We'll let you into a little secret. January is one of the best months to see the real 'wild' side of Cornwall. Yes you'll have beach to yourself but there's also still loads to do. Here's our top five things to do:
A Night Full of Sardines (2014) from Kurt Jackson Contemporary Artist on Vimeo.
1. Kurt Jackson: Line Caught and Local
Up until 25 January one of Cornwall's most respected artists, Kurt Jackson, will be exhibiting at the National Maritime museum. Kurt is famed for his large canvas work and contemporary art which he produces from his studio in St Just drawing inspiration from the Cornish landscape.
Joining forces with the National Maritime Museum, the exhibition features a series of paintings, drawings, sculpture, supporting film footage and fishing artefacts which embracing the life and work of inshore fishermen in audio, film and handling objects. Kurt rarely exhibits so this is not to be missed.
2. Ice skating at Eden
Fear that you've missed out on all the festive fun in the run up to Christmas? Fear not. The Eden Project's renowned skating rink is running until 22 February. There are even skating penguins for those a little wobbly on their skates to hold on to. Visit their online site to find out more.
3. Cornish Seal Sanctuary
Each year the Cornish Seal Sanctuary at Gweek expect to rehabilitate up to 60 seal pups. As most breeding activity occurs in September, January is one of the busiest months for seal pup call outs. The sanctuary's hospital pools are often full so it's the best time of the year to sneek a peak and them being rehabilitated and fattened up for release.
4. On your bike
Hop on to one of the most popular recreational bike routes in the country. The Camel Trail is an 18-mile, largely traffic free, trail which runs along a disused railway line between Wenfordbridge, Bodmin and Wadebridge before running alongside the Camel Estuary to Padstow. It's a great family ride and idyllically quiet this time of year – a paradise for birdwatchers. Bike hire is available at Padstow, Bodmin or Wadebridge. More information can be found on the council's online website.
5. Lanhydrock Park Run
Every Saturday at 9am the Lanhydrock Estate near Bodmin host a timed 5k run. Winding through a beautiful route of National Trust parkland, woods and river-side trails the Lanhydrock Park Run is perfect for elite runners as well as beginners trying to keep up with a New Year's resolution. It's a free event but you must register before enter. Then undo all of your hard work at the end of the race with coffee and cake at the National Trust cafe in the car park.

I love fireworks for any holiday, and I am incredibly excited how Colonial Williamsburg has packed an entire day with music, tradition, and fireworks in the unique way only this iconic American city can do. Join me in Colonial Williamsburg to enjoy the holiday festivities of Grand Illumination on Sunday, Dec. 3. After a morning of the town's special activities and an afternoon of music, the events will conclude with "A Festival of Light and Thunder," a free fireworks demonstration. Trust me, it's going to be epic.
First, what is an illumination? In the 18th century, illuminations involved the firing of guns and lighting of fireworks. These guns and fireworks announced major events such as the birthday of a reigning sovereign, military victories, or the arrival of a new colonial governor.
Grand Illumination festivities begin at 4 p.m. when a town crier (of course Colonial Williamsburg begins the festivities with a town crier) officially opens the holiday season from the Courthouse steps. I've listed the highlights of the city's December 3rd events below. Visit colonialwilliamsburg.com for tickets and even more details.
Until 6:30 p.m., themed musical performances will be showcased on four Historic Area stages:
At the same time, the William & Mary a Capella group the Gentlemen of the College will sing on the new porch of the Raleigh Tavern.
Fireworks and Parade
The celebration culminates in "A Festival of Light and Thunder" at 7 p.m. with simultaneous free fireworks demonstrations above the Capitol, the Magazine and the Governor's Palace, followed by a torch-lit procession of the Fifes & Drums down Duke of Gloucester Street. Visit colonialwilliamsburg.com for complete programming details.
The day's dining highlights include:
Guest parking is available at the Colonial Williamsburg Regional Visitor Center.
Daytime Events
Daytime programs included with Colonial Williamsburg admission
Good Neighbor Passes to the Governor's Palace
Also on Dec. 3, Colonial Williamsburg is offering a single-site ticket to the iconic Governor's Palace, available in limited quantities exclusively via the Colonial Williamsburg Explorer mobile app for $15. The ticket will only be available on Dec. 3. For just $10, residents of Williamsburg, James City County and the Bruton District of York County can visit the Governor's Palace and other sites daily and enjoy other benefits with a Good Neighbor Annual Pass. For additional information and to purchase a Good Neighbor Annual Pass visit colonialwilliamsburg.com/good-neighbor.
Ticket Information
Tickets and program information are available by visiting colonialwilliamsburg.com. Tickets, reservations and information are available by calling 855-296-6627, toll-free. Information, dining reservations and same-day program tickets are available via the free Colonial Williamsburg Explorer app, which can be downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play. Information is also available by following Colonial Williamsburg on Facebook and @colonialwmsburg on Twitter and Instagram.

