Cork and caged 75cl bottle, opened on 1st Dec 2013.
Expected a darker hue to this brew, it poured a clear deep gold with a full if un-lasting head.
The nose was spiced nuts and sweet malty molasses with good old Belgian yeast esters.
The taste followed the same lines, malty, nutty and yeasty with hints of spices within the flavourings.
OK and another Belgian Christmas beer worth finding.

330ml served in a Trappist glass.
A: Pours an orange to beige color. Very cloudy. Forms a big white fluffy head. Good retention. In fact, a small layer remains forever and many lacing are left in the glass
S: Very yeasty. Honey and sweet malts. A bit spicy too with hints of pepper
T: Sweet malts, honey and yeasts. Quite dry, in overall. A bit spicy and a good bitter end
M: Medium body and carbonation. Mild bitter aftertaste
O: Good drinkability. Quite dry and lacks sweetness and spiceness to a Belgian Triple. It lacks some orange zest too but, in any case, a Val-Dieu

11-12 season. Lucky opportunity to have run into a small, new beer store smack in the middle of paris (unfortunately, i lack both their address as their name, but can suggest simply walking some 200m east of the sous-bock, along the rue st.honorė).
Pour is an interesting hue i must claim never to have seen. It's mostly tending towards a deep, reddish tone, sort of that of ripe watermelon.
Smell is strong, and spicy. Dominated by an astringent half zesty feel. No sweetness to it. A slight alcoholised feel.
Taste is a bit bland. Feels a bit watery but very grapefriuit like bitterness throughout. Grainy thereafter. Not sweet, but never overwhelming bitterness. There's a very mould yessty feel to it, much à la belge. Thin, slighly fizzy. Alcohol is nonetheless well hidden.
Overall a nice beer, but not extraordinary. Not the best of noëls, but not too shabby.

On tap at Het Elfde Gebod, Amsterdam.
Pours amber gold with piles of sticky white froth (thanks in part, I'm sure, to the Dutch foam-heavy style of pouring) leaving columns of lace. Wax and thick honey nose.
Tart green fig, starfruit, and a grainy sourness up front, a stewed plum hit in the middle, with grass and spice hops fighting it out in the finish. Tingly warm spice finish with plenty of yellow plum jam sweetness and a tight clovey linger that lasts 3 days.
Medium, some stick, creamy, no heat.
Complex, with Christmassy spice, but also light. And very drinkable for 7%.

33 cl. bottle of Christmas beer from Val-Dieu.
Colour light brown, murky, with a nice white head, leaving good lacing in my Chimay glass.
Smell and taste are balanced with malty sweetness, some floral hops, a bit of spicyness too.
Aftertaste is very mellow: this beer goes down very easy. The sediment seems to give it a bit more bite towards the end, though.
A good and decent brew.

The 2nd beer on my 2008-9 Belgian Winter Ale tasting "panel". Coming in a 330ml short brown bottle, BB 02/10/09; served lightly chilled in Gulden Draak's tulip-shaped sniffer.
A: cloudy dark purple-brown in colour, coming with abundant fizziness and a well-lasting thick layer of beige froth. Looking healthy and yeasty~~
S: delicious mashed red beans, dark candy sugar and bready+nutty malts upfront, set against a richly aromatic, estery background where spicy-coriander yeasts and less assertive figs are underlined by a refreshing touch of Golding-hop-like fruitiness. A closer sniff would reveal a rather old-ish aroma, almost like a left-over cup of prune-tea with a rustic nail in it...! Overall, beautifully estery, malty and simultaneously balanced due to a decent level of sourness.
T: a slightly alcoholic yet softly effervescent swallow comes with an assertive estery+spicy flavour, featuring sweet red-bean soup (i.e. red beans infused in water), dark sugar, sweet black tea, fig cake with a milder hint of sweet prunes... turning moderate in the finish, herbally bitter-sweet and never cloying, bitter or yeasty - one'd say harmonious while another'd say mundane (well, take your pick).
M&D: the main flavour profile remains lightly sweet and estery, all in all this is an approachable malty and fruity brew, with a rather merciful influence of yeasts and a profile firmly in line with Belgian amber ales. Well-made, softly carbonated, but there's something missing overall... (Can't agree that this is a Tripel though, as the hop level and dry palate are quite restrained.)

