Universal Orlando's second theme park is the company's first not to be based around a movie studio. Instead, it seeks to take visitors into the movies themselves, with 6 themed "islands" located around a lagoon. After passing through the Port of Entry, guests can head to Marvel Super Hero Island, Toon Lagoon, Jurassic Park, The Lost Continent, Seuss Landing and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The Wizarding World has become the focal point of Islands of Adventure, with Hogwarts Castle dominating the park's skyline.
History: Islands of Adventure opened in May 1999, as Universal looked to expand its Orlando resort into a multi-day destination. Adopting a theme of exploration and adventure, the park incorporated high-tech attractions such as the multi-million dollar dark ride The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman. The June 2010 debut of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter helped push attendance levels at the park above neighbouring Universal Studios Florida.

WASHINGTON — Former U.S. Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. (D-Ill.) and his wife, former Chicago Alderwoman Sandi Jackson, pleaded guilty Wednesday in what prosecutors said was a conspiracy to siphon about $750,000 in federal campaign funds for their personal use.
Jackson entered a negotiated plea of guilty on one felony count of conspiracy to commit false statements, wire fraud and mail fraud. He could face years in prison when he is sentenced this summer.

The 28th annual Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony is upon us.
After the excitement caused by having the show in Cleveland last year, it has moved west, taking place at the Kodak Theatre in Los Angeles on Thursday. A (surely truncated) version of the festivities will be broadcast on HBO at 9 p.m. May 18. The museum isn't doing a live simulcast as in past years, so you'll just have to wait to hear the speeches and see the one-off performances.
With the year of eligibility at 1988 (artists are eligible 25 years after their first recording), the Rock Hall Foundation's mysterious voting body has been playing a bit of catch-up with some worthy groups (The Stooges, Black Sabbath) that have been ignored due to … well, no one but the voters can say why, but the charges of personal biases could become glaring if '80s hair and arena metal and synth pop bands are welcomed before some of the groups that influenced them.
The hall has essentially altered its concept to the Rock and Roll (and Pop) Hall of Fame, and the inductee lists have certainly become more varied. This class includes hip-hop, prog-rock, electric blues, R&B, disco and pop, and while some fans may still be arguing over "what is rock?" the hall has apparently decided the answer is "just about anything that's popular."
Here is your Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2013.
(Geddy Lee, bass/vocals/keyboards; Alex Lifeson, guitar; Neil Peart, drums/percussion/lyrics)
For many rock fans, this prog-rockin' trio's conspicuous exclusion, having been eligible since 1996, is a clear sign of voter bias. In 2005, a journalist who had covered all of the inductions told me one voter had declared that as long as that person had any say, Rush would never be inducted. Perhaps that person relented or lost his veto power.
Rush was never much of a critics' band, and for listeners, their exacting, prog-influenced brand of rock is often a love-it-or-hate-it proposition. Rush's global fan base is ardent, loyal and as detail-oriented as its music, which allows the group to still fill arenas and stadiums four decades along. To detractors, Rush is a prime example of rock that is all head, little heart, and absolutely nothing from the nether regions.
The band's early sound got it accused of being Led Zeppelin wannabes, and its 1974 self-titled debut was a failure until Cleveland's WMMS began playing Working Man, securing the band's first hit and one of its strongest regional fan bases. Most of the 1970s albums leaned on extended concept songs such as the Ayn Rand-inspired 2112 (1976) and Hemispheres (1978).
In the '80s, Rush became more radio-friendly, with hits such as The Spirit of Radio and Freewill from Permanent Waves (1980). The quadruple-platinum Moving Pictures (1981), solidified their place in history, featuring Tom Sawyer (which inspired millions to take up air drumming), Limelight and Red Barchetta.
Rush went through a heavy synthesizer period that tested the patience of some fans, before returning to a more guitar-dominated sound in the 1990s. Clockwork Angel (2012) debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200.
Peart has long set the standard for rock drummers (as in "well, she's no Neil Peart, but she's pretty good"). He uses a massive kit for his taut, syncopated, carefully constructed and complex fills, rolls and grooves, and fans eagerly anticipate his solos (generally considered an outdated 20th-century rock concert trope).
Rush's influence can be heard in the music of acknowledged fans such as Foo Fighters, prog-metalheads Tool, grunge kings Smashing Pumpkins, Primus and others.
Get to know Rush: For an easy entry into the catalog (20 studio albums and nine live albums), start with the big boy, Moving Pictures. If you want to dive into the deep end, 2112 shows their concept album prowess.
Presenters: Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins of Foo Fighters.
(Ann Wilson, vocals/guitar/flute; Nancy Wilson, vocals/guitar/mandolin; Roger Fisher, guitar; Steve Fossen, bass; Howard Leese, keyboards/synthesizer/guitar; Michael DeRosier, drums)
This is another induction that should have happened around the time the band was first eligible, in 2001. Madonna before Heart? C'mon!
The Wilson sisters may not have founded Heart (Fisher and Fossen were its first members, under a different name) but they are certainly the, um, heart of the group's nearly 40-year run. Today, a band fronted by a couple of strong females might not seem particularly special, but that is in part because Ann and Nancy Wilson spent the 1970s suffering many sexist, condescending, sleazy and creepy slings and arrows.
Heart wasn't the only female-driven '70s rock band, but it is arguably the most successful, with 30 million records sold and Top 10 albums in each of the past four decades. Classic-rock radio got a welcome estrogen boost from Ann's tough, powerful voice in Barracuda (about music industry sleazeballs), Magic Man, Crazy On You and Even It Out.
In the '80s, Heart scored with big power ballads such as These Dreams and What About Love before taking some time off. Since returning in the early 2000s, Heart has been receiving late-career hosannas.
While young woman rockers have more role models these days, Heart's continued success (its 2010 album Red Velvet Car peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard 200) should be an inspiration to anyone who plans to be a rock 'n' roll lifer.
Get to know Heart: If you like the tough, confident rockers, 1976's Dreamboat Annie has Magic Man and Crazy On You. Or you could cheat and get the two-disc compilation Essential Heart, which has those along with the '80s and '90s power ballads.
Presenter: Chris Cornell of Soundgarden. Heart will perform with Pearl Jam's Mike McCready and Alice in Chains' Jerry Cantrell.
Public Enemy
(Carlton Ridenhour aka Chuck D, emcee; William Drayton aka Flavor Flav, vocals/hype man; Richard Griffin aka Professor Griff, minister of information; Norman Lee Rogers aka Terminator X, DJ)
As hip-hop continues to creep into the rock hall, Public Enemy is a logical choice after Run DMC, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, and last year, the Beastie Boys.
While those three groups managed to cross over into the pop world, Public Enemy's staunch pro-black nationalistic, anti-white supremacy, left-wing stance made them lightning rods for controversy, and heroes to a generation of young fans and aspiring producers. It was a perfect storm at a time when hip-hop was growing commercially, if not quite intellectually.
Chuck D's commanding voice and dense, angry, unapologetic rhymes, aimed at the hearts and minds of urbanites (though suburbanites including Nirvana's Kurt Cobain were also affected), were balanced by class clown Flavor Flav's stream-of-consciousness exhortations.
They helped spawn a sub-genre of "conscious" rap artists, taking hip-hop out of the party and off the block into the political arena. The group's primary production team, the Bomb Squad, used a signature dense, heavily layered sampling style with then-unusual sources such as metal band Slayer and purposely harsh and abrasive sounds to add tension, with Terminator X's active scratches on top, to forge a sound like no other in hip-hop.
Platinum-selling It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back (1988) included Rebel Without a Pause, Bring the Noise and Don't Believe the Hype. It made Billboard's Top 50 and hit No. 1 on the now defunct and politically incorrect "Top Black Albums" chart.
Fear of a Black Planet took on topics such as racism in media, interracial and cultural relationships, institutional racism, and self-empowerment, and contained perhaps the group's best known song, Fight the Power, along with Welcome to the Terrordome and Flavor Flav's relatively light-hearted 911 Is a Joke. Apocalypse 91 … The Enemy Strikes Black (1991) included a bit of musical outreach in the form of a cover of Bring the Noize featuring trash-metal band Anthrax.
While many of today's mainstream rappers spit bars about exotic dancers, overpriced material goods and their own egos, and many young fans couldn't name a rap album released before they were born, Public Enemy's influence is arguably felt more strongly in rock and other genres. Electronic artist Autechre, roots rocker Ben Harper, Bjork, Nine Inch Nails and M.I.A. have all listed P.E. albums and/or tracks among their favorites.
Get to know Public Enemy: The incendiary clarion calls for black pride and self-empowerment (and some dope beats) found throughout It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold Us Back should set you on the right course.
Presenters: Spike Lee and Harry Belafonte.
Randy Newman
