HULL City boss Steve Bruce has demanded an apology from out-of-favour defender Paul McShane.
The Republic of Ireland international, who is a fans' favourite and the club's longest serving player, has featured just six times this season and has not been seen since the Burnley defeat on November 8.
Since then relations appear to have deteriorated significantly, with the 28-year-old sent to train with the development squad.
He has also taken to retweeting fan comments about his continued exile, an act which has not gone down well with his manager.
And while Bruce would not elaborate on the precise reasons for the current stand-off he was clear that there was only one way to resolve it.
"I heard all this nonsense about what's on Twitter and the rest of it but it's quite straightforward: Paul knows exactly why he's training with the Under-21 squad at the moment," said Bruce.
"He's been quite quick to reveal that he is in there and I hope he comes out and tells the reason why.
"If he apologises to myself and to the squad then he will come back into the fold. It's entirely up to Paul."
Unless McShane works quickly he can expect to miss out once more against former club Sunderland on Boxing Day.

What happens when you take a talented French director, his model cum singer cum actress wife, one of the greatest actors of the 70's and makes a movie about one of the most renowned saints of France? You get a giant mess is what. The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc is loaded with lots of talented people, is filmed gorgeously and is mostly a lousy, muddled film.
The story of Joan of Arc (or Jeanne d'Arc as they call her in France) is well known just about everywhere. Joan is a poor peasant living in a small village in France during the Hundred Years War with England. She begins seeing heavenly visions that tell her she is God's messenger to rid her country of the bloody English. Somehow she convinces Charles, the Dauphin with visions of being king, to give her an army to storm Orleans. Using unconventional methods she leads her army to victory. The Dauphin is crowned king and mostly forgets about Joan. She leads an unsuccessful siege on Paris is given over to the English, tried and burned at the stake, several hundred years later she is sainted by the Catholic church. The Messenger covers most of this relatively faithfully, and beautifully.
Luc Besson is a talented director filming such classics as Le Femme Nikita and The Professional. His talent is presented here in his ability to create interesting and beautiful shots, but is lost in creating a cohesive story. He doesn't seem to know what to do with the story about the young saint. In parts it seems earnest in it's recreation of this revolutionary with heavenly visions, but then it sinks into near parody of itself and in the ends sinks towards a reinventing of the events themselves asking Joan herself whether or not her visions were real or mere psychosis.
Milla Jovovich is a pretty face who has mostly been in forgettable, silly comedies and the Resident Evil franchise which might as well be considered a silly comedy for all its worth. Here, she has two modes of acting, a strange amphetamine delivery of her lines as if she couldn't spit them out fast enough, or a snarled scream as if acting was merely being the loudest person on the set. It is not a nuanced performance. For the entirety of the film she seems completely out of place.
The battle or Orleans is tame at best. There are virtually no scenes of real ambitious spectacle. We are given nothing to inform us of her revolutionary forms of combat. Instead her method seems to be screaming a lot and jumping a horse over the enemies fence. Later the storming of Paris is so humorous it is sad. Joan screams and screams that she needs back up while a few soldiers randomly knock on what must be the Paris gates. These soldiers are so bewildered a pathetic looking they seem more out of a Monty Python sketch than a serious film about war.
Beyond the visual elements the only saving grace is Dustin Hoffman's performance as the Grand Inquisitor or Conscience. It is a fine performance from a fine actor, but it is a peculiar character. He spends his time questioning Joan's own sanity. Could her visions in fact be some form of psychosis or fantasy? Could crucial moments in her life like finding a sword in a field in fact be simple coincidence? Good questions in the history of the real Joan of Arc, but they seem out of place here. Nowhere in the film are we led to believe Joan is nothing but the real thing. Why bring these questions into play during its climactic ending. The film would have worked much better believing whole heartedly in Joan's purpose and vision. Or questioning her visions from the beginning, a revisioning of the myth could be very interesting. Instead it kicks its legs out from under itself by bringing her into question so late in the film.
What we get in this portrayal of Joan of Arc is some pretty visuals and a find performance from Dustin Hoffman. Try renting one of Luc Besson's earlier films and pick up anything from Hoffman's hey day in the 70's, they will be worth your dollar and your time far more than anything thing to be found here.

text: More often then not we are always craving a sense of travel and an escape from the city (I know that is the case for me). We all usually travel to escape or because we crave a sense of adventure and want to go to the most exotic or far away places that we often forget to look at destinations that are located in the backyard of our own city. Bowen Island is one of my favourite places to get away in BC (I have been twice) and the best part is its less than 2 hours away from Vancouver. (more…)

Glover Teixeira wins by submission on UFC 160
Once again Glover Teixeira managed to keep his winning streak in his MMA career. This time the Brazilian and Danbury resident MMA fighter, won by a guillotine choke in the first round.
Glover started the fight with some good striking. After the first takedown attempt, Glover mixed up with some more strivings until he finally got James Te Huna, his opponent, to the ground. From there Glover worked his ground and pound until he ceased the opportunity and finished Te Huna with a beautiful guillotine choke.
Glover is a BJJ Black Belt under our head coach Luigi Mondelli. They started training together in 2003. After he got is black belt, Glover moved to California to help Chuck Liddell and to train under John Hackleman, legendary MMA coach. Glover is back living and training in Danbury before his fight camps.
Congratulations Glover, we from Connecticut are very proud of you.

A Long Island jury convicted a black father of manslaughter Satuday night, rejecting the claim he was defending his family from a "lynch mob" when he shot a white teenager.
The panel deliberated for four days - and had said on Friday they were deadlocked - before finding John White, 54, guilty of gunning down 17-year-old Daniel Cicciaro Jr. last year.
"We're going to Disney. Wooo!" the victim's father, Daniel Cicciaro Sr., crowed as he left the Arthur M. Cromarty Court Complex in Riverhead Satuday night.
"My son is finally vindicated," said the teen's mother, Joanne Cicciaro, who is separated from her slain son's father. "The truth prevailed.
"It was never about race. It was about individuals and individuals' actions."
Cicciaro's relatives and supporters chanted "Dan-O! Dan-O!" outside the courthouse and honked their horns in the parking lot. The White family exited somberly.
White, who also was convicted of criminal possession of a weapon, had maintained that the shooting was accidental. He remains free on bail until sentencing, when he could face a prison term of five to 15 years.
White had no comment Satuday night after being found guilty by a jury of 11 whites - six men, five women - and one black man. The jurors didn't speak either.
White's attorney, Fred Brewington, called the verdict "disappointing for African-Americans."
"You have to survive in Suffolk County, where people can roll up on your house at 11:30 at night, threaten you, threaten your family, curse at you, call you a n----r, and you've got to take it," Brewington said, pledging to appeal.
The tense jury deliberations followed a trial in which defense attorneys referenced the Ku Klux Klan in arguing the shooting was justified.
Reaction in the courtroom was muted after Judge Barbara Kahn warned the spectators against "public displays of approval or disapproval when the verdict is read." The jury rendered its decision at 9:10 p.m.
Speaking afterward, prosecutor Thomas Costello addressed speculation that the jury rushed to a decision ahead of the Christmas holiday.
"We have this verdict with at least one day to spare, so I don't think that's a factor," he said.
White testified during the trial that he was trying to protect his family when he brandished a gun last year after a group of angry white teens showed up at his doorstep late on Aug. 9, 2006, to confront his then-19-year-old son, Aaron.
John White had been sleeping inside his home in Miller Place, a predominantly white community in eastern Long Island, when Aaron woke him to say the youths were headed to their house, bent on beating him up because they wrongly believed he had threatened to rape Cicciaro's friend Jennifer Martin.
Minutes earlier, Aaron White had gotten into a fight with the boys after being asked to leave a house party.
The elder White first grabbed a shotgun, but then opted instead for a pistol he kept in his garage.
He and his son, who had picked up the shotgun, walked to the end of the driveway to confront the angry gang, who hurled racial epithets.
John White said his gun went off accidentally after Cicciaro lunged for it.
"He wanted to stop these people who said they were coming to kill his son," Brewington said in closing arguments.
Suffolk County Assistant District Attorney James Chalifoux said White should have simply locked the door and called police - and not gone outside to confront the teenagers with a gun.
He also sought to downplay the racial element, telling jurors the Brooklyn-raised White never said anything about a lynch mob until the case went to trial.
The defendant's wife, Sonia White, said only, "We are blessed by the Lord," as she left Satuday night.

