Romanian Schwarzbier? Interesting. Of the 3 Romanian beers I got from my sister, this is the only one on BA with a somewhat respectable score so I'm looking forward to checking this out.
My first impression is that this is not in fact a Schwarzbier, but just a Euro dark strong lager since the color is a dark brown with orange tints. Very light brown creamy frothy head with little visible carbonation in the beer itself.
Aroma is dominated by caramel and very soft water. Much like a Scotch Ale, but a little lighter.
Taste is really like a lightly carbonated English Mild... well an imperial English mild at 7% alcohol. Somewhat floral from the fermentation, with most of the flavor coming from a strong dose of crystal malts.
Mouthfeel is way undercarbonated. That combined with a strange thickness or alcohol-ness to it makes it quite hard to drink.

500 ml bottle, poured into a lager glass.
Color is clear amber-brown. Head is big and foamy and has a beige color. Forms some decent lacing.
Smell is dominated by roasted malt.
Taste is sweet, malty with a slightly bitter aftertaste.
Body feels light and is well carbonated.
Overall this is a decent romanian beer. Definitely the best dark one. Well balanced and drinkable.

Served in Brasov poured from a bottle.
This beer is almost virtualy identical to another Romanian beer Ursus in my opinion.
Chestnut to Walnut brown clear color with a cream colored somewhat solid head lighter that the Ursus. Head manages to stay.
Smell of nut possibly chestnut but not much else, faint nose a bit weak.
Tastes like an average typical brown ale of sorts, not hoppy some malt perhaps on the palate, a bit too wet for my tastes in mouthfeel though. It is a pleasant taste, there is no excessive alcohol to pick up. It is very macro like tasting. It tastes literally identical to Ursus but not as alcohol "like" taste on the finish.
Easy drinking if that is your thing.

Silva Black was my beer of choice in Romania. Dirt cheap, generally pretty fresh from the can and quite flavorful. I wouldn't call this a traditional schwarzbier, perhaps dark lager would be more appropriate. It's on the malty side, semi-sweet but only faintly roasty, with a flavor profile that reminds me of an English brown ale, minus the complexity you'd get from ale yeast. The 7% alcohol is somewhat noticeable, though not in a harsh way. Pretty reasonable stuff on the whole, not something I'd go out of my way to get in the US, but definitely worth trying if you find yourself in Romania.

0.5 liter can
Deep red, tan head.
Some dark fruit in the nose, with a little chocolate. Also an off-putting harshness most likely from the alcohol.
The same harshness on the palate, with some nice dark fruits behind it and a pleasant dry, bitter chocolate taste on the finish.
Not too heavy, not too carbonated.
Overall, kinda harsh but the underlying flavors aren't so bad. Quite unremarkable though.

Only so slightly caramelized taste, reminding of some more famous belgian varieties.
A bit strong to have it as a refresher on a hot summer day, as it only comes in 0.5L bottles.
Works great with most snack/tapas, like hams, most cheeses and basically anything salty. Not the best match for richer food like curries or sauces.

Creamy beige can head that trails over cherry brown body.
Toasty nose with some cherry stone.
Snap wheat crackers, some tin, light blonde toffee, brown pear, and mild spice to end.
Almond skin finish and yeasty linger.
Lt-med, creamy, slight cling.
Not as cloying at Timi Bruna. Nice silky body, too. This would be easy to session if the strength were a bit lower.
Most like a proper dunkelweiss.

From a bottle brought back from Romania a couple of months ago and kept chilled. One of the best beers from the region! Poured with a nice head and some lace. Color is like aged cherry wood. Roasty, malty, a bit of anise. full body. intriguing. a nice hint of alcohol. Great finish. no off flavors. Better than than their other beers.

I've got to agree with the first line of largadeer's review below. That's all I read of his review, too, by the way. This was my go-to beer in Romania. First tried it at Agape Restaurant in Cluj-Napoca, and tried it many more times after that. The review below is written using notes from that first experience in Cluj.
Poured into a small goblet.
Appearance: Muddy brown body with orange highlights. Looks like maple syrup when held to light. Should be a little more opaque if it's a schwarzbier, but is it really a schwarzbier? Head is foamy, khaki-colored, and two fingers in height initially, though it decays to a small crown after a few minutes.
Smell: Caramel, prunes, and lots of rich woody scents. Alcohol is quite apparent. Smells thin in body, but rich in flavor.
Taste: Dark cherries, molasses, come sort of wood - not oak or pine, leafy hops, and alcohol. Got some chocolate in later tastings. Some of the sweet caramel and dark fruit flavors hang around in the aftertaste, making the alcoholic dryness much more bareable. Overall, pretty tasty. Much more flavorful than most schwarzbiers.
Mouthfeel: Pretty thin, warm, dry, and mildly carbonated. Wish the alcohol didn't play such a large role.
Drinkability: Other than the thin, dry feel, this one was very pleasant. I definitely recommend it to anyone traveling through Romania.

Beautiful brown color, with a compact beige head.
Malty and caramel smell, on the sweet side, but acceptable.
Pleasant in the mouth, again malt and caramel, but well balanced, after all.
Light to medium body, average aftertaste, with caramel and a hint of light burnt.
Some touches of balancing bitterness.

AndoBrew brought back a shlew of Romanian beers from his recent European excursion. I'm told Romanian beer can be a real special treat. Here's hoping!
Apperance: Pours a clear, dark brown body with a lush, fizzy off-white head.
Smell: Bready dark malt aroma of caramel and molasses. Hint of almonds.
Taste: Mild caramel and molasses flavors with a moderate sweetness. Again, there's that hint of almond. There's only a very vague hint of hops. Ultimately, the beer finishes pretty sweet.
Mouthfeel: Medium-thin body. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: It's okay, but so far the clear-cut winner of Romanian Beer Nite!

