So Charlie Sheen recently penned a fictitious conversation between himself and President Obama – one in which he questions our Commander-in-chief on the big 9/11 cover up. Yes, the star of Scary Movie 3 – and Scary Movie 4 – believes that the Bush/Cheney regime were behind the attack, and feels that our current President should investigate immediately, in an effort to answer a "bottomless warren of unanswered questions surrounding that day…"
Now, never mind how insulting this is to anyone personally affected by the tragedy – or who saw it firsthand. Sheen is just awesome for illustrating the three key components to being a conspiracy theorist/loser:
But look, I love Sheen simply being Sheen. He is a man unencumbered by self-awareness. Think about it: The world's most famous clueless druggie, gambling-addicted whore-banger thinks he's uncovered a conspiracy – and we should all believe him.
How cute is that?

The Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel, Dana Point, California
Jean T. Barrett
From the Print Edition:
Ron Perelman, Spring 95
The remarkable beauty of the Ritz-Carlton's Dana Point location is what sets this luxury resort apart. Situated high atop a 150-foot bluff, the four-story Mediterranean-style hotel, set on 18 acres of well-tended grounds, commands a view that is breathtaking; it literally stops you in your tracks.
The finest place to watch the sun set over the Pacific? The winning vote can't help but go to the private balcony of an ocean-view suite at this Ritz-Carlton.
Lift an iced glass brimful of a perfect Martini and gaze out over palm trees to the ocean. When the sun dips below the horizon and the cocktail has been drained, you may descend to the Ritz Dining Room, where a light dinner or a lavish multicourse feast await your pleasure. Later the wood-paneled library beckons: savor a snifter of Hine Triomphe and a fragrant Zino Mouton-Cadet No. 4 while watching the lights twinkle along the shoreline.
On clear days, Catalina Island can be easily seen from your hotel window. Beginning in January, you might spot a gray whale on its annual winter migration to Mexico. And rain or shine, you'll watch wetsuit-clad surfers knifing through the waves on Salt Creek Beach directly below the hotel's terraced gardens.
The Laguna Ritz celebrated its tenth anniversary in 1994. All 393 guest rooms have been redecorated in luxuriant fabrics and soft pastel colors. Accommodations range from fine to palatial; the hotel's three Crown Suites are located on corners and feature wood-burning fireplaces and private dining rooms. Guests on the exclusive Club Floor, accessible from the elevator with a special key, have a private salon where drinks are served and five buffet-meal presentations, ranging from breakfast to after-dinner cordials, chocolates and petits fours, are offered daily.
True to its heritage, the Ritz has a richly appointed formal dining room, but there's no haughty attitude here; instead, efforts are made to accommodate guests with a variety of tastes and cravings. Dining Room Chef de Cuisine Fabrice Canelle offers an imaginative daily food-and-wine-pairing menu of five or seven courses, along with a fixed price menu of two courses ($38), three courses ($46) and up to seven courses ($67).
The resort's Club Grill is decorated in English hunt-club style, accented with fine eighteenth- and nineteenth-century paintings of hunting and racing scenes. A trio and vocalist perform nightly. Grilled meats, including a buffalo steak with violet mustard sauce ($30), are popular entrées on the à la carte menu.
The hotel's Terrace Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, opens onto an attractive trellised patio where meals are served throughout the year, weather permitting (in Southern California, it usually does). The Terrace has a wide-ranging menu. Even at dinner, you can munch happily on a fat club sandwich with homemade potato chips ($10) or banquet more formally on fresh oysters ($11) and a miso-blackened whole Louisiana catfish ($18), complemented by a bottle of Babcock Vineyards 1991 Sauvignon Blanc, 11 Oaks Ranch ($40).
Cigars may be enjoyed on the resort's outdoor terraces and in the library, where afternoon tea, evening cocktails and after-dinner drinks are served. The library's selection of Sherries, Ports, cordials and digestifs includes Dow Vintage Port 1963 ($20 a glass), Blandy's 1954 Bual Madeira ($13) and Delamain Très Vénérable Cognac ($30). A limited array of cigars is offered in the library; the gift shop's humidor has a wider selection.
The hotel's superb 30-page wine list, developed by Master Sommelier Emmanuel Kemiji, director of Food and Beverage Julien Carralero and Beverage Supervisor Ted Chappell, is both broad and deep. (Six bottlings of Krug Champagne, including the Clos du Mesnil Brut Blanc de Blancs 1979, $350. Sixteen dessert wines, including Chateau Nairac 1981, $30. Two Pinot Gris from Oregon. A half dozen California Sangioveses.)

Bambi Shadow Box Playset
Build this shadow box playset, and set the scene for your own fun forest adventures with Bambi and his friends Flower and Thumper.
Download the playset here: Bambi Shadow Box Playset
This shadow box playset is designed to fit inside a stardard size tissue box. The box will make the playset more durable, but it is not required.Instructions:
- Print the playset on regular paper or cardstock and cut out all the pieces. Do not cut along the dashed lines – this is where you will fold the paper.
- Starting with the characters, fold the dashed lines away from you. Fold the solid lines at the bottom of the character and the character outline toward you. When all folds have been made, secure the front and back of the character together using glue or double-sided tape. You should find that you've created a stand for the character. Repeat this step with the remaining characters.
- Next, make all folds along dashed lines on the background bottom piece. Secure all A tabs to their corresponding pieces, then secure all B tabs to the bottom of the piece.
- Secure the back background piece to the bottom background piece by attaching the large bottom tab to all tabs labeled "BACK."
- Secure the background sides to the bottom background piece by attaching the corresponding tabs.
- Finally, secure the back background tabs labeled "LEFT" and "RIGHT" to their corresponding sides.

