Metroid: Other M is an unprecedented collaboration that blends the slick, action-packed production of the world-renowned Team Ninja development team with the game design talents of the creators of the original Metroid. Metroid: Other M is a dramatic new direction for a legendary franchise and a bold new blend between cinematics, storytelling and the best in interactive entertainment.
For decades, Samus Aran has been known as one of the first female protagonists in video games, and one of the most enigmatic. Having traded her haunted past for the solitary life of a bounty hunter, Samus finally tells her own tale in this revealing, personal story of her failings, her flaws and ultimately her motivation.
Game Features
- Metroid: Other M takes the best elements of 1st-person and 3rd-person gaming to create a seamless blend between gameplay, story-telling and dynamic cinematography, that feels like a movie the player can control. Players hold the Wii Remote controller sideways while navigating and battling in 3rd-person. However, at any moment, players can switch immediately to Wii Remote pointer controls to examine and explore the environments in 1st-person perspective
- Metroid fans know more about Samus' suits and weapons than they do about what drives her. That's about to change. The story begins immediately following the events of Super Metroid, when a baby Metroid gave its life to protect Samus. With voice acting and a rich story, players learn the engaging backstory of Samus as she weaves through an action-packed adventure aboard the Bottle Ship, a decommissioned space facility. As she hurtles into this new adventure, Samus will encounter her first mentor and Commanding Officer of the Galactic Federation, Adam Malkovich
- The development of Metroid: Other M is an exciting collaboration between Nintendo's Yoshio Sakamoto and Team Ninja. Sakamoto was the director of Super Metroid in 1994. Team Ninja is the renowned action developer of Ninja Gaiden. Metroid: Other M pairs Sakamoto's expert level design and exploratory focus of the classic Metroid series with Team Ninja's signature stylish, no-holds-barred action.

Moorland ankle snap!
Isn't my (usually v v skinny and boney) ankle a delightful heather colour! I don't know quite how I managed to do so much damage (broken ankle and all the tendons ripped out) just coming down awkwardly from a 4-inch-high stone, but there you go - I've obviously got real Injury Talent! Am in plaster for the next 5 weeks at least, and so this is somewhat curtailing my Watershed work.
However, Peter (Saddleworth Museum curator) and I got the Saddleworth Watershed exhibition sorted out, and I am being driven down there tomorrow to hold a celebratory event with the various groups I have been working with there: Oldham Cafe Writers' Group, Saddleworth Arts Festival workshop participants and the Canalside Quilters group who have produced some STUNNING textile pieces for the exhibition. (I'll put up some photos of the exhib later in the week.)
I had to postpone my workshops with the Mytholm Court ladies and Thorn Park deaf school, but went ahead yesterday with the performance for Hebden Bridge Arts Festival to celebrate the work I've been doing with the residents at Mytholm Court and with skateboarders from Hebden Bridge. Despite my ankle and crutches, I did a rap version of a poem the skateboarders and I had created; got the audience doing their own writing - about their thoughts on moorland, and on watersheds in their own lives; showed the fabby DVD of me working with the Thorn Park kids up on Ovenden Moor; shared various sections of the soundtrack that Bill (BBC soundman) and I have produced for the Watershed exhibition; played a lovely soundscape of the Hebden Bridge skatepark with interviews with teenage skaters that Bill and I had recorded; and shared a selection of the poems I have written about the Watershed since starting this project.
These two photos show some of the audience busy with their writing task. It always amazes me that I simply need to tell people that I am a writer, and complete strangers will - at my command - pick up pens and immediately start trying to express themself in writing - great stuff!!
This is a lovely poem that Dave wrote straight off the cuff.
Dave (pictured above) was born and bred on the Kent marshes and is clearly still coming to terms with being married to a Yorkshirewoman (shown v busy on the right!) and living up amongst our strange language!:
I am a flatlander
barely above the sea
who left the low places
for academia
and high thinking
(and perhaps long drinking).
The cry of the curlew
now the shriek of the moorland.
The murmured words,
lost glottal stops and
dropped aitches
now the flűd
(flood rhymes with food?!?)
of broader, higher words.
A longer view,
not of the sky,
but from the sky
but still that curlew cry
calls me back.
Well done Dave! And a big thank you to all the audience, and to Rebecca from the HB Arts Fest who looked after me so well - and to my very long-suffering partner Janina who had to zoom back home cos I'd forgotten the paper and pens....how on earth can I call myself a writer?!!

May 15, 1941 – September 1, 2018
Dad was born in Erin Ferry, Sk. on May 15th, 1941 and passed away suddenly on Sept.1, 2018. He spent his early years on the prairies in Wrixon and Debden, SK., where his parents, Robert John Hooker and Catherine MacIntosh Hooker, farmed. In the late 1950's they moved to Smithers, BC. He married Valerie Georgina Smith on Oct. 7th, 1960 and they had three children, Clifford, Carrie and Glenn.
Dad was always a hard-working guy. He started on the railroad, working with the B&B gang, but found he was away from his family too much, so he got a job with the Department of Highways on the bridge crew. When the Highways maintenance department was privatized in 1987, Dad went to work for, and was a shareholder of, Nechako Northcoast Construction Ltd. Dad loved his job running the bridge crew. He retired in 2007.
Growing up Dad was an avid fisherman, he enjoyed hunting as well and loved to go camping with family and friends. He was a good hockey player in his youth, and coached minor hockey in Smithers for many years. He was well liked and made many friends over the years.
Dad was predeceased by his parents Robert and Catherine Hooker and his wife of almost 55 years, Valerie. He is survived by his sons Clifford (Angela), Glenn (Liza), and his daughter Carrie (Tom) Spicer, and five grandchildren, Robert (Shaina), Kelly (Carrie Ann), Amanda (Gord), Cole and Tiana, and great grandchildren. He is also survived by his sister Roberta Bodger and sister-in-law Sandy Carlson.
At Dad's request, there will be no service.
Condolences for the Hooker family may be offered at www.raschraderfuneralhome.com.

