Editor: I admit, I was of two minds. I have lived in cities where the toll of excess is written in the streets - bottles rolling in the gutter, baggies emptied of their drug content, run-ins with the cops. It was not pretty. And it was endemic to areas with late-night establishments, where the last call was not always last, and some patrons merely moved the party outdoors.
On the other hand, I have loved those cities for their vibrancy: the availability of places to eat and/or drink at all hours among other nocturnal beings; the sense that -- no matter the time -- one was not alone. Back then I worked at a large newspaper, and would sit at my desk late into the night, ignoring the clock to meet a deadline. It was a comfort to know I could walk outside and still find life around me. It felt, oddly, safe.
Now that after so many sea changes we live here. I have found St. Augustine Beach, for all its modest size, to have so much of what a larger city offers: commerce, culture, convenience, all the while being a relatively quiet beach town.
People come on vacation, wanting to unwind. Alarm clocks are left behind.
But when I heard about the extended hour for bar liquor sales, I wondered, which of these things does the beach want to be? Tourist destination? Nightlife spot? Or quiet residential retreat, for retirees and others lucky enough to live and work here?
I guess the answer is all of the above, and that makes good business sense.
There is clearly not the danger of recklessness in a small seaside community as in a large metropolis. But it would be sad to see the fallout of late bar closings on the police blotter. Let's hope the peace and quiet persists, while people drink their fill.

Bruce Davidson's Favourite Photograph
Bruce Davidson is perhaps best known for his photo-essays documenting marginal and counter culture groups in the United States. He first travelled to Britain in 1960, the same year he captured this captivating image. Davidson stumbled upon this young girl whilst driving down a street in London in his Hillman Minx convertible. She was with two friends and held a tiny stray kitten in her arms. Davidson, who usually spent a great deal of time with the subjects of his photographs, only briefly visited a club with the group before moving on. The young girl, however, left a lasting impression on the photographer himself. The photograph, taken with a normal 50mm lens, with a wide aperture, has become one of Davidson's favourite images. He has since stated, "I didn't know where she had come from, and I didn't get her name, but there was something about that face – the hopefulness, positivity and openness to life – it was the new face of Britain."

Hops are the main ingredient in beer.
Most people are aware of this, but do you know that hops grow on vines and cable wire. During harvest the whole vine is harvested. Check out this video and see how hops are harvested and processed to send out to breweries for beer production.
Next, check out this video and learn more about a particular grower and how their main supplier is not Miller or Anheuser-Busch, its microbrewers.

That's a great idea to sleep a night in there first at home, for the dogs. That should help them be more comfy with it. Be sure to keep something with them that smells like home for their beds, a favorite plush toy...a favorite sleeping blanky...anything that they can smell and feel homey with. :)
Sounds like you really put a full day in and well worth it. I wish you good traveling and lovely relaxing camping!

Guest blogger: Jeff Zimmitti, Rosso Wine Shop
Inspired by a friend who turned me onto a 1991 Dominus some months back, I proposed to our tasting group that I source a few 1991's and we compare 18-year-old Napa Cabernet. As my inclinations are almost always old world (I will generally pull an Italian or French wine as my "go to" wine) this tasting might be the one to start to alter my thinking.
These wines were all amazing. They had some things in common from a profile perspective but they were all distinct and delicious. Not a corked or damaged wine in the bunch and a fantastic experience overall.
We tasted the wines blind and none were decanted. The group's overwhelming favorite was the Insignia. But we decided this might not be fair because the Insignia had 10% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, so not a "true" Cabernet. My blind favorite was the Montelena (along with one other person).
This is the order they ended up being served blind.
1991 Laurel Glen Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Very good. Fleshy, easy fruit. Good aromatics. Dark red berries and earth.
1991 Montelena Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Napa Valley
More complex than #1. Higher acid. Some good funk in the nose. Cherries. Mint. Forest floor.
1991 Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley
Silky. Tar in the nose. Intense. Gobs of fruit on the palate.
1991 Joseph Phelps Insignia Napa Valley
Tomatoes and Twizzlers in the nose. Nice brightness. Rich. Good balance.
1991 Dunn Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Dusty. Rich red fruit. Bright acidity and a little funk in the finish.
1991 Spottswoode Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Red candied nose. Silky texture. Great balance of intensity and richness. Well done.
Go find some older California wines and give it whirl.

