CHARLESTON, W.Va. - A meth lab bust resulted in the suspect also being served with a warrant charging him in the tossing of a puppy from a pickup truck last fall.
Timothy Loudermilk, 53, of North Charleston was charged Wednesday with attempting to operate a meth lab, but a check for warrants revealed an outstanding felony charge in Boone County.
Loudermilk was indicted in April on a felony animal cruelty charge stemming from an October incident, Boone Chief Deputy Chad Barker said.
He was arraigned on that charge Wednesday in Boone Circuit Court, according to a clerk in the Boone Circuit Clerk's office.
Deputies K.D. McCarty and A.D. Keadle were patrolling W.Va. 94 in the Lens Creek area the morning of Oct. 14.
The northbound deputies were two vehicles behind a yellow Ford pickup loaded with junk when they saw a small black and white puppy be thrown from the passenger side window, according to a complaint filed in Boone Magistrate Court.
The puppy rolled along the asphalt, bleeding from the nose and mouth, deputies wrote in the complaint. The pickup kept going as the deputies stopped to help the puppy, which could not stand on its own.
"We take crimes against animals seriously," Barker said. "We get animal complaints pretty regularly and always have a deputy follow up. Sometimes there's something to it, and other times there isn't."
Then-Sheriff Rodney Miller said at the time that residents said dogs often were dumped in the area.
The officers rushed the puppy to the Animal Emergency Clinic in South Charleston, where it was treated for minor injuries and adopted by one of the clinic workers, Barker said.
Deputies posted the puppy's picture on the department's Facebook page. Officers received a tip on the truck's whereabouts and a possible suspect less than a week later, on Oct. 20.

We just got our advance copies of Ellen Forney's Lust here at the office. Ellen picked hers up yesterday and posted this photo on her blog (Spongebob band-aid and all). Looks sharp! It'll be available in January; you can pre-order it now.
The First Post excerpts Jason's latest comic masterpiece, the graphic novella I Killed Adolf Hitler. This is one of my favorite Jason books yet, a genre-bending time travel story that is a masterpiece of economy. Jason gets in and gets out like nobody's business. No chicken fat here. Read these first ten pages and see for yourself.

As the designer of Paul Karasik's "I Shall Destroy All the Civilized Planets" I can tell you that there were dozens of directions considered for this cover design. I share Karasik's reverence for Fletcher Hanks and this final, spare white cover design [above, left] resulted from our joint response to how Hanks' work is most succinctly communicated. At the core his style is awkward but unmistakable and carries with it a baron, iconic force. His superheroes are omnipotent and dramatically unpredictable/unknowable.

Eastern Uganda's mountainous district of Kapchorwa has huge agricultural potential, but farmers perennially suffer crop losses due to vermin, poor or non-existent storage and drying facilities, and lack of transport (..). Vincent Rubarema, permanent secretary in the Ministry of Agriculture, Animal Husbandry and Fisheries, recently accompanied officials from the UN World Food Programme (WFP) and the US Agency for International Development (USAID) to Kapchorwa where a five-year initiative funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is trying to address some of the problems.
19 January 2010
In a press release, the UN World Food Programme (WFP) attributed the high food prices in 2008 partly to the "competition (for land) between biofuels and food." (..) Stanlake Samkange, the WFP country director, said in an exclusive interview that although jatropha was a cash crop, there was need to balance it with food production. "Biofuels is not a bad move par se, but we want to be assured that food security will be guaranteed," he noted.
6 January 2010
The World Food Programme (WFP) has launched a stove project worth $1m (about sh1.8b) The fuel-efficient and improved mud stoves, which use less firewood, are expected to reduce risks of rape and attacks on women in the Internally Displaced Persons'(IDP) camps in Uganda and Sudan.
4 January 2010
The World Food Programme (WFP) bought $50m (about sh94.3b) food in Uganda last year, according to Stanlake Samkange, the country director. (..) "WFP has been spending $50m annually on buying food in the recent years. Buying local food has direct benefits for Uganda in terms of increasing agricultural productivity and boosting economic growth," Samkange noted (..).

As the sun's rays find their way into David Oguti's house through tiny holes in the iron roof, he turns once and gets out of bed (..). According to Food Agriculture Oganisation (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP), about seven million people faced varying degrees of food insecurity in the last few months.
23 December 2009
The World Food Programme (WFP) has entered into partnership with Sasakawa Global 2000 to train farmers on post-harvest handling practices. The first major partnership under the "purchase for progress (P4P initiative is targeting at least 3,200 farmers in Busoga and Lango regions.

Uganda sees the amount of maize handled on its commodities exchange rising by 150% to 10,000 metric tonnes in 2010, boosting the exchange which mostly trades the grain (..) UN World Food Programme buys about 90% of the maize handled at the exchange.
17 December 2009
The United Nations on Wednesday launched a pilot project to provide fuel-efficient stoves to some 150,000 women in Sudan and Uganda to cut the risks of murder, rape and other violence they face in gathering firewood, while at the same time protecting the environment. The SAFE stoves initiative, organized by the WFP and other UN agencies, will be rolled out next year to reach eventually up to 6 million refugees, IDPs and returnees in 36 nations, where they are forced to walk further and further into the bush into unsafe areas to collect firewood, UN officials said here.

