More than 1 million have used first-time homebuyer credit
- Mark Anderson
- Staff writer
The deadline is Dec. 1 for first-time homebuyers to have completed a purchase of a house to qualify for the homebuyer credit of up to $8,000 from the federal government.
So far, 1.4 million people have used the credit, the Internal Revenue Service said Friday.
The credit is 10 percent of the purchase price of a home, up to the maximum of $8,000. The credit either reduces a tax payment or is returned as a higher refund next year.
There are income limits and other details about the credit, which is part of the government's effort to rein in the housing crisis by reducing the inventory of homes on the market.
For details about the credit, visit the Web site at: irs.gov/recovery for more information.

Âme have been working together now for more than ten years, in which time they they've put out a number of underground club favorites, most notably 2005's "Rej" which clocked in at RA's #3 track of the '00s. Their Innervisions imprint, co-run with Berlin-based artist Dixon, has been highly influential in deep house over the years, with a discography that includes works from Henrik Schwarz, Laurent Garnier and Marcus Worgull. Beyer and Wiedemann released the full length Âme Live back in May, which documents the first year of their live act. Beyer, who most often represents the duo behind the decks, will begin his tour at Sugar in Adelaide on October 11th, before heading to Brisbane the next evening to play Sky Room. From there, he zips down to Melbourne to play a day party at Brown Alley on October 13th with locals Mike Callander, Darius Bassiray and Sleep D, before flying back up to Sydney to play The Spice Cellar that night.

It doesn't take much to tick people off in these touchy times. That's not a great thing for society, but it's probably a good thing for sportswriters. (It's not, actually. None of the following involves anything resembling a global crisis, so let's all just try to be amused.)
Anyhow, here are a few items of the week:
1. Mike Tirico Says Coaches Act Goofy: During the ESPN telecast of Tuesday night's Ohio State-Iowa men's basketball game, play-by-play man Mike Tirico did some editorializing.
"Calls have gone both ways against both coaches," Tirico began. "And I understand their anger, (but) something's got to be done about decorum in college basketball coaches. If these guys want their players to play with poise, their actions on the sidelines — and that's all coaches in this league — needs to be better.
"Candidly, it's childish and embarrassing."
"That is not kicking on Fran (McCaffery), who's been suspended for a game.
"You're asking kids to play with poise. You've got to do it as well."
It probably was kicking on McCaffery, but Iowa's coach isn't the only one in the Big Ten or the college game who rages from time to time.
It's a high-pressure situation, when your reputation hangs on those two-hour snippets. Added to the nature of basketball, played in a virtual cage with the audience so close to you, and emotions would overwhelm most of us.
But at the same time … in what other walk of life could you act like these coaches do and not get fired on the spot? Besides professional wrestling, that is.
Picture one of your co-workers screaming and stomping at an authority figure at your workplace. Then picture that co-worker getting marched to the Human Resources department or out of the building altogether.
But here's the deal: When it's someone else's coach, he's a maniac. When it's your team's coach, he's passionate. It's like poor people who act crazy being called lunatics, while rich people who do the same are eccentric.
2. Paul Rhoads Rants About Recruiting: Here is the transcript of what Iowa State football coach Paul Rhoads said Wednesday about the recruitment of wide receiver Allen Lazard of Urbandale:
Let me talk about Allen Lazard a little bit before I get to the rest of the class. Mature, high character, integrity, accountable, trustworthy, true to his word of 14-months. Fourteen months. Allen Lazard sent in his official letter of intent today. He's not going to a school in northern Indiana. Boy, they wasted a lot of time and money. He's not going to another school in this state, who feverishly called him about a half a dozen times in the past week. Much to the dismay of people in this room who have wasted a lot of space and time challenging his word of commitment. He is going right here to Iowa State University. And true to his word, he will become the second top-rated player in the state, two years in a row, to become a Cyclone, and I'm very thrilled with Allen Lazard joining this program. As a bonus to Allen, I'm going to keep him off limits to the media for his freshman year. I think he's earned that after what he's been through the last 14 months.
Some people of a Hawkeye bent mocked Rhoads about this. People of a Cyclone bent probably found it enjoyable.
The story of how seriously Iowa pursued Lazard in the last week is a "He Said, He Said" deal, and I don't care if it was light and harmless or a full-court press to try to persuade him to change his mind about Iowa State. Recruiting high school kids is an unseemly game that's always bound to lead to hard feelings between staffs and programs.
It happens every year. A war of words flared between Bret Bielema and Urban Meyer when Bielema was Wisconsin's coach. There supposedly was hard feelings by Iowa coaches because of things allegedly said by Michigan State coaches on the recruiting trail shortly after Iowa had 13 players hospitalized with rhabdomyolysis. Recruiting dust-ups are as old as recruiting. If you think there's a coaching staff in big-time football that has never said a critical word about another coaching staff or school, I've got some beachfront property in Cedar Rapids I'd like to sell you.
I love it. I don't want millionaire coaches to have gentlemen's agreements and slap each other on the back laughing. I want the mirage that they're all quietly or not-so-quietly seething at opposing coaches. I want it to be, yes, professional wrestling.
When Rhoads stands in a press conference and makes the kind of statement he makes Wednesday, he's getting his fans fired up. The 2013 season was all Hawkeyes when it came to football in this state. Iowa State, which was the one of the state's two FBS teams that went to a bowl in 2012, fell off the map last season while Iowa bounced back. Rhoads is trying to collect some heat.
Were his words of Wednesday gracious? Not really. Were they necessary? Not at all. Did they get aired on Wednesday's 10 p.m. KCRG-TV (Cedar Rapids) sportscast and get featured in this story at TheGazette.com? Oh yeah.
I'm hoping and trusting that was Rhoads' motivation. Because if he had genuinely been ticked off at Iowa (and Notre Dame), just what racket does he think he's in?
3. Big Ten/Big 12: Which is better at basketball? Answer: I couldn't tell you.
They're both deep with good teams. KenPom.com says the Big Ten is the strongest. Wednesday night, it also had Iowa ranked higher than any other Big Ten team. But hey, Iowa is ranked ahead of Michigan in the USA Today coaches' poll. Rankings are fun.
Associated Press' Top 25 has five Big 12 teams to just three in the Big Ten. But would you take No. 19 Oklahoma State over unranked Ohio State on a neutral court? Maybe.
Which league has the best single team? Answer: I couldn't tell you. Is Kansas better than Michigan State or vice versa? I don't know.
What I could have done is emphatically declared one of the two is superior and given a stack of so-called reasons. That would have riled up a lot of you. It also would have been like, well, professional wrestling.
Besides, Wichita State can beat anyone from either league, anywhere, anytime.
(I don't mean that part about anywhere, anytime, but it's as WWE-ish as I can get.)
Paul Rhoads accomplished a lot with this odd rant. Made it clear that Lazard is more important than the other 24 guys in the recruiting class. Won't take the other incoming freshmen long to observe the preferential treatment the Chosen One receives. Rhoads also revealed what a vindictive and insecure person he is. Bet he goes through his wife's cell phone to see who's been texting her.
Please…It's amusing that many in the media is playing up this portion of his comments in order to avoid acknowledging they got call out by Rhoads for practically lobbying Lazard to go elsewhere. John Sears in particular.
I have no doubt that Lazard will be treated just like any other freshman. And from the small amount I know of him, I think that's exactly what he wants.
Paul Rhoads hypocrisy is staggering on this one. Wow. ISU doesn't do this? Jake Campos anyone?
Couple thoughts here)… this wasn't all about the media, I've seen a few Iowa State fans trying to pretend like that, but those arent the words of somebody playing it up in the media. He is an odd dude. Strangely enough he's exactly like Dan McCarney only more demonstrative and angry. And there's a whole boatload of Iowa State fans who got tired of Dans antics. There's also several coming around to the fact that the program can't sustain his constant emotional swings. It's not sustainable and they have proven that every year multiple times.
Interestingly enough I feel the same way about Fran. Ive only recently got over the way our fans treated our basketball program for several years, so I'm fairly new to Frans antics but they are boorish.
And the supreme Irony there being we've had plenty of fans not like KF's co

