January 2014
Titles similar to The Fever Kill
Poet, horror novelist, and all-around cult favorite Piccirilli turned to crime a few years ago and has been building his audience steadily. This cut-to-the-bone noir, published by a small press in Louisiana, appeared in 2007 but never received the notice it deserved. Crease, the beleaguered protagonist, is an archetypal noir hero, on a crazy, nonsensical mission. "He really didn't care much anymore . . . [he understood] that what he was doing made no sense to anyone, not even himself, and yet it was the only thing he could be doing." That's a prescription for disaster, of course, but it's a kind of disaster that lives deep in the marrow of noir. For Crease, a cop who has been so far undercover for so long that the difference between his shadow self and his real self has almost ceased to exist, has fallen out with the drug lord he's supposed to be investigating and has returned to his hometown to settle scores. His father, once the local sheriff, turned to booze after a young girl, a kidnap victim, was murdered accidentally in a crossfire. The sheriff became the local pariah, thought by many to have fired the round that killed the innocent child and assumed to have absconded with the ransom. Crease, run out of town after defending his father, wants to find out what really happened. He finds out, but the answers only muddy the waters further. Piccirilli nails the mood of dusty, small-town noir—that mix of despair, desperation, and buried secrets that suggests Orson Welles' classic film, Touch of Evil—and he evokes the nothing-left-to-lose mindset that drives so many noir heroes to their undeserved fates. And, yet, tightening the noose on that fatal last turn, Crease has plenty to lose: an abandoned wife and son who, like the long-dead kidnap victim, wind up in a crossfire. Remember Spencer Tracy getting off the train at the beginning of Bad Day at Blackrock and walking into a tumbleweed-strewn minefield of mayhem? That's what happens to Crease in this absolutely riveting, uncompromising gut-wrencher of a novel.

A Sampling of Star Clusters
Globular and open clusters are pretty sights in small scopes.
But bigger is not always better for backyard observers. Small optics have a number of advantages. Binoculars and small telescopes are easier to transport and set up, and large deep-sky objects are often best appreciated in their relatively wide fields of view. Today's vast array of such small instruments attests to their increasing popularity.
While some celestial wonders are more impressive in larger telescopes, small instruments and even your unaided eyes can show more than they are given credit for, particularly when viewing clusters of stars. Here are a few seasonal highlights for Northern Hemisphere observers (though skygazers below the equator will also be able to find many of these objects).

Dust - be careful. If your H decides he must go to the hospital, it will send the OW the wrong message unless you are with him. I believe I am correct in remembering that the OW in your case is not so nice. Now is the time to be a UNITED front when it comes to her.
Truly, the baby won't remember one way or another. Personally, I don't think he should go. But it is a decision that only you and your H can make. Everyone's sitch is unique, kwim? If he feels he must be there - take a deep breath - and go with him. Do NOT let him sign anything. Aunt cis is right - signing anything will hurt him, especially if DNA proves him not to be the father.
Hospitals aren't necessarily so rigorous on who signs what at the birth. OW here forged H's signature - on AOPs and birth certificates - nothing was notarized, H's birthplace and birthdate were wrong and his "copies" were sent to her address. It was bad. Too bad for her we discovered it before she could use it to gain even more money.
Just pointing out that even though over&out and marysway are decent -- many OWs are not. They feel entitled - and it isn't about the OC - it is about them.
Be careful.
Dust - if your husband is hell bent on going to the hospital, then you should definately go with him, sovery is right, a UNITED front is what you need to present to the OW. I don't know the right answer for you, because every situation is different & it sounds like you are dealing with a pretty vicious OW, which I'm very sorry you have to deal with that! What I do know is that the birth of your child is an amazing experience that no parent should miss out on. And it sounds like your hubby really wants to go and step up to the plate here & your support would probably mean the world to him. If you do go, again, make sure he doesn't sign anything - but also, I would stress to you that his name should not even be put down on the birth certificate. It can always be added after the paternity test, if your husband is proved to be the father. If you want to talk more in depth, have any other questions, or ever need any other insight into what the OW might be thinking or going through, please feel free to PM me.
Over- I applaud you for coming on here and giving us another opinion on a situation that is hard for all of us.
Dust- If he is going to go to the hospital, I would go with him. And yes do not let him sign anything.
I am going to pick up the OC tomorrow for their bi-weekly visits and see if they look any better. Last time I got them they were dirty, had several scrathes and marks on them and were hungry.
I am going to take them next weekend as well because I will be having surgery soon and I am not sure if we will be able to take them for 2 months while I am bed ridden. All I can do now is document and take pictures and hopefully someone will do something this time. She still doesn't have electricity since July and I know that she does not have any food for them. I wonder if she is sending the twins to school so that they are atleast getting 1 good meal a day.
I just wish OW would crawl in a hole and die and let someone who cares about these OC take care of them.
Wish it wasn't so complicated.
I'm sorry for your pain and the OC's horrible sitch. Sending you prayers and an angel for the OC.
OC is 19 months old now or so, and H and I visit together now, OW doesn't like it at all and still makes emotional trouble sometimes, but it's working okay for now.
The whole situation is so stressful and changeable--you just have to make your decisions from incident to incident, situation to situation. If you and H can come to an agreement about things, and if he is totally committed to your relationship, it can work, but with lots of tears and discussions and heartburn!
Good luck. I'm with you in not wanting to throw away years of a marriage or relationship (in our case, 30 years) for this major and awful decision H made--but it ain't easy!!