Fanfiction for adults
Created from: Mole's works
Chapter 5
The restaurant was quite large and set on two levels the top level was for non-smokers the bottom had the bar and smoking section. We were on the top level and had most of it to our selves because of our numbers.
Half the wall was yellow the other half was wood panelling and to make the border there was a little picture every 2cm or so.
When we got to our table Donna and the kids were already sat down.
"Hi, Donna, Beca, Peter." I said
"Hello Anita. Donna said. Looking odley at my company she said Are you going to introduce us to the rest of your company?"
"Yes. The man in the 3 piece is Jason next to him is Damian, next to him is Cheery on my outer side the one at the end is Asher then Nathaniel and this here" Pulling Jean-Claude into a hug "is Jean-Claude, my partner. Everyone this is Donna and her kids Peter and Beca and you all know TED"
After the introductions we sat so that we alternated a vampire between each human/ware. It went me next to Donna, Jean-Claude next to me Nathaniel next to him then Asher, and then it went Cherry, Damian, Jason, Ted, Peter, Beca and then Donna of coarse.
While we were looking at the menu nobody was talking and it as beginning to get on my nerves.
"So how's the shop doing Donna?"
"Oh the shop's doing great and my physic told me that the energy's were right this year to start and expand it a little."
"Are you still going to the same one as you were last time because I never did get to meet her and if she's still around I'd like to meet her still."
"Yes it's the same one she's very good and was disappointed when you didn't get to see her last time"
While all this was going on Jean-Claude was sat next to me pointing at various things on the menu that he would like to eat or drink. I kept shaking my head until we came to a compromise I was going to have a pizza with prawns and tuna on it with a glass of red wine and a glass of coke.
While I was in my compromise with Jean-Claude, Cherry had kept Donna busy by telling her that she would love to see the shop sometime because it was something of a hobby of hers to look at the different kinds of shops. Which I thought could be true considering the amount of time she spends shopping.
When it came time to order our food it was decided that the vampires would order half of the food that the wears wanted as to keep down any suspicions that: A they werent eating and,
B that the wears of the family were wears.
The man who came to take the order must have been about 20 and had an ass to die for. He went round the table taking the orders for food and said he would send someone up to take the drinks orders.
While we were discussing what to do after the meal a young woman came up to take our drinks orders and by the looks on the males in our group excluding Ted I would guess that is what we all looked like when the man came to take the orders but that doesnt mean I have to like it so Jean-Claude got a swift kick in the knee and could have sworn I heard him let out a grunt of pain Ha serves him right imagine looking at another womans butt when your long living love was sat next to you. By the time the food arrived, Id been accosted in to going on a shopping trip with Cherry and Donna, and going out to the shooting range with Ted guess which I would like to go to most?
The meal was nice I sipped my wine ate the pizza and listened to the new Westlife CD World of Our Own.
Jean-Claude seemed to enjoy himself, and so did the others but I noticed that Jason looked a little uncomfortable in his suite.
Towards the end of the meal, Donna asked us what we were going to do for the rest of our time here. Jean-Claude answered with his usual ease while the rest of our group were all looking uncomfortable except for me of course so it made me wonder what Jean-Claude was up to this time but his answer gave nothing away.
As this holiday is mostly to give Ma Petite time to rest I thought that we would see some of the clubs and have a look around town we will also be meeting an old friend of mine while we are here Mon Chère
How nice I have heard that there are some good clubs around maybe if I can convince Ted to take me to one we will see you there Donna said to Jean-Claude to me she said I do hope you get a lot of rest while youre here your friends seem to want you too. I could have sworn that I heard Ted and Asher laughs when she said about my friends wanting me to rest.
Not long after we were just finishing, our meals when Teds cell phone rang he got up to answer it and said
Ill be back, sorry
As he walked away, I heard him say Hello Ted
When he came back, he went to Donna and said something to her that made her go very pale and start to pack up her things rapidly. She kept saying that she was sorry to be leaving us but it couldnt be helped and then they left.
Not long after they left, we decided that we should move as well. While the others were getting coats, I decided it was a good time to ask Jean-Claude the question I had been avoiding all night.
Jean-Claude can I have a word with you I said
Of course Ma Petite what can I do for you?
Are we going to see Obsidian Butterfly tonight?
Oui, I am afraid we have to it is only courtiers that we visit the master of the city once while we are staying here. Now come let us go back to the hotel and change into some better clothes. I think that Jason will appreciate that a lot.
With that, we all climb into the limo and went back to the hotel.

Baby Kingfishers
A beautiful day today after the rain and the birds are happy! I finally managed to snap one of the two 'baby' Buff-breasted Paradise Kingfishers which are always flying round the driveway. This little fellow is just starting to develop it's colours but is yet to start growing the distinctive long thin white tail plumes. You can see the start of the blue head feathers and it's breast will eventually be a deep rufous colour and the beak will turn bright red - you may like to check my archive of these beautiful birds.
They usually stay around until March/April and when the juveniles are fully-fledged they will migrate back to Papua New Guinea.

HIST2107 The Second World War in Asia and the Pacific, 1931-1952 (6 credits)
This course is an introduction to the history of the Second World War in Asia and the Pacific. Focusing largely on military affairs and international relations, students will examine how established imperial powers were eclipsed by a new global economic order shaped by US-Soviet superpower rivalry. Students will gain a greater understanding of the significance of the war in Asia and the Pacific, and how its impact is still felt today.
Several key themes and questions will be explored to help students understand the war's significance. Why was it a total war? Why did it help create the Cold War? Part of the answer to these questions can be found by first examining Japanese aggression in China and the destruction of British and Japanese imperial power. The impact of geography and technology on the evolution of US military doctrine also played an important role. When technology was combined with racial hatred, the destructiveness of war intensified to a level never before experienced. During this conflict warfare became an activity that now threatens human existence. Thus, the ethics of war will also be discussed.