(TOKYO: 7741) reported that revenues from all operations increased 9.8 percent to 96,095 million yen for the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2013 compared with the same period last year. Profit before tax increased 69.7 percent to 29,965 million yen and profit for the term increased 102.5 percent to 23,239 million yen year on year. Hoya attributed the significant increase in profit to the recording of 14,275 million yen of insurance income in the form compensation for the fixed assets and for the lost profit suffered from the Thai flooding. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, Hoya said revenues from all operations were 372,494 million yen, down 1.2 percent year on year mainly due to business transfer of Pentax Imaging Systems in October 2011. Profit before tax was up 52.7 percent to 89,368 million yen, and profit for the term was up 66.9 percent to 71,242 million yen over the previous fiscal year. The income from Thai flooding insurance for the year amounted 32,187 million yen. "Even excluding some specific factors such as exchange gain and insurance income, we marked increases both in sales and profit this fiscal year. It is noteworthy that the sales of eyeglass lens business returned to the same level as before the Thai flooding in the fourth quarter, and the flexible endoscopes business developed sales in Middle East and Russia," said Hiroshi Suzuki, chief executive officer of Hoya. "The earnings structure of the Information Technology segment is almost completed. For the next fiscal year, my focus is to grow sales of Life Care segment and at the same time to seek the opportunity for M&As." Revenue from Hoya's Life Care segment, which consists of the Health Care related products such as eyeglass lenses and contact lenses and Medical Related products, which includes intraocular lenses, accounted for 61.2 percent of Hoya's total fourth quarter revenue. Life Care revenue climbed to 58,835 million yen in fourth quarter, a 29.7 percent increase versus year ago. Health Care related products 43,078 million yen, up 34.2 versus year-ago. Medical related products 15,757, up 18.9 from year-ago. For the fiscal year, revenue from the Life Care segment accounted for 56.1 percent of Hoya's total revenue. Life Care revenue increased 208,968 million yen for the fiscal year, up 8.3 percent from 2012. Revenue for Health Care related products rose by 150,100 million yen, up 7.0 percent from 2012; revenue for Medical related products increased 58,868 million yen, up 11.8 percent from 2012.

AT&T gets OK to install 60-foot-high cell phone tower in Pleasanton's Valley Business Park
Original post made on Jul 23, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Tuesday, July 23, 2013, 7:25 AM
on Jul 23, 2013 at 8:20 am
I live at Valley and Crestline and my husband works from home and we are both with AT&T wireless. Our cell phones do not work anywhere in this area including inside our house. We have to go outside to conduct phone calls on our cell phones. Not at the Post Office, along Black Ave., Valley Ave. or at Safeway (where we need them to work the most). So if this tower will allow me to use my phone as Verizon customers seem to be able to, then I am all for it!
on Jul 23, 2013 at 8:29 am
Hey Anon,
Instead of imposing upon your neighbors with a 60-foot tower in the neighborhood, have you thought about going with another company? It sounds like you and your husband have really thought this through.
on Jul 23, 2013 at 8:35 am
Let me understand this. It is ok to have cell phone towers everywhere else but not near you. That is silly. There is no science that says cell phones are dangerous. Put in the tower.

Preamble to the Constitution of the Female Hebrew Benevolent Society: In all communities the means of alleviating the sufferings of the poor are considered of high importance by the benevolent and the humane. The original subscribers, members of the Hebrew Congregation of Philadelphia, and citizens of the United States and of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, sensible to the calls of their small society, and desirous of rendering themselves useful to their indigent Sisters of the House of Israel, associated themselves together for the purposes of charity; and in order to make the benefit permanent, adopted this Constitution.
Founded 194-years ago by the women of Congregation Mikveh Israel and guided by Rebecca Gratz, the Female Hebrew Benevolent Society remains the oldest Jewish charity in continuous existence in the United States. It is also the first independent organization established by Jews to serve Jews in the City of Philadelphia. Philly Firsts by Janice L. Booker, credits Gratz's pivotal role in organizing FHBS as the start of Jewish charitable organizations in Philadelphia today.
The Society is overseen by a board of 13-managers who act in a volunteer capacity, assuming responsibility for administration and almost all overhead. There are no paid employees. Future board members serve as observers at semiannual meetings and gradually take on tasks as their knowledge of and commitment to our mission increases.
FHBS concentrates on three specific areas of assistance: emergency aid, including a small number of monthly stipends, personal emergency response systems for frail, elderly women and camp scholarships. All cases are considered individually, taking into account any extenuating circumstances. Requests are filled as the treasury permits, often within a 24-hour period. Referrals come from communal professionals at Jewish agencies who must screen the client to verify and prioritize her needs before making a recommendation to FHBS.
During the fiscal year 2012-2013, over $118,700 was distributed to 199 women. Overhead not covered by directed donations was less than 1% of total expenditures.
With the cold comes some good news: The Legacy Fund of the SJCC Bnai Aaron has generously agreed to support our Pharmacy Pharmacy Stipend Program for another six-months. Beginning March 1, twenty-seven women will receive a $50 gift card to the pharmacy of her choice. Eleven will be continued for a second round; sixteen are new.
The requests for emergency aid continue to pour in from social workers throughout the Jewish community, illuminating the economic crunch that puts hard working neighbors in economic jeopardy.
Esther is a married 27-year-old woman with a 3 -year-old and a 10-year-old. Both she and her husband are teachers with a combined yearly income of $58,000. Credit card debt of $20,000 and student loans totaling $150,000 add to the stress of providing for their young family. They live frugally in a home they own while driving a 1999 Mercury. Esther recently returned to work after being on maternity leave, and her husband stays at a job he doesn't enjoy to provide for his family. Having taken steps to refinance their mortgage and to consolidate their credit card debt, Esther and her husband are still in a financial bind. FHBS paid a $120 PECO bill and $288 for car repairs.
Betty, a recent widow with serious health issues, moved into Federation housing after losing her apartment in a fire. While adjusting to widowhood, she has had to deal with a financial crisis and deteriorating health. Her osteoporosis has led to three severe falls in the last year, requiring surgery and hospitalization and creating medical debt of $8,000. This, coupled with severe allergies effecting her breathing, necessitates a health aide coming to her home four-hours per week. Though she will get more Social Security as a widow, she still has $40,000 in debt and has filed for personal bankruptcy. To help Betty immediately and directly, FHBS is providing her with an Emergency Response System so she can access assistance should she fall or experience a breathing complication. With frail health and a precarious financial situation, Betty will need even more.
Again, there is a dramatic call for help from those in our community who have led productive, hard-working lives but are caught in an unfathomable situation beyond their capabilities. Let's all pitch in to help ease their lives and give them some peace of mind.

