Last week, the Obama administration announced a settlement with the nation's five biggest banks over charges of mortgage fraud. This settlement between the banks and 49 states (Oklahoma has not signed on) amounts to an estimated $27 billion. The sum would be paid out in the form of principal reduction and restitution checks to homeowners and people who have lost their homes to foreclosure.
Yes, this is the largest payout by the banks since the start of the financial crisis. But we know that this amount can only begin the process of rectifying the damage the banks have done.More »
Lately, bad news for the banking industry has meant good news for the public — especially for the millions of people who continue to suffer through the housing crisis. So today was a good day.
This morning, New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman filed a massive lawsuit against Bank of America, J.P. Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo regarding their fraudulent use of robosigning and the electronic mortgage registry known as "MERS." While the suit is specific to New York, it could spark other states to take similar action.More »
ColorOfChange just launched a new site to help force real accountability for the big banks responsible for the economic crisis. Today, President Obama received more than 360,000 signatures from people all over the country who want his administration to stand with homeowners and investigate the banks responsible for the mortgage crisis. The stakes couldn't be higher for Black America, which has watched its wealth plummet to the lowest its been in 25 years. Our communities have suffered disproportionately from predatory lending practices. If you signed our petition, that's great! Now it's time to engage in some direct action.More »
Today we launched a campaign calling on President Obama and Attorney General Holder to stand up to big banks and push for a full investigation of those responsible for the foreclosure crisis that devastated Black wealth. Check out the email we sent to our more than 800,000 members today and join the campaign here.More »
When California ColorOfChange members went to the polls last year to help elect Kamala Harris as the state's Attorney General, this was exactly the type of bold action they were hoping Harris would deliver. Harris, California's first elected black DA and the nation's first elected South Asian DA, announced this week that she would ally with Nevada's AG to investigate misconduct and fraud in the mortgage industry. In other words, Harris said 'no' to an in-the-works plan to let the big banks off with a $20 million settlement-- a slap on the wrist that in no way compensates for the devastation brought on by their predatory practices.More »
Last week ColorOfChange urged members to participate in "Move Your Money Day" on November 5, 2011. The push on Saturday was part of an ongoing international campaign to get as many people as possible to move their money from large corporate banks to local banks and credit unions.More »

Scratch and Sniff Cannabis campaign hits the streets
People are being asked to help police bust cannabis farms by sniffing them out.
Cannabis gives off a different smell when it is growing than when it is being smoked.
More than seven hundred farms have been raided in the West Midlands in the past two years.
Today the Crimestoppers charity has been out and about with a scratch and sniff card impregnated with the smell of a cannabis plant to help people spot if someone's cultivating near them.

Side note – ILCOR, The International Liaison Committee On Resuscitation has not found any supporting evidence for the Autopulse. They are the ones whom do the research for AHA. Also, transporting patients without a pulse should be re-looked at by any agency performing this practice. The initial treatment at the ER will not differ from the treatment we provide at the scene per ACLS guidelines. Why not give the patient the best chance possible. If they don't get a pulse back on scene, it is probably never going to come back–that's just the facts.

Registration has officially opened on SBO for the Palo Alto Bicycles 2008 "Ronde van Brisbeen" presented by Kaiser-Permanente. A few new twists have been added to the weekend, principally switching the traditional dates for the Criterium and Circuit races.
Team Oakland and Pilarcitos Cyclesports have always placed their priority on rider safety at the Brisbane Highlands Circuit Race making sure delivery trucks and riders are never on the same page. Held on Saturday since 2004, the heavy volume of semi-truck traffic is significantly lighter on sunday and the City of Brisbane is much happier if we switch dates for our venues. 2008 RvB will present the "Sierra Point Criterium" on saturday, March 29th and the finale, "Brisbane Highlands Circuit Race", will occur on Sunday, March 30th.
We'll be presenting the traditional Girl Scout "Thin Mint" cookies to our podium guests, as well as a continually expanding prize list. And a very special offer for the first 150 riders who sign up for the whole weekend - commemorative cloth cycling caps in Green and Black - the full retro "Ronde van Brisbeen" experience.