Good. And with a few tweaks, great.
That's the bottom line from this blogger about the Rusty Mackeral, from the creators of Franks Market and Chef Jack Moran.
· Service—excellent. My party was greeted immediately upon entry, offered drinks and consulted on menu options. I was thrilled with the beer list (Bronx Ale, Ommegang, etc.)
· Food--high quality. The chef is using high quality ingredients arranged with creativity. We had the roasted peppers, codfish croquettes, mussels and octopus. They were very good but too salty. This author loves salt and its notable when I notice the salt content.
· Ambiance—good but not great. The hanging lights glare in your eyes a bit. The music was not particularly soothing. And the a/c was on low, which could be a problem given the proximity of the kitchen to the dining room. Climate control will be really important in this small space.
· Prices--a touch too high for what is clearly a casual dining experience. On the one hand, the prices are high given the quantities of food served. But I would not want the chef to lower quality in order to lower prices. A compromise is in order. The drink prices are definitely too high. In this neighborhood a bottle of Bronx Pale Ale should run about $6 in a restaurant—not $9. I had one but would not order another.
All in all, the RM is a welcome addition to the Heights' small food scene and brings a high-concept menu to the community. It occupies a welcome middle ground between the comfort food at Saggio and Next Door and the luxury service at New Leaf. I'll go back soon. And with a few tweaks as noted above, I'll be a regular.

The Forth Bridge lights
After 2 years in darkness the Forth Bridge is finally lit up again, by 1000 new spotlights. I remember the old lights. You were never sure they were on at first; the lights came on gradually until the bridge was tastefully lit. These new lights though?
See for yourself from this picture.
As you can see, the lights are very… open? The bridge looks fantastic but do the lights really need to be so blatant? It's seriously one of the worst examples I think I've seen of structure lighting. You couldn't see the light source from the old lights but these lights are way too open. The light pollution around the bridge itself is huge. A snow shower moved over last night and you could see the lights streaking up way above the bridge for a fair height. It's simply too bright.
For photography purposes this is an issue. The old favourite panoramic shot of both bridges with a wide angle lens is not really an option at night anymore, the road bridge is a lot darker than the rail bridge and the lens flares from those lights are terrible. You could try a grad filter to ease out some of the rail bridge but I think that would make the flares even worse. See below for an example, I've marked the lens flares on the shot.
Not that long ago I was shooting star trails with the bridge, that'll be impossible now. You simply couldn't get those lights under control for a 30s exposure and the resulting pollution will mask the stars anyway. I didn't try from down the Hawes Pier last night but I suspect the problem will be even worse down there.
It's not a lot better from the North Queensferry side either sadly, although there does seem to be access under the bridge from that side with the works now removed, one to be better checked out in daylight.
I do hope that Scotrail don't leave the lights like this although I suspect the bridge will now be like this forever. IN a time where we are more away of light pollution it seems very odd to light up an iconic structure in this fashion, especially as we're all supposed to be getting "greener". Frankly, I preferred it in the dark.

I agree that the lights may be bad for photographers – but the bridge is lit up for people to enjoy at the site itself!

Hello Grant,
I am really pleased that you have made this information available. I am attending the Edinburgh Festival this week, and was setting some time aside to be able to go visit The Forth Rail bridge at night to take some photographs…… as I was in the company of my family, it was a hard decision to drag them away from the festivities of Edinburgh, for me to indulge in my hobby of photography.
I am non too glad that the bridge has been lit up like a xmas tree 😦 I too remember the subdued lighting of old that was very in tune with the grandeur of this monument…. to drag it into the 21st century with this horrid lighting has disheartened me.. and saved me a wasted trip to get some photographs… I think I will just have to savour my memories of the old rusting red monster that meant so much to me on my wayward journey moving from Scotland to live in England for the last 40 years… I do so remember this iconic bridge with pride, the gateway to Scotland's Highlands…. I much preferred the subdued lighting… I do hope you persevere with your photographing of this amazing structure, and find a workaround of the ghastly Halogen Halo that now envelopes it !

