Alone I Will Not Be
My comfort will come from the sea.
The stillness of calm waves will gently drift by
I will be as one with the sea.
When the sun sets on the ocean blue, remember me as I will always remember you.
As the sun rises…go live life as full as can be
Apart…you and me…but be at peace for I am free.
Capt. Chad Theesfeld
Burial at Sea Prayer: for Sailor
Oh God, we pray thee that the memory of our (family member, Friend) be ever sacred in our hearts,
... and that the sacrifice which they have offered for cause may be acceptable in thy sight.
... and may this sailor find repose with the sea in which he gave his life that we might live.
Into thy hands, oh Lord, we commend the soul of thy servant departed, now called unto eternal rest, and we commit his body to the deep.
The Twenty Third Psalm
The Lord is my shepherd: I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green Pastures, he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake, Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me, thy rod and staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointed my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.Type your paragraph here.
We Remember Them
At the rinsing of the sun and at its going down
We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and the chill of the winter
We remember them
At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of Spring
We remember them
At the blueness of the skies and the warmth of the Summer
We remember them
At the rustling of the leaves and the beauty of Autumn
We remember them
At the beginning or the year and when it ends
We remember them
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them
When we are weary and in the need for strength
We remember them
When we are lost and sick at heart
We remember them
When we have joy we crave to share
We remember them
When we have decisions that are difficult to make
We remember them
When we have achievements that are based on theirs
We remember them
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them
Stephen M (Ethesis) Candle Lighting Ceremony for Journey of Hope
There is an appointed time for everything
There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven –
A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant a time to uproot what is planted.
A time to hurt and a time to heal;
A time to tear down and a time to build.
A time to weep and a time to laugh;
A time to mourn and a time to dance.
A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones;
A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.
A time to search and a time to give up as lost:
A time to keep and a time to throw away.
A time to tear apart and a time to sew together;
A time to be silent and a time to speak.
A time to Love and a time to hate;
A time for war and a time for peace.
Ecclesiastes 3:1
El Moley Rachahmim
O God, full of compassion. Thou who dwellest on high! Grant perfect rest beneath the sheltering wings of thy presence, among the holy and pure who shine as the brightest of the firmament unto the soul of ____________________ who has gone unto eternity.
Lord of mercy, bring him (her) under the cover of thy wings,, and let is (her) soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life. Be thou him (her) possession, and may his (her) repose be peace. Amen
Birth is a beginning, and death a destination
Birth is a beginning, and death a destination
But life is a journey, a going - a growing
From stage to stage
From childhood to maturity and youth to age
From Innocence to awareness and ignorance to knowing;
From foolishness to discretion and then perhaps to wisdom
From weakness to strength or strength to weakness-
And, often, back again, From health to sickness
And back, we pray, to health again
From offense to forgiveness, from loneliness to love,
From joy to gratitude, from pain to compassion,
And grief to understanding - from fear to faith
From defeat to defeat to defeat - until, looking backward or ahead,
We see that victory lies not at some high place along the way,
But in having made the journey, stage by stage -
A sacred pilgrimage
Birth is the beginning, and death a destination;
But life is a journey, a sacred pilgrimage
Made stage by stage-from birth to death
To life everlasting

EVER since Michael Clarke was handed the leadership baton, it seemed that Pup was on a recruitment drive.
A campaign to convince the many knockers that this "young punk" surely can be man to hold what many believe to be the most important job in this country.
To fight off the opinion that the young man who has sported the peroxide look, worn the ear rings, driven the fast cars and had the supermodel companions surely couldn't follow in the footsteps of street fighters like Ricky Ponting, Steve Waugh and Mark Taylor.
But after a breathtaking triple century, Clarke's once empty bandwagon is now overflowing.
His demolition of India in Sydney was sublime to say the least, and exemplified leadership at its very best.
Shots all around the wicket, with a level of confidence and timing rarely seen from his unsponsored blade.
I didn't think I would ever be more impressed with a Michael Clarke knock than his 151 against South Africa in Cape Town in November.
That was a gutsy, brave knock that ensured his side complied a respectable total.
There are comparisons to both those knocks, with Australia 3-37 when he came to crease (3-40 at Cape Town), but this innings soon changed from a dog-fight to a master class.
The other major argument against Clarke becoming our new leader was at the time he was barely demanding a place in the team.
His unbeaten 329 was his fourth Test ton since taking charge, in comparison to none in the 12 months leading up.
Combined with his cleverness in the field placements and with bowling changes, it's nothing but a big tick for the 30-year-old.
And the cherry on top of our new-found love for Clarke is his unselfish decision to call time on his innings.
Even with the forecast of rain today, he could have batted on until deep into final session and had a crack at the magical 400, but put the team first.
But like any relationship, one event could easily end this bout of "Puppy Love".
A disastrous Ashes campaign, even if Clarke himself stands up with the bat, is all that it will take to get people off-side again.
As impressive as this current form is, it is against an Indian team which suffers from major cases of homesickness.
England are still the benchmark, and even with the likes of James Pattinson, Pat Cummins, Mitch Marsh, Nathan Lyon and Usman Khawaja there is hope, but there's still a lot of work needed to done before 2013 rolls around.
Losses to New Zealand and an inability to pass 50 against South Africa to close 2011 is evidence of that.

text: Work was undertaken to study the concentration of bromate in commercial hypochlorite solutions and the effect of storage time, and to assess the possibility of bromate formation during chlorination. The report concludes that a change from the use of chlorine gas to hypochlorite solutions will result in an increase in bromate concentration in treated water. The chlorine concentration of a stored hypochlorite solution decreases with time whereas the bromate concentration stays relatively constant. Therefore, the yse of hypochlorite solutions stored for prolonged periods will increase the likelihood of exceeding the WHO GV of 25 ug 1 - 1. If a lower bromate standard (e. g. 3 ug 1- 1) were set, then does of commercial hypochlorite of ,1mg 1- 1 could result in the limit being exceeded.

