I am starting this so we can have a running conversation about beer. Instead of having new threads all of the time I would like to keep it all in here if possible. I also think we should do this with subjects like Netflix and other topics that pop up all of the time. What do you guys think? Is this a good idea?

I feel I love beer more than anyone, but have been burned many times buying an unfamiliar sixer, getting all the way home and cracking one of these badboys open only to find out Im drinking like clammed tomatoe pumkin pie crap and of course Im not going to throw out a $10 sixer so I drink every miserable sip. Now I only buy pbr or bud heavy so tonight give me a beer I can find in north AL and I'll take your word for it a drink it and if it taste like shit Im punching you in the face.

Great idea Aussie. I live in Florida so I cant get Fat Tire here but its definitely my favorite. Right now I am stuck on Magic Hat #9, but do not limit myself just to that. I enjoy all of The Sam Adams Seasonals as well as my Yeungling (Old Faithful).

If you find yourself in Minnesota, I advise you to try Surly. Anything and everything. They have really made some quality stuff. It's rather expensive, comes in 4 packs of 16oz cans, and most are liberal with the alcohol content. Probably the best stuff I've had. Too bad they only distribute in Minnesota, cause they'd catch fire in other states. Among some of the best beers in the country.

They brew some great beers. The IPA is solid. They've made some interesting small batch stuff this last year, most notably the RyePA, which was really good. Have an acquaintance that does the Summit tours on the weekends and has made for a fun, albeit drunken, weekend event. They more or less started the MN brewer phenomenon we are now experiencing back in the early 80's. It's a great town to live in as far as that is concerned. Have many friends who brew and a couple that work at a local brewing supply store. Another buddy started the St. Paul Summer Beer Festival that is in its third year this summer. I set myself up nicely in terms of drinking well. Shit....life is good!

After reading this thread I really feel like a 24 year old. I started drinking budlight at 16 and still drink it today. I have tried different types from America and Mexico, but never liked any. I guess I'm to young to know good taste when it comes to beer.

Yea I really liked their IPA. We stayed downtown at the Hilton and went out every night to Brit's Pub and I thought it was a pretty cool bar. I really liked downtown Minneapolis. It was very clean for such a big city, at least the part I was in. The cab driver told me the only real downfall to living there was that the winters are beyond miserable.

UPDATE: Congrats to winners Jason and Bassistfrmsbwy. Enjoy!
Screenshots after the break!