and extremely high temperatures can leave your lawn looking less than spectacular.
you allow your lawn to go dormant during hot dry spells, leave it dormant until
cooler temperatures and rains return so nature can get it growing again. Those lawns taken in and out of dormancy
with irregular watering are the most stressed and less likely to recover.
provide lawns with ¼ inch of water once a month during extended droughts. This keeps the crown of the plant alive
without breaking dormancy.
protect your lawn by minimizing foot and equipment traffic that can injure the
drought-stressed grass.
do not apply weedkillers and high nitrogen fast release fertilizers to the lawn
in summer. These chemicals can damage
your lawn during hot weather. Plus, new
weeds are the first to replace those the herbicide killed.
Proper fertilization will increase your lawn's ability to survive the stresses
of heat, drought, and pests. Leave short
clippings on the lawn to return moisture, nutrients, and organic matter to the
soil. Use a low nitrogen slow release fertilizer, like Milorganite, that encourages slow steady growth and won't
burn the lawn during hot dry weather.

Evita's Ricky Martin at Work on New Series for NBC
By Andrew Gans
Ricky Martin, who will conclude his run in the Broadway revival of Evita Jan. 26, 2013, is currently developing a new television series for NBC, according to the Associated Press.
The celebrated singer will produce, write and star in the series that plans to humorously tackle social issues. The program is aiming for a 2013 debut.
As previously reported, Martin will also become a judge on the Australian version of the singing competition "The Voice." He replaces coach Keith Urban, who departed the program to become a judge on Fox-TV's "American Idol." Martin, who was also seen on Broadway during the original run of Les Miserables, will join returning "Voice" judges Seal, Joel Madden and Delta Goodrem. A launch date for the new season of the Australian "The Voice" has yet to be announced.
The Latin superstar is also writing a family-friendly book, which is due in summer 2013. The actor told AP, "I think it's time to write about things that I've been through with my kids that I'm sure many daddys out there will understand."
The Tony-nominated revival of Evita continues at the Marquis Theatre.

The things we forget about the March on Washington are the things we most need to remember 50 years on.
We forget that the majestically peaceful assemblage that moved a nation came in the wake of brutal resistance to civil rights and equality. And that there would be more to come.
A young organizer named John Lewis spoke at the march of living "in constant fear of a police state." He would suffer more. On March 7, 1965, Lewis and his colleague Hosea Williams led marchers across the Edmund Pettus Bridge in Selma, Ala. They were
met by mounted state troopers who would fracture Lewis' skull. As we celebrate Lewis' ultimate triumph and his distinguished career in the House of Representatives, we should never lose sight of all it took for him to get there.
We forget that the formal name of the great gathering before the Lincoln Memorial was the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom. Jobs came first, an acknowledgement that the ability to enjoy liberty depends upon having the economic wherewithal to exercise our rights. The organizing manual for the march, as Michele Norris points out in Time magazine, spoke of demands that included "dignified jobs at decent wages." It is a demand as relevant as ever.
We forget that many who were called moderate — including good people who supported civil rights — kept counseling patience and worried that the march might unleash violence.
King answered them in the oration that would introduce tens of millions of white Americans to the moral rhythms and scriptural poetry that define the African-American pulpit.
"We have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of now," King declared. "This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism." How often has the opiate of delay been prescribed to scuttle social change?
King's dream speech was partly planned and partly improvised, as Taylor Branch reported in "Parting the Waters," his book on the early King years. One reviewer of the speech, a principal target of King's persuasion, pronounced it a success. "He's damn good," President John F. Kennedy told his aides in the White House.


text: Six teens are in police custody after a heated confrontation with a man led to an exchange of words and, ultimately, gun fire.Harper Woods Police Chief Jim Burke was on the close call that left the victim's ride riddled with bullets. It was a frightening encounter with roughly a dozen rowdy teens. It all began after security kicked them out of Eastland Mall for making a scene.They were walking down Kelly Road when they spotted the 49-year-old Eastpointe man and, according to police, began harassing him."There was a bunch of words exchanged, a verbal altercation. Threats were made," says Chief Burke.But nothing happened. The victim went on to pick up his vehicle from a nearby repair shop. He spotted the teens again while driving down Elkhart, and later a Harper Woods cop."Before he could get to the uniformed officer they recognized him, saw him. One of the members of the group just came running up, point blank, pulled a gun out of his waistband, charged at him and tried to kill him," says Chief Burke. At least two shots were fired. None penetrated the car.Chief Burke says, "He's very lucky to be alive, honestly. It's a terrible incident. He did the right thing, he saw the threat - took off." The teens did the same and police followed, and later arrested half a dozen people. All will likely be booked on assault charges.Police are looking for four or six more people who may have been involved in the shooting. If you have any information about what happened call the Harper Woods Police Department. Phone: 313-343-2530