Microsoft today updated the Office app for Android smartphones, adding support for Dropbox and further integration with the company's own OneDrive cloud storage service.
The update to Office Mobile — the name of the all-in-one app that includes Word, Excel and PowerPoint — was promised two weeks ago when Microsoft announced a partnership with Dropbox.
Shortly after Microsoft and Dropbox trumpeted the deal, the former updated its iOS apps — Word, Excel and PowerPoint for the iPhone and iPad — to let users connect to their Dropbox accounts from within the apps.
Office Mobile for Android smartphones now connects to Dropbox, part of the deal Microsoft struck with its rival two weeks ago.
Android's Office Mobile now does the same.
"With today's update, you'll get the same integration in Office Mobile for Android phone, including the ability to … add Dropbox as an online storage location, browse your files on Dropbox, [and] use Office Mobile app for Android Phones to edit your Dropbox files and automatically save them back to Dropbox," Microsoft said in a short blog post today.
Unlike Office for iOS, which Microsoft has split into separate refreshed apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint, Android's Office Mobile retains an older UI and the three-app grouping that was formerly the sole option for iPhone owners.
The new Android app also now lets users share a link to a OneDrive-stored document, spreadsheet or presentation via email. OneDrive is Microsoft's cloud-based storage and sync service, and competes with Dropbox.
Although Office Mobile on Android can be used free of charge by consumers, it requires a linked Office 365 business-grade subscription for commercial — read work — purposes. The same goes for the iPhone and iPad apps.
Still missing from Microsoft's mobile Office portfolio is a version suitable for Android tablets. Microsoft has been taking requests for a beta program since Nov. 6, and has been sending invitations to some potential participants. All Microsoft has said about a launch date is "early 2015."
As with iOS — both iPhone and iPad — the Android tablet version of Office will feature separate apps for Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
The updated Office Mobile for Android can be downloaded from Google Play.

As a child I colored and painted with my Grandmother. This was my early introduction into art. Through High School and on to College I studied art. Afterwards, I did the next logical thing. I became a nurse! After many years of caring for others I have now come home to where my heart lives. . Welcome to Little House Treasures!
I use many different mediums, such as acrylics,water colors and pastels. I believe that working in a single medium is restrictive to my artistic process. Each idea manifests in its own individual style.
My inspiration comes from Family, my "Little House" and love of times gone by. I am most motivated by my Granddaughter who inspires me daily. For her I started a series of simplified painting patterns for little girls called "The Puddin'Pie Girls". I am offering patterns for your children so that they too can enjoy the thrill of bringing their own Paintings to life!

Geothermal Heat Pump in Downingtown, Exton & Chester Springs, PA and the Surrounding Areas
All About Buying Geothermal Heat Pumps
Investing in a geothermal heat pump could be a wonderful way to reduce your energy costs and replace your existing system as well. Although the installation cost can be a little higher because they must go underground, one of these units can cut your water heating costs in half in the winter and eliminate them completely in the summertime. That's because its design makes it much more efficient than other heating methods that are not built into the ground. Contact the professionals for Geothermal Heat Pump in Downingtown, Exton & Chester Springs, PA and the Surrounding Areas.
How Geothermal Heat Pumps Work
Despite the changing weather patterns that each season will bring your way, the ground your house is sitting on remains the same temperature-wise. A heat pump will absorb the heat that's distributed through the ground during the winter, as well as the heat your home receives during the summer, to effectively power your system. By working with the environment your house is built upon, one of these units will end up performing much better than a furnace or boiler while working with much greater efficiency.
How We Install Heat Pumps
Space must be made on the ground you live on to install a heat pump and that depends on factors such as your land availability, the composition of your soil, and the features you desire to have in your unit. Different soil types and rock combinations will affect the temperature of the ground we would be working with. After we survey your land, we'd look at what type of system is right for your house as different environments create different temperatures, which then means you'll need either a vertical or horizontal ground loop system. Then there's the amount of standing ground water in your land. The depth, volume, and quality of this water can be further used to power your heat pump for it to work properly. Finally, your landscaping and underground utilities will affect how we may install everything too.
Lower Energy Bills
DiBiase Heating & Cooling has all the proper training and know-how to correctly ascertain your property, and choose the Geothermal Heat Pump in Downingtown, Exton & Chester Springs, PA that's appropriate for your home. Besides the vast savings, you'll receive from your lowered energy bills, it's also possible that the cost of your heat pump can be added to your mortgage. Your bank or mortgage company is the best reference point to ask about this, however. What we can guarantee is increased energy efficiencies of up to 400 to 600%! An amazing gas furnace can only run at 98% efficiency for the sake of comparison. This is because on average a heat pump uses one unit of energy to produce three units of heat.