Instagram Announces Slideshow Feature
Picture This…
You've just returned from the most amazing day outdoors and there's no shortage of great photos. You arrive home excited to post on Instagram and show all your friends the adventurous day you had.
You scroll through your photos, looking for the one photo that will define your day. But wait a minute, these are all so great. How are you going to pick just one? It would be unheard of to make multiple posts about the same event, that's just not how instagram works.
Well, fear not friends, because now you can publish several pics (up to ten to be exact) in the same post. That's right– One post, ten pictures!
Instagram has graced the world of social media with the new galleries feature, a new alternative for posting your photos and videos. Two stacked photo icons in the top right corner of the post let viewers know that the post is a gallery of images, and they can scroll through the gallery by swiping to the left, to the left (sorry, Beyonce is still on the brain).
The creative applications of this new feature are endless– here at Compass, we've already used it to make a themed post to show the world our love for Compass Green (check it out here!)
Gone are the days of cramming your photos into a collage or having to resort to #throwbackthursday to post your vacation pics. We don't know what more we could ask from Instagram (we have zoom, stories and one minute videos, after all) but we can't wait to see what's next.
Thank you, Instagram, from #teamcompass

LLM degrees, also called ML or Master of Laws degrees, are given after postgraduate study in the legal field at various institutions throughout the world. In some areas, this is the required degree in order to professionally practice law.
What is an LLM in Property Law? This advanced degree delves into the legal issues specific to real estate and property development. Among the courses that may be offered are tax law, real estate regulations, development of both residential and commercial properties, negotiations, planning, construction law, finance and acquisition, and landlord-tenant law. It may be possible for students to take further electives in a specific area that interests them, such as specializing in commercial property law.
Achieving a master's in property law can help enhance a student's skills in communication and negotiation as well as improve attention to detail in general, all of which can help not only on the job but in interviewing successfully. With the advanced focus on the legal ramifications revolving around real estate and its development, graduates may be sought after by companies that work in or wish to expand within that field.
Costs for LLM degrees vary greatly and can depend on where the institution is located and the length of time for completion. In some cases, the program offered may be online. When comparing programs, it's a good idea to consider both the cost of the degree as well as cost of living expenses.
Some graduates with an LLM in Property Law degree go on to work in a legal office or department within a larger company as a lawyer, legal consultant, researcher, or contract writer. Others may find work within real estate development companies as negotiators, consultants, or even contractors, depending on their other experience. Other organizations that hire these types of positions include hospitals, hotels, banks, manufacturers and universities. Environmental advocacy organizations can also require this type of assistance.

Saturday, November 14, saw the opening of Botanical Dimensions Ethnobotany Library in Occidental, CA, a beautiful 90-minute drive north of San Francisco in West Sonoma County.
Botanical Dimensions is the non-profit founded by Kathleen Harrison and Terence McKenna
in 1985.
"Ethnobotany—the relationship between plants and people—is the primary lens we look through in choosing our projects. Ethnobotany is a vast, branching area of study, filled with marvels, challenges and solutions.
The original mission of Botanical Dimensions was "to collect, protect, propagate and understand plants of ethno-medical significance and their lore." We do all that and more. We work to preserve biodiversity, respecting natural ecosystems and traditions of ecological knowledge. We appreciate, study, and educate others about plants and mushrooms that are felt to be significant to cultural integrity and spiritual well-being."
"Our collection begins with one thousand books and journals from the collection of ethnobotanist Kathleen Harrison and several other generous donors.
Our volumes include many aspects of the plant-human relationship: botany, mycology, ecology, native practices, history of food, traditional plant uses, herbalism, pharmacology, anthropology, mythology, art, ritual, shamanism, visionary species, and many diverse world views."
Kat Discusses Ritual
Botanical Dimensions' Mazatec Project in the states of Northern Oaxaca and Southern Puebla, Mexico, involves the study of traditional and contemporary applications of plants and mushrooms that are used in Mazatec daily life, by midwives in birthing, for nutritional and symbolic food, in religious ritual as offerings and tools, and in the shamanic healing and prayer ceremonies led by curanderas and
curanderos, or healers.
In 1955, Oaxaca curandera Maria Sabina introduced psilocybin mushrooms to Western society via banker and amateur mycologist R. Gordon Wasson.
containing mushrooms.
"Each species of Psilocybe mushroom gives a different experience due to its ratio of psychoactive alkaloids."