Makeup: Tom Pecheux for Estée Lauder
Hair: Guido Palau for Redken
Nails: Elisa Ferri for Zoya
MAKEUP: "These are polished girls!" said Tom Pecheux of the fresh-faced models—from Jacquelyn Jablonski and Frida Gustavsson to Jourdan Dunn—he prepped for Lauren's spring runway. To complement the sumptuous silks and soft pastels in the collection ("maybe his most feminine ever," said Pecheux), "Ralph wanted the makeup to look like a painting." The key words for skin were "fresh and gorgeous," and "very matte, not glowy."
HAIR: On creating a classic ponytail to fit the Lauren lady, Palau said, "It shouldn't be so high that it looks too young." When done right, "it's very classic and has an easy elegance."
ON SKIN: To achieve seamless skin, Pecheux test-drove Estée Lauder's soon-to-be-launched Invisible Fluid Makeup, an ultra-lightweight liquid foundation that offered a flawless matte finish. He dusted the cheeks with a shade of apricot-peach and filled in the apples with a rosy blush. "That pop of pink in the middle gives it a three-dimensional effect," said Pecheux.
ON EYES: Pecheux covered lids with a veil of matte white eye shadow and added a few swipes of black mascara to the top lashes "for some flavor." Of the polished brows, he said, "it's all a bit aristocratic."
ON LIPS: Slicked with Estée Lauder Pure Color Gloss in Citron Kiss (a transparent yellow-gold), lips looked glossy, yet refined.
ON HAIR: Palau loves a ponytail—especially when its low and free to "do its own thing." This meant letting the hair fall into a natural part and using his fingers—"which gives it some lift, a big difference from using a brush"—to pull the hair back. He worked in Redken Guts 10 Volume Spray Foam for added bounce and wrapped a thin piece of hair around the rubber band to conceal it. Palau put curlers in the ends of the ponytails "so it didn't drag."
ON NAILS: Manicurist Elisa Ferri, a fifteen-year presence backstage at Ralph Lauren's shows, used the translucent Zoya shade called Erin on models' hands and feet. "I like it because it's not flat," she explained. "There's a hint of reflective glimmer."

As he put it, "The real reason I do this is because of the beauty of God's creation… I always think of the scripture that says even nature tells us that there is a God. "
Quick to deflect praise from himself, Steele stated, "I planted the seed, but I did not make the seed."
Steele said his plants reach as high as 1 feet seven inches, a peak height for the plant, which can be as short as five feet or as tall as twelve feet. Steele denied that there was anything special about his soil.
"They like the sun, a little fertilizer, and water during droughts, but other than that are very low maintenance plants," Steele said.
He noted that storms were the only real danger to his plants that have fragile stalks and are easily blown over by harsh winds.
His Aunt, who grows her own sunflowers in Florida, sparked Steele's interest to cultivate the flowers at home in Alabama.
Since then, he has learned a lot about sunflowers, including that deer liked them just as much as he did. A small electric wire fixed that problem until the sunflowers were too tall for the deer to reach anymore.
He has also learned that sunflowers may get there name not only from their resemblance to the sun, but from the fact that they lean toward the east in the morning and slowly follow the sun across the sky until they are pointing toward the west in the evening.
Though Steele grows his sunflowers for pure enjoyment, their seeds have many uses for those who are interested in cultivating their own plants. The seeds may be roasted or eaten raw for a healthy snack or a unique salad topping. For those who are allergic to peanuts or just looking for a healthy alternative, they may be ground in a food processor to make "sunflower butter." Oil may also be extracted from the seeds and used for cooking and baking.
Steele hopes to encourage other people to grow sunflowers of their own so that more people will have the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of them. "There's just something about the sunflower… I think people used to grow them more than they do now and I just like for people to see them and enjoy them."