Newman is a quintessential songwriter's songwriter and a multiple Oscar-, Grammy- and Emmy-winning film composer. Millions of people, young and old, know at least a few of his songs, but a healthy chunk of those folks wouldn't know the bespectacled Newman if he walked up to them wearing a Toy Story T-shirt and singing his controversial and misunderstood 1977 hit Short People.
Newman the songwriter is known for his often cynical, cocked-eyebrow and humorous third-person takes on issues at a time when many popular singer/songwriters were writing deeply personal musical confessionals.
The list of artists who have interpreted Newman's songs is staggering. Hits include Three Dog Night's Mama Told Me Not to Come and Joe Cocker's You Can Leave Your Hat On; he's been covered by Nina Simone, Pat Boone, the Flaming Groovies, Harry Nilsson (who released an entire album of Newman songs), Ringo Starr, Peggy Lee, the O'Jays, UB40, Leonard Cohen, Tom Jones, Etta James, Pedro the Lion, George Jones and many, many others.
While others may have had bigger hits with his songs, Newman did get into the spotlight with the aforementioned Short People and another misunderstood hit in 1983, the affectionately ironic yuppie-scum-baiting I Love L.A.
For younger folks, Newman's work as a film composer is literally part of the soundtrack of their lives, as he has scored all three of the Toy Story films and other kids' movies. Ragtime garnered him the first of his 20 Oscar nominations. Newman still records and tours, and is considered one of America's best songwriters of any genre.
Get to know Randy Newman: That's a tough one, but his 1972 album Sail Away contains You Can Leave Your Hat On; the bluesy, orchestrated title track, sung from the point of view of a recruiting slave trader; the satirical Political Science; and two Ohio-themed tunes, Burn On, about the flammable Cuyahoga River, and Dayton, Ohio, 1903.
Presenter: Don Henley. Newman will perform with John Fogerty and Jackson Browne.
Donna Summer
Summer's inclusion in the rock hall confounds listeners who only think of her as the "Queen of Disco." Listening to her initial pop hit, the 1975 classic 17-minute, Georgio Moroder-produced disco seduction song Love to Love You Baby, one would never know the depth of Summer's talent. That Top 5 crossover hit, with its slick and sexy bass groove on which Summer breathes and coos as if she's in the midst of la petite mort, and its follow-up, the synth-driven club hit I Feel Love, helped bestow the disco label she was saddled with for much of her career.
But the singer/songwriter, who died last May of lung cancer, had plenty more under her signature shoulder-length curly locks. In 1977, Summer released two concept albums, I Remember Yesterday and double album Once Upon a Time, all of which she co-wrote, as she did for much of her career.
Bad Girls began to show other sides of Summer in songs, including the rock-flavored Hot Stuff, which earned Summer her second Grammy, and the title track, which took a sympathetic look at prostitutes. In 1979-80, Summer had four No. 1 songs, and the string of hits continued into the '80s as she expanded her sound and subject matter.
Summer stuck up for working women with the blue-collar anthem She Works Hard for the Money, encouraged female empowerment with the Barbra Streisand duet Tears (Enough is Enough), made folks dance with On the Radio, took on reggae with State of Independence and turned the tortured metaphor of MacArthur Park into an R&B hit.
Her commercial fortunes declined in the '90s, just as her reputation and appreciation for her work grew among a generation of younger soul singers, though To Paris With Love from her final album Crayons (2009) topped the Billboard Dance Chart. Stats don't tell the whole story, but Summer had at least one Top 40 hit every year between 1976 and 1984.
Performers: Christina Aguilera and Jennifer Hudson.
Get to know Summer: Summer's most beloved songs are spread across her packed catalog. But 1979's Bad Girls, which has the title track, Hot Stuff and fan favorite Dim All the Lights, deftly melds the disco queen with the R&B and pop star.
Lou Adler
A songwriter (he co-wrote Sam Cooke's Only Sixteen), label owner/executive, and movie and music producer, Adler had a hand in many of pop music's enduring hits and several classic films.
Adler got his start in the 1950s co-managing surf duo Jan and Dean with Herb Alpert. In the 1960s, he founded Dunhill Records, with hits including Barry McGuire's 1965 hit Eve of Destruction, and a bunch more, courtesy of the Mamas and the Papas, such as California Dreamin', Monday, Monday and Dedicated to the One I Love.
After Adler sold Dunhill he founded Ode Records which had another hit with Scott McKenzie's 1967 hippie classic San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair). That same year, Adler was one of the organizers of the legendary Monterey International Pop Festival and its accompanying film, which helped make stars out of Jimi Hendrix and the Who, and gave the world Otis Redding's show-stopping set.
Adler was also in the producer's (and label owner's) chair for singer/songwriter Carole King's massive hit Tapestry, and had the foresight to sign a couple of stoner comedians named Cheech & Chong, producing albums including Big Bambu and their debut film, Up In Smoke.
That encouraged Adler's forays into films, and after seeing the original stage production of the musical The Rocky Horror Show, he snapped up the rights and took a chance on the 1975 big-screen version, The Rocky Horror Picture Show, which has become a cult classic still screened in midnight showings.
Presenters: Cheech & Chong. Carole King will perform.
Albert King
This seminal bluesman was left out of the hall while his more famous acolytes (and a few peers) were welcomed. King, whose solo recording career began in 1954, wasn't just one of the Three Kings of the Blues (along with inductee B.B. and Freddie King, still waiting). His thick, heavy-handed and very electric guitar tone and technique, which placed melody and his signature string bends above having an arsenal of licks, was a blueprint of the Chicago Blues sound.
King, a lefty who played a Gibson Flying V named Lucy strung for a right-handed player, was first known by blues aficionados as a sideman for Jimmy Reed. But his singing voice, just as thick and expressive as his playing, wasn't heard until his first solo hit in 1961, Don't Throw Your Love On Me So Strong.
King really made an impact in 1966 when he signed with Southern soul label Stax Records, where he recorded some of his most famous songs backed by the label's crew of funky studio aces including Booker T & the MGs. That union yielded relatively daring blues/R&B hybrid classics, including 1967's Born Under a Bad Sign. His concerts began to fill up with not just blues fans but young rock fans, too. Other hits include Crosscut Saw and Drowning On Dry Land.
In the '70s, King continued to bridge the increasing gap between the blues, R&B and funk on I'll Play the Blues for You, where he was backed by the Bar-Kays, and the title track is one of several of his songs to be sampled by hip-hop producers.
As with 2005 inductee Buddy Guy (who listed King as one of the artists who deserved to be inducted before him), King's music was a huge influence on the 1960s British blues-rockers as well as Jimi Hendrix, Joe Walsh (who performed at King's funeral in 1993) and Stevie Ray Vaughan, whose early tone and style came directly from the King/Hendrix trick bag of licks.
Presenter: John Mayer. Mayer and Gary Clark Jr. will perform.
Get to know King: Those interested in the funky blues stuff should start with Born Under a Bad Sign or his 1962 album The Big Blues. To hear and see the king in action, check out the CD/DVD In Session, recorded live in a television studio in 1983 with young acolyte Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Quincy Jones
Quincy Jones' impact on popular music cannot be overstated or easily summarized.
In his six-plus-decade career, he has worked with or helped create pop superstars, jazz legends, award-winning films and television. He produced We Are the World, and a little record that happens to be one of the most popular and best-selling albums in recorded history, Thriller.
Jones began as a jazz trumpeter but health problems forced him to put down the horn and pick up the pen as a composer, arranger and conductor for artists such as (his good buddy) Ray Charles, Frank Sinatra, Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie, Dinah Washington, Count Basie, Tommy Dorsey and others.
Jones also had hits as a bandleader with Soul Bossa Nova, and his 1981 album The Dude contained the funky Ai No Corrida, and introduced Akron's James Ingram with the Quiet Storm ballad Just Once.
Jones helped break the glass ceiling for black film composers when director Sidney Lumet asked him to score The Pawnbroker in 1965. He would score more than 30 films, including In Cold Blood (1967), In the Heat of the Night (1967) and The Color Purple (1985). A generation of TV watchers grew up whistling his familiar and funky themes to shows such as Ironsides and Sanford & Son.
In 1977, Jones hooked up with Michael Jackson and they produced three huge records: Jackson's solo breakthrough Off The Wall, superstar-making Thriller, and Bad, all three of which exceeded 20 million copies sold (Thriller is somewhere between 60 million and 100 million, depending on the source).
In 1989, Jones had another hit album as a leader when he brought together contemporary R&B, gospel, hip-hop and jazz artists for the multigenerational sonic summit Back on the Block, which won seven Grammys, made the Billboard Top 10 and gave the world one damn fine slow jam in The Secret Garden (Sweet Seduction Suite).
Performer: Usher.
Get to know Jones: It's hard to pick one from 60 years of very varied work, so I'll break it down.
Producer: Thriller (though I prefer the warm, funky sound and songs of Off The Wall).
Jazz arranger: It Might as Well Be Swing, Frank Sinatra and Count Basie and his Orchestra.
Solo albums: Depends on whether you want the early jazz or the funky soul and pop he made later. Let's split the difference with the jazz fusion/pop/soul record Smackwater Jack, which has funky tunes such as the title track along with nice versions of Ironsides and Hikky-Burr, the goofy theme to The Bill Cosby Show featuring the man himself.