MONTGOMERY, W.Va. -- Terrale Clark scored 15 points in the first half as WVU Tech took a 30-point lead en route to a 92-60 victory over overmanned and road-weary Maine at Fort Kent during a United States Collegiate Athletic Association game at the Neal Baisi Athletic Center on Thursday.
It was the 17th consecutive defeat spanning two seasons for the Bengals (0-15), who were playing the final game of a seven-day road trip that began last Saturday, included four games, crossed through seven states and covered more than 1,200 miles.
As for Tech (10-8), it was the Golden Bears' first game since a 79-65 victory over Shawnee State (Ohio) back on Dec. 17.
"This is a good first game back. We had a good week of practice," Tech Coach Bob Williams said. "The kids got to go home (for break) for a full two weeks. We played 17 games the first semester, I don't think anybody else in the country played that many games."
Former South Charleston standout Jaren Marino had 17 points to match Clark's 17, while David Rawlinson added 16.
Clark scored five of Tech's first nine points, and Marino had a putback with 9:02 left in the first half for a 25-7 lead for the hosts. Back-to-back steals and dunks by Marino and Clark pushed the advantage to 29-7 with 8:18 remaining in the first half.
Despite the lopsided victory, Williams was thinking about how to improve his team.
"We need some help inside," he said, "but I thought our defense was really good in the first half. I'm not happy they scored 60."
The help will come in the form of 6-foot-6 forward Jauries Thomas, a Louisiana native who averaged 11.1 points per game last season for Delgado Community College.