And the supreme Irony there being we've had plenty of fans not like KF's calm, even, yet intense demeanor on the sidelines…. They want him to be more excitable. Well this is what excitable looks like… It's boorish!
Double entry, sorry…smart phones are great and suck all at the same time…lol

Political power and aid tying practices in the development assistance committee countries
This paper examines on a panel of 22 OECD Development Assistance Committee countries whether fragmentation of executive power and the degree of competition in the legislative branch of government increases the amount of tied aid over the 1979-2009 period. Fragmentation and competition are broadly defined as the degree to which the costs of a dollar of aid expenditure are internalized by decision makers and the relative strength of the government's position vis-à-vis legislative composition respectively. The empirical results show tied aid, both in levels and as a percentage of total aid, increases as the number of decision makers within the government increases and decreases as the proportion of excess seats a governing coalition holds above a simple majority increases.Download Info

2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class
User Reviews
There are 1 user reviews for the E320 Wagon trim shown below
- Pros
- A+ All Around
We bought a '04 E320 4Matic and after driving it most of the summer can say without a doubt, MB has lived up to their reputation, again. This is our second MB and I can't imagine driving anything else. The 320 doesn�t have the power of the 500 or the 55, of course, but still can't be called a slouch. Performance is more than adequate for a car this size for both in town and highway driving. If you�re looking for pavement scorching performance, then you�ll probably want to go up to at least the 500, if not the 55.
We live in Alaska and the 4Matic (ESP/4ETS) is phenomenal. The stability program keeps you on track and virtually eliminates lateral slide in even the worst conditions. ESP monitors the direction of the car vs. the drivers intended course. If there is a problem the stability program kicks in to assist in bringing the car back into a straight line.
As for the service, it is like no other. I have driven other top name vehicles and have never received the service I have since owning a MB. We have taken the car in twice; once for an A service and once for a minor issue with the passenger seat. The A service was performed at a dealer other than where we bought the car and they were just as courteous and friendly as our home dealer. No waiting at either dealer; the service advisors took the car right in; even having a non MB vehicle taken off a rack so ours could go up. Top notch service all around.
My only complaint, and it's a minor one, is that beginning in '05 MB is doing away with the Flex Service System on their vehicles. Also, the ride of the 320 and 500 sedans we drove was a little rough, compared to what we were used to. The multi-link suspension has a different feel to it in the new models that makes the ride a little stiffer than before. Certainly nothing that would stop us from buying the car; instead though we opted for the wagon, which is a little heaver, because of both the ride and the cargo space.
These cars have the look, appointments and above all the safety that is yet unmatched by any other automaker. If you are in the market for a vehicle in this class, do yourself a favor and visit a dealer or check out mbusa.com. There is a lot more to these vehicles than meets the eye. A polished appearance is just a damn nice bonus....read morehide3 out of 4 people found this review helpful.

