When Yahoo Inc. agreed to team up with Microsoft Corp. to better take on search giant Google Inc., some analysts said they wondered whether the online pioneer mistakenly sold its soul in the process.
The 10-year Microsoft-Yahoo deal announced yesterday calls for Microsoft's new Bing search engine to power searches on Yahoo's various sites. That means Yahoo's own search technology will go the way of the dinosaur.
[ InfoWorld's Bill Snyder thinks that the Microsoft-Yahoo deal has freed Google | Find out what changes users will see from the Microsoft-Yahoo deal ]
And looking down the road, analysts question what will happen to Yahoo once the deal is over.
The the new partnership could simply be the beginning of a long-term courtship that eventually leads to the merger of the two industry giants. But if the companies don't merge and the deal isn't renewed, what happens to a Yahoo that has no up-to-date search technology?
That, says Karsten Weide, an analyst at research firm IDC, is a big question. And one that leads him to believe that Yahoo has made one heck of a big mistake.
"I was never in love with this deal, and I think it's a strategic mistake for Yahoo," said Weide. "With something as important as search, you don't want to give away the technology you need to compete with everybody else. Once you've outsourced search, it will be almost impossible to get it back in-house after 10 years. This is really a pretty grave decision to make."
Industry analysts aren't the only ones who think this could be a dubious move for Yahoo.
In stock market action Tuesday, Yahoo's share price dropped more than 11 percent, hitting $15.17. The stock's value had risen 20 percent over the past several weeks on speculation that a deal was brewing with Microsoft -- and that the pact would include a hefty upfront payment. Such a payment, however, was not part of the actual deal.
Following a telephone conversation with Yahoo officials today, Weide noted that while the company will use Microsoft's search technology, it will handle design of the the user interface in-house. "What happens under the hood, they will give all away to Microsoft," noted Weide. "[Yahoo] will retain [responsibility for] how the results are presented to the user. Some of the search engineers will stay [at Yahoo] to work on the user interface experience, some will go to Microsoft and some will be laid off."
When Carol Bartz took over as Yahoo's CEO earlier this year, she made it clear that she was going to try to re-ignite the company and regain some of the hip buzz that surrounded the online pioneer in its early days. However, Bartz also was adamant that she wanted to clean up shop operationally and get costs and revenue in line. And this move falls into line with that part of her plan, analysts said.

I would love to play Anna in The King and I, and that's also a role that I feel I'm right for now. Of all Rodgers and Hammerstein, I just feel an affinity for that piece. She's a great character, and it also just feels like something that is resonant for now because it's all about cultural difference and understanding.

We are very excited that two of the nation's foremost energy and national security experts will be keynote speakers at the Sun Valley Wellness Festival this year. Please forward to any of your colleagues and contacts who you think might be interested in attending. See information below:
The Sun Valley Wellness Festival will offer an unprecedented second keynote address on Saturday, May 25, 2013, with global energy leaders Amory Lovins and R. James Woolsey. In their address, What's Energy Got to Do With It? Everything!, Lovins and Woolsey will discuss our energy present and our energy future.
Energy underpins the earth's health as well as personal health, from enabling alleviation of suffering from poverty, to providing clean air, to helping to ensure national security. Energy is perhaps the world's greatest challenge, but also the greatest opportunity. In this moment of economic and environmental distress, newly cost-competitive and effective energy solutions are available to capitalize on right now and secure a more sustainable future.
To explain the complex energy puzzle are two of the world's most respected experts with unique and engaging perspectives. Amory Lovins is widely considered among the world's leading authorities on energy, having advised both major corporations to the Pentagon on our energy risks and opportunities. He is the founder of the renowned Rocky Mountain Institute, and recipient of multiple awards including the Onassis Prize, the Heinz Award, the Time Hero of the Planet and the Blue Planet Prize.
R. James Woolsey is a former CIA Director and co-founder of the United States Energy Security Council whose real-world experience of the risks America faces from its unsustainable energy system has led him to be a powerful voice for America's leadership in energy efficiency and renewable energy.
This will be a dynamic, powerful and informative conversation that will engage the audience regarding the global issues, as well as the opportunities that can be capitalized on locally. The talk will be facilitated by Sun Valley's resident global energy expert Aimée Christensen, CEO of Christensen Global Strategies.
"We are extremely fortunate to have these renowned energy experts come and speak this year," remarked Sun Valley Wellness Institute Board member John Sofro, who led the effort to secure them as speakers at the festival. "Energy is a key to sustainability and a very important part of the wellness conversation."

The word "sustainability" has been popularized to such an extent that its meaning has gotten lost for many of us. No matter what terminology is chosen to describe it, we do know that our future depends on the lifestyle choices that we make today. The ERC's Choices for Sustainable Living discussion group will be based on a guide written by the well-respected Northwest Earth Institute in Portland. The topics included are ecological principles, food, community, consumption and the economy, and the readings were recently updated to include transportation. Over the seven sessions, Choices for Sustainable Living helps participants explore the meaning and vision of sustainability from individual, societal and global perspectives. During the discussions, the group will:
• Explore the meaning of sustainability • Consider the ties between lifestyle choices and their impact on Earth • Learn about steps that can be taken to move toward ecologically sustainable organizations, lifestyles, and communities.
The only fee to participate is for the cost of the guide, which can be purchased

LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- A judge has entered a not guilty plea for Antonio Walker, who was charged with murder after the shooting death of Paris Hamilton in a Jeffersonville apartment on Tuesday.
The judge also ordered no bond for Walker.
The prosecutor says more arrests are possible in the case and that Hamilton, as part of his home incarceration, was supposed to be looking for a job when he was shot.
Outside court, Hamilton's relatives called Walker "a ruthless murderer."