Tsepz, 14 Aug 2008No it's not a lot better :-) . LOL! The best 3.2mp camera!!? No sorry thats not true. The N78'... moreThe ui of n81 is similar to n78. You never had n78 so you think that fp2 is all about themes effect. You turn off themes effect and compare the n81 and n78 ui. It's like comparing windows 2000 with windows vista! I don't see any point of buying N81 for a premium price. It's not even near close of n91's audio quality. The equalizer is only 5-band just like n7x.
N81 is the most boring of all current phones. You should not pay 400 euros just for music alone. No matter what angle you look at it, it's really not worth it. I can't even think why I come up with this idea of comparing N78 with N81. N81 is only a crippled version of N78. Pls don't buy N81 or else you're gonna regret it.
N78 looks like a pregnant frog....and its keypad is to small..
N81 is Ok but its still needs money spending on it
hey people....Please select the best among the given.....fulfilling my gaming and music experience and looks.....that i expect out of a phone.....
N81 or Samsung i450 or W760 or any other.....
i Jus want aan alround best fone ranging around 15000
Anonymous, 01 Jan 1970No it's not a lot better :-) . LOL! The best 3.2mp camera!!? No sorry thats not true. The N78's camera lense and sensor is smaller than the sensor found in the 2mp SE K750, W800, W900 and P990, and is A LOT smaller than the N73, K800 and K810's, images taken by N73 and K810 look FAR better, so NO. ACTUALY the N78 is using the cheapest 3.2mp camera unit, with a 4.6mm focal length its quality is nearly as poor as the N80 3mp fixed focus camera. Like i said the N78 has average things thrown in to it, its just a mixed bag made for any average joe that wants an all in one package for a low price. The N81 is a niche device aimed specificaly at an audience that dont need GPS, and dont care for a high MP camera, but want a Smartphone that combines High Audio Quality withan amazing sonic experience, great Ngage Gaming in landscape, good Movie player and amazing internet capabilities. Like i said in terms of entertainment the N81 and N78 are not realy different if at all, the N78's camera is very average for a 3.2mp. The N81 with the V20 FW is very similar to a N78 in UI, realy not much seperating these two. Rather get a N82 if you dont like a N81 or vice versa.
It seems so,but yes the N81 is more bassy and is slightly louder. Its got an amazing treble/bass balance.
I have been using this phone for about a month now, and I simply adore it....
Iloved the 2.4inch 16M LCD, beside that I love the web browising experience and the music is great too. I do agree with the review of gsm guys that the only flaw in this phone is the camera, which is reasonable for a 2M and the keypad, otherwise its fun using this phone.
Very biased opinion it is to say that N81 and N78 don't differ much in image quality but only in image resolution. N81 has the worst 2MP camera from a Symbian phone. N78 has the best 3.2MP camera backed up by a professional optics and lens, from a Symbian phone. And you will say they don't differ much? Then I would say, an average person wouldn't hear much difference in audio quality between N81 and N78! It's very much easier to spot the difference in image quality than audio quality. N81 should've been named N7x and N78 has all the rights to be an N8x. Anyways, that's just labelling. What matters most is N78 is clearly a lot better than N81 in every aspect.
Tsepz, 14 Aug 2008Oh please. Like Jon said and ive said there is not much difference between these phones. Fact ... moreFound some info about n79 and n85. Apparently the release date is the 18th of August. Check out this site. http://www.intomobile.com/2008/08/14/nokia-to-launch-two-new-nseries-devices-on-on-august-18th-n79-n85.html
By the way, could you please tell me the difference between the 5310 and n81 in terms of sound quality. Ihear they are almost the same when it comes to maximun volume,but the n81 has more bass. Is this true?

Anonymous, 14 Aug 2008N81 is the worst nseries phone. Doesn't have the right to be in the N8x line. The N78 is a lot... moreOh please. Like Jon said and ive said there is not much difference between these phones. Fact is the N81 is the current Ngage and Music Flagship Nseries so it deserves to be a N8x. Whereas the N78 is just a mid-range where they threw in a lot of average things the FM Transmiter being the only big feature and they made the UI look good. NOKIA no exactly what they're doing.
Clear your web browsers cache, move Messages to memory card and make sure nothing is installed on the internal mem.

Anonymous, 14 Aug 2008N81 is the worst nseries phone. Doesn't have the right to be in the N8x line. The N78 is a lot... moreWell, you are entitled to your opinion.
But the fact still remains that N81's sound quality is a lot better than N78, though N78 has a better camera.
Honestly, I tried N78 and didn't notice much difference except for the size of the photo.
That's my opinion, and you have yours, I respect that :)

How you doing?
It's been quite some time since I last posted in this forum.

Yep. The phone is a lot more stable, it boots up faster, and the Navi wheel is more responive. Theres also been an increase in battery life,although it was already great, and its become lite on RAM useage, even when using the built in Web browse, which has also become faster.

Things have been so busy lately that I've not been able to keep up with blogging. Art Gallery of Viera's move and getting settled in, followed by my search, as Central Brevard Art Assoc.'s scholarship chair, for a recipient for the 2012 Youth Scholarship Award has thrown me way behind. But here is a pic of our new gallery location. It is so nice now to have all of our artists able to present their work in their own individual space. Tomorrow, I'll be removing my work from the Cocoa Library, and I'll be bringing new work to the gallery next week. My recent 1st Place Award at Titusville Art League's show has me totally excited to get busy creating some new work and I just found out that Paula Steere will be starting her Life Drawing classes at the Satellite Beach Rec. Center this coming Tuesday.

If I were to approach the subject of designing Blogger templates, many people would moan about the repetitive, boring and dreary styles commonly associated with BlogSpot blogs.
It's time to rethink these assumptions! In recent months, many talented and creative bloggers have created amazing and beautiful designs for their Blogger powered blogs which certainly offer WordPress designers a run for their money!
For your visual pleasure, here are ten remarkable and original designs which break the mold of Blogger design conventions.
1. Blog Akumi
A blend of illustration, torn paper and grunge with a hint of animation and excellent choices of colors in the scheme.
2. Great Design
This design makes me think of a designer's sketchbook, where aspects of the design are put to paper before being committed as digital art:
A striking grunge style header with handwritten elements in the sidebar.
Clean, fresh and stylish as fashion blogs should be!
Elegance in simplicity…
6. Max Black
An artistic twist of the two column template which combines elements of grunge and pastel colors to deliver a refreshingly beautiful design:
7. Los Malditos Samurias de Gallaecia
The oriental style is consistent throughout with incredible attention to small details.
This is a beautiful example of the trend for illustrations in blog design which perfectly accompanies Doug's established "brand" as a designer:
A portfolio of beautiful photography. You'd be forgiven for failing to recognize this as a blog!
10. Creativica
A modern twist on the professional blog style, with a flash header and attention to all details in the layout.
11. Woork
Antonio Lupetti's blog has undergone a recent redesign which offers a beautifully simple and professional approach to blog presentation:
12. SketchBlog
When I first saw this design showcased on Smashing Magazine, I couldn't believe it was actually powered by Blogger! Rob Sheridan's fabulous design has also recently been showcased as a Blogger "Blog of Note". You really need to see this blog in action to truly appreciate the attention to detail and the overall effect of this design.
The best way to realize the potential of our CMS is to push the boundaries and break the mold of popular conventions. As more creative bloggers and designers turn their attention to Google Blogger, we can only expect the quality of such designs continue to improve.

