Let me first start off this review saying that i am a fan of Coors banquet beer in relativity to other "big domestics". That being said, i am not a fan of their blue moon products. Especially this particular ale.
Appearance- Poured from a bottle, it presented a pale color with a thin soapy head that dissipated almost instantly. Heavily carbonated with little head was the first red flag..
Smell- Stale. Overwhelming notes of barley and malt. Miniscule notes of "orange and lemon" as advertised.
Taste- Sour. Malty with an artificially citrusy aftertaste. Bearable, but not enjoyable.
Mouthfeel- Could barely feel my mouth due to excessive carbonation. I felt like i was drinking a talking rain tainted with malt liquor.

12oz bottle poured into a New Belgium globe glass
It pours a nearly clear almost light amber color, white head, minimal lacing and not lasting head. Just a unappealing wheat beer.
Aroma of very faint wheat and some citrus. That's about it. Its a very faint aroma.
The taste just is even more boring. The citrus goes away and you are left with a wheat flavored beginning and then finishes oddly crisp like a light lager. It's even more boring than regular Blue Moon.
I handed this to my wife blindly and her evaluation was 'It tastes like wheat and Coors light.' I could not have said it better myself

12oz brown bottle with a freshness date.
Thin lacing with a golden filtered clarity. Forced orange and lemon nose on a thin graininess. Crisp, easy to get to as the body is pretty thin. Orange and lemon water with an addition of grain, seriously ... it tastes like a glass of cold carbonated water that a fresh wedge of orange and lemon where put in a few hours ago. The grain is too thin to really call out. Hops, sure something could be there but the beer does not even need to be balanced ... not much to take care of. Dry finish with some citric remains.
Weak sauce ... I expected a bit more out of this one. Not much to it at all and the addition of citrus fails IMO. They would have been better off sticking to their Rising Moon Spring Ale and simply tweaking as I said.

The beer pours a yellow to orange color with a white head. The aroma is a mix of grain and wheat with not too much else going on. The flavor is more of the same, with a little bit of grain and orange citrus going on. I also get some other citrus but it is fairly faint. Medium mouthfeeel and medium carbonation.

Pours out a lighter and more clarity kind of liquid than would be expected using wheat. Might be less than 50% of the malt bill. Less than impressive head retention, it started out about 1" deep, but where it went, nobody knows. Put it at that mildly dark golden color.
Aroma had a little of the kafir lime thought playing in my head, they used the same color label, mind playin' tricks on me. Either way, citrus is welcome, even if not necessarily 'good'.
Taste, meh. Weird bitterness, lack of wheat flavor or texture. Jeez, could they overdo the carbonation a little harder on this one? Explosive (insert dre drums). MIld caramel mouthfeel if you can get past the club soda tendencies in this one. Still has that tart lime thing going along with a bit of mineral water bitterness.
They really went after a blonde ale, dropped a smidge of wheat, dropped a ton of carbonation, maybe a lime wedge. That's this beer.
I respectfully dissent.

Appears bright clear golden body with a bright white head, forms thin speckled lacing scattered around the sides of my glass. Aroma has some sharp wheat notes with hints of sweet fruit notes. A touch of citrus peels and grassiness going on as well. Flavor hits with a marshmallow like cremay sweetness with hints of citrus peel bitterness in the finish, seems like a wheat infused cream ale really. Mouthfeel is light bodied, carbonation is moderate, overall drinkability isn't anything to write home about. It's actually hard to drink more so than any golden beer should ever be.

12 oz bottle served cold in a snifter.
Pours a clear golden-amber color with a small off-white head that soon reduces to a lasting ring.
The aroma is weak: wheat, hops and some faint malt in the background. More flavor than aroma. In addition to the components detected by nose, there is a light citrus/lemon quality and a grassy note. T = 2.75
M: light body; nicely dry finish; good, medium carbonation.
O: highly drinkable alternative to a light beer. Certainly works as an accompaniment to yard work and summer weather. Not much flavor or aroma here, but no striking flaws in this refreshing brew.

Poured a pale straw color with little head on it. Smell is faint wheat and malt. Taste is average - kinda weak. Not a lot of wheat taste. Tastes cheap. Very light bodied. Not a bad tasting beer just nothing to it. Not worth the price at all. I will not be buying this again.

Sort of a pale to medium gold color, this beer does shine brightly though it shows a potential thinness beyond simply being light in body. There's lots of bubbling carbonation rising from the bottom, and it's needed as a foamy head struggles to surface. It does, though, and holds its own better than I'd think. Some reasonably decent spotting is also managed.
The aroma is very light, offering pale malts with some light citrus zest and sweetness both of orange and lemon. There's a hint of rind in there, though I get more the impression of watered-down juice mixed into dusty malts. I've smelled worse in a Blonde; more than anything, it's simply weak.
In the flavor, the weakness comes out to more ill effect than the aroma. It ultimately ends up making this beer taste more like a lightly flavored seltzer water than anything. Dusty malts actually go a touch astringent, it's got some corn husk, and it just goes way too thin and lacking in flavor.
It feels like seltzer water, too, and the best I can say is that at least it's crisp. Even that tingle falls off in the end.

3.08/5 rDev +9.6%
A - dark golden yellow; soft, white head; quickly fades to a thin lacing
S - grainy, a hint of metal
T - grainy up front with an odd finish that offers a flash of citrus that disappears as fast as it comes on; a hint of apples; very faint grass
M - light bodied, smooth, a bit crisp
This is a rather poor offering from the Blue Moon line. It's one dimensional and offers little besides grains. Avoid.