People might often obtain the audio tracks or tune in to the tracks to the website of the Judge. The audio recordings could be reached by hitting the "Oral Reasons" induce around the homepage, and selecting "Disagreement Audio." The tracks is going to be listed docket number by event name, along with the time of common discussion, and therefore are obtainable in three audio formats.
The recordings is likewise accessible by hitting "What Is New" on the home page in the webpage. The Court began audio-recording oral arguments in 1955. The tracks are maintained at Records Administration and The National Records. Ahead of the 2010 Period, the sessions from one Phrase of Court were unavailable until the start of Phrase. The Records may continue to provide as the formal archive for your Court's audio tracks. The 2Nd Circuit's wisdom advised the Executive Department to comply with the Equal Protection Clause quickly.
The President disagrees using the temporal facet of that, hence the Government is aggrieved while in the feeling that the Government is ordered to-do something ahead of the level once the Executive believes it will do that factor. Legitimate researchers and these products might consult to get a selection of factors. Frequently, pleadings offer added insight in to the fights which persuaded the courtroom.
Because appellate courts evaluate only concerns of legislation, the document on appeal might also give more factual history in regards to the original circumstance than is presented in an impression. Petitioners are before you today tough the 1998 Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Work, which expanded the word of subsisting and upcoming copyrights by 20 years of Congress. Petitioners submit this kind of quilt expansion of current phrases meets Congress's power under the Copyright Term plus it violates the Initial Amendment. Discovering Supreme Court products besides briefs and views can be very complicated.
Voice transcripts, requests, and dockets are not as widely aged as more in-demand content, and therefore many different sources should typically be contacted before the file that is preferred is located. Things in microfiche can be produced in microfiche or report formats. Each content reproduced is 10 cents. The materials noted above all are housed in the Microforms Room.
Briefs presented to the U.S. Supreme Court can be found in the Gallagher Law Library in several types: microfilm, and printing, In microfiche. Typically, docket numbers designated by the Courtroom when there is a case recorded organize the briefs. The docket number of a case is shown to the first site of the written view and to the upper right hand corner of microfiche. The guidelines genuinely offer no help with this problem. However, a dialogue with the Worker of 1 of the Appellate Divisions was not uninstructive.
When requested, the Clerk reported unequivocally the common argument transcript doesn't fit inside appendix or the document. The thought went as follows: nothing the attorney claims supplies the sort of factual service that the file on attraction is supposed to incorporate. Additionally, anything of transfer the judge says on the document can doubtless be restated in her or his decision.
Where the court normally rests in Boston, the court schedules some common discussion classes for spots outside Suffolk District and beyond the surfaces of the John Adams Courthouse included in the Appeals Court's continuous outreach system.

Excerpt from Bathroom Shower Doors for Your Personal Space:
Non hinged ones can be a better choice for smaller cubicle. Pivot doors enable the inward or outward swing. You can also minimize the space used when it is opened. The same advantage is offered by bi fold doors. This is a type which requires you to flip the door to open and therefore it will consume less space.

The Olive Dress
It was a night for good people and views that really make you rethink things in this world. We decided to go for a family walk in my very favorite home town. The sunset was glowing bright, the noise of the sprinklers irrigating the field, and Boone trying to push around the stroller make my mind really take a break from all the worries of the world, instead I watched and listened to everything around me. My sister and I were chatting about the views around us, and how it never gets old, and how it would be a dream to live here....my husbands response to the super relaxing evening: "f that shit"....which he finished by running away pushing Boone in the stroller.....our replying: thunderous laughter. Now I promise my husband isn't always that pessimistic, he was having a bad weekend;Long story short we couldn't find a babysitter to watch our boys for the weekend getaway he had planned, so nothing was going to do with the mindset he had. So instead of a weekend getaway just the two of us we spent it with our babies with Home Depot runs, and sun flower picking.
I am not one to get too much of a pessimistic attitude when situations don't go my way, unless your my husband he's usually the one who gets my wrath..poor guys! So I won't say I never get pessimistic but for the most part I am usually pretty good at making the best of the situations I am thrown in...plus I had just received the prettiest Olive green linen dress from Arden Store that could make any day a good day....or three days. I literally wore the olive dress the entire weekend, three days straight without even washing it and I am not even ashamed by it. It is the perfect midi length that still allows for me to chase the boys without worrying about showing off my goods. Plus it has pockets...yes pockets, pockets are a mothers best friend if you didn't' know. I loved how simple it was to wear, I just had to throw it on and I was good to go. The linen fabric allows it to be breathable in this hot weather, but it is thick enough that the dress can take me into the fall season...which I am SO excited about. I also linked some of my most favorite items from Arden Store that might interest you as well.