Gendering the Acousmêtre Or, "There is no such thing as Woman"
Soumitra Ghosh
In his study of the ontological status of sound in cinema, Michel Chion points out that his interests lie with the human voice; more specifically, Chion is interested in that form of (human) voice in cinema which is "neither entirely inside nor clearly outside" (4). In other words, Chion seeks to theorize the ontology of voice as that particular sonic event which does not fully coincide with the representation of its material-objectival cause in the visual domain. Borrowing from Pierre Schaeffer, Chion uses the word "acousmatic" to signify the partial status—in the experiential field of the human subject—of the voice in its ontological and experiential manifestation. Following Chion's discussion of the significance of "acousmatic voice"—especially that of a female acousmêtre—in cinema, a particularly salient example of the power of the acousmatic voice might be found in the 1960 pseudo-documentary The Savage Eye (Dir. Ben Maddow). However, in order to properly understand the ways in which the acousmatic voice is employed in this film, one needs to first take a detour through the topography of the acousmatic voice.
Although it might appear, prima facie, that Chion's formulation insists on the placement of the acousmatic voice within the aural/oral register only, it soon becomes clear that Chion's conceptualization of the acousmatic voice engages the aural/oral register with the visual register. However, the nature of this engagement—and consequently the ontological status of the acousmatic voice—is deeply problematic, as Chion's elaboration on the "complete acousmêtre" points out: it is "the one who is not-yet-seen, but who remains liable to appear in the visual field at any moment" (21). The acousmatic voice, according to this formulation, is that which stages an aural "missed encounter" in the visual domain; it is a point in the field of vision that is yet to reveal itself to the subject. Given this paradoxical juxtaposition of the visual and the aural/oral registers, one wonders about the locus of the acousmatic voice.
It is in context of this structural paradox that one understands the significance of the "neither-nor" condition that Chion posits apropos the locus of the acousmatic voice. The acousmatic voice, as such, exists precisely in this in-between locus: ontologically, it is neither fully sonic, nor is it fully visual. However, critical to our understanding of the locus of the acousmatic voice is its possibility to "appear … at any moment." It follows from Chion's formulation that the acousmatic voice is fundamentally negative: as such, it has not yet appeared—it is always already in the process of appearing. Thus, the acousmatic voice is nothing but a promise of presence: its core must be engendered by the absent capture of the "neither-nor" formation. Insofar as the acousmatic voice remains fundamentally promissory—not yet revealed—it simultaneously continues to frustrate and titillate the subject, for whom the acousmatic voice is always something to-be-had. In the simultaneity of frustration and titillation subsists the unique seductive power of the acousmatic voice—as Chion points out when he says that such sonic events "gain the spotlight, for they are perceived in their singularity and isolation" (4). Clearly, the acousmatic voice lures the subject through its "promise": a guarantee of full access that lies beyond the promise. As such, this "promise of a beyond that guarantees full access" is analogous to the function of the Lacanian objet petit a: the object/cause of desire.
Slavoj Žižek formulates the objet petit a as that which "can never be attained … is always missed; all we can do is encircle it" (4). The objet petit a is therefore not the finite object after which the subject runs; rather, it is the infinite structure that frames—as a closed set—all the possible finite objects after which the subject might run. Insofar as the objet petit a holds the infinite number of (replaceable) finite objects within its frame, it lures the subject with the possibility/promise of "complete satisfaction," if the subject is able to access it. If we apply this formulation of objet petit a to our understanding of the acousmatic voice, we will be able to understand the full extent of its seductive power. The acousmatic voice qua object/cause of desire promises us a fantastically perfect juxtaposition of the visual and the aural registers: a coming-together of the (human) voice and the lips/face of the (human) subject that is the source of the sound.
Insofar as the acousmatic voice promises the fantasy scenario of the perfect juxtaposition of voice and face, it appeals to the primordial misrecognition of the Cartesian subject: a fantasy of being a "unified subject" at the center of the Derridean "metaphysics of presence." Žižek speaks precisely to this fantastic convergence of the visual and the oral/aural domain apropos the birth of subjectivity when he rewrites the "metaphysics of presence" is "'seeing oneself looking' in the mode of 'hearing oneself speaking'" (95). Thus, when the acousmatic voice is represented in cinema, it occupies the crucial position that can engender—although through a fundamental misrecognition—the fantastic plentitude of the unified subject. However, we should never forget that precisely because the acousmatic voice is not a positive/finite entity it can offer to the (viewer) subject its inherent lack as a space to engage in the fantasy-act.
Insofar as the acousmatic voice offers the subject the "gift of lack," it re-enacts the function of the Lacanian Phallic Father, who, via castration, introduces the subject to the Symbolic order, and thereby constitutes the subject qua subject of desire.1 It might appear, therefore, that cinematic acousmatic voice will have to be a male voice: a sonic representation of the Phallic Father. However, Chion points out in his discussion of the female "scream" and the male "shout," that the acousmatic voice par excellence is the female "screaming" voice. If and when the female "scream" is present in the cinematic space, it does not remain contained in the body/face/lips of the female screamer. Rather, the "scream" as an instance of the acousmatic voice envelopes the cinematic space, in that the "scream" becomes that point between the aural and the visual registers which the cinematic narrative endlessly attempts to articulate/embody. The crucial point here is not that the acousmatic voice is seductive because it belongs to a woman: it is rather that the acousmatic voice par excellence is fundamentally feminine.
Consider, in this context, Lacan's formulation "There is no such thing as Woman" (72). This formulation does not claim that the feminine gender is non-existent. Rather, the formulation contends that Woman, as a category, cannot be universalized. In other words, Woman represents that fundamental impossibility which is analogous to the structure of the objet petit a. As such, both Woman and the objet petit a are beyond attainment. The subject can attain/have a finite object in the place of the objet petit a; similarly, the subject can attain/know a particular female subject in the place of Woman. If we apply the structural impossibility of Woman to the fundamental negativity of the acousmatic voice, then we will understand why the acousmatic voice par excellence is fundamentally feminine.
When a male and a female acousmatic voice co-exist in a cinematic space, our attention is called to the immensely seductive, centrifugal power of the feminine acousmêtre. The Savage Eye depends precisely on this contest between a male and a female acousmêtre.2 The film stages an interior dialogue between Judith—a young divorcé—and a male voice that identifies himself to Judith as "your God, your angel, your ghost." Although the male acousmêtre's voice becomes available to us as the film opens, the viewer is instantly and deeply captured when Judith's voice qua acousmatic voice appears. A close-up shot of Judith's face—non-coincidental with the feminine voice—introduces the viewer to the acousmatic presence of Judith. The off-hand, matter-of-fact, objective quality of the male acousmêtre's voice instantly transforms into a passionate, eager and inquisitive tone, as he keeps talking to Judith. In contrast to the volubility of the male acousmêtre, Judith's acousmatic voice appears meager. As if determined to elicit from Judith a positive response to his questions, the male acousmêtre assumes an aggressive, almost hectoring tone. However, in his desire to possess Judith by dominating the feminine acousmatic voice, the male acousmêtre loses its status as the acousmatic voice: he reveals too much of himself. The film attempts to restrain the seductive feminine acousmêtre by attempting to obliterate Judith's bodily presence via a car accident. However, undefeated, the acousmatic voice of Judith assumes the tone and style of the male acousmêtre's voice. In a final act of desirous desperation, the male acousmêtre reveals himself once again by reappearing at the end of the film, only to be frustrated by Judith's strange agreement to what the male acousmatic voice has to say. Fundamentally, Judith's acousmatic voice remains unknowable, always already a "missed encounter."
Even though the limited scope of this analysis of the acousmatic voice reveals, in a fundamental way, the significant position of (human) voice, cinema studies, as a discipline, is still largely tethered to the analysis of the visual domain of an entity that is emphatically audio-visual. Moreover, the scholarly works that do pay attention to the aural register of cinema often miss the ontological partialness of (human) voice. Voice in cinema, when taken to be a finite, fully integrated and complete object—rather than as a part-object—can neither sufficiently reveal the topology of voice/sound, nor can it account for the object-causal role that voice/sound plays in engendering the seductive power of sound-cinema. My brief analysis of the ontology/topology of (human) voice—especially, that of the acousmatic voice—seeks to direct the attention of cinema scholarship to the analytical lacunae mentioned above. Rather than presenting an exhaustive ontological/topological analysis of voice, through this essay I merely wish to gesture towards the singular import of the study of (human) voice in cinema in revealing the way in which subjectivity is precipitated in and through representation.
1It is important to remember, however, that what the subject gives up in castration is not the real phallus; that which is castrated is the imaginary phallus. Therefore, the subject gives up something that s/he does not have in the first place. Consequently, the lack that castration introduces is not a lack in the real. However, what the introduction of the lack does is ultimately constitutive of the Symbolic subject: the lack transforms that which the subject does not have into that which the subject may have in future, precisely because it is something that has been "taken away" from him. Thus, lack creates positivity in retrospect for the subject.
2The Savage Eye, directed, written and edited by Ben Maddow, Sidney Meyers, and Joseph Strick, follows the aesthetic modes of the American cinema verite movement in the 1950s and '60s. In the film, the camera—at least initially in the documentary-objective mode—follows around a divorced woman through the mundane activities of her daily life. However, The Savage Eye ultimately takes a narrative form, whereby the central character, Judith (Barbara Baxley), journeys through the fantasies, failures and struggles of her own life towards some kind of resolution, which ultimately remains unavailable to the viewer. Throughout her physical journey through the nameless city, Judith seems to participate in a conversation with a male and a female acousmatic voice.