Japan says the death toll in a massive earthquake has risen to five. The quake unleashed a 13-foot (4-meter) tsunami that swept boats, cars, buildings and tons of debris miles inland.
Fires triggered by Friday's quake are burning out of control up and down the coast, including one at an oil refinery.
The government has confirmed at least five deaths and there were reports of several injuries, including in Tokyo, hundreds of miles (kilometers) from the epicenter.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the quake was a magnitude 8.9, while Japan's meteorological agency measured it at 8.8. It struck at 2:46 p.m. and was followed by more than a dozen aftershocks, including several at least 6.3, the size of the quake that struck New Zealand recently.

Led Zeppelin, The Who and The Rolling stones were all part of a special anniversary celebration in the Tri-State Sunday afternoon.
The real band members weren't there, but students rocking out to their famous jams were as part of the one year anniversary for the School of Rock Mason.
The school teaches students all about rock music, and gives them a chance to perform live.
These musicians weren't even born when the songs they played were first released. But, thanks to this school, they're getting a firsthand look at some music they probably won't learn in the high school marching band.
"When they have their music programs, it's typically concert bands, marching bands, maybe a jazz band or an orchestra. But to be able to play rock, which all these kids are doing, is just not something schools offer," said Tim Garry, owner of the School of Rock Mason.
On Sunday, they picked up their guitars, drumsticks and microphones, got under the bright lights and performed for friends and family. It's part of the school's first anniversary celebration, and a special fundraiser. The money raised will go to the Rock School Scholarship Fund.
"We are raising funds for the Rock School Scholarship Fund which provides money to kids who want to go to a rock-oriented music program, but they can't afford the full tuition. The monies that we're raising will be actually earmarked for kids in the greater Cincinnati area," added Garry.
Gabe Page, 13, is a student at the school. With a growing interest in rock music, and a viewing of the movie "School of Rock," he ended up enrolling at the school. The skills he's learned have given him a career path.
"It's kind of the thing I want to do in the future. I want to be able to go out and get up on stage, play some good music," said Page.
The same goes for 16-year old Brandon Bihn, another student at the school.
"I do want to get into a music college when I'm older. I know this is what I want to do now. This is my passion," said Bihn.
While it's about the music and the performance, it also gives kids a chance to make some new friends, learn something they might not get at school and take away some life skills in the process.
"It's not just music. It's the leadership skills that they learn. It's the presence to be up on stage, self confidence, all of that," Garry told FOX19
There are around 90 musicians enrolled at the school.

