3.48/5 rDev -9.1%
On tap in Templebar Porterhouse. Thick creamy nitro head with a dark black color. Chocolate aroma. Flavor is an odd mix of a mild stout and strong chocolate flavoring. Not a great balance of the two; I've certainly had tastier chocolate stouts, usually with a little more oomph. I got the impression that this was overly mild and watered down. Not a bad beer, but I've had more enjoyable examples.

Tasted today by half-pint at the Porterhouse in Covent Garden, London. The beer is a seasonal brew produced b/w January and March only.
A: dark brownish colour with tawny hints, coming with a typically thick and frothy tan head coming from a nitro-tap. Very moderate carbonation.
S: chocolate/cacao powder abounds, along with rich aroma of vanilla powder, dark malts, and a faint touch of treacle; aromatic yet very straight-forwardly chocolatey. Compared with Meantime Chocolate Beer, this beer really is "simple-minded".
T: chocolatey bitter-sweet edge underlined by light-bodied stout, leaving a faintly sour-bitter stout-ish finish. Full-stop.
M&D: silky smooth, medium-bodied, and rather balanced; it's quite tasty, but compared with other stouts and porter by the same brewery this one really is a bit disappointingly simplistic and lacks characters. And I still maintain that Meantime Chocolate Beer is way ahead of this beer in the game in terms of complexity and depth--maybe it pairs well with some chocolatey desserts (quite obviously, innit?).

On draft at the Porterhouse Independent Beer Festival.
Pours nitro-black with a tawny head. Chocolate ganache nose. Chocolate and some roastiness in the malts, a cocoa powder middle and slight twig and mint hops to close. Dry finish, light, creamy.
Too thin and one-dimensional. Biggest accomplishment is making the nose smell of truffle and not just chocolate.
I know people go crazy for this every spring, but I just can't get on board.
And why is this in as an American Stout? Body and roast malts (not to mention being made in Ireland) put this as a twist on a Dry Irish.

Arrives in a pint glass, rich black with a solid tan head. Gives a snootful of dark chocolate and sweet dark molasses from 6 inches away, truly intense aroma. Flavor is gently dominated by the chocolate, leans a little toward chocolate flavor extract, but nothing definitive. The rest of the beer is solid enough, a good stout with full malt and roasted barley, pleasantly not sliding into the treacly sweet zone that can make it seem like work ti finish the pint. While I suppose this could be considered a "chick" beer, the "chick" should be one that already likes stout.

A - a deep black with a brown creamy head on the nitro tap.
S - you really think you are about to have a wonderfully flavored stout, not a bad proposition in the land of Irish Dry stouts everywhere. You pull a DEEP molassess and literally chocolate truffles out of the nose of this, immediately, and by anyone who gets near it, experienced or not.
T - to die for. The chocolate tags on this are strong without being overpowering, really, a beautiful add on to a dry stout, without feeling as if it is a powder just dropped in on top of the rew. It is IN THERE, nt on top, masking it. Really, a wonderful brew.
M - mouthfeel is where I think this goes wrong just a bit. If they were to make this a bt higher in ABV, and a bit less dry, (I know, it's Ireland) like an Russian Imperial, it would be remowned as world-class. However, the fact that they didn't...
D - ...makes this a wonderfully sessionable beer, on multiple occasions for many hours as you asway to the traditional and newer music being played in the brewpub.
A helluva beer for a helluvan establishment. If you are ever in Ireland on the east coast, seek this place and this brew out. You will not be disappointed.

This review is from written notes taken while on vacation in Dublin, Ireland Apr '09....just found the notes now!
A- This looks much like the big 3 Irish stouts with the following exceptions....it's got more of a clearness to it with dark brown hues and a hint of red in it. The head is thick, creamy and darker....taupe colored.
S- There was amazing semi-sweet chocolate aromas, which in my opinion made it smell just like hot chocolate. There was also muted roasted coffee, toffee and burnt toast mixed in there as well.
T- This was even better than the aroma let on! There was rich milk and dark chocolate on the front of the palate, followed up with well balanced hop bitterness on the finish. The coffee and burnt malts also show through well. The alcohol was well hidden and the aftertaste left behind lasting bitter tastes.
M- There was slightly higher than expected carbonation, but it was fine bubbles, keeping this a smooth drinking brew. It reminded me of eating a chocolate mousse dessert. The body is more medium bodied, as opposed to the big 3.
D- I would drink this all night no problem! I had this with Irish smoked salmon bruschetta and it balanced out the flavors nicely. This is a perfect dessert beer, but also excellent to have with food. I highly recommend and was a highlight of my beer experiences in Dublin!