Here's a look at course descriptions, textbooks and assignments from some of those schools.

What a difference a year makes. Honda's biggest news in 2009 was the Fury chopper—a stretched-and slammed symbol of aughts-era conspicuous consumption, the two-wheeled equivalent of a Hummer on 28s. This year, the world's largest motorcycle manufacturer did an about face. The era of blinged-out butt jewelry is over, so American Honda representatives tell us. Our nation is hungry for economical, practical motorcycles. Enter the NT700V—just the bike for our post-recession age.
After nearly two decades of being a sleek thoroughbred
with racing bloodlines, for 2002 uninspired styling and
unnecessary gadgetry (VTEC) transformed the Honda VFR800
Interceptor into Rocinante, Don Quixote's ungainly steed.
Sport-touring enthusiasts have been salivating ever since news was first leaked that Honda was revamping its famed VFR platform. While the V-4 engine has its roots in Honda's lengthy racing history, for years the VFR has been considered by many to be the ultimate sport-touring package. So, the 2010 VFR1200F is, for better or worse, weighed down with some pretty high expectations.
Man! Talk about slammin' the competition! I just rode the 2010 Honda VFR1200F with dual-clutch transmission (DCT). Honda has grabbed the competition by the throat, smacked it around, given it a black eye, and made it cry. In short, Honda has, with this bike, made the other manufacturers its bitches.
Since the inception of factory contracts, there has been a formula for building a racer...

It was big. Very big. Too big.Too busy. Like an amusement park that floats.
It is easier to say what we didn't like rather than the other way round.
First, being charged for every thing that on other lines are normally included. A $5.00 fresh OJ. Only did that once. Some coffees and water. Nickle and dime to the Nth degree.
Second, smoking in some of the lounges. Dazzles comes first to mind. As an ex-smoker, the idea of smoking/non-smoking sections in an area with no specific ventilation is ridiculous. Same as having a peeing corner in a public pool. It goes everywhere eventually. Also smoking areas next to the pools. Stupid comes to mind there
Third. RCCL says safety is a major concern. I say a ship crew member on the after crane mount there with no harness,no railings around the crane and no sentry. Remember, the employer should practice due diligence regarding workplace safety for passengers and crew.
Will we return to the OofS and RCCL ? Most likely not. Am I being picky, possibly. Other than some WOW factors, I'll spend my money elsewhere.
We liked the MDR. Food was not as good as our last cruise lines, but the hardworking staff made up for it and so did our tablemates. The Windjammer was good too though at times very crowded.
The cabin was fine, nothing special. The attendant,Freddy from Columbia was excellent.
Central Park is truly a sight to see.
The specialty restaurants, 150 Central, Giovannie's, Zumi's and Chops are all worth a visit.
The shows are OK. Just OK. However, the aqua theater is something that is a must to see.
These are jut mu opinions. I suggest anyone thinking of going on the OofS, read about the ship and talk to people who have been on it first. Not all is as in the brochures.
I must mention that for such a large ship in fairly calm seas, it moves. Not a lot, but as much as ships much smaller than it. I could feel it. Maybe just me.