With the launch of the high end and pricey 1520 - don't expect much change for R10 000 if you pay cash, although you can get it on a monthly contract for R499 -
My first impressions of the 1520, based on the short time I got to spend with it at the Joburg launch, are very favourable, but then I do like big phones - I own the Note 3, after all. That said, it's surprisingly slim and doesn't feel over heavy in the hand, and all that extra screen real estate is a boon to browse the web or watch videos.

I've been playing d3 on and off since release and i came back to it about 3weeks ago and ever since i have been getting ping for 600-2000. I was wondering if anyone else has been having this problem lately? I used to get pings of about 200-300 which I was fine with. I play many other online games with American based servers and still get pings of 200 ish. Any advice would be handy.

The Beatles' Story has been retold in a new children's book by textile artist Maria Saunderson, who has crafted iconic moments in the Fab Four's career, in fabric collage and embroidery.
The book begins, 'Once upon a Liverpool' and documents famous events such as when the Quarrymen played on an outdoor stage at St Peter's church fete, the Beatles trip to Hamburg, The Sergeant Pepper album and the last performance at the Cavern.
There are 12 scenes in all and each image is crafted using at least 150 pieces of fabric as well as beads and sequins. The project took Maria two years to complete and was a labour of love.
Maria from New Brighton, said: "The Beatles' story is epic and it's ongoing. It was difficult to know where to start and where to end. It wasn't until I was invited by Jerry Goldman to have a look around The Beatles Story attraction that I was able to choose specific points to focus on and most importantly where to end the book. I continuously researched it while I was stitching the illustrations, as I wanted to make sure that the details were right which on occasion has proved difficult, as facts about them seem to change on a regular basis.
"There's one scene where the Beatles are playing on the rooftop of Apple and Ringo was wearing a red, PVC Mac. I recreated this scene for the book and noticed that the buttons on his coat were on the wrong side. After even more research, I found out that Ringo had borrowed his wife's coat as it'd started to rain and John had borrowed Yoko Ono's fur coat."
The book has a Fab Four Facts section and there is a little submarine called Rigby on every page – for toddlers to find.
The book is aimed at children (although adults will love it too) and Maria will be auctioning an original hand stitched piece of Beatles artwork, framed with a poem which features at the beginning of the book and two signed framed prints, at the book launch on Tuesday July 17th in Liverpool Town Hall. All proceeds will go to Alder Hey Children's Hospital Imagine appeal.
The stitched piece features John Lennon looking down on the world and was inspired by the words of Imagine; it has a little submarine, the Liver building and a peace sign. The actual size prints are of Sgt Peppers and the final picture in the book on the Abbey Rd crossing, they will have collaged embellishments added to make them unique.
Maria is a freelance textile artist whose work has featured in many of the leading craft magazines. This is her second book, the first 'The Brave Little Ferryboats' told the story of how Liverpool's famous ferryboats the Royal Iris and the Royal Daffodil got their title Royal – it is also illustrated through the medium of fabric collage. Both books are designed to be read in schools, as part of the curriculum.
Liverpool attraction The Beatles Story is supporting Maria in her endeavours and will be selling the book through it's shop - both in the store in Liverpool's Albert Dock and online.
Managing Director of The Beatles Story, Jerry Goldman, said: "This book is beautiful. It will help parents and grandparents tell the story of the Fab Four to their children and grandchildren. It really is something for all the family and the images are something else."
The photography for the book was taken by Wing at Wings Studio.
The book is available to buy, priced £5.99 from The Beatles Story shop at http://store.beatlesstory.com/ and through Maria Saunderson's website at http://www.stitchnfriends.co.uk/beatles.htm

Poured from a bottle into a champagne flute.
A:Pours a dark purple red. A nice light pink head graces the top, fizzling out quickly to a delicate lace that lingers across the top of the liquid.
S: Smells strongly of raspberries. Sweet, deep. Rich malt rounds out the sweet and acidic nose.
T: Raspberries, raspberries, and raspberries. Sweetness hits the tongue first, quickly followed by fruity acidic bitterness that wraps around the sides of the tongue. The malt is extremely hard to taste.
M: Light and highly carbonated. Overly sweet and sower for my taste - like sucking on a jolly rancher.
O: An extremely fruity champagne-like drink. Not nearly complex enough to stand on its own, unleses you are just looking for a nicer version of arbor mist. It would probably be a very nice addition to mixed drinks though...

Hazy reddish brown color. Foam almost entirely leaves after a few minutes in the glass. Very tart smelling freshly picked raspberry aroma. The carbonation level is a bit high and the mouthfeel is a bit sticky. Very intense raspberry flavor pricks the taste buds. Dessert in a glass. Very rich.

I poured this into a snifter and got a finger and 1/2 of head the color of raspberry sherbert over a deep ruby body. Lace clings well.
Smells like raspberries and raspberry syrup. And I think I smell a little framboise :)
The beer starts out for a split second with a generic sugary sweetness before delving into a full raspberry experience. Starts out sweet, ends a little tart. I also swear I taste the little seeds.
This beer is light-medium bodied. Has some prickly carbonation and drinks almost more like pop than beer.

A: Pours a berry red as expected with small head. The head is relatively thin and pink. Spotted lacing present on the glass.
S: Strong raspberry and really pleasant.
T: Berries - raspberry definitely present, but possibly others. Sweet. Really sweet - like eating the icing on cake.
M: Light because of the fruit flavor, yet heavy because of the over the top sweetness.
O: Really good for what it is but not your average drinking beer - definitely not sessionable due to its sweetness.