Appearance: Basically a lighter version of Blue Moon Belgian White.
Smell: Definitely some cloves, but more lemony than regular Blue Moon. Some faint hops as well. Not an overwhelming smell, but refreshing. Kind of soapy.
Taste/Mouthfeel: Maybe a bit too bitter for my taste. Mostly lemon with a floral aftertaste that's not my favorite. A bit too artificial. However there is a candied flavor that I like. Everything balances out to a solid flavor combination, but not amazing. Mouthfeel is a bit flat, but the crispness is nice.
Drinkability: The flavor is the main component that stands out and gives this its drinkability:
Overall: Hit or miss.

Flood alert for Borehamwood lifted
12:25pm Tuesday 27th November 2012 in News By Bruce Thain
The Environment Agency has lifted a flood alert for Borehamwood area.
The alert had been issued following heavy rain during the weekend and warned of possible flooding of the Upper River Colne and Radlett Brook, which could have affected Borehamwood and Radlett.
The area has been hit with constant rainfall fall for a number of days with Allum Lane, in Elstree, partially flooded and cars having to drive slowly through the water.
In a statement on the website the Environment Agency said river levels had peaked on Sunday morning and fallen back, but could rise again if there is further rain.

The Philadelphia Phillies just can't seem to get all the way over their injury problems. They're doing better now than they were earlier on, but on Thursday, they've been delivered just their latest bit of bad news. Jim Salisbury:
Contreras officially on DL. Juan perez called up
Contreras will out four to six weeks, Phils say.
Reliever Jose Contreras came up with a forearm strain over the weekend, and won't be good to go now for at least a month. This is Contreras' second visit to the disabled list on the season, as earlier he missed time with an elbow injury. He threw a total of just six innings between DL stints, albeit over the span of four weeks.
With Ryan Madson excelling as the closer and Antonio Bastardo pitching his ass off, the Phillies' bullpen isn't in desperate need of help, but given the unreliability and injury problems of Contreras and Brad Lidge, one can expect the front office to poke around for reinforcements. Insurance is never a bad idea for a probable playoff team to have.
Juan Perez is a 32-year-old lefty with 41 strikeouts and 21 walks this season with triple-A Lehigh Valley.

i`ve been using an e72 with the original 4gb microsd onto which i have installed apps and content and now i want to install a 16gb one. is it possible to transfer ALL content from one card to another so to avoid reinstalling the apps? i am afraid that symbian will deny me this possibility.
my intuition is that i can copy all the files, including the hidden ones in my laptop and the transfer them onto the new microsd card. will that work?
thank you.

Neither Manchester club has shown consistent form this season and both teams appear to be jostling for position ahead of an impending New Year sprint. That suggests United and City may both take a cautious approach. Sir Alex suggested as much in his programme notes on Wednesday: "We need to come out unscathed and, with so much at stake, I wonder if there will be a little bit of caution from both clubs. Roberto [Mancini] and I both have to think deeply about our selections and tactics and there may be an element of playing safe."
That could be a ruse on Sir Alex's part, of course, setting up classic counter-attack, but some Reds would happily settle for a draw right now. In truth, I wouldn't be completely disappointed with that outcome but I'd much prefer that United draw having really gone for it and played attacking, positive football rather than watch two teams stifle and suffocate each other.
Sir Alex and Mancini have both experimented with formations this season, including United's use of a midfield diamond in an adapted 4-3-3 formation. With injuries to consider, Sir Alex's team selection and set-up isn't straightforward or immediately obvious. The 4-3-3 isn't everyone's cup of tea; it's always been United's style to unleash rampaging wingers intent on swashbuckling counterattacks, yet dominating central areas is vital against City.
The back four should pick itself – Rafael, Ferdinand, Evans, Evra – while the goalkeeper spot is the main talking point defensively. Further up the field, Michael Carrick, Wayne Rooney and Robin van Persie are the spine of the team; all definite starters for me. Paul Scholes will be the

Trevor McDonald to explore Mafia
10:18am Thursday 17th July 2014 in National Entertainment News © Press Association 2014
Sir Trevor McDonald is set to take on the Mafia in a new ITV documentary.
The veteran broadcaster wants to show viewers the "reality" and not the "mythology" of the Mob in the show.
Trevor will look at the day-to-day lives of men within the secret crime organisation as well as undercover law enforcement figures, the Radio Times reported.
The former newsreader will visit New York, Miami, Philadelphia and Southern California in The Mafia With Trevor McDonald, which is set to air in the autumn.
He will go to the homes, work places, bars and restaurants where the US Mafia hang out, as well as the streets where they have carried out their violence.
ITV's Jo Clinton-Davis, who commissioned the documentary, said: "Trevor's journey into this shocking but compelling world, populated by larger than life characters and even larger than life stories will unravel the mythology of the Mob to offer a unique and revealing insight into its reality."

Vowels followed by M or N are usually nasal, except when the nasal consonant is followed by another vowel, in which case the vowel and consonant are both voiced. For example:
un nasal

It may help you to know that there are nasal vowels in English, even though they are a bit different than French nasal vowels. In English, the nasal consonant (M or N) is pronounced and thus nasalizes the vowel that precedes it, whereas in French the vowel is nasal and the consonant is not pronounced. Compare the following:

