Novelty Store in Downtown San Luis Obispo Closing in February
Updated On: Jan 12 2014 02:00:00 AM CST
A one-of-a-kind novelty store in downtown San Luis Obispo is closing its doors soon. The manager of Kwirkworld says expensive rent and a lack of sales did them in. The decision to close is tugging at the hearts of many locals, who say the unique store was a breath of fresh air in a downtown loaded with restaurants and bars.
"I'm absolutely sad to see this place go," says Suzanne Pericoli, a frequent shopper at Kwirkworld. "It's got a lot of crazy items. There's just a good vibe goin on."
A lot of crazy items may be an understatement. Fart machines, glowing monkeys, and a variety of other gag gifts and trinkets. It's what made Kwirkworld a popular place to visit for those walking up and down Higuera Street in downtown San Luis Obispo.
"I buy gifts down here. Several christmas presents came from here to me. I like fun things and this is a fun store," says Pericoli.
Just recently, signs appeared on the front windows announcing the store will be closing in February, marking an end to the store's 5-year stay in downtown. Sales couldn't keep up with the $12,000 they paid for rent each month.
Doing business in downtown San Luis Obispo became increasingly difficult for the store, with a lack of abundant parking and high rent, but that wasn't all. With many people doing their shopping over the internet, Kwirkworld couldn't compete.
"The E-commerce is much more prevalent now than it was back then," says Peter Ray, manager at the San Luis Obispo location. "The merchandise that was specific to Kwirkworld is now found everywhere. That specialty was kind of gone."
Still for some, Kwirkworld brought a change of pace to the downtown area.
"Its got things other places don't. It's way fun," says Pericoli.
The store is set to close at the end of February. The San Luis Obispo location was the flagship store. It also has locations in Fresno and Folsom that will remain open for business.

No. 241,192 Claims priority, application Switzerland, Dec. 8, 1961, 14,220/61 7 Claims. (Cl. '73-141) This invention relates to measuring means, more particularly to apparatus for providing digitally indicated measurement of forces. A variety of methods and devices are today available for the measurement of forces. The type to be selected is determined primarily by the particular measuring purpose since each application involves special requirements. This, for example, in the measurement of forces in material testing equipment in order to obtain desired accuracy, a wide measuring range and a short deformation distance of the measuring member are necessary. A variety of mechanical, electrical, optical, and other methods and devices have been evolved in an attempt to meet these requirements. In measuring forces by electro-mechanical systems, a measuring member is arranged to deliver an electrical quantity (voltage or current) which is proportional to, or in some defined relationship to the force to be measured. Thus a direct indication of the force to be measured is possible on a measuring instrument. Problems are encountered in that the measuring range and the accuracy of the force measurements are relatively small. Additionally, the necessary so-called zero constancy is diflicult to obtain for a Wide range of force measurement. Zero constancy is understood to mean the relative deviation of the electrical indication from the desired indication value at Zero force. This arises due to inevitable instability factors in the system. The measuring range and accuracy of suc-h known methods can only be extended with considerable expense, and an increase in the required complicity of manipulation of the measuring apparatus. Accordingly, compromise solutions have been proffered according to which measuring members are provided with only a small measuring range thus requiring the availability of a plurality of different measuring members in order to cover the entire measuring range. Where the materials tested are subject to variation, and mean values of a sampling population are sought, then statistical techniques are employed for handling the test results. These statistical calculations may be carried out electronically, in which case the above-mentioned electrical quantities may be applied, for example, to the input of an analogue computer. However, ifl digital computers are used for such calculating operations (which is a great advantage), the measurement result must first be converted into a digital quantity. This conversion has in the past been relatively involved and expensive in order to obtain desired accuracy. It is with the above problems and desiderata in mind that the here presented novel means have been evolved, means having particular utility in testing materials and providing for digital ldetermination of forces acting on a test specimen in a simple fashion, with the range of forces and accuracy of measurement being relatively large. It is accordingly among the primary objects of this in- ICC vention to provide improved force measuring means providing a digitally indicated result. Another object of the invention is to provide force measuring means having a relatively Wide range of measurement and a zero constancy. These and other objects of the invention which will become hereafter apparent are attained by providing a method `and novel apparatus for practicing .the method. According to the method the force acting on a test specimen is applied to a spring member to resiliently deform same. The deformation of the spring member influences a frequency-determining member of an electric oscillator. The number of oscillations of the oscillator frequency during an interval of time when the spring member is in the unstressed condition is counted and the number of oscillations of the modified oscillator frequency during a time interval in which the spring member is in the stressed condition is likewise counted. A comparison of the counted oscillations serves as a measure of the force taking into consideration the intervals of time used. In apparatus for carrying out the method, a frequencydetermining part of an oscillator is coupled to a spring member. The resilient deformation of the spring member caused by the forces to be measured produces frequency changes in the oscillator corresponding in magnitude to the deformation. A counting device is coupled to the oscillator and counts the number of oscillations at the particular oscillator frequency in the unstressed and in the stressed condition of the spring member which appear during predetermined intervals of time, the counting values obtained representing a digital measure of the force to be measured. The invention will be described in full, clear and concise terms in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, wherein: FIG. l diagrammatically illustrates an arrangement of a spring member with a coil so that the inductance of the coil changes on deformation of the spring member; FIG. 2 diagrammatically illustrates an oscillator in which a coil with variable inductance produces frequency changes; FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an arrangement for obtaining a digital indication of an oscillator frequency; FIGS. 4-7 illustrate the circuit components comprising the arrangement of FIG. 3.