If you liked season one of American Horror Story, then you will love American Horror Story: Asylum. If you couldn't get involved in season one, thought it was too frenetic or too cliched, guess what? It is unlikely that you will feel any different about season two.
Set in 1964 (with the exception of pointless modern-day wrap-arounds), Asylum takes place at Briarcliff Asylum in New York. Originally a state tuberculosis ward, the Catholic church bought it in 1962 and turned it into a sanitarium run by Sister Jude (Jessica Lange) who rules with an iron fist. She leaves no room for questionable morals (despite her own sexual fantasies for Monsignor O'Hara) yet is not above trickery to get what she wants. Sister Jude's religion is at odds with Dr. Arden's science. Played by James Cromwell, Dr. Arden is a mad scientist who truly believes that he can cure madness - but through bizarre experiments and lots of lobotomies. Lana (Sarah Paulson) is a reporter who is desperate to break away from the household tips beat, so she uses an interview at Briarcliff about their on-site bakery as an excuse to dig around about the asylum's newest - and most infamous - inmate, serial killer Bloody Face. (A direct rip-off of Leatherface or, more kindly, a character inspired by Ed Gein, Bloody Face killed and decapitated at least three women, and wore their skin as a mask.) Naturally, the halls of the dank, prison-like asylum are filled with the craziest inmates - many of which are almost cartoonish.
Asylum walks a fine line in the portrayal of inmates and the hospital itself. From my limited research of mental institutions of the time, the living conditions in Asylum (more like a prison than a hospital) are not far from the truth; same goes for the types of people who were locked up (from the genuinely crazy to people with physical abnormalities to homosexuals.) Of course, in Asylum, all the patients are presented as monsters. For example, when Lana first appears at the asylum, she is greeted by a microcephalic girl (aka a "pinhead") who gives her a flower. Though Lana treats her warmly, the sudden appearance of the girl, the stern music cues, and Sister Eunice (Lily Rabe) shooing her away (explaining that she drowned her sister's baby and cut off its ears) suggest she is someone we should fear. Clearly, the microcephalic girl's appearance was meant purely for shock value.
While season one was mostly controversy-free, I could see Asylum really riling up religious groups. It is clear that the season will be a confrontation between science and religion; however, based on the first episode, both camps seem to be cast in an unsavory light. Of course, Ms. Lange touching herself while wearing red lingerie and her nun's wimple probably won't make her a hero amongst practicing Catholics, either. And I have to say, that while Lange is stellar in this, as she is in everything else she does, I do not see this role as an Emmy lock like I did AHS season one. Her portrayal of Constance last year was subtle and layered, with highs and lows. This year's Sister Jude seems to have one countenance: stern anger.
I like the idea of this year's "horror story" being set in a mental institution - personally, I can't think of any location more terrifying - but like season one, I feel like creators Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk are pretty much throwing every fucked-up thing they can think of into the mix, and seeing what sticks. The show is dark, manic, and, well, there is no better way to describe it: fucked up.
American Horror Story: Asylum airs Wednesday nights on FX beginning October 17th.