The Federal Transit Administration provides funding and financial assistance to states and local public bodies to support various types of planning. To qualify for metropolitan planning funding, an agency must meet Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) eligibility.
The Arizona Department of Transportation sets the course for the future through long-range planning to ensure Arizona's highway system can serve all of us as transportation users. Our planning includes multimodal forms of transportation — such as public transit, pedestrian, bicycling and aviation — to complement Arizona's roadways.
ADOT is the primary decision maker for federal-aid transportation plans and investments in nonmetropolitan areas with populations below 50,000. However, ADOT understands the importance of consulting with local governments before, during and after the decision-making process to ensure participation results in improved transportation system planning, performance and project development. Therefore, ADOT has developed guidelines that outline the consultation process and define how and when outreach will occur with officials from rural areas.
This document is subject to review and revision every five years. In the event that Congress enacts new transportation language, this document will be subject to immediate revision.

Men forced their way into elderly couple's home (From Evesham Journal)
Get involved! Send your photos, video, news & views by texting EJ NEWS to 80360 or e-mail us
Elderly couple's home in Bromsgrove was ransacked for £20 in foreign currency
3:55pm Monday 20th January 2014 in News By Gema Bate
TWO men forced their way into an elderly couple's home to steal just £20 worth of foreign currency.
Just before 9pm on Tuesday, January 17, the elderly man answered the door to his house in Broad Street, in Sidemoor, Bromsgrove, to someone claiming their was a fire at the bottom of the garden.
The man then barged through the door with another and knocked the phone from the elderly woman's hand as she tried to call the police.
One stayed with the couple while the other searched the house and stole 200 Hong Kong dollars, which is about £20, before leaving the property on foot.
The offenders were both white, in their late 20s to early 30s, with hoods up and scarves across their faces.
Detective Constable Jake Wright of West Mercia Police said: "The victims are in their 80s and the man in particular is extremely vulnerable. They were pushed to the floor and although they were not hurt, it was a very frightening incident for them."
"We would like to hear from any local business who are approached by anyone attempting to use or convert Hong Kong dollars."
Anyone with information is asked to contact police on the non-emergency number 101, or ring Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

You should rank people against the goals and objectives set for thier role and for the company. If you have a team of shitty performers, you all get shitty reviews. If you have a team of all stars, you all get great reviews.
Did you miss the part where i mentioned that i work on a team of amazing people, and reviews show it?
So, again, what's your preferred mechanism and what would you like MS to do differently?