In the second fight of the UFC 158 Facebook prelims, T.J. Dillashaw (7-17-4) knocked out Issei Tamura () in the second round of their bout. T.J. extended his win streak to 3 fights. He's now 3-1 as a UFC fighter. Tamura has lost his last two UFC fights and sports a UFC record of 1-2.
The Bantamweights got off to a slow start in round 1. Dillashaw got some solid shots in, but still left the crowd booing as they worked against the cage midway through the round. All that changed in round 2, though. Immediately after the bell rang, T.J. landed a left knee to the head that dropped Tamura and followed up with some brutal ground and pound to get the stoppage at 0:26.
What was the high point of the fight?
The finishing sequence, obviously. The knee from Dillashaw was timed beautifully and landed perfectly.
Where do they go from here?
T.J. Dillashaw has now won three consecutive fights since coming in second place in The Ultimate Fighter 14 tournament. Now that he's gotten a few marks in the win column, it's time for him to start moving up the 135 lb. ladder.
It's very possible that Issei Tamura will be looking for a new employer after Saturday night's fight. The loss to Dillashaw was his second since winning his UFC debut and both were by violent KO.
Watch it now, later, or never?
You'll want to watch the finish now, but no one will blame you if you fast forward through round 1.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) - Tony Parker had 20 points and the San Antonio Spurs held the Brooklyn Nets to only five points in the third quarter en route to a 104-73 win Monday night.
Tim Duncan added 15 points and Nando DeColo had 11, while Kawhi Leonard, Tiago Splitter and Matt Bonner chipped in 10 apiece for San Antonio (25-8), which went 9-0 at home in December.
MarShon Brooks had a season-high 16 points to lead Brooklyn (16-15), which suffered its first loss under interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo. Joe Johnson added 12 points and Brook Lopez had 11, but Deron Williams was held to eight points and one assist.
San Antonio set a franchise low for fewest points by an opponent in the third quarter when it held Brooklyn to 10% shooting (2 for 20). The Nets missed six 3-point attempts in the third and also had seven turnovers.

Winchester tax-payers could foot bill after city council mistake (From Basingstoke Gazette)

Winchester tax-payers could foot bill after city council mistake
1:00pm Wednesday 26th March 2014 in News
TAX-PAYERS could end up footing a significant legal bill after Winchester City Council mistakenly registered part of Mid-Hampshire Railway Ltd as "an asset of community value".
Under recent legislation, pubs, play areas and other important facilities can be legally ring-fenced to prevent a quick sale, without those living nearby having an option to buy them.
A nomination by New Alresford Town Council to make the Watercress Line's Station Road car park a community asset was approved by the city council and added it to its web list last December.
But when the city council realised the application mistakenly included land it owned itself, Corporate Director Steve Tilbury last week moved to declare the listing "null and void".
"They (the town council) caused us to believe land would be included that it became apparent they didn't mean to include," he told a listing review at the Guildhall.
Scott Stemp, representing the Watercress Line, said the railway's owners had been surprised by the nomination of their Alresford car park, not least because the name and address of the nominee had been scored out with black ink.
Seeking to have the application knocked out for the next five years, he said Mid-Hampshire Railway would be forced to seek compensation from the city council for the legal fees they had run up fighting the now-defunct listing.
Richard Sturt, also representing Mid-Hampshire Railway Ltd said: "My client is a charity, they don't wish to be in this position. But they have been forced to engage lawyers to defend this."
Mr Tilbury will now publish his review findings within eight weeks.
City council property and licensing solicitor Cindy Tetstall said the blackening out of the name of the nominee on the forms sent to the Watercress Line should not have happened.
A spokeswoman for New Alresford Town Council was not available to comment at the time of going to press.

Texas boardwalk evacuated because of bomb scare
Published On: Dec 27 2012 09:05:43 AM CST
A harmless device spotted in the water off a Southeast Texas marina led to the area being evacuated for several hours.
The device was spotted late Wednesday off the Kemah Boardwalk, southeast of Houston on Galveston Bay.
Kemah emergency management coordinator Bill Kerber says the device looked to some like a bomb.
The boardwalk was emptied while police divers investigated.
Divers found what appeared to be a device once used for military training. It appears to have been lost from an old salvage yard.
Kerber says the device will be scrapped.

The Men of St. Joseph understand that with each other's support and shared accountability it becomes a little easier.