Julia Steel is back with a Marlin Model 1894 in .44 Magnum, a girl's best friend.
The Marlin 1894 was first introduced with a 24″ barrel and was available in a variety of pistol calibers like the .25-20 Win, .32-20 Win, .38-40, and .44-40.
The list of available calibers has only increased over time as the lever-action rifle's popularity has continued for well over a century. Today variants of the 1894 can still be purchased in 18.5, 20, and 22 inch barrels often chambered in .357 Magnum and .44 Magnum among many other calibers.
See why this classic lever action cowboy, or cowgirl, rifle is still turning heads after more than 100 years with the video below.

My friends of Facebook are woefully aware - because I keep boring them with the results - that for Christmas, I was the happy recipient of a new camera. I've taken a huge, one could even say embarrassing, number of photos since then, of which this is one -
Sorry to the squeamish amongst you. I should probably have put a warning. Aren't they like something out of a horror movie? These things used to terrify me as a nine-year-old, just out from England. Their name, 'Spitfires', is enough to scare anyone. As an adult, I'm less impressed by their name or their spikes, though I admit I did stand back a fair way to take this photo. I was quite surprised to find them, as I hadn't seen any for quite a few years. Of course, I hadn't actually been looking for them.
Spitfires are not caterpillars, but are the larvae of the Sawfly, which isn't a fly but a form of wasp. It's an unusual wasp in that it doesn't have a thin waist or a sting. The female lays its eggs inside eucalyptus leaves through a serrated ovipositor, hence the 'saw' part of its name. The larvae stay together in clumps like this during the day and move apart at night to feed on leaves. If they're disturbed while in these clumps, they exude a liquid from their mouths which smells strongly of eucalyptus - a deterrent to all but the most hardy predator. Note the use of the word 'exude'. They don't spit...but the name 'Dribblefires' doesn't have quite the same ring to it, does it?
From what I can gather, this particular group of hugging creatures is rather out of season. They're supposed to climb down the tree and pupate in the ground in the middle of spring and it's now the middle of summer, but maybe the unseasonal wet weather we've been having lately has spurred the sawflies on to laying more eggs. Whatever the reason, I'll be very careful when walking under that particular tree for a while to come.

They say variety is the spice of life and on this sightseeing tour of Cincinnati's highlights, you'll have to agree!
Your adventure starts at the historic Findlay Market, where you're led past tantalizing local produce, fresh meats, and bakery goods. Before departing, we stop for a tasty treat or two of the locals' favorites.
Leaving the market, we hop on the sleek and modern streetcar for a short ride to one of Over-the-Rhine's favorite areas, Washington Park. Amid the beautiful architecture, historic landmarks, and playful water features, we hear about the amazing revitalization of this area.
Then, all aboard the streetcar again, to the heart of downtown, where we tantalize your taste buds with another taste of Cincinnati's local favorites. You won't be disappointed — the locals who flock here never are!
Next up, hold onto your hat as we quickly ascend 45 floors to the observation deck of the Carew Tower for fantastic views of Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, and, if we're lucky, Indiana.
From there, after strolling through the delightful Fountain Square area, we walk three blocks to The Banks riverfront development, complete with trendy eateries, a riverfront park, and home to the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals. Then, at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center we have a once in a life-time opportunity to touch a piece of the Berlin Wall.
A few steps away, one of Cincinnati's most beautiful and fun-filled riverfront parks begs to be explored. We meander through its gardens and quirky water features with the mighty Ohio River as our backdrop.
Our tour of Cincinnati ends here, but don't worry, your streetcar ticket is good for the remainder of the day, so you're free to explore more of the city at your leisure.

Read This - Genealogy Book Review
It's been a while since I've posted - gosh, life right? In addition to genealogy, one of my main hobbies is reading. I love learning about the human story. It's why I do what I do. That being said, I don't really do plugs for books.
I'm breaking that rule now. I'm March, I had the privilege of meeting a Frenchman named Nordine Mohamedi. Nordine has spent his entire life not really knowing very much about his American father. He took an AncestryDNA test and not only confirmed who his father was - he also became connected with his father's family. Nordine flew from France to Texas so that he could meet his father's sister and some of his cousins. I was part of that journey and met him too.
Y'all. Nordine wrote a book about his struggle to find his father, what his life was like growing up as a child of mixed heritage in France, and what his future goals are. I encourage you, strongly, to read his first-hand account of what a $100 DNA test can do for you, and how it can change your life. See the link to the book below. Buy it. This is what family history and genealogy is all about. It's why we do what we do, as researchers.