Framing a Wireless Solution
This month's column is about accepting that not all things run smoothly, and that you must step up and accept responsibility when they don't. Even the best-laid design/build plans sometimes go awry. Because human beings are imperfect and unpredictable, because sometimes what we think we've agreed upon is not in fact what we've agreed upon, and because what works on paper may not work in the field, it's important to have a plan for the unpleasant and unexpected.
Your business is insured as are you and your workers. It makes sense that we create an internal "insurance policy" for the jobsite. That policy has to be flexible enough to handle new and different situations but concrete enough to give workers the power to handle problems that arise on the jobsite. For example, you could establish a framework for work orders that arise out of mistakes made by your company's personnel or subcontractors. What is the standard operational procedure? Who is authorized to make decisions in the field? Who bears financial responsibility for any additional costs?
Recently my design firm received a 911 call from the project manager of a design/build company with whom we had been working. The job which we had designed was under construction. The PM had five framers standing around looking at a framing issue with which they didn't know what to do.
The new roof on the project was designed to match the existing roof pitch. When the job was measured, the builder and designer documented an existing roof pitch of 10. In fact, it was 9. Therefore the new roof pitch did not allow for the new structural members. The bottom line was that the designer and builder who measured the building were off by 1 degree. That may not seem like a lot, but that 1 degree was creating all sorts of headaches.
We quickly regrouped. The project manager had a laptop computer with wireless Internet connection, and we were able to have a live web conference with the builder, designer and framers in order to examine the problem, design a solution and keep the project on schedule.
As we all were huddled around the computer, the homeowner walked by. She was updated on the situation and joined the meeting. We ended up altering the structural material from wood to steel to accommodate the structural loads within the original design. The client was pleased with the results and able to approve the alteration in real time with all of the appropriate parties. The job did not grind to a halt.
In this case, the homeowner, builder and designer approved the changes. Through the use of technology there was a forum in which those changes could occur in a timely and informed manner. And the design/build company owner and my company split the cost for the change in structural material.
This could have turned into a nightmare that would sour the client relationship. Instead we were able to turn it into an opportunity to demonstrate to the client our expertise and flexibility, to confirm our high ethical business standards and to maintain the production schedule. In fact, this particular client ended up becoming a bountiful source of future business. No fewer than eight referrals came from this client and we have three of those referrals in our pipeline right now.
The reality of design/build is that problems arise regardless of the best-laid plans. It is in everyone's best interest to have a plan for those eventualities.

I just spent the weekend in the Fires Creek area thanks to this article. It is gorgeous and very difficult hiking. My 17 year old son, one of his friends and this 50 year old dad hiked the Far Bald Springs Trail to the Rim Trail and then the 0.1 leg of Chunky Gal to the summit of Tusquitee Bald. We spend the night there at 20 degrees with a 40 mph wind. the view to the east was awe inspring. We spend the next day going clockwise on the rim trail to Potrock Bald and then counterclockwise to a rocky outcrop on the West side of Signal Bald. The view was spectacular including Clingman's Dome on the horizon to the NW. We hiked back to Tusquitee Bald for another night but not before our search for water resulted in an unsuccessful difficult wandering off trail and a mile back tracking of Far Bald Springs Trail. The trails are very steep. You need excellent ankle support and conditioning for these trails, but the experience is worth all the pain. Buy the trail guide.
I've been visiting the Nantahala National Forest for about ten years now and i much prefer it over the crowded GSMNP. You can go for miles without running into anyone and the views of Fontana Lake are some of the best. If you like GSMNP, but not the crowds and loud tourists that come along with it, you should definitely check Nantahala NF out. It's a little ways away, (about 10 mi.), but for rafting, kayaking and hiking gear, go to Nantahala Outdoor Center in Wesser. From Bryson City, take US 19 South towards Robbinsville. The road will narrow and begin to twist more. NOC will be on your right. NOC has a few restaurants there too. the one that overlooks the water is the best.

WR Jacoby Jones' skill set fits the Ravens in multiple ways. Given his good speed, he could be an asset to a passing game that likes to stretch the field. Jones is unlikely to be one of the two primary wideouts in Baltimore, but he's the most proven of the options behind Torrey Smith and Anquan Boldin. With Jones in the mix, Boldin, who has lost a step, could see more time in the slot, one rival evaluator suggested to PFW.
Jones is also a capable returner who has shown game-breaking ability. Jones has averaged 10.2 yards on punt returns and has brought back three punts for scores in his five-year career. He also can return kickoffs (23.3 avg.), with one return TD in his career, but punts are regarded as his strength.
Inconsistency doomed Jones in Houston, and he had a costly punt-return fumble in the divisional-round loss to the Ravens, but given the reported cost (two years, $7 million), this is a fairly low-risk move for Baltimore, which adds an experienced No. 3 wide receiver and a fine option in the return game.

Alex Stewart named as assistant women's basketball coach
The JU women's basketball team will have a new face on the bench this year as head coach Jill Dunn announced the hiring of Alex Stewart to her coaching staff for the 2011-12 season.
Stewart joins the JU staff after spending the last three years at her alma mater, Georgia Tech, as an academic coach and assistant director of basketball operations. She replaces DeUnna Hendrix, who accepted a similar position at High Point University on June 15.
"Alex brings us a lot of knowledge in many different areas," said Dunn. "She was a fantastic ACC point guard and she has experience as a coach at several coaches. Her energy and enthusiasm is contagious and I can't wait for her to start working with our players."
With the Yellow Jackets, she assisted student-athletes with their academic progress in 2010-11, while also helping with initial eligibility certification of prospective student-athletes.
Stewart returned to the Atlanta campus on the basketball operations staff in May 2008 and coordinated practice times, assisted with scouting and oversaw film exchange. She also served as the summer camp director of MaChelle Joseph's Basketball Camps.
"I'm extremely excited to join the JU family," said Stewart. "I can't wait to start working on bringing a championship to Jacksonville."
Prior to Georgia Tech, she was the head basketball coach at Anges Scott College during the 2007-08 season after serving as an assistant coach for the two previous years. She led the squad to a 17-9 record, the best mark in school history, for a second place finish in the regular season.
The Scotties posted a 33-22 record during Stewart's tenure as an assistant, including the program's first appearance in the Great South Athletic Conference Championship Game in 2006.
As a student-athlete, Stewart played on the Georgia Tech women's basketball team from 1999-04, earning Atlantic Coast all-conference honors as a junior and senior. In the career book, she ranks third all-time in assists (505) and fourth in free throw percentage (.777, 269-346).
Stewart became just the second tech player in school history to earn a triple double (11 pts., 10 rbs. & 11 asts.) on Jan. 30, 2001 against Charleston Southern. She was also the first player in ACC history to accomplish the feat coming off of the bench.