I've had my eye on this for awhile and now seems the time. 2008 version poured into a Boulevard tulip.
Sweet caramel, toffee and a bit of must. Deeper richer fruit, like figs and dates. Not overpowering but pleasant and calming.
Pours with no apparent carbonation, but a small thin head does appear and then settles out to a white ring. Garnet colored and glows like a gem.
Tastes very similar to the aroma. Yummy. Much like candied fruit all around, with just a hint of drying on the finish-that actually grows through the glass. The toffee and caramel are now more background.
A bit thin, but that is as much about the low carbonation as anything. Flavor fades on palate in time leaving me ready to place that joy producing elixir right back on there as soon as possible. I will fight those urges and make this wonderful glass of beer last. And I'm going to buy some more. Worth the price I paid.

S- caramel malt, Port like nose, slight dark fruits.
T- caramel malt with again, Port like flavour, some butterscotch, hints of dark fruits.
M- medium to medium high body, no carbonation.

With an aggressive pour this pops a quickly receding white head. Falls to a ring that sticks around. This bottle has no date on it so I can't be certain when it was born, but this has no small amount of years on it../ having any sort of head is impressive. Very nice dark mahogany color, Spot on.
Very complex smell of leather, raisin/tawny port/passito (which suggests a slight tart fruit note and touch of balsamic), prune, brown sugar...
a concentrated boozy molasses/rum-like flavor
Dried apricot
All very nice
Palate follows the nose. The age has hollowed out the mid-palate a bit but the finish kicks in big with leather, beef jerky, amaretto, and an unfortunate slight metallic taste that really takes away from it all.
Med body, dried out a bit with the age
Med-minus carbonation
Elizabethan is a great example of a tradional english old ale
Don't go into it thinking barleywine
Don't go into it thinking about old ales like Fruet or Fourth Dementia
It's a very complex, drinkable, moderate strength (but still pleasantly warming) beer that (except for the unfortunate slight metallic finish) is a joy to experience.

I am told this is the 1996 version 8.1% ABV - In a brown 275 ml bottle with "PLEASE RETURN" and three arrows circling the bottle and an "O.K.M" stamped on the gold bottle cap.
Pours a thin slightly murky dark root beer color that is headless. Tons of dark overly ripe fruits dominate the aroma with plenty of age (sherry notes) and some booziness comprise a great nose. First sip is surprisingly good and tasty. Similar to what the nose indicted, the taste is full of those lovely dark overly ripe fruits like plums and figs. It starts super sweet but quickly finishes with a bitter twist that really captures my attention sip after sip after sip. Though thin bodied and lacking some carbonation - I don't care as this puppy has plenty to offer.

Pours a hazed brown/chestnut with minimal cream colored head. Some head retention & lacing
S: Dark fruit, figs dates, raisins
T: Rich dark fruit, a touch of pears, & woody hops, plus a bit of toffee up front. Some treacle sweetness as this warms, leafy hops, pears & figs. Finishes very dry with woody hops & figs with jammy notes
MF: Zero carbonation & medium bodied, sticky, a little warming
This is good English Old Ale, a proto-type for the style

A: The beer is relatively clear dark garnet in color; close inspection reveals a slight amount of carbonation and a few small particles visible floating in suspension. It poured with just a thick ring of large bubbles on the surface around the edge of the glass.
S: There are moderate to strong complex aromas of port wine, prunes and toffee in the nose.
T: The taste is very similar to the smell and also has some notes of oak and hints of sweetness.
M: It feels medium- to full-bodied on the palate and has a low to moderate amount of carbonation. There is a bit of warming from the alcohol in the finish. Some hints of syrupiness become noticeable as the beer warms up.
O: I found this to be a very interesting beer—it has the complex flavors that you would expect from a barleywine but is a little more drinkable because it doesn't feel as heavy on the palate. The alcohol is also well hidden from the taste.

Nice mellow caramel and sweet malt, dark fruits, a port like element. Faint woody flavor, no hops. Very well integrated and balanced. An excellent old ale. This bottle had no bottling date, but has been stored refrigerated for a year.