[gallery link="file" columns="2"]
Love the life time maps! I'm on the road everyday and roads are always changing. This is a great way to stay up to date when I'm someone new!
Magellan has been a leading in gps industry and with the new additions the app becomes super .... Lifetime maps is a killer feature .. no need to worry about latest updates .... also yelp integration helps .... would love to have one :)
Lifetime Maps is a pretty great feature. Yelp integration could come in real handy on road trips......
Leanne I think you have very pretty eyes and a nice smile, that is probably my favorite features....oh wait you meant of the gps program...I LOVE google search and I have to say the lifetime maps are pretty nice as well...
The Google local search and Yelp API are great additions. I'm planning to drive from NYC to California next month and I can imagine how awesome it would be to be able to search for food, gas, or hotels on my route without having to leave the app. My trip would be so much easier.
That is the kind of feature that turns an okay product into a great product! Keep it up Magellan.
The Google search feature is the best new feature by far! Google can find almost anything, and by integrating it with a navigation app, you've got a real killer!
The user interface showing speed and ETA as well as the Yelp integration top my list. I have been looking for a new navigation app and really need one soon. Thanks for the opportunity to win!! BTW - I'm Robin on your site.
I like the ability to customize the layout. I was driving around Nashville (I live in Houston) wondering what the speed limit was because it felt like traffic was slow for no apparent reason. So I like having the speed limit up ALL the time!
I like the large user interface and the Yelp integration. It is definitely time for me to look into this product!
The Yelp integration, for sure. While the lifetime map updates are a close second, the Yelp integration surpasses this. In addition to providing useful information, it should expose more people to Yelp, which will undoubtedly increase the amount of good reviews for establishments.
I like everything about the look, but having that speed limit displayed keeps me under that radar of the law :)
Lifetime Maps is probably the best feature. I have another Magellan which is out of date since they wanted 70% of the purchase prices to update the maps.
Lifetime maps and live traffic are definitely the two greatest features to the newest updates. Lifetime maps is the biggest simply because maps are the sole purpose of GPS nav, and they aren't static, and live traffic is simply amazing, so we don't have to waste our life away sitting in traffic! Good luck everyone, I'd love to have a copy myself!
I love that they added the Yelp integration because I typically don't want to just search for ANY food, but a restaurant with good reviews and reputation. Awesome.
Wow, this is cool I have Navigon and Mapquest, but this includes some great functionality. Hope I win!
I think the google local search is a great feature, let's you find what you are looking for with out relying on a built in POI list.
I'm all about the Yelp integration! Navigon can help me find a restaraunt but this one will actually tell me if it's worthwile!
Lifetime maps are a plus too!
Wow... this is really sweet. Anything that works with Google is ok with me.... I would love to try this one out!
I think the local search feature with Google is the best. With the addition of Google and lifetime maps this app can't be beat!
The direct connection to Google search is like mashing together the two map apps that I use today and have to use Cut & Paste to work.
The best new addition is a toss-up between Lifetime maps (because, as you said, "Roads change more often then you think.") and Traffic integration. Having the ability to adjust your route based off of Traffic and have all the "New" roads to choose from can save you HOURS on the road. Especially in the large metro areas (DC, LA, etc...).
Google Local Search
Find out where you'd like to go using real-time Google Local search. Then route to your searched location with a tap of the GO button.
That's the feature thats going to sell this bad boy right so plz hook me up TiPb
The Yelp integration look amazing. Yelp is an invaluable tool that is too often overlooked. Google local search is almost equally as nice. I love technology :-)
I like the Google search. Working in real time - looking up hotels or restaurants while on the road is a nice addition.
Hands down the best feature is Google Local Search. If I am in an area and looking for particular shop, all I have to do is do local search and voila, I can use GPS to drive to the location.
I am most interested in the new UI as that seems like something most companies have the most problems with.
Google Local Search already exists in my current Navigon navigator and has for a while, so I'm not too impressed by that.
It's hard not to pick the Google Local Search complete with "GO" button as the best new feature... so I'll just give in and do it! Very cool feature!
Magellan has made a great many improvements that sets it apart from other navigation apps. The new screens look awesome!
All of it! Compared to what I am using - MapQuest 4, winning this app would be like the lottery! I do have to say the Google Local Search would be sweet to have in a navigation app.
I love the clear signage for directions. This is an app that I could really use to get around an unfamiliar metronarea.
Google Local search and Lifetime Map updates brings Magellan closer to being on par with TomTom. Throwing in the Yelp feature sweetens the deal!
Liking the lifetime maps and UI. Would be interesting to compare this to Navigon for offline maps or MapQuest for online routing (which I find myself using more than Navigon).
Love the icon and the simplicity. Now I can throw away my TomTom, also really like how you can easily search for venues and destinations, browse user ratings, and decide where to go and route to it, all from within the app.
Integration with Yelp is a real plus ... seamless! Life-time updates is a close second. Thanks for the opportunity to snag a copy.
Yelp and Google integration are a must. Local search on top if the great UI make it hard to beat in nav apps. Thanks!
Definitely has to be the Lifetime Map Updates for me. I travel a lot with my job. Roads change every time I visit Tennessee or Georgia. This handy dandy app would be the most appreciated of any price I could ever receive from TiPb. I could eliminate the need for a separate GPS on every trip. Thanks and best wishes to whom ever wins!
I have to say I love the Yelp! integration as that will allow the wife and I the ability to discover the "little spots" on our trips and build unique, non-McDonald's memories!
Looking for more news and reviews about technology.....
Please visit....www.TweeTech.blogspot.comwww.ZanDalPeDiA.blogspot.comwww.TecZillA.blogspot.com
I have a "competitors" app - and I cant stand it. Its so nice to see a company that is actually updating their iPhone apps and that shows the total distance remaining until your destination.
As for updates: Im glad that they integrated Yelp into the RoadMate App. My wife and I are big "food" people; we love to eat out. Magellan already had a pretty decent list of POIs, but having this integration would keep me from having to look up reviews on restaurants while out of town in a separate web browser. Nice Touch! :)
definitely love the new UI, but think the Yelp integration is cool as well. Had a tire with low air in downtown Nashville one night and had no idea where any gas stations were that would be close by... downloaded and installed Yelp and it was a big help in finding some gas stations so I could get air in my tires!
I really like Lifetime Maps cause living in Chicago with all the road construction it will be real useful.
Love this review, but i haven't purchased the app as of yet. The reviews really help but not real sure it is worth $39? A lot of money to spend on an app that is eventually sent to the back pages of the app files
I just got back from a trip I could have really used this app. Atlanta, GA is a tough place to navigate without being very familiar with Atlanta or having a GPS. I would love to have this for my travels.
Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the updating maps! My dad's Garmin still tells us to drive south on the street we live on... and it's a one way going north XD
Google Search integration and the Yelp integration are killer! Top that off with map updates and this is amazing!
Megellan defines "lifetime" as a maximum of 3 years (per the App Store description), so "lifetime" updates aren't really lifetme updates.
Now with that said, I'm looking forward to testing out the new features.
Google local search FTW. It's a useful feature that should be integrated in all GPS smartphone apps. Magellan has a winner here.
Lifetime maps - big thumbs up. Yelp and Google integration - very useful! With Navigon maybe disappearing, I'd love to give this a try.
I like the integration with Google Local Search. The ability to get localized information about WHERE you are is key.
I like the discount coupon feature the best. Navigation apps are too expensive for many of us. I hope those who win them find they are sufficient for buying versions of the program for their friends or family (since I assume most will own a copy).
I'm hoping they pick a winner soon, if I don't win I'd like to be able to take advantage of their sale price going on right now - But I'd really rather win and brag how wonderful TiPb is. I'm looking forward to not getting lost again - Did I ever tell you I was supposed to pick up my husband from his work and I was at a conference for my work and when I got on the freeway I went the wrong direction and didn't know it for 30 minutes - so I had to go back and I was 2 hours late picking him up because I didn't know how to get there.