330ml bottle bought from BelgianShop.com... aged for about 18 months...
Poured a deep golden orange colour. Creamy head poured pretty tight, thick and foamy then faded slowly to decent wispy covering... sporadic carbonation drifts slowly to the surface... good amount of patchy lacing...
Aroma - Spicy Belgian yeasty / bready notes, lots of rich alcohol soaked dried fruits and peel (apricots, figs, apples, oranges, some raisin), toasted malt loaf, rich roasted nutty sweetness, candy sugar, anise traces, medicinal hints, some burnt butter, lots of grassy / peppery notes, some light oakiness....
Taste Lots of toasted breadiness mixed with dried fruit sweetness (raisins, peach, figs, oranges and apples), pretty yeasty, some caramel, warming alcohol is pretty noticeable, some black pepper and cinnamon spiciness, definite aniseed, lots of roasted malts, pear drops, light grassy hops, some saltiness...
Feel - Pretty sharp and dry... medium body... dangerously drinkable at 7%...
Overall - A very good (if not overly festive) tripel... well worth a try...

Pfff, I am getting soooo fed up with these so called Belgian Christmas brews, which contain way too much sugar and are the normal dark beer with an extra 25% sugar added. This doesn't add anyting to the beer in complexity or taste, just alcohol. After the St. Feuillien and Delirium Christmas beers I am really disappointed.
What other people taste as being green apples is just a normal cider-like taste, caused by adding way too much sugar. Try to ferment 2 pounds of sugar with a beeryeast and you will get your green apples. Not only does this ruin the taste, but the body becomes very thin and balance is totally gone.
So let's review the Val Dieu biere de Nöel:
Appearance is amber colored with lots of carbonation and a 2 inch thick head.
Smell is green apples and estery with some slight oxidized notes and moderate alcohol smell.
Taste is slightly caramel with the green apples again. The slight oxidation in the smell also comes through in the taste. Mouthfeel is very thin and reminds me of my early days of homebrewing when I tried to make as much alcohol as possible. The lack of balance is very striking and overrules any other potential taste, which is drawn to the background.

Clear, smoked amber appearance, with a nice snowy white head. Lookin' good.
Nice, fruity aroma, apples and cherries, white grapes, lemon and melon...
Taste: yum, big, bright, dark fruits and some spice. Fairly clean, zippy, refreshing. Medium bodied, very malty, little hops, well-hid alcohol...
Only drawback may be the sweet malty flavor isn't leavened much, and could be too much in one sitting for some. But that's the point of holiday/winter brews, isn't it, a little indulgence?
Very tasty, and good for sharing, ...and little ol' me, I got the whole bottle all to my lonesome...burp...it'll be a good night...

330 ml brown bottle, now available in Norway (Vinmonopolet, bestillingsutvalget). ABV is 7%. Hazy brown colour, huge head. Okay fruity aroma (orange peel and dark fruits) with notes of spices and oak. Flavour is moderately spicy and fruity with a fairly soft mouthfeel. Not the most complex Belgian Ive had, but decent enough. Over-priced in Norway, though.

A nice light toffee ambered brown color thats fairly clear fills the goblet with some slow but always active streams of bubbles. A small/mediumish, yet firmly smoothed and compacted capping of slightly tanned and grayed foam sits atop with good length. Tons of lacing coats the glass with lots of powdery spots and a glaze of frosty sheeting.
Aroma is mild yet well fitting within a malt laden nose that resembles most bock-type smells. Toffee, plum, dried apricot, and fig dance lightly, with a dash of bakery spice, but with a clean, approachable roundedness thats sweetened and deep.
Flavors are much like the nose. A nicely played out mildness in tone of malts that gather in a rounded fruity, darkened sweetness with some nice notions to peach, apricot, and plum surrounded but a tender toffee undertow. Slightly spicy in a few areas that speak of vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar develope as it finishes. some nice little sticky areas remain in the sweet toffeeish malts.
Feel is very creamy and smooth with a fullish medium body of silken maltyness that glides down with amazing ease throughout each sip. Just the right amount of carbonation grab hits the front and middle. Nice and lengthy with a semi chewy body that really sticks the malts on the palate and memory. Especially in the finish. The cinnamom and vanilla spice make for a nice delight as the malts soak in. Very creamy and drinkable as the lower 7% for a Tripel makes this nearly effortless to put back.
A beautifully made beer that nurtures and cares for your palate with a yummy, rounded, delicate, smooth, creamy, maltyness which endures the likes of its own presense in the mind as well as the palate. You then ponder how they can make such a lovely beer. Solidly delish!