Referring to the drawings, like numerals in the various figures will be employed to designate like parts. FIG. 1 diagrammatically illustrates an electromechanical measuring member comprising a spring member in the form of spring bar 1 fixed at one end. The force P to be measured acts on bar 1. Unstressed bar 2 remains stationary in relation thereto. A coil 3 with an iron core 3', the inductance value of which is determined substantially by the air gap AL, is rigidly mounted on the m-ovable spring bar 1. The inductance of the coil 3 determines the frequency of an electronic oscillator 10. When a force P acts on spring bar 1, the latter bends thus changing the air gap AL. As a result, the value of the inductance of the coil 3 change-s with a resulting change in the frequency of the oscillator 10. A circuit diagram of such an oscillator is shown in FIG. 2. Connected into the grid circuit'of an oscillator tube 7 is an oscillator circuit with the coil 3 and the capacitors 4, 6 and 9. An arrangement as illustrated by the block diagram of FIG. 3 provides means for detecting and counting the deflection of the spring bar 1 caused by a specific force P. During a specific interval of time t immediately before the force P to be measured acts on the spring bar 1, the number S1 of the cycles of the alternating-current voltage produced by the oscillator 10 at the frequency f1 is counted and stored in a counter 23. The interval of time t is preferably delimited by electronic switch means. Thus during the production of any given number of cycles of constant frequency f3 by oscillator 21, a conventional preselector counter 22 mains electronic switch 11 closed. With a constant frequency f3 and a constant number of cycles lduring which the switch 11 is closed, the interval of time t is always constant. The switch 11 is coupled to a reversing switch 12 which first conveys the number of cycles of the frequency f1 which have been transmitted by the switch 11, to a counter 23. In a later period when the force P is effective on the spring bar 1, the frequency of the oscillator 10 would amount to f2. The number of cycles S2 of the alternatingcurrent of frequency f2 is vcounted during time interval t, as well as storing of the value S2. To effect this, the reversing switch 12 is set so that the count values of the number of cycles S2 are stored in a second counter 24 and recorded. The difference between the values of the counting pulses S2-S1 is a measure which stands in a direct and precisely defined relationship to the force P or to the bending of the `spring bar 1 caused thereby. The extent of the interval of time t determines the most advantageous value for the absolute magnitude lof the counting pulses S2-S1. The interval of time t must be selected of a sufficiently lshort duration such that variations in force within this period of time can be ignored. As a modification, the counting of the cycles S1 in the unstressed condition can be effected in time after the testing of the number of cycles S2 in the stressed condition. In certain circumstances, the time interval during which variation may occur in the zero setting of the two countings will diminish and as a result the measuring accuracy correspondingly improved. Certain standard regulations for the testing of materials actually prescribe a relatively long testing period. If the cycle counting in the unstressed condition is carried out during a time interval before the counting of cycles in the stressed condition, the time prescribed for the action of the force will lie in a range between these two countings, and during it various environmental conditions may change. Thus, a zero displacement may occur which would produce a counting error. However, if the cycle counting in the unstressed condition is carried out after the cycle counting in the stressed condition, the intervening period of time can be very short because no time conditions have to be fulfilled for the removal of the action of the force and for the return of the resilient system to its initial position. The two countings can therefore follow immediately after one another in time so that the possibility of a displacement of the zero during this period of timc is considerably less. Examples of embodiments of the various circuit details which may be employed in the arrangement shown in FIG. 3 are shown in FIGS. 4 to 7. The oscillator 21 which delivers a fixed frequency f3 may, for example, be constructed like the oscillator l10 shown in FIG. 2. Its coil 3 has a fixed inductance value, however. A gate circuit as shown in FIG. 4b may be employed .for the electronic switch 11, the function of which is shown in FIG. 4a. The input signal at the terminal a passes through a rectifier 14 to the terminal b if there i5 a potential at the resistor 13 (terminal v) which is positive in relation to the terminal o; that is to say, the switch 11 is closed in this case. As 4soon as there is a negative potential at the terminal v-in relation to the terminal 0 rectifier 14 acts as a barrier and the switch 11 is thus open. The necessary positive and negative control potentials for the terminal v are supplied by the counter 22 in the present case. The electronic reversing switch 12 works functionally as shown in FIG. 5a. It passesan input Signal applied to the terminal u either to the terminal c or d. Thus according to whether counting is being effected in the stressed or in the unstressed condition of the spring bar 1, the switch 12 is connected either to the terminal c or d. InFIG. 