Choosing Mobile Display is overwhelming today, because of many marketing terms and technology improvements. But, this is not as hard as you think. I will discuss all things you need to know about mobile display as a user. After reading this article, you will be able to select your favorite display yourself.
When talking about Mobile Display, we concentrate on four things :
- Display type ( LCD, AMOLED, Retina, etc ).
- diagonal measurement of the screen ( Physical Dimension ).
- Definitions ( HD, Full HD, Ultra HD, etc ).
- Display Resolution ( Pixel Density ).
Let's start one by one.
Display type:
When we check detail specifications of a mobile device; on Display type, generally we see terms like TFT LCD, IPS LCD, AMOLED, Super AMOLED. Sometimes we fail to understand those terms.
In this section I will try to explain those terms in better approach.
Basically there are two display Technologies : LCD and LED. Above terms are revealed by extending these technologies ( CRT is very old technology and not in use for Mobile Phone Display )
LCD means Liquid Crystal Display. As you can probably figure out, LCD is made up of an array of liquid crystals that get illuminated by a back-light. LCDs don't require much energy to power a screen, the technology is very popular in portable devices.
LCDs also tend to perform quite well in direct sunlight, as the entire display is illuminated from behind, so they are ideal for smartphones. However, this back-lighting means that blacks tend to appear gray and LCDs therefore have less contrast than some other display technologies.
There are two types of LCD generally used in Mobile Phone: TFT and IPS.
TFT stands of Thin Film Transistor. This is the advanced version of LCD that uses Active Matrix. Active matrix means that each pixel is attached to a transistor and capacitor individually.
The main advantages of TFT is relatively low production cost. But, there are two major disadvantages that's fall this technology behind. First one is Excessive power consumption and other is narrow viewing angle.
IPS stands for In-Plane Switching and it is a further improvement on TFT LCDs. To summarize very roughly: the way the crystals are electrically excited is different and the orientation of the crystal array is rotated.
This orientation change improves viewing angles, contrast ratio and color reproduction. Energy consumption is also reduced compared to TFT LCDs. Because IPS LCDs tend to be better than TFT LCDs, they are also more expensive when put on a smartphone.
LCD screens power consumption is not affected by on-screen color. So, you can use dark or bright theme without worrying about battery life.
IPS LCDs also has wide brightness levels related to others, and typically last longer than AMOLED screens.
AMOLED is stands for Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diod.
AM stands for Active Matrix ( same technology used in TFT )
OLED is an organic material that, like the name implies, emits light when a current is passed through it. Different from LCD, LCD has back-lit. OLED displays are 'always off' unless the individual pixels are electrified.
AMOLED displays have much purer blacks and consume less energy when black or darker colors are displayed on-screen. AMOLED screens are also more expensive to produce than LCD.
AMOLED Displays have a very fast refresh rate too, but on the down side are, it's not as visible in direct sunlight as IPS LCDs. Screen burn-in and diode degradation are other factors to consider.
On positive side of AMOLED is it is made thinner thand LCD and aloso possible to make flexible, this means bendable display is possible by AMOLED.
Super AMOLED
Super AMOLED is better version of AMOLED introduced by Samsung, its integrated with touch response layer. It is more thinner than IPS LCD.
Super AMOLED Displays handle sunlight better than AMOLED and consumes less power related to AMOLED.
Retina Displays is introduced by Apple and first used in iPhone 4. It is not an another display technology. its means those types of display has sufficient resolution that the human eye can't discern pixels at a normal viewing distance. As iPhone 4, which had a 960 x 640 pixel resolution on a 3.5-inch IPS LCD screen, resulting in 330 pixels per square inch (ppi).
For being retina Display more than 300 ppi is needed. In this notion, Now a days there are lots of Smart Phone have retina display, not only iPhones or iPads.
Apple uses this as marketing terms.
What's next
I am concluding 1st part of my article now.
In next part, I will discuss about screen resolutions, Definitions, and Physical screen size.
Next part of this article.

Also, it is being considered as one of the frightening reason for welcoming untimely death. Many people have been victimised by this sudden attack, which not only takes away life but also at times makes a person disable physically. There are numerous instances when people fell prey to this scary attack but did not die. Instead, they lost their normal life by being paralysed, at times, partially, the other times completely. This is why keeping this intimidating effect of stroke in mind, Delaware Valley Stroke Council will take another attempt. The Montgomery County-based organisation will be accomplishing its 20th annual move for the cause of stroke awareness.
They will be arranging a walk of 5k run in order to collect fund to educate people about stroke attacks. Also, they will help the people who have earlier been affected by its paw.
The most important information in this regard is if it is diagnosed at the early stage, it can be prevented. People will actually get time to be taken to a hospital and get proper medication only if they have basic knowledge about it. via philadelphia.cbslocal