GASTONIA, N.C. -- Almost everyone agrees that a railroad crossing in Gastonia is unsafe and needs to be closed.
However, the crossing on West Ruby Avenue will remain exactly as it is -- even as some parents worry about what could happen to their kids.
"People come across it fast all of the time," said Steve McKinney.
He and his family live right next to the crossing, which is between South Marietta Street and South York Road in south Gastonia. Vehicles have to go over an unusually high-banked hump that makes it hard to see oncoming traffic.
Jessica Denton had to slow almost to a stop and squeeze by an oncoming car Wednesday night. When NBC Charlotte asked her if she'd had close calls before she said, "Yes, it happens a lot."
Enough neighbors had complained that the city of Gastonia began to evaluate a plan to close the crossing. The state department of transportation also weighed in, saying the crossing warranted being closed.
It would cost $175,000 to close the crossing and make improvements to the roadway. The DOT agreed to put up $75,000 and the railroad, Norfolk Southern, would add $15,000.
However, with fewer than expected federal dollars available, the city still found itself short by $85,000.
So the crossing will remain as is.
Next to the crossing is the Chemtura Chemical plant and many of the trucks from the plant have to use the crossing to get in and out.
Plant Manager Jeff Lukowski said, "The best solution to the crossing really is what is best for the neighbors." He added that closing the crossing is only one of the options. "Alternatively, making improvements to the obviously impaired asset right here was another way to go."
So until the money or another solution can be found, the hope is nobody gets hurt -- or worse.

Definitely not as much head/carbonation as from the base beer from the bottle.
S- Definitely a lot of the base beer- chocolate, roasted and lightly smoked malts, with a chili pepper spiciness following the roasted malts. The chili peppers definitely over powered the smokiness a little bit, but overall it was well-balanced. About average aroma strength.
T- Chocolate, roasted malts, finishing with a nicely balanced spiciness from the chili peppers. Not as smokey as the base beer, but the chili peppers definitely add a nice unique twist to the beer that doesn't over power any of the base beer tastes.
M- Goes down easily, medium-bodied, average to slightly below average carbonation, abv very well hidden.
O- This was definitely a nice variation on the Smoke & Dagger base beer. While all of the tastes/aromas were still there from the base beer, the chipotle added a nice spiciness that wasn't overpowering and complemented the beer very well. A lot of chipotle beers have too much of an overpowering chipotle spiciness which while full of flavor makes the beer hard to drink. I think Jack's Abby nailed the exact amount of chipotle which added a nice spiciness to the beer without overpowering it and made the beer easy to finish. I definitely recommend trying some if you like the base beer and chipotle spices.