Pour: 750ml bottle to tulip glass. 2.5 finger thick white head that sticks to the glass as it smoothes out into excellent lacings. The body has lots of very tiny bubbles along the edge of the glass. The beer is light brown / dark orange in color.
Nose: Has a strong sour, hoppy scent to it, but some other characteristics poke through: some pine, a sour berry (cranberry or raspberry), and possibly some allspice. A little on the faint side, but has some interesting qualities.
Mouth: The beer enters with a strong carbonation that softens to a gentle cream feel, bringing along some flavors that one might associate with that creaminess: some sweet malts and a hint of vanilla. There's a touch of a bready feel all the way in the back, fruity and chewy, and a pinch of warmth added by the alcohol. Has a lasting sweet flavor with notes of bananas, a touch of cranberry, and some yeasty spiciness. The flavor does not match up with the smell, but in this instance I can't say that I'm disappointed!

Served from a 33 cl bottle. This boy has been aging in my cellar for about 2 years now and thought that spring time was a good time to try it. The beer poured a golden amber color with a nice thick, bubbly white head with great lacing. The aroma is sweet, lemony, a bit peppery and definite tones of Belgian yeast. Very pleasing. The taste is equally nice. The taste is sweet and refreshing a bit toasted. With a light to medium body, this beer is deceivingly good at 7% abv. Merry Chirstmas!

When I think of a Tripel, this isn't the kind of thing that comes to mind, but it's a good one nevertheless.
I bought this because it was from the 2004/2005 winter release. Cork said 10/04. That's either a bad thing (didn't sell because it sucks) or a good thing (a fine, aged, vintage holiday ale). Luckily it was good enough to justify the purchase. (There's more where this came from, if anyone's interested in an aged bomber of this.)
Poured a super-creamy head atop a caramel-brown body. Moderate carbonation with lots of bubbles. LOTS of lace: thick honeycomb walls formed while the beer gradually left the glass.
Had a very grassy smell, accented by hints of raisin and caramel.
Tasted of soft alcohol, dark fruits, caramel and toffee. The creamy mouthfeel thinned a little as it held in the mouth, and there was a dryness after the swallow.
This has all the warming and fruity characteristics of any good holiday ale, and would be good drinking year-round.

Bottle: Poured a medium amber color ale with a huge foamy head with great retention. Aroma of cinnamon and pepper with some distinctive Belgian yeast. Taste is quite sweet with a good malt presence and a well mix balance of spices. Body is above average but a good creamy texture. Nothing extraordinary but good example of the style.

750ml bottle with the cork dated 10/04, poured into a Leffe goblet.
This beer was absolutely beautiful in glass. A clear amber, highly carbonated with small bubbles. A very thick, light brown fluffy head that doesn't go away. Wonderful lacing.
The aroma is sweet, perfumy with a spicy plum smell. Quite clean aroma.
The taste was harder to figure. Somewhat winy with a tart blast throughout. Very tangy aftertaste with some curious herbal notes. Reminded me of Thanksgiving herbs. Not what I was expecting and not what I would want.
The mouthfeel was light, so highly carbonated that it was actually stinging my tongue. Overall, this was a good beer and I would certainly be willing to have another. Certainly not the best tripel, but a nice curiosity.

Corked and caged 750 poured into a Val-Dieu chalice. No dates on the label, but the cork has 09/05 printed on it towards the top. Lots of loose, chunky sediment on the bottom and the cork shot like a rocket once the cage was unwound.
Light, hazy amber with a tall white head that coats the glas as it goes down.
Bananas, spices, sugars, and a light citric aroma. Nice.
The taste is a nice combination of dry hops, earthy malt, spice (coriander?), sugar, clove like yeast a dash of lemon zest, and green pepper. It comes off more as a standard, but good, tripple that has a touch of holiday inspired spice.
Nice full mouth upfront that fades into citric tang paired with prickly carbonation. The low, for a tripple, abv makes for a very drinkable version of the style.

A clean dark amber/copper colored beer, which gets hazier into the bottle. Has a huge creamy off white head that leaves all kinds of lace. The aroma has a light dried friut note with some apple sweetness. The flavor is also VERY light with some hints of fruit sweetness and a glimmer of a tabbacco bitterness on the finish.

A knock-out gorgeous white head with bubbles and lace, like a frothy vanilla milkshake. Creamy. The winner by drinkability in a 4-way playoff of x-mas beers on March 25. On sweet side, but just couldn't get enough of it. Malt magic fresh from Belgium.