A ruby amber on the pour with a small short lived head. Aroma is very fruity, with a bouquet of dark fruits, plums, dates, some yeast, caramel malt, and sweet alcohol esters are present, almost like a brandy. Taste is caramel malt, yeast, dark fruits, plums, dates and some light bitterness. Palate is a full body with a rich creamy texture and soft carbonation. Finish is sweet caramel malt, dark fruits, dates, plums, maybe some light chocolate notes, ending with some sweet slightly bitterness and a lingering alcohol presence, flavors become more pronounced as it warms up. Overall a good ale to sip on cold winter nights

A man charged with arson in a deadly house fire is now also charged with first-degree murder.
Daniel Thomas Papaleo, 60, has been transferred from a hospital to the medical wing of the Pinellas County Jail. He was being treated for injuries sustained in a fire that started at his home on 13th Street North on Wednesday night.
Firefighters found the body of Robert Scott Greaves, 33, inside the home. Reports indicate he died of blunt force trauma before the fire even started. Tonight, St. Petersburg police revealed that Greaves was killed with multiple blows from a hammer.
According to the arrest affidavit, a witness heard Greaves yelling for help inside Papaleo's home. When the witness approached the house to investigate, he saw Papaleo standing inside the house, breathing heavily. A few moments later, the witness was flames coming from the house.
Investigators have revealed that Greaves and a daughter of Daniel Thomas Papaleo's had a child together.

Mass flowmeters with wireless remote access at ISA
Process and plant engineers now have a more convenient, time-saving and lower cost way to communicate with flowmeters. The ST50 and ST75 Flowmeters from Fluid Components International (FCI) provide best-in-class measurement and value and are now available with an exclusive wireless communication option, and will be on display at ISA 2006 in Houston in October. Utilizing built-in wireless IR technology, the ST50 and ST75 flow meters and a standard, low cost PDA, field technicians can obtain measurements, make setting changes and read trouble-shooting codes without opening the instrument. This industry-unique feature is ideal for flow meters that are installed in hard-to-reach locations or where opening the instrument is labor intensive.
For more products on display at ISA 2006, look for Processing's in-depth ISA Expo Preview in the September 2006 issue.

Gov. Deval Patrick is unveiling a new electronic medical records system that will allows health care providers easier access to patient medical records.
The second phase of the health information exchange will let "health care providers for the first time to locate, request, and retrieve medical records from across the state on a secure, interconnected system," reported the Associated Press.
Patrick will show off the new system at an event at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston on Wednesday.
Massachusetts received $14 million from the Office of the National Coordinator and $20 million from Medicaid to fund Phase 1 of the project. The state is receiving another $21 million for Phase 2, according to the Boston Business Journal.
Health care leaders say electric medical records can help improve care while lowering costs.
Health systems and providers will need to subscribe to the exchange to take part. Large health systems will need to pay $30,000 per year and health care providers will be charged $60 per year. More than 70% of Bay State doctors currently use some form of electronic health records, according to the Boston Business Journal.

Comments about Clarks Women's Ryla Castle Pump:
At my age I look for shoes that are stylish and comfortable. The reviews on this shoe indicate that they run on the wide side. I decided to try them and was not disappointed. They fit just right and the low cut across the toe area made them feel even more comfortable. The wedge sole gives me stability and the heel height is perfect. I plan to also buy a brown pair. I have purchased Clark shoes before but this style is by far the most comfortable!

Public to get access to rare footage of bats near Taunton
Visitors to Hestercombe House near Taunton will soon be able to view unique footage of baby bats learning to fly. The Lesser Horseshoe Bats arrive to give birth in specially prepared quarters in full view of CCTV cameras. The Hestercombe Trust has now painstakingly pieced together the best bits for public consumption.
Hestercombe is home to nine of the country's 17 bat species. The Trust used CCTV cameras to film the bats without disturbing them and then as the bats came out into their night time feeding grounds their flight was captured by infra redcameras.
This rare footage shows baby bats hang upside down from their mother's shoulders. The footage also shows the adult bats returning from feeding and then greeting their young with what appears to be a prolonged kiss. It's believed to be a way of checking they are hooking up with the right pup before another long day spent hanging about under the rafters.
– Philip White, Chief Executive of Hestercombe Gardens Trust
The most extraordinary thing is the fact that the female bats hold their young, which are known as pups, actually in their mouths or at least off their shoulders to allow the baby bats to practice flying, which as far as we know this behaviour has never been recorded before.
It gave us an opportunity to show them to the public and educate the public in these beautiful and very rare animals."
The Trust has transformed the derelict and abandoned gardens and barns at Hestercombe to create a successful visitor attraction. But it also claims to have turned itself into a wildlife haven.
It has recently spent a £100,000 donated by the Heritage Lottery Fund and the waste company Viridor. The bats have special loevure vents fitted to attic spaces to allow them to flit in and out while a dam has been restored to create a lake swarming with insects.
– Rebecca Pow, Hestercombe Gardens Trust
"This is a really important valley for the bats. They come up from the main part of Hestercombe, sweep down across here at night time, and all the new work that's been done here to improve their habitat should provide them with more insect life, spiders midges, little beatles, insects flying across the lake here a perfect feeding bowl."