Dog hair mats are impossible to comb. They are masses of shed and un-shed hair, dirt and debris. Long, thick, curly or silky haired dogs are most vulnerable to mats.So are dogs that like to play in water. How can you prevent these awful mats from forming? Brush your dog daily with a good quality brush to remove shed fur. If your pet has long hair, consider a hair cut. Clear fur is less likely to mat so bathe your pet regularly. Excessive licking or scratching also causes mats so promptly treat the source of your pets itching. A strong, healthy coat begins with good nutrition. If you do find a mat, eliminate it immediately before the situation becomes worse.
Remember, your pets count!

US and Egypt renew security cooperation despite political disagreements
WASHINGTON - US Secretary of State John Kerry's visit to Cairo at the beginning of August revealed a two-pronged US approach towards Egypt: full cooperation on strategic issues while pressing political reforms. For the Obama administration, this policy serves to support a strategic ally in a turbulent region while deflecting concerns of human rights groups and members of the US Congress.
For the Sisi administration in Egypt, the policy ensures continued US security assistance to help it fight a terrorist insurgency and protect its porous borders. Although Egypt remains annoyed by occasional US criticism on human rights, it views the new US policy as a positive development, particularly because it appears that punitive measures, such as suspending aid, are not likely to resurface.
In his August 2nd speech in Cairo marking resumption of the bilateral strategic dialogue, Kerry touched on all of the important issues in the relationship: cooperation against terrorism in Egypt and against the Islamic State (ISIS), training for the Egyptian military, support for the Egyptian economy and economic reforms and support for the "fundamental rights" of all Egyptian citizens.
Kerry specifically mentioned delivery of US-manufactured F-16 fighter jets, Apache helicopters, fast missile boats and armoured vehicles. He also spoke of "robust training" for the Egyptian military and "new suggestions about how to expand our cooperation in countering terrorism and enhancing border security".
From October 2013 to March 2015, much of the US military assistance to Egypt was suspended to protest the Egyptian government's violent crackdown on the opposition. The United States hoped to persuade the Egyptian government to reverse undemocratic practices.
But a combination of Egyptian national pride and substantial financial aid from its Gulf Arab allies made Egyptian leaders — especially President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi — resistant to pressure.
After much interagency wrangling, the Obama administration decided it was more important to restore aid to Egypt and resume the strategic dialogue.
There is growing recognition in Washington that Egypt is facing a dangerous terrorism threat. An unnamed State Department official said in early August that the United States decided on the new approach because "the Egyptians were facing a very serious threat from [ISIS]- affiliated organisations in the Sinai and [we] needed to help them and support what they're trying to achieve there." US punitive measures were not working as intended.
Underscoring this security imperative, Kerry said in Cairo that the United States and Egypt would resume military exercises, including Operation Bright Star, which had been held on a biennial basis prior to 2011.
For Sisi, the restoration of full US security assistance is an important achievement. Although Egypt has bought weapons systems from other countries, its military has been heavily dependent and trained on US equipment and systems since the late 1970s.
While cognizant of how important military assistance is to bilateral relations, the Obama administration has not given up advocating for human rights and democratic progress. While in Cairo, Kerry implied that government crackdowns were driving young people into the arms of militants. "The success of our fight depends on building trust between the authorities and the public," he said.
Kerry reportedly pressed Egyptian officials to undertake police reforms, protect freedom of assembly and speech and not to persecute non-governmental organisations.
After Kerry left Cairo, Tom Malinowski, assistant secretary of state for democracy, human rights and labour, met with Egyptian human rights groups and political party activists.
Such meetings and comments put the Egyptian government on notice that the United States will not turn a blind eye to human rights and democracy issues even while supporting its security needs. This has served to reduce criticism the Obama administration faced prior to the strategic dialogue from a number of human rights groups, newspapers, think-tank specialists and others claiming that the United States was coddling the Egyptian government.
Although many members of Congress have developed a favourable attitude towards Sisi, particularly in light of his comments earlier in 2015 that Islamic religious figures need to do a better job confronting the extremists' ideologies, there are still influential members who have not given up on the issue of political freedoms in Egypt.
On July 29th, a bipartisan group of senators wrote to Kerry asking that he make "political reform, human rights and fundamental freedoms" a central part of the strategic dialogue with Egypt.
Predictably, Egyptian officials, such as Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, disagree with US complaints on human rights and the issue remains a sticking point in the bilateral relationship. But, for the time being, the two countries are unlikely to allow these issues to scuttle the security relationship.