Skin Defense Complex Bombarded by billions of free radicals every day, our cells are under attack at even the deepest levels of the skin. The result is the breakdown of the cell structure and the unwanted effects of the appearance of fine wrinkles, loss of elasticity and moisture content of the skin.
Astavita Skin Defense Complex, a proprietary formula first developed and used in Japan as internal nutritional support for skin health, is designed to protect skin from free radicals and includes AstaREAL™ astaxanthin as well as tocotrienol.
AstaREAL™ - a superior astaxanthin harvested from Haematococcus pluvialis, the plant species with the highest concentration of astaxanthin in the world and backed by research indicating its ability to help protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.
Antioxidants and Free Radicals Free radicals are the by products of UV radiation, cigarette smoke, air pollution, and even stress. Once free radicals are generated inside the body, they can damage healthy skin cells. Antioxidants are the best DEFENSE against these free radicals as they boost the body's ability to fight them and prevent their damage.
Astaxanthin- a Superior Antioxidant for Beautiful Healthy Skin Astaxanthin is an all natural carotenoid pigment found in microalgea that has exceptional antioxidant power. The pigment, a rich deep shade of red/orange, is what protects the microalgea when they are exposed to UV radiation and allows them to SURVIVE even in the harshest conditions.
Astaxanthin has been shown to have the unique ability to span through the double layer of a cell membrane. This means it works to protect the skin cells better than other antioxidant, because it can protect the cell both inside and out.
Now what does this all mean? The cell is like an Oreo cookie, it has two lipid layers (the cookie) separated by a center (the cream). Popular antioxidants such as beta-carotene (fat loving) and vitamin c (water loving) work separately inside the cream and on the outside (cookie) layers. Astaxanthin's unique structure, being fat soluble with polar (water loving) ends, it fastens itself vertically through ALL THREE layers, giving the cell better protection inside and out.
Tocotrienol - a Powerful Lipid Soluble AntioxidantTocotrienol is a member of the vitamin E family, but its unique chemical structure makes it up to 60 times stronger than tocopherol.* It is a powerful antioxidant with a superior ability to QUENCH and scavenge free radicals.
A Smart Approach To Healthy SkinSmart people know that healthy looking skin is the result of the right nutrition and proper care. Astavita Skin Defense Complex is for people who want to help protect the natural beauty of their skin. Prevent the damage while you repair it.

As of Wednesday, folks in Dubuque can now throw food scraps directly in with their yard waste.
It's part of a new effort by the city to keep compostable materials out of the landfill and find a useful purpose for them. It's Dubuque's latest step toward sustainability.
The future looks like a mess, and - in this case - that's a good thing. Wednesday morning the city gathered messy food scraps from Eleanor Roosevelt Middle School and took them to a new facility in Dubuque County called Midwest Organic Solutions. It's just off US Highway 20, between Epworth and Farley.
The company will compost the scraps and yard waste and sell the compost to anyone interested in using it in their garden or fields.
Dave Hermsen is the founder and owner of Midwest Organic Solutions, which operates under the larger Full Circle Organics Cooperative.
"It's actually a natural resource, when you look at it and go through the process of composting," Hermsen said of the compostable materials, also known as source separated organics. "When it goes back to the soil and creates a better biological environment in the soils, it's a win-win situation."
It's a win that keeps these reusable, compostable source separated organics out of the Dubuque area landfill.
"Probably about 14 percent of the landfill is food scraps," Dubuque's resource management coordinator Paul Schultz said. "That's 14,000 tons per year," considering the landfill sees some 100,000 tons of material annually.
He said compostable paper products bring that number of reusable materials that go into the landfill up to 22,000 tons per year, nearly a quarter of the landfill's annual load.
"We've been collecting food scraps for the last seven years, but we've been limited to two tons per week," Schultz said. "This new facility has the capability of doing 39 tons per day."
People in Dubuque can collect their food scraps throughout the week and put it directly in with yard waste or use compostable bags. The city also has specific food scrap bins available.
"It's really no different than what we've done with plastics and cans and cardboard," Hermsen said. "It really makes no sense to be burying all these items."
Hermsen said the food and yard waste brought in Wednesday should be ready for sale as compost in about three months.
The Dubuque City Council approved the contract between the city and Full Circle Organics at its regular Monday meeting.
"City collection customers may either subscribe to dedicated food scrap collection carts (13, 48, or 64 gallons) for an additional fee or place food scraps and compostable paper in with grass clippings, leaves, and other yard debris in their current yard waste cans, carts, and bags," a release from the city about the new program said.
"This City service expansion enables more citizens to help our community achieve its sustainability goals, usually for no additional cost, through increased diversion from landfill disposal, beneficial use of compostable paper and food scraps, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions," Schultz said in the release.
People interested in more information and tips on food scrap recycling can visit www.cityofdubuque.org/foodscraps or call Dubuque's Public Works Department at 563-589-4250.

Eschewing the usual hand rubs, this new treatment uses old teak wood as a massage tool to knead and roll the muscles for deep-tissue penetration.Working with different sizes of old teak for various body parts, it maximises the restoration effects of the wood's natural oil and silica on the body's electromagnetic field and meridian system. A specialty oil rich in vitamins A, C, D and E is applied, stimulating a detoxification process to improve the skin tone.