I have never liked beer, but on a whim I picked up a bottle of this at Trader Joe's, and it made me start to understand why so many people enjoy the stuff in general.
It poured a beautiful rosy pink, left a nice white foam that dissipated fairly quickly, but most importantly, it smacked me in the face both aroma and taste-wise with the freshest raspberries I've ever tasted. The carbonation was pretty mild, and there was a nice light sourness that I've since learned is probably from the Brettanomyces and other wonderful critters that help make a proper lambic.
This is the beverage that inspired me to start learning about and tasting other beer styles, and so far, it's still my favorite.

4.05/5 rDev +4.7%
look: 4 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Serving type: 12-ounce bottle. A batch code is printed on the label but there is no freshness date. The bottle featured both a cap and cork. Also, this has to be the heaviest 12-ounce bottle I have ever held.
Appearance: Served in a New Glarus flute. About a finger of pink foam developed, but it did not stick around very long, leaving a ring around the edge and a skim in the center of the glass. The color is dark, raspberry red.
Smell: The intense fruitiness was impossible to miss after I pulled out the cork. I know it is supposed to be raspberry lambic, but it smells a lot like cranberry juice. However, the raspberries are very noticeable when I put my nose to the rim. The smell is of firm, freshly-picked raspberries.
Taste: Super, lip-puckering tart! And the tartness lingers in the aftertaste. Wow! However, after the initial shock it becomes much more palatable. At first I thought there may be more than raspberries — perhaps cranberries, apples, and grapes — but as the beer warms the rich, darker raspberry flavor takes over. There could be grapes and apples involved. Regarding the texture, mouthfeel, and overall experience, it is very reminiscent of sparkling cider.
Drinkability: Berrylicious! Very tart and fruity, but I like it.

No bottle date. 12oz to a snifter
Pours dark red with a finger of pink foam that receded pretty quickly. Almost no transparency and pretty decent lacing. Smells of raspberry, wheat malts, sugar, and a touch of alcohol. Taste is on the nose, sweet raspberry with a subtle malt. Mouth is a nice tingle, alcohol well concealed. Overall this is a pretty simple beer, not the best or worst, I was hoping for more sour though. Worth a try if you're into mild framboise

I really only like to mix it with Young's Double Chocolate Stout. It is a fantastic combination! It does taste pretty good by itself but I prefer beers that tend to not be as sweet. I have also heard of it being mixed with different ciders and being called a "Hummingbird." this I have yet to try.

look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4 | overall: 3.75
poured from the 35.5 cl green bottle into a flute glass.
A - Pours a deep raspberry red with plenty of fizzy carbonation rising to the rocky, two-finger, Hello Kitty pink head. Head stays intact al the way down the glass and leaves behind tons of lacing.
S - A fair amount of sourness and tons of raspberries upon literally uncorking the bottle. A little bit like a flavored cider and champagne mixed together. This is one of the most potent smelling beers I have sampled.
T - Rasberries upfront. The body is dominated by tangy/tart raspberry notes reminiscent of the flavored ciders my parents used to give us as kids but with some sugary sour patch kids added to the mix. More sourness as the beer passes over the back of the tongue transitions into a a sour raspberry finish, reminiscent of the raspberry warhead candy ones all the really sour powder is gone.
M - Champaign-like: light bodied with plenty of carbonation. I assume this is the standard for the style.
For the 200th unique beer i've reviewed, I wanted to go with something completely different from what I am used to and this ubiquitous fruit Lambic certainly met the criteria. As this is my first go with the style, my scores are somewhat arbitrary. The whole concoction on the surface really reminds me of a flavored cider or sparkling wine, but with much more tartness. This is nothing at all like any other beer I have tried, and I would have to be in a certain mood to go for all these sweet and sour notes over the bitter and roasted notes found in traditional beers: all the well as this beer is ridiculously expensive ($6 for the bottle). I'm going to save some for my wife to see if I've finally found a beer she enjoys.

A- poured into a wine glass; dark and hazy ruby-plum color with a fizzy light pink head and carbonation bubbles running up the sides of the glass
S- bright raspberry jam, sugared raspberry and fresh raspberry juice. Plain and simple yet very intriguing
T- tart, astringent raspberry is the first flavors experienced, almost a puckering sensation. The raspberry flavors are fresh and authentic, reminiscent of raspberry jam and sugar coated fresh raspberries, the finish is fruity-yet-dry and very tart
M- light-medium body, spritzy carbonation leads to a foamy mouthfeel and a smooth finish
O- the aromas and flavors are spectacular, the only downside is the extreme astringent tartness. This is one to be shared as it would be hard to drink a whole bottle alone

T- juicy fresh raspberries up front, nice and sour. No hop flavors present, moderately sweet. A slight saison or farmhouse ale funk is present. Almost tastes like a juice rather than a beer.
M- lightly carbonated, SOUR.
O- Not bad for my first Lambic experience. It was exactly what I was expecting and I am hoping to dive a little deeper into the lambic/sour genre .