Capital works as a buffer against losses and affords protection for account holders during times of economic instability for the bank. Therefore, a bank's level of capital is a valuable measurement of a bank's financial fortitude. When it comes to safety and soundness, the higher the capital, the better.
The First National Bank and Trust Company of Broken Arrow received a score of 12 out of a possible 30 points on our test to measure capital adequacy, lower than the national average of 13.13.
One way to measure this buffer is looking at a bank's Tier 1 capital ratio. The First National Bank and Trust Company of Broken Arrow's Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.46 percent, higher than the 6 percent level considered adequate by regulators, but less than the national average of 25.65 percent. The higher the capital ratio, the better the bank will be able to weather financial difficulties.
Overall, The First National Bank and Trust Company of Broken Arrow held equity amounting to 10.38 percent of its assets, which was lower than the national average of 12.03 percent.
This test is intended to try to understand how the bank's capitalization and allocated loan loss reserves could be affected by troubled assets, such as past-due loans.
A bank with large numbers of these kinds of assets may eventually be forced to use capital to absorb losses, cutting down on its buffer of equity. Many of those assets are also likely to be in non-accrual status and no longer earning interest for the bank, decreasing earnings and increasing the chances of a failure in the future.
The First National Bank and Trust Company of Broken Arrow fell short of the national average of 37.49 on Bankrate's asset quality test, racking up 36 out of a possible 40 points .
The percentage of problem assets a bank holds compared to its total assets is a widely used indicator of asset quality.As of December 31, 2017, 1.72 percent of The First National Bank and Trust Company of Broken Arrow's loans were noncurrent, meaning they were more than 90 days past due or were in non-accrual status. That's above the national average of 1.01 percent.
Banks keep a reserve known as an "allowance for loan and lease losses" to deal with troubled assets . How large that reserve is can be a helpful indicator when evaluating a bank's ability to manage troubled assets, especially when compared to the total amount of problem loans. Unfortunately, the FDIC did not provide information on The First National Bank and Trust Company of Broken Arrow's loan loss allowance in its most recent filings.
A bank's profitability has an effect on its safety and soundness. Earnings may be retained by the bank, giving a boost to its capital cushion, or be used to deal with problematic loans, likely making the bank better able to withstand financial shocks. Conversely, losses lessen a bank's ability to do those things.
The First National Bank and Trust Company of Broken Arrow scored 16 out of a possible 30 on Bankrate's earnings test, above the national average of 15.12.
One important measure of a bank's earnings is return on equity, or net income (profit, essentially) divided by the total amount of equity. The most recent annualized quarterly return on equity for The First National Bank and Trust Company of Broken Arrow was 7.75 percent, below the national average of 8.10 percent.
The bank recorded net income of $1.4 million on total equity of $18.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017. The bank had an annualized return on average assets, or ROA, of 0.77 percent, below the 1 percent deemed satisfactory in accordance with industry standards and below the average for U.S. banks of 1.00 percent.
Bankrate.com's Safe & Sound Ratings provide a star rating system to evaluate the current financial status of financial institutions. The information gathered about banks, credit unions and thrifts is updated as set forth in the Terms of Use of Safe & Sound Ratings and Reports. The Safe & Sound Ratings information is grouped by categories of banks, thrifts and credit unions.
Bankrate.com evaluates the financial condition of institutions and assigns a one- to five-star rating for each with five stars representing the highest rating. Institutions with satisfactory performance will generally receive a rating of three or more stars. The majority of institutions fall into the three- to four-star range. An institution with an "NR" rating may be too new to rate or may have limited the publicly available information in their regulatory filings. The "NR" is not an indication of financial strength or weakness. The Safe & Sound rating is believed to be reliable, but the information is not guaranteed. In addition, events since the information was collected may have altered the institution's financial condition.