Merdeka 2014 ads to watch
Fri Aug 29
We celebrate 57 years of independence on Sunday, and it wouldn't be Merdeka without local corporate giants rolling out tear-inducing ads. Here are four of our favourites 'Malaysia. We are Family' by DigiWe might take it for granted, but there's something incredibly touching about the way we Malaysians hail each other as family members. The folks behind this heart-warming Digi ad thought so too (and they weren't the only ones, as you'll see in a minute). We follow a social experiment in which a man calls total strangers names like 'auntie', 'macha', 'anne', 'bro' and 'adik' to see if they respond. 'It's okay. We're Family' by MaxisYeah, we noticed it too: Maxis and Digi put out Merdeka ads with the exact same theme. This time we follow Tim Sharp, an expat living in KL, as he realises that total strangers are calling him 'brother', and tries out the custom for himself – with some hilarious results. 'Great families think alike,' says...
Now open (for dinner): Sitka
Fri Aug 29
Sitka, one of 2014's most promising restaurants, is now serving dinner. Led by Christian Recomio, the 'test' kitchen is producing exciting things on the weekends using produce that is painstakingly sourced from local highlands and waters. While Sitka's brunch side of things features more familiar items like lobster rolls and chickpea salads, dinnertime is serious playtime for Christian. Pick from a limited selection of starters, mains and desserts but if we could gently nudge you towards the right direction, you'd want to start with the seasonal English classic: mackerel served with gooseberries, made elegant with an accompanying quenelle of smoked almond puree cut with housemade crème fraiche. That is, if you haven't already filled yourself with complimentary breads, served with an unbearably light cloud of whipped beef fat butter. Meanwhile, the hay ash-smoked beef is an up on beef tartare, and comes with pickled yolk in an eggshell bowl plated on a nest of hay (a...
11 things that make us Malaysian
Fri Aug 29
Happy 57th, Malaysia! 1. We eat round the clockHobbits have elevenses, while we have... no sense of time. Kopi at ten, rojak at four, dim sum at nine, roti canai at three (in the morning). For Malaysians, any time is dinner time. Eating is a national sport; we get all the practice we can. Just look at the 24-hour mamaks. 2. We make family trees like no otherWe actually got the same idea before watching the Merdeka ads from two major telcos (good job guys, we love those ads!). Whether we're calling strangers aunty, uncle, abang, kak, bro, adik, or macha, this everyone-is-family phenomenon is what makes us feel at home. 3. Our English teachers hate usAs we butcher the English language to suit our purposes (gostan, anyone?), the exclusive Manglish vocabulary is a testament to our linguistic talents as a nation. Cuba try? 4. For Asia's most obese nation, we sure are obsessed with watching sports If there's one man who can bring unity to the nation, it's Dato' Lee Chong Wei (although...
Updated: Uber KL is illegal, say reports; Uber releases official statement

Good Vibes Festival 2014: Things to bring
Thu Aug 21
Your guide on what to bring (and what not to bring) to survive the sun, sweat and rain We've been seeing a fair amount of festivals in Sepang so surely we all know the drill when it comes to festival getup: Light, airy and comfy with no heels or leather jackets. But just in case you need reminding, here are some things you should pack or leave at home for the best festival experience: Ticket Perhaps the most important item on this list. Cash There won't be any ATMs at the venue, so bring enough cash to buy food, drinks and some cool band/festival merchandise. If you plan to shop at the bazaar, bring more cash but remember to keep it secure (but maybe not in a fanny pack?). Hand sanitiser or wet wipes Must we remind you again? This doesn't need explaining. You need hand sanitiser. They come in small bottles that can fit in your pocket. Bring it. Another (slightly less masculine) option would be wet wipes. And tissue. Sunglasses and sunblock If you're rocking up at 3.30pm when the...

Shu Ruei brings 'Fruit in Kind' installation to Art for Grabs this weekend
Tue Aug 19
Malaysian artist Shu Ruei has spearheaded a rather wicked community art project involving fruit. In collaboration with the Women's Aid Organisation, she will be collecting fruit from the public at this weekend's Art for Grabs and creating art out of the yield. After the project, the fruit will be donated to charities of the artist's choice. To do your part, simply visit the Fruit in Kind installation booth at the festival this weekend with your share of fruit. If you want to donate in bulk, make an appointment with Shu Ruei for a collection date prior to the festival; if you'd rather donate money instead, Shu Ruei will use it to purchase fruit from the Pudu Market towards the cause of the project. To find out what happens to your fruit after the project, and who receives your supply, follow the Fruit in Kind blog. Visit Art for Grabs Latest blog posts

Fuad and co may be giving up a traditional live set in favour of going behind the decks, but a Grease-themed 1950s dance party with Kyoto Protocol at the helm - in the middle of a music festival - sounds just crazy enough to be worthwhile.

Good Vibes Festival 2014: Set times
Mon Aug 18
With just a few more days to go to Good Vibes Festival, organisers Future Sound Asia have finally released the festival schedule. This time you don't have to worry about any major set clashes for the headlining acts (unlike last year's problematic Japandroids-Modest Mouse dilemma), although a little bit of running between stages is necessary – as with all festivals. Besides the anticipated performance by English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding (who closes the show at the Red Stage), Banks is also one to look out for. The electronic, trip hop and R&B artist will bring the alluring sounds of 'Waiting Game' and 'Brains' to the Blue Stage at 8pm. Also, get excited for what's bound to be a highly flamboyant performance by Empire of the Sun at 9pm (Red Stage) followed by !!! (Chk Chk Chk) at 10pm (Blue Stage).This year, Good Vibes also brings back the Silent Discotek tent, in which two DJs will feed separate streams of music into wireless headphones available to the audience.

2.3/5 rDev -43.5%
Bottle courtesy of johndoe8. Served in a mini snifter. Pours a clear, still golden color with no head or lacing. Nose has a bit of acetone along with some lactic acidity. A bit of a stone fruit character in the background, though not all that much. Still with a strange acidity; not my favorite, though not a terrible first effort. I'd like to see if they can develop a program and improve on this.

375 ml bottle into a snifter. Thanks to Deuane for breaking this out during a recent tasting.
Pours a slightly hazy golden coppery orange color, with almost no head or retention to speak of. Just some initial foamy white wisps and then that's it. Seems pretty standard for a Lambic. The aroma is less souring and definitely more tart with fruity tones. Almost like apple cider vinegar. Oaky tannins float along the back as well.
The taste is more lemony tartness, that blends into acetic acid sourness in the middle. I'm also picking up light sugary sweetness mixed in there as well. Straight up oak and Brett tartness shows itself in the back, with a final burning gurgle of lactic acid hitting the back of the throat as you swallow. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with a moderately viscous and extremely slick feel to it. Pretty spot on for the style.
Overall, this was a pretty solid Lambic. Fruit, oak, and funk were in well balanced abundance, with my only gripe being just a touch too much souring character in the back, which inhibited the drinkibility a bit for me.