Weekend before trip #2May 22, 2006 on 11:41 am | In Uncategorized | No Comments
Friday we had only one car. The van started squealing when I would brake on Thursday night so Ernie, a friend, convinced me to drive it over to his house that night. I took the
kids to school and Michele to the Metro on Friday morning and then headed to Annapolis to get some final documents certified and apostilled. Then I took them to our adoption agency's office in Baltimore. I met Ernie at an auto parts store to pay for my new break pads, but they had to get them from another store.I worked in the afternoon before going to the kids' "fashion show" at after care. It was silly and cute. Irina and Artyom both worked the crowd, Irina playing the role of diva, and Artyom shaking his booty. After that we picked up Michele and I dropped them off at Synagogue with challah, the brownies I had made the night before and corn I made that afternoon (starting from just seeds, water, and a can-do attitude). I headed towards the auto parts store but got called back by Michele who was suffering with an Artyom melt down. He convinced her he was going to be good so I headed out again. I got the parts, went to Dana's and killed some time until Ernie came. I helped him a little with the first set when I got called by Michele again. They weren't in services and could be picked up anytime.
I got there to see Artyom's shoes in the street and him running around on the grass. He was really in a mood. We went back to get the van (now done), thanked Dana & Ernie and then Michele took him home and I took Irina to Polina's for a sleep-over. Artyom had finished settling down by the time I got home. He said his mode stemmed from the anxiety of having to go on the bema (altar) with his class.
Saturday he was a sweet little boy again, I took him and Georgia out for a walk (him wearing Rachel's old rollerblades). There was some dog event on the walking path. At the turn off for the Glenn Dale Community Center there were booths setup and a demonstration by a Greenbelt K-9 officer and his dog. It was good/lucky timing. Of course during the demo Georgia chewed thrown her halty, but she didn't get into any trouble. After that we had hours and millions of dollars of shopping. For Irina's birthday we all got roller blades.When we went to pick up Irina we got Polina too. We went home and tried our roller blades (since she had seen them). At least Irina, Polina and I did. It is much different than ice skating (who would have thunk it). I did it a little up and down the sidewalk before going in. I did it much more than the girls, Polina was very scared and Irina was in too much pain from an initial fall. Happy Birthday to her.
That night was Artyom's friends b'day party tail-gating at the Baysox (AA) baseball game. Then we saw the actual game (11 innings, 1-0 loss), and then, finally, fireworks. We dropped the non-daughter off and went home. The next morning the kids had their last Hebrew school and we did MORE shopping. We spent so much on donations and gifts and the new kids that we'll still be paying these bills off when the kids are in college (hopefully by scholarship). After school Artyom went on the moon bounce there before I took him for pizza. Irina and Michele got all dressed up and went to the Retro Tea Room for a belated mother/daughter mother's day luncheon. They had a nice time. Irina got to wear a very old (Victorian) hat and had her picture taken. They ate a lot of goodies, Michele got to have some clotted cream on a scone, and then they came home. I took the boy to a park where I thought we could practice roller blading on the tennis courts. We did it for a while before taking the path down to the playground.
That slightly banked hill was just about the scariest thing I ever did in my life. Twice I had to angle over to the grade and do a funny run to slow my self down. I never fell, but my fear of falling is probably making my learning curve greater. Then Artyom joined in a pick-up game
of soccer.
He scored several goals before apologizing that he tires easily. I don't know where he heard this, but what he doesn't notice is he is running hard the entire time while the other kids lazily went around. He doesn't tire easily, he runs a lot harder and gets tired because of it. It's funny, but he was stand-out with these kids and I had to tell him to stop shooting and just pass for a while. He even volunteered to be the other team's goalie for a while so they could catch up. He's not any good at soccer, but by comparison he was Pele.
At home Michele and Irina were doing laundry (Irina has to do her own laundry now because she kept putting clean clothes in her hamper). She was enjoying it Sunday, but I'm sure it will get old for her quickly. We had some trampoline time at home as well as sprinkler time. I had done the yard in the morning after shopping so there were lots of grass
clippings to stick to us. Michele worked in the garden and then, later, I did some work in the garage.
It was a nice weekend, we got a lot done. Michele had trouble sleeping last night and got up in the middle of the night to pack for our upcoming trip. Anxiety annoying.
The Weekend, May 6th, 2006May 8, 2006 on 12:07 pm | In Uncategorized | No Comments
Friday after work Artyom had lacrosse. It's scheduled for before Michele gets home, so I take them. Irina played with her little friends (3-6 year olds - she likes being in charge) and I tried to watch them both. When I was kicking around a soccer ball with Irina, though, Artyom was asked to change jerseys because the other team didn't have enough players. I kept looking for him and couldn't find him (I thought it was odd because I can usually pick him out from the way he moves/his size/etc. [the jersey number then confirms it]). It was even stranger when they had a water break and some kid from the other team was sitting on my folding chair drinking my son's water! I then realized what had happened. Saturday was spring planting and working in the yard day. What a beautiful day for it! Michele was up at 6 and started making a vat of meatballs and sauce (our supply had dwindled) and got the roast ready for dinner. She also started a marathon laundry session which continued into Sunday. We had Polina over (she's turning into my Saturday daughter), but she didn't help at all! The others helped me a fair amount as I tilled the garden, put up a new 4′ fence (Georgia could jump the 30″ fence), mulched, mowed, and shopped (that part was only partly outside). I didn't really do much shopping either; I just had to entertain the kids as Michele picked out plants. We went to the sheds at Home Depot and climbed around in them, hid in them, etc. We also found a flat bed tractor trailer (parked) to climb on and jump from. Artyom managed to get onto the roof of one of the sheds through the window (he spent some time literally swinging from the rafters) and I had to talk him down (he was talking about all the things he could see from there).
That night a little boy's dream came true. Polina's mom's husband owns pawn shops. We called her to see if they had a PlayStation 2 because Irina and Artyom had been saving their stickers for one. They had one (used) and it was a pretty good price so we asked them to bring it when they picked up Polina. He ended his bath early when they got there and was so excited he hugged and kissed Elena (the mom) without shying away. He's got quite a crush on "Miss Elena". When Elena and Gary dropped off Polina that morning, he was in the back yard doing work. When he saw Polina, he ran into the house to see Elena. When Michele told him that she'd gone, he was disappointed. But all was not lost! They had turned around on the cul-de-sac and were driving past just as Michele opened to door to see if they might do that. Artyom got to wave to Elena and he was satisfied. Anyway, back to the PlayStation. He played a little before bed and then before Sunday school the next morning. After dropping them off there, Michele and I did the food shopping for the week as well as got some more mulch (you can never have too much mulch). I took the kids to my mom's (bringing a big ball of Edam Cheese for all the good bread). We stopped at Susie's where Rob threw me out. It wasn't before I exchanged Artyom for Rebecca, so I took the girls to my mom's.
Back at the ranch, Michele planted all the new plants and veggies, finished up the laundry marathon, put the roast in the oven (she'd forgotten it in our busy-ness on Saturday (we had spaghetti)). When we got home, a nice dinner was waiting with mashed potatoes, peas, and salad. There it was very laid back, just the Silvers (who came in two waves) and 2 Simms (Laura and Zach). I got a glimpse of how Irina is going to communicate with her new brother and sister though–she asked Zachary if Ellie, the dog, was coming. Zachary mumbled some reply about him coming straight from college (alluding to the fact that he wasn't at home and didn't know if Ellie was coming or not). Not getting the answer she was expecting (yes or no), Irina leaned a little towards Zach and in a very loud voice says, "EL-LIE!?!"
Before we ate dinner, I managed to mulch some more, we all had dinner, Artyom starting catching up on his Hebrew School homework (he'd been hoarding it, he insisted he didn't know about it) and then we all went to bed.