How to resize partition on Windows Server
To many server administrators, it is not an easy task to resize disk partitions. Recently I received many feedback asking me about resizing partition on Windows server, especially for Server 2012. The questions are similar, for example: is it safe to resize server volume, is it possible to shrink drive D and expand C, which is the right tool to resize partition on Windows Server. In this article, I'll show you how to resize disk partition in Windows Server 2016, 2012, 2011, 2008, 2003 (R2) without losing data.
Resize partition with Windows Disk Management
Microsoft adds new Shrink Volume and Extend Volume from Windows Vista, so you can change partition size in Disk Management of Windows Server 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2016. For Windows Server and Small Business Server 2003, the only Windows built-in utility is Diskpart command prompt. However, there is no shrink option and you cannot extend system C drive in Windows desktop.
Windows Disk Management is safe to resize partition, but because of many limitations it is no the best tool to do disk partition resizing. I'll explain in next paragraph.
How to shrink a volume
You can shrink both system and data volume in Disk Management and the shrinking operation can be done in Windows without rebooting.
Note: the steps below are not valid for Windows Server 2003. The interface and steps are exactly the same in Server 2008 to 2016.
Step 1: Right click the "Windows" flag on bottom left corner and click "Disk Management", where you'll see all hard disks and partitions connected to this server.
Step 2: Right click the drive that you want to decrease size and select "Shrink Volume"
Disk Management will query volume for available space for shrinking.
Step 3: Enter the amount of space to shrink in MB, Click Shrink to execute.
C drive is shrank in a short time. Now C drive is 30GB and other disk space converted to Unallocated, which can be used to create new volumes.
How to extend a volume
It is also very easy to extend a disk drive in Windows Disk Management.
Note: only when there is adjacent Unallocated space on the right side, you can expand a drive with Extend Volume, steps:
Step 1: Right click C drive and select "Extend Volume".
Step 2: Extend Volume Wizard will be launched, click Next to continue.
Step 3: Click Next to use default setting, otherwise, select available disk and space manually.
Step 4: Click Finish to confirm extending.
In a short while, C drive is extended by combining the Unallocated space.
Many people want to extend C drive by shrinking D, but you cannot do this in Disk Management. If you shrink D to get Unallocated space, when you right click C drive, Extend Volume is grayed out.
Limitations to resize volume with Windows DM
From Microsoft explanation:
- You cannot shrink a volume to the position where unmovable files are located, so many people feedback they can only shrink little space.
- You can only shrink the volume from right to left, so after shrinking, the Unallocated space is always on the right side.
- Only the NTFS partition that has adjacent Unallocated space on the right side can be extended with Extend Volume function.
- FAT32/16 partitions cannot be resized.
Because of the limitations, you still need 3rd-party partition software for Windows server.
Resize volume with server partition software
It is much easier to resize disk partition with software, you just need to drag and move on the disk map. You can shrink a volume and create the Unallocated space on either side, you can extend a volume with Unallocated space on either side, too. Partition software is able to move partition location, so any Unallocated space or free space in other drives of the same disk can be added into C drive with ease.
There are many software in the market, however, not every tool can finish this task well, you'd better select a reliable and safe partition software. Few people know the risk of resizing partitions.
Use safe partition resizing software
There is system/partition damage and data loss risk when resizing volume with partitioning software, because all related parameters of disk, volume and files should be modified correctly. Any software error or hardware issue such as power failure would cause system boot failure, partition corruption or data loss. Luckily, there is one server partition software that can ensure everything 100% intact while resizing disk drive.
As the safest Windows partition software, NIUBI Partition Editor is integrated unique 1 Second Rollback technology, which can automatically roll back the server to the status before resizing in ONE second, if any software or hardware issue occur during any operations. This technology is tremendous innovation in Disk Management industry and very important for server to protect data and rapidly roll back online.
Every server is equipped with backup software, but it is not enough. In the technical forums, many people feedback disaster that caused by some partition software. If the damage occur, it costs several hours or even a whole day to restore everything and verify data integrity. You may lose data if backing up is not in real time.
These disaster won't happen with NIUBI Partition Editor, because it will roll back the server within ONE second, even if it failed to resize partition due to some error. In that case, you can try other way without keeping server offline for such a long time.
It is also the fastest partition tool, the unique file-moving algorithm helps resize partition 30% to 300% faster than ANY other tools. Want to try?
Detailed steps to resize partition on Windows Server
Note: this is an example resizing volume on Server 2012, the steps are the same in other Windows Server including Server 2003.
Step 1: Download and run NIUBI Partition Editor, right click volume D and select Resize/Move Volume.
Step 2: Drag left border rightwards to shrink D in the pop-up window, or type a value directly.
Here I type 20480MB Unallocated space to shrink from D before it, so 20GB free space is moved out and converted to Unallocated space behind C drive.
Step 3: Right click C drive and select Resize/Move Volume again. Drag right border rightwards to merge the 20GB Unallocated space.
Steps 4: Click Apply button on top left to execute, C partition is resized from 30GB to 50GB.
Is it easy to resize Windows server partition?
Note: if you use hardware RAID such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, do not break the RAID array or do any operations in the RAID controller, just follow the steps above. Actually, to Operating System there is no difference of RAID virtual or physical disk partition.
Video guide to resize volume on Windows server
In some situation for example: there is not enough free space in the adjacent drive D, you can take free space from any other volume in the same disk. Watch the video guide:
Besides the Rollback data protection and fast partition resizing ability, NIUBI Partition Editor is able to extend NTFS partition without rebooting server. Virtual mode helps you preview, cancel and redo any operations before clicking Apply to execute. Unique Cancel-at-Will technology enables you to cancel operations at any progress, it also roll back the serve in ONE second and keep everything intact. Learn More

Jacky was one of the first, and certainly one of the saddest, chimpanzees former Portland veterinarian Sheri Speede ever met. Jacky was an adult male chimpanzee, in his late 30s, and he'd been kept in a roughly 6 x 6 cage for most of his life at a hotel in Cameroon. For some of that time, other chimpanzees were housed in adjoining cages. They were all clearly unhappy but Jacky had hurt hotel employees and was widely thought to be insane. He would regularly beat himself and engage in other abnormal behavior.
Speede said it was his plight that made her sure that her future was in Africa, and that she simply had to try to improve the lives of these primates. In her book Kindred Beings, she tells the story of how she moved from Portland to Cameroon, started In Defense of Animals-Africa, and set up a chimpanzee sanctuary there. She describes a sometimes harrowing process working with the Cameroon government — and in at least one instance, armed officers— as well as local villagers to try to rescue these primates and stop their being poached for "bushmeat." She says while things have improved in Cameroon for chimpanzees, their meat remains valuable and young chimps are still left orphaned.
Do you have experience working with chimpanzees? Have you read Kindred Beings? What questions do you have for Sheri Speede?

When you think of vinyl flooring, the old red and white checkerboard patterns, green 8 sided mosaics and the classic little brown rectangles readily come to mind. Many people also confuse linoleum with vinyl, which was always pretty durable, but mostly uninspiring when you saw it. But don't confuse those old-fashioned memories with the newest luxury vinyl flooring. This is the flooring that will make your dreams come true and your home floors will never have looked better.
Styles and Designs
Those old checkerboard designs are a thing of the past. The new modern designs and styles look so real, that you'll have to explain to house guests (or not) that it really is luxury vinyl. For example, there is a wooden variety of luxury vinyl tiles that look like barn wood, acacia, butternut, driftwood, white washed, and almost every kind of wood pattern types and grain you can think of. But that's just the beginning. You can choose luxury vinyl in such designs as slate, travertine, marble, and then add in the color you want, and your flooring will be transformed from dull and drab to bright and amazing!
Luxury Vinyl Planking Too!
Another option is to go with luxury vinyl planking. It is made of the same material as the tile, but this option literally comes in long planks. It is an incredibly natural looking wood vinyl that when laid down as planks, will even fool the experts into thinking it is real wood.
Little Maintenance
One of the biggest advantages of having luxury vinyl flooring is the little maintenance that is required to keep it looking good. Simple sweeping with a soft broom, wiping up spills promptly, and the occasional mopping with a vinyl tolerant floor cleaner, will keep your luxury vinyl floors looking their best year after year.
Luxury Vinyl Flooring
Luxury vinyl flooring is made with modern materials for resilience, durability, and appearance. It has quickly become the most popular vinyl flooring choice in homes just like yours.
If you have any questions about what luxury vinyl flooring can do for your home, please contact Brenner Floors by clicking on the link, or calling 763-595-9151. Ask for a free estimate and find out just what luxury vinyl flooring can do for you!