When Margaret's father died, she found great comfort in the animals and landscape of Ten Apple Farm. Walking with the goats, breathing in the smells of the woods, and caring for the animals through the meditative act of milking all helped her regain a feeling of connection with the world around.
We invite those experiencing sadness or loss of any kind to join us on these monthly small group evening or afternoon hikes with our goats (maximum 10 people). Hikes will follow the same trails and routine as our regular Goat Hikes, but participants will be invited to share their stories, or to hike in silence, if they wish.
Maximum 10 participants: $10/person

On the Market: Antique Cape Cod in Westport boasts historical, architectural significance
WESTPORT — Abraham Lincoln freed slaves during the Civil War, delivering his Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, although it was not until June 19, 1865, some 2 ½ years later, that word reached the state of Texas.
June 19, or Juneteenth, commemorates the abolishment of slavery in the United States, although there were other enslaved people who were freed here in the Northeast decades earlier. In Westport, David Judah signed emancipation papers in 1799 setting free a man named Tim, who had been owned by Capt. Joseph Bennett, a Revolutionary War veteran.
That fact, and others, magnify the historical importance of the David Judah House, a vintage Cape Cod at 96 Kings Highway North in the Old Hill neighborhood, circa 1760, which is on the market. The listing agent called the purchase of this home "a very rare opportunity to own a home of this significance and caliber," adding that the house "awaits the next chapter of its history," with its new owners.
Judah, the patriarch of one of Westport's first Jewish families and a justice of the peace, was also "a soldier in the Connecticut Line in 1776," according to the Jewish Virtual Library, a nonprofit and nonpartisan organization, meaning he probably fought against tyranny in the American Revolution. Judah was reportedly one of the town's first merchants.
The home's architectural and historical significance has been recognized by town preservationists. This vintage house has been painstakingly and lovingly preserved and restored, the agent said, and that renovation project caught the eye of Westport's Historic District Commission. In 2016, the HDC bestowed upon this house the Helen Muller Award for an Outstanding Property in a Local Historic District, saying of its owners in the citation "who purchased the house in 2014 and have since gone through a meticulous restoration, preserving every nail and piece of timber possible."
The following year the David Judah House was included on the Holiday House Tour hosted by the former Westport Historical Society, now known as the Westport Museum for History and Culture. That inclusion on the tour sort of brings the house full circle. At the museum the names of Tim, his wife Lill, also a freed Westport slave, and their two children Almine and Amos, are etched into red bricks in a walk that memorializes Westport's enslaved people.
The 10-room, 3,436-square-foot house sits in the Kings Highway North Historic District on a corner lot, across and to the right of the triangular green at the intersection Edge Hill Road, Kings Highway North, and Old Hill Road. "The triangular green was used as a training post in the French Indian War from 1754-1763 and later the Patriot militia during the Revolutionary War. Benedict Arnold's Patriot militia were stationed at Old Hill Road and trained there," according to historic information provided by the current owners and several online sources.
Information from the homeowners suggests that "once indoor plumbing became fashionable two bathrooms were added circa 1880. An addition was constructed in 1919 by renowned Westport artist, Caroline van Hook Bean, who used it as an art studio." A major renovation began in 2015 and uncovered evidence of a second addition. "During the roofing project in 2015, a newspaper dated 1938 was found between the walls suggesting the extension was built around that period," the owners said. "No expense was spared in preserving every inch of the property and home," and where preservation was not possible, they restored it "to historically correct standards."
Inside, the spacious living and family rooms feature exposed beams, and large fireplaces; the one in the living room has an inserted stove. The family room features a cathedral ceiling and a staircase to the second floor with decorative wrought iron railings. The banquet-sized formal dining room features wainscoting on the lower walls and French doors to the red brick patio and private backyard.

The National Honor Society students from Papillion La Vista South High School passed out candy and kindness notes to the kids at the elementary schools that feed into their high school.
"We are giving out kindness suckers to help spread kindness," said PLSHS Senior Olivia Moyle. "This is our service project, we usually do one per quarter, one per year."
Some of the student's faces broke out into smiles as they were handed the candy and walked away reading the messages attached to the candy that said things like, "The things that make me different are the things that make me ME!" and "There are so many beautiful reasons to be happy."
PLSHS Junior Monique Gaspard thinks the project is a wonderful and simple way to make someone's day.
"I think it is great, it makes me so happy when all of the little kids look at me and smile when I give them a piece of candy."
Prairie Queen Elementary School Principal Pam Lowndes loved that the high school students took the time to visit her school.
"They were very generous, they had them all ready to go with their kindness slips," she said.
"The kids faces just lit up when they received one. It's a great way to start our day and we really appreciate them taking the time."
The high school students said they hope they made at least one elementary school student's day a little bit brighter.
Papillion La Vista Community Schools has joined other schools across the metro area in the #BeKind initiative this school year. The district theme for 2018-2019 is "In a world where you can be known for anything, be known for kindness."

it was two weeks before Christmas 2005 when an
electrical fire swept through Marc and Laura Feaster's
Island Heights home, burning it to the ground. Marc and
Laura, their three children and the family dog, Maisey,
escaped the middle-of-the-night blaze, but the family
lost everything–even the presents under the tree.
The charming town of Island Heights, nestled along
the steep bluffs of the Toms River, was a special place
for Marc and Laura; they both grew up summering and
learning to sail in the tiny Ocean County hamlet. The

After the Christmas blaze, Marc and Laura considered
rebuilding, but were apprehensive about returning to the
scene of the devastating fire. Instead, they moved north
about 35 miles to Shrewsbury. But the lure of Island
Heights remained strong. After the death of Laura's parents, she and Marc were able to purchase their home—
the Island Heights place where Laura had summered as a
child. They razed the house and started afresh, creating a
new summer house that looks as though it has been there
for a century. "The location was so sentimental," says

We often talk on this forum about book ending our footwear with either something in the top half of our outfit or with our hair. And we have also talked at great length about nude or blonde footwear.
I have become a complete convert of the nude (for me) footwear concept with my taupe patent pointy toe pumps - which I do not book end with anything. I have also fallen in love with light colored footwear for summer with my bone/silver sandals and my bone laser cut oxfords.
This has me thinking about light colored boots for fall/winter. I had to purge my light beige suede ankle boots due to the high heel height but I really liked how they could make a fall and winter outfit look less heavy when worn with nude micro fishnets.
So could light colored boots work for me? Something like these?