Author's note: Don't be too hard on me. I wanted to change things up and try a little humor and kinkyness. If you are trying to find a story to jerk off to, this one isn't for you.
In a remote rural area of a southern state, there is a clan of rednecks called Boogers, and they have terrorized the female population of that territory for years. People in most cities and towns within a fifty mile radius know enough to stay clear of this redneck territory, but there are times when innocent folks find themselves trapped or lost in this scary place. This is the story of one of those situations.
Clem Booger sat on his porch swigging white lightning, as he did most mornings, watching and waiting for any female prey that might happen by. His dilapidated shack was situated on the main thoroughfare that led to towns in each direction, both about twenty five miles away. Clem was the clan leader, voted to that prestigious position, by all his sons, brothers and cousins, with the vote based on the length of the erect pecker. Clem was a full four inches long when erect and was so proud that his pecker was king of the territory. The next biggest was his son Jethro, who came in at 3 inches long. The rest were all under 3 inches, with the shortest being Billy Bob who proudly stood erect at 1 ½ inches. Billy Bob was the favorite bum fucker of the clan, since he couldn't do much damage with that little pecker, but he had a huge set of balls that felt good smacking against the boys butts.
Today wasn't a good one for finding female prey, because there wasn't much traffic and when Clem finally figured that out, he gave up and began looking around for one of his sheep. The closest ewe was grazing about ten feet away, so Clem snuck up behind her and dropped his overhauls, and was 4 inches deep, before the ewe knew what hit her. He held on tight to the curly wool as the ewe dragged him to and fro on the lawn, but he managed to cum in 15 seconds; a new endurance record to be bragged about to the rest of the clan.
Usually Saturday night was special, because all of the clan, except for Clem who hid near the side of the road, would line up in front of the shack with bare asses pointed towards the road, and Billy bob would go down the line bum fucking each clan member for passersby to see. Inevitably a car would pull over out of curiosity, and Clem would look closely to see if there were any women in the car. If not, he would fire his rock salt shotgun to scare them away. If there were women in the car, he would jump out of his hiding place, and wave his shotgun to get them under his control.
This Saturday night was really looking up, when Clem saw a convertible carrying four young females, who were probably high school students from the next town over. They had pulled over and were laughing and hollering at the clan getting bum fucked, but when Clem jumped out and pointed his shotgun at them, the laughter stopped in a hurry. After getting them out of the car, he took them into the shack, while Billy bob drove the car out back and parked it out of sight. These girls were terrified and when they realized that they weren't likely going to get out of this alive, they became very indignant and started making fun of the rednecks.
The rest of the clan joined Clem, and all of them were drooling through their yellow and rotted teeth, and all were furiously fist pumping their peckers in anticipation. Needless to say, many shot their seed before a minute had gone by, and the girls were starting to think that they may get a reprieve.
These good ole boys had done this so many times, that they had their routines synchronized, and were as organized as the assembly line workers at the John Deere tractor factory down the road. The girls had been stripped naked, and Clem stood back admiring his handy work of selecting very beautiful ones. Ropes were already strung from the ceiling beams, so as each redneck picked a girl, and chose either an arm or leg, they lifted her up and tied her limbs to the ropes. This allowed the girls to hang horizontally face down about three feet from the dirt floor, and once secured, two of the rednecks had a mouth and pussy at their beck and call. All four girls were strung up in record time, and all the rednecks then drew straws to see who got second dibs. Clem being the clan leader always went first.
It was quite a sight watching the girls swing back and forth on those ropes, as they were pumped one direction by a pecker in the pussy and then the opposite direction by a pecker in the mouth. The assembly line of redneck peckers spewing bucket loads of seed into these girls, was surely their worst nightmare. When all of the rednecks had finished with mouths and pussies, they lined up again for their turn at bum fucking. This time the girls were told to squeal like pigs when their ass was poked, or they would be shot with rock salt, so needless to say, they complied. I'm sure the girls didn't mind when Billy bob went first, because his little pecker wouldn't hurt much. The girls were getting more indignant now and started berating the rednecks for having such tiny cocks. They told them that the boys at their school have cocks starting at 7 inches long and as big as ten inches in some cases. This would turn out to be a very big mistake for the girls, which they would discover when the bum fucking was over. When the rednecks had all finished their turns, they left the girls hanging from the beams and went outside to drink some moonshine, and rest up.
After an hour, they went back inside and took the girls down, but left the ropes attached to their arms and legs. They led them out to the back forty, and tied them to the fence, bent over at the hips with their asses sticking out. The girls all looked back to try and see what the rednecks were up to, but when they saw them leading 4 mules towards them, they knew that it was going to be brutal.They must have been thinking that it was a bad idea to have made fun of the clan's little peckers. It was quite a sight as the mules mounted the girls, with their front hooves on the fence rail, and their huge mule cocks stuffed in the girl's pussies, humping mercilessly as the girls screamed.
Probably the smallest mule cock was 16 inches, so those pussies must have been bruised and raw, and the clan loved it. They jerked their peckers and slapped the mules on the ass, so they would hump harder, and they laughed hysterically as the mules started shooting buckets of mule sperm into those pussies. The sperm shot everywhere, since the pussies couldn't handle the volume, so the girls were completely drenched. Billy bob took over when the mules finished spewing their loads, and bum fucked each girl, one after another. By now the girls were pretty raw, and would likely have to live with hemorrhoids the rest of their lives, assuming that they got out of this alive.
Most of the other rednecks had already cum jerking off, so the girls got a bit of a rest after Billy bob finished. They left the girls tied to the fence, and went back to the porch for some moonshine. What they hadn't seen was an advance scout for the rival Bagrot clan from the next territory. He had watched from the woods, and as soon as the boogers were out of sight, he took turns bum fucking the girls. He told them if they made any noise, he would stuff their pussies with hornet's nests, so needless to say, the girls didn't make a sound. He blew into the last girl, and quickly returned to his clan's shack to bring them back for rape and plunder.
The girls watched as the 4 members of the Bagrot clan approached from the woods, with peckers already sticking out of their overhauls, and were preparing themselves for the worst. Just after the Bagrots got their peckers inside the girls, they heard the unmistakable sounds of shotguns being cocked. The rock salt cut into their asses, and in one case completely blew off the nut sack of the clan leader. Jethro whooped and hollered that he had never seen a pecker wilt so fast, as he looked at the bagless Bagrot leader. Jethro bent him over and bum fucked him, just to add insult to injury, but before he blew, he withdrew his pecker and replaced it with the shotgun barrel. That barrel split the clan leader's asshole wide open, but not as wide as when Jethro fired both barrels of rock salt into his ass. The rest of the bagrot clan made a run for it and the boogers hooted and high fived, and then started shooting. The three bagrots made their escape, so now the boogers turned their attention back to the girls, but were puzzled as to what to try next.
Clem came up with a new plan, and what he decided was that they would bury the girls with their asses left up in the air exposed, so the clan would have a place to rest their shotguns and to butt their cigarettes out. Before burying the girls, Billy bob couldn't resist kneeling down and having another go at their asses. Just as he got his pecker into the first ass, Clem noticed a red dot on Billy Bob's forehead, and in an instant, the red dot was replaced by a bullet hole. One after another, the clan dropped to the ground, shot through the head, and when there was only Clem left standing; he threw down his shotgun to surrender.
The three bagrots ran in and released the girls and handed them each a sling blade and told them that Clem was now their prisoner and could do whatever they wanted with him. It was quite a sight watching Clem lose his body parts slowly and methodically, starting with his nut sack and pecker. The three bagrots weren't all that bright and didn't realize that they would be the next victims of the girls. The blades swished through the air with precise and vicious strikes and soon the bagrot body parts joined those of Clem on the ground. As the girls threw down the blades after finishing off all the clan members, they danced and high fived, until they heard guns cocking nearby. Four State troopers had arrived and put them under arrest, but the sight of these naked girls was too much for them. They decided that the girls would be punished by them on the spot using southern justice, rather than going to all the trouble of arrests, trials, etc.
Out back, the girls were handcuffed to the fence, and four State Troopers mounted them from behind. Just as they were ball slapping those asses, the mules came by jealous of the proceedings, and reared up and fucked the State Troopers in the ass. Those cops were split wide open but the mules kept on pumping and when the seed started to flow, it was red with blood from torn rectums. When the mules finished and left, the State Troopers were all unconscious, so the girls found the keys to the handcuffs and made their way to their car.
Nine months later the girls all gave birth, and 18 years later they were the proud mothers of boys with yellow and rotted teeth, and with ears like mules.