Poor customer service (phone and internet) Other Thoughts: The 3 year manufacturers warranty is a good selling point but what good is it when Biostar doesn't even have tech support for an RMA. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good set of features, good value.Pros: I bought one of these for use in a plain vanilla, not overclocked HTPC build. It offers a nice set of features for the price, and it works as advertised. The factory packaging is suitable for usual handling during shipment. Cons: No con with the one that I got, but others have been less fortunate. Other Thoughts: Everything on the board that I have tried to use works reliably. I haven't tried the USB 3 ports. Did you find this review helpful? |
doaPros: Got here quickly. RMA was painless Cons: Was getting lots of blue screens, and although it would still boot up, couldn't handle the blue screens. so I bought this board as a temp solution till I could afford a new build. Other Thoughts: I like newegg. Have been a customer for years. Not happy with the new pop ups when visiting the site. Most people are savvy enough to know that you can't get a new Ipad by answering 3 questions. It just gets in the way of getting doing to business. please stop Did you find this review helpful? |
Great for the pricePros: Used this motherboard for an HTPC [Processor: AMD A4-3300, RAM: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600, Case/PSU: APEX TM-524]. Everything assembled together easily and started right up. So far no real complaints. Cons: There is a 2-digit LCD on the board that supposedly displays the CPU temperature in hexadecimal, but the values sometimes do not make sense. For example, a display of 25 would be 2*16^1 + 5*16^0 = 37, which is a reasonable temperature (in Celsius). But sometimes the display reads for example 08, which would be 8C (too cold to be real), or if the first digit is actually a D and not a zero, D8 would be 216C, which is unrealistically hot. Also I never see any of the hexadecimal digits use A through F, which just seems like it's not working properly. Did you find this review helpful? |
D-O-Doggone-A!!!Pros: The lights on the board itself were pretty. Other than that, I wouldn't know since it didn't post. Cons: THE @#*&^ THING WOULDN'T $^#(% POST right out of the box!!! Other Thoughts: Well, this has been cathartic, but I'm still pretty fumed over the whole ordeal. Seriously, I am pretty frustrated with this first Biostar experience and will likely go back to sticking with ASUS and MSI. Did you find this review helpful? |
you get what you pay forPros: Cheap. USB3. Looks nice. Cons: Tech support is VERY poor. RAM will not OC as stated. Tried Every solution over the last year. Now giving A3 error(3A?) A3 is not listed in manual. The time is incorrect so it must be an RTC problem. I have been troubleshooting that problem with no success. I gave up on OC on the RAM. Now i give up on the Mobo. Other Thoughts: Do not buy it. Did you find this review helpful? |
Requires a 24 pin power supplyPros: Usual great service from Newegg. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Wish I had known PSUs came in 20 and 24 pin configurations. This mobo needs 24 pin. Did you find this review helpful? |
haunted boardPros: had all the features wanted for a good price Cons: the most unstable board i have ever had. i have built nearly a dozen pc's using ASUS or GIGABYTE boards with no problems in the last 3 years. this mobo looked good for an inexpensive FM1 build mainly for web and some low level graphic apps. purchased this board in june 2012. worked good right out of the box. fast forward to october this year, screen freezes after 30 minutes or so of use. then blue screen. did a bios upgrade, no change. contacted BIOSTAR tech and was told to remove 1 memory stick. no change. replaced the 8 gb (2x4) g-skill with a 2 gb CRUCIAL stick just for grins. pc worked ok for a few days, then refused to post at startup.. moved the memory around to new slot, got constant beeping from mobo with no post. whooooo, pc shut down all by itself while writing this review. scary. moved the 2gb stick to a 3rd slot and now is working ok, may have 2 dead memory slots out of 4. sending it to BIOSTAR for warranty repair. will upgrade this review if and when i get it back and test it. Other Thoughts: build is Did you find this review helpful? |
Terrible product.Pros: None. Cons: Dies quickly. Other Thoughts: So, I maybe the unfortunate party, since it's been longer than 30 days on this since I bought it, hooked up everything to it and realized my dvd drive had an ide hookup instead of a sata. No big deal, since everything started up fine the first round of turning it on. Get my sata dvd drive, at a killer price, hook it all up and nothing. It turns on, but there's no signal to my monitor. Tried the video card, it works fine, but the mother board is a horrible product. After a little trouble shooting, determined it's the mother board. DO NOT BUY! 0 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Internal USB3.0 Header to add Front Facing USB3.0!!!! Cons: Crucial Ballistix 1866 Memory wouldnt run at stated timing specs from Crucial Manufacturrer, but when I enable the AutoOC in BIOSTAR MoBo BIOS it works as stated @ 1866mhz....BUT AT WAY DIFFERENT MEMORY TIMINGS!!! Other Thoughts: Paired with AMD A8-3850, 4gb Crucial Ballistix 1866, OCZ Agility3 60gb, ASUS BluRay Drive, Rosewill 3.5 Drive USB 3.0 & MemCard Reader.....this beast boots in 26seconds to Windows7 Desktop and plays new games no problem!!!

Rockets like Ilyasova as a Stretch 4 and can swap him for Asik straight up but what will the Bucks do with both Asik and Sanders (who happens to have a poison pill extension - $3MM this yr and $11MM the following four yrs for a net cap expense of $9.4MM/yr) after signing Sanders to an extension last year. Sanders is still out with a hand injury which has really PO'd the Bucks since he was suppose to be the face of the franchise and now he's nothing more than a thug to the owner and possibly their more conservative fans in the central part of the country.The Bucks have Pachulia another two years after this season as well as a backup.
The C's can step in (perfect opportunity for Danny to benefit by helping two teams in need) and facilitate a trade to help both teams get what they want and need that can help the C's tremendously.
Asik, Bass, Lee & C's 1st Rd Pick 2015 to Bucks < Bucks get the Center they need and cover their loss of Ilyasova with Bass who is more playoff tested. While they are reluctant to deal Giannis for fear of a backlash from fans, Lee provides another capable SG. The owner is tired of losing and rebuilding and wants to be a playoff team now.
Ilyasova, Bucks 2nd Rd Pick 2014 & Faverini to Rockets < Rockets get the Stretch 4 they want and a backup center
Sanders, Ridnour & Antetokounmpo to Celtics < Celtics get a center for the future that can rebound and protect the rim as well as run with our wings for a net cost of $9.5MM/yr. Ridnour is an expiring contract needed to make the numbers work but if we are unable to keep Craw or a good trade opportunity comes along for Craw then we can resign Ridnour as a stop gap next season. The bonus is getting Giannis a 6'9" swingman still growing with plenty of upside. Danny will have to concede a 1st round draft pick (I've penciled in our 2015 but it could take one of our 2014) but it will be worth it to land both Sanders and Giannis. BTW, this deal also saves the C's $4.4MM off the cap this season.
The other possibility is to swap Wallace & Brooks for Bass & Lee but I think the Bucks would prefer to have Bass to replace Ilyasova.
Memo: Please note that I've used Olynyk for Fav on the ESPN Trade Machine since Fav isn't available for trade yet on the trade machine but the numbers are the same.

