1 serrano pepper (or 2 jalapeno peppers)
- 2 unpeeled garlic cloves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup diced white onion
- 2 tsp. lime juice (optional)
- large pinch of salt (to taste)
Dry roast the tomatillos, onion, garlic (with peel on!) and the serrano chile on a griddle (or use a cast-iron or heavy skillet) over medium heat. Once the garlic skins begins to brown, remove from heat, peel and discard the skins. Continue dry-roasting the other vegetables, turning fairly frequently, until they are mostly blackened on each side. Then remove from heat and set aside.
Place the dry-roasted garlic in a molcajete (mortar) with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and mash into a paste with the tejolote (pestle).
Remove stem and skin from the dry roasted serrano and slice in half. Add the serrano to the molcajete and mash into a fine paste. Add the onions and tomatillos one at a time, swirling and grinding until all the tomatillos are incorporated into the salsa.
Season with salt and add the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Stir to combine and serve. (This will keep for four days in the refrigerator.)
Ali's Tip:
Here are instructions on making these by broiling the veggies in the oven, and blending them in a food processor:
Preheat broiler to high. Place the tomatillos, serrano and unpeeled garlic cloves in a baking dish and put under the preheated broiler until the tomatillos are roasted and the peppers are slightly charred on all sides, about 10-15 minutes. Rotate the ingredients during cooking to make sure all sides are charred.
Remove the baking dish from under the broiler. Once slightly cooled, peel the peppers and garlic and remove any extremely charred skin from the tomatillo (although this adds flavor if you'd like to leave some in).
Add the tomatillos, garlic, serrano, onions, cilantro, lime juice and salt to a food processor. Pulse until the salsa is well-blended. Season with extra salt if needed.

Dev Blog: Simulation Difficulty
New to Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 is a fifth difficulty level known as Simulation. This setting was created to give the hardcore players the challenge they've been requesting for years. In addition, there are many new gameplay settings that let you customize gameplay across all levels of difficulty.
With settings like Advanced Shot Shaping and Analog Fade Strike Meter, Simulation will challenge anyone who plays it.
At the home state in Simulation difficulty, you can see the "Arrow Only" wind display in the top right of the screen. You can also see Advanced Shot Shaping at work in the bottom right. Keegan Bradley is a Draw golfer, so he is defaulted to a Draw in his stance.
With Zoom to Aim turned off, the camera moves to a lifted state when you try to zoom out. You cannot adjust your aim or see your aimer in this state. All aiming must be done from the home state.
With Swing Meter turned off, your guide for executing the Swing Path and Backswing Length is removed. The Analog Fade Strike Meter also comes into play here; once moved, it will disappear. It takes about 1.5 seconds for it to fade away. This may seem meaningless on the tee, but get into some tough lies and you'll understand the level of difficulty this feature delivers!
Rethinking the shot, the hole doesn't set up well for a draw with the wind. In altering the Stance, a straight shot wasn't possible as it forced me to use a Fade shot once I adjusted Stance. This is Advanced Shot Shaping at work, forcing me to shape my long shots.
You can use your imagination for the result of this swing.
These few screens just scratch the surface of what it looks and feels like to play a round on Simulation difficulty. As previously stated, this mode is for hardcore fans. If this isn't your kind of mode, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 still offers four other Difficulty Levels for you to choose from: Amateur, Pro, Tour Pro and Tournament.
Amateur Difficulty provides you with a casual experience and classic gameplay.
Pro Difficulty brings several core mechanics into play, like Normal Shot Shaping and Sticky Strike Meter.
Tour Pro Difficulty increases the challenge by removing aids like Putt Preview and Ball Spin.
Tournament Difficulty remains a challenge in its own right. And with the addition of the No Beads green grid, the approach and putting difficulty has been taken up a notch from last year.
In addition to the five preset Difficulty settings, you can create any Custom Difficulty that you want. So no matter what your level of skill is, Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 has a something for your style of play.
Tiger Woods PGA TOUR 14 is now available for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Order your copy today!

See you all on the course,

This is a stove that really deserves its name - it's extremely small and easily collapsible. The stove consists of a base with a burner and piezo igniter, windscreen, a 1.2 liter pot and a lid in sturdy polycarbonate plastic which can also serve as a colander, with its bayonet fastening. All the components can be packed into the pot, leaving room for a 100 gram LP gas cartridge. Primus' fuel-efficient burner and the EtaPower pot cut down on weight in your pack, by cutting down on fuel. To protect the non-stick coating, a graded bowl made of hygienic, environmentally friendly polypropylene is included. The bowl also makes an excellent serving bowl.