By John Robb I've often said that cartoonist J.D. Crowe has the best job in local journalism and usually does it with great talent and insight. But his editorial cartoon about our illegal immigration crisis, captioned "Who Would Jesus Deport?" simply asks the wrong question. God doesn't meddle in our civil affairs like a hovering puppeteer. As a Catholic, I believe Jesus is our Creator of everything in this world including us and our wonderful neighbors south of us. Part of this creation is free will that God gave us to order our lives so we can better serve God through fruitful service to ea... [continue reading]

That's a very interesting post from thesuede
It would be good to see the original files and see details of the adapter to mount that lens on that camera used I was wondering if there is a bit of an extension tube effect?
Generally if something is too good to be true there is a clue that there may be a catch. Any results that indicate that a camera like the pentax q can out perform a camera like the 5d2 is an interesting result.
Outperform is a broad word without an appropriate context. The Pentax SENSOR, from a spatial standpoint, definitely outperforms the 5D II. That is a simple function of pixels per unit area, and the Pentax plain and simply has more. There is nothing really "too good to be true" about that fact.
There are numerous areas where performance can be measured and compared, in addition to the sensor. For one, despite it's greater spatial resolution, the Pentax will suffer at higher ISO due to it's smaller pixel size (which is still much smaller, despite it being a BSI sensor). It just can't compare to the significantly greater surface area of the 5D II's pixels, which should perform well at high ISO.
The Pentax outperforms in terms of sheer spatial resolution, but I would say the 5D II outperforms in most other areas, such as ISO performance, image resolution, camera build and ergonomics, the use of a huge optical viewfinder, shutter speed range, etc.

It wasn't enough that the Yankees found themselves embroiled in drama after Jorge Posada refused to play against the Red Sox on Saturday night. No - after smoothing that situation over, the Yankees then found themselves embroiled in drama after captain Derek Jeter spoke in Posada's defense. The Yankees were reportedly upset that their shortstop involved himself in the situation and forgave Posada for his behavior.
But hey, great news now everybody! Via Mark Feinsand:
According to a team source, the Yankees have spoken with Derek Jeter and all is fine between them.
Jeter, Levine, Cashman and Hal held a conference call early this afternoon. Jeter: "We're all on the same page."
Well that's a relief. At last, perhaps everybody can move on, and maybe everybody can move on having learned a thing or two from this whole nightmare. Maybe next time a player does something objectionable in the clubhouse, it should stay within the clubhouse so the entire organization doesn't look silly in the aftermath.
For the record, Jorge Posada is not in Monday's starting lineup. But that's because the Yankees are facing David Price, and not because of any disciplinary actions.

3.55/5 rDev -4.1%
Poured into a deep, wide wine glass.
Appearance: Pours a medium straw color with a nice, half-inch white head. Lacing sticks strongly the edges of the glass. When held up to the light, we see a nice, translucent beer with a minimal amount of carbonation.
Smell: There is a faint smell of malts, and a very small hint of fruit. Overall, I have a hard time detecting a scent on this brew. It is rather faint.
Taste: Begins with a sweet taste of fruit, namely grapefruit and peaches. There is also a malty character. It gives way to a slight spicy flavor, but nothing all that intense. The finish is crisp, and leaves no aftertaste. This light-colored ale, for me, is a good example of what yellow-colored beers should taste like: flavorful, crisp, and refreshing. Not all too complex, but it is enjoyable.
Mouthfeel: The body is light and thin, with minimal carbonation, just about what I would expect from a beer of this style.
Drinkability: It would be easy to down several of these in an evening. They aren't filling, and the flavor is enticing enough to attract you to drink some more.

Poured into a small tulip glass a light golden with a fluffy white head that had decent lasting power,aromas of lemon and toasted grain with some yeasty clove as well.Flavors are pretty yeasty up front with some bubblegum and clove phenolic flavors melding into some citric and toasted tones.Decent but a little to phenolic and yeasty for me still not all bad.

Ive been walking around Grenoble playing the local pastime (avoiding dog crap on the side walk) for hours. Im thirsty and if one more angry, unemployed young man shouts at me, or another homeless guy dressed in fatigues tries to lead me down some back alley Im going to go D-day on this place. I finally find an open bar that I can get into but the taps are just terrible. A large poster proudly proclaims that they serve bud light. Desperado posters line the other walls. I notice after some searching that they have Grimbergen on one of their taps. That will do, I think to myself. I had a can of that the other day and it was decent.
I order two 83 oz giraffes (because Im so stressed from the anti-Americanism and dog crap). I sit down and set about consuming the brew but it's different. I taste apples, nasty, rotten fermented apples. That is all. That is all that is going on in this beer. It is terrible. My friends and I finish our nasty brew and leave. All of us come down with a horrible case of that stuff thats all over the sidewalks. I wont be revisiting this one anytime soon.