2003 Vintage 750 ml bottle, drank in the Christmas season of 2004.
I had the coolest experience opening this bottle- one I've never seen. I took off the cage, and just watched as the pressure in the bottle slowly pushed the cork up and out of the bottle- went flying several fet. I've had gunshot openings, but this was in slow motion. Very fun.
Pours a darkish golden with a pretty medium off-white head. Unfortunately, the appearance was the best part of this beer.
Aroma was light, slightly sweet with notes of honey, dates vanilla, perhaps some berry. Spices of a Noel? maybe present, but not obvious.
Oddly enough, the flavor is like a mellow tripel- sharp, tart, full-flavored with no rough edges. The alcohol profile was a little to much on the back end. However, the beer lest a very strange chemical residue in my mouth that got progressively worse as I drank this beer (shared with my sister). Stale hops? Because of this, I started out liking the flavor, but it got worse as the bottle emptied.
At the end of the day, I decided I didn't care for it.

02/02/05- Purchased at Plumpjack Wines in San Francisco, CA
Presentation- 750ml bottle corked and caged. No expiration date. Poured three times into my La Chouffe tulip glass.
Appearance- Huge chunky and billowy white head, dark golden coloring and about the thickest lacing I have seen in a beer.
Smell- Semi-sweet aromas of raisins, plums, dates, apricots and peppery spices.
Taste- Nice sweetness for a 7% beer. Quite tangy, fruity and lots of pepper spice flavor.
Mouthfeel- This puppy is ultra-ultra carbonated. About the same lines as Duvel. It took me a long time, in fact I am still sucking down the last 4 ounces or so. My stomach doesn't do to well with well carbonated things. I drank 1 1/2 tulips and rested the remaining on the counter for an hour and it settled down significantly. Much more drinkable now..for me at least. The flavors come out much more after two hours of breathing.
Drinkability- A pretty tasty tripel. As long as you let it mellow out a bit first. Probably a one time try for me, but I'm glad I tried it. Recommended....for those with iron guts!

2002. Pours a bronze/light amber color with an immense, long lasting light beige head. Excellent fluffy lacing. The nose is very fruity (pear, apple) and there is a honey-like appeal to the malt, very faint spicing. Slightly sweet and yeasty at first, but the fruitiness soon takes over and leaves the palate open for the light dryness and hoppiness in the finish. Quite nice. Not as strong as other tripels, and it shows in the lighter mouthfeel. Nonetheless, it is a very nice winter beer that I'll have to try again, only a fresher bottle.

Murky amber hue. Huge spectacular frothy white head, sticking to the glass, long-lasting. Spicy aroma with a ton of nuances at times approaching cloves, christmas cake, anise or ginger). Highly yeasty, minty, fruity (peaches, orange, apricot). Mild hop presence even. I love how this accomplishes a lot with low alcohol. Very fruity palate, almost vinous with apricot, melon and peach hints and close to as spicy as the nose. Very interesting mix, superbly tasy for 7%. Medium bodied, moderately high carbonation, almost foamy mouthfeel. Excellent execution imo, but there are better examples.