3.15/5 rDev -22.6%
Bottle shared by someone at a tasting recently, thanks, this was a long time want of mine. The lambic character was subdued a little and an unfortunate harshness of acetone and acetic acid has emerged. I don't know what this beer was like fresh but it on its way out right now.
Beer is yellow and hazy with a thin white head of small bubbles, low retention, low lacing, moderate carbonation.
Aroma is sour, lactic and acetic, a little solventy.
I really wanted to like this beer but the solvency of it overwhelmed any nice character it might have had, there are bright spots in the beer like the dry finish with a mild oakiness and tartness but the forward and midpalate are dominated by the acetone flavor that is just too hard to drink. I can't recommend this beer.

The beer is hazy and golden hued with virtually no head. The aroma offers some nail polish, barrels, citrus. Smells eh... The flavor and feel both bring a sharp, harsh, palate attacking acetic character. Virtually no carbonation with a lingering sharpness. Some vinegar as well. maybe not as appalling as I described, but I won't be having this again..

A: Pours a pleasing vibrant gold color with almost no head. There is a very small amount of sediment visible in the glass.
S: Sweet and sour peaches, cherries, and other fruits. Reminds me of sour candy.
T: Very small amount of bitterness at first followed by a tart bite near the back of the tongue. The tart sensation lingers for a few seconds. A hint of cabernet, sour peaches and cherries, and tart apples. Briscoe displays a level of sourness which is neither over nor understated.
M: Carbonation is a a bit low for my taste. The beer is light bodied and leaves a sticky coating on the inside of my mouth which is heavier towards the back of my tongue.
D: A nice level of drinkablity. With most lambics I have no desire to drink more than one, but as my glass empties (partially my fault) I find myself wanting to open another Briscoe.

375ml bottle acquired in trade with Dunk (thanks!).
Poured a medium and cloudy golden color with no head. Aromas of wood, some funkiness, vinous, light citrus, and some vanilla. Tastes of vanilla, lighter vinous quality, citrus, some funk, and some wood. Light tart finish. Very soft body with almost no carbonation.

A-Cloudy golden yellow with absolutely no head what so ever. Rather dull looking.
S-Powerful sour notes of green apple and vinegar. Plenty of astringent oak notes in the background.
T-Vinegar sourness with accompanying lemon zest. Tart but not overly done. Drying oaky notes in the finish.
M-Light bodied, sharp and crisp with long lingering sour tartness.
D-Is this from southern California or Belgium? Excellent stuff that is so tasty yet not overdone. A truly outstanding job for an American lambic.

Alpine Beer Company Pub
Alpine, CA
Thanks to BdubleEdubleRUN for giving me the heads up that this was on tap!
Lightly hazed golden with a thin white head that leaves spots of lacing down the glass.
Green apple, a bit of lemon, and plenty of tart sourness combine for a very nice aroma.
The flavor follow similarly with the bright lemon and white fruits elements leading the way, with a slight funk following. Very drinkable.
Medium bodied with high carbonation.
A delicious sour. I would love to find a bottle of this.

12 ounce bottle that was originally twelve dollars at the brewery, split with my girlfriend last night, bottle said it had a 5% ABV, took me close to two hours to drink my eight ounce pour, poured into a pint glass
A-Golden orange color with more of a bright yellow tint, miniscule 1/8 inch bubbly white head that faded away instantly, did not notice any sediment, no retention or lacing
S-Brettanomyces, some vinegar, lots of oak, hint of cherry tart, lemon juice, white wine like a chardonnay mostly, some unidentifiable citrusy fruits, and a whole bunch of sourness
T-This beer was right up there with most acidic ones I have had, started off with a super tarty taste, vinegar and citrusy fruit in the finish, with a barley noticeable wood flavor in between, tart barely settled down but was certainly weaker in the last sip than it was in the first, some of the wine characteristics come about later on in the aftertaste, wish this was a little sweeter but I cannot complain because it is a straight lambic and it stays true to its style
M-Sour, dry, and piercing mouthfeel, thin to maybe medium body, would think there is more carbonation but it is pretty average, taste lingered for a long time, still equally aggressive as time went by
D-Would be able to drink a lot of this if it was not for the extreme tart, ABV is low and it is smoother once it warms, but sourness gets to you even though it is light on the stomach, not a smooth lambic
Not near as good as their Chez in my opinion, overly tarty for my palate and I almost choked after a few different sips, still a good lambic indeed though, just glad I got to try this rare treat because there was not much of it to go around, it sold out at Alpine pretty quickly from what I understand, would like to drink it again and compare various bottles, recommended if you can still find one

375ml bottle sampled side by side with the Chez.
Pours a slightly hazy yellow/orange without any real head, just bubbles on top of the brew. Aroma is a brash mix of vinegar, acidic notes with lemon zest and big Brett. Oak barrel notes with chardonnay accents. Extremely sour this one nearly singes the nose hairs!
First sip brings a dry, instantly mouth puckering sourness upfront. Big acidic vinegar flavors move into fruit tones with lemon zest, citrus and green apple. Earthy Brett accents move into oak wood. Flows down with an extremely strong sourness. This one is not for the faint of heart!
Mouthfeel has a thin body with very mellow carbonation that is just enough to be noticeable. This one is a sipper due to the depth of the acidic sourness. I was glad I shared this bottle as even a 375ml might be too much for one person. Thanks to sfoley333 for the opportunity to try this.

On-tap at the pub, on of he only Alpine beers I haven't had.
Poured into a tulip, the beer appears a golden blonde with a white head that quickly fades to the slightest ring on the glass.
The smell is well balanced with sweet and sour notes with some major funkiness, leather and citrus.
The tast is almost candy like with the sweet and tart combination. Some earthy funk and a fruity finish.
Medium bodied with good carbonation as it coats the mouth a bit.
Very good beer.