4/5 rDev +6.1%
This brew is actually a Flanders Oud Bruin, as the back label explains. Bottle poured into an oversized wine glass. Pours a chestnut brown with a half finger of light tan head that becomes a soapy rim soon after pouring.
Aroma is lightly sweet with light notes of acidity and some red fruit, mainly cherry and a touch of berry. Some distant funk mixed in as well.
Taste follows the nose with a smooth and complete profile that finishes mellow and very smooth. Overall this is a solid Oud Bruin with a distinct oak-aged character.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied, lightly acidic and smooth from the barrel aging.
Drinkability is good. Easy-going and mellow with a solid fruit and barrel aged quality along with a solid profile. An all around good brew. Cheers!

Pours a bubbly 2 finger head of tan/reddish head. Body is a murky dark red. Smells of balsamic vinegar, pickles, white vinegar, touch of alcohol. Tastes sweet and malty, pickle vinegar, tart fruit(cherries, raspberries). Medium dry finish, medium/full bodied, medium/high carbonation. Quite nice overall. I'd like to have a bit more complexities in the taste and maybe a bit more in the smell too. Well balanced and I think I'd easily pick this up again at $3.50 a 11.2oz bottle

Ruddy brown and red colors comingling in a tulip glass, almost no head. Mild tartness in the aroma, toffee.
Good sour taste, impressed, sometimes flanders come off a little weak in that department, especially when they're relatively cheap and available like this one. Really a good introduction that isn't watered down or so pase its lame. Cherry is the most fruit specific flavor that exists in it. Gritty acidic tannin like qualities to it. Mild woody flavor. Enough sweetness to it to approach balance. Ultimately finishes dry.

Got this on-tap from BSP in Atlanta.
Pours a clear dark ruby color with a one-finger white head that seems to have an orange tint. The head recedes into a thin layer of bubbles on top and a medium-sized ring around the glass. There's not much lacing.
Smells good. There's a good fruity aroma, lots of berries. There are also slight tart and earthy smells.
Tastes good as well. Lots of sweet fruit flavors up front that are followed by a good amount of sourness and a dry finish. There's a mild oak flavor that pokes through every now and then as well.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a good thickness to go with lively carbonation.
Drinkability is very good. I had no problem finishing this glass and would've gladly had another.
Overall I was impressed. I'm just now getting into sours, but I was a fan of the way none of the flavors were too overpowering in this beer. Certainly worth a shot.

It's true that I need more experience with the style, but I think I know the guidelines, at least.
It's sort of a thick and hazy beer, and the color isn't so much a red-brown as brown-red. A big, fluffy off-qhite head stands for a good, long time, barely diminishing below two fingers for quite a while and remaining even as the beer is being drunk. It sticks around like a creamy pillow before eventually settling to a layer that deposits patchy lacing that continues to spread out in legging as it goes.
Tart and sour on the nose, this is a solid standard-setter as I understand it. Just a touch of vinegar-like funk is unoffensive and deep. Light alcohol notes just sneak out.
Plenty tart and sour, it's short of puckering but plenty flavorful. It's got lots of it, giving the impression of underripe fruits that have somehow full developed their flavor. A creamy sort of vanilla sweetness underlies it and balances very nicely. An easy sipper that's not too sour but doesn't stray, I could have several of these easily.
The body is light a fairly robust red wine with a light fizz to it. It's got a solid depth to it and flows very nicely. It has a pretty easy finish.

11.2 oz bottle poured into a snifter. 15 April 17 on the bottle cap.
A: Pours a cloudy/hazy brownish ruby with a 1.5 finger off white head. Too hazy to see any carbonation. Leaves just a little lace.
S: Very funky and tart aroma. Vinegar in there as well. Can tell this one is gonna have a sour taste. Sweet malty aroma as well as oak.
T: Hits you at first with a funky tart taste that transforms into a sweet malty beer with an oak backing. There is plenty of a candied sugar. Ends with almost a wheat malt taste.
M: Fairly light body that feels heavier than it is. A good amount of carbonation. The sour aspect makes it fairly crisp.
Overall a beer I could really get into. Has the full fledge wild fermentation aspect along with a very realistic beer body. Perhaps a little sweet but that compliments the tartness.

a: dark cola reddish brown with a small head as expected its oak aged.
s: red wine, malty, no hops, some sugar sweetness comes out as black cheery like vapors hit he nose. having a bad sinus day, I can taste it fine just not much hitting me nose, but then again nothing new there.
T: ah very nice and complex beer here, sweet malt and back cheery fruit with some red wine tannins like, some vinegar like sharpness, AKA that sour bite. I do not get any lactic favors myself. Very balanced sweet to sour, Its grand cru indeed. Since its oak aged there are no hops I can detect.
M: smooth, low carbonation, semi thick on the back of the mouth.
D: easy as hell to drink this one, its basically a duchesse de bourgogne, with more sweetness, hence the higher ABV.
recommended if you love sours, its really a OLD bruin not sure why they keep added them to the red category, sure it s that on the bottle, but then contradicts itself in the native dutch go figure, who cares right? we drink more its good.