ALBANY, N.Y. – The price of milk is increasing, which is good for farmers, but not so good for consumers.
The United States Department of Agriculture said a rising domestic and foreign demand for dairy products will give dairy farmers an average $21.20 per hundredweight. That's not that much from last year's $20.01 price but its huge compared to the $12.83 they were getting in 2009. However, Steve Ammerman of the New York Farm Bureau said just because the farmers are recovering from the market crash in 2008 to 2009, that doesn't necessarily translate into consumer costs. Marie Tucker of Loudonville is a frequent milk buyer at Stewart's. She said she isn't afraid of a price increase because she needs her milk.
Locally, Ammerman said it's a good thing dairy is in demand because New York is the third largest dairy producing state in the US, which is good for the dairy farms and the entire rural economy.

Editor, Townsman:
As a former member of the Finance Committee, it is difficult for me not to say I told you so, but …
While the Board of Selectmen and town manager gave away the store in benefits in union contracts and continually failed to pay for them under the "watchful eyes" of the Finance Committee, the residents trusted that both boards had the taxpayers' best interest at heart. Alas, it wasn't so. As we discovered in the editorial: "Public pension shortfalls threaten municipal solvency," in the Aug. 25 Eagle-Tribune and Sept. 5 Townsman.
They approved municipal contracts negotiated in favor of the unions not only for larger wages, which result in larger pensions, but with increased benefits resulting in higher costs. For over 25 years, they and past members have failed to pay for the benefits they promised, leaving them to future taxpayers. They proposed budgets to Town Meeting without explaining the expenses you weren't funding or worse without the knowledge, understanding or foresight of simple compounding liabilities. The longer their individual tenure, the more ensconced they are in the process, the less receptive they are to fighting for change and the more of the blame they must shoulder. Their solution sounds like a first-grader, "every other town is doing it." But every town is not doing it. Andover is ranked 83 out of 105 pension systems. Most towns are doing better than Andover.
When a voice rises above the din to suggest a change or highlight a problem, it is quickly silenced. Dick Howe, before he resigned from the Finance Committee in 2011, presented an idea that all contracts be approved by or at least presented to Town Meeting before they were signed. He only received support from newer members and strong opposition by long-standing members of the committee. The idea never moved forward.
All the time spent by town boards on budgets over the last 25 years and a grade of "D" is the best they can achieve? They should all be embarrassed. In business, they would be forced to resign. Andover deserves better.

The Wings line up , hands down great design and buy . Regards MG2
I have the Cara Cara2 FRN Handle, and this little thing is incredibly impressive for its cost. I was going to give byrds to my more annoying relatives this Xmas, but after playing with them I've decided they are too nice for them, so socks it is!
This one, the Byrd Harrier. It was the first Byrd and, IMHO, is still the most elegant looking one. Midlock, smooth bolsters, gently contoured handle to show off the layers and weaves of the Micarta scales, all adds up to a very nice looking knife.
Funny part was, when I first saw it, I thought someone was copying the Spyderco Schempp Persian. Spyderco had not announced the Byrd line and there was nothing in the eBay listings to indicate it was made by a new division of Spyderco. "Reported" it on the BF Spyderco Forum an felt kind of dumb when they revealed that Byrd was a new venture of theirs. Naturally, once I knew that, I pulled the trigger on one.

I love my wings slip-it, but I rarely ever use it
I like the byrd Crow with the anodized aluminum handle.. that model have been discontinued..
This picture from Spyderco Photo Contest in facebook.
* superceded with a G-10 model. The G-10 model is easier to maintain perhaps but the alum. handle look prettier.

I'm saddened to say that I have a boatload of Spydies and zero Byrds. I need to rectify this soon...
Nice name - "Harrier".
I haven't held many Byrds. I do have a Byrd Wings, and I really like it, though it is a bit large. The shape of the PE blade is very similar to a stretch, I really like it. I do have a couple of their cheapest smallest Byrds i got on clearance (I thinks it was the Finch?) and was considering giving them as gifts, but wasn't as impressed with them.
Which Knife, A or B? get Both! (and C, D and E)
Here's an excerpt from Sal's post over on BF back in April of 2004 when he first announced the Byrd line and described the Harrier.His full post can be found here. For those interested in the history of the Byrd line, it might be worth reading.The first is the "byrd" model "Harrier" (from the low flying hawk). The model is fairly robust. about 3.5" blade length. The blade is a clip with fair belly. mid-lock-back, stainless bolsters, green micarta scales. The blade steel in this model is Aichi (Japanese) made AUS-6. Catra tests indicate proper AUS-6 edge retention to be consistent with our data. The lock broke well into the heavy duty range (100 inch/lbs per inch). MSRP is $39.95. All in all, not a bad start.

