...Hereford Cider Museum. On Oct. 15-16, over 1,000 people are expected to descend on the museum, a kilometer west of the city center (tel: [44-1432] 354207; www.cidermuseum.co.uk), for a festival at which visitors can taste up to 40 varieties of the alcoholic drink, ranging from finer, bottle-fermented sparkling cider to the rougher, cloudy and nonfiltered "scrumpy."

Townsend knows Bobby fully lives where we all live, in dreams of glory, agony, love -- of life's infinite possibilities...

Potential employees are screened through numerous databases, checked for, among other things, mental-health problems, criminal records and questionable behavior in previous jobs. The NRC's confidence in its "insider mitigation program" is so high that the DBT specifically rules out the need to defend against an "active violent insider"--a turncoat employee willing to shoot and kill fellow workers.