As we wrap up the year, plenty of folks are making listicles about the best beers they had or which breweries really stole the show in 2017. But we wanted something a little more specific, so this week we asked the Fervent Few which beer impressed them so much this year that they were forced to rethink an entire style.
Brad: "This was the definitely the year I truly discovered Pilsner. While [Threes Brewing's] Vliet has been around longer than that in NYC, the availability of craft Pilsners in NYC has really changed my outlook on the style. Palatine, of course, is the beer that best represents this transformation for me, but Bushberg, Castle Bushberg, Mary, Watch it Fall Slowly, Crystal Waves, and L1 turned Pilsner into a style that I will drive distances and wait in line for rather than drinking it only when nothing else is available."
Rick Owens: "The second half of 2017 opened me up to IPA, specifically the recent emergence of the NE IPA. I was always reluctant to drink IPA because it overwhelmed my palate and I could barely drink one pint before having too much. After visiting Vermont this past summer and drinking my fair share of Harlan and Dharma Bum, my previous sentiments have changed."
Jason Berg: "I was also going to say Pilsner. I suspect it is more of a change I made in myself than with anyone making groundbreaking new advances in the style. Fair State's Pils is consistently solid (and single malt, single hop). Venture Pils from Bent Paddle in my hometown won a statewide award in Growler Magazine and has been in my fridge a while. I think brewers may be trying to get real, drinkable beers available. Sours, imperials, and any style has a place, but Pilsners can be consistent and great."
Jim Plachy: "I was very skeptical of Pollyanna's Fun Size. It just sounded like any other Pastry Stout, but the way they made that thing taste exactly like a liquid Snickers bar is astounding and shows that no matter how gimmicky the style there's something to be said for executing that thing perfectly."
Lana Svitankova: "Don't know why, but this year I fell in love with Saisons. Can't say this was one certain eye-opening beer, but I've started to appreciate good, dry, grassy-hay Saison, coming from 'get this boring thing away' to 'shut up and take my money.' But during this infatuation stage I've found out that there is huge variety of beers people would call Saison. Italian Saisons (the ones I've tasted, at least) are overly grainy and sweet, French tend to be stronger and fuller, etc. So I'll go anytime for Belgian classics like Saison Dupont or Bon Voeux or rare U.S. gems (which are hard to get here in Europe)."
Johnny Swinehart: "Pilsner Urquell in cans. I had never really considered it a decent option, probably because of bad experiences with it in bottles, until I saw it mentioned somewhere on the GBH site. Ever since, I have kept some in the fridge, and it's always easy to find fresh."
Zack Rothman: "I never thought I was going to drink a good Sour IPA and then Ultrasphere from Hudson Valley Brewery blew my mind. This year was my first time trying their beers and I loved every one. They have nailed this style with a funky fruitiness, a tasty tartness, and a subtle sourness. Really opened my mind and my palate!"
Tyler Bello: "It was mixed ferm for me as well this year. Most notably beers from Fonta Flora and Burial that increased my interest and desire to seek out beer from them and some of their like-minded peers."
Mike Sardina: "My year has been highlighted by a refocus on balance when it comes to beers, especially hoppy NE IPA offerings. So many breweries are continuously pushing the limits of what the style can be, at least as far as ABVs, hopping rates, and adjuncts are concerned. A succinct and balanced "NE" (for lack of a better term) IPA or Pale Ale is a thing of beauty, and it's rare to find a brewery that can truly pull it off, especially when it comes to body and mouthfeel. I'd say that Notch Brewing and Suarez Family are two examples of breweries that can brew this style exceptionally well. And, of course, Edward from Hill Farmstead is the true OG and perhaps still the best, most consistent example of what these types of beers can be."
Dave Riddile: "I ended last year very into extreme barrel-aged offerings and complex, overly sour sours. This year I've reverted back to a search for balance and simplicity. Pilsner or a well-balanced IPA have rejoined the rotation in a big way for me because of that. I'd say if I had to pick one, then Pilsner has been the beer that I would normally scoff at, but has now become a go-to. There are just so many good versions of the style being produced today that I find new surprises around every corner."
Shannon Vinson: "Biere de Gardes! Definitely kinda scoffed at that style and had a good one the other day at Spuyten Duyvil (Cuvée des Jonquilles by Brasserie au Baron) and enjoyed the one we [Creature Comforts] produced this year as well. Looking forward to finding more of those."
Brad Redick: "I'd say there were three beers that opened me up and/or illuminated a beer thought that I didn't have as strongly before. The first two beers are pretty consistent with the idea of sessionable, balanced beers that a number of people have written about already. Pacific Wonderland from Deschutes calibrated my focus from Pilsner to dry-hopped Lagers on the whole. Now I realize that distinction is small and I still check for Pilsners on the daily, but I've really embraced the idea that a term like 'dry hop' has transitioned outside of just being used for IPAs. I'm always looking for dry-hopped Lagers now and encouraging breweries to add them to their rotation any chance I get. The second beer was Golden Opportunity from Peticolas in Dallas. It's a really well done Kolsch that I typically only drink at restaurants because its safe and doesn't get in the way of food. I found myself at a steakhouse this year after having four of them wondering why I don't show the Kolsch more love. It made no sense to me that I wasn't embracing Kolsch as much as I did Pilsner, so I changed that and started grabbing Kolsch on the regular. Helles, too. The third beer that really opened my eyes was Stone Enjoy By, but it opened my eyes in a different way. Like so many of us, my path to obsession was paved with tongue thrashing hop bombs that left my palate in ruins. Once upon a time, it was commonplace for me to start with an Arrogant Bastard, mix in two Palate Wreckers, and finish with a Ruination. It was a hot June night earlier this year and I was half way thru a 12 oz. Enjoy By, trying to find my sea legs, and I realized, right then, I'm not that guy anymore. I've changed. I'm sure there's any number of reasons why, but I kissed the big imperial hop bomb IPAs goodbye with that last Enjoy By."