Miser's tale is right on the money
Sitting at the tip of the Wharf Theatre, looking out across the water and discussing acting with John Gaden is one of those surreal experiences, like hunting crocs with Steve Irwin or sparring with Kostya Tszyu - and less dangerous only in the physical sense.
The actor's conversation brims with knife-edged observations. Ask Gaden a question and the answer arrives back circuitously, usually about five minutes after you have asked the next one. He speaks in whirls and boomerangs. But they're sharp.
He hates, for example, to hear the Sydney Theatre Company called "elitist" because subscriptions are expensive.
"The word 'elitist' is lazy term for people saying that theatre, as it always has, tends to play to the people who want to see it and who want to see themselves reflected in it. Brecht, for all his talk about how theatre should be popular like football, had 3 million in a Swiss bank account. And, now that you mention it, football is getting more and more like theatre anyway." Bang.
As an actor, Gaden has been at the peak of his craft for many years, and as an administrator he has helped mould Australian theatre into its existing form. From the pioneering days of the Belvoir Street Theatre in the 1980s to recent stage productions such as Cloudstreet , Waiting For Godot and Copenhagen, Gaden's career is threaded through Australia's theatrical history. Now in his sixties, he looks a little weathered, a little introverted, but keen-eyed. He teases unusual ideas from ordinary things.
To illustrate the way stage actors suspend disbelief, Gaden points out a man working on the apartment block being built at the Walsh Bay wharf, adjacent to the STC a hundred metres from us.
"I'm watching this guy over here, and it's interesting because I want to know what he's doing and why he's doing it," says Gaden. "It's purely because he's unaware of me watching. You see it with kids. The minute you see kids know that they're being watched, they become very self-conscious and cute. It's always more interesting when they don't know.
"So, as an actor, if you know you've got a full house watching, you've got to find a way to maintain that innocence in front of them. You've got to be absorbed, childlike. It's an odd thing, and very hard to do, but of course you work at it all the time."
While Gaden believes Australian theatre has, on the whole, never been healthier, the issue of pricey subscriptions keeps bobbing up.
"It tends to mean that the people who can afford to buy subscriptions and can afford to come to the theatre are reasonably well-off middle class people," he says. "It probably means that there would be people who would want to come and can't always afford a ticket, but then that would apply to lot of other things in life as well. Theatre can't be a charity, unfortunately, and a lot of the theatre companies do try to offer concessions and so on. So, I'm afraid it's just inevitable that the audience comes from a certain socio-economic group.
"Then again, it has always been like that. I think the 'hoi polloi' idea of Shakespeare is a bit of a myth. A lot of Shakespeare's plays were performed for guilds of lawyers. And in the theatres like the Globe there was a pit, the hoi polloi came there, but there were also other people watching and Shakespeare also had aristocratic patrons. Theatre is not populist, I mean there must have been whole parts of Shakespeare that the contemporary crowd did not understand."
Gaden's latest task is playing the title role in the Sydney Theatre Company production of Moliere's 17th century farce The Miser, co-starring Julie Forsythe, Eloise Oxer, Steve Rodgers and Brett Stiller.
"Here you've got a play that's written in 1668 by Moliere, who's running a theatre company which works at the court of Louis the XIVth in Paris. So what's that got to say to us?" he asks.
"When I was approached about this I just thought, 'well, I'll have a good read and see what I think'. The wonderful thing is that, through this play written in 1668, you suddenly recognise all these people you know. There is the problem of rich, older husbands and younger wives. There's the problem of children fighting over their parents over money, there's the hypocrisy of people saying one thing and doing another.
"There are all these things that we think we're better about and yet we're not. Spend any time in some of the watering holes of the Eastern Suburbs and you could cast this play. They're all there - the rich elder fathers, the young wives, the disaffected children, the butlers and servants who are making a living out of telling stories about it. It's all there.
"And I find it immensely satisfying and reassuring that, for all we think we're an advanced society in terms of our social relationships and so on, we haven't changed. We haven't changed. I love that - it doesn't stop you trying to ask the questions and ridicule the world and so on, but it's a kind of confirmation of human frailty. You can read the histories of that time and you can think how very different people were then. They weren't."
The Miser , directed by Jean-Pierre Mignon, opens at the Drama Theatre, Opera House, on Friday. There are previews today and tomorrow.

In 1873, there were more than 4,000 breweries in the United States. That number dropped to zero with the arrival of Prohibition in 1920, and although a handful survived the Volstead Act, there were fewer than 300 in the entire country for most of the 20th century. Today, the industry has bounced back — to more than 6,200 breweries, most of which are small and independent craft breweries with numbers that continue to climb dramatically each year. Still, if they were people, the oldest breweries in most states would hardly be old enough to buy a beer. Here are 20 that likely wouldn't have to show ID.

Founded: 1988
City: Boston
One of the best-known brewers in the world, Samuel Adams gives a tour every 30 minutes and more frequently on busy weekends. The hourlong tours are free and include a complimentary sampling of three beers, although a $2 donation for charity is suggested. The brewery is a lab of experimentation where every beer in the line was created — except the original (and one seasonal batch), which was concocted in the founder's kitchen even further back, in 1984.
Founded: 1986
City: Juneau, Alaska
It may be hard to believe, but one of the oldest breweries in the United States was born the same year as the Olsen twins. The Alaskan Brewing Co. began in a 2,000-square-foot facility shared with an indoor driving range. Today, it bottles suds in a 47,000-square-foot home of its own and has a loyal local following. Behind-the-scenes brewery tours are free and include complimentary 2-ounce tastings.
Founded: 1985
City: Amana, Iowa
Just over a century passed between Amana breweries, but three men succeeded in reviving an Iowan tradition and stuck with it for 15 years before selling to a new trio. The current owners took it a step further, opening an authentic German bierhalle, the Millstream Brau Haus, in 2016.

Founded: 1984
City: Portland, Oregon
Bridgeport Brewing creates craft beers such as its Original IPA, Kingpin, Stumptown IPA, Tiny Horse Pilsner, and Cream Ale. Formerly a rope factory, the brewery pumped out 600 barrels its first year. That number has climbed to more than 100,000 barrels annually.
Founded: 1983
City: Portland, Maine
The self-proclaimed first craft brewery in New England, D.L. Geary borrows from British tradition. When the company incorporated, there were only 13 microbreweries in the entire United States. Today, visitors can tour Maine's oldest brewery — and sample some beer fresh from the tap — Thursday to Monday.
Founded: 1981
City: Seattle
While the original Red Hook Brewpub in Woodinville, Washington, recently closed, beer lovers can still visit the Redhook Beerlab in Seattle, which features 16 taps of rotating small-batch beers brewed on site. The brewery functions as an experimental testing ground for new brews primarily for the on-site pub — including the new Washington Native series, which showcases ingredients exclusively sourced from the state — to develop recipes that may later be available elsewhere.
Founded: 1919
City: Krebs, Oklahoma
Choc Beer has nothing to do with chocolate; the name is short for Choctaw Indian Beer. Oklahoma was a Prohibition state upon entering the Union in 1907, and the state's trade in illegal liquor — often called Choc beer — flourished until legalized booze was finally voted in.
Founded: 1896
City: San Francisco
Promoting itself as "America's first and oldest craft brewery," Anchor brews and bottles every beer, including its trademark Anchor Steam, in the same location. The oldest brewery in California prides itself on combining generations-old traditional copper brewing tools with state-of-the-art quality control.
Founded: 1883
City: San Antonio
The Lone Star Brewery was created by legendary beer baron Adolphus Busch. Lone Star closed for Prohibition, reopened in 1933, and was christened the "National Beer of Texas" in 1940. In 1965, the brewery helped Texas emerge as a true beer state when it began making more than 1 million barrels a year.
Founded: 1878
City: Rochester, New York
Home to the original Genesee, Genny Light, and Genesee Cream Ale, the Genesee Brewery shut down during Prohibition as brewmaster Louis A. Wehle turned baker — then back again as soon as he legally could. The site includes an outdoor area with dozens of massive tanks, including 22 that can hold a full 9,000 barrels of beer.
Founded: 1873
City: Golden, Colorado
Every drop of Coors Banquet beer is brewed in the same location where Adolph Coors began his operations in 1873 — now the largest single-site brewery on the planet. Visitors are welcome to take a free 30-minute tour showing the process from start to finish, ending in a cold, tap-fresh sample beer.
Founded: 1867
City: Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin
The Leinenkugel brand has remained in the family for six generations, since Jacob Leinenkugel and John Miller began operations 150 years ago. Today, visitors are welcome to tour the working brewery for fees starting at $10, which includes five 5-ounce samples or two 12-ounce pours and a complimentary glass.
Founded: 1862
City: Frankenmuth, Michigan
The state's first craft brewer has stood in its original location since it was founded during the Civil War. Visitors are invited seven days a week to check out the Gold Medal Taproom, where they can try 21 draft beers from a selection of 36 craft brews rotated throughout the year.
Founded: 1860
City: New Ulm, Minnesota
Schell's Brewery dates back to the year Lincoln was elected and the Pony Express began delivering mail. The company's philosophy remains "the world can never have enough beer," and it has lived up to that credo by bottling more than 100 varieties. Visitors can tour the brewery for $5.
Founded: 1857
City: Stevens Point, Wisconsin
Billing itself as the "the third-oldest continuously operating, privately owned brewery in the United States," Stevens Point lets visitors sample not only the latest Point craft beers, but also Ciderboys Hard Cider and gourmet sodas on hourlong tours costing $5 for adults and $3 for kids 5 to 11. Younger children get in free.
Founded: 1855
City: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The original Miller brewery boasts an all-star German lineage that involves the Miller, Coors, and Leinenkugel families. The brewery offers a free, one-hour tour that includes a walk through the legendary Miller Caves, as well as a video depiction of Frederick Miller's arrival in Wisconsin and a display of modern brewing techniques.
Founded: 1852
City: St. Louis
The oldest and largest Anheuser-Busch brewery in the country, the St. Louis location is home to three National Historic Landmarks. The site was chosen for its proximity to the Mississippi River, as well as its massive population of German immigrants and location near caves that served as refrigerators before mechanized cooling. Tours are available on most days excluding holidays.
Founded: 1848
City: Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Jacob Best's brewery churned out 300 barrels of beer during its inaugural year, 1848, and took another big step in 1882: tying iconic blue ribbons around the beers that won awards. Today, Pabst has more than two dozen brands under its umbrella, including classics such as Old Milwaukee, Colt 45, and, of course, Pabst Blue Ribbon. Tours are $10 for adults, $8 for military and students with ID.
Founded: 1845
City: Monroe, Wisconsin
Minhas, brewer of Boxer Lager, boasts of being very old yet having "the youngest craft brewery owners in the world" when they purchased company in 2006 (as well as being very large — the ninth-largest brewery by volume in America as of 2015, according to the Brewers Association). Tours cost $12 and include the brewery, a massive museum, and a look at ancient brewing and distilling techniques.
Founded: 1831
City: Pottsville, Pennsylvania
America's oldest brewery began making only 600 barrels a year in the days of hand-hewn fermentation caves, before mechanized refrigeration. Now it operates below capacity, letting other Yuengling sites do the heavy lifting while it welcomes tourists — showing them not just the caves and brewery but also the creamery built in 1920 as Prohibition went into effect. The hour-plus tours are free.