Conrad Black not welcome back to Canada
Conrad Black called his status as a Canadian "an impediment to his progress in another more amenable jurisdiction." Now that Black\'s current status is a foreigner facing criminal charges in the United States, he wants his Canadian citizenship back. We don\'t want him. I, the undersigned, believe that Conrad Black, having renounced his Canadian citizenship, having been counseled on the repercussions of this act, having done so to further his self-aggrandizement with entry into the British House of Lords, should have to serve his sentence in the country in which he has been tried and convicted. My tax Canadian tax dollars should not be funding Conrad Black\'s incarceration. We call upon the Government of Canada to deny Conrad Black citizenship and to disallow any serving of his sentence in Canada.

Things I liked:Realistic Look, Decent power/Accuracy, CO2 Powered, 15 Round Clips
Things I would have changed:More Power 400fps is enough but more would definitly be better.
What others should know:This gun is a stayer. I'v had mine atleast 10 years and it still shoots tight groups at 7.5 yards. I left it out in the garage for several years on accident then when I found it I dusted it off and started firing it with no problems. A great gun that will last years and years.
Things I liked:i was given this gun as a gift about 12 years ago...i never even tried to use it until today..was going through some old boxes and found it and decided to give it a try..i even used the co's that came with it and the bb's...i love this thing..i am having so much fun..shooting soda cans in my hallway at 27 feet and hitting almost every time...i like it so much i ordered two more air pistols ....feel like a kid again...i am a 58 yr old male.
Things I would have changed:the only thing i would change would be the front site. i would make it white because shooting in my hall where the light isn't great i am having a hard time even seeing it...otherwise nothing..i love this gun.
What others should know:buy it, it's awesome.
Things I liked:Decent power.
Things I would have changed:Update the item illustration picture. It's not correct for the revised style 693.
What others should know:I owned one of these previously, and it eventually developed an air leak. But I used it a LOT,and had it a long time. The reason I bought another of the same was, I had already bought extra clips and a laser sight. Only problem with the new one is, my laser don't fit on it. The new one has a Weaver Picatinny mount. My old one didn't. So the illustration they have for the gun is of the older model.

There's a Bay Area connection to the escape inmates who were caught in Panhandle. Florida Department of Law Enforcement Commissioner Gerald Bailey said Joseph Jenkins and Charles Walker were in the same prison as a Pinellas County inmate who escaped from jail back in 2009 using forged documents.
FOX 13 Investigative Reporter Doug Smith exposed the issue, which fooled the clerk's office and allowed Nydeed Nashaddai to go free for less than a day before the mistake was discovered.
Nashaddai was in the same prison as the recent escapees who used similar techniques to forge documents. Was he the mastermind? FDLE stopped short of making a direct link.
"There's still a lot we do not know and there's a lot we have yet to prove," said FDLE Commissioner Gerald Bailey.
Nashaddai forged the signature of Chief Judge Thomas McGrady to spring himself from the Pinellas County jail in 2009. The forged paperwork in the case of Jenkins and Walker was filed in the Orange County Clerk of Courts office, and signed by Chief Judge Belvin Perry in Orlando.
PREVIOUS COVERAGE: Jury convicts escaped inmate
Judge McGrady spoke to reporters about the situation Tuesday afternoon.
"I was obviously surprised, but I kind of said to myself, 'oh no not again.' I don't know who was involved, but I couldn't help wondering if Mr. Nashaddai is in that same facility," McGrady said.
The mistaken release led the Corrections Department to change its policy for early prisoner releases. It also caused the chief judge in the judicial circuit that covers Orange and Osceola counties in metro Orlando to change how orders are filed in the clerks of courts offices.
Judge Perry signed an order Monday that prohibits judicial orders from being accepted at drop-off boxes. His order also requires judicial assistants to keep a log of all orders to change an inmate's prison sentence.
When the clerk's office gets an order to change a sentence, the clerk must verify with the judge or judicial assistant that the order was issued, according to the new measures.
Now investigators are trying to figure out how the escape happened, who helped the inmates and and how many more escapes have gone undetected?
Officials with Florida Department of Law Enforcement say they just don't have those answers yet, but they're close, explains Commissioner Gerald Bailey.
"We have, today, uncovered key facts and we have now targeted several suspects. There's still a lot that we do not know, and there's a lot that we have yet to prove," Bailey said.
Officials say they know of seven cases were inmates tried to use forged documents to escape.
Those include the 2009 escape of Nydeed Nashaddai, who forged the signature of Pinellas County Judge Thomas McGrady.
He was re-captured, convicted of escape and then sent to the same prison where two convicted murders used forged documents to escape last week, leaving the victims' family members on edge for days.
"Unraveling the escape plot won't be easy or fast. We are looking at criminal history records, we're looking at DOC records, were looking at phone tolls, we're looking at canteen accounts. It goes on and on," Bailey said.
From the outside, officials are tracking down the inmates' associates, friends, or family who may have had a hand in it.
On the inside, they're looking just as closely.
"We are investigating that, and we will determine if in fact it was an inside job, or if they had any kind of inside assistance," Bailey said.
There is a $20,000 reward for information that leads to anyone who helped in the construction of the forged documents. Anyone who has tips should contact Big Bend Crime Stoppers at 850-574-TIPS (8477).