I originally wrote and posted the following story in 2008 but am re-posting it now after encountering the news piece by CBS News, Communities Fighting Back Against Congestion-Causing Traffic Apps. Yes, f iction comes to life nine years later!
Virtual Bonanza
"I was in here four years ago Bob, what on earth did you do?"
Chet was talking about the diner's jumping patronage. Just about every booth in the place was filled with people, more than a few with what appeared to be entire families. The grill bar was lined with an assortment of men and the occasional wary woman, some talking with their neighbor, others trying to avoid them. The clattering and general climate of a busy but well organized carnival gave the impression that the three or four waitresses shooting about were not quite enough.
Waving instructions and handing off checks to one of them, Bob stopped to give Chet the story.
"It's a miracle," he poured. "When you were here last, I was 6 months from closing up. I didn't even have regular help coming in on most days."
"What happened then?" Chet innocently demanded.
Chet perked. "GPS? You mean like those Tom Toms in cars or something?"
Chet took off his hat and scratched behind his ear. "I'm not followin' Bob."
"You know these GPS things right? The Tom Toms and so forth?". Bob coupled his hands to illustrate the profile of such a device.
"Why sure Bob, I just suggested as much didn't I? What's that got to do with this turn in business? People findin' ya easier?"
Bob laughed. "Christ Chet, nobody searches for this diner. Let me explain." He found a clear spot on the counter where a patron had just left. He fingered Chet to come closer, then took out a pen and piece of paper from his shirt pocket. Drawing a straight line, he directed Chet to follow. "This is Highway 34, right?"
"Sure, always has been." Chet said, unsure where this was all going.
"Okay, this is the turn onto Highway 92, the juncture, right?" He drew a half circle to represent the complex loop that had existed since the mid-60s.
"Sure is," Bob agreed.
"Okay, now when you're drivin from any point south a' here, and want to get to Exit 202, the one leading into the city center, would you agree that Highway 34 through the juncture is the fastest way to do it?" He drew a dotted line down his rendition of Highway 34, and around the loop, then off to the side.
"Why sure, that's what the highway's for. Gettin' there faster."
Bob waved his finger. "Exactly, that's what most people think, Chet. That's why business was about to go under the last time you were in here."
Chet smiled because he knew there was a surprise conclusion to this explanation, but he still wasn't quite following.
"It's the GPS Chet!". He took a deep breath to excitedly explain in more detail. "PEOPLE think it's faster to take 92 down to 202 to get to the city. The road is there, you're already driving on it, and most people just figure what for all intent and purposes is simple logic - drive into the juncture, then turn off on 202. People have been doing that for decades out of pure intuition."
He turned his piece paper long ways, took his pen back, then drew a dark X. "This 'X' represents the Greasy Fork. He drew it parallel to the line that represented Highway 92.
"People think Highway 92 is the fastest, but thanks to some slight computational thing-dingies in the way GPS calculates the fastest route between two places - or whatever -, I don't pretend to get it, it turns out that Exit 4 here onto MLK Boulevard is ACTUALLY faster than taking that damned highway through the juncture if you're goin' into the city."
He looked at Chet who was finally getting it.
"See, all the people driving around these parts for the first time are following what their GPS is tellin'em. And their GPS is tellin'em, get off Exit 4, go down MLK, and THEN go into the city - skipping that juncture. GPS tells people how to get places the fastest, see?"
He leaned down and finished his drawing to include MLK, which squarely intersected his X, or, the Greasy Fork. "They all drive past HERE Chet. This diner!"
Bob looked at his own drawing and triumphetly punched one hand into his own side and leaned on it. "GPS saved my business. It's like they built a damned highway right out front without actually building a damned highway!"
Chet shook his head, fascinated. "That's incredible Bob. I'm real happy for ya. When did you figure this all out?"
"For awhile I couldn't. People started just showin' up more and more. My supply orders were reaching new pricing tiers, and I just knew it wasn't natural. I really couldn't figure it out, though I wanted to believe that maybe word was getting out about my cookin' at the grill. I shoulda' known better than that, and eventually I did."
Chet laughed.
"I hardly noticed most of the people coming in here had these things in their cars. I'd never had made the connection weren't for the fact I got one myself from Monica."
Monica was Bob's wife of some 10 years. A little younger, a little more tech savvy, she was the great contemporary between them.
"I hooked it up and just let it talk out driving directions. I've been here 40 years, you know, Chet. I don't need help navigating these roads. But it was, you know, neat. And I liked Monica seeing me appreciate it."
"Yeah Bob, they are neat to listen to while you're driving."
"Sure," Bob nodded. "Eventually, I took me a trip downtown from the ranch house I keep over in Sumnter. You know which I'm talking about, right?"
Chet shifted his feet, nodding. "Yep,"
"Well, I'm driving along about to go through the juncture, just like always, just like everybody else still does - those without GPS I mean, and this thing starts telling me to get off at Exit 4. I'm like, what the fu-?, that doesn't make any sense. But you know, I decide to play along with it just for folly. I turn off at Exit 4 just like the voice tells me, then do just as it says to go down MLK."
"At that point it hit me. My own restaurant is sailing past me out my right window and bingo, I get it." He turned to face the bustling restaurant before them and raised his hands. "I got me some kinda virtual bonanza going on here."
"Holy crap," Chet remarks.
"Tell me about it buddy. You know what I lie awake at night worrying about these days? It isn't about making the payroll or paying Henson's bread people. You know what it is now?"
"Tell me," Chet egged on.
"Some god-damned egghead in some laboratory is going to tweak the software or fine tune the mathematical formula, or whatever, that makes all them GPS toys figure MLK from Exit 4 is faster. Because man, if they ever do that - ". Bob finished his explanation by throwing his hands up in some imagined defeat.
"I get your point." Bob said as he placed his hat back on. "Well good for you Bob. You deserve it after all these years."
They shook hands and Bob turned to address a frantic waitress begging for his attention.
Chet mosied up to the front counter and handed over his debit card to the cashier. He looked out to the crowded parking lot and just wondered at the luck of it all.
It wasn't until Chet reached his car, got in, and turned over his engine that he remembered why he had even thought to stop in at his old friend's diner after so many years in the first place. Snapping his seatbelt together, he stared at the GPS box on his dashboard.
"Lucky sonofabitch," Chet thought as he wheeled back and out toward home.