I like the Robin. Great liitle knife. I like the grip better than the similar dragonfly. A little beefier.
That's awesome Paul!
My personal fave is the G10 Hawkbill. A great user that filled a nice niche. Shame it was in the product line along with the Superhawk.
Nice to see the byrds get a subforum when I saw 5sub forum blocks load I knew the new one would be byrd

Mine is the Byrd Starling (now discontinued). My only Byrd knife.
Love it. Just wish it had an adjustable pivot. No up and down play with the lockback, but some sideways play.
The 8cr13mov sharpens great but does not hold an edge nearly as long as VG-10
Wow, Deacon! That Harrier is sweet!
My favourite Byrd is the Cara Cara 2. I've owned a few of 'em already but I can't seem to keep one in my stable. I know a couple of fellas who are police officers and I gifted my Cara Cara's to them. They love 'em, and no one is harder on their knives than coppers, I tells ya!

Man suffers life threatening injuries after fall from apartment
Updated 6:05pm Sunday 12th January 2014 in News By Andrew Bardsley, Reporter
A MAN is in a "life threatening" condition after falling from an apartment at The Rock in Bury this morning.
Police were called to the area at 6.30am to find the man, who is in his early 20s, at the base of the apartment block in Peruzzi House.
It was initially thought that he had suffered only minor injuries, however it was later discovered that he had broken his pelvis.
It is not known how far the man fell, and police they are still investigating the circumstances of the incident.
It is understood that the man was attending a party at the apartment block.
Police were at the scene for around eight hours.
A police spokesman said: "At about 6.30am police were called to the Rock in Bury to a report of a male who had been found at the base of the apartment block.
"An ambulance also attended and the male, who is in his early 20s, appeared to have received arm and hip injuries, and was taken away in an ambulance for treatment.
"Further examinations showed he has very serious bodily injuries which are life threatening.
"The circumstances around the male falling from the apartment are still under investigation, and a number of witnesses have been spoken to, and forensic work was completed by police."

A Hinds County supervisor wants to know who is footing the bill for the suspects arrested by Jackson police but being held at other county jails.
Supervisor Kenneth Stokes said JPD has been sending people who have been arrested to as many as five county jails since the destruction to Pod C at the Hinds County Detention Center in July.
Jackson police officials say the department does send some prisoners to other facilities but did not release which counties.
Stokes wants to know whose responsibility is it to pay those jails for holding the prisoners -- Hinds County or the city of Jackson?
"If, when we negotiated the contract to rebuild Pod C and we did not include these other counties; then if it's not too late to go back to the drawing board, we need to go back. You can't pay just Rankin and Madison Counties but yet you leave out Yazoo County and other counties," Stokes said.
Stokes said he will bring up his concerns at Monday's board of supervisors meeting.

Techsmart, from BMI Supply, made an impressive debut at LDI in Orlando by offering designers detailed info on thousands of products online.
According to ESTA's "How Customers Specify…" research, the Internet is the overwhelming preferred source for finding product information, but end–users are continually frustrated with the lack of complete, easy–to–find data.
Techsmart aims to end that frustrations by providing pictures, descriptions, cut sheets, videos, manuals, MSDS, and technical data for thousands of products from over 100 manufacturers all in one convenient spot, available at your fingertips anywhere and anytime by just going to techsmart.bmisupply.com.
"We realize just how valuable our customers' time is," says BMI sales manager Steve Roudebush. "Getting quick answers to simple questions shouldn't be difficult."
In addition to standardizing product data, Techsmart also enables end users to easily request quotes and place orders online. "With everything that needs to be done for a successful show," Roudebush continues, "the last thing that should bog you down is finding, ordering, and receiving the right supplies and equipment for your show."
Techsmart will augment traditional communication and ordering channels. "Many technical directors, master electricians, or purchasing agents have a preferred ordering method. We're always aiming to serve our customers' needs in their favorite fashion," says BMI Supply president Robert Barber. Techsmart will also feature a live chat interface, scheduled to launch by January 1, 2006.
Techsmart can be accessed directly at techsmart.bmisupply.com or via bmisupply.com.