3.35/5 rDev -9.5%
APP- Dense but low rocky white head w/ thick sticky lace above a copper colored beer. Crystal clear but luster lacks brilliance.
NOSE- The beer opens with a melange of apple, nut, banana, lemon, marmelade, white grape, pear, hint of basil, floral hop, and big hits of sweet Belgian malt with bread and cake characters. As it breathes and warms the banana in particular begins to dominate. The aroma is complex but unrefined. It is not cohesvie. I find it a little overwhelming to the senses, though it is classically Belgian.
FLAVOR- Flavors sweep over the palate and coat it with sweet caramel and toffee malt flavors lavered over fruit-cocktail in syrup with some vanilla in the finish. It would be very pleasant except for alcohol is hot and highly distracting. Minty-herbal hop flavor lingers in long finish though the beer is not very bitter.
MOUTHFEEL- This is Grimbergen's downfall. The beer is medium bodied with a slick, thick, syrupy, maltiness that gets torn in half by sharp alcohol and leaves a long medicinal? astringent finish.
OVERALL- Enough redeeming qualities to interest me in the rest of the brewer's line-up, but won't be revisiting this one any time soon. Reminds me very much of the "Devil-themed" Belgian Golden Strong ales, which aside from Duvel and a few US interpretations, I usually don't dig.

A - Exceptionally clean, obviously not bottle condition, fluffy white head that fell quickly to a covering.
S - Sweet, spicy, with some apple aroma.
T - Pale malt, green apple, a touch of clove. Unfortunately, ended with a little metallic twang.
M - Thin, crisp, and clean with a little carbonic burn at the end.
D - Very refreshing but with a 6.7% ABV could sneak up on you quick if you treat it like session beer.
A worthy Belgian Blonde that could be much better if not for a couple flaws.

Crystal clear, solid rather thick heard. I think I would prefer it maybe a bit cloudy, this is very clear. Id also like to see some sediment in the bottle.
Smells a little boozy, maybe even metallic. Maybe some breadiness at the end. I would like some yeastiness, but I feel im getting crisp lager smell. Nothing much Belgian.
Semi-sweet, Belgian yeast with malt finish. Lightly hopped. Very thankful none of the smells are coming out in the taste. Lightly, very delicate hops. Barely bitter, no aroma present.
Sits Belgian sweet, candi sugarish, but light. Might be a tad too much. Very surprised none of the booze is coming out, it is at ~7% abv.
Ok. I doubt ill be going back to this Belgian Blonde (I mean Pale). I will be trying a few more out until I find one I want to clone.

11.2 ounce bottle, nice label, with an eagle and sort of stained glass looking. Pours clear, light and golden. Not much head, lower carbonation, tiny bubble film light and wispy lacing. Nose is pineapple and some yeast. Notes of bublegum, more pineapple, lemony and fairly refreshing. Would go great with a warm waether salad. Ffairly light bodied and a tad thin. Less complex then the top notch pales also lower in alcohol. Less interesting then hoped for, still a tasty and pleasant drink.

Poured from 12oz bottle into standard pint glass. This is the second Grimbergen I have had and I have yet to be disappointed. Vigorous pour yields one finger snow white head. Minimal head retention with some lacing. Beer is straw colored and crystal clear. Smells of clean belgian yeast with hints of fruits, apple and banana. Taste very clean, slight fruit but not overly fruity, candy sugar compliments the light malt character. Very taste beverage with a clean finish. Beer is highly drinkable, and refreshing, perfect summer brew and at 6.7% it lets you know you are drinking it.

3.95/5 rDev +6.8%
A 330ml bottle with a BB of Oct 2011. The label has an image of a phoenix and the latin motto 'burns but is not consumed'. Well it may not burn, but it will be consumed...
Poured into a Stella chalice. A bright golden colour with good carbonation; once it settles a column of fine bubbles rises from the centre of the glass. A large foamy white head tops it off; this slowly reduces to leave a thin covering of foam. A strong sweet aroma with hints of fruit and alcohol - complex and interesting.
A sweet malty taste with an element of sourness as you swallow. Notes of yeast, esters and fruit; no bitterness to speak of. Alcohol becomes more obvious as the liquid warms, unbalancing the flavour somewhat. Mouthfeel is smooth but astringent, leaving a dry sensation.
This is highly drinkable, and goes down nicely. The flavour is more involved than many beers, but not overwhelming. Worth seeking out to try.