Presentation: I was lucky enough to visit the Brasserie de lAbbaye du Val-Dieu during our annual Easter Belgium Trip in 2001. At the time I do not believe that this was bottled, and if it was, it had all gone during our Easter visit. So when I spied a 750ml of the Val-Dieu Bière de Noël during a trip to Hi-Times in Costa-Mesa recently, I figured that I would give it a whirl, as $6.99 for the 75cl didnt seem too bad and I knew that their other beers were reasonably good. Just as the BA database picture, the main dark blue label is of a snow covered Abbaye in a suitable wintery scene. Caged and Corked, the Cork let fly with a massive resonating thrupp as soon as the gold colored cage was removed. The twisted and bent cork had been under some serious pressure, if you ever think that the cages are there for show, think again!! Cork is dated 10/05.
Appearance: Immense gun-smoke, almost canon-smoke, preceded the pour. Its a good job I was quick on my feet as the beer was already erupting up the tall bottle neck. Best served in a Goblet, but I opted for a tall thin flute, as I knew the high levels of carbonation would make this one awkward at times. A racing head forms quickly. Densely packed small creamy bubbles, bone-white, they slowly recede leaving a bone marrow collapsed crust. The body is a very clear classic-golden color with a decent amount of streamers. Looks excellent, hindered by the oversize head at times which probably means that it looses out on a 4.5 in the end.
Nose: Lots of nuzzling your way through the thick head is needed at times, because the thick massive covering does tend to mask the nice aromas that this Bière de Noël has to offer. Fight your through and it is worth it, even if you have to remove the froth from your own nose a few times! Spicy Tripel in style and aroma. Spicy hops, some pepper, but there is a nice fruit dimension also, some peach and apricots with a hint of plums and Kiwi fruit at times. Soiled yeasts and a real earthy dimension as the Noël warms. I wish the aromas had a little more strength and impcat though.
Taste: Spicy hop entrance, light but prickly black peppers. Yeasty middle with earthy tones that mix well with the hops and light grain malts. Has a very dry, almost crisp, finish with a lovely lingering hoppy feel that is mildy spicy on the cheeks. A peach and bitter cider-apple ending builds in strength as you work your way down the bottle and your cheeks acclimatize to the tangy bitterness. A Golden-Tripel with just that bit extra! Rather fruity at times. Nice.
Mouthfeel: Full-bodied with a stern contribution from the alcohol that is not overpowering but never lets you forget that this is 7%. Despite the high carbonation, this is a smooth beer that sits well in the mouth.
Drinkability: Only the continual top-up of the over-carbonated beer in my glass, and the wait for it to settle, resulted in a longer than expected drink time. Easily partaken with a few chunks of sharp cheddar, this is a relatively easy going Bière de Noël.
Overall: Basically a Tripel with some extra Xmas kick, this is a reasonable enough effort, but I confess to being a tad old-fashioned and preferring my Xmas beers to be dark and dangerous. That said, this is well worth a try. Val-Dieu make some solid beers that are above average but yet never seem to stand out from the crowd, again, this is one such offering. Reasonably good value at $6.99 though.

Pours a hazy orange/amber /chestnut and lots of effervescence. Huge head on the pour and a massive lace on the appropriate glassware.
Aroma of caramel, pale malt, some grain and a spciy coriander and citrus fruit notes.
Flavors of caramel, brown sugar, dark citrus, coriander, hint of cinnamon and other spices.
Mouthfeel starts light and airy and moves to a moderately spiced middle and finishes with a sweet citrusy touch of alcohol.
Drinkability is very good. Little out of season but high quality beer.

Pacers' Granger to have season-ending surgery
Danny Granger's season is ending the same way it began in Indiana -- with a sore left knee that will require more medical treatment.
INDIANAPOLIS -- Danny Granger's season is ending the same way it began in Indiana -- with a sore left knee that will require more medical treatment.The team announced Thursday that Granger would miss the rest of the season so he could undergo surgery on the bothersome knee that has slowed him since last year's playoffs.
"He's at peace with it," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said in Dallas before a game against the Mavericks. "He's disappointed, but you have to make the best decision."
The move comes just two days after Vogel told reporters he expected Granger to return during the current four-game road trip.
"These games will be sort of his rehab assignments and we're going to manage it the way we did before, with 15 or 20 minutes per game," Vogel told reporters after Tuesday's practice.
But instead of getting Granger back, the former All-Star consulted with the team's medical staff and Dr. James Andrews, the noted sports physician. Together they decided that after spending most of the season treating the injury conservatively, surgery was now the best remaining option.
Granger sat out the entire first half of the season with patellar tendinosis after undergoing a second injection to treat the injury in October. He returned for five games in February, coming off the bench each time and averaging 5.4 points, before the knee flared up again. He hasn't played since and Vogel knew time was running short for Granger to make a significant contribution in the playoffs.
"We know we can win without Danny in the lineup," Indiana forward Paul George said. "As much as we do want Danny back, our mindset is still to prepare to win in the playoffs."
The Pacers say Granger should be healthy for the start of training camp.
Indiana will now continue the bid for its first Central Division title without its top scorer over each of the previous five seasons. Without him, the Pacers (45-27) have built a five-game lead over Chicago in the division chase and are just percentage points behind the New York Knicks in the race for the Eastern Conference's No. 2 seed.
The Pacers got a boost Thursday night with the return of power forward David West, who missed six straight games with a sprained lower back. West was in the starting lineup against Dallas. Starters George Hill (strained left groin) and Lance Stephenson (strained right hip flexor) both returned to the lineup at Houston after missing Monday night's game against Atlanta.