While planting corn and potatoes this weekend the Princess (our 1955 Cub) had a flat front tire. Realizing my 48 (Rex) wouldn't need front tires for a bit, we changed one out. Figured while I had it off of Princess - I'd sandblast and paint it up. That went so well. I decided to do a rim on Rex. Sand blasting that was quite a chore, due to LOTS of rust where the wheel weights had been of 65 years.
In the process of cleaning and painted I noted that the 48 rims were riveted together and the 55 was welded. Interesting manufacturing change in 7 years of production. Anyone know when they changed to welded hubs instead of riveted?
Regards, Ken

|Spring sports off to slow start here
By Gary Ridderbusch
With more than a foot of snow still on the ground, the spring sports season is getting off to a slow start for area high school teams as many nonconference games already have been cancelled.
The only sport that has had any resemblance of a season is track — especially at Northland Pines High School. That's because Pines has a field house that includes a five-lane, 200-meter indoor track, along with space for high jumping, pole vaulting, throwing the shot and a long-jumping pit filled with foam pellets.That leaves baseball, softball, girls soccer and golf

San Marino country brief
The Republic of San Marino is an enclaved microstate in central Italy, near Rimini. It is the third smallest state in Europe after the Holy See and the Principality of Monaco, occupying 61 square kilometres. The population of San Marino is just over 32,000. San Marino's landscape is dominated by the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Mount Titano, which peaks at 735 metres. The official language of San Marino is Italian and the majority of the population is ethnically Sammarinese, with smaller numbers of Italians also present.
Archaeological evidence shows that the area around San Marino has been inhabited since prehistoric times. San Marino's traditional history begins, however, in 301AD with the establishment of a community of Christians escaping persecution from the Roman Emperor Diocletian. The community was founded by the stonemason Marinus, later given sainthood to become the San Marino after whom the state is named.
Like many other Italian city-states, San Marino eventually developed a form of autonomous local government, calling itself the "Free City of San Marino" and later the "Republic of San Marino." Government powers in San Marino were originally entrusted to an assembly of the most important families. In 1243, the system was changed to include the bi-annual election of two Captains Regent to serve concurrent six month terms as the effective Heads of State. This unique system of government survives to the present day.
San Marino is the only surviving Italian city-state, due in no small part to its expert use of diplomacy. Despite temporary occupation by foreign military forces in 1503 and 1739, San Marino was able to avoid occupation by Napoleonic troops in the prolonged series of European wars at the end of the 18th century. Similarly, despite the forced incorporation of many of the Italian peninsula's historic city-states into the new nation of Italy during the mid-19th century war of unification, San Marino's provision of asylum to Garibaldi's pro-unification troops enabled it to extract a guarantee of independence from the newly formed Italy.
The Republic has a reputation for hospitality, especially its historic generosity to asylum seekers. During the Second World War, despite having a resident population of just 15,000, San Marino provided shelter and asylum to 100,000 evacuees from Italy.
Political overview
San Marino's republican constitution dates back to 1600 and, on this basis, it claims to be the world's oldest continuous republic. The legislature of the Republic is the Great and General Council (Consiglio grande e generale). The Council is a unicameral legislature with 60 members. The members of the Council are elected under a system of proportional representation to serve five year terms.
Executive power is vested in the Congress of State, a cabinet group formed from the ranks of the winning coalition in the Great and General Council. The Congress is composed of 10 secretaries, the most important of which is the Secretary of State, whose role is prime ministerial in nature. Since the 2012 elections this role has been filled by Secretary of State for Finance, Pasquale Valentini.
The current government coalition, elected in November 2012, is a centrist grouping, known as San Marino Bene Comune (the "Pact for San Marino"). The coalition comprises representatives of the Christian Democratic Party, the Party of Socialists and Democrats, and the Popular Alliance. It won 51.1 per cent of the vote and obtained the largest single share of preferences from Sammarinese living abroad, with 49 per cent of votes.
Head of State functions are fulfilled by two Captains Regent, who are selected by the Council to serve concurrent six-month terms. The roles of the Captains Regent are largely ceremonial. Investiture of the new Captains Regent occurs on 1 April and 1 October every year. The Captains Regent for the 1 April 2013 to 30 September 2013 term are former Secretary of State, Antonella Mularoni, and Denis Amici.
Economic Overview
San Marino's economy is based predominantly on tourism and banking. It also has small agricultural and manufacturing sectors. Italy is San Marino's main trading partner, accounting for approximately 90 per cent of exports. Although not a member of the European Union, San Marino uses the Euro as its national currency under a special agreement with the Council of the European Union.
Traditionally a prosperous nation, the global economic downturn – and corresponding Eurozone debt crisis – has had a negative effect on San Marino's economy, which has seen five years of GDP contraction. It contracted by 13 per cent in 2009, 5.2 per cent in 2010, 2.6 per cent in 2011 and 2 per cent in 2012.
In September 2009 the OECD removed San Marino from its list of tax havens in recognition of the efforts San Marino had made towards harmonising its fiscal laws with the EU and international standards. In 2010 San Marino signed Tax Information Exchange Agreements with most major countries, including Australia.
Bilateral relationship
Australia and San Marino established formal diplomatic relations in 1995, with accreditation through the Australian Embassy in Rome. San Marino has had an Honorary Consul-General in Australia, based in Victoria, since 2007. In recognition of the growing relationship between Australia and San Marino, a bilateral Tax Information Exchange Agreement was signed in 2010. In April 2012, Parliamentary Secretary for Foreign Affairs, the Hon Richard Marles MP, visited the Republic, the first such high-level visit from either side.
Australia's economic relations with San Marino are minimal and official statistics are not recorded.