5b a corresponding gate circuit is shown in detail. A control voltage at the terminal v conveys either a positive or a negative potential in relation to t-he terminal o to the rectifiers 14 and 16 through the resistor 13. If this potential is positive, the input signal passes from the terminal a through the rectifier 14 to the terminal c; if it is negative, on the other hand, then the rectifier 14 is blocked but the rectifier 16 is open, and the input signal reaches the terminal d. The function of the switch 11 and of the reversing switch 12 may also-be taken over by a duplicated construction of the switch 11. The counters 22, 23 and 24 which simultaneously serve to store the counted values S may, for example, be constructed in known manner in the form of electro-magnetic pulse counters with stepping mechanisms and counting mechanisms which latter represent the counted values as readable digits. Such pulse counters are only advantageous for relatively low counting frequencies, however. By wayof example, it is possible to employ electronic counting tubes 26 as shown in FIG. 6 which handle considerably higher pulse frequencies. Tube 26 comprises an anode 27 and a grid 28 which are common to a number of cathodes 29. Each cathode 29 is connected through its own resistor 30 to the negative pole of a voltage source. Counting pulses A are applied to the grid` 28. Each pulse causes the current conduction between the cathode and anode to pass to the next following cathode. As soon as the turn of the last cathode cornes a pulse B is produced which is delivered to a following further counting tube where it represents a further digital place. At the same time, the pulse B causes the counting tube 26 to begin counting from the beginning again. Counting circuits 22, 23, 24 may also be formed by a bistable multivibrator (common abbreviation BMV) as shown in FIG. 7. It contains transistors 15, 16, voltage dividers 17, 18 and a coupling capacitor 25. Each pulse at the input terminal a (opposite the ground terminal g) changes the bistable multivibrator from one electrically stable position to the other electrically stable position. Thus by connecting n bistable multivibrators in series, every number up to a maximum of n binary digits can be stored in known manner. The series connection is effected, for example, from the output terminal i of the rst bistable multivibrator BMV to the input terminal e of the following bistable multivibrator BMV; from this second bistable Imultivibrator BMV from the output terminal i' to the input terminal e of the third bistable multivibrator BMV and so on. The electrical state of the multivibrators BMV, BMV', BMV" indicates a nurnber in the binary system in known manner. l A combination of the counters 23 and 24 to form a forward and backward counter is a particular advantage. In this case, as explained above, the countingof the number of cycles S1 of the oscillator frequency f1 in the unstressed condition of the spring bar 1 is counted in the forward direction, that is to say with increasing counting values. For the counting of the number of cycles S2 of the oscillator freqency f2 in the stressed condition (by the force P) of the spring bar 1, the pulses are taken olf not at the output terminals i, z", z' but in a similar known manner at the output terminals h, h', h". As a result the counting value S1 first obtained is reduced by the new counting value S2. Thus the difference between the counting values S2 and S1 is stored in the form of the counting value S2-S1 in the counter. Reversing switch 12 is thus eliminated. FIG. 8a shows as a graph the number of cyles S1, FIG. 8b the number of cycles S2 and FIG. 8c their difference S2 S1 which are obtained over equal time intervals t. This is intended to show how the magnitude of the force P acting on the spring bar 1 is derived from the difference between the number of oscillations S2 r S1 providing a digital result. In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 9, instead of varying the air gap AL, the deformation of the spring bar 1 varies the spacing Ac of the electrode of a capacitor 9 and so causes capacity variations. Accordingly, the inductance 3 in the oscillator 10 is constant but the capacitor 9 is variable. FIG. 10 further represents a possible arrangement of an oscillator 10 wherein both the inductance of the coil 3 and the capacity of the capacitor 9 in the same oscillator 10 are influenced by the spring bar 1. Whereas in the arrangements shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 9, the frequencies are substantially reciprocal to the air gap A1, and `to the electrode spacing Ac respectively, in an arrangement as shown in FIG. 10 there is precise proportionality between the variations in the oscillator frequency of the oscillator 10 and the variations in force of the force P. Nevertheless, the arrangement shown