Sporting Kansas City Academy
The Sporting Kansas City Academy Youth Development Program has experienced a highly successful history since being formed in 2007. The program currently consists of four teams: the U12s, U14s, U16s and U18s.
The U16 and U18 teams play in the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. U.S. Soccer created the USSDA in 2007 to improve the everyday environment for the elite youth player. The USSDA is a partnership between U.S. Soccer and the top youth clubs around the country to provide the best youth players in the U.S. with an everyday environment designed to produce the next generation of National Team players. The Academy also connects National Team coaches directly with the Academy clubs to develop and identify players and coaches for future Youth National Teams. In 2011, our U16 team qualified for the USSDA playoffs in Frisco, TX. See the USSDA tab for more information.
The U12 and U14 teams play in the newly formed Midwest Regional League (MRL) Pro Youth Affiliates Division, which is an innovative competition platform within the MRLfeaturing teams from Major League Soccer youth clubs and their affiliate premier youth soccer clubs from throughout the Midwest. The three participating MLS Clubs are Chicago Fire, Columbus Crew, & Sporting Kansas City. Sporting KC Affiliate Clubs participating include Sporting Kaw Valley, Sporting Blue Valley, Sporting St. Louis Rangers, Sporting Lincoln FC, Sporting Columbia SC & Omaha FC. Visit the MRL website for more information.
The U14 team also participates in the US Youth Soccer National League. US Youth Soccer National League competition is for the nation's top teams in the U14- U18 boys and girls age groups under the USYS umbrella. National League teams continue play in their respective US Youth Soccer Regional Leagues and State Championships to complete their competitive calendar. Teams play a seven-game schedule over two weekends with the top two teams from each division advance to the USYS National Championships. Visit the NL website for more information.
SKC academy players have the opportunity to eventually join the Sporting Kansas City first team without going through the MLS draft process. In late 2006, Major League Soccer announced an initiative that created a "Home Grown Protected List" for each team. Clubs now have the opportunity to retain the professional rights of players developed within its youth academy. Sporting immediately began investing significant resources in the identification and development of young players from the region.
The Sporting KC Academy has produced three players that were signed to the Sporting Kansas City Professional Team. Goalkeeper Jon Kempin signed in August 2010, Defender Kevin Ellis signed in February 2011, & Defender Erik Palmer-Brown signed in July 2013.
Several Sporting KC Academy players also continue to make college commitments for top soccer schools across the country, including Creighton, St. Louis University, Duke, Southern Methodist University, Ohio State, Virginia Tech and many more.
The academy program is fully funded, meaning the academy covers all costs for gear and traveling expenses. All home games are played at the teams' Sporting Club Training Center in Swope Park. Sporting Kansas City and the SKC Academy also offer youth camps throughout the calendar year.

It seems like a lot of parents don't enforce the rule that new drivers can't drive other kids in the car for the first year they are driving. This makes is harder on the parents who want to keep all kids safe. What's up with the parents who don't enforce this rule? It also doesn't seem like the police are doing anything about this either. If a few kids were given tickets and community service for violating this rule, other kids would hear about it and take the rule more seriously.
on May 16, 2011 at 8:39 am
I'm a parent of a new teen driver, and I can tell you I am VERY strict about my child not having anyone else in the car. It seems the kids of parents who aren't strict get away with it. Here I am, always telling my child NO PASSENGERS, and look what happened-- my child was still getting a handle on driving our manual transmission car, and squealed the tires proceeding from a stop sign. No big deal, except-- the child was taking a sick friend home (she felt sorry for her), AND a police officer was right behind them when the tires squealed. Busted! Now we have to go to traffic court and likely pay a hefty fine. Needless to say, the child lost all driving priviledges for awhile.
Having said all that, I really do like the laws about provisional licenses. They save lives.
on May 16, 2011 at 9:13 am
Thanks for at least doing the right thing about your child. I think that any kid caught by the police breaking that law should have their license revoked for a minimum of one year. A very large fine should also be assessed -- on the parents.

The shooting at Los Angeles International Airport Friday morning has caused a big headache for the Hawaii Warriors football team. Hawaii is still stuck in Los Angles and the incident at the airport was not the only hold up. The charter plane that was to carry the team was rerouted to Arizona for most of the day, and Norm Chow says that the team may not be able to leave until 10 p.m. PT, at the earliest.
The team is to fly into Ogden, Utah, and that is still at least an hour drive to Utah State and may not arrive until 2 a.m. MT on Saturday, and kickoff would be 12 hours from then.
With the delay there has been talk of delaying or even postponing the game, however Utah State associate athletic director Doug Hoffman says there are no alternate plans being discussed at this time:
"All indications are that they (the Rainbow Warriors) will get into Logan, Utah, tonight, it is just a matter of when."
"With that being said, there are really no alternative plans in place right now," he said. "We're expecting Hawaii to get in tonight and (the game) to start at its original time."
While Hoffman is not working on alternate arrangements, Mountain West officials have been in discussions to find alternate ways to play the game. With the game on CBS Sports Network that also complicates delaying the game since the network is to broadcast Boise State vs. Colorado State directly after at 8 p.m. ET.
There also was an idea floating of Hawaii to bus it from Los Angeles to Logan, but that is not feasible unless the game was pushed back because that bus ride would take about 14 hours.