Made of soft cozy fleece, they are a kid's camping essential.
Learn how to make this easy pillowcase dress. It looks adorable with any fabrics.
Start by trimming up the sides of your ½ yard of merino wool. Chances are, it hasn't been cut perfectly straight from the bolt, so use a rotary cutter and acrylic ruler to even up the long sides.
Next, use your patterned print to make a length of binding. Cut 1" strips from the fabric and sew each short end together to create one strip of fabric, long enough to go around the entire perimeter of your wool. Press the long strip in half longways with a steam iron, then press the raw edges in towards the center, to create your binding. You could also use a bias tape maker.
Open up the binding slightly, and pin the raw edge to the raw edge of the wool. Fold over the short end about ½" and start sewing the binding to the wool along the first fold, starting about 2" away from the short, folded end.
To make a neat, mitred corner, sew the binding to the wool all the way towards the first corner, stopping ¼" away from the end.
Keep both the needle and the machine foot in the up position and pull your fabric away slightly from the machine to give you room to work.
Pull the binding out to the side (perpendicular to the seam just sewn) then fold it back down over the seam you are about to sew. Pin in place to secure.
Put the fabric back under the machine, turning in 90 degrees so that you are ready to sew along the new edge. Begin sewing from the very top.
Repeat this process for all remaining corners. When you get back to the beginning, place the final bit of binding over the top of the starting point, sew together and trim any excess.
Remove your sewing from the machine and prepare a needle and thread for hand sewing. Turn the binding to the back of the scarf, encasing the raw edges of the wool in its folds. Hand stitch the folded edge of the binding to the back of the scarf by inserting the needle through the fold and then taking small stitches through the wool. If you use thread of a similar color to your wool, your stitches will be virtually invisible.
Make one small stitch on the back of the mitred corners and check that your corners and neat on the front of the scarf.
Using a patterned print on the edges like this, gives you so many options to make a unique and personalized scarf. You could even opt to use silk or satin fabrics to create the binding.

|FHWA > Design > Programmatic Agreement for Processing Interstate Access Requests
Printable Version (.pdf, 0.6 mb)
Section 1505 of MAP-21 provides the Secretary the option of allowing State DOTs to review and approve access justification reports for changes in access to the Interstate System. Further, Section 1318(d) of MAP-21 provides the authority for FHWA to enter into programmatic agreements (PAs) with State DOTs for carrying out project reviews. Therefore, FHWA has identified the opportunity to streamline the review and approval process for certain types of change in I-System access requests by entering into PAs with State DOTs. While the FHWA remains legally responsible for approval of all changes in access, the programmatic agreements allow for a substantially streamlined approval process for proposed changes in I-System access.
Under the PA, State DOTs have the responsibility to review access requests and make a determination that the proposed change in access meets the PA's requirements for engineering and operational acceptability. Once an access request is determined to be acceptable by the State DOT, the State will notify the FHWA Division Office of this determination. The access request will be considered approved by FHWA unless the Division Office responds otherwise within a specific period of time as determined by the Division Office and specified in the PA.
The PA only applies to the following types of change in I-system access requests:
Review and approval authority for all other types of access requests is retained by FHWA.
The attached PA template and related guidance provide information on key considerations for entering into a PA for the review and approval of access requests. Division Offices are encouraged to work with their State DOTs on determining if they have the necessary controls, procedures and policies in place in order to carry out the requirements of the PA. Additionally, the Divisions and State DOTs will need to review their Stewardship and Oversight agreements and any other related standard operating procedures and make any necessary revisions based on the PA.
If you have any questions on the PA process, please contact Michael Matzke in the Office of Infrastructure at (202) 366-4658 or Jomar Maldonado in the Office of Chief Counsel at (202) 366-1373.

Foreclosure for Google Maps Real Estate
Google Maps users in the US, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan until now have been able to search for real estate directly on Google Maps. However Google today announced that they are removing real estate results from Google Maps.
The search giant gives two main reasons behind the removal, low usage and the impending retirement of the Google Base API. Real estate will be discontinued on Google Maps on February 10, 2011.

The Redlands East Valley High football team has suffered a tough blow at the most inopportune time.
Kylie Fitts, the Wildcats' star senior defensive end bound for USC on a full scholarship, suffered fractured bones in his right wrist and a dislocation to the wrist and is "out for the season" according to Wildcats coach Kurt Bruich. Bruich also said by text Fitts will have surgery Wednesday, Oct. 17.
Reached on his cell phone Tuesday night, Fitts confirmed the injury and was trying to be upbeat but is clearly disappointed he will likely miss the rest of the season, including Friday's Smudge Pot Game at Dodge Field against rival Redlands, a highly anticipated contest between two 2-0 Citrus Belt League teams.
"It's been a hard couple of days and it's tough this week with us playing RHS," Fitts said. "It will hard to just stand on the sideline while my friends are out on the field. I'll be hurting inside."
He said he went to the hospital that night and inquired whether the injury could be "clubbed" (given a soft cast, so he could play) but was told no.
REV defensive back Blake Braun, a close friend of Fitts' who has played with him since Riverside youth ball, said Daniel Gonzlaes had intercepted a pass against Miller and was headed for the end zone and Fitts went for a blind-side block of a Rebel, made the block, "blew out" the knee of the Miller player and then was injured himself.
"I think he landed weird on it (his wrist) and might have gotten (accidentally) kicked," Braun said.
Regarding the mood of the REV players, Braun said: "We're just looking at it like he's another player, not some All-World guy. We have other guys who can fill in and play that spot. We'll be fine."
Braun said Nick Oropeza and Scott Foley will likely alternate in replacing Fitts, who averages 5.2 tackles per game, has four sacks for the season and three hurries of the quarterback.