While the half marathon turn heads back on Troost, the marathon is a bigger loop that continues south to connect the scenic and popular areas of The Plaza, Brush Creek, Loose Park, Ward Parkway, Waldo, and Brookside. You'll get all this with moderate rolling hills along with only one long gradual uphill on Sunset Dr.
by Coach Eladio Valdez III (Runner's Edge)
This year, we will have our best ever course! The plan is to stick with this for at least the next couple of years. As the course designer, I wanted to offer a more detailed description of each race distance. If you're like me, the more you can learn about a race, the better. It's nearly impossible to come up with a quality flat half marathon or marathon course in our city, so I tried to minimize the hills whenever possible. I just modeled what has worked in other large cities – design a course that takes participants through its best parts.
There are other subtle perks such as making the hills more friendly by choosing the more gradual option or breaking a long hill into 2 doable ones, warming everyone up a little before the first big hill, changing the scenery enough to keep things interesting, making it more spectator friendly with loops, and providing a fast downhill to flat finish. The half marathon is a smaller loop within the marathon meaning that participants will share the first 7.5 miles together and cover the same final 5.5 miles. I hope you find this informative and enjoyable to read. Good luck!
Start to Mile 4
The start is at 22nd on Grand, near Crown Center. It heads north to 12th Street to provide a gradual downhill followed by a long, gentle uphill. Check out Sprint Center and Power & Light District. Turn left on 12th to take in some of the historic downtown followed by a left on Main to head back by the Power & Light District and enjoy a long gradual downhill. Continue heading down the hill followed by a small rise to Pershing.
Turn right to run by the famous Bloch fountain in front of the Union Station and then head up Kessler for ½ mile before taking a left on Memorial drive and onto the loop leading to the Liberty Memorial. This gives everyone 2.5+ miles of a few turns and two long straight stretches of road to spread out a little and warm up before heading up the biggest hill to the Liberty Memorial. Be careful not to go out too fast so you'll be ready for it. The flat, scenic ½ mile stretch on Liberty Memorial Drive provides everyone a much needed break before heading south on Wyandotte for a short, steep up and downhill to 31st Street to Baltimore.
Miles 4 to 8
The next 4 miles are flat to downhill with some rolling hills in between so you can really make some good time through here. Head south on Main through Midtown, and turn right on Westport Rd. through the heart of Westport. The only noticeable hill of this section will be encountered upon leaving the Westport area, but fortunately it's a gradual incline. Stay on this road until you see Roanoke Parkway and take a left on this tree shaded long gradual downhill – you'll really be able to pick up the pace on this stretch if you're after a time goal. After turning left on 47th going through the Plaza, you'll pass several fountains including the JC Nichols fountain. You'll get to stay with the half marathoners for the first 7.8 miles before they turn left on Troost. Lots of things to see on this portion while cruising right along!
Miles 8 to 13.1 (halfway)
The next 5 miles will be among the most scenic you'll find on any marathon course. It's also marked with a long flat section followed by a long gradual hill and rolling terrain through historic, stately homes. Continue east on 47th and cross Brush Creek on The Paseo before turning right on Volker to pass by the waterfalls and fountains of the Stowers Institute as well as several fountains along Brush Creek. Cross the creek again on Main to head west on Ward Parkway and catch the Plaza again. Continue heading west on Ward Parkway until you see the big hill ahead by Pembroke School where it intersects with Shawnee Mission Parkway. Avoid the hill and cross Brush Creek, heading back east on Ward Parkway for a final view of the Plaza. Turn right on Sunset Dr. for the next major hill, albeit a long gradual one split up into 2 parts. Complete the hill by turning left on 54th Street, left on Belleview, and right on 52nd Street to Loose Park. Stay along Loose Park by going right on Summit to the halfway point.
Miles 13.1 to 20
You'll enjoy another very scenic portion of the route while keeping up a strong pace on this gentle section with long flat and downhill stretches – this is another great stretch to make up for any lost time and bank a little for the final miles. From 58th Street, turn right to Belleview and south to 57th Terrace before heading west to the scenic Ward Parkway. Turn left on the east side of Ward Parkway, and you'll stay on this very scenic and gently rolling road for 2.5 miles before turning left on 75th Street. 75th takes you into the Waldo district where you'll then turn left on Wornall. Head north on Wornall through some more very nice neighborhoods before turning right on Meyer and then a quick left on Brookside. Take advantage of this nearly 2 mile gradual downhill before turning right on Volker. Stay along the flat, scenic Brush Creek passing the churning waterfalls at The Stowers Institute once again.
Miles 20 to 26.2
After a flat 1.5 miles, this is essentially a gradual uphill followed by a gradual downhill and a flat finish. From Volker, turn left on The Paseo, left on 47th and right on Troost followed by a quick left on Brush Creek Blvd. and right on Harrison St. followed by a gradual left on Gilham Rd. The final major hill is noticed about 21.7 miles into the race on the scenic Harrison Pkwy through the historic Hyde Park area to Harrison St. Things flatten out as you take a right on Armour before ascending another hill to take a left on The Paseo. Continue north on The Paseo and take advantage of the 1.5 mile gentle downhill. Turn left on 18th Street to enjoy another long flat stretch to Grand. Left on Grand to negotiate a final small gradual hill over a bridge. From there, it'll be easy to show off as you get a 250 yard pancake flat finish to Pershing at Crown Center. Your treat for handling the first 23 miles is being able to finish strong with the last 3 miles being downhill to mostly flat.