Appearance:: Arrives with a fudge brown color; not much of a head and very little lace
Smell: Chocolate, roast and smokey chipotle in adobo
Taste: The smoked chipotle in adobo hits the taste buds immediately, overlaying a fruit and chocolate character that I underneath; roasty elements build, in the middle, but the fruit, chocolate and chilies drive home the finish
Mouthfeel: Medium to full body with low carbonation; a little flabby
Overall: While I like te way the chipotle works with this beer, it is a bit overwhelming to the base beer flavors

This beer pours a black body with a small off-white head.
Nose is very reminisant of the original smoke and dagger. Fresh dark grain, coffee, chocolate, some wood and touches of smoke.
Taste is really where this beer starts to take on it's own thing. Still very nice and clean with that smooth lager body. Fresh dark grains, touches of coffee and chocolate and an earthy woodiness. Then the spice really starts to hit you. It's more of a spice burn, almost like when you eat pop rocks and it attacks the inside of mouth. You can feel it and it's tingles all over, but you're not sure how it got there. I know there is chipotle's in this beer, but it's really hard to make out any strong smoky chipotle flavors. Although maybe there is some very mild smoke and char, but it's so mild it's hard to differentiate whether it's the chipotle's or the regular smoked malt from the stock Smoke and Dagger. Honestly the more I sip this (I've been letting it sit out and come to room temp for an hour or more) it really does have that earthy, dried pepper and smoke chipotle touch, but it's reallly faint, but it's there. Hops and bitterness are kept in check, with only some balance. Ends with a longgg lingering chili pepper spice burn. Not strong, but just a very long spice tingle.
Pepper beers have always been hit or miss for me, and I wish I could say this one absolutely floors me, but honestly it tastes like the regular smoke and dagger but with a spicy numbness. The chipotle flavor doesn't really stick out much. Yes the beer has some smokiness to it in the first place, but there's no fire roasted chipotle Mexican sort of flavor, it's just spice burn in a dark beer. Kind of like hop bitterness without the hop taste. Still a solid beer, just not my favorite of the Smoke and Dagger addition beers.

Here are the (more than) Five Things for Monday, April 16:
"Babies don't need a vacation, but I still see them at the beach… It [annoys] me! I'll go over to a little baby and say, 'What are you doing here? You haven't worked a day in your life!'" – Steven Wright. As a reminder, area high schools are on vacation this week. Adjust accordingly.
Chicks! (Note: the animal kind. Get your mind out of the gutter.) will be hosting Project Chick at 10:30 a.m. Staff from Casey Farm will describe all about chicks to the kids – how they hatch, what they eat, etc. Admission is free.
My buddy used to design Nerf guns. will host a on cartooning, cool toys and comic book covers at 11 a.m. Aimed at children 7 to 14, cartoonist Corinne Adams will have a show and tell of toys.
Just like peanut butter and jelly. What goes together better than National Poetry Month and Earth Day? Nothing, that's what. So celebrate with the at 2 p.m. at . The event is meant for kids 6 to 12, since silly poems will be read, and they'll get a chance to decorate a flowerpot. Also, prepare to get a bit messy, since this is a craft project.
And then there's sport. Here is the high school sports schedule for today:
- Local match-up: South Kingstown junior varsity softball hosts Prout at 4 p.m. at the Broad Rock Playfields.
- South Kingstown baseball (3-2, 2-2 Division I-South) hosts Portsmouth (3-2, 3-1 Division I-South) at 12 p.m. at Old Mountain Field. South Kingstown junior varsity baseball hosts Portsmouth at 12 p.m. at the Broad Rock Playfields.
- South Kingstown boys' tennis (2-0, 2-0 Division I-South) plays at Smithfield High School (2-1, 2-1 Division I-North) at 10 a.m.
- Prout boys' tennis (2-2, 2-2 Division II-South) travels to Slater Park to play Tolman High School (2-2, 2-2 Division II-Central) at 10:30 a.m.
- Narragansett junior varsity baseball hosts Exeter-West Greenwich at 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. at Sprague Park. Yes, it is a scheduled doubleheader.
Holy cow, I don't believe it! On this day in 1940, Bob Feller of the Cleveland Indians threw the only Opening Day no-hitter. The Plain Dealer has an awesome feature on its website – the original game story for that. (And as a reminder, the annual Marathon Day game for the Red Sox is at 11:05 a.m. today.)
"Tell your old man to drag Walton and Lanier up and down the court for 48 minutes." Kareem Abdul-Jabber, I'm happy you're turning 65 today. I'm not so happy that you played for the Lakers.

Wool Rules
Wool Rules is a clever dice-game, where players try to get the most valuable sheep while trying to avoid black sheep. So you need a little luck, a portion of risk and some self-confidence because only the player, who rolled the predicted dice sum, can choose from the available cards. And if you're too careful you might only get what's left over. And as mentioned above, no one wants to have black sheep because they equal minus points.
- 60 cards:
- 8 sheep dogs
- 1 bone
- 51 sheep
- 25 wool chips
- 6 bidding tables
- 6 miniature clips
- 3 dice
- rule booklet
2 - 6 players, age 10+, 45 minutes.

Big Medicine Charitable Trust (BMCT) is a public benefit NGO based in Udaipur, Rajasthan, India. Incorporated on November 3rd 2009, BMCT evolved out of work started under the Greening India Project of Big Medicine, Maine USA. Its founder trustee, board trustees, and director are all women.
BMCT's mission is to build upon the best of Udaipur's rich cultural legacies and environmental blessings in collaboration with local/global visionaries to create a 21st century model for sustainable heritage cities.
We believe that sustainable cities acting locally and networking regionally and internationally can create ecologically sound, socially just, aesthetically rich and thriving community models that help fulfill universal human dreams and lead the world closer to a global culture of peace and non-violence.
This site heaves with ideas and information. Have a look at this page to get a better idea of how the site is organised.
Where has this idea come from?
The Greening India project is blossoming out of several years of collaboration and brainstorming among a number of Indian and international scholars, activists and grassroots leaders.
Who is involved?
The early stages of the GI project and website development were handled by Big Medicine, an Indo-American non-profit institute that guest edited the Summer 2007 issue of India's respected international policy journal , World Affairs. In addition to their publishing and broadcasting activities, Big Medicine directors have organized many international conferences, tours and workshops addressing our contemporary social and environmental crises and are currently also helping design the Udaipur Shakti Works performance school, healing center and eco-park.
In late 2009 Big Medicine formed the Big Medicine Charitable Trust (BMCT), a registered Indian NGO affiliate that is now handling the development of Greening India programs and the Udaidpur Shakti Works project.
The initial "Greening India Schools & Education" program is being spearheaded by BMCT managing director,
BMCT founder trustee and health/environment director, Rita Dixit-Kubiak has worked closely with pioneering green grassroots organizations like Bija Vidyapeeth , Jagran Jan Vikas Samiti , and Ubeshwar Vikas Mandal as well as co-founding Japan's Metamedical Forum and the Indo-Japanese Citizen Diplomacy Association.
From Australia is the team of John Brisbin and Caroline Lieber, both of whom have active connections in India and organized the wildly successful Udaipur "Ethical Feast" event series in 2009. They are headed back to Udaipur for a sabbatical year in 2012 and will be helping design new project elements from their Queensland base til then. John and Caroline can be contacted through their homespace at General Evolution Advocacy & Research (GENEVAR) .
How to get involved
We are currently seeking ecological expertise applicable to the Rajasthan region for our educational and demonstration programs as well as interns, advisors and sponsor/funders (of course ;-)