in FIG. l0 should be designed in such a manner that the air gap A1, and the electrode spacing AC vary equally or at least in the same ratio as the deformation of the spring bar 1. These requirements are met is, with a specific force P, the air gap AL and the electrode spacing AC simultaneously becorne Zero. As heretofore discussed, the variable oscillator 10 has been constructed in such a manner that either the coil 3 or the capacitor 9 or both have been employed to convert the change in shape of the spring bar 1 into variations in inductance and capacity respectively and hence into frequency changes. Particular advantages are obtained in producing frequency changes if two variable oscillators 20 and 36 are used, as shown in FIG. 11. Each oscillator comprises an inductance or capacity-element the inductance and capacity of which can be varied by the deformation. Both oscillators 20 and 36 may be constructed like the oscillator 10, and are provided respectively with variable inductance coils 3 and 5. In this embodiment, the spring bar 1 is arranged between two rigid bars 2 and 8 so that the inductance of coil 3 increases and the inductance of the coil 5 decreases simultaneously. It follows from this that the frequency of the oscillator 2t) drops and the frequency of the oscillator 36 rises. The frequency difference is thus twice as great as with one oscillator alone. For the unstressed condition, the frequency f1 is obtained from the oscillator 20 and the frequency f1 from the oscillator 36 from which the number of cycles S1 (from the oscillator 20) and N1 (from the oscillator 36) result during the interval of time t1. For the case where the spring bar 1 is loaded by a force P, the oscillator Z0 has a frequency f2 and the oscillator 36 a frequency f2. Over the interval of time t2, which must be equal in length to t1, the numbers of cycles S2 and N2 are counted in a similar manner to S1 and N2. The differential value (S1-S2)*(N1-N2) represents the measure of the magnitude of the force P in this case. Instead of counting the numbers of cycles of the individual oscillator 2t) and 36, the cycles of the differential frequencies (S1-N1) and (S2-N2) respectively may be counted. These differential frequencies are formed in a mixer stage 31 (FIG. 12) and utilized similarly to the arrangement as shown in FIG. 3, the oscillator 10 being replaced in this case by the combination consisting of the oscillator 20, oscillator 36 and mixer stage 31. By counting the cycles of the differential frequencies, it is possible to save counting and storage devices in comparison with the method of counting each individual oscillator frequency. FIG. 13 shows a circuit example of a mixer stage 31 which is suitable for the mixing of the frequencies produced by the oscillators 20 and 36. The oscillators are connected to the input terminals k and 0 or l and o respectively. The mixer stage comprises the resistors 32, 33 and 34. The differential frequency is taken olf at the output m and o. The frequency of the oscillator 20 may also be determined by the arrangement as shown in FIGS. 1, 9 or 10 while the oscillator 36 comprises neither a variable inductance or capacity. The frequency of oscillator 36 is therefore constant. In this case, therefore, only frequency-determining parts of the oscillator 20 are coupled to the spring bar 1. The mixer stage according to FIG. 13 is supplied in this case with a variable frequency from the oscillator 20 and a fixed frequency from the oscillator 36. Advantages of such an arrangement lie in the fact that the oscillators can work at relatively high frequencies in an arrangement as shown in FIGS. l, 9 or l0 and the differential frequency can nevertheless be shifted into a range which is particularly suitable for the processing of the counting values. Instead of the two inductances of FIG. l1, the capacities of two capacitors may be varied by the deformation, in a similar manner to FIG. 9. Both the inductance of the coil 3 and the capacity of the capacitor 9 may, however, be varied simultaneously in a similar manner to FIG. 10. Additionally, the inductance of the coil 3 may be varied by one oscillator, for example oscillator 20 and the capacity of the capacitor 9 may be Varied by the other oscillator 36 as shown in FIG. 14. The differential frequency f1*f1 as an initial frequency in the unstressed condition of the spring bar 1 can now be selected from a wide range, providing the following possibilities (hereinafter the corresponding numbers of cycles S and N are inserted instead of the frequencies) (l) S1 greater than N1, it being assumed that S becornes `greater and N becomes smaller as the bending of the sprin-g bar 1 increases; this case is illustrated graphically in FIG. 15. In this case (andthis also applies to FIGS. 16 and l7) the ordinates of the numbers of cycles S1 and N1 are plotted against the abscissa value P. The algebraic sum (S1-N1)-(S2-N2) now obtained as a result of the fact that the smaller counting value (S1-N1) is subtracted from the greater counting value (S2-N2). This requires a forward and backward counter as a counting and storage mechanism, in which the counting value (Sr-N1) is stored during the first measurement