April Fool's Day WeekendApril 3, 2006 on 11:09 am | In Uncategorized | No Comments
It was a beautiful weekend, although it had an inauspicious beginning on Friday when Michele (who was home with the kids (day off school)) called to say the dishwasher was broken. She hasn't been that happy with it since we moved in, it doesn't do a great job even when you rinse everything pretty well, so she was hoping it was unfixable. Michele was also watching Polina, Irina's friend, who was off school as well. Polina's mom and step father have a shop and Polina would have had to spend the day sitting at the shop, so she instead stayed at our house. Irina and Polina had some fights about cleaning up their toys so we will have to institute a new rule for when the kids have company – they can't do anything new until the last thing is cleaned up. This way a trail of destruction is not left when the guest goes.
Saturday morning we went out to get a dishwasher. Consumer Reports rated one Kenmore and 3 Bosches at the top of their list. The Kenmore looked best since it had a self-cleaning filter and garbage disposal built in but Sears was closed! They don't open until 10:00 … on Saturday!!! That's half a day away when you wake up at 4:00! (I woke up at 4:00, mostly because I went to sleep early. I was also worried about the kids who were having a sleepover on our floor, because I thought they might be cold so I had to keep waking up to tuck them in). After a couple of hours Artyom came down (oh, I got sidetracked from the dishwasher story, that will resume in a minute I guess) and asked to watch tv. I said yes, but it was so nice outside that I rescinded it and told him we would walk Georgia. He asked if we could walk to the park with the tennis court and when I agreed to this he asked if we could bring tennis stuff. Sure, why not? We played some tennis and when we got home the ladies were up. We stopped off to pick up Elena (Polina's mother – Polina was at a sleepver), so, by the time we got to Sears after 9:00, it seemed late enough that it should be open. Best Buy was closed too (what's up with that?), but Lowe's was open and doing great business (I guess the early bird does get the worm). The Bosch's were small inside, so we ended up getting Michele's favorite brand, Kitchen Aid, with the self-cleaning filter and garbage disposal in it. Okay, we didn't get it because it wasn't in stock. But we saw it. Michele then took Elena to a Pampered Chef Party and I took our kids and Artyom's friend, Jacob, to Annapolis to see Ice Age 2. Jacob's grandmother had called in a panic. She had to help out at church and was watching Jacob. So she dropped him off with us. Another weird thing is most theaters have stopped having their 11:00 shows, so they all start at 1:00. So I had to go to Annapolis with the kids to see the 11:00 movie. After the movie, I took them to another Lowe's to get the dishwasher that Michele wanted. Ernie had stopped over on his way to work that morning to see if he could fix the dishwasher. Michele was very upset about that possibility but the dishwasher gods were with her. The motor was shot. So, when we got home with the dishwasher, I shut off the water, got the old one out, and the new one mostly installed but I was stuck with one thing and wasn't sure about another.
In the meantime, Michele had dropped Elena off home and came home to a disasterous kitchen. No water, dirty dishes everywhere, and company coming for dinner. She set the kids up on the front lawn with the sprinkler to run through and then there were lots of trips to the bathroom faucet with a pot for water to use in the kitchen! We had invited Dana and Ernie (and family) over for dinner so that Ernie could install the dishwasher, but I was hoping I would have it done so he wouldn't have to help, but he did. It says not to pre-rinse anything so we stuck all these filthy dishes in it (it's really big inside somehow and the upper tray can adjust up and down to accommodate big things). The next morning things were cleaner than Michele could have imagined. She loves it. Sunday I dropped the kids off at Sunday school and went shopping. At home Michele started painting the boys' (doesn't that sound neat?) room. I took apart the final bed and moved furniture around for Michele before shampooing the carpet in the office. I then got the kids from Sunday school and came home to drop off Artyom and took Irina to my mom's. She (my mom) wouldn't let Irina play in the sprinkler because she decided it was too cold (Irina's gone two or three times at home already), but Irina had fun playing with Rebecca, Deborah, Carlos and Rebecca's friend. It was a beautiful day. We threw around a football for a while too, just to be outside.
Artyom had a lacrosse practice which Michele took him to. He was a bit fussy beforehand because his shoulder/chest pad was too big, but they got him a smaller one when he got there. Michele was so proud of how hard he was working that she stayed and watched him instead of running over the arena to sign us up for more skating lessons (she ended up doing this afterward). She said Artyom was being praised by the coach and his shoulders were back and his chest puffed out. He might be pretty small, but at lacrosse, he was walking tall! He later told me that he was the fastest kid out there. I don't know about all that. At home Michele had a work friend over for dinner. We had ribs. It was a nice meal to end a nice weekend.

3.33/5 rDev -12.4%
Chilled bottle poured into a chalice glass.
Dark colored body that reveals a very striking ruby red hue when held up to the light. Head is a solid 2 fingers with tight long lasting retention.
The aromatic profile is rather shallow with only mild elements of malt in combination with caramelized brown sugar present. The aroma is however rather fresh which is reassuring.
Like the nose the palate also favors the malt notes, however taste also introduces yeast flavors which are drawn in with mild dry fruits and nuts to build a fresh bread loaf profile.
Mouthfeel is rather smooth and fresh, whilst carbonation is kept to a fraction below the moderate level.
A good beer but a little lack-luster in terms of having dominant features for the nose and taste. I will most likely pick up another, from a different batch perhaps, some time in the future as a test.

12oz from Corridor Wine and Spirits in Laurel, MD.
Please note that my bottle is labled "Double Ale" unlike the picture. Though it does have "Dubbel" on the side. Pretty sure its one in the same.
Pours a slightly hazy dark copper, almost martzen-esque. Heavy on the head with lots and lots of lacing down the Chimay chalace.
Smell is light. I can tell there is a lot there, but I can barely smell it no matter how hard I try.
Initial carbonation, into something smooth and pale. Light, creamy, and smooth. No hops. Slight malt, but not typical malt. Is that something citrus-e?
Drinkability is nice. No real alcohol bite at all which is surprising for even its ABV. I could drink a few of these.

Appearance - Poured extremely murky, caramel color with a nice two finger head and great lacing on the glass.
Smell - Smells of sweet fermented fruit...more like wine than beer. Picking up honey, figs, toffee, herbs maybe.
Taste - Extremely sweet...probably too sweet, to the point of cloying, Very winey, some toffee, maple syrup. I find it hard to indulge in more than one. Definite dessert beer here.
Mouthfeel - Creamy, velvety, medium to heavy body....moderate to high carbonation.
Drinkability - Like I said, I can't have more than one of these without getting sick of it.

11.2 oz bottle poured at cellar temperature into a St Bernardus goblet. Appearance is a beautiful cherry mahogany, with a curious, tan head consisting of many sized and textured bubbles. Head eventually receded into sheet lacing. Aroma was raisins, cloves, and fresh baked French bread. Mouthfeel was full bodied, and typical of an abbey dubbel. Taste was very malt based, even for a Belgian. Plums, cherries, raisinbread, bananabread, and some alcohol presence, all combined well for a nice and smooth sipping experience. Finishes smooth and easy.

Small bottle sampled, dating on the label but not sure what it means...oh well, maybe if I spoke Flemish...this one pours dark almond, mahogony fairly clear and supports a dark tan head, which is showing good retention. Leaves some stringy and scattered lacing. Aroma of dark berries, fruit and some rum raisin. Medium bodied Belgian, lots of fruit and smoky raisins and earthy woodyness picked up. Fairly sweet but quite drinkable. Decent, if not spectacular dubbel. Lacks the bold flavors and complexity of the monsters of the style, still worth a try.