Two 19th-century fellows, F.W. Lindqvist and J.V. Svensson, began manufacturing kerosene stoves in a little blacksmith's workshop in central Stockholm in March 1892. They named their company J.V. Svensson's Kerosene Stove Factory, and they gave their stove the name Primus.
The original Primus stove
When the patent had expired and other manufacturers could begin to compete with their own kerosene stoves, they found they had to put up with people referring to their stoves as Primus stoves, too.
Hillary & Tenzing at Mount Everest
After more than a month of trekking and climbing, hauling ten tons of equipment over countless crevasses and across the unexplored, thousand meter high Khumbu Icefall, the expedition set up top camp, one hundred meters below the razor summit of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain. The British expedition under the leadership of John Hunt had steadily fought its way closer to the peak. Each day had been a struggle against the harsh and unpredictable elements. Now its members could actually see the summit, so close yet so far away.
A New Zealander, Sir Edmund Hillary, and a Sherpa, Tenzing Norgay from Nepal, were given the honour of trying to make the top. But they had to break off their first attempt because they simply did not have the strength to make it all the way. Once they had rested up for a couple of days, it was time to try again. It was clear and sunny and it seemed as though they were going to make it. But the weather suddenly changed to a lashing storm that made it impossible to see the attempt through.
Primus was here
On May 29, 1953 Hillary and Tenzing started up the mountain again. This time they succeeded. Now they stood on the roof of the world, at the summit of Mount Everest, 8848 meters above sea level.
Hillary and Tenzing, and Primus
Throughout the entire expedition its members had cooked food, made tea, boiled water and lit up the dark nights with Primus stoves and lanterns that worked without problem, regardless of winds or temperatures.

Be Bear Aware
The natural curiosity of bears brings them into our communities. While exploring our residential areas, they become ensnared in a web of garbage and other attractants. Bears are ruled by their stomachs; if they cannot find the food they need, they soon leave the area. Foraging in communities is a learned behaviour that threatens the safety of both the bears and the residents of that community.
Bear Aware encourages people to change their behaviour. If people do not make bear attractants such as garbage and fruit available to bears, we can minimize human-bear conflict. Preventing these conflicts makes our communities safer and more sustainable. The program strives, through proper waste and attractant management, to prevent bears from lingering in our urban areas.
It is hoped that this reduction of bear attractants will minimize complaints and reduce the number of animals that have to be destroyed or relocated each year. This reduction of bear attractants (and hence human-bear conflict) not only protects a significant wildlife resource, but also frees Conservation Officers to pursue other important duties - and saves the taxpayer money.
On average 500 black bears and 40 grizzlies are killed every year in BC. Most of these deaths are preventable. For more information on preventing these destructions, please explore the rest of this website.

A March 3 trial date has been set for a suburban Detroit man accused of murder in the death of his 56-year-old wife.
Robert Bashara was arraigned Friday morning in Wayne County Circuit Court. He's charged with first-degree murder.
Jane Bashara was beaten and strangled at the couple's Grosse Pointe Park home in January 2012. Her body was found in her Mercedes-Benz, which was abandoned in Detroit.
Handyman Joe Gentz is in prison after pleading guilty to second-degree murder. He has said 55-year-old Robert Bashara threatened to kill him unless he followed orders and killed Jane Bashara.
Robert Bashara has repeatedly denied any role during media interviews. He pleaded guilty last year to trying to have Gentz killed in jail.

Make Your Own Harry Potter Butter Beer
It's Thanksgiving, yes, but there's one other large event that our family is totally into. It doesn't have a thing to do with turkeys or mashed potatoes, but it captivates our hearts just the same. I'm talking of course about Harry Potter opening weekend and that my friends, starts today!
I've kept a close eye on the Butter Beer recipes that have been steadily popping up online but like Darla over at Bakingdom, I found them all to sound ridiculously sweet or too elaborate for a drink. And although I might be a fan, I'm not the "go see a movie at 12:01" kind of fan, so I was willing to hold out for a recipe that sounded delicious and I didn't have to brew up on my own.
For those who are into Harry Potter (or for those who aren't, tasty beverages hold no loyalty) Butter Beer is an imaginary, non-alcoholic warming beverage (or if you Google long enough, a pint of Michelob Light with a shot of butterscotch schnapps... which sounds truly... icky) that the characters in the books partake of.
Darla was able to head to
Disney Universal when The Wizarding World of Harry Potter first opened and had herself a glass (or two) of this frosty beverage which she describes as " a cross between a butterscotchy cream soda and a root beer float."
Trying to keep the sweetness down, she only adds one simple ingredient to a regular cream soda which takes the taste over the top and makes this treat easy to make for those fanatics in your household, young and old alike. All you have to do is add a little butter extract! That's it!
• Get the recipe: Check out Bakingdom for the full low on on making your own.
But trust us when we say, you'll have this drink whipped up and consumed before you can find a theater that isn't already sold out! Don't forget to look for her recipe for double double chocolate cauldron cakes while you're there — a perfect match for this warming buttery beverage!