I have sat on this one since the release earlier this year. Finally opened a bottle tonight and poured into my Delirium Tremens snifter. Pours a clear golden yellow color with a slight orange hue. No head even with aggresive pouring to lure one out. Smell is mixture of sour orchaid fruits intertwine with acetic acid, brett( more cheese and not barnyard), and oak. Taste is sour lemon tartness with a green apple profile. Again there is the vingear present but not as sour as the unblended lambic style with a nice balance between sweet and sour not as dry as lot of sour beers. Uncarbonated and while apprioate for the style(unblend lambics should be uncarbonated) I really believe that overall it would of been better off with a low to medium carbonation level considering the mild to slight intense sour level(and since its made in Alpine and not Belgium but respect Pat authenticity in the style). A very drinkable lambic reproduction on par with Cantillon Grand Cru Bruocsella but diffently not for beginners to sour style beers.

Came out to alpine for the beer week releases, didn't get anything. Luckily this was on tap. Into tulip, poured a golden, hazy hay color much like all the ipas. No head, very little carb bubbles. Nose is musty, acidic bite, tartness. Taste is tart, sharp and sssliightly acidic. A bit dry as well. Mouthfeel is a bit thin, but it goes well with the flavor profile. Not much carb out of this one, but small bubbles spark up when it hits the tongue. Very thankful to have tried this. Worth the journey!

Religion vs Science How does it all add up?
Galaxy NGC 6872 the largest known spiral galaxy in the universe. Tip to tip, the galaxy spans over 522,000 light years, making it five times bigger than the Milky Way. At minimum there are at least 100 billion galaxies in the entire Universe.
How does this fit in with religion? Or does it? Where did we really come from? How? What are some thoughts and theories?

Lettuce just pretend that an eternally, powerful creator just stared at walls and twittled his thumbs before he created us i.e. believing we are the only creation, etc?
Anyone find it interesting that through the chaos of the big bang, everything abides by laws and rules? Speaking of galaxies, the mathematical properties of a galaxy (sacred geometry/fractals/Fibonacci sequence)?

Sadly human beings lack the capacity to comprehend reality past a certain level. There are 11 dimensions of perception that we know of but at our best we can only accurately perceive the world around us at the 1st, 2nd ans 3rd dimensional planes.
There might even be exponentially more universes than the one we live in now with entirely different sets of physics and laws.
Once you start delving into the more deeper and complex sciences like quantum physics and cosmology, science starts to turn more into mysticism and theory moreso than any religion that has ever existed.
the very nature of quantum mechanics is probabilistic.

There's no concrete evidence for the claims made in that article. Hence the word "hints" in the title, they need to gain further evidence. As of right now it wouldn't be sensible to say it's a certainty.
It doesn't prove God either. It's probably a direct consequence of nature, similar as to why all planets are round. However, we just don't know why yet the Universe may/may not be fractal.
And also, there is an uncertainty on every scale.

I could keep going, but i believe ive made my point. Maybe it is all happenstance, and came about from random chaos on so many scales. And maybe, just maybe, its something more, possibly evidence on the methods/means by which a creator created.

The math isn't speculation but the idea that it has some deeper spiritual or religious meaning is. (Interpretation as you correctly put it.)
I actually don't care if there is a creator or there isn't. It's just when people try and wrongly justify believing in it then I feel I am entitled to discuss it with them, especially on a public forum.
I'd like the idea of a deeper meaning in life, a soul that never dies and what not which is why I tried so hard to be religious as a young person. However I can't rationally believe it so I don't pretend that I do.
The mathematically cool things in nature you're pointing to are generally just a common manifestation of the physical law that controls it.
If I was making you're argument I'd make the suggestion that God made physical law (such as gravity, electromagnetism) and that's why stuff turns out nice, rather than saying God designed the niceties personally.
But then again since we are playing with theories that don't have a huge amount of backing, I'll throw in M-Theory(an advance on string theory) that predicts 10^500 universes all with their own physical law.

Vikings could haul in pretty good one
[size=13pt]Vikings could haul in pretty good one[/size]
They probably will wait until the second round to pick a good receiver. Thanks to the depth of talent at Ohio State, USC and LSU, they might be able to pull it off.

Re: Vikings could haul in pretty good one
I have a feeling Jarrett will be available when the Vikings choose in the second round, I really like both Smith and Jarrett beacuse they both have what our recievers were missing last year: hands, they may not be blazers but they catch anything that is thrown their way
I still have confidence in T-Will and think that him and either of these two will be a great 1-2 punch for the Vikes

Re: Vikings could haul in pretty good one
Somehow I'm just confident we'll have a good draft.
I like those guys in the 2nd round too, and they are in the perfect position to choose the one they think fit them the most.
And I have total confident in Studwell and his team in evaluating the promise of the players.
The only thing that can mess up our draft is if they blow away draft picks by trying to move up. But I think they'll be smart, they know we have a lot of needs that should be addressed on day 1.
Thanks to PPE for the sig.
Re: Vikings could haul in pretty good one
I found this very interesting
Davis (6-1, 202) isn't as big as Bowe (6-2, 221), and Smith (5-11, 197) is much smaller than Jarrett (6-4, 214). But ESPN draft analyst Mel Kiper Jr. said the days of NFL teams needing big, physical receivers are over because of stricter enforcement of the rules against illegal contact.
"Now you're seeing [Carolina Panthers receiver] Steve Smith, a Deion Branch, a Santana Moss succeed," Kiper said. "It's no longer about the big receivers and being physical and all of that. Now, the little receivers can get it done with quickness and speed and separation. Those are the catch words now."
Cortez Hankton 6-0
Randy Hymes 6-3
Billy McMullen 6-4
Martin Nance 6-5
Bobby Wade 5-10
Troy Williamson 6-1
Looks like our staff missed that memo..........Hmmmmmm
Many many thanks to my talented friend Jos for the new Sig.