750 ml (1 pint 9 oz.) bottle, with no apparent bottling information. My second lambic from Brouwerij Lindemans. Uncapped, uncorked, and poured into a Firestone Walker pint glass.
A - Fairly aggressive pour yields two fingers of beautiful pink fluffy head on top of a lovely dark ruby red colored body with some purple hues to it. Looks pretty enticing.
S - Smell is of tart raspberries, some soda pop like carbonation, a little bit of funky yeast / bacteria smell, and some must.
T - Fruity berry tartness with a touch of Belgian yeast / bacteria funk. Tastes exactly like what I was hoping for with this one. Lively level of carbonation, with a puckering sour finish. Does not taste too sweet or sugary, in my opinion.
M - Feel is sweet and sour. A smooth fruity finish. Like dessert in a glass.
Overall, a nice lambic. Enjoyable sourness, and delicious natural raspberry taste. The only thing disappointing is, again, this beer's lame 2.50% abv level. I have a hard time justifying buying a ten dollar bottle of beer when it has virtually hardly any alcohol in it at all, but it tastes so damn good I almost don't care.

look: 4 | smell: 3.75 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.75
A: Pours a dark ruby red in color with some light to moderate amounts of visible carbonation and some garnet red highlights. The beer has a three finger tall foamy pink head that reduces to a thin film covering the entire surface of the beer with a slightly thicker ring at the edges of the glass. Moderate amounts of lacing are observed.
S: Moderate to strong aromas of sweet raspberries - a light amount of artificial sweetener as well.
T: Moderate to strong flavors of sweet raspberries with some added sugar/sweetener. Just a hint of sourness in the finish.
M: Light bodied with heavy amounts of carbonation. Slightly syrupy due to the sweetness.
O: Very easy to drink but a touch sweeter than I prefer my fruit lambic, there is definitely added sugar or sweetener to this beer. The super low ABV and sweetness make this beer a good candidate to pair with a lighter dessert like a key lime pie.

Pours a dark red with hints of purple and forms a large foamy purple/pink tinted head.
Smells of tart raspberries, raspberry jam.
First sip brings some tart raspberry flavor followed up by a lot of sweet raspberry flavor. Finishes clean and sweet with an ever so slight lingering tartness once the sweetness fades.
There isn't really too much to say here - a lot of raspberries!
Really hit the spot as I was craving something sweet. Were I craving any of the more typical beer flavors...then ehhhh not so much. With that said I do like my fruity lambics and this is a delectable one.

M- Tangy and sweet, yet wine-like dryness on the end. The body is good and the carbonation, to me, is there. It could use some more alcohol for balance, but that's picky.
O- I do not like raspberry flavoring one bit so I was as objective as possible. I tried something out of my comfort zone and it went okay.

750 mL bottle poured into a tulip glass.
Appearance: Pours a cloudy blood red color with a one-inch pink head. Leaves a pink lacing down the glass
Smell: Straight raspberries. Like a bushel of raspberries. A little bit of acidity, and then more raspberries. Not a whole lot of complexity, but luckily I just so happen to love raspberries.
Taste: Guess what? There's a ton of raspberry. Shocker. The tartness is much more pronounced, which adds another layer of complexity. But once again, raspberry absolutely dominates. There's definitely a lot of sweetness as well, to the point where it actually overpowers the tartness, and the beer finishes very sweet.
Mouthfeel: Suprisingly thick, with a decent amount of acidity.
Overall: For what it is - a sweet, tart explosion of raspberries - it's actually quite good. Just don't go in expecting a more traditional lambic experience.

Had this on tap at Duckworth's in Charlotte.
Came out a dark ruby red with a small pinkish cap of foam on top. Really sweet nose, with raspberry, lemon, strawberry, and slight astringent smack on the finish. Crisp, bubbly, easy to drink. A delicate feel is nice here given the low ABV.
Sweet juicy raspberries, tart strawberry, with a touch of acetic tartness on the finish. Like a jar of fresh jam. This isn't a beer for everyone, nor is it an everyday beer, but I really liked it. Next to NG's Raspberry Tart, this may be my favorite Raspberry-forward beer to date. A good one for celebrations and one tailor-made for desserts.

This beer tastes like a $10 rasberry wine cooler AND got me beat up. But that is what I expected. So. OMG. SO good!!! The appearance was like a pinkish red beer. Smelled like rasberry. Tasted like the aforementioned wine cooler. Clean sweet finish. Felt so refreshing in my mouthfeel. Overall I would give it a 10 if I could. Best rasberry flemish beer I have EVER had!

Ordered this at the Yardhouse in Hallandale, Florida - Gulfstream location. It was very similar to another framboise (Saint Louise?) I've sampled. However, it had a bit of an after taste that was more bitter than I expected or wanted.
Overall would drink again.

355ml bottle
Served in a flute glass
A - I was expecting it to be red from what I remembered of it, but it was more of a reddish brown. A generous pink foam rides on top.
S - It smells like raspberry puree.
T - I get loads of raspberries. Some sourness comes through. It's like a sour raspberry candy. The sourness grows with each sip. I start to notice some funk after a while.
M - Medium
O - This beer has some intense flavor. It is an enjoyable change of pace, but I don't think that I could have more than one in a sitting. This is a style that I need a bigger sample size to more accurately judge.

Poured into a fluted glass
A: Opaque raspberry with a cherry half finger head that lingers. Nice lacing.
S: Those raspberries pop through with just a hint of wheat.
T: Tart, sweet. Like sucking on a raspberry Sweet tart. Dee-licious. A slow sipper that is more like drinking a liqueur.
M: Medium, low carbonation. A dry finish.
O: This was my birthday beer. I'd had a sample at a beer show a while back and fell in love with the taste. Would love to graduate up to sours now.