Rob Scott: "Like many of our ilk in the UK, I've been a dedicated follower of fashion, seeking out hazy, citrusy thirds of DDH IPA, turning my back on the drab pint of English Bitter. My mind was changed on a visit to the North Yorkshire Moors and the rediscovery of that style in an ancient stone pub on a cold summer day. This cask amber beer was subtle and balanced, it was most noticeably fresh and alive, and it was gone before I fully appreciated how good it was. In the last few weeks I've had examples from small and non-traditional breweries which, importantly, were served with great care and suggest a renewed interest in this cask classic. The Anspach & Hobday/Fullers ESB is one to mention. It's true to style, but not quite as grandad would know it, and it definitely puts English Bitter back on the board."
Michael Boyer: "For whatever reason, NE IPA's surge gave to me the IPA category as a whole this year. I smuggled so much Alvarado Street and Fieldwork beer home from my honeymoon that I had dirty clothes in my carry-on. I've been a silver surfer ever since."
Chris Koentz: "At the start of 2017 I was pretty hard against the hazy IPA trend. I didn't want to brew one, or really have any interest in drinking them. It felt lazy as a brewer to intentionally brew hazy beer. However, I have come around. There are a few factors that played into my shift on hazy IPA. Number one, listening and learning about how some of the premier brewers of the style do what they do through GBH podcasts and finding any article out there by these guys about why and how they are making this beer. Second, after I had the Fair State/Modern Times collab Spirit Føul, I 'got it.' The fruit-forward hop character from massive whirlpool and dry hopping, low bitterness, the high finishing gravity, and the water profile all play into these beers, and that is what makes them different. That being said, there are great examples and others that miss the mark. For me it comes down to the fine balance of finding just enough bitterness to balance the big body but still give a great juicy character."
Manny Gumina: "This year was about rediscovering how classically great the New Glarus offerings are. I lived in Minnesota for four years prior to this May, and never found it worth it to drive across the border to load up since there are a plethora of fantastic Minnesota offerings to choose from. When I moved back to Wisconsin, I started plowing through everything New Glarus: year-rounds, seasonals, and thumbprint series. Dan Carey at New Glarus consistently brews what I love in beer: crisp, clean, and drinkable."
Tom: "One beer in particular that really surprised me was Interboro's Stay Gold. The hype around the beer due to the collaboration with Run the Jewels kinda clouded my perception of it. Was it truly great, or just a good IPA? They brewed more of it this fall, and after the hype kinda dropped off, I was able to enjoy a couple cans, and try it side by side with Focal Banger. I enjoy Stay Gold more and more every time I'm able to get my hands on a can now. I'm glad I let the hype clear out.
KCBC Morid Hour (Black Pilsner) and Allagash's Hibernal Fluxus (Milk Stout with Saison yeast) surprised me as well. They both approached dark beers in a really interesting way, and change my perception of how those styles could be interpreted."
Carla Jean Lauter: "Shipyard Brewing in Portland, Maine has always vexed me with their disregard for the fact that their beers are loaded with excess diacetyl. They brew English-style ales, sure, but I cannot get over the buttery slickness of most of their lineup, and I've been hoping that they'd fix their process somehow so that I could actually enjoy their beers for once. This bothers me so much that I really have trouble recommending anyone visit there or try their beers when they are visiting Portland. This year, they put out a hazy IPA called Finder, and I cannot find fault with it at all. It is well-made, hasn't got a hint of diacetyl, and is something I actively want to purchase regularly. I did not think I would ever get to the point where I'd say that, but they surprised me—and changed my mind. The other Shipyard beers are still not for me, but Finder is an excellent beer, and I can say that with full conviction."
Nick Yoder: "My 2017 revelation wasn't a style, but rather Noble hops. It certainly began with those German/Czech beers, but it really came to a head when I cracked open an Evicted from Central State and realized just how much I love that distinct spiciness."
C. Sean West: "My favorite new style of beer I homebrewed this year was Tropical Stout. It brings a lot of the sweetness and alcohol that you might find in a Pastry Stout without being cloying sweet and still tastes like beer. It's also a good educational beer because of the history behind the style and since many people new to the style will expect it to be brewed with tropical fruits. I'm hoping more commercial breweries will start making them in 2018."
Michael Kiser: "Oatmeal Stouts, Milk Stouts, and Porters made a comeback for me this year. The best ones I've had dance on that line between sweet and dry, and always with a luscious texture and a succinct finish. There's something so satisfying about the styles that I even found myself drinking them well before the typical seasonality, starting in August and September, and certainly now. It's a style that can be relevant and immersive any time of year as you tweak the finish. The flabby '90s versions of this style, which plagued my memory, have been replaced by the ever-perfecting versions by contemporary brewers. Spiteful makes a fantastic one in Chicago. Our clients, East Brother, make one in the East Bay, and Off Color's Known Gnome in on tap in their new taproom right now."
As you think about the year in beer, is there a brew that made you come around to an entire style? Let us know by joining the Fervent Few. You can even buy a full year's membership at once now, without fees! Happy holidays, y'all.