4.25/5 rDev +8.4%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Fair classification as an American Impy Stout - it seems very American to brew a Belgian themed Imperial Stout...
Tried on tap at the Local Taphouse's July AleStars evening with Murray's head brewer Shawn Sherlock.
Pours a deep and roasted black colour, very thick in the body with a toasty brown crust of head. The head could be a little creamier methinks, but it looks extremely big, rich and tasty nonetheless.
Big and rich on the nose, but with definite Belgian yeast characters. Noticetably, some banana esters, lightened, perhaps more like crushed banana leaf, and something dry and dusty with dark cocoa. Extremely interesting.
Taste is great - big, unapologetic and boozy, but leavened with the Belgian yeast character coming through to round out the palate a little. Some phenols and a light cherry acetone character. Bitter roasted finish, but again, this is tempered by the yeast nicely. The sugar probably dries it out a bit as well. Shawn mentions chocolate on the palate, but I don't get a lot of that - the sweetness comes from the leavening easters of the Belgian yeast, and the lighter body which ensures the palate doesn't get overwhelmed.
Very nice brew. Very dark but leavened. Hard not to compare this to the Wild Thing, which I prefer, but the Wild Thing is more straight down unapologetically heavy and rich. I think the Heart of Darkness more drinkable for its relative lightness, but maybe not as intense, and groinally stimulating.

4.1/5 rDev +4.6%
look: 4 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Very dark black with a moderate sized, tan head. Fair head retention.
Rounded, fruity esters with mild, sweet chocolate and a touch of roast. Mild citrus. All in all an interesting aroma.
Smooth, mild roast with some slightly bitter chocolate and mild fruity esters. There is a bit of a citrussy hop note here too. On the whole this is a complex and smooth Imperial Stout. Like a fruity version of Wild Thing.
Medium-full body with moderate carbonation. Good.
A solid effort from Murray's with a nice fruitiness adding depth and complexity to the stout.

3.85/5 rDev -1.8%
look: 4.5 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 4
Pours a heavily dark brown, almost pitch black with a mahogany tinge up to the light. Head is modest, sitting a long time in the glass but retaining a small half-finger's worth. Beige in colour. Lace is pretty decent, cascades slowly down and thick. Beautiful-looking stout.
Oh yeah, that's exactly the nose I was expecting. Lots of dark chocolate character with mild espresso bitterness. But lots of Belgian phenolic spice creeping up from behind. Slight green apple note with some vanilla and mild white peppery spice. Slightly sour with a milkiness to it as well, yeah great array of character but also great balance between the dark stout aroma and the Belgian spice notes.
Taste is...interesting. At first sip it seems a bit weak. Dark roasty notes that seem to swim a bit at first as though they're not pronounced enough. Mild espresso notes with unsweetened chocolate develop into a weak mid-palate but then go strong and roasty with growing strength on the back palate. Slight charcoaly bitterness that never quite reaches full burnt potential. It has a sweetness on the finish with hints of warming alcohol. But yeah, interesting. To my mind its weakest point is on the mid for sure. The finish makes it interesting but there is definitely a 'black spot' for flavour in the middle.
Swish mouthfeel. Pretty slick for something with such a high ABV. Good weight to the body but still maintains a nice fluidity. Very nice.
A strong-flavoured ale with a sweetness that makes it downable. Nice stout notes with a lot to like. I would suggest if it didn't have that flavour gap in the middle it might be less drinkable.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 4 | feel: 3 | overall: 4
Pours pitch black with a large, tan head.
Nose shows chocolate, vanilla, roasted malt, liquorice and oats, alongside spicy phenols and higher alcohols.
Very similar flavours; quite sweet at first before the roasted malt bitterness and soft alcohol make their presence felt. Lots more liquorice, roast and spicy Belgian notes. Seems a little brash though.
Could use higher, creamier carbonation.

A - Pours black with a one finger mocha head that fades fast. Specs of lace and no retention.
S - Aromas of Belgian yeast, dark fruits, and chocolate. Interesting.
T - Lot's of sweet malt, chocolate, dark fruits, and Belgian yeast esters. Pretty interesting stuff.
M - Really smooth with nice carbonation, a full body, and a sweet finish.
O/D - While not being overly complex, Murray's has done a good job of constructing a beer that is flavourful and smooth. The incorporation of the Belgian yeast definitely sets it apart from other Australian examples of the style. A good one.

A - Pours a very dark brown/borderline black with 3cm of dark tan head that slowly falls away leaving a bit of lacing.
S - The aroma is a mixture of stewed fruits, bitter cocoa, some light Belgian phenols with a waft of alcohol.
T - The alcohol comes through more in the taste along with more bittersweet cocoa nothes and Belgian yeast character.
M - Medium to full bodied with a medium level of carbonation.
D - Not something to session but well worth trying. Hoping I'll get to try it again.

Drank from my Stella tulip. Drank at room temperature.
A - Pours deep MAhogany almost Ebony colour, with a one fingered head that reduces to a film and laces the glass
S - Aromas are of spicey sugars and soem dark stewed fruit.
T - Taste up front is somewhat spicey and gives way to some nice cocoa and malt flavours the finish is a little bitter. There are some interesting toffee flavours to compliment the brew. The booze is very well hidden.
M - Full body and medium to low carbonation, and kind of oily.
O - I really enjoyed this beer, it does have some Belgian Royal stout carachteristics but is a long way short of Black Albert.