Love Acai Teas | December 06, 2012 |
Alice in NH Canterbury, NH |
I love the Acai green teas - decaf and regular. They are delicious! I just wish that we could get the decaf in loose leaf in bulk, I hate having to use bags. |
3 Stars |
Not as good as the original | December 05, 2012 |
I love the original Acai Green Tea (with caffeine) and drank it daily until the doctor told me to practically eliminate caffeine from my diet. Loving the other so much, I bought this version (decaf). I was a bit dissapointed with the decaf as it wasn't as strong as the regular version. It still had a good Acai taste, but to get the strength I like I could only use the tea bag once, whereas the I could get 2 cups out of one tea bag of regular. |

Great antioxidant! | June 20, 2012 |
Deb West Mifflin, PA |
I love this tea for boosting the immune system. When anyone in my family has a cold, this soothes our symptoms. Duration of our cold seems to be shorter. |

I, like the others, really enjoyed the taste. I expecte the aforementioned fruit to actually be in the tea. Sort of like an American flag made in China. Not quite genuine |

Absolutely love this tea! | November 20, 2011 |
Elizabeth Puyallup, WA |
I spent my entire weekend sipping on this tea during our conference @the Alderbrook Resort & Spa in Washington. I even got the coffee drinker's @ my table addicted to this tea as well ;) I have to say too, that I also am a tad bit disappointed that there isn't actual Acai berries in it, just Acai flavoring...although that won't keep me from further purchases but it would be nice to add it ;) Thank you! |