Oscar nominated actor Robert Forster has died aged 78.
The star's publicist told The Hollywood Reporter he passed away in Los Angeles, California on Friday, after losing his battle with brain cancer.
The prolific actor amassed over 100 film and TV credits during his career, but scored his Academy Award nomination for his role as Max Cherry in Quentin Tarantino's 1997 film Jackie Brown.
His last movie role was a reprisal of his Breaking Bad character, Ed, in El Camino: A Breaking Bad Movie, which was released on Netflix the same day as his death.
Robert's Breaking Bad co-star Bryan Cranston took to Twitter to share his condolences, writing: "I'm saddened today by the news that Robert Forster has passed away.
"A lovely man and a consummate actor. I met him on the movie Alligator (pic) 40 years ago, and then again on BB. I never forgot how kind and generous he was to a young kid just starting out in Hollywood. RIP Bob."
Robert made his movie debut opposite Marlon Brando and Elizabeth Taylor in 1967's Reflections in a Golden Eye. He went on to have a celebrated career, which even included stints on Broadway, beginning in 1965 with Mrs. Dally.
The actor is survived by his children, Bobby, Elizabeth, Kate and Maeghen; his grandchildren, Tess, Liam, Jack and Olivia; and his longtime partner, Denise Grayson.https://twitter.com/aaronpaul_8/status/1183049884838060032

Robert Forster wasn't only one of the best people I've ever known in the industry, he was one of the best people I've known anywhere. I met him at a film festival before I'd even directed my first film and we kept in touch and would meet for breakfast, where he gave me tips on the film business, what he did right and what he could have done differently. He had no reason to do this other than our spirits were kindred and he was kind. Later on I arranged for him to speak to groups of actors, where he'd dole out advice and entertainment and play the spoons for their delight. He'd do all this for free because, again, he was simply a kind soul. I just woke up to the news he passed away. It's been a while since we've spoken and I wish I could have told him what he meant to me before today. It was a lot. Hope he's somewhere playing those spoons like the pro he was in all ways. ❤🙏❤

Gregory Inertia 25 Pack is from a new 2018 series of hydration daypacks which comes with a hydration reservoir included. This is a frameless design with trail-friendly features.
Key features & benefits
- Hydration reservoir included.
- Ultra-lightweight pack.
- Great price.
What is this about – what are Inertia packs
This Inertia 25 pack is a part of a brand new Inertia & Swift series by Gregory, which includes the packs in three sizes, of 20, 25, and 30 liters. As usual, they have different models for men (the Inertia) and for women (the Swift packs). The packs share the same features in principle, but the Swift series is anatomically different, built to fit women's body shape.
On the other hand, within each of the series there are small differences; for example, the side compersion straps are different in the 20 liters packs as compared to the packs of 25 and 30 liters.
Although it may look similar to the Citro 25 pack, the Inertia 25 is very different in the sense that this is a frameless daypack. So there is a difference in the weight and the functionality. The Inertia 25 is indeed a truly lightweight pack with only 1 lb 9 oz (0.71 kg).
Here are the basic data for the three packs from the Inertia series:
|Gregory Inertia 20
|Inertia 25
|Inertia 30
|1220 in³
|1526 in³
|1831 in³
| 1 lb 7 oz
(0.65 kg)
|1 lb 9 oz
(0.71 kg)
|1 lb 12 oz
(0.79 kg)
|20 x 11 x 8 in
|20 x 12 x 9 in
|20 x 12 x 10 in
Who is it for
This is a panel loading pack, so you have a long zipper for the entrance to the main compartment. This makes the pack look like an ordinary commuting daypack. But it has extra features which you will find very useful if you use it for fast and light outdoor day tours. The separate reservoir compartment which you have here is with a zipper and it can be used for your laptop as well, so this is a versatile tool indeed.
Overview of features
The suspension system
On the back you have a panel with cut-outs and covered with a breathable mesh. This is all flexible but it still gives the shape to the pack. You should not expect much of the ventilation with such a design, but the question is if this is really essential for such a small pack. If it is, then check the Citro 25 from the same brand, or CamelBak Franconia LR 24.
The shoulder straps are very anatomical and with a good and ventilated padding, and you also have an adjustable sternum strap with a rail system visibile in the picture below.
The hip belt is with short fins with a bit of padding, this is good enough for such a size. Note that you do not have any torso adjustment here, and there is no metal frame. But the pack still comes with load lifters, a bit unusual indeed.
3D 3L hydro reservoir
This is an important bonus with this pack, and you even have an extra sleeve for the reservoir positioned behind the back panel. You have a SpeedClip system here so taking it out and refilling is easy, see the picture below. It is built 3-dimensional, and this is on purpose so that you can clean it easily. You have a nice handle and a large lid to open it. The reservoir is BPA-free.
The hose is with a lockable bite valve and with a magnetic attachment on the sternum strap as shown in the picture below.
Pockets & compartments
There are 4 pockets in total – those include two side stretch mesh pockets plus a large front pocket of the same material. All three are rather large and you can carry water bottles on the sides and your spare layers in the front pocket where you also have a buckle to secure the things inside. On the top, there is a zippered pocket for your smartphone or glasses.
The mentioned hydration compartment is parallel to the main compartment which is without extra features inside.
Attachments & compression elements
This pack has dual compression straps on the side; this makes it different from the smaller 20-liters version where you only have one. You also have pole attachment loop on the left side, see the picture above, and it is paired with the bungee tie-off higher on the pack. You will notice also a few attachment webbings on the top. So this is quite enough for such a small pack.
Please see a bit more in this short promotion video by Gregory:

Gregory Inertia 25 pack vs Competitors
Here is the Inertia 25 side by side with two other packs from this size range. The Kelty's pack is without the reservoir, but its price is only around $66. So this would be a realistic price for the Inertia 25 as well if it was without it. Please follow the links to my detailed reviews.

Final thoughts, rating, pros & cons
So as you see the Gregory Inertia 25 Pack is a simple design, but it is versatile and the included reservoir is a big bonus. The pack can carry up to 11 kg but I would not go to the limits with it mainly because of the absence of the frame. You would have lots of pressure on the shoulders and the hip hins are thin for such a heavy load.
But this is not a pack for heavy loads, up to 3 liters of water plus some food for the day and spare layers, this is all you would need for fast and light day tours to some hut or a smaller summit.
The pack lacks some features which may be important for some, dependent on the climate, like the rain cover. The torso length is fixed, most likely not a big deal in view of its size. If this is important for you, check the Osprey Stratos 24 which has an adjustable torso size, and it also has a rain cover (but no reservoir).
The price is fair for what you get here, the included reservoir alone would cost you around $36. See how I rate it:
Please see also the Swift 25 pack for women from the same series and with the same features. If you need something different from this size range, please check my page with packs below 35 liters, you will find many items from the top brands there. For larger packs check here.

Best Settings to upload to Wellcomemat?
May 18, 2009
Here is how I do it and my videos look great on other video sites such as Viddler and YouTube,but the same video uploaded to Wellcomemat looks very pixilated. I export from Premiere Pro Elements 720x480 16x9 widescreen avi, I then take it into Microsoft Expressions Encoder and make it a wmv 640x360 letterbox.
Here are the links to my video on Wellcomemat and the other videos if you want to see the difference:
I want to use Wellcomemat for all my videos but if I go by the ideal settings my videos just don't come out looking very good. Any thoughts would be helpful.

Hierarchal clustering analysis of lipid molecular species during detachment-induced and ABA-promoted senescence.
Leaves that had been detached from WS and PLDδ-KO plants were treated with sterile water or 50 µM ABA for 5 days. A. Absolute levels (nmol/mg dry weight) of lipid molecular species. B. Relative levels (mol%) of lipid molecular species. Each colored bar within a column represents the lipid molecular species in the indicated plants and treatments. The mean value of the same lipid molecular species in different plants and treatments in a row was calculated. The row-wise mean is subtracted from the values in each row of data, so that mean value of each row is zero. Each colored bar within a row represents the relative change from the mean center of each lipid species. Lipid species in the indicated lipid classes were organized using class (as indicated), total acyl carbons (in ascending order within a class), and total double bonds (in ascending order with class and total acyl carbons).

As originally published on http://www.washingtonbeerblog.com
Blessed are these beautiful autumn days when the sun shines, the skies are blue, the air is crisp and the hops are fresh. We are now in the throws of fresh hop beer season.
It seems that darn near every brewery is releasing, or has already released, at least one fresh hop beer. Be thankful and know that it hasn't always been that way. The fresh hop craze is a relatively recent development in the world of beer. In fact, it wasn't too long ago that I actually had to write a story explaining the concept of fresh hop beer. These days, I think most well-informed beer drinkers would consider such a story insulting.
Here are some upcoming events where you can sample lots of freshies in the coming days and weeks. If you know about something not mentioned here, please leave a comment and tell us about it. I am certain there are more.
Beer Junction, Seattle – Saturday, September 30th – They will dedicated more than 25 of its taps to fresh hop beers. https://www.thebeerjunction.com/
Yakima Fresh Hop Festival – Saturday, September 30th – There may still be tickets left for this one, but good luck getting a hotel room. Uber popular, tons of fun, and lots of beer. This is the granddaddy of all fresh hop festivals. https://www.freshhopalefestival.com
Vancouver Fresh Hop Brewfest, Vancouver, WA – Saturday, September 30th – Festival with 25 fresh hop beers. https://www.facebook.com/events/1512612508805702/
Hood River Hop Fest – Saturday, October 7th – THE DATE HAS BEEN CHANGED, The change is due to the ongoing closure of I-84 and firefighting activity around the Eagle Creek fire. You may still see lots of stuff saying the event is on September 30th, but the date has now been changed to October 7th. Big beer fest on the streets of Hood River, with tons of fresh hop beers, many from Oregon breweries. Beers that don't make it north of the Columbia. http://hoodriver.org/hops-fest/
Seattle Fresh Hop Festival – October 7th and 8th – Hale's Paladium in Seattle hosts the 2nd Annual festival. Beers from 20 different breweries. http://seattleuncorked.com/event/seattle-fresh-hops-festival-oct-7-8/
Beveridge Place Pub Fresh Hop Festival, Seattle – Saturday, October 14th – Enjoy 30-something fresh hop beers. They'll take over the parking lot, open the Beveranda, and serve beers festival style so you can try a lot of them. https://www.facebook.com/events/246886435835963/
Hops of Love, Brewmaster's Taproom in Renton – Sunday, October 15th – A smaller event, but a good one. And it all benefits a really good cause. Find out more about the event on the Facebook Event Page.
Cheers to all our sponsors, like…