A--Dark, opaque brown with magenta hues. Minimal head. No lacing.
S--Dark overripe cherries, with an odd hint of grapes. Like Bubble Yum grape, not Bordeaux grape. Odd.
T--Like it smells, sadly, with a funky back end. There's a musty, attic-like quality on the finish. Not bad, really, but not great.
M--Merely average.
D--Okay. I mean, I wouldn't turn it down at a party, but this is far from the best I've had in this style. A bit of a disappointment.

Reddish with a little white head. Medium plus mouthfeel. Pleasant flemish red aroma. Easy drinking, to the last drop. Nice balance with a little vinegar and well done sweet offset.A moderate cherry. The mildest of oak. Tasty one.Understated carbonation.

6.5%ABV from a bottle.
A- Bright red body and white head... thick and fluffy to a thin layer. Leaves adequate lacing. When opening the bottle, a nice "pffft" sound.
S- Sour, funky melange of fruit.
T- Nice and sour... clear Brett and Lactose usage, mild caramel backbone to remind me that this is beer and not fruit cider. My wife enjoyed this beer and asked me if it was lambic (and she is usually a Lindeman's Framboise drinker.)
M- Strong carbonation, nice sourness, it could however use a tad bit more body and flavor aside from the Brett and Lactose notes.
O- Very good and reasonably priced all considering... 4.50 for the ~12? oz bottle.

Ichtegem's Grand Cru
11.2 fl.oz. bottle; cap dated 18 JAN 2016
The label reads "ingr: water, malt, caramalt, rice, hops, yeast"
Carefully poured to leave the lees behind it's a clear, ruby accented brown color beneath a pillowy head of tan. The head retention is good. It eventually falls to a wide collar that leaves short walls of lace with each sip.
The aroma suggests tart, dark, sugary fruit: cherries, raisins, figs. There's a bit of yeast to it, some malt, and a touch of mineral character as well.
The flavor follows the aroma, and it delivers a pleasant balance between gentle sweetness and light tartness. Along with the tartness and fruit there's some caramel maltiness, but it's not overly done, and it doesn't stick in the mouth. It's actually quite refreshing with the mild sharpness upfront, the light sweetness across the middle, and a bit of grassiness and mineral character in the oaky-dry finish.
In the mouth it's light bodied but with a dextinous edge; and a creamy-smooth fine-bubbled median carbonation - not much is needed as the tartness gives it character.
Overall it's basically flawless, and a pretty good example of the style.

Cloudy ruddy amber body, small, but fluffy off-white head. Laces quite well.
Vinous nose, with (mysteriously) seafood.
Taste is tart and magnificently balanced, sweetness to balance it out but not enough to cloy. Very faintly vegetal, possible beet.
Mouthfeel is nice, but not outstanding or unique in any way.
Quite a nice example of a Flemish sour... didn't know that aged sours existed, but this one is quite worthwhile, though there's no oak in the taste.

To the uninitiated, this can be a pretty funky beer. Having tried many Flanders Reds, however, I can say this is a nice, mellower than usual version of the style. In that sense it allows you to enjoy the flavors of crisp tang, mild oak, and light caramel barley instead of being overwhelmed by the sour funk.
Maybe it's just a sour ale for beginners, but I liked it.

3.4/5 rDev -9.8%
A: Mahogoney with a thin but steady head; lacing is full and steady
S: Sour; woody with a touch of vinegar; subtle tart cherries
T: Sourness falls flat--a bit of tart apple and woodiness but most is lost in watery finish
F: A bit thin
D: While this is drinkable, this is not what I was expecting--thin and not nearly sour enough