and this counting value (S1-N1) is reduced by the counting value (ST-N2) during the second measurement. (2) S1 lsmaller than N1 and the same assumption as under (l) that S becomes greater and N becomes smaller with increasing bending of the spring bar 1. This case is graphically illustrated in FIG. 16. I-n this case, the differential `frequency (S-N) passes through the value zero if S and N are equal in magnitude for a specific value of the bending of the spring bar 1. This case provides an advantage because the counting values (S1-N1) and (S2-N2) do not have to be subtracted but can be added for-which purpose a total counter is sufficient as a counting mechanism. (3) There is a special case for the setting of the initial frequencies S1 and N1 if S1 is selected equal to N1. (FIG. 17). In this case, the counting is reduced to the determination of the value (S2-N2) because the diiierential frequency (S1-N1) has a zero value according to the above hypothesis. A total counter is also sufficient for this case. With the counting mechanisms described, only whole numbers of cycles can be counted and not fractions thereof. In order to increase the measuring accuracy, therefore, it is an advantage if the numbers of cycles are high so that an uncounted fraction of the irst or last cycle has relatively little influence on the accuracy of the measurement. With low numbers of cycles, however, the accuracy can be increased as a result of the fact that the differential frequencies are multiplied before they act on the counting and storage mechanisms. A circuit arrangement 35 for frequency multiplication (in this case frequency doubling) can be connected to the input side of the counters 23 and 24, as shown in FIG. 18. The input signal appears at the terminals p and q. The output terminals are r and s, s being connected to the potential center of the input potential at the terminals p, q. Thus full-wave rectification takes place and the output pulses have double the basic frequency of the input pulses. The coil 3 in the arrangement shown in FIG. 1, Aor the coils 3 and 5 in an arrangement as shown in FIG. 11, which are shown as secured to the spring bar 1, may, of course, also be mounted on the rigid bars 2, or 2 and 8 respectively. The effect is the same because only the size of the air gap determines the inductance of the coils 3, or 3 and 5 respectively. This also has the advantage that the electric leads to the coils canrbe xedly secured Whereas in an arrangement as shown in FIG. 1 or FIG. 11 movable electrical conductors are necessary between oscillator and coil 3 or 3 and 5 respectively. In the examples heretofore given, the oscillators 10, 20 and 36 respectively have been represented throughout as generators with LC oscillator circuits. As a modification, however, an RC generator may be used as in FIG. 20. Resistance can also be varied by the deformation of the spring bar 1. Known strain gauges, for example, employ such variable resistors. An arrangement which is suitable for this type of force measurement is shown in FIG. 19, the circuit of this oscillator being shown in FIG. 20. The spring bar 1 carries the measuring resistor 41. The deformation of the spring bar 1 is transmitted to the measuring resistor 41 and the value of the measuring resistor 41 is increased when spring bar 1 bends downwards. The measuring resistor 41 acts as a frequency-determining member in the oscillator 10. Together with i? the f iXed capacitors 43, 44 and the load resistors 42, 46 and 47 they form a Wien bridge to which the tube 45 is connected. Together with the tube 50, the anode resistor 49 and the feedback capacitor 48, this circuit is capable of producing and maintaining oscillations, (the frequency f of which is determined by the products RC of the values of the -resistor 41 and of the capacitor 43 or of the resistor 42 and of the capacitor 44 respectively. Every variation in the value of the measuring resistor 41 will therefore cause corresponding frequency changes which can be used in the same manner to obtain digital results as was described above. Two variable resistors 41', 41" may, however, be varied in the opposite sense by the deformation of the spring bar 1 as the arrangement in FIG. 2l shows. In this case, the oscillators 20 and 36 are constructed in the form of RC generators in accordance with FIG. 20. Both frequency-determining resistors (41 and 42) of the Wien bridge may, however, be varied in the same sense as a result of the deformation of the spring bar 1, as a result of which the frequency changes are doubled. The above disclosure has been given by way of illustration and elucidation and not by way of limitation and it is desired to protect all embodiments of the here disclosed inventive concept Within the scope of the appended claims.

look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Bought this a few weeks ago, and no vintage, so I assume this is a relatively fresh beer.
A: A solid, pale, large Brett head. Very cloudy, not sure if that's haze from the non-barley grains (at least rye, maybe wheat) or the bottle conditioning yeast sediment.
S: Citrusy and floral aroma, but not pungent or intense; very fresh smelling in a good way.