song for girl (self.AskReddit)
submitted 1 year ago by drezzmasterflex
This girl and I are most likely going to be dating soon and I have a question. Is it weird that I wrote a song for her? I have liked her for a while but don't if it's creepy. What's your oppinion?
[–]SelfishAirboat 2 points3 points4 points 1 year ago
Depends on what kind of girl she is. She might love it. But then again, you may send her running away screaming. You gotta risk it to get the biscuit.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I definitely agree with this. A guy from my high school wrote a song for a girl that he wanted to ask out. During class, he asked three other girls and I to listen to it and tell him how we would react if someone wrote a song for us. It wasn't a bad song. We all agreed on that. However, the reactions were completely split; half and half. My friend thought it was the sweetest gesture. I, on the other hand, would have been looking for a rock to hide under if it was for me. It really depends on the specific person.
[–]rockoholik13 1 point2 points3 points 1 year ago
I say it's a good way to ask her out if you're that sappy romantic type. Not saying that's a bad thing at all either.
Pretty much sums it up.
[–]uhohiqueefed 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
i think it's sweet. just don't make the lyrics too over the top.
[–]AetherIsWaiting 0 points1 point2 points 1 year ago
just say you want to have here listen to it, and let her decipher it herself. It's also more fun that way, and less likely for her to run away.
edit: I mean isn't that what music is all about?

You could influence others by drawing upon your expertise and experience, which may make you feel capable about the work you do today. Since you know that you are competent, you may find that you want to be in control of certain situations, which might mean that you could cross the boundary between being firm and knowledgeable to being imposing. Knowing the limits of your influence and being able to assess how much sway you truly have in a situation could make your interactions more effective today. Perhaps you can think about how others would respond to you before speaking. Try considering the appropriate tone of your voice, body language, and words you can use that would get you what you want. You may notice that by doing so, you could have more of an impact than if you were to act without awareness. Understanding the effects that our actions will have on others allows us to interact more conscientiously. Especially when we feel confident in our abilities, we are more likely to focus on getting across our own ideas instead of recognizing that we will be much more persuasive if we take the time to assess the situation. Feeling out how others are feeling and how they will react to us may take a little more time, but by us meeting their needs, they will be much more responsive to ours. By acting in a way that cultivates understanding today, you will be much more influential, and others will want to listen closely to your ideas.

The recession is over. The Coalition should be pleased, but not too pleased.
So, farewell to the recession of 2011/12. Goodbye. You won't be missed, except possibly by some of the sillier members of the Labour Party.
Growth of 1 per cent in Q3 is a good number, and as long as there's at least 0.2 per cent growth in Q4, overall growth for 2012 will be positive. Ministers should be pleased, but not too pleased.
As I mentioned the other day, the Coalition shouldn't get carried away with a single quarter's figures, for several reasons:
1) There's an awful lot of ground to make up. Today's figures put the economy back where it was a year ago. Reversing the reductions in GDP caused by the first of the double dips, the horror of 2008/09, is a much bigger job; depending on how you reckon it, we're barely half way back to where we were when all this started. The rest of the journey could be slow and painful, especially if the more negative explanations for Britain's falling productivity turn out to be correct. The austerity programme is far from over, and the Autumn Statement is still going to be a grim affair.
2) Remember the unknown. The threat of external shocks surely remains high. Just because the eurozone crisis hasn't erupted recently, that doesn't mean it's gone away. The Chinese miracle economy has been looking less miraculous recently, and the leadership transition in Beijing isn't certain to be smooth. And some people in Whitehall will tell you that if Israel goes after Iran's nuclear programme, all bets for the global economy are off.
3) People don't experience GDP. They experience GDP per capita, disposable income, inflation and employment. Does anyone reading this today feel richer because of a number published by the ONS? You may feel a little more optimistic, but the consequences of that optimism are diffuse and face serious time-lags before they are felt.
4) You can never bet on public gratitude. Even if this is the start of a period of sustained growth that eventually means household finances and employment are rosy by 2015, no one can be sure who, if anyone, voters will thank for that. Many in Government cling to the idea that if the economy comes good, nothing else matters. Yet recovery is a necessary condition of re-election, but not sufficient: voters have to give you the credit for their improved lot. If the idea of Government incompetence starts to stick, it's possible that the electorate will conclude that a recovery has come about not because of the Government but despite it. Voters can be an ungrateful bunch: just ask John Major.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- Los Angeles police are in a legal fight to get their hands on tapes that could show a link between the notorious Manson family and more than a dozen unsolved homicides.
Police are trying to gain access to taped conversations recorded in 1969 between one of Charles Manson's followers, Charles "Tex" Watson, and an attorney who died three years ago.
Manson and Watson are serving life sentences for the Tate-LaBianca murders in 1969. The 12 unsolved murders reportedly occurred near the Spahn Ranch, the Manson family's hangout during its Southland killing spree more than 40 years ago.
"The key is 'they may be tied to.' They occurred in the same basic type of circumstances, the same basic time frame that the Manson family was active, and in the same region, so we're thinking there's a possibility," said LAPD Cmdr. Andrew Smith.
The recordings are now in the hands of a trustee in a bankruptcy proceeding involving the late attorney's law firm.
In May, a bankruptcy court judge ruled that the LAPD should get the tapes because Watson waived his right to attorney-client privilege when he made them available to the co-author of his 1978 book "Will You Die for Me? The Man Who Killed for Charles Manson Tells His Own Story."
Watson is fighting police access to the tapes, and a federal judge has temporarily blocked police from executing a search warrant at an office where the tapes are kept.
U.S. District Judge Richard A. Schell criticized the LAPD for what he called an apparent attempt to circumvent a court order making the tapes off limits until Watson's appeal of a previous ruling in bankruptcy court can be heard.
Watson, now 66, has argued in court documents that he waived his attorney-client privilege only for the book. He has stated that he's willing to allow the LAPD to listen to the tapes, but not take possession of them because he's concerned that the media would gain access as well.
"It'd be a bit of a stretch, but until we get those tapes and listen to them, we're never going to know," Smith said. "We really feel like we owe it to the victims in this case, and we owe it to their family members to do everything we can to investigate it fully and give them some closure if we can."