U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Topanga, California |
Topanga is a census-designated place[2] in western Los Angeles County, California, USA. It is located in the Santa Monica Mountains. Occupying Topanga Canyon, it is often referred to by that name. Topanga is bounded on three sides by State Park or conservancy lands, and on the south by the Pacific Ocean and a small strip of Malibu, which is the main community to the west. On the east is Pacific Palisades. Topanga had a population of 8,289 as of 2010. The ZIP code is 90290 and the area code is primarily 310, with 818 only at the north end of the canyon. It is in the 3rd County Supervisorial district.
Topanga Canyon[edit]
Topanga Creek drains Topanga Canyon and is the third largest watershed entering the Santa Monica Bay.[3] The creek is one of the few remaining undammed waterways in the area, and is a spawning ground for steelhead trout. The area typically receives about 22" of rain annually.[4] Topanga Beach[5] lies on the coast at the outlet of Topanga Creek. Topanga Canyon Boulevard, State Route 27, is the principal thoroughfare, connecting the Ventura Freeway (US 101) with Pacific Coast Highway (SR 1). The southern portion of the boulevard largely follows Topanga Creek. North of the Old Topanga Canyon Road intersection, the boulevard traverses the Santa Monica Mountains.
Topanga Canyon contains lands of both Topanga State Park, which is the largest park in the Santa Monica Mountains, and the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy. It is part of the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.
Topanga is the name given to the area by the Native American indigenous Tongva tribe,[6] and may mean "a place above". It was the western border of their territory, abutting the Chumash tribe that occupied the coast from Malibu northwards. Bedrock mortars can be found carved into rock outcroppings in many locations.
Topanga was first settled by Europeans in 1839.[7] In the 1920s, Topanga Canyon became a weekend getaway for Hollywood stars with several cottages built for that purpose. The rolling hills and ample vegetation served to provide both privacy and attractive surroundings for the rich and famous.
During the 1960s, Topanga Canyon became a magnet to many new artists. In 1965 Wallace Berman settled in the area. For a time, Neil Young lived in Topanga, first living with producer David Briggs then later buying his own house. He would record most of his After the Gold Rush album in his basement studio in 1970. Charles Manson had previously been living in Topanga, where he had briefly befriended both Neil Young and Dennis Wilson of The Beach Boys. Members of "Manson's family" began their campaign of murder on July 31, 1969 with the murder of Topanga resident Gary Hinman, a music teacher who had opened his home to anyone needing shelter.
The Topanga Corral was a nightclub that featured an eclectic mix of performers, including then Topanga locals Canned Heat, Spirit, Little Feat, Spanky and Our Gang, Taj Mahal, Emmylou Harris, Etta James, Windance, Neil Young, and Crazy Horse, Geronimo Black, and many others. It is rumored that Jim Morrison was inspired to write "Roadhouse Blues" about the drive up Topanga Canyon Boulevard to The Corral. Later in the 1970s, after being destroyed by fire and rebuilt, the club featured many up and coming bands from the L.A. punk scene. In 1986, the Corral again burned to the ground and was not rebuilt. Today, many musicians, artists and actors continue to make Topanga their home.
Due to its location in the Santa Monica Mountains, Topanga is a favorite spot for hikers, as well as bicycle, and motorcycle riders/racers. Many movie/TV car/bike chases were filmed on the winding road with the picturesque cliffs in the background. The thick vegetation, steep terrain and frequent (and dry) Santa Ana winds combine to make Topanga an extreme fire danger.
Topanga State Park is one of the largest open space preserves surrounded by a city in the world. It primarily represents a California coastal sage and chaparral ecoregion, with large areas of the California oak woodland plant community, boasting a wide variety of native plants. Streams, waterfalls, cliffs of exposed bedrock, landmark rock outcroppings, and overlooks with panoramic views of the mountains, Pacific Ocean, and urban carpet of Los Angeles. There are many trails for short walks, hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, birdwatching, and rock climbing. The main entrance and parking are near central Topanga.[8]
Topanga is known as a bohemian enclave attracting artists, musicians, and others. Numerous music festivals have been organized in the canyon, including the Topanga Days Festival and Topanga Earth Day.
In the 1950s blacklisted actor Will Geer had to sell his large Santa Monica home and move his family to a small plot in the canyon where they could grow their own produce. Geer's friend Woody Guthrie had a small shack on the property. They unintentionally founded what became an artists' colony. Since its founding in 1973, the Geer family has continued to operate the Will Geer Theatricum Botanicum. It has grown into an Equity theater, and occupies a natural outdoor amphitheater.