T/M: There's a berry fruitiness to the taste, with a smooth spiciness. Nice, full mouthfeel, without being terribly sweet; it's dry without compromising body. A bit of fruit-like sourness. Very mild Brett-characteristic funk.
O: I really like this beer. Very refreshing, tasty, and complex. There's a lot going on, but the beer is not muddy, and is not overly intense in any of its attributes (ie sour, spicy, funky). I think the rye is adding a lot and giving the beer a very down-to-earth feel, perhaps because the mild spice and mouthfeel. I plan to pick up a bottle for aging, because I can see this really changing positively (ie more funk) with some age (not that it isn't great now).

4.48/5 rDev +9%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4.5
Poured from a 750 ml bottle into a Duvel tulip glass. Bottled on 07/22/13.
Appearance: Pours a very hazy golden orange with a moderate amount of bubbles. Huge three finger off white head with good retention. Leaves a decent amount of lacing.
Smell: A bright, yeasty, and fruity Belgian style aroma with big hints of spices, funk, and fruit. Upfront Belgian yeast with hints of clove, peppers, farmhouse funk, and some Brett funk. Fruit hints of pear, apple, banana, white grape, lemon, and orange. Some hints of wood and rustic leather. Bready malt hints of biscuit, grains, straw, rye, and cracker. Sweet hints of candied sugar. Some earthy hop hints as well. A pretty solid Saison aroma.
Taste: Like the nose hints at, a yeasty, funky, and fruity Belgian farmhouse style taste with good notes of spice and fruit. Upfront Belgian yeast with notes of farmhouse funk, clove, peppers, and Brett funk. Fruity taste of green apple, pear, banana, white grapes, orange, and lemon. Note of wood and some subtle rustic leather notes. Sweet taste of candied sugar. Bready malt presence with notes of grains, biscuit, straw, hay, rye, and cracker. Subtle earthy hops in the background. A very good Belgian style taste.
Mouthfeel: Medium bodied with a high level of carbonation. Spicy, juicy, and somewhat prickly with a drying finish. Very smooth with a well hidden alcohol presence.
Overall: A very good take on a Saison/Farmhouse ale. Great blend of yeast, spices, and dry fruit flavors. The subtle rye and Brett add a nice kick.

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4.25
appearance: Hazy peach. Huge billowy head that almost exploded out of my tulip. Good looking brew here.
smell: Yeasty and a little spicy. A touch of funk but nothing too rude. A little fruit. Nose has a lot of subtle things happening and well....smells great.
taste: Not quite up to the nose but damn tasty.
overall: well done. a subtle but rich take.

4.21/5 rDev +2.4%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4.25 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.25
A: Pours a deep honey or butterscotch colour with a massive 4-5 fingers of off-white head which lingers for a long time with plenty of lacing.
S: Upfront notes of yeasty bread followed by light spices, ginger, lemon, toasted sweet malts (caramel) fruit and hints of brett.
T: Very similar to the smell with more pronounced underripe (bright, tart) fruit, yeasty bread and brett.
M: Medium to medium-full bodied with moderate carbonation.
O: A great big saison with brett working to compliment the flavours instead of dominating them. Will be buying again.

Well, in my school, you get a pizza and ice cream party if you pass 50 tests with 40 multiplication problems per test. You also get ONLY a minute for each. I am good at math, just not timing. So when me and some classmates didn't pass,we had people sign petition.people from every grade signed.And teachers! Not only did me and the others bond and become BFFs, it also worked. But just to make sure we wrote essays too. So for the new school yaer comes, I'm writing my new teacher a letter saying "Just to let you know, i am kind of difficult. like the time i started a petion over.." Mrel:Nothing is impossible.The word itself says "I'm possible!"

Summary | Excerpt | Reading Guide | Reviews | Beyond the Book | Readalikes | Genres & Themes | Author Bio
Jane flinched as a great wind blast from a train going in the opposite direction suddenly rocked them. Why on earth did they put the tracks so close together? And instantly her head was full of helicopter news footage: carriages jackknifed - they always used that verb, making it sound the more violent - trains strewn at the bottom of embankments, flashing lights, stretcher crews and, in the background, one carriage mounting another like mating metal. Quickly her mind ran on to plane crashes, mass slaughter, cancer, the strangling of old ladies who lived alone, and the probable absence of immortality. The God Who Approved of Things was powerless against such visions. She tipped the last of the cognac into her tea. She must get Alice to distract her.
"What are you thinking about?" she asked, timid as a firsttimer in a book-signing queue.
"Actually, I was wondering if you'd ever been jealous of me."
"Why were you wondering that?"