330 mL bottle poured into an RR -tion glass. Best by 2015, I think, but it's smudged.
Appearance - Dark ruby brown body with an ample two-finger head of off-white foam. Excellent lacing. Really nice lacing.
Smell - Sweet malts and oak are most predominant. Hardly any tart aromas. Cherry, I suppose, but it's not a sour cherry.
Taste - Much more acidic than the aroma implies. Harsh acidic red wine vinegar. Oak all over, too. Finishes just a touch sweet.
Mouthfeel - Harsh on the palate. The flavors aren't bad, but the mouthfeel is unpleasant. Very acidic and vinegary. Highly carbonated.
Overall - It's harsh and too oaky. The flavors aren't inherently bad, but the feel just cancels out all benefits.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
This route is located on the east face of Easter Rock just left of Knappweed Herbacide. Surrounded By Reality is the first route to pierce the big roof midway up the east face. Surprisingly, the big roof is not the crux, rather the A-frame below. The first part of the route is easy and still a bit dirty, but quickly improves as the rock gets steeper. Lurch up the sloper through the A-frame and get a good rest before the final big roof. The upper roof is not that bad, maybe 12a, but a bit awkward. I'm still not sure about the rating on the lower crux, maybe I missed a trick that would make it go easier. A 60m rope is definitely recommended for this route. A variation is in the works that will avoid the lower crux, but as of 8/5/02 it is not complete so avoid any tempting looking bolts to the left.
12 bolts.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: February 12, 2009
For First Time In a Long Time On A Major Bill, New York Gets Back More Than They Put In
Schumer Fought to Secure Direct Budget Aid for NYS and Localities; Education Funding; Infrastructure Dollars; College Tuition Tax Credit; and More in Senate Bill
Senator Outlines Details of Bill and Its Impact on New York State and Localities
U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today announced the detailed impact of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on
Over the past several months, as Upstate New York counties face an historic budget deficit and the national economy continues to decline, Schumer has fought to secure the much-needed funding for the state in the Senate bill to help close budget gaps, create and save jobs, and stave off property tax hikes. Schumer vowed to continue to fight for the funding as the bill goes into a House-Senate conference, and said he would fight to restore the education cuts in the bill.
"This Economic Recovery package will be very good for
Schumer today detailed the many ways the economic stimulus package will help Upstate New York families and get the economy moving again.
Schumer today announced that the economic stimulus package includes a $12.6 billion boost in Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) for
· Counties in the Capital Region will receive approximately $1
· Counties in
· Counties in the Hudson Valley will receive approximately $263 million in budget relief over the next nine quarters.
· Counties in the
· Counties in the Rochester-Finger Lakes will receive approximately $133 million in budget relief over the next nine quarters.
· Counties in the Southern Tier will receive approximately $68 million in budget relief over the next nine quarters.
· Counties in
With all states facing massive budget deficits due to declining tax revenues, many are considering enormous cuts to education, including teacher lay-offs and cuts to important programs. Other states are considering raising property taxes to make up the shortfalls. The agreement reached today will send
· $2.72 billion for the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund to prevent massive cuts to education.
· Approximately $8
· Approximately $1 billion for Title I of No Child Left Behind. No Child Left Behind has been chronically underfunded, which means schools have had to live up to the demands of NCLB without the resources to do so. This funding is a much needed injection of funds to help schools meet the requirements of NCLB.
Schumer has pushed for investments in infrastructure to help rebuild
· $87.5 million through the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund to address the backlog of drinking water infrastructure needs
· $439.2 million through the Clean Water State Revolving Fund to address the backlog of clean water infrastructure needs
· Approximately $1 billion in Highway Funding to be used on activities eligible under the Federal-aid Highway Program's Surface Transportation Program and could also include rail and port infrastructure activities at the discretion of the states.
· Approximately $1.3 billion in Mass Transit Funding for investments in mass transit
The stimulus agreement includes included Senator Schumer's new tax credit for families paying college tuition. Senator Schumer was the leading advocate for adding this provision to the package. The new credit of $2,5
The new tax credit should benefit hundreds of thousands of additional families due to three factors: (1) the benefit can be used for more than one student in the household; (2) the new credit is partially refundable, meaning that the millions of New York families with incomes too low to owe federal income taxes can still claim a partial benefit; and (3) the income limits are slightly higher than in current law, reaching zero at $9
In order to be eligible for the new credit, students must be enrolled at least half-time. In the 2
With Upstate New York seniors and families expected to pay a total of $8.4 billion on utility bills this year, Schumer today said that the federal economic stimulus bill will include over $4
The stimulus package agreement reached today includes millions of dollars for
The stimulus package agreement reached today includes tax breaks for struggling middle class families across
The agreement reached today begins the long-term effort to repair the damage in our housing market. The agreement includes vital funding for grant programs that will also states and localities to address their specific and varying needs. For Upstate New York, this means more funding for programs to clean up vacant homes, expand affordable housing programs, and provide assistance to families who have found themselves without shelter during this economic downturn.
· $4 billion nationally through the Public Housing Capital Fund to enable local public housing agencies to address a national $32 billion backlog in capital needs – especially those improving energy efficiency in aging developments – in this critical element of the nation's affordable housing infrastructure. Of this amount,
· $251 million in HOME Funding to enable state and local government, in partnership with community-based organizations, to acquire, construct, and rehabilitate affordable housing and provide rental assistance to low-income families
· $142.1 million through the Homelessness Prevention Fund to be used for prevention activities, which include: short or medium-term rental assistance, first and last month's rental payment, or utility payments. As such, most of this funding will go directly into the economy of local communities, as the funds will be used to pay housing and other associated costs in the private market
· $98 million for Community Development Block Grants, flexible grants that provide communities with resources to address a wide range of unique community development needs.
· $51 million for the Neighborhood Stabilization Program, a program that provides funding for communities to redevelop demolished or vacant properties and purchase and rehabilitee foreclosed homes for resale. This grant program will endow Upstate New York communities with the funds needed to finally tackle the growing vacant housing problem that drives down property values and contributes to neighborhood blight.

Three key Steelers will be missing when the team kicks off its offseason team activities on Tuesday, according to a report in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette Sunday.
Two of the players are no surprise. Rookies David DeCastro (Stanford) and Mike Adams (Ohio State) are not allowed to report to the team until their respective schools' semester ends. DeCastro will miss all of the OTAs and the team's minicamp June 12-14 because Stanford's spring quarter doesn't end until mid-June. Adams will be absent until the first week of June when Ohio State's semester ends.
The biggest absence reportedly will be disgruntled WR Mike Wallace, who is unhappy about the lack of a contract extension and still has not signed the one-year, $2.742 million restricted free-agent tender the team gave him prior to the start of free agency.
He is not required to sign his tender or attend OTAs but is required to attend minicamp. With negotiations between the sides at a standstill, it remains to be seen if Wallace holds out from minicamp as well.