Marginally hazy appearance, lots of bubbles and yellow. Aroma is sweet, but has something that is kind of an afront, but not alcohol.
Taste, lemon, orange, coriander, zippy feel to it. Slight buttery aspect. Mouthfeel throughout leaves no surprises. Extremely expensive for what it is, plenty of similar beers (mothership wit comes to mind) for a lot less $.

3.18/5 rDev -14.1%
Clear (I was expecting bottle conditioned) darker yellow with a nice head of 1/2 of an inch. Laces well, spidery with good cling though. Aroma is lightly astringent, unripe pineapple with some yeast and lime. Flavor starts decently full, adequate body and carbonation, with sense of esters, some sugary sweetness, and citrus fruit. The brew loses an impression of more sturdy malts about halfway through the mouth and settles into an overly sourish quality, with a loss of texture at the close. Somewhat quaffable but it loses its drinkability at the finish, not settling great with me at the end.

Undated 330 ml bottle serrved in a goblet.
Pours with excellent clarity and a durable white head that leaves fine sticky lacing.
Smells of soft fruits, yeast, light baked bread.
Flavor: also fruity and bready.
Feel: medium-light body; soft carbonation; a bit astringent.
O: a solid Belgian light ale.

OPEN Forum takes a look at smart nightly rituals to ensure a productive day. Our favorite? Chris Brogan's night time to-do list:
Chris Brogan, author and founder of Human Business Works, provides an interesting twist to the traditional to-do list. It's a powerful, five-part preparation template. Imagine how your life would change if you adopted this practice every night. Give it a try.
Tomorrow, I'm going to ____________________.
To be ready, I need to ___________________.
I will remember my ______________.
The random thoughts that just filled my head are ______________.
Also remember to _______________.
Dump the ideas out of your head so you can rest peacefully and know exactly where to pick up tomorrow. Smart. Read the rest of the article on OPEN Forum, this month's sponsor of Workbook.
DesignStudio, responsible for the recent Airbnb rebrand, believes if you really want to benefit from design thinking, it needs to be incorporated from the start of the project. Co-founders Paul Stafford and Ben Wright found that all too often large agencies were not consulting designers until the last 20% of the project.
We didn't understand why design wasn't at the forefront; why designers weren't in the initial meetings…One of our founding principles was that design and designers were always in the project from start to finish. Design thinking is a bit of a buzzword but we didn't set up on that, it just kind of made sense for us.
As their studio grows, Stafford and Wright are focused on hiring designers as oppose to account managers to avoid the disconnect additional hierarchy can cause. Designers will still have the support of client services and project managers, but they will always be directly involved in the projects. Wright explains, "I think for designers that's a huge motivation, stripping away account directors and allowing designers that ownership."
Brainstorming meetings can be disastrous, often eating up time and leading to poor decisions. Google Ventures has a way to avoid the pain of traditional meetings with a seven step method.
Over at Fast Company, Jake Knapp explains:
The next time you need to make a decision or come up with a new idea in a group, call timeout and give the note-and-vote a try.
1. Note: Distribute paper and pens to each person. Set a timer for five to 10 minutes. Everyone writes down as many ideas as they can…
2. Self-edit: Set the timer for two minutes. Each person reviews his or her own list and picks one or two favorites…
3. Share and capture: One at a time, each person shares his or her top idea(s). No sales pitch. Just say what you wrote and move on…
4. Vote: Set the timer for five minutes. Each person chooses a favorite from the ideas on the whiteboard…
5. Share and capture: One at a time, each person says their vote…
6. Decide: Who is the decider? She [or he] should make the final call—not the group…
7. Rejoice: That only took 15 minutes!
The "Note and Vote" technique works by circumventing the usual suspects that cause brainstorming meetings to go awry: personal feelings, fear of being unheard, and building ideas off one another rather than focusing on originality.
Knapp also explains that this approach forces your meetings to be run in parallel (where everyone is contributing at the same time, without shouting) whereas traditional meetings are run in a serial fashion.
We often hear the advice "just start," but it comes without a clear explanation as to how. Visualizing the gap between mediocre and great work in this way makes it evident that the only way to get on that scale is to overcome the bigger gap between nothing and something.
Over at Buffer, Kevan Lee gives us an answer by taking creative author Shirky's notes to create The Creativity Spectrum.:
What holds you back from creating something?
For many of us, it's fear. Fear that something might not be good enough, unique enough or novel enough.