Motorini has added the new GP50 scooter to its range of high-spec, sensibly priced learner-legal models.
The Motorini GP125 scooter has proven to be popular with dealers and customers alike, providing easy twist-and-go performance and economy in an attractive, sports-styled package.
Against recent market trends, Motorini dealers have been requesting a 50cc version of the GP design for some time, and the company has responded with the introduction of a feature-packed, stylish machine utilising the same reliable and proven four-stroke engine and fully automatic transmission used in its popular XP50 model.
The GP 50 is available in the same cobalt metallic blue and pillar box red colour schemes as its 125cc big brother. It also features the same, easy-rolling and stable 12" wheels, hydraulically damped suspension front and rear, ventilated hydraulic disc brakes, clear MPH dials, a large LED rear light, silicone fork protectors, sleek but wide mirrors, a rear grab handle which accommodates top box fitting, a durable non-slip seat, under-seat storage and polished alloy levers.
From a dealer perspective, as with all Motorini models, the new GP50 arrives fully built and can roll from delivery crate to showroom saving dealers significant build time.
SRP £1149 + OTR Charges.

I somehow get attracted to things that people choose to ignore. Old buidings, abandoned cars houses, broken stuff etc etc. This is yet another painting like that. Its a painting of 'used and forgotten' corner. There is a place in everyone's house where people just dump their old things that they have used for years and forget about it. Usually some corner somewhere. And it is not very different when it comes to human beings I guess.
The picture I used was from the world wide web. There was something new that I tried in this painting and it seemed to work. I wanted to paint rust on the blue tin door. For that I glazed dark to light. Using some burnt amber I painted a random pattern and splattered it here and there. Then after it had dried completely I glazed using cobalt blue. The blue wash had to be done very quick and softly. The final outcome was good enough to look like rust for me.
p.s. The name for the painting I am going with in the last post is "Safe for now" suggested by Mineke.

Motorcycles are the best circus attractions. They're fast, scary, noisy and always make an impression in the beholder.
Bikers are kind of circus artists no matter where they are or what they do. People look at us differently, in fear, admiration or surprise, but two wheelers will always make an impression.
Riding in the Motor Circus is way more fun than driving, and it is lovely when children wave their hands to salute you from car windows.
Motorcycle artists can wear leathers, strange helmets and sunglasses, whatever makes them feel different and belong. Most stuff is there for reasons only bikers would understand.
But if there's something everybody admires from motorbikers is the freedom, and that is exactly the same reason why we ride.
See you on the roads!

Three cheers for me for finally completing this special custom longcoat ordered by a lovely returning Etsy buyer!! This one was quite the task to accomplish. There were so many obstacles in the way, I was starting to wonder how long it would take to finish! In the end, it took about 4 months from concept to the last stitch and to be honest, I was quite surprised with myself. Although I've sewn clothing before, this garment has a quality I didn't see while working on it. Only now while looking at these photos that I took today of my aunt modelling it, do I see how impressive it actually is. I look forward to making more garments and adding them to the shop.
Speaking of today, I was at my uncle's house and his wife (my aunt) cooked us (and her sister's family who were also visiting) a fantastic lunch that included homemade gnocchis, pasta, meatballs, sausage and even sauce! The vine leaves were store bought but boy were they good.
Bella (their bunny) had her own feast and I second her sentiment, stuffed and sleepy!

After taking the entirety of 2015 off, he came back bigger than ever with his new album ÷ (Divide.) You hear his new music everywhere! It became so huge even BEYONCE got involved!
With Ed Sheeran's gentle voice and profoundly deep lyrics, there's no question about how everyone's favorite ginger reached super stardom. His journey is very inspiring!
He left home at 18 to pursue his dream of becoming a professional singer, but wound up homeless! He crashed on friends' sofas and slept in front of Buckingham Palace until his career began to gain traction. All thanks to the power of YouTube, that's how people first began finding out about him. In 2011, his career blew up when Jamie Foxx invited him to perform in his LA club.
He's written hundreds of songs (Including CeeLo's "Forget You") and has recorded some of the most powerful romance ballads in the past decade. Despite the massive rush of fame, he remains humble.
If he ever decides to get his license and drive… he's getting a mini.