I am a newbie and this cigar will keep me around for awhile!
gregg in boston September 2, 2013
"Great amt. of smoke and razor sharp burn"
Very mild, and enjoyed w/ a nice cup of coffee. Would have preferred some more flavors to develop, but a very solid smoke.
MD in NJ July 6, 2013
"Good but only worth it on sale"
With all the great reviews I was expecting a little more. Flavor was great and nice and light but the draw was a little lite for my taste and there was a couple of soft spots. Overall though I very good cigar and I will enjoy more of them!
Russell in Long Island October 12, 2012
"Overall favorite cigar"
So far this is my favorite. Some premium brands I've tried; Cohiba, AVO, Padron, Patel, Montecristo, Macanudo, Sancho Panza. Still lots more to try but so far The Griffin Robusto suits me better than anything--not too strong, nor too mild, perfect size, a great cigar to smoke alone in peace and relish in its mild complexities of taste and aroma.
IntermittantSmoker in California March 20, 2011
"Finger Burner!!"
A GREAT smoke!! Smooth and creamy, GREAT draw, even burn, flawless smoke.
Gets better as it burns, begging you to burn it all the way to the nub. One of my favorites!
Robert H. in Nor Cal December 28, 2010
"Same every time!"
The Griffin's Robusto and Short Robusto are a great cigars. The cigar's appearance, burn and flavor are consistent time after time. Just my favorite smoke!
Jim in Palm Beach, FL November 20, 2010
"The Griffin is the best."
I have purchased, at least, 25 boxes of Griffins. I have never smoked one that wasn't close to perfect. I've tried the best, Partagus 150. Graycliff, Davidoff,Ashton, etc. The Griffin is #1.
James Billingsby in St. Louis November 1, 2010
"My top cigar!"
This is definitely my top value cigar, this cigar has an excellent quality and the taste is excellent.
Hernan in Monterrey, Mexico April 2, 2009
"GREAT with a cup of coffee!!"
Started my last fishing trip with one of these. The Griffin in one hand, and my coffee in the other hand was just what I needed blasting across the lake before dawn! Great draw, a little weak to start, but about half way through the flavor began to really come through. I hated to put it out. Perfect draw for me, excellent burn. I think everyone should try one of these in the morning with their coffee!!