Re: Vikings could haul in pretty good oneIf the Vikings: A, don't trade up for Georgia Tech's Calvin Johnson; B, won't settle for the second-best receiver at No. 7; and C, can't trade down -- do not panic.Zeus wrote:

Re: Vikings could haul in pretty good one
If we are lucky we can pick up Sidney Rice in the second round, but Steve Smith would also be a great pick!

Daily News
---- — LAKELAND, Fla. — Chad Green took the mound for the Louisville Cardinals on June 15 in Omaha, Neb. knowing it was probably one of the last times he'd don the Cardinal logo.
Just 18 days later, he was in a new uniform, pitching for the Gulf Coast League Tigers after signing his deal to play for the Detroit Tigers last week.
Green, an Effingham High School alumnus, was Detroit's 11th round draft pick this year, and signed shortly after the College World Series in Omaha.
"I didn't really talk to the Tigers before the World Series," Green said Tuesday. "I talked to them right after, we kind of knew I was going to sign. It was about when I was going."
He was assigned to the GCL team in Lakeland, Fla. to play short-season rookie ball.
Switching to a Tigers hat was a pretty easy choice for the former Flaming Heart.
"It wasn't really a tough decision at all," he said. "I've had three years in college. I pitched a solid year, and it was in my interest to go and start and professional journey. It was the right year to do it, with how old I am."
He had previously been drafted in 2010 out of high school, going in the 37th round to the Toronto Blue Jays. This time, he chose to sign the deal instead of heading to Louisville to take another shot at the draft.
Green amassed a 10-4 record in 18 starts this season for Louisville, working primarily as the team's Friday starter. He threw 104.1 innings with a 2.42 ERA, striking out 74 and walking 27 as a Cardinal.
His final start was at the College World Series, where he pitched two-plus innings and walked four while allowing four runs in a 2-0 loss to Indiana.
"It was awesome, in front of 27,000 people and on national TV," Green said of Louisville's time in Omaha. "I couldn't really find the strike zone, but it was an awesome experience."
The focus is now on his professional career as a member of the Tigers' organization.
For now, he's a member of the team in Lakeland, but could also pitch for the Connecticut Tigers, another short-season rookie league. The idea is to get him acclimated to the professional lifestyle and expectations while working with a limited time on the mound.
"They've just told me I'm on an innings limit for the year, whether I do that here or somewhere else," Green said.
He hadn't thrown for the Tigers as of the time of the interview, but made his debut Wednesday against the GCL Pirates. Green took the hill in the sixth inning against the Pirates. He struck out two in the inning of work, but also allowed a solo home run in his first professional inning.
With his first outing out of the way, it'll be business as usual for Green. The innings cap wll play a part in how often and in what kind of situations Green pitches, but it'll be the start of his career in the bigs.
"I threw a lot of innings," Green said. "There's not really a rush to get me throwing. It should be fun, I'm looking forward to it."

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito, R-W.Va., has cosponsored legislation in the U.S. House of Representatives to give main street financial institutions more stability and a fair examination environment, her office announced April 16.
Capito, chairwoman of the Financial Institutions Subcommittee, joined with Rep. Carolyn Maloney, R-N.Y., ranking member of the Capital Markets and Government Sponsored Enterprises Subcommittee, in introducing House Resolution 1553, the Financial Institutions Examination Fairness and Reform Act. The legislation seeks to stabilize the shifts in the examination process that became evident after the financial crisis.
"In the wake of the financial crisis, we have heard a growing level of concern about inconsistencies in the examination process from financial institutions, in some case leading to a construction of credit," Capito said. "There needs to be more consistency from regulatory agencies so financial institutions in our communities can provide small businesses with the loans they need to expand and create jobs.
"This legislation restores balance to the examination process by providing clarity for regulators and fairness for our local financial institutions."
Maloney said in a statement that she heard from banks in her district that guidance coming out of Washington doesn't match the exam process being conducted in the field.
"I am hopeful that this bill, which codifies existing guidance and gives financial institutions a more consistent appeals process, will help ensure that the examination process is fair and accountable," Maloney said.
Capito has invited bank representatives from West Virginia to testify before the Subcommittee on Financial Institutions and Consumer Credit at the two most recent hearings.