Mama's Hip
Written by Sara Rust
originally published on her blog Porcelain Manifesta on January 4, 2016
We really pushed the limits of cozy family time over this long weekend. It started NYE when B came down with his 40th bout of an upper respiratory infection since the Fall and we knew at least some of us would be skipping the New Years Party we'd planned on attending. However bummed I was that we wouldn't be leaving the house to ring in the new year for like the fifth year in a row, I was kind of ready for some solid family time.
I went to the grocery, got makings for peanut butter cookies, soup for New Year's Day and some other fun treats, like canned biscuits and orange juice, which are not on our normal grocery list. And for much of Thursday, Friday and Saturday we gorged ourselves on snuggle time, movies, board games and delicious food. It was glorious!
Until it wasn't. Sunday morning sounded something like:
Beck – She pulled my hair!
Lolo – He won't watch Daniel Tiger!
Hill – Can you two just be quiet for five minutes?
Me – Breakfast? I've been cooking for you kids all weekend. Cereal is in the cabinet.
It wasn't pretty. Then I stepped on a flashlight someone left in the middle of the kitchen floor and I momentarily left my body, and my father (who presumably also left his, I should ask him) inhabited my body and screamed: "The next toy I find lying on the ground is going in the garbage!"
Both kids stopped, stared at me and then fell to the floor in fits of hysterical laughter. I yell to that degree almost never so I'm glad I didn't make them cry…I think.
Today is now Monday and a collective sigh is heard around the country as most of the school age children in North America return to their regularly scheduled education. That includes my kindergartener, Beck. And while I reveled in the good parts, boy am I ready to be out of that house!
I know my husband will hate this post, because he's a screen writer and stay-at-home dad, so he doesn't get to remove himself, as it were. But having Beck back in school and getting Lolo back into her routine will certainly change the energy around here for the better. We had a nice bedtime tonight where I explained my outburst and the feelings around it and we all agreed we're ready to get back to normal life. Except Lolo, who is only okay with the normal routine if her and I are physically touching at all times.
And at work I'll tell everyone what a relaxing and rejuvenating start to the new year we had. That my two-year-old is the snuggliest of cuddlers and I don't care if she never grows out of this phase and about all the puzzles and games my five-year-old and I played together. I'll probably leave out the part about threatening to throw out all their toys though.

|I am interested in a really good, smallish video cam. Have been interested for the past few years but really have a hard time deciphering what I might want.
To video my garden and estates
Gardens that I visit
Possible release of vids for you tube or even like my Power Point series.
So I am not interested in cheapos
Not interested in really high ends.
Something from 300-1000 dollars
Do you have any suggestions?
If I don't do it now, another year might be lost!
But, we could use this thread for all comments on what you have, what you like or dislike about it, and if you recommend it, why?

|I don't have a camcorder - have never felt like I needed one, but I'm a huge fan of Panasonic's cameras, so I would definitely consider their camcorders.
Canon's another good option, as is Sony.
Canon's are sold out at NewEgg, but here's their Sony options:
Features should include still as well as video, and I'd want a high-resolution option for the stills.

|Several years ago, I bought all of my kids those Flip video cameras. They were all on active duty and overseas at the time, and one of my sons said he would tape his camera to the humvee, and video everything. Those videos were invaluable to them. They really liked them.
I don't own a video camera, so I can't answer your question or make recommendations, but I think many of today's video cameras are so superior to those years ago, that it may be more important to find one that fits in your hand comfortably and is user friendly. ~Jan

Have you asked ... Is it Charles Dorsey? The guy who makes the hybridizer interview DVDs?

|I like the Flip video camera too, we have one that my husband bought a year or so ago. Unfortunately it is no longer being made according to several sites I saw when I Googled it. Here is one of the articles: http://mashable.com/2011/04/12...
This site had some good choices that were based on what someone wanted the camera to do: http://www.camcorderinfo.com/

He just ordered 5 of my Power Point Presentations to give a delivery to a Master Gardener's group!
I just had not connected the name. My memory of him is through Chacha's Winter Garden Sharing group!
(posted here)
I'll ask him, but I bet he has something way more expensive than what I can afford.
I do have a Rebel for my digital pics which is great. I would like the same quality for the videos.
Anyone else with ideas?

I have a Sony video cam. It is fairly easy to use and has features that I don't even know how to use I haven't used it on the garden yet but I wanted something for my family vacations, big events and things. I purchased mine at Best Buy for less than $500 a couple of yrs ago. I hope you find one before bloom season.

SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) --San Francisco police and city officials announced an agreement Monday to have state prosecutors independently review 272 police reforms recommended by federal justice officials.
This is a new agreement that will help improve officer use-of-force policies, improve racial bias training and enhance community policies, transparency and accountability efforts. "We made a promise to our residents and to our communities that we were going to transform our police department and partnering with Attorney General Xavier Becerra will allow us to follow through on that pledge," said interim San Francisco Mayor Mark Farrell.
Becerra did not say how much the agreement will cost his department. Rather, he said he's not going to wait for state legislators to provide the money but will find it.
RELATED: San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee proposes police reform budget
The federal recommendations were made following several officer-involved shootings in San Francisco in 2015 that led to the resignation of police Chief Greg Suhr.
RELATED: Video show moments leading up to fatal police shooting in San Francisco
The state was asked to step in after the United States Department of Justice, under Jeff Sessions, decided to stop collaborating with the San Francisco Police Department on these reforms. That department no longer provides community-oriented policing assistance to local law enforcement agencies. In the past few years, Washington had worked with the SFPD on these reforms. Now, it will be up to the state to make sure that the recommendations are implemented.
The 272 recommendations were given to the police department in 2016 following a number of incidents of police brutality. To date, more than half of the reforms have been implemented or are being worked on.
Lyanne Melendez will have the full story coming up on ABC7 News at 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. Follow her on Twitter for updates.