How do you handle networking opportunities? Is it a one-way or a two-way street? The mistake you can easily make is that networking is all about you. Because you're so focused on landing an internship or an entry-level job, no one else seems to matter. Having that perspective is a mistake.
Networking is about communicating with professionals or other job seekers and building relationships with them. If you're not just talking but taking the time to listen to someone else, you can learn valuable information to benefit your career. Michael Moradian, Executive Director of HonorSociety.org, explains why networking isn't all about you and offers good networking tips.
"We live in a culture obsessed with personal branding, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The problem occurs when the only thing professionals focus on is themselves. Don't attend networking events to tell your story alone; focus on listening, as well. After all, networking should be a dialogue, not a monologue.
It all comes down to authenticity. Are you joining professional groups and meeting people to only serve your career and to be the loudest, most talkative person in the room? If so, you will get nowhere fast.
Show a genuine interest in meeting new people, sharing ideas, asking questions, and developing strong relationships. Nobody wants to associate with selfish, egotistical blowhards who try controlling every conversation.
Being authentic also requires gratitude. Many young professionals forget to thank whoever takes time to talk to them. Express how much you appreciate each person's time and energy. This leaves them with a positive impression of you and solves another common networking mistake, which is failing to follow-up.
Most people assume their contacts will seek them out on their own. Don't leave it to chance. Instead, be proactive, and connect online and schedule follow ups with a simple email or a request for a lunch meeting. Take charge, be humble, and maintain a level of professionalism."

As recruiters and hiring managers search for top talent, it is important they understand how to approach potential job candidates. Employers should think about treating candidates the way they would want to be treated when searching for internships or entry-level jobs. Recruiters and hiring managers can't assume just because they arrive on college campuses that they will make connections. Taking time to speak with college students who attend networking events shows sincere interest in them and create a favorable impression of an employer. Michael Moradian, Executive Director of HonorSociety.org, explains the importance of connecting with candidates in a genuine manner.
"Networking is a way to build professional relationships on a personal level. But many recruiters fail to connect with potential candidates in a meaningful way. Communication is the most important tool in a recruiter's toolkit. If you can't explain expectations and describe opportunities in a clear, straightforward way, candidates will go elsewhere. Job seekers aren't interested in vague, unclear information. They want to know if an opportunity is right for them so help them see if they can fit into the role.
It's easy to spot common offenders when you're at networking events. Keep an eye out for card spammers, people who throw their business cards around attempting to reach as many people as possible in a short amount of time. This is not just unprofessional; it's also offensive.
You can't build relationships by skimming the surface and trying to get your information in as many pockets as possible. Why would I want to build a trusting relationship with you when you can't seem to take the time to fully engage with me?
Instead, start a conversation and express a genuine interest in connecting. Being inauthentic and focusing only on the result is off-putting. Don't force anything; sometimes, there just isn't a fit. Express what you can offer and how you can help potential candidates.
Follow-up if you sense some interest, but don't be pushy. There is a human side to business, and talented candidates appreciate when they are treated as a person, not a commodity."

Reviews on Best Home Gyms
Are you thinking of buying a fitness equipment for you to workout at home? With this article, we will help you find the answer.
It is important for you to know that when you are choosing a fitness equipment for you home it is a very difficult process. For a lot of people, they think that the best home gyms are those that comes with pricey tags and huge and bulky equipment. That makes the fitness market having all the expensive stuffs. You have to know that it does not need to have expensive equipment and bulky equipment just to have your own home gym.
Home gym equipment should not be expensive as there are a lot of equipment that are inexpensive but are highly effective as compared to those expensive ones.
The first type would be the ones that is not considered a home gyms equipment but it offers cardiovascular workout for you. These equipment are treadmills, elliptical and exercise bikes These type of equipment are also being used in health clubs and gym and is considered to be the most expensive. It will be 3 out of 10 in my home gym reviews.
Next will be the gyms that rely mostly on polymer rods and bars for resistance training. These are the equipment that are bulky and expensive. These are the equipment that highly dominates the fitness world and that they are very popular and are often used. There are few disadvantages of these equipment and that they are very prone to cause injuries. Bowflex is one of the popular product for this criteria. You have to expect that you will about 1500 dollars to 2000 dollars for these type of home gyms. My rating for this type of home gym is 4 out of 10.
Lastly will be the most effective yet the inexpensive ones. This rely mostly on the elastic bands and produce resistance. They often use this resistance bands and proper anchoring for them to have quality systems. They are very portable and simply place them in the bag. Bodylastics is what they call the top home gym that sells resistance band. The cost ranges from $50 to $100 and the system will produce up to 250lbs of resistance. For this system, I will give it a perfect 10 or my home gym review.
Out of all the three types of home gym, I would highly recommend a home gym that rely on resistance bands. This type of system is the most effective and that any person whether he or she is a beginner can definitely use it. You do not have to worry about injuries and the band as well is long lasting. It is very effective especially if you are trying to build flexibility in your body and it is often used in different sports training and even martial arts.