A suburban Chicago man was sentenced to life in prison Tuesday for killing his wife and three school-age children as they sat buckled into the family's SUV -- allegedly so he could start a new life subsisting in the Canadian wilderness.
The sentencing of Christopher Vaughn, 37, came two months after jurors found him guilty of killing his 34-year-old wife, Kimberly, and their children on June 14, 2007. Each child was shot once in the chest and head.
The judge sentenced Vaughn to four consecutive life sentences with no possibility of parole. Vaughn did not make a statement in court.
SEE: Life sentence likely for Vaughn in murder of wife, 3 kids
Kimberly Vaughn's twin sister, Susan Ledbetter, poignantly described her pain, telling the court how she occasionally walks by a mirror and sees her sister's image and how she hears her sister's laughter whenever she laughs.
"I silently wonder if my parents and older sister experience pain in my presence because Kim and I share not only our looks but also many of our personality traits," she said, weeping as she read her impact statement to the court.
Vaughn, who lived with his family in a spacious Oswego home, faced a mandatory life term for the killings. But the hearing in Joliet gave relatives a chance to confront him and to convey how much pain he caused.
"Thank God for giving us the grace to get through this dark valley," Kimberly Vaughn's father, Del Phillips, said after the hearing.
Choking back emotions, Kimberly Vaughn's parents talked about the pain of losing their daughter as well as their three grandchildren, Abigail, Cassandra and Blake.
"I think that in time, we'll never forget these four people," said Kimberly's mother, Susan. "They're there everyday of our lives, but I think the perspective will change as we grow older."
The 2007 murders started out as a death penalty case, slowing the pace to trial. But Illinois has since abolished capital punishment, making life in prison the maximum penalty.
"There isn't a punishment that fits this crime," Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow told reporters outside the courtroom after the sentencing.
"What this guy did here was a diabolical atrocity, and he's a heartless, soulless, psychopath," Glasgow said.
Vaughn murdered his family members, prosecutors say, because he saw them as obstacles to his dream of a new life in Canada. He posted wistful Internet messages about building a cabin and settling in the Yukon cut off from the world. His mother-in-law wondered why he didn't just leave.
"If he would have just walked away, she would have cleaned up things in Chicago and come to St. Louis and gotten on with her life," Susan said. 'The kids would have been happy and healthy and part of two sets of grandparents, and now they're gone for all of us."
According to prosecutors, Vaughn woke his family on the day of the killings promising a surprise trip to a water park. But shortly after 5 a.m., he pulled off the road, shot his wife, then killed 12-year-old Abigayle, 11-year-old Cassandra and Blake, 8.
Abigayle was found holding a stuffed animal; Blake's wounds indicated he had raised his arm to shield himself.
Kimberly Vaughn's father described his own struggle since then in a statement read to the court by a prosecutor. He said the loss has made him hesitate before he hugs his other grandchildren.
"Emotionally, as a result of these four executions, I have unwittingly withdrawn from playing with my surviving grandchildren," the statement said.
At trial, defense attorneys told jurors that Vaughn's wife was to blame, saying she was suicidal over marital strife. They suggested she shot her husband in the wrist and leg, then killed the children and herself.
Prosecutors balked at that theory, asking jurors whether it seems reasonable that a woman who disliked guns could have shot her husband twice, only grazing him each time, but fatally shot each of her children with a marksman's precision.
They said Vaughn shot himself to make it look like his wife carried out the attack. Prosecutors said Vaughn showed little emotion after the shootings and was more interested in his damaged clothing than his family's fate.
Kimberly Vaughn's mother, Susan Phillips, told reporters she hoped the trial's conclusion might allow them to begin to heal and to strengthen relationships with friends who she said no longer knew how to speak to them after the killings.
"People started to cry before we ever say a word, and then we end up being the comforter," she said. "But in a way that's also I think part of our closure, we're able to give."
She said the family never suspected Vaughn was capable of committing such a crime.
She described her son-in-law as introverted and pre-occupied with computers and his BlackBerry, but said that as a teacher she knew children who behaved similarly and didn't think much of it.
"It wasn't peculiar at that time," she said.
Del Phillips, however, recalled how his son-in-law seemed not to know how to hug or play with his children and that he appeared to be studying the grandfather's interactions with them so he would know how to behave. He said Vaughn was skilled at portraying emotion at the right moments.
In hindsight, he said of Vaughn, "He's the evil in the night."
He said he wished Vaughn would have said something at the sentencing hearing.
"I'm sorry' would have been a good one," Phillips said. "If he would have just said that, it would have helped a little bit on the closure aspect."
The judge also denied Vaughn's request for a new trial on Tuesday.
His trial overlapped with the trial of Drew Peterson, the former suburban Chicago police officer convicted of killing his third wife.

Vaughn's attorney, George Lenard, argued that his client didn't get a fair trial partly because the news conferences held by Peterson's lawyers at the court damaged his own credibility as a defense attorney.
Rozak said Tuesday there is no evidence that jurors were even aware of the other attorneys' news conferences.
Police are investigating the murder of a homeless man who was beaten to death in an alley in Logan Square.