Appearance: medium carbonation with a huge head, clear leather brown
Smell: fruity, apples and raisins
Taste: I get a big taste of pear, some green apple and a touch of alcohol
Mouthfeel: smooth, sweet, light body, and moderate carbonation
Drinkability: I would have another couple of these. This beer has the most pronounced pear taste I think I have ever had. Good and smooth--but not excellent.

Poured an opaque and ruddy dark brown. Head was small and tan. Taken to the nose , aromas are dark fruits like grape and plum , yeast , some chocolate , and a bit of bready malt. Taste is is nice mix of sweet malt , chocolate , some more fruitiness on the dark/red side , tinge of metallic flavor near the finish. There is some noble hop bitterness and a light spice in the finish and the aftertaste is of fruit, yeast, and slight steel. Mouthfeel is quite light Overall a nice drinking Dubbel. Didn't wow me but it was definatly well crafted.

First Grimbergen I've sampled hopefully not the last . . Pours a nice clear dark brown . Not cloudy, no evidence of yeast in bottle. Nice white head , one finger with a vigerous pour. Robust smell of malt and slight fruit. Taste was nice and malty the way a dubble should be, minimal hops, nutty , sweet , but not cloyingly so. Very smooth dry finish very very drinkable. Price was a bit steep at 10 bucks a sixer but throughly enjoyable.

Poured into a Belgian Verboden Vrucht glass.
If I was trying to introduce someone to expanding their beer palatte, then this is the dubbel of choice.
It's a beautiful dubbel! The rich dark chocolate colour is also trumped by the full bubbly head that finishes as you pour that lingers in a glass right till the end.
The taste is as finished as it looks in the glass. There is a nice level of Malty layers with just a hint of fruit like finish.
By far and away, one beer I will continue to buy. For those in Australia, Dan Murphys has started importing this, and it is very reasonably priced!
If you are thinking of trying it.. Don't hesitate.

Poured light brown appearance with a decent white head.
Smell is unique. I can't quite pinpoint it, but I kinda like it.
Taste is also interesting. Raisins, honey, and spice, with a definite sweetness. Of course it has that distinctive belgium yeast present - makes me think of liquid bread, baked with small bits of rum-drunk raisins and brown sugar. A little medicinal as well. I'd rank the taste higher if it weren't for the unbalanced sweetness (though not sticky sweet - it is surprisingly thin).
Good carbonation, possibly over carbonated.
Definitely a drinkable belgium double, and unique. Not sure how crazy I am about it though. If you're new to the dubbel style, you'd probably be wise to start elsewhere.

Dark brown ale with great lacing. Aroma was sweet, honey and molasses.
Taste was a mix of banana, clove, caramel, toffee. No hops, pretty much true to style. Don't go knockin' on Belgium's door lookin' for hops or bitterness. More alcohol than I would have preferred to taste. Finishes thin and hot. Not for hopheads.

3.7/5 rDev -2.6%
Dark burnt siena color, chill hazed but hard to see if its heavily sedimented. Darker yellowish head of 1/2 an inch for about 40 seconds. Good lace, attractive and crystalline. Aroma has notes of dark fruit, figs, dried apricots, slightly cognac-like. Carbonation is full but understated in a soft sense of small bubbles. Body about shy of medium overall. Flavor shows a slight sense of overdone alcohol, emerges as a slug of yellow raisins and the least bit of semi-sweet chocolate. Better hopped than some Dubbels, relatively bitter in the close for style. The fruity maltiness doesn't have an evolving emerging sense in this one like many of the other Dubbels that I tend to like more.

Grimbergen Dubbel carries a deep brown body with hints of red in the light. The head poured thick, but it dissipated rather quickly. The aroma contains hints of nuts, and a complex fruity nose along with mocha and barley. In the taste detected flavors of anis, and a roasted barley on the palate. Overall it leaves a nice bitterness, but in my opinion something is unbalanced in the flavor. It is enjoybable, but it feels that something is lacking to make it's flavors work better together.

The board approved the amended architectural and project management contracts for the project. The original contracts were approved in May, but the Jasper City Council made additions and changes to the contracts a few weeks ago.
The architectural contract is with Hoover-based Lathan Associates, while the project management contract is with Birmingham-based Hoar Program Management.
The board also approved an agreement with the city of Jasper to formalize the agreement on ownership of the construction project. The two entities had discussed the need for an agreement at a joint work session last month.
The new Walker High School, which is expected to include a 285,000-square foot building that would house academic classrooms, a competition gym, a practice gym and a 1,500-seat performing arts center, will cost more than $60 million, is slated to be built along Viking Drive. A one-cent sales tax increase to fund the project was passed by the city council last year.
Superintendent Robert Sparkman said after the meeting that he hopes to begin working on the site very soon, but site prep likely won't begin for a few months and won't be completed for at least two or three years.

Greater Manchester Police admit health and safety breach over fatal shooting of Burnley police officer
Updated 3:26pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in News
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) has admitted a health and safety breach over the fatal shooting of one of its officers in a training exercise.
Pc Ian Terry 32, from Burnley, was killed during the GMP firearms training exercise at a disused warehouse in June 2008.
Pc Terry's family attended Liverpool Crown Court as Chief Constable Sir Peter Fahy pleaded guilty on behalf of GMP to a breach of Section 2 of the Health and Safety at Work Act (HSWA).
Two GMP firearms officers, who cannot be named for legal reasons, each denied one count of a breach of Section 7 of the HSWA. The officers, a sergeant and a constable, will stand trial on June 10 at Manchester Crown Court.
Sir Peter, who became chief constable shortly after Pc Terry was killed, was told the force will be sentenced on March 20 and 21 at Preston Crown Court.
Pc Terry, a father of two, was shot as the unit practised in a disused factory in Newton Heath on June 9, 2008.
The officer, who was not wearing body armour, was hit from a distance of about 12in (30.5cm) by a blank round of a specialist ammunition called round irritant personnel, which is not designed to kill but can be deadly at such close range.
He had brandished an unloaded handgun during the exercise while playing the role of a criminal fleeing in a car.
An inquest held at Manchester Coroner's Court in March 2010 found Pc Terry was unlawfully killed.
The jury ruled that there was a catalogue of failures not only by the officer who shot Pc Terry but also in the planning, training and safety measures.