The military machine isn't built to encourage individuality — just ask any LGBT soldier. Or ask retired Brig. Gen. Malham M. Wakin, who headed the philosophy department at the United States Air Force Academy for some 30 years.
"American society generally fosters individualism and the freedoms and rights of the individual," Wakin writes in his book Integrity First: Reflections of a Military Philosopher, published in 2000. "The military profession generally fosters conformity, obedience, hierarchical organization, and subordination of the individual to the unit."
An environment like that tends to undervalue creativity. But creativity — or, more specifically, artistic expression — can ease the intersection of military life and civilian life, and Colorado Springs' artistic community has been on the front line of that battle as of late.
"What I appreciate seeing is when the arts can uncover a multiplicity of human stories and voices," says Jessica Hunter Larsen, curator for Colorado College's I.D.E.A. Space. "So much of what we understand about the military conflict [and] war is couched in political terms, and when it's politicized, it's polemic — you end up on one side or the other. And those lines just become barriers to conversation."
A number of local groups have joined the conversation in just the past couple years. Concrete Couch, Manitou Springs' public-art-works organization, routinely travels to Fort Carson to create projects with military families. I.D.E.A. Space's April exhibition, Active Engagement: Learning About the Military Community in Colorado Springs, featured CC students going out and finding "places where the military community intersected with Colorado Springs," in Hunter Larsen's words.
At the Fine Arts Center, last year's Conflict | Resolution project included space for the works of the Military Creative Expressions art therapy program, in which Pikes Peak Behavioral Health Group (now AspenPointe) and the Bemis School of Art helped members of Fort Carson's Warrior Transition Unit use art as a way to cope with their brain injuries and PTSD. The program continues today, for 15 weeks at a time.
Another part of Conflict | Resolution was the FAC Theatre Company's performance of All My Sons, the Arthur Miller dark classic that revolves around the homecoming of a World War II soldier. On another stage, the Springs Ensemble Theatre produced Welcome Home, Jenny Sutter, about an Iraq war vet returning home in ill health, in July. Even more recently, two ex-soldiers from Fort Carson created an entirely new troupe, dubbed the Old Tribe Theater Project.
Pretty impressive for two distinct communities with very different missions.
"We all have our beliefs, and it's important to act within those belief systems, and act with integrity," Hunter Larsen says. "But we also need to acknowledge shared humanity. And I think the arts are a really good place to have those experiences of shared humanity."

人口・労働・学歴:――大学は,決して過剰ではない―― [in Japanese] Population, Labor Market and Educational Background::University Is Never an Over-investment in Education [in Japanese]
Access this Article

In 1985, an interesting report that helps understand the relation between the population and the labor market was published. This report, 21 Seiki no Sarari-man Shakai, made forecasts on changes in the Japanese employment system toward the year 2000 by forecasting the manpower requirements in various occupations and analyzing the impact of the baby boomers on the labor market.

Looking back over this past forecast and learning from its experience, this paper makes projections in the following two areas.

The first is a forecast of the manpower requirements by industry and occupation in 2015. The report, based on a consideration of both the change of population by age and structural changes in industry, makes clear that there will be a large mismatch of supply and demand in the labor force. In particular, the service industry sector will experience a shortage of 2.34 million workers and the there will be a shortage of 1.67 million professionals. Conversely there will be too many manufacturing and technical workers. These dramatic changes will accelerate mobility in employment, it projects, to a level above the figure projected in the report in 1985.

The second is an analysis of the relation between the number of workers and wages, an indicator of the quality of labor, during three decades of 1976-2006. The main results are as follows.

1) Based on an analysis of relative wages by age group, the ratio of wages of the group in their fifties divided by that of those in their twenties, and of the number of workers in same age groups, it is possible to conclude that the shock of increasing numbers of seniors has been absorbed and that the seniority management system has been maintained through a decline in the wages of seniors relative to the young.

2) Based on the same approach, looking at the relative wages and number of workers by educational background, the relative wage of university graduates to high school graduates has been rising among workers in their thirties and forties even as the number of university educated graduates has increased. This suggests the important policy implication that university is never an over-investment in education because the labor demand for university graduates is rising compared to that for high school graduates within the changing labor market.

As high-rise construction in San Francisco has stalled during the economic downturn, most residents likely view the empty lots left behind as eyesores full of trash, graffiti and weeds.
But when landscape architect Sarah Kuehl passes such spaces, she sees the physical manifestation of the passage of time.
So when she and three other local architects were asked to submit ideas for transforming an empty lot at 399 Fremont St. into a temporary beautification project, they decided to use nature to mark time instead of urban decay.
"We wanted to set up a situation where different things might transform in different ways," group member Adam Greenspan said.
Experts say numerous high-rise building plans have been on hold for years due to the recession, and it could be a decade before some projects resume-- if they ever do.
San Francisco has 5,299 vacant lots that take up 250 acres of space, according to the San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association.
In July, the San Francisco Chronicle asked three teams to create unofficial proposals for vacant lots across the city, and the newspaper featured the designs last summer.
Today, the Fremont Street team presented their design and explained the thought process behind their proposal as part of a series of discussions about empty lots hosted by SPUR.
The Fremont Street team proposed grading the lot into a hilly terrain that would be visible at street level, then covering it with grass and laying giant crane booms parallel to the ground.
They were inspired by the idea of giant objects at rest, and they thought about all the cranes that have gone still since the construction projects across the city were halted.
Their design also featured a birdhouse wall to keep trespassers out and an assortment of differently sized birdhouses hanging from the cranes in order to attract a variety of species.
The bird park would become more beautiful as time passed, the team explained, as birds gathered and plants grew over the structures.
Although the lot would not be open to the public, "It allows people to think about possibilities and adds to the streetscape," Greenspan said.
The design was simply an intellectual exercise meant to inspire and interest the community, and it appears no such projects have been sanctioned in the city.
Private developers are reluctant to allow their empty lots to be transformed in part because supposedly temporary projects sometimes become permanent - such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris and Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco.
No company wants the bad press associated with tearing down the beloved community garden once the development project is finally back on track, the group members explained.
But this "problem of permanence" doesn't have to be a given, group member Owen Kennerly said. Temporary projects that move, or whose removals can be an event in and of themselves, are ideal, he said.
Plus, permanent projects require years of permitting and development, while, "Temporary projects let you try ideas and see if they take hold," Kennerly said.
The group considered hot-air balloons that would move up and down on their own as the temperature changed, which could be moved or released when the high-rise was ready to be built.
They also thought about Burning Man and the idea of building a wooden structure whose purpose would be to be destroyed or dismantled later.
Other temporary project ideas included cover crops, worm farms that would produce soil, or space for trees to be grown in containers and later moved.
"Companies could actually score a marketing coup if they made the coming-down a festival or celebration," Kennerly said.
Mayor Gavin Newsom's Office of Economic and Workforce Development is working on protocols and incentives to encourage developers to allow temporary installations in the empty lots, according to the design team.
Empty Lots Turn Into Art in the City
As high-rise construction in San Francisco has stalled during the economic downturn, most residents likely view the empty lots left behind as eyesores full of trash, graffiti and weeds.