Wednesday, NBC finally announced a change in the leadership of the flagship Tonight show.
After weeks of rumors, on-camera jokes and and on-line comments it's official. Jimmy Fallon will take over the Tonight Show reins in a year.
The announcement of the change from Leno, 62, to Fallon, 38, is seen as a way to continue the Tonight Show franchise into the next decade.
That's actually only one of the changes. The Tonight Show will return to New York City, where it started, and Loren Michaels of "Saturday Night Live" will become the executive producer.
The change-over next year is expected in February, after the Olympics.
NBC hasn't said who might get the 11:30 p.m. time slot.

Missouri has the 34th ranked lawsuit climate in America, in the bottom-third of all states.
The 2012 State Liability Systems Ranking Study was conducted for the U.S. Chamber Institute for Legal Reform to explore how fair and reasonable the states' tort liability systems are perceived to be by U.S. businesses. Participants in the survey were comprised of a national sample of 1,125 in-house general counsel, senior litigators or attorneys, and other senior executives who indicated that they are knowledgeable about litigation matters at companies with at least $100 million in annual revenues. The 2012 ranking builds on previous years' work, where in each survey year all 50 states are ranked by those familiar with the litigation environment in that state. Prior to these rankings, information regarding the attitudes of the business world toward the legal systems in each of the states had been largely anecdotal. The State Liability Systems Ranking Study aims to quantify how corporate attorneys view the state systems. Read More »

Black Hills Ammunition
Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel
PEWAUKEE, Wis. — The city's police department stockpiled 58,000 rounds of ammunition - more than 10 times the amount the average Lake Country department has on hand - and officials are unsure how such an amount was purchased, at what cost or even where it was purchased.
The department had so much ammunition, the supply exceeded the capacity of the armory and some was stored in the city garage. The Common Council learned of the stockpile Monday during a report by the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department.

Elizabeth Hartley Winthrop, who recently moved to Cape Ann, has just released her third novel "The Why of Things," published by Simon & Schuster.
Winthrop, who was born and raised in New York City, spent summers growing up here on Cape Ann, where the novel takes place.
Two readings are scheduled here, the first tonight (Wednesday, June 26) at 7 p.m. at Toad Hall Bookstore on Main Street in Rockport, and the second on July 11 at The Bookstore in Gloucester.
Winthrop's latest novel is about a family struggling to cope in the aftermath of their 17-year-old daughter's suicide. But into that mix comes another death; a pickup truck inexplicably drives into a quarry in the backyard of the family's summer home late one June evening, after which divers recover the body of a young man.
"The book starts and ends at the same quarry's edge, but a quarry changed. Winthrop's quiet magic makes the water's mutable darkness bearable and better — nothing to be afraid of, a substance of possibilities," wrote Christine Schutt, author of "Prosperous Friends."
Schutt went on to write that Winthrop "conjures light from a dark place in her beautifully constructed novel."
Simon & Schuster Senior Editor Millicent Bennett noted the talent of the author, called "bitingly intelligent" by The New York Times.
"For a long time I've admired Elizabeth from afar as one of the most talented up-and-coming writers of her generation, so when the chance came to publish her myself I jumped at it," wrote Bennett in a press release. "Her new novel takes us inside the story of a family's loss and healing in the wake of a shocking tragedy. It's a theme that resonates strongly with so many readers, including myself yet I've seldom seen the subject handled with such controlled grace, honesty, and compassion."

Woody Williams: In just about any other postseason game the Cardinals have played this year, that performance would've been the headline. But since rookie Brandon Backe matched Williams, it ended up being more like a footnote. Williams didn't allow a hit after Jeff Bagwell's two-out single in the opening inning and just five of his pitches required a play by an outfielder. Williams escaped time and again after falling behind in the count until his final inning of work required merely five pitches. He's the Cardinals ace this series, and he pitched like it.
Scott Rolen: Four ground balls hit his way, four outs, including a diving stop and throw from his knees that took away a potential leadoff double in the fourth. Rolen didn't hit the ball out of the infield this game, but he didn't let any ball he could reach get out, either.
Reggie Sanders: Carlos Beltran's diving grab to end the top of the seventh earned seemingly 100 replays. Sanders' lunging catch to rob Jeff Kent leading off the bottom half of the inning was replayed once, leaving at least a few viewers with a DVR looking for the rewind button during next commercial break. Sanders also had the best drive off a St. Louis bat, a deep launch to straightaway center that died on Tal's Hill. Sanders' game won't be remembered, but it's another example why he keeps finding his way onto so many playoff teams.
Tony Womack: He had the Cardinals' only hit in the sixth despite swinging at a 2-0 pitch and going to 2-2. Womack swung aggressively his next at-bat in the ninth and lost the gamble, grounding out on Brad Lidge's first pitch. Another leadoff man might've made Lidge work, especially in Lidge's fifth inning over three days, but that might've been Womack's best chance to see a pitch to hit.
Jason Isringhausen: He didn't look sharp from the start of that fateful ninth inning, though finding a comfort zone can't be easy to do when Beltran is leading off the inning. Isringhausen's never been known for holding runners on base well, and he threw over to first three times to keep Beltran honest, but he didn't do it again after getting Bagwell to a 1-2 count. Bagwell flew out to bring up Lance Berkman, who worked to a 2-2 count when Beltran swiped second. Isringhausen then issued the intentional walk to Berkman, setting up Kent for that first pitch Isringhausen undoubtedly wishes he could have back.
Five cowboy boots: Freshly shined and a perfect fit, ready for some serious two-stepping
Four cowboy boots: The first choice for a night on the town
Three cowboy boots: A few scuff marks, but no one will notice
Two cowboy boots: Showing serious signs of wear
One cowboy boot: Somebody stepped in something
Brandon Backe: When a rookie pitcher's only mistake all night is missing on a bunt attempt, he's done all right. You kept waiting for the adrenaline to wear off and for close outs to turn into hits, but it only happened once. Instead, Backe enjoyed that kind of game that turns a young pitcher into a rising star every hitter knows about the following year. Backe seemingly knew exactly where to put the ball in home-plate umpire Angel Hernandez's strike zone without letting a Cardinal other than Sanders to get decent contact on the ball. Nobody's feeling sorry for Phil Garner having to start Backe in Games 1 and 5 anymore.
Jeff Kent: He's not a Killer B, but he sure burned Isringhausen, pouncing on a pitch over the middle of the plate and sending it into LCS history. If the Astros go on to win the series, this will be the pitch that turned it. Two of Kent's three hits in the series have been homers. But then, if not for Sanders' lunging grab, Kent might've had the leadoff double that resulted in the deciding run in the seventh.
Carlos Beltran: He helped the win in three different ways. His run and dive seemingly from Beaumont to left-center flat-out stole a hit from Edgar Renteria. Beltran's leadoff single in the ninth was Houston's first hit since the opening inning. Once Beltran got on base, he was all too glad to take second once Isringhausen finally threw a ball the Astros couldn't take a swing at. After all that, nobody will remember this as his first homerless game since Game 4 of the Division Series.
Brad Lidge: Ice pack, anybody? At least he got to wait until the ninth before going out there, but after back-to-back two-inning performances, he looked as fresh as he did in Game 3. Lidge sent down the top third of the Cardinals order in nine pitches, including Larry Walker and Albert Pujols on back-to-back strikeouts. To put that in perspective, Walker and Pujols made back-to-back outs in the same inning all of three times through the first four games of the series compared to six times reaching base safely back-to-back.