"I don't know. Just one of those stray thoughts that arrive."
"Good. Because it's hardly kind."
"Isn't it?"
"Well, if I admit I've been jealous of you, that makes me a mean-spirited friend. And if I say I haven't, it sounds as if I'm so smug I can't find anything in your life or your books worthy of jealousy."
"Jane, I'm sorry. Put like that - I'm a bitch. Apologies."
"Accepted. But since you ask..."
"Are you sure I want to hear this now?" Strange how there were still times when she underestimated Jane.
"...I don't know if 'jealous' is the right word. But I was envious as hell about the Mike Nichols thing - until it went away. And I was pretty furious when you slept with my husband, but that was anger not jealousy, I think."
"I suppose that was tactless of me. But he was your ex-husband by then. And back in those days everyone slept with everyone, didn't they?" Beneath such worldliness, Alice felt pressing irritation. This again? It wasn't as if they hadn't discussed it to death at the time. And afterwards. And Jane had written that bloody novel about it, claiming that "David" was just about to return to "Jill" when "Angela" intervened. What it didn't say in the novel was that it was two years, not two months, on, and by that time "David" was fucking half of west London as well as "Angela."
"It was tactless of you to tell me."
"Yes. I suppose I hoped you'd make me stop. I needed someone to make me stop. I was a mess at the time, wasn't I?" And they'd discussed that too. Why did some people forget what they needed to remember, and remember what was best forgotten?

Hot Spot Inventor Wants Infrared Technology To Be Used In Winter Ashes
The inventor of the Hot Spot technology that "played a central role in the first two Ashes Tests on Sunday" plans to persuade the Int'l Cricket Council that his refined Snickometer "should be part of the Decision Review System in time for the winter Ashes series in Australia," according to Paul Rees of the London GUARDIAN. Warren Brennan, the founder of BBG Sports, the Australian company behind Hot Spot, believes that "the combination of infra-red and audio technology would all but eliminate doubt about whether a batsman has edged the ball, either on to his pads or for a catch." "Snicko" is a tool used only for TV, but Brennan's English partner, Alan Plaskett, has "developed what is called Real Time Snicko, an improvement on the previous technology which furnishes the third umpire with details within seconds rather than minutes." It was the "slowness of the old system, rather than its accuracy, that stopped the ICC adopting it." Hot Spot, which has been used by the ICC since '06, "is not cheap." The four-camera system costs around £7,500 ($11,537) a day, "three times more than" Real Time Snicko. The bill is paid by TV companies, with the ICC "so far reluctant to make a financial investment in the technology that is playing an increasing role in Test cricket" (GUARDIAN, 7/27).
UK Athletics Hoping To Hold Next Year's Diamond League At Various London Venues
UK Athletics is "exploring a radical plan to stage next year's Diamond League meeting at a range of venues around London, with the sprint events coming from the Mall and the jumps from Horse Guards Parade," according to Owen Gibson of the London GUARDIAN. To "maintain the momentum of this weekend's Anniversary Games, UK Athletics is also hoping to bring the London Diamond League meeting back to the Olympic Stadium in 2015," despite the fact that its conversion "will not be finished until the summer" of '16. UK Athletics CEO Niels de Vos said, "There is a growing desire to keep this in London because you don't want to prick the bubble." A total of 195,000 tickets were sold for the three days of the Anniversary Games, which raised hopes among UK Athletics execs that "they will be able to enthuse a new wave of athletics fans who were engaged by last year's London Olympics." The Anniversary Games are "believed to have brought in revenue" of between £9M ($13.8M) and £10M ($15.4M) in ticket sales and sponsorship, leaving UK Athletics with a profit of at least £5M ($7.7M) (GUARDIAN, 7/27).
Tour De France Director Christian Prudhomme Calls Proposed Women's Version Premature
Tour de France Dir Christian Prudhomme has criticized Labour's deputy leader Harriet Harman for her public proposal for a women's version of the Tour de France, insisting it is "ill-conceived and premature," according to Staniforth & Crooks of the London TELEGRAPH. Harman wrote an "open letter to Prudhomme last week urging him to look into the possibility of staging a women's event alongside next year's Grand Depart." Harman's letter "was backed by a 70,000-strong petition" and Prudhomme's response came on the day Int'l Cycling Union (UCI) presidential candidate Brian Cookson confirmed that he was "facilitating a meeting" with Tour owner Amaury Sport Organization "with regard to staging a women's race." Prudhomme accused Harman of "being impractical in her approach, and indicated it may be 'impossible' to simply bolt a women's competition on the side of a race that is already stretched to full capacity." Prudhomme: "It would have been much easier to talk to us directly instead of a petition and [finding out by] opening your mailbox and you don't know what has happened. We are open to everything. Having women's races is very important for me. [But] the Tour is huge and you cannot have it bigger and bigger and bigger down the road -- it is impossible" (TELEGRAPH, 7/26).