Countryside farmhouse charm never gets old. Refresh your decor with a modern blend of old and new - with Mother Nature as your muse.
Whether you live on the West Coast in a fantastically modern, chic Malibu home ; a low-key, yet "Give Me a Break," upscale horse farm in Rancho Santa Fe; a "What Dreams are Made of" vineyard property in Temecula; or on the East Coast in an ultra modern loft in Soho, New York,
use wood combined with metals for a modern, urban, industrial, Country-Luxe farmhouse look. This style is so on-point, and yet here to stay for the long-term. Modern, urban, countryside style allows you to showcase your in-the-know personal style:
Raw, Chic, Sustainable, yet Upscale, Comfortable, Relaxed Luxury
The Modern Country-Luxe style has many layers to its look: add simple modern wood and metal furniture; sturdy wheels adds flexibility and functionality; loungy, comfortable couches and chairs; try muted burnt oranges, yellows, and blues. Expose ceiling beams and HVAC metal ducts when you can to add that raw, upscale industrial feel. For the whimsical, yet upscale feel of a beach farmhouse on Martha's Vineyard or Cape Cod, use fresh florals, farm animal prints, a combination of sunny colors with earthy tones,
and a lot of bright white wall decor! For the grounded feel of the countryside, consider keeping or adding weathered, distressed wood floors, but lighten the mood with fresh white walls. Add don't forget to add furnishings with space to display your shell, driftwood collections, perhaps next to your first place horse show ribbons! In both of these styles add modern, clean, simple, sustainable earthy decor and accessories. Include wall art and pillows with vineyard, farm animal, and harvesting motifs. How about including simple, muted images of sustainable living, including farm equipment, old trucks and bicycles, windmills, old wells and water pumps, and weather vines. Busy honey bees, wise old owls , jet black crows, poppy flowers, grapevines and everything natural in between are timeless elements of upscale, yet relaxed, town and country style.

Who Is Childcare Services of Wisconsin?
Susie Murphy founded D'Vine Caregivers to satisfy the growing need for quality child care.
Child Care Services is a nanny and household management placement agency that is family owned and operated since 1984. We assist families in their search to hire qualified nannies and household help. We provide full and part time, as well as live in / live out, temporary and short term care. We have a 'Super Nanny' for all of your needs. We also provide household managers, companions and homemakers.
It is the mission of Child Care Services to provide you with the highest quality of service. We work with only top notch caregivers who have previous backgrounds working as nannies, teachers, nurses and day care providers. For those families who do not have grandparents in the area we also provide 'Granny Nannies'. All of our caregivers are English speaking. Based on our longevity in the industry we have developed a vast network of families and caregivers, many of which have been referred to us by their colleagues and continue to refer nannies and families in need on a daily basis. We have placed many nannies who have been with their respective families for over 10 years! We are Wisconsin's oldest and most recognized placement agency, have a proven track record and an excellent reputation in the industry.
Services offered:

Our Story
After 30 years in the industry, our families are aging and their needs are changing. We are receiving many calls related to assistance with senior care so we decided that this would be a natural direction to take. We are not a franchise and choose to keep the personal touch we have always had with Child Care Services.
Our Caregivers
You will find that many of our caregivers have been with our company for several years. Even though we are offering non-medical care, many of our caregivers have backgrounds as nurses and CNAs. We also have homemakers and companions. We seek out caregivers who are empathetic, patient, and will go a step above what is required of them. Based on our longevity in the placement industry, we have a pool of caregivers that are dedicated to their profession and will offer your family member the excellent care they deserve. They are out there and we know how to find them!

Sydney Swans great Adam Goodes and his wife Natalie Croker have welcomed their first child, a baby girl named Adelaide.
The couple gave birth on Wednesday and are incredibly happy, Goodes' management said, with mother and daughter both healthy and doing well.
Goodes and Croker announced their pregnancy in February and have been married since 2016.
"I had an Indigenous wedding ceremony with my wife, whos not Indigenous and she was able to learn about her kinship," Goodes told GQ magazine back in February when he revealed that Natalie was expecting.
"So the most exciting thing for me is from day one this baby is going to know its an aboriginal person and is connected to the longest living culture in the world, which is something I didnt have when I was growing up.
"Every opportunity we can well be giving him or her an indigenous experience, teaching him or her about what it means to be aboriginal. For me as a father, I feel I have a role to play to instil that culture, as well as discipline and having fun."
The good news comes at a time when Goodes, who retired at the end of the 2015 season, is back in the spotlight. The AFL and its 18 clubs made a belated but unreserved apology to the dual Brownlow medallist last week for failing to act sooner against the racism that prompted him to call time on his career.