Maxi Health Research has combined calcium citrate with magnesium, vitamin D3 and boron, to give you the ultimate support for healthy bone and teeth. Calcium, the most abundant and possibly the most vital of all nutrients, constitutes the majority of all minerals in our body. Calcium loss is constant as the body carries on its daily functions and remodeling occurs every ninety days. In addition, calcium is essential for the contraction of muscles, conducting nerve impulses and enzyme activity. Calcium citrate (which is better absorbed than calcium carbonate), is possibly the most bioavailable form of calcium.

D: Great beer with any meal.
For the style this beer is average all across the board, and that is not a bad thing, becuase this is a great style, and it is nice to have a consistant representation. If I was at a bar that served all brands of beer, I would not choose KS for their Saison, but if you would like a basic crash course into the style, then by all means enjoy, and let it be your gateway brew!
BTW, I highly recommend "To the 9's" by strauss. It is not on the menu, but they do have 22oz bottles that you can order at the restaurant, or if you act fast you can grab one at a good liqour store near you.

Visited the Karl Strauss Brewpub with my wife after diving in La Jolla Cove. The Saison is their seasonal brew ,they seemed to be pushing it pretty hard. Being that Saison is one of my favorite styles it was not a hard sell for me. It poured much darker that your typical saison and was not as unfiltered as I would have liked. I think the ABV is 7%, it wasn't overpowering. There was a certain taste to it that I couldn't identify, it was a good brew overall. Nothing extreme, just well done.

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured from a growler into a paper cup (sadly).
Pours a medium- to dark-brown color, clear with light to medium carbonation and solid off-white/light tan head that lingers for a bit. Darker than the usual saison, and more malty in aroma, but still the farmhouse yeast is present. Taste is quite malty (like a lighter stout), but still has some spices and funky yeast flavors. Medium-bodied and quite drinkable in both flavor and alcohol. Really not quite a saison, but nonetheless one of the better offerings from Karl Strauss.

Poured hazy yellow-gold with a bubbly white head. Light lacing. Fresh floral nose with straw, apples, clove, and grass. Bubbly mouthfeel, kind of sharp. More bitter than expected for a saison; peppery and hoppy. Some lemon zest with a strong wheat/straw taste. A welcome funkiness in the finish. Not bad.