On-tap at Murrays at Manly
Pours a black body, tan small head that dies to a film. Lacing good.
Aromas are subdued due to serving temp - a little roast, a little choc.
Taste is very complex with roast, chocolate, coffee. Integrated fruits balance out the roast flavours.
Mouthfeel is medium to hevyweight but not oily. Carbonation reasonably high.
Overall, the best of the three RISs on tap.

look: 4 | smell: 4 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 3.5 | overall: 3.5
Note: listed as a American Double/ Imperial Stout, off the website it is listed as a Belgian Style Imperial Stout. Either way...
Had on Tap and in Growler format
A-- Poured reddish black, settling black with just a few tints of red on the sides and top of the glass. Just a bit of carbonation bubbles on the sides of the glass. Very short lived head that was a deep dark brown sugar color, became just a layer of film but had good head retention. Spotty but good lacing.
S-- Chocolate, lots of chocolate, sweet Belgian Chocolate, some bitter baking chocolate, and some coco powder. There is also a fruity quality to this. Think this is crossed with the Murrays Grand Cru. Get green apple and green banana with the smell. More like a chocolate fondue with apple and banana.
T-- When I tasted this at the brewery I first thought it was the Grand Cru but with chocolate. Very sweet, bitter chocolate, thick and a alcohol burn to this.
M-- Medium carbonation and medium to heavy bodied. Lots of chocolate in the mouth, bitter chocolate. Has a bit of an AVB spice burn to this. Thick and coating in the mouth on all levels.
D-- Would go back up and get another growler. It is good but not real keen on the Triple sweetness in this. Really like the full on chocolate but this could something like oak to smooth out the alcohol feel and taste. The 9.6 on the first beer I had at the brewery went straight to my head. Good beer and a very different attempt at an Imperial Stout.

A - Pours black in colour looking almost like oil with a tan head that dissipates immediately to leave a thin film.
S - Roasted coffee with some chocolate, sweet malts and get a slight hint of vanilla.
T - Get alot of that roasted coffee and chocolate malts, some stewed dark fruits with a hint of liquorice that balances out beautifully.
M - Full bodied with medium carbonation
O - A fantastic stout and of the better ones from Murrays. Really like the chocolate/coffee malt character that is not too overpowering is balanced nicely. A must try.

Drinkability - Heavy beer, doesn't sit well, lacks body
Overall - Unbalanced, too tart. Drinkable beer, good in ways, but has it's flaws

Worrying SL score margins

What is worrying is that there are so many people who are so against the NRL they wont take off their blinkers and enjoy what is a great and thoroughly entertaining competition!
What is also worrying is that there are so many people that are of the opinion that the NRL is untouchable and graced by superhumans. There is a huge amount of quality in Super League that would walk in to many NRL teams.
I love both competitions, think they are both entertaining, and dont see why people cant just appreciate both without the need to denigrate one over the other.
The NRL is the best quality Competition and where the best and most skillful players are. The teams are much more equal though certain teams are usually in the mix like Melbourne Storm or Manly. But also lesser teams like Cronulla, Souths, can easily make the play offs after a few years of missing the playoffs. Watching the likes of Slater, Barba, Thurston, Hayne, Marshall etc is never boring for me. But I also appreciate the leadership skills of Smith and Gallen and the much better defence and the way its much harder to break down. I would like to see it grow and have a team in Perth, Central Queensland and NZ as well as a second team in Brisbane area.
SL is good to watch but its quality is way off the NRL. I would rather watch an NRL game than SL even when my team was in SL simply because of that. The way SL clubs do things and the recent decisions I can only see the gulf in standards between the two comps widening. I just cant get into watching SL as much as I do the NRL.The other thing that puts me off watching SL is the Sky team who just do my head in. The Australians are not perfect. Gus Gould is annoying but he has been there and done it and is very well connected in the game. Peter Sterling is very good how he views things and when you add the likes of Johns, Lockyer and Greg Alexander, Gordon Tallis who have all played at the highest level in recent years and are or have been involved in coaching clubs or players then its much easier to understand and enjoy the game for me.

More people getting sky in general (an upward long term trend)
Better stadia
More geographical spread of RL at grass roots
So crowds and viewing figures are going up?
I just want to make absolutely certain this is a FACT before we get on to why crowds and viewing figures are falling.

Massive blowouts
Posted 16 February 2013 - 01:46 PM
Let's compare the average margin between this year and last year.
2013 Week 1, 25.7 points per game.
2012 Week 1, 12.3 points per game.
Here's where Lobby stepped in. First week and there were some big scorelines. However, many of us at this stage pointed out it was pointless because one of those blowouts was an incredible shock result - Huddersfield at Saints.
2013 Week 2, 15.42 points per game.
2012 Week 2, 27 points per game.
As you can see, big turnaround as week 2 was really bad for scorelines last year with this year being not so bad.
2013 Week 3 (so far), 12 points per game.
2012 Week 3, 14 points per game.
We have 4 games remaining but all games are 8 points or less on the handicap meaning blowouts are unlikely.
Season so far,
2013 18.67 points per game.
2012 17.47 points per game.
As you can see, drawing conclusions from such a small collection of games was rather silly. Things are looking like they are more than evening themselves out.
I don't have the time or the inclination to look at the average points per game over the last few seasons but Neil Barraclough did an analysis of the Super League playoffs winning margins; where you would expect the winning margins to be somewhat tighter.
When we had a top 5 playoff from 98-01, the average winning margin was 16.58.
When we had a top 6 playoff from 02-08, the average winning margin was 15.29.
Since we have had a top 8 playoff, the average winning margin has been 18.32.
So it looks like the average margin between games is usually around 15-18 points. At the end of today, our average could easily be between these 2 figures for the regular season. Doesn't look like anything to worry about at this early stage.
Edit: adjusted for Wigan-Hudds game.