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is at Universal Orlando (and not Disney). Also, I've heard that the butterbeer that is served in the park is overly sweet.
Thanks for this recipe. Ill have to they it out.
Also, just FYI, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter isn't at Disney World. It's at Universal Orlando, inside Islands of Adventure.
This looks pretty. But I prefer the "overly complicated" version at HistoricalFoods.com.... Three teaspoons of butter extract = yuck.
Butter extract??? I don't even want to know how that's made.
Nerd-off! Butterbeer is definitely slightly alcoholic. There are multiple references to tipsyness after drinking it in the HP books, and a few in the films.
Ok, I'm embarrassed that I'm actually posting this...
sturgeongeneral- in the books it is. In the parks, its not.
I had the butterbeer at the park and all these recipes people keep trying to make up make my head hurt. You want it like at the park, try something like this (more complicated but also tastes closer)
Cream -
(Use a Pyrex measuring cup)
* Add 2 or so spoonfuls of regular (not fat free or extra creamy) Cool Whip. Microwave for 10 seconds and stir. You want enough to be at the 1/4 cup mark. To this, add a light (meaning clear, not the dark kind) corn syrup (Karo) til you hit between the 1/3 and 1/2 mark. – Add a tsp water. Add 2 drops of English Toffee Lorann Oil. Add 1/8 tsp baking soda. Set aside.
* The Lorann Oil is key here. Lorann oils are sold at candy and cake supply stores (i.e.- NOT Walmart/ Michaels, etc) and online. Its for flavoring hard candies. It's super concentrated and only takes a drop or two but one taste and you'll agree it's not butterscotch or butter nut or plain butter flavor from the megamart.
The Drink –
(In cup you want to drink out of or stirred lightly in a pitcher)
* Add roughly 3 tbsp of Smuckers Butterscotch Syrup (yellow squeezy bottle) Add to this 1/8 tsp apple cider vinegar. Add a splash of COLD cream soda (If you have Barq's French Vanilla cream soda near you, even better. I think that's the base but its very hard to find). Stir the syrup up so itll mix with the rest of the cream soda when you pour. It should look cloudy brassy colored. Pour on the rest of the cream soda to the top of the glass and leave room.
* Spoon or pour the cream on top. Not too much, just a thin layer over the drink. Over time, it will foam up a bit like in the real version.
And yes, the drink in the park is probably about 2 times as sweet as a regular cream soda. It's also dairy free. Adding dairy reacts similar to a root beer float.
the movie was fun and good so now i'm in the mood to not only watch it again, but to make a cream soda float and call it good! maybe try a splash of butterscotch schnapps in there for good measure in honor of Winky (the elf with a drinking problem) and Dobby.
Furthering the nerdiness:
I actually don't think it is alcoholic in the books -- or rather it's only very mildly alcoholic, like kombucha. If the students aren't supposed to be drinking firewhiskey, I don't know why they'd be allowed butter beer.
And the character who gets drunk on butter beer is a tiny house elf:
"Winky is getting through six bottles a day now," Dobby whispered to Harry.
"Well, it's not that strong, that stuff," Harry said.
But Dobby shook his head. "'Tis strong for a house-elf, sir..."
Now allow me to go find someone to give me a wedgie and steal my lunch money.
I always thought butter beer would taste more like a butterynipple shot only fizzy. will have to try this or come up with a more adult recipe ;)
Blast. I just made a different recipe this week to get in the mood for this weekend but it was SUPER sweet and complicated. Wish I would have seen this recipe first!
I've had many an HP party, and I always make it with cream soda and butterscotch schnapps. It sounds kind of gross, but trust me, it's pretty delicious - and easy!
This is so funny. I just went there yesterday and had two glasses of butterbeer. If you're a fan, you have to go! I didn't even walk around the rest of the park. All I cared about was the Harry Potter section. I've been trying to find a way to describe butterbeer since I tried it yesterday, and I was thinking it was like a butterscotch cream soda, so the description is pretty accurate. I don't know how I feel about adding butter extract to cream soda.
Okay, so we made this tonight and its DELISH. If you just put a spoonfull of the whipped cream on top and then mix it all together and you get the most delish drink of all time ever. Seriously. Everyone loved it. HOWEVER: we used vanilla butter and nut extract. WAY more spot on with the taste. Its hard to find, but so so worth it.
For a historical version of butter beer (with booze), check out the Heston Blumenthal recipe...
I had a butterbeer at the bar near the movie theater last night. Their version was butterscotch vodka and cream soda. Not something I'd drink much of, nor as tasty as it was in my imagination, but a fun way to celebrate love of all things HP.
I know this is an old post but I feel the need to point out that butter beer is not imaginary at all and it is also warm. It is in fact a very very old drink and it is in fact alcoholic as it is made with beer (Ale) and butter. Hense butter beer. It dates back to tudor times.