If you want to be taken seriously as an actor, the quickest route to success is to gain/lose a bunch of weight and/or lose your hair. 50 Cent has done both, but don't expect anyone to come calling around awards season time.
A trailer has surfaced for "Things Fall Apart," a VERY SERIOUS movie about a football player who gets stricken with cancer. Looking like it was made for about $500 with Tommy Wiseau doing the location scouting, everything about this trailer is a wonderfully, hilarious miss. From the opening voiceover intoning "Deon Barnes had it all....until life got in the way" everything just gets worse/better including Ray Liotta showing up playing a doctor in a hospital that seems to be set up in an abandoned office building. Will Deon make it to the NFL? What did he do with the game ball? Will he ever get those lustrous locks back? So many questions that demand answers.
Mario Van Peebles directed this, though he may want Alan Smithee to take a credit instead. Check out the trailer and synopsis for yourself below and you might want to get some Kleenex handy to wipe away the tears from laughing. [via Vulture]
DEON BARNES (Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson) is a college running back with a fierce combination of blazing speed and stunning power. His mom BEE (Lynn Whitfield) works double shifts as a bartender, and when Deon's on TV, the bar is packed with supporters. Family friend ERIC (Mario Van Peebles) has always been there to support Bee and to mentor Deon. Deon's brother Sean is also a college student, a hard worker who pays for his college education with the help of financial aid and a full time job at a car dealership.
Deon gets along with Sean, unaware of the resentment Sean feels towards him. Sean works hard to make good grades, and Deon works hard to become an NFL draft pick. Deon is the big man on campus, likes to party, and has his pick of beautiful co-eds. Sean has a crush on Sharon, a pretty co-ed, but somehow she ends up with Deon.
Needing a win to secure a berth in the Post-season, Deon hoists the team on his back and carries them to victory. But the celebration is short lived. He collapses in the locker room and wakes up in the hospital, where he learns he has cancer. DR. BRINSTALL (Ray Liotta) tells him and his family that he will probably never play football again.
Eric conspires to keep Deon's disease a secret from the NFL Scouts. Deon, his dreams crushed, undergoes chemotherapy treatment, shedding nearly eighty pounds of muscle and leaving him weak, almost helpless. He returns to school a shadow of his former self, emaciated and unrecognizable. Sharon stands by Deon, but finds herself growing close to Sean. One night while studying, Sean tells her the truth– the only reason Deon ever approached her was because Sean was interested in her. Deon catches them kissing and confronts Sean. With his football career in serious jeopardy and his family seeming to turn on him, Deon begins to realize a startling truth: he's not really a good person.
His family begins to fall apart. Like him, their hopes and dreams were dependant on his success in the NFL. Deon struggles to pick up the pieces of his life, and reconcile with Sean, but Dr. Brinstall informs him that the cancer has spread. With precious little time left in his life, Deon sets out to put his family back together again.
THINGS FALL APART is a humorous, touching story about a man who loses everything, but gains the world. Like the Oscar winning film THE BLIND SIDE, this is a film that will stir emotions and inspire audiences worldwide. Acclaimed director Mario Van Peebles brings the story to life with great football action and heartwarming characters. An astonishingly emotional and heartfelt star turn from Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson anchors the film. Jackson heads up a stellar cast who deliver performances that make this a crowd-pleasing instant classic.