Lower Topanga Canyon[edit]
The bottom of Topanga Canyon, where it meets Pacific Coast Highway and the ocean, was owned for many years by the Los Angeles Athletic Club, a wealthy private club in downtown Los Angeles. The 1,659 acre (6.7 km2) parcel was rented out to a variety of businesses and residents for decades at remarkably low rents, considering that it borders the city of Malibu. Thus Lower Topanga became unique as one of the last outposts of the classic Topanga Canyon bohemian hippie lifestyle.
The Chumash considered Lower Topanga a sacred, economic, and cultural meeting place for tribes all along the coast. One of the main neighborhoods, the "Rodeo Grounds," takes its name from an actual rodeo arena that existed there on a Mexican Ranch in the 1800s. (Another neighborhood, "The Snake Pit," was named both for its abundance of rattlesnakes and for the shifty characters who passed through like Charles Manson.)
In the early 1900s, Lower Topanga was a Japanese fishing village. William Randolph Hearst owned the property for a time and turned it into a weekend getaway spot with beach shacks for his and Marion Davies' guests.
Famous residents of Lower Topanga include Humphrey Bogart, Peter Lorre, Bertolt Brecht, Carole Lombard, Shirley Temple, Johnny Weissmuller, and Ida Lupino.
In the '60s, a lively community of artists and surfers sprang up in Lower Topanga. They maintained their houses without assistance: sometimes digging them out of the mud after floods, or setting backfires to prevent a spreading wildfire from burning down their neighborhood. The roads remained unpaved.[13]
In 2001, Lower Topanga was sold to California State Parks. Even though the Lower Topanga community occupied less than 2% of the total purchased land, State Parks had an aggressive policy to relocate everyone and bulldoze all of the houses. (State Parks had already evicted residents who lived directly on Topanga Beach in the late '70s.[14])
Arundo, a type of giant reed resembling bamboo that characterizes the Lower Topanga landscape, became a totemic plant for the residents because it was first on a long list of non-native plants that State Parks also condemned to be uprooted in an attempt to restore the land to its natural state.
A group of 10 Lower Topanga poets calling themselves the Idlers of the Bamboo Grove published a book of the same name in 2002, celebrating their community and lamenting the prospect of having to leave. Their publisher, Brass Tacks Press, continued publishing works about Lower Topanga, including The Snake Pit by Baretta (2006), Tool's Snake Pit by Tool (2007), Rohloff's Snake Pit by Chris Rohloff (2009), and Topanga Beach Experience: 1960s-70s by Paul Lovas and Pablo Capra (2011) -- as well as maintaining an online Lower Topanga Photo Archive.
In addition, Austrian filmmakers Natalie Lettner and Werner Hanak shot a documentary film about the neighborhood called Malibu Song (2006), and Topangan Anastasia Fite shot a shorter documentary called Last Bastion (2009).
Even though Lower Topanga residents were given money to leave, some fought bitterly against their relocation in court. However, the last holdouts were forced off the land in March 2006.[15]
Government and infrastructure[edit]
The Los Angeles County Fire Department operates Fire Station #69 in Topanga as a part of Battalion 5.[16]
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) operates the Malibu/Lost Hills Station in Calabasas, serving Topanga.[17][18]
The United States Postal Service Topanga Post Office is located at 101 South Topanga Canyon Boulevard.[19]
The County of Los Angeles Public Library operates the Topanga Library located on 122 N Topanga Canyon Blvd.
Most Topanga residents are zoned to schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District.[20][21]
- Topanga Elementary School
- A choice between Revere Charter Middle School or Woodland Hills Academy (formerly known as Parkman Middle School)
- A choice between Palisades Charter High School and Taft High School[22]
The area is within Board District 4.[23] As of 2010 Steve Zimmer represents the district.[24]
Some portions are in the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District (SMMUSD). Those portions are zoned to Webster Elementary School and Malibu High School.[25]
Natural disasters[edit]
- November 6, 1961, The Santa Ynez Fire began, the same day as the Bel-Air–Brentwood Fire further east. It burned nine structures and 9,720 acres (39 km2) of watershed.
- Topanga Creek causes occasional flooding and extensive road erosion, requiring the closure of Topanga Canyon Boulevard. In 1980, severe flooding washed out large sections of the road at the bottom of the "s" curves. Traffic was severely restricted during the six months of repairs.
- November 2, 1993, The Old Topanga Fire. Within an hour, had burned 1,000 acres (4 km2). It resulted in the largest mobilization of emergency resources in a 24-hour period in California history. By the time it was extinguished 10 days later, 16,516 acres (67 km2) of watershed and at least 388 structures were burned in Topanga and adjoining areas.
- In 1997–8 Topanga Canyon received over 58" of rainfall resulting in extensive flood damage.
- In 2005, a fire referred to as the "Topanga Fire" burned in Chatsworth and points south and west of Chatsworth. This fire did not burn any areas in Topanga Canyon, but was named due to its origin near the intersection of Topanga Canyon Boulevard (SR 27) and the Ronald Reagan Freeway (SR 118) in Chatsworth.