text: Next week the members from the House and Senate will meet to begin negotiations on a new farm bill. Negotiations will be done by special farm bill conference committees hand picked by both legislative bodies. Randy Neugebauer a congressman who represents Texas's 19th district has been selected by House Speaker John Boehner to part of the negotiations. Disputes over what the trillion dollar future farm bill should include began earlier this year when both the House and the Senate proposed separate farm bills with vastly different budgets. The Senates proposal would cut about 4 billion dollars, while the congressional proposal cuts around 39 billion dollars. Neugebauer said that bigger and broader crop insurance will be one of the key issues he will be pushing for during the negotiations. "So when mother nature is not cooperative with you it's important to have an insurance product in there, an insurance program that protects producers." Kenneth McAlister, a Texoma farmer, agrees with Neugebauer's proposal. "We're a wheat and cotton rotation type deal. We're getting into some specialty crops, but there's a lot of specialty crops not insurable yet. It's a deal where were going to have to prove we can grow them. But we need to be able to get the on ability to ensure." Right now crop insurance makes up only about ten percent of the farm bill. The conference committees are scheduled to meet next Monday October 28th.

We know who one MOST WANTED suspect is. Valerie Austin, 27, and another woman are wanted for questioning by Pearl police. According to detectives, the pair entered the Wal-Mart in Pearl September 24.
They were cruising for high dollar electronics. Of course they found exactly what they were looking for. A $600 dollar HP desktop PC, a Phillips 40-inch TV valued at over $400 dollars and a Samsung 40-inch TV priced at nearly $600. The buggy was weighted down with stolen goods. They walked out of the store without looking back.
Austin and her accused partner in crime are on the run and haven't been spotted since the crime. Valerie Austin was driving a Chevy Malibu. Her buddy has not been identified. She was wearing white tights and a multi-colored tank top. Clues led Pearl detectives to Newport Street in Jackson. Help put a stop to these expensive crimes and turn the pair in to authorities. Call Pearl Police at 601-939-7000.
Ridgeland Detectives says another chatty MOST WANTED person was captured on surveillance video. The man appears to be about 25 to 35 years old, according to Ridgeland cops. Police say this unidentified guy ripped of a cell phone and is wanted for grand larceny. If you recognize him call Ridgeland police at 601-856-2121.

RHEA COUNTY, TN (WRCB) -- Three people are dead after the car they were in crashes into a large brick mailbox. It happened Sunday afternoon on Back Valley Road in Dayton.
"They moved that mailbox from one side of the driveway all the way to the other," says Ralph Higgins.
Just after 1:30 Sunday afternoon, Tennessee Highway Patrol says 23-year-old Michael Crawley was driving south on Back Valley Road in a '99 4-door Chevy car.
Skid marks show where he lost control, slamming into this brick mailbox.
"It weighs about 3,000 pounds," says Higgins.
Higgins knows because he built the mailbox.
"It was broadsided when he hit it. According to the look of the car."
Also in the car, 17-year-old Christopher Johnson, 3-year-old Logan Crawley and 8-month-old Cayden Crawley.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol says a bystander removed Cayden from the car, still in his car seat. He was airlifted to Erlanger.
"The other three in the car, they were already dead. They was just waiting for the jaws of life to cut them out," says Higgins.
Higgins goes on to say, "It's kind of a windy road but right through here it's a stretch."
That is when Higgins says people are tempted to speed.
The crash report says speed was a factor in the accident.
"We've sat on the front porch up there and they come through here. We've hollered at them sometimes to slow down but I don't what the speed limit's through here. I think it's 30, 35, maybe."
State troopers say it is posted as 45 but sharp curves are marked 15 mph.
Higgins says his heart goes out to the victim's families.
"And I just hate it for the family. I wish them my best condolences and everything, and you know, maybe it won't happen to somebody else," says Higgins.
He says it will be hard to forget what he saw.
"Water don't wash this away. It's gonna be, the thought will be forever, you know?"
We contacted Erlanger to check on the condition of 8-month-old Cayden Crawley, but have not heard back.
As part of the investigation, the driver is being tested to see if drugs or alcohol were in his system but according to the accident report, right now speed appears to be the main factor.