The inspiration behind Perf comes from far away in time and space, creating a lamp which takes you by surprise with its personality: a domestic totem, a friend to follow us all around the home, a fascinating code of luminous openings to be deciphered. The starting point was the concept of perforated lamps as in the North African tradition, but designed with a contemporary fl avour, while being technological and innovative. All metal, light and easy to carry, Perf stands out at fi rst sight with its perforated diffuser in its heavily pronounced shape, bringing to mind the visor of a suit of armour or even an animal's beak. These holes trace out a design fl ickering from regular to irregular, allowing the light passing through to create a hazy magical appearance, almost hypnotic in effect. A totally original luminous gesture, waiting to accompany you through all the different times of your life: the bedroom or living spaces, for reading or studying. Perf is also available as a wall lamp, or as a reading or table lamp, with adjustable diffuser, furnishing a light both suffused yet direc

Keep Big Spring Beautiful – Big Spring, TX
Keep Big Spring Beautiful worked with nearly 200 Big Spring Junior High students to clean up Birdwell Park, located directly behind their school.
In addition to collecting 2,060 pounds of trash and debris, students came across a lost dog during the cleanup. The dog was brought to Big Spring Animal Control.
Student chose to adopt the park as their project for their Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) program. The life-skills program is offered to all seventh graders and taught by a local police officer.
Keep Big Spring Beautiful provided trash bags and gloves for students, and the City of Big Spring donated mosquito-repelling wristbands for the project, which was covered by the local newspaper.
"We hope that it inspires others to take the same pride with the community," said Teresa Darden of Keep Big Spring Beautiful.
Not only is the park cleaner thanks to the students, but it will also become a safer place, as city officials will use the cleanup as a springboard to clear out more brush, reducing the concealed areas within the park.

Gov. Deval Patrick held a late afternoon press conference October 15 to announce cuts totaling $755 million to the FY09 budget. In addition, he filed legislation that includes provisions to raise additional revenues and make other budget changes for which he needs legislative approval. The House and Senate will hold caucuses October 16 to discuss this legislation.
Patrick has the power to make what are called 9C cuts to the budget without legislative approval in certain areas once revenues are projected to drop significantly. The budget deficit for FY09 is expected to reach $1.4 billion as a result of declining revenues. Neither local aid nor Chapter 70 can be cut unless the Legislature approves the cuts.
Funding cuts that take place immediately include:
The governor filed legislation late in the day October 15 to increase revenues and make additional savings in the FY09 budget. Some of the major provisions include:
The governor has asked the Legislature to consider this legislation quickly.

Kashmir – How US Supported Pakistan Subversion
Patrick French's recent tweets are interesting footnotes to India's tortured foreign policy, lurching between Nehru-Eisenhower friendship, to the US-Western support for Pakistan's anti-India activities.

An Englishman named French
Patrick French has written two successful books on India – and is seen as another well-intentioned Indo-phile. His rather patronizing view of Indian leadership (refers to Indian MPs as HMPs – hereditary MPs) has become rather famous in Indian media. Unfortunately his view of Indian MPs as HMPs – hereditary MPs) displays a singular lack in understanding of Western demographics – and Indian society.
But then, he can be equally good, when he is mocking Michael Heseltine's daughter, too!
Soldiers of fortune
Such as his 'understanding' is, he has been smart enough to hitch his career to Rising India than Empty-Shell Britain, his native country.
Much like his other British colleague, William Dalrymple. Or British 'traders' who came to India to make a living – and later, looted, instead.
India's new religion
The Dalrymples and the Frenchs receive a rather warm welcome in India due to their soft-push of liberal-progressive ideas. The same ideas that are behind India's new religion – Westernization.
So enamored with the new religion of 'Westernization' are Indians, that no criticism is accepted or tolerated.
The 'progressive liberal' establishment of the West is viewed benignly in India – and seen as 'well wishers' of India. Many such ideas are welcomed in India without analysis, as the source of such initiatives is seen as well-intentioned. A 'tolerant' and 'open' society like India can be a complacent victim to Trojan horses.
After the dust settles
Much like how Marathas continued to 'accept' Mughal position of rulers of India, long after the claim had expired. Modern India too, accepts Western 'achievements'. Compared to the 'co-operation' with the Islāmic plunderers our 'collaboration' with the West is in no way less damaging or in any way less culpable.
In this context, French's report of this conversation is a rather interesting and independent confirmation of rather malignant (OK, unfriendly, if you will) Western intentions regarding India.

DOVER, Del.- Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden says the state's bail system is too easy on some very serious crimes. And Thursday he renewed a push to change that.
Biden, along with state lawmakers, is re-introducing a proposed amendment to the state's constitution that would expand the kinds of crimes for which someone could be held without bail.
The state's constitution allows for no bail on capital crimes. At one point a number of different crimes were considered capital. But today it's just one - capital murder.
And Biden says the bail system needs "sharper teeth." He says this is about protecting the public and thinks Delaware needs to return to the state constitution's original intent on suspects that could be held without bond."And that is there could be could be certain crimes other than capital murder for which we could seek and ask a judge - if they agree with us - to detain someone who is a danger to the community from the moment we've arrested them to the moment we put their case before a court.""You are presumed innocent," said Alex Funk, a defense attorney in Dover. "When you go to trial on those charges, the jury is told to presume the defendant is innocent. If that individual is being held without bail, what's that saying? It's conveying something a whole lot different from presumption of innocence. It's conveying presumption of guilt. Funk defends clients accused of many things, up to and including capital murder. He describes Biden's proposal with two phrases: "It's highly excessive. It's not needed."Funk said bail is not a get out of jail free card. A judge can set a very high bond on a wide variety of serious crimes to keep someone locked up."For the average person, they're not going to be able to post that bond anyway."But the attorney general's office says that just means rich people, who can post a high amount, get a different version of justice. And Biden says while his proposal gives the opportunity for no bond, it's not a definite."It means we can ask for it," he said. "It doesn't mean the judge is always going to grant it and agree with us."Biden has tried to get this amendment passed twice since taking office, both times unsuccessfully. He says he's more hopeful with the current General Assembly. But, because this is a constitutional amendment, even if it gets the green light this time around, it would still be a few years before the bail system would change.
Along with the amendment, Biden also proposed a new law that would revoke a suspect's bond if, while out on bail for a previous offense, that suspect is arrested for a violent felony. He says since it could take a long time for an amendment to go through, this is something Delaware lawmakers can do now to strengthen the bail system. The full legislature goes back into session next month.