Two of the biggest and respected technology companies in the world appear to be battling out for the control of a British company, Imagination Technologies, that specialises in mobile graphics technology.
Intel has upped its investment in Imagination Technology through its subsidiary financial vehicle, Intel Capital Corporation, and now owns nearly 7 million shares of the British tech company.
In a statement made public to the London Stock Exchange after the share purchase, Intel declared that it "reserves the right to announce an offer or a possible offer to acquire the shares in Imagination Technologies Group which it does not already own and/or to take any other action which would otherwise be restricted under Rule 2.8 of the City Code within six months from the date of this announcement if there is a material change in circumstances or in [certain events]".
Intel is already a firm backer of Imagination, which provides the semiconductor company with a license for the PowerVR technology which is found in a number of popular devices including the iPhone and Sony's Xperia X1 mobile phone.
It is not known whether Intel will be using Imagination Technologies Intellectual Property in the forthcoming Larrabee, Intel's own take at General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit.
Unsurprisingly, shares of Imagination Technologies have crept up significantly in the past few days gaining nearly 80 percent in the last 11 days alone; but is still around half the value of the share price of January 2008

Intel knows that Apple could eventually try to acquire the company and become a fierce competitor to Intel. Apple has already purchased PA Semi and is said to be working on its own low power, high performance ARM processor family for its products.

I oppose any individual not to coo and spout over baby garments, it is inescapable, get a couple of baby girl trousers that are made for babies, or a couple of mentors that are littler than the palm of your hands, and it is a characteristic response to let out a reverberating 'ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!' Unfortunately, when looking for baby girl garments the adorableness of the considerable number of things accessible can divert no end – to the point that it can take hours to purchase garments, that on the off chance that you were obtaining them for a grown-up, would just take a matter of minutes.
There are a few issues with purchasing baby garments however, of which numerous unseasoned parents are unconscious. Here we will talk about a portion of the contemplation you ought to make while picking garments for your baby.
Essentially, in spite of the fact that you will need your baby to look adorable in their new baby girl's garments, guarantee that few prerequisites are met before considering what the garments really resemble. Appearance is considerably less imperative than different variables. Reasonableness is the most critical component: you have to buy things of dress that are effectively expelled – you will welcome this when you are changing your baby at 3am and all you need to do is return to bed.
The material from which the garments are made is likewise a high need; you should guarantee that you purchase garments in a skin inviting material. Infants and little kids have skin that is considerably more touchy than that of a grown-up; when purchasing garments guarantee the materials are normal, have an abnormal state of breath ability and that they are not very tight. The kinds of material you ought to consider are those that are delicate and produced using regular filaments. If all else fails, stick to cotton.
Next, you have to guarantee that the dress is anything but difficult to expel and that you can get to different zones (sadly, by and large this is the base!) without having to completely evacuate the article of clothing each time. Keep to basic outlines that are direct and simple to utilize, excessively numerous fastenings and it is anything but difficult to fall into a tantrum.
Baby blue trousers should be anything but difficult to clean, pampers are chaotic and have no worry concerning regardless of whether they are demolishing their garments, – it can be especially baffling in the event that you purchase a thing of fashioner baby attire, just to have them destroyed with stains inside ten minutes of wearing them. Ensure that you buy garments that can be washed at high temperatures without losing shape; along these lines you can prevent stains from grabbing hold.
Obtaining baby garments online is presumably the most handy game-plan, it implies that you can shop from the comfort of your own home, and are less inclined to get occupied 'umming and ahhing' over all the cutesy garments!

MetadataShow full item record
Immunization of rabbits with a faecal extract of the human body louse (Pediculus humanus) induced a high titre of specific IgG. The mean weight of blood taken by females fed on the immunized rabbits was significantly lower (29%) than taken by females fed on the control rabbits. The mean number of eggs per female fed on the immunized rabbits was significantly lower than for females fed on the control rabbits. The hatchability of the eggs laid by lice fed on immunized rabbits (91%) was significantly lower than of those fed on control rabbits (94%). The rate of development of nymphs fed on control rabbits was significantly higher than those fed on the immunized rabbits. There was no difference in survival rates of lice fed on immunized and control rabbits.

What we learned from the Shellshock security problem
Times are gone where small companies like us can trust that they are not the primary targets of any new hacking attacks.
Some months ago triggered by security newsletters and alerts from IBM we checked if our systems were affected by the so-called Shellshock security issue. And indeed, although this hack was just out we found some evidence that someone tried to compromise our servers.
I think we dealt with this problem very seriously and did everything right 😉
We spent a lot of time on informing customers, take systems offline until appropriate fixes were released, apply fixes, check if attacks were potentially successful and so on. But on the other hand our IT costs would explode if we`d handle all security related issues with this same engagement.
There are three important things, we learned from this incident.
1. Know what happens on your systems
One major thing is to know what happens on your system. This means to become aware of security relevant incidents and to be able to check if anything unusual happens now or happened in the past. Security information and event management (SIEM) is the key word for that. There are some big players in the market who cover a lot of questions in this area.
But I fear that these systems do not fit to our environment and IT budget. But there are alternatives and upcoming tools with a more flexible and smaller footprint.
2. Have a dedicated plan
To know what to do when a security problem is identified is the second important step.
How serious is the problem? What systems are affected?
Who has to be informed? Who has to be involved? What steps have to be done?
And finally what can we do better next time?
To be prepared is key factor here.
3. Keep systems up to date
We always try to keep the operating system of our production environment up to the latest supported and available level. Which was a big help in this case, as the shellshock fixes required a specific operating system patch level.
Well this was not the case for our test environment. We found 2 servers that were not patched, which in this case meant installing SP3 for SLES 11 in order to make use of the available Shellshock patches. This was really time consuming and needs to be avoided in future.
Keeping systems up to date is an ongoing but absolute necessary task.
You think, all of this is nice to have? I don't think so.
The next security issue is out for some weeks; its funny name is POODLE. Are you prepared?