I take care of people in hospice,and this is a refreshing story of someone trying to go out''on top'' so to speak.Anyone who misses the whole point of this movie,SHAME ON THEM.
Steven Grujovski | March 14, 2011 4:18 AM
Firstly, this trailer is unofficial! Meaning someone else has ripped it off or leaked it!
Secondly, I think the story is compelling and original, it may be a bit chezzy with the voice over's, but hey it's an independent movie!
All I'm going to say is give it a go, can't base the quality of a movie from its trailer. Hollywood movies yes, but this movie isn't Hollywood… its real life, which is something missing from many Hollywood produced movies today.

Lord, 50 Cent has to stop appearing in film projects that he develops on his own. Brutal. Oh and Ray Liotta, kinda fitting actually. Worst of 2011?
SoulHonky | March 9, 2011 5:06 AM
In terms of hilariously awful, nothing 50 does will ever top the obvious dummy fall in Righteous Kill. It looked like it was an homage to that old Steve Ray Vaughn video.

A music student's dream of learning from the best is usually reserved for those who are fortunate and talented enough to attend one of a handful of America's top music schools.
But it doesn't come cheap. Schools like the Berklee College of Music, Julliard or the Frost School of Music at the University of Miami are for serious music career-oriented students and cost tens of thousands of dollars in tuition.
Sure, you can go on YouTube and find a competent drummer teaching the basics of Elvin Jones' polyrhythmic style or a Jimmy Page devotee demonstrating one of the guitar legend's favorite pentatonic licks. These, however, usually fall short of ideal music instruction, and an aspiring musician can quickly become lost in a YouTube education maze that lacks structure and focus.
That's the void Napa-based online music school ArtistWorks hopes to fill. Co-founded by a former AOL executive, ArtistWorks has collected a faculty of acclaimed musicians, including Grammy winning artists such as legendary British guitarist Martin Taylor or jazz bassist John Patitucci.
For less than you would pay for a single music lesson at a local music store, ArtistWorks offers a month's worth of online instruction with such talents as internationally renowned classical guitarist Jason Vieaux or jazz drumming legend Billy Cobham, who once played with Horace Silver, George Benson and Miles Davis.
A year-long membership will cost you $240, or $20 a month.
"When I tell people they don't believe that you can have access to this caliber of teacher for that price," said David Butler, who co-founded ArtistWorks with his wife Patricia in 2008.
With 24 different "schools" and about 7,000 online students, ArtistWorks is part of a growing trend in e-learning, a phenomenon that extends from the vastness of YouTube servers to countless online music instruction sites that bring lessons to anyone with a credit card or PayPal.

The Herald Bulletin
It stood to reason that protecting the new franchise quarterback would be near the top of the Indianapolis Colts' to-do list this offseason.
The team proved just how important the notion was, signing a pair of offensive line reinforcements on the first day of the new NFL year Tuesday. Gosder Cherilus — a 6-foot-7, 325-pound offensive tackle out of Boston College — was imported from the Detroit Lions, and Donald Thomas — a 6-4, 305-pound guard from Connecticut — was plucked off the New England Patriots' roster.
The two new bodyguards could be paired together on the right side, joining returning starters Anthony Castonzo, Joe Reitz and Samson Satele. Thomas also could play at left guard, perhaps leaving Reitz and Mike McGlynn to battle for the final starting spot in training camp.
Utility man Jeff Linkenbach, twice-injured 2011 draft pick Ben Ijalana and last year's backup center A.Q. Shipley also could be worked into the mix.
"I got a solid six hours (of sleep) last night, no interruptions," Colts head coach Chuck Pagano said of his comfort with the revamped offensive line during a Friday news conference. "I feel really good. What we have coming back and then adding Gosder and Donald, it's hard to find guys like that. It's hard to get them in here."
Cherilus and Thomas are maulers who could add a physical presence to the power running game Pagano has stated as his preference since taking the reigns in Indianapolis last January.
The two newcomers also fit the punishing profile necessary for new offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's version of the West Coast offense.
It's a scheme second-year quarterback Andrew Luck knows well. Hamilton was his offensive coordinator during his record-setting final season at Stanford.
While the system is likely to improve Luck's much talked about completion percentage, Pagano was hesitant to say the change is being made solely with the quarterback in mind.
"He broke all kinds of records outside of a West Coast offense in his rookie season, 4,374 yards, 433 against Miami and everything else," Pagano said. "He wouldn't be able to tell you those numbers because he really doesn't care about those numbers. I think when you blend a West Coast system type of offense in there at the end of the day, whatever you want to call us, from Day 1 we said you've got to be able to run the football and stop the run. So we're going to continue to do that.
"We bolstered our line on both sides of the ball to be able to do that: Control the line of scrimmage, knock them back on defense and knock people off the ball on offense so we can run the football and stop the run."
That doesn't mean the Colts won't still take shots downfield. The team just plans to mix in more slants and crossing routes to complement the power running attack and get the ball to its playmakers in space.
One thing is certain to change in the passing game, however: The backup quarterback. Veteran Drew Stanton signed with the Arizona Cardinals last week, leaving second-year man Chandler Harnish as the only signal-caller on the roster other than Luck.
Indianapolis could look to add a low-cost veteran before organized team activities begin next month.
"Chandler is coming along well," general manager Ryan Grigson said. "We all feel very good about Chandler. Just like every position, though, we always want to create competition and let the best emerge. Because we are not just trying to be average or good, we are trying to be great around here."
The best chance of that, of course, is with Luck under center.
And that's why Pagano can rest easier this week, with two big new blockers protecting his team's future up front.
"We've got a really special guy under center," Pagano said. "When he's upright, he's healthy and we keep him clean, then we're going to continue to win a lot of football games around here."