Curses! John Madden strikes again
[size=13pt]Curses! John Madden strikes again[/size]
By Evan harris, Indiana Daily Student
Thursday, September 28, 2006
Maybe it's the world we live in, but it's a little twisted to get more phone calls about Shaun Alexander's broken foot from my friends than phone calls on Rosh Hashanah from my family. Either way, you can forget about sanctimonious holidays for a second -- the supernatural was at work this week.
Alexander's broken foot validated something analyst John Madden couldn't conceptualize with a nifty sports jacket and a telestrator (the device he uses to superimpose his light-penned diagrams on video camera footage) -- the Madden Curse.
If you are a Boston Red Sox fan, you know about curses. If you are a Chicago Cubs fan, sorry, buddy, you're living in one. Ditto for Cleveland Indians fans. And Philadelphia sports fans? I don't know what's worse: being a Phillies fan or contracting a venereal disease from an 80-year-old woman at a gas station in Gary.
Sorry to play Insensitive Ira, but the only curse I care about is the Madden Curse. Since the 2001 version of EA Sport's famed football video game series, the athlete that dons the cover of video gaming's most lucrative franchise has been subject to misfortune.
Alright, it's pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things. But for college males, it holds some significance. The love affair with "Madden" is like that episode of "South Park" when senseless organizations steal the boys' game console to get them involved in a military conspiracy. And in the end, all they want to do is play video games with their stoned-out talking towel. That's like college life. Ask someone what the capital of North Korea is (anybody, off-hand?). Then ask what LaDanian Tomlinson is rated in "Madden NFL 07" (he's a 97, by the way).
But curses are curses, and "Madden" has a cultural significance and a following that rivals any sports team, except it never lets you down.
Nothing has a more sustainable popularity with college kids than "John Madden Football." The senseless commentary by the big man just accentuates his popularity. Though, one would be ready to swallow a cyanide tablet after cruising with Madden and partner Al Michaels on his cross-country bus. You'd be counting how many times Madden and Michaels could use "boom" and "miracle," respectively, in the trip.
But supernatural forces might have possessed this sweet-ass game.
Former Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George juggled a pass into the arms of Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis in the AFC Divisional playoffs the year he inherited the cover for "Madden NFL 2001." He also ran for a career-low three yards per carry that year. For "Madden NFL 2002," then-Minnesota Vikings quarterback Daunte Culpepper wore his purple and yellow on the cover. He later had season-ending knee surgery after starting off the 2001-02 campaign 4-7.
"Madden NFL 2003" highlighted St. Louis Rams running back Marshall Faulk, who spent the year on the cover while battling injury. He didn't break 1,000 yards for the rest of his career. In fact, he never played another full season in the NFL. For "Madden NFL 2004," Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick suffered a fractured right fibula in a preseason game the day after his picture was released on the cover.
The next year, "Madden NFL 2005" featured Lewis, who was kept out of the last game of the regular season due to injury. It was also Lewis' first season without a single interception and in week six the following year, his season ended early because of injury. "Madden NFL 06" flaunted Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb on the cover. He developed a sports hernia in the first game of the season and played with pain until the 10th game, when he was knocked out for the season.
And now we are in the present day where Alexander is added to the list of "Madden victims," which leaves me with a question to all of you: Do you believe in the curse? Do you even care? If you don't have a Y-chromosome, most likely not.
But John Madden is like EA Sports' sugar daddy, and though video games seem trivial, it fashioned a culture. When this college way of life has some direct correlation with professional athletics, one begins to wonder.
With all the superstition and curses floating around the sports world, nothing seems more tangible and afflictive than the Madden Curse.

Re: Curses! John Madden strikes again
Somebitch thats right... I forgot all about that.. All I can say is, that they better not even think about putting a Viking on the cover next season.. If they do, make sure it is the waterboy or something..

North Carolina Central University police have identified the man shot and killed by campus police Monday night.
Police identified the man as Tracy Daquan Bost, of Charlotte.
On Monday, the university locked down its campus while Durham and NCCU police searched for a gunman near campus.
Chief of NCCU Police Tim Bellamy said that the suspect was involved
in a breaking and entering at a nearby residence where "numerous
handguns" were stolen, among other items. An armed robbery involving the
same suspect was then reported shortly after the breaking and entering.
After receiving a description of the suspects, an unarmed campus security officer observed a suspect
matching the description and having some of the property taken during burglary
and robbery.
"Three of our officers got
together and responded to the scene near Lincoln and Cecil Street," Bellamy said. "At that time,
they approached on foot and challenged the suspect. They gave all the legal
commands that they are trained to do in a tactical manner."
Bellamy added, "The suspect turned toward
our officers, at which time he produced a shotgun, racked the chamber -- which
means put one inside the chamber -- fired the weapon toward our officers."
A second exchange of gunfire took place and the suspect was shot and
killed by the officers near Cecil Street and Lincoln Street just off
The suspect was pronounced dead at the scene.
The three officers involved in the incident have been placed on paid administrative leave. The State Bureau of Investigation is handling the investigation.