This movie gets: 8.00 (3 ratings)nofreelist.com Ranking: Ranked equal 53rd of 187 movies (2 ratings minimum; see full chart)
Spider-Man (2002) is also mentioned in pearly's review of Batman Begins (2005), mino's review of Daredevil (2003), citizenjoe's review of Hulk (2003), mino's review of Hulk (2003) and pearly's review of Spider-Man 2 (2004).
Everyone knows the comic-book hero Spider-Man. On a school "field trip" (we call them excursions in Australia), Peter Parker (in this movie played by Tobey Maguire) is bitten by a genetically modified super-spider, and this gives him spider-like super-powers. He can cling to walls, shoot out webs, and is incredibly strong. Peter, being a big nerd and a softie at heart, then decides to use his powers for good. In the film, this means saving people from the dreaded Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe); especially the girl that makes his heart beat damn fast - M.J. (Kirsten Dunst).
Essentially, Spider-Man is an old-fashioned tale of good versus evil. Of course, in this case it's been done with all that modern-day special effects teams have to offer (and they do what they do well).
Giving characters with masked faces expressions that make the audience understand their feelings seems to have been somewhat of a challenge. In the case of the Green Goblin, this was mainly overcome with evil laughs and voices. With Spider-Man, there was far less animation, and more reliance on knowing the deal based on Peter Parker's previous monologues. Playing a character whose face is covered for a great portion of the movie must have been difficult, and I think this is one of the reasons why Willem Dafoe's performance is more of a stand-out than that of Tobey Maguire.
I have one bone to pick with Spider-Man. What's with the hyphen? Surely Spiderman would have done? I don't remember Superman (1978) being called Super-Man. That just bothered me.
Other than that, what bad things can I say about this movie? From the classy spidery-webbed credits at the beginning, through the not-rushed description of how our hero got his powers, onto the creation of his arch-nemesis, and through to Spider-Man saving the day (I don't think I'm giving anything away when I say that Spider-Man does in fact beat the Green Goblin - I don't think it's possible for anything else to have happened), this film delivers the goods.
The love story running through it rings true, and the detail which brings the characters to life (for example, M.J's abusive parents, and the relationships between Peter's best friend and the Green Goblin) give the movie an extra element of interest, making the movie more than just Spider-Man versus the Green Goblin. The plot doesn't always travel down the path most trodden; it gives its audience a little more credit than some other films of its ilk. I particularly enjoyed J.K. Simmons' character (the editor of the local newspaper, Mr Jameson).
This movie is a lot of fun, for adults and kiddies alike. A blockbuster worthy of being so.
Big Hollywood 'blockbusters' (the kind that are always designated as such long before they come out) have always left a sour taste in my mouth. With very rare exception, they disappoint. I think, in the case of most blockbusters, the problem is that they try too hard. The humour is forced, the acting hammy, the over-direction obvious (even to a film idiot like me), the special effects way too over-the-top. In summary, they take themselves too seriously.
Well, Spider-Man doesn't take itself too seriously. Not by a long shot. And as a result, for the first time in ages (excluding instant-fanboy-hits-just-add-water Fellowship of the Ring and the first Harry Potter movie), a mega-hyped Hollywood release is not just worth frittering away a couple of hours on, but an actively entertaining and enjoyable film.
Spider-Man is, for those of you living under, say, Ayers Rock, the story of Peter Parker (Tobey Maguire), a bookish young man who is shunned at school, blah blah, you know the story. He gets bitten by a genetically engineered spider, blah blah, turns into a superhero who can climb walls and shoot webs, and so on. This is the standard superhero deal - and the movie realises this, and tries not to do anything too fancy. We see Peter coming to terms with his powers, with his blossoming love for girl-next-door (literally) Mary Jane (the highly… erm… attractive Kirsten Dunst), and his inevitable arch-enemy the Green Goblin (Willem Dafoe).
Maguire is perfectly cast as the angst-filled Parker/Spidey. While there was a lot of speculation back when this movie was first mooted as to who would make a good Spider-Man, I doubt anyone thought of Maguire. He's just not the type you would pick as a superhero, but he's absolutely spot-on as Spider-Man. He's got the whole gawky-teen-thing down pat, and plays well off Dunst as the rather two-dimensional (not Dunst's fault) Mary Jane. As a bonus, he's suprisingly good at the cool-dry-wit-of-the-action-hero thing too.
The whole arch-enemy thing, though, was always a potential weakness of Spider-Man; Superman has Lex Luthor, Batman has The Joker, and so on. Who does Spider-Man have? Ask most people, before the movie came out, and they would have had no idea. So the writers had to just pick one, more or less, and came up with the Green Goblin - really no more (or less) memorable than any other original Spider-Man villian. But Dafoe does a great job, his facial expressions as always wildly exaggerated and, in this case at least, perfectly suited to the part. It's a pity his costume is so… well, so awful. It looks great, don't get me wrong, but it just seems so… fake. Dafoe is a great actor, his face shouldn't be covered with a rather awkward-looking mask.
Though I enjoyed the movie a great deal, there are some pretty significant flaws in Spider-Man, that annoyed me enough to not be able to ignore them and just go with the ride, which I was trying desperately to do. As a case in point: the pro-US posturing, clearly added after September 11th, really grates. Movies and TV shows loaded with flag-waving (in this case, literally) histrionics are only just starting to filter through Down Under, and I'm sick of it already. It would be a lot better if they were in some way subtle, but with Spider-Man containing lines like "We're Noo Yorkers; mess with one of us, mess with all of us", well, they're about as subtle as an A-bomb right up your Tora Bora. Give it a rest, it always (and I mean always) looks bolted-on and, well, lame. Also, there are a few odd cameos scattered through the movie, with varying degrees of success. Randy Savage, thumbs up; Macy frigging Gray, big big big thumbs down. My personal thoughts on Macy Gray aside (easier said than done), her appearance really does smack of 'well, who can we cram into this scene needlessly?'. Awful, truly awful.
But all that aside, it's the sense of humour that really makes Spider-Man. It's a genuinely funny film; some parts will appeal to some movie-goers as having just the right level of silliness, but appear to others as just 'try-hard' (Dafoe's cartoonish "We'll meet again" goodbye to Spidey; the bomb which, on exploding, reduces the victims to their skeletons, which later crumble to ash), but overall, you'd be hard-pressed to not enjoy Spider-Man. It's no Brothers Karamazov, but hey: it's the best mainstream pap Hollywood has churned out in a while. Just sit down, shut up, cheer at the right parts, and have fun. (Bets are now being taken, however, on whether the already-moving-forward sequel will suck: my vote, yes.)

As the University of Nevada at Reno prepares to make their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 10 years, a seemingly unlikely face is on the sideline. Cornell Educated, Yanni Hufnagel does not have the typical pedigree one expects when it comes coaching major Division I College Basketball.
A native of Scarsdale, NY who was raised Jewish, one would logically make the assumption that Hufnagel would end up where most Ivy League Graduates end up, in the world of Law, Finance, or Medicine. Instead, upon graduating from Cornell with an degree in Labor Relations, Hufnagel began coaching College Basketball, and the rest as they say, is history.
In stops at Oklahoma, Harvard, and the University of California, among others, Hufnagel established himself as a masterful recruiter, a role that is essential for a College Basketball Assistant Coach to master to become a success. At Harvard, specifically, Hufnagel was able to recruit outstanding student-athletes without being able to offer athletic scholarships and shone brightly in this role. Hufnagel's above average verbal abilities and talent at connecting with individuals from all walks of life was, and continues to be a huge asset in the world of College Basketball recruiting.
Regardless of how deep the University of Nevada advances in the NCAA tournament, Yanni Hufnagel as made quite a name for himself as a basketball coach. It is only a matter of time until Hufnagel leaves the University and the staff of former NBA Head Coach Eric Musselman to head his own program. A role in which there is no doubt Hufnagel will not only thrive, but excel! Not bad for someone who was cut from their high school basketball team.

This paper focuses on the analysis of transparency in public administrations but also refers to the existing corruption. In order to carry out the study, we have chosen the data of the corruption perception index for year 2016 and the transparency index of the 110 largest municipalities in Spain in 2014, as both are the latest published by the Organization website International Transparency Spain, where we have obtained the data. The results indicate that in Spain there is still a high average level of corruption, this corruption is due in part to the large number of corruption cases in recent years, which causes a great distrust in society, which in turn, An increase in the demand on the part of society to the public administrations of transparency. Every year the levels of global transparency in public administrations are greater, especially from 2013 when the new law of transparency is applied, is when greater change is reflected in all areas of transparency of administrations. We also note that the size of the population, the gender of their representative or whether they are provincial capital or not, are factors that affect indeed the transparency of administrations. We can conclude that the legislation on transparency and the Organization International Transparency -Spain, have contributed to stimulate the local governments dissemination of information. [-]

Stainless steel lunch containers
Beeline Reader
We're constantly looking for innovative ways to improve the Springwise experience, and so we're now introducing BeeLine Reader, a new technology that helps you read more quickly and efficiently. To learn more about BeeLine Reader, an award-winning startup funded by Intel Capital, see BeeLineReader.com.
Packing a lunch for kids tends to involve a variety of plastic packaging, bags and wrappers that are harmful not just to the environment—heading directly to landfills as they so frequently do—but also, potentially, to the kids themselves. Whereas Kids Konserve's plastic-free lunch kits were driven by environmental considerations, a new line of stainless steel lunch containers was inspired instead by concerns over bisphenol-a, or BPA.