Hamas and Islamic Jihad say that a visit by Obama to the Temple Mount will be a declaration of war on the Islamic world.
by Elad Benari
The Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups threatened on Friday that a visit by U.S. President Barack Obama to the Temple Mount during his upcoming visit to Israel will be a declaration of war on the Arab and the Islamic world.
A Hamas representative in the Al-Aqsa mosque, Mushir al-Masri, even called for a third intifada (uprising) and for Egyptian assistance in the "resistance" if Obama chooses to visit the Temple Mount.
According to the Bethlehem-based Maan news agency, the Gaza-based terrorist organizations made the threats during a protest march on Friday over the riots that broke out earlier in the day on the Temple Mount.
According to the report, Khalid al-Batash, a senior Islamic Jihad member, also called to prevent Obama from visiting the compound.
Obama will be arriving in the region later this month, and PA media has been widely speculating that he plans to visit the site of the Al-Aqsa mosque. However, Washington is not planning such a visit.
Political and religious leaders in the Palestinian Authority have stressed that Obama should not visit the Al-Aqsa mosque compound in a way that might compromise what they called its "Muslim sovereignty."
Sheikh Akrameh Sabri, head of the higher Islamic council and former Grand Mufti of Jerusalem, said that Obama must enter through a gate that was not under Israeli auspices.
"Any visitor is welcome to Al-Aqsa, but they should follow the regulations of the Waqf and enter through the Lions' Gate and not through Mughrabi Gate, to ensure Muslim sovereignty," he said.
Israel liberated the Temple Mount during the 1967 Six Day War, leaving the Waqf in charge of the compound.
The Waqf, in return, has removed every sign of ancient Jewish presence at the Jewish holy site and has consistently destroyed Jewish antiquities on the Temple Mount in a direct violation of a ruling by the Supreme Court.
Several Israeli police officers and Muslim worshippers were injured during the Temple Mount riots on Friday afternoon.
The riots began when the worshippers started throwing rocks at security forces.
Police stationed at the Mughrabi gate broke in and began to throw stun grenades to disperse the stone throwers. The rioters responded with firebombs.
According to the police, nine officers and five protesters were injured during the incident.

About 400 children and parents are expected to drop by Woodard Park in San Antonio Saturday for food, festivities and Mexican popsicles known as paletas.
While there, they'll see displays and information about available after-school programs from groups including the local Boys & Girls Clubs and the mentoring organization Big Brothers Big Sisters.
The event is one of many around the country celebrating National Summer Learning Day, which is designated this year as July 14, but is also celebrated during the week.
More than 900 events and programs are registered with the National Summer Learning Association, which organizes the celebration.
Tony Leverette is director of San Antonio's Eastside Promise Neighborhood, which is sponsoring Paletas in the Park in San Antonio along with United Way. The goal is to connect parents with after-school programs so kids "stay engaged during the summer months so when they go back to school they don't start behind."
The "summer slide" is a big concern of the National Summer Learning Association and many others. The loss of academic skills during the summer contributes significantly to the achievement gap between lower- and higher-income youth, according to the organization. Higher-income youth are more likely to participate in enrichment activities during the summer.
[Related: Protecting the Planet: Summer Programs Are a Great Place to Start]
Kids also gain weight two to three times faster in the summer than during the school year, according to the National Summer Learning Association — a problem for youth who already tend toward obesity.
Steve Lucke, founder of the nonprofit Gardopia, will join Saturday's event at Woodard Park. "We'll be giving away 50 milk-crate gardens," Lucke said.
The crates are lined with landscaping fabric and hold plants that parents and children can take home.
"Our mission is to educate … about nutrition, exercise and gardening," Lucke said.
Summer Learning Day is intended to show how well-run summer programs can aid children's academic and overall well-being, keep them safe and healthy, and support working families.
The San Antonio event will also have a book giveaway.
"Parents may not understand the importance of reading to children," Leverette said.
Libraries are taking a big role in Summer Learning Day. For example, children ages 4 to 9 are invited to the Henry County (Georgia) Public Library south of Atlanta for story time and lunch. Gruff the Dog, the mascot of the local sheriff's office, will appear, and some school supplies will be given away.
At Mammoth Lakes Library in Mammoth Lakes, California, kids will build satellite replicas out of cardboard. The best design wins a prize.
Craig Public Library on Prince of Wales Island in Alaska has a summer reading program for both children and adults in the town of Craig, population 2,100. Kids have taken part in a ninja scavenger hunt to learn about the different sections of the library, looking for small ninja figures in different areas, said librarian Kimberly Baxter.
St. Stephens Community House in Columbus, Ohio, will hold a program called "A Summer Learning Day of Natural Wonder." Kids will learn about geckos, snakes and gators — and why amphibians are necessary for the environment. St. Stephens serves approximately 300 young people ages 5 through 13 this summer, according to Kristin Dillard, youth services director.
In Boston, the city's Summer Learning Community is celebrating a significant expansion of programs. Last year, Mayor Martin Walsh announced a goal of reaching 10,000 kids during the summer. The goal has already been exceeded, with nearly 12,000 students in 120 programs this summer, said Danielle Kim, director of policy and communications for Boston After School & Beyond.

Thank you for visiting the page for the Suswa Maasai Girls Refuge Centre in Kenya. The Suswa Project is run by The Balcraig Foundation and Kenya Children's Home (KCH - see justgiving.com/kch for more information and www.kenyachildrenshome.org.uk ).
The Suswa Project was launched in November 2005 and its aim is to provide for the welfare, security and education of Maasai girls who are rescued from female genital mutilation (FGM) and early arranged marriages, empowering them to change their lives and the lives of future generations. In all cases, the girls are supported by their community and allowed to enrol at Suswa. The Centre is run in partnership with the local community, provding services to the local people as well as the girls in our care.
We have established a sponsorship scheme for the Suswa girls, which costs just £10 a month (£120 a year). This covers all the costs involved in caring for them and providing education and medical attention.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to support Suswa : the Balcraig Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 25% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support.