EDGE Person of the Week: Shana Bea of QueenElleOhVee.com
Name: Shana Bea
Hometown: Carson, Ca
Age: 23
Who are you?
A Lover of all things beautiful and simple.
What do you do?
Lifestyle Influence. Creator of Amoureaux Inc.
Describe yourself as a woman.
As a woman, I am still growing and learning. My life has totally been an evolution, so these days more and more I'm understanding what it is to be a woman. Being strong in body, mind and voice. Passionate in love, drive and accomplishing my goals. Figuring out my place in this world, what it takes to be great and live comfortably. Not trying to be perfect but simply understanding that Life is a challenge, things change but moving gracefully through it all. A woman is not a woman until she is completely independent and secure in herself, and with every day I'm becoming that woman.
Describe yourself as an artist.
I don't consider myself an artist. I'm a student and I am a teacher. Life is the best raconteur and I simply live to hopefully change the life of another. I love expressing, I love teaching, I love giving people a new perspective or a different way of thinking. I have dreams of being the greatest Lifestyle Influencer of this generation. None conventional, but driven by love. I just believe our generational values have changed and in many aspects, as a whole we are far too gone. So I just wanna bring us back, ya know?
Who or what inspires you?
Life, people, things I see, things I love, people I love, everything really. My Nana and my mother, two very strong women that saved my life and everyday their words mold me. Just being here being able to appreciate and make my own choices inspires me to keep pushing and continue moving forward.
How has the city you're from shaped the woman you are?
I've been on the move since I was 18. Being from Los Angeles, CA, then moving to Omaha, NE, then to Grambling, LA, back to Los Angeles, and then to New York has made me to be very, very strong and wise in many aspects. My foundation being LA, helped prepare me for my journey and actually going out and experiencing different people, lifestyles and cultures is shaping me into a woman, this woman. I'm able to think for myself, stand on my own and be strong in that because I've been able to transition so much, by myself. One of my favorite quotes is from Chuck Palanuick, "I am a combined effort of everyone I have ever known." I do believe that everything and everyone I've encountered over the past 23 years shaped Bea.
How are you shaped by the city you're currently living in?
Oh man, New York is a tough city lol, but I'm making it. Moving here definitely helped me realize my true self and put into perspective what I want to do with my life and how I will be useful in this world. It's opened me up to a lot of opportunities and a lot of people and I'm more than grateful for it.
What does style mean to you?
Style is a form of self expression. So just like having a voice means everything to me, the way I carry myself and the things I choose to drape my body with does too. When I get up in the morning, based on how I feel, it results in how I look. It's not calculated or forced, it just is. I love being a woman and being able to play with what I wear, its exhilarating. But when it comes to my style, I ALWAYS WANT TO BE COMFORTABLE. Living in NY has taught me a lot about being cute and practical, definitely!
Describe your personal style?
One word, Love. My personal style is simply a representation of my love for self.
How do you want to be remembered?
I want to be remembered as someone who not only wanted changed, but created it for our youth. Bringing love back into everyone's equation reminding them that without it there is no success. If success is gained with love on the back burner, your happiness will be short lived. Temporary satisfaction should not be what we strive for as people. That girl full of love, lots of laughs and striving to make herself better and everyone else better is hopefully how I'll continue to put my stamp on this earth.

First of all, sorry for my basic english.
I see on Urban Dictionary that the words 'wobbing' and 'wobber' have some sexual connotations.
But, on the other side, I also see that these words are used sometimes without this eschatological meaning - e.g. in www . wobsite . be
The cuestion is, would it be considered offensive the use of these words, or can I use them without offending anyone, for example, as a brand-name? Are they common use?
Thank you and regards.

I have never heard or seen the words you mention, so they are not common, in BrE at least.
Please do not edit your question after it has received a response. Such editing can make the response hard for others to understand.
I never heard the word either (American English), and none of the UrbanDictionary definitions seems credible - most entries have more "down" votes than "up".
In my personal subjective opinion, however, it wouldn't sound too appealing as a brand name, unless the product is audio equipment-related, perhaps.
Thank you for your answers and your time.
Are you sure the speaker wasn't Elmer Fudd?