Spencer Rascoff, CEO of online real estate site Zillow, spoke at the inaugural J-Tech event on Sept. 4.
On the upper floor of a squat, non-descript building in the heart of South Lake Union sit several startup technology companies that work, side by side, in a big room filled with the silent tapping of keyboards and teammates huddled in discussion. In the basement is an event space, complete with whiteboards, wet bar, a ping-pong table, and enough room that a hundred or so local Jews connected to the tech world can meet, drink, and hear from members of their own community. That was the idea behind the opening event for J-Tech, and the turnout exceeded its organizers' expectations threefold. "We were looking at 30 people, and we ended up at 100 people, which is pretty spectacular," said event organizer Kevin Nider, online communications manager for the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle. The idea for J-Tech actually started more than a year ago, with Joshua "Red" Russak. Russak's own startup resides in that upstairs room — an entrepreneurs' concierge service called StartupSeattle. He created a group last year on online networking site meetup.com as "kind of as a joke," he said, but left it at that. Other pressing concerns kept him from following up until Nider and David Chivo, the Federation's Center for Jewish Philanthropy's vice president, came calling. "Given their Rolodex of who they know in the community, and my ability to really tie together the community…we paired up," Russak said. As a draw for J-Tech's debut event, the organizers pulled out the big guns: Spencer Rascoff, CEO of the popular online real estate site Zillow, spent 20 minutes talking about the company's recent initial public offering and how his career and knowledge in the tech space have evolved. Before and after Rascoff spoke, the attendees chatted and traded business cards over beers and hors d'oeuvres. Shayna Rosen, a development associate for the Federation, said having an affinity group for tech professionals like it does for doctors or lawyers should be a natural fit in a city like Seattle. "Most of us have been wondering for a while, 'Where's our tech group?'" Rosen said. "We did know that we needed to be very careful and do it differently [than those groups], because this is a very unique group of people with unique wants and unique styles of getting together." So in addition to the Federation using its normal communications channels to bring in the audience, Russak used his network of contacts to spread the word. "The people who came to this event came because they knew someone who asked them," Rosen said. "It was very grassroots based." While by almost any measure the event can be billed as a success, the founders of J-Tech see it as only the first step in an evolving group that they hope will yield fruit not just for the organizations that planned it, but for the attendees as well. "As an entrepreneur, it's like a religion on its own and I want to know who's in that club," Russak said, "and when I go to my Jewish community, I want to know, these are the other players. It's a community within a community. It's an internal support system." Russak sees this sub-community as a group of people who understand each other, but he also said he believes the high level of expectation for success within the Jewish community allows for mentorship opportunities that might not be found elsewhere. "There are people who beg to meet Spencer Rascoff, and here he is, coming up humbly and speaking at a Jewish meet-up, and I get five minutes with him to talk about my startup? That doesn't happen unless there's that point of connection," he said. Ultimately, he said, he wants to see the relationships people create within J-Tech to expand outside of the group. But like every startup that works furiously to improve upon its product for its next release, J-Tech must do the same. Russak envisions building a mentorship program beyond the meetup.com group. Nider and Rosen envision, in addition to a second event planned for December, smaller meetups as well as a repository to match local Jewish organizations in need of technical help with volunteers who can provide the service. "The way that this will be successful and continue to be successful is with the right people connected, and the right people with the right networks," Rosen said.

Mix up a sports drink
It seems as if powdered sports drinks and supplements are becoming more and more common. But mixing them up doesn't always end with a tasty drink: they're hard to dissolve entirely in liquid and can leave grit at the bottom of the glass. The Sports Drink Mixer makes those drinks easier to get down. It quickly mixes and dissolves any sports powders. It's not too different from mixing up your drinks on your own: you measure the liquid and the powder into the glass and fasten on the lid. From there, you push a button and the … Read more

Sara Braverman and Miranda Hobbes there was Ann Romano, divorced single mom to teen girls Barbara and Julie on the show "One Day at a Time." Portraying her with equal parts sweetness and sass was petite redhead Bonnie Franklin, who died today from complications of pancreatic cancer at just 69.
PHOTOS: Notable Deaths of 2013
The show, developed by Norman Lear, ran for nine seasons from 1975 to 1984. Its premise was simple—divorced woman in her 30s builds new life for herself and her girls (played by whacked out Mackenzie Philips and baby Valerie Bertinelli) in Indianapolis—but it packed a complex punch.
"Franklin's character wasn't the first divorced woman on network television but the role, like those of other characters in Lear's groundbreaking sitcoms, was infused with a new level of social realism," noted an Los Angeles Times obit today.
That was especially important for a little girl, like yours truly, growing up in the 'burbs with a mom and a dad who liked each other. "One Day at a Time" was one of the first shows (and I watched them all) to teach me about other types of families (Three girls? Period?), living situations (A "super"? Named Schneider?), and different ways of relating to a mom, like watching her date and struggle financially and competing with her for the male gaze.
The show bravely tackled a slew of grownup issues, from boys who want you to "go all the way" to drug overdoses and Grateful Dead concerts and bad influences and even artificial insemination. It was exciting! Empowering! But safe, too, because you knew that mom Romano always had her girls' backs.
And then, of course, there was that song—"This is it! This is life, the one you get, so go on, have a ball!"—just the first joyous piano plunks of which let you know that you were in for a wild, awesome, 30-minute ride.
Thanks, Bonnie, for helping us hold on tight and muddle through.