Wild signs Mikko Koivu to 7-year, $47M extension
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - This time, Minnesota Wild fans don't have to fret about losing the franchise player.
Captain Mikko Koivu signed a seven-year, $47.25 million contract extension on Thursday, keeping the versatile center with the team through the 2017-18 season.
"You could argue quite persuasively that he's the best player to ever play for the Minnesota Wild," said general manager Chuck Fletcher, who watched the organization's original first-round draft pick, right wing Marian Gaborik, leave for riches and the New York Rangers as a free agent last summer.
The Wild weren't about to let Koivu get that far, and the 27-year-old Finland native was quite happy to stay with the team that took him in the first round in 2001, one draft after Gaborik.
Fletcher went so far as to call this deal a "monumental signing" and an "historic day" for the franchise. Koivu, picked as the Wild's first permanent captain last October, had 22 goals and 49 assists last season. In addition to being a leader in the locker room, Koivu is arguably their best offensive player and best defensive forward.
"Truly our franchise player," Fletcher said.
Reached on a conference call with local reporters, Koivu _ at 2:30 a.m. local time in Finland _ called himself "a lucky guy" and said he was "very excited to work for this contract." He didn't want to play the season with uncertainty about his status.
"It was easy and kind of very fast, and I think that's the way we both wanted," Koivu said.
Koivu has one season left at $3.7 million on the four-year, $13 million contract he signed with the Wild three summers ago. When his new deal kicks in next season, Koivu's annual base salary will be $5.4 million with bonuses of $1.89 million paid every other year and a double installment to raise the figure to $9.18 million in the final season.
"How many centermen are really better than Mikko, when you break it down?" Fletcher said, later adding: "I think it's a very fair contract. Let's not kid ourselves. If he got to July 1, 2011, he would've had several teams making very lucrative offers to him. I'm not sure there's been a centerman like him on the open market since we've had the new CBA."
Koivu has led the Wild in points for two straight seasons. He was second in the NHL last season in faceoffs won. This contract, assuming he stays healthy, should allow Koivu to overtake Gaborik for the franchise's career offensive records.
"We look forward to working with Mikko to building a championship-caliber club here in St. Paul," Fletcher said.
Koivu had arthroscopic surgeries on his right shoulder and his right knee in April, but he said his rehab is going well.
"I can tell you that I feel good to be healthy again," Koivu said.
Fletcher didn't rule out adding another player or two before the fall, though he indicated he's not trying to trade anyone.