Murray On Travel in Santa Fe
Bruce Murray from Murray On Travel stayed at seven Santa Fe hotels in seven days in December 2012. The Inn and Spa at Loretto was one of them.
Murray stayed in Room 311. He agreed the "bed was very comfortable with smooth, soft and luxurious sheets," like many other guests and complimented the "beautiful artwork on cool dark red colored walls." He also described the bathroom as "spacious, very nice with attractive fixtures and a large combined shower and bathtub."
Murray ended his review with a gracious statement, "This has become one of my favorite hotels in Santa Fe."

The husband of Lil Wayne's baby mama #1 Toya Carter -- who co-stars alongside her in the BET reality show "Toya: A Family Affair" -- was arrested today at an airport in Atlanta ... after he allegedly tried to bring a gun onto an airplane.
Law enforcement tells TMZ, Mickey "Memphitz" Wright put his backpack through the X-ray scanner at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport -- and TSA agents quickly discovered the firearm and called the cops.
According to police, Wright had a valid license to carry the weapon ... insisting he had simply forgotten the gun was in his bag -- but it's still illegal to bring it on a plane.
Wright was arrested on the spot and transferred to a nearby jail. He is still in custody.
What a moron. If you bring a gun to an airport...they should take it from you and shoot your nuts off so you cannot contaminate the gene pool. For women, they should shove so far up their woohoo's that they can't ever get it out.
What a moron! Apparently this dip doesn'*****ch the news and doesn't know you can't bring weapons on planes. Duh!!!!!
what a jackass! Who packs a dayum gun before going on a plane? What was he thinking??? "Hmm...maybe da wont notice"
What possesses these morons to think they need to carry a gun with them at all times? What kind of life do they lead or want to lead in order to make the decision to carry a weapon? So many logical questions but I am sure they would have some pretty stupid answers!
I wonder what would've happened if passengers with a legal permit had their guns on the 9/11 flights that were hijacked?
You have to take your shoes and belt off for christ's sake, what is it with black people and thinking they can beat the metal detector at the airport?
Hey BB brain! Those metal detectors, scanners and X-ray machines at airports? Those will catch your gun every time. Wise up!
They should have just dragged his ass to a back room and shot him dead. People that stupid should not reproduce. WHY. WHAT is the purpose of bringing a GUN to an AIRPORT?. Morons, I swear!
She is lil'wayne's EX-WIFE! not babies mama.
That's why her last name is Carter
I hate to pull the race card but damn, come on!!
please re-track that inappropriate label you put on her.
The husband of Lil Wayne's baby mama #1 Toya Carter...the who what huh did you fall over trying to stretch that reach for something that sounded like ghetto hood talk.oh and what a fing idiot.hope he loses his ccp
He is a very cute boy! Exactly the type of boy my dad would disown me if I ever brought home :)
what a dumb azz idiot...he is where he should be....damn he's as dumb as a used up tampon!