CATEGORIES Video, CinematicalIf someone told you about the existence of a British musical shot in 3D starring Michael Madsen, Steve Guttenberg, Daryl Hannah, Jeff Fahey, Brigitte Nielsen and the late, great David Carradine, you would have every right in the world to call them a liar. Surely no such thing exists -- if there is a God, he wouldn't allow such things to happen.
Well, seeing truly is believing: After the jump we've provided a trailer for your viewing, er, pleasure, proving that 'Eldorado' is a real movie and not a fever-induced nightmare that was born in the midst of a painful, troubled sleep.
Strippers. Neo-Nazis wrestling. Bloody deaths by chainsaw. Car chases. Kung-fu battles in caves. Two lead characters called "The Jews brothers." Wild West hillbillies. Crooked cops. Jeff Fahey prancing about while singing in an accent that sounds vaguely Italian. Menacing bikers. An evil clown puppet. Incomprehensible cowboy singing. The mere presence of Steve Guttenberg.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg. Check out the trailer for what looks ripe and ready to be the best worst movie of 2011 after the jump!
|218 (8.3%)
|1115 (42.3%)
|I don't even know what that is
|1305 (49.5%)
Is that Jeff Fahey in the midst of a living room machete battle? Oh my, I hope that's a musical number. If you want to know more -- you sick masochist you -- here's the complete press release:
This is a live action 3D comedy/horror/musical/road movie and is the first ever British movie to be shot in 3D.
After wrongly being sent to a Neo Nazi fund raiser instead of the stripper, Blues Brothers tribute band 'The Jews Brothers', Stan and Ollie get offered a gig in El Dorado to make amends for a gig gone sour.
At the very same time Jessica a beautiful but despondent wife is on the run with a million dollars from her cheating husband's night club.
All roads lead to Eldorado, these lives intersect and at this point it means trouble. While these small lives revolve around each other a bigger power is controlling the action to make their visit to this town one they will never forget.
It's Eldorado's 200th anniversary, the townsfolk are hungry to celebrate, which does prove unfortunate to the tourists who come to visit and find that they are the dish of the day.
A parody of films including THE BLUES BROTHERS, SWEENEY TODD and LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS, ELDORADO is more than just bad table manners and a little light music, it becomes a way of life.

It was once the drink of Vikings. Centuries later, Ricky and Kelly Klein are bringing the beverage back.Welcome to Groennfell Meadery in Colchester. "Where as Vermont is old French for the Green Mountains, Groennfell is old Norse for the same thing," Rick Klein said.The husband and wife duo started brewing the gluten-free mead in April.Reporter Gina Bullard: What is mead? Rick Klein: Mead is honey, water, yeast and a little bit of magic... Our two products are 5-percent alcohol -- very refreshing and easy to drink. Reporter Gina Bullard: So is it more like wine or beer? Rick Klein: Closest thing is a cider for what we make."I remember the first glass I pulled off the tap and I was like this, this is what mead is supposed to be. This what Vikings would have wanted. It was everything that was mead -- all in one glass," said Kelly Klein.The Delaware couple met at Middlebury College and say they knew they wanted to start a business and raise children in Vermont. A home brewing hobby turned into a business.One batch of mead is made with 930-pounds of honey -- which makes about 10-thousand bottles. Reporter Gina Bullard: Where's your honey from? Rick Klein: Up the road in Ontario. Reporter Gina Bullard: Why not Vermont?
Rick Klein: Vermont doesn't make another honey for us.The Klein's say there are 150 meaderies around the U.S. producing mead in wine size bottles -- which can get expensive. They hope Groennfell can quench more casual drinkers thirsts. "We saw the opportunity to be the first everyday mead," Ricky said.By producing in larger quantities, they hope to be able to sell four packs for $10. "Selling our product isn't hard work because we love it and that's not selling, it's sharing," Kelly said.Bringing back an old beverage from the Vikings, now Vermonters are toasting this Made in Vermont drink.You can purchase Groennfell Mead at its Colchester meadery -- and in a few weeks you will be seeing it on store shelves around the state.

The sys admin's daily grind: Whowatch et al.
On Patrol
For no particular reason, Charly occasionally patrols his server farm and hunts down attackers. He has put together a neat toolbox for this job.
Every server with an IP address on the Internet will receive uninvited visits at some point. The usual scans and scripted carpet bombing simply bounce off my machines thanks to clever firewalling, port knocking [1], and additional tools like Fail2ban [2]. To keep attackers from working around my defenses, I use two rootkit hunters: Rootkit Hunter [3] and Chkrootkit [4]. The latter, unfortunately, accuses my DHCP server of packet sniffing:
eth0: PACKET SNIFFER(/usr/sbin/dhcpd[28382])
This result is a known false positive, which I ignore. As an interim report, I can say that my varmint hunters have not seen any prey thus far.
Nevertheless, I occasionally go on patrol to see whether a server is behaving strangely. I like to use
whowatch [5] for this purpose. This tool launches in the terminal with a process list; the second column shows me the owner. In the third column, Whowatch tells me whether the user is local or logged on via SSH, Telnet, or in some other way. For remote users, this information is followed by the IP address, and for local users, just
Hotkey Control
I have two ways of navigating this information: I can use the arrow keys to select a line, press Enter, and see a tree view of the associated processes, as shown in Figure 1. Pressing O (owner) hides or displays the process owner; pressing D (details) creates a window with detailed information for the process.
My second option is to type T (tree view) to show all running processes. In this tree view, too, pressing D will display more information. Pressing L (list of signals) shows me the control signals that I can send to the process, such as
TERM, and in an emergency
KILL. I can display the overall system status, particularly in terms of memory management, by pressing S (sysinfo), which tells Whowatch to display the total load on the screen, in a style very much reminiscent of
top (Figure 2).
I have never found anything dangerous on my server patrols to date, but I do like that warm, safe, and cozy feeling.