Student athlete Jessica Roberts spent some time over the summer coaching kids in Uganda.
Many student-athletes spend their summers relaxing, conditioning and getting ready for the school year to start. But Missouri State University women's soccer senior Jessica Roberts spent this past summer helping the less fortunate in Uganda, Africa and coaching youth teams in Guatemala.
"I have always wanted to go to Africa," said Roberts. "It sounded like a great idea. It was exciting and a great opportunity."
Roberts and teammate Kristina Tomaras went to Uganda with a group led by Missouri State Prevention, Rehabilitation and Physical Performance Coordinator Mitch Hauschildt. The group of 19 people under the moniker Man Up and Go, took donated items, including clothing, school supplies and other beneficial products, to aid in projects.
While in Uganda, one of the service projects that the group did was to paint an orphanage.
The group was in Uganda for two weeks. Roberts said that the ability to communicate was not a detriment as they travelled through the country.
"Everywhere we went, someone spoke English. The kids even knew enough English to tell us their names and how they were doing."
Roberts and Tomaras taught kids to play soccer and other activities while helping to lift spirits in impoverished areas.
After returning from Africa, Roberts then headed to Guatemala for six weeks as part of Mission El Faro. She was stationed in Punta de Palma for a majority of her stay.
A friend of Roberts' had gone to Central America a couple of years ago with her Evangel basketball team and told her about the trip. Roberts reached out to the coach in Guatemala expressing interest in helping out and the timing worked great. The coach was leaving to get married and Roberts assumed the role of coach in his absence.
Roberts took the reins of four different youth teams. She taught them soccer skills and team camaraderie. Roberts said kids from as far as an hour away would come to her training sessions to learn about soccer.
Her teams competed against neighboring villages, including a tournament through Champions in Action at the end of her stay. Roberts' team played in the title game, finishing second in the tournament.
"This summer helped me realize how fortunate we are to have the opportunity to be a student-athlete."
Christy Ha is studying abroad for a full year in Murcia, Spain. The friendships she formed with international students at MSU helped her make the transition to Spanish life.

High school baseball: Bingham scores big back-to-back wins over defending champ American Fork
AMERICAN FORK — Playing baseball in Region 4 is tough, and it's particularly tough against defending 5A champion American Fork.
The Cavemen have played well this season and have — at times — looked poised to repeat as champs.
But they're not the only tough team in the league.
Region 4 opponent Bingham is no slouch itself, and the Miners have proved as much this week by handing the Cavemen their first two region losses in the first two games of a three-game series.
The Miners followed up their 4-2 home win against the Cavemen on Tuesday with a hard-fought 5-3 victory on the road Wednesday afternoon.
"This was a big win for us," said Bingham senior catcher Jacob Druce. "We were coming off some tough losses against Riverton, but we knew that if we approached this series right, kept taking games one game a time, that we'd be OK."
Druce was the catalyst for Bingham's five-run third inning that proved to be the difference in Wednesday's game. He provided a deep double to left field to give the Miners runners on second and third with no outs.
Lance Harrison then had an RBI single. TJ Bowcutt was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded. And those things led to a huge bases-clearing double by Ryan Llewelyn.
"That was huge for (Llewelyn) and it was nice to see him come through there because he'd been struggling," said Bingham coach Joey Sato. "That was obviously a big inning for us and we were able to get some runs after coming up short the first two innings. We had some guys swing the bat well who hadn't been swinging it well in that inning, so we'll take it."
Indeed, Bingham's leadoff hitter was able to get on base in each of the first four innings, but failed to score in three of them.
In between scoring efforts, Bingham starting pitcher Brennon Lund kept the potent Caveman lineup in check — allowing just three hits and two unearned runs in 5 2/3 innings pitched.
"Brennon hasn't pitched for us for about three weeks, but he's definitely capable of that type of performance and we knew that," Sato said. "He was big for us today and we needed that type of performance."
American Fork isn't used to yielding easy wins and wouldn't go down without a fight. The Cavemen took advantage of Bingham errors and two hit batters in the final two innings to cut the Miners' lead to 5-3.
"American Fork is a great team. They're the state champions until someone replaces them and they never go down easy," Sato said. "They're the type of team that makes you earn everything you get and we saw that today. It's always a big win when you can beat a team like that and hopefully this gives us some good momentum for the rest of the year and into the playoffs."
With the win Bingham improves to 11-6 on the year and 5-3 in region play. It will cap off its three-game set versus American Fork at home Friday. American Fork, meanwhile, drops to 11-4 on the year and 6-2 in region play.