Beyond the Houses
The City Watch
The City Watch is responsible for the safety and security of the city of King's Landing. Watchmen are more colloquially known as "gold cloaks" because of the gold-colored capes they wear. City Watch salaries are paid by the kingdom, and unlike the other organizations in the Seven Kingdoms, these soldiers swear no allegiance.
The Kingsguard
An elite squad of bodyguards whose origins date back to Aegon the Conqueror, the Kingsguard serves to protect the royal family. Members of the Kingsguard swear an oath that binds them to their position for life and forbids them from marrying, fathering children or holding land. As a young man, Jaime Lannister was sworn into the Kingsguard, but he broke his vow to protect the king when he sided with Robert Baratheon and murdered Aerys II. Like Jaime Lannister, Ser Barristan Selmy was a member of the Kingsguard during the reign of the Mad King Aerys, but he never wavered from duty. For that, he was not only pardoned by Robert Baratheon in recognition of his loyalty, Ser Barristan was also named Lord Commander. He held the position until King Joffrey decided to hand it over to his Uncle Jaime.
Maesters of the Citadel
Dressed in grey and bedecked in heavy chains, maesters serve as teachers, scientists and healers to the noble houses of the Seven Kingdoms and the Night's Watch. Maesters hold no familial or political allegiances – they are only known by their title and first name. Once they have completed training at the Citadel, they serve the houses they are assigned to, observe the change of seasons and attend to the ravens. Maesters' chains are worn at all times, even during sleep, and are indications of areas of knowledge. There are hundreds of different links, and each is made of a different substance, which signifies expertise in a given field of study.
The Night's Watch
Founded eons ago, the Night's Watch protects the Seven Kingdoms from the wilds of the Far North. Members of the Night's Watch swear an oath of duty, one that binds them to the job for life, and forbids them from marrying, fathering children or holding land. Desertion is a crime punishable by death. They dress entirely in black, hence the nicknames "crows" or "black brothers." Although the Night's Watch was once manned by volunteers from the noble houses, in recent years, the service has fallen on hard times and has lost the interest of the king. Its ranks are now formed of criminals and delinquents avoiding strict punishments, or high-born lords escaping scandal. Once bonded into the Watch, however, past crimes, allegiances and birthrights are forgotten, and each man can rise within its ranks.
The primary duty of the Night's Watch is to maintain and defend the Wall, a 700-foot-high barricade of mostly ice that separates the Seven Kingdoms from the unknown that lies to the north. Lord Commander Jeor Mormont leads the Night's Watch from its stronghold at Castle Black, one of many fortresses that line the Wall.
The Small Council
The Small Council is an advisory group that serves the reigning king. The head of the council is the Hand of the King, who holds the king's proxy when he is not in attendance. The Small Council of King Joffrey Baratheon includes holdovers from his father's day: Petyr Baelish, Master of the Coin; Varys, a eunuch spymaster known as the court's "Master of Whisperers"; and Grand Maester Pycelle.
The Dothraki
The Dothraki are a nomadic band of horse lords who live in Essos on the plains beyond the Free Cities. They travel in packs known as khalasars; the leader of each band is known as a khal. Dothraki fulfill their needs by force – raiding parties supply the food and slaves each khalasar requires; there is no word in the Dothraki language for "thank you." A khal's strength can be determined by the length of his hair – khals cut their hair only after defeat. Although the Dothraki travel constantly, they do have one permanent city, Vaes Dothrak. The city exists without walls and is ruled by the dosh khaleen, the widows of fallen khals. Visitors in the city are forbidden to draw swords.
The Dothraki do not trust water their horses cannot drink. For that reason, they have never sailed and are not considered a threat by the Westerosi who live across the Narrow Sea.
The Alchemists' Guild
A once-powerful society of learned men who practiced magic and the arcane, these days the alchemists have been displaced by maesters who specialize in physical science. Members of the guild are known as "wisdoms"; they are currently led by Wisdom Hallyne who heads the order from the Guildhall beneath Rhaenys's hill in King's Landing. An especial talent of the guild is the production of wildfire, a liquid that will ignite at the smallest spark or when overheated. Wildfire's green flames are impossible to extinguish, and significant amounts of the liquid will explode violently. Because of their ability to produce the substance, the alchemists are also known as pyromancers. Mad King Aerys, who was obsessed with burning his enemies alive, was particularly fascinated by wildfire.

text: Stunt Bike Riders Are Making Motorcycles Fly Once populated by outlaws who ran from the cops and sold videos of their incredible motorcycle tricks, sport bike stunt riding is now on the verge of becoming the next big extreme sport. Say hello to the riders of the XDL Championship Series. By Christopher Maag Email Comments 0 Share Back 1 of 6 Next Back Next Jake Stangel View Larger View Thumbnails During a practice run before the XDL Championship Series in Indianapolis, pro rider Aaron Colton pulls a 270 stoppie, which involves spinning the bike 180 degrees on the front tire and then completing the last 90 degrees in the air. While riding a wheelie at 30 mph, Aaron Colton guns the gas. His motorcycle leaps off its back tire and into the air, a 400-pound blur of black metal and orange plastic. Both tires slam to the ground, and with the bike still moving forward, Colton taps the front brake, snapping the bike's rear tire in the air while he keeps the bike balanced and rolling fast on the front tiretoo fast. He's almost out of pavement. Colton quickly drops the back end and clamps down hard on both brakes. The bike shimmies sideways, sliding to a stop right before crashing into a barrier. And that, my friends, is a wheelie-bunny-hop-into-stoppie, one of the most dangerous trick combinations in sportbike stunt riding. Only a handful of riders in the world can land it. "I ran a little too fast and hard," Colton says afterward, sweat streaming down his cheeks. "Even to me, what we're doing out here is pretty mind-blowing."