Poured into the brewery's trademark flute glass from a 12oz bottle. No freshness date, sadly, as most Lambic beers I have tend to have at least the bottling date so as to help give any indication how it's been developing in the container. It seems all beers made by Lindemans that are imported into the US have this packaging quirk.
Pours a dark velvet-like reddish color, complete with hues of brown and purple that seem to glimmer in and out in the light. The head is a remarkably brightened pink hue, complete with an enormous 4-finger head that eventually settles down, yet, due to the glass, never fully goes away. The foaminess sticked to the rims of the glass in a lovely manner, never really giving up no matter how much it warmed up. Bubbles gently glide to the top of the glass, but they are hard to find, partially due to the low ABV, yet especially due to the cloudiness. Some tiny black flecks of sediment float back and forth. Alas, it is impossible to see the other side of the glass when placed against the light, but it does bright up to give the impression of raspberry purée!
Right at the front of the nose, there's strong aromas resembling raspberries, although on a far more tarty side than anything else, or jammy to say the very least. The initial fruit phenols are replaced by a sour strain of sorts, which smells slightly wild yet mellow at the same time when blended with the fruits. The raspberries return soon after, but there's not much zest or booziness for that matter. Just large sugar-based notes, which halt from becoming too nauseating due to the sourness. Pretty pleasant overall, although there's indeed hardly any characteristics that remind me of beer!
The flavor and feel, on the other hand, are far more beer-like, save for the continuation of tartness caused by the fruit and crystallized sugar notes. When it's chilled, it's mainly a raspberry fest combined with slight sourness and a little bit of yeastiness. However, by the time this reaches room temperature, this becomes substantially more sour and wild, in an almost puckered kind of way if it weren't for all the sugar. Still can't make out too many of the wheat flavors, although there is a slight - and I mean *slight* - touch of brown malty notes that are dangling in there. Save for the consistency, this has a body more resembling of cider, although the soured yeast reminds you quickly that you are, in fact, consuming a beer. Can't make out any bittered hoppy notes, nor alcohol for that matter. I could chug this thing if I didn't care about flavored beers or Lambics, but luckily I do so I'm enjoying watching the flavor shift.
A pretty solid way to introduce people to Lambics, or even educate people how diverse of a process brewing can be around the world. I enjoy sipping this respectfully (especially as a digestif after a meal), as well as seeing how this changes under room temperature. By far not at all in the same league as, say, Cantillon's or Drie Fonteinen's Lambics, but still delightful, and definitely more crowd pleasing.

We pop the cap and cork and pour a brew of muddy pale maroon. It holds a brief half finger tall head of pink rose colored bubbles. Rings of lacing appear, but only when the beer starts to disappear. There is a definite haze about it, with light flecks of sediment suspended towards the bottom of the glass. Carbonation appears moderate. The aroma smells of raspberry sorbet mixed with raw raspberry jam, seeds and all. This gives a palpable heaviness to the sweetness that generally overpowers the light malty base. With warmth comes a thick irony vibe, reminding us of the smell of blood. Light plastic phenols also come out, along with a metallic yeastiness. Our first impression is that this beer is definitely nicely tart, with an equally as robust presentation of the base fruitiness of raspberries. As we sip, the flavoring opens with tart raspberry flavoring, tart Smarties candy bite, fermented raspberries, metallic tin, sugary sweet fruit juiciness, and a lighter pale malt. At the peak of the swallow we get more sweetness, but here it is of candied raspberries and white sugariness. This effectively cuts the soured bite until the finishing wash where it comes back in full, along with genuine raspberry juiciness, coiny yeast, saltiness, tea leafiness, and the soured pucker of raspberry seeds. The aftertaste breathes of more malt than anywhere else in the flavoring, bitter fermented raspberries, green grassiness, seed, and astringent yeasty slickness. The body is medium, and the carbonation is medium, but with a good foam when swirled around the mouth. There is an initial juicy coating and syrupiness, but the mouth is ultimate dried, puckered, and popped. The abv is appropriate, and the beer drinks nicely.
Overall, what we enjoyed most about this brew was the flavoring. The fact that real raspberries were added to the mix was very apparent, making for a leafy, organic vibe, and a gritty realness. The nose, on the other hand, was very heavy with a strange syrupy sweetness that had real notes to it, but made for a strange overall blend. Either way, this beer drinks nicely and tastily, and is as good as you would expect from any Lindemans product.

Rick Springfield, another "GH" viewer favorite whose most recent appearance on the series was last year, reprises his role as Noah Drake starting in April. A welcome surprise is that Springfield's real-life son, Liam Springthorpe (Rick's real surname), will debut on "GH" as an undercover police officer.