While some doubted that this would ever occur, the E-Commerce Times has previewed the financial standing of several e-commerce plays (including both clicks-and-mortar outfits and pure-play internet companies) to find that a great number have reached profitability of late in response largely to market pressures and a ruthlessly restrictive investment environment.

Webby Awards to Laud Site Traffic (internet.com, March 19th)
Stepping out from its former design and buzz-centric award scheme, the Webbies are set to introduce three new categories that award the 'best sellers' of the Web. That is, those internet properties who hold either the greatest unique audiece or the fastest growing traffic in particular markets during a May Sweeps month will get awards along with the design and content crowd. While this move clearly has 'ad potential' written all over it, the Webby organizers and measurement firm Nielsen//NetRatings have suggested that the employment of special ad promotions or popup-based campaigns will see sites rendered ineligible for the awards.
Online Publishers Debate Free vs Paid Content (internet.com, March 19th)
Finally it would seem that web publishers are starting to realise that the 'free vs fee' debate was off-base, and that there will always remain a value in each. Publishers must, the CEO of NY Times Digital has stated, instead concentrate on fostering those aspects of their business that show the greatest profit potential. For him, that's a combination of free ad-supported content, syndication, classifieds, paid services and email marketing. For others, the balance may be shifted to favor one product in particular. Risking everything to transition to a subscription model, though, is not always the best response to a slow ad market.

No New Behemoths (BusinessWeek Online, March 18th)
This commentary/analysis asserts that those net pioneers who were able to establish their brands and audiences quickly have not only become the present giants (think Yahoo, AOL, Amazon, eBay, MSN) in e-commerce, but will remain that way as they strengthen their positions and mindshare to the chagrin of hopeful startups. The article concludes, then, that the best short-term course of action for any retailer looking to expand its online presence without competing with the biggies is to establish partnerships and licensing arrangements with them.

How to Pinpoint Stellar Sellers Online (E-Commerce Times, March 18th)
While common perception has it that small and affordable items (or digital goods) are the best products to sell through online channels as a result of the apprehension many consumers have with purchasing items whose shipping costs or lack of a physical sample prove prohibitive, successes in melding strong brands, personalized services and niche marketing around big-ticket products have proven that e-tailers needn't limit themselves according to such preconceptions.

Courts Silence '.USA' Marketer (internet.com, March 12th)
Proving its newfound determination to cut down on deceptive spam mailings - with an emphasis on those useless 'patriotic' items promoted in the wake of Sept 11 - the FTC has successfully shut down the operations of a group who were duping consumers out of their money with the promise of offering .USA domain names. That extension has not been approved by ICANN or any other governing body, and thus while the addresses may exist on a remote server somewhere, they cannot be seen by the general web populace, making them worthless.

E-Commerce: back and Bigger Than Ever? (E-Commerce Times, March 8th)
While making the point that e-commerce should never rightly be described as 'back', since it never really went anywhere.

House Panel Approves Kid-Friendly Internet Domain (Reuters, March 7th)
.kids was one of the more promising proposals delivered to ICANN back when they accept a round of submissions that resulted in a few new domains - such as .info and .biz - being given the green light. Unfortunately, .kids was knocked back for various reasons. The concept behind the push, however, has been given a chance to live on as a sub-domain of the newly released .us space, whereby sites devoid of material inappropriate for youngsters would be able to establish a presence at a .kids.us domain. A Congressional panel gave the nod Thursday to a bill that would see this come to fruition.

Busty and the Bass have come a long way in a short time. The nine members of the band connected in their first week at McGill University's jazz school in Montreal and started jamming. Casual house party gigs soon led to scorching live performances in front of thousands on stages across the U.S., Europe, and their home country of Canada. The group's natural chemistry and an ability to create a sound that Complex says is "best described as a lovechild between jazz, hip-hop, and electro-soul" has been a major hit with audiences, bouncing along and chanting "Bus-ty!" in unified delight. Even R&B legend Macy Gray is a fan of Busty and the Bass, praising their soulful living room session cover of her hit song "I Try" as "beeyooteefoh".
The band is gearing up to release their debut full-length album. Compared to their previous three EPs, the album finds them focused on the project as a whole, rather than just a collection of songs. It is also a continuation of their infectious brand of danceable electro-soul, hip-hop and funk.

After years of searching, I think I've found my craft - embroidery.
My pal, Nan, over at Tattooed Yarn, is teaching me all about hand sewing, via her blog and e-mails. And she started me out with embroidery. I bought a kit from Sublime Stitching and the book, The Alabama Stitch Book.
I started with the kit and am working on learning and becoming proficient at basic stitches. I'm learning on an old Ikea dish towel with citrus fruit printed on it. I'm simply following the lines and trying different stitches. I'm also reading the Alabama book, but I'm thinking it will be a while before I attempt any project in that book - they're intimidatingly beautiful.
I really like embroidery - it's very mellow and simple, yet beautiful and open to all sorts of possibilities.