The Salem News
---- — For about 16 months in England, an extensive judicial inquiry has examined the quality and behavior of the press there. Led by Lord Justice Brian Leveson, the high-profile investigation culminated two weeks ago with the release of a report almost 2,000 pages in length.
The document, which catalogs the strengths and weaknesses of the press, and contains dozens of recommendations for improving it, has been almost unanimously lauded. Only its recommendation for possible legislative action to further regulate the press has divided observers.
Much of England's press — to an extent much greater than America's — is an unruly, uncouth, outrageous affair. Britain has a high proportion of prominent tabloids, and they are sometimes snooping, lying, destructive papers.
A "tabloid" paper is one that opens like a magazine, has no horizontal fold in the middle, and is physically smaller than a more traditional "broadsheet" paper. Its stories are generally short. The Boston Herald, for example, is a tabloid, while The Salem News is a broadsheet. The tabloid format is often the choice for papers that are less serious and more obviously intended to be entertaining or titillating.
The Leveson inquiry was initiated by Prime Minister David Cameron after a long stint of appalling press behavior. Perhaps the most infamous malfeasance was the phone-hacking conducted by the News of the World, Britain's biggest tabloid. In 2006, the paper was found to have illegally hacked into the voice mails of the royal family. In 2009, it was discovered that the paper had also wrongly accessed the voice mails of roughly 4,000 other people, including politicians, celebrities, murder victims, and possibly veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The paper — once with a circulation of 2.7 million — was forced to close, and a number of its editors were arrested.
Many other papers, including The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express, Daily Star, and the Daily Sport, were found to be operating with unreliable integrity and ethics. Some papers were found to be literally fabricating stories, or smearing people, or accusing innocent people of egregious behavior.
The Sun, for example, ran a fabricated story about a Muslim plot to kill prominent British Jews. The Daily Mail ran a false story that actor Steve Coogan was responsible for another actor's suicide attempt. The Daily Express printed a headline, "Migrants more likely to claim jobless benefit," even though the study cited established just the opposite.
The Leveson report cataloged a litany of irresponsible journalism, and concluded that the British press has too often been reckless, negligent, unprofessional, criminal, unethical, and bullying. It has operated with disregard for the effects of its activities, both on individual lives and on the public interest.
The report recommends the establishment of a new, independent press monitor. This would not be a government regulator but a private, industry-organized watchdog. Britain's press had such a monitor, but it had insufficient power to fine or discipline wayward newspapers.
Auspiciously, editors now agree that a new regulator must be more formidable than the old one. They also have a strong incentive to institute this reform, because Britain's parliament and public are threatening statutory regulation if the press doesn't create its own real policeman.
It is my strong hope that the industry will create a new, powerful monitor and also improve its own standards. It would be very difficult to write forever-wise regulatory legislation that could take into account all of the realities and sometimes envelope-pushing circumstances of creative, investigative journalism. For there are an infinite variety of circumstances and methods and sources used in the best, most ethical, investigative journalism.
That said, it is a sure thing that some irresponsibility, deliberate distortion, calumny, omission and cravenness will remain in the British press, just as they exist in the American — and every — press.
That is why freedom of the press ultimately is paired best with an educated, savvy public. In a democracy, where the participation of citizens is based partly on the information they gather from the media, readers must be vigilant and knowledgeable about their nation's papers, radio, TV and the Internet.
The Internet, especially, remains mostly unregulated. Smartphones, YouTube, Twitter and other technologies advance far faster than laws — and even norms — can evolve. A danger with the new, instant media may be that its sheer speed, infinite fragmentation, abuses, hasty reactions, and insufficient contexts may diminish our appetite for patience, complexity, deliberation, moderation and the long view.
The growth of online news will continue; printed papers will shrink. But regardless of where journalism operates, there is no substitute for the profession policing itself so that it offers exemplary standards that citizens can continue to trust. Perhaps more than the government or the private sector, an honest and really intelligent press and a caring and intelligent citizenry are the guarantors of a livable pluralism and a democracy.

Symptoms of Vaginal Infection
Unfortunately, most of the symptoms of vaginal infection are very similar no matter what type of bacterial vaginal infection you have. Even health professionals frequently get the diagnosis of vaginal infections wrong, and it isn't uncommon to hear about women with vaginal itch or discharge and treating themselves for a supposed yeast infection only to later discover that it was not due to yeast at all.
Keeping in mind that many women don't have any symptoms of vaginal infection and many women have symptoms that vary from "the norm", the following table allows you to compare symptoms of four of the main vaginal infections - yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis and cytolytic vaginosis.
Yeast infection is caused through the yeast Candida and the other three are different types of bacterial vaginal infection.
Symptoms of Vaginal Infection
As you can see from the table above, most of the symtoms of vaginal infection that can be spotted by the woman herself are very similiar. Keep in mind that just because "the experts" say there is a discharge does not mean that YOU will experience the bacterial vaginal infection in the same way.
Your doctor has additonal tests that he/she can do to pinpoint just which infection you have.
Fem Dophilus is an oral probiotic capsule that helps normalize the urogential tract. It is specifically designed for women. It is not a "cure" in itself but when taken whilst undergoing treatment it stops infections from coming back.
It is uncommon (although it does happen) for a woman to have a yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis at the same time. The microclimate that they each enjoy are quite different and also it is believed that substances produced by BV actually inhibit the growth of yeast.
However, it is very common for a woman to have bacterial vaginosis and trichominiasis at the same time - some experts go so far as to say the majority of women with trich will also have BV1 but not the other way round. (ie most women with BV do NOT have trichomoniasis)
Many men do not have any symptoms with trichomoniasis and about half of all women with trich do not show any symptoms.1 It is still very important to be treated.
The table above is simply a very basic guideline. Remember even doctors frequently confuse the symptoms of vaginal infection.

After the lengthy fight over capping the 61-year landfill and purchasing or remediating contaminated properties adjacent to the transfer station, the boards of selectmen and health are now trying to finish the job.
At issue: Dealing with the remaining vacant land that also is believed to be contaminated.
The two boards met Wednesday night in executive session for about 15 minutes to discuss the contamination issues.
There was no public discussion after the selectmen returned to open session, except to say the two boards met to discuss the value of real estate property.
The boards would like to resolve the issue so any action or payments can be presented to the spring Town Meeting.
Last year the Town Meeting agreed to spend $18 million to cap the landfill and build a new transfer station.
Over the life of the landfill it has leaked contaminants that spread in the ground water to adjacent properties, mostly on Stonybrook Road.
Jeff and Kate Dinsmore, whose home was purchased last year, wrote at the time in a public letter, "The contaminants found on our property include lead (at eight times acceptable levels), nickel (seven times acceptable levels), cadmium (six times acceptable levels) and arsenic at depths of 7-15 feet deep around and under our house. While this is not considered an imminent health risk to us or others because of its depth, the material must be cleaned up to avoid long-term health risks."
The current landfill must be constantly monitored and reports on its contamination provided to the state Department of Environmental Protection under an agreement between the town and the state regarding the landfill.