COOKING IT UP: The PA reported Harman's letter came as Cookson confirmed he is currently arranging a meeting with ASO about staging a women's race. Cookson -- who is also head of British Cycling -- "appeared more positive about the prospect of a major women's race and announced that a five-day international stage race will be held during next year's Tour of Britain." Cookson said, "It will be the first step in having a full equivalent Tour of Britain as it develops." Cookson also "appeared to distance himself from Harman's specific proposal, urging caution over any attempts simply to 'mimic' the men's Tour." Cookson: "Women's teams that are bolted on to men's teams is not the only answer" (PA, 7/26).

OGP (International Association of Oil and Gas Producers) and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) have released their interim draft in response to industry uncertainties associated with trade regulations (EU and US) and their applicability to standardisation in the oil and gas sector. Excerpts as follows:
The authors explain that there is an industry need to provide guidance for the equipment, systems, procedures and training for those parties engaged in the delivery of LNG as fuel to ships. Although there is some national experience in this activity, the intent of this Technical Specification is to help standardize the interface between the ship and the fuel supply facilities to ensure that a LNG fuelled ship can refuel in any port around the world with LNG fuel supply facilities. Further they recognise that there is an urgency for this guidance to be in place and also that the solutions available are still at a relatively early stage of development and deployment. Accordingly this document has been issued for pre-standardization purposes with the intent to expand and update the document on a frequent basis as industry experience grows and to be developed into an ISO International Standard.
Scope The objective of the Technical Specification is to provide guidance for the planning and design of the bunkering facility, the ship/bunkering facility interface, procedures for connection and disconnection, the emergency shutdown interface, and the LNG bunkering process control, and thereby ensuring that an LNG fuelled ship can refuel with a high level of safety, integrity and reliability regardless of the type of bunkering facility. The interface comprises the area of LNG transfer and includes manifold, valves, safety and security systems and other equipment, and the personnel involved in the LNG bunkering operations. The document can be downloaded at: http://www.ogp.org.uk

According to boss Brian Laws, David Mirfin could be missing for up to eight weeks.
The United defender took a knock to his knee towards the end of last weekend's FA Cup defeat to Gillingham and as a consequence missed the midweek win over Walsall.
On Wednesday, the defender also went for a scan as the Iron management tried to ascertain the extent of the damage.
Speaking after the 2-1 win over Coventry City on Saturday, boss Laws explained that not only was the injury worse than originally feared but also that Mirfin faces an extended period on the treatment table.
He told The Iron Player: "We have had the scan results and it is not looking good.
"It looks like it could be a minimum of six weeks, but maybe nearer eight.
"He has tweaked his ligament and unfortunately that's the time this injury takes.
"But Niall Canavan has come in and grabbed his opportunity, so for us that was a bonus.
"On Tuesday he had one little flaw in his game towards the end but on Saturday he was superb.
"I am sure that Niall's confidence will be growing with every game that goes by."
At half time at the Ricoh Arena, the Iron replaced right-back Christian Ribeiro, with Callum Kennedy coming on in his place - a decision the boss explained was out of necessity rather than choice.
"He felt his groin in the first half," he continued.
"It was getting tight so we felt that we had to change it.
"I thought that Callum (Kennedy) did very well when he came on.
"We know he is a left-back but as I told him it is the same position, just the other side of the pitch.
"I thought that some of his balls were excellent and he did a good job for the team.
"He allowed us to get into corners and cause problems."
During Saturday's win Josh Walker was shown a yellow card, meaning that he sits out next weekend's game with Notts County.
Add to that David Prutton's three-game ban and the Iron are a little lightweight in the centre of the park.
Over recent days there has been increased speculation of a move for former fans' favourite Matt Sparrow.
Despite admitting he would love to bring the 31-year-old back to Glanford Park, Laws admits he is more focused on what he has and the twelfth man in the stands who he feels is vital.
"Obviously we are looking in that area," he added.
"But that is it for now as far as we are concerned, we have to concentrate on us and who we have.
"The two results of late have set us up really nicely to push on.
"Now we need the supporters to come out and back the eleven on the park.
"That's what will be the key, whether financial or from a morale point of view.
"We need the fans to come and show their support for the team,
"So I am pleading to them, please come out - we need you." See much more from Brian Laws, Paul Reid and Steve Mildenhall on The Iron Player.