However, take a look at Blumarine and Just Cavalli and a few other labels (you just need to dig) and you'll see leopard prints popping up big again. So for now, just neatly tuck aside those pieces cause you'll still be able to use them later this year! Internal hurrah!
I was up until god knows what time last night doing my resort collection, so I managed to catch the live stream of Blumarine's Fall 2012-2013. A quick summary of the collections through my thoughts (that ended up being tweeted while i was watching the show):
- more like all the fur on blumarine in every freaking color - pink yellow blue purple orange
- metallics~
- those metallic silver biker gloves!!!!!!!
- i need that metallic bag!
- oh gawdd leopard print u srs
- shes head to toe in leopard print omg scarf coat blazer shirt pants and shoes
- those rainbow oil shine shoes are raaaddd
I just went to look for close-ups, and omg, what amazing metallic snakeskin
What material is that - seriously I'm dubbing this the "rainbow oil shine" because it's like when you see oil on the road
Just Cavalli is bringing in more than leopard - it's bringing in zebras too.
Amazing construction.
I would love to post about 3.1 Phillip Lim but I'm so lazy too, except I was pretty interested in the shoes, so I went to find close-ups, and found a few more treasures instead.
A clutch within a clutch. Ingenious. (Oh god this is half sarcasm but really I like this)
That semi-translucent collar with an amazing shine!!

3078 GERMANY (North Rhine-Westphalia) - Schwanentor Bridge in Duisburg
Located in the western part of the Ruhr Area, at the confluence of the Rhine and Ruhr rivers, Duisburg has the world's biggest inland harbor. Actually it is officially regarded as a seaport, because seagoing river vessels go to ports in Europe, Africa and the Middle East. Until around 1000 AD, Duisburg was located on the banks of the Rhine, but after that, the river shifted its course westwards, and the town remained connected to the river only through a "dead" arm for the following 400 years. As a result, this previously important trading town declined into a small agricultural settlement.
It was only in the 19th century that an initiative to resurrect the connection to the Rhine proved successful. Initially, the Outer Harbour was dug from the Rhine in the west as far as the contemporary Marientor Bridge, to which an eastern extension was later built, the Inner Harbour. Early on, the timber industry established itself on the harbour, mining interest being a major customer for their products then, as modern production methods were able to reduce their space requirements, grain mills began to establish themselves in several locations. They conferred on the Inner Harbour the nickname "bread basket of the Ruhr district".
For over a hundred years during the high point of the Industrial Revolution, the Inner Harbour (Innenhafen) was the central harbour and trading point of the town. Since the mid 1960s, the importance of the harbour declined and it lay in a disused condition for 20 years, before plans for renovation were drawn up. This former industrial area has been fundamentally transformed, a process which started as a part of the International Building Exhibition Emscher Park (IBA) which ran from 1989 until 1999. it has developed into a nightlife district, dotted with countless restaurants and bars.
Schwanentor Bridge is one of three lift bridges in Duisburg, and crosses the Inner Harbour. It is used by pedestrians, cyclists, automobiles and trams. The passage height at medium normal water level and without lifting the platform is 5.50m. The bridge platform between the four square towers can be lifted about 10m. Ropes and counterweights are located in the towers. These are decorated with bricks, have pairs of windows arranged in pairs and a glazed upper floor. In one of the towers, a guard house is installed, which controls the lifting of the Swan Gate Bridge as well as of the Hump Bridge.

I made all kinds of mistakes day-trading today.
- Bad start too early. Without much planning, I shorted at (1) during the first 10 minutes thinking 124.50 would be revisited. It ended in disaster and set the tone (and psyche) for the rest of the day.
- Over-trade. I made over 30 round trip trades on SPY today. What?! Much was due to "fire-fighting" bad entries. The goal of fire fighting is to reduce loss. I might as well not trade and and be better off and not incur any loss at all (just making a point to not enter a trade too quickly).
- Not honoring stop loss. After entering short at (1), I kept moving the stop loss up. Initially at the top of the entry bar; then I moved it up to the previous day's high.
- I entered long at (2) thinking it was an H1. That was a mistake because the up trend channel was broken and there was a moving average gap.
- Average down. Well that's part of "fire fighting". I ended up shorting on the way up and buying on the way down during the first 2 legs of the day.
- One thing I did right was after the 2nd leg (down channel) was broken, I didn't go long immediately but waited for the bottoming pattern. See the magenta line, I went long on the break of it.
- I went short on (3) thinking it was L1. Here I made the mistake that I avoided earlier. The trend was up (or no trend) and I should have waited for a back-test before making counter-trend trades.
- I took loss at (4) for my short entry made at (3). Why??? May be I had enough for the day? Or may be I should have given a little bit more margin to allow overshoot? Actually, it had much to do with the fact I was in the middle of taking profit of my NFLX day trade.
- Distraction. So the NFLX day trade distraction did a double whammy. First, I prematurely took loss on SPY at a pivot in order to get to NFLX. I did that subconciously to avoid a potential disaster on the SPY trade. Second, I ended up taking profit way too early on NFLX as I exit the trade in a hurry.
Bad trades. Bad day. Fortunately, the lessons only cost me $110 for the day.
Incidentally in preparation for the upcoming gloom and doom, I bought a McDonald deal today from Living Social. $13 for 5 Big Macs and 5 Large Fries. Vouchers have no expiration dates which reminded me of forever stamps, which I bought a couple of books in case postage goes up with hyperinflation. LOL.

Watch it at your own risk, because the latest trailer for The Shape Of Water sheds a whole new light on the film and goes a long way towards spoiling the movie's narrative.
Fox Searchlight has unveiled the final trailer for director Guillermo del Toro's upcoming fairy tale The Shape Of Water. This trailer spoils some of the film's more critical reveals and completely changes the tone of what to expect from the film and why it's worth seeing as one of del Toro's best. The trailer, in my opinion, gives away too much.
Written by del Toro and Vanessa Taylor, the film takes place in 1962 America, against the backdrop of the Cold War, and stars Sally Hawkins as Elisa, a lonely and mute cleaning woman who works in a high-security government laboratory, where a new specimen has just arrived. The specimen in question is a mysterious Fish Man, played by Doug Jones in full makeup. Matters are complicated when Elisa strikes up a friendly relationship with the Fish Man, only to see Michael Shannon's terrifying security expert treat the creature like a wild animal, abuse and all. A situation that begs the question "who is the monster here?"
The movie also stars Octavia Spencer, Richard Jenkins, and Michael Stuhlbarg and opens in New York on December 1st with expansion to follow in the ensuing weeks. You can view the trailer below.