How to Keep Pakistan from Descending into Chaos
The eruption of democratic defiance among Arabs has discredited neoconservatives and al-Qaeda alike, shattering their shared assumption that Muslims need violent prodding to reclaim their dignity. In 10 weeks of protests, Tunisians and Egyptians achieved for themselves what 10 years of bloodshed could not purchase for Pax Americana or its archenemy in Iraq or Afghanistan: a spirit of solidarity among millions -- secularists, mainstream Islamists, young men, old women -- eager to rebuild their countries.
U.S. policymakers should learn from these events that the Muslim impulse for modernity and freedom is hindered, not helped, by Western military intervention. And they should learn soon. The U.S. "Af-Pak" war is accelerating the self-destruction of the world's second largest, and only nuclear, Muslim country.
Murder and Blasphemy
Pakistan's lurch toward the abyss is exemplified by the recent murders of two politicians: Salman Taseer, a secularist killed in January, and Shahbaz Bhatti, a Christian killed in early March. Opposition to the ruling party's proposed changes of the blasphemy law underlay the attacks. The law, created in the 1980s by Pakistan's military dictator Zia-ul-Haq and later criticized by the United States, was aimed at fostering Wahhabism amid the U.S.-backed "jihad" in Afghanistan.
Consistent with Wahhabi dogma, the blasphemy law reflects the opposite of what the Prophet Muhammad preached. Whereas Muhammad spared the lives of people who tried to poison, starve, and even kill him, the blasphemy law prescribes death for anyone who makes "derogatory" remarks about the Prophet. And whereas the Qur'an explicitly acknowledges the validity of other faiths and decrees that acceptance of Islam is a choice, Pakistan's extremists target Muslim "heretics" and non-Muslims for destruction.
More troubling than the murders is the soft support for -- if not outright approval of -- the law among the Pakistani public. Lawyers, once hailed by Western media as heroes of Pakistani liberalism, raucously supported the alleged murderer of Taseer. The killer had been inspired by one of the many religious leaders who had railed against changes to the law in protests that drew tens of thousands.
Amid the backlash, Pakistan's fragile prime minister abandoned the proposed amendments. That did not appease extremists, who then killed Bhatti, the only Christian cabinet member, also for opposing the blasphemy law.
Fearing Psychosis or the Taliban
Following that attack, a columnist in Pakistan's largest English daily opined that extremists had little to fear: "Because who are they afraid of? Not the state, not the government, not the law. All three have simply capitulated in front of the psychosis that is ever so often being presented to us through TV talk shows, mosques and cyber space as the 'true faith.'"
But why has this "psychosis" taken root in a country home to Sufism, Islam's mystical branch? Pro-Taliban political parties fared poorly in 2008 national and provincial elections. Even in the tribal north, they received little support. And in a late 2009 poll, national support for the Taliban registered at a dismal four percent after the group launched attacks against civilians.
The answer lies not in any one feature of Pakistani society, but rather in frustration with a war that has stretched the weak strands of that society to a breaking point.
One of those strands is the Pakistani military's support for the Taliban. Its justification -- creating " strategic depth" against India -- seems absurd, as it is the radicals who have achieved strategic depth inside Pakistan. But this policy, crafted by Zia's military regime, went unchallenged because of another national weakness: Pakistan's democracy.
Benazir Bhutto, the former two-term prime minister killed by extremists in 2008, confided to writer Tariq Ali during her first term in 1988 that she was "powerless" against the military. Her own father, Prime Minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, was hung by Zia in 1979.

Save a Life This Spring
People in crisis generally don't have the energy or ability to take on a long search for help. Please lend a hand to those around you who may be suffering in silence find the help they need within seconds.
How often do we see big dramatic ends to blogs, declarations of account deletions, mass unfollowings on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.? I'm not sure what anyone gains out of these posts and statements other than attention. Personally, I find a pie in the face works just as well! All jokes aside, I know some folks enjoy the discussion, but I don't. It's a waste of my bandwidth, and in the case of social networks, these declarations seem to cause more drama than anything else. People don't need to justify pulling the plug on anything online. How anyone chooses to invest their time is a personal choice! Geoff Livingston on Google+

I have a List of two-dimensional float arrays:
List<float[,]> nodes = new List<float[,]>();
I do some things and finally get an zerobased index of the float[,] which I want to use (e.g. 2 for the third array)
Now I want to get a value out of this array. I thought it might work like
float foo = nodes[selectedIndex][0,0]
to get me the element [0,0] in the array at nodes[selectedIndex]. What shall I say? Doesn't work. Just works over
float[,] tmp = nodes[selectedIndex];
float foo = tmp[0,0];
So as far as I understand I need to allocate memory twice for the array (once in the List, once in tmp) just to get ONE value. That can't be it, I hope?! Isn't there a shortcut to get to this value?
Hope you can help me!