Police started traffic enforcement before start of school year
Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer meaning students at public schools will head back to class on Tuesday. Local police departments are already focused on school zones, warning drivers to slow down.
School doesn't start for another day, but that isn't stopping Hobart-Lawrence Police from keeping track of drivers who speed in school zones. Special enforcements near schools, along with the portable speed boards - recently put up near Hemlock Creek Elementary School in the West De Pere district, warning drivers they're going too fast - are just a couple of the ways local police are looking to keep kids safe when they head back to class.
"We're out here to make people aware of the school zones and their speed limits, things like that. We just want them to slow down," says Officer Jeff Kola.
It doesn't matter what school you're near, there are plenty of different signs warning drivers they're entering a school zone, kids could be crossing the street, and they need to slow down. But according to police, drivers still don't always get it. That's why targeting school zones, ahead of the school year, is so important.
And while the purpose of the traffic stops is to warn drivers, some will get tickets - which amount to a double fine - and hopefully more awareness to not speed in a school zone.
Officer Kola adds, "It's all about the safety, not so much about the money but added safety. We don't want any kid or anybody to get hurt so that's what we're out here trying to do, just slow people down and make them aware."
In addition to Hobart-Lawrence Police, other departments will also have extra enforcement in school zones for the next couple of weeks.

"There seem to be a lot of new faces appearing at KFG," is a common remark we hear from clients. That, of course, is true. Our little company is going through a transformation that started about three years ago when it became apparent we would need to either stop taking new clients, reduce the number of clients, or expand our staff to handle the growth. We chose the latter.
Since then we've worked diligently to expand our staff. This meant our company would need to "grow up" from being a "one-person show" to a team effort. It meant adapting many of the internal infrastructures and process found in larger companies.
At the beginning of 2011 KFG had a staff of four: Rick, Darla, Lindsay, and Alison. That year we added Alan Moore. Since Alan needed more autonomy and opportunity that we were offering, we amicably decided to part ways nine months later.
Sue Chesney, CFP, joined us when Alan left and provided analytical backup to Rick for several months before Sarah Swantner joined us. Most of you are probably wondering, "Who is Sue? I've never met a Sue at KFG." And you would be right. Sue works for us virtually from Denver, CO. We still use Sue to support our staff planners and to train our new planners in the use of our proprietary software.
One of the greatest challenges in our transformation was replacing Darla, who left in August 2012 to move with her husband to Florida. She had been with us for seven years and was an integral part of our fabric. When it came to running the office, managing the workflow, and supporting the planning process, there wasn't anything Darla didn't do or didn't know. It took us the better part of two years to deconstruct what she did and rebuild.
During that painful growing period we had a few people come and go. Kathy Arlaud was with us for a year and helped us through a technology disaster that we could not have survived without her. Lisa Rothe initially picked up a lot of Darla's tasks and was with us for two years.
Lindsay Luper joined us upon graduating from college with a degree in accounting and has been with us for eight years. She recently expanded her duties to assume much of the operational tasks Darla performed. Lindsay works in the office one or two days a week and handles the rest of her duties virtually from her ranch south of Hot Springs. Even though she is often not physically in the office, you could never tell that by the volume and promptness of her emails.
Alison Scherr will gradually assume some more strategic operational roles. Alison has a master's in finance, so with Nikolas taking over some of her previous tasks, her talents can now be used much more effectively improving workflow and assessing new software and processes. In the seven years she's been with us, there almost isn't a job Alison hasn't done for KFG. She's become an invaluable part of our team as the "go to" person.
Sarah Swantner, CFP, joined us in February 2012, moving with her husband from Boise, ID. Sarah has since grown into a top-notch planner, having a keen eye for details, data, and analysis. Further, she has endeared herself to our clients as a capable, caring, and insightful advisor. As one client put it: "She's the type of person you just want to spill your guts to!"
Dave Jetson continues to be a valued member of the KFG team, offering financial therapy services to clients who want to improve their emotional and financial health by exploring their relationship with money. Dave currently serves on the national Financial Therapy board of directors and frequently offers local workshops that help clients explore how to live life more fully.
This year we've added two new team members that we are pretty excited about.
Nikolas Boyce joined us in March. Nikolas is a recent graduate from Bethany Lutheran College in Mankato, MN, with a BA in Business Administration. He is currently taking the required classes to obtain his CFP designation and is learning financial planning and investments. He recently began taking over a lot of tasks from Alison, which include performance reporting, trading, running out-of-balance reports, and investment analysis.
Lilly Vaughn joined us in July, having spent almost three years working as an administrative assistant for a fee-only investment advisory firm in Washington State. She was familiar with much of our software programs and TD Ameritrade, which meant she hit the ground running and didn't require an extensive amount of training. In just three months, Lilly has won the respect of both her team members and clients for her efficiency and courtesy.
Even with our great new additions, we are still a little short on help as we continue to grow. Our growth comes mostly by word of mouth from satisfied clients like you. We continuously look for opportunities to outsource tasks in order to free current staff to focus on serving clients directly. We are looking to add another financial planner, with the intention of giving Rick a little more time to focus on the critical aspects of running the firm and allowing Sarah to do more strategic work on our planning processes. We are also considering adding some additional administrative staff, either in-office or virtual.
We want to thank you for your trust and patronage of our company. We exist to serve you, and our goal is to give you the best client experience possible.
As we grow, please let us know of any ideas you have as to how we can serve you better!

A Scottish university has launched a new initiative to help transgender people. It's encouraging new students to wear badges with the pronouns 'He', 'She', or 'They' – indicating how they want to be referred to. The issue of youngsters wanting to change gender has been increasingly stirring controversy.
The UK's Women's minister, Victoria Atkins, has expressed concern over the rising number of minors, now wishing to go through reassignment.
We debated the issue with LGBT activist Peter Tatchell, and radio talk-show host John Gaunt.