Lobby points to a completely different time but blames all the differences on the 10m rule.
It's the perfect example of the 'false cause' or 'non-sequitar' argument. Even if we accept that scorelines are wider than they were in the past it does not follow that the 10m rule has to be the cause. For instance, the 10m rule came in in 1992. There are a number of differences in the game since then such as:
Fitter players
Players doing more gym work and therefore being bigger
Summer rugby
Other rule changes
Increased professionalism off the field
Changes in the style of the game
Changes in technique (tackling being the perfect example)
Many of these come under the umbrella of full-time professionalism. The game is now played by finely-tuned athletes in games that are highly analysed by backroom staff. The result has seen much more efficient methods of playing the game. There is a lot less off-the-cuff play because it doesn't win as often as playing the percentages. The modern game is about repeat sets, applying pressure and executing at the right time.
The result often means that we often see an arm-wrestle with teams pulling away in the final stages as the cumulative factors take their toll. Also, the game requires such commitment that once it drops as the result goes, teams find it much easier to score.

Exactly, blow outs happen now because one team simply cannot keep pace with the other
This Bradford-Cas game is the perfect example of the modern game.
Really competitive for 65 mins and then one team gets a bit of a gap and pulls away when the game is already away from them. When it was 12-12 I thought Cas had had the better of the game and looked more likely.

Posted 16 February 2013 - 08:42 PM
You're not being serious, right? I mean, how many teams can defend against 13 men when they only have 11? I'm no expert in the game but even I can grasp the notion that such a scenario would prove to be a massive task to the side with 11 men.Really competitive for 65 mins and then one team gets a bit of a gap and pulls away when the game is already away from them. When it was 12-12 I thought Cas had had the better of the game and looked more likely.
Cas without Rangi Chase look a lot better this season than when he was playing last season. With a fit and firing and well behaved Rangi then apart from still being a bit weak in the forwards they should be no walkovers this season, assuming they can keep enough of their first choice team fit (but that applies to all teams really).

Yes, I thought that, too. After all, there were only 82,976 bored Aussies at the 2012 Grand Final
It can't have been that many. I was there with a friend and neither of us are Aussies. Maybe it was 82,974 Aussies and two Poms.
No one seemed bored either.
....while two leagues of 12 with an 8-8-8 split was viewed as a compromise, sponsors were not keen to be associated with the bottom 16 after the split.
Guggisberg said: "We changed to a league of 10 in 2003 because the second part of the championship didn't work. It was very complicated for television and sponsors who didn't want to be associated with any meaningless matches. It is much easier to have two separate divisions."
Posted 16 February 2013 - 10:08 PM
And in terms of the modern game, anything less than 3 scores is nearly a draw...
well said Ant........

Maybe if the grounds could be made on a huge turntable we could spin the pitches round and prevent this weakness in our game.
Another idea is huge wind machines fixed on the stadia roofs to counteract it .....
Then again this could all be cobblers a bit like the start of this thread!

David meets Arthur in historical series
Published on Wed, Jul 28, 2010 by
Ashley Miller

Timothy Wilkinson clears his head and gathers his thoughts at Pioneer Memorial Park in Sequim with his canine companion Bolt at his feet.
Sequim Gazette photo by Ashley Miller
Timothy Wilkinson leads a double life.
By day, he's a teacher, tutor and mentor at Olympic Peninsula Academy in Sequim. He's a devoted husband and loving "father" to a 1-year-old Yorkshire terrier-cross dog named Bolt.
But when the sun sets, Wilkinson transforms into a biblical researcher, analyzes factual events from medieval times and revives them through fictional characters.
It was in the second grade when Wilkinson started living this split life. He invented the mythical world of Bitosa and wrote a series of stories and histories taking place in the fictional land, complete with maps, designs of the flora and fauna, and sketches of the world's various races.
As Wilkinson matured, his passion for medieval history continued to grow. He started collecting artifacts and replicas and participating in re-enactments.
The author inside Wilkinson also continued to blossom. He finished his first novel in 1988, a fantasy-adventure epic written in longhand over several years. Two years later he wrote his first play, recorded an original music album the next year and a screenplay six years after that.
Then, in 2002, his love of Bible research and ancient legends led him to a discovery - that the stories of the biblical King David of Israel and the legendary Arthur of Britain held a lot of similarities.
"I have no doubt that King David was the original Arthur," Wilkinson said.
"There are so many parallels that I don't think it can be a coincidence."
Developing this theme, Wilkinson finished a first draft of the novel "Samuel," telling the story of the 10th-century prophet in Israel. Unhappy with the results, he scrapped the book and started over, publishing a second version in 2005. Still unsatisfied, he threw out the second version and started yet again.
The third draft, titled "Prophet of Israel," published in late 2007.
While dealing with issues of religious and moral corruption, racism and oppressive political systems, "Prophet of Israel" presents a fictional version of biblical history that provides a link between the King David and Arthur.
Three years later, Wilkinson is excited to announce the release of the second book in The Eternal Throne Chronicles titled "Judge of Israel," set to release July 31.
"Originally, I was going to write it as one book, then three and now eight," Wilkinson said with a youthful chuckle of a child who keeps asking for "just one more piece of candy."
"Judge of Israel" takes place in the year 1138 B.C.E., during the start of the Iron Age in Palestine, and tells the story of events leading up to a war between the Philistines and the Israelites fought under the leadership of Samuel the Prophet at the city of Mizpah. Amid the facts of the past, the text explores the life of the Israelite hero, Samson, before he gained his famous superhuman strength.
Wilkinson describes both books as "stories that don't contradict history but that have a lot of made-up stuff in them."
Though he looked into traditional publishing methods, Wilkinson ultimately went the self-publishing route.
"It's not that I couldn't find a publisher," he explained, "it's that I didn't like the process."
Self-publishing, he insisted, eliminates the "being chosen" process and retains his special signature on each book.
Wilkinson plans to spend July 31 celebrating with friends and family during a private release party. Soon after, he will start up his computer and re-enter the fictional world of The Eternal Throne Chronicles, working on part three of the series.
The Eternal Throne Chronicles: 72 hours and counting!
"Judge of Israel," the second in an eight-part series of historical biblical fiction by Sequim author Timothy Wilkinson, is expected to release nationally and locally on Saturday, July 31. For more information about the series, the current release or the author, visit