8 Shocking Ways the Billionaires Have Schemed to Rob Us of Every Last $
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
Every day and every week we hear another shocking story about how our billionaires have cooked up an even sicker scheme to shake down Americans and plunder the national wealth, as if the last scheme was too easy and boring. They don't even bother hiding it anymore: take the story about the " Death Bonds" I wrote about last month, first reported (however blandly) in the New York Times: the very same Wall Street bankers who conned $23 trillion out of America's wealth is now going to use some of that play money to place bets on when we Americans will die—and the sooner we die, the more billions in E-Z profits Wall Street will earn.
It's as if America is some kind of despised abstraction to our ruling class: a faraway colony to plunder, a mass of humanity to use and exploit as it sees fit. In fact, there's a pretty clear pattern developing of just how much they despise Americans and how little they value our lives and our humanity.
It's painful to admit this, but the way our 21 st century American ruling class treats the rest of us is eerily reminiscent of the great Russian novel Dead Souls, about the 19 th century Russian ruling class's beastly treatment of its serfs (also called "souls"), back when most Russians were essentially slaves, legal property of the ruling class. Dead Souls features one of the most grotesque shysters in any novel: he comes up with a get-rich-quick scheme that's eerily similar to today's Wall Street's latest schemes: the shyster goes from village to village, buying up "dead souls" (or "dead serfs") who are still on the census rolls of the local landowners. The dead serfs are of no use to their owners anymore, so the landowners are happy to make one last ruble off their dead serfs by selling ownership rights over them to the shyster. The shyster's plan: to acquire so many "dead souls" that he can package them into valuable collateral, and take out a huge loan against his "dead souls" which will finally make him rich. Wealth spun out of nothing but human misery, so that the shyster can waste huge amounts of money impressing others from the serf-owning class.
In other words: Dead Souls Loans.
Fast-forward to America in 2009, and now we're the dead souls. Top American corporations are taking out "dead peasant insurance" on their workers without the workers even knowing it—and cashing in hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars on their employees, even though often times they don't even offer those same employees decent health insurance coverage to allow them to survive illnesses. To top it off, these "dead peasant insurance" payouts are tax-free for the corporation that cashes in. It was a revelation so revolting that even ABC's News' mannequins admitted they were "stunned."
In fact, as I said, they shouldn't be stunned. It's part of an ongoing pattern for our ruling class and their view of America and Americans. It's time we faced up to this grim fact. Too many of them are against us and against this country, weakening America to the point where it threatens to be permanently crippled, much like how the communists deformed Russia for decades. They had their bolsheviks; we have our billionaire-bolsheviks. The effect of these two rapacious ruling elites is the same: the state and the people serve the tiny ruling class; and when we're not serving them, we can fuck off and die. Literally. Because that serves them too.
For practical purposes, here is a small handy list of 8 Reasons To Hate Our Billionaire Bolsheviks [or "The H8 8"]:

More honking and hand gesturing than normal occurred Jan. 14 during the lunch hour at the intersection of N.W. 23rd Street and Broadway, but it wasn't because of an in-store appearance by Ronald McDonald, and the gestures were mostly peace signs.
A group of about 20 people held signs, wore T-shirts and passed out fliers in support of Crescent native Bradley Manning, the subject of our "WikiLeaker?" cover story Dec. 29, 2010. Several signs read "Honk for Peace," "Honk for Oklahoma's Bradley Manning" and "Republican against the war." The Hamburglar was unavailable for comment.
U.S. Army Pfc. Manning was arrested while stationed in Iraq in May for allegedly leaking thousands of secret and classified documents to the website WikiLeaks, including the "Collateral Murder" video of civilians being shot at by helicopter gunners in Iraq, Afghanistan war documents and thousands of diplomatic cables.
Manning, who is awaiting trial, could face up to 52 years in prison, and is being held at the Marine Brig in Quantico, Va., on prevention of injury status, meaning he remains in his cell for 23 hours per day.
Manning's alleged actions have been praised by some and condemned by others.
"Whoever in our government leaked that information is guilty of treason, and I think anything less than execution is too kind a penalty," former Arkansas governor and Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee told reporters in late November.
Local organizers said they held the demonstration for several reasons, including Manning's connection to the state.
"The issue for us today is that Bradley Manning is being held in high security isolation pending his trial. He's been in isolation for seven months," said Nathaniel Batchelder, director of the Peace House, which co-sponsored the demonstration. "We feel this is inhumane treatment. He's not been convicted of anything, and there's no indication that he's violent toward himself or others."
Rena Guay, executive director of the Oklahoma Center for Conscience, the event's second sponsor, said if Manning did leak the documents, he should be hailed as a hero for exposing the truth.
"Regardless of whether he's guilty, he needs to be kept in humane conditions," Guay said. "Our bottom line is even if he was the one who exposed the war crimes, it's the war crimes that need to be investigated and punished, not the one who exposed them."

The San Mateo County District Attorney's office announced Wednesday that CVS Pharmacy, Inc., must pay a total of $13.75 million to the county and 43 other California District Attorneys and City Attorneys for improper handling of hazardous materials.
CVS must may $60,000 to the and $35,000 to the county Environmental Health Division.
For more than seven years, CVS allegedly violated California laws for safe storage, handling and disposal of various types of waste, including pharmaceutical, pharmacy, photo and hazardous waste generated from spills and customer returns of hazardous products.
The investigation began after environmental enforcement officials from the state of Connecticut similarly inspect CVS's practices. California health inspectors and prosecutors found evidence of the violations and worked with CVS stores to correct these practices.
The stores must now properly store, handle, transport and dispose of the waste at proper facilities and document compliance with lawful procedures.
CVS has one store in Foster City on and four in San Mateo (, , , and ).

Well hello there!
Ummm… Is that a set-square in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me?
Hello and welcome to Yellowtrace!
I am so happy to see you here. My name is Dana – I am a self-diagnosed design tragic and an award-winning interior designer. I live in Sydney, Australia with Husband and our beautiful baby boy.
Yellowtrace blog started in January 2010 as an online celebration of my love for great design and clever people – a space where I would share my thoughts, insights and design sensibilities. Little did I know back then what an incredible adventure this was going to become. The blog has provided me with countless opportunities and allowed me the freedom to indulge in my own creativity.
After years of working as a senior designer at a leading architecture firm, I established my own boutique practice borne out of a desire to share my passion for design with like-minded clients and collaborators. I am drawn to inspiring, meaningful and enduring environments and experiences, frequently stepping off the beaten path to discover the unexpected for my clients.
My passion for design sees me actively involved in the local design community as a speaker at various events, contributing as a freelance design writer for magazines, acting as a sessional lecturer and a guest juror at design colleges and universities in Sydney, and sitting on advisory panels for various trade shows and design events.
Thank you for stopping by.