As with every major show, Bloody Elbow will be here to bring you live results, play by play and commentary for UFC on FX 7: Belfort vs. Bisping. Our live coverage will start with the one fight on Facebook (5:35 p.m. ET) followed by the fights on the Fuel TV prelim broadcast (6 p.m. ET) through the FX main card (9 p.m. ET) so make sure to make Bloody Elbow your home for this event.
This post will cover live results and thoughts for the main card on FX.
There are four bouts scheduled for the main card broadcast with the headliner being a five round middleweight bout between Michael Bisping and Vitor Belfort. The co-main event sees C.B. Dollaway taking on Daniel Sarafian, also at middleweight.
Rounding out the broadcast is a heavyweight bout between Gabriel Gonzaga and Ben Rothwell and a lightweight bout between Thiago Tavares and Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Make sure to come back during the event and share your thoughts as the event goes down.
Thiago Tavares vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov - Round 1 - Tavares looking to stalk here. Khabib circling away. Khabib with a big uppercut and Tavares drops and Khabib pounces and throws a huge flurry of punches and elbows and it's all over. Wow. Khabib Nurmagomedov wins by TKO (punches and elbows), round 1.
Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Ben Rothwell - Round 1 - Rothwell moving and throwing two punches that land and now Gonzaga lands a punch and shoots for a takedown. Rothwell manages to not get fully taken down somehow. They work against the cage for a bit. Gonzaa throws a few bombs that don't land and now backs off. 10-9 Gonzaga but he's the more tired fighter.
Round 2 - They're both throwing hard shots and now Gonzaga lands a few big shots and catches Rothwell in a guillotine and Ben has no choice but to tap. Gabriel Gonzaga wins by submission (guillotine choke), round 2.
C.B. Dollaway vs. Daniel Sarafian - Round 1 - Dollaway with a jab and he's trying to fight taller early. Dollaway with a ew leg kicks. They trade left hooks. Sarafian with a good combination of punches now. Sarafian drops Dollaway with a big punch and Dollaway is desperately looking for a takedown but can't get it. Sarafian with some more big punches and he's taking things over. Another big overhand right lands for Sarafian. 10-9 Sarafian.
Round 2 - Dollaway comes out the aggressor early before Sarafian misses with a spinning kick and then looks for a takedown. Big right hand form Sarafian but Dollaway eats it as well as could be hoped for. Dollaway lands a hard right hand. Sarafin's punches are slowing a little bit but he's still winning the round. Big uppercut from Dollaway hurts Sarafian badly! Dolloaway pounces but can't finish though he had Sarafian badly hurt. 10-9 Dollaway.
Round 3 - Sarafian with a stiff jab early, Dollaway misses a head kick, Sarafian does the same. They trade big punches that both land. Dollaway lands a heavy right hand and gets the takedown. Dollaway to full mount now, Sarafian gives up his back and manages to get to his feet. Dollaway with another takedown and he has the back. Sarafian ends up able to get the sweep to end up on top. Sarafian passes and now gives up the back. Now Dollaway sweeps to end up back on top himself. I never score 10-10 rounds, but I'll give one here and it's a draw on my card.
Official scorecards: 29-28 Dollaway, 29-28 Sarafian, 29-28 Dollaway. C.B. Dollaway wins by split decision.
Michael Bisping vs. Vitor Belfort - Round 1 - Bisping pumping the jab and then coming up a little short on the leg kick. Leg kick by Bisping lands well. Bisping misses a head kick. Bisping with a counter left as Belfort tries to throw a flying knee. Belfort not getting much off yet, misses with a wheel kick. Leg kick by Bisping again. Body kick by Belfort. Jab by Bisping, and again. Bisping's jab still landing well through the round. Punch and a body kick for Belfort. Big head kick by Belfort lands hard and now a flurry of punches for Vitor. Vitor stole it with the flurry. 10-9 Vitor.
Round 2 - Bisping coming forward, bleeding from the nose. Belfort lands a nice combo and Bisping has one of his own. Head kick from Vitor again and Bisping goes down! Vitor follows up with a series of shots on the ground and it's all over. Vitor Belfort wins by TKO (head kick and punches), round 2.

Some folks looking to cool off Friday flocked to area water parks.
There's no doubt about it -- it is hot.
So what better place to cool down than at the Wet 'n Wild Water park?
Hundreds flocked to the popular water park to escape the triple digits -- lines of kids and adults at the different attractions.
"It's really just a normal day for us -- a typical day for us we have people that come in the morning to beat the heat and then people come at 5 when the sun goes down when it's not as warm," said Wet 'n Wild's Trevor Wilson.
With this just being the first of many hot days to come, those at Wet 'n Wild are preparing for a crowded summer.
"It's really a destination for the entire family from the moms to the really young kids to the teenagers.. there's something for everybody," said Wilson.

The International Council for Science (ICSU) is a non-governmental organization which is devoted to the advancement in science. Among its many branches is the COSPAR which is an abbreviated term for Committee on Space Research.
COSPAR has been long established since 1958 with the main objective of providing any advancement in the fields of scientific space research through the gathering, collection, interpretation, and interpolation of data and information all for the progression and development of the latest in space research.
Indeed, much has been questioned about what is out there and what holds beyond the realm outside of our solar system. We may want to believe that there is actually life, or any similarity of it, in outer space. Thus, COSPAR has been created primarily for this purpose.
COSPAR has already held different research programs and symposiums all for this objective. It continues to update its discoveries and information regarding on space research by arranging and sponsoring various meetings and productions of professional publications. With this regard, COSPAR holds its annual Scientific Assemblies which provides a perfect avenue for thousands of scientists to come and gather together and discuss related matters about thorough and extensive topics. Prior to such an assembly though, a proposal of the list of meetings can be facilitated and obtained through COSPAR. Currently, it will be holding its 40th Scientific Assembly on August 2-10, 2014 in Moscow, Russia.
However, to be in particular, the COSPAR Scientific Assembly 29th edition was held on October 21-24, 2008 in Maputo, Mozambique and the following matters were discussed and conferred with:
The first resolution expresses the General Assembly's deep appreciation and gratitude to the Mozambique President H.E. Armando Emilio Guebuza and to Patricio Sande, the president of Scientific Research Association of Mozambique for their generous support made by the representatives of the assembly for their warm welcome to the participants.
The second resolution states that the International Polar Year and the Strategic Committee on Information and Data shall be spearheading the planning stage of research programs relating to the research's program reviews.
The third Resolution confers the recognition of the latest information and the technologies in communication which has the ability to revolutionize the manner and conduct of scientific research and education. It also stressed the importance of internet in the advancement of scientific, educational, and technical establishments and institutions especially in the area located in Africa and also around the world.
In summary, the COSPAR General Assembly 29th edition adopted the abovementioned resolutions for the formation of the new World Data System (WDS) which will replace their previous and long used system of World Data Centers.
Hopefully, with the resolutions made here together with the rest of the sessions and topics discussed in the previous scientific assemblies and for the succeeding assemblies to come will provide further advancement in the field of space research and development.
We may have only acquired partial information about what is out there but with COSPAR's effort, our knowledge will broaden and thus allow us more information and knowledge about what is really out there.