Hey SI,
A lot of you might not know me but I've been around on this site for a long time now. I joined the site way back in 2006. This was the first website I ever signed up at. I was looking for cheats for the F-16 Fighting Falcon game (an old flight sim from Novalogic) and I landed here somehow. I was, I think, 13 years old and I fell in love with this place. This was the website I visited all the time and this was the only community I knew.
I'm so thankful to a lot of people here. First off, Kres, I owe you tons. You took on an impulsive brat as staff and paid him for his first ever proper keyboard. I still owe you that $20; I think I always will. To this day, if there is anything I'm ever proud of, it's the fact that I worked for StrategyInformer. I'd love to be staff again but I guess it's all long gone now. Thanks for everything Kres. :')
Next, HellKnight. I don't know if he is here anymore but he was probably my best friend here. We've exchanged steady messages over the years and till now I've never really gotten to know him. It's a shame really. If any of you are in touch with him, tell him hunter612 says hi.
SiyaenSokol (what the hell man, what did you do to your old username?!) you were the guy who introduced me to Starcraft II. I don't play it anymore (in fact I don't game anymore at all) but thanks for introducing me to an awesome game and being an awesome friend.
Looks like Wowerine is gone too. He was a great friend and a funny guy. :)
Herodotus, I never really got to know you but now I wish I had. You're one of the biggest pillars of the SI community. Thanks for posting the 'On This Day In History' threads every single day. I'm pretty sure if you compile all the posts, you can publish a book now. :)
I never really got to know a lot of people here. Perhaps I came off as a lame guy or maybe I just didn't fit. But I'm very glad to have known the people I knew here and I'll always cherish the memories.
Haha, this reminds me, if any of you look at all the messages I've sent you, you'll literally see a boy growing up into a man (a man-child perhaps?). So many, many years here, it brings tears to my eyes. It seemed like yesterday that I was sending my first message to Kres about something nonsensical in the broken English I had back then.
I've been addicted to the internet for so long but it has worn off now. I no longer feel the impulsive need to come online. It is a small victory for me in a battle fought over many years. As a result, I have steadily reduced my online footprint until, right now, only my SI account, an email ID, a messenger and a forum ID remain.
I've retired from gaming. The urge is gone. It looks like I've changed. Now I can only fondly think of gaming. I'm like, "Nah. We've played enough for one lifetime", when I think of installing a new game. I've stopped following the gaming news as well.
With that in mind, I've come to say goodbye to you all. I've come to say goodbye to SI. This is my walk into the sunset; my walk into another lifetime. Hunter612's ashes float away. It makes me feel melancholic. After all these many, many years, I've not even changed my display picture here.
I'll check the account tomorrow for the last time. If any of you wish to keep in touch with me, please send me your e-mail ID's and I'll add you. Kres, if you're reading this, and if you can, please close my account on Monday.
I will miss you all and SI very dearly. This was not an easy decision but to move on completely I must do it. I hope you understand the chagrin I'm going through and remember that even small things are very special.
Goodbye StrategyInformer.

The Broncos and Cowboys got back to it this afternoon, kicking off the second practice at around 4:30. At an hour and a half long, the afternoon session was a little shorter than the morning one, and after individual team drills, the two teams came together for two 11-on-11 periods with a special teams segment wedged in between.
ATTENDANCE REPORT: In addition to the players out of pads during the morning session, a number of Broncos veterans got their normal afternoon off. Ebenezer Ekuban, Darrell Jackson, Dewayne Robertson, Brandon Stokley and Casey Wiegmann joined their injured teammates on the sidelines.
POSTURING FOR POSITION: The lineups were the same for the most part, but with both Nalen and Wiegmann out, P.J. Alexander and Kory Lichtensteiger rotated at the center position. Kenny Peterson worked with the starting defense in the place of Robertson.
MATCHUPS: As with this morning, each field had a different set of drills, so we combined "Focal Points" and "Key Plays" into one category. Here is the breakdown of how each competition went down.