The new edition of the Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE) company magazine, Spirit, is now available, with a special focus on safety.
Construction equipment operators from across Europe are battling it out in Belgium this weekend – each facing the ultimate test of skill at the annual Volvo Operators' Club European Final this weekend.
Continued momentum in most markets reinforced a self-assured quarter for Volvo Construction Equipment, one that saw the company post strong earnings and strengthen its position in the Chinese wheel loader and excavator market.
Volvo Construction Equipment is celebrating after collecting its prestigious 'red dot: best of the best' product design award, won for its innovative A40F articulated hauler.
An advanced load management system, combined with best-in-class stability and lifting capacity, make the Volvo PL3005D one of the industry's safest and most productive pipelayers yet.
The latest special history edition of Spirit, Volvo Construction Equipment's company magazine, is now available to read online and on your iPad, celebrating almost two centuries of innovations and industry firsts.
Volvo CE reported record sales and profitability in Q1, 2012, with sales up 17% and higher than ever operating income and operating margin for a first quarter.
Designed for smaller compaction projects, Volvo's DD25 and DD25W are small double drum compactors that feature 360-degree visibility and high frequency – allowing operators to get the job done faster, better and more safely.
Featuring a robust superstructure, advanced hydraulics and more fuel efficient engines, the Volvo ECR145D and ECR235D short swing radius excavators offer even greater productivity, ease-of-use and safety when working in confined or restricted conditions.
With more fuel efficient engines, improved digging performance and modern styling, Volvo Construction Equipment has fundamentally redesigned its popular EW range of wheeled excavators. Introducing the D-Series, the EW140D, EW160D, EW180D and EW210D offer site flexibility.

The Most Underreported Summer Parenting Stress
May 25, 2012
© Erin Zammett Ruddy
We all obsess about pools and riptides and poison ivy and sunburns and, if you're me, the fact that it stays light until 9 p.m. making that 7:45 bedtime a really tough sell. But the thing that irks me the most about parenting in the summer is….
the $%@*! ice cream man. He comes by my house playing that cloying tune at least three times a day turning me into "the evil mom who doesn't let her children eat ice cream whenever they damn please." And, of course, he always does his drive by during naptime and right before dinner. Every. Single. Day. We have several interconnecting streets in our neighborhood so it's as if he's constantly hovering, taunting, waiting to find the chink in my armor that allows my kids to come running out the front door with fistfuls of bills. Even when the kids aren't there, I am. And I sit in front of my computer trying to write serious intros for important stories for big magazines (or sometimes silly sex stories for big magazines) and all I can hear is that little jingle. I hate the ice cream man. There, I said it.
I do not hate ice cream, despite the fact that I was pretty much born without a sweet tooth (I would take a bag of Doritos over a pint of Ben and Jerrys any day of the week), but I understand sweets. And I enjoy the hell out of them every once and while. And as much as I try to limit Nora and Alex's sugar intake, they get plenty. Plenty. And, more importantly, I know that ice cream and summer go together like, well, ice cream and summer. Some of my best memories are of my dad taking us to Baskin & Robbins or Carvel on a hot day (I'm a chocolate girl all the way, preferably with peanut butter or brownie chunks, always on a sugar cone, possibly with chocolate crunchies on top, never with sprinkles, and in a pinch I love me some mint chocolate chip). But the thing about those memories is they were on my parents' terms. They were outings. They were special. It wasn't me begging and pleading until they caved and I could go buy a stupid Sonic the Hedgehodge ice cream with black gumball eyes (this is what Alex got the other day and it made me sad). To me, the ice cream man hovering in front of your house every day is like your mom coming over announcing, "Grandma has candy! Who wants candy?" and then you having to be the Debbie Downer who says, "Are you effing serious mom? I got candy on Easter and Halloween as a kid so beat it with that crap." (A nicer, expletive-free form of this conversation has taken place numerous times with both my mother and Nick's mother.) In other words, I feel a little undermined and a little trapped. And a lot like the bad guy. Am I mom enough to say no to the ice cream man every single day of the summer, which, as far as the ice cream man is concerned is April through October? I don't know. I'm not excited to find out.
And here's the worst part: The few times I actually said yes last year when we heard the ice cream man's little jingle, we waited and waited and he never came. We'd hear the song getting louder and then fading. We'd get excited and think he was just around the bend but then he never showed. Classic. Because it's the beginning of the season, my kids are still asking every time they hear that tune crank up. I've already caved twice because it's almost summer and the novelty hasn't quite worn off (in all fairness Nick and I are also saying "it's almost summer, let's crack that bottle of wine!"). But pretty soon it's going to go back to special occasion only. I'm just not sure what that special occasion is. Last summer it was whenever I didn't feel like I had the backbone to argue with them about it. Or if I needed an activity to get me the half hour to dinner. Have I mentioned there's also an ice cream man stationed around-the-clock at our park and our beach? My friend, Annette, who lives in an ice cream man kinda neighborhood, made a Sundays-only rule. What's your ice cream man policy? Does he irk you as much as he irks me? Do you think I'm a horrible fun-crushing mom?