Overcoming this fear is a huge and important step… Author Clay Shirky noted the importance of the simple act of creating—creating anything, even a silly thing—in his book Cognitive Surplus: "The stupidest possible creative act is still a creative act. On the spectrum of creative work, the difference between the mediocre and the good is vast. Mediocrity is, however, still on the spectrum; you can move from mediocre to good in increments. The real gap is between doing nothing and doing something."
The message is clear: to create great work requires that we create any work to begin with. Because until we have something to work with, great work isn't even on our scale of possibilities.
Lee provides plenty of other creative insights in addition to this one over on the Buffer blog.
Regardless of where you fall on the "is coffee good or bad for you" debate, there will come a workday when you can barely keep your head up at your desk, and coffee is not an option. Maybe you've already had two or three cups with no real effect, or maybe you've been trying to quit but still haven't found a good alternative yet.
As part of Fast Company's "Coffee Week" coverage, Lisa Evans offers a number (6 in all) of other options. Here's a few of our favorites:
Green Tea: This beverage has become known as the healthiest coffee alternative thanks to its high concentration of antioxidants and its link to lower risk of heart disease and type 2 diabetes. Green tea does contain caffeine, but a smaller amount than your regular cup of coffee, so you don't end up with the same jittery side effects. Not only can green tea boost mental alertness, studies show it can also make you smarter. One recent study published in the journal Psychopharmacology found green tea is effective at improving memory and cognition.
Eat Some Chocolate and Have a Laugh: That cute cat video your aunt emailed you may be just what you need when you feel a dip in energy. Researchers from the University of Warwick showed boosting employee happiness by offering chocolate and showing stand-up comedy videos improved productivity by 12%…
Raise the Heat in the Office: That chill you feel in the office may be causing your productivity to drop along with your temperature. Cornell University researchers found employees working in offices with low temperatures (of 68 degrees) committed 44% more errors and were less than half as productive than employees working in a warm office (of 77 degrees). When the body's temperature drops, it uses up energy to stay warm. This leaves the brain with less energy to concentrate or to be creative. If you can't raise the office temperature, be sure to pack a sweater or get a space heater.
And if what you're really jonesing for are the sweet, soothing sounds of a coffee shop while you work, there's always Coffitivity.
Extracurriculars, straight A's, volunteer work. . . Getting into top-flight colleges demands a ridiculous amount of free time, dedication, and energy, which are exactly the kinds of things that stifle learning. So does that mean that the Ivy Leagues are now producing students who are better at following orders than experimenting?
The New Yorker takes on the issue using William Deresiewicz's book Excellent Sheep: The Miseducation of the American Elite and the Way to a Meaningful Life as a backdrop:
They're meant to do it all, and they do. But they don't know why, or how, to find fulfillment in the absence of new hoops to jump through.
Learning is supposed to be about falling down and getting up again until you do it right. But, in an academic culture that demands constant achievement, failures seem so perilous that the best and the brightest often spend their young years in terrariums of excellence. The result is what Deresiewicz calls "a violent aversion to risk." Even after graduation, élite students show a taste for track-based, well-paid industries like finance and consulting (which in 2010 together claimed more than a third of the jobs taken by the graduating classes of Harvard, Cornell, and Princeton). And no wonder. A striver can "get into" Goldman Sachs the way that she got into Harvard. There is no résumé submission or recruiting booth if you want to make a career as a novelist.
If our brightest minds are mainly falling into fields like finance, what does that mean for the next generation of leaders?
Web developer Rachel Nabors followed her passion and was a full-time comic book artist. But an unexpected surgery and a lack of health insurance debunked her plans and gave her a new outlook on creative work. Now? She believes that "do what you love" is bad advice.
My first love, comics, gives me an edge in this industry. If I'd just gone straight into web development because it seemed like a money-maker, I wouldn't be half as excited about what I can do or as interesting to others in my field. I and my community are better for the years I spent making comics, even if it wasn't a successful career choice.
But, if I'd kept "doing what I love" in the industry that didn't love me back, I would have never realized that there are other, more profitable, things I love.
Rather than telling you to do what you love, I'd like to say this:
Don't do something you hate for a living.
There is no glory in suffering. Because you can grow to hate something you love if it puts you in a bad position, this advice gives you permission to move on to greener pastures if what you love is making you cry at night. Whatever you love should love you back. And if it's not working out, it's ok to find something else to love.
We all have more than one true passion in us — sometimes it just takes time to find it.