Dallas Cowboys: 5 Moves the Cowboys Must Make in the Offseason
By Michael Dunham ,
After an extremely poorly-played loss to the New York Giants knocked the Dallas Cowboys out of postseason contention, the Cowboys enter the offseason with a number of changes to make if they hope to make the postseason next year.
The Cowboys entered Week 12 of the NFL season 7-4 and all signs pointed to playoffs, but Dallas went a measly 1-4 to finish off the season and exposed a bunch of holes in the team in the process.
Here is a list of the five biggest changes the Boys must make.
With a six-year, $50.2 million contract, Newman is the second highest-paid cornerback in the league.
What did the Cowboys get for the $10 million they wasted on him in 2011?
His four interceptions put him tied for 12th in the league, and cost Jerry $2.5 million per pick
His eight passes defended have him tied for 81st; his total is one-fourth that of Seattle's Brandon Browner.
Newman used to be one of the top corners in the league, but after a few years of being banged up off and on, he has lost a step of his formerly blazing speed and is being beaten far too often.
In Lee's second year in the NFL, he led the Cowboys in tackles, recording 105 on the season. To go along with all those tackles, Lee also had four interceptions, the most of any linebacker in the league and tied for the most on the team.
By the way, Lee also did all of this in a season in which he broke his hand, missing one game and playing part of the season with a cast on his hand.
I would not be surprised if we saw Lee in next year's Pro Bowl.
This kid is a fighter—something the Cowboys have very few of—and the Cowboys need to lock him up long-term and make sure they do not lose him.
The biggest weakness for the Cowboys in 2011 was their secondary. The Cowboys ranked 23rd in the league in passing defense, which is unacceptable for a team that wants to make the playoffs.
The Cowboys will have the 19th overall pick in the draft; some names you could hear the Boys calling out in April include:
Dre Kirkpatrick, out of Alabama, is a big, physical cornerback, standing at 6'3". Kirkpatrick is also fast, running a 4.4 forty time. Kirkpatrick is a Top 20 prospect, and if he falls to the Cowboys, you can expect them to take him.
Alfonzo Dennard, out of Nebraska, has all of the tools to be a great cornerback—except one. The only thing that GM's worry about when it comes to Dennard is his size. He is only 5'10", which will make it difficult when it comes to defending the bigger receivers the NFL has to offer.
Mark Barron, out of Alabama, is a hard-hitting safety with great coverage ability. He is likely the least appealing option out of the three, but is still a definite possibility and would be a great addition.
Free is making $8 million a year to consistently under-perform and get flagged almost as much as anyone in the league.
Free committed 10 penalties in 2011—five false starts and five holding calls. It is inexcusable for the starting left tackle to be committing false start penalties in a completely silent home stadium, which is a sign of an undisciplined football player.
If the Cowboys do get rid of Free, they cannot try to replace him by putting someone they already have at left tackle. Their two options are to draft someone or sign a big-money free agent.
If the Cowboys were going to draft an offensive lineman of quality, they would likely have to trade up for someone like Jonathan Martin out of Stanford or Reilly Reiff out of Iowa.
A better idea would be to use the first-round pick on a cornerback or safety, then use a second or third on a lineman you can develop—and go out and get a proven tackle for the now.
The best option the Cowboys will have to look at this offseason is Demetrius Bell out of Buffalo. Bell has been the anchor for the Bills' line. If the Bills cannot sign him to a deal before free agency, the Cowboys should throw big money at him.
The Cowboys' biggest needs to address are the offensive line and the secondary. Those areas will be top priorities for the Cowboys in 2011. Some other changes you can expect the Cowboys to make are:
Sign a backup QB: During the times that Romo has had to leave a game, Stephen McGee has made it very clear that he is not an NFL-caliber quarterback. If Romo were to go down for an extended period of time, McGee would hurt the team tremendously.
Release Martellus Bennett: Bennett has all of the qualities you look for in a tight end, but it has not clicked for him in the NFL. Bennett had only 17 receptions for 144 yards this season and was surpassed by John Phillips on the depth chart.
Hire a real general manager: Just kidding, but a boy can still dream, right?

Coffee is important to many of us, but let's say your coffee maker breaks. Finding a new one is as easy as typing "shop coffee maker" into your browser. Voila — you've got models, prices and customer reviews at your fingertips.
But say you need something less fun than a coffee maker — like a colonoscopy. Shopping for one of those is a lot harder. Actual prices for the procedure are almost impossible to find, and Bob Kershner says there's huge variation in cost from one clinic to the next.

The countries that send large contingents to the Olympics love to watch the "medal count" tally. But as of late Tuesday at the Sochi Winter Games, the countries with the most medals didn't have the most gold medals. That's why by some counts, Germany and Norway were leading the way, while the Netherlands, U.S. and Russia all trailed.
The second-in-command at the Justice Department met Tuesday with defense lawyers and interest groups to identify the cases of worthy prisoners who could qualify for clemency.

A few years ago, Missouri, like other states, was having trouble finding lethal execution drugs. Europe was balking, and U.S. drug manufacturers didn't want a part of it.
So Missouri turned to a place called a compounding pharmacy to make up the needed drugs based on the ingredients. Missouri officials sent an employee to a place called The Apothecary Shoppe in Oklahoma, with thousands of dollars in cash.
Last week, George Lombardi, director of Missouri's Department of Corrections, explained to lawmakers why his employees had to go to such lengths.

Whatever you already believed about raising the federal minimum wage, you now have more ammo for your argument, thanks to a report released Tuesday by the Congressional Budget Office, titled "The Effects of a Minimum-Wage Increase on Employment and Family Income."
Yes, you're right: Raising the wage in steps to $10.10 an hour by 2016 would push employers to cut jobs — about 500,000 of them, says the CBO, the nonpartisan research arm of Congress.
Justice Antonin Scalia and Jon Stewart, host of The Daily Show With Jon Stewart on Comedy Central, are, gasp, in agreement!
Both have rendered scorching opinions on a major national controversy — pizza. Specifically, Chicago-style, deep-dish pizza.
House Democrats know they can run but can't hide from Republican attacks on the Affordable Care Act.

Buying a light bulb used to be a no-brainer. Now it's a brain teaser; the transition to more energy-efficient lighting means choosing from a dazzling array of products.
We've long identified bulbs by their wattage, but that is actually a measure of electricity, not the brightness of a bulb. The amount of light a bulb generates is measured in lumens.
The United Auto Workers Union suffered a major defeat when a drive to represent workers at a Volkswagen plant in Tennessee failed last week. Right now, leaders of the AFL-CIO are holding their winter meetings in Houston and that VW vote is a major topic.
NPR national political correspondent Don Gonyea has more.

A new report out this afternoon poured some gasoline on the already raging debate over whether to raise the minimum wage. The report from the Congressional Budget Office says boosting the federal minimum to $10.10 an hour, as President Obama has proposed, would lift 900,000 people out of poverty. But it would also cost about half-a-million jobs.