Gwinnett Braves 2, Indianapolis Indians 3
- Tood Cunningham Cf 2-4 2B(2), K, .228 Avg
- Joey Terdoslavich RF 2-4 RBI(16), CS(2), .330 Avg
- Ernesto Mejia 1B 2-4 2B(5), BB, .286 Avg
- Omar Poveda 7IP 3H 2R 5BB 6K 1.93 ERA
The Braves controlled this one all the way until the 7th inning when Poveda gave up the tying run on a bases loaded walk. Poveda pitched a nice game, but his walks were his undoing. Joey Terdoslavich knocked in the Braves first run on a single following a double from Cunningham. Cunningham's double was just his third extra base hit of the season. His strikeout rate has also jumped in AAA after striking out just 10% of the time at AA he is up to 17% in Gwinnett.
Mississippi Braves 4, Huntsville Stars 1 - 7 Innings
- Christian Marrero 1B 1-2 HR(3), RBI(12), 2 BB, K, .264 Avg
- Edward Salcedo 3B 1-3, 2B(4), 2 RBI(11), BB, SB(4), .259 Avg
- Gus Schlosser 6IP 4H 1R 3BB 7K 4.84ERA
Gus Schlosser put in an excellent start holding the Stars to just one run through six innings. In his last two starts he has a line of 12 IP 5H 1R 4BB and 12K. His heavy sinker helps him keep the ball on the ground which has resulted in a 2.92 ground ball rate (including two double plays today). Salcedo's bat has begun to stir in the past few games with five extra base hits in his last six games including all four of his double this season.
Mississippi Braves 5, Huntsville Stars 0 - Makeup from 4/28 - 8 Innings
- Dan Brewer LF 2-4 RBI(4), SB(6) CS(1), .262 Avg
- Jose Martinez RF 2-4, 2B(4), 2 RBI(13), .317 Avg
- Mycal Jones CF 2-3, 2 SB(9), .194 Avg
- Cody Martin 4IP 4H 0R 0BB 5K 3.66 ERA
- Pat Egan 2IP 0H 0R 0BB 5K 1.38 ERA
The Braves take the makeup game after scoring five runs in the top of the 8th inning on six hits. Cody Martin shut down the Stars offense for four innings and the Braves bullpen pitched four innings allowing just one hit to go along with eight strikeouts. With this win the Braves take a half game lead over Jacksonville for first place in the Southern Division.
Winston-Salem Dash 3, Lynchburg Hillcats 6
- Tommy La Stella DH 0-2 2BB, .000 Avg
- William Beckwith 1B 1-4, 2B(5), RBI(17), .278 Avg
- Robby Hefflinger LF 1-4, HR(8), 2 RBI(18), .318 Avg
- Kyle Kubitza 3B 1-4, 2B (9), K, .269 Avg
- David Rohm RF 1-4, 2B(10), RBI(15), .355 Avg
- AJ Holland 7IP 7H 1R 4BB 2K 3.38 ERA
Lynchburg is already sporting what is probably the most prolific offense in the Carolina League and they got Tommy La Stella back today. Robby Hefflinger hit his league leading eighth home run. He is currently first in homers, second in RBI, third in OPS, and second in SLG. David Rohm is fourth in OPS, second in batting average and OBP and he is tied for the league lead in doubles.
Rome 1, Greensboro Grasshoppers 0 - Game 1, 10 Innings
- Jose Peraza SS 3-5, RBI(4), CS(3), .263 Avg
- Brian McCann C 0-4, K, .273 Avg
- Williams Perez 6IP 4H 0R 0B 3K 3.08 ERA
Williams Perez pitched his longest and best outing of the season, shutting down the Grasshoppers for six strong innings. Perez hasn't been dominant so far this season, but the sum of his parts has equalled into a nice season thus far. He doesn't walk many guys and he does a good job of keeping the ball on the ground. Brian McCann started out with a bang in Rome but put a zero on the board tonight. Hopefully a couple more games in Rome will be enough to knock the rust off.
Rome 9, Greensboro Grasshoppers 6 - Game 2, 7 Innings
- Ronald Luna SS 3-5 2B(3), RBI(3), K, CS(3), .286 Avg
- Levi Hyams 2B 1-4 3B(1), RBI(5), K, .304 Avg
- Josh Elander LF 0-2 2BB, .309 Avg
- Carlos Franco 3B 2-3 HR(1), 3 RBI(13), BB, SB(6), CS(1), .232 Avg
- Tyler Tewell DH 3-4 HR(1), 3 RBI(6), SB(2), .281 Avg
Rome's offense exploded in the second game of the day with Ronald Luna setting the table for the offense behind a three hit day. Between the two games Braves shortstops combined to go 6-10. Tyler Tewell and Carlos Franco both went yard for the first time this season. Franco has started to turn his offense around recently with a .324 Avg in his last 10 games with a .910 OPS. His power has been minimal so far but he has walked seven time vs just eight strikeouts during the last ten games to go along with five stolen bases. His biggest problem this season has been against left handers, against whom he is hitless in eight at bats.