Luke Scott returned to the Rays lineup last Tuesday, which made people happy. Maybe none more than Jose Lobaton, but that's for different reasons.
He was signed during the offseason to be the Rays primary designated hitter. Anyone who has followed the franchise's history knows that is a treacherous proposition.
American League teams have been able to use the DH since 1973. The Rays have used it in the most literal sense possible, as in they've designated a player to hit for the pitcher every game and let him stand in the batter's box. The "hitting" part is where they've ran into a problem. Here are the Rays DH ranks from 1998-2012
Total |
Rank |
0.244 |
14th |
0.328 |
14th |
0.422 |
14th |
wRC+ |
98 |
14th |
8.2 |
14th |
wOBA |
0.327 |
14th |
That's not 14 out of 30 since, yanno, the National League doesn't use the designated hitter. That's dead last in the American League. The closest team in WAR are the Twins at 13.6, more than six WAR better. Not that it's a fair comparison since DH's never have huge WAR years due to their lack of defense, but the 8.2 WAR is the lowest of any position in the AL over the past 15 years - only the Royals' shortstop (10.5) makes a run at them. Despite the last place showing there have been some good individual performances.
In 1999 Jose Canseco put up a full season's worth of numbers, 34 HR and .931 OPS in just 113 games. Aubrey Huff was excellent in 2002 hitting .313 with an .884 OPS in 53 games at the position. Jonny Gomes had a robust .906 OPS and 140 OPS+ in 407 plate appearances in 2005. Uncle Cliffy Floyd was more than serviceable in 2008 as he swaggered his way to an .804 OPS and 111 OPS+ in 80 games. There's been some talent there, it's just never been sustained.
Aside from Gomes, and Huff for the one season, the Rays haven't had any young blood at the position. That's pretty standard, though, as there aren't many Billy Butlers or Jesus Monteros around. It's also not in the Rays' draft philosophy, at least in the past seven or so years, to select players who don't have much/any defensive value. A great athlete, or one who is able to play numerous positions at an average or above average level is more valuable to them. The closest player I can remember the Rays ever producing is Gomes. You can argue Delmon Young, but being a DH, which he is with the Tigers, was never the plan with him.
Another reason the Rays don't have a good history with DH's? It's tough to find a good one. The Red Sox were fortunate the Twins released David Ortiz. The Royals drafted Butler. Edwin Encarnacion was too incompetent with a glove to stick in the National League. The only DH that has done really well this season that was signed to a big free agent contract is Adam Dunn. Paying a high price for a DH isn't in the Rays financial model. They tried medium range deals with Pat Burell and Scott and so far that has yet to work out. Scott, despite his .283 on base percentage has managed a 103 OPS+ thanks to a .445 slugging percentage when he's been able to stay on the field.
The team obviously needs a DH, unless Joe Maddon wants to really flip the script on the system. So, what's the answer? Sadly, there really doesn't seem to be one. With the franchise's current financial state the only options available will be middle-aged sluggers from the slighty used bin. You just have to hope to strike it rich.

LONDON: Germans Jonas Reckermann and Julius Brink won a thrilling final against Brazilian top seeds Emanuel Rego and Alison Cerutti Thursday to become Europe's first ever Olympic beach volleyball champions.
Emanuel was bidding to reclaim the title he won alongside Ricardo Santos in Athens in 2004, but despite a second-set rally, the Brazilians fell 23-21, 16-21, 16-14 in an enthralling and keenly balanced encounter.
Bronze medalists at last year's World Championships in Rome, when Emanuel and Alison won gold, the German twosome succeed Americans Phil Dalhausser and Todd Rogers as Olympic champions.
In the four previous Olympic men's finals, Spain's Javier Bosma and Pablo Herrera, runners-up in 2004, had been the only team to break the Brazilian-American hegemony in the event.
In front of 15,000 raucous and appreciative fans inside the purpose-built open-air arena at London's Horse Guards Parade, the teams matched each other stride for stride in a taut first set.
The Brazilians procured two set points but squandered both of them, and when Emanuel gifted Germany a set point by sending the ball long, Reckermann needed no second invitation to power home a set-winning smash.
Stung into action, the Brazilian pair upped their game in the second set, streaking into a healthy lead and producing a string of breathtaking shots as they leveled the match.
Reckermann and Brink nosed ahead in the deciding set and although Brazil saved three match points, the Germans finally prevailed on their fourth match point to land a seismic blow for European beach volleyball.
With Thursday's final, beach volleyball leaves Horse Guards Parade, the parade ground that hosts Queen Elizabeth II's birthday celebrations and backs onto Number 10 Downing Street, home of British Prime Minister David Cameron.
Martins Plavins and Janis Smedins earlier won Latvia's first ever Olympic beach volleyball medal and first medal of the London Games by fighting back from behind to win the bronze play-off.
The Latvian duo came from a set and 8-3 down to sink Dutch pair Reinder Nummerdor and Rich Schuil 19-21, 21-19, 15-11.
"The result is unbelievable for Latvia," said Plavins.
"When we were down five points in the second set, I spoke to Janis and said that we just need to keep on trying for Latvia and see what happens."