On this single day of rain and thunder,
surrounded on all sides by sunshine and laughter,
Tor threw his Mjolner;
Summoning brother Thunder and sister Lightning
Welcoming his Warrior home
Rain was tears from a thousand brothers around the world,
A thousand fallen comrades greeting the Champion School is over, teacher rang the bell
Time to go home,
Wait for me there Brother,
play with your friends,
I have classes still, but I'll be home soon
Can you see us from where you are?
Can you see you friends here to send you off?
A hundred friends by the grave,
rain hiding a thousand tears,
Smile will return soon, Brother, I promise
But today I cry
Brother, good bye

While not specifically targeted at fund directors, the article offers valuable takeaways. Directors should use caution in creating or retaining any notes, texts or emails that could be considered an unofficial record of a board meeting, according to the article. Incomplete or cryptic notes could be easily misinterpreted during litigation or undermine the official minutes of the meeting. According to the authors, "properly-drafted minutes can serve the same purpose without the risks inherent in retaining meeting notes. In many cases, notes are informal comments or questions in document margins whose import may be easily misinterpreted by others or even misremembered by the author, since litigation may occur months after the event." The article also discusses emails and the use of electronic board portals, which can create security issues and "difficulties in ensuring that the documents and related notes are deleted in accordance with company policy." The authors suggest that boards should adopt a policy regarding directors' notes, draft minutes, and other board documents that best serves that board's specific needs.

Jason Becker on Creativity: Thinking Outside the (Music) Box
I like to wind two or three music boxes at the same time, and see if I can hear any interesting or haunting harmonies, or maybe some cool note sequences. I must be strange, because I think it sounds beautiful when different songs are playing at the same time with that sweet little instrument.
When I was writing my song, "End of the Beginning," it had started with a simple and gentle piano introducing the main theme. It then built into a big orchestral thing, playing with the theme in grand major keys and dramatic minor keys. After all of that bombardment of sound, I needed it to finish with something gentle, to bring the end back to the beginning.
A brief aside: I have noticed that many metal players and bands only have one speed and one volume. In my opinion, this takes all of the drama out of the heaviness. To me, if music is all hard and fast, it becomes monotonous. It doesn't seem extreme unless there is some kind of contrast. That's the advice I've given to new metal players who have asked me.
Anyway, back to "End of the Beginning." I wanted it to finish with just a quiet music box playing the theme. Back in 1993, there were no music box samples, so when I asked my producer, Dan Alvarez, about it, he started creating a music box sample himself by tearing apart a real music box and recording himself plucking one note at a time. He then played the theme on that sample. It was everything I had hoped for. It's good to surround yourself with brilliant people!
Some people take chords for granted. Let's say you write a nice melody in B minor. You don't always have to play a Bm chord behind the B note. Most jazz players know this, but here is some simple and effective stuff for a nice, emotional change of pace in a normal song. If the note is B, for instance, there are so many different chords with B in them. There is Bm and Bmaj. (Don't ever be afraid to go from minor to major. Sometimes it is a nice switch.) Then there is Em, Emaj, Gmaj, G#m, Fdim, C#7, etc. The list goes on, and this doesn't even include cool jazz chords.
You can also do the opposite, like I did on my song "Electric Prayer for Peace." I started with one note, sustaining through the whole song, and wrote a melody with lots of chords over it. Everything went nicely over that one note.
I recently found a cool old guitar phrase that I recorded back in the day. It was slow and tasty, but had some balls on it. I put it into Logic, and wrote different chords over each note. It had been a neat lick, but now it is a wonderful theme. It has hints of the very early Disney movie music that gives me chills, but with a soaring electric guitar. I am also doing it with a horn section. It will definitely be on my next album.
Try finding a poem that you like, one that moves you in some way, and write a melody to it. This will get you thinking differently about phrasing. Sometimes we need help getting ourselves out of boring habits. Check out some Morten Lauridsen music; he does this a lot. I can't believe I haven't tried this yet, because my dad, Gary, is a beautiful poet.
Try copying a melody that you like, but play it with the phrasing of a different melody. This will be tough and create some weird accents and note separation, but it will get you thinking differently, and you might come up with something great that will inspire a whole song..

Parents and children gardening together: A relationship connector for at-risk families – Part 1
Families with risk factors can connect by gardening together.
As a Michigan State University Extension educator I work with at-risk families. Some families have children removed from the home by Child Protective Services and, as a result, the parents and I work together on early childhood development. I go to a local Department of Human Services and provide education during the parent and child visitation time. At one location, a small outdoor garden was planted to utilize hands-on family interaction. The garden gives the parents an opportunity to practice what they are learning in their parenting education lessons.
Regularly, I hear the participants say that they feel like a nurturing parent during the garden activity because they are able to see their child from a different viewpoint and work closely with them. The opportunity to garden together has become a relationship connector for families and is a form of horticultural therapy.
The MSU Extension Horticultural Therapy Bulletin E-1847 explains, "The main challenge in horticultural therapy is to motivate and stimulate a person through the use of horticulture related activities and, therefore, to foster, maintain and promote emotional, social and physical health. Horticulture is a valuable medium because it helps people adjust to disabilities, learn new skills, renew confidence, have fun and develop self-esteem, which can lead to a new interest in life and improved mental and physical health."
Children learn through their senses. In the garden young children have learned to touch the smoothness of the lamb's ear plant and rub it on their cheek. They also enjoy rubbing their fingers on plants such as mint and lavender. It is exciting to watch them rub the fragrant plants, and then hold their hands up to their noses and to their parent's nose. These activities are especially beneficial for children with developmental delays as well.
By observing children, adults gain insight. When children are in the garden adults can observe where their child's interest leads, gain awareness and help their child develop. The garden now provides magnifying glasses for bug hunts because some children showed indication that they were interested in the bugs and frogs present.
Gardening activities give a parent the opportunity to reflect on their interaction with their child. Understanding a child's capability according to their age, development and cognitive ability is important because having unrealistic expectations can be detrimental for the child.
Children have very different priorities in gardening than adults. Some children would rather pick the dandelions or just dig holes in the garden! Letting a child explore is important for their development. When the adult begins to see things from the child's perspective and enjoy what they are interested in it can foster the child's development and help their relationship grow.