UMass Boston 3, Middlebury 1
Middlebury/UMass Boston Box Score
The first semifinal match found #3-seeded Middlebury taking a one-set lead right off the bat. The Panthers captured that first set, 25-20.
But the #2-seeded Beacons found their way in the next two sets, winning 25-19, 25-19. In the final set, UMass-Boston had to battle, but wound up winning, 29-27
With the win, UMass-Boston is now 29-4. Middlebury ends its season at 25-6.
Sophomore middle hitter Shannon Thompson had a great match for UMass-Boston. She finished with a match-high 22 kills, committing nine errors, on 48 swings. She also had eight blocks and 16 digs.
"I thought Shannon had a phenomenal match," said UMass-Boston Head Coach Terry Condon. "It was hard imagining her playing much better.
"But it was a vey good team effort for us tonight," said Condon. "We received good contributions from others.
"As for tomorrow, no matter who we play, it is sure to be a real battle," said Condon.
Said Middlebury Head Coach Sarah Raunecker, "It was a great match. They proved to be a great team."
Sophomore outside hitter Julia Gibbs (Houston, Texas) finished with 15 kills for the Panthers. She also had nine digs and two blocks. Junior outside hitter Jane Handel (Evanston, Ill.) also had 14 kills and 17 digs. Sophomore Caitlin Barrett (Medfield, Mass.) had a match-high 25 digs.
UMass-Boston finished with 11.5 blocks to Middlebury's 5.0
Springfield 3, Amherst 0
In tonight's second semifinal, the host team, Springfield College, took down its second straight team from the NESCAC conference, this time defeating #1-seed Amherst, three sets to none. Set scores for #5-seeded Springfield were 25-13, 25-18, 25-20.
Last night, SC took down #4-seeded Tufts in the quarterfinals, also by a 3-0 score.
With the win, Springfield is now 31-4. Amherst finishes at 25-4.
The Pride tonight were led by NEWMAC Conference Player of the Year Sarah Lang-Rodean, a middle blocker from Mansfield Center, Connecticut. Lang-Rodean finished with 19 kills and had just three errors in 33 swings. She hit .485.
When asked if tonight's match began and ended with the play of Lang-Rodean, Springfield Head Coach Joel Dearing said, "It certainly began with Sarah. She had eight kills in game #1 all by herself. But we had some others who came alive after that, especially Heather Lively.
"Heather was such a force at the net," said Dearing, "both attacking and blocking. But at the end of the day, we had some very good efforts with an aggressive style of offense, and a gritty effort defensively."
Lively finished with nine kills and hit .250, while Meaghan Hart was sensational on defense for the Pride, racking up a match-high 20 digs. Tessa Smolinski (Hebron, Conn.) had seven kills, Lauren Torvi (North Smithfield, R.I.) six, and Kim Giaquinto (Massapequa, N.Y.) six. Giaquinto hit .357, Torvi .267.
For Amherst, junior Cristy Meier (San Anselmo, Calif.) led with 13 kills and hit .323. She was the only Lord Jeff to register double figures in kills. Sophomore Abigail Hunter (Kentfield, Calif.) was next with four kills. Sophomore setter Callie Neilson (Escondido, Calif.) and senior defensive specialist Rachel York (Los Angeles, Calif.) each had a team-high 12 digs.
Springfield will play UMass-Boston Sunday at 4 pm in Blake Arena for the Regional Championship and the right to travel to St. Louis for the nationals.

Dang! Over a rap battle??? Y'all just can't take the L and go home???
Like the defense experts always say, NEVER, EVER, EVER allow yourself to be taken to a different location. One's rate of survival drops dramatically if taken from point A, so if you are ever threatened, that is the time to "either fight or flight", but never go willingly.

DALLAS —Running is popular and one of the least expensive ways to get in shape--just lace up a pair of shoes and run.
Adrian Hasenbauer got hooked years ago and now enters marathon and triathlon events.
Last October she took part the Longhorn Half Ironman in Austin, TX.
She struggled to finish because of pain in her you know what.
"Center of my right glute," Adrian said while she pointed to the spot. "Right here where my hamstring connects to my glute."
Adrian suffered for almost two years before finally being diagnosed with dead butt syndrome.
The run-up was a rocky road.
"Frustrating that it was painful to do it," Adrian said. "Frustrating that eventually I had to completely stop and frustrating that I couldn't figure out how to fix it."
That is until she was referred to Stefani Wylie--clinical director at TexStar physical therapy in Dallas.
Dead Butt Syndrome is basically tendon inflammation in one of the butt's three big muscles.
"A lot of times, not always, but a lot of times it can go right in the butt," Wylie said. "Sometimes it can go into that hamstring a little bit."
Once a week Wylie guides Adrian through a series of exercises that stretch and strengthen her glutes.
Wylie says dead butt syndrome is common in runners who don't cross train to strengthen surrounding muscles.
"I always tell my runners that they need to do something in the gym that's going to work on strengthening core, hips, those kinds of things," Wylie said. "There are a lot of problems when you have weakness there."
Adrian said the pain was intense she stopped running.
"I was at the point in November where I had run a couple of times and I'm talking maybe a four mile run," Adrian said. "It hurt so bad for three or four days after that I was literally like it's not worth it to run anymore."
But not anymore--after two months of rehab--with more to go--Adrian is on the road to recovery.
"Now I can go out and run and I'm fine."

In order to access the DLC directly on your PS3, you require a Vita. You can't even get to the point where you would see the levels if you don't have a Vita activated on your end. You can also join a friend that has a Vita, and then play the levels as well. In order for you to use the Vita yourself, you would need to use the share account with that profile loaded up, not your main. Also, there is one trophy that you can not get without owning a Vita yourself (playing 5 community levels).
anybody know if the LPB2 cross control pack DLC would be sharable?
So it is shareable, if you have a friend w/ a Vita to join, and aren't bothered to get all the trophies.