Prior to May 3rd, if a Steam gift was refused, you'd be stuck with a useless copy of a game you probably don't want sitting in your inventory until you found someone else (who also probably didn't really want it) to give it to.
"Steam Gifting will now be a system of direct exchange from gift buyer to gift receiver, and we will be retiring the Gift to E-mail and Gift to Inventory options." Valve said.
Luckily, Valve has finally noticed that issue. In a recent blog post, they outline some important changes they've made to their gifting system to make generosity even easier. Now if a gift is refused, a full refund is given to the purchaser in place of the copy of the game in their inventory.
Also, thankfully, you no longer have to worry if the game is going to work or not when sending it to someone in a different region. Either it's guaranteed to work, or they'll let you know that it won't work before you purchase, removing a good chunk of trial and error from the process.
What do you think of the changes implemented? Join in the conversation in our comment section below!

If I never had to breathe,
then you never would believe
that fairy tales were haunted.
Darling this isn't what I wanted.
I gave you what I had to give
and then you took my right to live.
Told me that I wasn't worth it,
that I really don't deserve it.
Even though I am a mistake
I still count as a life to take.
I can't control what you say to me
but I can control how deep I bleed.
Don't fall on any of the memories
the truth you told makes it hard to breathe.
You lied, your words I can't forgive,
I tried but yet I can't forget.

'I will probably never return to F1' - Raikkonen
- News:
Raikkonen's manager confirms Renault talks
- News:
Raikkonen has approached Renault - Boullier
- News:
Kubica would welcome Raikkonen at Renault
- Drivers:
- Kimi Räikkönen
Former world champion Kimi Raikkonen is unlikely to return to Formula One despite ongoing reports he is considering a comeback in 2011. He quit at the end of 2009 and is now taking part in the world rally championship with Citroen.
"You never know but I will probably never return to Formula One," he said. "It's something I did for many years, I had many great moments. I won a world championship title, which is what I always wanted, but times have changed. Now I'm in rallying and there are many other things apart from Formula One in life."
Raikkonen admitted the Le Mans 24-hour race was a temptation. "I would like to try but you need to find the right team," he said. "If you want to win, there are only two, Peugeot and Audi. One day, I hope, there will be an opportunity."

02 May Tired of Emergency Filter Underdrain Repairs?
Are You Tired of Emergency Filter Underdrain Repairs?
The Answer is ORTHOS
Yet another water plant superintendent called me this week singing a familiar tune:
"My block underdrain has blown up and the manufacturer is blaming me for its failure!"
The second line of this sad song is:
"The manufacturer also claims the contractor didn't install it correctly!"
"My block underdrain has blown up and the manufacturer is blaming me for its failure!"
If one sells a product that isn't resilient to varying conditions and can't tolerate some installation error, is the product truly of high quality? Or is this a case of planned obsolescence?
And don't forget the third important lyric:
"They have a new product that'll solve all our problems if we buy today."
•In an industry that demands reliability and resiliency, why are block underdrains being installed over-and-over again?
•Can one truly believe that the unproven, overly-narrow slotted cap will perform any better over the long-term?
Wouldn't a monolithic underdrain that features reinforced concrete, is locked into the sidewalls and filter floor, and lasts for many, many decades, be better?
Remember, ORTHOS has never had an underdrain failure. Don't give into the block guys' demand!
ORTHOS can utilize the block channel (flume) for installation of an air header and create a short plenum (±12″) to minimize hydraulic profile. With a change of media design, maximum backwash rate, or trough elevation, ORTHOS can engineer a solution that provides excellent distribution, long filter runs, and effective media cleaning.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (1:30 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) launched a joint attack on the defenses of the Turkish-backed militants near the town of Abu Rasin on Friday.
Backed by heavy artillery, the SDF and SAA forces stormed the positions of the so-called "Syrian National Army" at the town of Musharifah Umm Shu'ayfah, resulting in a brief battle with the Turkish-backed militants.
According to reports from the Al-Hasakah countryside, the SAA and SDF troops were able to expel the militants from the town and impose full control over this rural area near Abu Rasin.
The reports would add that the Syrian Army and SDF troops are currently carrying out joint attacks along the Abu Rasin front to retake the territories lost to the Turkish-backed militants while they were still deploying their forces to this area.
With a plethora of tanks and heavy weapons, the SDF and SAA troops have positioned themselves to retake the northwestern countryside of Al-Hasakah and push out the Turkish-backed militants.