Save time. Save on infrastructure costs. Reach more people with your message.
BROADCAST CLOUD Features
Easy To Use
Rebroadcast Pro's clean user interface design makes even the most complex scheduling tasks fast and intuitive, so as a content owner, you can focus on your content rather than learning a new software tool. Four main windows guide you through an efficient process of organizing your content, creating and editing playlists, scheduling your content for broadcast, and managing your account settings.
Because the solution is cloud-hosted, live streaming capabilities are not dependent or taxing on your own local network infrastructure.
Playlist Editor
The Playlist Editor allows you to group and organize a selection of content to simplify complex scheduling tasks. Set in- and/or out-points on each piece of content and get real-time feedback on the total run time of your playlist. You can even use the same content multiple times in the same playlist, which is great if you want to use different parts of the same clip in a playlist.
Live Video Recording
Schedule one-time or recurring recordings of your live broadcasts directly into your media library. This exciting feature not only accelerates your time to rebroadcast, but also allows you to schedule future content into your playlists. And have no fear; if a playlist encounters content that has not yet recorded, it simply skips over it.
Advanced Scheduling Made Easy
With Non-Recurring broadcast options as simple as Start Broadcast, Scheduled Start, Infinite Loop, and Loop Until, initiating a rebroadcast of your content has never been easier.
For broadcasters with a recurring schedule, we provide several different recurrence patters (Daily, Select Days, and Advanced) with an option that tells the application to repeat your schedule weekly. So if you would like to set up a rebroadcast of your content to run Monday through Friday at 9am, 11:30am, 5pm and 7pm. You can have your broadcast schedule put together in about 30 seconds. If you're broadcasting at different times on different days, the Advanced entry gives you every option you need to customize your schedule.
The genius of the system is that you can update your playlist without having to update your broadcast schedule.
Always Be Live
In your account settings, choose a playlist or media file that will always play if no other content is scheduled for broadcast. Some customers use this to always have a live loop of content playing on their websites. Integrating this with your recurring broadcast schedule allows you to always be live without the pressure of filling a 24/7 schedule.
Standalone Solution
Use Rebroadcast Pro with your own CDN service and players, or use ours for a completely turnkey solution.

On the fateful day of Barbara Bush's funeral, President Trump tweeted, "Heading to the Southern White House to watch the funeral service of Barbara Bush. First Lady Melina has arrived in Houston to pay our respects. Will be a beautiful day!"
This daring move was received with criticism though it's not unusual for sitting presidents to skip funerals. A good example is Obama's failure to show up at Nancy Reagan's Funeral in 2016 and Betty Ford's in 2011 during his term.
Where was the president?
In a brief statement, the White House told BBC that Trump would not attend the funeral to avoid potential "disruptions" due to added security – something that is not new with sitting presidents. However, the concerns here are about what the president was doing during this particular time.
According to a report, President Trump spent a significant amount of time golfing with Japan's Prime Minister on the 21st April 2018 (Barbara's funeral day). Of course, this raised some eyebrows, but it seems the two dignitaries were having pretty serious discussions.
Something interesting happened
Paul Morse, a professional photographer, took an unusual photo of some VIPs in what seems to be the events room. It has four former presidents – Senior and Junior Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. Alongside Laura Bush, Hilary Clinton, Michelle Obama, and Melania Trump. Surprisingly, these people are both republicans and democrats, but they posed for this photo with big smiles on their faces.
Barbara Bush received the respect she deserved
The American people lined up on the highway to pay their last respects. They respectably behaved themselves and dressed decently. Some people came in their suits and were seen to be dressed in a solemn manner. In the end, Barbara Bush united many Americans as they gave her a decent send-off.

Our First Burning Brothers Review
100% Dedicated Gluten Free Brewery
This our first beer review of Burning Brothers Brewing, a dedicated gluten free brewery based in St. Paul, Minnesota. I'm happy to have finally gotten my hands on a few of their beers (Yep! That means there's more to come…) because I've heard some pretty great things about their brews.
The most exciting part about Burning Brothers Brewing is that their beer is brewed in a 100% gluten free facility, making it as safe as it gets for Celiacs. There's a lot of gluten free (and gluten reduced) beers out there these days–but only a select few original from a brewery that can confidently say that there is no chance of contamination.
Burning Brothers Brewing is one of those breweries. So let's get on to this week's beer, shall we? Tonight we will be tasting their flagship ale, the Pyro American Pale Ale.
The Taste Test
Pyro American Pale Ale by Burning Brothers Brewing
This naturally gluten free beer pours a lovely toasted orange color with a very generous carbonation level. There is no issue getting this ale to foam…must pour gently. ;) The aroma is hoppy, and the texture is crisp and perfectly clear. I can read this exact text straight through the glass when holding it up to my computer screen.
The Pyro American Pale Ale is a bubbly bitter delight. It has a slightly tart citrusy profile, with a sharp dose of bittering hops. Burning Brothers boasts this ale as "an American twist on an English bitter". I would have to agree. It's lighter on the body and heavy on the hops with that sour quality that is common in English brews.
I like this American Pale a lot. But if you have an aversion to bitter…this beer may be too much for you. The hop profile lingers long, which keeps the sorghum notes from taking over. Yes, this beer does contain sorghum. Which typically tends to impart a not-so-pleasant aftertaste, but this one doesn't seem to bother me.
The current Burning Brothers Brewing website doesn't identify the IBU content of this ale. However, I found an old flyer online that advertises it as 37 IBU. This seems shockingly low to me (given the taste), so it has me wondering if they've changed their recipe since originally introducing this American Pale Ale to market.
This beer can be purchased in stores in pint-sized cans, typically packaged in a 4-pack. I do prefer these 16 oz. cans to the 12 oz. ones sported by some other breweries. The 12 ounce ones seem to just go too fast, whereas a full pint really gives you some time to enjoy it. ;)
So far, I really like what I'm tasting from Burning Brothers. I'm looking forward to tasting more.
Which one should I test next?
